Automatic storage acceleration with MaxIQ SSD Caching. The Storage Controller is in a unique position to monitor storage traffic and make decisions regarding "hot" data areas that can be copied to SSDs, automatically and dramatically increasing the speed of any system. Adaptec's MaxIQ SSD Performance Cache Solution consists of software and a special version of the Intel X-25E single-level cell (SLC) Enterprise SSD that is used as a cache pool. MaxIQ analyzes traffic patterns and copies frequently-read "hot" data to the SSD cache pool, automatically increasing performance without adding any management issues. The data in the SSD cache pool is simply a copy of the hot data residing on the HDD, eliminating many of the data migration concerns that get involved in placement algorithms. Hot data blocks are particularly common in virtualization implementations, but are not always obvious to the storage manager.

The weekly total may be the same, but the health consequences are not. Among the participants in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, alcohol consumption was inversely associated with the risk of myocardial infarction for at least three to four days a week. The amount consumed, less than 10 grams per day or more than 30 grams, did not seem to matter as much as the regularity of consumption. Compared to many types of alcoholic drinks, vodka has a much better effect of making people feel relaxed. According to various studies, vodka helps reduce stress levels in the body more than intoxicating drinks such as red wine.
If you already drink alcohol or plan to start, keep it mediocre: no more than 2 drinks a day for men or 1 drink a day for women. And make sure you get enough folic acid, at least 400 micrograms per day. The fast-acting enzyme can break down alcohol before it can have a beneficial effect on HDL and clotting factors. Interestingly, these differences in the ADH1C gene do not affect the risk of heart disease in people who do not drink alcohol. This adds strong circumstantial evidence that alcohol itself reduces the risk of heart disease. The definition of moderate consumption is a kind of balancing act.
According to the CDC, about 29 percent of Americans have high blood pressure, which is about 75 million people. Unfortunately, having high blood pressure can put you at much greater risk of heart football gin disease and stroke, which is super often the cause of death in the United States. Don’t forget to keep in mind when combining your vodka with any mixer to make up for the taste of alcohol.
Also, the alcohol you drink is not as important as the way you drink it. For example, if you drink three alcoholic drinks in one day and then zero for the next two, you will not get the same potential benefits as a person drinking an alcoholic drink on each of those days. No, vodka does not cause you to lose weight, even if it contains few calories. It can even complicate your weight loss journey if you consume it too much. Therefore, limit or stop your alcohol consumption if you want to lose weight.
Transparent fluid can help people sleep faster while causing a very relaxing reaction in the brain. If you drink in large amounts of vodka every night, there is a possibility that you may become dependent on it, Dr. Howard C. Becker, professor of psychiatry. This syndrome includes physical signs, as well as psychological symptoms that contribute to mental health problems and discomfort.”That doesn’t sound nice. Have you ever struggled to fall asleep at night, no matter how tired you are or how busy your day is??
In addition, it can also cause fat deposits in the liver and cause liver cirrhosis. In addition to the physical benefits of moderate consumption, there are also some psychological benefits of drinking. People who drink moderately turned out to be happier and carefree.
This effect may be stronger in those who regularly consume excess vodka. Studies have shown that excessive alcohol consumption, especially in combination with a high-fat diet, can increase triglycerides. Remember that vodka contains a significant amount of alcohol that can increase cholesterol and triglyceride levels. However, some brands of hard kombuchas have no sugar, which is excellent from a health point of view, says Kober. “Whatever alcohol you drink, you should stay away from sugar,” since sugar is associated with a number of health effects, from weight gain to heart disease, she says.

The tentative number of vacancies to be filled through the examination is as follows:


China watchers and naval enthusiasts were given a Christmas treat when China’s first Aircraft Carrier, the CV-16 Liaoning, finally sailed from its home port in northern China to conduct exercises in the Western Pacific. While many have criticised the outdated design of the vessel, its development must be understood as just one step in a longer-term plan for China’s maritime ambitions.
On December 25 the Liaoning and its escort ships – two Type-054A Jiangkai-II class frigates and three Type-052D Luyang-III class destroyers with likely a Jin or Han class submarine prowling around somewhere – sailed through the Miyako strait and into the Western Pacific beyond the first island chain for the first time. After live fire exercises involving its air-wing, the battle group entered the South China Sea through the Bashi channel and proceeded on to Hainan. Although the exercise was tracked by the Japanese and Taiwanese militaries it was the carrier group’s passage though the Taiwan strait in early January which caused the most excitement. The timing of the exercise, not least the carrier group’s transiting of the Taiwan strait coinciding with President Tsai’s own transit through the U.S. while on her way to South America, was clearly meant to send a signal. But is too much being made of the exercise?
First a comparison. The Liaoning has a displacement of around 60,000 tons, which is well short of that of an American Nimitz class but places it above India’s carrier Vikramaditya and France’s Charles De Gaulle. Its inherent design of a ski ramp launch STOBAR system means Liaoning and its J-15 Flying Shark jets are limited to less than two-thirds the payload a Nimitz can launch with its CATOBAR system. It also precludes the capability for Liaoning to launch larger maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft, meaning a reliance on helicopters for anti-submarine warfare. Its propulsion system limits the carrier to an estimated top speed of 20 knots, much slower than a Nimitz, and its Type 346 AESA radar is already behind that equipped to the Type-52D destroyers. Liaoning also lacks the anti-ship missile launch tubes of its original design as they were removed in favour of accommodating aircraft.
But comparing China’s refitted former-Soviet “bargain-basement” carrier with a U.S. carrier group is hardly fair. The Liaoning, unlike its Russian sister-ship Admiral Kuznetsov, does not have to suffer the indignity of being escorted everywhere by a tug for when it inevitably breaks down. It is also not a sitting-duck like the Vikramaditya (so called because it lacked an air defence system for some time) and nor has its first voyage snapped its propellers or resulted in a radioactive glow like the Charles De Gaulle. The point is that aircraft carriers, like any major and complex weapons system, are prone to cost overruns and technical faults which can be near-catastrophic. As any observer will point out, the significance of Liaoning is not about the capabilities it has but rather what it means for China’s long road towards being a successful carrier operator.
Of more interest than its capabilities or its use as a signalling device for Beijing is what CV-16 and its planned successors say about the direction of the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) and China’s vision for global influence.
What makes assessing China’s carrier programme so difficult is that we have no real idea what the world will look like by the time it is fully realized decades from now.
In some ways it is surprising that Liaoning even exists. After almost ending its life as an unfinished hull in a Ukrainian shipyard, the Varyag, as it was then known seemed destined to become a hotel and casino in Macau when it was sold for the paltry sum of $20 million. Several years and $200 million in transport costs saw the ship arrive in northern China for an extensive refit, finally fulfilling the dreams of the pro-carrier lobby in Beijing which had been arguing for carriers since the 1990s.
Indeed, the decision to go ahead with the construction of China’s first carrier came not just from the purchase of the Varyag, but out of a number of other factors all coinciding. The carrier arrived in China as advances in radar, arrestor wires and other technologies made a Chinese-built or refitted ship a viability, and the new Jin and Luyang-II class vessels were becoming operational. The decision fundamentally changed the direction of the PLAN’s development, setting it on the path to becoming a forward leaning force, capable of ultimately engaging in combat beyond the first island chain.
The choice to engage in carrier operation may be a very expensive mistake on the part of China. Leaving aside that it will take decades before a Chinese Carrier Battle Group (CBG) will be able to engage with its U.S. counterparts as a peer-competitor, carriers are of little use in almost all likely combat scenarios that China could engage in. Both the South and East China Seas are too constrained for carrier warfare, lacking the room for a CBG to hide or maneuver. The region is also replete with nations armed with perfectly capable attack submarines and anti-ship missiles that could easily turn any attempt by China to use a carrier in the neighbourhood into a catastrophic loss of materiel, not to mention face.
Since the Chinese annexation and militarization of disputed islands in the South China Sea, there is also a far less compelling case for the need to provide sea-borne air cover, and a carrier would add little – if anything – of consequence to any scenario involving Taiwan. Indeed, a carrier-focused PLAN will not only detract from other more suitable weapons systems in all scenarios barring war with the U.S., but in choosing to project power out into the Pacific, China and the PLAN have chosen to engage the U.S. on its own terms rather than focus on more likely scenarios.
It is also debatable whether China’s view of carriers and their use is outdated. A recent Global Times piece described them as the dominant force of the oceans, which is understandable, but ignored the fact that there has not been a carrier-on-carrier battle since World War II. The closest the world has come since was in the Falklands, where the Argentinian carrier Veinticinco de Mayo could not get enough deck speed to launch its jets against the British task force. Beyond that, carriers have been used overwhelmingly for force projection at or beyond the shoreline, not as a means of establishing sea control.
What makes assessing China’s carrier programme so difficult is that we have no real idea what the world will look like by the time it is fully realized decades from now. It must also be noted that carriers are a sign of national prestige, and like nuclear weapons they don’t have to be used in anger to draw attention. In fact, they are far more useful for diplomatic signalling and intimidation, which seems to be the limit of the Liaoning’s first and no doubt future forays.
However, by embarking on such a long term and ambitious programme, China is demonstrating not only a vision of its future world role, but also an ability to think strategically far beyond the temporal constraints that afflict most Western actors.

About this artwork
Little is known about the potter of this plate, Rudolph Drach. The artist’s grandfather Rudolph Drach was among seventy-seven Palatinate Germans who, along with their families, arrived in Philadelphia on August 29, 1730, and he eventually settled in Bucks County. This plate, made in 1792 according to the incised inscription, was originally in the collection of Edwin Atlee Barber and was illustrated in his Tulip Ware of the Pennsylvania-German Potters (1903). Sgraffito decoration–the act of incising the surface to reveal the clay body beneath–characterizes many of the ceramics created in Bucks County in the Pennsylvania German tradition. Such pottery features exuberant colors and ornamentation through traditional decorative motifs, including the bird, tulip, and star shapes that decorate this plate.

The biggest annual loss on record by a Japanese manufacturer jolted executives into action at the Hitachi Corporation, the century-old electronics and engineering behemoth that takes its name from this wind-swept industrial city on the Pacific Coast.
Since its 787 billion yen, or $9.2 billion, loss in 2009, Hitachi has staged an impressive turnaround, booking a record 347 billion yen ($4 billion) in net profit in the year through March 2012, while rivals like Sony, Sharp and Panasonic continue to struggle.
But in Hitachi, a city of 190,00 and the company’s longtime production hub, there is little celebrating. Instead, the deserted streets and shuttered workshops speak of the heavy toll levied by the aggressive streamlining, cost-cutting and offshoring that has underpinned Hitachi’s recovery.
The divergent fortunes of Hitachi and its home city highlight an uncomfortable reality: The bold steps that could revive Japan’s ailing electronics giants are unlikely to bring back the jobs, opportunities and growth that the country desperately needs to revive its economy.
The way forward for Japan’s embattled electronics sector, for now, is a globalisation strategy that shifts production and procurement from high-cost Japan to more competitive locations overseas. “Closing plants in Japan is a big deal, and we don’t take cutbacks lightly,” Hiroaki Nakanishi, Hitachi’s president and chief executive, said in a year-end interview in Tokyo.
Japan is still grappling with the fallout from a decade-long, seemingly unstoppable decline of its electronics sector, once a driver of growth and a bedrock of its economy. Japan’s two biggest electronics companies, Hitachi and Panasonic, each have more in sales than the country’s entire agricultural sector, and other big electronics firms come close.
But for more than a decade, these technology companies have experienced little growth. Annual sales growth over the last 15 years at Japan’s top eight tech companies averages around zero, according to Eurotechnology Japan, a research and consulting company in Tokyo.
To blame are plunging prices across the board for their products, brought about by intense competition from rivals in South Korea and Taiwan as electronics increasingly become widely interchangeable. Overstretched and unfocused, Japan’s tech giants also ceded much of their cutting edge to more innovative companies like Apple. Japan’s failure to keep up with a shift in the industry to software and services has compounded those woes.
Still, even among its peers, Hitachi stood out for the depth of its losses. After a decade of little or negative growth, Hitachi fell first and hardest, booking its big loss at the height of the global financial crisis because of large write-downs and losses in its electronics businesses.
Local media went into a frenzy over what it called “Hitachi shock,” while the company’s shares slumped to a third of pre-crisis levels.
Hitachi once had almost 400,000 employees at a thousand often overlapping and competing groups, making products as diverse as televisions, hard disk drives, chips, heated toilet seats, elevators and nuclear reactors. Under the leadership of Nakanishi, who took the helm in 2010, the company has substantially shrunk or sold money-losing businesses.
Hitachi’s shift from consumer electronics has been the most striking, epitomised by its exit this year from a half-century of manufacturing TVs. Consumer electronics made up just 9 percent of its revenue for the year through March 2012, down by almost half from a decade ago, and it is expected to fall further this year.
Instead, Hitachi is focusing on infrastructure projects, including information technology services and networking systems, power generation, railways and industrial machinery.

Accurate estimates of rotation are crucial to vision-based motion estimation in augmented reality and robotics. In this work, we present a method to extract probabilistic estimates of rotation from deep regression models. First, we build on prior work and argue that a multi-headed network structure we name HydraNet provides better calibrated uncertainty estimates than methods that rely on stochastic forward passes. Second, we extend HydraNet to targets that belong to the rotation group, SO(3), by regressing unit quaternions and using the tools of rotation averaging and uncertainty injection onto the manifold to produce three-dimensional covariances. Finally, we present results and analysis on a synthetic dataset, learn consistent orientation estimates on the 7-Scenes dataset, and show how we can use our learned covariances to fuse deep estimates of relative orientation with classical stereo visual odometry to improve localization on the KITTI dataset.

Why Is the Dead Sea So Salty?
Bordered by Jordan to the east and by Israel and also Palestine to the west, the Dead Sea is a landlocked lake as opposed to a true sea, as well as is recognized as one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world
Its name is well gained-- no fish, birds or plants can make it through in its high-saline setting. Along the shores, salt accumulation gathers in rough ridges, peaks and towers, as well as site visitors discover that the Dead Sea's extra-salty water is so resilient that they can practically sit on its surface area. Just recently, a musician utilized the Dead Sea to transform an ordinary dress into a fragile, glittering, salted sculpture. After investing two months submersed in the "sea," the gown emerged heavily coated in brilliant white crystals, a dazzling testament to the quantity of salt in the water. Salt of the Earth.
Renowned author Mark Twain went to the Dead Sea in 1867, defining the uncommon experience in his guidebook, "The Innocents Abroad, or The New Pilgrims' Progression" (American Posting Business, 1869) as "an amusing bath" that left him with "a magnificent brand-new odor."
" Several of us bathed for more than an hour, and then appeared covered with salt till we beam like icicles," Twain wrote.
A lot of sea water is typically around 3.5 percent liquified salts, according to the National Oceanographic as well as Atmospheric Management (NOAA). This salt comes from rocks ashore; acids in rainwater dissolve the rocks as well as produce ions-- charged atomic particles-- that drainage brings into the sea. The most common of these ions are salt and chloride, which accumulate in the sea as salt.
If all of the salt in the ocean were removed and also spread over every one of the dry land on Earth, the layer would reach a height of 500 feet (150 meters), according to NOAA.
However all of that salt is still simply a drop in the bucket compared to the amounts in the Dead Sea's waters.
How low can you go?
NOAA estimates that the water in the Dead Sea is five to 9 times as briny as seawater. Salinity increases in the sea's deeper waters; at depths below 300 feet (100 m), the water ends up being so focused with salt that it can hold no more, and the salt develops on the seafloor.
The Dead Sea depends on a fault valley that covers more than 620 miles (1,000 km), starting at the Sinai Peninsula's tip and also expanding northward to Turkey. Its altitude is the lowest on the planet-- 1,407 feet (429 m) below water level. A collection of lakes as soon as inhabited this valley, but the last of them disappeared 15,000 years ago, leaving just the Dead Sea behind, according to the Minerva Dead Sea Research Center (MDSRC).
One source of freshwater feeds the Dead Sea: the Jordan River. However with no outlets, when freshwater gets to the sea, it has no place else to go. In the arid low-lying desert, the water that gathers in the Dead Sea evaporates faster than water in the open ocean, leaving huge quantities of salt behind, the MDSRC clarifies.
Left for dead
Over the last few years, human activity has siphoned still more valuable water Click here for more info from the Dead Sea by drawing away the Jordan River for farming usage, thus diminishing the sea's limits as well as making the continuing to be water also saltier.
Actually, the Dead Sea is going away at an alarming price, declining by concerning 3 feet (1 m) yearly, according to a research released in 2010 in the journal Environmental Economics. The study writers additionally noted that the Dead Sea has actually pulled away by about 100 feet (30 m) since the beginning of the 20th century.
As well as research study suggests that also without human treatment, the Dead Sea could be in trouble. In 2010 and also 2011, scientists drilled below the Dead Sea to look for hints concerning its geologic past. They discovered that regarding 120,000 years earlier, during a cozy period that came before the last glacial epoch, the Dead Sea ran out entirely, leaving all of its salt behind.
But though its future may be uncertain, the body of water long known for being a "dead zone" still has a couple of shocks to supply researchers. In a 2011 exploration, scientists put on specialized diving equipment and descended to formerly inaccessible depths in the salted water, discovering freshwater springs that were bordered by nests of microorganisms.
It appears like the Dead Sea might still have some life in it nevertheless.

After another lackluster season at safety, are the Dallas Cowboys preparing to shift former first round pick Byron Jones back to corner in 2018?
It’s been three years since the Dallas Cowboys selected Connecticut defensive back Byron Jones with the 27th pick in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Jones shot up draft boards after breaking the World Record for a standing broad jump (12-feet, 3-inches) at the NFL Scouting Combine.
So, the Cowboys knew they were getting a world-class athlete. But after three seasons in Dallas, they also realized Jones has next to no football instinct. During his rookie year, the Cowboys coaching staff played the first rounder everywhere in the secondary. It wasn’t until his second season they choose to cement him at safety.
Jones has been at that position for two years now. And I can honestly say, I don’t believe he’s gotten much better. He’s certainly not a defensive playmaker, having racked up a measly two interceptions in three years. Jones is a willing tackler, but certainly not a thumper. And you would think his unmatched athleticism would make him better in coverage than he is.
Everything about Jones as a safety has been mediocre. And the Cowboys coaching staff recognized that last season, so they started swapping him out for former sixth round pick Kavon Frazier on every other series. While the second-year Frazier flashed his physicality on the field, Jones continued to disappear into the background.
At this point, I think it’s safe to say that safety simply isn’t Jones’ best position. Maybe it’s cornerback instead. And not your typical corner mind you. But one that specifically covers tight ends and larger receivers. That’s the one area Jones seems to excel. And at this point, as a former first rounder, you have to find a place for him somewhere.
With one-year left on his rookie deal, and the club option for another up in the air, Jones’ current career trajectory is not looking good. But could the addition of the man responsible for the Legion of Boom’s success in Seattle, new defensive backs coach Kris Richard, breath new life into this struggling player?
"“[Kris] Richard coached a secondary that included athletes with size and length outside so it would make sense that he would prefer those types,” responded Dane Brugler to a mailbag question via the Dallas Morning News. “Could that mean Byron Jones moving back outside to cornerback? That’s one option.”"
At 6-0, 205 pounds and possessing a 44-inch vertical leap, Byron Jones is a big bodied defensive back who checks all the right physical boxes. If coach Kris Richard can find a way to utilize his unique athletic ability, perhaps there is still hope for a player who seemed destined to achieve draft bust status.

This summer, Ald. Milele A. Coggs offered college-bound students a chance to help pay for their education in exchange for their statement on what the concept of “freedom” means to them. This year’s 4th Annual Freedom Essay Scholarship Contest winners were announced last week by Alderwoman Coggs’ office.
Ella White Ragland submitted the required information and wrote an essay of 1,000 words or less addressing what freedom means. Ragland is a recent graduate of Messmer High School and now attends Marquette University. In her essay, she said, “If we as a new generation understand the past and how those before us fought so that we might have the freedom that exist now, we could truly begin to take steps forward that would help us deal with the world today.”
Shaleta Lathon was also awarded a scholarship for her essay. She graduated from St. Joan Antida High School and now attends Saint Xavier University. In her contest essay, she said, “I am so grateful for people like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and more. I thank them for their contributions to society each and every day.”
Ald. Coggs said, “The celebration and recognition of the struggle for freedom is one that can not be forgotten and these young women were able to convey that fact and had great suggestions on how other young people could contribute to society to help combat and prevent prejudice, discrimination and violence in our world today.” The contest, which has become an annual event, opened early this summer and candidates were solicited from recent high school graduates who are residents of the 6th District. Raglan and Lathon will each receive a $500 award for their essay.
“It is my sincere hope that at some point all those who seek higher education and are willing to work hard for the opportunity have it; this scholarship is one small way that I have found to contribute to such opportunities,” Ald. Coggs said.

The century-spanning stories of cycling siblings. The untold tale of TI-Raleigh’s unforgettable kit. An epic charity ride from one end of New Zealand to the other. An imaginative plan to save pro cycling’s future. A misty mountain monument to the Cantabrian Highland cow. And an athletic lass from Bolton socking a nineteenth-century chauvinist in the chops. Could it be any more Conquista?
The cover of Conquista issue 18, by Spanish designers cachetejack, pays tribute to a lady cyclist whose story was published in The Illustrated Police News on July 1st 1899. Taking exception to certain “insulting remarks” from a roadside youth (who had “apparently been imbibing”), she dismounted and delivered a sound thrashing, “using her fists in scientific fashion”. Conquista doesn’t normally advocate violence, but we’re great believers in the scientific method . . .
“They stare at each other across the decades – the dangerous Pélissiers, with their brilliantined hair and their bag of tricks, and the smiling Simons; all teeth, courage and coloured Lycra. Connected by a thread of yellow – a jersey won, another lost almost forever in the high peaks of the Alps – they are two of the great French cycling dynasties, infected with the love of la petite reine like a virus spreading from brother to brother and on down the generations.”
Suze Clemitson delivers a typically compelling account of the intertwined lives and careers of brothers in the professional peloton in He Ain’t Heavy.
We all have our favourite historic cycling jerseys. Nottingham native Holly Blades has a soft spot for the red, black and gold of TI-Raleigh. She tells the story of the team and its kit in the first of a series aimed at unravelling some Threads of History.
Everyone knows that the business model of the typical pro team is a disaster, damning staff to a perpetual search for flighty sponsorships when they would much rather concentrate on the racing. But what’s the alternative? The people at Katusha-Alpecin thinks they have an answer. Scott O’Raw of The Velocast dissects a fascinating attempt to rewrite the rules in The New, New Future.
Few riders divide opinion like Tommy Voeckler. Beloved of the French fans for his unpredictable, instinctive style, elsewhere he is mocked for his self-regard and theatrical gurning for the TV cameras. But no one could fail to admire his heroics in the 2011 Tour de France. James Shepherd tells the story of this, the greatest performance of the (allegedly) unfortunately-nicknamed F*cker.
When star photographer Brian Hodes saw a shimmering peloton of chrome lowrider bicycles cruising through his home town of LA he knew he just had to document them. When he finally caught up with the East Side Riders Club, who use their machines to distribute food parcels to the needy on the streets of Watts, the story turned out to be even more extraordinary than he thought. Editor Trevor Gornall puts the words to Brian’s fabulous pictures in Ride4Love.
September. Damp. Cold. A short, impossibly steep climb. Shivering, bicycle-borne spectators hanging out their kit to dry. A statue of a Highland cow looming out of the mist. The heating on full blast in the press centre. A Scottish stage of the Tour of Britain? No – it’s the 2017 Vuelta a España, the day it went up Cantabria’s fearsome and wholly obscure Los Machucos. Marcos Pereda was there to drink in the scene.
New Zealand’s trio of Ethan Mitchell, Sam Webster and Eddie Dawkins have done everything there is to do in the team sprint, and much more besides. Russell Jones joins them over a four-shot long black to hear their stories of winning rainbow jerseys, savouring an on-track beer at Six Day London and taking on Japan’s finest and most fearsome keirin riders in New Zealand Track Team.
We linger in in the Land of the Long White Cloud to hear from Cameron Nicholls, who set out to ride the length of the country, top to bottom, to raise money for teenage cancer charities CanTeen NZ and Australia. In mid-winter. He encountered torrential rain, aggressive farm dogs, unsympathetic homeowners, life-saving Chinese herbs and lots of logging trucks.

Recent months have been hectic for Dagestani jihadists. Since mid-2014, this hotbed of the North Caucasian insurgency has witnessed a gradual split, with numerous Dagestan-based jihadist commanders pledging oath (bayat) to the leader of the Islamic State, Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi. In response, the Caucasus Emirate’s formal leader, Aliaskhab Kebekov, himself a Dagestani, criticized the disloyal commanders for splitting the ranks of the local insurgency. In mid-February, the newly appointed amir of the Dagestani Vilayat, Kamil Saidov, joined Kebekov in his condemnation of those submitting to Baghdadi’s authority. Given the North Caucasian and Dagestani jamaats' weakening capacity, the ongoing developments in Dagestan could break the unity in this last bastion of the regional insurgency.

The recent attacks in Paris against the studio of satirical journal Charlie Hebdo, known for its caricatures of Muhammad, have sparked heated debates in Dagestan. While Dagestanis have primarily focused on evaluating the implications of this single case of lethal violence, their debates have unfolded against the background of increasingly frequent attacks carried out by members of local jihadi groups – jamaats – against targets deemed anti-Islamic according to Salafi dogma.

Moscow’s new envoy to the North Caucasus, Sergei Melikov, is flexing his administrative muscles and challenging Dagestan’s Head, Ramazan Abdulatipov. Abdulatipov’s opponents at the republican level also seem determined to seek the resignation of the republican governor. The counterterrorist operation regime has become endemic in some areas of Dagestan and the government’s promises to crack down on the hotbeds of insurgency have produced few results. The sense of a systemic crisis of governance is increasing in the republic as the current governor is running out of time to implement long-promised reforms.

Recently, frequent media reports of Azerbaijani citizens involved in the Syrian civil war have sparked a renewed interest in the possible impact of Arab revolutions on this post-Soviet country. Even though Azerbaijani authorities have sought to remain silent on the matter, news from both the South Caucasus and the Middle East suggest that Azerbaijani volunteers have increasingly been participating in the civil war hundreds of miles away from their homeland. Upon their return in Azerbaijan, they might pose a serious threat to the internal stability of the nation of nine million, located at the crossroads of Turkey, Iran, and Russia.

I have what I believe is some type of Tabernaemontana (not sure which one) that is looking very poorly. It has been turning white between the veins for ages now, mostly on the newer leaves. So far I have given it Miracle Gro 24-8-16, Bloom Booster 15-30-15, epsom salts in H2O, Chelated Iron with Zinc, fish fertilizer, Alaska seaweed extract 0-10-10 over the past months. Nothing seems to be helping it - any thoughts?
Help with my sick plant.
No, no extra water given when I fertilized, just the 1tablespoon per gallon as directed. The plant does get watered by the sprinklers 1X per week for 20 mins. Does it look like an iron deficiency to you? The direction for the iron was to spray the dilution on the leaves, but I do admit to pouring some on the ground around the plant too when the leaf application didn't seem to work.
Also, dose anyone know which Tab I have? After looking on the net I think it's T holstii which some info (but not all) says it's now called T pachysiphon - so very confusing!
It sure looks like an iron deficiency. Have you had your soil tested by your extension office?
Sometimes iron chlorosis can be caused by a high pH; you may have plenty of iron in your soil but the plant cannot use it because of the pH.
With the twisted looking flowers, I think it is Tabernaemontana pandacaqui.
Thanks Dave! Nice to know what I have! Now I can look it up.
Thanks Ardesia, I think my soil is slightly acidic. I did buy one of those soil testing kits from HD and I came out at between 6.5 and 7 ph... which I think is just about neutral if you can believe the kits. You are right - I really must have a proper soil test done, although I have not had any trouble with the gardenia...
Foliar fed the Tab with chelated iron and zinc again this evening after the sun went down - fingers X'ed!
You need to find out your "cation exchange capability" and your extension service will do the test to determine that.
Thank you so much. I will call the Dept of Ag today and find out where and how to get the soil sample done.
I seem to be having the same problem with my three Acai palms.
I could also be a manganese deficiency same effects as iron deficiency (from what I have read) soil test is only real way to tell which is lacking.
Good luck its a pretty plant!
Manganese hmm...will try to go up country this weekend when I am off work and try to find some. I haven't had time to do the soil test yet, but I am planning on getting that done. I don't want to loose the plant because the flowers smell out of this world good.
I did give it some more chelated iron and zinc spray, but it hasn't made any difference. I am not sure how quickly I would see iron work anyway - anybody know?
Mahalo for all your help!
The iron should work right away IF the plant is able to take it up; the soil conditions have to be right. Dig a pint of that soil and drop it off at the extension service. You have put down so many chemicals now, I would not do anything else until you know what the issue is.
You can also get leaf tests done. Sometimes the minerals can be in the ground but for some reason aren't being taken up. The answer might even just be as simple as altering the pH rather than throwing a handful of chemicals at it.

I've got some older 4-12 and 6-18 Redfields and they're still keepers.Actually the 1st Leupold I ever owned was given to me as a prize.....by OYOA, Mr Randy himself. 3.5X10X40 CDS. The scope cost more than the rifle I put it on. I'll say this about that. I've been spoiled against all other scopes since. When it came time to mount some glass on my 338 Fed project I went straight to Predator Optics (keepin' it in the family) and snatched a Leupold 2X7X33 for under $200. Hummm, now I'm thinking that M96 Ruger needs an optic upgrade from that 45 yr old 4X Redfield.

During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Brown revealed that she had her sights set a completely different character, one that involved less demogorgons and more iron thrones.
'Stranger Things' Star Millie Bobby Brown Auditioned for 'Game of Thrones' (& Nearly Quit Acting When She Didn't Get It)
She said, "I was auditioning for commercials, for anything, really. I then auditioned for Game of Thrones and I got a 'no' for that. And then, that's when I was like, 'Oh, this is really difficult,' and I guess I really wanted that role."
Although the actress didn't mention the specific role during her chat with Fallon, Brown previously confirmed in her interview with Preview that she auditioned to play Lyanna Mormont on the series. She said, "Yeah, that was the role I went for, but I got Eleven instead! I'm not bitter!"
The role given to Bella Ramsey, who appeared on the show's last three seasons. However, it appears that things still worked out in Brown's favor—especially considering her huge success with Stranger Things and her new film, Enola Holmes.
While speaking with Fallon, she explained that Strangers Things (then called Montauk) was the one thing that kept her from quitting acting for good. She said, "One of my last, kind of, goes at this was this Netflix show called Montauk. I auditioned and then, like, two months later they got back to us and said, 'We'd love to Skype with you' and then I Skyped with them and the rest is history, of course."
We can't wait to see even more of Millie on our screens in season four!

After almost two years of battling COVID, the quest to live healthier is stronger than ever. In addition to the known physical benefits, there are a slew of emotional and psychological benefits as well. Read on to learn all the ways living healthier benefits you.
Improved Long-Term Health
We all know that living a healthy lifestyle can provide immediate benefits. We feel better overall, both physically and mentally. However, did you know that choices you make today can impact your life in the future? Choosing to exercise more and eat a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet now can ward off chronic medical conditions in the future, like heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. And even if you’ve made poor dietary choices in the past, you can still undo the damage simply by changing the way you live.
Another benefit of living a healthier life is your life insurance premiums. Those who exercise regularly and eat a wholesome diet tend to have lower premiums when compared to those who don’t. In fact, you may even be able to sell your policy for cash value to a third-party. If you’re not familiar with how this works, there are plenty of free guides available online that explain the cash value of your policy and how to go about selling it.
Increased Levels of Happiness
Choosing to change your current lifestyle can also change how you feel overall. Since your stomach contains millions of neurotransmitters, which are directly linked to your brain, what you eat influences your mood and outlook on life. Consuming a diet rich in antioxidants can make you feel happier and help you have a more positive outlook overall.
Increased Feelings of Self-Worth
How you treat yourself says a lot about you. When you live as healthy as possible, it changes the way you see yourself. And when it comes to feeling more confident and liking who you are as a person, it can influence that too. Treating yourself well can increase feelings of self-worth and boost your confidence levels as well.
As we get older, it’s not uncommon to have trouble losing weight. And while it’s perfectly okay not to be the same size you were when you were 20, the extra weight can cause a variety of medical issues later in life. Eating clean, not smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption goes a long way when it comes to your overall longevity and physical wellbeing. Understand that this process takes time and instant gratification is typically uncommon. In the same ways you had to stay motivated to study all year long as a student, you will have to find ways to stay motivated to stay on your health goals even when results are not what you hoped.
You are a Positive Role Model
If you have children, how you live is even more important. Your children look to you as a role model, so if your life choices are a bit unsavory and not good for you, they might follow suit. Even if you’ve made mistakes in the past, you can still lay the foundation for them to make better choices as they grow up. Explain why you’ve decided to make specific changes and then follow through. Even very young children will want to emulate your positive behavior, so it’s never too early or late to start.

The keel of a sailing yacht has been shown to constitute a significant part of the overall resistance. Where the details of this effect are not yet fully understood, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis might reveal mechanisms unseen to the experimental eye.
An important step in CFD application is the simulation of a number of validation cases. In the present study I simulate three different validation cases in the commercial CFD solver FLUENT, applying a Reynold's Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method with a realizable k-epsilon turbulence model and a Volume of Fluid (VOF) free-surface approach. From these three validation cases I obtain five drag coefficients, four of which are within an acceptable range of error of the experimental values.
After this validation, I consider several mechanisms related to keel resistance. Simulations indicate that the keel rudder interaction is Froude scaled and that the keel resistance can be scaled by a form factor method, presumably by means of a flat plate skin friction line.

The architect Paul Abadie died shortly after the foundation had been laid and the work was finished by 5! architects (between 1884 and 1914).
The church was not to be formally dedicated until 5 years later (1919) after World War I finished.
Today the basilica is one of the most famous sights in Paris and since it is on the highest elevation of Paris it has an amazing view over the city (including the Eiffel Tower).

The possible reasons for a bamboo plant turning yellow include over-fertilization, prolonged exposure to sunlight and over-watering. Most bamboo plants feature green leaves and stalks, but improper care can turn them yellow.Know More
The reason for yellow leaves or stems on a bamboo plant often depends on the type of bamboo. For example, Lucky Bamboo often turns yellow when the soil is over-fertilized. When Lucky Bamboo is grown in water with no soil, it requires fertilization every other month; for soil plantings, fertilize it every 30 days.
Excess water can also cause bamboo plants to turn yellow. The soil in which a bamboo stalk is planted should never be saturated. This causes the leaves to turn yellow and eventually fall off. A good rule of thumb is to pay attention to the leaves. If they start to curl and shrivel, the plant needs more water. When they start to turn yellow, they have too much water.
In some forms of bamboo, yellow leaves are an indication of sunlight exposure. Golden bamboo, for example, is usually grown in dense clusters. When the bamboo is thinned too aggressively, the stems might turn yellow.
Although yellow leaves might signify an unhealthy plant, bamboo plants grow back their leaves after they are lost. However, dead or cut stems will not grow back.Learn more about Outdoor Plants & Flowers
Downy mildew, uncontrolled leaf spot, or the presence of nematodes on the plant all cause yellowing of impatiens leaves. The specific problem can be pinpointed by observation of other common symptoms that occur in conjunction with the yellow leaves.Full Answer >
The leaves on a gardenia turn yellow when the air temperature is too cold or when the soil does not drain adequately. Yellow leaves also occur when the pH level of the soil is not between 5.0 and 6.5.Full Answer >
Nasturtium leaves turn yellow when there is a lack of adequate direct sunlight and damp, well-drained soil. Nasturtiums thrive when they're in direct sunlight for at least half a day with a combination of hot or warm days and cool nights.Full Answer >
Rosemary leaves can turn yellow because of cultural issues, whiteflies, botrytis blight and spider mites. Cultural issues are a common cause of yellowing rosemary leaves and occur when the plant's root system is too large for the container that it is planted in. This problem can be corrected by replanting the rosemary in a larger container or trimming the roots.Full Answer >

Mr. Dean’s interest in making this argument is understandable. While the 50-state approach was applauded by state party chairs — who welcomed the influx of Democratic National Committee money that allowed them to hire staff in their states — it was strongly criticized by Democratic congressional leaders in 2006. They wanted Mr. Dean to use
Looking back at this presidential election, there is no question that Mr. Obama competed in — and won — states where Democrats had been shut out for years. But was this really the result of Mr. Dean’s 50-state strategy?
Mr. Dean may indeed have foreseen that the Democratic Party was making a mistake in always focusing on the same handful of states. But as he argued, this was an investment that would take time to bear fruit. Again and again, he said the party had to think about its long-term growth, rather than just the next election or two. And a year in which Democrats were running against a party freighted by the most unpopular president in history — and amidan economic collapse — is probably not the best laboratory for measuring the success of his experiment.
The argument that Mr. Dean’s actions set the stage for Mr. Obama’s broad win in a presidential campaign may prove more problematic. The decision to expand the playing field was one of the defining strategies laid out by
The first factor was resources: Mr. Obama had so much money that he could afford to compete in all kinds of places that might, in another year, have seemed like long shots.
No less important a factor was the prolonged Democratic calendar, which kept Mr. Obama and Senator
And the campaigns became familiar with the politics and cultures of states that had not been part of the Democratic nominating process for years. Thus, Mr. Plouffe was arguing last spring, to often skeptical listeners, that demographic changes he was seeing in
The third factor was African-American voters in states like North Carolina and to a lesser extent Indiana , and even in
Mr. Dean sent resources into all these states. But one defining characteristic of the Obama campaign was the extent to which it insisted on keeping control over everything, often to the irritation of state Democratic leaders. Mr. Obama’s aides, while taking pains to praise Mr. Dean’s philosophical approach in trying to make the party more competitive in more states, said that the Obama campaign relied almost completely on its own staff, money and organization in making incursions into Republican states.
This is more than a simple who-should-get-the-credit post-election argument. Mr. Dean is very much thinking about his legacy after a campaign in which he was criticized for failing to mediate potentially divisive disputes among the candidates, for long-lasting fights over what to do about the disputed
Should his 50-state strategy be vindicated over the next few election cycles, the problems of 2008 will certainly be forgotten. For Mr. Dean, it’s simply too soon to call the question.
Mr. Dean is not seeking a second term in January, and his name is circulating as a possible secretary of health and human services. A post-Election Day memorandum arguing that he deserves some credit for helping to make Mr. Obama the nation’s 44th president can not hurt.
Mr. Dean, as can be forgotten considering his rise to national prominence as a losing presidential candidate in 2004 and as a highly combative party chairman now, is a medical doctor who, as former governor of
That said, the man who Mr. Dean fought bitterly and famously with over his 50-state strategy was Representative

Wow guys....sorry for the confusion here. I have been working like crazy lately, and I am a shift worker....so have not been around much. The way I
intended for the story to be was indeed for the next person to pick up where the story had left off. Myself and Titorite will be writing from a global
perspective, not just one character, we will basically be writing for all characters...EXCEPT the ones that I have talked about with Luder, etc.
Luder, hopefully I did not mislead you...if I did, I apologize. I am all for you having your own character. I could tell that is how you may be most
comfortable when writing. But, if you want to write that way, we would have to discuss when your character would come into play. He may not be in
there much now....but later, he would be a pivotal character....with lots of writing to be done. I just figured we would collaborate on it, and when
the time was right it could be just another part of the story from another aspect. You can still write in your character, and I hope you still will,
we just need to figure out when he will come in.
Mr. Toodles, your part of the story really jumped ahead of where we were currently at. I agreed to having you write as someone that is in charge of a
local militia group, and I still have no problem with that, but that part of the story needs to be closer to the actual event...as a matter of fact,
it would be coming up very soon. As I told Luder, if you want to write from only that perspective, that is fine, but we need to collaborate a bit more
and make sure that it is going to be at the right time and not jumping too far ahead. As I told Luder, I really hope that you will stay on board and
continue to write.
Guys (and ladies...lol), I realize that this is a different style of story writing. I wanted it to be different. I like to be able to write from the
perspective of ALL the characters, and not just be limited to one, but I realized that was not for everyone. I did not want to shut out other good
writers that may want to write from a single person's perspective. It does make it a little harder to write the story, but with proper collaboration,
we should not have any problems. There is a pro and a con to writing for just one person;
Pro: You alone will write for that character. others may talk about that character, but you will write the actual dialogue.
Con: You may not get to write as often as you would like.
Now, in your single character writing you will more than likely have to have conversations with some of the other characters, which means...you will
be doing some writing as the other characters. As long as you collaborate in the working thread with the other writers as to which direction we are
trying to go in, there should be no problem. That way, you don't take the character that you are not usually writing for in some off the wall
I hope this clears things up (clear as mud probably! LOL). I do not want any hard feelings with anyone here. These types of things are bound to happen
on a collaborative writing project guys, so let's not let this throw a kink in things! Let's go ahead and stop with the U2U's and only talk out in
the public forum about ideas. I think that will make it easier. Once again, I apologize if i have mislead anyone. I assure you that was not my
intention. i value all of your opinions, and I think that all of you have your own unique style to bring to the story.
I am going to write the next part of the story where Titorite left off. I will finish the New years Eve party and take us closer to spring/summer and
start getting things setup for the event. Mr. Toodles, please hang onto your last post, I am going to have it removed for right now, but it can be
used in the very near future. Thanks guys!

It is the time of Florence Nightingale, the Crimean War in 1854. How can an intelligent girl not want to follow in her footsteps?
This is the beginning of the novel, Rosa Barr follows Florence Nightingale in order to help her wounded compatriots. From then on, it drifts to the cousin who stays behind to Italy where Rosa's traces disappear. It has the tendency to drift into chick lit but fortunately finds its way back all the time. Not a bad read, a lot of different situations play into the story.

Please introduce yourself and your brand….
Hello I am Martha from Martha Mitchell Design. I produce homeware and gifts decorated with intricate illustrations of cities including, Liverpool, Manchester, London and my hometown – Brighton.
How would you describe your style and your creations?
My work is mainly black and white although there are new additions of colour this year including tea-towels and coasters. I aim to produce stylish and simple well made products for the home as well as gifts.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
I love doing the actual drawings for new ranges – I draw with 0.05 unipin pens which give a really fine line (I have to buy in bulk as they dry out quite quickly!) Although it is quite daunting when starting a new range I love researching all the different buildings to draw and finding out about new cities.
What can we expect to find on your stall at The Fairy Tale Fair Christmas Special at Brighton Open Market this November? And are you looking forward to taking part?
I am really looking forward to taking part in The Fairy Tale Fair – the Open Market is a brilliant venue so it is great top be surrounded by not only other stall holders but to also have a browse of the shops and cafes that are permanently at the market. As well as the new tea-towels and coasters I will have all my usual stock from mugs, jugs and prints to brooches, cards and teapots as well as lots more!
Do you have a best seller?
It would have to be my tea-towels and mugs, I am hoping to sell gift sets which will include a matching coaster too.
Do you have any plans or ambitions for the future?
I would love to create more ranges of different cities, I went to Copenhagen earlier in the year so a Copenhagen range would be great!
Do you have a motto or inspirational quote?
You can’t please all the people all the time
Describe your Christmas in 3 words…
sweets, games, shakin stevens (sorry that was four!)

Wolvestribe – The Politics of Survival – Technological Onslaught – Digital Release – 2020
I’ve reviewed Wovestribe on the blog last year, it’s great to see complex, Politically, ecologically charged Power Electronics based in the UK. I feel we are hitting a new era of excellence here, with Wovestribe being one of the new leading lights in the UK. On this recording Wolvestribe are Kshaatath, Harry Westwood and Dr Strange Love. The Politics of Survival is Wolvestribe’s 5th official release.
Deceit uses ruthless repetition of electronic zapping sounds for noises and samples to use as a base to go off around. This really holds back and simmers as if building a landscape on which to base the album. As the sound faulters out lower level distortion and shouting builds up. Field recording of nature begin Consume, until a sharp blast of distorted noise takes precedent. The underlying bass roar wavers as does the lead distortion and noise whilst vocals are buried into the sound. This builds to a violent onslaught, Survival* takes the mantle and continues a violent electronic, digital assault. The work really finds its pace here and we have an excellent sound that is forward thinking Power Electronics. I like the buried Techno aspect, not ‘Beat Shit’, just there and it continues to the Techno-Rot finale which goes back to the same violent repetition that Deceit used. The distortion wavers into everything, the vocal shouts in like articulate blasts as the work changes frequency, breaks up and explodes in a continual cycle.
Wolvestribe is heavyweight, no doubt about that.

I met her on the road to Castlecomer,
a basket of wild flowers on her arm.
Coming from the town of Ballyragget
A traveller lass that wandered all the land.
“Buy a pretty rose from me, please kind sir?
Help a traveller lass on this fine day,
foxgloves for a penny sir I’ll sell you,
Help a gypsy lass to pay her way”.
I asked if she was native to the county,
she told me she was born ‘neath Sieveardagh,
she heard the sound of wild birds in their singing,
as they welcomed her that fresh Kilkenny dawn.
“My mother washed my face in cold clear water,
she kissed me and she named me Kathleen Bawn
Won’t you buy a foxglove from me kind sir?
Help a traveller girl in life get on”.
“Perhaps you’d like if I would sing to you sir,
a dozen songs for sixpence I can do,
Some songs about the Suir and emerald valleys,
Dungarvan, Goresbridge, Graiguenamanagh too.
A song about that fellow they called Kelly,
that came from rebel stock down in Killann,
that made the lives of foreign foe a misery.
perhaps instead you’ll settle for a dance.
I heard not half the words the maid was saying,
Lost was I in the darkness of her eyes
I bought from her a necklace of fresh daisies
then off she went beneath the morning sky.
‘Twas long ago I chanced upon that creature,
I’ve searched for her these long years, but in vain,
Distressed I am that I had not the courage,
to tell her that I loved her there and then.
Perhaps she would have laughed at me in teasing,
Perhaps invited me to walk and court,
A bachelor I have been since that first meeting,
in the hope our paths would cross in this old world.
At nights I feel those tempting eyes beguile me,
recall that flaxen hair that hugged her waist,
Regretting I was trapped, lost in hypnosis,
How it haunts me now the beauty of that face.
“Buy a pretty rose from me please, kind sir?
Help a travelling lass on this fine day.
Foxgloves for a penny sir I’ll sell you,
help a gypsy lass to pay her way.
Perhaps a song or two you’ll let me sing you,
some daisies from my basket buy I pray”.
Oh how I rue that day and my misfortune,
When I let Kilkenny Kathleen get away.

The GIST: Thursday Night Football? We’re here for it. The surging Patriots hope to wrap up their stint in LA with another win and keep their slim playoff chances alive.
Move the chains: The Pats are back at SoFi Stadium tonight at 8:20 p.m. ET against the LA Rams, a much tougher test than the Pats’ last visit opposite the floundering LA Chargers. This is the first time the Pats will beat, er, we mean face the Rams since Super Bowl LIII (53). Head coach Bill Belichick outcoached Rams’ head coach Sean McVay that go-around, and we have faith he’ll do it again.
- Patriot quarterback (QB) Cam Newton and running back Damien Harris need to find a way to sustain the run game against LA’s defense, led by Ram defensive tackle Aaron Donald.
- The ground game is vital since the Pats have not found a ton of success through the air, as proven by Newton’s abysmally low 69-yard passing performance last week.
On the other side of the ball: Cornerback Stephon Gilmore will lead the charge in locking down the Rams’ wide receivers, notably Cooper Kupp. If the defense can fluster Ram QB Jared Goff into throwing interceptions like he did two weeks ago, it’ll bode well for the Pats.

(Mankato, MN) – The Minnesota State Patrol says alcohol may have been a factor in a Waseca County crash that injured two New Richland men Saturday night.
Aaron Michael Hullett, 22, was driving a Ford Ranger westbound on Highway 30 west of New Richland when he lost control of the vehicle and went off-road. The Ford struck a culvert near 110th Street, according to the state patrol.
The crash happened at 11:41 p.m. according to state patrol records.
Hullett and his passenger, Tyson Richard Palm, 28, both suffered non-life threatening injuries and were transported to Albert Lea for medical care.
Neither man was wearing a seat belt, and alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash, according to the state patrol’s crash report.
