In relationships our comprehensive, ASEAN is showing the innovation and development when facing the new rapid changes of the international situations. In particular, its may include efforts to promote cooperation in all fields, from political, economic to cultural between not only the internal affairs of member states but also the foreign relations with other countries or international intergovernmental organizations.

Such achievement is the fruit of effort and dedication committed by those who yearned for the peace and prosperity of the in Southeast Asia region. The scientific article will introduce people who are the leading figures behind the ASEAN Miracle and their contribution toward the foundation and the development of ASEAN. Then, the author gives lessons-learned by drawing their philosophies, convictions and endeavors to achieve greater development of ASEAN: "Unity is strength". Finally, this paper calls for the understanding of value that the champions of ASEAN Miracle creating to promote global development.
Overview about ASEAN
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a political, economic, cultural and social alliance of nations in Southeast Asia. It is an important and well-established international organization formed on 8 August 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand, with the signing of the ASEAN Declaration (Bangkok Declaration 1967) by the "Founding Fathers" of ASEAN, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, also known as ASEAN-5, to express the spirit of solidarity among the countries in the same region and cooperate against violence and unrest in the member countries.
This organization then expanded when Brunei Darussalam became the sixth member after joining on 7 January 1984, just one week after they gained its independence on 1 January. On 28 July 1995, Viet Nam became the seventh member. Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR) and Myanmar joined on 23 July 1997, two years after. Cambodia intended to join with Laos and Myanmar, but it is postponed because of internal political strife. After stabilizing the government, Cambodia then jointed on 30 April 1999, making up what is today the ten Member States of ASEAN (AMS) or ASEAN-10. Moreover, both East Timor and Papua New Guinea were the observers of this organization.
Recently, the most prominent of ASEAN is the "ASEAN Community" that was launched on 31 December 2015. The ASEAN Community is comprised of three pillars: the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC), ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC). At the ASEAN Summit in November 2015, ASEAN adopted the Kuala Lumpur Declaration on ASEAN 2025: Forging Ahead Together with its new vision and blueprint for the ASEAN Community for the next 10 years (ASEAN – Korea Center, n.d).
After 50 years of existence and development (1967 – 2017), from a simple Association of countries in Southeast Asia, ASEAN gradually developed into a large-scale organization with deepening cooperation and comprehensive. Today, ASEAN's cooperative activities cover all aspects of the political, economic, cultural and social life of Southeast Asian nations. Furthermore, ASEAN has been establishing itself as a platform for Asian integrations and co-operations, working with other Asian countries to promote unity in diversity, prosperity, development and sustainability of the region, as well as working on solutions to resolve disputes and international problems (such as: territorial sovereignty) between nations. By establishing communications with other nations of the world, to better promote world peace and stability, ASEAN has become the most influential regional organization in Southeast Asia and has played an important role in a lot of international organizations, especially in the United Nations.
For the world in general and the Asia-Pacific region in particular, the rule of co-operation for mutual development is the sustainable trend of current countries. Besides intra-regional cooperation, ASEAN has also strengthened its external relations such as ASEAN+1 (with its 10 dialogue partners, i.e. Republic of Korea, United States, European Union, Japan, etc.), ASEAN+3, etc. As a result, Southeast Asia region has grown steadily and held an important place in the international arena. Moreover, ASEAN has a global reputation of promoting goodwill and diplomacy among countries, shutting out any opinion or decision considered biased and carrying the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state.
ASEAN's achievements after 50 years
Described as the "ASEAN Miracle"
Let's go back 50 years ago, when ASEAN was founded in 1967, almost no one believed it would last let alone succeed. Two regional groupings, the Association of Southeast Asian States (ASA) and Maphilindo[1], had already failed. Indochina had fallen to the communist wave, and the rest of Southeast Asia looked poised to fall like dominoes as well. Singapore had just split from Malaysia, in the wake of disputes and racial riots. Before that, Malaysia and Singapore had experienced Confrontation with Indonesia-a conflict that ended only in 1966 (Bahbubani, 2015). In such a difficult situation, a miracle appeared with the advent of ASEAN. This miracle based on three motives for creating ASEAN are the purpose of building the country and its goals of economic, political and security development. Countries in the region, which have lost faith in outside world-powers, have come together in the background of the 1960s to support each other. Unlike other international organizations, ASEAN aims to protect and promote nationalism (Alagappa, 1998).
At the dawn of ASEAN Miracle, there were tensions taking place in the activities. But then the initial distrust had fallen away in meetings and they focused on the goodwill and a sense of common purpose. It can be said that from a loose association with five members in 1967, ASEAN has transformed into a rule-based regional intergovernmental organization with the entry into force of the ASEAN Charter in 2008 and earned worldwide recognition as a dynamic regional grouping. With signing and ratification of the ASEAN Charter, ASEAN cooperation has had the legal basis and institutional framework to take a new step forward.
In the field of political-security, ASEAN has launched many initiatives and mechanisms to ensure peace and security in the region, such as: The Zone of Peace, Freedom and Neutrality (ZOPFAN) Declaration in 1971, Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC) in 1976, and Southeast Asian Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Treaty (SEANWFZ) in 1995, especially, the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) in 2002, etc. Since 1994, ASEAN has also initiated and chaired the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF). With comprising 27 participating nations, ARF is the place where ASEAN and its external partners conduct dialogue and cooperation on political and security issues in Asia – Pacific. In general, ASEAN Declarations and treaties above concentrate the aim of fostering peace, security and stability in what was once a very unstable part of the global.
With regard to economic, ASEAN took a significant step towards integrating the regional market through the establishment of the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) in 1992, involving gradual intra-ASEAN tariff liberalization and the signing of ASEAN Framework Agreement on Services (AFAS) in 1995 which serves as a basis for services liberalization in the region (ASEAN, 2017). ASEAN also promoted the economic cooperation in other areas such as investment (through the ASEAN-AIA Investment Area Agreement), industry, agriculture, finance, transportation, customs, etc. The changes in 50 years of ASEAN economic integration and cooperation may include: the signing of the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA) in 2009; the entry into force of the ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement (ACIA) in 2012, the adoption of the ASEAN Financial Integration Framework (AFIF) in 2011 and the latest is Adoption of the AEC Blueprint 2025 and formal establishment of the AEC. As a result, the rate of economic growth expressed through GDP/capita and trade has increased considerably since 1967 (Figure 1).
ASEAN has also enjoyed functional cooperation in many areas, such as: educational cooperation for mutual understanding, exchange cultural, disaster management, environment, health, etc. Especially in external relations, ASEAN developed friendly relations and mutually beneficial dialogue, cooperation and partnerships with countries and sub-regional, regional and international organizations and institutions. It can be said that ASEAN+1, ASEAN+3 and the East Asia Summit (EAS).
The most notable achievement was that the Association had completed the idea of an ASEAN consisting of ten Southeast Asian nations; removing the divisions and confrontations between Southeast Asian countries; enhancing the mutual understanding; promoting comprehensive and coherent cooperation; focusing on dialogue, consensus, non-interference in internal affairs each other's. ASEAN also helped transform the association into a truly regional cooperative organization, an important factor in ensuring peace, security, cooperation and development in Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific.
On the balance, I emphasize that ASEAN is a miracle. In an era of growing cultural pessimism, there is a pervasive belief that different civilizations cannot function together. Yet the ten countries of ASEAN are a thriving counter-example of coexistence (Mahbubani & Sng, 2017). And here, ASEAN stretches over 4,32 million square kilometers and has more than 630 million people live together in peace (3rd largest globally). These 50 years of development prove the big change of many fields and have also made ASEAN to be affected object in the global (Figure 1).

The leading figures enlightens "ASEAN Miracle"
Historical background and international relations
With the special historical background of ASEAN Miracle above, on 8 August 1967, the Foreign Ministers of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand struck a landmark agreement, forming ASEAN. In the main hall of the Department of Foreign Affairs building in Bangkok, Thailand, five Foreign Ministers signed ASEAN Declaration. The five leaders – Adam Malik (The Presidium Minister for Political Affairs/ Minister for Foreign Affairs of Indonesia), Narciso R. Ramos (The Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines), Tun Abdul Razak (The Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia), S. Rajaratnam (The Minister for Foreign Affairs of Singapore), and Thanat Khoman (The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Thailand) – would subsequently be hailed as the "Champions of the ASEAN Miracle".
Actually, to carry out the task, the five Foreign Ministers were delegated power by the five heads of state (The Presidents or Kings) of the founding nations. The Foreign Ministers acted on the will and spirit of the country, headed by the head of state. Therefore, the negotiation process has been difficult when each man brought into the deliberations a historical and political perspective that had no resemblance to that of any of the others. But with goodwill and good humor, as often as they huddled at the negotiating table, they finessed their way through their differences as they lined up their shots on the golf course and traded wisecracks on one another's game, a style of deliberation which would eventually become the ASEAN ministerial tradition (ASEAN, 2012).
Finally, The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Thailand – Thanat Khoman made the conclusion of negotiation: "What we have decided today is only a small beginning of what we hope will be a long and continuous sequence of accomplishments of which we ourselves, those who will join us later and the generations to come, can be proud. Let it be for Southeast Asia, a potentially rich region, rich in history, in spiritual as well as material resources and indeed for the whole ancient continent of Asia, the light of happiness and well-being that will shine over the uncounted millions of our struggling peoples." (ASEAN, 2012). He brought up the ASEAN idea in his conversations and had the high consensus of his colleagues. Hence, the name of organization (ASEAN) was suggested by him and the ASEAN Declaration, which containing just five articles of aims and purposes of that Association, was created. It proclaimed ASEAN as representing "the collective will of the nations of Southeast Asia to bind themselves together in friendship and cooperation and, through joint efforts and sacrifices, secure for their peoples and for posterity the blessings of peace, freedom and prosperity." (ASEAN, 1967).
That was how ASEAN was conceived, given a name, and born. It suited the context of history and international relations at the time. Sooner or later, ASEAN will still be born. It can be said that the achievement of ASEAN Miracle is the fruit of effort and dedication committed by five Foreign Ministers who yearned for the peace and prosperity of the region.
The contribution toward the foundation and the development of ASEAN
The five Foreign Ministers are "Founding Fathers" of probably the most successful inter-governmental organization in the world today (ASEAN, 2012). They are considered the first to lay the foundations for the success of ASEAN. The conversations and arguments in the negotiation process for reaching agreement have partly reflected the progressive ideas of development cooperation. Moreover, which can be the "doctrines" that creating the ASEAN Miracle.
The idea of the establishment of ASEAN has solved the basic instability at that time. Many disputes between ASEAN countries persist to this day. But all Member Countries are deeply committed to resolving their differences through peaceful means and in the spirit of mutual accommodation. Every dispute would have its proper season but it would not be allowed to get in the way of the task at hand (ASEAN, 2012).
The five Foreign Ministers of founding countries had realized that political and economical regional cooperation would bring greater stability and prosperity to the region. The dreams of development process to progress in the future came true. Fifty years and five additional countries later, the alliance has remained one of the world most successful collaborations. This is the greatest proof of what is called the success of regionalism.
The philosophies, convictions and endeavors to achieve greater development of ASEAN
The value of lessons-learned
Through the Champions of the ASEAN Miracle, their philosophies, convictions and endeavors bring many value things to humanity: Although countries may have differences in political institutions, the legal systems, economic and social, cooperation to create an alliance is a common tendency for the world's great efficiency. And ASEAN is no exception. At the beginning period of ASEAN Miracle, the nations of region must first free themselves from the material impediments of ignorance, hunger and disease. New ASEAN ideas have confirmed that each of these countries can not accomplish that alone, but by joining together and cooperating with those who have the same aspirations and visions, these objectives become easier to attain in the future.
In international relations, linking with countries that are close together in the region and have certain similarities is considered a future development trend, instead of establishing an alliance with countries that are far from the realm. Assume that if a single ASEAN country performs foreign policy with countries, it is very difficult to face superpowers or major international government organizations. Therefore, being overwhelmed as well as failing to power of the partners. This inequality is unacceptable. Instead, the ASEAN countries have agreed to build a strong and unified ASEAN to be able to hold a key position in international relations. The ideological value of the champions of ASEAN Miracle is "Unity is strength". Which mean that encouraging weak nations to rely more on neighborly mutual support than on stronger states that serve their own national interests rather than those of smaller partners (Khoman, 1992).
Nowadays, with the role as a forum that promotes and fosters trust and confidence between member countries, ASEAN brings the peace and stability not only for Southeast Asian region but also all over the world. ASEAN countries understood their roles and responsibilities in implementing the future goals and directions of the alliance.
For ASEAN's leaders in general and member states in particular, understanding the value of philosophies above will help ASEAN move in the right direction in the future. Basing on the foundation that ASEAN Miracle innovators have created, the next generation of leaders has continued to apply and consolidate the coherence. In addition, if the people in the ASEAN community have the knowledge of the value of ASEAN lessons-learned, the organization's top goals will be achieved by consistency. After all, what ASEAN is trying to create is to serve the life of the ASEAN's citizens. Moreover, it motivates other international organizations to co-ordinate the development of the whole of humanity.
In the current world context, ASEAN has been a successful model of regional integration and is at the heart of multilateralism. In the recent years, however, the international community has witnessed a trend against multilateralism through Brexit, America's withdrawals from Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) and Paris Climate Accord (PCA). The value doctrines of the leading figures behind the ASEAN Miracle will help countries and intergovernmental organizations around the world take a more active view at multilateralism – comprehensive cooperation.
The philosophies, convictions and endeavors of five Foreign Ministers in order to achieve greater development of ASEAN will last forever by time. They have been maintained and promoted when the ASEAN Community was established. This is concretized in the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 to realise "a rules-based, people-oriented and people-centred ASEAN Community, where our peoples enjoy human rights and fundamental freedoms, higher quality of life and the benefits of community building, reinforcing our sense of togetherness and common identity, guided by the purposes and principles of the ASEAN Charter." (ASEAN, 2015).
Being an ASEAN's citizen witnessed the change and development of this organization. I feel proud and honored to enjoy the achievements in the common development of ASEAN. I learned a lot from the experiences and draw on the progressive philosophies, convictions and endeavors of the leading figures behind the ASEAN Miracle. We must remember and praise the champions of the ASEAN Miracle for their great contribution to realize the dreams of development process to progress in the future.
With the achievements made in the last 50 years, the association has shown the value of ASEAN Miracle through ASEAN's increasingly important role in the international arena. The current leaders of ASEAN need to follow the philosophies values that the founders have created. The current leaders of ASEAN need to follow the ideological values that the founders have created. ASEAN should make greater efforts to cooperate comprehensively and to expand its influence in the world. That requires that every member countries, in particular every ASEAN's citizens, has the responsibility to contribute to the common development of the community: "One Vision, One Identity, One Community".

(The Webre Oaks are located on the property at 1523 Highway 308; six miles south from downtown Thibodaux and 9 miles from Raceland. This is still within the community of St. Charles.)
There are several old oaks surrounding the weathered Creole Cottage on this property, the largest of which is more than 24 feet in girth (approximately 200-300 years of age).
Webre Oak, 24 ft. 4 in. in girth
The current owner of these oaks is Lafourche Parish Sheriff, Craig Webre. According to Mr. Webre, the land was never part of any of the neighboring plantations (Melodia Plantation is directly south and Webster Plantation was to the north). But like many of the homes and properties in the St. Charles Community, the land has been owned by a series of descendants of the original French and Acadian families that settled along Bayou Lafourche in the late 1770s and early 1800s. The Zeringue family were the previous owners of the property, and Mr. E.P. Zeringue was born and raised in the Creole Cottage there.
According to Mr. E.P. Zeringue, a Babin family owned the property before the Zeringues and due to inheritance laws, the land was split between two Babin sons, Traisemond and Hector. Mr. Webre was able to purchase both sections of the split property to bring the original land-grant settlement together again. The old Victorian-style home being restored on the property was moved from Homeplace Plantation in Gheens, almost 20 miles away.
NOTE: According to a recent clarification by Mr. R. L. Rhodes, the Zeringue family never actually owned the property but married into the Babin family and though the Zeringue family lived on the land, the property was part of the estate of Babin family heirs.

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium high (about 350°F to 425°F).
Meanwhile, place all of the glaze ingredients in a saucepan and whisk until combined. Cook over a medium-high flame, whisking for 3-4 minutes until vinegar evaporates and the consistency becomes more glaze-like.
Meanwhile, pat the salmon dry with paper towels (make sure it has been scaled and cleaned of bones). Brush both sides of the fillets with vegetable oil and season both sides generously with salt and pepper, per your taste.
Rub the grill grates with a towel dipped in oil (or, if you are using an indoor grill pan, brush vegetable oil on the pan).
Place the salmon on the grill skin-side down and cook undisturbed until grill marks appear and the skin is starting to crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, brush the glaze onto the side facing up. Then, using a fish spatula, carefully flip the fillets over and brush the skin-side that is facing up with the remaining glaze, reserving a few spoons to serve with the finished dish. Continue to cook the salmon until it is just opaque in the center, about 2 to 4 minutes more.
Transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately, passing any remaining glaze on the side and drizzling lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil around the fish. Serve on top of my Spiced Butternut Squash and Nut Cous Cous for the perfect pairing of flavors!

The AcuGraph Digital Meridian Imaging System is a computerized tool used to analyze and document the energetic status of acupuncture meridians. A probe is used to touch your hands and feet in the acupuncture points to complete the examination.
Acupuncture meridians are invisible energy pathways in your body that have been used therapeutically for over 5,000 years. These Meridians conduct life-force energy, or Qi (pronounced "chee") in and around all the parts of your body. Blockage or interference in these meridian pathways can result in energetic imbalances that may contribute to negative health conditions. The primary goal of acupuncture treatment is to restore energetic balance and proper energy flow to these meridians, thus allowing your body to function normally and return to health naturally.
How Can AcuGraph help Me?
The AcuGraph system allows your practitioner to measure and analyze the energy balance of each acupuncture meridian. Armed with this information, your healthcare practitioner can make better-informed decisions about your condition, and provide the best treatment possible.

'Kidnapper-casino loan sharks' urge DOJ to junk charges
Ina Reformina, ABS-CBN News
LOOK: DOJ preliminary investigation hearing into kidnapping for ransom, serious illegal detention case vs alleged casino loan sharks pic.twitter.com/WrmtG9EufG
— Ina Reformina (@InaReformina) October 25, 2017
Five individuals charged for the kidnapping for ransom and serious illegal detention of two Koreans and one Chinese urged the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Wednesday to dismiss the complaint, as they maintained their innocence.
In a four-page counter-affidavit, Ernesto Marella, Ferdie Dionisio, Raymond de Guzman, Jomar dela Peña, and Alexander Dionisio said they did not abduct, ask for ransom, nor deprive the alleged victims of their liberty.
The respondents said they could not be held liable for these offenses because they had a standing agreement with complainants and casino players Yeum Sun Ki, Pan Ho Park, and Xia Liu, that in the event they failed to pay their loans, they would "voluntarily stay" with the respondents.
Marella, reportedly a casino lender, submitted the counter-affidavit, which was subsequently adopted by his four co-respondents.
"[W]hat is notably and conveniently not disclosed [by complainants] is that, prior to getting their loans, complainants, who had only their word to offer as collateral, had freely and knowingly executed, by signing and thumb-marking, plainly worded agreements, uniformly declaring as follows: (a) that if they lose, they will 'voluntarily stay' with lender until they could pay; and (b) that the agreement is 'binding," the counter-affidavit read.
Respondents attached the alleged written agreements with Yeum and Pan to the counter-affidavit, while their agreement with Xia allegedly got lost during the police operation.
The complaint, transmitted on behalf of the foreign tourists by the Philippine National Police Anti-Kidnapping Group (PNP-AKG), stated that Yeum and Pan reportedly borrowed P600,000 each from Marella, while Xia borrowed P1-million from a fellow Chinese identified only as "Black Man."
Xia claimed she was able to pay her debt but was still detained by respondents because her boyfriend, who came to the Philippines to play in casinos with her, still owed ¥6-million.
The complaint said the casino players were taken by respondents at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Manila: Liu on September 15, Park on October 12, and Yeum on October 16, and then brought to a safehouse in Bulacan.
Marella argued he merely offered free board and lodging to complainants "as they have lost everything to gambling, while they try to work for the payment of their loans by anyone from anywhere who may be willing to help."
Marella also stressed complainants were not detained "as they were free to go in and out of the Guiguinto House (safehouse) anytime they wanted."
"The bedrooms of complainants were not locked. The doors of the Guiguinto House were not locked… [Complainants] were never handcuffed or chained... The Guiguinto house was not guarded since I worked almost the whole day every day at Pan Pacific with respondents Alexander Dionisio and Ferdie Dionisio as aides or errand boys, while respondents Raymond de Guzman and Jomar dela Peña worked during daytime as construction workers," the counter-affidavit read.
These assertions ran counter to the complaint, which state "[A]ll victims were deprived of their liberty and kept at Ilang Ilang St., Guiguinto, Bulacan while the kidnappers were negotiating for their ransom in exchange of their liberty."
The case has been submitted to the DOJ for resolution.

Singapore: Looking for short-term relationships? Choose men with wider faces as they are more dominant and attractive for speed-dating.
Previous studies have found that women prefer more dominant men for short-term relationships but these were based in the lab and did not involve an interaction that could actually lead to mating and dating.
"New findings show that within three minutes of meeting in real life, women find more dominant, wider-faced men attractive for short-term relationships, and want to go on another date with them," claimed Katherine Valentine, a psychological scientist and lead researcher with Singapore Management University.
Researchers have been exploring facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) as a possible physical indicator of male dominance.
High male fWHR has previously been associated with surviving in hand-to-hand combat, aggressiveness, self-perceived power and financial success.
"Our study shows it's also a reasonably good indicator of perceived dominance - it enhances women's interest in a speed-dating setting," added Valentine.
The researchers studied over 150 men and women, ages 18 to 32, who participated in one of several speed-dating events.
The participants were all single and they received no compensation other than the prospect of making a potential romantic match.Each speed-dating interaction lasted three minutes.
Male speed-daters with higher fWHR were independently rated as more dominant.
Women not only expressed more interest in short-term relationships with these men but were also more likely to choose them for a second date, said the study published in the journal Psychological Science.
"The fact that women wanted to see these men again suggests that our findings are robust. Women aren't just saying they are interested, they're actually willing to be contacted by these men," explained Valentine.

Many topics important to citizens require changing EU treaties. The Commission may propose treaty changes on its own initiative. So ECIs should be able to ask it to do so. Read our detailed proposal here.
ECI campaigns do not have access to the email addresses of their ECI's signatories. This limits the ECI's ability to mobilise Europeans and facilitate transnational debate. To allow two-way communication, email addresses need to be collected within the ECI support form. Read our detailed proposal here.
The same age limits apply to the ECI as to EU elections. But the ECI only proposes, but does not directly impact, policy. Many ECI topics are relevant to youth, helping to engage them in European public affairs. The Austrian model allowing 16-17 year old ECI supporters should be expanded to all Member States. Read our detailed proposal here.

Vitanovac is a village situated in Kraljevo municipality in Serbia., 30 miles south of Kragujevac. During World War I it was the location of a "Vitanovatz Dispensary" where nurses from the U.K. and British Commonwealth came to the aid of Serbia and in late 1915 with the Serbian army retreated through Montenegro and Albania to Greece instead of surrendering to the Central Powers.

Silicon microelectronics and biomedical domains could gain from a safe and economical way to synthesize nanoparticles.
Water and oil do not combine, but a research team at KAUST has exploited the different interfaces between these substances to make plasma generation in liquids more efficient 1,2. This method has potential for use in high-yield synthesis of nanomaterials from liquid reagents or for regulated elimination of water-borne parasites.
Common versions of plasmas in TV displays and neon signs use stable, charged particles in a gaseous state. But when created in water from nanosecond bursts of electricity, positive ions in the plasma cool down considerably compared to energetic hot electrons. The resulting non-thermal discharges can transfer energy to or from nearby molecules, making them potential influencers of chemical reactions.
Ahmad Hamdan, a postdoctoral researcher with Min Suk Cha, is aiming to broaden the impact of in-liquid plasmas by reducing common breakdown voltage requirements. Firstly, he and his coworkers injected miniature gas bubbles into liquids to upset the usual electric field and form regions of amplified intensity to tear charges apart. Regrettably, this plan tended to trap the hot electrons within the bubbles, separating them from prospective chemical targets.
These studies, however, exposed the variations in dielectric permittivity, a parameter that impacts how electric fields propagate in materials, played a crucial role in bubble-based field improvement. Hamdan understood that this occurrence could be reproduced by dipping an electrode into two liquids with diverse responses to electric fields-a layer of low-dielectric heptane oil on top of water, for instance.
By enhancing the electrode's position within the oil-water interface, Hamdan discovered he could produce plasmas in the liquids with 100% probability at lower than normal voltages. Furthermore, the plasma propagates along the interface with a five-fold improvement in discharge volume.
"This is interesting because the plasma is capable of decomposing both liquids without eroding the electrode," notes Hamdan. "This gives us the flexibility to try and turn a wide range of substances into novel nanomaterials."
As a demonstration, the team swapped the heptane layer with hexamethyldisilazane oil comprising nitrogen, silicon, and hydrocarbon atoms. When the nanosecond electrical discharges were applied to this oil-water interface, organosilicon nanoparticles were created at rapid rates-several milligrams per minute-safely confined inside the liquid medium. Additional post-processing produced species adequately stable for high-temperature microelectronic devices.
Vital to this research was the transmission electron microscopy offered by Dalaver Anjum at the Imaging and Characterization Core Lab of KAUST, which proved critical for determining relationships between silica nanoparticles of varying sizes and their dielectric properties. Additionally, a special electron prism on the microscope offered element-by-element breakdown of separate nanoparticle compositions.
The applications of this research are extensive. "We have demonstrated only part of the potential feasible applications," says Cha. "This novel idea can be extended to water purification, biomedical applications, and upgrade of low-quality liquid fuels; we will continue to work to make these applications tangible.

How to get in on the ground in the Netherlands election: How to join the political revolution
July 20, 2021July 20, 2021| adminadmin| 0 Comment | 4:56 pm
In the Netherlands, the country that is the country of the Netherlands and its people, a massive mobilization is underway in an effort to stop the next government.
This movement has seen millions of people come together and demonstrate in the streets of the country.
Many of these demonstrations have been in the name of a single candidate, but many have been about the same people that participated in the election campaign.
The election of Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who is currently seeking reelection, has become the most visible of the political rallies in recent weeks, and a key reason why it has drawn so much attention in the country, and in the world.
There is no doubt that this election is going to be very significant for the future of the United Kingdom, but it will also have a profound impact on the world, and that's the main reason why so many people are organizing in this campaign.
Mark Rutte is known for his liberal policies, but he is also known for a very different approach to the world that has left him with a number of very deep wounds.
He is a staunch supporter of the NATO alliance, and he has repeatedly expressed his concerns about the rise of Islamic extremism.
Many people have criticized him for this.
But it has been the other way around, and now he is taking his concerns to the international community, to the United Nations, and to the European Union.
It's important to understand how the campaign is taking place, and how people are trying to influence it.
This is the third time that the Netherlands is going through a major political rally.
There were many rallies in 2015, but this year, it is going all out, and people are gathering at all kinds of places to make their voices heard.
And this time around, a lot of the organizers are from different parts of the world — from the Netherlands to Turkey.
This campaign is not just about a single politician, and it is not a single party.
The idea is to bring together different groups of people, and the people that are participating are diverse and they are also part of a much broader movement that has been growing since the election of the U.K. to have a global democracy.
So this campaign is really a cross-sectoral, multigenerational, global campaign, and this is how the movement has been unfolding over the last several months.
It's a very international campaign, with people from all over the world coming together to help to make sure that our democracy is preserved.
The goal is to make our democracy more secure, more fair, more inclusive, and more democratic.
This is a very difficult campaign, but I'm sure it's going to take us a long time to accomplish this goal.
Mark is one of the most important people in this country, but also he is an incredibly difficult person to deal with, and when he's in the heat of the moment, he's very emotional.
But this campaign, it's really not that easy to handle, because there is no question that this is the most challenging election that has ever taken place in the United States.
The first time that we had a president elected with a clean majority, it was a pretty difficult time for people.
There was a lot going on, and there were so many things that needed to be done, and so many problems that needed solving.
But we've made tremendous strides in a short period of time, and I think that this campaign has demonstrated that.
There are still many things we still need to work on, but what we have now is a really, really strong coalition.
And so this is a moment where we are at a critical moment, and we have the ability to make some very big strides forward, because the stakes have been raised, and all of us have a lot to gain from this election.
In the Netherlands we've had a really tough time with the rise in extremism.
In 2015, we had many incidents in which we saw people being beaten or killed, but nothing like this.
Now there is a lot more attention being paid to the threat of Islamic terrorism.
People are looking to make this election a success, and they've mobilized.
They're coming together, they're having rallies, they are organizing.
They are very engaged.
I think this is really important to see.
I really think that the campaign in the U!
has been very important.
It has been a real catalyst for people to come together, and also for people who are concerned about the situation to come out and be heard.
It is important for people from other countries to be part of this campaign in order to make a difference, to make things happen.
This campaign is very much about our democracy.

Venezuela's opposition has taken a hit after one of its leading members announced he was leaving the coalition.
Henrique Capriles, an ex-presidential candidate, said the move was in protest at the decision by four newly elected opposition governors to pledge allegiance to the constituent assembly.
The Roundtable for Democracy (MUD) regards the assembly as illegitimate.
Four elected opposition governors caved in to the ANC yesterday, making everyone with common sense, a memory, and the ability to feel shame, look foolish.
The governor of the central state of Miranda, who spoke as "leader of the MUD" at a press conference, said that the first of the coalition's requests is for a "humanitarian channel" to be established so that other Latin American nations may send containers of food and medicine to the country to alleviate scarcity in those areas.
"What are we expecting on Friday, gentlemen of the government? Pick up the telephone, open up a humanitarian channel in Venezuela immediately, in the next few hours," he said.
Capriles also said that on Nov. 11, when the second meeting among the participants in the dialogue process is to be held, including representatives from the Union of South American Nations, or Unasur, and The Vatican, it will be announced when "general elections" will be held.
"There's no way that there will be economic change in Venezuela while these same people remain in the government. These people have no way to change, they believe that they are fantastic, that they are making better decisions. They are defending their model, so they're not going to change," he added.
The MUD leader said, however, that the prospective general elections do not nullify the demand for a referendum to revoke Maduro's mandate since such a plebiscite could lead to other elections.
He also said that, taking into account that the terms of two of the five members of the National Election Council will lapse on Dec. 4, MUD hopes that new election officials will be agreed to within the dialogue framework prior to that date.
He also called for "respect" for the National Assembly, where the opposition holds a majority, given that the decisions the chamber has taken have been annulled by the Supreme Court, which MUD accuses of rubber-stamping the government's decisions.
The other two points MUD is insisting on have to do with releasing people it considers to be political prisoners and incorporating the defense minister, Gen. Vladimir Padrino Lopez, into the dialogue process "as the top representative of the armed forces" to guarantee that the agreements are complied with.
Over at Caracas Chronicles, Francisco Toro doesn't have a clue as to What will President Trump mean for Venezuela?
As mentioned earlier, Nicolás Maduro declared a three-month state of emergency broadening the scope of an economic emergency decree in effect since January that was set to expire last Saturday.
Yesterday the National Assembly voted to reject Maduro's decree.
Venezuela's opposition has come out in open defiance of the government of President Nicolás Maduro, telling its supporters to ignore the state of emergency decreed over the weekend. "If Maduro wants to apply the decree, then he should start bringing out the tanks. We're not going to accept it, and I am calling on the country to take no notice of the decree. I am saying this to the armed forces, for whom the moment of truth is coming… We don't want a military solution, but this is unacceptable," said leading opposition figure Hector Capriles [sic], the governor of the state of Miranda, on Tuesday.
The BBC reported Wednesday that opposition leader Henrique Capriles accused Maduro of "putting himself above the constitution" by imposing emergency powers on the oil-rich nation. "I tell the armed forces: The hour of truth is coming, to decide whether you are with the constitution or with Maduro," Capriles said.
Even the phrase "falling apart" fails to convey the scale of destruction that has befallen the country. To capture a sense of it one must turn to the vivid prose ofNicholas Casey of the New York Times complemented by the accompanying gruesome photographs. He describes hospitals that are places where patients lie in rotting mattresses or in pools of their own blood. Where doctors amputate the limbs of patients because they have no antibiotics to treat simple infections. Where doctors and nurses take turns operating respirators by hand — the machinery sometimes broken and without power anyway — until they simply collapse from exhaustion and helplessly watch their patients die.
Yet this same scene is one which Nicolas Maduro — like Corbyn and Sirota 3 years earlier — still has the effrontery to view with satisfaction: "I doubt that anywhere in the world, except in Cuba, there exists a better health system than this one". In this phrase all is clear.

Venezuela's National Guard has clashed with opposition demonstrators who were marching on the headquarters of the country's election commission.
Venezuelan police used tear gas twice against opposition presidential candidate Henrique Capriles as he was trying to participate in a march to the National Election Council in downtown Caracas, the access to which was blocked by officers.Capriles, who is also governor of Miranda state, was affected by tear gas sprayed at him by a Bolivarian National Police officer as he was trying to negotiate passage for the protesters into the downtown area.
The demonstration was intended to pressure the CNE to move to the second phase of organizing a referendum to recall President Nicolas Maduro.
Let me see if it posts bigger this time. This is Caracas today. These are hungry Venezuelans protesting that their children are dying from lack of food and medicine. That they have not enough water or electricity. This is a country with more oil than Saudi Arabia. And the government has stolen all the money and now they bottleneck peaceful protesters and threaten them with bombs (I know: I have friends in the crowd). Or haul them to prison and torture them. Are you still thrilled with your Bolivarian Revolution all you buddies of the late Hugo Chávez: Oliver Stone, Naomi Campbell, Sean Penn and the editors of The Guardian newspaper? Is this what you wanted all you idiot celebrity apologists? Are these the human rights you had in mind for us? Your silence is deafening. Stand up and be counted. Admit your mistakes and turn on the oppressors you once so vehemently supported and used your media power to enable. Why don't you go make a documentary about this, Oliver Stone?
The problem for the regime is not how to replace Maduro but with what.
President Maduro told his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, that the main goal of his trip was to further consolidate and expand the strategic partnership between the two countries that late President Hugo Chávez began with Chinese leaders. Chávez died in March after 14 years in power.
The two leaders signed 12 agreements on Sunday, including ones related to a finance fund deal, education, and a joint development between Chinese state-owned oil producer Sinopec and Venezuela's national oil company. They also signed a cooperation and exchange agreement between China's space flight administration and Venezuela's science and innovation ministry relating to remote satellites. No details were given on any of the agreements.
The $5 billion will be invested in the country, through a credit from the China Development Bank (BDC) for the financing of strategic projects in the field of health, science road, transport, technology, industry, electricity and mining, which will improve the quality of life of the Venezuelans.
"With this Bank funding we will develop also the Las Cristinas mine. All for the benefit of our beloved people," wrote Maduro about the long delayed gold mining project.

It so happens that the governor of Miranda is Henrique Capriles, opposition leader.
More on Maduro's Chinese deal at Caracas Chronicles.
The event took place amid growing criticism that Capriles had wasted an opportunity in the days following the April election, when many of the millions of Venezuelans who voted for him were willing to take to the streets to protest and he asked them to stay home.

The patented ball and socket mounting system used by RAM Mounts allows the devices to outperform similar products on the market. These mounts are so well-engineered, in fact, that you can even use them with some products right out of the box. Many Tom Tom GPS units, for example, are designed to fit seamlessly into a RAM mount. Direct installation means that your electronics will fit as if they're OEM. RAM products offer more than a device to hold your GPS unit, however. These handy motorcycle accessories can also function as a camera mounting point, give you a place to hold your smart phone and even function as a cup holder.
For most people, this sort of functionality may have been previously unimaginable in a bike. Thanks to RAM, riders are getting access to the same creature comforts that automobile drivers take advantage of. Whatever your particular needs are, more than likely, RAM Mounts makes a product that's specially engineered to address them.

Band Spotlight: Charly Bliss
– May 8, 2019Posted in: Band, Spotlight
In our next Band Spotlight, we chat to Eva Hendricks of Charly Bliss about new music, and defining success as a band.
Hi guys, how are you today?
Hey!! We're great! We're driving from Berlin to Paris right now and enjoying some relaxing time in the van!
How do you look at the success of 'Guppy' now?
We all feel so proud and so thrilled with how Guppy was received. By the time it came out, we had already been a band for about six years. Things had always moved really slowly for us and it was really mind-blowing to see how quickly people caught onto the record.
What advice would you give to other young artists who are inspired by your work, on how to make an impact as you have done?
Fake it until you make it!!! I think when I first started playing music, I felt a lot of pressure to be really great and perfect at everything before we played a show or before I showed anyone the songs I was writing. It's as easy as deciding you want to do it and then going for it! And the only way to get better is by diving in and trying and failing and trying again. I also think it's important to remember that everything takes time. Once I've heard the final recorded version of a song that we've written, I sometimes forget that there was a long time when it wasn't working, or didn't sound cool, or needed work.
It's important to be patient, both with your songs and with building a fan base. I have so many happy memories of playing shows that no one except our parents and roommates came to, and being totally floored by reaching really silly milestones, like hitting 100 fans on Facebook. It's important to try to have fun and enjoy every different stage! It should be fun!!
How do you define success as a band?
We are really ambitious and competitive with ourselves. We're always trying to improve our live show and when we're writing, we go over everything again and again to make sure that it's the best version possible. It takes a lot for us to feel proud and satisfied, so I feel like success is getting to a point where we feel that we've done our best and are on our way to doing something even more exciting.
What direct experiences led to the creation of 'Hard To Believe' – what inspired that track?
Sam came to practice one day with this insanely catchy riff, and we just ran it over and over again for weeks because it felt so fun to play. When we eventually decided to turn it into a full song, I looked back in my diary and found a line that was like "I wanna make out with everyone so that I don't make out with you." I had written it when I was in an interminable on again / off again relationship. I remembered being so sick of the same fights that we'd had over and over again and wanting so badly to cut the cord, but I couldn't seem to get up the nerve to fully leave it behind. I wrote a lot about this relationship on our first album Guppy, but I feel like you can gain a lot from revisiting certain experiences with the benefit of perspective. When I wrote about it on our first album, I think I sounded really angry. Writing about it this time around, the lyrics sound more disappointed and sad than anything.
What would you say that the biggest challenges you face, as a "successful" band are now?
Paying our rent is still really hard! We try to put almost all of the money that we earn from shows and merch back into the band account so that we can grow our business, but that leaves us with very little money to pay ourselves out at the end of every month.
What's keeping you motivated now, outside of music – think people, places and movies for example?
The people who love our band keep us motivated. So much for the writing process is really isolating and private, and it's been really wonderful starting to play shows and get to see and talk to the people who care about our music. It's really easy to doubt yourself, but it gives you so much perspective when right in front of your face are people who connect with and care about what you do. It's also extremely exciting that we're getting to see so much of the world because of this album. We're in Europe for the first time right now, and later this summer we'll go to Australia. It is absolutely mind-blowing that all of this is happening because we decided to form a band eight years ago. With everything that's already happened, I can't wait to see what happens next!
