Good news for farmers
The use of BBF can reduce resource mining, pollution and greenhouse gas emission when they replace mineral fertilisers. Moreover, they can be produced from the recovery of nutrients from fish processing and aquaculture by-products. Based on the circular economy model, the EU-funded SEA2LAND project will promote the production of large-scale fertilisers in the EU from own raw materials. This solution is expected to reduce the soil nutrient imbalance in Europe. To test the solution, the project will produce several BBFs for local crops and conditions as well as others for exporting (with high value and effectiveness to ensure a low environmental impact). Eventually, the BBFs will partially replace imported nutrients for agriculture in Europe.

Design Is My Livelihood
When I was a kid my parents always said, “If you love what you do for a living
you’ll never work a day in your life.”
To me, a child only concerned with Spider-Man, G.I. Joe and who would win if
they ever had to battle, that sounded wonderful. I was 12 when I had it all figured
out: I would leave the nest at 18, move to New York and take over the reigns of
As history proves, this did not happen.
Instead I went to high school, graduated, tried college a few times, watched a lot
of MTV and decided that I needed to be a musician. However, the one thing they
never tell you on Behind the Music is that the key to becoming a professional
musician is knowing how to play music. Alas, this knowledge did little to deter me
from packing up my car one January morning and making the 22-hour journey
from Clayton, North Carolina to Omaha…to be a rock god
I thought I had “made it,” but the reality of the situation was that I was poor, going nowhere, and my music was pretty bad. Luckily, when you’re in a band there are two things that are readily available: people to inflate your ego and design work that needs to be done. Having taken one full semester of college studying graphic design, this worked to my advantage. I made posters, t-shirts, and stickers and got my first real idea of what design could be for me. I was hooked.
At 23 I decided to go back to school. This time I actually put forth effort. I worked to become a decent designer. Slowly over time, music became the hobby and design became the life.
Seven years, three agencies, four bands and a bajillion ideas later, and I feel like I have finally figured out who I am and where I fit in “the scene.” I am a small business owner, I am a teacher and I am a family man. I have no intention of ever winning an award for my work, or becoming some influential designer that changes people’s lives. I just want to continue being who I am, designing thought-out, creative ideas for my clients and never working a day in my life.

Building customer loyalty at any business is challenging. Keeping customers returning to an automotive repair shop is the most daunting task for owners. If a shop can crack this code, they will capture current and future repair and maintenance opportunities. The only built-in opportunity for every vehicle to increase customer loyalty is engine oil and functional fluid services.
In this hour-long webinar, our experts will discuss how they’ve built an oil change and vehicle maintenance program that keeps customers coming back and helps maintain healthy profit margins.
Have you ever noticed many European cars and SUVs no longer have coolant replacement intervals listed in the service information? This could be due to cooling systems requiring service or component replacement prior to that interval. It could be hoses, plastic couplings or water pumps. Your shop has options. Some replacement parts can be better than the original parts. These parts can create a win/win situation for your shop and customers when dealing with today’s vehicle’s complexity and longevity.
These solutions can simplify a repair and protect against future failures. In a 45-minute webinar sponsored by CRP Automotive, the company that brings you Rein Automotive, we will cover six common cooling system repairs on BMW, Audi and VW vehicles. These repair solutions will cover more than six-million vehicles on the road today.
There is a large population of vehicles entering the sweet spot for TPMS sensor replacement. This free 30-minute webinar will look at how to diagnose dying sensors, answer the questions about when to replace sensors, and show you how to package multiple sensors. Brake & Front End editor Andrew Markel, an ASE-certified technician, will show you how to perform advanced TPMS diagnostics.

… and I’m still very busy. I have quite a few things yet to tat before the big day arrives. I did take a little time out from all that to make this bookmark for The Tatting Forums’ bookmark-a-month challenge, just for fun: ) It’s made in Lizbeth color 625 size 20.
I was thinking how busy I’ve kept myself the last several weeks, and though it’s been fun it’s also getting to be a bit stressful as the day gets closer and I don’t have everything done. So I took a little time out for a different kind of fun. With a nod to Isdihara of Ambitatterous, famous for her twisted lyrics, and an apology to Clement Clarke Moore, sit back and enjoy a cup of tea this Tatting Tea Tuesday while I leave you with a poem that I – hmm, adapted – from Mr. Moore.
‘Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the house
I was still stirring, and I think so was a mouse.
The stockings weren’t hung, the mantle was bare,
I sure wasn’t ready for Christmas to be here!
Patterns of lace were strewn all over the bed,
While visions of things undone danced in my head.
With thread on the table and a cat on my lap
I couldn’t settle my brain on one thing to tat.
When out in the hall there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my chair to see what was the matter.
Hanging down from the table a part of my stash
Caught me off guard, I went down with a crash!
The glitter that fell from the table like snow
Gave quite a shine to my head down below.
When, what to my watering eyes should appear,
But a miniature person in fancy foot gear.
She was dressed all in lace, from her head to her toes,
And her clothes were all covered with lots of picots.
An array of bright thread she had clutched in her hand,
And she looked very lovely, in fact very grand.
Her eyes – how they twinkled! Her tresses, how lovely!
Her cheeks were like roses, her stance very queenly!
Her red little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
The dress she was wearing was as white as the snow.
She spoke not a word, but went straight to her task,
What she was doing I had no thought to ask.
And plying the thread, not seeming to bustle,
She made gorgeous lace with a bright silver shuttle!
Her hands flew through the thread, this lovely small elf,
And I laughed as I watched her, in spite of myself!
Each piece as she finished she laid on the table,
Fine tatting she made, her face very tranquil.
When her tatting was done, when finally she finished,
Then as quick as she’d come she suddenly vanished.
But I heard her exclaim, ‘ere she faded from sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good knot!”
Based on “Twas the Night Before Christmas” by Clement Clarke Moore
PS Real quick – did you see the lunar eclipse last night? Pretty cool, wasn’t it?

Like any normal person as soon as I decided to cleanse I craved pasta. I haven’t craved pasta in years. I always take a craving as an opportunity to create a nutritional masterpiece. In comes my spaghetti squash with roasted red pepper cream sauce!
Of course, I want to stick to my vegan cleanse challenge so I used coconut cream to give this recipe that creamy flavor. The roasted red pepper sauce I created using whole, natural ingredients that taste amazing.
I find spaghetti squash better than regular pasta.
It is sweet, filling and easy to digest. One awesome tip I discovered about cooking spaghetti squash is placing the whole squash in the oven for 10 minutes before cutting it in half. This softens the squash and makes it super easy to cut. I will do this every time now. The instructions are below in the recipe.
If you are having a craving for pasta or are looking for a delicious supper recipe this week I highly recommend this recipe!

Two Performers (laptops/keyboards, amplification, and projection)
Created for the Parkinson/Saunders Duo
Transcribing is a piece for two typists. During the performance, both typists transcribe (audio → text) the same archival audio material. Though they each only listen to their own audio track, the audience hears both layered on top of each other. Because the act of transcription involves pausing and rewinding the material to accurately type it, the audience hears a stratified, looped, fragmented, and stretched version of the original audio recording that gradually reveals the source material.
This piece was originally developed for the Parkinson Saunders duo for BBC’s ‘Hear and Now’, and has been recorded in three different versions using different source materials. The video on this page features Alex Mah and James Saunders, and was recorded at the Bath Spa University TV Studio as a part of Open Scores Lab. The video was cut together by myself, and features archival material from www.archive.org and a found cassette from Sweet Thunder.

New England Patriots linebacker Harvey Langi was involved in a serious car accident on Friday night and the Foxborough Fire Department published photos of the horrifying scene to their Facebook page on Saturday afternoon.
Langi and his wife were driving on Fisher St. in Foxborough when they were involved in a three-car rear-end collision. The jaws of life had to be used on one vehicle, though it’s unclear yet whether they were used on Langi’s car.
At the moment, Langi and his wife are believed to have suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries. The New England Patriots released a statement on the accident on Saturday afternoon.
“We are aware of the traffic accident involving Harvey Langi and a passenger last night in Foxborough. The two were stopped at a traffic light when they were rear-ended by another vehicle,” the Patriots statement reads. “They were both transported to a local hospital with injuries and are receiving medical attention. Our thought are with Harvey, the Langi family and those who sustained injuries in last night’s accident.”
According to the Foxborough Fire Department, five total patients were transported to area hospitals as a result of last night’s accident. The Mansfield, Walpole and Plainville Fire Departments all assisted on the call.
The post Patriots LB Harvey Langi’s horrifying car accident photos posted by Foxborough Fire appeared first on All 22.

Spaghetti Warehouse antiques up for auction
If you have fond memories of the old Spaghetti Warehouse in Franklinton, you have a chance to bring some of its decorations home.
Catch up quick: The Broad Street restaurant operated for decades inside a former brick ice house until a roof collapse forced its closure last year.
- Spaghetti Warehouse is reopening at a new downtown location at 150 S. High St. on Nov. 30.
Driving the news: The "eclectic assortment of original artifacts" that once graced the massive warehouse is up for auction through Nov. 17.
The intrigue: "Eclectic" is an understatement. The auction includes a 19th-century cotton gin, a gramophone record player, a pair of European church pews and enough old signs to fill an episode of "American Pickers."

On November 8th, 2011, two missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver in Donna, Texas. A third missionary was reported to have been critically injured and was hospitalized, but has now been released.
Elders Trevor Reinhold Strong, 21, of Taylorsville, Utah, Derek Jason Walker, 20, of Fairfield, Idaho, and Zachary Todd Harris, 19, of Huntsville, Alabama, all serving in the Texas McAllen Mission, were riding their bicycles northbound on Midway South St. near Vaughn Road, just south of Business Route 83 around 7:30 P.M. when a vehicle driven by Jose Luis Garza traveling southbound crossed the center line to attempt to pass another vehicle and hit all three missionaries head-on. Garza and his two passengers fled the scene on foot. Elders Strong and Walker were pronounced dead, while Elder Harris was taken to a hospital injured, and has since been released. Police used helicopters in an attempt to track down the vehicle's occupants. Old news video from KRGV Channel 5 still available; updated news video from KSL Channel 5 embedded below (after the jump):
Here's raw video of the accident scene provided by KGBT Channel 4 (a number of people are expressing objection to the video in the comments section of the website, but taking the video down would not resurrect the missionaries):
Update: The driver involved, now identified as Jose Luis Garza, surrendered to authorities at the Progreso International Bridge overnight. Garza claims he didn't see the missionaries because his headlights were malfunctioning, although the missionaries had lights on their bicycles. He's now been charged with two felony counts of failure to stop and render aid, and is being held on $100,000 bond. Police also confirm that the suspect is a Mexican national, but have not disclosed his residency status. Two more suspects remain on the run.
A comment posted on KSL by someone who lives in Donna, TX provides some insight on the road and traffic conditions:
Taekwondo_dude November 9th 8:30 A.M:
First of all, my heart goes out to the families of these missionaries. I am still in shock. I live half of mile from where the incident occurred. I met Elders Strong and Walker about 3 weeks ago, when they had dinner in my home. Elder Strong told me he was going home soon. I know that people are angry and some suggest it might have been intentional. In no way am I defending the cowards who took the lives of these missionaries, but I just want to shed a little insight about the area, and what witnesses saw. Midway Road splits the two towns of Weslaco and Donna. It is a paved, narrow, country road, with barely enough room for 2 cars side by side. It is also pitch black at night in some parts. According to witnesses, the culprits in the black car decided to pass the car in front of them, and as they did, they ran into the 3 missionaries, head on, at a very high rate of speed. It was around 7:30 pm, and with the new time change, it was already dark. I cringe whenever I see missionaries on their bikes at night, in these areas.
Based upon his blog, Elder Strong first entered the Provo Missionary Training Center on October 28th, 2009. This means his mission was about to come to a close when this accident happened. What a tragedy! A person named Yeffy posted a comment to the KSL story confirming that Elder Strong was due to come home in a month and has a twin brother, Scott, serving in the Tucson mission. In fact, Trevor Strong was already supposed to be home -- except he volunteered to extend his mission by three weeks so he could help with the training of a couple of missionaries as well as complete work with a couple of families.
As for Derek Jason Walker, he still had a year to go on his mission. According to President Michael Owsley of the Wendell Idaho Stake (his home stake), Elder Walker had just been made senior companion, and he volunteered to make a presentation during the training, and did a great job with his presentation. Elder Walker left this world doing the two things he loved most: riding his bike and serving the Lord.
According to Mission President Stephen Trayner, Elder Zachary Harris, who's only been in Texas for five months, will not be returning home to Alabama; he says he still has work to do in South Texas for the remaining 19 months of his mission. While Elder Harris was also hit by the errant motorist, his injuries proved not to be serious, and he was released from the hospital earlier. Elder Harris is walking with a noticeable limp, and he has some bruising and swelling and some lacerations.
President Trayner paid further tribute to the missionaries, saying "This is not the normal course of events. They were outstanding young men, and I would have been very proud to have them for my sons. But we believe that when someone has been faithful and true to the gospel of Jesus Christ that your work will continue beyond death. And we firmly believe we will be together in another life and have the chance to be with loved ones forever in the presence of God." There are 176 missionaries assigned to south Texas, and approximately one-half of them travel by bicycle.
I have added the names of Elders Strong and Walker to my partial list of LDS missionaries who died while serving in the field. I would bet the driver and his passengers most likely fall into one of three categories:
(1). Illegal aliens or other foreign nationals who don't want to get caught. Donna, Texas is only about five miles from the border. The surrender of the driver greatly increases this possibility.
(2). The driver was drunk and was afraid he would be charged with DUI if he stuck around. This possibility cannot be excluded, since the time interval between the accident and Garza's surrender would allow alcohol to clear his system.

Some investors use exchange-traded funds to achieve easy portfolio diversification. Others are attracted to their relatively low fees.
But what they're not doing is using ETFs to bet on share declines. At least not lately.
Short interest currently sits at 6.1% of total ETF assets, the lowest level since the financial crisis, according to data compiled by JPMorgan. That comes amid a roughly 30% drop in total short interest for US-listed funds over the past seven months.
The measure now sits at $135 billion, down from a postcrisis high of $194 billion reached in September 2015, the data shows.
Still, this doesn't necessarily mean investors are giving up on stock-market shorts altogether — they just prefer making wagers on individual names. Single-stock short interest, measured across all S&P 1500 constituents, is in the middle of its range since the start of the eight-year bull market.
"It does not appear as though shorts have departed from the market," the quantitative and derivatives strategy team at JPMorgan wrote in a note to clients. Investors' preferences have shifted away from ETFs and toward single stocks, they said.
One possible explanation for the move away from ETF shorting is that active-management firms are making a conscious effort to separate themselves from the indexes normally tracked by such funds, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch. This might be because of mounting pressure from consultants to shift away from benchmarks, a development that has pushed single-stock exposure to a record high, the firm said.
The dynamic of stocks trading on independent fundamentals, rather than having performance dictated by their presence in ETFs, can also be seen in a measure known as implied correlation.
The CBOE S&P 500 Implied Correlation Index, a gauge of lockstep moves in the S&P 500, is fresh off its lows for the year, according to data from Bloomberg. The index has dropped 13% so far in 2017 as investors have studied first-quarter earnings reports and delineated between the winners and losers of President Donald Trump's proposed policies.
Regardless, ETFs aren't going anywhere. As of February, passive investments like ETFs and index funds accounted for 28.5% of assets under management in the US. That share could rise to more than 50% by 2024, according to a Moody's forecast.

Salisbury FC’s preparations for the new season continue with more friendlies and another new signing.
Salisbury ran out 8-0 winners away at Shaftesbury at the weekend, striker Devon Arnold was busy proving his worth by bagging half of that total.
Yesterday, Salisbury also announced the signing of an experienced defender, Sido Jombati. Able to play as both centre-back and right-back, the Portuguese 35-year-old has extensive experience in the football league for Wycombe Wanderers and Cheltenham Town.
He is a well-known player to manager Brian Dutton as they were previously teammates in the early parts of their careers.
Dutton said of the signing, “I’m absolutely delighted to get Sido over the line. He’s a real marquee signing and a real show of intent from the Chairman on how much he’s wanting all the fans to have an exciting season this year.
“Sido was a former teammate of mine when we were both in our early 20s, and I’m not surprised to see him have the career he’s had, churning out many games in the Football League.
“He has lots of ability, but his mindset and mentality is his strongest asset, and I’m hoping he can impart lots of his qualities on our younger players in the group to help them try and create a similar path as Sido has.”
Salisbury then played their latest friendly yesterday (4th July) evening away at Oxford City, who have been promoted to the National League this season.
The two sides played out an entertaining 0-0 draw providing a good workout for both sides.
After the game, Brian Dutton said, “It was a fixture that got thrown at us recently, and it’s probably a bit early for our group. But credit to our lads, they acquitted themselves really well and competed and managed a 0-0 draw.
“It wasn’t a case of clinging on and competing really well. They had their chances, and we had our chances.
“I want the lads to get the ball down and play but without being a soft touch. It’s not about a short or long pass; it’s about the right pass.”
Salisbury’s next pre-season game is away at Cirencester Town on Saturday (8th July) of this week; kick-off is at 3 pm.


Huawei Mate 20 Pro released back in October and sent seismic waves through the smartphone industry
Huawei Mate 20 Pro released back in October and sent seismic waves through the smartphone industry thanks to a wealth of innovative features.
Mate 20 Pro's headline act is by far its triple-camera system that is comprised of a standard, wide-angle and telephoto sensor.
The 20-megapixel wide lens allows the Mate 20 Pro to fit more subjects into a single frame.
In fact, the wide-angle system was one of the reasons Express.co.uk awarded the Mate 20 Pro five out of five stars in our review.
But the Mate 20 Pro is certainly not a one-trick pony thanks to its gorgeous screen, huge battery and fast processor.
The Chinese flagship comes with 6.39-inch AMOLED display that offers a resolution of 1440p.
Moreover, the Mate 20 Pro also comes with a 4,200mAh battery that offers the best battery we experienced on a smartphone last year at Express.co.uk.
The Mate 20 Pro breezes through a day of heavy usage with plenty of juice to spare.
Powering the Mate 20 Pro is Huawei's own Kirin 980 processor that is accompanied by 6GB of RAM and a Mali-G76 MP10 GPU.
The handset also comes with the latest and greatest Google software, Android 9 Pie, pre-installed and runs the Chinese tech giant's EMUI skin on top of it.
When it comes to unlocking the device, Huawei offers a number of options thanks to some handy technology housed inside the Mate 20 Pro.
The hardware comes with a facial recognition system that is placed inside its notch at the top of the display.
However, the Mate 20 Pro also positions its fingerprint sensor underneath its display, allowing for a futuristic method of accessibility.
Both of these features have just been improved thanks to a new update from Huawei.
In a software upgrade that is available right now for all Mate 20 Pro owners, the Chinese tech giant has issues changes it claims "optimises" both facial and fingerprint unlocking.
Huawei claimed the in-screen reader should now deliver 'faster' unlock speeds
The Huawei update stated facial recognition should now work better 'in certain scenarios'
In a list of notes discussing the update, Huawei claimed the in-screen reader should now deliver "faster" unlock speeds.
It added facial recognition would now work better "in certain scenarios".
A number of other new changes detailed include: "Navigation - optimises navigation performance, improving positioning in Google Maps.
"Display - Fixes an issue where the notification badge for Google Messages would not be displayed when a message is received."
The new update from Huawei also brings security additions, too.
Overall the upgrade does not radically transform the device, but it appears Huawei is intent on refining the Mate 20 Pro's already robust formula.


India has unmatched and large variety of flora and fauna across the whole country, from the wet grasslands to freeze Iceland and from deep water ocean to hot sand ocean. Thar, the great Indian desert also called as the ocean of sand is home of many species of birds, reptiles and wild animals. The various desert animals and plants are adapted to survive in adverse climatic conditions.The animals of the great thar desert include numerous species of reptile, desert scorpions, mongoose, red fox, chinkara and falcons. Indian Bustard, Blackbuck and wild cat are few species which are fast vanishing in other parts of India but can be spotted here. The ship of desert, Camels is the first animal come to mind while talking about wildlife safari in desert. There are eleven national parks in the Thar desert area of India, the largest of which are the Nara desert wildlife sanctuary and the Rann of Kutch. The Rann of Kutch is the only protect area for the Indian Wild Ass, one of the most endangered species of India.
A small lizard known as Indian spiny tailed lizard can be found crouching in the sand of Thar desert. The Spiny-tailed lizard is a vulnerable species which exists only in Thar desert in India. There are about 23 species of lizard found in great desert of India few of them are scaber,Gecko and the Monitor Lizard. The monitor lizard is one of biggest lizard found in desert area of Rajasthan.
There are 25 species of snakes that can be found in the Thar desert of Rajasthan. Among the snakes the saw scaled viper, the large rat snake,black cobra and sand boa are the most famous and dangerous snakes of the Thar desert. The desert snakes are hide very easily in sand to protect by hunt and to hunt the lizards and insects.
The Indian desert eagles is one of the biggest flying predator and endangered species found in Thar desert area of Rajasthan. These harrier’s are the one of the major attraction of Thar desert National Park of Rajasthan. The desert eagles is a dark and majestic birds with long wings,prey species of birds include partridges,doves,Spurfowl and some time snakes as well. The other types of wild harrier’s are Indian vultures,falcons and buzzard.
The great Indian bustard is the among the heaviest of the flying birds found in India.There are four members of the bustard family are found in India, which are falls under the protected species. The large numbers of giant Indian bustard are found only in ocean of sands, Thar desert. The region is a haven for other 141 species of migratory and resident birds,which includes Indian Eagles, spurfowl and peacock “The National bird of India”.
The black buck is a species of antelope found mainly in India, and one of the most common antelope of Thar region. Another desert antelopes includes The Indian gazelle, also known as chinkara. Like most wild animals, the Black buck is also protected by wildlife of India.
The desert cat or the caracal is found all across the desert of Rajasthan. The caracal is small in size compare to other wild felines. The Thar desert “The ocean of sands” provides habitat for Indian wild cats, they predator to rodents, rabbits and lizards.
The desert fox is a small fox covered with red, so also called as red fox. The Bengal Fox or Indian fox is most common animal found in Thar desert. The wolf can also spotted in Thar while hunting Birds such as the sand grouse, partridges and shrike.
Chinkara or Indian gazelle live in arid plains and desert land of India. Thar Desert has the largest population of Indian chinkara estimated at 100,000 with 80,000.
Indian Desert Jird found mainly in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan and Gujarat. They are closely related to gerbils but not found in pure sand dunes. Other wild animals of Thar Desert also includes Indian Wild Ass and Dromedary Camel.

Another World by Pat Barker is a novel whose parts do not add up to the sum of the whole. There is no getting there in this novel, for there is nowhere to go. With the past dripping into the present through a ghost and a hidden mural in the family's home the novel has enough of the past to create interest; yet, it does not. The characters are well drawn, but there is no follow through and the reader is left wondering what to make of it all. This was a disappointment for this reader who immensely enjoyed the author's Regeneration Trilogy (Regeneration, The Eye in the Door and The Ghost Road). By all means, read Pat Barker, but start with her earlier trilogy.

For a newcomer as I was, it was an extremely rough ride. It is a short book but at the same time, there is a lot going on which related to the background. The Horus Heresy, the splintering of the Dark Angels Space Marine legion. The recruiting trials of neophytes and the correlations of the planetary governments who are hosting the Adeptus Astartes.
It was a smack in the face.
The first thing that startled me were the neophyte trials. The main character, a Dark Angels Chaplain named Boreas, descends with his command squad upon a tribal world. The tribesmen greet the warriors and summon forth several youths who compete for the right to return with the Dark Angels and begin training to become Astartes. After the physically challenging trials, only three are left.
Of these three, one fails. What occurs after was a cultural shock to me. It was a wake up call as to the nature of the society that is the Imperium, and what some feel are the necessities it takes to survive in this war torn future. But like an initiate myself I somehow got over what happened and continued to read, muddled as I was. There were surprises yet in store.
Without giving away any spoilers or surprises, Angels of Darkness was one of two somewhat controversial titles (in an entertaining way), the other being Simon Spurrier’s Lord of the Night. Like Spurrier’s masterpiece, Thorpe’s book revolves around a character who has been alive since the Horus Heresy, and who provides a unique first hand perspective about the events.
The historically connect character in this book was a prisoner of the Dark Angels, a man named Astelan. A former lord of a planet and one of the Dark Angels’ coveted fallen, half the book is spent covering the torture and interrogation of Astelan, who insists on his innocence. One of the most powerful character moments in Black Library history occurred when Astelan was offered a choice, and the decision he chooses comes at great personal cost.
Another similarity between Angels of Darkness and Lord of the Night was in the manner it was told. The two books went back and forth between two different perspectives on the chapters. The different was that while Angels of Darkness involved the same characters at different times, Lord of the Night involved two different characters at the same time. Thorpe’s work bounces back and forth between the past and the present. The present offers another, different plot which loosely connects to the past. However, the present story seems pale and of less importance to the revelations that occur during Astelan’s interrogation.
I cannot claim in good conscious that Angels of Darkness is a great novel for fresh fans. People who know and understand enough of the background will find an unforgettable story that rocks what they know to the core. But the newcomer will be lost and confused, like being dropped in white water rapids when they don’t know yet how to swim. But for those of us who consider ourselves Warhammer 40k fans, Angels of Darkness is a must read.

“Brain aneurysm research clearly needs additional funding to make great strides in the areas of detection and treatment,” said Christine Buckley, executive director of The Brain Aneurysm Foundation.
Hanover, MA (PRWEB) May 16, 2013
According to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, it is estimated that more than 6 million people in the United States have an unruptured brain aneurysm. Although all aneurysms do not rupture during the course of a person’s lifetime, more than 30,000 people will be affected by a ruptured brain aneurysm this year. Almost 50% of those people who suffer a ruptured aneurysm will die and of those who survive, over 60% will face some type of disability.
What is proven is that early detection can save lives. On May 21, 2013, The Brain Aneurysm Foundation and supporters from around the country will head to Washington, D.C. for a series of meetings with legislators. The organization will be asking for support for research funding, support for future bills to ensure insurance companies are required to pay for screenings for patients as deemed appropriate by medical personnel, and support for future bills to ensure insurance companies are required to provide more coverage for rehabilitative care.
Funding for brain aneurysm awareness and research continues to lag. According to 2012 statistics provided by the National Institute of Health, aneurysm research receives only $4.5 million in public funding. This compares to $3.07 billion allocated to AIDS research, $44 million allocated to ALS research and $800 million allocated to breast cancer research.
“Brain aneurysm research clearly needs additional funding to make great strides in the areas of detection and treatment,” said Christine Buckley, executive director of The Brain Aneurysm Foundation. “Each year, we raise private dollars to fund research being conducted by some of the leading medical professionals in this field. This work has made a significant difference for individuals who are diagnosed with an aneurysm. But more needs to be done.”
The Brain Aneurysm Foundation will also hold a Luncheon Briefing on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at the Rayburn House Building. This event will focus on providing critical awareness of brain aneurysms, including facts and statistics, information on the importance of early detection and the need for greater research funding.
Speakers at the luncheon briefing will include Dr. Christopher S. Ogilvy - Director, Endovascular and Operative Neurovascular Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA as well as Scott Campbell, a board member of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation with his wife, Cheryl Campbell, a brain aneurysm survivor.
For more information on attending the Luncheon, please contact Dina Beaumont at Dinabeau(at)aol(dot)com
About the Brain Aneurysm Foundation
The Brain Aneurysm Foundation was established in Boston, MA on August 19, 1994 as a public charity. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is the nation’s only nonprofit organization solely dedicated to providing critical awareness, education, support and research funding to reduce the incidence of brain aneurysm ruptures. The organization also provides education materials and awareness information to health care professionals and the general population, as well as providing support for patients and their loved ones.
The Brain Aneurysm Foundation relies on fundraising support from individuals and organizations to continue to fund education and research to promote early detection of brain aneurysms, which ultimately saves lives. For more information, visit: http://www.bafound.org.

As an NLP Trainer or NLP Practitioner, our ability to recognise vulnerability in our students or clients is a key skill set. So exactly how do you do it while running courses such as NLP Practitioner? This is just as important for the NLP Practitioner, Hypnotherapist and Therapist when working one to one with clients.
One place to start is with a conscious decision to start calibrating a baseline for each student or client. We teach calibration skills on our entry level NLP Training and this is started on the free one day training workshop. This calibration includes processing visual, auditory and kinaesthetic signals from the client.
With larger groups this can be challenging just in terms of sheer numbers. Perhaps a more manageable approach would be to calibrate baselines for the group. As a student moves into a state of vulnerability there will be a ripple effect particularly in those seated nearby.
The baseline is critical because changes in state vary vastly both on the individual level and in terms of group processes. Where one person withdraws and internalises, another may become loud, while yet another response may be to become rigidly controlled. When calibrating the group, you are becoming sensitive to the waves and flow of what becomes a collective consciousness that may match the individual signs or not.
You might recognise that a student is becoming vulnerable by signs of rapport breakdown and separation from others. Or conversely you may see an increased rapport as group members nearby experience unconscious empathy that can be seen as physiological shifts.
The examples above are just that, examples. As an NLP Trainer or NLP Practitioner, remember to stay connected to the concept of NLP as the study of subjective behaviour.

The release of dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) by marine algae has major impacts on the global sulphur cycle and may influence local climate through the formation of dimethylsulphide (DMS). However, the effect of global change on DMSP/DMS (DMS(P)) production by algae is not well understood. This study examined the effect of low pH on DMS(P) production and epithelial cell morphology of the free-living red coralline alga Lithothamnion glaciale. Three pH treatments were used in the 80-day experiment: (1) current pH level (8.18, control), (2) low, chronic pH representing a 2100 ocean acidification (OA) scenario (7.70) and (3) low, acute pH (7.75, with a 3-day spike to 6.47), representing acute variable conditions that might be associated with leaks from carbon capture and storage infrastructure, at CO2 vent sites or in areas of upwelling. DMS(P) production was not significantly enhanced under low, stable pH conditions, indicating that red coralline algae may have some resilience to OA. However, intracellular and water column DMS(P) concentrations were significantly higher than the control when pH was acutely spiked. Cracks were observed between the cell walls of the algal skeleton in both low pH treatments. It is proposed that this structural change may cause membrane damage that allows DMS(P) to leak from the cells into the water column, with subsequent implications for the cycling of DMS(P) in coralline algae habitats.

As the UK approaches summer with high hopes of good weather, a team of adventurous scientists will be setting sail for far chillier climes. Thirty researchers from eight laboratories will leave the UK on 1st June 2012 to study the effect of ocean acidification on the Norwegian, Barents and Greenland Seas.
They will travel as far north as polar ice will allow, collecting seawater samples from both the open water and gaps in the sea-ice. This study is the largest ever to examine the effects of altering carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in “real world” seawater samples directly after they are collected at sea.
Polar seas are expected to be especially sensitive to the effects of ocean acidification, since more CO2 dissolves in cold water, making Arctic waters a valuable natural example of how the marine environment will respond to a high CO2 world. Also, the chemical sensitivity of surface seawater in the Arctic means that it will become corrosive to calcium carbonate before anywhere else in the world. This could pose a serious problem for marine plankton and other organisms that use calcium carbonate for theirshells or skeletons.
During the expedition, the scientists will study the impact of the changing chemistry on marine organisms and ecosystems, the cycling of carbon and nutrients in the sea and how the sea interacts with the atmosphere to influence climate.
Two approaches will be used in this study. Firstly, the researchers will look at how ecosystems vary between areas where the chemistry of seawater is naturally more acidic or alkaline. By contrasting the observations over a range of different conditions, insights researchers will discover how acidification may affect organisms living in their natural environment, where natural selection and adaptation have had time to play out.
The second approach is experimental, using tanks of natural seawater collected from the upper ocean and brought into controlled conditions on deck. This natural seawater will be subjected to various levels of CO2 that are likely to occur in the future. The expedition, aboard the RRS James Clark Ross, will end on 4th July in Reykjavik, Iceland and members of the team will be blogging about their progress at http://www.arcticoacruise.org/?cat=1.
Dr Ray Leakey, Arctic Research Theme Leader at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) and the leader of the current expedition says, “Few studies have investigated the effects of ocean acidification on the marine food web of the remote Arctic seas, and most have focused on laboratory cultures or natural communities from a limited number of relatively accessible coastal locations. By contrast our expedition will be by ship in both ice-covered and ice-free oceanic waters far from land. This will allow us to undertake the most comprehensive study to date of the ways in which the plants and animals living in the surface waters of the Arctic ocean respond to acidification.”
Dr Toby Tyrrell from the National Oceanography Centre and coordinator of the Sea Surface consortium added, “Following our cruise last year to the northwest European shelf (for more information please see Notes to Editors), this second cruise will visit the more remote Arctic Ocean which may well be more seriously affected by ocean acidification. The data collected will improve our understanding of future impacts, providing important information about the consequences of continuing to burn fossil fuels in enormous quantities (atmospheric CO2 is already 40% above its preindustrial level, and still climbing). Our final cruise, in 6 months time, will visit the other polar ocean, the Southern Ocean.”
The global ocean has absorbed about a third of the total CO2 produced by human activities in the past 200 years. This uptake of CO2 has greatly slowed the rate of human-driven climate change. It is also responsible for major changes to ocean chemistry, known as ocean acidification, with potentially serious implications for marine life.
The research is part of the UK Ocean Acidification Research Programme (UKOA), funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).

Gene transcripts encoding hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) exhibit tissue- and muscle fiber type-dependent responses to hypoxia and hypercapnic hypoxia in the Atlantic blue crab, Callinectes sapidusPublished 31 May 2012 Science Leave a Comment
Tags: biological response, crustaceans, physiology
Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) is a transcription factor that under low environmental oxygen regulates the expression of suites of genes involved in metabolism, angiogenesis, erythropoiesis, immune function, and growth. Here, we isolated and sequenced partial cDNAs encoding hif-α and arnt/hif-β from the Atlantic blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, an estuarine species that frequently encounters concurrent hypoxia (low O2) and hypercapnia (elevated CO2). We then examined the effects of acute exposure (1 hr) to hypoxia (H) and hypercapnic hypoxia (HH) on relative transcript abundance for hif-α and arnt/hif-β in different tissues (glycolytic muscle, oxidative muscle, hepatopancreas, gill, and gonads) using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Our results indicate that hif-α and arnt/hif-β mRNAs were constitutively present under well-aerated normoxia (N) conditions in all tissues examined. Further, H and HH exposure resulted in both tissue-specific and muscle fiber type-specific effects on relative hif-α transcript abundance. In the gill and glycolytic muscle, relative hif-α mRNA levels were significantly lower under H and HH, compared to N, while no change (or a slight increase) was detected in oxidative muscle, hepatopancreas and gonadal tissues. H and HH did not affect relative transcript abundance for arnt/hif-β in any tissue or muscle fiber type. Thus, in crustaceans the HIF response to H and HH appears to involve changes in hif transcript abundance, with variation in hif-α and arnt/hif-β transcriptional dynamics occurring in both a tissue- and muscle fiber type-dependent manner.

The Latest: Gov. Rauner calls school-funding special session
CHICAGO (AP) — The Latest on the Illinois budget and a school funding plan (all times local):
Gov. Bruce Rauner has summoned lawmakers into special session to settle the public education funding issue weeks before the school bell is set to ring.
The Republican ordered the House and Representatives and Senate to report to Springfield Wednesday. This was after the Senate missed a noon deadline to send to him a school-finance plan legislators approved in May.
Rauner pledged to issue an amendatory veto of the measure. He suggested he wanted to excise a portion of the bill that would require the state to pay the employer portion of Chicago Public Schools’ teacher pension costs — like every other district.
John Cullerton is the Democratic Senate president from Chicago. He says he wants to discuss the matter with Rauner instead of starting a costly special session.
The bill is SB1 .
Gov. Bruce Rauner is reiterating his call for Illinois lawmakers to send him a school funding overhaul by noon, or he’ll call a special session this week to deal with the issue.
Legislators have approved a plan to ensure the neediest school districts get money first. But it also requires the state to pay the employer portion of Chicago Public Schools’ teacher pensions. The Senate has yet to send it to Rauner’s desk.
The Republican governor has said he wants to use his amendatory veto powers to make changes because the plan unfairly benefits Chicago, but he refused to discuss them in detail during a Monday morning news conference ahead of his deadline.
Rauner accused Democratic leaders of holding the plan “hostage” to force a school funding crisis. Rauner says if there’s a special session, it’ll start on Wednesday.
The Democratic Illinois Senate president wants Gov. Bruce Rauner to forgo his planned veto of education-funding legislation.
John Cullerton of Chicago says in a statement Monday that he’d “like to have a conversation with Gov. Rauner” to find out where the Republican stands on the revised school-funding formula.
Rauner says that money is on top of another grant and amounts to a “bailout” to help the strapped school district make up for past pension-payment shortfalls.
The Senate never sent Rauner the legislation. Rauner set a noon deadline Monday for receiving it or he’d call a special session.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN March 21, 2013
Our Response to Recommendations 1-7 will be given in the same order and so identified. 1. Since all expenses were approved under the existing TRAVEL POLICY (attached as Exhibit A) which requires that such be authorized by the Executive Director, recorded and signed by the traveler, Executive Director, Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Board (in cases where one or more of these officers is also a traveler, the practice has been to have one of the other non-traveling officers sign off on it), there was no violation of this policy and no reason to ask any individuals to reimburse the Authority for any funds expended under it. All of our policies are subject to HUD review and approval. In response to the suggestion that we strengthen the travel policy, however, we have instituted a pre-approval form (application for funding) stating the purpose, dates and projected costs of travel, to be authorized by one of the listed Agency or Board Officers, or (supposing a case where all those listed under the policy are involved) by another, non-traveling Board member. The same form then doubles as a post-travel approval form with the appropriate Board Officer/administrator authorization. In our exit interview the auditors mentioned that the absence of such a form was the main reason for designating that particular set of expenses as ‘questionable’. Now that we have adopted and already used the new form in response to the first recommendation, we presume the procedure is now satisfactory. Further analysis of the travel reimbursements, totaling $11,689, identified in the audit report as ‘questionable’ reveals that the payments for travel of the Executive Director and Chairman of the Board during the period examined were all charged to, and paid out of, non-federal funds, i.e., monies earned by the SSHA through its own activities. Only the expenses of Ms. Peterson ($1,818) were charged to federal funds. Her travel was necessary because as the individual at SSHA who runs the scholarship programs (Bollinger, Home Depot, and Freedom and Civil Rights Scholarships), available to residents and their families, she was required by PHADA – which administers those funds – to attend a training session available at the same conference the E.D. and Board Chair were attending. The suggestion that we could have ‘saved’ that amount by not sending her for the certification training would have meant that we would then have been unable to participate in these scholarship programs and our residents denied
the opportunities afforded them for self-improvement through further education. Past practice has been that those funded for travel report out at the next Board meeting on the results of their travel and in some cases extensive written reports have also been submitted for circulation to the Board. This practice will be continued. It has never been the policy or practice to reimburse anyone for travel or per diem expenses for spouses, nor has any such payment ever been made. The per diem rate for room and board for purposes of reimbursement is set by the federal government and varies by location. 2. Bringing vendor invoices to the full Board for approval, as suggested by the audit report, would result in delays in payment to vendors which, in turn, would count against us in the PHAS (Public Housing Assessment System) scores used by HUD to designate different Authorities as ‘troubled’, ‘performing’, or ‘high performing’. As an Authority which has consistently been rated as a ‘high performer’ for the past six years, this has enabled us to earn an additional share of 5% of each year’s Capital Fund allotment from HUD for modernization of our facilities. This is a significant amount of money for us as federal funding has steadily shrunk over the years, and we are reluctant to jeopardize our standing with HUD, which regards our record of timely payments to vendors as part of our commitment to being a positive contributor to the local community. (The most recent notice of our PHAS scores, dated Nov. 7, 2012, is attached as Exhibit B.) But in order to strengthen the oversight function of the Board as recommended, we have since instituted a practice whereby the Vice-Chair of the Board reviews all invoices on a weekly basis, prior to payment, after the Executive Director has reviewed them to certify receipt of goods or services detailed in each invoice and initialed his approval and directed the CFO to charge the appropriate budget. Any additional Board members who care to, may also share in this weekly review process at any time. Security has also been enhanced, as per the recommendation of the audit team from OSC, by keeping the supply of blank checks and checksigning machine under lock and key in the office of the CFO and the nameplates in a separate location under lock and key in the Office of the Executive Director so that neither can use them together without the other’s knowledge and consent. 3. As noted in our original response to the draft audit report, this is a moot point since any connection with J&M Auto was discontinued by December, 2011, well before the audit was begun.
4. We have since updated the position title of Cindy Gaugler to reflect the recommendation of the audit team that since she in fact serves as our Chief Financial Officer, this should be reflected in her job title. Her new title is ‘Director of Finance’. We shall bring other title changes to the Board, where necessary, for approval this spring. 5. The recommendation that in future negotiations we should “align the Director’s salary with industry comparables and Federal requirements” appears to flow from the auditors’ assumption that the ‘suggested guidelines’ floated by HUD in August, 2011, which involved ‘salary caps’ for Executive Directors of different sized PHA’s would become permanent HUD policy. To date this has not happened, and the guidelines have provoked all manner of controversy nationwide, including the threat of litigation by the national organization of PHA professionals (PHADA). Thus far these guidelines have not been implemented by HUD, nor even been publicly reaffirmed. SSHA policy on Executive Director salary and compensation was set by an agreement between the Saratoga Springs City Council and the Board of Commissioners of the SSHA in 1981 – comparability with Saratoga School District Principals. Since no single principal was singled out in that agreement (there are, today, seven principals), we assume that the idea at the time was that our Executive Director would be compensated somewhere within the range of all the existing principal’s salaries. If now we revert to this criterion of comparability, which has been our policy since 1981 and remains our policy to this day, we find that the latest figures available from the official New York State Website, <SeeThroughNY::Payroll-Schools>, for 2012* are as follows: Caroline Street Elementary - $160,306 Lake Avenue Elementary - $147,512 Dorothy Nolan Elementary - $130,540 Division Street Elementary - $122,882 Greenfield Elementary - $97,926 Saratoga Springs High School - $117,550 *No figures are given for Geyser Road Elementary, whose principal is an interim appointment while the search for a permanent appointment is being conducted. By this criterion of comparability, the only criterion mentioned in our policy and stated clearly in the Personnel Policies and Procedures Handbook of the SSHA, Mr Spychalski’s salary of $144,921 for 2012 is well within the range of the salaries listed above. (See Exhibit C) We agree to utilize professional consultants familiar with the public housing industry, in addition to our own legal counsel, to advise us on contract details in the future as per the audit recommendation. In terms of
suggested modifications to the Executive Director’s current contract provisions, we shall secure advice of counsel and address these issues in Executive Session of the Board before the end of this fiscal year. HUD, incidentally, recommends multi-year rolling contracts to keep superior employees in a highly competitive field. 7. Besides securing the checks and signing-machine in separate locations under separate individual’s control, we have enhanced the payroll oversight process by having the Executive Director and Facilities Manager verify their respective payrolls, then, together with the Chair or Vice-Chair of the Board, review time-sheets and verify payroll checks prepared by the CFO every Friday morning, prior to distribution to the employees. We trust that the above speaks to all the recommendations made in the OSC Audit Report. Approved, by vote of the Board of Commissioners this 21st day of March, 2013. Signed:_____________ ________________ SSHA Board Chair, Dr. Eric J. Weller


Space radar techniques for land mapping
Entrepreneurs at ESA’s Business Incubation centre in the Netherlands have used radar technology from the agency’s Envisat remote-sensing satellite to develop a compact, high-resolution radar that can monitor land and buildings from small aircraft.
The radar can monitor structures such as dams, harbours, canals and buildings, leading to maps for urban planning, territory surveillance and cadastral updating. Several flights over the same location can spot changes between pictures, revealing ground movements that could affect structures.
“Because our system is so compact, it can be mounted on very small unmanned aircraft or on single-engine aircraft such as the Cessna 172. This makes it easy to take as many pictures of items or areas on land as necessary, at a much lower cost than traditional surveys,” explains Adriano Meta, inventor of the radar and Director of MetaSensing, the company he started to provide the service.
The sensor’s main advantage is that it can be flown on small, readily available and inexpensive aircraft. In comparison, conventional bulky radar requires large, costly planes, while laser systems need more time to take high-resolution pictures, and are therefore often flown on costly helicopters.
Satellite radar technology on small aircraft
“We developed our high-resolution mapping sensor by integrating the synthetic aperture radar technology developed by ESA and the Technical University in Delft,” says Mr Meta.
The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology developed by ESA for its satellites has considerably advanced the quality of radar imaging. It is now used for various applications, such as providing terrain information to geologists to understand ground movements and help in mineral exploration, imaging oil spills in water to help public agencies intervene at the right time, and mapping ice hazards for navigators. SAR can take 3D pictures through clouds and darkness, which has made it possible for ESA’s Envisat and ERS satellites to track changes accurately in the polar ice sheets.
While satellites are ideal for providing information on large regions and remote locations on Earth, more frequent flights and higher resolution could in some cases be an advantage for local areas and structures.
The use of a small aircraft makes it much easier to plan the coverage and repeat measurements of an area over time in order to detect changes and identify potential weaknesses in geological and architectural structures. Several flights also make it possible to spot changes of objects on the ground.
“With this system, we can provide a cost-effective service to private companies and public institutions that need accurate mapping, millimetre deformation monitoring, change detection and vegetation classification on a frequent basis,” explains Mr Meta.
“With the lower cost of small aircraft, it becomes possible to take pictures from above to map areas and identify changes instead of doing measurements on the ground. Many would not have been possible to do earlier with the high operating costs of helicopters.”
“Because our sensor is simple to use and can work at the speed of a small airplane, we can cover up to 600 sq km per hour with a resolution up to the 20 cm range,” adds Mr Meta.
ESA expertise kick-started the prototype development
MetaSensing is hosted at ESA’s Business Incubation centre at ESTEC, which, according to Mr Meta, has been very important in the sensor’s development. “ESA’s business incubator was indispensable for manufacturing the first sensor prototype. The access to ESA resources and expertise was important.”
“Without the technology spin-off of the SAR technology from the ERS and Envisat satellites and the research at TU Delft, as well as the support from ESA experts, we would not be where we are today.”
Bruno Sarti, Head of ESA’s Engineering Services Section, adds, “The realisation of MetaSensing sensors is a typical example of the honest and efficient cooperation between an industrial team pursuing an innovative technological application and ESA experts sharing their engineering knowhow.”
Function validated in tests over Rotterdam
The MetaSensing system underwent final testing on an aircraft from Rotterdam Airport in March. Testing the system on landscapes with well-known structures was extremely important for verifying the sensor.
“After finalising and testing all algorithms in the laboratory, we verified the performance on industrial structures and buildings. We reached a very high accuracy at an unprecedented spatial resolution, in the order of decimetres, which has never before been commercially available,” says Mr Meta. “We are in the process of verifying the upper accuracy limit of our instrument. We expect to reach a level of millimetre deformation accuracy in the very near future.”
Once the sensor is operational later this year, the start-up company will look for investment funding and begin the market introduction of its innovative high-resolution, cost-effective mapping and monitoring technology.

IMAGE scores "firsts" (A.G.U. Overview of the IMAGE Special Issue of GRL)
The March 15 issue of Geophysical Research Letters, published by
the American Geophysical Union, carries a special section on the
IMAGE (Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration)
spacecraft. A number of "firsts" are reported in this special
section, including the first images of low-energy neutral atoms
from the solar wind and the ionosphere, the first results of
magnetospheric sounding, and the first determination of the spatial
distribution of the ring current and plasmasphere.
Numerous satellites have mapped out the Earth's magnetosphere
by directly measuring their local plasma and fields environment.
Through in-situ measurements of ever increasing sensitivity and
resolution, these missions have identified key processes that
couple the magnetosphere to the solar wind and ionosphere and
have established the basic magnetospheric disturbance modes.
Since the early 1980s, in-situ observations have been routinely
complemented by auroral imaging, which has proven an invaluable
diagnostic of the state of the magnetosphere.
Lacking until now, however, has been the capability to obtain
simultaneous, global images that are needed to reveal the large-
scale distribution and dynamics of the various plasmas that
populate the magnetosphere. To address this need, NASA's
IMAGE spacecraft, the first dedicated to magnetospheric imaging,
was launched on March 25, 2000. Using advance imaging
techniques, IMAGE provides comprehensive multispectral
imaging of key magnetospheric plasma regions and boundaries.
