Titanium (pronounced /taɪˈteɪniəm/) is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. Sometimes called the "space age metal", it has a low density and is a strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including to sea water and chlorine) transition metal with a silver colour. Titanium can be alloyed with iron, aluminium, vanadium, molybdenum, among other elements, to produce strong lightweight alloys for aerospace (jet engines, missiles, and spacecraft), military, industrial process (chemicals and petro-chemicals, desalination plants, pulp, and paper), automotive, agri-food, medical prostheses, orthopedic implants, dental and endodontic instruments and files, dental implants, sporting goods, jewelry, mobile phones, and other applications. Titanium was discovered in England by William Gregor in 1791 and named by Martin Heinrich Klaproth for the Titans of Greek mythology.
The two most useful properties of the metal form are corrosion resistance, and the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal. In its unalloyed condition, titanium is as strong as some steels, but 45% lighter. There are two allotropic forms and five naturally occurring isotopes of this element; 46Ti through 50Ti, with 48Ti being the most abundant (73.8%). Titanium's properties are chemically and physically similar to zirconium.
Titanium alloys are metallic materials which contain a mixture of titanium and other chemical elements. Such alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness (even at extreme temperatures), light weight, extraordinary corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. However, the high cost of both raw materials and processing limit their use to military applications, aircraft, spacecraft, medical devices, connecting rods on expensive sports cars and some premium sports equipment and consumer electronics. Auto manufacturers Porsche and Ferrari also use titanium alloys in engine components due to its durable properties in these high stress engine environments.
Some alloying elements raise the alpha-to-beta transition temperature (i.e. alpha stabilizers) while others lower the transition temperature (i.e. beta stabilizers). Aluminium, gallium, germanium, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen are alpha stabilizers. Molybdenum, vanadium, tantalum, niobium, manganese, iron, chromium, cobalt, nickel, copper and silicon are beta stabilizers.
Alpha alloys in which neutral alloying elements (such as tin) and/ or alpha stabilisers (such as Aluminium or oxygen only. These are not heat treatable.
Near-alpha alloys contain small amount of ductile beta-phase. Besides alpha-phase stabilisers, near-alpha alloys are alloyed with 1-2% of beta phase stabilizers such as molybdenum, silicon or Vanadium.
Alpha & Beta Alloys, which are metastable and generally include some combination of both alpha and beta stabilisers, and which can be heat treated.
Beta Alloys, which are metastable and which contain sufficient beta stabilisers (such as Molybdenum, silicon and Vanadium to allow them to maintain the beta phase when quenched, and which can also be solution treated and aged improve strength.
Generally, alpha-phase Titanium is stronger yet less ductile and beta-phase Titanium is more ductile. Alpha-beta-phase Titanium has a mechanical property which is in between both.
Aside from titanium-based alloys, the term may refer to "binary" alloys which consist of a nearly even mix, atom-by-atom, of titanium and another element. Nitinol, a shape memory alloy, is a mixture of titanium and nickel, while niobium-titanium alloys are used as wires for superconducting magnets.
Titanium is a strong, light metal. It is as strong as steel but 45% lighter. It is also twice as strong as aluminium but only 60% heavier. Titanium is not easily corroded by sea water and is used in propeller shafts, rigging and other parts of boats that are exposed to sea water. Titanium and titanium alloys are used in airplanes, missiles and rockets where strength, low weight and resistance to high temperatures are important. Since titanium does not react within the human body, it is used to create artificial hips, pins for setting bones and for other biological implants. Unfortunately, the high cost of titanium has limited its widespread use. Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the earth's crust and is primarily found in the minerals Rutile (TiO2), Ilmenite (FeTiO3) and Sphene (CaTiSiO5). Titanium makes up about 0.57% of the earth's crust. The word titanium comes from the Greek word Titans the mythological "first sons of the earth". The pure elemental metal was not made until 1910 by Matthew A. Hunter, who heated TiCl4 together with sodium in a steel bomb at 700-800°C.
The ASTM defines a number of alloy standards with a numbering scheme for easy reference.
Grade 1-4 are unalloyed and considered commercially pure or "CP". Generally the tensile and yield strength goes up with grade number for these "pure" grades. The difference in their physical properties is primarily due to the quantity of interstitial elements. They are used for corrosion resistance applications where cost and ease of fabrication and welding are important.
Grade 5 is the most commonly used alloy. It has a chemical composition of 6% Aluminium, 4% Vanadium, remainder titanium, and is commonly known as Ti6Al4V, Ti-6AL-4V or simply Ti 6-4. Grade 5 is used extensively in Aerospace, Medical, Marine, and Chemical Processing.
Grade 6 contains 5% Aluminium and 2.5% Tin. It is also know as Ti-5Al-2.5Sn. This alloy is used in airframes and jet engines due to its good weldability, stability and strength at elevated temperatures.
Grade 7H contains 0.12 to 0.25% Palladium. This grade has enhanced corrosion resistance.
Grade 23 contains 6% Aluminium, 4% Vanadium.
Grade 38 contains 4% Aluminium, 2.5% Vanadium, and 1.5% Iron. This grade was developed in the 1990s for use as an armor plating. The iron reduces the amount of Vanadium needed for corrosion resistance. Its mechanical properties are very similar to Grade 5.
If it is interesting for you to know about history of rolled titanium production in Ukraine by private enterprises, kindly read this article. You will get to know about history of rolled titanium products, titanium sheet, titanium bar, titanium tube, titanium plate, titanium wire manufacture.
At the times of Soviet Union with its military-industrial system VSMPO was the world largest enterprise producing titanium rolled materials and almost monopolized all titanium supplies.
We know many stories about manufacture of titanium submarines. For example, according to non-official information," 12 000 toms of titanium were used for manufacture of atomic submarine "Komsomolets": titanium sheets, titanium plates of Grade PT3V, titanium bars, titanium tubes, titanium wire. In Severodvinsk there is the whole city for submarine manufacture, for which VSMPO supplies rolled titanium.
Rolled titanium production allowed Soviet Union to develop new armaments. For example, during Caribbean Crisis, when US Navy was directing to Cuba Coast, suddenly Soviet Union's submarines appeared. These titanium submarines were made from titanium sheets and plates PT3V, titanium bars and titanium tubes, titanium 2V alloy wire. Due to the fact that titanium sheets and bars were used for submarine manufacture, radar sets could not find out them. At that time locator could not discover submarine if the latter was made from titanium.
Formerly in Soviet Union only VSMPO produced: titanium ingots, titanium bars, titanium sheets, titanium plates, titanium wire, titanium thick-wall tubes. Now VSMPO also produces titanium bars, titanium sheets, titanium plates, titanium wire, titanium tubes, titanium alloy bar, titanium alloy sheets and plate, titanium alloy wire, titanium alloy tubes PT1M, PT7M, and PT3V.
At the time of so called Cold War, Soviet Union industry was working for military-industrial establishment. Non-ferrous alloy production was secret, including titanium production in Verhnyaya Salda. If somebody wanted to visit this city, he had to have special permission for visiting Verhnyaya Salda. Any specialist of industrial enterprise(even military-industrial) had to have the second additional permission if he wanted to see technology of titanium rolled manufacture or mill where titanium bars or sheets were rolling.
I remember that time, when FIKO cooperated with Nikopol tube plant for titanium tube production, any information was secret. For example, we could not get to know how much material or how many titanium bars was required for titanium tube production or what bars are requested for manufacture. FIKO did not have such information and it was impossible to know production prime cost of titanium bars, titanium sheets, titanium plates, titanium tubes. Such secrecy was seen all over Soviet Union.
In case any plant needed titanium bars or titanium tubes for own application this plant should have a special order for supply. That is why most of government companies tried to have own titanium stock of titanium ingots, titanium bars, titanium sheets, titanium plates, titanium wire, titanium tubes and usually enquired for more materials that actually needed. That's why they tried to receive more titanium products in 2 times than they actually needed.
This led to considerable stockpiling of titanium materials – titanium bars, titanium tubes, titanium sheets and plates, titanium wire.
Industrial companies had been keeping titanium in their warehouses for tens of years. This led to creation of corrupt economics.
Besides government had a politics that titanium bars and titanium sheets and plates were bought for keeping in the Government Reserve. But for state with military-industrial system it was not enough. For that Mobilization reserve was created, where titanium tubes, titanium bars, titanium sheets were keeping in case of war.
All standards such as GOST, TU and OST for titanium bars, titanium tubes, titanium sheets, titanium rolled products were secret and for official use only. Even recently we met with a problem that we needed GOST for titanium sheets VT23, but Paton Institute's official said that such information was secret. We tried to study this problem in internet and we understood that was very difficult to have GOST for titanium sheets and bars used in military industry.
FIKO has such standards and can always provide necessary documentation for titanium sheets and titanium bars.
Corrupt economics sold titanium sponge, titanium ingots, rolled titanium products (titanium bars, titanium sheets, titanium plates, titanium wire, titanium tubes) from government reserve at prices much lower than prime cost of production. That's why VSMPO could not stand such competition and sell titanium at price lower than prime cost of production because titanium sheets and titanium bars forwarded to reserve had nominal price but due to inflation that price was lower than actual titanium scrap price.
Everybody who had access to government reserve bought titanium sheets and titanium bars for nothing and resold products to private enterprises.
As soon as market relations approached, the non-state capital broke the sole right of VSMPO for titanium materials supplies. The newspapers were full of different ads and trade leads offering sale of titanium bars, titanium sheets, titanium tubes and wire. On one side it caused the break-up of governmental planned supplies; on the other side VSMPO couldn't take orders from small companies and therefore had to reduce production of titanium ingots, which inevitably led to the reduction of titanium bars, titanium tubes, titanium sheets and plates, titanium wire manufacture.
That is the main reason for appearance of alternative source of titanium ingots and rolled materials in Ukraine.
Because of output reduction of titanium ingot and titanium products in VSMPO, new manufacture of titanium ingots and products started to appear in Ukraine.
FIKO creates own design bureau to construct the equipment for production of titanium ingots which was led by Mr. Tour. In Ukraine and Soviet Union FIKO was the only private enterprise that not only has developed technique documentation of equipment for titanium ingots manufacture but transmitted this documentation to other industrial plants which produces parts for manufacturing equipment of titanium ingots.
FIKO has been melting titanium ingots since 1994. The ingots were mostly melted from Grade 2 and VT1-0 materials. However, VT1-0 was more preferable as the scrap price was lower than of sponge. The technology of preparation of titanium scrap for melting was under special attention, since titanium scrap quality influences greatly the quality of the melted ingot.
Formerly, FIKO used to buy worked out equipment for scrap to produce titanium ingots. Later on, as the manufacture grew stronger in Ukraine, the private companies began to supply titanium scrap.
FIKO then produced titanium ingots dia 400mm weighting 700kg to 1100kg. Because of Al content 0.7% in the chemical composition of VT1-0 ingots, this material was not required among customers of Western Europe and USA. But due to lower price for ingots melted from scrap, VT1-0 ingots could be supplied to Asian market and partly in Europe. But then it was a real threat of suspension of production.
In 1996 – 1997 FIKO melted alloyed titanium ingots. Further, after melting equipment modernization we started to melt ingots dia 630mm with the weight around 3200kg.
Nowadays FIKO also buys titanium scrap in form of titanium cuttings for manufacture. Industrial enterprises use titanium sheets, titanium plates, titanium bars, titanium tubes for manufacture, and cutoff pieces are used as scrap for ingot melting by us.
When price for FeTi was increasing, worked out equipment was not applied just as scrap but also for making of sheets and plates intended for China.
At the same time, FIKO tried to establish manufacture of titanium rolled materials in Ukraine: titanium bars and titanium ingots on JSC Sumy Frunze NPO maching-building plant and Zaporozhye Steel Mill "Dneprospetsstal", titanium tubes on Nikopol tube plant, titanium sheets and plates on Alchevsk metallurgical plant.
From our titanium ingots JSC Sumy Frunze NPO manufactured titanium forged bars and titanium hot-rolled bars with dia over 80mm.
JSC Sumy Frunze NPO except producing titanium bars from FIKO's titanium ingots, also purchased our titanium rolled materials such as titanium bars and titanium tubes for own manufactured titanium heat exchangers, other titanium equipment for chemical and petrochemical industry.
One of our cooperation sectors with JSC Sumy Frunze NPO was joint participation in tenders for supply of titanium bars and tubes.
Among first such contracts was supply of titanium tubes to Soda plant in Bulgaria. FIKO ltd supplied to JSC Sumy Frunze NPO titanium ingots, from which titanium forged bars were made and further worked into titanium tube billet. After that, the tubes were produced from tube billets at Nikopol tube plant.
There were 3 participants in this project: FIKO, JSC Sumy Frunze NPO and Nikopol tube plant.
- Joint manufacture and supply of titanium equipment. For this purpose FIKO supplied titanium ingots, titanium bars, titanium sheets to JSC Sumy Frunze NPO.
- Barter transaction: FIKO gave titanium products for titanium equipment of JSC Sumy Frunze NPO.
In 1993-1998 FIKO supplied titanium centrifuges for sugar plants. That provides an opportunity to arrange supply of gas and petrochemical products for production of sugar based on the exchange for titanium ingots, titanium bars, titanium sheets and plates, titanium tubes. JSC Sumy Frunze NPO supplies gas to FIKO sugar plant trought Government reserve, and FIKO supplied rolled titanium products in exchange for gas.
With Nikopol tube plant, we worked by the same scheme – supplied titanium ingots for production of: titanium forged bars from titanium ingots, titanium rolled bars from titanium ingots, titanium tubes for re-rolling from titanium ingots, titanium tubes with wall thickness from 0.5mm, titanium tubes from titanium ingots on give-and-take basis.
Titanium sheets and titanium plates were produced in collaboration with Alchevsk metallurgical plant from titanium ingots of FIKO Ltd. Alchevsk metallurgical plant had specialization in production of rolled titanium products for shipbuilding. It produced titanium sheets PT3V, titanium plates PT3V, titanium sheets and plates from other titanium alloys.
Thus, there was an alternative source of titanium bars and titanium tubes except VSMPO materials.
At that time the financial system of Soviet Union collapsed and numerous industrial companies had to sell their stock of titanium materials at extremely low prices, lower than the prices of VSMPO.
I know cases when VSMPO did not supply large quantity of rolled products to Norilsk Nickel. And other Russian private companies had to perform orders of Norilsk Nickel and these companies purchased titanium bars and titanium sheets in FIKO and titanium plates, titanium tubes and titanium wire in Government reserve.
And FIKO had an opportunity to supply titanium sheets, bars, wire and tubes through Moscow companies to Norilsk Nickel, one of VSMPO former customer.
VSMPO started to loose its market in Russia and CIS for titanium products supply, including titanium bars, titanium tubes, titanium sheets and plates. But any case VSMPO is VSMPO. VSMPO is a large industrial city. VSMPO is a large world manufacturer. VSMPO is a titanium supplier for military industry of Russia. VSMPO is a titanium products supplier for Boeing. Any manufacturer of titanium products is interested in cooperation with VSMPO.
"Setab" company bought 49% of stock share capital of Nikopol tube plant workshop#5. Then "Setab" resold shares to VSMPO. FIKO ltd was also interested in purchasing of Nikopol tube plant workshop#5. Unfortunately Nikopol tube plant workshop#5 became the property of VSMPO.
In addition, the companies did not purchased large quantities of titanium any more, so it was a good chance to stock the materials and sell them in retail by small lots.
The variety of materials on our stock allows us to supply our titanium not only in Ukraine and CIS but also worldwide.
At that time a lot of private companies bought titanium bars, titanium sheet, titanium plates for nothing and then cut these products into scrap. Huge volume of titanium products VT 1-0, PT3V and of other alloys was damaged.
When FIKO became involved in titanium ingot production, all available money was spent for purchasing of VSMPO's rolled titanium products. Firstly titanium sheets and titanium bars VT 1-0 and VT 6 were bought. Because FIKO is less specialized in titanium alloys, FIKO started buying titanium alloy sheets and titanium alloy bars. If suppliers did not have certificates of VSMPO, FIKO made analysis for those products.
Now FIKO has rolled titanium produced by VSMPO in stock: titanium bars, titanium sheets, titanium plates.
We supply titanium rolled materials produced both VSMPO and from our ingots: titanium bars, titanium alloy bars of different grades, titanium sheets, titanium alloy sheets of different grades, titanium plates, titanium alloy plates of different grades, titanium tubes, titanium alloy tubes of different grades, titanium wire, titanium alloy wire of different grades.
Since 2006 titanium plant FIKO has new investors. New melting equipment is being constructed which will melt titanium ingots dia 800 mm x 4000 mm long and titanium slabs 500x1350x4000 mm. Large dimensions of titanium ingots and slabs will allow to increase productive capacity of the plant in 6 times. There are not many manufacturers of slabs in the world. Titanium slabs are used for titanium sheet production. Taking into account that titanium sheets are produced by forging of titanium ingots into titanium bars or titanium slabs, now titanium slabs are being rolled into titanium sheets without additional transactions. Slabs with large dimensions will be used for manufacture of large forged titanium bars and titanium rings.
In the second half year of 2009 FIKO will offer titanium ingots and titanium slabs of large dimensions. We are going to keep on manufacture of rolled titanium on give-and-take basis: production of titanium sheets and titanium plates from titanium slabs with the largest world manufacturers of titanium products, including titanium sheets and titanium bars.
FIKO can produce titanium forged bars dia 700 mm and less, titanium turned bars dia 700 mm and less from titanium ingots dia 800 mm in Ukraine. FIKO can use titanium forged bars to produce titanium rings of large dimensions.
FIKO asks you to provide necessary available information for this article about titanium production history in USSR. We'll appreciate if you give us information about release and supplies of titanium rolled products in USSR including production: titanium sheets, titanium plates, titanium bars, and titanium wire.
FIKO is interested in any information concerning rolled titanium production, titanium equipment manufacture, technologies of titanium production.
In 2008 the next collapse of world economics and titanium industry happened.
FIKO ltd offers for rent a part of premises: rent of industrial premises, office rent, rent of storage facilities, and rent of production spaces. We provide leaser with electricity, heating, water, sewerage, cranes, industrial equipment.
- world output of rolled titanium products: titanium sheets, titanium bars, titanium tubes, titanium wire, titanium plates.
- FIKO ltd (Electron Beam Plant FIKO) – rolled titanium products: titanium bar, titanium sheet, titanium plate, titanium tube, titanium wire and titanium ingot.

Hand gestures, wandering around, replacing the crucifix: we priests need to respect the rubrics
Fr Matthew Pittam
A new translation of the Roman Missal on the altar (PA)
In the parish where I was curate, the parish priest regularly employed an Italian who would say, "Montrami dove è scritto". (It translates as "Show me where it is written".) He would say this whenever altar servers or curates tried to add things into the Mass which shouldn't be there. This included eccentric or obsolete liturgical actions. He was a stickler for the rubrics and we had to faithfully adhere to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) in all circumstances. In many ways he was a minimalist, but Mass was dignified and parishioners were spared the innovations and quirks of pushy curates and servers. So whenever we did anything unusual or attempted to innovate he would demand to see where it was written down and authorised by the Church.
He would be pleased that after recent attempts to encourage ad orientem celebration of the Mass, the General Instruction was cited in response: "The altar should be built apart from the wall, in such a way that it is possible to walk around it easily and that Mass can be celebrated at it facing the people, which is desirable wherever possible. The altar should, moreover, be so placed as to be truly the centre toward which the attention of the whole congregation of the faithful naturally turns. The altar is usually fixed and is dedicated." (GIRM 299)
Applauded by many liberals, several bishops have used this section of the GIRM to confirm their position and discourage eastward-facing celebration. In the same spirit I also hope (perhaps in vain) that the bishops may now act in similar situations where ignoring the GIRM seems to be widespread and leads to the laity being subjected to the whims or wishes of their priests. There are certainly several areas where I would gladly see more attention being paid by those in authority. As Cardinal Nichols rightly said in his recent letter to clergy, Mass is not the time to "exercise personal preference or taste".
Hand Gestures
The GIRM makes clear prescriptions about hand gestures during the Mass. At various times the priest is required to extend his hands, expressing the action of prayer. At other times the priest's hands should remain firmly closed. My former parish priest would be saying "Montrami dove è scritto" every time a priest who proclaims the Gospel opens his hands when he proclaims "The Lord be with you". This is clearly not permitted (GIRM 134) and yet I regularly encounter this happening at Masses in many different settings. Whilst there is a greeting before the Gospel is proclaimed it has not traditionally been a presidential act in the Latin rite, therefore the greeting is said with hands closed.
The General Instruction also clearly gives hand position for the Opening Prayer, the Eucharistic Prayer, the Rite of Peace and the Concluding Rites. Despite this, many clergy seem to either ignore this or employ their own preferences.
Jolly Wandering at the Peace
The GIRM does give scope, for good reasons, for the priest to share the peace with a few of the faithful but in normal circumstances the priest should "always remain within the sanctuary" (GIRM 154). Often I have experienced the Mass descending into chaos as the celebrant wonders around the nave greeting everyone. I would dearly love this to cease and only take place in exceptional pastoral circumstances.
The Replacing of a Crucifix with an image of the Risen Christ
In a parish near where I live, there is no crucifix near the altar. Instead there is an image of the Risen Christ. When the last priest tried to replace it he met much opposition yet the General Instruction clearly states,
There is also to be a cross, with the figure of Christ crucified upon it, either on the altar or near it, where it is clearly visible to the assembled congregation. It is appropriate that such a cross, which calls to mind for the faithful the saving Passion of the Lord, remain near the altar even outside of liturgical celebrations.
(GIRM 308)
This local church is not in isolation and I look forward to the General Instruction being applied in such places.
Announcements during the concluding rite
It is certainly permissible to make announcements before the Blessing and Dismissal but the GIRM gives clarity by stating that these should be brief and only if necessary (GIRM 90). We have all been subjected to priests or deacons reading the whole notice sheet, asking for items for the tombola, announcing the winner of the 200 Club and giving all sorts of unnecessary information. It is often a complete distraction and disrupts the whole flow and dynamic of the liturgy.
Appeals for charities in place of the Homily
A priest or deacon has a huge responsibility to break open God's word for the people through the homily. I still cannot believe that so often the homily is displaced by a lay person giving an appeal for a particular charity. The GIRM is clear in affirming that
The homily is part of the Liturgy and is strongly recommended, for it is necessary for the nurturing of the Christian life. It should be an exposition of some aspect of the readings from Sacred Scripture or of another text from the Ordinary or from the Proper of the Mass of the day and should take into account both the mystery being celebrated and the particular needs of the listeners. The homily should ordinarily be given by the priest celebrant himself. He may entrust it to a concelebrating priest or occasionally, according to circumstances, to the deacon, but never to a lay person.
(GIRM 65 and 66)
Allowing someone to make an appeal instead of a homily may give the parish priest (and the laity) a day off, but it is not helping to nurture the Christian life in the way a homily should. The place for such things is always at the end.
All this may lead some to conclude that I am being precious and pernickety (or even dismissing me as a typical convert) but something much more important is at stake. The unity of the people of God and the priesthood is beautifully expressed in the common gestures and postures observed by the laity and priests during Mass. I am not saying that we should be slaves to the liturgy and the GIRM does give scope for interpretation of certain aspects in accordance with pastoral need and circumstances. What should not be allowed is for a priest's personality to dominate so that they take ownership of the liturgy which was never theirs in the first place.
Many laity are jaded by the ad-libbing and ramblings of priests who should know when to just "do the red and say the black". Often the desire for ad orientem celebration is a reaction to sloppy and messy celebration of the Mass. Those who are most opposed to eastward-facing celebration are those who, through their casual approach to the rubrics, have unwittingly encouraged its reintroduction.
I heard of a young priest who brought his parish priest a copy of the General instruction of the Roman Missal for Christmas. Inside he wrote "I brought this as I assume it is one that you have never read". Mass is the source and summit and no priest should celebrate Mass lightly or treat it as if it was his.

Cheap Car Insurance - Save $415 by Using netQuote.
Cheap Car Insurance. Save $415 by Using netQuote.
The first rule when buying car insurance, so say experts, is to shop around to make sure that you get the best deal. And the best way to do this would be to buy your car insurance online. Most of our insurance experts agree that a majority of consumers in the US overpay on their car insurance policies owing to a lack of adequate information and insufficient knowledge about the workings of the insurance industry. Whereas, when you go online to find cheap auto insurance quotes, you eliminate the problem because all the information you need is at hand without you having to ask anybody. Most importantly, you can obtain multiple auto insurance quotes absolutely free of cost and compare them at your leisure without being pressured to accept any one insurance policy.
Similarly, when Mendes' teenage daughter moved away from their Atlanta home to attend school at UCLA (a distance of nearly 3,000 miles), she was eligible for a discount on her insurance policy. As you probably know, any teenage driver who moves more than 100 miles away without a car is eligible for an insurance discount.
Additionally, young married couples can reap the benefits of combined auto insurance policies depending on what their insurance company is offering. Once again, to find inexpensive auto insurance deals, the best place to look is the Internet. Also, some US states stipulate that those who take defensive driving are eligible for discounts.
In some cases, increasing your comprehensive and collision deductibles can save you quite a lot of money on your insurance. However, before you do so, you need to make sure that you are saving a decent amount and don't have to pay a significantly higher rate when you file an insurance claim. Simply put, if you raise your deductible from $500 to $1000 and it lowers your insurance $50 per six months, you save only $100 per annum, which is hardly worthwhile. However, if you save $250-300 every year, raising your deductible would be worth it.
Another way to find inexpensive auto insurance is to see if you can combine your car and home insurance policies. This will make you eligible for a multi policy discount with your existing insurance company, which could be a substantial amount.
Remember, the auto insurance industry is extremely competitive and will go all out to woo customers, especially new ones. So change your insurance company if you must, but don't settle for unfair deals. Affordable insurance is within your reach when you can find cheap car insurance quotes!

Moscow has a reputation for having some of the world's most expensive hotel accommodation, although things have changed for the better over the last few years. While the city caters mostly to well-heeled business travelers with expense accounts to match, Moscow has been gradually adding new lodgings with more variety to choose from. Now the city boasts a better range of low- and medium-cost options, including friendly hostels, rejuvenated historical gems and oddities not commonly encountered elsewhere.
This central quarter is just east of the Kremlin and packed with museums, fragments of medieval wall and ancient churches. There are also plenty of interesting shops, restaurants and sights such as the Old English Court and the Palace of the Romanov Boyars. Kitai-Gorod is a great district to stroll through – down the main street of Ulitsa Varvarka – and is also superbly located for the historic center.
This neighborhood offers a diverse range of accommodation, from five star palatial hotels to the more affordable hostels in side streets. Boutique and independent Russian hotels are particularly popular here, providing you with a more unique stay in Moscow.
One of Moscow's most iconic and central streets, Tverskaya runs north from Red Square and so is within walking distance to most of the city's top attractions. Similar to London's Oxford Street and New York's Fifth Avenue, Tverskaya delights with an endless parade of designer shops, boutiques, and world famous fashion labels.
As you might expect, hotels in this area of Moscow are four and five star luxury establishments with elegant stone fronts. World famous and popular hotel brands such as Marriott and InterContinental can be found here.
An area several miles east of the city center, Partizanskaya is incredibly handy for souvenir shoppers, boasting the closest Metro station to the enormous Izmailovo Market. The beautiful and expansive Izmaylovsky Park also stretches into forest and tranquil lakes south of the station, and the Metro itself whisks you to Red Square in 20 minutes.
The most notable accommodation in this area of the city is to be found right next to the Metro station, in a huge hotel complex. Here rooms are much cheaper than the city center equivalent, with a choice of several different towering Soviet blocks.
Based around 'Old Arbat', one of Moscow's most ancient streets, this western district provides travelers with the perfect combination of accommodation, shopping and history. Stroll the pedestrianised streets for souvenirs, check out the street artists' latest work and stop off at one of the many local Russian restaurants for a bite to eat. Central Moscow is only several minutes away from Arbatskaya Station.
Being another area outside the very center of Moscow, Arbat District offers a wealth of different hotels at family-friendly prices. Choose from towering four and five star skyscraper hotels, rough and ready basic accommodation and a scattering of apartment buildings that are an ideal base for a longer stay.

The greatest lessons I've learned as an entrepreneur are patience and persistence. Things just don't happen overnight, no matter how much you want them to.
El Sol Foods started in the family kitchen of Daniel and Beatriz De la Cruz. Beatriz would cook and sell food to friends and family until they opened El Sol Mexican Café & Bakery in 1987.
Because of customers' overwhelmingly positive reaction to El Sol Salsa, the De la Cruz family decided to take the product to retail stores. In 2005, El Sol Foods LLC was created to manufacture and distribute El Sol products.
One of the biggest lessons I have learned is the value of communication coupled with listening when it comes to developing quality relationships with our clients and among our team members.
Breaking into the retail market took some time, especially with the larger stores. It's imperative to make sure you have all the information before you make any decision. Don't jump the gun, because you'll end up spending more than you have to.
When we decided to move forward, it was important that we were jumping through the right hoops and were in compliance with everything.
Today our products are sold in Arizona, Southern California, Las Vegas and Nevada. You can also find us flying high as a food partner with United Airlines.

Born in Madrid, Garnacho joined Atlético Madrid's youth system in 2015 from Getafe. In October 2020, he joined the Manchester United Academy. United paid Atlético a £420,000 fee. He signed his first professional contract with the club in July 2021.

He came under the spotlight for his solo goal in the FA Youth Cup win over Everton, which was nominated for United's Goal of the Month award for February 2022. After being named as an unused substitute for several Premier League matches, Garnacho made his first-team debut for United on 28 April, replacing Anthony Elanga in the 91st minute of a 1–1 draw against Chelsea. Garnacho won the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year award in May. He scored twice in the final of the FA Youth Cup against Nottingham Forest on 11 May, helping United win the competition for the first time since 2011.

Garnacho made his first senior start for United on 27 October, in a 3–0 win over Moldovan team Sheriff Tiraspol in the UEFA Europa League, whereafter he was praised by manager Erik ten Hag for his improvement over the past few weeks, saying that though previously dissatisfied, he was happy with Garnacho's improved attitude and resilience. On 3 November, he scored his first senior goal in a Europa League match against Real Sociedad. Garnacho scored his first goal in the Premier League on 13 November, an injury-time winner against Fulham. On 14 January 2023 in the Manchester derby, Garnacho set up Marcus Rashford's 82nd minute winner in a 2–1 win against Manchester City. On 14 March 2023, Garnacho announced he would be sidelined for several weeks after suffering an ankle ligament injury during a game against Southampton.

International career
Garnacho is eligible to play for his country of birth, Spain, and Argentina, as his mother is Argentine. He made three appearances for the Spain under-18 team in 2021.

On 7 March 2022, Garnacho was called up to the senior Argentina team as part of an initial 44-man squad for their two World Cup qualifiers that month. He made it to the final 33-man squad for the fixtures, but did not make an appearance in either game.

Great warrior
Kani9424

Great revolutionary thinker and reformer Mahatma Jyotiba Phule was born in Pune in 1827. It was he who started the progressive tradition of reform in Maharashtra. A true social worker can become a social worker, a person who finds a way to overcome them in the future after seeing the shortcomings, faults and errors found in the society around him at present and walks on that path very lonely but fearlessly. This is confirmed by the biography of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule. Jyotiba's heart was shocked to see the Gurukanya, who had been disfigured by Vapana due to her coming of age in the ninth year. He felt that something must be done for his sister. After hearing from his Chin Guru that 'the commandment of religion is the only reason' to do such an act, he made a firm decision at a young age that he must search for the truth about his religion.
In Pune, Pune Collector Robertson opened a school in Budharwadwara. Jotiba started going to that school. At that time, his father Govindrao Phule did not agree with Jyotiba's education. Jyotiba studied English as well as Sanskrit. His thoughts were initially of rebellion. He also wanted to learn weaponry to fight the British like others, but at the same time was disturbed by the caste discrimination, ignorance and plight of women in his society, he studied other religions comparatively. Among them, he was particularly attracted to the treatment of humanity, service, equality in Christianity. It was here that Jyotiba found his way of working and putting it into action He started. In 1848, he established the first girls' school in the castle of Chiplunkar in Bol of Jogeshwari to remove the ignorance of the society, especially among women. He created his wife Savitribai as a female teacher to teach the girls. The husband and wife had to bear the wrath of the society for their insistence on women's education. Jyotiba's father Jyotiba and Savitribai were thrown out of the house. Later, Jyotiba opened a school for girls in the Dalit settlement in Mithganj area in 1851. To reform the backward, one must go among them, so they changed their home. He opened the cistern in his house for the Dalits to get water. After seeing the oppression of upper caste women in the society, he started 'Childicide Prevention Home' in 1863 for these unfortunate women and provided shelter to such women. Jyotiyan was a reformer. It was a fearless attitude that Jyotiba gave shelter to one such stranded woman and adopted her son. Therefore, he faced the crisis with great courage. Dressed as a farmer, he went to meet the 'Duke of Connaught'. He had understood the problems of the farmers, the problems of the farmers and his firm views on the same have been expressed in his book ``Farmer's Asud'' (1883). He continued to fight against undesirable customs and traditions throughout his life, for which he founded Satyashodak Samaj in 1873. Made thousands of followers. Always insisted on Vidya, Satya and Satsheel. That is why the people spontaneously glorified him as 'Mahatma'. Jotiba Phule gave an active message of the principles of truth and equality to the society and on November 27, 1889, she bid farewell to her beloved people. Jyotib is gone, but his great deeds have made him immortal.
• About sports
Sports are mainly about entertainment. It's a lot of fun. You can enjoy to your heart's content. Most importantly, adults are not there to help us, we are our own kings. So you get to play freely. It gives pleasure. But what's wrong with that?However, I do not agree that sports are only entertainment. In the field, we run and jump. Doesn't this lead to agility? So what about automatic exercise? How hungry you feel when you go home after playing! This benefit should also be noted. As I began to think more calmly about the game, I began to see its many benefits. If you want to succeed in any work, you have to try. Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil should be called 'Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil, who is the fourth of the true educational philosophy of' Swabalamban, Swabhiman, Swadhyaya and Freedom '. Karmaveer is also a superior social reformer who spreads education to ordinary students in a very simple language like 'earn and learn. Born on September 7 in Kumbhoj village in Kolhapur district, the child was stubborn since childhood. The father was in a government job, so the feet of the brothers were scared with their father. But the brothers' maternal uncle, his friend, Satyapa, is a brave adventure and a child of kind to the poor. He distributed the money from the rich to the poor. The influence of the goodness of his cleverness was affecting the brothers. The baby was getting a rebellion against injustice at a young age ....
We strive to win on the field. Everyone strives to win. How good is the motivation to win, to go further, to make more progress? It is this motivation that makes man progress, doesn't it? Isn't this motivation rooted in sports? We strive to win; Trying hard. But there is only one winner in the end. We win or lose. Anything can happen. We understand all this. It's true that you feel bad when you lose. But we also heartily congratulate the winners, don't we? Are we ready to play again with a smile afterwards? Even in life we learn to accept defeat with a smile on the field of play. There is another benefit to the game. When we play for a team, we try our hardest to make the team win. At that time, there is no fear that we will fall, get hit, get injured. We want our team to win. Everyone is fighting for the team. There is no personal interest in anyone's mind at that time. At this time everyone puts aside their own desires and emotions. Only thinks about the team. What an important ritual! Moreover, there is another important advantage. Not everyone is smart in class and studies. In the mind of such people, the inferiority complex arises that their life is futile. They lose confidence. Many of them perform exceptionally well on the field. Where did Sachin Tendulkar excel in college studies? That is, we get scope to prove our merits in the field, what a great advantage this is!

Gold Standard 100% Casein Protein by Optimum Nutrition has a unique "timed-released" qualities, caseins are aptly described as being anti-catabolic, or muscle-protecting, proteins.
The most abundant protein in milk. It is relatively insoluble and tends to form structures called micelles that increase solubility in water. During the processing of milk, which usually involves heat or acid, the casein peptides and micelle structure become disturbed or denatured to form simpler structures. As a result, a gelatinous material is formed. This is the basis for why casein has a slower rate of digestion, and results in a slow but steady release of amino acids into circulation. The net protein balance remained more positive after intake of casein over a 7-hour period. The superior long-lasting effect of casein was attributed to a delayed gastric emptying and slower absorption rate from the gastrointestinal tract to the blood.
By: Juliet Cotterill Date: 06/22/2011	This slow releasing protein is by far the best night time protein on the market. As many others I'm sure, when dieting I get very hungry during the night and getting up and stuffing my face just isnt an option. Gold standard casein protein keeps me full throughout the night and Im so grateful of the amazing taste, chocolate ofcoarse.
By: Douglas Freitag Date: 03/30/2011	This stuff is the best! Mix a scoop of this with a glass of 1% milk and a little bit of Ovaltine and I can drink it all day.
By: Mason Smith Date: 01/17/2011	This is such a great addition to your diet. I used to do straight up cottage cheese every night, but after a while I couldn't stand the taste anymore. After I stopped eating cottage cheese I started to plateau also and realized how great casein protein is. I started taking the Optimum casein because of my success with their whey and have had great results. I've been having a scoop nightly for about 2 months now.
By: Thomas Trutt Date: 10/27/2009	It can be a little grainy when mixed with water but still the best tasting i have had.. I love OP!!!

Dems Introduce Anti-Silencer Law While GOP Introduce Pro-Silencer Protection
Opinion: C-VINE Contributor
Give 'em an inch and they take a mile.
American citizens are sick and tired of gun-grabbing politicians who violate our Constitutional rights. We knew the executive order Biden signed against assault weapons would open the door banning more and more types of guns. Banning any type of gun is a violation of our Constitutional rights and is against the law! Why is the President and our politicians breaking the law? Are they above it?
Does Washington really think law abiding citizens who know their 2nd amendment rights don't recognize the game being played? How is it that mass shootings in our country ramp up right before a political gun-grab by Congress? We saw it in Obama's term and we expected to see it in Biden's term. Indeed, we are!
Once one gun is banned, it empowers the corrupt politicians and they tend to go for more. When will it stop?
If the Left thinks our armed law-abiding citizens will lay their guns at the feet of corrupt politicians who push for an illegal law, then they will be quite disappointed.
Where are our U.S. military, officers, and other citizens who vowed to protect our U.S. Constitution? Perhaps it is time to take a stand!
Democrats Introduce Ban on Sale,
Possession of Gun Silencers

BY JACK PHILLIPS
April 16, 2021, Updated: April 16, 2021
Democratic lawmakers introduced legislation to ban the sale and possession of firearm suppressors, known as silencers.
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.) said that the 2021 Help Empower Americans to Respond (HEAR) Act, would ban the sale, importation, manufacturing, and possession of silencers. The bill was first introduced in 2019 after a mass shooting in Virginia Beach that left 12 dead.
The measure will also create a silencer buyback program, give Americans a 90-day period after the bill becomes law, and it would provide exceptions for law enforcement and other personnel.
"Gun silencers are dangerous devices with one purpose and one purpose only—to muffle the sound of gunfire from unsuspecting victims," Menendez said in a Thursday statement. "The sound of gunshots is what signals you to run, hide, take cover, call the police and help others save themselves; however, this is nearly impossible when a gun silencer is used."
Describing the bill as "commonsense legislation," the New Jersey Democrat said it will "prevent armed assailants from using these deadly devices to make it easier to shoot and kill another person."
Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), and Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) are co-sponsors of the legislation.
Gun rights group Gun Owners of America said the measure shows the lawmakers have "ignorance about firearms technology" and the Constitution's Second Amendment.
"For just a few cents, one can acquire a thread adapter from a local hardware store and a used oil filter from a car. And with that, any firearm can be equipped with a homemade 'suppressor,'" Gun Owners of America spokesman Aiden Johnston said, according to Fox News. "However, the overwhelming majority of crimes are committed without suppressors—not because government regulations make them difficult to acquire, but because they are impractical to conceal on firearms." The Epoch Times has contacted Gun Owners of America for comment.
Hunters and other responsible gun-owners use suppressors for "home defense, hunting, and sport shooting."
This week, several Republican lawmakers introduced a bill that would do the opposite as Menendez's bill. Known as the Silencers Helping Us Save Hearing Act of 2021, or SHUSH Act, the bill would "eliminate the unnecessary regulation of suppressors," according to a news release.
"Silencers are a non-lethal firearm accessory used by hunters, sportsmen, and marksmen to make shooting safer by reducing—though not completely silencing—noise, recoil, and muzzle blast," said Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), a sponsor of the bill, in a statement. And Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who co-sponsored the bill, described it as a "common-sense legislation to protect the Second Amendment rights of law abiding gun owners."

Private Equity's Next Opportunity: Seeing Japan through the Eyes of Richard Folsom
Richard Folsom, Representative Partner, Advantage Partners, LLP
Presider:
Daniel Bases, Correspondent, Thomson Reuters
On May 14, 2014, Richard Folsom of Advantage Partners shared with Japan Society his thoughts on what's ahead for the private equity business in Japan.
Mr. Folsom first came to Japan as a very young man, just out of high school and serving for two years as a Mormon missionary. Back in the U.S. for college, he chose a double major in economics and Japanese. He graduated in 1984 and got a job with Bain & Company's new Tokyo office. Except for a short time in the U.S. studying at Wharton, he's been in Japan ever since.
In 1992 he and Taisuke Sasanuma, a colleague from Bain, started their own firm in Tokyo, Advantage Partners. They had in mind a private equity model pioneered by Bain Capital, the Bain & Company spinoff founded by Mitt Romney. Japanese law, however, "pretty much made it impossible to do private equity as we wanted to." Financial shareholders could not own a majority of an operating company, and couldn't be involved in management.
It was a year or two after the bursting of the economic bubble. Structural reforms, deregulation and other remedies were being heavily debated. Finally, in 1997, legislation was passed to permit majority ownership and active participation with management. "We went out to raise what became the first buyout fund in Japan," partnering with Marubeni Corporation.
Abenomics has already produced successes in multiple areas, Mr. Folsom noted: significant growth in the BOJ balance sheet; an exchange rate at 102 yen to the dollar, up from 80; equity markets up by some 40 percent; and inflation at 1 percent, half way to the 2 percent target for next year.
Corporate and consumer confidence "is markedly changed from what it had been over the last two decades." Government spending is up. Companies have been persuaded to raise wages and salaries by more than 2 percent this year, the largest increase in 16 years.
Tokyo's selection as host of the 2020 Olympics has brought Japan "a lot of positive confidence and psychology." After so many years of short-term governments, there's a feeling that Abe could be the prime minister who ushers in the Games, a symbol of "stability and continuity."
The structural reform aspect of Abenomics, the "third arrow," isn't a single-shot arrow but "a thousand needles," as a friend who is an economist puts it, Mr. Folsom said. "Having continuity to see that through over a three- to five- to six-year period going forward is going to be critical."
The Overall Economy
"The overall economy is not completely out of the woods," Mr. Folsom observed. "Export volumes have not turned around or grown to the extent expected" with the weaker yen. "I think there is fundamentally an issue with the competitiveness of Japanese corporations on a global basis"—Sony and Panasonic being "poster children for this in the media." As large companies in Japan adapt to these realities, "potentially investing in corporate carve outs" becomes "one of the opportunity sets for private equity."
Fiscal Concerns. "Foreign equity investors remain concerned about the fiscal situation," he said. "So far in the current year [corporate] earnings are up significantly, and the tax base has increased," as the Abe administration had hoped. "The question is can that sustain itself over a period of time to make a significant dent in the debt."
Geopolitics. The geopolitical situation in North Asia "does have a real impact on corporate behavior and corporate sentiment... It's probably a reality that it's going to persist for the rest of my active investment career. But it's just something that we have to find a way to get comfortable with and deal with."
Demographics. To address Japan's aging demographics, the Abe government is exploring policies on women's participation in the workforce. Raising the age at which Social Security benefits begin "now looks like it's becoming part of the discussion" in the government—interesting especially in light of Australia's having raised the Social Security age to 70 or 73, versus 63 or so in Japan. Immigration policy is another important arena.
Private Equity Opportunities
2013 was a busy and successful year for his firm, Mr. Folsom said. The improved public market environment enabled Advantage Partners to exit eight of its 17 or 18 active portfolio investments, as well as to make four new investments.
Exits. "When you talk M&A with Japanese corporations, it almost always implies buying, and seldom implies selling. We try to preach the gospel that it's both.... But that is still slow to come in some sense."
Markets. The environment is a good one for helping portfolio companies to boost earnings, "getting some level of top-line growth both domestically, but also helping companies to access... and develop overseas markets."
Deal Flow. Major drivers of deal flow this year are expected to include corporate divestitures and founder succession, the latter partly for estate planning purposes and partly "for transition to professional management," Mr. Folsom explained. Owners see the upward market trend as a signal that they can get an appropriate valuation if they sell.
Secondary buyouts, that is, buying from other funds, will also play a role. Public to private deals may see "a little bit of slowing this year," and restructurings and special situations will be "a little bit more cyclical."
Performance of Portfolio Companies
"We pride ourselves on the fact that our portfolio in aggregate has significantly outperformed the market," Mr. Folsom said. The portfolio didn't experience "the same level of declines in the downturn," and achieved "a stronger uptick in the current market environment, with our portfolio companies projecting an even higher level of growth in the current environment."
"We attribute that to maybe a more intensely focused drive to make sure that we're getting the most in terms of profit margin, cost control and going after whatever marginal topline revenue opportunities there are, and doing that in a more intensified fashion than your average company in Japan has done. The result is a significant difference."
Changing Attitudes Towards M&A and Buyouts
Historical barriers to M&A and buyouts in Japan have lessened in several areas, he said—"the cultural perception of M&A being very negative, the stigma of selling out... the lifetime employment legacy, also meaning that ownership doesn't change hands either."
Many cross-shareholdings, by their nature conducive to "a lack of focus on shareholder value," have been unwound. In 1990 they were 30 or 35 percent of the market; today, less than 10 percent. "The slack has been taken up by foreign shareholders, which was 5 or 6 percent and is now 25 percent of the market cap in Japan."
Mid-1990s deregulation in Japan not only made private equity possible, but also "has led to the mobility of human capital." Layoffs and factory closings have "become acceptable and commonplace"; "responsiveness to performance incentives, and more entrepreneurial opportunities have emerged as well."
M&A activity in Japan was flat in 2010-11, in reaction to the financial crisis. Deal volume is still five or six times higher than in the mid-1990s, and Advantage Partners expects it to pick up again. Private equity buyers are between 10 and 25 percent of M&A deals in North America and Europe but no more than 3 or 4 percent in Japan; "to us that says that private equity activity still has room to grow." With "more and more success stories getting into the media," corporate sellers and founder/owners will continue to become more comfortable with these transactions.
"Our focus has been, and continues to be, on [the] mid-market space. But there still is expectation that eventually we'll see more of the corporate sellers," Mr. Folsom said.
"Yes, there has been a private equity market that has emerged and evolved," Mr. Folsom said. "The current Abenomics environment is positive" for the evolution of the private equity market in Japan. "But there are other things that private equity has in front of it in terms of overcoming issues in terms of perception, and more players potentially entering the market and helping drive penetration, which is where the real opportunity for private equity is."
Daniel Bases of Thomson Reuters, who presided, began the Q&A:
Talk about how you view the impact of carve outs on the overall economy.
"There are lots of them potentially there; they just haven't emerged," Mr. Folsom said. Companies like Sony and Panasonic want to "regain their competitive stature globally," and to do that, they "need to focus on key areas where they're going to invest more resources than any of their competitors, in terms of next-generation product technology, manufacturing technology, manufacturing sites."
Carve outs help the seller devote more resources to its core assets. Meanwhile, the business that's sold gains "a shareholder that is single-mindedly focused on that business and how they can best make that business competitive. That in itself I think would be positive for the overall Japanese economy."
In the next three to five years, which sectors will see the most activity?
"There will be a shift from industrial export-based businesses to more service sector industries and businesses." Advantage Partners has been doing transactions in consumer services, especially retail, food services, restaurant businesses, business services. Another growth area will be health care-related businesses, "things that cater to and provide value-added services to the aging population."
The audience joined in:
Japanese companies are good at outbound investment, but what about inbound investment by foreign companies?
That's "still very limited," Mr. Folsom said. Where a private equity firm buys a Japanese company and later exits that investment, the ultimate buyer may be a foreign company. In this sense private equity may be able to facilitate more foreign inbound acquisitions in Japan.
How practical is it for the likes of Panasonic and Sony to spin off divisions given the cross-collateralization of those divisions by the banks?
"Many times it is the banks that are also trying to encourage" the divestiture, and will get some repayment of the debt out of the deal proceeds, he said.
What is the investor appetite for funds based in Japan and doing deals in Japan?
It's strong, Mr. Folsom said, in part because investors who feel they may be overallocated in China are looking to "more developed Asia, which really turns out to be Australia, Korea and Japan," for "this year and next year, and maybe a little bit beyond that."
I'm wondering about globalization culture in Japan. Do you see progress, for example more use of English in the companies?
"Language admittedly is sometimes a barrier in Japan for foreign operators. For foreign investors, they don't necessarily need to be involved directly. We just need to be the translators of information that we provide to our investor base, and I think we've done a reasonably successful job at that."
"When we do our business with the Japanese companies, it's all in Japanese—all of the documentation, all of the internal communication—because that's what those companies, the management and those employees are going to be most effective at. It would seem artificial and inefficient to try to impose something other than that on a management team or a company."

Q: Disable button in a row table I have a table with each rows have a Send Button:

            Name
            Age
            Address
            Button

            20
            Street AA
            Send

            Mr.XX
            20
            Street XX
            Send

            Mr.YY
            20
            Street YY
            Send

Preview
All values in that table I get from database. So what I want to do is, when the NAME value is empty, the send button will be disabled based on its row table.

A: You really need to not put the button there if the database returns an empty name instead of removing it after. Something like
<a name="sendName" id="<? echo "id".&name; ?>"
<? if (&name!="") echo 'href="#"'; ?>>Send

or
<? if (&name=="") { ?>
  Send
<? } else { ?>
  <a name="sendName" id="<? echo "id".&name"; ?>" href="#">Send
<? }  ?>

A: Since you have no input values i do not quite understand why you want to use javascript for a task like this. If the value is empty simply do not display the link at all. Or remove the href-attribute add a css class and style the link different.
//disabled link
Send

I don't know if this was a copy/paste error but you use the same ID sendID on all links.

A: Try the Below example code on send link :
<?php if($row['NAME']==''){ echo 'Send' } else{?>
            Send
            <?php }?>

A: you can try this jquery code for that you you need to include jquery library

Three teenagers have been found guilty after a 17-year-old was stabbed to death outside a KFC restaurant in Edgware Road.
Yousef Beker lost his life on September 10 last year following a 'disagreement', a trial at the Old Bailey heard today (July 13).
Prosecutors described the incident as a "brutal and deadly display of violence on a busy street in broad daylight".
Paramedics arrived shortly after the attackers had fled, but Yousef died in hospital that evening.
He had been fatally stabbed in the chest.
Sentences for attacks on police could be doubled after more than 140 officers injured in London violence

Two youths, 17, have now been convicted of killing, as well as co-defendant Zeshaun Daley, 19, who was convicted of murder.
Olcay Sapanoglu, Senior Crown Prosecutor from the CPS, said: "This murder was a shocking, sudden, brutal and deadly display of violence on a busy street in broad daylight.
"The victim was chased and surrounded before being attacked with knives as he lay defenceless on the ground.
"He stood no chance.
Zeshaun Daley will be sentenced at a later date
"The prosecution case included witness accounts, medical and forensic evidence as well as CCTV of the murder.
"I hope these convictions provide some sense of comfort to the family and friends of Yousef Beker. Our thoughts remain with them."
This was one of the first jury trials to restart and conclude during the coronavirus pandemic.
Social distancing guidelines were adhered to across all three courtrooms used during the process.
Some defendants chose to attend via video link, while others attended in person.
When the judge was not sitting, case conferences with clients could take place inside the overspill courtroom.
The public gallery was open with social distancing measures in place, and jurors sat two metres apart in the benches.
All civilian witnesses had already presented their evidence ahead of the lockdown, and others voluntarily attended court.
Zeshaun Daley, 19, from Brixton, was found guilty of murder and having an offensive weapon.
One 17-year-old, from Brixton, was found guilty of manslaughter, while the other, also from Brixton, was found guilty of murder and having an offensive weapon.
They will be sentenced at a later date.

Female gladiators who were like HG's Katniss Everdeen may have existed during ancient times.
Just like the HG movies, the Thailand protesters hold up three fingers.
Even before the verdict was decided in Ferguson, Missouri, someone graffitied, "IF WE BURN YOU BURN WITH US"—a direct line from HG's Mockingjay. The events following verdict looked like an enactment scene from the HG movie series where most people protested peacefully while others got violent. The real-life police's formations resembled the HG's Peacekeepers, too.
Best mockingjay-like bird ever! It can mimic all sorts of weird noises.

L'Amour fou (Crazy Love) is the 27th studio album of French popular singer Françoise Hardy. Released in France on November 5, 2012 on CD Virgin/EMI (5099997278726), and December 3, 2012 on LP Virgin/EMI (5099997278719).

It was published in Great Britain on April 15, 2013 on CD, Virgin/EMI (5099997278726).

27th album
The album L'Amour fou (Crazy Love) contains ten original songs where Hardy sings over ambient piano and the Macedonian Radio Symphonic Orchestra's string arrangements. This album marks 50 years of the singer's musical career (her debut album was released in November 1962), appearing simultaneously with a book also called L'Amour fou.

"My publisher wanted another book after my autobiography which met some success," she says, "and I had these stories originally written for myself many years ago. Stories exploring the pain of love. He encouraged me to rewrite them and they came out in conjunction with the album."
On the album, Hardy swings a literary connection by turning a Victor Hugo poem into lyrics. "I liked the melody, and while I generally do not like poems, this one was a marvel of simplicity. It goes: 'Why are you coming to see me if you have nothing to tell me?' I like that. […] The album did not find a wide audience when issued in France. Radio did not play it. Radio only plays music for kids, and for an artist like myself who does not tour, well, I need radio."

So it seems the CentOS-7-i386 does not support this HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9, we have some hardware drivers that only support 32-bit Linux kernel, we are stuck in the i386 Linux. Also I noticed that the CentOS-7-x86_64 support UEFI boot mode, but the CentOS-7-i386 does not, and it is still using the legacy BIOS boot mode.
Is it possible for CentOS-7-i386 to fix the CPU issue?
I had to disable the x2APIC feature in the firmware settings of the DL360 G9 in order for the CPU's to show up.
After disabled the x2APIC feature in the BIOS, it is now showing all the CPUs and the problem is resolved.
Thank you very much, fes!


Fashion designer Nickolay Teryuhin hails from a remote part of northern Russia.
As a child, he developed a great interest in the history and people of this region, and discovered authentic folk costumes in antique chests.
This sparked his passion for traditional Russian styles of dress, the cuts, colours, and textiles of which he has since integrated in the contemporary fashion collections found in this volume.
From patchwork and folk denim, to patterns from Kargopol and indigenous inspirations, Teryuhin's garments reflect a wide range of traditional costumes, as well as the pride that comes in bringing his own narrative of Russian couture to the international fashion world.
