NAMC-ODSP-W: small cell & wireless processing for LTE, LTE-A, 5G and MIMO as single mid-size AMC module
Complete RF to L3 BTS functionality based on Octasic 2224W DSPs, Analog Devices AD9361 RF and NXP QorIQ LS1043A quad-core ARM processors
The NAMC-ODSP-W is aimed at LTE, LTE Advanced and 5G systems that require MIMO technologies and enables complete RF to Layer 3 wireless basestation functionality to be implemented on a compact, single-wide AdvancedMC module.
Combining four RF channels with DSP, FPGA and ARM based processing, this module includes a comprehensive range of software including a Linux operating system, L2/L3 stack, virtualized core network software and software defined radio PHY firmware.
A GPS antenna input on the front panel connects to GPS receiver circuitry for GPS clock synchronization. The front panel also features a control connector for an external power amplifier.
A variant of the NAMC-ODSP-W offers a dual SFP connector to the front panel to enable a CPRI link to external RF, allowing the module to be used in conjunction with third party remote radio head (RRH) solutions.
The standard variant of the NAMC-ODSP-W, with dual AD9361 RF-SoC devices, two channels of any cellular standard can run independently of each other. In the NAMC-ODSP-W variant with dual SFP connectors, each DSP will function independently, therefore the NAMC-ODSP-W can run up to two separate cellular channels of any cellular standard and use CPRI links to communicate with remote radio modules such as the N.A.T. NAMC-SDR.
The NAMC-ODSP-W can run a variety of cellular software provided by Octasic and its trusted software partners. Octasic has developed physical layer (PHY) or Layer 1 software on the Octasic OCT2224 DSP for multiple cellular standards including GSM/GPRS/EDGE, CDMA2000, UMTS/HSPA, LTE-FDD/TDD and radio utility system (RUS). RUS is specialized software that provides network listen and RF player/recorder functionality on all cellular standards. RUS also includes a base station automatic synchronization system (BASS) module, which can be used to synchronize the internal clock of the NAMC-ODSP-W to commercial base stations in areas that GPS and external clock sources are not available.
Trusted partners of Octasic and N.A.T. offer higher layer protocol stack (Layer 2/3) and core network software for GSM/GPRS/EDGE, CDMA2000, UMTS/HSPA and LTE-FDD/TDD. All protocol stacks and core network software can run on the NXP ARM processor on the NAMC-ODSP-W or on external x86 or ARM CPUs. All software layers (L1/2/3 and core) are fully integrated and can be delivered as a turn-key solution. The integrated solution can be used in various scenarios such as private networks, wireless surveillance and research and development.

We already know that Dave Ramsey is not exactly a Christ-like figure when it comes to running his faith-based financial ministry. But an interview with FOX News only confirmed that fact, because he attempted to dismiss the need for people to receive stimulus checks during the pandemic or forgiveness on student loan debt:
Fox News guest Dave Ramsey: “I don’t believe in a stimulus check because if $600 or $1400 changes your life you were pretty much screwed already. You got other issues going on.” pic.twitter.com/6r1kTCxt8E
— John Whitehouse (@existentialfish) February 11, 2021
… Well, I don’t believe in a stimulus check. Because if $600 or $1,400 changes your life, you were pretty much screwed already. You got other issues going on. You have a career problem, you have a debt problem, you have a relationship problem, you have a mental health problem.
Something else is going on if $600 changes your life. And that’s not talking down to folks. I’ve been bankrupt, I’ve been broke, and I work with people every day who are hurting. I love people, I want people to be lifted up. But this is — again — it is just political rhetoric and it’s just throwing dollars out there. It’s peeing on a forest fire. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
The problem is some people just don’t have money. Ramsey thinks poor people did something to deserve their lot in life when the sad reality is that some people, through no fault of their own and despite their best efforts to the contrary, are struggling right now. If a $600 check changes your life — and it would for so many people — it says a lot more about the country we live in than every single recipient of that check.
Consider our healthcare system, for starters. It’s dreadful compared to that of other western countries. No one should ever have to go bankrupt due to a medical emergency, but for a good number of Americans, that’s how their poverty begins — not because they bought a few too many Starbucks drinks. For others, it’s crippling student loan debt based on a lie from Ramsey’s own generation that you absolutely must have a college degree in order to do anything useful with your life.
There are so many factors beyond personal responsibility that keeps people poor. A stimulus check won’t lift people out of that hole, but for some, it could mean not having to choose between rent or groceries for a month or two. It could help people stay afloat just a little while longer until the COVID vaccine is more readily available and society can slowly start to return to normal.
Ramsey doesn’t want to admit any of that because his entire ministry rests on the assumption that changing your mindset and priorities can make you wealthy. If Democrats are able to help people’s financial situation through the passage of a bill, why would anyone rush to buy Ramsey’s products?
By the way, don’t buy into Ramsey’s own claim that he knows what it’s like to be poor because he’s “been bankrupt.” The Daily Beast summarized that story well:
Ramsey’s story about going broke, meanwhile, is a tad different than the average American’s experience, which typically revolves around a lost job, personal crisis, or medical emergency. After amassing a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio in the 1980s, he found himself overleveraged as he acquired properties and couldn’t sell them fast enough, eventually filing bankruptcy.
Not exactly a guy struggling to get buy on minimum wage.
Ramsey is simply out of touch with America’s poor. That shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone because he’s never been in touch with them. Several years ago, he even published an article on his website suggesting poor people needed to adopt the habits of rich people if they wanted to join the latter group… never acknowledging that many of those habits were the result of having money in the first place.
When critics pointed that out in 2013, Ramsey responded with a sincere apology.
I’m just kidding. He blamed readers for twisting his intentions and told them to “grow up.” Eight years later, he hasn’t changed a bit.

Swedish Government Announces Latest Immigration Restriction Measures
On July 13, 2023, the Swedish government unveiled plans to tighten the requirements for family immigration. This is the latest attempt by Swedish authorities to make the Nordic country less of a magnet for asylum seekers from abroad and, more broadly, a less attractive destination for migrants from the Global South.
These new immigration restriction measures received support from the right-wing nationalist Sweden Democrats party. The Sweden Democrats play a key role in keeping the country’s moderate coalition government intact.
One of the most notable measures the government is promoting is an increase in the age for when the Swedish state can reject a residence permit for a spouse or common-law partner. The age in this case would be raised from 18 to 21 to prevent young migrant couples from entering the country and prevent forced marriages.
“This corresponds to the highest age limit allowed under EU law,” declared Swedish Migration Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard who asserted “a paradigm shift is now being implemented in Swedish migration policy.”
On top of that, the government put forward the idea of restricting the issuance of residence permits for humanitarian reasons, which would take away the possibility of the Swedish state granting permits to children and certain adults during fraught circumstances.
“The proposal has the goal of reducing the number of asylum seekers who apply to enter Sweden, Sweden Democrats’ Party Secretary Bäckström Johansson said to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. He subsequently said at a press conference that “the government and the Sweden Democrats continue to stand up for stricter migration legislation.”
The new Swedish government, which came to power in September 2022, has witnessed a right-ward shift largely propelled by anti-mass migration sentiment brewing in the city. The Sweden Democrats pledged to support the coalition government provided that some of their immigration restriction demands be taken into account by the Swedish coalition government.
The Swedes are no longer joking. Once viewed as a bastion of political correctness and the excesses of the welfare state, Sweden appears to be going away from its soft image. Decades of mass migration from dysfunctional countries from the Global South have made many Swedes reconsider many of the assumptions surrounding mass migration.
Naturally, as people witnessed their neighborhoods be demographically transformed via mass migration, they began asking tough questions. Moreover, they started to gravitate towards populist parties who vowed to get the immigration question sorted out.
The Swedish case goes to show that even in the most leftist of jurisdictions, right-wing reforms are still possible. The key is that the Right read the room and campaign on popular issues such as immigration restriction.

Viral hepatitis is responsible for one million deaths each year, according to the World Health Organization.
In the next ten years, it can claim the lives of over five million people in Southeast Asia.
“The vast majority of people infected with hepatitis are unaware, undiagnosed and untreated. Only by increasing awareness of the different forms of hepatitis, and how they can be prevented and treated, can we take the first step towards full control of the disease and save thousands of lives,” said Dr. Sylvie Briand of the WHO Pandemic and Epidemic Disease Department in a media release.
The WHO has adopted the theme “It’s closer than you think” for this year’s World Hepatitis Day, which is celebrated every 28th of July.
A silent epidemic
“There are an estimated 100 million people living with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and 30 million people with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the region,” the WHO said in its 2012 Framework for Global Action on the prevention and control of viral hepatitis infection.
The agency observed that because of the “asymptomatic nature” of HBV and HCV, “most people infected with these are not aware of their status until they have symptoms of cirrhosis or liver cancer many years later.”
“Types B and C are of significant concern since a high proportion of people infected with these viruses may not experience symptoms at the early stage of the disease, and only become aware of their infection when they are chronically ill. This can sometimes be decades after infection. In addition, these two viruses are the leading cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer,accounting for almost 80% of all liver cancer cases,” the WHO said.
The WHO estimates that 65 percent of those with HBV and 75 percent of those with HCV in Southeast Asia do not know that they are infected.
It added that hepatitis A and hepatitis E are likewise “serious health problems” as 12 million cases of hepatitis E occur annually in the region. This accounts for more than half the global burden, according to the WHO.
How hepatitis is contracted
“People can get hepatitis from either infected bodily fluids or contaminated food and water depending on the type of hepatitis,” the WHO said.
Types B, C, and D are contracted through the blood of an infected person. Types B and C can also be contracted through unprotected sex.
Type D only infects people who are already infected with type B.
Types A and E, meanwhile, are contracted though contaminated water or food and closely associated with poor sanitation and poor personal hygiene.
The WHO said that effective vaccines are available for all the virus types, except type C.
“Raising awareness, together with promoting partnerships and mobilizing resources constitute the first of the four priorities in WHO’s new framework. The others are: transforming scientific evidence into policy and action; preventing transmission; and screening, care and treatment,” the WHO said.

Making good on its promise to deliver HD titles on-demand before year’s end, Verizon Communications announced its availability in several of its FiOS TV systems Wednesday.
The telco launched HD VOD over its FIOS TV video service in five regions: Richmond and Virginia Beach, Va.; Tampa, Fla.; Fort Wayne, Ind.; and Pittsburgh. The company will roll the service out next year in its remaining FiOS TV markets, including Washington, D.C., Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
The HD VOD slate will include 75 titles that are a mix of free programming and pay-per-view movie titles, but the company expects to offer 1,000 HD choices by the end of 2008.
"Whether they're buying their first HDTV or their fourth this holiday season, HD customers always want more HD programming," Verizon vice president of video solutions Shawn Strickland said in a statement.
The telco has become an aggressive competitor for incumbent cable and satellite operators. Verizon is going head-to-head with cable operators by offering a triple-play alternative (video, voice and data) to cable offerings. Last month, the company announced that by the end of 2008, it would offer over its fiber-to-the-premises network 150 linear HD channels, a direct challenge to satellite-TV provider DirecTV’s claim of HD superiority.
While Verizon’s FiOS network marginally overlaps the footprint of most cable operators, its consistency in adding subscribers has become a concern. The telco currently has about 15% penetration of its TV service in its footprint, and it is targeting 20%-25%. In the third quarter, the company added 202,000 FiOS TV subscribers to bring its total base to 717,000 while cable operators saw their subscriber rolls decline.
Speaking at the UBS Global Media and Communications conference in New York Wednesday morning, Comcast co-chief financial officer Michael Angelakis addressed how increased competition from companies such as Verizon is impacting the cable business.
“Competition is increased, and we have to respond,” he said, “We will fight in the streets and do everything we can for retention, but I think the expectation that I have is that over the next couple years, we will lose some share on the video side.”

The 10 Commandments of Public And How Learn More
Currently, the search of public records site is attracting many people. The government keeps things happening to individuals on a routine basis in public files. Criminal documents, birth certificate as well as financial document are stored under the open files. The public records are beneficial in every country. The primary objective of the public records files to publicise the profile of the American citizens. Employer get a chance of analyzing the profile of a worker upon accessing the public records.
Accessing the public records were quite strict in during old days. One of the challenging concepts during the non-digital era was to view the public records. Among them was that the public records could disperse in the entire country where everyone could see. Viewing of the public records was not confidential in the old days since the fails were not centralized. The filing of birth certificates occurred to the specific place one was taken. You need to note that for one to trace the criminal records of persons required them to travel at the place of occurrence. The process of finding the essential documents was quite strict before the internet was invented.
It is through the internet that members of the public can browse on a variety of site to gain access to the public records. Getting in touch with the actual public records will require the person to key in the full name on the search box and have the required information. The main contributing factors towards faster public records access is the technology. With internet connectivity, it is currently easy for persons to view the required public files. Online search has enabled people from both local and global levels have access to the public records within a few minutes. The internet bundles are essential when you want to have faster access to the public records. With advancements in technology, it is possible to retrieve a full individual profile within a short time.
Access to the public records site can be done even at home provided you have internet bundles. You do not have to move to the exact location as it was in the past when looking out for the public records. Computer, tablet, and smartphones are the primary devices which one can connect to the internet and access the public records faster. Selecting the right and reliable public records site should be your first step. Alternatively, a cyber caf? serves best when it comes to the viewing of the public records at a reasonable charge. Selecting the best public records site to use is achievable upon engaging a specialist.

Justice Secretary Ken Clarke published his new Justice and Security Bill, claiming the proposals were substantially improved from those which went out to consultation last year.
The Bill creates rules to hear evidence in secret, known as closed material proceedings (CMP), but only in civil court cases where national security is a factor.
Inquests have been removed from the CMP remit in a concession to campaigners opposed to the idea – but the Bill has still been widely attacked.
Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti said: “Not as spun but as published, this bill would end equal open civil justice, putting Ministers and securocrats above the law.
“Judges are made fig leaves, robbed of their current public interest immunity (PII) discretion and so effectively required to comply with Ministers’ desires for secrecy. We knew the Bill would create a contest with one team permanently off the pitch. Now the farce is complete with a gun to the referee’s head.”
A spokesman said: “Liberty said the plans were worse than had been expected, claiming that the removal of inquests from secret evidence rules had covered other changes by the Government.
“The campaign group said that, under the proposals, the current system of hearing sensitive material via the use of PII would be effectively replaced with controversial CMP.
“Under the Bill, the Secretary of State would be able to apply to the court for a declaration that CMP should be allowed. The court would then be required to grant the application in any case where it considered that the Secretary of State would be required to make a disclosure damaging to the interests of national security.”
Liberty said the court is specifically ordered to disregard the possibility of protecting sensitive evidence under PII in doing so, making the judicial trigger a “complete fig leaf”.
Amnesty International’s UK researcher Alice Wyss said: “We still need to carefully examine the details of the Bill but our concerns still stand: that the Bill will allow the Government to throw a cloak of secrecy over wrongdoing including the alleged involvement by UK officials in rendition, secret detention and torture.”
Mr Clarke yesterday said the plans had been improved following consultations.

A new permanent exhibit at the National Archives called "Public Vaults" is designed to help visitors step back into history and go behind the scenes to explore the documents, photographs, maps, films, recordings and other objects in the Archives' collection.
Nearly a million people visit the Archives each year to see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Behind the walls where these charters are displayed are billions of records that trace American history in smaller yet significant ways.
Visitors to the new exhibit will be able to sample some of the items from behind this wall as they listen in on the deliberations of presidents dealing with crises, examine now-declassified top-secret documents and even read a teenager's plea to keep Elvis Presley out of the Army in a "Dear Uncle Sam" collection of letters citizens wrote to the government.
The building is located on Constitution Avenue, between Seventh and Ninth Streets NW, open 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily.

Ford 3.5l Duratec/ti-vct Engine Reviews
Ford 3.5L Duratec/Ti-VCT Engine Reliability Problem Specifications F150 Flex Edge Engine Specifications
Ford 3.5L Duratec/Ti-VCT Engine Reviews. Duratec 35 is a pure 3.5 gasoline engine. The Ford Cyclone Engine, domestic member L V6, was first released in 2006 for the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX 3.5 Ti-VCT engines. L grew out there for the Ford F-50 in 2015, replacing the model 3.7. L. Cyclone Sequence – Engine 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 Ford 3.5l V6 Is also used by Mazda for the Mazda 2007-2016 Mazda CX-9 (engine three,5 MZI).
Cyclone engine 3.5 Forged aluminum, cylinder blocks, open decks with solid layers floating high. It shares the same materials and beats as the favorite EcoBoost 3.5L, but no more than the construction required.
Like the 3.5L V6 3.5L model of three,7L, dressed with a solid crankshaft (alloy 4130), it is safely maintained by 6 metal cap screws, with a lightweight aluminum piston, low friction and a strong connector rod. Special piston cooling is provided by the solid oil injection engine contained in the engine, which sprays engine oil on the rear end of the piston.
Duratec 35 has an aluminum cylinder head with 4 valves per cylinder. The valves are stimulated by a direct method of mechanical tank stimulation (DAMB), an optional chain of motors that pushes a double rod shaft (DOHC) with a variable consumption period (iVCT) or variable consumption time and exhaust time (Ti-VCT – a neutral double variable time used in 2011).
A single bending time chain encourages the consumption of cameshafts, so they push the shaft shaft of the exhaust chamber using small chains. In 2011, the only flexible time chain was replaced by a silent chain (the small currents remain the same), duratec V6s water pumps were previously located on the back of the engine and driven by pulleys on camshafts consumed by rubber belts.

Three,5 V6 Duratec/ Ti-VCT Engine Problems and Reliability
Ford’s V6 3.5L engine defected a lot to the water pump. We’ve talked about the 3.5 water pump being in/conducted by the time chain. First, the dirty water pump will leak for some time, and cannot find it until the cooling level is greatly reduced, which can result in overheating.
Secondly, the leaking refrigerant produces oil and engine emulsions, causing the lack of lubricant for all internal components, which are not too strong for any engine, it is important to remove the pulley and current time from the cow to remove the water pump. It is therefore very laborious, on the contrary, the work is expensive.
However, the General Duratec 35/3.5L Ti-VCT V6 is a highly graded tool to apply a smooth and good compromise with energy mileage and fuel. The life expectancy of the engine is about 300,000 km.

KRACK SECURITY INFORMATION
To our valued ConnectAnza Members:
You may have heard about the recent WiFi security issue, the “Key Reinstallation Attack” (or KRACK), that was discovered by researchers and announced on Monday, October 16. KRACK takes advantage of a vulnerability in the WPA2 WiFi security protocol that nearly all modern WiFi devices use, which exposes these devices to eavesdropping and potentially even malware injection.
ConnectAnza works continually to ensure that our fiber optic network is safe. We are working with our equipment manufacturers to install upgrades and patches that address the issue. However, it is important to note that KRACK is primarily a “client side” vulnerability. This means that any KRACK attack would be directed at the device that is connected to the WiFi router or access point- not the router or access point itself. To be safe from this attack you must update your personal devices that use WiFi (smart phones, laptops, tablets etc.). The patches we install on the ConnectAnza network will not address the vulnerability of your personal devices.
As of October 18, Microsoft has already issued a fix for Windows versions 7 through 10, and Apple is currently working on patches for all their devices. Android phones and tablet updates will be released by the various hardware manufacturers. The important thing to remember is to update all of your devices as soon as the updates become available. While there have been no reports of this vulnerability having been exploited outside of a laboratory, we urge you to take the privacy of your data seriously.
As always, please contact us at 951-763-4333 or visit our website at www.connectanza.org if you have further questions or concerns.
Happy and safe computing!

Avoid using a heavy pressure when painting as this can damage natural direction of the bristles.
For opaque covering of glass let the first coat dry thoroughly before applying the second.
To clean a stencil pour rubbing alcohol in a shallow dish and submerge you paint loaded stencil. After a few minutes, the paint should just peel off, after that just rinse.
For best paint adhesion in glass painting always wash glass ware in warm soapy water, then wipe washed surface with a rubbing alcohol dampened paper towel to remove any remaining dirt, grease or soap film.
Never store a brush resting on its bristles.
To remove permanent marker from ceramic or glass use one part toothpaste with one part baking soda.
To remove a permanent marker from a whiteboard use whiteboard dry markers or a pencil rubber eraser.
To remove permanent marker from furniture use milk.
To remove permanent marker from carpet use white vinegar.
To remove permanent marker from wood use rubbing alcohol.

Locals cashing in while they can
Friday, 29th August, 2008
Locals will soon find out if they will be able to keep cashing in their beer bottles and cans.
The past month has been the busiest time in the 30-year history of Channing's Bottle Yard in Newton Lane as people rushed to claim their deposits.
On Tuesday this week cars were backed up to Nicholls Street, a spokesman for Channing's said yesterday.
Late last month the Adelaide recycling company that accepts the recyclables from Channing's suddenly announced that, from August 31, it would no longer take them.
The five cent deposit on each container sold in South Australia will rise to 10 cents on September 1 and Marine Stores said that it had no obligation to pay the deposit to people in Broken Hill, even though it had done so for 30-odd years.
Marine Stores is a subsidiary of the brewers Lion Nathan and the SA Brewing Company. Fosters also deals with them.
The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) in SA recently gave recycling companies the right to refuse bottles and cans from interstate because the deposit is not paid outside of SA.
But most of Broken Hill's beer has always come from SA and local drinkers have therefore paid the deposit.
According to the Channing's spokesman, Marines Stores were meeting their own lawyers yesterday to further discuss their liability in the matter and their final decision could be known today.
If bottles and cans cannot be recycled here, then this is a problem not just for drinkers, but also for the City Council because it will end up with a huge amount of extra waste.
At the start of this month Council wrote to the SA Government and Marine Stores to put the case for Broken Hill.
Council's Environmental Services Manager, Peter Oldsen, said neither had replied. Local State MP John Williams wrote to the SA Premier and the EPA but had heard nothing from them either
"Obviously we've got real concerns about this and we'll keep pushing the issue," Mr Williams said yesterday.
"As long as we are receiving supplies from South Australia I believe they have a responsibility to deal with the waste."

LeonXLeon is no stranger to Red Laser Records, having previously appeared on a number of compilation style EPs. My Solar Brass is his first full EP, and sees the Parisian producer set out his take on synth-heavy Italo disco. First you'll find the title track, a deliciously breezy combination of dreamy chords, bubbly synthesizer lines, jaunty synth bass and delay-laden percussion hits. Kid Machine hook-up "I Am After All" is a tasty, Euro-disco style chugger built around rising and falling synthesizer lines and a throbbing arpeggio bassline, while "Beefcake" is an up-tempo roller full of intergalactic synth flourishes and bustling electronic bass. To finish a fine EP, Al Dante provides a suitably epic interpretation of 2013 cut "The Train Tracks".

microRNA (miRNA) as therapeutics are an rising region of investigation [1,2]. miRNAs engage in a vital role in regulation of gene expression  and may possibly represent for that reason powerful therapeutic agents. Nonetheless, an critical limitation for their use is joined to the unstable nature of the molecular construction , to the quick plasma clearance and to their poor intracellular uptake that demands distinct delivery strategies. Nanotechnologybased techniques have been not too long ago employed the two to boost RNA steadiness in vivo and to improve RNA uptake into tumor cells. In this mild, the use of stealth nanocarriers enables the increase of RNA shipping and delivery in tissues characterized by improved vessel permeability and lowered lymphatic drainage, this sort of as tumors [five]. Among the proposed nanocarriers, lipid-primarily based vesicles, and in particular secure nucleic 15967159acid lipid particles (SNALPs) are characterised by large vesicle loading, very good 942206-85-1 transfection effectiveness and security in serum [six]. SNALPs have been successfully proposed to provide tiny interfering RNAs in non-human primates  and clinical trials are at the moment ongoing. Based upon these factors, SNALPs appears an intriguing developmental method to provide miRNAs in tumors. miR-34a belongs to a miRNA household that consists of also miR-34b and miR-34c and was to begin with identified to be a tumour suppressor (TS) miRNA [eight]. The tumor suppressor TP53 induces miR-34a transcription and this influence is paralleled by apoptosis, cell-cycle arrest, and senescence [ninety four]. The mutation of p53 with the consequent loss of function can be functionally counteracted by the addition of miR-34a in pancreatic most cancers cells [15,sixteen]. Even so, it was also recently found that miR-34a activity can be impartial from TP53 mutational standing in different cell programs [17,18]. In addition, the action of miR-34a is not limited to miR34a faulty mobile lines [eighteen].

South Africa’s Kevin Anderson made history as he became the first from his nation to reach a major grand slam semis after fourteen years at the on going US Open.
He defeated Sam Querry in the quarter finals at Flushing Meadows, with Anderson winning 7-6 (7), 6-7 (11), 6-3, 7-6 (9).
Not since Wayne Ferreira at the 2003 Australian Open has a South African made the last four at a Slam, while Cliff Drysdale in 1965 was the last man to do so in New York, when the tournament was still amateur.
Anderson has been hampered by injuries after he reached the quarter finals at the US Open in 2015 and was recently being ranked 80th.
He said: ‘This is incredible. Playing on this stage, one of the most famous courts in the world in a night session, getting through feels absolutely fantastic.’
In an unlikely fashion, Anderson will take on Spain’s Pablo Carreno Busta for a place in the title decider.
It was the South African who drew first blood, winning the final five points of the first-set tie-break after Querrey had seemed poised to take it.
The clock ticked past midnight as they entered a second tie-break, and Querrey almost let slip an even more dominant position, allowing 6-1 to become 6-6 before finally taking his eighth set point.
But Anderson came back to take the third set and the 28th seed edged the fourth-set tie-break too, converting his second match point when Querrey missed a forehand.
Earlier, Carreno Busta defeated Diego Schwartzman to reach his first Grand Slam singles semi-final.
‘This is very special for me, I’m going to try to enjoy it a little bit. It’s going to be a tough battle but I’m just so excited to be competing in a semi-final of a grand slam.’ Anderson expressed his feelings after making history.

The Bone is Back
Too trouble-prone for nuclear alert and sidelined in the first Gulf War, the B-1 is today the busiest bomber in the fleet.
- By David Noland
- Air & Space magazine, May 2008
(Page 4 of 4)
Toward the end of the Kosovo campaign, the B-1B tried out a new Air Force tactic called time-sensitive targeting. Instead of bombing pre-arranged targets, the B-1 acted as a "roving linebacker," loitering over the battle area and awaiting target assignments from ground controllers. The B-1's speed, agility, payload capacity, and endurance made it ideal for this new kind of aerial warfare, enabling the Bone to strike multiple targets, on demand, during a single mission. Such a tactical role, of course, had never been envisioned by the B-1's designers. Yet here it was, an erstwhile intercontinental nuclear bomber acting like an F-16.
In Afghanistan in 2001, the B-1 finally put it all together. The new roving-linebacker role was a perfect fit for the Afghan theater, with its small mobile bands of enemies and ever-shifting battlefields. And the new 2,000-pound JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) guided bomb, steered by GPS and accurate to within about 30 feet, proved to be the right answer for U.S. troops on the ground asking for close air support. JDAM-equipped B-1s destroyed the caves and training camps of the Taliban, with devastating effect. Air Force brass at the time credited the B-1 with a "very big part" in the rout.
By the time of the initial 2003 air campaign against Iraq, the B-1 and its JDAMs had mastered precision-strike-on-demand. During the first month of the war, a tag-team of 11 B-1s was over Iraq virtually 24/7, hitting a wide variety of targets within minutes of getting the call.
The Iraq war has since devolved into an urban civil and sectarian conflict in which aerial bombardment has little role, though on January 10 this year, two B-1s, joined by four F-16s, dropped 20 tons of bombs on what were believed to be militant hideouts and storehouses just south of Baghdad. And back in Afghanistan, the Bone has been raining JDAMs on a resurgent Taliban with such success that the B-2s and B-52s were sent home.
"In this war, at this time, the B-1 is the obvious choice," Colonel Jeffry Smith said last year, when he was commander of the 28th Bomb Wing, the B-1 unit currently deployed in the Middle East. "We're the one airframe that can carry all kinds of munitions, in large quantities, with a long loiter time. We can carry 500-pounders in the front bay, thousand-pounders in the middle, and 2,000-pounders in the back. You've always got the right bomb for the job, with a minimum of collateral damage. That's a great luxury for a commander." Recent civilian casualties in Afghanistan, however, are a grim reminder that even with highly accurate just-the-right-size bombs, targeting errors remain a serious problem.
Though it has found new esteem among Air Force brass, the B-1 may remain in the shadows of the B-52 and B-2, as far as the public is concerned. The Bone just missed a shot at stardom in 2003, during the initial strikes on Baghdad. Patrolling over western Iraq on April 7, the B-1B "Search and Destroy" got an urgent call from a nearby E-3 AWACS: a "high-priority leadership target" in Baghdad. It was The Big One, the AWACS operator reported. Translation: Saddam Hussein.
The jet banked sharply toward Baghdad and accelerated to Mach 0.9. Twelve minutes later, four 2,000-pound JDAMs slammed into the restaurant Saddam had been observed entering 47 minutes earlier. But the dictator had apparently decided to eat and run; by the time the bombs hit, he was gone.
Although the mission failed, it was a dramatic demonstration of the B-1's speed, range, flexibility, and targeting precision. And the Bone had not even flexed its muscles: A full-afterburner Mach 1.2 dash to the target would have gotten the bombs there six minutes sooner. Would those six minutes have made the difference? We'll never know.

The latest FCC auction saw Verizon walking away with over $10 billion in new spectrum, further cementing their mobile network as the best available in the United States. Others, like Sprint and T-Mobile, either didn’t make an effort, or didn’t try to acquire much spectrum. The playing field might get a bit more even next time around, though, as Verizon is now saying they’ve got no desire to snap up more spectrum, and will instead focus on making what they have the best it possibly can be.
Verizon did say they’d be interested in spectrum should it come available via a secondary market, but they are no longer interested in purchasing spectrum straight from the FCC. At least for now.
Low-end spectrum also isn’t something Verizon is interested in. Verizon did say if Sprint’s 2.5GHz spectrum holdings came available — and Sprint has suggested they’d be interested in unloading some of theirs — they’d possibly make a pass at it.
The nation’s largest carrier also said they’d look to make use of unlicensed spectrum, which is the bits the FCC keeps available for anyone to use.
With Verizon happy with what they have (for now), others might be presented with an opportunity to acquire large swathes of spectrum they want — and need. The FCC has also made overtures about keeping auctions more competitive for smaller carriers, so it could also be a case of Verizon seeing their glass ceiling with FCC auctions.
Either way, they’ll still have the broadest and best network available. Making it stronger will only distance them from the competition further.

The signs describing the Ballona Lagoon are a bit ragged--ok, trashed--but it's still an oasis hinting at the olde days in the midst of constant construction. Take out the buildings (which I would have done, if I still owned a copy of Photoshop) (or, come to think of it, if I were God), and most of the area used to look like this.
Then Abbot Kinney came along, bless his heart. I'm not being sarcastic. Let's face it, someone was bound to develop the real estate as a playground, and at least Abbot Kinney had a kooky vision in mind. Venice of the Pacific. He put in the canals that still stand (and some that have vanished).
These pictures were taken on Labor Day Weekend, 2009, at low tide. Which means, around 5 or 6 in the afternoon, because the moon had been full, or just past full, the night before. This shot is looking north from the Lagoon along the Grand Canal, ultimately to Washington Blvd. Via Dolce is the next street to the right.
All these photos should become huge if you click on them.
While looking for Historical Facts to pad this entry (I really just wanted to post my own photos) I learned that the lagoon is where two creeks--Centinela and Ballona--once emptied into the Pacific, and that people have been camping around here for at least 8,000 years. From what I hear, it's still possible to catch halibut near shore.
These drawings show the place about 2000 years ago (a best scientific guess) and in 1861. They are brazenly copied from the site of Statistical Research, Inc. a company contracted by developers to provide "cultural research management."
From reading their website (which has lots of interesting historical information), I gather that they somehow protect the archaeological sites in the Ballona Wetlands, as well as the buildings from the days when Howard Hughes had his aircraft business here.
Hmmm. I really should be doing other work, but this is more fun. For those interested, here's a link to a 1996 story in the Los Angeles Times about the problems facing the Ballona wetlands thirteen years ago--garbage, eroded banks along the canals, etc. Most of those problems have been addressed.
The Environmental Protection Agency says it awarded a $15,000 Five-Star grant for the restoration of this area. That's not that much, but other agencies--such as Heal the Bay, the Coastal Conservancy, and the City of Los Angeles Public Works--are also on board with funding. The project began years ago.
There are at least 60 species of water fowl that use this are. Besides the ducks that cruise the canals, I saw this great egret. I think. Great Egret is the name, not just me resorting to my favorite adjective. Snowy egrets have black beaks.
Birdwatching is one of the things I've always wished I had time for. Seriously. He's almost lost in this picture, but isn't he a remarkable creature?

Oilseed can be incorporated into existing crop rotations to support regenerative agriculture
29 August 2023, Downers Grove: Syngenta Seeds, LLC, part of the Syngenta Group, and Sustainable Oils, Inc., a subsidiary of Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:GCEH), have entered into a new agreement to sell Camelina sativa (camelina) seed – an ultra-low carbon oilseed crop that can be used as feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel and renewable fuels, and an ingredient for sustainable animal feed.
The collaboration reflects Syngenta’s strong commitment to enabling farmers to economically adopt regenerative practices around the world. Camelina can be planted on fallow land or land left idle between crop cycles. It is valued for its low water usage, quick maturity, and resilient yields. Camelina protects land like a cover crop providing a range of environmental benefits, including soil health and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
By offering farmers a new cash crop in high demand, the commercial partnership promotes a more diverse and resilient agricultural system while helping to deliver direct economic benefits to farmers from their otherwise idle or fallow farm acres.
“The collaboration of Syngenta Seeds and Sustainable Oils to sell camelina seed for use in sustainable aviation fuel, renewable diesel, and animal feed production is a significant step forward in promoting regenerative agriculture and renewable energy,” said Eric Boeck, Regional Director North America for Syngenta Seeds. “By supporting farmers and offering a sustainable source of fuel and animal feed, this partnership represents a win-win for producers, the environment, and the rural economy. It embodies our commitment to sustainability and our drive to bring innovative solutions to market.”
“We are very excited to partner with Syngenta Seeds on this collaboration to expand camelina’s growth in the U.S.,” Sustainable Oils President Mike Karst said. “Camelina represents a key feedstock for the production of renewable fuels and sustainable aviation fuel. It is a remarkable crop that protects like a cover crop and pays like a cash crop. We’re proud to be working with Syngenta to bring this opportunity to more farmers, improving our soil health and carbon storage while strengthening our nation’s domestic energy production in the process.”
Camelina seed will be sold through Syngenta’s AgriPro® dealer network in a vertical marketing model. Farmers who buy camelina seed will have a harvest purchase contract. There is no marketing risk for the farmer since there is already an integrated value chain model.
In addition, producing camelina is an attractive option, providing farmers with quick soil cover and improved soil structure, without displacing another crop or requiring new equipment.
Camelina seed will be marketed in select areas of Western Kansas, Colorado, Montana and the Pacific Northwest. It can be included as a spring crop in a wheat-fallow rotation in Montana and the Pacific Northwest, and as a winter crop in Kansas and Colorado.
About Camelina sativa:
- Camelina produces oil seeds that produce a sustainable oil for renewable fuel production.
- Camelina is a drought resilient oilseed that provides quick soil cover and improves soil structure.
- Sustainable Oils’ proprietary camelina varieties and farm-to-fuel pathways can yield renewable diesel with an ultra-low lifecycle Carbon Intensity (CI).
- Renewable diesel and other renewable fuels produced with Sustainable Oils’ patented camelina varieties have the potential to achieve a Net Zero or below CI score.

Is it possible to add custom fields to the Entities Note, History or Activity?
I tried to add a HistoryField with the following code:Act.Framework.Histories.HistoryField test = new Act.Framework.Histories.HistoryField();
Act.Framework.Histories.HistoryFieldDescriptor hfd = new Act.Framework.Histories.HistoryFieldDescriptor(test);
But the new descriptor doesnt appear in the array of the FieldDescriptors:
Act.Framework.ComponentModel.DBFieldDescriptor hFields = ActApp.ActFramework.Histories.GetFieldDescriptors();
Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot, Primius.

As far as I'm aware it's not possible to add fields to these.
Additionally, for entities we are able to create fields for we have to call ActFWK.Fields.Save(OurField); Our field has to be of type FieldDescriptor, if we examine the parameters for creating a new field descriptor we'll see it only accepts either a CustomEntityDescriptor or RecordType, which consists of Contacts, companies, groups, products and opportunities.

A forceful reaction has followed in major economies in terms of monetary and fiscal policy in an effort to attenuate the impact of the pandemic. The near-term dynamics of demand and activity will entirely depend on the length and severity of the lockdown. Once the lockdown has ended, the recovery is likely to be gradual and uneven and policy will have to shift from pandemic relief to growth-boosting measures, thereby putting additional pressure on public finances.
Sudden stop triggers swift and forceful policy reaction
The coronavirus pandemic has confronted major parts of the world economy with a sudden stop which is becoming more visible by the day. In the eurozone, several business surveys have seen record drops in March on a monthly basis. In the US, initial unemployment claims have skyrocketed to a degree never seen before and employment has fallen dramatically.
The prospect of a big hit to GDP has triggered a swift and forceful policy reaction from central banks. The Federal Reserve has taken the federal funds rate down to zero, embarked on a programme of buying commercial paper as well as high-quality corporate bonds. It has also sent a message saying it would do ‘whatever it takes’ to stabilize the treasury market as well as the market for agencies’ mortgage-backed securities. The ECB has introduced a EUR 750 bn Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme and given itself the much-needed flexibility of deciding which bonds it would buy.
The US administration and Congress have agreed on a fiscal stimulus plan corresponding to 10% of GDP. Several European countries have also taken measures to support households and companies. These measures should attenuate the impact of the crisis and limit the risk that a temporary health crisis ends up inflicting lasting damage to the economy, thereby weighing on the potential to recover swiftly.
Gradual and uneven recovery
The end of lockdowns will lead to a ‘mechanical’ rebound in activity and demand. Pent-up demand and inventory rebuilding are likely to give an additional short-term boost to growth. The key question is what happens to the growth outlook afterwards. The experience in China, in recent weeks, is a reminder that we cannot take a V-shaped recovery for granted, quite the contrary. It will probably be gradual because i/ not all countries move at the same pace towards normality (which will hinder exports, as we have already seen in China today) and ii/ the economic impact of the pandemic differs as well.
This impact has a bearing on how fast demand and activity will get back to the pre-pandemic growth path. Several factors suggest that the process will likely be gradual and bumpy. By then, balance sheets of many companies will have deteriorated, causing a preference for deleveraging over increasing capital expenditures. It may even have an impact on hiring plans. These considerations are particularly important for small and mid-sized companies, where many tend to have less-diversified business models, which make them more sensitive to the economic shock. Certain households will adopt a precautionary savings attitude, seeking to re-establish some financial cushion.
Lingering health risk concerns may also act as a drag on certain expenditures – e.g. international travel - without necessarily leading to an equivalent increase in other areas. More than anything, household spending will depend on how unemployment develops. In the US, where costs of laying off people are low, Federal Reserve officials expect the unemployment rate to increase significantly.
Finally, international trade will probably remain sluggish for months to come, whereby exports from countries where the lockdown has ended up suffering from the drop in import demand from countries which have gone in lockdown at a later stage. Against this background, it is quite likely that fiscal policy, after having provided -- together with monetary policy -- a strong dose of pandemic relief, will need to also provide demand stimulus to ensure that the recovery gathers sufficient pace.
