The district has advantages in terms of road and waterway transport, with over 654km of roads covered with concrete, especially with 11km of National Highway 39A connecting with National Highway 5 in Pho Noi (20km from the district), 6.5km of roads connecting Cau Gie-Ninh Binh and Hanoi-Hai Phong highways and Provincial Road 378 running along the dyke, as well as with about 11km of waterways connecting with Hanoi and Hung Yen cities. In particular, a new national highway running through the district will help Kim Dong connect with Thai Binh and Hai Duong provinces and ring roads 4, 5 of Hanoi.
|Administrative reform is a prerequisite for improving the business and investment environment|
The district also plans to invest in a number of new roads, such as a route with the starting point at the DH60 intersection running through Chinh Nghia, Song Mai and Ngoc Thanh and connecting with the Hung Yen City and a route with the starting point at the National Highway 39A running through DDK Industrial Zone and connecting with Provincial Road 378. These routes will be convenient to promote economic links with Hanoi, Hai Duong, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh and neighboring localities, creating a premise for local development of industry, trade, services and urban areas.
The district's labor force is over 68,500 people, accounting for 58 percent of total population. With a tradition of studiousness and diligence, most of the population has a high level of education and high awareness. These strengths will create a premise for the district to build a high-quality labor force, meeting recruitment needs of businesses.
Kim Dong Industrial Park in Hung Yen Province's Kim Dong District
The district is also an attractive destination for investors in the fields of trade, services, urban development and tourism. The project on the northern agricultural product wholesale market in Luong Bang Town is a particularly important one, creating a driving force for socioeconomic development of Kim Dong District in particular and Hung Yen Province in general. It will also contribute to the district's economic development in the direction of trade and services, clearly changing the appearance of Kim Dong District towards civilization and modernity.
Correct and thorough policies of the district in attracting investment and developing industry, services and trade have been creating strong development. Kim Dong District targets industrial development towards modernization by 2030, while becoming a major trading and service center for agricultural products in the north and taking the lead in high-tech agricultural production associated with tourism development.

Among the library of investment books promising no-fail strategies for riches, Benjamin Graham’s classic, The Intelligent Investor, offers no guarantees or gimmicks but overflows with the wisdom at the core of all good portfolio management.
The hallmark of Graham’s philosophy is not profit maximization but loss minimization. In this respect, The Intelligent Investor is a book for true investors, not speculators or day traders. He provides, “in a form suitable for the laymen, guidance in adoption and execution of an investment policy” (1). This policy is inherently for the longer term and requires a commitment of effort. Where the speculator follows market trends, the investor uses discipline, research, and his analytical ability to make unpopular but sound investments in bargains relative to current asset value.
Graham coaches the investor to develop a rational plan for buying stocks and bonds, and he argues that this plan must be a bulwark against emotional behavior that will always be tempting during abrupt bull and bear markets.

Jamie Hawkesworth is a British forensic science student drop-out who suddenly became a very talented photographer. As part of the renowned arts and management agency M.A.P, Jamie’s talent has taken him far enough to work as a commissioner of AnOther magazine to photograph the controversial chinese artist Ai Weiwei at his highly monitored home in Beijing.
We’ve been captivated by his distinctive approach to photography which we find quite unusual, specially coming from someone who treats fashion photography as documentary and portrait photography in an ironic and satiric way. To find out more about his work go straight to his personal site here.

The jury remains out on social media: whether it’s a positive force for debate and news dissemination or merely another platform via which maniacs can air their views.
For sporting stars, Twitter, Instagram and the like should be a vehicle via which they can engage with their fans more closely. But for some, the urge to slate match officials and governing bodies has proven too hard to resist.
Jack Nowell, the Exeter and England winger, is the latest to fall into hot water after he lamented Karl Dickinson’s ‘worst decision ever’ in a contest between the Chiefs and Leicester Tigers earlier this month.
Dickinson had sent off Exeter’s Olly Woodburn for two bookable offences after the player was perceived to deliberately knock the ball on to prevent a Tigers try; a decision which left Nowell apoplectic.
He took to Twitter to vent his fury to his 61,000 followers, writing (in a now deleted Tweet):
“I’m actually in shock, like shock shocked. What the hell is happening? That’s one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen. EVER.”
Unsurprisingly, the RFU took a dim view of Nowell’s post and have fined him £10,000, which will be donated to charity. The 30-year-old will also have to attend a referee’s training course.
He could yet be banned as well – a fate suffered by his England colleague Anthony Watson, who suffered a one-game suspension after labelling an ‘obsurd [sic] decision’ made by Ian Tempest to send off Mike Williams in a game between Bath and Wasps in October 2021.
In the wake of the Nowell incident, the RFU has reiterated that players will not be banned from using social media during the upcoming World Cup. They will, however, be issued with new guidelines on what they can and can’t post in a bid to ward off any future controversies.
Footballers Punished for Criticising Referees on Social Media
For the most part, sports stars are savvy in their use of social media – or, at least, incidents of referees and match officials being panned are few and far between.
Former Arsenal and Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna was one of the first to be sanctioned for slamming a referee. He insinuated that Lee Mason had acted as Burnley’s ‘12th man’ in a game between the Clarets and City back in 2017.
Sagna took to Instagram after the game to describe the contest, in which Mason had sent off City’s Fernandinho, as ‘10 against 12’.
The post was swiftly deleted and Sagna apologised, but not before he had breached the FA’s Rule E3: ‘Comments about match officials which imply bias, attack the officials’ integrity can be considered in breach of the rule.’ He escaped with a £40,000 fine.
A repeat offender is the mercurial PSG and Brazil star Neymar. In 2019, he was banned from three Champions League games after taking to Instagram to mock the officials – labelling them ‘a disgrace’ – in a game between the Parisians and Manchester United.
He evidently didn’t learn his lesson, as Neymar was at it again in 2022 – lambasting Daniel Siebert on Twitter over a perceived ‘lack of respect’ after booking the Brazilian for his celebrations after netting in a Champions League game against Maccabi Haifa.

We had the pleasure to conduct a field workshop on laser measuring technique Nivel System at the Technical School of Construction and Surveying in Lublin on October 18th, 2021. The students got acquainted with our measuring equipment and were given specific tasks to be performed, i.e. laser length measurements using handheld laser distance meters and measuring the height differences (classical leveling) with the use of the cross and the rotary lasers.
We are proud of our youth. There are growing to become an ambitious and a wise team of professionals. We hope that our youth will also use our Nivel System measuring solutions in their professional careers in the future.

Just in time for News Year’s Eve! As a change this year I decided to have Oysters Rockefeller in place of the usual escargots. Alas, they were impossible to find as fresh and on second thought I did not want to have to shuck them. Third choice was either mussels or scallops. NO mussels to be found. I had to settle on frozen scallops. This recipe from Closet Cooking was not only simple, but really awesome with the mustard sauce. Since I neglected to take a photo, this is the photo which accompanied the recipe.
It was perfect with the broiled asparagus AND very perfect with the leftover mustard sauce, so much so that |I had an idea for using this sauce on Eggs Benedict some time.
Let me know if you try it! It made a great and simple romantic dinner for two.
Seared Scallops in a Cajun Mustard Cream Sauce
Prep Time:5 minutes Cook Time:10 minutes
Total Time:15 minutes Servings: 2
- 1-pound sea scallops (about 1 inch thick) I used ten scallops
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 tablespoon oil
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Cajun mustard (or grainy mustard)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- Pat the scallops dry and press on the Cajun seasoning.
- Met the butter into the oil in a pan over medium-high heat, add the scallops and sear until lightly golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side, before setting aside.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the heavy cream, mustards and lemon juice, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens a bit, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste and serve the scallops in the sauce garnished with the chopped parsley.
Option: Replace the butter and oil with bacon grease or butter yet, start by cooking 4 strips bacon, use the grease to cook the scallops in and sprinkle the crumbled bacon onto the scallops just before serving!
Option: Add 1/4 cup chicken broth or seafood broth or white wine to the pan before adding the cream and deglaze the plan by scrapping all of the brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon while the broth simmers.
Option: Add 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese to the sauce!
I chose not to use any of the options this time around!!
Happy New Year!!

Antutu benchmark has posted the top chart CPU and GPU wherein the Snapdragon 820 it the ranked as No.1. Apple’s A9 processor gets the second place with a small difference in CPU score but has a significant GPU score. For CPU score: Snapdragon got 136,383, while A9 got 132,657. It’s only 4000 point difference. For GPU score: Snapdragon 820 got a very good quality 55,098 while A9 has only 39,104.
A better GPU on Snapdragon is needed for the high-resolution smartphones as it’s adopted by many flagships. On the third and fourth rank for CPU are Exynos 8890 from Samsung and Kirin 950 from Huawei. Unfortunately, Kirin 950 is powerless in GPU.
The competition of ARM mobile processor performance will continue, but interestingly A9 still has the best ARM processor, although it has been released last September. This Antutu benchmark chart didn’t include A9X, which has a much better CPU and GPU than A9. A9X is used on iPad Pro and it’s also rumored to be adopted by iPad Pro 9.7-inch, which will be introduced on Apple event on March 21.

The Philips Company was founded in 1891 by Gerard Philips and his father Frederik. Frederik, a banker based in Zaltbommel, financed the purchase and setup of a modest, empty factory building in Eindhoven, where the company started the production of carbon-filament lamps and other electro-technical products in 1892. This first factory has been adapted and is used as a museum.
In 1895, after a difficult first few years and near bankruptcy, the Philipses brought in Anton, Gerard’s younger brother by sixteen years. Though he had earned a degree in engineering, Anton started work as a sales representative; soon, however, he began to contribute many important business ideas. With Anton’s arrival, the family business began to expand rapidly, resulting in the founding of Philips Metaalgloeilampfabriek N.V. (Philips Metal Filament Lamp Factory Ltd.) in Eindhoven in 1908, followed in 1912 by the foundation of Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken N.V. (Philips Lightbulb Factories Ltd.). After Gerard and Anton Philips changed their family business by founding the Philips corporation, they laid the foundations for the later electronics multinational.
In the 1920s, the company started to manufacture other products, such as vacuum tubes. In 1939 they introduced their electric razor, the Philishave (marketed in the US using the Norelco brand name). The “Chapel” is a radio with built-in loudspeaker, which was designed during the early 1930s.
1 - Electrolytic capacitors are among the most important in an audio equipment and replacing them with high-quality capacitors from the factory will improve the sound quality
2 - Electrolytic capacitors have life of work 1000-2000h then begin to lose their qualities
3 - The use of Audio-Grade Capacitor Nichicon / Elna which are made specifically for audio equipment from high-end will make your machine in good times higher
What is audio grade capacitor?
This is capacitors specifically for audio applications. These are designed to give premium sound quality when compared to general purpose capacitors. Nichicon's MUSE series and Elna SILMIC II, ideally suited for first class audio equipment where qualitative and quantitative characteristics are required.
What you should know when you make replacement
1 Mark all cables when separate circuit boards to avoid confusion in the assembly
2 All capacitors meet on parameters of old, replace them one by one so as not to get confused!

This recipe was inspired by one of the descriptions in Under the Tuscan Sun and the fact that I never make use of the sage, in my garden.
I made a sage pesto, by adding to the food processor:
- A hearty handful of sage
- A heaping handful of spinach
- A few drizzles of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of crushed garlic
- 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast
- A sprinkle of sea salt
The sage pesto had a nice, earthy flavor. It was not too different from my basil pesto, just a slightly diverse taste.
I used broccoli as the base for this dish, to try to save some calories from all the pasta I usually eat. I sautéed about 6 stalks of chopped broccoli in extra virgin olive oil and crushed garlic, seasoned with sea salt and pepper. I also added in 3 tablespoons of Sonnet’s Cashew Cream sauce, that I made earlier in the week.
Next, I warmed up one can of red beans and one can of white beans, while adding in another teaspoon of garlic.
I poured the pesto all over the beans and mixed thoroughly. I also topped with a few sun-dried tomatoes and vegan Parma.
This made about 6 servings, enough for dinner and lunch leftovers.
This was a flavorful meal that was not too heavy. I LOVE hearty, oily pastas with tons of ingredients, but, in an effort to shave some calories here and there, using veggies as a base was a great alternative.
That sounds so good!!

Birds are part of our urban biodiversity. Barcelona is home to all kinds of birds that adapt to the different habitats that the city offers them and are the main beneficiaries of urban parks and gardens with large and leafy trees: blackbirds, robins, woodpeckers, ticks, bruels, greens. It should come as no surprise to us that forest birds share urban parks with turkeys or Turkish turtles.
Our city is located in the middle of the coastal migration route and this means that during the spring and autumn months many birds cross it.
As you walk through the garden of the Julio Muñoz Ramonet Foundation, you will be able to see photographs of some of the birds that have visited our garden.

213: Avocado Gazpacho with 214: Garlic Croutons
I made a half batch of Avocado Gazpacho.
I was very excited about this recipe, but I didn’t like it. I’m not sure if it’s something with the recipe, or if my tomatoes weren’t particularly good. I used homegrown tomatoes, which my 6 year old neighbor picked when they were just beginning to turn ripe. I let them ripen inside, but they may have been on their way downhill when I used them. I liked this okay when I tasted it immediately after making it, but I didn’t like it the next day when we actually ate it. This could have been due to the tomatoes, or perhaps I didn’t like the taste of the sherry vinegar I included.
[This post contains affiliate links. I may make a commission for purchases made through links on this post.]
I had looked forward to this recipe, so I’m disappointed that I didn’t like it. This recipe may be okay for you, but unfortunately I can’t tell you for sure that it would be good.
To go with the soup, I made Garlic Croutons from a short recipe in the Bride and Groom Cookbook . It called for a quarter loaf of French Bread, torn into pieces. Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil with 1 large clove crushed or minced garlic, and toss bread in oil to coat. Bake at 350F for 9-12 minutes, until crunchy.
I used some leftover sourdough that I’d frozen just for this purpose. I love garlic, so I really enjoyed the croutons. This was also incredibly easy to do. I foresee myself making croutons with leftover bread as often as I have it. I recommend them.

I think one of my new favorite features on the Silhouette Curio has to be the Stippling feature! Do you remember those drawings you used to do as a kid with all those little dots, meticulously placing each dot with a colored marker? Well now It’s about a bajillion times easier with the Curio!
I have a bunch of cute little tins in my command center area in my home and thought it would be cool to dress one up as an outgoing mail box. It’s the perfect place to drop letters and cards that are ready to go! It’s especially nice to have this around now that it’s almost Christmas card season! Here’s how I did it:
I picked a beautiful geometric design in the Silhouette store and opened the Stipple menu. It automatically translated my design into dots. I moved the spacing slider around until they were pretty close together and the pattern was apparent. You can even fill in objects with a Stipple Fill, but since this was already such a dot-heavy design, I decided I didn’t need it.
On the Cut menu, before you hit ‘Send to Silhouette’, you need to make sure your settings and machine are set up correctly. I chose my material as Metal Stippling Sheet, which then let me know that I only needed some of my Curio bases – as you can see below, it told me I needed both 1 bases, as well as one 2, instead of two 2’s like usual.
I stuck my metal stippling sheet to my Curio Emboss mat, and sent it through the machine! The stippling feature is much quieter than when the Curio is cutting or even embossing.
When it came out, it was beautiful dotty goodness! The Curio was efficient and quick at producing those pretty little dots!
I then applied a super cute sticker of a dog with a piece of paper in it’s mouth over the top of the stippling and then glued it to my tin box. And that was that! Such a cute place to drop outgoing mail.
I think it looks great on my chalkboard command center/welcome wall! You see this right when you walk in the front door and it’s a great drop zone.
The texture produced by the Curio is really fantastic and the stippling feature is great for all sorts of home decor and craft projects!


A woman suffered severe head injuries in a four-vehicle accident Friday morning at Farm Road 920 and Texas 199 in the southwest corner of Wise County.
Kay Lackey, 62, of Poolville was driving a van westbound on 199 about 10:40 a.m. when she attempted to turn left onto FM 920. Department of Public Safety Trooper Mitchell Collins said Lackey turned in front of and collided with a Buick Enclave traveling eastbound on 199. The Enclave was driven by Edwina Norris, 41, of North Richland Hills.
After the initial collision, the van spun into an 18-wheeler driven by William Mullally, 57, of Jacksboro, and the Enclave spun into another 18-wheeler driven by Schuyler Long, 25, of Euless. Neither truck driver was injured.
The van came to rest in the median of 199, and Lackey suffered severe head injuries. She was transported via helicopter to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth.
Norris’ Enclave ended up in the triangular median separating 199 and 920. She was taken by ground ambulance to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle.
Texas 199 was shut down for half an hour so the helicopter could land.

What is a gauge pattern?
Gauge is a measure of the number of stitches in one inch of fabric. … Once you have selected a pattern to knit, look for the designer’s given gauge. This can usually be found at the start of the pattern, near the yarn and needle requirements.
What is the importance of gauge?
The gauges are used to detect the pressure of various industrial systems and also pneumatic and hydraulic installations. They are used in various industries including waste treatment plants and oil refineries. This is to ensure that the pressure of the products is monitored and the workplace is safe for the workers.
Why it is important to use the correct size of hook every time you crochet?
Finding the right size for a crochet hook is important because it determines the gauge of your crochet. Smaller hooks make finer and tighter crochet, while larger hooks produce a bulkier, more open weave.
Why is it important the correct gauge is used?
Achieving the proper gauge can mean the difference of having a medium-sized adult sweater or a kid-sized sweater. Having the right gauge will allow you to always have the right measurements for your garments and other projects!
How do you measure crochet gauge in the round?
It refers to the height of your rounds (just like row gauge refers to the height of your rows!) To measure round gauge, simply lay your measuring tape up your swatch and count how many rounds are in 4″.
How many rows is an inch crochet?
You’ve decided to use an H/5.00 mm hook which gives you a gauge of 16 rows/stitches per 4” inches. 16 divided by 4 = 4 rows/stitches per inch.
How does needle size affect gauge?
The LARGER (THICKER) the needle, the BIGGER the stitches. The BIGGER the stitches, the FEWER stitches per inch. The THINNER the yarn, the MORE stitches per inch. The SMALLER(THINNER) the needle, the SMALLER the stitches.
What is called when you knit one row and purl the next?
To knit stockinette stitch (abbreviated St st), you alternate a knit row with a purl row. Stockinette stitch (or stocking stitch) is everywhere: scarves, socks, sweaters, blankets, hats — you name it. … The bumpy side of stockinette stitch fabric is called reverse stockinette or purl.
How do I choose a knitting gauge?
The first thing you’ll want to measure is the number of stitches. Lay your ruler or measuring tape across the center of the swatch and count the number of stitches that fit into 4 inches. This is your stitch gauge. Now place the ruler vertically across your swatch and measure the number of rows that fit into 4 inches.

A&M-Commerce Broadcasting Student Wins National Radio Award
Texas A&M University-Commerce student Taylor Mefford, a radio and television major, was recently named the first place winner of the radio portion of the Freedom of Speech Public Service Announcement Contest.
"It's important that our students work at the highest level of their ability because that makes them competitive as they start their career. For Taylor to receive this recognition competing against students from all universities across the U.S. is a testament to his elite status among his peers. It's also a nice bonus that he got a three thousand dollar scholarship," said RTV professor Tony DeMars.
The contest, held by the National Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation (NABEF) and the Broadcast Education Association (BEA), announced the winners of the 30-second radio and television PSAs addressing “What Freedom of Speech means to me,” on Sept. 17.
“A&M-Commerce has a small RTV program, but it has some great resources at its disposal, especially with radio,” Mefford said.
The contest, for college communication students, accepted entries for both radio and television work and submissions were judged on originality, technical skills and “overall impact.” The first place winner in each category received a $3,000 scholarship and will be recognized in an event held during Free Speech Week, Oct. 19-25.
The winning Freedom of Speech PSAs can be downloaded and viewed from www.nabspotcenter.org.

Allele frequency is a term used to describe the relative frequency of different alleles in a population. Understanding allele frequency is essential for population genetics, evolution, and genetic research. Determining the allele frequency can help identify the factors that contribute to genetic variation and genetic diseases.
In this article, we will discuss in detail how to calculate allele frequency, its strengths, and its weaknesses, and provide answers to frequently asked questions about this topic.
The Basics of Allele Frequency
Before getting into the details of how to calculate allele frequency, we need to understand the fundamental concepts of allele frequency. Each gene has two or more possible variations referred to as alleles. Allele frequency is defined as the relative occurrence and frequency of an allele among all the copies of the gene in a population.
Allele frequency can be calculated using the following equation:
Where p is the frequency of allele A and q is the frequency of allele a. The sum of p and q is equal to 1.
Strengths and Weaknesses of Allele Frequency Calculations
One of the major strengths of calculating allele frequency is that it can help researchers identify genetic variation within a population. This can provide valuable information about the evolution of a particular species. Moreover, it helps researchers determine the genetic causes of specific diseases, which is essential for the development of treatments or cures.
Another advantage of allele frequency calculations is that they can help identify genetic markers for different populations. This information can be used in forensic science, paternity tests, and other fields.
The primary weakness of allele frequency calculations is that they do not take into account factors like genetic drift, gene flow, and mutations. Genetic drift refers to the random changes that occur in the frequency of alleles in a population over time. Gene flow, on the other hand, refers to the migration of individuals between different populations, which can affect the allele frequency.
Mutations can also play a significant role in altering allele frequency. Mutations occur when there are changes in DNA sequences that lead to the production of new alleles. Additionally, measuring allele frequency in a small sample size of a population can lead to inaccurate results.
FAQs about Calculating Allele Frequency
1. What Is the Definition of Allele Frequency?
Allele frequency is the frequency or relative occurrence of an allele among all the copies of the gene in a population.
2. How Do You Calculate Allele Frequency?
Allele frequency can be calculated by counting the alleles from a population, using the following equation:
p + q = 1, where p is the frequency of allele A and q is the frequency of allele a
3. Why Is It Important to Calculate Allele Frequency?
Calculating allele frequency is important because it can help identify genetic markers for different populations. This information can be used in forensic science, paternity tests, and other fields. Moreover, it can help in identifying genetic causes of specific diseases, which is necessary for the development of treatments or cures.
4. What Are the Factors That Affect Allele Frequency?
Factors that affect allele frequency include genetic drift, gene flow, and mutations.
5. What Is Genetic Drift?
Genetic drift refers to the random changes that occur in the frequency of alleles in a population over time.
6. What Is Gene Flow and How Does It Affect Allele Frequency?
Gene flow refers to the migration of individuals between different populations, which can affect the allele frequency.
7. What Are Mutations?
Mutations occur when there are changes in DNA sequences that lead to the production of new alleles.
8. What Are Genetic Markers?
Genetic markers are specific DNA sequences or traits that can be used to identify individuals or populations.
9. What Are the Applications of Calculating Allele Frequency?
Applications of calculating allele frequency include population genetics, evolutionary biology, and medical research.
10. What Are the Limitations of Calculating Allele Frequency?
The limitations of calculating allele frequency include not taking into account factors such as genetic drift, gene flow, and mutations.
11. Why Do Sample Sizes Matter When Calculating Allele Frequencies?
Sample sizes matter because measuring allele frequency in a small sample size of a population can lead to inaccurate results.
12. How Can I Calculate Allele Frequency in Excel?
You can use the COUNTIF function to calculate allele frequency in Excel. For example, to count the frequency of allele A, you can use the following formula: =COUNTIF(range, “A”)/COUNT(range)
13. What Is Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle that suggests that the frequency of alleles in a population will remain constant over generations if certain assumptions about the population are met.
Calculating allele frequency is an essential aspect of population genetics, evolution, and genetic research. It enables researchers to understand genetic variation within populations and identify the genetic causes of specific diseases. While there are strengths and weaknesses to this calculation, it remains an important tool in genetic analysis. As the study of genetics continues to progress, understanding allele frequency will play a key role in future scientific discoveries.
We encourage our readers to continue exploring this topic and its applications in different fields.
In conclusion, this article has discussed the importance of calculating allele frequency and how to do so in detail. We hope that this article has been informative and comprehensive. However, it is essential to remember that there are limitations to this calculation, and it should be used in conjunction with other methods to provide a comprehensive analysis. Moreover, we suggest that readers consult with genetic specialists to ensure the accuracy of their results and analyses.

(Lancaster, PA) – Eric Schraud, Founder and CEO of GenHydro, a renewable energy project development firm in Lancaster, Pa, has been selected by The Central Penn Business Journal as one of the region’s power players for their annual Power 100 List.
What started as a hobby in his garage, experimenting with electrolysis and reactive methods to power personal vehicles, Schraud has grown GenHydro into a renewable energy project development firm, helping to accelerate the global transition to emissions-free energy.
“Building out our team and prioritizing a healthy work/life balance has allowed this incredible momentum to continue as we went from an emerging tech company to commercialization, now working on major projects with publicly traded companies,” said Schraud.
Since its incorporation in 2021, under Schraud’s leadership, GenHydro has developed a novel and highly economical green energy production technology that creates green hydrogen and clean energy from water and scrap metal without using electricity. They source waste aluminum, process it into a reactant powder (solid fuel), and use this solid fuel in modular GenHydro reactors, placed at a customer’s location, for emissions-free on-site hydrogen production and clean energy generation.
“As Eric has continued to build GenHydro into a leading green energy/hydrogen company, he has displayed both technical brilliance and very high emotional intelligence. This rare combination has allowed him to be a very effective, selfless leader and an ideal founder and CEO in this industry,” said Chris Kager Vice President of Strategy for GenHydro.

AP: Chicago teachers went on strike Monday for the first time in 25 years after their union and district officials failed to reach a contract agreement despite intense weekend negotiations that the union said were productive but still failed to adequately address issues such as job security and teacher evaluations. The two sides were not far apart on compensation, but were on other issues, including health benefits — teachers want to keep what they have now — and a new teacher evaluation system based partly on students’ standardized test scores, Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis said. “This is a difficult decision and one we hoped we could have avoided,” she said. “We must do things differently in this city if we are to provide our students with the education they so rightfully deserve.” Mayor Rahm Emanuel condemned the union’s decision, and said the negotiations could be resolved if the two sides kept talking, “given how close we are.” “This is not a strike I wanted,” Emanuel said. “It was a strike of choice … it’s unnecessary, it’s avoidable and it’s wrong. “
More than 26,000 teachers and support staff were expected to hit the picket lines early Monday, while the school district and parents carried out plans for keeping nearly 400,000 students safe and occupied while classes remain empty in the coming days in the nation’s third largest school district.

Online slot machines allow players to win large amounts of money without having to leave their home. Like land-based slot machines the only thing that happens with online capital one slots is to play electronically, although, electronically. Online slot machines are often more sophisticated than their counterparts on land in terms of video graphics, audio effects and overall game play. A lot of casinos online have software providers that provide online slots. Despite the fact that online gambling may seem intimidating to many players, due to its unfamiliar terrain and the jarring rules and regulations, there are high chances of winning real cash from online slots machines.
Before you begin your journey to the online casino, you should be well-informed about the different kinds of slot machines as well as the payout percentages each machine offers. Slot machines online can pay out a fixed amount of real money or bonus points, or a combination of both. Casinos online can alter the payouts in a variety ways. For example, they may provide random spin buttons that look like regular slots , but offer real money. Real money slot apps permit players to select various different jackpots, ranging from tiny jackpots to huge jackpots. Based on the number of spins they’ve made on specific slots players can choose between a no-cost and a guaranteed spin.
One of the benefits that online slot machines provide for players who play online is the possibility of using their bankroll wisely. The amount of cash a winning player receives will depend on the number of spins they have during the game. A player can bankroll multiple games at the same time since the maximum payout a particular slot machine will pay out is the highest amount that could be placed on it. Most online slots will change their payouts to the closest percentage of their maximum payouts so that players do not need to wait for an excessive amount of time waiting for the amount of money they kassa casino have bet to add up.
Some slot machines online offer progressive jackpots, which are bigger than the typical small, single-line jackpot sizes that are found in traditional casinos. If a player is able to win a jackpot of this magnitude will see their winnings increase by a third and then become a grand prize. Progressives are often used in online casinos in order to attract attention to games with the hope that people will be enticed to play these progressive slots more frequently in the hope of hitting the jackpot. Unfortunately, progressive jackpots also be set higher than the initial payouts, as they draw more attention to casinos online.
Certain online slot machines utilize random number generators which utilize numbers generated by an internal computer system to randomly select paying combinations. Some casinos and slot machine software providers prefer random number generators that utilize a finite number. However, some casinos and software companies permit customers to select from a variety of random number generators (often larger). This allows players to choose from a variety of outcomes and gives players more control over payouts for their slot machine games. You should select one of the finite number of random number generators that produces consistent numbers across the casinos that employ it. The use of a different generator or combination of two or more generators may result in irregular payouts and make it more difficult to win a jackpot.
The graphics that are used on the machines of today are extremely complicated. Many of the graphics appear overdone, but there are still plenty of appealing graphics and effects that can draw the attention of avid gamblers. In addition, a lot of these graphics involve very complicated mathematics that a lot of people don’t understand, which makes them seem very “geeky.” To attract more casino enthusiasts Most casinos have decided to include online casinos to their already vast collection of casinos.
Both new players as well as long-time enthusiasts of video slots are becoming increasingly popular with them. The graphics of video slots are much easier to comprehend than traditional machines. Many players who first learn to play video slots are attracted by the vibrant graphics and the sounds that they make, which allows them to “feel” and understand the game better than they would if they were to play traditional slots. Some people even find that they are able to play video slots more easily than traditional slots.
The above reasons are a good explanation of the reasons why online slots are popular, they fail to explain why Native American slots are becoming extremely popular , too. They are extremely demanding and attract younger and more experienced players. Many of the older generation grew up hearing stories of their parents earning hundreds of thousands of dollars on these machines. This made them fear that they wouldn’t have the same chance of winning as much at home if playing on the “real” slot machine. This isn’t the case, since almost all Native American casinos allow their customers to play these addictive games at no cost.

A start-up research company has created a mouse embryo from stem cells, without using an egg, sperm or womb. The company hopes to build on their ground-breaking achievement in the hopes of eventually applying it to human stem cells.
If the plan works, the human stem cells would grow into embryos that could be nurtured in a beaker. With the mouse cells, they were able to obtain a 95% similarity “in both the shape of internal structures and the gene expression patterns of different cell types,” the researchers said.
The goal is to possibly grow new body parts from the embryos for implantation in humans: “Instead of developing a different protocol for growing each cell type — for example, those of the kidney or liver — we may one day be able to create a synthetic embryo-like model and then isolate the cells we need. We won’t need to dictate to the emerging organs how they must develop. The embryo itself does this best.”

AI cannot be patent inventor UK Supreme Court rules in landmark case
Dec 20, 2023
A U.S. computer scientist on Wednesday lost his bid to register patents over inventions created by his artificial intelligence system in a landmark case in Britain about whether AI can own patent rights.
Stephen Thaler wanted to be granted two patents in the UK for inventions he says were devised by his “creativity machine” called DABUS. His attempt to register the patents was refused by the UK’s Intellectual Property Office (IPO) on the grounds that the inventor must be a human or a company, rather than a machine.
Thaler appealed to the UK’s Supreme Court, which on Wednesday unanimously rejected his appeal as under UK patent law “an inventor must be a natural person”.
Judge David Kitchin said in the court’s written ruling that the case was “not concerned with the broader question whether technical advances generated by machines acting autonomously and powered by AI should be patentable”.
Thaler’s lawyers said in a statement that the ruling “establishes that UK patent law is currently wholly unsuitable for protecting inventions generated autonomously by AI machines and as a consequence wholly inadequate in supporting any industry that relies on AI in the development of new technologies”.
A spokesperson for the IPO welcomed the decision “and the clarification it gives as to the law as it stands in relation to the patenting of creations of artificial intelligence machines”.
They added that there are “legitimate questions as to how the patent system and indeed intellectual property more broadly should handle such creations” and the government will keep this area of law under review.
Thaler earlier this year lost a similar bid in the United States, where the Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s refusal to issue patents for inventions created by his AI system.
Giles Parsons, a partner at law firm Browne Jacobson, who was not involved in the case, said the UK Supreme Court’s ruling was unsurprising. “This decision will not, at the moment, have a significant effect on the patent system,” he said. “That’s because, for the time being, AI is a tool, not an agent […] I do expect that will change in the medium term, but we can deal with that problem as it arises.”
Rajvinder Jagdev, an intellectual property partner at Powell Gilbert, said the ruling followed similar decisions by courts in Europe, Australia and the U.S. and has “given certainty that inventors must be a natural person.”
But he added: “The judgment does not preclude a person using an AI to devise an invention – in such a scenario, it would be possible to apply for a patent provided that person is identified as the inventor.”
In a separate case last month, London’s High Court ruled that artificial neural networks can attract patent protection under UK law.

How far does the acorn fall from the tree?
The day came in the hall when his grim, set face looked down at me, and my 12-year-old self looked up at him.
He gave me a choice between two unfair ultimatums. Both were his conditions and not mine, so they were no choice at all.
I made my own choice.
Saying nothing and moving nothing but my right arm, never breaking eye contact, I punched my fist through my bedroom door.
It hurt like hell; burning fire; breaking bone, and I lost a knuckle doing it. But I did my absolute damnedest not to let it show. I pulled my fist back and, as I did, felt splinters drive into me. I had never known such physical pain at that point in my young life.
Again, I did my damnedest not to let it show, not to hesitate, not to coddle the pain. Despite it all I pulled my fist back and let it fall to my side.
After that day, I still accepted punishment from him, whether I thought I deserved it or not. But the physical beatings and the thundering verbal abuse were off the table for good.
Even as I stood there I couldn’t overcome it all entirely. Pain forced beads of sweat to well up from my face. My eyes watered a bit, but I kept them focused on him. I remember feeling my warm blood cool as it dripped down my arm; feeling my hand bloat and swell into pulp and go numb.
Through all of it I never broke eye contact. I saw both his face and body cringe their expression into something I was too young to identify.
Then I said,
“That door was not your chest.”

F1600 Series Gears Up for Tripleheader at Mid-Ohio
Salem, NH - The F1600 Formula F Championship Series heads to Mid-Ohio for a tripleheader this weekend after nine exciting races that have come down to the wire with Scott Andrews leading the point standings on five wins, with Steve Bamford and Austin Mack following in the Championship standings.
Andrews has had an impressive season so far and has been able to consistently take to the podium at every stop. The Australian bred driver of the No. 94 Exclusive Autosport car had two first place finishes at VIR to help him maintain his lead for the season. Andrews started the season with three podiums at Road Atlanta, one of which being a first place finish in race two for the weekend. Watkins Glen also proved to be a good weekend for Andrews where he placed first in both races two and three.
Bamford sits in second place overall in the point standings, and is fresh off a daring win to close out the VIR weekend in June. He has been an unstoppable force in the competitive Masters Class. The No. 07 Mygale/Honda from Rice Race Prep picked up seven first place finishes over the course of three stops and nine races, giving him a solid lead in the point standings for the Masters Class
Behind Bamford in the standings is the No. 44 K-Hill driver, Mack, who has also had a great season with three podium finishes total and a win coming at Watkins Glen. Most recently at VIR Mack was able to pick up a third place finish in race three.
Along with Mack, K-Hill will have the driver of the No. 12 Mygale/Honda, Skylar Robinson at Mid-Ohio; Robinson had a strong performance at VIR with top ten finishes in races one and two and laps in the lead.
Fellow teammate to Andrews, Thomas McGregor will be trying to break into the top three for the overall point standings this weekend as he sits in fourth overall. The driver of the No. 93 car was able to stand on the podium after race one at VIR where he had a third place finish.
Fifth in the point standings is Team Pelfrey driver Andrew Hobbs, who finished third in race two at VIR. He will be joined at Mid-Ohio by teammates Ben Auriemma, Jordan Cane, and Rob Megennis. Last season this weekend marked a turning point for Pelfrey where the team swept the weekend, propelling them to the 2014 Championship.
Art Foster has been behind Bamford in the Masters Class for the entire season with multiple second place finishes in the Masters Class.
Kyle Kirkwood will be returning to the scene at Mid-Ohio after his two week hiatus. Kirkwood will be hoping to regain the form that saw him power to win the season-opening race at Road Atlanta.
F2000 driver David Grant will also being running in the F1600 series this weekend. Grant holds the track record for the F1600 series and also did well at Mid-Ohio during the 2013 season where he had back to back second place finishes for the weekend.
The fourth weekend for the F1600 Formula F Championship Series will run July 3-5 with twilight testing starting Thursday at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.

HVAC systems are expensive! They cost thousands of dollars, which makes it hard for homeowners to afford them. Many people don’t have enough money saved up to pay for their new HVAC system in one lump sum, so they have to put off installing one until they can save up enough cash.
By then, however, there may not be any more time left in the season for them to enjoy using it—or even worse, it could mean that they’re still suffering through cold nights without a repaired heating system.
At Tennyson AC & Refrigeration, we understand how important heating and cooling systems are for keeping your family warm and safe during cold times of the year. That’s why we offer financing options so that customers can get the best heating system possible while still sticking within their budget.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), a well-known coenzyme involved in electron transport chain for generation of adenosine triphosphate, has emerged as an important controller regulating various biological signaling pathways. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is the rate-limiting enzyme for NAD biosynthesis in mammals. NAMPT may also act in a nonenzymatic manner, presumably mediated by unknown receptor(s). Rapidly accumulating data in the past decade show that NAMPT and NAMPT-controlled NAD metabolism regulate fundamental biological functions in endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and endothelial progenitor cells. The NAD-consuming proteins, including sirtuins, poly-ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs), and CD38, may contribute to the regulatory effects of NAMPT-NAD axis in these cells and vascular repair. This review discusses the current data regarding NAMPT and NAMPT-controlled NAD metabolism in vascular repair and the clinical potential translational application of NAMPT-related products in treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.

Andy Warhol x Kidrobot Brillo Box Mini Series Available Online Now!
For the past two years we have grown our relationship with the Andy Warhol foundation to expand the love and creation of art with vinyl. Today, Kidrobot released the Andy Warhol Brillo Box Mini Series as another addition to our Andy Warhol collection. Here to say a little something else is our friend Chris Holt aka The Toy Viking.
Kidrobot has upped the awesome level on the traditional Brillo packaging nearly as much as Andy Warhol did. He may have silk screened them and made them huge objects of pop art, but even he never thought to fill them with something more than scrubbing pads. That’s exactly what’s happened with this brand new mini series, as each one contains either a plush or vinyl representation of Andy’s famous work. Sold blind boxed style, what you get will be a mystery but we promise we wouldn’t dare surprise you with cleaning products. That would just be wrong. Hilarious, but wrong.
Available now at www.kidrobot.com, they’re the perfect gift for the art enthusiast on you list.

Cleaning your garden tools is an important part of maintaining a healthy garden and prolonging the life of your tools. Because we work in the garden and get dirt over our tools in the process, we can take it for granted that it's okay for tools to stay dirty. However, cleaning garden tools is important for several reasons:
Preventing the spread of plant diseases:
If you don't clean your garden tools properly, you can inadvertently spread plant diseases from one plant to another. This is especially important if you've been working with plants that are known to carry diseases.
Prolonging the life of your garden tools:
Regular cleaning and maintenance can help to extend the life of your garden tools. Dirt and debris can accumulate on your tools and cause them to rust or corrode over time. This can weaken the metal and make the tools less effective or even unusable.
Keeping garden tools in good working condition:
When you clean your garden tools, you can inspect them for any damage or wear and tear. This will allow you to address any issues early on, before they become bigger problems. You can also oil moving parts to ensure they continue to work smoothly.
Promoting good hygiene:
Gardening can be a messy activity, and your tools can become covered in dirt, mud, and other debris. Regular cleaning can help to keep your tools hygienic and prevent the spread of bacteria or other harmful microorganisms.
Fortunately, cleaning tools is as simple as cleaning any other appliance.
How to clean your garden tools
Remove any debris or dirt from the tools using a brush or a cloth.
Wipe the metal parts of the tools with a clean, dry cloth to remove any moisture and prevent rust.
For tools that are heavily soiled or have stubborn dirt buildup, you can soak them in warm soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.
Use a wire brush or steel wool to remove any rust or corrosion from the metal parts of the tools.
Sharpen the blades of your cutting tools, such as pruning shears or hedge clippers, with a sharpening stone or file. Blades can introduce bacteria into the open cut so its important to clean these after each use.
Apply a light coat of oil to the metal parts of the tools to protect them from rust and corrosion.
Machine oil works well. to keep joint lubricated.
Store your tools in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Garden pots should be disinfected in boiling water or disinfectant.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your garden tools remain in good condition for years to come.

A Corsair CX500 watt should be enough, I'd go for the CX600 just for the eatra watts, though.
If you've already used the 330 watt PSU, you mave have already done damage to the rig if you are having problems, you won't really know for sure until you acquire a better PSU.
You shouldn't have more than 200 watts excess power on the 12v rail past the maximum, it could affect the capacitors. So if your total 12v rail for all hardware (ram, hdd's video card, network card, sound card external ports etc) is about 400 watts then that would calculate to about a 500 watt PSU. The only reason I'd go for the 600 watt PSU is for any excessive peaks or spikes that may occur and that there is a fair amount of excess available.http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-x51/pd

Hong Kong passed a new immigration law that includes powers to prevent people from entering or leaving the city, raising fears of mainland China-style “exit bans” at the international commercial center.
The legislation passed through a legislature now devoid of opposition, as Beijing has cracked down on dissent and sought to make the semi-autonomous city look more like the authoritarian continent after huge and often violent democratic protests.
Activists, lawyers and some business figures have sounded the alarm over the bill’s provisions, including one that allows the city’s immigration chief to bar people from boarding planes to and from the city. No court order or appeal is required. The city’s bar association (HKBA) said the bill’s wording gave “seemingly unlimited power” to the immigration director.
Labor activists and legal critics said the legislature had ignored concerns about the law’s broad wording and feared that exit bans could now be used in Hong Kong. “When they have this power, absolute power, you don’t know who they will use it with,” said a lawyer, Chow Hang-tung, of the Hong Kong Pro-Democratic Alliance.
The Hong Kong government said the immigration bill was necessary to address a backlog of non-refoulement claims and to screen migrants traveling illegally before leaving for the city. The security office said the bill would only apply to flights to Hong Kong.
However, the wording of the bill does not limit the powers of the government to those arriving in the territory or immigrants, and legal experts say it could also be used against people trying to leave Hong Kong.
“Exit bans” are often used in mainland China against activists who defy authorities and have also hurt business figures. An example is Richard O’Halloran, an Irish national who has been prevented from leaving Shanghai for two years due to a legal dispute involving the Chinese owner of the Dublin-based company he works for.
Under Beijing’s leadership, the Hong Kong government has grown more authoritarian since the 2019 protests. Faith in official assurances that the city is not becoming like the mainland has been shaken by the recent crackdown.
Beijing imposed a comprehensive national security law in Hong Kong last year, arguing that it was necessary to return to stability and would not affect freedoms. But its broad wording and subsequent application have criminalized much of the dissent and radically transformed a once politically pluralistic city. Many of Hong Kong’s prominent pro-democracy figures have been arrested, detained or fled abroad.
The city’s previously noisy legislature has been acquitted of opponents of democracy, who resigned en masse late last year after three of their colleagues were disqualified for their political views. Since then, the government has accelerated a series of laws with limited scrutiny and dissent in the legislature.
Wednesday’s immigration bill received 39 votes in favor and two against. It was passed shortly after lawmakers passed a budget in record time, with just one vote against.
Beijing has also announced a new plan – dubbed “the patriots rule Hong Kong” – to vet anyone running for office and reduce the number of directly elected seats in the legislature to a small minority.
Critics of the immigration bill say it will facilitate the detention and deportation of refugees. Hong Kong approves only about 1% of refugee claims, one of the lowest rates in the world, and there is a long delay. Refugees are unable to work while their applications are being processed and live in often miserable conditions.
