Two explosions took place during the night of Saturday to Sunday at different locations in Antwerp.
The first happened at around 03.00 in the district of Deurne, when a loud noise was heard. A police forensic team attended, together with the army bomb disposal unit Dovo.
“This was certainly not a grenade. What it was, though, is still being investigated,” said Sven Lommaert of the Antwerp police.
The explosion took place in front of a house adjoining the premises of a construction company, damaging the front door.
“While the teams were at work in Deurne, an explosion was reported in Godtsstraat in Borgerhout, so they immediately went there,” Lommaert said.
What they found was indeed evidence of a grenade placed under a parked car. The location is close to the scene of a shooting on Friday night, when at least one shot was fired at the facade of a house in the Beukenstraat.
Police at present decline to speculate openly about the background to the various incidents, including a connection between the three, and whether they may be linked to previous shootings and explosions in Antwerp, where evidence suggests a link to rival drugs gangs.
“A loud noise was heard last night, but our services were not notified until this afternoon,” Lommaert commented yesterday.
“It is unclear what triggered the incident, and whether there is a link with previous incidents. That is also part of our investigation.”
Previous incidents in Antwerp include an explosion by a pancake restaurant in the Zuid area, and two more in Deurne – all in June this year, and all involving grenades.
No-one has so far been injured in any of the incidents.

CA Educators Commend Protection of Public Education in Governor’s Proposed Budget
“Gov. Newsom’s proposed budget continues to keep our state’s commitment to equitable access to a quality public education and resources for all California students,” CTA President David B. Goldberg said.
“CTA will continue to work with lawmakers throughout this year’s budget process to ensure the final budget reflects the will of California voters, educators, and parents to prioritize public schools and colleges.”
SACRAMENTO—California Teachers Association (CTA) President David B. Goldberg issued the following statement following today’s presentation of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposed 2024-2025 state budget:
“Governor Newsom’s proposed budget continues to keep our state’s commitment to equitable access to a quality public education and resources for all California students. In the face of a $37.86 billion budget shortfall, the governor’s ongoing commitment to public education means that school districts and community colleges will be able to build on the recent investments in education that have expanded learning opportunities for students.
“We are especially pleased that the governor remains unwavering in his commitment to Community Schools. With the historic $4.1 billion investment maintained, California is on the road to making one in four California schools a Community School. This prioritizes democratic decision making, racial justice, and the needs of students.
“CTA will continue to work with lawmakers throughout this year’s budget process to ensure the final budget reflects the will of California voters, educators, and parents to prioritize public schools and colleges. We will work to ensure there are no layoffs to educators and school employees as we have seen in some past budget deficit years. Layoffs are devastating and chaotic for educators, students, and communities. The budget shortfall this year, and the potential for cuts or freezes to vital services that people depend on, highlight the need for long-term, consistent investment in all public services, including public schools. California is the fifth largest economy in the world, and our students deserve nothing less than an education system that reflects that economic strength.”
The 310,000-member CTA is affiliated with the 3-million-member National Education Association.

Proposition 98: What You Should Know
Passed by California voters in 1988, Proposition 98 sets a minimum funding guarantee for public education. That amount can vary slightly from year to year but is usually around 40 – 41 percent. Learn more via EdSource.
School Finance: Addressing Inequities
A large share of our K-12 students are English learners or from low-income families, costing more to educate. The Local Control Funding Formula provides a base grant for all students and supplemental and concentration grants for these students.
Local Control Funding Formula and the State Budget
When Governor Jerry Brown proposed the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) in 2013, he said “Equal treatment for children in unequal situations is not justice.” CTA continues to advocate for justice for all students in our budget process and through the local control funding formula. CTA believes:
- State and federal government should provide adequate funding for education in order for school districts to fulfill the goals of providing a quality education and necessary resources to meet the individual needs of all students.
- Students with the greatest needs (English language learners, foster youth and low-income students) require additional resources to achieve the state’s academic standards. That is why when it was first implemented during the 2013-14 school year, the CTA State Council of Education adopted its Budget Principles that define support for the LCFF based on equal funding for students most in need, restoration of the deficit factor, an annual cost-of-living adjustment while the formula is being implemented over a period of several years, and full funding for K-3 Class Size Reduction Program.
- Funding must be based on enrollment and that quantifiable data is consistently applied and publicly available.
CTA continues to advocate for additional, ongoing funding for the LCFF as stated in the most recently-adopted CTA Budget Principles for 2019-20.

I wrap up my backpack, bidding goodbye to the kindest hotel receptionist in Chaing Mai and head to Pai, a low-key oasis on a mountain four-ish hours away. The ride in the mini-bus is bouncy and fun, our bodies tossed like dolls as we climbed up the curvaceous mountain road. Driving on the left is still a mystery to me despite experiencing such behavior now in India and in Thailand. I never seem to know how to cross the street properly.
I meet some super fun friends in the van, an Irish, a Swede, and an American, all staying together in a larger and seemingly exuberant group of travelers who will join the following day. I share some info about shamanism and my time at John of God with them and they seem a bit skeptic but agreeable to listen. We will all play perhaps later.
The streets are super narrow in Pai, the minibus driver carefully navigating his way to the bus stop, passing yet another lively night market. Thailand. You truly know how to spend your evenings. Check into a recommended hotel, a place with individual cute bamboo huts and head out to feast my eyes and my belly on the pedestrian only streets. The markets get more and more creative as one ventures out of the main cities, the colors of the foods more electric, the offerings more exotic. Sensational.
(I made friends with the galactic Thai tea man.)
Pai is like the Woodstock of Thailand, with vegetarian eateries, tea houses, artistic craft shops, outdoor adventures, yoga, healing arts.
Hippy dippy everything.
I LOVE PAI.

News flash! You don’t have to starve yourself and overhaul your life to shed off…
Looking for a more effective way to shed off pounds? A high-protein diet is your key to healthy weight loss. Although exercise is the only way to burn fat, eating adequate amounts of protein may promote weight loss as it enhances satiety, increases metabolism and makes it easier to stick with a low calorie diet. Today, we’ll show you how protein can burn fat.
Protein and Weight Loss
Protein acts as an “aid” in weight loss and burning fat fast. Studies show that those who consumed a higher protein diet lost more weight than those who followed a high-carbohydrate diet even when calories were kept the same in both diets. Protein can also help boost your metabolism. Aside from these, because protein keeps your tummy satisfied for a longer period of time, your overall calorie intake is decreased.
Make Sure These High Protein Foods are A Part of Your Daily Diet:
Advantages of Protein for Weight Loss
Consuming sufficient amounts of protein regularly gets your body to protect your muscle and burn body fat.
Keeps You Satisfied
Protein helps you feel fuller longer, curbs your appetite and controls hunger pangs. These are all things you definitely want working in your favor when trying to shed off weight.
Protein is one macronutrient with the largest “thermic effect” (when all food is digested, your body burns calories during that digestion stage). Protein needs the most amount of calories to digest which means consuming more protein on a daily basis will lead to more calories burned by the body.
Herbalife Formula 1 Shake – The Best Protein Shake for Weight Loss
We’ve all heard about protein shakes and how they are a practical source of nutrition and how they help you lose weight. If you are in search of the best protein shake, we recommend you Herbalife’s Formula 1 Shake. It’s a healthy meal-replacement shake that contains up to 19 essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients which helps in weight management.
- Convenient and A Breeze to Prepare – perfect for “on the go” individuals
- Burns Fat – decreases the amount of calories consumed, body fat and visceral fat (abdominal fat)
- Helps You Gain Lean Muscle Mass – taking a protein shake before working out is important as it affects the kind of energy being utilized for exercise which helps boost lean body mass
- Avoids Overeating – Formula 1 Shake allows you to feel fuller longer and supports metabolism
- Contains 9 grams of healthy protein in each serving
- It Tastes Good – Formula 1 Shake is available in 5 mouth-watering flavors (French Vanilla, Dutch Chocolate, Strawberry, Tropical Fruit and Cappuccino) which can satisfy your sweet cravings minus the negative effect of sugar
Yes, protein can burn fat and give you the figure you’ve always dreamed of. BUT remember, it will only take effect when coupled with a healthy, well-balanced diet and regular exercise.

Rooting for you,

This scale model is an open-air public monument that represents the geography of Guatemala. It was designed in 1904 by Engineer Francisco Vela and covers 1,800 square meters. This relief map shows all natural and non-natural geographical features like rivers, lakes, volcanoes, ports, railways, roads, provinces, districts and important locations. Due to its historical and artistic value, it is considered national heritage. This work is unique in the world, as no other country has a relief map of such dimensions. There are two vantage points. In order to produce this map, Engineer Francisco Vela went around the national territory on foot and horseback to make the necessary calculations and grasp the country's different features and geography. Next to the map there is a small forest formed by a group of hormigo trees, the wood of which is used to make marimbas. These trees were planted in commemoration of the marimba tradition in Guatemala. At the end of the tour you can visit the shop, which offers postcards, books and brochures with information on this work.

Three-Dimensional Metrology for CMP process evaluation with In-line Wide-Area Atomic Force Microscope
Conference: ICPT 2007 - International Conference on Planarization / CMP Technology

Murayama, Ken; Morimoro, Takafumi; Kunitomo, Yuichi; Edamura, Manabu; Sekino, Satoshi; Kurenuma, Toru (Hitachi-kenki FineTech Co., Ltd., 650 Kandatsu-cho, Tsuchiura-shi, Ibaraki, 300-0013 Japan)
We have developed a new in-line CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) metrology tool which enables us to measure surface-topography from local dishing-erosion to global planarity with AFM (Atomic Force Microscope). To achieve a balance between the high-through- put operation and the high-accuracy measurement, and to get a large amount of statistically viable data efficiently, we have employed a new scanning-stage system with three mechanical guides built into an in-line AFM system designed for 300 mm wafer. With this set up we verified a through-put of 30 wafer / Hr with 5-site profile measurements with a measurement stability of 0.1 nm. The work was carried out in a clean room environment where the guide conditions could be changed automatically as needed. We then measured CMP and CMP-related samples. For the local area measurement we employed CNT (Carbon Nano Tube) probe to measure the dishing of Cu / Low-k patterns, the high aspect-ratios, and the narrow trench structures of STI. We also showed the possibility of perpendicular sidewall roughness measurement of Cu-seed sample by obtaining 3D images of the wall. Moreover, we measured the global flatness from 20 mm x 20 mm to 40 mm x 40 mm area to meet the larger chip size requirement. Finally, we discussed the effectiveness of the process evaluation and of the feedback to device design with the high-throughput and high-accuracy AFM system.

Harry Maguire has struggled to gain regular first-team football under Erik ten Hag.
Man United’s former captain and defender Harry Maguire talked about his tough days at Man United in recent times. He expressed his delight after scoring the winning goal in Manchester United’s win over Copenhagen in the Champions League.
The English international has struggled to gain regular first-team football under Erik ten Hag. They have the options like Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof in defence.
The 30-year-old played in place of injured Lisandro Martinez and it worked out for Man United who were searching for their first win in the Champions League. He was also the man of the match in last weekend’s 2-1 win over Sheffield United.
His strike against Sheffield United was his first since February 2022. Now, he helped Man United to claim their first three points in Group A of the Champions League.
While talking about his goal in an interview with MUTV, as quoted by the Manchester Evening News, the 30-year-old defender said: “It was all about the delivery, which made it easy for me to hit the target from so close and an amazing feeling to score in front of the Stretford End in the Champions League and a big moment for myself, but more importantly, the team.”
He added, “Playing for this club, there’s ups and downs. When you win, everyone is on top of the world and when you lose, there’s a crisis and it’s always someone’s fault. Andre is a big personality and he’ll get used to it.
“He’s going to be a big player for this club. He’s had a lot of scrutiny but we’ve been giving him far too much to deal with as a defence, so it’s a big moment for him and it’s a really high-standard penalty save. I’m really pleased for him.”
“I’m just really happy to help the team win football matches,” said Maguire. “I’ve been professional over the last year or so, it’s been tough for me, not playing as much as I’ve done throughout my career, so it’s been different.
“But that’s football and playing for a big club, you have big competition, we have a lot of competition at centre-back, with some top, top quality players. I do believe that, so it’s a really important part of the season for me.
“But it’s only the start and I’m ready now to kick on, help the team and I’m looking forward to Sunday.”

Dutch marine services company HEBO is getting ready to add its biggest sheerleg crane to its fleet with an impressive lifting capacity of 900 tons and a high lifting height.
“This sheerleg has a maximum lifting capacity of 900 tons and it also has an impressive lifting capacity at longer reaches. At a reach of 22.5 meters it can lift up to 800 tons and it can still lift 500 tons at a reach of 46 meters,” said Wiebbe Bonsink, CEO of HEBO Maritiemservice.
HEBO will take delivery of the crane in mid-January 2018 in Denmark from DBB Salvage. With it, the company hope to break into the Baltic Sea market.
“We can use it for activities in the Baltic Sea but also in the North Sea or in Rotterdam,” said Bonsink.
Other features of the crane include a 100-ton auxiliary hoist with a maximum lifting height of 74 meters and a maximum reach of more than 60 meters. The sheerleg, which is self-propelled, is also equipped with a dynamic positioning system. In the future, Bonsink also wants to equip it with a jib.
“This way, we will be able to lift heavy loads at greater heights”, he said.

In the world of item growth and quality control, making sure that a product can hold up against a range of ecological conditions is of critical significance. This is where weather chambers and examination tools come into play. These specialized devices permit manufacturers to replicate various ecological problems and examine the durability of their items. In this article, we will discover the relevance of weather chambers and their role in product testing, as well as the numerous kinds of examination tools readily available, consisting of salt spray chambers.
Weather chambers, additionally called environment chambers or temperature level humidity chambers, are important devices in product testing. These chambers are created to reproduce a vast array of environmental conditions, including temperature level, moisture, and also altitude. By subjecting products to these regulated conditions, suppliers can assess their durability, integrity, and efficiency.
Temperature level examination chambers are developed to subject products to severe temperature variants. This is vital for examining exactly how a product will carry out in settings with fluctuating temperatures, such as electronics exposed to severe chilly or warm problems. By controlling and monitoring temperature, these chambers make sure regular and precise screening.
Humidity examination chambers, on the various other hand, concentrate on imitating different moisture degrees. These chambers are vital when examining exactly how products respond to high humidity, such as digital devices in tropical climates, or low moisture, as seen in deserts. Recognizing just how an item behaves under different moisture problems is essential for its integrity.
Temperature level humidity test chambers combine the features of both temperature level and moisture chambers. They are suitable for testing items in problems where temperature and moisture levels can vary simultaneously, like screening auto components that require to endure both extreme cold and high moisture during operation.
Along with climatic chambers, there are customized examination chambers like salt spray chambers, also called salt fog chambers. These chambers concentrate on simulating the harsh impacts of salt in marine and seaside settings. This is specifically important for products subjected to deep sea, like ship elements, marine equipment, or offshore frameworks. Salt spray chambers help examine the longevity and corrosion resistance of these products.

Spinal fusion surgery for children with spinal deformities, can lead to life-changing improvements in pain relief, daily functioning, and cosmetic appearance. With proper screening, the majority of children do well after undergoing surgery to correct spinal deformity. However, for a small percentage of children, additional surgery may be required in order to address painful symptoms, a deformity that continues to progress or to maintain the child’s growth potential.
There are a number of factors may contribute to the need for primary surgery, including:
- Pseudarthrosis, or a non-union of the bone, following a spinal fusion surgery;
- Crankshaft phenomenon: in which the posterior column of the spine is fused, and the anterior column continues to grow and “rotate” around the fused area;
- Junctional degeneration: damage to the spine (discs and vertebrae) that develops above or below the area that has been fused;
- Deformity progression (also known as “adding on”) in the sagittal and/or coronal planes of the spine;
- Infection in the bone or around instrumentation;
- Fixed sagittal imbalance (also called flatback): a condition in which too much of the natural sway in the lumbar spine has been eliminated;
- Pain associated with instrumentation, either due to prominence of the implanted instrumentation and tenderness, or related to infection;
- Broken implants requiring replacement.
The nature of revision surgeries can vary, depending on the underlying problem. In order to help to guide the orthopedist’s treatment recommendations, there must be a thorough understanding of the patient’s condition prior to surgery. For this, there is no better way to do it than with an intuitive 3D pre-operative planning software, though for orthopedic surgeons and developed with surgeons, such as PeekMed.
Surgeries for pediatric spinal deformities present a complex set of challenges, but with diligent preoperative assessment and diagnosis and proper perioperative technique, as well as the participation of a multidisciplinary team including pediatricians, nutritionists, intensive care, and pulmonary specialists, patients can do very well.
