Early NDIS roll-out 'good news'
Endeavour Foundation Chief Executive Andrew Donne has welcomed news that the NDIS will roll out earlier than expected in Ipswich, Bundaberg and Rockhampton.
"The vast majority of people with a disability and their families are keen to get up and running and see what the NDIS can do for them," Mr Donne said.
"Waiting and wondering has taken its toll on some people, and for them this is great news.
"If people with a disability and families are panicking that they're now under pressure to start their NDIS planning, we urge them to reach out for support to assist in the process. There is no pressure for people to begin planning before they are ready.
"There is lots of information available, through the NDIA and support providers, who have been working hard to assist people through the transition and have experience of the NDIS in other regions.
"We welcome efforts by the Queensland and Commonwealth governments and the NDIA to speed the process along for people in need of support.
"We appreciate that this is being balanced with a commitment to quality.
"With regard to the lower than expected take-up of the NDIS in other regions, we know that not everyone who qualifies has completed their planning process as yet.
"It's important to make sure all eligible people understand the process and can gain access, including people from diverse cultural groups."
"We hope that the news of 'unused capacity' will be reported with as much enthusiasm as predictions that uptake was going to exceed expectations," Mr Donne concluded.

Spécial Magazine | Check out the First Photo of Beyonce's Twins!
It seems like we've been waiting forever for a sneak peak of Beyonce's newborn twins, and thankfully, the wait is finally over! Just last week, the queen of R&B posted a photo of her holding adorable little Sir and Rumi Carter. However, we can't help but think that the shot with all the flowers is very familiar.
She actually had a similar photoshoot in February when she announced her pregnancy. Wow, that's a really smooth move!

EEOC Issues Updated Pregnancy Discrimination Guidance
Publications - Client Alert | July 2, 2015
On June 25, 2015, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued updated enforcement guidelines regarding the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Young v. United Parcel Services, Inc., 135 S. Ct. 1338 (2015). In Young, the Court declined to give special, controlling weight to the July 2014 EEOC guidelines, finding the guidance was inconsistent with the EEOC's prior positions, and the EEOC did not explain the basis for the guidance.
In Young, the Supreme Court held a plaintiff in a PDA action may create a genuine issue of material fact as to whether an employer's policies impose a significant burden on pregnant employees by providing evidence that the employer accommodates a large percentage of nonpregnant workers while failing to accommodate a large percentage of pregnant workers. The Supreme Court further held the PDA requires courts to consider the extent to which an employer's policy treats pregnant workers less favorably than nonpregnant workers who are similar in their ability or inability to work.
The EEOC's New Guidance
The EEOC's new guidance makes changes to the section on disparate treatment and a section on light duty. It also deletes a section that gave guidance to employers on how to treat pregnant employees and persons similar in their ability or inability to work.
The revised section on disparate treatment adds an example from Young of evidence that would indicate disparate treatment based on pregnancy. The guidance provides: "Evidence of an employer policy or practice that, although not facially discriminatory, significantly burdens pregnant employees and cannot be supported by a sufficiently strong justification" indicates disparate treatment based on pregnancy.
The prior guidance on light duty required employers to provide light duty to pregnant workers on the same terms as employees injured on the job who are similar to pregnant workers in their ability or inability to work. The new guidance mirrors the Supreme Court's holding in Young. To establish a prima facie case of pregnancy discrimination, an employee must show she was a member of a protected class, she sought accommodation, the employer did not accommodate her, and the employer accommodated others with a similar ability or inability to work. The employer then may demonstrate a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for treating the pregnant employee differently. The guidance notes that this reason normally cannot consist simply of a claim that it is more expensive or less convenient to accommodate pregnant employees. Even if the employer meets the showing for a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason, the employee still may demonstrate pretext if the reasons are not sufficiently strong to justify the burden on pregnant employees. For example, a policy of accommodating most nonpregnant employees with lifting limitations, while categorically failing to accommodate pregnant employees with lifting limitations, may give rise to an inference of intentional discrimination.
The new guidance also deletes a section from the previous guidance about persons similar in their ability or inability to work. This section had stated that "[a]n employer may not refuse to treat a pregnant worker the same as other employees who are similar in their ability or inability to work by relying on a policy that makes distinctions based on the source of an employee's limitations (e.g., a policy of providing light duty only to workers injured on the job.)." This section was deleted in its entirety, as it is addressed by the guidance on light duty.
Read the full text of the EEOC's revised enforcement guidance is available here.
What Employers Need to Know
Courts have an obligation to follow EEOC guidelines only to the degree that they recognize the "persuasive power" of the guidelines. The EEOC's new guidance, however, closely follows the Supreme Court's holdings in Young. Employers need to be aware of this new guidance and ensure their policies and procedures are compliant. When evaluating requests for light duty from pregnant workers, employers should treat those workers the same as they would treat others with similar abilities, including those with work-related injuries. If an employer categorically excludes pregnant workers from light duty while accommodating similarly situated employees with on-the-job injuries, the employer should revisit this practice.
If you have any questions regarding the EEOC's new guidance or your company's policies, please contact your Kutak Rock LLP attorney or a member of our Employment Law Practice Group.

These Airports Are the Best For Stranded Business Travelers
By Jeffrey L. SeglinInc. Online
I'm stuck in Detroit's Metro Airport. The air-conditioning vent of the plane that was supposed to whisk me home to Boston is spewing hot air, which is worrisome. Even more worrisome is the fact that I've got several hours to kill in the airport while the thing's being fixed.
It's not a pretty sight. The building is old. The corridors are narrow. The gates are cramped. Outside of the airline membership lounges (which cost $100 to $500 apiece a year for typically no more than a comfortable couch and a free beverage), there's no place for a road warrior to get work done comfortably. There are electrical outlets along the corridor walls, but to use them you have to plunk yourself down in the middle of foot traffic. There are no tables or flat surfaces on which to set your laptop or, God forbid, spread out materials. And the phones? Forget it.
The only phone with a data jack, which I need to send and retrieve e-mail, is on a pole in the middle of a waiting area. There's no shelf, so I have to plug one end of the data cord into the phone, the other into my laptop, and crouch down -- balancing the computer on my lap. There are three other phones around this pole, each with a business traveler going through similar contortions. One balances her laptop like a food tray on her left hand while she stands at the phone. Another squeezes his computer bag up against the bottom of the phone to create a flat surface on which to rest his laptop. The fourth gives up entirely: he's carting around a suit bag, a computer bag, and a laptop and can't figure out a way to balance everything and key in data at the same time.
Detroit Metro is a dismal place for the road warrior. But unfortunately, it's not alone. Rare is the airport that's designed for the business traveler on the go, the guy with deadlines to meet whose world doesn't stop because the tarmac is too slick or too frosty. On-time arrival rates for the major airlines range from just 72% to 85%, so all too often we're left all booted up with nowhere to go. You'd think that with close to 280 million business customers a year, the folks in charge could do better.
Well, some of them have. After weeks of extensive research and totally subjective analysis, I've come up with a list of the three best airports to get stuck in in America. My methodology was straightforward: I recollected my travels. I asked around. I posted E-mail messages on newsgroups and bulletin boards soliciting suggestions (see Resources ). Then I went on a tour of the airports my sources said were the best.

Q: Chromium repeats three times search request When I try to search something in Chromium browser, it repeats a request string three times. I have Chromium version 44.0.2403.89 and Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit).
I write search request:

And after it press enter:

As a result I see three time repeated search request.

A: Yeah! I found solution for my trouble. If you'll whenever meet the same trouble, I know how to fix it.
Troubleshooting:

*

*In the top right, click the Chrome menu.

*Click settings.

*Go to the "Search" section.

*Click the button, that says "Manage search engines..."

In opened window I saw two different default google search settings. Which I use repeats search request three times (I don't have and ideas, what to do it request there).
He is: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&q=%s&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&channel=fflb&q=%s&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&channel=rcs

Neutrino Masses and $b-τ$ unification in the Supersymmetric Standard Model [PDF]
F. Vissani,A. Yu. Smirnov
Physics , 1994, DOI: 10.1016/0370-2693(94)90307-7
Abstract: There are several indications that the Majorana masses of the right-handed neutrino components, $M_R,$ are at the intermediate scale: $M_R\sim (10^{10}-10^{12})$ GeV or even lighter. The renormalization effects due to large Yukawa couplings of neutrinos from region of momenta $M_R \ltap q \ltap M_G$ are studied in the supersymmetric standard model. It is shown that neutrino renormalization effect can increase the $m_b/m_\tau$ ratio up to $(10\div 15)\%.$ This strongly disfavours $m_b-m_\tau$ unification for low values of $\tan\beta < 10$ especially at large values of $\alpha_s.$ Lower bounds on $M_R$ and $\tan\beta$ from the $b-\tau$ unification condition were found. The implications of the results to the see-saw mechanism of the neutrino mass generation are discussed.
Neutrino Masses within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model [PDF]
Mirjam Cvetic,Paul Langacker
Physics , 1992, DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.46.R2759
Abstract: We investigate the possibility of accommodating neutrino masses compatible with the MSW study of the Solar neutrino deficit within the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model. The ``gravity-induced'' seesaw mechanism based on an interplay of nonrenormalizable and renormalizable terms in the superpotential allows neutrino masses $m_\nu\propto m_u^2/M_I$, with $m_u$ the corresponding quark mass and $M_I\simeq 4\times10^{11}$ GeV, while at the same time ensuring the grand desert with the gauge coupling unification at $M_U\simeq 2\times10^{16}$ GeV. The proposed scenario may be realized in a class of string vacua, {\it i.e.,} large radius ($R^2/\alpha '={\cal O}(20)$) $(0,2)$ Calabi-Yau spaces. In this case $M_U^2=M_C^2/{\cal O} (2R^2/\alpha')$ and $M_I= {\cal O}(e^{-R^2/\alpha'})M_C$. Here $M_C=g\times 5.2\times 10^{17}$GeV is the scale of the tree level (genus zero) gauge coupling ($g$) unification.
Stringy Origin of Neutrino Masses within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model [PDF]
Mirjam Cvetic
Abstract: We present a ``gravity-induced'' seesaw mechanism, which accommodates neutrino masses ($m_\nu\propto m_u^2/M_I$, with $m_u$ the corresponding quark mass and $M_I\simeq 4\times10^{11}$ GeV) compatible with the MSW study of the Solar neutrino deficit within the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (the grand desert with the gauge coupling unification at $M_U\simeq 2\times10^{16}$ GeV). We show that for large radius ($R^2/\alpha '={\cal O}(20)$) Calabi-Yau spaces, threshold corrections ensure $M_U^2=M_C^2/{\cal O} (2R^2/\alpha')$ and the magnitude of the non-renormalizable terms in the superpotential yields $M_I= {\cal O}(e^{-R^2/\alpha'})M_C$. Here $M_C=g\times 5.2\times 10^{17}$GeV is the scale of the tree level (genus zero) gauge coupling ($g$) unification.
One-loop Corrected Neutrino Masses and Mixing in the Supersymmetric Standard Model without R-parity [PDF]
Eung Jin Chun,Sin Kyu Kang
Physics , 1999, DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.61.075012
Abstract: We provide, in the R-parity violating supersymmetric standard model, a comprehensive analysis for sneutrino minimization from the one-loop effective scalar potential, and also for one-loop renormalized neutrino masses and mixing by calculating the effective neutrino mass matrix in the weak basis. Applying our results to theories with gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, we show how atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations can be accommodated simultaneously in this framework. It is observed that the one-loop correction to sneutrino vacuum expectation values leads to a significant effect on the determination of the neutrino masses and mixing.
Neutrino Masses in the Supersymmetric Standard Model with Right-Handed Neutrinos and Spontaneous R-Parity Violation [PDF]
Ryuichiro Kitano,Kin-ya Oda
Abstract: We propose an extension of the supersymmetric standard model with right-handed neutrinos and a singlet Higgs field, and study the neutrino masses in this model. The Majorana masses for the right-handed neutrinos are generated around the supersymmetry breaking scale through the vacuum expectation value of the singlet Higgs field. This model may induce spontaneous R-parity violation via the vacuum expectation value of the right-handed sneutrino. In the case, the effective theory is similar to a bilinear R-parity violating model. There are two sources for the neutrino masses: one is this bilinear R-parity breaking effect, and the other is the ordinary seesaw effect between left- and right-handed neutrinos. Combining these two effects, the hierarchical neutrino mass pattern arises even when the neutrino Yukawa matrices are not hierarchical. We acquire appropriate masses and mixings to explain both the solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations.
CP Violation, Sneutrino Oscillation and Neutrino Masses in R-parity Violating Supersymmetric Standard Model [PDF]
Eung Jin Chun
Physics , 2001, DOI: 10.1016/S0370-2693(01)01436-8
Abstract: In supersymmetric theories, sneutrino--anti-sneutrino mixing can occur with the oscillation time $\sim 0.01$ ps corresponding the atmospheric neutrino mass scale $\sim 0.05$ eV. We explore the possibility of observing sneutrino oscillation phenomena and CP violation when R-parity violation explains the observed neutrino masses and mixing. It is shown for some parameter region in the bilinear model of R-parity violation that the tiny sneutrino mass splitting and time-dependent CP violating asymmetries could be measured in the future experiments if the tau sneutrino is the lightest supersymmetric particle.
The Generic Supersymmetric Standard Model as the Complete Theory of Supersymmetry without R-parity [PDF]
Otto C. W. Kong
Abstract: The generic supersymmetric standard model is a model built from a supersymmetrized standard model field spectrum the gauge symmetries only. The popular minimal supersymmetric standard model differs from the generic version in having R-parity imposed by hand. We review an efficient formulation of the model in which all the admissible R-parity violating terms are incorporated without bias. The model gives many new interesting R-parity violating phenomenological features only started to be studied recently. Some of our recent results will be discussed, including newly identified 1-loop contributions to neutrino masses and electric dipole moments of neutron and electron. This is related to the largely overlooked R-parity violating contributions to squark and slepton mixings, which we also present in detail.
Pathways to Naturally Small Neutrino Masses [PDF]
Ernest Ma
Physics , 1998, DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.81.1171
Abstract: In the minimal standard electroweak gauge model, there is an effective dimension-five operator which generates neutrino masses, and it has only three tree-level realizations. One is the canonical seesaw mechanism with a right-handed neutrino. Another is having a heavy Higgs triplet as recently proposed. The third is to have a heavy Majorana fermion triplet, an example of which is presented here in the context of supersymmetric SU(5) grand unification. The three generic one-loop realizations of this operator are also discussed.
Lepton-Flavor Violation in the Supersymmetric Standard Model with Seesaw-Induced Neutrino Masses [PDF]
J. Hisano,T. Moroi,K. Tobe,M. Yamaguchi,T. Yanagida
Physics , 1995, DOI: 10.1016/0370-2693(95)00954-J
Abstract: We examine the lepton-flavor violation caused by a Yukawa coupling matrix $y_{\nu,ij}$ for right-handed neutrinos in the supersymmetric standard model. We stress that decay rates for $\tau\rightarrow\mu\gamma$ and $\mu\rightarrow e\gamma$ may reach the range to be accessible to near future experiments if left-right mixing terms in the slepton mass matrix are substantially large.
Neutrino masses and sneutrino mixing in R-parity violating supersymmetry [PDF]
Yuval Grossman,Howard E. Haber
Abstract: R-parity-violating supersymmetry with a conserved baryon number B provides a framework for particle physics with lepton number (L) violating interactions. Two important probes of the L-violating physics are neutrino masses and sneutrino-antisneutrino mass-splittings. We evaluate these quantities in the context of the most general CP-conserving, R-parity-violating B-conserving extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. In generic three-generation models, three sneutrino-antisneutrino mass splittings are generated at tree-level. In contrast, only one neutrino mass is generated at tree-level; the other two neutrinos acquire masses at one-loop. In many models, the dominant contribution to the radiative neutrino masses is induced by the non-zero sneutrino-antisneutrino mass splitting.


because someone asked, and asked nicely.
i'm an odd sports fan. not being adept at anything athletic, i have i general disinterest in most things involving sports. i am only vaguely aware of the world of tennis, have a general disdain for the NBA, and cannot care less about football. but i am rabid about certain things: the barangay ginebra kings and their exploits in the PBA, the UP fighting maroons despite their luckless campaign in the UAAP, and any competition involving flag and country. i get thrilled reading about wesley so's conquests of higher-rated GMs, and get visibly affected by the loss of cecil mamiit and the RP team in the davis cup. but while the world pauses to watch manny pacquiao fight, i go about my life like nothing important is taking place: i ignore it completely.
currently though, i haven't had much reason to be either thrilled or affected. the barangay ginebra kings has bowed out of the fiesta cup after that heart-breaking loss to alaska, and despite my wishes of good luck to willie miller a day before the important game five. and the UP fighting maroons men's basketball team is in the cellar in the rankings, yielding a season-turning game against the other doormat, the UE red warriors. i am not affected because i've nearly given up: at least on the MBT. wesley also recently lost a promising start in an international chess tournament, and the asian games isn't until a few months from now.
nevertheless, sports figured prominently in my affairs recently, and it began with my first live PBA game, courtesy of my friend donna. she gave me a ticket and of course, i was obliged to cheer for her team, air21, in a game that they lost to eventual fiesta cup finalist alaska. it was held at the cuneta astrodome, an ugly box along roxas boulevard, which seems all ripe for a renovation. the coliseum was not filled to the rafters despite its small size. fans were scattered on the bleachers, and i could tell many of them had gotten in for free. nevertheless, watching a PBA game live is something every serious sports fan should do. it's riveting in every imaginable way. the basketball players appear to be bigger than they actually are, and the court, smaller than it does on television. it's almost as if they don't have enough room to run around.
the fans are also amusing to observe. i heard that some of them are regularly invited to watch the game, brandish banners and signs, and badmouth the players of the opposing team. that it gets personal between fans at odds is almost hilarious. and when you're there, you really do get carried away with a bad call, or a foul that isn't called, or a bad play. it's actually pretty exciting. i can't wait to see my next live game. hopefully it's ginebra, and i'm on ringside.
and although i don't know much about football and despite my geeky inclinations, had no time to either study the teams and memorize the names of the players, i did see 3 games during the world cup: the quarterfinal match between argentina and germany, the semi-final that pitted the netherlands against uruguay, and the finals match of first time finalist spain and twice-runner-up the netherlands (i am geeky enough to actually look it up). like i previously mentioned, i have not developed a loyalty to a certain team. my support for portugal 4 years ago was pretty random, and this year, my decision to cheer for spain was equally whimsical, but is based on empirical reasons: i speak a smattering of spanish, some of my favorite colleagues at work are from spain, and they were ranked number 1 for over a year going into the tournament. and i'm glad i chose spain.
i watched the finals game at heckle and jeckle in polaris street, near makati's infamous red light district of p. burgos. why i decided to go there is lost on me when 20 other places in the same area had live screenings of the game, considering it is dutch territory: the bar is owned by a dutchman. however, handle bar was probably packed that morning (i heard they had to turn back some people), and other places were too sedated. so i walked into enemy territory with my red shirt and my little flags of spain. surprisingly, there were other red shirted fans there too, although we were visibly outnumbered. we were a small pool of red in a sea of orange. the crowd was visibly hostile, particularly against us, in the friendliest of ways (if it is possible to be hostile and still friendly). i didn't know anyone there with the exception of mark from couchsurfing, but i had a grand time with complete strangers. and that's what the world cup does to people: you momentarily bond based on a shared love for a team, and you rejoice and celebrate when your team wins, or comfort and commiserate with each other when your club loses.
i don't have to retell how the game went, but we were deliriously happy that our side won. the celebration spilled out of the bar and into the street. if the philippines were any more football crazy, there would have been a party and dancing on the street! but it was already late when the game ended. the sun was already about to rise when i decided to walk home from heckle and jeckle. i had given my flags to complete strangers who eventually added me on facebook because they were tagged on the pictures i posted.
so here's to sports. if i can't myself do it, i might as well enjoy watching it.

Cristiano Ronaldo deserves to appear against MU
UEFA finally officially reduced the suspension of the match obtained by the Portuguese mega star, Cristiano Ronaldo, where with the reduction the player only missed the match against Young Boys and could appear when Juventus travel to Old Trafford. Related to this, Manager Max Allegri confirmed that Ronaldo was indeed very worthy of facing his former club.
As is known, Cristiano Ronaldo was indeed worried about being absent in 3 phase matches of the European Champions League group this season, if he looked at UEFA regulations. This 33-year-old player found a red card directly from the referee in the first match against Valencia on the group's 1st matchdays of the group.
The red card was given by the court because Ronaldo was deemed to have committed acts of violence against Jeison Murrillo, in a situation without a fight over the ball in the Valencia penalty box. But in a replay, there was no act of violence committed by the former Real Madrid star, he only asked Murillo to wake up to finish his diving action.
No wonder many parties considered that the referee had made the wrong decision by giving Ronaldo a red card. UEFA finally granted the wave of protest, and reduced Ronaldo's match suspension sanction to one match. That means he just missed the match against Young Boyz in Week 2, and can appear against the former club, Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Associated with the reduction of these sanctions, team's coach, Massimilliano Allegri confirmed that Ronaldo was indeed very worthy to appear in the match against Manchester United.
"I am happy, that he will play against Manchester United, he works well, even in the match against Bologna he has a good match. It's true he plays for the team, just like the team plays for him. Then, we have to improve on a number of things, we have to serve it better, but we are together lately, we all have time to develop," said Allegri at a press conference ahead of Napoli on Saturday.

The MFK-700 is nice for light routing jobs, like rounding over or chamfering the edges of a project, or flush trimming edging/nosing/banding. The dust collection on it is pretty stellar so I like it for these reasons.
Here was my quick experiment and ultimate solution.
If you use the guide stop with the OF-1400 (the blocks that let you attach the router to the guide rail), you can either use the guide rods of the OF-1400 or the MFK-700 (they are optional and come with the edge guide accessory). Either way, you can use the rods to attach the MFK-700 to the guide stop. The caveat is that the hole spacing on the guide stop is a bit narrower than that of the MFK-700's edge guide. However, if you put the rods in with all the screws loose (on guide stop and router), you can then tighten them up. No need to crank on the screws, just snug enough to keep things from moving.
Another thing that worked was to use just one rod; once tightened up, it was pretty solid. I used two rods on the platen.
You'll want to put the MFK-700 half on the guide rail just like you would with the OF-1400. So what's the "foot" replacement to better balance the router on the other side?
The thickness of the guide rail is nominally 5mm. So I used some double-stick tape to pop a pair of 5mm Dominos on the bottom. Worked great if a little hokey. Note that I oriented the Dominos so the rounded edges would prevent them from catching.
I wanted a more 'elegant' solution so I put a Domino on the bandsaw to set the blade distance and ran a piece of scrap through.
I then drilled a hole through the 'skate' and mortised a recess for the head of a T-bolt. I used a 5/16" T-bolt as that's what my jig hardware kit is. I'm sure this would work with normal 1/4" T-bolts. The recess doesn't have to be really exact: you just want to prevent the T from spinning.
Also remember to round the edges of this skate since you don't want it to catch.
There's a hole there in the vertical MFK-700 base... I didn't drill a new one :) Just push the T-bolt through and put a nut on the other end. To make it easier to attach and remove, I just used a T-nut from the jig kit since there isn't much clearance, but it's now very quick to pop the skate on and off.
A benefit of making the skate longer than the base is wide is that when I pushed the router off the end of the stock, the skate and guide stop balanced the router.
I'll be using it more on the rail now!
I made the guide rail adapter that Jerry Work had suggested several years ago. His site is now down, but it worked pretty well.
I ended up buying the MicroFence with the rail adapter for the 1010 and for the MFK-700. They work well.

'Submarines' small enough to deliver medicine inside human body
Lachlan Gilbert
UNSW engineers have shown that micro-submarines powered by nano-motors could navigate the human body to provide targeted drug delivery to diseased organs without the need for external stimulus.

Cancers in the human body may one day be treated by tiny, self-propelled 'micro-submarines' delivering medicine to affected organs after UNSW Sydney chemical and biomedical engineers proved it was possible.
In a paper published in Materials Today, the engineers explain how they developed micrometre-sized submarines that exploit biological environments to tune their buoyancy, enabling them to carry drugs to specific locations in the body.
Corresponding author Dr Kang Liang, with both the School of Biomedical Engineering and School of Chemical Engineering at UNSW, says the knowledge can be used to design next generation 'micro-motors' or nano-drug delivery vehicles, by applying novel driving forces to reach specific targets in the body.
"We already know that micro-motors use different external driving forces – such as light, heat or magnetic field – to actively navigate to a specific location," Dr Liang says.
"In this research, we designed micro-motors that no longer rely on external manipulation to navigate to a specific location. Instead, they take advantage of variations in biological environments to automatically navigate themselves."
What makes these micro-sized particles unique is that they respond to changes in biological pH environments to self-adjust their buoyancy. In the same way that submarines use oxygen or water to flood ballast points to make them more or less buoyant, gas bubbles released or retained by the micro-motors due to the pH conditions in human cells contribute to these nanoparticles moving up or down.
This is significant not just for medical applications, but for micro-motors generally.
"Most micro-motors travel in a 2-dimensional fashion," Dr Liang says.
"But in this work, we designed a vertical direction mechanism. We combined these two concepts to come up with a design of autonomous micro-motors that move in a 3D fashion. This will enable their ultimate use as smart drug delivery vehicles in the future."
Dr Liang illustrates a possible scenario where drugs are taken orally to treat a cancer in the stomach or intestines. To give an idea of scale, he says each capsule of medicine could contain millions of micro-submarines, and within each micro-submarine would be millions of drug molecules.
"Imagine you swallow a capsule to target a cancer in the gastrointestinal tract," he says.
"Once in the gastrointestinal fluid, the micro-submarines carrying the medicine could be released. Within the fluid, they could travel to the upper or bottom region depending on the orientation of the patient.
"The drug-loaded particles can then be internalised by the cells at the site of the cancer. Once inside the cells, they will be degraded causing the release of the drugs to fight the cancer in a very targeted and efficient way."
For the micro-submarines to find their target, a patient would need to be oriented in such a way that the cancer or ailment being treated is either up or down – in other words, a patient would be either upright or lying down.
Dr Liang says the so-called micro-submarines are essentially composite metal-organic frameworks (MOF)-based micro-motor systems containing a bioactive enzyme (catalase, CAT) as the engine for gas bubble generation. He stresses that he and his colleagues' research is at the proof-of-concept stage, with years of testing needing to be completed before this could become a reality.
Dr Liang says the research team – comprised of engineers from UNSW, University of Queensland, Stanford University and University of Cambridge – will be also looking outside of medical applications for these new multi-directional nano-motors.
"We are planning to apply this new finding to other types of nanoparticles to prove the versatility of this technique," he says.

A palm tree to charge your mobile phone
Not quite the palm trees in this picture, but almost. Smart Palms are 6-foot high artificial palm tree that you can charge your mobile phone or device. The Smart Palm Company have designed these hotspots in the form of Palm trees to convey the important cultural identity of the date palm from being a plant that provided shelter, building materials, shade, and sustenance. They are state of the art, 6-foot high artificial palm trees with a total leaf span of 18 square meters. Not only do they provide shelter from the tropical sun, but they also store the energy from the sun, and share their energy after sundown.
The leaves are equipped with matrices of photovoltaic modules that absorb the sunlight. The energy can be used to charge any device and according to the company, it will charge your phone 2 and a half times faster than your home charger.
The palms are a combination of fiber-reinforced plastic and concrete and are able to withstand Dubai's tropical desert climate. The Smart Palms are also equipped to provide free Wi-Fi access to any device within a range of 100 meters. The palms are fitted with a screen that provides information about Dubai, weather forecasts, news and can be used for public messages, government notices and advertisements.
Understandably, they are also fitted with security cameras. Seating areas are available next to each palm for resting and relaxation during the battery-recharging process, as well as for internet browsing via the Wi-Fi access
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority announced it was increasing its use of renewable energy mix from 5 to 15 percent by 2030. These Smart Palms are one of many projects planned by the Dubai Government to reduce its carbon footprint. Smart Palms have announced that they will install these Solar Palms in 103 locations around Dubai. For now, the company has set up two – one on Surf Beach and another in a park near the waterfront.
Smart Palm a green self-sustainable device recharge station in Dubai
More of the palms are expected to be installed at Al Mamzar Park, Dubai Creek Park, and Al Barsha Pond Park. The cost of using the Palms has not been decided yet, but hopefully, they will not be too expensive. Perfect for the night owls, these Palm Trees take sustainable energy sources to a whole new level.

When an order is created, the order external reference id and its payments reference id is automatically created by Litium.
The Order object may have multiple payments, each with its own reference id. The ExternalOrderID in the Order object and the ReferenceID in the PaymentInfo object are both unique strings in human readable format.
The ExternalOrderID has the format LSXXXXXX (for example LS1000071) while the corresponding PaymentInfo ReferenceID has the format LSXXXXXXPX (for example LS1000071P1).
Create a class library project in Visual studio and reference the Litium.Studio.dll and Litium.Foundation.dll assemblies.
The following code is a sample implementation where the external order id of the order is used as the PaymentInfo ReferenceID. Note that this assumes that you will only have one PaymentInfo object connected to a given order, because the PaymentInfo ReferenceID must be unique.
/// Creates the specified index.
/// Reference id that the payment info should use.

Everlast is Producing Exclusive Street Fighter Fragrances
Posted by Gavin Sheehan October 15, 2018 Comment
Have you ever been playing Street Fighter and thought to yourself "I'd like to smell like Sagot?" Everlast thinks you do as they're releasing new fragrances. These are some exclusive sprays that are essentially cologne with the Street Fighter branding on the side, presenting in boxing gloves made to look like they're from the game. We have descriptions of them below as they'll go on pre-sale today for about $130 out of their Portugal distributor.
credit//Everlast
The idea behind the partnership is to play with the characteristics of the game, as the variants of the perfume refer to two combats between characters of "good" and "evil". Everlast's famous gloves bring the characters Ryu, Ken, Sagat and Balrog as protagonists, who will be challenged by Chun-Li and Cammy. Each product's name refers to the series of commands done at the joystick to perform Ryu and Ken's special moves in the game (Hadouken and Shoryuken), and will be split into two important fights.
The Hadouken perfume comes in red, and will be represented by the fight between Ryu (Japan) and Sagat (Thailand). In this fight, the winner will be challenged by Chun-Li, a female character who represents China. The Shoryuken fragrance, in steel-grey color, brings the confrontation between Americans Ken and Balrog. The winner from this dispute will be challenged by Cammy. The Brazilian touch can be seen in the seal of authenticity, represented with Blanka, a Brazilian character.
"We are thrilled to bring this game story to the fragrances. The Street Fighter franchise has a rich content that reaches a very diverse audience, which gives us the confidence that it will have a great acceptance both by the geek public and by the perfumery lovers", comments Olindo Junior, Marketing Director for RR Perfumes and Água de Cheiro.

The Rumours About Nelson Mandela's Death are Just THAT
The African National Congress (ANC) has called on South Africans to remain calm, following former president Nelson Mandela's admission to Milpark Hospital for routine tests. In a statement the ruling party also called on the media to stop speculating about Mandela's health and allow the family privacy. "We appeal, particularly to the media fraternity to refrain from making unfounded and unwarranted speculation in relation to Madiba's health," spokesperson Jackson Mthembu said in a statement. Madiba, 92, was admitted into the Johannesburg hospital on Wednesday afternoon for what his …

Get Well Madiba
"Dear Madiba – please get well" – this is one of the messages written on placards at Milpark Hospital where former President Nelson Mandela spent the night for a routine check up. Children from the McAuley House Catholic Independent Day School spent their morning drawing up the placards and hanging them up outside the school which is located near the hospital. Reitumetse Sekoapi, an 11-year-old Grade 6 pupil, told BuaNews: "He is a very good leader and we thank him for bringing justice to our country. We want him to get well." Grade 4 teacher at the school, Diedre Axford, said that by …

The Night That Aaron Broke my Virginity

The DUH Moment of the Year
The National Press Club has called on government to appoint a fully-fledged commission of enquiry to investigate the SABC as a matter of urgency. This follows a scalding South Gauteng High Court judgment on Monday, in which former SABC Head of News, Snuki Zikalala, had been accused of manipulating coverage with a political motive and of effective pre-censorship. The ruling found that the embattled public broadcaster violated its license conditions through Zikalala's acts and was also guilty of "a dishonest attempt to cover up the situation." The judgment also accuses Zikalala of …

When Will Politicians Stop Crisis Management?
With less than four months before the local government elections, South Africans could soon welcome two new breakaway political parties. While embattled former Inkatha Freedom Party chairman Zanele Magwaza–Msibi has already announced the formation of her break away party, the Congress of the People (COPE) on the other hand could not deny nor confirm reports on Wednesday of an imminent split in the party. COPE's split has been rumoured for weeks since its deputy president Mbhazima Shilowa declared himself the party's president following a controversial conference in Centurion last …

Why I am Happy to Live in a 'Third World' Country
One finds that as democracies age disgracefully into First World status, the number of shock, gasp, moral decrepitude stories increase exponentially. Take the UK's welfare state as an example - I know guys in the UK living off of welfare, getting a new car every two years (from the state mind you) AND running an 'entirely illegal home business' that supplements their income no end. These oxygen thieves have no compunction about boasting about how they rip the UK government off either! And now along comes a serial abuser of the Welfare System who has proudly announced to the World that he …

Discussion in 'Earlier Versions of Windows' started by 24giovanni, Feb 14, 2005.
I have 2 computers that use DSL prodided by verizon. One machine is a win98 SE OS and the other is a win 2000 server OS. On the 98 machine my download speed is 478 kilo per second and the other machine is 528 kilo per second. Is that about right or should I be getting better results?
For a long time, the download speed for Verizon DSL was 768 kbps. I believe it's now 1500 kbps or 3000 kbps. It may depend on what part of the country you're in. I'd give them a call and find out. 478 - 528 kbps sounds too slow to me.
Using CABLENUT 4.08 with the correct settings and doing some registry tweaks may likely improve the speed.


How can I calculate the difference between two datetimes in KReporter?
Am I heading in the wrong direction?
(2) the formula is evaluated in php after the selection. The probelm you need to resolve there is that the database returns a date as string and thus theat needs to be cast into objects to get the diffreence.
In general it is easiest if you can do the math in the SQL Statement using ths custom function .
is a good documnet to help you understand how that concept works.


Every year at Christmas, I have an internal discussion as to whether I will trim our tree as I did the year before or will I deviate. I do not really have that flexibilty. My daughters hold the keys to tradition in our home. As it has been so shall it remain!
Where there is room for movement, is which tree I decorate. I know – how many trees does she have? I have two trees. Both are ten feet high, but one is twice as wide as the other. The bigger of the two is the girls favorite. The smaller of the two is pre-lit. This year I chose the smaller tree.
I use my double parlour as a dining/living room. This tree makes a lovely division between the two rooms. It also allows me to decorate the whole tree rather than the normal three sided trim when one side is against the wall. Trimming an entire tree presents the challenge of three dimensional design. I love it!
Unfortunaltely, after I lugged my ten foot pre-lit monster from the basement, I discovered a quarter of the lights no longer work. Deep breathe – I added lights – problem solved.
A good rule-of-thumb is allowing 100 lights per foot of tree. I like a lot of sparkle so I have 1200 lights on my ten footer.
Next, I apply the garland. This year I am using red and gold sinamay. The girls love it. It takes very little effort, as long as you let it curve and wind naturally. Too much manipulation will cause the ribbon to look stiff and boring.
The livingroom end has a large mantle and french doors – perfect for making our home look like a Christmas card!
Today, I will add the last layer to this part of the room.
