The plans include:
- Killer Whale stadium (!) with killer whale shows
- New dolphin show
- Penguin glacier
The redevelopment plans also aims to be a catalyst for the Aberdeen Tourism Project, which includes new hotels and an entirely new MTR line. The proposed station on the South Island MTR line will enable even more convenient access to Ocean Park, as it will be located just minutes away from Admiralty station.
As usual, Ocean Park’s operating chiefs insist that the expansion and redevelopment should be seen as complementing what Disneyland provides. Apparently, using the word compete between Disneyland and Ocean Park is a big no-no…
The park’s day-to-day operations are not affected by this project and O.P. will remain open during the entire construction.
I, for one, am very excited to see these new plans unveiled and look forward to the renvoation’s completion in 2010.

Ricky Wilson felt under pressure to brush up on his singing skills when recording the new Kaiser Chiefs' album.
Ricky Wilson has had to prove himself as a singer on his band's new album.
The Kaiser Chiefs frontman, whose band are set to release their new record 'Education, Education And War' next month, admits he felt under pressure to brush up on his vocal skills after becoming a coach on BBC talent show 'The Voice'.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: ''I've really had to step it up vocally on the new album. Obviously, if I am judging other people's singing on the show, then I have to prove I can do it too.''
But the band are now ready for a comeback and feel Ricky's exposure on 'The Voice' has helped.
The 36-year-old star explained: ''When Nick left, people assumed we were finished and we realised: 'Sh*t, we're in trouble.
''We had to prove to ourselves, to Nick, the critics and all our fans that we were still fighting.''
He said: ''Leaving my friends in LA felt horrible but feeling so low proved that I love being in a band.''
Ricky admits he has struggled with the hectic schedule when appearing on the show and begged producers to let him have a day off during filming in Manchester.
He said: ''We arrived before daylight and finished at 1am.
''After seven days in a row I said to the other three: 'Shall we take a day off?' Tom said, 'No. You just get on with it, don't you?'
''I would go back to the hotel, but Will would go mix Britney Spears' album and turn up totally committed the next morning.''
The Kaiser Chiefs new album is released on March 31 and the band will showcase material at Scala in London tonight (13.02.14) from 9pm.
'The Now Now' will be released on June 29th, and two new teaser tracks have appeared - 'Humility' and 'Lake Zurich'.

Specialized Roubaix Expert
By Caley Fretz
The Roubaix instigated and has continued to define the endurance bikes category. It’s the only frame in this test that has conquered the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix three out of the last four years, under Tom Boonen in 2008 and 2009 and Fabian Cancellara in 2010. But despite its pedigree, the heavy influx of competition made its success here anything but assured. Nonetheless, it ended up outclassing all comers. We were impressed with its handling and stiffness, akin to a good race bike, as well as its comfort over the long haul and on the harshest surfaces you’d ever ride a road bike. The Roubaix, quite simply, continues to lead the class it created.
Scientific Testing: 30 of 30 Points
The Roubaix dominated in the lab. It achieved the stiffest bottom bracket deflection number of any bike we’ve tested so far, including the aero race bikes in the April issue. Total deflection was a full 2mm less than the second-place Bianchi. Yet somehow the Roubaix was also the best of the bunch at eliminating vertical vibration. With wheels and tires normalized, it narrowly edged the Lapierre on the 1/8-inch bump rollers and crushed all three contenders on the 1/4-inch bump. While it may pain us to use the well-worn phrase, the Roubaix truly is “stiff yet compliant,” in the lab and on the cobbled roads.
Subjective Ride Quality: 24 of 30 Points
Handling is sharp and receptive, with a front end set up identically to Specialized’s thoroughbred Tarmac SL3 and Venge frames except for a taller head tube. The same 56mm of trail provides neutral handling — a good balance between twitchy and stable. Specialized makes its concession to comfort with wheelbase, adding a centimeter to the chain stays and a full 2.4cm to the wheelbase compared to the SL3.
The result is a stable ride both on the road and the rough, but a bike that feels a bit slow to get around tight corners. I normally ride my bars quite low, typically about 2.5cm lower than I could get them on the Roubaix, even with a -17°, 13cm stem. This shifted my weight off the front end and degraded my confidence in fast, hard corners. Those who ride higher positions, however, will notice no difference.
Acceleration is spectacular for a bike not specifically designed for racing, but still felt slightly sub-par compared to those with a more singular focus on speed. The snap it does have is undoubtedly thanks to the race-level stiffness numbers, and the neutral front end feels solid under power both in and out of the saddle.
The comfort I felt on the road was confirmed by our testing, although interestingly I didn’t find it all that impressive on small bumps in the real world. Bad chip-sealed roads, which induce high-frequency vibration, were not smoothed out as well as I had hoped. Larger bumps, like the cobbles in its namesake race, were tangibly less jarring with the Roubaix than on the others.
User Friendliness: 11 of 15 Points
Specialized makes a number of smart component choices, including big, soft 25c tires and plush bar tape, both of which do wonders for ride quality. However, the internal cable routing is a bit of a pain. A good set of sealed cables will last longer and are easier to swap when need be.
Value: 18 of 20 Points
At $3,700, the Roubaix is the most expensive in the test, despite a similar Ultegra build as the other bikes. But the results speak for themselves: the Roubaix is simply a better bike. It tested so well, on the road and in the lab, that the cost premium doesn’t seem beyond the pale.
Weight: 5 of 5 Points
The Roubaix is the lightest bike in this test at 16.86 pounds.

Real Madrid are not the only major club interested in signing Nabil Fekir, according to Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas.
The 24-year-old France attacker was reportedly close to joining Liverpool before the World Cup began, only for Lyon to declare they had pulled out of a proposed deal.
Fekir's agent, though, has since indicated a transfer could yet be completed, while new Real Madrid head coach Julen Lopetegui is reportedly interested in taking him to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Speaking to RT France, Aulas said: "It was expected, at some point, that he could leave for Liverpool.
"I gave the green light, but things did not happen because they took too long.
"Nabil is an exceptional player. The fact that things did not come to fruition with Liverpool aroused the interest of many clubs, not just Real Madrid and their new coach.
"Everything is possible. My goal is to make him stay. I hope he will stay, but if he absolutely wants to leave, we will try to find the biggest club in terms of efficiency and size."
Fekir has come off the bench in France's two World Cup games so far and will be hoping to start their final Group C game against Denmark on Tuesday.

Although there is still some time for the release of Xiaomi’s two flagships Xiaomi Mi 9 and Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 this year. However, recent information about these two mobile phones has exploded. According to the latest industry chain report, Xiaomi Mi 9 and Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 will be equipped with the Snapdragon 855 processor, and will also be equipped with a rear three camera. At present, the shape of Xiaomi Mi 9 is basically determined to continue to maintain the bang design, but the shape of the Mi MIX 4 is still a mystery. Now, some Peoples have produced a rendering of Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 based on rumors.
From the rendering of the exposure, this XIaomi Mi MIX 4 will use a true full-screen design with an ultra-narrow bezel. On the back of the phone is a centered three-shot design. According to the characteristics of Xiaomi, the back material will continue to use ceramics.
Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 will use the Snapdragon 855 processor, and standard 6+128GB storage, which will become the standard for next year’s flagship phone. At the same time, Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 will also support 1TB of storage, retain 3.5mm headphone jack, and support screen fingerprint recognition.
The Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 will eliminate the mechanical slide design. The front lens will use a lift design with 32MP + 13MP dual shots. The self-timer effect will be greatly improved.
In addition to the three-camera design, the rear will also use the periscope structure to achieve 5x optical zoom. It is reported that the photo effect can surpass Huawei MATE 20 PRO.
Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 is expected to be launched in the second half of this year, and will also support 5G. If Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 uses this style, would you consider buying it?

Lynne Featherstone MP last week visited local resident Jonny Rogers at his new Art Gallery and Shop, on Hornsey High Street.
Mr Rogers is the founder of a group called Brand New Start. The group has set up this venue – comprising an art gallery and versatile workshop & performance space – in order to provide a platform for the local community to showcase and celebrate their work, and enjoy freedom of expression and collaboration.
The Liberal Democrat MP for Hornsey and Wood Green visited the venue and met a group of young people, who were at the Gallery setting up for a theatre production later in the evening.
Commenting, Lynne Featherstone MP said:
“It is great to see something so unique and original on our local high streets – and it’s fantastic to see a business involving the community and encouraging creativity. I encourage everyone to visit the Gallery and look at the wonderful items and activities offered.
“I wish Jonny the very best, with the Gallery and with the Brand New Start project.”

World’s first drawing is a red crayon doodle made 73,000 years ago
Early humans made red ochre crayon to draw lines on small rock 73,000 years ago. It was probably part of a larger artwork
12 September 2018
FROM a cursory glance, the lines on this small, brown stone could be mistaken for a natural formation. In fact, it is the first known drawing ever made by human hands.
“This is the beginnings of cultural modernity and sophisticated behaviour,” says Colin Renfrew at the University of Cambridge, who was not involved in its discovery. “You would be astonished if you found another animal species producing something like that. It’s the origins of humankind.”

Anne is a really lovely lady that I admire, she has been through quite a bit over the last few years but she stayed positive and came at the other end. A fighter and I like that in people.
Her favourite colour is TEAL so i had to use some Taken With Teal in her card. I will need to have words with Anne and a few other Passionettes about this Teal for next year LOL
Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake (woohoo) So Saffron and Taken with Teal and a bit of olive for the leaves. Vintage Vogue set and I stamped and layered three of the main flower heads.
The little leaves I stamped in threes and cut around them leaving some extra card to add glue to and stick behind the flowers.
Here s a close up
I added some flat pearls in the centres as well. The Crumb Cake background was stamped with the Baroque motifs swirl in chocolate chip ink.
Stripy So Saffron ribbon and a sentiment banner completes the elegant look. I really like how it turned out.
Anne I hope you will have a fabulous Birthday and you get spoilt rotten.
Right I am off as I have 1 millioooooooon of things to do before I meet up with lots of my wonderful Passionettes and fellow demos in Manchester tonight for a Regional Training. I cannot wait I love those fabulous girls !!!!

Red Deer stag and harem, Cervus elaphus, in Killarney National Park, Kerry, Ireland, during the annual rutting season. Native to Ireland since the last ice age, the red deer population dwindled to around 60 at the turn of the 20th century, but thanks to protection and management now number in the hundreds. During the rutting season, the stags gather around 5 hinds into a harem, and give out a loud, deep roar to challenge or ward off other males. Inexplicably, the red deer hinds are still hunted in Ireland, although it's illegal to hunt the stags in Kerry.

Some funerals will not take place on the day that the Queen is laid to rest. The National Association of Funeral Directors has issues an announcement on social media in regards to what will happen on the day of the late Queen's funeral on Monday, September 19.
According to a BirminghamLive report, the group, which represents funeral directors across the country, said: "We've been asked if any other funerals will go ahead on Monday 19th September. Although work is still ongoing, some funerals will go ahead, others are moving to a different date - led by the needs and wishes of the bereaved families involved.
"Most funeral services booked for 19 September will have been arranged many weeks ago, so funeral directors and cemeteries/crematoria are working with families to find the best approach for each one." James replied: "Families should not be pressured in any way to reschedule, only if they choose to should they be."
Families are behind any decisions to rearrange, the organisation said. Yet even so, the news prompted a backlash on social media with one posting: "Are you actively encouraging /suggesting people move an already booked funeral? If so at whose suggestion?" while another wrote: "This is ridiculous."
Supermarkets, shops and attractions have also announced plans to close to mark the funeral of the last monarch, the longest serving in British history. Schools will close to mark the occasion and pubs can close, although some may wish to stay open.

Google Maps unveiled a new layer on Wednesday dedicated to information about the novel coronavirus pandemic, most notably providing users with access to global case counts and outbreak severity by region.
“This week, we’re introducing the COVID layer in Maps, a tool that shows critical information about COVID-19 cases in an area so you can make more informed decisions about where to go and what to do,” Sujoy Banerjee, Google Maps' product manager, wrote in a blog post.
According to Forbes, the new feature will display the seven-day average for COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people for the map area a viewer selects. The tool also indicates if the rate in a given region is trending upward or downward.
The color-coded map will detail outbreak density by region, ranging from green for areas with fewer than one case per 100,000 people to dark red for areas with more than 40 cases per 100,000 people, Banerjee wrote.
The data reflected will be based on “multiple authoritative sources,” including Johns Hopkins University, The New York Times and Wikipedia, Forbes reported.

What Benjamin Franklin knew about liberty, security
Although he did not intend its meaning in the context of a major debate theses days, Benjamin Franklin essentially said that those who would give up liberty for safety deserve neither.
I can find no better words to describe my sentiment about the proposed extension of a provision in the Patriot Act, which would allow the continued monitoring of all of our most private personal information. We have always been a nation of laws, and I hold the Fourth Amendment very near to my heart.
If we give freedom for security, then we already lost.

The USC men’s track team ended a 33-year drought and the Trojan women extended their winning streak to three against UCLA in a dual meet Saturday at Drake Stadium.
The Trojan men defeated the Bruins, 96-67, for their first victory at UCLA since 1977. The USC women beat UCLA, 106-57, to win three in a row against the Bruins for the first time.
It was the second consecutive year that USC has won both the men’s and women’s meets.
The Trojans won in dominating fashion Saturday. The men’s 29-point win was the largest margin since 1969 for USC, which leads the all-time series, 42-35. The USC women recorded their biggest win since 1992.
The USC sweep was the latest breakthrough for USC under 16th-year coach Ron Allice. In 2001, the USC men beat UCLA to end a 23-year losing streak. In 2008, the USC women won for the first time in 15 years.
“It’s a special day and for the program,” Allice said. “They will never forget this day and what they accomplished. And I won’t either. There are so many outstanding performances in this meet that I cannot single out individuals.”
Among the highlights for the USC men, who have defeated UCLA three of the last four years, were double wins by seniors Ahmad Rashad in the 100 (10.25) and the 200 (20.93) and Aaron Dan in the shot put (58-6 ) and the discus (188-7).
USC won all the throws and swept the 400 with the 1-2-3 finish of Joey Hughes (45.79), Bryshon Nellum (46.31) and Jason Price (47.91). Nellum and Hughes, teammates on Poly High’s 2007 state championship team, also ran on the Trojans’ winning 4×400 relay.
The 400 was the first open race for Nellum in three years after injuring his hamstring in the 4×100 relay in his collegiate debut in 2008. The 2007 Gatorade National Track Athlete of the Year, did not run in 2008 after suffering gunshot wounds in his left thigh and right hamstring at a Halloween party.
Nellum was only allowed to run in the 400 in the dual meet after pleading with Allice as a reward to celebrate his 21st birthday on Saturday.
“It’s been a long journey and I’ve been through a lot,” Nellum said. “It’s been two years of sitting in the stands watching and cheering my team. It feels better to contribute to this victory that we earned today.”
It was also a sentimental afternoon for senior Brandon Estrada, the pole vault winner at 17-5 in the first competition of his career with his father Erik Estrada, who starred in the television series “CHiPs”, in attendance.
The USC women won 14 of 19 events with sweeps of the steeplechase and hammer throw. Senior Judith Onyepunka was a part of three victories – in the 100 in 11.56, the 200 in 23.71 and on the 4×100 relay (with Shalina Clarke, Liz Olear and Aareon Payne) that clocked 44.40.
Junior Zsofia Edrdelyi outdueled Saugus High graduate Shannon Murakami of UCLA to win the 1,500 in 4:26.44 and the 5,000 in a meet-record 16:41.00.
The Trojans received a boost with a win in the pole vault by redshirt senior Bryson Stately, who won in a school record 14-0 to upset UCLA’s Katy Viuf and Tori Pena. It was the first dual meet win for Stately, who attended USC as a freshman and transferred to Nebraska for her sophomore year before returning to USC.

Choosing the right chain lube doesn't have to be a sticky business so we answer the age old question: Wet vs. Dry.
When you have a machine like a bike, you must take care of it in detail so that, with the maintenance road bike chain lube you are doing periodically, you can enjoy it for many years without feeling that time has passed through it.
Sometimes we get carried away by laziness and we only take it to road bike chain lube workshop or we check it when it mtb slick tires close to the moment of inspection or when something has broken down.
As expert advice, maintenance should always be done when the bike is going to be used, just like when it is not taken, it is advisable to do it every two weeks at the most since the rust or corrosion can damage vital parts of our bike.
This happens especially in the chain, a fundamental part and that sometimes we forget about it, most we deal with that thick, filthy paste of mud that accumulates in the chain after long distance outings or ending up with road bike chain lube hard chain that wears out quickly is the worst nightmare of any cyclist. To avoid this, the best bicycle chain lube can be the ideal solution. However, the truth is that road bike chain lube takes a bit of expert help to road bike chain lube it because there are a lot of poor quality cycling shoes store near me that dry in the container and until they arrived, others of silicone that do not measure up and those too liquid road bike chain lube does not achieve the task either.
Also check our article on fixing popped off bike chains. One of the characteristics that have the best lubricants is found especially in that they are able to create a protective layer around the chain and adjacent parts that prevents dust, dirt or even sea salt from corroding the materials, making that they spoil more easily and therefore last less than you had thought.

Talk With Your Dental Professional Concerning Your Options
Even though an individual attempts to take proper care of their own teeth, they might end up losing some of their own teeth as they age. At this time, they’re going to have to speak to their particular dental practitioner with regards to their alternatives as well as learn exactly what they’re able to do to actually replace the teeth they have lost. Occasionally, they may need to check into a Dental implant bridge.
Dental implants replace the lost teeth using posts and crowns which can be secured to the mouth. Unlike dentures, they are permanent teeth and also do not have to be extracted in order to be washed. They don’t call for adhesives as well as they are a lot more comfortable than dentures generally are. Additionally, they work the same as real teeth and individuals are able to brush, floss and eat just like they did prior to when they had the dental implants added in. The individual really should speak to their dental office if perhaps they are concerned with their teeth and also the requirement for dentures or even implants. Implants are not going to end up being the right answer for everybody, however they’re great for most people.
A dental office can also help the person determine whether All-on-4 implants shall be a good idea or maybe if they should look at the more common implants. This particular difference can rely on quite a few factors and the response depends upon the individual. Talk to your dental practitioner right now in order to find out precisely what options are available to you.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) estimate that there are still a few 4 million residences round the United Kingdom, which might be likely to include hidden asbestos materials, and frequently encountered in a friable ( fragile and disintegrating) situation. Any try and take away can bring about fibres becoming airborne and inhaled by using anyone in close proximity, from domestic proprietor or tenant, employer employee to public site visitors, in addition to constructing and demolition people.
It is often suggested that still a ways too many companies appear to own little or no asbestos attention or education to correctly cope with the capability health risks. To minimise time and charges, the fitness and safety techniques are often virtually neglected while current constructing substances observed to include asbestos (ACMs) are dismantled and disposed of along wellknown building waste.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, which came into force at the 6th April, updates previous asbestos policies by means of enforcing EU Directive 2009/148/EC, and goals adjustments at around 3 quarters of one million workers in organizations involved with non-licensable asbestos paintings. From now on, the “Non-Licensable” class of asbestos work may be divided into with a further class, to be called “Notifiable Non-Licensable Work” (NNLW).
According to the HSE, ” All non-licensed work is required to be carried out with the ideal controls in vicinity. Employers will also have an obligation for notifiable non-certified work (NNLW)”, which means that they have to:
Notify work with asbestos to the relevant enforcing authority.
Ensure medical examinations are carried out.
Maintain registers of labor (health information).
The system entails specifying whether a form of asbestos paintings is both licensable, NNLW or non-certified work in each case. To try this, a risk evaluation ought to be performed first to pick out the type of asbestos-containing fabric (ACM) and an assessment of its circumstance.
If the work is exempt from the want for a licence, it should be then decided if it is notifiable non-certified paintings or simply non-certified work. The HSE advocate that the key elements to do not forget are primarily based on the kind of work deliberate, whether maintenance, elimination, encapsulation, or air tracking and the collection and evaluation of asbestos samples.
Identifying asbestos type is critical. Although the most toxic paperwork have been banned from use in 1985, white chrysotile asbestos fibres endured to be included into a selection of constructing substances, which include insulation wallboard (AIB), cement roofing, floor coatings and sprayed insulation, tiles and soffits, infill and adhesive tapes, and many others. An import ban on chrysotile in 1999 turned into accompanied with the aid of a complete ban in 2005. However, it must be assumed that any belongings built or renovated at any time until the quit of the 20 th century has to be suspected of containing asbestos material.
Asbestos observed in a fragile, friable circumstance is specially at risk of launch fibres and is liable to be specified NNLW even as paintings which disturbs the least friable materials e.G. Asbestos cement can usually be handled as non-certified paintings. Encapsulated asbestos, together with cement, paint or plastic, which can be considered to be firmly bonded in a matrix, are much more likely to be found in true condition and can normally be dealt with as non-licensed work.
The ever gift hazard is the disturbance and breathing in of asbestos fibres. Once ingested they embed inside the lung linings and may in the end motive asbestosis sickness or form the lethal incurable tumours of mesothelioma most cancers.
A lengthy gestation duration of between 15 to 50 years is thought to elapse earlier than the primary asbestosis symptoms appear, through which time, the disorder may have spread to adjoining tissues or organs. A affected person’s survival price after a conformed diagnosis may be much less than 6 months.
Under the necessities of the NNLW, the HSE requires ” quick written information ought to be kept of non-licensed paintings, which has to be notified, e.G. Replica of the notification with a listing of people gift on-web site, plus the extent of likely publicity of these workers to asbestos”.
By April 2015, each and each employee who’s uncovered to asbestos must be beneath clinical “surveillance” each three years. The corporation have to hold a register for every employee, which statistics the type and length of labor completed with asbestos and is to be retained for at least 40 years along side copies of all scientific reports.
The HSE country that ” Workers who are already under fitness surveillance for certified paintings want no longer have any other clinical examination for non-certified paintings however medicals for notifiable non-licensed work aren’t desirable for those doing licensed paintings”.
With greater than 1.Eight million humans yearly exposed every year to asbestos and at least 2,000 instances of mesothelioma recognized yearly, the brand new Regulations are an try to reduce brush aside for health and safety on property renovations when there may be nevertheless a ability danger from exposure to asbestos.

RICHARD FLURY (1896-1967): Symphony No. 1 in D Minor, Violin Concerto No. 2 (orch. Urs Joseph Flury [b.1941]), Overture, Introduzione pastorale and Marcia Svizzera from the Opera Casanova e l'Albertolli.
Catalogue Number: 09P001
Description: After the striking mono recordings of this Swiss composer's symphonies-cum-tone poems which we offered last month, we now get some brand-new recordings (of great orchestral spread and dynamic range). The 35-minute symphony is a youthful work from 1922-3 and exhibits elements of German Romanticism and French Impressionism: the first movement is as if Bruckner or Richard Strauss were writing a big nature-symphony using Debussy's color palette at times; the second is a gorgeous pastoral piece with prominent harp; the scherzo the most Impressionistic of all four movements and the finale a good-natured romp which, however, in the manner of Franck (and with much of his weighty, burnished sound), cyclically refers back to the first theme of the first movement. Heady stuff. The concerto comes from 1940 (Flury left it in piano score and his son orchestrated it after his father's death), is in the traditional three movements (lasting just over 26 minutes) and is a laid-back, freely rhapsodizing, lyrical work without much of the younger Flury's Impressionist palette. We aren't told much about the opera Casanova but it's clear from the 11minutes of music from it that it was a comic opera. Ulf Hoelscher (violin), Biel Symphony Orchestra; Urs Joseph Flury.

Process automation in the industrial sector (such as mechanical engineering and plant construction) primarily relies on the use of field buses. Our protocol converter enables data to be transmitted from the field bus (controller, sensors, actuators ) to the superior control center.
This specific application can be implemented with our ipConvLite protocol converter, which is capable of using the Profibus DP protocol to communicate with the Profibus.
Selected protocols are provided for communication with other devices (master or slave).
The IPCOMM proprietary Profibus DPV0 application layer enables the transmission of data such as quality descriptors and time stamps. Using the application layer requires however that the Profibus distant terminal is also capable of sending and receiving information over this protocol.
The Midrange Embedded Controller (MEC2 PROFIBUS) with Profibus interface may be used as a suitable hardware platform.
Reference project: IBIRITE
The ipConvLite or ipConv protocol converters allow the connecting of MODBUS field devices.
Selected protocols are provided for ipConvLite to enable communication with the control center.
Reference projects: ISKI, PEMEX, Madero
Other field buses such as Profibus DPV1, Profibus FMS, 3964R, Sinec-H1 can be connected using our universally compatible ipConv protocol converter, as long as there are appropriate field bus interfaces for the hardware platforms (SEC3, MEC2, IPC191V5 19" 1U or IPC191X1 19" 1U).
Reference projects: Project CFE, Burfell, NPC San Manuel, Labrador, I-SHAPE, FSC HECHI
The ipConvLite and ipConv protocol converters are also capable of linking different field buses, for instance MODBUS and Sinec-H1.
ipConvLite offers a universial solution to connect Siemens Simatic devices of the S7-300/400/1200/1500 family to protocols such as IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-103, IEC 60870-5-104, Telegyr 809, OPC UA, OPC Classic. It is not necessary to modify the Simatic's existing programming.
This example shows an ipConvLite gateway upstreaming data to a remote control unit via the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol. Process data is also provided for local monitoring and control via the OPC UA interface.
The following figure shows a redundant configuration for the example scenario.
The redundant coupling can be realized over a serial RS232 line or over Ethernet. The active device is monitored by the passive one. If the active device fails, the previously passive device is activated and assumes its communication.
The superior control center is also redundantly supplied with data via IEC 60870-5-104.
In addition, the communication with a programmable controller involves the Modbus protocol. At this point, data can also be transferred directly between the Modbus controller and the Simatic controller.

Grapevine Communications and SunCoast Blood Centers work to increase local blood donations.
Blood shortages around the country have been one of the many unfortunate consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Grapevine Communications President Allison Imre and her staff were looking to help close that gap on a deficit that’s hit critical levels in the last few months by hosting a blood drive in front of their Lakewood Ranch office Sept. 18.
Imre said the drive was a success, with more than 10 people donating on a rainy day.
“We’ve had a lot of our staff give blood and we’ve even had some of the people from Cross-Fit behind us come and give blood as they’ve jogged by,” Imre said.
Joan Leonard, the SunCoast Blood Centers community liaison, said there’s about a day’s supply of blood available nationwide. Recent events, such as Hurricane Ida that struck the Louisiana coast, have made reserves even more scarce.
“This is a national crisis,” she said.
The pandemic has hit local blood banks particularly hard. Leonard said that 90% of SunCoast’s mobile drives were canceled in the first year of the pandemic. Things started to get better until a surge in COVID-19 cases resulted in more drives being canceled.
“A couple of businesses that we were going to were seeing an uptick in infections in their staffs, so we had to cancel because their full staff wasn’t there,” Leonard said. “We also aren’t on the high school campuses that we used to go to on a regular basis from August through May. We only have three of the 14 high schools that serve us that are having drives on their campuses."
Leonard said 15% of the U.S. population donated blood 20 years ago. That figure has dropped to less than 3%. If the figure drops any lower it would be similar to a fuel or food shortage.
“It isn’t as easy as placing a bus and having people flock to the bus,” Leonard said. “You really have to have others encouraging people to come on the bus. We’re out there every day asking people and we need new blood - as in people who have never donated before. That would be an answer to the shortage all over the country.”

Portal:Complex Systems Digital Campus/E-Laboratory on Embryome Digital Campus
the repository for Open Questions, Challenges and Ressources of the
Challenges[edit | edit source]
The scientific and societal challenge[edit | edit source]
The embryome is defined as the embryonic physiome, i.e. the multi-scale dynamics of the organism from the egg cell through its embryogenesis and organogenesis, with reference to the Physiome as define by Jim Bassingthwaighte. The concept of physiome encompasses the goals of a novel integrative and predictive biology. It seems the most appropriate to characterize the paradigm underlying the objectives of a growing interdisciplinary community gathering biologists, physicists, chemists, mathematicians and computer scientists, tackling the understanding of biological processes through their phenomenological and theoretical reconstruction from their in vivo observation. This general framework requires designing and implementing technologies, methodologies and tools for acquiring 3D+time data at all levels of living systems and extracting the relevant quantitative information further used in multi-scale analyses. This path is expected to provide in depth understanding of living systems and of their underlying processes unattained so far. We indeed are still far from understanding the basis for living systems morphogenesis, autopoiesis, ageing, homeostasis and resilience. These systemic properties cannot be understood through the mere observation and measurement of local markers and indicators. They must at some point be tackled at the level of the whole systems multi-scale dynamics. Understanding organisms’ systemic properties is a necessary condition for sustainable progress in health sciences through improved diagnosis and personalized therapies towards personalized health.
Designing and sharing new theoretical and methodological tools[edit | edit source]
Biological processes dynamics should be reconstructed from in vivo observations at the relevant spatial and temporal scales. This can be achieved by combining (i) advanced photonic microscopy, producing multimodal and multiscale large 3D+time datasets (ii) dedicated computational analyses providing new kinds of quantitative knowledge and iii) theoretical and methodological tools from dynamical systems theory, statistical physics and mechanics, machine learning theory. From the in vivo observation of biological processes to biological insights, the scientific activity goes through a chain of tasks including raw data acquisition, description, transfer, storage, processing through a pipeline of dedicated algorithms to extract the quantitative information, annotation & storage of processed data, and then data mining & analysis through interactive visualisation, categorization, quantitative comparison, prototyping. With the final goal of integrating data at the different levels of living systems’ organization, from molecules to the whole organism in animal or plant models, the biological community cannot go much further without a massive investment in a common e-environment.
This e-environment should respond to a number of expectation: i) making it easy for biologists to process their images with the best possible strategies to extract the most precise and complete quantitative information; ii) avoiding duplication of efforts; iii) making sure that the quantitative information extracted from different experimental contexts (model organism, sample preparation, imaging technology) may be compared and combined to provide biological insights; iv) making sure that the information produced is easily verifiable, reproducible, and reusable; v) readily integrating new data acquisition methods and information processing technologies and methodologies and vi) ensuring that its database framework is adequate for integrating all the relevant data including traditional “omics” data.
Embryomes-DC aims to respond to the needs of a growing interdisciplinary community. It will provide unified access to and seamless integration of the underlying networking, computing and data infrastructures and services by and for this interdisciplinary scientific e-community.
Embryomes-DC responds to the urgent need to federate individual initiatives and synergistically contribute to the achievements of a common e-infrastructure. The latter should provide a platform for “sequencing” cellular branching processes or identifying and tracking sub-cellular structures or gene expression patterns in an automated and systematic way as done for DNA, RNA and proteins. The Embryomes-DC e-environment aims at: i) attracting biologists to use the new infrastructure, rather working “on the side” with their home computer scientist; ii) attracting computer scientists to focus on contributing to this infrastructure, rather than working “on the side” with their home biologists, and iii) being a worldwide recognized concentration of knowledge for carrying out research in model organisms’ Embryomes.
Embryomes-DC ambitions to become an internationally recognized e-infrastructure concentrating expertise and services and federating currently dispersed initiatives. At the onset of the project, Embryomes-DC will offer services of customized algorithmic workflows executable on the international scientific grid-cloud and producing standardized and quality controlled annotated cell lineage trees of developing model organisms, providing the core of the Embryome. We will then progressively provide transnational access to a computing ecosystem for the automated analysis of 3D+time image datasets and knowledge integration. Autonomic computing and programming concepts allow facing the scalability challenge and the requirements of a growing number of distributed image-producing facilities and image processing and analysis centres to tackle the phenomenological reconstruction issue from molecules to whole organisms. Embryomes-DC education resources ecosystem , will produce and maintain an integrated map of knowledge, and thus respond to the research, training and dissemination needs of the Embryomes’ community.

Grid, Cloud, or other network utilities to be used[edit | edit source]
- The computational tools are available through a unified webservice running on the BioEmergences clusters linked to the GIANT GRID. The BioEmergences clusters are used by wo Virtual Organizations (VO): i) BioMed and ii) Complex Systems. BioEmergences clusters are exploited under the cloud computing mode, thanks to the OpenMole Operating System.
- Access to distributed data is achieved through IRODS. The latter is standard for High Energy Physics all around the world and is currently used by the BioEmergences platform.
- Amazon EC2 server (http://aws.amazon.com/fr/) can be used for data storage.
- TINAsoft: http://tinasoft.eu/ for knowledge maps useful for the projects of the e-lab by studying bipartite graph between authors and theirs topics of all the relevant scientific corpus.
[edit | edit source]
At the beginning, the tools (data storage, workflow, visualisation) to be shared are the tools of the BioEmergences Platform described on the first page of its website. Then the tools to be shared will come from the whole Embryome e-community under open source development.
Enhancement of the different modules of the workflow will be done partly through partner’s addition of new modules, partly through autonomic computing and partly through international contests on gold standard data. The aim of an international contest is twofold: stimulating the imagination of scientists including young ones and assuring that the workflow at a given time is an excellent one with the required flexibility for adapting to different animal’ model and different observations protocols.
Gold standard data will be automatically shared, as well as the data used in publication (in order to allow the checking that the algorithms are well working providing correct interpretation and reconstruction of the raw data.
The Embryome-DC will recommend that the new raw data will be produced under a “delayed Creative Commons” licence, meaning that the Creative Commons licence will apply to the new data after some specified event (like, for example, their first use in a publication).
Comments[edit | edit source]
With the Embryome’s paradigm in mind, the founding partners of this e-lab  made foundational breakthroughs towards the multiscale reconstruction of chosen animal models’ embryogenesis . They designed and implemented the prototype of a platform linked to GIANT to achieve the reconstruction of the cell lineage tree from 3D+time image data sets acquired through the in toto observation of animal model organisms (Drblíková and Mikula, 2007; Melani et al., 2007) (Krivá et al., 2009) (Zanella et al., 2009). This service is today unique and fully original worldwide. This service has a limited task force  and has only been dealing so far with the automated reconstruction of the embryonic cellular dynamics. Correlating with our efforts to disseminate our EC projects achievements, an as yet small number of research groups proposed in the recent years their own automated algorithmic workflows to achieve the reconstruction of cell dynamics from the observation of live model organisms. These initiatives had so far a limited impact on European Research Activity, either because strategies appeared to have very poor precision and accuracy (Keller et al., 2008) or because they were based on commercial software with limited performances (Supatto et al., 2009) or were limited to very specific types of small datasets (Fernandez et al.). Furthermore and most importantly, none of these strategies was designed to be scalable and integrated in GIANT.

Audi, the German luxury automaker has revealed the 2019 A6 sedan. The eight generation of the Audi A6 is all set to be launched in India early next year. The upcoming premium sedan will offer a number of upgrades in terms of looks, features and performance and has made its debut at the ongoing Geneva Motor Show. Here are all the details to know about the 2019 Audi A6.
The 2019 Audi A6 is now 7mm longer, 12mm wider and 2mm taller than the outgoing model with a wheelbase that stands at 2924mm making it 12mm more as compared to the predecessor. Although, the boot space remains the same at 530 litres, Audi claims the luxury sedan to offer more headroom, legroom and shoulder room to the passengers.
Talking about the design, the upcoming luxurious sedan will offer a large hexagonal grille dominating the front fascia flanked by new, sharply styled LED headlights, redesigned bumper and additional large airdams while the side profile looks neat as the shoulder line runs only on the front and rear ends of the car and the scooped out lower half gives it a slightly chiseled look. The wheel size of the 2019 A6 will range from 17 inches to 21 inches as compared to the 18 inches of the current model. Looking at the design, we can say that the sedan follows Audi’s new design language which is in line with the one seen on the new A7 and the A8. However, none of the A7 and A8 has been launched in the country yet. At the rear, the designing elements include a chrome strip running across its width, along with a redesigned bumper and a rear diffuser with hexagonal faux exhaust tips.
Moving ahead, at the inside, we will see the dual-screen setup- the first one being a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen which disappears into the gloss black dashboard when switched off, while the second 8.6-inch screen sits at an angle on the centre tunnel console, replacing old school buttons for the climate control and other functions following the footsteps of all the modern Audi cars. A 12.3-inch virtual cockpit and a heads-up display that projects important information on the windscreen are the other highlights of the interior of the next-gen Audi A6.
Apart from these, the car will come loaded with various driver assistance systems which are divided into three packages- 1. The Park assist package which includes parking pilot and garage pilot that can operate the sedan in and out of a parking space or garage even when the driver is not inside the car. 2. The City assist package boasts crossing assist, a system that detects traffic crossings and applies brakes accordingly. 3. The Tour assist package that has adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and efficiency assist. A central driver assistance controller (zFAS), which continuously calculates a detailed model of the environment with the help of an array of sensors including up to five radar sensors, five cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors as well as a laser scanner are the other driver assistance systems to be offered with a plan to introduce more in future with the A6.
The power to the wheels will come from a 3.0-litre TDI diesel engine that makes 282 Bhp of power and 620Nm of torque. It also gets a 3.0-litre TFSI petrol engine developing 335 Bhp of power and 500Nm torque. While the transmission duties will be carried out by an 8-speed Tiptronic gearbox with the diesel engine, the petrol motors will come mated to a 7-speed S Tronic gearbox. However, Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive will come as standard with both the engines. Other than these, Audi’s mild-hybrid technology to improve mileage will also be offered with the 2019 Audi A6. A belt alternator starter (BAS) is coupled to a lithium ion battery which allows the A6 to coast between 55kmph and 160kmph with the internal combustion engine switched off. It will also offer start-stop function which is activated till speeds of 22kmph. According to the manufacturer, during deceleration the BAS recovers up to 12kW of energy, hence reducing fuel consumption by up to 0.7 litres per 100km which now stands at 6.9L/100km and 5.65L/100km for petrol and diesel respectively as compared to the outgoing A6 that returns a mileage of 5.8L/100km with the 1.8L TFSI petrol and 4.3L/100km with the 2.0L TDI diesel. However, the catch is that due to the higher tax rates on hybrid cars in India, Audi might not bring the hybrid version of the A6 to the country.
The launch confirmation of the 2019 Audi A6 in the Indian market is still awaited and is expected to be followed by the launch of the sedan in the German market in June this year. When launched in India, the car will continue to take against the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 series, Jaguar XF and the Volvo S90 in the country and is expected to be priced ranging from Rs 53.8 Lakh to Rs 55 Lakh. Stay tuned to V3cars.com for further updates on the upcoming Audi A6.

Holding city to ransom
Government in no mood to relent to ‘illogical demands’; forms 25 teams to check harassment, reports Atul Mathur.delhi Updated: Aug 18, 2009 23:35 IST
Even as auto-rickshaw unions called off their two-day strike late on Tuesday, the Delhi government is in no mood to relent.
In an emergency meeting of senior transport officials, Delhi transport minister Arvinder Singh Lovely devised a strategy to deal with the "illogical demands" of auto-rickshaw unions and their threats for more strikes in future.
"We have formed 25 additional enforcement teams to check notorious auto-rickshaws. We will impound vehicles and cancel permits of auto-rickshaws who refuse passengers or over-charge or any auto-rickshaw threatening to strike work," Lovely said.
"There are 2,300 applicants in queue for auto permits. We will give permits to them rather than to those who try and harass passengers," he added.
He said these teams would be stationed at prominent locations like railway stations, inter-state bus terminals and hospitals and would keep an eye on auto movement.
To tackle any such strike in future, Lovely said school cabs and radio taxis would be roped in and would be allowed to pick passengers.
"We spoke to the radio taxi operators and school cabs associations today and they offered us help. Had the auto rickshaw unions gone ahead with their strike, we would have used radio taxis and school cabs," said Lovely.
The minister said a meeting of commissioner transport and joint commissioner of police (traffic) has been convened to devise a long-term strategy to check auto-rickshaw menace.
Senior transport officials, meanwhile, said the helpline service (No. 40400400) would be revived within three days to register complaints against auto-rickshaws overcharging or harassing passengers.
Bharatiya Tipahiya Chalak Sangh president Sobran Singh Rajput said their protest was not meant to harass public but to fight against the government's policies.
“The two-day strike is meant to pressurise the authorities to understand our problems,” he added.
