A proposal, put forth by Oman government’s advisory body Shura Council, to impose a tax on remittances sent by expats to their home countries was rejected by the state’s economic committee, local media reported.
“The Majlis Al Shura’s proposal to impose a tax on remittances by expatriates was rejected at the State Council,” Salim bin Said Al Ghatami, the head of the economic committee at the State Council, was quoted as saying in Times of Oman.
“It is not the right time to impose a tax just on working expatriates. It’s not practical. It doesn’t go well with trade practices.”
He added that imposition of such a tax could also impact investment prospects in the Sultanate.
Al Ghatami also said that if the government wanted to stop the rate of outflow of money, then it should devise measures to make expats spend that in the domestic economy rather than levying taxes.
The recommendations of the state’s economic committee will now be send to higher authorities for a final review to decide if they wanted to impose the tax or not.
Oman, which ran a small budget surplus this year could likely run into a deficit in 2015 due to the plummeting oil prices.
In an effort to counter it, the Gulf country has been looking to boost its non-oil revenues through a slew of spending cuts and tax increases.
An introduction of a two per cent tax on expat remittances back to their home countries was one of the many reforms suggested by the government’s advisory body, the Shura Council, to increase revenues. If introduced, it will generate about OMR62 million for Oman’s economy.
The Sultanate, which is expected to announce its budget for the next year on Thursday, is also looking to introduce reforms such as a royalty on telecom operators, a “fair tax” on LNG exports, and an increase in royalties paid for mineral exploitation.
Spending cuts are important for Oman, which has less oil and gas reserves compared to its GCC neighbours, and is thus more vulnerable to the fluctuating oil prices.

The Hanoi People’s Council has approved a plan to expand the capital city’s total area to over thrice its current size by absorbing neighboring districts.
If the central government approves the plan, Hanoi’s population would nearly double.
Under the plan, the capitol city – currently 920 square kilometers in size – would merge with the entire Ha Tay Province, Vinh Phuc.
Province’s Me Linh District and four communes in Hoa Binh Province’s Luong Son District to encompass over 3,300 square kilometers.
The Hanoi People’s Committee will deliver the resolution to the central government and the National Assembly for a final decision.
Committee Chairman Nguyen The Thao said that Hanoi was not only a political, administrative and cultural hub, but also an important economic center.
The city therefore needed more room to build new urban areas, he said.
Thao also said that according the plan, the 526-hectare West Lake area would replace the 63-hectare Hoan Kiem Lake neighborhood the city’s downtown.
People’s Council representative Thich Bao Nghiem suggested that measures to preserve handicraft villages and cultural values be adhered to amid urbanization and expansion.
Under the plan, Hanoi’s population would jump from 3.4 million to an estimated six million people.

We visit what may be the world’s largest naturist / nudist destination, located on the western coast of France. This is the first part of several (plus a bonus or two) we’ll be bringing you from Euronat.
Up first, we rent a car in Bordeaux and head to the coast where we stay at Euronat for three amazing days. Join us as we take a tour of our AirBnB, prepare lunch, and head to the beach all clothes-free!
We discuss how freeing Euronat is and how France is a fantastic place to experience naturism as there are so many options. We’ve found that much of the stigma and sexualization surrounding simple nudity (like found in the U.S.) has no place in France.
Our visit to Euronat was truly amazing and gave us a sense of freedom like we’ve never experienced before. We’re thrilled to bring you along.

The National Anti-Corruption Alliance says it is launching a ‘Pay Back Our Money’ campaign in which it wants every Malawian to champion in order to recover public funds that have been plundered in the recent past.
The alliance, which is a consortium of four institutions namely Malawi Law Society, Youth and Society, CHRR and Church and Society of the Livingstonia Synod, has further called on the judiciary to establish a special financial crimes court to expedite all corruption and plunder of public resource related cases.
Speaking to journalists in Mzuzu, Executive Director for Church and Society of the Livingstonia Synod Moses Mkandawire observed that arrests alone are not enough but that all those found guilty to have been involved in the malpractice, should pay back what they robbed Malawians.
It has been discovered that the country was looted off billions of kwachas in tax payer monies by the previous DPP led government.
The police,Fiscal police and the anti Corruption Beureu are currently investigating several money laundering sagas involving senior Parastatals CEOs and heads of statutory bodies engulfed in the plundering of government resources.
Several arrests have been made so far to the suspects though are regarding them as political motivated atrocities.

The basic principle of the Marx generator is the best way of charging a number of capacitors in parallel and discharge them in series. Generally, these generators consist of a N number of modules where each module consists of N number of sub modules. Then each module consists of a set of two registers and capacitors. These Marx generators are mainly works as a high voltage impulse for testing when the voltage levels required higher than the required supply voltage.
Marx generators are originally described by E. Marx in the year of 1924. Normally Marx generators are used in the high energy physical equipment and also in the power line gear and aviation equipment’s.This article discusses about the Marx generator design, principles and developments.
Marx Generator Design Principles & Latest Developments
The circuit generates the high voltage pulse by connecting the capacitors in parallel and connecting in the series of capacitors in the circuit. Normally ‘N’ number of capacitors are charged in parallel to the voltage (v) connected in series with the resistance Rc. In this operation the circuit acts as an open circuit when all the capacitors are charged. When the sparks gap uses a switch which has the voltage (v) across them, but these sparks gaps are having breakdown voltages greater than the normal voltages. To generate the output pulses at the first spark gap causes breakdown effectively to short the gap when placing the first two series applying a 2 volt placing the first two capacitors there in the series then applying voltage of the second spark gap consequently. The second gap is consequently add the third capacitor to stack and the process continues to break down all of the gaps. The last gap is connected to the output of the series stack of capacitors to the load circuit.
Ideally the output voltages will be nV, The number of the capacitor times can be connected for charging voltages, But in practice, the value is less. So none of these charging resisters RC is subjected to more than the charging voltages, But in the practice the value is less. None of the charging capacitors even when the capacitors have been erected. The charge available is limited to the charge of the capacitors. So the output is a brief pulse as the capacitor discharge though the load. If spark gap is not conducting then the output voltages will be increasing.
The total circuit depends on the connected capacitor ratings and the timing will be discharged. The switching pulses can be depends on the doping times of the electrons.
Design Enhancements and Considerations
Constant Current Source
Marx generator is charged from the constant voltage source, The energy is dissipated to the charging resisters and that will be equal to that stored in the max capacitors. If the bank is charged with constant current source, this energy loss can be substantially reduced by using the constant current source.
Integrating the Wave Shaping into the Generator
In this mode of operation of the capacitor discharges from the impulse generator, The shape of the pulse is controlled by external impedances at the output of the pulse generator. When the voltage gets higher its difficult to get practical resistors with low parasitic inductance that will also stand the full impulse voltage. The usual remedy for this is to include the wave shaping resistors in the Marx generator.Integrating the wave shaping into the generator illustrated in the following fig.
Reducing the jitter
If the gap in the Marx generator doesn’t fire exactly at the same time, The leading edge of the impulse will have steps and glitches as the gaps fire. These delays also result in a longer rise time of the impulse. If the jitter in the gaps is reduced, then the overall performance is improved.
The traditional Marx generator operates in the air. It has all the gaps in a line with the electrodes operating horizontally opposed to the electron beam. These systems allow the UV from bottom gap to irradiate from upper gaps. This type of operation is used for reducing the normal jitter. Reported in Crags and Meek showed that obstructing the UV led to greatly increased to the jitter, Which they attribute to the lack of UV irradiation to the upper gaps.
When the Marx generator is immersed in oil to enclosed spark gaps. Resistors or capacitors to the networks can be used to propagate the trigger pulse to all the gaps, rather than relying on the over voltage of the upper gaps to the fire. For these purposes a design from Maxwell labs uses a series of resistors to apply the trigger impulse to all the gaps.
Laser Irradiation and Triggering the Goods
These Crags and Meek is also report and use of radioactive sources included within the gap of electrodes to reduce the jitter.
Other Switching Devices
Marx generator has been used to generate impulses of several kilovolts from a relatively low charging source using avalanche transistors as a switching devices instead of a spark gap of devices. In this application, the resistors need to be chosen to keep the transistor is turned on.
Alternate Charging Schemes
Particularly for a lower output voltage of the Marx generators, capacitors can be charged in parallel from a common source through a series resistor or an inductor. The charging impedance has to withstand the full output voltage for this top stage. This is a solid state Marx generator running at a few KV. This isn’t as much of a problem as it would be for a megavolt range lightning impulse simulator.
Applications of the Marx Generator
Box Switching Operation
Box switching is one of the application of Marx generator and it is also called as a boxcar switching of a pockels cell. Four Marx generators are used in this application, two electrodes of the Pockels cells being connected to a positive pulse generator and another one is a negative pulse Marx generator. Two generators are having opposite polarity, in that one of the electrode is first fired to charge the Pockels cell into one charging polarity. These techniques are used to charge the two generators, but not trigger them to the pulses of each generator, Because they needed only partly charged and leak through the Marx resistors which needs to be compensated by a small bias current through the generator. At the trailing edge of the boxcar, the two other generators are fired to “reverse” the cell.
Marx generators are used to provide high voltage pulses for the testing of insulation of an electrical apparatus such as large power transformers or Insulators used for supporting power transmission lines. The voltages applied may exceed two million volts for high-voltage apparatus of the Marx generators.
Operation of Low Jitter for Pulse Synchronization
The low temporal jitter of the impulse Marx generator may be required for multi source applications or timing applications. Marx generator is a variable candidate for phased array systems, low jitter must be reduced to a small fraction of pulse width of 200 ns to the 1ns impulse signal. The main function of this low jitter to be achieved for multiple pulse addition circuits such as Gatling systems and bi static radar systems applications.
Based on the closure of the trigger switch, the reflected pulse of -1/2 the spark gap-charge voltage and a length is twice of the charged transmission line propagates toward the spark gap, as shown in Figure. Arriving at the end of the trigger pin, the pulse doubles in magnitude, resulting in a potential of minus one-half the charge voltage. This results in a highly distorted field between the electrodes due to the presence of the sharp pin at the negative potential.
The low jitter performance is measured using the three Marx generator system is described. Each Marx generator is connected to a common trigger circuit, This is a krytron-based circuit designed to hold off 15KW. These Marx generator is normally connected to a single output transmission line. We connect temporally because we have to separate the individual pulses, The trigger lines are connected to each Marx generator to the trigger circuit that are unique in the same length.
Generation of UWB Signals
The impulse Marx generator was tested for its ability to directly generate microwave energy in the form of an UWB signal. The Marx generator directly drives a rudimentary TEM horn antenna signal. Generally it measures 100meters from the source, For example an EMCO 3106 antenna was used for radiate measurements. Additional measurements were made with a crystal detector.
Single Pulse System with BWO
In this application we are using a narrow band Marx generator, used to drive the cathode of a Russian made BWO. It was measured in Texas tech university. The max generator directly groove the cathode and was temporarily aligned with the magnetic field pulse. An Uncalibrated, b-dot probe was used to monitor the generated signal as well as the Uncalibrated integrated B-dot probe is used to monitor the generated signal, then as well as a florescent witness plate.
Now the BWO was designed to deliver a 35 Hz signal within a 3-4ns. The system is delivered to appear a 20ns window of microwave energy that was approximated to be 30 MW in peak power. This power delivers at TM0 mode of the BWO. The BWO delivered a TM01 mode.
The three Marx generator is orthogonally connected to the common transition line, And for the purpose of demonstrating the generator have a common trigger system. A capacitive voltage probe is placed at the trigger input of Marx generator, and a current viewing resistor is placed at the output of a common transmission line system. So each of the generator will be designed to deliver a 140 KW pulse with sub Nano sec rise time.
The output of the current viewing resistor demonstrates the system’s ability to generate three district high voltage pulse, each having an amplitude excess of 125kv range.
The Gatling Marx generator system was connected to the TEM horn used to earlier in this Marx generated system. Now we have to take precautions were taken to ensure the antenna did not break down during the first pulse, so later pulse would be radiated.
High Voltage Based On Marx Generator Principle Using MOSFETs
This project is designed to develop a circuit to deliver the o/p around triple to that of the i/p voltage based on the principle of Marx generator. This project generates high-voltage pulses using multiple capacitors in parallel to charge during the on time, and then connected in series to develop a high voltage during the off time. When the i/p voltage is applied around 12v volts DC, then the o/p will be around 36 volts DC.
This project uses a 555 timer in the mode of astable, which sends the clock pulses to charge the capacitors which are connected in parallel during ON time & the capacitors are brought in a series during the OFF time via MOSFET switches; and hence, develops a voltage around triple to the input voltage but little less, instead of actual voltage(36V) due to the drop of the voltage in the circuit. The o/p voltage can be calculated by using a multimeter.
Thus, this is all about Marx Generator Design Principles and Developments, applications of Marx generator.Furthermore, any queries regarding this topic or electrical and electronic projects please give your feedback by commenting in the comment section below.

Fujisaki and Reich (1997) assessed the contribution of the Special Programme for Analysis and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) to the development of ivermectin for the treatment of onchocerciasis. Researchers have clearly clarified that Ivermection should not be used on coronavirus patients until additional testing is completed. Despite a majority of proof displaying hydroxychloroquine is just not an effective COVID-19 treatment, there was a rush on that drug earlier this 12 months after President Donald Trump called it a cure. Micromolar cell-assay activity can definitely be real, but you’d generally need extra potency than that as you move in vivo. If this is actual, it should undoubtedly show in the other trials which might be underway. Such a method might work if the sponsors of different medication are companions who're willing to share credit. Until 1987, suramin and diethylcarbamazine have been the one medicine accessible for the therapy of onchocerciasis and they could not cheap stromectol au no prescription be used for group therapy due to their toxicity and the dosage schedules required. Different milestones in Mectizan therapy included the institution, in 1992, of the Onchocerciasis Elimination Program for the Americas, and the creation of the African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) in 1995, the latter programme overlaying all African countries in need exterior of the OCP space.
The MDP experience could explain the current advent of different drug donation programmes, together with Glaxo SmithKline and the how to buy stromectol best price no prescription duty Power for Little one Survival and Growth with the donation of malarone for treatment of malaria in drug resistant areas; Glaxo SmithKline and WHO with the donation of albendazole for the elimination of lymphatic filariasis, Pfizer and the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation with the donation of azithromycin for therapy of trachoma. Ivermectin has been authorized by the US Meals and Drug Administration (FDA) for remedy of onchocerciasis (river blindness) and strongyloidiasis, however will not be FDA-accredited for the therapy of any viral infection. Such improvements are seen extra rapidly when Mectizan is used than when onchocerciasis is proscribed by vector management alone. Bottom Line: Like a lot of the opposite research reviewed on this put up, the findings are attention-grabbing, however a RCT of 24 wholesome patients, with out comorbid disease, with no enhancements in patient-oriented outcomes (i.e. mortality, development of illness) doesn't justify early adoption of Ivermectin. Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious illness expert at Johns Hopkins College, mentioned many of the research round ivermectin for the time being is made up of anecdotes and research that aren't the gold commonplace by way of how to use ivermectin. The scope of this evaluation did not permit for direct comparisons with other public-personal partnerships or illness control programmes. It is unlikely that the MDP would have turn into as profitable as it https://www.fivelstee.nl/is-ivermectin-cream-safe-for-humans has been if the control programmes themselves were not well-managed and in a position to learn from the advantageous technical options of ivermectin. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has dropped https://nucapsystems.com/stromectol-haittavaikutukset its advice in opposition to the cheap antiparasitic drug ivermectin for therapy of COVID-19, and the agency now advises it can't advocate for or against its use, leaving the choice to physicians and their patients.
To assess the efficacy of ivermectin as well as to standard remedy in contrast to plain treatment alone in reducing hospitalizations in the COVID-19 affected person population. 3) Within the case of ladies of childbearing age, they must be using a contraceptive methodology of proven efficacy and security (barrier, hormonal, or permanent contraceptives) for at the least three months previous to inclusion in the present study and for the whole period of time during the study and until at the least 30 days after the top of this research. The researchers, however, cautioned that the exams performed in the research had been in vitro, and human trials are still needed to determine the efficacy and security of the drug against the coronavirus. But since denguevirus can how to buy stromectol best price no prescription also be a single-strand positive-sense RNA virus, Ivermectin has come up as a attainable coronavirus drug, mechanism or not. So what is this compound doing within the information with the coronavirus? It’s onerous to imagine that it’s a secure compound if you actually have to push the concentrations to even within binocular distance of those in vitro levels. They have been additionally plastic sufficient to be understood in different ways by the assorted stakeholders, yet nonetheless have a typical id and supply some distance to the primary stakeholders.

Hemp and marijuana are cousins in the plant world, but marijuana has a much higher THC content than hemp. Hemp oil contains low levels of CBD – typically less than 25 parts per million – while CBD oil can be up to 15% CBD. Because the plants are related, some unscrupulous sellers of hemp oil are trying to market it for its medicinal value, which is negligible.

Depending on your metabolism and what you’re hoping to improve, you may need a vastly different serving size than the next person to experience the positive effects of CBD. Serving sizes can vary dramatically, because there’s simply no one-size-fits-all CBD dosage.
A small medical research study took a small group (24 people) who suffer from social anxiety and gave them 600mg of Cannabidiol or placebo. The study wanted to see if CBD has any effect on people with a fear of public speaking. The Cannabidiol group performed significantly better than the placebo group. The CBD group had less anxiety and less cognitive impairment. Also, the CBD group was happier. Cannabidiol has also shown great promise helping children with PTSD. And it has also been said CBD has almost antidepressant qualities.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis, and causes the sensation of getting “high” that’s often associated with marijuana. However, unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive.

There have been multiple clinical trials demonstrating the efficacy of nabiximols on central and peripheral neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer pain.xxiii In addition, nabiximols is currently approved in Canada for the treatment of central neuropathic pain in MS and cancer pain unresponsive to opioid therapy. However, the current evidence suggests that the analgesia is mediated by THC and it is unclear whether CBD contributes to the therapeutic effects.xxiv THC alone has been shown to reduce pain;xxv,xxvi we are unaware of clinical studies that have explored the efficacy of CBD alone on pain. However, the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD (discussed above) could be predicted to play a role in the analgesic effects of nabiximols. Recent research has also suggested that cannabinoids and opioids have different mechanisms for reducing pain and that their effects may be additive, which suggests that combination therapies may be developed that may have reduced risks compared to current opioid therapies. However, this work is very preliminary.xxvii
Nabiximols (brand name Sativex) is an aerosolized mist for oral administration containing a near 1:1 ratio of CBD and THC. The drug was approved by Canadian authorities in 2005 to alleviate pain associated with multiple sclerosis. It is also prescribed in Sweden.
CBD has also been shown to have neuroprotective properties in cell cultures as well as in animal models of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s,xii,xiii,xiv stroke,xv glutamate toxicity,xvi multiple sclerosis (MS),xvii Parkinson’s disease,xviii and neurodegeneration caused by alcohol abuse.xix Nabiximols (trade name Sativex), which contains THC and CBD in roughly equal proportions, has been approved throughout most of Europe and in a number of other countries for the treatment of spasticity associated with MS. It has not been approved in the United States, but clinical trials are ongoing, and two recent studies reported that nabiximols reduced the severity of spasticity in MS patients.xx,xxi There have been limited clinical trials to assess the potential efficacy of CBD for the other indications highlighted; however, a recent small double-blind trial in patients with Parkinson’s disease found the CBD improved quality-of-life scores.xxii
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the 400+ ingredients found in marijuana and is not psychoactive. Many states have passed laws allowing for the use of a CBD extract, usually in oil form, with minimal tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and often for the treatment of epilepsy or seizures in seriously ill children.

After the first day of taking it I woke up the next morning NOT needing a pain pill as I normally do just to get out of bed. I felt amazing!! I try to take it regularly (I can’t stand the taste) because I know it works. I say, if Hemp oil works it’s a good brand, if it doesn’t, either try another or move on to CBD oil.

The World Health Organisation has stated depression as the most significant disability in the world and anxiety ranks 6th. We all know anxiety and depression are typically treated with pharmaceutical drugs. These drugs often come with unwanted side effects like insomnia, sexual dysfunction, drowsiness and these are just a few of them. Furthermore, and probably the worst effect of these pharmaceutical drugs is people become dependent upon them. This dependency is severe and unwanted by most people suffering from anxiety or depression, but something that’s unavoidable.
This normal-strength CBD oil is super easy to use thanks to its innovative spray bottle design. No more counting drops; instead, just two quick sprays on your tongue is all you need. A great entry-level product for the healthy skeptic, it comes in three flavors, and each bottle contains 80 servings.
17 states have approved the use of low THC, high CBD products for medical reasons in limited situations. Each state has specific requirements and conditions that need to be followed in order to use CBD legally, such as patient registry requirements and definitions of products that are allowed.
I am realively new to this product. And I have not been disappointed. It is starti g to help with the intense chronic back and leg pain after a failed fusion and a high frequency internal tens unit. The doctors took me off codeine cold turkey because “narcotics are only for cancer and end of life pain” after being on them for more than a decade. Not cool….Tizanadiene just does not cut it. I am finally startING to notice a change with patience. It’s taken a couple months and dosage adjustments but stay the course my friends. It WILL HELP!!! Same as one of the fellas prior to my post this is the only company I have used and if it ain’t broke…the customer service is way beyond and above par. My last bottle came with a sticker from the post office saying they damaged my package. You could clearly see where the oil seal had broken and saturated through envelope. I sent pictures with a fb msg to them on Saturday when I recieved it. Monday not only did I get a first thing reply stating they would send out replacement but also a phone call to make sure all was taken care of for me. You don’t find that kind of customer service ANYWHERE these days. So thank you for your product, you attention to detail for customer care and a great product. You have a lif long customer!
Research is beginning to show that CBD is different than other well-studied cannabinoids. All cannabinoids act as ligands, meaning they dock onto the binding site of a protein and have the ability to modulate a receptor’s behavior. CB1 receptors are widely distributed, but are particularly abundant in areas of the brain, including those concerned with movement, coordination, pain and sensory perception, emotion, memory, cognition, autonomic and endocrine functions. (2)
Much more research is needed, he says, to establish whether CBD works, and if so for what conditions, but he understands that severely ill patients, or their parents, may not want to wait for this data: “If other drugs don’t work, it’s certainly reasonable to try this.”
Generally speaking, most marijuana producers and sellers (especially on the black market) don’t test for contaminants (metals, pesticides, bacteria, etc.). Rick Simpson Hemp Oil is actually more a method of extraction than it is a specific product. People use the Rick Simpson method with hundreds of different strains of marijuana, so the THC, CBD and other cannabinoid content of the final oil always vary greatly, depending on the cannabis the consumers are acquiring. Usually what’s used for Rick Simpson oil is a strain with an inferior CBD content (and high THC), because that’s what the vast amount of marijuana is nowadays.
Tinctures are the most popular form of CBD oil products—and we stock a range of options in our online store—but this tincture from Herbal Renewals stands apart from the rest due to its high-quality ingredients, effectiveness, and ease of use.
I have seen many different name brands but I really don’t want to waste time experimenting with different types of oils or spend money only to find out they are not affective for meeting my child’s needs.
The compound has also shown promise in treating anxiety, depression and schizophrenia. Much of this work has been in rats and mice, but several studies have found benefits for humans. For instance, German researchers showed in 2012 that giving CBD to schizophrenic patients reduced psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and disordered thinking.
Social anxiety disorder. Some early research shows that taking cannabidiol 300 mg daily does not improve anxiety in people with social anxiety disorder. But other early research suggests that taking a higher dose (400-600 mg) may improve anxiety associated with public speaking or medical imaging test in people with SAD.

It used to be thought that CBD acts on these CB2 receptors, but it appears now that CBD does not act on either receptor directly. Instead, it seems to influence the body to use more of its own cannabinoids.

Nonprofit aims to help city youth in more ways
By DEBORAH HIRSCH
More than two decades ago, a faith-based nonprofit called UrbanPromise opened a small summer camp in Camden. Over 22 years, the ministry grew to include private K-12 schools, job training, outdoor clubs and a host of other recreational and educational programs -- all free or heavily subsidized for Camden youth. Now, the organization is hoping to expand even more by soliciting help from South Jersey businesses. The "Make A Promise. Keep A Promise" campaign launched last week aims to raise $2 million in corporate sponsorship over the next three years and encourage suburban employees to volunteer in mentoring programs. Frank Beideman, vice president of resource development for the Pennsauken-based Holman Automotive Group, is spearheading the initiative. On Thursday, he presented it to 46 auto outfitters, lawyers, construction company owners and other business leaders gathered at one of his company's car dealerships in Mount Laurel. Beideman said he was eager to support the ministry because he's seen firsthand how it helps Camden children succeed. His family began mentoring high school students in an UrbanPromise lunch club five years ago. "All the revenue that is generated really goes to the kids of Camden," Beideman said. "We really think that's a great cause."About 500 children ages 5 to 18 participate in UrbanPromise programs during the school year, and more during the summer, said president Bruce Main. UrbanPromise teens graduate at twice the rate of their public school counterparts and 95 percent of them attend college, he said. Recently, the ministry trained interns from around the world to run affiliated programs in Malawi and Honduras. UrbanPromise branches also have opened in Wilmington, Del.; Toronto and Vancouver. "Besides the local impact, what we're trying to do is identify young entrepreneurs that have a heart for Christian youth development," Main explained. Right now, 80 percent of UrbanPromise's $3.2 million annual budget comes from individual donations, Main said. Corporate giving made up less than 8 percent, or under $300,000, last year, he said. Additional donations would allow them to ensure that programs that cost a lot to run, such as summer part-time jobs, can continue operating and possibly expand, he said. Albert Vega, who oversees one of the organization's six sites throughout the city, said there are thousands more children in Camden that the ministry has yet to reach. He's praying for funding to renovate the rundown East Camden building where he supervises after-school programs, which would open up a large multipurpose room that's been off limits because of safety concerns. On Friday, fifth-graders careened around a dim downstairs classroom, pumped up for a special pizza party. Basketballs thudding on the gym floor above added to the racket. "Every day I get kids asking if they can come to the program but I've got to turn them down because of space or finances," Vega said. Vega, 24, grew up along with the ministry. The North Camden native began attending UrbanPromise summer camps at age six, participated in its newly minted after-school programs and later was hired to work as a camp counselor and tutor. During high school, he took college test prep courses through the agency and went on a weeklong bus tour of 25 universities along the East Coast. "They gave me a view that the world is a lot bigger than just Camden," he said. "It was a ministry of encouragement." He came back to work for UrbanPromise full-time after graduating from Eastern University. Now, he said, he's the encouragement, the proof, that Camden kids can go on to attend college and get good jobs. Beideman said he's already heard from five people interested in serving on a committee to lay out strategies for building corporate partnerships. In addition to financial contributions, Beideman said the committee will encourage local businesses to get involved with UrbanPromise in other ways, perhaps by volunteering directly or offering internships to the youth. "Even though the economy's bad, there's a tremendous amount of kindness in this area," he said. "If we can show and convince the businesspeople in this area what UrbanPromise does with the kids in the area, I think it's a slam dunk." Bill Emerson, co-owner of Emerson Personnel Group, a staffing and recruiting company in Cherry Hill, said Thursday's presentation hit home. He plans to join the committee. "You don't realize what these children in Camden are going through," Emerson said. "Then you see the kids who've gone through the UrbanPromise program and how successful they are now. It was just a great story. You couldn't help but walk out of there saying, "How can I help?' "

I enjoyed very much the novel by Pat Barker that precedes this one, The Silence of the Girls. It was the story of Achilles at Troy told by Briseis, one of the women captured in the siege of Troy and the surrounding countryside. Later, though, when I read a criticism that a novel supposedly about the Trojan women was mostly about Achilles and Patroclus, I had to agree.
At first, The Women of Troy didn’t seem to have much to add. It takes up the story with the Trojan horse and the fall of Troy. Achilles’ son Pyrrhus is the focus of this novel, a young man trying to live up to his father who is very unstable. However, we do see more of the women, and besides the characters Barker has invented, we find out about Hecuba, Andromache, and Cassandra, the royal women.
Still, although I found The Women of Troy mildly interesting, I don’t think it added very much to the original story. It covers a period when the Greeks are stranded by a fierce wind on the shores of Troy so cannot go home until they bury Priam’s body and the wind breaks.
The Silence of the Girls
The Song of Achilles
House of Names
Fictionalizing ancient stories and myths seems to be popular now. I have read a few of these novels, including The Song of Achilles, Madeline Miller’s novel about the Trojan War. That novel focused on the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus. Although The Silence of the Girls is also partially about them, it is from a point of view heretofore unexamined, that of the Trojan women taken as slaves by the Greeks during the war. It is narrated mostly by Briseis.
Depending upon how well you know your Iliad, you may remember that Briseis is the woman awarded to Achilles who is later taken away by Agamemnon when he is forced to give up Chryseis. It is Achilles’s forced forfeiture of Briseis that leads him to sulk in his tent while the other Greeks are being slaughtered.
The novel begins with the fall of the Trojan city Lyrnessus, of which Briseis is the young queen. Achilles is called “the butcher” by the Trojans, and the women wait in fear when the citadel falls, knowing their boys will be murdered along with the pregnant women, and girls as young as nine will be raped and enslaved. Briseis is awarded to Achilles, whom she hates and fears.
As the story of the war progresses, Barker builds a nuanced portrait of Achilles, his anger at Agamemnon, his Oedipal relationship with his goddess mother Thetis, his friendship with Patroclus. Although Achilles is not a sympathetic character, Briseis eventually becomes conflicted about him.
This is an interesting and affecting novel. It is completely unlike the only other novel I have read by Barker, but it makes me want to continue seeking out her books.
The Song of Achilles
House of Names
I know I’ve talked about this before, but I find it interesting to see what the blurb writer finds to comment about a book versus the book itself. In the case of Toby’s Room, the blurb says something about a family torn apart by war. Well, World War I begins well into the novel, and the family is fairly well torn apart already.
The novel begins in 1912 when, in a weekend break from Slade, where Elinor is an art student, her relationship with her older brother Toby undergoes a shocking change. She and Toby have always been close, but they have difficulty closing the gap after this incident.
Later, shortly after the war begins, the family receives a telegram stating that Toby is missing, presumed dead. Elinor feels there is something not right about the letters she receives from his commanding officer and the chaplain. Letters to her friend Kip, who served with Toby, receive no answer. Elinor asks her friend Paul, who is home wounded, to help her find out what happened.
That makes the book sound like a mystery, but it isn’t. It is more about Elinor’s unresolved feelings for her brother, and latterly about the horrors of war.
Although Toby’s Room is a sequel to Barker’s Life Studies, and I have not read the first book, I felt myself immersed in this fully realized world. This is another situation, like with The Quality of Mercy, where I was reading the novel for my Walter Scott prize project and chose not to read the first one. Unlike The Quality of Mercy, though, I don’t think my not having read the first book affected my appreciation of the second. Although I do wish the Walter Scott prize judges would stop putting sequels on their short list, I enjoyed Toby’s Room. It examines serious issues while still capturing our attention.

International Atomic Energy Agency statement says Iran refused an IAEA request for access to a site where the agency suspects explosives testing related to a nuclear weapon took place, the USA Today writes.
The statement also warns that despite “intensive efforts,” no agreement was reached on how to restart the probe, which has been stalled for nearly four years.
“It is disappointing that Iran did not accept our request to visit Parchin during the first or second meetings,” IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano said in a statement posted on the organization’s Facebook page. “We engaged in a constructive spirit, but no agreement was reached.”
The statement was released early Wednesday, after the IAEA team left on a return flight to Vienna. Remind that the two-day visit by the International Atomic Energy Agency team, which started Monday, is the second in less than a month amid growing concerns over alleged Iranian weapons experiments.
The West tries to press Iran by sanctions because of its nuclear program. The EU accepted a resolution to put embargo on Iranian oil since July 1. Iran denies all charges according which seeks atomic weapons and claims that the nuclear program is just for the peace civilian needs.
“We will no more wait to see enemy action against us,” the state-run Fars news agency quoted Mohammad Hejazi, deputy head of the general staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, as saying. His warning came after Iran sent the European Union a letter last week asking for negotiations at the “earliest opportunity” on the nuclear issue.

text: Sexuality, especially in African female sexual discourse, is associated with danger and fear, a paradigm that is dangerous and paralysing, especially to young women coming to sexual consciousness. Bakare-Yusuf argues for the need to provide a counter-narrative that emphasises pleasure, love and desire and transcends this discourse of sexual danger. Moving beyond this discourse allows for the exploration of the complexity and richness of women’s sexuality so that women don’t fall into a sexual paralysis. In this chapter, Bakare-Yusuf argues that the realm of ecstasy, desire, intimacy, mutuality and pleasure of the female erotic universe is often a precursor to and provides a backdrop to sexual danger and domination. She also argues that the assertion of women’s sexual and embodied agency is potentially more threatening and disruptive to a hetero-patriarchal controlling logic than a focus on danger and violation, hence its repression and suppression. While foregrounding issues around sexual danger and domination continues to be important in our demand for social justice, sexual citizenship rights and freedom, it nonetheless allows for the perpetuation of the idea that women are passive recipients of hetero-masculine prerogatives and therefore in need of protection from normative erotic violence. Changing narratives of female sexualities calls for the active engagement of women in telling a very different kind of story about women’s bodies, desires and pleasures, as Bakare-Yusuf is doing with her compilation of erotic stories by African authors. She contends that apleasure-based approach can radically undermine patriarchal control of women.

An approach was developed for determining and confirming the presence of exemestane and its metabolite 17-hydroxyexemestane in urine. It is based on the application of high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-HRMS). To detect hydroxyexemestane, the analysis of the hydrolyzed fraction of urine is preferable. The recovery rates of exemestane and 17-hydroxyexemestane were 83 and 91%, respectively. The detection limits were 1 ng/mL for HPLC- MS/MS and 2.5 ng/mL for HPLC-HRMS. In spite of a considerable effect of ionization suppression, the sensitivity and selectivity of the determination are affected by the selection of the optimal detection conditions in HPLC-MS/MS and by the high accuracy of mass determination in mass spectrometry with orbitrap detection, enabling resolution at a level of 5 ppm. The procedures can be used for screening and confirmatory analysis. © Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2010.

In a bid to avoid enforcement actions or penalties, the bank has increased staff in the unit by 50% and cut ties with thousands of customers
National Australia Bank has upped the headcount of its financial crimes risk staff by 50% over two years and cut ties with thousands of customers in a bid to avoid enforcement actions or penalties from AUSTRAC.
Responding to questions put to it by a parliamentary committee on economics, NAB said that in the four years to June, it had spent $816.1 million to improve its financial crime and fraud controls, according to a report by The Australian.
About $614.7 million of that money was spent on financial crime improvements, including hiring new employees and bolstering technology systems, controls and operations. NAB said that in 2018, it had just 200 employees managing financial crimes risks in 2018. That number was boosted to 1,000 in 2019, and as of Aug. 31 of this year, there were more than 1,500 employees managing financial crime risk.
NAB CEO Ross McEwan answered questions from the committee on the subject of compliance with anti-money laundering laws at a hearing last month, The Australian reported. He said the bank had launched a huge remediation project, called Project Apollo, which centred on ensuring that it complied with “know your customer” requirements.
NAB was referred to AUSTRAC’s enforcement unit in June over concerns that the bank was lax in performing thorough customer due diligence. The banking sector as a whole has been plagued with issues when it comes to financial crime risk, The Australian reported.
Last year, Westpac paid a record $1.3 billion fine for millions of breaches of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws. In 2018, Commonwealth Bank was hit with a $700 million fine for its own violations.
Responding to the economics committee’s questions, NAB said that it had “exited” 40,000 active customers between May 2019 and last month over know-your-customer requirements or other “financial crime or fraud reasons.” The bank also said it had a dedicated financial crime remediation team to ensure that all relevant know-your-customer data “is captured and housed in one place.”

In June, AUSTRAC expressed concerns about NAB’s customer identification procedures, ongoing customer due diligence and compliance with parts of the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing program, The Australian reported. However, the regulator said at the time that no decision had been made on whether action would be taken. AUSTRAC said it was not considering civil penalty proceedings against NAB “at this stage.”

East Jordan returns to action with D3 district win over Harbor Springs
HARBOR SPRINGS — For the East Jordan boys’ basketball team, there was no guarantee that they would be playing Tuesday night when district play opened up.
Over the last 11 days heading into their scheduled district opener with Harbor Springs, the Red Devils hadn’t played a game and had just one practice as a complete team in that stretch, as the school and basketball program dealt with COVID protocols.
Once it became official that they would have a third shot at the Rams and chance to continue the season Tuesday in Harbor Springs, the Red Devils made the most of their opportunity.
A close first half, and tied halftime, eventually led to runs by both teams in the second half, though it was East Jordan’s post play in the second half and steady hand at the free throw line that pushed them to a 52-49 victory over the Rams.
“I’m glad we’re back,” said a thankful East Jordan coach, Nate Dzwik. “We had a tough practice yesterday to get ready for a well-coached team that you know is going to bring everything in a one-and-done.
“We definitely showed some rust in the first half. It showed on the offensive end. The defensive effort was phenomenal. But, we were just kind of passive and trying to find the flow of the game on offense. I thought in the second half we did a much better job.”
The win advances East Jordan (6-10) within their Division 3 district to a semifinal matchup with Charlevoix (14-1) at 6 p.m., Thursday, March 25 in Charlevoix.
The win for the Red Devils gives them the series advantage for the season, with the Rams winning the season opener on a buzzer-beater and the Red Devils taking the last two in close mashups.
Harbor Springs closed out a 4-13 overall season and for senior Grant Richardson, the loss stings, but he knows he and his teammates gave everything they had in the end against a rival.
“It was a tight game. We both play really aggressive defense,” said Richardson. “They don’t play soft, they play hard every second, which makes it close.”
Things were back-and-forth with points tough to come by early, with the Rams leading 7-6 after one, then the two headed to halftime in a 17-17 game.
Out of the half, the Red Devils started to pick things up and took a seven-point lead midway through the third, as Preston Malpass came out of the half with eight, quick points in the third.
The Rams didn’t back down, however, as Clay Novak began to find his stroke from outside, hitting back-to-back threes to bring Harbor within one in a 26-25 game.
Harbor’s Trae MacGregor then started pushing the tempo for the Rams and started a 5-0 run himself that brought the lead back to Harbor Springs in a 30-26 game.
Both sides traded baskets from there, until Novak hit another three and the Rams closed the third with a 39-32 advantage.
“We talked about that at the quarter break, ‘Win two-minute segments,’” said Dzwik. “We won the first two minutes, then we won the next. As the kids did that and saw the scoreboard start to come down, they started to play with confidence.”
East Jordan slowly worked their way back in and eventually retook the lead on a 3-pointer by Mason Malpass with 4:30 left on the clock, but there would be three more lead changes to come.
It wasn’t until a basket by East Jordan’s Aydden Kluth and a pair of perfect trips to the line from Preston and Mason Malpass that the Red Devils commanded a lead they wouldn’t return.
Preston Malpass fished with 22 points to lead, Mason Malpass had 10 points and Ethan Antaya added eight, while impressing Dzwik defensively.
“I thought Ethan Antaya was huge tonight,” he said. “He struggled some offensively, but man, did he do a good job defensively.”
For Harbor, MacGregor led with 14 points, Jude Proctor scored 10, Novak had nine and Richardson added eight, while closing a standout three-year varsity career with the Rams.
“It was fun. I’m glad it happened,” said Richardson on playing for the Rams. “I had fun over these past three varsity seasons. It was a good time.”
East Jordan’s focus now turns to the Rayders, a team they were supposed to meet a year ago in the district final.
“It’s the game we wanted last year on March 13, we’re just getting it a year later,” added Dzwik. “It’ll be a good environment and great for these young kids.
“We’ve talked all year about, if you’re going to win the district, you’re going to need to beat (Charlevoix). Now we’ve got to beat them.”


Well, one month on from the previous Bulletin and the world has changed completely. But at the end of it, we will still need radical research to guide better policy and practice.
I suppose the first point to make is that research itself (at least that based at universities) is suddenly in a place of massive uncertainty. The commercialised business model of higher education in the UK, underpinned by fees from overseas students, has collapsed, and even if there is a bail-out financially I don’t think anyone yet knows what the sustainable future of research within higher education will look like. Only today (10 April) the Universities UK umbrella body was asking the government for a two-billion pounds bailout.
Now, on to the usual practicalities.
1. 1960s. The 50th anniversary events by Manchester Histories of Alf Morris (MP and then Lord) and his landmark Act of Parliament, the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970, have been put back from June, pencilled in currently for September. As part of this theme, my research into the campaigns by disabled people and allies in the 1960s moved on a step in March when I visited the British Library in London and found a copy of the letter in the New Statesman political journal in 1966 by Marsh Dickson which got Pamela La Fane first involved in the National Campaign for the Young Chronic Sick, which fed into Alf Morris’ law.
2. 1920s. The 100th anniversary of the National League of the Blind (“and Disabled” was added later) of their march to London for employments rights was on Sunday 5 April. A replica banner has been made (credit: Jenny Gradwell) and the plan was to congregate in Stevenson Square in Manchester and then in Leeds. Of course, that plan was abandoned, and social media posts were used to celebrate the anniversary instead.
3. 1980s onwards. Some elements of this are still confidential, but the GMCDP Archive work is moving forward slowly despite the current crisis. A recent independent professional assessment of its contents noted that, if all the boxes of papers and such were put on one shelf it would have to be 130 metres long. That’s longer than a double tram. I think this alone gives a sense of its significance and potential for learning by activists and by policy makers and influencers.
For me a key recommendation in the assessment report is that this archive is actually an important series of collections. I’ve started an (incomplete) list of these collections here. Please note that some are still works in progress.

4. 1990s. In late February I joined an informal lunch-meeting in London with some DAN alumni and a TV production company which is looking to make a docu-drama programme on DAN in the early 1990s and the campaign for civil rights. Of course, since then the production is on hold for the moment along with many other non-essential tasks in a time of covid.
5. 1970s onwards. One of the poignant effects of lockdown is that I plan to spend more time at home cataloguing the Lorraine Gradwell Collection, which is currently eight boxes and likely to grow. I’m hoping the catalogue (spreadsheet) will conform with the national standards, and will be checking out drafts with colleagues.
Finally, the other items from the February and March Bulletins are ticking over in the background.
Thank you all, and keep well and safe.

Among the gamer and geek crowd, modder and DIY-er Ben Heck is a legend and god. There's probably nothing Heck can't do. Come on, the guy even solved how to eat Hot Pockets without taking your hands off a controller. This time, he's building one of his most challenging consoles yet: an all-in-one monster that combines a PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U. That's three consoles in one!
It may not be the prettiest thing, but Heck's "Ultimate Combo System" would definitely streamline our entertainment centers. Instead of having a gazillion wires snaking out of three game consoles, there'd only be coming out of one box. Actual details are still tightly guarded, but from what we can make out on the wooden console, the Xbox 360 sits on the bottom, with the Wii U on top of that, and the PS3 at the very top.
For such an epic undertaking, Heck and Revision3 are releasing the construction process in three video parts (the first is below). Watch as Heck cracks open one of the newer slim PlayStation 3 consoles and waxes poetic about how cool the internal power supply unit is. Also, be sure to stick around until the 14:39 mark to see the console cases re-assemble and
fall to their doom recycle themselves into the trash bin. Part two and three will come out on March 15 and March 23, respectively.


Convert a Futaba S148 Servo to Continuous Operation
One of the simplest bots you can make is made by converting a couple of servos to free running mode. You get a small motor, gearbox and speed controller all in one package.
First lets talk a bit about how a servo works.
Most servos are controlled by a series of pulses. The width of the high state pulse is what determines the actual position of the servo.

In an age of video on demand (VOD), sporting events are among the few broadcasts still watched live. Millions of people watch events such as the World Cup Final and the Super Bowl, giving Israeli startup Replay Technologies a huge reach.
Founded in 2011, the company has developed a method of filming called freeD, which generates instant, real-time 3D replays that have already been used at the 2012 London Olympics, in Yankee Stadium, and at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
Earlier this year, giant chip maker Intel bought Replay for $175 million.

Great location, nice pool.
Constantly waiting to be served by disinterested staff while seated around terrace. Several times had to chase after them to get service. Was given a room at the back with lovely view of the bins, even though the hotel wasn’t anywhere near full
Very peaceful and relax ...unbelievable view ...while having my coffee on the balcony i saw dolphins in the sea ...it was amazing totally didn't expect it and it was a great surprise. The staff was very friendly and helpful. overall great stay.
It was all perfect!
The check in was swift and the young lady who checked us in was very helpful and friendly. The apartment looked out over the sea and also had a private outside area. The apartment was spacious and the rooms were extremely clean. Air conditioning worked well in both rooms, fridge was clean and worked well. Apartment was serviced everyday and clean towels provided. The small pool was clean. There were plenty of seating around the pool and also in the garden. The atmosphere was relaxed.
The property is clean, however the furnishings in the apartment are tired. The sofa. chair and footstool had many stains on it and looked pretty dirty. The beds could do with new mattresses and they feel quiet lumpy as are the pillows. Breakfast is rather limited.
Great location. Magnificen view! I do recomend this hotel!

Theodor Black takes aim at racial injustices in his new single ‘SUB CULTURE’. Produced and performed entirely by the man himself, the track snaps back at everything from segregated buses to disproportionate stop-and-searches of people of colour.
The South London MC fires off some seriously heartfelt verses that show his aptitude for proper penmanship. This won’t come as surprise for fans, seeing as Black is a former member of the capital’s Reservoir collective, alongside the likes of Virgil Hawkins and Yasmin Leigh. But now he’s got it all covered alone.
Through its greyscale colouring, the music video also emphasises the disparity between black and white experiences. It was inspired by Matthieu Kassovitz’s 1995 film ‘La Haine’, which presents Paris’ ghettos in the chiaroscuro light of neo noir. Check it out below and stream ‘SUB CULTURE’ via all online distributors. Get yourself ready because Theodor Black’s new EP GARÇON lies just around the corner.


An application of Chebyshev polynomials to the solution of a two-dimensional elliptic boundary-value problem
The goal of this dissertation is to investigate the feasibility of using a bivariate Chebyshev polynomial to approximate solutions to the two-dimensional neutron diffusion equation.
The two-dimensional two-group neutron diffusion equations are solved by expanding neutron fluxes in a finite series of Chebyshev polynomials over large regions of a fission reactor. All the equations for the expansion coefficients necessary to satisfy the appropriate boundary conditions for the flux and current for a typical region are developed. The resulting system of algebraic equations is solved, using the power iteration method. Since the system of equations is overdetermined, the Gram-Schmidt method of orthogonalization is used. Calculations are done with the aid of a computer code, CDP, developed as part of this dissertation.
Two different test problems are solved using a first order finite difference computer code, PDQ-7 as a standard for comparison, and CDP. The first problem is a water-reflected square core with homogeneous material properties in each region. This problem is selected to provide a rather severe test of the CDP method in the calculation of large thermal neutron flux peaking at the core- reflector interface. The second problem is an actual problem solved by a utility for on-line-fuel management in a Pressurized Water Reactor. The reactor core consists of four-different fuel assemblies arranged in a checkerboard pattern in the interior of the core.
For the first problem, both PDQ-7 and CDP give about the same fast neutron flux distributions. The eigenvalues calculated by both methods are identical to one part in 4800. Except for a small region near the core-reflector interface, the thermal neutron fluxes within the core differ by less than about 4%. At the core-reflector interface, the difference in thermal fluxes is about 20%. A significant reduction in computer time required for the solution is achieved (0.45 sec for CDP vs 32.6 sec for PDQ-7). It is important to note, however, that the time required to obtain the "standard" solution for comparison, using PDQ-7 is larger than would be needed for a large mesh spacing. Thus, the savings in computer time required to achieve a solution using a PDQ-7 type code giving results comparable to those obtained with the CDP code cannot be inferred directly from these results. In any event, note that the CDP method is indeed. economical in both preparation of input data and computer time.
In the second problem, four very large regions are used in the CDP method for the entire reactor. These regions are much larger than those used in a typical finite difference solution for the same problem. Both methods give about the same fast neutron flux distribution. The eigenvalues calculated by the two methods are identical to one part in 2140. Although the CDP method does not show the assembly-to-assembly variation in thermal neutron flux, it gives the Same average thermal neutron flux as calculated with PDQ-7 to within 2%, except near the core boundary. Again, a large reduction in computer time is achieved (0.69 sec vs 101 sec).
The feasibility of using Chebyshev polynomial expansions for two-dimensional multi-group diffusion calculations has been demonstrated for these two problems. The method gives, not only very accurate eigenvalues, but also reasonably accurate neutron flux distributions within the reactor core.


Trade Representative Ron Kirk “on Wednesday said he will not bundle free-trade pacts with South Korea, Colombia and Panama into a single bill for congressional approval, despite Republican pressure to do so,” Reuters reports.
"It is highly unlikely to zero that they would be (submitted) in one bill," Kirk told reporters. "We know of no legislative template for an omnibus trade bill."
The Obama administration’s top trade ambassador said that the Panama and South Korea deals were essentially ready for congressional consideration and technical talks with lawmakers were underway. Kirk said the process for Colombia also would be started soon, aiming for a vote after mid-June.
Some Republicans in Congress “have urged Kirk for a single vote on all three but he said this could complicate the process.”
"Even though I’m very confident they’ll pass, we would run the risk of all three being knocked down by a point of order," he said, referring to a parliamentary maneuver. "So what we’re talking with Congress about is staging and timing."

60 Impressive Anime Tattoos Designs Ideas for 2019
Anime Tattoos Designs is a style of Japanese animation that has become popular around the world. The characters in Anime are based on manga characters, with large eyes, small mouths and unusual hairstyles. Anyone who loves to have a unique and outstanding body art should go for the anime, and they are also not as hard to draw as other images, and so you can almost not go wrong with them.
You can keep it traditional with the famous anime characters such as Pokémon and those from Sailor Moon and other series or even have something unique if you have a creative artist. The art of Anime Tattoos Designs has been around for more than a century now, and it has gone through different phases of transformation with the latest trend being having them in 3D.
Meaning of Anime Tattoos Designs:-
In the decades that followed they were one of the main forms of entertainment for both children and adults in Japan but their popularity spread across the globe with the onset of the Second World War. However, even with their global appeal they still maintain their Japanese culture and even western animators will base most anime storylines on Japan.
It is hard to determine when people started drawing them as Anime Tattoos, but most historians tend to agree that this is most likely in the 50’s, and 70’s when the genre of art was very popular. However, the modern styles came with the turn of the century.
Of course, for the more devout anime fan, certain symbols from a touching manga can have a much deeper personal meaning. As a result, these images make for a more personalized tattoo meaning. A Geass, for example, might be a reminder to you about your metaphorical mission in this life.
Favorite Anime Tattoos Designs:-
Although anime originate from Japan, they now have a global appeal and over the years different comics from various parts of the world have been released. And so this alone is enough to show that the options are endless if you choose to have one of these totems.
You can have one of the following symbols or even come up with a distinct design or image if you prefer something that you will not see with anyone else.
Best Places to Have Them:-
You can have your anime tattoos anywhere you wish because there are plenty of designs to choose from and few if at all any will restrict you when it comes to placement. However, most people that love this genre of tattoo prefer to have them as large images, and so the back and sleeve make excellent tattoo placement areas.
Some anime lovers will also prefer to have theirs on the wrist or fingers where they can see or show them off any time they feel like it. The knuckles are also ideal for some small images, and this is more so for people that want their totems to look unique.
Anime tattoos are a beautiful type of art, and they are the best way to show your love and fascination for your favorite series.

What is OSD mode?
An on-screen display (OSD) is a control panel on a computer monitor or television screen that allows you to select viewing options and/or adjust components of the display, such as brightness, contrast, and horizontal and vertical positioning..
What is DDC CI on or off?
Display Data Channel (DDC) / Command Interface (CI) is a type of communication between the computer and the monitor. … DDC essentially allows the monitor to inform the computer about it’s supported display modes.
Should HDR be on or off?
While HDR can’t fix every problem with taking photos on your Android phone, it can certainly help your little camera produce appealing images that you’ll really want to show off. HDR isn’t a silver bullet, though — it really needs to be used in moderation for the best results.
What does WDR stand for?
wide dynamic rangeWhen part of an image is extremely dark but another part is so bright you can’t see any details, that’s dynamic range—the difference in lighting. Cameras with wide dynamic range (WDR) have special software that allows them to balance that lighting for one clear image.
How do I access the OSD menu on my camera?
1. Click on the right mouse button to open the DVR options and select Main Menu. 5. Select the Channel (camera) you would like to access the OSD menu to.
What is camera WDR?
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a term used in the surveillance camera industry to refer to high-dynamic-range imaging. Implies that the camera can handle bright and dark conditions and improve quality of freeze frame.
What is the function of CCTV camera?
CCTV, or closed-circuit television, is a system that allows you to keep an eye on what’s going on in and around your business. Cameras and monitors enable you to view events live, and recorders archive footage for later reference. Don’t mistake a CCTV monitor for an ordinary television.

What is OSD time?
An OSD timeout refers to the period of time between the moment you stop using the menu and the moment the menu disappears. … If your device does not have an OSD timeout it will continue to display the information until you manually leave the menu or turn off the device.
Where is the OSD button?
Stands for “On Screen Display.” Most monitors include an on screen menu for making adjustments to the display. This menu, called the OSD, may be activated by pressing the Menu button located on the side or front of your monitor.
What is ASUS On Screen Display?
An on-screen display (OSD) is a control panel on a computer monitor or television screen that allows you to select viewing options and/or adjust components of the display, such as brightness, contrast, and horizontal and vertical positioning.
What does OSD mean for cameras?
On-Screen DisplaySo – you have bought one (or more!) of Swann’s range of Pro Series cameras, browsed through the On-Screen Display (OSD), noticed lots of confusing settings, and don’t quite understand what they all do. This manual will help you navigate through the OSD and explain the OSD settings in detail.
How do I enable OSD?
The OSD is accessible by pressing the “Menu” or “OSD” button on your TV’s remote control or front panel. The OSD component is present on modern televisions and any changes you make to the component’s settings are saved when you press the “Menu” or “Exit” key.
What are the types of CCTV cameras?
The 9 most popular types of CCTV cameras available are:Dome CCTV Cameras.Bullet CCTV Cameras.C-Mount CCTV Cameras.PTZ Pan Tilt & Zoom Cameras.Day/Night CCTV Cameras.Infrared/night vision CCTV Cameras.Network/IP CCTV Cameras.Wireless CCTV Cameras.More items…•
What is the difference between WDR and HDR?
The difference is that the implementation methods are different. To be more specific, WDR makes efforts on hardware while HDR makes efforts on software. In a word, a car DVR with WDR or HDR technology makes the images clearer than an ordinary dash camera.
Why Is CCTV a bad thing?
The cameras are often looking in a different direction, are not functioning, or are unable to recognise a crime being commissioned. Criminals have eyes too, and they know which direction a camera is facing. To give people a false sense of security is negligent and irresponsible.

One of the more interesting parts of a language is how individual words form over the years. In English, some words were formed from the fusing together of two existing words or from the spontaneous creation of a word that fills a gap in our collective description. Most of the time, however, words just evolve. Starting with one spelling and meaning, they slowly morph into new forms and new contexts. The same process happens in nearly every language in the world. Thomas Lathrop’s Evolution of Spanish is a look into the roots of the language, and from these roots, he hopes new understanding can grow.

A few years ago I was one of the authors of a white paper in opposition to the New York State Regents proposal to allow alternate certification for school administrators. The idea was that individuals who had a history of leadership in areas outside of education – the military or business, for example – could be fast tracked to becoming certified as school superintendents.
Writing as a member of the New York State Association for Women in Administration, I was concerned that fast tracking these “outsiders” would exacerbate the gender discrepancy that already existed when it came to the superintendency. In a state where roughly 75% of teachers were women, they constituted less than a quarter of the state’s superintendents. Military or business leaders would also tend to be male. Most women entered administration later than their male counterparts and tended to work their way through various chairs until they reached the superintendency. While agreeing that leaders in business and the military could bring experience, skill, and a different point of view to the profession, my colleagues and I believed that fast tracking them was inherently unfair and detrimental to women.
The idea was eventually dropped. In its place appeared another alternative -- online degrees in education administration. Without ever having to work on a project with school administrators, interact with professors with experience in the field, or participate in an internship, an individual could become certified as a school administrator.
Currently under consideration are proposals for an increase in alternate programs to train teachers for the classroom. The New York Times reports that programs like Teach for America and N.Y.C. Teaching Fellows attract young professionals wanting to change careers and have managed to “rebrand teaching as both sexy and noble.” Some say the difference between these alternate programs and traditional college programs is that the former relies on practice while the latter relies on theory.
Clearly there could be many viable paths to becoming an educator. Yesterday I wondered if the current upheaval in education would make young people think twice before entering the profession. But maybe now that it’s sexy and noble, we don’t have to worry.
