ChatGPT Goes Incognito: OpenAI’s Latest Move to Protect User Privacy!
OpenAI is launching an “incognito mode” for its popular chatbot ChatGPT that does not save users’ conversation history or use it to improve its artificial intelligence. The move aims to give users more control over their data and privacy. In addition, the San Francisco-based startup also announced a “ChatGPT Business” subscription that will offer additional data controls to its users.
According to Mira Murati, OpenAI’s chief technology officer, the new feature is part of the company’s efforts to put users “in the driver’s seat” regarding data collection. She also stated that the company is moving towards prioritizing user privacy, adding that the goal is to make the models “super-aligned” with the users’ preferences.
ChatGPT and other similar chatbots have been scrutinized lately due to concerns over how they handle user data, commonly used to improve AI. Italy banned ChatGPT last month over possible privacy violations, while France and Spain also launched investigations into the service.
However, Murati assures users that OpenAI complies with European privacy laws and is working to assure regulators. She added that user information has helped OpenAI make its software more reliable and reduce political bias, among other issues.
3. ChatGPT goes incognito
OpenAI just launched a feature for ChatGPT that allows users to turn off chat history.
This allows users to choose conversations that can be used to train their models. pic.twitter.com/0WlceglLOr
— Rowan Cheung (@rowancheung) April 26, 2023
OpenAI’s product officer Nicholas Turley likened the new feature to an internet browser’s incognito mode. He also stated that the company would retain conversations for 30 days to monitor for abuse before permanently deleting them.
The ChatGPT Business subscription, which will be available in the coming months, will not use conversations for AI model training by default.
OpenAI’s new features aim to give users more control over their data and privacy, following concerns over how chatbots like ChatGPT handle user data. The “incognito mode” and business subscription offer additional data controls to users who want to protect their privacy.

The Earlier – The Better: Reading During the Earliest Years
By Mary Mills
One of my most favorite moments as aunt is when my two-year-old nephew runs to me with a book in his hand and ask me to read it to him. Although, it is the same book every time, I read it without any hesitation because I know repetition and children’s interest is a vital part of learning and development during early childhood. His 6-month-old brother now joins our reading sessions, which makes those moments even more special.
Older brother, Holden, takes the lead by pointing out and labeling all of the animals, tractors, and fields in his favorite book, ‘Goodnight, Johnny Tractor.’ Some may question the impact of introducing books to young infants but research dictates that it is never too early to begin the excellent habit of reading to your children during their earliest years. Baker Thomas joined our reading sessions when he was around 2-months-old. Recently, I have noticed him responding and interacting more while reading books with him.
As an early childhood professional, I have observed many beneficial factors of introducing books during the earliest years. We are going to explore 5, of the many, benefits of reading during early childhood.
During the first three years of a child’s life, their brain develops at an astounding rate. Reading with young children stimulates optimal patterns of brain development, which helps build strong pathways in the brain and enhances their thinking, speech, and early literacy skills.
We all know that children love to mimic adults, particularly the important adults in their lives. What we may not be aware of is that babies learn language by mimicking. Reading is an effective way to expose young children to a variety of vocal patterns.
Reading and labeling pictures in the book can help children make the connection between words and images. The older Holden gets, the more interactive our reading sessions get. He now points and identifies the images in the book. It is very important to keep the children engaged by asking open-ended questions and keeping them involved.
Formation of Nurturing & Positive Relationships:
Reading to young children is a great way to form nurturing and positive relationships. The one-on-one time while reading to young children helps form a secure attachment with your little ones.
A Book Lover:
If children are read to during their early years, they will remember those precious moments which will enhance their love for reading.
School readiness begins at birth. Babies begin to learn the skills they need for reading from the everyday interactions they have with the trusted adults in their lives. The more you can incorporate reading books into your everyday routines, the greater the bond through family learning and engagement.

It focuses on Turner's ambition and at the same time his insecurity. He wanted to show that he too was a master and his ambition was to take the subject and form of some of the greatest works of art and produce something that is stylistically his own that matches if not surpasses the reference.
He had to be bolder, stronger, more exciting, more attention grabbing - and so it is not surprising that some have compared him to YBA's such as Damien Hirst.
While there were a range of subjects and styles not surprisingly I tended to focus on the seascapes. Just at the entrance there were two, starting with the work "Dutch shipping offshore in a rising gale" (below) by Willem van de Velde the Younger and next to it the Tuner equivalent "Dutch boats in a gale" (top).
The similarities between the pictures are obvious: it is the same fishing boat - exactly - and the same scene with storm coming and larger ships in the background. And Turner has make the scene more dramatic: the storm front is a threatening dark brooding menace to the left, so dark the sea and sky become one, with a physical three dimensional sea foaming and bursting with energy. He has also done one of those clever look at me touches in showing the boat from the other side and put in a threatening collision to make you wonder what happens next.
There is a tendency with Turner in Britain to always assume he come off best in such a comparison, but when presented with both pictures (almost identical in size) the Willem van de Velde the Younger's work is very impressive. There is a wonderful depth of detail of the boat from the rigging to the sailors that made me feel he knew boats intimately.
I was also left wondering two questions: firstly what sort of rig is that? The boom points in the air holding a sail with shape similar to a gaff rigger. The other end is not fixed and a sailor can be seen trying to tie it down. My other question of course is how on earth would their hats stay on?
Similar thoughts came into the next two pictures, again Dutch boats sailing in a storm and a Turner equivalent.
Apologies for the differences in reproduction: the Turner is below in faded yellow.
The blurb was all about how the Turner had made the beacon bend in the wind and there can just be seen a blur of a sea gull failing to land.
But actually the Jacob van Ruisdael picture "Rough Sea at a Jetty" is from a sailing point more threatening. In it there is a lee shore and the boat seems speeding towards it out of control, with the spar horizontal (that really does not look right). However Turner's the wind seems parallel to the coast, a much less dangerous situation.
There can be several reasons for these differences, one of which must be that Turner's prime objective was to impress the Royal Academy of Arts, not known for their sailing skills, while the Dutch Master's was to sell pictures to a knowledgeable group of merchants who earned their living from the sea.
And there are other examples where Turner comes in second best. The two largest canvases are of great sea battles, Turner's Trafalgar vs. Philip James de Loutherbourg's "Lord Howe's action, or the Glorious First of June" (below).
I'm not even going to post the Turner as it comes a poor second to what is one of the classic pictures of naval battles.
But while Turner started by wanting to emulate the greats of the past, in the end he headed in a different direction. None of them could have come up with "Snow Storm: Steam-Boat off a Harbour's Mouth":
You can quibble with this picture - if the wind is strong enough to bend the mast surely it would also drive the smoke horizontal - but Turner was aiming for something else.
He once said "Atmosphere is my style" and that sums up what he was trying to achieve. No longer aping what came before he was using his drive for effect to create a new vision for art - one that would lead to a range of movements from impressionism to even the futurists.
In the end he certainly achieved one of his goals: his paintings were worthy company to those of the Masters he was so keen to emulate. Not necessarily better, but certainly different, and in an amazing way that would open doors to new ways of creating and looking at pictures.
A thought provoking exhibition, about art, the artist and development of ideas, it's on until the end of January and well worth catching.
You would call those sprit rigs, though they seem to have a yard at the top (can't really see the yard, but the halyard is obvious in every example). The upper yard must have been necessary, since the sail is square, though many sprit rigs are square.
The sailor is hitching the lower end of the sprit with the snotter. A sprit should never sag or you're doomed!
One thing is certain, they have FAR too much sail up for those conditions, what we would call artistic license!
Thanks Michael, that's really useful to know (as can now google it!)
Yup, that is a lot of sail to have up in a storm.
In the first Turner there is what looks a bit like a storm jib but alas what looks like a blind helmsman

Latest Library Links
Happy Thanksgiving weekend to those of you in the US. November has been quite the month to say the least, but I’ve found a lot of comfort, hope, and guidance from the response to the crisis in the library circles. Here’s a roundup of the latest links, news, and library resources to recover and cope after the election and the tumultuous political season.
Check out the winners of the National Book Awards. The November 16 awards ceremony came right on the heels of the election, however, Lisa Lucas, head of the National Book Foundation, offers a suggestion for starting to bridge a divided country. [via NPR’s Morning Edition]
Talking to children about the election results has been a challenge for educators and parents alike. The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) created and shared the Unity. Kindness. Peace. Booklist as a helpful resource and opened up the discussion for further reading suggestions.
Post-election, many have taken to wearing safety pins to demonstrate safety and support for the vulnerable, following an earlier movement among Brexit protesters. Taking a page from the larger safety pin campaign,a outpouring of children’s literature authors rallied together to show solidarity against bullying. BookRiot shares some of their favorite author images and words of heart. You may want a box of Kleenex handy.
The #LibrariesRespond hashtag captures a host of media documenting the artwork, displays, articles, and other responses from libraries post-election.
We may need librarians more than ever. NPR reports on a Stanford research study finding that students have trouble telling the difference between real and fake news. Librarians have a big role to play when it comes to educating kids (and adults) about information evaluation.
While there’s a lot of uncertainty about the future, Library Journal’s 2016 Placements and Salaries report provides some clues about what the library profession looks like in the coming year. Infonista shares career takeaways from the report, including the promising outlook for LIS skills in the job market.
Meanwhile, teacher librarian, Karen Hoppis, built a solution to cultivate a culture of reading at Coal Ridge Middle School. Her slideshow explains how she did it and how librarians can create similar efforts at their own libraries.
Looking for STEM programming ideas or Makerspace activities? Little Bins for Little Hands is chock-full of science and other STEM-related activities, ideas, and resources, plus enough Legos and slime for hours of creation. There’s an even an ongoing holiday activity list. Crystal candy canes, anyone?
If you’re in need of an uplift, the New York Times has you covered with their story of a Bronx librarian bringing the joy of books to homeless children. Further proof that one person can and does make a difference.

Prefer For The best Steel Pressure Cooker
Many electric pressure cookers have sensors built in to keep the temperature in control. For example a stainless steel pressure cooker Malaysia. They also will protect you from burning your food. Which this will happen when there isn’t enough liquid in the pot to produce the required cooking pressure. This is particularly useful if there isn’t enough liquid in the pot to achieve the proper cooking pressure throughout the process of cooking. Instead of continuing to heat on high and risk scorching the food inside the pressure cooker, it simply changes to the “keep warm” setting. This provides you the chance to start the cooking process over again by adding liquid.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using an electric pressure cooker?
The electric pressure cooker’s ability to cook food quickly is its principal advantage. Additionally, the food keeps its natural wetness. That was because of its small size, this appliance reduces the amount of heat generated in the kitchen by more than half when compared to a cooktop or oven.
Those vitamins aren’t damaged during the cooking process, steam-cooked food has a more strong flavour and a higher nutritional value. Because food cooked with steam isn’t exposed to the oxidation process that happens when food is cooked with air, it preserves more of its original colour. Using steam to sterilise baby bottles, for example, is a cinch since it has been shown to kill the vast majority of potentially harmful germs. Choosing the stainless steel pressure cooker Malaysia is essential.
Cooking using an electric pressure cooker has the disadvantage of not allowing for the creation of crispy or crunchy textures or browning food.

Is an electric pressure cooker worth the money?
Yes. Purchasing an electric pressure cooker is undoubtedly a wise decision if you intend on using it often. You don’t have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen to make a delicious home-cooked meal when you use an electric pressure cooker. The bulk of dishes may be produced without the chef’s direct participation after the cooking process has commenced. Many foods need less time to make when prepared in a pressure cooker than when cooked on the stovetop, in the oven, or in a slow cooker. When utilising an electric pressure cooker, you won’t have to worry about your house being too hot.
It’s possible to get a multi-purpose electric pressure cooker that can do more than just pressure cook. These cooks can do things like slow cook food, produce yoghurt and rice, and many other things. It’s conceivable that you’ll be able to free up some room in your home by getting rid of some of your smaller electronic devices. If you’re looking to reduce the clutter on your counter, an electric pressure cooker may be a viable alternative to your slow cooker. In most electric pressure cookers, you may choose between a slow cooker setting of low and a high setting for the quick cook option.

How to Choose the Best Electric Pressure Cooker for Your Needs
Electric pressure cookers are available from a variety of brands and in a broad range of designs, so after you’ve made up your mind, you can start shopping. Consequently, you may wonder how to choose the finest electric pressure cooker for your purposes. There are a few things to keep in mind before making a purchase of an electric pressure cooker.

As part of its continuous strengthening of the “Paoay Kumakaway!” tourism campaign, the Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte (PGIN) opened three museums November 21 to highlight the diverse culture of the province, ranging from the Ilocanos’ Cordilleran roots to the vital role of agriculture in everyday life.
Launching the Balay Dingras, which opened on November 19, and the Burgos Lighthouse Museum and the Taoid Museum on November 21 kicked off the activities of the 2015 Tan-ok Festival of Festivals and added more attractions to the Ilocos Norte tourism trail.
Resulting from a project partnership with the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), the Dingras’ museum, located in front of the Municipal Hall bears the concept of a rice miller’s house.
Ilocos Norte Tourism Officer Aianree Racquel said that its architecture was inspired by Spanish-period houses in Dingras, also known as the rice granary of the province.
Meanwhile, the Burgos Lighthouse Museum came forth as a result of renovating the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse as a new tourist center now known as the Paru de Kabo Bojeador.
Raquel said it now feaures a much safer resting area as the former construction road has been cleared up to provide wider parking for tourist and vendors now have a safer area for vendors to ply their trade.
The municipality was hailed by Governer Imee R. Marcos as the “jackpot” of Ilocos Norte, for it boasts a number of popular tourist destinations, such as the Kapurpurawan Rock Formation and the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse itself.
She said the residents would benefit from the rapidly-growing tourism industry.
In Laoag City, situated within the La Tabacalera Lifestyle Center, the Taoid Museum showcases the pre-colonial side of Ilocandia and the province’s Cordilleran roots.
It was inspired and put together by nationally renowned screenwriter Floy Quintos, and designed by Ohm David, resident technical director of Dulaang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas.
“This is our tribute to our indigenous people in the municipalities of Nueva Era, Dumalneg, Carasi and Adams,” Racquel explained.
At the launching, Governor Marcos shared her “serious matter of heartbreak” for the country’s neglect to such ethnic artifacts in the past.
“Umabot na sa France, umabot na sa Germany, ninakaw ng America, ng Deutschland. Tayo, wala pa ring museum. Eh, atin ‘yan,” she said, referring to how long before such items had been gathered and exhibited in the Philippines, while some had already been on display at the Branly Museum in Paris, France.

Assist with the conservation of Phang Nga's coastal ecosystems as a hands-on member of an international team with GVI, with the aim to gain practical conservation skills and experience whilst making a sustainable impact to the region. Based in a stunning coastal province of Phang Nga, an area that encapsulates the very meaning of “dramatic”, you'll live alongside incredible islands and an abundance of natural beauty.
After completing your training on base, you will go on to complete a placement. The placement allows interns to really increase their level of responsibility on base, as you'll assist the staff team, and take more of a leading role on hikes, surveys and other activities. Interns may also get the chance to take on their own mini-project around conservation and research in the area. For anyone looking to get into a career in the conservation world, this is the ideal stepping stone - the opportunities for development in terms of conservation and leadership skills are unrivaled.
The internship encourages participants to develop their own ideas and introduce new aspects to help further their contribution to the conservation of local ecosystems. Interns will be given specific leadership responsibilities as well a weekly assignment and evaluation during their leadership training. Their assigned staff mentor will monitor their progress weekly throughout their stay at the hub.
This comprehensive internship gives you the opportunity to gain work experience in three different aspects: community (teaching), plant and animal biodiversity and animal care. You'll gain an insight into the conservation issues facing the region and the measures GVI teams are taking to in response, and, besides hands-on conservation activities, you'll become immersed in the Thai culture through various community initiatives involved in promoting environmental education and the delivering of English programs.
After a successful internship, qualifying candidates may be given the opportunity to work for GVI or selected partner organisations in Thailand, or in other countries around the world where GVI operate. Over 50% of GVI staff are recruited from our alumni database. Qualification for positions is at the sole discretion of Global Vision International.
If you are a current or prospective student, please also speak to us about gaining academic credit for completing this programme.
Please note our conservation efforts on this expedition are seasonal so projects will vary throughout the course of the year.
This internship can kick start a career in conservation, or can help provide students with the necessary practical skills and knowledge to help progress in further education.
You're also lucky enough to have the ideal base for further travel in Asia! Visit “James Bond island”, made famous by the 1974 film “The Man with the Golden Gun; discover an area known for its beauty as you come across coral reefs, turtles and many more natural wonders; develop a well rounded education on sustainable conservation, environmental conservation and community development and teach local children about the beauty of the natural world and the importance of conserving it.
"The experience I gained during my time training with GVI has allowed me to go on to work within the conservational research field. This has been a stepping stone into a career in conservation that I would not have had access to without the GVI Internship program."
What's Not Included
Life on the Internship
Your internship will involve rotations between conservation, community development and environmental awareness, giving you an ideal overview and introduction to the world of sustainable development and field work.
Projects always vary greatly depending on our projects and partners which change seasonally. You can expect to get involved in anything from environmental research and tourist education and management (Nov - March), terrestrial work such as mangrove research & planting and biodiversity surveying in nearby National Parks (May - Oct), or turtle research and conservation, beach cleans and community education classes which take place throughout the year.
We have also been working in the neighbouring province of Krabi for several years, providing 1000’s of hours of classroom teaching. Community projects can vary from environmental education with the general community, schools and the community, hotels as well as tour and dive operators, to English language teaching to National park rangers and general community.
In between the above, and at weekends, you'll of course have the chance to explore the region and get to know your team of fellow international volunteers. Chances are you'll soon become friends for life!
Field Conditions & Accommodation Upgrades
Our base in Phang Nga is small but comfortable with shared facilities, with enough space for people to relax together. If you would prefer to stay in private accommodation while on this project, this location does offer upgrades. Contact us for more information, or mention to your Country Expert who will be able to assist you.
What's Not Included
We are working in Phang Nga in order to to gain an understanding of the local ecosystem, help with current environmental protection initiatives, and conduct research contributing to future conservation efforts. Our goal is to sustain the long-term conservation of marine and terrestrial systems by using a three-tiered approach:
1. Contribute to scientific understanding through research
2. Educate and inform local people about conservation issues
3. Building the capacity and desire of local people to operate sustainably.
How this project makes a difference:
Your presence as a intern will help to protect some of the world’s most beautiful forests and beaches. By adopting a holistic conservation approach, we are also educating the community on local environmental issues. This means dealing not only with research, but also the social and economic pressures that are leading to the destruction of Southern Thailand’s beautiful forests and beaches. You have an opportunity to help protect and conserve it.
What's Not Included
Volunteering with GVI not only allows you to participate on programs assisting disadvantaged communities or endangered ecosystems but it also offers wonderful opportunities to travel in the local area in your down time or further afield, either before or after your program. Below is some information on trips and travel options in Thailand.
Optional Side Trips
Take advantage of the amazing sites and scenery the Andaman region of Thailand has to offer. There are endless opportunities to visit islands, beaches, parks and caves and many can be done on weekends. While on the ground, we are here to help so make sure to ask our field staff to assist you with planning trips.
Explore the amazing Khao Sok National Park, including the stunning Cheow Larn Lake and 740km² of rainforest and which is home to elephants, leopards, tigers, deer, monkeys, lizards, birds, and the Rafflesia - the largest flowers in the world, 90cm across with a unique aroma…of rotting flesh! Take a day trip for a quick sample of the park’s delights or stay overnight and discover even more – perhaps in one of the jungle tree houses, or even on a bungalow that floats on the lake. Trek through the jungle, kayak around Cheow Larn lake visiting spectacular limestone caves, swim in idyllic waterfalls or just relax and see what you can spot!
Khao Lak is a very popular tourist spot close by, with beautiful, seemingly endless beaches, so many dining options you’ll be spoilt for choice and hundreds of spas offering massages and treatments at reasonable rates. With a wide range of accommodation options, from luxury resorts to hostels, Khao Lak offers you the chance to spoil yourself for a few days, whether you’re on a budget or looking to splurge a little.
The Similan and Surin Island groups, both under the protection of their Marine National Park status, are home to some of the best diving and snorkelling spots in the region. You can take a day trip, stay on a live aboard boat or even stay overnight on the islands themselves.
Phuket Island, about 90mins south of Khao Lak and renowned for its colourful night life is also a great stop-off for divers and snorkelers, but if you’re not the diving type you can explore Phang Nga Bay by speed-boat or sea kayak, stopping off at James Bond Island, made famous by the 1974 film ‘The Man With the Golden Gun’ before visiting the floating Sea Gypsy village. Phuket is also very popular with surfers, playing host to annual surfing competitions, though there is a great ‘secret spot’ near Khao Lak…if you’re interested GVI staff will show you the way!
Neighbouring Krabi Province is a treasure trove for intrepid travellers; from the crystal clear Emerald Pond to the epic 1,237-step climb up to the Buddha image and stunning views at the Tiger Temple Cave to the enchanted scenery and pools of Than Bok Khoranee National Park to the shopping and late night bars of Ao Nang to the chilled out beaches of Koh Lanta Island to the parties of Phi Phi, where ‘The Beach’ was filmed - the options are truly endless!
Further Travelling Opportunities
Thailand is a country with a whole range of fantastic places that you could visit. If you have the time and budget, you could consider going to see the following; the waterfalls of the picturesque Khao Yai National Park, the mountain town of Chiang Mai, the local tribes of Nam Province, the beaches of Ko Tao and Mu Ko Chang Marine National Park, the golden kingdom of Ayuthaya, the temples and nightlife of Bangkok and many more…

I have always enjoyed MasterCard's "Priceless" teevee advertisements, which show viewers the the price tags for a handful of items (purchased, presumably, and then reveal the true value that comes from using those items: more time with one's children, traveling to new places, and so on.
The message is that MasterCard allows you to buy the things that allows you to have priceless experiences. (Yes, the ads aren't perfect: they can be somewhat schmaltzy, and they don't do a very good job of differentiating MasterCard from other payment methods.)
I am not enjoying the latest iteration of the "Priceless" campaign, the "Priceless Pep Talks" ads featuring Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning (whom, I suspect, is now required by law to be featured in at least one out of every three ads appearing during football games).
In each "Priceless Pep Talks" ad, Manning squints into the camera and says something sarcastic.
In one, for example, Manning suggests men should just concede that they'll never have six-pack abs unless they're young or professional athletes like him. In another, Manning mocks men who drive minivans, and then recommends those drivers paint his jersey number and flames on the sides of their vehicles.
There are other "Priceless Pep Talks" spots, and they're all dreck.
I can't imagine what the point of the advertising campaign might be, unless there was a contest on Madison Avenue to see which advertising agency could put Peyton Manning in the most inane commercials. If that's the case, I don't quite know who the winner is, but it certainly isn't MasterCard.
That is all.

Duquesne coach Suzie McConnell-Serio has the Dukes entering the conference tournament on a high note.
By Sam Werner Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
All season long, Duquesne's recipe for success has been to use their suffocating press defense to create offense.
Facing a resilient Butler team in a close game early in the second half Sunday, the Dukes did just that.
Duquesne overcame a sluggish start to race to a 59-43 victory against Butler Sunday at Palumbo Center, propelling it into the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament next week on a winning note.
After a Butler basket cut the Dukes' lead to 28-25 with 16:14 left in the game, Duquesne sprinted to a 16-2 run to put the game away, forcing four Butler turnovers in that stretch.
"I think our defense, we just stepped up our press defense a little bit," said senior Jocelyn Floyd, who leads all Division I players with 5.2 steals per game. "[We] just pressured them a lot more. Getting steals and fast breaks, we got the momentum."
Both teams struggled to get baskets in the first half, but the Dukes held a 26-21 lead at the break. Just before the halftime buzzer, senior guard Vanessa Abel hit a 3-pointer from the corner to give the Dukes some momentum.
Duquesne coach Suzie McConnell-Serio said she told her team to turn up the heat in the second half.
"We got passive in our press in the first half," McConnell-Serio said. "We talked about trapping, getting up on their guards a little bit more."
It also didn't hurt that the Dukes honed in their shooting touch in the final 20 minutes. After shooting 30.6 percent in the first half, they made 48.1 percent in the second.
Wumi Agunbiade recorded her 18th career double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Dukes, and Oditte Odisho came off the bench to lead all scorers with a career-high 14 points.
"It's great when you have that spark coming off the bench," McConnell-Serio said. "Sometimes you don't skip a beat."
Before the game, Floyd, Abel and fellow seniors Ahjah Hall and Carly Vendemia were honored on Duquesne's senior day. The four will graduate as the winningest class in school history, a mark that has been broken each of the past four years.
"[It's] sad to go, but it's been a great run," Floyd said. "Each year we've just gotten better. We just want to finish this year off strong."
The Dukes will turn their sights to the Atlantic 10 tournament. Entering the game against Butler, they had an outside chance at a first-round bye, but didn't get the right results in other league games. Instead, No. 5-seeded Duquesne will play No. 12 VCU at 2:30 p.m. Friday in Philadelphia with the winner advancing to face Saint Joseph's Saturday in the quarterfinals.
Even if they fall short in the conference tournament, the Dukes figure to have a strong enough résumé to warrant an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, the first in school history.
For now, though, that's not something they're worried about.
"It's just playing game by game, taking it from there," Abel said. "We're not really focused on what happens after the A-10 tournament. We really want to win the A-10 tournament."

Egypt's Higher Education Minister Ashraf el Shehy said Sunday education is a key issue for Egypt.
In statements to MENA in London, the minister added that Egypt seeks to promote cooperation with the UK in this regard.
The Egyptian government puts education at the top of its priorities and we know that any real renaissance takes place through the development of the education system, Shehy said.
Part of this development requires benefit from the experiences of others, he added.
There is an urgent need for a serious development of the technical and technological education in Egypt, the minister affirmed.
The minister revealed that the current year marks the largest number of scholarships in Egypt's history, in implementation of directives of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi in this regard.
Shehy arrived in London Sunday to attend the Education World Forum which opens today.
The three-day event, which is held once a year, sees a number education ministers from various countries to mull prospects of partnership and education across the world and debate future education policy.
Ministers will also discuss developing education strategies and international cooperation in this field.

Often needing flamboyant dressage with details ranging from costumes with the way into props, the air of the theatrical is more than just a force to be reckoned with. Having toured the US extensively together last year, Fleshgod Apocalypse and Carach Angren being their haunting theatre to a more European of audiences but will Horror outweigh Drama?
It’s yet another one of life’s pleasures that descends upon London this evening, the magnificent tour package that constitutes the metal heavyweights of Sirenia and Tyr, and the addition of starlets Unleash The Archers. A diverse palette of metal that somehow appeases everyone, it’s one of those shows you simply can’t miss.
In a world where veterans would take preference over those less experienced in the field, Accept would be headlining this power house of a heavy metal line-up this evening. It just goes to show though, Sabaton are that big now.
Featuring Cane Hill and Killswitch Engage.
Gothic metal still lives! Lacuna Coil proved that earlier this year with a career rejuvenating album release in ‘Delirium‘, and now look to the live stage once again to deliver those signature theatrics.
To say the phrase ‘what a line up’ might be a bit of an understatement here. It’s simply colossal. Four bands, three of which could probably fill out an arena on their own, perform as one package in one of London’s finest venues. We couldn’t resist, and neither could 20’000 others.
Featuring : Whitechapel, Thy Art Is Murder, Carnifex, Obey The Brave, Fallujah, Make Them Suffer and Polar!
And so it ends For Today. The Christian metalcore outfit have decided to call it a day after 11 years on the road, and play their last ever UK show.
Sweden’s prestige industrial output bring some sharp-edged ingenuity into the London live arena.
As the final breaths of summer come to a close the metaphorical demise of the year begins. The autumnal greeting of cold sees our trees dishevel, leaves fall and wind blow. Turning an amber glow the leaves serve as a reminder of the past, organically fading away to be born anew in the beginning of a new summer. Celebrating their decennium of The Great Cold Distance, Lachrymose romantics, Katatonia return to their wistful memories to deliver a set consisting of the album in its entirety along with a second set following each era of the band’s astonishing twenty five year lifespan. Spanning three hours worth of music before this mammoth undertaking however we were made privy to premiere talent in the new bloods.
The Black Metal fan, characterised by having overly long black hair, spiked arm bands, a fierce opinion or two and of course corpse paint. The Death Metal fan, no doubt some form of camo in there, the only fan to use the words “brutal” more than most and of course a horrific t shirt. Coming together these most unlikely of genres are in fact the perfect pairing. Releasing their brand new album Where Shadows Forever Reign, after five years Dark Funeral have returned. Gearing up for their extensive touring schedule of another album cycle, the Swedish warriors take to London tonight. With the help of our Brazilian amigos Krisiun at the helm we see just what happens when both Black Metal and Death Metal meet.
It’s yet another power metal spectacular that graces the urban jungle of London, this time in the larger spaces of the Shepherd’s Bush Empire. We spent our Saturday evening embracing the power traditions of Power Quest, the epic symphonies of Twilight Force and the Nordic romance of Sonata Arctica.
The undisputed kings of epic metal return to London to unleash ‘Armageddon‘, gracing the intimate environment of The Underworld Camden.
A lot of people ask us – ‘is it really worth travelling that far for such a small festival’?. We only answer ‘absolutely’. ProgPower USA has become a staple in the The Metalist’s summer festival diet, and also a indication that the festival season has officially wrapped up. 2016 boasts one of the best line-up’s yet, and we travelled to Atlanta to enjoy every moment of it.
Soilwork have always been quite a live spectacle in whatever capacity I have had the pleasure of seeing them. This time around they are playing one of London’s most intimate venues in the The Underworld Camden, and we were there to soak up that melodic death metal energy.

Curious if FX’s “Fargo” TV series can live up to the Oscar-winning movie that inspired it? The network is letting viewers watch the first seven minutes of the first episode before it premieres later this month.
The preview (above), which originally premiered on Yahoo!, begins with Billy Bob Thornton‘s ominous character driving toward the small Minnesota town where the show is set, while a life insurance salesman (“Sherlock’s” Martin Freeman) struggles to sell life insurance.
“This show is about what happens when a civilized man meets a very uncivilized man, and it was our hope that we would create a cast that was a movie cast and not a television cast,” showrunner Noah Hawley previously said while describing the series. “We’re making a 10-hour movie.”
Expect plenty of violence, kidnapping, midwestern accents and the Coen brothers’ signature sense of humor — and that’s only the first seven minutes — when “Fargo” premieres on April 17.


SpaceX's latest Starship prototype SN10 lands successfully, then explodes
After two unsuccessful tests of its last two prototypes, SpaceX’s latest Starship prototype – the SN10 had a near successful launch and landing, when it blew up.
All eyes were on the futuristic rocket that took off from Boca Chica, Cameron County in Texas. The rocket took off at around 4:30 am IST and soared into the skies with its three raptor engines performing as expected.
The rocket reached a pre-decided height of 10 kilometers while its engines were shut one by one. The rocket then started descending horizontally before positioning itself vertically again for a safe landing – 6 minutes and 20 seconds after take-off.
Shortly after the commentator declared the launch successful and the live stream was cut-off, the prototype exploded. The impact of the explosion was such that the rocket was propelled in the air again before it came crashing down. The reason remains unclear as of now but most experts believe the soft landing is encouraging.
Starship SN10 landed in one piece! https://t.co/lO4AF47MaN
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 4, 2021
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk was elated that the rocket landed in ‘one piece' and hailed the launch to be successful.
According to the timeline set by Elon Musk, the final Starship will be able to launch people to Mars by 2026 and the successive quick launches despite failures are seen as an attempt to keep up with that timeline.
In fact, the next prototype SN11 will be on launchpad soon.
Regardless of success or failure, each prototype launch helps SpaceX gather data on different aspects of Starship and every success takes the company closer to its final Starship model that will be powered by six raptor engines.
In comparison, the first prototypes had just one raptor engine and flew only 500 mt compared to the current prototype which boasts three raptor engines and can soar up to 10 km.

What You Should Know About COVID-19 Vaccines
There are numerous preconceived notions and issues for taking COVID-19 vaccines. People are anxious about their unknown side effects in the future. There are also a lot of viral articles and videos posted on any social media platforms but despite having such, there are still factors that we are still learning – its efficiency to the variants and their lasting protection to our body. Although COVID-19 vaccines were quickly developed, some steps have been considered to make sure that these are all safe and effective:
Methods of Producing Vaccines
Before COVID-19, vaccines were already rampant in the world of science. The never-ending discoveries, researches, and studies of scientists involve vaccines against varied viruses such as Influenza Vaccine and Gardasil 9. These existing products offer a lot of help to rapidly progress the development of COVID-19 vaccines.
A Conduct of Clinical Trials before Approval
As per the medical mandate, all medicines including vaccines need to undergo three phases of clinical trials. Phase I includes but is not limited to ensuring the dosage and side effects. Phase II involves but is not limited to identifying the right dosage, managing side effects, and determining its effectiveness in a larger population. Phase III covers but is not limited to developing a complete and new treatment. For the vaccines of COVID-19, the process might be quickly done but rest assured that all phases were conducted before its distribution.
Approval of Vaccines
The conduct of clinical trials needs to be evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If the results of the evaluation met the FDA’s standards and safety and were allowed for Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs), they will be quickly and properly distributed to fight COVID-19.
Production and Distribution of Vaccines
The U.S and other countries’ governments that have granted approval of the FDA for vaccines have made funds for the resources and will be able to distribute the COVID-19 vaccines.
Monitored Systems for Tracing Safety Used of Vaccines
To continuously produce the approved vaccines, authorities need to track their efficiency. This process is quite challenging but can assure the quality of the vaccines that are being injected into millions of people around the globe.

5 Symptoms of a Worn Clutch That Needs Replacement
When the clutch pedal is released, the thrust bearing is withdrawn and the diaphragm-spring load once again clamps the driven plate to the flywheel to resume the transmission of power. Some cars have a hydraulically operated clutch. Pressure on the clutch pedal inside the car activates a piston in a master cylinder, which transmits the pressure through a fluid-filled pipe to a slave cylinder. Oct 25, · What this means in practical term is that when you push down on the clutch pedal, the clutch plate itself is either not engaging or disengaging when you release the pedal. In a clutch that is at Death’s door, it could be doing both – but that car is going to be very hard to drive!
A clutch is a mechanical device that engages and disengages power transmission, especially from a drive shaft driving shaft to a driven shaft. In the simplest application, clutches connect and disconnect two rotating shafts drive shafts or line shafts. In these devices, one shaft is typically attached to an engine and other to power unit the driving member. While the other shaft the driven member provides output power for work and typically the motions involved are rotary, linear clutches are also possible.
In a torque-controlled drillfor instance, one shaft is driven by a motor, and the other drives a drill chuck. A dry clutch uses dry friction to transfer power from the input shaft to the output shaft. The majority of clutches are dry clutches. Slippage of a friction clutch where the clutch is partially engaged but the shafts are rotating at different speeds is sometimes required, such as when a motor vehicle accelerates from a standstill; however the slippage should be minimised to avoid increased wear rates.
In a pull-type clutch, pressing the pedal pulls the release bearing to disengage the clutch. In a push-type clutch, pressing the pedal pushes the release bearing to disengage the clutch.
A multi-plate clutch consists of several friction plates arranged concentrically and is sometimes used in order to reduce the diameter of the clutch or to provide different 'stages' of slippage for example in a drag racing car to control the rate at which the engine's torque is transferred to the wheels during acceleration from a standing start.
A common friction material is an organic compound resin with a copper wire facing or a ceramic material. Until the mid s asbestos was also used in clutch plates. A clutch how to avoid pre term labor can include springs which are designed to change the natural frequency of the clutch disc, in order to reduce vibration or how to get rid of goose eggs rattling from the gearbox when the engine is idling in neutral.
In automotive applications, this is often provided by a mechanism in the clutch disc centre. How to release clutch in car a wet clutchthe friction material sits in an oil bath or has flow-through oil which cools and lubricates the clutch. This can provide smoother engagement and a longer lifespan of the clutch, however wet clutches can have a lower efficiency due to some energy being transferred to the oil. Since the surfaces of a wet clutch can be slippery as with a motorcycle clutch bathed in engine oilstacking multiple clutch discs can compensate for the lower coefficient of friction and so eliminate slippage under power when fully engaged.
A centrifugal clutch automatically engages as the speed of the input shaft increases, and disengages as the input shaft speed decreases. Applications how to release clutch in car small motorcyclesmotor scooterschainsawsand some older automobiles. A cone clutch is similar to dry friction plate clutch, except the friction material is applied to the outside of a conical shaped object.
A common application for cone clutches is the synchronizer ring in a manual transmission. A dog clutch is a non-slip design of clutch which was used in non-synchronous transmissions. The single-revolution clutch was developed in the 19th century to power machinery such as shears or presses where a single pull of the operating lever or later press of a button would trip the mechanism, engaging the clutch between the power source and the machine's crankshaft for exactly one revolution before disengaging the clutch.
When the clutch is disengaged and the driven member is stationary. Early designs were typically dog clutches with a cam on the driven member used to disengage the dogs at the appropriate point. Greatly simplified single-revolution clutches were developed in the 20th century, requiring much smaller operating forces and in some variations, allowing for a fixed fraction of a revolution per operation.
In addition to their use in heavy manufacturing equipment, single-revolution clutches were applied to numerous small machines. In tabulating machinesfor example, pressing the operate key would trip a single revolution clutch to process the most recently entered number.
InFrederick G. Creed developed a single-turn spring clutch see above that was particularly well suited to the repetitive start-stop action required in teleprinters. When tripped, the spring rapidly contracts around the power shaft engaging the clutch.
At the end of one revolution, if the how to make money on online lever has been reset, it catches the end of the spring or a pawl attached to itand the angular momentum of the driven member releases the tension on the spring.
These clutches have long operating lives—many have performed tens and perhaps hundreds of millions of cycles without the need of maintenance other than occasional lubrication. Cascaded-pawl single-revolution clutches superseded wrap-spring single-revolution clutches in page printers, such as teleprintersincluding the Teletype Model 28 and its successors, using the same design principles. IBM Selectric typewriters also used them. These are typically disc-shaped assemblies mounted on the driven shaft.
Inside the hollow disc-shaped drive drum are two or three freely floating pawls arranged so that when the clutch is tripped, the pawls spring outward much like the shoes in a drum brake. When engaged, the load torque on each pawl transfers to the others to keep them engaged.
These clutches do not slip once locked up, and they engage very quickly, on the order of milliseconds. A trip projection extends out from the assembly.
If the trip lever engaged this projection, the clutch was disengaged. When the trip lever releases this projection, internal springs and friction engage the clutch. The clutch then rotates one or more turns, stopping when the trip lever again engages the trip projection. These mechanisms were found in some types of synchronous-motor-driven electric clocks.
Many different types of synchronous clock motors were used, including the pre-World War II Hammond manual-start clocks. Some types of self-starting synchronous motors always started when power was applied, but in detail, their behaviour was chaotic and they were equally likely to start rotating in the wrong direction.
Coupled to the rotor by one or possibly two stages of reduction gearing was a wrap-spring clutch-brake. The spring did not rotate. One end was fixed; the other was free. It rode freely but closely on the rotating member, part of how to prevent split ends after haircut clock's gear train.
The clutch-brake locked up when rotated backwards, but also had some spring action. The inertia of the rotor going backwards engaged the clutch and wound the spring.
As it unwound, it restarted the motor in the correct direction. Some designs had no explicit how to transition floor heights as such—but were simply compliant mechanisms.
The mechanism was lubricated and wear did not present a problem. Most cars and trucks with a manual transmission have a clutch consisting of friction disc s which is operated using the left-most pedal with the motion transferred to the clutch using hydraulics master and slave cylinders or a cable.
The clutch is only disengaged at times when the driver is pressing the clutch pedal towards the floor, therefore the default state is for the transmission to be connected to the engine. A "neutral" gear position is provided, so that the clutch pedal can be released with the vehicle remaining stationary.
In addition to standing starts, the clutch is usually required for gear changes. Although the gearbox does not stop rotating during a gear change, there is no torque transmitted through it, thus less friction between gears and their engagement dogs.
The output shaft of the gearbox is permanently connected to the final drivethen the wheels, and so both always rotate together, at a fixed speed ratio. With the clutch disengaged, the gearbox input shaft is free to change its speed as the internal ratio is changed. Any resulting difference in speed between the engine and gearbox is evened out as the clutch slips slightly during re-engagement.
The clutch is usually mounted directly to the face of the engine's flywheelas this already provides a convenient large-diameter steel disk that can act as one driving plate of the clutch. Some racing clutches use small multi-plate disk packs that are not part of the flywheel. Both clutch and flywheel are enclosed in a conical bellhousing for the gearbox. A small number of front-engine, rear-wheel drive cars such as the Alfa Romeo Alfetta, Porsche and Chevrolet Corvette C5 use a transaxle layout with the transmission located near the rear of the car; in this case the clutch is mounted with the transaxle therefore the driveshaft rotates continuously with the engine, even when the clutch is disengaged.
Some automatic transmissions use a lock-up clutch to prevent slippage of the torque converter when cruising at higher speeds. The purpose of the lock-up clutch is to improve fuel economy by minimising energy losses caused by slippage of the torque what to do in chicago 4th of july 2012. Cars use clutches in places other than the drive train.
For example, a belt-driven engine cooling fan may have a heat-activated clutch. The driving and driven members are separated by a silicone-based fluid and a valve controlled by a bimetallic spring. Other clutches—such as for an air conditioning compressor—electronically engage clutches using magnetic force to couple the driving member to the driven member. Motorcycles typically employ a wet clutch with the clutch riding in the same oil as the transmission.
These clutches are usually made up of a stack of alternating friction plates and how to release clutch in car plates. The friction plates have lugs on their outer diameters that lock them into a what is professional occupations in business services to management that is turned by the crankshaft. The steel plates have lugs on their inner diameters that lock them to the transmission input shaft.
A set of coil springs or a diaphragm spring plate force the plates together when the clutch is engaged. On motorcycles the clutch is operated by a hand lever on the left handlebar. No pressure on the lever means that the clutch plates are engaged drivingwhile pulling the lever back towards the rider disengages the clutch plates through cable or hydraulic actuation, allowing the rider to shift gears or coast.
Racing motorcycles often use slipper clutches to eliminate the effects of engine brakingwhich, being applied only to the rear wheel, can cause instability.

Mar 10, · Kick the clutch pedal in and out a few times to drift. The car will begin stabilizing as the rear wheels gain traction. Keep the drift going by preventing that from happening. Press down hard on the clutch, release it, and repeat as quickly as you can. You can tell it is working when the car continues rotating without slowing down at all. Explained is the basic function of a clutch, how to use a car clutch along with hill starts. How does a clutch work. To gain a better understanding of clutch control, you need a basic understanding of how a clutch works. A car engine, even on tick-over is constantly spinning. A clutch separates the car . To release the cable, first disconnect it at the clutch housing end. Then find the cable nipple where it sticks out between the quadrant and pawl. Pull the pedal upwards with your hand to release the pawl. If necessary, lever up the pawl with a small screwdriver.
A dual-clutch transmission DCT sometimes referred to as a twin-clutch transmission is a type of multi-speed vehicle transmission system , that uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets. The first DCT to reach production was the Easidrive automatic transmission introduced on the Hillman Minx mid-size car. This was followed by various eastern European tractors through the s using manual operation via a single clutch pedal , then the Porsche C racing car in Since the late s, DCTs have become increasingly widespread, and have supplanted hydraulic automatic transmissions in various models of cars.
The fundamental principle of a DCT is that one clutch drives a gear-set for the even-numbered gears, while the other clutch drives the odd-numbered gears. A DCT uses clutch packs as per a manual transmission , rather than the torque converter used by traditional hydraulic automatic transmissions.
Porsche began development of DCTs for racing cars in the late s,  due to the possibility of a DCT preventing a drop in boost during gear shifts on a turbocharged engine. In , Volkswagen group began production of the DQ , a 7-speed DCT using two dry-clutches arranged side-by-side instead of concentrically.
Other early high performance applications include the Nissan GT-R ,   the Ferrari California ,   the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X    and the Porsche The purpose of the torque converter is to improve the smoothness of low-speed driving, through the elimination of jolting and shuddering sometimes found in DCTs at low speed. Several s tractors from eastern European countries such as the Kirovets K derivates used manually-operated DCTs.
For example, the Fortschritt ZT has an Unterlastschaltstufe "shifting under load" function, which needs to be pre-selected by the driver and then activated by pressing the clutch halfway down. This engages the second clutch, which applies a reduction gear to the driven wheels without any interruption in the torque transmission to the wheels. A different type of dual-clutch transmission has been used in some railcars.
The two clutches are placed one on the gearbox input shaft and the other on the gearbox output shaft. To make a gear change, both clutches disengage simultaneously and a brake inside the gearbox engages. The gearchange occurs with all gears stationary, so no synchronizing mechanism is needed.
After the gear change, both clutches re-engage. There is a significant break in power transmission, so this system is unsuitable for shunting locomotives. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
