Warrant issued for witness in Ventura murder trial
A warrant was issued for a woman expected to appear as a witness in the retrial of a Ventura man accused of murder, according to Ventura County Superior Court records.
The onetime girlfriend of defendant Michael Bresnak failed to appear in court Thursday as the prosecution was calling witnesses to testify in the case against him, records show.
Bresnak, 53, of Ventura, is accused of killing his mother’s on-again-off-again boyfriend, Jeffrey Korber, on March 21, 2011. Korber’s body was found wrapped in black plastic and duct tape inside a freezer at a Ventura storage facility in late June 2013.
In March 2016, a mistrial was declared after a jury deadlocked 11-1 in favor of convicting Bresnak.
The girlfriend is one of dozens of witnesses expected to testify in the murder retrial, which is slated to last six weeks.
When the retrial began Monday, Senior Deputy District Attorney Anne Spillner said in her opening statements that recorded phone conversations between Bresnak and his mother, Mary Francesca Hannan, show the pair tried to keep the body of 58-year-old Korber hidden from authorities.
Bresnak was in custody on unrelated charges at the time the conversations were recorded at Ventura County jail, where inmate phone calls are taped.
A grand jury indicted Hannan, 69, in February 2016, for her alleged involvement. She faces three felony charges, including being an accessory after the fact, but has pleaded not guilty to the offenses.
The prosecutor also said the jury would hear from Bresnak’s then-girlfriend. Spillner alleged that Bresnak told the woman about the killing.
Defense attorney David Lehr did not deny that Bresnak was there when Korber died. Lehr alleged that Korber became violent with Bresnak’s mother when she broke off the relationship that night in March 2011. Hannan called her son for help and when he arrived, Lehr said, Korber assaulted him.
The assault led to a fight in which Bresnak got Korber into a chokehold for 15 to 20 seconds, Lehr said. Bresnak let go of Korber, left the room and when he returned, he found Korber dead, Lehr said.
Lehr said Bresnak did not call police afterward because he was facing a substantial sentence for unrelated crimes if he were caught. So instead of notifying authorities, he purchased a freezer and put Korber’s body in it, Lehr said.
As the retrial progressed after the warrant, jurors heard some of the jail conversations and were also provided transcripts of the recordings. The playing of that audio continued Friday.
Sonia Sanchez, an investigator with the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office, testified on Friday about the recordings. She said she was one of a few investigators in the agency to go through nearly 600 recorded phone calls.
- Retrial gets underway in Ventura frozen-body murder case
- Jury selection starts in retrial of Ventura man accused of killing mother’s boyfriend
One of the phone calls placed at 2:36 p.m. on July 2, 2011, between Bresnak and Hannan was played for jurors. Hannan tells Bresnak that his girlfriend told her “some crazy story about Jeff.”
“Well, it’s something that you told her that really upset her, that’s been eating at her,” Hannan says in the conversation.
Hannan grows upset in the recording, and Bresnak tells his mother he’ll call the girlfriend later.
Another recording was played for jurors of a conversation between Hannan and Bresnak that took place at 8:26 p.m. that same day. Bresnak asks his mother if everything is all right.
“No, I am so mad at you,” Hannan says in the recording. Bresnak asks why and Hannan responds, “’cause you’ve got one big mouth.”
In the rest of the recording, Bresnak’s mother assures him that she “took care of it,” and he shouldn’t worry.
Sanchez testified that the phone conversations heard in court were not the full conversations but portions of them.
In cross-examination, Lehr asked Sanchez about the hundreds of phone calls she and other investigators listened to. He asked Sanchez about the quality of the recordings and if in any of them, portions of the audio “chopped off.”
“There were some that were complete but there were some that were not,” Sanchez testified.
Lehr also asked her about the process for a jail inmate to place a call.
Sanchez testified that she knew it generally included the inmate inputting the booking number they are assigned upon being taken to jail and a PIN number.
Lehr asked Sanchez if she was aware Bresnak had used another inmate’s information when placing a call, to which she said she was not.

SILOAM SPRINGS -- Arkansas Department of Transportation officials are gathering ideas for converting U.S. 412 into an interstate highway, and they'll spend the winter screening them before coming back in the spring with some preliminary recommendations and proposed scenarios.
"To gather all these ideas in one big pot, if you will, and then figure out this is what we're going to do or these are the two or three options we're going to offer up in that spring meeting, it's a big moment," said Dave Parker, Department of Transportation spokesman. "The spring meeting is going to be the big one where we actually see some plans and designs, all the possibilities. That's where it's gonna get real interesting."
Parker said it's still early in the process.
"Anything like this is going to take years and years and years to accomplish, but you gotta start somewhere," Parker said. "The fact that it's designated as a corridor of priority means it's going to happen. It's just going to take a while."
Parker said the department still wants input from the public and stakeholders.
"Our universe of alternatives is what we're gathering now, and it could come from a group, a citizen, an elected official. Anyone really," Parker said. "It may be a combination of ideas that we look at."
The department, in addition to building the highway, will also look at things like congestion management, intelligent transportation systems, freight and multimodal alternatives.
Tim Conklin, executive director at the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission, said the planning process being used is relatively new.
"That's exciting to see, how this impacts both states, the communities in both states, and the decisions and considerations that must be made to plan something like this," Conklin said. "This is at the very early planning stage, and all the options are open. That future interstate designation requires this level of work to see what it would take to make that happen."
Studies done in the early 2000s about how to move traffic through and around Siloam Springs should come in handy, he said.
The elephant in the room is how to pay for the project. There are currently no funds tied to the project.
Highway Commissioner Philip Taldo said he understands the benefits of making U.S. 412 an interstate highway but there are a lot of projects the state needs to do, including $10 billion to $15 billion worth of interstate projects like finishing I-49 to from Alma to Texarkana, building the proposed Interstate 69 across the southern part of the state and Interstate 57 in northeast Arkansas.
"As time goes on maybe it will gain some financial help. That's what it really gets down to," Taldo said. "So, I think it's good to have this planning session, and what we'll do, I'm sure, is we'll put it on the shelf, and if the Arkansas congressional delegation and Oklahoma's delegation get together in Washington and earmark a billion dollars for it, we'll be out here tomorrow turning dirt."
The U.S. 412 study area covers about 190 miles from Interstate 35 in Oklahoma to Interstate 49 in Arkansas.
Connecting Northwest Arkansas and north-central Oklahoma with an interstate highway would encourage economic development along the corridor and expand opportunities for employment in the region, according to officials in both states.
The current study is focused on complying with legislation passed by Congress to convert U.S. 412 to an interstate highway, addressing safety, improving mobility, and enhancing system linkage by connecting rural and urban communities, national airports and inland ports and freight supply chains.
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation and the Arkansas Department of Transportation are studying the project in coordination with the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority and Federal Highway Administration.
Most of the 170 miles of the highway in Oklahoma are already built to interstate standards, with four-lane divided highway and controlled access. Of the 20 miles in Arkansas, the only portion built to interstate standards is the completed section of the U.S. 412 Springdale Northern Bypass -- designated Arkansas 612 -- between I-49 and Arkansas 112. Work on the segment between Arkansas 112 and U.S. 412 in Tontitown is expected to begin soon.
The idea of making the route part of the interstate system surfaced in 2021 when the Indian Nations Council of Governments in Tulsa passed a resolution seeking support for the change from Oklahoma and Arkansas transportation and elected officials.
Congress in November 2021 included the high-priority, future interstate designation in its infrastructure bill.
U.S. 412 intersects with I-35 about 80 miles west of Tulsa. I-35 runs from Laredo, Texas, north through San Antonio, Dallas, Oklahoma City and Wichita, Kan., to Interstate 70 in Salina, Kan. It continues north to Duluth, Minn.
An interstate highway would help major retail and industrial employers in the region, including Walmart in Northwest Arkansas and numerous energy and aerospace companies in northeast Oklahoma, according to Indian Nations Council officials.
U.S. 412 also directly serves the major inland ports of the Tulsa Port of Catoosa and Oakley's Port 33 on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System and provides, or will provide, access to Tulsa International and Northwest Arkansas National airports.

The city of Galt is still waiting for the final ruling from a judge on whether a local marijuana dispensary will have to close.
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Shelleyanne Chang http://www.lodinews.com/news/article_48deb4f0-0322-5100-8ca4-9ac723f9bb37.html" target="_blank">issued a proposed ruling on July 28 that would grant the city a temporary restraining order against the Galt Wellness Center.
The center had five days to protest the ruling. The judge was expected to finalize the ruling late last week or early this week but the city and dispensary are still waiting, said Steve Rudolph, Galt's city attorney.
"Sometimes they get backlogged, and it doesn't come up to the top of their desk, and there is no time limit on when they can sign it," Rudolph said.
If the temporary restraining order is finalized, it would require the pot dispensary to close while the court process proceeds, which could take longer than a year.


In a new article by Navigant Research, the global smart street lamp market will reach $ 610 million in value by 2017 and grow to $ 6.9 billion in 2026. Market share is expected to increase from 2% in 2017 to 20% in 2026.
Smart Street Lighting in Smart Cities information concludes that LED lighting has now become a standard alternative to traditional street lighting in most cities in the world and that intelligent control is beginning to become more widespread and gradually deployed with LED lighting.
Many cities around the world are likely to replace their existing street lights with new, more efficient lighting over the longer term, not only to achieve energy efficiency standards, but also to economically viable. LED lighting is clearly the smartest choice, but the new Navigant article says that intelligent controls currently make up only 2% of the street lamp installation base in 2017 and is not being fully utilized.
It is introduced that, this situation may change and the installed base of smart street lamps is expected to increase from the current 6.3 million to an astonishing 73 million in 2026.
"As LEDs become a street lighting upgrade, the next frontier in smart street lighting networks is the rapid deployment of control technology that translates into an innovation platform for smart cities," said Ryan Citron, an analyst with Navigant Research. "Sensors and Other technologies are being added to the smart street lighting network to provide a host of new city services including gunfire detection, air quality monitoring, EV charging, traffic management and smart parking. "
Obviously, there are many drivers behind the current smart street lamp economy. LED lighting is widely accepted due to the significant cost reduction and improved lighting quality. The LED can now provide the necessary yellow light for the street light. A year ago, Cree introduced the new RSW LED street lighting system, the first of a new generation of lighting that not only improves energy efficiency but also provides the warmth temperatures most needed for street lighting.
At the time, Norbert Hiller, Cree Lighting's Executive Vice President, said: "Cree is committed to providing a better lighting experience by continuing to develop the true potential of LED technology, and her RSW series ensures that residents no longer have to face the glare of street lights at night, saving The energy of the city, while reducing the residents of the glare of street lighting complaints. "
The Navigant article explains that installing a smart control system while deploying new LED lighting is the cheapest way to explain why smart controls are still lagging behind. Smart street lights may be an important tool for cities to adapt to future energy efficiency requirements, but there are still barriers. Navigant Research underscores these concerns: "Mitigating people concern about surveillance and privacy intrusion, the heritage ownership patterns of ownership of street lights, the complexity of application projects, and the need to increase capital expenditures in some jurisdictions are all areas of the smart streetlight market challenge."
Navigant predicts that Europe will have the largest base of smart street lighting installations by 2026, followed by Asia Pacific and North America.

X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) is a disorder that causes kidney, hearing, and eye problems. XLAS is caused by changes in the COL4A5 gene. People who are affected by XLAS usually present with symptoms of kidney disease and hearing loss in late childhood or teens. The symptoms of kidney disease progresses from blood and protein in the urine to end-stage renal disease in the 30s and 40s. Changes in the tissues of the eye usually begin to appear in the 20s and 30s, however, these changes do not cause loss of vision. Intellect is not usually impacted. People within the same family can be affected in different ways.
Males with XLAS typically have symptoms that start earlier and are more severe than symtoms in carrier females. Female carriers typically have hematuria, though some may develop more severe kidney disease and other symptoms of the disorder.
Treatment is focused on managing the individual's symptoms; often, kidney transplant will be required, especially for males.
As humans we have about 23,000 genes. These genes are like tiny instruction manuals that influence our health, growth and development. We inherit half of our genes from our biological mum and the other half from our biological dad. These genes are lined up on structures called chromosomes. Most of us have 23 pairs of chromosomes. The first 22 pairs are called autosomes and for the most part - these are the same among men and women. The 23rd pair determine our sex - two X chromosomes for a female and one X and one Y chromosome for males.
Alport syndrome, X-linked (COL4A5-related) is an X-linked condition. X-linked conditions occur when there is a genetic variation on the X-chromosome. For these conditions, the sex of the parent who passes on the gene variation influences the risk for the children.
If the father is affected, all his daughters will have a variation on one of their X-chromosomes and be healthy carriers. Sons can only inherit these x-linked conditions from their mother and therefore, in this situation, will not be affected by the disease.
If the mother is a healthy carrier of an X-linked variation and has a son, there is a 50% chance that they could inherit this variant and be affected by the disease. If they have a daughter, there is a 50% chance that they will be a healthy carrier (just like her mum).
Another way of looking at this is that there is a 25% chance of having an affected son and a 75% chance that the child will not be affected by the disease.
Carrier testing is like a checkup for your genes. It tests to see if you carry a gene variation that could cause a serious genetic disease in your child. Eugene offers an inclusive genetic carrier screening panel that includes Alport syndrome, X-linked (COL4A5-related), but there's a total 301 conditions that can be tested.
Eugene's carrier test is a clinical grade test that can be done from the comfort of your own home — it's just a saliva test. You're also paired with a genetic counsellor who provides mindful support and guidance every step of the way.Learn more about carrier screening
The biggest benefit of screening for Alport syndrome, X-linked (COL4A5-related) is that it can help future parents understand their reproductive risk so they can be ready and empowered to make more informed decisions. If neither partner are carriers, it provides reassurance and peace of mind that the risk of having a child with a genetic disease is low.

Researchers on the Icahn College of Drugs at Mount Sinai have recognized an allergy pathway that, when blocked, unleashes antitumor immunity in mouse fashions of non-small cell lung most cancers (NSCLC).
And in an early parallel examine in people, combining immunotherapy with dupilumab—an Interleukin-4 (IL-4) receptor-blocking antibody extensively used for treating allergic reactions and bronchial asthma—boosted sufferers’ immune techniques, with one out of the six experiencing vital tumor discount.
The findings are described in a paper, titled “An IL-4 signaling axis in bone marrow drives pro-tumorigenic myelopoiesis,” within the December 6 challenge of Nature .
“Immunotherapy utilizing checkpoint blockade has revolutionized remedy for non-small cell lung cancerthe commonest type of lung most cancers, however presently solely a couple of third of sufferers reply to it alone, and in most sufferers, the profit is short-term,” says senior examine creator Miriam Merad, MD, Ph.D., Director of the Marc and Jennifer Lipschultz Precision Immunology Institute and Chair of the Division of Immunology and Immunotherapy on the Icahn College of Drugs at Mount Sinai.
“An enormous focus of our program TARGET is to make use of single cell expertise and artificial intelligence to determine molecular immune applications that may dampen tumor immune response to checkpoint blockade.”
Also called a PD1 inhibitor, checkpoint blockade is a sort of most cancers immunotherapy that may unleash the cancer-killing exercise of T cells.
“Utilizing single cell applied sciences, we found that the immune cells infiltrating lung cancers, in addition to different cancers we studied, exhibited traits of a ‘kind 2’ immune responsewhich is often related to allergic situations like eczema and bronchial asthma,” says first examine creator Nelson LaMarche, Ph.D., a postdoctoral analysis fellow within the lab of Dr. Merad.
“These outcomes led us to discover whether or not we might repurpose a medicine sometimes used for allergic situations to ‘rescue’ or improve tumor response to checkpoint blockade,” says Thomas Marron, MD, Ph.D., Director of the Early Section Trial Unit at Mount Sinai’s Tisch Most cancers Heart, and co-senior creator of the examine.
“Strikingly, we discovered that IL-4 blockade enhanced lung most cancers response to checkpoint blockade in mice and in six lung most cancers sufferers with treatment-resistant illness. In reality, one affected person whose lung most cancers was rising regardless of checkpoint blockade had practically all their most cancers disappear after receiving simply three doses of the allergy treatment, and his most cancers stays managed in the present day, over 17 months later.”
The researchers are inspired by the preliminary outcomes however emphasize the necessity for bigger medical trials to validate the drug’s efficacy in treating NSCLC.
Past the medical trial findings reported within the present Nature paper, the investigators have now expanded the medical trial, including dupilumab to checkpoint blockade for a bigger group of lung most cancers sufferers, and Dr. Marron lately obtained a grant from the Most cancers Analysis Institute to review the results in early-stage lung most cancers as effectively.
By these trials, they’re trying to find biomarkers that may predict which cancer sufferers would possibly profit from dupilumab remedy and which can not.
“In our relentless pursuit of progress, the Most cancers Analysis Institute (CRI) proudly helps the visionary group on the Icahn College of Drugs at Mount Sinai. Their findings validate our dedication to funding analysis throughout the complete discovery continuum, from the lab to medical implementation, pushed by cutting-edge expertise and information,” says Jill O’Donnell-Tormey, Ph.D., CEO and director of scientific affairs at CRI.
“We’re desirous to witness our assist delivering new hope by uncovering pathways to boost checkpoint blockade responses. We champion this discovery and take pleasure in being a part of its journey from lab to clinic, reinforcing our dedication to reworking lives.”

Union rejects 'flawed' teacher training plan
The Queensland Teachers Union (QTU) says it will not support an initiative being considered by the State Government to fast-track teacher training.
The training group, Teach For Australia, has confirmed it is in early talks with Education Queensland.
Under its program, outstanding graduates from any field take the six-week course and are then placed in disadvantaged schools.
The graduates are also mentored by other teachers and a specialist trainer while continuing to study teaching part-time for two years.
QTU president Steve Ryan says the union is against the plan because it does not provide enough training.
"It's a problem in that students deserve far better in terms of teacher training and quality, and that's why the whole proposal from Teach For Australia has some very flawed aspects to it," he said.
Mr Ryan says it is the result of a Federal Government push.
"The Queensland Government is being driven on this by the Federal Government, and certainly we've had discussions with government at both levels," he said.
"Our view is that until some of the issues associated with the lack of training are addressed, then we won't have anything to do with it."
But Queensland Education Minister Geoff Wilson says no final decision has been made for the program aimed to entice professionals to teaching.
Mr Wilson says there is a shortage of teachers in maths and science.
"Now there will be professionals that didn't train as teachers who later decide they want to come in and be a teacher - they have a passion for teaching," he said.
"So this is another way of getting those people who have a passion for teaching coming into the teaching work force."

There have always been music critics, since the oldest of times up until now. Perhaps they were always called critics, but they have always been around, and now they make a good living from criticizing others work and then letting the masses know if it is worth listening to or not. I will be outlining and discussing about some prominent music a critic who has in time past been the best at what they do. Although this list may be different from another person’s perspective, like I always say, it is all by matters of choice. But still, there are some facts that can never be over emphasized. Below are the best music critics of all time. Both in time past and in the present.
Claude Debussy: alongside with Maurice Ravel, Claude Debussy who is a French composer was one of the most prominent persons who was known for his impressionist music, which he himself disliked using the term or when it is being applied to his composition. In 1903, he was made the Chevalier of the Legion of Honours in France his native town, and was among the most influential composers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Patrick Stump: he is known professionally as Patrick Vaughn Stump, an American singer and songwriter, a musician who also is record producer, an actor and also a music critic. He is best known for his lead vocalist role, he is a guitarist, a pianist, and also the composer of fall out Boy and Band from Wilmette Illinois. He embarked on a solo career as a side project during the fall out boy’s hiatus. Stump has been credited for being a soulful vocalist suitable for R&B, etc.
Robert Alexander Schumann: he was a German composer and a very influential music critic. He was formerly a student of law, who left the study of law with the intention of pursuing his career as a virtuoso pianist, after being assured by his teacher Friedrich Wieck that he could become the best pianist ever in the whole of Europe. Unfortunately, an injury cut short his dream and brought it to a halt. He then focused on his musical composition and he was known as one of the greatest composer of the Romantic era.
Robert Christgau: apart from being the self-acclaimed “Dean of American Rock Critic”, Robert is also an American essayist and a musical journalist. His terse capsule publications in 1969 t0 2013 in his consumer guild column is also one of his area of strength. He spent about 37 years as a musical editor for the Village voice and that was the time during which he was able to create the famous Pazz & Jop polls that holds annually.
Cesar Cui: a Russian composer and a very significant critic of the French and Lithuanian descent, Cesar was an army officer and a teacher specialized in fortification. His life has a particular significance of music and he is known as a member of The Five, a small group of Russian composers led by Mily Balakirev.

A new report from Juniper Research finds that in-app advertising spend across all mobile devices will reach USD7.1 billion by 2015, up from USD2.4 billion in 2012.
The increasing spend on in-app ads will be driven by greater use of rich media in ads allied to greater app usage. This growth, from one of the key mobile advertising segments, will help to triple spend on mobile advertising by 2017.
The report found that the more engaged the user is with the advertising material, the more likely they are to click on it and with brands experimenting with using apps like Shazam to increase the interactivity of their ads, engagement with mobile advertising will rise.
Innovative brands are using rich media ads not only to draw consumers in with highly appealing experiences, but also to adapt adverts to meet their business needs. This could mean adding a map of nearby stores to an ad or even a button which dials a sales line so the user can discuss their needs.
Consumers are spending ever more time using apps on their smartphones and tablets and it is crucial to ensure that marketing material is adapted for mobile. However, while some brands have been willing to experiment with mobile advertising, there are many more that have yet to even develop a suitable mobile website. Juniper says these brands risk missing a key opportunity to reach consumers; critical when you consider that mobile has higher response rates than those seen elsewhere.
According to report author Charlotte Miller: “Mobile advertising gives marketers the chance to reach consumers on a more personal level than any other type of advertising. Creating immersive and entertaining experiences to attract the attention of the consumer is essential for marketers wanting to take advantage of the massive increase in app usage.”

Effects of CuO Content on the Wetting Behavior and Mechanical Properties of a Ag–CuO Braze for Ceramic Joining
Abstract:A silver-based joining technique referred to as reactive air brazing has been recently developed for joining high-temperature structural ceramic components of the type used in gas turbines, combustion engines, heat exchangers, and burners. It was found that additions of copper oxide to silver exhibit a tremendous effect on both the wettability and joint strength characteristics of the subsequent braze relative to polycrystalline alumina substrates. The effect is particularly significant at low copper oxide content, with substantial improvements in wetting observed in the 1–8 mol% range. The corresponding strength of the brazed polycrystalline alumina joints appears to be maximized at a copper oxide content of 8 mol%, with a maximum room temperature flexural strength approaching that of monolithic alumina. While further increases in oxide content lead to improved wetting on polycrystalline alumina, the effect on joint strength is deleterious. It appears that the formation of a continuous brittle copper-based oxide layer along the interface between the braze and alumina faying surface is responsible for the poor mechanical behavior observed in joints fabricated with higher copper oxide content brazes.

Tackling infectious disease, understanding radicalisation, improving productivity, siting new airport capacity, getting people to save for retirement - nearly all the issues facing the UK now and in the near future demand the urgent attention of those trained to study human processes. In short, we need sharp social science now more than ever.
The Business of People looks at the backdrop to the UK elections taking place in May 2015 to argue that we need to invest in science and innovation - not just for the sake of `UK plc' and prospects for growth and economic recovery, but to inform debate and policymaking on migration, housing, devolution of power within the UK, and the UK's position in Europe.
The report sets out the need for new economic and social knowledge and illustrates the many ways in which social scientists are contributing to changing practice and deepening knowledge. It outlines the size and structure of UK social science, its contribution to GDP, how social science graduates are essential to the work of firms, government and the third sector.
The report ends with a set of recommendations for the next few years - urgent reading for the next government - on research funding, social science capacity and the use of expert advice by government.
An open access electronic version of the report is downloadable from http://campaignforsocialscience.org.uk/businessofpeople/
The Campaign for Social Science was launched in 2011 to advocate social science to the UK Government and to the public, at a time of significant change in the higher education system. It campaigns for the restoration of the post of Government Chief Social Science Advisor and the retention of large-scale longitudinal research programmes. It also promotes social science in the media and on the web and organises road shows and other events to emphasise the value of social science. As of January 2015, the Campaign was supported by 80 universities, learned societies, charities and publishers. See http://campaignforsocialscience.org.uk/ for more information.

The differential cross-section for an electron Raman scattering process in a semiconductor quantum wire in the presence of an external magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of confinement regarding phonon-assisted transitions, is calculated. We assume single parabolic conduction band and present a description of the phonon modes of cylindrical structures embedded in another material using the Fröhlich phonon interaction. To illustrate the theory we use a GaAs/Al0.35Ga0.75As system. The emission spectra are discussed for different scattering configurations and the selection rules for the processes are also studied. The magnetic field distribution is considered constant with value B0inside of the wire, and zero outside. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

IAF proposes to get transport aircraft from private industry
In a bid to promote indigenous aerospace sector in the country, the Indian Air Force has proposed to get transport aircraft produced by private industry for replacing its fleet of 56 Avro aircraft.delhi Updated: Sep 01, 2011 20:19 IST
In a bid to promote indigenous aerospace sector in the country, the Indian Air Force has proposed to get transport aircraft produced by private industry for replacing its fleet of 56 Avro aircraft.
"We have proposed to the Defence Ministry that we buy certain amount (of aircraft) from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) directly and the rest can be produced here in terms of license production," Air Chief Marshal NAK Browne, told reporters here.
The IAF Chief was addressing a gathering on the launch of brochure for the forthcoming 6th seminar on 'Energising Aerospace in India'.
The IAF fleet of Avro aircraft was inducted from the 1960s and are used for transporting men and material. The aircraft can carry loads of upto 7-8 tonnes.
Pointing out that the Defence Ministry has a "very positive take" on the proposal, the IAF chief said, "Once the private industry has the technology and know-how of the whole system, then it (aircraft) will not be confined to the IAF only and it can be given to the private sector also."
Browne expressed hope that the proposal would be cleared by the Minsitry and said it "will help the aerospace industry evolve in the country in a big way."
He said the hands of Defence Public Sector Undertakings were full at the moment with several projects in their kitty.
"We have told the Defence Ministry how to go about it... Otherwise it will go to the Defence PSUs who already have their hands full, " he said

Thought for the Week
There is a chamber of the mind prepared for me.
When I am ready, willing to surrender. When I am quiet, I may enter there To find a place of stillness, a place already occupied
By the light of the welcoming Presence.
From ‘Practising the Presence’ by Kenneth Bird
When we read the words ‘practising the Presence of God’ we often overlook the fact that practising has two meanings – preparation and (as in practising medicine) performance. Kenneth Bird’s poem ‘Practising the Presence’ illustrates the inward task of preparation but to George Fox preparation and performance were linked: performance had to be preceded by insight gained through practice. Such insights came from ‘that of God’, the life-giving Spirit that runs through all creation and into which we are able to ‘tune.’
To his followers Fox gave the message with which we are so familiar: ‘First, be patterns and examples [practice]… then walk cheerfully over the world (answering) that of God in everyone [performance]’.
Trying to live aware of the Presence within is, for many people, their ultimate goal but as Thomas Kelly wrote: ‘George Fox and his followers threw themselves into it with all the passion of a new and glorious discovery and with all the energy of their devoted lives’.
It was not only the Quakers who tried to live in the Presence. Christians try to pray continuously using the Jesus Prayer; Buddhists walk murmuring ‘Om Mane Padme Hum’, which is an invocation to the Goddess of compassion, but, as William James wrote in The Varieties of Religious Experience, it was the Quakers who were best at practising the Presence. They went into silence waiting on the Spirit. If an individual then felt led into taking action, he or she referred the call to other Friends who met in the Spirit – thus ensuring that the call was not one of the ego.
Once, when talking of this to an experienced Friend, I jokingly said that we were used to being told to ‘answer’ that of God in those we met and, since we were not often asked a question, it had just become a saying. He responded that in our encounters our response need not be verbal, it may be a case when just a smile or a light touch may be appropriate. As to whether he knew of any way that might help Friends to stay prepared to respond, his unexpected reply used the analogy of a ship’s figurehead. Although not a working part of the vessel, it was an integral part of it. The figurehead could not be seen from the deck by the crew, who might well forget that it was there. Wherever the ship went, the figurehead led the way. He tried to imagine that the Presence was his figurehead and that it led the way into his every encounter and influenced the way he behaved. ‘Useful,’ he laughed, ‘when I go to complain about something’.
Quakers believe that the Presence (that of God) is within us and we therefore have no need of a mediator. This belief was the cornerstone of the Quaker faith and directed our practice. Despite the challenges we face today it remains at the core of the Society. True Quaker action is the outcome of inward guidance.

LINCOLN, NEB. – Nebraska State Senator Suzanne Geist has received the endorsement of the Nebraska Farm Bureau’s Political Action Committee (NEFB-PAC) in her bid for re-election to serve the citizens of Legislative District 25. The NEFB-PAC endorsement is based on candidate’s positions on agriculture and rural issues and recommendations from district evaluation committees.
“Sen. Geist’s legislative priorities of lessening government intervention on businesses and fostering a business-friendly climate across the state match up well with Nebraska Farm Bureau members’ core policy beliefs,” said Mark McHargue of Central City, chairman of NEFB-PAC and first vice president of Nebraska Farm Bureau.
According to McHargue, Sen. Geist’s common sense and conservative values have served the constituents of her district and the state of Nebraska well during her time in the Legislature.
“Her business-friendly beliefs and support for providing property tax relief for all Nebraskans are welcomed by our members. We are happy to count Sen. Geist among those receiving the NEFB-PAC endorsement,” said McHargue.
The Nebraska Farm Bureau is a grassroots, state-wide organization dedicated to supporting farm and ranch families and working for the benefit of all Nebraskans through a wide variety of educational, service, and advocacy efforts. More than 58,000 families across Nebraska are Farm Bureau members, working together to achieve rural and urban prosperity as agriculture is a key fuel to Nebraska’s economy.

Who Was Leonardo Da Vinci? (Who Was...?)by Roberta Edwards
Synopses & Reviews
It seems entirely fitting that Maurice Sendak was born on the same day that Mickey Mouse first made his cartoon debut--June 10, 1928. Sendak was crazy about cartoons and comic books, and at twelve, after seeing Disney's Fantasia, he decided that he was going to become an illustrator. His love of childrens books began early: often sick and confined to bed, little Maurice read and read and read. Though many of his own stories were light and funny, the most important ones--Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen, Outside Over There--dealt with anger, jealousy, abandonment, content that had never before been the subject of picture books. As well as covering career highlights, this easy to read, illustrated biography also describes the personal life of this genius.
Who Was Maurice Sendak is perfect for kids wild about one of the most influential children's book artists of the twentieth century!
You can always recognize a painting by Kahlo because she is in nearly all--with her black braided hair and colorful Mexican outfits. A brave woman who was an invalid most of her life, she transformed herself into a living work of art. As famous for her self-portraits and haunting imagery as she was for her marriage to another famous artist, Diego Rivera, this strong and courageous painter was inspired by the ancient culture and history of her beloved homeland, Mexico. Her paintings continue to inform and inspire popular culture around the world.
As young boys, Orville and Wilbur Wright loved all things mechanical. As young men, they gained invaluable skills essential for their success by working with printing presses, bicycles, motors, and any sort of machinery they could get their hands on. As adults, the brothers worked together to invent, build, and fly the worlds first successful airplane. This is the fascinating story of the two inventors and aviation pioneers who never lost sight of their dream: to fly, and to soar higher!

Yesterday, we talked about HP's plans for slates and other devices running the newly acquired Palm webOS platform. What we didn't know is that, allegedly, HP has gone ahead and canned the Windows 7-powered slate Steve Ballmer demonstrated at CES in January. So says TechCrunch, quoting a "source who's been briefed on the matter."
TechCrunch says HP may have gone so far as to rule out the use of Intel hardware altogether for its slate devices—simply because "it's too power hungry." (Naturally, the lack of an Intel processor pretty much rules out any full-featured edition of Windows.)
Now that HP has webOS in its grasp, redesigning the slate's internals around some sort of ARM microprocessor core seems like a given. According to Wikipedia, Palm's Pre—the flagship webOS device—has a system-on-a-chip with an ARM Cortex A8 microprocessor core and PowerVR SGX integrated graphics. Coincidentally, the Apple A4 chip that powers the iPad also happens to have a Cortex A8 and PowerVR SGX GPU. Apple claims up to 10 hours of battery life for the device, which might not be all that difficult for HP to match using a similar form factor and similar internals.
Considering HP remains the world's top PC vendor, dropping Windows 7 from its slate device could hurt Microsoft's chances in that market—especially since some other companies, including Asus, are cooking up tablets based on Google's Android platform. With Windows marginalized, hardware makers might have less of an incentive to opt for Intel's Atom chips instead of ARM-derived SoCs, as well.

Divock Origi’s move to AC Milan is all but officially confirmed, with Paolo Maldini noting that talks between the Belgian international and the Italian giants ‘seems to proceed really well’.
The Rossoneri legend’s comments were relayed on Twitter by reliable transfer news journalist, Fabrizio Romano, with the striker having been long linked with a switch to Serie A.

Having contributed so much to our recent fortunes under Jurgen Klopp, there can be no complaints about the 27-year-old’s decision to part ways with the club at the end of the season in search of regular minutes.
From frustrating Everton in extra-time to registering crucial goals in the Champions League knockout stages, the former Lille hitman has been utterly invaluable when called upon.
It should certainly raise questions around how we propose to replace his contributions from the bench, with Taki Minamino potentially signposting his availability for the role in our 2-1 win over Southampton in mid-May.

Two men who pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted murder during a Duluth robbery in December have been sentenced to more than a decade in prison.
Thirty-year-old Brandon Tyson, of Duluth, and Robert Neft, 32, of Saginaw had both pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted murder. On Monday, a judge sentenced each to 12 1/2 years in prison.
According to business owner Colin Mackin, the men walked into the ILF Smartphone Clinic on London Road on Dec. 23 and told him to get on the ground. Mackin told Eyewitness News that after a struggle, he followed them outside where one of the men shot him in the chest.
Mackin said he forgives the men, and has moved on. "The thing about being bitter and holding grudges is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It just doesn't really accomplish anything.”
According to a the criminal complaint, Neft told police Tyson was the one to pull the trigger.
"My intention was never to have anyone get hurt," Neft said at Monday's hearing. "I'm deeply sorry for this and I hope he can find it to forgive me at some point in time."
Tyson said, "I apologize for the situation. I never meant for it to go this way."
The men will each get 112 days credit for time already served.

Now if you request your own invite you might have to wait a month!
I have talked about Pinterest before. You can go read that post HERE. Make sure you are following me!
If you are not a member and would like an invite send me your email and one will be on the way!
I get regular emails about what is being repinned and I think it must be the cold weather and people staying inside but my Nails Board is probably my most repinned board and there are only a few dozen pins on it.
I decided I wanted to try and duplicate one of the nail looks.
That is my left hand. odd how the camera inverts the picture. This was my pinspiration::
I didn't add the little drip drops. Should have. I was going them based off memory and my nails are kinda short right now. But I like how they came out.
I did use a bobby pin to smear the paint down. Beware you have to have the base paint SUPER dry. like the day before dry would be ideal. And then you have to be ready to sit for a while because the paint needs to be pretty thick for you to smudge it and thick paint doesn't dry fast.
Would love to see what you try out!

Über dieses Produkt
- KurzbeschreibungWhile no thematic volumes of papers exist, to my knowledge, on the traditions of the other three Vedas, the traditions of the Atharvaveda do seem to be a favored topic. A volume of Historical and Critical Studies in the Atharvaveda was published in 1981 by Suryakant BALI (Delhi: Nag Publishers), presenting papers from a seminar that took place at Delhi University in 1980. More recently, Abhijit GHOSH has brought out &256;tharvan. á, a collection of essays on the Atharvaveda with special reference to its Paippal&257;da tradition (Kolkata: Sanskrit Book Depot, 2002), mainly comprising papers presented at a seminar that took place at Jadavpur University in 2001. Another volume, in commemoration of the Oriya Sanskritist K.C. Acharya, was published by Acharya&8217;s pupil Prafulla K. MISHRA in 2003: New Dimensions in the Atharvaveda (Delhi: Pratibha Prakashan).<br>The clear difference between those volumes and the present one lies in the direct connection with primary material, in manuscript form, that is maintained in almost all papers collected here: that primary material, which is quite rich, has to a large extent not been made known yet or studied at all. Several of the most pertinent questions concerning the history of the Atharvavedic, and specifically the Paippal&257;da tradition, moreover, remain unsolved even after publication of three volumes dedicated to this field of study. Bringing out yet another thematic volume dealing with the Atharvaveda and its Paippal&257;da- ´S&257;kh&257;, one that focuses specifically on the unpublished material and on the historical problems surrounding the Paippal&257;da tradition, does not, therefore, seem to require any further justification.

U2 – Songs of Innocence
Last month more than 500 million iTunes customers saw U2’s latest release Songs of Innocence automatically appear in their iTunes libraries without consent; the result of a deal with Apple in which U2 were paid by the company and the album was “given away for free”. This was the digital equivalent of Bono showing up at your door unannounced, pushing signed press shots of himself through your letterbox then ringing the bell repeatedly to ask if you’d like to shake his hand.
Distribution aside, this release is the latest in a string of U2 records that err on the side of blandness and is potentially their most manufactured, market-researched project to date. The DNA of the album is mostly made up of pacey, tension-building verses that swell and burst into choruses that shoot for anthemic but fall short due to being too eager to tick the U2 chorus box – too vacuous to be rousing.
The merits of the album are generally what you might expect from U2; the production is high and The Edge provides some satisfying hooks. Most of the songs, though, are so forgettable that they instantly dissolve from memory even after multiple listens, the exception being Sleep Like a Baby Tonight – led by rippling synths, the song unfurls gradually in a languorous haze and is allowed space to develop naturally. The choice of Lykke Li as a guest vocalist on The Troubles is possibly a lunge at engaging with a more contemporary audience, however her part in the track doesn’t compare to any of her own material.
The majority of the tracks feature incredibly vague lyrics: the logic presumably being that by leaving things open-ended they can reach a broader audience than ever before. The lyrics in Volcano are especially inane and come off like something from a school rock opera devised by a deranged music teacher (listen to it and picture Jack Black surrounded by faux-hawked 12-year-olds, making devil horns while crooning “you are rock and roll, you and I are rock and roll!” and “volcano, something in you wants to blow”)
Cedarwood Road is one of the few tracks where it feels like Bono is singing about something real; he laments “It was a warzone in my teens, I’m still standing on that street”, making clear reference to the conflict in Northern Ireland where the band grew up. This theme tenuously peppers the album but has already been extensively covered in the band’s repertoire, including their much earlier releases, which sadly they seem set to never equal.
Songs of Innocence was released on 9th September 2014, for further information or to order the album visit here.

Transport and automotive sectors
The transport and automotive sectors have a rich history of innovation, often through challenging times. With research and development (R&D), UK manufacturing, supply chain and environmental issues constantly on the horizon, as well as the uncertainties of Brexit, the future presents even more challenges for these sectors.
Automotive innovations, such as driverless cars and electric vehicles, are gaining increasing prominence, whilst connectivity, software and electronics are the order of the day. Supported by increased UK government investment in R&D, the automotive sector faces an exciting future.
The transport sector supports all industries and is well-known for its legislative complexity and bureaucratic nature, which present their own set of challenges. The constant need to minimise time and cost delays, combined with prominent media coverage of transport issues, leaves the sector open to constant scrutiny.
According to the Government’s ‘Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2017’, senior managers in the transport sector are less likely than average to view cyber security as a high priority. The report highlights that this stance usually results in less action being taken around cyber security. Senior management teams may not be aware that this leaves their organisation in a more vulnerable position with regard to cyber security.
