This photo was made by the InSight probe after successful landing on the surface of Mars. The mission statements at the jet propulsion Laboratory , NASA received a signal from the lander InSight that he sat on the surface of Mars. In the next few hours, engineers will specify how the spacecraft feels. While it is possible to tell unequivocally: the landing went as well as planned.
InSight pierced the Martian atmosphere at speeds 20 to 600 miles per hour and slowed to 12 miles per hour. In less than seven minutes. InSight technology has been used a landing involved in the successful Phoenix mission in 2008. First, to slow down used the parachute, and then activated the engines 12 and the probe gently down on three legs. A brief chronicle of the “seven minutes of terror” can be found here.
Began a two-year mission, InSight. During these two years the probe will try to run at least a minimum of scientific problems including the study of mineral resources and possible tectonic activity on Mars.
Six months of flight and seven minutes of terror
After six and a half months of traveling through space, InSight pierced the atmosphere of Mars. Then within seven minutes he managed to slow down from almost 20,000 miles per hour to 9 miles per hour, and then he touched the surface.
As we learned about the successful landing of the probe? Watched two tiny spacecraft. They are called satellites and MarCO was launched in may along with InSight. This modified “they were launched,” the tiny 10-inch satellite cubes.
When “insight” was on the surface, the module sends a signal to the Ground, telling about the successful arrival. Seven minutes later, the spacecraft used an even more powerful transmitter to send the signal more and tell NASA about your condition.
InSight sat down on the surface of Mars. What will happen to him next?
After confirming a successful landing, as we have said, to begin a serious scientific mission module. Being on the surface of Mars, InSight will stay in the stillness, so will be able to measure tiny fluctuations in the planet marzorati, catching the sound waves of these events to understand what is in the depths of Mars. Over the next two to three months InSight uses the robotic arm to deploy two of its main instruments: seismometer and samozaryadnyj nail. The seismometer will listen to the earthquake, and the nail will try to drill almost five meters of the surface of Mars to measure the internal temperature of the planet.

Square Enix will be lifting the lid off its upcoming Marvel’s Avengers video game at E3 2019 but a load of information has already come to light before the official reveal.
According to the E3 Coliseum site, details of the game were put up a little too early. The details confirm character customization, single player, co-op activities and more.
[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”#FFB800″ class=”” size=”19″]”Embrace your powers and join key members of the development team at Crystal Dynamics and the creative team at Marvel Games as they talk exclusively about the upcoming Marvel’s Avengers.

Moderated by Andrea Rene, assemble in teams up to four players, master extraordinary abilities, customize your heroes to fit your playstyle, and combine powers to defend an ever-expanding world under constant threat.”[/perfectpullquote]
The description has since been changed to “Join Crystal Dynamics and Marvel Games for a Panel about Marvel’s The Avengers”.
It has been over a year since the official reveal of the Marvel’s Avengers game which was first titled “The Avengers Project”. The game is being developed by Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics and Deus Ex studio Eidos Montreal. According to the original teaser, the game’s story will focus on the Avengers reassembling after the time of heroes has long passed.
We will share with you during E3 2019 where we plan on seeing the game in action.

I’m dressing up for my first career fair. I pull out my limited business professional clothing and lay it on my twin extra-long dorm bed: a blazer, a standard button down, a skirt, and a pair of slacks. My eyes scan back and forth as I contemplate which outfit will leave the best impression. I focus in on the slacks and think to myself, “the pants will make me look more like a business man.”
I begin to try them on without hesitation, until my body comes to a sudden stop. An overwhelming number of thoughts stir in my mind. My thought process is wrong; there is something deeply ingrained and harmful. I take a step back and think about the root of my own unconscious bias. I am and always have been an advocate of feminism. I am a believer in my own power as a woman. So where does this thought about the pants come from?
After contemplating the situation a little more, I realize that I had never truly seen female leadership modeled in a corporate workplace. I believed that being successful in business as a woman meant acting like a man. I have since come to realize how harmful this belief is in perpetuating gender stereotypes. I may have been simply picking out a pair of slacks, but those slacks disproportionately influenced my perspective on my identity and values as a leader.
Femininity can be expressed in many ways. Wearing a pair of slacks does not make me any less feminine.
Femininity can be expressed in many ways. Wearing a pair of slacks does not make me any less feminine. However, not wearing a skirt for the sake of portraying myself differently is not as straightforward as it sounds. In fact, it is a huge problem that exists in our minds, in our workplace, and in our world.
In the workplace, it is easy to feel like we are just a standard, uniform cog in the machine. However, this is far from the truth. While it is true that we all contribute through the work we produce, it is also true that our greatest superpower is our authentic identity. Our identity is what makes us human. It defines who we are and where we come from. The myriad nuanced differences that meld together to shape our unique identity are what give us our power and define our voice.
The myriad nuanced differences that meld together to shape our unique identity are what give us our power and define our voice.
We all have a story. Our story is informed by our identity. Our identity is shaped by the way we look, the way we speak, the way we dress, and so much more. When we repress details of our identity, our full story can never be shared. Our intricacies should never be hidden because they are what give us our own competitive advantage. Companies are successful because individuals share their perspectives, challenge the norm, and exploit that competitive advantage. It is not the headcount that makes a business successful, it is the people. Therefore, it is imperative that we embrace our authentic identities because they truly add value to the world.
This value is demonstrated in many different areas, but it is the most useful through leadership. Leadership has evolved so much over the last few years as a result of different identities and voices emerging into positions of power. For example, empathy is a leadership characteristic that has recently gained a lot of respect in the workplace, even though it is not traditionally seen as a “masculine” trait. With these changes comes immense opportunities for individuals to test the waters and be open to the power of their own leadership style – leadership that is informed by one’s gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, culture, and ethnicity; leadership that is boundless and liberating.
It is time that we see our identities as assets to our success rather than detriments.
Work is a place where you can be a part of something greater than yourself. A place where you can be a part of making change. And the best way to do that is to tell your truth, share your story, and speak your mind. It is time that we see our identities as assets to our success rather than detriments. We need to surround ourselves with people who treat identity as a competitive advantage, and we need to embrace the strengths in our differences.
Today dictates tomorrow, and today I am choosing to never hide an aspect of my identity again. The workplace needs us, for us. That means that we have to be our authentic selves today to improve the climate of tomorrow. We need to recognize the strength of our identities and the value they add to the world. This is a collective effort and long overdue. For your own sake – and all of humanity’s – be yourself.
In life, the odds aren’t always stacked in your favor. So, what are you going to do about it? Nicole C. shares how she stayed true to her love of football even though it didn’t fit in to normative culture values.

President Obama has re-energized the area's culinary scene, if by "re-energizing," we mean "creating a stampede outside of Ben's."
Where's he been dining lately? Now you can easily follow along with the home version of the game!
Brightest Young Things have created a Google map to track all the places in the D.C. area where the president has eaten. We're actually hoping for a statistical model to develop from this, so we can predict which restaurant he'll visit next. Is that too much to ask?
By the way, last time we went to the Dairy Godmother in Del Ray, we got a small vanilla with hot fudge and toasted almonds. A week later, so did Barack. Coincidence? We think not.
Anyway, it's fun to say you've eaten at the same place a president has (the order of events doesn't really matter, honest!), so add them to your list and check back for the updates.

Challenging drug-resistant TB treatment journey for children, adolescents and their care-givers: A qualitative study.
MetadataShow full item record
AbstractBackground: Childhood multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) still affects around 25000 children every year across the globe. Though the treatment success rates for drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) in children are better than adults, children and adolescents face unique hurdles during DR-TB (MDR-TB, Pre-XDR TB and XDR-TB) treatment. This study aimed to understand the patients, guardians and healthcare providers' perspectives about DR-TB treatment journey of patients and caregivers. Methods: This is a qualitative study involving in depth-interviews of purposively selected adolescents (n = 6), patients guardians (for children and adolescents, n = 5) and health care providers (n = 8) of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) clinic, Mumbai, India. In-depth face to face interviews were conducted in English or Hindi language using interview guides during September-November 2019. The interviews were audio-recorded after consent. Thematic network analysis was used to summarize textual data. ATLAS.ti (version 7) was used for analysis. Result: The age of adolescent patients ranged from 15-19 years and four were female. Five guardians (of three child and two adolescent patients) and eight healthcare providers (including clinicians- 2, DOT providers-2, counselors-2 and programme managers-2) were interviewed. The overarching theme of the analysis was: Challenging DR-TB treatment journey which consisted of four sub-themes: 1) physical-trauma, 2) emotional-trauma, 3) unavailable social-support and 4) non-adapted healthcare services. Difficulties in compounding of drugs were noted for children while adolescents shared experiences around disruption in social life due to disease and treatment. Most of the patients and caregivers experienced treatment fatigue and burnout during the DR-TB treatment. Participants during interviews gave recommendations to improve care. Discussion: The TB programmes must consider the patient and family as one unit when designing the package of care for paediatric DR-TB. Child and adolescent friendly services (paediatric-formulations, age-specific counselling tools and regular interaction with patients and caregivers) will help minimizing burnout in patients and caregivers.

The Ultimate Guide to the Throne of Glass Series: A Comprehensive Overview
The “Throne of Glass” series, written by Sarah J. Maas, has captivated readers worldwide with its epic fantasy storytelling, intricate world-building, and compelling characters. With multiple novels, novellas, and companion works, navigating the chronological order of the series can be daunting for both new and seasoned fans. In this comprehensive guide, we delve deep into the world of the “Throne of Glass” series, providing a detailed overview of the books, novellas, and their chronological sequence.
Introduction to the “Throne of Glass” Series
Sarah J. Maas introduces readers to the fictional world of Erilea, a realm filled with magic, intrigue, and danger. At the heart of the series is the formidable assassin, Celaena Sardothien, whose journey from prisoner to heroine forms the core narrative arc. As the series progresses, readers are introduced to a rich tapestry of characters, kingdoms, and conflicts that shape the fate of the realm.
Chronological Order of the Series
The Assassin’s Blade: This collection of novellas serves as a prequel to the main series, offering insight into Celaena’s early years as an assassin and her formative experiences. The novellas include “The Assassin and the Pirate Lord,” “The Assassin and the Healer,” “The Assassin and the Desert,” “The Assassin and the Underworld,” and “The Assassin and the Empire.”
Throne of Glass:
The first novel in the series follows Celaena as she is released from the salt mines of Endovier by Crown Prince Dorian Havilliard. Tasked with competing in a deadly tournament to become the King’s Champion, Celaena must navigate political intrigue, rivalries, and dark forces lurking in the shadows.
Crown of Midnight: In the second installment, Celaena continues her role as the King’s Champion while uncovering secrets about her past and the true nature of the kingdom’s rulers. As tensions escalate and betrayals unfold, Celaena must confront her destiny and the looming threat of ancient evils.
Heir of Fire:
This pivotal book expands the series’ scope, introducing new characters, lands, and mythologies. As Celaena embarks on a journey to unlock her latent magical abilities, she confronts her inner demons and prepares to face the growing darkness threatening Erilea.
Queen of Shadows:
In the fourth book, Celaena embraces her destiny as Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen, and returns to reclaim her throne. With allies old and new, she wages war against the forces of darkness while confronting personal challenges and making sacrifices for the greater good.
Empire of Storms:
As the series reaches its climax, Aelin rallies her allies for a final confrontation with the tyrannical rulers threatening Erilea. Amidst epic battles and shifting alliances, secrets are revealed, and destinies are fulfilled, setting the stage for the series’ dramatic conclusion.
Tower of Dawn: This companion novel follows Chaol Westfall, former Captain of the Guard, as he embarks on a journey to the southern continent of Antica to seek aid for his injuries. Along the way, Chaol uncovers secrets that could change the course of the war and alter the fate of Erilea.
Kingdom of Ash: The epic conclusion to the “Throne of Glass” series sees Aelin and her allies face their greatest challenge yet as they confront the dark forces threatening to engulf Erilea in chaos and destruction. In a battle that will determine the fate of the realm, heroes will rise, sacrifices will be made, and destinies will be fulfilled.
The “Throne of Glass” series stands as a landmark achievement in the realm of fantasy literature, captivating readers with its richly imagined world, complex characters, and gripping storytelling. From its humble beginnings to its epic conclusion, Sarah J. Maas has crafted an unforgettable saga that will continue to resonate with readers for generations to come.
As fans eagerly await the next chapter in Sarah J. Maas’s literary journey, the “Throne of Glass” series remains a testament to the enduring power of imagination and the timeless appeal of epic storytelling.

The Democratic Coalition, an anti-Trump Super PAC, has filed an ethics complaint against White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders with the Office of Government Ethics for essentially calling for ESPN host Jemele Hill to be fired.
Hill recently called President Trump a “white supremacist” in a tweet. Asked about it during a White House press briefing Wednesday, Huckabee Sanders said Hill’s criticism of the president was a “fireable offense by ESPN.”
“When Sarah Huckabee Sanders called for Jemele Hill to be fired by ESPN, she crossed the line and put herself in dubious legal territory,” Coalition Chairman Jon Cooper said in a statement first obtained by TheWrap.
“For Sanders to publicly call for the dismissal of a Trump critic is bizarre and disturbing, to say the least,” Cooper added. “If anyone is to be fired, it should be her.”
The coalition cited a federal law, which states that certain government employees — including any executive branch employee — are prohibited from influencing the employment decisions or practices of a private entity or company “solely on the basis of partisan political affiliation.”
Breaking the law is punishable by a fine or up to 15 years in prison, or both.
“This is yet another example of the Trump White House’s blatant disregard for the Constitution and its authoritarian efforts to quiet dissenters,”Nate Lerner, the group’s Executive Director, said. “It is of the utmost importance that we hold the Trump administration accountable for this illicit behavior and protect our democratic institutions.”
The White House did not respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.

The introduction of a new Weekly Boss is one of the highlights of the 3.6 version of Genshin Impact. The Guardian of Apep Oasis hides in the dry regions of Sumeru, and is a new member of the “Story Boss Too Good to be Wasted” club alongside its fellow companions who are visited by the Traveler weekly.
Unlocking and defeating this boss might be quite a laborious act if you’re not caught up with most of the recent quests, but you need to face it if you’re thinking about leveling characters like Baizhu, Kaveh or Kirara in the long run. So here’s everything you need to do before tackling the Guardian of Apep Oasis in Genshin Impact.
How to Unlock the Guardian of Apep Oasis Fight in Genshin Impact
The Guardian is faced during the climax of Nahida’s second Story Quest, “Sapientia Oromasdis Chapter Act II: Homecoming”. To unlock the quest, the player needs to reach Adventure Rank 40 and have completed the final Sumeru Archon Quest “Chapter III: Act V – Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises”. Naturally, you also need to complete Nahida’s first Act.
Additionally, completing The Chasm’s World Quests up until “Perils in the Dark” is necessary for progressing through the second step of Nahida’s quest, where you’ll eventually have your first face-off with a toned-down version of the boss. After completing the quest’s final step, you can challenge the Guardian of Apep Oasis in a new Domain in the Desert of Hadramaveth. You also get a free Waypoint during the process.
How to Defeat the Guardian of Apep Oasis
The Guardian’s fight is very different from its extremely toned-down story version. It now hits like a truck, has gained some extra health and also learned a few new tricks during its final phase. Aside from extra bulkiness and some painful slaps, the first thing you’ll notice is a new attack where he slams the ground and summons various corruption balls. Avoid those at all costs.
During the Heart of Oasis phase, various creatures will spawn. Keep an eye on the root-like monster as he’ll protect his minions with Dendro shields. They can be brought down quickly with Pyro or Electro, but destroying the root will bring all shields down at once. Keep killing those creatures until the Heart’s health is at maximum.

The Guardian’s final form is deadly but manageable. It will occasionally create rumbles on the ground which culminate into a bigger explosion. As soon as you see the “Enter the Shield of Revival’s Hymn” message popping up, search for the green dome and stay put until you know it’s safe to leave.
Its other main attacks are mostly explosions on the ground, but it may occasionally hit you with various vines that can one-shot you. As soon as you see a DNA-like strip circulating around the boss, start running until the attack resolves. From here, it will mostly repeat its attacks until you finally bring it down.
The main rewards are his Weekly Boss drops, required to level Talents for various characters like Baizhu or Kaveh. Hopefully, he’ll also drop some Dream Solvents to help you transform the useless drops into the ones you’ll need.

The London Coliseum is an immensely impressive theatre that certainly lives up to its grand name.
The largest theatre in all of London, it was opened in 1904 in the city's famous West End. For those seeking arts and culture, witnessing a performance in this legendary venue is sure to be a memorable trip.
See breathtaking performances in a breathtaking space
One of the London Coliseum's biggest draws is its immense size. The theatre seats almost 2500 people, so you'll have ample chances to snag good seats, and with a stage 80 feet wide sitting beneath the widest proscenium arch in London, the interior feels like a magnificent cavern.
The enormous size of this venue only adds to the grandiosity of its performances.
Its stage is the domain of artists so impressive they seem to take up its entire space themselves, for the London Coliseum is owned by the English National Opera who regularly put on performances here.
The English National Ballet can also be found dancing at this impressive venue - we promise watching something like The Nutcracker within this tremendous building will be an experience you'll never forget.
A grand history
The London Coliseum is a theatre of many firsts. It was one of the first theatres to have electric lighting, the first theatre in England to have a triple revolve installed on its stage, and one of the first two places in the UK to sell Coca-Cola.
During its history, it has taken on many forms: for a brief period in the 1960s, it was used as a cinema, and during the Second World War, it served as a canteen for Air Raid Precaution wardens.
In fact, during the war, Winston Churchill himself gave a speech from this very stage!
The architect of the London Coliseum, Frank Matcham, was a distinguished figure in the early 20th-century who built over eighty theatres throughout the UK.
In 2000, the theatre underwent a massive restoration to be remodelled in a way that was more in line with Matcham's original image, returning the auditorium and other public spaces to their original Edwardian state and putting in a new staircase Matcham drew up plans for himself.
When you enter, you'll feel like you've been transported back in time.
We're sure that you won't want your first visit to the London Coliseum to be your last.
Getting there is easy by car, train, or bus, and if you get peckish and you're in the mood for some fine dining, the theatre also contains an elegant restaurant that serves delicious food.
The impressiveness of this legendary building makes watching one of the amazing performances hosted there an almost otherworldly experience, so why not see what events are happening there today?

Nearly every day, MBTA riders come across anything from cracked columns, loose flooring tiles, and leaky ceilings. While the T’s website has options to report problems inside stations, a small army of commuters is increasingly turning to a different medium to air their concerns: Twitter.
By tagging the MBTA and attaching photos and videos, riders hope to call attention to problems they encounter — not just to other riders but also to the transit agency itself.
Most of the problems only cause minor disruptions for commuters. But the disrepair undermines confidence in the T, which was beset with serious incidents this year — including a Green Line crash in July and a Back Bay escalator malfunction in September.
Evan Foss, a 37-year-old Newton resident and self-described public transit enthusiast, has been monitoring the MBTA’s maintenance issues since 2011, when he noticed a dangerously rusted staircase at the Science Park/West End Green Line station. Foss uses the Green and Red lines to get to work, and though he regularly attended the T’s public meetings to report his concerns, he began noticing that his comments weren’t always copied over into the public meeting notes.
So Foss created a Twitter account (@scribblesonnapk) in July 2018 to ensure that his concerns weren’t overlooked. “It occurred to me that if I wasn’t saying something in a public space that people actually saw regularly. . . it was never going to get heard,” Foss said.
@MBTA This column at Hynes is cracking more. I am concerned some amount of concrete is going to shear off and fall on someone. Please no more zipties, do a real repair and fix the leaks causing it. @GBHNews @bobWGBH @BostonGlobe @elizabethrkoh @chipgoines https://t.co/Lx71TaVfNZ— scribblesonnapkins (@scribblesonnapk) October 11, 2021
July Escobar, an East Boston resident, began paying closer attention to MBTA maintenance concerns issues over the summer, after a Boston University professor fell to his death through a rusted, closed-off staircase near the JFK/UMass stop on the Red Line.
Recently released records and e-mails show that several government agencies, including the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, had known about safety issues regarding the stairs and missed several opportunities to fix them. Ultimately, MassDOT said the stairs were its responsibility.
Escobar, who uses that stop to get to class at UMass Boston, said the condition of a different staircase at the station drove her to report the issue over Twitter for the first time on Nov. 19.
“You can see little corners of the stairs chipping off, and then once you’re on the stairs, you feel them moving a little bit,” she said. “I just got so frustrated because when it gets wet, those stairs are extremely slippery. And it got to a point where I felt so unsafe going up those stairs, I just had to reach out.”
Like Foss, she took to Twitter (@july_escobarx3) to report her observations, tweeting at the MBTA’s official account for the first time. The process seemed easier than trying to report through more official channels, she said.
“I can visit the [MBTA’s] website but I don’t know who to contact and then if you try to call, you get an automatic system,” said Escobar, who is 21. “I felt like Twitter was probably the fastest and quickest way.”
Rashaun Martin, a 43-year-old East Boston resident, also found Twitter to be a more straightforward way of reporting issues than calling the hotline or using the website. He has been using his Twitter account (@RashaunMartin) to deliver feedback to the MBTA for years, often regarding the bus stop in Day Square, which he says bus drivers frequently pass over. He makes a point to alert the T when drivers skip the stop, even when he is not personally affected by the oversight.
“It’s happened enough where I just keep an eye on it,” he said, noting that students from Excel Academy often gather at that stop to catch the bus home, and that there aren’t many alternate forms of transportation in the area. “It’s just a natural inclination now that whenever I see the 112 or the 121 bus leave Wood Island to head to Wellington or to Maverick respectively, I always look to see if they [reach the stop].”
Though Martin regularly provides critiques and suggestions for how the T could improve, he is also quick to provide positive feedback about the MBTA’s progress, such as when he sees the new Orange Line trains.
“I’m passionate about the T, I support it, I’ve ridden it my entire life,” he said. “My hope is just to continue to see it improve. I think there’s so much potential, and I think a lot more people want to ride the T, and they would ride the T if it works.”
Reporting issues with the MBTA is not the main purpose of Escobar or Martin’s Twitter accounts. But riders like Foss dedicate their profiles to broadcasting information about the T.
Foss, Escobar, and Martin are not alone. MBTA spokesperson Lisa Battiston said that about 95 percent of all online discussions about the MBTA and its services occur over social media. The T receives about 1,500 messages each week on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn, she said, and the agency logs each complaint before forwarding it on to the appropriate department. The MBTA also uses social media to announce delays, maintenance issues, and upcoming projects.

Thanks to solar-powered electronic ink (E Ink) signs, we can now bring train arrival times + service info to more Green Line surface stations that otherwise lack the needed power.https://t.co/Lan57nrsMU pic.twitter.com/8N1M0Z2bFC— MBTA (@MBTA) December 1, 2021
Complaints made on Twitter don’t always receive a response from the agency, though the T says it does its best to respond to as many as possible. And while some issues can be resolved quickly, others can take days or even weeks to resolve, leading to further frustration — for riders and MBTA employees alike.
Foss, who since 2018 has regularly updated his Twitter and YouTube feeds with photos and videos of problems he’s noticed, said MBTA employees sometimes send him photos of issues they have encountered. They may fear retaliation they would face if they reported or posted the photos themselves, he said.
“There’s a lot of very dedicated, very intelligent people who work for the T who would genuinely like it to run better. They’re talking to me out of frustration, and also because they are, a lot of the time, thrilled to have somebody who’s willing to accept that it’s not their fault.”
Though Foss admits that serving as an MBTA watchdog is not what he would prefer to do with his time, he feels a responsibility toward the workers and the riders to keep reporting the problems. He’s prepared to carry on for the foreseeable future.
“I hate to say it,” he said, “but there would have to be another person who came along that would just let me retire from this.”

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The question has followed the 76ers for three years, and for each game Joel Embiid fails to keep his conditioning issues under control and Ben Simmons keeps his 3-point shot tucked into his designer shorts, the franchise is no closer to an answer:
Can Philly win a championship with both All-Stars on the roster?
The doubt seems almost inconceivable given the talent possessed by the 24-year-old Simmons and 26-year-old Embiid and — certainly, at times — the pair have shown flashes of championship credentials.
Yet the well ran dry in the Brett Brown era and Sam Hinkie and Bryan Colangelo failed to crack the championship code, leading to one of the biggest overhauls yet under Josh Harris and David Blitzer’s ownership.
“My goal is to win us a championship, so whatever gets us there is what we’ll do,” Morey said. “But, I will say, to have two star-plus players at 24 and 26 years old, that is why I couldn’t get Doc Rivers to interview in Houston.”
Morey’s unemployment after his split with Houston — he cited family reasons, but quarantine time at home will rush anyone back to work — lasted about as long as Rivers’ time off after he left the Los Angeles Clippers. AP

We have found an incorrect formula to estimate the root mean square (rms) amplitude of the molecular vibration in the molecular optomechanics systems reported by J. Liu et al. [5, 450–456 (2017)PRHEIZ2327-912510.1364/PRJ.5.000450]. In contrast with common optomechanical systems, the equilibrium position for molecular optomechanics systems used in the letter cannot be achieved by the equipartition theorem. Here, we achieve the effective temperature of molecules and then provide a corrected formula for the estimation of the rms amplitude of molecular motion. Using defined effective temperature into our new formula, we show that the minimal measurable force is (), which it is 1 order bigger than the result of the main paper, and it is also in accordance with numerical calculation through the Lindblad master equation.
The model introduced in Ref.  by Jian Liu et al. consists of two adjacent molecules placed in the hot spot of a plasmonic cavity, which directly interact through dipole–dipole interaction and are also driven by two color laser beams (i.e., a strong pump and a weak probe laser), as shown in Fig. 1. The optomechanical theory has been applied to investigate the coupling behavior of molecules so that the full Hamiltonian in a rotating frame is then given by where are annihilation operators for optical and the vibrational mode of molecule (i), is the dipole–dipole coupling constant, is pump cavity detuning, is optomechanical coupling constant, and are the laser pumping and probing rate, respectively. Using the Lindblad master equation, the dynamical behavior of open whole systems can investigate as follows : where where is defined as the Lindblad super operator, and , are the damping of the plasmon and the first and second molecule, respectively.
Figure 1.Schematic of the model and relevant parameters.
Although two molecules are coupled to a common heat bath at temperature (authors had considered room temperature, i.e., ), optomechanical interaction between molecules and dipole–dipole can modify the temperature of molecules. Hence, we define the effective mean phonon number as where is the steady-state density operator. As a direct result, the effective temperature of each molecule yields  In the symmetric case, when , the effective temperature of both molecules is the same, i.e., (note that two molecules are coupled to a common heat bath). However, for the case , we have plotted the effective temperature of molecules as a function of optomechanical coupling constant with two different heat baths (Fig. 2; all parameters are considered similar to the main paper). The effective temperature of molecule GBT becomes , when the molecules are coupled to a room temperature heat bath. One can also analytically derive the effective temperature of molecules through adiabatic elimination of plasmon mode, in which an effective Hamiltonian for the two molecules is derived and also two mutually coupled molecules become coupled to an effective common thermal bath [3,4].
Figure 2.Effective temperature of molecules as a function of optomechanical coupling constants (notice that all parameters are considered similar to the main paper, i.e., , , , , , , and we also ignore the probe laser because it is weak and far detuned from plasmonic cavity center frequency and hence does not play a role in heat transferring).
Now, we provide a corrected formula for estimation of the root mean square (rms) amplitude of molecular motion and show that the equipartition theorem does not work in molecular optomechanics systems in contrast with the common optomechanical system. The rms amplitude of molecular motion is defined as follows: where is considered as the effective mass of the benzene ring and the atom of sulfur or gold for molecules of thiophenol or GBT . Using Eq. (5) and the commutation relation, one can easily show that Then, the rms amplitude can also write as a function of defined effective temperature using Eq. (6), After some calculation, the above equation is recast to In the classical limit , the above equation becomes the classical rms amplitude derived by equipartition theorem, in which the average energy is equally shared among all degrees of freedom in the same portion, so we have (because of for ). But, here system is in the other extreme, i.e., That means the energy of the resonator (, or ) is much larger than the room temperature energy ( for GBT), and the high temperature is not valid anymore. Molecular vibrations are indeed “frozen” at room temperature, so that their amplitude of motion is dominated by quantum zero point fluctuations instead of classical thermal fluctuations, which can change the main result of the letter about the minimal measurement force between molecules through a plasmonic cavity. For this point, we plot the minimal measurement force as a function of molecular frequency for three approaches, equipartition theorem (dashed line), numerically by Lindblad master equation in QUTIP package  (solid line), and our corrected formula (star dots) in Fig. 3, in which, for the numerical approach, we achieve the rms amplitude as follows: As shown in Fig. 3, the results of our corrected formula are matched with numerical Lindblad approach, which shows that the corrected formula is trustable in quantum regime. In order to clarify the equipartition theorem formula does not work as well, we plot the minimal measurement force for two different effective temperatures (cryogenic and almost room temperature for GBT), which shows a big deviation especially at high molecular frequency ( such as GBT) and cryogenic effective temperature. In this situation, , and rms amplitude becomes similar to zero-point motion, i.e., which shows it is dominated by quantum zero-point fluctuations instead of a thermal environment.

Figure 3.Comparison between different methods (equipartition theorem, numerical, and corrected formula) for minimal measurable force as a function of molecular frequency, with two different effective temperatures.
In particular, we achieve the rms of molecules GBT in the main paper at effective temperature ( K) using our correct formula [Eq. (10)], And also the distance between molecules becomes Therefore, the minimal measurable force is given as the following relation: One can also investigate the rms amplitude of quantum molecular optomechanical systems through quantum counterparts of the energy partition theorem described by the corresponding frequency probability distributions [6,7].

Phil Collins has accepted an offer to sell his Miami Beach mansion after a judge ordered his ex-wife Orianne Cevey and her toyboy husband to move out.
The 69-year-old musician's £29.3million six-bedroom property is now being listed as a "contingent" sale, meaning a deal has been struck in principle.
The sale will finally close one chapter in Collins' battle over the stunning home – which his lawyers alleged was subject of an "armed takeover" by Cevey.
The Genesis star reportedly hasn’t set foot in his mansion since September 2020 after finding out that Cevey had secretly married Thomas Bates in Las Vegas.
At the time, Collins is said to have believed they were still a couple after reuniting in 2016.
According to The Sun on Sunday, Collins was stunned when he got a text from her last July saying she had "found" another man.
The singer left for his home in Switzerland and Cevey immediately moved her new husband into the Miami Beach mansion with her.
Armed guards patrolled the property and Cevey allegedly had all the digital security codes changed.
Collins gave his ex-wife written notice on August 6 last year to leave the mansion set on 1.2 acres by September 30.
But despite a judge finally ordering her to leave, Collins could still face a lengthy legal battle over cash for the sale of the house.
Cevey - who has two sons with Collins - alleges that he "orally" promised her a 50 per cent stake in the mansion when they got back together after she dumped wealthy second husband Charles Mejjati.
Collins and Cevey divorced in 2006 and he paid her £25 million, which became the largest settlement in a British celebrity divorce.
However, in 2015 Collins moved to Miami Beach, Florida, to be closer to his two youngest sons and in 2016 he said he had reunited with Cevey and they were living together in his Miami home.

Girl, 3, killed in Northern California car crash
STOCKTON (AP) — A 3-year-old girl was killed Friday after being ejected from a vehicle in a rollover crash on Highway 99 in Northern California, authorities said.
In addition, a 10-year-old boy was airlifted to University of California, Davis Medical Center, and a 9-year-old girl was taken to San Joaquin County General Hospital. Their conditions could not be immediately determined.
The crash in Modesto involved a 2000 Isuzu carrying two adults and four children, and a 2012 Toyota containing two adults, California Highway Patrol spokesman James Smith said.
The Isuzu overturned several times, and its driver and surviving passengers were all hospitalized. The driver was identified as Maria Romero and her adult passenger as Eleazar Munoz.
The cause of the accident has not been determined.
The driver of the Toyota was identified as Andre Peterson, and the passenger as Linda Fischer, 52. They were not injured, authorities said.
None of the children’s names were released.

National PB&J Day on April 2 was even more fun this year, all thanks to Peanut Butter & Co. and their ‘Grab a spoon!’ event in Union Square NYC to support Food Bank For New York City.
NYFTA partnered with Golani Demos and their client Peanut Butter & Co., and together we were giving out free spoons of peanut butter with toppings to everyone who stopped by. The options were endless as Peanut Butter & Co. offers multiple flavors of peanut butter and almond butter. Also, toppings to choose from were exciting (fresh fruits, pretzel pieces, chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs, honey, rainbow sprinkles, marshmallow sauce, etc.). All that served on a stainless steel spoon, that everyone got to keep 🙂
The highlight of the day was Carla Hall, adored co-host of The Chew, a competitor on Top Chef and Top Chef: All Stars, and the author of Carla Hall’s Soul Food: Everyday and Celebration, who showed up to snack on some delicious peanut butter with us. Also, a photo booth with many props options was a hit. In the end, Peanut Butter and Co. donated 25,000 spoons of peanut butter (that’s equivalent to about 900 jars) and people who stopped by donated enough money for 1,125 meals!

hen Amy got pregnant during her freshman year of college, she knew that, at 18, she wasn't ready to be a mother. So she had an abortion. "That was a very easy decision to get to, but a very difficult emotional experience, both before and after," she says from San Francisco, where she now lives. "I wouldn't wish it on anyone else." Six years later, she says, she was living and working in New York City when, after a condom failure, she found herself with a second unwanted pregnancy. "That time, it was like, 'Oh, no! This sucks. Let me just take care of this.'" She had another abortion. "Oh well, that's over," she recalls thinking immediately afterward. "And then I didn't think about it very much." She didn't talk about it very much either, and, even today, she is loath to reveal it. "I rarely talk about the second abortion because of society's judgments about women who have a second abortion," she says. "It's like, 'Oh, you're allowed one mistake.'" But not two.
Amy's experience with multiple abortions was life-changing enough that she decided to volunteer at Exhale, a telephone hotline where women who have had abortions can speak openly about their experiences. Exhale, which calls itself "pro-voice," is part of a new approach to abortion that eschews dogmas, left and right. Through the organization, which went national in June, Amy counsels women like herself, some of whom have been through multiple abortions. Their numbers are growing. According to the Guttmacher Institute, an abortion-rights organization respected for its data collection, close to half of the 1.3 million abortions performed in the United States each year are repeat abortions, up from just 12 percent in 1973. Most repeat abortions are, like Amy's, a woman's second, yet the number of third abortions is not insubstantial. In 2000, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that 18 percent of abortions were performed on women seeking at least their third pregnancy termination. In contrast, studies have shown that rape and incest victims, the most politically sympathetic and high-profile group of abortion-seekers, account for about 1 percent of abortions.
Despite its prevalence, repeat abortion is the least discussed or researched aspect of abortion in the United States. In the past year, liberals and Democrats have increasingly focused on preventing unwanted pregnancies as a means of preventing abortion. But they have yet to address the specific needs of women who have already had abortions, partly out of fear of affirming conservative stereotypes about why women abort or how they react to an abortion. Asked about repeat abortions, a spokesman for naral Pro-Choice America declined several requests for comment.
Yet the reluctance of liberals and pro-choice advocates to shine a spotlight on the troubling repeat-abortion phenomenon has obscured a growing public health issue. Studies suggest that women having repeat abortions as compared with those having first-time abortions are more likely to be minorities, poor, and victims of sexual abuse--in short, among society's most vulnerable. Liberals have always sought to aid the neediest, but their fear of undermining abortion rights has paralyzed them when it comes to helping women at risk of repeat abortion. The sad fact is that, three decades after legalization, abortion is no longer mainly a tool women use to shape their own destinies, but rather a symptom of larger social problems that ought to be addressed by policymakers. Realizing this may just mean accepting that there's some credibility to conservative views on abortion.
he U.S. abortion rate has declined since its peak in 1980, so that, today, only 2 percent of women between the ages of 15 and 44, or roughly 1.3 million women, have abortions each year. This is good news for liberals--especially the "safe, legal, and rare" crowd that is eager to show that the abortion rate is declining--but these numbers also conceal a meaningful demographic shift. In 1973, the majority of American women who obtained abortions were white and childless. Since then, tremendous advances in birth control options--coupled with an upsurge in condom use in response to the aids epidemic, approval of the morning-after pill, and anti-teen pregnancy programs--have contributed to an overall decline in abortions, especially among the very young women most likely to have sought abortions in the past. Defying the pregnant-teen stereotype, only 19 percent of women getting abortions in 2000 were adolescents, according to Guttmacher, down from 33 percent in 1972.
But the trends aren't quite so propitious for other groups of women. While the overall U.S. abortion rate declined between 1994 and 2000 for nearly all population groups, it continued to rise among low-income women and women on Medicaid. And a growing proportion of women getting abortions are members of a minority group. During that same time period, the abortion rate fell 20 percent among white women but only 10 percent among Latinas and 8 percent among black women. Although they account for roughly 30 percent of the population, minorities represented fully 59 percent of women getting abortions in 2000. In contrast to the mostly childless women getting abortions in the '70s, 60 percent of women getting abortions today are already mothers. If the goal is to decrease abortion rates, then the social and medical changes driving today's lower overall abortion rate are leaving these women behind.
The whole point of defending abortion rights is so women can have control over their own destinies. The data, however, clearly show that a lot of women getting abortions are doing so precisely because they don't have control over their destinies, and perhaps never did. What few studies there have been of women who have repeat abortions paint a particularly disturbing picture. Rather than being the free choice of a woman controlling her own fate, repeat abortion operates as a kind of surrogate marker in women's lives for many other things that have gone awry.
A Canadian study of 1,145 women found that those getting repeat abortions in 1998-1999 were much more likely to have a history of sexual or physical abuse. "Presentation for abortion," the researchers concluded, "may be an important indication to screen for a current or past history of relationship violence or sexual abuse." Repeat patients were less likely to report they had "lots of friends" and "lots of plans for the future," and they reported significant conflict with their current partners.
Given these realities, it is high time that pro-choice advocates and their political defenders begin to treat abortion as a public health issue, rather than just a philosophical or political problem. Pro-choice advocates argue that women need the fail-safe of legal abortion in order to be free. Pro-life groups argue that the recriminalization of abortion will force women and men to become more sexually conservative and socially traditional, to their mutual benefit. But what women who abort appear to really need is the kind of help and social support that neither side has been willing to give them.
he great irony is that the reluctance to address repeat abortions has caused U.S. private sector abortion services to lag behind those offered elsewhere in the world. Since 1993, the leading international family planning and women's health groups have been trying to address the repeat abortion problem under the auspices of the Postabortion Care Consortium. The Consortium was motivated by concerns about unsafe abortions, among other things. The U.S. Agency for International Development works closely with the Consortium and has funded programs aimed, in part, to reduce repeat abortions in Turkey, Egypt, Russia, and several African and Latin American nations. The World Health Organization has advocated post-abortion care and counseling since 1991, and support for it was written into the 1995 U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women Platform for Action.
Though U.S. abortion services are much safer from a medical standpoint, it's time to consider whether secular post-abortion care and counseling services ought to be made available domestically as a routine part of women's health care as well. Such services could help women who abort gain control of their lives after abortion, get linked up with an appropriate form of birth control, and--most importantly--avoid descending into crisis once again.
Advocates brave enough to take on this subject will find broad support for it in the medical literature. A 1997 Guttmacher study recommended that "more intensive contraceptive counseling and services should be provided to first-time abortion patients who are young" or otherwise at high risk of repeat abortion. The Canadians who recommended screening for sexual or physical abuse posited that "such screening could result in offers for referral and counseling that might prove helpful to the woman ... and could potentially help avert a future abortion."
There are some post-abortion services available already in the United States, though the efforts are mostly piecemeal. Atlanta's Feminist Women's Health Center, one of the oldest abortion providers in the country, offers a shot of the long-acting hormonal contraceptive Depo-Provera and post-abortion counseling to all women who obtain procedures there. Planned Parenthood also has begun to offer post-abortion counseling services at some of its clinics, and it has long made sure that all women who leave their standard post-abortion follow-up visit are provided with a form of birth control.
But such efforts clearly have not been enough, and there has been little research into how to most effectively prevent repeat abortions. Indeed, it could reasonably be argued that providing poor women with job-training and life-counseling after abortion might do as much to reduce repeat abortions as providing birth control. Reaching out to men with post-abortion counseling and contraceptive information might also make a difference. Partly because they are older, women who get repeat abortions are less likely to be single, and one study at a Baltimore hospital found that one-third of women were accompanied to their abortion by the man who had impregnated them. If such men are "not included in counseling in any way, it constitutes a missed opportunity to reduce repeat abortions," Stan Becker, a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a study author, said when it was released in 2004. More research into what kinds of contraception are best for post-abortion women would also be beneficial. The high rate of daily birth control pill use reported among women seeking repeat abortions, for example, suggests that this method may be less effective for them than the weekly patch or Depo-Provera.
Polarization on abortion has kept those who defend a woman's right to choose silent on this issue. But pro-choice liberals must protect women from the poverty and abuse that often lead to abortion as fiercely as they protect the procedure itself. The growth of groups like Exhale shows that women who have had abortions need to be able to talk honestly about their experiences, including repeat abortion. Three decades after Roe v. Wade, liberals should still follow women's leads.

Londonderry brothers' film takes on student debt crisisAPRIL GUILMET
Sunday News Correspondent July 06. 2013 1:11AM
LONDONDERRY - During his days at Londonderry High School, Casey LaMarca was a drama student with big dreams - dreams that would lead to the launch of his own film-production company. What LaMarca didn't see at the time was a looming nightmare: the accumulation of debt brought on by student loans.
Like many recent college graduates, LaMarca now finds himself confronting that nightmare, in both the struggles he continues to endure with his family and in "Debt U," the documentary he's working on with his brother, Ryan, co-founder of their Brooklyn-based LaMarcable Productions.
"I was never told in high school that if I attended the school of my dreams, my family would be forced to sell the home we lived in for 16 years," Casey LaMarca, 24, said. "All you're told growing up is to get good grades, work hard and later on you'll get a job that could pay (loans) back. I bought into that."
Intended to be a full-length feature, "Debt U" tackles the topic of the nation's student-loan system, which Casey LaMarca says is deeply flawed.
When he entered Emerson College in 2006, Casey said, he and his parents took out $150,000 in student loans. Ryan, now 27, earlier had signed on for $100,000 in loans.
"I went to one of the most expensive schools in the country with no financial aid whatsoever," Casey said. "Signing up for my loans was that one financial moment that stays with me because it's almost a cruel joke to be reminded that at one point my family could afford those loans."
Reality hit hard after graduation, when, degree in hand, Casey found himself unable to make his $1,500 monthly loan payments. His parents, Charles and Mary LaMarca, tried to help shoulder the burden, but ended up being forced to sell their Crosby Lane home, which they shared with Mary's parents.
"I saw the same thing was happening to my brother and his friends," Casey said. "Then it hit me like a ton of bricks: My family had to sell their home. For me, this was the last straw, so I picked up my camera and started filming."
LaMarca's parents and grandparents still reside in Londonderry, but in a much smaller home in a retirement community.
"What we've endured because of my brother's and my education is the real loss," Casey said. "I never thought that my grandparents, the patriarchs of my entire family, would have to be searching for houses when they should be enjoying their retirement."
It didn't take much research for the LaMarca brothers to realize they were far from alone. What they discovered were stories of college graduates unable to pay off loans due to the inability to find adequately paying jobs, of parents having their own wages garnished as co-signers of loans, and of lenders selling off the loans to avoid debt forgiveness.
To fund their film, the LaMarca brothers, along with fellow Londonderry High graduate and co-producer Sara DeViney, 22, are seeking donations through the online fundraising site Kickstarter.com. With a budget of $40,000 and a deadline of July 15 to keep the project going, they've raised about $4,000 online - leaving them with not much time to raise a good amount of money.
If they succeed, "Debt U" will be released sometime next year. Several local theaters, including O'neil Cinemas in Londonderry and Epping, have committed to screenings. Ultimately, Casey LaMarca said, he and his co-producers hope the film goes to "Sundance and beyond," in reference to the renowned independent film festival.
"This is not the Casey LaMarca story, but mine is just one example of what is going on in this country and how lives are being destroyed by student loans," he said. "It is a plague. And it has to be stopped."

Most of our tests were performed with the sRGB mode turned MSI PX60 6QE, unless we specify it in the text below. As for the Adobe RGB, this is used in professional cameras, monitors etc for printing.
Basically, colors inside the black triangle are used by everyone and this is the essential part of the color quality and color accuracy of a MSI PX60 6QE notebook. Below you will see practically the same image but with the color circles representing the reference colors and the white circles being the result.
We tested the accuracy of the display with 24 commonly used colors like light and dark human skin, blue sky, green grass, orange etc. The next figure shows how well the MSI PX60 6QE is able to reproduce really dark parts of an image, which is essential when watching MSI PX60 6QE or playing games in low ambient light. On the horizontal axis, you will find the grayscale and on the vertical axis — the luminance of the display.
On the two graphs below you can easily check for yourself how your display handles the darkest nuances but keep in mind that this also depends on the settings of your current display, the calibration, the viewing angle and the surrounding light conditions. When you lower the brightness, the light intensity of MSI PX60 6QE backlight is not lowered, but instead turned off and on by the electronics with a frequency indistinguishable to the human eye.

Dental implants can be a very expensive procedure at many Lethbridge dentists. Some clinics in our city do not even offer this procedure. At our full service general dentistry clinic we are experienced and trained at providing you with the most modern approved dental procedures when it comes to having dental implants. We have done this procedure hundreds of successful times and have developed a talent for achieving high quality results with minimal complications and at an affordable price. We treat our Lethbridge patients like family, you may wish to come see us for a second opinion even.
Dental implants as we know them today were invented many years ago back in 1952 by a Swedish orthopedic surgeon. Today, they are considered the standard of care for prosthetic replacement of missing teeth in modern dentistry around the world. A dental implant is a surgical fixture that is placed right into the jawbone of the patient and allowed to fuse with the bone over the span of a few months. (note: we use a unique and innovative method to improve the healing process upon installation of Lethbridge implants). The dental implant then acts as a full replacement for the root of the missing tooth it replaces. In turn, this new “artificial tooth root” serves to hold either the replacement tooth or bridge replacing more than one tooth.
Having a dental implant fused to the jawbone is the closest thing to mimicking a natural tooth because it stands on its own without affecting the nearby teeth and has great stability. The process of fusion between the dental implant and jawbone is called “osseointegration.” Most dental implants are made of titanium, which allows them to integrate with bone without being recognized as a foreign object in our body. Over time, technology and science have progressed to greatly improve the outcomes of dental implant placement. Today, the success rate for dental implants is close to 98% across the entire industry, however our personal success rate exceeds this amount and our patients actual results are closer to 100%, however we are required to state that individual results may vary and not every patient is the same.

December 13, 2017
The Council says that the new Regulation aims at modernising cooperation mechanisms to further reduce the harm caused to consumers by cross-border infringements to EU consumer law.
The new Regulation replaces the Consumer Protection Cooperation Regulation (2006/2004/EC) and covers 26 pieces of European consumer protection legislation. Following a review on the effectiveness of the current Regulation, it was concluded that the current Regulation no longer effectively addresses the challenges of the digital single market. The new Regulation gives more powers to national authorities, as part of the development of the digital single market.
In cases of EU-wide breaches of consumer rights, national enforcement authorities and the Commission will coordinate their actions to put a stop to them, in particular where they concern widespread infringements with an EU dimension that are likely to harm consumers across a large part of the EU.
The Council says that ineffective enforcement in cases of cross-border infringements, in particular in the digital environment, enables traders to evade enforcement by relocating within the EU, giving rise to a distortion of competition for law-abiding traders operating either domestically or cross-border, and thereby directly harming consumers and undermining consumer confidence in the single market.
An increased level of harmonisation setting effective and efficient enforcement cooperation among public enforcement authorities is therefore necessary to detect, investigate and stop widespread infringements with an EU dimension, the Council says.
To ensure consistent practice across the EU, the new Regulation sets out a number of minimum investigation and enforcement powers that every national competent authority will have to have in order to coordinate effectively in the fight against infringements. These powers strike a balance between the interests which are protected as fundamental rights such as a high level of consumer protection, the freedom to conduct business and the freedom of information.
The mutual assistance mechanism between administrations will be strengthened to help establish whether any intra-EU infringement has occurred and put a stop to it.
An improved alert mechanism will allow a competent authority to notify the Commission and other competent authorities without delay of any reasonable suspicion that an infringement is taking place on its territory that may affect consumers’ interests in other Member States.
Authorities will also be able to open investigations on their own initiative if they become aware of such infringements by means other than individual consumer complaints. To read the Council’s press release in full and for a link to the text of the new Regulation, click here.

At least $2bn (£1.25bn) worth of diamonds has been stolen from Zimbabwe, campaign group Partnership Africa Canada (PAC) has alleged.
It was "the biggest plunder of diamonds since Cecil Rhodes", it said, referring to a British colonial mining magnate.
The "theft" at the Marange fields had enriched Zimbabwean officials, international gem dealers and criminals, the PAC report said.
A Zimbabwean mining official dismissed the allegation as "totally false".
The report, Reap What You Sow: Greed and Corruption in Zimbabwe's Marange Diamond Fields, was released by the Ottawa-based group to coincide with the Zimbabwean government's conference on diamond trade at the resort town of Victoria Falls.
President Robert Mugabe, in his address to delegates, said the government was committed to observing "international laws on diamond mining, storage and trading", AP news agency reports.
The industry's global watchdog body, the Kimberley Process, lifted a ban on Zimbabwean diamond sales in 2011, with the backing of the US and European Union.
The ban was imposed in 2009 following reports that Zimbabwean military officials were benefiting from the diamond trade and there had been killings and human rights abuses at the Marange fields.
The PAC said the scale of "illegality" at the fields was "mind-blowing".
"Conservative estimates place the theft of Marange goods at almost $2bn since 2008," it added.
In July, Zimbabwean Finance Minister Tendai Biti said that $600m in diamond revenues was expected this year, but only $46m had materialised.
Mr Biti is a member of the Movement of Democratic Change (MDC), which is in a fractious coalition with Mr Mugabe's Zanu-PF party.
The two parties formed a power-sharing government in 2009, following elections marred by violence.
The mining industry and security portfolios are controlled by Zanu-PF.
The head of of the state-run Zimbabwe Mining Development Company, Goodwills Masimirembwa, told AP that the PAC's allegations were "totally false".
"No diamonds have ever gone missing," Mr Masimirembwa is quoted as saying.
"When we are selling our diamonds, all stakeholders - the police, revenue board and the country's mineral marketing body - come together. So, are they saying all these institutions are in collusion?"


This discomfort is often due to poor quality pillows or mattresses. There are several factors that you should consider when buying a mattress to prevent cervical pain.
Factors to consider when buying the best mattress for cervical pain
Though cervical pain can be felt at any point along your spine, it is common in the lower region of your back. When sleeping, it is recommended that you ensure that your body gets a continuous support when laying flat.
Your body should also have full and uniform contact with your mattress. This ensures that your spine maintains the proper posture and the body weight is equally distributed over the mattress, keeping your shoulders, neck, upper, middle and lower back healthy.
Latex mattresses are considered to be the best for cervical pain especially due to their effective springy action that provides ultimate relief as you sleep. They are often made from a material that pushes back to fit the contouring of your back, maintaining full body contact.
Most people suffering from back problems have greatly benefited from memory foam mattresses. Mattresses with high-density foam provide optimal spinal alignment and support which offers maximum contouring of your back, relieving all the pain.
A mattress that is sagging or too soft may be creating an uneven surface for your back, leading to cervical pain. On the other hand, a mattress that is too firm may have too much pressure on your back, leading to back pain. You should ensure that your mattress is neither too soft nor too firm.
Best Mattress For Cervical Pain
When buying your mattress on a tight budget, the most important thing is to get the best mattress that does not squeak, poke, bend or dip. Ensure that you have considered all the factors mentioned above to get a high-quality mattress. Some of the top-rated mattresses for cervical pain include:
Dream Foam Bedding –
This mattress has received numerous reviews, ranking it as the best mattress for cervical and back pain. With a 12″ thickness, the mattress also features antimicrobial latex, dust mite resistance and is also naturally hypoallergenic.
When you are buying the mattress, you are allowed to choose your desired firmness, as the manufacturers can customize it to your desired comfort level. The mattress is ideal for those suffering from chronic, joint as well as back pains.
Colonial 14 – This mattress is also among the top rated mattresses designed with natural memory foam. It features natural cotton and bamboo blended breathable cover that helps to regulate both heat and humidity, providing a silky and cool sleep surface.
It is also designed with two separate comfort layers providing deep contouring, unbeatable back relief, and full-body support. It is not only firm and supportive but also soft and expertly molded to fit body contours.
It is the best option for those suffering from fibromyalgia, sciatic nerve pain as well as other joint and pressure point pains. The Colonial 14 lasts for years without sagging or bending and compares to most expensive brands, but available at half their prices.
This is a new product in the market that features a 6 layered gel memory foam design. Unlike most other products available at its price, the design of the DynastyMattress ensures that it is not adversely affected by your heat temperature, a leading factor contributing to reduced firmness retention and responsiveness.
Once the top layers are heated, the other layers help to cool them off allowing the mattress to maintain its medium-firm support so as to effectively contour to your body. The mattress is great for hips and joint pains, bad backs, and sciatica.
Having a good night’s sleep will not only boost your immune system but will also improve your memory and productivity as well as allow for cell regeneration. Good sleep will also rest your body, protect you from stress and even encourage creativity. It is, therefore, vitally important that you get the best mattress with ultimate comfort to prevent back and neck pain.

(8/10) The only walls I can accept nowadays are walls of sound. Actually I love them. This time it's Finnish pagan powerhouse that builds those walls on their new longplayer "Jumalten Aika".
The guys from Helsinki, Finland do not need a lot of songs to create this sound monumemt. The current album is limited to five tunes whereof four come with an epical length.
Easily crossing the 10 minutes boarder Moonsorrow created musical masterpieces that reflect black metal roots as well as a lot of folk and tradition. It's impressive how much power these guys bring up to surface.
Just take "Mimisbrunn" as an example. The start is silent with gurgling water and an acoustic guitar. It's such a beginning that already starts create pictures in your mind. After a while a harsh riff rips up the romantic vibe and the tune turns into a heavy but wistful metal track that is kept in midpace. The riffing is almost hypnotic with Ville Sorvali's plangorous vocals. Some choir sections give this tune even more intensity and in the end "Mimisbrunn" is more than just a song. It's storytelling by using the entire spectra of emotionalizing music.
I picked this song because I think it's the best. But actually the other four tracks are no slouch either and are on the same high level.
"Jumalten Aika" is an excellent longplayer that combines many influences to a total that is thrilling from beginning to end. Hot stuff from the cold North.

How to Create an Effective Lawn Care Fertilizer Schedule for 2023
What Is Fertilizer and How Does It Work?
Fertilizer is a soil amendment that helps promote healthy growth of plants and grass. It is a combination of macro- and micronutrients that provide essential nutrients to help improve the soil’s health and structure. Fertilizer helps plants absorb and use the essential minerals and nutrients they need to grow and flourish. Without fertilizer, plants and grass will suffer from an inadequate supply of essential nutrients.
Choosing the Right Fertilizer for Your Lawn
When deciding what type of fertilizer to use for lawn care, it’s important to consider your lawn’s unique needs. Different types of grass and soil require different types of fertilizer, so it’s important to research what fertilizer will work best for your lawn. When selecting a fertilizer, look for one with a balanced ratio of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. This will help to ensure your lawn gets the nutrients it needs.
Understanding Fertilizer Application Rates
When applying fertilizer, it’s important to understand the correct application rates. Too much fertilizer can damage your lawn, while too little won’t provide the necessary nutrients. Generally, it’s best to apply fertilizer twice a year. Once in the spring and once in the fall. It’s also important to water the lawn after applying fertilizer to help the nutrients reach the roots of the grass.
Creating a Lawn Care Fertilizer Schedule for 2023
Now that you understand the basics of fertilizer and how it works, it’s time to create a lawn care fertilizer schedule for 2023. Start by researching the best type of fertilizer for your lawn and soil type. Once you’ve chosen a fertilizer, decide when you’ll apply it. Generally, it’s best to apply fertilizer once in the spring and once in the fall. Finally, make sure you water your lawn after applying fertilizer to help the nutrients reach the roots of the grass.
Creating a lawn care fertilizer schedule is an important part of maintaining a healthy lawn. With a little research and planning, you can create an effective fertilizer schedule that will help ensure your lawn is getting the nutrients it needs throughout the year. Just be sure to follow the correct application rates and water your lawn after application to help the nutrients reach the roots of the grass.
