: In Eco-Technology Research Center of Rits University, comprehensive research was done to develop the industrial production of water-polymer fuel emulsions and to apply them for combustion in power generating plants instead of traditional fuels. The employment of water-polymer fuel emulsions is intended to save natural resources (heavy fuel oil) and would reduce NOx emissions into the atmosphere during combustion. In the experiments, automotive recycled polypropylene of high average molecular weight was used in the production of polymer fuel and successfully emulsified with water using surfactants. The kinematic viscosity of the emulsified polymer fuels was measured, and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were conducted to investigate the distillation and the combustion properties.
The results of the laser investigation of droplets in sprays of the emulsified polymer fuel are presented. Although the emulsified fuel shows a relatively high viscosity, the fuel, non-Newtonian fluid, is able to atomise in spray. The combustion of the new fuels was investigated in an internal combustion engine and proved that emulsified polymer fuels can be successful burned with high efficiency. The study showed that the new emulsification process proposed by the authors is able to produce a new class of fuels from waste plastic, practical for power generation plants, saving resources and improving the environment. The research is continuing to elucidate all the aspects of the industrial application including boiler combustion.

Hello. Once again I am coming for feedback on a care plan. This was a copy and my instructor made one comment on it. (In the red font)
I guess I do not understand what she is really asking.....
Can anyone offer any advice or corrections they think I should make?
Ineffective breathing pattern related to alteration in oxygen supply as evidenced by shortness of breath, oxygen saturation of 87%, and use of accessory muscles while breathing.
Patient will establish appropriate breathing pattern evidenced by absence of hypoxia before discharge.
Patient's respiration rate and pulse oximetry will return to normal/acceptable range before discharge.
Patient showed no signs of hypoxia or respiratory distress before discharge. (Goal met)
Patient's respiratory rate remained within 17-18 breaths per minute during hospitalization. Her pulse oximetry remained above 92% during hospitalization and once she was weaned off oxygen therapy. (Goal met)
Patient reported feeling very short of breath last few days and very fatigued.
Patient had oxygen saturation of 87% when arriving at emergency room on room air â€“ patient placed on 2 liters of oxygen.
Patient reported having a very sore throat.
Patient's voice was very hoarse and a dry cough was noticed.
Patient was using accessory muscles during respirations and had nasal flaring present.
Respirations were 28 in emergency room.
Monitoring of pulse oximetry and respiratory rate.
Having patient sit in chair or elevate head of bed when patient is in bed.
Administer oxygen therapy as prescribed if needed.
Auscultate chest and lungs.
Encourage use of incentive spirometer every four hours while patient is awake. (Collaborate with respiratory therapy)
Who would you collaborate with one VS? If they gather data indicating abnormals, then what would they do?
Monitoring pulse oximetry and respiratory rate verifies maintenance and improvement of oxygen saturation.
Elevating the head of bed and having patient in sitting position can promote physiological and psychological ease of maximal inspiration.
Administering oxygen therapy helps with management of any respiratory distress or signs and symptoms of hypoxia.
Auscultating the chest and lungs help to evaluate breath sounds or fluid in lungs.
Using an incentive spirometer can help you practice taking deep breaths, which can help open your airways, prevent fluid or mucus from building up in your lungs, and make it easier for you to breathe.

I think science has been working toward that goal for a while now. I agree that within 30 years at the most, science will be able to grow a "made to order" replacement organ for any individual and not have to worry about rejection. I also believe there will be a day when we no longer have to make artificial limbs.
.Tissues grown from stem cells will replace organ and tissue transplants sooner than 30 years, in my opinion. The technology is alreayd there and we know how technology doubles every 18 months. It should be no more than 10 years that this is a reality that we are all living with.
I believe that in next 30 years time tissues grown from stem cells will replace organ and tissue transplants. Although some governments currently ban the use of stem cell related research, most governments are still pursueing the development and use of stem cells. As a whole I believe we will see the decline of organ and tissue transplants and the gradual acceptance of tissues grown from stem cells in the next 30 years.
No, tissues grown from stem cells will not replace organ and tissue transplants within 30 years, because the science is not even close to being able to grow new complete organs with stem cells. Stem cells show promise, but so far, we do not have the science to get to that point. It will not develop within 30 years, if at all.
It is less likely that a full replacement of organ and tissue transplants will occur, but it is more likely that stem cell tissues being grown will buttress these sort of transplants over the next 30 years. Certain objections on moral or religious grounds will always prevent 100% takeover, and it seems as though there is still a ways off before stem cell tissue growth becomes 100% valid.

Disney World’s gingerbread displays continue to be completed as we get closer to the holidays!
Six resort hotels and EPCOT each get their own festive gingerbread display! We’ve seen a few be completed already but now another one has been added to the done list. Let’s check out the gingerbread bakery over at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn!
The BoardWalk Inn brings back their annual gingerbread display in the shape of the BoardWalk Deli. This year’s sculpture is simply amazing.
The gingerbread deli looks impeccable from a distance, but once you look up close you get a sense of the painstaking details that are truly breathtaking. If you zoom in on the bakery window, you’ll see a famous mouse couple making some delicious treats. Seriously, notice the details inside this room!
The treats all baked up look incredibly genuine. The level of detail at which the chefs created these sculptures is unlike any other holiday decoration.
A close-up of the trees will show you tiny little ornaments without a detail left out.
And if you scope out the little bakery, you’re sure to find several of the over 100 hidden Mickeys!
Would you like a hidden Mickey coffee ornament?
Or how about these hidden Mickeys inside the bakery?
Many are more obvious, but you have to look at the tiniest details to find them all. And for an added treat, every hour, on the hour, a cuckoo clock goes off presenting Orange Bird!
We talked to a Cast Member who helped with this display and he told us that he and his wife (who works on the display at Disney’s Contemporary Resort) both add names of loved ones and people they know into the displays. So keep your eyes out for those fun Cast Member nods.
Make sure you head over to the BoardWalk Inn to check out this wonderful gingerbread display!
In the meantime, check back to DFB for more Disney news!
Do you enjoy visiting the gingerbread displays in Disney World? Let us know in the comments!

2023 NEW The Wire TV Show Funko Pops! Heroes Reborn
I’ll tell you what, the new Funko Pop! Television: The Wire Funko Pops! (2023) collection is bringing an impressive, condensed charm to the compelling complexity of the characters we love from the gritty Baltimore streets.
To get your hands on these Pop Vinyl Figures at its launch, be sure to check out the links I’ve provided below – click to jump or scroll to continue reading!
In the sprawling urban landscape of Baltimore, “The Wire” captures a tapestry of stories as intricate and vibrant as the city itself.
Each narrative thread is woven with a deft hand, from the back alleys to the classrooms, from the docks to the political war rooms.
At its heart, “The Wire” is about the people caught in the machinations of a complex system, struggling against the ebb and flow of power and survival.
Characters like Jimmy McNulty, the bold yet well-intentioned detective, and Stringer Bell, the coldly calculating drug lord, are painted with such vivid realism that they practically leap off the screen.
The resulting series is a multi-faceted gem, as rich and diverse as the city it portrays.
To dive into “The Wire” is to dive into the heart of Baltimore itself – an experience that is as rewarding as it is profoundly affecting.
These Funko Pops are charming reflections of “The Wire’s” complex narrative, breathing a fun, creative life into the heartbreakingly realistic portrayal of Baltimore.
Their charming quirkiness and the show’s raw grit create an oddly satisfying contrast.
They’re a delightful way to celebrate and remember the emotional rollercoaster “The Wire.”
Here are The Wire Pop! Figures for this release:
- The Wire: Stringer Bell Funko Pop! Vinyl Figure
- The Wire: Jimmy McNulty Funko Pop! Vinyl Figure
- The Wire: Bubbles Funko Pop! Vinyl Figure
The Wire Funko Pop! Vinyl Figures (2023) are an unconfirmed release. It is only official when or if Funko announces it. I’ll update more information in the long run.
For anyone who has ever dipped their toes into the sprawling narrative of “The Wire,” one thing is sure – it’s unlike anything that preceded it on our television screens.
Two decades on, the audacious HBO series, born on June 2, 2002, continues to be an unprecedented triumph in small-screen storytelling.
Forget what you’ve seen on “Law and Order” or “NCIS.”
“The Wire” isn’t your run-of-the-mill cop show. It shirks neatly wrapped-up storylines and easy-to-digest episodic structures.
Instead, it opens the curtains wide on labor, education, media criticism, and civic politics, using the police genre as a mere tool.
You’ll find the series sneaking into corners other police dramas fear to tread.
The DNA of “The Wire” goes far beyond its surface-level drama.
What makes it resonate so deeply is the show’s fatalistic core.
It forces us to confront American society’s sad and cyclical realities – from the endless battle with drug crime to systemic corruption within our institutions.
The show’s creator, David Simon, paints a gritty picture of Baltimore, where institutions remain stubbornly static while individuals scramble to survive within a dysfunctional system.
Its tapestry of characters is diverse and lifelike. Each is trapped in its particular cycle of struggle and resilience.
One memorable character, Omar Little, played by the brilliant Michael K. Williams, is a paradox.
He’s an openly gay stickup man in a homophobic environment, living by his moral code, offering the only tangible glimpse of individualism that seems to survive outside the system.
Yet, even his fate is a chilling reminder of the brutal reality “The Wire” sets out to depict.
In “The Wire,” every character is a pawn in a vast, relentless game of chess – from the tireless cops to the ruthless drug kingpins and everyone in between.
It’s not just about the characters but the ecosystem they inhabit.
“The Wire” is a tableau of the raw, uncut capitalism of the drug trade, the decay of blue-collar jobs, and the systemic failings of urban schools and local media.
What makes “The Wire” a piece of art is its inimitability.
The show remains a solitary beacon in a sea of copycats two decades after its premiere.
It’s a testament to the genius of David Simon.
Other creators might tip their hats to it, but none dare to walk the tightrope of complexity and realism that “The Wire” does with such ease.
Despite its acclaim and subsequent cult status, “The Wire” never spawned a new breed of television show.
However, that’s not a defeat.
It’s proof that “The Wire” accomplished precisely what it set out to – it told us a realistic, brutal, and necessary story.
The fact that no one has genuinely replicated it just adds to its enduring legacy, marking it as a standalone masterpiece in the annals of television history.

A former minor league baseball pitcher, the strip’s namesake, Ed Crankshaft, was deeply disappointed when his major league aspirations fell by the wayside. Today, however, he can deal with life’s curveballs, thanks to a loving family that stands by him. Crankshaft amuses comics fans with his no-holds-barred zingers and cantankerous disposition, an obvious outer crust for a school bus driver.
Since its debut in 1987, Crankshaft has engendered reader loyalty with its engaging storylines and Crankshaft’s muddled aphorisms. Created by Batiuk and drawn by Chuck Ayers, the strip is a spin-off of Batiuk’s immensely popular high school comic, Funky Winkerbean. Written in the same “narrative humor” vein as Funky, the strip offers plenty of humor, but it also tackles some tough issues like adult illiteracy, Alzheimer’s disease and school violence.
Available daily and on Sundays, Crankshaft currently connects with readers in more than 300 newspapers worldwide. Given the strip’s thoughtful approach in acknowledging the issues facing today’s senior citizens, Crankshaft is particularly popular among older people and those who have parents at or beyond retirement age. Crankshaft really resonates with readers emotionally invested in the strong, identifiable characters and plot-driven storylines.

Avril Lavigne, Chad Kroeger in France for Wedding Weekend
An intimate ceremony is being planned for the Canadian musicians.
In what's being described as a "wedding weekend," Canadian rockers Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger are tying the knot.
The couple are to marry this week at a ceremony in the South of France, a source tells The Hollywood Reporter. The Monday ceremony is being described as "intimate," with the singer reportedly wearing a Johanna Johnson custom-made dress, according to Us Weekly.
The Nickelback frontman proposed to Lavigne with a 14-carat diamond ring last August after a six-month courtship. The couple became close while working together on her upcoming fifth studio album.
“I knew I was falling for her,” Kroeger said shortly after their engagement was announced. “It was incredibly powerful and something I’ll never forget.
It is the first marriage for Kroeger, 38, and the second for Lavigne, 28, who was married to Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley from 2006-2009.
Ahead of the nuptials, Lavigne said Kroeger was letting her do most of the wedding planning.
"Chad is on board with all my ideas," she told People in June. "He knows that I have my own vision for the wedding and he likes what I like. He's down with whatever I'm down with. We have a lot in common, so it's been easier."
UPDATE: A beach-side party that took place in Cannes on Saturday was initially reported to be the wedding.

Throughout history, there have been so many musical talents that have made a mark that it has become hard to count. Many of their stories are so unique and touching that they are almost begging that a movie be made about them. A movie bio is not just a way to tell the story of an artist, but it is a way to give their work a new life. We compiled our top five list of all-time best movie bio’s in history. The first one will take you back to a time that none of us were there to witness.
Celebrity drama was and will always be one of the most eye-catching subjects in the tabloids. This begs the question if there is celebrity drama, but no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? The answer is yes! Before there were any magazines to write about it, this star versus star drama definitely existed. The movie Amadeus is a critically acclaimed Oscar-Winning movie about the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, narrated by his arch-enemy Antonio Salieri who loathed the classical composer and obsessed about his success. This riveting tale will have you jumping out of your seat with passion.
Todd Haynes dives deep into the psyche of one of the world most influential musicians, and probably the most skilled songwriter of our time, Bob Dylan. Rather than doing a standard bio, Haynes turned to six actors, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, and Ben Whishaw who would all portray the various public personas that Dylan undertook.
Lou Diamond Phillips takes on the role of a young rising star of the 50s, Richie Valens. Valens, a young Latin American pop sensation from California, had the whole world ahead of him until he died in a tragic plane crash. The same plane crash that took the life of Buddy Holly. This movie takes you on the short journey of success that Valens enjoyed.
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon had a riveting performance, and both won Oscars for their performance in the bio about the legendary country-folk star, Johnny Cash. The movie follows the musical career of Cash in both his rise and falls.
Out of all the Hip-Hop Biopics out there such as the Notorious B.I.G, Tupac, and 8mile, Straight Outta Compton definitely takes the cheese as the best one. The movie dives into the birth of modern gangster hip-hop, portraying all the members of N.W.A and how the group came to form. It also delves very profoundly into divides within American society.

Keene Family YMCA
Keene Family YMCA is a VR New Hampshire Employment Leadership Award winner that employs people with disabilities.
The Keene Family YMCA has truly embraced inclusion as a pillar of its workplace culture. The community-strengthening nonprofit employs several people with disabilities and receives workforce development support from Monadnock Developmental Services (MDS), a VR New Hampshire partner.
“We feel that we’re a much richer workplace environment at YMCA because of the diversity we have in our workplace,” says Dan Smith, Keene Family YMCA CEO. He credits leadership and all the staff for creating a community and workplace environment that embraces everyone. “It does not matter if you are working the front desk or as the CEO,” he says.
Individuals with disabilities work in several roles at “the Y,” bringing their unique perspectives to the tasks at hand. All of these employees are held to the same standards and expectations, with no identifiers as to whether staff members have a disability or not. They all receive the same training, such as CPR certifications and online courses, and all skills and abilities are valued and appreciated.
“The individuals we support have been included in whatever events are offered to all the staff,” says Sheila Mahon, Director of the Monadnock Center for Successful Transitions at MDS. “They receive a free membership to the YMCA, participate in the staff meetings and have given feedback. There is such a great level of respect and dignity for each and every person that steps foot into the building.”
Mr. Smith recognizes the value that comes from offering job accommodations to employees with disabilities, if and when they are needed. “We do that to be able to get an employee who is skilled differently to be able to bring perspectives that perhaps aren’t in your work environment at the time,” he says. Karlton, a fellow employee at the Y, agrees. “Everybody has a way of dealing with certain things, and it makes you stronger and better when you are able to learn from that person,” he says.
For Mr. Smith and his team, it’s rewarding to be working together toward the common goal of inclusion. “Employing people of different abilities and diversity just makes the work environment richer,” he says. “It makes all of us happier.”

Two cats now in renal failure...so distraught! Now we were given this and a few other brands by our vet. They will eat a little of this but still not liking it too much. How are we supposed to feed our cats who are in kidney failure when no one can come up with a food they really like? What a shame there's really nothing to make a kidney cat food really appealing to my cats. We've tried them all...again this is the only one they will pick at but STILL do NOT care for it much either :( I have EVEN TRIED mixing it with their all time favorite regular foods.
My sweet girl is a frail 15+yo who's never been a picky eater. On the first day she ate it. Afterwards, she ate very little of it and now she refuses to eat it at all. The consistency is sticky, paste like. I tried adding a little water. It just made into grainy goop. I even tried warming it up. Still a no go.
None of the rescues in stage 3 and stage 4 kidney failure will eat this. These are cats who used to survive outdoors by eating garbage, rodents, and dead birds. Tried mixing in fishy canned food, but they are too smart for that. At this cost, could not buy another tray of cans if it will not nourish them. Also strongly believe in quality of life and making the final months, weeks, days torture free. Switched brands and give fluids, liquid and dry supplements instead.
I mix another canned food with this and my cat wolf's it down. She's not as keen on this product alone. Also the product is a little "rubbery".I have to smoosh it down so she is able to eat it well. This is the best food for my cat's advanced kidney issues so I'm glad I can make it work!
I was crossing my fingers that my picky cat would like this because he is in kidney failure and we want him to stay with us as long as possible and the good news is he absolutely loves this food
My Smokey has tried all the kidney prescription foods, and Purina Pro Plan Kidney Function food is the only one he will eat! Finally a food he will eat!
Started my cat on another prescription wet food for his kidney issues - he stopped eating it so switched to Purina NF - it’s working well and he’s not showing any signs of disliking it - a relief - his energy level and overall health has been better on this product!
Even though I am mixing it with her old food, she has been very reluctant to eat this food. And she is not usually a picky eater.
I have an elderly shelter cat who was just diagnosed with kidney failure. This cat loves food, especially wet food (but not so much kibble). I was pretty surprised when he has refused to eat this canned wet food. I’m unsure what he’s not liking about it but he is not interested.
This renal cat food doesn’t have a lot of moisture and my two cats who have stage 1-2 kidney disease do not like it at all. They’ll eat it as a last resort. It also is a pretty dry pate formula. I do not recommend.

“It’s vital to establish some rituals–automatic but decisive patterns of behavior–at the beginning of the creative process, when you are most at peril of turning back, chickening out, giving up, or going the wrong way.”
– Twyla Tharp, “The Creative Habit”
It’s summer and I’ve let my writing rituals melt away with the lazy days and heat. But once school starts back up, I will find my way back to those rituals that ground my writing practice. It usually involves yoga, meditation, lighting of a candle, morning pages then into my work. Some days it means taking myself out to the bookstore to write in the cafe with a cup of tea. Sometimes I include reading poetry out loud, getting the music of language in the space around me. Writing at the same time everyday is helpful. It becomes almost Pavlovian. Sitting here, at this time means it is time to write. It’s important to keep the ritual simple, otherwise the time is spent on the preparation rather than the actual writing.
What about you? Do you have any writing rituals? If so, I’d love to hear about them. Please share in the comments.

Car manufacturer Citroen will soon launch the electric version of its C3. The senior management of the company has confirmed this. C3 Electric will be launched in January next year. This car will be an essential product for electric vehicle buyers as an extension of options. The C3 Electric will compete with the Tata Tiago EV that was launched recently. The features and other details of this car have yet to be disclosed.
What will be the range?
A 30.2kWh battery pack can be found in the C3 EV, which will be quite powerful for this car. The car will also support fast charging, as it is expected to get a good range, around 300 kilometres or more.
How will the look be?
Talking about the look or style, the C3 EV will get little change from the petrol C3. Minor changes are expected in this. The interior will be almost the same except for the gearbox change.
Citroën is likely to introduce the C3 EV at an aggressive price point with a slight premium change over the petrol C3. According to estimates, its price can be around 12 lakh rupees. The company launched the C3 a few months ago with the turbo petrol and the naturally aspirated 1.2L in a 5-speed and 6-speed manual. While in the EV version, the C3 is expected to get an automatic torque converter option and a manual gearbox, which will not be an AMT.
Other cars will also be launched.
Other features on the Citroen C3 include a rear wiper and many more. The company will bet big with the EV version of the C3 in India and is expecting a good response from the market. Along with this, Citroen will soon expand its portfolio by launching other products in the country. The company is preparing a three-row crossover for the Indian market as its new product.

The opening scene of Wim Wenders’s Wrong Move is one of the most Wim Wenders things Wim Wenders ever shot. Rüdiger Vogler stands at a window looking out at a mostly empty square in his small German town. Then, quietly, he punches the glass. That might seem a gesture of anger, but his face is mostly expressionless, his movements tired, almost deliberate. Is he doing this out of frustration, or because he just wants to know how it feels to punch a window? We never get a real answer. But the moment is both angst-ridden and kind of funny: Vogler’s detached expression speaks to his alienation, but it’s also a Buster Keatonesque Great Stone Face.
Wenders never intended for the films he made between 1974 and 1976 — Alice in the Cities, Wrong Move, and Kings of the Road, all playing at BAM this weekend — to be grouped together; it was the critic Richard Roud who called them “The Road Trilogy.” But the director built his initial reputation on these pictures, before becoming a full-on international superstar with the Palme d’Or–winning Paris, Texas and the unforgettable arthouse hit Wings of Desire. I still remember seeing these early movies on VHS as a teenage film geek, their uniformly black boxes emblazoned with the name “Wenders” running down the side in large block letters; this was one director who got in on the branding game early. At the time, the works were regarded as fashionably bleak and nihilistic. (Mike Myers’s pretentious German artiste Dieter on Saturday Night Live, one imagined, was probably a big Wenders fan.) But this stereotype did little justice to the films’ marvelous complexity and irreverent humor — a humor that truly comes to life when you see them on a big screen, with an audience.
We think of the road movie as a particularly American genre. And no doubt, Wenders has always worn his American influences on his sleeve, as evidenced in the jukeboxes and rock ‘n’ roll records and Fotomats and soda vending machines that clutter these films. But the focus here is very much on Germany, and on a generation of Germans who came of age after the war and never quite reconciled with the past. Alice in the Cities does open in the U.S., with German journalist Philip Winter (Vogler) on a boardwalk, dejectedly taking Polaroids and complaining that they never look like the real thing. Winter was supposed to be filing articles, but in his alienation has opted instead to take pictures, leading his boss to fire him. In New York, he runs into a single mom with a young daughter, Alice (Yella Rottländer), and gets saddled with the girl when the woman disappears on the eve of their return to Germany. So Winter heads back to Europe with Alice and, relying on her dodgy memories, attempts to find her grandparents’ house.
In Wrong Move, Vogler’s Wilhelm is an aspiring writer who connects with a small group of eccentrics — including an actress (played by the luminous Hanna Schygulla), a failed poet (Peter Kern), and an aging con man and former Nazi soldier (Hans Christian Blech) whose traveling companion is a mute teenage acrobat (Nastassja Kinski). The film, very loosely based on Goethe’s 1795 novel Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship, has an ambling structure in which plot and character motivation take a backseat to long digressions about the state of Germany and the desire to create art when one doesn’t like people very much. Over and over in these films, Wenders returns to questions of creation and estrangement; you sense a director working out his own frustrations. “Not writing itself, but wanting to write is the need,” we’re told. So where does that impulse go if one cannot write, direct, paint, perform?
Vogler returns in Kings of the Road, this time playing Bruno Winter, a movie projector repairman (symbolism alert!) making his way through the towns on the border between East and West Germany in a big converted truck. Then he meets Robert Lander (Hanns Zischler), a recently divorced pediatric linguist who attempts to kill himself by driving his Volkswagen into the Elbe then exits carrying a suitcase — another moment of angsty, deadpan Wendersian slapstick. As they travel the border, we again get almost no character psychology or narrative momentum. Instead, we’re given beautiful images of desolation, courtesy of Robby Müller’s cinematography. The landscape might be postindustrial, or it might be primeval. The uncertainty seems intentional: Is this a wasteland where nothing grows, or a blank slate filled with potential? That depends, probably, on your attitude.
Running nearly three hours, Kings of the Road is the director’s most languorous, episodic film (which is saying a lot); it was largely improvised over a few weeks as the cast and crew themselves traveled these areas. As Bruno and Robert bond and attempt to interact with the people and places they come across, we sense their need to come to terms with a broken society — not just the broken projectors and decaying theaters that Bruno works with. These men refuse to speak of the past, but the past occasionally intrudes. At one point, Robert visits his aging father, the owner of a small local newspaper. There is clearly dark history between them, but it’s kept vague enough that the betrayal feels generational, not personal.
The failure of the last generation, meanwhile, contrasts with the potential of the next one. In several scenes, including one hilarious episode involving a curtain rod and a roomful of boisterous schoolkids, the characters are reminded of the innocence of childhood — an innocence they may never return to — when images still held an elemental power and everything felt alive and new, when going from one place to another conveyed possibility instead of confirming the prison-like nature of existence.
But there I go, making it sound like these are despondent, miserabilist movies. They’re not, really. Their otherworldly atmosphere has its own allure; you could easily lose yourself in a picture like Kings of the Road. And in all three films, Vogler’s charmingly quiet presence conveys more bewilderment than torment. Even as he explores our inability to engage with the world around us, Wenders finds moments of warmth and humor, of beauty and wonder. He doesn’t want to wallow in the gloom. He wants to find ways to pull us all out.

Nick Stahl was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold, a la Britney Spears and Paris Jackson, last night after being taken to an L.A. hospital, TMZ reports.
Stahl, whose long struggle with drugs, alcohol, and other personal issues rivals that of Eddie Furlong, was transported to the facility around 3:30 a.m.
Details about circumstances of why he was hospitalized and placed on psychiatric hold are unclear at this time, but it's clearly a sad spiral for Nick Stahl.
He recently said he was committed to turning his life around, too, after he went missing, went to rehab, went missing again and was arrested for a lewd act.
Here's hoping he gets it together ... this time.

How can I learn to sing classical?
Training to become a classical singer takes daily dedication. Set aside a set amount of time to practice each day. Choose a space where you are comfortable singing loudly and doing exercises that might sound or look odd to others. Work with your voice instructor to put together a regular home practice schedule.
Can anyone learn to sing classical?
Anyone who has a passion for singing and dedication to practice can learn to sing opera. Not everyone has that stamina or wants that lifestyle, but there are roles in operas for any type of singer, from dramatic to lyric to colatura singers. So yes, there’s an operatic role for every classical singer out there.
Can classical music have vocals?
Whereas most popular styles are usually written in song form, classical music is noted for its development of highly sophisticated instrumental musical forms, like the concerto, symphony and sonata. Classical music is also noted for its use of sophisticated vocal/instrumental forms, such as opera.
Is classical music hard to sing?
To learn how to sing classical music involves hard work, patience, repertoire of skills, and commitment. Beginners and even professionals have to develop their voices through systematic and careful practice of vocal exercises and songs.
How do I know my voice type?
How to Find Your Voice Type
- Warm up. Before doing any type of singing, it’s vitally important to do a vocal warm up, particularly when singing near the edges of our vocal range.
- Find your lowest note.
- Find your highest note.
- Compare your lowest and highest note.
Is opera the hardest to sing?
Opera has long been condoned as one of the most difficult styles of singing to master, often because of the large levels of volume that your body has to produce in order to sing over the orchestra since it joins theatrics and classical singing together.
Can you teach yourself to sing?
In the same way as any other artistic domain, singing lends itself perfectly to self- teaching. You can learn to listen to your own voice and correct the notes that are out of key, adjust your vocal cords and your vocal timbre, master breathing, then, bit by bit, you can start calling yourself a singer.
Is Charice still singing?
The Filipino singer and Glee guest star formerly known as Charice Pempengco now goes by the new name, Jake Zyrus. aired in October 2014, Zyrus has kept a low-profile — until now.
Was classical music for the rich?
Unfortunately, despite its intense popularity, classical music was reserved for the wealthy because the average citizen simply could not afford a ticket to a performance. Government officials, church officials, emperors and empresses regularly commissioned great composers to write and play music.
What is the deepest singing voice type?
In general, a bass is the lowest and darkest of the male voices and is ideal for several types of roles. The word bass comes from the Italian word basso, which means low. Some singers in this category are referred to as bass-baritones because they have voices that range between the bass and the baritone voice.
What are the 5 basic characteristics of classical music?
The Classical period
- an emphasis on elegance and balance.
- short well-balanced melodies and clear-cut question and answer phrases.
- mainly simple diatonic harmony.
- mainly homophonic textures (melody plus accompaniment) but with some use of counterpoint (where two or more melodic lines are combined)
- use of contrasting moods.
What is the difference between classical and contemporary singing?
Some classical singers overly depress the larynx which darkens the sound. This can make their voice sound manipulated when they go to sing contemporary. In contemporary styles, you’ll notice the larynx is more neutral or even slightly raised. A raised larynx will shorten the back of the vocal tract.
How long does it take to be a classically trained singer?
Classical music has very specific requirements and doesn’t come as naturally as other forms. Expect to spend many years working with a classical voice coach followed by at least three years at a conservatoire doing intensive training, if you wish to be a professional classical singer.
What is the number of notes in music?
The chromatic scale ( twelve notes) The whole-tone scale (six notes) The pentatonic scale (five notes)


Dartmouth College President Jim Yong Kim addressed students and faculty Tuesday with some sobering economic news: The school plans to cut approximately $100 million over the next two years. Job cuts-- including some faculty positions-- are a possibility. The Ivy League school is also considering increasing the size of the incoming freshman class by 5 to 10 percent.
The measures are a direct result of an $835 million drop in Dartmouth's endowment.
Students say they hope the cuts will not affect their overall experience.
"That is just such a massive amount but it seems like there are so many excesses that they can cut without actually harming our experience," said John Biberman, a freshman. "For example, they have been talking about building a new dining hall and ours is totally fine, it's totally functional, it's beautiful. Why do we need to build a new dining hall if ours is just fine? They got the new life sciences center up there. So, it is a lot of money but I think you can cut a lot of it without harming it too much."
Kim says the college remains committed to completing the two large construction projects which have already started-- the new Life Sciences Center and the Visual Arts Center.

Drones or unmanned vehicles are becoming a major threat as more and more countries are developing and relying on it. The latest conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia also saw extensive use of drones.
Thus, with the imminent threat of drones, it is important to be able to defend against them in case of a confrontation. While the US Defence forces boast air superiority with its most advanced and lethal fighter jets, it has recognised its deficiency in its short-range air-defence (SHORAD) capability.
“Since 2005, there has been a dramatic increase in air and missile platforms that could threaten US ground forces. The use of unmanned aerial systems (UASs) has increased exponentially, and UASs have been used successfully by both sides in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. Furthermore, fixed-wing aircraft, attack helicopters, and cruise missiles continue to pose a significant threat to US ground forces.,” stated the Congressional Research Service in 2018.
As a result, Congress has already poured billions of dollars to materialise the Initial Maneuver Short Range Air Defense (IM-SHORAD). General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS), who is partnering with Leonardo DRS and Raytheon was awarded a $1.2 billion contract.
Reportedly, the Army’s initial order is for 28 vehicles, $230 million, however, it plans to acquire 180 such IM-SHORAD Stryker systems.
The IM-SHORAD is an air defence artillery to counter threats from UAS and other Rotary and Fixed Wing aircraft.
According to the official document by the Congress Research Committee, the Army requires Stryker combat vehicle as its chassis with an unmanned turret which will include: two Hellfire missiles capable of hitting the ground and air targets; four Stinger missiles for less-well armoured aerial targets in a launcher; a 30mm automatic cannon; a 7.62 mm machine gun; electronic warfare (EW) package to counter selected enemy systems; and a Rada (Israeli) multi-mission radar capable of tracking both ground and air targets.
However, while the US Army is closing to acquire the weaponry, it is reportedly facing several technical issues before the Army can induct it in service.
The platform went through technological issues including the integration of a 30 mm cannon and Stinger missile system with the platform, reported Janes.
“The accelerated nature of the programme, in order to deploy the critical capabilities to the warfighter, presents unique challenges for us to get the capabilities to the warfighter,” Lieutenant Colonel Beau Barker, the M-SHORAD product manager inside the Program Executive Office (PEO) Missiles and Space, told Janes.
“A specific technical challenge is integrating mature weapon systems such as the M299 launcher, Stinger missile system and 30mm cannon,” he added. “Even though each component is mature by itself, they have to be integrated to work as a system.”
David Hambling of the Forbes recalled the bad fate of DIVAD (Division Air Defense), also called Sergeant York, a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun based on M48 Patton tank featuring twin radar-directed Bofors 40 mm rapid-fire guns. It suffered several obstacles in the development and was ultimately shelved in 1985, eight years after the development began, costing $1.8 billion.
“The radar, designed for air-to-air combat, had difficulty with clutter at ground level and mistook trees waving in the wind as targets. During one test it locked onto a latrine fan; in another trial the fire-control computer aimed the guns at a stand full of watching VIPs, resulting in minor injuries as they scrambled for cover. In one test a target drone had to fly over 18 times before Sergeant York could bring it down,” recalled Hambling in his report.
He concluded that even if SHORAD-IM is successful and is received by 2023, as planned, the world would have moved on in terms of the threat it will face since the program was adopted in 2015.

Xcel unveils 300MW S Dakota plan
Wind farm will feature Vestas turbines and come online in 2021
Xcel Energy has unveiled plans for a new 300MW wind farm in South Dakota.
The Dakota Range project has been developed by Apex Clean Energy and will feature Vestas turbines.
It is expected to be operational in 2021, depending on regulatory approval.
The project is the first publicly announced to advance under the phase down period of federal tax credits, Xcel said.
“Even without full tax credit, the project’s cost is low enough to compete with other fuel sources, an investment that is expected to lower customer bills over the project’s life,” the company added.
Xcel chairman, president and chief executive Ben Fowke said: “This project proves we can keep driving the clean energy transition of our supply mix while keeping customer bills low, even as incentives phase out.”
