With interest in nuclear power growing worldwide, demand for uranium—the element from which fuel for nuclear reactors is fabricated—is also on the rise. International experts and stakeholders gathered at the IAEA this week to analyze the latest developments in the uranium production cycle, including supply-demand scenarios, to ensure the long-term sustainability of nuclear power.
“When we look at the global situation as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement, addressing it all will largely depend on our ability to have one factor right: energy,” IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said in remarks to the weeklong International Symposium on Uranium Raw Material for the Nuclear Cycle (URAM-2023), which concluded in Vienna today. “But to meet the expected future increase in nuclear power capacity, we will need significant innovation and qualified personnel to recover untapped uranium resources to sustainably fuel the reactor fleet of the future.”
The Symposium examined all aspects of uranium raw materials for the uranium fuel cycle, including developments and innovations in uranium geology, exploration, mining, processing, and site decommissioning. The hybrid event brought together 260 participants and 120 observers from 62 countries and three other international organizations, with some 165 people attending in person. It was organized in cooperation with the World Nuclear Association.
Currently, some 60,000 tonnes of uranium are required annually to fuel the world’s 410 operating nuclear power reactors, according to the 2022 Red Book, a publication on uranium resources, production and demand issued by the IAEA and the Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
However, with countries increasingly expected to turn to nuclear power to address climate change, energy security and sustainable development, demand could be as high as 100,000 tonnes of uranium per year by 2040. That would require a near doubling of uranium mining and processing from current levels. Amid this fresh focus on uranium during the global energy crisis, which has seen energy costs skyrocket, uranium spot prices have increased by some 50% over the last two years.
Nuclear power generating capacity could more than double by 2050, according to the IAEA’s latest projections on the future potential of the energy source. According to the International Energy Agency, nuclear power capacity must double in a secure global pathway to net zero emissions by mid-century.
“The world is on the cusp of another uptick in interest in uranium as a commodity and in nuclear power as an increasingly important source of low-carbon energy,” said Susan Hall, the Symposium Chair and a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.
But several factors impact projections of the world’s supply of uranium, she said. These included identifying in-place resources with advanced exploration techniques, technical and geopolitical vulnerabilities in permitting and operating mines, securing project development funding, and supply chain aspects.
According to the Red Book, there are more than 6 million tonnes of uranium resources in the ground, roughly equivalent to 100 years of current demand. Not all this identified uranium is expected to become nuclear fuel and a large amount is technically challenging to recover. Significant innovation and well qualified personnel will be needed in the coming years to address the challenge.
“Globally, there is a need for more uranium exploration and new mine development in the near term to meet growing demand,” said Brett Moldovan, leader of the IAEA Uranium Resources and Production team and Scientific Secretary for URAM-2023. “Looking further ahead, to ensure the long-term sustainability of nuclear energy, further innovations will be needed so that challenging low-grade uranium resources can be identified and mined in a safe, secure and environmentally sound way.”

San Francisco, CA–Thursday, June 10, 2021—The Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts has been approved by the National Endowment for the Arts for a $20,000 award from the Grants for Arts Projects program to support its 2022 exhibition, Drum Listens to Heart, which explores “the percussive” as an aesthetic and political concept. The Wattis Institute’s project is among the more than 1,100 projects from across America that were selected during this round of Grants for Arts Projects funding.
“As the country and the arts sector begin to imagine returning to a post-pandemic world, the National Endowment for the Arts is proud to announce funding that will help arts organizations such as the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts reengage fully with partners and audiences,” said NEA Acting Chairman Ann Eilers. “Although the arts have sustained many during the pandemic, the chance to gather with one another and share arts experiences is its own necessity and pleasure.”
“The NEA’s support will help us emerge from this challenging period by giving us the tools to produce an ambitious exhibition that connects American artists with others from all over the world,” said Anthony Huberman, director and chief curator of the Wattis Institute and curator of the exhibition. “While it is mainly associated with music, the notion of the percussive cuts across a rich range of cultural and political forms and brings together the language of protest with that of military control, emerges as a tool for celebration but also for oppression, and, in a most basic sense, relates to the beating of all of our hearts.”
The exhibition moves beyond the framework of music and outlines a broader “percussive field” as a model for art and politics. Inspired by the fragmented but cumulative structure of a percussive polyrhythm, the exhibition is divided into four consecutive parts or “beats,” each shown one after the other in the same central gallery space, allowing layers to accumulate and cross-pollinate. Over the course of five months, as the exhibition progresses, Drum Listens to Heart also includes a dynamic performance series, and the entire exhibition and performance series will be the subject of a newly commissioned film by Bay Area-based artist Alison O’Daniel.
Some confirmed artists include Marcos Ávila Forero, Lutz Bacher, Raven Chacon, Em’kal Eyongakpa, Milford Graves, Guadalupe Maravilla, Harold Mendez, The Otolith Group, Lucy Raven, Michael E. Smith, and Johanna Unzueta Rivas, among others.

The Strip runs through the unincorporated municipalities of Paradise and Winchester, which are south of the Las Vegas city limits.
The Vegas Strip is roughly a 4.2-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South in Clark County, Nevada. A hefty slice of the Strip has been appointed an All-American Road, and has an indicative earmark of being a picturesque nocturnal route.
One of the chief observable characteristics of Vegas’ majestic depictions is the theatrical architecture.
In 1959 the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign was assembled precisely 4.5 miles beyond the bounds of the town perimeters. Presently the symbol is approximately 0.4 miles south of the southernmost entrance to Mandalay Bay.
“The Strip” merely denotes to the expanse of Las Vegas Boulevard that is amid Russell Road and Sahara Avenue, a range of 4.2 miles. Conversely, the nomenclature frequently denotes not simply to the road but correspondingly to the innumerable casinos and resorts that pepper the boulevard, and to real estate which are not situated on the motorway but in the vicinity. The idioms Resort Corridor, Resort District or Strip Area, are occasionally bandied to designate a loftier topographical region, consisting of landscape a mile or more away from the Vegas Strip

Will be in Venice in late April. Judging from a quick review of recent posts on the cost of Venice restaurant dining, what about "street food" or prepared food at markets? Are these viable options to help keep our overall dining budget manageable?...i.e. - spend less on some eats each day so we can enjoy restaurants, too.
If so, what particular dishes/foods do you recommend? Do you have a favorite street cart??
Thanks in advance.

With inescapable internet usage, online defamation cases are on the rise. And earlier this month, a Kentucky jury found that TheDirty.com defamed Sarah Jones, ex-Bengals cheerleader and ex-school teacher, awarding her $338,000 in damages. TheDirty.com’s website model invites users to submit pictures and commentary, which the moderator can choose to post. Jones sued based on a 2009 post called, “The Dirty Bengals Cheerleader,” where anonymous posters claimed Jones had sex with all of the Bengals players and had two STDs.
The story has made the news several times, and some of you might remember Jones from her well-publicized legal struggles over the last four years. The legal saga began in early 2010, when she mistakenly sued TheDirt.com (without the “-y”) for the posts on TheDirty.com’s website and received an $11 million default judgment. The victory was short-lived, and after the dust settled, Jones sued the correct party. Then, her trial was put on hold after Jones was criminally charged with having sex with a minor, which she plead guilty to in 2012. However, the case finally went to trial, and the jury found in Jones’s favor, which was made possible by an earlier court opinion that determined TheDirty.com did not qualify for immunity under Section 230 of the Computer Decency Act (CDA).
Under Section 230, “[n]o provider . . . of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” An “information content provider” is defined as “any person or entity that is responsible, in whole or in part, for the creation or development of information.” To interpret Section 230, the court relied mostly on a 10th Circuit opinion, FTC. v. Accusearch, which concluded that “a service provider is ‘responsible’ for the development of offensive content only if it in some way specifically encourages the development of what is offensive about the content.”
So despite the fact that the posts were user-generated, United States District Judge William O. Bertelsoman held that the website “‘specifically encourage[d] development of what is offensive about the content of ‘the dirty.com’ web site,” which brought TheDirty.com outside the scope of Section 230’s protection. Several legal commentators have already questioned the validity of the decision, noting that the judge specifically criticized the word “dirt” in the domain name as encouraging defamatory materials and that the judge seemed to just plain dislike the website.
But now that a jury has decided in Jones’s favor, it appears that websites posting mostly user-generated content may have to be more weary of what they publish—at least for now. TheDirty.com’s lawyers have promised to immediately appeal:
“I’m happy,” says David Gingras, lawyer for the TheDirty.com. “We have spent three and a half years litigating against a federal judge who thinks the Internet is an Atari video game. To have an adverse judgment is never a good thing, but it’s good for us to get out of that court.”
In the meantime, the case is unlikely to have a large impact on non-user-generated websites—such as websites with comment boards—because of the unique facts surrounding TheDirty.com. As opposed to focusing on the fact that the post was third-party content, the court ultimately focused on how moderator, Nik Richie, runs TheDirty.com’s website:
This Court holds by reason of the very name of the site, the manner in which it is managed, and the personal comments of defendant Richie, the defendants have specifically encouraged development of what is offensive about the content of the site. One could hardly be more encouraging of the posting of such content than by saying to one’s fans (known not coincidentally as “the Dirty Army”): “I love how the Dirty Army has war mentality.”

The NFL preseason clipboard from Grandmaster Handicapper Joe Duffy.
Birds rookie first-round draft pick S Keanu Neal is questionable. For Atlanta, Matt Ryan and top backup Matt Schaub will be the first two quarterbacks in the game, followed by Sean Renfree and Matt Sims. Ryan and other starters are expected to have limited playing time. Some first- and second-team players may remain on the field longer.
Linebacker, wide receiver and tight end have emerged as the deepest and most competitive positions in training camp.
For the Skins, TE Jordan Reed is out. 75 percent of totals bets on the under.
Eagles RB Jordan Matthews will be sidelined for a few weeks, but Pederson is hopeful Matthews will be back by the team's third preseason game. Rookie Carson Wentz will receive the bulk of the second-half snaps for Philly.
Philadelphia starters and Sam Bradford will get 1-3 series depending on number of snaps each lasts and then backup QB Chase Daniels and the second team will follow.
Among those out for Philadelphia: offensive tackle Jason Peters, safety Malcolm Jenkins, linebacker Mychal Kendricks, wide receiver Jordan Matthews, defensive end Marcus Smith, defensive tackle Mike Martin, wide receiver Marcus Johnson and cornerback JaCorey Shepherd will all be sidelined. This is a good portion of their starters.
For Tampa wide receiver Vincent Jackson and running back Charles Sims are questionable. The defense has outplayed the offense in practice so far. 72 percent of bets on the over.
Jets thinned at RB with injuries. Jets RB Matt Forte is out. Jags talented youth has many believing this is a team on verge of breaking out. Jags focused on offense getting off to quicker starts this season.
The Ravens are without many key players including outside linebackers Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil, wide receivers Steve Smith and Breshad Perriman and running back Lorenzo Talaiferro. Joe Flacco is expected to be rested as a precaution, meaning 13 players will likely be out for Baltimore.
This game under biggest consensus at 86 percent.
NE thinned at RB. Dion Lewis hasn’t practiced and the same goes for Donald Brown and D.J. Foster recently. That has left Tyler Gaffney with the bulk of the carries in training camp. They also lack depth at LB.
Saints biggest consensus side, though a modest 60 percent.
Chicago very thin on interior offensive line. Many believe Bears QB Jay Cutler will miss OC Adam Gase, now the HC in Miami. Denver has Mark Sanchez and Trevor Siemian are listed as co-starters at quarterback. First-round pick Paxton Lynch remains the No. 3 quarterback.
For Bears: first stringers will play the first quarter, second will play the second and third, and third will be the fourth quarter. Injuries have Chicago thin at LB. However, they have a lot of depth at DB and have young players battling for position.
Featured on multi-media the world over, Joe Duffy is the NFL Specialist in betting.

Fleeing and eluding, Mayfield Road: At midnight Aug. 3, an officer on patrol on Mayfield Road saw a motorcycle, traveling about 60 miles per hour, being chased by South Euclid police on Warrensville Center Road. As the motorcycle entered Cleveland Heights, the CHPD officer took over the chase.
The motorcycle rider did not slow down while passing through the Noble Road construction zone, went through a red light, weaved between traffic and nearly caused several accidents. He then road onto a sidewalk. On the sidewalk, the motorcycle hit an estimated speed of 70 miles per hour. The officer gave up the chase on North Taylor Road.
The motorcycle's license plate number, expired as of April 10, was recorded by South Euclid police. The vehicle was thought by South Euclid police to have been operated by its owner, who was identified and is now the subject of a felony fleeing and eluding warrant.
Theft, Mayfield Road: At 12:50 p.m. Aug. 3, loss prevention at Home Depot, 3460 Mayfield Road, notified police that they had in custody a shoplifter.

Genetically Modified Cannabis (GMO) - Is The Monster Real This Time?
The genetic modification does not exactly evoke the intentions of trust and good faith. In fact, it tends to evoke something of the sort like Wolverine's flashbacks to the cruel lab experiments performed against him and against his will. And with that in mind, not many people would be excited to consume GMO cannabis that weird, maniacal scientists would play creator with in an obscure and top secret government lab ...
How genetically modified cannabis is close to becoming an ordinary commodity or even the new norm in the booming industry and how much of the fear associated with this perspective stems from a misinterpretation of genetic modification ?
These are questions that anyone involved in the cannabis industry in one way or another wants to get answered.
A few years ago rumors of the use of genetically modified cannabis in the market swirled around the internet, fueling doubt among average cannabis users as to the origins of their products. However, these turned out to be nothing more than myths, debunked by experts. Much of the fake news arose out of the confusion between genetically modified cannabis and the most potent cultivars on the market today, the result of years of selective breeding.
“So if you have a GM plant, you can introduce multiple copies of THC-synthesis to produce more THC, but there are also ways that nature will do this through gene duplication… CJ Schwartz, from Marigene, doctor in biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin and expert in cannabis genetics, explained to the High Times.
But now the problem is real. Experts believe that Big Agriculture has its big eye Sauron on the cannabis industry.
"The cannabis industry should be aware that sooner or later there will be Big Ag at play in this industry," explains the Dr. Reggie Gaudino of the Steep Hills Cannabis Lab, based in Berkeley. “And Big Ag uses exactly these techniques [genetic modification]. We're working to help today's population of farmers and ranchers stay relevant when Big Ag comes knocking on the door. "
Large companies and monopoly
Like genetic modification, big companies tend to invoke the same kind of fear and mistrust, perhaps because the two often seem to go hand in hand with monopoly, creating a terrible triangle with few breakaways.
Monsanto, the leader in genetic modification, was recently acquired by Bayer, the leader in the pharmaceutical industry. How does the Monsanto and Bayer merger affect the cannabis industry? The main gate is Miracle-Gro.
Monsanto and Miracle-Gro are already partners and the latter has already more than manifested its intentions:
“Invest, for example, half a billion in the pot. It's the biggest thing I have ever seen in the lawn and garden, ”says Jim Hagedorn, CEO of Miracle-Gro.
To give his statement even more solid expression, Hagedorn has already purchased three of the industry's biggest cannabis producers - Botanicare, Gavita and General Hydroponics. But others, like Hydroponics Lighting, resisted:
“They want to bypass the hydroponics stores. When we said we weren't going to bed, they said, “We could just buy your business like we did with Gavita and do whatever we want,” said a representative from Hydroponics Lighting.
The good news
On the one hand, the bad reputation of genetic modification could have an impact on some of the natural efforts to improve cannabis products, which are the norm for agriculture.
“The future is not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to cannabis genetics. It's about figuring out what you can do with it, ”says Dr Gaudino. “I think a lot of people are afraid of it because of genetics. In reality, it's something that all agriculture does because it makes sense, because we have the tools and the technology, and we can do things more profitably and smarter. It does not necessarily mean that we are abandoning the farm. "
On the other hand, other experts think that cannabis, a symbol of the spontaneous magic of the mother and her purified healing power, people will never turn away from the transparency of artisanal and natural products. and will turn to genetic modification.
“I don't think there is anything GMOs can do for the cannabis that we need that cannot be achieved with advanced plant breeding techniques,” says Mowgli Holmes, CEO of Phylos Bioscience. “GMOs can produce glow-in-the-dark cannabis, but we don't need it. "
And at the end of the day, even the most powerful corporations are helpless in the face of an indifferent consumer. As long as there are people who support good old-fashioned cannabis cultivation, combined with innovative, yet natural and transparent practices, the monsters will remain locked in and hungry.
Advice to natural producers
In another interview for GanjapreneurDr. Gaudino shares some words of wisdom that producers can use to prepare for a possible storm:
“The message Steep Hill is trying to get across is this: If you're a breeder the best thing you can do right now is get high. "
“Finding those nuances, going beyond these unique new strains, trying to develop better phenotypes so that you can have some relevance in a few years. There is not a single producer who has the serious power to compete with companies like Monsanto or Dow Agrosciences. "
“The only thing left to do is put your stake in the ground and protect your efforts so that when everything on the shelves becomes open source, you have something better to offer the community. This is exactly the message we are trying to get across. "

Some Survivor news to start the day!
Remember THIS post? It’s where I told you there were rumours swirling about the cast of Survivor: Redemption Island.
only 16 survivors were originally announced and photographed… but waiting int he wings were two other castmates – yet to be revealed.
Today, it was released that Boston Rob and Russell would indeed be returning to the island this season! Exciting? I think SO! This season was already shaping up to be a classic with the new format, and now they are bringing back two of the most prolific Survivors of all time. I’m a massive Boston Rob fan. I still dont know what to think about Russell… but he will NO DOUBT shake things up and stir the drama pot!
EAch will join a tribe – not sure how the other cast mates will feel about this, or if they’ll keep them around long. History says Not likely. But both are gunning for each other, let’s recall, Russell was instrumental in ousting Rob from their last All-Star gig.
The official announcement is HERE.
The new season Premiere will air Wednesday, Feb. 16 on CBS – it’s already in my calendar under ‘order in and leave the phone off the hook’.

Back to back to back
A couple of solo shots have been hit by Adam Dunn since my last posting. The first was off of Chris Carpenter of the Cardinals a few days ago. The second was yesterday against the Phillies and Brett Myers. Yesterday's was notable in that it was the second time in Dunn's career that his was the middle part of back to back to back home runs.
In the sixth inning yesterday, Dunn's home run was sandwiched by shots by Edwin Encarnacion and Rich Aurilia. Back on October 2, 2005 against the Cardinals, his two teammates that were recently dealt to the Washington Nationals hit the homers that surrounded Dunn's. Felipe Lopez preceded Dunn's blast and then Austin Kearns followed Dunn with a homer.
Dunn passed Hal McRae (191), Carl Furillo and Al Rosen (192).

Seek urgent medical attention if you have severe, unusual pain or other signs and symptoms. Headache may be a sign of an underlying disease or health condition. Headaches are common, but sometimes they are serious warning signs. This is how you WILL KNOW when to worry about a headache.
Read on to learn more about when you should worry about a headache. Changes in personality or mental function Headaches can range from bothersome to debilitating, but you don't have to suffer. Knowing when to worry about a headache is the first step towards your better health. Although it is usually harmless, a headache can indicate an emergency situation.
However, some migraine symptoms may look like those of stroke. For example, a person who has migraine with aura may experience loss of sight for short periods; tingling and numbness in the face, hands, or other areas of the body; and speech and language problems, such as not being able to say words, difficulty, or murmurs during a migraine attack. However, remember that overuse can lead to rebound headaches and a vicious cycle of drugs and headaches. Primary headaches are the most common and describe headaches that “just happen” without an underlying illness or injury causing them.
Health professionals may treat headaches differently, depending on the person, their health history, and whether they have a primary headache disorder or other condition. Chronic headaches are defined as headaches that occur 15 days or more a month for more than three months. If your headaches are common, keeping a diary that tells you when you have headaches can help you figure out what triggers them. The problem gets its name because headaches tend to appear in groups, with one to eight headaches per day for a period of one to three months each year or two, often at the same time of year.
In the immediate postpartum period, a person may also experience a severe headache known as a postdural puncture headache (PDPH) if they received epidural or spinal anesthesia to control pain. In fact, Headache Australia says they are one of the most common symptoms that humans experience, with more than 5 million Australians affected by headaches and migraines. If you have any type of headache all the time, it's important to talk to your primary care doctor so they can help you create a treatment plan or refer you to a specialist. Even so, you should know when a headache needs urgent care and how to control the vast majority of headaches that do not threaten your health.
One clue that a headache is a sign of something serious is when it's significantly worse than the headaches you usually get. Severe headaches can occur as primary or secondary headache disorders, depending on what they are and why they develop. If you have frequent headaches and use medicines, over-the-counter or prescription, or both, for more than 10 to 15 days a month, you may have medication overuse headaches. If the headache improves with treatment of the underlying condition, this helps determine what is causing the headache.


Remember way back in 2011 when the adorable 13-year-old Rachel Crow took The X-Factor by storm with her powerful voice? Well, having been born to a woman addicted to drugs and living the first few months of her life in a crack house, Rachel survived the abuse and was fostered, then adopted, by a loving family. Now, Rachel is sharing her incredible talent to help bring awareness and help to foster and adopted children. In this tender performance at the Angels in Adoption Gala in 2015, Rachel does more than just perform Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song.” She brings adoptees and those who have been in the foster system up on stage to perform with her. The result is a touching experience for performers and observers alike.

Do you know? Ohio has specific rules that govern how employers handle employees who are summoned for jury duty – Ohio Revised Code 2313.18.
Rule number 1 is simple. It is illegal for an employer to discharge, threaten to discharge, or take any disciplinary action that could lead to the discharge of any permanent employee summoned to serve as a juror, provided that the employee gives reasonable notice to the employer of the summons prior to the commencement of the employee’s service as a juror and if the employee is absent from employment because of the actual jury service.
Rule number 2, though, is counter-intuitive. It is illegal for an employer to require or even request an employee to use vacation time, or sick leave, or other paid time off for time spent responding to a jury duty summons, time spent participating in the jury selection process, or time spent actually serving on a jury.
Rule number 3 provides some relief for small businesses. If a company with 25 or fewer full-time employees (or their equivalent) has more than one employee summoned for jury duty within the same court term, the court must postpone and reschedule the service of the later-summoned employees.
Companies should take these rules seriously. Violations can be punished as contempt of court, and employees terminated in violation of this statute could pursue a wrongful discharge claim.

Are you still welcoming customers to your grocery store with the same old traditional weighing scale, old wooden racks, dingy and unimpressive interiors, haphazard staking of goods and finally, using the age-old cash register for making bills and don’t have digital payment option?
You are either running the grocery store in primitive age or defiant to accept modern shopping trends as necessitated due to changing customer preferences.
More than 10 million small and medium retail stores in India belonging to various business categories are still following the traditional means to do business. With government pushing the digitalization across all business sectors, traders need to change if they want to remain in the business.
Why to change?
Retailers can count on the following advantages if they opt for modern Grocery store POS system instead traditional and obsolete billing methods.
1. POS system for your grocery store can take over several functions of your store personnel such as accounting, inventory, billing, CRM, offers and discounts, business analysis and secured customer data handling.
2. Accuracy is guaranteed as for as maintaining records and inventory.
3. Can do fast billing, so reduce customer waiting time at POS counters/checkouts. You can attend more customers in less time.
4. Can get customer buying behavior data instantly and offer individual discounts and coupons on specific products. Send details of new arrivals and offers to customers to increase sales.
5. Prevent pilferages at warehouses and POS counters as everything is recorded.
6. Automatic inventory management to boost sales.
7. Proper labeling of racks will help customers reach specific merchandise easily. This improves customer experience and saves time.

9. Hand-held POS and Cloud POS systems improve customer handling ability and help reach customers wherever they are and at any point of time.
10. POS system provides clear edge over your competitors and peers for sustainable business growth.
Which POS system you need?
For a grocery store Point of sale, depending upon your size, number of merchandise and daily volume of projected business, the cost of the hardware products can vary. But one can have a complete POS system with billing software for about Rs 2 lakh, which is the onetime investment, unless the vendor wishes to upgrade his POS system to suit his growing business in later stage.
For hardware part, you need a display monitor, electronic cash drawer, barcode scanner (hand-held or desk-top), barcode printer, pole display (optional), Thermal receipt printer, electronic weighing scale and a card payment terminal. Except card payment terminal, all other things can be bought directly from the market. For payment terminal, which is a card swiping machine, can be had from the bank where you have the current account and integrate with the POS system.
POS software for retail store, which is the lifeline of the POS system, any good neighboring retail POS software vendor can help you install best software and integrate all the above mentioned peripherals to work seamlessly.
If you want to go for still advanced POS system, go for tablets or Mobile POS with cloud POS or hand-held POS system where you can bill customers using wireless technology such as Bluetooth or WiFi which can not only improve customer experience but also make your business grow at greater pace.

Employers have a responsibility to ensure the health and safety of their employees. This includes protecting them from hazardous chemicals in the workplace. To do this, employers must take a number of steps to ensure that their employees are safe. The first step is to identify any hazardous chemicals that may be present in the workplace.
This includes any chemicals that are used in the production process, as well as any chemicals that may be present in the environment. Once these chemicals have been identified, employers should assess the risks associated with them and develop a plan to minimize those risks. The next step is to provide employees with appropriate safety training. This should include information on how to safely handle and store hazardous chemicals, as well as how to respond in the event of an emergency.
Employers should also provide employees with appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves, masks, and respirators. Employers should also ensure that all hazardous chemicals are properly labeled and stored in secure containers. This will help to prevent accidental exposure to these chemicals. Additionally, employers should ensure that all employees are aware of the potential risks associated with exposure to hazardous chemicals and how to minimize those risks.
Finally, employers should regularly inspect the workplace for any potential hazards. This includes checking for any leaks or spills of hazardous chemicals, as well as ensuring that all safety protocols are being followed. If any potential hazards are identified, employers should take immediate action to address them. By taking these steps, employers can help to ensure the health and safety of their employees by protecting them from hazardous chemicals in the workplace.

|Capture of Aden|
|Part of the Ottoman–Portuguese conflicts (1538–1557)|
Ottoman fleet in the Indian Ocean in the 16th century.
|Ottoman Empire||Portuguese Empire|
|Commanders and leaders|
Aden had already been captured by the Ottomans for Suleiman the Magnificent in 1538 by Hadim Suleiman Pasha, in order to provide an Ottoman base for raids against Portuguese possessions on the western coast of India. Sailing on to India, the Ottomans failed against the Portuguese at the Siege of Diu in September 1538, but then returned to Aden where they fortified the city with 100 pieces of artillery. From this base, Sulayman Pasha managed to take control of the whole country of Yemen, also taking Sa'na. Aden arose against the Ottomans however and invited the Portuguese instead, so that the Portuguese were in control of the city until its capture by Piri Reis.
Piri Reis would continue with successes against the Portuguese with the Capture of Muscat (1552).

Critical Costume Exhibition 2020: Costume Agency
“Critical Costume” (https://www.criticalcostume.com/) was founded by Prof. Sofia Pantouvaki et al at the Aalto University in 2010. “Critical Costume” is a biannual symposium (often presented together with an exhibition) that travels around European countries. This year Oslo National Academy of the Arts hosted the “Critical Costume”, under the leadership of Prof. Christina Lindgren (Costume Department). Prof. Lindgren commissioned Yuka Oyama as the curator of the exhibition “Costume Agency” within the symposium “Critical Costume 2020”.
- DIKU (Norwegian Agency for International Cooperation and Quality Enhancement in Higher Education) - Oslo National Academy of the Arts - Kulturrådet
Description of project
Due to the corona pandemic both the symposium and the exhibition became online events. Along with the curatorial work, Oyama worked as the artistic director: https://costumeagency.com/. As the three-day-event, “Critical Costume 2020 Conference” opened on 21. August 2020, which accommodated 40 online working groups, where max.14 members attended. Prior to the implementations of the online working groups, two presenters uploaded their video presentation materials. Consequently, “Critical Costume 2020” produced 80 video clips that now serve as valuable archived education and research materials in the field of Costume Art. “Costume Agency” exhibition invited artworks of 35 international artists. Oyama invited eight artists personally; the rest of the artists were selected after a public open call announced in the previous year, 2019. Costume studies are often approached from a singular discipline, for example in theater, dance, fashion, fine art, film, and public art. The artistic research, Costume Agency stems from the discipline of costumes in theatre. As a craft and fine artist, I sought to participate into the artistic research through focusing on costume as the main medium that resonated and shaped the performance. I paid attention to roles of materials that shape costumes and performances, how costumes dictate performativity, and how costume artists work beyond their conventional roles as costume makers and designers, and engage in roles as a director, choreographer, script writer, and so on. After collating thirty artists through a public open call in December 2019, I examined what kind of criticalities costumes and their enactments were capable of addressing. I then made the following two fundamental categories: “costumes as social skin” (visible extended organs) that communicate, articulate, negotiate socio-political agendas; and “costumes as initiators of new experiences” that evoke gestures in wearers, as the wearers gain enhanced multiple sensorial receptions through extended and exaggerated tactility, smell, sound, and weight of costumes. Based on the core two categories, I then created further eight categories in the exhibition: IDENTITY AGENCY, POLITICAL AGENCY, MATERIAL AGENCY, AGENCY OF SENSES AND SENSUALITY, EMOTIONAL AGENCY, AGENCY OF TECHNOLOGY, AGENCY OF BODY AND EXTENDED SPACE, AGENCY OF PLAY.

Jason Momoa is an American actor and is well-known for his work on “Game of Thrones,” “Aquaman,” and “Justice League.” He was born in Hawaii in 1979, and his modeling career was his first step toward becoming an actor.
Momoa is renowned for his tough-guy demeanor and passion for sports like surfing and rock climbing outdoors. He is also an advocate for environmental causes. But he is also famous for gay rumors. The internet has several posts that suggest the actor is gay.
But what’s the actual truth? We’ve checked out Jason Momoa’s personal life and analyzed its cores to understand his accurate sexual label. Let’s discover the truth together.
There’s No Evidence of Jason Momoa Being Gay
Some people love to make up fake stories about celebrities. They can create relationship or sexuality rumors. Hence, whenever you hear a person calling a specific star gay, don’t trust them immediately.
Many have tried to prove actor Jason Momoa gay, but they failed for not having strong evidence. Yes, Jason Momoa is straight by sexuality. His haters couldn’t find any picture or video where the bulky actor admitted to being gay or bi.
We can prove his straight sexuality by informing you about women that he hooked up with. Next, we’ll show you Jason Momoa had affairs only with ladies. Hence he isn’t gay.
Jason Momoa’s Girlfriends, Wife, and kids
In the past, Jason Momoa has dated a few women, including:
In 1999, on the set of the television program “Baywatch Hawaii,” Momoa got to know actress Simmone Mackinnon.
Soon after, they started dating, and they dated for 6 years before splitting up in 2005. Mackinnon’s television roles on “McLeod’s Daughters” and “At Home with the Braithwaites” in Australia are what made her most well-known.
In 2019, there were rumors that Momoa had a fleeting affair with actress Lindsey Lohan. Yet, neither party has provided confirmation.
Heather Joan Graham
Actress Heather Joan Graham and Momoa are reported to have dated in 2011. The two were considered highly friendly with one another and were frequently spotted together on occasions. Momoa and Graham, however, declined to confirm the connection.
In 2020, Momoa’s alleged relationship with model Simone Holtznagel was a topic of rumors. The two appeared to be having fun together when they were sighted together in public.
Yet neither Momoa nor Holtznagel has made any official statements regarding their romantic status.
It’s known that Jason Momoa had affairs with female stars. Moreover, he married the actress Lisa Bonet in 2017 after being in a relationship for 12 years.
He became the father of two children. A daughter Lola Iolani and a son Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha. The couple sadly split in September 2022.
Jason can’t deny these facts. Also, this tough guy didn’t have a boyfriend. Why would he? Because he knows that he likes women and not men. So, it’s better not to believe in online rumors any longer.
Lisa Bonet, an actress best recognized for her work on “The Cosby Show,” was Jason Momoa’s wife from 2017 to 2022.
Lola Iolani, a daughter, and Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha, a son, are their two children.
Through Bonet’s former union with musician Lenny Kravitz, Momoa also has a stepdaughter named Zo Kravitz. So there’s no denying that Jason Momoa’s sexuality is straight.

“When the Fiat Currency Bubble finally pops, the gold price will soar and fiat currencies will collapse, just like all fiat currencies have done throughout monetary history. At that time I expect gold will return to its rightful and traditional role as international money at the center of global commerce.
My recommendation therefore is to continue accumulating physical gold, and if so inclined, silver too, in order to protect your wealth in preparation for this watershed event. Even though gold’s purchasing power has been rising for more than a decade, its appreciation has much further to go.”
-James Turk in the Free Gold Money Report
Antusiasme atas kemenangan partai pro-bailout dalam pemilu Yunani akhir pekan lalu tidak berlangsung lama Senin (18 Juni 2012) kemarin, karena melonjaknya borrowing cost Spanyol memicu kekhawatiran eskalasi krisis hutang zona euro. Tidak hanya obligasi 10 tahun Spanyol yang tertekan, tetapi juga obligasi 10 tahun Italia, yang membuat yield-nya melonjak masing-masing di atas 7,13% dan di atas 6%.
Sekarang mari kita lihat lebih dekat sebuah aset yang mungkin tetap akan bagus dalam keadaan apapun, yaitu EMAS. John Hathaway, seorang Portfolio Manager dan Senior Managing Director pada Tocqueville Asset Management LP, pada tanggal 22 April 2012 lalu menulis sebuah artikel berjudul “Gold, Gold Mining Shares, and QE: Two Persistent Questions”. Di dalamnya, ia memprediksi bahwa “QE3 or not, we believe the gold price is headed towards new high territory.” Selain itu ia juga mengomentari mengenai kelanjutan QE sebagai berikut:
“We believe the risk/reward posture of the gold market is asymmetric. By now, it seems that market expectations for additional QE have been sufficiently dashed; that any new round of monetary easing will come as a big surprise. The possible absence of QE seems unlikely to inflict incremental damage to the gold price.
“On the other hand, a new round of QE will most likely be triggered by emergency conditions in the financial markets and be seen as both an act of desperation and a tacit admission by policy makers that they really have no answers. In such a moment, we would not be surprised by a leap in the gold price approaching several hundred and possibly thousands of dollars an ounce in too short a period for significant capital to enter.
“It is of course possible that a political sea change could occur in the United States election this coming November that would lead to a meaningful restructuring of the fiscal and monetary position underlying the US dollar. However, based on the precedent set by Europe in which clamor for fiscal reform has been silenced by austerity fatigue, we have serious doubts that such a shift would yield durable progress on issues that undermine the dollar’s credibility.
“Beyond QE, we believe there are many factors that would remain supportive of the gold price. These include the unresolved issue as to how the Fed will exit the liquidity of its bloated balance sheet, the unresolved issue of fiscal deficits in all Western democracies, and the never ending travails of the euro zone. And when chaos and complexity gain the upper hand, there are too many permutations to enumerate.”
Finally he concluded that “the opportunity that has been provided by the nine month correction in the precious metals sector is of the sort that only comes along once in a decade. Many investors have been shaken out and still more sit on the sidelines, wondering whether the correction has run its course and awaiting better buying opportunities ahead. Despite near term paralysis, increasing numbers of investors recognize that a commitment to gold is becoming a strategic imperative.
“By focusing on timing issues, one runs the grave risk of sitting on the sidelines as this next cycle in the precious metals bull market gathers force. The history of gold bull markets has been to shakeout all but the most ardent and bloodied investors. Those who obsess about the gold price on a daily basis, betray only their ignorance. The acquisition and possession of gold is not a speculation on higher prices. It has become a core component for the preservation of wealth in a cosmos of complexity and chaos.”
Mungkin artikel Mark O’Byrne dari Goldcore berikut dapat menggembirakan orang-orang yang sering diejek karena memiliki emas:
Anthony Robbins Bullish On Gold – Faber and Bass His Financial Gurus
“Tony Robbins (Anthony Robbins), one of the world’s leading performance coaches and motivational speakers has recently warned about the risk of dollar devaluation and spoke about the opportunities in gold which is “exploding” and “is in a bull market”.
“At Robbins’ recent event in London (May 18th to 21st), he spoke about the importance of getting good financial advice from the people who predicted this crisis and have made money for their clients in recent years.
“He spoke about investment experts who he respects and specifically mentioned Marc Faber and Kyle Bass.
“Robbins is one of the most positive and optimistic people in the world. Nevertheless, he recently produced a YouTube video warning of an impending economic collapse.
“Faber and Bass are extremely bearish on paper currencies and government debt and are very bullish on gold and silver bullion due to the euro zone debt crisis and looming global debt crisis due to the appalling fiscal state of Japan, the UK and the US.
“Dr Marc Faber is a Swiss financier who predicted the Wall Street Crash in 1987. He is the editor and publisher of the “Gloom, Boom & Doom Report,” and author of many books including the best selling ‘Tomorrow’s Gold: Asia’s Age of Discovery’.
“Faber advised investors to buy gold in 2001 and he is still extremely bullish on gold and silver and believes that gold will rise in all economic circumstances – a global inflationary economic boom, stagflationary environment or even in a global deflationary recession or Depression.
“Kyle Bass is the erudite Texan investor who saw the financial crisis coming and made a fortune in the sub-prime collapse – first from America’s sub-prime mortgage crisis and then from betting that Greece would default. Now he’s positioned and ready for the collapse of entire countries, having bought credit default swaps on Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Portugal and, interestingly, Switzerland.
“Robbins shares the concerns of Faber and Bass regarding sovereign defaults and Robbins is very concerned about the risks of a US debt crisis and the risks that it poses to the US dollar.
“A recent video ‘The National Debt and Federal Budget Deficit Deconstructed’ by Robbins is well worth a watch: www.youtube.com/GoldCoreLimited
“Gold and indeed those who own it are often accused of being ‘barbaric’, ‘uncivilised’ and ‘bugs.’
“Indeed, there is often a suggestion that those who own gold are negative ‘doom and gloom merchants’ who hope that the world financial and monetary system will collapse so that their gold holdings will surge in value and they will be ‘rich as Croesus.’
“Anthony Robbins and indeed most who are positive about and advise owning gold very much contradict this silly view. Indeed, many of them have been warning about these fiscal challenges for years in an effort to protect family, friends, clients and the public.
“The majority of people who buy gold are rational economic people who realize that there is macroeconomic, geopolitical, monetary and systemic risk in the world and they buy gold as a store of value.
“They buy gold as they simply wish to protect themselves and their families from these risks by owning the financial insurance that is gold.
“Robbins has a massive following internationally – especially amongst business owners but also in the sporting, media, music and entertainment industries and his endorsement of the importance of owning gold is significant.”
Beberapa minggu lalu David Einhorn, pendiri Greenlight Capital, menyamakan kebijakan moneter Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke dengan melahap jelly donuts:
“A jelly donut is a yummy mid-afternoon energy boost. Two jelly donuts are an indulgent breakfast. Three jelly donuts may induce a tummy ache. Six jelly donuts, that’s an eating disorder. Twelve jelly donuts is fraternity pledge hazing.
“My point is that you can have too much of a good thing … Chairman Bernanke is presently force-feeding us what seems like the 36th jelly donut of easy money and wondering why it isn’t giving us energy or making us feel better. Instead of a robust recovery, the economy continues to be sluggish …
“As a result, I will keep a substantial long exposure to gold, which serves as a jelly-donut-antidote for my portfolio.”
Dan Denning, yang menulis artikel yang sangat menggugah pikiran untuk The Daily Reckoning belum lama ini, menantang dengan mempertanyakan pernyataan Charlie Munger tentang emas. Di dalamnya ia mengklaim bahwa sekarang mungkin merupakan saat terbaik untuk memiliki emas karena kita sedang hidup di zaman yang benar-benar menarik – atau meminjam istilahnya adalah tidak beradab.
Saya berasumsi tidak semua orang akan setuju dengannya, tapi saya kira Anda perlu waktu 5 menit hanya untuk bertanya pada diri sendiri, setelah membaca paragraf ini, apakah sebuah ide yang buruk untuk membeli emas (seperti yang diindikasikan oleh Munger)? Dan apakah sistem moneter yang diadopsi saat ini akan berlanjut, atau sesuatu yang lain akan menggantinya?
Berikut adalah penggalan-penggalan dari artikel tersebut. Silakan menikmati dan melihat apakah Anda menjadi lebih bersemangat untuk membeli beberapa koin emas … atau sebaliknya, tidak sama sekali:
“Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s partner in crime at Berkshire Hathaway, told CNBC recently, “I think gold is a great thing to sew into your garments if you’re a Jewish family in Vienna in 1939, but I think civilized people don’t buy gold. They invest in productive businesses.”
“Interestingly, for more than a decade Berkshire has underperformed gold – the investment asset Buffett recently called “forever unproductive.” (see chart below from www.agorafinancial.com)
“Since 1997, Berkshire’s shares have declined relative to this forever unproductive asset. The nearby chart depicts the trailing 10-year return of gold since 2007. Thus, the first data point on this chart shows the return an investor would have received from buying gold or Berkshire Hathaway in 1997. Moving across the chart to the right shows subsequent 10-year time frames. Bottom line: Based on a 10-year holding period, there has not been a single moment since late 1997 what an investor would have been better off buying Berkshire Hathaway instead of gold.
“No wonder Charlie is so cranky!
“This lengthy underperformance by Berkshire may explain Buffett’s and Munger’s very vocal and public hostility toward gold. Or maybe that’s just a function of both men living most of their adult lives in an era where the monetary system was not disintegrating. They are unable to imagine it.
“But the chart above isn’t an indictment of the investment acumen of Buffett and Munger. It’s an indictment of the world’s fiat monetary system! A civilized society with civilized people has sound money. An economy with sound money has price stability. This stability allows for long-term planning and investment. This stability rewards investors for identifying which businesses are the most productive and efficient users of shareholder capital.
“In an uncivilized society, where the value of your labor is stolen through inflation (made possible by an unsound money system) long-term planning and investment become much more difficult, if not impossible.
“If you accept that we live in civilized monetary times where productive labor is actually rewarded, your brain has been tranquilized by the Big Lie of our times. Munger wants you right where you are. The less you think about how uncivilized the current monetary system is, the less likely you are to question it or disrupt it (which would be inconvenient for Charlie).
“But if you live an era that subverts accurate valuation of productive businesses – an era that subverts the productivity of the economy itself by encouraging debt and consumption, owning gold seems prudent, not wacky.
“Uncivilized times call for uncivilized investments.”
What Do the Charts Say?
Emas sedang berada dalam momentum penting. Seperti Anda dapat lihat pada 4-Hourly chart di bawah ini, ada pola rising wedge yang terbentuk dalam 2 pekan terakhir, yang membatasi baik lows maupun highs hingga saat ini (19 Juni 2012).
Jelas terlihat bahwa emas bergerak sideways dalam kisaran yang sangat sempit, setelah menyelesaikan penurunan dalam 5 waves pada minggu kedua Juni. Jadi pertanyaannya sekarang adalah: Apakah emas menghadapi resistance kuat atau justru akan menembusnya di pekan ini?
Level paling penting untuk diamati dalam 48 jam ke depan adalah reaction high sebelumnya di $1,640.50. Jika A-B-C Wave berakhir dengan C Wave di bawah puncak tersebut, maka gerak selanjutnya akan turun dan idealnya akan membentuk penurunan lagi dalam 5 gelombang.
Intinya: Jika support di level $1,606.49 berhasil ditembus, maka akan menjadi peluang untuk mengambil atau menambah posisi jual karena emas dapat kembali ke lows sekitar $1,525. Namun sebaliknya, jika menembus ke atas $1,640.50 maka kemungkinan akan cenderung terjadi rebound kuat menuju 61,8% fibonacci retracement dari penurunan $1,790.30 ke $1,527.00 yang berada di $1,689,72.
Przemyslaw Radomski di Sunshine Profits melakukan analisis yang sangat menarik untuk korelasi komoditas minyak mentah dengan logam mulia. Berikut adalah gambaran teknikal beserta komentar tambahan darinya:
“In the long-term chart below we see that oil prices continue their breakdown. This chart suggests that oil is likely to decline much more (to 74 or likely to 65 or even lower) and that gold prices have merely seen a small pause in their downtrend, much as was the case in 2008. The implications here are bearish for gold and the entire precious metals sector.”
Stewart Thomson dari Graceland Updates memperlihatkan grafik bulanan emas, yang disebutnya dengan “carrier strike group” karena dia menyoroti areal technical support yang paling luas. Berikut adalah grafiknya beserta sedikit saran investasi darinya.
“If you commit any risk capital to gold, you are committing capital to the world’s lowest-risk asset. It should be committed mostly when price declines into one of these massive support areas. With gold, you must be able to deal with drawdowns of any size. If you can’t deal with any and all drawdowns, then you have invested too heavily.”
Terakhir datang dari Tim Jacono dari Jacono Research memiliki lelucon mengenai Kanselir Jerman pada tulisannya tanggal 15 Juni 2012, yang berjudul “Merkel On the Chances of Greece Staying in the Eurozone”:
“During a press conference last Friday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel gestured in response to a questioner who asked how she gauged the chances of Greece remaining in the European currency union after the political change that is expected to be ushered in following Sunday’s election.
“No, not really. This is just the photo accompanying a Bloomberg story about how Germany is set to lead the fight in the next stage of the European sovereign debt crisis. However, it wouldn’t be too surprising to learn that she holds little hope for Greece staying in the eurozone.

Roughly 88% of all UW-Madison students who have tested positive for COVID-19 have experienced symptoms, PHMDC officials say
MADISON, Wis. — The vast majority of University of Wisconsin-Madison students who have tested positive for COVID-19 have reported that they’ve experienced symptoms during their infections, according to Public Health Madison & Dane County officials.
PHMDC officials said Wednesday that 88.3% of students who have tested positive have reported different levels of sickness.
“There are a lot of theories about what Covid-19 is and isn’t, but the science and data from these cases on the UW-Madison campus shows most people who get it, get sick,” Dane County Executive Joe Parisi said. “As the father of a UW senior, I understand the worry parents and their students alike face right now. The time to effectuate change is now – before the virus infects more students and staff. We did virtual learning on campus last spring and we can do it again because human health and well-being should always come first.”
As of Tuesday, 2,160 UW-Madison students have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to PHMDC data. Health officials said most of them are undergraduate students who moved to Madison at the start of the semester.
According to a news release, at least 7% of the more than 31,000 undergraduates on the UW-Madison campus have tested positive for COVID-19.
As more and more students test positive, local leaders are urging the public to be cooperative with contact tracers to help mitigate the spread of the virus.
Since July 28, PHMDC and UW-Madison’s University Health Services have attempted 3,991 contact tracing interviews. About 90% of them resulted in an interview with a public health official. Officials were unable to make contact with 10% of all patients who tested positive between Monday and July 28.
“Timely Public Health contact tracing bolsters our ability to quickly identify and isolate illness,” Parisi said. “It’s incredibly helpful not only for yourself, but also those you care about, work with, and even take care of to have an honest conversation with a contact tracer. Not doing so just prolongs the misery of this pandemic for all of us.”

Nine years ago, a piano-sized spacecraft left the cradle of Earth to visit a strange world on the edge of the solar system. It traveled past the orbits of the familiar rocky planets and swooped through the region of the gas giants. After getting a speed boost from Jupiter, it didn’t encounter another object for years. It persevered through the cold, dark space until reaching the twilight world of Pluto. There it made history on July 14th, becoming the first spacecraft to meet Pluto and encounter an ice dwarf. It took pictures and measurements that will serve mankind for years to come… And its mission may not be over yet.
What’s next for New Horizons? In the near term, it’s going to take about 16 months for the spacecraft to beam back all the data it has collected around Pluto and its moons over the past few days. It takes that long because the spacecraft can only send information at about 2,000 bits per second, which makes dial-up AOL seem zippy by comparison. Scientists expect the mission’s major discoveries to occur in late 2015 and early 2016.
Meanwhile, the plucky spacecraft will continue on its trajectory, traveling faster than 30,000 miles per hour based on sheer momentum—no fuel required. “Nothing that we can do is going to stop New Horizons from cruising out further into the outer solar system,” said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA Science Mission Directorate, during a press conference this afternoon. And the New Horizons team thinks they can put that momentum to good use. Since this is mankind’s first foray into the Kuiper Belt—a rocky, debris-strewn ring around the solar system—why not spend a little more time looking around?
The Kuiper Belt
With the help of the Hubble Space Telescope, the New Horizons team has already identified three potential targets. These Kuiper Belt Objects, or KBOs, range in size from 12 to 34 miles wide. The spacecraft is healthy and it has plenty of power and fuel (hydrazine, which is used to reorient the spacecraft), says Alan Stern.
By next year the team will submit a proposal to get their mission (and its funding) extended. If it gets approved, we could lay eyes on another KBO by 2019.
Why do KBOs matter? Well for one, these icy rocks provide a sort of fossil record for the solar system. Untouched and heavily refrigerated, they may contain clues about what happened during the birth of our solar system.
And speaking of births, KBOs can also tell us about how baby planets grow into adult planets like our own Earth. At one point, Earth, Mars, and all the other planets in the solar system were Pluto’s size. And before that, they were the size of KBOs.
“Think of a comet as a planetary embryo, a small KBO as a baby, Pluto is an adolescent, and Earth is the adult… and Jupiter as an NBA player,” says Stern, half-joking. “We want to visit examples of all the size stages in order to understand the planet formation process.”
“New Horizons is opening up a new realm of exploration, not only for Pluto and Pluto’s moons, but where it goes afterwards.”–John Grunsfeld
NASA may never have another opportunity like this again, so the odds are pretty good for getting the mission extended. Grunsfeld says he is “pretty confident” the mission will be extended.
After it presumably visits a KBO, the New Horizons team may try for a second extended mission towards interstellar space. Regardless of NASA funding, the spacecraft’s trajectory will carry it in the flight paths of Pioneer and Voyager, escaping the Sun’s gravity to enter the space between the stars, though we’ll likely lose communication with it before then, when the spacecraft’s radioisotope thermoelectric generator runs out of power.
Still, scientists think the spacecraft has enough power to communicate for a few decades still, and there’s a lot we can learn before it runs out of juice. New Horizons space physicist Matt Hill says the spacecraft is heading in a similar direction to Voyager 2. He says he’d like to see what New Horizons can measure at the termination shock–the mysterious boundary where the sun’s charged particles bump into interstellar space. “It would be really nice if, 20 years from now, we can make another measurement of the termination shock with another instrument … and also in a different place.”

On registering a child with the nursery, a contracting parent will sign to say they agree with the nursery policy on fee payment.
Fees are payable 1 week in advance, and deposit is for 2 weeks. Every child may use the opportunity to have 2 free of charge weeks per year for holidays.
The second child (lower fee) receives 30% discount.
Where a parent suggests that a fee due will be paid by the other parent, the parent is immediately reminded of the contracting parent’s regulations. The nursery will, of course, accept payment from the other parent, but if payment is not made on time it is the contracting parent to whom the nursery will turn, in accordance with the contracting parent policy.
In all cases fees are payable weekly by the 1st day of the week in advance, and cover all sessions for which the child is enrolled – including any sessions not attended by the child for instance due to illness.
In case of child’s long-lasting illness, payment for the first week will be full, for second week- half, and the third week of illness is free. Note or information about child’s health from the doctor is necessary if the Parents wish to have a discount for prolonged absence caused by illness.
There are a number of funding options to help parents/carers with childcare costs.
- Childcare Vouchers
Childcare vouchers are one of the ways in which employers can help their staff with the cost of childcare.
- Tax Credit
Tax Credits are provided by the Government to help Parents/Carers with cost of childcare. The amount available through tax credits is dependent on individual circumstances.
- Nursery Education Grant
Nursery Education Grant (also known as Free Education) is available from the term following your child’s third birthday. In some cases (if you are on income support) you can be eligible for Free Education from your child’s 2nd birthday. This entitlement provides 570 free hours per year. The Nursery is using stretched offer (ask at office).
Late and Non Payment of Fees Policy
The nursery would try to avoid any situation which would lead to a dispute between the nursery and the parent over the late payment or, in extreme cases, non-payment of fees.
The parents must understand that non-payment of fees may jeopardise the place.
We accept payments to our Nursery bank account, and in very rare acasions, in cash.
Our Tresurer Svetlana Karpaviciene sugests to do transver on Monday, that on Friday the payment should be seen on our bank online account. If on Friday your payment will not be found- you will receive reminder. If the full fee will not reach the account till next Friday (£0 balance) – you will be charged £5 pound of fine.
If the payment has not been settled in full in 4 weeks the Nursery can then demand that the parents of the child withdraw the nursery place until all monies have been settled in full.
After 8 weeks of Non-payment court proceedings will be initiated. All legal and court costs will be included in the final bill amount outstanding including any tracing fees.
If parent’s at any time experience payment difficulties please talk to the
Nursery Manager, who will endeavour to help with any situation,
If the child no longer wish to use the place, parents must agree to give one months notice of their intention to leave and should understand that they will be required to pay the fees due during the whole notice period or may deside that last two weeks can be free of charge just to return deposit money.
The fees may be subject to periodic reviews, increases will be notified at least one month in advance.
The Nursery, accepting the child for the place, is asking for 2 weeks deposit, which must be paid in full until the first full day in the Nursery.
The amount of deposit depends on the number of scheduled to attend days per week, e.g. if the child comes to the Nursery for five days- the parents pays 10 days’ deposit, if the child attends 3 days – the deposit will be the size of 6 days.
If during the year the parents wish to change a number of attended days, they will be asked add the rest of the sum to deposit to cover full price of deposit of 2 weeks.
If the Parents refuse to pay deposit, or pay rest of the money after changing the amount of attended days, or are often late for weekly payments they may lost their expectancy to have free 2 weeks holiday/per year.
