Waiting for the Andromeda galaxy’s stars to twinkle may have extinguished hope for tiny black holes being a significant dark matter candidate
Using the Andromeda galaxy as a huge detector, astronomers have taken a stab at seeing the unseeable — possibly disproving a hypothesis first put forward by the late Stephen Hawking 45 years ago.
According to Hawking’s work, the universe should be filled with black holes that were formed at the beginning of time, when the universe was a chaotic soup of energy just after the Big Bang. Known as “primordial” black holes, these ancient objects are hypothesized to invisibly occupy modern galaxies, including our own, boosting their dark matter mass.
These black holes aren’t the supermassive monsters that lurk in the centers of most galaxies; they’re not even stellar-mass black holes, formed after massive stars go supernova. Primordial black holes are much smaller than that, having leaked most of their mass via Hawking radiation since their formation 13.8 billion years ago. They should, however, still have powerful gravitational effects on the space surrounding them and, in new research published last week in the journal Nature Astronomy, an international team of researchers have leveraged these hypothetical black holes’ space-time-warping powers to reveal their presence.
Or not, as it turns out.
Central to this study is the effect of microlensing. This astronomical method relies on an object passing between us and a distant star. It has been used to great effect when detecting distant exoplanets, or rogue brown dwarfs wandering through interstellar space. Should one of these objects drift directly in front of a star, its gravitational field can create a magnification effect that briefly brightens the star’s light. The gravitational field creates a natural “lens” out of space-time itself, a prediction that arises from Einstein’s general relativity.
It stands to reason that even though primordial black holes don’t generate any light themselves, if you stare at at entire galaxy for long enough, you should see a lot of twinkling stars, or microlensing events caused by the hypothetical swarm of primordial black holes the galaxy should contain. Count the number of events, and you can take a statistical stab the total number of primordial black holes in a galaxy like Andromeda, thereby providing an estimate as to how much of the universe’s missing dark matter mass is made up from these objects.
Using the power of the Subaru telescope in Hawaii, the researchers put this to the test, capturing 190 consecutive images of Andromeda over seven hours during one night with the observatory’s Hyper Suprime-Cam digital camera. If Hawking’s theory held, the telescope should have recorded approximately 1,000 microlensing events caused by primordial black holes with a mass of less than our moon drifting in front of Andromeda’s stars. Alas, only one microlensing event was detected that night. From this observation campaign alone, the researchers estimate that primordial black holes make up no more than 0.1 percent of the total dark matter mass in our universe.
Although this elegant study doesn’t necessarily disprove the existence of primordial black holes — one single event is interesting, but not compelling — it does put a wrench in the idea that they dominate the mass holed up in dark matter. So, the quest to understand the nature of dark matter grinds on and, with the help of this study, astronomers have now narrowed down the search by removing primordial black holes from the dark matter equation.
One hundred and thirty million years ago in a galaxy 130 million light-years away, two neutron stars met their fate, merging as one. Trapped in a gravitational embrace, these two stellar husks spiraled closer and closer until they violently ripped into one another, causing a detonation that reverberated throughout the cosmos.
On August 17, the U.S.-based Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Italian Virgo gravitational wave detector felt the faint ripples in spacetime from that ancient neutron star collision washing through our planet. Until now, LIGO and Virgo have only confirmed the collisions and mergers of black holes, so the fact that a nearby (a relative term in this case) neutron star merger had been detected was already historic.
But the implications for this particular neutron star signal, which is comparatively weak in comparison with the black hole mergers that have come before it, are so profound that I’ve been finding it hard to put this grand discovery into words (though I have tried).
Why It Matters
With regards to gravitational waves, I feel I’ve described each gravitational wave discovery as “historic” and “a new era for astronomy” since their first detection on Sept. 15, 2015, but the detection of GW170817 may well trump all that have come before it, even though the signal was generated by neutron stars and not black hole heavyweights.
The thing with black holes is that when they collide and merge, they don’t necessarily produce electromagnetic radiation (i.e. visible light, X-rays or infrared radiation). They can go “bump” in the cosmic night and no intelligent being with a conventional telescope would see it happen. But in the the gravitational domain, black hole mergers echo throughout the universe; their gravitational waves travel at the speed of light, warping spacetime as they propagate. To detect these “invisible” waves, we must build instruments that can “see” the infinitesimal wobbles in the fabric of spacetime itself, and this is where laser interferometry comes in.
Very precise lasers are fired down miles-long tunnels in “L” shaped buildings in the two LIGO detectors (in Washington and Louisiana) and the Virgo detector near Pisa. When gravitational waves travel through us, these laser interferometers can measure the tiny spacetime warps. The more detectors measuring the same signal means a more precise observation and scientists can then work out where (and when) the black hole merger occurred.
There are many more details that can be gleaned from the gravitational wave signal from black hole mergers, of course — including the progenitor black holes’ masses, the merged mass, black hole spin etc. — but for the most part, black hole mergers are purely a gravitational affair.
Neutron stars, however, are a different beast and, on Aug. 17, it wasn’t only gravitational wave detectors that measured a signal from 130 million light-years away; space telescopes on the lookout for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) also detected a powerful burst of electromagnetic radiation in the galaxy of NGC 4993, thereby pinpointing the single event that generated the gravitational waves and the GRB.
And this is the “holy shit” moment.
As Caltech’s David H. Reitze puts it: “This detection opens the window of a long-awaited ‘multi-messenger’ astronomy.”
What Reitze is referring to is that, for the first time, both gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves (across the EM spectrum) have been observed coming from the same astrophysical event. The gravitational waves arrived at Earth slightly before the GRB was detected by NASA’s Fermi and ESA’s INTEGRAL space telescopes. Both space observatories recorded a short gamma-ray burst, a type of high-energy burst that was theorized (before Aug. 17) to be produced by colliding neutron stars.
Now scientists have observational evidence that these types of GRBs are produced by colliding neutron stars as the gravitational wave fingerprint unquestionably demonstrates the in-spiraling and merger of two neutron stars. This is a perfect demonstration of multi-messenger astronomy; where an energetic event can be observed simultaneously in EM and gravitational waves to reveal untold mysteries of the universe’s most energetic events.
Another Nod to Einstein
The fact that the gravitational waves and gamma-rays arrived at approximately the same time is yet another nod to Einstein’s general relativity. The century-old theory predicts that gravitational waves should travel at the speed of light and, via this brand spanking new way of doing multi-messenger astronomy, physicists and astronomers have again bolstered relativity with observational evidence.
But why did the gravitational waves arrive slightly before the GRB? Well, NASA’s Fermi team explains: “Fermi’s [Gamma-ray Burst Monitor instrument] saw the gamma-ray burst after the [gravitational wave] detection because the merger happened before the explosion,” they said in a tweet.
In other words, when the two neutron stars collided and merged, the event immediately dissipated energy as gravitational waves that were launched through spacetime at the speed of light — that’s the source of GW170817 — but the GRB was generated shortly after.
Enter the Kilonova
As the neutron stars smashed together, huge quantities of neutron star matter were inevitably blasted into space, creating a superheated, dense volume of free neutrons. Neutrons are subatomic particles that form the building blocks of atoms and if the conditions are right, the neutron star debris will undergo rapid neutron capture process (known as “r-process”) where neutrons combine with one another faster than the newly-formed radioactive particles can decay. This mechanism is responsible for synthesizing elements heavier than iron (elements lighter than iron are formed through stellar nucleosynthesis in the cores of stars).
For decades astronomers have been searching for observational evidence of the r-process in action and now they have it. Soon after the merger, massive amounts of debris erupted in a frenzy of heavy element creation, triggering an energetic eruption known as a “kilonova” that was seen as a short GRB. The GRB was cataloged as “SSS17a.”
The Golden Ticket
Follow-up observations by the Hubble Space Telescope, Gemini Observatory and the ESO’s Very Large Telescope have all detected spectroscopic signatures in the afterglow consistent with the r-process taking place at the site of the kilonova, meaning heavy elements are being formed and, yes, it’s a goldmine. As in: there’s newly-synthesized gold there. And platinum. And all the other elements heavier than iron that aren’t quite so sexy.
And there’s lots of it. Researchers estimate that that single neutron star collision produced hundreds of Earth-masses of gold and platinum and they think that neutron star mergers could be the energetic process that seed the galaxies with heavy elements (with supernovas coming second).
So, yeah, it’s a big, big, BIG discovery that will reverberate for the decades to come.
The best thing is that we now know that our current generation of advanced gravitational wave detectors are sensitive enough to not only detect black holes merging billions of light-years away, but also detect the nearby neutron stars that are busy merging and producing gold. As more detectors are added and as the technology and techniques mature, we’ll be inundated with merging events big and small, each one teaching us something new about our universe.
The Pioneer Effect is a mysterious observation of a number of man-made probes that venture through and beyond the Solar System. Originally noticed in the slight drift of the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 spacecraft (launched in 1972 and 1973) from their calculated trajectories, scientists have been at a loss to explain the tiny, yet constant, extra-sunward acceleration.
However, there are other, more mundane ideas. Perhaps there is a tiny fuel leak in the probes’ mechanics, or the distribution of heat through the spacecraft is causing a preferential release of infrared photons from one side, nudging them off course.
Finding an answer to the Pioneer effect probably won’t surface any time soon, but it is an enduring mystery that could have a comparatively simple explanation, within the realms of known science, but there’s also the possibility that we could also be looking at some entirely new physics.
In an attempt to single out whether the Pioneer anomaly is an artefact with the spaceships themselves, or unknown in the physics of the Universe, astronomers decided to analyse the orbits of the planets in the outer Solar System. The rationale being that if this is a large-scale influence, some observable periodic effects should be evident in the orbit of Pluto.
So far, no effect, periodic or otherwise, has been observed in the orbit of Pluto. If the effect isn’t big enough to influence Pluto, does this mean we can narrow the search down to spaceship-specific artefacts?
Not so fast.
Gary Page and John Wallin from George Mason University in Virginia and David Dixon from Jornada Observatory in New Mexico, have published a paper pointing out that the suggestion that the Pioneer effect doesn’t influence Pluto is flawed. Pluto’s orbit is far less understood than the orbits of the inner Solar System planets, as, let’s face it, Pluto is far away.
We simply don’t possess the data required to cancel out the Pioneer effect on planetary bodies in the outer-Solar System to reach the conclusion the anomaly doesn’t influence Pluto.
“Of course, this does not mean that the Pioneer effect exists. It does mean that we cannot deny the existence of the Pioneer effect on the basis of motions of the Pluto as currently known.” — Page et al., 2009
So, back to the drawing board. This is a fascinating study into a true Solar System mystery; bets are on as to the real reason why our interplanetary probes are being knocked off course…
In 2007, a very rare event was observed from Earth by several observers. An object passed in front of a star located near the centre of the Milky Way, magnifying its light. Gravitational lensing is not uncommon in itself (the phenomenon was predicted by Einstein in 1915), but if we consider what facilitated this rare “microlensing” event, things become rather interesting.

Because sports and games so often are framed by statistics and milestones, we tend to overlook that in the context of the American city each of those words has an altogether different and more sobering definition.
A statistic is a death by homicide, a milestone a day of survival.
Alexis Gray-Lawson elegantly straddles the dual worlds of statistics and milestones.
On one side, Cal’s senior guard leads the Pac-10 in scoring, 18.1 points per game. She scored a school-record 47 at Oregon State on Jan. 23. She is Cal’s career leader in 3-pointers — her next will be No. 200 — and ranks third on the school’s all-time scoring list.
On the other side, Gray-Lawson, born and bred in Oakland, a graduate of Oakland Tech, is acutely familiar with the unsettling elements of Oakland’s culture. She knows of teenagers with babies, teenagers with guns, teenagers who steeply discount the value of life. She knows of those who exist in a cellar of despair, longing for a tunnel of hope.
That Gray-Lawson, 22, is thriving at one of the world’s esteemed universities reminds us that even communities where collars are blue and dollars are scarce, a city that has earned a reputation for eating its young can grow seeds that blossom.
As Gray-Lawson awaits graduation in May, when she receives a degree in social welfare, there are immediate matters to address. Such as Saturday afternoon, when Gray-Lawson, along with senior teammates Lauren Greif and Natasha Vital, will take the court at Haas Pavilion for their final regular-season game. All three will be recognized for their contributions to the program.
For Gray-Lawson, this represents more than a special moment. It’s an achievement, for hers is the kind of success story families and communities ought to sing about.
“Everybody seems to think it’s ‘their’ Senior Day, but I think this is Oakland’s Senior Day,” she says. “The people of Oakland made me who I am.
“I’m graduating. I’ve never been to jail. I don’t drink. I’ve never done drugs. I don’t have any kids. All the things said so much about young people in Oakland, I’m not one of them. But I’m happy and proud to be here.”
Yet it’s never that simple for city youth. The temptations are many, the peer pressure constant, making it difficult to remain true to moral principles. Live with it long enough, it’s easy to conclude it’s “real life,” and make the short leap to surrender.
Gray-Lawson estimates she has lost about 30 friends, including a Tech teammate, to violence. Young people who attend so many funerals start calculating odds of survival.
Concluding that your destiny is as a statistic leads many to drugs, either using them in hopes of dulling the misery or selling them in hopes for a quick burst of the “good life.” Even as they know prison — or worse — usually follows.
“Growing up here, you see a lot,” Gray-Lawson says. “And even though people say a lot of bad things about Oakland, it helps you see who you are. But I want to be better. I want to be able to tell kids there are choices. I don’t think people realize so many blessings come out of Oakland.”
Gray-Lawson has reached this point primarily with the guidance of her mother, Roslyn Lawson, her father, Orlando Gray, and stepfather, Kenny Lawson. The parents, preaching religion and education and sports, have been a formidable opponent for the streets of west Oakland.
“Her parents are very involved — in a good way,” Cal coach Joanne Boyle says. “They’ve helped Lexi position herself to be successful after she leaves. To her credit, she hasn’t let the temptations get in the way.”
Gray-Lawson recalls a lengthy talk with her mother about the difference between being raised IN Oakland or BY Oakland.
“I think I was blessed to be raised ‘in’ Oakland,” she says. “When you’re raised ‘by’ Oakland, you are raised by everything that comes with the city. You see the street life, deal with the street life and you’re raised by it. Me, I was raised by my family.”
Yet she has been fortified by neighbors, friends, coaches and classmates. Her considerable basketball gifts, discovered when she was a third-grader who could outplay many of the boys, have opened doors to a world beyond the one in which she lived.
Coming to Cal — after briefly considering USC and Georgia Tech — as a mutual pact made with Tech teammate Devanei Hampton, allowed Gray-Lawson to expand her visions while still tethered to family. She sought to play before her older siblings while watching over her younger siblings as they prepared for college.
There are no regrets. She was Cal’s first women’s Freshman of the Year. Basketball has taken her across the country, to Africa and to Europe; she was the flag-bearer last summer for Team USA at the World University Games.
And now she counts the days to graduation, the hours to her finale as a Cal athlete.
“I’m actually hoping this thing sells out,” she says of Senior Day. “I think people have waited a long time for this. I think it’s for my family and my friends and my community. This is their moment, more than my moment.”

A group of firefighters and police officers in Scranton, Pennsylvania, have filed suit to reverse a layoff decision that they claim violates a local ordinance. Mayor Chris Doherty ordered the layoffs on July 29, 2011 seeking to save roughly $212,000 this year and $700,000 next year.
The suit filed in Lackawanna County Court alleges the mayor “has an undeniable, clear and ministerial duty to maintain minimum staffing levels of 137 and 150 in the fire department and police department” and seeks a writ of mandamus to compel him to rescind the layoffs. Local ordinances specify the minimum levels of firefighters and police officers and the city council has refused to reduce those numbers despite being asked to do so by the mayor. In fact, last December the council overrode the mayor’s veto of the minimum staffing requirement.
According to the data in my Fire Litigation Database, this is at least the 24th suit in the past 2 years where firefighters and/or unions in the US have sought to block a layoff via a lawsuit.

My favourite fish in Cape Town are tuna steak and Kingklip.
They both so easy to find in South Africa. The first one has firm red flesh and the second one white firm flesh. They are dreamed fish to cook because they stay most of the time in one piece and especially if you follow my advice below.
There is no traditional recipe for it but I like it this way…
King klip or Tuna wrapped in bacon and serve with a purée of peas (serve 4)
4 pieces of fish
4 nice pieces of bacon
4 cups milk
1 chopped onion
Place the fish in the milk mixed with the lemon juice and a bit of olive oil for 10 minutes (the milk helps the flesh to stay in one piece during the cooking time).
Wrap the fish with the bacon. Maintain the wrap with a tooth pique
Place the wraps in an oven dish with a bit of the milk marinade.
Place in the oven for 20 minutes at 200°C (thermostat 5).
During this time, cook the frozen peas for 10 minutes in boiling water. Drain the water.
Fry the onion. Blend the peas with the onion and fresh cream.
The quantity of fresh cream how thick you like the purée.
Season with salt and pepper.
Serve the fish with some purée.
Sprinkle the dish with parsley.
You can also add fresh pastas if the peas purée is not enough.
From Kingklip recipe to Voila Cape Town


As the dynamics of aerial combat rapidly evolve, Chinese scientists have engineered a sophisticated air separation drone model that can fragment into up to six drones, each capable of executing distinct battlefield roles and challenging the efficacy of current anti-drone defences such as the UK’s Dragonfire laser system.
2019 AlphaPilot teams announced
Lockheed Martin and Drone Racing League (DRL) have announced the nine teams that have been accepted into the 2019 AlphaPilot Innovation Challenge.
The teams have earned a spot in DRL's inaugural autonomous UAS racing series, the Artificial Intelligence Robotic Racing (AIRR) Circuit, which kicks off later in 2019.
The nine AlphaPilot teams are ICARUS from Atlanta, Georgia; Formula Drone from Los Angeles, California; KEF Robotics from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; MAVLab from Delft, the Netherlands; TEAM USRG @ KAIST from Daejeon, South Korea; Team Puffin with four team members from the US, Sweden and Australia; UZH Robotics and Perception Group from Zurich, Switzerland; Warsaw MIMotaurs from Warsaw, Poland, and XQuad from Minas Gerais, Brazil.
The teams will compete to design an AI framework capable of piloting racing UAS through high-speed aerial courses without any GPS, data relay or human intervention. AlphaPilot teams will battle it out during AIRR's inaugural, four-event season later in 2019 for a chance at winning a $1 million cash prize, sponsored by Lockheed Martin.
An additional $250,000 reward will be given to the first team whose autonomous UAS pushes the limits of performance between human and machine, and bests a human-piloted UAS.
The AlphaPilot Challenge launched in November on the HeroX platform, attracting 424 teams from 81 countries. Teams competed in a series of qualification tests in spring 2019. A panel of industry experts evaluated their technical strategy and abilities in developing image-classification algorithms and performing in simulated racing environments.
More from Uncrewed Vehicles
Advancements in air defence technologies have begun to reshape aerial combat dynamics in the Middle East, as illustrated by recent events involving the Israeli Air Force and Hezbollah.
Both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war have been using UAS for effective low-cost attacks, as well as impactful web and social media footage. Thousands more have now been committed to Ukrainian forces.
The US Army has intentions to develop light, medium and heavy variants of the Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) as part of the branche’s Next Generation Combat Vehicle family.
DroneSentry-X, a cross-vehicle compatible, automated 360° C-UAS detect and defeat device, can offer 360° awareness and protection using integrated sensors. According to its manufacturer, it is suitable for mobile operations, on-site surveillance and on-the-move missions.
Funded by the country’s former president, the new C-UAS systems will be sent to the frontline where they have already been tested against Russian invading forces.

Imagine staying dry underwater for months. Now Northwestern University engineers have examined a wide variety of surfaces that can do just that — and, better yet, they know why.
The research team is the first to identify the ideal “roughness” needed in the texture of a surface to keep it dry for a long period of time when submerged in water. The valleys in the surface roughness typically need to be less than one micron in width, the researchers found. That’s really small -— less than one millionth of a meter — but these nanoscopic valleys have macroscopic impact.
Understanding how the surfaces deflect water so well means the valuable feature could be reproduced in other materials on a mass scale, potentially saving billions of dollars in a variety of industries, from antifouling surfaces for shipping to pipe coatings resulting in lower drag. That’s science and engineering, not serendipity, at work for the benefit of the economy.
“The trick is to use rough surfaces of the right chemistry and size to promote vapor formation, which we can use to our advantage,” says Neelesh A. Patankar, a theoretical mechanical engineer who led the research.
“When the valleys are less than one micron wide, pockets of water vapor or gas accumulate in them by underwater evaporation or effervescence, just like a drop of water evaporates without having to boil it. These gas pockets deflect water, keeping the surface dry,” he says.
In a study published August 18, 2015, by Scientific Reports, Patankar and his co-authors explain and demonstrate the nanoscale mechanics behind the phenomenon of staying dry underwater.
In their experiments, the researchers used a variety of materials with and without the key surface roughness and submerged them in water. Samples with the nanoscale roughness remained dry for up to four months, the duration of the experiment. Other samples were placed in harsh environments, where dissolved gas was removed from the ambient liquid, and they also remained dry.
“It was amazing and what we were hoping for,” says Patankar, mechanical engineering. “My lab likes to defy normal experience. In this work, we looked for properties that manipulate the water phase changes we know.”
The researchers also report that nature uses the same strategy of surface roughness in certain aquatic insects, such as water bugs and water striders. Small hairs on the surfaces of their body have the less-than-one-micron spacing, allowing gas to be retained between the hairs.
“These gas-retaining insects have surface properties consistent with our predictions, allowing them to stay dry for a long time,” says Paul R. Jones, the study’s first author. He is a PhD student in Patankar’s research group.
The Initiative for Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern (ISEN) supported the research.

Don't mind the gap: co-creating impact in the ecosystem of BISCI
In 2019, Maastricht University and the Province of Limburg initiated the set up of The Brightlands Institute for Supply Chain Innovation (BISCI), a collaboration with Fontys University of Applied Sciences and TNO - the Dutch Institute of Applied Sciences. BISCI was founded to accelerate the regional economy's innovative power in the Supply Chain Management and Logistics field. It is organised around the critical economic clusters in the Province: Logistics and Agrifood, Chemical SCM, and Healthcare SCM, and operates through 'knowledge hubs' such as 'greenhouse gas,' 'circularity,' and 'digital transformation.' BISCI brings the business community, academics, students and representatives from various governments to work together through open innovation and co-creation. It is closely linked to MSCM, and today we are talking to Gerwin Zomer and Adriana Saraceni - to explore the intricacies of their roles, gain insight into their daily challenges, uncover the passion that drives them in their work, and better understand BISCI in action.
- So, Gerwin, Adriana, first of all - thank you for agreeing to this interview! Please tell us, what are your roles and responsibilities at BISCI?
Gerwin: My role is ecosystem Director for the BISCI Logistics Ecosystem, which focuses on transforming the logistics industry to be future-proof, aiming to address the question: how can we accelerate some major desirable transitions, such as the energy transition and the transition towards a circular economy?
In my role, I lead and steer the Ecosystem in such a way that we create market impact (economy), social impact (society), scientific impact (e.g. publications, papers, PhD research), and educational impact (feeding curricula, engaging students in the project portfolio).
It's important to note that this multi-faceted impact ambition differs from the typical organisational structure of a university. To achieve impact, it is essential to cultivate a close relationship with industry partners within the Ecosystem, which means mobilising, expanding, and nurturing the network, as well as consistently aligning their business challenges with our innovation roadmap.
The ultimate goal is to develop a balanced and comprehensive project portfolio guided by Innovation Roadmapping and Orchestrating Logistics Ecosystem Innovation principles. By doing so, we aim to ensure that our initiatives effectively address industry needs while driving innovation and making meaningful contributions to the economy, society, academia, and education.
Adriana: I'd say I have a dual role primarily focusing on education and research impact within BISCI. As mentioned by Gerwin, BISCI adopts a joint approach to its mission, which includes bridging the gap between academia and the external world.
As a scientific researcher involved in education, it is my core responsibility to facilitate this connection. I am deeply passionate about providing opportunities for the younger generation to engage in research. I actively incorporate and mentor students from our bachelor's and master's programs, fostering research initiatives that closely align with our industry partners within our Ecosystem. My role focuses on supervising assignments and theses, guiding our students' educational and social development, and striving for both social and educational impact and scientific outcomes.
In addition to that, I take the lead in executing external projects within BISCI's Logistics Ecosystem. I assist scientific R&D in projects such as The Last Mile Delivery under the Holland Robotics Logistic consortium and academic research for projects such as Pioneers (European Union's Horizon 2020 under Grant Agreement 101037564).
- Indeed sounds like exciting and impactful jobs! How did you join BISCI? What was your way to it?
Gerwin: As of 2021, as a TNO expert, I was partially involved in the set-up of logistics activities in BISCI. During a joint strategy meeting we concluded we actually need a dedicated subject matter owner with a strong network to lead this Ecosystem and give direction to its growth. Shortly after that strategy meeting, the BISCI Management Team asked me for the job. Well, the rest is history.
Adriana: With BSc in Economics, MSc and PhD in Industrial Engineering, specialised in sustainable business ecosystems, my research experience of 11 years has been focused on Innovation, SMEs, regional development, and Industrial Ecology, bridging the fields of Economics and Engineering. In 2019, I was a technical lead for an Industrial Symbiosis project in Ireland. Meanwhile, BISCI was seeking experts in sustainable ecosystems, and MSCM required a research project lead with an academic background. Thanks to Dominik, Lieven, and Diogo, after multiple assessment rounds, my profile proved to be the fit at the opportune moment. Currently, my research at MSCM and my role at BISCI allow me to integrate my previous expertise with a holistic perspective on complex systems.
- All roads lead to BISCI! Thank you for sharing! What is unique and distinctive about working at BISCI?
Gerwin: It is pioneering in a highly entrepreneurial environment with nothing in this collaboration institutionalised, so everything is open, everything is possible, but it's all up to you to make it happen! My first observations: MSCM has rather limited experience with applied research and technology-driven innovation. Fontys has little experience with European applied research, and TNO has limited experience and network in the region and with innovation in supply chain management (more focused on distribution logistics). Together it offers all kinds of opportunities but also challenges to overcome.
Adriana: Here, I am granted flexibility and endless opportunities to shape my own projects and initiatives, allowing me to explore innovative ideas. Working at BISCI is a unique experience that diverges from traditional work environments. The collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of BISCI is something I truly value, as it brings together experts from academia, industry, and research organisations. This dynamic environment fosters brainstorming ideas and enables the development of comprehensive supply chain solutions. Collaborating with external partners in academia and industry plays a crucial role in translating our work into real-world applications and making a tangible impact. It is an essential part of what makes BISCI's work truly meaningful.
- Gerwin, what is it like for a person with an industry background?
Gerwin: I worked in the logistics industry for my first 10 years, implementing enterprise software and strategy consulting. There I discovered my heart beats faster when creating impact through connecting people, knowledge and technology. For the last 15 years, I have worked closely with businesses and academia on digital innovations in logistics; I think I have worked with almost all Professors in Logistics in the Netherlands. Some of them asked me to go for a PhD, but I have no scientific ambitions: my field of interest is too broad to concentrate multiple years on one particular topic. And I want to see the results of my work back in society; the route via scientific impact is, for me, too indirect. But I really like applied research. And my industry and consulting experience help me to apply a solid demand-driven end-user approach to innovation.
- Adriana, what about you? What is it like for a researcher?
Adriana: As a person with academic experience, I want to take the chance to make a significant impact by connecting academia with industry, fostering research and educational development, and contributing to cutting-edge projects in supply chain management. Working at BISCI offers a unique and exciting experience. Still, it requires an entrepreneurial mindset, adaptability, and a drive to overcome challenges while seizing the abundant opportunities available within the institute. BISCI operates in a pioneering environment with no institutionalised structures, allowing for flexibility and endless possibilities. With missions to bridge the gap between academia and the external world, this is where individuals with an academic background play a crucial role.
- What are the challenges you face in your work?
Gerwin: Do you have an extra hour? No, seriously, this job is one big 'necklace of challenges'. It starts with convincing the outer world of the added value of an Institute like BISCI. What can we offer that's not yet there? Then, there is the embryonic collaboration between the three knowledge institutes, each with different cultures, different business models, different financial structures and different reasons to join this collaboration. 'Without friction - no shine', we say in the Netherlands; this is indeed the case; luckily, I am not a conflict-averse personality. Then there is this public-private ecosystem with a whole bunch of existing communities with all kinds of vested interests, not always embracing you with open arms. And the funny thing is, I really love this journey!
Adriana: My work lies in tackling the integration of sustainable manufacturing and supply chain innovations from a cutting-edge standpoint, with a focus on nurturing the young generation of students. The young generation of students possesses valuable human capital that requires special attention. And it is challenging! Knowledge resides within individuals, and the conversion of knowledge into practical actions presents a significant challenge in itself. Together with BISCI and MSCM, we are overcoming these obstacles as the organisation acknowledges the need for change and actively pursues business opportunities emerging from these transformations.
- Please give us a sneak peek into a specific project you are working on.
Adriana: Let’s look at the PIONEERS project. It aims to address the challenge of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in European ports while remaining competitive. The project involves four ports – Antwerp, Barcelona, Venlo, and Constanta that will implement green port innovation demonstrations in four main areas: clean energy production and supply, sustainable port design, modal shift and flows optimisation, and digital transformation. The project focuses on actions such as renewable energy generation, deployment of electric and hydrogen vehicles, retrofitting of buildings for energy efficiency, and the use of digital platforms for optimising transportation and promoting modal shift. PIONEERS is a project funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 program.
Gerwin: Next to the different port greening innovations, the project also develops Green Port Master Planning. What is needed to become a sustainable zero-emission port by 2050? In Venlo, this long-term planning horizon becomes paramount in n scenario planning what options they could consider in their upcoming Noordoever Port Expansion plans. Should they opt for green energy production and/or storage, anticipate the circular transition and concentrate, for instance, on consolidation and processing of recycling materials, or should they further boost the modal shift from road to inland waterway transport by a second container terminal operator? What framework conditions are needed to attract, for instance, circular-oriented companies? How could we strengthen symbiotic cluster effects - by realising synergies with a strong agrifood cluster or benefitting from Venlo's connectivity to the hydrogen pipeline networks under development? As such, we help Venlo Municipality to develop the knowledge and capabilities to play a proactive role in shaping spatial planning conditions and strategic business development to make it happen.
- I think, all these options and questions to answer are another good illustration of the 'necklace of challenges', mentioned by Gerwin. Being at the forefront of driving innovation, how do you see the future of BISCI? And what kind of transformation do you expect in business, education, and people's lives?
Gerwin: We're in this together: business, R&D, education, government and society, starting from the belief that we need to change, collaborate and innovate. From business, this means embracing innovation, willingness to share data in a sovereign way, and actively exploring the business opportunities these transitions can bring. R&D within UM needs to make a shift from 'How can companies help me to create scientific impact? 'to 'How can we design joint R&D in such a way that it contributes to business impact and scientific impact?'. The latter requires a business-centric approach, starting from their needs and challenges. Education should deliver tomorrow's transition leaders and managers, also implying to integrate novel insights on planetary boundaries, true pricing, circular economy principles and corresponding supply chain KPIs into the education programmes. This should all result in changing the behaviour of the people, being the consumers in today's linear economy and becoming the users in tomorrow's circular economy.
Most societal challenges we face are complex and multi-dimensional; think of respecting the planetary boundaries of our global economy, the challenges of transition towards a circular economy, and the challenge of reaping the benefits of digital transformation without opening the doors for misuse. I'm pretty convinced supply chain management plays a crucial role in guiding these transitions in the right direction and accelerating the merits of these transitions for the sake of humanity and our planet. And this can only work well in an open ecosystem innovation approach as we orchestrate in BISCI. If the 'BISCI' model appears to be an effective mechanism to crack these wicked problems, BISCI can grow enormously in terms of people and impact. The scientific impact grows in the wake of this.
Adriana: We actively contribute to the ongoing transformation of businesses by promoting innovation and sustainable alternatives. We advocate for a shift in the R&D mindset, emphasising the importance of designing joint initiatives that generate both business and scientific impact. Recognising the significance of education, we prioritise the development of future leaders who possess the necessary knowledge and insights for driving sustainable transitions, particularly the shift from a linear to a circular economy. To achieve this, we integrate novel concepts and principles related to planetary boundaries, circular economy, and supply chain sustainability into our educational programs.
I envision the future of BISCI as a catalyst for collaboration and innovation among businesses, R&D, education, government, and society. It plays a crucial role in facilitating the transition towards sustainable business ecosystems and tackling the challenges posed by planetary boundaries. Recognising the imperative for change, BISCI actively explores business opportunities that arise from these transformative processes.
- Thank you for the insightful conversation! It does feel like such organizations like BISCI, powered by visionary minds, are bringing us to a better future. Some final words?
Adriana: When it comes to education, scientific impact, and BISCI journey, I would like to paraphrase a statement that I often share with my students embarking on the research pathway: “Once, when asked to give his definition of genius, Mr. Thomas Edison replied: 'Two per cent is genius and ninety-eight per cent is hard work’.”
Gerwin: So let the hard work not feel like a burden but as an exciting and rewarding journey! Don’t focus too much on the ‘destination’, which may sometimes be disappointing or frustrating; rather, enjoy the transition journey and have fun!

LIGO Document P1600111-v1
- Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by large gravitational events. LIGO was built to detect gravitational wave signals. By analyzing these signals, it is possible to gain a greater understanding of gravitational waves and their sources, which include binary stars, supernovas, and black holes. Algorithms such as BayesWave are designed to analyze signals detected by LIGO. However, BayesWave remains unoptimized in many areas. By examining BayesWave’s analysis of an injected gravitational wave signal while systematically varying several adjustable parameters, this research further optimized BayesWave for the analysis of gravitational waves caused by inspiraling black holes.

Dear ASG Supporter,
You are our reason. At Aggregate Space Gallery (ASG), we support, exhibit, and advocate for emerging visual artists in the Bay Area. This work is increasingly challenging and infinitely rewarding. We are here for you - and, with your help, we’re not going anywhere.
We are proud of this year’s programming and thrilled to develop new offerings with you in 2018. Here’s some of what’s in store through the end of 2017 and next year:
- Bringing bold exhibitions to life by enlisting our team’s technical knowledge in service of the artist’s vision. Next up, we’re honored to host sculptor and sound artist Ven Voisey’s Hymn/Hum (December 8, 2017 – January 6, 2018). Ven’s site-specific instruments and compositions unveil how background noise can muddy communication. Our main gallery will feature a multi-channel sound installation housed in five 9’ towers.
- Keeping our ear to the ground to champion local artists and spark conversations between them through our Video Open Call 5 exhibition (January 12 – February 3, 2018). For our fifth annual exhibition highlighting the work of Bay Area video artists, we will build a show from submissions gathered through an open call. We intentionally choose to forgo a themed call so a cohesive show may be discovered in the relationships between some of the 60+ submissions.
- Facilitating and celebrating collaborations between visual and performance artists through our Friction / Function performance series (ongoing). ASG is thrilled to continue to co-incubate this multidisciplinary series - in partnership with dance artist and curator Jesse Hewit - that presents innovative performance works in conjunction with ASG exhibitions. The series invites performing artists to study the work of a visual artist on display at ASG, and respond to that work as a live subject. This programming is made possible by the Kenneth Rainin Foundation.
- Bringing you fresh content through surprising media with Eyewash, a new series highlighting experimental animation (ongoing). Each of the events features a film screening followed by a conversation with an artist working in animation - a medium with remarkable possibilities about which we’re excited to educate viewers. The event is hosted by ASG in partnership with organizing artists Meghana Bisineer and Christoph Steger.
All of these happenings are born of an urgent need for collaboration to process, survive, and resist today’s political climate. It is imperative that we make space for invigorating and expansive conversations about where we are, what needs to be done, and what we can do.
With your help, we can keep art ambitious and keep the vibrancy of visual art in Oakland.
Host thought. Host community. Hold this space with us.
The ASG Team

"Indiana Jones and the Video Onslaught" is an article published in issue 46 of Star Wars Insider magazine. Written in the Star News department by Scott Chernoff, it focused on the October 1999 release of The Complete Adventures of Indiana Jones on VHS as a 15-tape series. It mentioned that the adventures were now ordered in perspective of Indiana Jones' life, placing Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom before Raiders of the Lost Ark.
This release also would feature the first THX remastering for the three theatrical films, and the first availability of widescreen versions of the films, and the addition of new interviews with Harrison Ford, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg.
The article lists the twelve Young Indy Adventures that were part of the initial release, and promised that more Young Indy chapters would come on video in the new millenium. A caption for the box art for "Chapter 24: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" reassures readers that the title within the film is still the original "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Completing the Points Piercing Forever quest in Destiny 2 rewards players with the Ticuu’s Divination Exotic Catalyst. This quest has players using Ticuu’s Divination – the Exotic from the Season of the Chosen Season Pass – in PVE and PVP content. The quest is rather straightforward, and once finished, only a few hundred kills with the bow remain before it’s fully powered.
Points Piercing Forever, Ticuu’s Divination Exotic Catalyst
After collecting Ticuu’s Divination from the Season of the Chosen Season Pass (or purchasing it from the Moments to Lost Lights using Exotic Ciphers), speak with Banshee-44 in the Tower to receive the Points Piercing Forever quest. Completing all three steps of this quest rewards the Catalyst, which must then be charged.
Step 1: Orbs of Power, Guardians, and combatants
The first step in the quest is collect Orbs of Power, defeat Guardians, and defeat combatants.
- 100 Orbs of Power collected
- 50 Guardians defeated
- 100 Combatants defeated
Collecting 100 Orbs of Power is rather simple. Follow around other Guardians as they use their Super, being sure to collect the Orbs they generate. You can also use Masterworked weapons to generate Orbs for yourself.
As you complete the first step, you should be actively trying to get Guardian and combatant defeats. Head into Crucible for a few matches, play some Gambit, and just get through your weekly challenges to get this step finished.
Step 2: Calibration data generated and kills with Ticuu’s Divination
This second step of Points Piercing Forever is going to be a little bit more time-consuming. This step requires you to use Ticuu’s Divination to get kills, which can certainly be problematic for those players that prefer not to use bows.
- 200 Calibration data generated
- 50 Guardians defeated with Ticuu’s Divination
- 100 Combatants defeated with Ticuu’s Divination
To get the 200 calibration data, you will need to play the Strike playlist, Nightfall: The Ordeal, Gambit, Crucible, all while having Ticuu’s Divination equipped. Getting PVP wins and completing more difficult Nightfalls will reward more data.
The last two points, Guardian kills and combatant defeats using Ticuu’s Divination, is exactly as it sounds. Jump into Crucible and try your best to get the necessary kills with this Exotic bow. Thankfully, it’s a pretty powerful one.
Step 3: Return to Banshee-44
With the previous step completed, the final step is to go and speak with Banshee-44. He’ll hand over the Ticuu’s Divination Exotic Catalyst, which must then be charged by getting 400 kills using the bow.
With the Points Piercing Forever quest completed you will be the proud owner of an uncharged Ticuu’s Divination Exotic Catalyst. Take the time to charge it up and then swing by our guide of all Exotic Catalysts and Masterwork upgrades so you can get the rest! We’ve also got the Destiny 2 Complete Strategy Guide, which will help you navigate through every bit of content the game has to offer.

‘Do you speak English?’
For British and American girls who travel to a different country, that question is often the first sentence we learn.
‘Sprechen Sie Englisch’
‘habla usted Inglés’
‘Вы говорите по-английски’
What is it like for the estimated two thirds of the world’s population who speak at least two languages? The people who we refer to as ‘bilingual’, if they speak two languages, and sometimes as ‘multilingual’, if they speak more than two languages.
The researcher and writer David Crystal estimates that of the approximately 570 million people in the world who speak English, over 41% are bilingual in English and some other language.
Today’s contributor knows all about speaking more than one language.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) – Wisconsin state Treasurer Sarah Godlewski gave birth to her first child on Tuesday, she and her husband Max Duckworth announced in a Friday statement.
Godlewski is the first constitutional officer in Wisconsin history to give birth while in office. Godlewski, 38, was elected in 2018 and is completing her first year in office. Before running for treasurer, she helped lead the successful effort to defeat a constitutional amendment that would have done away with the office because it has few duties.

Mohsin Abbas urges people to open up about depression
Known for his impeccable acting skills and an impressive persona, the immensely talented, Mohsin Abbas Haider has been winning innumerable hearts throughout his career. Talk about playing Feeka in Lashkara or the ferocious villain in Meri Guriya, Mohsin is unarguably the perfect epitome of versatility. But the treasure of the talent he has does not end on merely acting, the actor is an owner of the majestic voice and has intoned many surreal songs, including ‘Uddi Ja’ from Coke Studio.
The ‘Meraas’ lead actor has recently taken to Instagram and Facebook to tell all his fans and friends that he is suffering from depression. He writes, “Depression is all set to kill me soon. I just wanted to say thanks to the people who caused it.” As soon as the actor posted it, ample fans and friends including, Ayesha Omar, Anoushey Ashraf, Osman Khalid Butt, Ali Gul Pir, Natasha Baig, amongst others have exhibited outstanding outpour of concern, love, and prayers.
However, the Muqabil sensation deleted the post after a couple of hours, only to put up a video delineating his strong message regarding depression. He captioned the video with “Love you All #LoveAndPeaceIsAllWeNeed… P.S. get rid of all those Toxic People in your life.” He started off the video by thanking all his fellow celebrities and fans for their “love, support and concern.” He further reaffirmed that everybody endures depression in a way or another. He continued, “Sometimes we talk about it and I personally felt better after opening up.” He said that he is not that kind of a guy who would reveal his personal life in front of anyone but there comes a moment when you feel it is the “end point.”
View this post on Instagram
Depression is not to be held inside, it is not to be ashamed of and it is not to be kept quiet about. @mohsinabbashaider we are so proud and so happy that you have gathered the courage to talk about this and you are finally reaching out. You are extraordinary and do not let anyone tell you otherwise. We are here and we see you in all your light and glory. ??????????. . . . #mohsinabbashaider #love #support #kindness #depression #depressionhelp #depressionawareness #help #instadaily #graziapak #graziapk
In the last few seconds of the video, Mohsin urged people to speak up about depression in lieu of staying silent because “it helps.” This motivational video got huge positive feedback from not only his fans but from his friends in the fraternity also.
The gorgeous, Ayesha Omar, the supermodel, Nadia Hussain, the enchantress, Natasha Baig, the surreal, Sadaf Kanwal and the stylish, Mathira instantly commented to express their love and admiration for the actor.
We are glad Mohsin opened up and we are certain that he will enthrall the Pakistani media industry with a plethora of his captivating performances. More power to you Mohsin!

This large and attractive market town sits high up in the mountains tucked away behind the tourist traps of the Costa del Sol. Fortunately it has escaped the mass-tourism of nearby Torre del Mar and Fuengirola; for that reason it is a peaceful and friendly town with lots to see and do.
The must see places are the 13th century tower of La Fortaleza - the most prominent remnant of Vélez Málaga's Moorish past which dominates a hill overlooking the town. On a clear day you can see right down the Mediterranean coast towards Málaga in the west and Almería in the east. There are also the numerous churches to see - such as the 15th century Santa María la Mayor church, the church of Señora de la Encarnación and finally San Juan la Baptista.
Don't miss the 16th century Palacio del Marques de Beniel, the Moorish-built walls of the old Arab quarter and the town's two convents - Convento de Jesús and Convento de las Carmelitas with it's eighteenth century paintings.
Vélez Málaga is only 30km east of Málaga itself so it makes for an excellent day trip from there. There is also a tram link running between Torre del Mar (just 4km away) and Vélez. Almost all of the buses which take the slower mountain road between Málaga and Granada rather than the quicker N340 and N232 stop at Vélez Málaga. The journey time from Málaga is approx 40 mins.
Spain is a one-hour ferry ride away from Africa. We were a little worried about our safety, but we thought that maybe we could take the ferry across, walk briefly on African soil, and take the next ferry back to Spain. We talked it over and decided to go for it.
We drove the rental car from Malaga to Algeciras and parked it in an all-day lot (for 19 euros). There are two ferries. One takes an hour to cross, and the other takes two and a half hours. We boarded the faster ferry (two adults for 102.30 euros) and waited for the departure. The ferry sat for an hour before finally leaving. As it turned out, that was the best thing that could have happened to us. While we were waiting to leave, we started talking to a man named Habibi and his wife and eight-year-old daughter, they were on vacation from their home in Birmingham, England, to visit his family, who still live in Tangier, Morocco. We asked Habibi for a private guide, two hours later, when we arrived in Tangier, we helped carry their luggage to the parking area where they were met by Habibi’s brother.
To our surprise, Habibi sent his wife and daughter with his brother and told us he wanted to join us to see Tangier. Using his cell phone, he reached one of his old friends Benny, a licensed guide who picked us up with his air conditioned car.
They drove us all around the city highlights and up into the hills to see the mayor’s home and the king’s palace. He talked a man with camels into letting us ride on them. Then we returned to the city where he led us through the oldest part, the Kasbah, Medina and Berber Souks. We visited a famous hotel where American and English actors stayed while filming in the area. He spent the entire day and most of the evening showing us the city he grew up in and obviously is still in love with.
We had such a great time that our new friend had to remind us that the last ferry back to Spain leaves at 11pm. He and his Guide/drove us back to the ferry building, made sure we got our passports stamped, walked us to the boat and made sure we were safely aboard before they left to join their families.
The last ferry back was a slow one and took two and a half hours to make the crossing. We drove the rental car back to our resort. Thanks to Habibi, we had a wonderful time visit.
Salobreña is the weekend getaway for the people of Granada, but despite this, its sandy beach is quiet. The locals are very friendly, and the town itself is pretty, with a castle and a less commercialised atmosphere than nearby Malaga and Nerja.
Regular buses from Granada, which is 80km (50 minutes) away.

Puppies begin teething between the age of three to 6 months. When your pet grabs the toy, start transferring once more. Your puppy’s eyes and ears start to open, though vision and listening to may be poor at first. By age three weeks, puppy improvement advances from the neonatal interval to the transitional period. They learn what their mother and other canine look and sound like, and start to increase their own vocabulary from grunts and mews to yelps, whines, and barks.
We encourage guests to browse our puppy image archives to take a look at all of the cute pictures of previous day by day puppies , and to bookmark this web page and go to typically to see what cutie-pie graces the entrance web page. Puppies typically undergo a “fear period” throughout this time. Scientists aren’t fully positive how wolves advanced into dogs, however new research into the genetic and social habits of wolf pups may provide some clues.
Usually talking, a pet can management their bladder one hour for every month of age. Now let’s find the appropriate breed for you from a breeder in your area and get you started down the path to accountable canine ownership. To verify your pup grows right into a dog who’s a pleasure to live with, it is advisable to give him numerous consideration, training, and socialization to people and other canines.
Right here you may see a timeline of your puppy’s development and what to expect at key ages of their development. The rate of puppy improvement additionally varies from breed to breed. (Make certain that the room is pet-proofed” earlier than you permit your puppy alone in it. Don’t depart him in an space with issues he may destroy or issues that may hurt him.) After the temporary time-out, return to the room and calmly resume no matter you have been doing along with your puppy.
As they reach one month of age, puppies are steadily weaned and begin to eat stable food. Then, as an alternative of leaving the room when your pet mouths you, you possibly can clutch his leash and lead him to a quiet area, tether him, and turn your again to him for the brief time-out. Puppies will want bottle or syringe feeding every few hours for a number of weeks.

When Lucinda Williams was in elementary school, all the other kids brought rock collections and other standard fare to show-and-tell. But she brought a folder. "I put this notebook together of seven poems and a short story by Cindy Williams," she remembers. Decades later, she's still documenting her impressions of the world, now in raw, often mournful songs that explore death, heartbreak, abandonment, and love. Many of her them are based in the American south, where Lucinda grew up—including those on her latest album The Ghosts of Highway 20. "I know these roads like the back of my hand," she sings on the title track.
Lucinda's father was Miller Williams, a prolific southern poet. Her mother, Lucille, was a pianist. They split up when Lucinda was about ten. "That's all just kind of a big blur," Lucinda says about that time. Her mother had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenic tendencies, and she spent most of her life in therapy or mental hospitals. Her father took over Lucinda and her two siblings, and tried to help them understand that their mother was sick. "My dad was actually quite protective of her, and he would say, 'It's not her fault, she's not well,'" Lucinda told me. "There's a part of that that's healthy; the only problem is that I never gave myself permission to be angry at my mother."
Lucinda was close to her father throughout her life. He encouraged her interest in words and writing, even taking her to visit Flannery O'Connor when she was a little girl. So it was especially hard for her to see him go through Alzheimer's disease. He died last year, less than six months after the summer day when he told Lucinda he couldn't write poetry anymore. "I just sat there and just cried," she remembers. "That was when I lost him."
At 63, Lucinda says she's more successful than ever, selling out shows on the road and happily in love with her manager Tom Overby, whom she married on stage during an encore in 2009. But, she told me, getting older can still feel like a drag. "I don't like the aging process. I don't like getting older because of all the loss. It just gets harder and harder."
See the video on Lucinda's Facebook page of her performance of "Compassion" at her father's home before he died. Miller Williams reads his poem, and Lucinda follows by singing her musical interpretation.

Some people are just made for success. Close your eyes and picture a successful person. What do you see? If you are like most people, you picture someone who is strong, independent, not afraid to say what they need to, and, nine times out of ten, that person is attractive. Think about it. How many unattractive successful people do you see in the news? Sure, some are out there, but the great majority have one thing in common: They are beautiful. Here is why beautiful people are more confident and successful than the rest.
It starts from birth. They say all babies are cute, but in the opinions of others, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A child who is consistently described as the “cute one” when compared to others will often be treated in a better manner by those around that child growing up and receive less harsh criticism throughout life. This is not to say the child will not grow up to be spoiled, however, but spoiled or not, it is highly likely that child will be confident and willing to take risks. Keep in mind that confidence does not mean polite or kind. Confidence means success.
The Halo Effect
If you go through life receiving positive feedback on everything you do, odds are you will feel more confident in all aspects of your life. If you are being treated and told that you can do no wrong, at some point you are going to believe it.
Experts attribute it to the “Halo Effect.” This theory is known as the phenomenon of when an individual goes through life being constantly praised, whether that praise is deserved or not, that individual then goes through life with an inner belief and sense of self confidence that he or she will be successful, intelligent and well-liked. Studies have even shown that teachers tend to give more attention and praise to their better-looking students and that good-looking patients receive more personalized treatment from their doctors.
This treatment can even extend to how we, as society, treat criminals who are more attractive. Convicted criminal, Jeremy Meeks, walked out of prison after 27-months with a full modeling contract. His notorious “beautiful criminal” mugshot, pasted all over the news upon the time of his arrest far overshadowed the fact that he had committed a firearms crime. He became known as the criminal with the beautiful face instead.
Trust Me, I’m Beautiful
Whether it is deserved or not, experts say that individuals who are deemed as attractive are considered to be more trustworthy than those with average or below-average looks. Studies have shown that baby-faced women who gave the same or similar speeches as women who have more mature or “tough” faces were considered more persuasive and more trustworthy. However, they gave the same speech. How is that possible? Perhaps this is why the cute kids could always get away with murder growing up while the rest were punished for doing the same thing.
Success in Politics
Think of the Kennedy-Nixon presidential debates. The debate was one of the first televised debate in U.S. history. People could see the candidates in real time, and like it or not, the candidates were not just judged on their responses to questions. People compared the young, vibrant John F. Kennedy to the older, rougher around the edges, Richard Nixon. Viewers paid attention to the words, but they also judged the candidates on their appearances as they responded. Was it fair? Arguably not, but Kennedy was considered to be the more sincere and warm candidate. That judgment went a lot way in the end.
In the late 1990s movie She’s All That, the main character began the movie as awkward, shy, and unpopular. She had glasses, she wore awkward clothes and hung out with the art kids. Therefore, she was unpopular. All it took was one makeover, and she suddenly became desirable, successful, and able to take on the school. However, she was the same person. It was not until she was “beautiful” that she stepped out of her shell and became social with other students. It is indicative of society’s view on the beautiful. The popular kids are usually attractive and confident while the nerds are quiet, reserved and awkward. Beauty equals popularity and success, at least in the high school setting. Odds are, many of the “ugly” and unpopular kids will go onto to success, but for that small period of time, it is the beautiful who are the confident and strong.
At the end of the day, right or wrong, it is hard to deny. Beauty so often equals confidence, and with confidence comes success. It starts from childhood and continues through adulthood, touching all aspects of your life. However, just because you are not the prototypical “beautiful person” does not mean you are doomed for failure and an unhappy life. It is often the awkward and average-looking people who end up the most successful. How else would we have gotten Bill Gates?

Cupbearer, pour the wine! Let it flow and keep flowing!
I am sick of swinging between hope and fear.
Shatter thought, I want nothing to do with it!
Tear from heart all unstable imaginings!
Hack from their chains the shameless joys of passion!
Dance into our assembly Beloved, unveil Your Face,
Scatter graces with each swirl of Your rob of flame.
Look at these madmen dancing out of themselves for You:
See how they’ve stripped themselves of the rags of time!
Even to detachment the heart can be attached, God knows,
For the heart is a net spread for misery.
Transform my heart to a placeless place of safety,
Carry it to the mountains where it dies into You.
Come quickly! My body’s tired of this country;
Make it drunk, set it free, call to it, “Come quickly!”
Offer me a cup overflowing with the wine of wonder
So I can no longer tell my head from my feet.
don’t give me bread, or water, or peace, or sleep;
Thirst for You is blood-money for a hundred souls like mine.
Today, my Beloved, you have swept me to Your table
Let me stammer and stagger at the Glory of Your Feast.
News has raced through the city: Today’s the Day of Joy!
You are an ass if you want anything but God,
A sad and crazy ass trying to get fat on ash;
Know that the grass of ash dirties the mouth that eats it.
Remember, always, what Mohammed said:
“Stay away from the green of filthy places!”
Beloved, I am far from the grass of the ashpits
I am far from the houris of the gardens
I am far from pride, far from vanity;
I am drunk on the wine of the Divine Majesty.
The thought of a final Beauty leaps like a deer in my heart
Like the moon racing up the sky, like a lily
Lifting its head suddenly from the rive grass.
“Resignation is the key to happiness,
Grace is the door to the peace beyond the mind.” — Rumi

Need to Know: Robert Griffin III torched the Giants with his legs in two meetings last year. Will the New York defense have a counter move in its pocket?
Will the Giants do anything special to defend the read-option? They didn’t against Terrelle Pryor’s Raiders a few weeks ago, though that may have been because Pryor was battling a bum knee. But the Giants also didn’t do anything special against the read-option in their two meetings with Washington last season.

De-Gnat works as a natural insect control. AKA Fossil Dust, our DE compound is made from the ground-up bodies of prehistoric diatomic fossils. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a form of silica that can control insects by desiccation. When in contact with a pest, the DE absorbs the waxy, oily, outer layer and the pest dehydrates.
De-Gnat will control the pests as long as the powder remains. In this respect, De-Gnat is an ideal pesticide; it is residual but non-toxic.
De-Gnat provides the following:
Safe around people, pets, and ponds
Organically sourced and refined
Easy to apply
Safe to use on food and ornamental crops
Free from chemicals
Beneficial as a soil additive
Dry Application Sprinkle De-Gnat over the plants, leaves and stem base. To coat the underside of foliage, use the squeeze puff action.
Wet Application Mis 15g of De-Gnat per litre of water. Spray all sides of the plant and underside of leaves. Only use the foliar application during the vegetative and early flowering stages of growth.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on Tuesday significantly eased the requirements for providers moving to adopt electronic health records that some had complained were too strict.
CMS scaled back how often doctors and hospitals will have to use electronic tools to qualify for federal incentive payments. And it also cut the number of “meaningful use” benchmarks providers will need to meet to tap those funds.
The benchmarks are designed to ensure that doctors and hospitals don’t just purchase the new equipment, but use it to improve patient care.
The new guidelines are being welcomed by some provider groups, which were leery that the proposed guidelines, issued in December, were too stringent.
“The final rule takes important steps to provide a framework for the seamless flow of patient information for hospitals and clinicians that will transform the medical care of Americans,” Chip Kahn, president and CEO of the Federation of American Hospitals, said in a statement.
Ralph Brindis, president of the American College of Cardiology (ACC), said the changes “will make it easier for physicians to comply and encourages practices to begin implementation.”
Under the final rule, doctors will have to e-prescribe 40 percent of the time to meet the incentive requirements — down from the 75 percent pushed in the proposed rule.
Additionally, CMS’s proposed rule had required physicians to meet 25 “meaningful use” objectives, while hospitals were asked to meet 23 benchmarks.
The final rule divides those objectives into a group of core measures — 15 for doctors and 14 for hospitals — while also offering an “a la carte” menu of 10 measures from which providers can choose.
The idea is to allow providers to customize their reporting based on what they’re able to do at this early stage.
The guidelines issued Tuesday will apply to 2011 and 2012, the first phase of the transition to EHRs.
David Blumenthal, the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) national coordinator for health information technology, said Tuesday that the changes — which were made based on more than 2,000 comments on the proposed rule — will go a long way to coordinate patient care and reduce redundant treatments.
“We are only as good at treating patients as the information we have,” Blumenthal, himself a primary care physician, told an audience at HHS headquarters in Washington on Tuesday.
Medical technology firms are applauding the guidelines as well. Patti Dodgen, CEO of Hielix, a Tampa-based health IT company, said CMS took a “measured approach” that “resolved what looked to be intractable problems” with the proposed rule.
“This keeps us on an aggressive track,” Dodgen said in a telephone interview. “But it’s also a very achievable set of requirements.”
Glen Tullman, CEO of Allscripts, another health IT company, said the guidelines represent “a milestone for our industry … that sends a clear message to physicians.”
“The tipping point is here,” Tullman said in a statement, “and the time to act is now.”
Others aren’t yet sure. The American Medical Association (AMA), the largest physician lobby, said it’s still examining the final guidelines, which run longer than 800 pages.
The AMA used Tuesday’s announcement as an opportunity to urge Congress to repeal the formula that dictates Medicare payments to doctors, which has been AMA’s top legislative priority for years.
“Physicians recognize the potential for health IT and want to adopt new technologies,” AMA board member Steven J. Stack said in a statement, “but costly EHR systems are out of reach for many physicians because of low Medicare payments and the prospect of steep cuts in December.”


Three totally different variants of what seems to be the mid-range Pixel 7a had been listed by the FCC. The listings for every of the three mannequin numbers, G0DZQ
, and GWKK3
, talked about the opposite variants and likewise included one other mannequin quantity, G82U8.
As famous by 9to5Google
, a doc created by Google
explains the variations: “FCC ID: A4RG0DZQ (mother or father mannequin for NFC), FCC ID: A4RGWKK3 (mother or father mannequin for BT/WLAN) and FCC ID: A4RGHL1X (variant mannequin) use the identical equivalent inner printed circuit board layouts, whereas the variant fashions depopulates mmWave associated elements and populated a distinct MHB ENDC module, particulars can be found within the operational description.”
A few of you may really feel that the listings cannot be for the Pixel 7a since Google mentions assist for mmWave 5G and the Pixel 6a supported sub-6GHz 5G solely. However that isn’t true. The Verizon variant of the Pixel 6a does assist mmWave 5G. So we are able to go forward with our idea that the Pixel 7a was the Pixel telephone that visited the FCC.
FCC e-label for one of many Pixel 7a listings
The Pixel 7a is anticipated to take the mid-range A-series Pixel telephones to a brand new stage this 12 months with a 6.1-inch show carrying a 90Hz refresh charge. On the again, we should always discover a main digital camera utilizing the 64MP Sony IMX787 picture sensor alongside an ultra-wide digital camera pushed by the 13MP Sony IMX712 sensor. The Google Tensor 2 SoC shall be underneath the hood. Whereas the Pixel 7a resembles the Pixel 7, it does have thicker bezels.
Since FCC confidentiality expires in six months, we should always see the Pixel 7a launched across the identical time that the Pixel 6a was launched final 12 months, which was on July twenty eighth. For the lined six-month interval, the FCC prevents the general public from seeing pictures of a tool submitted to the company together with manuals and different delicate supplies. The Pixel 7a might be launched on the Google I/O developer convention anticipated to be held in Might.

The police in Pasadena arrested a 28-year-old man, Benjamin Hung, on Sunday, May 31, on suspicion of assault. The arrest comes after he drove away from a line of protesters, with one of them still clinging to the hood of his car. Accident reports state that the incident occurred at Colorado Boulevard and Fair Oaks Avenue, California.
A video on social media showed the gray sedan that Hung was driving, moving slowly through a crowd of protesters. Some protesters were still in front of the vehicle when it suddenly accelerated.
Onlookers began screaming, with the sedan continuing to drive through the intersection. A man holding a green sign was sitting on top of the sedan’s hood as Hung drove on. A few of the protesters began chasing after the car before it drove out of view, after which a police siren started blaring.
The police in Pasadena didn’t have any information about the condition of the man sitting atop the hood of the sedan. Reports from the scene, however, said he was okay. It remains unclear if Hung interacted with the crowd before he began driving through them.
Lieutenant Carolyn Gordon of the Pasadena Police Department said that the police are still investigating the issue, per accident reports. No further information is available at this time.
When driving through a crowded area, especially during protests, drivers must avoid accelerating their vehicles. Speeding in such environments may lead to collisions, which causes injuries or death. If it is unsafe to drive through such areas, motorists should turn back and find new routes, rather than trying to force the issue.

Police are investigating a possible theft of $42,480 from the safe at the Gold Rush strip club in downtown Miami.
The safe's key is missing, and the manager of the club cannot see if the money has been taken, the police report said.
There were no signs of forced entry at the club, according to the police report.
The incident was reported to police on March 27, when an employee noticed that the safe’s key and three digital video recorders were missing from the manager’s office, the report said.
The strip club is currently closed, and the employee who reported the crime told The Miami Herald that the closure had nothing to do with the alleged robbery. It is unknown when the club will reopen.
A telephone call to the club on Tuesday during normal business hours rang unanswered.

AnTech Exhibits at SPE/ICoTA 2021: Well Intervention Conference
AnTech exhibited at the SPE/ICoTA Virtual Well Intervention Conference 22nd – 25th March 2021, normally held at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center in Houston, Texas.
Our team at AnTech were pleased to be able to support this year’s virtual conference after last year’s show was cancelled due to the restrictions of COVID-19.
This year, sponsors and attendees networked virtually in the ‘Sponsor Zone’ and people visited us ‘face to face’ by making an appointment to chat on-line and ask questions about Directional Coiled Tubing Drilling.
Adam Miszewski, AnTech’s Global Operations Manager, presented at one of the Technical Sessions: SPE-204418-MS Underbalanced Drilling with Coiled Tubing: A Case Study on the Alaskan North Slope, which Proves the Benefits of Drilling a Straight Hole. The paper received a good turn out and had many interesting questions after the presentation.
Although it was very different this year for everyone, it was great to be able to sponsor the show and still be a part of sharing and learning new industry knowledge. The team would like to thank everyone who got in touch and are looking forward to attending next year’s SPE/ICoTA Exhibition in The Woodlands.
If you would like any further information or would like to know more about Directional Coiled Tubing Drilling, please contact us.
