WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday completed a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards adopted under his predecessor Barack Obama and will require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026 - far weaker than the 5% increases in the discarded rules.
The announcement - condemned by Democrats and environmentalists while being lauded by Republicans and business interests - sets up a legal battle, with California and 22 other states planning to challenge the rewrite of what had been one of most ambitious U.S. policies aimed at combating climate change.
The Trump administration called the move its largest single deregulatory action and said it would will save automakers upwards of $100 billion in compliance costs. The policy reversal marks the latest step by Trump, a Republican, to erase environmental policies pursued by Obama, a Democrat.
James Owens, acting head of the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said the plan “strikes the right balance between environmental considerations, health and safety considerations and economic considerations.”
Writing on Twitter, Trump said his administration was “helping U.S. auto workers by replacing the failed Obama Emissions Rule.” Auto-producing states like Michigan could be pivotal in Trump’s Nov. 3 bid for re-election.
House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, said the administration’s decision will harm public health and endanger U.S. economic security.
“The Trump administration’s anti-science decision to gut fuel standards will unleash massive amounts of pollution into the air at the worst possible time,” Pelosi said, alluding to the coronavirus pandemic.
A coalition of states previously challenged the Trump administration’s decision to revoke California’s authority to set its own stiff vehicle tailpipe emissions rules and require automakers under its Zero-Emission Vehicle Program to sell an increasing number of electric cars and trucks in the most populous U.S. state.
Under the Obama-era rules, automakers were to have averaged about 5% per year increases in fuel efficiency through 2026, but the industry lobbied Trump to weaken them. The new requirements mean the U.S. vehicle fleet will average 40.4 miles per gallon rather than 46.7 mpg under the Obama rules.
The Trump administration said the new rules will result in about 2 billion additional barrels of oil being consumed and 867 to 923 additional million metric tons of carbon dioxide being emitted and boost average consumer fuel costs by more than $1,000 per vehicle over the life of their vehicles.
Obama’s environmental policies were intended to cut carbon emissions that drive climate change, while Trump has ditched numerous environmental regulations that his administration deemed harmful to industry and has aimed to increase the use of fossil fuels. Trump also has pulled the United States out of a global climate accord and moved to reverse clean water regulations and pollution standards for coal-burning power plants.
California Air Resources Board chief Mary Nichols said her agency will move forward with its zero-emissions program.
“This is a watershed moment marking the death of the old view of cars and emissions tied to petroleum use, and another that looks to vehicle technology driven by innovation,” Nichols said.
The Trump administration in August 2018 initially proposed freezing requirements at 2020 levels through 2026. Reuters reported in October automakers expected a 1.5% annual increase after talks with administration officials.
A trade group that represents General Motors Co, Volkswagen AG VOWG_p.DE, Toyota Motor Corp and others said automakers need policies that support "a customer-friendly shift" toward electrified and other highly efficient technologies. "We are carefully reviewing the full breadth of this final rule to determine the extent to which it supports these priorities," it said.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a business group, said the final rule provides a “workable path forward on a unified national program that provides regulatory certainty while strengthening fuel economy standards and continuing emissions reductions.” Auto dealers also praised the revisions.
The administration said the revised rules will cut the future price of new vehicles by around $1,000 and reduce traffic deaths. Environmentalists dispute that the rule will reduce traffic deaths. The administration said drivers will pay more in increased fuel costs than they will save in lower vehicle prices but concluded they will save more in overall vehicle ownership costs.
The administration has battled with California over auto regulations. Last month, the U.S. Justice Department closed an antitrust investigation into a voluntary agreement between four automakers and California on emissions without taking any action.
Ford Motor Co, BMW AG, Honda Motor Co and VW struck the deal last year, prompting the federal investigation. The deal bypassed a White House effort to strip California of the right to fight climate change and drew Trump’s ire. Volvo Cars confirmed on Tuesday it was also in talks to reach a California emissions agreement.
Ford said on Tuesday it remains “committed to meeting emission reductions consistent with the California framework.”

I'm sure many of you have seen the "Great Shave Off" banners and donation boxes, located at all three sites and are wondering what this is all about. Well, the rumors are (unfortunately) true. Several UHN staff members, myself included, have agreed to buzz our heads in support of Toronto General Hospital's cardiovascular intensive care unit (CVICU) nurses' fundraising campaign called "Get Wiggy With It."
The CVICU nurses have organized this campaign to honour their friend and co-worker who was diagnosed with breast cancer this past January. When the nurses were supporting their colleague getting fitted for a wig at Princess Margaret's Wig Salon, they witnessed the manager of the salon scrambling to organize funding for a patient who needed a wig, but couldn't afford one. From that moment, the CVICU nurses have had a fundraising quest and the "Get Wiggy With It" Campaign was created in support of the PMH's Patient Wig Assistance Fund.
The "Great Shave Off" event will take place on June 22, 2006 as the finale for the whole campaign, but there are several fun events and initiatives being held in the next coming weeks. To learn about the events and ways that you can support the CVICU team, visit their booths during National Nurses Week (May 8-12), which will be set up at all sites and the Nursing Forum on a rotational basis.
The "Get Wiggy With It" campaign exemplifies UHN people's commitment to support each other and to help others. It's initiatives like this that make our family campaign a success and in turn, help us transform patient care.
I encourage you to support the CVICU team in any way that you can, and before I sign-off I must let you know that there is a bit of a catch -- if you want to see me and other brave UHN'ers get buzzed, the CVICU team must meet0 their fundraising target of $40,000. If that target of $40,000 is met, $10,000 will go to the Nursing Innovation Fund.
Visit www.getwiggywithit.net for more details.

The set includes this cute little guy, as well as images of a rooster, a pail, 2 chick images and several sentiments that will fit any occasion! For my card, I wanted a 'homey' feel...I used Stampin' Up's Sahara Sand cardstock for the card base, then a layer of paisley print patterned paper that I ran through the Cuttlebug using the Paisley embossing folder. I added a length of red gingham ribbon (Offray) to match his gingham shirt, and some red brads (Recollections). The image is stamped onto GP110 white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored using Copics...now that I look at it, I really should have carried the 'grass' all the way to the edge on the right side...I think I'll have to fix that...
Head on over to Sherrod Studio's other design team member's blogs to see their fabulous creations using this adorable set! Their links can be found to the left in my side bar.
Remember- both Downhome Blessings and Out of This World will be available for purchase tomorrow...AND don't forget about Sherrod Studio's Holiday Blow-Out sale!! Get 25% off all stamp set until December 15th!

Police study church audit
Police in Stillwater are investigating the suspected embezzlement of more than $140,000 from First United Methodist Church. Senior Pastor Mike Chaffin said questionable practices were uncovered during a December audit of the church's financial records, so police were notified. Police Capt. Randy Dickerson said the amount thought to have been stolen continues to rise. A church employee is a suspect — but no charges have been filed, Dickerson said. Authorities said the suspected thefts occurred from 2010 to 2012.

Now that the season is over we come upon another season of tumult. The burning question is do we reload or rebuild. There is a core that can be built around but before construction, there must first be deconstruction.
Last season the question was keep Amar’e Stoudemire or let him walk. This season the same question lingers over Steve Nash. What should the Suns do this offseason? Here is a player-by-player breakdown of The Greg One’s plan for Suns improvement, starting at the top.
Steve Nash– Nash went on record after the season to say he wants to stay a Suns and compete for a championship with the Suns. You have to love the loyalty Nash exhibits with those words, but is he also throwing a softball into the Suns front office? He wants to compete for a championship. The Suns just went from Western Conference Finals last season to not making the playoffs this season. Could he be subtly telling Suns management ‘Get me a big time player in here to help me or I am gone?’ Nash is the best point guard in the NBA and he deserves at least one NBA Finals appearance before he retires.
Once Jason Richardson was traded there was no number one option on offense. Nash thrives when he facilitates, not when he has to be the lead scorer as well. Nash has shown no signs of slowing down, but he did accumulate more injuries than usual carrying this team all season. The Suns need to bring a big time player into the organization and let Nash return to his usual role. If a major name can’t be brought in a trade, Nash still has great value to a team that is in contention for a championship and get some pieces to rebuild with in return.
Vince Carter– Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Channing Frye– Frye got the big money contract last season and performed like a big money player. The Suns did manage to get one thing right last offseason. Frye will be a solid piece of the core unit for years to come.
Marcin Gortat– Gortat ran circles around incumbent center Robin Lopez in production. Gortat took Lopez’s minutes, dwarfed Lopez’s stats and finally claimed his starting role by the end of the season. The Suns finally have found their center of the future.
Grant Hill– For a man who has had the worst luck in his professional career, Hill has made up for all that lost time by showing he still has loads of game. He’s not the high flyer he was coming out of college after numerous ankle surgeries, but he has made up for that by playing smart and playing *gasp* defense! Hill’s leadership has saved the Suns more than once and he deserves more than the Suns can offer. Hill is best friends with Nash on and off the court and they may be a package deal at this point in their careers. Neither really wants to have to play without the other. In this last two seasons of constant change, they were one of the few constants they had to rely on. If the Suns add a big name then Hill stays, if not Hill needs to be sent to a contender, preferably along with Nash.
Robin Lopez– Lopez folded like a deck chair after Gortat arrived and looked slow and lost on the court even before the trade that brought Gortat to town. Lopez has had enough time to rise to the occasion and he has failed miserably. Alvin Gentry pointed to Lopez as one of the three biggest factors in the Suns success this season. All eyes were on Lopez and by the end of the season none of those eyes, (including Gentry’s) could stand the sight of him. Good riddance Robin.
Josh Childress– No fire off the bench. Even with a year in the system you couldn’t do better than five points per game? Not good.
Mickael Pietrus– See Childress. However, since he did come over in midseason, we’ll give Pietrus a pass because he can shoot the three and play defense. One more shot Mike.
Jared Dudley– Dudley was a stud all season. Even when he was in the midst of a horrific shooting slump he hustled on defense and filled the stat sheet. Dudley will be a solid part of the Suns core moving forward.
Hakim Warrick– Warrick showed a few flashes of promise, but not nearly enough considering what he was brought in to do and who he was replacing. Warrick had starters minutes for a good portion of the season, but didn’t start producing until he was coming off the bench.
Zabian Dowdell– He was the best backup point guard the Suns had this season. Aaron Brooks came over at the trade deadline, but showed nothing to set himself apart from the rookie Dowdell. There needs to be a solid, consistent backup point guard in place for next season. Dowdell is better running the offense and cheaper (Brooks makes almost $2 million more than Dowdell, who is playing for the minimum).
Aaron Brooks– Brooks has shown in the past he can be an impact player. This season however, he landed in the doghouse in Houston and struggled mightily in the Suns offense. Perhaps a good offseason will benefit Brooks, but as of right now, I see the Suns bringing in or drafting a point guard. Brooks will be released and Dowdell will head back into the farm system.
Gani Lawal and Garrett Siler– Lawal will stay put and continue to learn the system. Siler will head back into the D-League and get called upon if someone gets injured. Neither player got much of a sniff of the court and this season won’t change things. Due to his status as the Suns second round draft pick last season, Lawal will see the floor sooner than Siler, but their job description won’t go beyond being an extra body at practice and guarding the Gatorade.
The Suns have two options. Rebuild means letting Nash and Hill go while they will be valuable to a contending team that is a veteran or two away from a championship. Think the Lakers, Blazers, Thunder, Hawks and Heat. Nash running the Lakers offense would be scary and Kobe Bryant would win the scoring title in addition to another ring.
The Lakers have pieces (Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum) that would fit in well at the power forward position and form an awesome twin towers tandem alongside Gortat. As much as I would hate seeing Nash in a Lakers uniform, Nash deserves a ring before he retires.
The Blazers have young pieces that would fit the Suns style. (Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, and LaMarcus Aldridge). The Thunder would be mortgaging tomorrow to win today, but Russell Westbrook for Nash would give Oklahoma City the best point guard in the league and establish Durant as the number one option on offense.
Westbrook wouldn’t be there eating up Kevin Durant’s shot attempts. I would give Nash and Hill for Westbrook today and walk away happy. Is it likely? No. If you’re talking a deal with OKC, there’s no way to send Nash and not get Westbrook back. The two would not work in the same backcourt. Sending a couple players not named Nash to OKC for Serge Ibaka would be a awesome get to fill that power forward slot also.
The Hawks have a couple great pieces in Al Horford and Josh Smith that would be great to fill in the frontcourt. Nash would be a infinitely huge upgrade to Jamal Crawford, Kirk Hinrich or Jeff Teague at the point guard spot. Trade Nash and Hill for either of their bigs and you have a deal.
The Heat need veterans to fill in the void after the big three, but who are they going to give up? Would they part with Dwyane Wade? Doubtful. Chris Bosh? Maybe. Bosh if the prototypical power forward and he seems to prefer blending into the woodwork than standing out like Wade and LeBron James want to do. Of all the possibilities I would want to see Nash and Hill in Miami in exchange for Bosh or Wade. If not those two, give us Mario Chalmers, Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller and call it a day.
The other option is pick up a big name in free agency and go at it with the core of Nash, Dudley, Frye and Gortat. There are plenty of big names to fill in that still open power forward slot.
Jeff Green will be taking phone calls. Tyson Chandler will be taking offers. Carl Landry, David West and the aforementioned Oden will be looking for a change of scenery. Any of those names would solidify the Suns starting five and take them from also ran to legitimate playoff team. Those guys would add toughness and defense, hustle and another big to clean the glass and challenge penetrating guards.
Which way do the Suns go? This writer wants to see the Suns go with option two, but whichever move they choose, they must go at it guns blazing and not half ass it the way they did last offseason by bringing in Hedo Turkoglu. We’ll be watching.
Talk to me Sunszoo, which option would you choose?

The classical A-frame condenser cell and the complicated flow field at the exit of the axial flow fan bring on the air mal-distribution on the finned tube bundles and poor efficiencies. This paper addresses the detailed characteristics of the thermo-flow in the A-shaped frame condenser cell and the influence of the ambient temperature on the performance of the condenser cell. A three dimensional coupled air flow field calculation is carried out for the rotational fan and the stock-still A-shaped frame-work with the computational fluid dynamics code ANSYS FLUENT12.0. Results show that the coupled computation not only could give boundary conditions conveniently, but also could reflect many important flow phenomena, such as flow backward, biased flow and the air flow field in the chamber is rather complex. The distribution of velocity and temperature in A-frame at different cross sections are presented. Furthermore, the inlet air velocity of the finned tube bundles under different ambient temperature are compared. These simulations provide basis for both understanding the existing deficiencies of the A-frame condenser cell and moreover provide direction for improved designs in the future.

- Perhaps unsurprisingly, the vast majority of research conducted on United States
Army Air Force bombing and strategic bombing in general during World War II has been
dedicated to the campaigns in the European Theater of Operations (ETO). This is because
over 75 percent of USAAF munitions used throughout the war were used against
Germany and its allies, and the theory of strategic bombing was best illuminated against
the backdrop of the British Royal Air Force Bomber Command’s indiscriminate and
deliberate bombing of civilian centers. The USAAF’s – and specifically the specially
formed Twentieth Air Force’s – own strategic campaign in the Pacific Theater, though
not totally ignored, has been given comparatively short shrift in the literature, mostly
because of the overwhelming attention devoted to their use of the atomic bomb. Yet the
nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in early August 1945 were only a tiny
fraction – and not even the most destructive – of the 26,401 effective sorties and 148,675
tons of bombs dropped by the Twentieth against their primary targets (though pound-forpound,
the atomic bombs were by far the most destructive). In many senses, the atomic
attacks were the culmination of a trend begun half a year earlier in late February and
early March 1945. Those months saw the inception of the USAAF policy of firebombing
Japanese urban centers, a practice seemingly at odds with the well-publicized USAAF
commitment to only engage in precision bombing of military targets. It is the
circumstances of this evolution – from precision to area or “morale” bombing – that will
be investigated in this study.

And man, I am having a ton of fun. I never played any of the DLC on my PC so I'm also having fun with that. The Kasumi DLC was a lot of fun, and I like using her on my team.

There’s a new TOPS arriving today, and it’s a cool one. This is the Modern Gladius, which quite obviously lives up to its name, translating the historic short sword into a comparatively compact cutting tool for today’s users.
The gladius profile is famous enough that it might even be recognized by people who aren’t interested in knife/sword history (poor souls!). Standard issue for Roman footsoldiers, the traditional gladius blade measured two to three feet long, with a straight, double edged profile and an elongated, aggressive tip. The symmetrical blade was paired to a symmetrical handle, with a stubby guard and straight grip that often ended with a bulbous pommel.
One thing I love about TOPS is that they make some stuff that goes beyond utilitarian. I don’t need this knife, but I certainly want it.

ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 (Quad Band WIFI6E router)
The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 is a large gaming router that supports the new 6 GHz frequency, also known as WIFI 6E. It is also compatible with 5G AX/AC and 2.4G lower bands. Despite its unusual appearance, it is packed with features and is expected to provide excellent wired and wireless performance. This triple-band router is equipped with a quad-core CPU and offers quad-band connectivity. In today's market, routers can be found in abundance, with many of them offering similar features. To stand out, manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to add new features to their products. However, as routers are limited by industry Ethernet and WIFI standards, manufacturers must focus on providing good throughput for high-bandwidth file transfer and creating user-friendly firmware with a comprehensive feature set. The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 is a high-end router that supports the 802.11ax specification and the new 6GHz band, also known as Wi-Fi 6e. This new frequency provides more than double the capacity of the adjacent 5GHz band, allowing for up to seven nonoverlapping 160MHz channels. This makes the 6GHz band similar to a brand-new seven-lane expressway, with access reserved for 6E devices. However, it should be noted that 6GHz Wi-Fi spectrum is not available in all countries and in some places, it is not allowed to operate at maximum power. This means that coverage may be limited for now and the 6GHz is not supported by most of the devices yet. But with this router, you can achieve excellent wireless speeds of 700~800 Mbit/s at 5 to 10 meters via WiFi.
The GT-AXE16000 is a quad-band router, which is not particularly unique, but as a flagship quad-band gaming router, it is the first of its kind. Like most Asus routers, it has more to offer than just Wi-Fi capabilities. The design of the GT-AXE16000 is similar to the GT-AXE11000. It has a boxy and bulky shape. The top of the router now has a mirror finish, which adds a unique aesthetic, but can be annoying as it causes reflections and is a fingerprint magnet. The ROG Aura lighting is programmable, allowing you to change the colors and create different patterns or turn it off completely via the web interface or the Asus mobile app.The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 offers game-specific features, including a new custom "Game Boost" mode. This mode intelligently prioritizes gaming traffic over other processes and can also stop high-bandwidth traffic, such as downloads, from running while active to prevent lag during gaming. The mode can be activated through a physical button on the router or through the GUI or application interface. This technology is designed to eliminate network lag and latency for a smoother online gaming experience. The router has a suggested retail price of $699.99, which is a significant amount of money for a router. However, street prices indicate a level just above the 625 EUR mark.

The 2017 National Drug Threat Assessment produced by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) indicates highly localized opportunities for a majority of those involved in the abuse of controlled prescription drugs (CPDs) to easily gain access to some of the most addictive medications on the market today.
The report, based on data from the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, indicates that “53.7 percent of people aged 12 or older who misused CPDs (i.e., pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives) reported them as ‘given by, bought from, or took from a friend or relative.’ Of these misusers of CPDs, 40.5 percent got their most recently used prescription pain relievers, ‘from a friend or relative for free.’… The majority of prescription pain reliever misusers indicated that the friend or relative obtained the drugs from a single doctor.”
The report further shares how those who recently began abusing these medications “primarily obtained prescription pain relievers from friends and family, followed by legitimate prescriptions or by stealing from a health care provider” (NDTA 2017, pp. 33-34). Although, there is documentation of some reduction in the availability of CPDs for illicit sale and abuse, new concerning trends have helped precipitate the recent declaration of the crisis of opioid abuse as a national emergency by the U.S. federal government.
The data contained in this annual report also highlights the ways in which the drug landscape has shifted over the last decade, with new threats emerging in the abuse of CPDs, synthetic opioids and heroin, alongside methamphetamines and similar illegal narcotics. “With the successful reduction in availability of controlled prescription drugs, more users may shift to abusing heroin, a cheaper, easier-to-obtain opioid that produces similar effects for users of prescription drugs. Heroin and counterfeit pills laced with illicitly manufactured fentanyl and fentanyl-related compounds have entered into the drug supply, attracting unwary CPD users with lethal consequences, as synthetic opioid overdoses significantly increased in 2015” (p. 43).
The increased presence of illicit and counterfeit fentanyl is of most concern due to the near impossibility of identifying by sight counterfeit medications laced with fentanyl. “In many cases, the colorings, markings, and shape of the counterfeit pills were consistent with authentic prescription medications. The presence of fentanyl may only be determined during laboratory analysis” (p. 59). The explosion of the availability of such illicit medications has localized the addictive danger of CPDs, even as counterfeit internet pharmacies also play a role in undermining consumer safety through their selling of such illicit medications without prescription verification – a point which the DEA report also recognized.
The findings of this report highlight the value and need for easily accessible educational resources about prescription drug addiction, especially for families. They also highlight the importance of ensuring access to tools for consumers to verify that their online pharmacies are legitimate.
CSIP and its members continue to build relationships and work closely with stakeholders to respond to these needs. Our Opioid Addictions Resources page highlights options from our strategic collaborator, the Partnership for Drug Free Kids, to assist parents and others seeking to respond to children suffering from opioid or other addictions. We also curate a growing list of related services from the federal government which can provide education and assistance in the face of the opioid crisis. Additionally, the CSIP website provides other curated resources to assist consumers in ensuring their safety when purchasing prescription medications online. We have also partnered with North Carolina, Connecticut, and a growing number of state governments to provide a portal for safe online pharmacy verification at the website VerifyBeforeYouBuy.org.
As families, communities, states, and the nation look to turn the tide in the opioid and prescription drug addiction crisis, we encourage parents, consumers, and concerned citizens to become educated and take advantage of these accessible tools to help raise their own awareness and those of others about these resources for assistance.
The Center for Safe Internet Pharmacies (CSIP) and our member companies have the shared goal of helping address the problem of consumer access to illegitimate pharmaceutical products on the Internet.

Or why, if the people ‘really the only reason ‘Ancillary Justice’ won a Hugo Award’ was that it was much better than ‘Warbound’, that there is no ideological bias at all in the entire Hugo Award process, and that, indeed, they personally didn’t know what so-and-so politics were, are right, then Ann Leckie and her fellow winners should buy a lottery ticket and become a multi-millionaires overnight.
Try, if you can, to realize this is not an attack on any one individual or work, I’m not saying so-and-so should have won. Nor do I think no outspoken left-winger should ever win. If that was happening, I’d be here fighting to see they got a chance. Nor is this an attack on the Hugo committee – their sins seems to be largely of omission, not commission.

In the recent weeks, I have been working on getting to see if I can generate an income from photography.
It is a rough road. No guarantee that you will get even a $1 from it.
Still, I like taking pictures and seeing what I can do with it.
I have recently decided to get into the universe of Photography. Universe as there is a lot, I mean a lot of information out there.
I love being creative, and the charm of photography nowadays is the instant gratification of a shot when you have digital cameras.
This might help me with my writing too.
In this post, I discussed the findings of a scientifically incontrovertible study (of myself) on the factors which influenced me when buying a self-published book.
The findings surprised me (which surprised me, because I was surveying myself). I found that I knew what made me buy a self-published book when it was in front of me, but not what put that book in front of me, unless I was browsing by genre (e.g. today I feel like reading a romance set in Ulaanbaatar: therefore I will now search specifically for such a story).
It was still hard to know what put those books in front of my eyes in order to buy them; to quote one of the commenters on that post – this is the thorny issue of “discoverability”. How will we find these books in the first place?
So I did the unthinkable, and asked some other people…

From MeetTheIntroverts.com 1) We need to recharge alone.
This right here is the cusp of the entire introvert v. extrovert debate (if there is one, anyway) – Introverts need to be alone to recharge. We tend to get completely worn out by socializing. This is basically what it means to be an introvert.
2) We don’t hate being around people, but we probably hate crowds.
I love being with people, but if you drop me into a large crowd I instantly feel like I’m alone and invisible. I try to avoid situations where I feel that way, so I may decline your open invitation to some random event. It doesn’t mean I don’t like to be around you, it just means I like to have more control over my surroundings.

Dr. Ward’s major areas of research include museums and public history in South African and in world history, imperialism and colonialism, forced migration in the Indian Ocean, transnationalism and oceanic history, comparative slavery and modern human trafficking.
Her first book, Networks of Empire: Forced Migration in the Dutch East India Company (2009) examines the Dutch East India Company as the first multi-national company of the modern era, in business from 1602-1799. Networks of Empire argues that the VOC (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie) became an ‘empire within a state’ exercising partial sovereignty in its fluctuating Indian Ocean realm. The book grapples with broad theoretical issues on the nature of empire proposing that unstable and shifting multiple networks constitute the dynamics of imperialism. An empire inevitably involves exploitation and subjugation of people who are drawn willingly or unwillingly into these networks. But how are empires peopled? Networks of Empire examines the circulation of people through networks of free and forced migration through which imperial rulers and subjects were constituted, and through which people collaborated and resisted control over their bodies and fates.
Her current book project Suppressing Slavery at Sea explores the suppression of the maritime slave trade in the nineteenth century before and after formal emancipation in the British empire. Abolition was a gradual process in other sovereign states and empires that lasted for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In most cases states and empires instituted formal prohibitions on the maritime slave trade well before the proclamation of emancipation. During the interim period between outlawing the maritime slave trade and outlawing slavery itself, slaves liberated from ships by the British Navy were often sold as “prize slaves” in a small number of colonies. After emancipation in the British empire, these people were designated “liberated Africans” but they were still not necessarily free to choose their own fate. This book will examine these borders between freedom and slavery as experienced by people who were slaves at sea and were subsequently rescued by British ships – only to endure a circumscribed freedom that was determined by international courts of law established in various coastal ports in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans for the purpose of adjudicating these cases.

LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — It's been a particularly tough year for the police chief of Alberta's third-largest city
But Lethbridge Police Chief Shahin Mehdizadeh says he was fully aware of the problems before he took the top job in July 2020.
"I knew the challenges in this department and in this city, and a lot of these events that are bringing a lot of bad press to this department," Mehdizadeh said in a sit-down interview with The Canadian Press. "I didn't come to this with blind eyes."
The police service has faced numerous controversies in recent years.
Last year, two officers were temporarily demoted after a review determined NDP provincial legislature member Shannon Phillips, while environment minister in 2017, was surveilled and photographed at a diner. The officers involved were concerned about changes Phillips was making regarding off-highway vehicles at nearby wilderness areas.
Separately, five officers and one civilian were investigated on allegations of conducting improper database searches on Phillips while she was in cabinet.
The force was also criticized in May 2020 for the violent takedown of a citizen wearing a "Star Wars" storm trooper costume and brandishing a toy laser blaster. An independent review said the officers had not acted inappropriately.
"There were some events that have really put a lot of negative publicity on this organization," said Mehdizadeh, "but a lot of these events ... range from 2016 to 2018, and any recent allegations are being tied to the historic events.
"As a result we have many investigations."
Alberta Justice Minister Kaycee Madu ordered the Lethbridge Police Service to clean up its act or risk being dissolved. He demanded an action plan to address everything from recruiting to oversight to changing the department's internal culture.
"If I concluded that the leadership of the force and the commission were not serious about fixing the problem, I was prepared to do what was necessary to fix the problem," Madu said earlier this week.
"They came back to me with an action plan that was acceptable and I approved."
Madu said he will wait to see what a public inquiry by the Alberta Law Enforcement Review Board turns up before he decides how successful the changes have been.
He noted that he doesn't blame the current chief.
"Let me be blunt ... I think it stems from the previous leadership there," said Madu. "I am very sympathetic to the current chief.
"He was brought in during the midst of these problems. None of these problems are part of his watch. This is a problem that he inherited."
The president of the Lethbridge Police Association said the problems that became public were years in the making.
"It's been miserable for us for more than the past year. I think what most people don't understand is what they're seeing now is predicated on things that came before. Nothing happens in a vacuum," said Jay McMillan.
"Many of our own internal issues were born of an era where there was different leadership in place, or a lack of leadership. It sort of created a culture here that was not healthy and probably not able to withstand any external pressures."
McMillan said most of the controversies don't reflect the service now. He supports the changes outlined in the provincial action plan, he said.
"You're able to look in the mirror as an organization or an individual and identify some things you can do a little bit better," he said.
"A lot of the things in that action plan were things that were set up to take place already, so it wasn't in response to the public attention. It wasn't in response to the justice minister ... the organization had already realized there were some changes that needed to be made."
Mehdizadeh said his job is to "fix these things."
"This is very historic stuff and it wasn't fair to really judge the organization based on what went on a few years ago," he said.
"I don't have the authority to make arbitrary decisions to get rid of people or fire people. There are legal processes that we have to adhere to, that we have to be respectful of and compliant to move forward."
Sanctions have been taken against a number of officers as a result of the circulation of inappropriate images, reportedly including pictures of senior staff pasted onto the bodies of characters from the animated "Toy Story" movies.

Ventilation Option Modeling for Laying Hens in Cage-free Environment: Three-Dimensional Case
Published by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org
Citation: 2018 ASABE Annual International Meeting 1801613.(doi:10.13031/aim.201801613)
Authors: Long Chen, Eileen Fabian-Wheeler, Dan Hofstetter
Keywords: Poultry, House, Temperature, Air velocity, Ventilation, Cage-free, Modeling, Computation Fluid Dynamics, CFD, Three-Dimension
Abstract. Practical recommendations are being developed for modern hen housing ventilation systems by working with commercial builders and poultry company management. Poultry facilities are going through evolution in design due to growing demands for cage-free products. However, no unified guidelines for these facilities have been established to accommodate these transitions. The goal of this study is to help builders and egg producers find an improved ventilation design to provide bird comfort and productivity within cage-free production. The method for evaluation is simulation of poultry house environment via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This paper outlines the development of a three-dimensional model of a commercial floor-raised cage-free hen house to document current conditions and preliminary findings for exploring options for ventilation improvements. A one-eighth barn section was modeled at full-scale with realistic geometry and representative animal shapes accompanied with existing ventilation schemes. Contours of airflow and temperature were generated to visualize simulation results. Three two-dimensional cross sections were chosen to visualize the pattern of air circulation and air movements inside and outside the barn at three representative locations. Compared to previous two-dimensional modeling, three-dimensional modeling delivered a more realistic scenario with more reasonable outputs, which can be applied to additional cage-free housing designs. For animal welfare concerns and disease spread control, deeper and more realistic investigations are being conducted in three-dimensions based on this simulation.

The Scottish music scene is one that is often derided by (predominantly English) critics for being too small and dominated by the same old faces. But this country is far more than the standard 500 Miles covers and sweaty three-in-the-morning singalongs of Loch Lomond by hideously drunk university students. Among our ranks, we have superb folk bands, brilliant progressive rock acts and so, so much beyond. This list is far from exhaustive but should make a good start for any foray into the rich tapestry of Scottish music.
Alright, so this folk supergroup is not entirely Scotland born and bred: however, this band are no bunch of part timers. Playing traditional instruments and singing almost exclusively in Gaelic, one would argue that whilst you may not fully understand the band’s lyrics, Daimh’s music is certain to inspire your feet into a jig, or inspire you into a Gaelic language course at the earliest possible convenience. The band have endeavoured to keep the line-up as full of Gaelic language talent as it can possibly be, with the addition of Ellen MacDonald on vocals being just one of many additions to the extended Daimh family, termed “Daimhmor”. With the group picking up awards like nobody’s business and gigging all around the world – including over twenty Scottish islands – there’s no excuse not to go and see them.
I found out about this band completely by accident whilst heading for a drink at one of my favourite Aberdonian venues, Krakatoa. I caught the middle and end of the set and became almost transfixed on the space-age, heavily echoed progressive rock that was heading at some speed towards my ears. Wishing I’d caught the beginning of the gig, I took headily to Facebook to find out what the Solar Sons were all about. It transpired that this Dundonian band formed in 2014, but did not release an album until early 2016, The Great Blue Divide. By all accounts, it was worth the wait. Whether you’re appealed to by the Iron Maiden-esque licks on Twisted Mistress, or the Mastodon-like behemoth that is Penumbra, I would highly recommend going to see this band live in the future.
Kilmarnock has spawned a few things in its time. A mediocre football team. Colin Mochrie off of Whose Line Is It Anyway. And now, Fatherson. Formed as a three-piece, they are perhaps the indie equivalent of one Biffy Clyro: regardless, they look as if they’re heading to Biffy’s levels of success in the future. Vocalist Ross Leighton has a rather diverse vocal range, and that weapon in Fatherson’s arsenal of sound is well backed up by instrumentalists Marc Strain and Greg Walkinshaw. From indie to stadium rock, they do it all, and are sure to grow into a band with the stature of Snow Patrol or the aforementioned Biffy Clyro.
Formed in 2007, this band is probably best known for having their song “Squealing Pigs” featured on NBC’s Chuck at the turn of the decade. Whilst their most prominent album “Boots Met My Face” is certainly worth listening to, it is Admiral Fallow’s less celebrated works that are perhaps the greatest gems in the collection. 2015 saw the release of “Tiny Rewards”, a subtle little album which, it can be argued, heralded a musical evolution for the band. With dates in Scotland this October in cosy venues, the perfect chance to catch Fallow on tour is just around the corner.

The 2019-2020 College Basketball Season started on November 5th and USF Men’s andWomen’s Basketball teams played their opening game at Home with the Women’s team taking on Jacksonville University Dolphins to start the night.
The Starting Five for USF Women’s Basketball getting some last minute coaching from Head Coach Jose Fernandez
True Freshman Guard Maria Alvarez played significant minutes for USF, as she totaled 11 points and 5 assists in 27 minutes of action.
JUCO Transfer Forward Bethy Mununga had a strong impact inside the paint in her first game, getting 11 points and 12 rebounds in 23 minutes of action.
Sophomore Point Guard Elisa Pinzan picked up right where she left off after a stellar freshman season, going for 28 minutes and gathering 9 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Junior Guard Enna Pehadzic was lethal from behind the arc, getting 6 three-pointers to put the game well out of hand for the Bulls to get a 70-39 victory.
A sure fire way to get the bench on their feet is a three pointer, and USF got 10 of them on opening night to blow the JU Dolphins out of the water.
The men’s team had their opening tip shortly after the Women’s game went final, with The Bulls taking on the
Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions.
The Bulls were fun to watch last year and are looking to continue the momentum of success and entertainment heading into this year. Pre-game handshakes are courtesy of sophomore walk-on guard Mark Calleja seen here with redshirt senior Laquincy Rideau.
Robert Steeg/The Daily Stampede
Junior guard Justin Brown developed into a perimeter shooter last year and is looking to establish a lethal outside shot, hitting 3 three pointers to lead all scorers.
After a season ending injury to his knee, the Bulls are looking to replace reigning AAC Rookie of the Year Alexis Yetna in their lineup. True Freshman B.J. Mack stepped into his first collegiate game collecting six points in 14 minutes of action.
Robert Steeg / The Daily Stampede
Junior Guard David Collins played well in all phases of his game Tuesday night, delivering four assists and scoring 18 points to lead all players in both categories. His flashy game was shown off here with a no-look pass.
Collins showed his ability on the defensive side of the ball as well, getting a breakaway steal that led to his Jordan-esque dunk to put a dagger into the game.
Overall, USF’s defense played phenomenal on opening night, limiting the Golden Lions to just four made baskets the entire second half. RS Senior Laquincy Rideau and sophomore guard Rashun Williams helped USF force 21 turnovers by Arkansas-Pine Bluff, including 9 steals and 5 blocks.
USF Men’s Basketball defeated Arkansas-Pine Bluff 70-41 after a stifling defensive performance.
USF women’s basketball faces No. 15 Texas tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at the Yuengling Center. The men will face Boston College on Sunday at 12 p.m. at the Yuengling Center.

THE WEIR Continues at Irish Rep Through Sept 15
The Irish Repertory Theatre presents the critically-acclaimed revival of The Weir by Conor McPherson, directed by Ciarán O'Reilly. The thrice-extended production, which opened on May 23rd, will continue at the Irish Repertory's Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage (132 West 22nd Street) through Sunday, September 15th.
In a remote country pub in Ireland, newcomer Valerie arrives and becomes spellbound by an evening of ghostly stories told by the local bachelors who drink there. With a whiff of sexual tension in the air and the wind whistling outside, what starts out as blarney soon turns dark as the tales drift into the realm of the supernatural. Then, Valerie reveals a startling story of her own . . . Conor McPherson's The Weir is a haunting, evocative evening in the theatre you will never forget.
THE WEIR premiered at London's The Royal Court prior to transferring to the West End in 1997 and Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre in 1999. It won the Lawrence Olivier Award as Best New Play of 1997-98. In a poll conducted by the Royal National Theatre, The Weir was voted one of the 100 most significant plays of the 20th Century.
The cast of The Weir features Billy Carter (A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN), Sean Gormley (THE SHAUGHRAUN), John Keating (ARISTOCRATS), Mary McCann (BLUEBIRD at Atlantic Theatre Company, where she is a founding member), and Paul O'Brien (MAN AND SUPERMAN). Ms. McCann and Mr. O'Brien joined the company on July 16th, replacing Tessa Klein and Dan Butler, respectively.
THE WEIR features set design by Charlie Corcoran; lighting design by Michael Gottlieb; costume design by Leon Dobkowski; and sound design by Drew Levy. The Production Stage Manager is Jeff Davolta and the Assistant Stage Manager is Fran Acuña-Almiron.
One of the leading contemporary Irish playwrights, Conor McPherson received Tony nominations for SHINING CITY and THE SEAFARER. His plays also include DUBLIN CAROL, RUM AND VODKA, THE GOOD THIEF, THIS LIME TREE BOWER, PORT AUTHORITY, COME ON OVER, an adaptation of THE BIRDS, and ST. NICHOLAS, presented at Irish Repertory Theatre in 2010. His screenplays include "The Actors" and "The Eclipse," which he also directed, and "I Went Down."
Director Ciarán O'Reilly helmed the company's recent productions of Brian Friel's THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY and Eugene O'Neill's BEYOND THE HORIZON and THE EMPEROR JONES (Joseph A Callaway Award winner for Direction; Lucille Lortel, Drama Desk, Drama League, and Audelco nominations). As an actor, he co-starred in Irish Repertory's 2011 revivals of Brian Friel's DANCING AT LUGHNASA and MOLLY SWEENEY.
Co-founded by Producing Director Ciarán O'Reilly and Artistic Director Charlotte Moore, The Irish Repertory Theatre opened its doors in September 1988 with Sean O'Casey's THE PLOUGH AND THE STARS. The mission of the theatre was and remains to bring works by Irish and Irish American masters and contemporary playwrights to American audiences; to provide a context for understanding the contemporary Irish American experience; and to encourage the development of new works focusing on the Irish and Irish American experience, as well as a range of other cultures. Ms. Moore and Mr. O'Reilly received a 2013 Outer Critics Circle Special Achievement Award in recognition of Irish Repertory Theatre's twenty-five years of producing outstanding theatre.
