Dinner and overnight in Masindi.
Day 3 - Murchison Falls National Park
Early morning we will drive towards Murchison Falls National Park. Murchison National Park occupies an area of 3840 square meters, is inhabited by 76 mammal species and 450 species of birds. Here we will have a graceful boat trip along the Victoria Nile to the great falls as we view clearly the hippopotamuses, crocodiles and birds. Then we leave the boat and trek (1 hour) to the top of the hill to see how the water falls makes its way through the rocks forming a great Murchison falls. After lunch we will take a ferry across the river Nile to the heart of Murchison Falls National Park and enjoy safari. We will be accompanied by a Uganda Wildlife Authority guide who are experts on the wildlife in the park and greatly increase your chances of finding the animals, so keep an eye out for the elephants, lions, and giraffes as well as large game herds.
Day 4 - Drive to Fort Portal. Walumbe Pits
We will drive to Fort Portal (450 km), and make a stop in the most mysterious place of Uganda – Tanda Pits (Walumbe Pits of Uganda). Walumbe pits are recesses in the rock, 1.5 meters wide and up to 70 meters long), going vertically downwards into the ground. There are 240 pits that bring questions of who could have spared the time to dig all these pits. Animals seem to keep away from this place, and the people who dared to go down into the depths of the pits, said that they were overcome with inexplicable horror.
Day 5 - Semliki National Park
After breakfast we drive to Semliki National Park crossing Rwenzori Mountains (60km). This impressive range includes the third highest mountain in Africa, Mt. Stanely which includes snow-capped Margherita peak (5109m). Semuliki National Park sprawls across the floor of the Semliki Valley on the remote, western side of the Rwenzori. We will walk in Semiliki tropical jungles (1 – 1.5 hour). The most captivating attractions here are the extraordinary panoramas, hot springs, bird watching, and primate viewing. We can boil food (eggs, bananas and cassava) in hot spring, a natural boiler, and eat it for a lunch! Leopards live in a park, but it is hard to see them, because they are nocturnal. But we certainly can see a lot of primates like white and black colobus and baboons. After trekking, we visit a village of pygmies and watch their dancing.
Day 6 - Chimps trekking in Kibale or Mahoma Falls trekking
Today we have a chance to do chimp trekking in Kibale National Park (extra 150 usd p/p). Chimp trekking is done in the mornings as you get to see the chimpanzees alongside other primates like grey- checked mangabey, black and white colobus, red tailed money, vervet monkey, olive baboons.

E-GEOD-2466 - Transcription profiling of genetically and clinically distinct subgroups of human B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients
Released on 25 August 2007, last updated on 27 March 2012
We used high density oligonucleotide arrays to identify molecular correlates of genetically and clinically distinct subgroups of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Gene expression profiling was used to profile the five most frequent genomic aberrations, namely deletions affecting chromosome bands 13q14, 11q22-q23, 17p13 and 6q21, and gains of genomic material affecting chromosome band 12q13. A strikingly high degree of correlation between loss or gain of genomic material and the amount of transcripts from the affected regions leads to the hypothesis of gene dosage as a significant pathogenic factor. Furthermore, the influence of the immunoglobulin variable heavy chain (VH) mutation status was determined. A clear distinction in the expression profiles of unmutated and mutated VH samples exists, which can be discovered using unsupervised learning methods. However, when samples were separated by gender, this separation could only be detected in samples from male patients. Since the samples were either hybridized onto HG-U95A arrays or onto HG-U95Av2 arrays, only genes common to both arrays were used for further analysis. This study is described in more detail in Haslinger C, et al. 2004.

Upon completion, a link will appear to access the found materials.
In recent years, varieties of crops that were previously considered exotic for our country and unsuitable for growing in difficult climatic conditions have increasingly begun to appear on the Russian horticultural market. One of them was a hybrid variety of Roksolana melon, intended for cultivation in the northern regions and capable of withstanding significant temperature changes.
The average fruit ripening period is 90 days. The advantage of the variety is the plant's resistance to most diseases of melons and gourds. The species tolerates the effects of anthracnose, peronosporosis well, and is not prone to rotting of the root system. The variety is characterized by powerful shoots with wide leaves, which easily protect the fruit from sunburn.
The variety belongs to the early maturing species and the average ripening period for fruits is 40-50 days. The fruit tolerates transportation well, which, together with its excellent taste, makes it possible to grow the crop on an industrial scale for commercial purposes.
What fruits does the plant give?
Small-sized fruits have a rounded slightly elongated shape. The average weight of one melon varies from 1.5 to 2.5 kg. Subject to the rules of agricultural cultivation, from 5 to 7 fruits are removed from one plant per season. The surface of ripe fruits is yellow-orange in color. The distinctive quality of the variety is:
- thin peel;
- juicy pulp;
- richness of taste;
- ability for long-term storage without loss of external and taste qualities.
Gardeners' reviews speak of the extraordinary sweetness of the Roksolana f1 melon, comparing its taste with the famous Kolkhoz Woman. Due to the high content of vitamins and minerals, the melon culture is a unique source of nutrients, has a beneficial effect on the activity of all systems of the human body.
Features of growing seedlings
Planting material is recommended to be purchased at specialized gardening shops and centers. For planting in the ground, the largest seeds are selected, after soaking them in gauze soaked in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 12 hours. Further, it is required to leave the seeds on wet gauze, after a certain time sprouts will appear from the material suitable for planting.
Planting is carried out in pots of small diameter made of peat, which in the future avoids the need for transplanting and reduces the risk of injury to the root system when planting in a permanent place. The soil for containers is prepared from the following components:
It is not recommended to plant more than 2 seeds in one pot. When 2 shoots appear at the same time, one is left, choosing the strongest and most viable sprout. The seedling container is covered with foil and placed in a warm, sunny place. At home, you can place the pots above a radiator or in a heated loggia.
To get a good harvest, it is important to pay attention to the right planting site. When planted in open ground in warm climates, the site should be located on a hill and receive a sufficient amount of sunlight. Melon should not be planted in the place of previous cultivation of similar melon crops. The possibility of transplanting seedlings occurs when the soil reaches a temperature of +15 ⁰C.
The soil for the melon should be loose and not acidic, contain a large amount of minerals. For planting, furrows are formed, the distance between which should be 60 cm. The depth of the recesses for seedlings is no more than 10 cm. It is recommended to enrich the soil composition in the place of the deepening with diluted manure, ash, humus and peat.
When growing horizontally after the ovary and the formation of the first fruits, it is necessary to put a base under the melons in the form of a small board, linoleum or other material that can protect them from damage as a result of contact with wet ground.
When grown vertically, trellises are prepared in advance, the height of which is 2 meters above ground level. As the bushes form, they are tied and fixed to the support. With this method of growing melons, it is necessary to place them in mesh bags and tie them to the trellis. This technique will allow the fruits to ripen and not fall due to the impossibility of escape to keep the weight of the fruit.
An important rule for obtaining a crop when grown in greenhouse conditions is to provide the shoots with sufficient periodic ventilation. The plant needs pollination with insects, to attract which it is recommended to spray the bushes with water and honey, and plant as many honey plants as possible near the open greenhouse structure.
Plants are watered once a week. An important factor for obtaining a crop is the periodic loosening of the soil and the removal of weeds, to the presence of which the variety is intolerant. Feeding is carried out every 2 weeks.
If by the end of the season the fruits of the melon did not have time to fully ripen, then for the Roksolana melon this is not a big problem. In this case, the fruits are removed from the bushes and placed in a warm place until ripening. When kept in a cool room, the fruits can be stored for a long time, which is convenient for their use as an additional source of nutrients and vitamins in the cold season with a shortage of fresh vegetables and fruits.
Pest and disease control methods
Despite the resistance of the melon variety to the main types of diseases of melons, the likelihood of their appearance is not excluded.
Recommendations for actions to be taken in case of problems are as follows:
- fusarium wilting - reduce watering, remove and burn the affected shoots, do not plant a melon crop in this place for 5 years;
- powdery mildew - spray the melon bushes with sulfur powder;
- the appearance of melon flies, spider mites, aphids — treat the plant with a chemical agent against pests or Bordeaux liquid.
To prevent diseases, the plant should not be limited in the flow of light, air, and excessive waterlogging of the soil should not be allowed.

Demystifying Minecraft Server Plugins: A Beginner's Guide
September 14, 2023
Minecraft, with its endless possibilities for creativity and adventure, has captured the hearts of gamers around the world. While the vanilla game provides a rich gaming experience, Minecraft servers take the gameplay to a whole new level. One of the key elements that elevate the experience on these servers is plugins. In this beginner's guide, we will demystify Minecraft server plugins, explaining what they are, how they work, and why they are essential for enhancing your Minecraft gameplay.
What Are Minecraft Server Plugins?
In the context of Minecraft servers, plugins are extensions or modifications that can be added to the game to alter its mechanics, features, and gameplay. Think of them as mini-applications that enhance your server's capabilities. They are created by the Minecraft community and can be installed on a server to customize and enhance the gaming experience.
How Do Plugins Work?
Plugins are written in the Java programming language and are designed to work seamlessly with Minecraft's server software. When you install a plugin on your server, it adds new functionality or modifies existing features. These modifications can range from adding new items, changing game rules, and introducing custom game modes to creating entirely new gameplay experiences.
Plugins interact with the Minecraft server through a set of predefined commands, events, and hooks. When a specific event occurs in the game, such as a player joining the server or breaking a block, a plugin can trigger custom actions or modify the outcome. This versatility allows server administrators to tailor their servers to meet the unique preferences of their player community.
Why Use Plugins on Minecraft Servers?
Enhanced Gameplay: Plugins can introduce new challenges, objectives, and gameplay modes that keep players engaged and excited. Whether you want to create a competitive PvP arena, a complex economy system, or a unique role-playing experience, plugins make it possible.
Community Building: Plugins can foster a strong sense of community among players. Features like custom chat systems, player rankings, and in-game rewards encourage social interaction and competition.
Server Management: Many plugins assist server administrators in managing and maintaining their server. These tools automate tasks like banning troublesome players, monitoring server performance, and ensuring a smooth gaming experience.
Security and Moderation: Plugins can enhance server security by preventing cheating and ensuring fair play. Anti-griefing plugins, for example, help protect players' creations from vandalism.
Customization: Plugins allow server owners to tailor their worlds to their vision. Whether you want to create a themed server, a unique survival experience, or a creative building paradise, plugins offer the flexibility to make it happen.
How to Install and Manage Plugins
Choose Your Plugins: Start by selecting the plugins you want to install. You can find a wide variety of plugins on Minecraft-related websites and forums.
Install a Plugin Manager: A plugin manager is a tool that simplifies the installation and management of plugins. Popular choices include "Bukkit," "Spigot," and "Paper."
Upload Plugins: Once you've chosen your plugins, upload them to your server's "plugins" folder. Be sure to follow the installation instructions provided by the plugin developer.
Configuration: Each plugin may have its own configuration options. Review the plugin's documentation to customize its settings to your liking.
Test and Tweak: After installing plugins, it's essential to thoroughly test them to ensure they work as intended. Tweak settings and permissions as needed to maintain a balanced and enjoyable gameplay experience.
Minecraft server plugins are the secret sauce behind many of the incredible, player-created worlds and experiences you can find on multiplayer servers. With a wide range of plugins available, you have the power to craft the Minecraft server of your dreams, tailored to your unique vision and the preferences of your player community. Embrace the world of plugins, experiment, and watch as your Minecraft server transforms into an immersive and dynamic gaming environment.

Angle bar, also known as L-bracket or angle Iron, is a 90° metal bracket that is often used in roof trusses. On support beams and structural platforms, Angle bars can also provide reliable stability and corrosion resistance.
Bending Angle Bars
Angle bar bending is a cost-effective approach to creating items with a variety of shapes that may be utilized in a variety of operations. Angle bar sizes vary but they ensure ease of use and are a quick approach to creating new items. Angle bar bending, its relevance, and the methods required for the process are all discussed here.
What is the Definition of Angle Bar Bending?
Angle bar bending is a process that includes applying forces to an angle bar to modify its shape. This is done to obtain the desired form or shape for a manufacturing process. Only the bar’s outward features are affected by the external force. The angle bar’s dimensions, such as length and thickness, remain unchanged. The angle bar’s malleability also allows it to be shaped in a variety of ways.
Methods of Bending Angle Bar
Angle bar bending procedures are similar in that they all have the same end aim of transforming angle bar constructions into the correct shapes. They do, however, operate differently. Knowing how to bend an angle bar requires an understanding of how the methods are determined by elements such as the thickness of the material, the size of the bend, the angle bar bend radius, and the intended purpose.
Roll Bending Angle Iron
The process of bending angle bar into rolls or curved shapes is known as roll bending.
To make different curves or a large round bend, the method uses a hydraulic angle rolling machine. Because it takes advantage of the spacing between its rollers to generate bends and curves.
angle bending process
Rolled angle bending is a cost-effective process that eliminates sharp edges, improves strength, angle rolling delivers functional and cosmetic value for many applications.
A common work of section bending machine (angle rolling machine) is make the angle ring or angle flange.
Angle ring also called angle flanges, commonly made of carbon steel, stainless steel or aluminum, an angle ring is made by rolling a piece of structural angle into a ring and then welding the ends together. Typically, the ring is rolled with the horizontal leg radiating out from the center to create what is called a “leg-out angle ring” (as opposed to a “leg-in angle ring” or “off-axis” angle ring.)
What are angle rings used for?
Angle rings are components in air systems where movement of air or movement of material by air is done. They are used in pollution control systems, agricultural equipment such as grain handling and a multitude of other applications.
How to bending angle?
Leg-out rolled angle rings resemble an old-time straw hat (minus the top) where the leg out would be the brim. Heel-in rolled angle rings look like, and can function as, pulleys. The most difficult orientation in angle bending is leg in. When not done correctly, there will be distortion in the horizontal leg (the leg in) that looks like an off-set. With the proper methods and tooling, this distortion will be avoided.
Angle rolled leg in should be specified by the O.D. of the ring for most cases since there are two I.D.’s of the ring; the I.D. of the easy way leg and the I.D. of the hard way leg. Heel out custom rolled angle should be specified by the outside diameter.Heel in angle should be specified by the inside diameter.
What can BIT angle bending machine do?
BIT section bending machine’s Bending angle bending may be performed on a variety of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and copper to make curves, angle iron rings, angle iron flanges, angle iron pipe supports, and many other parts.
Our section bending machine have the capabilities to bend angles in nine orientations, a claim not every company’s profile bending machines can do it. BIT section bending machines can produce leg in, leg out, short leg in, short leg out, long leg in, long leg out, heel in, heel out, and heel up angles to meet your specifications.
Hydraulic section bending machines can bending rolled angle rings that are bent off-axis, with multiple radii, helically, or into compound bends
BIT angle roller’s angle bending applications include but are not limited to:
- Angle flanges
- Tank supports
- Ladle lips
- Fan housings
- Tank supports
- Roof supports & roof systems
- Architectural accents
- Steering mechanisms
- Ladle lips
- In structural applications, angles are often used back-to-back to support roofs.
- Angle steel segments are used in steering mechanisms for farm equipment.
Angle Iron Bending Glossary
- Angle bending – A metal forming process used to form angle iron to a specific degree or angle.
Generally angle iron bending differs from angle iron rolling in that it is more concerned with forming the angle iron to a specific angle or degree, rather than a curve or radius.
Angle iron bending can sometimes be used as another word for angle iron rolling. Both refer to the metal forming processes in which angle irons are formed to a specific degree, radius or curve.
- Angle rolling – A metal forming process used to form angle iron into curves and or radiuses.
- Angle rolling leg-in – A metal forming process used to form angle iron into curves and or radiuses.
- Angle rolling legs-out – A metal forming process used to form angle iron into curves and or radiuses.

As the company boasts some of the most advanced equipment in the industry, CCO Peter Dijkstra discusses how Trymax Semiconductor Equipment B.V. has achieved this unique position.
WHEN PLASMA MATTERS
Amongst many titans of the manufacturing industry in the Netherlands, Trymax Semiconductor Equipment B.V. (Trymax) is the company of choice for the design, manufacture and marketing of plasma-based processing and equipment solutions.
Trymax was first founded in 2003. Its name stands as a re-lettering of the Matrix plasma asher machines that are widely regarded in the industry.
“Our mission was clear, to provide service and support for European customers who depended on Matrix-like machines,” Peter Dijkstra, CCO of Trymax begins.
As time went on, the company faced new challenges; between 2007 and 2009, it realised that the ageing Matrix machines had exceeded their serviceability limits, prompting Trymax to start manufacturing its own equipment.
This signified a major transformation, as it shifted from a service-orientated provider to a cutting-edge manufacturer.
“This strategic move allowed the organisation to adapt to the evolving semiconductor landscape and stay at the forefront of technological advancements,” Dijkstra tells us.
Trymax’s headquarters, situated in Nijmegen, has an impressive total capacity of 4,200 square metres (m2), which includes a manufacturing cleanroom, a state of the art demo lab, an engineering and manufacturing area, and a logistics, storage, and technical area, with an equipment build capacity of up to 250 toolsets per year.
When situated within the wider network of facilities, Trymax is proud to be the number one European semiconductor equipment cluster, with one of the strongest supply chains. This position is bolstered by the fact that Trymax does all its final assembly and testing in-house, ensuring streamlined operations and maximum efficiency across its entire production.
The company’s service offering entails diligent plasma solutions in ashing, descumming, etching, surface preparation, and ultraviolet (UV) curing and charge erasure. To achieve this, Trymax provides an industry-leading product line known as NEO, which is designed to address a wide range of applications throughout the semiconductor manufacturing process.
All platforms found in each NEO can handle two or more substrate types and sizes simultaneously without any hardware changes. Furthermore, each product has a strong focus on all types of substrate handling, catering to substrate sizes from 77 millimetres (mm) up to 330mm, with a focus on 150mm, 200mm and 300mm. Further features include platform flexibility with five different process modules, alongside a detailed system configuration based on the application specification budget.
With a global network of processing chambers, Trymax puts its burgeoning success down to the precision of its NEO products, as its equipment sets the company apart with its ability to process two different wafer sizes simultaneously. This feature proves particularly valuable in a transitioning market, such as the LED industry, in which Trymax’s machines can process wafer sizes from 150mm to 200mm, outrunning older machines that need extensive modifications to accommodate new wafer diameters.
“By already accommodating varying wafer sizes, Trymax’s machines mitigate the risks associated with equipment reconfiguration,” elaborates Dijkstra.
“An additional feature is the machine’s automatic recognition of wafer size and the ability to handle it seamlessly, streamlining production processes and enhancing efficiency.”
At the peak of Trymax’s innovative solutions, it deploys a sophisticated robot arm that can be equipped with several specialised substrate gripping tools, designed for a diverse range of uses, whilst greatly advancing the organisation’s product line.
CONTRIBUTING TO A BETTER WORLD
Correlating with the technical innovations of the company, Trymax is honoured to participate in a multitude of projects that facilitate a better and more sustainable future. Projects like SMART Photonics, for example, allow a much higher data exchange rate by using optical communication. This offers a vital aid to hospitals, providing significantly important components to a vast range of medical equipment.
Additionally, the power management integrated circuits (power IC) markets in each NEO have recently had a renewal, as the silicon was replaced by short interval control (SiC) material.
“Industry leaders have made a calculation that suggests if we replace all silicon material for power applications by SiC, we can skip 880 nuclear power plants worldwide, making a huge impact,” Dijkstra informs us.
Furthermore, as a key support to the company, Trymax’s logistics supply chain is essential for streamlined operations. Receiving all components and materials on time results in shorter lead times.
“We work very closely with all our suppliers. A good example of this was during the COVID-19 pandemic when a major German customer ordered several ashing tools. We couldn’t supply all the tools on time, due to missing an essential component from a German company.
“Following our customer’s intervention, who purchased the missing component, we managed to reduce the delayed shipping time, providing an indispensable helping hand,” he recalls.
QUALITY AND QUANTITY
As the year continues, Trymax is focusing on increasing its market share in the manufacturing industry. It has much to look forward to as the semiconductor sector expands its capabilities, including new UV curing technology.
To be a proactive part of the industry shift, the company brings to the fore the NEO 2000UV tool, an advanced UV curing and charge erasure system which utilises a single UV bulb. The new equipment acts as a bridge tool for two wafer diameters and is specifically designed for applications from three to eight-inch substrates, enabling greater accuracy.
Consequently, due to its highly ultra-modern technology and influential presence in the industry, Trymax has experienced market recognition from many major automotive suppliers to the German, South Korean, North American, and Japanese car industries.
“We’re currently number one in Europe and number two in China. Additionally, we recently opened a sales and service office in the US. As such, our target is to increase sales, but without losing quality, performance and innovation,”

(NEXSTAR) — Since news of the ill-fated Titan submersible voyage broke, the incident — which ultimately killed all five people aboard — has seemingly united many who found humor in the situation, or else, unity among those who expressed disgust at jokes about such a gruesome death for those aboard, including a 19-year-old.
Through Wednesday and into Thursday, the OceanGate incident dominated social media site trends. Among many of these posts were memes about the perceived ignorance of boarding such a voyage to begin with.
A Reddit thread in /NoStupidQuestions posed the question many on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook may have been wondering: How are so many people comfortable making jokes about the Titanic submarine?
One main reason given for the perceived glee or dismissiveness with which the incident has been met with is summed up in a German word: “schadenfreude.” As defined by Merriam-Webster, “schadenfreude” means enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others — generally this enjoyment is reserved for those considered by individuals to be “above” themselves.
In this case, the fact that the people aboard were wealthy (or at least wealthy enough to afford the $250,000 per passenger ticket cost), appears to have made it easier to joke about for some. In recent years, Americans’ views about billionaires have changed significantly.
While 2021 Pew Research showed a narrow majority of Americans saying billionaires were neither “good” or “bad,” the share of people who said billionaires existing is “bad” rose 8 points (to 42%) in just one year.
Other research points to increasingly negative attitudes toward the uber-wealthy as sparked by both the COVID-19 pandemic and the racial justice movement. As reported by Vox and Data for Progress, 52% of Americans polled said it’s “unfair” the richest Americans got richer during the pandemic. Additionally, about 49% of Americans (of all three majority political affiliations) said they had negative feelings about billionaires.
In reference to the Titan incident, many online felt making light of a billionaire’s death was taking the ‘Billionaires Should Not Exist’ social movement too far.
“It’s weird to me that [people are] so quick to be like ‘lmao billionaires stuck in the ocean hope they [don’t] make it’ [without] even thinking that these people have families who will miss them. You don’t need to humanize a billionaire but some of [you] have zero sympathy,” tweeted one user Wednesday.
As of Thursday afternoon, the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed the Titan submersible had imploded near the wreckage of the Titanic, with OceanGate Expeditions releasing a statement acknowledging the deaths of the five killed.
Though “gallows humor” (also known as black humor) is a long-storied form of entertainment making light of tragedies or misfortunes, there are scientific reasons why people engage in it.
“One of the reasons we laugh at tragedy is that it makes the enormity of the issue easier to deal with,” psychologist Dr. Linda Papadopoulos told BBC, though she added a follow-up. “But we do live in a society where tragedy has become something that we’ve become conditioned to laugh at.”
Los Angeles Times writer Jessica Gelt also opined Thursday that the remoteness and anonymity of social media makes it easier to joke about things you wouldn’t normally say out loud.
“Imagine for a moment that there was a camera inside of the Titan and we could watch the mounting desperation in its hull. If we had to actually look at the pain in the dying men’s eyes, would we still joke about it?”
Many online also pointed to a recent tragedy in Greece, where an estimated 209 Pakistani migrants were aboard a boat that capsized. Even though an estimated 82 people have officially been declared dead, many say lack of media coverage is a clear indicator of the types of people who get media coverage and pleas for sympathy (wealthy, white) and those who don’t (poor, migrants).
“The Titanic submarine is a modern morality tale of what happens when you have too much money, and the grotesque inequality of sympathy, attention and aid for those without it,” editor Ash Sakar tweeted Thursday.
Proximity to the Titanic wreckage may additionally be a factor in reaction to the event. Even 111 years after the Titanic sank, people whose grandparents weren’t even alive at that time are obsessed with the tragedy.
“The disaster has become so invested with mythical status,” writes literary biographer Andrew Wilson in his 2012 book, “Shadow of the Titanic,” portions of which appeared in Smithsonian Magazine. “It’s been said that the name Titanic is the third most widely recognized word in the world, after ‘God’ and ‘Coca-Cola.’”
There have been at least 15 films involving the ship, in addition to countless documentaries. Most notable among the cinematic depictions is 1997’s “Titanic,” directed by James Cameron. The mega-blockbuster has grossed over $1.8 billion since its release, helped catapult the careers of stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, and snagged the Academy Award for Best Picture. Céline Dion’s smash hit “My Heart Will Go On” — featured both in the film and on its soundtrack — also remains one of music’s best-selling singles, serving as a musical reminder of the movie and the ship.
Wealth also factored into the equation at that time. Some of the U.S. and Europe’s most notable society members were aboard the Titanic, including American socialite Molly Brown, and multi-millionaire tycoons John Jacob Astor IV and Benjamin Guggenheim. Both Astor and Guggenheim died in the disaster.
Victims aboard the Titan were businessman Hamish Harding; explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet; OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush; and businessman Shahzada Dawood and his teen son, Suleman.

At this time of crisis, it is too soon for us to estimate how all of these impacts will affect our results, which will depend on a whole range of factors including the extent and duration of the pandemic, the preventive and support measures implemented by governments in the countries where we operate, and the eligibility of our staff for temporary lay-off support schemes.
Despite the significant economic fallout from this major crisis, we remain confident in our ability to overcome the present situation. We have a sound financial position, with low debt and access to available bilateral credit facilities. Our activities are sustainable on the long-term, and the current crisis will demonstrate the legitimacy of these businesses. As a consequence, we have to make the logical decision to suspend the objectives we announced in February 2020, until the situation becomes clearer.

WASHINGTON — Poland announced a two-phased plan to buy a missile defense system from the U.S. in a memorandum of intent that makes political headway but is no closer to minting an actual deal than it was earlier this year when the country said it would buy Patriot missile defense systems by the year's end.
Polish Defense Minister Antoni Macierewicz disclosed the memo signed by Bartosz Kownacki, Poland's deputy minister of defense, and U.S. Vice Adm. J.W. Rixey, the director of the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency, during a Thursday press briefing in Poland on the heels of a quick visit to Warsaw by U.S. President Donald Trump, who praised the Poles for wanting to buy Patriot.
The discussion between Poland and the U.S. government regarding the purchase of the Raytheon-made Patriot system seemed to have hit a roadblock in June, according to several Polish reports, due to technology transfer issues and delivery timeline hurdles.
The country announced in March it was submitting a revised letter of request to the U.S. for eight Patriot batteries for its Wisla program and hoped to finalize a contract by November.
Discussions kicked off following the submission of the letter, but Poland made several unique requests that complicated the deal.
Macierewicz specified in March that Poland wanted the first two batteries to have Northrop Grumman’s not yet fielded Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System, or IBCS, included by 2019, and the following six Patriots to have a new 360-degree radar, which Patriot currently does not have.
The major problem with such a request is that the U.S. Army has yet to field IBCS and is now substantially delayed by four years and won’t reach an initial operational capability until the third quarter of fiscal year 2022.
The memorandum accepts a new timeline to receive the first two Patriot batteries (four fire units) with IBCS and PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement missiles beginning in 2022 with initial operational capability reached in 2023. A letter of agreement for those batteries will be finalized by the end of year, according to the memo.
A second round of requirements will be satisfied in a "Phase II" letter of agreement to be signed at the end of 2018 that would include a plan to integrate Skyceptor interceptors, which Poland wants to build in the country, and upgrade the systems to a 360-degree threat detection capability with an active electronically scanned array for the remaining six batteries.
The memo also notes the U.S. government’s intent to transfer as much technology as policy allows to include technology related to Skyceptor missiles and the 360-degree radar.
Macierewicz said during Thursday’s briefing that obtaining the Skyceptor missile and 360-degree radar technology is critical to the country during negotiations and noted this was the subject of talks personally between himself and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.
While the memo shows a serious commitment between the two governments, the document itself states that it is not legally binding under international law.
Raytheon said Thursday that it "continues to support the U.S. and Polish governments as the Wisla acquisition moves through the Foreign Military Sales process. Poland’s acquisition of Patriot will enable the Polish military to defend Poland’s sovereignty, and at the same time address Poland’s industrial and technology transfer needs."
Poland has struggled over the course of many years to rapidly procure an air-and-missile defense system as Russia’s behavior in the region continues to distress neighboring countries. The country wanted a system so fast it booted two systems still under development — Lockheed Martin’s Medium Extended Air Defense System and Israel’s David’s Sling — from its competition several years ago, opting to choose between Patriot and an offering from a French consortium.
Germany and Italy are continuing to develop MEADS.
Negotiations have grown increasingly complicated in Poland when it comes to buying a system that meets its requirements for a highly mobile, 360-degree protected system where the country would do a substantial amount of in-country, high-level engineering and manufacturing of critical system parts.
And with those complicated negotiations — and an election of a new government that further delayed movement — Poland is potentially poised to see a fully 360-degree radar incorporated into the system 10 years down the road, according to industry analysts.
What that radar will look like also remains to be seen. The U.S. Army will procure a new 360-degree radar, kicking off a competition next year to pick one. Raytheon has a next-generation 360-degree gallium nitride (GaN) AESA radar under development that is already at a high level of technology readiness, so Poland could choose that radar, or it could try to buy what the U.S. Army decides to integrate into its future system if it is not the Raytheon radar.
But since the U.S. Army’s decision on a radar remains unknown, Poland could end up with a completely different radar than the U.S. should it procure ahead of the U.S. government.
Several Polish reporters and analysts took to social media following the press briefing debating the true meaning and significance of the memo and how the deal might actually work out for the Poles based on their requirements and needs.
Marek Swierczynski of Polityka Insight tweeted that the memo leaves much to be negotiated and shows the difficulty of delivering what Poland is requesting.
And Juliusz Sabak from Defence24.pl tweeted while the memo was just a political declaration, he would eagerly be awaiting the letter of agreement from the U.S.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a mood disorder and form of depression that usually occurs in the late fall and winter months when the days get shorter and colder. SAD can manifest due to the reduction in sunlight and commonly happens where days are cloudier. Locations that are further from the earth’s equator experience more darkness during the day, putting people at high risk of developing SAD symptoms. However, there are ways to cope with SAD and manage symptoms of depression.
Symptoms of SAD
Symptoms of SAD can happen at any time of the year but are more common during late fall and winter. According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms specific to winter-onset SAD include oversleeping, appetite changes, weight gain, tiredness, or low energy.
Sunlight increases the brain’s serotonin, which is a hormone linked to boosting mood and energy. It also helps to keep a person calm and focused. Many antidepressants raise serotonin levels, which is why they are commonly used to treat depression and anxiety.
With less sunlight, the brain releases a hormone known as melatonin, responsible for helping a person sleep. When days are shorter during the winter, melatonin levels rise earlier and can lead to mood changes associated with SAD. Johns Hopkins sleep expert Luis F. Buenaver, Ph.D., C.B.S.M. explains, melatonin “doesn’t make you sleep, but as melatonin levels rise in the evening, it puts you into a state of quiet wakefulness that helps promote sleep.”
The Importance of a Healthy Diet to Cope with Symptoms of SAD
Many people who struggle with SAD eat more carbohydrate-rich foods, especially ones that are sweet and starchy. This can contribute to excessive weight gain and weight-related health issues, affecting self-esteem and worsening depression symptoms. However, the body does need certain carbohydrates in moderation. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, “Your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose. Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main energy source for your body’s cells, tissues, and organs. Glucose can be used immediately or stored in the liver and muscles for later use.” Instead of excessively consuming carbohydrate-rich foods, you can implement more high fiber foods into your diet. These can help you feel fuller, prevent intestinal problems, help lower cholesterol, and overall improve how you feel about yourself.
As days become darker, there is less sunlight, and the sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D. This means our bodies might not get a sufficient amount of vitamin D when the days are shorter. Eating fruits and vegetables are a great source of vitamin D and can help boost mood, promote good physical health, and regulate sleep patterns.
Stay Physically Active and Exercise
Staying physically active through exercise can help you stay healthy, improve mental health, and elevate mood. Exercise is a physically powerful way to lessen symptoms of seasonal depression. It stimulates the release of brain chemicals such as serotonin, endorphins, and dopamine. These neurotransmitters are responsible for mood regulation and promote a sense of wellbeing. Exercise can also reduce levels of stress that may contribute to depressive symptoms. When you focus your mind on physical activity, you can get away from the cycle of negative thoughts that feed depression.
It is not necessary to participate in a rigorous exercise routine to reap the benefits of physical activity. Any type of physical activity that gets you off the couch and moving can help improve your mood. Exercising 30 minutes per day for three to five days a week may significantly improve depression symptoms. However, exercising for as little as 10 to 15 minutes can make a difference too. Exercise can be as simple as taking a walk around the neighborhood, gardening, or even washing your car. Broaden how you think of exercise and find ways to add small activities throughout your day.
Engage in Social Activities
Isolation and staying indoors can worsen symptoms of SAD and depression. Although COVID-19 can make in-person connections difficult, reach out to friends and family or check on a neighbor to stay engaged socially. You can even plan gatherings over Zoom, Skype, or FaceTime. Sometimes talking to others experiencing the same symptoms of SAD or depression can make you feel better.
Join a support group, online forum, class, or other activity of interest or hobby. Staying socially active can improve your mood, reduce symptoms of depression, and give you a sense of belonging.
Treatment for SAD and Depression
Treatment is available for people who struggle with seasonal depression. At Achieve Concierge, we offer psychotherapy and medication to treat mood disorders, such as seasonal depression. We develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and work to deliver total wellness for the mind, body, and spirit. We can teach you how to cope with the symptoms of a mood disorder.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) can affect every aspect of a person’s life. Symptoms can make it challenging to complete daily tasks, go to work or school, and stay active. However, maintaining a healthy diet, staying physically active, and socializing with loved ones can help lessen the symptoms of SAD. Often, those who suffer from SAD can also struggle with major depressive disorder and anxiety. If left untreated, a person with SAD or other mental health disorders is at higher risk of using drugs or alcohol to cope with their symptoms. We provide adult and adolescent psychiatric services and care, neuropsychology, naturopathic care, nutrition consultations, and many other functional and clinical services. We offer same-day appointments as well as telemedicine appointments. If you have a hard time coping with SAD, it may be time to seek professional help.

Brought to you by the party apparatchniks of Columbia, South Carolina.
Police officers will now be assigned to patrol the city center and keep homeless people out. They will also be instructed to strictly enforce the city's "quality of life" laws, including bans on loitering, public urination, and other violations. And just to ensure that no one slips through, the city will set up a hotline so local businesses and residents can report the presence of a homeless person to police.Officer. There's a, a, a HOMLESS PERSON a hundred yards away. I'm looking right at her. She's, she's, she's STANDING THERE HOMELESS. Help, I'm so afraid.
In order to accommodate all the homeless people who will now be banned... a local charity ((will maintain an)) emergency shelter on the outskirts of town open 24 hours a day... it's unlikely the shelter, which can handle 240 guests, will be enough to handle the local homeless population, which numbers more than six times ((that)).
Homeless people can stay at the shelter, but they're not permitted to walk off the premises. In fact, Columbia will even post a police officer on the road leading to the shelter to ensure that homeless people don’t walk towards downtown. If they want to leave, they need to set up an appointment and be shuttled by a van.
But you aren't. Go away.
How, you might wonder, is one identified homeless? The ACLU wonders the same thing.
Dunn, of the ACLU, goes further. "The police are being invited to profile by how somebody looks," she said. "If you appear to be a homeless person, you have no right to be in an area because you're interfering with business?"Obviously, if you are dressed in a business suit, you are not interfering with business. This suggests that a good tactic for the the ACLU in this case would be to invest in business suits for all the homeless.
What do Columbia officials think about this obvious discrimination?
Runyan, who has been working on the homelessness issue almost since his term in office began last year, said he does not understand the pushback.Busted?
"We don't think there is any (constitutional) violation," he said.
Interestingly, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled otherwise in a similar case.
The state of Michigan may no longer toss homeless men and women in jail for the crime of asking for a few coins so that they can eat. According to decision handed down by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit last week, a decades-old state law prohibiting "begging in a public place" violates the First Amendment’s free speech guarantee. In Grand Rapids, Michigan alone, the law was enforced 409 times against people asking for money. People arrested under this law faced up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine. One person was jailed for holding a sign reading "Cold and Hungry, God Bless."Maybe the ACLU could squeeze in a lawsuit along with the cost of the business suits.

Health Minister John Boyce has praised the Barbados International Business Association (BIBA) and its partners for their continued commitment to the strengthening of the health care system in Barbados.
Speaking today at a presentation ceremony of two autoclave machines by BIBA to the Eunice Gibson Polyclinic in Warrens, Mr. Boyce disclosed that over the last five years, BIBA had donated more than BDS$350 000 in equipment and educational materials to the island’s polyclinics.
Today’s donation, valued at BDS$40 000, is part of a $168 000 commitment to the Eunice Gibson Polyclinic. The two major donors were Chancery Reinsurance Limited and Shell Western.
The Health Minister said that the new equipment would augment the Polyclinic’s infection control programme, noting that proper sterilisation of medical devices, instruments and supplies used in the direct care of patients was a critical aspect of the primary health care delivery system.
He disclosed that other equipment which would be provided to the Polyclinic through the charity’s future fundraising efforts included Vital Signs Monitors and OB/GYN equipment and instruments. The equipment earmarked for the Polyclinic was outlined in a prospectus developed by the polyclinic and BIBA last year.
Mr. Boyce said that the healthcare system faced many challenges that revolved not only around financing, but also an aging infrastructure and the pursuit of costly advances in treatments and appropriate health technology.
There were also higher operating expenses, he added, especially associated with the treatment and prevention of non-communicable diseases and the impact of violence and road traffic accidents.
“The Government of Barbados continues, despite all the challenges, to strive to provide the highest affordable quality health care possible and guarantee universal access to health care.
“Our commitment to healthcare delivery, along with philanthropic contributions such as this one, is emerging as a significant means by which our healthcare system can enhance the availability of resources,” the Minister of Health concluded.

FBI Agent Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock must discover whether Savich's sister's car crash was a suicide attempt, or a murder conspiracy to gain her extremely valuable paintings.
There’s fiction and then there’s Catherine Coulter’s ridiculous attempts at fiction. This book, albeit better than Riptide, had too many storylines that never meshed, defying logic. The characters had no depth, and her heroes always have blue or green eyes, and the villains are described so stereotypically, either short, squat mafia types or Snidely Whiplash, the Dudley DoRight villain. And, as always, the hero falls in love with the damsel in distress, and she falls in love with him. Same stuff, different names, locations, and times. And, of course, her classic contrived endings...
Having said all of this, I guess it’s obvious that I don’t recommend this book. Pure nonsense. I’m done reading her books.
Ms. Coulter's husband and wife FBI team seemed a bit shallow and stale in this novel where they assumed a somewhat secondary role. The romance between two other characters was highly improbable given the female's recently failed marriage and associated trauma, and the instantaneous transgenderism and ability to summon "ghouls" for evil acts by another central character was just plain ridiculous. I think the author, of whom I have been a fan, needs to return to her traditional mystery-telling roots and leave a hodgepodge such as this to lesser writers.
This addition to the FBI series has gone a bit over the edge relative to reality. I don't do SciFi and this one is over that edge.

Standard Four pupil and one woman killed in Kisauni quarry
| Apr 19th 2021 | 2 min read
A Standard Four pupil and a woman died earlier today at a quarry while they harvested sand in Kashiani area of Bamburi in Kisauni.
The girl has been identified as 12-year-old Samiha Mwalimu. She was a pupil at Kashiani Primary School.
The other victim who died was identified as Mwanajumaa Keah.
Samiha was at the quarry with her mother Salama Karisa who sustained injuries and is currently being treated at Coast General Hospital.
Karisa sustained head, spine and limb injuries but her husband Mwalimu Yaa says she is in stable condition.
Samiha had accompanied her mother, a smallscale sand seller, who had gone to pick sand from the quarry when it caved in at around 7am.
Keah lost her brother Jumaa Kitungu, 40, in the same quarry last year, according to their brother Hamisi who said he watched helplessly as the quarry caved in.
"I warned them to get out but as she was struggling to climb it caved in. I could not do anything," he said.
Residents said had they received proper equipment to dig out the sand after the quarry caved in, they would have saved the victims who were buried alive.
Most families in Kashiani depend on sand harvesting from the quarry.
Deputy county commissioner Jamleck Mbuba said the quarry has been shut down to allow for investigations.
Mbuba said security officials are in consultation with the experts to ascertain the situation before next action is taken.
"The place remains a scene of crime and no any would step there. We have also notified a team of experts, including the county government, as investigations continue,” he said.

Reds lose to Brewers in 9th, 3-2
Published 7:43 pm Sunday, September 14, 2014
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Cincinnati manager Bryan Price called for an intentional walk of Milwaukee slugger Ryan Braun with the winning run on third.
The next batter, Gerardo Parra, got a free pass, too. The goal was to get a double play, but Lyle Overbay wrecked that plan with one big swing.
Overbay drove a first-pitch fastball from Jumbo Diaz into the gap in left-center for a game-ending RBI single with one out in the ninth in Milwaukee’s 3-2 victory Friday night.

“We kind of had to pick our poison there. Thought we had a better chance. (Overbay) doesn’t run as well as Parra. It’s going for the double play right there, and he did his job,” Price said.
The Reds had won three in a row. Milwaukee won its third straight to keep pace in the National League playoff race.
The Brewers stayed 1 1/2 games back of Pittsburgh for the second NL wild card.
“It was meant to be down, outside, but he got a pretty good swing on it and they won the game,” Reds catcher Brayan Pena said.
Teammates mobbed Overbay as he rounded first base. The crowd celebrated by putting two arms up to form a circle in the shape of an “O” for Overbay.
“That was one of the coolest things in a while, since I actually looked up and saw it,” Overbay said. “That was pretty cool.”
The veteran left-handed hitter had struck out two innings earlier on a steady diet of pitches down and away in the zone. Overbay was determined not to let that happen against Diaz (0-1), so he employed an aggressive approach.
“I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss it,” Overbay said when asked if he was looking to hit the first pitch. “The at-bat before I was a little tentative and they were pounding me low and away.”
Cincinnati wasted a surprising outing by spot starter Daniel Corcino, who allowed just two hits and two runs in six innings. He filled in for the injured Mat Latos.
Corcino even got his first big league hit on a single in the third. He was told Thursday he might be needed to start against Milwaukee.
“As soon as I get to the mound I forgot about everything. You know, you’ve got to do the job,” Corcino said.
Jonathan Lucroy had a leadoff double in the ninth for Milwaukee. It was his 44th double as a catcher this season, tying the National League record set last year by St. Louis’ Yadier Molina.
Cincinnati had a chance to go in front in the top of the ninth against Francisco Rodriguez (5-5).
Brandon Phillips led off with a four-pitch walk and made it to third on a sacrifice and groundout. After Zack Cozart walked, pinch-hitter Jack Hannahan struck out looking on a 3-2 fastball.
Hannahan was so unhappy with the call that he had to be restrained by Price. Hannahan ended up getting ejected by home plate umpire Dan Iassogna.
Reds: Latos was scratched with a bone bruise in his right elbow. The right-hander missed the first 2 1/2 months of the season with right elbow and left knee injuries.
Brewers: LF Khris Davis was out of the starting lineup for a second straight day with right forearm tightness. Davis, who has a team-high 22 homers, will likely start on Saturday, manager Ron Roenicke said.
Reds: LHP David Holmberg (0-1) threw 5 2-3 scoreless innings on Monday after replacing injured starter Dylan Axelrod. Now, Holmberg gets the start Saturday for his first career appearance against Milwaukee.
Brewers: RHP Yovani Gallardo (8-9) will try to snap out of a tough stretch after going 0-3 with a 5.95 ERA in his last four starts.

Ribbon cut at PokerStars Macau
Today, in a first of its kind event, PokerStars cut the ribbon on the brand new and first live poker room in Macau.
Players from all over China walked into the Grand Waldo Casino today to see the opening of PokerStars Macau. Surrounded by hordes of local press, APPT President Jeffrey Hass, Grand Waldo Casino General Manager Gary Woolard, Team PokerStars Pro Lee Nelson, and Hong Kong actor Kevin Cheng cut the ribbon and opened the doors of the live poker room.
This weekend will see the first ever tournaments played in the new room. The Macau Poker Cup China Earthquake Relief Charity Tournament kicked off the big weekend. PokerStars donated more than 150,000 HKD to help the Red Cross Society of China aid the stricken regions of mainland China. Among the prizes for the inaugural event:
Entries for the 54 players who chose to buy-in amounted to $117,000 HKD that PokerStars then matched, making it a 234,000 HKD donation (not including the 150,000 HKD in donated prizes for the event). Another 4,000 HKD was donated by three players who placed in the money after they chose to turn the tournament seats for which they qualified into cash donations to the Red Cross.
Celebrities from all over China and the poker world came for the first big day at PokerStars Macau.
The winners of the kickoff charity tournament are all familiar faces on the APPT. The top three places went to Fabio Kim, Bob Hwang, and Jeppe Drivsholm (who has the distinction of being the first person to ever be knocked out of an APPT event after suffering his elimination at the APPT Manila event last year).
The opening weekend at PokerStars Macau continues with some big tournaments and cash games over the course of the next couple of days. Come back here for more updates on the historic events in Macau.

Isolation of Novel Marine Chitinolytic Actinomycete Streptosporangium Sp. and Production Optimization of Extracellular Chitinase
Authors(2) :-Jebitta M Shirlin, J. M. V Kalaiarasi
Chitin is the second most abundant natural polymer and widely distributed as a structural component of crustaceans, insects, and other arthropods, as well as a component of the cell walls of most fungi and some algae. Chitinase (EC 18.104.22.168) enzyme is capable of hydrolyzing insoluble chitin to its oligo and monomeric components found in a variety of organisms including viruses, bacteria, fungi insects, higher plants and animals. In the present study, a rare marine actinomycete strain Streptosporangium sp. was isolated from the marine sediments and screened for its ability to degrade chitin. The effects of media composition and various fermentation conditions were optimized. Maximum chitinase activity was observed in the CCMB medium with 0.1% of colloidal chitin. The optimum pH value was found to be 7 and the temperature range was 350C. Highest chitinase activity was observed on the 14th day of incubation, where the growth of the organism was found to be maximum

Bret Iwan, Disney's Official Voice of Mickey Mouse, and Illustrator
Dave Bossert and Aljon Go chat with Bret Iwan, Disney's Official Voice of Mickey Mouse, and illustrator about his life and career in art and voicing the iconic Mickey Mouse! The duo also talk about the latest pop-culture news, box office, and streaming news.
Iwan is the fourth and current official voice of Mickey Mouse, a role that he assumed from the late Wayne Allwine. He graduated from the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. In 2004, he became an illustrator at Hallmark. Iwan first recorded Mickey Mouse dialogue for the Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park and 2009 shows Disney On Ice: Celebrations and Disney Live: Rockin' Road Show. He voiced Mickey Mouse in Have a Laugh! He gave his first full performance as Mickey Mouse for the English version of the PlayStation Portable game Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. His first voice-over work in a Disney Park could be heard in the Animal Kingdom closing show "Adventurers' Celebration Gathering" as well as on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover attraction at the Magic Kingdom, in which upon passing through Mickey's Star Traders, Mickey responds with his signature laugh and says "That's right, it's outta this world!"*
