The new single by Dan Murr is released by DPT Records today. Hide Your Love features Nora Blu on vocals and is another irresistably funky Dancefloor filler and anthem in similar vein to Discotheque.
Help Dan celebrate the single coming out on his birthday by downloading or streaming a copy here.
DPT Records have taken the decision to switch distributors to Tunecore.
The ongoing problems at CD Baby have obviously influenced our decision but having looked at Tunecore for the first time since they distributed our sister label Demerara Records in 2014 we have discovered that the prices and services they now offer and the speed with which they are able to deliver them (including instant ISRC & Bar Codes) underlines why they are the world’s leading independent digital distribution service.
Dan Murr‘s new single (featuring Nora Blue) Hide Your Love is the first DPT Records release to be distributed by Tunecore and we plan to release singles in the coming months by all our artists which will also now be distributed by Tunecore. We would of course like to thank CD Baby for the ongoing distribution (subject to their getting over current problems) of part of our existing catalogue.
It’s been another bumper week for DPT Records artists with another truck-load of radio play for our artists thanks to a combination of the leading internet stations and select genuine independent FM & DAB stations in the UK.
So a big shout out is due to Hemel Hempstead’s Community Station Radio Dacorum (special mention to the amazing Gatsby a.k.a Marc Ainscough); Wales’s Radio Wigwam; Netherlands’ XTended Radio; French station RKC; California’s Lonely Oak Radio; English station Eleu Radio; North West Scotland’s Argyll FM and North East Scotland’s Radio North Angus. Find out more about when and where our artists’ tracks have been played here.
Dreamscape City Sinfonia have had an astonishing five tracks played by radio shows in the past week! These include the current single Reasonsexcuses and new one Red Yellow Green (out on 27th February) plus three currently unreleased tracks The Heart of You and Desire (both examples of DCS’s developing Pop Noir genre) and the more Urban and Disco-infused The Love. Listen to Dreamscape City Sinfonia tracks here.
Kevin East has had a similar number of tracks played; led by the fantastic Zariis‘s remix of Funky Times (the current single) plus some classic tracks from past years like When are you gonna give in and Together and some more recent unreleased material including Promise Land and Question Why. Kevin and Zariis have teamed up again for the next single Cold Heart so expect that track to find its way onto radio shows soon. Watch the video for Funky Times (Zariis Remix) here.
Dan Murr is in such demand from certain radio stations that they have been raiding his Soundcloud account looking for more tracks to play! With the long-running radio success of Discotheque (featuring vocalist Lauren Cumberpatch) Dan is now releasing a long-awaited follow-up with DPT Records on 7th March. Versions of the song Hide Your Love (featuring Nora Blu on vocals) have been getting plenty of rotation alongisde other Dan Murr gems and now the official single version is starting to get played too. Watch the video for Discotheque here.
MSQ have had a quiet time lately although their last single The Blame Game had strong support from Ska radio stations including Judge Dread Radio and they have a new single Our World ready for release in late March/early April.
In the meantime you can listen to all our artists and tracks here.
And you can check all the videos on our Youtube Channel here.
The new single by Dreamscape City Sinfonia will be released by DPT Records on 3rd March 2017.
Red Yellow Green sees the project take on a more uptempo Electronic Pop direction following the brooding Dream Pop ballad Reasonsexcuses which continues to pick up airplay on a daily basis.
More news will follow about the single and video but in the meantime you can stream Red Yellow Green along with other DCS tracks here.

Washington Evening Journal
111 North Marion Avenue
Washington, IA 52353
FORT DODGE — When Lyndi Vantiger transferred from Mediapolis to Mt. Pleasant after the 2017 softball season, she had dreams of going to state. Four years later, those dreams are finally coming true, but from the coaches box rather than in the field.
The former Panther catcher was on the field at Rogers Sports Complex last week when the state tournament kicked off, but instead of wearing Mt. Pleasant’s colors, she was representing Iowa City Regina.
“If you would have told me the first time I would have made state softball was as a coach, I wouldn’t have believed you.” Vantiger said.
The Class of 2019 graduate was a huge boost to a Mt. Pleasant squad that was coming off its second state tournament appearance in three years. The team was turning a new leaf with a talented senior class in 2017, but the 2018 and 2019 squads Vantiger played on had plenty of talent at their disposal.
In her first year playing for the Panthers, Vantiger batted .353 with a double, two triples, a home run and 15 RBIs. Though her average dipped below .300 the next year, she still finished with double-digit RBIs, racking up 15, and over the two seasons she swiped 24 bases.
Unfortunately for Vantiger, and the rest of those Panther softball players, neither of those groups made it to the state tournament. Mt. Pleasant nearly won the conference in 2019, but Mt. Pleasant could never get past the regional semifinals.
“I would have loved to have been able to be one of those lucky athletes that made it to Fort Dodge,” Vantiger said. “We were a great team, but we did have our low moments.”
Softball has always been a part of Vantiger’s life. In 20 years of life, she says she has played 32 seasons of softball. She was also a member of the volleyball team and a state-qualifying track athlete.
So, as one could imagine, there was a void when she went a year of college without it.
“All of the sudden waking up and not having that anymore is heartbreaking,” Vantiger said. “You feel like you’re missing something in your life.”
Vantiger says she has found other ways to try and fill that gap. She says she finds herself working out constantly, which helps give her a bit of the excitement left by being out of competitive sports.
“I love the adrenaline rush of working out and lifting and what not,” Vantiger said. “That’s about the only thing athletic that I do.”
Vantiger says she knew Regals head coach Angelina Kessler from past travel softball teams. Kessler reached out to her in late winter.
“I really got lucky,” Vantiger said. “I didn’t even apply, just good history and good people skills and my background.”
Vantiger just graduated from Kirkwood and will be moving on to the University of Iowa to continue studying sports and recreation. She had a full-time job lined up already, but she knew she couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make it work.
“I’ve always wanted to be a coach somewhere in the future,” Vantiger said. “The fact that I got to coach this early in my life was a total blessing.”
Vantiger says she sees an advantage in being able to relate to the players. After all, some are just a couple years younger than herself.
“I understand what it’s like to be an athlete,” Vantiger said. “I know what it’s like for the sport to take up your summer, and I know sometimes you don’t want to be there. Sometimes you just want to be on a beach somewhere.”
But, the fiery competitor in Vantiger still comes out as she stands in the dugout and in the first base coaches box.
“It’s hard for me to keep my composure,” Vantiger said. “I am young, but my head coach and our pitching coach keep me balanced.
The Regina softball team entered the postseason as the 14th-ranked team in Class 2A. The Regals had to battle in a 5-3 win over Pekin in their first tournament game. They staged a late comeback to stun top-seeded Louisa-Muscatine in the regional semifinals, and in the regional final, came back from down three runs in the seventh against Cardinal to force extra innings, where they would win on a walk-off wild pitch.
“If any team can come back it’s Regina,” Vantiger said. “These girls have done it every single game.”
Regina lost their state quarterfinal 5-2 to eventual champion North Linn, but defeated Underwood in the consolation bracket to end the day at 1-1.
“The experience is amazing,” Vantiger said. “It’s a really nice solitude feel. It’s not super overwhelming. It’s almost relaxing.”
And she had plenty of time to soak in the scenes of Fort Dodge, a final destination she was always aiming for.
“You walk in and you are like, ‘We’re here,’” Vantiger said.
And that coaching itch still is there. Vantiger says she definitely sees herself in the coaches box a lot more often, and she’d love for it to be at Regina. Either way, Vantiger’s presence on the local softball scene doesn’t seem to be something that will be over anytime soon.

Scotland, 1328: Conjuring with all of her will. Ana de Dannon summons the greatest champion of the ages, Cuchulainn, the legendary Irish warrior. Only he could defeat Ana’s evil half-brother, Roderick, and free her mother, Rhiannon, from Edinburgh Tower.
In a perversely generous gesture – as he knows no man in the land will face him – Roderick has offered to release any prisoner whose champion can defeat him in a tournament.
But the powerful man Ana conjures is not Cuchulainn, though the word Warrior is written on his strange and colorful garment…and his face is hidden beneath a massive helmet. Ana has mistakenly called forth Kenneth MacKinnon, quarterback for the Seattle Warriors, and the greatest champion of his age – the year 2000. But he may be the hero she needs after all, when he learns to do battle for something greater than his own glory – the love of a fair maiden.
“[An] intelligent, innovative approach to time travel. With THE QUEST, Ms. Binder establishes herself as a powerful and inventive voice in paranormal romance . . . Her brilliance and cleverness shine out of each and every page of this unforgettable book. Let yourself be swept away by a brilliant new talent.” – Romantic Times

The USAID-funded ADA Program focused on creating social cohesion by informing citizens living in informal settlements of their constitutional rights to housing and basic services. DIG worked with approximately 200,000 residents of 35 informal settlements across Zimbabwe (Harare, Bulawayo, Masvingo, Kadoma, and Epworth). Collaborating with Dialogue on Shelter, a Slum Dwellers International affiliate, the ADA program team successfully mobilized slum dwellers into 100+ women-led solidarity groups. This allowed them to peacefully engage with government authorities and advocate to protect their rights. Local and national decision-makers’ increased accountability regarding constitutional provisions protected the urban poor’s rights to shelter and basic services.
GPIMG focused on supporting city leadership and community-based partnerships to develop inclusive urban policies so that more and better resources reach the urban poor.
Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, HFP was a three-year, multi-country contract to test and explore innovations in the field of housing finance for the poor.
Sustainable Water and Sanitation in Africa (SUWASA) – Under USAID’s Water II IQC, SUWASA aimed to promote innovative reforms and sustainable financing for water and sanitation.
The focus of the Urbis program included slum improvement, provision of basic services (water and sanitation), land tenure regularization, and financing for the urban poor, with advocacy as a cross-cutting theme.
The city of Dakar, Senegal, hired DIG to help it launch its first municipal bond. DIG is providing technical and monitoring assistance to the municipality, which expects to raise a maximum of USD 40 million through a five-year bond scheduled to be offered in 2015.

Ordinary rubber bands could be transformed into wearable sensors for monitoring blood pressure, joint movement and blood glucose, as a result of a discovery by researchers at the AMBER materials science centre and Trinity College, Dublin.
The method involves adding graphene to the rubber bands, the first time this has ever been successfully achieved anywhere in the world.
Dubbed a wonder material, graphene is made from a single flat layer of carbon atoms.
It is super strong, flexible and conductive, and scientists believe it will in future be used to make all sorts of products, from flexible mobile phones to lighter aeroplanes.
But scientists at the AMBER materials science centre and the School of Physics at Trinity College Dublin have found another use.
In a paper published in the journal ACS Nano, they describe how adding graphene to shop-bought rubber bands, can transform them into wearable sensors.
The world first technique makes the rubber conduct electricity, without degrading its mechanical properties.
As the stretching of the bands strongly effects the flow of electrical current, the bands can sense tiny movements, like a pulse when attached to clothing for example.
The scientists say the discovery will lead to multiple uses in areas like healthcare, the automotive industry and robotics.

Almost anyone involved in higher education these days will tell you the importance of fundraising can’t be overstated. Raising money has become a critical part of the operation on campuses across the country. Funds augment and sustain a variety of worthy pursuits from supporting students scholarships to underwriting costs of buildings and programs to endowing chairs for gifted professors.
With that in mind, it was great to see West Texas A&M University recognized for the first time ever by the Council of Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) with the 2019 CASE Educational Fundraising Award.
Make no mistake, this is a big deal. WTAMU is among elite company and was one of only three Texas institutions of higher education to be so recognized by CASE. The others were the University of Texas and the University of Houston. Final selection was made based on the judges’ blind analysis of three years of fundraising data by West Texas A&M that was submitted to CASE’s AMAtlas Voluntary Support of Education Survey.
“Recognition by CASE, our professional peer organization for fundraising in higher education, affirms what we in the Texas Panhandle already know: WT is on the move, growing and improving the lives of not only our students, but the residents in the whole region,” Dr. Todd Rasberry, the school’s vice president for philanthropy and alumni relations, said in a news release.
The work of the team at West Texas A&M stood out, according to the release, among a group of more than 90 colleges and universities to receive awards. WTAMU was recognized for demonstrating the highest levels of professionalism and best practice in its fundraising efforts as well as its contribution to the betterment of educational advancement worldwide.
That’s some high praise – and well-deserved. According to the organization, there were 16 repeat winners and 29 new honorees.
Fundraising in higher education is difficult and often time-consuming work. The people in this world are true believers committed to their cause. They strive to build relationships with prospective donors by connecting them to both a current and future vision that is an exciting facet of life on a college campus. They also serve as a bridge between what the institution is doing today and an alumni base that is busy and active making its mark on the world in a variety of disciplines.
According to CASE, the awards recognize exemplary fundraising programs and activities in four different designations based on performance, improvement and excellence. In other words, the organization doesn’t measure effectiveness simply by how much money is raised. Other metrics used to determine excellence include the breadth and depth of sources developed for future fundraising, according to their news release.
“The beauty of this awards program is that we look at the data not knowing what institution is being represented,” said Sue Kubik, who serves as a longtime CASE volunteer and led the judging panel this year. “In showcasing these best-of-the-best programs, CASE helps its members identify institutions doing smart and innovative work from which everyone can learn.”
And while it’s nice to be noticed, WTAMU”s philanthropic focus will continue to be on moving the institution forward and connecting it with those who want to invest in its bright future.
“We have a lot of exciting work ahead and milestones to achieve as we raise funds to fulfill the vision for the university outlined in the WT125: From the Panhandle to the World plan,” Rasberry said.
Congratulations to West Texas A&M on this recognition.

Accessories and Documentation
This is part of what we found in the hardware box. There are five zip-ties, a nylon socket for the eight standoffs, including the helper standoff that is already in the center of the motherboard tray. There are also eight motherboard screws, and four PSU screws in this image.
The rest of the kit contains four long fan screws for the front of the chassis, and thumbscrews for ODD installation or locking in the HDD trays. There are also a handful of rubber grommets for the HDD trays to mount 3.5" drives, and screws below them to secure the drives. At the bottom left is yet another handful of screws for 2.5" drive installation.
Outside of the chassis, we found another bag containing all of the paperwork for the Define R5. This includes the very comprehensive manual (around thirty or so pages) that shows everything there is to know from how to get inside the chassis to removing, rearranging, and building just about anything you can dream up in this chassis. Fractal shows you how to get all of that done. There is also a red insert that offers support and other information for various countries Fractal supplies cases to.
Just in case the description in the specifications and the tour around the chassis left you a bit confused, here is one last look at the fan locations. All of them are made to fit both 120mm and 140mm fans.
As for radiators, this image pretty much sums it up. Also, note that along with length of the radiators that are supported, in the front and at the bottom, they also depict thicker radiators fitting, and thin ones at the top only, for a total of 55mm of fan and radiator.

ORLANDO, Fla., April 3, 2019 -- Wood may seem more at home in log cabins than modern architecture, but a specially treated type of timber could be tomorrow's trendy building material. Today, scientists report a new kind of transparent wood that not only transmits light, but also absorbs and releases heat, potentially saving on energy costs. The material can bear heavy loads and is biodegradable, opening the door for its eventual use in eco-friendly homes and other buildings.
The researchers will present their results today at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Spring 2019 National Meeting & Exposition. ACS, the world's largest scientific society, is holding the meeting here through Thursday. It features nearly 13,000 presentations on a wide range of science topics.
A brand-new video on the research is available at http://bit.ly/HLS_Transparent_Wood.
"Back in 2016, we showed that transparent wood has excellent thermal-insulating properties compared with glass, combined with high optical transmittance," says Céline Montanari, a Ph.D. student who is presenting the research at the meeting. "In this work, we tried to reduce the building energy consumption even more by incorporating a material that can absorb, store and release heat."
As economic development progresses worldwide, energy consumption has soared. Much of this energy is used to light, heat and cool homes, offices and other buildings. Glass windows can transmit light, helping to brighten and heat homes, but they don't store energy for use when the sun goes down.
Three years ago, lead investigator Lars Berglund, Ph.D., and colleagues at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, reported an optically transparent wood in the ACS journal Biomacromolecules. The researchers made the material by removing a light-absorbing component called lignin from the cell walls of balsa wood. To reduce light scattering, they incorporated acrylic into the porous wood scaffold. The team could see through the material, yet it was hazy enough to provide privacy if used as a major building material. The transparent wood also had favorable mechanical properties, enabling it to bear heavy loads.
Building on this work, Montanari and Berglund added a polymer called polyethylene glycol (PEG) to the de-lignified wood. "We chose PEG because of its ability to store heat, but also because of its high affinity for wood," Montanari says. "In Stockholm, there's a really old ship called Vasa, and the scientists used PEG to stabilize the wood. So we knew that PEG can go really deep into the wood cells."
Known as a "phase-change material," PEG is a solid that melts at a temperature of 80 F, storing energy in the process. The melting temperature can be adjusted by using different types of PEGs. "During a sunny day, the material will absorb heat before it reaches the indoor space, and the indoors will be cooler than outside," Montanari explains. "And at night, the reverse occurs -- the PEG becomes solid and releases heat indoors so that you can maintain a constant temperature in the house."
The team encapsulated PEG within the de-lignified wood scaffold, which prevented leakage of the polymer during phase transitions. They also incorporated acrylic into the material to protect it from humidity. Like their earlier version, the modified wood was transparent, though slightly hazy, and strong, but had the added bonus of storing heat.
The researchers point out that the transparent wood has the potential to be more environmentally friendly than other building materials such as plastic, concrete and glass. In addition to its thermal-storage capabilities, the transparent wood could be easier to dispose of after it has served its purpose. "The PEG and wood are both bio-based and biodegradable," Berglund notes. "The only part that is not biodegradable is the acrylic, but this could be replaced by another bio-based polymer."
Now, the focus turns to scaling up the production process to be industrially feasible. The researchers estimate that transparent wood could be available for niche applications in interior design in as little as five years. They are also trying to increase the storage capacity of the material to make it even more energy-efficient.
A press conference on this topic will be held Wednesday, April 3, at 9 a.m. Eastern time in the Orange County Convention Center.

Multifunctional transparent wood for thermal energy storage applications
Recent research on transparent wood composite highlighted its potential to be used in thermal insulating buildings thanks to the combination of low thermal conductivity, unique optical features, and favorable mechanical properties. In this study, a multifunctional transparent wood composite was designed, extending the applications of transparent wood to thermal energy storage systems in passive buildings. Organic phase-change materials (PCMs), such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), can store and release latent heat energy during a reversible phase change process. PEG is an environmentally friendly and recyclable organic PCM, which exhibits large latent heat and undergoes solid-liquid phase transitions at suitable temperature range. However, the utilization of solid-liquid PCMs is limited due to leakage issues occurring during the melting process, hence decreasing their long-term thermal reliability. In this work, the wood scaffold was used to encapsulate PEG to prevent leakage during phase transitions. A multifunctional transparent wood composite was designed with functionalities including optical transparency and latent heat energy storage. During the experimental procedure, PEG was firstly shape-stabilized into a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrix, and further encapsulated into a delignified wood scaffold. Wood delignification was performed to remove the light absorbing components (lignin), and transparency was eventually achieved after impregnation of the shape-stabilized PEG into the porous wood cells. The prepared multifunctional transparent wood combines excellent thermal properties with large latent heat, and tunable optical properties with unique high optical transmittance and haze. The multifunctional transparent wood composite can be used as a load-bearing material in glazing structures with reduced heat energy consumption.


The CMS wants to expand prior authorization for non-emergency ambulance transportation nationwide and on Friday requested ambulance services for information that could help achieve that goal.
The agency has been testing prior authorization for repetitive, scheduled, non-emergency ambulance transportation for its Medicare beneficiaries in several states since 2014.
In a notice, the CMS said it will collect information from ambulance providers on how many and what type of transportation services are necessary. Prior authorization would require providers to hand over all medical records associated with ambulance services.
The agency would freeze payments for review and approval if the ambulance supplier doesn't submit a prior authorization request after four round trips during a 30-day period.
The CMS has been testing whether prior authorization cuts healthcare spending by curbing Medicare-covered ambulance transportation. The program's early results show substantial declines in utilization and spending during the first year of implementation.
The agency announced in September that it's extending the trial for another year in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.


As he encourages them to spray fire from the hip at multiple targets :
The said it understands the moves to assault weapons. "Police officers need to be able to defend themselves and the rest of us, and they need the weapons to do so," said spokesman Peter Hamm.
This is a change in their stance that have no use in a defensive situation and that the police are not wanting or needing weapons that would harm innocent bystanders.
How are the police able to use "assault rifles" "with bullets designed to break apart on impact " yet in civilian hands "In a conventional home with dry-wall walls, I wouldn't be surprised if it went through six of them."
So is Peter saying that it's now OK for police to be more lethal and more dangerous to civilians or is he following the claim that "Assault Weapons" magically transform into less dangerous "Patrol Rifles" in the hands of "Only Ones"?

What is it about the Way of Saint James, that despite the sweats climbing to O Cebreiro, the blisters in your feet and that tendinitis that reminds you of every step you take, you always want to return?
Besides the historical part of the way, which started with the first pilgrims who went to venerate the remains of the apostle Saint James found in the 9th century and buried in Santiago de Compostela, there is a personal interest in exploring and living an unforgettable experience. Regardless of the reason, be it religious, cultural, spiritual or sportive, every pilgrim has an open, non-judgmental mind, with the intention of learning about the world and about themselves, and with the certainty of having time to dedicate to themselves and their fellow travelers.
"The Way of Saint James is a clear example of the influence that active mobility and service infrastructure can have on a region where each bridge and road favors the movement of people and promotes sustainable urban development around it."
All of this takes place in a rural environment that is full of history and that has been preserved for more than 1,000 years. Following the alleged discovery of the remains of the Apostle Saint James and at a time when much of the Iberian Peninsula was under Muslim power, the Christian Kingdom and the Papacy decided to build physical infrastructure and all kind of services along the Way to facilitate the active mobility of pilgrims who went to Santiago de Compostela in order to obtain the forgiveness of their sins, also known as Plenary Indulgence.
At that time, the Way was a connection of small centers created every certain distance to provide service to these pilgrims: their population and trade increased, and cultural and religious exchange was facilitated. A similar situation to how cities now designs mass transit-oriented development (TOD) strategies.It also faces the current challenges of climate change, increased energy prices, traffic congestion, increased work-related travel and a deficit of green spaces, among other strategic issues related to the sustainability and health of citizens and of the urban environment.
The urban development model of the TOD is not recent, since the concept was already applied in the historical growth of the Way of Saint James, with the difference that in the Camino it is the active mobility itself that boosted the development of the service infrastructure. It is estimated that at its peak in the Middle Ages, between 200,000 and 500,000 pilgrims traveled this route annually seeking the Plenary Indulgence. A whole infrastructure to support pilgrims was established through the construction of chapels, monasteries, churches, cathedrals, to give spiritual support to the pilgrim, communication routes with roads and bridges, which facilitated their active mobility, and a wide network of shelters, hospitals, inns, dining rooms, haystacks, mills and fountains to provide shelter and food. The construction of this infrastructure and the high demand for services required a large number of workers, including merchants, bricklayers, as well as importing foreign talent.
A security institution was established to ensure the protection of pilgrims, backed by the "Peace of God", a law imposed by the church in the 11th century to guarantee peace and security in the regions through which the Way passed. In addition, a new legal framework was created, the "Right of Francs", which facilitated the development of trade and new forms of exchange through the regulation of prices and created tariffs and tolls. With this, the Iberian Peninsula opened to the rest of Europe, and the union and protection of the Christian pilgrims who shared the Way were promoted as they were strongly connected with the Christian countries on the other side of the Pyrenees.
It should be noted that the development around the Way did not only happen in the past. Over the years, this infrastructure -inherited from Roman times- has required several extensions and rehabilitation of its roads and surrounding areas. In addition, the Way is increasingly inclusive for people with disabilities who want to live this experience, both on foot, by bike or on horseback. The Way of Saint James is the origin of many stories and anecdotes, which have then given rise to many associations of friends of the Way, both in Spain and in the rest of the world, fundamental to keeping the flame of the Jacobean spirit alive. All this wealth that the Way presents is appreciated worldwide and considered a World Heritage Site since 1993.

WASHINGTON, January 15, 2010 – The Federal Communications Commission was inundated this week with a new slew of comments on its proposed plan to ensure an open internet through network neutrality regulation.
Players like the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council weighed in on the Internet’s importance to minority communities, while heavy hitters from Hollywood and big communications firms also added their more than two cents.
Here’s just a sampling of comments from the broadband industry community and look for more in-depth stories on BroadbandBreakfast.com in the next couple of days.
The Open Internet Coalition argued for “immediate action to enact common sense rules to ensure that the Internet remains the key engine of economic growth, innovation and deliberation for all Americans.”
Meanwhile, the Independent Telephone and Telecommunications Alliance, an alliance of mid-sized local exchange carriers, stressed that “the market for broadband Internet access is thriving, and unnecessary and intrusive network management regulations will depress incentives for broadband investment in rural America.”
The Media Access Project submitted two sets of public comments to the FCC in support of network neutrality protections. The comments were filed on behalf of more than 40 civil rights and public interest organizations nationwide. “Network neutrality principles must be enacted to ensure open and nondiscriminatory online communication,” said project Vice President Parul Desai.
In a 198-page filing with the agency, Free Press offered its position that network neutrality rules “will promote investment, encourage innovation, create jobs and spur competition.”
Free Press also took a jab at the phone and cable firms by saying its filing rebuts their “misguided claims about the harms of openness policy.”

About 540 papers were accepted to CHI 2016, out of which 69 received the Honorable Mention award, 20 received the Best paper award, and one received the best of all, “Golden Mouse” award.
To classify those 20 papers that received the best paper awards, it seems to me that, 25% of them are with regards to quality of life improvements, which is supported by the #chi4good theme chosen for CHI this year.
The Best 20 papers’ themes were as follows: women health, two design papers on visually impaired audience (see the videos), one on mobility impaired, teenager emotional/mental health (dear diary), user experience improvement (user burden, object oriented design, eudaemonic vs. hedonic user experience), Machine learning approach in HCI, a new view on HCI research (an image from the paper is attached below).
Another outstanding theme in CHI 2016 was the use of Machine learning methods (67 out 540 papers). It seems like every year number of machine learning related papers in CHI increases. For example, SpiroCall: Measuring Lung Function over a PhoneCall with the live demo presentation (see the talk video). This paper was quite fascinating because it showed how breathing sound can be in indicator of prediction for having healthy or unhealthy lungs.
The other ML related paper that stood out to me was Empath, by Michael Bernstein’s group (at Stanford) which involves use of deep learning word embedding algorithm GloVe (another word embeddings relatively similar to word2vec introduced by Socher) to create new lexical categories for analysis, similar to what LIWC does. LIWC is one of the major tools for psychologist to analyze social media posts, counting words in lexical categories like sadness, health, and positive emotion. However, LIWC is small: it has only 40 topical and emotional categories, many of which contain fewer than 100 words. Plus, it is not free and it took almost 8 years for the company to update LIWC. Further, many potentially useful categories like violence or social media don’t exist in current LIWC lexicons.
Empath, on the other hand, is a free tool that allows users to construct and validate new categories on demand using a few seed terms. It also covers a broad, pre-validated set of 200 emotional and topical categories. Empath has a python library with handful of examples on how to use the tool.
My speculation is that over the next few years, we will see more and more of deep learning related papers in CHI as Tensorflow came out last year and a lot of startups are now focusing on creating apps that involve deep learning approaches because dealing with unstructured data is easy and we have a lot of it on social media. This year, to the best of my knowledge, two papers adopted deep learning tool in their papers. “Social Media Image Analysis for Public Health” was the second paper in this realm.
Last year, when I came across Emotion Mediated through Mid-Air Haptics, I speculated to see more papers on affective communication with temperature manipulation on this particular device or general thermal user experience study in affective communication. Surprisingly, I didn’t see any papers from the first author of Mid-Air haptic. But, there were two papers that involved thermal manipulation for affective communication: Hot Under the Collar: Mapping Thermal Feedback to Dimensional Models of Emotion (see the video) and The Effect of Thermal Stimuli on the Emotional Perception of Images (see the video). I speculate to see motion and patterns of thermal stimuli on the body and different locations of the body in CHI 2017.
I realized that design of devices or wearables for couples or affective communication solely can be recognized as vanishing theme in CHI 2016. In CHI2013, The Whisper Pillow, A Study of Technology-Mediated Emotional Expression in Close Relationships and in CHI2014, Wrigglo: Shape-Changing Peripheral for Interpersonal Mobile Communication were two examples (see the video) of designs for affective communication. This year, to best of my knowledge, I didn’t see any papers solely targeting improving affective communication. Which maybe because there is not that many customers out there who are willing to spend money over an extra gadget on top of their smartphones for communicating affect. People have already stablished voice-0ver-IP methods equipped with audio, video, group chat, various animated and animated emoticons protocols to communicate affect with their loved ones. What an extra gadget can bring into the picture? Well, one place I can see that it could help is communicating negative affects. Most likely, when it comes to communicating negative affect, people are more leaned toward using technologies that are less rich communication mediums such as email and text messaging. Perhaps an extra gadget can facilitate communication of anger, frustration, sadness etc.
Overall, it seems to me people are more open and adaptive toward gadgets or wearables that are inclined toward improving or monitoring health (mental or physical) rather than pure affective communication. Fitbit and all smart watches out there are few examples that were marketed toward monitoring health devices. They were adopted drastically at the bringing and now they are less and less being used. So even if a wearable gadget perfect for communicating negative affect comes to market, I feel it would be bring about more of momentary pleasure than a lasting meaning.
I can think of the paper SkinTrack: Using the Body as an Electrical Waveguide for Continuous Finger Tracking on the Skin (see this video) as an example of a device that can be used for affective communication only. For example, drawing a heart shape on your skin that would be picked up by the screen and and can be transmitted to a receiver over a text message. This could be a novel replacement for (or even complement to) GIF files that recently gained more popularity (refer to the CHI16 paper by Yahoo Labs “Fast, Cheap, and Good: Why Animated GIFs Engage Us“). But again, ever lasting meaning or momentary pleasure (paper eudaemonic vs. hedonic user experience)? That is the main questions that needs to be addressed first before investing too much into these new gadgets.
Other than the paper mentioned above, the rest of wearable gadgets were more or less geared toward addressing a mental disorder. For example EnhancedTouch: A Smart Bracelet for Enhancing Human- Human Physical Touch was geared toward autistic children.
I got a chance to sit through a few courses during CHI16. One of which was by Rafael Calvo on “positive computing” which to me means maximizing the likelihood of “well-being”, given 6 strategies of “relativeness”, “competence”, “engagement”, “meaning”, “compassion”, and “autonomy” in designs (see video I and II).
During the second portion of the talk, it was mentioned that fire fighters in Australia demand mental exercises apps for the purpose of emotion regulation of these individuals. Apparently the fire fighting departments in Australia are not that invested on mental heath development of the fire fighters. Instead the fully focus on physical health and well-being and if one of these fighters demonstrate mood swing etc, they are susceptible to lose their jobs (see parts of this discussion on video). This talk made me think about how police officers, military, navy, or customer service individuals practice emotion regulation. Do they receive extensive trainings as for example astronaut do? Perhaps not, but are routinely exposed to situations that elicit intense negative emotions. So, perhaps we don’t need a gadget that facilities communicating negative affect. Instead, we need gadgets that can help us regulate our emotions in a more effective way.
Another paper in this realm designed a few gadgets to help individuals with sever Borderline Personality disorder (people, specially women, who tend to see things black and white and have a hard time adapting to reality) regulate their emotions (see video of the talk). Marsha Lanehan, famous author of Skill Training Manual for Treating Borderline Personality Disorder(BPD) proposed four categories of Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness to focus on, when it comes to treating BPD patients. She recently published the second version of this book with the title of DBT skill training as she believes these four categories do not necessary only apply to borderline personality disorder. Instead they can be generalized to broader range of mental health problems, including anxiety disorder and depression. In the CHI16 paper, for each of these four categories, an object were designed and handed over to the patients to help them with emotion regulation. One of which was mindfulness sphere that the patients could hold in their hands and watch their hearth rate projected by LEDs inside the sphere (See the video min 6:38 or the image below). I found the paper very interesting because it is directly targeting the emotion regulation challenges involved with people, specially women, with Borderline personality disorder. It is also backing up my theory that tech gadgets are found useful when they are designed for health related purposes.
Another favorite talk of mine was the paper ‘In the Wild’: Experiences of Engagement with Computerized CBT (video of the talk). This paper was focused on challenges with Computerized Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CCBT) which is focused on challenging the automatic thoughts and replacing them by a less black-and-white thinking thought. One thing that stood out to me was that “People would try anything to recover and that invokes a real danger of unethical tech design practice“. But, at the same time people have fragile confidence in relation to technology which perhaps may or may not be alleviated with more gamification and custom designs for each mental disorder.
I also enjoyed the simple straightforward talk “Delineating the Operational Envelope of Mobile and Conventional EDA Sensing on Key Body Locations” which indicated that half of the people who use the wristband EDA sensors, fail to see any signals and it is still unclear why. However, when the EDA sensors are plugged to fingertips, they tend to pick up stress signals with no problem. This talk is supporting the idea that Wearables is a bit of a misnomer, when it comes to picking up all physiological signals, in particular stress signal.
Lastly, it seems like general population is still not ready for Dynamic displays on clothing as stated by ““I don’t want to wear a screen”: Probing Perceptions of and Possibilities for Dynamic Displays on Clothing”.

Ciudad Juárez, Mexico is a huge city. Historically, it is the place where the adelitas were born, where the invention of the burrito was made and the place in which Margaritas were first drunk. For many of the habitants of this city, it is the home of great talents recognized as important celebrities such as Juan Gabriel, Tin Tan and even the great Ramon from El Chavo. But does it really have places for tourists? We present you some of the attractions of this beautiful city, full of hidden stories and vitality of its people.
One of the main attractions of Juárez is the richness of its platillos. The place where the first burrito was made couldn’t be left without recognition. We have a couple of places for you to go in case you are visiting Juárez and want to taste the magnificence of its culture. The first place is called Burritos Crisostomo. This burrito market is one of the most renown among the citizens of Juárez for its delicious guisados and its quick service for customers. There’s also Burritos Ximichú, which is known for its gigantic burritos and its famous food contests among the Juarenses. These burritos have almost the same guisados as Crisostomo, but their taste can be identified for its uniqueness.
Juarez also has Flautas La Pila, which is well known for its urban environment at the center of the city. This Flautas place has quite a fame that even Juarenses say you haven’t been in Juarez if you haven’t eaten at this place.
If you are craving tacos, Tacos Ajiji has the best tacos. These tacos are the most famous among Juarenses because of their pure taste. Plus, the restaurant has an enjoyable environment! If you are driving a car, be aware that you will have difficulty finding a parking place. The place is always a reventar. By looking at the delicious piña or buche at Ajiji, it’s no a wonder why many people enjoy tacos from Ajiji.
CULTURE AND HISTORY
History in Ciudad Juarez is quite rich because of the important personalities that have stepped on this land. The city is named after Benito Juárez, one of the most recognized presidents of Mexico. This land was his refugee throughout the war of Reforma. Legend says the battle was quite a triumph, and during the battle it was necessary for Benito to stay in Juárez for his own sake; without the support of the city, he wouldn’t have succeeded during the war and we would probably still be under the domains of the church.
There’s so much history in Juarez, but there are a couple of landmarks that you have to visit, like the Casa de Adobe. This house is where Francisco I Madero became Provisional president during the Revolutionary War of Mexico. It is an important point of reference to the region itself and to the country for being the home of the intellectual who wanted to take away power from the dictator Porfirio Diaz. Known as “Rancho de las Flores” back then, the Casa de Adobe is a landmark where the whole maderista camp was settled and reunions were made. Now, it is a free admission museum decorated with all kinds of artifacts. Tourists can come to the museum and appreciate the place that once was the home of such important people to the Mexican Revolution.
Casa de Adobe is indeed a historical place, but let me tell you that this isn’t the only place where history is manifested. If you are a reader and you love to spend time reading a good book, we recommend that you go to the biggest library in Chihuahua: Biblioteca Central Carlos Montemayor at Universidad Autonoma de Ciudad Juárez (UACJ). It is a public library which consists of more than 3,000 books and even more in its online catalog.
Another fun place to visit is La Rodadora. This one of a kind museum has been recognized as one of the most important and dynamic museums of all Latin America, chicas! It is intended for kids to learn by playing and interacting with the environment by listening and acquiring a first sensory experience!
SPORTS AND OUTDOOR AREAS
If museums aren’t your thing, there are wonderful sports and outdoor areas to enjoy, like the Stadium Benito Juárez. A good thing about Stadium Benito Juarez, besides being a place for football,soccer and athletics development, is that it is next to Parque Borunda. This place is known for its amazing jueguitos,which is the small version of a fair in Juarez. It also has carritos chocones in case you feel like driving and crashing into your friends. It is also known for its puestesitos of food and toys. Elotes, raspas and even chilindrinas are found at this small fair. It is a fun place to be if you want to hang out with your friends and eat something traditional from the city.
Another place to check out is the Central Park next to the Bachilleres gym. It is the biggest park in Ciudad Juarez and full of things to do! It has a main building where workshops from different activities are held, a library where you can find books with various topics (from university works to children stories) and art exhibitions from tarahumaras who have workshops about the customs of their culture. It is also the place for many events in Juarez, such as fairs, clown shows, and CONADE events (athletic organization), as well as government meetings. The peculiar thing about this park is that there are animals inside the park. They pass through every corner of the park at all time. Central Park has become their habitat, girls. These animals include ducks, gooses and even colored peacocks.
Juárez has a vibrant culture and atmosphere. From exquisite Mexican food to historically rich places, Juarez is an amazing city.

RHONY star Bethenny Frankel is back in court with her ex-husband Jason Hoppy regarding a custody battle for their daughter Bryn. While in court, Hoppy also accused Frankel of exploiting Dennis Shield’s death.
Jason Hoppy had asked Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Michael Katz to order drug testing for Frankel after her boyfriend Dennis Shields died of a suspected drug overdose in August, Page Six reports.
“There was a tragedy which I think you’re trying to exploit to embarrass Ms. Frankel,” Katz lectured Hoppy in denying the request for drug testing.
Hoppy’s lawyer, Robert Wallack, argued that in addition to Shields’ death, Frankel had “posted a video of herself on Instagram where she was clearly intoxicated and slurring her speech” last week. She also “appeared on TV passed out from mixing alcohol with Ambien,” Wallack said, referring to “Holidazed and Confused,” the May 30 episode of Frankel’s Bravo show, Wallack said.
“If this is what she’s putting out in public, we don’t know what she’s doing in private,” Wallack said.
Frankel’s attorney, Allan Mayefsky, insisted his client didn’t have a substance abuse problem.
“She’s on television, she’s entertaining. It’s her livelihood to say, ‘I’m out with friends having a good time,’” Mayefsky said.
The judge expressed skepticism about the timing of Hoppy’s drug testing demand, which he made only after the judge granted Frankel’s request for a custody trial.
The trial starts in March.

The Book of Ruth relates that Ruth and Orpah, two women of Moab, had married two sons of Elimelech and Naomi, Judeans who had settled in Moab to escape a famine in Judah. The husbands of all three women die; Naomi plans to return to her native Bethlehem and urges her daughters-in-law to return to their families.

What does the Book of Ruth symbolize?
Thus the Book of Ruth celebrates the forbidden marriage between Boaz and a Moabite woman, whose child is blessed like the offspring of another forbidden marriage and who, on the face of it, was a mamzer, or religious outcast.
What is the main point of the Book of Ruth?
The Book of Ruth encourages us to view our day-to-day lives as part of God’s bigger plan for our lives and world.
What are the major themes in the Book of Ruth?
There are many important themes in the book of Ruth. The two main themes are: God’s providence, and the idea of a kinsman redeemer. The book starts off in the time of the Judges. It is a wretched time where people are doing what is right in their own eyes.
Why is Ruth important in the Bible?
Ruth, biblical character, a woman who after being widowed remains with her husband’s mother. Where you die, I will die—there will I be buried.” Ruth accompanies Naomi to Bethlehem and later marries Boaz, a distant relative of her late father-in-law. She is a symbol of abiding loyalty and devotion.
The story of Ruth is a beautiful example of God’s impartiality. People from Moab were often loathed by the Jews, but God selected Ruth to be a direct ancestor of Jesus Christ. Mahlon married Ruth in Moab while Kilion married Ruth’s sister Orpah. After about ten years, both Mahlon and Kilion died.
What is Ruth’s main message in Chapter 1?
LESSONS FROM RUTH CHAPTER 1 Ruth 1:16-17 shows the type of commitment that should be standard for families and marriages today. Ruth claimed Israels God as her own which was a huge deal bc she was a Moabite who did not believe in God. “Commitment to God often comes through commitment to His people.”
Who did Ruth marry in the Bible?
In response, Boaz promised to take care of her, a symbolic acceptance of marriage (Ruth 3:11). After they married, Ruth bore Boaz a son named Obed, the future father of Jesse, who would become the father of King David.
What are the qualities of Ruth in the Bible?
7 Outstanding Characteristics of Ruth that Got Her Noticed and Secured Her Success
- Three men, three deaths, three widows.
- Ruth’s path wasn’t going to be easy.
- What set her apart and got her noticed?
What is the spiritual meaning of Ruth?
The book of Ruth demonstrates God’s grace toward people. In fact, the meaning of the name Ruth is “grace.” In the story, Ruth received blessings from God that she did not merit. And, being a Moabite woman, she received God’s blessings despite her status as a gentile woman.
What happened to Ruth and Boaz?
Boaz, a fair man, said he would give this man his opportunity to buy the land and marry Ruth. Long story short, the man was interested in the land but not Ruth, so he opted out of both. Boaz and Ruth were married, and they later produced the forebear of David — who was the forebearer of Jesus.
What is the full meaning of Ruth?
Hebrew Baby Names Meaning: In Hebrew Baby Names the meaning of the name Ruth is: Companion; friend; vision of beauty. In the Bible, Ruth the Moabitess was the great grandmother of King David.

Australia is not currently going to modify deliveries of the AstraZeneca vaccine against COVID-19, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said today after the European Medicines Agency (EMA) identified a possible link between rare blood clots and blood clots. vaccine.
EMA announced yesterday that it has identified rare cases of blood clots in adults who have been vaccinated despite the fact that, as it announced, the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks.
Australian health authorities have ordered an urgent inquiry into the findings by Coreper, with Morrison awaiting updates later today from the Drug Administration and the Vaccination Advisory Group.
Australian Health Minister Greg Hunt said the country’s drug regulator was free to make its decision “honestly and without fear”, including the possibility of ending the vaccine for people under the age of 30.
“If they give us age restrictions or other changes, we will do it, we will adopt it,” Hunt said in a televised news briefing.
Australian authorities had pledged to make at least 4 million first installments by the end of March but had only 670,000 installments available. The government attributed the delay to issues raised with Europe.
The Australian Government is considering accelerating the AstraZeneca Vaccine Vaccination Schedule as local production of 50 million doses in Australia is planned by CSL Ltd.
Vaccinations in the country, started much later, compared to other countries, due to the small number of cases of infection by COVID-19, with less than 29,400 cases of infection and 909 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic.

ANCHORAGE - Documents released by Gov. Frank Murkowski's office shed more light on the connections between Alaska Attorney General Gregg Renkes and personal business ties involving a proposed state coal deal with Taiwan, the Anchorage Daily News reported Sunday.
Renkes is under investigation for possible ethics violations as a result of his efforts to advance the coal project and because of his stock ownership in KFx Inc., a Denver company trying to commercialize a coal-drying process.
In response to a public records request from the Daily News, the governor's office released scores of documents, including including draft letters, talking points, a business development plan, and official and personal e-mails.
Neither Renkes nor Murkowski would comment on the documents, with the governor saying he's reserving judgment until after an outside counsel he hired turns in his report. Robert Bundy, a former U.S. attorney investigating Renkes, said his report may hit the governor's desk today following a four-month investigation.
The released documents concern a period when the state was trying to land a commitment from Taiwanese companies to buy coal from Alaska's dormant Beluga field, across Cook Inlet from Anchorage.
On Feb. 19, 2004, Renkes sent a letter to Taiwan's deputy minister of economic affairs, Steve Chen, inviting a delegation of Taiwanese coal buyers to Alaska. The letter talked about the potential of a coal-drying technology, K-Fuel, that could turn Beluga's wet coal into a marketable fuel. The letter was crafted by David Fu, an investor in the project. Fu is managing director of Kanturk Partners, a business partnership based in Washington, D.C.
Fu drafted several versions of the letter for Renkes, according to Renkes' e-mails. The attorney general sent the letter to Chen virtually verbatim.
A delegation from two Taiwanese utilities, Tai Power and China Steel, visited Alaska last March. But the executives later expressed reservations about whether the K-Fuel process worked.
In April, Fu wrote to Renkes again, complaining about how the Taiwanese coal buyers were hesitant about making a commitment to buy Alaska coal processed with K-Fuel.
"We need to remove any excuses that they can use to delay or not do this," Fu wrote.
Fu wanted Renkes' advice about sending a business associate, Carl Ford, to Taiwan to talk to officials there about K-Fuel and the Alaska coal project. Ford, an ex-CIA agent, works for Cassidy & Associates, a Washington lobbying firm that has worked for Taiwanese clients. The firm's chairman, Gerald Cassidy, is a principal of Kanturk Partners and an investor in KFx, which developed K-Fuel.
On April 22, Ford wrote to Fu saying he was preparing to fly to Taiwan and wanted to deliver this message:
"Governor Murkowski and Attorney General Gregg Renkes asked that I bring you an update on their thinking about Taiwan's future use of Alaska coal resources. We have prepared a draft road map of next steps for the project."
That same day, Fu e-mailed Renkes:
"Gregg, can we get your guidance on this? Carl would like to schedule his visit to Taiwan asap. Thanks."
On April 27, Renkes e-mailed Taiwan's Chen, asking if he would receive Ford.
"I would make this trip myself but I am not able to travel to Taiwan at this time because our legislature is in session," Renkes wrote. "I will travel to Taiwan in June if it will be helpful in making progress on the coal project."
Chen agreed to meet with Ford, who traveled to Taiwan a few days later. By May 5, Ford sent a report back to Fu saying the trip had produced positive results. Ford said that Taiwan's president wanted to move forward with the Alaska coal project and that his personal relationship with Murkowski "is the critical factor in his thinking about the project."
Ford asked Fu if Murkowski could send a letter summarizing the key ideas behind the coal development. Fu wrote to John Venners, another Kanturk principal who is also a lobbyist for KFx Inc. and a former business partner of Renkes:
"Cannot be better news, please read. John, can we get on the phone with Renkes and move this forward?"
On May 7, Renkes wrote to Fu saying he had received a draft letter Fu had written for Murkowski.
"I have rewritten your draft a little (it was very good) and planned on discussing it with the Governor (and sending it) tomorrow," Renkes wrote.
The three-page letter Murkowski sent, dated May 7, talked about the benefits of K-Fuel. The letter contained key concepts laid out in Kanturk's business plan and earlier letters written by Fu.
In October, Renkes said he had disclosed a potential conflict of interest to the director of the Office of International Trade and that he "drew a line that I could not and did not go beyond."
Renkes, who accumulated stock in KFx in the months leading up to the September signing of an Alaska-Taiwan coal agreement, said he believes the investigation of his activities "will remove any lingering doubts about my actions in my capacity as attorney general."
During his negotiations with Taiwan, Renkes' largest financial asset was his KFx stock, worth more than $100,000. KFx also was his most actively traded stock between October 2003 and October 2004.

BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Moderate Democrats, especially those in swing districts, have been pressuring House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to pass another coronavirus relief bill, signaling that blaming the Senate Republicans and the White House for the inaction isn’t flying back home with their constituents who need help.
One of the boldest efforts of revolt came when the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus revealed their $1.5 trillion coronavirus relief plan, with 25 Democrats breaking with their leadership and joining 25 Republicans on a compromise plan.
While she was standing next to Chuck Schumer, Pelosi made her position crystal clear. “I will not allow any bill to pass that will make President Trump look good in the eyes of the public,” she explained. “Some penniless Americans needing assistance will probably starve to death, but I view them as collateral damage. And if any financially struggling people get depressed regarding my stonewalling, here is an encouraging song I want them to sing.” Pelosi then began singing the 1978 hit song “I will survive” by Gloria Gayor.
Schumer who has been openly frustrated with Pelosi’s refusal to pass the bill, said to her before storming off, “You’re out of key, you stupid witch!”


Raj Ki Baat: Political struggle is relentless in Devbhoomi. This struggle is not about asura. Not even between two parties. The real war on the mountain is within the parties. Conflicts and internal conflicts and rebellions are the permanent character of both the major parties BJP and Congress in Uttarakhand. Since coming into existence after separating from Uttar Pradesh, there is a constant struggle for leadership within both the parties here. BJP is in power now, due to internal tussle, Trivendra Singh Rawat first went there and now Tirath Singh Rawat’s departure was due to alleged constitutional crisis. In Raj Ki Baat, we had told about the departure of Tirath only last week.
Other leaders of Uttarakhand Congress have become active against this siege of Rawat. The current state president Pritam Singh, who is from the scheduled caste, became active immediately. He reached Delhi against Rawat’s efforts to replace Pritam Singh as the leader of the legislature party in place of Indira Hridayesh. He has also presented his side by meeting Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi. Not only this, another senior leader of Uttarakhand Congress Kishore Upadhyay has also reached Delhi. His claim as a Brahmin face for the state president is strong. As a Brahmin face after Indira Hridayesh, he is definitely a veteran and a big leader.
What sparks Kishore and Pritam Singh’s meeting with Priyanka, now time will decide. But the Congress does not want to let this happen, changing the history of Uttarakhand’s change in power due to this head-football. It will be interesting to see what the solution turns out to be.

Poodle Fire grows to 12,100 acres north of Pyramid Lake
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - AUG. 15, 11 A.M. The Poodle Fire north of Pyramid Lake has grown to 12,100 acres and is 10 percent contained, the Bureau of Land Management reported Saturday.
The fire is burning in the Granite Mountain Range about 20 miles northwest of Gerlach.
Fire crews have limited access to the fire by road. Helicopters shuttle crews and supplies to the area and fire crews sleep near the fire so they don’t have to travel as far each day.
The fire crossed Nevada 447 on Thursday and dozers are building containment lines in the Squaw Creek Reservoir area.
Friday’s increased clouds and reduced winds allowed crews to get more containment on the fire. On Saturday south to southwest winds could have gusts of 25 mph. There is also a chance of lightning.
The primary objectives are limiting impact to homes in the area and to power transmission lines and to protect sage grouse and bighorn sheep habitat.
AUG 12, 8:30 P.M. A fire burning northwest of Gerlach in the Poodle Mountains is about 100 acres, the Bureau of Land Management said Wednesday night.
Nothing is threatened and it is burning in an old burn scar, the BLM said.
The fire is a holdover fire from a lightning storm that went through the area Tuesday night.
The BLM has five fire engines, two single-engine air tankers, one heavy airtanker and two dozers on scene and hand crews on order.
The BLM expects to have the fire contained overnight or by Thursday afternoon.
ORIGINAL STORY: There is a wildfire burning in central Washoe County north of Pyramid Lake.
Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue said it was a Bureau of Land Management fire and a BLM public information officer could not be reached for comment.
The Alert Wildfire collection of fire cameras tweeted a photo of the fire and said it could be a hold-over fire caused by recent lightning storms.

Nevis We are now one week into our grand adventure and the crew-mates are already so well bonded.
Today started with a breakfast dilemma of frozen milk and hot oatmeal. Once dishes were packed up and clean, it was time to pack a bag for our first hiking trips. Instead of going all the way to the top of the steep island, our goal was The Source, which is the island’s only source of fresh water. Our wonderful cab driver, Barry, met us at the dock and drove us back to the Golden Rock Resort as a starting point of our excursion.
It was an estimated 3-hour hike up and 2 hours down. The plan was to make it by noon so we could enjoy our chicken salad sandwiches prepared by Charter. Being as awesome as we are, we made it all the way up in 2 hours flat. The Source itself is a beautiful waterfall that flows straight up and down, surrounded by lush trees all around.
The hike back down to home base was easier than the trip up. Once we made it back to the Golden Rock, we all treated ourselves to grilled cheeses, chicken Roti’s, and various desserts and smoothies.
Barry very dutifully picked us up from the resort to taxi us over to the village where the majority of us ventured over for ice cream before heading back to our temporary home for the remainder of the night. Tomorrow we set off for Antigua.
Happy early birthday Mom

While proxy records have been used to reconstruct late Quaternary climate parameters throughout the European Alps, our knowledge of deglacial climate conditions in the Maritime Alps is limited. Here, we report temperatures recorded by a new and independent geochemical technique—cosmogenic noble gas paleothermometry—in the Maritime Alps since the last glacial maximum. We measured cosmogenic 3He in quartz from boulders in nested moraines in the Gesso Valley, Italy. Paired with cosmogenic 10Be measurements and 3He diffusion experiments on quartz from the same boulders, the cosmogenic 3He abundances record the temperatures these boulders experienced during their exposure. We calculate effective diffusion temperatures (EDTs) over the last ∼22 ka ranging from 8°C to 25°C. These EDTs, which are functionally related to, but greater than, mean ambient temperatures, are consistent with temperatures inferred from other proxies in nearby Alpine regions and those predicted by a transient general circulation model. In detail, however, we also find different EDTs for boulders from the same moraines, thus limiting our ability to interpret these temperatures. We explore possible causes for these intra-moraine discrepancies, including variations in radiative heating, our treatment of complex helium diffusion, uncertainties in our grain size analyses, and unaccounted-for erosion or cosmogenic inheritance.

Leaders in Manitoba’s north say it can’t be understated how important the mining industry is to the region, and that is why recent promises from the premier and the province have them optimistic about the future of their communities, and the future of northern Manitoba.
During last month’s throne speech in Winnipeg, Premier Heather Stefanson claimed the Manitoba government understands and recognizes the importance of economic stability and success in northern Manitoba communities.
“Northern Manitoba’s economic success is critical for our province’s long-term economic stability,” Stefanson said. Stefanson added she understands that the economy in several northern communities is directly tied to the mining and mineral industry, and said the province is now looking for ways to invest more into mining in northern Manitoba.
“We are building our reputation as a leading mining jurisdiction,” Stefanson said. “As part of our mineral strategy, our government will incent capital investments to produce Manitoba’s critical minerals right here in Manitoba.”
