According to legend, on the remote island nation of Papua New Guinea (PNG), the Asaro tribe of the Eastern Highlands were once defeated in battle by a fierce enemy tribe. Forced to flee for their lives into the Asaro River, the tribe waited until it was safe to return to their native homes. At dusk, they slowly rose from the muddy river banks and returned to see what was left of their village. The enemy, seeing them rise from the river covered in dried clay, believed them to be evil spirits, and they fled in fear of their ghost-like appearances.
Realizing this new power, the elders of the Asaro tribe cunningly decided to create a new battle dress code: warriors were to cover themselves from head to toe in dried clay from the Asaro river and create elaborate masks with scary features, using pigs teeth and tusks to accentuate ghoulish features. The tribe would don this elaborate costume to raid neighboring villages by slowly moving into enemy territory in the misty, early morning light, walking down from the mountain like evil spirits. Not surprisingly, villagers were easily frightened away by the Asaro's specter-like movements and appearances, allowing for an easy victory.
Because of their famous battle costumers, the tribe soon came to be known as the "Mudmen," a name that tribal members still claim proudly to this day (though they no longer use their costumes to scare and raid neighboring villages!). One such man is Espional.

The gunman in the mass shooting at a bar in Thousand Oaks, CA, entered the building and opened fire, tossed multiple smoke grenades to sow chaos and then sat in wait to ambush responding law enforcement officers, officials said on Tuesday.
The gunman fired a total of more than 50 rounds in the shooting at Borderline Bar & Grill on the evening of Nov. 7, Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub said. Eleven people were killed in the bar, KTLA reports.
After the initial shooting, the gunman positioned himself in anticipation of the police response, Ayub said. When officers entered, he ambushed them immediately from a position of tactical advantage, mortally wounding Ventura County Sgt. Ron Helus. The officers returned fire but did not strike him, and then retreated from the scene and waited for SWAT, Ayub said.


To the relief of the winter-weary, the world's most famous groundhog is predicting an early spring.
Punxsutawney Phil emerged around dawn on Groundhog Day on Wednesday to make his 125th annual weather forecast in front of thousands who braved muddy, icy conditions to hear his handlers reveal that Pennsylvania's prophetic rodent had not seen his shadow.
Phil's handlers, the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle, concoct the forecasts. Several thousand revelers gathered in the pre-dawn hours on a small hill called Gobbler's Knob to hear the prediction. Before Wednesday, Phil had seen his shadow 98 times and hadn't seen it 15 times since 1887.


21/03/2010�� There's a girl at my work that I'm interested in, and I can tell that she is at least a little interested in me. We've hung out outside of work maybe once, and we have plans to go to the aquarium in a couple weeks. how to delete mail out of mac book storage 4/09/2009�� Update: I've known this girl for a little less than a year now and we talk and hang out just about every second we can. She writes me multiple notes a day and we've been best friends for a while.
I'm great at this, just be chill. Say to her, "Lets go hang out at ___, I'm paying so just come and chill!". You're basically asking her on a date without being awkward and asking to go on a date.
9/12/2015�� I would like to ask her out for some coffee or something like that, but I don't know how. I'm an engineer major and since, yes, the stereotype is true, engineers are not very good at asking girls out; I don't know how to do it without looking and sounding so awkward.

Q: Second Law of Thermodynamics....confusion over an example By the second law of thermodynamics, you shouldn't be able to use any amount of mirrors/lenses to focus sunlight onto an object and heat it past the surface temperature of the sun (approximately 5800K).
In principle this makes sense to me, but I'm more concerned with the mathematics behind this. Whenever I stop to think about energy, things seem to break down in my mind. I just can't get past the fact that the more rays of light your focus (ie, the more photons), the more energy that would be passing into your system. If you increase the energy of your system, is seems like the average energy of the molecules in your system will continue to increase.
Can anybody show me a mathematical counterexample? I guess I just don't understand all of the equations that necessarily go into this calculation, because I keep getting that the energy of your system increases with each photon that passes into your system. Thanks!
If you believe my statement is incorrect, please look at problem 91 here and explain why I'm incorrect and how the answer is E http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/undergrad/greStuff/exam_GR9677.pdf

A: The picture in the GRE problem is misleading (probably deliberately) as it shows all rays coming out of the oven as being parallel.  Light coming from a thermal source will be distributed in direction as well as frequency, so only a fraction gets focused at the desired spot.  There is something in optics called the "etendue" (look it up) which describes how light is distributed in angle as well as in space.  The fact that the etendue is conserved in optics (basically Louiville's theorem, conservation of volume in phase space) means that a passive optical system cannot increase the temperature of light.  So E is the correct answer.
Let me explain further, since I know this will be controversial.  When you go outdoors you are exposed to a 5000 degree thermal radiation source, however that source is limited in solid angle (the solid angle subtended by the sun) which is why you are not burnt to a crisp.  If you set up a bunch of parabolic mirrors or lenses or whatever, you can increase the solid angle subtended, but only up to a point.  There are only 4 pi sterradians available.  If you manage 4 pi sterradians then you have the full 5000 degree thermal distribution, but you can't go beyond that.
What the etendue tells us is that if we want to squeeze the radiation in space (focusing) we spread it out in angle.  It is the distribution in both space and angle which characterizes the thermal distribution, not simply the intensity.

With the assumptions and conditions for the stress test pulled straight out of CEBS' collective bottom, it is no surprise that a mere 7 banks for a total $246 billion in affected assets end up being defined as undercapitalized. But what happens when instead of using a 6% Tier 1 capital threshold, a Basel III 8% Tier 1 is used? Something log scale worse. As Austrian Der Standart journalist Lukas Sustala points out, and as demonstrated on his chart below, the failure rate goes up exponentially: instead of 7 banks failing, 39 of Europe's biggest banks would be undercapitalized, and the impaired assets would amount to a whopping E2.6 trillion, requiring at least E30 billion in incremental equity capital, on top of the hundreds of billions already infused by European governments. In Lukas' words: "The stress tests were a farce (taking no account of counterparty risk or a sovereign default), but at least they provide some good data points (I currently look into all the sovereign holdings of the individual banks, so there is more to come). 39 banks fail the 8% criteria."
And for those who just can't get enough of peeking at the imaginary numbers behind the farce theater's curtain, here is Goldman's most recent essay in which they attempt to validate why they were so blatantly wrong (i.e., pessimistic) on the Stress Test's outcome last week.
See link for the Giant Squid report.
European banks who only just scraped through a health check could look for over 25 billion euros (20.9 billion pounds) in new capital, while Spain's smaller lenders set out to reassure investors on Monday that they too can raise funds.
Of the 91 banks tested, seven failed, including five from Spain, and another 17 barely passed the EU tests which have been widely criticised as not demanding enough.
The tests were aimed partly at opening the door to funding markets for a batch of southern European banks and lowering costs for other lenders, and analysts said it would make sense for banks to seek to raise the capital they would have needed had the test criteria been tougher.
"Those that are at the margin may as well raise equity to dampen down fears ... The sums of money involved are really relatively small," said Ian Henderson, who runs a global financials fund for JP Morgan.
"We can navel gaze until we're blue in the face about this (stress test process). Most people are going to be absolutely fine."
Results announced on Friday showed the seven that failed need to raise just 3.5 billion euros ($4.5 billion), far less than expected.
More money to be sucked out of the global economy?

This book was even better than the first. There was so much going on between these two characters my mind was spinning. Andrea was back home from her trip where she first met Yushka and he is planning to come and see her for the weekend. They live over 400 miles apart and find many obstacles in their path to overcome.
This book was filled with jealousy, old hurts, family dynamics, secrets, but also filled with love. Andrea was desperately trying to navigate her "girlfriend" status after being without a man for over 18 years while raising her two boys. Yuska fell hard and fast for Andrea at the conference but he too was dealing with a few things from his past.
There were moments I wanted to shake Andrea but then remembered this whole relationship business was new to her and I needed to cut her some slack. Lea made me fall in love with this characters and I couldn't help but cheer them on throughout the book. Mine to Love absolutely leaves you wanting more and I look forward to reading her final installment in this series.
Since I absolutely loved this series so far, I'm giving away an amazon electronic gift copy of the first book, The Perfect Shoot. To be eligible to win, all you need to do is leave a comment on this blog post. Drawing will take place on Monday, October 31, 2015.

The NZXT C650 650W PSU Review: Designed To Last
by E. Fylladitakis on August 11, 2020 8:00 AM EST
80Plus Gold
Introduction, Examining Inside & Out Cold Test Results Hot Test Results Final Words & Conclusion
NZXT is a company that has come from fairly humble origins, starting things off back in 2004 with just a couple of PC cases. They have come a long way since then, slowly by surely expanding their ever-growing product portfolio. Nowadays, NZXT is one of the most prominent PC case, cooling, and power supply manufacturers, with a very strong global market presence.
We have reviewed several NZXT products in the past, yet very few of their PSUs ever found their way into our labs – in fact it's been nearly a decade since our last NZXT PSU review. That counter resets today, as we are taking a look at NZXT's latest upper-class PSU design, the C-series C650.
Among NZXT's PSU lineup, the C-series is very much the manufacturer's bread and butter for PSUs, with C-series PSUs making up the vast majority of its product lineup. At a high level, the C-series is designed for advanced PC users and enthusiasts alike, and with the rest of NZXT's lineup only going higher still, it's clear that the company is taking aim at a specific niche of the PSU market rather than going after a broad swath of the PSU market. Along these same lines, NZXT has also dialed in to the middle of the market in terms of capacity; with three C-series models ranging from 650 Watts to 850 Watts, the PSUs fall into a typical range for today's high-end single CPU/single GPU systems.
As for our review, today we'll be taking a look at the least powerful unit of the series the 650 Watt C650.
Power specifications ( Rated @ Unknown °C )
AC INPUT 100 - 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz
RAIL +3.3V +5V +12V +5Vsb -12V
MAX OUTPUT 20A 20A 54A 3A 0.3A
100W 648W 15W 3.6W
TOTAL 650W
We received the NZXT C650 PSU in a relatively simple cardboard box. The artwork on the box is simplistic, yet appealing, with just a beautifully taken picture of the unit decorating the front side of the box. Its thick cardboard walls and internal foam padding provide adequate shipping protection.
NZXT stuck to the basics when it comes to the C650, supplying only four mounting screws, some modular cables, and an AC power cable alongside the PSU. The modular cables do however come inside a simple purple bag, so they can be contained. Otherwise there are no cable straps, cable ties, or other accessories of any kind.
The NZXT C650 PSU is a fully modular design, meaning that no cables are hardwired to the chassis. All of the cables are made of all black wires and black connectors. The SATA and Molex cables are "flat" type cables, with exposed wires that are attached to each other, while the PCI Express, CPU, and 24-pin ATX cables have nylon sleeving covering the wires.
NZXT C650
Connector type Hardwired Modular
ATX 24 Pin - 1
EPS 4+4 Pin - 2
EPS 8 Pin - -
PCI-E 6+2 Pin - 4
PCI-E 8 Pin - -
SATA - 8
Molex - 6
Floppy - -
NZXT designed the C650 to be aesthetically subtle and functional. The chassis is entirely black, with the company logo and product name printed with dark reflective fonts on its two sides. A black sticker with the unit's electrical certifications and specifications can be found on the top side of the chassis. Other aesthetic improvements are limited to simple chassis upgrades, such as rounded edges and an integrated fan finger guard. Although the PSU is 150 mm deep – a little longer than what the ATX standard dictates (140 mm) – it is compatible with the vast majority of ATX-compliant cases available. Only very few proprietary case designs may cause compatibility problems.
At the rear side of the PSU, we can see the typical AC cable receptacle and on/off switch, as well as a toggle switch that controls the cooling fan mode. The C650 has two cooling modes – the basic mode, where the fan spins constantly and its speed is thermally controlled, and the hybrid mode, where the fan can stop spinning entirely when the load is low enough that active cooling isn't necessary. Some users are uncomfortable with zero active cooling or rely on the PSU's airflow for other reasons, therefore the option to disable the hybrid mode was a good idea.
Modular connectors cover most of the PSU's front surface. A basic legend is directly printed onto the chassis, along with a warning not to use cables from other manufacturers. The connectors are keyed, ensuring that it is not possible to insert the wrong cable into the wrong receptacle.
Internal Design
The NZXT C650 relies on a 120 mm fan for its cooling needs, which is the largest fan that could fit inside its chassis. It employs a simple black 120 mm fan that is made by Hong Hua, a known but not very popular manufacturer. In fact, these fans aren't even used by very many OEMs, instantly hinting at the OEM behind the creation of the C650. The HA1225H12F-Z has a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) engine and can be annoyingly loud at its maximum speed of 2200 RPM, though we expect it to almost never reach those speeds under normal operating conditions.
A trained eye will easily identify the OEM behind the NZXT C650 to be Seasonic, as it is based on a popular and highly decorated platform. NZXT did tweak the core platform a little to ensure compatibility with last-gen GPUs, but most of the reference design remains untouched. The heatsinks are relatively small and simplistic, suggesting (before testing) that the platform is either highly efficient or very loud.
The filtering stage begins on a small PCB at the back of the AC cable receptacle and continues on the main PCB. It is a reference design that consists of four Y capacitors, two X capacitors, two filtering inductors, and a surge-suppressing MOV. There are two bridge rectifiers sharing a single heatsink, which is uncommon for a unit with such a modest power output. The primary APFC capacitor is a 400V/470μF electrolytic capacitor made by Hitachi and is supported by a sizable coil.
Moving on to the primary inversion stage, we can see four transistors forming a typical full-bridge topology. Very few manufacturers opt for a full bridge design due to its cost, even with platforms designed for top-tier PSUs, yet it is more reliable and efficient than equivalent half-bridge topologies. They are mounted on small heatsinks in pairs, hinting the very high efficiency of both the topology and the transistors themselves.
The secondary side conversion stage is also simplistic, with just a couple of MOSFETs generating a single 12V line. The rest of the voltage lines are being generated by DC to DC converters that are mounted on a secondary daughterboard. All of the secondary capacitors, electrolytic and polymer alike, are supplied by Nippon Chemi-Con and Rubycon, making the C650 an all-Japanese affair.

It would be interesting and minimal effort on your part to post a PSD (power spectral density) plot. You can use the ~$300 Red Pitaya (STEMLAB) as a spectrum analyzer (DC-60MHz+). This is useful additional information for those concerned about switching noise.

Perhaps PSD measurements would be academically interesting but do not affect anything that would actually concern the end-user of a PSU, with maybe the exception of identifying excessive phase noise that would be easily identifiable in the time domain and I would see it anyway. It also is excessively difficult to take a proper PSD measurement off a device with a switching power circuit, especially of non-discrete signals, and would mean nothing in the end because it would be impossible to identify what is actually causing any given noise. The only stage that taking PSD measurements of a PSU is during its development stage, to test for EMC compliance and to empirically tweak the platform (if necessary). Other than that, PSD is very useful in communications but not in power electronics. Reply

well that would only be viable in a closed air conditioned environment, which makes the point moot. For a computer in a POS setting in a market, outdoor signage, etc you need that active cooling in an already hot environment Reply

Idk if it's your radiators that go bad, but I'd run a tower cooler since the fins are easy to clean. Go with the bigger coolers on your graphics card. The rest of it is dusting when needed. It's not as bad here in California, but we get those 100c days, but my Noctua cooler, and triple fan GPU handle it fine. Reply

100C days? Man, global warming is worse than I thought! :-D
We're getting 34C here and it's bad enough; but we lack A/C in UKia. Reply

I used to live in San Diego and the salt in the air (I was a block from the ocean) would corrode the inside of PC's like acid. The solution was to go passive cooled on the secondary components and liquid cooled on the primary. I still had a fan inside the otherwise sealed case to distribute air and help the water blocks absorb ambient heat, and the case was always very warm (around 110F-120F under load, down to 80F at idle at a 70-75F ambient)
The radiator 'tower' was external to the entire case, and since it was all aluminum and the fan bearings were sealed, never had a problem.
All of this was NOT cheap but it was cheaper than replacing every piece of steel or soldered component inside the case every few years. Reply

Shenyang is the largest of the cities in northeast China with a population of more than 7 million. As the capital of the Liaoning province, Shenyang has many tourist attractions flocked between its somewhat characterless streets though most of which are not nearly as entertaining as you would like to believe. However just a short hours flight from the major metropolitan city of Beijing, it can be a great escape from the bright lights of the mega metropolitan cities.
The Imperial Palace was built in 1625 to imitate the famous Forbidden City. It is almost as large as the original and Shenyang's most prized historical sight featuring 300 rooms.
The North Tomb is one of China's largest and well preserved mausoleums housing Abahai's tomb. The East Tomb found on Mt Tianzhu rising three stories high has an astonishing 108 steps presented before its entry. These 108 steps are significant to both the Chinese and to Buddhists as they not only represent the 72 stars of hell and 36 stars of heaven, they also reflect the 108 beads upon the rosaries of the Buddhists.
The Mukden Palace used to be the Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty until it was transformed into a Palace Museum in 1955. It has since been made a UNESCO site. Make sure you spot the Dazheng Hall, the oldest building in the complex.
The Qipan Mountain makes up Shenyan's largest scenic area with beautiful flora and fauna. The Fairy Cave at the foot of the mountain is an additional attraction. From an eroded limestone cave to its current use as an adventure cave, it is well worth visiting when you are sightseeing the mountain.
In southeast Shenyan is the world's largest meteorite and also the oldest. The meteor fell around 1.9million years ago to planet Earth and stands at 160m in length weighing approximately 2million tonnes.
To visit these Shenyang attractions you should keep in mind the climate. Shenyang's summer is at its peak in July and August, pushing up to the thirties, while winter is at its coldest in January and February. Although peak season for most cities is summer and its surrounding months, Shenyang is interestingly a more popular place in the winter with the International Ice and Snow Festival celebrated just outside the city and a great place to go to enjoy the cold climate.

I'm no entomologist, so this is beyond me, but every time the temperature in the hangar gets up to 60°F wasps start falling from the ceiling about 15' from the shop in the center (right next to my plane) I haven't seen them fall but I'm assuming that's what is happening because you see these wasps that appear drunk just stumbling around on the floor (obviously you proceed to step on them). I have not witnessed any of these critters progress to the flight stage. I'm not sure if that is due to my swift action or the temperature of the concrete debilitating them. While these wasps being limited to stumbling around on the floor is fortunate for us, I do find it ironic that wasps residing in an airplane hangar are such poor aviators. Perhaps they, have gotten their hands on some of that eggnog bill was passing around trying to convince us to drink during the hangar cleaning. . again not an entomologist. In sweeping the floor I have probably come across 20-30 of them.
Anyways, has this occurred before? It's bizarre. There is one very small nest in the shop on one of the beams. I came across a couple on the shop floor below that but I think it is depleted (that or the rest are teetotalers or maybe and / or are just a bit smarter). I haven't been able to locate the one in the hangar. I had hoped natural selection would eliminate this problem but the flow of drunk wasps on to the floor does not appear to be slowing down. I'm thinking we may want to locate the nest and try to get rid of it before warmer weather comes around and their drunken stupor progresses to a more violent state. If anybody can point out where the nest is, let me know and I'll use that lift to try and take it out.

You know in old sitcoms, when the husband comes home from work, frantic, because the boss and his wife are unexpectedly coming over for dinner? And the wife (unless she's Samantha Stevens) flips out, because how can she possibly plan and cook a dinner with no notice? Especially one that'll impress the boss and help her husband land that big promotion he's up for!
These hors d'oeuvres are worth keeping up your sleeve for just such an occasion.
The little bites use all store-bought ingredients (unless you want to make your own crème fraîche, which actually is incredibly easy) and can be assembled in seconds.
They sound impressive, they look delectable and they're a snap to throw together at the last minute. Your hubby's boss will be wowed!
There's just one little problem: They don't taste all that great.
Sometimes there's nothing more disappointing than seeing a recipe you really want to try, bookmarking it, finally making it after months of waiting for the right occasion, and then, well, not liking it very much. Such was the case with this recipe.
The problem here is that after assembling the appetizers and popping one in your mouth, they taste, well, like each of the components. Rather than feeling like a cohesive bite, they just taste like some chips, salmon and crème fraîche.
In the recipe's defense, there were a few things awry with our ingredients.
Our smoked salmon could have been better. We snagged it on a run to Trader Joe's the day prior. We love Trader Joe's, but when we opened the package, it was evident that we could have done better. It was, for certain, not as thin as we would have liked.
And we made our own crème fraîche, as we have done before, by mixing 2 tablespoons of buttermilk into 1 cup of cream and letting it set on our kitchen counter for 24 hours. After 24 hours, it was not as thick as we had hoped. On a recent episode of The Splendid Table, Lynn suggested that it sometimes takes up to 48 hours to set, so maybe we didn't leave it out long enough. We fixed the creme, however, by whipping it with a hand mixer to thicken it up. You make it lemony by stirring in zest, which was quite delicious.
AND we made our own potato chips. Just kidding. We bought the best quality black pepper chips we could find.
But all together? It was kind of a snooze. Our guests ate them, but no one raved. But then again, no one cried either. So like we said: disappointment.
We still think there's something here, though. The idea of using a potato chip as a base for an app is a fun one. Surely there's a way to top the chips that would make for a better appetizer, or something we can add to improve it.
So don't discount these appetizers. They may not cement your husband's promotion at the firm, but they're certainly not going to get him fired, either. And they'll buy you plenty of time to twitch your nose and whip up a fabulous three-course dinner -- or order some Chinese.
Stir crème fraîche and lemon peel in small bowl. Arrange potato chips on plate. Divide salmon among chips. Spoon rounded 1/2 teaspoon lemon crème fraîche atop salmon on each chip and sprinkle with chives.

Q: Is spacebar a character? Consider this line of text:

First line of text.

If a character array string is used to load the first TEN characters in the array it will output as:
First lin'\0'

First contains 5 letters, lin contains 3 letters. Where are the other two characters being used?
Is \0 considered two characters?
Or is the space between the words considered a character, thus '\0` is one character?

A: The space between the two words has ASCII code 0x20 (0408, or 3210); it occupies one byte.
The null at the end of the string, ASCII code 0x00 (0 in both octal and decimal) occupies the other byte.
Note that the space bar is simply the key on the keyboard that generates a space character when typed.

A: '\0' is the null-terminator, it is literally the value zero in all implementations.
'\0' is considered a single character because the backslash \ means to escape a character. '\0' and '0' thus are both single characters, but mean very different things.
Note that space is represented by a different ascii value.

A: Yes, space is a character. In ASCII encoding it has code number 32.

A: space is represented in String as "\s", probably space is represented as  '\s' as a character

The Head of the Deutsche Bank Division That Loaned Trump $364 Million Just Got a Big Promotion
Christian Sewing is the struggling firm's new CEO.
ReporterBio | Follow
Press Association/AP
Last week, Deutsche Bank, the struggling financial giant that is Donald Trump's biggest lender, anointed a new CEO, a longtime executive named Christian Sewing. He's worked in a number of roles at the bank, but what's significant about his résumé is the job he held prior to his promotion: He oversaw the firm's private bank, the division that caters to high-net-worth clients and has loaned Trump's company hundreds of millions of dollars over the years, when few lenders (including Deutsche Bank's own commercial lending arm) would do business with the bankruptcy-prone businessman. According to Trump's financial disclosures, he has loans with the bank totaling as much as $364 million.
Sewing, who has worked for the German bank since 1989, was tapped in 2015 to run the firm's retail and private banking divisions. During his tenure, the private bank made a $170 million loan to the Trump Organization to finance its new Washington, DC, hotel—one of at least four loans it has made to Trump and his businesses over the years. (The private bank also loaned money to a failed business venture that Donald Trump Jr. was involved in.) It was also during Sewing's stint running the private bank that the company began to grapple with some of the sticky issues that arise when you hold hundreds of millions in debt belonging to the president of the United States.
Trump made a personal guarantee on some of his loans, meaning that in the event of a default by the Trump Organization, he would be personally responsible for some of the money owed to the bank. In late 2016 and early 2017, Deutsche Bank's private banking division reportedly attempted to restructure Trump's various debts in an effort to remove his guarantees from the agreements, since the prospect of having a sitting president on the hook for tens of millions of dollars seemed problematic. But the effort to renegotiate the loans foundered.
"Discussions about the loans have moved from the bank's lending experts, who were trying to strip out the personal recourse, to more senior managers, who are assessing the political ramifications of any restructuring," reported Bloomberg last March. It's not clear if Trump's loans were ever restructured.
Having Trump as a client became a headache for the bank in other ways, particularly after congressional committees and special counsel Robert Mueller began probing ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Mueller's office reportedly subpoenaed Deutsche Bank for information on former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and according to the New York Times, the US attorney for the Eastern District of New York has sought documents relating to the family of Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The news that Mueller was seeking records from Deutsche Bank reportedly enraged Trump so much that he considered firing Mueller, but aides talked him down.
A Deutsche Bank spokesman declined to discuss whether Sewing has interacted with Trump or his company and whether he has participated in discussions concerning Trump's loans. He also declined to comment on the extent to which Deutsche Bank has cooperated with investigators. But the bank said last year in a blanket statement regarding Trump-related probes, "Deutsche Bank takes its legal obligations seriously and remains committed to cooperating with authorized investigations into this matter." The Trump Organization did not respond to a request for comment.
Trump first sought financing from Deutsche Bank in 1998 through the bank's commercial lending side, following a string of business failures that brought him to the brink of financial ruin. The real estate mogul's history of defaults made him radioactive to many banks, but Deutsche Bank took a gamble on him. It lent him $125 million for his 40 Wall Street office building and another $300 million toward the purchase of Trump World Tower, a condo project across the street from the United Nations in New York. Deutsche Bank later helped Trump take control of Manhattan's General Motors building, which he successfully sold a few years later.
Trump's relationship with the bank hit a rough patch after it lent him $640 million to finance the construction of his Chicago hotel and condo tower in 2005. When the 2008 financial crisis hit, the housing market tanked just as the project neared completion. Trump had personally guaranteed the loan with $40 million of his own money. Struggling to keep up with his loan payments, he sued the bank for $3 billion, claiming it had caused the global financial crisis, which had in turn slowed down condo sales in his building.
The dispute was ultimately settled, but according to one banker who was close to the deal, as far as the bank's commercial lending division was concerned, "he was persona non grata after that." At this point, Trump's business with the bank seemed to shift exclusively to the private side.
The private bank currently holds four Trump loans. In addition to the financing for Trump's DC hotel, it made two loans, totaling $125 million, to bankroll his company's purchase and redevelopment of the Doral golf course in Miami. The bank also loaned Trump $69 million to refinance debt related to the Chicago project.
Trump's debts to Deutsche Bank and other lenders have alarmed ethics experts who point out that these loans could form a major source of leverage over the president, to the point of posing a possible national security threat. The stakes are that much higher given that Deutsche Bank is a foreign lender, one with a precarious financial future and a history of regulatory run-ins, including with the US Justice Department. In recent years, the bank has been plagued by losses. Meanwhile, it has racked up a series of fines, several running into the billions of dollars, for offenses ranging from marketing toxic mortgage-backed securities to abetting Russian money-laundering.
The Trump administration's moves concerning the German lender have already raised questions. Last fall, CNN reported that the Justice Department had quietly dropped an investigation into the firm's involvement in Russian money-laundering.
The bank's relationship with Trump and his company is sure to be a delicate matter for the duration of Trump's presidency. If Sewing wasn't navigating these issues previously, he surely will be now as CEO.

Please join us in celebrating, this Advent, the "Missa Aurea," or "Golden Mass". We celebrate this special Mass by candlelight in the Extraordinary (Latin) Form.
The heart of the season of Advent is during the Ember Days. The theme of this Mass is one of Thanksgiving for the harvest, a day of praise and thankfulness for the benefits of the past season. Our eyes turn to the golden mystery, the Incarnation of the Son of God in the womb of Mary. Despite all the wonderful gifts, which God has bestowed upon us in the past, the joy of our hearts moves toward the perfect act of thanksgiving, Holy Mass, the continual Sacrifice of the Incarnate Savior.
This Mass has been celebrated throughout the ages with great solemnity. Let us teach our children to observe this solemnity, first of all by participating as a family and parochial group at the solemn Mass of the day.
Come and make this beautiful tradition a part of your Advent!

If you are looking for more to read, here are my favorite books.

Last revision:
Cover story:
Flight Lessons 1: Basic Flight
Flight Lessons 1 traces Eddie's progression from Air Force ROTC cadet to Air Force pilot training, and then on to the KC-135A tanker. Even as an engineering student at Purdue, engineering classes became flight lessons.
This book tells a story, from start to finish, about Eddie's search for "the meaning of it all." Each chapter begins with a part of that story and concludes with the more technical aspects of the flight lesson itself.
Available now: Amazon.com.
Flight Lessons 2: Advanced Flight
The first part of this book takes place in Hawaii, where Eddie completes the journey from copilot to the left seat, then to instructor, and then to flight examiner. There is a lot of learning going on. Eddie goes from a wet behind the ears first lieutenant copilot, to what he thought was a well seasoned flight examiner captain. He learned a lot, but he wasn't sure how all that happened. The second part of this book takes place in Omaha, where Eddie thinks he is about the undergo the same song, second verse. But he ends up learning how to learn. (And that was the best lesson of all.)
Flight Lessons 3: Experience
This book is set at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland and tracks Eddie's progress from a newly hired Gulfstream III (C-20) pilot, to aircraft commander, and to the wing's chief of safety. Of course he had already flown as a Boeing 707 examiner pilot and a Boeing 747 instructor pilot. But the 89th trains to a much higher standard and forces everyone to start over. Eddie started over and learned what Experto Crede really means. He ends his tour at Andrews as the 89th Airlift Wing Chief of Safety. After that, it was off to the Pentagon where he was in charge of the wing's aircraft operating, maintenance, and procurement budget. Every chapter and every lesson builds towards Eddie's realization about the true nature of Experto Crede. That realization, to this day, shapes how Eddie looks at the very nature of learning through experience. Good and bad.
Flight Lessons 4: Leadership and Command
This volume takes place in Germany where Eddie is a squadron commander with various levels of leadership below him and several layers of command above. By virtue of the personalities involved, each provide a case study of command and leadership. By this point, Eddie had been subjected to the command of all sorts of leaders, some good but most bad. A typical commander of a flying squadron has 15 to 18 years experience as a line pilot, staff officer, or subordinate leader. There isn't a lot of training and selection to command rarely involves an evaluation of one's ability to lead. So the results should be expected. Eddie starts this journey looking for the ideal style of leadership. The flight lessons are all about leadership, suitable for leading anything from a small flight department to an airline. (Or at least I think that is true based on my experiences.)
But there is a twist. The squadron loses an airplane, the CT-43 that crashed in Dubrovnik, Croatia on April 3, 1996. In the end, Eddie discovers the secret of command that unlocks the mystery of how to lead any level of a bureacuracy while balancing the needs of the people below with the organization above. Oh yes, the accident. The official Air Force investigation was flawed and got it wrong. I include the details and attempt to set things right.
Flight Lessons 5: Crew Resource Management
This volume covers my years as a corporate pilot, flying Part 91 for a publicly traded company, Part 135 for a management company, and Part 91 for a privately held company. Through it all, I think I experienced all sorts of crewmembers while trying to figure out what it takes to really practice and preach Crew Resource Management effectively. I think I've found the secret to good CRM.
The book is available in print and e-book form at: Amazon. The print version is available now, the eBook available for preorder, it will be released October 1, 2020.
International Operations Flight Manual
I wrote the international operations manual for several corporate aviation management companies and always wanted to publish one with much more than they would allow. This is it. It is just over 600 pages with a hard cover and lots and lots of reference material. You will learn the basics, such as how to plot a position. You will learn some pretty advanced art too, like the ins and outs of ADS-B Out, ADS-C, CPDLC, and so on. There are things you may have never heard of but can use if the chips are down, like the true course 10-degree tables. If there is source material to back it up, it is quoted directly just so you have it.
Of course a manual such as this will be out of date as soon as it is published. I've tried to post updates here: IFOM Updates.
Eddie's Favorite Books
Always remember that Eddie, when you get right down to it, is just a pilot. He tries to give you the facts from the source materials but maybe he got it wrong, maybe he is out of date. Sure, he warns you when he is giving you his personal techniques, but you should always follow your primary guidance (Aircraft manuals, government regulations, etc.) before listening to Eddie.

Homework has always been a hard work and scary affairs for most of the students. While, there are those intelligent, diligent and studious students who are very much diligent with their studies and school and homework are the top priorities in their lives. While the other majority group or categories of students are the opposites. They are those scary students and most often too lazy to be bothered with the mammoth task of doing and submitting the homework. For them, online homework service providing companies and the agencies are the ideal choices. But, let us dig further who are considered to be so-called lazy students and why are they desperately in need to hire custom writing service provider companies and agencies to do their homework. Usually, in general, the students who does not show much interest in the academics during the class, snores away and sleeps in the class, remains unmindful and inattentive in the class and those students who quite often misses the classes and have no clue what's going on in the class are usually tagged as lazy students with poor IQ. But, this may not be the case every time. If we take a deeper look, we will easily find out that many students, who are generally called lazy ones in academics, are proficient and excellent in other vocational areas such as music, sports, creative field, etc. Or, they have certain responsibilities to carry out which often hampers their academic activities. In this article, we will take a brief look at the top 5 reasons why such so-called academically lazy students should or can opt to hire a custom writing service.
Does not understand the academic topic/subject clearly.
Students, who work or need to work part time for some extra cash.
Students who are not confident to handle the homework assignment alone and seek a third party opinion on the same.

Libya: Building trust in a country in turmoil
One in five people living in Libya is in need of our urgent support.
Whilst the United Nations has backed support to strengthen the political situation in Libya, far less has been done to support people in immediate need.
What's the situation right now?
People in Libya are facing a forgotten crisis on an unimaginable scale. Unyielding violence, political chaos, and a collapsing economy have brought the healthcare system to its knees. Medical assistance is Libya's single biggest need right now - but the healthcare system is unable to respond and the UN appeal for Libya is only 51% funded.
People in Libya are facing a forgotten crisis on an unimaginable scale.
Hospitals in conflict-affected areas are barely able to operate due to a lack of staff, medicine and equipment. Hospital staff are overwhelmed trying to serve people in need of urgent attention.
The situation is unpredictable and can change overnight, leaving the civilian population caught in the middle. Migrants and asylum seekers in detention centres continue to be victims of violence and live in inhumane conditions. Migrants - at risk of arrest at any moment - are among the most vulnerable.
Hundreds of thousands of people living in major cities are at high risk of death or life-threatening injury. Violence and economic decline disrupt all facets of life.
What is the IRC doing to help?
The IRC's medical team started work in October 2016, providing emergency healthcare to people caught up in the crisis in Western Libya, including Misrata - where wounded civilians were arriving from Sirte, a four-hour drive away. Reaching approximately 3,400 beneficiaries with direct services, the IRC provided emergency reproductive health kits as well as medicines and equipment to hospitals and maternity wards. The IRC is among the few international organisations providing direct support to civilians on the ground. In a country where basic medical services are degraded or absent, we are continuing to expand our work - moving to support mobile health clinics in Misrata and Sirte.

What needs to be done?
Libya is a country in turmoil. At least two governments vie for control and over 1,000 militias are fighting for territory. The needs of civilians caught in the middle are immense. Global leaders from the US, to Russia, to Europe must continue to work closely with Libyan leaders for sustained humanitarian and diplomatic engagement to improve the daily lives of people caught up in the violence. As and until the crisis in Libya subsides, people will continue to need protection and medical support.
The IRC's programmes in Libya are funded by EU Humanitarian Aid.

These are smaller and slower conducting than the alpha motoneurons, and innervate muscle spindles also known as intrafusal muscle fibers. Function of medullated small-nerve fibers in mammalian ventral roots; efferent muscle spindle innervation.
Gamma motor neurons innervate the intrafusal muscle fibers of a specialized sensory organ, the muscle spindle. During inactivity, the resting membrane potential and firing threshold became more depolarized.
Like the alpha motor neurons , the gamma motor neurons lie in the ventral horn of the spinal cord interspersed among the alpha motor neurons innervating the same muscle.
Alpha motor neurons are highly abundant and larger in size than gamma motor neurons.
This article has been cited by other articles in PMC. This interneuron provides direct inhibition of the alpha motoneuron disynaptically.
Box in low-resolution pictures Left indicates area shown at higher resolution and for split channels Right. In the case of density of muscle spindles, the jaw-closing muscles have been found to be rich with muscle spindles.
These innervate large skeletal muscle fibers and are responsible for muscle contraction. Each alpha motoneuron innervates a motor unit, which is a population of muscle fibers.
These connections provide the structure for the neural circuits that underlie reflexes. These connections provide the structure for the neural circuits that underlie reflexes. The principle that spinal motor motoneurony alfa i gamma can be fractionated into functionally distinct subtypes on the basis of their profile of transcription factors therefore extends to neuronal subtypes within single motor neuron pools.
However, and midbrain -and zuppa inglese con panettone developmental reasons are found near the midline of the brainstem, motoneurony alfa i gamma, may induce appropriate changes in motor neuronal gene expression, may induce appropriate changes in motor neuronal gene expression.
These connections provide the structure for the neural circuits that underlie reflexes.
Each alpha motoneuron innervates a motor unit, which is a population of muscle fibers. It travels to the extrafusal muscle fibers, where it then branches out.
All of these mechanisms can be studied in humans, although often limited to only certain muscles.

This will appear on the oscilloscope as lower peaks on the y-axis. In addition, knockout mice without this serotonin receptor exhibited more coordination on a balance beam task, suggesting that less activation of motor neurons by Ia afferents during movement could reduce the unnecessary excess of muscle output.
The firing of the gamma motor neuron carries an efferent signal back to the ends of the intrafusal fiber causing it to contract. A variety of drugs exert their effects by influencing neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction Table 2. The value of the enhanced spindle discharge during isometric contractions should not be underestimated; manipulative skill is not innate.

Sonic hedgehog genes Shh are an important part of the development process that is secreted by the notochord creating gradients of concentrations. To ensure an adequate total input into a motoneuronal pool, the controller needs to take into account the predicted peripheral contribution and generate a central component that would make the total input into the motoneuronal pool adequate to produce the output computed at the previous step Figure 5.


This has been a memorable night here in Los Angeles - be in no doubt that the heavyweight division is alive and well again.
The noisy singing of God Save The Queen at the Staples Center was evidence of a healthy British support in the arena - and, indeed, Fury has re-emerged as something of a people's champion after time spent away from the sport to overcome depression, during which he also accepted a backdated two-year UK Anti-Doping ban.
One of Wilder's team likened Fury to WWE wrestler The Undertaker, such was his 12th-round 'back-from-the-dead' recovery.
Wilder-Fury II - Vegas? Wembley?
Wilder showed why he is champion. Even when frustrated by his opponent, he found a way to deliver crucial blows. His performance - and this captivating bout - will do his profile no harm in the US.
After an incredible night of drama which delivered on the hype, surely it has to?
Promoter Frank Warren on BT Sport Box Office: "It is a draw but everyone knows [Fury] won it and we will want to do a rematch. How could a fight like this not be a rematch? It is unfinished business.
"In Britain that is an 80,000 job. Vegas will be drooling for this. When was the last time you saw a great fight in the USA."
Tyson Fury: "We're the best two heavyweights on the planet. There is another heavyweight who is a chicken. Joshua, where are you?"
Deontay Wilder: "I did not sit still, I was too hesitant, I started overthrowing the right hand. I was forcing my punches too much.
"When I rush my punches like that I'm never accurate. The rematch I guarantee I'm going to get him."
Tyson Fury's trainer Ben Davison: "I told Tyson before the fight he would beat him with his left hand. We didn't come here for money to get through the fight, we came here to win and I'm sick and gutted."
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman to BBC Radio 5 live Sportsweek: "I think the draw is well taken. It could have gone either way. It was a great fight. The two knock-downs were the defining factor of the fight.
"Several rounds were very close - a few punches makes the difference. "

We want to hear about the organizations that have impacted your life by helping the earth. Here's how you can enter to give your favorite organization $100 and win a UCO Gear package.
2. In your description, tell us about the non-profit organization that you're nominating. Tag them if they're on Instagram too!
3. Make sure your posts are public so we can see them! Each person can post up to 5 times. Deadline is April 30th!
If you're in Tennessee on April 22nd, meet up and #TrashTag with Ambassador Kathy Karlo as she completes the last leg of her StayLocal Tour. Learn more here and RSVP to her trashtag cleanup here.
There are two great opportunities to #trashtag with pros coming up in North Carolina April 3rd 2016 and California April 3rd 2016 are coming up soon. Other great places to trashtag include parks, playgrounds, the beach and the trails.
The post with the most likes will win the People's Choice Award, which receives a UCO Gear prize package,too! Both winners announced on April 22.


Entrepreneur, Matt Wegrzyn, knew how to create value and how to sell it. He knew there was a need for domain names so he was able to buy and sell domain names beginning at a young age. Some of his best deals sold for over six figures. Anything can happen with a great idea, creativity, and hard work. Matt is living proof.
Customers do not want complicated ideas to wrap their head around. Your first impression makes all the difference. Whether or not your idea is simple or complex, begin with a simple presentation, and fill in the details later. Do NOT make assumptions about your customers based on your own behavior or habits.
Think and learn about the people you want to reach. If you are not operating on the same wavelength as your customer, your marketing efforts will seem like they are coming from another planet. It will not resonate with your intended audience.
A young college student, from the UK, realized there was no online retailer for eyeglasses and quickly filled that need for customers and became a millionaire. He used his student loans as capital and brought in $4 million the first year, in what he calls a "recession-proof" business. He took a simple need and fulfilled it for his customers. His idea solved a problem. He focused on a way to improve his customer's lives. He realized the joy and peace that they received by using what he had to offer. That excitement drove his passion to succeed.
Where are these people? What newsletters or publications do they read? Where do they go for information? What social networks do they use? Ask questions. Survey people through your email address. Pick up the phone or invite them to an event or meal. Anticipate your customer's needs and serve them before they realize they need you. In other words, be there before the sale.
A good example of this can be seen on Shark Tank when Maddie Bradshaw, along with her mom and younger sister, started designing locker decorations using soft drink bottle tops because she couldn't find anything she liked on the market. By the time she was 16 years old, she lassoed three of the sharks to invest in her business and earned $1.6 million the first year.
Customers will bring up all sorts of roadblocks that you need to be aware of before presenting your ideas. For example, time, price, and changes that need to be mad or any difficulties, for that matter, must be addressed. Know how your customer thinks. Let's face it – customers do NOT want to be sold. Instead, they want you to offer or provide them with a solution.
Babak Farahi did just that in Walnut Creek California. Babak and his friends in high school craved excitement and found it by listening to the radio scanner for their area. The minute they would hear about a fire or traffic accident, they would rush to the scene, take pictures and film footage before promptly selling it to the news stations that had arrived too late. This hobby turned into quite the business.
After graduating high school, Babak started a video production company specializing in custom video editing but he also saw potential in taping new shows and would sell the videotapes to those people who had appeared on the show or network. In 1996, he created Multivision, Inc. and now gathers all sorts of information from thousands of stations worldwide and creates tools such as digital clips, DVDs, and transcripts so clients so they can watch, monitor and analyze the information. Barak was only 23 when he formed Multivision and works hard to keep his employees happy.
When a customer realizes that your idea, product or service improves their life or situation, the value will exceed the cost. Make it easy for the customer to say yes. It always easier to say yes, then it does to say no. When you ask the question, know the answer is yes before you ask it. When you see things through the eyes of your customer, everything changes for the better. That is when you get to rock their world. Ok – at least change their world.
Joseph Semprevivo has determined the change the world through his sugar-free and fat-free cookies known as Joseph's Lite Cookies. Life as a diabetic can be hard, especially for a 12-year old son with some help from his father, they created a sugar-free ice cream that was served at his parent's restaurant. This led to a re-branding of the restaurant to a Sandwich and Ice-Cream Shop in New Mexico. After stocking 197 grocery stores with their products, it eventually led to offering a variety of cookies, cakes, brownies, peanut butter and pancake syrup.
The company is now in 37 countries and will be in 125,000 U.S. stores very soon.
His original intention was to help other diabetics, but his line has many followers including nutrition and health enthusiasts, those dealing with hypoglycemia and cancer who must eliminate sugar from their diet. Quality and taste set them apart but his goal has always been to help people lead healthy lives.
Many people in sales focus on selling their company, their product or service but spend little time, if any, on selling themselves. However, you are a huge part of the package. In today's competitive market, you must position yourself as the go-to person that will solve their problem or issue. A lack of self-sealing can limit the degree to which customers will trust you. Today, customers look past the logo, product or service and want to know what YOU can offer. Sell yourself.
Quick TIP: Know your customer, create value and sell yourself.

HomeSoccerCan Manchester City finish in the top four?
Can Manchester City finish in the top four?
SportsSoccerAll News
With about eight rounds of games – for most sides – left in the English Premier League, the race for the top four is really heating up. Manchester City, currently in fourth place with 51 points are just four points ahead of seventh-placed Southampton.
Between Manchester City and Southampton are West Ham United and Manchester United in fifth and sixth respectively with 50 points each, both the teams having played 30 league games each so far. Arsenal with 55 points from their 30 games haven't really locked up their fourth place yet, especially considering their tendency of being inconsistent.
All this has made it incredibly hard to call which sides will ultimately be in the top four come the end of the season. Leicester City, who are top of the league standings with 66 points and Tottenham Hotspur in their close pursuit five points adrift have in all probability secured Champions League football for the coming season. But things are very uncertain after them.
Manchester City have announced that manager Manuel Pellegrini will be making way for Pep Guardiola at the end of the season, and what looked like a sort of an unkind decision by the Citizens management, considering the Chilean's double-winning first season, is increasingly looking like a justified move.
The 2012 and 2014 English champions have been atrocious this season against the teams in the top six. In fact, their record against the top six is same as that of relegation contenders Aston Villa. It's their form against the bottom half of the table sides that has seen the Citizens still in contention for a spot in next season's Champions League.
Such a disastrous form against the top sides has clearly raised question marks on Pellegrini's tactical capabilities when it comes to finding answers against strong opposition.
In their remaining eight league fixtures, Manchester City have to face Southampton in the 36th round followed by a game against the Gunners at the Etihad Stadium, and going by the form book, it would be no surprise if they manage to lose both the matches. And a reverse in these games could be disastrous for them as it may put their Champions League qualification desires in real jeopardy.
Suddenly, there is a possibility that Guardiola could be left managing one of the richest sides in world football in the Europa League next season.
Of the other top four contenders, Arsenal have a manageable list of upcoming games, their trip to Upton Park on 9th April will provide a real test especially with the Hammers' having won the reverse fixture at the Emirates Stadium on the opening day of the season.
Manchester United face a tricky trip to White Hart Lane on 10th April while they also have to face Leicester City and West Ham United later in the campaign.
The Hammers have to face Arsenal, Manchester United and Leicester City, meaning theoretically they have the toughest run-in.
Going by the remaining set of games Manchester City still have the top four in their hands, but it remains to be seen if they finally get their form going.
