The U.S. Air Force reported last week that Airmen from the 22nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron began testing the capabilities of the Large Aircraft Infrared Counter-Measures system on the Boeing’s KC-46 Pegasus next-gen tanker.
One aircraft is now equipped with a Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures, or LAIRCM, defensive system to protect the tanker from surface-launched Infrared (IR) guided missiles.
The LAIRCM is a directional, active IR jammer that is designed to defeat a wide range of ground-fired IR (heat-seeking) missiles. The system jams the infrared missile seekers through the sensor aperture, causing the missile to miss the intended target. LAIRCM automatically detects a missile launch, determines if it is a threat, and activates a high-intensity, laser-based countermeasure system to track and defeat the missile.
“We tested the system to ensure electronic counter-measures were working as intended,” said Tech. Sgt. Spencer Balint, 22nd AMXS laser safety officer. “The KC-46 is designed to go deeper into combat zones that other tankers may not have been able to access before.”
Acquiring the LAIRCM, improves air refueling capabilities allowing the KC-46 to refuel in combat zones and deter enemy ordnance.
“This will benefit the KC-46 because it allows the aircraft to move one step further toward war and deployment readiness,” said Balint. “This creates the potential for us to perform aeromedical evacuations while equipped with self-defense systems to protect the aircraft.”
As LAIRCM systems testing for the KC-46 continues, it will benefit the Air Force and improve its capabilities to support air refueling operations worldwide.
Tech. Sgt. Spencer Balint, 22nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron laser safety officer, fires a laser into the Large Aircraft Infrared Counter-Measures system aboard the KC-46A Pegasus Aug. 11, 2020, at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas.

As a child I remember my friends having an Easy Bake Oven, but I never got to have that experience. I was so excited to give my daughter the chance to own her own Easy Bake Ultimate Ovenfrom Hasbro. Easy Bake Ovens were first marketed in 1963, and have come a long way. They are now sold with a dedicated heating element replacing the incandescent light bulbs making them a greener item.
Danica loved the independence she was able to have baking her own creations (with a little help of course). The Easy Bake mixes that come with the oven basically only require you to add water, making it very easy for my budding chef to mix herself. I felt that the oven was very safe for her to use. While you do have to be slightly cautious not to stick your hands in the oven, it is basically fool proof. There is even a holding chamber inside to let the baked goods cool before removing them so that your child doesn’t get burned by the pan. I found it very useful that the cupcakes we made cooled so quickly so we were able to frost them almost right away. This is usually the most frustrating part for Danica waiting for the baked goods to cool before frosting. We both loved how quickly the cupcakes baked (only 10 minutes). On a slight downside, it did take 20 minutes for the oven to heat before use. I can see Danica spending a lot of time together baking our own creations!

This time of year – election season – is not one we typically associate with consensus or collaboration, even more so when the subject is health care. However, if there is one area of our social policy where there is broad-based bipartisan agreement, it’s the essential role of Community Health Centers, which serve as the medical home for nearly 150,000 patients across our state.
For almost fifty years, Hawai‘i’s Community Health Centers have been tireless advocates for a comprehensive, integrated approach to health care; one which recognizes that the social origins of health – where a person lives, what kind of education they receive, how they access social support – create lasting effects on the sustainability of our communities. Often, it’s Hawai‘i’s poorest, most vulnerable communities where these social factors hit hardest, devastating the health and well-being of many, including the elderly and our keiki.
Our patients are treated with compassion, a respect for their culture and beliefs, and an expectation that they will be active and engaged partners in their own health. This integrated and holistic approach is how Community Health Centers consistently deliver high quality care that actually saves the health care system in Hawai‘i millions of dollars, reducing unnecessary hospitalizations while improving the health of patients with costly, chronic disease conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.
That’s one reason local, state, and federal leaders will be visiting local health centers as we celebrate National Health Center Week. It’s an opportunity to recognize the innovative solutions and partnerships we’ve developed to heal our communities and we invite you to join us at events across the state from August 7th to the 13th: NHCW in Hawaii.
For decades, Hawai‘i’s Community Health Centers, and the Hawai‘i Primary Care Association, have been champions for issues which don’t necessarily make for bold headlines but, instead, have the very real potential to save lives and save money.
In the years ahead we will continue seeing any patient, regardless of their ability to pay, and offer the highest quality, most effective level of primary care in the state. And, most important, we will continue to seek visionary partners who will work with us to introduce cost-effective, innovative, and compassionate ways to modernize and revolutionize the delivery of care so that all of Hawai‘i’s communities are healthy, thriving, and sustainable.
Mahalo for all you do

US and Mexico Looking for a Resolution by Paul Heimel For the first time in American history, a President is placing Hispanic voters at the center of politics. George W. Bush has his administration have recently been concerting their efforts towards unifying the United States and Mexico, a task that has been on the priority list of past Presidents, but never as full-pledged as Bush. It makes sense if you think about it: Texas, long ago and far away, was part of Mexico. Now a Texan is trying to reassemble the Old Country, and then some. In a major step towards finding a resolution, President Bush invited Mexico’s newly elected President, Vicente Fox, to the White House State Dinner. During Fox’s three day visit to the states, a number of matters were discussed. The first, and most important to Mexico, is the issue of immigration. In a recent study by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, there are as many as 8.5 million illegal immigrants living in the United States today; 54 % came from Mexico. In a public announcement, Fox stated, “We must and we can reach an agreement on migration before the end of this very year which will allow us before the end of our respective terms to make sure that there are no Mexicans who have not entered this country legally in the United States, and that those Mexicans who have come into the country, do so with proper documents.” Fox’s announcement put some heat on Bush, who has faced fierce pressures from within his own party against amnesty for undocumented workers in the US, and pressures from Democrats and Hispanic groups in favor of a color-blind amnesty policy covering all Latinos, not just Mexicans. At the state dinner, Fox said he believed his nation and the United States could come up with a solution together. “We are going to come up with answers,” he said, referring not only to immigration, but international crime. “I am sure now that we will develop and grow together.” But Fox’s comments prior to his visit to the country tells a much different story. He admitted that sweeping immigration reform would take years, probably beyond a first Bush term in office. And Bush had signaled that he is not ready to push immigration reform plans. “Immigration is a very complex subject,” Bush told reporters on the eve of the visit. Fox has requested special treatment for Mexicans, but Bush said, “I have explained to him there is no appetite for blanket amnesty in Congress.” Granting legal status to illegals faces significant challenges in Congress, where many contend breaking US laws should not be rewarded--particularly as people from other nations make their way through the lengthy legal immigration process. Bush was forced to back away from earlier statements on immigration reform. He suggested in July the administration was considering granting permanent legal status to up to 3 million undocumented Mexican immigrants. Now he says he favors a more modest guest worker program, that would allow illegal immigrants to work here legally. Fox has had his own problems getting reforms passed by Mexico’s legislature in a rocky year in which his upset election brought a new political party into power for the first time in seven decades. But his soaring popularity has begun to slip, as he promised providing 1.2 million new jobs to Mexicans, and the number of unemployment has actually increased. North of the border, Bush has found a ray of light coming from the Senate. Recently, they passed a bill that will extend the deadline for illegal immigrants to apply for visas by one year. This timely effort will undoubtedly serve as a message to Fox, indicating that the US is serious about the negotiations with Mexico. It also opens up a flood gate that could elicit many improvements to the immigration process in the near future. Word Count: 647

New images of what is believed to be Microsoft’s Surface Dock 3 have surfaced online as part of a listing on eBay. Unlike the first generation of Surface Dock that shipped in 2015 featuring Surface Connect, this new entry codenamed Bergamo will now feature Thunderbolt 4.
Windows Central’s Zac Bowden, a reliable source when it comes to Windows and Microsoft matters has indicated that the entry is the “real deal” and should ship in the next couple of weeks.
Per the images online, it’s very apparent that the Surface Dock 3 is taking up a new design, and when compared to the Surface Dock 2, it’s slimmer, sleeker, and modern-looking.
What’s more, it features USB-A and USB-C at the front but retains the same design at the back. That is an audio jack, Ethernet port, two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, as well as the power input.
According to Bowden, the Surface Dock 3 shipping with Thunderbolt 4 support means that users will be able to transfer data faster than before when using the Surface Connect.
Additionally, this will open up the device to more PCs. Previously, the Surface Dock was limited to Surface devices because of the Surface Connect adapter.
As it stands, the eBay listing for the device is still up, but it’s currently out of stock with four units having been sold at $39.99 each. Microsoft is yet to give a comment, but we’ll keep tabs on the story as it developed and equally keep you posted.

BIJI BENIH KELAPA SAWIT
Di sini saya ingin memperkenalkan sejenis biji benih kelapa sawit yang istimewa berbanding kebanyankan biji benih yang ada di pasaran. Di bawah ialah ringkasan perbandingan yang akan saya tunjukkan antara biji benih biasa dan biji benih ini. Sekalung minta maaf atas kesulitan dalam penterjemahan ke Bahasa Melaysia.
a) Longer Tree Life Shell
Normal tree is around 20 years as the tree will grow high. Thus the capability for water to pump up to fruit become lesser and as a result, lesser fruit when a tree is arriving the old age period. With above tree type, it has longer life shell, about 50 year old and even that, the tree still can produce very much fruit due to its nature of height which is very short (You can refer to the picture attached below).
b) More Productivity
If 1 ekar palm land can produce palm fruit 30K ton in average monthly, with this type of tree, the productivity will grow 2-3 times higher which is 60K-90K ton in average monthly under the same arce of land.
c) The Resistance of Bacteria/Virus Infection
There is a study made between 2 kinds of trees (with 1 normal type and another is the above type), the above tree type show the better result in fighting against the bacteria/virus infection.
d) Ease of Harvesting
Due to its nature of height which is short, this will ease in harversting work.
e) Same Total of Tree per One Land Arce
Under 1 arce of land, if it is planted with the normal tree type, there can be around 55 trees for example. With this new type, the same total of tree can be planted without affecting the total coverage area.
f) Bigger Tree Stem
The stem of the new type is 3 times bigger than normal palm tree. It require 2-3 people to round the tree stem. Refer to picture below for better understanding
g) Price of the seed is slightly more expensive compare to the normal palm tree. However, due to the longer life shell [as stated in (a)] and more productivity [as stated in (b)], therefore, a land owner will get back the capital of tree in a very short time. Current selling price is RM10
per seed (biji). Add extra RM0.50
per seed for transport.
h) Faster Productivity
If normal tree type require 36 months (3 years) to have the first productivity, with above new type, it will require only 22 months (less than 2 years) to see the first productivity.

Awake surgery with cognitive monitoring has increasingly been implemented to preserve brain networks and functionality. More recently, not only surgery in the left but also in the right hemisphere, i.c., the parietal lobe, was associated with potential risk for deficits in cognitive functions, such as cognitive flexibility. In this explorative pilot study, we compare cognitive performance more than three months after surgery with baseline measurements and explore the association between cognitive decline and subcortical tracts that may have been severed during surgery in the right hemisphere. Twenty-two patients who underwent surgery for a right parietal low-grade glioma were assessed pre- and postoperatively using the Trail Making Test and the Stroop task to administer set-shifting abilities and inhibition. Volume measurements and lesion-symptom mapping analyses were performed on postoperative MRI scans. Careful interpretation of the results shows a change in TMT performance and not on the Stroop Task when the lateral part of the arcuate fasciculus is damaged, indicating that disconnection of the lateral part of the dorsal stream might be correlated specifically with impaired set-shifting and not with inhibition. More importantly, this study underlines the need for international concertation to allow larger studies to increase power and perform more detailed analyses.

Acting chief justice Raymond Zondo on Tuesday saluted former chief justice Mogoeng Mogoeng as having fought with courage to protect the independence of the judiciary through some of the most trying moments in South Africa’s fledgling democracy.
Zondo said he wished to thank Mogoeng, whose term ended on Monday, for his service on behalf, not only of his colleagues at the constitutional court, but in the judiciary as a whole.
“He served this country as chief justice during some of the most difficult times in our constitutional democracy and was able to lead the judiciary with courage, integrity and wisdom,” Zondo said.
Zondo said that when Mogoeng was appointed by then president Jacob Zuma in 2011, he rapidly dispelled doubt that he lacked the qualities required for the position.
“Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng began his term of office at a time when many people doubted whether he was the right person for the job and yet it did not take him long to prove that, indeed, he was up to the challenges of the job,” Zondo said.
“In no time, he won over many of those who had expressed doubt.”
Moreover, Zondo said, he became a popular chief justice, who spoke out firmly against corruption.
“He often spoke strongly against corruption in both the public sector and the private sector and emphasised the need for ethical leadership in both sectors.”
Like many others have in commenting on Mogoeng’s term, Zondo said the judgment he wrote in the Nkandla matter, in 2016, stood as a crucial moment in the country’s battle against rampant corruption.
The court found that Zuma had failed in his constitutional duty by flouting the directives of the public protector and held that the president was compelled to pay back some of the public money unlawfully used for improvements to his home in the KwaZulu-Natal hamlet.
“It has been said that the chief justice’s judgment in the Nkandla matter provided a turning point on accountability and the fight against corruption in this country,” Zondo noted.
But he added that Mogoeng’s contribution to jurisprudence went well beyond that case, and cited his ruling on voting on a motion of no confidence in the president, the so-called Economic Freedom Fighters judgment, and his South African Revenue Service (Sars) ruling on racism.
In the former, Mogoeng wrote a unanimous judgment holding that the speaker of parliament had the power to prescribe a secret ballot in such cases.
In the latter ruling, he condemned the K-word slur as hate speech and held that the re-employment of a member of Sars’s staff who had used it, was untenable.
”It bears testimony to the fact that there are many bridges yet to be crossed in our journey from crude and legalised racism to a new order where social cohesion, equality and the effortless observance of the right to dignity is a practical reality,” Mogoeng wrote.
Said Zondo: “Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng also made a huge contribution to our jurisprudence and wrote some of the most important judgments that have helped to strengthen and promote the rule of law, the supremacy of the constitution and the Bill of Rights.”
In addition, he lauded Mogoeng for initiating the annual judiciary report, and said his term also saw the enactment of norms and standards for judicial functions, as well as several advances in case flow management at courts.
Zondo’s praise contrasts with ambivalence commentators have expressed about Mogoeng’s tenure, acknowledging his spirited protection of the judiciary and the general standard of judgments emanating from the apex court, but deploring poor administration and a propensity in recent years to put his own views to the fore to the detriment of the office he held.

Late Autumn in Denali National Park, Alaska. Could not have asked for a more perfect day to capture the colors and beauty of the Denali Range.
After a long night of taking pics of the Aurora Borealis in Talkeetna, I stuck around to see the Sunrise over the Denali Range instead of heading of to sleep. Great move on my part as Mt Mckinley did not disappoint.

British Virgin Islands Government Minister appeals for BVI youth to live positively
BVI’s Minister of Education & Culture, and Youth the Hon. Andrew Fahie has commented on a number of youth organisations and groups who he said continue to make a meaningful and positive contribution to the British Virgin Islands. He noted that the positive contributions being made by some would help in curbing some of society’s negative ills. He further noted the importance of young people emulating positive role models adding that society needs all the positive contributions that it can get.
He pointed out that he is very impressed with some of the young people within his district adding that it is a great feeling to see that while the perception is popular that young people are contributing negatively that they are a significant number of those who can prove that perception wrong through their positive actions of continuous positive contributions. “As the representative for the first district, I am very pleased with the many contributions being made by young people and believes strongly that it would impact in a positive way on their peers,” he said.
“I think that others would recognise it, especially the youths themselves that their peers are making meaningful and positive contributions to the holistic development of their community,” Minister Fahie said. He went on to say that with positive contributions being made it is important to note that anything can be achieved as long as dedication, commitment, determination, discipline and the will to go on despite the challenges. “Young people must know that achieving things the easy way will never be the right approach as if you really want it you will really work for it,” he said.
Minister Fahie declared that while some of his peers and colleagues have given up on young people he has no intentions of giving up. “As the parliamentary representative for district one, he intends to reach out to all irrespective of social, political or economic class as we need to reach all the youths that we can. I want to reiterate that I remain committed and dedicated towards helping them as best as I can because while we question whether they are tomorrow’s leaders I am confident that they will lead us tomorrow,” he declared.
Pointing to evidence of his genuine and sincere desire to assist the island’s youth, Minister Fahie said that his ministry will contribute to devise programmes and projects geared at enhancing and developing skills and talents of young people. He urged others to get on board noting that nation building can only be achieved through a unified approach.
“We must be cognizant of the fact that already there is enough negative ills plaguing our society so it is important that each individual irrespective of who they are make a small but meaningful contribution towards the holistic development of our young people then we can achieve the ultimate success of eradicating ills. I am inspired by the young people and that is why I would remain committed and dedicated towards ensuring that they are equipped with the right skills and knowledge to take over as the future leaders,” he said.
Minister Fahie added that the churches served the BVI well in the past, but we need them to play an even bigger role now noting that while the pastors seeks to win souls within the confines of the church they must now more than ever venture into the streets, communities and homes. “As a society we need the churches to play their part as only through God can we be able to effectively and efficiently address the many negative ills that continues to plague us,” he said.

Design, construction and management of cattle feeding operations have evolved dramatically over the last 20 years. The quest for improved cattle comfort for consistent and predictable performance drove this process initially. Concurrently, changing regulatory climate towards greater environmental protection, particularly water quality protection by preventing or eliminating excessive nutrient or waste discharges to state or federal waters expedited development and adoption of new facility designs that would both provide cattle comfort for consistent performance and environmental protection.
Impact of feeding diets containing reduced-oil distillers dried grains with solubles on growth performance and pork fat quality of growing-finishing pigs
Reduced oil concentration in DDGS has minimal, if any, effect on growth performance and carcass com The reduced oil concentration in DDGS generally improves pork fat quality when high levels of DDGS are added to growing-finishing diets, but the magnitude of this improvement is not proportional to the change in oil content among DDGS sources.
This research was to work to understand consumers’ perceptions about various fluid milk products that are available in the market. This research looked at two variables related to milk and taste perception. The objective of the first part was to understand consumers’ expectations and evaluate the impact of a sensory experience upon perceived value of fluid milk in translucent high-density polyethylene (translucent plastic), white-pigmented high-density polyethylene (lightblock), and paperboard. The objective of the second part was to understand consumers’ expectations and evaluate the impact of a sensory experience upon perceived value of fluid milk at the beginning and end of code.

Black as He's Painted
If my girlfriend hadn't insisted on me reading a passage of this, I would've never have read Black as He's Painted, or any other Ngaio Marsh novel for that matter. My mum, a big fan of the British cozy detective genre, used to read a lot of Ngaio Marsh, but while I did dip into her Agatha Christie collection I never felt the urge to sample the Ngaios. Until I read the passage in question that is. You see, as so many other bookworms, I'm a sucker for cats and fictional threatments of cats; there's after all nothing as cozy as curling up on the couch with a cat and a book. And Ngaoi Marsh managed to sketch such a convincing and sweet portrait of a cat in the paragraph I was "forced" to read that I immediately wanted to read more.
What had grabbed my attention was the opening of the story. Somewhat unhappily retired ex-Foreign Office civil servant Samuel Whipplestone is going out for a morning constitutional, when he encounters a little cat almost run over by a car. "In a flash it gave a great spring and was on Mr Whipplestone's chest, clinging with its small paws and --incredibly-- purring. He had been told a dying cat willsometimes purr. It had blue eyes. The tip of its tail for about two inches was snow white but the rest of its person was perfectly black. He had no particular antipathy against cats." That's so charmingly written and nicely observed I couldn't help but read the rest of the book when I was home with the flu and in need of something light to read.
Ngaio Marsh can best be compared to Agatha Christie; she started writing detective novels slightly later than Christie and having an equally long career, her last novel appearing in 1982. Each of her novels featured the same hero, Roderick Alleyn, gentleman-detective working for the Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitian police. Black as He's Painted is a late entry in the series, published in 1974, very much a classic English whodunnit. Now this is a genre that pretty much had its golden age before the war and to read one set in 1974 is interesting. The plot on the one hand revolves around the attempt to murder a president of newly decolonialised country, a throroughly "modern" twist, but on the other much of the writing and dialogue could've just as easily have come from a thirties detective thriller. There's one particular aspect of the story that is not just oldfashioned, but somewhat embarassing. As said, the plot revolves around the attempt to kill the president of the African country Ng'ombwana, coincidentally an old schoolmate of Alleyn's, and some of the language used to describe him and his people is somewhat ... unfortunate. Nothing consciously racist, but there's some mention of the essential nature of "the Negro" and such.
Roderick Alleyn is involved with the security of the Ng'ombwanian president, thanks to his old school ties. Said president, or Boomer as he insists Alleyn calls him is somewhat careless with his security, convinced he cannot be killed. Much of Alleyn and his colleagues' security worries revolve around the big party the president will throw at the Ng'ombwanian embassy, a worry that's fully justified when despite all their precaution some assassin still manages to kill the ambassador with a ceremonial spear. It's now up to Alleyn to find out who killed the ambassador before the killer geta another chance to attack what was obviously his real target, the president himself.
Meanwhile much of the novel is little or not at all concerned with Ng'ombwana, its president or the murder attempt at all, as we follow Mr Whipplestone while he finds a flat in a cozy London neighbourhood, (coincidentally located near the embassy), comes into contact with the little stray cat again and takes her into his new home. At the same time he becomes gradually aware of the strange going-ons of his neighbours, including the man he bought the flat from who still lives in his basement, the old couple he has retained as his house help as wel as the grossly fat brother and sister who run the nearby pottery which specialises in making clay pigs. Of course this is all related to the Ng'ombwanian doings, but it's neither Whipplestone nor Alleyn that provides the one clue that hangs it all together. No, it's Lucy Lockett, the little stray cat that manages to do so...
What I liked anbout this was not so much the detective story itself, which was okay, but the gentle wit with which Marsh describes Mr Whipplestone, his cat and his involvement with solving the mystery. She manages to portray the absurdity and humour of it without making Mr Whipplestone into a figure of ridicule. It makes for a quite amusing read.

I took a plane flight to my brothers home in Massachusetts this past weekend and one of my chores while there was to inspect and pack five rifles I bought from him. The #1 rifle of the bunch is a 1895 Winchester in 30-06. The rifle was described as having a great bore but unfortunately, that was a slightly uneducated opinion. I found it rusted badly: probably from old service ammo and no cleaning. It is positively black. Likewise, the Remington pump rifle in 30 Remington is also a bit shady. I was disappointed but figure that they will probably shoot well regardless of the corrosion, and may polish up a bit in the process. If not, the Winchester will be bored and re-rifled to .323" and an 8mm-06 made of it. I have made several rifles in this caliber and have reamers and dies already. The Remington pump rifle is of no interest to me so it will be sold off with full disclosure to a collector.
A sparkling note is the 12 ga. 1897 Winchester (take-down) pump shotgun which was in excellent condition and the Lyman 50 cal muzzle loader, also in excellent condition. The best of the lot is an 11mm 71/84 Mauser that is positively new and unfired.
As I said, the 1895 was a disappointment but it can be reworked and for $160 US it was a deal not to be missed no matter what the bore condition.~Muir

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has suggested that engineers in Nigeria could play vital roles in repositioning the country’s renewable energy potential.
NNPC’s Group Managing Director, Dr. Maikanti Baru, said this recently in Abuja, where he challenged mechanical engineers in the country with interest in renewable energy technology to raise their games and support the corporation’s current initiative to create a non-fossil fuel driven economy.
Delivering a lecture at the 12th Mechanical Engineers Distinguished Lecture, which was organised by the Nigerian Institution of Mechanical Engineers, a division of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), Baru, noted the NNPC was favourably disposed to institutional collaboration and academic partnership with universities and research centres in promoting research and innovation aimed at diversifying the country’s energy sector.
He traced the advent of the consciousness for the development of bio-fuel technology in the country, to the establishment of the renewable energy division of the NNPC in August 2005 and the subsequent formulation of a renewable energy master plan.
According to him, through the years, the NNPC had remained consistent in its pursuit of alternative energy sources to complement Nigeria’s massive hydrocarbon resource base.
He also said ongoing efforts to create a diversified energy base could benefit from in-country capabilities and ingenious technological support of experts in the areas of mechanical and electrical engineering.
He listed the fields of competence the industry requires to transition to include, system reliability; control theory and modelling stimulation; mechanics-mounting heavy components; designing for shock and vibration; heavy power equipment, as well as skills in enclosure and packing designs.
Other competences required, he noted were skills in magnetics design common in every single solar; wind, electric vehicle and power distribution box; skills in thermodynamics involving thermal and airflow designs; as well as ability to handle rotating machinery and monitor materials reliability and cost.
He said at this stage, the world needed a clean energy revolution in order to break its inordinate dependence on fossil energy fuels, adding that such a revolution would enhance global energy security; promote enduring economic growth; and tackle environmental challenges, as well as break the long-standing link between economic growth and carbon dioxide emission levels.
“Nigeria on its part is endowed with tremendous prospects of growth in renewable technologies on account of readily available hydroelectric potentials, longer hours of sunshine in the northern part of the country and impressive wind speeds in the coastal and mountainous regions and land mass for the cultivation of energy crops like cassava, sugar cane,” Baru said.
He said the NNPC as Nigeria’s leading energy entity was ready to partner with the country’s engineers to advance the country’s renewable energy market.

Relatives and friends carry the coffin of Mohamed Reda, a first-year student in the faculty of engineering, during his funeral service at Al Sayyida Nafisa mosque in Cairo November 29, 2013. (Photo: Reuters)
Engineering students from Cairo University have announced the start of an open strike from this Saturday until those responsible for the death of fellow student Mohamed Reda are brought to justice.
The students called for Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim to face trial. They also called for the resignation of the Minister of Higher Education, Hossam Eissa. Security forces from Nahda Square, former site of a pro-Muslim Brotherhood sit-in and not far from Cairo University, were also included in the students' accusations.
In a press conference held at the university's Faculty of Engineering on Thursday, the students refuted the general prosecutor's recent statement which said that Reda had been shot dead by his fellow protesters and not security forces.
Eyewitnesses testified at the press conference that they had all seen security forces shoot Reda during the clashes on the university campus last Thursday.
Sharif Murad, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, explained at the press conference that more than 100 student testimonies had been gathered and that 40 of them had been submitted to the General Attorney on Thursday.
Murad added that the faculty had submitted a request to the university's head, demanding the withdrawal of security forces from campus, along with the release of detained students.
Cairo University has formally accused security forces for the student's death.
Eissa, Minister of Higher Education, has defended the security forces present at the scene that day, saying that students affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood shot and killed Reda.
The students have also demanded the immediate release of those detained in the clashes, as well as government compensation for students injured by security forces. Furthermore, they called for an end to the newly instated protest law, which requires demonstrators to submit plans to authorities prior to any public gathering.
The open strike and sit-in is yet another escalation in a turbulent week of student protests across the country.
Classes at Cairo University remained suspended as of Thursday.

Struck by a stroke at just three: Nevaeh-Mae's story
May 22, 2023
With mum Georgia and the family being transferred from Blackpool to Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, it was so important that they stayed close to Nevaeh-Mae, without the additional stress of finding accommodation.
Guest blogger: Georgia
In May of last year, our family was shaken to its core when our little girl Nevaeh-Mae suffered a stroke at just three years old.
Apart from my concern for Nevaeh-Mae’s health, I was also worried about how we would stay close to her, and to each other.
Luckily, Blackpool Victoria Hospital was already aware of the work of Ronald McDonald House Charities UK. As we were transferred, they gave us a form to fill out for Manchester so we could go straight on the waitlist.
After learning we had a room, we walked into the House and my first feelings were of complete relief. The staff immediately put me at ease with their welcomeness.
For the next 23 nights, we stayed in Ronald McDonald House Manchester and experienced all the highs and lows that come with having a child in hospital. But the moments that will always stand out to me are the House birthday party, where we could share our stories with the other parents staying. We all felt like one big family. We also made friends for life with another mum and dad who were staying at the same time, as well as still being able to celebrate Nevaeh-Mae’s birthday with family who came to visit and played with her in the big garden.
Nevaeh-Mae’s brother, Denzil, was a teenager at the time, and the House made sure that he could still enjoy being a kid, even during this difficult time, by providing us with a PS4 in our bedroom! He was thrilled.
It’s hard to give just one example of how the House impacted our family. It did everything for us. You had space if you wanted to be alone in your room, or if you wanted to just sit quietly in the kitchen by the window and watch the world go by. There was somewhere for you, no matter how you were feeling.
But firstly, and most importantly, it allowed us to stay together and be close to the hospital, even letting us have Nevaeh-Mae stay over a night on a Medical Day Pass! But it also saved us money by cooking instead of eating out, helping us to continue to eat well. We were able to make friends and felt comfortable around people who were going through a similar situation. The big outdoor area gave us somewhere to enjoy the rare sunshine and there were lots of supportive services in the Manchester House, like free food and toiletries if you were struggling to get some.
I really do believe that being so close to Nevaeh-Mae had such a positive impact on her recovery, but more than that, the House itself had a big impact on her recovery. When she was able to come over, she had the garden to explore so she could practise standing and walking again.
Without the Ronald McDonald House, we wouldn’t have been home as soon as we were. It allowed us to stay strong and not worry as much, knowing that the hospital was just a stone’s throw away. If we hadn’t of had the House, we would have had to pay for an expensive hotel in the middle of Manchester where the average cost per night could be anywhere from £50 per night, to £150! Or we would have had to have put my partner’s family out by staying in their home, which is still far from the hospital meaning using petrol or taxis or public transport every day to see our daughter.
When we were finally told we were heading home, it was emotional. We were delighted to be heading home with our little girl again, but we’d met so many wonderful families who we had met… knowing that their journey wasn’t over.
And our journey wasn’t over with Ronald McDonald House Manchester either. But instead of this journey being filled with dread and worry for Nevaeh-Mae, it was full of joy, returning to the House for a Christmas visit, the day of the 10K fun run we participated in to raise money, and being able to meet up with the family we had met previously who were staying in the House again.
Ronald McDonald House Charities UK will always hold a special place in our hearts.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, make sure to get on the waitlist for a room if your hospital has a Ronald McDonald House. Or, even whilst you wait for a room to become available, make sure you use the Day Pass. Once you are in the House, you’ll feel like it’s a second home. It’s so relaxed, friendly and has no judgement.
If you find yourself wanting to support families like mine, 1000% please do it. Even if it’s rounding up your McDonald’s by 20p, families desperately need these facilities, and you never know when you, or a loved one, might need it too.

For the final week end of Big Ten football, some thoughts to remember: And remember first that next year the schedules will be pushed back to end the season after Thanksgiving-- dumb, but that's how it will be.
Let's start at the bottom. Illinois must win at Northwestern to become bowl eligible at 6-6. If the Illini win they likely return to Ford Field to play another MAC team, possibly Ball State, CMU or Western Michigan-- and they already lost at Ford Field to Western 23-14 a coule of weeks ago.
If Penn State beats Michigan State, Penn State goes to the Rose Bowl. If Ohio State beats Michigan and Penn State loses to Michigan State, then Ohio State goes to the Rose Bowl. If Michigan and Michigan State both win, then the Spartans go to the Rose Bowl for the first time since New Year's Day, 1988. If the favorites all win, then Penn State goes to the Rose Bowl and a 10-2 Ohio State possibly gets a BCS bowl bid. But if Oregon State wins at Arizona tomorrow night and again at home over rival Oregon, then Oregon State goes to the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1965 and an 11-1 USC team gets an at large bid. That likely would downgrade Ohio State to Orlando and the Capital One Bowl and move Michigan State from Orlando to Tampa for a New Year's 11am game against either South Carolina, Vanderbilt or possibly LSU.
Michigan State should play New Year's Day in Florida win or lose against Penn State. Iowa needs to win at Minnesota to finish 8-4 and the Hawkeyes then likely would go to the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio. I have Wisconsin, at 7-5, at the Champ's Bowl, unless Northwestern beats Illinois, finishes 9-3 and then the Wildcats would either be in San Antonio or in Orlando for the Champ's.
The national title game already is in sight-- the Big 12 and Southeastern Conference championship game winners from December 6th likely will meet in Miami on January 8th to determine the national champ.

Clemson struggled on the mound but scored 10 runs on 12 hits Wednesday night as they defeated Western Carolina, 10-8, at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson.
“We played just good enough tonight to win,” Clemson head coach Monte Lee said afterward. “We swung the bats very, very well. I thought we played a good game defensively.”
Sam Weatherly got the start for the Tigers and went 3 2/3 innings and gave up four hits, three runs and three earned runs. Travis Marr took over and went 3 1/3 innings giving up five hits, four runs and three earned runs to earn the win.
Spencer Strider pitched a scoreless eighth and Owen Griffith finished it out in the ninth.
“Weatherly struggled a little bit,” Lee said. “Travis Marr, I was proud of him even though he got hit and gave up the big inning. He stuck with it and kept competing by filling up the strike zone.
“Obviously going into this game we didn’t have three of our best relievers available.”
Western Carolina jumped on the Tigers for two runs in the first inning.
Clemson, who has now won 11 of its last 12 games, grabbed the lead with a 5-run second inning, highlighted by a Jordan Greene double down the left-field line to score Sam Hall and Grayson Byrd. Hall also had an RBI single in the inning and Logan Davidson had a two-run home run to put the Tigers up 5-2.
Western Carolina added another run in the third to cut into the Clemson lead, but the Tigers added two in the fourth with some two-out magic. Kyle Wilkie singled and then Seth Beer hit a 424-foot home run to center field to give the Tigers a 7-3 lead.
The Catamounts plated three runs in the fifth and one in the sixth to tie the game 7-7. And then for the second game in a row Lee huddled his team in the dugout before the bottom of the sixth. Once again they responded.
With two outs in the Clemson sixth, Wilkie singled to score Hall and after Beer was intentionally walked. Chris Williams doubled down the left field line to score Wilkie and Beer to make it 10-7 score.
Western Carolina scored one in the ninth and stranded two base runners to end the game.
With the win Clemson moves to 37-12 overall. The Tigers host Austin Peay Friday night at 6:30 p.m., in Game 1 of a three-game series at Doug Kingsmore.

Institute for Fiscal Studies, March 2021
In this briefing note, we analyse data collected in the last week of February 2021 to understand parents’ views about two important aspects of the return to school.
On 8 March, all pupils in England will return to in-person schooling after what is hopefully the final period of COVID-related blanket school closures. This is an important first step in starting to undo some of the damage that the pandemic has inflicted on children’s education and well-being, and in starting to close the educational inequalities that have widened between those from disadvantaged and better-off backgrounds. However, simply reopening the school gates will not be enough on its own; addressing the consequences of the pandemic is set to be the most important challenge in education policy over the coming years.

Amiss one of our Canadian icons passing away, the driver of my Uber decides that the recent Bush anti-Trump speech.
What the hell.
First of all, I want to go home. I’ve been drinking and I want to go home. The conversation started off with how little power a security guard has. How they abuse power (just like cops) and police officers are able to do whatever they want.
Then he goes onto talk about the anti-Trump speech delivered by former POTUS, George W. Bush.
I don’t care.
I am Canadian, and we have issues here all the itme that we should be concerned about. No offence to my American friends and family, your country dug their own grave. Suck it up and do whats right, not what you were told to.
Talk about Gord Downie, talk about the Canadian politics or police and what they have to go through. Why is it we have to discuss that orange skinned baboon, and what he is doing.

A new study conducted by researchers at Swansea University in Wales has identified key risk factors for low baby birth weights. Some of these factors included multiple births, a short period of time between pregnancies, and when mothers have a maternal mental health or physical condition.
According to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), over 8% of all newborn babies born in the United States are considered low birthweight (LBW)– or weighing below 2,500 grams (five pounds and eight ounces).
So, the researchers aimed to better understand LBW risk factors in order to pave the way for more effective resources and prompt intervention scheduling.
The cohort study included 693,377 children selected from the National Community Child Health database who were born in Wales between January 1, 1998, and December 31, 2018.
The team used this data to anonymously link various administrative datasets that are routinely collected in hopes of illuminating LBW risk factors.
The researchers found that women who are expecting more than one baby– such as twins or triplets– and women who have less than one year between pregnancies are at the highest risk of delivering a baby with low birth weight.
Mothers who have maternal physical health conditions, such as anemia and diabetes, as well as mental health conditions– including depression, anxiety, severe mental illness, and use anti-depressants during pregnancy– are also at the highest risk.
Other risk factors for LBW highlighted by the study ranged from smoking, substance misuse, and alcohol-related hospital admission to domestic abuse, maternal age being over 35 years old, and residency in a deprived area.
So, moving forward, the study’s authors made various suggestions to address these factors and reduce the risk of LBW.

Related story: Owasso PD probes string of vandalism across several local neighborhoodsTwo individuals have been implicated in a string of vandalism that occurred in Owasso at the end of May.
Tyler Michael Pittman, 22, of Claremore, and Mykaela Lynn Jones, 23, of Owasso, were both charged with malicious injury to property for their alleged role in the crimes.
The incidents occurred in several neighborhoods, including Nottingham Estates, Barrington Estates, Pleasant View and Preston Lakes, throughout the late night of May 25 and early morning hours of May 26.
A few of the episodes were caught on home surveillance cameras, which showed two men and two women damaging mailboxes and yard ornaments, spray-painting vehicles and garage doors, painting a neighborhood entrance sign, scattering debris and egging a house.
The reported offenses occurred in areas that fell within Tulsa and Rogers Counties.
After images of the unidentified suspects were shared in the media, multiple tips from the public were received and investigated by detectives.
The case was submitted to the District Attorney’s Offices in both Rogers and Tulsa counties in early June 2019, and on June 27, felony warrants were issued for both Pittman and Jones.
A charging decision has not been reached in Tulsa County, but the potential is high for additional charges against other suspects besides Pittman and Jones, Owasso police say.
