Slowdown blues: New solar power installations decline 35% in the first half of 2019
Solar installations in the first half (H1) of 2019 reached 3.2 gigawatts (GW), a decline of 35 per cent, compared to 5.1 GW of capacity added in the first half of 2018, says a report published by research agency Mercom India

New solar power installations, one of the fastest growing and most vibrant business segments in the country for the past few years due to liberal incentives, is facing a slowdown.
Solar installations in the first half (H1) of 2019 reached 3.2 gigawatts (GW), a decline of 35 per cent, compared to 5.1 GW of capacity added in the first half of 2018, says a report published by research agency Mercom India. Installations in the Indian solar market declined by 14 per cent in the second quarter of 2019 reaching 1,510 MW, compared to 1,761 MW in Q1 of 2019. Installations were also lower year-on-year (YoY) compared to 1,665 MW in Q2 of 2018. The current quarter capacity addition is the lowest since the first quarter of 2017.
India had added over 2000 MW of solar in all the quarters of 2017. The first quarter of 2018 witnessed a record 3500 MW new installations. Since then, the capacity additions had been gradually declining.
"It has been a rough couple of quarters for the Indian solar market, exacerbated by tough lending conditions. Post elections, we expect the second half of the year to be slightly better, but the liquidity issues need to be resolved for market momentum to return," said Raj Prabhu, CEO, and co-founder of Mercom Capital Group. Further, tariff caps imposed by government agencies caused developers becoming reluctant to bid at the levels prescribed by state agencies, instead of a market-based auction in which the lowest bid wins. Land acquisition, transmission, and acquiring approvals are also troubling project developers to commission large-scale projects on time. Developers are also objecting the move of imposing charges for forecasting and scheduling power during drastic changes in weather conditions.
Adding more woes, states like Andhra Pradesh is trying to renegotiate and revisit solar and wind power purchase agreements (PPAs) to get cheapest solar power. The issue is now before courts. "The industry is waiting for a ruling from the courts that sets a precedent for future cases and makes it difficult for government agencies to cancel or renegotiate signed contracts," added Prabhu.
The report says decline in large scale installations is the main reason for the decline in capacity addition. In Q2 2019, large-scale installations totalled 1,218 MW compared to 1,498 MW in Q1 2019 and 1,250 MW installed in Q2 2018. The large-scale solar project development pipeline has increased to 22 GW. About 34 GW of solar has been tendered and was pending to be auctioned at the end of the quarter.
However, rooftop installations grew by 11 per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) in Q2 2019, totalling 292 MW compared to 263 MW installed in Q1 2019, though rooftop installations fell by 30 per cent YoY compared to 415 MW installed in Q2 2018. Total power capacity additions in the first half of 2019 was 8 GW in India from all power generation sources and of this, solar represented 41 per cent of the capacity, closer to 42 per cent accounted by coal fired power plants.
According to the report, India's cumulative installed capacity stood at 31.5 GW by the end of Q2 2019. However, rooftop installations only make up for 12 per cent of total solar installations and the country has achieved only 10 per cent of its target capacity addition of 40 GW by 2022. Mercom India Research estimates India to install over 8 GW of solar capacity in 2019 and solar installations will reach approximately 70 GW by the end of 2022 based on the current market dynamics.

PASADENA, CA–If the 10th season of American Idol turns out to be as dull as the American Idol TCA panel, this deal is in trouble.
This morning's TCA session had its moments–mainly a few quips from Stephen Tyler and Jennifer Lopez's outrageous leopard-print pumps–but missing from the session was the blunt Brit, the straw that stirred this drink, Simon Cowell. Cowell always told the truth here at press tour, and his candid banter was sorely missed. One memorable press tour session, the other Idol judges made no effort to cover up for last minute no-show Paula Abdul. Those were the days.
This morning, there was no tension in the room, just the usual promo blather we get in other sessions. Phrases like, "we're going to kick it up a notch" landed with a thud. Ryan Seacrest sat silent throughout save for a few murmurs. There were nine people up on the stage, as if sheer numbers would make up for the fact that Cowell was adios.
Even Tyler and Lopez looked bored about 10 minutes into the packed press tour session. Tyler woke up in time to get in a few colourful zings. He got rock star macho at one point, gushing about Lopez to the point other panel members started reminding Tyler that J-Lo's hubby Marc Anthony was in the room. Tyler's excuse was that he was Italian, and, well, these things happen.
Returning executive producer Nigel Lithgoe revealed that the contestants will be in Vegas at one point to attend the Beatles Love show and that they'll be challenged to learn a Beatles song in a day. That doesn't sound that tough.
Returning judge Randy Jackson, we learned, has slid down to Simon's old chair on the judging panel. Dawg.
Stood next to Tyler in the crowded post session scrum. The dude wears snake skin sneakers. When I asked him why, he said it was because his feet are so messed up, somebody in his posse tricked these shoes out for him. Dangling from his neck were enough chains to make Mr. T jealous, including one with a silver, bejeweled skull on it. If you were going out for Halloween as a glammed up rock star, this is exactly the getup you would search for at The Party Factory.
Tyler told me he has had no conversations at all with Cowell, just never happened. A reporter who has covered him for years from the music side told him he was lookin' good, what was his secret. As he was dragged offstage by a beefy security guard, he said he has been sober for a year. I'm not saying I hope he falls off the wagon, but it would really juice up the show.
Lopez looked great up close and from a distance. North American viewers will also want to get close enough to smell her Jan. 19 and 20 when Idol returns. With Simon gone, however, there's a different kind of stink on this show that Lopez's many fragrant scents simply can't mask. Seacrest out.


In the present case the adjudicating authority has acted mechanically and rejected the application under sub-section (5)(ii)(d) of Section 9 without examining and discussing the aforesaid issue. If the adjudicating authority would have noticed the provisions as discussed above and what constitute and as to what constitute 'dispute' in relation to services provided by operational creditor then would have come to a conclusion that condition of demand notice under subsection (2) of Section 8 has not been fulfilled by the corporate debtor and the defence claiming dispute was not only vague, got up and motivated to evade the liability.
The only question arises for considered in this appeal is what does "dispute" and "existence of dispute" means for the purpose of determination of a petition under section 9 of the 'I & B Code'?
In sub-section (1) of Section 8 of the 'I & B Code', though the word "may" has been used, but in the context of Section 8 and Section 9 reading as a whole, an 'Operational Creditor,' on occurrence of a default, is required to deliver a notice of demand of unpaid debt or get copy of the invoice demanding payment of the defaulted amount served on the corporate debtor. This is the condition precedent under Section 8 and 9 of the 'I & B Code', before making an application to the Adjudicating Authority.
Thus it is evident from Section 9 of the 'I& B Code' that the Adjudicating Authority has to, within fourteen days of the receipt of the application under sub-section (2), either admit or reject the application.
Section 9 has two-fold situations in so far as notice of dispute is concerned. As per sub-section (5)( 1 )(d) of Section 9, the Adjudicating Authority can admit the application in case no notice raising the dispute is received by the operational creditor (as verified by the operational creditor on affidavit) and there is no record of a dispute is with the information utility.
occurrence of default has to be ascertained and satisfaction recorded by the Adjudicating Authority, there no similar provision under Sections 9.
Under Section 7 neither notice of demand nor a notice of dispute is relevant whereas under Sections 8 and 9 notice of demand and notice of dispute become relevant both for the purposes of admission as well as for and rejection. Though the words 'prima facie' are missing in Sections 8 and 9 of the Code, yet the Adjudicating Authority would examine whether notice of dispute in fact raises the dispute and that too within the parameters of two definitions – 'debt' and 'default' and then it has to reject the application if it apparently finds that the notice of dispute does really raise a dispute and no other factual ascertainment is required. On the other hand, if the Adjudicating Authority finds that the notice of dispute lacks in particulars or does not raise a dispute, it may admit the application but in either case, there is neither an ascertainment of the dispute, nor satisfaction of the Adjudicating Authority.
(c) breach of a representation or warranty.
The definition of "dispute" is "inclusive" and not "exhaustive". The same has to be given wide meaning provided it is relatable to the existence of the amount of the debt, quality of good or service or breach of a representation or warranty.
Once the term "dispute" is given its natural and ordinary meaning, upon reading of the Code as a whole, the width of "dispute" should cover all disputes on debt, default etc. and not be limited to only two ways of disputing a demand made by the operational creditor, i.e. either by showing a record of pending suit or by showing a record of a pending arbitration.
The intent of the Legislature, as evident from the definition of the term "dispute", is that it wanted the same to be illustrative (and not exhaustive). If the intent of the Legislature was that a demand by an operational creditor can be disputed only by showing a record of a suit or arbitration proceeding, the definition of dispute would have simply said dispute means a dispute pending in Arbitration or a suit.
The statutory requirement in sub-section (2) of Section 8 of the 'I & B Code' is that the dispute has to be brought to the notice of the Operational Creditor. The two comes post the word 'dispute' (if any) have been added as a matter of convenience and/or to give meaningfulness to sub-section (2) of Section 8 of the 'I & B Code'. Without going into the grammar and punctuation being hapless victim of pace of life, if one discovers the true meaning of sub-section (2)(a) of Section 8 of the 'I & B Code', having regard to the context of Sections 8 and 9 of the Code, it emerges both from the object and purpose of the 'I & B Code' and the context in which the expression is used, that disputes raised in the notice sent by the corporate debtor to the Operational Creditor would get covered within sub-section (2) of Section 8 of the 'I & B Code'.
under sub-section (21) of Section 3 of the 'I & B Code' and would become inconsistent thereto, and would bar Operational Creditor from invoking Sections 8 and 9 of the Code.
Sub-section (6) of Section 5 read with sub-section (2)(a) of Section 8 also cannot be confined to pending arbitration or a civil suit. It must include disputes pending before every judicial authority including mediation, conciliation etc. as long there are disputes as to existence of debt or default etc., it would satisfy subsection (2) of Section 8 of the 'I & B Code'.
ii. By simply bringing to the notice of an operational creditor, record of the pendency of a suit or arbitral proceedings in relation to a dispute. In this case, the dispute in the suit/arbitral proceeding should relate to matters (a)-(c) in sub-section (6) of Section 5 and in this case, showing a record of pendency of a suit or arbitral proceedings on a dispute is enough and to intent of the Legislature is clear, i.e. once the dispute (on matters relating to 3 classes in sub-section (6) of Section 5 of the 'I & B Code') is pending adjudication, that in itself would bring it within the ambit of sub-section (6) of Section 5 of the 'I & B Code'.
Thus the definition of 'dispute', 'operational debt' is read together for the purpose of Section 9 is clear that the intention of legislature to lay down the nature of 'dispute' has not been limited to suit or arbitration proceedings pending but includes other proceedings "if any".
raised by the corporate debtor. The scope of existence of 'dispute', if any, which includes pending suits and arbitration proceedings cannot be limited and confined to suit and arbitration proceedings only. It includes any other dispute raised prior to Section 8 in this in relation to clause (a) or (b) or (c) of sub-section (6) of Section 5. It must be raised in a court of law or authority and proposed to be moved before the court of law or authority and not any got up or malafide dispute just to stall the insolvency resolution process.
While sub-section (2) of Section 8 deals with "existence of a dispute", sub-section (5) of Section 9 does not confer any discretion on adjudicating authority to verify adequacy of the dispute. It prohibits the adjudicating authority from proceeding further if there is a genuine dispute raised before any court of law or authority or pending in a court of law or authority including suit and arbitration proceedings. Mere a dispute giving a colour of genuine dispute or illusory, raised for the first time while replying to the notice under Section 8 cannot be a tool to reject an application under Section 9 if the operational creditor otherwise satisfies the adjudicating authority that there is a debt and there is a default on the part of the corporate debtor.
The onus to prove that there is no default or debt or that there is a dispute pending consideration before a court of law or adjudicating authority shift from creditor to debtor and operational creditor to corporate debtor.
The dispute as defined in sub-section (6) of Section 5 cannot be limited to a pending proceedings or "lis", within the limited ambit of suit or arbitration proceedings, the word 'includes' ought to be read as "means and includes" including the proceedings initiated or pending before consumer court, tribunal, labour court or mediation, conciliation etc. If any action is taken by corporate debtor under any act or law including while replying to a notice under section 80 of CPC, 1908 or to a notice issued under Section 433 of the Companies Act or Section 59 of the Sales and Goods Act or regarding quality of goods or services provided by 'operational creditor' will come within the ambit of dispute, raised and pending within the meaning of sub-section (6) of Section 5 read with sub-section (2) of Section 8 of I&B code, 2016.
From the reply of the respondent-corporate debtor to the notice under section 8 of the code it could be seen that it has not raised any dispute within the meaning of sub-section (6) of Section 5 or sub-section (2) of Section 8 of I&B Code, 2016 and in that view of the matter, merely on some or other account the respondent has disputed to pay the amount, cannot be termed to be dispute to reject the application under Section 9 of the I&B Code, 2016 as was preferred by appellant-operational creditor.
The requirement under sub-section (3)(c) of Section 9 while independent operational creditor to submit a certificate from the financial institution as defined in sub-section (4) of section 3 including Scheduled Bank and public financial institution and like which is a safeguard prevent the operational creditor to bring a non-existence or baseless claim. Similarly the adjudicating authority is required to examine before admitting or rejecting an application under Section 9 whether the 'dispute' raised by corporate debtor qualify as a 'dispute' as defined under sub-section (6) of Section 5 and whether notice of dispute given by the corporate debtor fulfilling the conditions stipulated in sub-section (2) of Section 8 of I&B Code, 2016.

The second half of my family's trip to Chile was planned completely around visiting my Dad's host family from when he was an AFS student in high school! He lived in Rengo, Chile for one half of his year, and we spent two nights at his family's home in the countryside outside the city. We had an amazing time meeting everyone and hearing stories from his time in Chile. They also treated us to some wonderful food and graciously allowed us to realax by their pool.
I especially loved walking around the plaza and the main streets of Rengo. There were still some New Year's and Christmas decorations up, which felt pretty strange with the Summer weather, but at the same time festive in a way we don't experience in the US. And as always I was a huge fan of thebright florals, palm trees and colorful homes!
This part of the trip was especially meaningful because it is what brought our entire family to Chile. Without my Dad's experience we would not have been able to spend a few days experiencing daily life with this family. During other trips I have purely been a tourist, so this was a nice change of pace and allowed us to see a more authentic version of life in Chile. Enjoy!


2018 was a huge year for the Australian car scene. Due to local law enforcement, the past few years have seen a decline in the activity surrounding the scene and events catering to the enthusiasts. For the most part, there are a few big events and the occasional meet. The crew from Hot Import Nights wanted to change this.
Hot Import Nights is an American based automotive event powerhouse that has taken many titles within the car scene, but their most recent acquisition is breaking into the Aussie show circuit. 2017 saw the first event at Sydney's Olympic Park showgrounds, which wasn't too bad for a taste test to see how it would stand up. 2018 came around and they killed it! Moving the event to the larger halls and filling it with quality over quantity was always going to be a recipe for success.
The theme this year seemed to be Wide and Low, with many opting for "bolt-on" style flares to fit huge wheels and airbags rather than static to get the chassis touching the concrete. The quality of builds this year jumped up from 2017's event and saw more interstate cars making the trek to Sydney.
You'd be mistaken if you thought a car show was just about cars. HIN also had on offer, a street dancing competition, loads of vendor stalls, a food truck alley, DJ's, Sneaker swapmeet and the famous Miss HIN competition (Props to my friend Kara for taking the win!).
If 2018 is anything to go by, i can't wait to see what 2019 has to offer.

Describe a time when you told your friend an important truth
February 2, 2021 January 10, 2021 by IELTS Pages
Describe a time when you told your friend an important truth.
Who your friend is?
What was the truth?
What your friend's reaction was?
Explain why it was important for you to tell the truth to your friend.
IELTS CUE CARD ANSWER
We all tend to behave diplomatically in our lives to avoid conflicts.
However, sometimes it becomes necessary, to tell the truth, irrespective of the outcome.
Last year I had to face such a situation when I had no option but, to tell the truth to my friend.
Andrew is my bosom friend.
We studied together for ten years.
To move our career towards an impressive growth trajectory, we opted for Information technology as a career.
We both appeared for an interview in one of the renowned IT companies of our nation.
I had passed all the rounds of interviews and managed to grab the offer letter.
But to Andrew's dismay, he failed to clear the technical round of interview.
Since his family was going through a severe financial crunch, I tried to find another job for him.
I had used my contacts to find a job for him and arranged his interview in another reputed company.
But again he failed to clear the final round of interview.
Seeing his plight, I was afraid of telling him the truth.
I had told him that the result of his interview would be announced next month.
But later on, I realised that I didn't do the right thing by not telling him the exact status.
Because he was passing his days under false hope.
Hence, I decided to tell him the truth.
Finally, on his birthday I told him the exact feedback of his interview.
He was under immense shock and cried a lot.
But he took this failure as a challenge and finally managed to find a plum job with an organisation of repute.

Last week Year 2 visited the synagogue as part of their RE unit of work on special places. They looked at the inside of the synagogue and there were gasps of amazement when the ark was opened to reveal the beautifully adorned Torah scrolls. Last week was also the Jewish festival of Sukkot which is a harvest festival. The children were given the chance to go in to a real sukkah which is a booth or shelter. Jewish people spend time with their families there and eat their meals in the sukkah. The children were able to sample challah (Jewish bread) and eat fruit which symbolises harvest.


The 2015/2016 El Niño episode severely affected more than 60 million people around the world. In Asia and the Pacific, the event destroyed crops, killed livestock, dried up water-sources in some areas, caused a range of hydro-meteorological disasters such as flooding, tropical cyclone, drought and heat waves, led to malnutrition and food insecurity, increased disease outbreaks, and drove migration to other areas. Under the Regional Cooperation Mechanism and the Thematic Working Group on disaster risk reduction and resilience (DR3), the United Nations worked together to provide a coherent and coordinated support to member Countries. This report summarizes the lessons learnt from the 2015-2016 El Niño event and represents a one UN approach to put these lessons into practice to reduce the impacts of future extreme climate events, and to help enhance the resilience of people across the Asia-Pacific Region.

libbase is the event base for HTTP server libsrvr.
HTTP server is bind to port 4080 (by default).
If started under verbose mode (-v), libsrvr will output each requested file path on the console as shown above.
Though a static file server find little place in today's world, the idea was to show the ease by which you can create your own HTTP server which is light weight, fast and scalable (all thanks to Niels for his libevent). Couple libsrvr with memcached for caching static files, and benchmark will show over 10,000 req/sec handling capability of libsrvr.
Share if you like it and also let me know your thoughts through comments.
I still remember the days of struggle writing a http server. Libevent is surely a great friend for such projects.
Mate thanks heaps for this. Was very useful along with the api docs. But couldnt find a simple tutorial for starting it all.
mate, by the way do you know how to actually stop libevent? It seems like doing a loop_exit actually kills other threads as well!!
It will work very slow if the file is not completely cached in memory. It's blocking code, it will pause libevent event loop.
Hi, I faced problem when send images. I try to use function evhttp_send_reply_chunk but not work.
I am using the select for the Socket communication so i am facing the problem so please guide me the libevent for that.

Pitt Announces 2010-11 Basketball Schedule
The University of Pittsburgh announced their full 31-game 2010-11 men's basketball schedule today, and no one should have any complaints about a lack of national coverage.
The Panthers will be on national TV no less than 16 times this season, including two games on CBS and 14 on ESPN. They're booked for four appearances on ESPN's Big Monday, the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer at Madison Square Garden (ESPN2), the DIRECTV SEC/Big East Invitational vs. Tennessee at the Consol Energy Center (ESPN) and ESPN College Game Day on February 12 against Villanova.
The 31-game schedule includes 18 Big East games: one against each of the 15 other conference teams and two against South Florida, Villanova, and WVU. The non-conference schedule includes games against Tennessee, Maryland, Texas or Illinois, and Rhode Island. The Tennessee game and the annual Duquesne game will both take place at the Consol Energy Center.
The Rhode Island game on November 8 will kick off the 2010 season and home slate, with the first Big East game coming on December 27 at The Pete against UConn. The regular season concludes on March 5 at home against Villanova, and the Big East Tournament follows on March 8-12.

Robot tax: MIT economists calculate automation levy
Optimal technology regulation turns out to be quite a puzzle. But MIT economists have attempted to resolve the robot tax debate.
@JT_bluebird1
james.tyrrell@hybrid.co
Balancing act: how best to manage the economy as the robots continue their rise? Image credit: Shutterstock.
Would you back a robot tax, and if so, how much would you charge? The march of technology has a habit of delivering mixed fortunes. Advances in automation are pushing production efficiencies to new heights, reducing unit costs, and raising profits. Replacing employees with robots can free up staff from performing repetitive tasks, which can go one of two ways.
In some cases, automation opens the door to more interesting and fulfilling work – for example, employees can move up to supervisor positions or play a greater strategic role in company operations. But automation can also put staff out of a job, raising unemployment. And to manage this scenario, some thinkers are proposing legislation dubbed a robot tax.
Ongoing debate
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates was criticized by some commentators when he spoke out in favor of a robot tax in 2017. But today, the human cost of advances in automation that Gates highlighted still remains. Governments too, could have an income hole to fill. "Right now, if a human worker does $50,000 worth of work in a factory, that income is taxed," he pointed out when interviewed. "If a robot comes in to do the same thing, you'd think that we'd tax the robot."
Critics argue that taxing robots will put the brakes on automation and interferes too strongly with technological progress. But Gates countered that retraining workers – using proceeds from a robot tax – for sectors facing a shortage in labor would put the economy 'net ahead' overall. The Microsoft co-founder isn't the only one advocating for legislation to compensate for the rise of the robots.
Drones in supply chain management – the inside story
In the same year that Gates spoke out, the EU discussed the idea of a robot levy, but didn't come to any formal agreement. Politicians in the US, Japan, Canada, and the UK have also raised the topic of a robot tax, but again there were mixed views on the matter. Interestingly, South Korea has wound back some of its incentives for firms to invest in automation. While not a direct tax, it does mark a shift in thinking at a national level.
Sticking to the facts alone, the International Federation of Robotics notes that 60,000 industrial robots were installed across the US automotive industry between 2010 and 2015. Over that five-year period, the number of employees in the sector reportedly rose by 230,000. The Brookings Institution – a US think tank based in Washington, DC – also has reservations about putting a duty on automation.
"While the arguments in favor of a robot tax may be well-intentioned, robot taxes are a misguided idea that would have negative consequences for firms, their workers, and ultimately the economy," writes Robert Seamans, a Brookings Nonresident Senior Fellow. "To begin with, the assertion that robots are taking jobs is not well founded. Recent research shows that firms that adopt robots experience more employment growth than those that do not."
NLP business trends: automation and insights up for grabs
Difficulties arise in how to define a robot – for example, do you include machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) systems? AI has the potential to displace a huge number of jobs. According to AI pioneers, repetitive tasks that can be performed by humans in 60 seconds or less are ripe for AI automation. Again, this may prompt retraining and the opportunity for employees to seek more interesting work. But the transition will need to be managed.
Not all staff will be happy to give up their current jobs. The overall impact of AI on employment could be much more widespread than the growth in robotics. AI could displace white-collar jobs as well as those in manufacturing operations.
Settling the argument
To try and resolve the debate on the merits of a robot tax, MIT economists have been busy modeling scenarios based on data from a number of studies. After scrutinizing all the evidence, the researchers suggest that 'the optimal policy in this situation would indeed include a tax on robots, but only a modest one." Specifically, the authors of the work — Arnaud Costinot and Iván Werning – found that 'a tax on robots should range from 1 percent to 3.7 percent of their value' to minimize income inequality.
The researchers also note that there are other levers that could be pulled to address upcoming issues associated with automation – for example, income tax could be another mechanism for legislators to consider. "We think it's incorrect to discuss these taxes on robots and trade as if they are our only tools for redistribution," said Werning.
Also, projecting much further ahead, the impact of increased automation appears to flatten out once the economy becomes saturated with robots. "That marginal robot you are getting in the economy matters less and less for inequality," adds Costinot. The team has published its findings in The Review of Economic Studies.

Renato Dulbecco (Catanzaro, Itàlia 22 de febrer de 1914 - La Jolla, Califòrnia (Estats Units) 19 de febrer de 2012) va ser un biòleg i professor universitari nord-americà, d'origen italià, guardonat amb el Premi Nobel de Medicina o Fisiologia l'any 1975.

Biografia
Va néixer el 22 de febrer de 1914 a la ciutat de Catanzaro, capital de la província del mateix nom. Va estudiar medicina a la Universitat de Torí i el 1940 fou nomenat professor de patologia en aquesta mateixa universitat. A partir de 1947 es va dedicar a la investigació en bacteriologia i posteriorment es traslladà als Estats Units, juntament amb Rita Levi-Montalcini, país del qual en va adquirir la nacionalitat l'any 1953.

Recerca científica
Inicià la seva recerca al costat de Salvador Luria desenvolupant investigacions sobre bacteriòfags a la Universitat d'Indiana mitjançant la utilització de raigs ultraviolats. L'any 1949 inicià la seva etapa de 10 anys a l'Institut Tecnològic de Califòrnia participant en el grup dirigit per Max Delbrück realitzant investigacions sobre els oncovirus animals.

A finals de la dècada del 1950 inicià la seva col·laboració amb l'estudiant Howard Martin Temin amb el qual inicià la seva recerca sobre els virus tumorals, treballs que continuà a partir de 1962 a l'Institut Salk de San Diego, on entrà en contacte amb David Baltimore i on desenvolupà investigacions sobre l'àcid ribonucleic (ARN), observant com aquest pot ser transcrit a àcid desoxiribonucleic (ADN) mitjançant la Transcriptasa inversa, la qual és un factor important en la reproducció dels retrovirus. Va dedicar totes les seves investigacions a l'estudi dels tumors especialment a l'efecte dels virus sobre les cèl·lules, arribant a la conclusió que els virus poden ocupar un paper destacat en la gènesi del càncer.

L'any 1975 va compartir el Premi Nobel de Medicina o Fisiologia amb David Baltimore i Howard Martin Temin pels seus descobriments referents a la interacció entre els virus tumorals i el material genètic de la cèl·lula.

Des de 1986 fou un important imulsor del Projecte Genoma Humà.

I have been visiting friends in San Francisco since September 1 and will be staying here another for another week. The last time I was here was in December of 2007, an absence of almost three years. I lived here for a while and know the city quite well. What amazes me is how much things have changed.
San Francisco is still gorgeous and beguiling. The huge Mission Bay development, noticeable as you drive in from the airport, is a massive new City-in-a-City that I do not think has anything that can compare in the United States. Everything is still here --- but things seem very different. San Francisco is showing the signs of a bad economy in a big way.
For those of you who know San Francisco, I am staying at the huge Holiday Inn on Van Ness and California. I managed to get an amazing deal -- 8 nights in a deluxe room, round-trip airfare from Fort Lauderdale on Jet Blue, and cancellation and travel insurance, all for a bit over $900.00. Speaking of Jet Blue, it has to be the best domestic airline in the United States, with really comfortable seats that I as someone over six feet tall did not feel compressed in. It is now my airline of choice.
Half of the people in the hotel are visiting tourists from Germany; you can tell who they are since there is some sort of Sauna here and they are ones who are virtually naked in the elevators with one towel wrapped around them as they go back and forth from it. I forgot how incredibly cold San Francisco can be in September; in the mid 50's with the ice cold fog blowing in every afternoon at about 20 miles per hour from the Pacific. You will do anything to keep warm in this place.
The Summer Fog Rolls In -- Its Freezing!
The city itself (an old boss once pointed out that only Manhattan and San Francisco call themselves "The City") looks and feels very different. It seems to me that The Great Recession has hit San Francisco hard. Unemployment in July was at the national average, 9.7%. Things seem worst than that -- there are more homeless people on the streets, and they seem more resigned to collecting fewer handouts. Urban ultra-grunge seems more "in"; I am staying near one of the most sleazy streets in The City - Polk Street, the original gay street in San Francisco before the action started moving to the Castro in the 1970's.
Polk Steet then made a metamorphose into "hustler central" before that business was killed by the internet in the late 1990's. Now, at night, you try to avoid it, since the drug addicts seem to have taken it over. My friends tell me that The Tenderloin, which I am near, the area north of Market Street and the most run down area in San Francisco downtown, has become very dangerous with a high violent crime rate. I remember feeling safe walking around anywhere here, and I have been warned that this is simply no longer the case at night.
Polk Street now has about 10 good Asian and Middle Eastern restaurants on it, and some friends took me to one of them, Shalimar, a Pakistani place, that is so amazingly good and cheap it made the Travel and Leisure top 50 list. One thing about San Francisco is the amazing variety of the food. This week we are superb Moroccan, Vietnamese, Sushi, Hunan Chinese, and Pakistani food -- and there is much more to try. It seems to me that prices are not that high here, and one can east a great dinner for under $20.00 with tip.
I cannot tell the difference between the homeless people, drug addicts, and hipsters in my area who line up outside Kimos, one of San Francisco's first gay bars, on Polk and Pine Streets to go to the upstairs bar to hear great alternative music. My friend told me that they were one and the same these days, something I have to mull over.
We did go to the Symphony one night and heard the amazing San Francisco Symphony get ready for their annual European tour. Their conductor, Michael Tilson Thomas is probably the greatest living American conductor these days; the fact that he has lived with his male partner for many years means nothing in this city. Despite the Great Recession, the place was nearly sold out. They played Mahler, a specialty of theirs, and the concert was really amazing. They have won 8 Grammy Awards for their Mahler cycle-- one of the few you can buy in modern sound. I recommend you start with Symphony number 5, the one I heard, with the famous Adagio from Death in Venice if you want to get started appreciating this great composer.
I plan to go out this weekend to some clubs and Castro Street, the heart of Gay San Francisco to see what that is like. I am heading off downtown now, South of Market, and can't wait to see the changes made there.
I have not logged into Second Life this week but will be spending more time inworld on about September 20. I am blogging though, so I will keep you up to date on my travels.

Our family LOVES cinnamon, so it's pretty common for us to find all sorts of recipes that we can use it in year round. This recipe for Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread is one of those recipes, and let me tell you, it is AMAZING. It's like taking cinnamon rolls & smashing them together in a loaf pan. My cinnamon loving family definitely loves it & requests it quite often. Now that I have shortened the prep time I really have no good excuse to deny their request!
I used to make this recipe with a classic dough. But mixing, waiting, kneading, rising & even more waiting was becoming unbearable. I wanted to make this recipe in about an hour, not wait for several hours between each step for the dough to rise. So after several tests with some rapid rise methods & recipes in my stack, I finally settled on this one that turned out perfectly. I can create this in just over an hour & that's with just 25 minutes of rest & rise time & about 25 minutes of baking. So not too bad & definitely worth it. It's absolutely DELICIOUS!
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. In your mixer bowl, whisk sugar, yeast, salt and flour. In a separate bowl, combine water, milk & butter. Heat the bowl of wet ingredients in the microwave for about 1 minute or until it reaches 115 degrees (any hotter & you will kill your yeast). Pour into the dry mixture, and use a dough hook to knead for 3-4 minutes or until smooth & elastic (add more flour if necessary). Cover tightly with plastic & let rest about 5 minutes.
Drop rested dough on lightly floured surface and press/shape into a large rectangle. Melt butter for filling and brush onto your dough. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar, then sprinkle evenly over buttered dough. Cut dough lengthwise into 4 large strips, stack each strip on top of each other, and then cut into squares. Loosely place squares standing on end in a prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle any remaining cinnamon and sugar you may have over the top. Place in your 180 degree oven, then turn oven off and allow the dough to rise for 20 minutes (don't open oven door!). Preheat oven to 375 degrees and bake for another 25 -30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool in pan while you make your glaze. Drizzle over your cooled pull apart bread loaf, serve, and enjoy!
Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread makes the perfect Saturday morning breakfast & certainly beats something store bought. You really have to give it a try! It's phenomenal!
Drizzle over baked bread & enjoy!

Mara Leveritt wins Laman Fellowship
David Koon
On January 4, 2012 1:57 pm
North Little Rock's William F. Laman Library announced today that frequent Arkansas Times contributor Mara Leveritt is the recipient of this year's $10,000 Laman Library Writers Fellowship. Leveritt plans to use the money to work on "Justice Knot," the follow up to her 2002 book, "Devil's Knot," Leveritt's exhaustive account of the West Memphis Three case which became a sort of handbook for those interested in helping seek justice for Jason Baldwin, Damien Echols and Jessie Misskelley.
Now in its third year, the fellowship program awards a grant to previously-published Arkansas writers who are working on another book. Historian Grif Stockley won the prize in 2010, followed by Little Rock novelist Kevin Brockmeier in 2011.
The formal announcement of Leveritt's win for 2012 will be held on Tuesday, January 10 at 10 a.m. at the William F. Laman Public Library exhibit hall at 2801 Orange St. in N. Little Rock.

Today, films became indispensable for internal and external communication of facts, ideas, strategies, corporate values or visions. Moving pictures can efficiently deliver on the factual level (information on products, strategies, services or qualifications) as well as on the emotional level (people working for a company). Both levels need to be covered as customers often seek information, facts or services and also a positive business relationship.
Quality and success of a video production needs experience on several levels. Well prepared films may be used for various channels in internal or external communication.

Michigan & Arizona Primaries
The next GOP contest in the Presidential Candidate selection process is tonight. We will have live coverage from NPR streamed live on KUNC.org from 7-9pm (9-10pm ET). This special section collects all of our stories on these primaries.
Santorum, Romney Spar Over Economy Ahead Of Michigan Primary
Published February 27, 2012 at 3:12 PM MST
Joe Raedle
Rick Santorum (center) Monday at St. Mary's Cultural & Banquet Center in Livonia, Mich.
A day before Michigan's Republican presidential primary, Rick Santorum tried to outflank Mitt Romney on a fairly sensitive issue in Detroit: government bailouts.
Santorum blasted Romney for supporting the government's Wall Street bailout while loudly opposing its bailout of the auto industry.
Santorum, for his part, opposed both instances of government intervention in the private sector.
"Why are we giving away government's role in bailing out companies?" asked Santorum, campaigning outside Detroit, reports NPR's Sonari Glinton. "I know that's not a popular topic here in Detroit, but at least I'm consistent."
"Capitalism is painful," Santorum said. "We all know that. Markets are painful sometimes. When people don't keep up and people do things that the market doesn't like, a lot of people suffer. But they suffer more if we try to rig the game."
Romney began his day in the town of Rockford, just outside Grand Rapids, and NPR's Ari Shapiro reports that at this event — as in every other across the state — the Detroit-born Romney relentlessly hammered the native-son narrative, telling the crowd he enjoyed seeing "familiar places and familiar people."
At least one undecided voter in the audience, Ed Garcia, found the argument unpersuasive, telling NPR: "If he would have cared so much about Michigan, he would have run for governor of Michigan instead of Massachusetts."
But Romney's local roots, with his father having served as Michigan's governor, make a difference for other voters.
"It affects it a little bit," said Steve Batchelder. "I would certainly vote for Romney because I live in Michigan."
Romney also took his shots at Santorum, contrasting his business experience to Santorum's. Polls show the two in a very tight race in the state.
"I've spent 25 years in business. I understand why jobs go, why they come," said Romney.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul also was in the state, with events scheduled in Detroit, East Lansing and Dearborn.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was campaigning in Tennessee, which holds its GOP primary March 6.
None of the candidates scheduled time in Arizona a day before that state also holds its Republican presidential primary. Polls have shown Romney with a strong lead in the state.

Casting Himself As Outsider, Santorum Benefited From D.C. 'Revolving Door'
According to his financial statement, in 2010 Rick Santorum brought in six-figure paychecks from a number of different sources, including lobbying groups.
Monday's Political Grab Bag: Romney, Santorum Tied In Michigan
Ahead of Tuesday's primary, Romney and Santorum appeared tied in Michigan but polls indicated the former Massachusetts governor was significantly ahead in Arizona. Other polls showed the health-care law to be unpopular in some battleground states and gave mixed signals about whether or how much Obama's re-election chances had improved.
Romney Name Doesn't Guarantee Ballot Magic In Michigan

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney plays up his Michigan roots when he talks to voters in the state. But results have been mixed for other Romneys who have run for office in the state.


This is an untypical management book. Aside of the fact that it is very well written, it is full of insights that you can actually relate to and use. It makes sense, and unlike other management books that "make sense" because they preach obvious trivialities, this one brings up points that are truly insightful.
Ed Catmull managed Pixar, which is an animated movie studio. His stories and examples are thus those of a movie studio manager. However, each message he conveys lends itself easily to interpretation in any other domain that requires creativity. When reading the book, you can feel that the author has some serious mileage as a manager and that he did learn a thing or two before going to write about it.
Finally, the book presents an image of Steve Jobs which is quite different than the image that other writers drew of him. Jobs was as talented and as assertive of an individual as first advertised, but after reading "Creativity, Inc." one realizes that aside of his occasional harsh attitude towards the people he worked with, he had softer, well meaning sides; he was actually a friend.
For someone like me who have watched all animation movies produced by Pixar will try not to treat this book as regular management tool but a book to get closer to how they create those beloved films insde Pixar!
"Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Chlorophylle est une série de bande dessinée animalière créée par le Belge Raymond Macherot en 1954 dans Le Journal de Tintin. Celui-ci a animé la série jusqu'en 1963 avant de passer à Spirou où il a lancé sa nouvelle série Sibylline, qui reprend un univers animalier similaire à Chlorophylle ainsi que la poésie de ses aventures et de ses dessins mais chez un autre éditeur. À compter de 1968, différents auteurs mettront en scène l'univers de Chlorophylle dans Tintin.

Personnages
Les personnages récurrents de la série sont tous des animaux plus ou moins anthropomorphes. Les humains sont présents seulement comme éléments de décor.

Chose rare dans la bande dessinée animalière, l'attitude des personnages est le plus souvent basée sur une posture humaine mais parfois également sur une attitude animale. Par exemple, quand Chlorophylle court, il le fait parfois debout sur deux pattes, et parfois à quatre pattes. Autre originalité saillante, la scène se transporte tour à tour à l'ombre des sociétés humaines, où les animaux vivent à l'état de nature, et le royaume insulaire de Coquefredouille où vivent seulement des animaux, lesquels ont développé leur propre civilisation dans le cadre d'une société organisée : ils sont vêtus, habitent des maisons, circulent en voiture, en train etc.

Héros

Chlorophylle
L'œil cerné de noir et la queue en pinceau, le héros est un lérot courageux, intelligent et généreux. Dans les premières histoires il est doté d'un caractère impulsif et vantard, qui s'estompe dans la suite.

Minimum
Souriceau, meilleur ami de Chlorophylle, apparu pour la première fois dans Chlorophylle et les Conspirateurs, le deuxième album. Son caractère râleur en fait le faire-valoir du héros.

Bitume
Corbeau, ami de Chlorophylle. Ce personnage apparaît pour la première fois dans Chlorophylle contre les rats noirs.

Serpolet
Un lapin, ami de Chlorophylle. Ce personnage apparaît pour la première fois dans Chlorophylle contre les rats noirs.

Torpille
Loutre amie de Chlorophylle. Sa taille supérieure et sa vigueur physique la rendent fort utile à nos deux héros.

Mitron XIII

Souris blanche de son état et néanmoins roi de Coquefredouille, pays où les animaux vivent comme des humains, Mitron est un monarque magnanime, soucieux du bonheur de son peuple. Chlorophylle et Minimum deviendront ses amis intimes.

Méchants

Anthracite
C'est le roi des rats noirs. Il est animé par sa soif de pouvoir et d'argent. Mis en échec, il cherche l'arme absolue et le moyen d'en finir avec Chlorophylle. De tous les rats noirs, il est le seul discernable, grâce à une longue entaille à l'oreille gauche.

Pour beaucoup, ce rat demeure le meilleur méchant créé par Raymond Macherot. Celui-ci décide, dans un premier temps, de conserver les droits de ce personnage en quittant Le Lombard.

Célimène
Célimène apparaît dans l'album Pas de Salami pour Célimène (1957). C'est la chatte d'un notaire qui, aidée par deux soupirants, attrape des souris et en échange exige de la charcuterie.

Le duc Bihoreau de Bellerente, alias Zizanion

Comme son nom l'indique, c'est un héron (mais pas un héros). Sous le masque de l'anarchiste Zizanion, il tente d'assassiner Mitron pour prendre sa place. Il fait équipe avec Anthracite après l'échec de ses premières tentatives. Après leur fiasco dans l'aventure Zizanion le terrible, Bihoreau obtient d'Anthracite le poste de ministre de la police dans Chlorophylle joue et gagne.

Intégrales

Chlorophylle – L'Intégrale (2012-2013)

En 2012, Le Lombard lance une nouvelle intégrale Chlorophylle. Celle-ci contient uniquement les récits de Raymond Macherot re-colorisés par Laurence Croix — à l'exception de Mission Chèvrefeuille, Pas de salami pour Célimène et Le Bosquet hanté, dont les films noir et blanc ont été perdus. Le tout est accompagné d'un dossier de Jacques Pessis et d'autres histoires de Raymond Macherot étrangères à la série Chlorophylle (récits réalistes, animations, tintin color, rubrique nature...). La conception graphique est de Sophie Vets.
 Intégrale, tome 1
 Mission Chèvrefeuille (4 planches)
 Chlorophylle contre les rats noirs (32 planches)
 Chlorophylle et les conspirateurs (47 planches)
 Pas de salami pour Célimène (41 planches)
 Le Bosquet hanté (20 planches)
 Bonus : Le Véritable Monde perdu (5 planches), L'Homme qui tua le Diable (5 planches), L'Odyssée du Flandre Impériale (4 planches)
 Intégrale, tome 2
 Les Croquillards'
 Zizanion le terrible Le Retour de Chlorophylle Bonus : Le Grenadier Victoria, Le Docteur Finet a disparu, Klaxon, Les Trois Cachettes de Civet le lapin Intégrale, tome 3
 La Revanche d'Anthracite Chlorophylle joue et gagne Le Furet gastronome Chloro à la rescousse Le Klaxon de la vérité Bonus : La Petite Jungle du Vallon fleuri, En promenade avec le Père Mathieu, Pipelette Série animée
Le studio de dessin animé belge Belvision a adapté plusieurs aventures de Chlorophylle dans le but de concurrencer les studios Walt Disney. Dans les années 1950, Chlorophylle contre les rats noirs, Chlorophylle et les conspirateurs et Les Croquillards sortent en noir et blanc. Sort finalement Le Bosquet hanté, cette fois-ci en couleurs. Raymond Macherot n'a jamais été vraiment satisfait de ces adaptations. Son style graphique est en effet difficile à animer. Dans l'optique d'autres adaptations, Macherot simplifie son graphisme à partir de La Revanche d'Anthracite. Et comme le Studio Belvision ne semblait plus intéressé par les aventures du lérot, Macherot décida de redessiner ses personnages comme avant avec Le Furet gastronome.

Les personnages et péripéties de Chlorophylle ont été adaptés en 1992 dans Les Enquêtes de Chlorophylle une série de 52 épisodes de 13 minutes mettant en scène des animaux réels et des marionnettes représentant des animaux créées par Alain Duverne, également créateur de celles des Guignols de l'info.

Ces histoires sont apparues dans l'émission Les Minikeums'' sur France 3.

Plusieurs changements successifs des horaires de diffusion ont nui à la carrière de cette série coproduite avec le Québec qui réalisait la bande sonore, le tournage et la post-production étant réalisés en France avec les moyens de la S.F.P.

Il n'existe actuellement aucune édition DVD de cette série qui fut très appréciée de ceux qui purent la voir.

Newport South Docks, viewing points
Written by John Patston - 15 Dec 2009
last update by Chris Meaker - 14 Dec 2009
This page is a guide to the viewing locations. The type of photograph you will get from these locations will be more of a train in the urban landscape as opposed to a close up view. Telephoto lenses are required as the distance between you and the subject can be measured in miles as opposed to feet.
Newport is a large town in Gwent, South Wales. It is situated on the Great Western Main Line between the Severn Tunnel and Cardiff. It is also adjacent to the M4 motorway.
The Docks are located south of the town centre and station alongside where the River Usk joins the Severn Estuary.
Rail traffic on the GWML is a mix of freight and local, medium-distance and inter-city passenger traffic. The Docks branch leaves the GWML at Alexandra Dock Junction. The branch sees occasional coal traffic conveyed in HAA and HTA wagons. The branch is also used for removing newly-imported locomotives from South Dock onto the national network.
There are two recognised vantage points for the part of the Docks where locomotives are unloaded and commissioned. These are:
The Gaer, a residential estate on a hill in the town.
The sand dock or terminal, a riverside viewpoint is on a public footpath through an area of scrub land, typical of a semi-derelict industrial area on the opposite bank of the River Usk to the Docks unloading point.
If approaching Newport by the M4 leave the motorway at either Junction 25A from the east or 26 from the west. Follow signs for either the railway station (if heading for the Gaer) or the Docks if heading for the River.
The vantage point from the Gaer is the top of Rupert Brooke Drive - note the arrows position in relation to the docks.
Be aware that this location is some two miles distant from the Docks and powerful binoculars and good atmospheric visibility are essential. Look for the white silos of the cement depot in the Docks as a marker - the unloading area is just a little further away on the same line of sight. It is highly unlikely numbers will be visible from this distance - but individual locomotives should be visible once the ship has departed.
If wishing to see numbers the best opportunity is during unloading from the Riverside is from the Corporation Road vantage point - note the arrows position in relation to the docks.
Again, powerful binoculars will be required as the locomotives are visible at about 600 metres as they are lifted from the ship and before they are lowered to the quayside. Once the locomotives have been lowered they will not be visible until the ship has departed and even then they may be obscured by coal wagons, bushes or each other.
To reach this vantage point, follow the A4042 (signed Docks) from the motorway until reaching a T-junction with the A48 at traffic lights. Turn left on the A48, cross the River Usk on a bowstring bridge and bear immediately left, then right to cross the A48. This is necessary because there is no right turn at this junction on the A48. Follow Corporation Road for approximately 1 mile, passing under a railway bridge. Pass the sand terminal on your left and park before reaching the end of the road at Marshalls Brick depot. The footpath to the riverbank leaves this road on the left here.
Be aware that if using the M4 from England both bridges across the River Severn (either M4 or M48) charge a toll, currently in excess of £5 for a private car. The toll is payable westbound only. You will only need to cross one bridge!
Newport South Docks, viewing points map co-ordinates
The Gaer is a residential area with no parking restrictions. There is no need to leave your car unattended as viewing takes place from the roadway.
Parking for the riverbank is unrestricted but be aware there are LGVs passing to and from the sand terminal and Marshalls so parking sensibly so as not to block access is essential. Cars left here unattended should be safe in daylight.
Newport Transport buses 2/3/4 serve The Gaer from the town's bus station.
There is no public transport to the riverbank location.
No facilities on The Gaer, nor on the riverbank - although there are usually a couple of mobile burger bars on Corporation Road which do good food and give excellent value. These close at about 14:00.
None recommended but there is the usual selection available through local Tourist Information.

Detailed photography is not an option from The Gaer, because of distance.
From the riverside, if any recognisable locomotive images are required then a lens with a minimum focal length of 300mm is probably needed. At this location, any photographs after midday will be tending into the sun.

Viewed from Rupert Brooke Drive
The ships crane lifts a loco from the hold to the dockside.
The ship will obscure any locomotives on the dockside, unless they are shunted out of the view as per the 70 by the bow (right) of the ship here.
Once the ship is clear the locos are visible during commisioning.
A larger view showing the distance. Powerful binoculars, perhaps mounted on a tripod, are essential for identification purpose here.

Once the ship has departed locos are visible on the quayside.
When the locos depart a view can be had of them on the docks lines.

SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk, who last month revealed details of his ambitious plans to get at least a million people to Mars, said mining robots will be a key part of the planned colonization of the red planet.
Musk envisions geodesic domes on the surface that would have additional areas digged out below the surface by mining robots.
He said he envisions geodesic domes on the surface made with glass panes supported by carbon fibre frames. Such structures would have additional areas mined out below the surface by robots for "industrial" uses.
SpaceX is not the only company planning to build a human settlement in the red planet. Mars One, a Dutch non-profit agency, launched in 2014 a campaign to recruit 24 volunteers to be trained and send up there by 2025.
