The project is part of Statens Vegvesen (Road and Traffic Authorities) effort to strengthen the fjord lands of the west coast as a tourist destination. Code Architecture won the competition for this project.
Gaularfjellet is crossed by Riksvei 13 which was opened for traffic in 1938. The highest point is 748 m.a.s.l., in proximity of the Jostedalsbreen glacier.
The look-out platform features three cantilevering triangular shaped plates, cantilevering up to 18 m. The solution became a rather simple approach with no post tensioning, which emphasizes the architectural intention.
DIFK has been involved in the project since preingineering phase with responsibility for structural concept and analysis.

Beto O'Rourke thinks people have died because of the border wall
December 15, 2018 | BPR Wire | Print Article
Molly Prince, DCNF
Democratic Rep. Robert "Beto" O'Rourke of Texas claimed Friday that the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border is the reason why an increasing number of migrants have died as they illegally attempt to cross into the country.
"The number of people dying at the U.S.-Mexico border in some years has grown," O'Rourke said during a town hall in El Paso, Texas. "In some years has grown because it's connected to that wall that we have already built that pushes people who are at their most desperate and vulnerable to ever-more inhospitable stretches of the Chihuahua Desert."
The Texas congressman explained that the number of people trying to cross the border increased almost 40 percent between 1998 and 2010 after some of the barrier was constructed in the El Paso sector.
"The wall in this area was built in 2006, 2007, and 2008," he continued. "So even though total crossing attempts had decreased, the number of deaths went up."
Town Hall https://t.co/ShnZkxDeMU
— Rep. Beto O'Rourke (@RepBetoORourke) December 14, 2018
O'Rourke has long argued against a border wall. Following President Donald Trump's executive order in September to erect an 18-foot steel bollard wall to replace the existing pedestrian fencing in El Paso, in O'Rourke's congressional district, the congressman called the existing chain-link fence "bad enough." He emphasized the way to improve safety and security is to "ensure that we are maximizing the potential from everyone … [and] treating each other with respect and dignity."
During the town hall, the failed Democratic senatorial candidate referred to Trump's request to fund a wall an "expression of our smallness, our meanness, our fear to the rest of the world."
O'Rourke, who has claimed to oppose open borders, has faced backlash for refusing to clarify where he stood on the migrant caravan that was heading toward the U.S. During his unsuccessful run to unseat Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in November, O'Rourke dodged commenting on the topic despite immigration and border security overwhelmingly being the top issues for voters in Texas.

Why Complementarity Matters for Stability—Hong Kong SAR and Singapore as Asian Financial Centers

There is much speculation regarding a "race for dominance" among financial centers in Asia, arising from the anticipated financial opening up of China. This frame of reference is, to an extent, a predilection that results from a traditional understanding of financial centers as possessing historical, geographic, and scale economy advantages. This paper, however, suggests that there is an alternative prism through which the evolution of financial centers in Asia needs to be viewed. It underscores the importance of "complementarity" rather than "dominance" to better serve regional and global financial stability. We posit that such complementarity is vital, through network analysis of the roles of Hong Kong SAR and Singapore as the current leading financial centers in the region. This analysis suggests that a competition for dominance can result in de-stabilizing levels of interconnectivity that render the global "network" as a whole more susceptible to rapid propagation of shocks. We then examine the regulatory and policy challenges that may be encountered in furthering such complementary coexistence.

Heidi Range has admitted her Dancing On Ice performances are not exactly music to the ears because she cannot stop grunting.
The 28-year-old Sugababes singer has revealed she is the Maria Sharapova of the rink as sounds spill from her lips due to the exertion of routines.
Heidi said the 'manly grunts' and yelps often surprise her professional partner, Andrei Lipanov, during rehearsals, and she's glad she has no microphone.
The star has already amassed an array of injuries from the ITV1 show and is taking multi-vitamins and anti-inflammatories with ice packs to hand.
"I had a bone come out of my wrist, a bone come out of my ribs and pulled a muscle in my bum, but nothing serious. The wrist was when I fell on to my hand, but the rib and the bum are from the lifts.
Heidi admitted she was hugely disappointed to be put in the skate-off opposite Blue Peter presenter Andy Akinwolere in the first show.


The b-day outfit! In the last post you could see what goodies I baked for my high tea, but more important: This is what I was wearing! I got the dress from the H&M New Icons Collection. The dress wasn't on my wishlist (here) but when I saw it in the store, I loved it! I can wear this to the office with a white blazer on top, and still feel that I'm wearing something different and outstanding compared to the black suits. I popped my new white faux leather sleeveless bikerjacket on top. Had been searching for this one for ages, my size was sold-out everywhere! And I didn't want to get a larger size. The bottom part of my outfit are my ususal suspects: leather leggings and sneakers. Since I was running around all day preparing the High Tea and pouring drinks, some comfort was legit.
Well it's Friday today! My favorite day of the week. Well that is because I only work 4 days a week, have my day off on Friday. Now I can really work on the blog and do all the other stuff that I couldn't fit in my weekend. Feel's so much more relaxed, I can really recommend it! I have a really full agenda today, and some interesting appointments for the blog, but more behind the scenes stuff (so interesting for me, not so much for you are a reader though).
ohh dat witte giletje is echt zo leuk!
ik weet niet of ze dat shirt nog hebben, ik heb hem vorige zomer gekocht!
nice outfit ;) staat je goed de icons collectie van de h&m is echt vet !
Hele leuke outfit! Super leuk jurkje!
Personal: Go Shorty it's my 29th Birthday!

Pikachu's Winter Vacation 04: "Pichu and Pikachu's Winter Vacation 2001 [We Pichu Brothers - The Tale of the Balloon Commotion]"
Pokémon Chronicles Episode 20: "Trouble in Big Town"
The adventures in Millennium Town, the setting of the mini-movie "Pichu and Pikachu," continue! In Millennium Town, the Pichu brothers call their friends (Moochul, Buby, Upah, and Himeguma) to their hideout to spend the afternoon playing with each other. However, once everyone arrives, the two brothers get into a fight which ends up with the younger Pichu brother becoming separated from the rest of the pokemon. So, all the Pichu's friends fan out to search for him. As Moochul, Buby, and Himeguma spend their time running from an angry Delvil, Upah comes across the missing Pichu brother. On the way back to the hideout, the small mouse pokemon finds some balloons and decides to hold them. However, the balloons have enough power to lift him up, and before long he finds himself floating high above the city! A wild Yamirami uses its beak to pop the balloons, one by one, allowing the mouse pokemon to land safely. The Pichu brother eventually reunites with the other pokemon and bring him back to their hideout. There, the two Pichu brothers start to fight again, and before long the other pokemon are dragged into it as well. As various elemental attacks fly left and right, the pokemon unknowingly create a massive ice playground! Once the pokemon notice this, they put aside their differences and play on the slide, happy to be together once again.
I'm really digging these Pichu Brothers specials. I didn't think I would since I generally find the regular Pikachu shorts to be kind of annoying, but I'm really enjoying these specials for some reason. I can't put my finger on it, but there's just something about this particular gathering of pokemon that works. This special also really made me like Upah. I've never noticed how great the little guy can be.
I do wonder, however, what happened to the dozens of other pokemon who hung out with the Pichu brothers in "Pichu and Pikachu." I understand that, from a production standpoint, it's much easier to deal with five pokemon instead of 50, but it's still weird to me that so many of the PIchu's friends would have just up and left like that.
The dubbed version of this episode fared MUCH better than the last one. However, 4Kids really should have aired this episode before "Of Meowth and Pokémon," since this was released about three years before that episode. But hey, the short's kept in its original aspect ratio, which is a nice treat considering how rare it is to see anything dubbed by 4Kids remain in widescreen.
The great jazzy soundtrack is replaced once again. The dubbed version of the third mini-movie kept the Japanese music, so if you've seen that, you know what you're missing out on in this episode.
The opening shots of the city are removed. These 18 seconds are similar to the shots removed right before the title screen in the previous episode.
After that, 4Kids removes the opening theme, Pichu Pika Swing. It's the same song that was used as the opening for "Pichu and Pikachu," but it's a longer version of the song and the animation's different.
This opening footage lasts two minutes and 32 seconds.
The narrator in the dub version is the regular TV series narrator (Mike Pollock), but the narrator in the Japanese version is Takashima Gara (and not Ueda Yuuji like in the main TV series). Aside from the difference in the gender of the narrator, a lot of the narrator's lines in this special are pretty different depending on which version you're watching. Basically, the Japanese narrator tells us about how peaceful the pokemon are and how dreadful it is when they start to argue, while the English narrator is just kind of like "oh, those Pichu brothers are at it again!" while sort of shrugging his shoulders. It's not as bad as it was in the previous episode, but it's still far from being anything close to an "accurate translation."
4Kids adds a Chronicles-style title screen to the very front of the episode.
In contrast, the Japanese title screen doesn't occur until right before the Pichu brothers make their debut.
4Kids lengthens the aforementioned first shot featuring the Pichu brothers by three seconds.
When each of Pichu's friends (Moochul, Buby, Upah, and Himeguma) make their entrance into the episode, the narrator in the Japanese version introduces each character. She tells us their name and lets us know what kind of personalities they have; for example, we're told that Buby is a fussy boy (kimuzukashii otoko no ko) pokemon and Marilli acts like the older sister type to our heroes.
In the dub, the narrator skips the introductions and instead talks about how pokemon can't resist "the Pichu's call." While these introductions really aren't super important, since their personalities are pretty obvious, they're still nice little tidbits.
Two seconds are trimmed from the shot of the younger Pichu brother floating away on a balloon before the episode's main commercial break.
Only one paint edit in this one; ALBEGO RISTURAUNT (sic) is painted away.
When the Pichu hold each other in fear after Marilli flips out, one of the shots of them being frightened is extended by two seconds in the dub.
4Kids adds a Randy Newman-ish vocal song to the end of the episode, which, to my knowledge, has never been used in the dub. 4Kids didn't dub any songs for the original "Pichu and Pikachu" short, so I have no idea where this song came from...it's possible that 4Kids recorded an original song for this episode, but I find that highly doubtful.
In the Japanese version, we just hear jazzy instrumental music.
The last nine seconds of the episode are removed. This basically consists of a pan-up shot of the gang's tire structure thing. And hey! There's no TO BE CONTINUED text!

Home RANDOM Sports Today – Solskjaer demonstrates, again, he lacks the judgment to succeed
Sports Today – Solskjaer demonstrates, again, he lacks the judgment to succeed
MANCHESTER, England — There is no hiding place in the Champions League. If you are not ruthless and decisive in key moments, the only guarantee is that you will pay a heavy price. It gets even worse when you throw naivety into the mix, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Manchester United discovered to their cost with a 3-1 home defeat against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
United have shown great promise at times in the Champions League this season by winning in Paris and beating RB Leipzig 5-0, but they have also displayed inexperience and ineptitude — the shambolic defending while losing to Istanbul Basaksehir was a particular low point — and the shortcomings of their players and manager came to the fore once again against PSG.
Solskjaer's side went into this Group H clash knowing that a draw would secure qualification for the round of 16 ahead of next week's trip to Leipzig. But missed chances by United's forwards and an inexplicable decision by Solskjaer not to substitute midfielder Fred when he was walking headlong into an inevitable red card enabled PSG to claim the victory that revives their own qualification hopes and leaves United needing to avoid defeat in Germany on Tuesday in order to make it through to the knockout stages.
They may have to do it without Marcus Rashford too, with the forward being forced off with a shoulder injury late in the second half.

"We go into a game wanting to win," Solskjaer said after the match. "The games against PSG and Leipzig show how much we've developed in these types of games. It was just about finishing today."
Solskjaer's United team has proven to be so spectacularly unpredictable that it would be foolish to bet against any result when they face Julian Nagelsmann's side in six days' time, but they really shouldn't be travelling to that game in need of a point to qualify.
Last month's defeat in Istanbul now looks hugely damaging to United's hopes, with the Turkish outfit losing every other game in the group. That loss left United vulnerable to another setback and PSG ensured that they suffered it at Old Trafford, with two goals from Neymar and one from Marquinhos giving the French champions a rather flattering winning margin.
But United are now in a mess of their own making, which began in Turkey and culminated with Solskjaer's failure to replace Fred at half-time in this game while the score was 1-1, thanks to Rashford's deflected equaliser.
Everyone inside Old Trafford could see that Fred was walking a tightrope from the moment he escaped a red card for pushing his head into the face of Leandro Paredes on 20 minutes. Referee Daniele Orsato reviewed in the incident on the pitchside monitor before deciding only to issue a yellow card to the United midfielder. It was an incredibly lucky escape for Fred, but by half-time, he had also somehow avoided a second yellow following reckless challenges on Marco Verratti and Paredes again.
Any manager, not even an experienced one, would ordinarily withdraw Fred at the interval to avoid the risk of him being sent off.
United have a track record of being hit by costly red cards in Champions League games at Old Trafford. Rafael da Silva (against Bayern Munich in 2010), Nani (Real Madrid 2013) and Paul Pogba (PSG 2019) were all sent off in games that either ended in defeat or elimination for United.
Solskjaer should know that red cards in the Champions League are often punished by ruthless opponents, so he should have replaced Fred with Pogba or Nemanja Matic and protected his team. His subsequent admission that he thought about withdrawing Fred at half-time, before deciding against it, does not do Solskjaer many favours.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's failure to replace Fred eventually cost Man United after the midfielder was sent off. Getty
"Fred shouldn't put his head towards him [in the first half]," Solskjaer said, when asked about the apparent headbutt on Paredes. "I don't think he touched him. He was a bit lucky to stay on."
So did you think about taking him off?
"Yeah … Fred has played really well," Solskjaer said. "We spoke about staying calm and on your feet. The second yellow card was nowhere near a foul. Ander [Herrera] knows that."
It is true that, by the time Fred was dismissed on 70 minutes for a careless challenge on Herrera, United had missed two clear chances to take the lead. Anthony Martial missed both of those golden opportunities to score, once again highlighting that he lacks the cold-headed ability of a truly elite striker to hit the back of the net. Had Martial scored either of those second-half chances, United would have gone 2-1 ahead and in a position to kill the game. But the reality was different, with Marquinhos restoring PSG's lead following another failure by United defend a corner properly.
"If Marquinhos had bigger studs on he'd have been offside," Solskjaer said, before adding unconvincingly, "You can't really put your finger on the deciding factors."
The goal was a minute before Fred was sent off, so United's hopes had quite literally gone in 60 seconds.
But this is where the finger of blame points back towards Solskjaer because Fred should have been taken off by that stage. The consequence of him staying on the pitch to be sent off meant United had to play the final 20 minutes with 10 men against one of the best attacking teams in Europe, but it was a self-inflicted wound because Solskjaer should have taken that eventuality out of the equation. The only surprise was that it took PSG another 20 minutes to score again, with Neymar's stoppage-time goal ensuring that the Parisian club now hold the head-to-head advantage over United.
This is not the first time that United have suffered for poor finishing and bad managerial decisions in Europe. They also cast a shadow over Sir Alex Ferguson's Champions League failures. But there is nothing worse than a defeat that has been influenced by your own decisions and Solskjaer, once again, has shown himself to be lacking at the highest level.

Peter Rowan Gets Cosmic On "From My Mountain" Featuring Molly Tuttle And Lindsay Lou
Seminal acoustic artist Peter Rowan has released the title track from his upcoming album that features two Americana heavyweights as well: Molly Tuttle and Lindsay Lou. The song is actually "cosmic", inspired by Rowan's longterm interest in Tibetan music and culture and his friendship with the Tibetan singer Yungchen Lhamo.

The Great British Bake Off is back and in full swing and it has reminded our chiropractors at Hounslow Family Chiropractic Clinic of the need for all you keen (or not even so keen) bakers and cooks out there to keep your backs safe when baking.
It's all to easy to forget that we put our backs at risk doing every day activities. Here are some simple pieces of advice fro our chiropractor to help keep your back safe when baking.
Working at a counter top that's too high can cause back problems. Stopping over for period of time puts pressure on your back. If your counter top is too high then you can spread your feet further apart to lower your height you can also use a chopping board to help raise the height of the surface you are working at.
It's surprising how much lifting,bending and carrying you do when baking ( or even shopping for ingredients!). Always think about yoru back and remember to bend at the knees especially when lifting pr putting down objects.
Take regular breaks and do some simple stretches – your body and back will thank you.
Don't let the baking bug get to your back follow the advice from our Hounslow Chiropractors to keep our back safe.

Dispatch Broadcast Group Announces Sale Of Its Stations
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dispatch Broadcast Group has announced the sale of its television and radio properties to TEGNA Inc. of Tysons, Va.
TEGNA owns 49 television stations in 41 markets and is the largest group owner of NBC affiliated stations and the second largest group owner of CBS affiliated stations.
Included in the sale, in which TEGNA will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of each of the companies, are:
WBNS-TV (Channel 10), founded in 1949 by the Wolfe family of Columbus. The CBS affiliate is the longtime market leader among central Ohio TV stations.
WTHR-TV of Indianapolis (Channel 13), founded in 1957 by Crosley Broadcasting Corp. Purchased by The Dispatch Broadcast Group in 1975, WTHR has been one of the strongest NBC affiliates in the nation.
WBNS Radio (1460 AM and 97.1 FM). The original AM station, WCAH, was founded in 1922. The Wolfe family purchased it in 1927 and changed the call letters to WBNS. The modern day FM station originated in 1957.
WALV-CD, a UHF and digital channel and a wholly-owned subsidiary of WTHR. Founded in 1988, WALV was converted in 2000 to a local weather service – the SkyTrak Weather Network and is now a MeTV affiliated station.
p>The sale is subject to the approval of the Federal Communications Commission and the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.
Michael J. Fiorile, chairman and CEO of The Dispatch Printing Company and Dispatch Broadcast Group, said, "After decades of proud service to the Columbus and Indianapolis communities, the Wolfe family determined this is the right time for a transition. The family is grateful to have enjoyed strong community support for these stations over so many years and looks forward to continuing their support of these communities."
The transaction has no bearing on Capitol Square Ltd., The Dispatch Printing Company's wholly-owned, broad-based commercial real estate business, said Fiorile, its chairman.

Pharmacological treatments for ADHD can be delivered by immediate-release or extended-release (multiple bead, osmotic-controlled release, prodrug) systems
Home | Disease management » Pharmacological therapy » Mechanism of delivery
There are several ways in which pharmacological treatments for ADHD can be delivered:
Immediate-release tablets or capsules are the most widely used drug-delivery systems. They are designed to undergo disintegration in the stomach into smaller granules and subsequent dissolution in the fluids of the gastrointestinal tract.1
Figure: Immediate release. Reproduced with kind permission from Gupta A et al. AAPS PharmSciTech 2009; 10: 495-499.1
Extended-release formulations are designed to produce slow, uniform absorption of the drug.2
Commonly used extended-release formulations of ADHD medications are described below.
Multiple bead system
The multiple bead system consists of a water-soluble gelatin capsule that dissolves quickly once swallowed, releasing drug-containing beads of two different dissolution rates.3-6 Multiple bead formulations release a steady level of drug into the bloodstream, allowing for once-daily dosing.3-6
Once-daily dosing has practical advantages, particularly in young patients. Furthermore, the potential for stimulant abuse may be lower for extended-release formulations compared with immediate-release formulations.7

Osmotic-controlled release oral delivery system
Methylphenidate is also available as an osmotic-controlled release oral delivery system formulation. The outer layer of the capsule is coated with methylphenidate, which quickly releases once the pill is ingested.8,9
The inner layers are set up along an osmotic gradient; the first compartment, with a small amount of the drug, releases via simple diffusion, but the second compartment, with a higher amount of the drug, releases as a result of the osmotic pressure created when water reacts with the third compartment.8
The osmotic-controlled release oral delivery system was designed to provide a longer duration of effect than the previous multiple bead system (Ritalin SR®).9

Prodrug
Prodrugs are pharmacologically inactive molecules that are converted into one or more active metabolites through a natural metabolic process.10,11
These molecules are designed to enhance the attributes of the active drug, such as enhanced solubility, increased/enhanced absorption and distribution, and prolonged systemic availability.10,11
Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX)
The prodrug is a formulation that is not active until it is metabolised by the body. LDX is one such drug; lysine is covalently linked to amfetamine and the drug only becomes active after lysine is cleaved by enzymes in the bloodstream.12,13
More specifically, the hydrolysis of LDX is thought to result from aminopeptidase-like activity in the red blood cell cytosol.14
Figure: Prodrug LDX for the treatment of ADHD. Figure developed using multiple sources.12-17
The lisdexamfetamine prodrug becomes active only after it has been absorbed by the intestinal tract and has been converted to dextroamphetamine and l-lysine.7

'Rick and Morty' Unveils Live-Action Promo Starring Christopher Lloyd
Claire Epting Updated: September 3, 2021
Rick and Morty unveiled a brand new teaser trailer, which depicts a live-action version of the show's titular characters. Rick Sanchez is played by none other than Christopher Lloyd, who portrayed Doc Brown in 1985's Back to the Future. This makes total sense, as Back to the Future was one of the inspirations behind the popular Adult Swim show.
Watch the short teaser below, which features Lloyd alongside Jaeden Lieberher (It, Knives Out) as Rick' grandson Morty:
As the post indicates, this live-action incarnation of the duo takes place in the C-132 universe. It's unclear how this teaser will fit in with this season's finale, or the future of the show in general. Will we be getting a full-length episode starring live-action Rick and Morty? Only time will tell.
Back in 2018, Lloyd had expressed interest in lending his voice to the irreverent adult cartoon. "I don't follow it closely, but I've seen a few episodes and I gotta tell you, I think it's a lot of fun. I know it's some kind of parody of Doc and Marty," he told the Phoenix New Times. When asked if he would ever seriously consider having a voice role on the show, he responded, "I'd like to, of course. I think it's really fun."
Now that Rick and Morty has been renewed for 70 more episodes by Adult Swim, there's no longer going to be long periods of time between seasons. "We're not going to do these long breaks, these chasms in between seasons anymore," series co-creator Justin Roiland told Polygon. "We're going to schedule vacation time and just keep the machine going. It's going to be really cool."
The season finale of Rick and Morty Season 5 arrives on Adult Swim Sunday, September 5.

to the behavior of a node sending a Resource Reservation Protocol
(RSVP) Traffic Engineering (TE) Path Error message and to the
behavior of a node receiving an RSVP Path Error message for a
preempted Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS
reference to the notion of TE LSP preemption, see [RFC3209]).
[RFC2205] defines two RSVP error message types: PathErr and ResvErr
that are generated when an error occurs.  Path Error messages
(PathErr) are used to report errors and travel upstream toward the
head-end of the flow.  Resv Error messages (ResvErr) travel
downstream toward the tail-end of the flow.
This document describes only PathErr message processing for the
specific case of a preempted TE LSP, where the term preemption is
defined in [RFC3209].
1.1.  Requirements Language
2.  Protocol Behavior
PathErr messages are routed hop-by-hop using the path state
established when a Path message is routed through the network from
the head-end to its tail-end.
As stated in [RFC2205], PathErr messages do not modify the state of
any node through which they pass; they are only reported to the head-
end of the TE LSP (Traffic Engineering Label Switched Path).
The format of the PathErr message is defined in Section 3. of
The ERROR_SPEC object includes the IP address of the node that
detected the error (Error Node Address), and specifies the error
through two fields.  The Error Code field encodes the category of the
error, for example, Policy Control Failure or Unknown object class.
The Error Value field qualifies the error code to indicate the error
with more precision.  [RFC3209] extends RSVP as defined in [RFC2205]
for the management of MPLS-TE LSPs.  [RFC3209] specifies several
additional conditions that trigger the sending of a RSVP PathErr
message for which new error codes and error values have been defined
that extend the list defined in [RFC2205].  The exact circumstances
under which a TE LSP is preempted and such PathErr messages are sent
are defined in [RFC3209] and will not be repeated here.
Values for the Error Code and Error Value fields defined in
[RFC2205], [RFC3209], and other documents are maintained in a
registry by the IANA.
The error conditions fall into two categories:
o  Fatal errors represent disruptive conditions for a TE LSP.
o  Non-fatal errors are non-disruptive conditions that have occurred
for this TE LSP.
PathErr messages may be used in two circumstances:
o  during TE LSP establishment, and
o  after a TE LSP has been successfully established.
Nodal behavior is dependent on which combination of the four cases
listed above applies.  The following sections describe the expected
behavior at nodes that perform a preemption action for a TE LSP (and
therefore report using error PathErr messages), and at nodes that
receive PathErr messages.  This text is a clarification and
restatement of the procedures set out in [RFC3209] and does not
define any new behavior.
2.1.  Behavior at Detecting Nodes
In the case of fatal errors ("Hard Preemption"; see Section 4.7.3 of
[RFC3209] ), the detecting node MUST send a PathErr message reporting
the error condition, and MUST clear the corresponding Path and Resv
(control plane) states.  A direct implication is that the data-plane
resources of such a TE LSP are also released, thus resulting in
traffic disruption.  It should be noted, however, that in fatal error
cases, the LSP has usually already failed in the data plane, and
traffic has already been disrupted.  When the error arises during LSP
establishment, the implications are different to when it arises on an
active LSP since no traffic flows until the LSP has been fully
established.  In the case of non-fatal errors, the detecting node
should send a PathErr message, and must not clear control plane or
data plane state.
2.2.  Behavior at Receiving Nodes
Nodes that receive PathErr messages are all of the nodes along the
path of the TE LSP upstream of the node that detected the error.
This includes the head-end node.  In accordance with Section 3.7.1 of
[RFC2205], a node receiving a PathErr message takes no action upon
it, and consequently the node must not clear Path or Resv control-
plane or data-plane state.  This is true regardless of whether the
error condition reported by the PathErr is fatal or non-fatal.  RSVP
states should only be affected upon receiving a PathTear or ResvTear
message, or in the event of a Path or Resv state timeout.  Further
discussion of the processing of these events is outside the scope of
this document.
Note that [RFC3473] defines a Path_State_Removed flag in the
ERROR_SPEC object carried on a PathErr message.  This field may be
set to change the behavior of upstream nodes that receive the PathErr
message.  When set, the flag indicates that the message sender has
removed Path state (and any associated Resv and data-plane state) for
the TE LSP.  The message receiver should do likewise before
forwarding the message, but may retain state and clear the flag
before forwarding the message.
2.3.  Data-Plane Behavior
Any node clearing either or both the Path or the Resv state of a TE
LSP MUST also free up the data-plane resources allocated to the
corresponding TE LSP.
3.  RSVP PathErr Messages for a Preempted TE LSP
Two Error Codes have been defined to report a preempted TE LSP:
o  As defined in [RFC2750]: Error Code=2: "Policy Control Failure",
Error Value=5: "Flow was preempted"
o  As defined in [RFC2205], Error Code=12: "Service preempted"
They are both fatal errors.
This document does not define any new procedures, but clarifies those
defined in other documents where security considerations are already
specified in [RFC3209] and [RFC3473].  This document does not raise
specific security issues beyond those of existing MPLS-TE.  By
clarifying the procedures, this document reduces the security risk
introduced by non-conformant implementations.  See [SEC_FMWK] for
further discussion of MPLS security issues.

Q: How can I programmatically determine Windows PE version? My application needs to determine whether it is running on Windows PE.
Neither the deprecated GetVersionEx function nor the preferred alternative Version Helper APIs offer any indication whether I am operating on WinPE, only indicating the version of the OS.
This reference lists the compatible APIs for WinPE, so I need to be able limit my app to those APIs.
How can I programmatically determine from my App whether I am on WinPE, and which PE version is running?

A: If you simply need to determine whether you are running WinPE or not, you can check for the presence of the key MiniNT in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control or HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Control. If it is present, you are on WinPE 2.x or higher.
Cited in MSDN docs here, you can see which version of Windows PE youare running at the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinPE. That reference also gives a table of features and functionality each version will provide you.
For very old versions of Windows/WinPE before 2.0, check the version of %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\FACTORY.EXE.

ECO Government Scheme 2019: New Grant Opportunities for You this 2019
Grants and Finance Blog
ECO Government Scheme 2019 has started and the good news is that property owners and private tenants who were denied grants before, could be eligible for the upcoming ECO 3 grants.
ECO3: More Funding Available Per Property
The original run date of ECO2 was from April 2015 to March 2017. But the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy extended it under the name of ECO2t. The number of energy efficiency measures installed during ECO2t were about 50% lower than those installed under ECO2.
But despite the decreasing number of measures installed, ECO3 will retain 75% of ECO2's yearly budget, at a projected cost of £640 million per year. This means that ECO3 has substantially increased fund availability per property.
ECO Government Scheme 2019: Areas of Priority
ECO has funded the installation of energy efficiency measures in 7% of all households in the UK. 13% of these measures were installed in rural areas. The areas with the most grant approvals in previous ECO phases were the North West and North East, while Scotland and Wales take the 3rd and 4th spot.
ECO currently supports companies with high delivery rates in the North West, West Midlands, Yorkshire, the Humber, and Scotland. The government is currently developing a mapping tool that operates at a postcode level to further enhance its ability to target those requiring energy efficiency grants the most.
The tool will use DWP(https://infinityenergyorganisation.co.uk/grants-and-finance-blog/additional-eligibility-criteria-for-uks-affordable-warmth-scheme/) benefits data and housing characteristics data to identify postcodes that match ECO's Affordable Warmth criteria.
ECO Funding 2019: Eligibility Criteria Expansion
ECO 3 has expanded its eligibility criteria for its Affordable Warmth Scheme. The detailed report for the new inclusions to the eligible benefits can be seen here: ECO3 Eligibility Guide
Even ineligible properties can take advantage of the new grants thanks to ECO 3's Local Authority Flexibility Eligibility (LA Flex) that you can read about here: Flexible Eligibility
If the complexity of the new regulations are confusing you, you can rely on us to make things easier. Contact one of our energy advisors today for your free consultation: 0203 638 4030

OLI.P IS A LUCKY STAR
"Everything that happens to me is inextricably linked to time. Time has been on my side since the start of my career. Not least because it has given me the chance to develop myself as an artist," says Oliver Petszokat, better known by his stage name Oli.P.
Good timing was what initially led the Berlin-born star to embark on his successful acting career, which he continues to actively pursue to this day, before he turned his attention to music. His passion for this universe can be traced back to his early days and has enabled him to give powerful voice to his heartfelt messages. Oli.P, who can take pride in the fact that his 1998 version of "Flugzeuge im Bauch" was the top selling single that year, associates the passing of time with one watch brand in particular: Maurice Lacroix.
"My father was and still is a huge fan of the brand. He always wore his Maurice Lacroix with pride and continues to do so to this day. As a small boy, it made a big impression on me. I think that everyone remembers their parents' favourite brand of watch; for me, it is because my father always said he really rated the brand's quality. So, when I was asked to become a friend of the brand, I was obviously particularly proud because it is something so personal and close to the heart for me," he beams.
"We approached Oli.P because we really appreciated the humility with which he has pursued his career. He is an exceptionally talented individual with a close connection to his fans. He is always looking out for new experiences that will allow him to develop," says Stéphane Waser, Managing Director. "We happened to hear about his special connection to our brand and it all fell into place straightaway."
Since Oli.P chose the AIKON as his new favourite watch, it is impossible to imagine him without the brand on his wrist. "I love how the modern, robust design is combined with that real touch of elegance. It suits my style and I can wear it for any occasion. It allows me to express my personality when I appear on TV or perform in one of my videos. For instance, I was really proud to wear it during my new clip "1000 Liebeslieder". This artist doesn't want to be pigeonholed and is currently pursuing numerous projects that he'd love to share with the Maurice Lacroix Community, "I can't tell you what's coming next. Only time can tell!" concludes Oli.P, with a wink.

Data from: Foraging impacts of Asian megafauna on tropical rainforest structure and biodiversity
John Terborgh, Lisa C. Davenport, Lisa Ong & Ahimsa Campos-Arceiz
Megaherbivores are known to influence the structure, composition, and diversity of vegetation. In Central Africa, forest elephants act as ecological filters by breaking tree saplings and stripping them of foliage. Much less is known about impacts of megafauna on Southeast Asian rain forests. Here, we ask whether herbivory by Asian megafauna has impacts analogous to those of African forest elephants. To answer this, we studied forest (1) structure, (2) composition, (3) diversity, and (4) tree...

Data from: Using local ecological knowledge to build mutualistic networks in hyper-diverse and logistically challenging ecosystems
Lisa Ong, Ahimsa Campos-Arceiz & McConkey Kim R.
1. Collecting interaction data to build frugivory or seed dispersal networks is logistically challenging in ecosystems that have very high plant and animal diversity and/or where fieldwork is difficult or dangerous. Consequently, the majority of available networks are from ecosystems with low species diversity or they represent a sub-set of the community. 2. Here, we propose an approach using local ecological knowledge (LEK) of indigenous communities to build interaction databases and weighted networks that would...

Data from: A perceptual bias for man-made objects in humans
Ahamed Miflah Hussain Ismail, Joshua Solomon, Miles Hansard & Isabelle Mareschal
Ambiguous images are widely recognized as a valuable tool for probing human perception. Perceptual biases that arise when people make judgements about ambiguous images reveal their expectations about the environment. While perceptual biases in early visual processing have been well established, their existence in higher-level vision has been explored only for faces, which may be processed differently from other objects. Here we developed a new, highly versatile method of creating ambiguous hybrid images comprising two...

The ability to disperse large seeds, rather than body mass alone, defines the importance of animals in a hyper-diverse seed dispersal network
Lisa Ong, Kim McConkey & Ahimsa Campos-Arceiz
1. Large-bodied animals play irreplaceable roles in seed dispersal, partly due to their capacity to disperse large seeds. Understanding this role at a community level has been limited by the paucity of network studies that include large vertebrates, and the almost complete absence of studies including synzoochoric dispersers. Synzoochoric dispersers can disperse seeds disproportionately large for their body size, potentially overlapping the roles of large-bodied animals. A comprehensive network, inclusive of large vertebrates and synzoochorous...

Megafruit and megafauna diversity are positively associated, while megafruit traits are related to abiotic factors, in Tropical Asia
Kim McConkey, Ahimsa Campos-Arceiz, Richard Corlett, Sushma H. S., Lisa Ong & Jedediah Brodie
Aim For tens of millions of years, herbivorous megafauna were abundant across the globe, fulfilling important ecological roles including seed dispersal. Megafruits are very large fruits that are dispersed most effectively by megafauna. However, megafruits also occur in ecosystems where megafauna are extinct or were never present, emphasizing our incomplete understanding of megafauna-megafruit relationships. Here we use the complex biogeography of tropical Asia to investigate how megafruit diversity and traits are associated with the diversity...

1. Protected Areas (PAs) are a cornerstone of global conservation strategies. PAs, however, are not equally effective for all threatened taxa, and it is important to understand taxa-specific effectiveness of PAs networks. 2. In this study we evaluate the role of the PAs network on the protection of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) and their habitats in Southeast Asia's Sundaic region. Since Asian elephants tend to prefer secondary forests or forest gaps, we predicted that PAs...

Large-scale reforestation can increase water yield and reduce drought risk for water-insecure regions in the Asia-Pacific
Hoong Chen Teo, Srivatsan Raghavan, Xiaogang He, Zhenzhong Zeng, Yanyan Cheng, Xiangzhong Luo, Alex Lechner, Matthew Ashfold, Aakash Lamba, Rachakonda Sreekar, Qiming Zheng, Anping Chen & Lian Pin Koh
Large-scale reforestation can potentially bring both benefits and risks to the water cycle, which needs to be better quantified under future climates to inform reforestation decisions. We identified 477 water-insecure basins worldwide accounting for 44.6% (380.2 Mha) of the global reforestation potential. As many of these basins are in the Asia-Pacific, we used regional coupled land-climate modelling for the period 2041–2070 to reveal that reforestation increases evapotranspiration and precipitation for most water-insecure regions over the...

The Heart of Borneo initiative has promoted the integration of protected areas and sustainably-managed forests across Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei. Recently, however, member states of the Heart of Borneo have begun pursuing ambitious unilateral infrastructure-development schemes to accelerate economic growth, jeopardizing the underlying goal of trans-boundary integrated conservation. Focusing on Sabah, Malaysia, we highlight conflicts between its Pan-Borneo Highway scheme and the regional integration of protected areas, unprotected intact forests, and conservation-priority forests.

It is necessary to improve knowledge exchange between scientists and decision-makers so that scientific evidence can be readily accessed to inform policy. To maximise impact of scientific evidence in policy development, the scientific community should engage more fully with decision-makers, building long-term working relationships in order to identify and respond to 'policy windows' with science that is reframed for policy-relevance.

Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) have inhabited almost all forests in tropical Asia until recently, yet little is known about their role in ecological processes, particularly in the Sundaic forests of Southeast Asia. These forests are peculiar in their phenology, with supra-annual and highly irregular episodes of mast fruiting.

Diverse assemblages of seed-dispersing megafauna once existed in Asian rainforests, but are now almost solely represented by elephants. Asia's rhinos persist in remnant, ecologically-extinct populations and the most threatened of these is the Sumatran rhino, Dicerorhinus sumatrensis. To understand the seed dispersal role of Sumatran rhinos, we consolidated information on fruit consumption, seed dispersal and fruit traits from a two-month field study (Sumatra), local ecological knowledge (Peninsular Malaysia), and published and unpublished accounts.

Rhetoric could become the means by which humanists spread their ideas, persuading everyone from a literate merchant to the ruler of a dukedom that theirs was the best way to be educated, live, work, and rule. Some humanists, even moderate Catholics such as Erasmus, risked being declared heretics for their perceived criticism of the church. This change of approach recognized that the human being is the author and actor of human history, so that it is ultimately the center of reality. In the essays of Montaigne the individualistic view of life received perhaps the most persuasive and eloquent statement in the history of literature and philosophy.[20]. This passage exemplifies the way in which the humanists saw pagan classical works, such as the philosophy of Epicurus, as being in harmony with their interpretation of Christianity. Last modified November 04, 2020. The Renaissance, also the rebirth period, started with humanism. Another thing that is associated with humanism is the social behavior of the people. His idea that the period in which he lived was an intermediary period between antiquity and this new dawn, what he called disparagingly 'a slumber' was latched onto by later Renaissance thinkers and did much to foster the idea that the Middle Ages was somehow a period of cultural darkness. In addition, his Decameron (Ten Days), a collection of tales compiled between c. 1348 and 1353 CE, appealed to later humanists because it dealt with everyday human experiences in great detail. The Divine Comedy had many overtly classical elements, from the Roman poet Virgil (70-19 BCE) acting as a guide to the many ancient historical figures mentioned. Due to these problems of definition, some historians prefer to use the term studia humanitatis, coined by the Roman statesman Cicero (106-43 BCE) and revived by the Florentine scholar Coluccio Salutati (1331-1406 CE). If we need to describe the people of the Renaissance, we can give a definition of people who are qualified to be considered experts in many subjects. The scholastics viewed intellectual pursuits primarily through the lens of … It was a huge change to switch from a religion based society in the Middle Ages to a people based society in the Renaissance. According to one scholar of the movement, Early Italian humanism, which in many respects continued the grammatical and rhetorical traditions of the Middle Ages, not merely provided the old Trivium with a new and more ambitious name (Studia humanitatis), but also increased its actual scope, content and significance in the curriculum of the schools and universities and in its own extensive literary production. Perhaps there is no better example of this wow-factor than Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling. Further, Petrarch's work with ancient manuscripts encouraged the scholarship of non-religious subjects with humanity at its centre, and this became a legitimate activity for intellectuals. However, a number of humanists joined the Reformation movement and took over leadership functions, for example, Philipp Melanchthon, Ulrich Zwingli, Martin Luther, Henry VIII, John Calvin, and William Tyndale. It led to the creation of an international network of scholars linked by letters and books, the separation of church and politics, the critical examination of texts leading to the discovery of inaccuracies and even forgeries, and the creation of public libraries. Origins of Humanism. Renaissance art is European art of the period 1400-1520 that is viewed as a leap forward over anything produced in the middle ages or antiquity. Humanism, with its reverence for classical authors and what exactly a knowledge of antiquity can teach us found expression in the performance arts, notably in the plays of William Shakespeare (1564-1616 CE) who was interested in characters that could reveal the breadth and depth of the human experience. While the Western world saw simultaneous discoveries and innovations, the artists in Italy became more and more curious to explore the world and all the possible aspects of nature. His special interests include pottery, architecture, world mythology and discovering the ideas that all civilizations share in common. It is important to remember, though, that Renaissance thinkers did not themselves use the term humanism, and neither did they agree on all subjects. Perhaps inevitably, though, humanist scholars and thinkers began to divide into groups as they specialised into different areas of what was already a hopelessly broad area of human endeavour. The renaissance advanced artistic techniques and experimented with new styles and subjects. Some of the highest officials of the Catholic Church were humanists with the resources to amass important libraries. It is considered a high point in art that wasn't surpassed until the modern-era, if at all.The following are the defining characteristics of renaissance art. Humanism. Just as humanist writers knew full well the powerful effect of their words, so, too, artists knew the power they had to create a lasting aesthetic impression on the viewer. In addition, a humanist education continued for life, and it was never too late to learn its benefits, especially so for rulers. Please help us create teaching materials on Mesopotamia (including several complete lessons with worksheets, activities, answers, essay questions, and more), which will be free to download for teachers all over the world. Even religious works of the period have a focus on the human figures and their story within the scene. The onset of technology and new discoveries led artists and learners to seek more. Finally, the emphasis on the individual within humanism found expression in the way artists now viewed themselves - superior artisans who used their intellect to study art and create masterpieces that would carry their fame for generations to come. The obvious link with Plato's Republic was another point of favour with the classical-loving humanists. It was a program to revive the cultural legacy, literary legacy, and moral philosophy of classical antiquity. Renaissance artists were keen to capture this reality themselves, a process going back as early as Giotto (b. Looking at these works as a whole, one idea which especially interested Renaissance thinkers was virtus (virtue or excellence) and civic duty. Only in 1564 did French commentator Denys Lambin (1519–72) announce in the preface to the work that "he regarded Lucretius's Epicurean ideas as 'fanciful, absurd, and opposed to Christianity'." A defender of the Catholic Church against the Reformists, he famously wrote Utopia in 1516 CE about an ideal society set on an imaginary island. Neither blind faith nor superstitions impact decisions or developing. Heretics and Heroes: How Renaissance Artists and Reformation Priests...

During the Renaissance period most humanists were religious, so their concern was to "purify and renew Christianity" not to do away with it. Web. Another thing that is associated with humanism is the social behavior of the people.

Living After Dying, with Stephanie Arnold
March 25, 2021 by Dave Brown
"The day my son was born, I died. Premonitions told me it was going to happen, but no one believed me. Even more unbelievable? What I would see when I flat-lined for 37 Seconds. What I brought back was the hope, strength and understanding of the light existing within and around all of us."
Have you ever had a feeling that something terrible is about to happen, but thought you were crazy? Have you mentioned it to anyone else and realized they think you're crazy, too? And then something terrible does happen- maybe not to you, but to someone you know or love? Have you ever looked back at a moment or an event and been mad at yourself for not paying attention to that gut feeling?
If you've ever wondered what those gut feelings mean and if you should pay attention to them, you want to pay close attention to this interview with Stephanie Arnold.
Stephanie Arnold earned several prestigious awards and an Emmy nomination during her 27 year career in television production.
She left that career to focus on building her family. Her first baby arrived with no complications, so Stephanie had no reason to worry when she became pregnant again. This time, though, was different.
What started as an easier pregnancy than her first took a turn for worse at an ultrasound.Stephanie was diagnosed with placenta previa, a condition in which the placenta attaches in a dangerous position on the uterine wall.
In rare instances, this leads to placenta accreta, with the placenta deeply embedded in the uterine wall. Tearing the placenta off the wall leads to hemorrhaging and can be fatal for the mother. Placenta accreta is rare, Stephanie was told. Don't worry, you'll be fine."
But Stephanie was filled with a sense of dread that rapidly intensified to the point she knew she was going to die in childbirth. A series of premonitions were so real to her that she shared her fears with everyone she could, desperate for answers and a proactive approach to save her life.
Her persistence had people shaking their heads and wondering what happened to the normally sensible Stephanie, but no one truly believed her.
Stephanie knew as she was being wheeled into an emergency C-section that she was entering the room that would bring life to her son and end her own life. She did, in fact, technically die on the operating table.
Stephanie flatlined for 37 seconds before doctors revived her body, and her story of those 37 seconds has been featured on Netflix and other major platforms.
In this episode, Stephanie Arnold talks about the premonitions she had before she died, and the lengths she went to, in order to find someone who believed her. She shares the last, desperate attempt she made to find help, and how that ultimately saved her life. Stephanie talks about her vivid experience in those 37 seconds and how it has forever changed her. She's joined by a special guest, who offers a whole other perspective on her experience.
Here are some of the things Stephanie Arnold talks about in this incredible interview:
The start of Stephanie's career, as a 14 year old intern, and her advice to parents with teens who have the drive to pursue their own dream
Why Stephanie left her award winning, Emmy-nominated career to take a new path
The power of premonitions
Stephanie's struggle to find someone who believed her
Preparing to die
What it felt like to be clinically dead
The aftermath of a near death experience
The importance of advocating for yourself
Communication between couples with different life experiences
One thing technology cannot replace in medicine

Not satisfied with providing a way for people to network, LinkedIn wants to tap into its user base to help people figure out where to go to college.
The newly launched University Pages lets users type in the name of the school they're considering. LinkedIn will return a trove of data on the university in question. Much of this data is powered by LinkedIn's user base of 200 million. Just below a cover image for the university, LinkedIn shows aggregate information on the school's alumni, including where they live, where they work and what industries they're employed in. Clicking on any of these sections shows a list of alumni from the school, with links to their profiles on LinkedIn.
Users can also look up basic information about the school, such as contact information, the number of students, graduation rates, student-to-faculty ratio and tuition rates. A sidebar on the page shows notable alumni, people you know with connections to the university and a list of similar schools.
LinkedIn also hopes these pages will help connect alumni to each other, and to help employers recruit recent graduates. Employers will be able to come up with ideal candidates and advertise jobs to students who fit the bill.
It seems like a helpful way to get some basic information about the university, though it'd be nice if LinkedIn let prospective students sift through the data in more advanced ways. For instance, you can't find out how many students on LinkedIn land a job right after graduation.
There's also one noteworthy terms of service change LinkedIn had to make for this feature: In the United States and several other countries, the minimum age for the site is now 14, which allows high school students to connect with college students and alumni. By default, minors' profiles do not appear in search engine results, their last names and birthdates aren't shown, and their photos will only be visible to first-degree connections. LinkedIn also says it will show links to safety and privacy information on minors' pages.
At the moment, LinkedIn says it has pages for 200 universities, but it will be adding "thousands more schools" over the next few weeks.

In 1912, L.L. Bean launched with a four-page catalog. Soon, there were more than 100 orders for the company's signature hunting shoe, developed by Leon Leonwood Bean himself, and an iconic American brand was born. A century later, the brand is still going strong thanks to the integrity of its product line, legendary customer service and the ability to change with the evolution of both style and sport. All this year, the company is celebrating its centennial with promotions and specialty products—from a reprint of a 1942 outdoor guide and an archival rerelease of those signature boots, to a seven-tool Swiss Army knife. And to further celebrate their longevity, the company is donating $1 million to the National Park Foundation—the only nonprofit whose sole mission is to safeguard America's diverse national parks.
All L.L. Bean products ship for free and are guaranteed for life.

Ruth St. Denis appeared in more than a dozen Pillow seasons between 1940 and 1964 (including the performance seen here, when she was seventy), and her portrait still hangs beside the proscenium in the Ted Shawn Theatre. Raised in a Bohemian environment, Ruthie Dennis (1879-1968) studied ballroom and skirt dancing in Somerville, New Jersey, and first performed professionally as a variety act in 1894 at Worth's Family Theatre and Museum in New York. By 1906 with Radha, St. Denis had developed the essence of her distinctive dance style. She built a stunning career as a soloist and, in 1914, acquired a professional and personal partner in Ted Shawn. A year later they opened Denishawn which, as a school and company, nurtured leaders of the next generation: Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey, Charles Weidman, and Jack Cole. Her works are occasionally revived at the Pillow, including Cynthia Gregory's memorable 1982 performance of Brahms Waltz and Liebestraum, two works that were always presented together. Jess Meeker's live accompaniment for Gregory's performance was added to the silent film seen here in order to approximate the original audience experience.
