A study of over 15,000 children by Demos says parenting style is one of the most important and statistically reliable influences on whether a child will drink responsibly in adolescence and adulthood - see Demos press release and blog, and coverage in the Telegraph and Huffington Post.
The findings appear to support the recent JRF report that emphasised the importance of parents in influencing teenager's drinking, and research reviews assessing parenting interventions.
Demos found that 'tough love' parenting, combining consistent warmth and discipline, was the most effective parenting style to prevent unhealthy relationships with alcohol right into the mid-thirties age range.
The report also found that high levels of parental warmth and attachment at an early age and strict discipline at the age of 16 are the best parenting styles to reduce the likelihood that a child will binge-drink in adolescence and adulthood. While 'tough love' was the best parenting style to ensure against children becoming binge drinkers, less effective parenting styles were 'authoritarian', 'laissez faire' and 'disengaged'.
Demos stresses that the lead role in how to deal with an entrenched binge culture needs to be taken by parents and government must support parents to do this. Without the active involvement of parents, policy to deal with binge-drinking will not have the reach or impact desired to combat the problem.
See further detail of the recommendations in the press release. The final Demos report is still to be released, but the the interim 'Under the Influence' is available.
In this initial developer-led trial in one county in Sweden, routine parent-school meetings encouraging commitment to take a strong stand against underage drinking had a remarkable impact on adolescent drunkenness.
Benefits fade after fine-tuning prevention to high risk personality traits Addressing the substance use promoting tendencies of the personality traits of London schoolchildren at particular risk of substance misuse led to persistently lower drink-related problems, but after a year drinking itself was not significantly affected.
Parent-child intervention prevents heavy drinking in Dutch teens In this Dutch study, promoting parental rule setting and classroom alcohol education together nearly halved the proportion of adolescents who later went to drink heavily. Rarely have such strong and sustained drinking prevention impacts been recorded from these types of interventions.
Preventing drinking and drug use among students in London This bulletin highlights three attempts to prevent substance use among London school or college students. The first two used the same system to adjust counselling to the personality of the student and had at least some short-term success, even when using school staff as counsellors. The third individualised the approach via motivational interviewing but without success.
Would the US tactic of telling college students how little the average student really drinks work with their hard-drinking British counterparts? This UK trial was not altogether convincing, but the US evidence is on balance positive.
Updated Local Alcohol Profiles for England (LAPE 2011) figures have been released, drawing media attention to areas with highest rates of harm and a continuing upwards national trend. Total alcohol-related admissions for England reached over one million in 2009/10; an increase of 879 alcohol-related admissions per day compared to five years ago.
The figures indicate that over the five years to 2009/10 there has been a 24.6% increase in the number of people being admitted to hospital due to alcohol specific conditions. However LAPE now includes data indicating there are more than six million people over 16 in England who do not drink alcohol. Patterns of abstention relate strongly to ethnicity as estimates range from 6.4% of adults in Mid Devon to 48.0% in London's Newham borough.
Half of all local authority areas saw increases in the level of alcohol-related admissions of over 5% in the last year - only 2.1% showed a decrease of over 5%.
Across England, there were 392,787 recorded crimes attributable to alcohol in 2010/11; equivalent to 7.6 crimes per 1,000 population.
"The scale of damage revealed by these profiles shows that alcohol is a problem for everyone in England. Even those families not directly affected by alcohol related health problems, violence or abuse still pay towards the billions in taxes for the policing, health services and social support required to tackle this national problem. Cheap alcohol is no longer a commodity that this country can afford."
The Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers (ALMR) issued a press release stating the figures continued to show the 'harmful impact of cheap supermarket alcohol', calling for tougher goverment action and responsibilty from big retailers. But writing to several newspapers, the Portman Group rejected the figures as inaccurate.
See coverage from The Telegraph, Guardian, BBC and Daily Mail.
'The report reveals the growing importance to alcohol companies of social networking sites (SNSs) like Facebook and video sharing sites such as YouTube as a means of promoting their products, and the inadequacies of online age verification pages aimed at preventing under 18s from accessing content intended for adults.
Alcohol Concern and Our Life are urging people to write to their MPs to support a private members bill to limit the exposure of children to alcohol marketing.
The Portman Group, the industry's social responsibility body, is to monitor and report on the industry's progress on the voluntary labelling pledge.
The pledge to provide responsible drinking information on 80 per cent of alcohol labels on UK shelves by 2013 was set out as part of the Government's controversial Responsibilty Deal earlier this year.
In a press release, the Portman Group said they would monitor and report publicly on the industry's progress towards the labelling goal. They are contacting all companies who signed up to the pledge asking them to re-affirm their commitments. A database summarising the pledges, companies and brands involved will be published at a later date.
The industry have attempted voluntary agreements to improve alcohol labelling in the past, but failed to make real progress. A 2010 independent report said just 15 per cent of drinks give consumers sufficient information as per the voluntary code, whereas an Alcohol Concern report Message on a Bottle put the figure at only 4% of the products reviewed.
See further reports in Marketing Week and the Morning Advertiser.
A Drinkaware poll found that between 50 to 60 per cent of adults "use a bad or stressful day as an excuse to consume up to four drinks on a typical evening at home." More women than men (73 per cent versus 26 per cent) said stress was the main reason they had a drink at home at the end of the day. 61% of women surveyed said they had two or more large glasses of wine on a typical night – more than double the recommended guidelines for women. See Drinkaware press release and a reports in the Telegraph and Express.
A Mintel report says younger drinkers see 'staying in as the new going out' as home drinking continues to grow in market share. Jonny Forsyth, senior drinks analyst at Mintel, said: "Younger drinkers are changing... the austerity of the recession forced them back indoors to make savings - post-recession, younger drinkers are taking the going out attitude into the home." Mintel said the home drinking market has grown 20% since 2006. Affordability remains the key reason, with 76% agreeing that "it is cheaper to drink at home". See Morning Advertiser (MA) report.
In other news, Alcohol Concern and Our Life are urging people to write to their MPs to support a private members bill to limit the exposure of children to alcohol marketing. The second reading is scheduled for Friday 9th September 2011 in the House of Commons.
An exploration of the illegal alcohol trade featured in this month's DDN magazine following the fatal explosion last month in Boston. A BBC report suggests HM Customs are evaluating a pilot scheme of raids that could go national. Welsh police have been 'alarmed' after 463 arrests were made for drug or drink driving in June.
Brewers are experimenting with the production of weaker beers following the announced duty cut for drinks less than 2.8% ABV, reports the Telegraph. Research by CAMRA also suggests pub goers wanted more choice of lower strength drinks.
Licensing reviews are up 19% but there has been a fall in the number revoked reports the MA. The survey found that in the 12 months to 1 April 2010, the 1,334 alcohol licences were reviewed, with 60% being instigated by a police representation, most commonly under the prevention crime and disorder licensing objective. The MA has published a report that claims an inconsistent approach to underage sales.
On-trade beer volumes fell 6% in the year to June 2011, with sales down 4.5% in Q2, according to new figures from the British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) - see here. The Treasury ruled out a cut in VAT for the hospitality industry, claiming the "fiscal challenge" is too great, the MA reports. Another MA article claims politicians have failed the pub trade.
Poundworld will soon be selling cheap alcohol the Daily Mail reports, writing high streets are 'set to be inundated with more cheap alcohol deals'.
Last year, Haringey Drug and Alcohol Action Team (DAAT) and HAGA decided to review local alcohol DES delivery to inform best practice guidance on how to deliver the alcohol DES. The review found, to give just a few examples, that 75% of practices were using incorrect screening questions, and that only 50% of practices were offering face-to-face Brief Advice. Crucially for practices, we also found that practices were losing money due to DES returns that did not reflect the work that they had done.
Following the Step-by-Step Guide which is based on our review findings and HAGA's years of experience in delivering IBA projects will help practices to maximise their income, whilst also offering better healthcare for patients. This guide updates and collates various guidance documents on the alcohol DES and Identification and Brief Advice (IBA) in primary care, so that you can get all the information you need in one place.
This guidance has been written by HAGA, Haringey's local alcohol service; commissioned by Haringey DAAT; and is supported by the Department of Health. The review on which we have based this guidance has been cited as an example of best practice in Intensive Support in Reducing Hospital Admissions (Currie 2010).
See here for further IBA resources and materials including the IBA e-learning module.
The latest Alcohol Alert from the Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS) has been released, it's cover story reviewing the controversial Responsibility Deal.
A feature on the recent headline news that alcohol admissions had exceeded 1 million per year for the first time looks the impact and cost to the NHS. Also included are reports on a new ambitious alcohol strategy in Liverpool which sets out to double the number of people able to access alcohol treatment.
The recent NICE alcohol clinical guidance is reported, as is the call for lower guidelines for alcohol consumption amongst older adults. Evidence around school based alcohol programmes is also assessed, as is the recent JRF findings that parents and families are key influences on young people's drinking.
For these and further reports see the full Alcohol Alert index here.
The Centre for Public Health based at Liverpool John Moores University are currently conducting a survey on alcohol use, advertising and public health campaigns.
The survey closes on 31st August 2011.
The North West Public Health Observatory (NWPHO) hosts the Local Alcohol Profiles for England which provide alcohol related harm data and indicators for areas across the country.
A BBC Panorama alcohol feature this week questioned the level of industry influence over Government policy whilst exploring the impact of alcohol misuse within hospitals. Scrutinising Government alcohol policy, Panorama revealed that industry representation on the Government and Partners Alcohol Working Group had recently increased from a few up to 7 out of the 16 members.
Panorama's 'Dying for a Drink' is available on iplayer until 14th August 2011. See coverage from the Independent, Guardian and Daily Telegraph.
The role of industry within the Coalition's alcohol policy has attracted ongoing attention, particularly since the withdrawal of key health groups from the alcohol Responsibility Deal.
A Department of Health spokesman said: "We are committed to challenging the assumption that the only way to change people's behaviour is through adding to rules and regulations." The spokesman added that the Coalition was keen to "work with the industry on voluntary agreements to get speedier results".
But Don Shenker, chief executive of Alcohol Concern, said "The government needs to decide if it really does want to get to grips with the significant levels of alcohol harm in the UK, or stick with the status quo of allowing the drinks industry to call the shots. It can't have it both ways."
A new national alcohol strategy is expected later in the year. See a recent Alcohol Policy UK guest comment on Alcohol policy: determinants, influence and the media.

After the completion of one of Mexico City's highest towers, the owner realized that one essential element was missing: light. The tower, nicknamed Titan due to its size and presence, had been carefully designed to stand out among the Financial District's daytime landscape but it was disappearing at night. It was both a unique opportunity and a complex challenge to combine subtlety, art, and functionality. With a design including more than 3,000 luminaires installed on the 50-story façade, we managed to create a work of art that highlights the tower's architecture while offering a personalized communication tool for the owner.
Inaugurated in 2016, this 768-foot tower is a landmark of Mexico City's Financial District. However, it did not include any exterior lighting until 2018. Our team was asked to come up with an alternative solution to the one presented by the architectural firm in charge of the project.
The goal for incorporating art into this project became a twofold strategy.
According to Richard Rogers, chairman of the tower's architectural firm Rogers Stirk Harbour Partners, "the facade draws on the heritage of Mexican architecture; the result is a reinterpretation of the distinctive texture of traditional 'celosia' screens". With the facade bearing such cultural importance in the design of the tower, our first goal was to honor this fine architecture through subtle lighting;
Our second goal was to turn the tower into a canvas for its owner to demonstrate commitment to specific causes, or to get involved with the city's cultural events through art. This could be accomplished through programmed lighting scenarios.
Finally, we wanted to establish the tower as a nighttime icon of Mexico City's Financial District skyline, transforming the tower into a visually stunning nighttime landmark for tourists visiting the city, while also catering mainly to residents.
Lighting design: the design highlights each detail of the mega-structures: lattices, mega-beams, main beams, and bracing. The main element of our design is the lattices' lighting, converting the sun-protective double skin into a canvas of over 2,500 4" linear luminaires with 15ºx30º optical system, each controllable by foot. The installation was performed over a 4-month period.
Canvas design: While the final design focuses on the details of the architecture, the combination of the control system with the location of luminaires is done in a way that is similar to a pixeled-screen, making the switch from traditional to dynamic lighting easy.
Programming: Although the lighting design aspect of the project was key, programming is really what allowed originality and imagination to flow. Over fifty lighting scenarios have been designed and delivered to accompany a calendar of cultural and corporate events defined by the owner.
As an example, the inaugural event was based on a 2-act show under the themes "Architecture" and "Mexican heritage". This 5-minute light show created for Mexico's Independence Day slowly revealed the details of the tower's architecture in its first phase, before depicting history through Mexican symbols.
From honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month, to announcing the start of a local marathon, the designer's proposal includes specific scenarios based on an annual calendar, which makes the tower an integral part of the city residents' lives.

Najib Mikati named new Prime Minister-designate of Lebanon
The billionaire businessman is now tasked with forming a reformist government for a possible third stint as Prime Minister of Lebanon.
On Monday, Najib Mikati, a billionaire businessman and former prime minister on two occasions, was elected as Lebanon's new prime minister-designate following requisite parliamentary consultations with Lebanese President Michel Aoun.
Mikati competed virtually unchallenged, receiving 72 votes, with former ambassador Nawaf Salam receiving just one vote. Forty-two MPs voted blank, and three MPs did not vote at all.
His appointment comes just 11 days after Saad al-Hariri resigned as prime minister-designate, following nine months of political deadlock and a dispute with President Aoun and his son-in-law MP Gebran Bassil.
"With the cooperation of the president, we will form a government according to the French initiative," Mikati told the press after his appointment, referring to a road map of economic and structural reforms French President Emmanuel Macron introduced to Lebanon in August 2020.
If Mikati succeeds in forming a government, it would be his third stint as Lebanon's prime minister. He was briefly caretaker prime minister for several months in April 2005, and then headed a full-fledged government in 2011 for three years.
Lebanon's economy continues to crumble, with half the population living below the poverty line and a devaluating local currency that has lost more than 90 percent of its value.

Hurricane season 2021: A near-miss and a reminder
Updated: Nov. 30, 2021, 6:13 p.m. | Published: Nov. 30, 2021, 6:00 a.m.
Category 4 Hurricane Ida devastated parts of southeast Louisiana when it made landfall with 150 mph winds on Aug. 29. Ida caused flooding and a few tornadoes in Alabama as well.
By Leigh Morgan
The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season is officially over.
There were 21 named storms this season, qualifying it as a busy one. The average number of storms in any given year is 14, according to NOAA.
Today marks the official last day of the 2021 hurricane season. In the Atlantic, there were 21 named storms, including 7 hurricanes and 4 major hurricanes. It was the 3rd most active season in terms of the number of named storms.https://t.co/oo2gwAqHSC pic.twitter.com/bSLBjZRwJx
— National Hurricane Center (@NWSNHC) November 30, 2021
In 2021 hurricane forecasters used up all the storm names for a second year in a row, with Tropical Storm Wanda rounding out the list. However, October and November were noticeably quiet.
And no one is complaining.
Of this year's 21 named storms, seven became hurricanes, which is right on average, and four of those (Grace, Ida, Larry and Sam) strengthened into major hurricanes, which are Category 3 or stronger storms. (The average number of major hurricanes is three.)
One of those major hurricanes, Category 4 Ida, devastated southeast Louisiana with top winds of 150 mph on Aug. 29, 2021. Ida killed at least 32 people along the Gulf Coast and then 53 in the Northeast after incredible flash flooding. Grace made landfall on Mexico's Gulf Coast on Aug. 21, and Sam and Larry thankfully stayed out at sea.
However, several other storms made landfall in the U.S.
The U.S. coastline was also struck by Tropical Storm Claudette (Louisiana), Tropical Storm Danny (South Carolina), Elsa (Florida), Tropical Storm Fred (Florida), Hurricane Henri (Rhode Island), Tropical Storm Mindy (Florida), and Hurricane Nicholas (Texas). While those certainly made an impact, they were much weaker systems.
Ida was close enough to Alabama that it put forecasters on edge, especially coming less than a year after Hurricane Sally, which made landfall on Sept. 16, 2020, at Gulf Shores. Sally was a strong Category 2 hurricane with top winds of 105 mph.
In 2020 Alabama also had to deal with the effects of Hurricane Zeta, a Category 3 storm that made landfall in Louisiana but quickly swept across south Alabama in late October, bringing widespread power outages and wind damage.
"Fortunately for Alabama, the direct impacts for Alabama were nowhere near what they were in 2020, but there were some impacts from a couple of storms, namely Claudette and Ida," said Jason Beaman, the warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Mobile.
"Fortunately, Ida was a close call but was far enough away that we did not experience the core impacts from the hurricane that Louisiana did. It's interesting: It's another active Gulf year. We had seven systems make landfall from the Gulf of Mexico, and that's including Mexico. But fortunately, locally, our impacts were not near what they were in 2020."
Both Ida and Claudette caused coastal flooding in Alabama, as well as beach erosion, high surf and rip currents. The two storms also brought bouts of heavy rain to parts of south Alabama.
Ida's outer bands also produced a few tornadoes.
Ida also served as a reminder that things could have been much worse -- the Alabama coastline has been luckier than many in the past few years, even with Sally in the mix.
"I don't want to take anything away from Sally. Sally was maybe not a major hurricane meteorologically, but it was a major hurricane impact for the area," Beaman said. "But having said that, these other hurricanes have shown that stronger winds are out there, a higher storm surge is out there and we just have to make sure we are in a constant state of readiness for these potential threats. We hope that they don't happen, but we need to be prepared for them to happen.
"I think that for coastal Alabama just the realization that we had a high-end Category 4 hurricane that made landfall just to our west that really devastated southeast Louisiana. Michael a few years prior was a Category 5 hurricane that just missed us to the east. A high-end Category 4 and a Category 5 very close to our region … I think it's a reminder that as strong and as bad as Sally was, it's not the worst-case reasonable scenario for our area. A higher-end hurricane is certainly possible, history shows us that, and it's just something we need to keep in mind with our preparations. We need to be prepared."
There were 21 named storms this season, which is above average.


Once upon a time there was an Italian family who had a magnificent garden built near their palace. But this is not the dreamy garden of fairytales. Bomarzo is a place where monstrous figures sculpted on volcanic rocks lie in wait. It is the nightmare setting of Manuel Mujica Lainez's most important novel that he also adapted into an opera libretto. The main character, Duke Pier Francesco Orsini, is a mentally and physically deformed person. In search of immortality, he drinks what he thinks is a magic potion but in fact, it is a poison which kills him. While he agonizes, Orsini remembers decisive and often traumatic moments of his life in a terrifying game of mirrors where the stone spectres are nothing but a reflection of his dark inner self. When Alberto Ginastera was commissioned to write an opera for the Opera Society of Washington, the composer was clear about using this story. He gave it a complex musical language and this inundates the perturbing scene. The Teatro Real presents Bomarzo for the first time in Spain, indisputably it is a reference point of Latin American music (and literature) of the 20th century.

As I mentioned before, there is no recoil force on plate 1 because the "electric bullet" has no mass.
Correct, the 'electric bullet' has no mass. But it has relativistic properties of mass like momentum and kinetic energy, which is dependent on the frequency of the "electric bullet."
The magnitude of such a 'bullet' fired from plate 1 would need to be large enough to have an effect on plate 2, right?
But that is only a minor problem. I mentioned before that all you might manage to produce is vibrations at best. If plates 1 and 2 are connected together, all forces if any, will cancel out and the plate assembly will simply vibrate. If they are not connected and you manage to move plate 2 with the force of an 'electric bullet,' again the forces if any, will cancel out at the mechanism supporting the plate assembly and that of the ship. Again, vibrations at best.

Plate 2 would not have a constant positive charge. It would only become charged as the electric pulse from plate 2 begins to hit it. When the back-end of the pulse reaches plate 2, plate 2 would then become uncharged.
So in effect, both plates would be pulsing, only the pulses from plate 2 would be delayed relative to plate 1.
Joeblow93132, Mar 27, 2002
ismu,
I don't think that there would be any force present until the pulse begins to hit the second plate.
Does the Biefeld-Brown Effect require a medium or can it work in a vacuum?
Q,
The electric bullet has no frequency. It is just a short burst of constant electric field.
Let's, for the sake of argument, assume that the electric pulse from plate 1 has some form of relativistic mass or inertia that would create a force as it is generated. You would have to take into consideration that the pulse is not unidirectional; it travels in all directions away from plate 1. Only the section of this pulse that reaches the second plate would be converted to force. As you can see, even if the electric field did have mass, since it travels away from plate 1 in ALL directions, the sum of the forces on plate 1 would be zero.
Now if the sum of the forces on plate 1 is equal to zero, and the force on plate 2 is greater than zero, you would have a propulsion device, not an electric vibrator.

ok, sounds like most of it would work, but I don't get how it would get up to the speed of light. Wouldn't the engine need increasing amounts of electricity to accelerate?

One word. Hertz.
Joeblow, I think we've reached an impasse. I still have some issues we can't agree upon.
Firstly, I don't think you can apply a force to one plate without propagation of the force from the other plate. I'm not even sure this will work at all.
Secondly, I think all forces, if present, cancel out within the ship.
Thirdly, You can't 'push' one plate with another's force and expect to get propulsion. The ship itself is not being propelled by anything. The plates are perhaps pushing one another within the ship, but that's the extent.
I'm no expert on EM forces. Perhaps Thed could provide some imput. He knows his stuff in this area.
nanok,
This engine can only reach light speed, or very close to light speed, in outer space. In the Earth's atmosphere it would only accelerate only until the air resistance is equal to the propulsion force.
If you are implying that the mass of the engine would increase as it approaches light speed, then the acceleration of the engine would decrease, but nonetheless, it would still be accelerating.
In order to have equal acceleration at all speeds, and assuming Einstein is right, you would have to increase the energy consumption as the speed increases. But I see no reason why you would need to have constant acceleration.
Xelios We're setting you adrift idiot Registered Senior Member
I don't see how this would work either. You have two plates inside a ship, they will exert an equal force on each other, which will cancel any thrust you may get from it. Isn't this like putting a fan in the front of a toy boat and letting it blow wind at the sail? The boat will not move, unless you place the fan on another surface, such as your hand.

If force is being projected forward from one plate, then wouldn't that force be exerted back against its originating plate as well? Opposite and equal reactions and such?
Adam, Mar 29, 2002
Xelios and Adam,
In mass interactions, the rule of action/reaction ALWAYS applies because you cannot turn mass on or off at your discretion. Since mass in a mass interaction is always constant, the "reaction" force cannot be suppressed.
But this propulsion device does NOT deal with mass, it deals with electric fields. Electric fields CAN be turned on or off. Since electric fields only react to themselves, a system can be built that suppresses the "action" or the "reaction" force of an interaction.
This device suppresses the "action" force by making sure that no other electric fields are present when the electric pulse from plate 1 is generated. That way, no force interacts with the pulse or with plate 1. Next, a "reaction" force is created by charging plate 2 as the impulse from plate 1 hits it. The result is an interaction that only has a "reaction" force. And since there is no "action" force to balance the "reaction" force, propulsion is created.

I'll tell you what you should do, you should try to make this device ....... okay?? It's just silly to hear you disagree theoretically with the rest: if it works for real then you can prove it (but then again ... they might not believe IF it works - such is ego)

Fukushi,
Interesting link.
It's too bad I don't believe in time dilation, length contraction, or Einstein's correlation beween mass and velocity.
Tom, aka Joeblow93132
Prosoothus, Jun 3, 2002
it's really not a question of belief,...
time dilation, length contraction
When you warp space time: there is no time dilation,....so also no length contraction,...and Einstein? well: Einstein is correct in relativistic terms but when it comes to space travel warp engines: you might want to take a look at this thread: space propulsion

Joeblow, your machine wont work:
1) First we charge plate 1. Lets for a moment ignore practical considerations and just assume that the dimensions of the plate are small compared to the distance to pate 2. As the plate is charged, an electromagnetic field leaves the plate, moving at the speed of light. Actually an electromagnetic field does have a mass; light excerts a measurable pressure on objects, but as the field propagates equally in both directions, both towards plate 2 and away from it, no force acts on plate 1 (but we have already wasted at least half our energy into space).
2) We discharge plate 1 again, and here comes the first crunch: As we switch it off, a new electromagnetic pulse with the opposite polarity is generated, going off into space chasing the first one.
3) As the EM pulse approaches plate 2, we charge plate 2. This means that an EM pulse leaves plate 2 and the part of it going in the direction of plate 1 meets the wave from plate 1 in midair. And here comes the next crunch: What happens when two electromagnetic waves meet in midair? Answer: Nothing. Electromagnetic waves do not interact with each other. Interference patterns can occur, but each wave continues on its way without any exchange of energy.
4) So the pulse from plate 1 "impacts" on plate 2 in precisely the same way, regardless of which charge plate 2 has (and the pulse from plate 2 will impact on plate 1 a little later). The effect from this interaction is that the plates will repel each other with some small and equal force. If they are not connected, they might move away from each other, if they are physically bound to each other, they will stay where they are.
MRC_Hans, Aug 1, 2002
Hans,
As we switch it off, a new electromagnetic pulse with the opposite polarity is generated, going off into space chasing the first one.
You're right, but I'm not concerned with the electromagnetic pulses, I'm only concerned with the electric fields.
And here comes the next crunch: What happens when two electromagnetic waves meet in midair? Answer: Nothing. Electromagnetic waves do not interact with each other. Interference patterns can occur, but each wave continues on its way without any exchange of energy.
Your right again, electromagnetic waves would not interact with each other. But what would happen if two electric fields met midway between the plates?? They would push against both plates equally if they met exactly in the middle of the two plates. However, if the electric fields met closer to one plate than the other, they would create a greater force on the closer plate.
The small effects of the electromagnetic pulses and the momentum of the electromagnetic photons in this device would cancel each other out, just as you indicated. That's why I'm not relying on them for propulsion, I'm instead relying on the interaction of electric fields for propulsion. If I wanted to use electromagnetic radiation for propulsion, I would have used a laser and not a pulsing electric field.

To some extent (Q) is right, but
...but that is overcomable. I understand your idea Tom and I think you might be on to the classic Star Trek Impulse Engine
. One thing doesn't seem correct, and I'm also wondering about something.
First what is incorrect. If you would let plate 2 become positively charged the moment the pulse hits it and let it become discharged when the pulse went through totally, you end up with a big 500kV vibrator
This will be true as when the wave passes through plate 2 (assuming it charges at the right moment and so on), thing will happen.
1) At the start the whole pulse is on one side of the plate (2). It will then fully push the plate (still 2) away.
2) Then the pulse 'overtakes' the plate (2). At the point where exactly one half of the pulse is on one side and the other half on the other side of the plate (2), nothing will happen. This because the plate (2) will be repelled either 'left' AND 'right'.
3) Then the most part of the pulse has passed. On this point though the pulse is where you want the plate (2)!
I dunno if you understood it the way I explained it, I might make it into a gif image if it is really ununderstandable.
The point is, it would be really easy overcomable by making the pulse from plate 2 as long as pulse 1 needs to halfly cross plate 2.
The thing I was wondering about was that 120 degree phase variation. I actually don't see why you would need it with two constant fields? just delete that and it seems to work imho AND i understand it
ps.: anyone having a spare VandeGraaff-generator lying around to try this all?

Someone being winched up by a chain. A twist of blue flowers near a white plate. Some sign language in a white hallway. The sun as though we might never need to wake up again. My mother tells me she loves me. She obeys me which causes me to weep in the corner. Bathrooms, knives, rooms. My first kiss in a frozen car. In the middle of a snow-covered lake, no one can move. There's a phone call but it turns out it is just some snow muffling pain. All her life my mother desired a balcony to walk out onto. Now she walks toward me, her oldest son, as though hiding a huge gift behind her back. There are a few things I am still afraid of... Hotels. Bottom teeth. The sun in the wrong place at the wrong time.
My tastes are changing, this is a love note. Pleasure, hardwood floors. My vas deferens is stranger and stranger to me. I find myself in a bathtub covered in all of your black hair: a depressing mystery. There is the feeling that even if it wasn't snowing. I fawn around then towel off. I make a kissing sound but it is inside of a log cabin where no one appreciates it. My parents just wore gold wedding bands all of their life. The diamonds were in other places. They put their diamonds inside my heart. It was like living through multiple lonely winters. Now when I walk across a marble floor I am the gold flecks. I am the champagne and the eaten raspberries found in the stomach. And when I run from the room you tilt your glass in the light. The memory of being a small but nevertheless black earring in my mother's heart.

Q: MSBuild - Copy one file or another depending on the Build Configuration I have a file inside my solution that is currently copied to the build output on this path: Core\Bootstrap.txt
(My application uses it when it runs, but I would like it to have different contents depending on the Build Configuration)
I suspect this is done modifying the csproj and playing with MSBuild, but I don't have any clue.

A: The only function is that you should create wo other txt files called Bootstrap.Debug.txt and Bootstrap.Release.txt.
First, set Copy to Output Directory of these two other files to No not copy.
And remember to clear Bootstrap.txt and then make your all content into Bootstrap.Debug.txt or Bootstrap.Release.txt. If you want to use Debug mode, make changes on the Bootstrap.Debug.txt while make changes on the Bootstrap.Release.txt under Release mode.
Second, unload your project, add this in the csproj file:
 <ItemGroup>
    <Content Include="Core\Bootstrap.txt">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </Content>
    <Content Include="Core\Bootstrap.Debug.txt">
      <DependentUpon>Bootstrap.txt</DependentUpon>
    </Content>
    <Content Include="Core\Bootstrap.Release.txt">
      <DependentUpon>Bootstrap.txt</DependentUpon>
    </Content>
  </ItemGroup>
  <Target Name="CopyFiles" BeforeTargets="PrepareForBuild">
    <Exec Command="xcopy /y $(ProjectDir)Core\Bootstrap.$(Configuration).txt $(ProjectDir)Core\Bootstrap.txt" />
  </Target>

Then, change your build configuration, then build your project. After that, you can check the Bootstrap.txt under the output folder, and it already contains the related content based on your configuration.
Update
If you did not want to use copy task, then you can directly copy the related Bootstrap.Debug or Release.txt into the output folder. And then you can directly use Bootstrap.Debug.txt or Bootstrap.Release.txt based on the configuration. That is an easier way.
Not sure whether you need the fixed name file Bootstrap.txt, if you do not need that, you can directly use  Bootstrap.Debug.txt or Bootstrap.Release.txt.
<ItemGroup>
    <Content Include="Core\Bootstrap.txt">
    </Content>
    <Content Include="Core\Bootstrap.Debug.txt" Condition="'$(Configuration)'=='Debug'">
      <DependentUpon>Bootstrap.txt</DependentUpon>
        <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </Content>
    <Content Include="Core\Bootstrap.Release.txt" Condition="'$(Configuration)'=='Release'">
      <DependentUpon>Bootstrap.txt</DependentUpon>
        <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </Content>
  </ItemGroup>

If you still want the fixed name file  Bootstrap.txt, you have to use Copy task to make the related txt file overwrite the main Bootstrap.txt file. And MSBuild is not flexible enough to write some info based on the
configuration condition on the txt file and then it will add corresponding information to the corresponding build file according to the build configuration.
MSBuild does not have such a function, so you can only write logic manually, and overwrite the main file according to different configuration-based files.
If you do not want xcopy command, you can use the msbuild copy task, and it belongs to MSBuild.
<ItemGroup>
    <Content Include="Core\Bootstrap.txt">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </Content>
    <Content Include="Core\Bootstrap.Debug.txt" >
      <DependentUpon>Bootstrap.txt</DependentUpon>

    </Content>
    <Content Include="Core\Bootstrap.Release.txt">
      <DependentUpon>Bootstrap.txt</DependentUpon>
    </Content>
  </ItemGroup>
  <Target Name="CopyFiles" BeforeTargets="PrepareForBuild">
      <Copy SourceFiles="$(ProjectDir)Core\Bootstrap.$(Configuration).txt" DestinationFiles="$(ProjectDir)Core\Bootstrap.txt"></Copy>
  </Target>

Otherwise, there is no other way.

A: A ton of the time I see people do this I see them have a separate file named Bootstrap.Development.txt and when you load the file you can check the Environment type in dotnet and load $"Bootstrap.{envName}.json" and just always load Bootstrap.json but don't use it if your envName is 'Development'
edit:
just remember in the properties for both files to always copy to output dir if newer

Sustainable circuits printed from graphite-loaded shellac ink
Image credit: Empa
By E&T editorial staff
Published Monday, December 20, 2021
Researchers from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials, Science, and Technology (EMPA) have developed a novel material for printing circuits which may not contribute to the growing problem of e-waste.
For many years, researchers have been developing means of producing circuits using additive manufacturing techniques. Although this has been quite successful – allowing for cheap, precise, quick-to-produce electronics – the metal particles used to make these "inks" conductive are exacerbating the problem of electronic waste. This is particularly concerning given the likelihood that printed electronics will be largely used in cheap, disposable IOT sensors.
"There is an urgent need for materials that balance electronic performance, cost, and sustainability," said Professor Gustav Nyström, head of Empa's Cellulose and Wood Materials lab.
In order to develop an environmentally friendly ink, Nyström and his colleagues set the goal of making it metal-free, non-toxic, and biodegradable. Having practical applications in mind, they also aimed to ensure it was easily formable and stable to moisture and moderate heat.
They chose as their conductive material inexpensive carbon; specifically, they used elongated graphite platelets mixed with tiny soot particles to establish electrical contact between the platelets. This was contained within a matrix of shellac: a resin produced by certain scale insects and used widely as a nail varnish. Shellac does not only fit the desired material profile; it is also soluble in alcohol, which evaporates after the ink is applied, causing it to dry.
Despite these useful ingredients, the task proved challenging. This was due to the need for the ink to exhibit shear thinning behaviour. At "rest", 3D-printing ink is viscous. However, at the moment it is printed, it is subjected to a lateral shear force and becomes more fluid, like a non-drip paint that acquires a soft consistency after being applied to a wall with a roller. It is particularly important to refine this characteristic in additive manufacturing; an ink that is too viscous would be too tough, but if it becomes too liquid during printing, the solid components could separate and clog the narrow nozzle.
To meet these requirements, the researchers tinkered intensively with their ink formulation. They tested two sizes of graphite platelets: 40μm, and 7-10μm in length. Many variations were also needed in the mixing ratio of graphite and carbon black, because too much carbon black makes the material brittle, risking cracking as the ink dries. Eventually, by optimising the formulation and the relative composition of the components, the team was able to develop several variants of the ink that can be used in different 2D and 3D printing processes.
Xavier Aeby, a doctoral student involved in the Scientific Reports study, explained: "The biggest challenge was to achieve high electrical conductivity and at the same time form a gel-like network of carbon, graphite, and shellac."
The researchers investigated the behaviour of the material to ensure it was appropriate for additive manufacturing processes such as robocasting, confirming that the ink performed well as an electrical conductor, as well as having good tensile strength and stability underwater. The material has now been patented.
Nystöm said: "We hope that this ink system can be used for applications in sustainable printed electronics. For example, for conductive tracks and sensor elements in smart packaging and biomedical devices or in the field of food and environmental sensing."

I got my prescription for 2mgs xanax bars filled and they are like a lighter yellowish browinsh kinda color and ive never seen one like this. can anyone tell me if they ever experienced or cane across one of these?
Legitimate 2mg Alprazolam bars with R039 (made by Actavis) are depicted as being light yellow in color, but not necessarily having any brown to it as you had mentioned. It should be clear to tell that they are indeed pure yellow.
For verification, the pill by Actavis carries a National Drug Code of 00228-2039.
The alprazolam that are tan are definitely fake; I'd dispose of them immediately.
They do make orange bars. Just bc they are pressed doesn't necessarily mean they're not real. It means they could be trying different fillers in the pill, so in that case it needs to be pressed. If you look at some sites they say the orange bars are 2.5mg which I don't believe and they work fine for me. Might be a lil weaker but they definitely do make orange sticks.
I was trying to avoid anxiety with these yellow xanax bars. I literally feel more anxiety and am now what it is I took? Its been hours after I took them. Should i still be worried? I cant sleep at all.
Your pharmacy is buying black market bars. They're pressed. They probably don't work well either huh?

For good reason, writers in the early stages of their development are encouraged not to use voice over in their scripts. One of the key reasons even seasoned writers are weary of doing so is that it breaks the fourth wall between the audience and the performers. However, it's undeniable that some of the most loved and well-written stories break the wall between the viewer and those doing the viewing. Here are a few examples of effective ways to break the fourth wall.
In Robert Zemeckis's new film, The Walk, the protagonist breaks the fourth wall and addresses the audience directly throughout the film, acting as narrator. While remaining a risky move, the device works because we have someone as engaging as Joseph Gordon-Levitt to watch and uncommonly good writing to listen to. Some writers are good at dialogue. Others are wonderful at describing scenes and actions. Still others can use prose in their work to great effect. Few can master all these approaches. You should know what sort of writing you excel at before attempting to craft a script guided by a storyteller who will directly address the audience.
While the character in The Walk only talks to the audience while on top of the Statue of Liberty, other films feature characters daring to turn to the camera and address us in the middle of a scene. John Cusack's character in High Fidelity masterfully and humorously moves between the role of storyteller and protagonist. Uma Thurman opens and closes the Kill Bill saga by addressing the audience directly. She remains our storyteller throughout the course of the narrative. Wes Anderson uses unseen storytellers in films such as The Royal Tenenbaums and The Grand Budapest Hotel. They break the fourth wall and we never even notice.
Since choosing to break the fourth wall can take your audience out of the experience momentarily, you might choose to use the device sparingly. Films like American Beauty use a disembodied narrator only to set up and conclude the action, with perhaps one exception in the middle. Kevin Spacey narrates his world to move us into the story quickly. He lets us know that he is speaking to us from another world. At the end of the second act, he reminds us that he is dead. And finally, wraps up the major themes of the story at the end. Using this bookend approach keeps us from constantly interrupting the narrative by breaking the fourth wall.
In Bruce Almighty, the writers cleverly created the protagonist as a TV news reporter so that he could look at and address the audience directly from time to time. At the end of the film, he further breaks the fourth wall by giving the film audience a wink and speaking directly to us. Disguising the break also allows Steve Carell's character to look directly into our eyes while he delivers a hilariously memorable breakdown.
Breaking Bad uses a similar technique for dramatic effect in it's pilot, allowing Bryan Cranston to look directly into a camera and address those he loves. This puts us in the position of Cranston's family, though we haven't met them yet. We feel deep empathy as the character seems to be talking right at us. Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick rotate back and forth as storytellers in Election. They will often pause the action to fill us in on the backstory of the moment we are witnessing. Their tour through the minds of the characters and their backstories actually makes our narrative journey more colorful, rather than taking us out of the story – a perfect disguise. Kevin Smith also has the characters involved in the backstory address the audience in small vignettes in Chasing Amy. The audience becomes pseudo-documentary filmmakers interviewing these subjects about what they know the characters have done previously in their lives.
As with most advanced techniques, breaking the fourth wall usually only works when used sparingly or as a major device in the story. There's not much middle ground in this arena. Addressing the audience directly can powerfully draw them into the story. It can also alienate them and make your story feel less than cinematic. Watch what's worked in the stories you love. Then, go out and put your own creative spin on it.

Kenny Chesney Trip Around The Sun Tour 2018 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, March 16 & 17
TRIP AROUND THE SUN TOUR 2018
PRESENTED BY BLUE CHAIR BAY RUM
FRIDAY, MARCH 16 & SATURDAY, MARCH 17 AT 9 P.M.
Tickets on sale Friday, November 17 at 10 a.m. PT
Country superstar Kenny Chesney has announced that he is adding two Las Vegas shows to the Trip Around The Sun Tour in conjunction with his critically acclaimed new album, Live in No Shoes Nation. The tour will feature the latest hits from Cosmic Hallelujah and The Big Revival, mix them with everyone's favorites, and add in a few wild cards. As one of the few non-stadium dates on the tour, the Las Vegas shows will give attendees the opportunity to get up close and personal with the artist and fellow fans. Chesney will return to The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Friday, March 16 and Saturday, March 17. Tickets go on sale Friday, Nov. 17 at 10 a.m.
Tickets start at $150 (plus applicable service fees) and go on sale Friday, November 17 at 10 a.m. at the Hard Rock Hotel box office, by calling 888.9.AXS.TIX or online at www.axs.com.

"Listening to all those tapes of all those shows led to Live in No Shoes Nation," Chesney says. "And playing those two nights in Foxboro this year made me really want to get out there with all the people who LIVE this music. We have so much fun, so much life, so many memories – all tied up in these shows and these songs – I am ready to get out there and kick into another summer where we can all celebrate how lucky we are to love life and be able to come together."
Kicking off April 21 at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium, the 2018 Trip Around the Sun Tour will gather up all that energy and all the new songs from The Big Revival and Cosmic Hallelujah, mix them with everyone's favorites, add in a few wild cards and hit the road like only Chesney can.
"There's nothing like a stadium full of people coming together to remind you what life's about," Chesney says. "The energy, the moments, the fun. Every single one of these artists who're coming out with us for Trip Around the Sun live their lives the exact same way: they work hard, they appreciate what they're given and they love music every bit as much as they love life. I, personally, can't wait to see this show hit the road."
For Chesney, who's been called "The King of the Road" by Wall Street Journal and "The People's Superstar" by The Los Angeles Times, there is nowhere he feels more alive than when he's onstage. His stadium shows are a rite of summer for many, and the songwriter/superstar from East Tennessee has built his career by striving to give people a night that defines their summer.
Tickets for the Trip Around the Sun will be available at www.kennychesney.com/triparoundthesun.
