BREMERTON, Wash. –
In direct alignment with the U.S. Navy’s “Get Real, Get Better,” initiative, the Naval Sustainment System-Shipyards’ (NSS-SY) Engineering Pillar is promoting ways to accomplish work faster, safer and with the highest quality. Recently, the NSS-SY Engineering Intervention Board (EIB) worked to improve the maintenance of firemain piping on aircraft carriers as one of its improvement initiatives.
The firemain system aboard aircraft carriers distributes pressurized seawater for firefighting, cooling and washdown services. It is one of the most mission-critical fluid distribution systems aboard naval ships and provides a cooling medium for key equipment. Because it is so vital to the entire ship’s water flow, the isolation valves in firemains are designed not only to enable routine maintenance but, more importantly, to continue support for the ship and its crew after a system incurs battle damage.
“A freeze seal creates a mass of ice within a pipe that prevents water movement– similar to a shut valve,” said Michael Tracy, NSS-SY Engineering Pillar lead, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility. “The freeze seals consist of two sections of coiled copper tubing, with eight coiled loops per section. Each eight-coil section is fed by an independent liquid nitrogen supply line.”
Norfolk Naval Shipyard, and PSNS & IMF, along with partner shipyards, have tested the use of freeze seals to replace 12-inch firemain isolation valves on nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. The first carrier to use freeze seals during maintenance is USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75).
Prior to the use of freeze seals, mechanical firemain isolation was challenging and often required the closure of three or four valves in each direction to obtain the necessary isolation. Because there are a number of areas of the ship and pieces of essential equipment which also require water flow from these valves, the use of freeze seals was implemented to reduce the need to close multiple valves and to save mechanics valuable time and resources.
“The intent of freeze seals is to have a single location rather than the dual freeze seal set up that was successful in earlier tests,” said Floyd Beckwith, branch manager, Code 267, Surface Ship Non-Propulsion Piping Waterfront Support Branch at Norfolk Naval Shipyard.
Freeze seal testing aboard Truman began in July 2022. Testing of the single expanded freeze seal was successful on the mock-up assembly, with the freeze seal solidifying in approximately 23 hours.
Installation of freeze seals aboard Truman was successfully performed in March 2023 to support replacement of firemain second-deck header isolation valves. A freeze seal was established on the 12-inch second deck firemain header piping to isolate one side of the work area. The freeze seal was fully formed within 36 hours.
“The coordination and set-up time to create the freeze seal was significant, but the results were excellent,” said Beckwith.
Since March, PSNS & IMF has been coordinating with Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s Code 267 and 2310, Reactor Engineering Division, to document the procedures, results and lessons learned. Once data is analyzed, the routine use of freeze seals will be rolled out to all Navy public shipyards.
“At PSNS & IMF, we will begin training the workforce on using firemain freeze seals and developing standard work,” Tracy said. “This provides an opportunity for shipyard employees to expand their skill sets and push innovation forward.”
The development and use of freeze seals is just one example of how the shipyards are working together to help the Navy complete maintenance faster. The NSS-SY EIB is seeking to sponsor more great improvements like this one.
If you have an idea for improving a process, please contact PSNS & IMF’s NSS-SY team in Building 457, or by email at psns.nss-sy. email@example.com.

New interview of Taylor Schilling with RadioTimes
From Radio Times
Orange Is The New Black began life as the tale of a woman (Taylor Schilling’s Piper Chapman) who ends up in prison for helping an ex girlfriend smuggle drugs, but in the four years since its debut on Netflix it’s become so much more. The spectacular wall of framed magazine covers at the entrance to the production office is evidence of that.
“I knew when we made it that it was something very special,” says Taylor Schilling, “but I don’t think I ever thought ahead in the way that would allow me to conceive of it being what it is now.”
A map on the wall behind us, which details the layout of the prison, momentarily distracts her. “I’m going to take it with me and figure out a way to burrow out of Lichfield!”
Her fellow cast members cherish this series too, but why do they think viewers have become so fond of it? “I think honesty and authenticity of the relationships is really what zings with people,” says Schilling. “I’m so thrilled that the show is touching so many people. I still am baffled by it a little bit.”
Schilling is most proud of the fact that the show has tapped into a much bigger conversation about the US prison system. She and her castmates have learned a lot about the women’s prison system through their work with advocacy groups, and would really like to see things change.
“It’s atrocious,” she says of the current set up. “Season five really opens it up. There’s less room for character development and it’s more focusing on the political implications within the prison and outside of the prison of an inmate takeover.”

AbstractBackground: The Pathway represents a longitudinal program for medical students, consisting of both domestic and international experiences with poor populations. A previous study reported no significant attitudinal changes toward the medically indigent between Pathway and non-Pathway students. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate and differentiate the skills and attitudes of Pathway and non-Pathway students in working with culturally diverse populations by conducting quantitative and qualitative analyses. Methods: Selected items from a cultural assessment were analyzed using independent t-tests and a proportional analysis using approximation of the binomial distribution. In addition, a qualitative assessment of non-Pathway and Pathway students was conducted. Results: A statistically significant difference was found at the end of Years 2, 3, and 4 regarding student confidence ratings, and qualitative results had similar findings. Conclusions: Clear and distinct differences between the two studied groups were found indicating the root of this increased confidence may have developed due to exposure to the Pathway program.

UW women extend streak over WSU to 36 games
Kristi Kingma calmly made five of six free throws in the final 30 seconds to seal Washington's 79-72 win against WSU on Sunday.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Latest from the Husky Football & Basketball blogs
NCAA formally closes Tosh Lupoi case; no penalties handed down NEW - 2/03, 11:28 AM
Morning links: Arizona's Brandon Ashley out for season NEW - 2/03, 04:08 AM
PULLMAN — Kristi Kingma isn't expecting to play organized basketball after her career at Washington.
She underwent reconstructive surgery on her right knee in 2011. And she's anticipating another procedure on the knee this spring. For the Mill Creek native, this season is it.
And there was no way a loss to Washington State was going to be part of her résumé.
Kingma calmly made five of six free throws in the final 30 seconds to seal a 79-72 win against WSU on Sunday. Her Huskies swept the Cougars this season, winning 60-53 on Tuesday, and have won 36 consecutive games against their in-state rivals overall.
"I just wanted it so badly," Kingma said of her mindset with every free throw. "I feel the pressure (of this rivalry) every game. This is one of the best feelings to walk out of here with a win."
WSU freshman forward Mariah Cooks walked the Beasley Coliseum corridor with puffy eyes from crying. For the native Californian and her Cougar teammates, the game was just another matchup they needed to win.
Washington (12-5, 4-2) appeared to have a weakness, too. Sophomore point guard Jazmine Davis, the team's leading scorer (20.6), was knocked in the head by an elbow on a drive to the hoop with 10:49 remaining in the second half and WSU (5-12, 1-5) leading 57-53.
Washington coach Kevin McGuff substituted freshman guard Heather Corral for Davis as precaution for a possible concussion. With the floor leader seated at the end of the bench, Kingma stepped in.
"Being on the road and down with 10 minutes to go, I needed to be a voice that said, 'We can still do this,' " she said of her huddle with teammates.
Corral's first two shots were three-pointers from in front of the Huskies bench to help build a 64-61 lead with 6:23 remaining. It just wasn't enough to rattle Cooks.
She teamed with sophomore guard Tia Presley in the second half to cut WSU's deficit to 74-70 with 1:53 remaining. Cooks, Presley and freshman Lia Galdeira combined to miss five consecutive shots, nullifying the work on defense to keep UW from scoring.
WSU coach June Daugherty started to foul to gain possession of the ball. But Kingma kept making the shots.
The Cougars' final attempt was down 77-72 with Galdeira at the free-throw line. She was fouled on a three-point shot and missed all three free throws to end WSU's chances at snapping the streak.
Presley had a team-high 15 points and four steals while Cooks and Galdeira combined for 26 points and 11 rebounds. Davis led the Huskies with 18 points and sophomore Aminah Williams had 17 points and 11 rebounds.
"For whatever reason, this rivalry, the intensity, every game it escalates," said Kingma, who finished her final conference game against WSU with 16 points, six rebounds and four assists. "WSU's going to be good for years to come and June is a good coach. At least from my side, we're (fellow senior Jeneva Anderson) getting out of here without a loss."

Percentages: FG .467, FT .611. Three-point goals: 12-27 (Walton 2-5, Wetmore 0-1, Kingma 3-8, Davis 4-9, Corral 3-4). Team rebounds: 7. Blocked shots: 2 (Walton, Wetmore).

‘± maismenos ±’ was born in 2005 as a personal spin-off of an academic research project.
By the use of viral mechanisms and multiple media it quickly became a reference of creative intervention in Portuguese urban circles.
Miguel Januário, the visual artist behind ‘± maismenos ±’, used the apartment to showcase different aspects of his recent work. There are pieces from the hand cut Bills series, foams, prints and a remarkable collage. Iconic pieces such as the ±can± and the ±pay nothing± shopping basket can also be seen.
The artist purpose was to occupy the space with words and manipulated quotes in a way to induce moments of reflection. You can be in a beautiful space, away from home and your daily routine, and still be challenged by the irony of sharp word games.
± is the visual representation of the collapse of the economic systems (+ – = 0), clearly conveying a standpoint in regards to it – while also acting as a blank canvas, a particularly open-ended icon where the citizen may be able to project anything they wish, fear or suspect.
Initially, ± presented itself as a brand against brands, its utopian mission being the antidote to advertising: ± may be found as illegal marks over a wide variety of urban environments, just as it may surface as an art installation.
Today ‘± maismenos ±’ is also an international reference, having participated in numerous exhibitions, conferences and festivals around the world.

CORRELATION OF PROLONGED QTC DISPERSION WITH THE SEVERITY OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE DETECTED BY SYNTAX SCORE IN PATIENTS WITH NON-ST SEGMENT ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Tapan Chandra Shil*, Amal Kumar Choudury, Md. Mozammel Haque, Humayan Kabir, Pijous Biswas, Jamil Taufiq Imam, Abdul Hamid, Debabrata Halder, Abdullah -Al- Mamun and Bishojit Mondal
Determination of the QT interval dispersion by means of a standard ECGat rest has been widely used for cardiovascular risk assessment during the last 15 years as one of the recent explanations for the development of life threatening ventricular arrhythmias. However, littleis known about the relation between QT dispersion and the severity of coronary artery atherosclerosis as defined by SYNTAX score. The present study was done to assess the correlation between QTc dispersion and these verities of coronary artery disease in acute Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction detected by SYNTAX score. This cross sectional observational study conducted in the NICVD, Dhaka It included 100 patients of Non-STEMI underwent coronary angiography in NICVD. QT dispersion was calculated as the difference between the longest(QT max) and the shortest QT (QTmin) interval recorded by standard 12 lead ECG. The QT interval was corrected by using Bazett’s formula (QTc = QT/square root of R-R interval in seconds).Corrected QT dispersion (QTcd) was defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum QTc for a given heart rate. Normal QTcd was 45+_15 ms(chugh,2014),and prolong QTcd was 60ms. The SYNTAX score is calculated by syntax calculator, a new tool to grade the complexity of coronary artery disease.100 participating patients, there were divided into two groups. In Group 1 mean age 48.9 ± 5.8 years and in group-ll mean age was 47.6 ± 8.5years.The mean QTc dispersion was 45 ± 15 ms, while mean SYNTAX score was 19.3 ± 9.3. in group-1 and 11.9 ± 8.6 years There is a strong positive correlation between QTc dispersion and SYNTAX score.QTc dispersion has emerged as a noninvasive measurement for quantifying the degree of myocardial repolarization inhomogeneity. QTc dispersion>60 ms had independent predictive value for the severity of coronary artery disease. The greater the QTc dispersion the higher the number of coronary artery involvement. We observed that there is a positive correlation between prolonged QT dispersion and coronary artery disease severity in terms of syntax score.
Keywords: QTc dispersion; SYNTAX score; Non-STEMI.

Fresh off his most recent Emmy win, “Game of Thrones” star Peter Dinklage returns to HBO next month in “My Dinner With Hervé.” About the final days of Hervé Villechaize, a pioneering actor known for “Fantasy Island” and “The Man With the Golden Gun,” the film co-stars Jamie Dornan as the journalist sent to interview him about his status as “the most famous dwarf in the world.” Watch the trailer below.
“An unlikely friendship evolves over one wild night in LA between a struggling journalist (Jamie Dornan) and actor Hervé Villechaize (Peter Dinklage), resulting in life-changing consequences for both.” The film has received backlash for supposedly whitewashing Villechaize’s story due to the fact that many believe he was half-Filipino, a claim Dinklage addressed in a recent interview.

This beauty with the black blotches and iridescent blue spots is a Giant Leopard Moth, also referred to as Eyed Tiger Moth. I found him outside the Publix grocery near the Thousand Trails Orlando Nature Preserve Campground and RV Resort. I captured him and took him back to our vacation cabin so I could take these photos.
Photo of the Week series: Every Sunday in 2012 I will either share a photo from my archives or something new I just can’t wait to get feedback on for future art shows/exhibits.
Blogger participation: My hope is to receive enough input on each week’s photo to later post a Bloggers’ Choice of the Month and wrap up 2012 with a Bloggers’ Choice of the Year.

Thanks, Bonnie. I only wish it had spread it wings so I could have captured its very colorful body, or whatever you call it. 🙂

Rostelecom May Lose Control of Mobile Business Upon Tele2 MergerIlya Khrennikov and Ilya Arkhipov
OAO Rostelecom, Russia’s state-run telecommunications operator, may cede control of its mobile business after a tie-up with VTB Group’s Tele2 Russia Holding AB, according to the bank’s chairman.
“As far as I remember, Tele2 Russia assets are valued higher” than Rostelecom’s mobile assets, VTB Chairman Andrey Kostin said in an interview in Bali. “I can’t tell whether Rostelecom will get 40 percent or 49 percent,” he said, adding that an independent appraisal is needed.
VTB, which acquired Tele2 Russia in April for $2.4 billion, is weighing a joint venture with Rostelecom’s mobile assets to form a nationwide operator, Vedomosti reported earlier this month. Tele2 Russia may consider “M&A activities” by the end of this year, VTB Deputy Chairman Yuri Soloviev said last week, without elaborating.
While Tele2 Russia has 23 million users in Russia versus Rostelecom’s almost 14 million, the state-run company holds wireless licenses for Moscow, the most lucrative region, and a nationwide permit for faster mobile networks. VTB valued Tele2 Russia at 126 billion rubles ($3.9 billion) in its first-half financial report.
A merger between Tele2 Russia and Rostelecom’s wireless unit may form the fourth-largest countrywide mobile operator in Russia, challenging billionaire Alisher Usmanov’s OAO MegaFon, billionaire Vladimir Evtushenkov’s OAO Mobile TeleSystems and billionaire Mikhail Fridman’s VimpelCom Ltd.
“The mobile business requires very high capital spending,” Alexander Vengranovich, an analyst at Otkritie Capital, said by phone. “That’s why Rostelecom is relying on partners to develop it and focuses on fixed-line broadband instead.”
Rostelecom picked a new strategy to focus on fixed-line broadband and may rely on partners to help develop its mobile business, Kira Kiryukhina, a spokeswoman, said by phone yesterday, declining to elaborate further before the plan is approved by Dec. 4.

Pidhirtsi Castle is located 23 kilometers from Brody in the village. Pidhirtsi, Brody district, Lviv region. Architectural monument of the late Renaissance and Baroque. It is one of the best examples in Europe of combining a Renaissance palace with bastion fortifications.
The castle belonged to the noble Polish families of Koniecpl, Sobieski, Zhevuski and Sangushki. It was designed by architects Guillaume Levasser de Beauplan and Andrea del Aqua on the instructions of Crown Hetman Stanislaw Koniecpolski.
The interiors of Pidhirtsi Castle impressed contemporaries with their beauty and splendor. Themed halls were named Chinese, Gold, Knight, Green, Mirror and Mosaic. Things belonging to King Jan III Sobieski were kept separately. The rooms were decorated with portraits of the owners of the castle, copies of Raphael, Rubens, Titian, Caravaggio. The dining room was decorated with a portrait of Hetman Koniecpolski on the ceiling and 72 portraits of prominent political and spiritual figures, a black marble table on which King John III was baptized.
In 1940, after the advent of Soviet power, the castle was transferred to the Lviv Historical Museum. During the Soviet-German war, the palace was badly damaged. In 1947 the museum was closed, and in 1949 a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients was built in it.
In 1997, a turning point in the history of the castle took place – thanks to the requests of the public and the work of Borys Voznytsky, it was transferred to the Lviv Art Gallery. In 2008, the castle in Pidhirtsi was included in the list of World Monuments Watch as one of the hundreds of monuments of the world, which is of exceptional value and is in danger of destruction.
Today the castle palace is open to visitors, entrance is paid.

Premier Brad Wall says there are no plans to change rules governing out-of-province donations to political parties in Saskatchewan, despite mounting criticism and overwhelming opposition among the province’s residents.
Sixty-nine per cent of respondents to a recent Mainstreet Research poll said they oppose the practice — which provided Wall’s Saskatchewan Party with about $3 million since 2006 — while just 11 per cent said they support it.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
“Our experience is that about 10 per cent of our corporate donations come from companies that have headquarters in other Canadian provinces, but they’re invested here,” Wall told reporters this week in Regina.
Corporate donation records published this week by Progress Alberta show the Sask Party received about $2 million from Alberta companies, including Crescent Point Energy Corp., Cenovus Energy Inc. and EnCana Corp., since 2006.
Wall said companies like Calgary-based Crescent Point have significant operations and employ thousands of people in Saskatchewan, and “have a lot of that stake in terms of who the government is.”

Eastenders star and Love Island contestant will be talking 'climate change and stuff people are talking about in the media'
Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer, who won 'Love Island' as a couple last summer, first split in December but rekindled their romance just a few days later.
Love Island winner Jack Fincham has admitted to embarking on a cocaine binge last weekend, and is now terrified of what his girlfriend's dad, EastEnders star Danny Dyer, will say.
Love Island fans crushed as Danny Dyer is spotted in Florida. Could Dani's mum Christine be heading for the villa instead?
From the darkest fake tans to the pearliest whites and the endless clip-in hair extensions, Love Island is so far proving an addictive and intriguing behind-the-scenes into high-maintenance beauty. Post-shower, she picked up what looked like a tiny pink wand to straighten out her false eyelashes whilst, wait for it, blasting them with a hairdryer.
Now Danny’s fiancee, Jo Mas, has taken to social media to slam Mark’s wife Michelle Keegan, with Jo pointing out that the scandal occurred remarkably close to the launch date of Michelle’s new TV show ‘Our Girl’. Writing on Twitter, Michelle shared: “It’s OFFICIAL- 7th September, BBC1 #ourgirl #GeorgieLane [sic]”, which Jo retweeted and added: “It’s official. Jo was referring to the allegations that one of Mark’s friends “squared up” to her 20-year-old daughter Dani when she and Danny were attacked by a mob of five of the TOWIE star’s pals at V festival over the weekend.
Over the weekend many of us were left slightly baffled when it was claimed that TOWIE’s Mark Wright had five of his mates beat up EastEnders’ actor Danny Dyer at V Festival in Hylands Park. Mark has since confirmed that he wasn’t involved in the physical confrontation, with Danny tweeting that the Essex lad’s pals had kicked him in the head and “squared up” to his 20-year-old daughter Dani, who he was at the festival with. With the majority of the internet being firmly in Danny’s corner, most are unsure about what even sparked the bitter fight, which came just days after Mark’s brother Joshua took to Twitter to slam the cockney favourite.

So I was debating with myself whether I should write a review and/or recommendation of a series that I haven’t even gotten halfway through yet, but some books are just so good I have to say something, and it’s not my fault if everyone from Barnes and Noble to the local library is telling me I’ll have to wait a week until I can get the next volume in this adventure. What this series needs is some exposure, so people will start stocking this series on their shelves more, and I don’t have to put up with this waiting a week for a book business like it’s the 1800s or whatever. Maybe if a pony express pony delivered the book to me in its little pony mailbag, I’d be okay with it, maybe, but other than that I need instant 21st century gratification
In this particular case, I’m talking about graphic novel series The Wicked and the Divine, written by Kieron Gillen and art by Jamie McKelvie. I can’t recall for the life of me who recommended this series to me, because I’m sure I heard the name somewhere before deciding to pick up the first book when I saw it laying on the library shelf and anything sounded better than actually studying for finals, but I can’t recall. Sometimes finals season leads to large chunks of memory being pushed out of my head to make room for “This will be on the test” stuff, but I digress, I think. What were we talking about?
Ah yes, The Wicked and the Divine. It was an excellent breath of fresh air for me during a stressful time, academically speaking. The whole concept was incredibly imaginative in and of itself, and the way it was executed, as far as I read anyway, was perfect.
The setup for this states that every 90 years or so, a different group of gods possess the bodies of young adults and/or teenagers. The deal is that they only have two years on Earth before they and their host bodies die. They use what time they have on earth to cultivate celebrity and create crazy mystique and stories surrounding themselves so that these gods will be remembered. The roster of gods in this series include Amaterasu, Baal, Lucifer (aka Satan, aka Luci) Odin, the Morrigan, Sekhmet, and even more obscure figures from long gone pantheons. I linked to most of those guy’s Wikipedia pages because that’s where I found myself going more than a few times while reading this book.
Don’t let the light research work deceive you though, this book feels far more like an exercise in enlightenment than a bunch of mythology references going over your head. There’s a rich exploration of character, especially the sort of character that divine, all-powerful beings develop and express in a modern world, and the only true modern divinities people seem willing to worship anymore; celebrities. Then of course, there’s the murder mysteries and the god groupies, etc. I’m not sure I want to spoil this blast of a read for you guys.
Instead, let me talk about books this reminds me of, so you can get a better idea if this free sample wasn’t enough of a taste for you. Frankly, it reminds me of some of my favorite graphic novel series, so that might be why I took such a shining to it. Mainly, I see elements of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series in the appearance of gods in modern ages and Bill Willingham’s Fables series and it’s various offshoots in the way these godly figures must blend in with modern urban life. If those series were your jam, as they were mine, then the Wicked and the Divine is nothing but good news for you.
I’m hoping to be receiving some good news about the next book in this series coming in for me very soon, oh and maybe something about passing my finals and graduating too, but more importantly getting the next volume in this series. Hmm, it took me a while to write this. Is it in yet? I better go check again!
It wasn’t. Drat. Okay then, time to study. Again. Til next time folks!

The best sugar babies Milwaukee WI arranged element of Aquinas political theory was their account out-of laws. You to definitely levels fundamental has may be summarized inside the five propositions on the brand new central case and you may focal concept of law. It’s an issue of practical direction treated on the cleverness and you can need ones which it delivers. It’s towards the preferred a good of a governmental people. It’s generated (positum, put in place) by the ruler(s) guilty of the city concerned. It ought to be coercive.
Aquinas well-identified dialogue out-of laws in ST We-II qq. 9097 (a discussion that truly offers from the smaller learned qq. 98105) might have been justly respected by jurists or other thinkers perhaps not if not much seeking his performs. However it is shaped by his matter truth be told there (i) to present getting college student youngsters off theology an introduction to the market and of the big sweep out-of creatures from their divine author and you may to the same transcendent becoming since their best destiny, and you can (ii) so you’re able to synthesize the standard language and you may antique theological provide on the rules. Thus stature could there be given to the newest “endless laws” for which Jesus governs also inanimate creatures (while the from the rules out-of physics, etcetera.), in order to the brand new “participation” out of natural moral legislation for the reason that eternal laws. But once he or she is without such textbookish restrictions the guy stresses one laws very important feature is an activity that’s not real of your own rules off characteristics (physics, biology, an such like.), particularly that it’s an appeal to the mind, possibilities, ethical energy (virtus) and you can love of those individuals subject to what the law states: ScG III cc. 114117; this is unofficially indicated along with in the ST I-II q. 91 a beneficial. dos offer step three.
Rules (in central instance and you can focal definition) try ergo constantly plans to possess co-ordination owing to 100 % free collaboration. The dwelling off things becoming the goals, the rules away from standard reason and you will morality (sheer moral legislation and you can absolute right) are know, acknowledged, and you will stayed by, just like the totally directive from inside the conscience, without the need to be regarded as (whatever they really are) an appeal out-of notice in your thoughts, a strategy easily designed to become easily used to own inbuilt peoples satisfaction. Just like the divine blogger was a student in no way limited to decide which will make that it world due to the fact distinct from every other a beneficial you can easily market, very human legislators keeps large ethical versatility to determine amongst solution you’ll be able to courtroom plans, while making you to number of terms legally and (presumptively) ethically obligatory from the natural fact from adopting they that’s, in what Aquinas phone calls legislation-companies determinatio: I-II q. 95 a beneficial. 2; q. 99 a. step three ad dos; q. 104 an effective. step one..

Regardless of if their sufferers otherwise several might have made or popular another determinatio, a separate way of searching for communal work for, the rulers intention to advertise popular a great helps and that’s supported by their state they rulership. Only when he has such as for example intent do they really instantiate the brand new main matter-of bodies.

Brand new main matter-of government ’s the code of a totally free someone, and you will legislation are centrally instantiated when its completely public reputation (promulgation: q. 90 an effective. 4), and its particular clearness (q. 95 a beneficial.3), generality (q. 96 good. 1), stability (q. 97 a good. 2), and you may practicability (q. 95 a great. 3), allow bodies (law-firms and you may laws-maintainers alike) and you will subjects to-be people in public reason (Aquinas has got the layout even in the event not the term). The advantages from legislation for this reason itemized because of the Aquinas amount to the fresh new concept of the fresh Code regarding Law, that he obviously provides a top priority along side “code of men” in his therapy of judges subordination in order to laws and of new obligations from judges to stick to rules also resistant to the facts of one’s own sight (when one to evidence isn’t lawfully admissible): II-II q. 67 an excellent. 2; q. 64 good. six post step three.

Nicolas Sarkozy was tonight resting at his country retreat after he was discharged from hospital following a collapse while jogging.
While the French president's political allies insisted that he was on the mend, political commentators questioned his hyperactive lifestyle.
The president emerged from a military hospital in Paris looking tired but smiling, waving at onlookers and shaking hands with doctors. He was accompanied by his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. He had been taken in for tests on Sunday after feeling faint at the end of a 45-minute midday run in temperatures of more than 30C (86F) in the park of the Palace of Versailles.
Although the president's entourage said he had continued to liaise with political staff from his hospital bed, a trip to Normandy's Mont-Saint-Michel today was cancelled after doctors ordered the president to take some "relative rest".
The Elysée said doctors had found no signs of heart or neurological trouble and the 54-year-old president's fainting was down to his heavy workload and over-exertion.
"The diagnosis is a faintness from a sustained physical effort in great heat," the Elysée said, adding that the president "had not lost consciousness" and the incident came "in a context of fatigue stemming from a heavy workload".
The health of France's jogging-fanatic president appeared intact but many questioned whether his action man image as "Speedy Sarko" would be damaged. He has carefully crafted a "Super Sarko" media image as a youthful, deliberately hyperactive president who refuses to delegate and likes to be seen as a workaholic and a super-fit, testosterone-fuelled runner and cyclist. He regularly goes on long runs clutching his mobile phone, inviting TV crews to follow him.
The newspaper Le Monde said it was "unlikely" that Sarkozy's self-styled image as the omnipresent "president who governs – alert and dashing, present on all fronts and exhausted by nothing" would leave hospital intact.
One political colleague told the paper how Sarkozy had been affected by the heat on a visit to the Tour de France last week: "The problem is that he does too much, he's overworked." A minister added that his health scare was "unavoidable" given his "way of life". Patrick Balkany, a centre-right mayor and family friend of the Sarkozys, said the president was on a strict diet and exercise regime and this incident was a warning to slow down.
Others in Sarkozy's ruling UMP party defended his image. Patrick Devedjian, the minister for economic recovery, told French radio: "He's hyperactive, everyone can see that … He imposes a very heavy workload on himself. He likes to say: "Sometimes people criticise me, saying I do too much, but I think I don't do enough."
Sarkozy, currently resting at La Lanterne, his weekend hunting lodge in the grounds of Versailles, is expected to chair the last cabinet meeting of the political season on Wednesday before taking three weeks' holiday at his wife's family retreat on the Côte d'Azur.
His ruling centre-right party boasted that the Elysee had been totally transparent in telling the nation about the health scare, contrary to France's tradition of shrouding leaders' health problems in secrecy.
But in reality, the Elysee had little choice: Sarkozy had been jogging past tourists in Versailles and there were numerous witnesses to his fainting episode, including one French radio journalist who said he had seen him looking tired and barely able to drag his legs along at an earlier stage in his run.

nanoPower Forum Points to Practical Energy Harvesting
The appearance of commercial energy harvesting and thin-film battery products was a consistent theme of the papers and exhibits at Darnell’s third-annual nanoPower Forum (nPF ’09). A growing variety of energy harvesting devices and thin-film batteries are now available for use in commercial applications. Among the companies highlighting products during nPF ‘09 were Adaptiv Energy, Advanced Cerametrics, Cymbet, Ferro Solutions, Infinite Power Solutions, Micropelt, Powercast, and others.
Adaptiv Energy presented the Joule-Thief™ vibration energy harvesting module. The module contains an energy harvesting beam based on AdaptivEnergy’s proprietary Ruggedized Laminated Piezo (RLP® technology, as well as proprietary energy collection and storage circuitry. The Joule-Thief module is claimed to be the highest output vibration energy harvesting device per unit weight and volume of any commercially available energy harvester. The module is designed to provide users with a choice of 3.6 Vdc or 1.8 Vdc output. Several energy storage options are available, allowing the storage capacity to be matched with the application.
Advanced Cerametrics demonstrated the Harvestor™ line of products that can provide perpetual electric power from vibration by means of a compact unit that harvests mechanical energy using piezoelectric fiber composites and proprietary power management circuits. This renewable power provides the microelectronics industry with a source of energy on the go (e.g. walking, flying, driving, riding, manufacturing, hauling, etc), and for stationary industrial and infrastructure applications where a perpetual power source is extremely valuable (e.g. wireless sensing and monitoring). The PFC (piezoelectric fiber composite) transducers are highly efficient and robust in creating electric power and actuation (compared to other piezoelectric products). Due to the high flexibility of PFCs, they are easy to design into products and systems.
New chip-scale power architectures were proposed by Cymbet in conjunction with the companyâ€™s EnerChip™ thin-film rechargeable batteries. Taking the concept of "distributed power" to its ultimate extreme, Grady proposed that energy sources be placed inside each IC on a board, providing instant power for surges of activity as well as isolation from surrounding transients and noise. Solid-state thin-film batteries such as the EnerChip can power ICs such as microcontrollers and real-time clocks via stacked dies or co-packaged in a multi-chip module format.
Just a week before nPF ’09, electronic components distributor Digi-Key Corp. and Cymbet announced that the companies have entered into a distribution agreement for the worldwide distribution of Cymbet’s EnerChip™ family of solid-state, rechargeable thin-film batteries and energy harvesting power storage modules.
For applications where battery replacement is costly, difficult or hazardous, Ferro Solutions demonstrated the VEH-360 Energy Harvester. The unit combines a compact generator that converts vibration to electricity with storage capacitors and a precision, regulated dc power supply. The VEH-360 delivers 3.3 Vdc and includes energy storage to ensure smooth power delivery even with an intermittent vibration source. It produces maximum power at 60 Hz. This vibration frequency is typically found in motors, compressors and generators in the power and process industries. VEH-360 can also be used in transportation, aerospace, and other environments to power equipment health monitoring, asset tracking, and wireless sensor systems.
Infinite Power Solutions (IPS) reported the ability to support a continuous discharge current measurement of 170mA at 25°C from a single micro-energy cell, 1 squarer-inch (25.4 x 25.4 x 0.17mm) in size. IPS also achieved a 100% depth of discharge (DoD) at 25°C for greater than 15,000 cycles at 9 C-rage with about 90% of their starting capacity maintained. As testing continues, IPS expects to achieve more than 20, Micropelt MPG-D751thermogenerator (3.5 x 4.5mm), power management circuitry, software user interface, radio and microcontroller. The device can handle multiple measurement signals + external sensor interface. It starts transmitting every second from 10°C delta T between heat source and room (3°C effective over TEG). The power capacity starts at 000 cycles with 100% DoD and 80% capacity retention and more than 100,000 recharge cycles with shallow cycling to 50% DoD.
Micropelt reported on the availability and performance of the TE-PowerTM RING, a thermally powered, embedded bearing monitor. The 25 x 60 x 30mm device includes a 1mW harvested. Next-generation devices will be chip-scale and designed for co-packaging with other circuit elements.
The Powercast P2100 (915MHz) RF power harvester measures 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.159" and produces up to 50mA of output. The P2100 is offered as standalone product or integrated with a supercapacitor from Cap-XX. When integrated, the P2100 charges the supercapacitor to about 1.2V. Supercapacitor cell voltage is limited by the voltage stability of the electrolyte; a low supply voltage allows the use of a single cell supercapacitor. This avoids the need for balancing between cells, no balancing circuitry, no current drawn by balancing circuit, reduced rate of supercapacitor ageing at lower voltage, and reduced leakage current at lower voltage.
