Graphene: the good, the bad, the nano & the pseudo
Graphene is probably the most fascinating material ever discovered, but it has some drawbacks: it is not superconducting, it does not exhibit the quantum spin Hall effect, and its magnetic properties are controversial. The interesting electronic properties of graphene, such as the presence of charge carriers that behave as if they would have no mass, are rooted on the honeycomb lattice of the carbon atoms. This insight provides a unique opportunity: by creating honeycomb lattices of materials other than carbon, the effects conferred by the atoms can be combined with those conferred by the honeycomb lattice and novel materials, with unexpected properties, may emerge. A key question in this regard is: if we build a honeycomb lattice of semiconducting nanocrystals, is it going to behave like graphene or like the semiconducting building blocks?
In the first part of the talk, I will show that these systems, which have been experimentally synthesized recently , combine the best of the two materials. Honeycomb lattices of semiconducting nanocrystals

Can you freeze Swiss Chard? Does it lose nutritional value?
Yes, you can freeze Swiss Chard. Cut off stems, rinse, blanch them, cool in water bath, and then store in freezer Ziploc bag. (To blanch, bring pot of water to boil and submerge greens for 2-3 minutes.) Freezing does not cause a loss of nutrients and in fact is a great way to preserve their nutrition.

FREEMONT — The EF-2 tornado that ripped through southern McCracken County on Friday, March 3 measured nearly two football fields wide and featured winds of up to 125 miles per hour, according to official estimates.
Despite its size and the 68 houses damaged — some of them destroyed — no one reported injuries.
That, according to Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, was nothing short of “a miracle.”
Beshear visited Freemont on Sunday afternoon, March 5, surveying the damage and speaking with survivors of the storm. He called it “really incredible, that everybody here and most families we’ve gotten to talk to are safe, even though they’ve got a lot of rebuilding to come.”
A large portion of Kentucky suffered severe weather on Friday, taxing public resources and utilities. Beshear said Sunday that more than 207,000 people had remained without power, and called the restoration of electricity “a multi-day effort.”
Despite the lack of death or injuries, Beshear acknowledged the stress such a tragedy could take on people, and urged residents to call the state disaster distress helpline at (800) 985-5990.
“It’s OK to not be OK. There’s a lot of trauma that comes with an EF-2 tornado,” he said. “Sometimes this trauma is more than our minds or our bodies are meant to take.”
State and local officials also spoke at a news conference Sunday.
Kentucky Emergency Management Director Col. Jeremy Slinker praised the “extraordinary response” from various agencies, and promised the state would work “in lockstep” with local officials to determine the strategy for recovery and what assistance to request from FEMA.
“I was going to say ‘and help your neighbor,’ but I don’t think I have to say that after walking around here,” Slinker said.
Beshear said public FEMA assistance would be available for clearing roads and utility work, but it hadn’t yet been determined if the disaster met the requirements for individual assistance.
Beshear said in the wake of the Dec. 10, 2021 tornado outbreak, insurance companies responded well to claims, and he expected a similar outcome to Friday’s devastation.
McCracken County Judge-Executive Craig Clymer thanked Beshear for his support, and promised residents that help was on its way, urging people not to put themselves in danger by trying to do work they were ill-equipped or trained to do.
“I would recommend to the folks that, if you’ve not ever run a chainsaw, don’t run to the store and get one and try to learn,” Clymer said.
“Don’t put yourself in harm’s way. We’ll help you to take care of that.”
Beshear praised the “closely knit community” and the efforts of not just public and utility workers, but volunteer efforts by friends and neighbors.
“From what I’ve seen, no one feels alone,” he said.
“Everybody I’ve talked to plans on building back.”

Dear Friends and Family,
We made it to 2020, and, wow, what a crazy beginning we have had! But there are still many things for which to be thankful. I am happy to say that 2019 was a GREAT year health-wise, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds. Towards the end of 2019, I was approved for the newest drug designed to treat the underlying symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis, Trikafta!! I was not sure what to expect because while the other drugs I was taking in the past did help, I was not showing a significant improvement like I had hoped and that researchers and doctors had described. Hey, it just was not the right fit for me. I am just thankful I never got worse! I just simply maintained the same lung function and weight for a while, and I was content with that.
Finally, on December 2, 2019, I was mailed my first 3 months of Trikafta! All I heard was amazing things so I was super anxious to start it and see how it would affect my body. I noticed a difference right away! I was breathing in a way I never thought I would! I was barely tired, staying up past 9 PM multiple nights in a row, and what I felt was indescribable. On February 20, 2020, I had my first Hopkins’ appointment since starting Trikafta, and boy, was I nervous to see the results! Would they match how I felt….AND THEY DID! My lung function increased by 15%, and I gained about 3 pounds!!! This truly is a miracle drug, and I am so thankful my CF mutation was approved for it.
These days I am going strong, working every day, social distancing with my friends/family when I can and giving my puppy lots of exercise because I feel so good! God is truly a Miracle Worker! At 25 years old, I cannot believe I am able to experience life like I never thought I would! The results are mind-blowing!
The threat of coronavirus has changed the way we do things in so many ways. So with that being said, the 2020 CF Great Strides walk in Annapolis is cancelled, but we are still trying to raise money for research. If you feel it in your heart to still give at this time, any amount is appreciated because while I feel amazing, we still need to find a cure for CF that includes all mutations! We are so close to having CF stand for Cure Found!
Thank you for your continued support of Jillian’s Jaywalkers for all these years! Stay safe, and I hope to see you soon!
With a Grateful Heart,

Dear spiritual being having a human experience,
You’re sensitive, you feel things deeply, you care deeply, don’t you?
You want to heal the world. It hurts being here, feeling all the pain & dysfunction. Especially now.
It’s been too much lately. Too many things have happened and you feel you’ve lost yourself. You’re not who you used to be. You’re irritable with those you love most and put on a protective mask with those you don’t know. You don’t feel connected. This isn’t you.
The more you fight it and “should yourself” into being “tougher” or “stronger” or “sucking it up” the worse it gets. Anxiety becomes the norm. Situational depression shows up. You start to wonder “Is there something wrong with me?”
You know this isn’t how you want to move forward. This isn’t how you want your life to go. You have dreams! You want to feel confident and peaceful in pursuing them. You want to feel like yourself again and be in your flow. The one that tastes so good because you feel free, vibrant and alive! That’s what your spirit is yearning for.
Therapy doesn’t seem like it’s just right – after all… you’re okay… just feeling OFF & you’re yearning for that spiritual connection… that ability to hear your heart, that ability to tap into your subconscious, to hear your own emotions, your own intuition, to reconnect with your inherent wisdom. You wonder if anyone can really get it…
I’ve been there.
There was a time where I felt completely disconnected. Not only from myself, but from people around me. I didn’t feel like I fit in, I was a wandering brain whose emotions would sometimes take over (and upset the brain). My brain was waging a war against my feelings and my feelings were waging a war against my brain. I knew deep down this wasn’t how I wanted to live. It wasn’t conscious, but there was a powerful subconscious current pulling me towards finding the tools to reconnecting with myself. Luckily, I was open enough to let it guide me.
I’ve learned to listen, to connect with myself in ways that I didn’t dream were possible. It wasn’t easy for me. There was a lot of resistance to work through. I’m grateful for that, because it helps me pinpoint for others what’s stuck, what needs adjustment so that they too can hear their inner wisdom, connect with themselves and live from their essence. I know that if what I wrote above resonates with you, I can help you do the same. I can help you feel deeply grounded in yourself, relaxed, in your flow & in touch with your essence in a mere five weeks.
You crave to connect with your true self & live from your essence?
but you find it hard to listen to your heart & intuition?
the Connect to Essence Program is for you.
The Basic Connect to Essence Program
The basic Program is 5 sessions of 90 minutes.
We use the patterns and difficulties in your life to undo some old conditioning & rewire you for more you to emerge.
In each of the 5 weekly 90-min sessions,
1. I’ll help you ease and relax the parts within you that are stuck.
Using a meditative technique, I’ll guide you in a gentle conversation with the parts of you that are stuck. We will create an inner environment of kindness & explore what’s keeping these parts of you stuck, what they want from you and what they need to return to flow.
2. I’ll help balance your energy with Reiki.
Using Reiki, I will facilitate an energy exchange between you and the universe that will allow your energy to balance itself. Your chakras will balance. Your energy will release what it no longer needs to hold on to. This is typically a deeply relaxing experience and really helps to reestablish flow in places where stuck energy has accumulated.
3. Keep the healing going at home with homework based on my expertise in chakra balancing.
I will translate where you’re stuck in chakra terms, which will help for you to work on that chakra in other ways to help you stay unstuck. By the end, we’ve rewired some key elements in your relationship with yourself & we’ve tuned your energy system for balance, and you’re glowing with a greater acceptance of yourself.
For a limited time, a special version of this package is available.
Winter can be hard and cold and dreary. Let’s get you connecting to your essence so that you can emerge & flourish come spring time.
The (Extra Special) Winter Time Reconnection Program:
The basic Connect to Essence program ( 5 x 90 min sessions)
+ A personalized guided meditation to help you settle deeper into yourself
+ A possibility to extend the program from a 5-week program to a 8-week program for a reduced price.
+ A workshop to come together in community, learn crucial skills & start it all off on Saturday, March 11th.
+ Personalized e-mail support in between sessions (if the need arises)
Only 6 spots available. Online or in person.
Until Tuesday, March 6th, your investment program is:
An initial investment of $325 + 2 x $200 (Payable at your 1st session and at your 3rd session).
What my clients say
- “ I was able to reconnect with myself and life. I rediscovered a new sense of hope and optimism.”
- “Impacted my life tremendously”
“Meeting Inge has been an incredible journey! And with every session we made space for peace and joy to come back into my life. The whole process has been an amazing experience, revealing things about myself, that gave me now a new set of “tools” to transform myself and live my life.”
“Inge’s energy is so warm & supportive like a long-lost best friend… she made the experience SO EASY and fun even! I didn’t know it was possible to laugh and have a good time doing energy work, but my time with Inge was ALL THE THINGS! Haha!”
What happens if this isn’t for me after all?
If at the end of this first session you decide this really isn’t for you, you can ask for a refund and pay only for the first session ($175). I’m not expecting this to happen, but if you feel this isn’t a good fit after all, the last thing I want is for you to feel trapped. You can walk away, no harm done.
After this moment, though, I ask for your full commitment.
Because this can sometimes be uncomfortable – things come up and can be hard to handle… and you might have the urge to sweep things under the rug… I’m going to ask you STICK with the process. If we’re doing this right, there are times where you’re not going to like this process (or me for that matter).
That’s why I don’t offer a money back guarantee. Once you’re in, you’re in.
I do guarantee, however, that I will stay with you in the session until you are feeling strong enough to face the world. I will NEVER stop the session if you’re in dire straits.
I will do my absolute best to support you. I will offer 30 minute (free) coaching sessions in between in-person sessions if that is necessary as well.
I’m not saying this to scare you, but strong reactions CAN happen and if they do, I’m here. All in with you. 🙂
The packages must be used up in the period of 1 year – after which I cannot guarantee your sessions.
If you, for one reason or another, are hospitalized, move away or must discontinue the sessions for a reason you cannot be physically present, the remainder of the package will be refunded.
(This will be calculated as Price of Package – (Sessions Used * Regular Price) = Refund)
When you decide, this will happen:
When you Click this link or any of the buttons on this page, you’ll be taken to my scheduling system and you’ll be asked to make your first payment of $325. You will schedule your first appointment. Please choose something in the week following March 11th.
On March 11th, we will meet from 1pm – 4pm for a 3h workshop to kickstart your process to connect with your essence.
If at the end of your first session, you decide it’s not for you, you will be reimbursed $325 – $175 = $150. The last thing I want is for you to feel trapped.
If it’s a go, at the end of our session, we will book the other 4 appointments.
There are only 6 spots for this special program. If you wish to do them online, that can be arranged. Please let me know.
This offer closes Tuesday, March 7 at 11:59pm.
Time for a decision.
Now that you’ve read about how I can help you, make a little assessment.
How much is it costing you to stay disconnected (and sort of stuck) right now?
That creative idea, that decision you’ve been on the fence about for way too long, that burning desire to change jobs or to ask for a raise…
What is this disconnection costing you financially? Are you passing up the opportunities of your dreams, because you can’t feel into it properly?
What about in your relationships? Can you connect when you can’t feel yourself? Are you hiding in those relationships?
What about you not leaving your dysfunctional relationship?
Is it costing you anything in terms of your health?
(Stuck emotion has a tendency to manifest physically after a long period of time…I think you intuitively know this…).
Does what I describe sound like it will help you?
Trust your gut. Trust your intuition. It’s SO important in all the decisions we make in life. If it’s a “… No… this doesn’t feel quite right…” TRUST THAT. If it’s a “I’m scared… but this feels really right… and it’s weird, but it also makes a lot of sense. I’m fed up of being stuck”, trust that also. And if it’s a “I don’t know, but tell me more”, great! Just set up a discovery call. We’ll talk it out.

On the verge of the end of Rio +20 and the passage of the federal budget bill (C-38), I felt it worthwhile to do some math. Rio +20 is intended to move “sustainable development” into 2012 and beyond. Yet, Canada has just referred its sweeping budget bill, which revamps our federal environmental laws, to the Standing Senate Committee on National Finance. The drafters of the Bill, it appears, had Cher’s “If I could turn back time” blaring in the background; to a time when approaches to environmental management and understanding of species habitat requirements were rudimentary at best; to a time when our Constitution was enacted, 1867.
The Environmental Law Centre (ELC) has been seeking strong and effective environmental laws since it was founded in 1982. The ELC is dedicated to providing credible, comprehensive and objective legal information regarding natural resources, energy and environmental law, policy and regulation in Alberta. The ELC’s mission is to educate and champion for strong laws and rights so all Albertans can enjoy clean water, clean air and a healthy environment. Our vision is a society where laws secure an environment that sustains current and future generations.
As a charity, the Environmental Law Centre depends on your financial support. Help us to continue to educate and champion for strong environmental laws, through tools such as our blog and all of our other resources, so that all Albertans can enjoy a healthy environment.

Indian firms’ stake in UAE seen at $52bn
Dubai, August 21, 2013
India has been ranked among the top investors in the UAE with around 26,500 companies from the subcontinent investing as much as $52 billion in the Emirates, a top official said.
"Our estimates show India's investment in the UAE could be around $52 billion, excluding companies based in free zones in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other emirates,” Paras Shahdadpuri, president of the Indian Business and Professional Council (IBPC) in Dubai was quoted as saying in a report in Emirates 24-7.
"As for the UAE investments in India, they are estimated at $15 billion," he told Dubai-based Arabic language daily Al Bayan, according to the report.
Trade between the two countries reached a record high of $75 billion during 2012-2013, as against $43 billion in the fiscal year 2009-2010, the report quoted Shahdadpuri as saying.
UAE’s real GDP should grow between 5 and 7 per cent in 2013-2014, according to Shahdadpuri.


According to MDAD head for operations Procopio Lipana, these cases will be endorsed to the Department of Agriculture (DA) for proper investigation as the city has no jurisdiction over the traders where the market vendors get their goods.
“The usual reasoning of vendors is they get their inventory at high prices from traders. But we need to cooperate with the DA to go after wholesalers (charging high prices), especially those the operate in Quezon City,” explained Lipana in Filipino.
The MDAD will also forward the receipts of transactions between the market vendors and these traders to the DA as additional evidence, if needed.
He added that the DA may also use the reports submitted by MDAD in analyzing and formulating an acceptable suggested retail price (SRP) for all stakeholders.
As ordered by Mayor Joy Belmonte, the MDAD is conducting daily monitoring of prices in markets all over the city to ensure that vendors are not charging beyond the suggested retail price (SRP) issued by the government.
Aside from the usual monitoring of prices, Lipana said MDAD also checks and confiscates unsealed or uncalibrated weighing scales.
Furthermore, the DA and Departments of Trade and Industry (DTI), Metro Manila chief executives, and MM Development Authority (MMDA) officials forged an agreement to impose stricter measures to ease the rising prices of basic food commodities, particularly pork and vegetables sold in public markets in the metropolis.
“We agreed on several strategies to bring down the prices of basic food items sold in Metro Manila public markets,” said Agriculture Secretary William Dar during a virtual meeting with DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez, MMDA Chairman Benhur Abalos, and several Metro Manila mayors held on January 21, 2021.
“First, we will strengthen the local price coordinating councils (LPCCs) for them to clamp down on wholesalers, traders, and retailers, who unreasonably jack up prices and take advantage of the current tight supply situation in pork and vegetables,” added the DA chief.
“Second, from hereon we will require them to register so we will know who they are, and thereafter monitor them regularly,” he added.
These twin measures will be done under the leadership of the respective mayors and market supervisors, in coordination with the DA and DTI, Dar said.
For his part, Lopez said: “We at the DTI are also here to give support on the tasks given us, such as in price monitoring. We hope that we can come up with a clear price list and corresponding price control, for the guidance and compliance of traders and retailers. Further, it is an important thing to have a list of participants in the value chain.”
On the other hand, Abalos, addressing the Metro Manila Mayors, said: “We are here to listen to secretaries Dar and Lopez to find ways to help the government.”
“We at the MMDA and the Metro Manila Mayors will help in elevating the price monitoring, enforcement, and adjudication process,” the MMDA chief said.


How to Update Your Router: The Ultimate Guide
They lack in terms of upgradations of features, difficulty to backup data from the system, high maintenance cost, etc. Firmware is considered to be a mix of hardware and software. It is better to say that it is the embedded software within hardware that allows said hardware to communicate and function properly. These are advertising programs that come with free applications, to help the application maker to earn some money.
- Fedor Kozhevnikov created a notable early mod he called TomatoUSB, which ceased development in November 2010.
- All other modems connected to the ISP won’t be updated.
- What exactly do you want by asking about firmwares?
Then let go and allow your Mac to continue starting normally. In these cases where you still have admin access to the Mac, you can use the firmwarepasswd app to change or disable the password using Terminal. The machine will now boot with a cleared password and reset PRAM/NVRAM. Sorry that you had to scroll this far to get to the point of this article. With all the talk about how the firmware password option was removed from M1 Mac Devices, I wanted to explore a little history first. You can now remove the firmware password (+ erase all data) on a T2 Mac without Apple Support if you forgot it.
How to Reset Firmware Password
Got to this discussion from website where I was checking serial number on Macbook Pro on eBay. Folks at the website sell a little USB device with LED display that they say reveals the firmware password on boot. I reboot into Windows 10 Pro via Boot Camp as I always did.
Once connected, iPhone will prompt an alert; Simply tap Trust on your screen. Connect the device to the computer using USB cable and click “Next”. If your device can not be detected, follow the instruction to put your device into DFU mode or Recovery mode.
Step 3: Extract the Target Plist
Network tools similar to “Storm Control” and others, enable multicast to be restricted and therefore Bonjour. So-called Powerline/PowerLAN adapters also prohibit Bonjour or do not permit it. These access factors aren’t suitable for the utilization of HomeKit-based WiFi units.
If this concerns you, you might consider locking the system’s firmware. Remember to hold down the Option key everytime the computer boots or reboots to bypass safe mode. The key is physically still shorted at the hardware level and will affect boot. However, neither of these methods prevent someone from booting your Mac from an external drive which can allow an unknown user to reinstall firmware into your Mac and access or delete your data. Apple provides a utility for enabling the firmware password option.
Clearly apple is incentivizing you to sell on craigslist to make it someone else’s problem. So I locked my Mac after someone at my home was stealing info from it while I was out of the state. I have tried multiple times to unlock but nothing has worked. At one point I did upgrade memory for my Mac, would make me a difference?

WARREN, Mich. — Like many of its competitors, General Motors Co. (GM) has adopted infotainment and telematics as one of its technical pillars. The company is working to roll out a pair of branded infotainment hubs — MyLink for Chevrolet brands and IntelliLink for Buick and GMC brands — over the next 18 months on 18 nameplates globally. The core goal is to bring connected infotainment choices into the vehicle, accommodate customers’ cellphones by enabling them to make calls and listen to music hands free, and equip vehicles with voice recognition technology.
“Our whole purpose here is to accommodate these devices and do it as safely and securely as possible,” Kathleen McMahon, program manager of connected infotainment at General Motors, told RCR Wireless News. “What my position was created for is to provide the necessary focus to bring all the different pieces of a strategy like connected infotainment together so that the vehicles launch with all the right stuff,” she said, reflecting on her exactly one-year mark at the job during this interview. "It’s one thing in the past to just put a radio inside the vehicle but now obviously the whole point of being connected is that you have to be able to connect up to cellphones and smartphones and you have to have websites to update the vehicle and to tell the customer what phones you support,” she said. "So that’s kind of different for the automotive industry. We have some experience with that with OnStar, but still getting all those parts to come together at the same time is not a normal operation within the automotive industry.” McMahon’s job is to shepherd all of that under a more organized framework. “It isn’t the case that perhaps things were fragmented, it’s the case that is a kind of functionality that wasn’t really there before with the exception of OnStar. And in the OnStar case it’s its own business unit as part GM. So in our case we’re sort of in the mainstream vehicle operations, but we’re doing something different,” she said. "I think the whole idea of doing connected infotainment is responding to the way the market has changed so much with how people use smartphones for everything today,” McMahon added. "People are using them for everything now, as we all know… From a vehicle perspective, unfortunately people will bring the smartphones into the car and they will use them. Phones are not really designed to be used safely in a vehicle, clearly. We need to be able to give our customer a safer accommodation to use the phone. We know they’re going to use it so we what we want to do is make that an experience where they can keep their hands on the wheels and their eyes on the road. And all of the vehicle manufacturers I think are up against that knowing what people are doing anyway.” Even with a growing infotainment team and various other teams that assist on validation, IT, marketing and more, there will always be a challenge to keep up with technology outside the car. "It is difficult to keep up. Traditionally, people keep their cars a really long time. So the challenge for us is to be able to really accommodate the phone well, to have a platform inside the vehicle that is upgradeable,” she said. "Keeping up with that is really the challenge in the automotive space, but we think that we’re putting in a platform that will certainly allow us to be current for quite a few years to come.” McMahon is looking for talented people who understand wireless technology, especially understand the special needs and requirements of in-vehicle technology. “But we’re also really seeking people that are enthusiasts for the new technology, the apps, the smartphones, the wireless technology, all of those things. Because they’re the ones who are really suited to help us figure out what customers want,” she added.


The new year at the Supreme Court started the same as the last one ended: silence and anticipation. The new orders released this morning held no signs of action on NYSRPA and news that the Court did not act on the cert petitions in Guedes, which challenges the Trump Administration’s ban on bump stocks, or Worman, which challenges Massachusetts laws banning assault weapons and large-capacity magazines. It had just considered those cases for the first time at its conference last Friday.
Since it granted cert in NYSRPA, the Supreme Court has consistently held gun cases, at least those raising Second Amendment challenges. Notably, however, it denied cert in Medina, challenging the federal firearm prohibitor as applied to a man with an old, non-violent felony conviction. And now it has decided to hold (or at least not deny at the first chance), Guedes though it raises no Second Amendment challenge. Perhaps it wants to explore the administrative law questions at issue there—or maybe a denial will come soon.
This week also saw one new relevant cert petition filed—Beers v. Barr—raising an as-applied challenge to the federal law barring firearm possession for anyone who has been involuntarily committed to a mental institution. Powerhouse big law firm Sidley Austin, along with Sarah O’Rourke Schrup from the Northwestern Supreme Court practicum, represent the petitioner in the case. Given the Court’s treatment of Medina’s as-applied challenge, it may have less appetite for person-based challenges, but we will have to wait and see.

Welker’s status for preseason opener still up in the air
|08.11.10 at 12:31 pm ET|
“We’ll see how it goes yesterday and today and make a decision on that,” Belichick said during his Wednesday morning press conference prior to the third of three joint practices with the Saints. “I don’t know. I’m not saying he will. I’m not saying he won’t. We’ll evaluate it and see.”
Welker, who suffered a left knee injury in last year’s regular-season finale, has been rehabbing throughout the spring and summer in an attempt to return to the field. He says sometimes he feels himself getting better, and some days, not so much.
“Some days I do and some days I don’t,” he said. “I think as long as I’m out here and am able to make those same movements, it helps in the long run.”

michael kaganCTO of NVIDIA, recently gave an interview to Guardian in what has bubbles raised in the cryptomining sector. Kagan assured that cryptocurrencies “They don’t bring anything useful to society” and, on the contrary, wanted to increase the potential of modern artificial intelligence, such as the Open AI chatbot ‘ChatGPT’.
NVIDIA CTO attacks the crypto mining industry
The American manufacturer of processors NVIDIA, better known for produce powerful graphics cards for PC, has been battling the cryptocurrency industry for some time now. In 2021 the company reached release software that artificially restricted the ability to use graphics cards to mine cryptocurrencies ethereumand more recently your technology directorMichael Kagan, spoke to Guardian about little value he sees in cryptocurrencies in our society.
“The whole issue of encryption they needed parallel processing, and NVIDIA is the bestso people just programmed them to use them for that purpose”, Kagan commented to the newspaper about the use of cryptomining on his company’s graphics cards. To which he bluntly added: “They bought a bunch of cards and finally everything collapsed, because it does not bring anything useful to society. The AI does”.
NVIDIA was one of the most benefited companies by the cryptocurrency mining fever.
As Kagan alludes, cryptocurrency farms used thousands of NVIDIA graphics cards to mine, and the market ran out of stock quicklyhurting communities along the way players from around the world and even to professionals who needed the cards to work. O card prices have doubled during this stock market crisis, but now that the worst is over, the truth is that prices haven’t dropped back to its original state.
Kagan, actually. finds artificial intelligence technology much more interesting and believes that the processing power of AI can be very useful for society. “With ChatGPT, now everyone can create their own machine, its own program: just tell it what to do and it will do it. And if it doesn’t work out the way you want it, you say ‘I want something different'”Kagan said.
It must be remembered that precisely the first version of ChatGPT trained on a supercomputer composed of a few 10,000 NVIDIA graphics cards. “I never believed that cryptocurrencies would do something good for humanity”Kagan continues. “You know, people do crazy things, they buy your stuff, you sell them stuff. But you don’t redirect the company to endorse whatever it is”.
“I never believed that cryptocurrencies would do something good for humanity”Kogan commented.
In 2022, NVIDIA was seen forced to pay $5.5 million as part of the settlement with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) due to the fact that did not inform investors about how mining has affected demand for GPUs. According to the SEC filing and a subsequent report by the CNBC, NVIDIA was aware that cryptocurrency mining was driving part of their business and it was even alleged that senior members of the company’s board wanted to go after the cryptocurrency mining market.
a few weeks ago Microsoft bought tens of thousands of processors to NVIDIA to power the Open AI workload. At the annual conference hosted by NVIDIA recently, Jensen Huang, CEO of the company, described the company as the driving force behind AI, and said the AI his company powers “he will reinvent almost every sector”.


A couple of weeks ago, I posted an article about a United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) directive, titled UNECE R-155 "Uniform Provisions Concerning the Approval of Vehicles with Regards to Cyber Security and Cyber Security Management Systems." R-155 suggests a radical departure from how the automotive OEMs have previously done business. But it isn't the only new mandate that they will need to address; the other one is UNECE Regulation No. R-156.
As the numbering implies, R-156 is a companion piece to R-155 and it will be enforced in the same way, meaning through audited certification of compliance. The key point, and one I keep repeating because it appears that 52 countries are seriously thinking about implementing it, is that all future automotive type approvals will hinge on certified proof of compliance with both regulations. I could get sidetracked on all of the good reasons why that ought to be the case. But suffice it to say that the critical issue for U.S. automakers is, simply put, it appears that R-155 and R-156 must be complied with or you will not be able to sell your cars in the EU.
R-156 prescribes a uniform set of requirements for managing in-vehicle software updates (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2020/80). It instructs the approval authorities of the UNECE signatories to confirm the presence of a R-156 conformant software update management system (SUMS) prior to granting type approval. That applies to any vehicle requiring software updates, which is basically every car manufactured today. Hence, anybody planning to do business in Europe after July of 2024 (July 2022 for new vehicle types) needs to decide how they will implement an R-156 conformant SUMS.
R-156 and the type approval process
Manufacturers apply to local approval authorities for certification of their vehicles. That application is accompanied by evidence that a R-156 conformant SUMS exists for that vehicle and that the SUMS embodies practices conformant with the best practice for software update management as specified by R-156. It should be noted that those practices are not explicitly described in ISO/SAE 21434. So, conformance with R-155 does not imply compliance with R-156. Conformance with R-156 requires a different set of practices as specified in the regulation.
Once the approval authority has successfully audited each manufacturer's SUMS, a certificate of compliance is granted. That certificate is valid for a maximum of three years. However, the approval authority may at any time verify continued compliance and the vehicle type approval can be withdrawn if the requirements that are laid down in R-156 are not complied with. If approval is withdrawn, then the interested parties are informed as such and regulatory consequences apply.
By the terms of UNECE R-156, every subsequent modification of the software in a vehicle type that affects its technical performance and/or documentation requires the manufacturer to notify the authority granting the original approval. The authority may then either decide that whatever modifications occurred continue to comply with the requirements of the prior type approval. Or it may require a further test report from the technical service responsible for conducting its tests.
In addition, the approval authority that has granted type approval may at any time verify the conformity of the control methods that are applied in each production facility. Typical frequency of these verifications is once every three years. But the approval authority may also periodically validate that the update processes used by the vehicle manufacturer are compliant.
What does compliance involve?
Vehicle type approvals will require documented proof of compliance with the requirements of R-156. Essentially, that requires the creation of a documented baseline of software and hardware configuration items (SWCI/HWCI) for every applicable initial and updated software version utilized in a vehicle type. The items in this baseline must be uniquely identified and labeled and the baseline must contain all necessary validation data for an approved type. The process requirements are as follows:
Vehicle System Configuration Management – Every individual SWCI/HWCI baseline will be given a unique RXSWIN vehicle type label. This label will enable the vehicle manufacturer to manage all configurations of every baseline that is associated with an individual RXSWIN. In order to do this, a RXSWIN is created, assigned, and maintained for the configuration baseline for a vehicle type. If an update adds, alters, or enables any functionality that was not present, or enabled, by the original approval, or alters or disables parameters or functions that are defined by the regulation, then the correctness and compatibility of the updated software must be validated, verified, and recorded prior to release. Then configuration management will identify and record any changes to the existing software baseline. Both individual RXSWIN labels and associated unique baseline identifier labels must be updated as applicable.
Compliance – In addition, there must be a process that will enable the vehicle manufacturer to make all relevant compliance information available to the responsible authorities or their technical services upon request. This may be for the purpose of initial type approval, or for conformity of production, market surveillance, recalls, and Periodic Technical Inspection (PTI) requirements. That includes documentation that describes the configuration baseline of any associated type approved system both prior to (archive) and after (current baseline) an update. That also includes the unique identification information for the type approved system's hardware and software (including associated version baselines) and any relevant vehicle or system parameters.
Documentation of the Update – Specifically identifies and documents the vehicle baselines that will be updated for the vehicle type. Documentation will describe: the purpose of the update; what systems or functions of the vehicle the update may impact; which of these are type approved (if any); whether an update impacts requirements of the type approved system; how the update will be executed and the steps that will be taken to verify that the update was conducted safely and securely and that the update change has not been manipulated prior to initiation of the update process.
Over-the-Air Updating – For what should be obvious reasons, over-the-air (OTA) updates are a particular target for R-156 assurance. Thus, vehicle manufacturers must document the presence of appropriate and effective assurance controls for updates that are remotely delivered. In any situation where the execution of an update while driving may not be safe, the vehicle manufacturer must demonstrate how they will ensure that the vehicle cannot be driven during update and that the driver is not able to use any functionality of the vehicle that would affect safety or the successful execution of the update.
What does this all mean?
It should be evident that the R-155 and R-156 mandates will introduce time-consuming and expensive new wrinkles into the automotive business. So, the obvious question is why do it? If this were 1957, or even 1997, there would be credible argument for not wasting your time. But the ubiquity of programmed logic in every aspect of vehicle systems—from software defined radio (SDR) to the CANbus and its network of vehicle ECUs—has created a complex digital ecosystem where failure in any onboard device, or an unauthorized OBD, or RFICD access can spell trouble for the occupants. And that isn't even to mention the prospective world of self-driving vehicles. Thus, there must be a well-defined and highly organized approach to managing complexity in vehicle systems. Cybersecurity Management Systems (CSMS) and Software Update Management Systems (SUMS) might seem like royal pains in the neck to the OEMs. But that is the price an industry that relies on digital technology must pay in order to offer the many miracles of the modern automobile.

With a long, hot summer coming to an end, and dry conditions set to continue, the health of fish in a key local waterway is in the spotlight.
The region’s rivers have seen years of management aimed at repairing damage from the millennium drought and 2011 and 2016 floods, and building resilience to help them cope with dry times, says North Central Catchment Management Authority.
‘‘As a result, our waterways are in relatively good condition, as are the fish and other animals that rely on them to survive,’’ North Central CMA project manager Genevieve Smith said.
‘‘However, it has been a long, hot summer, and demand for irrigation flows in some parts of the Loddon River system, including Serpentine Creek, have been low.
‘‘That means less water has flowed down the waterway, so it’s time to freshen things up a bit.’’
Up to 40Ml a day for two days will flow down Serpentine Creek.
‘‘The flow will help with water quality, with fresh water mixing with still water. It will mean the whole creek will get a drink. It will also connect stagnant pools, allowing fish to move to better quality water if they need it,’’ Ms Smith said.
‘‘We had a flow earlier in summer that cleared the banks of any leaf litter, so the risk of toxic blackwater is low, and this flow will also wet those banks and help revitalise vegetation.’’

As the season comes to a close for the University of Wisconsin women’s basketball team, the Badgers dropped their penultimate contest to the University of Iowa Hawkeyes 88-61.
Unfortunately, slow and steady did not win the race. Iowa confidently won the first three quarters with margins of 10, 12 and 11, respectively. The Badgers finished the fourth quarter strong, outscoring the Hawkeyes 23-17.
The best part about the end of the season is how each player brings their game. This is the time where true colors are shown. It’s the last time they get to prove themselves to their teammates. So, even in this lackluster season that has seen the Badgers limp to a 2-13 conference record, there is still much to watch for.
In her second to last game as a Badger, senior Cayla McMorris, maintained her top scorer status with 14 points. Topping another average of 6.4 rebounds, McMorris came out with 11 out of the teams 29 against the Hawkeyes. This resulted in yet another double-double for the books. She also tied her career high of four steals.
It was only two weeks ago that McMorris scored her 1000th point against The Ohio State University, she now has 1,037 points in her career.
This is the time of the year when seniors are looking back at their experiences at Wisconsin and reminiscing. Whether it’s the goals they’ve reached and accomplished or those nail-biting games that changed their athletic outlooks forever, this is the time to look back. This is the moment when these women realize they have one game left and that’s it.
When asked what she was most looking forward to for this season, she told UW Athletics, “being able to have one last opportunity to help change the program.” The women who have grown with this team aren’t forgetting the mark they leave on the university. They want people to remember them as implementing change in the program.
So this game wasn’t just a loss, but it was a reminder their time is winding down — but it’s still possible to come back. The Wisconsin women’s basketball team is capable of ending the regular season with a win. Then there is still a chance to shock the world and take home the Big Ten Tournament title starting Feb. 28.
McMorris, along with seniors Kelly Karlis and Malayna Johnson, will have their final game against Michigan State Wednesday in East Lansing.

In July 2012, researchers from Chiang Mai Medical School in Thailand showed that giving coronary by-pass patients 4 gms of curcumin a day reduced the risk of heart attack by 56 per cent.
Curcumin is known to be anti-inflammatory and is cardio-protective. What was interesting is that the patients only received the curcumin from 4 days before surgery to 5 days after.
The researchers also showed that the curcumin reduced heart cell death across the surgery. C-Reactive protein levels also fell due to the curcumin.

Author has written 7 stories for One Tree Hill.
Hi! I'm not very good with these type of things but I guess all you need to know is that Nathan & Haley, from One Tree Hill, are my OTP and my stories will be/are solely about them. I like to write different types of stories so I'll let you know a little more about this.
Beautiful Disaster: this story is basically an alternate look at what happened to Nathan & Haley in season 5 with Nathan's depression. I always thought it was a shame how the writers decided to focus on the nanny storyline instead of focusing on the aftermath of his accident that had so much potential.
Dust In Your Pillow: it's an AU fanfic where Haley is married to Michael Benett but feels attracted to Nathan and eventually ends up giving into temptation. This is not my favourite kind of writing but I've seen a lot of NH fans around looking for stories like this and I decided to give it a try.
Baby Mama: a one-shot scene extension of the NH scene from the episode 8x14 "Holding Out For A Hero". This came up from my lack of enthusiasm (to put it nicely) towards season 8 and the way Nathan & Haley were portrayed this season so I felt like I could use a little scene extension where NH behave like I think they normally would.
Special Feeling: a one-shot about Nathan & Haley's first time. I've always wanted to read a good story about their first time and never found one that corresponded to my expectations so I wrote this one.
One Bittersweet Day: this one is the saddest story I've written and focuses mainly on Nathan's feelings with Haley away. I don't want to spoil it for you. If you're interested, check it out.

Updated: Sep 1
Iceland is a country full of magnificent waterfalls, geysers, glaciers, volcanoes, and endless lava fields. It is also a home for the Northern Lights and Midnight Sun. Along with its cliffs, black sand beaches, and colorful Highlands mountains, Iceland is full of amazing sceneries. Its architecture is equally exceptional and, in some aspects, unique. When you look at some pictures of Icelandic buildings, you can immediately recognize some Norse architecture elements' characteristics. Some of them are typical for Iceland only and come from a very remote past.
Traditional Viking house
Iceland is one of the most recently inhabited countries in Europe. According to the Icelandic medieval manuscript called the Landnamabok, the settlement's history on the island begins where today's capital city lies- Reykjavik.
Ingolfur Arnarson was Iceland's first settler after arriving in Reykjavik in 874. He was a Viking who came from Norway and built his first farm here. He proved that settlement in the new place was possible and started its colonization and the first Viking houses building.
The typical Viking home was made on long log elements, which worked as a solid base for the house. Those elements also had another essential foundation function, protecting the wooden parts from rotting. The pillars supported the ceiling. The roof was built on the beams which were supporting its construction. The upper rafters formed a triangular structure whose weight was lying on the pillars, lying on the floor on stones. At the time of the first settlement, Iceland was widely covered in forests, mainly in birch. It was used for building the first Viking houses. Those resources, however, were quickly depleted.
Turf roofs in Iceland
At that time in Norway, turf roofs were already known. As most of the settlers who came to Iceland were from Norway, a new way to insulate the roof emerged. Due to the lack of wood, they started to use turf, to cover the walls as it had good thermal insulation properties and was easy to get in Iceland. The roof was lined with grass and moss, which created an additional layer thanks to the roots network. The turf helped to keep the warmth inside the houses and not let the cold in. It was imperative during the long and harsh winters in Iceland.
The turf houses in Iceland are the architectural heritage that became one of the many choices to visit Iceland. Not many of them were maintained so that you can see them nowadays. Some of them, however, the big ones, were renovated and now serve as museums. Most of them belong to the National Museum's Historic Buildings Collection. In 1890 the major part of the Icelanders still lived on turf farms, but they started to move into cities and build different types of houses since that time.
Throughout the Middle Age, all the houses in Iceland were built from the soil. Those prototypes came from the origin country of the settlers, which was Norway.
Some of the houses which were discovered in Reykjavik came from the X century. Their characteristic elements were thick walls, on 2 meters, and oblong shapes even up to 20 meters long. The houses were built from stones as wood was scarce on the island. The wood was only used for roof constructions.
Reykjavik has evolved over the centuries. However, it still has the character of a village rather than a city. The city's development can be seen in several modern skyscrapers built to give the town some fresh view. The Harpa concert hall stands out with its modernity. The building is said to be made of ice, and it looks like it. The basalt landscape of Iceland inspires its facade.
There are some aspects of Scandinavian architecture that help us distinguish it from any other. Apart from the houses were people lived, the Vikings also built other buildings that had different functions. One of those was the boathouses, built near the waterline. They served for the Viking boats to be kept during the winter while they were not used. Some of them were incredibly long as the Viking ships could reach up to 25 meters or longer. The base was made of stones, on which the wooden walls were built up. Each house could only keep one ship.
The religious houses were also built, even before the Christians came to Scandinavia. The first ritual houses were not much different from other buildings. Those were made from wood and were initially used for defeating the enemies and displaying their weapons. After the Christianization of Scandinavia, the Steve churches began to appear. The wooden churches were built using the same techniques as in making the boathouses.
The Stave church, one of the prettiest churches in Iceland, is very tall, with complex constructions. From the outside, they looked rather dark, as most of them were decorated with intricate designs.
Nowadays, the Scandinavian style of architecture is well known all around the world. Both building houses, interior design, and lifestyle can be subordinated to the philosophy which derives from the North. A balanced selection of decorative details, subdued colors, and simplicity is the key to Scandinavian architecture. Fabrics that preserve natural colors, raw wood, extensive glazing, and small decorative elements are the main aspects of the Scandinavian interior. The furniture is relatively simple. The houses are to be functional and ensure comfort for their inhabitants.

People often ask me "Minx, what are you reading at the moment darling?"
The Truth About Elvis
Jess Stearn with Larry Geller (celebrity hairstylist)
What's it all about? (according to the sleeve notes): Elvis Presley felt guided by heaven's hand to become the messenger of god. For the first time, here is the truth about Elvis and his power of psychic healing; his belief in UFOs; his prophecy of his own death and his predictions of Armageddon and the New Age.
Opening lines: The phone rang and an unfamiliar voice said: 'I know Elvis would like you to write this book, as your writings had some influence on him'. This was my introduction to Larry Geller, Elvis's long-time resident guru and spiritual adviser (aka hair stylist and Memphis Mafia sycophant)
Snap critique: Spookily inaccurate spiritual guidance, mainly from the King's hairdresser, Geller, who somehow built a psychic bridge to the big man and never really got over it.
Best read: When you've got the moody blues and not sure if your gettin' through ... even after your tenth fried chicken washed down with the King's special medicinal cocktail. Give it time, it will all make sense.
The Amorous Antics of Old England
What's it all about? (according to the sleeve notes): The history of sex in Britain has been largely glossed over by 'proper' historians, but Cawthorne has burrowed deep into the archives to reveal exactly what these libidinous types got up to - in bed... and out of it. (Hello!)
Opening lines: It may be hard to believe, but in times gone by the English were considered a particularly attractive lot - particulary when compared with the French.
Snap critique: You will be shocked and stunned by the antics of this most randiest of races. Just like reading the script for a Carry On movie, but this is backed up by rigorous research (not that I'm suggesting that Carry On Up the Khyber was anything but purely factual).
Best read: When the passion is gone and you really can't be arsed to bring it back. Lie back and think of ye olde England, it's far more entertaining.
Too Damn Famous: A Novel
Joan Collins (and BTW, thanks Joan for making it clear this is "a Novel" otherwise we just might have thought it was about you)
What's it all about?: Too damn famous, too damn beautifu, too damn rich - but, above all, much too lonely Katherine Bennet is the star who has made 'The Skeffington' the most watched TV soap in America. She has everything except the one thing she wants above all: someone who truly loves the real Katherine, not the screen image.
Opening lines: "I don't need a husband, I need a wife," Katherine Bennet declared just loudly enough for the convoy of reporters snapping at her heels to hear. She was hurrying thought the winding corridors of Santa Monica Superior Court, with her expensive and expansive divorce lawyer Barry Lefcovitz in tow ..."
Snap critique: Channelling Marilyn Munroe's quote "The problem is men go to bed with Marilyn and wake up with Norma Jeane" except Katherine is from the 80s and her lovers wake up with a woman with crazy-big bed hair and shoulder pads in her negligee. It's all opulence, dramatic dialogue about desperately wanting to be alone ... but not really, and a conga line of love rats. Just like, um, Dynasty.
Best read: While recovering from a 'procedure' at Dr Tuck's Private Clinic, California.
If I Knew Then What I Know Now ... So What?
TV's Favourite Golden Girl Estelle Getty
What's it all about?: Former Golden Girl Getty (Sophia Petrillo) serves up her wisdom and advice on everything from marriage and motherhood to Hollywood and hypochondria.
Opening lines: "Me? Writing a book? Maybe next I'll model French bikinis. Who knows?
Snap critique: With chapters such as My Body Was a Temple (Now It's a Two-Car Garage) and So Eat Something!: The Art of Being Jewish, what's not to love about this wise-cracking senior? But don't just take my word for it, here are endorsements from two industry heavyweights:
"It's funny, dear, insightful and inspiring, just like Estelle" - Barry Manilow
"I loved it. Estelle is warm, entertaining and very funny" - Bert Newton
Best read: On the bus home from the half-price early matinee at the cinema.

Simon Faithfull: Elsewhen | 09.03.19 – 30.06.19
The solo exhibition ‘Elsewhen’ brings together a series of works and interventions by internationally acclaimed artist Simon Faithfull that collectively act as a kind of orientation device for both the artist and the visitor to Hestercombe Gallery.
Many of Faithfull’s works endeavour to subjectively map the planet that the artist finds himself on – attempting to understand his place in both time and space.
Faithfull often tries to bring back personal accounts of far-flung places and to create what he calls ‘An Expanding Atlas of Subjectivity’. More importantly though, the artworks also try to connect the local, everyday scale of our normal lives to the wider, global scale of the planet. Faithfull’s works for this exhibition have been selected in an attempt to place the viewer against a planetary scale of both space and time.
Our inability to deal easily with these huge scales however means that this ‘orientation device’ can in fact feel more ‘disorientating’ rather than reassuring. The artworks ask questions about where we find ourselves and perhaps undermine some of our comfortable delusions about the stability and certainty of our place within the wider universe – orientation as an aid to getting lost!

She forgot she could talk to God anytime, day or night, and he would listen to her words and prayers. He was always there to help Patty.
Patty learned that through all things she faced in life - even during bad times - good always came out of them. But it was through her love of and faith in God, and the guidance he gave her, that Patty found healing and renewed trust in God and others.
Her journey to walk with God and how to learn how to trust, have compassion and most importantly “Let go Let God” is featured in her first of several books including her first book, The Porcelain Rose: And the Hidden Truth and her newly released book Having Coffee with the Special One. The third book in the series, The Love that Matters: Second Time Around will be available in January 2022.
To help spread God’s message and blessings to others, Patty founded Give “God” His Glory Publishing.
Patty is a loving wife of over 42 years, mother of three loving children, grandmother of nine wonderful grandchildren, daughter and sister to seven siblings. When she’s not busy with her family, Patty is overseeing her business, PS Tax Specialist, LLC in Texas. An avid traveler, she still has many magical places she wants to visit. Patty also loves to sew and quilt.
