Of Port Shepstone, and 150 m.
Port Shepstone is situated at the mouth of the river, which, like that of all others in Natal, is obstructed by a bar.
Port Shepstone, at the mouth of the Umzimkulu river, is the natural outlet for south-west Natal.
The south coast line, which runs close to the sea, goes to Port Shepstone (79 m.).
On the lower Umzimkulu, near Port Shepstone, marble is found in great quantities.
Under the superintendence of Shepstone the original refugees were quiet and contented, enjoying security from injustice and considerable freedom.
As a result of consultations with Shepstone certain modifications were made in native policy, chiefly in the direction of more European supervision.
The annexation of the Transvaal to Great Britain, effected by Sir Theophilus Shepstone in April 1877, would, it was hoped, put a period to the disorders in that country.
The year that witnessed this change in the constitution was also notable for the death of Sir Theophilus Shepstone, Natal's most prominent citizen.
Bird, The Annals of Natal, 1 495 to 1845 (2 vols., Maritzburg, 1888), a work of permanent value, consisting of official records, &c.; Shepstone, Historic Sketch of Natal (1864).
Sir Theophilus Shepstone was given a commission, dated the 5th of October, 1876, instructing him to visit the Transvaal and empowering him, if it was desired by the inhabitants and in his judgment necessary, to annex the country to the British crown.
" After careful investigation Shepstone satisfied himself that annexation was the only possible salvation for the Transvaal.
Shepstone was willing to find some way other than simple annexation out of the difficulty, but none appeared to present itself.
Sir Theophilus Shepstone, finding that the raad would not adopt any remedial measures, on the 12th of April 1877 issued a proclamation annexing the country.
The history of the Transvaal is more complete and better understood to-day than it was in 1877, and no one who acquaints himself with the facts will deny that Shepstone acted with care and moderation.
Even before annexation had occurred, Shepstone felt the danger so acutely that he sent a message to Cetywayo, the Zulu chief, warning him that British annexation was about to be proclaimed and that invasion of the Transvaal would not be tolerated.
To this warning Cetywayo, who, encouraged by the defeat of the Boers at Sikukuni's hands, had already gathered his warriors together, replied: " I thank my father Somtseu [Shepstone] for his message.
A still further reason for Shepstone's annexation, given by Sir Bartle Frere, was that Burgers had already sought alliance with European powers, and Shepstone had no reason to doubt that if Great Britain refused to interfere, Germany would intervene.
Shepstone determined to dispense with his further services as a government servant, and terminated the engagement.
In the beginning of 1879 Shepstone was recalled and Colonel Owen Lanyon, who had served in Bechuanaland and was then administrator of Griqualand West, was appointed administrator in the Transvaal.
There in 1877 Sir Theophilus Shepstone proclaimed the annexation of the Transvaal to Great Britain.
The agent chosen to preside at the nomination ceremony was Mr (afterwards Sir) Theophilus Shepstone, who was in charge of native affairs in Natal and had won in a 1 Bishop Schreuder, a Norwegian missionary long resident in Zululand, gave Sir Bartle Frere the following estimate of the three brothers who successively reigned over the Zulu: " Chaka was a really great man, cruel and unscrupulous, but with many great qualities.
In 1873 the Zulu nation appealed to the Natal government to preside over the installation of Cetywayo as king; and this request was acceded to, Shepstone being again chosen as British representative.
(1841-1909) was A.D.C. to Sir Theophilus Shepstone when the Transvaal was annexed in 1877.
He continued, however, so openly to agitate for the retrocession of the country, being a member of two deputations which went to England endeavouring to get the annexation annulled, that in 1878 Sir Theophilus Shepstone, the British administrator, dismissed him from his service.
There are monuments of Queen Victoria and Sir Theophilus Shepstone, and various war memorials - one commemorating those who fell in Zululand in 1879, and another those who lost their lives in the Boer War 1899-1902.
The feeling of distrust was removed in 1861 by a visit from Mr (afterwards Sir) Theophilus Shepstone, secretary for native affairs in Natal, who induced Panda to proclaim Cetywayo publicly as the future king.
In 1872 Panda died, and Cetywayo was declared king, August 1873, in the presence of Shepstone, to whom he made solemn promises to live at peace with his neighbours and to govern his people more humanely.
Cetywayo was reinstalled on the 29th of January 1883 by Shepstone, but his enemies, headed by Usibepu, attacked him within a week, and after a struggle of nearly a year's duration he was defeated and his kraal destroyed.
Another member of the conference was Sir Theophilus Shepstone, (q.v.) Neither Cape Colony nor the Transvaal was represented, 1 At Sir Henry Barkly's request Lord Carnarvon's predecessor, Lord Kimberley, had in November 1871 given him (Sir Henry) authority to summon a meeting of representatives of the states and colonies to consider the " conditions of union," but the annexation of the diamond fields had occurred meantime and Sir Henry thought the occasion inopportune for such a conference.
In view of the troubles in the Transvaal, and in furtherance of Carnarvon's federation scheme, Shepstone was, on the 5th of October following, given a dormant commission to annex the republic " if it was desired by the inhabitants and in his judgment necessary."
Shepstone preceded him, and in January 1877 had gone to Pretoria.
His conferences with the leading men in the Transvaal and a consideration of the dangers which threatened it and the grave disorders within its borders satisfied Shepstone that he had no choice except to act upon his commission, and on the 12th of April he issued a proclamation annexing the country to the British Crown.
Shepstone was convinced that it was the only step which could save the country from ruin.
Shepstone, the Liberal cabinet were prepared to get rid of the chief British representative in South Africa - partly to please the extreme Radicals among their followers.

I started by stamping the large Modern Basics border image in Summer Sunrise. Then layered a few Grunge Me images in Enchanted Evening and Raspberry Fizz and a sentiment in True Black. I can't wait to pair these two together again.
Next, Tag-its #3 by Heather Nichols. So far this is my favorite of the Tag-it series, although I think I say this every time. I love the style of this card! It's a bit out of the normal for me, but it makes me happy.
I love how easy it is to turn the tiny flower bunch into a flowery row, by simply stamping the image over and over again. What do you think of the butterfly?! I attached five Love Lives Here butterflies together, in the center, and the spread the wings apart with dimensional adhesive. Gives the card a ton of dimension!
How about some My Hero, My Dad, another set by Tiffany Pastor. This set includes a ton of sentiments perfect for guy cards but it also includes a few very versatile images.
I was able to create this awesome pattern with a few of those images. I love sets like these, that give you unlimited pattern building options.
Next up, Flower Fusion #3 by Melissa Bickford. I've been waiting for for this third set! I've been anxious to recreate this (third card down in blog post) card idea, using all of the coordinating Flower Fusion flower stems together. I used the same basic technique as before. Although, this time around I stamped the stems across the entire length of the card.
Stamped and attached a vellum sentiment strip with some hidden dimensional adhesive and embellished with a few die cut Flower Fusion flowers.
Also, Train Tracks by Beth Silaika. This train is so stinking cute!!! Cutest train I've seen yet. I created a hand stamped pattern using the different train parts stamped in Pure Poppy, Ripe Avocado, Summer Sunrise and Stormy Sky Distress Ink.
And this little guy makes me smile, because he was so easy to make and he's adorable. Die cut from kraft cardstock and then touched him up with a few matching Copic markers.
Last, but not least! Ad Sense and Boy Basics: Simple Circles both by Lisa Johnson. Check out this label, love the shape! Stamped it using a few of the images and sentiments from Ad Sense.
And this border die is soooooo versatile, it can go from this (with a few buttons) to this (pictured above) using the coordinating Boy Basics: Simple Circles set and a few other images from Ad Sense.
So there you have it! All supplies used are listed in the Papertrey Ink gallery.
I hope you've enjoyed the goodies from yet another fabulous release! I'd love to hear what you all are looking forward to receiving the most from this months release! Can't wait to see what you create!

According to a Regeneron statement to NBC News, the company based its tests for its anti-COVID-19 treatment on a cell line called HEK293T. They come from fetal kidney tissue that was donated in the 1970s. Research laboratories use these cells because they can replicate indefinitely, and are therefore considered “immortalized.”
“293T cells were used to test the ability of antibodies to neutralize the virus. HEK293T was not used otherwise, and fetal tissue was not used in this research. We do not use human stem cells or embryonic stem cells in the development of the monoclonal antibody cocktail, “said Alexandra Bowie, Regeneron’s spokeswoman.
The properties of HEK293T cells are very useful in scientific research. They can be trained to generate virus proteins like small factories, said Arnold Kriegstein, director of the stem cell program at the University of California, San Francisco.
The researcher, who is not involved in Regeneron’s research, says scientists can exploit these properties in the development of treatments and vaccines for COVID-19, as cells can be taught to produce the so-called spike protein of the virus. It is a unique protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19 disease, so it is an excellent target for drugs and vaccines.
It is also the mode of action of Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody-based treatment that binds to this spike protein through which the virus infects cells. HEK293T cell lines played a role in the early development of the drug: the researchers used cells trained to produce the virus protein to test the drug’s effectiveness against the virus.
“The antibodies themselves are not made up of these fetal cells. But the role of these cells has been critical in testing the effectiveness of their method, “said Kriegstein.
Fetal tissue cells have been used over the years in studies of birth defects, Alzheimer’s disease and AIDS.
“I think it’s very important to know that the public understands that this tissue has been important in a number of discoveries over time and will continue to be an important resource,” he said.
Three of the vaccine candidates who received federal funding in the White House’s Warp Speed operation to develop a vaccine also used fetal tissue-derived cells in their preliminary research. AstraZeneca and Moderna used the HEK293T cell lines, while Johnson & Johnson used the PER.C6 cell line derived from retinal cells of an aborted fetus in 1985.

Marin Independent Journal, August 12, 2018
As a physician, I am convinced that we need a single-payer system or Medicare for All to provide cost-effective, quality health care to all Californians.
In 2017, after 50 years in private practice, I began to volunteer at the Marin Community Clinic, seeing referral patients with kidney disease long before they reached end stage, and universal coverage for hemodialysis, preventing death in uremia. How logical. Treat everyone early when the disease could be arrested, or slowed, at a fraction of the $80,000/year that dialysis costs, often for 20 years! Why wait until it is too late to include everyone?
Why doesn’t everyone have access to a kidney specialist like these safety net patients do? California has a shortage of medical specialists willing to see charity patients, or even those “insured” by MediCal. Nephrologists in private practice volunteered their time, but the numbers overwhelmed the best of intentions.
Younger practitioners, facing $250,000 or more in educational loans, simply can’t afford to fill their offices with MediCal patients when the reimbursement per hour, $100, is not enough to cover overhead, alone. Delays in diagnosis and treatment are inevitable.
Effective primary care is the answer, and that can come about, with no additional cost to what is currently being spent, if a California single-payer program is instituted.
I joined Marin’s chapter of Physicians for a National Healthcare Plan to advocate for a California single-payer system.
In the November election, just ask your candidate what he has done to preserve your health.

Legacy Amateur Series brings two title fights, intriguing amateur prospects to Houston this Saturday
The Legacy Amateur Series returns to Houston this Saturday night for what should be an exciting card to open up the year. As usual, this show is set to feature some of the area’s fastest rising amateurs and there are some intriguing bouts for some of them here. This includes two title fights up top with the lightweight and strawweight both on the line.
Let’s take a look at some of the more interesting fighters and fights set for Legacy Amateur Series 15 in further detail:
Five Fights to Watch at Legacy Amateur Series 15
115 lbs.: Jordan Carmona vs. Mike Deleon <TITLE>
At only 18 years old Jordan Carmona is already one of the brightest rising stars in Houston. His talent was evident to anybody who watched him grappling in the juvenile divisions and he’s taken that with him to MMA in the last year. Just a year after his amateur debut and Jordan will be fighting for his first title. This follows three straight first round submissions to start his career.
Taking on Carmona will be another young fighter in 22 year old Mike Deleon. Fighting out of Hard Head Hitters, he too has started strong with a 3-1 record. His only loss was to current flyweight champion David Acosta. Aside from that he’s beaten everybody he’s faced so far.
This fight is a pivotal test for both guys with the winner walking out as the first Legacy Amateur Series strawweight champion.
155 lbs.: Sage Northcutt vs. Luis Lara <TITLE>
Speaking of title fights, our next one to watch also has some gold on the line in the night’s main event. This time it’s in the lightweight division with amateur vet Luis Lara taking on rising prospect Sage Northcutt.
Luis Lara walks into this one with a lot more experience than his opponent. He’s been fighting since 2011 as a student to Saul Soliz. In fact his only two losses have come against other top-rated amateurs at the time in Eric Garcia and Kolton Englund so he’s had his tests. He’s won most and lost some (to those two) but make no mistake about it, Luis Lara is a formidable opponent for anybody at this level. No word on plans to go pro but he’ll face another tough opponent to prepare for such a moment this Saturday.
As for Sage Northcutt, what he lacks in time spent in MMA has been overcome by quantity of fights. It’s hard to believe he had 4 fights last year, his first in MMA. He was a karate champion before that and he’s also spent a lot of time on the grappling circuit as well. All the while he’s also competed in fitness competitions along with wrestling. This kid is nothing else if not well-rounded. And it’s worth noting that he seems to have improved at a steady pace as well, on and off the mats. If he keeps at it, the sky may be the limit for him.
Looking at this fight in depth, it seems Lara will be the stiffest test for Northcutt’s young career. Sage hasn’t quite faced someone with Luis’ physicality just yet. And although past opponents like Nico Escheverry can wrestle, none of those guys are quite as big or strong as Luis will be. For his part Sage will also come into this fight as an athletically-gifted fighter in his own right. Perhaps even more so than any of Lara’s past opponents and that’s saying a lot. Long story short, this will be a very intriguing fight. Maybe even Fight of the Night at LAM 15.
145 lbs.: Jake Heffernan vs. Quentin Kiper
Jake Heffernan walks into Saturday night’s fight with undefeated at 3-0. More impressive is how the GB Woodlands fighter accomplished that record, finishing each of his first three opponents. Given the success of his team (as far as winning records go) perhaps it’s time to start paying note to this prospect. Quite a fitting time too considering he’s facing a tough, seasoned opponent in Quentin Kiper. Fighting out of BJJ Revolution Quentin has posted a 2-2 record so far but it’s kind of deceiving considering who he’s lost to. Adrian Yanez (1-0 pro) says Quentin was his toughest fight out of 6 as an amateur. Quentin’s only other loss came to a (now) 4-1 pro in Eric Valdez. And he gave both of those guys a great fight. No doubt he’ll do the same for Jake here. It’s a coin toss who wins this one but whoever does should have some opportunities in the near future coming their way.
120 lbs.: Nico Daily vs. Kevin Martinez
We’ll be watching this one for Nico Daily. His story is unique in that he’s stepped up to bat six times so far as an MMA fighter but has yet to get his first win despite coming close a few times. Talk about a trooper! What he lacks anywhere else he’s definitely not lacking in the heart department. He’ll be facing a debuting fighter in 18 year old Kevin Martinez as he hunts for his first win.
115 lbs.: Matt Hernandez vs. Hunter Robichaux
One of our more anticipated fights on this LAM 15 card is a battle between debuting 17 year olds Matthew Hernandez and Hunter Robichaux. Standing identical at 5’3” and 115 lbs. both these young men are part of that new generation that grown up training. Being the son of former MMA champion Chad Robichaux, Hunter began with MMA/BJJ pretty much as soon as he could walk. Hernandez wasn’t too far behind in starting either. He’s been training with guys like Hector Munoz and Roger Narvaez since he too was a little kid. As they’ve gotten older, both have looked to expand their skillsets. They still compete in BJJ but both also added scholastic wrestling and more striking to their schedules also. A little puzzling why they’re facing each other in their first time out but it also speaks volumes about their competitive drive. Neither one of these guys is the type to back down. That speaks volumes about their potential future in MMA.

The DC mentality never fails to impress.
In response to a drive by shooting of nine people earlier this year, some of the families of the victims want to ensure that no one else in DC has the means to protect themselves from the rampant violence. Their means is to lobby congress to prevent the pro-gun bill that gets attached annually to the DC voting rights bill from ever seeing the light of day again.
These people no doubt just want the violence to stop, so I don't cast any stones at their end result, only the means.
At the first link, notice how all three of the men who carried out the shooting had extensive criminal histories. This happens again and again and again all throughout America: some scumbags that have made a career out of hurting people decide to elevate their crimes to murder, and the first thing the community and bureaucrats do is try to make things safer by taking away weapons from everybody, instead of focusing on the real problem of keeping these scumbags locked up in the first place. Or, sometimes when the bureaucrats go at it alone, without the help of grieving families, you end up with efforts to ban Go-Go joints, or pizza shops, or dead end streets, or high school football; anything but an attempt to strike the root of the issue.
The opportunity to prevent violence like this drive-by in question occurred years ago, but sadly was lost by the same people who are now trying to stop it by trampling the rights of everyone else. Again, I don't question the heart of these families, or the politicians who are listening to them, but I have to say that if they are not looking at fixing the revolving door policy of DCs criminal justice system, than they are only helping the next murderous teenager in carrying out his crime.
It's not the guns; it's the criminals. When the criminals show a pattern of violence, then put them away for good and you will have your remedy. Why aren't the outraged families screaming about the violent criminal history of the three scumbags? There will never be any shortage of weapons for criminals, but there can definitely be a shortage of scumbags if they are kept in a cage.
Feel good legislation will only take an opportunity away from the good citizens, and aid the DC scumbag in achieving their crimes.

In part 1 of “That’s Easy For You To Play” I wrote about the importance of using efficient voice leading when connecting the chords of your songs. A key component of efficient voice leading is preserving common tones between chords. A common tone is a note shared between two chords.
Check your own voicings to ask yourself if you’re lifting your right hand to a root position voicing. In other words, when playing a common progression like D G Bm A is the root of the chord in the thumb of your right hand, with the 3rd and 5th stacked above it?
If so, you’re not using efficient voice leading. This is especially crucial if you’re playing pad sounds. Scrutinize pad sounds on modern worship recordings and you’ll probably notice something very important: full triads are rarely played. Instead, open voicings are used. Open voicings feature wide intervals like 4ths and 5ths. The opposite of open voicings is block voicings. Block voicings feature lots of stacked 3rds.
Just as efficient voice leading should influence your piano and electric piano parts, creating open voicings should definitely factor into your pad voicings. A simple check you can do to determine whether you’re using open voicings is to look for three stacked chord tones. Experiment with skipping a chord tone. If you’re playing the root, skip the 3rd and play the 5th. Then above the 5th skip the root and play the 3rd.
This might seem way too clinical right now for you, but my goal here is to help you create pad parts that are voiced like those you hear on recordings. Along those lines, the most significant thing I can advise you to do when creating pad parts is to build your parts around 2 essential notes in the key, the 1st and 5th notes of the scale. In the key of D, the 1st and 5th notes of the scale are D and A. Let either of these notes be the top note of your pad voicing and you’re on your way to creating an effect part.
Scrutinize a recording that features conspicuous pad parts and I suspect you’ll hear an important feature. Whether the 1st or 5th note of the scale is placed on top of the voicing, that note is held throughout the chord progression.
If you want to become someone of whom it could be said, “That’s easy for you to play” regarding pad parts, keeping 1 or 5 on top of your voicing will require you to be confident of some modern chord colors commonly used. Remember these terms: 2, 7 and add4.
Let’s say you want to keep the 5 on top in the progression listed earlier. 5 is A in the key of D. Play an open voicing, A on top, D below it. That works well for the D chord. When you reach the G chord, you’ll need to transform the G chord into a G2 chord. G2 is spelled G A D. By choosing the G2 instead of the G, you’re now able to let the A be heard over the G chord. When the Bm chord comes, the A can continue as the top note if you think of the Bm as a Bm7 instead.
So far, this open voicing featuring an A on top and D on bottom has worked for our first 3 chords in the progression. When the A comes around, we have a dilemma. An A chord is spelled A C# E. The A we’ve been holding is a common tone, but the D isn’t. Well, we can transform this chord into an Aadd4. This chord is spelled A C# D E. That C# D interval is very dissonant and beautiful below the A. Your voicing, then, could be A on top with a D and C# below it. If you were to play the C# D and E of the Aadd4 chord, it’s a bit too dense a voicing. Leave out the E and the rich dissonance of the C# and D will be featured. Then when you repeat the progression back to the D, that dissonance is resolved, and you’ve created some nice momentum back to the D. Apply the 2, 7, add4 modifications to the chord when play the D as the top note of your voicing. You’ll end up with:
Deep breath time. This explanation is quite detailed, but give yourself time to experiment with these voicings. Instead of playing pad parts with the open voicings I’m describing, play full triads. You’ll easily hear the distinctly modern sound open voicings bring.

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
After centuries trapped in Phil's vase, Shazzan pops out by the hand of Peanut. Or rather, Master Peanut, who proceeds to wish for everything that's, uh, big. Shazzan, because ostensibly it's a law show, forms a case against his imprisoner, Mufti the Mizwa of Muzzy Tah! All the while, Avenger - without warning - speaks, embracing a fresh vocabulary of insults and occasional slurs.
After 30 years of failed attempts, X gets the crest on Birdman's helmet. Convinced he's powerless without his crest, Harvey falls apart, stops shaving and loses a case defending Ricochet Rabbit from charges of wanton and willful destruction. X, on the other hand, turns his life around. He starts fighting for the cause of all that is good, winds up in newspaper headlines and on afternoon talk shows.
Phil brings his daughter to work and around the same time, Birdgirl makes an appearance in Harvey's office. Desperate to be a part of the Birdteam--heck, desperate for there to even BE a Birdteam--Birdgirl sets out to prove her superhero and litigating and superhero litigating skills in the offices of Sebben and Sebben. She arrives just in time to help Harvey defend Morocco Mole on charges of being an enemy combatant. Oh, and Phil has the hots for Birdgirl, who may or may not be his daughter.
When the whirlpool in Potamus' office sucks them back into pre-history, Harvey, Potamus, Peanut and Phil must find their way back to the office. Or rather, Harvey must find his way back. Phil wants to stay to exploit the untouched natural resources, Potamus wants to stay to exploit his status as idol among the natives and Peanut wants to stay to exploit the market for hirsute cheesecake shots.
When Cavey Jr.'s school refuses to teach evolution, Captain Caveman turns to Harvey to defend the hairy little boy's right to an education. Harvey not only has to prove evolution but also explain the existence of a talking caveboy. As if that's not enough, Harvey also suffers his latest existential crisis at the hands of Reducto. A rousing song and dance number follows.
Turner Classic Movies' Robert Osborne introduces a recently "discovered" episode of the "classic" "Birdman" series. In this very special Birdman, a pre-law-school Harvey encounters a number of his future courtroom adversaries who try to kill him. Oh, and a six-legged spider, which only manages to irritate entomologists everywhere.
Birdgirl's back with a new case for Harvey; Race Bannon and Dr. Quest want to form a legal partnership. Unfortunately for Harvey, the case goes to the highest court in the land, the Justice League. In the meantime, Phil has set his sights on Birdgirl and he won't take no for an answer. How far will Birdgirl go to protect her secret identity? Really, what girl doesn't dream of getting a marriage proposal... from her father?
Sheer courtroom boredom drives Mentok to mindswap Spyro. Unfortunately, Mentok promptly loses Spyro's mind and is forced to drag him around until he finds the lost brain. Kitty-lovin' Harvey takes Top Cat and his crew into his home and somehow winds up in the pokey for running an illegal gambling establishment.
Welcome to Sebben and Sebben, new employee! In this eleven and a half minute romp through the halls of everyone's favorite fake animated law firm you'll learn what makes working here so special. And that's not even including our unique approach to sexual harassment training.
While engaging in one of the more dangerous aspects of lawyering, photocopying, Harvey has a run in with an old nemesis, The Deadly Duplicator. An unintentional slight sets the Duplicator off... to duplicate. And duplicate and duplicate.

Elevator Internet of Things Pilot Project Launched
"At present, the number of elevators in use in Changzhou has exceeded 50,000, growing at a rate of more than 10% per year, but there are relatively few professional maintenance personnel. One maintenance personnel is responsible for at least 50 elevators per month, and the overload of maintenance personnel is widespread." Zhou Changxin, general manager of Changzhou Special Equipment Industrial Park, introduced that the pressure of elevator safety supervision is increasing, and advanced technology is urgently needed to improve the safety performance and management level of special equipment.
On March 1 this year, Changzhou Elevator Safety Management Regulations were formally implemented. Construction units were encouraged to give priority to the selection of elevators with monitoring functions. Elevator emergency disposal service platform was required. Therefore, Changzhou Elevator Internet of Things safe operation pilot project was launched in time.
It is understood that the elevator Internet of Things is a concept proposed to solve the current elevator safety problems. Data acquisition, data transmission, central processing and application software constitute a complete elevator Internet of Things monitoring system. The collector collects elevator operation data and uploads it to the Internet monitoring center. Combined with platform application software, it realizes real-time and effective supervision and maintenance of elevators by relevant units.
Effectively Solve the Pain Point of Elevator Maintenance
Wang Jianxin, chairman of Changzhou Special Equipment Industrial Park, introduced that although the elevators are being maintained by professional teams employed by property companies, the property itself lacks professionals, unable to effectively supervise and maintain the quality, and the safe operation of elevators is not effectively guaranteed. When passengers are trapped in elevators, they usually notify the maintenance company of the property after they seek help, and the maintenance company notifies the maintenance personnel again. The traditional emergency rescue usually takes an hour or more. The quality of elevator maintenance is difficult to guarantee, and the rescue efficiency is low after the accident, which is a common "pain point" in the current elevator maintenance industry.
After the safety operation project of the elevator Internet of Things starts, the "pain point" problem can be solved. The elevator property company can use the system to evaluate the maintenance work of the maintenance company, and use data to judge the quality of maintenance, so as to reduce the occurrence of elevator accidents. In the event of a trapped elevator accident, maintenance companies can also use the system to arrive at the scene in time to troubleshoot.
"Elevator maintenance is more standardized. Workers have to swipe their cards at the beginning and end of maintenance. They can effectively supervise maintenance work. When elevator maintenance is needed, the system will warn and prompt one month in advance. The elevator is equipped with a key alarm, and the monitoring center dispatches professionals nearby. Wang Jianxin said.
Phase I plan to install more than 2000 units
In 2018, we will comprehensively promote the first phase of the construction of the Elevator Internet of Things in Zhonglou District, with more than 2,000 units planned to be installed. From the end of March, we will take the lead in implementing the Qingfeng Mansion and Jindi Holiday District. We will gradually complete the installation plan of 200 units per month. Meanwhile, we will select some key public places in Wujin District, Xinbei District and Tianning District. The district carries out pilot promotion.
It is understood that the information collection terminal of the elevator Internet of Things is mainly installed in public places with high risk, high failure rate and dense personnel, such as shopping malls, hotels, hospitals, schools, stations, wharfs, office buildings, administrative organs and residential quarters, to ensure the safety of elevator use in public areas. The first phase of the project provides a strong guarantee for the selection of the optimal operation mode for the urban construction of the elevator Internet of Things project.
After the completion of the first phase of the project, the Elevator Internet of Things project will continue to be implemented in accordance with the requirements of the Changzhou Municipal Government and relevant elevator management departments. The relevant coverage and implementation progress of the system will be specifically agreed by both sides to achieve city-wide coverage within three years.

NASSAU, The Bahamas – The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) is pleased to receive the remainder of equipment which is part of the $1.8 million Japanese Grant Aid project to The Bahamas in support of the country’s disaster management programme. The equipment includes four balloon lights, eight water pumps, 40 VHF base radio stations, and 200 hand-held radios.
Some 25 staff from NEMA, personnel of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force, the Royal Bahamas Police Force and the Ministry of Works underwent training, December 17-20, in basic operation and maintenance of the equipment.
Expert trainers were Derrick Holder and Ronald Alleyne from Barbados, and Takuro Nagai, Manager of the Technical Department and Hiroshi Ohbo, Manager/ Service and Maintenance Section of COMFORCE Japan.
In October 2018, the Government of The Bahamas through NEMA during an Official Handover Ceremony accepted from the Government of Japan a wheel crane, a tractor head truck, along with two 40-foot trailers, two freezer containers and two flatbed cargo trucks.
Over the next six months, NEMA, in collaboration with its public and private partners will aim to install a base radio and a number of hand-held radios in each of the Family Island-designated Emergency Operations Centers (EOC), to support the local Disaster Consultative Committees with their emergency communications.
The water pumps and balloon lights will be strategically placed among the three Emergency Relief Warehouses in Grand Bahama for the Northern Bahamas, New Providence for the Central Bahamas, and Great Inagua for the Southern Bahamas to be readily available for use in those areas, as necessary.
“Again the National Emergency Management Agency is pleased to see this programme successfully executed,” said Director of NEMA Captain Stephen Russell.
The programme commenced in April 2016 with the signing of a Grant Agreement, the formation of a local committee for the product selection and specifications, the tendering process and production of goods in Japan, and the eventual shipping to The Bahamas. This also included the support of two local companies –Five Stars Brokers and Four K’s Cargo — in clearing the shipment and delivering them to NEMA on Gladstone Road.
“The equipment and training should tremendously enhance the country’s disaster preparedness and response mechanism, particularly in the areas of inter-island communication, logistics and transportation,” said Captain Russell.

And after a chance encounter in Manhattan over the summer, romance might be closer than Isla imagined. But as they begin their senior year back in France, Isla and Josh are forced to confront the challenges every young couple must face, including family drama, uncertainty about their college futures, and the very real possibility of being apart.
Featuring cameos from fan-favorites Anna, Étienne, Lola, and Cricket, this sweet and sexy story of true love—set against the stunning backdrops of New York City, Paris, and Barcelona—is a swoonworthy conclusion to Stephanie Perkins’s beloved series.
Isla is Stephanie Perkin's third book that proves her to be a master of not only romance, but storytelling. I was first introduced (and convinced) to read her first book, Anna and the French Kiss, when I began blogging three years ago (in 2011!) and I've been a devoted fan ever since then! I was looking forward to Isla because although she only had a small role to play in Anna, I knew this last book in this collection was going to be incredible.
- Books with a feeling of nostalgia:
Very few books leave me with such a strong nostalgic feeling. But Stephanie has this way of writing that makes her readers intensely feel the same emotional roller coaster as her characters. Her books perfectly capture many of the feelings and experiences I had as a teenager, and I love that. I found it was particularly strong in Isla because Isla's awkward moments and intense relationship with Josh were so familiar to me.
- Romantic longing:
One of my favourite feelings in the world is that period when you first realize you have a crush on someone... and then it starts to move in the right direction! It is this crazy, wild adrenaline rush and that is exactly what Isla (and Josh) experience in this book. Isla has pined for Josh for years, and we get to read about how she first approaches Josh and their friendship develops from there. But it's that rising anticipation throughout the book that kept me hooked!
- Revisit some of our other favourite Perkins' couples:
I love how Stephanie includes little cameos of characters she's written about in previous books. It's so fun to get to see glimpses of how their lives turned out, and I think that this is especially true in Isla and the Happily Ever After. Because this book is the end of this three-book collection, it seems like so much more than just the potential of a "happily ever after" for Isla - it's as if it's the happily ever after for Anna, Lola, and even for us as readers.
I can't sing the praises of this book enough. Isla and Josh are adorable. They're also flawed, and kind of stupid at times. Which is fine, because I've done silly things as well. I truly wish I could crawl inside the pages of this book and live in Paris with Anna and Isla and do my makeup and get dressed up with Lola. Because we would be best friends, even if they are fictional.

- "In a quantum computer, the fundamental unit of information (called a quantum bit or qubit), is not binary but rather more quaternary in nature. This qubit property arises as a direct consequence of its adherence to the laws of quantum mechanics which differ radically from the laws of classical physics. A qubit can exist not only in a state corresponding to the logical state 0 or 1 as in a classical bit, but also in states corresponding to a blend or superposition of these classical states. In other words, a qubit can exist as a zero, a one, or simultaneously as both 0 and 1, with a numerical coefficient representing the probability for each state. This may seem counterintuitive because everyday phenomenon are governed by classical physics, not quantum mechanics -- which takes over at the atomic level." - http://www.cs.caltech.edu/~westside/quantum-intro.html
What makes computing with qubits so interesting is that when you have 2 qubits in one entangled system, there are 4 possible simultaneous states (8 for 3, etc.) and performing a binary operation on a superposed state (such as the state with all combinations having equal wieght) is equivaluent to performing the operation simultaneously on each of those states, this performing 2^n computations at once. The trick is coming up with quantum algorithms that produce a useful answer when a single random one of the possible binary number outputs is read out at the end.
- If "Computable" means "Doable on a TuringMachine," and if it turns out that you can't simulate QuantumComputing on a TuringMachine, then QuantumComputing is... well, uncomputable. That would be fun.
Yes, that would be fun. Unfortunately, we already know that we can simulate QuantumComputing
on a TuringMachine
. It might not be possible efficiently, but it is possible to do it slowly. There are actually already programs which simulate QuantumComputing
. See http://rugth30.phys.rug.nl/compphys0/qce.htm
, but I did not take a look at it.
But why would one not be able to simulate QC on a Turing Machine? A quick search finds:
- Quantum Computing Reports on Progress in Physics, vol 61, pp 117-173 (1998)
- A. M. Steane
Which states that
- ...we know that classical computers can simulate, by their computations, the evolution of any quantum system . . . with one reservation: no classical process will allow one to prepare separated systems whose correlations break the Bell inequality. It appears from this that the EPR-Bell correlations are the quintessential quantum-mechanical property (Feynman 1982).
So, a problem that could only be solved using non-locality would satisfy our need for something computable, but not Turing computable.
It seems as if, so far, what quantum computers do is, mostly, tame certain problems for which no efficient classical solution is known. However, While Shor's factoring algorithm for quantum computers is impressive, factorization is probably not an NP-hard problem. There are currently no known quantum algorithms that can solve NP-complete problems in polynomial time. There's a little more discussion over in NpComplete
Quantum computing could be used to implement a CellularAutomaton
"One way to make the cells would be using structures called quantum-dots, which are also know as 'artificial atoms'. A simulation showing how the cellular architecture works is available .." as applet on
And for an example that does some arithmetic:
context see: http://elais.physics.ox.ac.uk/SimonB/adder/implement.html
This looks like it might be quite interesting. Needs some more context, though. Preferably in the form of text on a Wiki page.Possibly not this one.
I'm seeing "Server not found" for http://cm-th.physics.ox.ac.uk . Is that server no longer in commission, or is my DNS lookup misbehaving?
can solve factoring routinely this will cause problems for many trusted software and networking encryption schemes which rely on the fact that large numbers cannot be factored easily.
However, the same technology can provide new encryption schemes which will let the communicating parties know if any bits have been intercepted. Thus, we won't all suddenly have no information security.
Encryption will be broken in two ways. First, if the first quantum computers are hyper-expensive (as most breakthrough tech is), then we'll have a time that only large governments and corporations will have quantum computers. Secondly, once everybody has quantum computers, they won't be able to break encryption on live data streams, but any encrypted data they retrieved previously in the old classic computing days would suddenly be crackable.
[From the interviews I've read, large search-space computations will generally take a square root as much space and time as they would on a regular machine. That is, the 2^N computations is an ideal case that simply doesn't apply to most quantum algorithms. A square root corresponds to halving the number of bits in your encryption key. This is a major hit, granted, but one that can be tackled by using bigger keys.]

Montreal is a culinary mecca and has a huge variety of food options, from diners and fast food to low-cost ethnic restaurants to haute cuisine. The city was recently ranked 2nd best dining city in North America after San Francisco and ahead of New York. The large local Jewish population has contributed local specialties including huge smoked meat sandwiches (beef brisket) (Schwartz's is undisputably the most authentic smoked meat restaurant) and small, crusty bagels (the undisputed classic bagel places are St-Viateur's and Fairmount Bagels). Other specialties are "all-dressed" pizza (pepperoni, mushrooms and green peppers), pizza and spaghetti with smoked meat, and Quebecois favorites like split pea soup and poutine.
Many Montreal restaurants are "apportez votre vin" (bring your (own) wine). This may sound like a hassle, but you end up paying much less for wine with dinner if you bring it yourself. There's usually a SAQ (government liquor store) or a dépanneur (convenience store, with a limited selection of typically inexpensive wine) nearby; ask your waiter. Your waiter will open your wine for you; corkage fees are rare, but don't forget to factor this service into your tip.
If you are driving from the United States, you may find Canadian liquor prices quite frightening. Even the duty free shops along the border are rarely cheaper than an American liquor store (although these are still cheaper than the SAQ). Visitors can bring in 1l of hard alcohol, 1.5l of wine, or a 24 pack of beer.
Separate bills (l'addition in French) are common and you may be asked ensemble ou séparément? (together or separately?) The standard tip for acceptable restaurant service is 15% and is not included.
Never call a waiter "garçon"! Use "monsieur" or "madame".
Special travel tip:
No visit to Montreal is complete without at least one plate of poutine (possibly from a French word meaning "mess"). This unique dish is a plate of French fries drowned in gravy and topped with chewy curds of white cheddar. There are variations on the theme — adding chicken, beef, vegetables, or sausage, or replacing the gravy with tomato sauce (poutine italienne). Every Montrealer has their favourite poutine restaurant where you can get "the real stuff" but La Banquise, on the Plateau at 994 rue Rachel est, usually tops the list.

You might be reading this because you’re concerned that you or someone you know is depressed and are looking for a depression test in order to find out. Hopefully we’ll give you a better idea of how to test for depression.
Unlike physical health, mental health problems can be tricky to diagnose and test for. This is because for most mental health problems such as depression it isn’t possible to do any physical tests that your doctor might usually do to diagnose problems – such as a blood tests.
This means that tests your doctor or therapist might do for depression or anxiety problems often focus on two key and broad areas:
1) How you think and feel
2) What you do (or what things others can observe you doing.)
So whilst there isn’t a depression test in the sense of physical exams, your doctor can ask you very specific questions around the areas above. The reason is, that although everyone is different, there are particular types of answers that are common to most people with depression, which they will be on the look out for.
For example people will often say that they experience more negative thinking when they are depressed, such as negative thoughts about the future, or of death or dying. Typical things that might change in what you do if you are depressed are withdrawing from relationships with people around you, or increase your alcohol intake. Whilst these don’t apply to everyone there are specific areas that are useful to explore for you.
In order to get a clearer picture you might also be asked to complete a questionnaire that acts as a but like a depression and anxiety symptom checker. The one on our site is a commonly used questionnaire which can give an indication of the levels of symptoms of depression or anxiety that you might be experiencing.
Whilst these types of tools, information and depression tests online can be helpful, there is no substitute for getting proper professional assessment and help when you need it. In many cases the types of symptoms that a depression test looks for can be shared with other types of mental health problems and so one test alone might not give you the fullest picture of problems you are experiencing, which could mean that you don’t access the best resources available.
Whilst it can be tempting to look at lots of websites, test and treatment manuals online, we would encourage you to balance your instincts and the advice of those around you more than online materials. If you believe that something isn’t right in your mood, that you are noticing depression symptoms or others are commenting that you have changed – seek help from a professional as soon as possible.

Autographed baseballs, move over.
The humdrum stapler is in the spotlight now thanks to an online charity auction by Staples Inc.
The office products retailer rounded up staplers autographed by Bill Gates, Kobe Bryant and more than 120 other celebrities and will sell them to raise money for charity.
The highest bid so far is for Paris Hilton's stapler. As of Sunday, 53 offers had been made, opening at $40 and escalating to $1,005.
Many shoppers also want to affix themselves to Donald Trump's stapler, which has appreciated to $755.
The event, which kicked off Nov. 17 with a museum-style display at Staples Center in Los Angeles, ends Dec. 6.
Bids are at $130 for the staplers of "Apprentice" winner and Chicagoan Bill Rancic and former Chicago Bulls coach Phil Jackson. The stapler of Sears, Roebuck and Co. pitchman Ty Pennington is valued at $280.
Demand is most tepid for Today show tech editor Corey Greenberg's Swingline, with only one $20 bid.
Early doorbusters: When it's not procuring staplers from Tiger Woods, Meryl Streep and Katie Couric, Staples is after shoppers for leather office chairs.
"Staples is advertising theirs for $39.94, $90 below regular price," Richard Hastings, analyst for Bernard Sands, noted Friday. "OfficeMax has one at $19.99 after rebates, down from an original price of $99.99."
At Home Depot Inc., "unbelievable deals" included a $9.99 Ryobi drill.
"It fires up the imagination, wondering how anybody can make something that good and sell it for less than ten bucks," he said.
2004's all-purpose gift: Observing stores and parking lots Friday, Customer Growth Partners is convinced that holiday sales will rise at least 6.1 percent, the biggest spurt since 1999.
And electronics is the new apparel.
"By the late 1990s, electronics had become the largest gift in dollar terms--although clothing remained first" in terms of the number of units bought, Customer President Craig Johnson said.
But "electronics will this year be both the unit and dollar top sellers of the 2004 holidays," he said.
New math: Kmart Holding Corp. Chief Executive Officer Aylwin Lewis has been ribbed for his twice-uttered Nov. 17 comment that the planned merger of his retailer and Sears is a case of "one plus one equals two."
"That's not really the math Wall Street is looking for," U.S. News & World Report wisecracked.
The cliche is actually "one plus one equals three," and Sears is trying to get the appropriate bromide on the record.
"As Aylwin Lewis said," Sears CEO Alan Lacy recounted in a Nov. 19 letter to workers, "one plus one will add up to three."
The deal between Sears and Kmart, whose chairman is hedge fund manager Edward Lampert, was announced only 12 days after Vornado Realty Trust disclosed a 4 percent Sears stake. Lampert has long owned about 15 percent of Sears.
"We presume Sears decided to go with the devil they know [Lampert] rather than risk ending up with the devil they don't know [Vornado]," bond researcher Gimme Credit Publications Inc. says.

FRISCO, Texas – With the 2018 NFL Draft being held on the Dallas Cowboys home turf at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas from April 26-28, big changes have to happen after the Cowboys unfulfilled 9-7 season. This years NFL Draft will be the 83rd and the first to take place in a NFL stadium. Dallas has the 19th pick in the first round.
Cowboys need to succeed:
Wide Receiver: The Cowboys are in desperate need of an impact wide receiver. They need a playmaker to regain the passing game. During the 2017 season, the Cowboys had to rely on the running game because the connections made between Quarterback Dak Prescott and his receivers were few. Prescott either over-threw or under-threw the receivers, or Dez Bryant, Cole Beasley, Terrance Williams, or Brice Butler would drop the catch on a critical play. There was incompletion after incompletion, and the Cowboys need a receiver to step up and make plays to improve our offense and get it back in its rhythm. Our offense went from being ranked one of the top in 2016, to being ranked 14th this year and this is why. Not even necessarily a wide receiver, but even a talented pass-catch tight end would make a difference in the offensive line. Jason Witten is one of the oldest and most knowledgeable in the league, but he becomes a free agent in 2022 and doesn’t have many years left before he retires.
Tackle and Linebacker :
The Cowboys need more depth at these positions. When, left tackle Tyron Smith became injured and missed several games due to hip, groin, and knee injuries, Chaz Green and Byron Bell were not decent replacements for the Pro-Bowler. Chaz Green allowed QB Dak Prescott to be sacked 7 times in one game against the Falcons, and Byron Bell accumulated holding penalties that hurt the Cowboys on big plays, losing yardage when called back. When linebacker Sean Lee missed games due to his hamstring injury, Anthony Hitchens was no match for Lee’s instant impact and commitment on and off the field and in the locker-room. These two players are difference makers that have earned the star on their helmets. The Cowboys have to find suitable replacements for them when this happens again.
Those positions need to be given top priority in the draft to upgrading the Cowboys’ offense and defense going into the 2018 season. After the first few rounds the Cowboys also need a defensive back to secure the backfield because safety Byron Jones has struggled this year with unnecessary penalties and getting beat to the football. Once these changes are made, “America’s Team” has a better chance of attaining their goal of playoff appearances and a trip to Super Bowl 53 next season.

We first spotted the curved Samsung S9C OLED TV at CES back in January, but Samsung has been toting it around IFA this week in readiness for it hitting the shelves at John Lewis
The 55-inch curved S9C OLED TV from Samsung is the type of kit that no self-respecting man cave should be without.
Despite unveiling it back at CES, Sammy has been busy showing it off at IFA this year to remind us all that it goes on sale exclusively at John Lewis today for a trifling £6,999.
Handing over that pocket change will get you an Ultra HD display with Active 3D and all the smart functionality we've come to expect from your average 21st century telly.
There's also an excellent feature called Samsung Multi-View that uses the Active 3D technology to simultaneously display two different transmissions on the one screen.
The division is made by the 3D specs that come bundled with the screen and a small button on the side of the glasses toggles which transmission you view. Essentially meaning you can watch the football while your partner catches up on Strictly in the same room.
The 3D glasses also have surround-sound speakers built into earbuds that give you the different audio channels.
Picture-wise, the OLED screen does away with the backlighting necessary in standard LED displays and results in a better contrast ratio - particularly when displaying darker colours.
The S9C OLED TV incorporates a quad-core processor that powers the smart functions and also features gesture control and video calling through a camera built into the top of the frame.
Samsung has also been showing off its larger displays with both 110-inch and 98-inch Ultra HD (4K) TVs on show at the IFA 2013 event. We've no word on availability and prices yet but, judging from the S9C, it won't be cheap.
Check out our exclusive video of Samsung's new TV's from the IFA 2013 showroom floor below.

Between what I’ve been and what I’m becoming.
It’s a funny, awkward kind of place. A place of unknown. A place of just not sure, unfamiliar. Very unfamiliar.
Before I turned back to what was known, comfortable and it was like that door was open still to turn to and now- I’m not even turning around to look for it. Even if I did, I don’t think the door would even be there
Because it’s not where I want to be.
So I’m in the hallway. Stalling. Turning, turning, trying to know- but I don’t! Maybe I’m just to stand to wait in the hall for Him. God; to come to take me by the hand and lead me.
So tempted to move forward and find my own way because this place of waiting is so awkward and unsettling.
As others pass by, going in and out of doors, laughing, eating, playing and working. While I just stand here, knowing nothing. And no one even acknowledges me there. They are busy coming and going.
I longing look to them to tell me something. Something that validates this place I’m in or to take me with them. It’s like I’m invisible to them. Is this You, God? Did you bring me here?
It feels like You because if I get quiet enough, I hear the stillness in my soul saying,
“Stay”. “Just stay. Breathe. Stay. Taste the beauty. Taste the quiet. Taste what it’s like not to wander and move or run and wonder. Just stay.”
“Taste life without the struggle-like Jacob. He had to wrestle with Me to stop running, planning, conniving.”
So I wrestle. To stay. Just stay.

Here’s the latest news from the Capitol:
A special session was called last week to finish the work of passing a state budget. After a rocky process with little transparency even for rank-and-file legislators, we passed a state budget. I was incredibly disappointed in the process used to decide what made it into each bill, consisting of a “tribunal” made up of the Governor, House Speaker Hortman, and Senate Majority Leader Gazelka.
The majority of the controversial provisions that initially passed the House were eliminated from the budget bills. In particular, the $0.20 per gallon gas tax, many fees on transportation expenses and outdoor recreation activities, the $68 million cut to Minnesota nursing homes, and numerous controversial election policies were removed from the bills.
Included in the bills were an extension of the reinsurance program, which was a Republican initiative that became a national model to hold down health care costs, reversal of the 7% cut to the Disability Waiver Rate System, and a Wage Theft provision that earned the support of all stakeholders instead of the controversial version that passed in the initial Jobs and Energy bill. Unfortunately, Democrats held strong on increasing the price of doctor visits, hospital stays, and medical procedures by bringing back the Sick Tax at 1.8%.
I will be at the Capitol again in June for an LCCMR meeting to consider projects to fund for next year’s LCCMR bill. LCCMR is the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources. The LCCMR’s purpose is to make recommendations to the legislature for environment and natural resource projects mainly funded out of the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund.
It’s an honor to be your voice at the Capitol. Have a wonderful weekend!
