“Krasny Kotelshchik” is introducing new technologies in production
PJSC “The Taganrog Boiler-Making Works “Krasny Kotelshchik” (TKZ) being a part of “NordEnergoGroup” LLC put into operation the robotic gas cutting machine. The machine is designed for production of pipeline components.
The new equipment is specialized in three-dimensional gas cutting. In particular it can to a high quality standard cut openings in shells of T-joints for further drawing of throats.
Earlier such operations were performed manually. Now this process is completely automated and this allowed reducing the labor intensity of cutting the openings and the time for polishing the products.
The new equipment is operated according to the special programs set by an operator. The programs were created with regard to the range of standard sizes of TKZ products. Prior to performing an operation the machine scans a workpiece, accounts for its position on a worktable and based on the received information determines a cutting path. Such system guarantees faultless execution of works.

The top two seeded players at the Qatar Open were eliminated in the quarterfinals as Victoria Azarenka played through pain to win against Elina Svitolina and Jessica Pegula defeated Karolina Pliskova on Thursday.
Azarenka held off a late comeback from top-seeded Svitolina, her doubles partner this week, to seal a 6-2, 6-4 win on her third match point.
Azarenka managed an apparent lower back problem with stretches and help from a physiotherapist.
“In the warmup, I just felt a very sharp pain and I was very worried," she said. "I tried my best. I really tried to just focus on what I could do and not think about anything else.”
The Belarusian will play Garbine Muguruza or Maria Sakkari in the semifinals.
Pegula continued her blistering start to 2021 by beating second-seeded Pliskova 6-3, 6-1, breaking the big-hitting Czech player's serve five times.
That took Pegula to a 12-3 record this year, including qualifying matches, in a run which has already lifted the U.S. player into the top 50 for the first time after reaching the Australian Open quarterfinals.
Her reward for beating Pliskova is a semifinal against fourth-seeded Petra Kvitova, who ousted Anett Kontaveit 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 in a match with 16 breaks of serve.

The Tragic History of the Japanese-American Internment Camps (book)
Creators: Deborah Kent
Book cover. Courtesy of Enslow Publishers
View in the Densho Encyclopedia
Overview work on the Japanese American wartime removal and incarceration for middle school audiences that is part of Enslow Publishers' "From Many Cultures, One History" series.
The Tragic History of the Japanese-American Internment Camps tells its story in seven chapters. After an opening chapter that follows the Matsuda family from the attack on Pearl Harbor to their imprisonment in an " assembly center " (taken from Mary Matsuda Gruenwald's memoir ), the next two chapters cover the prewar history of Japanese Americans and the chain of events leading to Executive Order 9066 . Life in the War Relocation Authority (WRA) concentration camps is the subject of Chapter Four, while Chapter Five looks at unrest in the camps and those who left camp prior to 1945. The last two chapters examine the closing of the camps and return to the West Coast and the Redress Movement and legacy of the incarceration.
In addition to the main narrative, there are many sidebars on topics ranging from photographer of the incarceration experience to the so-called MAGIC cables . The book also includes a timeline, glossary, and suggestions for further reading and is illustrated with historical photographs.
Author Deborah Ann Kent (1948– ) has written over one hundred books for young people. Her first book was a semi-autobiographical novel titled Belonging (1978), about the transition of a blind middle-school student from special to regular classes. Kent, who has been blind all her life, has written several other titles on the experiences of people with disabilities. She has also written many books on U.S. history and geography.
The book draws on many sources and incorporates many Japanese American voices. But there are a number of errors and over-generalizations. Perhaps the most serious is the blanket claim that "the Kibei tended to have strong loyalties to Japan" (page 73), which reinforces the same stereotypes that U.S. government officials had of this group. Kent also claims that Japanese immigrants "had little wish to return to Japan" (15; many—if not most—early immigrants came with the intention of working for a few years and returning to Japan); that "[many] German and Italian citizens were also removed from the West Coast under Executive Order 9066" (40; the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 authorized the detention of enemy aliens, most of whom were arrested prior to EO 9066); and mischaracterizes the coram nobis cases by claiming that " Minoru Yasui 's petition was rejected by the courts" while Hirabayashi and Korematsu "saw their names cleared" (103; though technically true, Yasui's conviction was still vacated and his name also cleared). Other minor errors: referring to Santa Anita Assembly Center as "Arcadia Assembly Center" (52); in map of the camps, marking Merced as a WRA "relocation center" (59); repeatedly misspelling the name of Topaz shooting victim James Wakasa as "Nakasa" (61); claiming that a " block consisted of fourteen barracks" (64: depending on the camp, blocks had anywhere from twelve to twenty-four barracks); citing the lowest rung of the WRA inmate pay scale as $13 (66; it was $12); claiming that only one Nisei won the Medal of Honor for service in World War II (80; twenty additional Nisei were awarded the medal in 2000); citing $400 million as the amount Japanese Americans lost as a result of the removal and incarceration (97; Japanese American Citizens League leader Mike Masaoka admitted to making up this figure in testimony in support of legislation that would become the Japanese American Evacuation Claims Act ); and some incorrect dates on the timeline, including 1964 as the date of the last evacuation claims case (114; it was 1965) and 1973 as the date of the first Manzanar pilgrimage (it was 1969).
A newer book by Kent and Charlotte Taylor titled The Internment of Japanese Americans (2016) is a slightly updated version of The Tragic History of the Japanese-American Internment Camps .

RUNNING OUT OF BEDS
Thousands of Ukrainian soldiers have been killed and many more injured since Russia’s full-scale invasion a year ago.
As fighting continues in the east of the country, the strain on the military hospital’s resources has increased.
The rehabilitation centre raised its capacity from 50 to 100 beds in summer and plans to expand even more.
“Unfortunately, the war continues, and the number of wounded is rising. There is a great need for expansion. We plan to carry this out in the near future,” said hospital chief Andrii Burachyk.
Doctors at the facility said attitudes towards those with disabilities have changed dramatically since Soviet times.
The support for soldiers at the military hospital is unwavering, but more help is needed for a facility already stretched to its capacity.
With help from the WHO and the British government, efforts are underway to build a specialised spinal rehabilitation centre in Ukraine.

When you know where you come from - the stock of your people - it's hard to ignore cries from a homeland you may have never visited but you still feel connected to. Such is the case as many of our neighbors in Schuylkill County watch the crisis unfold in Ukraine and see distant cousins flee their native land to become refugees, hungry and unsure of what the future holds.
Schuylkill County municipalities have some of the highest per capita rates of people claiming Ukrainian descent according to data from the US Census Bureau. In fact, of the top 20 municipalities with the highest concentrations of Ukrainian-descending populations, 8 are within our county border.
As we begin to watch people struggle with the basic necessities after abandoning their homes to find refuge in other nearby nations, Jefferson Grange #1384 is taking the step to improve their chances to survive and rebuild by raising funds for the UN World Food Programme and their work to create and distribute emergency food boxes with enough to feed a family for a month.
We have partnered with The Cake Pros, A Blessing Table Company, in Schuylkill Haven to offer a thank you - a giant yellow and blue sunflower-shaped sugar cookie - to donors contributing $5 or more at our in-person events or fund drive locations. This effort is part of Jefferson Grange's Hunger No More campaign, established to raise awareness and take action against food insecurity.
Our current Donation Stations are open during their regular business hours.
The Cake Pros, A Blessing Table Company - Schuylkill Haven
Studio 895 - New Ringgold
Muggles Mug - Jim Thorpe
Carmelo's Roman Delight - Orwigsburg
Palermo Pizza and Restaurant - Minersville
If you are a business and wish to partner with us to collect contributions and provide donors with cookies at your location, or to allow Jefferson Grange members to set up a temporary Donation Station, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.org or by phone/text at 301-943-1090.
Donors who stop by Cake Pros will also have the option of receiving a "Support Ukraine" coaster in lieu of a cookie for a $5 donation or more.
"While the need was borne from actions so bitter, your desire to help and willingness to give is ever so sweet."

Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said Lewis hasn't told the team that, but Newsome did say Lewis had requested to be traded before the 2005 season, the Sun reported. Lewis also met with Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti recently in Florida, Newsome told the Sun. The Ravens have asked around to gauge interest in Lewis, but no team has offered more than a second-round pick for the linebacker, the newspaper reported, citing unnamed league sources. Lewis battled injuries all last season, playing in just six games and recording 46 tackles.

Spring Break- those last two weeks in March when students from unis all across the U.S. flood to beachside resorts en mass to drink, party, get sunburnt, and generally do whatever they can to let off steam. When it’s all over, students retreat, hotels are less crowded, flight prices drop, and seaside towns return to their sleepy rhythms. This Post-Spring Break period becomes the prime time to visit places like Florida, when the weather is not too hot and the beaches are not too busy.
Four days into my holiday here, I already have a routine going: get up, eat a bowl of Captain Crunch, put on a swimming costume, sunbathe, listen to music. Today, given the sunshine, the bouncy melodies of Hind’s latest album, I Don’t Run, seemed like an appropriate choice. The madrileñas have a playful spirit, and whilst their new release reveals a funnier, sharper, and more intricate version of themselves, it’s clear that the band is still holding onto the plucky energy that we love.
Aside from the noise of ‘The Club’ playing through my phone and me singing the lyrics at a nearby pelican, it’s quiet outside. The rest of the house isn’t up yet, and I’m sat outside on my own. When ‘Linda’ starts playing, I feel a smile creep across my face. The song is quieter than the others that proceed it and is peppered with soft guitar rifts and lightly spoken lyrics that seem perfect for this setting.
By the time that ‘Tester’ is finished, my family is awake and we have decided to buy some from food for lunch. I take my headphones with me so I can keep listening on our drive through town.
Suburban Florida is, admittedly, a strange place. Whilst it is all the things it claims to be on the postcards- white sandy beaches, sunshine, jet skis, palm trees- it also holds a lot of surprises for unsuspecting holiday makers. With all its country music, alligator hunting, and 1970s-inspired interior decor, central Florida is a lot less sleek than it makes out to be. Roadsides are splattered with billboards advertising cars, sunscreen, guns, and the lottery, roads are filled with Chevy trucks twice the size of the average car in England, and everywhere AC units pump out excessively cold air to fight off the humidity outside.
And yet, for all its tackiness, Florida has its own charm. Though it might be off-putting at first, after a time its uncoolness almost seems cool, and its bright, loud exterior becomes the very thing that makes it so endearing. Perhaps this was why listening to Hinds felt so apt on the way to the supermarket. During songs like ‘Finally Floating’ and ‘To The Morning Light’, the interplay between the songs’ soft and raucous sounds achieves the same blend of sweet and sour that best characterises the nature of Florida’s seaside towns.
Lead singers Ana and Carlota may often deliver the same lyrics and finish each other’s sentences, but they almost always do so in contrasting ways. Whilst the former prefers soft, smooth vocals, the latter often seems to be singing with clenched fists, almost shouting her words through the microphone.
Back at the house, the food has been unloaded into the fridge and everyone is watching a film in the living room whilst I head upstairs. In true Floridian fashion, the sunny day has turned into a storm, and sunbathing is no longer an option. I choose to listen to ‘Ma Nuit’ again, a lo-fi tune about the band’s struggles with keeping up long-distance relationships whilst on the road. The song’s darker tone helps to amplify the mood created by the storm outside, and I let it play on repeat as I sit and watch from behind the balcony window. The moment feels bittersweet.
Just as the lyrics, the melodies in Hinds’ music are filled with contrasts and contradictions that compliment one another when placed side by side (at times even within the same line), the storm that has ruined today’s plans somehow doesn’t seem so bad when accompanied by music, and even makes the listening experience more enjoyable. Once again, Hinds remind me that feeling conflicted is not always a bad thing, and that often the good is better when taken with the bad.

Gerald L. Dillingham. This report answers the following questions about airports’ capital development projects: (1) How much are airports of various sizes spending on capital development & where is the money coming from? (2) If current funding levels continue, will they be sufficient to meet capital development planned for the 5-year period from 1997 through 2001?; & (3) If a difference exists between current funding & planned development, what is the potential effect of various proposals to increase airport funding? Includes testimony by Gerald Dillingham, Assoc. Director, Transportation Issues, Resources, Community, & Economic Development Div., General Accounting Office.

Madison Games Day was a success for TARGA events.
Some logistics to churn: The total turn-out for this one-day free game-a-thon was somewhere around 40-50 people, with no pre-registration and a request from the event organizers asking for referees to submit events. Event listings were just one-line announcements (see the Madison Games Day blog), so it was a free-for-all to attract players.
Chad Thorson and myself showed up at Noon, and appropriated a table. We then attracted players for an OD&D session using Labyrinth Lord, with character generation in five minutes and then a quick dive into Under Xylarthen’s Tower. About three hours in, we ended the session after dispatching the white apes, and the acquisition of a magic sword.
After a break for pizza, we resumed with the same group of players for a session of Empire of the Petal Throne. The Band of Heroes was sent off to discover more about ancient devices under Fort Pu’er and ended up on a Tubeway Car jaunt across Tekumel. Ice temples, Ssu, and King Griggatsetsa were all encountered, before ending up in Avanthar.
Things broke up around 9pm, as the organizers shut things down about then.
Some lessons learned:
1) Having a referee and at least one player makes recruiting more players easier. Having Chad ready to play broke the ice for the rest of the players, so I was really happy we had coordinated things.
2) Running several different games is more work than it might seem. I had originally planned on running Classic Traveller in addition to OD&D and EPT, and I ended up with four book bags of gaming material – all of which were heavy. It would’ve been much easier to run the same game three times and leave the other stuff at home.
3) Having flyers and swag to hand out is a Good Thing. I had a table display and a bunch of flyers, several copies of Microlite 74 v.1.1 in booklet form as swag, and One Page Old School Primers. They ate it up.
More of a write-up can be found at The Sandbox of Doom. The next Madison Games Day 2 will be sometime in January; we might have two sets of events to run there.

TURIN: Coach Luciano Spalletti blasted Inter Milan’s “sloppy and careless” performance as the fallen Serie A giants hopes of capturing this year’s title faded with a 1-0 loss to Juventus on Friday.
Chinese-owned Inter, who finished fourth last season, had looked a serious rival to reigning seven-time champions Juventus with summer signings such as Radja Nainggolan, Matteo Politano, Sime Vrsjalko and Keita Balde.
But despite their spending spree Spalletti’s side proved to be no match for Juventus, even with Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo not as omnipresent as usual on the night for the Turin giants.
Inter sit third, but are now 14 points behind Juventus, and risk losing ground on second-placed Napoli, who are three points ahead of Spalletti’s side, and play lowly Frosinone Saturday.
City rivals AC Milan, just behind in fourth, could also close the gap when they host Torino.
Mario Mandzukic’s diving header after 66 minutes was enough to settle the Derby d’Italia with Inter’s Roberto Gagliardini missing a golden chance after 30 minutes to help Inter to their first win in Turin since November 2012.
“We managed the game in the right way for long spells, but we’re still too careless at times and sloppy,” said Spalletti.
“It would have made a world of difference had we taken the lead, but we misplaced too many passes, we made too many banal and cheap errors.
“There were situations where we didn’t interpret or read them property while Juventus didn’t do anything wrong,” said Spalletti.
“Unfortunately, Juve are smart and we are naive. They have a way of wasting five minutes after a foul.”
‘EFFECTIVE AND CLINICAL’:
Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini was imperious in defence denying Inter striker Mauro Icardi a single shot on goal as the Argentine hitman tried to add to his eight-goal tally in Serie A.
But Spalletti defended the Inter captain.
“Icardi had the game that he needed to have, he did some great work in dropping to help the team,” said the former Roma and Zenit Saint Petersburg boss.
“We were only on the back foot at the end of the first half and missed two big chances – you can’t miss chances like this against Juventus.”
After a stuttering start to the season Spalletti’s side won seven consecutive games but have now taken just four points from their last four matches, and will host Napoli on December 26.
“We go home having not got any points, but we know that we’re capable of getting a lot of points. We’ll see where we are in March or April,” said Spalletti.
Next up is Tuesday’s crucial Champions League game against PSV Eindhoven at the San Siro as they look to seal their place in the knockout rounds.
Inter returned to the elite European competition this season after an eight-year absence since Jose Mourinho’s reign when they completed the first treble of Serie A, domestic Cup and Champions League in Italian history in 2010.
Since those days it has been lean times for the 18-time Italian and three-time European champions, with the only title of any sort a 2011 Italian Cup crown.
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri praised his team for being “effective and clinical” as they remain unbeaten this season.
Juventus also equalled the best ever start to a campaign in the top five European leagues set by Paris Saint-Germain this season with 43 points from 15 rounds.
“It’s an important three points today because it means we’re one win closer to achieving our goal in the league,” said Allegri.

Day 77: Nowhere To Go But Up
From Seiad Valley mile 1653.4 to mile 1676.8
Seiad Valley is at 1500 elevation so, unless you head to the ocean, there is no where to go but up from there. I ended the day at about 6200 feet or up about 4700 feet.
Cloud cover today saved the day. The first ten miles, most of the climb, are all without shade. It would have been truly miserable if the sun had been out. It was out, but only after noon when the worst was past.
Oh, obviously I decided to hike on with my damaged boot until Ashland where I will get replacements. I’ve got about 40 miles to Ashland so if I can do 25 miles tomorrow I can get to town early Friday afternoon.

Many researchers have recently been very interested in the recovery of valuable materials from fly ash. One of them is cenospheres, which are beneficial for light weighted material components due to their physical and chemical characteristics. Cenospheres recovery technologies are mostly based on wet separation process due to their density, which is lower than water density. Meanwhile the possibility of dry separation process has not yet been fully explored. In contrast to wet separation, a dry separation process provides substantial benefits. These benefits include: much less land consumption and reduced levels of pollution related to the leaching of toxic materials from coal fly ash. In this study, experimental work has been conducted using two types of dry separation processes: a pneumatic separator closed type and a micron separator. Comparing the two alternative techniques, the micron separator obtained Newton's efficiency higher than that of pneumatic separator closed type and showed a better degree of separation. Cenospheres recovery, particle distribution and visualisation of both underflow and overflow product using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were also performed to comprehensively depict the separation performance of both dry separation processes. It was found that micron separator's Newton's efficiency tendency is in line with the estimate, showing that dry separation process achieves a degree of separation as high as the commonly used technology which is wet separation process.

The Ashcroft Peewee team faced off against Merritt on Dec. 3 in the Drylands Arena. Merritt managed to score within the first 30 seconds but Ashcroft did a great job in holding them off for most of the rest of the first period. Merritt was able to get three more goals, with Ashcroft’s Kraig Loring scoring one in return, assisted by Hunter Beckett.
Ashcroft came out strong in the second period, seeing Hayden Aie assisting Hunter Beckett for one goal, and Hunter scoring another one unassisted. The defense held Merritt off except for two quick goals to make the score 6-3 going into the third.
Pearce Brown’s goal tending was great and Merritt was only able to get three more goals. Ashcroft answered back with two more of their own, Kraig Loring assisting Hunter Beckett and another unassisted goal by Hunter. The defense played so well, helping Pearce keep the puck out of the net, with our offense driving the puck to the other end every chance they had. The final score was 9-5 for Merritt.
The players on our Peewee team have so much heart it is a pleasure watching them develop their skills and really come together as a team. The next home game is Dec. 17 at 11:30. We will see everyone there!

Judiciary mourns Justice Vaepule's passing
The Judiciary is mourning the passing of former Supreme Court Justice Vaepule Alo Vaemoa Vaai, who has died in New Zealand.
He was 67. Justice Vaepule is survived by his wife, Letuimanu'asina Dr. Emma Kruse Vaai, their children and grandchildren.
Supreme Court Justice Vui Clarence Nelson was devastated when he heard of Justice Vaepule's passing.
“This is a huge loss to the Samoa Judiciary,” he said.
Justice Vui said Justice Vaepule is a true and faithful servant.
“One who has been here from the beginning and well understood the challenges facing the country," he said. “A fierce defender of the Land Titles Court who believed that real change must come from within.”
Justice Vui said Justice Vaepule will also be missed by his colleagues in rugby which he was very passionate about.
“We will miss him and his sardonic wit very much.”
Another Supreme Court Justice, Fepulea’i Ameperosa Roma, shared the memories with his mentor.
“He was a brilliant judge and a great mentor,” Justice Fepulea'i said.
He said, he met Justice Vaepule when they were both working at the Samoa National Provident Fund in the late 1990’s.
“He was the Manager Investments and I was a legal officer. He went on to become the Public Trustee before his appointment to the Bench first as District Court Judge, a Senior District Judge and later a Justice of the Supreme Court.”
Justice Fepulea’i said that during his time in private practice, he appeared before Justice Vaepule on numerous matters.
"This was before I became one of his colleagues on the Samoan Judiciary. [Justice Vaepule] was calm but firm and sound in his views.
“As a friend, I remember him as quiet and very humble but full of humours” said Fepulea’i.
Supreme Court Justice Tafaoimalo Leilani Tuala-Warren was saddened upon hearing the news of the passing of her mentor.
“He was a friend mentor colleague and the nicest person you could ever come across. He is dearly missed.
“I will always remember his sense of humour his wit his calmness his humility and his helpfulness.”
Justice Tafaoimalo said Justice Vaepule’s time on the bench had a huge impact on her career as a Judge.
Former Judge and Member of Parliament, Lefau Harry Schuster, took a walk down memory lane when he first attended Victoria University and met up with Justice Vaepule.
“The first two years of law school was difficult but [Justice Vaepule] took the time to take us through the ropes, the new law students from Samoa,” he said.
According to Lefau, Justice Vaepule was very helpful and was his mentor.
“He is my idol, my mentor and I will miss his counsel. Whenever I am having a hard time, I always knew I can turn to Vaepule for his counsel,” said Lefau while fighting back his emotions. He said that Justice Vaepule was a great rugby player during their time at the University.
"A decent man and this loss to me is not only as a professional colleague, but a true and loyal friend who was always ready to lend a helping hand, I will miss him,” said Lefau.
The former Judge said he was approached to become a judge twice, but only took the job after Justice Vaepule convinced him it was the right thing to do.
Justice Vaepule had been a Judge for the District Court for nearly two decades prior to moving up to the Supreme Court as one of the Justices.

In your E-mail you mentioned that an ancestor of yours lived in Australia. I have been trying to locate a John Arthur Sinclair who is reputed to have saied to Australia in 1970 after spending a period of time in the South African Navy in Simon's Town. He was born on 1 November 1918 and, although he had a strong Scotting accent, could have had Australian ties. Do you know the names of the ten children of which you wrote?

The Week on Wall Street
Stocks ended last week higher as volatility slowed, completing their best quarter since 2009. A Friday tweet from Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin encouraged investors, referring to “constructive” discussions in the ongoing U.S.-China trade negotiations.
The S&P 500 gained 1.27% for the week. The Dow Industrials and Nasdaq Composite both exceeded that advance: the Dow rose 1.60%; the Nasdaq, 1.42%.
Foreign shares went the other way. The MSCI EAFE index following international stocks retreated 0.91%.
2019 Could Be a Big Year for IPOs
One of the ride-share pioneers, Lyft, closed on its initial public offering (IPO) on Friday, and a glance at the IPO calendar shows that as many as 226 companies could soon go public, with Uber and Airbnb possibly among them.
This IPO wave may be a signal of a market top, or it may point to a comeback for risk appetite, which could be healthy for the overall market.
Should some big-name IPOs stumble, it may deter others from moving ahead, which may influence the market psychology. Conversely, an enthusiastic reception may help support further market advances.
Good News for the Housing Market
The Fed’s dovish tone has also influenced home loan rates. Freddie Mac’s latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey shows an average interest rate of just 4.06% on a 30-year, fixed rate mortgage, compared with 4.28% a week earlier and 4.95% in December.
This news is especially significant given the recent pickup in existing home sales. They jumped 11.8% in February, the biggest monthly gain in more than three years.
The federal income tax filing deadline is Monday, April 15, 2019. However, residents of Maine and Massachusetts have until Wednesday, April 17 to file their 2018 tax return. April 15 is Patriots’ Day, and April 16 is Emancipation Day.

Ventilation is actually a process through which fresh air is intentionally pushed inside a space and stale air is thrown out. The ventilating process can be achieved naturally or mechanically. The ventilators and Ac have been used since a long time to maintain a nice air flow inside a building or a house. Fresh air helps to lower down the temperature of the house. Ventilation is very essential part of home improvement.
Artificial infiltration: apart from intentional ventilation, air also enters the building through infiltration process. Infiltration process is uncontrollable air flow in a certain space by unintentional and adventitious cracks and gaps in the envelope of the building. The loss of air through enclosed space is known as exfiltration.
The amount of air that will enter inside the building depends upon the porosity and the magnitude of various natural factors like temperature and wind. Various vents and openings in the building created deliberately are also a part of the ventilating design.
They form routes for the natural airflow at times when pressure acting at such places is subjugated by the climatic conditions. Natural air flow or infiltration is quite different from mechanical infiltration. Air infiltration helps in adding to the amount of air entering inside the building and but may hamper or alter the intentional air flow pattern.
The magnitude of the filtration process is often ignored by the architect or the designer which decreases the performance, extreme energy performance and inadequate heating (or cooling) of the building. There are some air tightness standards that are often used by the countries to limit the infiltration loss.
Maintaining proper standards during deigning any building or house is compulsory so that various home improvement factors are included. Air recirculation is used commercially to help in thermal conditioning. The air that is circulated across the building is filtered from time to time to settle down dust particles from it. But it usually does not provide any helpful conditioning since oxygen and dust particles are not removed or replenished properly and oxygen is not recovered.
Some of the leakages through ducts and ventilation joints, air conditioning or heating are substantial. According to modera in 1993, estimates that more than 20% of the heat through North American warm air systems may be lost by duct leakage. Also most of the opening in the building accounts for the entry of pollutants and dust particles.
The design used to construct a particular building really matters a lot in deciding whether the ventilating areas and openings in the building are really helping in conditioning or are just adding to improper ventilation. So, designing a building in a right form and design is very important to let people stay in it peacefully and happily.

hmm, if memory serves right, I had reading core working at some point.
But I just tried it again and it fails like you described. I debugged
gdb some time ago and it's was a real nightmare. IMHO fixing gdb isn't
a short term task and I'm right now trying to plug all SCSI holes
(two bugs smashed, but still too much known bugs unfixed). And after
the SCSI stuff I'll port the RedHat Rawhide installer, so I'm not
available to fix gdb for some time.
For a short term solution edit arch/mips/mm/fault.c and look for the
second #if 0 (after the label bad_area) and change that to a #if 1.
This will give you a kernel message for every segfault, but it won't
help you for bus errors (but it's also possible to add printks there, too).

LG Electronics is now providing developers with a software development kit (SDK) and hardware development kit (HDK) to help them design and deploy apps for its G5 modular smartphone.
In addition, LG announced it will soon launch its Modular Friends online marketplace to help developers sell their compatible products and content directly to consumers.
So what does the news mean for developers? In the long run, it may not be as meaningful as it sounds, despite the fact that LG appears to setting the bar extremely high for G5 development.
Dr. Ramchan Woo, LG's vice president of smartphone product planning, said in a company statement about the releases that "The potential of the industry changing LG G5 and the concept of Friends are limitless. ... We believe that by giving developers the same tools that inspired us from LG G5's inception, we're going to see innovations ranging from toys to medical tools to things we haven't even thought of ourselves."
Clearly, LG has lofty expectations for the G5, but there are no guarantees that developers will be drawn to the device. To better understand why this may be the case, just consider how LG's Friends marketplace operates.
Friends requires developers to work with LG to create apps, according to LG. Plus, if developers submit an idea that ultimately results in a successful app, they are only entitled to what LG calls "a fair profit" as part of a signed agreement.
As Android Authority points out, "It's understandable why LG is doing this, but it's no way to start a modular ecosystem."
Let's not forget about the G5's modular design, either.
The modular design has been a source of controversy thus far, as it features a "magic slot" located in the bottom part of the device and doubles as an accessory port. But as The Verge notes, "LG won't tell us if the Friends that slot directly into the bottom of the G5 will be compatible with its future phones."
In addition, even though the G5's design is certainly innovative, there has been no indication thus far that consumers are jumping at the opportunity to purchase this device.
International Business Times reports LG could ship more than 10 million G5 units this year. Comparatively, Samsung shipped 82 million units in the first quarter of 2016. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), meanwhile, shipped 42 million iPhones during the quarter.
LG has a long way to go if it hopes to build trust among developers. And even though the company appears to be doubling down on its efforts to promote G5 development, it may be some time before developers start to embrace the G5 and its modular design. -- Dan

SUNRISE, FLA. (WSVN) - Dozens of cats, both alive and dead, were found in deplorable conditions inside a Sunrise apartment in a horrific case of animal hoarding, and some animal rescuers said they were shocked to find the felines had been left to starve and suffer.
Rescuers discovered the deplorable living conditions on Saturday after two groups became concerned with the behavior of a volunteer. Their concerns would lead them to her apartment at 3989 NW 94th Ave.
“You can open the door about this much, and all you saw were little paws just desperate,” Saving Sage Animal Rescue Foundation spokesperson Gina Vlasek said.
The cats were either found dead or struggling to survive after, officials said, they were abandoned for weeks and possibly months.
Sunrise Police responded to the apartment Saturday night. Soon after, officers labeled the apartment as abandoned and gave permission to Saving Sage Animal Rescue to rescue the felines.
“As we started to walk through the property, it was just the most horrific thing that you could ever imagine,” Vlasek said. “No food, there was urine in the water bowls and at least one of the cats died within the last 12 hours and was eaten halfway down. I still can’t process what I saw.”
An animal rescue group called Operation Paw stepped in on Tuesday to help transport the cats for treatment.
“It takes a group of people to step in and help,” Operation Paw spokesperson Tia Williams said. “I mean, this is– it’s an emergency situation.”
More cats were found on Tuesday hiding in the apartment’s walls and filth.
“We worked around the clock last night, still catching cats,” Vlasek said. “There’s still cats in the building. I’ve never done a hoarding case with somebody that I knew, and I’ve never seen animals in such desperation. What I saw, I will never recover from.”
As of Tuesday night, a total of 10 cats were found dead and 38 were rescued.
On Wednesday, three more felines were rescued from the apartment.
Police are investigating the case, and no arrests have been made so far.
7News reached out to the woman who owns the apartment for comment, but she has not responded to calls, emails or text messages.

Warning: This post contains spoilers for the Game of Thrones season 8 premiere.
Fans knew. Bran knew. Sam knew. Even Rhaegal the Dragon knew. And now, Jon Snow finally knows too: He is the son of Rheagar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark — which means he’s a trueborn Targaryen, and not a bastard.
Samwell Tarly revealed this information to the King of the North during the first episode of the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones. Bran and Sam had put together the clues last season: Sam and Gilly found documents at the Citadel that showed Rhaegar had annulled his marriage to Elia Martell and eloped with Lyanna Stark afterward. Bran used his greenseer abilities to travel through time and watch the secret marriage of the two lovers and Jon’s birth in the Tower of Joy.
This means that Jon is not the bastard son of Ned Stark, as everyone long believed. The fact that Rhaegar and Lyanna were legally married means that Jon is not a bastard, but rather the direct heir to the Iron Throne.
Jon and Daenerys might have even had an inkling of Jon’s true heritage too: Earlier in the episode, Jon rode Rhaegal, Daenerys’ dragon who is named for his own father Rheagar, despite the fact that only Targaryens have been able to ride dragons in the past.
“Your mother was Lyanna stark. And your father, your real father, was Rhaegar Targaryen. You’ve never been a bastard. You’re Aegon Targaryen, true heir to the Iron Throne,” Sam tells Jon in the crypts. “I’m sorry. I know it’s a lot to take in.”
Jon reacted to the revelation with indignation, upset that his father figure Ned Stark had lied to him for so long. “My father was the most honorable man I’ve ever met,” Jon retorts. “You’re saying he lied to me all my life?”
“Your father, well, Ned Stark. He promised your mother he’d always protect you. And he did. Robert would have murdered you if he knew. You’re the true king. Aegon Targaryen, Sixth of his Name, Protector of the Realm, all of it.”
The last time Ned and Jon spoke in season 1, Ned promised to tell Jon who is mother was when they met again. But Ned was killed on the orders of Joffrey Baratheon and never saw Jon again. Sam, the sensitive counterpoint to a very blunt Bran, explained to Jon that Lyanna swore Ned to secrecy. Had Robert Baratheon known the identity of Jon’s real father, he would have tried to kill him, just as he tried to kill Daenerys.
Which brings us to the elephant in the room: Jon and Dany consummated their budding romantic relationship in the season 7 finale. After Bran and Sam’s reveal, Jon finally knows that he and Daenerys are aunt and nephew. On a personal level, Jon will probably have hang-ups about what happened between them: After all, the Starks recently fought a war to dethrone a king made mad by generations of incest. Daenerys, who comes from a long line of Targaryens who married their siblings and cousins, might be more open to continuing their relationship and alliance.
Daenerys will probably be more concerned with Jon’s newfound claim to the Iron Throne. Historically, male heirs have been given preference over female ones in Westeros — though Queen Cersei does currently sit on the throne. What’s more, Jon is the son of the Mad King Aerys’ eldest child and thus, some would argue, a more direct heir than Dany.
Luckily for Daenerys, Jon Snow has never expressed a desire to rule anything or anybody. He’s only taken on leadership roles when they are foisted upon him, or help solve a larger problem. Right now, he’s more concerned with the upcoming war with the Night King and the White Walkers. So there’s a good chance he’ll offer to cede his power to her. It remains to be seen how the rest of Westeros might feel about that.

I am a huge, huge meat lover. Seriously, I can't get enough.
However, once a week - usually in synch with Meatless Monday - I try and eat a veggie or vegan dish to give my body a bit of a break.
On these days, I crave pasta and carbs like anything. I don't know what it is, but my body seems to be crying out for satisfying, more indulgent foods anytime I skip the meat.
One of my favourite and most recent discoveries is Rizopia brown rice pasta. Made for all those health-conscious carb lovers out there, Rizopia puts pasta back on the menu for anyone who's watching what they eat, training for a big event, or has an intolerance to gluten. Heck, since it's only made of brown rice and water, it's even suitable for vegans and those with a dairy allergy too!
Unlike many healthier pasta alternatives out there, Rizopia also holds its texture amazingly and tastes great. Actually, I think it tastes even better than ordinary pasta - yes, really. Since it's much lighter on the stomach, you don't get any of that bloated feeling from eating it, either. All in all, it's a win win!
Anyway, I've recently been whipping up a fast, healthy Sundried Tomato, Lentil & Quinoa Bolognese to serve alongside my Rizopia on those meat-free days. Protein-packed and utterly delicious, you won't miss meat at all with this recipe. Perfect for guilt-free, carb indulging!
SUNDRIED TOMATO, LENIL AND QUINOA BOLOGNESE
1 cup red lentils, cooked according to instructions
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 sticks celery, peeled and diced
1 onion, peeled and diced
1 red pepper, deseeded and chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely diced
2 tins chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp mixed herbs
1 - 1.5 tsp crushed red chilli flakes
Handful sundried tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup quinoa
3 tbsp almond milk
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp red wine
2 tbsp nutritional yeast, to serve (for non-vegan option, add cheese)
Handful basil leaves, to serve
Rizopia brown rice spaghetti or fettucine
1) Heat some oil in a saucepan, then gently sautee the carrots, celery, onion, pepper and garlic cloves. Stir often, and cook for around 3-4 minutes.
2) Tip in the chopped tomatoes, mixed herbs, chilli flakes and sun dried tomatoes, then give it a good stir to bring together (if you like your bolognese smooth and try to hide veggies - like my son! - quickly puree it now in a processor. If not, carry on) and bring gently to the boil.
3) Add in the cooked lentils, quinoa, balsamic vinegar and red wine, then bring to a simmer. Stir in the almond milk, then turn down the heat and cook gently for around 30minutes, or until the quinoa has softened.
4) Once your sauce is nearly ready, cook your pasta to packet instructions. Drain, then place in bowls and top with the Quinoa Bolognese, a scattering of basil leaves and a sprinkling of nutritional yeast or cheese!

- 16oz oysters in a container, undrained
- 1 stick plus 2tbsp butter, unsalted
- 2c diced white onion
- 1-3 cloves garlic, pressed
- 3/4c flour
- 4c half and half
- 2c whole milk
- 1lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp ground crushed red pepper
- 1tsp black pepper
- 3tsp dried parsley
- 1tsp salt plus more to taste
- ½-1lb scallops, cubed*
- ½ cup freshly shredded Italian cheese**
- Oyster crackers****
- Drain oysters, reserving oyster liqueur. Set both aside.
- In a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat, melt 2tbsp butter. Gently sauteé oysters until plump. Remove oysters, leaving liquid. Mince oysters and set aside.
- Melt stick of butter. Add onion and sauteé until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauteé until fragrant.
- Sprinkle in flour ½ palmful at a time until liquid is about 2/3 absorbed. Let cook for 2-3 minutes, constantly stirring until color slightly darkens.
- Add half and half and milk. Stir paprika, red pepper, black pepper, parsley, 1tsp salt, and cheese** until combined.
- Stir in shrimp. Just when shrimp begins to turn pink, turn heat to medium-low. Stir in oysters and scallops and cooked until warmed through and shrimp are done. Add oyster liqueur to taste.***
*Scallops are mostly for texture and to add more chunky to your soup. If you like less chunky soup, add less or omit completely.
**Any Italian cheese (percorino romano, asiago, parmigiano reggiano, grana padano, etc.) will do. Just pay attention to the salt content of whatever cheese you use as it will affect the salt you may need to add later on.
*** Adding more oyster liqueur will affect the consistency of your soup. There are ways to thicken the soup once the liqueur is added, but it will also affect the final flavor.
****Another texture/flavor component. Crush or serve whole over soup.

No, these aren’t pictures from the set of the Legally Blonde prequel starring Jennifer Lawrence as a young version of Jennifer Coolidge’s character. These are pictures of Jennifer Lawrence on the set of that David O. Russell movie about the Abscam operation in Boston. Jennifer plays Christian Bale’s wife, so she’s the lucky young bitch who gets to lick his stick-on beard.
Didn’t Jennifer Lawrence wear this same hairstyle at the end of Silver Linings Playbook too? Well, we already know that David O. Russell has a serious Jennifer Lawrence fetish and now we know that he also has a serious fetish for 70s updos that are held together with at least 3 cans of Miss Breck hairspray.
And Jennifer Lawrence should always wear her hair like this, because the Ellen Barkin in Drop Dead Gorgeous look IS the look.

“Spider-Man: No Way Home,” the grand finale in Marvel’s web-slinging trilogy, has crossed another major box office milestone, surpassing $800 million globally.
After 10 days on the big screen, the latest Spidey adventure has become the highest-grossing Hollywood movie of the year with $813.9 million worldwide. It passed MGM’s James Bond sequel “No Time to Die,” which grossed $774 million globally. Only two local Chinese movies — “The Battle at Lake Changjin” ($902 million) and “Hi, Mom” ($882 million) — have generated more than “No Way Home,” but the superhero epic looks to dethrone those titles in the coming week. At this pace, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” will be the first pandemic-era movie to crush the $1 billion mark, an especially impressive feat considering the film isn’t playing in China.
At the domestic box office, the newest “Spider-Man” tale collected $27 million on Wednesday from 4,336 theaters, kicking off a busy holiday season with a bang. It brings the film’s six-day tally to $356.5 million, a massive result. Between Wednesday and Sunday, “No Way Home” could add as much as $160 million, which would push its North American haul past $450 million.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” is steamrolling the box office at a time when several new movies are opening nationwide. After “No Way Home,” the battle for second place will come down to Universal’s animated musical comedy “Sing 2” and the Warner Bros. sci-fi sequel “Matrix Resurrections,” both of which opened on Wednesday.
“The Matrix” earned $6.4 million on Wednesday from 3,552 venues in North America, putting the film on pace to finish the weekend with $40 million to $50 million. At the higher end of that range, “Resurrections” would beat “Dune” ($41 million) to land the biggest debut for a Warner Bros. movie this year. Like the studio’s entire 2021 slate, the fourth “Matrix” installment is playing simultaneously on HBO Max.

[Objective] This paper reviews the technical solutions for detecting online extremism and radicalization. [Methods] First, we retrieved the needed literature by conducting keyword search with several popular academic databases. Then, we reviewed these papers and summarized their theoretical frameworks, data sources, labelling method, and algorithms. [Results] Researchers have obtained insights from the latest psychology and sociology studies, which helped them refine the detection indicators and methods. The two popular techniques used in this field were based on lexicon method and machine learning algorithm. Although machine-learning methods had the advantages of better accuracy and faster speed, it is very hard for us to construct the training data sets. [Limitations] We did not compare the effectiveness of different solutions. [Conclusions] The reviewed techniques are still developing and more quantitative research is required to analyze the radicalization process. We need to co-operate with sociology and psychology researchers to develop new models and better training data sets.
[Objective] This study modifies Naive Bayes Classifier according to the features of counterterrorism intelligence, aiming to provide a simple and practical way to categorize these data. [Methods] Firstly, we deleted the outliers of terrorism related data, discretized continuous attributes, as well as finished reduction of data with high level correlation. Secondly, we computed conditional probabilities of different attributes. Lastly, we classified new sample dataset based on maximum posteriori hypothesis. [Results] After categorizing the data, we raised probability threshold to partially offset the influence of the data dependence. Only some data of high-level sensitivity needs to be process manually. [Limitations] This method has some restrictions on data independence. In practice, it must be combined with other classification method such as decision tree to cover more intelligence data, and provide information for early warning. [Conclusions] The proposed method, which increases the efficiency of intelligence analysis, is ease of use and has fewer restrictions on the intelligence analysts.
[Objective] This paper tries to predict the locations of suspects based on historical activity trajectory data, aiming to locate, track, monitor or arrest the suspects. [Methods] First, we proposed long short term memory (LSTM) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) models to predict crime locations. Then, we used the CNN model to extrct location features of key suspects and analyze their spatial correlations. Finally, we utlized the LSTM model to maintain the temporal continuity and obtain the future locations. [Results] Compared with previous models, the proposed method increased the prediction accuracy from 0.71 to 0.79 with the trajectory GeoLife dataset. [Limitations] The model was only examined with the Geolife dataset. [Conclusions] The proposed method fully exploits the spatial correlation and temporal continuity of data, which improves the effectiveness of public security intelligence analysis.
[Objective]This paper tries to assess the terrorism risks facing civil aviation industry quantitatively and objectively. [Methods] We proposed a risk assessment model based on K-means clustering, and then examined it with the data of terrorist attacks from 1992 to 2015. We calculated the risk of different types of attacks and their targets objectively. [Results] The risk of aircraft bombing, armed assault against the airport and airline staff were the highest, the risk of hijacking, bombing/explosion aginst the airport or airline staff were at medium level, and the risk of other attacks were relatively low. We used this method to predict the risk of terrorist attacks against the civil aviation in 2016, and the prediction accuracy was up to 92.3%. [Limitations] The proposed method for risk assessment is only suitable for processing numerical data. [Conclusions] The K-means clustering method can assess risk based on statistical data without human intervention, which could be applied to similar studies.
[Objective] This paper conducts risk assessment and decision-making analysis of civil aviation, aiming to address the security challenges facing this industry. [Methods] Based on the risk assessment results of civil aviation, we built the decision tree for civil aviation counter-terrorism, which examined the probabilities, deterrence effect, substitution effect, effectiveness of countermeasures and consequences of the potential civil aviation terrotist attacks. [Results] We evaluated the effects of various countermeasures based on the analysis of the potential terrorist attack threats. [Limitations] Only examined the proposed model with terrorist incidents happened in the past, which is difficult to measure future events. [Conclusions] This paper studies the attributes of possible terrorist attacks against the civil aviation system, including their probabilities, countermeasures, and the consequences.
[Objective] This paper optimizes the deployment of anti-terrorist police resources based on the queueing theory, aiming to improve the effectiveness of counterterrorism actions. [Methods] First, we proposed two optimal anti-terrorist policing strategies based on the M/M/1/∞ and M/M/N/∞ queueing models. Then, we compared the performance of the two models with simulation cases on four factors. [Results] We found that the M/M/N/∞ model had better performance. [Limitations] We did not examine the proposed model with real world anti-terrorism and policing data. [Conclusions] The M/M/N/∞ queueing model could help us create better anti-terrorist policing strategies.
[Objective]This paper proposes a hierarcical classification screening method, aiming to improve the airport security system and passenger experience. [Methods] We proposed a feature deep learning method based on the civil aviation and public security databases. Then, we trained the deep neural network of three layers: time seriers, space seriers, and environmental features to obtain the joint representing feature of passenger risk factors. Finally, we generated the early warning models for passenger security check. [Results] The proposed early warning models could relieve the pressure of civil aviation security check. [Limitaions] More research is needed to examine the proposed model with data from small airports. [Conclusions] The early-warning model based on deep learning could effectively improve work efficiency of airport security checks and passanger experience.
[Objective] This paper proposes a Document Influence Model (DIM) based on Dynamic Automatic Time, aiming to solve the time window dividing issue of dynamic topic model. [Methods] Firstly, we processed the text corpora with the traditional LDA model and word vector model. Secondly, we constructed a comprehensive index reflecting the differences between time windows and similarity within the time windows. Finally, we built a new model based on this index and conducted an empirical study with news corpus of the “Belt and Road” International Cooperation Summit Forum. [Results] The proposed model could quickly and effectively divide the time windows, which not only ensured the comparability of the topics under different windows, but also evaluated the influence factors of the document. [Limitations] We built the similarity index of time windows based on the traditional LDA model, which could be improved by the latest LDA models. [Conclusions] The new model is able to divide the time series text effectively, which improves the performance of traditional dynamic topic model.
[Objective] This paper examines several popular ensemble-learning methods with real-world data, aiming to find the most suitable way to monitor the P2P credit risks facing China. [Methods] We extracted the borrower’s features from five aspects, and identified the most remarkable ones with Random Forest method. Then, we compared the prediction models based on four ensemble-learning methods and five base classifiers. [Results] We found that the Rotation Forest method had the highest accuracy rate of 99.32% and the lowest error rate of 1.71% . Feature selection processing based on Random Forest could improve the performance of all related models significantly. [Limitations] The sample dataset needs to be expanded. [Conclusions] The proposed method could identify credit risks more effectively.
[Objective] This paper presents a new method to recognize metaphor, from the Chinese and English datasets. [Methods] First, we mapped the experimental dataset to vector space, which was also input to a convolutional neural network along with the property and keyword features. Then, we extracted the needed features with the help of convolutional and pooled layers, as well as classified them using SVM. Finally, we combined the Max-Pooling and Mean-Pooling to improve the extracted features’ accuracy. [Results] Compared with the traditional models, our method increased the accuracy of extracted features from the corpus of English verb-object, English adjective-noun and Chinese metaphor by 4.12%, 0.84% and 4.50% respectively. [Limitations] The Chinese word segmentation affects the training of word vector model. We need to add more layers to the convolutional neural networks. [Conclusions] The proposed method could effectively identify metaphor from Chinese and English corpus.
[Objective] This paper compares community detection algorithms in the field of complex network analysis, aiming to support related information science studies. [Methods] First, we identified the similarities and differences of several community detection algorithms (i.e. theoretical frameworks and calculation methods). Then, we examined these algorithms with small data sets. Third, we expanded the sample size, and evaluated the performance of Louvain algorithm, Louvain algorithm with multilevel refinement, and the SLM algorithm with the collaboration and citation networks. [Results] On small dataset, the detection results of GN and FN algorithms were similar, and the results of SLM algorithm were better than those of the Louvain algorithm and Louvain algorithm with multilevel refinement. In the field of library and information science, setting the resolution at 0.5 could help us analyze the detection results. The results of SLM algorithm were different to those of the Louvain algorithm or Louvain algorithm with multilevel refinement. Results of the latter two were almost the same, which were different with the resolution of 1.0. [Limitations] The dataset needs to be expanded. [Conclusions] The Louvain algorithm, Louvain algorithm with multilevel refinement and SLM algorithm are better than traditional algorithms. Among them, the SLM algorithm is the best option for us to analyze the community of citation network.
[Objective] This paper proposes a new method to construct a working sentiment dictionary for sentiment analysis in the field of finance. [Methods] Our method built a sentiment dictionary based on the characteristics of corpus and knowledge base. It also mapped the textual information into vector space using word vector method. With the help of existing general sentiment dictionary, we automatically indexed the training corpus, and created training and forecasting sets with a ratio of 9: 1. Finally, we used Python to establish the neural network classifier of deep learning, and evaluated the emotional polarity of the candidate words in the new dictionary. [Results] The accuracy of the proposed neural network classifier with the training set was 95.02%, while the accuracy with the forecasting set was 95.00%. Our results are better than the existing models. [Limitations] The method of extracting seed words could be further optimized. [Conclusions] The proposed method increases the size of corpus to train the neural network classifiers more effectively. It also extracts the emotion information from the semantic relevance of word vectors. The new sentiment dictionary provides possible directions for future research.
[Objective] This paper proposes a new method to calculate the similarity of science and technology documents combining the information of texts and formulas, aiming to improve the performance of traditional methods. [Methods] Firstly, we mapped feature elements of single formula into position vector, which helped us calculate the similarity of single formula. Secondly, we computed the coverage and similarity of formula between documents. Finally, the similarity of science and technology documents were calculated by combining information of texts and formulas. [Results] We compared the classification results of the new method and the traditional ones. We found that the macro average F-score of the new method was increased by 6.7%. [Limitations] The test sets do not collect formula information of documents, which need to be expanded. [Conclusions] The new method could calculate document similarity more accurately.

Working as part of the NHS Glasgow City Youth Health Service, includem has helped divert 71% of their client group away from engaging in anti-social behaviours or involvement with alcohol and drugs.
Through the Glasgow City Youth Health Service, includem’s delivery of the Multiple Risk programme works in partnership with nurses, doctors and counsellors to help support young people achieve positive outcomes in their lives.
Over the last nine months 166 young people have been supported by the programme with the vast majority achieving positive results.
The programme is delivered in nine venue locations across Glasgow; with includem offering outreach support to help young people attend.
In these venues young people aged 12-19 are helped to identify issues and underlying causes that are contributing to their risky and often unsafe behaviours.
The most common reasons for referral include alcohol and drug misuse, vaping, risk of offending and non-engagement in education or employment.
These behaviours are addressed in a focused manner by using includem’s ‘A Better Life’ toolkit which tailors support for individuals to support sustainable long-term change. Includem staff engage and support each young person one-to-one on a weekly basis for up to 12 weeks.
The team also works with parents/carers to ensure continued support is offered at home.
Sam* (14) was referred to the programme due to their non-engagement at school.
“Believe in yourself and your family has your back because you can change. The support I got from includem and the NHS Youth Health Service has helped my family big time and helped me massively. I’ve learned I can be a nice person and I have a future. I didn’t go to school, and I go now and I’ve been scouted for a football team,’ they said.
After attending the Multiple Risk programme Sam’s regular school attendance increased by more than 100% from around 1.5 days a week to almost four days a week.
‘Sometimes it can be something as simple as providing funding for a dining table to enable the family to eat together, such a small step can improve communications within the family resulting in less conflict and better outcomes for all,’ said includem’s Team Manager, Nicola Galloway.
‘But without engaging intensively you can’t get to the root of what the issues are.’
