Shortmail secures $750K for email, simplified
Ronny Kerr · July 11, 2011 · Short URL: https://vator.tv/n/1c94
Email is an old, broken system, and 410 Labs wants to fix it with brevity
Inbox (423).
That's never a pretty sight. Anyone whose work involves use of an email account knows the pain and misery of dealing with emails all day. Sometimes it seems that my only real job is keeping the deluge of emails at bay--reading, replying, starring for later. It's madness.
Many have tried (and none have succeeded?) at fixing the email problem, but here's a new take: inspired by the brevity of Twitter, Shortmail limits messages to 500 characters.
And the service is already going viral. In its first week, it garnered over 10,000 new registrations. It'll probably little surprise then to hear that virality has led to some new funding.
The creator of Shortmail, 410 Labs, announced Monday that it has closed $750,000 in Series A funding from True Ventures, 500 Startups, Fortify Ventures, the Maryland Venture Fund. Additionally, several angel investors and entrepreneurs participated, including Tim O'Shaughnessy (CEO and co-founder of LivingSocial), Abdur Chowdhury (chief scientist at Twitter), Jeff Ganek, Mark Walsh, Tom Loveland, Greg Cangialosi and Paul Silber.
As you'd expect, Shortmail works a lot like email, except it has that 500-character limitation. The idea is that conciseness will help clean up and simplify the experience of email:
"We found that it is long enough to allow people to express a complex idea, but not so long as things get wordy. We think it will emerge as a standard length for 'short' email."
"We reached the conclusion that while length may not be the primary problem with email, the positive benefits and new capabilities associated with limiting length to 500 characters would be immense. Think about Shortmail's length limitation in this way: What becomes possible when messages are more concise? Twitter's length-limited messaging has transformed public discourse. We believe we can transform interpersonal communications, which has seen little innovation in 40 years."
When you mail someone's regular email account, Shortmail includes a signature explaining that the sender will only be able to receive messages with under 500 characters.
Length isn't the only limitation. Shortmail doesn't support attachments, because "[we] think in general that they're worth deprecating," according to 410 Labs co-founder Dave Troy.
Right now, only Twitter users can sign up, and they're all guaranteed the same handle that they have on Twitter. So my address is kerrronny [at] shortmail [dot] com.
410 Labs, founded by Dave Troy and Matt Koll and based in Baltimore, builds productivity tools for communication. Besides Shortmail, there's Replyz, a Q&A site that harnesses the power of the Twitter stream to collect answers to your questions, and Mailstrom, which produces analytics based on your emails.
Clearly a lot of investors agree with Troy and Koll's company tagline: "We build cool stuff." While Shortmail might have a long, hard fight in revolutionizing email, something tells me we'll be seeing a lot from the two entrepreneurs, whether Shortmail reaches a wide audience or not.

Q: Static HTML page (renamed to ASPX) and saved to OneDrive is displayed everywhere except on Android I have a simple static HTML web page that had its extension renamed from HTML to ASPX, in order for it to be viewable via SharePoint, OneDrive or Teams.
This is the HTML test file I used:
<!DOCTYPE html>

This is a Heading

This is a paragraph.

This is a paragraph
 with a line break.

In Windows, viewing this HTML file as ASPX page works fine when opened from OneDrive, from SharePoint or from Teams, both when opening the file directly, or when using one of the two links #1 or #2 below.
However, when shared via OneDrive, the second link #2 does not work on Android. It produces the error message "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object":

Only link #2 from SharePoint is displayed correctly in Android, for example pinned as a tab in Teams, or directly in a browser.  While theoretically I could use link #2, for organizational reasons it is important to use link #1 from OneDrive instead.
(the links are highlighted with different colors to make it easier to see the structure of the links)

What could be the reason that link #1 works everywhere except on Android, and how can I get that ASPX file to also work on Android?

A: I faced similar error before, I don't remember exactly how I sove it,
I believe that the aspx page generated from a SharePoint Shared link and enhanced in Link#1 won't work because it will generate some parts that are not supported in Android (just an Hypothesis),
Meanwhile, what I have done, I recreated the link for the file in OneDrive, it will give you the same link but the page should get rid of the aspx parts that are not supported in Android (specially if you Android version is old),
I created a simple static HTML web page that had its extension renamed from HTML to ASPX. It works fine even for iOS
Best regards.

Widow Loses 57kg When Facing Your Fears and Taking Selfies in the Mirror Every Day
Justine McCabe, a 31-year-old Los Angeles resident of the United States, was crammed into fast food and barely left the house after her husband, John Paul, died last February.
After three months of mourning, she was persuaded by her family and friends to enter the gym and lose a portion of her 140kg. Justine, a mother of two, realized that she really needed to change her life and started taking selfies in the mirror every day to chart the path of her weight loss.
McCabe exchanged calorie snacks and giant meals to which she was accustomed by healthy eating and enrollment in a gym where she began exercising six times a week.
At the same time, she decided to set goals based on things she was afraid of, such as skydiving, traveling alone, exercising, climbing, and more. Now, a year after her move, she is unrecognizable, after losing more than 57kg and shrinking her dummy from 24 to 10 (US numbers).
McCabe confesses that her husband's death was indeed a very great and terrible blow to her, and something that worsened even more after her mother's death, which had occurred shortly before. "Having a loved one commit suicide is the most terrible thing that can happen to you. The death of my husband gave me a shock of reality that I needed to change many things. "
"After a while to reevaluate my life, I came to the conclusion that I needed to pursue my dreams and face my fears - I really needed to live. I knew I could survive without my husband and my mother, but I needed a break to overcome my insecurities and live life in a way that made me proud of myself. "
"These 365 days of selfies were one of the first things I started to do. The first picture I took was something terrible, I looked so lost and destroyed. "
Justine revealed that she began to grow bolder as she lost her weight. Despite being afraid of altitude and flying, she had now begun to practice adventure sports, such as cliff hop, para-comb flying, and a plane trip to Paris. She adds that before her move, she would not do any of these things or pay her, but that after her husband's death she had a goal to overcome these fears - and she succeeded.
She Overcame Food Compulsion After Husband Suicides and Lost 40 kg
Young Obese Loses 55kg Naturally in 9 Months
Woman Overcomes Betrayal of Husband and Slims 46 kg
Woman Loses 70 kg After Dad Dies Because Of Obesity
"Every challenge I faced made me feel more alive and brought me back, which gave me fuel to move on every day. Losing weight was part of this lifestyle change for me, I was overweight practically since I was 18 years old and always tried to use those fad diets and failed.
"Whenever I needed to ride a plane, I had to wear a type of seat belt extender, which was kind of embarrassing. I was always the fat man in space for everyone. "The self was a motivating and encouraging factor for Justine, because whenever she did not want to go to the gym, she would look at past photos, see all the progress she had already made and knew this would be a wrong decision.
"Looking at those pictures made me shiver, I could not believe that I had gone so far and fulfilled my goals that seemed impossible before. I now feel like I am a different person. My dreams have been reached and now I'm living for real. "
Justine started gaining weight at age 18, when she gained almost 40kg during pregnancy. From there, her weight went out of control and she began to overeat industrialized snacks, surpassing 140kg after her husband's death. "Before, I actually ate in large quantities, lots of fries and repeated 3 times at dinner. Besides, I was always eating calorie snacks between meals, lots of candy, cake, cookies, and anything quick and convenient I could see. "
"It really messed up my self-confidence, I knew I was a giant because of my weight and height, and to make myself comfortable I ended up eating more, it was a vicious cycle."
7 months after his life changed, having lost 45kg, McCabe could finally fit into a pair of jeans he had kept since he was 18. Now weighing only 85kg, she says she is determined to always keep her challenges, which enrich her new lifestyle more and more.
A photo published by Justine -124lbs #ichoosetolive (@hairstargetsfit) on May 19, 2016 at 10:31 PDT
"Losing almost 90kg was spectacular, it was like saying goodbye to the fat one that I was before. Now people who have known me for years do not recognize me and are surprised when they see how much weight I lost. "
"The challenges did not stop here, this year I already drew 4 more, like climbing mountains, a little more skydiving, bungee jumping and traveling ... Now I'm living my life without limits!".
McCabe attributes his weight loss success to his own determination and to his personal trainer online, Jonny Straws, who states: "From the beginning, Justine had a goal in mind and chose the most challenging way to achieve her success. We switch from a workout mentality based solely on aerobic exercises to implementing bodybuilding and a variety of HIIT workouts, and your diet is adjusted every month so it does not lose enthusiasm for healthy eating. I will not stop helping her while she is developing her body and new challenges for herself. "

Film Review | We Can't Hear the Mime!
It's hard not to feel encroached upon by the endless parade of branding and merchandise surrounding animated films. With Shrek turning out to be the multi-sequelled hydra it set out to mock and the announcement of a Frozen 2 and a Toy Story 4, a film whose name itself is a product would seem to be another manifestation of the problem. But this, thankfully, is not yet the fate of The Lego Movie even nearly a year after its release. But then again this is coming from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who brought us Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and its sequel of equal quality so there was little to fear.
There's something about Lego that has been begging to be made into a film for years. I personally have never come across someone with even the vaguest passing interest in cinema that never made a Lego stop motion. Not all of them matched up to the masterful creations that blow up youtube, but then most of them were made with cameraphones. The Lego Movie didn't opt for stop motion, although technically speaking it could have been done, if you had more Lego than is possibly imaginable and several lifetimes to go with it. Instead this Lego is CGI, but still for the most part obeying the laws of movement within the Lego universe – ie: the bricks don't change size. Ever. Everything is built entirely to scale in the computers out of Lego pieces that genuinely exist in the physical world. This makes the whole film seem more tactile, in places the Lego even has fingerprints and scuff-marks as if you'd brought your own plastic bricks to life. When the film does slip in a few moments of stop motion and even live action sequences they are so well matched to the CGI Lego world that it doesn't even feel like a break. What's even better is that the real world is slowly woven into the story and the fabric of the animation throughout the film so that when Emmett (our adorable everyman voiced by Chris Pratt) finally makes it into Live-Action-Land it doesn't feel like a gimmick tacked onto the end of the movie just to show some cool Lego structures that actually got built.
Yet while you're watching this film you don't really take notice of the painstaking attention to detail and the incredible technological feat and scale of imagination that went into this film. You are most likely too busy laughing. The jokes come thick and fast and are so dead-pan that many of them can be missed on the first viewing. It's an ebullient, joyful humour that's never laughing too much at anyone in particular. There's a genuine heart to the film that doesn't fall into cynicism, not even towards Lego Batman, the most reproachable minifigure you'll ever see. The characters fall somewhere between stereotype and archetype as well as mixing in some well-known faces from popular culture so the experience is more like hanging out with an old group of friends than watching a brand new set of characters. It's comforting and relaxing without being predictable.
What's more is that this film belongs to the perpetually diminishing number of films that can genuinely be called "family films" in that every member of a family can enjoy them. It's a kids' film, yes. But some of those jokes will be flying over their heads and I doubt they'll be appreciating the ironic deconstruction of mass-produced uniformity that lingers over the film as an ever-present fate worse than death. At its core it wants to say something about being creative and allowing your imagination to run free. This is, as the film aptly shows, most often something adults need to be told more than kids. The child, every child is the hero here and it appeals to nostalgia and hope for the future at the same time. It's hard not to be uplifted by this film, even if in a few places the plot almost meanders off and the message feels a little as if it's being delivered with a hammer it's well-meaning, it's fun and it captures some childish joy that everyone wants to hold on to.

Pep Guardiola should ditch David Silva to reunite with this playmaker at Man City
Pep Guardiola is closing in on achieving a squad our resident Manchester City fans believe is capable of winning the league.
City are arguably just one signing away from being title contenders, with just a left-back needed to add to their ranks.
Having moved on from Gael Clichy and Aleksandar Kolarov, Benjamin Mendy haas been signed from Monaco – though another full-back is expected to arrive to challenge Frenchman.
City are more than comfortable at the other end of the field, but Guardiola should be considering who to replace David Silva with in the near future.
Former Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcantara is the natural successor to Silva.
The Spain international, recruited to Bayern Munich by Guardiola has been phenomenal since arriving in 2013.
Silva, who has recently chopped his locks off, has shown signs of falling away.
The 31-year-old by no means endured a poor season, but a return of four goals and seven assists from his 34 games is disappointing for his standards.
Thiago meanwhile is improving every season for Bayern Munich.
The Spaniard operates in a far deeper role than Silva, but is still capable of lining up as an attacking midfielder.
From the centre, the 26-year-old registered six goals and five assists in the Bundesliga.
Barcelona are suggested to be keen on re-signing their former academy graduate.
However, Guardiola's presence at Manchester City could be enough to persuade the playmaker to make the switch to England.
What do you think? Is it too early to be looking for Silva's successor? Or does Guardiola need to be ruthless? Let us know in the comments!

Chasing October (2007)
March 1, 2007 Jim McLennan comedy, documentary, reviews
Dir: Matt Liston
Star: Matt Liston, Chris Karnak, Faline England
I find films that play with perceptions of "reality" fascinating – even when they suck, as in Blair Witch. The question here is, how much Matt Liston is genuine, and how much he's playing a part. The movie depicts his obsession with the Chicago Cubs and his quest to get them the World Series win which has eluded them for nearly a century. And when I say, "obsession", the most painful moment is when his girlfriend pops the nightmare question feared by all dedicated fans: which he loves more, her or the team? He's on a par with Jimmy Fallon's character in Fever Pitch, and that rom-com is a good touchstone here, for its mix of passions, even though the Cubs season ends in spectacular implosion. The film is at its best when capturing the glorious nature of pure, devoted fandom, as when Liston visits a bank, seeking $20m to boost the payroll. Or seeking to interview the head of the team owners, the Tribune Company, whose penny-pinching ways are blamed by many fans for the Cubs' failures. More of this Borat-like confrontation would have been welcome.
Other notes don't quite ring true: for instance, the avowed poverty of the character as he makes his documentary. This doesn't match the expensive soundtrack, from Pearl Jam to Frank Sinatra, or the copious footage of games, which can't have been cheap either. While most people are playing themselves (his real parents, for example), they sometimes come across as forced or obviously scripted. Though the moments which work, are often brilliant, as when his girlfriend discovers a $2,000 bill from a jeweler isn't what she thought. For a non-Cubs fan, or even a non-baseball point of view, there's plenty to enjoy, because fanatical fandom is much the same, regardless of the color of style of shirt it wears. We may not have the same degree of desperate self-loathing as Cubs supporters – who judging by their comments here, feel the same way about their team as a badly-treated dog feels about its owner. But the hope, and its cruel dismantling by the hard facts of reality, is something more or less familiar to all fans. And it's that which made this film resonate with me.

Before you venture into the world of hydrating foundations and nourishing face powders, master the basics the most essential skincare element: face moisturizer.

To find the best face moisturizer for aging skin, you can look for specific ingredients that are beneficial to mature skin. Signs of aging are caused by a reduction of elasticity in the skin, and the inability for skin to repair itself over time. This is due to a loss of collagen in the skin.

Missouri Legislature Approves Bill to Reduce Abortions, Blunt to Sign
State | Steven Ertelt | Sep 15, 2005 | 9:00AM | WASHINGTON, DC
Missouri Legislature Approves Bill to Reduce Abortions, Blunt to Sign Email this article
Jefferson City, MO (LifeNews.com) — The Missouri state legislature has given its final approval to legislation that would further reduce the number of abortions in the Show Me State. The measure helps parents keep teenagers away from secret abortions and helps women who may be botched by an abortion gone awry.
With the 115-35 vote the state House sent the bill to Gov. Mat Blunt, a Republican who has said he will sign it and called state lawmakers to town specifically to pass it. The Senate passed the measure 26-6 last week.
Blunt praised the passage of the bill, calling it a "a good pro-life piece of legislation that will reduce the number of abortions in our state" and help in "cultivating a culture that values human life and the rights of the unborn."
Though Blunt will sign it, the measure may not be immediately enforced because Planned Parenthood and a Springfield abortion business both plan to file lawsuits against the measure.
"Planned Parenthood pledges to do everything we can through the courts to challenge this law," Paula Gianino, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region told the News-Leader newspaper.
The legislation features two key provisions.
One prevents adults other than a minor girl's parents from taking her to another state for an abortion. The other requires abortion practitioners to have admitting privileges in a local hospital within a 30 mile radius of the abortion facility.
During a hearing on the measure, Shawn Reagan of Wood River, said she wept as she talked with staff at the Hope Clinic abortion facility in Granite City, Illinois. The staff refused to let her talk to her 14 year-old daughter who was inside the facility preparing for an abortion.
Reagan knows the bill won't affect Illinois law, but she hopes it helps Missouri teens and parents who may face a similar situation as her.
"I only hope that Illinois will follow suit," she said.
Staff at the abortion facility told the News-Leader they are changing their practices on abortions on minors.
Hope Clinic executive director Sally Burgess said it will not require parents of Missouri teens to accompany them to the abortion facility to ensure it has their consent to perform the abortion. If the teen is worried about telling her parents about her pregnancy or a possible abortion, the facility will not perform the abortion.
"We have explored what we can do for a teenager who feels she would be in danger if she went to her parents," Burgess said.
Pro-life groups back the bill and it "will protect women, will protect parental rights and we believe it will save many lives," Susan Klein, of Missouri Right to Life, told the Associated Press.

October 14, 2016 /Comments Off on How to Access .onion Sites (Also Known as Tor Hidden Services)
Website addresses that end in ".onion" aren't like normal domain names, and you can't access them with a normal web browser. Addresses that end with ".onion" point to Tor hidden services on the "deep web".
Warning: Lots of .onion sites contain very nasty things, and many of them are likely scams. We recommend staying away from "browsing" .onion sites–instead, use this only if you have a specific site you want to access for a good reason.
HTG Mobile Article Top
What Is a .onion Site?
Tor–short for "the onion router"–is an anonymizing computer network. It's partially funded by the US government, and is designed to help people in countries where Internet access may be censored or monitored. When you connect to Tor, your internet activity is sent through the Tor network, anonymizing your Internet activity so it can't be snooped on, and so that you can access websites that may be blocked in your country.
So, when you access google.com through Tor, your request bounces from Tor relay to Tor relay before it reaches an "exit node". That exit node then contacts Google.com for you, and it sends you back the data Google responded with. Google sees this as the exit node's IP address contacting it instead of your IP address.
But that means that "last mile" of traffic can be snooped on by an organization monitoring or even running the exit nodes–especially if your traffic is unencrypted. A ".onion" address points to a Tor hidden service, which is a server you can only access through Tor. This means that your browsing activity can't be snooped on by someone watching the Tor exit nodes. It also means that someone hosting a website can hide that server using the Tor network, so no one can find it–in theory.
For example, Facebook maintains an official Tor hidden services address at "https://facebookcorewwwi.onion/". This allows you to access Facebook through Tor, and your connection doesn't ever leave Tor where it can be snooped on. This may be useful in countries that block Facebook, for example.
You don't necessarily want to use Tor all the time, as it's slower than just browsing normally. But it's a useful tool for anonymizing your Internet activity and bypassing censorship.
How to Access .onion Sites with the Tor Browser
To access a .onion address, you'll need to access it through the Tor Browser. It's a modified version of Firefox that's configured to connect to sites through the Tor network.
Download the Tor Browser from the Tor project's website to continue. It's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
On Android phones and tablets, you can download the official Orbot proxy app or Orfox browser from Google Play. The Tor project offers no official Tor apps for iPhone or iPad.
After launching the Tor browser, type the .onion address into its address bar. For example, to access Facebook's hidden service, you'd enter the following address:
https://facebookcorewwwi.onion/
Or, to access the DuckDuckGo search engine's hidden service, you'd enter:
http://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion/
While using the Tor browser, you can click links to .onion addresses and they'll load normally. But they'll only work in the Tor browser, while connected to Tor.
Don't Access .onion Sites Through Proxies Like Tor2Web
You can also access .onion sites without running Tor through proxies that connect to Tor for you. The proxy connects to Tor for you and then forwards you the traffic over the regular Internet.
This, however, is a very bad idea! You're losing the anonymity you normally have when you connect to a .onion site through the Tor browser. That's the whole point of a .onion address, after all. The website you access maintains its anonymity, but someone monitoring your connection can see which website you're connecting to. The service provider can also see what you're connecting to and snoop on any passwords and other private information you provide over the connection.
Tor2web functions in this way, but you shouldn't use it. For example, if you attempt to connect to Facebook's hidden service using Tor2web, Facebook blocks the connection and tells you it's a bad idea.
Looking for lists of .onion sites? Search the web for lists of .onion sites and you'll find some places to start. Many of the directories of .onion sites are themselves stored on .onion sites, though, which you can only access through Tor.
Again, beware: Lots of .onion sites contain very nasty things, and many of them are likely scams. We recommend staying away from them, if possible. This trick is best used when you want to browse to a specific .onion site.

How innovative companies are transforming the steel industry
You can read this article in 5 minutes
1.87 million tons of crude steel were produced worldwide in 2020, according to World Steel. Of that amount, 16% was destined for the transport sector. If we're going to make a dent in the environmental footprint of the global manufacturing industry, one of the first processes that will need to be transformed is steel production.
Todd Simms
VP, Industry Strategy, FourKites

SSAB is one of the global steel manufacturers at the forefront of that revolution. They're currently pioneering something called fossil-free steel – steel produced without releasing any carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Thomas Hörnfeldt, Vice President of Sustainability and Public Affairs for SSAB, recently joined us for FourKites' Global Supply Chain Sustainability Summit to discuss the importance of greening the manufacturing industry.
SSAB's Strategic Roadmap
SSAB plans to introduce fossil-free steel into the global market by 2026, and to be 100% fossil-free by 2045. They intend to achieve this by a stepwise reduction in their carbon footprint, targeting both reductions in net-zero carbon emissions from within their operations, as well as from purchased energy.
"Our goal is to get rid of CO2 emissions, and we're really talking about eliminating them, not reducing them," Hörnfeldt said during the FourKites Sustainability Summit. "Being a steel maker, we are quite early in the supply chain. Our customers are typically automotive companies, construction companies, agricultural companies, and everybody that makes general machinery."
Many of SSAB's prospective zero-carbon steel customers are automotive companies, automotive suppliers and construction companies. In each of these industries, relatively little emissions tend to be generated during the actual production phase, compared to both the use and the manufacturing of the raw materials themselves. For example, in the European automotive industry — which is well on its way to eliminating tailpipe emissions exhaust — the bulk of environmental impacts generated by a vehicle is transitioning from the actual use of the vehicle to the manufacturing of that vehicle.
The same is true for sustainable construction.
"We have zero energy buildings where using the building doesn't really generate that much environmental impact," Hörnfeldt said. "But the construction of the building and the materials that go into the building has the main impact. And that is also where, again, fossil free materials will play an important role in the future."
"Our goal is to get rid of CO2 emissions, and we're really talking about eliminating them, not reducing them."
– Thomas Hörnfeldt, VP Sustainability and Public Affairs, SSAB
How To Make Green Steel
Fossil-free steel is produced using a process called Hydrogen Breakthrough Ironmaking Technology, or HYBRIT. The HYBRIT process was developed by SSAB at their pilot plant in Luleå, Sweden, and unveiled in August 2021 in collaboration with Swedish utility provider Vattenfall and mining company LKAB.
Traditional steel-making uses a process known as coking to extract oxygen out of iron ore. This process, however, releases a significant amount of carbon dioxide. To create their fossil-free steel, SSAB has replaced coking with a process that uses electrolysis – passing an electrical current through water to separate it into its constituent elements of hydrogen and oxygen.
This means that not only is there virtually no carbon dioxide being released in the process of making the steel, but that new steel is actually serving as a repository of carbon that otherwise might have found its way into the atmosphere.
Leaps and Bounds
Fossil-free steel can be used for just about anything that traditional steel can be used for. One of the most exciting use cases is automotive manufacturing.
Volvo Group, a FourKites strategic investor, has been an outspoken advocate for enterprise sustainability. In October 2021, Volvo Group unveiled the first-ever vehicle made using SSAB's fossil-free steel. The machine, a massive load carrier designed for use in mining and quarrying operations, consists of more than 3000 kilograms (or over 6600 pounds) of fossil-free steel. The prototype signals a major shift in industrial manufacturing processes, since more than 70% of the weight of these heavy-duty vehicles come from steel and cast iron.
China-based Volvo Cars also has a concept in the works that would use the fossil-free steel for consumer vehicles, rather than industrial applications.
SSAB intends to become a commercial-scale supplier of decarbonized steel by 2026. The company is currently in the process of converting its Oxelösund blast furnaces into an electric arc furnace which uses the HYBRIT technology. SSAB has targeted achieving net-zero emissions by 2040, and intends to ramp-up use of fossil-free steel over the next decade.
At FourKites' recent Global Supply Chain Sustainability Summit, we hosted guests from a dozen of the world's leading companies to learn how they were using real-time visibility technology to green their supply chains.

QUALIFYING REPORT: Hamilton beats Verstappen to pole by 1.2s with epic lap in the wet
It's on days like this, when rain creates tricky driving conditions, that the great drivers come to the fore – and as if we needed further reminding, Lewis Hamilton showed us why he is arguably the greatest driver in Formula 1 history with a scintillating lap at the Red Bull Ring to beat the heir to his throne Max Verstappen to pole by a staggering 1.2s for the Styrian Grand Prix.
Wet weather raised doubts as to whether qualifying would happen at all on Saturday, with final free practice cancelled because of the treacherous conditions, but there was a window of opportunity when the rain eased to the point where the Race Director Michael Masi deemed it safe to get the session under way.
With the track remaining wet throughout, full wet Pirelli tyres were the compound of choice, and the drivers opted to fill up with a little more fuel than usual so they could complete a flurry of laps in quick succession. But there were two drivers who looked the most comfortable out there – Hamilton and Verstappen.
Qualifying Highlights: 2020 Styrian Grand Prix
The two main protagonists traded fastest laps as the session unfolded, the kind of battle for pole position that Formula 1 craves, with Hamilton holding the early upper hand.
Verstappen repeatedly complained about the poor visibility on team radio, but it didn't seem to slow him down, the Dutchman setting the fastest first sector on his final lap to raise hopes he could topple Hamilton.
But he was really fighting the car as he came through the middle sector, catching it three times as the rear snapped, but he could do nothing about his rear stepping out as he negotiated the penultimate corner, pirouetting round and ending any hopes of topping Hamilton.
FORMULA 1 PIRELLI GROSSER PREIS DER STEIERMARK 2020
1 Lewis Hamilton HAM Mercedes 1:19.273
2 Max Verstappen VER Red Bull Racing 1:20.489
3 Carlos Sainz SAI McLaren 1:20.671
4 Valtteri Bottas BOT Mercedes 1:20.701
5 Esteban Ocon OCO Renault 1:20.922
VIEW FULL RESULTS
Mercedes would have almost certainly told Hamilton what had happened to Verstappen, but he cared not. He was in the zone, lighting up the timing sheets and keeping his foot to the floor to obliterate his previous best and take pole by an extraordinary 1.2s.
There were plenty of standout performances elsewhere, Carlos Sainz – a driver who usually excels in wet conditions – hooking up a tasty lap to seal third, his best-ever qualifying position, with last weekend's race winner Valtteri Bottas fourth, in what his worst qualifying session on this track since joining Mercedes.
Esteban Ocon's start to life at Renault continued to be rosy, as he finished a brilliant fifth – Renault's best start since Monza last year, while Lando Norris, who was feeling better after suffering chest pains on Friday, qualified sixth. That'll become ninth following a three-place grid penalty for failing to slow sufficiently for yellow flags.

Alex Albon was seventh, with Pierre Gasly eighth – in what was his fourth Q3 appearance in the last six races, with Daniel Ricciardo ninth and Sebastian Vettel rounding out the top 10 in one of the most thrilling qualifying sessions in recent times.

For much of the morning, it was unclear whether we would get any running, so persistent was the rain, but the conditions eased sufficiently to allow the drivers to head out on full wets and get qualifying under way, albeit 46 minutes later than expected.
Vettel was the first out, having sat at the end of the pit lane for around four minutes at the head of the queue, waiting for the light to go green. Teams fuelled their cars heavy so the drivers could complete a series of laps, gaining confidence each time.
Romain Grosjean skated off track, before retreating to the pits, the team reporting they had a suspected water pump issue, while Alex Albon had a little spin up at Turn 3.

As conditions improved, the times tumbled, with Hamilton setting the pace. At the other end, Sergio Perez, who impressed on Friday, looked uncomfortable with the car and failed to make the cut-off.

Kimi Raikkonen also missed the cut, along with Alfa Romeo team mate Antonio Giovinazzi, who lost control when he ran wide onto the paint, and tapped the barrier rear first, bringing out the red flags. Latifi was forced to back off and therefore got knocked out, with Grosjean failing to get back out on track.
It meant Russell made it through to Q2 for the first time in his career, with Williams having their first Q2 appearance since the 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix.

Q2 - Leclerc misses the cut, as Hamilton and Verstappen impress
The rain eased further ahead of Q2, but with the track so wet, the full wet tyre was required as the drivers headed back out for another spin.
While Hamilton and Verstappen were impressive, separated by a mere tenth of a second at the front end of the field, it wasn't so smooth for Ferrari as Vettel and Leclerc fought to scrape into Q3.
Vettel just made it in 10th, but Leclerc wasn't so lucky, the Monegasque – who finished second in Austria last weekend – the first to miss the cut, a fraction ahead of Russell – who was just a tenth shy of making Q3 for the first time in his career.
Lance Stroll couldn't replicate the pace he showed in the dry, and ended up 13th, ahead of Daniil Kvyat and Kevin Magnussen. As the cars pulled in, the rain intensified, setting up some treacherous conditions for the final segment of qualifying.

Q3 – Rain intensifies to create tense final shoot-out for pole
Usually, drivers focus on just two runs in Q3 – but with the rain lashing it down, the approach this time around was to stay out on track and clock up the laps in the hope of getting some banker times in should the weather get even worse.
Hamilton and Verstappen traded fastest laps, while Ocon, Norris and Sainz showed their prowess in the wet by popping in some quality times to challenge the top five positions.
But the main focus was on Hamilton and Verstappen, the duo enduring a segment-long battle for pole position, with the Mercedes driver coming out on top to take his first pole in Austria since 2016 – which incidentally is when he last took victory at the venue.

THE KEY QUOTE
Pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton: "Honestly I am [pleased]. What a tricky day, the weather's obviously incredibly difficult out there for all of us. A lot of the time you can't even see where you're going. I had one big moment the lap before the last, a big aquaplane which definitely had my heart in my mouth but I was able to improve on the next lap, nice and clean. I love these days."
The Styrian Grand Prix kicks off at 1510 local time, which is 1210 UTC. Conditions will be completely different on Sunday, the rain making way for warm and sunny conditions which have been a fixture in Austria since the F1 family arrived last week.
Hamilton is in a great position, but Red Bull showed last week at the same venue that they can have the pace to challenge Mercedes. It'll be interesting to see whether the Silver Arrows have overcome the gearbox issues which plagued them at the Red Bull Ring last weekend.

This article was written in response to an invitation from Sandie Sedgbeer to participate in the "No B.S. Spiritual Book Club."
It is a deep and meaningful process to revisit the most significant books of one's life. For me, the process of creating my top-ten list of beloved books has revealed the infallible wholeness of the spiritual journey. Retracing my steps from one book to the next, I see now that a guiding intelligence has been at work all along, leading me to experiences and discoveries that would, over time, fill in more of the picture of who I am.
I began the process by listing book titles that came to mind and intuitively calibrating, for each one, both the level of its consciousness transmission and the extent of its influence on my journey. Using this data I arranged the titles in descending order, with the highest-calibrating books at the top. Over a period of several weeks, I added books, updated the calibrations, and reordered the list until a final set of ten had emerged.
Once the list was finalized, I started to re-read portions of the first book, God Speaks: The Theme of Creation and Its Purpose, in order to reconnect with the feeling of the words and the consciousness behind them. When I sensed that I had become the book sufficiently, I invited words to arise in my mind and fingertips with the intention of transmitting the essence of God Speaks and its impact on me over the years. During moments of pause, I calibrated each sentence, and all of the sentences together, then made adjustments until there was a sense of integrity, clarity, and settling.
Continuing with the experiment, I used the same method for the second book on the list, I Am That: Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. I re-read sections until I became that book as well, and once again I invited words to flow, calibrated what I had written, and revised – at times adding words, at times chiseling away – until I felt the subtle sense of yes. With two transmissions on the page, I attuned to the new whole and made further adjustments, iteratively, until the two had synthesized into a joint transmission. I repeated the same procedure for each book on the list, until all ten books had their calibrated individual transmissions, and all ten together had their calibrated transmission.
Although it was not my intention to create such an elaborate protocol, by staying with the process for the better part of a week I discovered the following:
One can become a book.
A book is therefore a living entity of consciousness.
Multiple books can be brought together in a way that synthesizes their transmissions into something of a higher order.
It is possible to realize the Source of these books through becoming one with all of them as one.
Having merged into each of these books, and all of them as a whole, I see now that they are all expressions of one Great Work, written by the same Author. Moreover, this Author is who I truly am, deep down, and who each of us truly is.
I invite you to relax and receive the gifts of the ten beloved books presented below.
1. God Speaks: The Theme of Creation and Its Purpose
By Meher Baba
Soon after I began exploring and mapping realms and levels of consciousness, a friend recommended God Speaks. This book is the result of decades of enlightened investigation by Meher Baba into how reality works, and how the human soul evolves on the journey back to its source. The utterly unique feature of God Speaks is a set of detailed charts that portray the mechanisms of evolution from the perspective of an avatar. The book also offers a comprehensive explanation of how the "original whim" of God to know through experience initiates a process of involution into matter, and evolution through a multitude of incarnations, paths, planes, roles, and states to a state that is "Beyond" and yet ultimately enriched by the sum of human experience. In this profound and ultra-coherent cosmology, God takes a journey, or so it seems, and we are all divine incarnations along the way. Through the power and coherence of Meher Baba's transmission, God Speaks activates deeper dimensions of the human being so that we might all come to realize the "I Am God" state in human form. When the student is ready, this book offers a clear pathway to God-realization.
2. I Am That: Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
By Nisargadatta Maharaj, Sudhaker S. Dikshit (editor), Maurice Frydman (translator)
I Am That is a compilation of conversations between Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj and his students, in which Nisargadatta speaks with a lucidity that is almost shocking in its depth and directness. The book offers a path of self-realization through repeatedly emphasizing the recognition that one can be neither the objects of perception nor any conceivable identity in the mind. The true self is beyond the mind altogether, and the way to realize this true self is through direct self-knowing rather than through activity, experience, or knowledge of things. From I Am That, I learned to peel away innumerable layers of experience, knowledge, and identity as a way to know directly what I am. Whilst God Speaks provides a path that builds up to God-realization, I Am That removes every illusion to reveal one's true nature, as it is primordially. As this book is also a transmission of enlightened consciousness, behind the words there is a kind of frequency that entrains the reader into an ever-more-awakened state. After reading both God Speaks and I Am That, one is guaranteed to have a richer appreciation of the approaches to spiritual realization.
3. A Course in Miracles: The Text
By Dr. Helen Schucman (scribe)
A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is a channeled work that offers a highly effective path of nondual spirituality based on the power of forgiveness. At a time when my identities and ways of being had largely fallen to pieces, I purchased a volume of ACIM that combined the Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers into a hefty 1333-page tome. As my mind was reasonably intelligent, and also arrogant, I seemed to require this substantial body of wisdom, rigorous and relentless in its logic, to exhaust my mental processes, dissolve my judgments, and unify the shards of being as I surrendered repeatedly through forgiveness. ACIM was also one of the first channeled works I had read, and I delighted in both the beauty and the potency of the language. I found it helpful that the words and concepts had their roots in Christianity, and yet the Christian feel is a reason why ACIM will not be an on-ramp for everyone. Nevertheless, the teachings are fundamentally unitive, and as such ACIM can lead one into the mystical territory at the heart of all religions and spiritual paths.
4. A Course in Miracles: Workbook for Students
The Workbook for Students provides a rigorous 365-day journey for practicing the principles of A Course in Miracles. Students are encouraged to study one lesson each day for a whole year. Many students of "The Course" work through the lessons more than once, and some study the Workbook year after year. Somehow I knew that this was the way of liberation for me, and I devoted myself to a full year of spiritual study and practice. In retrospect I see that ACIM created a strong foundation for the journey that was still to come. At the end of the year I read, in the Epilogue, that "[t]his course is a beginning, not an end" and "[n]o more specific lessons are assigned, for there is no more need of them." From that point on, an inner guide would be my companion on the path, and that has indeed been my experience. Although ACIM has receded over the years as my primary spiritual reference, whenever I open the book to reconnect with the teachings I am delighted by their clarity and thoroughness, and new insights are revealed. I have found the ACIM material to be an inexhaustible gift of the infinite.
5. Siddhartha
By Hermann Hesse
Siddhartha found me two years after I completed the Workbook for Students. By then I had read quite a few spiritual classics, but this book touched a deeper longing in my soul to go all the way on the journey of enlightenment. The overall consciousness transmission of this story is in the range of peace on the Hawkins Scale of Consciousness – at least as I calibrate such things – and peace was my prevailing experience while reading Siddhartha. At that point I was in one of my renunciation periods, and I related to the protagonist's swings between solitude and engagement with the world. Although I knew the true nature of phenomena to be illusory, in my rejection of money and human foibles, for instance, I had yet to see the whole of my life and being as a beautiful, unique expression of divinity. That enlightenment comes after one embraces life in its totality is, for me, the profound teaching of Siddhartha. By the end of the book, the consciousness transmission has entered the enlightened range, and Siddhartha's final awakening by the river is conveyed with a power that can lift ripe souls into that same territory.
6. The Experience of No-Self: A Contemplative Journey
By Bernadette Roberts
The Experience of No-Self came to my attention in a dharma talk by Adyashanti. What I love about this book are the detailed descriptions of the author's mystical experiences of dissolving into the emptiness of existence and of the complete ending of self-consciousness, in which profound truths are revealed. Bernadette Roberts writes that she "came upon a permanent state in which there was no self, no higher self, true self, or anything that could be called a self" and discovered, experientially, that beyond union with God there is THAT which the personal self and the personal God both dissolve into – God beyond union, neither personal nor impersonal. Roberts' discovery that what truly is abides beyond all notions of self, including the true self of union with God, strengthened my resolve to continue with my own radical investigations. Another aspect of The Experience of No-Self that continues to resonate deeply is the intimate connection between Roberts' experiences and her immersions in the natural world. Though not the main focus of the book, one of my biggest takeaways is the great extent to which nature is a spiritual teacher that will carry us beyond ourselves and into the unknown splendor of our true nature.
7. The Precious Treasury of the Way of Abiding
By Longchen Rabjam
The approaches to true nature are many and varied. For some, the pinnacle path includes the teachings of Longchenpa, a 14th century manifestation of wisdom whose works are revered for their clarity and directness. The Precious Treasury of the Way of Abiding is the final book in The Seven Treasuries of Longchenpa, and it is one of the most delicious, and most potent, treatises of enlightened mind that I have encountered. On the first page, Longchenpa goes straight to the heart of the matter, stating that "the consummate meaning of the heart essence is that of ineffability, openness, spontaneous presence, and oneness." Thereupon he begins to unfold with exactitude each of these qualities and their implications, leading one to the decisive experience of their meaning. The language is utterly pristine, poetic, and skillful. In my experience, The Precious Treasury of the Way of Abiding operates simultaneously on two levels: with great precision, the words surgically free the reader from the tangle of mental concepts while the direct transmission infusing the words opens a "trap door" to awakeness. Stay with this book, allow the profound meanings to be revealed, and you will be rewarded.
8. The Autobiography of a Yogi
By Paramahansa Yogananda
Paramahansa Yogananda is one of the most important spiritual figures of the 20th century. His work bridged East and West, and introduced millions to meditation and the path of self-realization. Yogananda's autobiography recounts a life filled with mystical encounters and remarkable accomplishments. To read it is to enter a world in which miracles are ordinary occurrences and communion with the Divine follows naturally from the principles of yogic sciences. The book is also replete with extraordinary instances of people who bilocate, levitate, live without food or sleep, or demonstrate resurrection. I was inspired, and humbled, to discover that such abilities and possibilities truly exist in the world. And yet these intimations of a greater reality are secondary: The real objective is union with God, and this possibility is available to all. The Autobiography of a Yogi introduces a method, Kriya Yoga, that steadily opens the practitioner to the limitless being that transcends mortality. Through Yogananda, Kriya Yoga emerged from secrecy as a gift to humanity, to support our upliftment from patterns of self-destruction into the light of self-realization. The Autobiography of a Yogi is a magical read, an empowering revelation, and a treasure for the ages.
9. The Way of Mastery ~ Part III: The Way of Knowing
By Shanti Christo Foundation
The Way of Mastery is a series of three volumes channeled from Jeshua. There are essential resonances between these books and A Course in Miracles, which is channeled from Jesus. In my experience, The Way of Mastery takes one further into the enlightenment process. In The Way of Knowing, Jeshua offers "the very rock bottom, most fundamental core" in Lesson 33: There Is Only God and You Are That. He poses the question, "Would you be willing to simply be God?" and follows up with "There is only God. [Y]ou have received information only from your Self—God. … Jeshua ben Joseph has been a guise, a disguise, chosen of me, to present myself to you because you have required it." Thereafter this teaching acknowledges its own limitation and offers an invitation: "[T]he final step, beyond even The Way of Knowing, is to release resistance to creation itself, and learn to show up as God in individuated form." To live our true nature, in original playfulness as the ultimate One, we "simply give up being identified as a separate self still struggling to know the truth." The Way of Mastery will lead us toward this end, to the very threshold of recognizing ourselves to be the ultimate reality.
10. Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior
By David R. Hawkins
Power vs. Force is in some ways the most pivotal book that I have read. The thesis is that there is a method for knowing the degree of truth of any idea, substance, or system, and we can choose to live according to what calibrates most highly. This discovery opens a path by which we can become more conscious and support the awakening of many others. The book shares a framework for understanding consciousness – the Hawkins Scale of Consciousness – which describes the levels of consciousness that humans tend to express. Applying a form of kinesiology to yes-no questions, Dr. Hawkins discovered that many people are capable of calibrating these levels with accuracy. Once enough people are using their ability to discern truth and live with greater awareness, the stage is set for a radical reinvention of human society. The most significant contribution of Power vs. Force to my life is that it inspired me to discover "Resonance Mapping," which is the method I use for calibrating truth and consciousness. I have cultivated the discipline of calibrating nearly every decision for truth and the selecting only the options that calibrate most highly. The outcome, for me, has been a profound experience of flow and a clear, joyful spiritual unfoldment. In my heart I know that this is a possibility for each and every one of us. Power vs. Force provides a means by which we can choose higher consciousness and, together, create an enlightened world.

Sir Richard's brings one-for-one charity giving to condoms -- and one CU-Boulder dorm
| Business |
Michael Roberts | November 29, 2011 | 11:27am
On Wednesday evening, a handful of CU-Boulder students will be trying to improve the planet -- by handing out condoms.
But not just any condoms: Sir Richard's Condoms, from a Boulder company that's bringing the one-for-one charity model associated with TOMS Shoes to love gloves.
Jim Moscou, the CEO of Sir Richard's, calls himself a "recovering journalist," with a résumé that includes work as a contributing editor for the media-industry mag Editor & Publisher. And while the journalism biz is struggling these days, he definitely sees condoms as a growth industry.
"There's a general sentiment that we're still using our father's father's condom," he says. "You look at companies like Trojan, which are selling this really sophomoric approach to its use. So we saw an opportunity in the marketplace to build a brand that's much more relevant for condom users today. It's a company built by a group of creative social entrepreneurs and designers who asked, 'Can we build a better condom company that does good in the world from its inception?'"
Hence, the one-for-one model, in which Sir Richard's promises to donate one condom in developing countries for each one sold. The need is great, Moscou points out. "There is a huge global shortage in the access of condoms," he notes, with less than 17 percent of the contraceptive needs met by organizations such as the United Nations Population Fund. He points out that donations for such services fell by more than 50 percent between 2000 and 2008.
As far as Moscou knows, the Sir Richard's approach is the first time one-for-one has been used with condoms, "and what's so neat about that is, it has such a direct impact. We know that when people have access to condoms, it reduces disease, assists with better family planning and makes for a better world."
Page down to read about a Sir Richard's giveaway scheduled for tomorrow. This concept naturally appeals to college students, who Moscou says began contacting the company when its products first became available earlier this year. From this outreach, Sir Richard's has developed a so-called "envoy" program, in which students on 25 campuses around the country, including CU-Boulder, volunteer to distribute condoms and spread the firm's theme of responsibility in the bedroom and beyond.
The concept definitely appeals to Sean DePaula, a CU undergrad. As a project for a writing-and-rhetoric class, he and several fellow students will distribute Sir Richard's condoms in the lobby of the Williams Village North dormitory from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. tomorrow, November 30.
"We have no affiliation with the company," DePaula says, "but everyone we've talked to has been really receptive to the message. We're encouraging freshmen to use a condom each and every time they have sex. Some people might consider a condom to be a barrier, but it's really a way of bringing couples together through enhanced trust. If you know your partner cares about protecting you, an increased level of trust comes along with it."
Sir Richard's is supplying the condoms for DePaula's project, as well as coupons and stickers featuring their unusual plaid design -- a look intended to differentiate the firm's products from those of competitors and create an image meant to appeal equally to men and women.
Even as DePaula and company are handing out condoms, Moscou notes that Sir Richard's will receive its final count of sales for the year to date. At that point, an equivalent order will be shipped to Haiti under the auspices of Partners in Health, an organization with which the company is partnering for distribution and more. "We don't pretend to be experts on Haiti," Moscou concedes. "But Partners in Health are experts. We've reached out to them and other people there -- artists, local social activists -- with humility and respect, and said, 'Help us.' And that's what they're doing.
"We're trying to change the culture there and here," he adds. "We're trying to say, 'Here's something cool that will resonate in Haiti the same way it does in the U.S.'"
And, presumably, in the lobby of a Boulder dorm.

WSJ.com: Want Your Old Job?
January 20, 2011 by The Career Project
If you've been laid off and your former employer is hiring again, you might see the news as a chance to get back to work at your old firm. But first it's important to consider whether it's a good idea—and whether the skills you bring are what the company needs now.
The odds of getting an old job back are good if you were let go simply for budgetary reasons and the company outlook has been improving.
But before you get too excited about trying to return, do a self-assessment—and be honest. "Sometimes there is some selectivity in who is laid off," says Jerald Jellison, a professor of social psychology at the University of Southern California who specializes in the workplace. He recommends asking yourself whether you created any bad feelings when you left or while you were working at the company. Was your work up to par? Was your role valued in better economic times?
You also should consider whether or not you feel a renewed commitment to the work you'd be doing, says Mr. Jellison. "I liken it to returning to an old flame. Is it really a good idea? Do you really want to be there?"
What the Company Needs?
Next, consider what the company will need as conditions improve. If you were a marketing manager, figure out how you could return with a new angle of attack that could help make the company more competitive. If you've enrolled in any courses or have time to sign up for a webinar that will bump up your skills, highlight these efforts in a cover letter.
Keep in mind that even if your old firm is starting to rebuild and your position—something like it—is resurrected, you might not get the job. Approach the application process and interview as if you were a new candidate. Fine-tune your résumé, do research that shows you haven't fallen behind on what the company has been doing, prepare for the interview and be ready to answer tough questions.
And before you apply, contact former co-workers who have kept their jobs to assess how things are now relative to when you were there. Get up to speed on any other news that can help you understand key personnel changes or staffing needs, says Ruth K. Liebermann, managing director of HR Insourcing in Boston. "Contact your former boss and let him [or her] know that you're interested," says Ms. Liebermann. "Tell your boss what new initiatives you plan to bring, with the benefit of hindsight, and what new energy you have coming back."
No Grudges
When you contact your former boss or human-resources department, assure them that you harbor no bad feelings about being laid off and are eager to return to work. If you're trying to persuade a new boss to bring you back, focus on your accomplishments and get references to back up your claims.
If there are no full-time positions available, consider asking to work on a contract basis. The pay is often higher and, though there are no benefits, the job may eventually transition into a full-time position.
Don't be discouraged if you get through the interview process and find out the job now pays less than you earned before. "You have to consider the market conditions," says Paul Glen, a management consultant in Los Angeles. "Everybody is taking pay cuts and losing benefits. That will change as the economy improves."

Insulin stimulates glucose transport by recruiting the GLUT4 glucose transporter to the plasma membrane. Here we use total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy to show that two trafficking motifs of GLUT4, a FQQI motif and a TELE-based motif, target GLUT4 to specialized vesicles that accumulate adjacent to the plasma membrane of unstimulated adipocytes. Mutations of these motifs redistributed GLUT4 to transferrin-containing recycling vesicles adjacent to the plasma membrane, and the degree of redistribution correlated with the increases of the GLUT4 mutants in the plasma membrane of basal adipocytes. These results establish that GLUT4 defaults to recycling endosomes when trafficking to specialized vesicles is disrupted, supporting the hypothesis that the specialized vesicles are derived from an endosomal compartment. Insulin stimulates both the accumulation of GLUT4 in the evanescent field and the fraction of this GLUT4 that is inserted into the plasma membrane. Unexpectedly, these two steps are differentially affected by the development of insulin resistance. We ascribe this selective insulin resistance to inherent differences in the sensitivities of GLUT4 vesicle accumulation and insertion into the plasma membrane to insulin. Differences in insulin sensitivities of various processes may be a general mechanism for the development of the physiologically important phenomenon of selective insulin resistance.

Now it's visible in your program's list. Try opening it.
Now the program is open and your child can start using it freely.
An important safety note: Many Windows programs allow access to the file explorer. This means that children can delete important files from the "Open" or "Save as" commands. If you don't want that to happen, it's best to not approve programs like this.


Traditional law and economic analysis considers how laws directly incentivize socially optimal behaviors. Meanwhile, a growing theoretical literature posits that beyond deterrence or incentives, laws also communicate normative judgments that can have effects unanticipated by classical predictions. This Article presents empirical evidence supporting the broader legal theory that laws can express social values, leading to shifts in social norms. Using data on adolescent peer networks in the United States, I find that where anti-obesity policies are stricter, social stigma increases for obese girls, though obesity rates do not necessarily decrease. These results are robust and consistent with a model in which the obese, in an anti-obesity policy environment, are negatively perceived as exerting less effort in their health than their non-obese peers. I explore implications of this stigma.


In May, the first plate was processed on a normalizing line supplied by Primetals Technologies to Mexican steel producer Altos Hornos de México S.A.B de C.V. (AHMSA). The line installed in the Monclova works, originally designed for 200,000 metric tons per year had already been ordered from Primetals Technologies in October 2013. A supplementary order received in 2014 included a capacity increase to 300,000 metric tons per year. Right from the processing of the first plate, most components of the line operated in fully automatic mode.
AHMSA operates the largest integrated steelworks in Mexico and is the country's only producer of heavy plate. The company generates more than 5 million metric tons of crude steel every year. The company primarily produces flat rolled steel, including hot- and cold-rolled coils, heavy plates, tin-coated and tin-free sheets, and a variety of heavy sections.
The normalizing line processes carbon steel plates produced by a Steckel rolling mill also supplied by Primetals Technologies. Normalizing results in a homogenous, finely grained structure while simultaneously improving the tensile strength, ductility and weldability of the plates. The normalizing line processes plates with thicknesses between 4.5 and 50.8 millimeters and widths of 1,500 to 3,048 millimeters. The plates can be between 3,000 and 16,000 millimeters long. An automatic gantry crane lifts the plates onto the loading table where their length is measured. Following this, they pass through a blasting machine for descaling. Then the plates are brought to the required temperature in a nitrogen atmosphere furnace before being subsequently cooled on a series of cooling tables. At the outgoing end of the line are a marking machine, and a plasma cutter for taking samples. Finally the plates are unloaded with the help of an automatic gantry crane.
Primetals Technologies undertook the engineering the normalizing line, supplied all plant components and was responsible for construction and start-up supervision. The entire electrical equipment including energy distribution and basic automation (Level 1) and process automation (Level 2) also constituted parts of the order.


We'd done some perusing of flooring options for basement rooms, and settled on an engineered wood floor from Kahrs. Installed as a floating floor (i.e. not attached to the sub-floor or walls), it can handle the temperature and moisture variation that comes with the territory. And because it has a veneer of solid wood on top, it doesn't look like plastic or feel fake. In fact, you can refinish it, just like any other hardwood floor.
So we pulled up the wall-to-wall carpet that had some stains and some mystery lumps underneath, and were thankful to find that the carpet pad wasn't glued down particularly well.
It did take some scraping to get the glue up, but it went pretty quickly.
There was some bumpiness in the concrete, and so we diligently watched plenty of YouTube videos about self-leveling compound (SLC). No link because none stood out as particularly helpful – turns out, there's not much to it. Apply primer, mix SLC according to the directions on the bag (one bag at a time) and pour.
I tried to cheat a bit as shown below – there was an area of the floor, about 4′ x 8′, that was around 1/2-3/4″ higher than the rest of the room. To bring the rest of the floor up to that height would have been quite expensive. A 50 lb bag of SLC runs about $35, and only covers 12 sq ft at 1/2″ thickness, so we would have needed 20 or more bags. Maybe we'll regret not just spending the money, but for now, we soldier on.
After the SLC, we put down a moisture barrier of 6 mil poly sheets. Conveniently, Lowe's sells 250 sq ft rolls, which fit more or less exactly.
After the plastic sheet comes a layer of padding. We chose cork sheets, because they also provide a bit of insulation. Since this is a basement room, anything we could do to make the floor a little warmer under foot seemed wise.
After the cork, it was time to start putting down the planks, which click together along the long edges and the ends.
It wasn't hard to trim the door jambs to accommodate the flooring – just use a cutoff to guide the saw.
You might remember earlier when I said we tried to cheat. Here's where the timing came back to bite us – there were a couple areas where the planks spanned a dip in the sub-floor, and the floor bounces just a little bit when you walk on those areas. End of the world? Hardly, but it's one of those things that would irk me every time I walked through the room.
Unfortunately, we were out of time as we were departing for our travels the next day. So we moved the furniture back into the room and took off.
Sometime soon we'll move all the furniture out again, pull up the floor (marking each plank so they go back in order), shim up the low spots with extra cork underlayment, replace the floor, and then replace the furniture. No big deal, right?

Evangelical Bible colleges are colleges that usually have two primary focuses. The first is that these colleges focus on preparing students for ministry and church leadership in Evangelical churches. They often have a distinct leaning towards teaching Pauline doctrine, the second is missions. Pauline doctrine focuses on the works and teachings of the Apostle Paul and his travels and teachings as an evangelizer for Christ.
The tenants of this theological base are being born again through faith in Jesus and through the change of heart known as repentance and the necessity to spread the teachings of Christ to others. However, not all evangelist churches focus as much on certain aspects of these teachings, they can be considered fundamentals of their theological teachings. Historically Evangelical theology is part of the basis for the Reformation.
Evangelical Bible colleges prepare students to lead and minister in Evangelical churches which are often loose knit non-denominational churches without a core hierarchy of international oversight. Therefore, any church that self-identifies as Evangelical falls under this general outline. These Bible colleges often have certificate, associate and bachelor's degree programs which may or may not be nationally accredited.
Alternatively, check out all the lists of Bible colleges by denomination.


Arriving in February is a trio of new releases on the Cruz Del Sur Music label. First up is the arrival of Sacred Leather and their full-length debut album "Ultimate Force." Right from the opening chords of the title-song, "Ultimate Force," you'd think you stepped back in time with the song's classic metal sound. They keep you locked in with the 1980's heavy metal scene, with songs like "Watcher" and "Power Thurst" as you are transported back to a simpler time in metal music. Their new album also contains two epic music numbers, the 8-minute power ballad "Dream Searcher" and the nine-plus minute album closer "The Lost Destructor/Priest Of The Undoer" as you can hear the band's influences throughout their new album. To find out more about Sacred Leather and their new release "Ultimate Force," please visit their Facebook page at facebook.com/leathersacredleather.
Next up is the latest release from the doom metal band Apostle Of Solitude. Their new album titled "From Gold To Ash" features 7-tracks that carry that dark heavy metal sound, filled with chugging guitar riffs and pounding drums. The album opens with the instrumental "Overlord" as you get introduced to the band's sound. They continue with the slow burn of "Ruination Be Thy Name" and the sonic buzz of "Keeping The Lighthouse," before reaching the epic, 10-minute progressive metal piece "My Heart Is Leaving Here." They wrap up their new album with the slow, steady pace of "Grey Farewell." To find out more about Apostle Of Solitude and their latest release "From Gold To Ash," please visit their Facebook page at facebook.com/apostleofsolitude.
Last, but not least is the latest release from Old Mother Hell with their self-titled debut album. This German trio have already caught the attention of magazines and radio over in Europe and now look to invade the U.S. with their new 6-song album. They begin with the high-energy of "Another War" as their sound has a universal heavy metal sound that will simply draw you in with its power and intensity. The album continues with the heavy pounding rhythm of "Mountain" and the guitar driven chaos of "Narcotic Overthrow." Old Mother Hell wrap up their new release with the heavy metal anthem "Kneel To No God" and the nearly nine-minute, epic piece "Old Mother Hell." To find out more about Old Mother Hell and their self-titled debut album, please visit oldmotherhell.de.

Encyclopedia > Minicomputer
Minicomputer
The term minicomputer names the now largely obsolete class of multi-user computers which made up the middle range of the computing spectrum, in between the largest multi-user systems (mainframe computers) and the smallest single-user systems (microcomputers or personal computers)
The term evolved in the 1960s to describe "small" server-class computers, usually taking up one or a few cabinets, compared with mainframes that would usually fill a room. They cost far less than mainframes.
As microcomputers developed in the 1970s and 80s, minicomputers filled the mid-range area between micros and mainframes. Microcomputers were single-user, relatively simple machines running simple program-launcher operating systems like CP/M or MS-DOS, while minis were much more powerful systems that ran full multi-user, multitasking operating systems like VMS and Unix. The classical mini was a 16-bit computer, while the emerging higher performance 32-bit minis were often referred to as superminis.
As of 2001, the term "minicomputer" is no longer used for the mid-range computer systems, most of which are now referred to simply as servers. This has come about as a result of several factors, including:
dumb terminals were replaced by networked personal computers, and therefore, users no longer interacted directly with the "backend computers" - the programs run on their PC did.
Several versions of Unix now run on the Intel architecture, including Solaris, Linux and FreeBSD.
The Windows series of operating systems includes server versions that support multitasking and other features required for mid-range uses, beginning with Windows NT.
Hewlett-Packard now refers to its HP3000 series of computers as "servers" rather than as "minicomputers".
A number of pioneering computer companies first built minicomputers, such as DEC, Data General, Hewlett-Packard, and IBM.
Today's personal computers are descendants of the microcomputers, but architecturally their CPUs and operating systems have evolved largely by integrating features from minicomputers.
The class of minicomputers includes:
DEC PDP
DEC VAX
Data General Nova
IBM AS400 and RS-6000
HP 3000[?] Series
Norsk Data Nord-1, Nord-10 and Nord-100
Prime[?] 50-series[?]
