Posted By Town Crier News
Irked to loathing over the unrestrained display of power-drunkenness by the Executive Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People's Democratic Party (nPDP) and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has wrinkled his nose in disgust, condemning in the strongest of terms the crude resolve and exacerbated attempts by the Governor to punch political opponents to the corner and stifle the rules of participatory democracy in his state.
He is doing this in furtherance of the ploy to scheme Pst. Tonye Cole and other candidates of the APC out of the contest and foist his stooges on the state against the will of majority.
Recall that some days ago, Gov. Nyesom Wike announced that he has signed into law Executive Order 21, a legal instrument that forces political parties and candidates to fulfill certain conditions before embarking on campaigns in various parts of the state ahead of the elections in 2023. He thus turned into an election regulator and participants at the same time.
According to the order, political parties and candidates are prohibited from using public schools for political campaigns without the approval of the state Ministry of Education. The law also provides that application for approval must be submitted at least two weeks before the date of the campaign.
Wike said: "Applicants will also deposit the sum of five million caution fees in case attendees destroy the facilities in the schools", and council Chairmen are empowered to stop political campaigns of a political party in breach.
Under Executive Order 22, the Governor banned the use of premises, buildings and sundry structures in residential areas as campaign offices by political parties in the state, without government approval, with effect from November 11, 2022.
Reacting to the ugly development in a statement made available to media houses in Port Harcourt, Eze said the Governor seems to have been lost in a pathological euphoria of the powers of his office to a degree that is extreme, excessive and grossly abnormal and against every known norms and rules of democracy and and civility and must be reminded that power is transient and will definitely leave him in a matter of months.
He said the Executive Orders are ultra Vires the powers of the Governor as the constitution and electoral act have already taken care of, and specified the limits of political parties and actors in the electioneering process and any modification by way of executive order is a corruption of law and does not deserve the respect and obedience of the people.
Quoting the Electoral Act 2022, Eze said Section 92(3) thereof specifically spelt out places where political campaigns, rallies and other engagements in furtherance of any political purpose
should not be carried out including setting-up of campaign offices.
(3) "Places designated for religious worship, police stations, and public offices shall not be used—
(a) for political campaigns, rallies and processions ; or
(b) to promote, propagate or attack political parties, candidates or their programmes or ideologies.
Similarly, by virtue of the provision of Section 91 of the same act, if there is any institution whose authority should be sought and obtained before embarking on political rallies and campaigns as allowed by Section 40 of the 1999 Constitution, it is the Nigeria Police and not the Governor or his agents and privies as is speculated under the controversial Executive Orders.
Arrogating to oneself powers that clearly contravene the Constitution which is the 'grund norm' and the Electoral Act which is the principal legislation covering electioneering processes and stipulating offenses and punishments thereof is Ultra Vires, null and void and an invitation to anarchy.
The party Chief said the Constitution having granted citizens rights to own properties, association and private life as well as specifying limits to such rights, Gov. Wike is 'functus officio' and cannot dictate for citizens and property owners how to deal with their properties in as much as the usage of such properties does not constitute crime or contravene existing laws on urban development.
Eze emphasized that the only institution that has powers to legislate on the regulation of political parties, electioneering campaigns and matters incidental thereto is the National Assembly and not a State Governor and the provisions of Electoral Act is sufficient in that respect.
He pointed out that the fear of an imminent defeat that awaits the Rivers State Governor and his party and stooges is pushing him to act beyond his bounds, noting that restricting political parties from freely going about the lawful business of engaging citizens and canvassing for votes from electorates is undemocratic and portends great danger to democracy.
Eze assured that with the APC participating in the 2023 elections, the victory of Pst. Tonye Cole and other candidates of the party is sacrosanct and non-negotiable as Rivers people are determined to bring an end to the oppression and suppressive orders of the tiny tyrant which contravene every recognized standards of civilized behaviors, international ethics and decorum.
Condemning the attack at the home of former Rivers Southeast representative at the red chambers and a respected and responsible son of Rivers State, Sen. Lee Ledogo Maeba, an ardent supporter of former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the PDP for the 2023 polls, Alh. Atiku Abubakar, Thursday morning where over four vehicles and properties worth millions were lost, Eze reminded Gov. Wike and his cohorts that no one has the monopoly of violence and a reprisal attack may trigger a crisis capable of setting a palpable gloom of apprehension across the state.
While sympathizing with Sen. Maeba over the attack which he described as dastardly, Eze called on security agencies to swiftly investigate and bring the perpetrators and their sponsors to justice. He counseled the youth to resist the temptation of allowing themselves to be used as willing tools in the hands of desperados and wrongdoers who do not mean well for them and the state.
Eze commended the determination and strong character displayed by some prominent sons of Rivers State – former Governor -Sir Celestine Omehia, former Transport Minister, Dr. Abiye Sekibo, Sen. Lee Maeba and others who have stood their ground against the malfeasance that is permeating the state and urged them to remain unshaken in their resolve to fight for the enthronement of good governance, democracy and rule of law in Nigeria and Rivers State.

CFP matchups: Runnin' Duggan; UGA's TEs; Quentin vs. Kelee
by: By RALPH D. RUSSO
TCU is looking to pull another upset. Georgia is trying to win a second straight national title.
The third-ranked Horned Frogs and top-ranked Bulldogs face off in the College Football Playoff championship game Monday night at Sofi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Georgia is a 12 1/2-point favorite, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. That's down a point from were it opened after Saturday night's thrilling CFP semifinals.
The Frogs were about a touchdown underdog against No. 2 Michigan in the semifinals, and have embraced being underestimated.
"Definitely gave us a little bit of extra juice," Frogs offensive lineman Wes Harris said.
How TCU's offensive line holds up against the big, bad Bulldogs' defensive front is one of several key matchups likely to determine which team wins the national title.
Ask Big 12 coaches what someone might overlook about TCU and they point to the guys up front on offense.
"The biggest slight I thought was (to) TCU's o-line," West Virginia coach Neal Brown said. "I think they're very good up front."
Left guard Steve Avila is an All-American. Tackles Brandon Coleman (6-foot-6, 325 pounds) and Andrew Coker (6-7, 315) are even bigger than Georgia's tackles.
The line is also loaded with experience. They have all been in college at least four years.
Avila and Co. paved the way for 263 yards rushing against Michigan. The challenge against Georgia will be greater.
More so than maybe any defense in college football, coach Kirby Smart's 'Dawgs are going to take away the run. They are sound when it comes to filling gaps and they do so with big and athletic linemen and linebackers, led by All-American Jalen Carter.
The 300-pound defensive tackle might be the best player in college football, regardless of position.
Only two opponents this season gained more than 4.0 yards per carry in a game against Georgia. None reached 5.0. TCU averages 5.32 yards per carry, 15th in the country.
Emari Demercado (150 yards on 17 carries) had a career game against Michigan after leading-rusher Kendre Miller (1,399 and 17 touchdowns this season) went out with a knee injury. TCU coach Sonny Dykes called Miller questionable earlier this week.
Regardless of who is lining at tailback for TCU, Heisman Trophy runner-up Max Duggan will need to get involved in the running game for the Frogs.
"You've got to play 11-on-11 when it comes to Georgia," Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire said. "You're not going to go out there and just traditionally turn around and hand the ball off, throw the ball downfield. The quarterback is going to have to affect the game with his feet."
MATCH-UP NIGHTMARES
Two of Georgia's four leading receivers are tight ends and they help the Bulldogs create all kinds of mismatches for quarterback Stetson Bennett to exploit.
Brock Bowers is 6-4, 230 pounds with wide receiver athleticism and the ability to run like a tailback. Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken lines up Bowers all over, including in the backfield. The sophomore leads the team with 56 catches for 790 yards.
"Hybrid players cause problems for the defense because they have to realize and try to figure out what position he's playing," former Florida coach and ESPN analyst Dan Mullen said on The AP Top 25 College Football Podcast.
Mullen said a defense might want to roll coverage to Bowers and double-team team him, but that becomes a challenge without having a good idea of where he is lining up from play to play.
Darnell Washington is Georgia's more traditional tight end, but he is far from typical.
At 6-7, 270 pounds, Washington is powerful enough to block like a tackle and nimble enough to send down the seam of a defense. Washington left the Ohio State game in the first quarter with an left ankle. Smart said this week he was hopeful Washington could play against TCU.
There was much chatter last week about how TCU's 3-3-5 defense would hold up against Michigan's power running game. The Frogs gave up a bunch of big plays, but they kept the Wolverines from churning out yards on the ground and staying on schedule offensively.
Playing with three safeties, along with star cornerback Tre Hodges-Tomlinson, might benefit the Frogs against Georgia, which runs much of its offense with one running back and two tight ends on the field.
The Frogs want to avoid having Bowers matched against a linebacker. Then again, having Bowers and Washington rumbling through a bunch of defensive backs isn't a great option either.
QUENTIN vs. KELEE
Georgia's Kelee Ringo was one of the stars of last year's national championship game, with his game-sealing pick-6 against Alabama.
He's regarded as one of the top cornerbacks in the country, but Ohio State didn't shy away from throwing at Ringo when he was covering All-America receiver Marvin Harrison, who had a huge Peach Bowl before going out with a possible concussion.
TCU's Quentin Johnston, like Harrison, is a potential first-round draft pick who had a huge game in the semifinals with six catches for 163 yards and a score in the Fiesta Bowl. Johnston was limited by nagging injuries much of the season, but still was TCU's leading receiver.
"I think he's as good as there is in college football, and he seems healthy now," Kansas State coach Chris Kileman said.
PREDICTION: Georgia 42, TCU 24.

How to Get Canada Permanent Resident Visa?
Both Express Entry Program and Provincial Nomination Programs invite thousands of skilled individuals to come, stay & work in the country for an indefinite time period.
Express Entry Program took birth in the year 2015. The program was introduced by Canada so that a more systematic way of immigration could be worked upon. Before introduction of the Express Entry System, there used to be delayed visas, more processing time and first-come-first-served basis of selection. However, with the popular move of bringing Express Entry into picture, processing time has been cut down to 6-8 months. Moreover, candidates are now selected on the basis of a point system (Canada PR Point Calculator) rather than on first-come-first-served basis.
Do i Qualify for Canada PR?
Provincial Nomination Programs are offered by different provinces of Canada. Each provincial program has its own set of requirements and Occupation list. To be eligible to immigrate to Canada through a Provincial Nomination Program, your Job profile has to be there in the current occupation list of that particular province. Alongside, you must meet other eligible criteria laid down by that particular province.
How to apply for Canada Permanent Resident Visa?
To apply for Canada Permanent Residence Visa, you need to self-assess two things- a) which program is suitable for you, b) if you are eligible to proceed with your PR application.
These factors are deciding factors whether or not you are eligible to apply for Canada Permanent Residence Visa.
Documents required for Canada Permanent Residence Visa?
Educational qualification proof- degree(s), marksheet(s), etc.
Not all Job profiles make you eligible to apply for PR visa to Canada. Canada has its own Occupation List with those occupations listed that are facing workforce shortages and therefore requires skilled workers from outside the country to come and meet the shortage.
ECA stands for Educational Credential Assessment. The purpose of getting ECA done is to know your education's equivalency to that with Canadian standards. There are different assessing bodies in Canada which assesses your educational degrees depending on the field of study.
IELTS (International English Language Testing Standards) is a language proficiency test. Canadian authorities mandatorily require a language test to know your English language ability w.r.t Speaking, Writing, Reading & Listening. Make sure you score more than CLB (Canadian Language Benchmark) 8 to be eligible for the next step.
To excel in your IELTS, get professional assistance and study material kit from Talent Connected World Wide.
Filling Express Entry application is an online process. You can file your Express Entry under any of these three streams- Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
FSWP is a stream for highly skilled professionals whereas FSTP is for trade personnel (semi-skilled/unskilled labourers). CEC stream is for those candidates who are having a prior experience in Canada or with Canadian firm operating inside Canada.
You can apply for a Provincial Nomination Program if you are willing to reside and work in a particular province of Canada. If you manage to get a nomination, then extra CRS of 600 points will be awarded to you. Consequently, your chances of selection for Canada Permanent Residence visa increases.
After submitting your Express Entry Profile, you will reach the Express Entry pool. The pool consists of all other applicants like you who aspire to get a PR visa to Canada. CIC conducts regular draws (every fortnight) and invites applicants from the pool with highest scores.
After being selected from the pool, CIC will issue you an Invitation To Apply (ITA). ITA is a key to the final door of Canada PR visa! Within 60 days post receiving ITA, comply with documentation and get your Permanent Residence Visa to Canada!
A Permanent Resident Visa is valid for a period of 5 years after which it can be renewed. One can also apply for Citizenship of Canada after getting Permanent Resident Status! To become a lawful citizen of Canada, you first need to apply for Permanent Resident Visa. It is only after spending 3 consecutive years in the country; one is able to apply for Citizenship Test.
Note that Permanent Residency/ PR visa is the only way out to be a Citizen of Canada.
TCWW is a professional ICCRC-accredited Canada immigration consultancy headquartered in Ontario. We have over 7 years of working experience and have placed more than 6000 applicants in this time span.
The foremost reason behind our success is the professional Canada immigration experts we employ. Further, they are led by Ms. Rachal Sidhu who is an ICCRC accredited lawyer with many years of industry experience and complete knowledge of Canada immigration laws.

Q: read files from a directory to a list I'm new to Java and I stuck in a practice. The practice asked me to load the images from a directory and save them to a list.
I have to complete the load method in the below code and not changing the loadLibrary method. I understood that I need to read the images to allShreds but I cannot figure out the right syntax. I also read the Java documentation but didn't find the examples useful.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.nio.file.*;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

public class DeShredder {
    private List<Shred> allShreds = new ArrayList<Shred>();

    public void loadLibrary(){
        Path filePath = Path.of(UIFileChooser.open("Choose first shred in directory"));
        Path directory = filePath.getParent(); //subPath(0, filePath.getNameCount()-1);
        int count=1;
        while(Files.exists(directory.resolve(count+".png"))){ count++; }
        count = count-1;
        load(directory, count);
        display();
    }

    /**
     * Empties out all the current lists (the list of all shreds,
     * the working strip, and the completed strips).
     * Loads the library of shreds into the allShreds list.
     * Parameters are the directory containing the shred images and the number of shreds. * Each new Shred needs the directory and the number/id of the shred.
     */
    public void load(Path dir, int count) {
        allShreds.clear();
    }
}

The Shred class
public class Shred{

    public static final double SIZE = 40;
    private String filename;
    private int id;            // ID of the shred

    public Shred(Path dir, int id){
        filename = dir.resolve(id+".png").toString();
        this.id = id;
    }

    public void draw(double left, double top){
        UI.drawImage(filename, left, top, SIZE, SIZE);
    }

    public void drawWithBorder(double left, double top){
        UI.drawImage(filename, left, top, SIZE, SIZE);
        UI.drawRect(left, top, SIZE, SIZE);
    }

    public String toString(){
        return "ID:"+id;
    }

}

A: In your example, allShreds is an ArrayList containing Shred objects. The correct way for adding objects to Arraylist is calling the add method with appropriate object. In your case, you need to add Shred object to the ArrayList.
And, from your question, by Loads the library of shreds into the allShreds list, it is meant that, you only need to load the Shred into the list. Your display method will then do the rest of the work for drawing and displaying images.
So, basically you just have to loop through all the image id in the directory and create new Shred from that image id and directory. And, add each of the Shred to the list:
public void load(Path dir, int count) {
    allShreds.clear();

    for (int i = 1; i <= count; i++) {
        allShreds.add(new Shred(dir, i));
    }
}

About the query from your comment:

Can you please also explain what does while in loadLibrary do ?

while(Files.exists(directory.resolve(count+".png"))){ count++; }
Here, it seems that, for the given test, in the given directory, always there need to have files in this sequence - 1.png, 2.png, 3.png, etc.
Now, inside the while loop, at first value of count is 1 and directory.resolve(count+".png") returns the absolute path of 1.png inside that directory. Then Files.exists() check if the path containing 1.png really exists, which means if the file 1.png really exists inside the given directory. If it exists, then the loop proceeds, the value of count becomes 2 and again it checks if 2.png exists in given directory and so on until it finds a [count].png which doesn't exist in that directory.

A: This is little confusing. Your practice question reads: ".. I have to complete the load method in the below code and not changing the loadLibrary method".

*

*neither 'load' or 'loadeLibrary' is static. So assumption is the way you use DeShredder is following:

DeShreder deShreder = new DeShreder();
deShreder.loadLibrary(); //This would call `load`

*

*If you do not change loadLibrary method, actual choice of directory lies with loadLibrary. That means directory is already chosen. So why signature of load includes dir? What is the point of count parameter?

*Who decides how to write Shred class or is it already written?

*If you are to write it, should it not contain error handling because it may not be able to resolve the file?

There are few more questions but I think you get the point. I think the practice (question) is still not clear to you or it is pretty unfair.

When you visit your dentist at the Cosmetic Dentistry Center Brooklyn, do you make sure you book an appointment with your dental hygienist at the same time? We recommend that you do as this is an easy way to help maintain good dental health. While your dentist will check your teeth, gums and other oral tissues for any signs of disease, our dental hygienist will professionally clean your teeth. This is an important procedure that helps lower your risk of gum disease.
A professional cleaning removes tartar or calculus from the teeth. This is a hard substance that consists of bacteria and is created when dental plaque isn't thoroughly removed during regular brushing and flossing. Tartar produces toxins that will infect and inflame delicate gum tissue, eventually causing gingivitis to develop. If gingivitis isn't treated, it will develop into periodontitis, an extremely serious form of gum disease which often causes tooth loss. You cannot remove tartar at home as it is too hard which is why it has to be scaled or scraped off the teeth. It tends to develop near to the junction where your teeth meet the gums and right in between the teeth as these areas are harder to clean.
A dental hygienist will use special scaling tools to safely remove tartar, leaving all tooth surfaces beautifully clean. Afterwards they may selectively polish some teeth so they can appear slightly whiter than before. They will finish treatment by thoroughly flossing in between each tooth to ensure all tartar is removed.
How Often Do You Have to See Your Dental Hygienist?
Most people only need to see a dental hygienist every six months, but our dental hygienists work closely with our dentists and sometimes we will recommend you book more frequent visits. We may suggest this if you have signs of active gum disease that requires ongoing treatment or if you have other medical problems which affect your dental health.
While a large part of dental hygienists work is to ensure your teeth are thoroughly clean, they can also offer lots of advice on tooth care at home. If you would like some help then please do ask as we are more than happy to be able to educate our patients on oral health at home. For example, we can suggest various dental products which might be helpful for you and we can also demonstrate the easiest and most effective way to brush and floss. This should help maximize the efficacy of your oral hygiene routine, helping to keep your smile looking its best in between visits.
We can offer diet advice which can help reduce your risk of tooth decay and gum disease, and often our recommendations are surprisingly easy to implement and should not involve making any major changes to your normal diet. People frequently fail to consider how diet affects dental health, but in fact it can make a huge difference. You may not necessarily need to cut out foods, but perhaps something as easy as changing the timings of when you eat these foods might be sufficient.

Look for a Drug and Alcohol Rehab near me in Montevideo, MN.
It isn't that substance abusing individuals don't wish to put an end to the miserable existence that addiction can cause, nevertheless it will often take the concern and commitment of family members to pull them through the shame, denial and guilt they are harboring to get them into a quality drug treatment facility in Montevideo, Minnesota that can help them. So if you have somebody in your own life that has to have help for substance abuse, the last thing you want to do is enable them at all by allowing their problem to continue and perhaps supporting it knowingly or unknowingly. And certainly don't surrender or lose hope that something is possible, as there is always something which can be done for even the worst instances of substance abuse. So if you are thinking about giving up, or the individual just won't get help, an intervention is one thing that can be done that might easily work and be the turning point that can make things go in the most ideal direction for a family member who would have in all probability lost their lives because of their addiction. An intervention is not only a really straightforward process it is a quite effective one as well which has saved lives.
The initial step is selecting a drug rehab program which will make sense, considering the circumstances that exist. As an example, you will find less intensive centers available however, these centers will often be only a temporary solution even if they may appear to be easier and also economical in many cases. Long-term facilities, albeit a substantial commitment, which require an inpatient or residential stay would be the solutions which provide higher rates of success for clients. You can easily realize why, when you consider that the individual will have the time and space needed to be able to experience a more lasting recovery.

Olot és un dels tres municipis de la Garrotxa (amb Maià de Montcal i les Planes d'Hostoles) que no té escut oficialitzat. No obstant això, l'ajuntament utilitza un escut que no està oficialitzat i té el següent blasonament:

 Escut partit: al 1r, d'or, quatre pals de gules; al 2n, d'atzur, una ala d'argent. Per timbre, una corona reial oberta.

Història
L'escut d'Olot és partit. En el primer camper, s'hi representen els Quatre Pals, les armes de Catalunya, ja que la ciutat està sota jurisdicció reial des que en la reconstrucció dels terratrèmols de 1427 i 1428 se situà fora de la jurisdicció dels comtes de Ripoll. En el segon quarter hi és representada l'ala, senyal parlant del nom de la ciutat, antigament anomenada Aulot i Alot. De fet, és estesa la teoria que el nom "Olot" prové d'"ala". L'ús de l'ala com a senyal parlant a l'escut data del ; anteriorment es feu servir un bàcul pastoral que feia referència a la jurisdicció de l'abat de Santa Maria de Ripoll, senyor feudal d'Olot, però fou un símbol molt impopular.

Proposta d'oficialització

L'any 1990, el Departament de Governació de la Generalitat de Catalunya va oferir a l'Ajuntament d'Olot una proposta d'escut per tal d'oficialitzar-lo, on els canvis més importants eren l'adopció de la forma caironada, una corona mural i el fet que l'ala figurés al primer camper (i no al segon) i en diferent metall (en or, i no en argent). Els canvis no van ser ben rebuts i fins i tot l'any 1991 el Patronat d'Estudis Històrics d'Olot i Comarca va emetre un informe (a petició del mateix Ajuntament olotí) on s'hi mostrava en contra. Des d'aquest moment, l'Ajuntament no ha pres cap més iniciativa per intentar oficialitzar l'escut.

Conflicte
El problema de la no oficialització de l'escut d'Olot recau en tres punts bàsics que, o bé infringeixen la llei que regula els símbols dels ens locals de Catalunya, o bé incompleixen les lleis de l'heràldica:
 La forma de l'escut ha d'ésser caironada (ara és un escut quadrilong ibèric).
 La corona ha de ser una corona mural de ciutat (ara és una corona reial oberta).
 L'ordre dels campers s'ha d'invertir, ja que segons el reglament el senyal municipal ha d'ocupar un lloc preferent a l'escut respecte d'altres senyals, inclòs el dels Quatre Pals, i en heràldica, el primer camper és el més important.

Garretson Wilmot Gibson
HistoryPictures
Garretson Wilmot Gibson (20 May 1832 – 26 April 1910) was the 14th President of Liberia from 11 December 1900, to 4 January 1904. Born in Maryland, in the United States, his family emigrated to Liberia in 1835. After receiving an education in mission schools, he returned to Maryland to study theology. Ordained a priest, he served as rector of the Episcopalian Trinity Church in Monrovia. He also served as Chaplain of the Liberian Senate. Later, he served as President of the Trustee Board of Liberia College and at one time President of the College.
President Gibson began his political life as a Justice of the Peace. With the election of William D. Coleman as president in 1896, Gibson was appointed Secretary of the Interior. He was Secretary of State when Coleman resigned in 1900, and since there was no vice-president, Gibson was chosen to succeed him. He won the election that same year, and served until 1904, when his Secretary of the Treasury, Arthur Barclay, succeeded him. He died in Monrovia on April 26, 1910. (Source: Wikipedia)
Interesting Biographical Snippets
Prior to attaining the presidency, Gibson had had a long career in government including serving as Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of State.
In 1903, during Coleman's reign, the British forced a concession of Liberian territory to Sierra Leone, but tension along that border remained high.
Gibson was the last Liberian president to have been born in the United States.

Wine events postponed as Covid-19 hits
There's been one unmissable headline in March as coronavirus has hit every person and business in the UK – and wine makers, retailers and drinkers haven't escaped that.
It's been a challenging month for events globally, but everything from wine tastings to national conferences have been cancelled or postponed. In unprecedented times, the norm has been tipped on its head. While pubs and bars have been forced to closed, supermarkets and wine merchants have been put under enormous strain both in store and online, and buyers desperate to stock up on wine have been turning to their local vineyards.
The most notable cancellation from the UK wine calendar is the London Wine Fair, planned to take place on 18-20 May, 2020. As the Government increased restrictions on events it became less likely that the show could take place.
The organiser issued a statement on
20 March, which read: "It is with a heavy heart that Hemming Group Ltd is postponing London Wine Fair 2020. It remains inconclusive as to when, or for how long the Government might place restrictions on mass gatherings in the UK. Nonetheless the London Wine Fair team has taken the difficult decision to postpone this much-loved event.
"We are keenly aware that the developing Covid-19 pandemic is putting immense pressure on not only the events industry, but the drinks industry and the hospitality industry. We value our position at the heart of both and will always make decisions with them front of mind."
The Raw Wine Fair, which was supposed to take place in Covent Garden on 8-9 March also had to postpone its event. However, we don't know when these will take place in the future.
Although some vineyards attempted to keep their doors open for tours and tastings, with social distancing and increased cleaning in place, once Boris Johnson made his announcement on 23 March, it was no longer possible. The following day, social media and inboxes were flooded with cancellations, postponements and offers of delivery services.
The International Wine Challenge (IWC) also decided to move its judging process to November 2020 and results will be published just before the Christmas trading period.
All existing entries will be transferred automatically to the new judging dates. The IWC aims to process all wines entered in the coming weeks ahead of a UK lockdown. All wines will then be stored in a temperature controlled wine warehouse until November. The Merchant Awards UK will be judged keeping to the original timeline with an award announcement in July.
Following signs of life returning to normal in mainland China, IWC China will remain open and will be judged in June as planned. More information here: www.iwcchina.com/en
Chris Ashton, Director of IWC said: "We have been following UK Government and WHO advice and although the tasting may be small enough to be allowed to run, the fact that the judges come from all over the world makes it too significant a risk to all. Obviously, this is a very difficult situation for everyone and things are changing rapidly. I thank you for your patience and support and hopefully we will all be able to be prepared for when the virus is brought under control."

Q: Unable to upload 200mb PDF file in Java I am able to upload PDF files which has 7MB of data but i'm not able to upload more than 7MB. Can anyone provide example of how to upload a 200MB file using SMB protocol while using Angular code to handle the 200MB PDF file
Service Code:
SmbFileOutputStream sfos = new SmbFileOutputStream(efbiFile);
byte[] buf = new byte[1024 * 1024 * 200];
BufferedOutputStream bufos = new BufferedOutputStream(sfos,buf.length);
final ReadableByteChannel inputChannel =
Channels.newChannel(fileObj.getInputStream());
final WritableByteChannel outputChannel = Channels.newChannel(bufos);
ChannelTools.fastChannelCopy(inputChannel,outputChannel);
inputChannel.close();
outputChannel.close();

A: You most likely don't want to allocate a 200 MB buffer (new byte[1024 * 1024 * 200]). The purpose of the BufferedOutputStream is to improve the overall performance of many small writes, and not to store the entire input in the RAM.
You can use InputStream.transferTo(OutputStream ) method and start with default BufferedOutputStream size of 8196:
try (InputStream in = fileObj.getInputStream();
     SmbFileOutputStream sfos = new SmbFileOutputStream(efbiFile);
     BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(sfos)) {
  in.transferTo(out);
  out.flush(); // In case SmbFileOutputStream doesn't implement this correctly
}

Q: passing dictionary values between functions Python 3.8 , windows 10
Hi All, im pretty new to Python so please be nice :)
I am having problems on the final stage of a piece of code writing that interacts with a busAPI. (no I am not a bus spotter)
So far I have taken in data from a user
Validated the service is one we support
Retrieved pertinent data about the service
Retrieved route information for the service, and passed this to the final part where I'm meant to map it.
Unfortunately, it is only plotting one point, the end stop
I can see my functions interacting as I have copious amounts of debug logging going on so I can see data flowing between functions etc.
    ....
    ....

    1
    DEBUG 0: Returned from  bus_route(). Last Stop is Library , 51.89165 , 0.93706

As can be seen above I am getting consistent data across all my functions and my Pandas dataframe.
DEBUG 0 is the main funcntion
DEBUG 4 -comes from my function busroute. This queries a URL and returns the bust stops on the route. This is delivered with the bus stand name, and the lat and long of the bus stop. The final part of the busroute function passes the busstop, lat and long to the Map_it function
DEBUG 5 - is showing us that it is receiving the same data from the Bus_route function. finally , on line 19 you can see the pandas dataframe, again with the same information.
the ) is the index in my pandas data fram
the 1 is the number of items in the dictionary at that time ( total route is 53 items)
The data that comes in to my map_it function should plot the52 bus stops across a folium map. but it is only mapping the last one.

I think this is happening as the data that is passed over to the map_it function is being passed line by line and I suspect the dictionary is over written each time. hence the index of 0 against the datagram.
I get all the data in my bus_route function'
    What bus do you want?: 64
    The number 64 is a bus service we support
    DEBUG 0: From validate_bus() we got 64
    DEBUG 0: From bus_service(): Bus Number 64 , Traveling from: Greenstead, Essex, Traveling to: Shrub End, Essex

Here is my code for the two functions.

            route_64.save("route_maps/route_64.html ")

I cant see where to  create my dictionary as all i seem to get out in the bus_route() function is single lines. I realise if i could get the print statement to append to the dictionary then that would be my problem solved.

What is an IRC Bouncer?
An IRC bouncer is a type of relay server. In a nutshell, it allows you to be connected to our chat room 24/7, even if you shut off your computer.
If you are like me, you hate missing the conversation. Once you connect to the bouncer, you will get the backlog of conversation, so you can see if you missed anything.
Not at all. Instead of connecting your IRC client to freenode.net, you connect to our bouncer. The bouncer connects to freenode.net on your behalf. So when you disconnect, you only disconnect from the bouncer, while the bouncer stays connected to freenode.net.
Join us in IRC on freenode.net in room #sdphp. Participate in the conversation, and ask for access to it. You can use our bouncer as long as you don't abuse it, and we enjoy your conversation.

Acasă The Tile Club Interview with Richard Hassell
Interview with Richard Hassell
"I am interested in the possibilities of ceramics from a very high tech point of view, in terms of what kinds of high performance facades could be made from them, as well as very low tech - the beauty of ceramics."
In Singapore last November, on the occasion of our Roadshow dedicated to architecture and design, we had the pleasure to have Richard Hassell as a speaker, co-founder with Wong Mun Summ of WOHA , one of the most famous architectural practice in the southeast. The architect has kindly agreed to give us a brief interview.
1. What does creating architecture today mean to you?
We think it is a hugely exciting time, where architects once again can make a difference, rather than being stylists to the property development industry. Like the modernists in the early 20th century, there is emerging a fresh set of problems that need to be addressed. Some of these can be addressed at a building level, many of them only at a city and infrastructure level.
For the last 50 years, architects have been investigating form as the primary focus, while building typologies and urban design have been stagnant. This has reduced the role of the architect to that of a stylist - in many projects the brand-name architect does not even design the interior, but just sculpts a shell, which is then fitted out by a processing architect. This seems very sad to us, the reduction of architecture to a quick visual sound-bite, architecture reduced to a marketing gimmick, devoid of content.
We think there are lots of great areas to explore in the fields of density, in climatic design, in design of social and urban spaces, in 3-dimensional urban planning, in organizational strategies, in procurement, in infrastructure. These are the important issues where architectural training can make a difference, as the visionary, as the leader, as a person skilled in bringing together all kinds of experts and weaving a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts, as the champion of the end-user and citizen rather than the corporation.
2. What do you see as the architectural advantages of ceramics today, and on the other hand what do you think needs to be done to make this material more popular with the world of architecture and design?
Ceramics are a wonderful material, one of the most ancient, and certainly one of the most diverse in terms of qualities. I am interested in the possibilities of ceramics from a very high tech point of view, in terms of what kinds of high performance facades could be made from them, as well as very low tech - the beauty of fired earth. Then there is the technology that has been used to imitate wood and stone - what are the possibilities of that if we use it as a design tool rather than just using it for imitation? It would be very interesting to work with the factory to see if there beautiful applications that expressed the technology rather than suppressed it.
The high energy content of ceramics is something that needs to be addressed, perhaps a solar kiln would be interesting - using focused light directly as a heat source, and maybe would give a unique set of conditions that would give its own aesthetic, as does a wood-fired kiln. As manufacturing gets more perfectly controlled, and products more uniform, the more we search for methods and techniques that possess a kind of authenticity and truth in them, and the more we delight in natural variation. Imagine a set of facade panels, fired by the sun, that possessed a variation in glaze and finish that was in fact a record of the variable sunshine that occured at the time of firing - that were as beautiful as Japanese earthenware pottery.
3. What are you working on now?
I'm working on two main projects.
Oasia Downtown. Opening in 2015, the Oasia Downtown re-creates the ground in the sky gardens, which will be spacious and voluminous, covering the entire floor plate and lushly landscaped for recreational use and as part of the building experience. The building's green plot ratio is an unprecedented 750% and will stand out amongst the glassy high-rise towers in Singapore's Central Business District.
New Cuffe Parade, Wadala, Mumbai India. Slated for completion in 2018, we developed a series of lower technology but exciting strategies to make a more sustainable highrise residential development. We opened up the towers to allow all apartments to have cross-ventilation and natural light throughout by separating them with light slots. We slung terraces and decks within these slots, so people all the way up can have gardens and swimming pools - the green device becomes a lifestyle feature. One exciting feature is the windscoops to make the basement energy more efficient. These are based on ancient devices used in Hyderabad, where you catch the prevailing wind and funnel it down into a house, but here we are using it to naturally funnel fresh air into the basement.

Interview with Brian Cantor, Customer Contact Week – Part 3
By David Oates | August 7, 2018
We had the privilege of speaking with Brian Cantor, Principal Analyst and Digital Director of Customer Contact Week, about trends in the industry. In this final of a three-part series, we talk about the consumer's evolving ways to communicate with brands via voice, text, and chat – in other words, the evolving contact center. We also gleaned insight into what's coming up for CCW Austin in October. Take a look!
RB.AI: You alluded to the fact that a lot of people certainly don't necessarily like picking up the phone, it's not their first option — email and chat messenger are preferred. Is that true today? Or is that going to be true? That customer support chat is the dominant vehicle in today's contact center?
Brian Cantor: Because we ran a survey on this last year and we actually went out to several thousand average Joe or Jane consumers — not the people we typically talk to that are more on the business side, but actually what consumers want, and they actually did say that they preferred the phone for customer service via the contact center. And I think that that last qualifier is important. I think if you were to say — how do you prefer communicating with people? — you're going to say things along the lines of text or email or more digital tech space interactions. When you add the customer service or customer support qualifier, that's where people still think of the phone, and that's in many ways because there's an accountability associated with live chat agents in the contact center. So even though the initial process or the idea of calling is a hassle — and there's definitely things that go wrong when you call — you have to authenticate and you have to answer those annoying questions over and over, here's there's hold times and transfers and all that kind of stuff. But the customer ultimately knows that there's someone on the other end listening. There's someone on the other end adapting, and accountable for working on a solution.
So I think that that interest in a real person is not going to go away — the idea that you need to hold someone accountable so that they act fast enough, that they really take your issue seriously, that they really explore the nuances — that interest, I don't see going away anytime in the foreseeable future. What may change is the medium.
And that is, as people get more comfortable with the idea of — these people that they can truly hold accountable, the agents who know the product are knowledgeable, are in power to make real decisions — when they trust that they are available in SMS, or available in kind of a chat landscape, then they're going to feel more and more comfortable having those conversations with contact center representatives, because now they get their communication preference and they get that customer service accountability together. And they never have to sacrifice live agents. Because if you think of something like chat, you are still talking to a person.
So basically I see that as meeting the best of all worlds and that you have the quicker and more digital interactions, you have the accountability because people trust chat as a channel where things will get done, things will get resolved, and you also have the idea of, obviously, that you're talking to a live person, so you're not having to sacrifice that live component either. So I think as those all go together, you're going to look at the best outcome. Now, it may not be in the traditional web chat model, so I don't know that the future will be everyone kind of pressing that button, "start chat now", and then that's where the chat happens. But I do know that, the idea of a web chat regardless of platform, maybe it's more in a Facebook messenger situation, maybe it's a platform that hasn't been invented yet, but the idea of that kind of conversation, I absolutely see as the future of interactions. Because we're not going to give up on our demand for live agents, but we're increasingly going to tolerate less difficulty with the phone as we become more comfortable using these other channels, not just to communicate but for customer service as well.
And so what I also like about chat is that it serves as a very seamless breeding ground for AI. Within a chat conversation, you can use automated language or human language depending on the situation, the complexity of the issue and the needs of the customer. And you get to a point where the business can actually optimize everything based on that.
So if the issue, if you have a lot of volume, let's say power went out in a certain area and everyone kind of chats, complaining about the situation, that might be a case where automated language, where a bot is the most effective way to solve these problems, because they want a quick answer, they don't want to wait, and the bot has the answer they're looking for so they're not sacrificing any value of the interaction. So that will be an area where you can automate those responses within that channel.
Alternatively, there may be a case where it makes more sense for a live agent to be handling the customer chat, and that still happens within the same platform, within the same window.
So I like that seamless interplay where you could have automation handling some issues. You could have humans handling some issues. You can have them dividing different responses maybe while — you start with the bot qualifying the customer and then the live agent jumps in if needed. Maybe if the live agent has to jump to a different area, you use a bot in the interim. I think a lot of optimization play is around the idea of having both bots and humans interacting in the same platform, and that's another reason that I really like chat and why I see that as something that is worth continuing to pursue, if you're a customer experience, customer facing brand, really making sure that your customers know you have a robust offering there because they're going to be happy with the convenience that's familiar to them, and you're going to be ultimately able to end up delivering a very valuable experience for them.
RB.AI: CCW Austin is upcoming up. What are you looking forward to seeing there?
Brian Cantor: We're really excited about this program for a few reasons, and this is October 9 through 12 in Austin. We're thrilled that we've expanded the CCW brand into these different areas. Because obviously there's so many great people that are in the space that — whether they come to all three or just come to one — we're always happy to hear their viewpoints, understand their challenges, and leave them with something that they can take back and really put into place.
What I like is the key theme here, and it's really along the lines of delivering world class service with speed and efficiency. And representing an AI-based organization, this is very much the heart of what you do, it's the heart of what I recommend as well. And this is this idea of — the customer experience as we talked about the very beginning of the call, those contact center standards are higher than ever. They're not going down. They're not going anywhere. Customers aren't taking less. They still expect to be valued. They still expect their problems to be solved. They still expect you to create those magical moments, but they also don't want to wait around for those magical moments to happen. They're not going to hold their breath. So they do value speed.
So what's great about this is that, not only does this concept really apply to businesses who want to do more with less, it actually aligns with what customers are looking for from the contact center, which is getting more with less time. I think that this really ties very deeply into what business stakeholders and what customers really want from the customer experience and what contact center agents can deliver.
Now in terms of the actual program, it's headlined by Daymond John. He appears on Shark Tank. So obviously a great business leader as someone who has had success within the business world and also thinking about a variety of different offerings and how those can connect with customers via the contact center. And also he definitely has a lot of inspirational stuff on goal setting as well. So he's not just going to be typical — here's how you budget a call center — but really getting people thinking about what it takes to be a leader who can drive change within their organizations. And then some strong keynotes from people within the MBA and Dow Jones and Microsoft. And a wide variety — tons of great speakers — and obviously put together by our really strong advisory board.
So we're very happy to have a great speaking faculty. We know we're going to have great attendees, a great core theme for the event and some great partners on board as well as sharing some great solutions.
So everything that we just came back enjoying from in Vegas I think is going to be really great here. Just with new faces, new ideas, and a really robust theme and I can't wait for it to happen.

Sympathetic Vibratory Physics » transform
"A dynamo-electric machine is placed at any given spot; its object, being put in action, is to withdraw from the earth its neutral electricity, to decompose it into its two conditions and to collect, upon accumulators, the electricity thus separated. As soon as the accumulators are charged, the electricity is disposable; that is, our lamps can be lighted. But what is marvelous in all this is that the forces of nature can be transformed at will. Should we not wish for light, we turn a knob and we have sound, heat, motion, chemical action, magnetism. Little seems wanting to create intelligence, so entirely do these accumulated forces lend themselves to all the transformations which their engineer may imagine and desire. But let us consider how greatly superior is our cerebral mechanism. In order to light a theatre we require a wide space, a dynamo-electric machine of many horse-power, accumulators filling many receptacles, a considerable expense in fuel, and clever mechanicians. In the human organism these engines are in miniature, one decimeter cube is all the space occupied by our brain; no wheels, no pistons, nothing to drive the apparatus, we suffice ourselves. In this sense, each of us can say, like the philosopher Biaz:- Omnia mecum porto. Our cerebral organ not only originates motion, heat, sound, light, chemical actions, magnetism, but it produces psychic forces, such as will, reasoning, judgment, hatred, love, and the whole series of intellectual faculties. They are all derived from the same source, and are always identical to each other, so long as the cerebral apparatus remains intact. The variations of our health alone are capable of causing a variation in the intensity and quality of our productions.[Keely, Vibratory Physics - The Connecting Link between Mind and Matter]
Just a slight positively surcharged motive or stimulative influence is enough to discharge the blood of the Earth, the extremely pressure-sensitive accumulator of the true life-forces in statu nascendi, which it accumulates in order to transform them into reactivated formative (levitative) or disintegrative (retrogressive) energies. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, Cadaverine Poison in Ray-Form - Ptomaine Radiation]
In Nature the purpose of temperature-form T1, which is associated with flow-form F1, is to transform [1]the condensed (allotropic) inner elements of organisms into aethero-energetic animating and kinetic energies. These T1 temperature-forms gives rise to falling and concentrating heat and exhibits rising and expanding cold effects. T2 triggers reduction processes and fosters apathogens. If T1 predominates, then an increase in raw materials and the qualitative improvement of all products of growth result. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, NEW FORMS OF TEMPERATURE]
If specifically heavy high- quality water is atomised and the resultant water vapour is compressed by a descending piston[6.1] with a simultaneous infusion of atmospheric oxygen, then this aqueous mixture of air is instantaneously transformed into increased and highly potentiated stocks of new air. The expansive pressure produced in this way corresponds to the power of about 2,000 atmospheres per litre of water. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, The Life-Current in Air and Water]
Therefore if the media of water or air are moved naturalesquely (and the trick is how to do this) then the bipolar gases are initially transformed into aetheric and ultimately into energetic stocks of subtle matter. These are then bound in the self-evolving juvenile media (air and water) and what has been increased in this way is rendered homogenous and specifically densified. That is to say, they intensify the carrying capacity and tractive force to such a degree that in such waters material with a higher specific weight than the transporting medium, even ore with a specific weight of 1.9, readily floats down the centre of the axis, where the strongest suctional force acts downstream and the strongest reactive force acts upstream in the form of a dynagen gradient, but which, however, has no effect on raw material structures to the extent that these do not involve life-forms. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, The Life-Current in Air and Water]
Magnetism and electricism are the two opposing metaphysical energy-forms, which regulate life and death and which dwell in every solid, liquid and gaseous (aeriform) mass (matter) in an allotropic and latent transitional state. They await the all-important developmental impulse in order to be transformed into higher-grade (life-affirming) or lower-grade (life-negating) forms of energy. In the former case a magnetolytic dissociation process plays the mediatory role and in the latter an electrolytic. The belief that magnetism was a passive and uninteresting by-product of electricism arose merely because nobody was aware of the type of motion that gives rise to higher-grade energy-forms. Nor were they aware of the associated dynamic shapes with which latent bipolar dynagens and their carrier-substance can be accelerated in such a way naturalesquely that, in accordance with the equation F = ma, the force responsible for the increase in substance and qualitative improvement (ennoblement) arises with whose aid the relatively highest grade energy-form can come into being. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, Magnetism - Electricism]
In reality, for the last 2000 years the opposite has happened. Only the Catholic Church, even if merely symbolically, has indicated the naturalesque way to transform matter into spirit. On the other hand, in all areas of the [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, Magnetism - Electricism]
These opposing executive forces are to be found in statu nascendi in every solid, liquid and gaseous (air) medium and in the highest-grade transitional state in the vitamin-molecules of the air and water, where they await the liberating motive impulse so as to be transformed into life-affirming magnetic or predominantly life-negating electric fuel concentrates (ions). The forces involved in these metaphysical transformation processes are in the ratio of 96% : 4%. The predominant force in this process can either be the up-building, formative motive force or its decomposive counterpart. Whichever force is subordinate, down to a minimum of 4%, provides the resistance required for all types of motion. Everything is ordered through the agency of 'magnetolytic' or 'electrolytic' processes of dissociation. Both energetic processes are of almost equal value, but differ only in function. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, Magnetism is the Function of Levitism and Electricism is the Function of Gravitism]
between two basic substances). This is how the highest-grade element of matter, the floating vitamin-molecule, is created. While it contains too much raw material to be able to float upwards of its own accord (autonomously), it nevertheless does not gravitate, because it is already endowed with strong levitational forces. Indeed in this state, and after the loss of the higher-grade heat- and light-creating forces, it only requires a slight invigorating (cooling) impulse to transform such a mass of ennobled matter into the relatively highest light- and temperature-less state. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, Magnetism is the Function of Levitism and Electricism is the Function of Gravitism]
A small, temperature-increasing, material or physical axial->radial impulse suffices to transform such a concentration of highly critical threshold matter in a latent state into the relatively most powerful, destructive energy, whose decomposive force increases in proportion to the strength of the impulse. Thus, for example, a lightning-like recoil in the form of a descending ion is triggered, which with elemental ur-force disintegrates the resistance that brakes its lightning descent. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, Magnetism is the Function of Levitism and Electricism is the Function of Gravitism]
put it bluntly, instead of being radially->axially wound up, the ur-works were wound up like a clock-spring in the opposite way, i.e. axially->radially. To date this false 'winding' has been taught and learnt in all schools and preached from all pulpits. Only the Catholic Church, if merely symbolically, has indicated the naturalesque way to transform high-grade matter into Spirit (energy). However they were unable to recognise the truth, because they believed and also fostered the belief, that after death the earthly remains of fatty-matter, out of which allotropic threshold substances - vitamin-molecules - come into being, decay into dust and ashes. Therefore, due to electrolytic processes of decomposition (unnatural form of interment), the metaphysical fat-concentrates cannot come into being, which are the source of spiritual energy that makes all life invincible, free and independent. Perhaps this was considered undesirable so as to ensure the docility of slave-workers by spiritually castrating them through suppression of the build-up of quality substances, thereby making a constant supply of working oxen available. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, Magnetism is the Function of Levitism and Electricism is the Function of Gravitism]
"In the outbirth of water we have to differentiate between two different kinds. Namely water as a carrier-substance that contains predominantly negative potentialities (substances attuned to earth frequencies) or predominantly positive potentialities (substances attuned to air frequencies). The former are to be viewed as upwardly-impelling geospheric instrumentalities and the latter as downwardly-impelling atmospheric instrumentalities. The former refine and exalt the higher-grade constituents, i.e. they serve the build-up of levitative potencies. The latter serve to cleanse the atmosphere of suspended matter, which as threshold substances still possess too little self-weight and too high a quota of levitative essences and can neither rise nor fall. It is these threshold substances that can be transformed and exalted through cycloid-space-curve motion. From a practical point of view, this is only possible through their co-oscillation with their respective carrier-substances, be it air or water. This leads to a build-up of those substances incapable of further development, resulting in a renewed intensification of the differences in potential through the spacial separation of the difference-substances. The end result is an increased motive force. This explains the concept of perpetual motion in its most natural sense." [Viktor Schauberger, Implosion Magazine, No. 118, p. 8.] [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, THE NATURE OF WATER - ITS CONDUCTION AND USE FOR TRANSPORT]
The energy that can be gained through bio-dynamic motion manifests itself in an increase in tractive force and carrying capacity, which appear primarily in the pipe-axis. Here the water is densified inhomogenously, because its contained gases are transformed into non-spacial dynagens.[9] As a result the core-water surges ahead like a ball of energy with increasing velocity. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, The Transport of Ore in Double-Spiral-Flow Pipes]
[9] Inhomogenously: Since some of the water's gases are transformed into a non-spacial state through densation and the remaining water is densified through cooling, two different states of densation exist and therefore the water is densified inhomogenously. Similarly, despite the overall cooling of the water, the peripheral flow are always warmer than the central core. - Ed. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, The Transport of Ore in Double-Spiral-Flow Pipes]
This product of synthesis is characterised by the fact that the ratio between oxygen and its carbone counterpart is 4% : 96%, because all the remaining oxygen has been transformed into fertilising substances and then bound. Therefore the new product of synthesis has the highest negative valency and is of geospheric character. Certain factors relating to these processes should be noted: In the scientific synthesising process heat has a shrivelling effect on the decisive formative substance in its nascent state, while physical pressure ruptures its outer envelope. In the case of coal liquefaction by means of cold flows the increasing cooling on the developmental path acts to increase the potential. However, since the increase in the potential of the true formative substance is of a purely energetic nature, it would be unable to break through the outer envelope had this not been mechanically abraded through the circumvolution and inner rotation (gyrate within and about itself|about itself and its own axis) caused by the increasing frictional pressure arising from the doubly increased velocity of the whole water-body. These differences demand the closest attention and consideration. The product of synthesis obtained by means of cold flows, binds itself into its own waste product (juvenile water). Therefore apart from a new, fresh and more highly cultured energy, an associated carrier-substance of the highest order is also created at the expense of the gradually transforming (internally reconstituted) stocks of old water. This two-fold transformation represents the increase and the qualitative improvement of what has been quantitatively increased (the growth of water). The finished product is a crystal-clear water that has neither taste, nor smell, nor colour, because in this product of synthesis all kinds of things are on the loose or have been loosed (emancipated), i.e. they have been raised to the [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, The Liquefaction of Coal by Means of Cold Flows]
If this product of synthesis, almost exclusively composed of geospheric energies, is atomised and atmospheric oxygen simultaneously infused through nozzles (viz. other forms of fertilisation), thus charging it with fertilising substances (these become passive at high centripetal velocity) and if this whole mixture is lightly compressed (warmed) by a descending piston, then the mixture is instantaneously transformed into the next higher state of development or aggregation, namely into air. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, The Liquefaction of Coal by Means of Cold Flows]
That this tremendous pressure expresses itself silently requires no special comment. That, as a high-grade air, this product of transformation has a more beneficial effect on the environment and development generally than the waste matter of explosive processes, also goes without saying. That this high-grade product of transformed air does not smell, is without doubt. In this way what was striven for has been achieved, namely a far higher exploitable pressure than is produced by any form of petrol (gasoline). Moreover, it is an incombustible pressure-creating substance that neither (stinks nor creates a din, and its beneficial effect can be raised to any desired level, so that in practice the smallest quantities are enough to achieve any desired effects.

Industry Perspective
'Produced' Water an Economic Opportunity
What is produced water? It bubbles up from the ground when you drill for oil.
Galen Sanford May 13, 2010
When the Massey coal mine exploded last month, other mines continued to produce. When an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico exploded a few weeks ago, other platforms kept pumping. The natural gas industry has weathered its own tragedies, as it will in the future.
Until renewable and sustainable energy sources enter mass production, citizens in the developed world will ensure that demand for carbon-based energy remains steady. And so long as demand for carbon-based energy exists, there will be an industry devoted to treating the water produced during energy exploration and extraction.

The term 'produced water' refers to effluents that rise to the surface during energy drilling or extraction. This includes water naturally occurring alongside energy deposits, as well as water injected into the ground during a drilling process called 'hydraulic fracturing.'
Current energy exploration and extraction in the United States creates 15-20 billion barrels of produced water each year. Worldwide, estimates top 50 billion barrels. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, for every barrel of oil produced globally, an average of three barrels of water are produced. In the United States, the water to oil / gas ratio (WOR) averages seven barrels of water to one of oil. In the worst cases, the WOR reaches 50 to 1. Energy companies pay between $3 – $12 to dispose of each barrel of produced water.
That's a lot of water to clean -- and a steep premium to pay. Further, traditional practices face increased opposition by environmentalists, local and state governments, and public lawsuits that allege produced water is escaping containment pits and entering streams and ground water.
Traditionally, produced water is stored temporarily in containment pits. It is then handled one of two ways: either trucks haul the water to treatment facilities or the water is evaporated in pits and then the dry dregs are trucked to landfills or designated dumping sites.
During hydraulic fracturing, a line of trucks brings clean water to use in the fracturing procedure. After the fracture is complete, another line of trucks hauls the contaminated water to treatment facilities. Hauling water to the site just to haul more water out later is inherently inefficient compared to methods that promise to keep the entire treatment process on-site.
Produced water
A number of companies are announcing new technologies to mitigate the costs, inefficiencies and risks associated with open treatment pits and hauling toxic water via trucks.
The technologies, including forward osmosis and self-contained evaporation, are intended to please energy companies and the public alike: energy companies win because water is treated on-site, saving on transportation costs. The public and the environment win because water emerges from treatment clean and reusable (some is so clean it can be reintroduced into the rivers from which it was extracted).
These technologies, each already producing profits, make environmentally sound water treatment affordable for energy companies faced with narrowing margins.
Companies like 212 Resources, Hydration Technology Innovations, Ecosphere Technologies and Aqua-Pure Ventures are entering an expanding market at the perfect time: last year, legislation entered in the House and Senate to cancel the energy industry's exemption from the Clean Water Act. If the legislation becomes law, energy companies will face heightened standards of water treatment -- and they'll likely be required to retire traditional containment pits in favor of new, self-contained, on-site water treatment.
The current market for treating produced water is estimated to exceed $4.3 billion for the next five years, and that market will expand whether or not regulations increase.
The public thirsts for energy. Until alternative energy sources enter the mainstream over the next few decades, energy exploration and hydraulic fracturing will continue, and as long as they continue, they will contribute to the growth of the produced water industry.
This post comes from the BlueTech Blog, an open forum for discussion on water issues sponsored by the Artemis Project. Artemis will announce its list of the top 50 water companies at its BlueTech Innovation Forum June 8 in San Francisco. (Disclosure, I'm participating. Water is one of the biggest issues out there.)
