My social media got lit up with posts about how there were enough people who voted for Bernie Sanders in 2016 primaries and who then voted for Donald Trump in the general election to cover the margin separating Clinton from an electoral college win. This, predictably, ignited the usual verbal infighting among my progressive friends who believe Sanders was/is a spawn of Satan, and others who think Clinton had no business running for dog-catcher, much less president. And, as usual, the winner will be the adversaries of both camps.
I will point out something that got rather less attention. At least the Washington Post article noted some grounds for comparison of the current analysis to what went before. The article cites two different survey results of the 2008 election showing Hillary Clinton primary voter rates of defection in the general election to Barack Obama’s opponent, John McCain. Those rates were 25% and 24%. By comparison, the rate of defection of Sanders primary voters to Trump was 10%. That yields some 140% to 150% greater effectiveness on Sanders’ part in preventing defection to other parties than Clinton was able to manage herself in 2008. The notion that Sanders was somehow deficient in his commitment to elect Clinton is belied by that insight, I think.

Re: “Data doesn’t support Kenney,” May 16
Mr. Hoffman presents a lot of data points in his letter, but omits one key piece.
We live in a sparsely populated, giant country mostly covered by forests. The rest is grasslands or grain. How much carbon does this oversized sink swallow versus how much we emit?
I don’t have the answer. Maybe Mr. Hoffman does, and isn’t telling.
Let’s present all of the data, and let Albertans decide.

Countless good causes throughout Coventry and Warwickshire have benefited from the Evening Telegraph's support over the past 12 months.
Together with you, our readers, we've backed many causes, from the £5 million Coventry Myton Hospice appeal to our Snowball appeal which helps sick and disabled children across the region.
Last month, children in hospital and in care across Coventry and Warwickshire were given Easter eggs after we received about 1,000 donations from you.
We handed out eggs to youngsters in children's wards at Walsgrave, Coventry and Warwickshire and Nuneaton's George Eliot hospitals.
Eggs were given to youngsters in care and to families at Coventry Haven, a refuge and support centre for women and children who have been victims of domestic violence.
In Coventry, thousands of pounds have been raised in just a few months for sixyear-old Elisabeth Ingram, of Whoberley, who has a rare type of brain cancer.
We've carried many stories highlighting the work of fundraisers across the city who have held events to help make Elisabeth's dream holiday come true.
The Evening Telegraph has also given a voice to the campaign to accumulate funds to help pay for treatment for four-year-old Bethany Keenan, who has a rare form of cancer.
The courageous youngster, from Tile Hill, has captured the hearts of people across the city, and about £36,000 has been raised towards her care.
Last year an amazing £86,374 was raised for the Evening Telegraph/ Mercia FM Snowball appeal - and we publicised all the events you did to make it happen.
One of the biggest was the Mercia FM/Evening Telegraph Thunder ball concert in November. Held at The Skydome, and starring Atomic Kitten, the sparkling event raised £22,597.
We've also publicised events including football tournaments, children's fashion and dance shows, and school reunions - all held to swell the Snowball total.
In the case of Myton Hospice, fundraising started two years ago to raise money to build a facility in Coventry. So far it's reached a total of £1.9 million, thanks to your wonderful support.
We've publicised countless efforts made by you to help the hospice in its target of raising £5 million to open a facility in the city by 2007.
Vanessa Webster, Myton's fundraising director, said our assistance had been "unbe-lievably good."
She said: "We would not have been able to raise half the money had it not been for the Evening Telegraph's help - you've been with us since the beginning."
And last year, you helped send teenager Chanelle Gerrard, who is battling a rare form of cancer, to swim with dolphins in Florida, making her dream come true.
A total of £9,000 was raised to help Chanelle, 14, of Laneside, Willenhall.
But it's not just about raising money.
You also helped to collect 100,000 books which have been shipped off to South Africa to help kit out school and public libraries.
When the Minorities of Europe asked for help in collecting books to be shipped out they turned to the Evening Telegraph and its readers. Now those books are on their way to help children in South Africa.
As well as appeals, the Evening Telegraph has been campaigning on local issues that matter to you.
Through the Save Our Wardens campaign, the Evening Telegraph and its readers helped persuade the city council to find funding to keep street wardens in Canley, Willenhall, Stoke Aldermoor and Ernesford Grange, in Coventry.
We also backed the Pupils in Peril campaign in which a 900-signature petition was handed in to the city council calling for speed-calming measures outside Whitmore Park Primary School, in Whitmore Park, Coventry.
At the moment, we are campaigning to find the 37 lollipop wardens needed to make sure every school crossing in the city is manned so our youngsters can get to and from school safely.
At the moment, our third annual Community Awards are being judged. They recognise the outstanding efforts of people across the region.
The Evening Telegraph and its readers have proved that they can make a difference.
Evening Telegraph editor Alan Kirby said: "Together with our readers, we hope to continue the good work of the past year and carry on helping needy causes and campaigning on our readers' behalf."
So, if you have an issue you feel strongly about, make sure your voice is heard by contacting the Evening Telegraph.

Wool Production In New Jersey
New Jersey has successfully managed to put itself on the global map with it’s rapidly increasing wool production. The number of sheep owned by the entire population of New Jersey, along with the super-efficient methods of production has boosted the Wool production in this country, simultaneously booming the economy along with the employment opportunities in New Jersey.
The wool producing community here is constantly on the move – first with getting done with the shearing of the sheep, processing the raw wool into yarn and then they’re off coloring, knitting, creating wonders with this freshly procured wool.
They even have quite a lot of fests, where all this wool and the products from wool are put up on display, and you’re free to buy them – you can not only meet the local sheep breeders but also buy local, organic and first-hand wool or woolen garments!
Most of the sheep are reared for wool only, as the quantity of milk obtained from these sheep isn’t good enough to be converted into milk products such as cheese. So wool and meat – that’s it!
However, even the sheep breeders her have a common worry – the modern breeds of sheep aren’t as resistant and strong as the original, unaltered breeds. The new, modern breed not only have weak resistance to parasites but also require aid when they give birth – all of which is an outcome of modified, altered genetic compositions.
The primary reason why breeding of sheep thrives in this country is because of the perennial requirement of meat here. But this has simultaneously given a boom to the wool production here. The population of sheep here a couple of years ago was around 15000, which is quite a considerable number to suffice a thriving wool production business, making New Jersey one of the top-ranked states in the United States when it comes to the production of wool.
And lately, the number of people taking up sheep rearing and wool production is just increasing by the day – it’s a unique industry – they say. And even though people shifted to artificially produced fabrics, currently, the emphasis is now back on the naturally produced fabrics, which gives the woolen industry another strong reason to keep producing the organic natural wool to keep going! It’s heartening to see this change – say the wool producers here – and we’re happy for them too!

SAGINAW, MI — Two Republicans candidates seeking to replace U.S. Rep Dave Camp, R-Midland, have voiced their support for a Supreme Court decision allowing some corporations to refuse insurance coverage of contraceptives on religious grounds.
The 5-4 decision by the court released Monday, June 30, says the federal Department of Health and Human Services violated the religious freedom protections of "closely held" companies by requiring Hobby Lobby and two other businesses to provide the coverage.
The decision has generally drawn ire from liberal groups and Democratic politicians, while pro-life groups and Republicans have generally supported the ruling.
In August, three candidates are vying for the Republican nomination to the 4th congressional district seat currently held by Camp, who is retiring.
Two of those candidates — Paul Mitchell and John Moolenaar — released statements on the Supreme Court ruling. The third Republican vying for the seat, Roscommon businessman Peter Konetchy, could not be reached for comment.
Thomas Township resident and local businessman Paul Mitchell expressed his satisfaction with the decision.
"This is a huge win for religious freedom," Mitchell said. "Justice Samuel Alito described the contraception mandate within Obamacare as 'unlawful.' I say the entire Obamacare Act must be repealed. It is just plain wrong for America."
State Sen. John Moolenaar, R-Midland, also took issue with requirements set up by the federal health care law.
"One of America's founding principles is religious liberty, rooted in the belief that the government does not have the power to infringe upon your religious convictions," said Moolenaar, R-Midland. "I applaud the Supreme Court for their decision, and standing up for protecting constitutional religious rights in America by ensuring that health care providers are not forced to do or buy something that is against their personal religious beliefs."
The state senator pointed to Senate Bill 136, proposed legislation he sponsored that seeks to allow an individual or health care entity to assert a conscientious objection to a specific health care service without fear of repercussion.
The bill was recommended for approval by the House Committee on Health Policy, but has not yet been considered on the floor of the Michigan Senate.
The winner of the Republican primary in August will face Alma physician Dr. Jeff Holmes, the lone Democratic candidate in the race, in November. Holmes could not immediately be reached for comment on the court's decision.
The 4th Congressional District includes part of Saginaw County and a wide area of the central and northern Lower Peninsula.

Let's face it, any bike is as good as you make it or want it to be. I have a bunch of Bultaco's, some that I even race on a regular occasion, with success and ultimate dependability. They are as good of a bike as their mechanic's and riders. Take any bike and poorly maintain it and beat it like a rented mule and it will treat you the same way.
It all depends on what you want to get out of the ride. I'm lucky enough to live in a rural area with plenty of riding. If 6-8 friends stop by and want to hit the trails and dirt roads hard, yeah I'm taking my '02 KTM EXC 520. If it's a nice spring morning and there's not much work to do that day, me and my original un-restored '68 Yamaha DT1 is going to cover over 100 miles of dirt roads that day. If I need to get in shape from lack of excersize or need to let off some steam, a couple hours on my Champion MX framed YZ360A Yamaha on a vintage friendly MX track is surely the cure.
You can have fun on all of them. If you are lucky enough to have the wearwithal to have more than one, then you're in. If not and you choose to ride an old bike, so be it. Enjoy it to the utmost, whatever bike it may be.
It also doesn't hurt to have something different at the end of the ride, if you need a conversation starter. I can stop at a local establishment on my KTM and no one takes a second look. Wheel up on a '68 Yamaha and the conversations can go on for hours. What does hurt is staying 'till after dark on the KTM isn't a problem, on the Yami, you want to be home before dark, 'cause there's a good chance of no lights.

“Meltdown” was the word of the weekend after Jeb Bush told a crowd in South Carolina that he wasn’t running for president just to oversee years of gridlock and nothing getting done. “I’ve got a lot of really cool things I could do other than sit around being miserable, listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them,” Bush said. “That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that.”
Some in the media are reporting that the usually calm and cool Gov. John Kasich is following Bush’s lead, having a meltdown of his own, confessing of his fellow candidates, “I’ve about had it with these people” and asking, “What has happened to our party?”

Effect of castration on social behavior and hormones in male Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata)
Rafaela S.C. Takeshita, Michael A. Huffman, Kodzue Kinoshita, Fred B. Bercovitch
Population control is essential for animal welfare and human safety in free-ranging or captive settings, especially when resources are limited. As an alternative to lethal control, contraceptive methods such as castration in males can be a practical solution, because the testicles are a visual cue to determine which males have been sterilized. However, careful analyses should be carried out to ensure no disruption in the social structure of the population. Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) live in a society centered around dominance rank and matrilineal kin relationships. Testosterone and glucocorticoids have been correlated with dominance rank in humans and other species, but previous studies in Japanese macaques were inconclusive. This study aimed to investigate beha-vioral and physiological diﬀerences between castrated and intact male Japanese macaques, and to examine the eﬀect of season and behavior in hormonal concentrations in intact males. Our subjects were six intact males from Jigokudani Monkey Park (Japan) and 13 castrated males from Born Free Primate Sanctuary (USA). We collected behavioral data using both focal and ad libitum sampling, and fecal samples for determination of testosterone (fT) and glucocorticoids (fGC) by enzyme immunoassay. We found that castrated males exhibited a social hierarchy, but not a linear hierarchy, as was the case in intact males. Castrated males were less aggressive than intact males, probably because fT concentrations were lower in the castrated males. Age was positively correlated with fGC levels, while fT concentrations were lower in old males than younger adult males. Fecal T levels correlated with both rank and atmospheric temperature. In intact males, both fGC and fT levels were elevated during the mating season. We found a negative correlation between fGC levels and the amount of grooming received. Our ﬁndings indicate that castration had a minimal impact on sociality, with season, temperature, and rank all inﬂuencing male sex steroid levels in intact males. Our study indicates that castration can be adopted as a population control mechanism without drastically altering the social relationships of males.

Few places in Argentina embrace you with such warmth as when you stand in front of these ice giants. To admire them is not to understand how a natural phenomenon can generate so many feelings, astonishment, curiosity and desire to discover what it was that made the first settlers fall in love and make this untamed place their home.
Eurotur and DMCFinder present a perfect pairing: El Calafate & El Chalten where the desire to adventure and be the protagonist of this landscape invites you on every path to travel.
The Ice Age
To visit Los Glaciares National Park is not only to find millenary glaciers, it is to witness the footprint left by these enormous masses of ice that millions of years ago dominated the planet and that today help us to understand their vital richness for the ecosystem.
Touring the lakes of the National Park is to cross its waters where the turquoise, product of glacial sediments, leads us to admire some of its 47 glaciers that as if by magic are suspended between heaven and earth, inviting you to paradise.
To know the Perito Moreno Glacier is to fall in love with all its factions, the north face that greets the wind and the south face that is the refuge of those who disembark on it, with the desire to conquer it. It is to be perplexed by the moaning that his body gives off to capture our attention as if every step we take on it produces this sound that far from scaring us, catches us, seduces us regardless of the fraction of time we need to take the next step and the magic is repeated again.
More than a route: Route 40
In its more than 5000 kilometers, Route 40 treasures a variety of climates and landscapes, but in the province of Santa Cruz, you will find a stretch that will surprise those who travel it, not only because of the encounter with the attractions known worldwide, but also because there are corners worthy of being called paradises. A journey through the blue and green of the lakes, the ochre of the mountains that in solitude watch over the traveler and through the steppe that was once a land of the brave.
Less than 3 hours from El Calafate, we find the mecca for those whom walking is not only a way to get there, but a philosophy of enjoyment: El Chalten, a town surrounded by mountains where the trails that start from its small town center will take you to unique landscapes. The vegetation and some curious birds will be your company, the unevenness a challenge to overcome, we will not lie, sometimes it may not be easy, but we promise that at the end of the trail, the landscape will reward you.
A Good Rest
We propose you wake up in the middle of idyllic landscapes where breakfast with a homemade flavor will transport you to what we call home, we invite you to a place where disconnection is simple with just a blink of an eye and at night the three-step menu includes star gazing, feeling the caress of the cold and resting only with nature. Staying in an estancia, a refuge or a glamping is to find in every corner the perfect balance between comfort, nature, adventure and traditions.
Why choose Eurotur for your reservations?
In EUROTUR, they have been creating memorable trips for 67 years and counting. They are one of the leading inbound DMC for Argentina & South America with offices in Buenos Aires, Patagonia and the Northwest.
They work passionately to design innovative tours for passengers to experience each of their destinations in a different and interesting way as well as provide constant support throughout the trip to guarantee an unforgettable journey.

capacitance-voltage, ZnO capacitors, deep depletion
The main objective of the research was the fabrication and characterization of MOS/MIS capacitors with ZnO as the insulating layer. Comparison with the already well known behavior of MOS/MIS capacitors with SiO2 as insulator was used to facilitate determination of the ZnO characteristics. Moreover, thermal annealing of the samples led to increased understanding of the role of defects on the dielectric properties of the ZnO layers in the MOS/MIS devices. Hall-effect transport measurements and x-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy are used to analyze the structure and electronic surface characteristics of the ZnO insulator. Capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements are used to understand the effect of surface interface charges and fixed oxide charges in the MOS/MIS (metal-oxide (insulator)-semiconductor) capacitor. The results of the Hall-effect measurement will reveal several things; the sheet resistance, carrier concentration, and mobility as well as confirm the type of silicon used. The optical spectrophotometry measurement confirmed the band gap of 3.2 eV for ZnO. The x-ray diffraction data confirmed a (002) orientation polycrystalline wurtzite ZnO structure. Initial capacitance-voltage measurement of SiO2 and ZnO revealed that the capacitance was larger for SiO2 than for ZnO. This study also explores the impact of thermal annealing on the performance of the ZnO capacitors. Hall-effect measurements are used to evaluate the influence of thermal annealing on the resistivity, carrier concentration and mobility as a function of annealing temperature. ZnO is an n-type semiconductor; this n-type conductivity is due to deviations from the stoichiometry as a result of oxygen vacancies and interstitial zinc. After ZnO samples were annealed at different temperatures, the Hall-effect measurements were performed. After thermal annealing, the mobility increased significantly by two orders of magnitude, but both the carrier concentration and the sheet density decreased. A threshold voltage (turn-on) of -1V was observed for the ZnO sample annealed at 980oC. ZnO is very versatile material with the potential for use in field effect transistors, solar cells, sensors, surface acoustic wave devices and photodiodes due to the high conductivity and high transmittance in the visible part of the spectrum. ZnO as an insulator works through analytical solutions, but not necessarily through this investigation. The difference in oxide thickness during rf magentron sputtering change the capacitance for ZnO making it lower. For n-type substrates it appears that the capacitance after annealing was higher than the capacitance before annealing. After annealing, a stretched out capacitance-voltage curve indicates the presence of trapped oxide charges and an unsmoothed surface. A high resistivity material could be used for some devices. However, typically low resistivity materials are used. After ZnO samples were annealed (unetched) at different temperatures, the Hall-effect were performed and the mobility increased significantly by two orders of magnitude, but the sheet density decreased along with the carrier concentration. The only sample that appears to come to a high frequency C-V in equilibrium is the ZnO sample annealed at 980oC. The depletion region was distinguishable and the transition point (threshold voltage) was found to be at -1 V.

RWE, one of the world’s leading renewable energy companies, has signed an agreement with the Danish firm Systematic to deploy an innovative information management tool across its global fleet of offshore wind farms. The new system will be installed at RWE’s offshore wind projects in the UK first, followed by Germany, Denmark and Sweden and with a view to expanding its use more widely in the future. RWE’s offshore wind farms Humber Gateway and Rampion have already transitioned to using SITE.
“By implementing this new software tool to manage our global offshore wind fleet, we are taking an important step towards harmonising our control systems and optimising the operational efficiency of our projects. As one of the world’s most experienced offshore wind businesses, we understand that it is critical to try to anticipate the future needs of the offshore industry, and to ensure our people and our systems are well set up to deal with that”, says Sven Utermöhlen, Chief Operating Officer Wind Offshore Global, RWE Renewables
Under the contract, software company Systematic will supply it’s marine management tool, called SITE, to manage vessel and personnel information as well as existing operational data from all of RWE’s offshore projects. The tool will ensure RWE can optimize its offshore operations by ensuring working processes, induction and safety measures are consistent for both its Operations & Maintenance teams and its contractors around the world.
SITE is a cloud-based, software tool for managing offshore wind operations and can be scaled to include everything from a single wind farm to monitoring clusters of different wind farms worldwide. The new system will be installed at RWE’s offshore wind projects in the UK first, followed by Germany, Denmark and Sweden and with a view to expanding its use more widely in the future. RWE’s offshore wind farms Humber Gateway and Rampion have already transitioned to using SITE.
Claus Byskov, Systematic’s Senior Manager for Digital Transformation, said: “RWE’s ambition to manage a large set of operational data with the software solution provided by Systematic fits well with our goal to move beyond traditional marine coordination. We aim to support our customers with innovative solutions for managing offshore wind operations and to deliver the data needed to increase operational efficiency across a global portfolio of offshore wind farms.”
RWE’s offshore portfolio continues to expand in the UK. It’s Triton Knoll offshore wind farm is in a highly advanced stage of construction, while the 1.4 gigawatts (GW) Sofia offshore project at Dogger Bank has now started onshore enabling works and construction. In addition, four extension projects are already beginning public consultation, while RWE recently bid successfully for two new offshore sites with a potential total installed capacity of 3 GW in The Crown Estate’s Offshore Wind Round 4 Leasing auction.
As one of the world’s leading renewable energy companies, RWE targets to invest from 2020 until 2022 €5 billion net in renewable energy and to grow its global renewables portfolio to more than 13 gigawatts of net capacity.


Across the street from Metro's Vermont/Santa Monica Station in East Hollywood, rebar pillars are now rising at the site of a new mixed-use apartment complex from Los Angeles-based Canfield Development.
The project, now rising at 4750 Santa Monica Boulevard, will eventually consist of an eight-story building featuring 85 studio, one-, two- and four-bedroom apartments above 1,137 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 72 basement parking stalls.
Canfield secured approvals for the project in 2021 using Transit Oriented Communities incentives to permit a taller, denser apartment building than normally allowed by zoning rules. In exchange, 10 of the new apartments are to be set aside for rent as extremely low-income affordable housing for a period of 55 years.
HBA is designing the 4750 Santa Monica, which is depicted depicted in a rendering as a contemporary podium-type building with an exterior of metal panels and painted cement plaster. In addition to housing, the complex would feature a central courtyard and a rooftop terrace deck.
A landing page on the Canfield website, which names the project New Hampshire for its north-south cross-street, projects a completion date in 2024.
The project site sits directly across the street from a site controlled by Metro and Little Tokyo Service Center, where a six-story, 187-unit affordable housing development is now under construction, and a short walk from another mixed-income development from Jamison Services now rising at 4632 W.

The Pentagon on Monday released raw footage of three close encounters with “unidentified aerial phenomena” over the past 15 years, drawing fresh attention to the military’s highly secretive research into those fabled UFOs over American skies.
The three Navy videos — one from 2004 and two from 2015 — were posted to the Naval Air Systems Command website, though they had been leaked to outside organizations years ago and military officials have previously confirmed their authenticity.
But Monday marked the first time the short, startling clips were released through official government channels, and the unusual public disclosure of such footage was done to address critics and conspiracy theorists who have openly questioned whether the Pentagon hid the nature and full extent of its brushes with what some believe are extraterrestrial craft or machines from another dimension.
You can watch the videos HERE.
Military officials insist they’re not keeping secrets, while also conceding the most disturbing fact behind the footage: Years after the grainy videos were taken, there’s still no good explanation for the objects seen in them.
“The U.S. Navy previously acknowledged that these videos circulating in the public domain were indeed Navy videos,” Pentagon spokesperson Sue Gough said in a statement. “After a thorough review, the department has determined that the authorized release of these unclassified videos does not reveal any sensitive capabilities or systems, and does not impinge on any subsequent investigations of military air space incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena.”
“DOD is releasing the videos in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos,” she continued. “The aerial phenomena observed in the videos remain characterized as ‘unidentified.’”
The videos themselves are stunning and, depending on one’s point of view, deeply perplexing. The first video, taken by fighter pilots based aboard the USS Nimitz off the coast of California in 2004, is the most well known.
In the 76-second clip, the pilots follow an unknown object through the sky, and the UFO appears to be moving at an extremely high rate of speed.
The other two clips were taken by military pilots in January 2015, Pentagon officials said. Unlike the 2004 video, the more recent footage contains audio that offers a window into the confusion experienced by those tracking the aircraft.
“My gosh, look at that thing, dude,” a pilot is heard saying in one of the videos.
“It’s rotating,” another says as the craft clearly moves end over end.
A pilot also notes in one of the videos that the craft is “going against the wind,” while also appearing to move remarkably fast.
Advocates for greater government transparency in the realm of UFOs say Monday’s official release should serve as a wake-up call for the public and, given the military’s admission that it still doesn’t know the origin or makeup of the objects, should spur a release of additional information that’s been kept hidden for years.
“I applaud the Pentagon’s and U.S. Navy’s move to authenticate these 3 videos. It removes any lingering doubts in the minds of some that the videos are not real and, more importantly, reinforces the fact that UFOs exist and represent advanced technology flying around our skies that are not from earth,” Jan Harzan, executive director of the Mutual UFO Network, a research and investigative group, told The Washington Times.
“I would encourage the Pentagon and the various branches of the U.S. military, and other militaries around the world, to release all videos they have of these objects so that the public knows conclusively that UFOs are real, they are being engaged daily by our military, and they represent advanced technology flying around our skies not from earth,” he added.
Despite research dating back to the Air Force’s famed “Project Blue Book” and continuing until just a few years ago, Mr. Harzan and others say the military’s official response to clear instances of unexplainable phenomena in the sky has too often been to brush them aside. Instead, he and many other advocates argue, it’s time for a concerted government effort to find answers.
“It is time we call upon the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Government to fund UFO Research and allow our best and brightest scientists and engineers to study this phenomenon without fear of ridicule or derision,” he said.
Beyond the military putting its own imprimatur on the videos, Monday’s official disclosure offered little in the way of new information. The footage has been circulating on the internet for years.
Some of the footage was shared publicly by the To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science, a project founded by Blink 182 frontman and noted UFO researcher Tom DeLonge.
“The Pentagon just officially released my videos … just sayin’,” Mr. DeLonge tweeted Monday.
Public information on the Pentagon’s UFO investigations remains deeply guarded, but it’s become increasingly clear that there’s been an ongoing effort deep inside the Defense Department to investigate unknown aerial phenomena.
In 2017, the New York Times revealed the existence of a Pentagon program to study UFOs that ran from 2007 to 2012. One of its chief backers on Capitol Hill was former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat.
“Im glad the Pentagon is finally releasing this footage, but it only scratches the surface of research and materials available,” Mr. Reid said on Twitter Monday. “The U.S. needs to take a serious, scientific look at this and any potential national security implications. The American people deserve to be informed.”

The Senate has mandated its committees on Navy, Marine Transport and Finance to carry out a comprehensive investigation into the activities of Messrs OMLS limited and other security agencies at the Safe Anchorage Area in the Lagos ports.
This is to determine the legality of their operations and their revenue and report back to the upper chamber in four weeks.
This is a sequel to a motion sponsored by Sen. George Sekibo (PDP-Rivers east) during Thursday’s plenary on “Illegal security activities by Messrs OMLS Limited at the Safe Anchorage Area of Lagos Ports and the need to investigate their excesses.”
He noted that it was the statutory responsibility of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), the Nigerian Navy and the Marine Police to ensure security and safety within Nigeria’s territorial waters.
“Safety and security of the Safe Anchorage Area in the Lagos waters where ships going to Lagos ports anchor prior to berthing at any of the ports in Lagos is also within the statutory function of the above-named agencies.”
Sekibo further said that the security company registered in the name of OMLS Limited had since 2014, carried out the provision of security of the Lagos ports safe anchorage area on fees from vessels without regard to the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).
ALSO READ: Nigeria must prepare for post-oil years now — Kwara gov
He explained that NPA by the Ports Act of 1954 had the responsibility of securing the area.
Sekibo who is Chairman Senate Committee on Navy noted that the OMLS limited charged every ship that anchored within the Safe Area 2,500 dollars on the first day of anchorage and 1,500 dollars subsequent days for the period any ship stayed at the anchorage area.
“It takes between 28 to 30 days for ships that anchor at the Safe Anchorage Area to exit,” he said.
Contributing, Sen. James Manager (PDP- Delta South) said that the marine transport industry if properly managed would generate a lot of revenue for the country.
In his remark, President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan emphasized “Our committees on navy, marine transport and finance, you have a big responsibility on your shoulders.
” This is a serious matter and we have to treat it as such. In four weeks, we expect that you would have conducted an investigation and will report back to the Senate in plenary.
“Anything we can find now, Nigeria’s money is something we pursue with utmost zeal and focus.”

A week in Tuscany
My wife and I are flying into Rome, renting a car and driving to Montecchio, Italy where we are staying with friends in a Villa for a week. Before our week begins at the Villa, we have Saturday and part of Sunday before check in to stay on the way or around the area of the Villa. I am looking at suggestions for that! I thought about Orvieto
I am also looking for an itinerary of where to go the week we are at the Villa. The obvious choices are Florence, Sienna, San Grit., Azzerio. I am open to all things unique.
Once we leave the Villa we have a couple days, Sunday and Monday before returning to Rome for 4 days. We thought about the coast and would like suggestions there or would entertain other ideas.
Since this may be our only trip to Italy for a while I want to hit the major areas but also want to see the region and what it is all about.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I am amending the area where the Villa is. It is 30 minutes outside of Sienna
I also have decided while waiting for a reply to spend a least two days in Florence before or after the Villa, a day in Sienna and a day doing wine tours.
Any additional help would be appreciated.

I'm making a similar trip in Oct. If we didn't need to get to our villa the same day, I'd have planned an overnight in Orvieto. From there to Civita Di Bagnoregio might be something you'd like. Not a long trip by bus or car from Orvieto if you stopped there. We plan to drive from FCO to Civita, then on through to Orvieto for few hours before on to stay in Chianti. We've chosen to drive because of our schedule, but many forums have made a very good point of how jet lagged we generally are after such a long flight, possibly making driving tiresome. Just some things to consider - It's easy to get to Orvieto by train from Rome, and another train on to Siena. There are car rentals in Siena near the train station. Would also be simple to take a fast train to Florence and spend your first days there. A car in Florence is more problem than help. You could pick up a car leaving there, or after taking a train back to Siena. Sounds like Siena could also be a short day trip from where you're staying. Just some thoughts I've gathered in our planning. What ever works out for you, have a wonderful time!
August 20, 2013, 12:00 PM
Am glad you amended your first post... as I was reading it, I was thinking that isn't in Tuscany, it's in Umbria!!
Since you'll be around Siena for the week after, the days before would be a great chance to see the area between Rome and Siena - so either Orvieto or Perugia would be great choices.... and both are easily reached with train if you want to wait to pick up the car after resting for a day.
You can visit Florence as a day trips during your week or at the end.... and a car in Florence is generally more of a problem, as it isn't needed and you have to worry about parking it somewhere while you're in Florence... or find accommodation that offers parking.
So during your week, I'd suggest:
- Siena - at least a whole day
- San Gimignano + Monteriggioni on the way there (very small medieval castle so it's a neat stop to see but there isn't that much to see or do after you've walked around it and gone up the walls)
- Volterra + Colle Val d'Elsa on the way or back from Volterra
- Arezzo - a whole day
- the Val d'Orcia area - you can actually spend two days exploring the area - you can go to Montalcino and the Sant'Antimo abbey, San Quirico d'Orcia, Pienza and Montepulciano
- Pisa and Lucca - further away but also worth it
A great way to see the wine regions and do wine tastings without worrying about driving is to do small group tours of the wineries - here are some that leave from Siena, since it is where you'll be closest to.
As wine regions to explore, there is Chianti, the area around San Gimignano produces Vernaccia di San Gimignano, a great light white wine, the area of Val d'Orcia has two great reds: the Brunello di Montalcino and the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. This would be a good tour for Montalcino and Brunello.
In Montepulciano, there is a wine shop that offers wine tastings of ALL of the producers in the area so it's a great way to get to taste many wines of various estates (open only in afternoons).
So the hard part will be deciding what to see and do.... on your drive back to Rome, you can certainly drive down along the coast with a night stop along the way. I'd recommend stopping around the area of Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci or further south on the Argentario, either in Porto Ercole or Santo Stefano ;-).
August 20, 2013, 12:05 PM
You're right - depending on where you're coming in from and how long your flight is, you should consider whether you want to get behind the wheel of a rental car right away.
I usually recommend using those first few days to fit in Rome, especially if you've never been, it is a good way to first relax and have reached your destination before moving on again.
Hope you're having fun planning the trip - and if you need any further ideas or suggestions, just let us know!
August 23, 2013, 02:19 PM
Thank you Lourdes! I was hoping you would post.
We have decided to do the following for now, that could change!
Rent a car in Rome and drive to Orvieto for the day and evening. Next day if time permits drive to Civita di Bagnoregio since it is close by and we do not have to be to the Villa under 4:00 the 1st.
The week at the Villa, take day trips to Sienna, Arezzo, visit the wine country one day with a driver. I am working on other day trips and will check in to your suggestions Lourdes.
After the week at the Villa, drive to Florence for two days. I have rented a B & B with parking on the out shirts of the city. 20 minute walk in or bus!
From there drive to Rome for four days.
I realize this is a lot of driving but my week at the Villa is paid for and we are joining friends. So if I want to see it all then I have to drive.
August 27, 2013, 11:48 AM
If your driving is limited to getting around on your day trips, I don't think it is too much. The B&B with parking is definitely needed so that you don't have to worry about parking in Florence - you won't need it at all to visit Florence and this way you can just arrive and forget about it.
As far as Rome, I'd return the car as soon as you can since you also don't need it there, particularly if you will stay in a central area. Just walk and use taxis when your legs start feeling tired ;-).
Hope you're enjoying the planning - it sounds good so far!!
October 22, 2013, 10:08 AM
A day in Sienna and a day doing wine tours.

Metallurgical Coal Railcar Load-Out
This is an example of a met coal railcar loadout bin that is suffering from chronic bridging and rat-holing. It is a good example of poor bin geometry combined with uneven discharge that is resulting in inconsistent discharge.
The Existing Storage and Feed Arrangement and Why it is Suffering from Chronic Plugging and Inconsistent Discharge
The existing bin consists of of twin funnel flow (first-in, last-out) pyramid hoppers leading to small square discharge openings. One discharge opening is metered with a screw feeder and the other is metered using a clamshell gate.
The combination of the small openings and multiple shallow walls as well as the behavior of the feeders results in a hopper that cannot reliably discharged with only gravity. Because the discharge openings are small one would expect a tendency for stable rat-holes to form over the openings, and for the bins to suffer from erratic discharge. Finally, a consequence of having a first-in, last-out discharge is that stagnant material is left along the silo walls. Stagnant material will gain strength over time, further creating the conditions for plugging and erratic discharge.
The solution to fixing this problem storage and feed system has two parts. The first half of the solution is to reconfigure the hopper to include steep sloped walls, and move away from pyramid style hoppers to more conservative plane flow hoppers with a wide and long discharge opening. The wide and long discharge opening is required to overcome the bridging dimension of met coal. Overcoming the bridging dimension is necessary to ensure that the material cannot bridge over the feeder.
Changing the bin geometry will promote a mass flow discharge. Mass flow is a first-in, first-out discharge pattern. The definition of mass flow is that during discharge, the entire mass of stored material comes down as a single body (single mass). The tell-tale sign that you have mass flow is that material is sliding down the bin walls. To achieve this, material must discharge evenly from the entire discharge outlet of the storage bin. This requirement leads to the second half of the solution.
The second half of the solution is to pair each plane flow hopper with a fully-effective feeder – that is a feeder that withdraws material evenly from its entire infeed opening. Again, by definition, to achieve mass flow, where the stored material comes down as a single body, the feeder must withdraw material evenly from its entire opening. If the Feeder withdraws material selectively from the bin discharge outlet, sections of material in the bin will be stagnant and funnel flow will ensue.
A great example of a fully-effective feeder is the Kamengo Feeder. In addition to being fully-effective, the Feeder offers consistent metering, and can be made as wide as needed and as long as wanted. As a result, the Kamengo Feeder offers valuable advantages when designing for a difficult flowing material.
To learn more about the physics of storage bin and feeder design as well as the root causes of bin plugging, please download our white paper entitled: The Design of Reliable Storage Bins and Feeders for the Mining Industry.

I’m very fond of Magnus Mills’ work and when I found The Restraint of Beasts, his first novel, in a second hand bookshop, I was excited. I wondered what his first novel would be like and the title was promising.
The narrator is an English fencer working for a Scottish firm specialising in high tensile fencing. The novel opens with him being made foreman of a team of two almost inseparable Scots. Tam and Richie, both motivated by beer, survive on an endless system of subs and loans that dwindles their coming month’s wages. Unlike the narrator, they have no thoughts of extending their career beyond fencing. It doesn’t take long for the reader to extrapolate wider meanings for the term beasts.
The team is put together for a job in England, but before they can go they first have to fix a job they have supposedly just finished: Mr McCrindle’s fence has gone slack; not a very good start (something that gets said a lot). When they get to England they fall under the stronghold of the Hall Brothers who seem to be in charge of all the beasts from pigs to men. Before long they are working for the Hall Brothers on a seven foot high, high tensile electric fence with no gates. They wonder how you get anything out and I wonder how you get anything in. What is the fence for? Why are Hall Brothers workers all men fed only on Hall Brothers’ meat? What does it really mean to win the school dinners contract? Why is it so easy to bury the mistakes of a labourer (you’ll see what I mean)?
I enjoyed The Restraint of Beasts but in the end too much was left unexplored for my tastes. Whilst I understand that Mills is contemplating the nature of contract working, extrapolating out from one closed nit community to the workings of society in general, and that the worker doesn’t need to see the big picture to complete his job whose boundaries are as clear as the fences he’s building, I’m surprised there isn’t more conjecture on the narrator’s part. He likes to imagine he is a little higher up the food chain than Tam and Richie. Perhaps if the novel had been a little longer I would have had many more questions answered, but perhaps the book would then no longer have been the dance Mills intended. I wanted the novel to step further into the unspoken surreal edge that hovers around the story, crackling with the electric tension of the fence its main characters are busy building. I wanted more allegory and Mills went for more mystery.
The Restraint of Beasts is an intriguing book, but if I were to recommend a novel by Magnus Mills, I would recommend Three To See The King. That’s a book that does more of what I had hoped The Restraint of Beasts was working up to. Nevertheless, The Restraint of Beasts has a bleak humour that raises a rye smile about the economies of contract working and its implications for the restraints we place around ourselves.
Next week, I’m reading We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler, followed by J by Howard Jacobson.


What is LO-ACT?
LO-ACT is looking at the 'ordinary actions' taken by citizens to improve everyday life whilst tackling climate change.
The project will examine specific examples of climate change actions and policies to find out how ideas, materials, technologies, and expertise can be transferred across urban contexts.
LO-ACT will develop tools to design and discuss urban climate change politics.
Academics and policymakers prioritise the study of hi-tech solutions
or focus on the needs of global, wealthy cities...
We need new methods and approaches that see low carbon actions as initiatives that emerge from within cities and that respond to local problems.
Attaining low carbon cities depends on ordinary actions, the kind of small shifts in everyday life whereby citizens themselves become the agents of change.
These ‘ordinary actions' are crucial to deliver large-scale transformations and innovations needed to build low carbon cities.
By 2050, 2 out 3 inhabitants on Earth will live in urban areas.
The project focuses on cities under 1 million inhabitants in areas of Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia.
Responses to climate change are taking place now. We need to understand if current actions are enough to address the climate crisis.


This study focuses on 3-D multilayer monolithic integration of vertical-oriented double-heterojunction AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs based pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors. The effects of the presence of 3-D components above the active layer were accomplished by comparing three multilayer fabricated device of different thickness with a virgin device where the thickness of the 3-D components e.g., both metal and polyimide layer were varied. The output current, on-state gate leakage, transconductance are found to be decrease with the increase in thickness of the 3-D components and on the other hand, the on-state resistance, knee voltage and off-state gate leakage is increased. Lastly, the thermal influences on the device behaviour such as off-state and on-state gate leakage, barrier inhomogeneities at Schottky contacts, zero temperature coefficients at the transfer curve, and the threshold voltage as a function of drain bias were measured and analyzed for the both pre and post fabricated multilayer devices. These effective comparisons in terms of thickness and temperature of the both device are useful for future designs and optimizations of multilayer vertical stacked 3-D MMICs.

A fable by the Persian writer 'Obayd-e Zakani (appr. 1300-1370), illustrated in ten first black and white and later 4- and 5-colored linoleum prints by Farangis.
The original black and white version of the illustrations for Zakani's story 'About Cat and Mice' has been exhibited 1985 at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London / England and 1986 at the Library of the University of Chicago in Illinois, USA.
Also in the mid eighties, the four- and five-colored edition was released in cooperation with the German hand printer the Harrisfeldwegpresse. The decision to turn the graphics into a multicolored version was led by a fascination with working out variations, and also a result of a synthesis creative exchange between the Edition Farangis and the Harrisfeldwegpresse.
By displaying the illustrations here in the internet we want to primarily emphasize the aspect of the story that makes up the intersecting part between arts and politics. The story 'About Cat and Mice' still has just as much political relevance as it had in the past. Packed into a seemingly harmless sounding fable, the story conveys a strong moral message: The uphill battle of the weak against the strong; it mirrors the emotional dilemma of the 'eternal political looser'.
The initial black and white version of Farangis illustrations make the straightness and clearness of the applied technique in particular clear. Using the linoleum print as a method for creating an arts print has often been underestimated, perhaps since the material is a preferred medium for beginners. But it is exactly the 'simple' black and white linoleum block print, that can - depending on the cutting technique - create such a strong dynamical expression.
But also the colored print does not lose the specialness of a linoleum print. Transferring the strictness of the clear black and white cuts into colors worked equally well by using an intense color scheme. The usage of copper printing paper, which has an unglued and rough surface, made an almost impressionist coloring possible in the handprints.
Currently it is perhaps planned to release a small paperback edition of the illustrations.

Served with Pineapple & Roasted Corn Salsa, Avocado, and Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Finally some food porn for those thirsty eyes of yours! I have been putting some miles on my waffle maker and cranking out chaffles for meal prep the past few weeks. They are quick, easy, inexpensive, and versatile.
I have been starting to swap out whole eggs with egg whites to cut back on some calories and cholesterol because RuPaul knows these genes are wrecked 😂 Gotta preserve what I got! I have also been experimenting with different ingredients and flavors to jazz them up a bit. The jalapeños from my dad's garden gave these a kick of heat and the sweet potato and corn gave a complimentary natural sweetness. These are some of my favorite so far and will definitely be in my lunchbox again in the future.
Next in my chaffle thirst trap adventures are going to be lemon ricotta chaffles with blueberry compote. Get those brunch forks ready!
1 small sweet potato, baked & puréed
½ cup egg whites or 2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tbsp almond flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
½ tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
½ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp chipotle powder
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
1 jalapeño, chopped w/ seeds
2 tbsp sweet corn kernels
1 green onion, sliced
½ cup reduced fat Mexican-style cheese, shredded
1 tbsp blue cheese crumbles
Yields about 5 chaffles
In a mixing bowl, whisk together sweet potato, egg, flour, baking powder, chia seeds, cilantro, parsley, chili powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir in cheeses, jalapeño, corn, and half of the green onion (NOTE: For less spicy chaffles, discard the jalapeño seeds before incorporating). Set aside.
Preheat waffle maker.
After the waffle maker is preheated, spray both sides with cooking spray. With a spoon, add enough batter to cover the bottom plate, but not overflow it. Spread the batter evenly with the back of the spoon. Close the waffle maker and cook the chaffle to desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the chaffle from the waffle iron and repeat with the remaining batter (NOTE: Spray the waffle iron after every other chaffle to ensure even cooking and to prevent sticking). Allow the chaffles to cool about 2 to 3 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.
To serve, top a chaffle with salsa, nonfat Greek yogurt, and coarsely chopped cilantro.


Julius Erving’s NBA Championship Ring, Ali’s Frazier Trunks Up for Auction
Hall of Fame player Julius Erving’s only National Basketball Association championship ring and the trunks Muhammad Ali wore in his first fight against Joe Frazier are among sports memorabilia being put up for auction.
Several items from the personal collection of Erving, who was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993 following 11 seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers and five in the American Basketball Association, will be up for online bids by SCP Auctions beginning Oct. 28, the auction house said in a news release.
Erving is auctioning his championship ring from the 1982-83 NBA season, when the 76ers went 65-17, lost one playoff game and swept the Los Angeles Lakers in the finals; ABA championship rings from 1974 and 1976 with the New York Nets; Most Valuable Player trophies from each league, and several game-worn jerseys.
The minimum bid is $25,000 for the NBA championship ring, and $20,000 for each ABA title ring as well as the 1980-81 NBA MVP Trophy.
Erving said in a statement issued by the auction house that he would donate part of the proceeds to the Salvation Army.
Erving, whose above-the-rim playing style was credited with helping to bring about the merger of the NBA and ABA, was an All-Star in every season he played, retiring with a 24.2 points- per-game scoring average in the two leagues. His combined 30,026 points are fifth on the career list.
Ali’s blood-red trunks worn during his March 8, 1971, boxing match against Frazier at New York’s Madison Square Garden -- labeled the “Fight of the Century” -- also will be up for auction. The bout, which Frazier won in a decision, came after Ali was barred from fighting for three years after denouncing the Vietnam War and refusing induction into the U.S. Army. The minimum bid on the trunks is $10,000.
Other items up for auction include the bat Lou Gehrig used to hit his last home run in a Yankees uniform and Mickey Cochrane’s 1934 American League MVP trophy.
The auction will conclude Nov. 19.

In the past 13 years, Ecuador has seen eight presidents, all of whom were elected to four-year terms.
1997: Abdala Bucaram, elected in 1996, was declared mentally unfit to rule and removed by Congress after less than six months into his term. Vice president Rosalia Arteaga ruled briefly until interim president Fabian Alarcon was appointed and called early elections.
2000: Jamil Mahuad, elected for 1998-2003, was forced to step down after demonstrations by Ecuador's indigenous people and a military revolt led by then Colonel Lucio Gutierrez. He was replaced by vice president Gustavo Noboa.
2005: Lucio Gutierrez, elected for the 2003-2007 presidential period, is deposed after massive demonstrations and a congressional vote to remove him for abandoning his constitutional duties. He was replaced by his vice president, Alfredo Palacios.
2010: Rafael Correa, an ally of leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, was first elected in 2006 and re-elected to a second term in 2009 after a constitutional reform. His mandate runs out in 2013 and now faces what he has branded a "coup".
