Q: why could i see IR light in a camera? Usually we are not able to see infrared rays with our naked eyes.
But we could see it when we watch it through a digital camera (or mobile camera).
Why it happens?

A: This isn't really an electrical engineering question, but the short answer is that your eye has limitations. All light is a subclass of a larger form of energy called electromagnetic radiation.

You can't see EM radiation with a wavelength shorter than around 730 nanometers, or what our brains perceive as red. However, your camera doesn't have the same limits, and will pick up the infrared light and try to display it just like any other light.

A: Your camera is based upon Si, which has a bandgap of 1.12 eV which means that for light that is ~ 1.1 u and shorter the camera can possibly detect it.  This range of wavelengths is in the part of the spectrum called Near-IR.  You eyes cannot see wavelengths LONGER than 720 nm.  Near IR transmitters used in TV remotes etc. typically are 850 nm.

I have had the problem for a few weeks where when I connect any kind of USB drive, or insert a CD/DVD, that udisksd gets stuck at 100% CPU load (on all four cores!) for several minutes.
Various articles on the Internet have suggested solutions involving killing udisksd but this does not work - all that happens is udisksd gets spawned again.
Today, I finally stumbled across an Ubuntu bug report (thank you Pete Ludwig!) which identifies the actual problem.
If you leave lots of dolphin windows open (as I usually do) and one of them refers to a disk which has been moved, dolphin remembers something which then causes the udisksd problem. Close all dolphin windows and the problem will go away.

Fast Company Names Robert Wood Johnson Foundation One of World's 10 Most Innovative Not-For-Profits
Fast Company announced today that it named the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the largest U.S. foundation devoted to health, as one of the 10 most innovative not-for-profit organizations globally. The magazine's annual list of the world's most innovative companies recognizes established enterprises and rising newcomers alike for exemplifying the best in business and innovation; this is the first time a separate category for not-for-profits has been included in the list.
Fast Company recognized the 43-year-old foundation for its "dramatic change" in vision in 2014, when President and CEO Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, announced that, rather than approach health care and public health as separate goals, the Foundation would build a Culture of Health aimed at all the elements that affect a person's well-being, whether it's poverty, food security, adequate housing, assistance to the elderly, or bike paths in cities. The magazine noted that, "RWJF won't stop working for quality, cost-effective health care," but will "broaden its mission to include other factors that affect the public well-being."
"We are honored to be recognized by Fast Company for our efforts to build a Culture of Health for all, and to develop innovative, impactful solutions that will help us accomplish this goal," said Lavizzo-Mourey. "As we strive to ensure that each person in the United States, no matter where they live or how much money they have, has the opportunity to achieve the healthiest life possible, we will continue to work to bring in the ideas and innovations of many people, from all sectors."
RWJF actively works with businesses, community organizations, policymakers, educators, researchers, and other non-profits, in and outside of the health sector, to discover new perspectives, cutting-edge ideas, and emerging trends that have the potential to accelerate a Culture of Health. Fast Company named Health Leads, an organization supported by the Foundation, as one example. To remove social barriers to good health, Health Leads enables physicians and other health care practitioners to write prescriptions for resources such as food, housing, and heating assistance, and trains college students to help patients then access those resources.
Here is a small sampling of some of the other innovative efforts RWJF supports:
Childhood Obesity initiative—On February 5, the Foundation announced a $500 million, 10-year commitment to expand efforts to ensure that all children in the United States—no matter who they are or where they live—can grow up at a healthy weight. Adding to a commitment of $500 million made in 2007, this brings to $1 billion dedicated to reversing the childhood obesity epidemic.
Culture of Health Prize—Each year RWJF recognizes communities that place a high priority on innovative, collaborative solutions for building a Culture of Health for all their residents. These communities serve as beacons of progress that can inspire other communities to be creative in addressing their own health challenges.
MIT Media Lab—In September 2014, RWJF gave the influential Media Lab a $1 million grant to launch a wellness initiative, meant to spark innovation in the areas of health and well-being and encourage healthier workplaces and lifestyle behaviors.
MakerNurse—RWJF funds the MakerNurse initiative, started by the Little Devices Lab @ MIT, to provide creative nurse-inventors with the resources and tools they need to bring their innovative health care ideas to life.
OpenNotes—This initiative supported by RWJF allows doctors to share visit notes with patients as a routine part of their care, allowing patients to become true partners in decision-making about their health.
"We are honored that our ongoing search for creative, innovative and collaborative solutions to some of the most challenging problems threatening health has gained the recognition of Fast Company," said Roger S. Fine, chairman of the Board of Trustees of RWJF. "We can only hope that our own efforts, and those of the many other entities on this list, will inspire others to be equally innovative in developing solutions that will better the well-being of all."
About the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
For more than 40 years the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has worked to improve health and health care. We are striving to build a national Culture of Health that will enable all to live longer, healthier lives now and for generations to come. For more information, visit www.rwjf.org.

The club, spurred on by Ken's love of Springtime racing, has started a six-course race competition. Unlike other race leagues, this one will span several genres and ages. Racers take their top four finishes and add up the points to be declared the "Racing Champion" for 2015 (there's also a spiffy traveling trophy presented to the winner).
The first race was 54mm Roman chariot racing. The event was well-covered at The Penny Whistle blog. In short, Ken took first, I took second and Jon Mark took third. With that in mind, I hosted the second race of the 'season': The Conncourse 300.
The board and cars used were from the defunct WizKids game, Race Day. The rules were Going the Distance. Slightly smaller than Matchbox cars, the styrene vehicles are punched from baseball card-sized sheets and assembled. The white edges I colored to match the cars' paint jobs. I think the effect was good.
It was a full house. The participants of the night's game were Greg, Jon Mark, Bill, Terry, Ken, Carl and myself. We each had two cars (Jeff Gordon was not selected) and high expectations. After I explained the nuances of the track (lanes ending and starting in corners, 'A' compound tires, drafting and pit stops) and laps/field dice (five laps and 3d6 field dice), we were ready to roll.
Note - Sorry for light bulb glare in any pics. Unavoidable, really. Also, the big marker (HeroClix figure) visible in some photos is the 1st place indicator.
Greg won the pole position, followed closely by the rest of us. The race started well, with the inevitable gridlock in the first turn for the cars toward the back of the pack.
Due to the nature of the track, lane changes had to be made, but options were limited for players wanting to play it safe. There was also a lot of "team tactics" (Jon Mark's words), where a player's second vehicle would purposefully hold up the pack in order for his first vehicle to advance unhindered. Hilarity ensued as a combination of solid tactics, taking advantage of situations and crappy dice rolls kept everyone in the race.
Only a couple of vehicles DNF, but plenty of walls and cars were hit as everyone tried to jockey for hard-fought positions.
The reason I chose five laps instead of the usual three became clear later in the race, as people had to pit or DNF. This caused another set of 'choke points', as access to the pits was limited to only a few spaces.
We were in the middle of lap four when a couple of players stated they needed to get home and to bed (early risers/workers), so we had to cut the race a little short. It's a shame really, as every position was heavily contested and the final outcome was far from resolved. Still, people have to work, so we called it.
Another enjoyable evening with the gang! Next week is F1 racing from Japan. Watch for the AAR on The Penny Whistle.
Thanks for hosting a great event. I laughed a lot and had a great time.

A new initiative which aims to revolutionise the education system in Northern Ireland by intelligently connecting pupils and educators with industry employers has kicked off today with the support of global and local companies including PwC, Grant Thornton, BT, Novosco and Smiley Monroe.
mTech.Academy aims to create an experiential learning community which will bring together ten schools with industry leading organisations for a year-long programme of mentoring, professional development and exposure to the mobile technologies that will define the future of work.
It has been formed as a collaboration between GSMA's chief marketing officer Michael O'Hara and leading enterprise educationalist Diane Morrow, who spent 10 years teaching A Level business studies and careers in schools across Northern Ireland.
This year's programme will culminate with 100 Year 10 students experiencing a once in a life changing and exclusive opportunity to travel to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February 2019 where they will present their ideas on smart cities to senior business leaders. Mobile World Congress is an annual global showcase organised by the GSMA and attended by over 108,000 delegates including 7,700 CEOs, 190 government delegations and 3,500 members of the media.

Attention, Vision and Mission Skeptics!

For 20 years, Great Oaks Elementary has been the WOW place to learn and teach.
How was the vision established? Intentionally, and with intensity.
I was the Assistant Principal at Great Oaks Elementary (GOE) when we "opened its doors" back in 1997. When school started in August, however, our new building wasn't ready to pass the punch list. So, we began as "a school within a school", down the street from our new "WOW place".
You'd think that distraction-dealing with the question "when will you move?", all the logistics of keeping our new little Geckos safe and organized, and the list goes on…would be enough.
Yet, one of my long time mentors, then the new principal at Great Oaks, still made vision setting a priority.
We started the visioning work as we stepped over each other in our temporary buildings, asking our grade level teams to share at a faculty meeting an artifact that said, "this is who we are".
The next few weeks focused on hearing from kids and parents: What makes a WOW school?
The buzz in our makeshift office was all about the vision. After our community rallied together during a long weekend in November, moving us into our sparkling new building, we met as a staff and voted on it:
Great Oaks Elementary will be the WOW place to learn and teach.
But that was just the beginning.
Proud of our new wall mounted phones and box TVs in each classroom, we went about the business of loving kids and families and learning. And, at every single faculty meeting, we talked about the vision.
We took WOW to depths that I didn't know existed.
In grade level teams, and then, eventually, coming to consensus as a staff (via long pizza parties, and even an invitation to camp out at GOE overnight), we defined WOW. I don't mean the Webster Dictionary sort of definition. We took each word of what we wanted to be and we said, "What does that look like?" We discussed and debated, "it feels like this", "it sounds like that". Everywhere, we spoke the language. Our favorite question: "Is that WOW?"
And every day, we strived for this:
When parents describe GOE, they will say, "WOW-that's the best elementary school experience I could have hoped for for my child!"
When the staff talks about GOE, they will say, "WOW, I would choose Great Oaks over any other place to work and teach."
And most importantly, our students will say, "WOW, that was the best teacher, best lesson, best lunch, best field trip, best Wellness Day- best elementary school experience!
We spoke it and we lived it. My own children joked, "WOW is MOM, upside down". WOW was our mantra. It was our language, our culture.
But what about the WOW vision for today's Great Oaks students, in 2016? Those box TVs are dusty, and who needs a classroom phone? Is the vision statement outdated, too, sitting wrinkled and forgotten in an old binder on the principal's bookshelf?
Last week, I attended Great Oaks' 20th birthday celebration. And, I'm happy to report-the WOW vision is still going strong.
Vision and mission skeptics, I know what you are saying, "How can that be?"
It's tradition.
Back in 2006, when we celebrated Great Oaks' ten year birthday, with the help of our neighborhood fire department and a local aerial photographer, we took a special picture, our little Geckos spelling out WOW. For the 20th birthday, there's a WOW photo, (this time taken by a drone). A long time faculty member told me, "we thought about doing a gecko for the picture, but in the end, we agreed, "it's gotta be WOW".
It's kid friendly.
The catchy school song, written by our music teachers shortly after Great Oaks opened, and capturing the mission of Great Oaks, as well as the vision, ended the student assembly at the 20 year celebration. After the staff member picture was taken, we stood on the bleachers and sang it-loudly, enthusiastically, emotionally.
It's in action.
Most importantly, the Great Oaks vision is still alive because the leaders, the teachers, and the families live it, walk it and talk it. It's who they are, intentionally and intensely. Defined by the inaugural staff in 1997. Still going strong in 2016.
Happy 20th birthday, Great Oaks Elementary!
May you forever be, the WOW place to learn and teach!

Fig 1: The use of scientific image processing software allows to quantify the area proportion of each phase in optical micrographs. This is a two step process. The original micrograph is converted to a "threshold map" by modifying the colour channels of the source. The resulting black and white image is analysed for their respective area proportions. The count mask is then produced after quantification and may be used to verify which inclusions have been counted.
I used this method during my PhD thesis to approximate the chemical composition based on a micrograph .


Published 7 February 2015 7:06 am. Tested in October 2014.
Lufthansa operates its own lounge at Washington Dulles International Airport, located in the B-pier opposite gate B50. The lounge is used by most European airlines in the Star Alliance which serve Washington, including Lufthansa, Austrian, Brussels Airlines and SAS.
The lounge is divided into a Senator section for Gold Card holders, located upstairs to the left after the reception, and a business section, located on the ground floor, which is accessed via a staircase opposite the reception desk.
The Senator lounge has Lufthansa's traditional lounge design with black armchairs and white oblong lamps. The lounge is long and has views towards the apron through large panoramic windows. These windows also provide the lounge with plenty of light. In most cases, the gates in front of the lounge are used by airlines in the Lufthansa Group, which means walking distances are often very short when it comes time to board.
Directly to the right after the entrance is a separate section for passengers in first class. This area has no extra facilities but does guarantee guests a seat and a quieter atmosphere than the rest of the lounge, which can get quite crowded during the evening as there are several departures to Europe.
The buffet area serves decent food. This is especially handy during the evening as one can eat in the lounge and, therefore, skip the dinner served on the plane. During this test visit there were pre-prepared sandwiches, a salad buffet, and a hot buffet with pork, potatoes, and broccoli. For dessert, there were two choices, pumpkin cheesecake and apple strudel.
One strange thing is that the state of Washington does not allow the self-service of alcoholic beverages, therefore, there is a staffed bar in the middle of the lounge. This is really not a problem, everything is still free and a bartender is on hand almost all the time. The bar has a good selection of alcoholic beverages, including three red wines, four beers and a variety of spirits. Coffee, tea, juices and soft drinks are available for self-service at the regular buffet.
Showers and toilets are available in the lounge. For those who wish to work, there is free WiFi provide by T-Mobile. A standard range of newspapers are on offer from a rack and there are also several TVs in the lounge.
A perfectly okay lounge, the excellent range of food and drink being a big plus. The biggest problem lies in the lounge's size, it is simply too small for all the evening departures between the hours of 5pm and 8pm.

Q: StaggeredGridLayoutManager: Adding Margin makes the layout items pushed to the side So, I'm working on a small project and I wanted to add StaggeredGridLayoutManagerto the file. While it works if I don't add an itemDecorator and no margin or padding in my layouts. As soon as I add margins it pushes the list to one side. I'm attaching a screenshot to clarify the issue.

Here is my Code:
recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
    StaggeredGridLayoutManager gridLayoutManager = new StaggeredGridLayoutManager(2, StaggeredGridLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
    recyclerView.addItemDecoration(new EqualSpaceItemDecoration(8));
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(gridLayoutManager);
    recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);

And the Layout File for the item
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:orientation="vertical">
  <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    android:id="@+id/wallpaper_item_card"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:cardBackgroundColor="@color/cardview_light_background"
    app:cardCornerRadius="4dp"
    app:cardElevation="4dp"
    app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false">

    <ImageView
      android:id="@+id/wallpaper_item_image"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

  </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</LinearLayout>

I've looked around for some time and am not able to find something that fixes the issues. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

A: I don't know if you've already found the solution, but I'll leave the comment in case anyone else sees the question.
I was able to solve this problem by doing the following:
layoutManager.setGapStrategy(StaggeredGridLayoutManager.GAP_HANDLING_NONE);

Example:
StaggeredGridLayoutManager layoutManager = new StaggeredGridLayoutManager(2, StaggeredGridLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
layoutManager.setGapStrategy(StaggeredGridLayoutManager.GAP_HANDLING_NONE);
RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);

A: In kotlin use:
viewManager.gapStrategy = StaggeredGridLayoutManager.GAP_HANDLING_NONE

Protected Areas (WDPA)
The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the most comprehensive global database on terrestrial and marine protected areas.
Explore Protected Areas
Global Coverage of Protected Areas
The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the most comprehensive global database of marine and terrestrial protected areas. It is a joint project between UN Environment Programme and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and is managed by UN Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), in collaboration with governments, non-governmental organisations, academia and industry.The WDPA is updated on a monthly basis, and can be downloaded using the button in the top right of this page.
The WDPA was established in 1981, but the mandate for the database dates back from 1959 when the United Nations (UN) Economic and Social Council called for a list of national parks and equivalent reserves in recognition that they 'are valuable for economic and scientific reasons and also as areas for the future preservation of fauna and flora and geologic structures in their natural state' Resolution 713 (XXVII). The first UN List of Protected Areas, as it became known, was subsequently published in 1962. Since this time there have been several decisions from the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity encouraging Parties to share and update relevant information on their protected areas system with the World Database on Protected Areas.
COP VI/28, 2004 "Invites the World Conservation Monitoring Centre of the United Nations Environment Programme, working with international organizations, to further develop the World Database on Protected Areas in order to assist the monitoring towards the overall objective of the decision on protected areas, and urges Parties, other Governments and relevant organizations to provide up-to-date information for the database." [This is further elaborated in the annexed Programme of Work on Protected Areas].
COP VIII/24, 2006 "Notes the importance of the World Database on Protected Areas as a tool to assist the monitoring of progress towards achieving the targets of the Programme of Work on Protected Areas, and invites the World Conservation Monitoring Centre of the United Nations Environment Programme, the World Commission on Protected Areas of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and their collaborators to further develop access to the database and information management including tools for data sharing and exchange."
COP IX/18, 2008 "Encourages Parties to develop national or regional data networks in order to facilitate the exchange of, and access to information..., including providing information to the WDPA"
COP X/31, 2010 "Encourages Parties to share and update relevant information on their protected areas system with the World Database on Protected Areas"
COP X/31, 2010 "The COP... invites Parties, taking into account the target for goal 1.4 of the programme of work, which calls for all protected areas to have effective management in existence by 2012 using participatory and science-based site planning processes with full and effective participation of stakeholders, and noting that to assess the effectiveness of the management, specific indicators may also be needed to: (a) Continue to expand and institutionalize management effectiveness assessments to work towards assessing 60 per cent of the total area of protected areas by 2015 using various national and regional tools and report the results into the global database on management effectiveness maintained by the World Conservation Monitoring Centre of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP WCMC)"
COP X1/24, 2012 "Invites the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre and its partners, including the World Commission on Protected Areas of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), to continue to report progress towards achieving Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 and related targets through the Protected Planet Report".
COP XIII/2, 2016 "Invites the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the World Conservation Monitoring Centre to work with Parties and other Governments to update the World Database on Protected Areas and also to contribute to the assessment of progress in the implementation of Aichi Biodiversity Target 11".
The WDPA is a joint project between UN Environment Programme and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The compilation and management of the WDPA is carried out by UN Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), in collaboration with governments, non-governmental organisations, academia and industry. There are monthly updates of the data which are made available online through the ProtectedPlanet website	where the data is both viewable and downloadable.
Data and information on the world's protected areas compiled in the WDPA are used for reporting to the Convention on Biological Diversity on progress towards reaching the Aichi Biodiversity Targets (particularly Target 11), to the UN to track progress towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, to some of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) core indicators, and other international assessments and reports including the Global Biodiversity Outlook, as well as for the publication of the United Nations List of Protected Areas. Every two years, UNEP-WCMC releases the Protected Planet Report on the status of the world's protected areas and recommendations on how to meet international goals and targets.
Many platforms are incorporating the WDPA to provide integrated information to diverse users, including businesses and governments, in a range of sectors including mining, oil and gas, and finance. For example, the WDPA is included in the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool, an innovative decision support tool that gives users easy access to up-to-date information that allows them to identify biodiversity risks and opportunities within a project boundary.
The reach of the WDPA is further enhanced in services developed by other parties, such as the Global Forest Watch and the Digital Observatory for Protected Areas, which provide decision makers with access to monitoring and alert systems that allow whole landscapes to be managed better. Together, these applications of the WDPA demonstrate the growing value and significance of the Protected Planet initiative.

Khattiya Sawasdiphol (thaï : พลตรี ขัตติยะ สวัสดิผล), alias Seh Daeng (thaï : เสธ. แดง ;  français : « Le commandant rouge »), né le  et mort le  après avoir été touché à la tête par un tir de sniper quatre jours plus tôt, est un général de division de l'armée thaïlandaise, autrefois affecté au commandement des opérations de sécurité interne.

Biographie
Il affirme avoir aidé les États-Unis à espionner le Viêt Nam du Nord au cours de la guerre du Viêt Nam, et avoir pris part à la « guerre secrète » financée par la CIA contre les communistes dans la Plaine des Jarres, au Laos. Khattiya Sawasdipol s'était déguisé en musulman dans le but d'infiltrer les groupes rebelles à Aceh, en Indonésie.

Il a écrit plusieurs best-sellers en thaïlandais sur ses aventures, dans une série intitulée Kom Seh Daeng (คม… เสธ. แดง). Khattiya Sawasdiphol apparaissait fréquemment dans des débats télévisés, et ses adeptes lui vouaient un véritable culte.

Il est entré en conflit avec le commandant de la police thaïlandaise, le général Seri Temiyavet, lors d'une enquête sur un tripot en 2006. Le général Seri a déposé une plainte pour diffamation contre Khattiya Sawasdipol, qui a été arrêté et condamné à quatre mois de prison. Khattiya Sawasdiphol a ensuite lui-même attaqué Seri pour diffamation, en lui réclamant 600 millions de baht. (Le général de police Seripisut Temiyavet a été nommé Commandant de la Police de Thaïlande par la junte militaire, en remplacement de , le commandant de la police sous l'ancien premier ministre Thaksin Shinawatra).

Khattiya Sawasdipol a déclaré le  « qu'il se mobiliserait contre toute tentative militaire pour s'emparer du pouvoir politique ». Il a dit également que « les membres du Democratic Alliance against Dictatorship (DAAD) utiliserait des cocktails Molotov contre les tanks et les véhicules militaires en cas de tentative de coup d'État militaire ».

Khattiya a été réaffecté en tant que professeur d'aérobic par le général , Commandant de l'Armée thaïlandaise. Khattiya a répondu en disant : « Le chef de l'armée veut que je sois un présentateur d'aérobic. J'ai préparé une danse. On l'appelle La Danse du lancer de grenade à main ».

Le , le commandant de l'armée Anupong Paochinda a ordonné une suspension de Khattiya Sawasdiphol après qu'un comité d'enquête a constaté que celui-ci soutenait expressément les Chemises rouges du Front National Uni de la Démocratie contre la Dictature (UDD).

Dans la nuit du , Khattiya Sawasdiphol a été touché à la tête par un tir de sniper, vraisemblablement provenant d'un tireur d'élite de l'armée. alors qu'il venait de donner une interview à Thomas Fuller pour le New York Times. Khattiya été transféré dans un état grave à l'hôpital Vajira, où il a été placé sous mandat d'arrêt ; il y est mort le .

While the news might not come as a shock, it's nice to know that science seems to back up what you probably already suspected: the BMJ (formerly British Medical Journal) website reports that a study conducted over four years found that older people who consistently report enjoying life were less likely to die from heart disease—or indeed from much else. The study involved 9,365 men and women aged 50 or over who were part of the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA). The more often people reported satisfaction and joy in their lives, the greater their chances of living longer.
While that's not to say that being happy causes a longer life—observational studies don't yield cause-and-effect conclusions—the findings are encouraging, especially given that the link was observed even when results were adjusted to account for the health status of the participants, including impaired physical function.
Are you enjoying life? If not, it's probably time to make some changes. Social interaction is key, so if loneliness is an issue, consider joining a book club at your local bookstore or library or calling an old friend to meet for coffee. Rekindle your love of an old hobby, start a new hobby you've always wanted to try, or check out volunteer opportunities in your area, as altruism has proven effects on emotional wellbeing.

Combustion chemistry of ammonia/hydrogen mixtures: Jet-stirred reactor measurements and comprehensive kinetic modeling
Xiaoyuan Zhang, Shamjad Puthukkadan Moosakutty, Rajitha P. Rajan, Mourad Younes, Mani Sarathy
Clean Combustion Research Center
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology
To investigate the oxidation of ammonia (NH3)/hydrogen (H2) mixtures at intermediate temperatures, this work has implemented jet-stirred reactor (JSR) oxidation experiments of NH3/H2 mixtures at atmospheric pressure and over 800-1280 K. The H2 content in the NH3/H2 mixtures is varied from zero to 70 vol% at equivalence ratios of 0.25 and 1.0. Species identification and quantification are achieved by using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. A kinetic model for pure NH3 and NH3/H2 mixtures is also developed for this research, and validated against the present experimental data for pure NH3 and NH3/H2 mixtures, as well as those for pure NH3, H2/NO, H2/N2O, NH3/NO, NH3/NO2 and NH3/H2 mixtures in literature. The model basically captures the experimental data obtained here, as well as in literature. Both measured and predicted results from this work show that H2 blending enhances the oxidation reactivity of NH3. Based on the model analysis, under the present experimental conditions, NH3 + H = NH2 + H2 proceeds in its reverse direction with increasing H2 content. The H atom produced is able to combine with O2 to produce either O and OH via a chain-branching reaction, or to yield HO2 through a chain-propagation reaction. HO2 is an important radical under the present intermediate-temperature conditions, which can convert NH2 to OH via NH2 + HO2 = H2NO + OH; H2NO is then able to convert H to NH2 and OH. In this reaction sequence, NH2 and H2NO are chain carriers, converting HO2 and H to two OH radicals. Since the OH radical is the dominant radical to consume NH3 under the present conditions, the enhanced OH yield via H + O2 = O + OH, NH2 + HO2 = H2NO + OH and H2NO + H = NH2 +OH, with increasing H2 content, promotes the consumption of NH3. For NOx formation, non-monotonous trends are observed by increasing the content of H2 at the 99% conversion of NH3. These trends are determined by the competition between the dilution effects and the chemical effects of H2 addition. Nitrogen related radicals, such as NH2, NH and N, decrease as H2 increases, and this dilution effect reduces NOx formation. For chemical effects, the yields of oxygenated radicals, such as O, OH and HO2, are enhanced with increasing H2 content, which results in enhancing effects on NO formation. For N2O formation, the enhanced oxygenated radicals (O, OH and HO2) suppress its formation, while the enhanced NO promotes its formation.

Based on the model analysis, under the present experimental conditions, NH3 + H = NH2 + H2 proceeds in its reverse direction with increasing H2 content. The H atom produced is able to combine with O2 to produce either O and OH via a chain-branching reaction, or to yield HO2 through a chain-propagation reaction. HO2 is an important radical under the present intermediate-temperature conditions, which can convert NH2 to OH via NH2 + HO2 = H2NO + OH; H2NO is then able to convert H to NH2 and OH.

Since the OH radical is the dominant radical to consume NH3 under the present conditions, the enhanced OH yield via H + O2 = O + OH, NH2 + HO2 = H2NO + OH and H2NO + H = NH2 +OH, with increasing H2 content, promotes the consumption of NH3. For NOx formation, non-monotonous trends are observed by increasing the content of H2 at the 99% conversion of NH3. These trends are determined by the competition between the dilution effects and the chemical effects of H2 addition. Nitrogen related radicals, such as NH2, NH and N, decrease as H2 increases, and this dilution effect reduces NOx formation. For chemical effects, the yields of oxygenated radicals, such as O, OH and HO2, are enhanced with increasing H2 content, which results in enhancing effects on NO formation. For N2O formation, the enhanced oxygenated radicals (O, OH and HO2) suppress its formation, while the enhanced NO promotes its formation.",

Cesc Fabregas has revealed that he will forever be grateful to Arsenal, no matter what people think or say.
Speaking ahead of Arsenal's crucial Premier League clash against Fabregas' current team Chelsea, the Spaniard has revealed how he will forever be grateful to Arsene Wenger for believing in him and developing him as a footballer.
A 16-year-old Cesc Fabregas left Barcelona to sign for Arsenal's youth academy back in 2003, and soon became the Gunners' youngest ever first team player, aged 16 years and 177 days. He rapidly became a regular first team player and was handed the club captaincy at the age of 21.
But after spending 8 years at the London club, the midfielder eventually left for his boyhood club Barcelona, and then went on to make a return to England by joining Chelsea.
Fabregas has since been hated and criticised by Arsenal fans for joining a rival club, but despite their intense intolerance, the Spanish international has claimed that he still remains thankful to the club that made him a world-class player that he is today.
Speaking in an interview with Natacha Tannous, the 29-year-old stated: "I don't really care what people think about me any more. It's just about what I feel towards them.
"Arsenal will always be the team that believed in me the most. I was a young kid, 16 years old, playing for Barcelona. Arsene Wenger, especially, and Arsenal Football Club, gave me everything.
But Fabregas will no doubt keep his appreciation towards his former club aside on Saturday, as the Premier League table-toppers host Arsenal in a crunch tie. A win for the Blues would extend their lead over the Gunners by 12 points, and in the process, virtually knock them out of the title race.

How Did a "Socialist" Get Elected President of France and Defeat a "Conservative" Incumbent?
Recent European elections are rattling the financial markets and fraying investors' nerves. In France, incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy, whom the BBC referred to as "veteran conservative politician" lost to a Socialist Party candidate, Francois Hollande. Meanwhile, Greek elections raised the uncertainty of future austerity measures gaining enough support.
If you've been paying attention to global economic and political events in recent years, these facts should have you worried. The European Union (EU) has been a mess and numerous countries in the EU have had to struggle getting some sensible austerity measures passed. As a Socialist Party candidate in France, Hollande took positions during the campaign which were counter to recent EU debt reduction agreements. For example, Hollande stated that he intends to rollback some of the pension reforms. Sarkozy had championed raising the retirement age to 62 so Hollande said he would move it back to 60.
The State of the French Economy
A simple review of the French economy just before the recent election illustrates good reason why voters who cared about the economy were none too excited to re-elect Sarkozy. Before the financial crisis hit in 2008, France's unemployment rate was a relatively high 7.5 percent and then it surged to 10 percent during the severe recession. It declined gradually to 9.5 percent by early 2011 but was back to 10 percent as of the March, 2012 reporting.
GDP growth was anemic the past two years, coming in at 1.4 percent and 1.7 percent for 2010 and 2011, respectively.
As for stock prices, France's CAC 40, which is their major stock index, is down nearly 50 percent over the past five years and has given back most of its meager rally from its early 2009 lows (see graph below). The Dow Jones Industrial Average, by contrast, is at nearly the same level it was five years ago.
Sarkozy was No Conservative!
Now, let's talk economic policy. The BBC referred to Sarkozy as a "conservative" and I can assure you that he is not a conservative. Take a look at the WSJ graphic below which highlights major economic policy positions of the two French candidates. This shows that Sarkozy supported instituting a minimum tax on larger companies and going along with an increase in the value-added tax (VAT) in the fall of this year.
Regarding economic policy, Sarkozy appears to be as liberal or even more liberal than President Obama and not significantly different in terms of stated policies than the Socialist Hollande!
Investors wringing their hands over the election of a Socialist as French President should calm down. Sarkozy lost re-election because the economy continued to do poorly under his five-year term even once the recession had passed. And, his economic policies weren't demonstrably different from Hollande's.
Also keep in mind as I've pointed out with the various branches of the U.S. federal government, who is President is but one of numerous factors determining the direction of a country's economic policies. Now, I'm not suggesting that the election of Hollande is a good thing for France's economy or that this won't cause some rockier negotiations within the EU in the future. I don't think Hollande's election will be good for the trajectory of the French economy or for future EU debt negotiations. But, life will go on and the French political parties will have a chance again in five years to put up better candidates.

Binotto: No reason why we should change
Mattia Binotto insists that there is no reason why Ferrari need to change despite another disastrous showing for the team at the 2022 Hungarian Grand Prix.
Mattia Binotto was in denial after Ferrari threw away a potential one-two in Hungary, finishing fourth and sixth instead, Carlos Sainz leading Charles Leclerc.
The Ferrari boss insists his team took no wrong strategy calls during the race, despite the universal agreement around the mistake of using the Hard tyres around the Hungaroring, which Ferrari did with Leclerc, costing him the race.
Binotto defended his strategy team fiercely after yet another blunder, which is admirable from the team leader, but his insistence that nothing needs to change within the Scuderia is quite strange.
"I'm frustrated no doubt, even if I'm maybe not showing it too much, but I'm certainly frustrated," Binotto said in and interview with Channel 4 after the race in Budapest.
"Because I know what is the potential of the car, what it has been so far, even if today it's the first time in the first half of the season that the car was not so great," he added.
"It's not a matter of bad luck, and there is nothing to change as well," Binotto insisted. "It's always a matter of continuous learning and building, building experience, building skills.
No reason to change anything within the team
"Today [Sunday], certainly there is something that you need to look at and understand why. But if I look again at the balance of the first half of the season, there is no reason why we should change," he claimed.
Which is quite strange, as before Hungary, Leclerc was 63 points behind Max Verstappen already down to reliability problems and strategy errors, in addition to two driving errors from the Monegasque in Imola and Paul Ricard.
"I think we simply need to address what was wrong today," Binotto went on. "We need to understand, and then to address and get back competitive at the 12 races so far [before Hungary] and the reason why it could not be the case at the next one."
With Leclerc seeing his Formula 1 Title hopes dwindling after yet another hit last Sunday, Binotto reflected: "As a leader, he is [key] to continue building, building for the team and building for himself step by step, and I think to look at each single race as an opportunity to win.
"We are winning and losing altogether. Today it has not been a great one, but I think there is still much potential and a lot of potential.
"We need to focus first to understand the reasons of today, address them, and come back even stronger," the Scuderia chief concluded.
Verstappen winning F1 Title a matter of time?

Gender Usage of Confidant vs Confidante
After reading an article in which it was stated that Che Guevara became a confidante of Fidel Castro, I am now very confused about the proper usage of the words confidante and confidant.
Every definition I can find of "confidante" says that it is mainly used for a female friend with whom you share personal information. This obviously doesn't work in the case of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. In addition, I have read or heard this word used many times to refer generally to a friend with whom you disclose personal information - male or female. Actually, I always associated this word with a male friend...
The dictionaries say that "confidant" is the term used for a male friend in this regards, but I rarely even see it used.
So my question is, has the usage of "confidante" become more gender-neutral in recent history or am I just ignorant? Is it appropriate to use "confidante" to refer to a male friend, or should I only use "confidant"?

It's pronounced the same regardless of whether the final "e" is present in the orthographic form (which I personally probably wouldn't bother with). Having said that, whereas I've no problem with she was a confidant, I must say that he was a confidante looks a bit silly to me. Google Books backs me up on that one, with 3,200 hits for the former (effectively ignoring gender), but just 9 hits for the latter (misassigned gender).
@FumbleFingers My own sense is that it is more commonly used (in Britain at least) with the e, even where it refers to a male. That seems to be borne out by the OED: Confidante. Etymology: Compare confidant n. It may be that this was first formed to represent the sound of the French confidente, and that the masculine confidant was formed from it. The feminine is the more common in use.
– WS2
@WS2: According to this NGram, was a confidant of has always been far more common than confidante in both AmE and BrE corpuses. In fact, given the "feminised" version barely existed at all until about a century ago, I think it's really just an over-enthusiastic "orthographic hypercorrection".
@FumbleFingers According to the OED, the original, in English, was the feminised form, and the masculine was simply back-formed from it.
@WS2: That's as may be, but perhaps this NGram will make my point more clearly. Statistically speaking, apart from a brief appearance around 1805, the explicitly feminine version was virtually unknown until almost a century later. Historically, there was obviously an element of "back-formation", but that's hardly relevant today.
Some believe confidant/confidante should be gender-specific in English à la fiancé/fiancée. Others believe there is no need (especially as it is not a pure import from French) or are blissfully unaware of its gender-specific connotations.
Here is some advice (admittedly in the Law niche) from A Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage by Bryan A. Garner:
Also here is view from grammarist.com which broadly agrees that confidant is preferred.
Confidant, which refers to one to whom secrets or private thoughts are disclosed, refers to both males and females. Confidante sometimes appears in reference to females, but the male–female distinction is unnecessary here. One might argue the distinction is justified because it preserves the French forms, but in fact, confidant is not even a French word. It was invented by English writers in the 18th century. The French equivalent is confident (which is indeed inflected confidente for females).
So Che Guevara became a confidant of Fidel Castro seems to be preferred by both these sources.
EDIT Looking at N-Grams, it seems the gender specific users are in the majority. I see this order of popularity in BrE ...
female confidante
male confidant
female confidant
male confidante
whereas in AmE female confidant overtakes male confidant. Perhaps both my quoted references are AmE focused!
k1erank1eran
I don't suppose we can get a similar ruling on "incognito" and "incognita."
– Airymouse
@Airymouse Maybe that one deserves its own question ?
– k1eran
Thank you for the great references! I think I'll take your advice and stick to "confidant" since there doesn't seem to be as much linguistic support for "confidante" anyway...
– Tagger
"perhaps because of the French nasal pronunciation" - and perhaps also because "confident" is an English adjective (from the noun "confidence") with a rather different meaning.

April 2007 saw the official opening of Hopkins Architects' Shin-Marunouchi building, a 198m 'skyscraper' in the Marunouchi district. Situated directly opposite Tokyo station, the gateway to Japan, and on the main ceremonial axis to the Imperial Palace, the building is arguably the most important and publicly recognisable site in Japan. The brief was to build upon an existing, 1952 constructed, nine-storey building in a truly modern style, whilst addressing the historical setting. Hopkins have created an additional 35 floors above ground and four below, offering a total of 195,000 sq metres of retail, public and office space.
