INTERVIEW: Totally mega
In 2016, global consulting firm PWC forecast the emergence of five global 'megatrends' in the next two decades. Stephen Anderson, its Middle East clients and markets leader, talks about their impact today with Romil Patel. Since the turn of the century, the Middle East has developed megacities on a vast scale, cementing its position as an international financial, business and tourist hub. Consequently, regional and global trends have combined and evolved at a staggering pace, bringing both significant growth and challenges. The megatrends identified by consultancy PwC in a 2016 report included demographic and social change, a shift in economic power from West to East, rapid urbanisation, climate change, resource scarcity and technological breakthroughs. These were summed up in the acronym ADAPT: asymmetry, disruption, age, populism and trust. While global wealth grew by an estimated 66% between 1995 and 2014, according to a World Bank report, a growing economic disparity exists. In fact, 42 people own the same amount of wealth as the bottom 3.7 billion people combined, a study by Oxfam revealed in January this year. To put asymmetry into perspective, you would have to go back to the time of the moguls in India to find the same levels of wealth concentration, PwC said in 2017. In addition to this, 60% of the national population of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are under 30; youth unemployment in the MENA region is among the highest in the world, at 28%; and populism and nationalism are growing globally as people lose faith in trust in institutions. Taken together, these megatrends present significant challenges and opportunities for a region that depends heavily on oil – a source of revenue that can no longer be relied upon entirely. Powerhouse
"If you look at megatrends through a Middle East lens, you see all of those things, but on steroids," says Stephen Anderson, PwC's Middle East clients and markets leader. "We're at the centre of those savvy trade flows between South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America – we're right in the middle of that shifting power from West to East." In addition, the MENA region has been identified as a "hotspot of unsustainable water use", and its consumption is forecast to grow by a third by 2030. The urban population is set to increase by 1,500 people a day for the next 35 years, meaning cities need to grow accordingly, and technology is booming. Young Saudis are particularly active on Twitter, reflecting a huge interest in technology – yet e-commerce accounts for just 2% of retail sales, compared to 15% in developed markets. Over the past two years, Anderson has been in conversation with regional governments and working with investors, enabling him to track key changes. So, what are they? Welcome to the future
"They're not 20-year trends, they're all happening now," says Anderson. "They are manifesting themselves now and fund managers need absolutely need to take these into account as they're investing today." As well as the usual considerations (ticket size, sectors, geographical spread and so on), investors need to ask themselves whether a particular investment is viable, given that the megatrends are in place today. Take growing wealth inequality, for example. PwC's latest update on megatrends showed that more than 13 million Saudis – the squeezed middle class, in other words – applied for support from the Citizen Account benefits scheme. "In retail, we're seeing value discounts is doing very well, we're seeing certain luxury brands doing quite well too, but the entities in the middle – your high street brands, etc – are doing very badly. So, your first thing is looking at how I play in that asymmetry," says Anderson. This leads to investor questions around disruption, particularly from a technology standpoint. Before investing in a company, investors need to ask, for example, whether the industry can become obsolete and if the business model can easily be replicated. Youth boom
Age is the next critical filter, as it is partially dictating the pace of transformation. "If I'm looking at Middle East investments, I've got a booming youth bulge coming through. So, to what extent are my products and services relevant to that particular demographic? At a relatively small level, I've also got a growing ageing population," says Anderson. There will have been a significant shift in the age pyramid by 2050, with elderly nationals making up 20% of the GCC population, as opposed to 2% today, the report shows. The challenge and opportunities then will be in finding sustainable ways to handle pensions and address healthcare issues in the Middle East and North Africa. The region already has more than 39 million people with diabetes – a figure that is projected to rise to 67 million by 2045, according to the International Diabetes Federation. "That's storing up huge challenges," says Anderson. "The whole saving for the next generation, pensions, healthcare, health insurance, all of those things, given they are effectively brand new markets." When fund managers weigh up their allocations, megatrends such as the convergence of industries add a whole new dimension to the decision-making process. "You'll find banks and telcos competing all around these trends," says Anderson. What is clear is that these megatrends play a role in both the immediate and longer-term investment horizons of investors. If the balance of GDP in the world shifts further east, it is highly likely that investment will follow, and that the wealth will go on rising as populations grow. ©2018 funds global mena

This book was written with the purpose of analyzing the challenges faced by the post-apartheid government in South Africa with regard to reform of higher education. It covers the apartheid context of higher education, resistance to the system and its ultimate demise, democratic processes in post-apartheid reform agenda and how this agenda was emptied of its radical content as a result of global and local pressures. Highlighted are key constraints in the reform process, including the compromise pact agreed upon between the apartheid government and the ruling African National Congress, the rapidly globalizing environment underpinned by neoliberal principles within which South Africa's transition took place, shifts in macro-economic policies of government towards neo-liberal policy, the inheritance of the bureaucracy and the inexperience of new government officials. These are presented in a narrative style that combines the author's experience, the voices of key players involved and important data from a range of documentary sources. This is the first single authored book in post-apartheid South African that has systematically looked at higher education reform.


Currently my 5x5 bench press is stuck at 40kg flat.
I started from 20kg 2 months ago, so this is good progress I guess.
Anyhow, I want to improve to 60kg sometime soon.
How long will it generally take, and what is a routine for maximizing bench press?
I bench 2x a week, once with 5x5 and once 4x8, I am adding flat dumbbell presses to each routine again 3x10 both days.
Yup, I could barely bench the bar. I began with benching the bar and after 5 reps I couldn't do more.
So I have double my lift already, but it is still very low.
How old are you and how much do you weigh and are you a female or male?
Currently I am 17 and I am a male. I weigh 155 lbs and 6'0" but at 25% body fat [I am very skinny fat, 34 inch waist].
I have a feeling that alot of people look straight towards solely the lack-of-muscle part of having a weak lift.
On the other hand, when i see people struggle with improving a lift, mostly when it is considered "low'ish" weight, then the form they have in the movement is often very very awkward.
Obviously, to improve your bench, you need to train and eat, but i would put my money on claiming, that for you to go from 40 to 60kg in the shortest amount of time, you need to become more technically effective in the movement. This means you should probably take learning proper technique very seriously. It'll help you push more weight, have steadier/more predictable gains, and reduce risk of injury.
My bench went from 60 for reps to 75 in 5 months. And my 1 rep max is 100.

Djokovic Facing Deportation After Australia Cancels Visa
Australia said on Thursday that it will deport tennis world number one Novak Djokovic, claiming the vaccine-skeptic Serb could not fulfill severe pandemic admission conditions.
Djokovic was unable to provide proof of double vaccination or a medical exemption when he arrived in Australia to defend his Australian Open title, conservative Prime Minister Scott Morrison claimed.
"No one is above these rules," the PM said.
"Our strong border policies have been critical to Australia having one of the lowest death rates in the world from COVID, we are continuing to be vigilant."
The 34-year-old has previously declined to disclose his vaccination status publicly but has expressed aversion to getting vaccinated. He was at least once infected with Covid.
Despite Australia's strict Covid and vaccination regulations, he went to Melbourne, claiming on social media that he had been granted an exemption to compete in the Australian Open, which starts on January 17.
All competitors in the Grand Slam's first event in 2022 must be vaccinated against Covid-19 or have a medical exemption.

Tamasin Knight's first book 'Beyond Belief' explores ways of helping people who have unusual beliefs. These are beliefs that may be called delusions, obsessions, or another kind of psychopathology. Extremely helpful to service users, workers and as the inspiration for a new self help group.


This architect's drawing shows the exterior of 'The Permanent,' a performing arts center envisioned at Willits Town Center.
The group proposing a performing arts center at Willits sailed through the first of two reviews before the Basalt Town Council on Tuesday night.
The board voted 6-0 to grant sketch plan approval for the plan proposed by The Arts Center at Willits, or TACAW. The group proposed a 19,000-square-foot building on the southwestern section of Willits Town Center, with the possibility of a 10,000-square-foot basement.
It would feature a large theater with seating for around 420 and total capacity of 600 with standing room; a smaller theater with total capacity for 200; a commercial kitchen; a lobby/lounge, offices and storage; and outdoor spaces.
The goal would be to host about 150 events per year, according to Ryan Honey, TACAW's executive director. He said operations at a temporary arts center, named The Temporary, over the past 10 months has reinforced the need for a larger facility capable of handling a broader diversity of events. The temporary has hosted 125 events and attracted roughly 15,000 paying patrons in addition to hundreds more who attended free events. New audiences are constantly being lured as word spread of the venue, he said.
The Basalt town government has owned the site, right off Willits Lane, since Willits Town Center was approved in 2001. The town would grant a long-term lease at a favorable rate. Affordable-housing mitigation would be waived, as it was for the Roaring Fork Conservancy's River Center, which is being completed west of downtown, according to town planner Susan Philp. Parking would be on street in Willits.
The arts center would be constructed with private donations and grants. An existing real estate transfer assessment would produce funds to help with operations.
The council approved the first step of review, called sketch plan, with little discussion.
"The only thing that hits me in the face is the parking thing," Mayor Jacque Whitsitt said. She said she wants to make sure Willits Lane and residential areas aren't impacted.
Councilman Bill Infante said the facility enriches the town.
"Basalt deserves to be proud of what you've done so far," he said.
The council will dig into technical issues in the second and final round of approval.
TACAW's contract with the town required the organization to acquire sketch plan approval by July 1 and a building permit by June 1, 2020.
Michael Lipkin, the original developer of Willits Town Center and a member of TACAW's board of directors, said the group is eager to pursue the vision that was first discussed about 20 years ago.
"This has been incubating for quite awhile," he said.


/ Polidicks / Trump Invited ..
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-19/trump-invited-putin-to-washington-for-fall-summit-sanders-says President Donald Trump invited Russian leader Vladimir Putin to Washington for a summit in the fall. "In Helsinki, @POTUS agreed to ongoing working level dialogue between the two security council staffs," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a tweet Thursday. "President Trump asked @AmbJohnBolton to invite President Putin to Washington in the fall and those discussions are already underway." Sanders announced the invitation less than an hour after the Republican-led Senate effectively rebuked President Donald Trump for considering Russia's request to question U.S. officials, giving voice to growing unease over the president's relationship with Putin following their summit in Helsinki on Monday.
Really, if they do this they'll be the biggest protest in American history around the building they're in.

Remember hotline miami 2? This is your time to roleplay.
Well, I mean, he practically owns it so I'm betting Putin can saunter in whenever he pleases. Trump or no Trump.

Yeah is he just squeezing Trump extra hard recently for a laugh because he knows the investigation heating up?


We worked on behalf of Hinchingbrooke Hospital to revitalise the main 'street' corridors and improve the patient and visitor experience.
The works involved new finishes and ceilings to lift the corridors and provide a space more in keeping with a modern hospital.
Contrasting floor detailing at corridor junctions provided visual signposting, and a full suite of new wayfinding signage completed the project.


Kenetech Windpower is now building its first wind farm in Europe. As many as 70 of its variable speed turbines are being installed in Holland this year. Kenetech is also trying to find European manufacturers for blades.
The first pile for the first wind turbine of Kenetech's first north European wind farm was driven into the heavy clay of north Holland in the last week of January. By October this year, 70 of the American variable speed turbines, last month re-named the 33 KVS, will be producing electricity for local utility, EDON. But even before the first machines at Eemshaven, in the province of Groningen, are in place, the California company is planning to extend the project by another 24 turbines. Bob Jans, Kenetech's Dutch representative, says subsidies for the expansion have already been applied for -- and he is optimistic about the outcome. "Although we do not have all the permits yet, we are further than we were last year when we applied for the 70 turbines now being built," he says.
Kenetech met the 1994 conditions for receiving subsidies in the nick of time, when it signed the final leasing contracts with private land owners in the very last hours of the year. "It was a complicated process," says Jans. "Not only did we have to deal with a lot of different land owners, but on top of that a procedure of reallocation of land is going on the area. So we had to deal with possible future owners and neighbours as well." Construction work has now started on the polder portion of the site, but work on the dike cannot start until May. No site works are allowed on dikes in Holland during the bad weather season. The path ahead now looks clear, says Jans. There has been more discussion about the location of turbines in the harbour area, but these problems are solved.
The 33KVS machines in Holland will not now be built using the "Kenetower" tubular-sleeve design, as earlier announced. Instead a concrete tower, based on a concept from the German firm Pfleiderer, is being supplied by Dutch company Dirk Verstoep. Jans adds that while blades for the Eemshaven project will be made in the US, Kenetech is in the process of finding a European company to make blades to Kenetech specifications. Negotiations are proceeding with several potential suppliers.

So yesterday I finally properly used my mft/3 with my new ts55 all plugged into a CTL26 of course.
But I had loads of dust and now have to clean up my pristine workshop and am wondering - I must be doing something weird cos you all can't be wrong about how great the dust collection is!
I was cutting to length some pine 40mm depth (below the track) by about 90mm. I was cutting square blocks from a strip. I was using the splinter stop set to touch the top of the wood. But at the end of every cut, there was a huge plume of dust (see pic) that has absolutely trashed the place - and really certainly not what I would call even vaguely approaching dust-free. My table saw is cleaner and I'm wondering why I've spent all the cash to get a cleaner workshop - when it will be as bad as ever!
Am I doing something wrong? This can't be right can it?
I have ordered the side cover plate ABSA-TS 55 part 491750 as its listed to help dust collection - will it?!
Re: Oh, I'm so disappointed - ts55 and dust :'( Advice?
you will get some dust in that situation, especially at the end of the cut. try doing some long cuts on some sheet material.
Perfectly normal. The side plate helps a bit. I usually place scrap pieces of wood to surround the entry and exit cuts to block the dust. It also helps support the rail.
I get dust at the end of a TS55 cut. I set up a "blocker" at the back of the cut. Works pretty well.
That's worse than finding out the bloomin' tooth fairy isn't real.
I'll give the wood block a go.
I have three different plunge saws from different brands, and a few extractors, and in any combination I've used, I'm always happy, even with a small cordless extractor?
The thickness of stock being cut, will make a difference obviously, as you're removing more material, and the rail is further from the bench top.
I know one thing, they make a heck of a lot more dust without extraction!
Something to keep in mind is that the dust extraction is very good as long as you keep the outside edge of the blade encapsulated. Either by the piece you are cutting, by the saw housing, scrap stock or foam boards under, after or before the cut. But there may be times where there isn't much you can do...such as trimming 1mm off the edge of a cabinet door.
Kriss from Toolify made an attachment to improve dust collection when making edge cuts: .
It looks like a fair amount of work to make, but it does look like the dust collection is much improved.
The stop block at the end will help a lot.
After the first cut, after there is a kerf in the stop block, some dust will shoot up that kerf and escape. To minimize dust put a piece of tape over the kerf in the stop block.
If replacing the tape is too tedious you can rig up a piece of cardboard to the front of the saw (or maybe something that slides on the guide rail over the stop block) to cover the kerf.
Finally, once the cut is complete, keep the saw running a moment longer so the vac can inhale more of the fine dust.
That's one of my problems with the Festool extractors - a lack of 'run on'. Most of the other major brands have 5 - 10 seconds of extraction after the tool has stopped.
While there is some sawdust that escapes at the end of every cut, it isn't huge amounts. I've found that there is no tool/dust collector on the market which catches 100% of the sawdust from the work we do. That is why I have an air cleaner mounted in my shop. It may circulate some dust in the air a bit longer but, between the dust collector, CT, and air cleaner, I don't have much dust anywhere. If it's bothersome, I just clean it up off the floor after I'm done.
The Festool tools and dust extractors collect more dust and chips than any combination I've used, but they don't collect it all.
It isn't commonly discussed, why, I don't know. It's the same with the deficiencies with the MFT3. You have to dig to find them being discussed. Once you bring it up people are generally like "ya, I have that problem". If you're coming from a circular saw with no dust collection the TS55 will blow your mind but if you're used to a cabinet saw with overarm dust guard you're going to be dissapointed.
As for the track saw, I tried all the tricks, but nothing is going to get it running as dust free as a table saw with cabinet and overarm dust control. It got to the point were I stopped breaking down sheet goods in my shop because the dust was too crazy. I keep my area suuuuper clean because I have a gym and machinist tools in the same area. I also run 2 Jet air cleaners on medium all the time and then on high for 2 hours when I leave.
I ended up selling my TS55 and buying a cordless Makita. It's a better saw in my opinion and being cordless I just grab the tool and track and head outside. Very fast, very convenient, no dust in my shop.
If you're keeping the TS55 and the MFT you'll want to set up "backing block" so that the dust will only escape through the kerf, not shoot out everywhere like a shotgun blast.
Cover the square hole on the blade cover with masking tape (the hole where you access the blade change). This will help a little with extraction.
You should also make a few cuts without the dust collection attached to compare that to when you are using the dust extraction. It's usually a big difference. And as others have already said, having a sacrificial surface below the material helps a lot.
I keep my area suuuuper clean because I have a gym and machinist tools in the same area.
Ha - ditto! I get that it does a brilliant job and its hard to overcome physics.
Will try the tips you've all sent.
I've found where the dust extraction suffers is when cutting of thin edges off of stock, but otherwise, I'm happy with mine which is a TS75 though.
In this situation just hang a stiff pice of cardboard (like a cereal box side) off the saw with a couple of pieces of tape. Works best if it hang a couple of inches below the rail, and a bit forward of the saw.

Netanyahu, Putin to meet as Russia condemns annexation plan
Meeting comes as Moscow warns pre-election pledge could lead to a 'sharp escalation of tensions in the region'.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to meet on Thursday to discuss regional issues [Alexander Zemlianichenko/Reuters]
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Russian coastal city of Sochi for talks on Thursday after Moscow condemned the Israeli leader's pledge to annex parts of the occupied West Bank.
Russia's foreign ministry warned on Wednesday it was concerned over the Israeli leader's plan, saying its implementation could lead to a "sharp escalation of tensions in the region [and] undermine hopes for the establishment of long-awaited peace between Israel and its Arab neighbours".
Moscow pointed out that Netanyahu's pre-election pledge drew a "sharp negative reaction" in the Arab world and reiterated its call for direct talks between Israel and Palestinians.
Battling to win re-election in September 17 polls, Netanyahu said on Tuesday evening that Israel would "apply Israeli sovereignty to the Jordan Valley and the northern Dead Sea immediately" if he secured a fifth term, drawing firm condemnation from the Palestinians, Arab states, the United Nations and the European Union.
Netanyahu is slated to meet Putin on Thursday at 13:00 GMT as he fights to continue his reign as the country's longest-serving prime minister after an inconclusive vote in April.
"The leaders will discuss regional issues including the situation in Syria, with an emphasis on tightening the military coordination mechanisms," Netanyahu's office said on Wednesday.
Netanyahu is also expected to meet Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.
The Israeli prime minister had also met Putin in Moscow in the run-up to Israel's April 9 election, where they discussed "events in Syria", including the "special coordination between our militaries" according to Netanyahu.
'Historic and unique opportunity'
During his televised announcement on Tuesday, Netanyahu also reaffirmed a pledge to annex all of the Jewish-only settlements Israel has established in the occupied West Bank.
Netanyahu said the long-awaited United States peace plan, the release of which has been delayed until after the election, represented "a historic and unique opportunity to apply our sovereignty over our settlements" in the occupied West Bank and "other places key to our security, our heritage and our future".
"I am asking you to give me the mandate to extend Israeli law to all the settlements. Out of respect for Trump, I am waiting to do this in maximum coordination with Trump," Netanyahu said.
"But there is one place where the diplomatic circumstances are ripe to do this very soon. If I am elected I commit to annex the Jordan Valley. It is our eastern border, our defence wall."
White House senior adviser Jared Kushner said in early May that he hoped Israel would take a hard look at President Donald Trump's upcoming proposal before "proceeding with any plan" to annex West Bank settlements.
The Jordan Valley and the northern Dead Sea make up 30 percent of the occupied West Bank. They lie in Area C, which means they are mostly under Israeli military and civil control.
Approximately 65,000 Palestinians and 11,000 Israelis residing in illegal settlements live in that area, according to Israeli human rights group B'Tselem. The main Palestinian city is Jericho, with about 28 villages and smaller Bedouin communities.
Netanyahu announces post-election plan to annex Jordan Valley (3:03)
The United Nations, however, warned that Netanyahu's plan would have "no international legal effect".
Moscow on Wednesday also reaffirmed its "consistent and unchanging" position on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the basis of two-state solution within the 1967 borders.
Some 650,000 Israeli Jews currently live in more than 100 settlements built since 1967, when Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The Palestinians see these territories - along with the Gaza Strip - as integral for the establishment of a future Palestinian state.
International law views both the West Bank and East Jerusalem as "occupied territories" and considers all Jewish settlement-building activity there illegal.

USS Tunny (SSN-682), a Sturgeon-class attack submarine, was the second submarine of the United States Navy to be named for the tunny, any of several oceanic fishes resembling the tuna.

Construction and commissioning
The contract forTunnys construction was awarded on 25 June 1968 and her keel was laid down on 22 May 1970 at Pascagoula, Mississippi, by the Ingalls Shipbuilding Division of Litton Industries. She was launched on 10 June 1972, sponsored by Mrs. Lola Aiken, and commissioned on 26 January 1974 at her home port, Charleston, South Carolina.

Service history

1974
Tunny remained at Charleston until March 1974, when she moved to Groton, Connecticut, for two weeks of in-port training at the submarine base. Between March and June 1974, she conducted shakedown training in the West Indies and along the United States East Coast. From June to August 1974, she conducted operations out of Charleston before heading north to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard at Kittery, Maine, where she began post-shakedown overhaul on 12 August 1974. She completed repairs on 5 October 1974 and headed back to Charleston, where she resumed normal training operations.

1975
In February 1975, Tunny began preparations for her first deployment to the Mediterranean Sea. She stood out of Charleston on 6 March 1975 and headed across the Atlantic Ocean. She came under operational control of the United States Sixth Fleet on 16 March 1975. During the first part of her tour in the Mediterranean, she operated with Task Force 60, conducting antisubmarine warfare exercises with the other ships of the task force. Following refit and upkeep alongside a submarine tender in June and early July 1975 at Santo Stefano, Sardinia, Italy, Tunny rejoined the Sixth Fleet as a unit of Task Force 69 and resumed antisubmarine warfare training. After participating in a major Sixth Fleet exercise late in July and early in August 1975, she departed the Mediterranean for home. She changed operational control from the Sixth Fleet to the United States Atlantic Fleet Submarine Force on 17 August 1975 and arrived in Charleston, concluding her deployment, on 29 August 1975. After a routine post-deployment standdown in September and repairs and alterations Charleston Naval Shipyard at Charleston in October and November, she resumed operations—mostly attack submarine training—out of Charleston on 20 November 1975.

1976
Attack submarine training along the South Carolina and Florida coasts occupied her time during January 1976. February 1976 brought inspections and examinations and, in March 1976, she participated in two special operations designed to help develop and evaluate submarine tactics. In May 1976, Tunny began preparations for her second tour of duty with the Sixth Fleet but did not embark upon that assignment for over two months. In the meantime, she conducted an exercise in naval mine warfare in June 1976. Finally, on 26 July 1976, she departed Charleston on her way to the Mediterranean. Following a visit to Lisbon, Portugal, she joined the Sixth Fleet on 11 August 1976. After a month of antisubmarine warfare training, highlighted by Exercise "National Week XXI", she put into Santo Stefano for a month of upkeep alongside submarine tender . In October 1976, she returned to sea for antisubmarine warfare training operations punctuated periodically with a visit to Naples, Italy, or upkeep at Santo Stefano. That routine continued until 11 December 1976, when she departed Santo Stefano to return to the United States. Arriving in Charleston on 22 December 1976, she commenced a combination of Christmas holiday leave and upkeep and a routine post-deployment standdown.

1977
January 1977 found Tunny undergoing an extensive upkeep following her Mediterranean deployment. She then resumed operations off the U.S. East Coast which extended through the spring and summer months. In mid-September 1977, she commenced a two-month period of repairs and alterations at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia, which was concluded in late November, followed by a short sea trial period. Following refresher training at the Submarine School at Naval Submarine Base New London at New London, Connecticut, Tunny returned to Charleston.

1978
Tunny spent January and part of February 1978 preparing for a North Atlantic Ocean deployment which commenced in late February and concluded in late April. Tunny made stops in Dunoon, Scotland and Portland, England.

In July 1978, Tunnys home port was changed to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. She transited the Panama Canal and briefly crossed the equator on her voyage to Pearl Harbor, where she arrived on 19 August 1978. Tunny was assigned to Submarine Squadron 1, and devoted the remainder of 1978 to operations in the Hawaiian Islands in preparation for a 1979 deployment to the Western Pacific.

1979–1997
Tunny departed for Western Pacific at the beginning of 1979. She visited various ports during the deployment, including Amphoe Sattahip in Thailand, and Orote Point in Guam. She also entered the Indian Ocean, where she visited the U.S. naval base at Diego Garcia in the British Indian Ocean Territory. She was a guest of the Royal Australian Navy when she visited , the administrative center of the Royal Australian Navy's main naval base on the west coast of Australia, located on Garden Island just off the coast of Western Australia near the city of Perth, and Tunnys crew participated in the ANZAC Day Parade in April 1979. Tunny completed her six-month deployment to the Western Pacific when she returned to Pearl Harbor in June 1979.

Decommissioning and disposal
Tunny was deactivated while still in commission on 1 October 1997, and was both decommissioned and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 13 March 1998. Her scrapping via the U.S. Navys Nuclear-Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program began on 1 October 1997 and was completed on 27 October 1998.

Money has become the important aspect of everybody's life. It is the most basic requirement of human before food, water and shelter. But the significance and pattern of using money has completely changed from earlier times to present time. In previous years, people used flat money that has been replaced by specie backed paper currency.
But now, electronically initiated debits and credits have become dominant and most important payment modes which helps in the creation of private money which competes with government-issued currencies. The electronic money or e- cash have benefitted the lives of many people.
The patterns of using money are discussed in several ways currently with the emergence of electronic commerce that includes digital cash, online banking, electronic checks and smartcards. This technology provides special security with the exchange of currency that uses biometrics technology.
This technology is used for finger print recognition. It comes in the category of smartcard or the credit card which we use for making money transactions. When an user uses this money pad, firstly they have to make an impression of fingers which are scanned and matched with hard disk from database server.
If the scanner finger print will be matched with the user, then he/she will be allowed to access the pads, lese it will not be accessible to the user. This digital technology helps in providing a special from of security that make ever-lasting transaction of the currency for generating and maintain e-cash for the future. This is exactly similar to floppy disk which introduces the security of e-cash transactions.
The future wallet of the people will hold money pad rather than cash in their pockets that contains financial information and digital cash. It will automatically updates with a satellite communication link by PDA. It is highly protective, secured and contains individual rights. For the protection and prevention of rights of each and every individual in a security system, they are allowed to feel free and use this technology.
Digital wallet is increasingly used to describe mobile phones especially smart phones that help to keep storage of individual credentials and utilization of wireless technologies like near field communication that carries financial transactions.

There is a tension in the household. She Who Must Be Obeyed likes boneless skinless chicken breasts because the are leaner and she likes white meat. I find they have little flavour and tend to become dry and rubbery when cooked. Apparently I am wrong and I was instructed to make some for dinner.
In order to make something I could enjoy too, I decided to marinate the chicken for moisture and flavour.
I processed it until it was smooth.
I put two boneless skinless chicken breast halves in a plastic bag and added the marinade mixture from the blender. I put it in the fridge for 3 hours, massaging the bag occasionally.
I preheated my gas barbecue to medium and cooked the chicken breast for about 16 minutes, turning and brushing occasionally with 25 ml (2 tbsp) lemon juice. Make sure the internal temperature is over 165 F.
The marinade gave some nice herb flavours to the chicken and helped give great grill marks. The lemon brushed over it gives just a hint of lemon tang without being overpowering. The chicken was still moist. I enjoyed this and She Who Must Be Obeyed really likes it. Although I would have preferred thighs or a breast with the skin and bones, I have to admit this was good. Don't tell She Who Must Be Obeyed.
Put all ingredients except the chicken and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth.
Put the chicken in a plastic bag and add the marinade. Put in the refrigerator for 3 hours, massaging occasionally.
Preheat a barbecue grill to medium.
Discard the marinade and cook the chicken for about 16 minutes to an internal temperature of over 165 F, turning and brushing occasionally with the lemon juice.
Awesome Dave, it looks so good. We were going to have breast of chicken !

Brief full of "gibberish" was actually written by client, but lawyer sanctioned with fees, double costs
By Karen Rubin & Tom Feher on December 20, 2019
Posted in Competence, How Not to Practice, Unrepresented parties
As widely reported in the news, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals last month harshly rebuked an Illinois lawyer for submitting a rambling 86-page appellate brief that the court said was "incoherent" and "gibberish." Quotes from the brief indeed made it appear deficient. (One section, said the court, consisted solely of the heading "GAMESMANSHIP" and the statement that "Defendants have been 'gaming' the system.")
But in the court's sanctions order issued Monday, requiring the lawyer to pay legal fees and double costs, a new detail became widely known — namely, the lawyer said that his client had written the brief, and with his permission used the lawyer's credentials to file the brief with the court.
Last month, in upholding summary judgment in favor of the defendant employer in the discrimination suit, the Seventh Circuit said there was no evidence to support the claims of the lawyer's client (the plaintiff) and the appeal was "utterly frivolous." The court went on to label the brief a "monstrosity."
The sanctioned lawyer's client had launched the case in the district court pro se, with a 386-paragraph complaint. After the employer moved for summary judgment, she filed a response that the appeals court called "woefully noncompliant" with the local rule governing summary judgment briefs. The court said that the response lacked the required sections, was a "disorganized … hard-to-decipher mess" and failed to cite appropriate evidence to oppose summary judgment.
On appeal, the formerly-pro se plaintiff was represented by the lawyer. The Seventh Circuit's November 7 ruling disposed of the client's substantive arguments and quickly turned to sanctions against the lawyer under Federal Appellate Rule 38, calling the appeal a "shameful waste of judicial resources." In an opinion that has been called a "vicious benchslapping," the court called out the brief for its legally and factually baseless assertions, "impenetrable arguments," and even being a "typographical nightmare."
"Most embarrassing" moments
At oral argument, the court noted in its November opinion, the lawyer had stated that he is a solo practitioner who "tries to get the help of … clients and whoever can provide help to [him]" and then "merge[s] that information."
The court found that statement to be cryptic. But in the lawyer's response to the court's show cause order on sanctions, it became clear what had happened: the client had written the brief herself.
The court said that the lawyer explained in his response "that he did not have time to write an appellate brief, review the district court's order, or examine the record." And he also "confessed that he allowed [the client] to submit an appellate brief that she prepared herself," authorizing her to use his name, electronic signature and filing credentials.
In his response, the lawyer further explained that he had been a longtime friend of the client and "reluctantly agreed to do her oral argument after she asked me several times." When the briefing deadline came due, he "did not have the time … to attempt to rewrite [the client's] brief and had to rely on the document that [the client] herself provided."
The lawyer said in his response that during the oral argument he had "suffered through the most embarrassing and stressful moments of my legal career and perhaps my life," and rued the tarnishing of his reputation after 32 years of practice. He apologized for his "grave errors of judgment."
In ordering the lawyer to pay attorney fees and double costs, the court noted his contrition, but said sanctions were merited based on the needless use of judicial resources and the burden and expense to the defendants. Defendants were ordered to submit their fee-and-cost statement in early January.
Reverse-ghostwriting?
If you're a litigator, you've certainly been up against briefing deadlines. And I'm guessing that most of us have been subject to the entreaties of friends or family members who want us to do work for them when we really don't have the time (or inclination, or know-how) to help.
These combined pressures can sometimes lead us to judgment errors. Many federal cases say that a lawyer shouldn't ghostwrite a brief for a client, while Model Rule 1.2(c) on limited scope representation and ABA Ethics Opinion 07-446 (May 5, 2007) (as well as some state ethics opinions) suggest that it can sometimes be permitted. (Here and here are some discussions on the issue.) But the opposite — letting a client submit her own work as yours, a kind of reverse ghostwriting — might be problematic. Model Rule 8.4(c) bars all forms of dishonesty, fraud, deceit and misrepresentation. Model Rule 3.3(a) bars making false statements of fact to a tribunal.
Letting someone sign your name to a pleading can obviously be risky, and if you do so without even knowing what's in the document, the chances of adverse outcome — a bench slap, sanctions or worse — are magnified. Be careful out there, and avoid the professional embarrassment that can come when you give in to a bad idea.
