Q.1: Will the momentum remain constant if some external force acts on the system? (1)
No. it is true only for an isolated system.
Q.2: The Earth moving round the Sun in a circular orbit is acted upon by a force, and hence work must be done on the Earth by this force. Do you agree with this statement? (1)
The statement is wrong. Work done is zero because the centripetal force cannot do any work on the earth.
Q.3: Suppose a cyclist is negotiating a curve of radius r with speed v . Write the conditions under which skidding will occur. (1)
Skidding will occur in the event of:
(a) v (the speed of the cyclist) being large.
(b) r being small
(c) The road surface being slippery.
Q.4: Why does a cricket player lower his hands while catching a ball? (1)
By lowering his hands, the cricket player increases the interval in which the catch is taken. This increase in time interval results in the less rate of change of momentum. Therefore, in accordance with Newton’s second law of motion, less force acts on his hands and the player saves himself from being hurt.
Q.5: Why do small bubbles have excess of pressure? (1)
Excess pressure in a bubble
Lesser the value of radius of bubble ( r ), greater is the excess pressure.
Q.6: Which of the following processes shown here is reversible? Name the other process. (1)
(a) Reversible process
(b) Cyclic process
Q.7: Can a simple pendulum experiment be conducted inside a satellite? (1)
Inside a satellite, the body is in a state of weightlessness So that the effective value of g is zero.
Thus, the pendulum will not oscillate at all, and therefore the experiment cannot be performed.
Q.8: Water in a closed tube is heated with one arm vertically placed above an arc lamp. The water will begin to circulate along the tube in the counter – clockwise direction. Is it true or false? (1)
False, water moves in a clockwise direction because on heating, water rushes from higher pressure area near B to lower pressure area near A.
Q.9: The acceleration- time graph for a body is shown in the given figure. Plot the corresponding velocity-time graph. (2)
The corresponding velocity- time graph is
Q.10: A body of mass 5 kg is acted upon by two perpendicular forces of magnitude 8 N and 6 N. Find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration. (2)
The two perpendicular forces acting on the body are shown below in the figure.
Direction of acceleration ( a ) will be the direction of force F , i.e.,
Q.11: A ball is dropped vertically from rest at a height of 12 m. After striking the ground, it bounces to a height of 9 m. What fraction of kinetic energy does it loose on striking the ground? (2)
Let m be the mass of the body.
When the body falls from some height, potential energy at the top equals the gain in kinetic energy. The body loses some kinetic energy and again rises to some different height.
∴ Percentage loss in K.E.
Q.12: If the angular momentum is conserved in a system whose moment of inertia is decreased. Will its rotational kinetic energy be also conserved? (2)
According to the law of conservation of angular momentum
Thus, the rotational kinetic energy of the system increases on decreasing its moment of inertia.
Q.13: Assuming that the Earth’s orbit is a circle of radius1.5 ´108 km . Calculate the mass of the sun. (2)
The change in the value of g at a height h above the Earth is same as at a depth d below it. If h and d are compared to the radius of the earth. What is the ratio (hd)? (2)
The gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the Sun provides the necessary centripetal force.
Substituting the values and simplifying, we get
We know that, g at height h is given by
And similarly, we have g at depth d is given by
But gh =gd
Q.14: (i) Distinguish between an isothermal and an adiabatic process.
(ii) Distinguish between an isochoric and isobaric processes. (2)
(i) An isothermal process is that process in which the temperature ( T ) of the system remains constant though other variables ( P and V ) may change.
Here, ΔT= 0
In an adiabatic process, the total heat content ( Q ) of the system remains constant though other variables ( P and T ) may change.
In this process, ΔQ= 0
(ii) A process in which volume ( V ) remains constant though other variables ( P and T ) may change, is called an isochoric process.
In this process, ΔV= 0
An isobaric process is that for which pressure (P) of the system remains constant though other variables (V and T) may change.
In this process, ΔP= 0
Q.15: A person is measuring the velocity of sound in an experiment. He found that velocity of sound increases by 61 cm/s for every 1o C. Show this mathematically. (2)
We know that,
Where , V0 ,Vt are the velocities of sound at T and T0 respectively.
Neglecting the higher power
Thus, the velocity of sound increases by 61 cm/s for every 1o C ( or 1 K ) rise in the temperature.
Q.16: A waterfall is 100 m high. How much warmer will the water be after the fall? Assume that all the work gets converted into the heat energy. Take the average value of g to be 980 cm/s2 .(2)
Since work done W = mgh
W =m * 980 * 100 * 100 ergs
∴ J = 4.2 * 107 ergs/cal
We know, heat energy
Q.17: It has been suggested that for liquids is a constant, with s being the surface tension and β the compressibility, show that K is not a dimensionless constant. (3)
We know that,
Thus, k is not a dimensionless constant, but is a constant with dimensions.
Q.18: It is easier to pull a lawn roller than to push it. Explain using the resolution of forces. (3)
W is weight of the lawn roller. When pushed by applying a force at an angleθ . F cosθ moves it forward while the apparent weight becomes W +F sinθ.
However when pulled, the apparent weight becomes W -F sinθ .
Since the force of friction is directly proportional to normal reaction (equal to apparent weight of the roller), it is more when it is pushed than when is pulled.
Q.19: A long playing record revolves with a speed of and has a radius of 15 cm.
Two coins are placed at 4 cm and 14 cm away from the centre of the record. If the coefficient of friction between the coins and the record is 0.15. Which of the two coins will revolve with the record? (3)
The coin will only revolve with the record if the maximum force due to friction is sufficient enough to balance the centripetal force.
Maximum force due to static force
Solving we get,
Thus, the coin placed at 4 cm will revolve with the record.
Q.20: A car drives along the straight level frictionless road by an engine delivering constant power. How is velocity of the car related to time elapsed? (3)
Power P = Fv
Integrating both sides, we get
Q.21: Prove that the impulse received during an impact is equal to the total change in momentum produced during the impact. (3)
We know that,
If the impact lasts for a small time dt and the momentum of the body changes from then,
varies with time and does not remain constant.
is a measure of the impulse of the force.
Let be the constant force during the impact, then
Thus, the impulse received during an impact is equal to the total change in momentum produced during the impact.
Q.22: While approaching a planet circling a distant star, a space traveller determines the planet’s radius to be half that of the Earth. After landing on the surface he finds the acceleration due to gravity to be twice that on the surface of the Earth. Find the ratio of the mass of the planet to that of the Earth. (3)
In case of the Earth,
In case of the planet,
Dividing these two equations, we get
But gp = 2ge
Thus the ratio of the mass of the planet to the mass of the Earth is 1/2 .
Q.23: Oil spreads over the surface of water, whereas water does not spread over the surface of oil. Why? (3)
The surface tension of water is more than that of oil. Therefore, when oil is poured over water, greater value of surface tension of water pulls the oil in all directions and as such it spreads on the water. On the other hand, when water is poured over oil, it does not spread over it because the surface tension of oil being less than that of water, it is not able to pull water over it.
Q.24: Two vessels of the same size are at the same temperature. One of them holds 1 kg of N2 gas and the other contains 1 kg of H2 gas.
(i) Which of the vessels contains more molecules?
(ii) Which of the vessels is under greater pressure and why?
(iii) In which vessel is the average molecular speed greater? How many times is it greater?(3)
(i) Hydrogen will have more. As 2 g of hydrogen contains N molecules, I kg of hydrogen contains molecules, where N = 6.023*1023 , In case of N2 , 28 g of nitrogen contains N molecules. Therefore, 1 kg of nitrogen contains
(ii) Vessel containing hydrogen will have more pressure.
Since M and V are the same in both the cases, therefore the pressure exerted by hydrogen is more than that by nitrogen.
Q.25: State the law of equipartition of energy. Show that the ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to specific heat at constant volume is 7/5 for a rigid diatomic molecule. (3)
In equilibrium, the total energy is equally distributed in all possible energy modes, with each mode having an average energy equal to 1/2kT. This is the law of equipartition of energy.
A diatomic molecule that can be taken as a rigid rotator with 5 degrees of freedom: 3 translational and 2 rotational. Using the law of equipartition of energy the total internal energy of a mole of such a gas is given by
Then molar specific heat at constant volume
and molar specific heat at constant pressure
Q.26: An old woman crossing the road was holding a purse. She was not able to walk. A pick pocket snatched away her purse. A school student of class XI saw this and tried to help the old lady. He informed the police inspector who stood nearby. The inspector chased the pick pocket, collected the purse from him and handed it over to the old lady.
(a) What values do you find in the school student?
(b) The police inspector is chasing the pickpocket on a straight road. The jeep is going at its maximum speed v. The pickpocket rides on a motorcycle when the jeep is at a distance d away and the motorcycle moves with a constant acceleration a. Show that the pickpocket will be caught if (4)
(a) The student is sympathetic towards others and is helping in nature, applied his presence of mind in solving the problems and knows how to use public services.
Pickpocket will be caught if s+d = vt
t should be real.
This is possible if
Q.27: A particle is thrown over a triangle from one end of a horizontal base that grazing the vertex falls on the other end of the base. If α and β be the base angles and θ the angle of projection, prove that tanθ = tanα+ tanβ (5)
(a) A balloon is ascending at the rate of 14 ms-1 at a height of 98 m above the ground, when a packet is dropped from it. After how much time and with what velocity does it reach the ground?
(b) Do the following two graphs represent same types of motion? Name the motion.
The statement in the question is shown in the diagram.
Where R is horizontal range.
From eq. (ii) and (iii)
Put (iv) in (i) , we get
(a) When the packet is dropped, it has a velocity of 14ms -1 in the upward direction. Taking the upward direction as +ve and down ward direction as -ve.
Considering only the +ve sign
v(t) = v(0) + at
Thus, the final velocity of the body is along the downward direction.
(b) Both the graphs represent non-uniform motion.
Ques 28: (i) Prove that the isothermal elasticity of a gas is equal to its pressure.
(ii) Prove that the adiabatic elasticity of the gas = γ * P , where P is pressure of the gas and being the specific heats of the gas at constant pressure and constant volume respectively. (5)
The difference between the length of a certain brass rod and that of steel rod is claimed to be constant at all temperatures. Is it possible? (5)
(i) Let there be a gas at constant pressure P and volume V . When the pressure increases from P to P + Δp , the volume decreases from V to V - ΔV.
When the gas is impressed isothermally, Boyle’s law holds good, i.e.
PV = constant,
Differentiating w. r. t. V , we get
Thus, the isothermal elasticity of a gas is equal to its pressure. When the gas is compressed adiabatically, we get
Differentiating w. r. t. V , we get
Thus, the adiabatic elasticity of a gas is γ times the pressure of the gas.
At a given temperature, let the length of the brass rod be L1 , and that of the steel rod be L2 . If L2 >L1 , the difference between the lengths = L2 - L1 = ΔL.
Let the temperature be raised to toC .
∴ Length of the brass rod at toC = L1+ L1α1t
Length of the steel rod at toC = L2+ L2α 2t
∴ Here α1 and α2 are the coefficients of brass and steel respectively.
Difference between the lengths of the rods at toC , say
The difference remains that same at all temperatures
Thus, the length of the rods must be inversely proportional to the linear coefficient of their materials.
Ques 29: If the earth were a homogeneous sphere and a straight hole bored in it through its center. Show that if a body were dropped into the hole, it would execute a simple harmonic motion. Also find its time period. (5)
(i) Derive an expression for finding the velocity of an approaching aeroplane using radar waves.
(ii) An ultrasonic wave of frequency 45, 000 Hz sent out by sonar shows a frequency rise of 600 Hz on reflection from an approaching submarine. If the velocity of sound in water is 1500 ms-1. Calculate the speed of the submarine. (5)
Let a body of man m be dropped in a straight hole in the Earth of them M and radius R . The body will be attracted towards the centre of the Earth with a force given by,
But F = mg
Where ρ is mean density of the Earth.
When the body is dropped into the straight hole and it falls through the depth d , the value of acceleration due to gravity at the point P is given by,
Where M ' is the mass of the sphere of radius ( R -d)
i.e., acceleration (in magnitude) of the body is proportional to the displacement from the centre of the earth O. Thus, the motion is SHM.
(i) The radar waves sent form the Earth strike the approaching aeroplane. Here the radar is a source which is stationary and the aeroplane is an observer which is moving towards the stationary source. We have to determine the velocity to the approaching plane.
∴ Apparent frequency, =
Where n is the velocity of the radar waves and vs is the velocity of the aeroplane.
Now the aero plane receives waves of frequency n ' and acts as a source moving towards stationary observer, i.e. radar on the Earth. Since on reflection, the frequency does not change, the aero plane will reflect waves of frequency n'.
∴ Apparent frequency received by the radar is given by,
Using the binomial theorem as
Thus, velocity of an approaching aero plane is
(ii) Substituting the values given in the above expression, we have
Thus, the speed of the submarine is 10 m/s .

Enrolling on this platform will allow users to benefit from more profound access to the community-based curation for content and NFTs.
Next Scheduled Phase of the Public Sales for Round A
NFTmall phase for round A public sales was supposed to occur on 15th May, but the schedule was canceled for further organization of the public sale rounds with the “Know Your Customer” (KYC), which was essentially the entire process. Now, the anticipated phase is scheduled for 20th May 2021 at precisely 14:00 UTC. For more quality services, the NFTmall platform integrates the KYC partner KYcaid, which is essential in running the public sale rounds as per the laid-out regulations.
For the success of the round A of the public sales, the key stakeholders should note the following information. First, all members taking part in the process are supposed to submit their entries in the related form, the whitelisted form. Additionally, participants should know that 1,000,000 $GEM are set aside for round A sales standing at $0.75. The procedure for carrying out the whitelisting and the “Know Your Customer” aid will only grant any successful address that has been wholly whitelisted to participate in the mentioned exercise. Regarding the privatized rounds of sales A, although the whitelisting Practice shuts down on Tuesday, May 18, 2021 at precisely 18:00UTC, the user still has the opportunity to go through the KYC procedure and whitelist themselves to participate in Public Sale round A while its open till 22nd May or reaching the hard cap.
Non-Fungible Tokens are now a popular trend in the crypto community, as celebrities and various businesses are talking about launching their own NFTs like Cinedigm Corp. (NASDAQ: CIDM) which has a $200M Market cap on NASDAQ and distributes digital cinema recently announced the launch of a new NFT-based film label dedicated to releasing limited editions NFT’s

CA will look to other states for career readiness answers
(Calif.) After spending much of the last two years trying to invent the best way to measure student readiness for the work place, California officials appear finally willing to consider what other states are doing.
In developing a new system for measuring student and school success, the state board of education has been almost defiant in positioning the new program overall as being specific to California standards and California priorities—even at the risk of a challenge from the Trump administration.
But in a memo released last week, staff at the California Department of Education recommended that the board concede that other states—specifically Florida, Georgia and Kentucky—may have already found the answers when it comes to career readiness.
A study earlier this year identified all three of the southern states as national leaders in defining and measuring when students are ready for the workplace (see Cabinet Report, April 27, 2017).
California has earned national recognition for the development of an accountability system that is based on multiple measures. A web-based dashboard for communicating district and school performance was unveiled for the public earlier this year.
But because of a lack of valid and reliable data to back up career readiness measures, that part of the dashboard has been left incomplete. For the 2017-18 school year, workplace readiness will be measured only by the number of students at a school or district that have completed a career technical education pathway.
An advisory group that had been looking at the issue for the past year is recommending that state board begin looking at ways to collect needed data in three areas: work-based learning, internships and industry certifications.
The panel also suggests that the state consider including the following measures as part of the career readiness indicator:
- Articulated Courses
- State Seal of Biliteracy
- Stand-Alone Courses
- Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC)
- Military Courses or Acceptance to Military
The CDE also said that they would be consulting with officials in other states about career-focused accountability measures.
California is by no means alone in its struggle. A report in April from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found 15 states either have no method for measuring career readiness, or ones that they called “ambiguous.”
The university team found just 11 states with specific methods for the rating.
Georgia was found to have the most extensive approach to prepare students for the workforce that begins in first grade and intensifies through grade 12 through comprehensive in-class lessons, assessments and job trainings in 96 different career pathways.

Benefits Street live debate to follow controversial Channel 4 series finale
Observational documentary set in a deprived area of Birmingham will conclude with an interactive discussion about welfare and benefits chaired by Richard Bacon
Channel 4 is to air an interactive live debate following the final episode of controversial observational documentary Benefits Street on 10 February.
Chaired by Richard Bacon, the hour-long discussion will assemble a panel representing “views across the political spectrum”, and will also incorporate questions and opinions from the viewers.
Benefits Street, which charts the lives of residents on James Turner Street in the Winson Green area of Birmingham, has been the subject of intense media debate and criticism since its first aired earlier this month.
Some viewers and local residents have complained the show is not representative of the area or of benefits claimants in general. A local neighbourhood watch leader, Mark Jastrzebski, told the BBC; “I think it’s disgraceful the way we’ve been portrayed.
“It’s a poverty-stricken area but there’s a Benefits Street in every city.”
Other local residents complained to Radio 4’s Today Programme that they’ve been cut from the show because they are not on benefits.
However, Channel 4’s Head of Factual, Ralph Lee, has defended the show that was filmed over a course of 12 months in the street.
Said Lee: “This is a series which reflects the reality of day-to-day life for some of the residents of a single street who, for the most part, rely on benefits to survive. It does not and never has set out to reflect the experiences of every person who receives benefits yet it has triggered a national debate about state welfare at a time in which further welfare reforms are being proposed. We feel it is timely to provide a forum in which these issues can be raised and discussed.”
The announcement of the live debate comes the day after a public meeting was called in the Winson Green area to discuss the impact of the documentary.
Executive producer of the show, Hayley Valentine, welcomed the live discussion and said it would have a positive impact and help to contextualise the series.
She said: "It is vital that voices on all sides are heard, and we are pleased to be providing a forum for both public figures and viewers to debate the series that has brought a pertinent political issue to life so vividly."

How to Increase Chances of Winning the Lottery
There’s no empirical evidence that lottery businesses deliberately target low-income neighborhoods. Indeed, marketing to poor people would be counterproductive from a business and political standpoint. Moreover, most people buy lottery tickets outside their neighborhoods. Even high-income workers and shoppers tend to bypass low-income neighborhoods. Moreover, areas with a low-income population have few lottery outlets and relatively few stores and gas stations.
Statistical analysis of lottery winnings
Statistical analysis of lottery winnings can be a useful tool to determine jackpot amounts and identify patterns of lottery winners. This information can then be used to select winning numbers from a database. There are several different strategies that have been found to be effective when selecting winning numbers. Each of these strategies works in a different way and can help you find winning numbers that will increase your chances of winning the jackpot.
First, a statistical analysis of lottery winnings can help you determine if you are playing the correct numbers. By using past results, you can see what numbers have a higher probability of winning. This data will show you which numbers are more likely to win in future games.
Per capita spending by African-Americans
The study finds that African-Americans spend more on lottery games than other races. While their overall gambling rates are lower, they have higher rates of frequent gaming and problem gambling. According to Welte et al., black lottery players spend more than whites and play the lottery more than ten days a year.
The Howard Center analyzed lottery data from half the states. It found that blacks spend nearly five times more than whites on lottery tickets. High school dropouts spend four times as much as college graduates. The Howard Center commissioned detailed customer studies from half of the states to better understand the lottery market. For example, the Massachusetts lottery realized that frequent players make up 40% of its sales. Among these frequent players, the average player reported spending about $200 a week.
Economic arguments for and against lotteries
The economic arguments for and against lotteries have many components. Lotteries are seen by opponents as a waste of taxpayer dollars, but supporters say they have many public policy benefits. These programs often benefit local businesses and prevent crime. In addition, many lottery players are middle-class or low-income, and the money they spend on tickets never yields a profit.
Moreover, lottery play is popular, with over half of adults buying a lottery ticket at one time. This makes the lottery one of the most common forms of state-sponsored gambling. As such, lotteries generate significant amounts of revenue for public-sector programs. Furthermore, most lottery players play responsibly and donate the proceeds to local projects. This makes the lottery a good social force, especially for lower-income groups.
Strategies to increase odds of winning
One of the best strategies to increase odds of winning the lottery is to participate in a syndicate. These are groups of people that all chip in a small amount to purchase many lottery tickets. You and other syndicate members should sign contracts stating that you will split the winnings equally. This way, no one will end up leaving with nothing.
If you have a lot of money, you should consider helping others. You don’t have to be a social butterfly, but it’s always nice to help those less fortunate. This is not only the right thing to do from a societal perspective, but it will be a rewarding experience for you. After all, money doesn’t make you happy, but it can provide you with the means to do what makes you happy.

U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) met May 9 with international human rights and trafficking experts and local community leaders to discuss the kidnappings of hundreds of schoolgirls in Nigeria, efforts to end human trafficking and crimes against women and girls, and the fight for equal treatment and opportunity for young women across the world.
Among those attending the private roundtable discussion in Newark were Melanie Roth Gorelick, director of the Community Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ and facilitator of the NJ Coalition Against Human Trafficking.
The plight of the 276 schoolgirls kidnapped by the radical Muslim militant group Boko Haram became the focus of a meeting originally called to discuss global economic and leadership opportunities for women.
“Rather than talking about what matters so much to every woman — a good education leading to a good job that will help them build a better life for themselves and their families — I feel compelled to turn attention to the mothers in Nigeria who sent their girls to school to learn and today are hoping for nothing more than to bring their daughters home,” Menendez said before the closed-door meeting, at a press conference that also included Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ).
Earlier this week, as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Menendez wrote to Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, calling on him to demonstrate leadership and to work closely with the United States and partners in the international community to determine what assistance is needed now. Menendez also cosponsored a resolution, which passed the Senate, that condemns the kidnappings, asserts the right of girls everywhere to an education, and calls for timely international assistance to Nigeria to help with the rescue effort.
On May 8, he introduced the International Violence Against Women Act, which would make combating violence against women and girls a top U.S. foreign policy priority.
“I believe in economic empowerment not just as the centerpiece of our domestic policy, but American foreign policy,” Menendez continued. “I believe in gender equality and investing in women and girls as part of our shared economic goals of prosperity, stability, and peace. And I believe that we must do everything in our power to end trafficking and bring traffickers, wherever they are, to justice.”
Other attendees included Ousseina Alidou, director of the Rutgers Center for African Studies; assistant state Attorney General Tracy M. Thompson, chair, NJ Human Trafficking Task Force; Mohamed El Filali, executive director, CAIR-NJ; Meryl Frank, former U.S. ambassador to the UN Commission on the Status of Women (Ret.); and Sarah McDonald and Sophia Seidenberg, juniors at Montclair High School and members of Girls Learn International.

I really like the idea of a totally handmade Christmas and had great plans of achieving this for Christmas gifts this year, however, I have found there is never enough hours in the days to make all my ideas come to life, but I did manage to get a few gifts completed.
I really love that I was able to use my own fabric designs with my own coin purse pattern to make a truly unique, original, handmade item.
My collection of coin purses using my own fabric designs, most were made with 100% cotton, two were with linen/cotton mix and all have fleece interfacing.
A fabric design from the Moa Collection on Linen/Cotton mix.
Really like this cute, fun purse, thinking of doing different colourways for this fabric design.
2013 UK and Ireland Tea Towel Calendar, printed on linen/cotton mix.
I couldn’t part with this one, I was meant to give it for a gift but have gifted this to myself as I need a little bit of home on my sofa, or in this instance, in my case!
I am hoping next year I will be able to make more gifts, I just need to start a bit earlier than I did this year!

Tamoxifen Prevents Breast Cancer in Some
Helps Women at High Risk for Hormone-Dependent Breast Cancer
WebMD News Archive
"One very important message is that every woman over 40 ought to discuss her level of risk with her physician," says Vogel, who directs the breast cancer prevention program at the University of Pittsburgh. "And the 15% to 20% of women who are truly at increased risk should be referred for a formal risk assessment to determine if they are candidates for preventive therapy."
Vogel says tamoxifen, while effective, is not the ideal drug for preventing breast cancer. The osteoporosis drug Evista may be just as effective without increasing the risk of uterine cancer. The two drugs are currently being compared in a study involving approximately 19,000 women at high risk for breast cancer, and findings are expected in about four years. And a new class of drugs, known as aromatase inhibitors, is also showing promise as a preventive treatment in early trials.
"It is a pretty safe bet that within the next few years, as the studies come in, preventive treatments will be safer and more effective," Vogel tells WebMD.

The Flash #36 offers more of the dual narrative storytelling that has characterized the title since writers Robert Venditti and Van Jensen took over writing duties back in issue #30. This latest installment of The Flash sees more of Barry Allen and his future self, only now it is the titular hero that must battle his way to the present. Unfortunately, it looks to be more of a challenge for the heroic Barry, who finds himself trapped within the Speed Force. With dinosaurs. Meanwhile, the Future Flash begins living Barry’s life, repairing his tense relationships with Patty, Iris, and Wally. He’s also de-aged because of the Speed Force, and a bit more murderous.
There are two pencilers on this issue, with Brett Booth focusing on the Speed Force segments and Andre Coehlio handling those which star the Future Flash. Though Booth does an admirable job in his assigned area (and does he draw dinosaurs really well), it is Coehlio’s work that really shines. He makes this version of Barry Allen look like a slimey schemer – an unnerving revelation given Barry’s “nice guy” personality. His occasional smirks can make the reader’s skin crawl, especially when it comes to his interaction with Patty. Unfortunately, there are instances in which Future Flash (in costume) falls a little flat due to an awkwardly rendered mask.
Booth’s art maintains both its consistency and its dynamic nature as battle-worn Barry fights for survival. Those that do not enjoy the aesthetic look of his style may be turned off. However, beyond that are clean layouts and richly detailed panels that flesh out the issue’s settings. Like Coehlio, his character work is very expressive, which allows the reader to understand the shock or fear Barry is feeling on any particular panel.
For the most part, the script by Venditti and Jensen is character focused, with trapped-in-the-Speed-Force Barry acclimating to his new environment and future-but-in-the-present Barry reconnecting emotionally with Patty, Iris, and Wally. While Future Barry’s interactions with Patty and Iris can range from creepy to frustrating as the reader knows they’re being duped, the moments between him and Wally come across as genuine. Perhaps for the first time since his introduction, Wally is a likable, sympathetic character to the readers. Given the backlash that has persisted against this version of Wally, that’s quite a feat.
One has to wonder what the endgame for Venditti and Jensen’s story is. This issue marks the ninth part in their current story, and there does not appear to be an emotional hook to keep readers invested. The previous creative team’s run held to a theme of “moving forward” that was evident from their first issue to their last – a theme which this current story arc has contradicted. Barry has been cutoff from his supporting cast, first emotionally and now physically, resulting is an increased difficulty for readers to connect to him. Both Iris and Wally West have been made to be unlikable, a stark contrast to their past incarnations both pre- and post-Flashpoint. Lastly, Patty Spivot – the titular character’s main love interest – has been practically non-existent since issue #30 other than for a few panels to yell at Barry. With a cast of characters that are currently abrasive to readers, Venditti and Jensen are making it difficult to stay invested for the long-term.

Students taking the Design for Sustainability paper, within the School of Art and Design have created a solitary bee hotel on the North campus. Generally, solitary bees don't live in hives, like honeybees. They are often native bees and make nests to lay eggs. Many native bees are the most effective at pollinating native plants, such as manuka, kanuka and pohutukawa.
The students were given a design brief by Senior Lecturer, Dr Amabel Hunting and Rory Chacko, Estates Operations Manager to:
- Create a physical environment that supports solitary bee life
- Educate people about what they can do to support solitary bees; and
- Design a response that takes into consideration the needs of bees and people.
The students formed teams and the best ideas from each of the teams were combined to produce a home that is sympathetic to solitary bees.
Dr Hunting said, "the solitary bee project enabled the students to learn about systems thinking in a practical and applied way. The opportunity to design a response that had real-world implications resulted in a high level of engagement in the classroom and well-developed design responses. They also had a lot of fun and many have commented about how passionate they have become about bees and the importance of considering the ecological aspect in their future designs."
For more information about native bees visit For the love of bees
You can support bees by planting bee-friendly plants that produce nectar and pollen and not spray pesticides in your garden.

The Saudi-Iraqi Business Forum got underway in Riyadh on Monday, with a wide participation of ministers, officials and businessmen in the two countries.
Emphasizing a new page of comprehensive cooperation at all levels, Saudi and Iraqi ministers announced the signing of a power linkage agreement to enhance regional electricity trade, in addition to renewable energy projects and opportunities for joint investments in the oil, gas, agriculture, petrochemicals and smart cities sectors.
Highlighting the supportive political will, Saudi Minister of Commerce Dr. Majid Al-Qasabi pointed to the factors of growth and prosperity for Saudi-Iraqi economic relations.
He stressed the need to launch an annual joint business forum and to establish a database of investment opportunities available in both countries, as well as to develop a joint action plan to translate aspirations and hopes into real opportunities that contribute to strengthening trade and investment relations.
Dr. Hamid Al-Ghazi, Secretary-General of the Iraqi Council of Ministers, affirmed the Iraqi government’s support for the Saudi-Iraqi Coordination Council to open a new page in the historical relations.
The pillars of Saudi Vision 2030 are a major starting point for the strategic partnership between the two countries, he emphasized, adding that the Green Middle East Initiative, the Green Saudi Arabia and the Green Belt Project in Iraq present important areas of cooperation.
Ghazi noted that a delegation from the Iraqi ministry of Agriculture will visit the Kingdom next week to discuss opportunities for cooperation and partnership in the fields of agriculture, irrigation systems and manufacturing industries.
The political will in the two countries is real and serious towards developing economic relations, he said. This is confirmed by the growth in the volume of trade exchange by 15 percent last year, according to the Iraqi official.
The participants in the Saudi-Iraqi Forum, organized by the Federation of Saudi Chambers, reviewed investment opportunities in promising economic sectors, while the forum witnessed the signing of a number of agreements and memoranda of understanding between Saudi government and private agencies, in several vital areas.
Ajlan Al-Ajlan, President of the Federation of Saudi Chambers, stressed the importance of consolidating Saudi-Iraqi ties to become a distinguished model of a successful trade and investment partnership.
According to Al-Ajlan, Iraq ranks 11th among Arab countries in the volume of trade exchange with Saudi Arabia, noting that these numbers were to some extent motivating, but were not commensurate with the historical relationship between the two countries, and do not reflect the aspirations of both sides.

One of Julian Simon's last works-in-progress--cut short just before completion by his death in early 1998-- The Great Breakthrough and Its Cause explores the question of why human progress accelerated in Western Europe starting around 1750. Why did life expectancy, the household consumption level, speeds of travel and communication, the literacy rate, and other aspects of the standard of living leap above those in the previous centuries and millennia? What forces caused this extraordinary development to occur when it did--or even to occur at all--rather than centuries or millennia earlier or later? Simon answers this question by arguing persuasively that the total quantity of humanity--and the nexus of human numbers with technology--has been the main driving force behind what he calls "Sudden Modern Progress." Further, he continues, if population numbers had risen more rapidly than they did, the "Great Breakthrough" would have occurred earlier. He also asserts...

CBRE Group arranges $19.5 million sale of four-acre development site in Jersey City
JERSEY CITY, NJ — CBRE Group, Inc. announced it has arranged the sale of a four-acre development site in Jersey City for $19.5 million. The property is comprised of an assemblage of underutilized buildings, including a large warehouse distribution facility, several multifamily homes, Puccini’s Restaurant – a landmark establishment – and associated parking. The seven-lot assemblage is located at 1075 W. Side Ave., 1072 W. Side Ave., 1064 W. Side Ave., 54 Broadway and 153 Corbin.
Charles Berger and Robert L’Abbate of CBRE Capital Markets’ Investment Properties team in New Jersey, and Elli Klapper of CBRE Capital Markets’ Investment Properties team in New York represented the seller and procured the buyer in the transaction. The team worked alongside local Jersey City brokers Robert Antonicello and Robert Antonicello, Jr.
The buyer, an out-of-state investor, plans to develop the four-acre site into a mixed-use complex comprised of more than 500 residential units, as well as ground-floor retail, which will enhance greatly the area’s streetscape. The property is ideally located just blocks from the Journal Square transportation hub and the proposed PATH stop in the Marion section of Jersey City.
“Jersey City is one of the hottest markets in the Tri-State area, with Journal Square specifically being the key focus right now for investors,“ said Berger. “This sale has set a record on a price-per-unit basis in the Journal Square area and, based on all of the deals we’re working on, that record likely will not stand for long. In the last two months alone, our team has closed approximately $30 million in property sales in the Journal Square area.”
The record-setting project is one of 30 developments underway in Journal Square and its close vicinity. This list includes the Canco Lofts, 25 Senate Place and the recently completed Mana Arts Center, all of which are in the immediate area of this four-acre project.

Below you will find some frequently asked questions about ABA and the benefits for children. If you have a question that is not listed here please email Info@vbsinc.ca
What is Autism (ASD)?
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication challenges and rigid, repetitive behaviours. Autism is a spectrum disorder; meaning that each individual with autism has their own unique challenges and strengths.
Is ABA only for young children with ASD?
Absolutely not! Since ABA is the science of behaviour it literally applies to anyone (or anything) who engages in behaviour. It can be applied to anyone, regardless of a diagnosis or of their age.
What is Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)?
ABA is the science of behaviour focusing on understanding and changing behaviour. ABA is founded in a set of behavioural principles used to change behaviour and understand how the environment affects behaviour. The basic idea is to understand the antecedent (what happens before a behaviour occurs) and the consequence (what happens after a behaviour occurs) in order to determine the appropriate intervention to either increase or decrease a target behaviour or to teach a brand new skill. Of course, it can easily and quickly get much more complicated than that!
Why is parent training important?
Parents who use and understand the principles of ABA can have a dramatic influence on their child/youth’s success with learning and in targeted behaviour change. Understanding how to change their child/youth’s behaviour increases a parent's feeling of empowerment. It also has an incredible impact on the learning for their child/youth. Recognizing that the parent-child relationship is lifelong and that children spend a lot of their time with their parents really highlights the importance of parents understanding and using ABA with their child/youth on a daily basis. Although parents are not “therapists” they can definitely learn a lot about how to positively support their child at home and in the community.
What is the difference between ABA and IBI?
As we already know, ABA is the science of behaviour change. Intensive Behaviour Intervention (IBI) is simply the intense application of ABA principles. Typically IBI occurs as an early intervention for individuals with ASD. IBI is implemented by trained professionals for at least 20 hours per week with the goal to help the child close the learning gap between them and their peers
What is a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA)?
The Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA®) is a graduate-level certification in Behavior Analysis. Professionals certified at the BCBA level are independent practitioners who provide Behavior Analysis services” (BACB, 2020). A BCBA is an expert in the field of Behavior Analysis, specializes in behavior management, and who develops a variety of individualized behaviour analytic interventions.
How will ABA help my child/youth?
I think it would be easier to answer the question, how could it not? ABA can be used to teach new behaviours, increase positive behaviours that your child/youth should do more often, and decrease behaviours that aren’t so great. It’s important to keep in mind that each intervention/behaviour program should be individualized to the child/youth it is designed for. ABA is not a cookie cutter approach and does not need to be implemented solely in a clinical setting.
Is ABA effective for children/youth with ASD?
ABA is not only the most commonly used therapy for individuals with autism, it is considered the gold standard. ABA has been around for decades and has grown to become a therapy that can target learning goals and behaviour changes which, otherwise, were not possible.
Does my child need to have autism to benefit from ABA?
Absolutely not! The principles of ABA apply to behaviour change in everyone! It is advised that when looking for support in ABA therapy you find a BCBA who has experience in the target areas and potential diagnosis your child/youth may have.
Where are you located
Our home base is located in historic Amherstburg, Ontario! Our VBS In-Home Services are only offered to parents and families who live within Windsor-Essex.
Common misconceptions about ABA
ABA does not need to be completed at a table in a clinical setting. Many people with limited knowledge of ABA assume that it is a regimented, rigid therapy. Frankly, this is untrue. The principles of ABA can be implemented throughout the day, in natural situations to help individuals be successful.
ABA does not need to be implemented by an expert. It is advised that behaviour change programs be developed and overseen by a BCBA but, with the proper clinical guidance parents can affect amazing changes with their own child/youth. With an increase in waitlists for ABA therapies becoming all too common, parents can work with a BCBA to take the reins of their child’s learning and development.

Title: Evaporation Loss Measurement For Storage Tanks
Author: Warren A. Parr, Jr.
Source: 2007 International School of Hydrocarbon Measurement
Year Published: 2007
Abstract: In the 1950s hydrocarbon evaporation loss from storage tanks was studied to develop emission estimating equations. At that time, the primary driver for knowing the evaporation rate was system loss control. During the early 1990s, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began programs for stricter record keeping and reduction of storage tank emission. This forced industry to scrutinize the accuracy of existing evaporation loss estimating equations and to develop improvements to various tank appurtenances in an effort to lower hydrocarbons emissions. Much of the EPA activity was focused on floating roof tanks. This paper will review: Sources of emissions from floating roof tanks Research and development to improve emission loss equations Testing of existing fittings Testing of design improvements to lower emissions Development of EPA approved test protocol for improved equipment designs Future areas of emission research in floating roof tanks In order to help the reader follow the organization and sequence of events of this paper, the major topics listed above will be listed in bold underlined capital print. The subsections within each major section will be in capital print only.

Talking about Rock without mentioning AC/DC would be like discussing nuts and bolts without quoting Monsieur Bricolage (sorry for the reference, I'm tired!).
So your AC/DC, do you prefer it with Bon Scott (died in 1980) or with Brian Johnson? Both my general! Where the first singer brought this blues touch to the saturated rock of the Young brothers, the second definitively installed the group in hard-rock.
What strikes you immediately when you listen to them play is this ultra square rhythmic, never faulted where Angus Young can place brilliant guitar parts and the singer shout out "high in color" texts taken up by entire stadiums. .
Whoever has never stamped their foot when they hear a song from this group throws me the first can!

Best Men’s Watch — Chopard L.U.C XPS 1860
When Karl-Friedrich Scheufele set out to bring the Chopard name back to haute horlogerie in 1996, with the creation of a new manufacture for the L.U.C line in Fleurier, the horological world was a very different place.
Technical innovation might have existed in some quarters here and there, but it was not to the scale that we know of and see today. Scheufele, however, was driven by a passion for watchmaking that could not be denied, and with a fervent wish to honor the watchmaking genius of the brand’s founder, Louis-Ulysse Chopard, the ambitious project to build this new collection from scratch was begun.
The first-ever watch that signaled the scale of his ambition would come with technical features not seen together before, combining a long power reserve, a micro-rotor for the aesthetics it allowed in showcasing movement finishing, and a stability that would make it COSC-certifiable. The genius move that allowed these features to come together in the first in-house caliber 96.01-L of the L.U.C line was the stacking of twin barrels, which at a stroke solved the problem of space for a micro-rotor and allowed capacity for the long power reserve that was required.
This movement was placed in the very first L.U.C watch — the L.U.C 1860 — the foundational model that would herald 20 years of technical achievements in watchmaking in the ever-expanding L.U.C line.
Against the backdrop of such a history, therefore, it is easy to see why the XPS 1860, a re-edition of the original watch but in a modern size with an ultra-thin case, is our choice for Men’s Watch of the year.
It has everything a man needs in a watch, with the added gravitas of a legendary movement within still fit for purpose and competitive in the industry even after so many years.
Available in two versions, the rose-gold one comes with the caliber 96.01-L, which bears the prestigious Poinçon de Genève (Geneva Seal). However, it is the stainless-steel version that showcases the generous side of Chopard, being a lower-priced alternative with the same, albeit less decorated, movement, allowing watch lovers of all stripes to celebrate the technical achievement that this watch represents, without the barrier of price.


BERLIN — Scientists say one-third of the ice stored in Asia’s glaciers will be lost by the end of the century even if the world manages to meet its ambitious goal of keeping global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, affecting water supplies for millions of people on the continent.
In a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature, researchers in the Netherlands also examined what would happen if average global temperatures rise beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of the century. They concluded that almost two-thirds of the ice in Asia’s glaciers could vanish, if no effort is made to curb climate change.

“In regions where glacier melt water is an important part of the river flow, the retreating glaciers can become a problem,” Philip Kraaijenbrink, a University of Utrecht geographer who led the study, said.
“There are many people living in basins that have their rivers originating in Asia’s high mountains, such as the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra,” Kraaijenbrink said. “In these basins, the river water is used for irrigation of cropland, drinking water and for hydropower dams.”

This paper describes the context of Canadian immigration and immigrants` labour market outcomes, and explores trends in both over time. Fortunately, there is a wealth of research regarding the question of why earnings have declined among immigrants to Canada. Employment outcomes of immigrants to Canada have been much less studied. In this latter case we are restricted to providing basic facts, and hypotheses regarding the causes of the SwedishCanadian differences mentioned above.
This paper outlines potential causes of the observed gap in outcomes, to the extent that they are known, and asks what the implications might be for the Swedish experience. Of course, Canadian outcomes are in part a function of the institutional setting. As will be seen, it is likely that much of the difference in economic outcomes between the two countries is related to differences in immigration programs and policies. The paper ends with a discussion and summary of the range of possible drivers of Sweden`s current immigration outcomes.
Institutional Background Canada’s immigration system is quite complex, and is becoming increasingly so. With a federal governance structure – a federal government and provinces – there is substantial heterogeneity in the opinions and goals of the various actors involved in national discussions. This implies that the nation’s aggregate set of policies and programs are not always internally consistent. Indeed, there are many stresses between the sometimes complementary, but frequently competing, humanitarian, social, cultural, and economic goals of immigration policy.
And there is frequently a lack of coordination, and sometimes disagreement, across levels of government and various actors within civil society regarding such issues as settlement services. With respect to highly skilled immigrants, for example, the federal government is responsible for the admission of health professionals, but provincial governments operate the healthcare systems and are responsible for the certification of those same professionals. Potentially useful for Sweden is a comparison of the alternative routes taken by Canada and the United States.
Of particular interest are the differences in immigration levels, and the associated need to manage the immigration system, along with the active measures that may be beneficial for a smaller nation seeking economic benefit from immigration. Modern immigration policies 1 and practices in North America date from the 1960s. Both Canada and the U. S. moved away from selection based mainly on source region, with most immigrants coming from Europe, to a more modern approach that resulted in large scale immigration from the developing world.
But Canada took a very different path than the United States. As seen in figure 1, it consciously chose a significantly higher immigration rate, and it also developed a much more highly managed system. The U. S. receives a greater number of immigrants because it is a much larger nation, but on a per-capita basis, immigration is much higher in Canada. We believe these two features almost always go together in developed economies: the higher the rate of immigration, the greater is the need for structured government management.

The amount of toxic mercury in northern pike and walleye in Minnesota has been unexpectedly rising since the mid-1990s, and a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency scientist says coal burning by other countries or climate changes may be the cause.
The MPCA says the finding is a concern because methylmercury, the form of mercury in fish, is toxic to humans and wildlife. MPCA scientists analyzed tissue obtained from fish collected from 845 Minnesota lakes over 25 years.
Spot, my favorite liberal blogger and others at the MN Progressive Project have been carping about Big Stone II because of it's high mercury output. But here comes the real interesting bit of truth-
That's right folks, the MPCA can't even find a likely source of coal burning pollution in this country, let alone Minnesota. The likely cause of increased mercury in Minnesota lakes is pollution from China and India.
Because the trend is statewide, the MPCA said a local source of mercury is likely not responsible.
Monson said the cause is most likely increased coal burning in other countries, particularly China and India, or factors associated with climate change — or both.
Hmm, China and India. What do those two countries have in common? Hmmm.
Oh yeah, that's right. They would both have been exempted from Kyoto enforcement had the US signed and ratified the treaty.
So had the US signed on to the protocols, we would have damaged our economy (more than it is now) yet we would still be seeing pollution affecting our lives.

More money for Harrogate council's car share scheme to try tackle the town's tail-to-tail traffic
Harrogate Borough Council will pump more than £23,000 into its car sharing scheme - as part of its drive to tackle the town's tail-to-tail traffic.
The scheme sees users of a website and app advertise their journeys to other commuters, and Coun Phil Ireland, cabinet member for sustainable transport, this week signed off a decision to extend it for another five years.
More than 2,150 people have signed up online, but only 11 per cent of those were actively sharing their spare seats as of February 1, according to a report.
Coun Ireland told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: "I had absolutely no problem agreeing to carry on the scheme with Liftshare.com.
"Looking ahead at the next five years, we expect an increase on the 11 per cent figure."
As well as council staff, workers at Bettys, Taylors of Harrogate and Harrogate District Hospital have also signed up to the scheme as employer groups.
The report said more than 929,000 miles and £106,000 in fuel costs has been saved since the project was launched - and extending the scheme will save an estimated 183 tonnes in carbon emissions each year.
The council is directly responsible for around 10,000 tonnes of emissions each year and pays around £1.5million in energy and fuel bills.
The report added: "The council has committed to promoting car sharing as part of carbon reduction and air quality management plans.
"Continuing the scheme is necessary in order to meet the council’s carbon reduction and air quality aims."
The council has also previously spent £28,000 on the creation of a car sharing club - which is a model of car rental where people can hire a car from a pool of publicly-available vehicles for as long as required or for as little as half an hour.

Brighton & Hove Albion 0-1 Sheffield Wednesday
Giles Coke scored the only goal as Sheffield Wednesday opened their Championship campaign with victory at 10-man Brighton.
Coke found the net in fine style, curling a superb shot over David Stockdale and into the roof of the net.
Up to then, the hosts had been on top.
But Brighton's chances of mounting a successful comeback for new boss Sami Hyypia were wrecked when Andrew Crofts was dismissed for a dangerous tackle on Sam Hutchinson just after the break.
Former Liverpool centre-back Hyypia is back in England five years after calling time on his decade long playing career at Anfield.
|Did you know?|
|Sheffield Wednesday had not previously won at Brighton since 2006, when Paul Sturrock was in charge|
The Finn gave debuts to keeper David Stockdale, veteran defender Aaron Hughes, and strikers Chris O'Grady and Shamir Fenelon.
O'Grady, a £500,000 signing from Barnsley, put a left-foot shot on the turn wide and then fed Kazenga Lua Lua to force Keiren Westwood into a brave stop.
Coke gave Wednesday, who confirmed the capture of St Johnstone's Stevie May immediately before kick-off, the advantage just before the break when he produced his amazing goal from 25 yards.
Soon after the restart Crofts received a straight red card for his high tackle on Hutchinson.
And although O'Grady had a chance to level, only to be denied by Westwood, Brighton were unable to build up enough pressure to force an equaliser.
Brighton manager Sami Hyypia:
"We played OK and are on the right path: it's work, work, work.
"I liked the effort of everyone on the pitch, although the red card didn't make it easier.
"There are 46 games in the Championship and I'm not happy we lost as every match is very important."
Sheffield Wednesday boss Stuart Gray:
"It was an overall team performance and every player put in an eight or nine out of 10 display.
"Brighton manager Sami Hyypia will be disappointed, but we controlled the game and deserved the three points.
"I'm delighted with my team. It shows what team spirit and determination can do."

A couple say they are being forced to remove a well-established flowerbed outside their home because of heavy-handed and “petty” highways rules. Mary and William Geidt, from Church Lane, Great Cransley, planted the flowerbed on a narrow verge immediately outside their home more than a decade ago. The couple say they planted the roses, irises and other flowers after suffering two floods which caused damage to their home in 1996 and 2003.
At the time, after improvements were made to the drains in Church Lane, a highways officer verbally advised Mr and Mrs Geidt to plant shrubs and flowers which would reduce water damage to their wall. The couple say the flowerbed also makes Church Lane safer in snowy weather because drivers can more easily see the edge of the road. As their home lies very close to the edge of the road, Mr and Mrs Geidt said they are worried about a vehicle skidding into their house. However, they were shocked to receive a letter from Northamptonshire County Council a month ago telling them to remove the flowers and shrubs within 14 days.
Mr and Mrs Geidt responded, explaining that they had maintained the flowerbed for more than a decade at their own expense and had never received a single complaint. After a visit by a highways officer, the couple were written to again saying that the verge would be the only means of escape for pedestrians walking in the road to avoid traffic. Mrs Geidt said: “It does not make any sense, because there is a perfectly good footpath on the opposite side of the road. It seems petty and heavy handed and we feel like we’re being singled out.
“Our cottage is set below the road, so our ground floor windows are at the same level as the road. The verge is steeply sloped. The lane is not cleared of snow or gritted and there were two minor accidents last winter. From our own experience we know it is difficult to see the edge of the road in snow and there is a real possibility of a serious accident if drivers skid down the bank into our cottage.” A spokesman for the county council said: “Regrettably, highways law, which the county council has to comply with, is very strict when it comes to safety regulations regarding roads. In this instance the flower beds and shrubs interfere with visibility and so we have asked for the vegetation to be removed.”


Area commissions wary of Columbus’ proposed changes in how they operate
A proposal last winter to limit the time that someone can be the chair of a Columbus area commission to six years has been scaled back to a nonbinding recommendation.
But that didn’t stop some area commission officials from attacking the latest iteration of the proposal at a public hearing Monday night.

The only solid changes still proposed, which would need the approval of the City Council, would cut the maximum number of a commission’s members to 17 from 21 and set standard three-year terms. Still, some commissioners are suspicious of seven pages of new “best practices.”
Those voluntary recommendations would require training, limit officer terms to six years, and make other changes that some builders and developers who go before the commissions think are needed.
“There are 21 different commissions, and in many cases, there are 21 different processes,” said Jon Melchi, executive director of the Building Industry Association of Central Ohio.
“If we have a concern, it’s that many of the recommendations are voluntary,” Melchi said after the hearing at City Hall.
Area commissions are a concept created in the 1970s for keeping the at-large-elected city council in touch with neighborhood concerns, particularly concerning new development and zoning.
Although some commissioners were supportive of the recommendations, others cited a lack of communication during the process by the city’s Department of Neighborhoods, which has led the effort.
“The developers have all the power,” and if reviews take a little time, “then so be it,” said Dana Moessner, a Near East area commissioner.
“Everybody knows when you deal with the people, that’s the problem. ... Unfortunately the neighborhoods are the ones who live with the results of what the developers give us.”
Moessner said after the hearing that it’s only a matter of time before the voluntary recommendations get codified, resulting in reduced neighborhood influence.
“I think most folks recognize that these are some minor changes,” said council member Rob Dorans, who chaired the hearing. The voluntary guidelines, he said, will give the city more time “to make sure that we have commissioners who are well-trained and well-versed.”

Yarn note: Indigo Moon is now offering the following yarn as a suggestion for this pattern: 1 skein (650yds) Indigo Moon Pure Silk (mulberry)
Many indie dyers are offering 100% silk laceweight yarn these days. Silk takes dye wonderfully and has great shine, so single skeins are easy to fall in love with and to buy. However, sometimes it’s not so easy to find a pattern that will complement a special skein of hand-dyed silk. It’s worth the effort, though, because silk is a wonderful fiber for summer or special occasions: the fabric has beautiful drape and breathes well.
Here is a geometric lace scarf that was designed to use a single kettle-dyed skein of heavy laceweight bombyx silk. The construction, with garter stitch selvedge sides and knitted on garter lace borders, minimizes cast-ons and cast-offs that can be inflexible during blocking, and also limits the number of loose ends to hide at the end (these can be difficult to manage with silk yarn).
This pattern is suitable for an adventurous newcomer to lace. For the body of the scarf, all wrong side rows are plain. You will need to follow the chart, but there are no difficult techniques other than different types of double decreases.
ALSO AVAILABLE AS A KIT FROM INDIGO MOON

Have you ever wondered what life would be like in the far future? Some would say it looks pretty bleak considering the state of things, and some would say perhaps there’s a glimmer of hope. What if you were granted extra lives to navigate those murky waters?
Well, Boston indie folk band Darlingside addresses all those sentiments on their new album, Extralife, which they’re going on tour for this summer.
One of those stops will be here in Door County, July 10 at the Door Community Auditorium. The Pulse talked with Auyon Mukharji, violin and mandolin player for the band, about their album and tour.
Darlingside is made up of three others, Don Mitchell on guitar and banjo, Harris Paseltiner on cello and guitar and David Senft, on kick drum, bass and guitar. The quartet has been making waves lately with the album’s arrival, which came out in February of this year.
There are a few ways these guys are breaking tradition — they group around only one mic, they don’t have drums and they’ve mixed electronic and acoustic together. These are the reasons why their previous album, Birds Say, reached critical acclaim. They made these choices to better reflect their rehearsal and writing process.
Grouping around one mic also makes it easier for them to master the harmonies they employee in their music. Their voices are perhaps the most heavy element to their sound, and being able to blend their voices before it hits the microphone is key, Mukharji said. Plus, it makes their live show more intimate.
Extralife carries all those same techniques, but perhaps goes even further in their songwriting abilities. Birds Say was more of a collection of memories about the past, their respective childhoods. Extralife, though, is a look ahead, and their songwriting is at its most evolved point.
“We were all getting in on the ground floor for all those lyrics,” Mukharji said. “We were further in each other’s heads.”
No one member spearheads the process. That reflects their dynamic as a band — there is no frontman. The band operates in a way where each member is equal, and that’s something they value.
“Being a band of equals is the only thing that makes sense to us,” Mukharji said. “People ask what it’s like to be in a band, and my answer is that it’s similar to asking what it’s like being in a family?”
So, did they intend to write an album about dystopian futures, uncertainty or hope? No, it wasn’t intentional, Mukharji said, rather it was a result of the group spending so much time together and dwelling in the same sort of headspaces.
“It’s a lot of stuff that we were thinking about and talking to each other about,” Mukharji said.
Well, Darlingside is taking this new album in tow and heading on the road, sharing bills with big names such as Brandi Carlile, Dawes and Father John Misty. They’re even heading to Germany to tour. They’re excited to experience and be charmed by new places, Mukharji said, and Door County has a fair chance of doing so.
Darlingside plays July 10, 8 pm at Door Community Auditorium in Fish Creek. Tickets range from $29 to $48. Advance reservations are recommended and can be made through the DCA box office, located at 3926 Hwy 42 in Fish Creek. The box office is open 12-5 pm Monday through Friday. Tickets can be purchased in person, by calling 920.868.2728 or online at dcauditorium.org.

AbstractThis abstract describes multiagent model of the hepatitis B epidemic process. All parameters, expressed in the model were estimated using sero-surveys data and data of epidemiological surveillance of Kharkiv region sanitary-epidemiological station. The simulation results allow predicting of the dynamics of the epidemic process in time in a particular area, taking into account specific epidemic situation; and testing the effectiveness of various preventive measures. Using the present model in the practice of Public Health suggests improving of the epidemiological diagnostics of HBV infection and improvement of the quality of management decisions about epidemiological surveillance.
