Emissions of salt dust from the shores of saline lakes significantly impact lake chemistry, air quality, transportation, human health, and climate. Quantitative methods for assessing these emissions, however, are still in the developmental stage. We investigate salt pathways from groundwater to dust using an approach that takes advantage of opportune conditions at a groundwater-fed, saline lake in the Nebraska Sand Hills region. The mass of salt in the lakeshore surface crust and soil was measured, as well as in the dust on the surrounding dune field. These data, together with information on the lake hydrology, show that dust emission is an important mechanism controlling lake salinity, even though a mere fraction of the salt crust is deflated each year under extant climatic conditions. Wind data collected at the lake site indicate high wind speeds capable of dust mobilization. Therefore, the physical and chemical bonding of salts in the crust is offered as the primary limiting factor for dust emission rates.

No, not these kind of fans.
Last week, I went to the Chestnut Street boutique down in the Marina in SF to chat with some Beauty Artists for new beauty tips and, as usual, met some of the nicest and most enthusiastic Benefit fans! (I could probably spend all day at a boutique just chatting away.)
First, I met Simmone who has been visiting Benefit boutiques since 1997…talk about a loyal fan! She knew every Beauty Artist in there! On the side, Simmone does makeup for her friends and lives by ooh la lift. She says is really brighten the eye area and works on all skin tones. I’ll take that for tried and true advice. :)
Then, across the boutique, I met Madeleine, who was a longtime listener, first time caller of Benefit. She’s visiting the Bay Area for the summer and stopped in to get her brows done. As a fan on day one, she was excited to go home and try her new eyecon to help with dark under eye circles and a lip gloss for just a treat!
On my way out, I saw Lara, who was seriously stocking up on some Benefit faves. She was more than happy to show me her haul of products that she was taking with her to move to Australia for school! A girl’s gotta have her lip gloss even in the land down under.
Are you a Benefit fan? Share your pic with your favorite Beauty Artist on our Facebook fan page!
Oh, and I couldn’t leave without some tips for myself from Beauty Artist Olivia…
- After applying moon beam, apply sugarbomb over cheeks for a super illuminating shimmering rose-pink look.
- Try “hello flawless!” custom powder cover-up with a damp brush! It gives more of a matte look.
- Get double-duty from your fantail brush and use it to apply the velvet shadow in buns for a softer wash of color.
Thanks again to all of you Benefit fans everywhere! We love seeing your own photos, so share the love.

In The Biopolitics of Feeling Kyla Schuller unearths the forgotten, multiethnic sciences of impressibility—the capacity to be transformed by one's environment and experiences—to uncover how biopower developed in the United States. Schuller challenges prevalent interpretations of biopower and literary cultures to reveal how biopower emerged within the discourses and practices of sentimentalism. Through analyses of evolutionary theories, gynecological sciences, abolitionist poetry and other literary texts, feminist tracts, child welfare reforms, and black uplift movements, Schuller excavates a vast apparatus that regulated the capacity of sensory and emotional feeling in an attempt to shape the evolution of the national population. Her historical and theoretical work exposes the overlooked role of sex difference in population management and the optimization of life, illuminating how models of binary sex function as one of the key mechanisms of racializing power. Schuller thereby overturns long-accepted frameworks of the nature of race and sex difference, offers key corrective insights to modern debates surrounding the equation of racism with determinism and the liberatory potential of ideas about the plasticity of the body, and reframes contemporary notions of sentiment, affect, sexuality, evolution, and heredity.
Modern Sentimentalism examines how American female novelists reinvented sentimentalism in the modernist period. Just as the birth of the modern woman has long been imagined as the death of sentimental feeling, modernist literary innovation has been understood to reject sentimental aesthetics. Modern Sentimentalism reframes these perceptions of cultural evolution. Taking up icons such as the New Woman, the flapper, the free lover, the New Negro woman, and the divorcee, this book argues that these figures embody aspects of a traditional sentimentality while also recognizing sentiment as incompatible with ideals of modern selfhood. These double binds equally beleaguer the protagonists and shape the styles of writers like Willa Cather, Edith Wharton, Anita Loos, and Jessie Fauset. 'Modern sentimentalism' thus translates nineteenth-century conventions of sincerity and emotional fulfillment into the skeptical, self-conscious modes of interwar cultural production. Reading canonical and under-examined novels in concert with legal briefs, scientific treatises, and other transatlantic period discourse, and combining traditional and quantitative methods of archival research, Modern Sentimentalism demonstrates that feminine feeling, far from being peripheral to twentieth-century modernism, animates its central principles and preoccupations.
An incisive, cutting history of how white feminists from Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Sheryl Sandberg upheld white supremacy, and a reckoning with the marginalized women who've continually defied them From suffragettes to sexuality, feminist history is often told as a narrative of women united in the fight against patriarchy. But there have always been limits and fault lines in the feminist movements that centered white women's rights at the expense of all others. As scholar Kyla Schuller argues in The Trouble with White Women, white women, across political classes, have used racism and other hierarchies of power to win their own rights and expand their personal opportunities. Their white feminist politics have come at a great cost, resulting in the sustained exploitation, oppression, and silencing of women of color. The Trouble with White Women details the history of white feminist icons and their counterparts from the 1840s to the present. From Margaret Sanger, who promoted racist eugenics and was in conflict with Dr. Dorothy Ferebee, to Pauli Murray, who fought for a more radical vision of feminism against Betty Friedan's homophobic and racist ideas. Today, that tradition endures. So-called feminists continue to advocate excluding trans people from the movement and promote the Violence Against Women Act that has buttressed the greatest carceral state in the world. But as The Trouble with White Women argues, resistance to these white feminist politics has continually emerged from Black, indigenous, poor, queer, and trans women and their movements for liberation. It is only by understanding this complex legacy that feminism can build a movement that honors the radical work and lives of those who suffer most under patriarchy.
Seeking ways to understand video games beyond their imperial logics, Patterson turns to erotics to re-invigorate the potential passions and pleasures of play Video games vastly outpace all other mediums of entertainment in revenue and in global reach. On the surface, games do not appear ideological, nor are they categorized as national products. Instead, they seem to reflect the open and uncontaminated reputation of information technology. Video games are undeniably imperial products. Their very existence has been conditioned upon the spread of militarized technology, the exploitation of already-existing labor and racial hierarchies in their manufacture, and the utopian promises of digital technology. Like literature and film before it, video games have become the main artistic expression of empire today: the open world empire, formed through the routes of information technology and the violences of drone combat, unending war, and overseas massacres that occur with little scandal or protest. Though often presented as purely technological feats, video games are also artistic projects, and as such, they allow us an understanding of how war and imperial violence proceed under signs of openness, transparency, and digital utopia. But the video game, as Christopher B. Patterson argues, is also an inherently Asian commodity: its hardware is assembled in Asia; its most talented e-sports players are of Asian origin; Nintendo, Sony, and Sega have defined and dominated the genre. Games draw on established discourses of Asia to provide an “Asiatic” space, a playful sphere of racial otherness that straddles notions of the queer, the exotic, the bizarre, and the erotic. Thinking through games like Overwatch, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Shenmue II, and Alien: Isolation, Patterson reads against empire by playing games erotically, as players do—seeing games as Asiatic playthings that afford new passions, pleasures, desires, and attachments.
Explores the intersection and history of American literary realism and the performance of spiritual and racial embodiment. Recovering a series of ecstatic performances in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American realism, Realist Ecstasy travels from camp meetings to Native American ghost dances to storefront church revivals to explore realism’s relationship to spiritual experience. In her approach to realism as both an unruly archive of performance and a wide-ranging repertoire of media practices—including literature, photography, audio recording, and early film—Lindsay V. Reckson argues that the real was repetitively enacted and reenacted through bodily practice. Realist Ecstasy demonstrates how the realist imagining of possessed bodies helped construct and naturalize racial difference, while excavating the complex, shifting, and dynamic possibilities embedded in ecstatic performance: its production of new and immanent forms of being beside. Across her readings of Stephen Crane, James Weldon Johnson, and Nella Larsen, among others, Reckson triangulates secularism, realism, and racial formation in the post-Reconstruction moment. Realist Ecstasy shows how post-Reconstruction realist texts mobilized gestures—especially the gestures associated with religious ecstasy—to racialize secularism itself. Reckson offers us a distinctly new vision of American realism as a performative practice, a sustained account of how performance lives in and through literary archives, and a rich sense of how closely secularization and racialization were linked in Jim Crow America.
2008 Winner, MLA First Book Prize Charting the proliferation of forms of mourning and memorial across a century increasingly concerned with their historical and temporal significance, Arranging Grief offers an innovative new view of the aesthetic, social, and political implications of emotion. Dana Luciano argues that the cultural plotting of grief provides a distinctive insight into the nineteenth-century American temporal imaginary, since grief both underwrote the social arrangements that supported the nation’s standard chronologies and sponsored other ways of advancing history. Nineteenth-century appeals to grief, as Luciano demonstrates, diffused modes of “sacred time” across both religious and ostensibly secular frameworks, at once authorizing and unsettling established schemes of connection to the past and the future. Examining mourning manuals, sermons, memorial tracts, poetry, and fiction by Harriet Beecher Stowe, William Apess, James Fenimore Cooper, Catharine Maria Sedgwick, Susan Warner, Harriet E. Wilson, Herman Melville, Frances E. W. Harper, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Elizabeth Keckley, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, Luciano illustrates the ways that grief coupled the affective body to time. Drawing on formalist, Foucauldian, and psychoanalytic criticism, Arranging Grief shows how literary engagements with grief put forth ways of challenging deep-seated cultural assumptions about history, progress, bodies, and behaviors.
Biopolitics and International Values: Investigating Liberal Norms attempts to provide as profound an understanding of human behavior as possible. It sorts out the subjective meanings we share with other people that define our cultures and the symbolic contexts that surround us all. The book begins with a discussion of the sources of order in contemporary world politics, in particular the intellectual and moral values that have come to prevail there (the European doctrines of social justice and human rights, and the underlying assumptions they make about human fraternity, equality, liberty, and felicity). This is followed by separate chapters that examine the individualistic ethic of the American polity, counterposing the collectivist concerns of the Soviets; discuss the various meanings of equality and the ways in which it has historically been used in political and philosophic discourse. The book also looks at various attempts by political theorists to analyze liberty; examines what a biological understanding of human nature makes of that most abiding and most elusive of contemporary political aspirations; and reviews research into such areas as genetic engineering (particularly recombinant DNA) and the possible consequences this might have for society and politics.

It’s been a monumental week for football as fans are welcomed back into stadiums across the country.
On November 24, the Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that when England came out of lockdown on December 2, teams who play in the ‘tier one’ and ‘tier two’ areas would be able to have spectators.
Events had taken place at venues which piloted the return of supporters in August and September, however they were put on hold due to a rise in Coronavirus infections.
Clubs within tier one would be able to have a maximum of 4000 fans, while clubs in tier two are limited to just 2000. For much smaller venues in either tier, 50% of it’s capacity would be permitted in.
“There was a certain degree of apprehension, But once you got over that it was pure excitement ”
robin sainty, canaries trust CHAIRMAN
Norwich City is one of those teams who welcomed back supporters, They had 2000 in for their 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday on December 5, and will have fans in again for their match with Nottingham Forest this evening.
Among the privileged few at Carrow Road last weekend was the Chairman of the Canaries Trust (Norwich’s supporter group), Robin Sainty. His previous visit to the ground was back in February.
“It was strange, There was a certain degree of apprehension, but once you got over that it was pure excitement.”
“There were only 2000 fans back, but it was a very welcome step back to normality and nice to be part of something again.”
Sainty also sees return of fans as a huge boost to teams in the lower leagues of English football. Many sides are financially dependant on numbers coming through the turnstiles, but due the pandemic that has been unable to happen.
There are still sides who are unable to have fans back at the grounds because they are in Tier Three, but with the new vaccine being deployed, fans and club will be hoping to get fans, or more fans, back in to stadiums as soon as they can.

Piece of life
Just one month left to finish this school session… I’m getting there. And hopefully, I will have more time to bake and share with you.
Cooking has always been a stress reliever for me. Occasionally I’ll take a break from studying to relax in the kitchen. The last recipe I managed to include in my schedule was this lemon pie. To make it I had to split the steps over 3 days… I assure you it’s really easy to make, I just don’t have much time.
About the lemon curd pie
This recipe is one of our family classics. We’ve been making it for years, and it remains one of our favorite recipes. No big secret here, just follow the steps and you’ll get it easily.
I love acidity, so I like this pie with many lemons and little sugar. It may not be to everyone’s taste, but that’s how we like it. Nothing is stopping you from decreasing the lemon and/or increasing the sugar.
Finally, you can add the famous meringue on top for those who love to indulge. Personally I like it better without it, once again it’s just a matter of taste.
If you are looking for a change, you can add 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds to the dough.
Lemon curd pie
For the dough
- 100 g butter (cold, diced)
- 200 g flour
- 100 g confectioner's sugar
- 1 egg slightly beaten
- 1 pinch of salt
- 120 ml lemon juice (fresh) (about 3 lemons)
- 40 g corn starch
- 1 egg
- 300 ml water
- 160 g wugar
- 2 bags vanilla sugar
- 1 lemon zest
For the dough (if you don't have a stand mixer you can do it by hand)
- Place the flour and butter in the bowl of the stand mixer (equipped with the sheet). Beat at low speed until you have a "coarse sand".
- Add sugar, zest, salt and egg. Mix until the dough is homogeneous.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In the meantime, place the dough in the mold. Dock the dough with a fork.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then let the dough cool down.
- Place all ingredients in a saucepan. Mix well (if you have one use a magic spoon whisk).
- Heat over low heat, stirring constantly.
- The mixture will start to thicken after a few minutes. Stop cooking and set aside.
Lemon curd pie
- Pour the lemon curd over the cooked pie crust.
- Put back in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool before serving.

UFC Releases Four More Fighters Including Josh Neer and Brock Jardine
Posted by Joseph Lee on 03.30.2013
After their losses at UFC 157...
MMA Junkie reports that four more fighters have been released from the UFC after their losses five weeks ago at UFC 157. These include Josh Neer (33-13-1 MMA, 6-9 UFC), Brock Jardine (9-3 MMA, 0-2 UFC), Caros Fodor (7-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and Jon Manley (7-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC). It wasn't officially announced by UFC, but all four fighters' profiles were removed from UFC.com. It's UFC policy not to officially comment on personnel or contract matters.
Neer returned to UFC in 2011 for a fourth run, based on his four straight wins (and six wins in seven fights) since his 2009 release. He started with a TKO win over Keith Wisniewsky and choked out Duane Ludwig. However, he then had three straight losses to Mike Pyle, Justin Edwards and Court McGee (by decision at UFC 157). Jardine submitted in the first round of a fight to Kenny Robertson on the preliminary card. It was his second after losing in his debut in June 2012 to Rick Story. He was 9-1 before he signed with UFC.
Manley reached the semifinals (after three wins) of season 16 of The Ultimate Fighter but lost a unanimous decision to winner Colton Smith. At UFC 157, he lost by unanimous decision to Neil Magny. Meanwhile, Fodor was 5-0 in Strikeforce before being submitted by Pat Healy in March 2012. He went to UFC after Strikeforce closed, but then lost by split decision to Sam Stout.
After the release of sixteen fighters in February, Dana White said the company had to make over 100 cuts in 2013. The Feburary cuts include Jon Fitch, who was 14-3-1 at the time.

With the growth of cloud-based services and geographically dispersed workforces, the wide area network (WAN) is the focus of increasing importance. And for good reason. It's the link that connects remote users to networked applications or cloud networks. And even though WAN speeds have increased in recent years, the WAN link is still an expensive resource and a likely bottleneck when trying to provide remote users with good response times.
Enter WAN optimization. Typically implemented using a pair of systems -- one located at the central site and one at the remote site -- WAN optimization devices use a variety of techniques to make your sessions run faster.
WAN optimization: What makes it work
If your organization is in the market for WAN optimization tools and appliances, understand conceptually how they operate to select the best WAN optimization system for your needs.
There are fundamental capabilities and features each WAN optimization system should provide.
In a nutshell, WAN optimization products use a variety of techniques to do two things: reduce the amount of data that has to traverse the WAN and accelerate whatever traffic remains. Reducing the amount of data that must traverse the WAN also cuts protocol delays. The combination decreases latency and allows the existing WAN link to be used more efficiently.
Unfortunately, reading most vendor WAN optimization marketing materials won't help you understand what you need. Where LAN switches are built almost exclusively around industry-standard specifications (e.g., IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, 802.1p prioritization, etc.), WAN optimization devices are above the virtual timberline when it comes to industry standards. Simply put, there aren't really any.
That said, there are fundamental capabilities and features each WAN optimization system should provide, and to ensure your WAN optimization tools' deployment does the trick, look for information on the following:
WAN optimization: Must-have capabilities
Compression. A simple way to optimize your WAN is to scan the data packets in real time and compress the data before sending it across the network. When the associated WAN optimization device receives it on the other end, the data is uncompressed and passed on to the target server via the local area network.
While the compression/decompression functions take time, latency is decreased by the fact that the actual amount of traffic traversing the WAN is reduced.
Of course, the size of benefit you receive depends on your traffic. If your data consists of alphanumeric data with repeated characters or spaces, you are virtually guaranteed benefits. On the other hand, if you are sending backup data that has been compressed before transmission (e.g., .zip archive files), WAN optimization compression probably won't help you. In fact, if the WAN optimization device blindly tries to compress everything, you might even see performance suffer. That's because you will incur latency as the WAN device tries to compress -- but doesn't succeed -- in shrinking your payload in any appreciable way.
Deduplication/Caching. A step up in sophistication from compression alone, deduplication and caching can provide an even more dramatic reduction in data traversing the WAN -- along with commensurate improvement in response time. While implementations certainly vary, the basic idea is that "chunks" of data can be identified and tagged by the WAN optimization system.
Once that chunk -- the nature of which is system dependent -- has been sent across the WAN once, it need not be sent again. The WAN optimization device simply sends the tiny tag across the WAN to the partner system at the other end. The receiving system then grabs the data represented by the tag out of its cache and inserts that into the packet before delivering it to the receiving LAN.
More essential reading
Next step: Don't forget to benchmark WAN optimization tools before you buy
Then, configure your WAN optimizer to work for you, not against you
With the generally low price of memory and solid-state drives, a lot of data can be stored in this manner. The benefit will be directly related to how much repeated data occurs in your WAN traffic. It stands to reason that deduplication can only help when there are duplicates to deal with. Caching is essentially another term for deduplication in this context.
TCP session optimization. Even when you reduce the amount data flowing across the WAN, throughput and response time are often degraded by inefficiencies in the TCPI/IP protocol.
At the risk of oversimplification, there can be significant "wait" time during a session as one end awaits confirmation of receipt from the other. The TCP "windows" allow multiple packets to be sent before waiting. Still, when the maximum number of packets is sent, the sender must stop and wait.
Leaving the WAN idle and unused can degrade end-user performance in much the same way that having an over-committed WAN affects response time.
WAN optimization appliances can insert themselves into the protocol by intercepting these window acknowledgements, among other things. This reduces or eliminates the time wasted waiting for the acknowledgment to arrive from the other end of the WAN.
WAN optimization performance depends on your network traffic
As with other features, the benefit that you will see depends upon your application. Chatty or interactive applications -- like ones that involve ordering or searching -- typically send small packets containing the requests for information. Each packet exchange can involve waiting for the TCP protocol to acknowledge the packet. WAN optimization platforms intercept and proxy those exchanges to reduce application wait times and improve performance.
Ultimately, each optimization tool is designed to mitigate specific attributes of your traffic. If your traffic doesn't fit the profile, your benefit could be minimal.
So when you see vendor claims of "up to 99% data reduction," it is very much a statement that is always followed by the technical equivalent of "your mileage may vary." In the end, it's all about your traffic.
Now that you know about techniques used by WAN optimization vendors to accelerate your applications, you are halfway there. Since the effectiveness of these techniques depends on the nature of your particular application and application data, the selection process has to move beyond a mere checklist. In our upcoming companion article, we walk you through the process of setting up a microcosm of your application environment in a demo lab to determine, empirically, the benefits of a given optimization product.
Next: Before you buy, benchmark WAN optimization tools in your environment.

That’s where the ESPN Game Day crew will in all probability witness their largest crowd ever for the show, and where Kansas State will arguably play their most important regular season game in decades, when they face off against in-state rival Kansas.
Tuesday's a big day for teams in need to resume-building wins with many games providing teams the opportunity to further their causes. Rhode Island, who fell victim to Jordan Crawford in the second half of their loss at Xavier, could really use a win at Dayton to help their at-large chances. The same goes for the Flyers, who have lost two of their past three (both defeats came on the road). Losing to the Musketeers is by no means a bad thing but the 60-59 loss at St. Joseph's could be one that comes back to haunt Brian Gregory's squad if they don't pick up a few more quality wins.
The weekly Bracketology field is based on how the tourney looks "as of this moment." . In late February, I release Bracketology updates daily as the season approaches crunch time.
In order to enjoy success against the top-ranked Texas Longhorns you have to hold your own on the boards. Kansas State, hosting their first matchup of Top 10 teams in school history, may lack in sheer bulk when compared to the Longhorn front line but they had to match (or exceed) the intensity of the visitors if they were to pull off the upset. And thanks to Jamar Samuels and Curtis Kelly they did just that, leading the way in the Wildcats' 71-62 win in Manhattan.
Big Monday delivers one of the best matchups of the week when top-ranked Texas visits the Little Apple to take on Kansas State. Frank Martin's Wildcats could be the team with the best chance to break through the Kansas/Texas tag team atop the Big 12 thanks in large part to guards Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemente. These two have accounted for just over 42% of the team's points and 49% of the team's assists so far and when they get rolling KSU is a tough team to slow down.
With final exams beginning across the country at many colleges, it was something of a light week in college basketball – but that does not mean there weren’t plenty of fantastic individual performances.
Is it time to rank Frank Martin's Wildcats? They had an argument before their game against #17 UNLV at Orleans Arena on Saturday evening and if they aren't ranked following the 95-80 win expect some angry fans in the Little Apple. Guards Jacob Pullen (28 points) and Denis Clemente (22 points, nine assists) took control of the game and didn't let go until the verdict was essentially decided early in the second half. As a team the Wildcats shot 57.1% from the field and made more than sixty percent of their shots from behind the arc while limiting the Runnin' Rebels to 28.6% from distance.

Tips to avoid stick deformationWhen making sticks, we usually face deformations in the middle of the product like small depressions and holes.I’m using this eco packaging on my deodorant stick and the main problem is that a hole is formed in the same way as shown below. It continues until the bottom of the package.
(Supplier images)I know I can heat up a scoop or something and run it over the top of the stick, but the hole would still be below and with use it would be revealed. I want to avoid this situation.
The first thing that came to my mind was putting a sample under refrigeration. Do you think it would work or is the problem something else?
Thank you in advance!

Motorcyclist Dies in Hillsborough Crash
The crash began when the motorcyclist lost control of his bike, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY – A motorcyclist died in an early morning crash on I-275, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
William Ferreras-Mercedes, 33, of Lutz, died at the scene, FHP troopers said.
Troopers said the crash happened about 1:13 this morning (June 8) on I-275 just north of Ashley Drive in Tampa. They said Mr. Ferreras-Mercedes was driving his 2013 Honda CBR-25 south on I-275 at a high rate of speed when he lost control of the bike, which left the road and collided with the center median barrier wall. Mr. Ferreras-Mercedes was thrown off the Honda and hit a light pole in the median. He then landed in the right center lane where he was hit by “multiple vehicles which left the scene,” troopers said. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash.

An essential element
Manganese ore is one of the most processed in the world and it is considered essential in the manufacture of iron, steel alloys, batteries etc. During its mining and processing, a large portion of wastes is produced. Such residue (MnW) was proposed as a filler material in Portland cement.
The effects of partial substitutions of cement by MnW were assessed by compressive strength, water absorption, void index, bulk density, scanning electron microstructure (SEM-EDS). The results showed that replacing cement at 6–8% with the residue increases the compressive strength, bulk density and reduces the voids and water absorption of the samples. By SEM-EDS, MnW seems to stimulate further C-S-H formation by nucleation on the cement surface.
The valorization of this MnW as Supplementary Material helps the environment by giving a destination to a mining waste that occurs around the world, encourages a circular economy on the development of new cement-based products with potential local application without harming their mechanical performance.

POMOLOGICAL TRAITS OF FIG (Ficus carica L.) GENOTYPES COLLECTED IN THE WEST MEDITERRANEAN REGION IN TURKEY
Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Akdeniz University, 07070 Antalya, Turkey
Corresponding author e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.org email@example.com
Fig (Ficus carica L.) is one of the most important fresh and dried fruits for both consumers and food industry throughout world and is produced in a limited number of countries. As a leader producer in the world, Turkey has important fig genetic resources as well. However in most parts of the country, in particular coastal regions, local fig genotypes are continuously subjected to genetic erosion and therefore, it is necessary to determine, collect, describe and also to maintain them in situ and ex situ. This study we aimed to evaluate local fig germplasm in Alanya and Kemer districts in Mediterranean region of Turkey. The results showed that the investigated pomological traits of fig genotypes displayed significant differences within both districts. Fig samples collected from Alanya are more suitable for making marmalade and jam because they had relatively small fruits, while figs sampled from Kemer are generally considered good as fresh consumption due to their relatively big fruit size. These valuable fig genetic resources are under in-situ conservation to use in future breeding programmes.
Keywords: Fig, Ficus carica, pomological traits, diversity.

An Analysis of “The Things They Carried”
1. O’Brien’s story, “The Things They Carried,” is about a Lieutenant named Jimmy Cross mesmerizing and describing the memories he had of his fellow soldiers. Throughout the story, O’Brien talks about the love Lieutenant Cross had for a girl named Martha and the past stories of Lieutenants fellow soldiers. O’Brien went back and forth with Martha and the soldiers but most importantly, he described all the things the fellow soldiers carried with them before, through and after the Vietnam War. 2. I wasn’t surprised with this story much. O’Brien basically described what a person does in the life of a soldier. I could relate to Lieutenant Cross though of how much he missed Martha. I know what it feels like to have a loved one so far from you. But in this case, he was confused if she loved him at all. I was just too curious in why Lieutenant Cross described all the things his fellow soldiers carried. I questioned how much each thing meant to them and why was it so important that he needed to describe each thing. 3. The main character would have to be Lieutenant Cross. The story is written in third person meaning that O’Brien told the story of Lieutenant Cross. We know that he has a deep love for Martha and “he wanted Martha to love him as he loved her” (891). We also know that “Lieutenant Cross carried two photographs of Martha” (892) and when his fellow soldier Ted Lavender died, Lieutenant Cross though he was the blame. I say Lieutenant Cross is a round character. We know much about him and the story is somewhat about him. The story was mostly about past events that happened to Lieutenant Cross and that is why we know much about him and his journey through the Vietnam War. 4. I say Lieutenant Cross is a dynamic character. In the beginning of the story, he had this deep love for Martha and though he didn’t know her feelings for him as it states “he wondered what her truest feelings were, exactly…” (894)....

It includes collaboration centers involved in infertility, thus increasing the quality and effectiveness of treatment, as well as helping to increase the probability of pregnancy in women. Medical Centers guarantee their patients an individual approach targeted treatment using the latest techniques.
centers in Germany are presented in cities such as Berlin, Dusseldorf and Wiesbaden, as well as in the Netherlands, in the town of Leiderdorp. Get to them is not difficult, as all centers are very useful for any kind of transport.
In the centers work is aimed at couples who want to have children and start a family. To do this, clinics, various assisted reproductive technologies and procedures that contribute to successful fertilization, for example:
Everyone knows that the probability of pregnancy in women decreases gradually with age. For patients who are not in a hurry to conceiving a child, especially up to 35 years, the centers offer a service cryopreservation of oocytes, in which cells are removed and frozen and can be fertilized at any time.
Among the services offered also includes a variety of technical possibilities of reproduction, such as:

Twitter was buzzing a few days ago with the posting of a new paper that came out on November 5th in JAMA Neurology. Adrian Traeger and his fellow collaborators published an excellent study looking into the effects of pain education for patients with acute low back pain. It was interesting to read the replies and repost of the article on Twitter with comments such as: “game changer”, “challenging my biases”, “Explain Pain hits a snag”, “education not helpful”, and others.
I thought I would offer a few thoughts on what I took home from the study but could not do it in 280 characters, so here it is in blog format.
One thing I think we all need to keep in mind is that pain is multidimensional and thus leads to being very heterogeneous. The idiom, “If you have seen one, you have seen them all” does not work for a person in pain. When you have seen one person in pain, you have seen one person in pain. We need to move past the thinking that any ONE intervention (pain science education included) is going to be the panacea for all pain related problems. Pain is too complex and multidimensional for that ever to work.
Can ONE intervention be the ONE thing, ONE patient needs, sure. However, ONE intervention cannot be the ONE thing, ALL patients need.”
First, the authors should be commended on such an excellent well-controlled research study. There was a significant amount of effort put into controlling the two different interventions. I encourage everyone to not only download the study but also get the comprehensive Supplementary Online Content provided. They detailed out all of their education that was provided. My only caution would be that this study was done in Sydney, Australia and I think we need to be careful and realize that education should be delivered in culturally competent manner and individualized to the person in front of us because of the multidimensionality of pain. Therefore, education in one region of the world may not sound the same in another. It may actually sound different to two different people in the same part of the world.
So what did the study find? My interpretation was that two one-hour sessions of intensive pain education alone was not superior or inferior to the outcomes of just providing listening, showing interest, and attention of the clinician for those with acute low back that were at risk for chronic pain. Both groups showed some good improvements in pain and function within a few weeks and long term over one year.
Here are my biases that were confirmed with the study results:
- Most acute problems get better through natural progression. Make sure we are providing some reassurance to our patients about this very important fact and do not over treat them.
- Therapist-patient interaction of listening, showing interest, and attention (aka. Therapeutic alliance) maybe plays an important role in outcomes. Both groups got better with listening, showing interest and providing attention. We cannot fully deduce this from this study if that is the case, as it was not designed for that question. We do have other studies that do back up the importance of the therapeutic alliance. What this study did show that by providing pain science education you are able to maybe develop some of the elements of therapeutic alliance to help with outcomes. More research would be needed, but this study leads to some evidence that providing pain science education maybe one method that can develop therapeutic alliance and produce just as a good of result as the “placebo patient education” method. (We can argue if it should be called placebo education, but I won’t go there at this time)
- Our systematic review back in 2016 we found that education alone (which from my understanding of the methods of this study is what they provided) does not seem like the best approach. If anything education needs to be paired with active treatment and other helpful interventions, something we have referred to as PNE+.
- Potentially too much education (intensive 2 hours) may not be needed. In my case report published back in 2013, I provided 20 minutes of pain education to a similar type of patient that might have been in this study. The “fire hydrant approach” of giving intensive education might be better switched to a lighter version of sprinkling in some shorter less intense pain education with PNE+ interventions. Others might argue that we need more than 2 hours to make the changes that are needed through pain education. Only more research can answer that question.
Areas of interest and future study as we continue to unpack pain education’s role in the care for people in pain.
- My first area of interest is to see the other secondary measures (eMethods 5) the authors collected and looks like will be publishing separately in a planned mediation analysis.
- Another is perhaps the idea that pain neuroscience education might be a way of developing a therapeutic alliance? Something that we are currently in the works of investigating.
- The last would be the idea about dosing of pain neuroscience education. How much pain neuroscience education is needed and how much pain knowledge does the patient really need? Do we need 2 hours, maybe only 20 minutes, maybe 2 minutes, maybe none?
For me this was a great study that continues to add to the understanding of how to best utilize pain science education and creates many more avenues for study as we work to understand things further. For me no one study is ever a “game changer”, hopefully I’m always challenging my biases, I don’t think this study shows all education is not helpful, and every study should put a snag into things by creating more questions to explore.
Curious to hear what others are thinking and how their views have been changed or confirmed based on this study. In addition, if you have interest in future study of how to best use pain neuroscience please contact us at ISPI and our Pain Neuroscience Research Group, we are always looking for research and clinic collaborators.

On Saturday, we joined with the New Haven Bioregional Group for an ecological walk along the West River in New Haven in celebration of National Estuaries Day! We had a great turnout of about 30 local residents and elected officials who walked from the Duck Pond in Edgewood Park down Marginal Drive to the newly installed self-regulating tide gates just south of Route 1.
Walkers, led by Save the Sound’s Curt Johnson and John Champion, viewed firsthand the ecological changes in the West River that have occurred since we completed our West River Tidal Marsh Restoration Project in June.
Here are a few great photos from the event courtesy of Maria Tupper of the New Haven Bioregional Group:
Here is the statement we put out on Saturday after the walk:
The ecological improvements we’ve witnessed in the three short months since completing the West River Tidal Restoration Project have been astounding, said Curt Johnson, program director for CFE/Save the Sound. For the first time in years, we are seeing improved water quality and large numbers of fish like menhaden and bluefish using the river above the tide gates. These drastic changes wouldn’t have been possible without NOAA’s funding support. It is essential that the Congress works to ensure that these funds are available to ensure we leverage state dollars, create local engineering and construction jobs, and protect our region’s greatest treasure, Long Island Sound.
As part of the West River Tidal Marsh Restoration Project, Save the Sound coordinated the retrofit of three timber tide gates across the West River with self-regulating tide gates to restore tidal flow, improve fish passage, and increase species diversity in the river. Additionally, Save the Sound coordinated improvements to the Edgewood Park Duck Pond, including the construction of a raised walkway to ensure continued public access to the pond.
The West River Tidal Marsh Restoration Project was one of the two projects that Save the Sound received funding for through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act by the NOAA Restoration Center. NOAA, in conjunction with funding from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Restore America’s Estuaries, and Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, made the West River project a reality.

, KIAMBU, Kenya, Aug 18 – Six police officers and two inmates are being investigated over the death of a teacher from Loreto Kiambu High School, who allegedly succumbed to injuries sustained in a beating within police cells on Sunday night.
Police Spokesman Erick Kiraithe said the Officer in Charge of Kiambu Police Station is among officers who have recorded statements over the death of John Muturi Kariuki.
He said Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere had issued firm instructions for a thorough investigation to be carried out and officers found culpable sacked and arraigned in court.
“The Commissioner of Police wishes to inform the public that if any officer(s) is found to have committed a criminal offence in respect of this death, he will be dismissed and prosecuted,” Mr Kiraithe said.
The deceased teacher who was the Dean of Studies at the school died at the Kenyatta National Hospital on Wednesday morning after undergoing an operation.
He had been treated at the Kiambu District Hospital soon after being released from custody on Monday morning when he reportedly told his colleagues that he had been beaten while in the cells.
An Occurrence Book at the station indicates that he was booked in for an offence of being drunk and disorderly.
He had been arrested alongside seven other suspects and was locked up with 60 other inmates in the cells where he spent Sunday night, according to police.
The teacher was released on Monday morning, after one of his colleagues went to request to be allowed to take him to hospital because he was unwell.
On Thursday, Mr Kiraithe said a note was made in the occurrence book indicating that the teacher had complained of feeling unwell but he did not state if the deceased had made a complaint against any of the officers.
“So far investigators have recorded statements from officers who arrested the deceased, those who were at the report office and the OCS Kiambu Police Station. We are also making arrangements with the family to ensure that the post-mortem is carried out on time,” Mr Kiraithe said.
Police headquarters has pledged to open up the investigation to the family and members of the public.
“The Commissioner of Police has directed that investigations be completed expeditiously and that the entire process be conducted in a transparent manner,” the police spokesman said.
On Wednesday, students of Loreto Kiambu High School staged a massive demonstration at the local police station to protest the alleged beating that led to the death of their Chemistry and Biology teacher.
An official of the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) Mwaura Kamau told Capital News that the deceased teacher was able to notify his colleagues of the beating and they were allowed by police officers to take him to hospital on Monday morning.
“When he called one of his colleagues in the morning, he was in much pain and that is when he was taken to the Kiambu District Hospital for treatment. On Tuesday, doctors there advised that he be transferred to the Kenyatta National Hospital where he died after undergoing an operation,” Mr Kamau said.
According to Mr Kamau, the teacher was operated on after a scan revealed some of his internal organs were ruptured.
“Before he died, he narrated how police officers went to the cells and beat him up because he had been protesting the arrest. We will not let this matter rest here,” he said and vowed that the union would mobilise a major demonstration in the coming days to protest the death of the teacher.

He said the AHTV will open a new chapter in the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem in Malaysia and it encompasses the automotive and mobility value chain, from high-tech global research and development centres and related support services for the new energy vehicle industry in Malaysia.
Geely’s investment was in line with the strategic framework for EV development in the country developed by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), Chang said in a press conference here today, in conjunction with the results of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s recent official visit to China.
"Under that strategic framework, we aim for EV usage to reach 38 per cent by 2040 and this (investment) would be a good start.
"It would help us to build a complete ecosystem on EV and I am convinced that we are able to achieve the 38 per cent of EV usage,” he said.
Chang said two more EV companies from China, namely China Harmony Auto Holding Ltd and GAC AION New Energy Automobile Co Ltd, have also shown interest in investing in the country’s EV development and their representatives will be in Malaysia on April 8 to survey the EV ecosystem.
He said MOSTI will also receive an investment of RM2.5 billion from China’s Shanghai DC-Sciences Co Ltd for the development of a data centre in Sedenak, Johor.
Through Anwar’s visit to China, Malaysia received the highest investment commitment in history amounting to RM170 billion from Chinese investors, as a result of the signing of a total of 19 memoranda of understanding (MoU) sealed between Malaysian and Chinese companies.
"MOSTI received a total of RM32.5 billion out of the total RM170 billion investments received by the country as a result of the Prime Minister’s visit to China,” said Chang, who also described Anwar’s visit as "very successful” - BERNAMA

General Contract Services
Signing complex documents without fully understanding them is risky and could lead to disputes.
Our commercial lawyers can review, draft and negotiate a wide range of commercial contracts. We listen to your needs and provide you with practical advice to ensure that you are not taking on unnecessary risks and obligations. We will point out any unusual terms and ensure that you understand your contractual obligations and the consequences of not fulfilling them.
Our services are not just for business owners. For example, subcontract arrangements in place of employment arrangements have become common. Some subcontract agreements can be very long and complex depending on the industry you are in. If you find yourself in a situation where you are asked to sign unfamiliar and complex legal documents you should consider seeking legal advice. We will provide a realistic estimate of the cost. In some cases we may be able to provide a fixed fee or cap our fees.
If you own a business with others, you should consider having a shareholders’ agreement or partnership agreement to regulate what happens if one shareholder or partner dies or wants to sell their share of the business.
If your business provides goods or services on credit you may require terms of trade which allow you to recover legal costs on an indemnity basis (if you have to sue to get paid) or lodge a caveat over land to secure an unpaid debt. If you do not have a written agreement entitling you to recover legal costs on an indemnity basis then:
- It may not be commercially viable to engage a lawyer to recover debts of less than $10,000 because legal costs (other than Court fees) are not recoverable.
- You may only be able to claim a portion of your debt recovery costs if you need a lawyer to recover debts of over $10,000.
Your terms of trade may also grant you a security interest over unpaid goods and allow you to register a security interest on the Personal Property Securities Register (under the Personal Property Securities Act 2009). Well drafted terms of trade may also protect you in other ways. For example, if you are involved in the building industry, terms of trade can potentially put you in a better position if a payment claim is made against you under the adjudication process set out in the Construction Contracts Act 2004.
Our commercial lawyers can provide practical advice about what you may require in order to advance or protect your business at competitive rates.
Businesses can be operated by sole traders, in partnership, through trusts, by companies or by way of joint venture. Combinations of these structures are often used to minimise overall tax paid, such as:
- Companies owned by discretionary trusts (so that dividends may be distributed amongst beneficiaries).
- Joint ventures between two or more companies which are the trustees of family trusts.
What business structures are appropriate to acquire and run your business is in part a legal issue (for example what is best from a risk, control or succession perspective) as well as a tax issue. That is why we work closely with your accountant to ensure that your business structure is optimal for your specific needs.
Leases and Purchase of a Business or Land
If you are leasing premises, our commercial lawyers can review or prepare lease agreements. We have experience in all aspects of leasing land and can help explain and navigate the intricacies of the Commercial Tenancy (Retail Shops) Agreements Act 1985.
If you are buying land or a business, our commercial lawyers can (in addition to reviewing or preparing sale agreements) carry out due diligence at affordable rates.
When problems arise
When problems arise, timely legal advice and corrective action can help steer you away from potential disputes. Problems can arise in the most unexpected ways such as when a business partner dies or becomes unwell. If you and your business partner do not see eye to eye, you should seek legal advice about resolving deadlocks before they become problematic.
Our commercial law services include:
- Contracts for the sale of business
- Contracts for the sale of land
- Shareholders’ agreements
- Partnership agreements
- Employment contracts
- Subcontract agreements
- Franchise agreements
- Advice on bankruptcy or business insolvency
- Advice on finance related agreements
- Loan agreements
- Mortgages and general security agreements over personal property
- Advice regarding franchises and franchise agreements

Started early 2003 by Jay Knight, Adam Rayner, Oliver Mackrill and Greg Marriott with an aim to push all forms of techno and its sub-genres, promote new artists and Djs from around the world and give the resident Djs a solid platform to push their own sound and style.
Originally held at the dark and intimate Attic venue throughout 2003 but after bringing artists as diverse and original as Pacou to play in Manchester, Locked soon outgrew the space and moved to the bigger Park venue at the start of 2004. It was around this time that Jay and Adam parted company with Oliver and Greg and both parties went their separate ways.
Throughout 2004, Locked played host many high-profile, international Djs including Surgeon, Angela Flame and Dj Amok, helping to push Manchester’s underground techno scene into the UK spotlight. As the reputation of the night gathered momentum and numbers attending the monthly party grew every month, the decision was taken by Jay and Adam to move once again, this time teaming up with Manchester electro crew, Computer Controlled, to take over both floors of the bigger Phoenix venue, Locked’s permanent home from 2005.
2006 saw Locked move to Joshua Brooks bringing djs like Ben Sims, James Ruskin, Paul Damage and Steve Rachmad to the turntables whilst 2007 saw the boys embark on a new project – Locked Records

Electromagnetic interference and compatibility for the autonomous airport
|Coordinator||Luleå tekniska universitet - Luleå tekniska universitet Inst f system- och rymdteknik|
|Funding from Vinnova||SEK 500 000|
|Project duration||December 2022 - November 2023|
|Venture||Advanced and innovative digitalisation|
Purpose and goal
The feasibility study will elaborate on electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in an autonomous and electrified airport environment. The aim is to create a consortium and plan a project with the goal to understand and manage EMI/ EMC in the airport environment linked to the introduction of electric aircrafts and infrastructure such as solar energy, autonomous systems, machines and devices. This will create a foundation for further work with autonomy and electrification in an airport environment where EMI and EMC issues are integral parts.
Expected results and effects
The direct result from the feasibility study is a project plan and a well-connected consortium that shall be able to implement a subsequent project. An additional important result is that the work will provide an overview of the work currently being done by various parties regarding EMI and EMC challenges in the airport environment. The feasibility study and a subsequent project will in the long run also contribute to the creation of a clear and quantitative picture of requirements, as well as form routines and working methods, for work with EMI/EMC in an airport environment.
Planned approach and implementation
The work will be conducted in the form of studies of available documents, meetings and workshops with participating parties, as well as study visits to relevant environments. Four areas will be considered for a continuation project: - Measurements in different scenarios to create a base of understanding for other areas. - Experiments in an active airport environment as a basis for rule and standardization work. - Work with rules, standards, and processes nationally as well as internationally. - Future requirements on monitoring the EMI environment with flexible measurement systems.

What happens in socialization is that the social world is internalized within the child. The same process, though perhaps weaker in quality, occurs every time the adult is initiated into a new social context or a new social group. Society, then, is not only something "out there," in the Durkheimian sense, but it is also "in here," part of our innermost being.
Peter L. Berger, Invitation to Sociology
The following series of quotes may be viewed as representations of the central issues in Chapter 3.
"Were it not for socialization, the renewal of culture could not occur from one generation to the next. . . Both the individual and society are mutually dependent on socialization."
(text, p. 68)
"The cases of Anna, Isabelle, and Genie testify to the inadequacy of our biological equipment for producing a normal human personality in the absence of social interaction."
(text, p. 68)
"We humans, then, are not locked into an unchangeable physical body nor an unchangeable social system; both can change and each exerts an influence on the other. In learning, we modify ourselves by responding; we literally change ourselves by acting." (text, p. 70)
"Communication allows us to establish "commonness" with one another; senders and receivers can come together through a given message. It is this commonness that makes socialization possible." (text, p. 74)
". . . culture may be thought of as the agreed-upon meanings--the shared definitions of situations--that individuals acquire as members of a society. Socialization is the process by which these shared definitions are learned and by which they are transmitted from one generation to the next." (text, p. 78)
"The self represents the ideas we have regarding our attributes, capacities, and behavior. These conceptions represent the heart of our humanness, our awareness that each of us is a unique being apart from other beings and is the same person across time." (text, p. 79)
"Socialization is a continuing, lifelong process. The world about us changes and requires that we also change. The self is not carved in granite." (text, p. 83)
"People locate themselves during the life course not only in terms of social timetables but also in terms of life events--turning points at which people change some direction in the course of their lives." (text, p. 88)
From these quotes, six major instructional objectives may be inferred. They are:
1. Conveying the sociological view of "human nature";
2. Showing the relationship between society and the individual during the formation of human personality;
3. Explaining perspectives on the process by which people determine the kind of person they are (self concept) in relation to other members of their society.
4. Identifying the patterns of change that people undergo throughout their life course.
5. Exploring the patterns of adaptation that people utilize as they experience life transitions.
6. Understanding the meaning and significance of the...

(1963-1971) - Abu Simbel (Egypt) - UNESCO project for relocation of the temples – Consultancy, Abu Simbel, Egypt
As a member of the Committee nominated by UNESCO (1) Porcinai took part with other consultants in the project for the relocation of the Egyptian temples at Abu Simbel threatened by Lake Nasser, the massive artificial reservoir created after the construction of the Aswan dam on the river Nile. (1)http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0002/000202/020286fb.pdf
Porcinai took part in the periodical meetings of the interdisciplinary Committee assigned to the project for the relocation of the temples. After the new location was selected, the temples were dismantled and rebuilt on a plateau six hundred metres to the west and approximately a hundred metres higher than the original site. In view of the underlying religious significance, the orientation and the respective distances from one another were meticulously respected in the move. The surrounding landscape was artificially reconstructed to cover the tunnels and the tomb cells. The technical problems addressed and resolved in the project were of various kinds, concerning the erosive action of the sand on the temples, the consolidation of the surface of the artificial hillside and the airing of the tunnels to prevent the formation of moisture.
