Machines that produce electric current by rotating a coil
of wire in a magnetic field
Wire coil is wrapped around an iron core and placed
between the poles of a permanent magnet.
Coil is rotated by an outside source of mechanical energy
Examples: Steam, wind, water
As the coil turns in the magnetic field, electric current flows
through the wire
When the coil turns so that the ends move past opposite ends of
The current reverses direction
The current changes direction twice with each revolution
A generator that is used in a car is known as an alternator
Electricity in the home comes from a power plant
with huge generators
When the coil is fixed and the magnet rotates, the
current is the same as if the coil rotates and the
magnet is fixed.

Direct and Alternating Currents
Compare and contrast current in batteries and
Compare: Both devices move electrons through the wire
Contrast: Batteries have DC. Generators have AC.
DC- Direct Current- Flows in only one direction.
AC- Alternating current- reverses the direction of
current flow regularly.
In N America, generators produce alternating
current at a frequency of 60 cycles per second, or
A 60-Hz alternating current changes direction 120
times per second
To make electric energy safe for your home you must:
Use a transformer- increases or decreases voltage
Transformers are made up of 2 coils (primary and
scondary_ wrapped around an iron core.
Alternating current in a primary coil creates a
changing magnetic field around the iron core, which
induces an alternating current in the secondary coil
Step – up transformer increases voltage. The
secondary coil has more turns than the primary coil
Step-down transformer decreases voltage. The
secondary coil has fewer turns than the primary
Power carried in power lines as high as 750,000
volts is reduced by step-down transformers to
household current (AC) of 120V

Mandatory face coverings slowed transmission in Melbourne’s second wave. They can work in Sydney too
Nearly 50 Covid-19 cases have now been reported across greater Sydney outside the northern beaches; a third of the 146 community transmission cases reported in New South Wales this month. Most, but not all, have been linked to northern beaches cases or venues. It is the “but not all” that really matters here, even more than the number of cases. If you can’t link all cases back to a known case, or at least a venue where an exposure event is known to have occurred, it’s a warning sign that you have unidentified cases out there in the community.

The origins of the internet
The origins of the internet are rooted in the USA of the 1950s. The Cold War was at its height and huge tensions existed between North America and the Soviet Union. Both superpowers were in possession of deadly nuclear weapons, and people lived in fear of long-range surprise attacks.
At this time, computers were large, expensive machines exclusively used by military scientists and university staff.
What is the Internet?
This question may seem easy to answer to the young generations, who have grown under its influence, but defining it isn’t really as easy. Internet is also known as the World Wide Web (www) is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use a protocol called the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to link to billions of devices all around the world. This carries a vast range of information, from the top-secret military and research files to the most trending and viral video of the week.
The first use of a computer network
In 1965, Lawrence Roberts made two separate computers in different places ‘talk’ to each other for the first time. This experimental link used a telephone line with an acoustically coupled modem, and transferred digital data using packets.
When the first packet-switching network was developed, Leonard Kleinrock was the first person to use it to send a message. He used a computer at UCLA to send a message to a computer at Stanford. Kleinrock tried to type ‘login’ but the system crashed after the letters ‘L’ and ‘O’ had appeared on the Stanford monitor.
The ARPANET was born.
Father of the Internet: Tim Berners-Lee
Tim Berners-Lee was the man, who led the development of the World Wide Web, the defining of HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol), HTML (hypertext markup language) used to create web pages, and URLs (Universal Resource Locators). The development of WWW, HTTP, HTML and URLs took place between 1989 and 1991. Tim Berners-Lee was born in London and he graduated in Physics from Oxford University in 1976. Currently, Tim Berners-Lee is the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium. The group that sets technical standards for the web.
After being out for 10 years from high school. He began co-designing and co-developing the protocols and structure of what became the internet.

Rapid antigen coronavirus tests are just as accurate as laboratory tests when used every three days, a new study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) finds.
Both test types caught 98 percent of COVID-19 cases, the researchers found through regularly testing college students and staffers at the University of Illinois.
Antigen tests detect proteins found on the surface of the virus, rather than genetic material, which is what laboratory, or polymerase chain reaction (PCR), tests look for.
PCR tests have traditionally been considered more accurate at identifying cases when a patient is further along in their disease progression.
However, swabs need to be sent to a laboratory and take two to three tests for results to return where as rapid antigen take just 15 minutes to return.
When test frequency goes down to once a week, researchers found antigen tests catch only 80 percent of cases.
The study suggests that antigen tests may be invaluable in schools, workplaces, and other settings during future COVID-19 outbreaks.
Antigen tests are cheaper and produce results quickly – making them perfect for screening programs. Pictured: A woman gets swabbed for an antigen test in Lisbon, Portugal
When used frequently, antigen tests are just as effective as PCR tests, the NIH study found
If people need to get COVID-19 test, PCR tests are the gold standard.
These tests are highly accurate because they look for specific genetic material matching the coronavirus in a sample from someone’s mucus or saliva.
However, PCR tests are expensive and may be time consuming.
In the early months of the pandemic, some Americans who got PCR tests had to wait over a week for their results – and even now, wait times may be two days or more.
During that wait, the coronavirus can continue spreading undetected.
As a result, many public health experts promote antigen tests – rapid tests that look for proteins in the surface of the coronavirus.
Antigen tests are cheap, easy to administer, and can be performed in a doctor’s office, at school, or even at home – and results may be delivered in under 15 minutes.
Antigen tests come with a downside, though – they are not as accurate as PCR tests.
These tests have a lower sensitivity, meaning that those who get tested with antigen tests are more likely to be false negatives – receiving a negative result even though they’re actually infected.
However, past modeling studies have shown that, when antigen tests are used frequently, that repeated use will catch the majority of Covid cases in a community.
The NIH researchers conducted this study, with results published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, at the University of Illinois, which was already using frequent testing to identify cases on campus.
When a student or staff member tested positive this past spring, they became eligible for the NIH study.
Those living in close contact with a person who tested positive – for example, the roommate of a student who got Covid – were also eligible.
In total, 43 students and staffers swabbed themselves for 14 days in a row during the course of their Covid infections.
Antigen tests are more accurate near the start of a patient’s Covid infection – when they are most likely to give the virus to someone else
Researchers on-site at the University of Illinois ran both PCR and antigen tests on the samples.
They also sent samples to a lab at Johns Hopkins that did additional analysis, estimating the onset and duration of Covid infectiousness in each participant.
The researchers found that both the PCR and antigen tests were most accurate when patients were at their peak infectiousness or most likely to give the coronavirus to someone else.
As infectiousness faded, the antigen test became less accurate.
This test was less likely to return positive results later in a patient’s disease progression, while the PCR test still returned positive results every time.
Experts say that getting a positive result when a patient is most infectious is actually more important than catching their case later – since this earlier result is more likely to stop the patient from infecting others.
The NIH researchers used their results to estimate how accurate PCR and antigen tests would be when they’re used regularly.
At shorter intervals – every two or three days – both tests have 98 percent sensitivity, the researchers found. That means both tests will catch 98 percent of all Covid cases in a population.
At longer intervals, the PCR test remains highly accurate – at 98 percent sensitivity – while the antigen test becomes less accurate. At one week intervals, the antigen test sensitivity was only 80 percent.
Antigen tests are most likely to catch cases when used frequently. Pictured: A patient gets swabbed in Portimao, Portugal
This study confirms that antigen tests are extremely useful for regular Covid screening.
‘Rapid antigen testing at home, two to three times per week, is a powerful and convenient way for individuals to screen for COVID-19 infection,’ said Dr Bruce Tromberg, director of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), in a statement.
‘With schools and businesses reopening, an individual’s risk of infection can change from day to day. Serial antigen testing can help people manage this risk and quickly take action to prevent spread of the virus.’
In fact, some universities and businesses are already using antigen tests to screen for Covid and prevent outbreaks.
The American Rescue Plan has provided funding for more K-12 schools to set up similar testing programs in the fall.
These programs will be key in preventing outbreaks as Delta and other variants continue to spread.
‘Silent transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from individuals with no symptoms contributes significantly to the spread of the virus,’ said Dr William Heetderks, also from NIBIB and a lead author on the study.
‘Faster, cheaper and broader testing with antigen tests can be a big help in the kind of large-scale screening scenarios that can find these silent transmitters.’

By Raymond Dingana A hat trick from Ibrahim Nsoyuri and one goal from the penalty spot by Cheson Loibinyo were just enough to punish Gazelle FA 4-1. Foncha Street's first two goals came in the first halve of the match counting for the 13 day of play of the Elite 2 Championship at the Bamenda University field. Foncha Street FC At The Bamenda University Field The win for Foncha Street which is third in a row means the team's hopes of staying in the league 2 Championship are still in tact thereby waving a good bye to relegation. For Gazelle, losing in Bamenda was not what they expected as their hopes of securing a league one ticket partly depended on a favourable outing in Bamenda. Gazelle FA At The Bamenda University Field A win in Bamenda would have placed Gazelle on a comfortable first position in group A currently in the hands of Lausanne FA with 26points. A win for Gazelle would have taken them to a 27 point lead. As it stands, Gazelle FA still have hopes of playing in the s

Last Week’s Hot Topic on Multiple Sclerosis
Last week’s hot topic on Multiple Sclerosis was about an Individual with PPMS Sharing His Experience of Undergoing Stem Cell Therapy written by Alisa Woods.
The article focused on Geoff Flynn, 42, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) two and a half years ago. As unsettling as that diagnosis was, more troubling — both then and now — were the five long years of struggle it took for him to get a proper evaluation as to the cause of his neurological symptoms.
Thanks to Geoff Flynn, we now have an inside window to how it is to undergo stem cell therapy.


Airbus shows what could be the future of aircraft design
The Airbus plane Maveric has been secretly developed. Design reduces fuel consumption by 20 percent, according to the manufacturer.
With a design where the transition between wing and body merges, you can get a larger cargo space than in a conventional model with separate fuselage and wings. The concept is called blended wing body design, BWB, and is in terms of form between conventional aircraft and a flying wing. “The Flight of the Future,” Airbus calls it.
The concept plan has a length of two meters and a wingspan of 3.2 meters, giving an area of approximately 2.25 square meters. According to Airbus, the design on a real scale has the potential for 20 percent lower fuel consumption than conventional aircraft.
Airbus has shown larger BWB planes
Airbus has also shown renderings of what a larger BWB plane could look like. Due to the shape of the passenger seats, the passenger seats are far from the windows – and the question is whether it will be claustrophobic? One solution might be screens at the seats that show what it looks like outside the plane.
Maveric has secretly developed what can be compared to a startup company within Airbus. The name stands for “Model aircraft for validation and experimentation of robust, innovative Controls”. The team test flew its scaled-down version in 2019 in France.
Watch the movie clip here:
– Although there is no specific timetable for getting a real plan, this technical demonstrator can be crucial when it comes to changing commercial aircraft architecture. The aviation industry can have a sustainable future, says Jean-Brice Dumont at EVP Engineering on Airbus to New Atlas.
Futuristic design with history
It is not only Airbus that believes in the design. For example, Boeing developed the unmanned BWB concept X48B for NASA, which flew in 2007.
The design looks futuristic but has a long history. Prototypes for a flying wing were developed by the Germans during World War II and revived with stealth bombers such as the B-2 Spirit. But the basic shape is also reminiscent of classic 1950s delta wing models, such as the British aircraft carrier Avro Vulcan.

WOMEN CONSTITUTE around one portion of the worldwide populace, however, they are set at different disadvantageous situations because of sex distinction and inclination. They have been the casualties of brutality and abuse by the male overwhelmed society everywhere throughout the world. Our own is a custom bound society where women have been socially, monetarily, truly, mentally and explicitly abused from days of yore, once in a while for the sake of religion, now and then on the appearance of compositions in the sacred texts and some of the time by the social approvals. The idea of equity among males and females was practically obscure to us before the institution of the Constitution of India. Obviously, the introduction of the Constitution, which is the incomparable tradition that must be adhered to, looks to verify to its residents including women society, justice – social, financial and political, freedom of thought, articulation, conviction, confidence and love, balance of status and opportunity, and advance clique guaranteeing respect of the person.
The object of this paper is to feature the component of savagery and wrongdoing against women and the reaction of each section of the criminal justice framework in the nation. For the comfort of conversation the savagery against women might be delegated follows:
(1) Female foeticide
The all-out populace of the nation expanded by 24.7 percent somewhere in the range of 1981 and 1991. Then again, the level of the female which was 48.3 percent in 1981 declined to 48.1 percent in 1991 because of a fall in the sex proportion from 934 to 927 for every 1000 guys during a similar period. “This decreasing sex proportion bears smooth declaration of brutality against women even in the wellbeing of the mother’s belly. The child is considered as a security of the mature age of guardians, and the fixation for a child is a basic and social burden of Indian culture. The probability of diagnosing hereditary deformities started to explore risk natal sex assurance. With the emotional progression of innovation, the sex assurance of the hatchling is done at a mass scale not for a finding sex-connected hereditary issue of the baby, yet for the premature birth of a particular female embryo. The sex assurance centers have mushroomed in the previous two decades in enormous towns and urban communities of India. Just in 1985, around 40,000 female hatchlings were specifically ąborted in Bombay. An investigation of 8000 instances of premature birth in a center demonstrated that 7999 of them included a female baby.
(2) Torture and badgering
Women in India are for the most part limited to their jobs as a little girl, housewife, and mother, which can be viably played inside the four corners of the home. Shockingly the women are undependable inside the four dividers of their homes. The housewives are exposed to physical and mental torment regardless of financial status; religion, position, and ideology. Maybe family struggle, stress, social standards, and sexual disparity add to spouse battering. Spouse misuse is likewise observed as a reaffirmation of the male mental self-portrait as an attacker which has been supported and disguised during youth. The relevant inquiry for thought is whether a lady in a circumstance of abusive behavior at home gets justice which is touchy to her sex.
(3) Cohabitation and assault
Sex with any lady against her will or without her legitimate agrees on sums to the assault which is an offense culpable with the most extreme sentence of life detainment. Be that as it may, sex with any young lady underneath sixteen years old adds up to assault independent of her assent. Any individual having sex with any lady by tricky methods can be rebuffed with detainment for up to ten years. By method for law changes in 1983, arrangements have been made in IPC by which the, (I) cop, (ii) local official, (iii) restorative official, (iv) director of prison, (v) administrator of remand home, submitting sex not adding up to assault with any lady kept in his care, will be rebuffed with detainment up to five years. The Evidence Act has additionally been revised to move the weight of confirmation on the blamed so far as assent for the unfortunate casualty young lady to such sex is concerned.
(4) Dowry and dowry death
The arrangement of offering dowry to a little girl at the hour of marriage is a well-established organization in India since she reserved no option to acquire the fatherly appropriately under the old Hindu law. At the point when women are degraded and can hope to accomplish economic wellbeing just on marriage, any essential condition will be satisfied to achieve that status – all the more so in a setting where culture and custom are specifically used to bless practices like dowry. The avarice for securing more property and getting a charge out of solace by taking dowry has come to such a pass, that recently hitched women are exposed to physical and mental torment by the spouse and her parents in law for non-satisfaction of the interest of dowry by guardians of the women. Numerous a period this torment prompts unnatural death of the wedded women. The Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 was sanctioned with the end goal of checking the developing danger of the social abhorrence of dowry, which makes not just the real demonstration of giving or taking dowry an offense culpable with detainment up to five years, yet additionally the very interest of dowry at that point, previously or after the marriage, an offense culpable with detainment up to two years. By method for translation of segment 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act 1961, the Supreme Court has set out that the interest of dowry for a proposed marriage which doesn’t emerge for nonfulfilment of the interest, is an offense culpable with detainment up to two years. These offenses are made cognizable with the end goal of examination by the police.
(5) Molestation and lewd behavior Modesty is to women, what scent is to blossom. Any individual utilizing any word or picture or motion or act or sound with a goal to affront the humility of any lady can be rebuffed with detainment up to one year. This is prominently known as inappropriate behavior. So also, any individual utilizing criminal power on a lady with the goal to shock her humility is obligated for an offense culpable with detainment up to two years. This is prevalently known as molestation. The number of molestation cases came up to 24,117 of every 1994 which comprises 24.37 percent of the absolute violations announced against women in that year. The quantity of cases on inappropriate behavior comprises 10.60 percent of the complete violations submitted against women in 1994.” Both the offenses of molestation and lewd behavior are cognizable and the police is engaged to examine the cases with no consent from the judge.
(6) Abduction and kidnapping
become casualties of kidnapping and abduction for an assortment of reasons in
the family and society. The thought processes behind kidnapping unmarried young
ladies or stealing wedded women are principally for sexual connection,
marriage, selling and prostitution. The demonstrations of kidnapping and
abduction for different purposes have been made offenses culpable with
detainment which may stretch out from seven years to life.
(7) Prostitution and dealing of
Prostitution itself isn’t perceived as an offense under any law in India. In any case, to forestall sexual misuse for business purposes, the demonstration of getting, actuating or removing any lady with the aim to abuse with the end goal of prostitution is perceived as an offense under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act 1956. A grown-up living on the profit of prostitution may likewise be obligated for submitting an offense. Thus, any individual who claims or has any premises for being utilized as the house of ill-repute or who oversees or helps with dealing with a massage parlor submits an offense. In any event, confining an individual in the premises where prostitution is continued is treated as an offense. Alluring any individual for sexual maltreatment or misuse for business purposes by any plain demonstration like motion or introduction of the body is likewise an offense deserving of law.
(8) Sati and abetment of suicide
Sati is wrongdoing exception to the Indian situation. The custom of consuming the alive of any widow alongside the dead body of her better half is prominently known as sati. Family members of the perished male biting the dust issueless, affect the widow of the expired to end it all by consuming on the fire of her dead spouse so as to snatch the property of the perished individual. This deep-rooted work on winning among the Hindu people group was first precluded by an institution of law at the initiative of a social reformer, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, over a century prior.
Need of sensitization
The Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) is the primary critical universal authoritative archive that lays explicit spotlight on the brutality that women endure because of legitimate, social and social customs. All organizations of the criminal justice framework must familiarize themselves with the point of view and understanding received by CEDAW in considering women’s hindrances and the resulting disparity they experience with regards to the brutality they face.

The Break Presents: Zoey Dollaz
Zoey Dollaz is flying high. The Miami-born rapper, who considers himself a mama's boy with deep Haitian roots, has checked an item off of the typical artist to-do list: sign to a major label. Earlier this month, Zoey inked a deal with Future's FreeBandz imprint and Epic Records, solidifying a working relationship with the EVOL creator after meeting him two years ago.
The 25-year-old aviation student set himself up nicely before signing the major label dotted line a few weeks ago. Zoey made major impact with his Smash David-poduced banger "Blow a Check" last summer, moving from the clubs to Diddy's studio to record a Bad Boy remix to the track. The effort appeared on Diddy's MMM album in late 2015, and received an accompanying visual this year that featured Zoey running through the money with the rap vet and French Montana. While the track centers on blowing cash fast, that's not its sole purpose.
"I feel like it's a motivational record," he tells XXL. "Whether you're a hustler, a business man, whether you're in the gym, working out, whether you're a girl, everybody wants to feel like they're financially straight to blow a check. Whether it's on food, clothes, group of girls go out and get your hair and nails done, that's blowing a check on yourself. You know that smart kid in college who blowing a check on books, I just feel like it's motivating. When you hear it, it pumps you up, like alright man, this song is crazy."
But the southern rhymer was building momentum months before "Blow a Check" surfaced. In February of 2015, he dropped the New '90s EP, a collection of tracks differing from the usual booty-shaking, bass music heard down in Miami. The work also featured fellow rapper Bizzy Crook and producer TM 88 and his knack for penning tight rhymes. Now, more than a year later, Zoey is prepared to deliver some new heat for his legion of fans. His forthcoming mixtape, Port-au-Prince, will be his first release as a FreeBandz signee.
As Zoey Dollaz finishes crafting his next tape, find out more about the guy who can't go anywhere without his two phones. Read on as the rapper opens up about following in Jay Z's footsteps, becoming the voice of the people and his dreams of flying the friendly skies.
Name: Zoey Dollaz
I grew up listening to: "I grew up listening to Jay Z, Biggie, Lloyd Banks, Eminem, Nas, Big-L, Eazy-E, a few of them. Home, Miami, my favorite rapper is Rick Ross, that's who I listen to back home. I didn't really have any influential rappers in my city because I never really listened to them. Some of my favorite R&B singers are Chris Brown, Barry White, Trey Songz, Michael Jackson.
I was about 11, 12 years old and I was like taking verses from Jay Z and verses from Lloyd Banks, snatching bits and parts from them and creating the whole verse for myself. I was like, oh this sounds so hard, I didn't even know that I could do it, and then within years I just learned how to not even write anymore. I haven't written down anything in like five, six years.
I just go in the booth. All the songs that you heard, that's just me hearing the beat, going in the booth and let's do this, alright hold on, bring this back, let's do this -- the whole song.
[Growing up in Miami], due to the fact that I went through so much stuff in the hood -- or women -- which is what I mostly rap about, situations that a regular kid in the hood has gone through. Girlfriend problems, beefing problems, I never sold drugs so I never rapped about selling drugs. It made me a tough person, but an emotional person. That’s why I’m so in tune with putting my emotions out in music, without feeling the need of being criticized for it because it’s other people out there that doesn’t have a voice like I have or who could put it in rhyming words like I can.
So I feel like those are the people I make music for. I was raised by all women, that’s why I’m such an R&B head, besides my sister and cousin were banging out Eminem and Lloyd Banks and Jay Z. That’s why Jay-Z is one of my favorite rappers because of my sister."
Most people don’t know: “I'm big on airplanes. I'm actually enrolled in aviation school. That was my dream -- to be a pilot. [And] I think my fans know that I eat everything with a banana. Everything. Soup, whatever it is."
My style has been compared to: “I hear people say Meek [Mill]. I hear people say Jada[kiss], I hear so much. People will say Drake. You'll hear the weirdest comparisons and they're like way away from what you know. It's just the single fact that people nowadays are so used to that certain type of music. When you go out of bounds and do something different and the only rappers that are doing something different is those rappers, they're always going to put you in that category with them, you know what I'm saying? They're going to put you in that box, but I feel that music is music.
If I have to do a country record, I'm going to do it. If I gotta go get Tim McGraw to come do a song with me, I'm going to go get him to do it. If I gotta go get Meek to do a song, I'm going to go and do it. Music is repeated history, it's something that, nobody really came out with a different genre of music and people were like, okay, this is... first of all, it's going to take you a hell of a long time to be accepted. So you gotta have a little bit of Jay Z, Tupac, Biggie, all that in you in order for you to be a dope artist. When you listen to J. Cole, he for sure reminds you of Jay Z. It's just music, itself. That's what I believe in."
Standout moment to date: “Puff brought me out New Year's Eve at Pitbull's New Year's Eve concert on live TV, Fox. Ah man, it was so crazy. I came out and I just saw everybody. I knew about it, but I didn't expect it to be what they were saying it was going to be. It was big. Fifty million viewers, it's crazy.
[Puff] did the 'Blow a Check' Bad Boy edition. The song went viral back home and that was during Revolt Music Conference [in October 2015] and him seeing me performing in every club and they're looking like, 'Who's this guy? The club going crazy like that? We never heard of you.' It was like, you know what, a friend of mine hooked me up with French [Montana] and put it together -- a strategy -- and then it was like Puff flew me out and we did the Bad Boy edition. We recorded in the studio.
[Puff] just tell me like, you're making history for where you're from. You're an unsigned artist [at the time], you're 25 years old and you get to be on Puff Daddy's album. That's like different, I feel like that's a trend. I feel like now bigger artists used to give upcoming artists that chance, to be part of their projects, if it won't be a headache."
Standout song: “I mean, ['Blow a Check'] one of my biggest songs that took off. I released it Aug. 24, 2015. The growth of it is amazing because you know when you put a plan together and you just throw it out there and you watch it work?
You just gotta hit them with the Birdman hand, so it's working. But sometimes I feel like I want to see myself as what my friends see me as. They knew the guy that was going to the clubs that was performing and everyone was just looking like, they didn't boo me, because it was actually good, but now they watch like, thousands of people going crazy, raging.
So it's like, I want to see myself the same way that they see it. I want to be on the outside looking in, but I'm on the inside, so to me it feels like work. It feels like, alright you gotta go ahead and do what you gotta do, even if it's 10 people or 10,000 people."
My goal in hip-hop is to: “To be that voice for the people that can't say certain stuff. You know life, if you got this girl and you want to tell her stop leaving shit in my house? You gon' listen to my music. If you in the vibe that you wanna blow a check? I'm that voice. If you can't put the feelings into rhyming words, you're going to be a fan of mine. I just went through this and he's rapping about it, that's what hip-hop is and I want to be able to help other artists get on as well, like put them out there and put a light on them. That's my goal."
I’m going to be the next: “I feel like I'm the next Jay Z. That's some big shoes to fill in. Just for the fact that he's my favorite rapper. I don't want to be better than him, I don't want to be less than him, I want to be just like him and do the things that he's done. As far as putting certain people on and the business moves that he's made, stuff like that. Not more so the money, just who he is as a person."

Out with the Old…
Well-based assays have been the standard for common laboratory experiments, such as fluorescence cytometry. A researcher places a small amount of sample into a well on a plate and assays it, which produces a single data point. However, this so-called single data point is actually an average of the measurements of each cell within the sample.
Importantly, the sample could generate a much larger set of data points if each cell was sampled individually.
There are other limitations to using well-based assays:
- Non-physiological: Because individual cells cannot be identified, important data is missed. For example, if sub-populations within a well vary in response or behavior, then that data is not captured.
- Chemical characteristics cannot be determined: Well-based assays treat the sample as one entity, as such cell-specific characteristics cannot be determined. For example, in drug testing, beyond overall viability, knowing other outcomes (such as membrane permeability) is very important. These other outcomes are indistinguishable with well-based assays.
- Sticky cells must be enzymatically detached: This subjects all the cells in the sample to wash steps with harsh chemical treatments to quantify adherent cells.
…In with the New (Image Cytometry)!
Image cytometry multiplies the applications of traditional flow cytometry by adding high-resolution visualization and acquisition of single cells through the use of a microscope. This allows assaying of each, individual cell. Image cytometry results in a higher degree of cell-counting accuracy and enables researchers to observe the heterogeneity within cells in a sample.
This method of cell quantification and visualization has multiple advantages over traditional techniques, such as general fluorescence cytometry or flow cytometry.
Reveal the Distribution of Cells
Heterogeneity in a “wellular” sample is completely missed by traditional plate assays, because it only acquires a single data point that averages the data for all cells in the sample. This method supplies critical information about the different populations of cells present in the sample by acquiring data for each individual cell. It can be very useful when describing how cells respond to a treatment, or whether cells are distributed evenly in the well.
Quantifies Adherent Cells Directly
Cells that are “stuck” together cannot be counted by traditional flow cytometry without first undergoing physical and chemical separation. These extra processing steps are often damaging to cells and take up valuable time. Using real-time image cytometry, researchers can automate the cell counting of adherent cells while bypassing these extra steps.
This method protects cell by offering different imaging modes to visualize cells instead of introducing dyes. Fluorescent assays involve the addition of toxic reagents to produce a measurable signal. Rather than introducing toxic reagents to intercalate DNA, determine cell mass, or assay cell proliferation, the combination of microscopy with cytometry allows visualization of cells through modifying the imaging mode. For example, clear images can be obtained using phase contrast and bright-field.
Miniaturization of Assays
As described above, image cytometry negates the need for physical and chemical processing of cells for assays. As a result, fewer cells will be lost in preparation, which allows researchers to use a smaller starting volume. This reduces both sample and reagent costs.
Real-Time Image Cytometry
As a result of the many applications and benefits over standard techniques, image cytometry has become a household tool for many laboratories. Technological advances to improve the quality and automation of data acquisition has resulted in innovative additions to image cytometry resulting in a next-level upgrade. Now, single-cell images can be acquired so rapidly that experiments can be visualized in real time to reveal rates of apoptosis, proliferation, and more.
The ability to capture dynamic events during the assay allows the full range of cellular behavior to be observed and quantified. Throughput is dramatically increased as data from every single cell is collected throughout the course of the experiment. As a result, no critical events are missed. Images of interest can also be captured and saved for future applications.
Many well-based assays can benefit from the throughput multiplying power of real-time imaging. Other useful applications include cell viability/toxicity assays, cell migration assays, and cell senescence assays.
Real-time image cytometry emerges as a powerful upgrade to standard well-based assays, improving the detection and increasing the amount of information that can be obtained from samples. However, in a world where square-footage is a valuable commodity, increasing your lab footprint with an imager and plate reader for cell-based assays is a viable concern. That’s why eco-conscious real-time image cytometers are the technology of the future, combining the microscope with the plate reader in one powerful instrument.
Another concern among laboratories is that real-time assays with live cells can take a long time when compared to fixed samples. The experiment could take days, and continuous monitoring by researchers can become a strain. The best solution to this is using an automated workflow that has a real-time, easily accessed monitoring system, like CNS by Tecan. This solution keeps track of the experiment so that you don’t have to and allows you to perform actions remotely. This important feature means that you can stop the experiment at any point if it doesn’t proceed as expected, add reagents at specific times during the workflow, and record specific clusters of data.
By increasing experimental power and control, the combination of microscope-integrated cytometry + real-time imaging + real-time monitoring delivers a breakthrough in improving the productivity and quality of cell-based assays.


So how do the pundits see today’s match between Stoke City and West Brom going? Well, the majority verdict is for a 1-1 draw, but one has stuck his neck out and predicted a home win.
The BBC’s Mark Lawrenson acknowledges that both sides are “desperate” for a win, but doesn’t see either coming out on top at the bet365 Stadium.
He says: “I felt a bit sorry for Stoke last week, with the way West Ham got their penalty for the first goal, but that is the kind of luck you have when you are near the bottom of the table.
“Both of these sides are pretty desperate for a win - Potters boss Mark Hughes remains under pressure, while West Brom manager Alan Pardew is still waiting for his first victory since replacing Tony Pulis last month.
“So I am going to go for a draw. I think it will end up 1-1, and the game will not be a classic.”
It’s a similar story from Sky Sports’ Paul Merson, who says neither team can afford to lose today.
He explains: “This is absolutely huge, for both teams. Whoever loses this, you’d think they are going to be in for long, hard season. These are the games you have to win.
“Stoke got absolutely ripped to shreds last week by West Ham, losing 3-0 to one of their rivals near the bottom.
“West Brom, meanwhile, only started playing well at 0-2 against Manchester United. Well anyone can play when two goals down, with the pressure off.
“These are two nervous teams who cannot afford to lose, so I’m going for a 1-1 draw.
Michael Owen is predicting a tough afternoon for the Potters in his column for the Metro, but believes they will edge a tight game.
The former Stoke striker says: “Stoke have lost their last three and they will be desperate to get back to winning ways in this local derby.
“Given that the visitors are without a win in their last 16 Premier League games this looks a gilt-edged opportunity for the Potters, but I’m not so sure.
“The Baggies are unbeaten in their last six against Stoke in the Premier League and this is likely to be a tight, close, nervous affair between two sides low in confidence.
“One goal might be enough, so I am going with 1-0 to the home team.”

ARP ROD BOLT STRETCH GAUGE
ARP's Rod Bolt Stretch Gauge provides an extremely accurate measurement when the tightening up your conrod fixings, which is always preferable to using a torque wrench.
It's been developed to provide optimum accuracy in determining the correct pre-load of the installed rod bolt.
This can also be used to monitor the condition of the bolt when installed, which is particularly useful on a race engine that's regularly apart for check-ups.
The gauge is supplied with a heavy-duty carry case and is ideal for both DIY and professional engine builders.


Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) applies a small, non-destructive, AC waveform to a sample and measures the subsequent attenuation and phase shift of the signal. The experiment is repeated over a range of frequencies (typically up to 10 per decade) and the results are modelled as a combination of resistors and capacitors (and other electrical components) which, in turn, can be interpreted as physicochemical phenomena.
In particular, a sample that has a layered structure can have the electrical conductivity of the layers determined, and if the dielectric constant(s) of the sample are known then the thickness of the layers can also be determined. EIS is also often used in the characterisation of surface processes, such as corrosion.
The ERZ100 is supplied with Z Navigator operating software and the powerful ZMAN modeling software.

Utah’s ski motto is “The Greatest Snow on Earth” and numerous awards support that claim. But Esther Stokes and Travis Moise, owners of Utah Ski Gear in Sandy, Utah, can name a lot more reasons to head for Salt Lake City for your ski vacation.
1. The slopes are close. “From the airport, you can get to 10 resorts in under an hour. … You can literally land at the airport and within an hour be on the slopes,” Moise said, referring to the four resorts in the Cottonwood canyons, the 3 resorts in Park City and Snowbasin, Wolf Mountain and Powder Mountain to the north. “All of that is right there because Salt Lake City is right there. So not only do you have the resorts there, but you can stay in Salt Lake City and stay at affordable hotels, you can have shopping, the grocery store, all that stuff that’s right there.”
2. Great snow at a lower altitude. “We get more snow than the Colorado resorts,” Moise said. “On any given year, the Cottonwood canyons get about 500 inches a year on average of snow, which is a ton of snow. They get just a little bit less than that in the Park City.” The lower altitude means less chance of altitude sickness, “and we’re a little warmer than Colorado,” Stokes said, “so weather-wise, I think we’re the better option.”
3. An Olympic history. The 2002 Winter Olympics were in Salt Lake City, and an Olympic museum and Utah Olympic Park are there. “If you go to the [training park], you can watch people in the summer actually going off jumps and landing in a pool. Kids and adults, you can actually go and sign up for a class,” Moise said. Stokes said they are adding an adult ski jumping clinic at the park. “We are excited to go and give it a try.”
4. Salt Lake City is a family-friendly city with excellent public transportation. “You can literally take public transportation the whole way during your vacation and not rent a car,” Moise said. That public transport goes from the airport to the slopes. “Salt Lake City now has a Trax line, a train, that goes out to the airport, that’s completed and running,” Stokes said. “And we have buses that operate from the airport to downtown and then to the resorts. … So for drivers who are maybe a little nervous about driving in the snow up and down the canyon, they can jump on public transportation and not have to drive in the snow.” She also pointed out that Utah has a lot of big families, so if you’re traveling out with families, Utah is the place. She recommended the natural history museum and the city’s new aquarium for no-ski days.
5. Utah is more diverse than what people think. “It is an international city,” Moise said. “Pick a nationality and you can probably go to a different restaurant every night for your week vacation very easily.” That diversity includes kosher offerings. There is a 5-star kosher restaurant – Bistro at Canyons – at The Canyons resort in Park City, Stokes said. “There’s also, in Salt Lake City, Kosher To Go in Sugar House (an area just southeast of downtown), and they do packaged kosher meals.”

Prix - Europe
Dossier industrie: Documentaire
Doc Lab Poland reçoit le Prix de l'EDN
En anglais : L'initiative est le programme le plus vaste et le plus divers qui soit proposé aux documentaristes pour développer des projets polonais
Cet article est disponible en anglais.
The 14th EDN Award is presented to Adam Ślesicki and Katarzyna Ślesicka from Doc Lab Poland. They receive the award in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the development of the European documentary culture through their work in connection with the Doc Lab Poland initiative.
Adam Ślesicki and Katarzyna Ślesicka receive the 2018 EDN Award for their work in establishing and running Doc Lab Poland, which is the largest and most multi-faceted programme for documentary filmmakers organized in Poland for Polish projects. The initiative supports auteur-driven creative documentary filmmaking and features a comprehensive programme for the development of film projects. In addition to development support, Doc Lab Poland also connects the European documentary industry to the Polish documentary scene, thereby making the strong creative tradition of Polish documentary more widely known and accessible.
With regards to the selection of Doc Lab Poland for the 2018 EDN Award, EDN Director Paul Pauwels states: “In times where national authorities and state structures seem to care less about freedom of expression, democratic values and creative artists, it is essential that we have initiatives fighting for the rightful existence of the documentary genre as an artistic expression and cornerstone of our democratic society. It is important to have organisations that create European collaborations and bridges to other national industries, especially in times where political structures tend to focus more on national preferences. I therefore believe it is a logical step to recognize Doc Lab Poland through the EDN Award 2018 for their outstanding contribution to the European documentary culture".
The award was presented to Adam Ślesicki at The EDN Award ceremony on 6 March during the Docs in Thessaloniki pitching forum organized by EDN during the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival.

Amtrak bus shuttles to last into fall
Catching the train will mean catching the bus for some Amtrak passengers well into this fall.
Four buses lined up at the Amtrak station in Springfield on Monday to ferry passengers on Train No. 303 around high-speed rail work south of the city.
Passengers reversed the pattern later in the day, catching Train No. 304 in Springfield for the trip north.
Those are the only two trains affected this week, but Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said additional changes are coming as high-speed rail construction moves north.
“It could affect all of our services. We’ll be announcing plans on how we’re going to handle this,” said Magliari, who added that use of buses would continue at least into November.
“We want to preserve as much service as possible,” said Magliari.
Vandalia Bus Lines Inc. is providing the motorcoach service, which is included in the regular ticket price, according to Amtrak.
‘Doing OK with it’
The Illinois Department of Transportation announced in July it would spend $98 million in federal stimulus funds to improve a 90-mile section of track north and south of Springfield. Union Pacific crews have begun preliminary work on track upgrades along a section just north of Alton.
The work will skip Springfield while a study continues on the best route for high-speed trains to take through the city.
Amtrak agent Brad Steller said passengers adapted fairly well to a first round of bus shuttles Aug. 6-12.
“They’ve been doing OK with it,” said Steller.
Amtrak employees and bus drivers helped guide passengers to the appropriate bus — three went to St. Louis and one to Carlinville and Alton — as they got off the southbound train. The process of shifting passengers and luggage from train to bus took a matter of minutes, though the switch caught some by surprise.
“Why didn’t they make an announcement?” said Alexander Kozievsky of Springfield, who was dropping off a family friend for the southbound ride.
Kozievsky said he and his wife like to take Amtrak to Chicago from time to time, and they have found early trains are most likely to be on schedule.
“We take the early, early train,” he said, referring to a 6:30 a.m. daily departure from Springfield for Chicago.
Girard resident Eileen Denney took her grandchildren on their first train ride Monday with a quick roundtrip between Carlinville and Lincoln.
“They called me about a week ago and told me I would get on a bus in Springfield and ride back to Carlinville,” said Denney. She said temporary disruptions will be worth it if high-speed passenger service works out.
“I think it would be great,” she said.
Construction yet to start
Crews are simply dropping off rails at this point to be used in construction of track upgrades. Amtrak and state transportation officials estimate the work will reach the south side of Springfield by early October.
The work then will jump north of the city to the section between Springfield and Lincoln.
Illinois has received $1.1 billion in federal stimulus money overall to rebuild tracks to accommodate high-speed rail between St. Louis and Chicago. The trains are to travel up to 110 mph.
The St. Louis-Chicago route is the busiest of three Amtrak lines in Illinois. Amtrak reported last week that more than 500,000 passengers traveled the route from October 2009 through July, an 11 percent increase from the same period last year.
Magliari said shuttle routes will be announced as the carrier gets a better idea of the track construction schedule, but the goal is to keep disruptions to a minimum.
“We’re still working on the plans, but we do know in September there is going to be more track work,” he said.
Vandalia Bus Lines driver Dale Clifton said he has had experience shuttling Amtrak passengers between trains, and most seem to take the switch in stride.
“They are not always happy to get off of a train and onto a bus, but we try to make them as comfortable as we can,” he said.
Tim Landis can be reached at 788-1536.
Route change this week
Two daily Lincoln Service trains will originate and terminate in Springfield through Thursday this week.
* Train 303, which normally operates from Chicago to St. Louis, terminates in Springfield; passengers take buses to St. Louis; a separate bus is provided for passengers traveling to Carlinville and Alton.
* Train 304, which normally operates from St. Louis to Springfield, originates in Springfield. Passengers from St. Louis, Alton and Carlinville travel to Springfield by bus.
Greyhound still seeking station
Greyhound Lines Inc. is still looking for a full-service location in Springfield nearly five months after a station on Dirksen Parkway closed, a company spokesman said Monday.
“We’re still looking for an agency location or an existing business to operate out of,” said Tim Stokes.
Stokes said the company continues to use its old station site at 2531 S. Dirksen Parkway for arrivals and departures, but the building is closed and no longer offers ticket sales. The company has added portable toilets and arranged for site maintenance, he said.
The Dirksen Parkway station, which opened in 1990, closed in late March.

Renowned author, Salman Rushdie, whose writings have made him the target of Iranian death threats, was on a ventilator and could lose an eye after he was repeatedly stabbed at a literary event in New York State Friday.
Following the attack Rushdie was airlifted to the hospital where he needed emergency surgery, and his agent said in a statement that “the news is not good.”
“Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged,” said agent Andrew Wylie, who added that as of now Rushdie cannot speak.
New York State police identified the suspect involved in the attack as Hadi Matar, a 24-year-old from Fairfield, New Jersey. A probable motive remained unclear.
Police said Rushdie was stabbed in the neck as well as the abdomen. A number of people rushed to the stage and took the suspect to the ground, before an officer present at the event arrested him.
A doctor in the audience administered medical care until emergency first responders arrived.

A small Seattle based mail-order company is selling patriotic kitsch to Americans. And then one day their whole call center is being outsourced to India. Todd (Jeff Hamilton), the call-center manager, has no real option than going to India to train his replacement if he wants to keep working for his company. So he goes. And he´s forced to jump head-first into a life altering adventure. Having to adapt to cultural differences, wandering cows, endearing call-center employees, love and the pressure from his company at home.
Sounds corny? Not by far! It´s quite the opposite.
John Jeffcoat made a movie that captured the audience at the opening screening in Stuttgart in its first 5 minutes. (Like predicted by the german distributor before the film).
It´s funny. Very funny actually. Endearing. Smart. Schnuffelig. With a great cast (Ayhesha Dharker, Asif Basra and Jeff Hamilton in peticular) And apart from a few scenes, shot entirely in/around Mumbai.
One great thing about Outsourced is,that it is a true "cultural-crossover" film. Some reviews compare it to "My big fat Greek wedding", a statement that only true in parts. As here Jeffcoat took the American guy and put him through the "real" thing. Not only a westernized Immigrant suburb.
And really everbody in Stuttgart seemed to love it. The German Bollywood fan crowd, the Arthouse film buffs who usually frown upon mainstream movies, the Indian filmi-people. Some have been in India before and had a deja-vu experience on some of the scenes and others who only knew life in Mumbai out of movies or the news. You could sense from the timing of their laughter where the various groups sat in the cinema hall. No surprise that it won the Audience Award...
Starting September 26th it is opening on a limited release across the USA. So, anyone who has not seen Outsourced yet and lives in the vicinity of these movie theaters just needs to go and watch it. A post on the movies blog also announced a release in Germany this autumn. And there are plans for a release in India too.
Got curious? Here´s a link the trailer and the movie´s website

Greif Announces Further Expansion Plans for Russia
New Steel Drum Production Plant
Situated 80km south west of Moscow in the fast-developing region of Kaluga, the plant will be Greif’s seventh steel drum production facility in Russia, and the largest of its kind in the country.
Equipped with the latest steel drum manufacturing technology, the new plant located on Vorsino Industrial Park will cover an area of 6000 square metres and is expected to create 50 new jobs. The central region of Russia was chosen because of its advantageous geographic location within the Moscow transportation hub and proximity to several of Greif’s key customers.
The new facility will feature an automatic steel drum line with a capacity of two million units per year. Additionally, in response to continued market growth, a further investment in the Vorsino site is planned for early 2019 with the launch of Greif’s second IBC line in Russia (after Kazan).
