This week, a woman pushing a stroller went absolutely bonkers upon seeing two lesbian women kiss on a subway in Barcelona, Spain. One of the lesbians, Carla Gallén, posted video of the lesbophobe’s rant online.
In a tweet (below), Gallén wrote, “On Wednesday afternoon, my partner and I suffered homophobic aggression on the underground. A woman insulted and attacked us for kissing.”
In the video, the woman uses slurs and insults against the lesbian couple and even calls her own gay brother a “f*ggot.” Here are some of her hateful lines from the video:
D*ke, d*ke what are you going to do with a video? … You disgust me, I have a gay brother, but he doesn’t kiss in front of me because he respects me….
If you want respect, you also have to respect me… Stop recording or I’ll take your phone…. This c*cksucker is recording me.
Here’s video of the woman’s expletive-filled rant:

Dimecres a la tarda la meva parella i jo vam patir una agressió lesbòfoba a la L2 del metro. Una dona ens va insultar i agredir per fer-nos un petó. @OCL_H @BarcelonaLGTBI @tv3cat @CCMA_cat @Toni_Cruanyes @mossos @JovesLambdaBcn @caladona @bcn_ajuntament @TMB_Barcelona pic.twitter.com/cRl80ra5or

Gallén said, “Insults and threats continued for 10 minutes. In the middle of a wagon full of people. Nobody moved a finger. It is very easy to put ‘badges’ on the day of Pride, but LGBTQIA + people continue to suffer daily violence with this type of aggression.”
Gallén and her partner reportedly told police about the incident as well as the Observatory Against Homophobia, a regional organization which monitors anti-LGBTQ discrimination.
This video of public harassment comes barely a week after another video went viral of a homophobe at McDonald’s threatening to “beat the gay out of” a gay man during Barcelona Pride weekend. The homophobe was enraged over the gay man’s clothing which he considered to be inappropriate even though it was merely denim overalls and a bright green tank top.
Both videos show bigots and their irrational pre-occupation with policing people’s gender expression.

Growing interest in using Electromechanical Actuators (EMAs) to replace current hydraulic actuation methods on aircraft control surfaces has driven significant research in the area of prognostics and health management. Non- stationary speeds and loads in the course of controlling an aircraft surface make fault identification in EMAs difficult. This work presents a time- frequency analysis of EMA thrust bearing vibration signals using wavelet transforms. A relatively small EMA system is designed and built to allow for simple, quick, and repeatable component replacement. A simulated signal is developed to test four potential faults in the system. Classification is performed using an artificial neural network (ANN), which yields over 99% accuracy. Indentation faults from moderate and heavy loads are seeded in thrust bearings, which are then tested to generate data. The ANN achieves 95% classification accuracy in a two class scenario using healthy and moderately indented bearings. A three class test is executed using thrust bearings at each level of damage to perform preliminary remaining useful life (RUL) testing, where an ANN is able to identify the fault severity with an accuracy of 88%.

An organisation called Tracking Happiness surveyed 11,537 respondents from the United States in a study called Eat Green, Be Happy: Evidence Of The Connection Between Veganism And Happiness, which found that the average happiness rating was higher amongst vegans and vegetarians.
“We believe that happiness and sustainability go hand in hand. Sustainable behavior is linked to increased mental health”
The researchers asked questions such as, “If you look back at the last year of your life, how would you rate your happiness on a scale from 1 to 10?” and found that the average happiness rating of all 11,537 respondents was 6.90, but was found to be higher amongst vegans.
- Vegans report higher happiness levels than meat-eaters (+7%).
- Happier people are more likely to turn vegan in the future.
- Only 14% of our meat-eating respondents reported a negative bias towards vegans. Non-vegans aren’t nearly as opposed to veganism as the stereotypes suggest.
- 16% of meat-eaters consider themselves likely to ever adopt a 100% plant-based diet.
“We found that data on vegan stigmas and happiness is either lacking or outdated”
The average happiness rating of each group was calculated as:
- Vegans: 7.27
- Vegetarians: 7.31
- Pescatarians: 6.99
- Meat-eaters: 6.80
- Total average: 6.90
Hugo Huijer, Founder of Tracking Happiness, commented: “We believe that happiness and sustainability go hand in hand. Sustainable behavior is linked to increased mental health, which is why it’s so important to talk about the consumption of animal products. Even though the positive environmental effect of veganism cannot be disputed, there is still a negative stigma surrounding people who claim to be vegan.
“We landed on this study subject when we found that data on vegan stigmas and happiness is either lacking or outdated. And since it’s clear that people generally only change their opinions when faced with new data and facts, we want to provide a meaningful source of information that could stimulate this change. We sincerely hope that our findings help people make informed decisions regarding sustainability, happiness and the consumption of animal products.”

I really enjoy learning, and writing, about drones. There are a lot of applications for drone technology, ranging from the more mundane (but fun!) pizza delivery to cutting-edge drones being used as first responders in search and rescue operations. So, what’s even cooler than a drone flying through the air? Drones swimming through the water, of course!
We’ve seen drone technology and additive manufacturing used to help make the NEMO (Nautical Exploratory Modular Observer) and the Blue Robotics submarine drone with 3D printed thruster, and who could forget the CRACUNS submersible drone that can go straight from underwater to high in the air? Now, Italy-based WitLab has taken to the water as well – meet the 3D printed ArcheoRov.The ArcheoRov is an underwater ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle). It doesn’t seem too intimidating at first – it’s less than 60cm long, and it’s not super speedy. But it can “swim” like a fish, instead of remaining stationary in one spot, and is 3D printed. WitLab’s Dr. Emanuele Rocco, one of the creators of ArcheoRov, explained that what’s really impressive about it is the acceleration of the design – from concept to delivery, the customized ArcheoRov only took ten weeks.
ArcheoRov was built in the Roverto WitLab, which is in the green Manufacturing Project incubator of Trentino Development. It was designed and built for Arc-Team, a company that provides multiple services in the cultural heritage field, including underwater archaeology, aerial shots by flying drones, archival research and historical studies, and archaeological excavations.
“The project was created to archaeological requirements. Six months ago l’Arc-Team Cles asked us a small submarine drone to explore the depths of the alpine lakes,” Andrea Saiani, the other ArcheoRov creator, explained to Wired Italy (translated). “It weighs 6 pounds, compared with 70-80 pounds of products already on the market, therefore, an archaeologist you can carry in a backpack. It costs about 2,500 Euros, against an average of 25 thousand.”
Dr. Rocco explained that ArcheoRov is able to orient its body upwards or downwards, in order to get the best view possible from one of its two cameras, as it is able to “tip itself on end and sink or rise in seconds.” This characteristic makes the little underwater ROV perfect for sweeping visual surveys, necessary for archaeological expeditions. Its small size makes it suitable for the job Arc-Team needs it for: hard-to-reach stone age relics that are preserved deep in mountain lakes.ArcheoRov’s two batteries are sealed inside pressure-resistant units. The maneuverability comes from its three 130W T100 electric thrusters: one downward facing thruster at the rear, and two facing forward at the front. Each thruster packs 2.36 kg of push, which is enough to pull along the attached WiFi-enabled buoy that provides researchers at the surface a data link to the ArcheoRov. Dr. Rocco said once, when he got tired, the ArcheoRov was even able to tow him along. Eventually, the researchers would like to be able to get rid of the wire-guided buoy and “mount a GPS system to draw an area to be scanned automatically by flaps of the robot, which then reports the data of his observations to the researcher.”
The research team had a lot of ideas at the beginning, and used one of WitLab’s rapid prototyping machines to print up three possible candidates. Once they constructed the plastic outline for what would become the ArcheoRov, they just needed to attach the motors, which were powered from a source outside the tank, and see what type of configuration gave them the response they were looking for. Finally, ArcheoRov had its first successful underwater outing in Madrone Alpine Lake, in Trentino, Italy, at 2,400m altitude.
One of the most pertinent features of the ArcheoRov is that the design is open source, so anyone with a 3D printer and a love for things under the sea is able to access it and build their own ArcheoRov. It uses the Robot Operating System (ROS), which is a set of open source software tools and libraries. Dr. Rocco believes that we are entering a new phase of professional experimentation, where researchers can work on assembling their own ROV or drone for the exact purpose they need, whether it’s pollution monitoring, marine biology, exploring reefs and shipwrecks, and archaeologists who research the seabed.
Dr. Rocco said, “This is important because by doing so we are enabling the developer community to easily add their custom software extensions or even make ArcheoROV semiautonomous…Now it’s quick and cheap, people can design their own ROV.”
The ArcheoRov hardware was designed using SOLIDWORKS, and software written using Python. The first model, with a camera for navigation and one for 3D shooting, is already available, but WitLab is already back to the drawing board, developing a sonar-equipped version with a thermometer and a mechanical arm. A Kickstarter campaign is in the works for next year.

This testing is usually performed in the office and has been used for more than 100 years. Skin testing includes scratch tests (typically on the forearm or back), patch tests, and intradermal tests. Skin tests can include up to 50-60 allergens at one time, depending on your medical history. These tests are typically well tolerated but may produce itching in the affected area.

The Reciproque designer resale boutique in Paris is one of many sources… (Jemi Armstrong )
We’ve all seen it, and we all want it: The most premium, couture fashions from the most exclusive of designers. Yet most of us, covetous as we are, cannot afford it. Or can we? According to the authors of the soon-to-be-released book “Affordable Couture” (Vivays Publishing), the high end is accessible to everyone. You just have to know how to source it. We caught up with co-authors Jemi Armstrong and Linda Arroz to talk about some of their secrets for finding couture on the cheap.
All the Rage: Isn’t it really just a small percentage of people who can truly afford couture?
Jemi Armstrong: No. Normal women can go out and get couture or high-end designer clothes now if they just know how. A lot of this started when I came home with a $1,500 pair of Manolo Blahnik knee-high black suede boots I bought for $87 at Nordstrom’s Rack. You can do this. Women can look really great and have really beautiful things and do it without a lot of money.
All the Rage: Where’s a good place to start looking?
Linda Arroz: The first thing anybody can do is Google and look for flash sales, or online pop-up stores. They’re temporary online offers private to members only. There’s usually no charge to belong to the group, and you get first dibs, which is actually the name of one of the greatest sites of all.
All the Rage: How about resale?
Linda Arroz: In Santa Monica alone, there are multiple resale shops within walking distance. You could do your own walking tour. If you really want to get into this, you’re going to everything from thrift to resale to high-end vintage resale couture shops like The Way We Wore.
Jemi Armstrong: Timing is everything. In Paris, there’s a store where the designers take their samples. It’s called Reciproque, and it’s a block long. There’s rack after rack after rack of stuff that is samples, and it’s all designer stuff. So there’s a brand new Jean Paul Gaultier jacket that’s $250, but originally it was on the runway for $3,000. In L.A., after the Academy Awards, actresses bring their gowns to resale shops.
Linda Arroz: The stars can’t wear clothes like we do. Once the star’s been photographed, that’s it for that dress.
Jemi Armstrong: Every single season a celebrity may have 25 or 30 pairs of Manolos she sends to a resale shop.
All the Rage: Affordable couture isn’t only about consignment, though. You can also buy it new, right?
Linda Arroz: Absolutely. There are Premium Outlet Malls all over the world, many of which have outlets for luxury brands. Loehmann’s has its Back Room, which is where the high-end designer goods are. In the L.A. area, there are two Premium Outlet Malls within an hour of the city. A lot of companies have started making their own products for their own outlets, so while the style is the same, the fabric is different. In Milan, one of the six shopping cities we cover in the book, designers have their own outlets. In Italy, you can go to the Prada outlet.
All the Rage: What’s driving the desire for couture?
Linda Arroz: Reality TV, "Project Runway," "America’s Next Top Model" and all the celebrities on the red carpet have created this interest. TV shows like "Downton Abbey" are driving sales of vintage clothes through the roof. A few years ago, a lot of the museums started to do these retrospectives of designer collections.
All the Rage: Is the interest in couture in some way a reaction to fast fashion?
Linda Arroz: I think women are really frustrated by fast fashion in spite of the fact that it’s really exciting that a lot of designers are doing things for H&M. These clothes don’t last. You wear them a few times, throw them in the washer, and they fall apart. There’s an awareness of the difference now. Years ago when we discovered we could go to Target for our basics and buy an investment piece at Barneys or Bloomie’s, that opened a lot of people’s eyes that you could mix these price points. And then moving forward, women are looking to develop their own personal style, and they don’t want to look like cookie cutters. They don’t want to have the outfit that was on every floor way in a department store and are collecting and buying clothes that are very unique.
All the Rage: In the book, you walk readers through the history of couture, key pieces for a woman’s wardrobe and couture care, which can be challenging. What do regular women get out of wearing couture?
Linda Arroz: The book points out how couture is constructed. The clothes feel so good on your body, they can elevate your self esteem.
Jemi Armstrong: There’s a paragraph in the book about the Masonic handshake. It talks about how when you walk into a room wearing a Margiela jacket, you’re instantly accepted by everyone in the room who’s in the know.

The government announced the safeguards on Friday, March 6, in response to falling oil prices and the rising value of the US dollar, which Ecuador has used as its national currency since 2000. As a result, Ecuador is running a significant trade deficit (importing more than it exports), leading the government to try to “control the general level of imports.”I.e., to interfere with Ecuadorians who want to buy what they need at the lowest prices.
Ditto, it's all about us (the political powers).The provision will last for 15 months, increasing taxes by between 5 and 45 percent on thousands of imported items, with the government hoping to reduce its deficit by 8 percent.
What about the poor who lose their jobs in the import sector?President Rafael Correa justified the action by citing the need to counter the drop in the price of Ecuadorian crude. He added that as the affected products are “luxury” imports, the impact of safeguards “will be minimal” because such goods “are not consumed by the poor.”

New tool Vascular Enabled Nanosecond pulse reversibly open the blood-brain-barrier
A new technology that may assist in the treatment of brain cancer and other neurological diseases is the subject of an article in a recent issue of the journal Technology, published by World Scientific Publishing Company. According to the authors, the current medical use of chemotherapy to treat brain cancer can be inefficient because of the blood-brain-barrier that impedes the delivery of drugs out of blood vessels and into the tumor.
Cancer is just when the cells start to go astray and tend to rapidly divide and start behaving abnormally. What we are working on are several different types of cancer: brain cancer pancreatic cancer and skin cancer.
Essentially the most painful aspect of the surgery is delivering the anesthesia through a syringe. That's Rafael Davalos, an associate professor of biomedical engineer at Virginia Tech..
Rafael Davalos says the procedure has thus far been successfully tested on horses and dogs with melanoma, skin cancer and tumors. Davalos: The technology could be used to treat almost any tumor..

Thousands of professionals from all over the world gathered for what is now a key event for the environment sector.
The fair aims to connect private companies and public environmental stakeholders to drive the development of their ecological transition projects forward. It is also an opportunity to spotlight the sector’s latest technical and technological innovations. All-in-all it is a great opportunity for the 70,000 participating professionals from 128 countries represented this year to meet – among them Veolia!
In 2018 Pollutec innovated: it organized the first international summit for cities and territories driving the circular economy. Lyon invited both representatives of municipalities - French, European and international - and local entrepreneurs. An unprecedented event where they could discuss their shared goal: to make circular economy a local political priority.
The circular economy, a priority for citiesRepresentatives of municipalities from all over the world responded to the invitation: Canton, Dakar, Chicago, Oslo, Quebec and Irkutsk (Russia). The city of Ouagadougou - capital of Burkina Faso, a country with a high demand for environmental solutions - especially in water and waste treatment - was guest of honor.
On the program: site and business visits around Lyon, pitches from circular economy entrepreneurs and workshops highlighting innovative initiatives. All feeding the debates about a wide range of ecological issues such as the local economy, resource and materials management, and new uses and lifestyles.
The cities also shared their experiences in implementing their local circular strategy and their thoughts as regards developing a shared roadmap. This unprecedented global gathering was an important reminder of the role played by municipalities in promoting and implementing the circular economy.

Jackie Vanjari, a distinguished music producer with a career spanning over three decades, embarked on his musical journey alongside the legendary RD Burman. His association with films like “Ijaazat,” “Parinda,” and “1942: A Love Story” is a testament to his remarkable contributions to the Indian music industry. Throughout his career, Jackie has had the privilege of working with various actors and industry legends, including the iconic Amitabh Bachchan. His journey has been marked by continuous learning and a deep passion for music.
The Role of Actors in Music Creation:
In the world of music and cinema, it’s not uncommon for actors to take a keen interest in the creation of songs, background scores, and post-production. Many actors visit recording studios to immerse themselves in the creative process and gain insights into how music complements their performances. Jackie’s interactions with actors have been largely positive, with actors often sharing their valuable input and reactions to the music being created for their films.
The Digital Transformation of Music:
- Advertisement -
Over the past two decades, the entertainment industry has witnessed significant digital innovation that has profoundly impacted music production. Jackie acknowledges the positive aspects of this transformation, particularly how it has changed the way music is created. Music production has become increasingly digitized, enabling composers and producers to craft music from their own studios, regardless of their geographic location. Additionally, artists can connect with their global fan base through live-streaming performances, allowing them to share their music and engage with their audiences on a worldwide scale. This digital revolution has ushered in a new era for the music industry, offering unprecedented opportunities and possibilities.
The Personal Significance of Music:
For Jackie Vanjari, music is more than just a profession; it’s a way of life. Music has been the driving force behind his incredible journey, leading him to success, recognition, and the chance to meet exceptional individuals. Music, in his eyes, is a profound expression of the human experience. He finds inspiration in listening to music from various cultures and regions across the world. Growing up, the legendary Michael Jackson was a source of immense inspiration and remains Jackie’s all-time favorite. He laments not having the opportunity to collaborate with the King of Pop, underscoring the lasting impact of Jackson’s music on his life.
Jackie Vanjari’s journey through the ever-evolving music industry is a testament to his enduring passion for music and his ability to adapt to the changing technological landscape. His experiences and encounters with renowned actors and artists have enriched his musical odyssey, making it an exceptional and fulfilling adventure.

I’ve been waiting for a well-known conservative third-party candidate to announce a run against McCain in the fall. Someone who can pull some votes away from the moderate Republican candidate and possibly give our guy or gal a boost.
Unfortunately, the closest thing we have so far is an announcement by Alan Keyes that he’s leaving the GOP and thinking about running as a Constitution Party candidate on an anti-immigrant platform.
Keyes made the announcement on Tuesday night in the ‘ballroom’ of Genetti’s Best Western Inn in Hazleton, PA.
Supposedly there were about 60 people attending the announcement- and quite a few empty chairs.
Nothing personal, Alan, but this isn’t exactly the big announcement I’ve been hoping for.

UK transplant, UAlbany awarded $750K from state for R&D
- Richard A. D'Errico
- The Business Review
The New York State Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR) has awarded $750,000 to the state University at Albany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering to support a joint research initiative with Vistec Lithography, a U.K.-basked company relocating to the Albany, N.Y., region.
Vistec, which makes equipment for semiconductor manufacturers including Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc., last week opened its research and development operation at the college, which is located on the Albany NanoTech campus. Two researchers have relocated from England. Eventually, 10 researchers will work out of that site.
NYSTAR Executive Director Michael Relyea said the $750,000 comes from NYSTAR's technology transfer incentive program.
Vistec Lithography's president and chairman, Papken DerTorossian, said the money would "play an important role in advancing Vistec's technology and business."
Vistec also will have an operation at the Watervliet Arsenal. The company will use $30 million from the state Assembly and $125 million of its own to invest in the arsenal, including retrofitting Building 125, and set up R&D and manufacturing facilities. Vistec expects to create 135 jobs at the arsenal.
"They [Vistec] wanted to locate their R&D here," said Alain Kaloyeros, vice president and chief administrative officer of the College of Nanoscale Science. "We made them an offer they couldn't refuse."

WASHINGTON – Former secretary of state Colin Powell dismissed the criticism leveled at him and others in vice president Dick Cheney’s memoir, calling them “cheap shots.’’
It was the latest volley in a clash that stretches back to their first years in former President George W. Bush’s administration.
Powell said that if Cheney’s staff and others in Bush’s White House had been as forthcoming as the State Department in the case involving CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson, the indictment and conviction of Cheney’s friend and former chief of staff wouldn’t have happened.
Powell made the remarks yesterday on CBS’s “Face the Nation’’ ahead of tomorrow’s release of Cheney’s book, “In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir.’’ Cheney said in an earlier NBC interview that the book would cause “heads to explode’’ in Washington, a description Powell said he expected from a supermarket tabloid and not a former vice president.
“From what I’ve read in the newspapers and seen on television, it’s essentially a rehash of events of seven or eight years ago.’’
Cheney and Powell had numerous disagreements in the administration, particularly over policy toward Iraq and the run-up to the 2003 invasion by US-led forces. Still, Powell called Cheney’s description of how Powell went outside with his criticism of administration policies “nonsense.’’
“Mr. Cheney has had a long and distinguished career, and I hope in his book that’s what he will focus on, not these cheap shots that he’s taking at me and other members of the administration who served to the best of our ability for President Bush,’’ Powell said.

Valentine’s Day is less than one week away! So if you’re lucky enough to be in a relationship, you may wanna do something about it. In fact even if you’re not in a relationship, and you just like buying decent cards for weddings and things, you may also want to check out the following from Share Creative:
In the run up to 14th February, hundreds of people in the UK will send Prime Minister a Valentine’s Card to raise awareness of the 27 million people all over the world (including the UK) who won’t be shown that they are a Special Someone. These are the people that are trafficked into situations including prostitution, begging, forced labour, military service and domestic service.
This year, you can help stand against human trafficking through a number of the ‘Special Someone’ initiatives.
There is an opportunity to buy Valentine’s cards for your loved ones at www.treatsomeonespecial.com. For each card sold, another will be sent to David Cameron asking him to hold to his commitment to prioritise tackling the trade in people and opt in to the revised EU Directive on Human Trafficking. Proceeds from the cards will support the work of anti-trafficking agencies.
Last May, when the Coalition Government formed, they promised to make tackling human trafficking a priority. However, the UK is currently one of only two EU member states that are yet to opt in to the directive – an agreement which offers better protection to child trafficking victims, greater powers to prosecute traffickers and protection for victims in criminal proceedings.
There are a host of other creative initiatives on the Special Someone website. Sarah Burnett of Share Creative says, “With human trafficking now the fastest growing illegal industry, we need to realise that it’s a very real, very lucrative and very close problem. As we treat those we love this Valentine’s Day we’re also taking action to fight the treatment of people as commodities.”

Spent a couple of nights here when working in the MArkham area and found it more convivial than the larger chain hotels near by. Welcoming foyer, open bar area with wifi and plenty of relaxing seating.
Room was standard business affair with large bed, desk, TV and en suite. Very functional and nothing more.
Breakfast offering in downstairs cafe area was a good mix of healthy continental-style as well as more traditional North American fare.

1⁄720The USS Massachusetts BB-59
FINAL CONSTRUCTIONThe most noticeable difference between the wartime battlewagon and the museum ship today is the presence of civilians. The museum is popular, and on the day we visited the ship it was filled with people. To suggest that busy atmosphere I added 22 GMM photoetched brass figures, painting them in shorts, brightly colored shirts, dresses—anything I could think of that looked non-military. They added touches of color to the drab vessel, and they also helped convey a sense of the massiveness of the real ship… which is not so easy to do on an 11 inch long model!
Just for fun I painted some of the figures to represent members of my family who visited the museum with me that day. I tried to make them accurate, painting them to match family photos taken aboard the ship, even trimming down two of the tiny figures to represent my young daughters. They were then scattered in groups throughout the ship. I thought this was pretty subtle, but when my seven year old found out I had done this she quickly located and identified every person!
CONCLUSIONSRevell’s Massachusetts is typical of their late 1960s model kits: inexpensive and easy to assemble with basically correct outline and lots of attractive surface detail. It is a great project for a kid to have fun with, and I loved it when I built it all those years ago. For the more experienced modeler, though, getting this old girl into shape can be a real challenge. This time around it took me much more effort to get a pleasing result, but, like the first time, I had a lot of fun with it!

To configure an AOS instance as a batch server go to System Administration > Setup > System and open Server Configuration form. Select the AOS instance to configure from the grid on the left. Check Is batch server to specify this instance as a batch server. Expand the fast tab Batch Server Schedule. Mention the Maximum batch threads along with start and end times.
Please note that maximum batch threads only controls how many concurrent threads will be running on this instance. You can create as many threads as you like in x++. For example, maximum batch threads is set to 20 and your x++ code is creating 30 threads to perform a job. In this case, first 20 out of 30 threads will be running concurrently while the remaining 10 threads will be in the waiting state till the first 20 threads finish their job.
You can specify multiple maximum batch threads and bind them to specific time slots using Start time and End time. In this way we can configure the same AOS instance to allow different maximum batch threads in different time slots. For example, in rush hours we can specify more concurrent threads as compared to idle hours!

Hospitals Warn Against Massive OHP Changes
May 17, 2011 – The Oregon hospital association confirmed it’s prepared to finalize an agreement with lawmakers to increase the hospital provider tax as a way to dampen the massive cuts to the Oregon Health Plan slated over the next two years.
The tax is used to leverage federal dollars and pay for the entire OHP Standard population comprised of about 75,000 current enrollees who represent an expanded Medicaid population. The proposed increase to the provider tax would extend to services for all OHP clients.
“It’s a pretty dangerous thing,” Kevin Earls, vice president of policy and advocacy for the Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems, told the Statesman Journal editorial board last week. “The governor has committed to us that if we do that, it is a temporary measure. It’s obviously a big moment in trying to address the problem.”
A video of the interview with Earls and Norman Gruber, CEO of Salem Hospital, at the Statesman Journal offices in Salem was posted on the hospital association’s web site last week.
Instead of a proposed 19 percent reduction to hospital and physician reimbursements in the first year of the 2011-2013 biennium, and around 34 percent in the second year – as Governor John Kitzhaber has proposed based on assumed savings -- an increased hospital provider tax could reduce the impact by about 7 percent. Providers would then be looking at 12 percent and 27 percent reductions.
But it may not be enough to stem the catastrophic consequences that will come as Oregon prepares to transform the OHP delivery system at the same time, according to Earls.
“This will have a decimating impact on care to Oregon’s poor and vulnerable,” he said. “It will severely challenge the healthcare delivery system particularly hospitals.”
Both Earls and Gruber issued a harsh criticism of the governor’s plan to transform the Oregon Health Plan delivery system. Gruber said the cuts will likely create a massive access problem that will force more people to the emergency room and drive up the cost of commercial insurance.
“You’re not going to transform healthcare in one or two years and certainly not by making huge cuts. You have to change how healthcare is delivered,” Gruber said. “You’re going to have to really change how you deliver it and reduce consumption. I would rather see the creation of more clinics.”
The governor’s proposal, which is currently taking shape as HB 3650, seeks to integrate physical, mental and oral healthcare services under Coordinated Care Organizations and global budgets. The plan estimates savings in the second year of around $500 million in total funds.
Lawmakers passed the bill out of committee on Monday to mixed reviews.
“I don’t believe where we are going with this, nor did I at the beginning, that we are going to be able to achieve in the next biennium enough efficiencies for whatever transformation model to essentially mitigate the effects of those costs,” said Rep. Mitch Greenlick (D-Portland). “We are going to end up wtih Medicaid people who aren't going to be able to get physician services. But I do think the transformation takes a step toward the future. That is a very important thing.”
Rep. Jim Thompson (R-Dallas) said he was very concerned.
“We didn't get it right,” Thompson said. “We set off to transform healthcare, and we didn't do it. We knew we couldn't do it in one sweep. The budget cuts are going to be very Draconian.”
Gov. Kitzhaber called the bill an important first step in reducing healthcare costs.
“The cost of health care is perhaps the fastest growing cost for families, individuals and businesses,” according to sa press release from Kitzhaber. “This move by the legislature is an important first step in giving Oregon a leadership role in reforming the healthcare system for our state and, perhaps, the nation.”
Earls, last week, stressed the disproportionate burden the state’s Medicaid population is being asked to shoulder in relation to the overall state budget shortfall.
Not including the education budget, which has already been settled, the state faces a $735 million general fund budget shortfall in the next biennium. Some $698 million is slated to come from the Oregon Health Authority budget, representing a total of $1.19 billion including federal matching funds.
Out of those cuts, 88 percent is slated to come from Medicaid. Reductions to hospital reimbursements are likely to account for around 42 percent of the state’s remaining budget shortfall, according to Earls.
“That is a devastating balancing act for a state budget to land on the shoulders of Oregon’s poor and vulnerable citizens,” Earls said. “We think that’s a story that’s not understood. In a time like this Oregon needs to share the sacrifice. The picture we’re presenting presents a different concept of sharing. The focus of budget cuts land in a very disproportionate way on the Medicaid program and its enrollees.”

Security was being stepped up at first class lounges across Britain’s airports following the announcement of a new 75% tax rate for French millionaires. Meanwhile in France, thousands of elegantly-coutoired refugees massed at known getaway routes across their country – Gare du Nord, Charles de Gaulle, Orly, etc – facing an uncertain future with nothing but the hope that life would be better in Britain, and their enormous personal wealth.
Faced with this immigration crisis, Britain’s Prime Minister spoke out decisively. “In this crowded island, there can be no place for those not willing to pay their way” he said. “That’s why we’ll be rolling out the red carpet to any rich Frenchies that want to pay less tax.”
But others have been plunged into confusion. Latest reports suggest that civil war has broken out inside the offices of the Daily Mail, with pro-tax dodger factions from the business, property, fashion and celebrity wings of the paper pitted against diehard anti-French fanatics from politics and editorial staff. “This could get nasty” said one former staffer, “the antis are faced with something that destroys the basis of their entire worldview: foreigners who push up house prices.” It is thought that a decisive factor could be the attitude of the paper’s non-UK-domiciled owner, Lord Rothermere, who was unfortunately not available for comment at any of his UK addresses.
In the midst of this, what do the refugees themselves think? Traditionally, no one asks or cares, but through the miracles of modern technology the hitherto voiceless continental migrants have been able to speak to the British people, via a YouTube video recorded on one of their smartphones: “Yes we are coming to buy apartments and safe deposit boxes, but actually live in Britain? What would we eat? Don’t worry, we will be using our return tickets.”

WRIN (1560 AM AM) is a radio station in Rensselaer, Indiana. The Broadcasting Yearbook notes it was founded by 5 partners on September 14, 1963. Rensselaer is about 84.5 miles (136.0 km) south of Chicago in Jasper County, Indiana.
According to Standard Rate and Data service, the daytime only Class D radio station would cover Jasper, White, Newton, Benton and Pulaski counties. No other radio stations were located in any of these counties.
WRIN is important because, other than the local newspaper, The Rensselaer Republican it was the only local media for more than 10 years. Today, other local radio media exists in Earl Park, Monticello, Kentland, and Winamac, all within the original coverage of WRIN.
FCC records show that among the investors, Tony Capparelli (a landfill owner from Chicago Heights, Illinois), his wife, also Tony Capparelli Jr, Tony DiCarlo (son-in-law to Capparelli), and Bob Becker, an employee of the other radio stations owned by Capparelli and DiCarlo. These people earlier started WCGO, Chicago Heights, Illinois.
Early employees of WRIN were Sports director Bob Hayes, Ted Hayes (now at WKVI, Knox, Indiana), Rev. Harry McCorkel (news director), Neal Nussbaum, Larry Nudelman (afternoon announcer), Norm Miller (now on staff at the FCC), Weekend announcers Ron Hickman, Joe Shank, and Tom Jurek, who started as an announcer, later owner/manager.
Program schedules note that the 7:30 morning news round-up was a popular daily broadcast. Local minister and news director Harry McCorkel developed this local news program, bringing his reel to reel tape recorder to many local meetings. The program prospered with seven local annual advertisers, Earl Butz, Paul Harvey, and NBC Radio.
Many local features gave WRIN a "hometown" feel. They included local birthdays and anniversaries, pet patrol, "local names making news" also a "local talent" feature, where area people played instruments, sang, and displayed their entertainment ability, lots of trivia quizzes, a daily "music battle" where 2 pop songs faced off, and people voted by phone for their favorite, "the voice of the people" where you could express your opinion on a daily topic, and always emphasis on local happenings.
WRIN annually covered the Jasper, Newton, White, Pulaski and Benton county fairs, doing live remote broadcasts from each location. The station also covered local elections for those same counties.
Farm programs, including market reports, dotted the schedule, with more emphasis on farm news early morning, noontime, and when the market closed. Local farmer Wally Laird contributed to the local farm information, bringing many local guests to the airwaves. Information included "grain elevator reports", featuring corn, wheat and bean prices from ten local grain elevators.
Radio consultants told Jurek that WRIN was successful because there was sparse local competition, and the Chicago radio stations have never served Northwest Indiana very well. It was a "natural" to attract national farm advertisers like Pioneer Seed Corn and John Deere Tractors. Also, this region is quite isolated, due to "far away" geography and "low" population, as well as rural culture rather than "big city" culture from Chicago. The Gary/Hammond (North) area was an industrial and bedroom community area while the Lafayette (South) was a college and manufacturing area that was very culturally different from the five very rural counties served by WRIN.
WRIN featured "Compu Weather" reports 4 times every hour. Since Rensselaer is in "tornado alley" local sponsors lined up to advertise on this important feature.
The station also aired a 2 hour daily talk show "Sound Off" that Bob Becker hosted, featuring listener phone calls, lots of local issues and very conservative politics. Hosting Sound Off eventually led politically conservative Bob Becker to a sponsored journey to Viet Nam.
WRIN also featured Trading Post and Harry Martin's Rural Radio Network.
Saturdays featured American Top 40 in the morning, the Texaco Metropolitan Opera radio broadcasts, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Notre Dame football, Chicago Cubs and Bears games, Bob Gaskin's Saturday afternoon Gospel Music program, and featured 1940-1970's middle-of-the-road music during the week.
Sundays were mostly devoted to religious programming sign-on to sign off. The exception was the late morning Chet Gulinski Polka Show. WRIN featured many local ministers and national religious programs like Words of Hope, Jimmy Swaggart, Kenneth Copeland, The PTL Club, the 700 Club, and The Lutheran Hour. Local Sunday programs included First Baptist Church with Cal Eastwood, Bethany Calls and Bethany Church service with Harry McCorkel, St. Augustine Church Catholic Mass, First Reformed Church in DeMotte, the Wheatfield Full Gospel Tabernacle, and many others.
Jurek also bought the local FM station, (WJCK), and changed the call letters to WLQI (Lucky Radio). As WJCK, the station was started by John Felthouse, a retired broadcast engineer from WBBM, Chicago. Felthouse mostly tracked beautiful music albums until he sold to Thom Brown, who had previous radio management experience with Group W Westinghouse Broadcasting. Under Brown,the WJCK format was "country music." When Jurek purchased the station and changed the call letters to WLQI, the format became "adult hits" briefly using Drake-Chenault syndication.
From 1973-1985 Tom Jurek hosted the "WRIN Morning Wake up Show" that (according to Arbitron radio ratings) had the largest share of the local listening audience. Harry McCorkel, Rick Klingaman, Doug Booth and others served as News Director. Local news was broadcast from 7:30-8:40, Noon-12:20, and following NBC radio Network News nearly every hour.
By January 1977, Becker died. Jurek bought controlling shares and, according to accounting records, the station prospered even more. FCC Records show that Jurek had a construction permit to begin an FM station in Winamac, Indiana. That frequency became a Religious format station.
In 1985 Jurek sold WRIN, WLQI and the Winamac permit to John Balvich, Brothers Broadcasting, who has operated the stations since.
