ER, France, Western Europe
Death of Louis d'Orleans- Medieval Murder Mystery
Portrait of Louis I, Duke of Orleans Photo Credit- Oxxo
Charles VI of France was, to put it politely, nuts. At various points he forgot he had a wife and children, nearly murdered his brother, and thought he was made of glass. During that spell, Charles forbade anyone to touch him in case he shattered and had rods sewn into his clothes to protect him. It's never a good time for the leader of a country to be insane, but this was a particularly bad one. France was embroiled in the Hundred Years War with England.
Charles came to the throne as an eleven year old child. While he was in his minority, the duchies of Burgundy, Anjou and Berry functioned as separate countries with nominal allegiance to the crown. Burgundy's heir was John the Fearless, so nicknamed during a battle with the Turks in 1396. Burgundy contained Flanders, which was rich from the wool and weaving trade, and had more money than the crown. John was also Charles' first cousin, so John took the initiative to help his younger cousin by practically running the government. He thought he had it made. Not so.
When Charles came of age at fourteen, he attempted to take over management of the kingdom. However, he was crippled by his first attack of madness. More and more the reins of government were falling to his brother, Louis d'Orleans. Duties and privileges that once went to John were going to Louis. That could not stand.
The two kept uneasy peace with the help of Charles' queen, Isabeau of Bavaria. The peace held until John's father died and John became Duke of Burgundy in his own right in 1404. Then things started to get dirty. Rumors started to pop up that Louis and Isabeau were closer than brother and sister-in-law, and that her last child was Louis' not the king's. The rumors continued saying this was only to be expected from a man who kept nude portraits of all of his conquests locked in a room. Rumor also accused Louis of making a pass at John's beautiful wife and when she said no he tried to rape her.
Then Louis raised taxes to arm the garrisons to defend against the English because the Hundred Years War was still going on. People threw back their heads and howled. It took little to convince them Louis was lining his own pockets. More whispers insinuated everyone would be better off under a tried and true war hero. Where could we get one of those? Say…John the Fearless?
Matters came to a head on November 23, 1407. Louis went to dine with the queen at her private residence. His valet came and told him the king had recovered from his latest spell of madness and wished to speak to him. Louis left at once for the palace. This was a lie.
On the way to the palace, Louis and his attendants were attacked by twenty masked men screaming, "Kill him! Kill him!" They attacked Louis and cut his hand he put up to fend off a blow then cleaved his head in twain. The assailants then beat his head until the brains were all over the cobblestones. Ouch.

Someone scooped up the carnage and Louis d'Orleans was buried church of the Celestin with John the Fearless ostentatiously mourning. No one bought it. He was suspect number one. Three days later, he admitted he hired Raoul d'Anquetonville to do the deed and fled Paris. Raoul was then given a handsome payday.
You would think vengeance would rain down on the killer of the king's beloved brother. Well, you would be wrong. In a move that would make Machiavelli blush, he accused Louis of trying to kill the king by black magic. So really John was the hero here. John's biographer Richard Vaughan called this "one of the most insolent pieces of political chicanery" in history.
But the king bought it. I mentioned he was crazy, right? A full pardon was issued and John and Louis' heir were formally reconciled at Chartres Cathedral. Advisers were afraid to charge John would court civil war. However, ten years later Charles' son would kill John. It's the circle of life in the game of thrones.

Blake Snell has a real chance to win the AL Cy Young Award.
Coming into the season, expectations were as low for the Tampa Bay Rays as they've been in years. In the span of one offseason, face of the franchise Evan Longoria was traded to the San Francisco Giants, Logan Morrison (team-leading 38 HR and .868 OPS in 2017) and Jake Odorizzi (10-8, 4.14 ERA) found their way to the Minnesota Twins, All-Star outfielder Corey Dickerson was DFA's and ended up as a Pirate at the same time Team MVP and fellow outfielder Steve Souza Jr. and his 30 home runs were sent to the Diamondbacks, and set-up man Tommy Hunter (bullpen leading 1.3 WAR) moved on to Philadelphia. Additionally, after a lengthy holdout, veteran righty Alex Cobb (12-10, 3.66 ERA in 2017) left in free agency and moved on from the Rays after eight seasons to their division rivals, the Baltimore Orioles, and his replacement in the rotation, consensus Top-15 prospect in baseball Brent Honeywell, tore his UCL, requiring Tommy John Surgery that would cost him all of 2017, and the start of 2018 as well.
Yet despite a disastrous offseason and the in-season trades of All-Star closer Alex Colome and ace Chris Archer the Rays are currently ten games over .500 at 73-63, on pace to win 87 games after winning 80 a season ago. While one person can't be credited with the Rays remarkable outplaying of expectations (except maybe for manager Kevin Cash, who has proven himself to be one of the game's most innovative minds for the adoption of "the opener" this season) it is time that first-time All-Star Blake Snell starts to get the love he deserves, especially as he marches towards what could be a first-place finish in the AL Cy Young voting.
The Rays first-round pick out of Shoreline High School (Shoreline, WA) in 2011, Snell's rise hasn't come out of nowhere, as he was Baseball America's #12 prospect heading into the 2016 season. In his first two years in the majors in 2016-2017, Snell was solid, going 11-15 with a 3.83 ERA, 3.87 FIP, and 8.9 K/9 in 43 games. However, control was a major issue early on for the left-hander, with 110 BB in 218.1 IP (4.5 BB/9), which caused his WHIP to balloon to 1.447.
With Snell's stuff never in question, the potential to make the jump forward was certainly there with more control, which he has been able to do this season. Although still not particularly low, Snell's 3.2 BB/9 represent a career-best by 0.9 BB/9 and coincided with a boost in strikeouts with a new high-watermark of 10.5 K/9. Below is a scouting report from Brooks Baseball detailing how Snell has successfully mixed-up his four pitches this season.
Blake Snell has thrown 6,432 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2015 and 2018, all of them occurring in the MLB Regular Season. In 2018, he has relied primarily on his Fourseam Fastball (96mph), also mixing a Change (89mph), Curve (82mph) and Slider (89mph). His four-seam fastball is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, has much less armside movement than typical, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' four-seamers and has some added backspin. His change is thrown extremely hard and has a lot of backspin. His curve is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves and has a sharp downward bite. His slider is thrown extremely hard and generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders.
In the first half of the season, Snell quietly dominated the American League with a 12-5 record, 2.27 ERA (3rd in the AL), 1.067 WHIP, and 134 K (8th in the AL) in 119.0 IP (10.1 K/9). Yet despite his success, he watched as he was left off the initial American League All-Star roster, only making it on to the roster as an injury replacement for Corey Kluber even though his 2.09 ERA led the AL at the time the rosters were announced. As a follow-up to his All-Star selection, Snell has been even better for the Rays in the second half, going 5-0 in six starts with a 1.10 ERA (4 ER in 32.2 IP) 0.796 WHIP, 11.8 K/9, and perhaps most importantly to Snell, a 6.14 K:BB ratio.
Since he does play for the Tampa Bay Rays, Snell isn't yet a household name, as evident by his initial All-Star snub this season. But as the MLB season turns to its final month, Snell has found himself in the thick of the AL Cy Young race, particularly as Chris Sale and Trevor Bauer work to return from injuries. On the surface, Snell's statistical case for the Cy Young Award is simple; he is leading the league in wins with 17, is second in the AL in WAR for Pitchers (5.8) ERA (2.02) and Hits/9 (5.875), 3rd in winning % at .773, 4th in WHIP at 1.009, 5th in HR/9 at 0.831, and 7th in K/9 with 10.503, good for 177 strikeouts overall. For the season, opponents are hitting .186/.261/.319 in 592 plate appearances against Snell.
Digging deeper into the numbers is where Snell's award case becomes even more compelling. Snell has yet to have a month where his ERA crept of 2.52, with monthly ERA's of 2.52 in March/April, 2.60 in May, 1.74 in June, 2.04 in July, and 1.04 in August. In his four no-decisions this season, Snell has been dominant, with a 1.21 ERA, 0.806 WHIP, and 4.20 K:BB in 22.1 IP; had these games swung in Snell's favor, he'd already be at 21 wins with a month of the season left to go. Perhaps most importantly for the Rays, Snell has been successful at home and on the road, going a microscopic 8-1 with a 1.06 ERA and 0.872 WHIP in Tampa, but maintaining a strong 2.79 ERA, 1.119 WHIP, and 11.1 K/9 on the road. According to Baseball-Reference, opponents have hit .105/.181/.174 against Snell in high leverage situations, including .063/.224/.146 with runners in scoring position. And while baseball begins to pull pitchers before letting them face a team for a third time through the order, Snell has held hitters to a .224/.295/.414 mark when facing them for the time in a game.
Overall, the biggest piece of Snell's Cy Young candidacy is his ability to rise to the occasion against stronger opponents. Against teams with a winning percentage of .500+, Snell is 9-3 with a 1.84 ERA, 1.008 WHIP, and 10.4 K/9 in 83.1 IP, including a 3-0 record and 1.08 ERA against the AL East-leading Red Sox, and 2-0 record and 1.26 ERA against the AL West-leading Houston Astros. Below is a snapshot of some of Snell's appearances against teams with a winning record this season.
As of today, the Rays have 73 wins; Snell has been on the hill of almost ¼ of them at 23.29%, which outlines just how valuable he has been to the team this season. Coming into a season where the franchise faced more uncertainty then they have since dropping the "Devil" in their name, not only have the Rays found their ace of the future in Blake Snell, but they just may have their second Cy Young trophy by season's end as well.

Is creativity learned or is it in our DNA? I don't know, but for me it's definitely a way of thinking. When I look at some broken or battered piece of furniture I see what it used to be and what it could be now. The same is true for a piece of fabric or a skein of yarn. I see the possibilities.
When I'm in the planning stage I think about what colors the recipient would like. It helps me to stay out of the rut of making only what appeals to me. When I'm making something, I try to consciously think good thoughts about the person that will receive it. I like to think the 'love' goes with it.
My goal is for whatever I make to be different from the mass produced and disposable. My wish is for whatever I make to be meaningful enough that it will be cherished, and quality enough to be passed on years from now. That being said I occasionally like to make things that have no other reason for being except for the fun of it, the spice of life so to speak, which has its own value. Besides, I have to leave the door open to the variety because the possibilities are limitless!


Monarch Blockchain Corporation partnered with Swarm to support SRC20 security tokens and the SWM token on its Monarch wallet.
Monarch Blockchain Corporation announced on Friday that it signed an agreement with blockchain startup Swarm. According to the partnership, Swarm's SRC20 security tokens, along with the SWM utility token, will be available on the Monarch Wallet. Swarm is a blockchain-oriented firm that tokenizes private equity with help with its proprietary SRC20 protocol related to the development of security tokens.
Also, the Swarm team noted that there was no stable and scalable option to trade security tokens in a compliant manner, so it developed its Market Access Protocol. The solution enables the execution of transactions under a regulatory framework while ensuring a high degree of security and privacy. In the first quarter of 2019, Monarch will work on an online exchange platform that will integrate MAP, which will allow participants to trade security tokens conveniently and compliantly.
The Monarch Wallet provides its users with decentralized cold storage, suggesting that the company doesn't store clients' private keys. According to the partnership, users will be able to hold Swarm's SRC20-based security tokens and the SWM token using the secure cold storage option of the Monarch Wallet.
Earlier, we reported that Swarm was tokenizing the equity of trading app provider Robinhood, launching a pre-funding round for the Robinhood Equity Token (RHET) in August.

Bacterial community evolution along full-scale municipal wastewater treatment processes.
This study investigated the changes in the bacterial community over the course of treatment by a WWTP. Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing was performed to characterize the bacterial communities in the WWTP. This study found that potential pathogens in the WWTP, especially the genera Arcobacter and Acinetobacter, were greatly reduced. In addition, high chemical oxygen demand levels provided excessive growth substrates for the genera Hyphomicrobium and Rhodoplanes, the abundance of which could exceed autotrophic bacteria, increasing the ammonium removal. According to the network analysis, the bacterial assemblage was ...

An investigation of the possible scenarios for the optimal locating of quality sensors in the water distribution networks with uncertain contamination.
In this study, six scenarios are defined for the contamination event in the water distribution network. These scenarios consider the effects of varying pollutant dose and the contamination input from nodes which are prone to its entry. Also, the NSGA-II has been utilized in order to minimize the damage with minimum number of sensors. The proposed model is evaluated on a real network in Iran. The results indicate that adding only one or two contamination warning sensors to the proposed locations can lead to the decreasing damage caused by the contaminated water consumption from 54 to 82%. According to the proposed method, t...
Water desalination, serum magnesium and dementia: a population-based study.
In this study, we explore the link between serum magnesium levels and the prevalence of dementia following the adoption of desalinated water (DSW) in Israel. DSW contains no magnesium, and relying on it for drinking water can lead to an increased incidence of hypomagnesia. Our objective was to analyze in a treat-control context how the switch to desalinated drinking water affected serum magnesium concentrations and the prevalence of dementia. We selected two cities which differed in terms of their access to underground aquifers but were otherwise similar. Rehovot has no underground water and uses over 90% DSW, whereas Kfar...
Inorganic contaminants in Canadian First Nation community water systems.
We examined 12 years of data from 47 First Nation community water systems to identify systems experiencing difficulties meeting sampling frequency or regulatory guidelines. While most contaminant concentrations were below guideline values, we identified elevated concentrations and issues with sampling frequency. No system met both sampling frequency requirements - a minimum of one sample per year per analyte - and regulatory guidelines. Exceedance rates for lead, manganese, and arsenic were high in some systems. Moreover, current sampling procedures for lead specify that taps be flushed prior to sampling, which is known to...

This study investigated the potential for solar inactivated Vibrio cholerae to induce the maturation of dendritic cells in vitro. Dendritic cells are professional antigen presenting cells found in mammals. However, only in their mature form are dendritic cells able to play their role towards a long lasting immune response. Three strains of V. cholerae were solar irradiated for 7 hours. Thereafter, the solar irradiated, non-solar irradiated, phosphate buffered saline prepared and heat/chemically inactivated cultures of V. cholerae as well as lipopolysaccharide and cholerae toxin-β subunit were used to stimulate immatur...
Social factors shaping the adoption of lead-filtering point-of-use systems: an observational study of an MTurk sample.
Authors: Chesley N, Meier H, Luo J, Apchemengich I, Davies WH Abstract Some municipalities are promoting lead-filtering point-of-use (POU) systems to minimize the risk of lead exposure through drinking water, often targeting use at racial minorities and low-income households. However, links among social inequality markers and adoption of these systems are not well understood. Survey data on adoption and use of POU systems were collected from a U.S. Mechanical Turk (MTurk) sample (N = 2,867) in March 2018. We use logistic regression to assess the association of race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES), and lead-fi...
Reducing public exposure to common, harmful well water contaminants through targeted outreach to highly susceptible neighborhoods as a method of increasing the likelihood of testing and treatment of water from private wells.
Authors: MacDonald K, Tippett M Abstract While the Safe Drinking Water Act mandates testing of public water supplies in the USA, private well owners are responsible for testing and treating their own water. A small percentage of well owners perform annual testing as recommended and many never test at all for common and potentially harmful groundwater contaminants. Finding effective ways to inform residents of the risks associated with their private well drinking water and promote the testing and treatment for common contaminants is a challenge faced by federal, state, and local agencies concerned with public health...

Sub-optimal household water access is associated with greater risk of intimate partner violence against women: evidence from Nepal.
Authors: Choudhary N, Brewis A, Wutich A, Udas PB Abstract Household water management is often women's responsibility, as related to the gendered nature of household roles. Ethnographic data suggest that household water insecurity could increase women's exposure to emotional and physical forms of intimate partner violence (IPV), as punishments for failures to complete socially expected household tasks that rely on water (like cooking and cleaning) and the generally elevated emotional state of household members dealing with resource scarcity. Here, we test the associations between sub-optimal household water access ...

Coliform bacteria and salt content as drinking water challenges at sand dams in Kenya.
This study investigated the levels of coliform bacteria and salt content as parameters of potential concern. Most water taken from sand dam sources had fecal coliforms present. Median fecal coliforms were in the range of 150-800 cfu/100 ml for unprotected sources (scoop holes, surface water or hand dug wells), levels which are considered high or very high health risk. Pump wells had less contamination, with fecal coliforms detected in one-third of samples in the dry season. Despite this contamination, user surveys indicated that 74% of communities generally view water as clean for drinking, and 72% reported that no or few ...
Pharmaceuticals' removal by constructed wetlands: a critical evaluation and meta-analysis on performance, risk reduction, and role of physicochemical properties on removal mechanisms.

Estimating the malaria transmission over the Indian subcontinent in a warming environment using a dynamical malaria model.
Authors: Chaturvedi S, Dwivedi S Abstract Malaria is a major public health problem in India. The malaria transmission is sensitive to climatic parameters. The regional population-related factors also influence malaria transmission. To take into account temperature and rainfall variability and associated population-related effects (in a changing climate) on the malaria transmission over India, a regional dynamical malaria model, namely VECTRI (vector-borne disease community model) is used. The daily temperature and rainfall data derived from the historical (years 1961-2005) and representative concentration pathway (...

This study aimed to assess the public health risk of coliforms and Escherichia coli contamination of potable water sources in Egypt. A total of 150 water samples (100 tap and 50 well) were collected from five districts in Gharbia governorate, Egypt. High rates of coliforms contamination were recorded in 52 and 76% of examined tap and well water samples, respectively. E. coli strains were detected in 16% of the water samples (15% tap water and 18% well water; 23.7% rural and 8.1% urban). Rural water sources were 3.5 times more likely to be contaminated than urban sources (P = 0.01). Eight (33.3%) E. coli isolates were Shiga...
Aquatic yeasts: diversity, characteristics and potential health implications.
Authors: Monapathi ME, Bezuidenhout CC, James Rhode OH Abstract There has been a rising interest in the levels, diversity and potential impacts of yeasts in aquatic environments. Some of the species isolated from such niches are known pathogens or have pathogenic and antifungal resistance features. This deems it necessary to understand the characteristics and potential health implications of such environmental yeasts species. Studies on these subjects are limited. Most studies on aquatic yeasts have linked them to water pollution. However, the current gold standards to determine microbial pollution of water use bac...

Preparation and characterization of PAN nanofibers containing boehmite nanoparticles for the removal of microbial contaminants and cadmium ions from water.
Authors: Borhani S, Asadi A, Dabbagh HA Abstract Nanofibers of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/boehmite were prepared by electrospinning a homogeneous solution of PAN/DMF (dimethyl formamide). Enhancing the amount of boehmite nanoparticles (NPs) led to increase in the nanofibers' diameter. Samples had high pure water flux, which did not change significantly with boehmite concentration, but decreased with increasing electrospinning duration. Escherichia coli bacteria removal was remarkably more efficient, as it was enhanced from 72.33% to 97.37% with increase in the boehmite NPs' concentration from 0 to 10% wt. High bacteri...

Louie Gohmert on Mueller report: It reinforced the anal opening I believe Mueller to be
Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert has commented on long-awaited former US Special Counsel Robert Mueller's testimony before the Congress, which will take place on July 17th, by saying that Mueller's "got to answer" for things he had damaged, reported Politico Monday.
After being issued a congressional subpoena Mueller agreed to testify before two House Commitees. Both Democrats and Republicans are willing to grill Mueller, yet for different reasons. While Democratic lawmakers are hoping to get more information about Russian Interference, ties of Trump campaign with Russians and possible obstruction of justice by the sitting US President Donald Trump, Republicans want to grill Mueller in order to prove that the whole investigation was nothing more that a "hoax."
Republican Party Representative Gohmert, who is a member of both House Judiciary and House Intelligence Committees, claimed that Mueller "has done some irreparable damage to some things and he's got to answer for them." Gohmert added that he read the Mueller report, but it did not change his attitude towards former Special Counsel. "It reinforced the anal opening that I believe Mueller to be," he said.
Another Republican Representative Jim Jordan, who gets to question Mueller on July 17th, said that he would ask former Counsel "the obvious question." According to Jordan "everyone in the country wants to know: when did you first know there was no conspiracy, coordination or collusion?"
"How much longer did it take Bob Mueller to figure that out? Did he intentionally wait until after 2018 midterm, or what? How did he handle all that? What did he ask Mr. Strzok? Did he really check into how biased he was and how it impacted his work?" – these and many other questions Jordan said he would ask. "I think that's a pretty good line of questioning,"

UPDATE 5-Musk's Tesla electrifies bitcoin with $1.5 bln bet, car…
/Тех.обслуживание /UPDATE 5-Musk's Tesla electrifies bitcoin with $1.5 bln bet, car…
By Subrat Patnaik, Anna Irrera and David Randall
Feb 8 (Reuters) — Bitcoin took another large stride toward mainstream acceptance on Monday after billionaire Elon Musk's electric vehicle company Tesla Inc revealed it had purchased $1.5 billion of the binance cryptocurrency exchange and would soon accept it as a form of payment.
The announcements, buried deep in Tesla's 2020 annual report, drove a 10% surge in the world's most widely-held binance cryptocurrency exchange.Investors anticipated other companies will soon join a list of firms that invest in or hold bitcoin including BlackRock Inc, the world's largest asset manager, and payments companies Square and PayPal.
Musk has upended Wall Street over the last year and briefly became the world's richest person as shares of Tesla surged nearly 500% to become the fifth most-valuable U.S.company, leaving other companies and investors eager to follow in his wake.
«If any lesser mortals had made the decision to put part of their balance sheet in Bitcoin, I don't think it would have been taken seriously,» said Thomas Hayes, managing member at Great Hill Capital LLC in New York.»But when the richest man in the world does it, everyone has to take a second look.»
The news sparked heavy trading in cryptocurrencies and caused exchanges like Coinbase, Gemini, doe't binance texas to experience technical issues, according to Coindesk website
A well-known supporter of cryptocurrencies, Musk has weighed in regularly on the past month's frenzy in retail investment, also driving up prices of the meme-based digital currency dogecoin and shares of U.S.video game chain GameStop.
He said a week ago that bitcoin was «on the verge» of being more widely accepted among investors, and in December asked if it was possible to do large transactions in the currency.
In late January, Musk changed the bio of his Twitter account, which has 46 million followers, to include #bitcoin.
Tesla said in a filing the decision was part of its broad investment policy as a company and was aimed at diversifying and maximizing its returns on cash, including holding gold.The report said it ended 2020 with $19.38 billion in cash and cash equivalents.
«We expect to begin accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for our products in the near future, subject to applicable laws and initially on a limited basis, which we may or may not liquidate upon receipt,» the company said.
Tesla said it had invested an aggregate $1.5 billion in bitcoin under the changed policy and could «acquire and hold digital assets from time to time or long-term.» website
Gold jumped more than 1% Monday while ethereum, another cryptocurrency, surged to a record high.
LONG-TERM STORE OF VALUE?
Central banks remain skeptical of digital currencies, but analysts say the more real world uses appear for bitcoin, the more attractive it will prove as a long-term store of value.
Bitcoin surged more than 10% to a record high of $43,625 after Tesla's disclosure.
«The argument for bitcoin is evolving. It used to be negative (reasons to buy) but suddenly there are positive reasons, and that's why you see bitcoin at (new highs),» Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic advisor of Allianz, told CNBC.
Tesla is the latest company to add bitcoin to its corporate treasury, following similar moves by Square, the payments company led by Twitter Inc chief Jack Dorsey and U.S.software firm MicroStrategy Inc.
PayPal said in October that it would allow customers to buy, sell and hold bitcoin and other virtual coins using its online wallets. It remains to be seen whether bitcoin will see greater adoption as a form of payment, something that it has traditionally struggled to achieve.
«If this becomes a trend in corporate treasuries the downside of staying on the sidelines will only become costlier over time,» said Maya Zehavi, a blockchain consultant.Musk has also endorsed other cryptocurrencies. He gave dogecoin, the coin based on a popular internet meme, a shoutout on Twitter last week, sending its price to record highs over the weekend.
Dogecoin was created largely as a satirical critique of the 2013 crypto frenzy and is not taken as seriously as bitcoin or ethereum.It has almost doubled in value since Friday, hitting a record 8.71 cents, according to data on blockchain and cryptocurrency website Coindesk.

The stars didn't quite align for a record day for rocket launches.
Three missions scheduled for Tuesday were scrubbed. Elon Musk's SpaceX postponed a launch of a Global Positioning System satellite for the U.S. Air Force from Cape Canaveral, Florida, citing a technical issue involving its rocket sensors.
Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin halted a launch from West Texas because of "a ground infrastructure issue." And Arianespace said weather conditions forced it to delay a mission in French Guiana.
United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp., still has a mission scheduled for Tuesday evening. For the others, Wednesday is now the big potential day for launches.
Lockheed rescheduled the deployment of a next-generation Global Positioning System satellite for Wednesday, even though congressional investigators say it has suspect capacitors that could undermine its mission.
The GPS-III satellite scheduled to be sent into orbit by Elon Musk's SpaceX is the first of a new wave of spacecraft that promise greater accuracy and stronger signals to help guide everything from ride-sharing services to missiles.
But the satellite, launching four years late, contains about 600 suspect capacitors out of almost 28,000 parts used on its navigation payload. The Air Force decided in 2016 not to replace them after the capacitors were discovered on the second and third satellites being built and pulled them out.
All sides agreed that the subcontractor at the time, Exelis Inc. and now Harris Corp. had failed to do required testing on the capacitors five years earlier, in 2011, with Lockheed saying it was responsible for maintaining oversight of its subcontractors. Despite the setback, the Air Force, Lockheed and Harris all expressed confidence that the satellite will operate as expected.
The Air Force decided that the risk in taking apart the satellite and reassembling it "to remove and replace the capacitors was greater than the risk of launching the satellite 'as is,'" said Cristina Chaplain, director of space acquisition oversight for the independent Government Accountability Office, via email.
The $529 million satellite was already 28 months late at the time in 2016 when the service began investigating capacitor failures. But "rigorous" ground testing of the satellite gave the companies and the Air Force confidence they could go forward without opening up the satellite, Chaplain said.
Nevertheless, "by definition, this satellite has a greater level of risk built in," she added, saying "cost and schedule considerations also were at play, obviously," in the decision not to tamper with the first satellite.
The Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center said in an email that the satellite, which weighs 9,700 pounds when fueled, "has undergone more than 11,000 hours of testing without capacitor failures, giving further confidence" that it "will perform nominally."
The center said the current constellation of GPS satellites "is robust and can absorb" an "early mission degradation should any failures happen on orbit" with the new satellite. The navigation payload units "are internally redundant and it would take multiple capacitor failures" before the satellite "would experience system degradation," the center said.
Harris spokeswoman Ellen Mitchell and Lockheed spokesman Chip Eschenfelder echoed that view in separate emails, saying the satellite has been rigorously tested and the navigation payload's capacitors experienced no issues. They said the payload is mission ready and will operate as intended.
Pentagon combat testing and systems engineering specialists aren't as confident. Test officials for Director of Operational Test and Evaluation Robert Behler currently assess that capacitor reliability risks may limit operational effectiveness once in orbit.
Similarly, the Pentagon's systems engineering office said in a recent assessment to Defense Department officials and congressional staff that although the second through 10th GPS III satellites under construction "are predicted to exceed" their reliability requirements, the first "is at high risk'' as a result of the "suspect capacitors."
A failure or a significant degradation in performance would be an embarrassing turn of events for the military and the companies. Lockheed was the sole bidder on a second batch of up to 22 more GPS III satellites valued at as much as $7.2 billion. That came despite a myriad of problems during the program's early phase that led to more than $600 million in added costs and four years of delay.
The capacitors in question on the GPS satellite are a critical part in a series of circuit cards that take higher-voltage power from the main power system and reduce it to a voltage required for specific subsystems.
Even with a successful launch and placement into orbit, the satellite won't be operational for at least a year as it goes through at least six months of system and component checks and another six months of integration testing with the existing GPS constellation, Air Force officials told reporters Dec 14.


The pork chop was juicy and tasty but too salty for a grill. Would be great for ramen?? Ravioli was delicious too but with the right lemon flavor, I'd prefer some vegetable broth around it rather than butter sautéed. It was exciting to go to the farmers market again though (and taking Otis!). Summer is here officially!

Coles has met their customers' demand for high quality, grass-fed beef with the recent expansion of the Graze grass-fed beef range at all supermarkets.
Graze product range has expanded from selected stores in New South Wales and Victoria to all states and territories in Australia.
Coles Livestock manager, Steve Rennie, said the popularity of the range has resulted in the supermarket giant sourcing beef from more than 300 Australian farming families so customers across Australia could try it.
"Graze is a grass-fed beef range designed by Coles and Australian farmers to meet customer demand for more meat that comes from animals that are fed and raised naturally," Rennie told Inside FMCG.
"Offering a grass-fed beef range nationally is all about providing our customers with choice. Some people prefer grass-fed and others prefer grain-fed and we're excited we can now offer both to our customers.
The Graze program requires farmers to be independently assessed by industry auditor AUS-MEAT to ensure they are meeting the rigorous standards in animal husbandry and pasture management. Second generation Wangaratta cattle producer, Nigel Stephens, praised Coles for supporting grass-fed farming practices and giving customers great quality meat they can trust.
"I've been working with Coles for more than 15 years and this provides a fantastic opportunity for my farm to diversify and increase our supply. It means we will provide more cattle and get a good price all year round," said Stephens.
Graze product range includes 10 beef products such as porterhouse, scotch fillet, mince, burgers, sausages, stir fry and meatballs.

Fashionistas, this past Saturday marked the one anniversary of the grand opening of the Goodwill retail store in Bowie, MD. To celebrate this amazing accomplishment they offered a 50% off all donated goods sale. You know I was there!
Do you remember the store's exciting grand opening last year? It was filled with eager customers, fun finds, and good vibes all around. One year later, the store has gained even more charm (and gems!).
During my visit, I took home, as per usual, a cart full of great finds. But I was also able to put together a quick look under $15.
Not only did I find a fun spring look, I also took home a few other gems including some highly sought after name brands and vintage showstoppers.
When perusing through the skirts section, this work-appropriate white, black, and silver textured, Chanel-like beauty from H&M made its way into my cart without question. At 50% off, I knew I was going to take this baby home.
It goes well with pretty much anything black in my closet. But yellow or blue would look nice up top as well.
But then I saw this vintage, preppy shirt in the kid's section and fell in love with it as well. But to pair it with the skirt? This thought didn't cross my mind until I tried them on together. Somehow, this light color combo worked effectively together. And, voila! An outfit was born.
I think these pieces pair well together because it's form fitting and has a light color scheme. They both have slightly vintage vibes as well, which make them kind of a dynamic duo.
Finally, when I got home, I decided this look needed earrings. I immediately thought of the perfect pair!
You know me and my obsession with vintage. So the first pair I envisioned were my beloved gold elephant clip-ons from another DC Goodwill store. I usually don't tend to mix my silver and gold. But the silver zippers on the skirt are so subtle, I don't think it matters.
And that's my look! The top and skirt were about $2.50 a piece. In fact, my earrings (around $4), were the most expensive singular item in this spring ensemble!
Each gem was under $5 and I CANNOT wait to wear them in the office or the gym.

Women event a 'wakeup call' for men
On Tuesday night 50 people gathered in the Beca auditorium to discuss how we can encourage more women into STEM. As consultants and engineers, we build and design things for everyone - including women. And we know that diverse teams produce better outcomes. So why is our industry so underrepresented when it comes to gender? ACE CE, Helen Davidson shares her thoughts.
The Women in STEM event
Alexia Hilbertidou kicked off the night by telling us how she was the only girl in a sea of boys in a high school computer coding class. We all gaped when she explained how she was ridiculed by her classmates after winning a coding competition by her classmates and was told she only won because she was a girl and that she'd look good in the promotional material.
She told us about how the role models she was expected to look up to in her class were mainly white...boys. As a woman, of Samoan-Greek heritage, this could not have been further from who she was or could aspire to be.
Alexia started her business, GirlBoss, when she was 16 years old. She chose to ignore the advice of her parents and career advisor to go to university first. Alexia had experienced so much adversity and gender inequality throughout her short life; she felt compelled to do something about it. GirlBoss focuses on closing the gender gap in science, technology, engineering, maths, leadership and entrepreneurship in New Zealand. Companies, like Fletcher Construction, have approached Alexia to help them get more women into their programmes and eventually working for them.
Alexia left us thinking, could we be doing more to encourage women into STEM way earlier than what we have been?
Alexia then joined me, Darryl-Lee Wendelborn, MD Beca, Rupert Hodson, Northern Regional Manager Beca and Glen Cornelius, MD at Harrison Grierson, on the panel to take questions from the audience around gender equality in our industry.
Glen Cornelius said that we're treading water and not moving forward as much as we should be as an industry.
''83% of Engineering New Zealand's membership is men. We should be asking what do we do as an industry to effect change. We have The Wonder Project through Engineering New Zealand, and we have GirlBoss - so there are small bits going on, but I think it starts earlier by getting young women interested in STEM. That's the challenge that the industry is grappling with. I'm just not sure of the answer!''
I couldn't agree more. The mahi of The Wonder Project is an excellent programme for our Engineering New Zealand partners to have developed and we are seeing real results through that. As a sector we need to continue to support this initiative by volunteering our time (and our staff's time) as Wonder Project ambassadors inspiring the next generation of STEM professionals.
Darryl-Lee Wendelborn said that the reality is, gender inequality is a societal issue, not just an industry issue.
''Girls choose what they like to do and what they decide as fun at about seven years old. You can be what you see. So we need to make sure they see women in campaigns to entice them into STEM. We need to make sure they see Maori and Pasifika people, too - all of that.
We have to get them at primary school age - that's when they're going to decide to consider studying STEM subjects.''
Rupert Hodson also spoke about women in STEM once they begin their career.
''We need to grow them into leadership roles - as an industry, we can think more deeply about this. We need to have a good look at each of our businesses and ask ourselves some hard questions ''what are we doing?'' ''what are our statistics''. We need to understand our biases and do things a bit more deliberately. We need to think about the way we do things now that aren't fit-for-purpose - and that's sometimes uncomfortable.''
This caused me to reflect on our role to uplift and empower tomorrow's leaders paying conscious attention to providing those opportunities to women, Maori and Pasifika.
Something that stood out for me was that of the 50 people in the room; only a handful were men. Men also need to be our champions and allies when it comes to gender equality. Sarah Lang of Beca asked the panel how we can make this an industry issue rather than a women's issue?
Glen said that to broaden the net of bringing more male champions into the fold, we needed to sign up to the Diversity Agenda Accord.
''Because an organisation signs up to the Accord, rather than an individual, it means there is senior and management level buy-in which commits them to measure and report on stats within the business. If you aren't measuring and reporting, things don't get done. I think we need to be looking at how we ramp up the Accord."
Rupert spoke about what makes this an issue important for him.
''You don't know what you don't know, and having plenty of strong female role-models around me in the industry has made me realise that when it comes to planning specifically - you plan for everybody, and that's women, ethnicity and everything. You want to have a workforce that helps deliver that. We need representation across the community. Until the last few years, I just thought we were getting there, but I now have an awareness that this is not going to happen unless we push the envelope a bit more. Tonight is a wake-up call to do more.''
As a mother of two boys, I take my responsibility to build their awareness of this issue very seriously. We talked about growing young women to see opportunities, but we have to grow young men who understand the space they need to make for women.
The night left me thinking, what kind of future do we envision for women in STEM in Aotearoa? For me, the answer lies in another question; what kind of future do we envision for the success of our sector in Aotearoa – because I can guarantee you we won't get there unless we make our sector a welcoming and safe space for everyone, where everyone has an equal opportunity to excel.
