You could not be more wrong about #12. Are you serious? Let's start with Minn. That year was ateloubsly sick for any QB & WR Combo until Moss and Brady last year. It was not 12's fault his kicker decided to miss his first FG of the year in the NFC Championship Game. Not to mention 12 doesn't play defense. So you can't blame him for giving up those points in that game. He and Moss carried that team for real. Then lets talk about his years as an eagles. Fog bowl, can't blame 12 for dropping the go ahead TD while being wide open in the End Zone. That honor belongs to that overrated stiff Keith Jackson. Oh wait, what about the time our "great" defense turned in a clunker against Jim Everett and the rams? Made them look like the 07 Colts. Don't get me wrong, 12 share's in the blame and he was a bit of a whack job. But there was a reason for 3 MVP's. Randall was the truth. I'd take him over 5 anyday. Not to mention the bigger whack job of a coach he had. Who gave him no offensive help other than byars. By the time he got the help in Fred B and Calvin W. Our Defense was trash. Reggie was gone, Jerome died, Eric Allen cashed in on FA. B&E was showing signs of wear and tear. Come on man...If you are a true Eagles fan, and watched Randall every week and you're being totally honest with yourself and not blaming him because the media told you to. You truely have to consider him for the HOF. You look at pure talent, the numbers, he's got to be in. First ballet, maybe not. But definitely in.
Moose stew certainly soudns intriguing and like a dish I would love to taste! Your presentation of your Honey Lime Beet salad is very pretty and elegant, I really like the way it looks!Looking forward to your July posts!Have a wonderful weekend!
Right on point Rachel.One other idea would to have this party at home and have make-up, hair supplies and dress-up clhotes on hand that Jordyn and her friends can use to create their own looks. Or do some paper bag dramatics where the girls are split into groups and given a paper bag with wacky and fun costume pieces and props that they have to use to dress each other with and create a little skit or tableau for the rest of the party. You might also consider hiring your favorite teenager, babysitter or young neighbor (or two or three) to serve as the make-up artists and hairstylists. It seems a little excessive to be paying salon professionals for a child's birthday party. You could even have someone on hand as the photographer to take fun polaroids of the girls which they could take home as party favors (or even decorate as an art project during the party). I don't think it's unreasonable to have a birthday party that involves make-up and dress-up. I think the key to keeping it age appropriate is to make sure the goal isn't to have all the girls looking like pageant contestants before they go home.


CCS is thrilled to have been awarded a grant in the amount of $15,000 by The Winnipeg Foundation to re-shingle the roof of our home.
The gift, known as a Community Grant, is the second to be received by CCS. In 2011, you will recall that we received $10,000 towards the purchase of 2 'SMART' boards for our teaching purposes. Members of the Central Council recently met the President/CEO of The Winnipeg Foundation, Richard Frost, in March of this year during their annual face-to-face meeting in Winnipeg.


World Vision UK has joined an emergency DEC appeal backed by 14 of Britain's leading aid agencies.
The members of the DEC (Disaster Emergency Committee) launched the joint fundraising appeal today to raise vital funds for the survivors of the Indonesia earthquake and tsunami. Efforts are being accelerated to deliver aid and supplies to the 200,000 people in urgent need of food, water and shelter. More than 1400 people have been confirmed dead since the disaster struck last week, and 65,000 homes destroyed.
DEC chief executive Saleh Saeed said, "DEC member charities and their local partners are working closely with the Indonesian authorities to get aid to those who urgently need it. They are helping survivors to cope with the trauma of the last few days. As the full scale of the disaster unfolds, they are providing emergency relief and are ready to help devastated communities to rebuild their lives.
Since the DEC launched 65 years ago, they have raised more than £1.5billion to help people devastated by conflict and natural disasters.
World Vision was among the first to arrive in the disaster zone, and has now set up water points and emergency toilet facilities. We have also distributed emergency shelters, and hygiene kits to stop disease.
Tim Pilkington, World Vision UK's chief executive said: "The full extent of the disaster is only now becoming clear. Thousands of families desperately need food, clean water, medicine and shelter. By pooling our expertise and people power as members of the DEC, we can reach those in need quicker and more effectively.

Ann Ramsay wins National Disability Rights Award
A life-changing accident in 2009 left PEI school bus driver Ann Ramsay with paralysis of the lower body. Ramsay retrained and went back to work as a receptionist. She also added disability rights activist to her already significant union work. Honored for her strength and resilience, Ramsay is the recipient of the CUPE 2015 National Disability Rights Award (for) Activism.
In accepting the award, Ramsay told convention delegates that she is "humbled and honoured," by the recognition. "But there are so many people who deserve a huge thanks for supporting my work advocating for disability rights in the workplace." She included former CUPE National President Paul Moist, CUPE PEI President Lori McKay, her CUPE national representative, coworkers and "most of all, all of you, CUPE members, who in your own locals support the work of disability rights advocates."
When the accident happened, Ramsay was an active and engaged member of CUPE 1770. Working with the union, coworkers and the employer, for Ann's accommodation in the workplace meant retraining, changing jobs and joining a different CUPE level.
In 2010 Ramsay joined the CUPE National Persons With Disabilities Committee. She currently serves as committee co-chair. She is also member of CUPE P.E.I.'s Equality Committee and has presented on disability rights at the CUPE P.E.I. Convention, to the CUPE Division Executive. Ramsay is also the face for a powerful poster that was part of CUPE's "Solidarity of Abilities" campaign. A strong advocate for Duty to Accommodate training, Ramsay has helped to organize workshops in her division on the topic.
Ramsay closed her remarks with a saying for gratitude. "A true friend knows your weakness…recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities," she said.

Wallace Chung Is Married and a Father?
By joanna on April 27, 2013 in Hook-ups & Break-ups, NEWS
In the twenty years since Wallace Chung (鍾漢良) debuted in the entertainment industry, he has always kept details about his personal life under wraps. However, recent rumors have begun to spread that he married his long-time girlfriend in Taiwan, and that the two already have a child. At a recent press conference, Wallace refused to respond to these rumors, but did not deny them directly.
A few years ago, it was rumored that Wallace was dating a girl from Taiwan, and that their relationship had been going on for several years. According to reports at the time, Wallace's girlfriend was originally a fan of his and worked at the same business premises where his music studio, Cornucopia Music, is located. Reports also said that Wallace had purchased property in Taipei's Hsinyi District, although he always kept a low profile when returning to Taiwan, thus ensuring that the relationship remained a secret.
Although Wallace never admitted that he was in a relationship, the rumors have since grown to claim that he and his girlfriend secretly tied the knot, that he is now a father, and that she owns a bread store in eastern Taipei.
At a recent press conference for his movie Drug War <毒戰>, Wallace seemed slightly nervous when reporters asked if he planned to have a family and kids. "I definitely want to," he replied. "Only then will life be happy. But today, let's talk first about the movie Drug War."
Further inquiries about the rumors were evaded in a similar way, with Wallace saying that his "personal matters aren't important" and that they ought to discuss the movie. He also refused to reply to or refute the claims that his wife owned a bread store. However, he did deny that he owned property in Taiwan.
Since Wallace is now under the management company of Johnnie To (杜琪峰), who is directing Drug War, reporters asked Johnnie what he would do if an artist signed with his company and then got married and had children. Johnnie jokingly replied, "That's all right. You can have whatever you want, as long as it's not cancer." He also added, "It's fine to have a personal life, as long as you don't do anything bad."

Why the most actors always hide his marriage?? Wallace Chung has to know that his fans always support him. We're his fans. We're so glad see he found someone special and has married with one child but we're so disappointed know he lie to us. Just tell the truth and don't lie anymore.

Unfortunately, not all fans are sane and will support their idol that way. Not getting any younger so it's good to know he's married and have a kid if the rumor is true.

HeTieShou says:
Wallace did admit that he has dated through the years so I would not be shocked at all if this is true. If she was formerly a fan, then in some rare cases it can be possible for a fan to end up with their idol but is it extremely rare. Congrats to him and hope that he can openly admit it so that he does not have to hide here and there and can have more freedom. He is already at that age so I am sure many would support him and will be happy for him.

A letter to Sheffield and to those who will join Doc/Fest in 2020
Early Bird Pass £239 + VAT

Stay up to date with all Doc/Fest Events
Our Festival Director Cíntia Gil announces her vision and film programme strands for 2020 edition of Doc/Fest:
I joined Doc/Fest in November 2019. I come from Lisbon Portugal and immediately felt this corner of Yorkshire to be a home away from home. Sheffield is a unique city with a strong heritage forged by working people. It is also a city that has embraced culture and creativity with a population that challenges the status quo politically, economically and socially. My view of Sheffield is therefore one of admiration: the dignity of a city and its populace that has retained an air of freedom and rebellion in our present times. The generosity of a city like Sheffield that welcomes so many migrants, students and artists is admirable. I feel thankful and inspired by this and it is these qualities of the city and the Sheffield people that make it the ideal home for Doc/Fest.
As a film programmer my passion is showing films and art to people that provoke encounters, discussions and (hopefully) result in meaningful experiences. I believe cinema can have a transformative experience and have a deep trust in the people as a collective force for change. My experience of the UK is of a country going through a critical moment and of a city with a strong history of resistance and a surprisingly resilient culture. A city that has six cinemas working with 35mm projectors says something about a population: many cities have thrown these to the wasteland in the pursuit of the new. Doc/Fest is a film and arts festival that gathers filmmakers, practitioners, artists, children, and people from diverse backgrounds into a common task: to imagine life and a view of the world through the lens, to critically discuss it and take ownership of it. A film and arts festival is an opportunity for change. It is not about judging one another or producing rules and norms, it is about questioning rules and norms and questioning ourselves. It is about considering filmic art as a critical tool and taking responsibility for developing meaning through it. It is about listening and togetherness. A festival is also a place to celebrate our human capacity to welcome the unknown, create the unexpected - in collaboration.
It is with these values in mind that the Sheffield Doc/Fest's team will programme the 2020 festival. With a passion to share and discuss films and multi-disciplinary arts with our audiences. We will not programme to show a simplified world, but rather to welcome audiences join us in trying to make sense and understand it. We will not only show masterpieces and strong works of art, but welcome works and makers that highlight fragility, doubts, problems and fears. The bravest works are those which do not hide and defend - just like people. On the contrary, they take fears and fragility as the basis for creation, and generously open up a space for thinking, feeling and acting. No festival, as an artistic space, is neutral: Doc/Fest will make choices, and will stand for its core values of empathy and inclusiveness through its Film and Arts programme, its Talks and debates and the Talent and Marketplace projects it supports. Doc/Fest will prioritise free artistic ventures over the transformation of film into entertainment product for profit. We will prioritise education and internationalism over any kind of nationalism. We will prefer films and artworks made politically over political propaganda offering easy conclusions. We will prefer peripheries over centres. We will prefer the plurality of lives over the commodification of identities. We will be open to criticism and prepared to have difficult discussions.
Doc/Fest is now a registered charity, its aim is to be of service both in the interest of filmmakers, artists and the public. We are a festival committed to the values of freedom, social engagement and collective development of the arts, therefore the purpose of our work becomes even clearer with this new status. The Festival will work for the film and arts communities in the UK and internationally to offer access to everyone, against any conflicting interests of the dissenting few. Through these values, we have redrawn the film programme into the announced strands and soon will reshape the arts exhibition programme. The film programme will include not only a view of challenging and affirmative films of the last twelve months; but films that foster an urgent and creative dialogue between past and present. A film festival is partly about how to co-exist, how to share a space and time collectively. It is not about being tied to the present, more about being able to see any historical work as an opportunity to better comprehend and imagine our future. The programme comprises multiple filmic forms and multiple universes that combined, will provide a possible map of our world, our time and how cinema is a powerful way to address them. Doc/Fest is a combination of future imaginations and possibilities for action, made by a group of people who want to be part of an urgent conversation: one about freedom and solidarity, about how to build bonds across the globe through culture, to create generous environments for co-existence.
Announcing Doc/Fest's 2020 Film Programme Competitions and Strands
Singular films from all over the world, driven by courageous and creative ways of reflecting life and imagining our times.
UK COMPETITION
Bringing together diverse films with the UK as the main country of production into a contemporary conversation, championing and spotlighting artists and filmmakers with fresh perspectives on the world and on cinema.
Into the World is about all of us—the distant, the close, the intimate, the political—our worlds and their infinite appearances, challenges and dangers. Films by essential directors with essential themes that take varied approaches to exploring our past, present and collective future.
There are as many ways to rebel as there are humans on this planet—and cinema can be one of them. What happens when a human who wants to change the world meets a camera? What happens when a film changes a human being? Reality is here to be invented and it's up to us to take it into our own hands.
GHOSTS AND APPARITIONS
Since the first glimpses of the moving image, ghosts were haunting our imaginations, including those yet to be. A ghost from then meets a ghost from now - histories and collective memory are born. And cinema: the dismantling of frontiers.
RHYME AND RHYTHM
Film has a rich tradition of incorporating and interacting with other arts and practices. From music to performing arts, from visual arts to literature, these films offer encounters and inspirations to a different beat.
Each year, Doc/Fest will present a retrospective that brings to Sheffield fundamental histories of cinema. Sometimes a theme, sometimes an idea, sometimes a filmmaker, each retrospective will be a unique moment to revisit the history of non-fiction and documentary, and to put contemporary cinema in perspective.

Episode #022 - Martin Duvall
Next guest for the Deathmetaldiscoclub podcast is Martin Duvall! Maybe better known as Martin C de Waal, Martin is one of the most prolific multi-disciplinary artists based in Amsterdam. Over the years he has produced an amazing body of work, which he exposes on international grounds. He likes to hold a mirror in front of it's viewers and society and has gained global praise for his confronting, visual work.
Beyond his art through video and photography, Martin is an important figure in the Amsterdam nightlife. Not only as a VJ and DJ, but also as a promoter. Martin is a very dedicated person when it comes to Italo Disco and has been pushing the Italo anthems on his audience throughout his infamous Disco Total and Italo Elite events (which he hosts with Tom Trago, Lupe and San Proper).
Sadly, Disco Total lost it's home base in Club Up earlier this year, but it grants Martin a whole lot of time to concentrate on his visual art. For now, we'd like to see this podcast as a hommage to it's phenomenal legacy.
As an artist, Martin is represented by Torch gallery at the Lauriergracht in Amsterdam and is exposing his current works over there until August 17th. We also want you to know that he has some fresh audio tracks that he is working on and was kind enough to premiere the Topless ft. Martin Duvall - Allnight track in this mix.

Q: How can I remove lines under a sub heading in a file using linux commands I have a file as below . In which I want to remove lines under a particular sub heading alone. I tried using some sed and awk commands but I couldn't get it. Can any one help to crack this with some  linux commands.
[first attempt]
a=10
b=20

[second attempt]
a=20
b=20

[third attempt ]
a=30
b=50

I want to remove lines under '[second attempt]' sub heading alone. The output should be as below. I just want to remove the contents under the sub heading and optionally the removed lines can be replaced by one blank line
[first attempt]
a=10
b=20

[second attempt]

[third attempt ]
a=30
b=50

A: awk -v blkid=0 -v rmblk=2 '{
      if ( $1 ~ /^\[/) {
            blkid+=1;blkn=NR;print };
      if ( blkid !=rmblk && NR!=blkn )
            print ;
      else if(blkid ==rmblk && NF == 0)
                  print ""}' file.txt

Each block will have id starting from 1 increment by one for each block: blkid.
The block id of the block you want remove : rmblk
Each block will start when first field starts with [.
The variable blkn stores the NR value of [first attempt] [second attempt] etc..

A: sed '$!N;/^\[second/,/^\n\[/P;D' <infile >outfile

That should probably do, though I'm not perfectly clear about what you want to do with the trailing blank line that immediately precedes the next section. This output includes it, because it seems the right thing to do, but if you want to drop only that one last blank line from any section that can be done relatively easily - so just ask.
Basically, for every input line which is ! not the $ last, sed also pulls in the Next line and appends it to pattern space following an inserted \newline character delimiter. Each time this happens the pattern space shifts:
 ^Line1\nLine2$
 ^Line2\nLine3$
 ^Line3\nLine4$

If the current pattern space matches the patterns ^\[second or ^\n\[ or any line which occurs between those two, sed will Print up to the first occurring \newline in pattern space - and so it only prints half of its buffer for each iteration.
Last, sed Deletes up to the first occurring \newline in pattern space and starts the script again from the top - which is how we get the shifting effect. This is known as a sliding window. It works very well, and is quite fast.

I guess there are multiple versions of this question or something? Whatever the case, going the opposite way is not so difficult to do, really.
You might do it like...
sed -ne '/^\[[^s]/,/^\[s/p' <in >out

Which would just print any content which doesn't follow a header beginning with an s character, and and all headers regardless. It doesn't do the neat little newline after, though:

[first attempt]
a=10
b=20

[second attempt]
[third attempt ]
a=30
b=50

If you want to get a little more explicit you can do that too:
sed '/^\[[second]/P;$!N;//,/\n$/!P;D' <in >out

...which does do the neat little newline...
[first attempt]
a=10
b=20

[second attempt]

[third attempt ]
a=30
b=50

All of these are sed ranges, and for each match expression that looks like:
/match1/,/match2/command

...sed will apply the command to both matched lines and all lines that come between.

A: You can also do this with a short sed script.  Put the following in a file:
/second/ {
   n
   : del
   /./ ! b
   N
   s/.*\n//
   b del
}

Call it script.  Then use sed -f script myfile.  If you are trying to edit the file in place, use sed -i -f script myfile, but I recommend running the first command before you try that and make sure it's exactly the output you want.
Explanation:
Once the string second is found, sed will look at the next line.  If that line is not empty, it is discarded and the next line in the file is looked at until an empty line is found.  That empty line and all other lines in the file are printed.  (Unless there is another line containing the string second, in which case the process repeats.)
(I can explain more if anyone is interested.)

A: I'll try to grep to the two line numbers of "second attempt" and "third attempt" then delete whatever is in between. Edit accordingly to your needs. :)
#getting line number for [second attempt]
line_num_second=$(grep -n "second attempt" yourfile.txt | cut -d : -f 1)

#getting line number for [third attempt]
line_num_third=$(grep -n "third attempt" yourfile.txt | cut -d : -f 1)

start=$(expr $line_num_second +1)
end=$(expr $line_num_third -2)

#removes the content in between [second attempt] and [third attempt]
sed $start,"$end"d yourfile.txt

# sed -i $start,"$end"d yourfile.txt # -i - overwite/edit your files in-place instead of printing to standard output

From advanced diesel to hydrogen: Four ways Cummins is committed to meeting energy demands
Cummins Newsroom: Our Innovation, Technology and Services
Sep 22, 2020 by Michael Nagel, Leader - Global Brand
If you couldn't attend last year's North American Commercial Vehicle Show (NACV), here's a recap to help you get up to speed on the latest diverse power solutions Cummins is poised to bring to market
NACV is one of the largest gatherings in the global on-highway industry with fleet owners, original equipment manufacturers, maintenance managers and over 15,000 trucking industry professionals typically gathering in Atlanta, Georgia during the last week of October to attend the four-day event.
Visit Cummins at NACV
Cummins had a strong presence at last year's NACV show, showcasing a wide range of the company's latest industry-leading technologies. As a 101 year old company whose products can be found powering applications in markets ranging from construction to marine, meeting the energy and environmental demands of the future is the name of the game, and the company is committed to developing a broad portfolio of diverse power solutions.
That message was made loud and clear when Dr. Wayne Eckerle, Vice President of Global Research and Technology at Cummins, recently testified before the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change in Washington, D.C.
"Cummins is committed to investing in an energy diverse future where our customers have a broad portfolio of power options," Eckerle said. "A future that includes clean diesel, natural gas, electrified power, fuel cell technology and alternative fuels – so they can choose what works best for them."
From telematics to the latest in advanced diesel engine technology, here are four ways Cummins is committed to investing in the power of choice and powering a trucking industry that's Always On. And if you just so happened to be at NACV last year, you probably stopped by booth No. 7545 and saw all of these latest innovations in person.
Cummins Advanced-Diesel Platforms
Cummins' industry-leading diesel engine platforms are expanding for 2020, providing customers with dependable, efficient solutions for line-haul, regional-haul, heavy-haul, vocational and specialty applications.
Customers will see total cost of ownership improvements to the X15 Efficiency Series platform, with advancements in air handling and base engine hardware improvements resulting in 3.5% better fuel economy when compared to the 2017 X15 Efficiency Series engine model.
Those cost savings not only benefit the bottom line, but as a company committed to powering a more prosperous world, the improved fuel economy means Cummins and our customers can feel good about helping combat threats to the environment caused by climate change.
"We are proud of the performance and reliability of the X15 engine platform," said Brett Merritt, Vice President – On-Highway Engine Business at Cummins. "The new 2020 X15 Efficiency Series engine provides improved fuel economy and further reduces greenhouse gas emissions. That's why we're bringing our new X15 Efficiency Series engine and X15 Productivity Series offering to the market a year ahead of regulation requirements."

Natural gas engines from Cummins can offer considerable longevity and reliability when properly maintained – so much so they are lasting decades and counting.
Between 2008 and 2009, more than 3,730 Cummins B Gas Plus natural gas engines were procured through OEM partners Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland and delivered to the National Capital Region of India. Deployed into the Delhi transport Corporation's (DTC) transit bus fleet, nearly 15 years later, the engines remain in service. To date, the buses have travelled approximately 5.4 billion kilometers – yes, billion – over the last 15 years.
These engines prove what Maged Tadros, General Manager of Cummins Global Bus Business likes to tell his customers: "Adopting Cummins natural gas engines into your fleets can help achieve several operational and economic benefits."
As the lowest total emissions engine on the market for trucks and buses, Cummins natural gas engines run on an abundant, low-cost fuel, with a maintenance free three-way catalyst exhaust treatment system.
The need for reliable transportation is essential. Over the past 15 years, the Cummins B Gas Plus natural gas engines have helped more than 150 million Indian residents get to where they need to be and will continue to do so for the years to come.

"Cummins engines are sought after globally for their world-class reliability and durability," explained Puneet Jhawar, General Manager – Natural Gas. "We have learned a lot from our experience in India, among other countries adopting natural gas engines, learnings that have influenced our next generation of engines."
Last year, Cummins announced the B6.7 natural gas engine will be available in India. Built for school buses, shuttles, and medium-duty trucks, the B6.7N boasts up to 240 hp/560 lbs-ft torque.
As the most mature, proven, and least disruptive alternative power technology available today, natural gas engines offer range flexibility and deliver a similar power, performance, and driving experience as diesel engines. Cummins natural gas engines help fleets reduced their overall environmental impact without significantly increasing the cost of operation or sacrificing performance or uptime.
The power of Cummins' natural gas engines was on display at the India Auto Expo in Greater Noida Uttar Pradesh, India this month.

The newest member of our battery family is the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, which expands our support of electrified commercial vehicle applications. LFPs are faster charging and longer-life batteries, and are used in the medium duty truck and school bus markets. LFPs don't require nickel or cobalt, making them more affordable and sustainable. With faster charging, higher power and a 10% longer life expectancy, Cummins LFP batteries are designed to meet the demands of continuous operation and have a lower total cost of ownership.
Green travel is on track: Our fuel cell systems are powering the world's first 100%-hydrogen passenger train fleet
Holiday vacation plans? Visit us in Europe where we're powering the world's first fleet of hydrogen trains. The Alstom Coradia iLint trains are outfitted with Cummins fuel cell systems and run on the world's first 100%-hydrogen-powered passenger train route. The trains convert hydrogen fuel into energy and turn existing, non-electrified infrastructure into zero-emission rail lines. These trains emit only steam and condensed water while in service and operate with low noise levels that improve both operator and passenger comfort.
The hydrogen fuel cell systems used in the trains are assembled at Cummins' Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems Production Center in Herten, Germany. The facility was fully operational in 2022, enabling accelerated adoption of hydrogen technologies across Europe and the globe.
North America? Check. Europe? Check. We've expanded our New Power footprint across the globe
This year, we drove the green hydrogen economy forward across the globe by supporting new infrastructure projects and advancing government decarbonization goals.
We have broken ground on our new gigawatt PEM electrolyzer manufacturing plant in Guadalajara, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. Construction is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2023. The 200,000 sq. ft. facility will have the capacity to produce 500MW per year, scalable to more than 1GW per year.
Our Oevel, Belgium electrolyzer manufacturing facility expanded its capacity to 1GW thanks to the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) Hy2Tech program. IPCEI will help Cummins develop a new generation of PEM electrolyzer cell stacks to power large-scale hydrogen production systems. Operation began at our new Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems Production Center in Herten, Germany this year, which further enables the adoption of hydrogen technologies across Europe.
We expanded our Mississauga, Ontario, Canada campus by adding a third facility dedicated to hydrogen technology. The new facility accommodates the company's growing staff, hydrogen production capacity and new product development, putting Cummins in a better position to support the developing hydrogen market in North America.
The wait is over - our electrified powertrains made their official debut
We unveiled the Meritor 17Xe ePowertrain integrated with a Cummins battery system. The 17Xe is designed for heavy-duty trucks with the capacity to support 44 tons of gross combined weight. The assembly also features Cummins' new lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack.
Our clean drivetrain options offer performance and packaging advantages for diverse applications across the globe.
Electrolyzers are stateside: We're starting production in the U.S.
We announced that we'll begin producing electrolyzers in the U.S. for the first time at our Fridley, Minnesota facility. To drive the domestic green hydrogen economy forward, we'll start at 500 megawatts (MW) of manufacturing capacity annually, scalable to 1 gigawatt (GW) in the future.
Cummins Inc. (NYSE:CMI) announced the 2022 recipients of the company's most prestigious technical award, the Julius Perr Innovation award. Now in its 23rd year, the award recognizes employees who demonstrated excellence in innovation and technology by developing significant intellectual property for our products.
This year's recipients are Cummins employees Richard Ancimer, Krishna Kamasamudram, Ashok Kumar, Guoqiang Li, Tim Proctor, Michael Wilson, and Aleksey Yezerets. Acknowledgement also goes to Neal Currier, Ed Hodzen, and Vivek Sujan.
ABOUT THE INNOVATIONS
The first winning patents relate to the mitigation of sulfur accumulation on a selective reduction catalyst (SCR).
Ancimer, Currier, Kamasamudram, Kumar, and Yezerets developed methodologies to not only monitor this accumulation of sulfur but regenerate the catalysts faster, and at lower temperatures, through the synchronization of engine operating conditions during regeneration. Their work is employed on Cummins products, such as Euro IV/V/VI, EPA 2010, Tier IV, and in regions high sulfur fuel, and will likely continue playing a role in meeting future emission regulations.
Wilson developed a different approach targeted for the service channel in areas with high sulfur fuel, particularly the Euro V products in South America. A key feature of his invention involves the deactivation of cylinders, and his work has been cited numerous times by non-Cummins patents.
For second winning technology, Hodzen, Li, Proctor, and Sujan invented the SmartTorque2 (ST2) feature, which is part of the award-winning Eaton Cummins SmartAdvantageTM Powertrain. This feature automatically senses a variety of factors, such as grade and weight, and selects the optimum torque for performance and fuel economy. The invention was first in production in 2013 and has been a standard offering of the X15 product since 2017.
This award was created to honor Dr. Julius Perr, who retired from Cummins in 1997 as Vice President - Fuel Systems. Dr. Perr, who passed away in 2005, joined Cummins in 1958 after fleeing Communist Hungary. He made Columbus, Indiana (USA) home and began a 41-year career as a Cummins engineer and leader. In his lifetime, he was named the inventor or co-inventor of 186 granted patents and remains an inspiration to many in our industry.
The Julius Perr Innovation Awards Ceremony was held in-person with senior Technical Leaders, members of the Perr family, the 2022 Perr Award winners and their guests on October 18, 2022. Four winners, Krishna Kamasamudram, Ashok Kumar, Guoqiang Li and Michael Wilson, were able to attend in person to receive their awards. The other three winners were unable to attend, but their award and special recognition have been provided to them separately.
Members of a selection committee, made up of leaders from across all business units, meet yearly to evaluate patents that have created significant value for our products. In 2022, over 1,100 patents were reviewed for consideration before selecting the final patent award recipients. Since 2000, only 84 patents have been selected for this prestigious award with each invention adding value to our brand promise of innovation and dependability.
Congratulations again to the 2022 recipients on the honor of winning the 2022 Julius Perr Innovation Award.
Always Innovating
Nov 10, 2022 by Cummins Inc., Global Power Technology Leader
This article was authored by Chuck McClaugherty, Bear Electric, a Cummins Authorized Dealer.
Smart phones, smart TVs, virtual assistants, smart thermostats, smart locks and doorbells. Our homes are now filled with smart devices. Unfortunately, most of them become useless without power to run or recharge. This is why homeowners should consider installing one smart device above all other: a home standby generator.
As a Cummins Authorized Dealer, I install a lot of Cummins QuietConnect™ home standby generators throughout Oregon. With increasingly severe weather, rolling blackouts, and aging power grids, I can tell you without a doubt a backup generator is a worthwhile investment.
The best part of owning one of these smart devices? You don't have to tell it when to turn on and off. It does it automatically.
In a nutshell, here's the process:
When we install a Cummins home standby generator, we also install a Cummins automatic transfer switch. This transfer switch constantly monitors the electric utility power coming into the home. If it detects a break in service, it will automatically disconnect the home from the electric utility line in a split second and turn on the Cummins generator to power the home instead. The generator is fed either by a natural gas line or by a propane tank.
While the Cummins generator is powering the home, the transfer switch will continue to monitor the electric utility line. Once it detects that power has been restored, it'll automatically disconnect the generator from the home's electrical system and reconnect the electric utility.
You don't have to do anything. Nada. Zilch. The generator and the transfer switch do all the work. In some cases, you may not even realize there's a power outage until you look out the window and see all your neighbor's houses are dark.
Just as critical as having a Cummins Authorized Dealer professionally install your backup generator and transfer switch is making sure you choose the right size generator for your home. If it's too small, the load won't be able to power everything in the house. If it's too big, you'll consume extra natural gas or propane when you use it.
The easiest way to make sure you select the right size generator is to have your dealer do it for you. But if you want to get a feel for how much generator you're going to need, Cummins has an excellent blog post on calculating the generator wattage you need or you can use the generator size calculator at Cummins.com.
We live in a world full of smart devices. Make sure you can keep yours up and running during power outages with a Cummins QuietConnect home standby generator. To find a dealer near you, use the Cummins dealer locator. Or, if you live in Oregon, just contact me at (503) 678-3417 or [email protected]

[Fantasia 2019] THE PREY: Welcome to the Class Struggle Jungle
The Prey. 2019. Directed by Jimmy Henderson. Screenplay by Henderson, Michael Hodgson, & Kai Miller.
Starring Gu Shangwei, Byron Bishop, Sahajak Boonthanakit, Nophand Boonyai, Rous Mony, Dara Our, Dy Sonita, & Vithaya Panringarm.
Altered Vision Films / Kongchak Pictures
Not Rated / 93 minutes
Disclaimer: The following article contains spoilers
Good enough martial arts action can survive on its own without dense plot. We love to see Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and other stars do their thing, no matter if that means 90+ minutes of kicking ass and little else. It's icing on an already delicious cake when the action comes with a little something more, whether a genuinely powerful acting performance alongside the technical skill, or story / characters that'll grip the viewer as much as the fight choreography.
Jimmy Henderson's The Prey is a lean, furious film. The plot puts Xin (Gu Shangwei)— a Chinese cop deep undercover on an international organised crime mission— in a bad situation when he's arrested alongside the mafia members he's attempting to bust. He lands in a remote prison at the edges of a Cambodian jungle. Normally it'd be dangerous enough. This particular prison is run by a sadistic Warden (Vithaya Pansringarm, whom many Western viewers will recognise from Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives). He farms prisoners out to the affluent. Xin and others are taken to the forest and let loose as prey for rich hunters. He has to band together with the criminals or face potential death alone.
Xin's struggle is already entertaining with Shangwei displaying his martial arts skills and the jungle providing an adequate playground for Henderson to show off growth in his directing since the 2017 action-comedy Jailbreak. Added to visual flair and ass kicking are subtle pieces of writing, placed within a Cambodian version of Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game," that illustrate the violent divide between economic classes.
The Prey is an excellent postmodern action film because it presents a genuine Marxist power struggle in the shadow of horrors committed by a state communist regime, Khmer Rouge. A Cambodian action-thriller set in a prison where prisoners are sold off to be murdered cannot escape the horrors of a man like Pol Pot, just like a German director setting a story with concentration camp ruins in the background wouldn't be able to ignore Adolf Hitler's brutal legacy.
"I'm obsessed with those moments
when man becomes animal"
The above quote, from the Warden, captures much of what the movie is about: the animalistic nature of man. Prison turns men into animals by necessity— even those who go in for non-violent crimes are faced with defending themselves from all sorts of assaults, to the point they've got to be a hardened warrior just to survive. The irony is that Xin's an undercover cop. His career's been spent putting men into cages, and now he, too, has to return to an animal-like state of being to survive this nasty place. The jungle is a symbolic setting. Xin takes the place of an animal. Not solely in the sense of a man trying to retain his humanity in the face of violence— he's part of the economic food chain, at the top of which sit those with the capital to buy / sell human lives.
On the one hand, prison and its inherent violence turns men into animals. On the other hand, money and power corrupt men towards vicious behaviour, too. Wealth can make people less civilised, not more. They seek further and further excess to satisfy their bottomless bourgeois urges, sooner or later spilling over into decadence. When the rich hunters are in the jungle hunting Xin and the criminals, one of them says to himself: "Now I am the tiger and you are the prey." He growls like tiger, sighting his prey in a rifle scope. After one hunter's killed, the leader, Mat (Byron Bishop, who also appeared in Only God Forgives) says: "This is not a game anymore." Only after one of the bourgeois are killed does the violence becomes serious for them— their lives have value, whereas their prey are worthless except as fleshy targets for the rich to murder.
More compelling is how these bourgeois killers appear opposite the criminals they hunt. The old adage about honour among thieves rings wholly true in The Prey. Xin and another man— a thief— easily come together, watching each other's backs to survive the onslaught of bullets / explosives. The undercover cop doesn't think twice about helping a thief, and neither does the thief about helping Xin. The bourgeois hunting squad are diametrically opposed to the criminals in this sense. Mat and Ti (Nophand Boonyai) have prior issues, involving a shady military operation in their past. They gradually divide as the plot wears on. The big shootout during the climactic finale pits Ti against his own rich friends, as well as their military reinforcements, illustrating the nebulous nature of solidarity between the rich versus Xin and the thief's working class cooperation.
"All I did was give society
the privilege of
paying the fuckers back"
There are echoes of the prison-industrial complex all throughout Henderson's action film. Cambodia itself has serious issues with its prisons, whether it's the prisons themselves teeming with bodies, or rampant systemic corruption. The most significant aspect about actual prisons in the country in regards to this fictional depiction is the idea of a for-profit system run by the powerful to benefit a certain economic class.
Just this year, the Cambodian government announced a plan to open new prison facilities where criminals could pay to stay. Prisons like Prey Sar have suffered from overcrowding, so the government thought a 5-star prison hotel, for the upper class criminal, would be a proper solution. The government has recently come out in the press to say the pay-to-stay prison project isn't happening, after much negative press at home and abroad. Like this ridiculous idea for solving the overcrowding problem, The Prey's Warden likewise uses the warehoused bodies of prisoners as a method of gaining capital while clearing out space.
It's impossible to separate a Cambodian film about prisoners ruthlessly hunted by men with dark military pasts from the history of Cambodia, where 40 years prior Pol Pot dominated citizens via state-run communism (a.k.a capitalism-lite) and killed a little over 20% of the country's 1975 population. The Warden is a Pot-type figure, presented visually at times as a devil— one shot of his face with fire lighting him from below is decidedly Luciferian. Another has him using an upside cross torture apparatus to torture Xin, including an iron crown. Interestingly, our undercover cop passes a sign that bears the number 666 in the opening scene before the events that leads him to the Warden's prison. The torture particularly conjures images of Pot, whose S-21 prison used electrical shock torture as one of many methods to force confessions.
It's the finale that's most shocking in terms of connections to Cambodia's dark history, when the Warden and the hunters are aided by military forces— a literal merging of the prison and military-industrial complexes. Even the regular police are helpless in the face of the state's most powerful institutions. Although Xin comes out of the confrontation alive, his final walk through the destroyed village and the bloody corpses littered is a horrific view of the damage caused by the state's dominance over its lowest classes.
The Prey is a great action film, even without any of the additional theme readings Father Gore has plucked out. Xin begins a descent into near literal hell from the very start, and once the real action begins it never lets up until the final credits. Shangwei's martial arts are impressive. His actual performance is better, as his character grapples with being forced to kill in order to survive ruling class violence. For a devilish figure in the Warden there's no one better than Pansringarm. His penchant for playing odd, disturbed villains smacks less of typecasting than it does a fabulous acting trademark like the best actors who played the most fun, engaging bad guys throughout action's 80s heyday.
Henderson continues to build an interesting career. Jailbreak was an entertaining ride. The Prey ups the ante, making the stakes of the plot bigger while also increasing the size of the set-pieces with numerous natural jungle locations to serve as stunning backdrops for adrenaline-fuelled fight choreography. If action with strong plot and thematic content is your bag, you'll be more than entertained. If you're solely interested in gunfights and thrilling martial arts, Henderson will satisfy those needs, and then some, too.

Q: SHA1 Hash algorithm issues I'm attempting to store a user's password in my program, but I don't want to store it in plain text. Therefore, I'm hashing it and storing that instead, and when the user needs to enter his password upon the program start (to protect against unauthorized users), I'm hashing the entered password and comparing the two hashes.
However, the following code is generating the same hash for almost any password entered. Can anyone either tell me how to fix the following code, or direct me to a better hash function?
public static string getSHA1(string userPassword)
{
    return BitConverter.ToString(SHA1Managed.Create().ComputeHash(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(userPassword))).Replace("-", "");
}

Thanks for any assistance.

A: Use somehting like this
    private static string GetSHA1(string text)
    {
        UnicodeEncoding UE = new UnicodeEncoding();
        byte[] hashValue;
        byte[] message = UE.GetBytes(text);

        SHA1Managed hashString = new SHA1Managed();
        string hex = "";

        hashValue = hashString.ComputeHash(message);
        foreach (byte x in hashValue)
        {
            hex += String.Format("{0:x2}", x);
        }
        return hex;
    }

A: I plugged your function into a new project and it seemed to be working OK, so check how the password is being supplied to the function. I'd be wary of using Encoding.Default instead of an explicit coding, as it says it's system-dependent.
Here's the one I made:
    public static string getSHA1(string userPassword)
    {
        return Convert.ToBase64String(new SHA1Managed().ComputeHash(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(userPassword)));
    }

Note: as pointed out in the comments, doing password storage/matching this way is bad:

*

*you are using a fast hashing algorithm. You want password hashing to be slow to mitigate brute-force attacks. Bcrypt does a good job of this.

*you are not salting your hash. Salting means adding some random data to the password prior to hashing, then storing the random data along with the hash. This makes rainbow tables (huge hash to password maps) useless.

Interview Col.Chris Hadfield at Ontario Science Centre "TO BE AN ASTRONAUT" Exhibition
by: Amelie Zhou (age 9) and Michelle Zhou (age 9)
Ever heard of Colonel Chris Hadfield? He was the first Canadian to walk in space, and he went around the world 2600 times. Now does that ring a bell? Voice K got to visit the Ontario Science Centre and had the opportunity to interview astronaut Colonel Chris Hadfield!
We entered a room filled with exhibits, with a stage and chairs. There were a lot of seats reserved for important guests, such as friends of Chris Hadfield, and Lesley Lewis, the former CEO of the Ontario Science Centre. A stage looked like it was set up for a bunch of speeches, as it had a podium and an official background. There was definitely going to be a lot of media professionals around.
The press conference started with dancers wearing space suits walking to the stage in slow motion. They stretched their arms like they were in space and danced with electronic music. The speeches started at 9:30am. First, some people began with speeches about how this exhibit was dedicated towards Chris Hadfield and Lesley Lewis. Then Chris Hadfield himself made a speech about being an astronaut. He talked about how we were little toddlers, waiting to explore the entire universe. He talked about how it was interesting that evolution saw the need to allow us to explore before we could communicate. We could walk before we could talk.
Lesley Lewis also made a speech about how she became CEO of the Ontario Science Centre. She talked about her steps, and how grateful she was to have this exhibit dedicated towards her. Two people dressed as astronauts did a little dance, and during the break, the Ontario Science Centre glee sang Is Somebody Singing written by Chris Hadfield.
There was also a little media scrum where people asked for Hadfield's autograph, and asked him questions. There was also a lot of other media present. There were a lot of microphones around, and a lot of people were waiting in line to interview him. Finally, after all the questions, it was our turn to interview Chris Hadfield.
Voice K: We recently watched the movie Gravity, what's the chance of that disaster happening to the real Space Station?
Hadfield: I saw the movie Gravity also. And the problem they had was some debris, some rocks and pieces from space went into their spaceship and caused damage to the spaceship. The International Space Station gets hit by tiny rocks like grains of sand all the time. The ISS has armor on the outside, so it's protected. There is a chance, though, that a piece about the size of your fist would hit it. That would punch a hole in the space station The crew practice for the situation when, suddenly, the space station's losing pressure. They close patches and put on oxygen masks. They might even get into the Soyuz, their little lifeboat.
Voice K: Is it scary in space knowing that you could die at any moment?
Hadfield: Is it scary on Earth knowing that you could die at any moment? Think about that huge earthquake in Nepal that just happened. It killed all sorts of people. So, the question is, do you allow yourself to be scared, or not? The difference between scary, and being scared; that's a personal decision, and it depends how you learn about other things. You have to ask yourself where you live, are there earthquakes? What about hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves, or gigantic tigers?
Voice K: Has there ever been a conflict in space, like two people don't get along well?
Hadfield: The Canadian Space Program doesn't let people randomly go into space. They select astronauts carefully from all over Canada. Only four of us got chosen out of over 5 000 people, and only two of us could live on the space station. The crew is put together and trained years before the expedition. We would be the type of people who get along well with each other anyways. By the time we got to space, we already knew each other very well. We never once had a conflict, partly from training, partly from the type of people they were, and partly because we morally choose not to.
Voice K: What do you miss most when you are in space?
Hadfield: I try and never miss anything. I never spend my time being somewhere, wishing I was somewhere else. I just don't think it's a useful way to go through life. I was weightless, could see all seven billion people everyday, so I didn't spend much time missing things.
Voice K: What do you think about the one-way trip to Mars?
Hadfield: No, no. There's no one-way trip to Mars happening. It's just an idea, but no, it's not happening. Our technology is not good enough, and it hasn't been invented yet, but one day, a miracle just might be invented.
Voice K: What is the future plan for the Canadian Space Program?
Hadfield: Canada has been a world leader in space since the very beginning. We were third in nation in space for 50 years. It think we'll continue to build satellites that will help us communicate with the other side of the world, teaching us more. Our satellites can monitor the pollution, climate change, and even the ice in the Arctic! They donate pieces to other satellites, do they could be built, and Canadians help to explore the universe.
Voice K learned a lot about Chris Hadfield interviewing him, and the International Space Station. It was fun to look at all the interesting exhibits. They showed actual items, such as astronaut clothes, models of spacecraft, and plants growing the way they would in space, in the actual environment. Ontario Science Centre is a great place to look and learn, and you should take the chance to visit it when you can.

Hi, my name is Amelie. I am nine years old and I am in grade four. I go to Silver Stream Public School (SSPS). My favorite color is purple and my favourite animal is the horse. My favorite series of books is "Redwall" by Brian Jacques. There is a lot of adventure inside. I also like the riddles in it. I like skiing and swimming. I have two pets. They are both fish. I might get two birds later. I have an identical twin named Michelle. She is one minute younger than me. Something special about me is that I treat some non-living things like they're living, especially my toys. I still hang on to them, even if they're very old.
Michelle Zhou
Hello. My name is Michelle. I am currently in grade four. I go to Silver Stream Public School. I enjoy reading comics and writing short stories from the top of my brain. I have an identical twin sister named Amelie. I like doodling, skiing, making myself dizzy, and doing handstands under the water. I like experimenting with computers, but I get into trouble. The only successful pets I have now are two nine-year-old fish without names. If you were to put me into one of the categories, Girl or Tomboy, I have one half here, and one half there. I will do almost ANYTHING possible to continue sleeping in most cases. That is all you need to know about me.
Science Centre: Brain - The Inside Story
On Tuesday, November 18, 2014, Voice K went to the media opening of the Ontario Science Center's newest exhibit, "Brain – The Inside Story." The experience was so educational, fun, and even weird!
The Exhibition:
by Dea Yu (age 9), Michelle Zhou (age 9) and Jeffrey Li (age 9)
The first thing we saw when we walked into the doors of the Brain exhibition was a large amount of tangled wires covering the ceiling. At first I felt very confused, but then I read a sign and suddenly I understood. This is what it looks like in a brain.
As I moved on, I learned more and more fascinating facts. Did you know that if you have shorter memory it is because you don't get enough sleep? Also, did you know that there are about 100 billion neurons present in the human brain? That's about 15 times the total human population on earth!
There were activities and games at every turn. There was a stacking game, a tracing game, a language game, a map route game, and lots more!
The tracing game had you trace a shape while looking at your actions in a mirror, so you can only see what you are doing through the mirror. There was a Beginner Shape, which was a triangle. The Advanced Shape was a star. Warning: this activity is easier said than done, but it gets easier over time. It was an example of How-to Memory.
The stacking game is a simplified version of the Towers of Hanoi, where two people can compete against each other. There was also a screen that showed you what happens in your brain when you do things. For example, it showed what happens in your brain when you steal a cookie from mom, when you're happy, or when you're hungry.
There were plenty of strange facts as well. One of the games taught you that things can be easier to memorize when they are in groups that make sense. Plus, there were facts about memory. There was one guy who memorized 2254 digits of π!
Also, we learned that descriptive words can play tricks on your mind. There was also one activity that told you to read two columns that had colored words in them. Column A had words like black, red, and white printed in the color of the words. Column B had the same words, but printed in different colors. Then you had to use the clock above to time someone not to read the words, but to say the color they are printed in. You will notice that Column B takes longer.
We interviewed two guests at the exhibition, Alicia Hilderley and Andrew Barr.
Alicia is a Ph.D. student at the University of Toronto. She works part-time for the Holland-Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, one of the organizers for the event. She gets to work with lots of kids and play interactive games with them.
Alicia claims to like everything about the exhibit, but feels that having more games, which is already her favorite part, would make the place even more attractive. Her number-one activity is "Stacking Cubes." Though Alicia is an expert on brains, she still learned lots of new and interesting things at the exhibition. "It's very inspiring," Alicia concluded.
Andrew is also learning about the brain at school – its function, makeup, and evolution. He said that his experience at the science center would help him indefinitely during his studies. Andrew found the exhibit very fun and exciting because it was his first time at the facility in many years and he was able to gain a lot of knowledge from the trip. Above all, Andrew liked the languages activity, as he felt that it revealed the substantial differences between some of the languages that are spoken around the world.
Interview with Dr. Elaine Bidiss
by Amelie Zhou (age 9)
Elaine Bidiss is a scientist at the Bloorview Research Institute and a Professor at the University of Toronto's Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering.
She was developing a new way to let kids have fun while waiting in the waiting room of Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. She didn't want kids to be bored, but, in an even worse scenario, anxious. Anxiety could result in resistance to treatment, worry, and fighting to not go back to the rehab center. Boredom is just a minor problem, but anxiety proves to be a major problem. They didn't want kids to have a bad memory of the place.
The problem was, they couldn't use toys that involved touching surfaces that everyone touches, because contagious viruses could spread very easily just at a touch. That meant iPads, computers, dolls, hand-activated toys were out of the question. What about bubble machines? That was a good question. It only involved looking at something. However, it's still no good ─ that interested parents for about 5 minutes, and kids for about 5 seconds. The hospital tried so many things, and after years of experimenting, they came up with a great toy that involved the art of waiting. There was a colourful carpet on the floor and by standing on the squares, floor sensors under the carpet send messages to a big screen. The longer you stand there, the prettier the pictures and sounds will become. Now, parents and kids alike can enjoy growing a garden together!
We also wanted to know why she chose to study the brain. She thought that the brain was a sort of magical thing, and she thought that it was important to know how your brain works, how you learn, how you think.
"We want to make sure that kids with disabilities can do things all kids like to do and have fun doing it, so we design technology that makes it easier for kids to do those sorts of things," Dr. Bidiss said. We asked a few questions on the brain itself, and learned that playing piano is good for the brain. If you want to improve someone's brain, it takes practice and willingness. When we asked her why she thinks the brain is located in our heads, she laughed and said she thinks it makes it harder to be damaged, compared to being located in the foot or hand.

Human centrifuge could benefit long-stay hospital patients
Image credit: Roae | Dreamstime.com
By E&T editorial staff
Published Tuesday, April 16, 2019
Patients could one day be spun around in a machine, which simulates the effects of gravity, to prevent the decline of muscle activity of patients during long hospital stays, scientists claim.
A new study will explore what happens when volunteers, subjected to 60 days of bed rest, spend 30 minutes per day strapped to a human centrifuge. The project will be carried out by Northumbria University and Manchester Metropolitan University and could also help astronauts who are sent on long missions.
"Artificial gravity could help astronauts to maintain muscle mass in space and help back here on Earth, too, by preventing severe muscle degeneration in hospitalised patients," said Professor Hans Degens, who is leading the study from Manchester Metropolitan University.
"Currently, astronauts have to exercise for up to 2.5 hours every day, take nutrient supplements and keep high-protein diets to maintain muscle mass while they are in space. Despite this, severe muscle deterioration still occurs."
"One day, astronauts might have a daily quick spin in a centrifuge on the ISS rather than spend hours on gym equipment in space," Degens added. "For hospital patients it could greatly improve their recovery during rehabilitation and after they leave."
Overall, 12 healthy mean and 12 healthy women are expected to take part in the study, with the volunteers being subjected to 60 days of bed rest, mimicking the effects of microgravity space conditions.
The researchers will also observe some of the group who will spend 30 minutes every day in the human centrifuge as it spins, carrying out a series of tests and examining muscle degeneration, as well as ways to prevent lower back pain.
"This pioneering research hopes to lessen the impact on future space flights, something which will be particularly important if we ever send humans on the long journey to Mars," said science minister Chris Skidmore.
"It has benefits on Earth too, helping the thousands of patients who develop muscle weakness from lengthy stays in a hospital bed," Skidmore added. "We will need to embrace new technology like this to meet the needs of our ageing society."
The first of two tests is already underway, according to the researchers, with the second set of tests due to begin in September.

The ironically named OpenDirect API from the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) is just as paradoxical as the trading method it is designed for: programmatic direct.
But odd semantics aside, the automated side of the digital ad industry, after being so often relegated to the slums of the Internet, is now primed for a push toward quality.
The IAB's announcement this morning that it has released an API to standardize "programmatic direct" trading — the hybrid trading method including both direct sales tactics and automation — comes after over one year of waiting. AOL, Microsoft, Yahoo and Yieldex announced their intentions to champion the API last fall and were later joined by MediaMath and Bionic Advertising Systems.
When AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo first came together to announce the plans — with Yieldex being named a "supporter" — programmatic direct had yet to fully emerge. Sure, it had been written about and discussed at conferences, but the budgets had yet to shift.
The game has changed since then, and will continue to change in the next few years. In fact, the IAB's release of a standard API seems to come at a perfect time for users of programmatic direct channels; the launch is much more preemptive than reactive. Recent eMarketer estimates project programmatic direct channels to account for nearly half (42%) of all programmatic ad spend by 2016, up from just 8% this year.


A Vidor man died Friday morning after the motorcycle he was driving collided with a pickup in Orange County, according to information from the Department of Public Safety.
He has been identified as Mark Everett Powell, 30.
Powell was reportedly traveling on FM 2802 at about 10 a.m. when he struck the back of a 2017 Chevrolet truck waiting to make a left turn into a private driveway, DPS reports.
The driver of the truck, a 39-year-old Orange man, was not injured.


A dedicated civil trial lawyer with experience in numerous types of cases, Mr. Banys brings his passion for justice to every client, in every case. Mr. Banys fights hard for his clients.
Christopher D. Banys started Banys, P.C. with one goal in mind: providing intelligent, effective, advocacy to help his clients achieve justice. A dedicated civil trial lawyer with experience in numerous types of cases, Mr. Banys brings his passion for justice to every client, in every case. Mr. Banys fights hard for his clients.
In 2015 and 2016, Mr. Banys served as lead trial lawyer in eight trials – and won them all, including a $12.5 million jury verdict against Qualcomm in San Diego and a $9.25 million verdict against Murphy Oil in East Texas. Overall, his tenacity has resulted in recovering tens of millions of dollars for his clients, as well as winning several defense victories.
This dedication to helping his clients has earned Mr. Banys recognition from his peers and the press. Indeed, the National Trial Lawyers Association named Mr. Banys among to the Top 100 Trial Lawyers from 2012-2018. The Recorder named Mr. Banys a Lawyer On The Fast Track in 2012, one of just 50 lawyers in California to receive that honor. And the SuperLawyers publication named Mr. Banys a Super Lawyer from 2014-2018 and Rising Star from 2011-2013.
Mr. Banys earned his law degree from Boston University School of Law, where he was a Dean's Scholar. While at B.U., Mr. Banys participated in the school's exceptional Criminal Clinic program where he tried criminal cases in Massachusetts state courts for two semesters. Mr. Banys, along with a good friend, also won the school's negotiation competition, going on to represent B.U. in regional competition. Mr. Banys spent his final semester of law school studying at Oxford University in Oxford, England. He earned his undergraduate degree in Spanish and Portuguese from the University of California (Berkeley), with high honors and high distinction in general scholarship.
Mr. Banys founded the Intellectual Property Litigation Group of the American Association for Justice and is active in several other legal associations. He is routinely invited to present at conferences and continuing legal education (CLE) programs on litigation issues.
