Figure 3-26. - Diametric order of tightening flange bolts.
CUTTING.-When cutting plastic pipe, use either a fine-toothed hacksaw, circular saw, band saw, or reciprocating saw with carbide-tipped blades. Pipe and tube cutters can be used when adapted with a deeper cutting blade made for cutting plastic pipe. DO NOT USE a tubing cutter. The cutting wheel will not cut deep enough, and the outside diameter (OD) of the pipe will become larger. Use a miter box or hold-down rig to help cut the pipe square. Remove all burrs and chips from both the inside diameter (ID) and outside diameter (OD) of the pipe. The end of the pipe should be beveled to approximately 1/16 inch to 3/32 inch at a 10-degree to 15-degree angle. This minimizes the wiping of solvent from the ID of the fitting, as the pipe is put into the socket. You can bevel the end of the pipe with a coarse file or special beveling tool.
FITTINGS. - Plastic flanges and flange fittings (fig. 3-25) are available in a full range of sizes and may be attached to the pipe. Soft rubber gaskets are preferred with plastic flanges. When tightening flange bolts, pull them down gradually to a uniform tightness and in a diametrical manner, as shown in figure 3-26.
JOINING. - There are four methods of joining plastic pipe: solvent welding, fusion welding, fillet welding, and threading. Before solvent welding PVC and CPVC plastic pipe, clean the pipe and fittings, as shown in view B, figure 3-27. Use a clean, dry cloth and wipe away all loose dirt and moisture from inside the fitting and from the outside of the plastic pipe. Ensure the fittings and the pipe are of the same temperature for at least an hour before welding; this will assure they are thermally balanced. With a bristle brush, apply a coating of primer to the outside of the pipe. This removes surface gloss and etches the pipe.

I'm very picky when it comes to which Doctor Who books I buy and read. I'm not a fan of all the Doctors, nor am I a fan of all of his companions. But there are particular ones I especially like.
Donna Noble - I have every book and every audio book with her as the 10th Doctor's companion; she is by far my all-time favorite companion and always will be
Rory Williams - while I never liked Amy Pond, and I did learn to accept Matt Smith, it was Rory Williams, as one of the 11th Doctor's companions, that prompted me to buy the books with him in them
And then there's the 12th Doctor - Peter Capaldi. While I can't stand Clara Oswald as a companion (and am thankful she is gone in the television show), I do love Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. He's a breath of fresh air after three relatively young Doctors, and his fierce, cantankerous nature is somewhat reminiscent of the very 1st Doctor, William Hartnell. He's enjoyable to watch, and he's just as enjoyable to read.
Enter the Doctor and Clara, who the Duke mistakenly believes is an Ambassador, and later, a Holy Man...
Then, enter Emfil, an alien collector searching for the mysterious Glamour, who the Duke mistakenly believes is also an Ambassador...
Then, enter Sir Lancelot and his knights, who are searching for the Holy Grail, and who the Duke mistakenly becomes enamored by and willingly bestows his own army of knights to aid this fabled quest...
Not everyone is who they seem to be, and not all of the good guys are as good as they appear (nor are all the bad guys as bad as they appear). The Doctor knows Sir Lancelot is a fictional character, so who is he, really? Clara knows the Duchess is conspiring behind the Duke's back to seek peace for her kingdom, but is there more to it than that? The Doctor knows there is more behind these electric lights and laser swords and bejeweled trinkets that fill the city, but what is their purpose?
While the plot is teemed with war and traitors and conspiracies, it remains lighthearted with the usual banter so excellently written between the Doctor and Clara, and even the alien collector is fleshed out fully so as to make him interesting and fun to read. As with most of the prior books I've read, it really felt like a good episode of the television show, and when I was finished, I was more than satisfied.
RATING: 10 glamorous trinkets out of 10 for keeping the feel of the show in the written word!

It’s 15th August 1969 and Buddy, as played by Jude Hill, is fighting imaginary dragons with a wooden sword and a dustbin lid. However, outside there are far scarier things than dragons when a group of Protestants attack Catholic homes in Buddy’s street.
... "Go. Go now and don’t look back."
Firebombed cars burst into black and white flames and director Kenneth Branagh quickly sets out Belfast‘s stall in velvet textures of monochrome imagery. This doesn’t mean per se that Belfast is a movie full of rose-tinted reverie and but neither is it hard-as-nails realistic either. If anything, it’s a fond memory of what was lost. Seen through the soft focus of a childhood memory, Buddy laments the friendship and sense of shared community that has been snatched away. And in a way, that’s fair, as it would be near impossible to capture all the seeds of division that would be sown in the following years.
Story-wise, Jamie Dornan as Buddy’s father will commendably have no truck with the sectarians looking to purge their community of Catholic families. All of which makes an impression on Buddy’s fragile, formative mind. However, in amongst all the rage and uncertainty, cinema, as seen in full-blown Technicolor, is a place of wonder and refuge. Similarly restorative are the performances of Ciaran Hinds and Judi Dench as Buddy’s grandparents. Whilst TV and radio broadcasts mark out the deteriorating paranoia and sectarianism, both of these two acting stalwarts help Buddy with his amorous longing for the smartest girl in school.
Yet, the real dark end of the street that threatens the bright side of their road, is the kids’ future. What kind of life can Buddy’s parents as played by Jamie Dornan and (an excellent) Caitriona Balfe offer their family? Torn between leaving and staying, Caitríona Balfe‘s performance as Buddy’s mother becomes central to the film’s themes.
In the end, as a love letter folded into the frames of a film, Kenneth Branagh has managed to ask many tough questions whilst avoiding any trite responses either. If anything Belfast is a film about history and a sense of welcoming community that was snatched away by fear and resentment.
Should you see Belfast? I’ll leave it to Judi Dench: “Go. Go now and don’t look back.”

If you are looking for a way to eliminate pain so you can return to normal activities with an improved quality of life, it may be time to consider spinal cord neurostimulation. At Marion Pain Management Center, we offer this advanced pain management technique to the residents of Marion County, Ocala and The Villages, FL.
What is Spinal Cord Neurostimulation?
Spinal cord neurostimulation is a pain management technique that is implanted into the body, and then delivers low-level electrical signals to block nerve signals. This reduces pain that is related to nerve damage, injury and other conditions, allowing the patient to return to a more normal life.
What is Spinal Cord Neurostimulation used to Treat?
Spinal cord neurostimulation can be used to treat a variety of conditions, but is most often used when other treatment methods have failed. If you are not able to achieve the desired relief with other treatments, or have failed to achieve results through surgery, you may be a good candidate for spinal cord neurostimulation.
How is Spinal Cord Neurostimulation Performed?
Spinal cord neurostimulation devices are implanted into the body near the spinal cord in the lower back. During the implantation procedure, we will make a small incision to insert the device. For this process, anesthesia will be used to keep patients comfortable throughout the procedure. After being implanted, the patient can adjust the intensity of the electrical signals to a level that is comfortable to them in order to achieve optimal relief.
What Kind of Results Can I Expect from Spinal Cord Neurostimulation?
Spinal cord neurostimulation provides long-lasting relief, as it is implanted into the body for permanent use. However, the device can be turned off and/or removed at any time. You may need to take a few days off of strenuous activities after the implantation procedure to ensure that the body heals properly.
If you have not been able to find relief with other pain management techniques, you may want to try spinal cord neurostimulation at Marion Pain Management Center. Contact us today to learn more about this treatment or schedule your initial appointment. We welcome patients from Gainesville, The Villages, Ocala, and the surrounding cities of Florida.

data is transmitted in digitally encoded form and comprises blocks of
eight bits of data separated by gaps in transmission of equivalent length.
Each data block consists of a start bit followed by seven bits of data for
channel identification. Data is presented to the microprocessor on one

ATT plans to provide “very aggressive” pricing for its FirstNet subscription packages, and the carrier has pledged $18 billion to ensure that the nationwide public-safety broadband network (NPSBN) receives regular technological and coverage upgrades during the 25-year contract period, according to officials for AT&T and FirstNet.
Walt Magnussen, director of the Texas A&M University Internet2 Technology Evaluation Center (ITEC), talks about the fifth annual Canada-United States Enhanced Resiliency Experiment (CAUSE V) that is scheduled for November along the U.S.-Canada border near Washington state.

Addressing cybersecurity vulnerabilities should be a priority for the new administration, but the rapidly-changing cyber environment makes it difficult to assess blame for foreign-led cyberthreats and take actions that will deter future attacks, intelligence leaders and senators said today during a committee hearing on the subject.
Despite efforts to improve the ability of the U.S. government to be able to communicate with Americans traveling abroad, the chances of success are haphazard, at best—a situation that could result in the unnecessary loss of American lives. Technology offers a way to increase significantly the chance for the U.S. government to provide important emergency information to these Americans on foreign soil.
Rivada Networks files suit in a Mexican federal court in an attempt to have its Red Compartida bid—a proposal to build and operate a nationwide 700 MHz wholesale LTE network in Mexico—evaluated after Mexico’s government disqualified Rivada for failing to provide a bid bond for the project by the bid deadline, according to a company spokesman.
FirstNet will not cut procedural corners or accept unnecessary delays as it enters the final stages of the procurement to select a contractor that will be tasked to build and maintain a nationwide public-safety broadband network (NPSBN) for the next 25 years, FirstNet CEO Mike Poth said yesterday.
Just two weeks before FirstNet’s target date of Nov. 1 to announce the winning contractor, pdvWireless disclosed that its bidding team is no longer in contention. A review of federal procurement rules reveals that the notification also may indicate that Nov. 1 is not a realistic date to unveil the contractor—and that’s OK, as long as the procurement is executed properly.

I have an old 2501 router (IOS 11.3(11b)T5) which I want to use as an NTP server (it is not used for anything else). I configure two external NTP servers, no problem. CPU utilization is around 5-8%. I then configure "ntp broadcast" on interface e0, and within seconds, CPU utilization is 98%, and the NTP process shows 40%+. If I disable NTP completely, CPU utilization goes back down to a 5% right away. I tried this on another router, and got exactly the same result. This is the only site at which I have seen this. Any ideas on what could be going on on my network which would cause this behavior?

Albert Brooks was the last actor to be offered the role of Harry. In an interview with Playboy magazine, he stated that he received a nice letter from Woody Allen offering him the role. Brooks responded, "It was insane that Allen didn't do it himself." Apparently, Woody took his advice.
The film is similar to 8½ (1963), in that it is about an artist struggling with his current relationships and remembering his old ones, interspersed with dream sequences, as well as his work being based on events from his life.
The film is a general reworking of Woody Allen's earlier film Stardust Memories (1980), which also had an artist go to a ceremony in his honor, while reminiscing over past relationships and trying to fix and stabilize current ones.

MIDDLE EAST: The Arab viewpoint
I did not grow up in the US, and am out of sync with its racial complexes, which I study with perplexity. I have had a long conversation with an American intellectual of Arab origin whom I have known for a long time and for whom I have the greatest respect. I have never seen him so bitter. He travels regularly to the Middle East, and he reports that because Washington bends to U.S. Zionist support for Israel's hard-line policy, the US is hated throughout the Arab world. He described how that lobby has tried to undermine his work. I have no reason to doubt his word. Joel Beinin, a Jew who teaches Middle East history at Stanford and tries hard to be fair, has reported similar experiences.
U.S. News and World Report (8/13/01) has an article about the cross, supposedly from Bury St. Edmunds, England, which is the centerpiece of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's medieval art collection. Former Curator Thomas Hoving has written a very controversial book charging that it contains anti-Jewish symbols. He said "Sure, I wanted to suppress it. I mean, it's New York, it's a Jewish town, we had Jewish sponsors. I kept a lot of stuff quiet".
I wonder how well the US understands the Middle East. When Truman pushed the recognition of Israel, it was easy to foresee the present situation, which could easily lead to a more general war. When the US wanted to support the forces fighting the Communist government of Afghanistan, it armed Muslim fanatics from places like Saudi Arabia and called them Freedom Fighters. Then it is angry because these "Afghans", as they are called, become a major terrorist force against the United States. As usual, we do not know if the "Freedom Fighters" description was put out as a public relations ploy or what arguments had taken place within the government. We shall have a better understanding when the documents are released.
In any case, it all leaves me bewildered, my habitual condition.

Friday preview: US inflation data, China factory PMI in the spotlight
Investors' attention at the end of the week will be on personal income and spending figures in the US, which will arrive alongside a final reading for consumer confidence also covering last month.
Worth noting, both reports will contain important inflation indicators.
The former is expected to show that incomes and spending continued at a solid pace, albeit slower.
So too nevertheless, the year-on-year rate of increase for the price deflator for personal consumption expenditures, excluding food and energy, is expected to have picked up from 4.6% for July to 4.8% in August.
The University of Michigan meanwhile is expected to confirm that its closely followed consumer sentiment index improved from 58.2 in August to 59.5.
Yet it is likely that what will draw the most attention are the subindices contained in the same report tracking inflation expectations one and five years out.
Against that backdrop, overnight, survey compiler Caixin will publish its manufacturing sector Purchasing Managers' Index for September (Barclays Research: 49.5).
And the Reserve Bank of India is expected to announce a 50 basis point hike in its repurchase rate taking it to 5.90%.
In Japan, investors will be digesting reports on unemployment and industrial production covering the month of August.
On home shores, at 0700 BST, the Office for National Statistics will publish a final reading for second quarter gross domestic product.
It is expected to confirm that UK GDP grew at a year-on-year pace of 2.9% over the three months ending in June.
Across the Channel, at 0855 BST, Germany's Federal Labor Agency will release unemployment data for September.
That will be followed by preliminary figures for euro area consumer prices in September (consensus: 9.7% year-on-year).

Sleep Apnea Affects Millions and They Don’t Even Know It
Sleep apnea is a condition that affects more than 18 million American adults, stopping their breathing while they sleep and preventing oxygen from getting to the brain. Many of those who suffer from sleep apnea do not know they are affected since many of the symptoms only present themselves while the person is asleep. Also known as obstructive sleep apnea, the condition occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat relax and block the open airway, which prevents breathing and oftentimes causes snoring. This causes disruptive sleep patterns, leading to drowsiness, changes in mood and potentially the development of heart disease. The Smile Centre offers several treatments for sleep apnea so you can get the rest you need and stay healthy.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
- Loud, constant snoring
- Frequently waking up during sleep
- Drowsiness during the day
- Morning headaches
- Changes in mood or forgetfulness
Risk Factors of Sleep Apnea
- Overweight or large neck size
- Small upper airway or large tongue
- Smoking and alcohol usage
- Over the age of 40
- Family history of sleep apnea
Dental Appliances Readjust Your Bite
If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. Many times, a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine is prescribed. This device is worn over the nose while you sleep and forces air down your airway to keep it open. Some patients are CPAP intolerant however, and require other forms of treatment, often a dental appliance such as SomnoMed® or SilentNite®. These dental appliances are customized to fit your mouth specifically and gently reposition your jaw to prevent the airway from becoming blocked. These types of appliances are also commonly used for cases of TMJ disorder as the two conditions can often be linked due to improper positioning of the jaw. If you also suffer from TMJ disorder, we may be able to help both conditions by repositioning your jaw and bite with orthodontics.
Let Us Help You Sleep Well at Night
If you think you may suffer from sleep apnea, or your partner has mentioned your constant snoring, seeking help at The Smile Centre can not only improve your overall sleep, but help prevent further medical conditions from developing. Our sleep appliances are custom fitted to provide comfort and allow you to get the good nights rest you deserve. With our multi-disciplinary approach, we are able to identify and treat many different conditions, often at the same time, to provide a convenient experience for you.

Preventive effect of silicone oil(SO)on the thermal deterioration of various frying oils was tested under the conditions of simulated deep-fat frying(SDFC)and of thermal oxidation(TTHC or THOC). Under the TTHC or the THOC, the effect differed obviously among the lot of oils. On the other hand, a considerable effect on all oils was observed under the SDFC. On the minimum effective concentration, it required at least 1 ppm under the SDFC, while 0.1ppm was enough under the TTHC. Atrace of SO in the oils was measured by the graphite furnace-atomic absorption spectrophotometric method after concentration by means of low temperature separation. As a results, it was observed that the effect of SO under the THOC was not appeared any more in the oils which contains a trace of SO as small as 0.05 or 0.07ppm.
The influence of cultural conditions, especially C/N ratio of medium, growth temperature and nitrogen source, on the amounts of lipids formed from, glucose in the mycelium of two strains(IFO 7884 and 7824) of Mortierella isabellina was investigated. It was found that the contents of lipids in the mycelium of the strains increased with increasing C/N ratio. The highest content(83.5%) of lipids was obtained at a C/N ratio of 343 at 20°C by the strain when NH4NO3 was used as a nitrogen source. The maximum accumulation of lipids, 1.68g/400ml medium, occurred at a C/N ratio of 11.4at 20°C by using (NH4)2SO4. Ammonium nitrate was the best source of nitrogen for production of lipid by these strains. In this case, the totol intracellular lipids produced was 14.0g/100g of glucose. The fatty acid compositions of neutral and polar lipid fractions fractionated from lipid extracts by silicic acid column chromatography and the lipid compositions of both fractions were determined. The influence of the cultural conditions on these compositions was also investigated.
The influence of cultural conditions, especially C/N ratio of medium, growth temperature and nitrogen source, on the amounts of sterols and squalene farmed from glucose in the mycelium of two strains of Mortierella isabellina(IFO 7884, IFO 7824) was investigated. The contents of sterols in the mycelium of the strains varied between 0.20.8% of the dry cell weight by cultural conditions. The greatest amount of sterols, 43.1mg/400ml medium, was observed in M.isabellina IFO 7884 grown at a C/N ratio of 11.4at 30°C by using urea as a nitrogen source. The greatest amount of squalene, 5.9mg/400 ml medium, was obtained at a C/N ratio of 11.4 at 3O°Cin M. isabellina IFO 7884 by using ammonium sulfate as a nitrogen source. The influence of the cultural conditions on the qualitative and quantitative compositions of sterols, was investigated. Ergosterol, ergosta-5, 7-dienol, and 24-methylenedihydrolanosterol were major sterols in the strains.
N-alkylpyridinium-3-carboxylate (3) and N-alkylpyridinium-4-carboxylate (6), where alkyl groups are n-C8H17, n-C10H21, and n-C12H25, were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by IR and NMR spectra. Krafft point (Kp), critical micelle concentration (cmc), area/molecule at air/water interface, dye solubilizatian, and catalitic activity on the reaction of octyl bromide with saturated aqueous potassium iodide were determined for (3) and (6). The Kp of (3) was much lower than that of (6), and the cmc of (3) was slightly higher than that of (6). The relation between the logarithm of cmc and the number(n) of carbon atons in the alkyl chain of (3) was as follows; log cmc=-0.50n+3.20 by surface tension at 30°C. The slope of log cmc plotted against(n) was nearly equal to that obtained for other amphoteric surfactants such as alkylthiobetaine and N-alkylbetaine. The area/molecule of (3) was quite equal to that of (6), and the solubilizing power of (3) for orange OT was slightly lower than that of (6). The catalitic efficiency of (3) and (6) were fairly good and increased with the increasing alkyl chain length.
Fate of linear alkylbenzene [14C] sulfonates (LAS-Ca, LAS-Na) were investigated in two kinds of soil under upland condition in a biometric flask and 14C-LAS-Ca showed as same fate as 14C-LAS-Na. Although there was a remarkable difference in the amount of unextractable residue between tested soils, the patterns of 14CO2 evolution were similar, reaching 3045% of the applied 14C at 60d after treatment. It was cleared that the benzene ring of LAS was inorganized in unsatured soils. Nomovements of 14C-LAS-Ca and 14C-LAS-Na in peanuts were recognized even at 30d after foliar application.
Phase behavior of water-oil systems containing mixed nonionic surfactant or commercial surfactants, such as nonylphenylpoly (oxyethylene) ether, Tween 20 has been studied. In these systems, a three-phase region consisted of a water, a surfactant and an oil phases moves toward higher temperature with the decrease in a surfactant content. Accordingly, O/W-type emulsion can be inverted by not only the rise in temperature but increasing the surfactant content. The effect of added ionic surfactant on the phase behavior of a nonionic surfactant/water/oil system has been also studied. The three-phase region moves toward higher temperature and diminishes by adding a small amount of ionic surfactant to a nonionic surfactant/water/oil system. Moreover, the solubilization of water and oil in a surfactant phase is abruptly increased.
The surface tension of aqueous solutions of mixed surfactant system was measured;sodium 3, 6, 9-trioxaicosanoate(ECL) -hexadecyl poly (oxyethylene) ether (POE), and ECL-sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). In the case of ECL-POE system, the surface tension was considerably changed with increasing molar fraction of ECL at a given concentration above the cmc. However, in the case of ECL-SDS system, the surface tension was nearly equal to that of ECL alone in spite of increase of molar fraction of SDS. From the surface tension values given, the compositions in the bulk phase and in the micellar phase were obtained. In the case of ECL-POE system, ECL molecules were easy to migrate from the bulk phase to the micellar phase. On the other hand, in the case of ECL-SDS system, ECL molecules were easy to migrate from the micellar phase to the bulk phase. This effect may be attributed to the presence bath of nonionic and anionic properties in ECL molecules.
For the determination of calcium stearoyl lactate (CSL) in bread, standard methyl esters of acylated lactic acids were prepared. The column and operating conditions of gas chromatographic (GC) analyses were studied and suitable GC conditions were obtained. The extraction of CSL from bread was followed by De Stefanis et al.(reference No.5) and Thewlis (reference No.6). The compositions of CSL were found to change through bread making against Thewlis's report, but the sum of acylated mono-lactates was almost unchangeable. So, it was possible to determine CSL in bread after changing it to methyl esters.
Four kinds of butyl alcohols were alkylated by dialkyl sulfates at 4045°C to prepare alkyl butyl ethers using phase transfer catalysts. Experiments were carried aut for pursuing the optimum reaction conditions in the presence of tetrabutylammonium salt, which proved to be most effective among the catalysts tested. It has been found that alkyl n-butyl and isobutyl ethers can be obtained in good yields over 93%, but alkyl s-butyl ethers in about 50% and alkyl t-butyl ethers only in less than 20%.

In San Diego (and in many urban areas) businesses lead the charge to solve social problems. I spent 20 years there working on affordable housing, workforce development, and social change, and one of my favorite partners was the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation. Their former director, Julie Meier Wright used to repeatedly say, “Unless a social cause has a business champion, nothing changes.” I was fortunate to share the stage with her at the United States Conference of Mayors Workforce Committee where she shared her wisdom and called businesses to action. Her message was simple and clear, what’s good for business is often good for the rest of society. And, when business leaders come together for change, they make stuff happen.
Our subject was workforce development, and we were part of a successful movement to shift the priorities of education and training programs to really focus on the needs of industry — down to the level of specific skills. Yet, the same message applies to homelessness and housing.
In 2016 and 2017, the Regional Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and the United Way of Los Angeles changed the course of housing and services for homeless people in historic ways. According to a recent post from the the United Way in LA, “Since 2016, L.A. has put more than 8,000 units of supportive housing in the construction pipeline. That’s more in three years than was built in the previous 30. Once these homes open their doors, they will permanently end homelessness for people who have had the greatest struggle finding stability.”
The driving force for this success were TAXES (yes, new taxes). In Los Angeles, the business community created ballot measures (HHH and H) that established a bond (paid out of new taxes on property) to pay for new affordable housing, and a sales tax increase to pay for homeless services. It is surprising that people would vote to tax themselves to help others. It is surprising that the way has been paved to build new housing and provide new services. Given the magnitude of the housing and homelessness crisis in Los Angeles, perhaps it’s not that surprising; however, the response and the action are admirable.
In most cities and towns, the development process is led by developers. They find deals, bring plans to the cities, and negotiate for development. This inefficient and expensive process always drives up the cost of development and reduces planning to a series of ad hoc transactions over decades. The results are slow, and rarely, if ever, affordable to working people, never mind the poor.
Business leaders have the power to flip the script. LA shows us that when businesses unite for change, the results can be stunning. Business leaders can call for more collective planning and action to stimulate economic growth through housing production. More housing in city centers means more support for sagging retail, more jobs, and more demand for goods and services. Business leadership starts to look like a win-win-win.
Where I live and work in Santa Barbara county, we have a growing number of people living in cars and on the streets. We have such an acute shortage of housing that 60,000 people commute to an area of about 110,000 (increasing the population by over 50%) every day (before COVID) because there is nowhere for working people to live. The retail corridor of State Street was already dying a slow death because there were not enough customers for the mostly tourist-oriented shops and restaurants. The regional malls in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria are skeletal hulks of concrete and stucco with empty parking lots and darkened department stores.
Clearly, the time is ripe for new, revolutionary thinking that changes our approach to housing, retail, jobs, environmental balance, and social services — but who will take the lead? Who will be the champions for change? I would argue that we need our business leaders to assume a greater role in leading this conversation and shaping our local forces for the new economy emerging out of the ashes of pandemic and crisis.

PhD project title: Molecular networks underpinning germination in land plants
University of Registration: Birmingham
All land plants produce desiccation-resistant structures at one point in their life cycle, which enable the transition between one generation and the next. The desiccation-resistant structure in seed plants is a multicellular, complex seed, while in early-evolving land plants (bryophytes, lycophytes and euphyllophytes) the functionally equivalent structure is the simple, single-celled spore. Spores and seeds are key for ensuring species survival, particularly under adverse climatic conditions. Around 70% of the world’s calories come from seeds. Many signals and responses controlling seed germination in model plants such as Arabidopsis are relatively well understood at the molecular level, although fundamental knowledge gaps remain (1). By contrast, the control of spore germination is almost completely undetermined. Recent work in Arabidopsis (2) suggests that a single phase of seed germination involves the co-ordinated regulation of evolutionarily ancient genes. Supporting this finding, the Coates lab has uncovered preliminary evidence that spores of the model early-evolving land plant Physcomitrella are regulated by many of the same environmental and hormonal signals that regulate seed germination, but that the molecular networks of interacting signals are “wired together” in a completely novel way (3,4). We propose that this situation is analogous to that previously discovered for the formation and evolution of rooting structures (5,6,7). Moreover, we also have evidence that, contrary to previous dogma, a gibberellin-like signalling pathway analogous to that in flowering plants exists in Physcomitrella (E. Vesty, B. King, H. Sorensen, J. Coates et al., unpublished). Uncovering a novel Physcomitrella germination network that responds to the same environmental signals as seeds opens up to a powerful future ‘synthetic biology’ approach to engineering new crop plants: replacing endogenous germination-regulatory genes in seed plants with parts of the core Physcomitrella germination network will produce plants with a completely novel germination response to known environmental inputs, thus changing the ecological niches and environmental extremes in which particular crop species can survive.
This project will use the moss Physcomitrella, which has a sequenced genome and well-established molecular genetics, to:
- Test a signals and mutants in combination for their effects on spore germination, thus developing a “matrix” of environment-hormone-signalling pathway interactions.
- Determine transcriptional changes occurring during spore germination using RT-PCR, qRT-PCR and RNAseq.
- Further investigate the role of diterpene signalling in Physcomitrella germination.
- Test the function of key Physcomitrella genes in the network identified in (1) - (3) using molecular genetics and novel imaging techniques to examine the mechanics of spore germination at high resolution.
- Begin to engineer the Physcomitrella germination network into Arabidopsis and test the effects on seed germination in response to controlled environmental signals.

Base, a new layer 2 application-focused protocol by Coinbase, has just one criterion left to fulfill before being ready for mainnet launch.
On June 29, the team said the Optimism-powered, Ethereum-secured network has been subject to six months of rigorous security audits — both internally and externally — its second-last criteria required for launch.
“With the completion of these audits, we’ve now fulfilled ⅘ of our criteria for mainnet launch,” Base said, adding that the team feels confident after not finding any critical code bugs:
“Completing these in-depth security workstreams without discovering critical severity bugs gave the Base team confidence to proceed towards mainnet launch.”
The other three criteria passed included a “Regolith” hard fork in testnet, a successful infrastructure review with OP labs — the team behind Optimism — and Optimism’s “Bedrock” upgrade.
P.S. In case you’re keeping track, with the completion of these audits, we’ve now fulfilled ⅘ of our criteria for mainnet launch…https://t.co/eRarQ4R7zG https://t.co/9o3vNidNtE
— Base  (@BuildOnBase) June 29, 2023
Coinbase officially launched Base on Feb. 23. It aims to be a low-cost, secure, developer-friendly network for building decentralized applications.
To “battle-test” Optimism’s tech stack, Coinbase’s protocol security team conducted its own internal audit to identify any vulnerabilities that may emerge on layer 1, layer 2 and on the bridges.
In addition to Coinbase’s internal audit, Base invited the broader community to partake in a public smart contract audit test via Code4rena to report bugs found in the Optimism’s tech stack:
“We engaged over 100 security researchers as part of this contest, and are happy to report there were no significant vulnerabilities discovered.”
Among the audits investigated by the security researchers included Optimism’s node software, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) equivalence vulnerabilities, bridge vulnerabilities and miscellaneous smart contract issues.

What it means to launch mainnet with this security first mindset
— Base  (@BuildOnBase) June 29, 2023
The community audit ran from May 27 to June 10, with a maximum of $100,000 in rewards handed out to successful bounty hunters.
Demonstrating “testnet stability” is the final criteria that needs to be passed prior to mainnet launch, according to a previous post from Base.
The five criteria required for Base to launch on mainnet. The timeline provided by Base was published on May 25. Source: Base
While Base didn’t state how the final criteria would be fulfilled exactly, the team said that they’re still reviewing submissions from the 100 researchers that took part in the public smart contract audit in addition to reviews from past audit programs — namely “spearbit” and “sherlock.”
Base added that they’d built Pessimism, an open-source monitoring tool that aims to notify builders of any anomalies that may arise in the protocol, such as account balance irregularities, contract events, or disparities between L1 and L2 states.

In late March, Coinbase said they want to see an inflation-pegged “flatcoin,” an on-chain reputation system and an on-chain limit order book exchange built on Base.
Many considered the development of Base to be a “massive vote of confidence for Ethereum” when the news was first announced in late February.
Secured on Ethereum and powered by layer-2 network Optimism, Base aims to eventually become a network for building decentralized applications.

Mindframe urges media to refrain from reporting that may cause further distress for specific individuals or group of individuals in relation to the transmission of COVID-19.
Mindframe encourages inclusion of the National Alcohol and Other Drugs Hotline (1800 250 015) in media reporting
Mindframe is encouraging media to expand support for the health of Australians by including the National Alcohol and Other Drugs Hotline (the Hotline) on communications related to alcohol and other drugs (AOD).
Mindframe calls on media to report safely and avoid speculation of the potential impacts of COVID-19.
New opportunities for strengthening Mindframe training programs were focus of the recent Mindframe Journalism and Public Relations Educators Advisory Group meeting held in Sydney.
Mindframe welcomes release of the NSW Government recommendations of the Special Commission of Inquiry into the Drug ‘Ice’ (the Inquiry) and the inclusion of the Mindframe guidelines among the recommendations (Recommendation Three).
Mindframe and Cracks in the Ice have released new guidelines to inform, support and empower media to report safely and responsibly about crystal methamphetamine in ways which minimise harm, stigma and discrimination while maximising help-seeking behaviour.
As media continue to cover the incident, which occurred yesterday (19 February 2020) in Camp Hill, Queensland Mindframe urges media to avoid including explicit information that may be harmful to vulnerable audiences.
Mindframe wishes to acknowledge the grief and loss felt in the communities affected following the incident that occurred in Camp Hill, Queensland this morning. We would like to encourage media to be mindful of the Mindframe guidelines in relation to coverage around this incident.
Mindframe wishes to endorse the statement from the family of Wilson Gavin and their call for compassion for all impacted communities at this time.

But, what are the tools available to make Seattle affordable? (1) encourage public and/or private capital to build sufficient housing for our population, (2) encourage public and/or private capital to build sufficient housing in the city and suburbs; (3) encourage public and/or private capital to build sufficient housing in the suburbs ; or (4) exclude new people from the city while encouraging people to move from the city.
These are the only options for solving the problem. A choice completely unanswered by this analysis.
by Steven Conn
Given that we just had a national election where urban areas voted one way and everybody else voted the other, it is useful to find that our national contempt for cities has a very long history. As the Goodreads description tells us:
"It is a paradox of American life that we are a highly urbanized nation filled with people deeply ambivalent about urban life. An aversion to urban density and all that it contributes to urban life, and a perception that the city was the place where "big government" first took root in America fostered what historian Steven Conn terms the "anti-urban impulse." In response, anti-urbanists called for the decentralization of the city, and rejected the role of government in American life in favor of a return to the pioneer virtues of independence and self-sufficiency.
In this provocative and sweeping book, Conn explores the anti-urban impulse across the 20th century, examining how the ideas born of it have shaped both the places in which Americans live and work, and the anti-government politics so strong today. Beginning in the booming industrial cities of the Progressive era at the turn of the 20th century, where debate surrounding these questions first arose, Conn examines the progression of anti-urban movements.: He describes the decentralist movement of the 1930s, the attempt to revive the American small town in the mid-century, the anti-urban basis of urban renewal in the 1950s and '60s, and the Nixon administration's program of building new towns as a response to the urban crisis, illustrating how, by the middle of the 20th century, anti-urbanism was at the center of the politics of the New Right. Concluding with an exploration of the New Urbanist experiments at the turn of the 21st century, Conn demonstrates the full breadth of the anti-urban impulse, from its inception to the present day. Engagingly written, thoroughly researched, and forcefully argued, Americans Against the City is important reading for anyone who cares not just about the history of our cities, but about their future as well."
What bullshit. Most 'NIMBYS' I know want peace and quiet, a yard to grow something in, neighbors that won't kill them, architecture that doesn't look like Seattle's version of soviet era cheap crap next to them, and a guarantee that if the sun is shinning in their window today, a giant building won't block it tomorrow.
You want all single family housing to be torn down? Then the Trumps and the 1% own all of Seattle.
How can you dumbshits at the Stranger not see this? Fuck high density.
Our problem is not complicated. Seattle's economy is white hot, and lots of people are moving here. At the same time, because capital dried up after the financial crisis, we had a few years where we weren't building anything, so we are behind in construction.
We don't need to tear down capitalism or come up with a new economic theory. WE. JUST. NEED. TO. BUILD. MORE. HOUSING.
If trends continue of course, population growth will forever be above housing construction, but trends never continue forever. Eventually the economy will cool down, the baby boomers who own most of the housing stock will start to disappear, and the supply of people moving out of middle america to the coasts will be exhausted. Microsoft and Boeing will have yet more layoffs.
Remember, Boeing is still the largest employers in the Seattle area, and they aren't doing so hot.
As soon as ANY of that happens, housing prices will start to come down. In the meantime we just need to keep building.
THANK you. I'm getting very tired of journalists trying to pose as informed intellectuals because of the mere fact that they can question some form of ideology; economic or otherwise. There was no attempt in this article to offer tangible, realistic solutions to homelessness. Are we really starting to solve the homeless problem by calling out neoclassical economists? How about starting with the heroin epidemic and more funding for untreated mental illnesses?
Yes, devaluation can lead to profits once the economic engines start to roll again, but the idea that the poor mostly foot the bill is false. It ignores the investors and countless homeowners that lost money or lost their homes during the recession or any other difficult economic time in history. It effects everyone, just as it did during the Great Depression when white collars jumped out of windows. This article illustrates textbook confirmation bias.
Devaluation happens naturally in market fluctuations, but if the goal is to help the poor and fix homelessness, then how is devaluing commoditized assets helping either of them? Investors will rebound as they always have, and that is the beauty of Capitalism: it isn't perfect because it reflects imperfect humans, i.e. Greed. Denying the laws of supply and demand is like denying the laws of selection that shaped our brains in humanity's infancy. Kin selection and reciprocal altruism is roughly a few million years old. The need for energy and resources to compete and survive has been around ever since RNA started replicating roughly 3.8 billion years ago. Good luck with a new economic theory which subverts that. My banana simply isn't yours to have.
It is indeed true that legislation has negatively influenced the blacks in the past and into today. I fail to see the relevance; it's a related but separate issue that needs correction. Empathetic filler?

planet mu allstars: criminal '02
Reviewed by sheikh ahmed (absorb.org)
it had to be really, hadn't it? i mean, the idea of taking harmless (and not so harmless) pop tunes and proverbially spewing digital vomit all over them to make them sound as fucked as possible is not a new one. but this release smartly bookends the genre since the release of the first criminal ep, way back in october 2000.
eight tracks of music that'll you make you laugh, cry, wiggle and want to kill someone violently. possibly all at the same time. it takes a certain kind of artistry, even genius not only to make this sort of stuff. but then to take it through and spend time, money and effort getting it out there. it's a comfort to think that there are people there like this.
the opening 'get wicked' by rude ass tinker (an anagram of tusken raiders aka mike paradinas) throws every single rave-tastic cliche into the powerbook blender and liberally sprinkles it over a bass-heavy 2-step mash-up. funky and freaky in equal measure. but things quickly turn nasty with the dark pulsating veins of arch-noise manipulators doormouse and venetian snares (here in his ventriloquist snakes guise). the former is hard, the latter is harder. but what really tickled us was the piss-taking swagger of 'can't get money out of my head' by the flying kylies. has to be heard to be believed.

2018 : Synthesis of Ceria Zirconia Oxides using Solvothermal Treatment
Prof.Dr.Ir. Sugeng Winardi M.Eng
Dr.Eng. Siti Machmudah , ST.,M.Eng.
Dr.Eng Widiyastuti ST., MT.
Ceria oxide (CeO2) is widely used as catalyst with high oxygen storage capacity at low temperature. The addition of zirconia oxide (ZrO2) to CeO2 can enhance oxygen storage capacity as well as thermal stability. In this work, ceria zirconia oxides has been synthesized via a low temperature solvothermal treatment in order to produce ceria zirconia oxides composite with high oxygen storage capacity as electrolyte of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). Under solvothermal conditions, solvent may control the direction of crystal growth, morphology, particle size and size distribution, because of the controllability of thermodynamics and transport properties by pressure and temperature. Water, mixed of water and ethanol (70/30 vol/vol), and mixed of water and ethylene glycol (70/30 vol/vol) were used as solvent, while Ce(NO3)3 and ZrO(NO3)2 with 0.06 M concentration were used as precursor.

The House Appropriations Committee has now advanced all twelve spending bills for fiscal year (FY) 2022, approving significant increases for most federal science agencies and programs. The spending bills will now be considered by the full House of Representatives.
The overall allocation for the Commerce, Justice, and Science (CJS) appropriations bill, which includes funding for the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), would increase by $9.5 billion compared to FY 2021 to $81 billion.
NSF would receive an increase of 13.5 percent under the spending bill, which is less than the 20 percent boost proposed by President Biden. The science agency would receive a total of $9.6 billion, $1.1 billion more than the FY 2021 enacted level, and $536 million less than the President’s request. The research account at NSF would be allocated $7.7 billion (+11 percent), which is significantly lower than the $8.1 billion (+18 percent) requested by the agency. The spending panel approved NSF’s proposal to create a new Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships within the Research and Related Activities account. Other science highlights from the CJS spending bill include:
- NASA would receive a slightly larger budget compared to amount requested by the President. Overall, the agency is slated to receive $25 billion (+8 percent) under the House bill, with its science account receiving $8 billion (+9 percent), $38 million above the agency’s request.
- NIST would receive $1.4 billion, a boost of 32 percent. The President proposed a 45 percent increase for the agency.
- The panel approved a 19 percent increase for NOAA, to $6.5 billion in FY 2022, which is $508 million less than the amount requested by the agency.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is funded by the Labor-Health and Human Services-Education (LHHS) spending bill, would be allocated $49 billion, $6.5 billion more than the FY 2021 enacted level and $2.3 billion less than the amount requested by the President. Of the $6.5 billion in increased spending allocated for the agency, $3.5 billion would be targeted to basic biomedical research at existing NIH institutes and centers. $3 billion would go towards creating a new agency—the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), for which the President had requested $6.5 billion in his budget proposal. Included in the LHHS spending bill is $282 million (+10 percent) for the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which supports public outreach programs at museums.
The Energy and Water Development spending bill includes $7.3 billion for the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, a 4 percent increase compared to FY 2021, and $120 million less than President Biden’s request. The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) is slated to receive $600 million, $173 million above FY 2021 and $100 million more than the level requested by the agency.
The House Appropriations Committee previously advanced the Interior-Environment and Agriculture appropriations bills, approving increases for research agencies and programs within the Department of the Interior and the US Department of Agriculture.
Markups of spending legislation has yet to begin in the Senate. Both chambers of Congress will need to pass all 12 appropriations bills or pass a stopgap measure before the end of the fiscal year on September 30 to avoid a government shutdown.

Many people died building the Thailand–Burma Railway during World War 2. One way to appreciate how difficult was is to visit locations along the “Death Railway” where the difficulties were at the extreme. The area east of the Tham Krasae Railway Station that is still in use today. This area is very scenic with the sheer cliffs along the winding Kwai River. But remember many gave their lives to remove the rock to make a flat grade for the trains to run smoothly during World War 2. If you get a chance to visit, and you feel the high humidity and temperature of what is typically Thailand, remember how difficult it must have been for the prisoners of war who did not have proper food or clothes (and no air-conditioning) and were often beaten if the slowed construction.
The trains on this line are mostly used for tourists, showing a big portion of the “Death Railway” within the Province of Kanchanaburi.
At the western end of the cliff area and just west of the Tham Krasae Railway Station is another interesting destination, the Krasae Cave. It is not a large cave but easy to access and there is a Buddhist Shrine in the cave making it a place for meditation.
Many of the destinations in Central Thailand is dense green jungle with spots of civilization here and there to make things interesting. Click here to view a list of Articles about Destinations in Central Thailand.

Well, it was a UFO but it isn't anymore! I finally quilted this. The quilt is a row robin swap quilt and my request was for orphan blocks of whatever size put together with whatever filler was necessary for a 12" x 48" row. I really like how it turned out. I received lots of interesting blocks. The top row is the row I made. 2 of the blocks were test blocks for 2 different recipients in a birthday swap (Lantern and paper pieced spiky block) The star in a circle has paper pieced curves for the star background Then the circle with star was set into a square of fabric with a circle cut out. ...I had seen the technique in a magazine and wanted to try it out.
I decided to try different quilting patterns on the various blocks. All was done free motion quilting...no marking whatsoever.
this is just a sampling...I don't want to spend all day taking pictures and posting them!

The Air Force variant of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter passed another key test days ago, deploying an AIM-9X missile while in flight to hit a drone over a military test range, officials with the Pentagon’s F-35 Joint Program Office said.A beyond visual range missile missed a drone.
The test with the F-35A was conducted off the California coast July 28, Joint Program Office spokesman Joe DellaVedova said in a news release.
The Raytheon-made AIM-9X Sidewinder missile was launched from the Lockheed Martin-made aircraft’s external wing in the test. The F-35 was able to complete a series of complex steps to track and target the drone, including identifying the object with mission systems sensors; communicating with the missile; giving the pilot, Air Force Maj. Raven LeClair the change to confirm the targeting information using the high-tech F-35 helmet mounted display, and launching the missile to engage the target, according to the release.
“After launch, the missile successfully acquired the target and followed an intercept flight profile before destroying the drone, achieving the first F-35 Air-to-Air kill or ‘Boola Boola,’ which is the traditional radio call made when a pilot shoots down a drone,” officials said in the release.
During the same exercise, LeClair fired an AIM-120C Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile, or AMRAAM, carried internally, to take out another drone. This was a miss, however, as the drone target was out of visual range.
The defense journalist said that the miss was because the drone was out of visual range.
And yet you trust the defense media? You believe the Deputy Commandant for the Marine Corps that brags about simulated combat and bullshit deployments to Red Flag while the rest of the Marine Wing burns?
F-35 fanboy you need help. Put the crack pipe down and seek medical attention.
NOTE: SPUDMAN says that the problem was with the AIM-120 and not the F-35. My question to him is if that's so then how did the F-35 go up against F-16's and wipe the floor with them but can't hit a drone? We're being told about combat simulations that are totally scripted to get a desired result and then that result is being pushed out to defense reporters that don't know the proper questions to ask! The illusion they're selling is that the F-35 is good to go and out of the woods. The fact that they still haven't negotiated Lots 9 & 10 indicate that not only is the price not yet right but neither is the software.

Since opening its doors in 1998, Language Stars has introduced more than 30,000 children to foreign languages with small-group classes and full-immersion activities. Through a selective process, Language Stars recruits ambitious teachers from more than 20 countries who share a common goal of revolutionizing how and when American children learn foreign languages. Parents and Tots Classes are available for children between 1–3 years old, and Kids Only classes are available for children 3–5, 5–8 and 8–10 years old. Absorbent little minds soak up Spanish, Mandarin, French, German, or Arabic with the help of their FunImmersion approach, learning naturally through games, songs, activities and art projects to help kids finally understand their foreign-exchange imaginary friends.
It's easy to think of artists as solitary people locked away in their studios—Mark Rothko withdrawing to obsess over the interplay between his blockish swaths of color or Jackson Pollock dangling a dripping brush over a canvas on the floor of an empty room. This is the exact opposite experience Michele Foshee wants people to have at artventureUs! An accomplished designer with clients including National Geographic and the White House, Michele sees painting as an engaging social experience where friends and complete strangers can share an adventure as they paint both original pieces and re-creations of famous works, such as Gustav Klimt's The Kiss.
Some classes include wine, and students don’t need experience, since Michele and her instructors take a step-by-step approach to teaching the basics of working with acrylic paints. They also furnish participants with every supply they'll need from a closet full of aprons, canvases, Greek muses, and paintbrushes. In addition to leading public classes, the team at artventureUs! organizes private painting parties.
Since its founding in a small Gaithersburg, MD warehouse, Amazing Art Studio has taught others the basics of visual art and empowered them to explore various art forms on their own. The studio hosts open sessions that allow burgeoning artists to freely explore different creative and hands-on mediums. During pottery painting sessions, participant can explore techniques for decorating bisque with glaze, while painting classes transform blank canvases into still-lifes and landscapes. Glass-fusing and mosaic sessions, meanwhile, let students freely combine pieces of colored glass into wild geometric and organic designs. The studio also organizes camps and programs for children, and after-hours adult workshops that encourage pairing art with beverages. Throughout the day, books and pictures are always on-hand to jump-start creative thinking.
My Gym Children's Fitness Center, which currently has more than 270 international locations, began more than 30 years ago as a structured place for children to safely play, acquire new skills, and romp off a sugar buzz. All classes are organized according to age level—starting as young as 3 months—and designed to incorporate the latest physiological and psychological research. Tiny Tykes gets babies moving with help from their parents, Mighty Mites teaches youngsters self-reliance and beginning sports skills, and Whiz Kids, a class for kids aged 4.5 to 6, emphasizes motor skills such as running, jumping, throwing, and kicking. My Gym's energetic instructors are experts at using music, dance, and gymnastics to build youngsters' strength and self-esteem, while stimulating their giggle-plexes. The noncompetitive environment fosters creativity, and hands-on activities boost children's learning retention and fun quotient.

The USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) is leading a trade mission to Angola this week, and with the support of the Beef Checkoff Program, U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) Africa Representative Matt Copeland is participating. Copeland said that there are opportunities for U.S. beef in Angola’s higher-end restaurant and hospitality sectors.
USDA’s new Regional Agricultural Promotion Program, which will come online later this year, specifically prioritizes Africa, and Copeland said this could help build momentum in a developing market like Angola.
In addition to meeting with importers from Angola, trade mission participants will also connect with buyers from neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo. For more information, visit usmef.org.
