The Various Types of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapies
Currently, there are many different types of psychoanalytic psychotherapies, as a lot has happened in the field of psychotherapy since Freud created orthodox psychoanalysis in 1896. They maintain some of the bases of their Freudian roots but also disagree with them to some extent. Psychoanalytic psychotherapies emerge as variants of the psychoanalytic type of cure. In fact, the demand for psychological care increased after World War II. Thus, the goal was to increase effectiveness and shorten the time.
Gradually, psychoanalytic psychotherapy became a specialty and therapy of choice for many patients. The classical psychoanalytic current analyzed in depth what they referred to as “transferential neurosis”, as well as its multiple foci. As you can see, they were dense therapies that extended over many years.
In contrast, more recent psychoanalytic psychotherapies are now way shorter because the therapist is more active. They focus on the pathological and determinant cores of the current conflict that a given patient brings to consultation. Another goal is to strengthen the healthy aspects of their patient.
Some authors disagreed with Freud in the sense that they realized the duration of therapy wasn’t proportional to the depth or duration of change. Alexander and French were two of them and proposed therapeutic success as an indicator of the “corrective emotional experience” provided by the therapeutic relationship. Thus, this alliance or relationship becomes a fundamental ingredient in any new ones.
“In Hollywood if you don’t have a shrink, people think you’re crazy.”
Current psychoanalytic psychotherapies
Balint’s brief or focal psychotherapy
This is also referred to as psychotherapy of limited time and delimited objective. With it, the patient and therapist delimit a specific and circumscribed focus to address it in depth. The particular area of the patient’s problem is the focus and expression of their symptoms, highlighting the most vulnerable parts. Therefore, the therapeutic success will depend on specifying the conflictive focus and getting the patient to focus on it.
Sifneos’ short-term anxiety-provoking psychotherapy (STAPP)
Sifneos distinguishes two types of brief psychotherapy: one anxiolytic or supportive and the other based on an anxiogenic approach. The therapist exposes the patient to provocative confrontations and interpretations. They do so in order to induce anxiety and achieve a strong alliance as they face it.
Emotional re-education and learning skills are sought through the oedipal registration of the transference. There are between six and 15 sessions. Also, it’s necessary for patients to present a circumscribed central complaint and high motivation.
Malan’s brief psychotherapy
For Malan, the focus or focal point is a formulation that contains the symptoms and unresolved psychodynamic conflicts. It starts from the idea of two triangles on which interpretation and insight should run. These are the triangle of conflict and the triangle of persons.
The unconditional acceptance of a given patient promotes insight and corrective emotional experience. In addition, change occurs through active dream interpretation, fantasy, and transference.
Mann’s time-limited psychotherapy
Brevity, immediate ending, and detachment are the central elements here. There are 12 sessions, the perfect time for psychodynamic events to occur and be explored and resolved.
The therapist selects a central current conflict, one related to the patient’s history. Then, the patient learns to master separation anxiety and it serves as a model for overcoming other anxieties.
Psychoanalytic psychotherapies – Davanloo’s intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy
This is a more systematized, applicable, and widespread model. This is because it considers a broad focus in which to identify, dismantle, and obtain the manifestation of unconscious feelings of the patient’s transference defenses and resistances.
Thus, the focus here is on anger and rage. The patient is to express it all freely with reinforcement. Thus, it’s a reaffirmation and desensitization. It’s a deactivation of the unconscious by early and systemic interpretation of the triangles of intrapsychic conflict and relationships.
Bellak’s intensive brief and emergency psychotherapy
This treatment only lasts five to six sessions. Its base is the paradigm of emergency medicine and it requires specific skills and experience. The therapist selects targets, not patients.
Conclusions on psychoanalytic psychotherapies
The traditional psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud is the prototypical one, but it isn’t superfluous to know the different psychoanalytic psychotherapies out there. Indeed, they’re based on the most orthodox psychoanalysis, even though they’re dissociated from it in some parts. The number of sessions, for example.
They also differ in the fact of focusing on a goal to resolve, instead of attending to all the material a given patient brings to therapy without a common thread. Thus, they focus more on the patient’s present and their current conflicts, instead of giving so much importance to their past.
Many psychoanalytic psychotherapies are currently in the experimental phase for many disorders. However, they’re definitely useful for disorders in which there are family implications, such as anorexia, schizophrenia, and some personality disorders.

JOS- Gov. Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi has said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s performance in the last seven years compelled governors of other political parties to defect to All Progressives Congress (APC).
Bagudu, who is the Chairman, Progressive Governors Forum, stated this in on Tuesday at the flag off of APC presidential campaign in Jos.
“Because of what of you have done, we have seen governors decamping from other political parties into APC.
“When you came on board, many states were owing their workers’ salaries for months but you assisted them to clear the areas of salaries,” he said.
The chairman said that the APC governors would support Sen. Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate Sen. Kashim Shettima to continue with the good works of the APC-led Federal Government.
“On behalf of the 22 APC governors, we are 100 per cent in support of Tinubu/Shettima ticket.
“We are confident in winning a free and square election as you (Buhari) has inculcated in us,” he said.
Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi who spoke on behalf of youths, said that Tinubu would replicate what he did in Lagos as governor and Shettima would replicate achievements as Borno governor.
“As youth of this country, we are going to mobilise ourselves from state to state, community to community and house to house for Tinubu.
“This coming 2023 election is about the younger generation, it is not about Tinubu or Shettima but about the generations yet on born.
“We’re going campaign across the country and we are going to win.
“Let me congratulate Tinubu/Shettima ahead, come 2023 we are going to escort you to the villa,” he said.
Gov. Ben Ayade of Cross River in his remarks, said that all South South states of the would massively vote for the APC considering what the party had been able to do for the country.
Plateau APC governorship candidate, Dr Nentawe Yilwatda, thanked the party for chosing Plateau to flag off its campaign.
Yilwatda said that APC would not regret the decision assuring the members that the Plateau would not disappoint in any form.(NAN)


IEC and ISO develop international standards for information and communication technologies (ICT) for business and consumer applications, through their joint technical committee (ISO/IEC JTC 1).
Some examples include automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) techniques for RFID tags used in retail and supply chain management; biometrics, cards and personal identification, for accessing buildings and smart devices. The scope also covers AI, cloud computing, coding of audio, picture, multimedia and hypermedia information, data management and exchange, IoT, IT security techniques, programming languages and system software interfaces, virtual reality and more.
Technologies are changing how we live, do business, monitor our health and communicate. In just over two decades, smart devices, email, Internet and social media have largely replaced former communications channels.
Factories are more automated, car manufacturers are developing self-driving vehicles, while algorithms can already predict health problems before they develop, so what about the future? How will life be in another 10 years?
Against this backdrop, the Joint Advisory Group (JAG) on Emerging Technology and Innovation (JETI) was established in 2016, in order to find and recommend opportunities to JTC 1 to facilitate standards development for future emerging and innovation technologies.
e-tech caught up with Seungyun Lee, JETI Convenor, to hear about the latest work and activities.
We established a list of 15 top technologies following a JETI group survey in 2018. Right now the top five include:
During the 2018 survey, 32 technologies were identified. These were gathered from many other professional technology forecasting organizations, such as Gartner, IDC and Forest Research.
The list is broad, so we will have to decide which areas need urgent attention and see how we can streamline overlapping topics where possible. Some examples include:
As long as the adoption of ICT technologies continues to spread rapidly into all industries, the role and responsibilities of ICT standards will become more important.
As the ICT-based convergence of industry expands, the approach to standardization needs to be differentiated from existing approaches to make sure we consider the various converged industries and eco-systems as well.
At the moment, ISO, IEC and JTC 1 are using a systems approach to standards to support this. We expect the systems approach could become more complex and critical and in this sense, we (JETI) will need to consider how we could improve planning for future emerging technology and what the best methodology to support future ICT standards would be.

Back away slowly, here comes 1,3,5-trinitro-2,4,6-trinitroaminobenzene – a compound that beats all other organic explosives with its enormous detonation power.
Like other polynitrobenzene explosives, TNTNB neatly combines an oxidiser – the nitro groups – and fuel – the benzene ring – into a single molecular package. This means it can generate huge amounts of energy extremely quickly through self-redox reactions. Like hexanitrobenzene, TNTNB has six nitro groups but also three additional high-energy N–N bonds in its nitroamino groups.
TNTNB tops most other primary explosives, including TNT, in terms of its heat of detonation, which quantifies how much energy is released when it explodes. At 9510m/s it beats hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane’s detonation velocity. Its sensitivity to shock, friction and electrostatic discharge is comparable to that of lead azide and diazodinitrophenol.
Unlike hexanitrobenzene, TNTNB is stable in moist air, water, acids and bases. This is because its three nitroamino groups preserve the benzene ring’s aromaticity compared with all nitro groups.
TNTNB was made from trinitro-triaminobenzene, a molecule first created in 1888. It has since remained a synthetic dead end for explosives synthesis because the amino groups have such strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds that they can’t be directly substituted for nitro groups. The researchers solved this by activating the amino groups through acylation, which then allowed them to then attach the three additional nitro groups.

Escape Is Not Freedom/dusK Village Split (Sludge/Rock, released Feb, 23rd, 2018)
Escape Is Not Freedom (members from Arctic Sleep), who are releasing a self-titled split cassette with dusK Village (members from Rabies Caste, KESSEF, Tangorodrim) set to be released on February 23, 2018.
Hailing from Chicago, Escape Is Not Freedom will be releasing a split with fellow sludge/rock trio dusK Village on February 23, 2018.
Escape Is Not Freedom:
Mike - guitar, vocals
Darrin - drums
Josh - bass
Guest Vocals on “We’re Wrecked” by Emily Jancetic
SLAV. GIL. FUKS
Boiling Nails - Escape Is Not Freedom
We’re Wrecked - Escape Is Not Freedom
Exolife Civilization Leak - dusK Village
A Self Fan- dusK Village
Escape Is Not Freedom
I always try to write regarding what I hear with an artist's music and ignore name dropping bands if I can. It works better in my opinion, I'm not influenced by any other writing or what someone has told me, and it gives the band a fresh approach from my own perspective. Escape Is Not Freedom (this is the first time I've ever heard the band), contain sludge, grunge, and alternative rock traits.
The opening guitars and meaty riffs with Boiling Nails are very infectious and grew on me the more I listened. I'd probably go running or skating to this type of sound as its heavy enough, but also has a regular rhythm I can match, so its ideal for skating. I would have preferred the vocals to be angrier or harsher, and the few mellow parts in Boiling Nails could have been left out the song, so it would of been a fiercer sound. However, Boiling Nails is the best song on the split, and I've never heard any other material from Escape Is Not Freedom, so I'm curious to compare previous works with the new tracks.
We're Wrecked is a song that may not immediately grab the listener, but does indeed grow on you. Emily Jancetic's guest vocals are very beautiful and I think she could (or maybe already has?) sing in a multitude of genres ranging from lighter styles of hip hop, folk, goth, and acoustic. She adds a melancholy feel to the song, which isn't really music I'd listen to, but I can appreciate it, and recognise the craft pertaining to both the musicians and singer.
I'd like to see Escape Is Not Freedom collaborate with Emily again, or work on a dark gothic doom ish song with big riffs and haunting vocals. Just a thought that popped into my mind when I was listening. It has a sombre tone and is an emotional piece of music.
Escape Is Not Freedom are the band I prefer from the split. I'm not sure if it is music I would regularly come back to again and again, but they seem to not be afraid of experimenting, which is demonstrated by the song We're Wrecked. The guitars interchange nicely, the drumming is good, and the vocals on Boiling Nails are good, although not my personal style.
Exolife Civilization Leak
The second half of the split features two tracks from the band dusK Village and unfortunately I didn't enjoy them. They just didn't quite hold me, but Exolife Civilization Leak was the song I liked the most from their side. The title suggests a possible sci-fi influence, which is cool. A rad concept, and can imagine some beast or creature perhaps escaping a capsule on Earth or somewhere else. The vocals are stronger on this song and flow with the fierce riffs, but it is a little slow for my own preferences, but I think fans of bands such as these guys will really enjoy dusK Village. Its kinda a mix of sludge, grunge, and noise rock.
A Self Fan
A Self Fan is certainly more punkish and played to a quicker tempo, but sadly it just seems to lose me. dusK Village do play in time and have taken considerable effort to flow together. The vocals are not powerful enough to hold my attention, which I thought maybe would have fared better with more furious guitar riffs.
The split isn't a bad piece of music by any means and as usual it does come down to personal taste. With that being said, I tried to share with you all what I did like or could recognise with both bands, so hopefully I gave a sense of the sounds and vibe with the music. I'd still help both bands regardless of what I like/dislike with the music, and if The Wastelands was active, I'd have featured them both on the show.
If you are a fan of grungy noise rock mixed with sludge, then you will be ecstatic with the split, and I would recommend it, but I'm not sure if fans outside those areas will appreciate it.

The signal analysis enables the description of the dynamic properties of a vibrating system from the input and output signals of this system on the basis of frequency analysis . In addition to statistical methods such as averaging and the calculation of standard deviations, it is of outstanding importance when evaluating acoustic and vibration-related signals.
The systems to be analyzed are often mechanical structures. Then the input variable could be a stimulating force and the output variables could be the resulting surface velocities (“vibrations”) at any point on the structure. The signal analysis can then be used, for. B. describe in detail the vibration rates with which the structure reacts to a certain force excitation.
Another broad area of application for signal analysis is in electrical systems, especially in quadrupole systems . In this case, the input variable can be a current or a voltage . The output variable is usually also a current or a voltage. In large electrical systems such as machines or transformers, broadband signal analysis (see transfer function or frequency response ) can be used to derive not only electrical information, but also mechanical information (e.g. about deformations).
The general formulation of signal analysis theory is based on linear systems. However, with special extensions, non-linear systems can also be treated.
The basis of the signal analysis is the Fourier transformation . It enables the transfer of time signals into the frequency domain by breaking down the time functions into the sum of an infinite number of harmonic individual functions with infinitely finely graduated frequencies (Fourier integral). This relationship can be formulated for the time signal x (t) with the associated Fourier spectrum X (f) using the equation
The computational representation of this transformation on digital computers is called Discrete Fourier Transformation (DFT):
- (k = 0, 1,…, N-1)
X k is called the finite Fourier spectrum of the discretized time function x n (N samples). The algorithm most frequently used to calculate it is the Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT).
The numerical calculation has some special features that must be taken into account when analyzing the signal.
- Due to the discrete-time sampling ( discretization ) of a measuring signal arising in relation to the frequency content of the signal to the small sampling distortions as a band overlapping or aliasing are designated ( Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem ). They can be avoided by using analog low-pass filtering below half the sampling frequency ("anti-aliasing filter").
- The time limit of the sampling ("time" or "analysis window") leads to the appearance of so-called sidebands in the frequency range. If the observation period does not correspond to the period duration of frequencies contained in the signal or their integral multiples, then these sidebands influence the discrete spectrum z. B. by the appearance of additional frequency components. This phenomenon is known as the leakage effect. Using special evaluation functions in the time window (e.g. Hanning window ), its effects can be reduced, but not entirely avoided.
- The frequency discretization causes (after reverse transformation) a periodization of the time signal, which, however, is mostly irrelevant for the analysis. The infinitely finely graduated frequencies of the Fourier integral become equidistant 'frequency lines' with Δf = 1 / T.
- The digitization of the analog signal leads to a limitation of the dynamic range , the quantization noise , which is less significant the higher the resolution of the A / D converter is. Due to the limited dynamics of the analog measuring devices, this effect usually does not need to be taken into account during digitization if the modulation is good .
If these special features are taken into account, the DFT (FFT) is a powerful tool for frequency analysis that has almost completely replaced analog techniques (filter banks) in recent years. Based on this, the relationships between different signals (typically one “system input” and several “system outputs”) can be determined particularly easily with the aid of the extended signal analysis techniques. The prerequisite for this is i. General the parallel acquisition of the signals.
The following figure shows the most important signal analysis functions in a block diagram. In principle, the calculation process for the individual functions can be followed using the connecting lines. The time functions are arranged in the left part of the picture, the frequency functions in the right. The two areas are linked via the Fourier transformation F and the inverse Fourier transformation F −1 , which are used for the back calculation to the time signal x (t) using the equation
can be described. The inverse Fourier transform therefore enables a time function to be determined from its Fourier transform. The forward and backward transformations entered in the diagram can therefore also take place in the other direction if necessary. If a block has several inputs, this indicates several calculation options.
Signal analysis functions
The individual signal analysis functions are of different importance. Outstanding are the car power spectrum , from which the RMS spectrum is calculated, the frequency response, which describes the system behavior and z. B. is needed to carry out the modal analysis and the coherence with which the quality of the analysis results can be assessed. The cepstrum is used to determine periodic components and their orders in the signal, as is the autocorrelation function to a limited extent . With the cross-correlation function , transit times between the input and output signals can be identified. The cross-performance spectrum has little informative value of its own. It is therefore mostly only used to determine the frequency response and the cross-correlation function.

It was lower than nine weeks ago that the handsome duo first obtained the rumor mill going by sharing photographs on their Mexican trip together. A few weeks later, after making pink carpet appearances collectively, each individually disclosed they had been courting and in love with each other throughout interviews on totally different discuss reveals. Katie Cherry, who dated the actor for three months in 2019, mentioned that Ben known as JLo’s tush “phenomenal” whereas the 2 have been briefly collectively. Yet the crux of the sequence, its most crucial foil, came from Frasier’s radio producer Roz Doyle (Peri Gilpin) who did not hesitate to mock Frasier’s out-of-touch privilege and heaps of misfires. In different phrases, Affleck’s courting life may be relatable as heck to some.
“It’s a wonderful consequence that this has happened in this way presently in our lives where we are ready to really respect and celebrate each other and respect each other,” continued Lopez. “We all the time did, but we have much more of an appreciation as a end result of we know that life can take you in numerous directions.” She revealed the exciting replace in an April eight email to her inside circle. The message to fans included a clip of Lopez admiring a huge, green diamond on her ring finger, a picture of which was additionally shared by her sister on social media.

A second supply wouldn’t comment on stories that Affleck and Lopez might transfer in together, but tells Yahoo, “They are very pleased right now.” In an interview with Elle, Shookus opened up in regards to the public attention. “My complete profession has been behind the camera, and that’s positively the place I’m most comfortable.

He went on to say “the largest remorse of my life is that this divorce,” and clarify “It’s not significantly wholesome for me to obsess over the failures — the relapses — and beat myself up.”
Lopez’s different previous relationships include her 10-year marriage to singer Marc Anthony. The former couple, who divorced in 2014, have 14-year-old twins Emme and Max together.

Ann and I have been going to the the RAYS of HOPE Rejuvenation Center located at 113 S. US Hwy 441, in Lady Lake, FL, since they opened in 2015 to use their NovoTHOR whole-body light pod (semi-enclosed bed) that emits red and near-infrared light to receive what is called photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) technology which use to be called low level light therapy (LLLT). Had to copy that technical stuff from their web page, I like the term light therapy.
Since Ann and I have been using this light therapy several times a week we have both had more energy and feel like getting out more and doing more fun activities than we did before using light therapy.
Ann who has lots of body pain issues with Fibromyalgia being the main pain generator was not able to get out of the house much prior to her using light therapy and now she is able to get out of the house several hours a day and we both feel her new found energy is from using light therapy.
Using light therapy sounds like science fiction or some sort of gimmick but it is working for both Ann and Me and as long as it works we are happy to use it to keep us happy.
Our two visits a week are fast and easy, I receive eight minutes while Ann who has more pain issues than I do takes in twelve minutes of light therapy.
We make an appointment, arrive, go into a booth, remove our clothing, go into the secure light therapy area, push the blue button on the therapy pod, the pod comes on emitting those red and near-infrared light lights, climb into the pod, pull the lid down over us, does not completely close so if you are claustrophobic like me you do not have to worry about being closed inside the pod.
Close your eyes and let the light do the work for you and once the light goes off, push the lid up, go back into your booth, get dressed and head out for the rest of your day.
We enjoy the treatments and continue to have more energy as well as less pain in various areas of our bodies and have continued to use this new and improved light therapy so we can keep our energy flowing and constant.
I have heard some folks who get the light therapy treatments do not notice any changes in their medical issues, body aches or other issues, while other folks get immediate relief and only do as many sessions as it takes to resolve their issues and do not continue the light therapy.
Ann and I have had such good success with the light therapy treatments we continue to go several times a week just to make sure our bodies are getting all the therapy needed to ensure we keep our energy levels up, everyone is different when it comes to therapy and what works for one may not work for the others.
I feel that we all have to do what works for US when it comes to our health and when you find something that works for you, use it until it no longer works for you.

ISLAMABAD: The government has decided to set up a “cyber authority”, a special court to deal with cyber crime and disputes as well as an emergency unit to counter attacks that are against Pakistan’s interests.
This is part of larger plan to amend a dozen major laws through a consolidated compendium to be called the Electronic Documents and Prevention of Cybercrimes Act, 2014.
This consolidates and updates the different laws that are applicable to information technology or cyber activity in an all-encompassing piece of law to combat crime and to promote electronic and computerised businesses through legal documents, e-signatures, etc.
A source in the prime minister’s secretariat told Dawn the draft law was being considered for promulgation through an ordinance to address short-term challenges after its approval by parliament. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his top legal and bureaucratic aides have been engaged in extensive consultations on the issue with a team of lawyers, led by Supreme Court advocate Akram Shaikh and regulatory expert Aslam Hayat for over three months and a final piece of law has been prepared.
It is expected to be taken up by the cabinet soon.
According to the final 30-page draft available with Dawn, the proposed law has 77 sections and two schedules of offences, punishments, facilities and technologies to be covered. These include cyber crime, terrorism and crimes against the state committed with the aid of modern technology.
Besides many changes in the existing criminal laws, the new law seeks to amend major laws such as the Pakistan Telecommunication Reorganisation Act of 1996, the Qanun-e-Shahadat law of 1984, the Negotiable Instruments Act of 1881, the Power of Attorney Act of 1881, the Trust Act of 1882 and the Criminal Procedures Code, 1898.
Under Article 10 of the Constitution, the law seeks to establish a 7-member corporate body called the Cyber Authority of Pakistan, comprising five members from the private sector and two from the public sector, with protected tenures of at least three years.
This authority will not only address all aspects related to cyber activity from its own specialist lens but also prevent and suppress cybercrimes effectively and efficiently.
Officials said that such a regulatory authority does not exist in other regional countries; some legislative models are available in east Asia and, obviously, in the West.
The authority will also be empowered to organise cyber-investigation and cyber-protection teams. This is based on the realisation that only experts in information technology and cyber activity can successfully investigate, prosecute or prevent cyber crimes. Also, there have been cases of persons using electronic devices to attack national infrastructure and otherwise causing significant problems for the interests of the state.
The government will therefore establish the Cyber Emergency Response Team led by the secretary of information technology, comprising two outstanding experts to respond to national and significant cyber-security issues as well as bridge the gap between the government and the Cyber Authority.
Because of the kind of crimes involved, the government is also to set up a Cyber Tribunal led by a chairperson and comprising judges of the high courts or equivalent-rank former judges, prominent lawyers of high courts and known professional experts on information technology, internet services, telecommunications and cryptography services. The decisions of the Tribunal can only be challenged before the high court.
Sources said that on the advice of Mr Shaikh, the law will cover basic and widely practiced cyber crimes. Complex ones have been avoided given the fact that such crimes are not common in Pakistan.
ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS: The law provides a framework for the authentication of electronic documents by affixing electronic signatures through a unique system of private and public keys so that any changes in documents, forms and signatures are detectable by the Cyber Authority. As a result, such transactions and businesses would be legally recognised, with authenticity to be confirmed by the Cyber Authority and kept in the safe record for any future re-verification.
This would also involve receipt or payment by means of such electronic forms as the government may prescribe and allow electronic filing and the issuance of forms, applications, licences, permits or any other documents with any office, authority, body or agency owned or controlled by the government.
The authority will also take care of contract formation, the communication and acceptance of proposals or their revocation through the use of electronic documents and devices. It will be responsible for prescribing the procedure for electronic contract formation or authentication.
Notwithstanding the requirements of the Stamp Duty Act of 1899, stamp duty shall not be payable with respect to any instrument executed in the electronic form until an appropriate mode is prepared by the government. Likewise, no electronic document will require attestation or notarisation for a period of four months to enable the government to put in place a fresh mechanism for this. The law requires that an electronic document shall be deemed to have been sent by the originator if it was sent by the originator or his authorised nominee.
The authority will also be the focal body to coordinate with domestic and international law enforcement agencies against cyber crimes and facilitate intelligence-gathering and the investigation of such crimes. In doing so, it will also coordinate with the business community and civil society, while collecting and recording traffic data in real time.
It is to have the power to seek and access any governmental or non-governmental organisations, including network service providers, and grant and renew accreditation certificates, cryptography services, electronic signatures and security procedures.As part of the proposed law, there is a schedule of crimes, compensations and punishments including the forgery of documents, the downloading of copies of papers relating to others, hacking, unauthorised interception, dishonestly receiving electronic devices and documents, identity theft, impersonation, the violation of privacy, electronic fraud, cyber terrorism, cyber stalking, spamming, spoofing and domain squatting.
Offences also include transmission of offensive messages or images of sexually explicit acts, depicting children in sexually explicit acts, the transmission of material containing heinous acts, the failure to protect data, and false information by the subscriber or false certificates. All offences and crimes under the proposed act will be non-bailable, compoundable and cognisable.

Cabernet Franc is a fun one to experiment with. It’s a grape that is typically associated with Bordeaux blends, where it really shines, but in recent years you are seeing more and more straight Cabernet Franc bottles. And I’m fan. Cabernet Franc is kind of a little brother to Cabernet Sauvignon. They share some similar characteristics (red/black berry fruit) but Cabernet Franc is generally a little softer, not as dominant, and exudes more pepper, spice and earthy tones.
On a recent trip to Napa, I found more and more of the winemakers offering straight 100% Cabernet Franc bottles. One that stands out that I enjoyed was The Fury from Revolver Wine Company (and they have a great little tasting room in Yountville).
Cabernet Franc is typically priced less than Cabernet Sauvignon since it hasn’t yet achieved the same level of fame (and arguably, finesse). You will find a few Cabernet Franc bottles starting around $10 with many hovering around that $40-60 mark.
I’d recommend trying to find a straight 100% Cabernet Franc bottle to start with so you get a good idea what the grape tastes like. California, Washington State and France’s Loire Valley (prominent area is Chinon) are good places to start. From there, you can begin to enjoy the nice red wines that are blended with Cabernet Franc, especially many of the Bordeaux wines. It will be easier to pick out the Cabernet Franc characteristics and you will begin to determine if you like blends with more or less Cabernet Franc.
Your Cabernet Franc Check List:
– California Cabernet Franc (you should be able to find a few that are 100% Cabernet Franc)
– Bordeaux blend that includes Cabernet Franc
– See if you can find a Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley in France. Chinon is a popular region for Cabernet Franc and one of the more widely available in the US
– Cabernet Franc from Washington State (see Walla Walla)
– Up and coming Cabernet Franc region: Canada

Newly built PC freezes and shuts down, no blue screen errors.
I've had this problem for almost 2 weeks now.
My newly built computer, with an PSU, 2 harddrives and a dvd writer used on my old PC has been crashing on me at random and then randomly shutting down. There are no blue screen errors, the PC will just lock up, the monitor stays on, you can't move the mouse or type anything and the fans on the PC continue to move until the PC shuts down on it's own or you shut it off yourself.
I've done a memtest and it passed both sticks of RAM, but it took several tries to test the RAM as the PC just kept crashing and crashing on the memtest. I tested both sticks separately than both at the same time, with and without the graphics card installed.
I tried doing an hard drive test on both of the hard drives, I discovered that one of my hard drives was broken, tried running the PC with a new installed version of Windows 7 64bit Ultimate but with the one hard drive in, it crashed again.
The only ever bluescreen I got was a Bad_Info_Setup bluescreen. Other then that, there have been no blue screens. And when I reinstalled Windows 7 again, I never got the issue again.
I've been told due to there being no blue screen errors it's possibly a problem with the power supply. But if that was the case, would a defective PSU really cause the PC to lock up, keep the power running on the PC then just crash out on me?
I've bought a new hard drive, got a replacement sticks of RAM I've yet to test out and I've sent my power supply last Wednesday to Corsair to get a replacement.
While I wait for the replacement for the PSU to arrive I need to get suggestions and help from people. What could be causing these random crashes, they also happened with my older build but the PC wouldn't shut down power would still be going through the tower and you would have had to restart the PC to get it working again.

The existing demand for vanadium is driven mainly by the consumption of steel which has applications in infrastructure, automobile and heavy machinery. The increased application of vanadium in energy storage aligned with support by various governments towards non-conventional sources and vanadium application in steel production is estimated to promote higher demand for vanadium compounds in forthcoming years. Further, increasing usage and wide scale applications of steel in automobile industry is believed to trigger the demand for Ferro and Nitro vanadium compounds in the global vanadium alloys market. Apart from this, countries such as China, Japan, Russia and U.S. are providing immense growth opportunities for the market of vanadium alloys to grow at a significant rate.
The global vanadium alloy market reached USD 3,768.1 Million in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 5,627.3 Million by the end of 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 5.2% over the forecast period i.e. 2018-2025. Moreover, the growth of the vanadium alloy market is attributed to the increasing demand for steel in the infrastructural development, especially in developing countries.
Global vanadium alloy market is segmented on the basis of alloy type into ferrovanadium, nitrovan, nitride vanadium and nitrate & nitrite vanadium. Ferrovanadium alloy occupied the largest market of vanadium alloy across the globe by holding more than 85% of total market share during 2017. The countries such as China, South Africa and Russia are driving the current ferrovanadium market globally. In addition to this, global ferrovanadium alloy segment is further segmented into production process and grade, out of which the production process segment is further divided into reduction by silicon, reduction by aluminum and others. The reduction by aluminum segment with more than 65% of market share in 2017 is anticipated to have largest share by the end of 2025.
The study further incorporates Y-O-Y Growth, demand & supply and forecast future opportunity in North America (United States, Canada), Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Rest of LATAM), Europe (U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Hungary, BENELUX [Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg], NORDIC [Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland], Poland, Russia, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Middle East and Africa (Israel, GCC [Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman], North Africa, South Africa, Rest of Middle East and Africa).
The global vanadium alloy market is thriving on the back of booming infrastructural development in developing economies around the world which has driven the Nitro-Vanadium industry to grow with significant pace. The boom in ferrovanadium and nitro vanadium industry is anticipated to exist for a significantly longer duration due to infrastructural growth in Middle East, Asian and other developing countries. The National Center for Biotechnology Information, USA, suggests a significant increase in usage of steel in building structures for various applications. Several governments of various countries had altered the policies and the regulations to promote non-conventional sources of energy. Since, the conventional sources require energy storage units; the application of vanadium redox flow battery in large scale energy storage units will boost the significant increase in demand for vanadium in forthcoming years.
Further, the wide scale application usage of steel in automobile industry and infrastructure development is believed to trigger the growth of the Ferro and Nitro vanadium compounds market.
The worldwide surge in the prices of vanadium due to sudden growth in demand and availability of alternatives have the potential to negatively impact the demand for vanadium alloy in upcoming years.
Some of the affluent industry leaders in the global vanadium market are Bushveld Minerals, Tremond Metals Corp., Core Metals Group, Gulf Chemical and Metallurgical Corporation, Bear Metallurgical Company, Atlantic Limited., Shenszhen Chinary Co.Ltd., Hickman, Williams & Company and Yellow Rock Resources Ltd.
Few companies have been indulged in updating their portfolio to maximize the utilization of available resources and to stretch profitability. Since vanadium electrolytes are new and had been a promising evolution in energy storage industry, companies such as Bushveld Mineral Limited and Australian Vanadium Limited expanded their product portfolio to manufacturing and installation of Vanadium Redox Flow Battery.
Moreover, other key and niche players have been indulged in updating their portfolio to maximize the utilization of available resources and to stretch profitability in order to gain competitive edge in the global vanadium alloy market.
In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
Similarly, spiked spending in the European and major Asia economics including, India, China & Japan to showcase less impact on the global demand.


Israel’s EU Pipedreams are Becoming a Reality
The discovery of a giant gas field, Tamar, off the coast of Israel in 2009 opened up a new era for the Eastern Mediterranean as an energy hot spot, but regional politics stood in the way for some years. This could be about to change. Now, with Israel and the Gulf states finding common cause against Iran, several Arab leaders are breaking longstanding diplomatic taboos on Israel. Meanwhile, Washington supports an opening of Israeli gas exploration that could help Europe diversify away from Russian imports.
Israel’s proven gas reserves are estimated at some 455 billion cubic meters (bcm), where the Eastern Mediterranean in total has about 2100 bcm of gas. The EU’s consumption of gas in 2017 was 410 bcm, meaning that Israel’s reserves are enough to supply the EU for a short-term period.
UK-listed exploration and production company Energean Oil & Gas recently made a “significant” gas discovery in the Karish North of Israel. This area has an estimated 28-42 bcm of recoverable gas. Exxon and Qatar Gas have, since 2009, discovered another giant gas field off the coast of Cyprus. Italy’s Eni has found deposits off the coast of Egypt.
Exxon is also in discussions to build a platform to expand exports of Israel’s biggest natural gas field. The liquefied natural gas (LNG) ship would allow partners to export to countries not reachable with pipelines, and avoid the need to build expensive infrastructure to connect to LNG facilities in Egypt.
Meanwhile, Cynergy Group, an investment fund based in Cyprus, is looking to spend between $5 billion and $10 billion buying natural gas assets in the region. IGI Poseidon, a 50-50 joint venture between DEPA and Edison Energia, is about to start a detailed FEED (Front End Engineering Design) study at a cost of €70 million, to look at the technical and commercial feasibility of exporting Israeli and Cypriot gas to the one global market where imports are increasing steadily – the EU.
Several alternatives are being considered by Egypt, Cyprus and Israel to transport the energy to markets in Europe. One of two competing options will likely happen: the expensive and technologically complex EastMed pipeline or Egypt’s LNG facilities, including a subsea pipeline.
Israel is pushing for the EastMed pipeline to reap political and economic dividends by having a physical connection with mainland Europe. For this purpose, Israel, Cyprus, and Greece agreed in December to conduct a feasibility test concerning the pipeline, with financial support from the EU. The project would cost over $7 billion.
Israeli and Lebanese negotiators are due to meet, with Hezbollah’s blessing, at a United Nations base to agree a delineation of their sea border. The prize is access to newly discovered Mediterranean gas fields, which can only be safely exploited once the threat of war is removed.
Egypt’s energy and mineral resources minister Tarek el-Molla has been quick to respond and promote an alternative plan. Egyptian companies have already struck a $15 billion deal for the import of Israeli natural gas. Cairo intends to attract additional resources such as Cypriot gas to become the energy and LNG hub of the region.
Israel, primarily, has been focused on Cyprus’ participation in the EastMed pipeline, because of the increased economic viability of the infrastructure due to combined Israeli and Cypriot gas resources. Tel Aviv is aware of the competing, and more favourable, Egyptian offer, compared to its relatively expensive and technically challenging proposal.
Despite ongoing negotiations with Cairo, Nicosia is also continuing its cooperation with Tel Aviv and Athens on what could become the EastMed pipeline.
The US is in favour of the EastMed pipeline, as it would provide an alternative source of energy to the EU, where currently, Russia’s gas giant Gazprom dominates the market. China also investing in the EastMed LNG sector.

Establishing the routine for your puppy’s training is important. It is crucial to begin early and allow your puppy to take regular bathroom breaks. Your puppy should have complete bladder control by the time he is five months old. Begin by taking your puppy outside to relieve itself at least once a day for 45 minutes. Then gradually increase the amount of time between breaks for potty. You should then be able to let your puppy go to sleep all night.
When calling your puppy, don’t use the name of your dog “Puppy!” Instead, use “Come!” Or “Here!” or “Here!”. Call your puppy from the floor using positive tones or encouraging sound, and a firm “NO.” When your puppy comes to you, treat it with an treat. It is important to call your dog every other day, and praise and reward your dog. Positive reinforcement is more effective for puppies Therefore, you should reward your dog for good behavior.
When you are training your puppy, be conscientious and avoid distractions, such as a busy room or an area that is busy. If your puppy is required to go outside allow him to go out and then praise him whenever he does. This will allow your puppy to learn new skills and interact with people in new locations. You can enroll your puppy in positive reinforcement training classes. These classes will teach you and your puppy how to communicate and collaborate.
Another way to train your puppy is to teach it that biting is not acceptable. Puppies are prone to using their teeth to explore their surroundings. Although it may seem cute, chewing your teeth can be dangerous. You must teach your puppy that chewing on objects is not acceptable. Your puppy should learn to stop chewing on furniture.
The time for puppy training is a crucial period for establishing a good foundation for the future. Without this base, it will be an uphill task to teach your puppy life skills in the future. If your puppy doesn’t trust you from the beginning it will struggle to master new things and obeying your commands. He’ll have trouble coming to you when called and is less likely to take his toys.
Another method used to train your puppy is lure training. This method of training uses treats as a lure. The lure functions as an attraction for your puppy’s nose. Your puppy will follow your movements when you move the lure. The lure should be small in size and of high value to ensure the best results.
Giving your puppy treats is another method to reinforce good behavior. Trainers suggest rewarding your puppy with food, but make sure it is small enough for the puppy to take in. The puppy will work harder if it receives only a small portion of food. Another important aspect is eye contact. A lot of times, puppies look away when they see someone else which is why it’s essential to maintain eye contact. You can also praise your puppy verbally or by touching him.
When you introduce your puppy to new people, it is essential to teach him how to remain and sit until they meet. This will stop your puppy from becoming confused. Also, keep your puppy away from the reach of children. It is essential to teach your puppy these commands if they are afraid of strangers. It is also crucial to start working on leash training and heel commands.
While it is important to keep your training sessions short, the goal should be to have your puppy be able to perform the same basic behavior each day. Be sure to conclude each session with a positive conclusion. The sessions should be brief and consistent since puppies have a short attention span. Consistency can be achieved by using the same hand signal and word every day. It is also beneficial to remember that puppy training is all about patience. If you are patient your puppy will learn new things and grow polite.
The beginning of the relationship between a dog and the leash is crucial. Therefore, it is important to get your puppy accustomed to walking on a leash so start with a gentle leash around the house. Ensure that the leash curves gently throughout this period.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The U.S. Navy says a recent arms seizure from small ships near war-torn Yemen netted over 2,500 Kalashnikov assault rifles.
The Navy's Bahrain-based 5th Fleet gave the updated total in a statement Wednesday. It boarded the skiff and the dhow, a traditional ship in the Persian Gulf, during a routine check in the Gulf of Aden on Aug. 28.
The Navy added: "The origin and intended destination of the skiff have not yet been determined."
In early 2016, U.S.-allied warships in the region stopped three dhows carrying thousands of Kalashnikov assault rifles as well as sniper rifles, machine guns, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, anti-tank missiles and other weapons believed bound for Yemen from Iran.


The DARPA Transformative Design TRADES program was created to develop foundational design tools that will help designers take more advantage of the capabilities of additive technology. Recently, Siemens Technology completed its work on a software project for this program. I spoke with Mark Burhop, principal investigator with the research arm of Siemens, to discuss the developments. Here are the highlights of the interview.
DARPA likes to do big things, and the organization challenged those in the program to improve software by several orders of magnitude.
One of the challenges involved developing design tools that can keep up with developments in additive manufacturing. Features like lattices and organic shapes and similar capabilities are a challenge for design software’s standard way of boundary representations.
“We were exploring a couple of things related to representing geometry,” says Burhop, “for example, should it be algorithms or geometry. The concept that we came up with was basically representing geometry with the program. And the idea behind that was rather than instantiating all the geometry that you have, we wanted to evaluate that geometry kind of lazily and locally. Contrast this with a typical representation which is all faceted and displayed.
“Lazily means you don’t have all the geometry in the computer in memory. You only create the geometry when you need it.
“Locally means that if you have a really complex part, you don’t have to have the whole part there. You only had to instantiate the piece of the part that is important at that time.
“An analogy is DNA. You can think of DNA as a program. If you’re trying to study elephants, for example, they’re huge and they take a lot of space, but the DNA of an elephant is compact. It’s the program that tells you how to create an elephant. It tells the elephant how to grow in different environments and do different things. And it’s a more concise way of passing information around or doing different things.
Expect CAD software, computing hardware, and even the design process to undergo a range of changes to keep up with additive technology. As Burhop noted, design is not just creating some CAD software today. It’s also analyzing, simulating, and optimizing a design. And even beyond that, the optimization has to take into account manufacturability.
Spreading out the design work
As designs get more complex, one approach is to spread the work among multiple CPUs and other resources.
“For example,” says Burhop, “say you have a really gigantic, complicated piece; the mass of the thing is huge, with lots of complexity. Today you would sit down and your computer would calculate all of that. But if you have a lot of geometry, you can’t do that everywhere.
“So, you would look at distributing the data across multiple CPUs, multiple computers, so that each little piece can be calculated. One takes care of a corner, the other one takes care of the middle, the other takes care of the other corner. And then at the end you put it all together. Same thing with simulation and optimization.
“I think maybe the future is not so much CAD on a single platform, but an interface that reaches out to a scalable computer that’s out on the cloud or some high-performance cluster or something like that.”
Better work with multiple materials
There are different definitions of topology optimization, generative design, and lattice optimization, and so on. Burhop sees generative design as things being developed with a computer, and topology optimization is a piece of generative design. Other pieces could also include lattices.
One of the more interesting areas for Burhop is exploring topology optimization and multiple materials, “which is one of the hopefully future promises of additive, where you can start mixing materials, have greater material choices, and so on.
“Color as a property is nice, but as a mechanical engineer, we want to change stiffness, and we want to change durability, and lots of other things there.”
Lattices can sometimes be thought of as kind of a meta-material–an architected material–where you have some material properties that are different than the actual material. If you have a lattice in metal as a bulk property, you’d have different material properties than the actual metal.
Now, as you start to do some topology optimization and you think about different material properties in different points in the design, you can start to think about how those points could be different materials, but it could also be different lattices or lattice types that you do.
If you can’t have multiple materials to really control the material properties, lattices are a nice way to use a single material and still get that variation of material properties in.
When you talk about design space, all the things you could possibly do for a design, it really opens things up a lot, especially as additive grows and design technology grows, where you’re able to specify them to your properties that you need, notes Burhop.
Advances in software
With additive development, it’s three things: machines, materials and software. Development has been ongoing with machines and materials, and now software is in focus.
Topology optimization is a good example, because it doesn’t fit well with sheet metal bending or other traditional manufacturing processes. But if you want to manufacture an additive part, it’s great. Topology optimization and additive go together really well. I think the same thing with lattices and any kind of complicated geometry. I think these needs are really where the software is going to shine.
Burhop and his group spent some time looking into lattice software with the TRADES grant. “A lot of the lattice software that you look at right now tends to be with lattice shapes that are very regular. They’ve got these unit cells and it’s just a copy of the unit cells all the way around.
“Whereas what we will do, (we don’t call them unit cells) but if you think of unit cells, we could have them warping and changing and wrapping around things and doing all kinds of amazing things, where the geometry is not the same from place to place. So, there’s some powerful things that are out there that can be done.
“Now it’s still research. But better software is coming. It’s just a question of customer demand, and you know how it goes with CAD companies. I’m on the research side. For me, it can’t come fast enough, but a lot depends on how quickly customers need things like that and how quickly they push it.
“But there’s a lot of need for lattice design features in software, especially in aerospace, and the space industry right now. If you can reduce weight on things, it’s a huge, huge saving. Other things like protective equipment, your helmets in the NFL or if you ride bicycles, or even your shoes, you see a lot of lattices. Conformal lattices made out of new materials, especially polymers, are getting to be really popular. Vibration dampening, I could go on with several other examples.”
In shoes you don’t necessarily have to fill in the space. The bottom of the shoe would be solid and maybe the support above is solid, but the lattice can kind of flow through.
You may have spaces between the inner shell of a rocket and the outer shell where there might be a lot of vibration. You can absorb a lot of the vibration that way using lattices.
Heat sinks and other places where you want to conduct heat, but you also want to take advantage of convection as well can use lattices in the design.
Burhop echoes what many engineers want when it comes to additive technology, more types of materials, more accuracy, and more predictability in the parts.
“There’s a lot of work being done on simulation of different processes and being able to predict what your final shape is going to be. I’m hoping that continues and starts to really improve so that we can take advantage of the flexibility of additive manufacturing.
The group where Burhop works at Siemens Technology is focused on research and support of the company’s other business units, as well as support for DARPA, Department of Energy, America Makes, and others.
“What we try to do is bring the technology from what would be a low readiness level to the point where it can be used in the real world by real manufacturers and real product designers.

The Ministry of Health (Minsa) organized the 2nd Multidisciplinary International Congress on Non-Communicable Smoking and Diseases to promote tobacco consumption prevention among the population.
Through this activity, Minsa was considering the training of its collaborators, a thousand technicians and three hundred administrative staff, "to improve the knowledge and skills of medical staff for the comprehensive management of smoking, its prevention and control," as shown in a Press release. .
In order to increase awareness through continuous education for the entity's professionals, parallel action has been taken in this scientific convention "to stimulate the interest in giving up smoking to tobacco consumers, as well as to create the public's awareness of the harm that causes the use of the cigarette in the human being ", with the performance of some activities such as: Photo Contest, Painting Contest, Clinical Case Contest, Research Contest, Troubadour Contest, Regional Contest Contest, under the motto of El Tabaco hearts, choose health. "
According to MINSA, Panama has a comprehensive tobacco control policy for more than 10 years since it is part of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) since 2004, the implementation of which is based on the application of various national regulations, to resolutions on laws, as in Law 13 of January 24, 2008.
Some important aspects of the legal regulation on tobacco control include: offering smoking cessation programs, 100% smoke-free enclosures (bars, pubs, etc.), including health warnings, pictograms and texts in cigarette packs , raising the tax on cigarettes (of which a percentage is transferred to the Ministry of Health for the prevention and treatment of smoking and associated diseases).


Associate editor JR Sullivan wrote “The Vanishing” (p. 64), a tragic story about a father and son who got lost while hunting. Only one of them was found. How’d you find the story? JRS:
I read about it in a local paper, but the story was short and didn’t talk about what the family was going through. As a hunter, I couldn’t help but imagine myself in the same scenario, and I had a hunch that there was a lot more to the story. Once the interviews started, it quickly became apparent that the family wanted to tell everyone how great Shawn was, to honor him.
Have you ever been lost? real
JRS: Not in any way.
I’ve gotten turned around, and that’s unnerving enough. I can’t fathom what it must have been like for Trevor, lost in that big wilderness. I’d be out of my mind.
What about the family struck you the most?
JRS: They’re tough as hell. I think a lot of people in their situation would have withered, but the Higginses are fighters.

Transportation secretary under Reagan dies
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Drew Lewis, a businessman who served as U.S. transportation secretary under President Ronald Reagan during the 1981 air traffic controllers' strike, has died at age 84.
Lewis, who lived on a farm in Lower Salford, in the Philadelphia suburbs, died Wednesday in Prescott, Arizona, of complications from pneumonia, said his son, Andy Lewis.
As transportation secretary, Lewis was the Republican administration's chief representative in a bitter labor dispute with the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization. Reagan fired 11,400 members of the union for mounting an illegal strike.
Lewis later became CEO of Omaha, Nebraska-based transportation company Union Pacific Corp., guiding its merger with the Southern Pacific and the Chicago and North Western railroads.
Lewis, sworn in as the nation's seventh secretary of transportation in January 1981, worked to divest the government of the Conrail freight line in the Northeast and cut Amtrak's budget, believing buses and planes were more cost-effective than trains. He also trimmed transit operating subsidies and argued for shifting more responsibility for bridges and highways to the states.
But his tenure also saw the first federal gasoline tax increase in more than 20 years, the nickel hike providing funds for infrastructure improvements, including mass transit projects. In backing the increase, Reagan described it as a "user fee" rather than a tax since it was part of the cost of gasoline.
Lewis, in 1986, three years after resigning his Cabinet post, was granted an honorary degree during commencement at Haverford College, which was founded by Quakers. He took off the academic hood and returned the degree because of protests from the faculty, telling the crowd he was acting out of respect for the college's Quaker principle of consensus.
He was a lifelong friend of Richard S. Schweiker, who was Reagan's secretary of health and human services and, before that, a congressman and two-term U.S. senator. Lewis managed most of Schweiker's campaigns, ran Gerald Ford's presidential primary campaign in Pennsylvania in 1976 and advised Reagan in the 1980 presidential campaign.
In 1974, Lewis ran for governor, but he lost to incumbent Milton Shapp, a Democrat. He attributed the loss to a Watergate-era backlash against Republicans.
Earlier, he amassed a fortune as a businessman. From 1960 to 1969, he worked for American Olean Tile Inc., founded by Schweiker's father. He later ran Simplex Wire and Cable Co. and Snelling & Snelling Inc., an employment agency, before launching his own consulting firm, Lewis & Associates.
Lewis became chairman and chief executive officer of Warner Amex Cable Communications Inc. after leaving government.
