The EU and Brazil have signed an agreement to develop 5G, the next generation of communication networks.
The Commission has also started work on an action plan to deploy the technology in the EU by 2020. By this time, it is forecast that there will be 26 billion connected devices and 70% of people will own a smartphone. 5G will be the backbone of the EU Digital Single Market, industries of the future, modern public services and innovative applications such as connected cars, smart homes or mobile health services.
To face this global challenge, the EU joins forces with Brazil to strengthen cooperation in this strategic area and to make sure that 5G does not develop in silos at the international level. The EU and Brazil, which are close trading partners, have been cooperating on information and communication technologies since 2008.
European Commissioner for the Digital Economy and Society Günther H. Oettinger and Brazilian Minister of Communications André Figueiredo signed the joint declaration following similar key cooperation initiatives with South Korea, Japan and China.
Vice-President Ansip, responsible for the Digital Single Market said: "This is about essential technology to ensure connectivity. But it is also about building trust and confidence in online services and creating the right conditions for the technology to be deployed across borders. Spectrum coordination is essential to make 5G happen."
Günther H. Oettinger, in charge of the Digital Economy and Society, said: "Neither Europe, nor Brazil can afford to lag behind in the digital era. With [this] agreement we have notably committed to cooperating on the take-up of 5G in so-called vertical industries such as transport or energy. International agreements are complementary to our efforts to deploy the technology in the EU and the work we are starting today to prepare a 5G action plan for the EU".
The EU and Brazil have committed to developing a global definition of 5G and to identifying the services which should be the first delivered by 5G networks. The two partners will also work to define common standards in order to have a stronger position on the global stage. They will cooperate in identifying the most promising radio frequencies to meet the additional spectrum requirements for 5G, especially in the framework of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). In addition, they will promote the deployment of 5G in fields like smart cities, agro-food, education, health, transport or energy as well as possibilities for joint research projects in this area.
Cooperation agreements are also being discussed with India and the United States.

So Mason, you aren’t alone out there now! This weekend I met a lady who drives trucks with her husband. She was saying how she wished she had something to do with her hands while she’s riding and not sleeping. I was sitting knitting on my son’s sweater and so, of course, I said, “I could easily teach you to knit.” She was staying at the same lodge I was for the weekend. I loaned her a pair of needles and some yarn overnight and taught her to knit and purl. She sat in the lobby by the fire place for several hours knitting a small 20 stitch swatch. She returned the needles to me the next day and asked me to evaluate her work. Which was pretty darn good for a beginner with nice even stitches.
Mason, if you see a woman truck driver trying not to twist her stitches be sure to say hi!

What is a muscle tension headache?
Muscle tension headaches are the most common cause of recurrent headache. These headaches give a sensation of tightness that completely encircles the head. The neck muscles also become sore and tight. Tension headaches can be caused by prolonged use of video games, computers, or typewriters. Many children get tension headaches as a reaction to stresses (such as pressure for better grades or unresolved disagreements with their parents).
How long does it last?
Muscle tension headaches usually last from a few hours to a day and tend to return.
How can I take care of my child?
If your child has been checked by your health care provider and has muscle tension headaches, try the following to help ease the pain:
- When a headache occurs, your youngster should lie down and relax.
- Give acetaminophen or ibuprofen as soon as the headache begins. The medication is more effective if it is started early.
- If something is bothering your child, help him talk about it and get it off his mind.
- Teach your child not to skip meals if doing so brings on headaches.
- Stretch and massage any tight neck muscles.
- To prevent tension headaches, teach your child to take breaks from activities that require sustained concentration. Encourage your child to do relaxation exercises during the breaks.
- If overachievement causes headaches, help your child get out of the fast track.
When should I call my child's health care provider?
Call IMMEDIATELY if:
- The headache is severe AND constant.
- Your child has difficulty with vision, thinking, speech or walking.
- The neck is stiff.
- Your child is acting very sick.
Call during office hours if:
- Headaches are a recurrent problem for your child.
- You think blocked sinuses may be causing the headache.
- The headache has lasted more than 24 hours even though your child has taken pain medicines.
- You have other concerns or questions.

On July 15, 2015, the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor (the "DOL") issued a fifteen-page "Administrator's Interpretation" (the "Interpretation") on the appropriate classification of workers as employees and independent contractors under the Fair Labor Standards Act (the "FLSA"). The DOL claims that the Interpretation merely provides new guidance but does not change DOL policy (which would require official regulatory action). The Interpretation notes that improper classification of employees as independent contractors divests workers of overtime compensation, unemployment insurance, and workers' compensation coverage, and results in lower tax revenue.
The DOL uses the "economic realities" test to determine employee or contractor status. The economic realities test focuses on whether the worker is economically dependent on the employer or truly in business for himself or herself. The Interpretation concludes that a worker who is economically dependent on the employer is "suffered or permitted to work" according to the FLSA's definition of "employ"—even if the employer does not "control" the worker. The Interpretation acknowledges that the economic realities test results in most workers being classified as employees under the FLSA, but submits that the FLSA was intended to be liberally construed and provide broad coverage to workers.
The factors to be analyzed as part of the economic realities test are:
- How integral is the work to the employer's business? (The work can be "integral" even if it is just integral to one component of the business and even if the worker's role is shared with many others,)
- Does the worker have opportunity for profit or loss depending on his or her managerial skill (such as in hiring employees and purchasing supplies), rather than merely on his or her ability to take on additional work?
- What is the relative investment of the worker and employer? (The focus is on whether the worker has invested in a business, not just in tools to do his or her work);
- Does the work require special skills? (The focus is on managerial and business skills, not just skills in the trade);
- How permanent is the relationship?
- What degree of control is retained by the employer?
The factors are weighed and no single factor—including the "control" factor—is dispositive. The Interpretation downplays the "control" aspect, which is pivotal to the common law "control test" referenced in the Interpretation. The Interpretation states that the control factor should not overtake the other factors and all factors should be analyzed in the context of ultimately determining whether the worker is economically dependent on the employer or an independent business.
Note that the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") uses a different test for determining employee/independent contractor status. Until recently, the IRS used a 20-factor test, with the central focus being the control exerted over the worker. The IRS recently simplified its analysis to focus on 11 factors with the majority of the test focused on behavioral control (where, when, and how to do the work) and financial control (how business expenses, equipment, and payments are handled).
Although the DOL and IRS tests contain some overlapping factors, the tests will be reviewed through different lenses. The DOL will be reviewing the factors in light of the economic dependency of the worker, while the IRS will be reviewing the factors with a focus on the control exerted over the worker. It is plausible that these tests will lead to different conclusions on how various workers should be classified. The standards used to determine worker classification will also be different under various state laws. For example, determining whether a worker is an employee for unemployment tax and benefit purposes, and workers' compensation benefits, all issues governed under state law, will in some states be carried out under a different standard than DOL's, and could lead to a different result for those purposes.
Action steps for employers
The Interpretation sends a clear message that the DOL considers misclassification a significant problem. Employers should anticipate increased scrutiny of worker classification and a focus on independent contractors in DOL audits of all types. To avoid liability employers should:
- Review the status and duties of all consultants/independent contractors to determine whether any of them should be classified as employees;
- Correct any potential misclassification going forward (note that in almost all cases it is safer to classify workers as employees—including as part time and temporary employees);
- Review independent contractor/consulting agreements to ensure they are drafted to maximize the likelihood that an auditor will view the relationship as an independent contractor relationship based on reading the agreement;
- Consult counsel regarding any difficult issues and regarding how to engage in the reclassification process if required.

IRRESPONSIBLE SENSATIONALISM from THE MERCURY? By Iain Ewok Robinson
In response to todays (Monday 15th 2011) article in The Mercury under the title “GANG CAUGHT RED HANDED”:
A front page title such as GANG CAUGHT RED HANDED smacks of sensationalist and irresponsible journalism upon clearer analysis of the details of the event being described.
For any writer worth their pen, there can be no denying the obvious negative connotations associated with the use of a word like GANG in describing a group of urban youth, especially in a country and a city where violent gangsterism is still a serious issue affecting our communities. To label as a GANG a small group of young creative artists, engaging in what was quite obviously an unsuspecting and harmless act of craft and expression, is once again both short-sighted and potentially damaging for those involved, and can in no way be justified other than as an attempt at catching the attention of potential consumers of a product, in this case a newspaper.
To clarify: this group of artists that has been labelled a “gang” was gathering together, on a Sunday, in broad daylight, to paint a mural in a public space, permission for which had been granted to them previously by the apparent owner of the wall. This event has become an annual gathering by the artists, in tribute to a deceased friend, and was intended to add value to an apparently run-down and previously unsightly area of the city, home to a small population of the poorer residents of Durban (nicknamed “Dalton” in reference to the Dalton Road Hostels). The event was broadly advertised on social networking sites in an open invitation to any artists willing to participate in the tribute.
Does any of this sound like the act of “an organized group of criminals” (one of the Oxford Dictionary definitions of the word GANG)?
On an additional note, the article details further the extent of the police operation that resulted in this bust, including the employment of private investigators. Surely this is an unnecessary and somewhat extravagant use of City funds, when apparently they could have simply gone on to Facebook to find out more about this alleged “gang”?
The fact is, Graffiti Art in Durban, despite the countless examples of its aesthetic qualities and obvious craft, despite its continued assistance in a number of community up-liftment programs, despite its global acceptance as a legitimate form of artistic expression, has constantly been a victim of misrepresentation by a sensationalist media, and this lack of responsibility by our news agents should be highlighted.
Yours in solidarity with all such artists,
Iain EWOK Robinson, GRAFFITI ARTIST and director of the LIFE CHECK YOUTH DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE.

The question is often raised at our support group meetings – how can I support my partner with chronic pain. It is so hard to watch someone you love cope every day with debilitating pain.
Oh if only you had a magic wand. How many of us go to bed thinking, “maybe tomorrow they will wake up and the pain will be gone”.
Oh course always have hope, but while we wait for a miracle or a treatment that works for our partners particular circumstances, what can we do?
Supporting a partner or loved one with chronic pain is difficult. Whether you’re having to cope with the transition from being pain free, or entering into a relationship with someone suffering from an existing condition, you’re still going to have to learn a whole new set of skills if you’re going to make the best out of what can at times be a difficult situation.

Sebastian Vettel took the Canadian Grand Prix by storm and roared to his 29th career victory at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Canada today.
The Red Bull racer extended his championship lead after using a two-stop strategy, starting on the P Zero Red supersoft tyres, before switching to the P Zero White medium tyres and completing the race with a final stint on these tyres.
Paul Hembery, Pirelli’s motorsport director, said: “The Canadian Grand Prix was a slight step into the unknown for everybody, with track temperatures considerably higher than they had been in qualifying yesterday.
“Canada is one of the most challenging circuits for the rear tyres due to high traction demands– particularly after it has rained previously in the weekend, because the moisture has the effect of washing away all the rubber that has been laid down before, which decreases grip levels further.
“Despite that, wear and degradation was under control for all the frontrunners and there was little of the graining that is a common feature of this race as well.
“Mercedes still seems to be suffering from high levels of degradation with Nico Rosberg being the only driver in the top 10 having to use a three-stop strategy.
“While two stops was clearly the way to go, Paul Di Resta drove an excellent race to show what was possible with a one-stopper, completing 56 laps on his first set of medium tyres.”


This comment from BuzzMachine… by Jeff Jarvis…
Media is getting personal
Perhaps it’s as simple as that. Media was institutional. Now it is personal.
By personalizing media, I don’t mean customizing it (My Yahoo Your Yahoo, All God’s Children Got Yahoos).
I mean humanizing it, taking on the personalities of people, not of institutions.
…reminded me of a chat with a friend the other day. We discussed how in marketing, the idea of personalising a letter means sticking the respondent’s own name in it. But what really needs to happen is for the person writing the letter to put themselves into it. Take responsibility for its content, and have it come from a human being, rather than as some bland marketing broadcast.

The inclusion of the Concealment Solutions ASP (Appendix Specific Platform) in our Appendix carry project might be a surprise to some since it wasn’t included in the Appendix Holster Round-up, but it was requested by a reader and Jason was happy to have his products compared with the “big boys.”
The ASP uses the same hybrid holster design as his other models with either a horse or cowhide leather backer, molded kydex body and adjustable height belt-clips.
Unlike the Comp-tac M-TAC, the ASP uses a single thickness of leather, it is offered in 3 different sizes to match the gun and it is offered in ether horse or cowhide. My sample is the middle size in cowhide.
Although the Concealment Solution’s leather is single sided, it is finished on both sides and isn’t rough. Some people have found that this allows the holster to slide, but I haven’t found that. Additionally on an appendix holster that is going to be worn next to your belly, that smooth finish is a big bonus.
The ASP leather is all hand cut (many of the other models are laser cut), they are hand trimmed and hand burnished. Overall the fit and finish of this sample’s leather sits between that of the M-TAC and the Crossbreed Supertuck.
The shape of the leather offers 3 advantages…
1) The “L” shape acts as a combat cut and makes getting a grip easier
2) The height of the holster is sized to allow about .5” above the back of the slide to protect your stomach from the slide and the sights (which are really sharp on the M&P Shield)
3) The flat bottom reduces the opportunities for hot spots.
The Concealment Solutions kydex body is riveted to the leather backer with 7 rivets and therefore is not adjustable, but the initial retention is set pretty well. It uses a slight impression in the trigger guard, but it also uses the ejection port (which can gull the kydex over time).
One of the things that struck me 1st was the stiffness of the kydex which is only .06” but feels much thicker. This extra rigidity comes from an abbreviated sight channel that doesn’t extend the full length of the slide.
When kydex is flat or has a fold that passes all the way through its width it can flex along that length. Because the ASP’s sight channel only extends about 80% of the way and has a curve back to the slide the effective thickness is much greater.
Jason bends a flare at the top of the holster body to make reholstering easier. This is not something I have noticed on any other kydex holster.
Adjustable Belt Clips
Ok so the 1.5” clips themselves, aren’t adjustable, but they CAN be mounted in any 3 holes allowing the holster to ride at 3 different heights. They should however always stay in the lowest position because any higher and they interfere with your ability to grip the pistol.
The clips are ~0.75” wide standard spring clips found on many holsters and are completely free of any identifiable markings. They are secured to the leather backing with tee-nuts that have teeth that dig into the leather. While I am not a fan of this method, it is a standard for this kind of holster.
Concealability & Comfort
With a name like Concealment Solutions it should be obvious that their goal is to produce a concealable holster. And the choice to have the clips on either side of the gun as opposed to on top of the kydex body does reduce its printing in an untucked shirt.
The holster is also very comfortable (if you keep the clips in the lowest hole) because it doesn’t press into your leg and the leather backer protects you stomach from the rear sight and help keep it from getting into your ribs.
I suspect with years of use the leather backer would stretch enough that there would be some retention issues when the gun is holstered but not being worn, although the retention from the ejection port might be enough to keep that from happening.
The kydex molding and finish work is great and it provides really easy reholstering.
The holster is “adjustable” although I only recommend carrying it in the lowest attachment point, it ships in the middle one.
If you are looking for a riveted hybrid holster of this design, I think this is better made than the better known brand and like that its clips are plain.
Personally I would like to get a woman’s perspective on using this holster for a straight drop 3 o’clock carry holster. I think its small footprint might be very good for someone with a slender frame. If you have an M&P Shield, a slender frame, and would like to try it out and write 500-600 words about it, let me know.
For everyone else, if you have used or have any questions about the Concealment Solutions ASP or any other Concealment Solutions products, leave a comment below and let me know. I’d be happy to answer your questions and I’m sure other readers would be excited to read about your experiences.

Tecno Camon C9 is the rumored successor of the Camon series. Camon Series was the first ever to feature Android Lollipop and 4G connectivity. The Camon C5 was the first which however has died down since it was forgotten. The Tecno Camon C8 is the one that has received more attention that any other Tecno Mobile smartphone. With the release of HiOS onto the Camon C8 and recently the marshmallow roll out. It has received more than we thought. Tecno Camon C9 is the immediate successor of the Tecno Camon C8.
Tecno Camon C9 from leaked images show that this phone features an elegant and futuristic design. It is also believed to either be a 5.5 inch screen and possibly with FHD that would be better. I hope fingerprint scanner or reader should be a thing that this device needs. However it is not clear if it exists.
Tecno Camon C9 will be slimmer than the Tecno Boom J8 which was 7.35mm in thickness. The Camon C9 has a thickness of 7.0mm.
Tecno Camon C9 will just feature a 13.0 megapixels primary camera since I haven’t seen any Tecno phone with a rear camera with specs above that.
Some rumors depict that this device will run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow and this is evident from the other releases like the Tecno W4 that runs on the same.
Is it time we see an octa core processor with hopefully 1.5GHz or 1.7GHz clocking frequency???
The above is a question that the Camon C9 will proudly render offering amazing performance. We expect this phone to feature a 2GB RAM and 32GB ROM in this case which I hope will be the case. If not 32GB we should see a 16GB ROM.
Based on the rumors too, Tecno Camon C9 might just be the mother of Tecno phones with giant batteries. The Camon C9 most just bring on board a 5050mAh battery that will provide you to more than a month on standby.

In the United States the Arts and Crafts motion was less an attempt to return to pre-industrialization so much as a popularization of the simplicity and clean strains of the country house plan. The Arts and Crafts motion in structure was a response in opposition to the ornate and synthetic styles prevalent in the late nineteenth century. An early English faculty of Arts and Crafts architecture was the Century Guild, based in 1882 by architects A.H. 1897 with the primary American Arts and Crafts exhibition. Let's talk security first. Looking at a few of the larger wooden swing set kits, this is extra along the strains of what I had in thoughts, however these are just too expensive to buy. A majority of individuals purchase drapery as a late addition, one thing that should go up but does not likely matter. The good news about making a gabled roof is that you can buy some pretty cheap hardware that may basically line up the roof rafters the place you want them to go.
Finding one of the best curtains for your room can result in a movement in style that will have any skilled inside designer borrowing out of your concept for future initiatives. Bathrooms and bedrooms are the 2 locations where it's best to never have sheer drapes solely. Although silks may seem luxurious for a room, they're better left on the pillows, different accents since silk curtains will fade shortly, and you will be left with dull and hideous looking curtains in your windows. If you happen to intend to select to pick out window treatments for your own home, but really feel uncertain of the place to begin, there are a couple of ideas that may help make discovering the appropriate window curtains a lot handy for you. When one thinks about designing a room with a theme, there may be one ingredient very important in house design, which one often forgets is the window therapies. Sheer curtains are one of many more appreciated window remedies. The issue is the window treatments does matter and it ought to be a significant decision when you are designing your furnishings.
Drapes which might be heavy can block out plenty of light and this works effectively in a bedroom, particularly bedrooms that supply superb views of the sunrise. When you understand the amount of gentle coming by way of the window, you possibly can plan accordingly. Sheers present a mild airy feel that work wonderfully in many areas. After clearing and leveling a spot within the yard, most playhouse plans have me dive into building the flooring. Although, they look completely magnificent in many different areas, however are not the very best style of drape to purchase, when you require to have just a little privacy since you may see via most sheer drapes. If you choose the incorrect kind or the wrong colour, it can utterly spoil the design that you've got. There are many instructions round for studying how to construct a roof - for any kind of house, not simply playhouses. They select a curtain style and they set the identical curtains theme into every room of the home, whether or not it seems to be good with the interior decoration or not.
On the subject of home windows, not all of them produce the identical quantity of lighting and this can affect the type of drapes that you employ. Although my kids appear happy sufficient with the homes they make from cardboard containers, I need something that will final by means of the summer time, and hopefully next summer time too. Of course I've checked out all the free playhouse plans first, hoping to not less than get an idea of what is involved with this sort of undertaking. That's what most of the playhouse plans name for anyway, so I'll take on the problem. When a window therapy works, it actually works. Pair them with a darker curtain or window overlaying that does simply that covers. Selecting the right form of custom window furnishing will be amazingly complicated. There are many different furnishing fabric materials, texture, embossed and fiber blends you could utilize for a curtain, but it is best to select fabric or materials that doe not fade, particularly if the room gets a lot of sunlight.

Part 5, Chapter 6 Summary
Catherine’s slap sobers Lantier and he successfully leads his fellow strikers to Montsou; however, the small voice of reason somewhere inside him asks what any of this will matter. He had set out for Jean-Bart this morning intending to prevent any violence; instead he is ending a day packed with violence by “laying siege to the manager’s house.”
Lantier is desperate to find something else on which the mob can unleash its fury and prevent further disaster. Rasseneur calls to Lantier from the doorway of Tison’s bar. Lantier tries to avoid him, but Rasseneur reminds Lantier that he warned him of just this kind of trouble if he started a strike. The mob might demand bread, but all they will get is bullets. Lantier...

The firm achieved a victory for oil storage facility operator Limetree Bay Terminals in an arbitration against its anchor customer, Unipec America, Inc., a subsidiary of Chinese state-owned petrochemical conglomerate Sinopec, over Unipec’s withholding of millions of dollars of past-due amounts and Unipec’s attempt to terminate the parties’ long-term storage tank lease agreement with years remaining on the lease.
Quinn Emanuel filed for arbitration in September 2020 seeking recoupment of monthly storage fees withheld since October 2019. The stakes for the client increased substantially when Unipec counterclaimed in October 2020, seeking to terminate the parties’ contract, a ten-year agreement worth approximately $50 million per year, the most valuable contract to the company.
After an eight-day hearing in New York in March 2022, the arbitration tribunal issued its Final Award in September 2022. The tribunal agreed with Quinn Emanuel that Limetree Bay Terminals had not materially breached the parties’ agreement, and therefore Unipec could not terminate the agreement. The tribunal went further, however, also agreeing that under New York law, the “election of remedies” doctrine prevented Unipec from terminating the contract even if Limetree Bay Terminals had materially breached, because Unipec had accepted “the very substantial benefits” of Limetree Bay Terminals’ performance under the agreement by continuing to use the facility after the alleged breaches arose. Quinn Emanuel further succeeded in securing over $20 million in damages for the withheld storage fees the firm originally filed for arbitration to collect.

Flow Chemistry Market Expected to Reach $1.5B in 2020
News Jan 06, 2015
The market for flow chemistry is primarily driven by factors such as increasing need to lower operating costs and adoption of sustainable technologies by chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Flow chemistry offers various advantages over traditional batch processes. These include significant savings in energy usage, high scalability and continuous processing with high reactor throughput and superior heat and mass transfer. Flow chemistry also offers eco-friendly, low emission and a safe production process, thereby supporting green manufacturing.
Continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) dominated the flow chemistry market in 2013. However, microreactor systems is anticipated to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period. Chemical was the largest end-user segment in the flow chemistry market in 2013. Pharmaceutical is estimated to be the most lucrative end-user for flow chemistry in the next few years. However, scaling-up issues coupled with the need to conform to governmental regulations in the pharmaceutical industry are likely to hamper market growth in the near future.
Continuous stirred tank reactor accounted for over 40% of the global flow chemistry market in 2013. Plug flow reactor followed continuous stirred tank reactor. However, microreactor systems is expected to be the fastest growing product segment in the flow chemistry market during the forecast period. Other flow chemistry equipment, including microwave systems, is projected to boost market growth in the next few years, due to rising demand for flow chemistry in chemical and petrochemical industries.
The chemical segment dominated the end-user segment, constituting around 35% of the global demand for flow chemistry in 2013. Flow chemistry can be used to carry out various reactions such as nitration and bromination. Pharmaceutical accounted for the second-largest market share in the global flow chemistry market in 2013. It is also anticipated to be the fastest growing end-user segment for flow chemistry during the forecast period. Flow chemistry is used in the manufacture of APIs in the pharmaceutical industry. Petrochemical and academic & industrial research are also considered major end-users in the global flow chemistry market. Other end-users such as polymers and nanostructured materials are expected to offer higher opportunities for flow chemistry during the forecast period.
North America has been dominating the demand for flow chemistry over the past few years. The region accounted for over 35% of the global demand for flow chemistry in 2013. Rising demand for flow chemistry in the pharmaceutical industry has been a key factor for the growth of the flow chemistry industry in North America. Asia Pacific followed North America, accounting for the second-largest share in the global flow chemistry market in 2013. Increasing demand for flow chemistry in chemical and pharmaceutical applications is driving the demand for flow chemistry in Asia Pacific. Europe is likely to experience stable growth for flow chemistry in the near future. Market share of Rest of the World is projected to increase in the flow chemistry market in the next few years, led by high demand for flow chemistry in Brazil and Saudi Arabia.
The full Flow Chemistry (Microreactor Systems, Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor, Plug Flow Reactor and Other Products) Market for Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Academic & Industrial Research, Petrochemical and Other End-user Industries - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020 report can be browsed below.

Kim Kardashian gracing the cover of a random, heretofore unheard of magazine? Not unusual.
Kim Kardashian looking classy and (gasp!) clothed in that publication's pictorial? A sign of the Apocalypse.
But that's exactly what takes place in the December issue of Saturday Night. Just look at the (relatively) modest cover shot:
In her interview, of course, Kim sounds more like Kim. She praises the realism of her show and acts as though her publicist doesn't contact the paparazzi to snap her photos.
A few excerpts:
On Keeping Up with the Kardashians:" Sharing our lives on the show is actually very beneficial. The best feedback was the wedding special. Before, people were saying, “Khloé and Lamar met a month ago now they are getting married. This is crazy and it can’t be real.”
But, after seeing the wedding special you see the whole process of what their life is like together and how they fell in love. If anything, people are now saying they totally get it. It’s just the best way for us to tell our side of the story.
On celebrity gossip photographers: If you happen to shop down Robertson Blvd. then you know they’re going to be everywhere. It happens that I love to go to this nail salon in Beverly Hills where there are always paparazzi. At times it’s frustrating because I just want to get my nails done with no makeup on and in sweats. Times like those you just wish they weren’t around.

The BBC is braced for a fresh wave of strike action as its director general Mark Thompson, reeling from a series of revelations that have corroded viewer trust, prepares to announce up to 3,000 job cuts.
As disaffected staff yesterday claimed morale was lower than at any point since John Birt's unpopular tenure, union leaders met the BBC Trust chairman, Sir Michael Lyons. They warned him that industrial action in the run-up to Christmas was "inevitable" if the BBC pressed ahead with plans to cut thousands of jobs in an effort to plug the £2bn "black hole" between its stated ambitions and its below- inflation licence fee settlement.
It is understood that next Wednesday Mr Thompson will present proposals to the BBC Trust that will result in between 2,000 and 3,000 redundancies, although between 800 and 1,000 new jobs are also expected to be created.
Having ruled out a big gesture like closing BBC3, aware of the need to reinvest in new technology and having already made big cuts in non-programming areas like finance and marketing, the news and factual divisions are expected to bear the brunt. As part of Mr Thompson's strategy to make "fewer, bigger, better" programmes and to repeat them more often across the BBC, he will also look to shave around £100m a year from the cost of original productions.
Broadcasting union Bectu and the National Union of Journalists criticised Mr Thompson for cutting too deep, just three years after around 6,000 jobs were axed or outsourced in an attempt to save £355m a year by 2008. They feared the cuts would hit quality and that he would try to rehire staff on lower salaries and poorer contracts and rush the cuts through in 12 to 18 months, rather than spreading them over five or six years. "You can't just cut 12% of your workforce and expect the quality to remain the same," said Gerry Morrissey, general secretary of Bectu. "He is not bringing the staff with him."
Nearly 100 BBC News staff have signed a letter of protest and high-profile figures including John Humphrys and Jeremy Paxman, whose Newsnight show faces cuts of 4% a year for the next five years, have spoken out. But their colleagues in the programme-making department BBC Vision are furious that they have been allowed to effectively use the BBC airwaves to put their case.
The factual division, responsible for a wide range of programmes including Timewatch, Horizon, The Money Programme and Rough Justice, suffered 400 job losses in the last round of redundancies and is facing new cuts of up to 25%. In the news division, where discontent was at its highest during the last round of cuts leading to a one-day strike that hit many BBC bulletins, executives have been asked to make annual savings of 5% for the next five years.
Most of those savings will be found as part of a plan to create a converged TV, radio and internet newsroom. Hundreds of jobs are expected to be lost as a result and staff have complained that cuts are being dressed up as progress. Middle managers are expected to bear the brunt of the cuts, which insiders said yesterday Mr Thompson was determined to press ahead with.

Chambers Funeral Home Records (MS 5073)
Chambers Funeral Home was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, by William F. Chambers, Sr. and his wife Agnes B. Chambers in 1933. The funeral home has catered to the burial needs of Cleveland’s west side Irish Catholics. The funeral home was originally located at the corner of West 85th Street and Madison Avenue in Cleveland, and moved to its current location at 4420 Rocky River Drive in Cleveland’s West Park neighborhood in 1937. William Chambers died unexpectedly in 1950, and Agnes Chambers managed the business until her sons were old enough to take over beginning in 1955. The funeral home today is operated by third generation Chambers family members. Chambers Funeral Home has traditionally catered to Roman Catholics of Irish descent living on the west side of Cleveland. Parishes that have often had close ties to Chambers are St Patrick’s, Our Lady of Angels, St. Angela’s, Ascension Catholic Church, Annunciation, and others.
The records in this collection pertain to the first and second Chambers Funeral Home locations: West 85th Street and Madison Avenue and 4420 Rocky River Drive, Cleveland, and contain such genealogical information as birth and death dates, causes of death, address of the deceased, who the account was billed to, veteran status, physician’s name, death notice information, and place of burial, among others.
To assist in genealogical research, the Western Reserve Historical Society has indexed these records by name and death date.
This index allows researchers to search the burial books in MS 5073 Chambers Funeral Home Records, 1935-1955. The index provides the full name and death year of the deceased person. Once the researcher knows the year of death, the location of the funeral documentation can be ascertained from the collection finding aid descriptions which can be viewed here.
More detailed information, as described above, is provided in the WRHS Research Center Reading Room.
Researchers can access and make copies from the collection at the Western Reserve Historical Society Research Center Reading Room. Reference staff can provide copies for researchers unable to schedule a visit to the Western Reserve Historical Society. For information about the WRHS Research Center location, hours, admission fees, and research fees, contact the reference staff at 216-721-5722, x1509, or via email at firstname.lastname@example.org.

- The PS5 and Xbox Series release dates are still secret, as Sony and Microsoft are yet to reveal launch and pricing information for the next-gen consoles.
- A new Fortnite update from Epic Games notes that the company will launch The Last Laugh Bundle on November 17th, and reveals the game update will arrive in time for the release of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
- Microsoft already confirmed the console would launch in November, and Sony is rumored to release the PS5 in mid-November as well.
Fortnite has been the talk of the town in the past few days, but not because of something Epic Games did to enhance the game experience in any meaningful manner. Epic staged a Fortnite crisis by allowing buyers to pay for in-app purchases using Epic’s own payment system rather than Apple and Google’s. Unsurprisingly, Apple, and Google both banned Fortnite, and Epic was quick to sue both companies, directing a media campaign against Apple. Unsurprisingly, Apple went the extra mile, asking Fortnite to make changes to its app that’s still available on iPhones and iPads following the bans, complete with the payment system that violates the App Store guidelines. The penalty would be even more serious, the complete removal of Epic from the Apple Developer Program. Epic has filed papers with the court to attempt to block Apple’s “catastrophic” actions for the Epic business. The whole tone of it makes it sound like only Apple is at fault by choosing the nuclear option when it’s really Epic that provoked all this by violating the App Store rules. Epic could have filed the same suit without the staged crisis, but it wanted it all the attention and support it could get from gamers. Tough luck.
With all that commotion, you might have missed a different piece of Fortnite news, one where Epic is announcing a future update for the game that will hit consoles later this winter. In it, there’s an interesting tidbit about the next-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles and their potential launch date.
Sony and Microsoft have not revealed pricing details and release dates for their consoles, although they’re widely expected to drop the news in the very near future.
Epic says the bundle is coming on November 17th, and a couple of paragraphs later, the company notes the update will arrive in time for the PS5 and Xbox Series X launch (emphasis ours):
Batman’s archnemesis, The Joker, arrives in Fortnite via The Last Laugh Bundle releasing on November 17. Check out all of The Joker offerings below including The Joker Outfit, Laugh Riot Back Bling, Bad Joke Pickaxe, The Joker’s Revenge Pickaxe, and the Pick a Card Emote.
The Last Laugh Bundle is available for digital or physical purchase and includes 1,000 V-Bucks. The retail version is available on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. It will also arrive in time for the release of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X next-generation consoles.
That’s not a guarantee that the PS5 and Series X will launch before, on, or after November 17th. However, Microsoft confirmed the new Xbox will be available in November, and November 6th is the rumored launch date for it. The PS5 has been rumored to hit stores on November 20th.
Epic might know when the new consoles arrive, or it’s simply hedging its bets here, expecting Sony and Microsoft to launch the new PlayStation and Xbox consoles in mid-November, as it was the case for the previous generation.

High levels of inflation and high stock valuations mean that any retiree following the longstanding “4% rule” – in which a retiree withdraws 4% of their total investments in the first year of retirement before adjusting the rate in following years – could be too aggressive for retirees in today’s economy. This is according to Bill Bengen, a retired financial advisor who devised the 4% rule in a paper published in 1994.
“Based on Bengen’s original paper, this approach would have protected retirees from running out of money during every 30-year period since 1926, even when considering the Great Depression, the tech bubble, and the 2008 financial crisis,” writes financial planner David Chang in a new piece at the Motley Fool. “However, due to the combination of high inflation and high stock and bond market valuations, Bengen believes retirees will need to make some adjustments to their spending.”
Bengen himself described his newly-emerged unease with his own rule in the context of the modern economy for the Wall Street Journal in April.
“The problem is that there’s no precedent for today’s conditions,” he told the Journal, describing how he has cut his own spending. “I won’t eat in restaurants as much. I live a fairly simple life. I don’t take a lot of trips and I’m happy with a deck of cards and three other bridge players.”
According to a recent study by Morningstar published in November 2021 (and picked up soon afterward by CNBC), a withdrawal rate of 3.3% in the first year of retirement is recommended in light of the current economic situation.
“This assumes a 50/50 stock and bond portfolio and a 90% degree of certainty of not running out of funds over a 30-year timespan,” Chang explains of the new proposed withdrawal rate. “The key thing it found was that the more flexible retirees are with their spending, the greater the chance they can raise the withdrawal rate over time.”
Stock valuations are now much higher, as well, trading at roughly 36 times corporate earnings over the past 10 years, Chang says.
“This is double the historical average,” Bengen said according to Chang. “While low interest rates justify higher stock valuations to some extent, I think the market is expensive.”
Spending is likely the first thing retirees should deal with. From there, reducing exposure to stocks and bonds is advised, according to Chang based on Bengen’s writings.
“By having more cash or other assets such as income-producing real estate, when the market drops, there may be an opportunity to purchase stocks when they are cheaper,” Chang says. “Retirees need to be careful, though. The important thing is to not try to time the market, as this can lead to even greater issues.”

Well-paid writing jobs are always available on the web
If you want to start writing from home you should rest assured that well-paid writing jobs are always available on the web. There are many, many types of articles you can write, each of which requires slightly altered styles and methods. For instance, writing a standard academic literature review for publication will be vastly different from a feature piece for an online magazine.
You can use many sites to get started writing online and find repeat or temporary clients based on your schedule and availability. If you want to start writing from home full time you should find a style of writing that is in high and regular demand. If you want to write from home periodically you can do temporary projects.
Newspaper articles are often short and concise unless they are feature pieces which are printed on the main page. The language is very simple, written so that every reader can understand. The references used in a newspaper article are often quoted within the text in lieu of being printed at the end. The titles in a newspaper article are designed to give the reader some insight into the context of the article. They will often track the development of a story while offering a slant for the readers by highlighting text important to the readers. These articles can cover regional, local, or international information or events as well as interviews with notable figures.
Special interest articles are those written to maintain the attention of readers for a span of five to ten minutes. These are often pieces you will find while leafing through a magazine in the doctor’s office. These pieces can focus on hobbies or something which is of particular interest to the target demographic such as sports cars or cooking. These articles are very short, again, unless they are cover pieces. Their length is often one to ten pages, maximum. The language is very simple but may contain technological phrases or terminology which a hobbyist would recognize. The sources are often cited within the article in the same manner as a newspaper article and the title speaks to the demographic it is targeting. These articles can be published on a regular basis, i.e. weekly or monthly, and therefore can provide updates about a current hobby or trend. They are also entertaining while covering topics that may be more challenging to locate elsewhere.

The UK was one of the first to embrace speed cameras, but it looks like things are starting to go in the other direction. Chris Clark points us to a (video) news report from the BBC highlighting how funding is drying up for speed cameras in the UK, and multiple cities have been ditching them (and, by the way, not noticing any increase in accidents or casualties). The video, of course, shows police and other speed camera supporters insisting that speed cameras save lives, and that taking them away will lead to harm... but they don't actually present any evidence. What is clearly presented, however, is that governments are increasingly less willing to fund speed cameras, and most of the money today is for upkeep, rather than installing any more.

Koop is the Swedish electronic jazz duo of Magnus Zingmark and Oscar Simonsson from Uppsala, Sweden, formed in 1995. Though the music may sound as if it is played by a tight jazz group, it is actually sample-based. Thousands of small clips of drums, strings, horns, and choirs are taken from old records and puzzled together into new songs. This time consuming production process is one of the reasons Koop's albums are released 4-5 years apart.

DLSU-D’s Grade 12 STEM students Sherard Gilbert Ballon, Dreamdith Therese Dy, Christina Danica Eneirga, Patricia Jeanne Ramos and Jerrika Mikaela Tonio developed a material that can possibly replace plastic drinking straws.
“Most of us students like to drink coffee and milkteas. We observed that we produce a lot of plastic waste from the drinking straws we used in these beverages that we only use for a very short time” Ballon said.
“We used saba peelings because we found out that no research was done on the material but is a common waste. We first scraped off the fibers contained in the peels and turning them into a sort of a bioplastic product with the help of a plasticizer,” added Dy and Ramos.
“However, we need to do some optimization by trial and error until we were able to develop the optimum mixture,” said Eneirga and Tonio.
The Saba Banana (scientific name Musa acuminata x balbisiana) has been a typical main ingredient of Filipino dishes like Turon, Bananacue, “minatamis na saging” and an added element in Nilaga and Puchero. As a usual street food item sold by ambient vendors, waste from the saba peelings contribute greatly to the solid waste disposal problem in the country.
“Their work is a culmination of their almost a year research study that is part of their requirements in DLSU-D senior high school curriculum,” said Marlon Pareja, their research adviser.

Obama's goal to destroy ISIS 'unrealistic, unattainable' – Robert Gates
Criticizing the Obama administration’s handling of the fight against Islamic State, former US Defense Secretary Robert Gates has argued that small teams of special forces will be needed on the ground in Iraq and Syria to assist with airstrikes.
Gates, who served as Secretary of Defense under Obama and George W. Bush, criticized Washington’s strategy against the insurgent group as “unrealistic" and "unattainable,” he told NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday.
“The president has set an ambitious and, I think under current circumstances, an unrealistic goal when he talks about our intent being to destroy ISIS,” Gates said. “With the means he has approved so far, I think that’s an unattainable objective.”
Gates said that special forces will be needed in Iraq and Syria to assist with the airstrikes. A "re-invasion of Iraq with large ground forces is a false set of options,” he added, but “a few hundred troops” should be stationed in the region.
The former Pentagon chief said any military strategy against IS
that involves a “re-invasion of Iraq” with large ground
troops is a “false set of options,” advising instead
that Obama send small teams of Special Forces to assist with the
aerial attacks in Syria and Iraq.
Such a plan would further increase the Syrian government’s objections – and suspicions – of American forces carrying out military operations on its territory, even if IS appears to be a serious enemy of Damascus as well. Syrian President Bashar Assad has expressed harsh criticism of US airstrikes on the territory of his country, which has been wracked by a years-long civil war.
I think we set unrealistic goals for ourselves when we say we are going to defeat the Taliban, we are going to defeat AlQaeda -Robert Gates

Gates is calling for a strategy that would deny IS forces the

While US aerial strikes that began back in September have loosened the insurgency group’s grip on northern parts of Iraq, the strategy will not remove them from the country without some new plan, he said.
