Ice Storm on The Light House
As you've undoubtedly read unless you've been under a rock (or in Florida) for the last few days, this week it's going to be insanely cold across the US. Here in NYC it's well below freezing tomorrow, but still a whole lot warmer than places like Minnesota and North Dakota, where it's apparently going to be something like -50ºF. It's a serious business, but if nothing else, winter landscapes provide stark and occasionally otherworldly beauty. As such, it seems like a good time to present Thomas Zakowski's and Tom Gill's crazy photos of frozen lighthouses on Lake Michigan.

Lenticular Clouds Wow I had no idea about spectacular cloud formations. Mother Nature is always capable of surprising and delighting us!!!!
Mt Fuji, JAPAN........ Often mislabelled Mount Egmont, New Zealand has a special cloud formation. NB The cloud formation is photoshopped and is FAKE except for the lower layer. See "attached" photo.
Altocumulus lenticularis Mont Fuji Lenticular clouds altocumulus lenticularis or cloud formations are round or ovoid appearing in mid and high altitude (from 2000 meters)
Mount Fuji Lenticular Clouds -- Such extraordinary cloud formations are the result of high velocity or jet stream winds being forced over a barrier or mountain. The resultant laminar flow causes the air to move in wave-like layers. Waves develop above the mountain and on the leeward side. If the air contains sufficient moisture, characteristic standing-wave lenticular clouds will form.
✶ Lenticular clouds on Mount Fuji, JAPAN. This is a well-known but seldom seen cloud formation ✶

La Jument Lighthouse, Brittany, France : Plans to build a lighthouse on La Jument started not long after the wreck of the Glasgow-built steam ship Drummond Castle in 1896. The building works were privately financed by a wealthy Frenchman who had almost died in another shipwreck. Construction began in 1904 but the lighthouse could not be finished until 1911 because of the sea's often challenging weather conditions. Photo: Jean Guichard

Jument lighthouse, France - Pixdaus I've always loved this photo, as the ocean represents life's issues, fears and difficulties. And Christ is the lighthouse, and I'm having to be right where God put me, learning that nothing the ocean can do to me, will destroy me, as long as I trust God, the creator of the ocean. Some days, you just have to go in, shut the door and trust God, no matter how it looks or sounds like, outside.

On hearing the sound of an approaching helicopter, he went outside, ready to be picked up. Only it wasn’t his rescue ‘copter but photographer Jean Guichard’s. Guichard was out to get shots of the picturesque lighthouse in the storm when he captured the lighthouse keeper as well in a photograph that went around the world.

Is there a mathematical way... or an online calculator to figure out what kind of flow to expect from a particular nozzle size based on pressure?
I'm running a mechanical preturbo AI system that is used by pressurizing a tank. It's used with boost pressures between 15 - 20 psi. The nozzle is rated at around 380 cc @ 20 psi. I was planning on increasing the nozzle size to somewhere around 0.03125" - 0.4" (1/32" -1/25") to get more flow. I was reading the nozzle size sticky and read that the .9 MM (.0354") equates to the M5 and flows 316 CC/Min at 100 psi. I also found an old post by rotary racing that said he modifies his nozzle tips to about a 1mm opening to give around 700cc of flow @ under 20 psi.
I don't know the exact size of my nozzle but I'm pretty certain its not bigger then 1mm. So something isn't quite adding up. If my nozzle flows 380 cc at 20 psi, and rice racing's is 1mm (.04") (the M7 is .045") flowing 700 cc 20 psi, then why does that chart in the sticky show the same size nozzle (M7) flowing only 442 cc at 100 psi? That's a HUGE difference in flow for the same size orifice, especially considering the nozzles rated at flowing much less, are at a much higher pressure. 20 psi vs 100 psi

When it comes to solar power, two big names come to mind: Sunrun and Tesla. Both companies offer solar panels, solar systems, and solar roofs to help homeowners and businesses save on energy costs. But which one is the better choice? In this article, we’ll compare Sunrun vs Tesla and explore the pros and cons of each company.
Table of Contents
Elon Musk projects have become synonymous with innovation and high-tech advancements, and Tesla is no exception. The company has made a name for itself in the electric car industry, and now, it’s making waves in the solar industry as well. Tesla’s solar panels and solar roofs are designed to be sleek and modern, making them a popular choice for homeowners who want to save on energy costs without sacrificing aesthetics.
On the other hand, Sunrun has been in the solar industry for over a decade and has established itself as a leader in the field. The company offers a range of solar panels and solar systems to fit different budgets and energy needs. Sunrun also offers flexible financing options, making it easier for homeowners to switch to solar power without breaking the bank. So, which one is the better choice? Let’s dive deeper into the details and compare Sunrun vs Tesla.
Sunrun vs Tesla: Overview
When it comes to solar energy systems, Sunrun and Tesla are two of the most reputable and popular companies in the industry. Both offer residential solar panel installations, battery storage, and other solar energy solutions. In this section, we’ll provide an overview of each company and highlight some of the key differences between them.
What is Sunrun?
Sunrun is a California-based solar energy company that was founded in 2007. The company offers a range of solar energy solutions, including solar panel installations, battery storage, and energy monitoring systems. Sunrun is known for its affordable pricing, excellent customer service, and flexible payment options.
What is Tesla?
We think we need to say very few words about this. Tesla is a well-known electric vehicle and clean energy company founded by Elon Musk. Tesla offers a range of solar energy solutions, including solar panel installations, battery storage (such as the Tesla Powerwall), and solar roof tiles. Tesla is known for its innovative technology, high-quality products, and commitment to sustainability.
Sunrun vs Tesla: Key Differences
One of the key differences between Sunrun and Tesla is their approach to solar panel installations. Sunrun typically uses third-party installers to handle the installation process, while Tesla has its own team of experienced installers. This means that Tesla can provide more consistent quality control and workmanship warranty coverage.
Another difference is their pricing structure. While both companies offer affordable pricing, Tesla prices tend to be slightly lower than Sunrun’s. Tesla also offers price matching on its solar panels, which can bring its effective price below average. Additionally, Tesla offers financing options and a power purchase agreement (PPA) option, while Sunrun offers solar leases and cash purchases.
Overall, both Sunrun and Tesla are reputable and reliable solar energy companies that can help homeowners meet their energy needs. Each company has its own strengths and weaknesses, so it’s important to carefully consider your energy goals, budget, and preferences when choosing between them.
Our Big Comparison
When it comes to solar energy, two of the biggest names in the game are Sunrun and Tesla. Both companies offer a range of solar products and services, but which one is the better choice for your home? In this section, we’ll compare Sunrun vs Tesla in six key areas: solar panels, solar systems, solar roof, battery storage, cost, and service.
Both Sunrun and Tesla offer high-quality solar panels, but there are some key differences to consider. Sunrun uses panels from a variety of manufacturers, while Tesla produces its own panels. Tesla’s panels are known for their sleek, futuristic design and high efficiency, but they may not be the best choice for homes with non-standard roof configurations. Sunrun’s panels, on the other hand, offer more flexibility in terms of installation and customization.
In addition to solar panels, both Sunrun and Tesla offer complete solar systems designed to meet the needs of individual homeowners. Sunrun’s systems are typically more customizable, with a range of options for panels, inverters, and other components. Tesla’s systems, on the other hand, are designed to be more streamlined and easy to install.
One of the most exciting Elon Musk projects is Tesla’s solar roof, which combines solar panels with roofing materials to create a seamless, attractive look. Sunrun does not currently offer a solar roof option, so if you’re interested in this innovative technology, Tesla is the clear choice.
Both Sunrun and Tesla offer battery storage options that allow homeowners to store excess energy generated by their solar panels for use later. Tesla’s Powerwall is perhaps the best-known battery storage system on the market, but Sunrun’s Brightbox offers similar functionality at a slightly lower cost.
When it comes to cost, Sunrun and Tesla are fairly evenly matched. Sunrun’s solar panels and systems tend to be slightly more expensive than Tesla’s, but the difference is not significant. However, Sunrun does offer a solar-as-a-service option that allows homeowners to lease their solar panels rather than purchasing them outright, which can make solar energy more accessible for those on a tight budget.
Finally, when it comes to service, both Sunrun and Tesla are known for their excellent customer support. However, Tesla has been criticized in the past for long waiting times and difficulty getting in touch with customer service representatives. Sunrun, on the other hand, has a reputation for being more responsive and helpful.
To sum up, both Sunrun and Tesla offer high-quality solar products and services, but the best choice for your home will depend on your individual needs and preferences. Consider factors like cost, customization options, and customer service when making your decision.
Is Sunrun the same as Tesla?
Sunrun is not the same as Tesla. While both companies operate in the renewable energy sector, Sunrun primarily focuses on residential solar installation and energy services, while Tesla is known for its electric vehicles and energy products, including solar panels.
Did Elon Musk own Sunrun?
Elon Musk did not own Sunrun. He is the CEO and founder of Tesla and SpaceX and multiple other companies.
Are Sunrun solar panels made in China?
Sunrun does not exclusively use solar panels made in China. Like many solar companies, Sunrun sources solar panels from various manufacturers around the world, including China, depending on factors such as quality, availability, and cost.

Public | Italian
The Palazzo del Panormita is a Renaissance style palace in central Naples. It rises alongside the narrow via Nilo, near via Spaccanapoli, where it is called San Biagio dei Librai, diagnoal from Santa Maria Assunta dei Pignatelli, adjacent to the Piazza del Nilo with the Nile God statue. It is south of Palazzo d’Afflitto and the Palazzo Spinelli di Laurino. The palace was initially commissioned prior to 1450 by Antonio Beccadelli, (1394–1471), called Il Panormita (poetic form meaning "The Palermitan"), who was a prominent Italian poet, canon lawyer, scholar, diplomat, and chronicler. It has since gone through many owners, including Giacomo Capece Galeota, a regent in the Tribunal of the Vicariate.

text: Why would Grace Johnson, an African American high school senior, take a bullet to save the life of a Ku Klux Klansman named Jonathan Gilmore? The question hovers unanswered over Grace's hometown of Vigilant, Michigan. Few people, black or white, understand her sacrifice, especially since rumor has it years ago a member of Gilmore's family murdered several African Americans including Grace's father. Grace doesn't want to talk about it, but the decision to speak is not hers to make. Ancestor spirits emerge to insist, in ways Grace cannot ignore, that she bear witness to her town's violent racial history so that all involved might transcend it. With hindsight made telescopic by the wisdom found in African American mythology and the book The Velveteen Rabbit, Grace recounts a story of eye-for-an-eye vengeance that has blinded entire generations in her hometown. Faced with the horrific crimes that have disfigured her life, Grace wonders if in the end, she can do as the spirits have asked and lead Mr. Gilmore, the town of Vigilant and her own soul on a journey toward reconciliation, redemption and true grace.

Until now the backroom deliberations within the Conservative party over the Falklands have remained largely private but the notes are among those released by the Margaret Thatcher Archive Trust as it opens its files from a year which came to define Lady Thatcher's career.
They range from Ken Clarke, then a junior minister, arguing to "blow up a few ships but nothing more" to West Devon MP Peter Mills who warned "my constituents want blood".
On April 6, four days after the incursion, the Chief Whip, Michael Jopling, prepared a note for the Prime Minister saying: "You may like to have general re-action to events in the Falkland Islands."

The size of all sensible heat balance components in livestock building varies in time, because it depends on time-varying weather factors. On the example of two buildings, sensible heat balance was shown on a daily basis. Measurements carried out in winter and spring in two livestock buildings with usable attics included measurements of air temperature and humidity inside and outside, air velocity in ventilation channels, and wind speed. Measuring devices were designed to record the results of measurements at intervals of 300s. During each such time interval, sensible heat losses by ventilation, heat losses by permeation through the barrier construction, and the amount of sensible heat produced by the animals were calculated. The results of measurements were shown in graphs. The study is important for the development of animal livestock building.
The study assesses the quality of malt from spring malting barley grown in the Podkarpackie Province, and delivered to the SAN Farmers' Cooperative in 2018. After the initial technological assessment in the laboratory of SAN, the grain was malted in the Department of Agricultural and Food Production Engineering at the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Land Management and Environmental Protection of the University of Rzeszow. Moisture, protein content, runoff time, viscosity, pH, wort clarity, extract content and diastatic power were determined in the tested malt, as well as wort obtained from it in the process of mashing. The average parameters of protein content, extractivity of malt ground into flour, of pH and the wort extract were normative, while the other researched parameters did not meet high quality requirements. A high loss of grain mass was noted during malting. After laboratory tests of malt and wort, it was determined that part of the malting raw material is of high malting quality and can be used without modification in the brewhouse for the malting and mashing process.
This paper presents the results of pea straw compaction efficiency tests. The compliance of the tested material to pressure agglomeration was assessed depending on the compaction pressure used (45-113 MPa). The compaction was carried out using a Zwick testing machine, type Z020/TN2S, and a closed die pressing unit. It was found that, along with the pressure increase, the material density in the chamber increased (from 1.255 to 1.76 g∙cm−3), as well as the agglomerate's density (from 0.739 to 1.05 g∙cm−3) and the product's mechanical resistance (from 0.31 to 0.69 MPa). Increasing the compaction pressure in the analyzed range increased the unit value of compaction work, from 17.16 to 34.27 J·g−1.
The purpose of the paper was to determine the impact of UV-C irradiation of seed potatoes on the formation of tuber defects in the progeny crop. The field experiment was carried out in 2016-2018, and the object of research was potato plants of the Vineta, Lord and Owacja varieties. Different heights of the UV-C radiator above the chamber bottom (40-100 cm) and exposure times (1-30 min.) were used. Data was analyzed with the STATISTICA 13.3 program, at the assumed significance level α = 0.05, using a non-parametric test χ2 for multidimensional contingency tables. In the scope of the parameters of the chamber for UV irradiation of plant material adopted in the experiment, no statistically significant UV-C effect on potato tuber defects was demonstrated. In the potato tuber crop of the examined varieties, shape deformations in the form of kidney and spindle disease were identified. The crop of potato obtained from seed potatoes irradiated with UV-C demonstrated a lower percentage of deformed tubers, as compared to the control combination.
It is justified thatproblems related to the changes in structural and mechanical properties of plastic material and influence of structural elements of equipment and modes of implementation of the for-mation process on them are considered detail, taking into account empirical data, theoretical dependencies and results of physical experiments. It was established that during the mechanical influence of rollers with grooves on a structured dispersion plastic material in the node of injection of the molding machine, internal shear, and shearing deformation have a preponderant value. Accordingly, the productivity of machines is determined mainly by the structural parameters of the working bodies geometry, kinematics, and contact area. It is shown that increasing the pressure in the plastic material causes a decrease in its volume, but the relationship between pressure and volume has a nonlinear character. It has been established that regardless the variety of flour from which the plastic material was prepared for bagels, its moisture content and the duration of fermentation reduced viscosity of the effective plastic material along with the increase of the shear stress. The paper describes the refined rheological model of the Bingham body deformation, which develops instantaneously, and the velocity of the common elastic deformation in the dough is a simultaneous function of stresses and temperatures, which are close to exponential ones.
Performance analysis of a 1.0 tonne desiccant evaporative cooling storage structure for mango fruits was studied. The study examined the effects of inlet air conditions and water flow rates through an absorber on the cooling performance of the system. The airflow rate was approximately 0.24 m3·s−1 and water flow rates through the absorber varied from 0 to 0.252 l·s−1. The system produced approximately 7 kW of cooling at water supply rate of 0.252 l·s−1. A simple linear correlation was established for condition line slope from inlet to exiting air conditions for all the water flow rates. Lines of best fit resulted in correlation coefficient better than 0.96. The observed temperatures with a direct evaporative cooler, tested with freshly harvested mango fruits were found to be between 15.1°C and 23.4°C and relative humidity between 81.8% and 97.7%. Physiological weight loss and firmness assessments of the fruits were also conducted.
This study analyses the results of research on the improvement of grain quality using a filling core in a grain silo. The research is a part of the research project aimed at developing an innovative system for drying and storing maize grain that, among other benefits, reduces grain damage. Two series were carried out: a control series, in which a chute was applied as the main element, and an operation series, in which a cascade chute was used for testing. The analysis conducted on the simulated operating conditions showed a 4-5-fold reduction in the amount of grain damaged following the application of the filling core compared with the control series. It has also been shown that a 6-meter cascade chute considerably decreases the velocity of the falling grain when loading the silo.
The article presents the method of creating a 3D model of a passive lifter with (polder) plowshares, used in sugar beet harvesters, along with stages of its preparation and results of stress analysis. The computer simulation takes into account force timelines obtained during field tests of the tool. The Stress analysis module of the Autodesk Inventor program was used for the analysis, using the finite element method (FEM). The analysis included the elements that constitute the working part of the lifter, whereas elements of the flexible system were omitted. The results confirm that the lifter structure was developed correctly in terms of durability. The highest reduced stresses, calculated according to the Huber-Mises-Hencky (HMH) hypothesis, were 128.4 MPa (the minimum value of the safety factor related to the yield point is 1.61). The paper also discusses the construction of two flexible couplings with infinitely variable torsional stiffness, which can be used as an alternative solution for a typical flexible system: a shock absorber and a helical spring.
The purpose of the supply chain management is to ensure a competitive advantage as well as specific added value for the benefit of all supply chain links. Appropriate management practices generate many benefits, allow for savings in particular segments of the supply chain by means of cost reduction, which in turn directly leads to the competitiveness of enterprises belonging to a specific chain. The above-mentioned issues have become the subject of this thesis. Therefore, the British American Tobacco distribution network is strategically analyzed. A location and number of distribution centers will be i.a. taken into account. Reduction in the number of distribution centers will be suggested in order to reduce logistics costs in the supply chain, i.e. transport and storage. The studies were carried out based on the analysis of flows and route planning of the logistics operator for the transport of the company's products.
Wheat kernel is made up of structures of different apparent viscosities with varied ability to withstand stress and dissipate strain energy. Its complex mechanical behaviour determines technological susceptibility and is important for wheat quality assessment. The aim of the study was the examination of the Peleg and Normand model to characterize the overall stress relaxation behaviour of wheat kernel at varying loading conditions. The relaxation experiments were made with a help of a universal machine Zwick Z020 in compression at four distinct initial load levels, i.e., 20, 30, 40, and 50 N. The measurements were made for intact wheat kernels at seven levels of moisture content. Relaxation characteristics were approximated with the help of Peleg and Normand formula. An interactive influence of the load level and moisture on Peleg and Normand constants have been confirmed. The initial loading level had none or only slight effect on the model coefficients (Y(t), k1 and k2). The parameters of the Peleg and Normand model decreased with the increase of water content in kernels. For moist kernels, a higher amount of absorbed compression energy was relaxed, since less energy was necessary to keep the deformation at a constant level.

State parks to offer charging stations
LANSING — Lake Michigan’s scenic coastline and other areas throughout northern Lower Michigan will become more accessible for electric vehicle users this summer with the installation of electric vehicle charging stations at select Michigan state parks.
Starting from Warren Dunes State Park in the southwest corner of the Lower Peninsula, north toward beautiful state park destinations at Holland and Grand Haven, Ludington, Orchard Beach, Leelanau and Petoskey on the Lake Michigan shoreline and additional points inland, an estimated total of 30 charging stations are scheduled to be installed throughout the summer.
“This ability to link some of our state parks with electric vehicle travelers will provide a win-win situation for both parties,” said Ron Olson, chief of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ Parks and Recreation Division. “The enhancement will no doubt increase the number of visitors at these parks, while providing convenience and significantly increasing the range for EV motorists.”
The rollout of the accessible stations across the state is being done in phases. State parks in the Upper Peninsula are scheduled to be part of the second phase, ideally to take place next year.
On a national level, similar efforts are also underway with electric vehicle charging stations being installed at scenic, cultural and civic destinations.
In the city of Norway, a single-vehicle charging station opened in January 2021 at the corner of Main Street and Sixth Avenue. A grant from the Charge Up Michigan Program covered 33% of the $77,300 project. The Norway Department of Power and Light paid another 33% of the total, while the city’s Downtown Development Authority covered the rest.


Physiological signaling within and between regions of the central nervous system (CNS) involves complex interplay between neurons and vascular elements via intermediary glial cells that bridge the two. Diseases that cause neurodegeneration dysfunction or failure in this interplay or 'neurovascular coupling' creates an imbalance between the metabolic needs struggling neuronal tissue with available bio-energetic resources. Similarly, dysfunctional neurovascular coupling is implicated in degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons in glaucoma, involving reduced capillary blood flow spanning optic nerve to retina. Vascular pericytes are specialized cells that distribute intermittently along the walls of capillaries and contribute to formation of blood vessels and maintenance of the blood-brain barrier which regulates the privileged immunity of the CNS. At the level of microcirculation in the retina, pericytes help regulate neurovascular coupling through tunneling nanotubes that help connect local networks of pericytes. The important paper by Adriana Di Polo and her colleagues (Alarcon-Martinez et al., 2022) investigates with unprecedented resolution the mechanisms through which vascular pericytes influence retinal capillaries. Using an innovative combination of transgenics and two-photon laser scanning microscopy (TPLSM) to visualize capillary pericytes in vivo, the team demonstrated that experimental glaucoma constricts capillaries through calcium-dependent mechanisms that restricts ganglion cell blood supply.
The team demonstrated that experimental glaucoma constricts capillaries through calcium-dependent mechanisms that restricts ganglion cell blood supply
That restoring calcium homeostasis in retinal pericytes restores both vascular and neuronal function while protecting ganglion cells highlights the potential utility of modulating pericyte physiology as a therapeutic intervention more generally in CNS degenerative disease.


What if one German electric aircraft company told you that industrywide goals to “go greener” could translate from the road to the sky?
Lilium is developing a seven-seat personal electric vertical takeoff and landing jet, or eVTOL (EE’-vee-tole), in the hopes of spearheading the future of electric aircraft.
It’s also developing its own high-tech vertiport landing strips in Florida — and that’s just the start.
“Our vision is to create a sustainable and accessible mode of high-speed travel and bring this to every community,” Lilium CEO Daniel Wiegand said in a statement. “Transport infrastructure is broken. It is costly in personal time, space consumption and carbon emissions.”
Lilium is pursuing the electric jet technology because it will bring more capability to aircraft “with lower cost per seat mile while delivering low noise and low emissions,” Wiegand said.
Lilium, founded in 2015, announced in March that it would go public in a $3.3 billion deal via special-purpose acquisition company Qell.
Leading Qell Acquisition Corp. is Barry Engle, a former General Motors North America president, who has said he’s interested in sustainable mobility and is confident in the Lilium Jet.
“A lot of times people talk about flying cars or air taxis, if you will,” Engle said on an April episode of the Automotive News podcast “Daily Drive.” “It doesn’t do justice to what this product is. It is a highly engineered aircraft. In terms of the form factor, when you think about it, essentially, it’s a business jet, and it happens to take off and land vertically.”
The jet has a 45.6-foot wingspan and is nearly 28 feet long. Fixed wings and no tail boost the jet’s cruising efficiency, according to Lilium.
The Lilium Jet, for which commercial operations are planned for 2024, also has a 155-plus-mile range and is able to cruise at up to 10,000 feet at 175 mph. The technology expands upon Lilium’s five-seater concept, first demonstrated in May 2019.
The jet uses 36 electric ducted fans with integrated acoustic liners to keep its noise level low. The fans are embedded into the wings.
The company ultimately envisions connecting towns and cities between 25 and 125 miles apart, calling this “regional air mobility” instead of “urban air mobility.”
“We do see this company being at the absolute forefront of this really exciting new industry,” Engle said. “It’s not very often that you see an opportunity to create a market that large and then find a technology and a company that has an opportunity to differentiate itself and be one of the leaders.”
The jet technology is one thing. Preparing the necessary infrastructure is another.
Though Lilium can use existing helipads because of its ducted fans, the company also plans to build its own infrastructure for landing, recharging and takeoff. Lilium is building a network of vertiports across Central and South Florida.
Lilium says the network will span 186 miles, with the goal that most of Florida’s 20 million residents will live within 30 minutes of a vertiport, allowing people to live farther outside city centers, commute more easily and approach their transportation options differently.
The company said in January that it is partnering with the city of Orlando, design agency Tavistock Development Co. and infrastructure provider Ferrovial Airports to develop at least 10 vertiports in major cities across the state.
Outside the U.S., Lilium is working on developing a network between Düsseldorf and Cologne Bonn airports in Germany.
“The addressable market of this opportunity is huge,” Engle said. “The real competition for this aircraft is long, boring car rides.”

Laurence Fox has called GB News the “home of cancel culture,” as a presenter who backed Dan Wootton claims he is the latest to be suspended.
Calvin Robinson said he has become the third personality from the TV channel to be sanctioned in connection with the backlash over Mr Fox’s “totally unacceptable” on-air comments about a female journalist.
In a post on X/Twitter, Mr Robinson said: “I have been suspended from GB News.” The announcement comes hours after he posted a lengthy tweet revealing he would not be appearing on Dan Wootton Tonight without the show’s host.
Responding to Mr Robinson’s latest message, Mr Fox said: “The home of cancel culture continues its cull of the courageous.
“GB News showing itself for just what it is. Feeding the mob more and more meat in the hope they will eventually become satisfied.”
Mr Fox was suspended over sexist jibes he made about JOE political journalist Ava Evans during Mr Wootton’s show on Tuesday, with GB News calling the comments “totally unacceptable”.
Mr Robinson tweeted: “I will not be appearing on Dan Wootton Tonight without Dan Wootton. Dan Wootton had a significant part to play in building GB News.”
He also hit out at what he called the “careerist, ambitious” GB News staff currently “gunning” for Mr Wootton’s job.
And he claimed the channel would be on borrowed time if Mr Wootton were not supported. “Standing up for Dan is standing up for the very idea of GB News. If he falls, we all fall,” he added.
Mr Wootton has also been suspended by the broadcaster over failing to immediately challenge Mr Fox’s comments.
On the show, Mr Fox had made a series of remarks about Ms Evans, which included asking: “Who would want to shag that?”
The exchange prompted around 7,300 complaints to Ofcom, which has launched an investigation into the programme.
Ms Evans said the comments had left her feeling “physically sick”.
On Friday morning, GB News boss Angelos Frangopoulos apologised to Ms Evans for the comments stating they “should not have gone to air” and should have been “properly challenged” by Mr Wootton.
Mr Fox and Mr Wootton have apologised and GB News is undertaking an internal investigation into the incident.
Mr Frangopoulos added: “We’re looking into the way that the interview was handled. We’re also looking obviously at the comments themselves which were appalling, and we absolutely are horrified about what was said.”

National Conference on Poverty to be Held in Silver Spring
The conference is sponsored by A Wider Circle in collaboration with Montgomery County’s Office of Community Partnerships.
It will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Silver Spring Civic Building.
“Poverty is a major issue around the country, throughout our region, and right here in Montgomery County,” said Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett.
According to County released statistics, the Federal poverty level has been $18,530 for a family with one parent, one infant and one school age child. In Montgomery County that family needed an annual income of $74,983, or an hourly wage of $35.50 to cover basic necessities.
“Meeting the growing and diverse needs of the most vulnerable of our community must be our priority,” Leggett said. “I applaud A Wider Circle for bringing together this gathering of experts to share and learn from best practices around the country. Let’s become the national model right here in Montgomery County.”
Conference highlights include presentations by national and regional experts in addition to discussions by those rising out of poverty. The conference will be moderated by Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank
“Nearly 50,000,000 adults and children live in poverty in the United States,” said Mark Bergel, executive director of A Wider Circle, who was recently named a 2014 CNN Hero for his efforts to reduce poverty. “That breaks my heart because we have the resources and the expertise to reduce that number to zero. On March 29, experts from around the country will share strategies that have worked in their communities and around the world. When those living in the greatest need become our greatest priority, we will end poverty.”

Nona Oneill. Shower. September 24th , 2017.
These showers come with a quiet steam generator, which makes the bath more enjoyable. The typical shower enclosures include four walls, the ceiling, and the nuts, screws, and bolts, which are required to keep everything together.
Over the last decade, people who opt for style and elegance prefer steam showers. They offer rejuvenation, health and wellness benefits that exceed the expectations of the user. A steam shower can be taken daily without the inconvenience of going to the gym or spa. A steam shower offers privacy, intimacy, and seclusion for ultimate enjoyment.
Three-hole faucets come in many different styles and need three separate holes: one of each handle, the hot and the cold, and one for the spout. The tree pieces are not connected and can be mounted as far as 16 inches apart. When purchasing a three-hole be sure to measure the spread requirement, i.e. the distance between the openings to make sure the faucet will fit.
Shower doors are another vital part to your steam shower. The seal around the door is very important if the seal isn't tight enough to much steam escapes making the unit inefficient.
A single-hole faucet is very popular in today's market. It is easy to use and contains a single handle that is convenient since it controls the water pressure and temperature with one lever. Furthermore, there are many marvelous designs that will fit any bath decor.

Warning over debit order scams in tough economy
This was in light of the country being in a technical recession and this week's petrol increase that would eventually affect everyone financially.
Goolam Ballim, chief economist at the Standard Bank Group, was aware that unauthorised debit orders occur but said they affected only a small number of individuals in comparison to the millions of bank users.
“It is not as generalised as people would assume,” Ballim said of unauthorised debit orders. “But we’re living in trying times and people are looking to make every rand go further.”
However, he said, from their investigations they found that many of the debit orders were authorised and people approached the bank to try to get out of them.
“People don’t protect their financial privacy. Some are careless and they are relying too much to strangers,” he said.
He said banks did not send links to clients but fraudsters would - from websites almost identical to that of the banks.
“During these times, with a weak economy, which attracts fraudsters, people need to be more careful.”
Sabric chief executive Kalyani Pillay said debit order scams were prevalent.
She encouraged bank clients to register for SMS notifications from their banks to be immediately alerted to transactions going through from their bank accounts.
Pillay said should any transaction be disputed, people should contact their bank immediately.
The bank would guide them through the necessary steps to have the transaction reversed and also on what to do to prevent a recurrence.
“We further encourage bank clients to only share personal information like bank account details when absolutely necessary.
“Keeping your personal information as confidential as possible will make it more difficult for unscrupulous entities to defraud you,” Pillay said.
Last month, the Daily News reported on Brenlin Plumbing Contractors, a local business, which was embroiled in an international scam involving debit orders.
People would call Brenlin complaining of a R99.99 debit order coming off their bank accounts from Brenlin. The company had said it wasn’t responsible for those debit orders.
Rosanne Caldwell, co-owner of Brenlin, said: “We think the article had a good effect. People are still calling but this week we haven’t had any calls. Those who still call become aggressive at times but we still explain it to them. We tell them they should speak to their banks because the fraudsters are using our number.”
She said she went to report the incident to the police, but she did not receive the help she hoped for as she was told that making a statement was unnecessary, so she left.

Former President Clinton at the GreenTech “pilot plant” in July 2012.
This is the fifth in a series of articles about Terry McAuliffe and GreenTech.
by James A. Bacon and Carol J. Bova
On July 6, 2012, GreenTech Automotive launched the rollout of the “all-American” MyCar electric vehicle at a ceremony attended by former President Bill Clinton, the governor of Mississippi, the assistant secretary of Homeland Security and, as described by local media, “an overflow crowd.”
It was a festive occasion. Clinton lauded company chairman Terry McAuliffe and former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, a Republican, who was also in attendance, for overcoming their political rivalries and delivering a tremendous manufacturing project for the state of Mississippi.
McAuliffe, too, was upbeat. “For too long, America has been inventing products here and sending the production jobs overseas,” he said. “But … we’re proud to bring manufacturing jobs back and prove that the U.S. is still the world leader in technological innovation and manufacturing.”
The day before, McAuliffe had told the New York Times that he thought the company could produce 10,000 cars in 2013. He quoted an $18,000 price tag for a top-of-the-line MyCar, with less capable versions selling for less, implying potential revenues in the realm of $150 million. During the ceremony itself, he announced big news: Domino’s Pizza Inc. would exclusively use the MyCar to deliver pizzas in 10,000 locations across the U.S.

Dry skin on the legs can be incredibly uncomfortable and even painful, especially when you’re wearing your favorite shorts or hitting the sand at the beach! Unfortunately, it’s not easy to tell what causes this type of dry skin, but there are several common triggers. In this article, you’ll learn about the possible causes of dry skin on the legs, as well as how to treat it quickly and effectively so that you can get back to living life without pain or discomfort in your day-to-day activities.
Tips to getting Rid of Dry Skin
Dry skin on your legs is irritating and annoying. You can improve how your skin looks with a few changes to your lifestyle habits and some moisturizing creams. Find out how you can make dry skin better! Dry skin occurs when there isn’t enough moisture in your body. This causes your skin to crack, peel, and itch as it tries to get more water from anywhere it can find it. Moisturizers help by increasing moisture levels in your body so that dryness isn’t an issue anymore. But why do you have dry skin on your legs in the first place?
Good nutrition is particularly important because of your skin’s constant renewal process. You’re constantly shedding dead skin cells and replacing them with new ones, so it’s important to have enough nutrients in your diet to help keep your skin healthy. Top vitamins for dry skin include A, C and E, which help build strong cell walls. If you can’t get all three through a balanced diet, supplements are an easy way to fill any gaps and make sure your body gets what it needs to fight dryness.
Applying lotion to dry skin is an important preventative measure. Your skin relies on hydration and oil to keep it supple, and can get irritated when that gets out of balance. Lotion also helps protect your skin from harmful elements like sun damage, windburn, heat, cold, and other irritants. If you’re concerned about dry skin on your legs or elsewhere on your body (the underarms are another common problem), check out our ultimate guide to preventing dry skin for some additional tips—and consider picking up a hydrating moisturizer like our Editors’ Choice winner for sensitive-skin Dermalogica’s Rapid Resurfacing Concentrate. It contains both glycerin and shea butter to help restore moisture balance in addition to helping soothe irritation.
One of the best things you can do for dry skin is keep it hydrated with a lotion or moisturizer. And remember: no matter what, you’ll need to reapply after sweating, toweling off, or getting out of water to lock in as much moisture as possible.
Socks and Gloves
Avoid Harsh Products
Moisturize Every Day
If you have dry skin, it’s important to apply a moisturizer every day. A lot of people think they can just do it once or twice a week, but dry skin on legs is difficult to treat and keep under control. You need to make sure that you’re keeping your legs from getting too dried out throughout your daily activities (like walking around town or running errands) and also throughout nighttime hours when you sleep. Don’t forget about your knees! Those are some of the hardest places for moisture to penetrate and help make sure that your skin stays healthy and soft. The best way to moisturize is with products that contain glycerin—they’re all over drugstore shelves and can be found relatively cheaply.
When it comes to preventing dry skin on legs, moisturizing every day is one of your most important tasks. That doesn’t mean that you have to do a full-body routine—your arms and torso don’t need as much moisture as your legs do. You should use at least one product (like a lotion or gel) in addition to any products designed for other areas of your body, like a facial moisturizer. For best results, try using something with shea butter or glycerin in it. In general, though, dry skin on legs is a difficult condition to treat and can feel very uncomfortable! So be sure to keep up with your application schedule—and try not to forget about treating your knees!
Wear Protective Clothing
When you’re spending time outdoors, wear clothing that will protect your skin from direct contact with sunlight. Fabric, such as cotton and wool, helps keep your skin moist by absorbing sweat, which is then transported to your skin’s surface. This makes it easier for you to cool down if you start to overheat. To keep yourself safe in hot weather when swimming or doing water sports like windsurfing or boating, make sure to wear a full-body rash guard or wet suit. Make sure that there are no gaps in between your pants and long sleeves so they don’t rub against your dry skin.
The best thing you can do for your skin is to prevent it from drying out by wearing protective clothing that blocks sunlight. Swimwear, for example, should have a long-sleeved top and thick bottoms with an elastic waistband that fit snugly to keep water out of your bathing suit. In winter months when temperatures plummet, use a knit cap and gloves. If there are any areas of dry skin on your legs, always wear socks or tights under your pants so they’re less likely to rub against them. Always carry lip balm or moisturiser with you in case you need to reapply.
Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen
Avoid dry skin by applying sunscreen to your legs. When you first apply, it might feel sticky or greasy, but that feeling usually goes away after a few minutes. To avoid any irritation and make sure your moisturizer stays put, choose a water-resistant sunscreen and apply it before you leave home for work or play. It’s also important to avoid using exfoliating scrubs or loofahs on your legs; these are abrasive and can worsen dryness as well as cause cuts that can lead to infections. To help prevent dry skin on your legs, change out of wet bathing suits quickly and pat them dry rather than rubbing them with a towel. You should also wear cotton clothing around your calves to reduce moisture from sweat soaking into your pants, socks or shoes.
Dry skin on your legs can also be caused by factors outside of your control, such as genetics. If you have thinning hair or are losing color in patches, that could mean your body is losing more melanin. While excessive dryness isn’t usually a sign of diabetes, it can increase your risk of developing diabetes and prediabetes if it affects other parts of your body such as hands or feet. Your doctor may recommend applying lotion three times a day to avoid infections and other complications associated with dry skin on legs. He or she may also suggest prescription topical agents like retinoids to help improve color and texture and offer sun protection at the same time.
Eat Well And Stay Hydrated
The best way to treat dry skin is to maintain proper hydration levels. That’s because water helps your body slough off dead skin cells, allowing for healthier skin underneath. If you don’t get enough water, your hair, skin and nails will suffer—so make sure you’re getting at least 2 liters per day. It’s also important to eat well. A healthy diet will improve your overall health and encourage better cell turnover within your body, resulting in radiant skin. Make sure you’re getting a variety of foods with every meal; focus on fruits and vegetables that are high in antioxidants—these help combat signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines.
Next, remember to moisturize your skin. Use a lotion containing glycerin at least once a day to help lock in moisture and nourish your skin. There are many other ingredients that can benefit dry skin as well, including shea butter, oatmeal, and vitamin E. Make sure you don’t pick any products with alcohol or fragrances—these will only dry out your skin further. The best time to apply lotion is right after a bath or shower; that way you have softened up your skin already so it absorbs quickly and completely.
Exercise To Reduce Stress
A quick run around your neighborhood is a great way to reduce stress. Exercise, in general, lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) and increases feel-good endorphins. Exercise also makes you sweat, which opens pores and loosens dead skin cells that are trapping dryness. Get moving; you’ll soon notice how much better your skin looks when it’s finally breathing!
As with any new exercise program, start slowly and work your way up. A good rule of thumb is to work out three times a week for at least 20 minutes, increasing as you go. Consider adding yoga or Pilates to your workout routine. These activities work with, rather than against, gravity to stretch and lengthen muscles, which can help reduce scarring and improve circulation.

A customer asked the following question. I am looking to perform some research using DDR DRAM chips. I would like to dynamically adjust the power to just the DRAM chip while running test programs from a FPGA/processor. This means that I need a board with both a soft DDR controller core (so I can manipulate the refresh rate) and, at the same time, control just the DRAM voltage (I don't want to mess with the FPGA's voltage). Do you sell any boards that meet both of these criteria? I am not opposed to de-soldering capacitors and powering the DRAM from the exposed pads. Here is the recommendation. You can look at the Atlys.

The French, as Marilyn Monroe and Nicole Kidman have both assured us in song, will gladly die for love. They’ll also publish Japanese comics we have yet to see. Last month they went one step further: French publisher Asuka brought out a local edition of Japanese magazine Be-Boy, a monthly anthology devoted to ‘boys’ love’ – sex- or angst-laden tales of homoerotic passion, aimed at female readers. Asuka plans a 400-page bi-monthly edition for just €4.95. But are they on the cutting edge, or behind the times?
English-language translated manga tend to be standalone releases. We have yet to produce a magazine that successfully replicates the Japanese formula – the ultra-cheap, disposable phone-book-sized weekly or monthly anthologies that give a new series or creator the chance to build a readership over a period of months and keep them for years. When a Japanese comic is translated into English, it appears in big, relatively expensive 200-page slabs, with few tie-ins to create any kind of synergistic payback for the publishers’ investment.
In Europe, however, they’ve been doing things differently since the late 1970s. France, Italy and Spain were well-established markets for translated anime and manga before the English-language boom triggered by the release of Katsuhiro Otomo’s movie Akira in 1991. In France, where anime was a regular component of children’s TV from 1978, shows like Club Dorothee (which had its own weekly magazine) helped to create the market for manga publishing, first through established mainstream companies like Glenat and later through specialist publishers like Tonkam, Delcourt and Asuka.
You can buy manga in European languages which have yet to see print in English – intriguing works like Osamu Tezuka’s 70s-noir Barbara and longrunning soccer story Captain Tsubasa (in France it’s published as Olive et Tom.) So it shouldn’t be any surprise that a European publisher thinks it can succeed with an anthology for a dedicated niche market. But is Asuka taking a risk too far?
The market for print erotica is shrinking worldwide, even in hitherto well-protected niches. More and more fans are heading for the Internet to view or download erotic and pornographic material, hitting print sales and advertising revenue. When Be-Boy‘s Japanese publisher Biblos folded in March 2006, it had been publishing a healthy-looking list of shonen ai and yaoi – boys’ love – comics since 1988. The bankruptcy of its parent company precipitated its own demise.
Libre Publishing Co. Ltd. stepped in less than two months after Biblos fell, taking over many of the titles, including Be-Boy, but Biblos wasn’t the only casualty in the market. Both manga and more mainstream publications, for wider audiences as well as niche markets, were falling victim to the developing worldwide trend of consuming pornography and erotica on the Internet. Japan’s pioneering gay mag Barazoku had already folded two years earlier, in October 2004, after a 33-year run.
Celphones and PDAs – cheap, go-anywhere search platforms that can be flipped on and off in a second, or slipped out of sight if embarrassment threatens – are eating further into print’s declining share of the erotic market. The Anime Encyclopedia points out that porn usually leads mainstream genres in the adoption of new delivery technologies. Japan usually leads Europe and America in just the same way.
Maybe Asuka has calculated this is a good time to establish a niche anthology title and build up a regular readership, ready to convert them to subscribers when the European celphone market is ready for boys’ love manga downloads. Maybe this will turn out to be a risk too far, another of the many publishing initiatives that bite the dust every year – but if they succeed in keeping the title going, they may create a secondary market for other licensees who will find it easier and cheaper to translate out of French than Japanese.
They may also, of course, introduce students of French to interesting new vocabulary omitted from most coursebooks.
And finally, a little test: which film does the song quoted in the title of this post come from? It’s a live-action costume movie and you win my undying respect for your sheer costume geekery if you can identify it.

When heading out on vacation, it’s always a challenge staying on top of your workout routine. While I don’t every count on keeping up the same level of intensity or duration, I always try to stay active — for my continued fitness and sanity.
We returned to visit family in my hometown of Des Moines, WA and then went to Long Beach, WA for a little beach time and relaxation. In spite of growing up in the area and vacationing in nearby Seaside and Cannon Beach, OR many times, this was our first time at Long Beach. Not only was the beach and town much more low-key, we were very impressed by the recently-built Discovery Trail that extends 8.2 miles from Long Beach to Ilwaco
(click above for a full-size view of the trail – download PDF)
We stayed near the Northern end of the Discovery Trail on Sid Snyder Drive, which is also where the boardwalk ends — a great walk with younger kids. My wife and I were able to slip out and go for about a 6 mile total run from Sid Snyder Drive South to Cape Disappointment State park.
Discovery Trail is a phenomenal, rolling trail that is well-maintained and marked for casual and serious running, biking or walking. Its full length from North to South is 8.2 miles, so a full down-and-back would be a serious run, but would also yield an amazing experience. In our shorter run, we were loving how the trail meanders through rolling seagrass and young fir trees with views of the ocean around every corner. Along the way, you’ll find public restrooms and access to the beach, should you wish to remove your shoes and run or walk on the beach. There’s also plentiful wildlife. We saw deer, bald eagles and various other wildlife as we ran.
And, as far as crowds… we were quite lonely on that drizzly morning as we only encountered a handful of people walking on the trail that morning. It was July, so the drizzle wasn’t too cold… it actually felt quite refreshing in combination with the cool sea breeze coming off the ocean.
Next year, we’ll plan to run more of this phenomenal trail, but for now, we’ve gotten just a taste of it and will remember that beautiful run for a long time. If you’re heading to the area, bring your running shoes and bikes so you can get the full Long Beach experience on the Discovery Trail.

MINI JCW Countryman
It’s the first-ever four-wheel-drive MINI JCW, but can it transfer its rally roots to the road?
The MINI John Cooper Works family is all about extreme performance, and the new JCW Countryman is the maddest of them all. It’s not the fastest, but the brash styling and rally-inspired exhaust note are strictly for extroverts. When you’re on the right road, the four-wheel drive helps it grip hard, plus it’s fast and huge amounts of fun to drive. However, the rock-hard suspension and £30,000 price tag limit its appeal.
On paper, the car’s credentials are promising. With 215bhp, it’s the most powerful model ever to wear the JCW badge – eclipsing the hatchback, Convertible, Clubman, Coupe and Roadster JCWs by 7bhp. It’s also the first to feature four-wheel drive and a five-door layout.
A deeper bodykit, with a trademark vent in the side sills, plus new 18-inch alloys and a few JCW badges mark it out, but it’s no looker. There are seven colours, while the roof, mirrors and stripes are white, black or – exclusive to the JCW – red.
The interior is a bombardment of colour, thanks to optional Chili Red trim strips and red stitching on the gearlever and steering wheel. There’s the same space as in any Countryman – so it’s big for a MINI, but it’s no large family car. The 350-litre boot, which expands to 1,170 litres with the rear seats folded, trails the new VW Golf by 30 litres.

- New MINI Countryman PHEV 2020 review
- Long-term test review: MINI Countryman PHEV
Used car tests
But this car’s focus is on performance, not practicality, which is why the 1.6-litre turbo from the Cooper S is tuned to 215bhp. Whether you go for the six-speed manual or six-speed auto, it covers 0-62mph in seven seconds and hits 140mph.
That’s quick by any normal standards, but the acceleration feels brisk rather than ballistic – blame its extra 190kg over the JCW hatch for that. What hasn’t been diluted is the burbling exhaust, which lets out a flurry of small explosions on the overrun.
The stand-out difference between this and any other JCW model is the effect four-wheel drive has on the handling. In normal situations, MINI’s All4 system splits power evenly between the front and rear axles, but has the ability to send up to 100 per cent of the torque to either end in extreme situations.
The upshot is that the torque steer from the rest of the range is eradicated, which lets you apply smoother steering inputs, even on the limit. There’s also more traction, as all four wheels claw at the tarmac, but carry too much speed into a corner and you’ll wash wide with understeer.
Suspension lowered by 10mm, along with firmer springs and dampers, keeps the high-sided Countryman from rolling around in corners, while it takes sharp changes of direction in its stride.
Yet it does crash over every bump in the road, which leaves us thinking a Countryman with the JCW’s styling and engine, but the Cooper S version’s suspension, would have a far broader appeal.


Housing Minister Yoav Galant says that Israel plans to rapidly expand a small Jewish town located in a predominantly Arab area of northern Israel.
Galant says that he envisions the town of Harish will have 100,000 inhabitants by 2030, up from 4,000 today.
“We currently have 6,000 housing projects under construction in the town, with an additional 6,000 planned immediately afterward,” he says.
According to Galant, Harish is the most significant building project in the country since Modiin, a large city between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem that was constructed during the 90s.
Harish sits in the so-called Arab Triangle, abutting the West Bank and containing Arab towns and villages with few Jewish communities.

The New York racing season looks like it’s been saved.
A bill that would loan the New York Racing Authority, which essentially runs the Belmont, Aqueduct and Saratoga race tracks, has been introduced to the New York legislature by Governor Paterson.
That’s good news, one week before the June 5 Belmont Stakes.
Here’s what the bill will provide: it gives the NYRA a $25 million capital loan.
In return, NYRA would have to pay the state back by March 31st, 2011 or thirty days after a deal is struck with a vendor to operate VLT’s at Aqueduct.
Without the money, most people believe, racing would not continue at those tracks.
And that would be tragic.


The New Purple Coloured iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini Are Now Available In Malaysia
Apple has just made the new purple iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini available for purchase in Malaysia. This new colour is the 6th colour option overall for both devices and was first introduced during Apple’s recent live event which also saw the company release a new iMac and a new iPad.
Purple iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini in Malaysia now
The new purple iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini feature the same specifications as the original versions in that both devices feature a dual-camera system which consists of a 12MP main camera and a 12MP wide-angle camera as well as featuring the Apple A14 Bionic chip under the hood. Both iPhones tout FHD OLED displays with the iPhone 12 featuring a 6.1-inch while the iPhone 12 mini features a 5.4-inch display.
The pricing of the new purple coloured iPhones remains unchanged from the time they were first launched as with the storage versions offered. The iPhone 12 has a starting price of RM3,899 while the iPhone 12 mini has a starting price of RM3,399 and can be gotten with either 64GB, 128GB or 256GB internal storage. As many of you know, neither of these iPhones comes with a charger in the box.
Apple has also released a few new accessories to go along with the new iPhone colour which includes an Amethyst Silicone Case with MagSafe and a Deep Violet Leather Case with MagSafe. You can check out the new purple colour iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini as well as the new accessories over at the official Apple website here.
Pokdepinion: Truth be told, I’ve never used an iPhone before as I’ve always found them overpriced and just plain uninteresting. However, as I’ve grown older I’ve learned to appreciate what Apple is doing with their iPhones in terms of software and general support and now I am curious and willing to give the iPhone a try.

Auricular Acupuncture is a stimulation of acupuncture points on the external surface of the ear.
According to Cinese Medicine, the ear is considered a 'microsystem' of the whole body and coa be used o treat a wide range of health problems
Acupuncture has been practiced for around 300 years but Modern Auricular Acupuncture is based on the work of fench physician Dr Paul Nogier, where during the 1950's, he proposed that the ecternal ear correlated to an invrtrd foetus with has enabled the mapping of over 200 acupuncture points
In acupuncture, illness is due to an energy imbalance. By balancing the energy people feel better in themselves, so they often come just for preventive treatment (i.e. topping up or balancing of energy). Chinese medical theory holds that vital life energy circulates through the human body through channels called meridians. Good health results when this flow of energy is smooth and unobstructed. However, if for any reason this flow is blocked, ailments and disease occur. The function of acupuncture is to restore balance in the body so that vital life energy can flow.

Estimates for the Mixed Exponential Sum Associated to Polynomials Over F2m
Molina Gonzalez, Braulio
MetadataShow full item record
In this thesis, we addressed the open problem of improving the bound for mixed exponential sum associated to polynomials over F2m (Theorem 3.0.2), for some polynomials of large degree i.e. (when compared to m). In order to do this, such polynomials will have to be predetermined by the zeros of binary cyclic codes. This is accomplish by extending a result of T. Cochrane & C. Pinner  for the bound of such sums from the fields of prime order, to the fields of order a power of two. The bound of this principal result (Theorem 7.0.1) depends on the number of solutions of systems of polynomial equations, for which we employ results of coding theory to find the exact number of solutions in such equations, thus improving the bound (Theorem 3.0.2) for such polynomials of large degree.
