China, Dalai Lama's envoy to hold dialogue
An envoy of Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, will hold fence-mending talks in Beijing, a Tibetan source said on Wednesday, even as China puts the squeeze on his overseas trips.
China and the Dalai Lama's envoys have been engaged in painfully slow conciliatory talks since 2002, which analysts say is partly driven by the fear that if the winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize dies in exile, it could lead to trouble in the Himalayan region.
Lodi Gyari, the Dalai Lama's top envoy to Washington, is expected to hold closed-door talks in Beijing with top officials of the Communist Party's United Front Work Department, the source said, requesting anonymity. The department is responsible for dealing with religious leaders and winning over non-Communists.
"We're going to send a delegation to Beijing soon," the source with close ties to the leadership of the Tibetan government-in-exile told Reuters.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman's office, reached by telephone, declined to comment.
The Dalai Lama, who fled to India in 1959 after a failed uprising against Communist rule, says he wants greater autonomy, not independence, for his predominantly Buddhist homeland, but China considers him a separatist.
Five rounds of dialogue have been shrouded in secrecy and yielded no breakthrough.
The Dalai Lama was issued a visa to visit Brussels on May 11-12 to meet members of the European Parliament and attend a conference of non-government organisations supporting Tibet.
But he was forced to cancel after the Belgian government informed him of Chinese displeasure with his visit.
Belgium's Prince Filip is due to visit China next month. In 2005, the Dalai Lama was also forced to scrap a visit to Brussels ahead of Belgian King Albert II's visit to China.
"The Dalai Lama gave in to Belgian requests ... to create a conducive atmosphere for an ongoing constructive dialogue," the source said. "This is the main reason why he decided not to go and not to create embarrassment for all parties concerned."
Australia's government and pro-China opposition leader were accused on Wednesday by rights groups and political rivals of caving to pressure from Beijing by refusing to meet the Dalai Lama, who is to tour Australia for 10 days next month, speaking to the national press club and addressing stadium rallies.
After China's Canberra Embassy warned it would be inappropriate for political leaders to meet the exiled leader, the Upper House Senate refused an Australian Greens party request for an official reception at Parliament House.
Resurgent opposition leader Kevin Rudd, a fluent Mandarin speaker who served as a diplomat in Beijing, drew particular criticism for reversing earlier support for the Dalai Lama.
Rudd five years ago met the exiled spiritual leader in Australia and criticised Prime Minister John Howard and Foreign Minister Alexander Downer as "weak" for refusing to do likewise.
The Tibetan government-in-exile condemned China's arm-twisting tactics.
"The Chinese government's persistent attempts to exert pressure on small nations to restrict the movement of His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a case of outright bullying," Kalon Tempa Tsering, spokesman for the Tibetan government-in-exile, said in a statement.
It was also "gross interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state, setting an unfortunate trend in international diplomacy and undermines the efforts that have been made to create a conducive atmosphere for a just and speedy resolution of the issue of Tibet", the spokesman added.

You can get stunning views of Paris from many places, and you don’t have to pay for all of them.
Many dream of traveling to Paris and staying somewhere with views of the Eiffel Tower. If you have a budget to splurge for a room with a view, you should definitely go for it. But if you aren’t loaded with cash and need to watch the pennies, you will be relieved to know that there are many places in town where you can catch incredible Paris views.
There is no doubt that Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Wherever you are in town, you are bound to be enchanted by what you see. It is the kind of city where you just turn around a corner and suddenly find yourself in front of the most astonishing views. And whether you are into photography or just want to enjoy the pleasure of recording an image in your mind, you won’t be disappointed.
So, make sure to always carry a camera or a smartphone with you to take at least a snap of the best Paris views.
In this post, I will show you all the best places to get beautiful views of Paris. If they are attractions you have to pay for, I will point out the opening time and entry fees (if there are any) and share some other useful tips for the best photos.
10 Places To Get Breathtaking Views Of Paris
Think about the best views of Paris and chances are that the first thing that comes to mind is the Eiffel Tower. Paris’ most iconic attraction is not only a fantastic sight in and of itself, but also a great vantage point to take in all the views of the city. I don’t think I need to convince you to get on the Eiffel Tower – I am sure this will likely be the first place you visit in town.
Now, the big question is: should you make the effort (and pay) to get all the way to the summit? Some will tell you that you can get incredible views from level one. Others will try to convince you that the best views of Paris are from level two. I actually believe that the views of Paris you get from the summit of the Eiffel Tower are by far the best.
Another question is whether you should go up for sunset or at night, or simply during the day. That is completely up to you. Surely, if you want to get views of Paris at night, going after dark is a great idea. Whether you go for sunset or not is a matter of weather too. I was perfectly happy with the morning views I got!
PRACTICAL INFORMATION: The Eiffel Tower is open daily from 9:00 or 9:30 am. Closing time is 6:30 pm for stair users and 00:45 am for elevator users.
To avoid the massive lines at the Eiffel Tower, make sure to get tickets in advance. These are the best options:
- Eiffel Tower second floor priority access
- Eiffel Tower skip the line ticket with summit access
- Eiffel Tower summit guided visit
- Eiffel Tower guided tour
Champ de Mars
Right behind the Eiffel Tower, you can freely access the Champ de Mars, a park which was opened in 1780 next to the École Militaire. It’s a great place to get views of the Eiffel Tower, to hang out, to spend an afternoon with family and friends. And it’s 100% free to visit.
Across the Seine river from the Eiffel Tower you will get to the Trocadéro. This is one of the undisputed best places for Paris views – especially if you are keen on taking photos of the Eiffel Tower.
The Trocadéro can be accessed freely throughout the day. You may find that it is rather crowded – there were a lot of people when I went, at around 12:30 pm. If you want to have the place to yourself, and an incredible light to capture the Eiffel Tower, make sure to go at sunrise.
Arc de Triomphe
The views of Paris from the Arc the Triomphe are simply stunning. You get to see the Eiffel Tower, the Champs-Elysees all the way to the Louvre and La Defense, Paris’ modern district packed with skyscrapers.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION: The Arc de Triomphe is open every day from 10:00 am to 10:30 or 11:00 pm, depending on the season. It is closed on 1 January, 1 May, 8 May (morning), 14 July, 11 November (morning) and 25 December. Get tickets in advance here or here.
Easily the ugliest building in Paris, the good thing about getting on Montparnasse Tower is that once you are in, you don’t get to see it! There are two levels you can visit: floor 56, which is basically all enclosed with glass windows, and the Terrance, which is also closed but there are a few openings so you can dodge your camera for views. There also are telescopes to get closer views.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION: Montparnasse Tower is open every day from 9:30 am to either 10:30 or 11:30 depending on the season.
Get your tickets in advance here.
The steps of Sacre-Coeur Basilica in Montmartre are supposed to be one of the best places to get views of Paris. Unfortunately, when I visited the weather was overcast and as there was a fair in Montmartre it was terribly crowded (even more than usual) and I couldn’t get to a decent place for photos. Even then, I was able to see the Centre Pompidou and Notre-Dame on the right. I know, my photo isn’t the best – so if you do go make sure to send me yours for comparison!
You can access those steps for free.
You will find some of the best views of Paris along the Seine River – the many bridges (especially Ponte Alexandre III), Notre-Dame Cathedral (which used to be one of the best places to get Paris views but was unfortunately hit by a fire in April 2019), the Eiffel Tower and much more can be seen walking along the banks of the river or even during a Seine river cruise.
In case you want to opt for a cruise, you can book it here.
The Pompidou Center is a National Museum of Modern Art and Europe’s largest modern art museum. Inside you will find the work of artists such as Picasso, Matisse, Kandinsky. But to make your experience even better, you can ride the elevators and get to the upper level from where you can enjoy views of the Eiffel Tower.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION: Pompidou Center is open Wednesdays to Mondays from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm. It closes at 11:00 pm on Thursdays. You can get your tickets here.
The Musee d’Orsay is one of the best museums in Paris, with a fantastic collection of impressionist art with works of the likes of Monet, Manet, Renoir and more. What many don’t know is that you can actually get incredible views of Paris from there, through the clock on the upper level.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION: Musee d’Orsay is open every day from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm. On Thursdays it closes at 9:45 pm. It is closed on Mondays. Make sure to get tickets in advance before you go. You can get them here.
Last but not least, for views of the Latin Quarter, Luxembourg Gardens, Eiffel Tower and even Notre Dame, get on the Dome of Paris’ Pantheon.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION: The Pantheon is open every day from 10:000 am to 6:00 or 6:30 pm depending on the season. You can get tickets here.

More than a quarter million Fairfax County residents either ran out of water or were getting only a dribble yesterday when the Fairfax County Water Authority was overwhelmed by a record-breaking demand.
Water authority spokesman James Warfield said the emergency should be over this morning as post-holiday demand returns to normal.
Warfield said the authority's treatment facilities were pumping yesterday at their capacity rate -- 118 million gallons daily -- but still not fast enough to reach all customers.
The areas affected were Herndon-Reston in the northern portion of the county adjoining Alexandria and parts of Springfield.
Three storage tanks south of Herndon, one near Fairfax Hospital and one at Gum Springs, fell nearly to the empty mark as demand peaked late in the day.
"The demand on any Labor Day is always high," said Warfield. "But this was just phenomenal. People just went bananas."
Officials theorized that the problem started when returning vacationers watered their parched lawns and families began getting their children ready for the start of school today.
Warfield said that tap water may have a rusty brown look when it starts flowing normally, but he said that condition would not pose a health hazard.The rusty look is caused by a sudden new surge of pressure that stirs up settled sediment at the bottom of the pipes.
The problem would not have occurred, Warfield said if the Authority's new Potomac River pumping and treatment facilities were in operation. But the facilities were in operation. But the facilities, still under construction, will not be ready for at least another year.
Three years ago the Water Authority, which serves more than 600,000 people in Fairfax and Prince William counties and Alexandria, was forced to impose water restrictions when its Occuquan Reservoir fell to a dangerously low level but the reservoir at this time is not below normal and was not linked to yesterday's problems.

Every spring and fall migration a big deal is made of using weather radars to track migrating song birds. But how much can we really read into this?
First off, the radars usually have to be in what is called ‘clear air mode’ the most sensitive of radar modes. This usually happens on clear, dry nights. The radar uses 5 different elevation scans to try and pick up the slightest precipitation. This mode however also picks up anything flying and not flying in the air, including birds, but also bats, airplanes, insects and mountains. Dust and smoke also can be picked up as well.
But how much of what we see on radar should we believe? If you look at Key West, FL there is no land elevation, thus in theory anything over 100′ is likely flying. Thus heavy radar returns on dry nights during migration are likely migrating birds. But also look at Albany, NY. The elevation of the city is only 197′ above sea level, but in the area that the radar scans land elevation goes up to nearly 5,000 feet. Thus the lower scans of the radar often pick up trees, mountains and other objects, giving false returns. The radar does pick up birds, but you won’t be able to pick them out unless they are above 5,000 feet. Anything below that is unclear. It also takes some practice and a little bit of skill to accurately read weather radars.
Radar should only be used as a guide. There are times when radar can pick up migrating birds well and this can translate to forecasting a fall out in a particular location. But they can also be misleading. So the next time you look at your local radar on a clear, dry Spring or Fall night and see heavy returns, remember to be cautious, especially if you have any elevation… But still get out at dawn, just in case.

Santiago (AFP) May 27, 2013
Authorities in Chile and Argentina on Monday issued a red alert and ordered the evacuation of 3,000 people living near the Copahue volcano near their common border, saying an eruption could be imminent.
Chile's interior minister Andres Chadwick said anyone living in a 25-kilometer (15-mile) radius of the volcano had been asked to leave -- a total of more than 2,200 people.
Another 800 people were cleared from homes on Argentina's side of the border, according to local officials.
So far, the volcano has only spewed gas, not ash. But Chadwick said seismic activity indicated that an eruption was possible, prompting authorities to move forward with an evacuation plan.
Chile also issued a red alert for the 2,965-meter (9,700 foot) Copahue last December, but an eruption did not follow.
The June 2011 eruption of Chile's Puyehue volcano periodically disrupted air travel in much of the southern cone of South America, and as far away as Australia, for months.

Drones On Demand: Additive Manufacturing and the Future Battlefield
Additive manufacturing has the potential to disrupt the defense industrial landscape and revolutionize the ways in which militaries equip and supply. Defense firms must actively prepare for growing “on demand” manufacturing expectations.
A Battery Commander looks down at his gloved hand, examining a cracked M777 tilt knob presented to him by his maintenance mechanic. He shivers as an arctic wind whips across the frozen terrain—a reminder of his unit’s remote position at a forward operating base on the Russian-Ukrainian border.
An impending snowstorm has disrupted supply lines, further isolating his gun line. With the Battery headquarters and sustainment tail several kilometers away, his firing platoon has relied solely on airlift to continue providing 24/7 counter-fire operations.
The cracked four-inch knob – a casualty of sub-zero temperatures and the unit’s relentless operational tempo – renders the howitzer non-mission capable. The Battery Commander, needing a fully-restored gun line in the event of supporting fires, assigns a senior NCO to oversee the repair.
Ducking into the makeshift tactical operations center located in an abandoned bus depot, she quickly scans existing CAD files on her ruggedized laptop to locate the component piece. She connects to the Battery’s on-site 3-D printer, and hits “print.” Within hours, a replacement composite tilt knob is installed; the howitzer is back in the fight.
Additive manufacturing, more commonly referred to as “3-D printing”, is one of several emerging technologies with the potential to revolutionize the ways in which militaries equip, supply, and support their troops. It is also likely to disrupt the defense industrial landscape, creating opportunities and challenges for traditional defense companies while giving niche providers unprecedented chances to break into the market.
Unlike conventional manufacturing techniques (e.g. precision machining, welding, carving), 3-D printing creates objects from the ground-up, applying successive layers of materials on top of one another under varying degrees of heat. 3-D printing in commercial manufacturing has taken off, especially in the aerospace, automotive, and medical sectors. It remained relatively inchoate within the defense sector, until now.
U.S. military experimentation with additive manufacturing—such as the ability to rapidly create cost-efficient prototypes, reduce the footprint of forward-deployed units, improve parts availability, and empower end-users to produce and repair a wide-range of supplies “on-demand” and in-theatre – is gaining traction at the highest levels.
Additive manufacturing is rapidly changing the military’s expectations of what the private sector can do at a critical time for the Defense Department. Each of the armed services must balance their role in ongoing low-intensity conflict campaigns with renewed preparation for regional or potentially global-scale conventional warfare with near-peer nations.
Defense companies anticipating this shift are already investing in their own 3-D printing capabilities; however, it is important that industry appreciate and consider the far-reaching implications that additive manufacturing is likely to have on the industrial base as well as within each of the services.
Current service-driven initiatives largely pertain to reducing logistics supply chains and manufacturing obsolete parts, but these will evolve as technology matures and as new requirements emerge.
However, defense firms should not wait for the development of requirements before initiating preparatory measures. In order to position for and ultimately shape future demand, defense firms must inventory their own additive manufacturing capabilities, assess those of competitors, and prepare for an era of 3-D printing disruption.
Fab Labs: A Growing Appetite for Additive
The growing number of 3-D printing initiatives across the DoD is evidence of a strong appetite for innovative manufacturing techniques to address a changing strategic environment and emergent operational concepts.
Many of the recent initiatives carried out by organizations such as the Army Research Lab, Army Aviation Research Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), Air Force Research Lab, Office of Naval Research, Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, Defense Advanced Research Projects Adency (DARPA), and a handful of others can be organized into four broad categories:
3-D Printing & Tomorrow’s Battlefield
3-D printing stands out among today’s emerging technologies for its potential defense applications. One of the greatest benefits that could substantially improve and transform the acquisition process is the shortening of time it takes to develop technology and field it.
Beyond the discreet development of 3-D printing itself, current initiatives show that the future impact on the acquisition process could be profound.
Rapidly transitioning technology demonstrator prototypes into the testing and evaluation phase could expedite interactions between end-users, the science and technology (S&T) community, and acquisition personnel.
Rapidly transitioning technology demonstrator prototypes into the testing and evaluation phase could expedite interactions between end-users, the S&T community, and acquisition personnel.
In addition to getting capabilities into the hands of warfighters earlier in the acquisition cycle, new potential uses will emerge:
Weapons & Ammunition
The ability to print consumables such as rifle rounds, magazines, and eventually caseless ammunition as well as mission-critical components for weapons platforms is likely to be highly valued in the event of supply-line disruption or unconventional warfare.
Forward-deployed units would benefit from the ability to print practical objects such as mouse traps and door hinges, but could use the same 3-D printer to manufacture locks or Concertina wire to build a greater defense-in-depth and reinforce base security.
Deployable 3-D printers could enhance a unit’s ability to perform prolonged fieldcare, especially in remote, austere environments; potential items include hemorrhage control products (e.g. tourniquets, matrix packing gauze), IV catheters, saline locks, hypodermic needles, chest seals, nasopharyngeal and endotracheal tubes, and minor surgical instruments.
A 3-D printer stationed at a forward operating base could be used to print calorie-dense nutrition bars, which could then be used to fuel expeditionary units on patrol or for Humanitarian Assistance, Disaster Response (HADR) missions.
Quality of Life
In addition to numerous practical applications, field-deployed 3-D printers could satisfy ad hoc, unforeseen hy-giene and basic “quality of life” needs such as shower nozzles, spider traps, or plastic floor mats for swampy or sandy environments to improve living circumstances and boost morale.
Beware the Hype…
The next generation of industry employers will view additive manufacturing as one tool, among many, at their disposal.
Despite the expansive set of capabilities that it may yield, additive manufacturing is by no means a “silver bullet”—it will not replace traditional manufacturing techniques overnight, nor will it obviate supply lines. As industry and government explore the many benefits of 3-D printing, it is important to examine barriers to adoption and also consider commercial sector approaches that may offer insight into these potential challenges.
Given its relatively nascent technological state, additive manufacturing has largely been successful within the defense industry printing “one-off” objects as opposed to high-volume production. Although there are certain benefits that can be realized without achieving scale – for example, 3-D printing molds can be used for injection molding – reliable high-volume production would be necessary to print consumables such as bullets or nutrition bars. Researchers at Columbia University are experimenting with printing food, while NASA is considering using printed food for missions to Mars.
Intellectual Property Rights
One of the main concerns surrounding the proliferation of 3-D printing within the defense sector is the loss of intellectual property. Aside from the security concerns, this is a financial matter too. Defense companies especially invest heavily in R&D and absorb non-recurring engineering expenses to develop cutting-edge solutions; therefore, the potential commoditization of hard-won intellectual property could deter some defense firms. More far reaching, it may require evolving industry business models and government contracting practices. 3-D printing research centers are currently developing processors that allow users to print objects without having access to raw files, thereby protecting intellectual property from theft or corruption.
In order to integrate 3-D-printed parts on airborne platforms, a substantial amount of testing will be required to determine the effects of extreme temperatures, speeds, and altitudes. While smaller, non flight-critical components such as tubing, paneling materials, and titanium parts have already been incorporated into aircraft and aircraft engines, manufacturing larger structures such as wings, rotor blades, or pylons still requires sufficient testing. Some 3-D printed titanium parts have been approved by the FAA and are being integrated as structural components in new commercial airliners to bring down raw material and labor costs.
Quality Assurance & Repeatability
The need for production accuracy, uniform standards, and high-fidelity repeatability of parts are additional barriers to widespread, immediate adoption. This is especially challenging given the defense sector’s varied standards and the speed with which some products will need to be fielded. Given the low risk tolerance for equipment failure, the need for interoperability with allied forces, and the expectation that mission-critical equipment function in a wide variety of climates and geographies, institutional approaches to testing will need to change. To improve quality assurance, organizations such Sigma Labs – a spin-out of Los Alamos National Laboratory – have started to develop quality control hardware and software for powder bed metal 3-D printing processes.
Cost of Materials
While one of the advertised benefits of additive manufacturing is reduced costs (e.g. transportation and storage, labor, prototyping), the price of raw materials for 3-D printing is still relatively high. For companies seeking to manufacture larger parts such as vehicle doors or fuselage sections, the high cost of materials may diminish the efficiencies of using additive manufacturing. Commercial firms such as 3-DEO are developing new additive manufacturing techniques such as Intelligent Layering that aims to reduce the cost of metal 3-D printing.
3-D printing has been in development for 20+ years; however, the relative youth of additive manufacturing within the defense industry will likely give rise to naysayers. At the same time, however, the next-generation of industry employers will view additive manufacturing as one tool, among many, at their disposal. This will require reconciling tensions between those concerned that widespread 3-D printing adoption will cost traditional manufacturing jobs. Additionally, in order to quell concerns about performance, defense companies seeking to increase their use of additive manufacturing should be prepared to offer demonstrations as a means of building fidelity in the technical approach.
…But Be Prepared
Interest in 3-D printing will only grow, and the recent release of a DoD Additive Manufacturing Roadmap  serves as a harbinger of developments to come. The rise of additive manufacturing within the defense sector will have four important implications for defense firms:
Influx of non-OEM and Commercial Players:
Rapid growth of the commercial 3-D printing industry has created a competitive ecosystem of firms, several of which may choose to pivot into the defense market due to DoD demand or by taking new avenues open to non-traditional defense suppliers.
Traditional defense providers should prepare for the diversification of the supply base and the entry of non-traditional players such as commercial firms or niche, non-OEM suppliers. Defense companies can proactively form strategic partnerships with leading additive manufacturing firms or use existing venture capital arms to acquire smaller firms to bolster internal capabilities.
Gradual Shift in IP Ownership Paradigm:
The model governing the ownership and distribution of intellectual property is likely to change, either through deliberate evolution of legal and contractual norms or due to piracy and copying. Several DoD agencies have already demonstrated heightened expectations for the sharing of IP in order to perform maintenance activities and install system upgrades independent of OEMs.
Defense firms seeking to protect their IP investment while simultaneously meeting new DoD demands can position themselves as innovators within this space and propose forward-looking solutions amenable to both industry as well as government.
Military Parts Certification:
The DoD’s process for certifying parts and approving components for in-flight use will have to evolve as additive manufacturing becomes more mainstream within the defense industry. This will require process optimization within the DoD, but is also dependent upon technological advancements in the accuracy and repeatability of 3-D printed components.
Existing collaboration between military and civil agencies to address the challenges in 3-D parts qualification and certification processes  suggests that future changes to existing certification regulations may be inspired by the collective experience of numerous agencies – both civil and military – as opposed to a single authority.
DoD S&T entities, including the Army Research Lab, Office of Naval Research, DARPA, and the Air Force Research Lab, have made substantial strides in additive manufacturing research and development. The development of robust 3-D printing capabilities within DoD labs and S&T organizations may drive the armed services to in-source to curb costs, thereby turning the DoD customer into a competitor.
While there is already some evidence of this trend , industry can reinforce its relationships with DoD entities by engaging more closely with the S&T community through partnerships or cooperative R&D agreements (CRADA).
Additionally, defense companies can evaluate pre-existing capabilities across the DoD and conduct a gap analysis which can then be used to inform investment decisions, thereby creating natural partnership opportunities.
Towards a New Manufacturing Model
Additive manufacturing has gained momentum within the past 20 years as technology – mostly led by the commercial sector – has improved and advocates within the DoD have emerged. The appetite for “on demand” production capabilities will grow within the DoD as operational concepts increasingly emphasize mobility and maneuverability, maintaining a light footprint, and ensuring rapid response capabilities.
Near-term demand for 3-D printed parts and components is likely to focus on rapid prototyping and repairing or replacing obsolete parts; however, the maturation of additive manufacturing technologies will spur a re-imagination of the realm of the possible. Future applications are likely to encompass operational necessities, such as ammunition and food, as well as creature comforts that enhance the quality of deployments.
However, additive manufacturing will not be adopted overnight, nor will it supplant traditional manufacturing. Challenges, such as the security and ownership of intellectual property, will at first inhibit immediate and widespread adoption by the DoD before mitigation strategies are formalized and disseminated—likely by commercial industry, which has already made strides in improving print quality, lowering raw material costs, and developing IP protection measures.
The evolution of manufacturing methods within the defense sector and changing DoD expectations will have significant implications for defense firms. Growing interest in 3-D printing to shorten the acquisition cycle and field capabilities is likely to incentivize new firms to enter the DoD marketplace, resulting in a more contested ecosystem of providers.
Additionally, traditional intellectual property regimes will be forced to change to accommodate printing at the point of need. Yet, the relative youth of DoD 3-D printing initiatives highlights the substantial opportunities for defense companies to get ahead of the additive manufacturing trend and ultimately shape its development.
Taking proactive steps, such as partnering with S&T entities to build relationships, forming strategic alliances with commercial firms, and investing in thought leadership are ways in which defense firms can position for future growth in a rapidly changing operational environment.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A child from the Upper Peninsula has died due to influenza-related symptoms.
It was the first pediatric death caused by the flu this season in Michigan. There have been over 50 influenza-associated pediatric deaths nationally.
The flue season has been particularly bad in the U.S., causing shortages of medical supplies like IV bags and flu medicine.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is reminding people it’s not too late to get vaccinated to fight the spread of the disease.
A health department release said the vaccine is especially important for children, adults over 65, people with underlying medical conditions and pregnant women.

O'Toole was blunt about his frustrations with the awards process. "No, it’s not," he told The New York Times in 2011 when asked whether simply being nominated was enough of an honor. "It’s a bore. I'm fed up. Second prize is no prize, thank you very much indeed."
The actor did earn an honorary Oscar in 2003, but O'Toole wasn't backing down. "Yeah. Honorary. Yeah. I don’t want to be honorary anything. I don’t mind earning something," he told the Times. "Come on, it’s a joke. It’s the biggest joke. Eight times? It’s impossible."

I want solo hostel guest to show their intension to socialize or not, so other guest feel encouraged to act accordingly, without anyone feeling ashamed or rude.
Diving with friends while….
….focussing on the road or
….singing along with the radio.
During my research in hostels I realized that where and how people sit shows if someone is open to socializing or not. Via rapid prototyping I found principles for this. I used two of these principles for my product. The first is that people perceive ‘social centre’ where they think socializing will happen.
If they wanted to socialize they subconsciously faced this centre, if they did not want to socialize they subconsciously faced away. The other principle was that people tried to make eye contact before they approached someone. The design is a chair that takes away the affordance for eye-contact when the user turns away from the social-centre.

Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) is an autosomal recessive disease severely affecting liver and kidney and is caused by a deficiency in fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH). Administration of 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoro-methylbenzyol)-1,3 cyclohexanedione (NTBC) improves the HT1 phenotype but some patients do not respond to NTBC therapy. The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether administration of dichloroacetate, an inhibitor of maleyl acetoacetate isomerase (MAAI) to FAH-knockout mice could prevent acute pathological injury caused by NTBC withdrawal. DCA (0.5 and 5 g/L) was given in combination with a standard diet or with a tyrosine-restricted diet. With the low-tyrosine diet body weight loss and most of hepatic and renal injuries were prevented regardless the DCA dose. The administration of DCA with a standard diet did not prevent damage nor the oxidative stress response nor the AFP induction seen in FAH-knockout mice. DCA was shown to inhibit hepatic MAAI activity to 86% (0.5 g/L) and 94% (5 g/L) of untreated wild-type mice. Interestingly, FAH-/- mice deprived of NTBC (NTBC-OFF) and NTBC-treated FAH-knockout mice had similar low hepatic MAAI activity levels, corresponding to 10-20% of control. Thus the failure of DCA treatment in FAH-/- mice seems to be attributed to the residual MAAI activity, high enough to lead to FAA accumulation and HT1 phenotype.

Weeks into office, Joe Biden is already taking a back seat. His V.P Kamala Harris has reportedly been leading the charge, taking calls with foreign leaders as Joe Biden hangs back.
On Monday, Harris held her second call with a foreign world leader when she spoke to French President Emmanuel Macron, The New York Post reported Tuesday.
Earlier this month, the Veep had a telephone call with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and spoke to the World Health Organization Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in January.
Harris’ predecessor Vice President Mike Pence occasionally took calls with foreign leaders, but only under the supervision of President Trump. As with many presidents, Trump assumed most of the responsibility juggling relationships with foreign leaders.
Most recently Kamala Harris spoke with French president Emmanuel Macron. Her office released a statement on the call: “they agreed to work closely to address COVID-19, climate change, and democracy at home and across the globe.”
The French leader quickly took to his Twitter to announce the call with V.P Harris.
Glad we had this first talk @VP Kamala Harris! Let’s move forward together on all the challenges we face: climate, gender equality, regional crises, and our space cooperation with (hopefully) a new step this Thursday with Perseverance’s landing on Mars! https://t.co/5Qb1T8Pkqp
— Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) February 15, 2021
Canada’s Prime Minister Trudeau was next on the Veep’s call list. According to a readout from the White House, Kamala Harris offered assurances that the Biden Administration would ‘do everything it can’ to demand China release two Canadian citizens currently in detainment.
It is still unclear who Kamala Harris is slated to speak to next. As Joe Biden ages and continues to show signs of mental decline, it’s assumed Kamala will take a more direct role. However, Biden voters and conservatives alike, never imagined Kamala would be assuming presidential duties this early in the game.


UPDATE: A 20-year-old professional dirt bike rider remained in critical condition Monday at Hackensack University Medical Center following a weekend crash during a race at the Meadowlands.
Oliver Brindley, of Doncaster, England, was injured during a multi-bike crash just after 6 p.m. Saturday at the American Flat Track "Meadowlands Mile" race, New Jersey State Police confirmed.
Responders said he was unresponsive when placed into an ambulance.
The trouble began when rider Dallas Daniels hit two quick bumps approaching a turn and went down early in the race.
Fellow rider Shayna Texter then hit Daniels's leg and flew over her handlebars, announcers said during a live stream of the event.
Brindley "was operating a Yamaha motorcycle when he struck a downed cycle and was thrown over the handlebars," NJSP Sgt. Lawrence Peele told Daily Voice.
Brindley remained in critical condition on Monday, Peele said.
Both Daniels and Texter rejoined the race after it resumed.
"I was actually more concerned about the other riders and hope they are all ok," Texter posted on Facebook.
Several racers had complained about the condition of the track earlier in the day.
"Lots of holes," one said.
Another rider, Nick McFadden, 22, of Owensboro, KY, was also taken to HUMC after losing consciousness in a separate race. He was later released.
American Flat Track bills itself as "the world’s premier dirt track motorcycle racing series and one of the longest-running championships in the history of motorsports," as well as "the most competitive form of dirt track motorcycle racing on the globe."

Indian president-elect of Oxford student union quits after racism row
Rashmi Samant, the first Indian woman to be elected president of the Oxford University Student Union, has quit after the emergence of old social media posts that were deemed to be “racist” and “insensitive”.
The posts, mostly on Instagram, included one with a play on words about the Holocaust and a photo of her visit to Malaysia with the caption “Ching Chang”. Both were deemed offensive by Jewish and Chinese students. She also upset others by comparing imperialist Cecil Rhodes to Adolf Hitler in a Student Union debate, and for separating “women” and “transwomen” in an Instagram caption.
Although Samant initially offered an apology for the social media posts, some of which dated back to 2017, in the form of an open letter, she quit as president-elect on Wednesday after facing continued criticism.
She announced her resignation on Facebook, writing: “In light of the recent events surrounding my election to the Presidency of the Oxford SU, I believe it is best for me to step down from the role. It has been an honour to be your President-elect.”
Samant, an alumna of Karnataka’s Manipal Institute of Technology, was elected president of the student union last week. The student of MSc in energy systems at Linacre College received 1,966 of the 3,708 votes in the highest turnout for a student union election.
She belongs to Manipal town in Udupi district. Her father, Dinesh Samant, is a businessman and her mother, Vathsala, a homemaker. Samant did her schooling in Udupi and graduated in mechanical engineering in 2020.
She had positioned herself as an “inclusivity” candidate in the election and campaigned to “decolonise” the Oxford syllabus and to remove all statues proven to be imperialist, including that of Christopher Codrington at the Conference of Colleges.
One Instagram post that showed her at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin in 2017 was captioned: “The memorial *CASTS* a *HOLLOW* dream of the past atrocities and deeds.” Samant contended this was an attempt at punning on words that was hampered by the fact that she is a “non-native English student” and that she “wouldn’t even dare to be insensitive” about such a topic but the post led to her being accused of being “insensitive” by Jewish students.
Another post showing her outside a Buddhist temple in Malaysia had the caption “Ching Chang”. Though Samant claimed the phrase translated from Mandarin to “eat the plants” and was a joke about her being unable to find any vegetarian food at the temple, Chinese students said the term was a reverse Google Translation not used by native Mandarin speakers.
Samant upset others by writing “women, transwomen and men” – thus separating women from transwomen – in an Instagram caption and was accused of transphobia.
She quit after facing pressure from the Oxford University Chinese Society, Oxford Campaign for Racial Awareness and Equality and the LGBTQ+ Campaign.
The Oxford University Chinese Society (OUCS) responded to Samant’s initial apology by saying: “Regrettably, we have not yet heard anything directly from Rashmi Samant. Her long-overdue public apology does not seem sincere to the OUCS. In her apology letter, Rashmi seems to be avoiding addressing her mistakes directly, and it does not show her taking responsibility for her insensitivity to race or ignorance towards the trans-community. We cannot see Rashmi as the SU president we ‘rightfully deserve’ or trust.”
However, the Free Speech Union defended Samant, saying it was disappointed to see her resign. “She has apologised for the things she said and that should have been enough,” a spokesperson for Free Speech Union told MailOnline.
“Publicly shaming young people and hounding them from the public square just because they’ve said something a bit daft on social media will deter all but the most boring to get involved in student politics,” the spokesperson added.
The Oxford Student Union Sabbatical Officers issued a statement to apologise for the “hurt and discomfort caused by the actions of the president-elect” and said: “Oxford SU has a no tolerance policy towards discrimination. Racism, transphobia, and anti-Semitism have no place in our organisation.”
A by-election will now be held to choose a new student union president.

During a protest against anti-Covid measures in Brussels, clashes occurred in which around 35,000 people took part. The protest reportedly started peacefully, but after a group of protesters threw objects at the police, officers used water cannons and tear gas to disperse them.
Five injured police officers and at least 40 arrests in three provinces are the victims of the second night of clashes during the anti-lockdown protests in the Netherlands. This is what the international media report. The Dutch authorities used water cannons, dogs and mounted policemen to stop the rebel youths who started fires and pelted the officers: five of them were injured in The Hague, where most arrests were recorded. Further riots occurred in two cities in the southern province of Limburg, in the city of Urk and in the northern province of Flevoland.
Another fight night on Friday
The violent protests against restrictions resulted in 51 arrests and 7 injured. In the early morning, not only the community, but also the operators of bars and shops swept away the remains of the night clashes between police and protesters, which shocked large parts of the country. “It was an orgy of violence, there is no other way to describe what happened,” says Rotterdam Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb. The fact is that the demonstration was heralded as peaceful and was part of a series of protests that are said to have included Amsterdam and the southern city of Breda the next day, today. But something went wrong on the Coolsingel, the major thoroughfare that connects the train station with the center of Rotterdam. Shortly after 7 p.m., as bars and restaurants prepared to close due to the new anti-Covid rules introduced a week ago by Prime Minister Mark Rutte, the protest turned into violence.
“Whose fault was it?” Asks one of the country’s leading newspapers, De Telegraaf. According to the authorities, the demonstrators included several intruders who fired heavy fireworks, burned and damaged cars in the heart of the city. Very young people and right-wing groups from different parts of the country or connected to the ultras of Feyenoord, the most popular team among the inhabitants, born over a hundred years ago in the southern part of Rotterdam of the same name, one of the most difficult. Yes, because behind the projected image of a city with sustainable and electric mobility in one of the largest ports in the world hides a soul in turmoil, consisting of massive immigration, inequalities, illegal trade and “gabber”, the hardcore music, who was born here in the nineties. But the police were also charged with the Coolsingel riots.
“They shot at eye level,” is the thesis that is circulating in the protesters’ chats. Two of the seven injured were taken to hospital overnight.
The police opened an investigation against the two injured demonstrators. But there are also injured in the police force, luckily easy. And the Rotterdam guerrillas have kind of scared the anti-Covid Dutch citizens, in the trenches, since the government filtered out that the ‘2G’ rule will soon apply in the country, which excludes those who take the test from different public places but he’s not vaccinated (or cured). In Amsterdam, the big demonstration announced in the last few days has been canceled. But hundreds marched in the Rokin, in the center, in a peaceful manner, as happened in Breda. “These are protests that were a group of idiots from Rotterdam,” explains a Dutchman, however, against the new squeeze.

Many questions have been asked by people after the new government took over the country’s reins. Will the new government carry out development work? The last government did some work albeit amidst allegations of corruption. The new government talks of good governance and a non-corrupt society, but will it practise what it preaches? Will the ministers refrain from demanding commissions from project contractors? The United National Party (UNP) which takes prominence in the ruling alliance has a history of privatising state entities. Will it try the same tactics this time as well? These are among the questions which have been asked. Some even allege that the ‘Regaining Sri Lanka’ concept of the previous UNP is likely to be pursued once again. Taking into consideration these unanswered questions the Daily Mirror spoke to Deputy Minister of Policy Planning, Niroshan Perera who is deputising for Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe who is away from the country. Following are some excerpts of our interview with him.
Q An allegation has been made against the government that it is planning to sell state institutions to the private sector. Is such a plan in the pipeline?
Government’s policy is to make people feel that state institutions are run using their own resources. In that context the effort is to change the mindset of the people and thereby instill an understanding of what state institutions mean. We want the people to feel that state institutions belong to them and that they should reap benefits through their effective administration. To meet this need, we are setting up a trust to administer state enterprises.
Q What will be the nature of this trust and who will be included in it?
Our intention is to have experts in various sectors such as power and energy and railways guiding the relative state enterprises. As such,considerable confidence has to be placed in such persons. We are also looking at appointing members of parliament to this trust so that people too will be represented.
Q But the PM in his address to Parliament stated that some institutions will be listed in the stock market?
Strategically important institutions will not be listed in the stock market. Beside those, people would have the opportunity of purchasing shares of state institutions which will be listed in the stock market.
Q Government talks much about megapolis; what is it and what its purpose?
As you may know our urban areas are facing serious issues. One is heavy traffic which is getting worse; there’s a lot of waste in time and energy as a result. It has also become a social issue. This situation drives potential investors away. The objective behind the megapolis is to save time and energy and make Colombo and the Western Province an investor-friendly area. There are many plans with regard to a megapolis. We will be shifting major administration offices to Sri Jayawardenepura Kottte which is to be built up as an administrative zone. Also a monorail system will be introduced to ease traffic. The Southern Highway will be extended towards the Colombo City and Katunayake will be converted into an aviation city. A Colombo-Ratnapura Highway will also be constructed before long.
Q What will become of the Chinese invested Port City to be constructed on the reclaimed land?
This will get off the ground when the environment assessment study is completed. The project plan will be changed. Negotiations are continuing regarding this matter.
"As you may know our urban areas are facing serious issues. One is heavy traffic which is getting worse; there’s a lot of waste in time and energy as a result"
Q The minister of finance talked of constructing new domestic air ports but did not mention anything about the Ratmalana Airport which has the potential to handle international flights. Is there any plan regarding this airport?
The Ratmalana Airport will be developed as a part of the government’s plan to develop domestic airports to boost tourism.
A total of Rs 750 million will be allocated for developing domestic airports that are to be constructed in Puttalam, Digana and Badulla as mentioned in the 2016 Budget.
Q The previous government began work on a domestic airport in Batticlaoa. Is there a plan to continue it or to construct a domestic airport elsewhere in the Eastern Province?
No; our plans do not include the construction of an airport in the East since the Northern Highway will be extended to the East. Highways will reduce the need of domestic airports.
"Government’s policy is to make people feel that state institutions are run using their own resources"
Q The Northern Provincial Council passed a resolution calling for the development of Palale Airport especially to accommodate international flights to South India. Is the government perusing such a project?
There is no point in developing Palaly Airport to conduct international flights to South India as the Katunayake International Airport can handle such flights. The difference in flight time between Palaly and South India and Katunayake and South India is minimal. So there is no purpose in developing Palaly as an international airport.
Q The government is accused of adopting and maintaining a pro-Western policy and that it is opening the economy to them [ the West] What are your comments about it?
Our policy is to [cultivate] a balanced approach. And we are concentrating in maintaining healthy economic and political ties with all countries. One aim of the government is to make Sri Lanka a gateway for East Asian countries such as China to enter into large markets in India especially South India.
Actually China had requested the government to enter into an economic agreement with India so that they could use it to enter the Indian market. Also a joint committee to oversee China - Sri Lanka Trade and Investment has been formed. And I am its co-chairman. Development of economic ties between China and Sri Lanka is the main objective of this committee.

In the Guardian today:
Foreign investment firms, private equity, pension funds and businesses lodged in tax havens own more than 70% of the water industry in England, according to research by the Guardian.
The complex web of ownership is revealed as the public and some politicians increasingly call for the industry to be held to account for sewage dumping, leaks and water shortages. Six water companies are under investigation for potentially illegal activities as pressure grows on the industry to put more money into replacing and restoring crumbling infrastructure to protect both the environment and public health.
More than three decades after the sector was sold off with a promise to the public they would become individual small shareholders or “H2Owners”, control of the water industry has become dominated by overseas investment vehicles, the super-rich, companies in tax havens and pension fund investors.https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/nov/30/more-than-70-per-cent-english-water-industry-foreign-ownership
What percentage of all UK water is that 70%?
Scotland has 90% of the UK’s fresh water – with 7452 million cubic litres, Loch Ness itself contains more water than all the English and Welsh lakes togetherhttps://www.thenational.scot/news/19515230.big-corporations-could-make-scotlands-water-next-oil/
Who owns the Scottish Water?
Scotland’s public drinking water and sewerage services are provided by Scottish Water, a public company accountable to Scottish Ministers and Scottish Parliament.https://www.gov.scot/policies/water/#:~:text=Scotland%27s%20public%20drinking%20water%20and,Scottish%20Ministers%20and%20Scottish%20Parliament.

If you are single and love Donald Trump, boy do we have some news for you.
David Goss, 35, has created a dating site called TrumpSingles.com so you can meet the Trump supporter of your dreams.
He says he started the site because of the “special stigma” that comes with being a Trump supporter (we have no clue what that is), which he claims makes it harder for people like him to date.
When I first saw TrumpSingles.com, I assumed it was a joke, but Goss says the impact the site has had on people is very real. “People have told me that they’re so happy they can finally go on dates without worrying about political differences” Goss says.
There you have it, now go find the love of your life.

On to the next project.
I started knitting Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark’s Girl Friday…on Friday! Then realised the lace would be too cold for the thick jumper I was after. (I want something even warmer than my Aidez. Our place is just too cold in the winter and has already started to feel sub-zero!). Also, after going through all the projects, I decided I don’t really like the clunky way it seams up on the shoulders – looks a bit boxy and squarish….
…and on the back, where it creates a line straight across the back and as a result drops the shoulder seam behind where it should be. The pattern just seems a little wonky.
So here we go again. I am modifying it and cobbling other elements in.
I am modelling the shape off this Toast jumper. Longer with long rib sleeves, a larger shawl collar and higher buttons. With cables. Of some sort. Somehow. Am sort of making it up as I go along (who was it that called my knitting approach ‘ a bit rainman’??! hah).
I love working with the sumptuous organic merino/silk aran blend I am using. It is thick, silky soft with a hint of coolness from the silk that gives it a slight sheen as well. So beautiful in the natural colour! I am a sucker for winter white, and this yarn is a pleasure to hold.
Can’t wait for this one to be done, so I can shroud myself in it and feel luxurious!
There are my sleeves above with the start of my cables…knit two at a time in the round! What fun. It is so much easier than I feared. I am never doing two of one thing separately again!
Check out a great how to video here! Learn the technique. You will love it.

You didn’t think Entertainment Weekly would run a cover story on The Dark Knight Returns and not feature some other new photos inside, did you? Last night we showed you the cover image from the new EW, which features the best look yet at Christian Bale in the new Batman suit. Here are three more images, of Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon, Tom Hardy as Bane and Bale as Batman.
Update: Two more images showed up, so they’ve been adeed to the gallery below.
We’ve already covered the big quotes from Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale that came out of the issue — notably that Nolan says in the context of the film Bane’s voice will make a lot more sense:
I think when people see the film, things will come into focus. Bane is very complex and very interesting and when people see the finished film people will be very entertained by him.
The issue also confirms that Batman will return to a rebuilt Wayne Manor and the Batcave in this film, which is something that most of you probably already realized.
The Dark Knight Rises also features Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Juno Temple, Josh Pence, Daniel Sunjata, Nestor Carbonell, Matthew Modine, Tom Conti, Joey King, Brett Cullen, Chris Ellis, Josh Stewart, Christopher Judge, Adam Rodriguez and Rob Brown.
It opens on July 20. And while we’re likely to see quite a few more images over the next few months, don’t expect another major trailer until around May, likely in front of Dark Shadows.Cool Posts From Around the Web:
