Brown suggests that Detroit Public Schools, the Detroit Public Library system and the city's recreational department should be merged into one entity. While the city of Detroit governs the rec centers, DPS and DPL are each governed by separate boards.
The libraries are facing an "unprecedented" fiscal crisis that could mean branch closures and other cuts. DPS is closing several schools this year, and city departments are wrestling with a $155 million deficit.
It's Brown's second major suggestion to refurbish the city's public services to accommodate budget deficits; earlier this year, Brown also suggested hiring civilians to perform administrative duties at police precincts.
No legislation has been put forth yet, but Brown is hoping discussion about merging the departments can begin soon. Listen to his plan in the video below.

No other casting news has been confirmed, but so far, we know that Brad Weston will produce the film with Definition Entertainment’s Nick Styne and that Mark Sourian will serve as executive producer. Mark Boal is reportedly in negotiations to write the script, while journalist and tech expert Scott Galloway is in talks to consult.
Netflix has yet to comment on the project, but sources have revealed that the film's purpose is to, per Deadline, "shine a light on the phenomenon of how social media has leveled the playing field and allowed the masses to challenge status quo gatekeepers, for good and bad."
After the GameStop drama caused the stock price to skyrocket, there's been a huge ripple effect on Wall Street. Given that Netflix wasted no time in grabbing the opportunity to recount this chaotic turn of events, we imagine that other streaming services will be following suit.
If you need us, we'll be patiently awaiting more deets.

|Austria: Entitlements to overtime pay|
Contributed by Graf & Pitkowitz Rechtsanwälte GmbH
March 31 2010
The Working Time Act defines 'overtime' as a period of working hours that exceeds either the maximum daily amount (eight hours) or the maximum weekly amount (40 hours) of standard working hours. Unless otherwise provided by collective bargaining agreements, a 50% premium is added to the normal hourly wage for calculating overtime pay. Any overtime that the employee must work can also be compensated by a flat-rate overtime payment. However, if the number of overtime hours exceeds the number of hours covered by the flat-rate payment, the employee is entitled to receive an additional remuneration for any additional hours that he or she has worked. An all-inclusive clause is similar to a flat-rate overtime payment. The difference is that the all-inclusive clause establishes a total salary, whereas the flat-rate overtime payment incorporates the monthly salary and an additional overtime payment on a flat-rate basis. An all-inclusive agreement includes overtime, weekend and holiday work and travel time. However, the necessity of a base salary still applies even when an all-inclusive clause is used. If the respective employment contract does not include a base salary, the minimum salary of the applicable collective bargaining agreement will usually be regarded as the base salary. If no applicable collective bargaining agreement is in effect for the specific employment agreement, a comparison with co-workers is required. If the corresponding number of overtime hours exceeds the difference between the base salary and the all-inclusive salary, the employee is entitled to receive an additional remuneration for any additional hours that he or she has worked. The Working Time Act does not apply to managerial personnel (ie, employees with core management functions). Consequently, such employees are generally not entitled to receive an overtime premium. However, there is an exception to this exception: most collective bargaining agreements also include managerial employees in their provisions on overtime. Therefore, these employees are also entitled to an overtime premium by virtue of collective bargaining. Thus, an all-inclusive clause is most effective in connection with managerial employees with decisive management functions where no applicable collective bargaining agreement governs their employment. Generally, neither the flat-rate overtime payment nor the all-inclusive clause can be cancelled or reduced unilaterally (unless specifically agreed in the employment contract) because it constitutes an element of the agreed payment terms. Any unilateral reduction or cancellation by the employer would entitle the employee to terminate his or her employment prematurely (termination for cause), unless it was expressly agreed that the flat-rate payment or all-inclusive clause would apply for a limited time or was subject to cancellation. Thus, a flat-rate overtime payment or an all-inclusive clause cannot be cancelled unilaterally even if the employee works fewer hours, unless the employer has reserved the right to revoke the respective contract term unilaterally. If the employment contract includes no flat-rate overtime payment and no all-inclusive clause, the affected employee will usually be entitled to overtime pay. However, most collective bargaining agreements and (ideally) also employment contracts contain forfeiture clauses, according to which overtime pay entitlements are deemed forfeited if overtime worked is not formally claimed within a specific timeframe (usually between three and six months).

- A renowned scholar, Dr Uche Igwe, has asked the NCDC to prevail on Governor Nyesom Wike to go on 14-days isolation
- Dr Igwe said the action is necessary because the governor attended a PDP event where social distancing was not observed
- Photos of a recent event by the PDP in Rivers showed politicians not observing social distancing

The National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has been asked to prevail on the governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike to proceed on mandatory isolation immediately for the next 14 days.
The call was made by a renowned scholar, Dr Uche Igwe, who accused the governor of undue politicization of the fight against COVID-19 in the state.
Dr Igwe said his advise to the NCDC was as a result of the governor's participation in a public event where the protocols of social distancing were not adhered to.
It will be recalled that the governor had temporarily lifted the lockdown on activities in the state.
The day after, the governor attended the inauguration of the new executives of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Critics in the state accused the governor of lifting the lockdown due to the PDP's event.
Dr Igwe said: “Mr Nyesom Wike has broken the rules set by the government. He may actually be the one sabotaging the effort to fight the pandemic in Rivers state.
“By insisting on holding an event without social distancing he has put the lives of the population at great risk.
“An urgent contact tracing should immediately be authorised by NCDC before it is too late.
“This is required now to save the lives of innocent Rivers people who might be inadvertently exposed to these politicians.”
Dr. Igwe also frowned at the governor's resort to outdated ethnic sentiments at a time when he should be concentrating on urgent issues of governance.
He said: “I am aware that Mr Wike has used one of his known proxies to cast aspersions at Ndigbo.
“Our history and that of our brothers and sisters in Rivers state remain intertwined.
“That a governor of such a multi-ethnic state can make divisive statements and anachronistic references to historical archives of conflict to score cheap political points are clear signs of his pathological leadership weakness and unfolding legitimacy deficit.
“Picking on Ndigbo is clearly a manifestation of his hatred and animosity which he has harboured over the years.”
Dr Igwe had earlier described Governor Wike as “a hypocritical leader who has an addiction for tyranny.”
Dr Igwe made the comment while reacting to reports about how Governor Wike lifted the ban on COVID-19 lockdown for a PDP event to be held.

World Bulletin / News Desk
The mayor of Dallas declared a state of emergency in the ninth largest U.S. city on Wednesday to combat the spread of West Nile virus infections, which have been more prevalent than usual in Texas and other states this year.
There have been more cases of West Nile virus reported so far this year than any year since the disease was first detected in the United States in 1999, the Centers for Disease Control said on its website.
Nearly half of the 693 human cases of the mosquito-borne West Nile virus infections reported this year to the CDC have been in Texas, along with 14 of the 26 deaths confirmed by the federal agency as of Tuesday.
The Texas health department said the number of cases of West Nile in the state had reached 465 and there had been 17 deaths. There is a lag in the CDC confirming cases and deaths.
The emergency declaration by Mayor Mike Rawlings followed a similar action last week by Dallas County officials and paves the way for aerial pesticide spraying to begin this week.
Aerial spraying also is being used elsewhere, including in neighborhoods in New York City and Sacramento, California, to combat the spread of West Nile virus. Officials say such spraying is the most effective way to fight the mosquitoes that carry the disease despite safety concerns about exposing people to chemical pesticides.
"We are on track to have the worst year ever for West Nile virus in Texas," said Christine Mann, a spokeswoman for the Texas health department, adding that the number of cases was triple the previous high year of 2003.
It is not clear why the number of West Nile cases in Texas is so high. It could be related to a warmer winter and rainy spring that has contributed to an increased mosquito population, Mann said.
West Nile virus usually flares up in the summer because it is most often transmitted by mosquito bites. People infected can suffer fever and aches that can become severe or even cause death, especially of the elderly, children and other at risk groups. There is no specific treatment for the West Nile infection.

LITTLETON, Colo., Oct 21 (Reuters) – A global energy market shock that has sent electricity costs soaring is causing a lot of pain, from rising domestic utility bills to factory job cuts and massive government bailouts.
But the energy crisis that has plagued the economy and mining industry alike this year also presents an opportunity to boost the efficiency levels of energy systems that have slowed the rate of efficiency improvements in recent years.
Decades of relatively low and stable electricity prices have allowed many homes and businesses to ignore energy costs as they go about their daily existence, and in many cases have led to wasteful spending and delays in energy efficiency improvements.
But the combined rise in natural gas, coal and oil costs over the past year has forced every consumer to reassess the true cost of the energy they use at home, in their cars and at work – prompting a concerted effort to reduce energy use. every aspect of their lives.
The potential cumulative impact of such a broad and simultaneous energy reduction push is huge, with consequences not only for the capacity of the current international energy supply, but also for emissions from the use of fossil fuels burned to produce energy.
Together with the planned global expansion of renewable energy supply, these sustained combined cuts in overall energy demand can help achieve the goal of reversing the trend of climate-changing emissions.
REDUCTION OF ENERGY
A key energy efficiency measure developed by research and consulting firm Enerdata tracks the total amount of energy used by each country to produce one unit of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The so-called Energy Intensity of GDP allows different economies to be compared and ranked, and it reveals that while at the global level the energy intensity has gradually decreased over time, several countries have struggled to reduce their energy beyond a certain point as the population increases and the production sectors use energy. hundreds and thousands of businesses.
Indeed, many major, fast-growing economies including Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Iran and Brazil have stopped energy use and increased energy consumption per unit of GDP since 2015.
Other economies with ambitions to develop industrial and manufacturing sectors – including India and Vietnam – are at risk of doing the same, as human consumption patterns and capital expenditure are adjusted to create more workers and factories.
However, many major economies have successfully reduced energy consumption while simultaneously increasing economic output, and could serve as a potential blueprint for other nations looking to adopt ambitious targets for both economic and emissions reductions.
These success stories include China, which has reduced its energy consumption by 15% since 2015 while growing GDP by more than 60%, data from Enerdata and the World Bank show.
Even after the sharp decline in energy, China has room for further reductions before joining fully industrialized countries including Germany and Japan, which boast electricity rates roughly half that of China by 2021.
Beijing is targeting a further 13.5% reduction in energy consumption per unit of production over the period 2021 to 2025, which it intends to achieve by eliminating outdated smoke plants and rolling out more modern electricity and distribution systems.
China has ambitions to become a leader in clean energy technology, and it will look to export energy-saving energy in the coming decades just as households, businesses and governments look to adopt it on a larger scale.
Similar products and systems look set to emerge in Europe, the United States and elsewhere as a result of extensive investments made in the space in direct response to rising fossil fuel prices this year.
This means that consumers around the world should be given options in terms of energy efficiency as they recover from the shock of today’s energy crisis and look to make changes to their energy use in the future.

Kyoto Animation is the anime studio responsible for Munto, Full Metal Panic! (Fumoffu and The Second Raid), Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star, K-On! and adaptations of three Key/Visual Arts visual novels: AIR, Kanon, and CLANNAD (although they were also separately adapted by Toei Animation). Held to high regard for their usually good animation quality (the animation tends to be more fluid, on-par with Western-made cartoons, not to mention mouth flaps often being more articulate rather than being stuck in one position), as well as almost disturbingly realistic backgrounds and the generous use of little touches to spice up the character animation, as a result it has a fondness for using the bloom and flare effects for its visuals.
In the wake of K-On!, the studio also became known for the distinctness of character designs it used across different series (the latter of which is called derisively by critics of the studio as the "KyoAni Homogenizer"). Indeed, you can put Yui (from K-On!), Chitanda (from Hyouka), Tamako (from Tamako Market), and Mirai (from Beyond the Boundary) in one place, and you wouldn't know they were from different shows. The only exceptions from this were Nichijou and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, which instead used the original mangas' more simplistic styles.
In 2007, the firing of Yutaka Yamamoto led to lots of people resigning after Lucky Star's original run and creating another studio called Ordet. But that's another story.
From 2010 until 2014, the studio shifted focus from adapting works from outside sources (not completely — they still did Hyouka within this time period), to producing works from their own in-house publishing house. They have an annual writer's competition to see which author gets their work published, but rarely giving grand prizes in any categories, with Violet Evergarden being the sole exception thus far — indeed the ones usually getting adapted into anime (see Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, Beyond the Boundary, and Myriad Colors Phantom World) are actually the honorable mentions. The shows from this period onward tend to be hit-and-miss as a result, as far as sales success go.
After nearly five years of in-house work, KyoAni returned to adapting outside series, with Shouji Gato's Amagi Brilliant Park, and Sound! Euphonium by Ayano Takeda, the latter of which got a second season airing at the end of 2016.
Despite what their name might suggest, they aren't based in Kyoto, but in Uji, a different town in Kyoto Prefecture. They also have units in Osaka (Animation Do, responsible for the smash hit Free!) & in South Korea (Studio Blue, formally known as AniVillage).
On July 18, 2019, in the worst post-World War II mass murder incident in Japan and single greatest tragedy within its animating industry's history, a 41-year-old recluse named Shinji Aoba set fire to Kyoto Animation Studio 1, murdering 35 people and injuring 33 others; the perpetrator was apprehended fleeing and bragged he did it, screaming of Kyoto Animation plagiarizing a novel he submitted to their contest. Not only does this (or anything for that matter) obviously never come close to rationalizing mass murder of such magnitude, the novel never passed the first-stage assessment and its contents were confirmed to have no similarities to any of their published works. The arsonist has also proven to be a dangerously insane psychopath with a criminal history according to neighbors and key eyewitnesses, thus Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment very much applies.
While only ten victims were initially named due to respect toward the victim's families, a heated dispute with law enforcement over the social impact of the attack resulted in the names of all the victims being abruptly disclosed on August 27, 2019.
In addition to an outpour of ongoing condolences and messages of support from the world and national leaders, fans and businesses have raised over US$21.5 million to help the studio and its victims recover. Sentai Filmworks, who distributes much of KyoAni's output in North America, set up a GoFundMe page to help victims and their families. The drive cracked $1 million in under a day and $2 million in under a week.

Tropes usually associated with Kyoto Animation productions:
- Bait-and-Switch Lesbians: Kyoto Animation has become rather infamous for introducing massive amounts of subtext between female characters, only to let it go unanswered and open-ended. While there is debate whether this mere negligence or a conscious choice to not dissuade male shipping, this practice still garnered the studio a bad reputation among the yuri fandom.
- False Camera Effects: Kyoto Animation's recent offerings have utilized heavy use of blur, focus, chromatic aberration and bokeh. This is particularly noticeable in Sound! Euphonium, especially its pilot episode.
- High School: With two exceptions, every single one of their works either takes place in a high school or stars a high school student.
- Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Leans heavily towards idealism. So much so that Gigguk's video "If Anime Studios Were People" makes fun of how idealistic they are.
- During their pre-inhouse period, the studio was notable for their tendency to do Shout Outs and casting gags to their own series. This tendency died off after K-On's adaptation.
- Haruhi Suzumiya has a couple of shout outs to Full Metal Panic! and AIR.
- Lucky Star has innumerable Shout Outs to Haruhi, being the favorite show of the Otaku Surrogate Konata... who is voiced by Aya Hirano, Haruhi's voice actress (as well as in the English dub, where Konata and Haruhi are both voiced by Wendee Lee. Konata uses a Hare Hare Yukai and later Koi no Mikuru Densetsu ringtone, has a big collection of Haruhi merchandise, cosplays as Haruhi at the cafe where she works, and much, much more. After all, "This is advertisement for us, so it's better!"◊ These inside references are anime-only, and are not found anywhere in the manga on which it is based.Similarly, Kagami's favourite series happens to be Full Metal Panic!, leading to Shout Outs in that direction as well. (Oddly enough, Tsukasa's favourite series is Sgt. Frog, which also has its fair share of Shout Outs, despite being a Sunrise show. In the same vein, Konata is a fan of Code Geass, also produced by Sunrise, and they manage a few Shout Outs for it too.) Not surprising at all, since Kyoani is affiliated with Sunrise, so it's a Shout-Out to their parent company. And of course, as pictured, when the girls go on a field trip to Kyoto... well, where does Konata want to visit?
- An interesting example: in AIR: Nayuki, Ayu, and Makoto from Kanon show up with the original voice actors, much like Kyon and Yuki do in Lucky Star... only this was before Kyoani ever animated Kanon. This makes it more of a shout out to the fact that they were both created by Key/Visual Art's.
- CLANNAD had at least two in the first episode - a desaturated opening, à la Haruhi, and a subverted version of a Dating Sim Shot like the ones Kanon was filled with. Mai's sword and Sayuri's magical wand (along with their ribbons) make a brief appearance as theater props, and Sayuri's giant purple anteater makes a star appearance in a crane game. The second season has what could only be Akiko's infamous "special jam". Sanae's bread simply tastes bad and is hard to eat. Akiko's ultimate jam blurs your senses. Put them together, and you get knocked out Miyazawa gang members. A WMD indeed, even in the hands of Nagisa. Sayuri's anteater can be seen in the Furukawa household after Ushio lives with Sanae and Akio.
- Kyoto Animation has a tendency to animate shows with snarky male leads, like Yukito, Kyon, Yuuichi, Tomoya, Houtarou, to an extent, Haruka, and Akihito.

Convicted in 1989 of illegally transporting a loaded .45-caliber "machine gun style" rifle inside a car, Salvador Tapia repeatedly avoided more serious charges following later gun-related arrests.
Wednesday morning, he walked into the South Side salvage auto parts shop from which he was fired earlier this year and killed six men with a .380-caliber pistol before police cornered and killed him, authorities said.
FOR THE RECORD - This story contains corrected material, published Aug. 30, 2003.
Prosecutors and legal experts Thursday said that Tapia's rap sheet--including gun-related arrests in 1989, 1992, 1996, and 1997--wasn't sufficient to have kept him off the streets as a dangerous criminal.
"He hadn't accumulated the kind of record that would have resulted in him being placed behind bars," said Thomas Geraghty, director of the Bluhm Legal Clinic at the Northwestern University School of Law. "[Prosecutors] simply wouldn't have had the evidence to go ahead with a prosecution."
In fact, the 1989 case was Tapia's first and only conviction on a weapons-related charge. In all of his other gun-related arrests, police and prosecutors either lacked enough evidence or a cooperating witness to secure even a misdemeanor conviction, said Cook County state's attorney's spokesman Jerry Lawrence.
The Tribune incorrectly reported in Thursday's paper that the conviction was for a felony charge.
"The little bit that we have to go on shows that the misdemeanor cases wouldn't have stood up," Lawrence said, referring to police reports and court documents from Tapia's 1992, 1996 and 1997 arrests.
In the 1989 case that did make it all the way through the Cook County criminal court system, Tapia received a 1-year suspended sentence and served a total of two days behind bars, according to state's attorney's spokesman John Gorman.
The same offense today--transporting a loaded gun, two clips and 18 rounds of ammunition inside a vehicle--would have resulted in a felony charge due to changes in the law since 1989, said Lawrence.
That could have landed Tapia more time behind bars for the first offense, but it wouldn't necessarily have resulted in more serious charges in the later incidents, according to both state's attorney's spokesmen.
"There was no weapon recovered in the '96 or '97 arrests," Gorman said.
"They didn't have the gun; it's an important point," Lawrence said.
In both instances, Tapia was accused of threatening to kill others with a semiautomatic pistol. Police, however, were unable to locate a gun belonging to Tapia during either arrest for misdemeanor aggravated assault.
And after both arrests, the people Tapia allegedly threatened--including a 27-year-old neighbor in the 1996 offense and Tapia's girlfriend, sister and brother-in-law in 1997--failed to testify against him in court, Gorman said.
"There's no complaining witness," Gorman said.
In 1992, Chicago police charged Tapia with illegally possessing a .38-caliber snub-nose revolver that officers recovered from a toilet inside a South Side home where Tapia was attending a largely underage party. At the time, Tapia was 24 and did not hold an Illinois firearm owner's identification card, as required under state law to legally own guns, according to a police report.
Lawrence said that neither Tapia nor the arresting officers appeared in court in 1992, and the case was later dropped.
"We're not sure if that's why it was thrown out," he said.
In 2001, ex-girlfriend Julia Camacho was awarded an order of protection against Tapia that prohibited him from either buying or possessing guns, Lawrence said. That order of protection officially ended Thursday morning, one day after Tapia's murder spree, Lawrence said.
Chicago police Thursday said that a trace by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of the gun used in Wednesday's murders showed the .380-caliber Walther PP was originally sold at a Blue Island gun shop in 1966. Police were unable to say how Tapia got the gun, which was last registered legally in Chicago in 1983.
After 1989, Tapia was arrested at least four times in Chicago and once in Summit for domestic battery, according to police.

How to Grow Cantaloupe From Seed: Why You Should Save Those Melon Seeds for Your Garden by Tiffany Everett
Don't throw out those cantaloupe seeds! You can turn a cantaloupe seed into a plant that may one day produce a cantaloupe. Isn't gardening fun, especially sprouting seeds.
Here's how to grow a cantaloupe from a seed in six easy steps:
- Grab a cantaloupe that you have finished eating or one that may not be in the best shape to eat.
- Pick out the seeds from the cantaloupe. Take your time and decide how many cantaloupe you will have room to accommodate. Keep in mind that they will need plenty of space to grow.
- Clean the seeds off with a paper towel or lay them out to dry for a day.
- Plant the seeds in soil. I made soil that sits on the porch, which allows me to have soil anytime I'm ready to plant seeds. It is a great way to save time.
- Water the seedlings. You will want to water them weekly, being careful not to over water them. Once a week apply fertilizer to provide them with the nutrients needed to continue growing.
- Sit back and watch your seedlings grow into adults.

Flooding and flood risk management
Urban Flood Management
The effects of climate change will continue to be debated over the coming years as extreme weather events and global warming become more apparent. In recent years the UK has seen an increase in the number of flood events and flood risk warnings in many areas. This is of increasing concern, to home owners, developers and insurers.
Approaches to limiting disruption and damage from flooding have changed significantly in recent years. Worldwide, there has been a significant move from a strategy of flood defence to one of flood risk management. This includes the use of flood defences, where appropriate, but recognises that managed flooding is essential to meet the requirements of a sustainable flood strategy. The success of this approach is dependent on integrating enhanced defences and warning systems with improved understanding of the river systems and better governance, emergency planning and disaster management actions.
Over the years, flooding and flood risk management are becoming increasingly important issues. As the impact of severe events is felt by increasing numbers of the population, the cost from associated damage increases dramatically. The cost of flood cannot only be measured in monetary terms as the human costs are often impossible to calculate. Between 2000 and 2004, floods killed 185 people within the EU and affected half a million.
BRE is currently involved in developing a number of research initiatives to investigate flood preparedness, protection and post-flood repair. This has been initiated through previous research projects and the current involvement in European Cost Action C22 ‘Urban Flood Management'. The main objective of this action is to increase knowledge required for preventing and mitigating potential flood impacts to urban areas by exchanging experiences, developing integrated approaches, and by promoting the use of best practice in urban flood management.
The BRE LifE project The Long Term Initiatives for Flood Risk Environments project is one of six projects funded by Defra's FCERM Innovation Fund, and part of Defra's Making Space for Water programme (MSW). The Innovation Fund seeks to improve future delivery of flood and coastal erosion risk management, by introducing a wider range of stakeholders, and promoting innovative approaches to development delivery that contribute towards holistic and sustainable policy making in the future.
The BRE LifE project has been undertaken to demonstrate ways in which an integrated approach to planning new developments can combine sustainable practices with ecological flood mitigation measures, encouraging responsible new developments. A set of illustrated generic principles is being developed to demonstrate the integrated planning approach, and which can be adopted for use on other sites. These principles will be presented in a short illustrated ‘LifE guide'.
The Defra funding has enabled a multi-disciplinary design team led by BACA architects, (with Fulcrum, LDA, Cyrill Sweetts and Halcrow) to be assembled. Three sites in the UK have been chosen to test and illustrate the development and application of ‘LifE' strategies. The three sites were selected to represent typical UK flood risk locations along different rivers. These are:
Site 1, Upper catchment - The River Wandle at Hackbridge
Site 2, Middle catchment - The River Nene at Peterborough
Site 3, Lower catchment - The River Arun at Littlehampton
The BRE are acting as project managers for this research project. The project is due to report in Autumn 2008.

For many years, only big, wealthy nations like Russia, China, and the United States had the wherewithal to launch satellites into space. Then well-funded corporations got involved. If the world’s citizens watched, and millions did, they largely watched vicariously. But what if there were satellites that hosted the projects of regular people: say, university students or startup entrepreneurs? A new company, SpaceChain, has already launched one satellite that it hopes will revolutionize the way we look at space and our relationship to it. Here, CEO Zuo Zheng and CTO Jeff Garzik talk with Paul Brigner, Managing Director of Georgetown’s Blockchain Technology and Ecosystem Design Research Center (B-TED) and Security & Software Engineering Research Center (S2ERC), about how they are using blockchain technology to decentralize and democratize our use of space.

One example the company showed off is in the Messages app, where the top third or so of the screen becomes a so-called “viewing area” and the rest is an “interaction area.” You can tap on messages in the bottom section and a preview shows up above.
Other tweaks include moving things like Share buttons to the bottom of the screen where it’s easier for your thumb to reach. There aren’t a lot of specific details on what else is changing just yet, but Samsung claims to have seriously decluttered so you can “reach what you want,” with “content and features at your fingertips.”
There’s also a Night mode that uses a black background for easier reading in the dark, which bears some similarity to Google’s UI for the Pixel Stand. Samsung’s new software will also color-match the hardware. So say you’re using the lilac Galaxy Note 9 and want an all-purple phone, you could theme One UI to the same hue.
Based on slides that the company posted, the new home screen for Galaxy phones indeed looks a lot cleaner. The weather widget is smaller, for one thing, and the Google search bar has a more-subtle translucent grey background instead of the current white fill.
We’ll need a deeper dive before knowing for certain how much easier One UI is to use than its predecessor, but from what Samsung has shared so far, the new look is refreshing. Many elements appear to be borrowed from Android Pie and iOS, but mimicry in the name of improving user experience is something I can get on board with. It’s timely, too, since Samsung’s existing software is starting to look dated. Expect to see the redesign in next year’s phones, most probably in the Galaxy S10 that should launch in February.

ETH researchers have developed a comprehensive model to explain how electrons flow inside new types of solar cells made of tiny crystals. The model allows for a better understanding of such cells and may help to increase their efficiency.
Scientists are focusing on nanometre-sized crystals for the next generation of solar cells. These nanocrystals have excellent optical properties. Compared with silicon in today’s solar cells, nanocrystals can be designed to absorb a larger fraction of the solar light spectrum.
However, the development of nanocrystal-based solar cells is challenging: “These solar cells contain layers of many individual nano-sized crystals, bound together by a molecular glue. Within this nanocrystal composite, the electrons do not flow as well as needed for commercial applications,” explains Vanessa Wood, Professor of Materials and Device Engineering at ETH Zurich. Until now, the physics of electron transport in this complex material system was not understood so it…

Ｓｅｒｉｅｓ： Book 4, Final
Ｒａｔｉｎｇ： ★ ★ ★ ★ ✩
Things have gone downhill fast for these immortals. Anderson has been outed as a God, and the Olympians now know that he killed their previous leader, Konstantin. Now, Konstantin’s son wants revenge, but so does Anderson’s wife. Driven to revenge by grief, this fertility goddess is prepared to end all of humanity if it gives her a shot at killing Anderson. Nikki and her friends are left scrambling to fix the mess and avoid an all-out war with the Olympians when Anderson goes missing. Will she find a way to stop the bloodshed?
Of course, I love Nikki
I also really like Jamaal in this book because he grows up so much. He’s come a long way from the always-angry-and-don’t-touch-me guy from the first book and how he comes to really trust Nikki in this one. Their relationship is adorable to me in so many ways.
► This pretty sums up my feelings for Jamaal haha
If you’d asked me a couple of weeks ago if I’d ever imagined Jamaal, with his incandescent temper, being the voice of reason, I’d have laughed you out of the room.
► I love Jack ❤
“I will selflessly volunteer my services,” he said in a booming voice, just in case he didn’t already have our full attention. “I will joyfully fall on my sword in the service of mankind.” He put his hand over his heart and raised his chin high. “It will be a hardship above all others–“
“Oh, shut up and sit down,” Jamaal growled, never Jack’s biggest fan. “I’m sure you can think of a dozen more penis puns, but they’re not exactly original. Or funny.”
“What if I said I’m up to the task? Would that be funny enough for you, or would you still have a bone to pick?”
There was a collective grown and more than one “shut up, Jack.”
► Well, she’s not wrong.
“I still haven’t figure out if you’re brave or stupid,” Jamaal said with a shake of his head.
“I didn’t realize the two were mutually exclusive”.
► Did I mention I love Jamaal?
My plan had been to go to the Underworld alone rather than risk any of my housemates, but I should have known Jamaal would veto that idea.
“No way you’re traipsing around the fucking Underworld with some Olympian shitbird as a guide and no backup,” was how he put it.
► I liked this moment because it truly showed how back Anderson messed up. Jamaal had never questioned him and everyone in the house was always kind of afraid to stand up to Anderson, but you can tell he really lost their respect.
“Back. The. Fuck. Off,” Anderson grated with careful enunciation.
If Jamaal were in one of his death-magic-fuled ragest, he wouldn’t have even noticed the threat, much less given in to it. But though he was angry enough to spit nails right now, it was a rational anger. I saw his glance drop to Anderson’s glowing hand, saw that he was fully aware of the threat.
He threw a punch anyway.
This book was amazing. I had always wondered why Anderson didn’t want anyone to know he was a god (I mean, what’s the worst that can happen, right?) and we finally get to find out. What’s the only thing a god has to be afraid of? The wrath of a goddess/ex-wife. The reveal about what made her want revenge was shocking too. It’s something you never would’ve expected from Anderson but then you think “well, he wasn’t always this was, was he?”
I love Black’s writing style. It flows well and is simple but amply descriptive when it needs to be. Her characters are well written and so full of life–by that I mean they actually feel real and aren’t just there to move the plot along. Nikki and Jamaal grew the most in this book, the evidence being in how their relationship takes a giant step forward.
There was a good balance between the main story and the romance between this characters. It was there just enough to be refreshing but not detract from the main goal–which I liked. I won’t go into it too much so I don’t spoil it–but the amount of trust that Jamaal shows Nikki in this book is just… downright adorable and heartbreaking (when he talks about his past).
I like the twist in the story of how Anderson’s ex-wife planned to get her revenge (because really, how are you supposed to kill a death god, right?). It really stepped things up and I like that throughout it the Olympians were helpful but maintained their selfish nature (always trying to strike bargains. Jenna Black does a really good job of keeping her characters true to themselves/realistic.
And the ending was amazing as well. I love Nikki for her ability to put herself in someone else’s shoes and see things from their perspective so that she can come up with a solution. Leave it up to her to find something that seems totally impossible to solve/replace by most people’s standards (again, won’t go into details because of spoilers). Plus, I like the gesture that Anderson does in the end.
Overall, a great book, and a great ending for the series. This is one that I would definitely recommend ❤

Unemployment is liable to jump sharply in the coming months. How should FE respond to the needs of young people and adults?
Young people tend to suffer worst when there is a recession and the labour market slackens. They find themselves competing with displaced adult workers, who can demonstrate relevant work experience to prospective employers. Research shows that employers are using experience as an increasingly important filter in the recruitment process, and are also ever keener to use various forms of work trials (agency work, internships, gig work) to assess the suitability of applicants for their workplace.
Transitions from learning to earning have lengthened, and become more precarious and uncertain. In other words, a major recession runs the danger of worsening pre-existing problems with the youth labour market.
For young people not going into HE, there is the added danger that under-employed graduates will cascade further down the occupational hierarchy, taking openings that might otherwise have gone to non-graduates.
What can FE and vocational skills providers do? First, be modest in what they promise. The past, not least the recession of the early 1980s, tells us that policy debates about youth unemployment often come to blame a “lack of skills”, despite the fact that the underlying cause is a lack of job openings for new entrants to the labour market, and adult workers losing their jobs as demand for the goods and services that their organisations deliver collapses.
Most Covid-19 unemployment will not primarily be due to lack of skills
The education system runs the danger of setting itself up to fail if it promises too much by way of its ability to ameliorate the employment impacts of Covid-19. If underlying demand for labour falls and policy fails to counteract this, most of what education can do is move individuals up and down a job queue for what limited openings are available. The majority of the unemployment created by Covid-19 will not primarily be due to individuals’ lack of skills.
What can be done presents itself as a fairly predictable list. Revitalise our mechanisms for tracking young people’s labour market outcomes and those at risk of becoming NEET.
Re-think the support we can give them in terms not just of careers advice and guidance, but also wider scaffolding for transitions, and ask some hard questions about DWP and Jobcentre Plus’s ability to deliver this.
Expand traineeship provision for those most at risk of becoming NEET, and look to government (national and local) to work with employers to create pathways into work experience and then work. Wage subsidies for young employees may be needed.
For adults, when it becomes clearer in which sectors and occupations employment growth potential resides, re-training and re/upskilling schemes (often probably delivered in bitesized chunks, rather than full qualifications) will be needed.
Two key resource constraints loom. The first is the public funding. Public finances will be under huge strain in the wake of the pandemic. Tax revenues will be sharply down, spending to shore up the economy sharply up. Universities have already constructed their initial pitch to the UK government for support to tide them over the looming collapse in the overseas student market, which has cross-subsidised large amounts of activity in HE.
The second is employers’ willingness to cooperate. Before Covid-19 struck, we had ambitious targets to expand apprenticeships, expand work experience for undergraduates and many other groups of students in FE and schools, as well as find the new T-level work placements. Employers in many sectors are disorganised and lack the means to work together on skills issues; and the levels of employer-provided workforce training have been falling steadily since the late 1990s.
New collective mechanisms to engage with employers will be needed, and a new consensus about the rights, roles and responsibilities of employers will have to be constructed.

We’ve all been on the receiving end of criticism or in a position to give it. Either way, it can be tricky, and, at times, ugly. I think of the times I’ve taken my kids out on the tennis court to to give them some coaching. When we walk back through the door, my husband immediately knows that a good time was not had by all. In my defense, I was just matter-of-factly telling them how to improve their strokes, and what they heard was “You think I’m not good enough,” or “You don’t appreciate me for what I CAN do.”
Giving and receiving feedback is tricky whether you’re talking to your kids, husband, or colleagues. But now there is an excellent book to guide you through the mine-field of evaluating, coaching, and critiquing others as well as how to receive that feedback. It’s called Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well by Stone and Heen. The authors point out:
Most of us do fine with positive feedback, although even praise can sometimes leave us uneasy. Perhaps we’re not sure it’s genuine or we fear we haven’t earned it.
Then there’s the tougher stuff–the feedback that leaves us confused or enraged, flustered or flattened. You’re attacking my child, my career, my character.
This kind of feedback triggers us: Our heart pounds, our stomach clenches, our thoughts race and scatter.
What to do?
Throughout the book, Stone and Heen expertly guide the reader through why we respond the way we do, how to find the truth in what we hear, and how to grow from that experience. More importantly, for anyone who is in a position to give feedback–and that’s everyone–they have excellent suggestions for understanding how to do it to bring about the best results. No matter who you are, you will glean something from this book!

Density-functional study of the methoxy intermediates at Cu(111), Cu(110) and Cu(001) surfaces

Density-functional study of the methoxy intermediates at Cu(111), Cu(110) and Cu(001) surfaces.
Journal of Physics-Condensed Matter. Roč. 22, č. 39 (2010), s. 395002 ISSN 0953-8984
Výzkumný záměr: CEZ:AV0Z40400503
Klíčová slova: Cu surfaces * methoxy group CH3O- * physical chemistry
Kód oboru RIV: CF - Fyzikální chemie a teoretická chemie
Impakt faktor: 2.332, rok: 2010
Although the geometry of the methoxy intermediates on copper surfaces has been investigated in a number of experimental and also in several theoretical papers, the situation remains controversial for the (110) and (001) surface orientations. In the present study, we perform density-functional calculations for the Cu(111), (110) and (001) surfaces. The stress is laid upon the models and ideas proposed in the literature. At the (111) face, the fcc three-fold adsorption site is found to be slightly more favourable than the hcp one. At the (110) surface, we predict the methoxy to adsorb close to the short-bridge site in a tilted geometry. Metastable long-bridge positions are less stable by more than 0.3 eV. Since for coverages up to θ = 0.5 the interaction between the methoxy groups is weak, we see no reason for the presence of two different adsorbed methoxy forms unless the copper surface is reconstructed.

I was hoping that the one day above freezing temperatures would be good for fishing. I knew the water was going to be cold but this river is a tail race and the consistent generation of water keeps the river from freezing over. When we parked the sun was on us and you could hear the sound of snow slowly melting. Once we worked into the canyon and moved into the shade the temp dropped considerably.
Huge chunks of ice lined the banks and water was melting deep under the ice. You could hear and see water dripping around the rocks. In certain places there were veins of air and water that you could see through the ice. The air bubbles in the running veins looked almost like bugs. The river was clear and the water levels were great for fishing.
The last time I fished this river I would see fish spook every 100yds or so. On this day I saw nothing. No flashes, rises or any signs of life. There were caddis and stone flies fluttering here and there but no indication that anything was chasing them. The river seemed dead. Usually when you fish a river you see minnows or suckers. This river doesn't seem to have any of those fish. There are only trout. The trick is finding them. My guess is they went downstream to find warmer water. When it gets warmer I'm sure they'll be back and so will I.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- There was no discussion about the role of women in cinema - or journalism, for that matter - when Betty French started her pioneering career at the Akron Beacon Journal. They just weren't involved, no questions asked.
Which only makes the career of the theater and film critic all the more pioneering.
It started in the 1940s, when women by and large enjoyed professional breakthroughs. French covered the wedding of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall at Malabar Farm in 1945 - the celebrity sensation of that year. Bogie even showed off his wedding ring to her in a photo that ran on Page One of the Beacon on May 22. She also wrote about music and theater.
French's career was sidelined the same decade, as with the careers of many other women in the 1940s -- when, as she was apt to say, with a smile that could be stoic yet puckish, "The men came back from the war."
Betty French Jarmusch managed to retain both stoicism and puckishness until her passing Nov. 15, in her home in Shaker Heights. She was 96. She died of natural causes.
Born Ruth Elizabeth French in 1921, she became the Beacon Journal's first woman movie and theater critic in the 1940s - a position held by men in what was a male-dominated industry.
For reference, the trailblazing Pauline Kael began publishing her film critiques in 1953. The legendary Jane Scott started at The Plain Dealer a year before that, working as a society writer while also covering the teen beat.
French got her start at the Beacon as the religion editor, right out of the University of Akron. She had won a writing contest while working at the school paper.
Her inquisitive mind and gentle charm made her comfortable interviewing the stars of the day - including Ginger Rogers, Wallace Beery and Boris Karloff - or comfortable standing in an elevator with Roy Rogers' palomino, Trigger.
Her aesthetic insight and love of adventure resulted in a March 1948 review of the Broadway show "A Streetcar Named Desire" - she took the train from Akron to Manhattan - in which she raved about a "sensational new actor" full of "animal spirits"... Marlon Brando.
That same year, she married Robert Jarmusch - a personnel director at the B.F. Goodrich Co. whom she had met in a candy store. They lived in an 1830s home in Silver Lake in Summit County before moving to Shaker Heights, and remained married until his death in 2005.
Even though Betty left the Beacon to raise their children, she continued writing stories for various publications on politics, antiques and history. She also penned a movie script about World War II spies living in Akron called "Zeppelin Blondes."
And she continued with her wide-ranging pursuits.
"My mom was interested in movies and history, nature, furniture, Colonial and Native American cultures," says son Jim Jarmusch by phone from his home in New York. "She researched the architectural details of the home in Silver Lake; the history of the area; even the story of a man that was a sympathizer of the Confederacy that shot at people when they came to conscript him into the Union Army."
She had an open mind, and approached all comers with one.
"She liked eccentric people and had a deep love for nature," says Jim Jarmusch. "I remember coming home one day from school as a kid, and she was sitting in the backyard. She had prematurely white hair since [she was] 25. She motioned for me to be still and stop.
"There was a hummingbird humming around her hair, and she just wanted to enjoy that moment. And when the bird took off, she looked at me and said, 'Did you see the tiny bird?' "
Betty's open mind and vivid imagination inspired her children and became manifest in their professions. Ann, who lives in Sedona, Arizona, became an architecture critic and journalist, with a focus on historic preservation.
Jim is the writer and director of such films as "Broken Flowers," "Paterson," "Down By Law" and "Stranger Than Paradise," populated with eclectic ideas and some eccentric characters.
Tom Jarmusch, a New York-based photographer and filmmaker, has chronicled distressed urban areas with photo exhibitions and documentaries such as "Sometimes City." Betty accompanied him on shoots as late as January of this year, at all hours of the day and night.
"I came to Cleveland to be with my mom and would use the shoots as a pretense to get mom out of the house, because she was still so curious, even when she was 95," says Tom Jarmusch, via phone from New York.
"I was shooting slums and she had a lot of compassion for people, but also loved art and architecture and could appreciate these beautiful old houses, even though they had deteriorated."
Betty, who was a docent at the Akron Art Museum and tutored students in that city, also loved animals, especially her cats, Maggie and Molly. It inspired her to become a vegetarian long before it was in vogue, and her children would follow in her footsteps.
"She was very open to people and to the world," adds Tom Jarmusch. "Every morning, she would wake up brush her cats and read the paper -- the cats came first, always -- and her mind remained open and curious throughout the day, up until she passed away."

Hobbies in the Classroom
On Sunday, Karen Richardson posted a great memory of crocheting— and tied it to math and science. She suggests that we should encourage hobbies during the school day, to which I heartily agree. #GeniusHour is a great way to do accomplish that. Here’s what Karen said:
Hobbies like mine can spark that “lifelong learning” we talk about as educators. And, I know the school day is packed with stuff, but I think it is important to find time for these kinds of activities within the hours of school rather than as after school programs so we can reach as many kids as possible. ~ Karen Richardson
When we struggle with things about which we are interested or even passionate, we learn to adapt, persevere, retry, flex, and ask for help when we get stuck. We learn to solve the issues and work around the obstacles that life always throws at us. Learning we can do this is an important skill– and it’s easier to learn with the things we like. That’s another reason the pursuit of hobbies during school time is important.
Years ago I created this poem about struggle for NaPoWriMo, which captures the good side of struggle:
I appreciate that Karen found ways to incorporate her hobby into math and science; a demonstration of the possibilities for hooking students into lifelong learning.
How would you incorporate learner interests in your classroom?
2 About Struggle
Like Karen, I learned crochet from my family. In my case, from my mom. It was a struggle. She was right-handed, and I am left-handed, and she couldn’t tell if I was moving the yarn correctly because it looked backwards to her. And I kept trying to imagine what she was doing and copy it with my left hand. It was frustrating. Finally, she bought little books for me with the directions in text and images, though they were still from a right hand view. But they were clear and in parts so I could understand. Here’s an example from 1972, a 25-cent booklet by Dell Purse Books.
Note the directions, “yarn over:”
To me that meant to lift the yarn over my needle. And that’s what I did, and that’s how I crochet to this day, which is more time consuming than putting your “needle under.” I literally lift the yarn over my hook with my right hand instead of moving my needle underneath so the yarn is over the hook. Ha. Ha. Ha. Had the directions stated, “needle under,” I would look like I am crocheting, but now everyone says I look like I’m knitting. I’m pretty fast, but everyone laughs. And that’s OK. I learned through a little struggle to crochet my way because my mom found a way to help me figure it out without both of us getting frustrated. And that’s what teachers do.
I’m not an expert, still a novice, but I’ve made coasters, blankets, and barbie dresses. And I’ve taught my granddaughters, emphasizing what “yarn over” really means.
Mom’s Crochet Work
The red, white, and silver crochet in the images above are from a very large doily my mom made. She liked to use color and create items, like this container and doily now in my craft area:
And she created soft doilies as well:
And traditional doilies, like this one now under a night lamp surrounded by grandkid items:
And the usual diamond/pineapple doilies as the one below, which is topped by a purple one made by a granddaughter:
So glad to be able to share and record these beauties made by my mom. As my granddaughters get married, I give each one of the nice ones as part of their wedding presents. Perhaps my grandsons want them as well… [the boys are pretty awesome that way].
My Crochet Work And Play Today
I found the yarn and crochet hooks when we adopted a new kitty. She needed a few new toys, and these little “mice” are perfect. Some of the hooks I use were also my moms. I make a new one almost every other day because she hides them, probably under the couch.
We play a game.
Itty has a tall cat tree, taller than I am. She loves it there, but she does not want her toys there. I put the crocheted mice in the top, and she immediately takes them down.
She sometimes takes time out to catch her tail, because, you know, she is still a Itty is still a kitty.
She can play for an hour. Bringing them down and carrying them off to the rug in front of the couch, waiting for me to pick them up and carry them up to the tree again. She tries different ways to hold them, sometimes dropping them off the edge, sometimes bringing them to Scott’s shoes and trying to drop them in. And sometimes, if we are not playing, she brings the “mice” to me so I’ll play. Very fun to watch a kitty grow and learn. Every creature struggles and learns.
And that’s a slice of my life, a small story of family, struggle, and learning.
I’m working a day ahead, and I commented on Theresa’s annual reflection post here. It’s another way to review your year, and develop some “commandments” to guide you to meet your resolutions. Take a peek; you’ll be impressed.

Wood week mmm..... it was an okay week.
The wooden bowl and carved turtle box I thought I'd shoot this week didn't happen. I forgot I'd already photographed them in "Ordinary things are beautiful week" and didn't want to repeat images if I could help it. I admit that the images I took this week weren't the most inspiring. I was distracted this week if I'm honest. Decluttering our house has taken on new momentum recently and I've now got seven boxes of stuff to go to the charity shop.
We're pretty lucky here as we have about five maybe six shops we can donate to. It's gotten to the point where the pile of boxes to go is starting to get in the way but I want to get as much out in one trip as I can. Second hand shops are too full of interesting books and things for me to risk more than one trip.
Believe it or not but it isn't me that could refill our house again, Hubby has a thing for old westerns and war stories and any woodworking books that may be there too. We have two large bookcases in the spare room that are just groaning with books and all but one shelf is Hubby's.
Anyway, I have more decluttering to do. Wish me luck.
Have a great week!


I shall not go on into the merits of Kiren Rijiju's removal as the Law Minister of India, as it is the discretion of the Prime Minister to remove or transfer any member of his Cabinet, citing any number of reasons.
A day after his surprise removal, Rijiju said that he considered this move as the vision of the Prime Minister and not a punishment. Rijiju as Union Law Minister, seen as a man blatantly vocal against the Judiciary was abruptly replaced by a Member of Parliament from Rajasthan where Legislative Assembly Elections are to be held in the coming months. This may be more of a political reason than a disciplinary one.
His last few months were spent being at loggerheads with the Higher Judiciary as he was in favour of widening the dimension of the executive power in matters of Judicial appointments and regarding the embarrassment caused to the Union Government by his continuous diatribe against the Collegium System and the Supreme Court judges and even the retired judges. He made headlines in recent months regarding appointments of judges to the Supreme Court and High Courts and gave interviews to the media and tweeted his disagreements with the Higher Judiciary.
Law officers representing the Union Government had to face embarrassment before a Bench of Supreme Court regarding delays in notification of recommendations by the Collegium. His consequent reaction thereafter and his comments regarding a section of former Justices of Higher Judiciary drew flak and was condemned equally by retired civil servants, senior advocates and former judges.
The opposition parties may mock the Central Government that it has failed to replace a cordial and permanent Law Minister after the late Arun Jaitley, and this is true that there has been no one that could have acted as bridge between the Supreme Court and the Union Government.
It can be said that a practising Advocate of Supreme Court can prove him/her self to be a better Law Minister than an ordinary M.P. even being a non-practising law graduate as a lack of experience of legal practise specially before Constitutional Courts will be a drawback.
It is evident that there has been sustained spate of trolling against the present Chief Justice of India and other judges, on various social media platforms which are scandalous in nature and are bound to give a negative impression to the common man regarding the judicial system and also touches the fabric of Contempt of Court. The live reporting/tweeting of courtroom proceedings cannot depict the reality of the merit of the case to the layman and this should be regulated or guidelines drawn. The live courtroom proceedings' tweeting, sometimes, gives an impression that Judiciary is favouring the side of a particular political party which in reality is completely different inside the physical courtrooms, and it's environment. This should be taken care of immediately.
Both the Judiciary and Government, the integral part of our democracy, need to go hand in hand for smooth running of the democratic system of India. The Government should strictly avoid targeting or commenting over the Supreme Court, the Collegium system and the judges. The trolls need to stop criticising the present Chief Justice of India Justice DY Chandrachud who is the biggest advocate of Constitution of India, and claims that our Constitution is so great, that it even protects those who even try to destroy it. Trust my words, the CJI till his last day in the Supreme Court will work with the same enthusiasm and integrity while upholding the values and the norms of the Indian Constitution and rule of law with all the lawful means.
The author Ilin Saraswat is an advocate at the Supreme Court of India

Hemodynamic and ventilatory responses during exercise in chronic thromboembolic disease
Physiologic effects of pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) for chronic thromboembolic disease (CTED) were studied 1 year postop. PEA resulted in improved RV stroke volume response, heart rate response, and ventilatory efficiency related to exercise.
