Like many people across our country, we were relieved to see the guilty verdicts in the trial of Derek Chauvin earlier this week. This was an important step in calling for accountability from members of the law enforcement community and seeking justice for George Floyd and the many other Black men, women and children who have been murdered or harmed in incidents motivated by race, including Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Daunte Wright.
There are many ways to serve the movement of racial justice. Protests take many different shapes and forms. From dinner tables to conference rooms, from classrooms to boardrooms, it takes each of us to work together to make progress. I have been grateful and humbled to see our team, our family of partners, colleagues across the country and elected officials, supporting each other and our shared ideas, listening more and learning collectively.
We can continue making a difference by using our voices to speak up for what is right and investing time and resources to eradicate the deep-rooted effects of systemic racism in our communities. We must continue declaring both that Black Lives Matter and that racism is a public health crisis. The work ahead of us is overwhelming, and it’s evidenced by the many incidents of violence against Black Americans that continue to permeate communities across the country.
George Floyd’s daughter Gianna stated that her father would “change the world,” and we remain hopeful that this week’s verdict will be the catalyst for many positive changes. In Mr. Floyd’s memory, we must continue to work for justice for every American, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, income level, ZIP code, or any other factor.
As an important step in remembering Mr. Floyd and seeking systemic change, we encourage people to call their senators (202-224-3121) to ask them to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act that was passed by the House last month and would introduce important national reforms to reduce police brutality directed at Black men, women and children.
Additionally, we encourage everyone to continue showing their support by educating themselves and investing in nonprofit organizations and businesses that support the Black community. We must also recognize the severe trauma these incidents have created, and allow ourselves time to breathe, process and heal from these horrifying events. If you need community, to discuss history, or to hear personal experiences and ideas on how to move forward together, we have shared some resources below. We encourage you to contact us should you have additional resources we can add to the list.
We represent many different backgrounds, but we have so much in common: community, family, love and human vulnerability. These are our strengths that connect us all and hold our great big world together.

Our concept has been inspired by the “expect the unexpected” concept. Our dual-purpose Wind Turbine, offers a dynamic viewing experience; from up close high-level views of Park Avenue Skyscrapers to unobstructed northern views for the length of Park Avenue and beyond; offering a first time perspective for the public to enjoy. And there is an environmentally conscious twist; it is powered by the wind passing between the buildings towards its strategic location and as the turbine slows down the energy is captured and stored for re-use or deployment elsewhere within the city.
The Wind Turbine offers an even more exciting underground experience. New York City’s below grade infrastructure is an area that rarely gets recognition as an attraction and is never seen from this viewpoint. The bottom of the Wind Turbine’s cycle whisks riders in-between passing trains and back up again, an exciting unique experience for passengers of the Turbine and the train alike.
By locating the Wind Turbine at this specific site, it broadens its uses to the corporate world, drawing tenants of the Park Avenue commercial corridor to take lunch breaks or host creative meetings within the capsules.


Calcium ion concentration is determined by measuring the chromogenic complex formed between calcium ions and o-cresolphthalein. The concentration of o-cresolphthalein is proportional to the concentration of calcium ions, and the linear range of detection is 0.4 to 2.0 mg. In this article, the calcium assay method will be looked at in detail.
O-Cresolpht-halein complexon is the colorimetric indicator of choice in the art
Using synthetic fluorescent Ca(2+) indicators allows scientists to investigate calcium dynamics within cells. TED (targeted-esterase-induced dye loading) is one method that has been widely used in neuronal cultures and cell lines. It is based on efficient targeting of high carboxylesterase activity to the ER lumen. It uses a vector consisting of a core element of CES2 fused to a red fluorescent protein.
This colourimetric indicator is a phthalein dye that is soluble in ethanol and water but insoluble in aqueous solutions. At pH 8.2, o-Cresolpht-halein solution is colourless, while it turns purple when it reaches pH 9.8. It is used in the calcium assay art to determine calcium concentration.
It is based on a novel chromogenic tetracarboxylic acid chelating agent
Calcium concentration is one of the most important parameters to determine the diagnosis of bone disease. Hypercalcemia is a sign of neoplastic bone disease and is associated with numerous malignancies of the bone, including breast, prostate, and kidney cancer. Hypocalcemia is a result of certain medical conditions, including certain medications.
This method uses a chromogenic tetracar plexylic acid chelating agent called Cresolphthalein to measure serum calcium levels. The agent changes colour in response to calcium concentration. The resulting colour represents total calcium levels. The method also detects the presence of free calcium, which is more abundant in nose sweat than in blood.
It forms an immediate colour complex with both ionized and proteinbound calcium
O-Cresolphthalein is an indicator of calcium in biological systems. Its absorption peak is at 575 nm, and its intensity is proportional to the calcium concentration. As calcium is a vital element in biological systems, it is important to measure the concentration of calcium in samples.
The o-cresolphthalein complexon is the colourimetric indicator of choice for clinical calcium measurements. O-Cresolphthalein has been proven to form an immediate colour complex with both proteinbound and ionized calcium. The o-cresolphthalein complex is colourless below pH 8.2, and purple above pH 9.8. In addition, the compound is used in the production of polyamides.
It requires amphiprotic buffers
The Calcium Assay O-Cresolphthalen Chromogenic Method is a chromogenic assay that uses amphiprotic buffers to determine calcium concentration in biological fluids. The reagents required for this assay are water, amphiprotic buffers with a pH range of 8 to 13, and o-cresolphthalein complex. The reagents are pH-sensitive, allowing for accurate measurements of calcium levels.
TRIS buffer is a specialized solution that contains a tris-sucrose-based medium. It is a buffer system that is commonly used for extracellular invertase production.
It has low on-system stability
A single-reagent colourimetric calcium assay based on a novel chromogenic tetracarboxylic acid chelating agent has several advantages over the o-cresolphthalein complexone method. For example, it is much more robust, has a lower pH of 9.0 (compared with 20.0) and has a linear calibration curve up to 4 mmol/L. A chromatographic study performed on 47 human serum samples showed that the method correlated well with an atomic absorption spectrophotometer and that the mean (+/-SD) calcium values were 2.26 +/-0.05 mmol/L.
This method is particularly suitable for calcium assays in cell cultures. It offers a wide range of measurement options and ultra-fast data sampling. It features a high-precision bottom-reading optical system and supports multiple measurement modes. The instrument also features a temperature-controlled incubator, multiple shaking modes, and reagent injectors.


Today’s installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
* Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) announced this morning that he’s appointing Rep. Martha McSally (R) to fill the Senate seat once held by Sen. John McCain (R). McSally will have to run to keep that seat in two years, and given that fact that the Republican congresswoman just lost a Senate race last month, it’s a safe bet Democrats will target this race.
* In the first big retirement announcement of the 2020 election cycle, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) announced he won’t seek a fourth term in two years. As the 2018 results in the Volunteer State helped prove, even the most electable Democrats find it awfully tough to compete in Tennessee, but it’ll be interesting to see whether Alexander is the first of many retirements.
* On a related note, Donald Trump reportedly reached out to Alexander and urged him not to retire. Evidently, the senator was unmoved.
* Less than a week after Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) signed a new measure limiting early voting in his state, progressive groups have already filed suit in federal court, asking a judge to reject the new policy.
* Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., announced yesterday that he won’t seek a third term. The Democratic Hoosier – who’s also a veteran of the war in Iraq and a Rhodes Scholar – has been rumored to be interested in a possible 2020 presidential campaign, and Buttigieg did little to knock down that chatter yesterday.
* As 2018 draws to a close, Gallup’s new report shows Donald Trump’s approval rating dropping to 38%, as his disapproval rating inched higher to 57%.
* And while Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has not yet visited Iowa, the newly re-elected senator has reportedly begun “personally reaching out” to Iowa Democrats. I have a hunch we all know why.

He was spotted last week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas talking about MyConnect Studio app, a platform to allow musicians to collaborate from different locations via their electronic devices.
For the demonstration, he recorded a song live with an engineer based in New York City on a Sony VAIO Tap 20!, according to the Windows Experience Blog.
The new app will be launched on the Windows 8 operating system, he says because it allows the app to be used across multiple devices.
“Windows 8 Allows us to do it across multiuple devices,” he explained to ESPN’s Jenn Brown at the CES. “Now we can do it in mobile in touch screen. We don’t have to configure our app for every device you have. It’s like one size fits all.”

Right away, Roses & Cigarettes Acoustic Sessions feels like home. At the very least, it does to this humble writer, who originally hails from the exact windswept plains and rolling hills so eagerly expressed through sound with their forward-looking folk-rock aesthetic. Capturing a hefty chunk of what instantaneously made artists like The Eagles or Jackson Browne household names during their heydays, a particular nostalgic air reminiscent of long drives across oceanside straightaways immediately begins to unfurl before listeners within their first song’s opening moments.
With an impressive opening set portfolio consisting of dates shared with the likes of Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters and Marc Broussard among others, the future is looking rather bright for the duo consisting of LA’s Jenny Pagliaro and Angela Petrilli. Tired of plodding around the same old covers, Pagliaro picked up Petrilli back in 2013 to form their two-woman band, all in hopes of creating stellar original music together. This new EP, though, is their first release since 2015, before recurring bouts of breast cancer for Pagliaro kept the dynamic duo off of the road for a good while.
Pagliaro has since awakened with an even fiercer soul, crediting music as her primary healer. It shows in the way that she gives herself so wholly to her performances alongside Petrilli on this EP. While Petrilli’s accomplishments here should not be given any sort-of side treatment—she is a stellar guitarist and purveyor of great, infectious rhythmic motions—Pagliaro’s fiery grit drives the release home. They carry a particular swagger beside that windswept Californian soul that even their aforementioned contemporaries can’t quite hold a candle to, undoubtedly carving their own rock-edged contributions to their scene. They’re much more than the standard pub band that tends to “rock” bars at the rate of a dime per dozen—Roses & Cigarettes are the real deal, sweet and smoky all at once.

A continued decline in Macau gaming volume has reflected in its revenues, marking the worst results since July 2010
Macau.- For the 18th consecutive month the revenues from Macau’s casinos have fallen, declining 32.2 percent year-on-year to 16.425 billion Patacas (US$2.053 billion). According to the city’s Statistics and Census Service, its economy shrank by 24.2 percent year-on-year during three months to September.
The result of last month revenues in the special autonomous region of China is the worst since July 2010. Through this current year the casino’s revenues stood at 212.5 billion Patacas (US$26.562 billion), which indicates an annual fall of 35.3 percent when compared to the 328.236 billion Patacas that were recorded in the first 11 months of 2014. The fall was larger than expected by analysts, who predicted it would round 31%.
“Economic contraction in the third quarter was attributable to the continuous decline in exports of services, of which exports of gaming services decreased by 37.4 percent year-on-year and exports of other tourism services dropped by 15.3 percent,” reported the Macau’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau.

As unexpected occurrences go, John Rhys-Davies’ departure from Sliders during the long-struggling series’ third season ranks right up there with the Sun’s rising every day. Rhys-Davies had frequently and very publicly expressed his disdain for the show’s scripts and the way in which series creator/writer Tracy Tormé utilized Rhys-Davies’ popular character, the prickly Professor Maximilian Arturo. However, the actor turning up as Leonardo da Vinci in the “Scorpion, Part I” episode of Star Trek: Voyager just a few months after his final slide-now, that was a surprise.
“I like SF. I love intelligent SF,” Rhys-Davies says in his deep basso voice. “When you come across good writing, and I think ‘Scorpion’ was finely written, it’s a wonderful thing. I had just come through a period where the contractual nature of my job obliged me to take scripts that frankly wouldn’t get past Writing 101. We had the most wonderful series concept with Sliders, but we did everything that had been done before and we did it every damned episode. We did Species. We did Tremors. We did Twister. We did War of the Worlds. We did The Island of Dr. Moreau. It was out of control, just out of control.
“I think Tracy did a nice job early on. We had our differences and we fought occasionally. In the end, Sliders wasn’t the worst experience I ever had. I was just disappointed. Again, I love SF. I’m a passionate believer in Sliders. The series could have been great. The public always understood the idea of Sliders. The public understood that you could go anywhere in the galaxy. The writers, though, would try to graft a Law and Order story, or something they had done or seen before, onto Sliders and just make the characters work around it.”
Rhys-Davies has never been shy about expressing his opinion of the series or the direction in which it headed. And his character? In Starlog #225, he likened Arturo’s role in one story to “walking furniture.” His candor continues. “If you look at the episodes,” he explains, “the guest characters on the show were far more interesting and far better written than the regulars, because the writers really did not understand or have an investment in the regular characters. When, by episode eight, your head writer turns to you and says, ‘John, it’s all right for you to be critical, but it’s very hard to come up with ideas for a show like this, and I think we ought to start revisiting some of the worlds we’ve already been to,’ you just know you’ve hit a level of creative impoverishment that you’re stuck with for the rest of the time.”
Rhys-Davies’ disenchantment with Sliders obviously runs quite deep. The actor even dismisses the “Exodus” two-parter, his third season swan song as Professor Arturo, which involved the Sliders trying to find a new home for the inhabitants of an Earth being poisoned by radiation. Rhys-Davies claims that the Sliders producers purchased his story idea and then bastardized it, in part, by getting their scientific facts wrong. “It ended up having a quasar coming into the solar system,” he complains. “I said, ‘Do you know what a quasar is?’ They said, ‘Yeah, it’s something small and it rotates fast.’ I said, ‘Yes, but it’s actually a neutron star. It’s a collapsed star that has a mass of about 1.4 to four times the mass of the Sun. It’s not big enough to create a black hole. It is immensely dense and, of course, will consequently have an immense force of gravity. You cannot bring a star into the solar system without throwing everything off. And at the end, you’ve got a cluster of neutron stars coming through.’ I also said, ‘This thing about radiation is nonsense.’ They said, ‘But it spins fast!’ I said, ‘Yes, but you have it spinning once every 24 hours.’ Some of them spin 32 times a second. With the kind of radiation that would generate, you can’t hide underground. The radiation would go through the Earth, for God’s sake.’ I just wasn’t very happy with the show.”
That said, however, Rhys-Davies is quick to add that he misses the series and, more to the point, his co-stars, Jerry O’Connell, Sabrina Lloyd and Cleavant Derricks, who portrayed Arturo’s fellow Sliders, Quinn Mallory, Wade Welles and Rembrandt Brown, respectively. Rhys-Davies describes O’Connell as being like a son to him, and praises both Lloyd and Derricks as solid actors whose company he enjoyed. It was, in fact, the cast’s camaraderie that enabled the frustrated Rhys-Davies to stick with Sliders as long as he did. “You could’ve asked any of the four of us and we would all say, ‘I like going to work no matter what the work is, because I get to meet the other guys each day,”‘ he says. “We were very close and we had a perfect working relationship, really. We were tolerant of each other. We were supportive. We were helpful. If someone looked stuck or turned around and said, ‘I don’t know what to do with this,’ or ‘Somebody take this damn line,’ we would help each other. If someone said, ‘I have nothing to do in this damn scene,’ someone would say, ‘Why don’t you take my line?’ Of course, the stuff being so badly written…” Rhys-Davies, clearly attempting to restrain and censor himself, pauses for a moment, then continues. “I’m heartbroken for the series. The last lot of numbers it got were the lowest [ratings] we ever had.”
After slipping away from Sliders in a relatively quiet fashion, Rhys-Davies elected to take some time off. He pursued earning a pilot’s license so that he could indulge in his passion for flying airplanes. He filmed a small role for a TV pilot. And, of all things, he popped up on Voyager as a Holodeck Leonardo da Vinci in that Trek series’ third season cliffhanger finale. In “Scorpion, Part I,” Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) found herself in real trouble as the ship, already traversing Borg-infested space, encountered an alien race even more powerful than Starfleet’s most dreaded foe. Realizing that she might actually have to form an alliance with the Borg in order to eke out even the slimmest chance of survival, a too-tense-to-sleep Janeway entered the Holodeck and sought out the advice of the enigmatic da Vinci in his 15th-century workshop.
“I’ve been a Trekkie, oh, for years. It’s very funny. I call my 29-year-old son, who is in England, almost every week. He said, ‘What are you doing?’ and I told him I was going to do a Voyager episode. He said, ‘Oh, Dad, at last you’ve got a real ‘job! I’ve been a Trekkie all my life. You’ve done some great things, I suppose, but this really impresses me,'” Rhys-Davies recalls with a hearty laugh. “I said, ‘Son, it’s only a couple of little scenes. It’s a cameo, a bit of fun.’ He said, ‘Yeah, but it’s Star Trek. Come on!’ I loved doing the show, loved Kate.
“It was about her trying to figure out how to solve this huge, intractable problem she has. Since she is a fan of da Vinci, and he’s accessible on the Holodeck, she talks to him about creativity and the imagination. It was very touching, because it was about the magic of creativity and imagination and how we can get ourselves in the right frame of mind to let the subconscious create for ourselves. I think the idea to introduce Leonardo to Star Trek was Kate’s. I loved working with her. She’s a very good actress who, once she trusts the actor with whom she’s working, can put her soul into what she’s doing. It was a pleasure to work with her. I certainly think Leonardo will be back. It would be a surprise to me if Kate didn’t want to repeat our experience. We had some wonderful moments together. If the script was as good as the one for ‘Scorpion’ and the timing worked out, I would, of course, love to come back onto the show.”
Another character Rhys-Davies might be reprising soon is that of Sallah, Indiana Jones’ (Harrison Ford) loyal pal in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Steven Spielberg wants to direct a fourth installment in the beloved adventure series, and Ford has agreed to star if a script can be written to his satisfaction. “The presence of Sallah and, therefore, of John Rhys-Davies is wholly dependent on the location of the film’s action,” the actor says. “If it goes back to India, for instance, they would have a hard time getting old Sallah over to India. I would give my eye teeth to work again with Steven and Harrison. I would love, love to do it. In the event that the geography prevents Sallah from playing a part in the story, though, I have nothing but affection for everyone involved and I would wish them nothing but the best on the film.”
John Rhys-Davies isn’t sure what the future will hold for him. It remains to be seen if the pilot he recently shot for Disney will be picked up as a series. There’s no next role on tap yet, and it sounds as if the actor actually likes it that way. “I’m just trying to get my batteries recharged for a while. I’m looking around and will only say yes to things that actually pique my interest as an actor, parts that are very well-written. I don’t care if it’s a big role or just a little cameo in a movie or on TV I just want to play something that’s well-written. Right now, that’s my priority.”

30 Ways to Be an Economist is INET's grantee interview series - INET grantees talk about how they do their work, and how they came to be doing it. This week: Suresh Naidu - Property Rights and Growth: Lessons from Slavery.
Strong enforcement of property rights is good for economic growth, says the conventional wisdom. The link may not be as clear cut, says Suresh Naidu. He and co-investigator Jeremiah Dittmar are digging through court records and newspaper ads on runaway slaves to come up with a measure of property rights enforcement. The hypothesis is that weak enforcement of property rights in people – slavery that is – discouraged investment in slaves and encouraged investment in manufacturing and infrastructure instead. A new angle on the link between property rights and economic growth – this is new economic thinking. Watch video

Cranston’s Riverstone has raised the curtain on show homes that spotlight a new segment in the award-winning community.
Earlier this year, the southeast Calgary community by Brookfield Residential broadened its options for house hunters, launching pre-construction sales on a phase offering front-drive single-family homes with prices starting in the mid-$400,000s, including the lot and GST.
The release offers both homes with a single-car front-attached garage and others with a double-car front-attached garage.
Both styles are built in a zero lot line orientation. Zero lot line homes are built against one side of a lot, saving the homebuyer on land costs.
This adds to its existing releases in the community comprised of estate homes, move-up single-family homes with a front attached double car garage on conventional lots, high-end villas, and townhomes.
Riverstone’s zero lot line homes are by Trico Homes and Brookfield’s builder division. Both builders unveiled new show homes that demonstrate the product on Cranbrook Green S.E. recently.
“There’s been good interest,” says Justin Castelino, Brookfield’s marketing manager. “This segment is really going to make Riverstone desirable for a number of people who may not have had an opportunity to find a product and price that they were looking for before.”
So far, he says it’s been a draw for families, move-down buyers, and people looking to move up from a condo or townhome into their first single-family home.
With this addition to the home offering in Riverstone, Castelino says “we really have something for everyone.”
Brookfield is presenting its 1,664-square-foot Cascade, which has a single-car garage, and the Hudson 2, a split level 2,157-square-foot home with a double car garage. Trico’s are the 2,121-square-foot Harrington, which has a double car garage, and the 1,966-square-foot Beckham with a single-car garage.
Riverstone’s zero lot line homes are being built in a location that’s near a community escarpment and offers quick access to the Bow River. Some of these homes will back onto a green belt.
“The great thing about Riverstone is that there are always park space and pathways close by,” Castelino says.
When it comes to industry accolades, Cranston’s Riverstone is rolling. It won the community development category at the 2017 Canadian Home Builders’ Association-Alberta Awards of Excellence in Housing, and most recently, was named Community of the Year-City of Calgary at the BILD (Building Industry and Land Development) Calgary Region Awards.
Show homes in the community are open from 2 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and noon to 5 p.m. on weekends. Brookfield’s are also open from noon to 5 p.m. on Fridays.

Reviewed by Ro A. (age 8)
This book is funny because she got confused with figures of speech. As an example, when Mr. Rogers told her to dress the chicken, she literally dressed the chicken with clothes. My favorite part is when she dressed the chicken. I also like when Mr. Rogers told her to draw the drapes when it got sunny out. So Amelia got a marker and drew the curtains instead of closing the curtains.
I think you should read this book because it is a very good book. I recommend this book for people who like funny books. I also recommend this book for ages five through nine. I hope you like the book!

History GCSE: The Eichmann Trial and the State of Israel
The trial of Adolf Eichmann was an important moment in the development of the State of Israel which was just 13 years old in 1961.
The television broadcast was symbolic of how the balance of power had changed since World War Two, with a formerly powerful SS officer on trial in an Israeli court.
We hear from historian, Professor David Cesarani, who explains that this was the moment when two Adolfs were seen as responsible for the Holocaust – Adolf Hitler and Adolf Eichmann.
For many people around the world, this was their first introduction to the details of the Holocaust itself.
This short film is from the BBC series, The Eichmann Show.
Due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter, we strongly advise teacher viewing before watching with your pupils.
This short film could be used to stimulate a debate about the role of the Holocaust (1939-45) in the creation of the State of Israel (1948) and how this trial defined the existence and maturity of the state by 1961.
Possible questions for class:
How did the Holocaust change what it meant/means to be Jewish?
Eichmann and his role were not discussed at the Nuremburg Trials (1945-46). Why do you think this was the case?
This short film will be relevant for teaching history. This topic appears in OCR, Edexcel, AQA, WJEC KS4/GCSE in England and Wales, CCEA GCSE in Northern Ireland and SQA National 4/5 in Scotland.

In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the ginger, garlic and onions, stir frequently until the onions are transparent. Add the rice, turning frequently until well coated. Add the coconut milk, water, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for approximately 20 minutes (until the liquid is absorbed.)
Remove from heat and let stand 5 to 6 minutes. Spoon the rice into a serving bowl, add the basil pesto and toss with fork to fluff and distribute the flavor.
For Sushi Ginger- ask at your market's sushi counter. They should be able to give you some. And sometimes they even have little containers of them (or jars) for sale too.

On account of its Boeing 737 MAX planes being grounded, budget airline SpiceJet on Wednesday cancelled 14 flights — a number that is expected to rise to 30-35 on Thursday.
The flights cancelled on Wednesday include those on sectors such as Delhi-Ahmedabad, Hyderabad-Mumbai, Mumbai-Kochi, Hyderabad-Bengaluru, Bengaluru-Madurai, Chennai-Guwahati, Chennai-Port Blair, Delhi-Pune, Delhi-Goa among others. The government, taking cognisance of the flight cancellations, has asked airlines to keep fares at reasonable levels although travel experts believe that a total of 50 aircraft being grounded across airlines due to various reasons will cause a spike in fares ahead of the holiday season.
“SpiceJet is rationalising and optimising the use of its Boeing 737NG and Bombardier Q400 aircraft to address the current situation and minimise inconvenience to its passengers. We are evaluating options for augmenting capacity in the coming days through a mix of additional flights and aircraft inductions. We are sure that our operations will be normal very soon,” the airline said in a statement.
On Wednesday, Civil Aviation Secretary Pradeep Singh Kharola along with Director General of Civil Aviation BS Bhullar met senior officials of domestic airlines to discuss contingency measures in light of the aircraft groundings. “We will monitor all sectors where cancellations of flights take place and ensure there is no predatory pricing, and if fares are found to be predatory then advisory will be issued to airlines,” Kharola said after the meeting.
Fliers will have to cope with untimely flight cancellations
The grounding of Boeing 737 MAX planes by the aviation safety regulator is expected to lead to troubles for both airlines and passengers. With a total of 50 aircraft being grounded due to various reasons, ranging from safety and financial problems at airlines, passengers will have to cope with untimely cancellations of flights. The government and the airlines are working to ensure smooth operations by accommodating passengers on other flights on similar routes and by allowing airlines to induct more planes. While these nagging issues will disrupt operations in the near term, airlines are hoping return to normalcy in due course.
“The airlines have assured that grounding of 12 aircraft will not have a significant impact on the operations and they have drawn up a plan as per which SpiceJet has cancelled 14 flights out of its 520 daily flights. They have been able to accommodate the passengers in their own system. Tomorrow will be more challenging and 30-35 flights are expected to be cancelled. SpiceJet has said that they have increased the utilisation of other aircraft due to which cancellations will be at a minimum,” Kharola added.
Apart from SpiceJet, two large players — IndiGo and Jet Airways — are also facing pressures on deployed capacity due to shortage in commanders and groundings due to non-payment of dues, respectively. Jet Airways on Wednesday withdrew five more aircraft from service owing to non-payment of lease rentals, taking the total number of such non-operational aircraft to 37.
A search on Google flights on Wednesday afternoon for Delhi-Goa flight for the same day showed the cheapest nonstop fare to be at Rs 7,157, while the next cheapest nonstop fare was at Rs 23,122. For Thursday, the nonstop single trip fares ranged between Rs 6,951 and Rs 10,132. Bhullar said that the regulator has cleared SpiceJet’s proposal to induct two aircraft on wet-lease, and that they are expected to join the airline’s fleet by Friday. “Because of this the cancellations will come down,” he added.
“At least 50 planes are out of action or grounded on the domestic front owing to multiple reasons. That is a significant reduction in domestic airline capacity. The additional capacity coming in is not likely to cover this in the short term, while demand is going to be robust over the next few months because of the school holidays season and surging leisure travel. The shortage of planes and high seat occupancies are expected to push airfares north in the short term. The airfares were at least 15 per cent higher this year compared to last year, and owing to the current situation, airfares are expected to rise further this season.” said Sharat Dhall, COO (B2C), Yatra.com.

Three Wishes from a Jeannie
I have three wishes from a Jeannie. I can wish for anything, no catch. My mind races. I refuse to wish for more wishes. That's no fun at all. First, I wish that I could fly. I can soar in the air and do flips, flying higher and farther and faster. I barely use any energy because it's so easy. I tie a bag around myself and fly across Europe, the Alps, Morocco, Russia, India, the Great Wall of China...And I finally land in the West End in London. I take a nice dress and coat(because it's freezing)from the bag and wish for a ticket to see Les Miserables. I sit through the show and enjoy it. When it's over, I have one wish left. I think about it a long time. I know exactly what I WANT to do with the wish. I want to see into my future. I want to know what will happen to me when I'm older. I shake my head. That's not what I need. Whatever my future will be, I will be tempted to change it, or will do something that leads to changing it. This is not what I need. Even though I may want it. I save the last wish. I tuck it in my pocket next to the ticket stubs. Surely, someday I'll find a use for this wish. I sit calmly with it. I think about all the years that this wish will most certainly be sitting in my pocket... All alone... Forever... And a day... I give up. I wish to be able to hop inside books and take the place of one of the characters. I open up 'The Help' for a taste of Minny Jackson's chicken.


Hi All, I have been shooting for more years that I care to remember and have been into firearms for about seven years. I have a Teckel dog for deer stalking and a fabulous black Lab pup 13 months for everything, hopefully. I shoot Beretta Shotguns and have a number of centre fires 243 Sauer Elegance and a Sauer 6.5 x 5.5 mm ( its incredible how accurate this is with my home loads) I also have a 223 Ruger and a 308 Mannlicher. I am out this evening for my first stalk of the year, i will be with my 6.5 x5.5 (moderated) and Teckel. Oh by the way you need to have a good knife and that will be a Rob Bayley Damasteel custom. I went out on Tuesday evening to test the zero on my rifle, two shots at 120 yards and they were on the money. Fingers crossed that the weather improves a little.

Therefore, knowing in advance what customers expect is critical for the success of marketing strategies. We examine alternative predictions regarding the impact of stating expectations before purchase on subsequent perceptions of the shopping experience and the firm. In particular, the present research suggests that asking customers to articulate their expectations can backfire and lead to more negative evaluations of the shopping and consumption experience. A series of field experiments indicate that, compared to a control group, stating pre-purchase expectations leads customers to focus on negative aspects of the shopping experience and perceive the same performance more negatively. The observed systematic negative bias produced by stating expectations is inconsistent with confirmation bias as well as assimilation, contrast, and positivity effects.

text: Hi guys, pleeeease help me with this! I have a JVC mini system stereo, and just last month I discovered I can hook it up to my VCR via 2 composite outputs on the back of the mini system, into the VCR's composite inputs. Just turn the mini system to AUX, push play on the VCR and batta bing batta boom, you have sound that's alot better than the crappy speakers my TV has. The problem is, I've discovered how crumby the color and picture from VHS is compared to DVD's, and so I've tried to figure out how to do this same setup with a dvd player. I have an couple of DVD players, including a PS2, Xbox, and a dedicated Samsung DVD player, and none of them have composite inputs. The Samsung player has composite outputs, but no inputs (It also has an S-video output, and 1 set of component outsputs, 1 coxial and one optical output). So what can I do? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Oh and I don't know if it matters, but my TV is a 24" Sony Trinitron, very very basic, only has the cable input and 2 sets of composite inputs. (The composite inputs don't have the white input though, just yellow and red, not sure why).

Top court refuses appeal by families of Uludere victims
ANKARATurkey’s top court has refused an appeal by the families of the 34 people who were killed by a Turkish jet airstrike on the Iraq border in late 2011 on procedural grounds, around a year-and-a-half after the families filed their individual complaints to the court.
The Constitutional Court (AYM) refused the complaints for “lacking documents,” Murat Arslan, the president of the Judges and Prosecutors Union (YARSAV), announced on Feb. 26.
“While everybody has focused on the Dündar-Gül ruling, the AYM has silently closed the Roboski file. The AYM has refused the application on the grounds that lacking documents have not been completed in the Roboski application, which it has kept waiting for two years,” Arslan said, referring to landmark Feb. 25 ruling by the court which paved the way for the release of daily Cumhuriyet editor-in-chief Can Dündar and Ankara bureau chief Erdem Gül.
“The AYM is like a mehter team [a traditional Ottoman military band]; it takes one step forward and two steps back,” Arslan said, referring to the team’s manner of marching.
A total of 34 civilians, who were allegedly mistaken for outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militants while smuggling goods into Turkey, were killed in what was later termed the Uludere or Roboski massacre on Dec. 28, 2011, in attacks carried out by F-16s and unmanned aerial vehicles.
The Turkish General Staff’s prosecutor’s office in January 2014 dismissed the investigation into the massacre, saying in its ruling that military officers had made an “inevitable” mistake while performing their duty.
The applications by the families of the 34 victims, including 18 children, were filed in the summer of 2014.

By Marisol Bo-oc | 05:43 PM August 30, 2021
The Regional Epidemiology Surveillance Unit (RESU) in Central Visayas on Monday reported four new cases of the Delta variant of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) in Bohol province.
According to Dr. Eugenia Mercedes Cañal, RESU-7 chief, Central Visayas has 26 new cases of Delta variants.
The new cases of Delta variant were part of the samples taken on date of swab from July 9-August 9, 2021 and sent to the Philippine Genome Center (PGC) for sequencing.
Cebu province has 2 cases, Negros Oriental has 4 cases, Cebu City has 13 and Mandaue City has one case. There are two cases of returning overseas Filipino (ROFs).
Cañal said the cases were endorsed to their respective local government units (LGUs) and contact tracing activities are currently conducted by different LGUs.
She added that the mayors, municipal health officers and provincial health officers were also informed of their cases.
The 2 ROFs have been quarantined in National Capital Region (NCR) prior to coming in Central Visayas.
It can be noted that Bohol recorded two Delta variant cases-one from Tagbilaran City and one from Candijay town.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) described Delta as more transmissible than the common cold and influenza, as well as the viruses that cause smallpox, MERS, SARS and Ebola.


March 01, 2023
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration is taking action to limit unlawful imports of xylazine, the animal tranquilizer that is increasingly being found in the nation's illegal fentanyl supply. The drug's mixture with fentanyl, known as tranq dope, is linked to the growing number overdose deaths and life-threatening side effects among people who use it.
On Tuesday, the FDA announced it will restrict importation of xylazine and the ingredients used to make the drug. The veterinary sedative has legitimate uses as a pain reliever and anesthetic in large animals, such as deer and horses, but has become a common contaminant found in drugs like fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine.
Tranq dope is pervasive in the drug supply in Philadelphia. The city has been called "ground zero" for the sedative's wider entry into the nation's illicit drug market, particularly in hard-hit neighborhoods like Kensington.
The FDA's action will create an import alert for xylaxine and its ingredients when they are shipped from overseas to be manufactured for approved veterinary uses, officials said. The FDA may detain shipments that appear to be in violation of the law and will require importers to provide specific evidence that incoming products are properly labeled, not adulterated and are intended for legitimate veterinary uses.
"We recognize the public health effects of xylazine tainting these illicit drugs and are continuing to ensure that legitimate product is restricted to veterinary use only," said Tracey Forfa, director of the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine.
Heroin produces a longer-lasting high than fentanyl. But because fentanyl can be produced in a lab and it is at least 50 times more powerful than heroin, by volume, it is cheaper and easier for drug dealers to acquire. In Philadelphia, fentanyl has become the dominant opioid sold on the streets.
To extend fentanyl's high, it is being mixed with xylazine, but people who purchase fentanyl may be unaware they are buying tranq dope.
Xylazine was first detected in drugs in Puerto Rico during the early 2000s, and here, the Philadelphia Health Department first first found the tranquilizer in the city's drug supply in 2006. Its has become rapidly prevalent during the past decade with the proliferation of fentanyl, which is linked to an increase in fatal drug overdoses nationwide.
Fentanyl was responsible for 71% of the city's 1,276 fatal drug overdoses in 2021, the deadliest year on record, according to health department data. In more than 44% of those fentanyl overdose deaths that year, xylazine also was detected, and xylazine was found in 90% of the dope samples Philadelphia tested in 2021.
Because xylazine depresses breathing, blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature, it often leads to additional complications during a fentanyl overdose. Xylazine can mask the effects of the overdose reversal drug Narcan, making it difficult for first responders to tell whether an initial dose of the drug has worked. This can delay attempts to address urgent breathing difficulties caused by xylazine. The drug may keep a person sedated even after the effects of fentanyl have been reversed, costing first responders valuable time in their efforts to save lives.
People who use drugs mixed with xylazine also are known to suffer from painful skin wounds that put them at risk of serious infections. The medical explanation for xylazine wounds still isn't understood well, since the lesions don't appear in animals who are given the medication. These wounds differ from infections that can result from repeated drug injections, and they often surface on parts of the body other than where drugs are injected
"Xylazine wounds can occur no matter how the drug is taken — whether it's smoked, snorted or injected," Jennifer Shinefeld, a field epidemiologist for the Philadelphia health department, said last fall.
People who use xylazine can become dependent on it, much like people can form addictions to benzodiazepines. This addiction to xylazine can be in addition to the opioid addiction a fentanyl user has.
In response to the increasing presence of tranq dope in Philadelphia, the health department has changed its overdose-response protocols and is working with local organizations that provide treatment for xylazine wounds.
Health department officials believe much of the xylazine supply in the city is diverted from veterinary sources, and it's unclear how much of the tranquilizer arrives in the U.S. from overseas. Black-market xylazine tends to be more pure than veterinary sources.
The FDA's move to restrict xylazine imports is an attempt to address the tranquilizer's infiltration of the U.S. drug market.
"We will continue to use all tools at our disposal and partner with the Drug Enforcement Administration and other federal, state, local agencies and stakeholders as appropriate to stem these illicit activities and protect public health," FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf said.

Focus is on rhythm and beat, not pain during therapy sessions
Newburgh, N.Y. (May 17, 2011) – Two music therapy students enrolled in the SUNY New Paltz Graduate Music Therapy program have given residents at Elant at Newburgh a valuable distraction while undergoing rehabilitation therapy.
Music therapy is often used in nursing home settings to provide comfort to residents by reducing anxiety and fear, provide social support, physical mobility and cognitive productivity.
In the internship program, Qi Yang and Sisi Lin have been conducting music therapy sessions at Elant at Newburgh for two days per week since January specifically for the campus’ residents and patients who need rehabilitation therapy. Both students are residents of China. They sang and played the guitar, tambourine and drums.
For those patients undergoing rehabilitation therapy (due to illness or injury) the pain they are feeling can often make it difficult for the patient to move their legs or arms to complete necessary rehabilitation exercises. However, through the use of music the patient becomes distracted with the music and tempo and forgets about the pain.
Patients performed exercises in different ways with the students, such as kicking a tambourine to the music. They also had an easier time walking during therapy to songs that had a distinctive rhythm or tempo, like “When the Saints Go Marching In,” “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else But Me” and “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad.” The patient concentrates on the tempo of the song, which makes walking easier.
“The students have used a non-traditional approach to foster patient movement,” said Rick Linken, Director Rehabilitation, Elant at Newburgh. “Through the use of music and rhythm our residents undergoing therapy have found a new way to overcome pain and become relaxed. This enables the patient to have better movement and a more beneficial therapy session”
One Elant at Newburgh resident, John Mangano, is often very nervous and jumpy prior to and during his rehab therapy session. His hand shakes, making it difficult to do the rehab movements. The music and song delivered during the music therapy helps John relax. Qi Yang and Sisi Lin have been working with John regularly to the point that John is familiar with many of the songs and requests his favorite Chinese and Korean songs.
“The music soothes me; relaxes my nerves and makes me feel good,” he said. “I am more relaxed and then the therapy (rehab) is easier for me.”
The students have also had a positive impact with many of our residents challenged with dementia and cognitive issues. Heidi Williams, Director Activities, said, “Although these residents may have lost memories they often remember the words to favorite songs. When the students are with these residents you can often see them singing and tapping their foot in time with the music. I have enjoyed working with the students because of the successes and joy I have seen with the residents.”
Elant at Newburgh will continue to work with the SUNY New Paltz Music Therapy program to provide internship opportunities for music therapy students interested in working with older adults.
Christine O’Toole, Vice President and Executive Director, Elant at Newburgh, said, “Our residents have thoroughly enjoyed their interactions with both Qi Yang and Sisi Lin. Not only have the residents enjoyed the music and song, but many have also gained a positive benefit during their rehabilitation therapy sessions.”


In any power control situation, the first step is to determine the current and voltage requirements and decide whether the application is to be three-phase or single-phase. Single-phase controllers will be less expensive that three-phase controllers. Figure 1 shows the calculations to determine power and current.
The second step is to determine the type of control mode (zero-cross or phase-angle) and select the basic features required to enhance performance. Load type will dictate the control mode and features. For example, transformer-coupled loads, fast-responding loads, and loads that change resistance with age or temperature typically require phase-angle control. Table 1 can help you ascertain the type of control mode to be used. If your process can accept it, zero-cross control typically is less expensive than phase-angle.
The third step is to choose a reliable and serviceable controller. Expect more than the obvious. The features highlighted can increase the reliability and serviceability of SCR power controllers.
Adding a filter in the zero-cross detection circuit helps reject electrical noise and is acceptable for some applications. Others -- controllers intended for transformer-coupled loads, for example -- require a precise, noise-immune technique. For these applications, request a phase-locked digital circuit to determine the zero-cross by a voltage integration technique. Transformer load applications require that all SCRs be turned on for precisely the same amount of time to avoid applying DC. The phase-locked self-adjusting digital clock technique provides the means to achieve accurate timing and can be used as is on 50 or 60 Hz applications.
Surge Current.Certain loads -- transformers or loads with a low cold resistance, such as infrared lamps -- can have a large surge current. Therefore, the controller's surge current rating must be adequate to protect the SCRs from damage if they are turned on by transients. Any surge current that may occur is dependent upon the load and the source resistance and is difficult to determine. However, a surge current rating of 12 times rated current usually will provide satisfactory reliability.
Transient Protection.Rapid voltage changes (Δv/Δt) and high voltage transients are common. Under such conditions, the SCRs can turn on, causing undesired surge currents or outputs if proper protection is not provided. Unprotected SCRs can be destroyed by repeated transients.
To prevent damage or failure due to high voltage transients, SCRs should have a high blocking voltage (1,400 V for 480 VAC) and should be protected with fast-acting metal oxide varistors (MOVs). Further protection is provided by a series resistor and capacitor circuit connected across the SCRs to provide a shunt for high frequency transients.
Gate Drive.SCRs are turned on by the injection of current into the gate. The gate's input impedance changes drastically during turn on. Therefore, a gate drive circuit, particularly on large SCRs, is required to inject the desired current independent of gate impedance.
Cooling. An 18°F (10°C) increase in semiconductor temperature will decrease reliability by 50%. In most applications, it is difficult for the user to determine if adequate cooling is provided. Characteristics of adequate cooling design include:
- The ability to operate continuously in a 131°F (55°C) ambient environment with no derating.
- Extremely smooth surfaces on which the SCRs are mounted.
- The use of a thermal compound on all electrical connections to aid thermal conduction and to prevent oxide formation.
- Proper containment of the cooling air such that all of the air provided by the fan passes over the heat sink.
Single Plug-In Circuit Board. Using a single circuit plug-in circuit board greatly improves serviceability. With this setup, circuit cards can be switched from one controller to another when diagnosing problems. Also, use of a plug-in board eliminates the possibility of miswiring during service. An added benefit is if the circuit can be used on all controllers (independent of current rating), only one card is required for spare parts.
Status Indicators. Consisting of small LEDs, status indicators provide information regarding the magnitude of the command signal, magnitude of the load current, and status of features such as overcurrent trip and shorted SCR detection.
Power Connectors. Connectors used to join the supply leads and load leads should be designed to remain secure when field wiring is installed. (The typical installer will overtorque the connectors. If the connectors become loose under these conditions, problems will develop.) The connectors also should be located in a position that it is convenient to use a wrench and apply the right torque during installation. Finally, a design that allows air from the semiconductor cooling fans to pass over the large current connectors will improve reliability.
Long Life Fans. Fans often are required to cool the semiconductors in SCR power controllers. Fans with ball bearings or extended-life sleeve bearings provide better performance and longer life.
Spring-Loaded Connectors. Using spring washers on all electrical junctions ensures a good connection. The resistance of one conductor or bus bar to another generates heat in electrical connections. This heat causes expansion and deformation of the connection and, in turn, can cause the resistance to increase, generating even more heat. The spring applies a constant force to the junction, allowing for expansion. In addition, all connections should have an electrical compound applied to improve thermal and electrical conductivity.
Force-Indicating Clamps. By design, "hockey puck" SCRs and diodes must be squeezed between heat sinks with spring-loaded clamps to ensure electrical and thermal conductivity. To facilitate field replacement and serviceability of the semiconductor, the spring clamps should have a force indicator to determine the proper force.
The next time you need an SCR power controller, consider specifying some of these features. They can add functionality and increase reliability, reducing the chance of unplanned production shutdowns.
