Are you an remoted worker who's already chastised for not getting dressed within the morning? Or, did you end up over-explaining your productiveness throughout the week? If so, it's attainable that you just had been working at residence (WFH) responsible. Though it could sound foolish, the guilt of the WFH is a actuality. It's that barely shameful feeling that you just get on account of a versatile job. Lately, I've constructed my profession within the consolation of my own residence, so I do know her nicely. I present high quality profession providers to purchasers I'm actually blissful to work with however typically I really feel responsible doing it at residence.
To be sincere, distance work has come a good distance. Just some years in the past, working dad and mom, frequent vacationers and digital nomads struggled for extra flexibility of their work. Whereas some staff argue for at the least at some point of distant work per week, others have discovered how you can do what they love with out ever leaving residence. So, whether or not you're working remotely on a regular basis, often or not (and dealing on it), you possibly can defeat the guilt of your WFH in three easy steps.
One of many most typical stigmas amongst distant staff is that they're chilly within the clock. Curiously, after I was an inside worker, I used to be by no means accused of staying quiet throughout working hours. Getting up and going to work was sufficient to "persuade" those who I used to be an energetic (and subsequently productive) member of the workforce. After I began working at residence, individuals began asking questions resembling, "Do you are taking naps throughout the day?" (I do), "Do you're employed in pajamas?" (I do it completely) and "Do you're employed at common hours? ? "(Sure … if you happen to contemplate that 12 hours are regular). Distance work at all times rivals our definition of "common work". Thankfully, if you happen to meet work deadlines, if you happen to meet the objectives of the group and keep responsive throughout work hours, you might be simply as productive as an inside worker.
Don't be afraid, the info is in your aspect! The inhabitants of distant employees has elevated by greater than 11% since 2008. So, if you happen to work at home, you might be in good firm. To not point out that fewer commuters on the highway results in a lower in air air pollution and a lower in highway site visitors. You additionally boast of elevated worker engagement and elevated effectivity. Furthermore, in 2014, PGI concluded that 82% of distant employees reported low stress due to better work flexibility. Staff with extra satisfaction, dedication and effectivity are a win for the supervisor, the corporate and even for the surroundings. Even if you happen to really feel slightly complacent when working from residence, don't forget that the statistics are good for you. So long as you utilize your work time positively, you possibly can spend your day with out guilt.
Distant employees are inclined to have fewer distractions than inside staff, leading to quicker turnaround instances. In the event you end an early challenge, combat the urge to buy groceries or watch Netflix. As a substitute, begin the following challenge. Delete your inbox, replace your calendar or register together with your group to see if you happen to may help them. Don't really feel obligated to work throughout your lunch break simply since you are at residence – take breaks as wanted. Head to your espresso store, bookstore, or shared workspace once you wish to change settings. Taking advantage of your workday will assist you to really feel much less responsible and extra energetic to your work.
In the long run, your guilt for the WFH is said to what individuals assume you do and what you truly do. Your colleagues, your managers, and even your loved ones and buddies might have a false impression of your work day, however you don't have to really feel responsible about their notion of labor from a distance. Your job is to be a hard-working member of the group, who respects company insurance policies and finest practices, like everybody else. In any case, you got a distant activity as a result of you are able to do the work from home, on the workplace or elsewhere. So log in on the time, rise up and get to work!

Radioeat, Exquisite Maison de la Radio
Like an eagle's nest with an enveloping wooden structure, Radioeat could easily be the haunt of a slightly tipsy spy looking for a discreet stakeout to gather vital information. At least that's how architect Stéphane Maupin imagined it, with his culture of non-standard spaces and a formula that's right on target. Poached by Éric Walper, the pair – having proved themselves on the Tokyo Eat project at the Palais de Tokyo – has succeeded in deconsecrating the fortress of information that is Maison de la Radio. With them, roles are reversed Radioeat has become a stage and the diners, the main protagonists in a show that takes place on the first floor. In this Seine cinematographic gallery, life is reasserting itself. Young music lovers heading for the neighbouring auditorium pass by, some with their grandparents, some with friends, while visitors' conversations joyfully permeate the air. An accompaniment of choice for the cuisine of chef Thierry Brassard, designed to get everyone singing from the same hymn-sheet. A foodie peep-show where it's good to see without being seen, Radioeat could have stopped there. The set-up of the dining room might have been complicated because of its location and the space itself, but Stéphane Maupin has tackled an even more complicated challenge: Le Belair. A newly opened bar in warm colours with flattering lighting, this space was basically just a tangle of fragmented rooms. Awoken from its slumbers by the architect and his team – who didn't hesitate to furnish it totally unique chairs found at the Salone del Mobile – Le Belair completes the lifestyle transformation of the cultural space with the best view in Paris.
Radioeat, Maison de la Radio 1st floor Galerie Seine: 116 Avenue du Président Kennedy – 75016 Paris.
Éric, Stéphane, how did the idea for the project come about?
It was all pretty routine: La Maison de la Radio, like many other cultural institutions, wanted to find a home where it could be more than just a media stronghold full of information. After the building was renovated, an auditorium with over 1,450 seats was added, completing the range of facilities offered by the legendary Studio 104. It now also serves as a concert hall and show venue. It therefore only made sense for it to add a restaurant and bar.
Why did you choose to work with Stéphane Maupin?
I had already worked with Stéphane on the Palais de Tokyo project and I enjoyed working together. In addition to his talent, I like his curiosity, his flexibility, and his ability to listen to you. I also like the fact that he doesn't take himself too seriously and that he demystifies his role as an architect. That doesn't prevent some friction from arising, because being a good architect requires a degree of conviction and passion, and the ability to avoid losing your way when negotiating your way through the forest of technical and financial constraints. Stéphane is a government accredited architect who builds tower blocks. He has this outsize cultural approach and he thinks and acts on a global scale. In terms of building spaces that I love, often on a grand scale, he's the go-to guy. In this respect, we complement each other.
Stéphane, where did you get your inspiration for the project?
A project starts by meeting over cocktails! What does my client want? Where is the location? What does the location want? What do I want (or rather, as Renzo Piano said, what does the Virgin Mary want?) Éric wanted an elegant space that wouldn't detract from what was already there? The location wanted to continue its existence, with its own space, its views over the Seine and the skyscrapers opposite, its endless geometry, and its butterflies. And the Virgin Mary wanted to include the spaceship from 2001: A Space Odyssey by Kubrick. I had a vision of lycra-clad servers running effortlessly to serve customers draped over Djinn seats by Olivier Mourgue. Gastronomy has a lot in common with astronomy. It seems that the Virgin lost out. She would have no choice but to give in, given the forceful argument that the space made for itself: giant plate glass windows and a cinematic view of the outside. A daily rhythm of light, with vertical shafts of light illuminating the pillars. The alternating wooden slats cover the ceilings and the walls. Finally, the use to which the space would be put was the impetus for everything. The venue had to host two distinct groups of people without being overwhelmed: music lovers visiting the auditorium and foodies in the restaurant. Rather than a screen separating the two groups, we decided to come up with a way of preserving the perception of outdoor space for everyone. The result is a bench that creates a parallax effect that provides a degree of privacy while allowing as much light as possible to get through. A digestive peep-show, allowing you to see and not be seen.
What technical challenges did this involve?
The dining area was installed in the lobby of the auditorium. As such, the gallery could not feature any flammable materials, because it had to provide a high degree protection in the event of a fire. We put a lot of pressure on our suppliers to find and build ultra fire-resistant furniture. The work also had to be done as quietly as possible. That's not easy in a location that is built to diffuse sound. Installing the bar was also complicated. The space was divided up into a series of smaller rooms. The entire space had a very flow ceiling with an avalanche of pipes to allow to pass through for ventilation and breathing: a nightmare! The challenge involved increasing the space, and also making it appear bigger.
Which materials did you use, and why?
The restaurant uses wood for many different reasons. Its warmth, the way it goes well with the existing décor, and its excellent characteristics in the event of a fire. Finally, the ease with which it can be used to make a one-piece bench with no joints! The bench is, therefore, no more than a vast trunk cut to size. A horizontal totem pole. It echoes the works on the ground floor by the artist, François Stahly. The bar also uses aluminium, or more precisely, Luxalon. It's a product that was created in the 1970s that was done to death because it occupied virtually all the entrance halls of large building projects. It was the perfect choice for a revival in a building with such strong links to the past.
What type of food is on offer at the restaurant?
I have no idea how to cook, but I love to eat. This lack of ability frees me from any inhibitions or limits when it comes to cooking. The menu was created in conjunction with Thierry Bassard, our chef partner. We offer the food we want to eat, without any preconceived notions or any vague concept. Thierry has enough talent to make our desires come to life while enjoying the chance to express himself as a cook. The menu has a wide spectrum of different choices, influences, and prices. Teenagers can come and eat with their grand parents, and no one will feel like it's a chore because there's something for anyone: teenagers can enjoy a burger that deserves its place on the menu, while older people can enjoy a Dover sole or cod in aioli. The blend of genres is key to success and we hope that we'll achieve it.
How would you sum up Radioeat in a few words?
It's a brasserie where people shouldn't be afraid of sitting down just for a coffee, spending time, meeting up, eating, drinking, and chatting. It's a space for living!
The bar is inspired by a sanctuary for the secret agent, OSS117, in his Versailles chateau. The restaurant is a kind of rowing club with an eight boat on the way to Cambridge!

Hackney Wick's trees are decked with colour for the Olympics
Sarah Ingrams
The trees of Hackney Wick are decked with colourful artwork which will be revealed tonight to coincide with the Olympic opening ceremony.
The Wick Woven Web is made from more than 500 larger-than-life woven friendship bracelets, made by over 250 people at community events last weekend.
They have been joined together to form a web-like art installation tied to a tree in the newly-reopened Wick Village Green.
The artists behind the project, Beccy McCray, from Shoreditch, and Hannah Elbourne, from Hackney, said it took two days and a scaffolding tower to hang the artwork in the tree.
Beccy said: "It's like a psychedelic treehouse. Our initial brief was to create a project in celebration of the creativity in Hackney Wick.
"It's an area we all love. A couple of years ago we did a project in Victoria Park we wanted to make bigger. We made a human cats' cradle wrapped all around lots of trees. Passers-by interacted really well with it.
"We were interested in the idea of folk trees and totems. The main concept is that we wanted to create a project where people could come and work together. We wanted it to be created from as many unwanted fabrics from east London as possible. It's literally made from the fabric of the community."
The bracelets were made at Crafternoon Tea Club sessions at Mabley Green festival last Saturday and outside the Hackney Pearl caf� on Sunday.
The Wick Woven Web is at Wick Village Green for the duration of the Games.

Global Trends Driving Increased Aluminum Demand
Alcoa Honors Retiring Director Joseph T. Gorman at Annual Shareholders Meeting
PITTSBURGH--The world is undergoing fundamental shifts that will shape the next 50 years -- trends that will increase demand for aluminum and products made by Alcoa, Company Chairman and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld told investors at Alcoa's 123rd Annual Meeting of Shareholders, held today in Pittsburgh.
Kleinfeld also reported that the company's joint venture in Saudi Arabia is on schedule, and he paid tribute to retiring director Joseph T. Gorman, a member of the Alcoa board since 1991.
Kleinfeld presented an upbeat view of an "aluminizing" world, where population growth and urbanization are driving demand for more efficient infrastructure and transportation solutions.
"The world is experiencing fundamental shifts that will shape the next 50 years," Kleinfeld said. "We will experience changes in all aspects of life – where we live, what we consume, how we travel. These trends are driving worldwide growth and demand for aluminum."
The result will be expanding opportunities for those who are quick to innovate, which Kleinfeld called "a major sustainable advantage" for Alcoa.
"By understanding our customers and our customers' customers, we are constantly creating value-added solutions," he said.
Alcoa is projecting growth in nearly all end markets in 2011, including major markets such as automotive and aerospace, as society increasingly demands more efficient cars to meet emission standards and lighter, more fuel-efficient and comfortable airplanes. "Each of these markets is growing and evolving. We will capture this growth through our innovative new applications and our unique connection to our customers," Kleinfeld said.
Aluminizing the World
Alcoa expects a 6.5 percent compound annual growth rate in aluminum demand, or roughly a doubling in global consumption and supply by 2020 from a 2010 baseline.
"The number of applications where aluminum is the material of choice is expanding and that foreshadows staggering growth for our miracle metal. This growth, in turn, will cause growth in both bauxite and alumina," Kleinfeld said.
In bauxite, Alcoa forecasts growth from 214 million metric tons per year (mtpy) to 400 million mtpy. In alumina, growth from 82 million mtpy to 156 million mtpy is expected, and, in aluminum, Alcoa foresees growth from 39 million mtpy to 73 million mtpy.
Solid Progress on Ma'aden Joint Venture
Kleinfeld also updated shareholders on the status of Alcoa's joint venture project with Ma'aden, the Saudi Arabian Mining Company. The joint venture will feature the Middle East's first fully integrated aluminum smelter and food-grade can sheet rolling mill. All major equipment has been ordered, and groundbreaking on the state-of-the-art rolling mill in Ras Az Zawr, Saudi Arabia, took place last month. First commercial production from the 740,000-mtpy smelter – which will include a potline that is an astounding one-mile long – and 380,000-mtpy rolling mill is scheduled for 2013. The bauxite mine and refinery are set to begin operations in 2014. The mine will have initial capacity of 4 million mtpy and the alumina refinery an initial capacity of 1.8 million mtpy.
Retiring Director, New Executive VP and Shareholder Votes
In other business, Kleinfeld recognized retiring director Joseph T. Gorman, Chairman and CEO of Moxahela Enterprises LLC, a venture capital firm, and former chairman of TRW, Inc., a global company serving the automotive, space and information systems markets.
"Joe is retiring after 20 years of service as an Alcoa director. Just last year, under his leadership as Chairman of the Compensation and Benefits Committee, the group undertook a comprehensive review of executive compensation to ensure compliance with good governance practices," Kleinfeld said. "For two decades, Joe has shared with Alcoa his deep business experience, which he gained as Chairman and CEO of TRW. We have all benefited greatly from his steady counsel and commitment to Alcoa's success."
With the retirement of Mr. Gorman, there are now 10 members on Alcoa's Board of Directors.
In addition, Alcoa's Board of Directors elected Dr. Raymond J. Kilmer an executive vice president of Alcoa. He was recently named Chief Technology Officer, succeeding Dr. Mohammad Zaidi, who will retire August 1, 2011.
The following preliminary voting results were announced at the meeting: Kleinfeld, James W. Owens, retired Chairman and CEO of Caterpillar Inc., and Ratan N. Tata, Chairman Tata Sons Ltd., the holding company of the Tata Group, were elected for new three-year terms expiring in 2014. Shareholders approved an advisory vote on executive compensation and supported an annual advisory vote on executive compensation. An annual cash incentive compensation plan was approved and retention of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the independent auditors was ratified. Elimination of the super-majority voting requirements did not receive sufficient shareholder support for approval. Advisory votes on two shareholder proposals were approved by a majority of the votes cast at the meeting. Final results will be filed on a Form 8-K within four business days of the meeting.

Research Park Plan Looks to Fuel Co ...
Research Park Plan Looks to Fuel Collaboration
Paul Paolatto has seen the shift. Now, he wants Western and the City of London to take advantage of it.
Once viewed as too institutional by industry leaders, university-led research parks have evolved into "marquee addresses" for those seeking a deeper collaboration between industry and the academe.
"It gives them preferred access to great knowledge and high-performance people – not only faculty, but students as well," said the Western Research Parks executive director. "They are starting to appreciate that."
Now, with slightly more than four months at the helm, Paolatto leads the charge into a new future for the university's research parks network, an ambitious decade-long plan he feels will re-invigorate innovation on this campus and beyond. His plans went public this week.
Discovery Park was recently in the news as it was cited as a possible home for the headquarters of the Medical Innovation and Commercialization Network, a discussed partnership between the city, the university's medical school, London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph's Health Care and their foundations, as well as the Lawson Health Research Institute. The park would provide a single home where medical device ideas would be developed, tested and marketed through the network, drawing on the strengths of those in London's medical community.
It's the kind of big thinking, Paolatto said, that will fuel the next step in the evolution of the facilities.
According to his plan, the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) will remain focused on "big ticket manufacturing" for the next generation. With high-profile projects like Western's Wind Engineering, Energy and Environment (WindEEE) Research Institute, as well as the Fraunhofer Project Centre, the facility is exploding, a chain reaction Paolatto looks to continue.
"At AMP, we would like to create the next hub of advanced manufacturing in Canada," he said.
Discovery Park, however, is where the most high-profile changes could occur. At that facility, Paolatto hopes to develop a strong bias toward "convergence sciences."
"You're starting to see more marriages between health and engineering, engineering and aeronautics. So, the idea is to bias toward those fields of study, those research strengths of the university," he said. "We're not in the business of running a park on a standalone basis. What we're looking to do is find opportunities that allow us to work in partnership with the university and create economic opportunities in the community."
That latter point, in part, brought Paolatto to the City of London Investment and Economic Prosperity Committee this week.
The city invests $200,000 annually in the Stiller Centre, a life sciences facility in Discovery Park. During his presentation to committee members, Paolatto sought city support for infrastructure – road access, lighting, signage. In exchange, he offered to return the city's annual investment starting in 2016.
For the committee, he outlined some of the changes that have been rattling around Western. "What we're talking about here is subject to lots of approvals and lots of work over the next decade," Paolatto said, "but this is what we're targeting."
His pitch included a number of changes over the next decade to Discovery Park includinig:
Recognizing a need to make it more visible, the plan would open up access to the park from Western Road for a "more pronounced and a more welcoming connection to the community," Paolatto said. As part of that, the current buildings along Western Road would be "turned" – shifting the main entrances to face campus and the hospital.
The current Convergence Centre would be twinned. That new building would house biomedical imaging, providing a unifying space for one of the university's major research strengths.
A Medical Innovation and Commercialization Network would be developed, providing a single home where medical device ideas would be developed, tested and marketed through the network, drawing on the strengths of those in London's medical community. This could include the relocation of Fowler-Kennedy from its "land-locked" location on campus to the park.
The plan calls for the development of the International Innovation Village, a Western-style MaRS Discovery District. "We need to create a focal-point for our innovators. We're putting out a lot of companies here, and those companies need a supportive structure." As part of that, Windermere Manor would transition from a hotel to a live-in or long-term residence.
In total, the price tag for the entire project is $90 million – $70 million at Discovery Park, $20 at AMP. That money has not been found yet ("All we have to do is figure out how to pay for it," he laughed.). But for a facility contributing $130 million to region annually, Paolatto sees it as well worth the investment.
After substantial investments by the university, in terms of both funds and land, to develop the parks initially, Paolatto knows the park cannot depend on university subsidies to continue forward. "We want to pay our own way," he said.
Tenant rents drive the financial sustainability of the parks. Discovery Park is at 97 per cent capacity, so growth of physical space is not only a key to its financial stability, but also a response to industry demand.
"There are a growing number of tenants – both small and large – looking to closely align themselves with the university," he said.
"Those are opportunities for the university, for our community and for the park. We are looking for ways to accommodate them."
For him, the Discovery Park rally cry over the next decade is "double it" – from 200,000 to 400,000 square feet of space, from 700 to 1,400 jobs, from three or four leading companies to six or seven, from 30 to 60 incubated companies.
"Those are the metrics we are shooting for, but we don't have the space," he said. "There is a pent-up demand to get in here. We're going to try and answer it."
Parks at a glance
Opened in 1989, the original research park, recently renamed Western Discovery Park, tucked into the corner of Windermere and Western roads, is home to more than 200,000 square feet of office space, lab space and industrial grade space, including the Stiller Centre for Technology Commercialization, one of Canada's most successful biotechnology incubators.
A second park, the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP), a 10-hectare site located alongside Highway 401, is home to two high-profile Western projects – the Fraunhofer Project Centre and the soon-to-open WindEEE Dome.
Discovery Park and AMP are wholly owned by Western, however the relationship remains at arm's length. The Research Parks executive director answers to a board of directors, composed mainly of university officials.
The Western-Sarnia-Lambton Research Park, a 30-hectare facility south of Highway 402, was established a decade ago as part of a joint initiative between Western, Lambton County and the City of Sarnia. The facility is home to the Bowman Centre for Technology Commercialization, Canada's largest clean-tech incubator.
Western does not own the Sarnia research park; the university only provides management services to Lambton County. That contract expires in March 2014.
In total, more than 1,100 employees – from students to scientists to seasoned leaders – are employed in Western's research parks boasting more than 70 tenants from start-ups to multinationals.

An Evaluation Hash Table may be used in a similar fashion as the transposition table, that is using Zobrist- or BCH-hashing, to cache various computational expensive positional evaluation scores and flags. Despite the fact that the transposition table entries may contain evaluation scores as well, a tighter, dedicated evaluation hash table with its own replacement policy may gain a considerable amount of additional hits.

That's got to be frustrating. It's a little surprising, though, that more than one person would pick Mom-NOS as a handle. But I'm not in the same circles.
HA! Since I use my RL name, which is Pia and so far, in the bloggosphere, is a little like being called "Cher" or "Bono", it works out a-ok. I have always smiled at the Mom-NOS byline, tho, because now that we are NOS as well, it resonates well. However, it is good that you link back... a very good way to know it is YOU.
Sometimes it is hard to know if another person has already "claimed" the identity you are going for in the blogging community.
And since the blogging community is so huge, you may not know for quite some time.
I hope you get it all figured out.
Heh -- that was an issue I wasn't considering when I chose "JoyMama" but one might guess that other JoyMamas out there did not name themselves for their daughters' pseudonyms! Fortunately they seem to travel in FAR different circles.
Omg... JoyMama just made me spew coffee onto my monitor.
oh, honey .. there's only one REAL mom-nos. and i have to say, it could be worse. much like what i assume joy mama implies, i found some pretty um interesting stuff when i started playing around with 'diary of a mom'. i'm no prude, but holy hell, that stuff would have made jenna jameson blush.
As far as I'm concerned, you, my friend, are the one, the only, Mom-NOS (no substitutes accepted). You were one of the first to comment and read my blog 'way back' in the summer of 2005 and I still remember how happy I was to discover your writing.
That said, I can see why the moniker would appeal to others.
But I would feel a bit odd to find another AutismVox!
The Romans named girls numerically: Claudia Prima, Claudia Secunda, Claudia Tertia: You're surely Prima, at least in our little Autismland household here.
I have just started blogging and ran across your blog. I am a mother of four boys we adopted, two on the spectrum. I just wanted to reach out to other mom's that may know a little of my day to day struggles.
Fortunately, there's apparently only one Blade in Fairlington.
I'm actually commenting to let you know that I finally downloaded Up On the Ridge. It's everything you and Bud say it is.
How about signing yourself "Bud's Mom--NOS"?

Cadmium is a chemical element with symbol Cd and atomic number 48. This soft, bluish-white metal is chemically similar to the two other stable metals in group 12, zinc and mercury. Like zinc, it prefers oxidation state +2 in most of its compounds and like mercury it shows a low melting point compared to transition metals. Cadmium and its congeners are not always considered transition metals, in that they do not have partly filled d or f electron shells in the elemental or common oxidation states. The average concentration of cadmium in Earth's crust is between 0.1 and 0.5 parts per million (ppm). It was discovered in 1817 simultaneously by Stromeyer and Hermann, both in Germany, as an impurity in zinc carbonate.
Cadmium occurs as a minor component in most zinc ores and therefore is a byproduct of zinc production. It was used for a long time as a carbonic anhydrase has been found in marine diatoms.

Cadmium is a soft, malleable, ductile, bluish-white divalent metal. It is similar in many respects to zinc but forms complex compounds.[4] Unlike most other metals, cadmium is resistant to corrosion and as a result it is used as a protective layer when deposited on other metals. As a bulk metal, cadmium is insoluble in water and is not flammable; however, in its powdered form it may burn and release toxic fumes.[5]
Although cadmium usually has an oxidation state of +2, it also exists in the +1 state. Cadmium and its congeners are not always considered transition metals, in that they do not have partly filled d or f electron shells in the elemental or common oxidation states.[6] Cadmium burns in air to form brown amorphous cadmium oxide (CdO); the crystalline form of this compound is a dark red which changes color when heated, similar to zinc oxide. Hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid dissolve cadmium by forming cadmium chloride (CdCl2), cadmium sulfate (CdSO4), or cadmium nitrate (Cd(NO3)2). The oxidation state +1 can be reached by dissolving cadmium in a mixture of cadmium chloride and aluminium chloride, forming the Cd22+ cation, which is similar to the Hg22+ cation in mercury(I) chloride.[4]
Cd + CdCl2 + 2 AlCl3 → Cd2(AlCl4)2
The structures of many cadmium complexes with nucleobases, amino acids and vitamins have been determined.[7]
Cadmium-selective sensors
Cadmium-selective sensors, based on the fluorophore BODIPY have been developed for imaging and sensing of cadmium in cells[8]
The cadmium-113 total cross section clearly showing the cadmium cut-off
Naturally occurring cadmium is composed of 8 isotopes. Two of them are naturally radioactive, and three are expected to decay but have not been experimentally confirmed to do so. The two natural radioactive isotopes are 113Cd (beta decay, half-life is 7.7 × 1015 years) and 116Cd (two-neutrino double beta decay, half-life is 2.9 × 1019 years). The other three are 106Cd, 108Cd (both double electron capture), and 114Cd (double beta decay); only lower limits on their half-life times have been set. At least three isotopes – 110Cd, 111Cd, and 112Cd – are stable. Among the isotopes that do not occur naturally, the most long-lived are 109Cd with a half-life of 462.6 days, and 115Cd with a half-life of 53.46 hours. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than 2.5 hours, and the majority of these have half-lives that are less than 5 minutes. Cadmium has 8 known meta states, with the most stable being 113mCd (t1/2 = 14.1 years), 115mCd (t1/2 = 44.6 days), and 117mCd (t1/2 = 3.36 hours).[9]
The known isotopes of cadmium range in atomic mass from 94.950 u (95Cd) to 131.946 u (132Cd). For isotopes lighter than 112 u, the primary decay mode is electron capture and the dominant decay product is element 47 (silver). Heavier isotopes decay mostly through beta emission producing element 49 (indium).[9]
One isotope of cadmium, 113Cd, absorbs neutrons with very high probability if they have an energy below the cadmium cut-off and transmits them otherwise. The cadmium cut-off is about 0.5 eV. Neutrons with energy below the cut-off are deemed slow neutrons, distinguishing them from intermediate and fast neutrons.[10]
Cadmium is created via the long s-process in low-medium mass stars with masses of 0.6 to 10 solar masses, which lasts thousands of years. It requires a silver atom to capture a neutron and then undergo beta decay.[11]
Friedrich Stromeyer
Cadmium (Latin cadmia, Greek καδμεία meaning "calamine", a cadmium-bearing mixture of minerals, which was named after the Greek mythological character Κάδμος, Cadmus, the founder of Thebes) was discovered simultaneously in 1817 by Friedrich Stromeyer[12] and Karl Samuel Leberecht Hermann, both in Germany, as an impurity in zinc carbonate.[3] Stromeyer found the new element as an impurity in zinc carbonate (calamine), and, for 100 years, Germany remained the only important producer of the metal. The metal was named after the Latin word for calamine, because it was found in this zinc compound. Stromeyer noted that some impure samples of calamine changed color when heated but pure calamine did not. He was persistent in studying these results and eventually isolated cadmium metal by roasting and reduction of the sulfide. The possibility to use cadmium yellow as pigment was recognized in the 1840s but the lack of cadmium limited this application.[13][14][15]
Even though cadmium and its compounds may be toxic in certain forms and concentrations, the British Pharmaceutical Codex from 1907 states that cadmium iodide was used as a medication to treat "enlarged joints, scrofulous glands, and chilblains".[16]
In 1907, the International Astronomical Union defined the international ångström in terms of a red cadmium spectral line (1 wavelength = 6438.46963 Å).[17][18] This was adopted by the 7th General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1927. In 1960, the definitions of both the metre and ångström were changed to use krypton.[19]
After the industrial scale production of cadmium started in the 1930s and 1940s, the major application of cadmium was the coating of iron and steel to prevent corrosion; in 1944, 62% and in 1956, 59% of the cadmium in the United States was for coating.[3][20] In 1956, 24% of the cadmium used within the United States was used for the second application, which was for red, orange and yellow pigments based on sulfides and selenides of cadmium.[20] The stabilizing effect of cadmium-containing chemicals like the carboxylates cadmium laureate and cadmium stearate on PVC led to an increased use of those compounds in the 1970s and 1980s. The use of cadmium in applications such as pigments, coatings, stabilizers and alloys declined due to environmental and health regulations in the 1980s and 1990s; in 2006, only 7% of total cadmium consumption was used for plating and coating and only 10% was used for pigments.[3] The decrease in consumption in other applications was made up by a growing demand of cadmium in nickel-cadmium batteries, which accounted for 81% of the cadmium consumption in the United States in 2006.[21]
Cadmium metal
Cadmium makes up about 0.1 ppm of Earth's crust. Compared with the more abundant 65 ppm zinc, cadmium is rare.[22] No significant deposits of cadmium-containing ores are known. Greenockite (CdS), the only cadmium mineral of importance, is nearly always associated with sphalerite (ZnS). This association is caused by the geochemical similarity between zinc and cadmium which makes geological separation unlikely. As a consequence, cadmium is produced mainly as a byproduct from mining, smelting, and refining sulfidic ores of zinc, and, to a lesser degree, lead and copper. Small amounts of cadmium, about 10% of consumption, are produced from secondary sources, mainly from dust generated by recycling iron and steel scrap. Production in the United States began in 1907,[15] but it was not until after World War I that cadmium came into wide use.[23][24] One place where metallic cadmium can be found is the Vilyuy River basin in Siberia.[25]
Rocks mined to produce phosphate fertilizers contain varying amounts of cadmium, leading to a cadmium concentration of up to 300 mg/kg in the produced phosphate fertilizers and thus in the high cadmium content in agricultural soils.[26][27] Coal can contain significant amounts of cadmium, which ends up mostly in the flue dust.[28]
The British Geological Survey reports that in 2001, China was the top producer of cadmium, producing almost one-sixth of the world share, closely followed by South Korea and Japan.[29]
Cadmium is a common impurity in zinc ores, and it is most often isolated during the production of zinc. Some zinc ores concentrates from sulfidic zinc ores contain up to 1.4% of cadmium.[30] In the 1970s, the output of cadmium was 6.5 pounds per ton of zinc.[30] Zinc sulfide ores are roasted in the presence of oxygen, converting the zinc sulfide to the oxide. Zinc metal is produced either by smelting the oxide with carbon or by electrolysis in sulfuric acid. Cadmium is isolated from the zinc metal by vacuum distillation if the zinc is smelted, or cadmium sulfate is precipitated out of the electrolysis solution.[24][31]
World production trend
Cadmium output in 2005
Cadmium has many common industrial uses as it is a key component in battery production, is present in cadmium pigments,[32] coatings,[33] and is commonly used in electroplating.[34]
Ni-Cd batteries
In 2009, 86% of cadmium was used in batteries, predominantly in rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. Nickel-cadmium cells have a nominal cell potential of 1.2 V. The cell consists of a positive nickel hydroxide electrode and a negative cadmium electrode plate separated by an alkaline electrolyte (potassium hydroxide).[35] The European Union set the allowed use of cadmium in electronics in 2004 to limits of 0.01%,[36] with several exceptions, but reduced the allowed content of cadmium in batteries to 0.002%.[37]

Cadmium electroplating, consuming 6% of the global production, can be found in the aircraft industry due to the ability to resist corrosion when applied to steel components.[34] This coating is passivated by the usage of chromate salts.[33] A limitation of cadmium plating is hydrogen embrittlement of high-strength steels caused by the electroplating process. Therefore, steel parts heat-treated to tensile strength above 1300 MPa (200 ksi) should be coated by an alternative method (such as special low-embrittlement cadmium electroplating processes or physical vapor deposition). In addition, titanium embrittlement caused by cadmium-plated tool residues resulted in banishment of these tools (along with routine tool testing programs to detect any cadmium contamination) from the A-12/SR-71 and U-2 programs, and subsequent aircraft programs using titanium.[38]
Cadmium is used as a barrier to control neutrons in nuclear fission.[34] The pressurized water reactor designed by Westinghouse Electric Company uses an alloy consisting of 80% silver, 15% indium, and 5% cadmium.[34]
Train painted with cadmium orange
Cadmium oxide is used in black and white television phosphors and in the blue and green phosphors for color television picture tubes.[39] Cadmium sulfide (CdS) is used as a photoconductive surface coating for photocopier drums.[40]
Cadmium sulfide
In paint pigments, cadmium forms various salts, with CdS being the most common. This sulfide is used as a yellow pigment. Cadmium selenide can be used as red pigment, commonly called cadmium red. To painters who work with the pigment, cadmium yellows, oranges, and reds are the most brilliant and long-lasting colors to use. In fact, during production, these colors are significantly toned down before they are ground with oils and binders, or blended into watercolors, gouaches, acrylics, and other paint and pigment formulations. Because these pigments are potentially toxic, it is recommended to use a barrier cream on the hands to prevent absorption through the skin when working with them[32] even though the amount of cadmium absorbed into the body through the skin is usually reported to be less than 1%.[5]
In solder and bearing alloys, due to a low coefficient of friction and fatigue resistance.[34] It is also found in some of the lowest-melting alloys, such as Wood's metal.[42]
Laboratory uses
Violet light from a helium cadmium metal vapor laser. The highly monochromatic color arises from the 441.563 nm transition line of cadmium.
Helium–cadmium lasers are a common source of blue-ultraviolet laser light. They operate at either 325 or 422 nm and are used in fluorescence microscopes and various laboratory experiments.[43][44] Cadmium selenide quantum dots emit bright luminescence under UV excitation (He-Cd laser, for example). The color of this luminescence can be green, yellow or red depending on the particle size. Colloidal solutions of those particles are used for imaging of biological tissues and solutions with a fluorescence microscope.[45]
Cadmium is a component of some compound semiconductors, such as cadmium sulfide, cadmium selenide, and cadmium telluride, which can be used for light detection or solar cells. HgCdTe is sensitive to infrared[34] light and therefore may be utilized as an infrared detector or switch for example in remote control devices.
In molecular biology, cadmium is used to block voltage-dependent calcium channels from fluxing calcium ions, as well as in hypoxia research to stimulate proteasome-dependent degradation of Hif-1α.[46]
Biological role
Cadmium has no known useful role in higher organisms,[47] but a cadmium-dependent carbonic anhydrase has been found in some marine diatoms.[48] The diatoms live in environments with very low zinc concentrations and cadmium performs the function normally carried out by zinc in other anhydrases. The discovery was made using X-ray absorption fluorescence spectroscopy (XAFS).[48][49]
The highest concentration of cadmium has been found to be absorbed in the kidneys of humans, and up to about 30 mg of cadmium is commonly inhaled throughout childhood and adolescence.[50] Cadmium can be used to block calcium channels in chicken neurons.[51] Analytical methods for the determination of cadmium in biological samples have been reviewed.[52]
The biogeochemistry of cadmium and its release to the environment has been the subject of review, as has the speciation of cadmium in the environment.[53][54]
The bioinorganic aspects of cadmium toxicity have been reviewed.[55]
The most dangerous form of occupational exposure to cadmium is inhalation of fine dust and fumes, or ingestion of highly soluble cadmium compounds.[3] Inhalation of cadmium-containing fumes can result initially in metal fume fever but may progress to chemical pneumonitis, pulmonary edema, and death.[56]
Cadmium is also an environmental hazard. Human exposures to environmental cadmium are primarily the result of fossil fuel combustion, phosphate fertilizers, natural sources, iron and steel production, cement production and related activities, nonferrous metals production, and municipal solid waste incineration.[3] Bread, root crops, and vegetables also contribute to the cadmium in modern populations.[57] There have been a few instances of general population toxicity as the result of long-term exposure to cadmium in contaminated food and water, and research is ongoing regarding the estrogen mimicry that may induce breast cancer.[57] In the decades leading up to World War II, mining operations contaminated the Jinzū River in Japan with cadmium and traces of other toxic metals. As a consequence, cadmium accumulated in the rice crops growing along the riverbanks downstream of the mines. Some members of the local agricultural communities consuming the contaminated rice developed itai-itai disease and renal abnormalities, including proteinuria and glucosuria.[58]
Jinzū River area, which was contaminated with cadmium
The victims of this poisoning were almost exclusively post-menopausal women with low iron and other mineral body stores. Similar general population cadmium exposures in other parts of the world have not resulted in the same health problems because the populations maintained sufficient iron and other mineral levels. Thus, although cadmium is a major factor in the itai-itai disease in Japan, most researchers have concluded that it was one of several factors.[3] Cadmium is one of six substances banned by the European Union's Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, which bans certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment but allows for certain exemptions and exclusions from the scope of the law.[59] The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified cadmium and cadmium compounds as carcinogenic to humans.[60] Although occupational exposure to cadmium is linked to lung and prostate cancer, there is still a substantial controversy about the carcinogenicity of cadmium in low, environmental exposure. Recent data from epidemiological studies suggest that intake of cadmium through diet associates to higher risk of endometrial, breast and prostate cancer as well as to osteoporosis in humans.[61][62][63][64] A recent study has demonstrated that endometrial tissue is characterized by higher levels of cadmium in current and former smoking females.[65]
Although some epidemiological studies show a significant correlation between cadmium exposure and occurrence of disease conditions in human populations, a causative role for cadmium as the factor behind these effects remains yet to be shown. In order to prove a causative role, it will be important to define the molecular mechanisms through which cadmium in low exposure can cause adverse health effects. One hypothesis is that cadmium works as an endocrine disruptor because some experimental studies have shown that it can interact with different hormonal signaling pathways. For example, cadmium can bind to the estrogen receptor alpha,[66][67] and affect signal transduction along the estrogen and MAPK signaling pathways at low doses.[68][69][70]
Tobacco smoking is the most important single source of cadmium exposure in the general population. It has been estimated that about 10% of the cadmium content of a cigarette is inhaled through smoking. The absorption of cadmium from the lungs is much more effective than that from the gut, and as much as 50% of the cadmium inhaled via cigarette smoke may be absorbed.[71] On average, smokers have 4–5 times higher blood cadmium concentrations and 2–3 times higher kidney cadmium concentrations than non-smokers. Despite the high cadmium content in cigarette smoke, there seems to be little exposure to cadmium from passive smoking. No significant effect on blood cadmium concentrations has been detected in children exposed to environmental tobacco smoke.[72]
In the non-smoking part of the population food is the biggest source of exposure to cadmium. High quantities of cadmium can be found for example in crustaceans, molluscs, offals, and algal products. However, due to the higher consumption the most significant contributors to the dietary cadmium exposure are grains, vegetables, and starchy roots and tubers.[73]
Cadmium exposure is a risk factor associated with early atherosclerosis and hypertension, which can both lead to cardiovascular disease.[74]
Due to the adverse effects on the environment and human health, the supply and use of cadmium is restricted in Europe under the REACH Regulation.[75]
The EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain has set 2.5 μg/kg body weight as a tolerable weekly intake for humans.[73] In comparison, the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives has established 7 μg/kg bw as a provisional tolerable weekly intake level.[76]
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set a permissible exposure limit (PEL) for cadmium at a time-weighted average (TWA) of 0.005 ppm. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has not set a recommended exposure limit (REL) and has designated it as a known human carcinogen. The IDLH (immediately dangerous to life and health) level for cadmium is 9 mg/m3.[77]
Lethal dose[78]
LD50: 225 mg/kg rat oral n/a
LD50: 890 mg/kg mouse oral n/a
LC50: 25 mg/m3 rat n/a 30 min
In May 2006, a sale of the seats from Arsenal F.C.'s old stadium, Highbury in London, England was cancelled after the seats were discovered to contain trace amounts of cadmium.[79] Reports of high levels of cadmium use in children's jewelry in 2010 led to a US Consumer Product Safety Commission investigation.[80] The U.S. CPSC issued specific recall notices for cadmium content applying to jewelry sold by Claire's[81] and Wal-Mart[82] stores. In June 2010, McDonald's voluntarily recalled more than 12 million promotional "Shrek Forever After 3D" Collectable Drinking Glasses owing to concerns over cadmium levels in paint pigments used on the glassware.[83] The glasses were manufactured by Arc International, of Millville, NJ, USA.[84]

Conservative commentator Erik Rush encouraged military personnel in the United States to forcibly remove President Obama from office.
Rush blames Muslims for the Marathon bombing without evidence only hours after the explosions.
Everybody do the National Security Ankle Grab! Let's bring more Saudis in without screening them! C'mon!
Yes, they're [Muslims] evil. Let's kill them all.


People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) criticized the Republican presidential hopeful after The Boston Globe reported that Romney transported his dog in a rooftop carrier when the family drove from Boston to Ontario.
"He scrambled up there every time we went on trips, got in all by himself and enjoyed it," Romney said of the Irish Setter.
Sometimes you have just gotta laugh.
Have a great weekend all. Come back with all your fingers.
LPD will be busy over the next week with Independence Day-related law-breakers. Keep an eye on the number and types of police calls the officers get to deal with this week. Seriously people, don't bug the cops with little crap like "Little Johnny is playing with lady fingers!" Try to resolve it yourself first. (Hint: Try playing the same Raffi tune—any Raffi tune—over and over and over again as loud as you can make your stereo. The troublemakers will be forced to go elsewhere.) And if you're the type who just haaaaas to celebrate American independence by blowing up overpriced Chinese noisemakers, don't be a prick to your neighbors, mmmkay?
I have really had enough of this Time Warner cable television talk—the latest news is that the Cable Television Advisory Board wants to study how to bring competition to town—but it got me thinking about competition in the internet access arena. Most people think the only two high-speed internet access options are DSL through Windstream and cable through Time Warner. But there is at least one other company that offers both: Internet Nebraska. As I understand it, Internet Nebraska basically resells services offered by Windstream and Time Warner, but for a cheaper price. The downside, from what I hear, is that customer service can be a pain because you essentially have to work through two companies instead of just one.
Have any of you used Internet Nebraska's internet services? What was your experience?
I have always wanted to give them a try, but honestly, one thing more than any other has caused me to hold back: their website. It is outdated in all sorts of ways, and it has been outdated for years. The content seems reasonably current, but the design and communications methods scream 1998. A company that does its business on the internet should "get" the web better than that.
Americruise is in town again this weekend. Check it out at State Fair Park today (10-6), tomorrow (9-6), and Sunday (9-3:30). There is no official parade this year, but I'm not too worried. You can usually spot the cars all around town throughout the weekend.
We now know that American Idol will be holding auditions in Omaha, Do you know any Lincolnites who should audition? Do you know any who deserve to make it all the way to the competition?
I don't know Lincoln's music scene very well, but I do know one person I would love to see given a chance: Anna DeGraff. Can I get a second?
Here's a shocker: a study has shown that Downtown Lincoln needs more retail—specifically homegrown retail—and improved parking coordination. Raise your hand if you didn't see that conclusion coming. Anybody? I didn't think so.
I know there is a lot of cynicism surrounding the push to "renew" Downtown. (Why, did it expire?) Why mess with the hassle of going Downtown when there are so many more-accessible options elsewhere? Why pay for parking when you can get it free at the mall? And so on. The cynics make some good points. What many of them fail to realize, however, is just how popular the "back to Downtown" movement is all across the country. I was floored by how much new development was going on in downtown Des Moines when I was there this weekend. Omaha is just a couple years behind them. Similar development is happening in big and little cities everywhere. The market for this stuff is booming, and it would be a huge mistake for Lincoln not to take advantage of it, both at the public and private levels.
Does Money Buy Votes in Lincoln?
Chris Beutler outspent Ken Svoboda by $200,000 and Beutler was subsequently elected for the low cost of $21.03 per vote. Svoboda spent $13.71 per vote. The question I have for you is: does money buy votes in Lincoln? I always think that's an interesting question to ponder after each election. My general opinion—and my opinion in this specific case—is no. Do you think otherwise?
Resolved: Lincoln is missing out on critical opportunities in the I-80 corridor because of a singular focus on Downtown.
There's a lot of buzz over Susan Gourley's $228,591 salary—and most of it isn't positive. The griping is understandable. For one thing, that money would cover salaries for five or six teachers. In addition, Dr. Gourley has been all but invisible to the community. When the only thing we hear about her is that she's pulling in nearly a quarter million, well, folks aren't going to jump up and down in jubilation.
Dr. Gourley's pay seems too high to me, but of the superintendents' paychecks I've been aware of over the years, they have all seemed too high. I suspect we are paying approximately what we "have" to pay for quality administrative leadership. If anybody has data to the contrary, I'd love to see it.
JournalStar.com got a refreshed look, I see. I'll have to explore the new features a bit.
The Journal Star canned Paul Fell? That's too bad.
Are we still talking about the cable TV bruhaha? Sheesh.
Good evening, y'all. Sorry I went AWOL for a couple days. I got taken down by some sort of virus or demon or something on Wednesday, and it pretty much wiped me out. Fever of 103, fatigue, aches, all that good stuff. Now I'm in Des Moines preparing to referee at the 2007 US Youth Soccer Region II Championships. What? Referee right after being sick as a dog? Yeah, I'm an idiot.
I may have some things to write about Des Moines. I can't say much about the town as a whole, but I'm fairly impressed by the downtown area.
Now it's time for me to hit the sack. I have reffing to do tomorrow!
And Steve Carell made a really bad one. As Beerorkid points out (and as Jwilt concurs), even Mr. Nice Guy L. Kent Wolgamott gave Evan Almighty not 2 but 3 thumbs down. I just saw this and have to say that it is indeed pretty awful. I won't spoil the "story" but suffice to say that it is not funny at all to watch a guy dressed as Noah yell at animals on a boat. Its a shame, and I am saying this as someone who really likes Carell - who has, in my opinion, 10x the comic talent of John Stewart (as do Colbert and Rob Riggle as well). Additionally, Morgan Freeman has basically been playing the same character since around 1989, and was nothing new here. This movie was really not worth seeing at all in my opinion.
The best Daily Show alumni movie out there is still Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story, with the 3 Robs: Rob Corddry, Rob Huebel, and a completely hilarious and totally out of bounds Rob Riggle. If you haven't seen this one yet, definitely go out and rent it.
In other movie news: Yes - Is that Indiana Jones in a rocking chair?
Also, word is in that Jimmy John's will be one of the tenants in the nearly-complete building at 33rd and Pioneers. People tell me that JJ's makes Teh Bestest Sammiches EVAR!!1! but I've never been a huge fan. Maybe I'm broken.
Add YAMJ (Yet Another Mexican Joint) and YASJ (Yet Another Sandwich Joint) to your scorecard.
Deena Winter is a Liar!
OK, OK, she isn't really a liar. But she is a tease for headlining her column "Big news from Antelope Valley". (Yeah yeah, she may not have even been the one to come up with the headline.) Here I got all excited, when in fact the "big news" is just hypothetical news about some hypothetical projects. Harrumph.
Crandall Arambula, the Portland, Oregon, consulting firm that headed up the Downtown Master Plan, wants to write the design standards for Antelope Valley. To that I say: bah humbug. Maybe that's too harsh. I'm not anti-Crandall Arambula. I'm just not excited about them. I don't want Antelope Valley to look like the vision held by some group from Portland, and I don't want Antelope Valley to look like every other project Crandall Arambula works on. I want Antelope Valley to look like Lincoln.


On behalf of Rothschild & Ausbrooks, PLLC posted in chapter 13 bankruptcy on Thursday, November 23, 2017.
Tennessee residents just like you are suffering with debts that may seem insurmountable. This is where Rothschild & Ausbrooks, PLLC, come in. They help you decide if the debt that you're in is too steep for you to pull out of on your own, and can show you all of the benefits of bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy is not the right move for every individual. However, there are some cases in which filing for bankruptcy may be exactly the kind of help you need. One of the biggest examples is if you're suffering from creditor harassment. Even if you think you'll never be able to get them off your back, filing for bankruptcy will stop all creditor harassment in its tracks. They are legally unable to bother you in any way after you have filed.
Additionally, if you're worried about either repossession or foreclosure, bankruptcy can help. If you file for bankruptcy, both foreclosure and repossession threats will temporarily be put on hold as you're given time to work out a bankruptcy plan instead. Of course, the result depends on which type of bankruptcy you file for and whether or not you're able to repay your debts if you choose to go with Chapter 13. Both wage garnishment and creditor lawsuits can be dealt with during this process as well.
Unfortunately, dealing with debt problems will always be at least somewhat stressful. However, bankruptcy filing may be the answer you're looking for. To read more about bankruptcy, including the different chapters, give our informative web page a look.

Registration is now open for UMEX and SimTEX 2022
- UMEX and SimTEX will take place from February 21-23, 2022
Abu Dhabi, UAE – 22 December, 2021: The Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Company (ADNEC) has announced that registration is now open to local and international exhibitors, members of the media and visitors to the Unmanned Systems Exhibition (UMEX 2022) and the Simulation Training Exhibition (SimTEX 2022).
Organised by the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC) in cooperation with the UAE Ministry of Defense, the two exhibitions & their accompanying conference will take place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) from February 21-23, 2022.
UMEX and SimTEX are considered the only events in the region dedicated to unmanned systems, simulation, training, AI, robotics, and mixed-use systems in the defense and civilian sectors. The two exhibitions are of strategic importance on the calendar of events organized by ADNEC. The events will build on the success of the previous Unmanned Systems Exhibition and Conference and ADNEC is preparing to welcome an impressive edition of UMEX in 2022, with a broader scope. The upcoming edition will include a stronger focus on Simulation and Training Exhibition (SIMTEX), reflecting the sustained growth in investment by the UAE and the world.
The two exhibitions attract a group of experts, decision-makers, senior officials and academics, as well as major international companies and regional and global partners from the public and private sectors. The aim of the event is to discuss and review the latest global technologies and advanced solutions to confront security challenges, in addition to the latest innovations in the business sectors that are witnessing rapid changes and developments on the regional and global levels.
