For treating paper with a methyltrimethoxysilane oligomer to improve its tensile strength after hydrolysis and poly-condensation of the oligomer, three types of treatment solutions were prepared which consisted of titanium butoxide, a standard amount of hydrochloric acid and a five-times excess amount of hydrochloric acid. The paper treated with titanium butoxide had a dramatically improved tensile strength compared to the base paper, and it reacted with the oligomer not in the ratio of 1 : 1, but as a reaction accelerator. Both hydrochloric acid catalyst solutions, on the other hand, turned the treated paper brown and decreased its tensile strength. Especially, the decrease was quite significant when an excess amount of acid was used. The FT-IR spectra of the acid treated paper showed the absorption at 1720 cm−1 attributed to a carbonyl group resulting from the oxidation of cellulose, meaning that the cellulose molecules were decomposed by the acid, and this decomposition caused the decreased tensile strength. This result showed that the treatment solution consisting of hydrochloric acid could not be applied to paper due to its deterioration. On the other hand, the solution consisting of titanium butoxide could be successfully applied to it with a further improvement in its tensile strength.

This entry is from the Australian Dictionary of Biography
Douglas Gary Young (1933-1991), Aboriginal songwriter and singer, was born on 30 August 1933 at East Mitchell, Queensland, sixth child of Queensland-born parents Frank Young, white labourer, and his wife Olive Kathleen, née McCarthy, a Gurnu woman. His father was a pious Christian. Most of what is known about Dougie—or ‘Youngie Doug’ as he often styled himself, satirising the way the police entered names in charge books—comes from the songs he wrote. He rejected school and left early to become a stockman. This work took him away from home, and eventually to New South Wales.
In the early 1950s Young arrived at Wilcannia. On 11 December 1955 at St Therese’s Catholic Mission Church, he married Christina Johnson. A riding accident in 1957 put him in hospital in Adelaide for many months, and ended his career as a stockman. He turned his talents to singing and songwriting.
Wilcannia, then a town of some eight hundred residents—about half of whom were Aboriginal—was a lively community, with much music and much drinking. The law forbade most Aboriginal people to consume alcohol, but they obtained it anyway, and the police spent a great deal of time looking for Aboriginal drinkers and locking them up. These circumstances were the theme of Young's first composition, ‘Cut a Rug.’ ‘Pass Him the Flagon’ and ‘They Say It's a Crime’ followed about 1960. ‘Scobie's Dream’ and ‘Victor Podham and His Rusty Hut’ appeared by 1964. ‘Old Wilcannia Town,’ in which he whimsically imagined what would happen to the town if the Aboriginal people stopped drinking, came a year or two later. The early songs were about him and his male friends; he sang affectionately about them as well as for them. The chicken-stealing exploits of Frankie in ‘Frankie and Jonesy’ emulated those of a real-life Frankie. Women—unfaithful in ‘Wilcannia Song,’ and censorious in ‘Cut a Rug’—never attended the men’s drinking parties.
The compositions were often parodies of the songs of white country-and-western singers, but the message was always Aboriginal. Young communicated the experience of being Aboriginal in the days before land rights and civil rights. His drinking songs expressed defiance of a discriminatory law, mockery of pompous magistrates, the miseries of gaol, and scorn for whites who became rich (in his words in 'Old Wilcannia Town’) ‘supplying darkies with grog.’ As he said in one of the few explanations he offered, ‘It’s experience.’
Later songs, such as the classic ‘The Land Where the Crow Flies Backwards’ and ‘I Don't Want Your Money’ were political in the strict sense. ‘Half-Caste,’ a troubled and troubling song composed about 1966, examined the stereotypical idea of a person caught between two races. But ‘The Treaty’ (1979), his last song, resolved the problem, declaring: ‘There are many different colours now in the Aboriginal race.’
Young's early songs were transmitted by word of mouth among Aboriginal people. Some, quoted in a journal article (Beckett 1958, 38-40, 42), were taken up and reproduced in other books and articles. Young also became known to travelling country-and-western singers who performed at Wilcannia. On one occasion, his son Robert recalled, he stood in when Chad Morgan was indisposed. Athol McCoy bought and issued recordings of ‘Scobie's Dream (Hangover)’ and ‘The Land Where the Crow Flies Backwards’ and, as a consequence, Young derived little financial benefit from either song. Wattle Recordings produced in 1965 an extended-play vinyl disc of songs taped at Wilcannia the previous year. In the same year, folk singer Gary Shearston recorded ‘The Land Where the Crow Flies Backwards,’ the detailed sleeve-notes for the first time bringing Young’s name before a wider audience (Walker 2000, 94–95).
In 1967 Dougie and Chrissie’s marriage was breaking down, and one day he left without warning. He was seen at Bourke and he also spent some time at Balranald, adapting ‘Old Wilcannia (Balranald) Town’ for his friends there, and composing ‘Alf Kelly’ for the family with whom he lived. In 1979 he was in Sydney, giving the lie to a newspaper report that he was dead, and making his last recording—the only one in a studio.
By this time, Young was a sick man, and he was hospitalised in Melbourne for a lengthy period. He then lived quietly with a daughter at Newcastle, New South Wales. Shortly before his death, he was reunited with his other children at Wilcannia and travelled with them to see kinfolk at Cunnamulla, Queensland. He died of heart disease on 1 April 1991 at Wickham, Newcastle. His children arranged for him to be buried, following a Catholic service, at Wilcannia. In 1994 the National Library of Australia and the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies issued The Songs of Dougie Young, a recording on compact disc and audiocassette of all but one of his works, and an accompanying booklet with the lyrics of all of them.

This article is from today’s FT Opinion email. Sign up to receive a daily digest of the big issues straight to your inbox.
To mark the occasion of the European single currency’s 20th birthday, Martin Wolf devotes this week’s column to an assessment of how successful the eurozone has been— and how it might fare in the next two decades.
Its very survival is a success, as Martin points out, but he argues that it has endured “because the costs of break-up, or even departure by individual members, look terrifying” and because “in the depths of the crises, policymakers did enough to keep it alive.” Furthermore, the reactions to the debt crisis have inflicted “deep and enduring economic, social and political wounds on vulnerable countries.”
An astonishing three-quarters of people in eurozone countries support the single currency, however, and he concludes that it is doomed to survive. Even so, only substantial change will ensure its good health.
What you’ve been saying
When $10bn is ‘peanuts’ the metaphor is flawed, letter from Paddy Fletcher, London, UK
As Lex unpicks the share sale of AB InBev’s Asian operations ( January 11), I’m informed that a $10bn equity raise would amount to only “peanuts” in comparison with the $100bn debt load. At 10 per cent, I agree it is perhaps not the final answer, but surely higher than peanuts. Could we agree on a few more nut-sizing metaphors to bridge the gap? Perhaps peanuts (5 per cent), walnuts (around 50 per cent) and the full Brazilian of a 90 per cent solution.
In response to “ Brexiters’ delusions on trade die hard”, energy.org says:
If the UK did a free trade deal with China, what is left of its manufacturing industry would be decimated. China can make everything cheaper (including the cost of shipping to the UK) than anyone can do so here in the UK.
The place to solve Brexit is surely parliament, letter from Mark Solon, London, UK
The thought of a second referendum is very unappealing. As Winston Churchill said: “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” Parliament must come up with a solution.

Sundy Carter accused a man of drugging and sexually assaulting her and it looks like she’s on her way to getting justice in a court of law. The star of Basketball Wives accused Demetrius Green of egregious sexual misconduct, and the police arrested him on revenge porn charges.
In a report from The Blast, Carter filed a police report in August of this year with the LAPD, as well as with the police in Philadelphia, where he was subsequently arrested.
Green uploaded the video he filmed of their sexual interaction – without her consent – on social media. Police took him into custody on the 21st of September.
The authorities charged him with harassment, the distribution of a personal images, possession of an instrument of crime with intent to employ it criminally.
Mr. Green’s charges, however, are mere misdemeanors. Sources close to the reality star wholeheartedly believe that Sundy was assaulted, but the DA couldn’t find enough evidence to charge him with the crime.
They gave him a $2,500 bail and he was released shortly after his arrest. Carter isn’t the only woman to deal with this sort of harassment in recent years.
Mischa Barton, formerly the star of The OC, took her ex-boyfriend to court over revenge porn charges. The man in question secretly filmed their sexual encounter and the man shopped it around to local adult film studios.
Previously, Mischa stated that her friends informed her of what he was trying to do. Hollywood is a small place, and word gets around when someone is engaging in questionable behavior.
Another celebrity to deal with revenge porn is Blac Chyna, who took Rob Kardashian to court because he disseminated explicit images and videos of her on Instagram.

Body found of man who may have killed 3
SPOKANE — A body found just north of Spokane is that of a fugitive being sought in the killings of a woman and her two young sons.
Police found the body of Dustin W. Gilman, 22, on Monday morning in the Wandermere area north of Spokane. The medical examiner identified the body.
Authorities did not say how he died.
He was wanted in connection with Friday’s slayings of Tracy Ann Ader, 32, and her 8- and 10-year-old sons at their home, where he had been staying as a family friend. Mrs. Ader’s husband was in the hospital at the time with an unrelated illness.
The suspect spent nine months in prison in 2009 after he was convicted of two counts of second-degree trafficking in stolen property. The Aders had befriended him and he had moved in with the family, officials have said.
Challenge is heard to affirmative action ban
SAN FRANCISCO — Backers of affirmative action asked a federal appeals court Monday to overturn California’s 15-year-old ban on considering race in public college admissions, citing a steep drop in black, Latino and Native American students at the state’s elite campuses.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeal heard arguments in the latest legal challenge to Proposition 209, the landmark voter initiative that barred racial, ethnic and gender preferences in public education, employment and contracting.
The affirmative action ban has withstood numerous challenges since voters approved it in 1996, but advocates say their campaign to overturn it has been bolstered by recent court decisions, as well as support from Gov. Jerry Brown.
Dozens of minority students backing the plaintiffs filled the courtroom for the hour-long hearing, when the justices questioned whether they should tamper with a 1997 ruling in which the same appellate court upheld Proposition 209.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs said affirmative action is needed to increase racial diversity at the University of California’s most prestigious campuses and professional schools.

The suit describes two types of hazing that occurred before Champion died. During the first, pledges of a band clique known as “Bus C” run from the front to the back of the bus while other band members slap, kick and hit them, the lawsuit said. A pledge who falls can be stomped and dragged to the front of the bus to run again.
In another ritual known as “the hot seat,” a pillow case was placed over the pledge’s nose and mouth while the pledge was forced to answer questions. If a pledge got a right answer, the pillow case was removed briefly; a pledge with a wrong answer was given another question without a chance to take a breath, the lawsuit said.
A fellow pledge who was hazed with Champion said band members on the bus treated Champion more brutally than others, according to the lawsuit.
An attorney for the Champion family said he doesn’t know exactly why the victim was on the bus. Champion was a drum major, a leader in the band, and had been a vocal opponent of hazing, attorney Chris Chestnut said.
Champion endured blunt trauma blows and he died from shock caused by severe bleeding, authorities said. Detectives are investigating the death as a homicide.
$336.4M lottery ticket sold at supermarket
CRANSTON — The winning ticket in Saturday’s $336.4 million Powerball jackpot was sold at a Stop & Shop supermarket in Newport, but no one has come forward yet to claim the prize, Rhode Island lottery officials said Monday.
“It’s great for the industry, it’s great for Powerball and it’s great for Rhode Island,” said Gerald S. Aubin, director of the state’s lottery.
The lump sum cash payout will be $210 million, which is the highest ever for Powerball, officials said. The jackpot was the third-largest in Powerball history and the largest ever won in Rhode Island, officials said.
The jackpot is the sixth-largest in U.S. history, lottery spokeswoman Melissa Juhnowski said. The top jackpot was a $390 million Mega Millions prize won in March 2007, she said.
The winning numbers are 1-10-37-52-57, Powerball 11. The winning ticket was among three tickets with random numbers purchased on a $9 wager, officials said.
Man pleads not guilty in theft of Frost items
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — A Vermont man pleaded not guilty Monday to a charge that he stole a number of original cards and letters written by poet Robert Frost that were in the drawer of a desk that was donated to the nonprofit agency where he worked and then sold them for more than $25,000 in cash and other goods.
Timothy Bernaby, 42, was arrested Friday after being spotted by law enforcement officers while in the White River Junction courthouse on an unrelated matter. He is free on $5,000 bail and declined comment as he left the courthouse Monday.
An expert on Frost from Dartmouth College in nearby Hanover, N.H., told police the documents, which include 13 Christmas poems by Frost and a letter to an employee of Dartmouth, estimated they would not be worth more than $2,600.
The documents remain in the possession of the person who purchased them allegedly from Mr. Bernaby, said Windsor County State’s Attorney Robert Sand.
“Police are in contact with the person who has the documents,” Mr. Sand said. “The purchaser declined to produce them having spent a fair amount of money to acquire them and was reluctant to turn them over to the police until he was compensated for the purchase price.”
Mr. Sand said the original owner of the documents does want them back.

Maker Studios to Debut Bart Baker-Hosted Clips Show Across Screens
Maker Studios is launching a new series called “CrashPad,” a digital “Tosh.0” starring YouTube comedian Bart Baker.
Premiering Friday, December 5, the series is part clip show, part talk show, and part game show, according to the MCN. It will feature commentary around the most popular clips on the web, and feature appearances from a wide range of online talent including Amy Pham, Iman “AlphaCat” Crosson, Ed Bassmaster, Sam Macaroni, Timothy DeLaGhetto, Shane Dawson, DeStorm, King Bach, and Jesse Wellens of Prank vs. Prank.
Clips featured on the show will be provided by Jukin Media, which Maker Studios is an investor in. The two companies also have a deal in place to develop new show formats based on Jukin’s library of viral web clips.
Co-produced by Maker Studios and Drama 3/4, “CrashPad” will be available across multiple screens. The show will air weekly on Music Choice, a US-based VOD provider that reaches 57 million homes. It will also be available on Music Choice’s digital service Music Choice Play, as well as Maker’s own Maker.tv.
But that’s just one version of “CrashPad.” A shorter version, running for 4 minutes instead of 11, will air on Baker’s YouTube channel, which has more than 4.5 million subscribers.
Music Choice only has US rights to the show, so it’s possible that Maker shops the show to distributors internationally, though the company makes no indication of that in the announcement.
Earlier this year, Maker cut a deal with Music Choice to bring more than 500 hours of content to the VOD service. This included a month-long “music takeover” of Bart Baker, whose parody music videos aired on Music Choice as part of a “Bart Baker’s Funniest Videos” special.
Music Choice is a joint venture between Comcast, Fox, Time Warner Cable, Microsoft, Motorola, Sony, and EMI Music. The earlier deal with Maker was its first with a digital content provider.Tags: Bart Baker, comedy, Drama 3/4, Jukin Media, maker studios, MCN, music, music choice, YouTube Creators


Silicon Integrated Systems, a third-party chipset developer based in Taipei, Taiwan, has not introduced a single new core-logic set for more than a year now and many believe that the company is about to quit from the PC chipset business. Despite of the lack of any new offerings, SiS claims that it will concentrate on I/O controllers and will continue to ship products based on demand from its customers.
SiS has not introduced advanced or even mainstream chipsets for AMD Phenom processors or Intel Core 2 chips that feature 1333MHz processor system bus despite of the fact that the company has all appropriate licenses. To make the matters worse, the company has lost a massive chunk of the market to companies like Advanced Micro Devices, Intel Corp. and Nvidia Corp.
According to some reports, SiS “switched profession to TV chips” from PC chipsets sometimes back in Q1 2008, which explains the lack of new core-logic sets from the company. However, some other reports from Taiwan, quoted Silicon Integrated Systems as indicating that it will keep “shipping its PC chipsets products based on client demand with availability extending until 2011” and that the company “will turn its focus” to the development of I/O controllers, which are also known as south bridges, since there will be no need for graphics and memory controller hubs (GMCHs, or north bridges) once both Intel and AMD have memory controllers as well as graphics cores inside processors.
Various chips from SiS still power inexpensive embedded solutions as well as cheap notebooks from various manufacturers. However, with no new offerings from SiS, mainboard manufacturers will inevitably shift focus to chipsets from other companies.
Obviously, SiS will continue to supply its chipsets until there is demand, just like Via Technologies still ships some of its products to interested parties. But without any new core-logic sets or concrete roadmaps, the days of SiS chipsets are likely to be counted.


The Thin Blue Line
A truly pioneering film, Morriss breakthrough changed the world of documentary forever. Through expressionistic reenactments, provocative interviews and a memorable score by Philip Glass, it tells the fascinating, controversial true story of the arrest and trial of Randall Adams for the murder of a Dallas policeman in 1976and the film itself proved instrumental in overturning Adamss death-row conviction. Endlessly influential, the first movie mystery to actually solve a murder remains as surprising, entertaining and fresh as ever.
"The use of this footage is repetitive and rhythmic, and underlined by the cold, frightening original music score by Philip Glass. The result is a movie that is documentary and drama, investigation and reverie, a meditation on the fact that Adams was plucked from the center of his life and locked up forever for a crime that no reasonable person could seriously believe he committed."

Biodiversity Conservation can be a more holistic way to care for the biological variety in the planet and guarding existence styles
As a way to preserve 18, we must embrace biology definition of its links and domain plan to ecosystems.
Will there be a relationship between your biological evolution and the eco systems that support it? It’s not, although there is surely click resources a connection between the two. That was definitely an unspoken consensus among www.wikiwand.com biologists the biological evolution could be caused by development. The theory of evolution is centered by what adjustments are created by living organisms with their genes and the manner that results in a change in the gene pool.
Is there anything new about the biological development? No, there is absolutely no awareness that’ll result in its own satisfaction. As the notion of development by means of natural choice is supported by experiments and observations. It’s important to create the differentiation between the biological development and also the evolutionary theory. We’d need to permit the states and organisms to evolve over time at the lack of any facets, if we had to utilize the theory.
Ecology is concerned about the connections between organisms and their own environment. The environmentthe exact very same amount of the reproduction of the organism’s capacity and also foodstuff items are typical factors in the ecology of the ecosystem. It is going to cause issues for the role of the eco system, if the diversity is currently lacking.
On the extent that the biological evolution does occur, it is on the basis of whether or not there was an level of disturbance for the ecosystem. The ecosystem has to become ready to adapt to environmental change, and that could occur as a result of development through natural choice the procedures of evolution, or all-natural alternative by changing levels of biodiversity. But again, the inquiry is if it happens around the grounds of development or simply through theory.
Character is never in the isalways and rest creating daily existence. It’s crucial to recognize the fact that nature is not likely to repeat its motion, and that there’s no such thing as a stationary ecosystem. The idea of evolution by natural selection doesn’t enable the biking of life or species cycles, but alternatively could last until a environment forces it to cease.
The evolution can be understood because the assortment and the existence of writing helper the conditions could be due to variation in the populace of also the surroundings as well as the organisms. The organism’s capacity to accommodate to these varies, After the terms change. This explains why humans will proceed from having an animal to become an immortal becoming after experiencing change.
Biological evolution has been shown to exist around the basis of experiments and visible facts that have been conducted on earth. When placing forth a conservation program, we must get the biological development.

“The problems associate to climate changes will not only causing serious damages to the company but us...” says Jack Zhan, the CEO of 123InkCartridges.ca
Montreal, Quebec (PRWEB) July 29, 2011
The irresistible hot temperature during the past weeks has become one of the hottest topics on news, not only does such issue potentially leads to social-economical crisis, it also triggers eminent hazards that eventually turns to global warming. In response to such global crisis, a Canadian company 123InkCartridges.ca has decided to take the lead to fight against global warming. On July 28, 2011, the company announced that their next move will be adopting more green technologies in the working environment. In the mean time, they will offer more eco-friendly products to the public. The company believes that being responsible to earth will be their priority in consider to company’s growth.
According to PwC’s report, three aspects of a company – emission, energy efficiency and climate change – contribute to a company’s success by 14%, 12% and 12%, respectively. Taking this information seriously, 123inkcartridges tackles global warming by means of offering re-manufactured (i.e., recycled and refilled) ink cartridges and toners supplies. Not only does re-manufactured products lower the production cost, it also reduces the amount of plastic consumption, a significant source of pollution. In addition to this measure, 123inkcartridges.ca sells products with ISO eco-friendly certification - electronic items that they offered are both highly recyclable and energy-saving.
“The problems associate to climate changes will not only causing serious damages to the company but us...” says Jack Zhan, the CEO of 123InkCartridges.ca, who believes that many firms have failed to be responsible to the society by taking global warming into concern. As the result, more and more hazardous materials have been dumped into the market regardless how harmful they are. “Immoral practices should be eventually sanction or punish by individuals...” commented by an insider. The company is expecting more feedback and partners to be joined in order to fight against global warming.
Since established in 2007, 123inkcartridges.ca has quickly become one of most popular online sources for printer ink & toner cartridges, HDMI cables, iPhone Accessories and iPad Accessories in Canada. The company's headquarters is located in Montreal, Quebec and has warehouses in both Montreal and Vancouver that ship all over Canada and the United States.

The Z06's LS7 weighs in @ 458 pounds, the LS3 is 415 pounds. Both of these engines are dated and the 5.5L is already in use in the Corvette GT2 race car. That is a pretty good indication that it will be hitting the streets in the Corvette. I can't see it being over 350 pounds. That is 1/5 the weight the car needs to loose, and a good chunk off the front end.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Bristol-Myers Squibb gained Tuesday as the drugmaker affirmed its profit goal for the year and as its first-quarter earnings topped analysts' consensus expectations.
Quarterly sales rose to $4.71 billion from $4.66 billion, Bristol-Myers said.
Bristol-Myers saw its shares climb 42 cents to $24.75 in early dealings.
The pharmaceutical company has been struggling for more than a year with numerous problems, ranging from accounting troubles and competition from rivals specializing in generic versions of pharmaceuticals.
Indeed, generic competition continued to take a toll in the first quarter, affecting U.S. sales of anti-cancer drug Taxol and diabetes therapy Glucophage IR.
Bristol-Myers also reported sales of Plavix, used to prevent blood clotting, fell 11 percent from the prior year. The company attributed the decline to wholesaler stocking at the end of 2002.
Other drugs, however, saw sizable sales increases, with cholesterol-lowering Pravachol jumping 13 percent to $613 million and Avapro, a medication for treating high blood pressure, rising 26 percent to $175 million.
"Overall, we are pleased with our company's performance," CEO Peter Dolan said in a statement.
Bristol-Myers reiterated that it expects to earn $1.60 to $1.65 per share this year. Analysts expect $1.59 per share, according to Reuters Research.
The New York-based company earned $1.04 a share in 2002.

After his shift at B&B, Dex rode the train home. Before he even reached the sidewalk in front of Barrett and Brar’s fifty-storey building, he was logged into M City, headed for Three Card Monte’s bar. Monte’s was in a seedy part of Marionette City, the virtual world that was becoming more and more the social hub for most people. Dex liked the virtual neighbourhood; it was dark, a little gloomy and nothing like the rest of Marionette City, with its bright, shiny animations and impossible designs.
Annabelle Lewis was waiting for him when his avatar walked into the bar. Unlike many people, Dex chose his avatar to look pretty similar to that way he looked in the physical world. He didn’t own an antique charcoal three piece suit like the one he wore in M City and he didn’t think you could even buy hats like the one his avatar always had pulled low over his eyes, but otherwise it was just him. Annabelle noticed him arrive and waved from a table in a dark corner of the bar.
Dex knew that her avatar was a pretty faithful representation of her real physical body, too, but he also knew that it hadn’t always been that way. She had visited Dex previously, but on his first trip to see her he’d had quite a surprise when he arrived. He discovered that she had, as she put it, simply had her physical body adjusted to conform to the image she had of herself. Dex wondered if it was really just a coincidence that she’d finally decided to get the work done just before he visited for the first time, but it had never come up in the week he spent in her spacious flat in Nice. He wasn’t sure he ever wanted to have that conversation.
He had to admit that Annabelle was beautiful. She had the same slim body that most people wore, thanks to the powerful engineering in the ubiquitous food bricks and tonics everyone but the very rich and very poor lived off. Dex was impressed with the work she’d had done, but it was her eyes that really drew Dex in to her and they hadn’t changed at all. He wondered how much she had paid some designer for her avatar, since even in M City they danced with the same sense of humour and joie de vivre he saw in the baby blues she wore on the streets. Dex approached the table and found that his day turned around at the sight of Annabelle. He couldn’t help smiling, both with his body and his avatar. He half-watched half-felt himself embrace Annabelle and felt a frisson of revulsion at the strangeness of the virtual experience.
He hoped that his reaction hadn’t been translated into his hug by the complex programming that controlled avatars in the virtual world and reminded himself that he had been getting much better at ignoring those feelings. He pulled back and smiled at Annabelle, who grinned at him. “Nice hat,” she said, her eyes dropping to the dark felt in Dex’s right hand.
“It’s the same one as always, kiddo,” Dex said.
“I know,” Annabelle answered, sitting back down. “It’s still nice.”

good beans to plant for fall harvest?
Hello all. I'm pretty new to vegetable gardening. In the past I've had tomatoes and peppers in pots, and last year and this year I've added cukes, squash, dragon tongue beans, and some herbs. I planted the beans only because my kids found some that I'd saved from years ago when I worked on a csa -- to my surprise, 4 out of the 9 that we planted sprouted and are now growing nicely. I don't know if we'll get a harvest or not, but I thought it'd be fun to try planting some more beans for a fall crop. I'm especially fond of eating fresh limas and fresh favas, but am open to anything really. I'd appreciate any advice on what might be a good bean to plant in zone 7 (Baltimore City to be exact) for a fall crop, and also the best time to plant it -- any ideas? Thanks very much!

INTERIOR Minister Robert Kaliňák has introduced a new law to protect whistleblowers. The bill is broader than previous proposals since it does not pertain only to corruption, but also suggests a financial reward for people who report corrupt behaviour.
“We consulted with Transparency International over this law,” Kaliňák said, as quoted by the TASR newswire. “We had to fundamentally extend what we want to protect and how we want to protect such reports.”
The new law, among other things, defines antisocial activities as applied to certain offenses by public officials, corruption, detrimental to the EU financial interests, as well as crimes resulting in the lower limit of three years' imprisonment and for administrative offenses that can be fined with up to €50,000, TASR reported.
The whistleblower, after reporting about antisocial activities, will be entitled to ask for protection. The court or prosecutor will subsequently issue a decision after evaluating whether the reported facts are relevant and important. If granted protection, the whistleblower will be under the supervision of the labour inspectorate, which would have to agree with any change in employer-employee relations proposed by whistleblower’s employers. The measure is to prevent whistleblowers from being punished with salary cuts or termination notices, as reported by the SITA newswire.
The law should also prevent the possible abuse of the protection by employees who would attempt to use it to avoid punishment for personal failure at work, Kaliňák said, as reported by SITA.
In addition to this, every public body employing more than 50 people will have to establish their own internal system of dealing with reports of corruption. The law also proposes rewards for whistleblowers, whose upper limit is set to 50 times the minimum wage, SITA wrote.
According to Pavel Nechala from Transparency International, such rewards are commonly used abroad. The most effective system was implemented in the US during the Civil War in 19th century, he added, as reported by the Sme daily.
If cleared by parliament, the law would come into force in November.

Over the years, Kenya has proven beyond reasonable doubt that it is not only a force in athletics, but it is also a volleyball nation.
For instance, the national women’s volleyball team Malkia Strikers boasts of nine African Nations Cup titles, a record in the continent.
However, it is the women’s team that raises Kenyan flag higher globally as their male counterparts, Wafalme Stars struggle to showcase their prowess even though they tried punching above their weight this year.
Malkia Strikers rose to the occasion once again in 2021 to give the nation something to smile about and hope of future glory.
After a promising show at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympic games in August, Malkia Strikers saved Kenya the disappointment of not winning a single set in Japan by qualifying for the for the FIVB 2022 World Championships.
The East African queens were knocked out of the Olympics in the group stage after falling to hosts Japan, South Korea and Dominican Republic despite pushing the volleyball powerhouses all the way.
Many had questioned the team set up and doubted if coach Paul Bitok will deliver after the technical bench made of Brazil coaches left after the Olympics, but they would be forced to swallow their words in September.
Kenya, who are the record African champions with nine titles, were seeking to dethrone Cameroon who beat them 3-2 in the 2019 final in Cairo, Egypt when they headed to Rwanda for the 2021 African Nations Women’s Volleyball Championships finals.
Kenya were pooled in Group B against defending champions Cameroon, former champions Tunisia, Burundi and DRC Congo.
Bitok took a fresh team team which saw the inclusion of three new players including Kenya Pipeline duo of Esther Mutinda and Sinaida Yvonne as well as Veronica Adhiambo of Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
Other players included captain Mercy Moim, Joy Lusenaka, Edith Wisa, Lorine Chebet, Gladys Ekaru, Leonida Kasaya, Pamela Masaisai, Sharon Chepchumba, Emmaculate Chemtai, Aggripina Kundu
Kenya would go on to overcome a poor start in the event after going down 3-0 (25-20, 25-21,25-19) to rivals Cameroon to thrash Democratic Republic of Congo and Tunisia in straight sets of (25-11, 25-12. 25-19) and (25-20, 25-19, 25-21).
Malkia Strikers proceeded to book a slot to the 2022 FIVB World Championships by edging out Morocco 3-0 in the semi-finals.
Kenya spiked Morocco in straight sets of 25-12, 25-21 and 25-11, to qualify for the finals.
The two finalists in the continental showpiece earn an automatic ticket to the world games set for Poland and Netherlands in August, next year.
Kenya will be joined by defending champions Cameroon in the global volleyball games after they knocked out Nigeria in straight sets in the second semifinals.
Seeking a 10th African title, Kenya renewed their rivalry with Cameroon in the finals which did not go to plan.
Kenya will have to wait for another two years to reclaim their lost glory after Malkia Strikers lost 3-1 to Cameroon in the finals.
Cameroon women’s volleyball team completed a double over Kenya in a 3-1 win (25-21, 25-23,15-25 and 25-23) to retain the African women’s volleyball title.
Elsewhere it was mixed fortunes for the national men team Wafalme Stars.
Wafalme finished the 2021 Africa Nations Volleyball Championships in ninth position in the volleyball tournament in Kigali, Rwanda.
Kenya however ended their campaign on a high note after thrashing Mali in straight sets in a classification tie to finish ninth out of the 16 teams that featured.
Wafalme dominated the ranking tie before easing to victory easily in sets of 25-21, 25-21 and 25-16.
Wafalme won five out of six matches against Egypt, Tanzania, Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali.
After kicking off the continental volleyball tournament on a brighter note that saw them fight from a set down to shock tournament favourites Egypt 3-2 (19-25, 25-22, 25-20, 18-25, 15-12), Kenya were a pale shadow of themselves in the second match against Morocco.
Wafalme Stars suffered their first loss at the hands of leaders Morocco who also came from a set down to win 3-1 (25-19, 21-25, 17-25, 21-25) and taking their tally to six points which handed them a slot in the quarter-finals.
Kenya had two points and needed to defeat Tanzania to stand a chance of going through to the quarter-finals which they did courtesy of a 3-0 (25-0, 25-0, 25-0) walkover after the neighbours failed to show up.
However, Wafalme Strikers fate lied on their tormentors Morocco who had to defeat Egypt by any means for Kenya to go through to the quarter-finals.
Kenya’s prayers went unanswered as Egypt fought hard to floor Morocco, ending Kenya’s journey at the Kigali tournament.
Nevertheless, Wafalme Stars have all reasons to smile as they come out of the tournament with one of the biggest wins in their history which came at the group stage when they slayed the Egyptians.
In beach volleyball, Kenya has shown that it is quickly becoming a beach volleyball nation.
The national women beach team spiked her way to the world map after making history when it qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
The pair of Gaudencia Makokha and Brackcides Agala saw off Nigeria Two team 2-1 after coming from a set down at the African final qualifiers in Morocco
Despite losing the opening set 17-21, the duo won the subsequent sets 21-18 and 15-10 to topple the West African giants.
Phosca Kaisi and Yvonne Wavinya were also in their best element, flooring their opponents 2-0 (21-17, 21-10) as Kenya qualified to the global show for the first time ever.
As the Kenyan ladies had their fair share of success, the men team also performed well after settling for the sixth position at the qualifiers won by Morocco who defeated Mozambique to book their place at the Olympics.
At the Olympics, Kenya which was represented by Makokha and Agala was paired together with star-studded Brazil, USA and Latvia in group D.
Kenya lost all her matches with three points but the pair coached by Sammy Mulinge took every game as valuable experience and learning lessons.
Captain Makokha said they showed a lot of fighting spirit despite playing the world best teams.

Family Tension Over Vaccines; Filipino Renaissance Man: Martin Nievera; Nani Hale Strike; Jazz Guitar Legend Stanley Jordan
Raising a child is full of decisions and parents are often told there’s no right way that’s perfect for every family. Except perhaps when it comes to vaccinations. Most families are told by their doctors when their children need their shots and they comply. But over the past several decades, a vocal minority has continued to say that children should be not vaccinated as it believes the there is a direct link from the shots to the onset of autism in otherwise previously healthy babies. That’s the perspective of VAXXED, a new film out now in theaters. And after Dr. Reena Shah’s husband and his mother saw the film, he told her he didn’t want their daughter vaccinated and now their family is split.

LOGÍSTICA PROFESIONAL · Mahou’s Miguel Ángel Miguel: “Digital transformation must generate business. It can’t be undertaken just because it is in fashion.”
In a roundtable, “Improving Customer Experience in E-commerce Through Supply Chain,” Dimas Gimeno explains that “brick-and-mortar retailers often undervalue deliveries because they view the physical store as the center of everything, and don’t focus on delivery, but logistics is also how the product arrives. Moreover, our children assume it perfectly normal to purchase something in a store and have it delivered to their door. It’s a huge change.”

Elizabeth Bishop's poems were always admired for the purity and precision of her descriptions, and now readers have come to see how, even in her early poems, the attention to external detail reveals an internal emotional realm. Bishop's early works use surrealism and imagism to create a new reality in which she minimizes the reference to self in poetry, but her later poems become more autobiographical and more concerned with a quest for personal identity.
Hear Bishop describe an "egg of fire" disrupting ancient owls, a glistening armadillo, and a baby rabbit in "The Armadillo" at the Academy of American Poets' Bishop site. An essay/exhibit, "Life Studies: American Poetry from T. S. Eliot to Allen Ginsberg," explains why Bishop is considered "one of our most abundant poets."
Read papers on Bishop's artistic influences, her search for an "earthly paradise," her political concerns, and other topics at this Vassar College site. The site also contains a brief biography, a thorough bibliography, an essay on Bishop, a register of Bishop papers at Vassar, and information about two Elizabeth Bishop societies.


A team of addiction counsellors working in the inpatient substance use and concurrent disorders program at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre has received layoff notices, according to the Ontario Public Service Employees Union.
The labour group says the move affects five full-time and two part-time unionized employees, as well as seven casual staff members.
A spokesperson for the Royal Ottawa says the move is part of a program revamp that will provide specialized services to those individuals who have severe and complex concurrent disorders, such as substance abuse and mental illness.
Nicole Loreto, the Royal’s vice-president of communications, said the health care facility will be hiring several psychologists, social workers and nurses to support the shift and that the employees whose positions are being eliminated may find other positions at the organization.
“We believe that affected employees could be accommodated in other programs of The Royal, or leave through early retirement once the union-bumping process is finalized.”
The number of patient treatment beds will be unaffected, she added.

Cape Town – South African socialite Sbahle Mpisane has finally opened up about her car accident that took place three years ago.
According to Drum, Sbahle spent three months in intensive care after she was severely injured when her blue BMW 4 series collided with a tree in 2018.
She had amnesia after a head injury and couldn’t walk as both her legs were broken.
The socialite never spoke about the incident until recently, when she decided to launch her own YouTube channel, Sbahle’s visual book, in which she intends to give her viewers an inside look at every aspect of her personal life.
In the first episode, Sbahle met with YouTuber Owamie Netshivhazwaulu and discussed the incident.
She revealed that the accident occurred on her way home from a night out with a friend. Sbahle also said that she was in the accident with a friend and that the friend was to blame for the accident.
“There was a car I was protecting myself from, and the person was coming out in full speed towards my car. As I was driving, I happened to drive fast but, I was being stupid because while driving fast focusing on the road, I decided to shout in the car. I happened to knock the side of the road which made me knock my head and I passed out with the full accelerator. I hit the robot and went straight to the tree,” said Sbahle.
“I won’t say there was no alcohol involved, because I was out. But I don’t drink to get drunk, obviously. I was fine but it was a whole situation that no one knows that got me into the car accident and only I know what happened. The only people who can speak are me and someone else,” she added.

On this day in 1962, two Jazz greats went into Rudy Van Gelder's Hackensack studio to record their album, simply titled "Duke Ellington & John Coltrane".
The 63-year-old Ellington was a legend, and Coltrane, at a mere 36, was becoming one of the biggest and brightest young stars in the Jazz world.
In the LP's notes, Coltrane wrote that he was honored to have the opportunity to work with Duke, musing that Ellington "has set standards I haven’t caught up with yet."
Here's a video clip of the two performing "In A Sentimental Mood".

A casualty of a weakened economy that has seen consumers grappling with higher grocery and gasoline costs, goody’s plans to close almost a quarter of its 355 stores in the south and midwest by the end of the year, as well as an arkansas distribution center and a new york office.District court in delaware where the company is incorporated, will mark ralph lauren polo uomo a fresh start for the discount apparel retail chain that will become a smaller but more stable company, ceo paul white said. Chapter 11 protection allows a company to continue to operate and maintain business as usual while it develops a plan to restructure its debt and reorganize its operations. “While goody’s has a very successful 55 year heritage and we serve an important market niche, we have recently faced considerable challenges,”White said in a statement. “Having been in retail for over 30 years, i am excited by the potential at goody’s and believe that by taking the right actions now, this business can move forward efficiently. ” In an open letter to customers on the company’s web site, white emphasized the company was not closing or liquidating but rather starting a process that would allow goody’s to”Emerge a strong company better positioned to reach our full potential. ” “It is important for you to understand that goody’s is not going out of business.While we expect the majority of our stores will remain open and will continue to operate without interruption, we plan to close some locations over the coming weeks,”White said. Goody’s bankruptcy follows a chapter 11 filing last month by bedding and home furnishing retailer linen n’ things, whose parent company apollo took it private in 2006 for $1.3 billion.In february, electronics gadgets retailer sharper image filed for reorganization under chapter 11. Since the $327 million sale of the company to majority owner prentice capital management from the founding goodfriend family, the retailer of moderately priced apparel has been undergoing an organizational restructuring to become more cost effective and to help it achieve ralph lauren polo shirts 2008 financial goals. The company’s top executives were optimistic about a turnaround and there was even talk of becoming a publicly traded company again.Last fall, goody’s introduced an exclusive celebrity clothing line from ashley judd, with plans to cheap christian louboutin australia add oshkosh and carter’s to its children’s brands, as well as ralph lauren’s chaps this year. Sales in 2006 were $1.4 billion but the company has struggled with sales declines in recent months.The company laid off 5 percent of employees at its knoxville headquarters in late january and ceo charles turlinski resigned after a year on the job. The company said monday that it had identified 69 stores to shutter but it wasn’t clear how many of its 10, 000 employees would be affected.Goody’s stores typically employ between 20 and 30 people. “The decision to close a large number of stores and further consolidate operations was a difficult one and we regret the impact that this will have on some of our employees.However, we believe these are necessary steps as we work to improve the business and return to profitability,”White said. It only makes sense for a cash strapped company to take a look at closing stores, restructuring its staff and evaluating its inventory mix, said cole piper, executive in residence for the retail and consumer science department at the university of tennessee. Retail industry is tough even when the economy is good, said piper, who retired from proffitt’s in 1999 after 30 years with the department store chain. A financially troubled company can sometimes”Sell your way out of a problem,”But piper said when people are looking at $4 a gallon for gas the situation is compounded. “Consumer confidence is not that strong right now.Unfortunately, retail, in a lot of cases, is not in that discretionary mix,”He said. Despite the highly competitive retail landscape with stores like kohl’s, target and wal mart, piper said he expected goody’s to recover because it will be more focused. That’s one reason, he said, none of the stores in knoxville have been targeted for closure. “The company was started here and its customers know goody’s.They want to protect that base,”He said. A total of 103 stores, including the 69 targeted as part of the reorganization, were operating at a loss and will close by the end of the year.Goody’s said many of them were not well aligned with its business strategy because they were too large and not in its targeted small to midsize markets.

At the strib, kim mcguire and steve brandt file on the new standings, saying: “There could be some surprises in the new ratings.Some schools that performed poorly enough to win federal school improvement grants will do better when more factors are considered, kramer said.Meanwhile, wealthier schools that traditionally post high test scores may not look as good on the comparison of how much improvement their students are making year to year, said david heistad, research director for minneapolis schools.’There are some schools we’re seeing in the data that are going to be pretty alarmed, ‘ Kramer said, referring to some high testing schools that score low on the added measures.Minneapolis research specialist chris moore said that the old method of rating school performance mainly on test scores created a focus on ‘bubble kids, ‘ those just above or below testing proficient.But measuring growth makes every student’s progress count more, he said. ”

Hier is een interessante, nieuwe, robotische doktersassistente: Het ARTAS™ Systeem. De Amerikaanse FDA gaf het systeem recent vrij om te gaan gebruiken (lees meer). Volgens het bedrijf dat de robot uitvond en produceert, Restoration Robotics, helpt ARTAS bij iets dat ‘hair follicle harvesting’ heet, ‘het oogsten van
haarfollikels’.De procedure is als volgt. De client neemt plaats op de Artas stoel waarna eerst zijn haar wordt gemillimeterd. Vervolgens worden met behulp van een robotische arm, die onder andere is voorzien van een camera, kleine dermal punches uitgevoerd waarbij individuele haarfollikels worden geoogst. Dit gebeurt onder controle van een dokter. De haarfollikels worden later handmatig getransplanteerd, waarna ze weer nieuwe haren zullen gaan produceren op een eerst kale plek. Hier is een paper (PDF) in de Dermatology Times waarin de resultaten van tests met een prototype worden gerapporteerd. Blijkbaar waren na de procedure geen hechtingen of verbanden nodig, is het minder invasief en levert het gebruik van ARTAS tijdwinst op ten opzichte van andere haartransplantatietechnieken, zoals strip harvesting waar een strook met haar getransplanteerd wordt naar een kale plek. (Hoewel dit vergelijk eigenlijk appels met peren vergelijken is. Een vergelijk tussen ARTAS en andere methodes waarbij individuele haarfollikels getransplanteerd worden is relevanter, zie bijvoorbeeld hier of hier). Het bedrijf verwacht snelheden te kunnen Jeux d’eau gaan halen van 750 tot 1.000 folliculaire eenheden per uur.
