QATAR LNG UP 50%
PLATTS published, the amount of LNG volume delivered to South Asia (India, Pakistan) from Qatar during the first half of the year climbed almost 50% year on year, taking advantage of weaker demand from East Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, China) and higher Qatari output.
Qatari LNG volume deliveries to South Asia hit 7,138,785 mt during January-June, up 46% in comparison with the first six months of last year.
Increases in deliveries from the world's largest LNG-exporting country were split between India and Pakistan at 6,045,886 mt and 1,092,899 mt respectively for the first six months of 2016.
In India, this was largely driven by a reworked supply contract between Petronet, the country's largest gas importer, and Qatar's Rasgas.
In December last year, the two companies renegotiated an existing 25-year supply deal for the delivery of 7.5 million mt/year after Petronet lifted 30- 32% below its contractually levels to September 2015.
Under the revised agreement, contracted volumes not taken in 2015 would need to be bought during the remaining term of the contract, and an additional 1 million mt/year was added to the total contract volume going forward.
Similarly, the uptick in deliveries to Pakistan was attributable to a new 15-year agreement with Qatargas for up to 3.75 million mt/year with was singed in February.
Deliveries from the contract started in March 2016, when there was a noticeable increase in Qatari deliveries to an average of three cargoes a month, up from an average of one cargo per month for the equivalent period last year.
Receipts into the Middle East (Dubai, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt) climbed by a similar amount between H1 2015 and H1 2016 (2,142,161 mt), resulting in a robust 202% annual increase.
This was mainly driven by increased deliveries to Egypt, which received two FSRUs over the course of 2015, allowing it to rapidly increase its imports, sourced through a combination of tenders and bilateral agreements.
The first FSRU was delivered in April 2015.
The second was delivered in October the same year, and was followed by an increase in average monthly deliveries from roughly two per month from April to October to subsequent average of approximately four cargoes per month.
The increase in Qatari LNG volume deliveries to South Asia and the Middle East were countered by weaker East Asian demand.
East Asian demand for Qatari LNG fell 13% year on year, dropping almost 3 million mt from 20,916,909 mt in H1 2015 to 18,115,559 mt in H1 2016. This was due to relatively milder weather in the region over the past year, resulting in both lower demand during the peak periods of winter and summer .
Meanwhile, in Europe (Turkey, Italy, Spain, France, Netherlands, UK, Poland) Qatari imports were broadly unchanged from H1 2015 at 8,515,373 mt, while H1 2016 exports to South America (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile) fell 33% compared with H1 2015 to 650,540 mt.
Total Qatari LNG exports rose 3% in H1 2016 relative to H1 2015 to 37,624,564 mt.

Overlooking Rome’s Piazza del Popolo, the Pincio Gardens (Pincio) have been present since the time of the ancient Romans. It is named for the Pincis, a noble Roman family whose estate was built on these grounds in the 4th century. The gardens were separated from the neighboring Villa Borghese by an ancient wall.
Filled with greenery, flowers, and bust statues of famous Italians, the present gardens were laid out in the 19th century. Tree-lined avenues were once (and still are) a grand place to go for a stroll. There’s also an obelisk and historic water clock located in the gardens. They are accessed via a steep, winding path up from the city. Once at the top, you’ll have one of the best views of Rome, looking out to rooftops, piazzas, and St. Peter’s Basilica. The panoramic outlook is arguably best at sunset.
The Pincio Gardens are located on the western edge of Villa Borghese. The nearest metro stop is Flaminio. It is also accessible on foot from the top of the Spanish Steps.


text: Abstract This study describes the distribution patterns of S. hermonthica infestation present in 117 farmers’ fields located in 61 villages in the three major cereal growing areas of Benue and Nasarawa states. A total of 1098 respondents were randomly selected proportionate to the number of households in all the zones. Striga count was taken using a quadrat and farmers’ fields were visually assessed using a five-category ranking (very high density,high density, medium, low, very low density) and recording the geo referenced data. On average, 67.3 and 3.2% of the surveyed area were infested with high and low density of Striga, respectively. The mean number of Striga plants per m2 was greater at Nassarawa State (one to eighteen plants m-2) than Benue State (one to twelve plants m -2). In Benue, the largest percentage of Striga infestation was recorded in Buruku (49.7%) and the lowest was obtained in Guma (38.3%). In Nassarawa, under sorghum cultivation, higher Strigadensties were recorded in Karu and Awe LGA; while Doma, Keana and Obi LGA recorded moderate Striga infestation. In both locations, Striga infestation was highest in sorghum fields; while millet fields recorded the least. About 40% and 35.4% of the farmers reported that new modern farming methods and Striga control copping strategies, respectively are received from Extension agents , during Monthly Technology Review Meeting (MTRM). The study has provided baseline information on the spread of S. hermonthica in the Southern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria and therefore, copping strategies for its control should be intensified.

After quarterbacking Illinois’ COVID-19 response for more than two years, Gov. JB Pritzker has tested positive for coronavirus and appears to have a mild case of the illness, his office announced Tuesday.
“I’ve tested positive for COVID-19 and am experiencing mild symptoms, but thanks to anti-viral medications like Paxlovid and vaccines I’ll be on the mend much quicker,” the governor said in a tweet. “Thank you for all the well wishes!”
A statement from the governor’s office noted Pritzker is vaccinated and double-boosted. It said the governor hopes to return to “in person work” as soon as possible.
Illinois, like the rest of the country, is seeing an increase of cases linked to the new, hyper-contagious variant of COVID-19.
As of Sunday, 1,387 people were hospitalized across the state with COVID-19, more than triple the number of coronavirus-related hospitalizations from the year’s low point in early April, when just 434 were hospitalized.
The statement from the governor’s office did not offer any sense as to where Pritzker may have contracted the illness.
But at least one attendee at a Saturday Democratic rally in Florida where the governor was the keynote speaker announced publicly she also came down with COVID-19. U.S. Rep. Val Demings, D-FL, announced her diagnosis on Monday.
Pritzker’s appearance at the event in Tampa stoked speculation that the governor may be testing the waters for a potential 2024 presidential run if President Joe Biden opts against seeking a second term. Pritzker made a similar appearance last month before Democrats in Manchester, N.H.
Pritzker campaign spokeswoman Natalie Edelstein characterized Demings and Pritzker as “close contacts” but said they didn’t meet with one another.
Edelstein also confirmed that “other staffers have recently tested positive and are working from home” but referred questions to Pritzker’s governmental press office.
Gubernatorial spokeswoman Jordan Abudayyeh said no one from Pritzker’s security detail that accompanied him to Tampa has tested positive but acknowledged the governor’s office has “had a few staffers test positive in the last week.”
She said a non-security staffer on the governmental payroll accompanied the governor to Tampa but wouldn’t identify that person nor divulge details about that person’s health status.

Back to Beijing
Back to Reality. Back to the 50-vocab words-per-night agenda. Back to the grindstone.
All cliches aside, I set to really study as much as I could. I feel that I really want to retain as much Chinese as possible, and in order to do that I should really immerse myself into the language pledge, study hard, and most importantly, have fun. That first week back, I went to a local park (the same park as my earlier post “That Time I Wanted to Be a Senior Citizen”) and realized that Beijing had changed! The flowers were blooming and the sun was out! My friends and I found a small grassy spot to sit in and take in the scenery while we did our homework.
A week later, I climbed the Fragrant Hills/Xiangshan Hills, which are near Beijing. Don’t be fooled by the word “Hill”: it was a mountain! Also, our group guide led us to one of the most difficult areas to climb, so when we got to the top, we were all sweating bullets (but saw other patrons who seemed to have taken another easier route…I saw one girl wearing high heels!) After we got to the top, we walked down to a rest area and picked up trash. There was a TON of trash, and we filled about 20 large black trash bags! Our group consisted of CET students as well as other Beijingers who really liked hiking/conserving the environment. I talked to some of them and asked them questions pertaining to their perspective of study-abroad students as well as their perspective on living in Beijing. When we got to the bottom of the mountain, I realized that we were in the Fragrant Hills Park!


Corruption charges against me ‘incorrect and untrue’, says Saraki
The Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki has described as ‘incorrect and untrue’ the alleged corruption levelled against him by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, just as he said that he has not been served the court process.
The Code of Conduct Tribunal was reported to have slammed a 13-count charge of corruption on Saraki on Tuesday. In a charge number ABT/01/15, dated September 11 and filed before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Senator Saraki was accused of offences ranging from anticipatory declaration of assets to making false declaration of assets in forms he filed before the Code of Conduct Bureau while he was governor of Kwara state.
But Saraki claimed in a statement released by his media office on Wednesday that he “has consistently declared his assets as required by law at every point before resuming any political office and that of 2015 is not an exception. It is surprising that the alleged charges is now referring his asset declaration made in 2003 while in office as Governor of Kwara State to formulate their charges. They, therefore, ignored the recent declaration for which they last week issued an acknowledgement.
“That we believe that the Code of Conduct Bureau following their processes in which after a declaration is submitted to the bureau they carried out verification of the assets and ascertained the claims made, should not wait till 12 years later to be pointing out an alleged inconsistencies in a document submitted to it in 2003. This same Dr. Saraki submitted asset declaration form in 2007, 2011 and 2015. It is unexplainable that the case in question is now based on the 2003 declaration.”
Saraki said he believed the charges against were politically motivated and stated that he was unshaken while also stating that contrary to the procedure indicated in the law setting up the CCB, the bureau never wrote to Dr. Saraki to complain of any inconsistency in his asset declaration forms.
“That some of the issues contained in the charge sheet are subjects of earlier decided and on-going Court cases. We, therefore, believe those behind the filing of these charges are engaging in forum-shopping.
“It should be noted that we do not know on whose authority these charges are filed when the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act clearly indicate that any prosecution must be authorised by an Attorney General and we know the nation last had an AG in May 2015. This is another clear indication that the CCT is acting under influence from outside its domain and, therefore ready to bend the rules to achieve this obnoxious objective
“We, therefore, conclude that this is not an anti-corruption driven case and cannot be part of the moves aimed at fighting corruption. It is simply a pure malicious and politically motivated prosecution aimed at undermining the person and office of the Senate President.
“That those behind this plot will definitely meet Dr. Saraki in court as this case which is based on outright fabrication and mischief will not and cannot stand the test of justice.”


Broken Records return with third album ‘Weights & Pulleys’ out May 19th on JSharp Records
You can hear the public stream of ‘Winterless Son’ here:
“There’s one word to describe this album and that’s ‘solid’: skilfull songwriting, immaculately executed, consistently excellent” – The Line Of Best Fit 8/10
“Beautifully restrained work, lush strings and gentle ripples of piano” Clash
“Stirring stuff instrumentally, the most compelling aspect is found in the beautiful vocals” The Fly
Following on from their critically acclaimed second album Let Me Come Home, May 19th marks the return of Broken Records with the release of their eagerly awaited third album ‘Weights & Pulleys’.
Recorded at their home base in Edinburgh, with the support of the National Lottery through Creative Scotland, they are set to release the album through their own newly created label, J Sharp Records.
Produced by Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Delgados, Belle & Sebastian) the album follows on from their recent EP as a visceral, cathartic body of work that revisits the masterful orchestration of the first album while combining the intense, relentlessly aggressive and turbulent sound of the last.
The album opens with the fragile ‘Ditty (We Weren’t Ready)’ that leads into the riveting and colossal ‘Winterless Son’. The intricate piano led ‘Toska’, also the track title of the recent EP, uncovers dark places within relationships. ‘So Long, So Late’, ‘Let’s Call It A Betrayal’ and ‘Leave You In The Dark’ flaunt driving guitar work, and the fluid rhythm section weaves between the raw but compelling vocals of Jamie Sutherland. The rolling rhythm of ‘You’ll Be Lonely (In A Little While)’ and uplifting brass of ‘Nothing Doubtful’ move away from the tempestuous songs preceding them.
Notably Broken Records have released through prestigious indie labels including 4AD (who released both previous albums) and other releases include Young Turks, Fandango and Distiller Records. They have toured with The National and Freelance Whales, and in 2010 headline toured the US. Their festival performances include Glastonbury, SXSW, T in the Park and a main-stage slot at Latitude.
Broken Records are Jamie Sutherland (vocals, guitar), Rory Sutherland (violin), Ian Turnbull (guitar), Dave Smith (piano, trumpet), Craig Ross (bass) and Andrew Keeney (drums).
Broken Records hit the road with their dynamic live show described as ‘without a weak link. Sutherland’s voice swoops from pitch-perfect falsetto to sonorous baritone without missing a note’ (Guardian). They are set announce some more summer and autumn live dates in support of the album shortly. In the meantime you can catch them here:

When buying ammunition in bulk and transporting it to the range, a high-quality ammo box is an excellent way to ensure that the ammo stays safe. A 250 rounds 9mm ammo box will also make it easier to carry all the ammo and not take the cardboard boxes to the range and have to dispose of when empty.
Selecting An Ammo Box
When looking for an ammo box to store your ammo in, the type of box you select, the size of the container, and the material the box is constructed from can all be vital. Originally ammo boxes were made from steel, and the ammo was packed in oilcloth to ensure it would not corrode.
Modern ammo boxes are often made from plastics, and many of them come with a rubber gasket around the top to ensure the ammo box is watertight. Because the boxes are plastic, they are very durable and lighter to carry than steel ammo boxes, and they are often quieter to transport.
Ammo Box Sizes
When you select a 250 round 9mm ammo box to store your ammunition in, it is essential that you find a box that is sized properly for the amount of ammunition you need to put in it. Many ammo boxes are made to fit specific size ammo, so if you buy a box designed for pistol ammo for rifle rounds, you may not be able to get the listed amount of ammunition in the box.
Ammo boxes are typically available for rifle ammo, pistol rounds, and shotgun shells, and the amount of ammo they will hold can vary as well. Your ammo box is typically going to be a large pistol ammo box, and you can find them at most gun shops, sporting goods stores, and many online retailers.
Storing Your Ammo Boxes
Once you have all the ammunition you want to store in the 250 round 9mm ammo box, you should find a safe place to put them inside and in a temperature-controlled environment. Placing the full ammo boxes on a shelf in a closet is an excellent way to ensure the ammo in the box maintains its temperature and will not condensate as a result of temperature changes.
If the ammo is stored in a hot area, the gunpowder will degrade, and the ammo will not fire correctly. Additionally, if it is stored in the cold, bringing it into a warm environment can promote condensation that can cause the ammunition to rust or corrode. It is also a good idea to label any ammo boxes you are using with the date that the rounds were put in the box so that you can use the oldest ammunition first.
For more information on a 250 rounds 9mm ammo box, contact a company near you.Share

The Westminster Retable History, technique, conservation (Painting and Practice)
The late 13th-century Westminster Retable is rightly celebrated as one of the most beautiful and enigmatic panel paintings to have survived from medieval Europe. Its history is not without tragedy. It was made in the Westminster Abbey, one of the most prestigious Gothic churches of the thirteenth century, itself a treasure-house of medieval wall and panel painting; then, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it was demoted rapidly to use as part of a large cupboard; its ruination in the eighteenth century just pre-dated the Gothic Revival and its rediscovery and rescue. Since then, it has intrigued commentators because of its extraordinary technical mastery, its value as an ornamental resource for study and, more recently, as an important if fragmentary link in the history of painting in England and France in the thirteenth century. There is every reason to believe that its standing as an artwork was apparent even in the Middle Ages, and that, in short, it may be seen as one of the central monuments of Anglo-French Gothic painting. You can download an order form and order directly from the publisher.
There is more information about the retable on our website.

Thornham Parva Retable (Painting and Practice)
The Thornham Parva Retable is Britain's largest and most complete medieval altarpiece. It was found in a loft above a stable at Thornham Hall in Suffolk in 1927; soon afterwards it was installed in the small thatched church of St Mary, Thornham Parva in Suffolk. In 1994 the Thornham Parva Retable was moved to the Hamilton Kerr Institute for examination and conservation. This book is an account of that process. The examination of the Retable is placed in context by discussion of medieval painting techniques and methods of manufacture including the medieval timber trade. A comparison with other similar surviving medieval paintings is presented, and the use of tin-relief decoration, which is a prominent feature of the Retable, is discussed. An important aspect of the conservation of the Retable included the provision of a stable environment within the church. The book may be ordered directly from the publisher, Brepols.

Metastatic breast cancer (also called stage IV) is cancer that has spread to other parts of the body outside of the breast and lymph nodes, such as the lungs, liver, bones or brain. Many factors determine the best course of treatment, including where it has spread, your symptoms and the type of tumor (for example, if it is hormone receptor positive or negative). While metastatic breast cancer cannot be cured, there are numerous treatment options and many people are able to live long, happy lives after this diagnosis. New treatments are continually being developed.
Treatment for Metastatic Breast Cancer
Treatment may include any combination of the following therapies, either together, separately or in sequence.
Hormone therapy is often used when tumors are hormone receptor positive. Examples include tamoxifen, fulvestrant and aromatase inhibitors such as letrozole. They often can help slow or stop the growth of the cancer, and can shrink some tumors.
Targeted therapies block cancer growth by targeting specific characteristics of breast cancer cells. These treatments may be an option for women with metastatic breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive, women with metastatic breast cancer that is HER2/neu-positive, women with triple negative breast cancer, and women with metastatic breast cancer that is HER2-negative, with mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.
Immunotherapy uses medications that target immune checkpoint inhibitors, which are proteins on immune cells that have turned off the body's immune response. Breast cancer cells sometimes use these checkpoints to avoid being attacked by the immune system. Immunotherapy drugs target these checkpoint proteins and stimulate the body to recognize and attack breast cancer cells.
Chemotherapy may be used in women with metastatic breast cancer that is hormone receptor-negative, has not responded to hormone therapy, has spread to other organs or has caused symptoms. Chemotherapy may be given alone or in combination with immunotherapy in women with metastatic breast cancer that is hormone receptor-negative and HER2-negative.
Surgery and/or radiation therapy may be used to remove cancer that has spread to areas such as the brain, spine or lung, to support and strengthen bones, and to prevent or relieve pain or other symptoms.
Clinical trials testing new breast cancer treatments and treatment combinations are continually being developed, and we offer our patients enrollment in applicable clinical trials.

Why MMH should be part of all routine care
If you have been following Miracle Babies on social media (@mybrainmybaby & @miraclebabies), you have seen a lot of our advocacy work around maternal mental health, aka MMH. MMH was not even an acronym I had been using as a clinician in the social work world, as I had been accustomed to using PMAD (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) or PPD (postpartum depression). We love an acronym in this life, and mental health and the medical field are not immune to this. Weve learned that MMH is a better term for everything we want to cover for the focus of Miracle Babies mental health initiative. Maternal Mental Health is the umbrella term for all things mental health during the time period of conception up until the first year postpartum. Now, this is not to say mental health is not important before and after that time period for a family. However, research indicates that women are more likely to experience mental health conditions related to having a child during that time specific time period. In fact, it is estimated that 1 in 5 women will experience an MMH condition annually in the US, which is upwards of 800,000 women a year. During the pandemic, preliminary research shows that increased threefold. What this means is everyone should pay close attention to any mothers, even more so when a complication occurs be it during pregnancy or after. High-risk pregnancies, NICU admissions, prior history of trauma, mental health history, prior pregnancy/infant loss, low socioeconomic status, and being a person of color ALL increase your risks for MMH beyond the 1 in 5 statistics.
Miracle Babies has always had a keen awareness of the importance of the bond of parents to their newborn child, particularly when a medical crisis such as NICU admission shifts the ability of parents to be with their baby in the way everyone pictures postpartum. When mental health is not addressed, this is a huge hamper to anyones ability to cope with daily life, let alone increased crises that may be occurring during pregnancy or postpartum. At Miracle Babies, we are so proud to be able to launch My Brain and My Baby, a maternal mental health initiative. We aim to shift maternal mental health to a basic need so that it is screened for and addressed in the same way as food, shelter, and water. MMH is the most common complication of pregnancy and childbirth and deserves to have a much higher focus, as it is more common than gestational diabetes and preeclampsia combined. Our services will provide free maternal mental health for any mother regardless of the type of insurance. We are first piloting with high-risk pregnancies, to work on prevention with early detection and intervention. We cant wait to share more as our program unfolds.

Death—or its watered-down digital equivalent—was never too far-off in the arcade classics of yesteryear. Whether it's angry ghosts in primary colors from Pac-Man or a missed jump in Super Mario Bros, players never forgot that they were surrounded by end-of-life scenarios.
Maybe that awareness is what makes these game-focused creations from California artist Senor Chips so great. His work riffs off the traditional Day of the Dead dioramas called calacas and touches on other pop cultural favorites like Tron, Hello Kitty and South Park. Nerd collective Iam8bit will be showcasing Chips' work in a free gallery show that opens this Friday.
Halloween's right around the corner. So, this is the perfect place to be if you've got a craving to look at a little skull-headed version of Charlie Brown miss out on kicking the football. Turns out that's a pretty great thing to see.

About This Project
In the Willamette Valley, there are mysterious stands of aspen far separated from any other wild aspens, whose origin is completely unknown. We believe these trees were brought here by cataclysmic floods originating in Montana ≈15,000 years ago. Through in-depth genetic comparison of these “lost aspens" with others throughout the west, we can determine their origin. This could be the first study showing dispersal of any species by massive floods.
Ask the ScientistsJoin The Discussion
What is the context of this research?
During the late Pleistocene epoch, an ice sheet stretched across Canada with lobes reaching into WA and MT, damming the Clark Fork River in western MT. This created a massive lake known as Glacial Lake Missoula, and 15,000 years ago, the dam broke. This caused a series of catastrophic floods with discharges more than ten times the combined flow of all rivers on earth, scarring the landscape forever. Some of the waters back-eddied into the Willamette Valley, depositing massive boulders, fertile soils, and potentially living trees that persist today! The location, structure, and proximity of these aspens to flood deposits suggests that they were not planted, but originated somewhere in the flood's path. Sequences in their DNA can be analyzed in-depth to indicate their true origin.
What is the significance of this project?
The Missoula floods were a major force shaping the Pacific Northwest ecoregion. They are well known in native American folklore, and literally sculpted the valleys and soils in a major part of this region. Understanding how they have also shaped the distribution of forest trees will add to our knowledge and love of this amazing part of the planet. No previous research has shown how biblical-style floods can reshape biological distributions, so this research would allow us to better understand the natural history of our region, as well as dynamics that shape biological communities worldwide.
What are the goals of the project?
We will genetically fingerprint the lost aspens and the potentially related populations of aspens in our region, then publish the results. We will:1. Finish collection of all 100 samples2. Extract DNA from all samples3. Make "DNA libraries' and check their quality4. Sequence those libraries with a method called GBS, producing millions of data points per tree for an in depth genetic fingerprint5. Analyze genetic fingerprints with computer programs to determine the evolutionary relationships of aspens in the region, and thus their likely origin6. Publicize results to all contributors and offer seedlings of flood aspens to major donors (of over $100) if our hypothesis is correct7. Publish results in newspapers and a conservation journal
We are asking for funding to allow us to complete this amazing project. We have already collected samples and DNA from dozens of trees; we need funds to complete the DNA collections and extractions, create “gene libraries” for high intensity genetic analysis (GBS: genotype by sequencing for the gene geeks out there), and analyze the mountains of data we will obtain.

CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago authorities are reporting seven people, including a 14-year-old boy, have been shot at a Laundromat in the city's South Shore neighborhood.
The Chicago Fire Department reports four of the shooting victims were found Monday inside the laundry. Three victims were found on the street outside the business.
Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford says the 14-year-old victim was found a block away from the scene of the shootings. He was taken in critical condition to the University of Chicago's Comer's Children Hospital.
Other shooting victims were reported in good to critical condition and were taken to other hospitals.

1st stop: UK
Become a great ambassador of GB design and engineering and manufacturing expertise
2nd stop: a 12,000 mile reach
And then export this expertise around the globe
"anywhere - without going there"
So, here goes…
When Homo Sapiens start building on Mars we want to be invited...
Not to do the bricklaying or the groundworks (noble achievements as those will be), nor do we want to go there (particularly!), but we want to be asked to design, engineer, manufacture, install, and maintain the undoubtedly High Performance Metal Doors that will be needed.
And for that we need to be able to do all these things autonomously, without being there.
That is our aim.
And, what we know is that striving to achieve the technology and design that will be required to manufacture, install, and maintain our products "anywhere, without going there" will push the boundaries of product performance and whole-life reliability and maintainability way beyond the current status quo.
And this product performance and reliability, and the technology and development involved, will be super useful to the rest of us human beings here on planet earth.
Now, whether these doors will be designed for floods or not depends a bit on what NASA’s Mars 2020 Rover finds, but, whatever the need, we want it put our way.
Hence Stop 1 and Stop 2: to design and engineer and manufacture the highest specification Metal Doors & Gates this planet needs; whether in Tokyo or deep in Antarctica (see video), whether on the International Space Station (have you spotted it recently?) or the Nicaraguan Canal project (will this ever go ahead?), whether on the new US Embassy in London or on the next Camp Bastion (see how the original one is now), we have to qualify for 'project Mars' by being the 'go-to' people on earth when the demands are the greatest.
We think this will be a little contribution towards keeping the UK firmly on the world map (and one day, perhaps, the solar system map).
Be part of the journey!

Objectives: To understand healthcare professionals' experiences and perceptions of nurses' potential or ideal roles in pharmaceutical care (PC).
Design: Qualitative study conducted through semi-structured in-depth interviews.
Setting: Between December 2018 and October 2019, interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals of 14 European countries in four healthcare settings: hospitals, community care, mental health and long-term residential care.
Participants: In each country, pharmacists, physicians and nurses in each of the four settings were interviewed. Participants were selected on the basis that they were key informants with broad knowledge and experience of PC.
Data collection and analysis: All interviews were conducted face to face. Each country conducted an initial thematic analysis. Consensus was reached through a face-to-face discussion of all 14 national leads.
Results: 340 interviews were completed. Several tasks were described within four potential nursing responsibilities, that came up as the analysis themes, being: 1) monitoring therapeutic/adverse effects of medicines, 2) monitoring medicines adherence, 3) decision making on medicines, including prescribing 4) providing patient education/information. Nurses' autonomy varied across Europe, from none to limited to a few tasks and emergencies to a broad range of tasks and responsibilities. Intended level of autonomy depended on medicine types and level of education. Some changes are needed before nursing roles can be optimised and implemented in practice. Lack of time, shortage of nurses, absence of legal frameworks and limited education and knowledge are main threats to European nurses actualising their ideal role in PC.
Conclusions: European nurses have an active role in PC. Respondents reported positive impacts on care quality and patient outcomes when nurses assumed PC responsibilities. Healthcare professionals expect nurses to report observations and assessments. This key patient information should be shared and addressed by the interprofessional team. The study evidences the need of a unique and consensus-based PC framework across Europe.

Converting Mesh Data to a Raster
After creating a mesh in SMS, you may want to share the data in the mesh as a raster file. For example, you might want to convert the water elevation or velocity dataset from a model run into a raster. Raster files can be opened by many programs and can contain a lot of useful information.
While a raster cannot be created directly from the Mesh module, it can be created from other modules, so the mesh data will need to be converted. To do this:
- In the Project Explorer, select the mesh you want to convert to a raster.
- Right-click and select Convert | Mesh to 2D Scatter.
- In the Convert Mesh to Scatter Points dialog, use the Convert only corner nodes option and give the scatter set a name.
After the mesh has been converted to a scatter set, a couple more things have to be done. The datasets, except for the elevation set, will need to then be interpolated over to the scatter set.
- In the Project Explorer, right-click on the mesh and select Interpolate to command.
- In the Interpolation Options dialog, select the datasets to interpolate over to the scatter set generated from the Mesh.
Once the mesh and datasets have been converted to the Scatter module, they can be converted to a raster by doing the following:
- Select the dataset and time step to be converted.
- In the Project Explorer, right-click and select Convert | Scatter to Raster.
- Select raster options in the Interpolate Scatter to Raster dialog.
- Give the raster a file name and save it as a GeoTIFF.
When going through this process, the active dataset and the active time step at the time of the conversion will be the information saved to the GeoTIFF file.
Feel free to try out the above process of converting a mesh dataset to a raster file in SMS today!


A letter to Mr. Loïc Fauchon, President of the World Water Council:
Dear Mr. Fauchon,
At the recent meeting of President Obama and Prime Minister Cameron, they said: ".....As two of the world’s wealthiest nations, we embrace our responsibility as leaders in the development that enables people to live in dignity, health and prosperity....."
When you launched the 6th World Water Forum this week, you succinctly described what needs to be provided for 'people to live in dignity, health and prosperity', when you said ".....first and foremost, energy and water so they can finally pull themselves out of poverty....."
The developing world is now and will be, for a couple of decades to come, spending £billions or maybe even £trillions on coal fired power stations. And who can blame them, with 40,000 people per day dying from preventable diseases, for the sake of affordable energy and potable water?
Coal fired power stations use and contaminate vast volumes of fresh water to cool the waste heat from the steam turbines used to generate electricity. This heat, which contains nearly two thirds of the heat from the coal, is truly wasted.
In the 50s and 60s, whilst the UK trod a path to a nuclear technology dead end, the US Administration withdrew funding to technological development of Molten Salt Breeder Reactors (MSBRs) in what is surely the 'Saddest Accident of History'. See: http://lftrsuk.blogspot.com/2012/03/follow-up-to-i... .
MSBRs, now known as Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors (LFTRs), use gas turbines to drive the electrical generators and the 'waste' heat from these (just over half of what the reactor produces) is at a high enough temperature to desalinate water. So, nothing is 'wasted'; huge volumes of potable water can be produces from brackish ground water or sea water - and the running (energy) costs are next to nothing.
Can your Organisation communicate this information to the Heads of State of the developing world, to create an opportunity for them to urgently debate this issue? Getting the first-of-a-kind LFTR up and running, for a minuscule amount of money will get investment stimulated to the point that venture capitalists and fund managers should be knocking the door down to get into the most essential technology of the 21st Century.
In the days of slide rules and compasses, when all machining and planning was done manually, the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) was funded in 1960, switched on in 1965 and ran for many thousands of full power hours until 1969. The MSRE was two thirds of what a LFTR is, so in these days of CAD/CAM, computerised 3D modelling and planning, with the right will, a LFTR could be ready for action in 5 years. Within not much more than a decade, we could have factory built, transportable modular units coming off production lines. Their safety is inherent, their 'greenness' unrivaled and their affordability half that of equivalent, conventional nuclear power plant. See: http://lftrsuk.blogspot.com/p/benefits-of-lftrs.ht...
And, incidentally, LFTRs emit no CO2 or other greenhouse gasses, so political Nirvana awaits developing world politicians, who can not only satisfy their own National needs, but reap the benefits forthcoming from the grateful communities of the developed world, stupefied by fears of global warming.
In hoping you can help and take some action, I remain,

Cleveland, Ohio, is credited with installing the first electric traffic signal in 1914. Prior to the electric signal were “stop” and “go” signs that police officers manually rotated to control traffic. In the 1910s and 1920s, there were few standards for traffic signals; design and placement was at the discretion of each city. Many cities employed the traditional red, green, and yellow system that was used by the railroads (and eventually became the traffic signal standard), while others used only the red and green or a completely different system of colors. In 1935, the tri-color, four-way traffic signal became standard.
Below are a variety of early traffic signals. Traffic towers, seen on the left, were used in larger cities. The two-light signal, in the center, was common before the three-light standard. The "slow" signal in the image on the right appeared in many cities around Vermont; these often appeared on curves or where automobiles and streetcars intersected.

A mobile gambling game is a gaming platform that allows players to play a variety of casino games. These games are designed for use on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Players can download the games and access them through the Internet. These games may offer different types of bonuses and features depending on the type of game. Some of them even allow players to gamble for real money. Some of these games are free to play while others require a subscription fee.
The mobile gaming industry is rapidly growing. As a result, many companies are developing new and innovative products that will attract more players. For example, the mobile poker game Poker Face introduced video chat during gameplay, which attracted a lot of attention. Developers of mobile gambling games are also constantly improving the gameplay to make it more fun and exciting. This will increase player engagement and improve the overall quality of the games.
Mobile gaming is a great way to pass time while on the go, but it’s important to be responsible and only wager what you can afford. This is especially true for those who are playing with friends or family members. It’s also a good idea to avoid sharing sensitive information about yourself or your bank account with other players in the game.
Most mobile casinos have a website that can be accessed through a standard browser. However, some have opted to create a dedicated app that provides a more immersive experience. Generally, the apps outperform the websites in terms of usability and functionality. This is because the apps are optimized for a seamless gaming experience and accessory integration on a specific device. In addition, the apps have access to the full power of a device’s processor and GPU.
In terms of monetization, mobile gaming offers many opportunities for developers. In-game advertisements are the most common form of monetization for free-to-play mobile games. In-app purchases are also popular, but they tend to be used to buy virtual coins or other in-game perks that players cannot convert back into real money.
There are also a number of specialized m-gaming apps that have been designed for particular purposes. For example, some apps are aimed at helping people manage their finances while gambling, while others are designed for social networking and communication with other users. These apps are usually downloaded by gamers who want to have more control over their gambling habits and spending patterns. As the mobile gaming market grows, so will its monetization potential.

Voting for the 73rd NBA All-Star Game, which will take place on Sunday, February 18 in Indianapolis, starts today December 19, and ends on January 20. As always, fans, NBA players, and media members will combine to select this season’s ten All-Star starters. NBA coaches select the reserves for both conferences.
Fan votes count 50 percent in this equation while the other two parties combined for the other half. So, don’t miss out! Your vote matters.
How does the fan voting work?
To vote for the 2024 All-Star starters fans simply need a free NBA ID. To sign up, click here. Once that is done, fans can submit one full ballot every day on NBA.com or in the NBA App, selecting two guards and three frontcourt players for each conference.
On six days—December 25, January 5, January 12, January 15, and January 19–votes will count three times, so keep those dates in mind to ensure that your favorite players get as many votes as possible.
Updates on the fan votes will be made public on the first three Thursdays in January, and TNT will reveal the final results on TV. The starters will be announced on January 25 and the reserves on February 1 during TNT NBA Tip-Off.
Which Sacramento Kings should be on your ballot?
Technically, fans are free to put any of their favorite players on their All-Star ballot but not everyone has the same chances. For the Kings, De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis are the two players who have legitimate cases to make the All-Star team.
Both have been All-Stars before, but never as starters. Fox’s first selection last season was actually as an injury replacement for Stephen Curry, but this season, he is playing even better and deserves to be more than just a second thought in the All-Star conversation.
The West is tough, though, with a lot of star power, and some deserving players will miss out on the honor. So, every Kings fan should definitely have De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis on their ballot because they are deserving of a spot and will need every vote.

All: This is such a complex issue drawing many opinions. The one common denominator is no one is happy about it. I received an interesting e-mail today on companies that do and do not buy off shore oil. If the oil company profits are in check with the std then I would still want to spend my money on a company that does not import oil from the Middle East or Ven. This info is avail from Dept/Energy. I have used Shell gas for 20 years and will change to Sunoco. The price per gal is the same for both companies...$3.59/gal.
The idea here is to boycott the oil demand to the Middle East to drive down the prices.

Man City Planning Big Four Spending
Premier League cashbag Manchester City are reportedly preparing mega bids for four of the best footballers in Europe in the summer of 2009.
According to The Times, Manchester City are planning to launch huge bids for four of Europe’s best players. The Eastlanders are reportedly eager to sign the rejuvenated Thierry Henry from Catalan giants FC Barcelona as well as Franck Ribery from German powerhouse Bayern Munich.
But it must be said that Santa Cruz is the only player among the above mentioned four whom Manchester City can sign. Henry is enjoying his best spell in Spain at the moment and is a regular starter, Ribery has options to move to Barcelona or Real Madrid and Terr has vowed his entire career to Chelsea.

Step by step tutorial demonstrating how to install a sewer lateral pipe. This video applies to commercial and residential sewage applications.
In the developed world, sewers are usually pipelines that begin with connecting pipes from buildings to one or more levels of larger underground trunk mains, which transport the sewage to sewage treatment facilities. Vertical pipes, called manholes, connect the mains to the surface. The manholes are used for access to the sewer pipes for inspection and maintenance, and as a means to vent sewer gases. They also facilitate vertical and horizontal angles in otherwise straight pipelines. Sewers are generally gravity powered, though pumps may be used if necessary.

Online Internet marketing business guru Charles Bim was voted the best Internet Marketing consultant in an online survey in Singapore. He shared top-secret strategies that will allow business owners to see their brand go up the highest position in search engine results with minimum effort with the new ranking showed up in just a few minutes. Charles Bim, who led an intensive tutorial, is especially focused on helping business owners, online marketers, affiliate marketers and digital professionals get free traffic and capture leads through his business, Big Idea Mastermind; it is highly relevant and applicable for internet marketers as well as brands across all industries. The step-by-step process on how to get free traffic using press releases was detailed through a presentation by other leading marketing experts led by Charles Bim.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get ongoing targeted traffic? To live wherever you want in the world? To have money flowing in daily at $ 100, $ 1,000 or $ 5,000 a day, whether you work or not? says Charles Bim. Then you should start to diversify your income streams in 2013.
According to Charles Bim, having only one source of income in Singapore is a highly risky route, as shown by the recent economic crisis that shook the world and tested the confidence of the regularly employed, average salary earner. He believes the only way to ensure ones own financial stability is to look for multiple income streams, which is just what Big Idea Mastermind can help provide, one of the highest paying and most celebrated affiliate programs on the Internet today. In order to fully maximize the 100% commissions on multiple best-selling information and training products offered by Big Idea Mastermind, members are encouraged to work on being the best internet marketing professionals and master the most cutting edge internet marketing tools and strategies that exist today.
For Charles Bim, one of the most winning weapons of most successful marketers is their PR expertise. He believes anyone with a solid product knowledge can already be considered as a branding expert, and the right PR strategy can cover the most crucial concerns business owners face – and willing to teach the most cutting edge techniques if they are willing to work with him: resolving Google issues such as Penguin and Panda updates and the switch to Google localized searches, ensuring effective promotion and branding campaigns, conducting reputation management, attracting relevant traffic, among others, including resolving problems even if you dont know what the problems are.
Charles Bim and guest Taggart (more popularly known as Michael X in online marketing circles) demonstrate a surprisingly simple, yet proven highly foolproof way to harness the power of the press release. My goal is to ensure your success and a flow of traffic to your websites, Bim says.

God has called you to greatness. The scripture teaches us in Mark 11:23 if we speak to the mountain and do not doubt in our hearts, but believe what we have spoken then the mountain will be removed.
Have you ever felt like quitting? Have you ever quit something because the obstacles you faced were difficult? I want you to imagine a white flag of surrender. Similarly, imagine a hand towel, one you wave every time you quit, give up, go the other way and back down.
Every quit towel is associated with an emotion and experience.
Mountains in the scripture are symbolic of obstacles and barriers. You do not negotiate with a mountain, debate a mountain nor settle with it in your way. You command the mountain to be removed. You can go through the mountain, around the mountain, under the mountain, over the mountain it doesn’t matter your style or preference but if there is one thing for sure you need to get past the mountain.
Do not settle for throwing your quit towel in the air. Do not be afraid to step out because of past experiences. Your destiny is calling you. Your future is depending on you. And greatness awaits you. It’s not a matter of how long the dream takes, it’s a matter of how bad you want it. Do not quit building what is your heart. God would not have put it there if He didn’t have provision for the vision.
Decide to live a life of no excuses. People often give up and quit, throwing up their quit towel because they are led by emotions, feelings, rejection, fear, disappointments, frustration and settling.
People are waiting on you, to be where you need to get to, in the timing God ordained. Are you on track? If you are in a state where you have already quit, do not hesitate to begin again, live again and dream again.
When Goliath came out to fight the children of Israel, they had been in battle for 40 days. David defeated Goliath. It’s a historic story. Note that on the 40th day the Giant fell and Israel defeated the enemy.
If Goliath, who was a giant and symbolic of a mountain stood towering over an army, intimidating and stirring fear — fell after 40 days. Your mountains can fall too. What mountain is standing in your way? Believe the Word of the Lord. Believe you can declare and decree God’s goodness, mercy, favor and blessings.
The moment you release the Word of God, is the moment the mountain begins to move. It might not manifest immediately, but it has already begun to move. The scripture tells us Elisha told the King of Israel there would be food this time tomorrow and more than enough. The exact time and thing promised, was the exact time and thing of execution; it occurred as Elisha had spoken. The mountain of famine ended the moment they spoke to it. What is it that needs to be removed in your life?
Don’t limit God. Speak to the mountain and command it to be removed!
You could be one spoken word away from seeing the mountain removed. But if you don’t burn your quit towel, you will give up and walk away. What if your solution is on the other side of the mountain and if you don’t speak to the mountain and believe, then you will not receive the solutions, increase, promises, promotions, and successes on the other side of the mountain?
It all begins and starts with burning your quit towel. It begins with speaking to the mountains in your life and commanding them to get out of the way.
Don’t look at where you are as an impossible starting point. God says speak to the mountain and it will be moved if you don’t doubt in your heart but believe. You are loved, appreciated, respected, full of His wisdom, highly favor, an over comer, and winning.
— Mark Brown is senior pastor of Faith City Church in Cedar Park.

Water and Energy
The World Bank has approved a $US 73 million grant to continue the development of the Inga 3 hydropower project, the first in a series of large dams planned for the Congo River, Inter Press Service reported. The Grand Inga project would give the Democratic Republic of Congo the third highest hydropower potential in the world, but nongovernmental groups have warned that the controversial project could serve industries to the detriment of communities and the environment.
The production of oil, natural gas, biofuels and other forms of energy will likely put increasing stress on the planet’s water resources and intensify competition between water users, the United Nations said in a new report on water and energy, Bloomberg News reported. The vast majority of water used by the industrial sector goes to power generation, and both electricity demand and the amount of water needed to supply it are expected to grow in the coming decades.
More than 60 million gallons of coal ash wastewater pumped from Duke Energy power plants into a North Carolina river exceeded routine maintenance and were instead violations of the plants’ permits, according to state regulators, The New York Times reported. Both the company and the state’s regulatory process are being scrutinized following a spill of coal ash from one of Duke’s plants earlier this year.
A drought in the Middle East is compounding water scarcity problems in Jordan, where demand has risen due to a growing population of refugees, and supplies are shrinking due to overuse and waste, the Guardian reported. Supplies may be augmented by a desalination and water transfer project scheduled for 2018 that would desalinate water from the Red Sea for drinking and pump the leftover brine to restore the Dead Sea.


Wireless Automation Systems: Resetting Your Router
Nearly every home in America connected to the internet utilizes a wireless router/modem device. In your home, the device may be provided by your ISP or you may have one that you own. Regardless, you know there are times when your internet service seems to stop dead in its tracks, requiring you to reset the router by turning it off and back on again. You may find you have to do this more frequently after installing a wireless home automation system.
With hundreds of millions of global Internet users connecting billions of devices every day, it would be impossible to assign static IP addresses to everything. So ISPs have to assign dynamic addresses (‘dynamic’ means they change) to connected routers. The routers turn around and assign dynamic IPs to the devices connected to them. But just like a desktop or laptop computer, routers hold onto old information that may have changed with the assignment of a new IP address. Eventually, a router’s internal memory can fill up and simply stop working. That’s why you need a reset.
Home Automation Uses Tremendous Resources
Wireless home automation systems, because they are running and communicating constantly, use a tremendous amount of the resources on a limited wi-fi network. This presents a couple of challenges. First, older routers that are more than 3 or 4 years old do not tend to handle complex automation systems very well. They just don’t have the robust power needed by current automation technology.
Second, even modern routers on the entry-level end of the scale may suffer performance issues if weighed down by home automation. They require more frequent resets to keep them functioning. If a homeowner has to reset a router more than once a month, it might be time to upgrade to something better able to handle the traffic.
Here’s how to know when your router is struggling to keep up:
- Dropped IP Addresses – Wireless routers assign temporary digital leases to connected devices. If you connect your smartphone to your network whenever you are home, its digital lease should never expire. A frequently expiring lease that results in your phone constantly getting a new IP address suggests your router is dropping leases to free up limited resources.
- Slow Internet Access – With the average broadband connection, it shouldn’t take more than a few seconds to load a basic web page that isn’t heavy on graphics or videos. If you find your web browser is slowing down when accessing your favorite sites, do a reset and see what happens. A temporary performance boost tells you the router is slowing down over time.
- Stalled Service – Some routers will get so bogged down they eventually stall internet service altogether. You’ll bring up the browser on your computer, but it will simply not load the page – even though you are connected to your local network. A reset will fix it, but it also indicates an upgrade is in order.
Wireless home automation systems can put a lot of stress on wi-fi networks. Your best bet for avoiding problems is to purchase a router with as much internal RAM as possible. Purchasing a dual-band router is even better. It would allow you to completely separate your home automation system on its own band.
One last suggestion is to purchase a recycling device. This device plugs into a wall outlet and can be programmed to reset the router at any time of the night or day. You could reset yours in the middle of the night without cutting the power supply to your home automation and security devices.
