This paper aims at presenting an experimental investigation to obtain the optimum formability of light-weight alloys under the multi-stage forming process. Titanium alloy sheets (Ti-6Al-4V) and aluminium alloy sheets (AA5052) are selected as forming specimens. The special fixture with heating device is applied in order to carry out the prestraining process. The swift forming test at warm-forming condition is performed for measuring the limit dome heights after the multi-stage formign process. The outcomes of this investigation are valuable for engineers to design and fabricate high-quality light-weight components efficiently.

Well, well, well. We asked for it and you guys delivered. The entries in our Spring ’13 Short Film Contest featured some astonishing work, making this our most competitive contest yet. Thank you so, so, so much to the 60-plus filmmakers who submitted. Out of those 60-plus, six films made it to the final round, and out of those six films, the following two titles rose to the top. It’s quite fitting that one is a work of nonfiction while the other is fiction, for it shows that we don’t play favorites here at HTN when it comes to form or genre. Note to filmmakers of all stripes and forms: keep submitting short work of any variety in future contests!
A hearty thank you goes out to our judges—David Lowery (Ain’t Them Bodies Saints), Dustin Smith (Roadside Attractions), and Adam Keleman (HTN Short Film Contest Winner: August ’12 for Long Days)—who were nice enough to write some words about the films they selected.
We are still finalizing the details of our Summer ’13 contest, but expect submissions to be reopening by the end of this week. Congratulations to this month’s winner and runner-up, but, seriously, to every single one of you who submitted: thank you very much. Keep fighting the good fight, you talented people!
Gold Party (Nellie Kluz, 16:30)
The saddest and strangest thing about these stories is just how un-strange they are. In a time when Fox News “journalists” personally sell gold coins during the commercial breaks in their “news” programs and all Americans rush from bubble to bubble as they try to deny the fundamental rot at the center of our economy, Gold Party is a scary, funny, vaguely threatening look at a country in deep, deep denial. (Dustin Smith)
The Chair (Grainger David, 12:00)
A gorgeous, hazy remembrance of an event that shakes a community and takes on almost mythic significance in the eyes of the youngsters who survive it. This is exceptional storytelling. (David Lowery)
The Chair is now available for download at iTunes for only $1.99. Do yourselves two favors and buy this movie—1) support the work of an ambitious, talented short filmmaker, and 2) experience a hauntingly lovely film—before returning here to check out my full HTN review.

WE REVIEW THE NEW SINGLE FROM HYBRID KID – MIRACLE
When I read garage rock as a description of the music that Hybrid Kid makes I was somewhat surprised to turn on this song and hear the music I did. However, the Brighton-based trio clearly do have a knack for this whole music thing!
With their latest single ‘Miracle’, the three-piece have really made something quite magical with this song. The guitar line is the first main thing I want to bring up as it was the first thing that caught my ear. Phenomenal playing and to be honest, phenomenal part writing too. Writing a guitar line like that for this sort of song isn’t always the easiest as often, bands will slip into writing a guitar part that sounds just like another song that’s already written. This song, however, is highly distinguishable and has personally blown me away.
Hybrid Kid has written a song that, on the surface, is so simple in its structure and instrumentation. However, it’s a song that under that surface is a real mammoth track full of soulful vocals, haunting instrumental lines, and masterful writing.
I’m not normally one for sad songs, however, this one really did have me gripped just purely due to the insane nature of the lyrics and quite honestly the drum beat left me with quite a bit of intrigue about the song. ‘Miracle’ is a song that always feels like it is building and creates a lot of tension but never quite hits that huge crescendo moment for me and it makes me feel extremely uneasy as a listener, which for me is great as it left me wanting to hear more and more of this great band.

Managed by the festival’s community outreach and education program, the Family Day events will shift this year to the Betsy and John Casteen Arts Grounds at U.Va. They previously took place on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall.
This year’s revitalized festival, set for Nov. 9, will work with constituents across the U.Va. arts community to offer a comprehensive and immersive series of film-focused arts experiences, including a variety of interactive movie-themed workshops.
Participants will include representatives from the Department of Drama, the Charlottesville and University Symphony Orchestra, the School of Architecture, The Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia and the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection.
“We will be engaging the entire community in a dynamic series of presentations that leverage the extraordinary talent and creativity of the University of Virginia’s arts professionals while offering a window not only into the world of film, but also into the kinds of quality arts experiences that are offered here throughout the year.”
Once again this year, the festival’s Young Filmmakers Academy will showcase the work of budding young artists as a highlight of the Family Day festivities.
The academy introduces students to the challenge of filmmaking. Students work in teams to write, produce and edit brief films around a common structure. This year’s assignment focuses on props, the furnishings, hand-held objects, decorations and other moveable items used in films. The theme, “A Proper Film,” will challenge young filmmakers to put on a director’s cap and think about props of all kinds and sizes as the inspiration for their films.
On Family Day, the festival will honor the young filmmakers with a red carpet experience and a screening of their work. The academy screenings feature short films by elementary and middle school students from around Charlottesville and Albemarle County, supported by teachers and the festival’s outreach and education team.
Classroom teachers interested in participating should contact Jane Freeman at 434-823-4221 or firstname.lastname@example.org by Sept. 5. Available spaces will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
All 2013 Virginia Film Festival Family Day activities are free and open to the public.
“We are very thankful to our partners at the Bama Works Fund of Dave Matthews Band in the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation and at the Charlottesville City and Albemarle County schools for their strong and important support of our Family Day programs,” Kielbasa said.
The festival will make its full program and schedule announcement on Oct. 8. For information, visit www.virginiafilmfestival.org.

JANESVILLE, Wis. (WMTV) -- One person was hospitalized during a chemical spill that left the Rock County Courthouse closed on Friday.
A Rock County Facilities Management employee exposed to the chemical cloud was taken to a local hospital for treatment, and a sheriff's deputy was treated on scene, according to a statement from Troy Knudson, Rock County Sheriff.
Officials with the Rock County Sheriff's office, Janesville Police and Fire were dispatched to the Rock County Courthouse at 8:30 a.m. for a possible chemical incident, according to the Janesville Fire Department.
The statement says that a facilities management worker was mixing chemicals to treat water for the courthouse air cooling system, when the fire alarm at the courthouse was activated, according to the release. This was an accidental incident, according to the Janesville Fire Department.
Ultimately, everyone was evacuated from the courthouse, and the air handling system was closed in order to prevent the chemical cloud from spreading.
Janesville Fire Department HAZMAT team was sent to the scene, and around 9:30 a.m., the courthouse was closed for the day. HAZMAT remains on scene for clean up.
The HAZMAT team isolated the gas, evacuated the building and ventilated the area. Crews remained on scene until a private company removed the chemicals. The Janesville Fire Department did not disclose the name of the company.
After the private company removed the chemicals, courthouse workers were able to return to the building, at approximately 4 p.m., according to the Janesville Fire Department.
Employees that have personal belongings at the courthouse will be notified after 5 p.m. about pick up arrangements.
In total, 23 firefighters were on scene at the incident.

MPS (Muscle Protein Synthesizer) contains not one but 4 HIGHLY PROVEN active ingredients that are among the world's most effective muscle protein synthesizing anabolics. MPS contains these ingredients in doses clinically proven to be optimally effective to give best results.Read On To Learn How MPS Can Help You Build A Lot More Muscle Mass!
The first ingredient... Phosphatidic Acid, present in large dose in our formula, has been clinically shown to be nothing short of amazing. It can literally double muscle mass growth when taken in the doses we provide here in our MPS product. Phosphatidic Acid activates mTOR, which directly stimulates protein synthesis to muscle cells and results in muscle growth.
Moving on we have Fulvic Acid, our second ingredient in MPS... Fulvic Acid is a proven highly effective anablic as well.
Fulvic acid is actually being called Nature's Miracle Molecule, because it does so many things ... it wears so many hats. Reported claims of benefits are a little short of astonishing. Here are a few:
* Increased energy * Powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger * Chelates heavy metals and toxins, removing them from the system * Transports nutrients into the cells * Extends the time nutrients remain active - increasing availability of essential nutrients * Increases metabolism of proteins, contributing to DNA and RNA synthesis * It's a powerful natural electrolyte * Restores electrochemical balance * Increases activity of a host of enzyme systems * Helps rebuild the immune system * Increases bioavailability of nutrients and minerals
Our next ingredient... Mamordica Charantia, is yet another highly anabolic substance showing benefits that improve body composition and athletic performance. The most active ingredient in Mamordica Charantia is a steroid named charantin. In a study using 3 preparations of Mamordica, researchers found that oral Mamordica had the best results. It shows no change in prostate size but a dramatic increase in muscle. So it has a strong anabolic effect but no androgenic effect. Further research shows that Mamordica Charantia taken before a carbohydrate meal decreases the storage of carbohydrates as fat and increases their storage as glycogen in the liver and skeletal muscle. This leads to fuller muscles and improved performance and less body fat. Not does Mamordica Charantia aid in the partitioning of carbohydrates, but it actually stimulates lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibits lipogenesis (fat deposition) in humans. In addition to its effects on carbohydrate metabolism and body composition, Mamordica Charantia has also been shown to lower liver triglycerides too.
Next we have Agmatine Sulfate, which in the muscle building and sports performance world is well known to work to provide the following benefits:
* Vasodilator - improves muscle pumps via inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). * Better intra-workout energy. * Nootropically aids mental clarity (focus), stress management and mental health. * Promote healthy insulin sensitivity, promoting leanness and muscle building. * Increases appetite even when full, making it easier to gain weight and muscle.
Being such a great vasodilator, Agmatine opens even the tiniest veins and capillaries to allow the other ingredients into the muscle cells so they can go to work building lots of new muscle mass for you!
Lastly, we added Piperine as boost bioavailability. Not that it needed it because these ingredients are all already highly available already... but we like to put this supplement to the stratosphere as far as being the most potent and available to the body possible so you get the absolute best results possible!
Make no mistakes about it... Gold Medal Supplements MPS (Muscle Protein Synthesizer) product legitiately gives steroid-like results and it is entirely safe, natural and 100% legal! MPS is an awesome example of just how powerful the synergy can be when we combine modern innovative science with cutting edge nutrition for the benefit of the training athlete!
DON'T MISS OUT...

Regolatori di tensione
The autotransformer is an efficient, trouble-free device for controlling A.C. voltage. Unlike most transformers, our voltage regulator has a transformation ratio that can be smoothly and continuosly changed so the output of the unit can be controlled from zero to line voltage or even higher.
EFFICIENT -transforms power more efficiently than rheostats
DURABLE -because it runs cool (40/50° C max)
OVERLOAD-ABLE withstands 1000% overloads short term
-Independent of load size or power factor - voltage to the load changes little from full load to none.
- Produce an adjustable output voltage that is a sine wave. Only the voltage magnitude is changed; the shape of the voltage is not distorted.
-Handle all load power factors.
-Can be used to adjust banks of capacitors and/or inductors.
-Regulate voltage (over and under-voltage testing of electrical and electronic equipments).
- Speed control
-Lighting control in theatres, hotels, photographic studios
-Motor test stands
-Industrial process heating control
-Source voltage & load banks for electrical testing:
• circuit breaker
• uninterruptible power supplies
-Control of D.C. voltage and current through rectifiers
-Control of rectifiers in electroplating etc.
-Supply voltage adjustment (automatic voltage stabilisers)
Designed and tested according to VDE-0552 and
IEC 61558-2-14; designed as toroidal autotransformer.
All regulators use grain-oriented strip wound silicon steel cores ensuring low losses and reduce magnetizing current.
The winding, wich is insulated from the core by precision moulded winding formers, comprises a single layer (class H wire) carefully wound to provide a flat surface for the brushgear.
Easily replaceable carbon brush units are used, the resistance of the brush being carefully calculated to limit the current circulating in the bridged turns.
It is therefore most important that only the correct replacement brush is used in any particular original's. Brushes are mounted in robust brush carriers insulated from the shaft, and designed so that metal parts cannot come into contact with the winding in the event of brush fracture.
The wound core and brushgear are mounted on a rugged cast aluminium frame providing strenght combined with minimum weight. The bases incorporated mounting holes providing interchangeable fixing centres with many other variable autotransformers.
General specifications and terminology
The data given in the table on pag. 6-7 should be read in conjunction with the following general specifications.
the supply voltage to which the variable transformer is connected.
the range of voltage available at the output terminals.
all units in this catalog operate in the range of 50 to 400 Hz.
output current that can be drawn at any brush setting for a continous duty.
the current rating may be multiplied by the square root of the Duty Cycle Ratio, this being defined as the off-plus-on-time divided by on-time. The resulting up-rated current must be compared with the short-time overload current (see Fig. 3), the lower of the two figures being the maximum permissible current.
current ratings apply up to 45°C ambient. Fig. 4, must be applied for more elevated temperatures.
the maximum output current at maximum output line voltage multiplied by that max voltage and divided by 1000 for single-phase. Divide by 577 for three-phase (1000/V3).
Line-Voltage and over-Voltage connection:
with line-voltage connections, the supply is connected across the whole winding, and the maximum output equals the applied voltage. In over-voltage connection, the supply is applied to a tapping provided instead of to the whole winding, giving e.g.: 0-280 Volt from a 220 Volt supply.
all variable transformers are flash-tested at 2,5 KV. rms 50 Hz.
Types Available: Terminology
The variable autotransformers are made in seven basic series or frame size V1 - V3 - V5 - V10 -V20 - V40 - V70. Electrical specifications are given in the detailed tabulations for the various models on pag. 6-7 following.
Optional features can be provided.
Single and three phase
Single phase - Suffix V / Three phase - Suffix T
All basic variable transformers are available in uncovered form. These units are designed with the suffix: NA (ex V5 NA Single phase uncovered, T5 NA Three phase uncovered).
All single units and ganged assemblies are available in acratively styled enclosure Suffix: NC (ex V 5 NC single phase covered).
V1 - V3 - V5 - V10 - V20 series can be supplied in portable cases with carrying handles, input lead, switch, output fuse. A digital voltmeter LED (suffix PV) can be provided. The portable models are also available with voltmeter and ammeter (suffix PVA)
In the models covered and portable the output can
be taken through:
a) socket type “schuko” (up to 10 A) suffix SCH
b) CEE socket 16-32-64 A suffix CES16, CES32, CES64
c) insulated terminals suffix ILT
All open and covered voltage regulators are available with reversing motor drive for remote control and automatic applications. Suffix: M
All voltage regulators are available assemblies of two, three, four, five, six units operating on one common shaft for parallel or series. The number following the suffix NA or NC indicated the number of ganged regulators (add SR for series connection)
Exemple: V 70 NA/6-M is a single phase uncovered motor-drive regulator with six units in parallel. V 70 NA/2SR-M two units series connection.
Non standard voltage or non standard current, limit switches, special shaft and special motors can be supplied to customer’s special requirements.

shoving at the thing from all sides
to bring it down.
I first read this in 2013 and it has been important to me ever since. I read it again near Kwai Chung dock in 2016. This throws me back to the student movement of 2010 and the uprising of 2011 and my two years in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The text is a dense, quasi-collective bildungsroman and allegory. The narrator and the angel Nuriel have a discussion in Kwai Chung, while workers demonstrate in the background. Nuriel predicts that change is coming, and the discussion turns to social “atoms” as the setting turns to defeat. Valves punched out of the poet’s nose deliver the counter-argument. Their debate is a necessary read for any contemporary writers who hope to grip the unity that our separation must entail. At its end, the narrator descends into the hell of the present.
In People, Mountain Press, 2013
The setting is Ireland, during the War of Independence. A small flying column has become too friendly with their English prisoners; the narrator (Bonaparte) notes that like weeds they take root wherever they are put. The flying column justify the impending execution to their prisoners, Belcher and Hawkins. Hawkins pleads, offers to join the Irish cause, defiantly claims that he won’t be killed because his Irish “chums” are not “tools of any capitalist.” But neither pleas nor denial work. Hawkins is shot, and then the other guest of the euphemistic title, Belcher, notes that he isn’t properly dead yet, so requests that Hawkins is shot again. Then Belcher is “plugged.” However fatigued I might be with the idea of an epiphany™ or the equally glib mirror-image, the negative-epiphany™, something of that affect overcomes me on reading this story and its brief sketch of violence in an anti-colonial struggle.

I first heard this story read by the author at the launch of Isabel Waidner’s Gaudy Bauble (2017) at the Horse Hospital in London. It struck me then for its humour and tenderness and the effortless way it knitted us together as an audience. For Williams, language and love are never far apart (and that is probably already a commonplace in Williams Studies), and a love-object will always be mediated through language and seduced by that rather than, say, gesture. To read this is to entangle word and world. While the narrator overthinks a (what other’s might describe as a mere) kiss in cascades of rhythmic prose, the loved-one has leaned in and done it without thinking. You can find Williams’ Personal Anthology here.
…my hand a melting tessellation could feed you crushed Oreos and moon parings, my hand not quite in yours, but not yet quite out, the starting track at a race track when a white flag means surrender and Black Flag means punk bands formed in seventies California and I cannot tell whether you or I are leaning nor if the attendant is approaching…
A man on a fishing boat contemplates the scenery in the context of a recent and indeterminate sexual encounter. The crew are fishing by Fastnet rock. I grew up near the sea in Cork, so its appeal is personal. It is simple: a man becomes captain of a fishing boat, another man retires. What defence can one have in the face of such compelling plainness? There are a number of quasi-accurate responses, but one of those is none.
It was very dark. Everything was huge and shapeless. Anchored as she was, tethered besides, clumsy with the weight of dripping fish-spangled net coming in over the gunwale, the nobby was tossed and slapped about with a violence that surprised him; flakes of wet brightness were being flung everywhere from the one lamp bound firmly to the mast. Yet the night was almost windless, the sea apparently sluggish: there must be, he thought, a stiff swell beneath them.

In ‘the river,’ brown creates a story that advocates for socioeconomic equality and social justice movements, with a strange agent of justice – waves from the river which selectively targets gentrifiers and the upper echelons of society. The entire collection is worth checking out – no-one can afford to overlook Octavia’s Brood.

This story is important to me because it is one of my first experiences of intractable, strategic difficulty. Beckett is an influential writer for so many people that I won’t go into it here, but his early work (this was published in 1934) is somewhat under-read. I’ve made some notes to assist readers here. I restrained myself to one story from Beckett, but The Lost Ones (1970) and Imagination Dead Imagine (1965), which is described on first publication by Calder and Boyars as “Mr. Beckett’s first essay into a new kind of science fiction,” are also extremely important short works.

I'm Worried About My Child
What Causes Challenging Behaviour?
Helping Your Child
Should I Seek A Diagnosis?
Making It Work
What Results Will We See?
Every child displays challenging behaviour at some point – but what if you suspect there’s more to it than that? Challenging behaviour is defined as behaviour of such intensity, frequency or duration that it compromises the physical and emotional safety of your child or others around him or her.
Children with behavioural problems struggle with uncontrollable anger and violent verbal or physical outbursts, sometimes for no apparent reason.
Challenging behaviour can be a symptom of a range of factors, including:
a psychological condition such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Environmental factors, either within or outside of the home
Left unaddressed, challenging behaviour can put a strain on your family life and can hinder your child’s social, academic and psychological development. Not surprisingly, challenging behaviour is the main reason why families first contact us.
If your child is displaying challenging behaviour, conventional parenting methods are unlikely to be effective. Specialist interventions to identify the communication problems and environmental, physical and psychological factors behind the challenging behaviour patterns is most likely required.
We have years of experience of successful behaviour modification programmes for children. Our experienced and highly trained behaviour analysts and psychologists will undertake a detailed assessment of your child, identifying the key problem areas and designing a programme of interventions for your child.
Using Verbal Behaviour and Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), we will help your child to replace problem behaviours with healthy, age appropriate behaviour patterns and ways of communicating and relating to others.
Even if your child is abusive, violent, non compliant and displayed challenging behaviour over a long period of time, the right intervention can make all the difference.
Please click here for some case stories of families we have helped.
Parents often want to obtain a diagnosis when they suspect a problem with their child, but many children with behaviour problems are unable to get a diagnosis and, in many cases do not require one. We have a particular passion for helping those families that fall just below the threshold for getting help on our health system. And we can help you look at all the options available to you, giving you professional guidance on how to best help your child.
The degree of intensity, duration, and implementation of any behavioural intervention should be tailor-made to suit the child’s needs. We also ensure that your child doesn’t become dependent on the support provided throughout the intervention- and we gradually fade this support out, leaving you with a child who behaves and interacts just like the other children of the same age.
Your involvement as parents is crucial; your commitment to implement our recommendations day in day out will directly impact the progress your child makes.
The starting point is a detailed observation on your child. This involves collecting data which will form the basis of the strategy we put into place to help your child. One of our Behaviour Analysts will spend a day observing your child in a range of settings, including at school, at home and at other social settings such as at a party or play date. We will also gather detailed information from you as parents and from other professionals working with your child, enabling us to understand the full picture. This will enable us to identify the behaviour problems at source and to tackle them effectively and appropriately.
We then present our observations to you in a written report, video report or face to face, depending on what works best for you. We will give you an honest, impartial assessment of you your child’s skills, successes, challenges and struggles and will propose detailed interventions for helping your child, including costs and time scales. If we advise you that you don’t need our services at this time we will explain why and tell you the next steps that you can take.
Once you are happy to proceed, we get started with implementing the interventions. Whether your child’s programme lasts two weeks or two years, we will be with you every step of the way providing the expertise, training and support you need to make it work.
Your child’s school may well have its own behavioural professional. NETwork Interventions works collaboratively with other professionals working with your child, seeking always to support and add value to the work of other professionals.
Added capacity: Your school’s behaviour specialist may be limited in the time he or she can allocate to a particular child. We are able to spend periods of time in different school environments as not every lesson or situation can be seen in one day. For example, if your child struggles in PE and numeracy, but these lessons aren’t on the same day, we will make sure that we are in school with your child on both days.
Specialist knowledge: We can access the latest research and specialist knowledge a school may be unable to access. Research advances in Behaviour Analysis are happening all the time and we are increasingly being asked by schools and Local Education Authorities (LEA’s) to provide workshops and research for staff, equipping them with the latest, scientifically validated research.
Combining home and school: We are able to take a look at the whole picture. By observing in multiple locations and creating programmes to address every area of the child's life, we will see a more rapid acquisition of skills resulting in a happier child.
Some children progress so rapidly in their behaviour that they go on to behave and interact just like other children of the same age. For some children this may not be possible although even children with the most severe behaviour problems can make huge gains.
The success of the programme is dependent on a range of factors of which your input and involvement is the most important one. Your commitment and determination to implement the changes on a day to day basis will directly determine the level of progress your child makes .
Some of the outcomes you can expect include:
A dramatic decrease in problem behaviours and the acquisition of new skills and healthy behaviour patterns, making for a happier family life and better relationships outside of the home.
Better social skills, leading to the development of stronger friendships and higher levels of confidence and self esteem.
An increase in compliance, resulting in more positive relationships within the family and with teachers, peers and other adults.
Better language and communication skills, reducing frustration and enabling your child to enjoy interacting with others.
Vastly improved behaviour at school leading to better academic performance and a happier child inside and outside of the classroom.
Improved social and communication skills and better behaviour, resulting in a better social life for your child, including more party invitations and play dates.
If a child does not have an accompanying diagnosis of for example, Autism or a developmental delay, we can expect to see improvements within the first week of implementation. Of course, this requires consistent implementation of the programme created specifically for you child, but if everyone works together we can see improvement very quickly.

Negotiations with Erdogan Failed - Putin Continues Grain Blackmail
Following the meeting of the leaders of Turkey and Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin refused to extend the agreement that allowed partial export of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea, which had been blocked by Russia after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
This was reported by AP.
The President of Russia rejected the agreement, emphasizing Moscow's demands regarding the export of agricultural products, including the removal of sanctions on Russian grain, mineral fertilizers, and the inclusion of banks in the SWIFT system.
Meanwhile, the international community and Ukraine consider such conditions unacceptable and reject Kremlin's blackmail.
The "grain deal" is of utmost importance, as Ukraine is one of the largest suppliers of wheat, barley, sunflower oil, and other agricultural products to Africa and countries in the Middle East and Asia, which rely on Ukrainian supplies.
Recall that on the eve, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan arrived for a meeting with Putin in the Russian city of Sochi. According to Erdogan, he planned to discuss in detail the possibility of Russia returning to the grain corridor.
At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the Kremlin was open to "negotiations on this issue." However, the dialogue with Russia turned out to be fruitless.
Recall that in February 2022, ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet blocked Ukrainian ports, preventing the export of agricultural products from Ukraine - one of the leading countries in the global market. After a series of efforts, international partners succeeded in partially unblocking Ukrainian ports.
However, on July 17, 2023, the Russian Federation announced its withdrawal from the grain agreement, citing "non-compliance with the part of the agreement related to Russia." The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it would open fire on civilian commercial vessels carrying Ukrainian grain, considering them military targets.
As noted by the UK Minister of Foreign Affairs, James Cleverly, such actions by the Kremlin will lead to the withdrawal of at least 23 million tons of Ukrainian food from the global markets.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that immediately after leaving the agreement, Russia began targeted missile strikes on Ukrainian port cities, including Odesa and Mykolaiv. This led to the destruction of infrastructure and the loss of tens of thousands of tons of grain in August alone.
After the closure of the Black Sea, Ukraine began to explore new opportunities for the export of its products. Thus, on July 25, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, Gabrielius Landsbergis, announced the possibility of exporting grain through five ports in the Baltic countries, namely Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.
Later, during bilateral negotiations between the Foreign Ministers of Croatia and Ukraine, the parties agreed on the export of Ukrainian agricultural products through Croatian ports on the Danube and the Adriatic Sea.
However, Russia is shelling Ukrainian ports, including those on the Danube.


Kenosha Public Museums are “Travel Green Wisconsin Destinations”
A couple of months ago, the Kenosha Public Museums audited their operations in terms of sustainability and filled out an application to be certified by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism as a Travel Green Wisconsin Destination.
Good news! They had enough ecological practices, and they were notified that their application was a success.
They are now a part of the sustainable travel movement, which is becoming more the norm than the exception. Having Travel Green certification will bring more people to their doors, and they will be advertised as such on their web site.
To earn green certification, applicants work their way through the Travel Green Wisconsin application. The first step is determining the baseline environmental performance assessment. The baseline collects information about the amount of energy, fuel, water, and solid waste that the business consumed during the last calendar year. Most of this information can be found by contacting the local utility company. Next, applicants commit to sustainable green business practices found within the Travel Green Wisconsin application.
These green practices include:
- Communication and Education (Customers, Employees, Public)
- Waste Reduction, Reuse, and Recycling
- Energy Efficiency, Conservation, and Management
- Water Conservation and Waste Water Management
- Air Quality
- Wildlife and Landscape Conservation and Management
- Local Community Benefits
Applicants submit an annual fee to participate in the program. An annual renewal is required to remain Travel Green Wisconsin-certified.
To create a green program comprehensive enough to be relevant across the diverse tourism industry, Travel Green Wisconsin decided to allow participants to be “ecopreneurial” and adopt the green practices that make the most sense for their operation.
“This comes at a great time,” said Dan Joyce, director of the Kenosha Public Museums. “In October, the Kenosha Public Museum starts the ‘Sustainable Shelter’ exhibit.” For more information on this exhibit, click here: Sustainable Shelter: Dwelling Within the Forces of Nature.
In the spirit of Wisconsin’s deep heritage of environmental stewardship, the Department of Tourism initiated Travel Green Wisconsin in 2006 to promote smart, environmentally friendly business practices. The program is the first state-sponsored sustainable travel green certification program in the nation and has become a model for sustainable travel efforts both nationally and internationally. As more and more travelers like you look to make your life a little greener, we hope you’ll appreciate and support the tourism businesses that are working hard to reduce their own environmental impact.

Abstract:Année de publication : 2010
We compute the reduced cosmic shear up to second order in the gravitational potential without relying on the small angle or thin-lens approximation. This is obtained by solving the Sachs equation which describes the deformation of the infinitesimal cross-section of light bundle in the optical limit, and maps galaxy intrinsic shapes into their angular images. The calculation is done in the Poisson gauge without a specific matter content, including vector and tensor perturbations generated at second order and taking account of the inhomogeneities of a fixed redshift source plane. Our final result is expressed in terms of spin-2 operators on the sphere and is valid on the full sky. Beside the well known lens-lens and Born corrections that dominate on small angular scales, we find new non-linear couplings. These are a purely general relativistic intrinsic contribution, a coupling between the gravitational potential at the source with the lens, couplings between the time delay with the lens, couplings between two photon deflections, as well as non-linear couplings due to the second-order vector and tensor components. The inhomogeneity in the redshift of the source induces a coupling between the photon redshift with the lens. All these corrections become important on large angular scales and should thus be included when computing higher-order observables such as the bispectrum, in full or partially full-sky surveys.


Early in its development, Korea lacked home-grown research and policy expertise needed to support the country's economic development. To address this, KDI was established in 1971 to conduct policy research and analysis on fundamental economic and social issues using scientific methods to support the nation's development efforts. It was the first of its kind in the republic's young history.
With financial assistance from the United States and the dedication of twelve aspiring Korean researchers, the institute made invaluable contributions in supporting Korea's early economic and social development by providing high quality and objective policy research and analysis.
For the past forty years, KDI has conducted rigorous research on a broad range of economic and social issues, from macroeconomics policy, fiscal policy, finance, welfare, labor, trade, competition policy, to the North Korean economy. To cope with the new challenges of a rapidly changing economy, the institute's role and responsibilities have expanded over the years, with the addition of the Economic Information and Education Center, the KDI School of Public Policy and Management, and the Public and Private Infrastructure Investment Management Center. The institute has also led Korea's efforts to take a greater role in the international development community, expanding its research and knowledge sharing activities and global footprint through the Center for International Development.
Korea emerged as a singular political entity after centuries of conflict among the Three Kingdoms of Korea, which were unified as Silla (57 BC – AD 935) and Balhae (AD 698 – 926). The united Silla was eventually succeeded by Goryeo in 935 at the end of the Later Three Kingdoms period. Goryeo, which gave name to the modern exonym "Korea", was a highly cultured state and created the Jikji in the 14th century. The invasions by the Mongol Empire in the 13th century, however, greatly weakened the nation, which forced it into vassalage. After the Yuan dynasty's collapse, severe political strife followed. Goryeo eventually fell to an uprising led by General Yi Seong-gye, who established Joseon in 1388.


Please take a moment to review our new 5×5.wirelesswatch.jp website. Indeed, The ®evolution Continues. Yoroshiku!
The ministry officially allocated the so-called ‘Platinum Band’ to SoftBank, launch target July 25th, details: http://bit.ly/AoNXwA
Congrats to SBM.. Watch the press conf. video in English running 80mins with Q&A [Eds]
Today SOFTBANK MOBILE Corp. (hereafter â€œSBMâ€) received the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications’ approval on its 900MHz band specific base station plan, which was submitted for approval on January 27, 2012. The purpose of this application was to cope with the dramatic increase of traffic, enhance coverage, and build a robust disaster-proof communication network. Upon this approval, SBM will start to construct the 900MHz mobile network. This band, also known as â€œPlatinum Band,â€œ will enable more efficient and wider coverage compared to the existing SBM band. Communication services using the 900MHz band are expected to launch on July 25, 2012.
The approved base station plan incorporates the installation of approximately 16,000 base stations in fiscal 2012, to be expanded up to 41,000 by fiscal 2016, providing 99.9% population coverage.
SOFTBANK CORP. initially forecasted consolidated capital expenditure of 1 trillion yen in 2 years (fiscal 2011 and 2012). Following this approval, the forecast has now been increased by 100 billion yen to 1.1 trillion yen in 2 years, and another 450 billion yen for fiscal 2013, representing an aggregate of 1.55 trillion yen in 3 years (fiscal 2011, 2012 and 2013).
Currently, 900MHz compatible handsets are iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2 (by Apple), etc., and these will be able to utilize the 900MHz communication service, which is expected to launch on July 25, 2012. The PANTONEÂ® 4 105SH (by SHARP) to be launched in March 2012, as well as all of the new handset models to be launched in the summer of 2012, are expected to be 900MHz compatible.
After the acquisition of Vodafone K.K. in 2006, SBM made a clear commitment to enhance the network, and double the number of base stations, which were 21,000 at the time of the acquisition, to 46,000 by August 2007. In accordance with the SoftBank Network Enhancement Initiative announced in March 2010, the number of base stations reached 180,000* as of today. SBM has been making every possible effort to enhance network coverage, including installing SOFTBANK Wi-Fi Spots at 240,000 locations nationwide, in order to improve its data communication service. In order to offer even higher speed data communication services, SoftBank 4G using 2.5GHz was also launched on February 24, 2012.
With the approval of the base station plan, SBM will utilize the wide coverage advantages of the platinum band to build a comprehensive communication environment and lifeline network which is robust and disaster-proof, not to mention handling the increasing traffic and introducing new communication technologies, such as LTE.

Fox News Flash top headlines for September 18
Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what’s clicking on Foxnews.com.
An arrest has been made in the shooting death of Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer, sources close to the investigation told Fox News on Monday.
Clinkunbroomer was shot on Saturday, Sept. 16 while he was in his patrol vehicle at an intersection in Palmdale and later “succumbed to his injuries,” authorities said.
Sources close to the investigation revealed to Fox News on Monday morning that an arrest has been made this morning. Another source told Fox News that a person of interest was identified Sunday and then taken into custody by the sheriff department’s Special Enforcement Bureau tactical team.
Police last night announced a reward of $250,000 for information leading to an arrest in the case.

Investigators had also released images of a vehicle — possibly a Toyota Corolla between the model years of 2006 to 2012 — sought in connection to the fatal attack.
“We really need your help,” Sheriff Robert Luna said during a news conference Saturday night. “We need to get this guy off the street — guy or guys. He ambushed and killed one of our deputies. We need your help to get him off the street.”
Surveillance video homicide investigators are aware of appears to show moments before Clinkunbroomer was shot in the back of the head and killed.
The video, obtained by FOX 11 Los Angeles, shows a black car pulling up to the left of a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s cruiser at a red light. It is not possible to see any shots fired, but the black vehicle drives away as the sheriff’s cruiser slowly rolls forward and then comes to a stop.
A citizen saw the deputy slumped in his cruiser in front of the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station in Palmdale and went inside the station to alert other deputies.
Clinkunbroomer was initially taken to the hospital in his cruiser, but an ambulance caught up with them on the way, according to FOX 11.

Luna later emphasized that LASD will use all its resources to bring the suspects responsible for Clinkunbroomer’s death to justice.
Clinkunbroomer was an eight-year veteran of LASD who served the Palmdale and Antelope Valley communities with “absolute distinction,” Luna said.
The deputy’s father and grandfather also worked for the sheriff’s department.
“I want to let to our community know Deputy Clinkunbroomer left his family tonight to serve our community. He laid everything on the line to serve us. He wore a uniform just like other @LASDHQ deputies wear, driving in a police car, and he was senselessly murdered tonight,” Luna last posted to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

If you’re uncomfortable around a dental drill, you’re not alone. Dental anxiety is a common issue and can prevent people from keeping up with dental treatment. Unfortunately, delaying regular dental...
It’s something you hear on a regular basis – drink less soda. The well-meaning healthcare providers and experts asking that we put down the Coke have our health in mind – and also our smiles.
You know that soft drinks aren’t the best thing for your teeth – but some are actually much more dangerous to your enamel than others.
Why Some Beverages are So Harmful to Your Enamel
Our mouths already contain harmful bacteria that work in our favor to eat the sugars that we consume on a daily basis. These bacteria get working energy from the sugars we eat, but also have negative consequences like the harmful acids they produce in the process. This acid damages our teeth and allows cavities to form in their place.
Many of the sweetened beverages that people consume every day are loaded with sugar – even more sugar than you might initially think.
The recommended daily sugar intake is 25 grams or 6 teaspoons for women, and 37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons for men, and sugar should make up no more than 10% of your daily calories.
Ready for the shocking statistics?
One 12 ounce can of Cola contains 39 grams of sugar which is more than the daily recommended amount for both men and women.
If you think you’re better off drinking liquids that are thought of as “healthy” or “all natural” think again. A single glass of apple juice or orange juice contains a similar amount of sugar to a can of soda. This information is especially important to remember if you are one who treats your little one to a sippy cup of apple juice as a “healthy” substitution to soda.
Hidden Sugars In Everyday Foods
Another statistic you may not realize is that sugar is all around us, even in foods that you may not view as a sugary treat. Many commonly consumed foods are unknowingly the largest contributors of sugar in your diet including:
- Low-fat food items
- Marinades and barbecue sauces
- Tomato sauce and ketchup
- Oatmeal and cold cereals
- Salad dressings
- Protein and meal replacement bars
Becoming aware of which foods and drinks that have hidden sugars is the first step in making healthier choices for you and your family. By taking the time to read nutrition labels before consuming a product, you can achieve many health benefits you might otherwise be missing and make more health conscious decisions when it comes to eating and drinking.
So What Should I Be Drinking and Eating?
Because changes in your mouth happen the minute you eat certain foods, what you eat and drink, and how often are important factors in your oral health. Bacteria in your mouth converts sugars and carbohydrates from what you ingest into acids, and those acids begin to attack your enamel immediately.
Making the right food and drink choices can go a long way in protecting your tooth enamel, and provide the calcium and phosphorus needed to remineralize your teeth. These foods and beverages are thought to protect tooth enamel:
- Chicken or other meats
- Plain sparkling water
- Unsweetened tea
The more often you eat and snack, the more frequently you are exposing your teeth to the harmful cycle of tooth decay. Avoid day-long sipping of drinks containing sugar which exposes your teeth to constant sugar.
Safe Ways to Drink Acidic or Sugary Options
Swap any bad eating and drinking habits with these helpful tips to prevent further tooth decay:
- Drink, don’t sip. Sipping gives the bacteria more time to eat the sugar and to create cavities. Drink quickly to give your body time to wash away the bad stuff. Try to drink sweetened coffees, teas or sodas in one sitting instead of sipping on them over a longer amount of time. If you give your child juice, have them drink it with meals only, and put only water in a sippy cup they might carry around during the day.
- Fluoride is your friend. If your community’s water is fluoridated, drink tap water to improve your dental health. Fluoride protects teeth and has reduced the number of cavities across the nation.
- Brush and clean between your teeth. Brush your teeth twice a day and clean between your teeth once a day. Ask your dentist about the best way to do this. Help all kids under the age of eight to brush and floss well, and be sure to visit to your dentist regularly.

Licence - temporary and occasional events
To authorise licensable activities at an event a temporary events notice (TEN) must be served on the local authority. Licensable activities include the following:
- sale by retail of alcohol
- provision of hot food or drink between 11pm and 5am
- provision of regulated entertainment
How to submit a TEN
We recommend that you submit your TEN through the GOV.UK online portal below - the benefit of this is that we will serve the TEN on the Police and Environmental Protection on your behalf.
Online - apply for a temporary event notice (TEN)
Alternatively, you can download a pdf and post it to us. If you choose to submit a TEN using this route please ensure you include a copy of the TEN for Environmental Protection, and post a copy to Thames Valley Police at Licensing, Thames Valley Police, Headquarters (South), Kidlington, OX5 2NX. Failure to do so will render the TEN as invalid.
The fee for a TEN is £21
You must be 18 years or older to give a TEN and can give a maximum of five TENs per year. If you are a personal licence holder, you can give a maximum of 50 TENs per year.
A premises can have a maximum of 15 TENs a year, with a maximum total of 21 days. The event must involve no more than 499 people at any one time and last no more than 168 hours, with a minimum of 24 hours between events.
The licensing authority can serve a counter notice if the TEN has not been properly served or if the permitted limits have been exceeded.
What the law says
The notice process
All TENs (standard or late) must be served within the permitted time limits on 3 authorities: the Licensing Authority, the Police and Environmental Protection.
Standard TENs must be served on all 3 authorities at least 10 clear working days before the date of the event. Late TENs must be served on all 3 authorities between 5 and 9 clear working days before the date of the event. Any TEN given less than five clear working days before the date of the event to which it relates will be returned as void and the activities to which it relates will not be authorised. NB If you submit the TEN through the GOV.UK online portal we will serve the TEN on the Police and Environmental Protection on your behalf. Please note that the working days do not include the day we receive the notice, or the day of the event. Any TEN submitted after 17:00 on a Friday and over a weekend will be deemed as being received on the next working day – usually the Monday except in the case of Bank Holidays.
How long will it take to process the notice?We aim to acknowledge your notice within two days of receiving it. Please contact us if you have not heard from us by the end of this period.
How to appeal
Any objections from the police or Environmental Protection must be served within three working days of receipt of the TEN.
If the Police or Environmental Protection object to a standard TEN, they may contact the premises user to discuss their objections and try to come to an agreement which will allow the proposed licensable activities to proceed. The TEN can be modified. If the notice is in connection with licensable activities at licensed premises, the licensing authority may also impose one or more of the existing premises licence conditions to the TEN. If there is no agreement, the licensing authority must hold a hearing to consider the notice (unless all parties agree that this is unnecessary). The licensing committee may decide to allow the licensable activities to go ahead as stated in the notice, or may serve a counter notice to prevent the event.
If the Police or Environmental Protection object to a late TEN, the event will be immediately vetoed. There is no provision for a hearing, the application of existing conditions nor is there a facility to appeal against the decision.
Complaints about temporary event notices
If you wish to complain that a temporary event notice is causing a nuisance such as noise, or if you believe that there has been a breach of licence conditions, please contact us so we can investigate. Information about reporting noise is on our noise nuisance page.

RTTNews - Crude oil dropped sharply on Wednesday after Energy Information Administration data revealed a sharp rise in weekly inventories. Oil closed at a 12-day low after reaching a three-week high earlier in the week.
Light sweet crude for September delivery dropped to $62.85 per barrel, down $4.38 on the session. Prices dipped as low as $62.70 earlier in the session after coming within a penny of $69 on Tuesday.
U.S. commercial crude oil inventories increased by 5.1 million barrels during the week ended July 24. Experts were looking for a build of about 1.1 million barrels. At 347.8 million barrels,
Total motor gasoline inventories decreased by 2.3 million barrels last week. Economists were looking for a drop of about 1.1 million barrels. Distillate fuel inventories increased by 2.1 million barrels. Experts were forecasting an increase of about 1 million barrels.
Late Tuesday afternoon, the American Petroleum Institute reported crude oil inventories increased by about 4.1 million barrels to 352.4 million in the week ended July 24. The API report is not as closely watched as the EIA data because participation in the API survey is voluntary.
The dollar saw strength versus the rival euro on Wednesday, further reducing oil's value as a hedge investment. The greenback climbed to a 10-day high against the European currency and challenged the 1.4000 mark after testing an eight-month low near 1.4300 earlier in the week.
In economic news on Wednesday, a Commerce Department report showed that durable goods orders fell by 2.5 percent in June following a downwardly revised 1.3 percent increase in May. Economists had expected orders to fall by 0.6 percent compared to the 1.8 percent increase originally reported for the previous month.
In the afternoon, the Federal Reserve's Beige Book report said that economic activity continued to be weak going into the summer, but noted that most of the 12 Fed districts indicated that the pace of decline has moderated or that activity has begun to stabilize.

Yelp Might Not Be Completely Useless: Yelpers hit back at the aforementioned baker with bad reviews. Here's some of what they wrote:
A gander at the recent Yelp entries for Sweet Cakes shows something far more chilling to a business owner than accusations of discrimination – it’s single stars. Lots and lots of single stars. A reviewer complains about the bakery’s “bigoted behavior,” after excoriating it because “Your cakes are dry and tasteless. Nobody ever likes your cakes.” A reviewer from Portland adds, “Stale, dry cupcakes. Also didn’t appreciate the homophobia.”
