Deluge Of Underground Rap Releases Keeps On Coming
Apparently, the City of Houston has enacted some sort of bill stating that everybody release new rap music every single day of the goddamn year. How else to explain the abundance of emails received these past few weeks with music? It very nearly surpassed the number of hate messages we received, which is pretty impressive.
Six pieces of music you should listen to this weekend before the next 14 tapes come out next Tuesday:
1. After building up a fair amount of anticipation among undergrounders, Montana, the floppy-haired dynamo from rap group ATW, released his first solo effort, Lift Off. The EP is every bit as unruffled as Montana is; he wanders around through myriad soundscapes (boom-bap sonicism, worldly production, subtle and engaging horns), existing two steps away from ostentatious and six miles away from anxious, somehow still appearing likeable and charming.
Highlights include "Green," the front half of "Leavin' Flo" and the bombastic "Front Butt," which, despite our sincerest hopes, is not, in fact, about an actual front butt. Listen to the full thing here.
2. Yung Zavey, the precocious MC we first saw take on Wayne's "6'7'" track several weeks ago, has officially released his mixtape for free download, Thinking Out Loud. Despite a skit that introduces the tape that runs too long, it mostly flows well, highlighted by "Sweat Shop," which sees Zavey float around in his most natural cadence, and "Everybody Raps," which samples the same set of horns that The Niceguys did on "The Show."
Also, there's a skit on there that's less a skit and more a straight sound bite from Montell Williams' surreal interview re: his marijuana use. It's still funny. Get it here.


Policies' evolutions on ageing and digital solutions: NESTORE contributes its policy recommendations
Following the recently adopted Council of the European Union’s Conclusions on “Mainstreaming Ageing in Public Policies” (12 March 2021) by the initiative of the Portuguese Presidency, and in line with the Council’s Conclusions adopted on 9 October 2020 under the German Presidency, NESTORE is happy to release its first version of policy recommendations which contribute the European debate to promote human rights on ageing and a mainstreamed approach to digital solutions to cope with the challenges brought by the demographic change.
This infographic provides a quick glimpse into a more extensive deliverable, built on the experience of the project and touching issues like ageism, inequalities, co-creation, data management and decision making in the era of artificial intelligence.
Conceived by AGE within the NESTORE project, these policy guidelines hope to sustain the debate around the Europe’s Digital Decade.

The Quanzhou Intermediate People’s Court in Fujian found Samsung guilty of infringing a patent of Chinese tech giant Huawei. It ordered the Seoul-based company to pay Huawei $11.6 million as damage. The lawsuits that Huawei filed against Samsung’s two units in Huizhou and one in Tianjin, and two other companies in Fujian were for infringement of its patents for more than 20 models of Samsung gadgets.
Besides the damage, the court ordered Samsung and the two other device makers to stop breaching the patents of Huawei. The devices that Huawei said Samsung infringed its patent include the flagship Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, China Daily reports.
The patent violations, according to Huawei, include Samsung’s unlicensed use of Huawei’s cellular communication technology and software in smartphones. Huawei got a patent from the State Intellectual Property Office of China in 2011. In 2015, Huawei boosted its effort to accumulate high-value patents by investing $9.2 billion in research and development which is 15 percent of its sales revenue that year, Global Times reports.
ZDNet reports that the Huawei lawsuit was over the patents in commercialized user interfaces such as the design of widgets and arrangement of icons. Samsung said in a statement that it would review the court decision to determine how it would respond to the court ruling. The South Korean giant points out that over many years, Samsung Electronics was the pioneer in the development of innovative mobile technologies by investing continuously in research and development to provide consumers with a wide range of innovative products.
Samsung filed in July in China a countersuit against Huawei. It accused the Chinese tech giant of breaching its patents for the Mate 8 and Honor smartphones of Huawei. The combined market share of Apple and Samsung in the smartphone market is 38 percent, while Huawei holds 8.3 percent.

Feb. 7 (Bloomberg) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel said joint euro-area bonds would paper over lagging competitiveness in some countries that she cited among the root causes of the region’s debt crisis.
While financial markets might welcome joint debt issuance, they would threaten prosperity, Merkel said in response to questions from students after a policy speech in Berlin today.
“My belief is that we have to take our cue from the best in Europe,” she said. “Mediocrity isn’t enough” to compete in the global economy.

With temperatures heading toward June levels, and rain hardly a rumor, this might well become the most splendidly gorgeous weather week of the last seven months. And for the millions of allergy sufferers in the Philadelphia region and the rest of the Mid-Atlantic, it might well be the most tormenting.
Allergists are warning that the trees are primed for a major pollen frenzy, thanks to outstanding prep work on the part of winter and excellent looming flight conditions for the ultra-tiny pollen grains.
“I’m constantly walking outside, looking at the trees,” said Marc Goldstein, allergist at the Asthma Center in Center City. “You can see things are happening.”
Indeed they are. As the blossoms fade and call it a season, the trees are swelling with that delightful first-green shading power, and are greatly in the mood to spread their progeny. That likely will mean an outbreak of sneezing, itchy eyes, and assorted discomforts. (Note: They do not include fever, which can be a symptom of COVID-19, which isn’t associated with itchiness.)
Given the forecast for temperatures into the 80s by Wednesday and gentle breezes, for those sensitive to tree pollen, “It’s going to be a tough week,” said Jonathan O’Brien, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service Office in Mount Holly.
Said Leonard Bielory, an allergist in Springfield, N.J., who is a National Allergy Bureau-certified pollen counter, “The pollen will be intense.” Thanks to long-melted, generous February snows on both sides of the river, the trees have ingested “lots of nutrients,” he said.
He added that the potential would be worth a weather service-style alert if such a system existed in the pollen universe. It doesn’t, for a variety of reasons.
What is pollen?
Trees rely on winds to disperse pollen, which is the male fertilizing agent, and they have to emit mass quantities of it since only a small percentage of the yellowish-green grains will yield seed production. No tree is going to take root on your car roof or windshield.
The victims of this scatter-gun approach are millions of allergy sufferers whose bodies view the grains as invaders. That causes their immune systems to go into hyper-protective mode by producing antibodies that set off sneezing, general stuffiness, and beyond-annoying itchiness in the nose and mouth and, in some cases, the ears.
Typically, the tree season begins in mid-March and approaches its crescendo height right about now. Cooler weather more or less kills the mood and inhibits dispersal. Temperatures around here in April have been close to normal, without a run of seriously warm days.
That evidently is about to change as high pressure builds over the East, and this could be a banner week for holders of stock in Kimberly-Clark, the outfit that owns Kleenex.
How do we know what’s in the air?
We don’t, precisely. Unlike weather, the nation has no organized pollen-observation network. Credible coverage is sparse.
Around here, the Asthma Center, which supplies daily counts to The Inquirer, uses an automated “machine-learning” device to estimate amounts and pollen types and posts counts daily. The readings are taken once a day between 6 and 7 a.m.
The device has not yet received the allergy bureau’s seal of approval, but Goldstein, chief of allergy and immunology at Pennsylvania Hospital, said that it has performed well in tests and that he is confident that it is measuring accurately.
» READ MORE: Something in the air (from 2011)
In Mount Laurel, Burlington County, Donald Dvorin, of the Asthma and Allergy Doctors practice, uses a traditional trapping method in which the grains are sucked into a coin-slot-size slit and attach to a microscope slide coated with an adhesive.
He then analyzes the prisoners, and the result is the amount of pollen that has entered the trap in the previous 24 hours. His are the only NAB-certified counts in the region.
Neither systems are predictive, however, and pollen concentrations can vary radically throughout the day depending on the weather and other variables that aren’t completely understood.
The predictability of pollen remains a subject of research and debate. Timothy Craig, professor of medicine and pediatrics in allergy and immunology at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, said that when he hears someone claim the ability to predict pollen levels three days out, his reaction is, “Like heck you can.”
One 2017 study of predictive pollen apps in Europe showed quite mixed results. Bielory said he has had some success with 72-hour forecasts, adding that an accurate weather forecast would be about 90% of the battle. But the atmosphere has been known to mock those three-day weather forecasts on occasion.
The seasons have some variations in peaks and valleys from year to year, according to available data, but it’s a decent bet that a warm, dry day in late April with a breeze is going to yield high counts.
When it’s raining or the atmosphere generally is moisture-laden, that pretty much closes the airports.
But pollen experts say other variables are in play, including volumetric differences from year to year. For reasons that aren’t clear, the trees just decide not to expend the same amount of effort. One other variable is the human being.
What’s to be done
Symptoms can be worse on an overall low-count day, and vice versa. Species can affect individual sufferers differently. For example, a high concentration of oak pollens — which dominated last week, Dvorin said — wouldn’t be a big deal for those who aren’t allergic to oaks. An overall high count, however, increases the odds of torment.
Allergists recommend that patients begin using medications — for example, steroidal nose sprays and inhalers — well before the season starts.
If it’s too late, tissues and a wide selection of over-the-counter remedies are available. And one thing you can do is the obvious: Avoid the stuff if at all possible.
Stay inside when counts are high, and if you are outside, you can do something totally different: Wear a mask. When you come back inside take a shower and change clothes.
Keep the windows shut and turn on the air-conditioning if it’s warm enough; that will clean and dry the indoor air.
The forecast suggests that it could be warm enough to kick-start that a/c later in the week. That also could kick off a pollen storm. Said Dvorin, “That will bring it out.”

About 275 U.S. military personnel are being deployed to Iraq to help American personnel and protect the embassy in Baghdad, President Barack Obama said Monday in a letter to Congressional leaders.
The force, which began deploying on Sunday, has been sent "for the purpose of protecting US citizens and property, if necessary, and is equipped for combat," Obama wrote in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner and Sen. Patrick Leahy, Pro Tempore President of the Senate.
"Starting on June 15, 2014, up to approximately 275 U.S. Armed Forces personnel are deploying to Iraq to provide support and security for U.S. personnel and the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad," wrote Obama. "This force is deploying for the purpose of protecting U.S. citizens and property, if necessary, and is equipped for combat. This force will remain in Iraq until the security situation becomes such that it is no longer needed."
Obama added: "This action has been directed consistent with my responsibility to protect U.S. citizens both at home and abroad, and in furtherance of U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct U.S. foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive. I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers Resolution (Public Law 93-148)."
Meanwhile, U.S. and Iranian officials discussed the crisis in Iraq on the sidelines of separate negotiations about the Iranian nuclear program in Vienna, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday.
They did not come to any agreements, according to published reports.
Militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group have routed Baghdad's army and seized the north of the country in the past week, threatening to dismember Iraq and unleash all-out sectarian warfare with no regard for national borders.
President Barack Obama will review his national security team's suggestions for how to deal with the crisis in Iraq, including possible actions, when he returns to Washington later on Monday, the White House said earlier.
"The disastrous situation in Iraq was discussed today. No specific outcome was achieved," a senior Iranian official told Reuters of the talks on Iraq. "Iran is a great country that can play a key role in restoring stability in Iraq and the region."
"Military cooperation was not discussed and is not an option," the senior Iranian official added. "The final decision will be taken by capitals."
Officials from Iran and six major powers are meeting in Vienna this week to see if they can meet a July 20 deadline to secure a comprehensive agreement to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for removing Western sanctions on Tehran.
CNN and The Wall Street Journal both reported Monday that the U.S.-Iran dialogue would begin this week and will mark the latest in a rapid move toward rapprochement between Washington and Tehran over the past year.
On Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry also suggested that talks with Iran were very close to being launched.
"I wouldn't rule out anything that would be constructive," Kerry told Yahoo News when asked if the United States would cooperate militarily with Iran, one of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's key allies.

He stressed, however, "Let's see what Iran might or might not be willing to do before we start making any pronouncements.
"This is a challenge to the stability of the region. It is obviously an existential challenge to Iraq itself. This is a terrorist group," Kerry told Yahoo.
Kerry also said that using drones to attack the terrorist group ISIS might not be the "whole answer, but they may well be one of the options that are important to be able to stem the tide and stop the movement of people who are moving around in open convoys and trucks and terrorizing people."
Amid reports of a massacre of 1,700 Shiite soldiers by the Sunni militants, Kerry insisted "when you have people murdering, assassinating in these mass massacres, you have to stop that, and you do what you need to do if you have try to stop it from the air or otherwise."
The stunning onslaught by militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, known by its acronym ISIS, threatens to dismember Iraq and unleash all-out sectarian warfare across a crescent of the Middle East, with no regard for national borders that the fighters reject.
Joint action between the United States and Iran to help prop up the government of their mutual ally Nuri al-Maliki, the Iraqi prime minister, would be a major breakthrough after hostility dating to Iran's 1979 revolution, and demonstrates the degree of alarm raised by the lightning insurgent advance.
The ISIS fighters captured the mainly ethnic Turkmen city of Tal Afar in northwestern Iraq overnight after heavy fighting on Sunday, solidifying their grip on the north.
"The city was overrun by militants. Severe fighting took place, and many people were killed. Shi'ite families have fled to the west and Sunni families have fled to the east," said a city official who asked not to be identified.
Tal Afar is a short drive west from Mosul, the north's main city, which ISIS seized last week at the start of a drive that has plunged the country into the worst crisis since U.S. troops withdrew in 2011.
ISIS, seeking a Sunni caliphate in Iraq and Syria, is also fighting Syria's Iranian-backed government. It has support among some in Iraq's Sunni minority who see the Shi'ite Maliki as both a pawn of Iran and of the United States, whose forces ended decades of Sunni dominance by toppling Saddam Hussein in 2003.
A senior U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Sunday that Washington was considering making contact with Iran to find ways to aid the Baghdad government. Publicly, the White House said no such contacts had yet taken place.
The U.S. overture came a day after Iran's President Hassan Rouhani, a relative moderate elected last year, said Tehran would consider working with the United States in Iraq if it saw that Washington was willing to confront "terrorist groups".
U.S. President Barack Obama has ruled out sending troops back into Iraq although he says he is weighing other military options, such as air strikes. A U.S. aircraft carrier has sailed into the Gulf.
The only U.S. military contingent on the ground are the security staff at the U.S. embassy. Washington said on Sunday it was evacuating some diplomatic staff and sending about 100 extra marines and other personnel to help safeguard the facilities.
The sprawling fortified compound on the banks of the Tigris is the largest and most expensive diplomatic mission ever built, a vestige of the days when 170,000 U.S. troops fought to put down a civil war and mass sectarian cleansing that followed the 2003 U.S. invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein.
Iraqis now face the prospect of a replay of that extreme violence, but this time without American forces to intervene.
The prospect of cooperation between the United States and Iran shows how dramatically the ISIS advance has redrawn the map of the Middle East in a matter of days.
Rouhani has presided over a gradual thaw with the West, including secret talks with Washington that led to a breakthrough preliminary deal last year to ease sanctions in return for curbs on Iran's nuclear programme. But open cooperation against a mutual threat would be unprecedented.
Iraq is the only country closely allied to both the United States and Iran, but tentative past efforts by Tehran and Washington to cooperate there were fruitless. Tehran has longstanding ties to Maliki and the Shi'ite political parties that U.S.-backed elections brought to power after Saddam's fall.
Iran blames the United States and its Gulf Arab allies for stoking Sunni militancy in the region by backing the uprising against its ally Bashar al-Assad in Syria, where ISIS emerged as one of a dominant Sunni rebel group in a three year civil war.
Asked if Iran would now work with the United States against ISIS, Rouhani told a news conference on Saturday: "We can think about it, if we see America starts confonting the terrorist groups in Iraq or elsewhere.
"Where did ISIS come from? Who is funding this terrorist group? We had warned everyone, including the West, about the danger of backing such a terrorist and reckless group," he said.
ISIS fighters began their assault last week by capturing Mosul. They swept through other Sunni cities in the Tigris valley north of Baghdad, including Saddam's hometown Tikrit.
Tal Afar, the city captured on Sunday, had been defended by an unit of Iraq's security forces commanded by a Shi'ite major general, Abu Walid, whose men were among the few army holdouts in the province around Mosul not to flee the rapid ISIL advance.
Most of the inhabitants of Tal Afar are members of the Turkmen ethnic group. Turkey has expressed concern.
ISIS fighters appear to have halted their advance in towns along the Tigris an hour's drive north of the capital. They also hold most of the Euphrates valley to the west, which they captured at the start of the year, bringing them to the gates of the city of 7 million people.
Shi'ites, who form the majority in Iraq and are based mainly in the south, have rallied to defend the country, with thousands of volunteers turning out to join the security forces after a mobilisation call by the top Shi'ite cleric.
Baghdad itself is divided between Sunni and Shi'ite neighbourhoods and suffered intense street fighting in 2006-2007. Peace never quite returned and districts are still surrounded by barbed wire and concrete blast walls.
ISIS fighters aim to establish a state on both sides of the Syria-Iraqi frontier based on strict medieval Sunni Muslim precepts. The group, which fought against the U.S. occupation as al Qaeda's Iraq branch, broke away from al Qaeda after joining the civil war in Syria and now says the jihadist movement founded by Osama bin Laden is no longer radical enough.
Their advance in Iraq has been assisted by other Sunni Muslim armed groups, alienated by what many Sunnis believe is repression from Maliki's Shi'ite-led government.
The government's collapse in the north has also allowed forces of the Kurdish autonomous region to advance, seizing the city of Kirkuk and rural areas with vast oil reserves.
Residents in Tal Afar said Shi'ite police and troops rocketed Sunni neighbourhoods before the ISIS forces moved in and finally captured the city. A member of Maliki's security committee told Reuters that government forces had attacked ISIS positions on the outskirts of the city with helicopters.
"The situation is disastrous in Tal Afar. There is crazy fighting and most families are trapped inside houses. They can't leave town," a local official said on Sunday before the city was overrun. "If the fighting continues, a mass killing among civilians could result."
In years of fighting on both sides of the frontier, ISIS has gained a reputation for shocking brutality. It considers Shi'ites to be heretics deserving of death and its bombers have been killing hundreds of Iraqi civilians each month.
A series of pictures distributed on a purported ISIS Twitter account appeared to show gunmen from the Islamist group shooting dozens of men, unarmed and lying prone on the ground.
Captions accompanying the pictures said they showed hundreds of army deserters captured as they tried to flee the fighting. They were shown being transported in the back of trucks, led to an open field, laid down in rows and shot by several masked gunmen. In several pictures, the black ISIS flag can be seen.
Most of the captured men wore civilian clothes, although one picture showed two men in military camouflage trousers, one of them half covered by a pair of ordinary trousers.
"This is the fate of the Shi'ites which Nuri brought to fight the Sunnis," a caption to one of the pictures reads.

Septicemia is a life-threatening infection; where there is bacteria in the blood. This is a form of blood poisoning and the fatality rate is nearly 50%. It is also called a systemic inflammatory response syndrome or SIRS where the whole body is inflamed due to suspected infection. Severe sepsis leads to organ failure. Infections in the lungs, urinary tract or abdomen can lead to sepsis. Other conditions that can lead to septicemia are endocarditis, meningitis and osteomyelitis. Symptoms of sepsis begin with chills, high fever and rapid breathing. The condition worsens rapidly with hypothermia and low blood pressure setting in. There is very low urine output. Blood test for platelet count, CBC, blood gases and PTT are done. CSF culture is also done to diagnose sepsis. Treatment of septicemia involves hospitalization. IV fluids and medications are administered. Plasma is often given when clotting factors are affected. Dialysis and mechanical ventilation might be required to support the kidney and lung function.
Blood clotting occurs due to a complex process of coagulation that heals a bleeding blood vessel with at clot. Blood platelets and plasma protein fibrinogen are vital to the blood clotting process. People can suffer from various blood clotting disorders such as formation of blood clots due to excessive blood clotting. The PT or Prothrombin Time Blood Test is done before any surgery to check a patient's bleeding and clotting factors. PTT or Partial Thromboplastin Time Blood Test checks for a clotting disorder.
Blood clots can form in the heart or legs or brain or even in the lungs. These clots can travel through the blood vessels and hamper the flow of blood. This can lead to damage in the organs. Blood clot in the veins of the arm or legs can lead to DVT or Deep Venous Thrombosis. Pulmonary embolism is a condition where a blood clot travels to the lungs. Blood clots during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage or pre eclampsia.
Bleeding disorders can occur due to severe liver disease. Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder. Bleeding disorders can also be a side effect of medicines.

Stainless steel gate valve: Stainless steel gate valve specifications
Stainless steel gate valve is a pipeline accessory used to open and close the pipeline, control the flow direction, regulate and control the parameters of the conveyed medium (temperature, pressure and flow). It is a control component in the pipeline fluid transfer system, used to change the channel cross-section and media flow direction, with functions such as inflow, cut-off, throttling, check, diversion or overflow pressure relief. The working principle of stainless steel gate valve is not exactly the same, for example, the working principle of ball valve is by rotating the stainless steel gate valve to make the valve open or close. Plug valve working principle: plug valve body rotates around the center line of the valve body to open and close. Its role is to cut off, divide the field, change the direction of media flow. The working principle of check valve: it is a stainless steel gate valve that relies on the force of the fluid itself to open and close automatically, and its function is to prevent the backflow of the medium. In short, the valve can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids, such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, slurry, oil, liquid metal and radioactive media. Stainless steel gate valves are also classified as cast iron valves, cast steel valves, stainless steel gate valves, devices that flow or stop and control their flow. The valve can be controlled by various modes of transmission, such as manual, electric, hydraulic, pneumatic, turbine, electromagnetic, solenoid, hydraulic, electro-hydraulic, gas-hydraulic, spur gear and bevel gear drive. In response to pressure, temperature or other forms of sensing signals, the stainless steel gate valve can act as intended, or simply open or close, independent of the sensing signal. The valve relies on a drive or automatic mechanism to move the opening and closing member up and down, slide, swing or rotate, thus changing the size of its flow path area to achieve its control function.
The working principle of stainless steel gate valve The opening and closing part of the gate valve is the gate, and the direction of movement of the gate is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid. Stainless steel gate valve can only be completely open and closed, but can not regulate or throttle. The gate has two sealing surfaces, and the more commonly used mode gate valve has two sealing surfaces of wedge shape. The wedge angle varies with the stainless steel gate valve parameters, generally 5, and 252' when the medium temperature is not high. The gate of the wedge-shaped gate valve can be made into a whole, called a rigid gate; it can also be made into a gate that can produce slight deformation to improve its craftsmanship and compensate for the deviation of the sealing surface angle during processing. This kind of gate is called resilient gate. When the gate valve is closed, the sealing surface can only be sealed by medium pressure, that is, the sealing surface of the gate valve is pressed on the other side of the seat by medium pressure to ensure the sealing surface, which is self-sealing. Most gate valves are forced to seal, that is, when the stainless steel gate valve is closed, the gate is forced to press against the seat by external force to ensure the sealing of the sealing surface. When the gate valve's gate plate moves in a straight line with the valve stem, it is called a lift stem gate valve, also known as an open stem gate valve. Usually, there are trapezoidal threads on the lift rod, and through the nut on the top of the stainless steel gate valve and the guide groove on the valve body, the rotary motion is changed into a linear motion, i.e., the operating torque is changed into an operating thrust. When the stainless steel gate valve is opened, the fluid passage is completely open when the lift height of the gate is equal to 1: 1 times the size of the stainless steel gate valve, but the position cannot be monitored during operation. In practice, the apex of the valve stem serves as a marker, i.e., the immovable position as its fully open position. In order to consider the locking phenomenon caused by temperature changes, the stainless steel gate valve is usually turned back 1/21 turn in the top position as the stainless steel gate valve fully open position. Therefore, the fully open position of the stainless steel gate valve is determined by the position of the gate, i.e., the stroke. In some gate valves, the stem nut is mounted on the gate and the handwheel rotation drives the stem to rotate, thus lifting the gate. This kind of stainless steel gate valve is called rotary stem gate valve or concealed stem gate valve.

Nationalization is a trend, and there are some localization requirements in some projects. What are your experiences or views on control valve localization? There are actually more localization requirements involved in our work. We require designers to treat imported products and domestic products equally, unless for some special control valve products can not be manufactured in the country recommended the use of foreign brands, generally or domestic brand control valves. For special control valve products, generally in the engineering design, in order to produce a smooth start and operation of the device, the design will generally follow the views of the patent holder to choose a similar device in the use of performance, and in similar devices on the application of good valve products. About localization, now many direct users of the plant, taking into account the convenience of imported valve repair and maintenance, as well as cost factors, will choose some domestic manufacturers to provide inspection and maintenance services for imported valves, but also when the device used in the import control valve problems, in order not to affect production, in the rework waiting process, the use of domestic brand products as an emergency, once the product can cope with this working condition, the use of good Thus also test the reliability of the product, for the future in the same working conditions of the national brand valve application has laid the foundation. Now there are many enterprises that used to do valve maintenance, have accumulated experience in the practical application, the development of the valve production enterprises, to make a contribution to the localization of valves. For domestic valve manufacturers, how to win the trust of the owners is crucial. We now have many projects, are private entrepreneurs to invest in the construction of its cost control requirements are relatively high, the use of localized products in the project also accounts for most. Now many large state-owned enterprises construction projects, have the requirement of localization rate, which also creates a good environment for domestic products to replace imported brands, therefore, domestic enterprises as long as the strengthening of product quality standards requirements, strengthen the internal management of enterprises, continuous technological innovation, to provide good pre-sales and after-sales service, will be able to obtain the trust of the owners, so that the good development of enterprises.

No legal basis in claim VP benefited from anomaly, lawyers argue
Lawyers for Vice President Jejomar Binay on Friday asked the Office of the Ombudsman to set aside its resolution recommending the filing of charges against him.
In a 32-page motion for reconsideration filed on October 19, lawyers Claro Certeza, Maria Patricia Alvarez and Francis Paul Baclay said signing of bidding documents for the Makati City Hall Building 2 was part of Binay’s “ministerial duties” as local chief executive in Makati City at the time.
The lawyers added that there is no factual or legal basis for the complaint claiming that the now Vice President benefited from the allegedly anomalous bidding and construction of the Makati City Hall Building 2.
They argued that the Vice President was not the one who conducted the bidding or recommended the contractor.
“His actions were purely ministerial in nature or part of his work as then mayor of Makati City,” a statement from the Office of the Vice President said.
“It imputes guilt based on the minutest imperfections that could be conceivably found in the bidding process. The questioned resolution ascribes guilt to respondent Binay even if he is not responsible for the bidding process and that he merely signed the BAC [Bids and Awards Committee] resolution and authorized payment/s as part of his ministerial duties,” the lawyers said.
They added that there was no irregularity when the-Mayor Binay approved the BAC resolution for negotiated procurement because he only signed the resolution based on the recommendation of then-City Engineer Nelson Morales and the BAC.
This was part of the procedure and Binay, as mayor, only followed the regular procedure, the statement said.
The lawyers said the Ombudsman’s resolution was based on hindsight even when the Supreme Court ruled that hindsight should not be relied on.
Citing the ruling in Arias vs. Sandiganbayan, they noted Binay “had every right to rely [on]good faith upon the recommendations of his subordinates.”
“All heads of offices have to rely to a reasonable extent on their subordinates and on the good faith of those who prepare bids, purchase supplies or enter into negotiations,” the ruling read.
“There should be other grounds than the mere signature or approval appearing on a voucher to sustain a conspiracy charge and conviction,” it added.
The Ombudsman earlier ordered that charges of graft, malversation and falsification of public documents be filed against Binay, his son Makati Mayor Erwin “Junjun” Binay and 20 Makati City employees.
The Ombudsman also directed that the charges against the younger Binay and others be filed immediately, while the elder Binay will only be charged when his term expires.
But the Vice President’s lawyers said the resolution requires a second look.
The lawyers added that the law requires that an impeachable officer must first be removed from office by impeachment before charges against him can be investigated to determine probable cause.
They said the law does not give the Ombudsman jurisdiction to investigate impeachable officers like the Vice President and to issue a resolution indicting an impeachable officer.
“In proceeding with the investigation and subsequently issuing the questioned resolution, this honorable office clearly violated the Constitution and established jurisprudence on the matter. It acted without jurisdiction,” the lawyers said.
Binay’s right to due process was violated by the Ombudsman when it ignored the objection posed by Binay that the Ombudsman has no jurisdiction over the case as he is an impeachable official, they added.
It was only when the questioned resolution was issued that the Vice President was informed of the Ombudsman’s contrary position that is has jurisdiction and would proceed with the investigation and render a resolution on the charges against him.
“Hence, respondent Binay was deprived of any available remedy to question this honorable office’s position before the proper court,” the lawyers said.
They alleged that the resolution has political pressure because Binay then was about to file his certificate of candidacy (COC) for the presidency.
The Vice President’s camp earlier questioned the timing of the Ombudsman’s resolution, saying it is part of a “perception war.”
The Ombudsman resolution was released to the media three days before the start of the COC filing.
Binay apparently had not yet received a copy of the resolution when Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales disclosed it to media, saying they have found probable cause to charge the Vice President in court, but recommended the filing of charges against him only when his term ends in 2016.

Cisco (www.cisco.com) announced the Industrial Ethernet (IE) 2000 switch series, a cornerstone product for the company’s Connected Industries business unit and industrial network offerings. The Cisco IE2000 industrial switch series will help customers build intelligent networks for industrial automation, delivering highly secure, scalable connectivity from plant floor to enterprise network.
The Cisco IE2000 switch series builds on the company’s enterprise networking expertise and existing Industrial Ethernet family of switches, delivering reliable and highly secure network connectivity to unique manufacturing environments.
According to Cisco’s Visual Networking Index (VNI), by 2016, there will be nearly 2 billion machine-to-machine wireless connections--including GPS systems in cars and asset tracking systems in shipping and manufacturing sectors--demonstrating the need to more tightly connect and integrate devices, machines and vehicles with traditional enterprise networks. The resulting transition, which Cisco refers to as “The Industrialization of the Internet,” will accelerate the networking industry beyond the IT and service provider (SP) networks in industries such as manufacturing and transportation.
The Cisco IE2000 industrial switch series also provides highly secure remote access and monitoring of automated systems and offers intelligent energy management with visibility into machine performance to help customers better manage costs. The IE 2000 industrial switch interoperates corporate and manufacturing floor networks in a cost-effective manner to deliver video and corporate applications to manufacturing plant floor.
In an interview with Automation World, Cisco spokespeople referred to the new Connected Industries business unit that brings products and expertise from various units into one group in order to provide an integrated value add.
Maciej Kranz, vice president and general manager, Connected Industries business unit, Cisco, also said, “Major sectors of the economy are undergoing a transformation driven by new requirements around production and factory automation, traffic management, data analytics and machine-to-machine communication. Cisco’s Connected Industries business unit was created to help customers realize the benefits of the transition to Ethernet and IP across the operational technology segments including manufacturing plants, transportation infrastructure and vehicles.”


TRI-CITIES, Tenn. (WJHL) — An ongoing News Channel 11 consumer investigation continues to bring answers to frustrated customers.
Our previous reports found that a formerly Johnson City-based contracting company called Wood Construction and Remodeling, LLC is accused by at least 47 Tennessee customers of taking thousands of dollars for home repair projects and leaving them unfinished.
In a new development, The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is actively investigating the company for allegations of theft by multiple customers across Northeast Tennessee.
At this time Wood Construction’s website says “business closed” and their Johnson City headquarters is no longer open.
But despite this, legal troubles continue for the company. This comes as owner Leighton “Joe” Wood’s Tennessee licensing contract was temporarily suspended last month.
Many customers of the company say they have heard nothing about their projects for months.
“We paid Wood $43,000. A little over $43,000,” said customer Kristen Holzer of Elizabethton.
Now, as dozens of families like the Holzers seek repayment for their abandoned projects, possible criminal charges for Wood are now on the table because of the recent involvement of local district attorney offices.
“I found out about the allegations from a news report you all covered,” District Attorney General Barry Staubus of Sullivan County said of News Channel 11’s first investigative report. “Also, we received some complaints from citizens of Sullivan County.”
Staubus says he and District Attorney General Ken Baldwin of Northeast Tennessee’s First Judicial District requested the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation get involved to look into these allegations that span multiple counties.
District Attorney General Dan Armstrong of Northeast Tennessee’s Third Judicial District confirmed to News Channel 11 Friday his jurisdiction is also involved in the scope of TBI’s investigation.
The TBI confirmed that at the request of Baldwin and Staubus they are actively investigating the allegations being made by dozens of Tennessee customers. The next step – the district attorneys would be responsible for filing any potential criminal charges against Joe Wood.
“When the investigation is complete we will review the report, evaluate and determine the charges,” said Staubus.
Staubus told News Channel 11 the scope of these allegations across so many jurisdictions is unusual.
“I’ve never seen it as widespread as this particular case,” said Staubus.
Kristen Holzer and her husband contracted Wood Construction in March of 2021 for a home addition. The project sits abandoned now eight months later after Holzer says Wood Construction crews started working on her project, destroyed her septic tank and left.
“Its a long time coming. It’s way overdue,” said Holzer.
Law enforcement being involved means Holzer can breathe a sigh of relief.
“It’s definitely a step in the direction we are wanting to head. Hopefully we get our money back and we can start this process again. We are just thrilled we have other people on our side, going through this with us, the DA the TBI that’s gonna fight for us,” Holzer said.
She says for her and other victims out thousands of dollars to Wood Construction, they want one thing.
“He needs theft charges on him and he needs to be put in jail,” said Holzer.
Attorneys for Joe Wood released a statement to News Channel 11 in response to the TBI’s investigation. It reads:
“At this time, we are aware that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is involved regarding the complaints filed with the Attorney General’s office against Wood Constriction and Remodeling, LLC. We will continue to cooperate with all state authorities and agencies but will issue no additional statement at this time. We encourage the public not to rush to judgment and remain committed to working with customers to resolve outstanding complaints. “Attorneys Christopher Rogers, Jason Arthur
Joe Wood is set to appear for a licensing hearing before the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors and the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance on Tuesday, Nov. 30 in Nashville.
“The state board will review evidence at the hearing and decide if Wood’s license should be reinstated or revoked,” said Kevin Walters, spokesperson for TDCI.
The purpose of the November 30 hearing will only be reviewing the determination to suspend Joe Wood’s license. Assuming the suspension remains in place, an additional hearing will be set in the future. The board will not be deciding on license revocation on November 30.

Barack Obama: Putting faith out front
How the Illinois senator came to embrace religion in his life.
On a recent Sunday, the magnetic pastor who led Barack Obama to Christianity was at his usual perch on the dais here, a South Side megachurch where a plaque beneath stained-glass depictions of the African-American struggle reads "Unashamedly Black, Unapologetically Christian."
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., in a casual short-sleeve shirt, preached about Martha as a "single saint," urging unmarried women to draw self-esteem from faith rather than men. He took blacks to task for what he said was their silence on domestic violence, homophobia, and the "illegal, untested, insane war in Iraq, started by a C-student draft dodger."
And in honor of National HIV Testing Day, he alerted his flock to mouth-swab tests being offered in the church building after services. "You can get results in 20 minutes – free and confidential," he said. Then he led more than a thousand worshipers, and a 200-member choir in traditional African dress, in a hymn to the Lord.
It was at Trinity United Church of Christ here, in the late 1980s, that Senator Obama says he found religion. Raised in a secular household, with ancestral roots running from Islam to Baptist to atheist, Obama had grown up a skeptic. But Mr. Wright's blend of scripture and social action resonated with Obama, then a young community organizer in black neighborhoods ravaged by steel-mill closings.
And when Wright preached one Sunday about the sustaining power of hope in the face of poverty and despair, Obama says he found himself in tears.
"The questions I had did not magically disappear," Obama wrote in his recent book, titled "The Audacity of Hope" after Wright's turn of phrase, of the day four years later when he made a formal commitment of Christian faith. "But kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side of Chicago, I felt God's spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself to His will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth."

According to the Athletic’s David Ornstein (subscription required), Arsenal are ‘working on three to four deals’ in the January transfer window.
This statement is sure to get Arsenal fans excited, but Ornstein has reiterated that the Gunners aren’t planning on ‘significant expenditure’ at this mid-season point.
The Athletic’s report highlights that the north London outfit will instead be focused on eyeing loan moves, free transfers or signings for ‘small fees’.
Ornstein claims that Arsenal have targeted full-back, central defence and central midfield as potential areas for strengthening this month.
Read More: With Nketiah now staying at Arsenal, should he play against Sheffield United?
Given Arsenal’s spending last summer, this strategy seems wise, it also ensures that the club won’t pay the big bucks for players that could fall into a less important role once some stars return from injury.
Mikel Arteta currently has an injury crisis on his hands, the Gunners are without Hector Bellerin, Calum Chambers, Sead Kolasinac and Kieran Tierney.
The likes of Bellerin, Chambers and Tierney are all potential stars for the future, so it would possibly hinder their development if we were to sign high-cost players for the first-team at this moment in time.
Which potentially bargain transfers should the Gunners explore this month?
I really can’t belive you said , it will hinder potential futures stars who are nurshing injuries, well i will forgive your statement over that because, like you said this is not summer so they can get those to fill up the position but arsenal need to invest heavily come summer so we can compete ..At least 250million will be a bench mark…Spend the money if it borrow or sell do any to get this club going.
So what ornstein is saying we want to bring players in who are not first team material but can stand in until the first choice comes back. Mmmmm, i am not sure i buy into that, im not sure about a player who comes knowing that either.
“According to the Athletic’s David Ornstein (subscription required), Arsenal are ‘working on three to four deals’ in the January transfer window. This statement is sure to get Arsenal fans excited, but Ornstein has reiterated that the Gunners aren’t planning on ‘significant expenditure’ at this mid-season point.”
My once great team are looking to get second rate players for no money and become great. Illusory fantasy that cannot work. No one can by the best things in the Pound Shop. The real truth is Arsenal are loved by the supporters, clearly Arteta, and maybe Edu. The whole ownership, board and management structure is like a ‘Brian Rix’ farce. Sadly for Arsenal magic does not exist. I so want Arteta to succeed, he is really eloquent, assertive and energetically young, but he will be let down by the clowns above him. Impeach Kroenke would be better for us. How can those people own 5 diluted clubs? They should be kicked out.
So it sounds like the club is bringing in possible deadwood to band-aid our injury crisis, and then we’re stuck with that same deadwood going forward. I swear this club never seems to learn. Rather than spend 40-50 million on a proper CB the club wastes 35 million on Mustafi, 18 million on Sokratis, and 8 million on Luiz.
Basically a one time 50 million top CB transfer is frowned upon, but wasting 61 million total on 3 subpar CB’s seems wise and/or prudent?
Let’s hope it’s Miki, Ozil, Xhaka, and Mustafi gone then! That’s four deals I’d love to see go through asap!
@thirdman, You want to sell three players when you are not sure of getting their replacements the same way Emry sold four first team players last season Ramsey, Montreal, iwobi and Mikki last summer and he surfer for it
They are all extremely easy to replace, and it wouldn’t cost a lot. I don’t expect much to be done this month, but certainly by next season, I would like to think we can dump this deadwood.
Mustafi – Barely plays for us anymore, and is terrible when he does. He is a poor squad player now, and could easily be replaced with a cheap defender from the Championship, or from our reserve/youth team.
Ozil – Literally offers nothing! Signing a player for any fee, from any division, is an upgrade on nothingness. Could easily dip into our reserve/youth team.
Miki – Massive flop, not even at the club currently. Again, easily replaced with a cheap midfielder from the Championship, or from our reserve/youth team.
Xhaka – One of the worst midfielders I have seen at Arsenal, and has never had a good season for us. Easily replaced, but his departure could possibly destabilize our midfield in the short-term, as he has formed a decent partnership with Torreira.
In regards to the others you have mentioned: Ramsey’s departure was largely the fault of the previous regime. Monreal needed replacing, and has been with Tierney (when he’s fit), Iwobi has been upgraded with Pepe, and Miki never did anything anyway. The only one we haven’t replaced is Ramsey, but that’s because we cannot get rid of Ozil (another problem the previous regime left us).
Sir, every word written is the absolute truth. And those gone are not doing anything great at their new clubs either so Ems was right.And we have forgotten Elneny.
Oh Jesus still comparing apples and oranges … Ramsey was a second rate box to box player who Was favored by our aging manager as football dementia set in and is now struggling to start A game with juventus … Ozil is an overpaid quality playmaker who struggles without quality players around him … the problem is that none of the youngsters we have who might replace aging players is up to the mark with possible exception of martinelli
The ownership destroyed us, and they could care less. 100% agree about buying second rate people you get what you pay for. Sell the team for the good of this club, the worst pillager,money grubbing greedy non caretaker of our storied history and brand. Get out.
Maybe people should stick to what they’re good at, rather than attempt to teach those who know a thing or two about what they do for a living.
Most fans live in a FANtasy world. I suspect that is why they call us fans. The job of running a club, especially a big club like Arsenal, is hardly a walk in the park as some would like us to believe.
It is easy to sit in the comfort of your home and put your FANtasy world and virtual reality into words. The real world of business and transfer of players (good/great ones) whose contracts are owned by another club, is hardly that as simple as some of us think.
Replacing players, like we have to, in the midst of a season, because of injuries, is a nightmare no coach wants to have to do. Arteta has a lot on his plate trying to juggle all the moving parts of the club without dropping the ball.
Some of us have only ONE solution for the kind of scenario the poor man is facing now: buy and sell players. End of story.
No consideration for the ripple effects on the entirety of the club, the careers of individual players, club finances, the immediate and long-term future of the organisation and many other factors too complex to mention.
There are so.many things we fans do not see or know about the club we love and yet we pass EASY judgement on those who live daily with these difficult choice and have to make calls that are nail-biting.
Let’s show a bit of respect in the way we take easy shots with our comments on the hierarchy of the club. Especially when it comes to transfers and players. It is the least we can do.
We heard the same before the summer, everyone said we had ..can’t remember the number but it was low. They were wrong and we were buzzing after the summer, don’t know if this is the same thing. After the summer AFC said that we never said a number, the media totally came up with that themselves. And Ornstein was one of them.
3 or 4 players when everything we’ve been hearing is how we don’t like this window and how the summer window is the important one. I can’t see us bringing in 4 squad players like above comments seem to think, and I don’t see us spending decent money on more than one player.
If we sell Mustafi, then I can see us signing one player for a decent price, and maybe one loan or tiny fee signing along with him. Maybe even without Mustafi’s sale we could still do this. Kurzawa, if the links/talks are true, he would be a small fee player. Then at most I’d guess at one more player.
Surely the signs are there that we may finally be on the right track for a change, while Unai Emery may go down in history with the unenviable title of Arsenal’s worst manager of our time, Arsene Wenger and his cohorts did not do well in not planning an adequate succession to the professor before he left, what happened at Manchester uUnited would have been enough eye opener for them to have learnt from.
However, it is all hands on deck; everybody that has “The Arsenal blood” its “OPERATION BACK TO BASICS; BACK TO WHERE WE BELONG” Going forward, I believe that is what Coach Mikel Arteta is peaching and surely “WE MUST LISTEN”
Giving Mustafi another chance may be a fair gamble after all HALF A LOAF IS BETTER THAN NONE. He is a good humble guy who is just unfortunate; lest we forget, he is a World Cup winner and truth be told he does well sometimes, let’s hope that he performs all the time he is called upon to and not sometimes after all it is a mind-set thing, confidence barrier that he has to break and with Mikel, he may have finally found salvation.
I am a very strong believer in Mikel Arteta and will always support his decisions because he does not just make them for the sake of it, he analyses and judges from what he sees before him…
Honestly, Arsenal should look at signing Thomas Party.

OSM should show the correct name, which is the one on the sign.
Not:name is there to suppress the error and to indicate a mapper has surveyed it and shown the OS are incorrect.
From my experience OSM is usually correct, the biggest cause of error is OS getting apostrophes wrong, and if OSM is wrong it is usually a weird spelling where the mapper has remembered the name but has forgotten how it was spelt.

Oscar-winning musician A.R. Rahman was May 5 conferred with his first American honorary doctorate by Miami University’s 173rd annual commencement ceremony held at Yager Stadium here.
For the first time, Miami University streamed the commencement ceremony live on the Web, making it viewable worldwide.
It is Rahman’s fourth doctorate, since he was previously honored by Aligarh Muslim University, Anna University and Middlesex University in the UK.
The music composer said he was “extremely thankful” as he addressed a gathering of over 15,000 students. “I wish to thank a few people who have made a significant impact in my life: My father and mother have anchored me with good values; then Mani Ratnam, who is India’s noted filmmaker, gave me my first break in the world of cinema in the film ‘Roja,’” Rahman said in his address.
“My Sufi teachers opened my consciousness and helped me discover myself. People from all around India have embraced me and my music without any discrimination and today, I find the same spirit of acceptance in Hollywood.”
Rahman has been associated with the university for past 10 years and he had also assisted them in the creation of his KM Music Conservatory in Chennai.
Rahman is the winner of two Oscars, two Grammys, a Golden Globe and the BAFTA award for his music in “Slumdog Millionaire.”

Eagles Activate Jalen Mills, Ready to Start Tonight vs Dallas
The Philadelphia Eagles officially activated cornerback Jalen Mills to the 53-man roster on Saturday, meaning he will be ready to play and start tonight against the Dallas Cowboys.
Mills missed the first six games of the Eagles’ 2019 campaign after going down in Week 8 last season with a foot injury, he hasn't played a game in almost a full calendar year.
He, along with Ronald Darby, will be returning to help a banged-up secondary that has been one of the league’s worst, and forced to play a variety of different players with all the injuries.
"I would anticipate that both of them would get a lot more time moving forward," Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said this week.
But perhaps the most glaring metrics are the number of big passing touchdowns Philadelphia has allowed this season. Through six games, the Eagles have allowed 13 touchdown passes (28th in the league), five of which have been 40-plus yards, which is the most in the NFL this season.
The Eagles have allowed 280.2 passing yards per game this year (No. 29 in the NFL). Their 1,681 passing yards given up through six games, is the most since 2013 when they gave up 1,887 passing yards in their first six games.
Mills, 25, has accumulated three interceptions and 30 passes defensed in his 39 games for Philadelphia, 25 of which have been starts. Joining him in the starting lineup will be Darby, who has struggled with injuries since coming over in a trade with Buffalo.

Get Ready to Purge with High Tension in June
The new music news continues and now we’ve heard about one of the most anticipated albums of the year, High Tension‘s third release Purge has it’s release date and a new offering from it is here.
Purge will land in your ears on June 15th via Cooking Vinyl Australia and frontwoman Karina Utomo strictly explains as time goes by, the band aren’t getting soft any time soon:
“This was always the direction we were heading into.”
Especially with the welcoming of new members (guitarist and songwriter) Mike Deslandes and (drummer) Lauren Hammel who made their way into the band after the release of 2015’s acclaimed album Bully.
“It was inevitable that we were going to produce a record unlike our previous work; with Lauren and Mike joining the band, our natural response was to reshape our sound.”
The album’s theme focuses on the anti-communist purge in Indonesia in 1965 and 1966, when hundreds of thousands of members of the communist party were slaughtered by the military and Muslim groups under the orders of General Suharto just prior to his seizing power of the country, something Karina has briefly mentioned in the past but not in this extensive detail:
“In the past I’ve touched on that theme, but on this album it’s referenced more tirelessly”.
Pre-Orders for Purge can be made right here
