EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE – A Global Hawk robot spyplane known as N-1 completed a 10-hour cross-continental flight from Edwards Air Force Base to the U.S. Navy’s air testing base in Maryland. The N-1, the first RQ-4A Global Hawk delivered to the U.S. Navy, went to Naval Air Station Patuxent River in preparation for the Navy’s Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment 2006. “The successful delivery of N-1 to Pax River marks a major milestone in the joint development of the Global Hawk reconnaissance system,” said Col. Christopher Cook, 412th Operations Group Commander. The unmanned, computer-controlled reconnaissance aircraft is one of two acquired by the U.S. Navy through the Global Hawk Maritime Demonstration Program. Other Global Hawks have operated for the U.S. Air Force over Iraq and Afghanistan. The Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment is a worldwide training exercise. The Global Hawk will demonstrate unmanned long-endurance sea surveillance for the Navy, the Department of Defense and Homeland Security agencies. Prior to its flight from Edwards to Maryland, the aircraft was deemed safe for flight in national airspace by Edwards’ Global Vigilance Combined Test Force. “This flight clearance will allow the U.S. Navy to conduct routine flight operations with the (Global Hawk) system in and out of Patuxent River with manned aircraft,” said Terry Barefoot, Northrop Grumman’s Global Hawk Maritime Demonstration program manager. Global Hawks are assembled by Northrop Grumman in Palmdale. Flight testing was done at Edwards to evaluate the performance of sensor modifications for the Navy. The modifications were developed beginning in 2001 when the Global Hawk program, working with the Australian government, developed maritime modes for the Global Hawk’s synthetic aperture radar. The modes were initially tested at Edwards, and then demonstrated during a deployment to Australia in the fall of 2001, said Tony Kaiser, Edwards’ 412th Test Wing project manager for Global Hawk. “The U.S. Navy adapted these modes to the production Global Hawk SAR and developed maritime modes that met their requirements,” Kaiser said. “These maritime modes were again tested at Edwards by a combined Global Vigilance CTF and Navy test team.” The Navy Global Hawk’s cross-country flight plan was designed to keep it away from population centers and congested airspace. The mission plan also had to accommodate emergency planning that would allow the aircraft to land at an alternate runway or in an unpopulated area across the entire continent, Edwards officials said. The flight route was coordinated with the FAA and other airspace controlling agencies across the United States and all emergency landing points were coordinated with their owners, Edwards officials said.

ST. PETERSBURG - St. Petersburg held Clearwater to a point in the second overtime as the Green Devils survived mental breakdowns in the fourth quarter and in the first overtime to defeat Clearwater 61-54 Wednesday.
Just when the Green Devils were looking to pull away after taking an 11-point lead in the third period, Clearwater fought back to tie the game behind the efforts of Veronica Ryan (26 points).
The Green Devils took a 45-43 led when Kamyia Smith hit a 3-pointer with less than 10 seconds remaining, but Ryan drove the length of the floor and scored on a layup at the buzzer.
St. Petersburg (18-5) had a 53-49 lead late into overtime but J'Beria Davis made consecutive off-balance jumpers to tie the score and send the game into a sixth period.
"This was as good a basketball game as you will see in this county," St. Petersburg coach Ryan Halstead said. "Both teams laid everything on the line and showed a tremendous amount of character.
"I thought we struggled with some turnovers, but we fought back. I've learned a lot about this team in the last 24 hours."
St. Petersburg, which lost to Boca Ciega 57-44 on Tuesday, was led by Jazmyne Green (18 points) and Sharlese Hughes (13).
The Tornadoes (20-4) were hampered offensively without leading scorer Keona Dixon and it showed up at the free-throw line, where they shot just 11-of-29.
"We had to make each trip down the floor count tonight and we just didn't," Clearwater coach Tom Shaneyfelt said. "I'm very proud with the way we competed without Keona, and I think this will help us going into the district tournament."

Everything except the title of Sanjaya Baru’s “The Accidental Prime Minister” has invited controversy. And the title escaped opprobrium only because Manmohan Singh, who has never won an election, was the first to acknowledge that his elevation to India’s top political job was an accident of history.

It's hard to believe Amish Tripathi when he says he never set out to be a writer. The banker-turned-author of the popular Shiva trilogy recently won a million-dollar advance for a new series - and he hasn't even finalized the topic yet.
Before his books took pride of place in shop windows, Tripathi was already living what some would call a charmed life. A management degree at one of India’s top business schools had led to a successful career in private and retail banking. But it was his admiration for Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction, that catapulted him to literary stardom in India.

Global food security can be achieved for almost 1 billion chronically undernourished people by promoting strong political leadership, technological innovation, investment in smallholder farmers and efficient markets, according to a new book.
In “One Billion Hungry: Can We Feed the World?”, author Gordon Conway, a professor of international development and director of advocacy group Agriculture for Impact at Imperial College London, emphasises the importance of reducing hunger and poverty by increasing food production within an environmentally sustainable framework, which recognises climate change as a serious hindrance to future food security.

text: This study was conducted to determine the effect of thyroid hormone on opiate receptor ligand-binding and pain sensitivity. Specific opiate receptor-binding was performed on brain homogenates of Swiss-Webster mice. There was a significant increase in 3H-naloxone-binding in thyroxine-fed subjects (hyperthyroid). Scatchard analysis revealed that the number of opiate receptors was increased in hyperthyroid mice (Bmax = 0.238 nM for hyperthyroid samples vs. 0.174 nM for controls). Binding affinity was unaffected (Kd = 1.54 nM for hyperthyroid and 1.58 nM for control samples). When mice were subjected to hotplate stimulation, the hyperthyroid mice were noted to be more sensitive as judged by pain aversion response latencies which were half that of control animals. After morphine administration, the hyperthyroid animals demonstrated a shorter duration of analgesia. These findings demonstrate that thyroxine increases opiate receptor number and native pain sensitivity but decreases the duration of analgesia from morphine.

I Know What You Did Before You Lost Your Memory
It all starts with her heading down to a party with her sorority sisters and during the party they take a pledge down to the basement for a hazing prank involving being locked in a coffin except it goes wrong and the girl dies. Trouble is that all this is a dream for Megan as 5 years ago at Everton College she was involved in an accident which has lead to her having to deal with Anterograde Amnesia. That means each day starts in the same confused state until she sees the video which she records herself the night before. Whilst the therapy sessions she has had have been little help she hopes that when she decides to attend a sorority reunion she may be able to make sense of her dream and also the accident which lead to her memory loss. But it seems that someone else wants them to think about what happened 5 years ago when Melissa died in what has been recorded as an accidental death when she was drunk and fell asleep in a coffin.
So take the basic "I Know What You Did Last Summer" set up with here being a college hazing stunt gone wrong with a pledge dying. And as such 5 years on we have a reunion at Everton College and are group of sorority sisters having to deal with someone trying to scare them and get their own back for the death. And this side is shall we say more thriller than horror as we have cryptic poison pen letters being left for the girls as well as some threats on their lives.
But then we have an extra side to "The Hazing Secret" as we have Megan dealing with daily amnesia since the accident which we learn early on happened shortly after the death as it is supposed that she tried to commit suicide by jumping off the roof of the college. But there is a nice angle to this as whilst we have the expected aspect of Megan being unsure who she can trust there is the question as to whether she is the one behind all the cryptic notes and threats as she wouldn't remember doing them anyway.
The trouble with "The Hazing Secret" is that it is a made for TV movie and lacks the punch to make the horror of the situation and the danger really grab you. It also lacks characters which you remember once the movie is over which is partly down to the casting of actresses who whilst good at playing their parts fail to stand out, let down by the generic writing of the characters.
What this all boils down to is that "The Hazing Secret" has an interesting combo of ideas with plenty of potential to be an entertaining take on a familiar prank gone wrong/revenge storyline. But the end result ends up just an okay made for TV movie which whilst entertaining is also forgettable.


On Friday, the long awaited policy note by Dutch Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation Sigrid Kaag was published. The note was the outcome of a process of consultation, scientific analysis and much discussion within and outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We searched for the spirit underlying it: What trends does this minister consolidate and deepen? What is new? Are those new aspects a superficial change of discourse or a genuine break with the past? On what issues is the paper silent and what do those silences tell us?
More than six months after the Dutch elections took place, a long period of debates, negotiations and incertainty has finally come to an end. The new coalition of center-rightwing parties was sworn in last Thursday the 26th of October. Having Sigrid Kaag of the liberal-democratic party D66 as the new Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation in the third Rutte government (Rutte III), we can look forward to where the opportunities lie in the new coalition’s plans to make the world fairer and more sustainable. The Coalition Agreement, which tries to build a bridge between the political centre and the centre-right, is a smart piece of work in terms of reaching compromises. In the current international climate of societies progressively growing apart, that is a striking achievement.
Today the Netherlands is celebrating freedom. Our freedom goes further than living in peace. We have the freedom to discuss policy to our hearts’ content on, for example, ending the lockdown on television, in the press and on social media. We can do that freely because we know that our rights to freedom of expression are well protected. But how different that is in countries where authoritarian leaders are grasping the crisis as an excuse to throw these rights out with the trash and rule with an iron hand.
You can't eat gold, copper and gas
"The virus is spreading quicker than the information" – that was the first we heard in the Netherlands about COVID-19 in many African countries and the measures they were taking to tackle it. While states of emergency were announced, borders were closed and we saw image after image of violent police and army responses, many people outside the big cities did not know that what was going on. When the situation became clearer, serious concerns arose about the consequences of the measures that had been taken: the informal economy coming to a standstill, food shortages and internal migration flows.
In the run up to the European elections of 22 May, the Fair, Green & Global Alliance is organizing a debate in which several Dutch party leaders for the European elections are challenged to answer the following questions.
How will our continent look like in the near future and, above all, how do we want to improve Europe? What is the role of European trade policy and tax evasion? Can Europe emerge from the crisis fair and green? In short, what is the future of Europe?

The Kudos Blend gives my guitar its fullest, richest and most satisfactory live sound. The “even-ness” of the magnetic pickup across the fretboard is second-to-none, while the fact that it is “active” allows me to accentuate the lows. It’s great for slide, fingerstyle, blues, country, anything! Adding the mic into the mix brings out the clarity that I like so much about acoustic guitar. Simply the best!

I promised I’d be honest with myself.
I promised that I was going to live my life acknowledging every single emotion I was feeling and make it a priority because I lived in the dark for too long regarding them. I always believed that showing your emotions and putting them on the back burner was the “adult” thing to do. I realized it was not. I realized that in order to handle the good and bad in your life, you have to prioritize emotions from both sides of the spectrum. That’s right, no more showcasing only the good emotions and ignoring the bad ones. That’s not who I am and I refuse to conform to those “social norms” where communication is slowly dying. I refuse to play make-believe and pretend that the easiest way to a better life is simply just smiling in everyone’s face.
This isn’t a negative perspective, it’s a realistic one.

Breeding livebearers, such as guppies, can seem tough. But the rewards are great! These colorful fish are known for giving birth to live young, making them popular with aquarium fans. Yet, there are many issues that breeders face.
One challenge is creating good conditions for reproduction. Guppies do best in aquariums with steady water parameters, including temperature and pH. Fluctuations can cause problems with breeding.
Another problem is overcrowding. Guppies reproduce a lot, which can lead to too many fish in the aquarium. This can stress the fish, stopping successful breeding. It’s important for breeders to watch the population and give each fish enough room.
Disease prevention is also key. Guppies can get diseases like fin rot and ich, which can spread easily in crowded environments. Breeders must keep it clean and quarantine sick fish to stop outbreaks.
Here’s an example: a breeder I know was excited about their guppy project, but illness struck. Despite good care and monitoring, a contagious disease broke out. Quarantine and treatment saved the day.
All in all, breeding livebearers like guppies has its difficulties. From creating the right conditions to managing the population and preventing illness, breeders must invest time and effort. But when you see new life thriving in your aquarium, it’s worth it!
To understand livebearers like guppies, dive into the section “Understanding Livebearers.” Discover what livebearers are and explore common types of these fascinating aquatic creatures. Uncover the challenges of breeding livebearers in this informative section, shedding light on the intricacies involved in raising these live-bearing fish.
What are Livebearers?
Livebearers are unique fish species! They give birth to live young, fully formed and ready to swim. These fish can adapt to many different water conditions, making them versatile. Plus, they come in beautiful colors and patterns. Even more interesting – female livebearers can store sperm from a single mating for multiple batches of eggs. This lets them reproduce over time without needing a male partner. Fascinating!
Common Types of Livebearers
The world of livebearers is fascinating! These fish give birth to live young instead of laying eggs, making them unique. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular species:
- Mollies: Bright and colorful, they come in black, sailfin or dalmatian varieties. Beginners will find them hardy and adaptable.
- Guppies: The well-known guppies are flashy and their fins are extravagant. They reproduce quickly, so expect a growing population!
- Platies: Many colors and patterns make platies stunning. They’re peaceful and easy to care for, adding liveliness to any tank.
- Swordtails: With their long tail fins, the males look like swords! They need plenty of space to swim.
- Endlers Livebearers: Closely related to guppies, these fish have smaller bodies and intricate patterns. Perfect for nano or planted aquariums.
- Halfbeaks: Their lower jaws extend beyond their upper jaws, giving them a unique look. They’re active swimmers, needing lots of room to thrive.
Plus, there are other livebearers to discover! To keep them healthy, provide a spacious tank with hiding spots and vegetation. Stable water parameters and a varied diet are also important. Follow these tips and enjoy the captivating beauty of your livebearers!
Breeding Challenges of Livebearers
To overcome the challenges of breeding livebearers like guppies, you need to address various factors. Ensure water quality and temperature control to create a suitable environment. Maintain proper diet and nutrition for the fish’s well-being. Lastly, equip yourself with strategies to deal with diseases and parasites that can affect the breeding process.
Water Quality and Temperature Control
Water quality and temperature control are crucial for livebearer breeding. They have an influence on the creatures’ health and reproductive success. Let’s examine the details.
We need to check these parameters for the best breeding outcome:
|Ammonia Levels||Near zero|
|Nitrite Levels||Near zero|
|Nitrate Levels||Less than 40 ppm|
We must be careful with these numbers. Any little variation can have bad effects.
Also, the conditions should stay the same during the breeding. Unexpected changes in temperature or water chemistry can cause stress and lower fertility.
A famous breeder had trouble until they understood water quality and temperature control. With accurate monitoring and adjustments, they increased breeding success.
For successful livebearer breeding, water quality and temperature control are essential. Breeders must keep the parameters in the right range. By learning from past experiences, we can help these aquatic creatures thrive.
Maintaining Proper Diet and Nutrition
Livebearers need quality nutrition to live well and reproduce. A mix of flakes, pellets, and live/frozen foods, such as bloodworms or brine shrimp, is key. Variety also ensures they get all the nutrients they need. Feed small portions multiple times a day, not just one big meal, to mimic their natural feeding habits.
Factors like genetics mean some livebearers require specific types of food. Observe their behavior and condition to spot signs of malnourishment. Consult with an aquarium professional if this occurs.
By giving them a balanced and varied diet, you can guarantee their longevity and joy in your aquarium.
Dealing with Diseases and Parasites
Health checks for livebearers are a must! Spotting signs of diseases/parasites early is key. Watch behaviour, physical appearance and appetite. Act fast if anything doesn’t seem right.
Quarantine new arrivals – to stop the spread of illnesses/parasites.
Water quality management is a must. Temperature, pH level and filtration system must be monitored.
Treatment options – if prevention fails, get advice from a vet or aquarist.
Prevention is best: hygiene, clean environment and balanced diet are all important.
Tips for Successful Livebearer Breeding
To achieve successful livebearer breeding for guppies, create the right breeding environment, employ effective pairing and mating strategies, and provide proper care for fry and juveniles. These three sub-sections are key solutions for overcoming the challenges that arise when breeding livebearers like guppies.
Creating the Right Breeding Environment
Successfully breeding livebearers is heavily reliant on having the right environment. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
- Temperature: Keep it between 75-82°F (24-28°C).
- Water Quality: Invest in a quality filter and do regular water changes.
- Space: Give them enough room for swimming and courting.
- Vegetation: Provide them hiding spots and refuge with live or artificial plants.
- Male-to-Female Ratio: Balance males and females to prevent stress.
Floating plants will give shade and extra protection. Modify the light schedule to mimic day-night cycles and stimulate breeding.
Don’t miss out on the miracle of life! By following these tips, you can give them the best chance of success.
Pairing and Mating Strategies
Livebearer breeding relies on clever pairing and mating strategies. These tactics are essential for healthy reproduction of livebearing fish species.
Compatibility between different livebearers must be understood. For example, guppies and mollies can pair well due to similar water needs and mating behavior. Cross-breeding incompatible species must be avoided – this can cause genetic issues or hybridization.
In the tank, provide a good number of females for each male. This ensures even mating chances and reduces dominant males taking over.
Also, ensure pregnant females have places to hide. Live plants or decorations can be suitable hiding spots. This lets them get away from aggressive males and somewhere safe to give birth.
Checking the water parameters is important. Livebearers like slightly alkaline water, with temperatures between 75°F and 82°F. Regular maintenance and water testing will help keep the right conditions for successful mating.
To sum up, it’s important to use clever pairing and mating strategies for livebearer breeding. Consider compatibility, equal mating, suitable hiding spots, and optimal water conditions for success. Now, enjoy the amazing sight of new life in your tank!
Caring for Fry and Juveniles
Caring for livebearer fry and juveniles is essential for their survival and growth. Here’s a guide on how to give them the best care.
Take a look at the table below for key aspects:
|Feeding||Offer small, frequent meals of crushed flake food or brine shrimp nauplii, to suit their tiny mouths and high-energy needs.|
|Water parameters||Maintain stable water conditions: temperature (75-80°F), pH levels (6.5-8.5), low ammonia/nitrite.|
|Tank size||Provide space based on species’ needs – usually 10 gallons+ for most livebearers.|
|Hiding spots||Create hiding spots with live plants or decorations, to offer shelter from aggression.|
|Water changes||Perform partial water changes (25%) weekly, to maintain good water quality and remove waste.|
|Tankmates||Choose tank mates that are compatible with your species, considering temperament and size differences.|
Now let’s go more in-depth. Newborn fry have limited mobility, so placing food near their hiding spots can help. Also, consistent lighting helps develop natural day-night cycles for them.
Once fry reach a certain size, separate adults from them, to avoid predation and competition for resources.
Consider using breeding tanks or nets designed to protect and rear the fry. These offer optimal conditions for their growth.
By following these suggestions, you can increase the chances of successful breeding and healthy growth for livebearer fry and juveniles. Provide nutrition, maintain good water quality, offer hiding spots, choose compatible tank mates, and use protective measures.
Guppy breeders face many challenges. They have to keep the water perfect, stop aggression, and avoid inbreeding. Nutrition and disease prevention are essential too. Even with careful planning, surprises can happen. Like the time a rare mutation showed up in a breeder’s guppy population. It got fellow enthusiasts really excited and talking.
Frequently Asked Questions

ABC Information has confirmed 31-year-old Tracy Jerome Jester, Jr., of Forsyth, Georgia, died on March 17. Jester is the 11th American confirmed to have died within the nation since June 2018.
Jester was together with his sister within the Dominican Republic, based on their mother, Melody Moore. The identify of the resort they stayed at was not instantly accessible.
Moore stated she spoke to her son about 7:40 p.m. the evening earlier than his demise. She stated he instructed her he had been sightseeing that day and was making ready to fly house the following morning.
Later that evening, Moore stated she acquired one other name from her daughter saying Jester was vomiting blood and could not breathe. Moore stated she instructed her daughter to name 911, however that it took some time earlier than anybody was in a position to help her son.
“I used to be panicking as a result of I could not get to my youngsters,” Moore stated.
Moore’s daughter later instructed her that Jester had “dropped to his knees and began throwing up blood and was calling for Mama.”
Her son was useless by 4:40 a.m., Moore stated.
Moore stated she recalled Jester mentioning a “nasty” Sprite he bought and drank on the lodge earlier than his demise. She advised to him that the drink may style completely different in a foreign country, however he felt there was one thing odd about it.
Jester’s physique was returned house on April Four with no extra data concerning his demise in addition to a demise certificates that documented “respiratory points.” Moore believes her son’s demise might be linked to different deaths within the Dominican Republic as a result of he confirmed signs much like different victims. She felt compelled to share her story.
“I wish to know the reality,” she stated.
An Atlanta information station spoke with Jester’s sister, who stated he had Lupus, although it is unclear if the sickness was linked to his demise.
Moore has reached out to the FBI, who instructed her they might return her name.
ABC Information contributed to this story.

What Causes Swallowing Difficulties (Dysphagia)?
Dysphagia or swallowing difficulties are caused by an underlying health condition such as:
- Cancer of the mouth or throat
- Conditions that affect the nervous system, these include head injury, stroke, dementia, multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease
- Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD)
- Learning difficulties, particularly in children who find learning, understanding and communicating difficult
- Cerebral Palsy
- Muscular conditions such as scleroderma or achalasia
Treatment Of Dysphagia
Treatment of dysphagia will vary depending on the causes and type of dysphagia. If you think you may have symptoms of dysphagia, you should contact your GP and ask for an initial assessment.
There are two types of dysphagia:
- Oropharyngeal or high dysphagia – this is generally as a result of a problem with the mouth or throat
- Oesophageal or low dysphagia – this is generally as a result of a problem with the oesophagus which is the tube that takes food from your mouth to your stomach
Once you have been diagnosed you will be given a treatment plan based on the type of dysphagia you have and the underlying condition.
In some cases, swallowing difficulties will improve as the underlying health condition is cured. In other cases it can deteriorate, as is the case with dementia suffers.
You can find out more about diagnosing dysphagia from the NHS website.
Living With Swallowing Difficulties
Living with swallowing difficulties can be hard and upsetting, whether you have the condition yourself or are caring for someone with the condition.
It is often difficult to know what to eat or what food to prepare if you are unable to swallow properly and this comes with the fear of choking as you try and eat.
Cooking a normal meal and then blending the food is the most common approach, but this is not only unappetising to eat but can carry some risks.
Certain foods don’t blend down well and pose a choking risk, for example, peas, sweetcorn, rice and bread are difficult to blend down. The husks left behind by peas or sweetcorn can pose a choking risk.
There is also the issue of ensuring the right consistency and ensure this stays the same and no crust or skin forms on the blended meal.
Solving The Problem
We recognise the problems people face when they have difficulty swallowing or are looking after someone with the dysphagia.
We have worked hard with our chefs and dietitian to develop a range of meals that are suitable for those with swallowing difficulties no matter whether they are on their journey to recovery or just need help as their condition progresses.

Facility managers can follow this playbook to effectively engage staff members
The Skills Guide for Facility Managers details 10 must-have traits for those new to the industry
A vast array of technology applications have reshaped institutional and commercial facilities, and more are coming every day. Among the challenges for maintenance and engineering managers is ensuring new technology delivers the intended performance and benefits — a lesson the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is learning the hard way.
VA medical facilities in Ohio have lost more than $1 million in medical equipment and other electronics over the past three years. VA facilities in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton and Chillicothe lost track of equipment worth approximately $1.12 million between 2014 and 2017, according to an investigation by WBNS-TV.
Unfortunately, signal interference meant that the technology did not always function properly. The technology also wasn't always properly installed, or employees couldn't find certain items listed in the database. Federal inspectors at the VA Office of Inspector General testified recently that the department was in a rush to roll out the tracking technology in 2013 without thoroughly testing it first, according to the WBNS investigation.
Although most of the lost equipment includes smaller items such as iPads, cellphones, and laptops, some items include expensive medical equipment and instruments worth tens of thousands of dollars. Among these items were a portable patient lift worth $5,000, a patient sign-in kiosk worth $8,500, a stretcher worth $12,000 and a bedside monitor worth $28,000.
The VA employees either could not find the equipment or believed the items were sold or turned in. But no record or receipt could be produced to prove either.
In some instances, the Ohio facilities lost the equipment after the VA spent almost $24 million in the state on technology meant to install tracking devices on it. The real-time location systems is dependent on Wi-Fi, radio frequency identification tags and computer databases that allow employees to scan equipment to keep track of it or that send out its location in real-time.

So the finale of Homeland is upon us tonight, and what a journey it’s been. For a series that started out looking like every one of those empty conspiracy thrillers America loves so much (I’m looking at you, “The Event“) it’s been refreshing to see Homeland change into a rare example of well acted, tense and involving dramas, helped along not in the least by a great cast. The finale is bound to excite; teasing us with answers, whilst also filling our minds with even more questions. So why do I feel slightly apprehensive of what’s become a Sunday night staple?
The irony is that despite its dedication to serious, well-thought out and seemingly realistic plots, Homeland, because of its very format as a television series, can never be as realistic as real world conflict because we all know it’s already been commissioned for a second season. Much like the greatest blockbuster films where you know the “goodie” won’t really be dead when the sentimental music strikes up, this single fact meant that whilst getting involved in all of the drama of the series, there was always a small, annoying voice in the back of my mind bleating “You know it won’t all be wrapped up soon anyway – there’s at least another season of this to go”. Who knows, maybe the series will do a Skins, and the finale will feature an almighty explosion that sees all characters jettisoned into outer space, so that the next season can have completely different characters in almost the same predicament reliving everything again for our amusement (whilst taking copious drugs), but somehow I doubt it. Many of the main characters will be staying on because they’re what’s at the heart of Homeland – how on earth could we get a new Carrie?
There’s nothing inherently wrong of course with Homeland getting another season – it only cements what we’ve all been thinking about it from about episode four onwards – that it’s great TV. It’s just a shame that, in the nature of the real world vs the world of the programme, the news of another series somewhat breaks all of the hard work its been doing to instil an idea of drama and suspense into the proceedings.
Whilst I can just about let this slide, what I’m more worried about is this series turning into another Lost or Heroes. Each of these had an amazing first season, and granted, even their second ones weren’t so bad. But then they carried on. And, in Lost‘s case, on again. Until the memory of that first exciting season was whisked away, like so many mysterious and unexplainable appearances of black smoke. Granted, Homeland has a few things on its side – there aren’t any random encounters with polar bears appearing out of nowhere that the writers will have to explain – so it’s looking more likely already that season two will be able to fit the mould of the first. But still, somehow, the doubts linger. It’s just the way it goes unfortunately – after that first great idea, few writers are ever able to continue in the same vein, especially when commercially forced to do so – which is why so often in the TV world we see first season fad fading to second/third season flop.
I hope this won’t be the case for Homeland, and that the writers are able to steer clear of Lost‘s choppy waters. All they have to do is make sure they bring us a second season not because the network or even the audience demands it – but because the story does.

What’s the HVDC Hybrid Circuit Breaker:
The Proactive Hybrid Circuit Breaker (PHCB) HVDC is shown in Fig1 design by ABB. This consists of two paralleled branches. The normal current path consists of a mechanical switch and a low voltage series stack of semi-conductive switches, known as the Load Commutation Switch (LCS). In parallel with these is the main current breaking element, a stack of semi-conductive switches, known as the main breaker. The energy absorption branch is combined with the secondary branch in this case to add functionality to the circuit breaker. In such an arrangement, sections of the secondary branch can be switched independently from the others. This allows the circuit breaker to act as a fault current limiter in certain situations.
During normal operation the disconnector is closed, the LCS is turned on and the main breaker is turned off. When a fault is detected, the LCS is turned off and the main breaker is turned on.The LCS provides sufficient voltage to commutate current from the primary branch into the secondary branch. The LCS may be triggered before the fault is confirmed. This would allow the detection algorithm to be processed in parallel with the circuit breaker’s operation.
Once all the current is flowing through the main breaker, the high speed mechanical disconnector is opened. When the mechanical switch is fully open, the main circuit breaker is turned off, the main breaker current is interrupted, and the line energy is dissipated in the varistors. The relatively slow series residual current disconnecting circuit breaker is used to break the leakage current through the main breaker and associated devices, which may be significant depending on how the energy absorption branch is designed. This switch also provides full isolation.
Hybrid Circuit Breaker Definitions:
The standard definitions for AC circuit breakers do not directly translate across to HVDC protection. The time frames and dynamics involved do not suit such descriptions. The topologies for DC protection are also fundamentally different and cannot be fully encompassed by the terms traditionally used in AC protection.
AC circuit breakers have a relatively long time to act compared to DC circuit breakers. Typically, the fault currents that an AC circuit breaker is interrupting will have nearly reached steady state by the time the protection acts, but this is not always the case.
HVDC circuit breakers will be required to act before the DC fault current has reached a steady state value, due to the limitations of the electronics within the circuit breakers and the converters themselves.
Hybrid circuit breakers contain several branches within their designs. Each branch has a specific function. The branches are typically arranged as shown in Fig 2, and are described by the terms Primary Branch, Secondary Branch, and Energy Absorption.
The main definitions HVDC Hybrid circuit breaker:
- Primary Branch: The Branch of the circuit breaker that conducts the current during normal operation.
- Secondary Branch: A Branch, or Branches, that conduct the fault current for a short period of time.
- Energy Absorption Branch: The branch which limits the voltage across the circuit breaker and absorbs any additional energy from the DC grid.
- Commutation Time: The time taken for the current in the primary branch to decay to zero, or so close to zero that the next stage in the circuit breaker’s operation can take place.
- Commutation: The movement of current between branches in a circuit breaker.
Time definitions for Hybrid circuit breaker:
- Fault Inception(T f): The moment the electrical conditions of the network at the point the protection exists change, resulting in an over current condition.
- Detection Time: The time it takes from the fault inception to the moment the protection is aware that there is a fault.
- Location Time: The time taken for the protection to decide which circuit breakers to open from the moment a fault is detected.
- Operation Time: The length of time taken for the circuit breaker to transition from the “Closed” state to the “Open State”.
Fig 3 shows a typical fault current, with the labelled time and current ratings. This image is only meant to be illustrative. The dynamics have been exaggerated to allow the definitions to be drawn easily.
- Interruption time (T int): The time between fault inception and the circuit breaker building sufficient voltage to substantially oppose the fault current.
- Commutation Time(T com): The time taken for the current in the primary branch to decay to zero, or so close to zero that the next stage in the circuit breaker’s operation can take place.
- Clearing Time (T clr):The time taken from fault inception, to the moment that the DC line current reaches zero, or the knee current of the varistors (I knee) is reached.
- Current Limit Operation Time (T lim): The time at which the circuit breaker starts to operate as a fault current limiter.

As reported in the New York Times of June 29, 2017, the TaskForce on Climate Related Disclosures (TFCD) report was released just in time for the G20 summit, but it is based on faulty analysis of climate change data by Bank of England governor, Mark Carney, says Friends of Science Society. They refer to an Oct. 10, 2015 fact-check by Steve Kopitz on Princeton Energy Advisors’ blog of Carney’s much cited Lloyds of London speech. Kopitz called Carney’s catastrophic claims a “failure of analysis.”
As noted by James Delingpole in The Spectator of July 1, 2017, the Bank of England has a fiduciary obligation to assess all risks, such as the risk of investing in businesses like renewables, which are only viable thanks to massive taxpayer subsidies.
In February of 2017, Friends of Science Society issued two reports highly critical of pension funds and institutional investors basing their climate change ‘risk’ obsession on hyperbolic, out-dated climate data and the ineffective COP-21 #ParisAgreement.
The TaskForce claims there is an alleged “climate risk” of holding various fossil fuels assets which may become ‘stranded’ – unable to be exploited – and thus valueless, if society moves to a ‘low-carbon economy.’ This seems unlikely as the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that the world’s energy is supplied by about 80% fossil fuels and only 1.4% by wind and solar. That ratio is not expected to change significantly even by 2050.
As reported by the UNEP on Feb. 27, 2016, the G20 Finance Ministers meeting in Shanghai, planned $90 trillion dollars for ‘green.’ Extrapolating these plans, Ottawa energy policy consultant, Robert Lyman, showed that the G20 ultimately would take half a quadrillion dollars from taxpayers, illustrated in Friends of Science YouTube clip “I’m in the Red and So are You.”
Peer-reviewed papers like that of Prof. M.J. Kelly of Cambridge, published May 23, 2016 in MRS Energy and Sustainability, demonstrate that wind and solar do not reduce carbon dioxide emissions and cannot provide suitable power for a modern society.
Friends of Science Society says the TaskForce document’s elaborate methods of greenhouse gas and climate risk reporting open the door for corporate espionage and geopolitical wrangling. This is contrary to UN Charter Principles of equal national sovereignty.
Further, Friends of Science Society says the participants of the TaskForce appear to be parties which are heavily invested in renewables, carbon markets and ‘Green Bonds” – and they should first publicly disclose any vested interests before they demand that others report on an alleged ‘carbon risk,’ founded on failed analysis of publicly available climate data.
Friends of Science has spent over fourteen years reviewing a broad spectrum of literature on climate change and have concluded the sun is the main driver of climate change, not carbon dioxide (CO2). Friends of Science is made up of a growing group of earth, atmospheric and solar scientists, engineers, and citizens.

A new exhibition in the Ábrahám Ganz Foundry Collectio, from the 26th of october!
The Hungarian Museum of Science, Technology and Transport together with Hidászokért Egyesület (“Pontooners’ Society”) organises a joint exhibition to commemorate the work of one of our greatest bridge designer. The exhibition takes place in Ábrahám Ganz Foundry Collection, from the 26th October.
In the last third of the 19th century, Hungary went through an industrial development which was unprecedented before. This was the era when railway lines were established and the banks of several rivers were connected by new iron bridges. The industry of the country was catching up to the European average, moreover, Hungarian industry presented world-class products in more areas. Bridges were not exceptions either. In case of bridges imagined by foreign designers and built of imported material, at first foreign designs were changed to plans of Hungarian designers, and later imported building material was changed to Hungarian.
A participant of this incredible development was János Feketeházy, the main designer of MÁV (Hungarian State Railway) bridges at that time. He was possibly the person who did most for the development of Hungarian bridge building. His name is mentioned in connection with bridges such as the Connective Railway Bridge, the Komárom Erzsébet Bridge, the first Downtown Bridge, the Mária Valéria Bridge, or his masterpiece, the Liberty Bridge.
The exhibition primarily focuses on the afterlife of bridges. Some bridges designed by Feketeházy are still visible today, serving traffic needs, his most important creation among them in Budapest. This fact proves that Hungarian bridge building – and János Feketeházy – in the late 19th century has produced world-class and enduring constructions.

Agent of Gareth Bale has revealed the attacker will not leave Spanish giants Real Madarid on any loan deal.
“There will be no makeshift deals to get him out of the club,” he said.
“Gareth is one of the best players on the planet. I can guarantee you he will not be going on loan to any club.”
“Gareth is a Real Madrid player and for now he’s staying as a Real Madrid player,” said Barnett.
“If something comes along that suits us, then things could change and he could be gone in a day or a week. Or he could still be a Real player in three years when his contract ends.”
Bale trained with his team-mates yesterday ahead of the game overnight tonight against Arsenal.


Per a new report released by digital-asset intelligence firm CipherTrace, the value of ill-gotten funds siphoned through cryptocurrency crimes over the first five months of the year stands at a whopping $1.4 billion, thus making 2020 a potentially active year in regard to cryptocurrency-related thefts, hacks and fraud.
The report goes on to state that if things continue at the same rate, the total volume of stolen crypto for 2020 has the potential to get close to reaching the $4.5-billion mark set in 2019. Criminals appear to be capitalizing on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to target unsuspecting individuals by luring them in via a variety of crypto-related phishing campaigns, ransomware and darknet marketplace fraud.
Additionally, out of the multiple scams that have been accounted for this year, many of them have reportedly made use of email campaigns impersonating various coronavirus-related official groups — such as the World Health Organization, the Red Cross and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — to solicit payments and donations in the form of cryptocurrency.
Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volumes, continues its efforts to maintain dialogue with global regulators by introducing withdrawal limits and a new tax reporting system.
The company officially announced Tuesday a major update to its Know Your Customer policies, significantly reducing maximum withdrawal amounts for users who have not completed full identity verification.
Effective immediately for new Binance accounts, users who have completed only basic account verifications will be unable to withdraw more than 0.06 Bitcoin (BTC) per day, worth roughly $2,400 at the time of writing. Previously, the maximum daily withdrawal amount was capped at 2 BTC, or about $80,000, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao noted on Twitter.
According to the announcement, Binance will continue applying new withdrawal limits for existing users in phases starting from Aug. 4. The exchange expects to have adopted new withdrawal restrictions entirely by Aug. 23. Binance users who have completed full identity verification will be still able to withdraw up to 100 BTC in a day, or nearly $4 million at BTC prices at the time of writing. “Withdrawal limits refresh daily at 00:00 AM,” the announcement notes.
The world’s leading decentralized exchange, Uniswap, has announced the delisting of a number of tokens from its app interface.
Uniswap Labs made the announcement on Friday, emphasizing that the tokens had been removed from the app interface only and that the protocol remains immutable:
“These changes pertain to the interface at app.uniswap.org — the Protocol remains entirely autonomous, immutable, and permissionless.”
The company Uniswap Labs is the software developer that has built the front-end web app portal. The front-end is separate from the Uniswap protocol itself, which is autonomous code that was released as a public good.
In the blog post, Uniswap Labs hinted that increased regulatory pressure may have influenced its decision, stating, “We monitor the evolving regulatory landscape.” The company also described the move as “consistent with actions taken by other DeFi interfaces.”

Luxury Assisted Living Facility Opens in White Plains
- May 13, 2013
By Veronica Grecu, Associate Editor
A new luxury assisted living complex called The Bristal at White Plains celebrated its official grand opening last week during a ribbon-cutting ceremony that attracted over 200 Worcester County dignitaries, businesspersons and residents.
Developed by a joint venture between the Engel Burman Group and Caiola Partners, The Bristal is located at 305 North St. on the site of the former St. Agnes Hospital, which was shuttered in 2004. The abandoned hospital building was then acquired for $6 million from North Street Communities by Engel Burman, a Garden City-based company that owns and operates several Bristal assisted living communities on Long Island.
“The transformation of this former hospital building into a new state-of-the-art assisted living community is a remarkable achievement,” said Steven Krieger of The Engel Burman Group, who was quoted in a statement for the press. “The Bristal at White Plains is bringing high-quality senior care to Westchester while creating new jobs for the area economy.”
The Bristal at White Plains started receiving residents over the age of 65 in November 2012 and is now nearly 40 percent occupied. Designed by architect David Mammina, the $30 million assisted living facility has all the amenities that resemble a luxury hotel—daily housekeeping and laundry services, a 40-seat cinema, arts and crafts studio, library, spa, private dining room, business center and heated outdoor pool.
The four-story Bristal building can accommodate 148 residents in 136 rental apartments with rents ranging from $4,000 to $8,000 per month, including 32 units dedicated for residents who require memory care.
The North Street facility is Engel Burman’s first completed assisted living facility in Westchester County. A second Bristal community is currently under construction on a 6.5-acre office-park parcel in Armonk. The 105,000-square-foot facility will add 140 rental units with up to 170 beds to Engel Burman‘s portfolio of assisted living properties. The Armonk project is expected to open next year.

When Apple launched the Apple Watch series 4 last year, it spent quite a lot of time explaining how the brand new ECG function has been trained to be very good at detecting conditions such as Atrial Fibrillation, among other heart-related problems. Since then, there have been a number of news articles about the Apple Watch saving people’s lives by notifying them about irregular heart beats, among other things, and now, in a first, a US doctor saved a person’s life thanks to the Apple Watch Series 4’s ECG functionality.
According to reports from IANS, the incident happened at a restaurant, and the doctor, Tommy Korn, MD, from California, strapped his own Apple Watch Series 4 on the person’s wrist to detect Atrial Fibrillation. Dr. Tommy Korn later tweeted “As a physician, it’s much faster to put my #applewatch4 on someone else’s wrist to detect disease (A. fib) than finding a ECG machine at a public restaurant! (Indeed, a true #mhealth guardian).”
In replies to his tweet, he also mentioned that the person he diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation was doing fine now.
Atrial Fibrillation can be a deadly heart condition, which can cause strokes, and is often left undiagnosed because most patients don’t suffer from symptoms. The Apple Watch Series 4, on the other hand, can identify irregular heart rhythms, and send a notification if the irregularity looks like an atrial fibrillation to the watch.
The ECG feature of the Apple Watch Series 4 is currently available in the US, Europe, and Hong Kong, allowing people to check on their heart health from from the comfort of their homes. The feature is yet to make its way to India.
