NASA Scientists Discover New Asteroid Belt Orbiting Vega
redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports - Your Universe Online
A team of U.S. astronomers has discovered what looks to be a large asteroid belt orbiting around Vega, the second-brightest star in the northern sky, NASA officials announced on Tuesday.
Using data obtained from the Spitzer Space Telescope and the European Space Agency's (ESA) Herschel Space Observatory, the researchers discovered infrared light emitted by warm and cold dust in bands around both Vega and Fomalhaut, a second star already known to be home to a debris belt.
“The Herschel and Spitzer telescopes detected infrared light emitted by warm and cold dust in discrete bands around Vega and Fomalhaut, discovering the new asteroid belt around Vega and confirming the existence of the other belts around both stars,” the researchers said in a statement.
“The data are consistent with both stars having inner, warm belts and outer, cool belts separated by a gap. This architecture is similar to the asteroid and Kuiper belts in our own solar system,” they added.
The findings were presented Tuesday at the American Astronomical Society (AAS) meeting in Long Beach, California, and will also be detailed in a paper set for publication in the Astrophysical Journal. The lead author of that paper, University of Arizona astronomer Kate Su, said that her team´s research helps to confirm that multiple-planet systems are relatively common outside of our own solar system.
Despite the similarities, there are also some key differences between the Vega and Formalhaut belts and those closest to Earth, said NASA scientists. Both stars´ inner and outer belts contain far more material that our asteroid and Kuiper belts, partially because the systems are much younger than ours and partially because they were probably formed by a cloud of gas and dust that was initially more massive that our solar system´s.
“The gap between the inner and outer debris belts for Vega and Fomalhaut also proportionally corresponds to the distance between our sun's asteroid and Kuiper belts,” the space agency said. “This distance works out to a ratio of about 1:10, with the outer belt 10 times farther from its host star than the inner belt.”
“As for the large gap between the two belts, it is likely there are several undetected planets, Jupiter-size or smaller, creating a dust-free zone between the two belts. A good comparison star system is HR 8799, which has four known planets that sweep up the space between two similar disks of debris,” they added.
The large gap between warm and cold belts suggests that more than one planet is likely to be orbiting around both Vega and Fomalhaut, says Su. If those planets do exist, NASA researchers say that it is doubtful that they will remain out of sight for much longer thanks to the forthcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and other next-generation astronomical instruments.

They are honest and will certainly inform you which gambling establishment is official, if they have some wonderful video games and perks, and most significantly if the gambling enterprise is a scam. The past 2 years truly helped this sector grow because of everyone being at home and limited in relocating. What’s more, people’s natural propensity to wager is what actually pushed this market to expand and bring brand-new things to the gambling table, and today this is one of the biggest sectors. Nevertheless, because the industry allows, there are constantly high-risk sites with poor objectives in the direction of their customers.
As passionate port video game programmers, we have been living at the heart of this advancement, welcoming everything, which aids us produce the very best video games possible. Still, it is very important to keep in mind that while the benefits of on the internet gambling are numerous, there are likewise substantial threats included. In this article, we intend to lay out several of the essential pros and cons, intending to provide an unbiased viewpoint on this ever-evolving sector that we work in.
The Validity Of Gambling – Your Quick Takeaway
Nevertheless, prior to you start playing video games, you must always check the gambling legislation in your country and discover how to choose an online casino. From there, slot gacor is very important that we experience precisely what the consumer experiences. We look for sites with a great video game selection, and play a selection of slots and table games on desktop and mobile, taking advantage of the offered bonus offers. Welcome perks are a big draw for online gambling establishments, and we look for the most charitable ones with the very best betting needs.
Thanks to Casino.Online, players have the essential expertise to confidently navigate the on-line casino globe, ensured they get on risk-free, satisfying systems. The on-line gambling establishment market is proliferating, fueled by home ease, tech improvements, and the surge of crypto casino sites. Covering both timeless standards and brand-new launches, Casino.Online focuses on one goal– upgrading your online betting experience to the following degree. The outcomes of the physical deals by the dealership, such as the outcome of the live roulette wheel spin or the dealing of cards, are converted right into information that can be utilized by the software through optical character recognition (OCR) innovation. This enables the gamer to interact with the video game in much the same means as they would with an online casino site video game, except for the reality that the results are figured out by real-life activities instead of automated procedures. We go through a 25-step testimonial process for every and every gambling enterprise we suggest, starting by guaranteeing that they have a proper license from a revered jurisdiction.
Locating And Using The Latest Gambling Apps
For example, the Australian Government is executing the National Customer Security Structure for Online Betting. Measures include a volunteer opt-out pre-commitment system for setting down payment restrictions on wagering accounts. Additional tools yet to be presented include gamer activity declarations, constant safe gambling messaging, and a national self-exclusion register. Many licensed drivers currently offer choices for player activity statements, limit-setting and self-exclusion. Lower-risk gamblers are immune since they currently really feel in control of their gaming [54,55,56], while higher-risk casino players may not want to restrict their betting  or find limits and self-exclusion easy to circumvent by opening up additional accounts  Nevertheless, consumers that use harm minimisation tools often tend to discover them useful [55, 56, 59]
Stay On Top Of The Wave With News And Updates On Casino, Wagering And Much More
The generally a lot more positive technique of European countries towards online gaming than that of the United States has actually led to the birth of supposed “betting hubs.” These are GEOs that have really welcoming regulations towards this kind of enjoyment. They have actually come to be home to several on the internet gaming firms with global reach and audiences. This can be done through KYC (Know Your Client) policies that permit platforms to verify individuals prior to allowing them access.
These successes highlight the functional worth of Casino.Online’s offerings. They verify that the approaches, tools, and insights given by Casino.Online can help gamers boost their video game and fulfill their on the internet gambling establishment goals. While it’s feasible for a random number generator (or RNG) to be programmed versus the player, this is very not likely.
Aside from providing a huge mainstream sportsbook, Bovada hosts 300 gambling enterprise video games in total. On the internet betting scams can take lots of forms, consisting of account takeover (ATO) scams, benefit abuse fraudulence, charge card scams, and wagering robots. Of this listing MI, NJ, PA and VA have online casino site schedule most akin to sportsbooks in lawful sports betting states. The reality is that the enforcement of offshore gambling establishment gambling has actually constantly been extremely chilled out. That seems unlikely to change, specifically as US-based online gambling establishments start to launch. After a prolonged delay, Pennsylvania signed up with the on-line gambling enterprise party in 2019 with just two on-line gambling enterprise options.
To assist you prevent such on-line casinos, we have actually spent weeks investigating the market utilizing our golden methodology to discover the top casino site sites using a wide choice of casino video games, generous bonuses, reasonable playthrough demands, and prompt consumer support. One point that on-line gambling lacks contrasted to the typical traditional online casinos is beauty. If you have actually seen a couple of gambling motion pictures, then you know what we are discussing. The bustling crowd, the clanking of slot machines, and the smell of money in the air is something online gambling enterprises aren’t able to recreate.
Players in these countries can not be penalized and can wager at any website they can gain access to. Likewise known as software-based online casino games, the end result of these video games is established using a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) software application. This software makes certain that every deal of the card, the outcome of a dice throw, or the results created by the spinning of a fruit machine or live roulette wheel is totally random and uncertain. PRNGs use a collection of mathematical instructions called an algorithm to generate a lengthy stream of numbers that provide the impact of real randomness. While this is not the same as true random number generation (computers are incapable of this without an outside input resource), it offers outcomes that please almost one of the most strict needs for true randomness.

PHOTOS: Dead Stars Celebrated their New Album at Rough Trade
Friends, old fans, new fans, more friends… they all came out last Friday to see Brooklyn’s Dead Stars celebrate the release of their second full length album aptly at Rough Trade. Before Jeff Moore (guitar, vocals), Jaye Moore (drums) and John Watterberg (bass) took the stage, Holy Tunics and Infinity Girl did a fine job in getting the audience going.
When Dead Stars started to play, they kept it with a pleasant mix of known and new material, so that everybody could hum along, having a good time. A live show also always being a visual experience, I totally liked seeing them being clad in striped t-shirts of different kind of colors, stripes and styles. Somewhat a unity and then again each his own. Great idea! I’ve seen Dead Stars a good 18 months before, and liked them back then and liked them even better now. Heartfelt and honest show for a solid and cool album.
If you liked “Slumber”, Dead Star’s debut album, you’ll definitely like “Bright Colors” too, because it’s simply more of the same. The same that’s good. No bells, no whistles but straightforward, beautifully crafted guitar rock. And honestly, as much as I love all the different indie-music varieties that are out there these days, there are times when I crave something solid and “Bright Colors” fulfills exactly that. On top of it? Dead Stars were great fun to watch live and I can’t wait to seeing them again in Austin, TX when Brooklynites seek out fellow Brooklynites, because, you know, it’s fun to meet on ‘foreign’ ground…

Jewelry has always been a part of my life. Before my first memories I was wearing a tiny sapphire ring—my birthstone. In high school I worked in my dad’s jewelry store and a good chunk of my earnings went toward buying jewelry.
Your choice of adornment can also signify social status or belonging to a group. I believe, more than anything, that jewelry is a form of self-expression. It tells people something about you. I only make jewelry that I will wear myself. It is classically elegant, not trendy, so it will never go out of style.
I asked around, and here are some reasons that women wear jewelry:
- Because it’s pretty.
- Jewelry is the finishing touch that makes you look well put-together.
- If your clothes are a canvas, jewelry is the art.
- To dress up a casual outfit.
- In remembrance of a special person or place or event.
- When you receive jewelry as a gift, you feel loved.
- I wear jewelry because it is pretty and I enjoy it. It adorns my outfits and makes me feel beautiful. I bought a pair of your earrings at the Commonwheel Art Festival today. Hands down, your jewelry was the best choice at the entire show. [Thanks, Dede! You made my day. ~Gretchen]
Why do you wear jewelry? I’d like to know.

O.K. listees, I think I will chime in on this old chestnut.
Way back when in the days of the 1930's to the 70's (and probably well before that as well) there were always attempts to use various grades of what is referred to as "stainless" in assorted areas of bike equipment. For many years Schwinn used to offer fenders, er mudguards as a higher cost option on their ballooners and lightweights. Raliegh tried dropouts, and there were many attempts at rims, handlebars, and toeclips. Notice that these were common areas where rust would form on chrome and nickel plating. Many of these attempts, besides the spokes, were failures because the quality and grades of "stainless" were often not as good as is currently available. AND stainless steels have always tended to be more expensive than other materials which often leads to designers choosing marginal grades because the bike trade has always tended towards the cheaper lower-end market. Indeed, the widespread trade in upper-end bike and component sales is a recent trend and not the industry norm. Do NOT underestimate this aspect of bike part engineering through the years !
Often the stainless parts would SEEM like a better idea but the improvements usually always came with significant drawbacks. The dropouts that Raliegh used weren't malleable enough to be easily bent back after suffering crash damage. The fenders were more difficult to remove dents and creases from (how many listees remember when this was a mainstream bike shop repair activity ?). Same thing for the rims - I haven't worked on these myself, but supposedly they were more difficult to true if they sustained any sort of damage. Maybe Hilary Stone or Mick Butler, et al could chime in and refute/confirm my recollections. The various rims were popular in England's wet climate so maybe they did work o.k. ?
What is important in discussing these items and the material is not to cloud and confuse the issue with layman's attempts to understand complex metallurgical details. I have seen some truly laughable attempts to do so and all it does is add to the considerable confusion on the topic. If the terms "austenitic, martensitic, pearlite nose, 300 grade, 400 grade, etc. etc. etc." are not very familiar to you then please DO NOT use them. Likewise, potshots and side-line quarterback attempts to criticize the use of a specific alloy without a good background in metals and engineering is particularly pointless. Sometimes sticking to generalizations is better than mis-using jargon, eh ?
Now for spokes. Many years ago wheels were usually built with LESS spoke tension then nowadays because the rims were not strong enough to allow for higher tension without the spokes pulling through the inner face of the rim. Ever wonder why higher spoke count wheels were the norm for so many decades ? Or why Fiamme came up with the idea for the "Longhi" design with a ferrule joining the top AND bottom of the rim wall ? Or conversely why there were so few road and track wheels with fewer than 32 spokes. The traditional way to cope with lower spoke tension is to use thinner butted spokes and more of them. So back in the day there were many variants of 14-16 and 15-17 guage butted spokes available for lighter higher quality wheels. The thin butted spokes made it easier to acheive acceptable tension and to hopefully keep the nipples from unscrewing during use and allowing the wheel to lose it's shape. The only spoke prep I recall hearing about from the years past is that old-timers told me to apply a drop of clear nail-polish to the nipple/spoke thread interface after building to help prevent "unwinding". Or use linseed oil as a spoke thread lube because it dried out into a nice and sticky sort of loctite material. All of this goes for wood rim wheels in addition to lightweight metal rims.
So early attempts at stainless steel spokes were hampered by both the material (not so great choices in metallurgy/forming technology), AND application - i.e. that in a lower tension structure there is more flex, more tension peaks/ebbs, more chance for fatigue to occur. And so stainless steel as a spoke material (back in the pre-dt / wheelsmith days) developed a VERY well-known reputation for offering poor reliability and much breakage. Notice I did not mention grade, nickel, vanadium, or stress corrosion cracking once so far.
Old-timers I knew often spoke of stainless spokes with UTTER derision. On the other hand, they often spoke very fondly of the various grades of "plain" steel GALVINIZED butted spokes that were once available such as Robergal, Berg Union, Prym, and especially the old Torrington "Diamond E" spokes (made here in the USA ! ). The mere mention of Diamond E spokes was once a way to build instant street credibility with riders and mechanics of a certain generation ! Pop Brennans' sons told me there wasn't a spoke made ever that was better than the Diamond E - they said it was "piano wire". I'll leave it up to experts to let us know exactly what "Piano Wire" consists of.
So, from the 50's up until the late 70's stainless was considered an inferior choice for spoke material. What changed ? Well, higher spoke tension along with better quality, stronger rims has helped alleviate some of the tension peaks/valleys that cause fatigue. Overall, there is a greater awareness of the issues involved in wheel building - i.e. higher tension and EVEN tension, regardless of spoke pattern. These sorts of details were once not easy to find out about and wheel issues usually de-volved into truly stupid pseudo-scientific discussions of three-cross versus four-cross, and the like. But most importantly was the greater availability of DT (and later Wheelsmith and Sapim) spokes in the mid-late 70's. These spokes utterly blew a hole in the old monolithic theory that ALL stainless spokes were bad. For whatever reasons (high grade Swedish wire as a raw material, better drawing/head and butt forming technology ?) these spokes set a new standard for strength and quality. No they are not perfect, occasional spoke breakages still do occur but nowhere near the #s like there used to be IMHO. One important aspect to consider is that DT made a premium product and priced themselves accordingly. They did not allow themselves to accept the trade-offs in performance vs. cost of raw material and processing that dictated what other spoke makers had offered for decades. Nowadays high quality spokes can easily cost five times what was commonly acceptable "back in the day" but here we truly have a rare instance of "you get what you pay for ".
I hope some of this may make some sense to the wheel-oriented folks out there. Like frames, high quality wheels were once the exception, not the norm. There was a "mystique" to the wheel builders who figured out some of the issues and could repeatedly build high quality long lasting wheels. Spence Wolf was probably the best known of these folks, but there were many others. What I am somewhat unclear on is the problems and foibles of the various Robergal stainless spokes that were available. As far as I know these were once the premium choice before DT entered the scene. They seemed to be a higher quality than the Stella's and Raedelli's from Italy, but folks have told me numerous stories of "they work well for maybe a year or two and then . . . " breakage nightmares start.
Enough with old bikes ! Get out there and go for a ride !

I just got home from deathsmart with this guy. He was hanging out in his filthy cup on his side. He's so beautiful and so tiny (the size of a quarter). I couldn't leave him there! I had to take him home!
I brought him home and put him into a half gallon vase with some marbles and 1 plant. I put a few rocks of aquarium salt in there with him and put him on the top ledge of my stove so he stays warm. It keeps the water between 77-80.
After I put him in his house, I fed him 1 pellet of food and he gobbled it up super quick...so I'm hoping that's a good sign.
He still struggles with floating to his side, but he's putting up a good fight. I think he has an ammonia burn on the top of his head. There is a small fleshy colored dot that you can see in one of the pictures. Maybe it's just his markings.
Any other tips or suggestions anyone can offer? I promised him that if he made it, I would get him a real house and he wouldn't even have to share my 10gal with Stefon!
What makes me the most angry, is how the employees kept telling me "Oh, well if he doesn't make it we have a 14 day guarantee. Bring him back and we will replace him for free." I kept telling them "That's not the point, at least if he doesn't make it, he will die in a nice home, not a poop filled cup! If I was him, I would hope someone would spend 7 bucks on me so I wouldn't die in filth".
My friend MiMi has named him "Quarter Pounder"...because he is the size of a quarter and he is pounding his way through the odds! I really hope he makes it, I love him tons already!

Authorities in the archipelago of Vanuatu today issued warnings following the eruption of an underwater volcano off the archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean.
And the Department of Meteorology and Geographical Hazards in Vanuatu announced that the (East Ebi) volcano, located 68 km from the capital, Port Vila, erupted underwater, asking the local population to beware of any continuous strong explosions and the need to avoid the passage of ships and planes in the eruption area.
The department indicated that the volcano spewed ash up to 100 meters above sea level early this morning, while officials raised the alert status of the volcano to level one on a scale of 1 to 5.
Vanuatu is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, which experiences frequent seismic and volcanic activity.

In the wake of the Iranian revolution, a second oil crisis gripped the western world, and with the first production hybrid car still two decades away, automakers rushed to come to terms with high gas prices. But the idea of hybrid vehicles is nothing new, and one of the concepts to come out of the oil crunch was a hybrid taxi version of the Volkswagen Type II bus.
Jalopnik came across this forgotten design in the Complete Book of Electric Vehicles, and the hybrid Volkswagen bus described in its pages matches the idea behind many hybrid vehicles today. A standard 50 horsepower Volkswagen 1600 cc air-cooled engine was paired with a Bosch electric motor and a bank of 11 lead-acid batteries, providing comparable driving range and fuel economy (about 20 MPG) to many vehicles of the day.
Once the electricity from the battery packs was drained, the gas engine could act as a generator, motivate the Volkswagen independently of the electric motor, or work in conjunction with the electric motor for a double dose of power. Even with both powerplants pushing the hybrid van along acceleration was pretty pathetic, taking more than 30 seconds to reach 60 MPH, and top speed was only 65 MPH.
This hybrid Volkswagen Type II wasn’t about speed though, it was about bringing new life to an old idea. Officially called the Volkswagen Hybrid-Electric City Taxi, Vdub intended for this concept to replace the gas-guzzling and largely uncomfortable taxis found in many European and American cities. Big comfy seats, bulletproof glass separating the driver and passengers, and an automatic sliding door all made for a much cooler livery vehicle than your standard Checker Cab. Volkswagen wasn’t alone with its hybrid concepts either, as both Mercedes-Benz and BMW trotted out their own hybrid vehicles around the same time.
Alas, the idea of a gas-electric car was dropped by the mid-80s by most automakers, in part because of the low-range, heavy batteries, but also because other innovations like fuel injection and overdrive functionality in transmissions simply made more fiscal sense. Imagine if you will though where hybrid and electric car technology might be today if automakers had committed to it 20 years earlier. We’d probably already have the 400-mile EVs Volkswagen has been hyping up.
If only, if only…

From the Boston Business Journal - Sounds Interesting:
The Ivy Restaurant Group, which operates Ivy in the Ladder District, is close to signing a lease at 48-50 Temple Place, which is located across the street from Ivy.
William Ashmore, director of operations for Ivy, said the group plans to take 3,250 square feet on the gound and below-grade levels to create a new restaurant, Stoddards Fine Food & Ale, named for the former fine cuttlery store that once occupied the building. Ivy would continue to operate.
Ashmore said the new restaurant would seat about 120 and have a full liquor license, with a focus on handcrafted ales. It would have a classic American theme harkening back to the 1900s. The project could cost up to $1 million, said Ashmore, who added that the money would come from small, private sources, tenant incentives and possible grants, which help in restoration of facades, from the city.
Ashmore said his group is working with the current owner on lease negotiations.
Once the lease is signed, Ashmore said opening date would be about Sept. 1, 2008.

At 10.6 Inches, the PTX3000 Delivers up to Six Times Greater Performance for Space-Constricted Markets; The 100G Interface Efficiently Connects Metro Sites up to 2000 Kilometers (1243 Miles) Apart
ANAHEIM, CA–(Marketwire – Mar 18, 2013) – (OFC/NFOEC) — Juniper Networks (NASDAQ:JNPR, news, filings), the industry leader in network innovation, today unveiled two new products designed to address key challenges facing service providers as they converge their networks to optimize their business.
First, Juniper Networks has advanced the industry’s first and onlyConverged Supercore™ for service providers with the introduction of the Juniper Networks® PTX3000 Packet Transport Router. Unlike other core routers that are so large that they often require building retrofits and redesigns, the new Juniper Networks router at 10.6 inches in depth can be installed in virtually any space and energy constrained environment. The PTX3000 router’s capacity is designed to rapidly scale over time up to 24 terabits per second (Tbps), enabling PTX3000 to simultaneously stream high-definition video to as many as three million households.
In addition, Juniper Networks announced an integrated packet-transport physical interface card (PIC) with two-ports of line rate 100 Gigabit forwarding for the entire PTX family, which will now enable service providers to cost-effectively interconnect sites more than 2000 kilometers (1243 miles) apart, the equivalent distance between San Francisco, Calif. and Denver, Colo.
- Reshaping Optical Core Routing: The PTX3000 breaks the mold for core routers shipping at almost 4Tbps in capacity, scaling up to 24 Tbps of total capacity and a mere 10.6 inches deep — approximately the length of an Apple iPad. The PTX3000 Packet Transport Router provides network operators with groundbreaking size, performance and efficiency, addressing practical barriers that service providers face in upgrading networks today. The router follows Juniper’s 2011 introduction of the world’s first Converged Supercore, a new architecture to bring together the packet and transport worlds, and addresses the scale and flexibility challenges that today’s service providers face. With the PTX3000, Juniper has redefined the upgrade so that one technician can manually hand-carry and install a PTX3000 within a matter of minutes versus hours.
- Industry’s Lowest Power Footprint: With a simplified architecture, the PTX Series allows network operators to converge their networks from nationwide backbones down to the metro core, driving significant operational efficiencies. Juniper’s approach collapses the traditional core architecture to deliver unprecedented scale at the lowest power footprint in the industry at less than one watt per Gigabit. PTX3000 customers can get started with a minimum configuration of as little as 1200 watts and a single power feed — allowing smaller operators in space and power-constrained environments to be up and running quickly, while realizing all the benefits of the Converged Supercore.
- Rapid Service Expansion at a Fraction of the Cost: Powered by the purpose-built Junos® Express chipset and the proven reliability of the Junos operating system, the Juniper Networks PTX Series Packet Transport Router can scale for years to come, allowing operators to deliver mobile services to millions of subscribers at a cost savings of up to 65 percent over legacy architectures.
- No Compromise of Performance and Scale: The PTX Series delivers unmatched efficiency, wire-rate performance on all ports simultaneously, even for the smallest packet sizes, and by far the industry’s lowest latency while at the same time reducing the cost of network ownership.
- Resetting the Density Bar for 100G Optical: Designed to cost-effectively interconnect long-haul metro sites, the integrated packet-transport 100G DWDM OTN interface card offers the industry’s highest density 100G optical routing capabilities for use in open, standard-based architectures.

As a result of the new decision, it has been decided to organize train services so that those places can be traveled in less than two and a half hours, according to the media reports. The decision by Emmanuel Macron’s government means that commuters will now have to rely on trains to travel from Paris to places like Nantes, Lyon and Bordeaux. The government has assured that there will be no impact on air services in other major cities of the country, except for short-haul destinations.
French Transport Minister Clement Beaune has cleared this government decision. In an interview given to a media, he said that such a decision was essential to eliminate pollution. According to him, the plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has been strengthened as a result of this decision. Besides domestic air services, those who use private jets for short-haul travel have also been tightened. A report by Transport and Environment (T&I) and the European Federation for Clean Transport notes that private jets are 14 times more polluting than commercial aircraft and 50 times worse than trains.
The French government’s decision to cancel short-haul flights has angered airlines. Laurent Dancil, head of the caretaker of industry group Airlines for Europe (A4E), told an international news agency that the decision could result in many people associated with the airline losing their jobs. He said that the government’s claim that this decision is to reduce carbon emissions is baseless. According to him, banning short-distance trips would have minimal impact on reducing carbon emissions. The government should have focused on real solutions to the problem, rather than stopping trips, the head of the caretaker of industry group Airlines for Europe (A4E) said.

From roadside weed to your coffee cup
Q: On a visit to New Orleans we came to love coffee mixed with roasted chicory root. Is that the same chicory as the roadside weed with blue flowers? If so, could we transplant some to our garden and harvest our own coffee enhancer?
A: Some say enhancer. Some say phooey. Either way, the hot-drink base and the roadside weed are indeed the same species, Chicorium intybus, which can also be radicchio or Belgian endive.
But there is no point trying to move wild plants into your garden. Chicory is a biennial. It makes strong roots the first year, then flowers and dies the next. The roots you want are first-year roots, from a large-rooted variety.
For home gardeners, that means 'Magdeburg,' an heirloom that has been the standard for more than 150 years. It is easy to grow almost anywhere, as long as you have fertile, well-drained soil that is near neutral in pH.
The spot should be prepared now, so winter can loosen the soil. Seeds are planted in midspring, and roots will be ready to harvest about 3 1/2 months from planting. While waiting, gather the flowers of roadside chicory and use them to garnish soups and salads. Wild leaves are very bitter but tasty. They may be cooked into submission in olive oil, with lots of garlic.
Sources for Magdeburg seeds include Stokes Seeds, (800) 396-9238 or www.stokeseeds.com; and Richters, (905) 640-6677 or www.richters.com, which sends directions for roasting as well as planting. They also sell prepared roots, ready to adulterate coffee without taking up any garden room.

Try disconnecting the power from the FireTV receiver, wait about five seconds or so, then plug it back in. The receiver should reboot and you should get your home screen on your TV. Now, if your remote refuses to work (pressing buttons does nothing), try this: make sure your remote is in line-of-sight to the receiver, open the remote's battery compartment, remove the batteries and put them back in. Now the receiver should detect the remote and the remote should start working.
Once they have, you'll be able to view a graph of their reputation gained over time.

Environmental Rules Aren’t the Problem
For over a year President Trump promised to rebuild America’s infrastructure. While the details of his program have not been fully disclosed, it appears that rolling back environmental regulations will be at its core. Rolling back those rules, the President believes, will speed up “the painfully slow, costly and time-consuming process of getting permits and approvals to build.”
As a Republican for most of my life, I generally support deregulation. Market mechanisms are usually more effective in allocating resources, stimulating innovation, and delivering projects. But when there is market failure, regulations can be critical to protecting public interests, such as clean air and water, land and resource conservation, greater fuel efficiency, and highway and workplace safety.
Applying for environmental approvals—whether wetlands or endangered species permits, or Coast Guard navigational consents—can be burdensome. It is, however, a necessary step to balance public values with accelerated project delivery. Environmental Impact Statements (EIS)—mandated for large projects by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and apparently the bane of the President’s frustration—are the principal means to assure broad support for significant projects.
In my own experience, as the chief executive officer of a state transportation agency and as a federal transportation official, environmental regulations were rarely the most significant inhibitors of project delivery. More often than not, extended delays were related to disputes about project scope, character, funding, and siting. Even though raised in the context of environmental applications, these clashes were largely political in nature and indicative of a lack of community consensus about project need. I have little doubt that opposition groups would have found other ways to delay or litigate transportation projects if NEPA or other environmental rules were not available to them.
What’s more is that less than 10 percent of federally assisted transportation projects require an EIS. The vast majority—particularly those that involve rehabilitation, restoration, and modest improvements— are “categorically excluded” from the NEPA process entirely. And it is important to note that, under federal law many environmental responsibilities can already be transferred to those states willing to assume them. Many reforms in environmental streamlining and coordination have already been achieved under federal statutory provisions, executive orders, regulations, and agency guidance.
So if environmental deregulation is not the core issue, what can be done to speed up infrastructure projects? Three critical areas need to be addressed:
First, the most significant cause of delay is the lack of sustainable funding. Certainty of funding is most important in assuring the implementation of the long-term capital programs required to fix, modernize, and maintain infrastructure. Uncertainty inhibits the capacity of state and local agencies to reconstruct and maintain the roads, bridges, and transit systems that they own and operate. Maintaining what they have, and not building new projects, is their greatest need and for that they need dependable and dedicated revenue and investment sources.
Second, state and local procurement practices are serious obstacles to faster and less expensive transportation project delivery. The design-bid-build process—still required in most states—inhibits the introduction of more efficient contracting practices, technological innovations, and new materials. There would be substantial benefits if the Trump infrastructure program included incentives and bonuses to states and localities to streamline their procurement procedures.
Third, project selection processes are deeply flawed in many places and in need of reform. Even $1 trillion in infrastructure investment will require wiser choices for how funds are used and which projects should be prioritized. The best projects are the ones with the most support and are more likely to move through the review process quickly and with less susceptibility to litigation. Virginia’s new method of evaluating and measuring projects is an innovation that other states should follow and something the federal government should encourage.
The Trump Administration’s emphasis on delivering projects quickly is laudable. But achieving it will take far more than environmental streamlining and deregulation.
By all means, let’s find ways to accelerate infrastructure project delivery. But environmental deregulation is only part of, and not the most significant element in, such an effort. The assurance of funding and better procurement and project selection processes are the best ways to bring the nation’s infrastructure to a state of good repair quickly and efficiently.
The views expressed above are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Eno Center for Transportation.

WEST JORDAN, Utah—Utah has been enjoying a strong economy and a population growth rate that is twice the national average, but coinciding with this prosperity is a labor shortage, according to Michael Zufelt, president of the Utah Tire Dealers & Retreaders Association. So the UTDRA is taking a proactive approach to help its tire dealer members, Mr. Zufelt said. As a representative of the association, Mr. Zufelt has begun speaking to students in high schools and vocational education institutes, encouraging them to consider career opportunities in tire sales and automotive service that offer high wages and job security.
As a result of the labor shortage, an average mechanic can earn $45,000 to $65,000 a year in Utah, Mr. Zufelt said. And being in high demand, technicians can ``write their own ticket'' in regards to flexible hours and benefits. If a boss won't offer flexibility, ``there are 12 employers standing in line that will,'' Mr. Zufelt said.
The association, which has 17 dealership members representing 77 locations, also plans to set up an apprenticeship program this spring in which students can work part-time in members' stores to gain practical experience.
Interested students can send their resumes to Mr. Zufelt, who said he will act as a clearinghouse, matching students with interested dealerships.

Revealing ocean-scale biochemical structure with a deep-diving vertical profiling autonomous vehicle
Breier JA, Jakuba MV, Saito MA, Dick GJ, Grim SL, Chan EW, McIlvin MR, Moran DM, Alanis BA, Allen AE, Dupont CL, Johnson R
Vast and diverse microbial communities exist within the ocean. To better understand the global influence of these microorganisms on Earth's climate, we developed a robot capable of sampling dissolved and particulate seawater biochemistry across ocean basins while still capturing the fine-scale biogeochemical processes therein. Carbon and other nutrients are acquired and released by marine microorganisms as they build and break down organic matter. The scale of the ocean makes these processes globally relevant and, at the same time, challenging to fully characterize. Microbial community composition and ocean biochemistry vary across multiple physical scales up to that of the ocean basins. Other autonomous underwater vehicles are optimized for moving continuously and, primarily, horizontally through the ocean. In contrast, , the robot that we describe, is designed to efficiently and precisely move vertically through the ocean, drift laterally in a Lagrangian manner to better observe water masses, and integrate with research vessel operations to map large horizontal scales to a depth of 6000 meters. We present results that show how conducts high-resolution sensor surveys and sample return missions, including a mapping of 1144 kilometers of the Sargasso Sea to a depth of 1000 meters. We further show how the samples obtain filtered biomass from seawater that enable genomic and proteomic measurements not possible through in situ sensing. These results demonstrate a robotic oceanography approach for global-scale surveys of ocean biochemistry.

Labyrinth Lost is a modern portal fantasy, a coming-of-age that feels fresh and new while following the oldest bones of story. Alejandra--Alex--is a bruja, one of three sisters with gifts, a mother who catches babies and codes medical billing, and a community she loves but wants no part of--she wants to reject her magic, fearing that it only brings death and destruction to her family. On her Deathday, when she is meant to come into her powers, she follows the guidance of a Nova, mysterious boy who attached himself to her at a visit to the local botanica which ends in chaos. Devastated, she follows him into Los Lagos, to find her family, and the Underworld--under the thrall of the Devourer, a great evil. Can she save them? Will she come into her powers, or sacrifice her gifts for the ones she loves?
This was such a wild ride of a book, a deep, living mythos populated by living, breathing characters with histories, passions, and wants. Córdova spares no details, but her writing is always fluid, painting a full picture of a world layered within our own, and one underneath it, exploring the motives and images that populate the underworld. There is a second-act introduction of the third member of the fabled love triangle, Rishi, who won my heart as a non-magical girl makings the best of a strange and dangerous world. While yes, the romance intrigues (with an arc and conclusion I loved), it's Alex's familiar relationships that drive the story and defeat the powers of evil. I loved it, and I'm so excited that two more Brooklyn Bruja books are on the way.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A sheriff's spokesman says an investigation into a fight between Chris Brown and Frank Ocean will soon be closed without any charges being sought.
Los Angeles sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says investigators will speak with Ocean before closing the case, but the agency is unlikely to pursue a misdemeanor battery charge against Brown.
Ocean has accused Brown of hitting him during an argument outside a West Hollywood recording studio last month, but wrote on the social media site Tumblr on Saturday that he wanted the matter closed. Ocean's post stated he did not want Brown prosecuted and he had no intentions of filing a civil lawsuit.
Brown remains on probation for the 2009 beating of Rihanna and is scheduled to appear in court for a progress hearing on Wednesday.

Hippies gather in Flower Power Love-in on Dartmoor’s Haytor
From the collection of:
A hippie love-in is staged at Haytor as the counterculturists gather in August on Dartmoor in Devon. Scott Mckenzie’s If you are going to San Francisco, be sure to wear flowers in your hair, becomes the hippie anthem gently emancipating a younger generation to experiment with drugs and sex. It was as much a reaction against governments and the war in Vietnam as it was against society. Slogans include Make Love Not War, Free Love and We are the Flower Children.
The Summer of Love reaches Plymouth on 25 August 1967. The artist Kenneth-Edward Swinscoe is a founder member of Peace at Will Hippie Commune in the Lee Mill area of Plymouth. Haytor is a Dartmoor honeyspot attracting tourists, climbers and abseilers. It is the backdrop to Knights of the Roundtable (1953) starring Robert Taylor and Ava Gardner. The quarry provided granite for the London Bridge sold to Lake Havasu City in Arizona in 1970 and hinted at in TV’s Auf Wiedersehen Pet in 2002 where the migrant labourers reconstruct Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge on a Native American Reservation in Arizona.

Delaware General Assembly passes 'kill switch' for Artificial Island project
Legislation that gives Delaware the power to block a controversial power line project is headed to Gov. John Carney's desk.
The state Senate on Tuesday voted unanimously to a give the Delaware Public Service Commission new authority over electric transmission utilities.
And in doing so, it might have helped to give the PSC new leverage over the Artificial Island project that threatens to raise the electric bills of ratepayers across the state.
"I don't think it was designed specifically to do that," said state Sen. Harris McDowell, D-Wilmington, said of the bill. "But if [the project] is going to negatively impact ratepayers, [stopping it] is the [PSC]'s job."
If signed by Carney, the bill would require any company looking to build an electric transmission facility in Delaware to first win certification from the PSC. The agency sought that oversight after federal regulation approved during the Obama administration allowed public utilities to more easily cross state lines.
In making such decisions, the PSC's five commissioners – all appointed by the governor – would be required to consider several factors, most notably the impact "on the State's economy and the benefits to the State's ratepayers."
That clause could keep three PSC from certifying L.S. Power, the New York-based subcontractor that power grid operator PJM Interconnection chose to run a power line from New Jersey's Artificial Island to Delaware.
And without the required certification, L.S. Power would not be able to complete the project.
"There is a potential that [the approval] could be used as a kill switch," said Robert Howatt, executive director of the PSC. "But our hope is that it never comes to that."
Elected officials and business leaders in Delaware and Maryland have been opposing the Artificial Island project almost since Pennsylvania-based power grid operator PJM Interconnection first proposed it in 2015.
Designed to resolve voltage and stability issues at the Salem and Hope Creek nuclear power stations in southern New Jersey, the $280 million project would run a power line under the Delaware River from the Garden State's Artificial Island to a substation in Red Lion, Delaware, as part of a $400 million overhaul of the nuclear site.
But the real issue for Delaware and Maryland is a controversial cost-share plan approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in 2016. Under that plan, customers on the Delmarva Peninsula would be forced to pay for 90 percent of the project cost, despite getting only about 10 percent of the benefit, according to state officials.
The Delaware Public Advocate Office has estimated that plan would increase monthly electric bills by $13 for residential customers while adding a whopping $6,000 to the electric bill of small businesses and $50,000 for some of the state's largest companies.
The Delaware Chamber of Commerce and other business groups have been particularly outspoken in their opposition to that cost-sharing proposal.
Neal Nicastro, plant manager at PPG Industries in Dover and co-chairman of the chamber's Delaware Manufacturing Association, said the state already has some of the highest electricity transmission and generation costs in the country.
"Anything that adds to that cost is just another reason for businesses not to come to Delaware," he said. "And for companies like PPG, it would have a really adverse effect to the bottom line and we would have to decide if it made sense to continue manufacturing in Delaware or move somewhere else."
In 2016, PJM temporarily scrapped the Artificial Island project in the wake of growing opposition but resurrected the project last March.
When the project was re-submitted for approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission last summer, two alternatives to the original cost-sharing plan were included. Under those proposals, Delmarva ratepayers would fund roughly 7 to 10 percent of the project's cost.
PJM, however, declined to endorse either alternative over the initial plan. The ultimate decision is now up to FERC and no one knows when a final decision might be reached.
"We're on pins and needles to see what they do," Howatt said. "I think FERC could potentially give us some relief and, if they do, this question of a kill switch would not be an issue."
A spokesman for PJM said the legislation passed by the Senate on Tuesday is not unusual.
"It is similar to what other states have," Jason McGovern said. "When projects bring value and have merit, they move ahead."
He declined to comment further on the bill's potential impact to the Artificial Island project.
An L.S. Power official said the legislation is "certainly something on everyone's radar."
"We understand the cost-share is an important issue," said Casey Carroll, director of project management for L.S. Power subsidiary Silver Run Electric. "That's why we plan to continue working with our partners in Delaware to get a fair allocation at FERC and I'm optimistic we will see something favorable in the near term."
Carroll declined to say whether L.S. Power would file a lawsuit if it's certification is blocked by the PSC.
"I hope that's a bridge we don't have to cross and I won't speculate any further," he said.

text: We captured 54 black bears (Ursus americanus) 91 times and equipped adult females with radio-transmitters in a managed forest in the mountains of South Carolina during the summers of 1991-1993 to determine population dynamics and female denning ecology. Ages of captured bears ranged from 1 to 10 years, averaging 3.3 + 0.3 (± 1 SE) for males and 3.7 ± 0.3 years for females. Litter size (N = 7, ˉx = 2.3), lactation rate (42.3 %), suspecting mean age at primiparity (4 years), and interbirth interval (2.2 years) were representative of a productive population and good-quality habitat. Eight female dens were visited and consisted of 3 ground nests, 2 root systems, 1 tree den, 1 brush pile, and 1 hollow log. Most dens (N = 5) were associated with early successional communities. Estimated population density for the 192-km2 study area was 0.31-0.34 bears/km2.

Ayia Napa Aqua Duct is a historic monument located at the west of the Ayia Napa Monastery. The aqua duct was the means of transferring and supplying with water the monastery of Ayia Napa as well as the surrounding region of Ayia Napa for hundreds of years.
There are several archaeological ruins found close to the monastery and the chapel of Ayia Thekla, which indicate the existence of an aqua duct that was built earlier during the Roman period. The monument as it is preserved today is an alteration of the Roman aqua duct. The reconstruction and alteration of the aqua duct is estimated during the Frankish period when the Ayia Napa Monastery was built. Ever since water from the hills between Ayia Napa and Protaras was carried through the a 2 kilometers long, subterranean rock cut channel to the region. Three barrel - shaped structures, known as the House of the Greeks, used to mark the original route of the channel. Excavations brought the monument to light during 1974 at a location known by the locals as "Mana tou Nerou", meaning "source of water".
Ayia Napa Aqua Duct is a complicated construction and it is obvious that it needed expertise to be built as well as a well organised system of maintenance on a regular basis. The construction shows the existence of people who constantly repaired any breaches, cleaned the debris, The constructors of the Ayia Napa Aqua Duct seem to have taken advantage of the principle of gravity to achieve delivering water to the monastery. There are also two spots along its route, where the constructors incorporated monolithic troughs in the channel to act as settling chambers and collect all heavy impurities of the running water. Additionally those two chambers helped smooth the running of the water right before each curve.
The water delivered to the monastery was stored in a large reservoir built under the enormous sycamore tree located at the monastery's courtyard. Some water was also diverted through a pipe to the Venetian fountain in the courtyard of the monastery. Ayia Napa Aqua Duct is probably one of the most important monuments that are preserved within Ayia Napa municipality. The construction of the Ayia Napa Aqua Duct was very important for the people of the region as water scarcity and lack of rivers was always a problem for them. The Cyprus Department of Antiquities and the Municipality of Ayia Napa have undertook a project of conservation of the aqua duct and in 2008 another 100 meters of the aqua duct were brought to light. The project continues in order to uncover the monument in its full length.

Following the recent prediction by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) on possible flooding later this year, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Imo State operations office, has warned Imo residents living in flood prone areas to be conscious of their environment and report any overflow of their river to appropriate authorities.
The Imo State Coordinator NEMA, Dr Innocent Ezeaku, gave this warning in Owerri the Imo State capital while addressing journalists at the headquarters of the agency.
He noted that Imo State was one of the most affected states of the 2012 flood and due to this measures are being put in place to ensure that in case of any such occurrence, there are measures put in place to ameliorate the effect.
He urged residents of Oguta and Ohaji Egbema Local Government Areas of the state to be more vigilant due to the presence of the Oguta lake, a tributary of the River Niger.
He, however, noted that agency has begun construction of IDP centers that will house displaced persons in case of any occurrence.
Mr Ezeaku also said due to the incessant rainfall, the state government must keep up with their monthly sanitation exercise to ensure drainages are not blocked.

And I’m almost sorry I did, because they were such fun to make! Here is a pic of the coat, with the leaves pinned into place:
I tried taking a closeup photo of the leaves, but it didn’t come out well – the iridescence got flattened out and the camera flash washed out the embroidered veins. So I’ll just have to tell you: the leaves look exquisite! Delicately detailed, neatly edged, and with colors shifting as the iridescence catches the light. Well worth the two hours I spent on each one.
Now I will sew the leaves down – just in the centers, letting the edges float free. And that will finish the outside of the coat! (I had considered embroidery or some light beading, but I think it looks great just as it stands.)
Tonight and Saturday I will work on the sleeve linings and the lining hem. I’m pretty confident I’ll finish the entire garment in time for the photo shoot. (Not that it matters that much: only the outside needs to be complete for the photo shoot, and I’ve finished that already!) Soon it will be time for the ritual sewing-in of the label, marking the completion of Autumn Splendor!
It looks beautiful! I really like that you added the fifth leaf, it ties them together and gives them movement.
Mary Coburn says
This is soooo beautiful!!!!! What a talented person you are, Tien!
Autumn Splendor finished–just in time for spring! 🙂
Have to admit that I was at first doubtful about the leaves–I feared they might look too much like an artsy-craftsy embellishment. But now that they’re (beautifully) done, I find that they give the woven leaf pattern a reason for existing. As always, an inspiring piece.
Gorgeous! Any chance you might make 1 more for a giveaway??

Two drivers died and 16 people were injured when a Citybus double-decker crashed into the back of a lorry which had broken down on a highway in West Kowloon on Monday.
The accident happened at about 10:30 am when the number 967 bus was traveling from Tin Shui Wai in the New Territories to Admiralty on Hong Kong Island when it plowed into a lorry which had broken down in the middle lane near the Elements shopping mall, the Oriental Daily reported.
According to footage from dashboard cameras and posted on social media, it appeared the bus driver did not brake. One set of footage shows a stationary white truck in the second lane of the four-lane highway with its tailgate down. And two objects, one white and one green, were on the road some distance from the truck.
Another bit if footage showed the bus plowing straight into the truck, with both vehicles hurled forward by the impact.
Bus driver So Kwok-wah, 59, who was thrown out of his vehicle, was declared dead at the scene. Truck driver Liem Dam-hung, 54, was rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital with life-threatening injuries but was later pronounced dead.
Ten women and five men on the bus suffered injuries. Liem’s wife, who was sitting inside the truck when the accident happened, suffered neck pain and was in shock. The Western Harbour Crossing was under fire after the accident as the truck was not towed away for almost an hour before it was rammed by the bus, Apple Daily reported.
