Testimony transcript
11 February 2021 Anne Blog, junior-development, Web Design
Some things are unclear. One can think about them and draw no conclusions. For example, an interesting article published this week presents a look back at software developers' jobs in the USA and abroad, along with other skilled workers' employment, focusing on a now-rhetorical question: How might a national discussion about Free Trade in the Digital Age affect the US economy and the lives of workers?
The article described the dilemma for USA developers and others two decades ago. (Hard to believe: this excerpt is from an article co-authored by Sen. Chuck Schumer and Paul Craig Roberts who served under Reagan.)
Two recent examples illustrate this concern. Over the next three years, a major New York securities firm plans to replace its team of 800 American software engineers, who each earns about $150,000 per year, with an equally competent team in India earning an average of only $20,000. Second, within five years the number of radiologists in this country is expected to decline significantly because M.R.I. data can be sent over the Internet to Asian radiologists capable of diagnosing the problem at a small fraction of the cost.
In an ideal world, Edward Snowden could come home.


Can anyone suggest me how should I go about planning my trip based on individual destination and also how many nights should I spend in each places?
I would leave Paro for last.
Spend 2-3 days in Thimphu. You can visit the Takin reserve, Thimphu memorial chorten, the farmer's market, the park by the river, Buddha Point, a lot of museums and art galleries. There is also a craft bazaar to visit. The archery field. Thimphu has a nightlife where you can meet many locals.
Spend 2 nights in Gangtey. A perfect destination to get away from the city life. There is absolute peace in the valley and enjoy hot stone baths at night. There is not much to do but a lot of nature trails and an old monatery to visit. Homestay in Gangtey gives a perfect stay to explore rural farmer's life.
Punakha 1 night. You can visit the castle and also do rafting along the river.
Bumthang is beautiful. You can spend 2 nights there as you have travelled half way through Bhutan to reach this destination. The valley is beautiful and unique.
Finish off the trip with Paro and doing the Tiget Nest Hike. Do the hike in the morning so that you can have a good evening around the small town of Paro.
Thimphu to Punakha- 2-3 hours drive, you can see the beautiful mountain pass on the way.
I visited Bhutan in May 2017. I would not suggest in visiting Gangtey and Bumthang at this time because the road condition is very bad. Due to the road widening project, the journey is very difficult and not worth it. However you should visit THimphu Paro and Punakha.
do the tiger's nest hike in Paro, its worth it.
The tiger's zoo in thimphu was amazing.
I would suggest you visit punkha. Punkha is great for site seeing and the weather would really favor you. Other the punkha i would really recommend you a hike to the tigers nest in paro. Its also know as taktshang.
i would suggest you to visit National Memorial Chorten - Which was built in honor of the late King Jigme Dorji Wangchuk.
Buddha Point at Kuensel Phodrang, will be open to tourists once it is completed in 2012. The 169 feet bronze statue of Buddha Dordenma.
At Paro hike to Tiger's Nest Taktsang Monastery .
safe journey ....hope you ll enjoy trip bye.
Thank you for sharing the information. However could anyone advise how many nights should I spend each places or how many nights would be required to really explore these places?
local travel agents suggest tourist to spend 2 to 3 nights in Paro, 2 nights in Thimphu and 1 night in Punakha. You can also do a day excursion to Punakha and come back to Thimphu for the night. The reason agents suggest maximum nights at Paro is, you can also do a day excursion to Haa or Chelela pass.

Red Hawks Take a 'Bite of Fall' with Holiday Pop-Up Market
By Kerianne Vianden
The pop-up market was named Bite of Fall. Kerianne Vianden | The Montclarion
It's the season of giving, and Montclair State University's students and faculty are in the holiday spirit.
Dr. Manveer Mann, an assistant professor of marketing at Montclair State, reached out to some students over the summer to help plan and organize a charitable event. The event was to create awareness around food insecurity while raising donations for nonprofit organizations.
Months of planning came to life as the doors of room 140 in the Feliciano School of Business opened on Wednesday, Nov. 14, welcoming students to partake in an autumn-themed pop-up market named Bite of Fall.
"This event is very meaningful for us as we want to make a positive impact in our local community," Mann said. "We also hope that our event will engage students and staff members in an important issue of food insecurity that the local community faces."
This is the third year that Mann has organized a charitable event, some of which have supported local and global non-profits, including Human Needs Food Pantry and Charity Water.
A sign in the lobby of the Feliciano School of Business describes the charity event.
Kerianne Vianden | The Montclarion
"Come out to experience a taste of this great season while exploring a market showcasing student organizations, as well as vendors from our local communities," was written on flyers sprawled across a table outside of the event.
Participants were encouraged to bring cans of food to donate upon entry, which would be given to Toni's Kitchen and Red Hawk Pantry, as well as the proceeds of the event.
Toni's Kitchen is a food ministry of St Luke's Episcopal Church located in Montclair. Best known for the homemade soup served, their goal is to create a community where all members have access to nutritious food.
The Red Hawk Pantry is located right on campus and is able to function with the generosity of Montclair State students, parents, faculty, staff and alumni donations that help fellow Red Hawks in need.
"We started planning this event in summer and started outreach in early fall," Mann said. "It was a mixed experience in getting school organizations and restaurants involved. Some were very enthusiastic and others did not have the time or resources to participate."
Different vendors from around the city of Montclair volunteered to set up booths where they had samples of food along with products available to purchase.
On campus, the Montclair State Dietetics Organization (MSDO), Food Recovery Network, Dining Services and Community Garden all contributed to the fall-themed market as well as the environmental and marketing clubs. Montclair Farms, Green Point Juicery, Wise Owl Bakery and Kung Fu Tea were just a few of the 11 outside vendors that signed up to help out.
"I hope [the event] brings awareness to students and faculty of the food insecurity that currently exists in Montclair," said Katie Martel, a communications major with a minor in business. "Especially because we are part of the community, we should care about what is happening, as we all go to school here."
Martel is one of five students that worked with Mann to create Bite of Fall. While this is her first time helping at a charity event, she said she could see herself volunteering more in the future.
"This event is meaningful to me because with it being the month of Thanksgiving and everyone, including myself, being excited for food that day, we often don't think about the people who don't have a meal to eat," Martel said. "It's so important to give back to the community because you are helping out people who really need it, and it's always great to feel like you are making even the slightest of a difference."
Stephanie Moscoso, a communications major with a minor in business, was another student pivotal in organizing the fall market.
"I always pick my corner in which I like to make a difference," Moscoso said. "I may not be rich enough to give monetary help, [but] I always make sure to give back with my time and efforts. Every year I do something to give back, especially around the holidays, it's important to always give back."
Flyers that were being handed out outside of the event.
Moscoso has been volunteering for years, whether it is helping create an event or supporting a cause, such as UNICEF.
"I will always see myself volunteering, no matter how I do it," Moscoso said, "but it's something that is embedded in me because I genuinely love doing so."

Former England Opener Marcus Trescothick To Retire
Marcus Trescothick scored 26,234 first-class runs since making his debut for Somerset in 1993
Marcus Trescothick on Thursday announced he would retire at the end of the season © Twitter
Former England star Marcus Trescothick on Thursday announced he would retire at the end of the season, bringing down the curtain on a 27-season career with county side Somerset. The 43-year-old opening batsman, who played 76 Tests and 123 one-day internationals, has scored a total of 26,234 first-class runs since making his debut for Somerset in 1993. Trescothick, whose international career was ended by anxiety attacks, still holds an ambition to win his place back in the first XI of the title-chasing side before the end of the season.
"It's been an incredible 27 years and I've loved every minute of it," he told the Somerset website. "However, everything has to come to an end eventually.
"I've been discussing my future with the club and my family for a while and we felt that now was the appropriate time to make this announcement in order for both the club and I to put plans in place.
"There's still a lot of the season left and I'll be doing everything I can to put in performances for the second XI in order to force my way back into contention for the first team."
Trescothick, who holds the Somerset record for number of first-class centuries (52) and first-class catches (445), said he had been blessed to be able to play the game he loved for so long.
"Twenty-seven years is a long time but it's gone incredibly quickly," he said. "I consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity to do something that I love for that length of time.
"I'm extremely grateful for all the support that I've received throughout this remarkable journey."

The Mellotron
The Mellotron, a keyboard instrument that was featured in early psychedelic music and later became an essential fixture of "Progressive" bands, was made possible by one of the spoils of World War II—electromagnetic tape. As Michael Jarrett notes in Sound Tracks (1998), "When U.S. troops invaded Radio Luxembourg, they "liberated" a tape machine and shipped it to the Ampex Corporation; further development was financed by Bing Crosby" (214). Technically considered, the Mellotron is a polyphonic, sample-playback keyboard system, the basis of which is a large bank of pre-loaded electromagnetic audio tapes, each of which consists of a pre-recorded sound. Each of the several magnetic tapes has roughly eight seconds of playing time: early user manuals strongly recommended that no key should be held for more than ten seconds. Playback heads underneath each of the keys allowed for the playing of the pre-recorded sounds, hence the reason it is considered a "sample-playback" system. Early Mellotron models, the MK-I and the MK-II, contained two keyboards set side-by-side: the right keyboard consisted of various selectable "instrumental" sounds (e.g., strings, flutes, various brass instruments), while the left keyboard consisted of rhythm tracks. The first Mellotrons--intended for the home, not for the arduous rock concert circuit--were made in Birmingham, England (although the prototype was initially developed in the United States), the reason why the earliest uses of the instrument were by British bands. Musician Mike Pinder (pictured above in the foreground, with the Moody Blues, playing a Mellotron MK-II) worked for Streetly Electronics, the company that manufactured the Mellotron, for about a year and half before joining the Moody Blues in 1967; he and the band are largely responsible for popularizing the Mellotron in popular music. Like the Moog synthesizer, also an electronic instrument, the Mellotron underwent development and refinement. The years of manufacture of the various models of the Mellotron are as follows:
Mellotron Mark-I (1962-63)
Mellotron Mark-II (1964-67)
M-300 (1968-70)
The M-400 model, first sold in 1970, become part of the signature sound of the so-called "Progressive" bands of the 1970s. This model included tape banks that could be removed with relative ease and loaded with banks containing different sounds, including percussion loops, sound effects, and other noises. Hence, like pop music itself, the Mellotron is a consequence of electromagnetic tape.
Ten representative rock songs featuring the Mellotron, 1967-1973:
1. The Beatles - "Strawberry Fields Forever" Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)
2. The Moody Blues - "Nights in White Satin" Days of Future Passed (1967)

Cool blog, but I have one little correction. Actually, Michael Pinder was one of the founding members of the Moody Blues (along with flutist Ray Thomas), and co-wrote most of the songs on their first album (released in 1964) with original guitarist and lead vocalist Denny Lane. John Lodge (who was a pre-Moodies bandmate of Thomas and Pinder) and Justin Hayward joined the band in 1967. Pinder eventually left the group (or got the boot, depending on the side of the story) after he refused to participate in the reunion tour in 1978 with the release of Octave. Sorry to be a little persnickity, but the Moodies have always been one of my favorite groups.
As for Badge, I didn't know that Cream used a mellotron in that song. I know that the effect in the bridge of the song came from Clapton playing through a Leslie speaker (and the title came from Ringo's awful handwriting of the word "bridge").

Molly Ladd-Taylor's "Fixing the Poor"
Molly Ladd-Taylor is a professor of history at York University. She is the author of Mother-Work: Women, Child Welfare, and the State, 1890–1930 and the coeditor of "Bad" Mothers: The Politics of Blame in Twentieth-Century America.
Ladd-Taylor applied the "Page 99 Test" to her new book, Fixing the Poor: Eugenic Sterilization and Child Welfare in the Twentieth Century, and reported the following:
Between 1907 and the 1960s, more than 63,000 Americans were sterilized under state eugenics laws. Sixty percent were women. More than one-half were diagnosed as "mentally deficient" or "feebleminded."
Page 99 of Fixing the Poor asks "who was feebleminded" and targeted for sterilization. To many readers, the answer might seem obvious: anyone who was black, immigrant, poor, unchaste, criminal, disabled, or mentally ill. But that explanation is obviously incomplete: most people from these groups were never sterilized. My book offers a different perspective by moving beyond the usual emphasis on eugenic ideas and analyzing the everyday administration of sterilization policy. My focus is Minnesota, where 2,350 citizens—eighty percent of them designated "feebleminded"--were sterilized under a eugenics law enacted in 1925.
The story of eugenics is often told as a cautionary tale about elite arrogance and the failure of expertise. In Minnesota, however, the determination of feeblemindedness was made by local probate judges, elected officials not required to have any medical or legal training. Most judges knew little about eugenic theories of human heredity, but they understood the usefulness of eugenics legislation as a means for coping with local problems of delinquency, illegitimacy, and welfare dependency. Most people adjudged feebleminded and eventually sterilized in Minnesota were either "sex delinquents" (often unmarried mothers) or poor mothers with large families dependent on relief. A judicial finding of feeblemindedness was the first step toward obtaining the institutionalization or sterilization of indigent county residents perceived as a burden on the public purse. But judgments varied from court to court. There were no consistent criteria for determining who was "feebleminded."
As Page 99 of Fixing the Poor suggests, eugenic sterilization practices were shaped as much by state and local welfare politics as by concerns with biological degeneracy and "race improvement."

LA Chargers News
This Chargers defense is ready to compete
By Darrell Reese Jr.
CARSON, CA - DECEMBER 10: Samaje Perine #32 of the Washington Redskins runs into the Los Angeles Chargers defense during the first quarter at StubHub Center on December 10, 2017 in Carson, California. (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)
They say defense wins championships. Well Gus Bradley's defense is ready to go up against the best offenses in the league.
The Los Angeles Chargers finished third against the pass and 31st against the run last year, so addressing the run defense had to be at the top of their list.
Gus Bradley came back to the team because he knew judging off last years performance, this defense has a lot of potential to be the league's best.
Drafting guys like Derwin James and Uchenna Nwosu can instantly provide versatility for the defense. Bradley can utilize both James to play the box and drop back in coverage as well as linebacker/safety Kyzir White.
Adding James with to of the league's best secondaries is going to be a scary sight. Gus has to be itching to get James on the field. The team sees that James can be plugged all over the field just as Desmond King was. Both players show similarities and can blitz the quarterback when asked to do so.
"We can use him as a linebacker. We can use him as a strong safety, a free safety. We can rush him off the edge. He's a good tackler in space and an outstanding coverage guy. He's got a lot of work to do. We've got to get him here, teach him our system, get him caught up. But we are very pleased with this pick," Telesco told Eric Williams of ESPN.com.
Bradley stated that adding Nwosu is "Like Chrismas" for him. "We've got someone coming into our organization that's new with a whole lot of skills we can really utilize," said Bradley.

The Chargers' secondary is filled with talent and has some of the leagues best defensive backs which is why they finished third in passing yards allowed.
However, did the Chargers help their run defense this offseason?
Not entirely.
The offseason isn't over so the team can still sign a defensive lineman or a veteran linebacker to help their run game.
Despite not addressing every need, this defense is ready to compete. The secondary is ready to finish where they left off last season and Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa are ready to cause havoc for opposing offenses.

If you're feeling especially confident as a parent (i.e. your toddler is sleeping through the night and eating their vegetables), the universe has concocted something extra special for you... to ruin it. It's called toilet training, and it will own your soul from now until eternity (or at least until your kid reliably pees and poops in the desired receptacle, so, like, 15 years from now). It's a journey that will be full of twists and turns and those detours will be disgusting, my friend, because, potty training is designed to break your spirit.
When my mom BFF finished potty training her 3-year-old, she passed along the book she'd used. I read it and it made sense to me and worked for her, so I decided to go for it. At 2 years and 4 months, my daughter was within the "ideal" window for this particular method. We did the first day with her running around naked as a jaybird and me doing nothing but watching for her "tell" and running her to the potty. It was exhausting, but after a few days she graduated to "commando." A few weeks later and she was in underpants. And then we were done!
OK, so apparently 3-day potty training is a thing. And according to all the mom boards, "It really works, by golly!" Yeah, don't come at me with that — not today, Satan! Is it just me, or do these tall tales exist only to make the rest of us feel bad about ourselves? Because, clearly, we just did it wrong.
Everyone says not to give up the after the first day because even if it looks like a hot mess, your child is probably just about to turn the corner. That sounds a little too much like "The Secret" for my taste. I'm no quitter, but who wouldn't be discouraged after an entire day of chasing around a toddler as they dribble urine (or worse) all over the floor?
Kids are naturally driven to learn skills like walking and self-feeding because they come with their own rewards. But using the potty? Not so much. Why would they suddenly start using the commode when they have this convenient diaper in which to do their business (added bonuses: it's private and you don't have to stop playing)? Just because mommy and/or daddy wants them to? Clearly, sir, you've never met a toddler.
It's not like kids learn to use the potty and then never look back. Seriously, that's pretend, you guys, or at least that's what I tell myself. According to What to Expect, triggers for toileting accidents include stress, fatigue, distraction, and excitement. That's why every time we go to an event at grandma's house (cows! cousins! cookies!), my daughter invariably soils a week's worth of underwear in the course of an afternoon.
Ah, potty training a stubborn child. Can you make a child sit still for those necessary immunizations, even though they don't want to? Yes, and that cracks holes in your heart every single time. Can you make your child sit in their carseat? Yes, and it's against the law if you don't. But the whole "peeing and pooping in the toilet" thing is not on the list of necessary things you can force your child to do. And believe me, your child is very much aware of this.
The fact that regressions are a normal part of the process does not make them any less frustrating, especially when your kid appears to have "unlearned" something you thought they'd mastered. When my husband came back from his year-long deployment, our little girl backslid in a major way, culminating in a full-on rage pee at the zoo. Can't wait to see what happens when her baby brother arrives.
In my experience, getting your child to pee in the potty is, in comparison, a cake walk compared to old number two. Fear of pooping in the potty is fairly common, as is consolidation (as in, waiting for the nap or night diaper to do one's business). In a vicious cycle, this leads to constipation and more reluctance to eliminate.
I didn't want to use rewards, but after my daughter's nighttime poops resulted in painful rashes, I ended up caving and offering up M&Ms. I was thrilled the other day when she self-initiated before dinner and rewarded her with chocolate. Success! Until she had a bowel movement in the bathtub an hour later and another in her nighttime Pull-Up.
If you thought training your kid during the day when they're conscious was difficult, just wait until you take on the other 12 hours. Nighttime training is particularly difficult because it's purely about physical readiness.
My kid sleeps like a log and has never woken up dry. My husband refuses to limit her fluids in the evening, and middle of the night wake-ups are rough on my pregnant self. I've put it on the back burner for now, but I'm acutely aware of the specter of an elementary-aged kid who can't go to sleepovers because she wets the bed.
When it comes to potty training, everyone's an expert. Except you, of course. Clearly, you are clueless. Otherwise, you would know that you have to completely ditch the diapers and that you can't ask your child if they have to go to the bathroom (you just say, "Let's go." Duh.). What happened to "every kid is different" and "mother knows best"?
For some reason, the ease with which your child potty trains is used as a measure of parenting success, regardless of your child's readiness or personality, over which you have no control. It's the icing on the cake of a faulty system. When the potty training blues get you down, try to remember that it's not you that's messed up — it's the whole damn process.

LOOKING AHEAD, KOLL SIGNS PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
By David Monti
(c) 2010 Race Results Weekly, all rights reserved
Fresh off of her victories at the NCAA Championships at both 5000m and 10,000m, Iowa State's Lisa Koll has made her first move towards turning pro, signing a management contract with Peter Stubbs Management (PSM) of San Francisco, Calif. The 22 year-old Iowa native from Fort Dodge told Race Results Weekly last Friday in a telephone interview that she felt very comfortable with her decision and was looking forward to racing the 10,000m at this week's USA Outdoor Championships in Des Moines.
"He came really prepared," Koll said via cell phone of PSM associate Dan Lilot who flew to Ames to meet with her. "I was extremely naive to the situation, and he came with all kinds of examples of paperwork. We kind of sat down and he told me how the process would go. He really impressed me with his whole presentation and the comfort level I had with him. He really impressed me."
Koll came to Iowa State a diamond in the rough. She had only finished eighth at her state high school cross country meet in 2004, and redshirted her 2005 indoor and 2006 outdoor track seasons. Under coach Corey Ihmels, Koll made steady improvements through hard work and a disciplined approach. From 2007 to 2010 she dropped her 5000m personal best by about a minute to 15:17.76 and her 10,000m best by some four minutes to 31:18.07, the fastest ever by a collegian in the NCAA system.
"I think anytime you have someone who does what Lisa has done this last year, especially with her humble beginnings, people kind of think all of a sudden she got really good," explained Coach Ihmels in a telephone interview. "She's worked really hard over these years. It just didn't happen. She had to make it happen."
Koll became visible on a national level in 2008 as a sophomore when she clocked 32:11.13 at the Stanford Invitational, setting a then American collegiate best for the distance. She went on to win the NCAA 10,000m title that year and placed eighth in the USA Olympic Trials at the same distance. In 2009 she won the Big 12 5000m and 10,000m titles, despite suffering from a back injury which forced her to miss several weeks of training in the spring. She rebounded to enjoy a truly memorable senior year, winning three out of the five NCAA distance titles available (she won the 5000m titles both indoors and outdoors and the 10,000m, while taking second at 3000m indoors and finishing 12th at cross country last November).
"She's had her ups and downs, but probably more ups than downs," Coach Ihmels explained. "She's just one of those Midwest kids who came in and wanted to get better." He added: "She's very smart, rolled with the punches and came out the other end a better person. She's been very easy to coach. Great athletes make good coaches."
Great athletes also make great management clients, and Peter Stubbs and his team were predictably happy to have landed Koll. "The PSM team is thrilled to have the opportunity to work with an athlete --and person-- like Lisa," Stubbs said in a prepared statement. "She excels at everything she does, and we look forward to helping her reach even greater levels of excellence."
Stubbs said that Koll had not yet been signed to a shoe company, but that he would "aggressively market Lisa to potential sponsors" and was looking forward to "finalizing a partnership for her shortly."
Koll said that she was ready for the move to the professional ranks, and that she planned to stay in Iowa for the immediate future under Coach Ihmels. "I'm really excited about it," she said of her professional career. "I guess I don't really look at it as being nervous. I'm just continuing what I love doing. I don't want to look at it any different than I have over the last five years. Now I'll have the time to work on it that I didn't have before. I'm going to dedicate myself 100% to it."
Koll has the second fastest qualifying mark for Thursday night's national championship 10,000m race behind only Olympian Amy Begley, and has a good chance of making the podium. Coach Ihmels said that he'll be there to support her in Thursday's race and beyond.
"Obviously, she's embarking on a whole new realm of possibilities," he concluded. "Obviously, I'm going to do everything I can to help her make that next jump, whatever that is. I'm probably never ever going to (be able to) repay her for what she's done for our university and this program."

The wireless Internet technology race is intensifying a longstanding rivalry between China's largest mobile phone operator, China Mobile, and its smaller competitors China Telecom and China Unicom.
Since 2011, China Mobile customers in fifteen cities nationwide have been accessing the Internet through the telecom's exclusive high-speed 4G application network called TD-LTE. It's a trial service the telecom hopes to expand nationwide after winning a government license, probably by the end of the year.
If China Unicom and China Telecom executives get their way, mobile phone customers outside these trial zones will not be surfing the Internet via their larger competitor's 4G technology anytime soon.
China Telecom, for example, is reticent to bow to the market forces that would push the company to offer 4G services like China Mobile. The reason is financial: China Telecom, a company source told Caixin, wants to extend 3G's lifespan as long as possible because it has yet to recover the more than 100 billion yuan invested in slower-speed 3G technology since 2007 for its customers.
China Unicom, meanwhile, is posing a separate challenge to China Mobile's objectives by choosing not to use TD-LTE—a technology wholly developed in and for China—but rather build its own Internet access system based on a 4G technology adopted by U.S. and European telecoms called FDD LTE.
From a regulatory perspective, and although each company is state-owned, China Mobile appears to have the upper hand. Neither China Telecom nor China Unicom appear ready to climb aboard the TD-LTE bandwagon, but neither are they standing in the way of the licensing process, nor what their executives consider an inevitable march toward nationwide 4G services.
Caixin learned from sources at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) that the government plans to issue 4G network licenses to telecoms with TD-LTE before starting the licensing process for telecoms with FDD LTE. The second licensing period could follow the first by several months or even a year.
And in March, MIIT Minister Miao Wei said the government might issue 4G licenses by the end of the year.
The government's goal, the sources said, is to encourage telecoms to adopt TD-LTE.
China Mobile needs a license to step beyond trial operations and launch full commercial 4G services. It's betting on success by investing heavily in network infrastructure.
China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua told the media at the sidelines of the National People's Congress in March the company plans to install 200,000 base stations for 4G services in one hundred cities nationwide, covering about 500 million people. The company also plans to buy about 100 million 4G-ready smartphones for customers who sign up for its service plans.
In the years since rolling out 3G services in 2009—after an eight-year commercialization process—China Mobile has slipped in the race for customers who need Internet access on mobile phones.
The company's share of the 3G market in China fell to 63 percent in March from 72 percent, or 522 million customers, in 2009. Over the same period, China Unicom's market share grew to about 21 percent and China Telecom's expanded to 15 percent, from a respective 20 percent and 8 percent.
At least some of the blame for China Mobile's slide can be pinned on its snail-like 3G technology called TD-SCDMA, which limits Internet download speeds to no more than 2.8 Mbps.
The WCDMA technology for 3G used by China Unicom, however, can reach 21 Mbps, while China Telecom's CDMA2000 technology averages 3.1 Mbps nationwide and 9.3 Mbps in some parts of the country.
China Mobile also lost a considerable number of high-end users to its rivals, whose nationwide coverage is better.
In the early days of 3G, none of the telecoms offered high-speed services. But China Mobile's rivals quickly accelerated speeds for their customers as the electronics industry responded to international demand for WCDMA and CDMA2000 equipment. Indeed, in some countries WCDMA technology has been giving 3G customers a nearly 4G experience with download speeds of 80 Mbps.
Standards set by an international trade association require that 4G systems provide upload speeds of at least 50 Mbps for uploads, and 100 Mbps for downloads.
China Unicom's WCDMA technology is more mature and successful than its rivals, which helps explain the company's cool reaction to 4G licensing. A company source said a major 3G network investment spree that started in 2008 has paid off with customer-satisfying high-speed services, and that maintaining the network costs no more than 10 billion yuan a year.
Indeed by early 2014, the source said, China Unicom's 3G network is expected to achieve data transfer speeds of 84 Mbps and thus rival China Mobile's expected 4G network.
Three Chinese electronics companies—Datang, ZTE, and Huawei—have been manufacturing 3G equipment compatible with China Mobile's TD-SCDMA standard. Only a few non-Chinese manufacturers such as Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent have built equipment based on TD-SCDMA.
Datang and the government-affiliated Chinese Academy of Telecommunications Technology developed TD-SCDMA in the 1990s. ZTE, Huawei, and other Chinese companies later joined the effort to develop homegrown technology independent of foreign firms.
Chinese companies also dominate the manufacturing of TD-SCDMA-compatible phones and computer chips, although the U.S.-based manufacturer Qualcomm is also involved.
Companies including Datang, Huawei, Alcatel Shanghai Bell, and Qualcomm later developed TD-LTE, which more closely follows international standards than TD-SCDMA, with a framework that's about 90 percent non-Chinese, said Wang Zequan, vice president of Alcatel Lucent's subsidiary Alcatel Shanghai Bell. The other 10 percent of the system's core technology is controlled by Chinese manufacturers.
The Chinese government has been encouraging global equipment manufacturers to participate in commercial development of TD-LTE equipment. Accepting the challenge to make compatible chips and mobile phones were Samsung and Qualcomm, which developed but in 2008 abandoned CDMA2000, China Telecom's standard.
China Telecom now finds itself at a disadvantage for 4G development. It may be forced to choose between TD-LTE and a standard called FDD LTE, which is used in Hong Kong. And once a choice is made, it will have to spend heavily to build a 4G infrastructure from scratch.
China Mobile has been offering an FDD LTE service in Hong Kong since April 2012 with maximum download speeds of 100 Mbps. The company since then has been working to integrate FDD LTE with the mainland's TD-LTE network.
China Mobile executives are anxious to see large-scale expansion of 4G beyond its trial cities including Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, and Wenzhou. A nationwide upgrade could potentially affect the nation's 870 million 2G customers and 260 million 3G clients.
It would also encourage the electronics industry to move a notch higher on the industrial chain, said Cheng Dejie, a deputy chief engineer at the Sichuan Communications Design Institute. By issuing one or more 4G licenses, the government would "give incentives along the TD-LTE industrial chain and to high-end users," he said.
"Once licenses are issued, China Mobile can seize on the 4G concept for a marketing campaign that blankets China," said Nomura Securities analyst Huang Leping. "Although its network would not be completed and optimized quickly, the message people hear would be that 4G is stronger than 3G, which would help it retain a group of users.
China Mobile has sought licensing since 2012, but regulators have moved slowly mainly due to lobbying against 4G by companies that use the TD-SCDMA standard, said Hou Ziqiang, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Acoustics Research Institute.
A full-scale launch for 4G would basically end research and development of TD-SCDMA. Those Chinese companies like Datang and ZTE already deeply involved in this 3G technology have been assured by the government they'd be given a portion of the market for 4G equipment, an expert at MIIT's Telecom Research Institute told Caixin.
China Mobile apparently won regulators over to TD-LTE after bringing officials from several central government agencies to Hangzhou and Shenzhen for network tests. Included were officials from MIIT, the state-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the National Development and Reform Commission.
The tests proved the TD-LTE network is more efficient and cost-effective than the 3G system. And soon after the tests, the MIIT minister announced 4G licenses would be issued "within a year or so." That promise was adjusted in March to mean by the end of 2013.
China is also keen to promote TD-LTE for the benefit of domestic companies in the global business sphere. Huang Xiaoqing, director of the China Mobile Research Institute, said commercial success of the system in China would help determine whether TD-LTE succeeds globally.
Globally, as of March, 156 commercial 4G networks were operating in sixty-seven countries, according to the Global Mobile Suppliers Association. These include 142 FDD-LTE networks and fourteen TD-LTE systems, including those run by Saudi Telecom, Japan's Softbank, and Bharti Telecom.
Since China and the United States have assigned the same spectrum for TD-LTE services, the standard's development on the mainland would better connect the Chinese and American markets.
In addition to its promotional campaign at home, China Mobile is leading a global push called the TD-LTE Initiative. The effort so far has attracted members from more than seventy telecom operators whose potential customers include 70 percent of the world's population.
Nomura's Huang said TD-LTE would an added boost in China if Softbank succeeds with its ongoing bid for U.S. operator Sprint. A deal would make Softbank the world's third-largest telecom operator. China Mobile is the largest.

"Climate change will have devastating impacts and the City of Hudson must reduce greenhouse gas emissions," says Mayor Kamal Johnson. "We must prepare for a changing climate by identifying and deploying adaptation strategies. It's an added benefit that many of these climate strategies will save money over the long-term."
The City of Hudson is pursuing many initiatives to become more environmentally sustainable and resilient.
Land Use & Natural Resources
Conservation Advisory Council
Per NYS General Municipal Law, each municipality is sanctioned to create a Conservation Advisory Council to advise local government on environmental matters and review development proposals with potential environmental impact. Since 2015 the Hudson Conservation Advisory Council has worked as a volunteer board to ensure the conservation of the City's natural resources and the enhancement and protection of its environment while fostering unified actions on environmental matters.
The City of Hudson produced and approved a comprehensive plan in 2002, which provides a vision for the future of the community and recommends policies to achieve that vision.
Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP)
This program was administered through the NYS Department of State and provides coastal areas, including Hudson Estuary riverfront communities, with support for planning and implementing improvements on their waterfront. Climate adaptation and flood reduction strategies are encouraged as part of the LWRP process. See the Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan.
City of Hudson Natural Resources Inventory
In 2019, the Hudson Conservation Advisory Council produced a Natural Resource and Open Space Inventory that was approved by the Common Council in July 2019.
Columbia County Natural Resources Inventory
The Columbia County Environmental Management Council produced a county-wide Natural Resources Inventory in 2018, which was approved by the Columbia County Board of Supervisors.
Tree Inventory and Tree Management Plan
In 2020, the City of Hudson was awarded an Urban Forestry Grant from The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The $20,000 grant will fund the creation of a tree inventory and tree management plan executed by professional foresters.
Parks and Trails Improvements (in progress)
Oakdale Lake Watershed Analysis and Amelioration Project - Friends of Oakdale and the Columbia Land Conservancy received an Environmental Justice grant from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation to map the Oakdale Lake watershed and study its water quality.
Additional projects include Promenade Hill Park and Empire State Trail.

Hudson River Estuary Program
Water Resource Summary
Stormwater/Sewer Separation (in progress)
In older cities, stormwater and sewage are often carried in the same drainage system. During heavy rainfall these combined drainage systems can get overwhelmed, causing an inadvertent release of sewage into waterways. The City of Hudson is undertaking a project to separate stormwater and sewerage into separate drainage systems in an effort to reduce flooding and pollution.

Complete Streets Improvements (in progress)
Complete Streets is a term used to describe ordinary city streets that are designed to allow people of all ages and abilities to walk,bike, take the busand drive less. By "completing the street" to encourage movement, kids, grandparents, adults of all ages can be active, healthy and feel connected to their neighborhoods. Projects include Hudson Connects, Sidewalks, and Truck Study.
Road-stream crossing management plan (in progress)
The 2014 National Climate Assessment indicated that the Northeastern United States experienced a 71% increase in very heavy precipitation events from 1958 to 2012. The bridges and culverts that bring our roads over streams may not have the capacity to handle increasing storm water from more intense rainfall. In addition to contributing to flood risk, undersized culverts can also pose problems for the movement of fish and other aquatic animals. Hudson is partnering with Cornell Cooperative Extension to assess road-stream crossings and create a management plan to address problem areas.
Reducing Emissions & Conserving Energy
Clean Energy Community
An initiative of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the Clean Energy Communities Program provides funding and technical support to communities that are implementing energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainable development projects. Hudson completed four out of the 10 High Impact Actions that save energy and money, and contribute to lowering greenhouse gas emissions, to achieve the Clean Energy Community designation.
Becoming a Climate Smart Community
The New York State Climate Smart Communities (CSC) Program is a network of communities engaged in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving climate resilience. Municipalities become involved with the program by adopting the CSC Pledge, which includes 10 elements that help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and adapt to a changing climate. Municipalities that participate in the Climate Smart Certification Program can access free technical support and funding opportunities to complete projects. The City of Hudson has taken the CSC pledge, formed a Climate Smart Task Force and is pursuing certification.
Located at the city parking lot on Columbia Street between 5th and 6th. (Learn more about Electric Vehicles and upcoming webinars)
Lighting improvements at 701 Union St will have an annual savings of $6,600 and 59,857.01 KWH. Hudson is also working on energy improvements to streetlights.

Climate Smart Resiliency Planning Tool
This is a tool developed as part of the NYS Climate Smart Communities program that evaluates a community's policies and planning documents to help identify opportunities to address vulnerabilities to flooding and other climate change related hazards. In 2018, the City of Hudson worked with Cornell Cooperative Extension to complete the Climate Smart Resiliency Planning Tool.
Community Resilience Building Workshop (not officially approved or adopted)
In March of 2017, the City of Hudson participated in a Community Resilience Building Workshop (CRB) that was facilitated by The Nature Conservancy and Hudson River Watershed Alliance. The CRB is a day-long workshop that engages communities in identifying climate change related hazards and to identify opportunities to reduce risk.
Hosting the Cornell University Climate Adaptive Design Studio
The Climate-Adaptive Design (CAD) Studio links Cornell students in landscape architecture with Hudson Riverfront communities to explore design alternatives for more climate resilient, beautiful and connected waterfront areas. The studio is an effort in partnership with Cornell Landscape Architecture, Cornell Water Resources Institute, the NYS DEC Hudson River Estuary Program and the participating municipality. The CAD Studio envisioned a more resilient Hudson. Learn more on CAC Page.
Columbia County Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP)
The HMP is intended to anticipate and plan for natural hazards that put people and property at risk. The Columbia County HMP, approved in November of 2018 is a multi-jurisdictional plan that includes the City of Hudson along with other towns and villages in the county. The HMP is updated every five years as required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and is a requirement to achieve eligibility for federal disaster assistance.

CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like nutrient found in almost every every cell of the body.
CQ10 acts as an antioxidant and also enables cells to manufacture and burn adenosine triphosphate for increased energy.
The main reasons to use Coenzyme Q10 include heart health (lower blood pressure), antioxidant usage, increased energy, and its neuroprotective effects on the brain.
The CoQ treated group blood systolic blood pressure lowered 17.8 +/- 7.3 mm Hg. Results suggest CoQ may be safely offered to hypertensive patients as an alternative treatment option.
A rat study showed that administration of TAM along with CoQ10 restored the activities to a significant level thereby preventing cancer cell proliferation.
Results show that oral administration of coenzyme Q10 increases both brain and brain mitochondrial concentrations. They provide further evidence that coenzyme Q10 can exert neuroprotective effects that might be useful in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
One study showed that There was increased frequency of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness with remacemide and increased frequency of stomach upset with coenzyme Q10. Note that it was the remacemide used in the study that gave much worse side effects while the side effects of CoQ10 were minimal.
MTS Nutrition CoQ10 was created.
NutraBio CoQ10 with Bioperine was created.
Quality of Life CoQ10-SR was created.
Thorne Research Q-Best 100 was created.

Q: Submit Form using Onchange without clicking any key Made this simple form that interfaces with a Database, but when I enter a Barcode, I have to press a keyboard key, I've tried many JS commands, but I can't make it work automatically

<?php
if(!isset($_GET["barcode"]))
{
    <form name="form1" action="barcodeindex.php">
    <input type="text" onChange="this.form.submit()">
}
else
{
    $code=$_GET["barcode"];
    echo "
The Barcode is $code
";
}

A: OnChange triggers only when you change focus outside text field, not on every key pressed in text field. If you need to submit every time key is pressed add event listener for OnKeyPress.
Suggestion: Make submit in separate function, and use JQuery to assign events. Place them in separate .js file and make apache headers not to cache it. Or add yourscript.js?ver1.1 as name where you include it. Event assign must be in JQuery onDocumentReady function.
Also you may want use ajax, since working without submit button, so everything saved once it changed.

The polio-like illness is not new but there has been an increase in cases this year with at least eight reported in Texas.
Three children at UPMC Children's Hospital are suspected of having AFM, while 38 others in 16 states have been diagnosed recently.
During 2015, CDC did not receive information about large EV-D68 outbreaks in the United States, and laboratories reported only limited EV-D68 detections to CDC's National Enterovirus Surveillance System (NESS). AFM is basically a viral infection and its exact cause of happening is still not known.
Between August 2014 and August 2018, the CDC received information on a total of 362 confirmed cases of AFM nationwide. According to the Minnesota Department of Health, symptoms include sudden muscle weakness in the arms or legs, sometimes following a respiratory illness, neck weakness or stiffness, drooping eyelids or a facial droop, and difficulty swallowing or slurred speech.
Numbness or a tingling sensation is rare in people with the condition, though some people experience pain in the arms or legs. But a few still have partial paralysis and depending on which muscles are affected, children may need ventilators to help them breathe and may have to use wheelchairs. But in very rare cases, they can damage the nerves.
Health officials are warning parents to be on the lookout for symptoms. AFM can cause a range of types and severity of symptoms, but the commonality among them is a loss of strength or movement in one or more arms or legs. A doctor can examine a patient's nervous system and the places on the body where he or she has weakness, poor muscle tone, and decreased reflexes. Acute flaccid myelitis is tricky to diagnose and may require tests of spinal fluid, as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The CDC also stresses that while rates of AFM are increasing, it's still an incredibly rare disease. AFM or neurologic conditions like it have a variety of causes, including viruses, environmental toxins, and genetic disorders.
"There is no specific treatment for AFM, but a doctor who specializes in treating brain and spinal cord illnesses (neurologist) may recommend certain interventions on a case-by-case basis", the CDC said.
The CDC does not yet know the long-term effects of AFM Some patients have recovered quickly, while others continue to have paralysis, it says. It can also be caused by poliovirus and non-polio enteroviruses, mosquito-borne viruses (such as West Nile virus or Zika virus) and possibly by non-infectious conditions.


You may develop a heart condition, or find out you have cancer, or be in a wreck that requires hospitalization, or fall off a ladder working on your house. All of these impact your life. We're here to make sure that while you're getting healthy, your finances stay healthy.
Most people don't realize their largest expenses during illnesses are not their medical costs, but the indirect costs that your medical insurance will not cover.
What are those indirect costs?
We offer affordable supplemental plans that cover the financial gap left by traditional insurance. Our policies provide coverage for all the indirect costs of injury, sickness and medical care. A powerful layer of financial protection for you, your family and your employees in the event of a serious accident or illness.
Do you have a savings account to pay your deductibles? How about enough to also pay your other bills once your out-of-pocket limits are reached? If you are like most Americans and don't, we have an affordable option that provides critical financial protection when you need it most.
Best of all, our policies are refundable. If you do not need the coverage, or are fortunate enough to not have a claim we'll pay your premiums back to you.
RIE offers Supplemental Insurance, sometimes referred to as Gap Insurance. This is because our coverage fills the financial gap not covered by traditional health, medical and injury policies.
Indirect costs of injuries and hospitalization typically represent 70-80% of total costs, yet only the direct costs are normally covered by your health insurance. Unless you have a large savings account to cover these expenses, you will be exposed when you need help the most.
Customers say our coverage is surprisingly affordable, with policies starting at less than $40 per month. We offer different levels of coverage based upon your financial need.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could get your premium money back, instead of just thinking you're wasting your money? The products we offer do exactly that.
Depending on the state you live in, you will get your premium money back, minus any claims. No fine print, period.
Use it whichever way you want. It's yours, tax free (consult an accountant if you're a business).
In some states, rather than receiving your money back, the policies contain a Cash Value Benefit.
