Percussive Water Jets for Rapid Excavation.
Final rept. 28 Dec 72-31 Dec 73,
SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATES INC SANTA MONICA CALIF
Pagination or Media Count:
A preliminary experimental investigation on the feasibility of producing percussive water jets and their potential utility for rock excavation was conducted. A percussive jet applies force to the rock as a series of high-frequency impact, rather than steadily. Percussive jets can be produced by modulating the jet discharge, i.e., by cycling the discharge rate above and below its average. Flow modulation suitable for testing was obtained by means of a cyclically varying flow resistance upstream of the discharge nozzle. Modulated free stream effects were observed by stroboscopic light and percussive impact was observed by means of a piezoelectric force gauge with high-frequency response. Modified author abstract

It's now three weeks since the Herald asked readers to help take a stand against alcohol-fuelled violence.
This marks the halfway point of our Safer Sydney Ad Challenge, where readers have been invited to come up with an ad - either a 30-second video or an A4 poster - aimed at curbing the prevalence of booze-fuelled violence in Sydney.
Since we launched our campaign, Premier Barry O'Farrell announced a raft of new laws to target the problem. Mr O'Farrell also announced plans for a wide-reaching media campaign, and confirmed the winner of the Herald Challenge would be considered for use in this campaign.
If that's not enough incentive for you, there's always the $2500 prize up for grabs.
Attached is a sample of the many entries we've received thus far, including both videos and posters. Congratulations to our entrants on their hard work. The benchmark has certainly been set high for people still hoping to enter in the final three weeks of the competition.
The winning ad will be one that:
- speaks to the target market (young people going out, in particular young men);
- is geared towards changing people's mindsets and/or behaviours around alcohol-related violence;
- has the capacity to go viral;
- is suitable for use in a mainstream media advertising campaign.
Whether it's through humour, music or brutal honesty, the Challenge represents a chance for young people to help define their culture; what they deem acceptable and unacceptable. But entries will be open to people of all ages.
To enter participants must send a 30-second video advertisement or A4 poster artwork to email@example.com, along with the entrant's name, age, address and contact phone number.
The winning entry will be used on Fairfax websites, and in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper and tablet editions.

New Delhi (NVI): The current overall case positivity rate of 5.11 per cent suggests the Covid-19 pandemic is close to being under control, Union Health Ministry today said.
While addressing a media briefing, Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan said, “According to World Health Organization, if 140 tests per million are being conducted per day & case positivity rate is at 5 per cent or below, it means the COVID-19 pandemic is under control. We are very close to that mark at 5.11 per cent overall case positivity.”
India has recorded 113 COVID-19 deaths per million and conducted 1,57,684 tests per million population, he added.
“The country’s present active caseload consists of 1.51 per cent of the total positive cases. Recovery rate is more than 97%,” he said.
“More than 1.48 crores doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered till 1 pm today. Out of this, 2.08 lakh doses have been given to people who are 45 years to 59 years of age with comorbidities & people with above 60 years of age,” Bhushan said.

Are you all about life advice, humour, and general awesomeness? Looking for a book has all three? Yes please!
See what I did there?

I think I’ve mentioned quite a few times in my Fabulous & Freakin’ Awkward Fridays posts how much I love Parks & Recreation – it is one of my favourite shows ever, and it stars one of the best human beings on the planet – Amy Poehler. Her book is just as fabulous as she is.
It is so fascinating reading about her time in Chicago in original improv group, the Upright Citizens Brigade. She speaks so passionately about her time performing, it’s hard not to be inspired. She explains how the group grew in members and popularity, moved to New York and eventually even gained a regular TV slot.
The really lovely thing about this book is that it’s not trying to be funny. There are no forced jokes, no stories written for the sake of humour. That being said, it is a funny book. Amy is a naturally funny lady, and that shines through organically amongst her stories of self-image, parenthood, love, sex, and friendship.
Speaking of friendship – you probably already know that Amy is best friends with Tina Fey, star of 30 Rock. You really get a sense throughout this book of just how deep their love for each other goes. Honestly, these two will give you serious friendship goals. They support each other, celebrate each other and raise each other up at every opportunity, and it’s bloody wonderful.
Amy Poehler is a total badass. She appeared in TIME Magazine‘s top 100 most influential people in the world. She’s an actress, a writer, a producer, a director, a voice artist, a comedian, a feminist, a best friend and a mother. She has a hoard of awards under her belt, and she’s a co-founder of the online community for young women, Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, which speaks of achievements by women, raises awareness of gender inequality and sexism, and promotes “intelligence and imagination over ‘fitting in.'”
Then there’s the fact that she’s a really wonderful writer. Yes Please is easy to read and really entertaining. Amy is great at making even the simplest stories interesting, and there are little gems scattered throughout the pages in the forms of incredibly insightful quotes, for example:
“Saying ‘yes’ doesn’t mean I don’t know how to say no and saying ‘please’ doesn’t mean I am waiting for permission.”
This book is about living unapologetically. It’s about being confident in yourself and your abilities and going at what you want head-on. It’s about realising that you deserve good things, and to not let anyone tell you otherwise. Honestly, reading this book is a huge self-confidence boost. Hey, if Amy Poehler thinks you can do it, you can bloody do it.
If you’re after a book that will make you smile, teach you life lessons, inspire you and entertain you, Yes Please is the perfect book. You can grab it from Book Depository here with free shipping worldwide – please let me know if you read it, or if you’ve already read it – I’d love to hear what you thought! Let me know in the comments below!

A novella falls into what used to be a creative desert between short stories and full length novels. No more.
People don’t always want to give the time to reading a novel that it requires, especially since novels are getting longer and longer and longer until sometimes a reader can measure a book’s thickness in inches! And yet, , though they don’t want to spend so much time, they often want a story with more depth than is possible in a short story.
Enter the novella. Here’s what it is and what to know when writing one:
- It’s normally between 20,000 and 30,000 words long though different publishers may have different length requirements that better fit their own business model.

Are you accompanied by a new romantic relationship that is keeping you to come back? Do you experience lost and confused and perhaps even a small amount afraid? In case you are then is actually time for you to quit feeling remorseful for yourself because you have certainly not had enough experience with these types of emotions yet. You still have a lot to master! This article is likely to touch after a few choices that will help you along your way.
First of all that I would love to talk about is definitely the art of creating excitement and desire for your brand-new relationship. New relationship energy (NRE) normally refers to an emotionally intelligent marriage where you have this mind-boggling desire to hop into a new relationship and try it out for the first time. As well as accompanied by pleasure and sometimes even envy. If you have been in some relationships before this really is definitely various experience, nevertheless if you have not been in a whole lot of romances then you may mistake this energy with simply being bored or a lack of curiosity. I have found that often times having excitement for any new relationship could possibly be the key to receiving past a number of the challenges of relationship without necessarily being uninteresting or inadequate interest. Read on to discover some of the ways you can make use of excitement to make a much better emotional relationship with your partner.
If you have do not ever been interested in a lot of new relationships then you may be afraid of being dependent on your partner. Becoming dependent on an individual can actually function against you. By growing to be independent you may become more self-assured and confident which often can really gain a new relationship. If you want to get at a level to feel secure and comfortable then you definitely should begin to create a new regimen that you will abide by. A straightforward way to do this can be to start planning a lot of fresh exciting activities that you can do collectively.
Another difficulty that many new relationships facial area is conversation. You and your lover may have trouble with communication because of earlier problems or simply a general insufficient understanding. Nevertheless , one thing that you can do that will improve conversation is to take a moment and discuss everything that you are concerned about.
The most important problem with any relationship is the fear of the future. This fear can be very bad for a new relationship and especially the one which is fresh. You should figure out how to release old dreads that are restricting your current delight and focus more over the future. Your companion should do the same and allow new love to develop.
New relationships can be a great deal of work and perhaps harder when you are afraid of dedication. A great way that you can overwhelmed this dread is by bringing baby actions. Don’t jump into whatever and my review here – www.worldwidebride.net make sure that you have things slowly. Even if it not seem like it truly is going well can not give up. Should your partner states that they refuses to meet somebody else, he or she is much more likely to stay fully commited.

In his third and final “anarchist” title following The Anarchist’s Tool Chest and The Anarchist’s Design Book, Schwarz builds a simple, economical workbench designed for flexibility and durability.
Much more than a construction guide, this engaging, sometimes poignant text highlights the author’s design philosophy and life experience over decades of woodworking, research, writing and publishing.
He provides historical context for five traditional workbench forms and then analyzes 17 different benches (nearly all of which he has built), noting the pros and cons of each. He covers European advancements in workbench technology between the 15th and 18th centuries, and looks at joinery and workholding concepts that can be adapted to an existing bench.
Schwarz refines an ancient European design for his featured workbench. His detailed plan includes drawings, a cut list, assembly instructions and advice on building accessories such as a shelf and bench hooks. Black-and-white photos throughout. A captivating read and an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to build a workbench.
Hardcover, 6" × 9", 324 pages, 2020.

Sunday, January 21, 2007, 05:47 PM - Political developmentsThe term of California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board commissioner Merle Rabine is ending. Earlier this week, I attended a goodbye event honoring Rabine. Held at the San Francisco building which houses the California Supreme Court, the event was pretty much a who's who of California workers' compensation law.
Present were heavy hitters from various groups, including the applicant attorneys (representing injured workers), the defense attorneys, the staff of the Department of Industrial Relations, the workers' compensation judges, the remaining WCAB commissioners, and other figures in the comp industry.
Rabine was appointed to a six-year term in 2000 by then-Governor Gray Davis. Rabine served as chairperson of the WCAB until Gov. Schwarzenegger appointed current chairperson Joseph Miller as the chairperson. Rabine's term was marked by the most significant changes in the system since the 1913 passing of the Boynton Act, which set up much of the system. Separate reforms passed in 2003 and 2004 have been the subject of a huge volume of litigation. Many issues from the 2003 and 2004 reforms addressed by the WCAB during Rabine's term are now headed for the California Courts of Appeal and, in at least one case, the California Supreme Court.
In the eyes of many system observers, Rabine's term was something of a surprise. As a former President of the California Applicants' Attorneys Association and as a partner and protege of legendary Santa Ana applicant attorney Eugene Leviton, many expected Rabine to be reflexively "applicant oriented". During his tenure, there were grumblings from a number of his former colleagues that his decisions did not sufficiently "carry the torch" for injured workers and that decisions on his watch were not especially well crafted. There was never any doubt about Rabine's competence, integrity or work ethic.
Frankly, it is probably too soon to assess Rabine's term on the WCAB. Legal historians may be able to better assess his term some years from now, depending on the outcome of many of the appellate cases under consideration.
In a short speech at his goodbye event, Rabine noted that he felt that one of his major accomplishments was the revision of the WCAB's Rules of Practice and Procedure.
Governor Schwarzenegger now has a chance to further shape the system by filling Rabine's slot with a new six-year appointee. WCAB commissioners do not necessarily always come from a workers' comp legal background . It is not clear how long it will take Schwarzenegger to settle on a new nomination. But any nominee will be subject to legislative confirmation, so the appointment could become wrapped up in Sacramento politics. Stay tuned.
Saturday, January 20, 2007, 03:10 PM - Medical treatment under WCI noted an interesting article in the 1/14/07 Sunday edition of The New York Times. The title? "Company Clinics Cut Health Costs: More Big Companies Are Turning To An Old Idea."
This is an interesting phenomenon, particularly in the context of California's 2004 workers' comp reforms and the upcoming debate in the 2007 California legislature about health care reform.
The article notes that large employers across the nation, frustrated with the escalation in costs of health care, have opened more medical clinics in their own factories and offices. Over 100 of the country's largest 1,000 employers are said to now offer on-site primary care services. The article notes that in the past, on-site company clinics were primarily for occupational injury purposes. The scope of these clinics appear to be widening now so that many employees can get check-ups for a variety of different illnesses and conditions. At many companies, there is no charge for using these clinics. Many of these clinics emphasize health education and preventive treatment. You can download the article by clicking here:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/14/busin ... ref=slogin
If your employer has an on-site clinic, the clinic doctors may be the first doctors you will see for a work-related injury or occupational disease. If the clinic doctor determines that your injury or illness is work-related, the doctor is required by law to file a form known as a "First Report of Work Injury." You can get a copy of that form by clicking here:
We have heard from some injured workers that company clinic doctors attempt to discourage workers from claiming that a condition is work-related. You should note that what you tell the clinic doctor at the time of intake (the "history") will probably be written down and will be in your file. Those notes can be used in later workers' compensation proceedings. If you believe your condition is work-related in whole or in part, you have a right to file a California workers' comp claim. To download a claim form, you can click here:
Friday, January 19, 2007, 08:59 AM - Medical treatment under WCCalifornia injured workers are entitled to reimbursement for mileage incurred traveling to and from doctor's appointments. This includes trips to and from physical therapy, acupuncture and other types of treatment. It also includes trips to and from the pharmacy to pick up your medication.
The mileage rate is now 48.5 cents per mile.
You can download mileage forms by clicking on this link:
The law does not require that you use that particular form, but since it is an official state form, we recommend that you do.
If you take the "long way" to appointments, you may not be reimbursed. Many insurance companies will audit your mileage reimbursement forms. The adjuster may use Mapquest or some other internet-based service and thus may plug in your address and the doctor's address to check on the miles you submitted. Remember, it is a felony in California to make material misrepresentations in order to receive workers' comp benefits. Be sure to make your mileage requests accurate.
If you are taking public transport, you can still submit your miles. They do not have to pay the exact cost of your public transport.
It is best if you keep accurate mileage records from day one. But what if you did not keep track of mileage but later want to submit it? One way to do this in an accurate fashion is to get a copy of the billing ledger from your doctor so you will know when you were at the doctor's office. Once you know the dates, you can do the mileage request. But if you have seen many doctors, you will need to use a set of the medical reports in your file to reconstruct where and when you had treatment.
The insurer has 60 days to pay your mileage. You may want to consider faxing it in so you will have a "fax receipt" to prove it was sent. If a particular type of treatment is being contested, the insurer may contest the travel mileage to and from that treatment. The penalty for unreasonable delay of payment of mileage is 25% of the delayed amount.
If the insurer refuses to pay mileage, the judge at the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) may have to hear the issue along with any other disputes. To get a hearing at the WCAB, there must be an "application filed" (to set up a WCAB case number) and a "declaration of readiness" to get a court date with the judge.
Thursday, January 18, 2007, 08:34 AM - Understanding the CA WC systemIn California workers' compensation, what does the term "application" mean? And what is an "applicant"?
An "applicant" is the workers' comp claimant. In a civil case the claimant would be called "plaintiff," but in workers' comp they are the "applicant" (i.e. applying for benefits, even if they are in fact receiving benefits).
An "application" (also known as an "app" or "application for adjudication of claim") is a state form that is filed with the California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. Usually before an application is filed, the injured worker has already given notice of the injury to the employer and has filled out a state claim form known as a DWC-1 form.
An application form can be filed by the injured worker (or their attorney), the employer or insurer, and even by a lien claimant. The purpose of filing the application form is to have the California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) set up a file on the claim. Once the application is filed at a district office of the WCAB, the WCAB will assign the claim a case number known as the WCAB number. That case number will be used by all parties in future correspondence with the WCAB if there are hearings requested or if settlement documents are later submitted for approval.
You can download an application form here:
http://www.dir.ca.gov/dwc/FORMS/Applica ... onForm.pdf
If there was no application ever filed but settlement documents are submitted to the WCAB for approval, the WCAB will have to set up a file and assign a case number at that time.
There can sometimes be time limit (statute of limitations) considerations with applications where a claim has been denied and no application filed. In other posts, I will address some of these considerations. As a general rule, if a submitted claim form is denied, a claimant should file an application within a year of the denial. See an atorney for more detailed and specific advice on this if you have concerns about the particulars of your situation (see our disclaimer above).
Wednesday, January 17, 2007, 08:26 AM - Understanding the CA WC systemCalifornia has an official form (known as a DWC-1 form) that is to be used for reporting work injuries. The top half is to be filled out by the claimant and the bottom half by the employer. You can download the form by clicking the following:
This is the form you can use to file claims for "specific injuries" (an injury with a definable date; i.e. you fell off a ladder, lifted a heavy object, etc.), for "cumulative" claims (your condition developed over time as a result of repetitive activities), and occupational diseases (asthma, asbestos, etc.) as well as the "compensable consequences" of the injury (for example, problems with your other knee as a result of favoring the knee initially injured, and so forth).
By law, your employer is required to give you this form if you ask for it, but you can download it here and give or send it to your employer. Sometimes workers encounter an employer who refuses to accept the form or fails to send the claim form on to its workers' comp insurer. If you are concerned that you have a hostile or flaky employer, then you should send ithe DWC-1 claim form to your employer by return receipt mail. That way if there is a dispute as to when you filed, you can prove you sent it. Be sure to keep a copy of anything you file.
Remember, it is a felony to file a fraudulent workers' comp claim in California. Thus, to lie or make material misrepresentations in order to receive benefits constitutes workers' comp fraud in California.
Your employer is required to send the claim form to its insurer or self insurance administrator. The claims administrator has 15 days to accept or deny the claim or they can elect to put the claim on delay for up to 90 days. In other posts, I will explore many of these requirements in more depth.

Residents from two Northwest Alaska villages say they found large numbers of dead mussels and krill washed up along shores in June, contributing to fears in the region that record warm waters may be causing a wide range of ecosystem changes, including unusual wildlife deaths.
The discoveries come amid profound changes in the ocean environment in Alaska linked to climate change, including a dramatic early ice melt, warmer water temperatures and record high air temperatures. There has been a string of unusual mortality events this season including deaths of seabirds and seals. Scientists are working to pinpoint what killed the animals and whether the deaths are related.
Mike Brubaker, director of the Center for Climate and Health at the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, oversees a network of local environmental observers in Alaska and elsewhere. He wrote in late June that "an ecosystem scale event appears to be playing out” off Alaska’s coasts, related to unusual ocean conditions.
“We do not know if these events are connected or what the cause or causes are. There are a number of possibilities,” wrote Brubaker, an environmental health professional.
The northern Bering Sea in May and June has never been warmer than this year, according to Rick Thoman, a climatologist with the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Following years of low sea ice, those and other waters near the Seward Peninsula late last month were 6 to 12 degrees above normal.
Lucy Oquilluk, a tribal president in the village of Teller, said she was part of a group that came across what she estimated was 2 million dead mussels lining a channel near the ocean on the Seward Peninsula in late June.
“It’s something we never imagined,” she said.
The blue shellfish were “floating everywhere” in the water, clinking against the group’s metal skiff. In some places, thick clumps of mussels were piled up along beaches like plowed gravel. They found mussels for about four miles, the meat inside the shells rotting and causing a stink that filled the area, she said.
Mussels aren’t a subsistence food like salmon, but their deaths raise questions about the health of the ecosystem, she said.
“The salmon that we eat were running, but it’s still kind of concerning,” she said.
George Scanlan, recently retired shellfish specialist for the state, said he’s seen pictures of the rafts of mussels, taken by Oquilluk and others. In 15 years focused on shellfish in Alaska, he’s never seen mussels dying in such large numbers, or heard reports of it, he said.
“It certainly raises concerns,” he said. “These are resources where we need to know what’s going on.”
Residents in the village of Shishmaref, about 70 miles north of Teller, have found mounds of dead krill along beaches on the barrier island, they’ve reported on the site. They’ve also occasionally found small prey fish -- eaten by seabirds and larger fish -- washing ashore.
More than 30 dead seabirds -- murres, auklets and puffins -- have been found near the village in recent weeks, said Ken Stenek, a high school science teacher from the village. That comes atop the thousands of seabird deaths recorded in Western Alaska waters in recent years, many showing signs of starving.
In recent weeks, dozens of dead ice seals have been found off Western and Northwest Alaska coasts. That includes 39 seals in the Shishmaref area discovered around July 1 that likely died weeks or months earlier, said Barbara Mahoney, acting stranding coordinator in Alaska for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The deaths are reminiscent of an ice seal die-off in Alaska waters that ended three years ago and prompted NOAA to declare an “unusual mortality event" for the animals.
Scientists will collect samples of the various animal carcasses for testing, according to the LEO network.
In southern Alaska waters, scientists have confirmed 15 gray whale deaths, part of an unusual mortality event for gray whales from Mexico to Alaska, Mahoney said.
NOAA is working with other groups to investigate possible connections between the deaths of the seals, whales and other animals in Alaska, she said. Potential contributing factors include warm waters, a lack of prey, and harmful algal blooms that can allow toxins to enter the food web, she said.
“They are all possible factors to be examined," Mahoney said.
Stenek said that in late June he found “millions” of dead krill stretching for several miles along beaches near Shishmaref. Stenek said he’s heard reports of miles-long stretches of dead krill also being found on nearby islands.
Julie Keister, an oceanographer at the University of Washington, said it’s not unusual for krill to wash ashore in large numbers. But the high water temperatures near Shishmaref late last month -- 12 degrees above normal -- would be enough to stress the animals.
Stenek said he’s been walking beaches in Shishmaref for years.
“I’ve never seen them piled up like this," said Stenek, who reported his findings on the LEO network.
Many ocean animals eat the shrimp-like krill, including whales, seabirds and the valuable pollock fish harvested by commercial fishermen in Western Alaska waters.
“It’s a worry,” Stenek said. “Is there a toxin being produced by algae because the water is warm? There’s something wrong in the environment that all these things are dying and washing up on our beaches."


The second half of 2017 is going to see a limited supply of NAND flash memory and OLED screens hit the smartphone market, according to Gartner, leading to shortages and price increases. The squeeze will hit the higher end of the market harder, according to the prediction – the likely impact has already been seen in the launch of AMD’s flagship video card, which was hampered by a shortage of HBM2 (High Bandwidth Memory 2) chips.
“We’ve already seen Huawei’s P10 suffer from a flash memory shortage, and smaller traditional brands, such as HTC, LG, and Sony, are stuck between aggressive Chinese brands and the dominating market shares of Samsung and Apple in the premium smartphone segment,” said Gartner research director Anshul Gupta.
These shortages hit periodically, and can make the difference between profit and loss for a device maker. They drive higher profits for memory makers, of course, but also put pressure on them to increase capacity and investigate new technologies. Samsung, the world leader, will invest $7bn in a Chinese semiconductor plant to meet growing demand for NAND flash memory for mobile devices, the firm announced this week. It will invest the money over three years, in its existing plant in Xi’an.
Samsung had about 41% of the NAND market in the first quarter of this year, while Toshiba, which developed the technology, was in second place with 18%, according to IDC. It will be important for the Korean giant also to be at the forefront of the next innovations in mobile memory – but one interesting development has come not from Korea or Japan, but Russia.
Collectively, the industry has been exploring alternatives to NAND flash for a few years, and while most improvements have been seen in high performance technologies like SSD (solid state disk) storage and video memory (GDDR5, HMB2, 3D NAND), new research from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) could find a home inside mobile devices.
Conventional RAM requires a constant voltage to retain its contents, and will lose that cache if the power supply is interrupted. As such, there’s a fixed power consumption to be accommodated in designs – not a problem in data centers, but something that has to be carefully balanced in smartphone designs.
The new approach from MIPT uses a magnetic design that could significantly lower the power requirements for the RAM. The prototypes, developed in partnership with two other Russian institutions, could reduce power draw by a factor of 10,000 – a statistic which should immediately inspire skepticism, until further testing and benchmarks are published.
They key is the use of a piezo-electric material and an opposing magneto-elastic structure inside a memory cell, which the researchers are calling MELRAM. The piezo-electric effect denotes the ability of some materials to create electricity when subjected to mechanical stress, and the magneto-electric effect describes how certain materials become magnetized when moved through electric fields. Essentially, the new design plays these two physical properties against each other.
So layers of piezo-electric and magneto-elastic structures can be designed to recreate the logic gates used in conventional DRAM, using a control voltage to make the memory cell behave as desired. The researchers say that this design is non-volatile, retaining its contents without power, and doesn’t require constant rewrites.
The design exploits the piezo-electric component’s desire to deform when voltage is applied, and then generate voltage when subject to a mechanical force. Because of this (physics is weird), the components can be arranged so that the piezo’s desire to deform along one axis works in opposition to the magneto-elastic’s particular magnetization – and that structure can be magnetized in two different directions. Thus – logic gates.
Currently, the prototype is quite large – around a millimeter square. However, MIPT is confident that it could be miniaturized for use in RAM chips – both for PCs and mobile devices. Getting this down to the nanometer scale required will require a huge investment, but the allure of historically low power consumption will be very tempting.
For a long time, flagship smartphones typically had 1GB of RAM, and 16GB to 32GB of storage. The volatile (loses contents when power supply is interrupted) and non-volatile (retains contents with no power) memory available in flagships has surged in recent years, with most Android flagships over the 3GB RAM mark, and some as high as 8GB, and internal storage now mostly north of 64GB, with 128GB not particularly rare.
As such, the demand for flash memory from smartphone makers has apparently outstripped supply – perhaps because the surge coincides with the growth of SSD usage in PCs and data centers. While technologies like 3D NAND have significantly boosted the storage density of these flash storage chips, increased capacity is useless for a phone if the power consumption is too high.
For the smartphone designers, power consumption is one of the main concerns, and the selection of each component comes down to whether it fits inside a specified power package – rather reminiscent of Apollo 13. A series of compromises will be thrashed out, as the final decisions on RF front-ends, screens, and storage are agreed by the engineering team – before they begin agonizing over how best to fit all those components inside the increasingly thinner form factors.
Returning now to Gartner’s study, the firm’s figures say Samsung sold 82.5m smartphones in Q2 2017(22.5% market share), with Apple in second place on 44.3m (12.1%). Third-place went to Huawei, on 35.9m units (9.8%), with Oppo in fourth on 26.1m (7.1%), and fifth went to Vivo, on 24.3m (6.6%). The Others section accounted for 153m, some 41.8% of the market. Collectively, total sales stood at 366.2m units in the quarter, up 6.7% compared to Q1 2016, and Android had an 88% share of the market, with iOS on 12%.
“Although demand for utility smartphones remains strong, there is growing demand in emerging markets for 4G smartphones, with more storage, better processors and more advanced cameras. This is translating into higher demand for mid-priced [$150 to $200] smartphones,” said Gupta.
As for regional sales, Gartner says Greater China accounted for 101.5m units on Q2 2017 (27.7% market share), Emerging Asia Pacific bought 78.2m units (21.4%), with North America on 40.4m (11%), Western Europe on 35.8m (9.8%), and Latin America on 32.9m (9%). Others stood at 77.4m (21.1%).
The regional shifts are notable, with China falling to that 27.7% share in Q2 2017 from its 33.3% share in Q2 2016, the year before. The other sectors have pretty much stayed the same, but it seems that Emerging Asia Pacific has snatched up the share that China lost – growing from 17.3% to 21.4%.

THESE cute bunnies certainly have the awwww-factor.
Staff at RSPCA Bryn-y-Maen Animal Centre in Upper Colwyn Bay are currently caring for six baby rabbits and four young rabbits.
The young bunnies arrived at the centre on 29 June after they were removed from a property when the single elderly occupant was rushed into hospital. They have now settled into life at the centre and will soon be available for rehoming.
RSPCA animal care assistant at Bryn-y-Maen Animal Centre, Abbie Griffith, said: “We have got a mother rabbit who we have called Constance and she has six babies with her – and they are gorgeous! (pictured left)
“Constance is a real sweetie and really tolerant, both with us and her babies.
“We also have the most adorable little Angora cross who we’ve called Wurzle – he always got hay stuck to his face – bless him.
“Then we’ve got a female called Mable who is also an Angora cross, and a little boy called William possibly a lionhead.
“All the rabbits have settled in well and two of them have now been neutered and are well on the way to being available for rehoming soon.”
The centre is also looking for forever homes several other rabbits that are currently in their care.
For advice on caring for a pet rabbit please visit: http://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/rabbits
If you think you can offer any of them a new loving home please get in touch to with the Bryn-y-Maen animal centre on 0300 123 0745 or at email@example.com.
The centre is open between 11am and 4pm everyday, except Wednesdays.

AURA Equipments Beats IBM to the Punch with DB2/400 Engine for MySQL
January 22, 2008 Alex Woodie
AURA Equipments is rolling out a new product that will provide a storage engine that integrates DB2/400 into the open source MySQL database, a feature that IBM said it would deliver, but which it has so far failed to do. The new product, called iStorage for MySQL, should make it easier for i5/OS shops to manage their System i-focused environment while still maintaining compatibility with the new generation of PHP applications, the French IT company says.
MySQL, which was just acquired by Sun Microsystems last week, is unique among relational databases in that it supports multiple database engines that allow

We don’t need no stinking badges – WMT execs guilty!
The California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) this week filed a lawsuit against current and former Walmart executives stemming from the April 22 New York Times article, which chronicled the company’s alleged use of bribes to accelerate expansion in Mexico and efforts by top executives to quash an investigation when the situation was called to their attention.
CalSTRS appears to have taken everything that appeared in the New York Times piece at face value, presumed Walmart executives are dirty and in a classic rush to judgment filed what’s know as a derivative lawsuit.
“By utilizing the derivative action, CalSTRS is seeking to remedy the damages sustained by Walmart as a result of alleged gross misconduct by Walmart's executive officers and directors," CalSTRS CEO Jack Ehnes said in a statement. “The focus of this action, unprecedented in CalSTRS history, is corporate governance reform to ensure that similar misconduct is not repeated in the future. We need truly independent directors who will set the right tone from the top.”
In the lawsuit CalSTRS contends, “The board’s prolonged failure to address detailed and credible allegations of criminal activity undertaken with the tacit or express consent of current and former senior corporate officials, and the complicity of the company’s highest level executives in shutting down any investigation into those allegations, is causing and will continue to cause the company substantial harm.”
Those are pretty strong allegations to make on the basis of a newspaper article. Granted, the New York Times piece was very detailed, extensive and undoubtedly required a great commitment of resources from the publication. It made current and former top executives look disingenuous at best and outright dirty at worst and set back the company’s reputation after years of hard work that yielded in incremental gains. The scandal has provided new momentum to the vocal minority long opposed to Walmart that had been denied ammunition the past five years as Walmart improved its operations and won over open-minded critics.
CalSTRS has a right as a shareholder to take action it thinks appropriate to improve the value of its holdings in Walmart and affect corporate governance. Filing a lawsuit against top executives when all the facts are not in evidence seems wrongheaded, premature and counterproductive. In fact, filing the suit will require Walmart to incur increased legal costs that will negatively impact its ability to operate on a low cost basis that underpins execution its low price strategy. Without a further reduction in its cost structure, Walmart will be challenged to widen the price gap with competitors that is seen as essential to the ongoing turnaround in U.S. operations that is viewed as the catalyst to drive Walmart shares higher this year and next.

©2012 This excerpt taken from the article of the same name which appeared in ASHRAE Journal, vol. 54, no. 5, May 2012.
By René Dansereau, Member ASHRAE, and Chantale Bourdages, eng.
About the Authors
René Dansereau is director of expertise in HVAC and the main designer of this project and Chantale Bourdages is a mechanical engineer at DESSAU, in Longueuil, QC, Canada. Dansereau is a member of ASHRAE's Montreal chapter.
Adorned with a $125-million, 16-story glass tower, the Université de Sherbrooke's new Longueuil Campus is one of the tallest structures on Montreal's South Shore. Inspired by an innovative view on education, the university sought to offer an open study environment to encourage interdisciplinary mingling and promote the development of new and emerging disciplines. The campus' bold architectural design focuses on open spaces and gathering areas to promote a sense of community and cohabitation throughout the grounds. Its translucent building envelope maximizes the use of natural light and enhances a majestic view of the green rooftop oasis. By blurring traditional boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, the new building bridges the gap between man-made structure and its environment.
Getting Into the Mechanics
The casual observer is often unaware of the dynamic systems behind the scenes, working to ensure their comfort and enabling them to appreciate architectural displays. From a mechanical viewpoint, all the glass and open spaces translated into a complex web of interrelated challenges. Moreover, the fact that the university wanted its new campus to be a model of sustainable development pushed energy challenges even further.
Therefore, designers opted to harness the power of geothermal energy. Ground source energy is not only renewable, but it has proven itself as an economically viable source of energy. About 25% of the building's heating/cooling capacity is extracted from the ground by means of a 165 ton (580 kW) screw chiller, which functions essentially like a heat pump and is connected to 37 vertical boreholes. Depending on the building's needs, the geothermal system can work in heating or cooling mode throughout the year. During spring, the cold ground can even provide free cooling by bypassing the compressor.
However, before tapping into geothermal energy, designers wanted to recover as much energy as possible. Despite harsh winter temperatures in Québec, most buildings require year-round cooling in their central areas. Typically, excess heat, deemed unusable because of its low temperature, is thrown out, even in the dead of winter.
Wanting to reconcile these apparently discordant cooling and heating needs, designers devised a low-temperature heating loop that recovers the excess heat from the center of the building, via two heat recovery chillers (Figure 1), and redirects it to the colder areas where it is needed.
To reduce summer cooling loads and downsize overall cooling equipment, mechanical designers worked with architects to select a low SHGC glass, consequently increasing occupant comfort in the process. A third chiller, which can achieve excellent part-load performances (NPLV as low as 0.368 kW/ton [0.105 kW/kW]) thanks to a variable speed drive installed on its compressor, was selected to supply the building when in cooling mode.
The control system allows cooling needs to be monitored and met through a sequence of operations that ensures that the most efficient combination of chiller/cooling tower and/or geothermal energy is used. Needless to say, the low NPLV chiller is frequently used during cooling season.
The single control system manages all HVAC equipment, as well as security and electrical systems, through the building's fiberoptic telecommunication network. Since the control system is routed through the telecommunication network, close coordination between the mechanical designers and the university's computer technicians was essential.
Low-temperature water loops are often key components of high-performance mechanical designs because they are capable of exploiting heat coming from many sources.

Acting Attorney General Monty Wilkinson restored on Wednesday the Justice Department policy of holding back on election probes that could disrupt the certification process. The policy was weakened by a shady memo from Attorney General Bill Barr in the days after the election, in which Barr said probes involving election irregularities need not wait for the results to be finalized before moving forward.
At the time, then-President Trump was using false claims of mass fraud to try to stave off his defeat. It was feared that by greenlighting election probes before the results were formalized, Barr was seeking to use the Department to legitimize Trump’s narrative. Barr had spent several months in the lead-up of the election making sensational assertions about mail-in voting. Federal investigations did reportedly move forward in states were Trump and his allies were contesting the results, though ultimately, Barr publicly indicated that the Department probes had failed to turn up evidence of mass fraud that would have reversed Biden’s win. Trump, meanwhile, tried to find other ways to weaponize the Department to attack the results after Barr left his post in December.
While Barr was not willing to go fully along with Trump’s election reversal schemes, he did seek to hamstring the Department’s more longterm approach to voting rights enforcement on his way out the door. That policy too was rescinded by the Biden administration Wednesday.
On the day before Barr left the Department, he issued a second, more under-the-radar memo — rescinded Wednesday — that sought to limit what the Justice Department could do to enforce voting rights laws when state or local jurisdictions made it harder to vote.
Specifically, Barr’s policy said that “a change in voting laws or procedures by a state or local jurisdiction which readopts prior laws or procedures shall be presumed lawful unless the prior regime was found to be unlawful.”
Barr had tee’d up the policy change as a response to how states adapted their elections to the pandemic, as he said that states should be allowed to decide “whether to maintain or abandon those procedures for future elections.”
Wilkinson said that both Barr memos depart from the Department’s “longstanding policies and practices concerning the timing and scope of enforcement activities in connection with elections and voting procedures.”
Read the Wilkinson memo below:

Fox has set up shop at the Television Critics Association winter press tour, where it will reign alongside its cable arm, FX, for the next two days. There’s lots of news to come, beginning with premiere dates for its spring lineup. First up is the Adam Pally vehicle—well, actually, the time machine’s not exactly a thing on wheels—Making History. When we teased the show in our winter/spring preview, the premiere hadn’t yet been scheduled, but it’s now been set for March 5 at 8:30 p.m. ET. No word yet on if and how the reduced episode order has affected the show.
Fox also announced the premiere date for a new reality competition series, Kicking & Screaming, which will see real-life survivalists paired with “pampered” individuals as they’re sent on various adventures (the conflict will come from their differences, you see). You can look forward to watching those worlds collide on March 9 at 9 p.m. ET.
Gina Prince-Blythewood’s drama, Shots Fired, will kick off on March 22 at 8 p.m. The limited series will center on a pair of racially-charged shootings in a small Southern town. Sanaa Lathan, who previously worked with Prince-Blythewood on Love & Basketball, will lead the small-screen investigations. Shots Fired also stars Stephan James, Helen Hunt, Stephen Moyer, and Richard Dreyfuss.
Finally, the Prison Break revival will be televised beginning April 4 at 9 p.m. ET. Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller have reteamed to execute another daring escape, which apparently involves resurrecting one of them first. We’ll have more info about the content of the shows after those panels.

Jacob Vanderbeck, Jr. House, 41-25 Dunkerhook Road, Fair Lawn, Bergen County, an 18th century Dutch house, is "threatened with demolition and a lack of regulatory protection," according to Preservation New Jersey.
(Photo courtesy Preservation New Jersey)
FAIR LAWN — Barrister Builders, a Wyckoff building company, may build an assisted living facility at the site of Fair Lawn's historic Vanderbeck House, owner Bob Milanese told Fair Lawn Patch.
Built in 1754, the house has fallen into disrepair since it was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in the 1980s.
Milanese said he and borough officials were "looking at a number of possibilities" to save both the Vanderbeck House and the neighboring Naugle House. Barrister has yet to file formal plans for the property.
In May, Preservation New Jersey placed the Vanderbeck House on its list of the 10 most endangered historic places in the state.

Dartmouth performers star in 'Mary Poppins'
The South Coast Children’s Theatre’s upcoming production of Mary Poppins features plenty of Dartmouth talent, including the famed nanny herself.
Fourteen-year-old Dartmouth Middle School student Katherine Charrier will take on the role of Mary Poppins for the show. It’s a role the six-year member of the theater group is honored to be in, but it did require some extra practice to nail down.
“It was kind of a challenge but it’s super cool that you get to put on a British accent,” she said, explaining that she had taken a workshop in British and Cockney accents through the program.
It’s all to prepare for her role as Poppins, a character she’s excited to play owing to her magic and personality.
“She’s quirky in all her special ways,” Charrier said. “She’s very magical and it’s super fun.”
Charrier is not the only Dartmouth performer in the show. Sydney Hart, 9, plays Jane in the show. It’s her first year with the theater group. She joined after hearing about it after performing in Elf Jr. at Dartmouth High last year. But she’s excited to take on her first role as a devious child.
“I kind of like being a fresh child,” Hart said. “It’s so much fun, and you get to talk in a different accent.”
Robert Sioch plays John Northbrook and the tapping sweeper. The 12-year-old is used to playing characters closer to his own age, but is excited to be performing an older role for a change.
“I like that I get to be in a more mature role,” Sioch said.
Sarah Lawrence, the show’s co-director, said Mary Poppins was chosen this year to bring more magic to the group’s yearly productions and to top off last year’s performance of Seussical the Musical.
Performances are scheduled for May 11 and 12 at 7 p.m. An afternoon show is on May 12 at 1 p.m. Performances are at Keith Middle School, 225 Hathaway Blvd in New Bedford. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students and seniors.
