Deaths from liver cancer in Canada have doubled over the past 25 years. And to make matters worse, there's an epidemic of liver cancer on the horizon if action isn't taken soon.
While less people are dying from most major cancers — such as breast cancer and lung cancer — liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma or HCC) is bucking the trend and heading in the wrong direction.
In 1993, liver cancer rates in Canadian men were five cases per 100,000 population. By 2017 this had risen to 9.9 cases.
For women, rates are much lower, but the trend is the same. In 1993, 1.6 Canadian women per 100,000 were diagnosed with liver cancer; by 2017 this had almost doubled. In hard numbers this means that last year 1,900 men in Canada were diagnosed with liver cancer and 580 women. A total of 950 men died from liver cancer and 270 women.
This is not unique to Canada; a similar pattern is seen in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and most other developed countries.
At this week's Global Hepatitis Summit in Toronto (June 14-17), I will be among a group of liver cancer experts exploring these trends.
What are the reasons for this increase, and why are they being discussed at the Global Hepatitis Summit? It is because both hepatitis B and hepatitis C are serious liver infections that cause inflammation.
When left untreated, both infections can progress to liver scarring, cirrhosis, liver cancer and, ultimately, an early death.
Today, there are an estimated 230,000 Canadians with hepatitis B and 250,000 with hepatitis C. Almost half of each group do not know they are infected, which hugely increases their risk of progression to serious liver disease and cancer.
An enormous effort will be needed from provincial and territorial governments —with federal government support — to find, diagnose and treat these missing patients and to link them to care.
Also contributing to Canada's liver cancer problem is the obesity epidemic: about two thirds of Canadian men and half of women are thought to be overweight or obese.
Some one in five Canadians have some degree of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which causes inflammation and can progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Canada's limited number of liver specialists (less than 100 nationwide) and a few oncologists dealt with around 5,000 cases of liver cancer during 2017.
However, the hepatitis B and C epidemics, combined with Canada's continuously increasing obesity problem, threaten to drown liver cancer specialists with new cases in the coming decades — with numbers reaching tens of thousands annually over the next 20 years.
We are completely unprepared to deal with such an epidemic of liver cancer. Not only would we be submerged in the sheer number of cases, the financial considerations for provinces and territories and the federal government would be phenomenal.
And many of these liver cancers strike people in their 50s, when they are still of working age. So families are not only in danger of losing a loved one, but possibly the main breadwinner in their family unit.
Not only is Canada's system of liver specialists being gradually overwhelmed, but there is also a shortage of new liver specialists interested in HCC being trained.
Graduating liver specialists (hepatologists) tend not to specialise in liver cancer. Nor is it a popular speciality in oncology. However, this area is a growing field and there are plenty of opportunities for young physicians to do both practice and research.
Provinces and territories must also take a fresh look at remuneration for liver specialists, who are generally not as well paid as those in other specialities such as gastroenterology.
It may be necessary to develop some special programs to address this issue and boost recruitment in order to deal with the tsunami of liver disease and cancer that Canada is facing.
However, the news is not all bad. Even though Canada's incidence and mortality rates for liver cancer have doubled over the last 25 years, the actual numbers are much better for Canada than other developed nations. With six new cases per 100,000 population per year, Canada's liver cancer incidence is lower than Australia (7.4) the U.S. (9.2) and the U.K. (9.6).
A similar pattern is seen with mortality: Canada's death rate for liver cancer (three per 100,000 population) is less than half that of the U.S. and Australia (both 6.6) and the U.K. (8.7).
I believe this is due to our excellent record in finding cases of liver cancer very early, when they can still be successfully operated and treated. The U.S. obviously lacks universal health coverage and the U.K. has a high level of alcoholic liver disease contributing to the epidemic there.
To reverse the increasing trend in liver cancer in Canada and elsewhere, a combination of things will need to occur. First, more patients with hepatitis B and hepatitis C must be diagnosed and treated or cured. Second, new therapies within the next decade should also greatly improve care and prognosis for hepatitis B.
Finally, because obesity in Canada shows no signs of retreating, we will be dependent on new treatments in the pipeline for fatty liver disease. It is unclear at this point how many cases of cirrhosis and liver cancer this will prevent.

Q: How to format the left legend on chartjs I have a chart and I want to format the values on the left side to money format. The image is where I want to change.
the chart
That's my code so far:
  this.Chart = new Chart('kpi', {
  type: 'bar',
  data: {
    labels: cat,
    datasets: [
      {
        data: Value,
        label: "Categorias",
        backgroundColor: 'rgba(26, 179, 148, 0.4)',
        borderColor: 'rgba(26, 179, 148, 1)',
        borderWidth: 2
      }
    ]
  },
  options: {
    events: ['mousemove', 'click'],
    },
    hover: {
      mode: "nearest",
    },
    scales: {
      yAxes: [{
        id: 'data',
        type: 'linear',
        ticks: {
          beginAtZero: true
      }
      }]
    },
    title: {
      display: true,
      text: 'Categorias',
      fontSize: 20,
      fontColor: 'rgba(26, 179, 148, 1)',
      fontStyle: 'normal'
    },
    tooltips: {
      mode: "nearest",
      callbacks: {
        title: (item, data) => {
        },
        label: (item, data) => {
          let index = item.index;
          item.value = numeral(data.datasets[0].data[index]).format('$0,0.00');
          return `${data.labels[index]}: ${item.value}`
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

I want to format with ".format('$0,0.00')" like on the label, or something like that, but I don't know how to format those values.

A: var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'line',
    data: data,
    options: {
        scales: {
            yAxes: [{
                ticks: {
                    // Include a dollar sign in the ticks
                    callback: function(value, index, values) {
                        return '$' + value;
                    }
                }
            }]
        }
    }
});

This is a sample code to format the y axis value from the documentation page of chartjs. You can use this callback to format your labels.

3. SARDA has not been able to find a suitable candidate to take up the post of Executive Director. The last two recruitment exercises conducted in 1993 and 1994 had not been fruitful. There is, as yet, no prospective candidate within the organisation ready to fill the post. Executive Director in 1995 and 1996 because Since it would be desirable to retain the secondment of an experienced civil servant at PEO level to provide the necessary continuity and leadership for overseeing various proposals which are in their critical stage of implementation or development, SARDA has not attempted to recruit its own Executive Director in 1995 and 1996.

Spirit AeroSystems (Europe) Limited ('Spirit' or 'the Company') values our employees and the contribution they make. We pay all of our employees commensurate with the market for the position they are in and their unique skills and experience. Spirit employees enjoy a working environment where there are equal opportunities for everyone to fulfil their potential and contribute to the success of the business, irrespective of gender.
Spirit is the wholly owned subsidiary of Spirit AeroSystems, Inc., a global company. Spirit's customers include Airbus and Boeing. Spirit designs, develops and manufactures complex structures for the aerospace industry. Spirit's manufacturing facility in the UK is located in Prestwick, Scotland.
Spirit had 890 full pay relevant employees at the snapshot date of 5 April 2018, comprising of various skill sets including design, engineering, transfer and project management skills, as well as a highly skilled manufacturing population.
Although our workforce is predominately male, we are pleased to report an increase in our female population from 73 full pay relevant female employees this time last year, which was 8 percent of our total workforce, to 84 female employees, which is 9.4 percent of our total workforce. We have 806 male members of staff, which represents 90.6 percent of our workforce.
The Gender Pay Gap (the 'GPG') is a measure of the difference in the average pay of men and women – regardless of the nature of their work – employed by Spirit.
distribution of men and women across pay quartiles.
The GPG shows the difference between the mean (average) and median (mid-point) hourly earnings and bonus payments for both male and female employees, expressed as a percentage.
Mean Pay Gap 0.05%: This means that the mean average hourly rate for male employees is 0.05 percent more than for female employees.
Median Pay Gap 0.56%: This means the median hourly rate for male employees is 0.56 percent more than for female employees.
Spirit's average hourly GPG is lower than the UK National Average GPG, which according to the Office of National Statistics, fell during 2018 to 8.6 percent.
In the 12 months preceding April 2018, 98.67 percent of males and 96.59 percent of females received a bonus.
Mean Bonus Gap – 25.55%: Mean (average) female bonus earnings are 25.55 percent higher than for male employees.
Median Bonus Gap – 9.30%: Median (middle) female bonus earnings are 9.30 percent higher than for male employees.
At Spirit, we ensure that there is no gender bias in the approach to bonus payments. The bonus awards differ between populations, mainly due to having different terms and conditions for different levels of roles within the company. The reason for percentage figures not reflecting 100 percent for both populations is solely based on new employees commencing with the company out-with the end of the Bonus Scheme Year.
Stock awards are also included in the bonus calculations. These form part of the terms and conditions for senior roles within the organisation, but are not available to all staff.
Since implementation of the Graduate Apprentice Programme in 2018, which gives existing employees the opportunity to up-skill and the potential to progress their career, we are pleased to say at the start of 2018/19 academic year, eight employees are undertaking Engineering: Design & Manufacture BEng (Hons) Graduate Apprenticeship, and five employees are undertaking the Business Management BA (Hons) Graduate Apprenticeship with the company's intention being to offer this opportunity again for academic year 2019/20. The gender split across the population is 70 percent male and 30 percent female.
Our Modern Apprenticeship Programme currently has 35 employees enrolled, with the intended 2019 intake being 15 new hires, replicating the success of 2018. Spirit continues to work with local schools to publicise the Apprenticeship Programme, both through our new Engineering Gender Equity Programme, as well as a Spirit-hosted event in January 2019 with around 15 local secondary school teachers to raise awareness of the Programme and ensure all students are informed of the opportunity.
In 2018, Spirit demonstrated our commitment to see gender balance at all levels of the business by committing to the UK government's Women in Aviation and Aerospace Charter. The charter commits Spirit to drive towards an aspiration to see gender balance at all levels across the industry.
In support of this, Spirit has commenced a programme known as Engineering Gender Equity, which invites a number of female students from local secondary schools into the business to learn about the various departments and functions. The programme runs twice per year and invites the same students back each year to allow them to expand their knowledge of the different functions within the business and the industry as a whole. Although in the main the programme focuses on engineering roles, it also covers functional roles within the business.

INFLUENCE OF ADVERT ON STUDENTS' PATRONAGE OF PRODUCTS & SERVICES
(Last Updated On: 24th January 2023)
ABSTRACT: The basic objective of this study was to investigate the influence of advert on students' patronage of products and services. Advertising is a powerful tool for persuading customers to purchase goods and services by reaching out to them directly. The Cultivation Theory, Persuasion Theory, and Behavioural Theory were the foundations of this study. Survey research was used as the study's research method. Questionnaire was used to gather data for this research from the respondents that were selected using quota sampling. The frequency and percentage method was used to analyze the data, and tables were used to illustrate it. The study finds out that many of the respondents were often exposed to commercials/advertisement greatly while advertisements from the newspaper, television, and radio are considered to be more persuasive. According to the survey, manufacturers should make every effort to have a consistent message in their advertising to attract more customers and raise awareness.
Keywords: PATRONAGE OF PRODUCTS
The essence of being in a business by any commercial organisation is to produce for sales and profits. For an organisation to survive in business competition such organisation need to generate enough sales from its products or services to cover operating costs and reasonable profits. This is significant because the company does not just produce products for fun but to package, market, distribute and make more profit especially in this competitive market.
Of all marketing weapons, advertising has a leading impact on viewers minds, as its exposure is much more felt (Katke, 2007). The marketing mix has four subsets i.e. product, price, place and promotion. Advertising is a component of the promotional mix, which is used to create awareness about products and services for making purchase decisions
Definition of advertising as the non-personal communication of information usually paid for any usually persuasive in nature about products (goods and services) or ideas by an identified sponsor through various media. It is an exciting, dynamic, and challenging enterprise (Kamal, 2016). An advertisement is defined by the Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON) as a communication in the media paid for by an identifiable sponsor and directed at a target audience with the aim of transferring information about a product, service, idea or cause.
It is often persuasive communication in that it tries to persuade the consumers, reader, the listener or the viewer to take to the sponsor's own point of view and also to take some appropriate action. It is not personal or face to face communication rather it is directed to a group of people. Advertising is impersonal communication of information about products, services or ideas through the mass media, and it is often persuasive and paid for by identified sponsors (Svetlana, 2014) cited in (Bovee, 1992). Advertising can be defined as a form of communication in the media paid for by an identifiable sponsor and directed "at a target audience with the aim of imparting information about a product, service, idea or cause." (APCON, 2017).
Carthy (2004) writes that advertising is any paid form of non-personal presentation of ideas, goods or services by an identified sponsor". It is any form of non-personal communication through the mass media that is paid for by an identified sponsor. Sarva (2005) define advertising as a public announcement to inform and persuade people to buy a product, a service or an idea using suitable mass media. According to Sarva (2005), an advertisement can include but is not be limited to any form of notice, label, wrapper, circular or any other information made orally or in printing.
Therefore, Dominick (2007) defines advertising as any form of non-personal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods and services, usually paid for, by an identified sponsor. Also, Leo (2013) states that advertising is a controlled, identifiable and persuasive communication that is presented via the mass media and designed to develop product demand and to create a favourable image for a company.
Therefore, the essence of advertisement is to persuade buyers to buy particular goods or use a particular service with the hope to increase company profit. Monle and Johnso, (2005) come up with the main reasons and role that advertising play in business thus: It gives information about the product or services, its features and its location of sale, it informs the consumers about new products, advertising performs a persuasive mission. It tries to persuade consumers to buy particular brands or to change their behaviours toward the product and company. Also, it performs the reminder mission to remind consumers about a product to keep buying the advertised product instead of the rival brands while it equally helps to create a brand name for the product being promoted.
However, age, sex, educational background, religion, political affiliation among others determine the extent and how advertisement influence audience buying habit. Other factors that determine how certain media messages will influence the consumers buying behaviour are a type of appeals, technique, language and advertising media.
It should be added that the way certain advertising messages will influence youth may differ from how it may influence children and adults. For instance, students of Osun State Polytechnic Iree are youth and educated so they may be influenced by an advert in a way different from primary school pupils and the type of appeal for the students of Ospoly may be different from what they use for others.
Also, advertisers use different media of mass communication, ranging from print media (newspapers and magazines), broadcast media (radio and television) and billboards and to the recent online and digital advertising media in reaching out to the targeted audience. Pre-research information revealed that advertisers often use radio, television, newspaper, billboard and online to reach out to students of Osun State University, Osogbo who are persuaded to buy or use one service or the other ranging from phone, computer, fashion, training, data, wristwatch, eatery etc.
The research, therefore, set out to examine the influence of advertisement on the patronage of Osun State University, Osogbo with the view to know the extent to which exposure of students UNIOSUN has to influence their buying decision and what appeals to them in advertising messages.
Critics claim that advertising manipulates us into buying things by playing on our emotions and promising. The study, therefore, tries to examine the influence of advertisement on the patronage of Osun State University, Osogbo because consumers (students) are different personalities in terms of age, sex, social background, culture, religion, academic background among others and as a result, they are influenced differently since what appeals to some set of individuals may be different from others due to their need and taste. Some consumers by the virtue of their age or social status prefer certain products over another and vice versa and therefore influence their buying habits. It is against this background that the research examines the influence of advertisement on the patronage of Osun State University, Osogbo with the view to know the extent to which advertisement influences their choice of products and services.
To ascertain whether students of Osun State University, Osogbo are exposed to advertisements.
To determine whether advertisements have influenced students of UNIOSUN buying habits.
To what extent do students Osun State University, Osogbo exposed to an advertisement?
To what extent has advertisements influenced students' buying habits?
This work though not exhaustive is quite necessary at a time the media an awash with all forms of advertisement to lure consumers.
It will educate consumers on the best ways to respond to advertisements while advertisers will learn to understand the need to follow the ethics of the profession by avoiding advertisements that are subversive. Students of advertising will also find this work useful as it will expose them to various forms of media advertisements.
Essentially, this study makes a significant contribution to the existing literature on the attitude of consumers towards larger products. The study will also be of great use to mass communication and marketing students who intend to take up similar studies.
This study which investigated the influence of advertisement on the patronage of students was narrowed to Osun State University, Osogbo. The students of the institution are used due to their proximity to the researcher and lack of funds to travel to many tertiary institutions.
1.7 Operational Definition of Terms.

Q: Integrating Factor... Bernoulli?? $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(y+1)^4}{[1-3((y+1)^3)]x}, \; y(0)=0$
I have to solve it using an integrating factor. I subtracted the right hand side to the left hand side to make everything equal 0. I'm not sure what to do from there. Am I dealing with a Bernoulli equation or can I simply find an integrating factor?

A: The ODE you're asking to solve is
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(y+1)^4}{[1-3((y+1)^3)]x}, \; y(0)=0 \tag{1}\label{eq1}$$
This is a separable ODE. To solve it, multiply both sides of \eqref{eq1} by $dx\left(\frac{1-3(y+1)^3}{(y+1)^4}\right)$ to get
$$\left(\frac{1-3(y+1)^3}{(y+1)^4}\right)dy = \frac{dx}{x} \tag{2}\label{eq2}$$
Integrating each side gives
$$\frac{1}{-3(y+1)^3} - 3\ln|y+1| = \ln|x| + C \tag{3}\label{eq3}$$
You can't use the initial condition to determine $C$ as $\ln(0)$ is not defined. Note that, on the RHS, for $y = 0$, you get $\frac{1}{-3}$. Also, in the original ODE in \eqref{eq1}, the initial condition has the numerator being $1$ but the denominator being $0$, so the derivative is not defined. As such, it appears the ODE is ill-posed.

Khirbat al-Majdal  was a Palestinian Arab village in the Tulkarm Subdistrict. It was depopulated during the 1947–48 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on March 1, 1948, under Operation Coastal Clearing. It was located 10 km northwest of Tulkarm.

History
Khirbat al-Majdal  was located on the Crusader  place called Megedallum. The site had a well, around which bedouin gradually settled.

The village had a shrine for a local sage known by al-Shaykh Abdallah. Today, Sde Yitzhaq is located near the village lands, but on land belonging to Raml Zayta.

Riverkeeper on NY State's Plan for the Tappan Zee
Photo: Rob Friedman
Why we must do better
Last week, New York State released its Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the proposed new Tappan Zee Bridge project. Since that time, Riverkeeper has reviewed the 1,000+ page document and found serious areas of concern.
As environmental advocates whose core mission is to protect and restore the Hudson River, Riverkeeper is extremely disturbed about the damage to the Hudson and its key fish species, such as endangered Atlantic and Shortnose sturgeon and declining stocks of American Shad, that would result from the pile driving and dredging described in the replacement bridge proposal. While Federal biologists have issued a permit allowing only four sturgeon to be killed in building a new bridge, NY State environmental officials have predicted that the pile driving alone, during bridge construction, will kill as many as 141 Atlantic and Shortnose sturgeon, which would deal an irreparable blow to the dwindling Atlantic Sturgeon population. In addition, the State has rejected the use of construction techniques that could eliminate the need to dredge a 500 foot wide trench across the Hudson, destroying habitat and affecting critical fish migrations.
The FEIS also fails to address the addition of mass transit in any meaningful way, ignoring the needs of commuters who would greatly benefit from lower cost options to cross the river in the face of the $14 dollar tolls that would come along with a new bridge. As recently as 2009, the NYS Thruway Authority was saying that "mass transit offers the only realistic means of improving mobility" on the bridge and surrounding highways like Interstate 287. And the longer we wait for transit, the bigger and more costly the problem becomes. State projections show that travel along I-287 and the bridge will increase by as much as 44,000 trips each day, leading to longer delays and more accidents that will cost New Yorkers $166 million dollars annually by 2047.
It doesn't have to be that way. Roughly 50,000 drivers would trade their cars for a reliable bus system, according to the State. The State argues that we can't afford such a system, but, in an increasingly congested region like ours, where more cars means more delays and accidents, how can we afford not to include rapid transit in any plan for a new Hudson River crossing?
Of equal concern is the absence of a detailed analysis of options in the FEIS that may be better for the river and New Yorker's pocketbooks. One such option that was not explored in the FEIS is the tunnel alternative. Building a tunnel under the bed of the Hudson River would dramatically reduce impacts to this invaluable natural resource, as well as restore the magnificent Tappan Zee section of the river to local communities. The State insists a tunnel alternative won't work, but it relies on a 2007 study that doesn't consider the most current tunnel technology, and it refuses to do a fair, public comparison of the costs and benefits of a tunnel vs. two new bridges. The public deserves to have such a comparison to consider before being asked to foot the bill for a $5 billion project to build a two-span bridge, without mass transit, which will cause severe damage to the Hudson River environment.
Riverkeeper stands ready to work with New York State on a Tappan Zee Bridge project that is right for our region, one that abides by Governor Cuomo's promise in 2010 to provide "environmentally friendly public transportation" and protection of our natural resources. In the meantime, we will work to make sure that the needs of our river and the people living near it are met.

Junior's a fan of just about any activity that takes place in the snow, including snowshoeing. Rather than buy a set of small adult snowshoes that they'll spend the next year and a half trying to grow into, upgrade to the Tubbs Kids' Flex Hke Snowshoe. Made for not quite full-grown explorers, the Flex Hke falls in-between kid sizes and adult ones, giving your tweener an option that's made to accommodate their weight and foot size.
With a Flex Tail to absorb shock when you and Junior are out all day and a Torsion deck that adapts to everything from wind-buffed crust to fresh, fluffy pow, the Flex Hke was built to head off-trail. Tubbs' rotating toe cord keeps snow off the tails by pivoting with every step, ensuring your young one doesn't get weighed down on tougher sections, and gives them full access to the carbon steel crampon, molded snow brakes, and 3-D curved Traction Rails for reassuring grip on steep hikes or sketchy sections.

Test Their Logik G20 Update
Nearly five months after being charged with conspiracy and other indictable offences during Toronto's G20 protests, both members of the southern Ontario hip-hop group Test Their Logik had their charges stayed and release conditions withdrawn. Although the prosecutor originally said the government would be seeking jail time, it turned out they had very little evidence and didn't feel capable of bringing the case before a judge.
While asking to "stay" the charges, a move which still gives them a year to look for new evidence and re-open the case, the prosecutor told the judge, "We know they did it but we don't have the proof." This is a ridiculous assertion given that the main reason they were targeted and warrants were sent out for their hip-hop aliases is their music video "Crash The Meeting" that is still circulating on youtube.
There were over a thousand arrests and hundreds of charges brought against G20 resisters on little to no evidence. Like most charges relating to the G20, the charges against Testament and Illogik were targeted political repression not even perfunctorily disguised as an attempt to enact justice. The picture of Canada as a police state gone mad is growing ever clearer.
Unfortunately, though hundreds have had their charges dropped or stayed, several dozen still face very serious charges and need support urgently. It is more important than ever to donate to the legal defense of those still facing charges, and to show solidarity by any and all means. All proceeds from the Test Their Logik benefit album offered here two months ago will go to current G20 defendants.
As for Testament and Illogik, the two are now legally permitted to perform together, record together, and tour together. They are currently on tour in Mexico with Submedia promoting their music and the new film End Civ. In December they'll be back in the studio working on their debut album which they hope to drop in early 2011. Test Their Logik knows they've got talented and amazing people who dig their music and are looking for solidarity and mutual aid in the following ways: cover art, audio mastering, publicity/promotion, MC's/DJ's/producers to remix songs and circulate different versions, European booking contacts for a european tour, and assistance setting up "legitimate" gigs in the U.S. so the border guards will let them in for a tour once they finish the album.

A short piece about the place where we really live–transformed far, far away. A sketch for a short story perhaps.
We knew it when we saw it, the place for our dream house. We climbed the rocky slope, over and between the boulders left by the upthrust of tectonic events millennia ago. So much like the land we had left behind in the American Southwest, even to the thorny plants that could pierce heavy denim. New Mexico had been arid for so many generations, then the unending drought that came with global warming emptied the wells and killed all but the hardiest cacti. When the opportunity came, we joined the exodus to a new planet. The promotional videos showed a verdant world. Rivers, lakes of a peculiar purple and trees in hues we'd never seen on Earth. There might have been such places on Eleuthra, but not in the area open for settlement when we arrived. But it looked so much like the home we'd left behind, we weren't disappointed–too much.
Away from the few other settlers who dared the village outskirts, we sat on folding chairs we'd carried high atop the hill. First here, then there, we moved the chairs until the best view of the valley emerged. Semiarid like New Mexico, yet small streams flowed in a few places, sheltered by dull orange-colored trees. Mountains rose in the distance, with snow covered peaks rising several thousand feet above us. Yes, we could live here. We could write, we could paint, we could quilt. So much beauty, even amidst the danger. The deadly predators the Authority had failed to warn us of. Our future neighbors showed us the pictures and the defenses they'd erected. Still, if they could survive so could we. Not without some hardship. Not without some close calls we didn't expect.

Swords, Basket-hilted swords, 15th century weapons,
Schiavona
The Schiavona
A schiavona is a type of basket-hilted sword prominent during the Italian Renaissance. Characterized by its wide, double-edged blade, it was still a powerful choice of weapon as late as the French Revolution.
A late 18th century schiavona from Paris
Like all basket-hilted swords, the schiavona is distinguished by its elaborate guard consisting of intricately twisting bars of metal. Depending on the model in question, the guard may cover the entire hilt, serving as an effective protection for the wielder's hand.[1][2][3][4] Basket-hilted swords are also occasionally known as broadswords, and the schiavona in particular is an epitome of this name; its double-edged blade is often far wider than even other basket-hilted swords.[1][2][3] These great blades tended to be especially deadly, and the schiavona ranked among the most effective swords of Italy during the Renaissance.[1][2] While its contemporary counterparts in the Ottoman Empire were of inferior make,[3] schiavonas present in France at the end of the 18th century were of exceptional craftsmanship, surpassed in that period in Paris only by Swords of Eden.[4]
The schiavona was a popular weapon in Italy during the Renaissance and was widely sold in blacksmith shops across many cities such as Florence, Venice, Forlì, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, and Rome.[1][2] From 1511 to at least 1512, blacksmiths in Constantinople, capital of the Ottoman Empire, also supplied these swords though they were of inferior quality.[3] By the time of the French Revolution centuries later, schiavonas were still being produced, and those available in Parisian markets at the time were priced at 200,000 livres, making it the most expensive sword on the market in that turbulent years. Its price reflected its status as the most powerful human-forged sword in Paris then alongside the Cinquedea which although matched its deadliest was nevertheless cheaper.[4]
Era Level Damage Speed Deflect Range Cost Modifiers Availability
Italian Renaissance (15th c.) N/A 4 5 4 Not specified 25,000ƒ N/A Sequence 8
Ottoman era N/A 3 2 3 Not specified N/A N/A Sequence 2
French Revolution * * * * * 8 4 8 2 200,000₣ Additional damage: +25%
Historically, the schiavona was a late form of broadsword developed during the 16th century. Its use grew quite popularly over the next few decades, and the schiavona and other basket-hilted swords of its kind were wielded extensively throughout Renaissance Italy.
The name descends from their use by the Balkan mercenaries who served as bodyguards to the Doge of Venice. The mercenary groups consisted largely of Istrian and Dalmatian Slavs, known as the Schiavoni, hence the name.
The Schiavona can be obtained in Assassin's Creed: Revelations through Uplay.
The only difference between the Cinquedea and the Schiavona in Assassin's Creed: Unity is their model since their stats are identical though the Schiavona is more expensive than the Cinquedea.

To: Spelthorne Council
Save our green spaces in Spelthorne
Malcolm Beecher, Jan Doerfel, Tom Lagden and Veena Siva
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/public38/images/councillor.gif
Spelthorne Council is currently proposing a new assessment system which would strip 71 green spaces in Spelthorne of existing protection. Their consultation will close on Tuesday 4 June 2019.*
We call on Spelthorne Council to:
(1) automatically protect and designate all existing 71 protected urban open spaces (PUOS) in Spelthorne as Local Green Spaces (LGS),
(2) pro-actively protect all green spaces in Spelthorne (irrespective of their size and distance from communities) and not to employ size or distance thresholds,
(3) abandon the proposed points-based system, simplify the process and adopt as the only criterion the overriding "value to the local community" or wider public benefit (by reference to non-prescriptive and non-exhaustive reasons),
(5) Provide Green space protection also on the basis of carbon sink potential and carbon sequestration,
(6) Assume the evidential burden for proving that an area is not of local or public benefit (e.g. in terms of carbon sequestration, richness of wildlife, recreational use, beauty or historic value, or other reasons) and not impose this burden on local communities to adduce evidence to the contrary,
(7) Not to insist on public access as a necessary criterion for Local Green Space designation nor to attach less value as a result of lack of public access (as even green spaces without public access have considerable public benefits such as richness of wildlife (fauna & flora), visible benefits, contribution to tranquillity and shielding against noise, aiding air quality and acting as a carbon sink),
(8) ensure that Local Green spaces in public ownership remain in public ownership,
(9) protect existing rights of way over local green spaces (unless there are specific reasons in relation to the protection of wildlife (fauna & flora) which dictate a restriction.
* Please note that you can also send any representations directly to the Council to [email protected].
Spelthorne Council has published a consultation document which will strip 71 green spaces in Spelthorne of their existing protection as Protected Urban Open Spaces (PUOS). [1]
In their consultation document, the Council are proposing very onerous criteria for a new designation as 'Local Green Space' which – according to our detailed analysis – only one of the 71 currently protected public urban open spaces in Spelthorne can meet and which would leave our valued Green spaces at risk of development. [2]
As an example, the Council proposes that only urban spaces that are at least 0.25 hectares in size should be protected as local green spaces. This requirement automatically leaves 14 (~ 20%) of the 71 spaces (ranging from 0.07ha to 0.24ha) unprotected.
The other proposed criteria mean that 56 out of the 57 remaining sites will not be considered as having enough 'historic significance' (e.g. because they don't contain a combination of ancient monuments or listed buildings), "richness of wildlife" (because there currently is no evidence of "observed wildlife on site" and/or closeness to local nature reserves), recreational value (because they don't possess "good" or "excellent" free recreation facilities) or are not considered tranquil or beautiful enough.
It would not only be an immense loss to residents to lose important local green spaces – but a national tragedy when we already know that we only have 12 years to avert irreversible climate change. [3]

In an age awash with whitewashed EDM, Swedish artist, DJ and producer Petter Wallenberg celebrates house music in its original form: queer, black and vocal driven. On the mic he has some of house history's most legendary voices, such as Adeva who features on new single 'I Believe', released May 6th.
The new single is taken from Wallenberg's new album 'My House Is Your House' which sees him collaborating with some of the most important voices of classic house music. The single features Adeva, who alongside Frankie Knuckles was one of the early pioneers of the music style in the late 80's. This unique collaboration celebrates house music's roots in soul and gospel.

Kawzah/Kawza7: Volunteered 2 days of work: Lebanon,Part 2
In: auto-biography | Diaries | short stories/novellas | Travel/Excursions/Night out
Day 2. Volunteered two hard days of work: Where is this Kawzah (South Lebanon)?
Posted in August 27, 2011
Note: In Context. It is a small village in south Lebanon, this Kawzah, barely 50 families still hanging on, and a tiny St. Joseph church looking neglected from the outside, though fine and shining in the inside.
The church needed a face lift in repainting walls white, the iron fences and doors black, and planting a few plants in the miniature wild garden…and mainly collecting the dirt and a good hosing down of the yard…
Kawzah is mainly two hills: One of the hills is occupied by the UN contingent of Ghana.
Lebanon is the guest of a dozen UN contingents in the south, presumably to providing security to the offensive State of Israel. The money for this volunteer program is from an old grant signed with Italy in 2007.
It is 11 pm on a clear night. We are departing from Maroun el Ras, the highest small town overlooking Israel (altitude 1,000 meters) and which resisted Israel "preemptive war" in July 2006 for a week.
We entered Bint Jbeil, the capital city of western South, and prevented Israel to enter it, even after being totally demolished. Apparently, Hezbollah was Not ready to confront Israeli advance to that town, and half a dozen Communist fighters took strategic positions on buildings and delayed the advance until Hezbollah fighters arrived and took over the battle. The Emir of Qatar contributed and rebuilt the city.
We drove through Rmeish and witnessed two humongous wedding parties. Rmeish has three luxurious wedding restaurants, and 12,000 of its inhabitants flock in summer time.
In winter, Rmeish population is barely 6,000, (an estimate according to the hearsay of the people), still the largest "Christian town" in this southern region.
We passed the wedding that the volunteers from Debel and Rmeish were attending, and headed to another complex Sky Plaza (with an olympic swimming pool) where another wedding was going full blown.
We sat for dinner, overhanging the wedding party. The restaurant claimed that it has no "a la carte" menu (tonight?), but regular mezze ( an arrangement of a dozen small platters of a little of everything Mediterranean dishes). We ordered Lebanese beer Almaza.
We were 8 sitting at the table, but hunger was satisfied quickly. It appears that Ihab, Marwan, and I tasted from each dish and saved the honor of the eaters. We were kind of ripe for bed.
Chelsea just dropped her head on the table and was having a night dream.
It was time to pay the bill. Ihab was asked to pay his share. He was beside himself and told me: "Food was supposed to be free of charge to volunteers. We were entitled to a dinner. I have only about $5 left in my pocket…" I agreed with him.
We were home by 12:30 am.
The air-conditioned room allocated to males was displaced to a non-conditioned.
We were expecting a cool night as promised, but our luck deteriorated in this humid night. I had two alternatives: Cover up my face from mosquito bites and sweat it out, or doze on the balcony, much cooler. Cedric moved his "bed" to the saloon, facing an open door.
Ihab was plainly hot and suffocating. I kind of overheard him saying that his bunk should have been by the open door and not by the wall: I was prompt in being first to selecting my bed, though it didn't make much difference.
As Cedric was just getting to sleep, Ihab woke him up to complain again of the unfairness of paying for the dinner at the restaurant. I woke up at night, and here is Ihab complaining again.
I stepped outside to the balcony and Ihab followed me. I went back to bed and Ihab joined me. I think we didn't sleep much that night.
I woke up around 5:30 am and shaved and then got back in bed and covered my face. You think mosquitoes give up after 6 am, or after 7 am. This was not the case.
Around 6 am, Ihab was feeling too hot to staying in bed. For an hour, Ihab kept zipping and unzipping his small bag. The process is zip, ramage inside the bag, kratch, kritch…zap, and this noise continued for ever, including re-arranging the plastic bag.
I thought: "Either the zipping mechanism is going to break down, or Ihab is going to be surprised of finding gold in the bag…" It was the turn of Cedric to wash and re-arrange his bags.
Around 7 am, the party was having a nice, village-type breakfast, fresh products, real olive oil, jams, cheese, tea, fruits…
We arrived at the church in Kawzah by 8:15. The volunteered kids were already there and eating manakeech.
Frankly, the piece of mankouch that I tasted was not tasty and was hard to chew on, but the hungry kids were not complaining.
The scene looked "exhausted", Not ready for work: The girls were waiting nonchalantly.
I decided to clean up the debris, dirt, plastic hand gloves, just to to have a good visual of the battle field. Emilie gathered us in groups again: Priority was to make the church surrounding as white as possible.
By 9 am, we were surprised to witness the Rmeish volunteers step out of the bus: They had barely slept from a night-long wedding partying. Mass started at 9:30 and many had an excellent excuse to attend mass instead of working.
The priority shifted toward rendering the outside wall white instead of brown dirt. Michelle galvanized the Rmeish volunteers by working on the ego of their "leader": "If you work, they will join you". It worked, and the outside wall was kind of whiter within two hours.
After 2 pm, we focused on scrapping the ground of paints, white and black. We had four hand scrapers (mejhaf) and I worked pretty hard scrapping, kneeling and stooping.
Mario was the hardest male volunteer and climbed on the roofs to paint white the borders. Three girls worked very hard, among them was Manuella who took over from me hosing down (shatef) the saloon: She had one finger blistered by the end of the task.
A water truck arrived and a complete hosing down of the yard was undertaken.
The job was done by 3:30 and we settled in groups talking. The volunteers of Rmeish and Debel complained that the government has this policy (for the last 30 year, of castrating them from higher offices in public service positions). Why?
Debel and Rmeish are considered potential hotbed towns for spies to Israel: They have been recruits in the Lebanese army detached to the south, which allied to Israel for over 25 years against the Palestinian Resistance and later against Hezbollah.
Elie said that the highest rank he could dream off is sergeant in the internal security forces (darak). Elie said that the only ways to keeping in touch with relatives and families living in Israel was through the Christian churches.
Many Lebanese who fled to Israel in May 24, 2000 returned to Lebanon. A few who returned faced military court, served short prison terms and where released.
(It is to be noted that Hezbollah never entered any of "Christian towns" in order to avoid quick revenge, as it happened in France as the Germans vacated Paris, and waited for the lebanese army to take care of the situation)
I said to Elie that they should keep knocking on all doors and not just wait for any quick changes in policies toward the Christian Lebanese in the southern villages. I said that the current government will be more receptive to their demands if they get out of their shells and connect.
(My contention is that they should open lines of communications with Hezbollah: The successive Lebanese government never considered the south as part of Lebanon, kind of hopeless case, since independence in 1943)
Around 4 pm, tables and chairs were brought by a caterer, along with food to be cooked fresh.
It was the usual: shish tawook (chicken), shish pork, homus, baba ghanouj (mashed eggplant with sesame sauce), and imported German beer, which made me sick an hour after we finished. I had gas pressing on my chest and stomach for over 3 hours.
We danced dabkeh and I participated vigorously. The volunteer of Debel insisted that we prolong the party and we arrived at a natural grove, surrendered by five ancient oak trees. There is an underground cave dug in stone with 12 burying grounds dug in the stone inside.
The people in this region disseminate the myth that Jesus and his disciples, who actually lived in that region for 20 years before Jesus ventured to upper Galilee to preach his message, made this cave a dwelling place in period of persecutions.
They claimed that Israel, on purpose, tried to bomb this place during the preemptive war of July 2006. My contention was "if they are hiding, why do they have to dig in the stone to sleep instead of arranging a more comfortable place?" I think this grove was the burial ground of a rich family.
Well, I was in bad shape to participate in the conversation, but I shared a cup of whiskey. There was a swimming complex ten meters up and I was glad to pay a visit to the toilet.
By 8:30 pm we were heading back home. It took over 2:30 hours to arrive in front of the ministry of social affairs. Cedric had decided to join the car of Hala in order to have a reprieve from Ihab's repeat stories.
Emilie was feeling sleepy and hungry for a dish of real salad. We had to wait 20 minutes for Hala to arrive: They paid a visit to the nearby office of Cedric to check the WC.
Cedric drove half asleep and we were lucky to be home at around 12:30 am.
Note 1: Emilie teaches Arabic at a private school, and work on contract with the ministry of social affairs for volunteer programs during summer. She is also a member of YMCA and participate almost every year to YMCA conventions and training sessions. (I think it was Emily who congratulated Cedric for having such an uncle ready to volunteer in hard work)
Note 2: Hala, the chief program coordinator, works on contract with the ministry of social affairs. When she saw me she said: "I have seen that face". It turned out that she was studying computer engineering at LAU Byblos during the period I was teaching courses in Industrial Engineering. She has a friend of a few Industrial engineers whom took a few courses with me.

Arsenal Announce Plans to Sack 55 Staff Stating Covid-19's Impact on Revenues
5 August 2020, 11:42 am ·2-min read
Less than a week after winning the FA Cup to secure their place in next season's Europa League and as they negotiate a multi-million pound contract extension with striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Arsenal have announced plans to layoff 55 staff.
The club said on Wednesday that the cuts were the result of the financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The announcement sparked an immediate social media backlash from fans contrasting the huge sums involved with keeping key players to the lost jobs of staff at the north London outfit.
"Revenue from broadcasters, matchday and commercial activities have all been hit severely and these impacts will continue into at least the forthcoming 2020/21 season." the club said in a statement.

The club said they had done all they could to reduce costs, including players, senior staff and executive team members taking voluntary pay cuts, adding "but it is now clear that we must reduce our costs further to ensure we are operating in a sustainable and responsible way.
"We do not make these proposals lightly and have looked at every aspect of the club and our expenditure before reaching this point. We have also received significant financial support from our owners, Kroenke, Sports & Entertainment in terms of refinancing our stadium debt.
"These steps have all reduced the impact of the pandemic on the club and have helped us continue to maintain investment in the team. This will continue to be a key priority."

Arsenal finished eighth in the Premier League but their record 14th FA Cup triumph last Saturday ensured another year of European football and the possibility of earning up to 40 million pounds ($52.58 million) in the Europa League.
Fans have already been incensed by the fact that the club pay former Germany international Mesut Ozil, who has not played since before lockdown, around 350,000 pounds a week, with reference to his salary a common theme in hundreds of posts from disgruntled supporters on Wednesday.
Arsenal are also bidding to lure Chelsea forward Willian to the club, also on a huge weekly wage, while local media reports this week say they are offering striker Aubameyang a 300,000 pounds-a-week deal to extend his contract.
The wealth of the club's multi-billionaire American owner Stan Kroenke has risen by around 300 million pounds this year, according to a report written and compiled by the United States-based Institute for Policy Studies, another fact not lost on fans voicing their frustration.

Q: Why does the constant in a wave's function temporal part is set to 1? Starting from the Schrödinger equation:
$$i\hbar \frac{\partial }{\partial t}\psi(x,t)=\left(-\frac{\hbar}{2m}\frac{\partial^2 }{\partial x^2}+\hat{V}\right)\psi(x,t)$$
If we assume a solution of the form $\psi(x,t)=\phi(x)\xi(t)$ (separation of variables) we end up with (after dividing both sides by $\phi(x)\xi(t)$):
$$i\hbar \frac{\xi(t)'}{\xi(t)}=-\frac{\hbar}{2m}\frac{\partial^2 \phi(x)}{\partial x^2}+\hat{V}(\mathbb{I})$$
where «$\mathbb{I}$» is what I assumed to be the identity function. So on one side we have something that depends on time, in the other we have something that depends only on position; the only way two functions that depend on different variables could possibly be the same is if they are both a constant:
$$i\hbar \frac{\xi(t)'}{\xi(t)}= C = -\frac{\hbar}{2m}\frac{\partial^2 \phi(x)}{\partial x^2}+\hat{V}(\mathbb{I})$$
Solving the first member gives us:
$$ln|\xi(t)|=-i\frac{C}{\hbar}t+A \Leftrightarrow \xi(t)=Be^{-i\frac{C}{\hbar}t}\\ {(B=\pm e^{A}, \text{because of the absolute value; anyway B is a random constant})}$$
So why is the constant B set to 1? Is there any other reasonable explanation besides the "if you put it on the Schrödinger equation it works"?

A little lesson on how the legendary farmer, Sepp Holzer, builds abundant ponds. Ponds that produce food and income.
How the Chinese wheelbarrow and paved paths "saved" China's economy after its infrastructure collapsed. It's also a neat bit of technology.
Plans for a DiY aquaculture system that allows you to grow lots of algae at home, and some ideas for what you can use that algae for.
Request: If you know someone who should be reading this letter, please share it with them. Or if you are working on something that seems to match what we do, share it with us.
Sepp Holzer, the legendary Austrian farmer, has a saying, "water is life." He believes, strongly, that water management is central to farming and if you don't actively entice water to spread itself around and stay for a while, you are missing out on a big part of farming.
One of the ways he entices water to stick around is by building lots of ponds.
However, the way Sepp builds them, these are much more than simple ponds. They are abundant ponds. Ponds that produce plentiful amounts of food, year round and improve the surrounding ecosystem. They also provide him with a substantial amount of income.
Site your pond where nature wants it. It will save you lots of effort in the long run. Study the topography. Analyze the soil. Look for natural wet spots. Get professional help if you need it. If you do this, there is much less likelihood that the pond will leak or slide.
Don't try to force the pond into a specific shape. Let the topography dictate it. Make sure it includes deep (more than 3 meters) and shallow ends. The shallow end has warmer water and can be used as an entry point for swimming and as a place to grow aquatic plants. The deeper end balances the temperature of the pond and provides fish a place to and/or hibernate over the winter. Make sure the drop off between shallow and deep is steep (it's a barrier to invasive plant growth and will prevent the pond from being overrun).
Build the walls of the pond by dumping the soil you dig up in tall piles. You'll find that the fine material you want for the wall piles nicely while the larger material will roll away. Pack these piles down tightly with an excavator. Add islands if you find them useful or aesthetically pleasing.
Once you happy with the pond, seal it. Don't use a pond liner. That makes your pond brittle. Instead put some water into the hole and let it rise to 30-40 cm. At that point, Sepp inserts the excavator bucket about half a meter to a meter (depending on need) into the bottom soil and vibrates it. This seals the bottom in a way that allows plants to grow freely.
Finally, for long-term flexibility, insert a standpipe drain at the lowest point in the pond (assuming the pond is situated in a way that allows you do drain it from the lowest point). The standpipe drain looks like the letter L, with the lower portion going through the wall of the pond at the lowest point and the top at the water's surface. If the vertical portion is added in segments, you can easily set the water level where you want it, or periodically drain it to rapidly harvest fish and plants. A good safety tip is to insert and overflow valve for torrential downpours at the top of the pond.
Banks and shallow areas can be modified with stumps and large rocks to improve aesthetics and pond performance. Rocks are particularly good are increasing water temperatures, so use them liberally if you want to raise warm water plant and fish species.
What happens when the money and political will required to maintain an extensive road network evaporates?
People improvise. How? The adapt by building new methods and new technology.
Here's a great example (thanks to Kris De Decker) of that. Around 300 AD, the Chinese empire supported 25,000 miles of roads, which is about half of what the Romans built. Like the Roman roads, these Chinese roads fell apart rapidly, after the finances required to maintain them evaporated.
To compensate, communities and enterprising individuals began to build narrow, more easily maintained paved paths. However, these paths were too narrow for anything but foot traffic to navigate. Again, innovation bloomed and the Chinese wheelbarrow was born (it started as a military innovation that allowed rapid troop movement and served as a lager for infantry).
The Chinese wheelbarrow, unlike the western wheelbarrow, acts like a pack animal. It carries all of the weight put upon its large central wheel and axle (in contrast to the lever of the western wheelbarrow). The person pushing it is merely directing its course and providing the force to propel it forward. This configuration allows the wheelbarrow to gain stability with speed.
The result? A wheelbarrow that can navigate narrow paths with ease while carrying up to 400 k of cargo at a running pace. Essentially it's the perfect low-cost, high-speed method of getting product from river transports to inland destinations given rudimentary infrastructure.
If you like this topic, there's lot more about this wonderful bit of technology in Kris' article. Please give it a read.
It's used in lots of Asian (Chinese primarily) cuisine. It's also VERY good for you (omega 3/6 fatty acids).
There may be a way to turn into a high quality fuel in the future. That's still in motion.
It can be used for "green" compost material and as a fertilizer.
The most innovation use of algae I've seen is its ability to extract nitrogen and phosphates from water contaminated by agricultural runoff, and become a high-end slow release organic fertilizer. I wonder how it would work with grey/black water from domestic sources?
So, if you are interested in experimenting with algae production, here's a design for a DiY Algae Reactor from Jared at InventGeek.
Simple wood frame and tubing (cast and extruded acrylic tubing). The completed tubes are dipped in "plastic dip" sealant (make sure none of the sealant leaks into the tubes).
Here are the low-cost air pumps used to keep the water in the tubes oxygenated.
Jared's completed reactor looks like this. It can be tilted off the vertical to get sunlight.
If you know of any useful way to grow or use algae (other than as a food supplement or composting material) today, let me know.


Practical, comfortable and flattering—said nobody, ever, about an exposed midriff. And yet, with a dedicated category page on the website of every high-street retailer, the crop top's popularity shows no sign of diminishing—proving that not all '80s trends deserve to be forgotten. Paired with high-waisted skirts and trousers, the contemporary version bares, crucially, only a small flash of flesh—above the belly button but below the ribs. Reinvented in a rainbow of colours and cuts, it's made for some rather eclectic styling options too.
The undisputed queen of the ab-baring trend, Emily Ratajkowski was an early devotee of the crop top: the skin-tight, long-sleeved number she wore in 2013's Blurred Lines video arguably played a role in her meteoric rise. Since then, the California actor has been donning crop tops in every style, from summery bralettes and sporty '90s-style tank tops to chic knotted shirts with a '50s flare. She's even dabbled in that classic early Noughties combo, the micro grey sweatshirt paired with low-waisted baggy trousers.
The Hadid sisters are avid fans of the trend too, mastering its styling to suit a variety of occasions. See Bella's '90s-inspired ribbed micro T-shirt by Australian brand VDM The Label, paired with boyfriend Levi's and white All Stars for a laid-back coffee run in sunny Miami. Gigi's take, earlier this year, was the epitome of Parisian chic: a white cropped tee worn with a classic check blazer and high-waisted skinny jeans. Crop tops have taken to the red carpet too, thanks to high-end brands including Chanel; see Joan Smalls, Liu Wen and Suki Waterhouse. If you have yet to embrace the trend, look no further: our crop top edit offers navel-gazing inspiration for every occasion.


Recently, I took a CareerFoundry's UI Design Course, an online school for UX/UI Design, Web & Mobile Development. Technically, this course is broken up into 6 achievements and at the end of nearly every achievement, we need to submit a student project. Reason why I enrolled in this course is mainly because I'm interested to learn much deeper of the topic and also – as much as I love to learn on my own (independently)/from current work – just thought it would be more beneficial to have a more structured course as a support.
Below my first project. The objective is to recreate the UI for a travel app from scratch (in Sketch app) and prepare the final app for handoff and development in InVision.


This fully automated production sequence starts when the cast logs arrive on the log laydown table.Next, they travel over an accumulator to the inspection station, where they are inspected visually for surface defects and tested ultrasonically (UT) for internal cracks and inclusions. The furnace entry accumulator stores the billets between the inspection section and the continuous homogenizing furnace. To reduce noise and avoid surface damage, the logs are lifted and lowered during transfer rather than rolled. Incidentally, this applies throughout the billet production plant.
The log passes through the continuous homogenizing furnace and cooling station without any operator intervention.
A new generation of log supports with special (patented) inlays designed for the log transport system of the furnace. This largely eliminates surface defects.
A shuttle car replaces earlier rolling tables to remove logs from the furnace. That means no more rolling and impacts!
More intense hot gas convection and modified air guide channels accelerate the heat transfer rate onto the logs. We even achieved this without increasing the number of ventilators.
HE always prefers a limited number of high-quality, powerful ventilators rather than a "forest of ventilators" on top of the furnace. The new design directly results in overheat temperatures in the heating zone of max. 5 to 10°K above the set homogenizing temperature.
The higher furnace production rate requires more measuring points, even more accurate temperature control, and refined data processing.
To meet these demands, we improved direct temperature measurement with additional measuring points for higher accuracy.
It's vital to detect changes to the heating regime at an early stage. Our trend analysis software is an effective tool for this purpose. It makes even tighter quality control possible.
All this means you can change log diameters and homogenizing temperatures extremely reliably and flexibly.
