The Middle Eastern hospitality market has definitely experienced a growth spurt in terms of hotel supply, yet has continued to battle with the downward pressure on average daily rates (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR).
In 2018, the UAE alone opened 2,500 keys by Q3 with 98% of the openings in Dubai. Saudi Arabia, as of Q3, has a supply of 49,760 keys, Egypt, which is experiencing a positive turnaround in tourism, currently has a supply of 78,200 hotels keys. Other major capital cities in the region like Kuwait City, Muscat, Manama and Amman now offer 23,700 keys combined as of Q3.
However, with the changing landscape of the incoming source markets such as China and India, properties have had to contend with the growing number of price-sensitive visitors and have had to continue to face rate compression in most markets, according to Colliers International.
In the annual GM Survey 2018, Hotelier Middle East reached out to general managers working in the region to ask their take on the current hospitality situation. While almost all participants agreed on the growing concern regarding supply, they remain positive on the outcomes in the coming years. As a matter of fact, 44.74% of the respondents experienced a slightly higher occupancy rate in 2018 than in 2017, 7.89% reported a significantly higher occupancy statistics while 31.58% notes the same levels as last year with the rest experiencing slightly lower or significantly lower.
With room rates, on the other hand, general managers have had mixed experiences. 17.95% of the participants experienced significantly lower rates compared to 2017, 28.21%, while 25.64% experienced no change, 23.08% reported slightly better performance from 2017 while only 5.13 stated significantly higher room rates in 2018.
According to Colliers International head of hotels Christopher Lund, to succeed in this competitive market, general managers have to think out of the box.
"The increase in competition with the continuous opening of new hotels is the primary concern for GMs in the region. They must ensure their property stands out and delivers high-quality service to secure bookings and maintain an adequate cash flow," Lund says.
When asked what factors general managers consider most important for the success of the hotel, 70% of the respondents said branding of the property was pivotal for long-term positive outcome. 62.55% stated location as a necessity for success. General managers in the survey also pointed out loyalty programmes as a factor followed by value for money for the guests, luxury or personalised services as focus points for hotels in the region.
For hotel companies and properties in the region, visitors from the GCC still make up the largest chunk of guests at 79.49%, with higher amounts of dispensable money and access to travel in the Middle East and North Africa region. They are followed by European travellers, who make 76.92% of the hotel guests among the hotels operated by the respondents. Travellers from the wider region, such as Lebanon and Jordan, make up 46.15%. Growing inbound visitors from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Russia accounted for 28.21% and as mentioned earlier, visitors from China and India are growing year-on-year.
The number of Chinese tourists travelling to the GCC is expected to increase 81% from 1.6 million in 2018 to 2.9 million in 2022, according to data published ahead of Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2019.
The latest research from Colliers International, in partnership with ATM 2019, reveals that the GCC countries currently attract just 1% of China's total outbound market. However, positive trends are expected over the coming years as 400 million Chinese tourists are expected to go abroad in 2030 – up from 154 million in 2018.
Premier Inn Ibn Battuta Mall general manager John Raffoul says his hotel is working with Dubai Tourism (DTCM) to attract and target the emirate's top source markets. "We work hand in hand with DTCM and support their initiatives. We focus on what is relevant to each hotel's business module and target markets accordingly including Dubai's top source market - India, China, Saudi Arabia, and the Far East. We are also working on attracting more families and leisure travellers across the globe, as Dubai offers an incredible range of leisure attractions such as Dubai Parks & Resorts, IMG World of Adventure, Ibn Battuta Mall, Burj Khalifa, and many others which our guests can enjoy, and are incorporated into our sales tactics," he explains.
In the survey, when asked what general managers expect in terms of the biggest hurdles affecting hotel performance in the next 12 months, respondents listed increased competition, political instability, rising inflation, staff retention, recruitment and training, and taxes such as the recently implemented Value Added Tax (VAT) as the top concerns. Rising utility costs, possible renovations, securing return on investment, and for some respondents, slowing economy and lack of government support as well as political instability were major causes for concern.
"Finding, recruiting and retaining the right talent is one of the challenges we face every day, as well as developing and growing our talent to ensure the ultimate guest satisfaction. The second challenge is managing overall property expenses and revenue, and looking at how we can maximise all resources for better, efficient and more profitable outcomes," Raffoul explains.
With pressure to show return on investment to owners and maintain profits, Lund notes that general managers will have to focus on cost saving measures to ensure healthy figures.
"It's natural for existing hotels to see a compression in revenues over the next year due to new supply, and GMs will therefore have to be creative with their cost saving measures to ensure owner returns remain stable while the guest experience is not impacted," he states.
Major hotel companies like Marriott International, InterContinental Hotel Group and AccorHotels are steadfastly expanding their respective portfolios.
Marriott has signed for more than 30 properties and over 5,000 rooms in the region in the last 12 months with introduction of new brands like Edition, AC Hotels and Element driving in competition with different hotel categories in the region.
IHG recently launched the first voco hotel in the MENA region and will be re-flagging Nassima Royal Hotel and has also revealed plans to open several Holiday Inn Express properties across Saudi Arabia.
AccorHotels on the other hand, in Q2 2018, acquired Swiss-based Mövenpick for US$599 million and the deal integrated Mövenpick's 84 operating hotels into Accor's existing global portfolio of more than 4,500 hotels.
As evidenced by the statistics, the competition isn't slowing down by any means. With big brands bringing in a variety of options for the inbound travellers. Lund advises that general manager should make visibility and relevance a priority to ensure continued commercial success.
"Net profit is the most important element during a highly competitive market. As a result, GMs will have to ensure the continuous flow of revenues by maintaining adequately staffed sales and marketing departments to ensure hotels maintain their presence and relevance to their consumers," Lund explains.
While Raffoul acknowledges that key indicators are on a decline across the board in the region, he expresses hope for a positive turn out in Q4 2019 in the lead up to Expo 2020 in Dubai.

232 community schools in Rolpa don't have govt-assigned teachers
Published On: November 10, 2017 02:30 AM NPT By: Dinesh Subedi
ROLPA, Nov 10: Out of the total 407 community schools in Rolpa district, 232 schools do not have any government-assigned teachers.
The schools without a single government-assigned teacher include 101 primary schools, 67 lower secondary schools and 64 high schools, according to the District Education Office (DEO), Rolpa.
The district has a total of 86,523 registered students. The communities there contributed around Rs 230 million to provide wages to teachers.
Even though education is said to be free, it has not been implemented in practice. "The quota for government-assigned teachers has been reduced by 60 percent. At present, there are quotas for 842 teachers at the primary level, 104 at the lower secondary level and just 63 at high school level," said District Education Officer Kalpana Ghimire.
Even though the problem is serious, none of the political parties has made it its priority to resolve it. They have not mentioned it in their manifestoes for the upcoming parliamentary and provincial elections.
The political parties have only focused on roads, electricity, water and employment as their top agendas. They are completely silent on critical needs like basic education.
"The problem of not having the teachers' quota is there. But there is no willpower to develop the education system, due to which we are lagging behind in this sector," added Ghimire.
The constitution of Nepal has secured the right to have access to education to every citizen of the country. The constitution has also enacted free and compulsory education until high school level. In Rolpa, however, such things are on paper only.
Ghimire said the situation this year is not better than that of the last year. "Parents are forced to pay for education even though it is supposed to be free."

What Is the Average Height of Players in the NFL?
Credit: Donald Miralle/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
NFL players are big in terms of both height and weight, with the average player height running 6 feet 4 inches. Players can be as tall as 6 feet 8 inches and as short as 6 feet. It's unlikely for an NFL player to weigh less than 250 pounds.
According to SB Nation, players that are drafted today are bigger than they were in the 70s and 80s. For example, the average defensive tackle in 2013 weighed in at about 305 pounds, while a defensive player in the 70s weighed around 270 pounds.
Currently, the heaviest players in the NFL are nose tackles. The average male athlete, in most all sports activities, weighs in at 210 pounds and is about 6 feet, 1 inch tall.

Q: What is the use of the select statement in SQL(ite) triggers? In SQLite, triggers may contain four types of statements: insert, update, delete, and select. What is the use of the select statement, namely, how can I access the result-set of the select statement?
For example, with the following setup,
create table "Data" ("data" Text);
create trigger "Data-AI" after insert on "Data" begin
    /* some insert, update, or delete statements */
    select "data" as "selected" from "Data" where length("data") < 4;
            -- assume that there at least two rows in the result set
    /* some insert, update, or delete statements */
end;

how can I use "selected" in the second batch of insert, update, or delete statements?

A: In a trigger body, the result of a SELECT statement is simply thrown away.
Using a SELECT statement makes sense only for its side effects, i.e., when using a user-defined function, or RAISE().

The skin and beauty industry today is booming all over the world. The trend towards using cosmetics has grown exponentially and many men and women rely on a lot of products to give them that young, radiant and healthy skin that they always wanted. However, while many of these products may be of high quality and will work just fine for you there are also others that will damage your skin with all of the chemicals that they have in them. So what can you do if you are worried about overly exposing your skin to chemicals that will damage it in the long run? The answer is simple. You need to start investing in natural remedies and products that can have a good impact on your skin not just for now but for as long as you use it. Here are some great examples of natural remedies that can really help your skin out and give you the beauty solutions that you need.
Have you ever felt like your skin reacts very easily to pretty much anything that it is not generally used to? Maybe you get to experience acne flare-ups all the time because of this. This could possibly mean that you have sensitive skin that is very easily irritable. If that is the case using products that have loads of chemicals in them will only harm and damage the skin even more.In fact it might cause more irritation that could lead to some very unsightly scarring of the skin. A good natural solution would be to use lavender and Roman chamomile on your skin and also buy essential oils Australia for this purpose. You need to make sure that your provider is reliable though if you wish to have the right results. The properties in lavender and Roman chamomile can both calm and soothe irritated skin and give you relief from your flare-ups.
Your skin will age along with you and it is natural to have age spots on your skin as well as blemishes when this happens. Using frankincense on it will actually give you visible results from an all-natural product that will give you none of the harmful results of using chemicals on your skin. Especially because you are battling aging effects on the skin, it would be wise to use as many natural products as you can and have none of the chemicals that you should avoid.
Another very common issue that pops up quite literally when it comes to your skin is acne. These can be painful, unpleasant to look at and even scarring therefore causing people to lose self-confidence because they feel like they look bad with the scars. Using tea tree and geranium essence has been known to keep acne at bay and also prevent scarring of the skin, nourishing it from within to give it that supple and silky look and feel that we all long to have.

On the day of Peace, we strengthen our anti-imperialist resistance
{Português}
On the International Day of Peace, 21st of September, the peoples have manifested their desire for a fairer world, an egalitarian international order and respect for the nations' sovereignty, pillars for the end of wars, imperialism and colonialism, respect for the environment and solidarity between the peoples. Yet, they have also reaffirmed their resistance to the warmongering and interventionist policies promoted by aggressive and offensive policies such as those of the US president Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly.
By Socorro Gomes
On this day, overwhelming numbers remind us of the urgency of our struggle and of the dramas of humanity that each of these estimates represents. They are more than mere numbers, they are separate families, victimized by the catastrophe of war and the offensive or exploitive policies of the world's greatest powers and their local allies.
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there are 22.5 million people with recognized refugee status (more than half of them, under 18), of whom 5.3 million are Palestinians only, survivors of an ongoing catastrophe of colonization, plundering and genocide promoted by the Zionist leadership. Altogether, 65.6 million people are forcibly displaced and 10 million are stateless, without any protection.
Imperialist interventionism and interference are the main culprits for the suffering of peoples, as well as neoliberal policies that impose misery and despair on humanity, and neocolonial policies, which seek to keep entire nations under subjection.
In the 16 years since the invasion of Afghanistan, the 14 years since the invasion of Iraq, the six years of war against Syria, the 42 years of military occupation of the Western Sahara by Morocco and the 50 years of occupation of Palestine by Israel, and the 100 years since the Balfour Declaration – in which the United Kingdom has promised Palestine to the Jewish people, without consulting its inhabitants – the peoples unite to reinforce their struggle against domination and war, unveiling the pretexts of "war against terrorism" or "security" used by the world powers to maintain their control over the planet.
But this year we also celebrate the great victory of peoples, the centenary of the October Revolution, which is still a source of hope and inspiration. We have redoubled efforts in support of great achievements such as the strides in the process of a peace with social justice in Colombia, the creation of the new political party of the Alternative Revolutionary Force of the Common (FARC) and the negotiations between the government and the National Liberation Army. We reaffirm our solidarity with the peoples that fight for their nations' sovereignty and for democracy, as in Venezuela and Cuba, still under the threat of US interference, under blockade and under constant coup attempts.
The world was shocked by the belligerent rhetoric of Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly, where he specifically offended the People's Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba. In the new international order that people demand, the anachronistic discourse of the US as the absolute hegemonic power, or rather an imperialist war machine, does not fit. Against Trump's astonishing tone, the leaders of the countries targeted have answered loud and clear that they will not bow to the threats nor surrender to the belligerent, confrontational, environment that Trump seeks to impose.
In this scenario, peace-loving forces strengthen their struggle, redouble their efforts and strengthen ties of friendship and solidarity among peoples around the world. In the determined resistance against the militarization of the planet, weapons of mass destruction as an instrument of foreign policy, interventions and military bases scattered throughout the world, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and other manifestations of imperialist policy that we seek to eradicate, we remain convinced that together we can defeat the forces of war, oppression and exploitation!

Mendelssohn, who died at 38, was a superb pianist as well as a great composer and conductor, and as a reminder of his keyboard skills (and those of the young Polish-Canadian Jan Lisiecki - whom I spoke to recently for a Gramophone Podcast), DG has released album of the two piano concertos and two of his finest solo works.
Jan Lisiecki's Chopin: Works for Piano and Orchestra, set for international release on 10 March 2017, comprises pieces in the so-called "brilliant style," a form of virtuosic pianism cultivated in the early 1800s by some of the leading performer-composers of the day, including Hummel, Kalkbrenner and Moscheles. During his formative years in Warsaw, Chopin applied the style to such works for piano and orchestra as the Grande Polonaise brillante Op.22 and Rondo à la krakowiak in F major Op.14. The notion of brilliance likewise governs his Variations on "Là ci darem la mano" from Mozart's Don Giovanni Op.2 and the Fantasy on Polish Airs Op.13.
Jan Lisiecki turns to the music of Robert Schumann for his third Deutsche Grammophon album. The 20-year-old Canadian pianist presents strikingly mature and imaginative interpretations of the composer's complete concertante works for piano and orchestra. Jan Lisiecki: Schumann – Works for Piano and Orchestra, set for international release on 8 January 2016, opens with the evergreen Piano Concerto in A minor op. 54. It also contains the Introduction and Allegro appassionato op. 92, Träumerei op. 15 no. 7 and the rarely heard Introduction and Allegro op. 134, the latter entering the DG catalogue for the first time in the yellow label's 117-year history. Lisiecki is partnered by the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and Sir Antonio Pappano, with whom he made his debut at the 2013 BBC Proms in Schumann's Piano Concerto. "This proved to be a performance of extraordinary accomplishment," noted the Guardian at the time.

Frank Harris (1856-1931)
Harris the gardener?
Here's a curiosity: I was recently contacted by a man who works in an Oxfam bookshop in Bristol. The shop had come into possession of a set of The Ilustrated Dictionary of Gardening with four of the eight volumes apparently bearing Harris's signature and the date 1885.
They'd previously had some other books in their stock that were signed by Harris, so it was possible these were from the same collection.
I was asked my opinion as to whether the signatures might be genuine or not, so I said I'd take a look and see what I thought, though I was sceptical: in 1885 he was 29 years old and had recently taken over the editorship of the Evening News so it did not seem likely that at that time he'd be getting his hands dirty in the garden.
When I saw the scans of the four signatures I was intrigued because each was slightly different from the others, and yet each bore an unmistakeable resemblance to that of the much older Harris. Instances of his signature from before about 1900 are relatively uncommon, whereas after that date he signed an awful lot of letters and books - and I have in consequence around a dozen examples to compare with the ones from the gardening books.
My feeling is that these are genuine. In 1885 the young Harris might well have been still in the process of developing his signature, experimenting with different styles, so the variations between them - and between them and the mature form - would then be natural enough.
Judge for yourself: I've added two of the four examples sent to me, and one taken from a limited edition of one of his books printed in 1926 over forty years later.
But - gardening? I went in search of further evidence and found a possible suggestion of one in Philippa Pullar's biography of Harris. She says that in 1885 Harris bought what is described as a "small house" in Kensington Gore. It is not unlikely that this house had some sort of a garden. Might not Harris, full of youthful enthusiasm at becoming a householder and perhaps picturing himself growing presentation roses and vegetables, have purchased the Dictionary of Gardening as part of his furnishing of his new property? It doesn't seem implausible.
(What's more, as Harris was a keen horseman he'd have had ready access to that most vital of garden supplies, manure.)
The books will probably go to auction shortly. Should anyone reading this have an interest in them let me know and I'll pass your details on to the shop.

Quotes by and about Frank Harris


A week after my funeral, when you deal with a deadline at work and you remember for one split second that I used to love you.
Infinite tunnels of endless hopes, and infinite ends of a hopeless life.
Did you notice that dreams and death both start with D – the letter of dawn, and dusk as well?
A week after my funeral, when you deal with a deadline at work and you remember for one split second that I used to love you. Will you startle with my absence, for one split second?
The flowers you brought, they were meant for my wedding. Small ceremony by the mountains, the altar decorated with white tulips.
Among the messy nihilistic scribbles in my diary, did you find the tear stains from the time I sobbed to Lazarus for the first time?
Does any of you remember that I would cry for extra sweet milk chocolate on my first day of period?
Did you know that I would watch Notting Hill over and over again till I've found someone to say "surreal, but nice"?
Hey, will you mention that I have written a children's story that I always wished to publish?
Will you mention that I loved the sweater mom made for me?
You'll say where you met me, how you knew me, how I was a good person and how my death is a tragedy better to be forgotten soon.
You see, that's why I will live another day.
Until I tell my version of my story.

Auteur Mysticism: Innovative Readings on Circumcision and Hymen
The word Kabbalah means "reception," or ideomatically, "Tradition," and it is generally assumed that the esoteric teachings of Kabbalah are both ancient and static. When something seemingly novel appears in the Kabbalah canon, people generally speak of it as "revealed" rather than invented, assuming it has always been present, in occult form, prior to its coming to light.
[Adam and Eve, by Tamara de Lempicka]
This is grounded in the larger Jewish notion that everything anyone will ever derive from Torah was already present at Mount Sinai. But as my earlier entry on the supposedly old but in fact quite new pulsa de-nura curse demonstrates, there is also a degree of innovation that is a constant in the history of esoteric Judaism.
For example, the Merkavah mystics never use the term "Sefirot" and leave us nothing to suggest they had any such doctrine. It also had little meaning to the Hasidei Ashkenaz (the Rhineland mystics of the 12-13th Cent.). Moreover, the meaning of the word, which goes back at least as far as the 6th Cent. CE, undergoes significant evolution, from a simple notion of the cosmic power embedded in numbers (Sefer Yetzirah) to a doctrine of divine attributes (Sefer Bahir) to the elaborate graphic mandala of ten points and twenty-two channels well known to students of mysticism today (actually post-Zoharic design). Confusing the issue what is ancient vs. innovative is the habit of later readers to anachronistically retroject their understanding of a term or concept onto early texts (Aryeh Kaplan's commentary on Sefer Yetzirah and his explanation of "sefirah" is a classic example of this retroactive reading).
The mechanism of innovation at work in Kabbalah is that each elaboration builds upon earlier sources, even as it re-assigns meaning, often by combining them in previously unimagined ways and associations. I call this the "Auteur phenomenon" of Kabbalah. The term "auteur" aises from the world of film. Auteur theory holds that the director, while combining already existing elements (script, film techniques, actors) nevertheless creates something new and personal through his arrangement of these pre-existing elements into a new gestalt. I think something like this happens in Kabbalah (and Jewish tradition at large) all the time. Moses' staff is clearly a device of power (Ex. 15). But so is Aaron's staff (Num 17). So maybe their actually the same object. Then someone links these references to a staff carried by one of the patriarchs, and eventually we have a tradition of a single miraculous staff that passes through the generations and will in time reappear in the hands of the Messiah (PdRE 40; Sefer Zerubbalel). Then a later interpreter concludes the "staff" is actually a figure, or metaphor, for something else (like, say, the sefirot), and so the significance of the staff of Moses grows into a mystical doctrine.
Appropos of this, a regular reader, Aharon, provides us with another example of this auteur reading:
Note also the commentary on Breisheit 3:21, on the garments G!d created for Adam and Eve. Aryeh Kaplan writes in the Living Torah, "Some translate this 'shrouds of skin,' denoting the growth of the male foreskin and female hymen (Maaseh HaShem; from Sanhedrin 38b, Eruvin 100b)." (copied from World ORT.) This commentary is indicative of a tradition that the circumcision returns us to a state akin to that of Edenic man. I can only imagine how marriage may have at one time symbolized a return to Edenic fecundity for the daughters of Chava...
Assuming this appears as described in Ma'aseh ha-Shem, and assuming this is the Ma'aseh ha-Shem of the Kabbalist Elazar ha-Ashkenazi (17th Century?), then this is Rav Elazar as auteur reader. Here are the two passages from Talmud he cited:
...[regarding the true nature of Adam's sin] Rab Judah also said in Rab's name: Adam was a Min [a heretic], for it is written, And the Lord God called unto Adam and said unto him, Where art thou? i.e., whither has thine heart turned? R. Isaac said: He practised episplasm [he artificially constructed a foreskin]: For here it is written, But like man, [Adam] they have transgressed the covenant [here "brit" is taken to refer to "brit milah" - circumcision]; whilst elsewhere it is said, He hath broken my covenant...(Sanhedrin 38b).
Eve was cursed with ten curses, since it is written, Unto the woman, He said, I will greatly multiply... which refers to the two drops of blood, one being that of menstration, the other that of virginity... (Erubin 100b).
Now, in Sanhedrin, R. Isaac's interpretation is meant as a zinger directed at his contemporaries, Jews who surgically reconstruct their foreskin to conform with Greco-Roman prejudices against circumcision. In fact, there was no consensus among the Rabbis as to whether Adam was born circumcised (compare AdRN 2:5 vs. Exodus R. 46:3). Still, the assumption in this passage is that being circumcised is the "perfect" state of man (riffing also on Gen. 17) and having the orlah (foreskin) 'embodies' man's disobedience toward God.
Just as the Sanhedrin passage is trying to fix on the precise nature of Adam's sin, the Erubin passage is attempting to fix upon the precise meaning[s] of God's punishments of Eve. But the implication of this discussion that Maaseh ha-Shem latches onto is that before the Fall, Eve had no hymen (the breaking of which produces the blood of "virginity").
Elazar's auteur move is to combine and reform these two [seemingly] unrelated discussions with Gen. 3:21, "And Adonai Elohim made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them...", to come up with the [brilliant] mythic interpretation that the "skin" with which God "clothed" the primordial couple actually refers to the fleshy foreskin and membranous hymen. Therefore, Maaseh ha-Shem argues, the foreskin and the hymen are also embodied symbols of separation from Eden; manifest barriers between us and God. So it is through circumcision for a man (which one may note, also involves a 'drop of blood'*), and sexual initiation in marriage for a woman, which return us to our intended, Edenic condition (this also jives nicely with the Jewish wedding ritual, which makes reference to the united couple being like Adam and Eve in the garden - a novel teaching that reinforces a traditional ritual).
Its a compelling, clever, and even beautiful mythic rationale for circumcision and conjugal relations, but but its not an association found in the Talmud or Midrash, and I'm unaware of it being an interpretation made prior to Maaseh ha-Shem [If anyone knows of a source that pre-dates this one making this argument, please forward it to me]. Thus we see the novel unfolding within even the most conservative of Jewish traditions, and the constant reformation of Jewish teachings across the centuries.
*The theme of circumcision as a kind of ritual androgenization of Jewish men is worth another entry, but not yet.

Circumcision as ritual androgenization? Looking forward to that post. By the way, have you encountered in your reading the basis of the tradition among ancient Egyptians to be circumcised? I learned about that custom in a course on ancient Egyptian history from the Egyptologist Gerald Kadish at SUNY Binghamton...

Saudi Arabia takes first step towards nuclear plant tender: sources
By Sylvia Westall and Reem Shamseddine
ABU DHABI/KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has sent a request for information (RFI) to international suppliers to build two nuclear power plants, a first step towards a formal tender, three sources said.
The kingdom is considering building 17.6 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear capacity by 2032, the equivalent of about 17 reactors, making it one of the biggest prospects for an industry struggling after the 2011 nuclear disaster in Japan.
The world's biggest exporter of oil wants to reduce the amount of crude it burns at home to generate electricity so it can sell more of it overseas.
"Saudi Arabia has just sent the request for information to various companies and it is being examined," one industry source told Reuters, adding that firms had about two months to respond.
A second industry source confirmed that Saudi authorities had sent an RFI, which is a request to nuclear vendors to submit non-binding offers to build a nuclear reactor.
"We sent a communication to suppliers," a Saudi official told Reuters without giving details.
One source said Saudi Arabia planned to organise a nuclear conference in Riyadh in coming months.
If a tender proceeds, Saudi Arabia would become the second Gulf Arab state to turn to nuclear power after the United Arab Emirates, which is building four South Korean-designed reactors, with the first due to start in 2018.
The four plants will provide up to 25 percent of the UAE's "clean energy" needs by 2021. UAE Energy Minister Suhail al-Mazroui said on Monday the nation's energy strategy called for more than four reactors to be built by 2050.
Industry sources said Saudi Arabia was reaching out to suppliers from South Korea, China, France, Russia, Japan and the United States for its first two reactors.
French EDF <EDF.PA> said last month it was in talks with several nations to sell nuclear reactors, including Saudi Arabia. Other potential suppliers are Toshiba-owned Westinghouse <6502.T>, Russia's Rosatom, China's CGN and South Korean firms, such as Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) <015760.KS>.
Executive vice president at Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co (KHNP), Noh Baek-ail, said South Korean firms would bid as a group for the Saudi nuclear project.
A senior U.S. official said the United States was looking at export opportunities to Saudi Arabia, the UAE and elsewhere.
"We work closely with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and we work with them in areas of energy," Edward McGinnis, acting U.S. assistant secretary for nuclear energy, said during the conference.
Saudi Arabia's nuclear plans have received extra momentum from the kingdom's Vision 2030, an economic reform programme launched last year by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

As research into the deaths of the men of Duffy's Cut continues, researchers have confirmed what many have long suspected: that not all the men died natural deaths.
The men of Duffy's Cut were 57 Irish immigrants from the Donegal area working on the Pennsylvania railroad who died in 1832 during a cholera epidemic. They would be forgotten today were it not for the efforts of Wiliam Watson, the head of the history department at Immaculata University, his brother, the Rev. Dr. Frank Watson, and a team of academics and students, who for the last six years have been investigating their deaths.
They have now identified one of the men, 18-year-old John Ruddy, and determined that a rock had been lodged in his forehead.
IrishPhiladelphia.com has the story, with photos and a video of the presentation of the story to Irish Ambassador Michael Collins.

Kyle Sinckler: Bristol Bears & England prop banned for two weeks for swearing at referee
Kyle Sinckler joined Bristol Bears on a two-year deal in July
Bristol Bears and England prop Kyle Sinckler will miss the start of the Six Nations after being banned for two weeks for swearing at a referee.
He will miss England's opener against Scotland on 6 February, but will be back to face Italy a week later.
Sinckler, 27, contested the charge of failing to respect the authority of a match official at a hearing on Tuesday.
However, it was ruled he did direct his "aggressive" language towards Karl Dickson in Bristol's win at Exeter.
His actions early in the second half of Saturday's Premiership fixture at Sandy Park were also deemed to have warranted a red card.
The former Harlequins tight-head was handed a low-entry ban of two weeks with no mitigation.
But the panel said he was "candid in his evidence as to why he had acted as he did and regretted his actions".
It also found his actions "disrespected the authority of the referee" and were "in breach of a core value of rugby".
The British & Irish Lion avoids missing both of the first two matches of England's Six Nations campaign because the squad has not yet been named, meaning his ban will also cover Bristol's league match against Bath on Friday, 29 January.
He will be free to play again on 9 February.
Sinckler has been capped 40 times by England, including starting the 2019 World Cup final against South Africa before an early head injury forced him off the field.
BBC rugby union correspondent Chris Jones
Given Sinckler was a certainty to be named in the Six Nations squad, his next two "meaningful matches" were England's games with Scotland and Italy.
However, the panel have surprisingly decided to discount his inevitable international call-up by including Bristol's next two league matches in the ban.
This means Sinckler is free to play again from 9 February and, while he will miss the Calcutta Cup, he will be available for Italy a week after.
While the panel will say they didn't want to deal in hypotheticals, given the Six Nations squad hasn't yet been named, it feels like the kind of unsatisfactory outcome which has dogged disciplinary processes for years.

Two Members of the Hiram College Men's Basketball Team Earn All-NCAC Honors
Two members of the Hiram College men's basketball team were named All-North Coast Athletic Conference for their individual efforts this season. Senior forward Mike McDevitt (Lisbon/David Anderson) earned second-team accolades while sophomore point guard Mike Staley (Perry/Mentor Lake Catholic) was named honorable mention.
The Terrier men ended the season with an 8-18 overall record and finished in seventh place in the NCAC at 5-11. Hiram also made a second straight appearance in the conference tournament and fifth overall trip since joining the NCAC in 1999.
McDevitt ended his senior season second on the team in scoring, and ranked eighth in the conference, averaging 15.1 points per game on 44.7 percent (148-of-331) shooting. He led the team in rebounding at 6.3 boards per game and was third in three-pointers made (31) and steals (24). McDevitt ended a solid four-year career as a Terrier with 1,021 career points and finishes 19th on the Hiram all-time scoring list. He also grabbed 474 career rebounds to place 10th all-time. This is McDevitt's second All-NCAC award and second consecutive second-team honor.
Staley followed up an impressive rookie season in 2006-07 with an equally impressive sophomore performance this winter. He led the team and finished fourth in the NCAC in scoring at 16.7 ppg. on 45.2 percent (146-of-323) shooting. He also shot an impressive 44.6 percent (45-of-101) from three-point range,which was fourth best in the conference,with a team-leading 45 triples made. Staley also tallied a team and conference-leading 100 assists for the season. In addition, he was amongst the team and league leaders in free-throw percentage converting 80.3 percent (98-of-122) of his attempts.

Zadowolenie z pracy to termin zdefiniowany przez Edwina A. Locke'a. Według niego jest to przyjemny stan emocjonalny, będący rezultatem percepcji przez jednostkę swojej pracy jako realizującej lub dającej okazję do realizacji istotnych wartości dostępnych w pracy pod warunkiem, że te wartości są zbieżne z jej potrzebami. Inne definicje opisują zadowolenie z pracy jako postawę, czyli zbiór przekonań i opinii na temat wykonywanej pracy, ponadto uwzględniając składnik emocjonalny towarzyszący tej pracy oraz zachowania pracownika powodowane reakcją na okoliczności związane z tą pracą.

Rozbieżności dotyczą możliwości sprowadzenia poczucia zadowolenia do jednowymiarowego odczucia o określonym natężeniu, które opisuje, jak bardzo zadowolony lub niezadowolony jest dany pracownik. Według niektórych stanowisk, poczucie zadowolenia z pracy dotyczy odrębnych kryteriów w sposób niezależny, np. osobnego poczucia zadowolenia z płacy, atmosfery, zakresu odpowiedzialności, stopnia obciążenia obowiązkami.

Powstawanie zadowolenia z pracy
Według teorii Locke'a największe znaczenie dla zadowolenia ma rozbieżność pomiędzy indywidualnymi oczekiwaniami od pracy a poziomem zaspokojenia tych oczekiwań. Poziom zadowolenia zależy od charakteru tej rozbieżności. Może ona dotyczyć od jednego do kilku oczekiwań, których zaspokojenie może być oceniane według różnych kryteriów.

Ponadto, im ważniejsze jest dane oczekiwanie, tym mocniej ocena jego zaspokojenia wpływa na zadowolenie z pracy. W ten sposób np. osoba przywiązująca większą wagę do zarobków będzie mocniej niezadowolona z pracy, jeśli jej zarobki są niskie, niż osoba, która przywiązuje mniejszą wagę do zarobków – a być może pracuje w identycznych warunkach na identycznym stanowisku. W ten sposób w teorii Locke'a uwzględniane są różnice indywidualne w formie zbioru indywidualnych oczekiwań o różnych poziomach ważności. Ich ważność jest moderatorem związku pomiędzy poziomem zaspokojenia oczekiwań a poziomem satysfakcji.

Indywidualne skłonności
Teorie dyspozycyjne zadowolenia z pracy wyjaśniają jego powstawanie za pomocą indywidualnych predyspozycji, niezależnych od samej pracy i stosunku do niej. Każdy pracownik ma tendencje do określonego poziomu zadowolenia, który jest stosunkowo stały na przestrzeni czasu oraz zmian ról zawodowych. Potwierdzeniem tych teorii są badania nad bliźniętami, które w dorosłym życiu miały podobne poziomy zadowolenia z pracy.

Wpływ charakteru zadania
J. Richard Hackman i Greg R. Oldham zastosowali odwołali się do czynników ściśle związanych z zakresem obowiązków na danym stanowisku pracy, tworząc Model Charakteru Zadania. Według tego modelu warunki pracy są zgrupowane w pięć czynników: różnorodność kwalifikacji, jednoznaczność zadania, istotność zadania, autonomia decyzyjna, informacje zwrotne. Pod wpływem tych warunków kształtują się trzy rodzaje stanów psychologicznych: odczuwana sensowność, odczuwana odpowiedzialność za wynik, znajomość wyniku. Te stany mają z kolei wpływ na zadowolenie z pracy, nieobecności, motywację, itd. Według tego modelu poczucie zadowolenia nie byłoby zależne od miejsca pracy, płacy, atmosfery, a jedynie od wykonywanych zadań i postrzegania sensowności oraz wiedzy na temat znaczenia wyników i własnej odpowiedzialności. Wyniki pomiarów wskazywały, że najwyższe poczucie zadowolenia było deklarowane przez osoby, które wykonywały zadania postrzegane jako sensowne, znały ich wynik i czuły się za niego umiarkowanie odpowiedzialne.

Eugenie Bouchard: Usually we don't have so much free time,
Eugenie Bouchard photo:instagram.com/geniebouchard/
Canadian Eugenie Bouchard told us how she was affected by the prolonged interruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
"I think the hardest part is the lack of work and a plan. "I'm used to planning my life. It's like I'm in a total void now, it's psychologically difficult.
Usually we don't have so much free time, it's unusual for us. I was going to do some Challengers. I was just on my way to Vegas airport to fly to Guadalajara when my agent called me and said: "The tournament can be canceled without getting on a plane." And then it was like a movie, so I turned around and drove home waiting for new information. The next day, the tour was suspended for six weeks. When it's over, I'm going back to the tournaments as soon as possible because that's what I have to do," Tennis Channel quoted Bouchard as saying.

The Jim Jacobson Adventures Deluxe
Native format
Apple DOS 3.3
The Cave of the Mind by Jim Jacobson and Red Varnum is the third Eamon adventure and the first written by an author other than series-creator Donald Brown.
2 Premise
3.1 In Eamon Deluxe
5 In other adventures
In correspondence with Huw Williams in 2020, Jacobson recalls attending Apple II computer club meetings at the Computer Emporium in Des Moines, Iowa beginning around 1978-79, and there meeting Donald Brown who was then an actuarial student at Drake University and a "groupie" of the store. "Sometime during 1980 Donald came in to the Computer Emporium with his new game, Eamon," writes Jacobson. "All of us were floored."
Since Brown's game included a "developer's disk" for creating new adventures, Jacobson decided to try his hand at building his own, and while deciding what the adventure's story should be remembered an idea he'd discussed with his friend and colleague Red Varnum. (The two met in 1977 when Jacobson bought his first Apple II from the electronics store where Varnum worked.) He recalls:
I had had conversations in the past with Red Varnum about an adventure that happened in the adventurer's mind, rather than in a physical world. I created Cave of the Mind with that idea in mind, and I gave him co-credit for the adventure (even though I no longer worked for him.) I really consider that adventure pretty clumsy, but it was my first creative venture.
Jacobson says that when he brought in his completed adventure to show to the members of the club, he was very surprised and pleased at how excited they were, including Brown himself. After Cave of the Mind's success, Jacobson penned four more adventures.
You're preparing for your next adventure when you meet a short man outside the Main Hall who beckons you over and shows you a grail filled with a bubbling green potion. Telling you that you're a special adventurer fit for a great challenge, he hands you the grail with a wink, then disappears. You quaff the potion and find yourself magically transported to a dimly-lit stone room from which you must start your explorations.
Contrary to the introduction's promise of extreme challenge, The Cave of the Mind is a straightforward outing with no particularly difficult elements to overcome, though there is one death-trap and a couple of interesting effects to watch out for.
"Its six-foot palps snap nervously open and shut." (Venus Flytrap, Dionaea muscipula)
Exit the dimly-lit room and travel along the narrow tunnel to the east, dispatching the vampire bat you find there. Beyond is a T-intersection where a north-bound tunnel intersects the east-west one. Stay on the east tunnel to reach a small chamber made of quartz; defeat the enormous snake that lives there and take the valuable black pearl. Return to the T-intersection and head north.
You should now be at a four-way intersection. The archway to the east is the path forward, while the exits west and north lead to side chambers. The west chamber is actually the bottom of a deep open pit (though there's no way to climb out) and is inhabited by a wizard sitting by a television set; befriend the wizard and take the TV. In the north chamber is a lush garden where you encounter an enormous Venus Flytrap and find a diamond.
Going east from the 4-way intersection puts you in a large empty dining hall. To the east is the kitchen where you find a chef with a meat cleaver whom you may be able to befriend.
North from the dining hall is a corridor that leads first past a pair of guest rooms to the east and west. In the west room you can befriend or defeat the fencing master you find there and take a silver crucifix. The east room is empty except for a valuable painting, and has a closet to the south. The closet is empty, but carved on the wall is an inscription. Reading the inscription ("Peace begets peace. Put down your weapons and leave violence behind you.") causes all of your weapons to disappear. They're not gone for good, just scattered in other rooms of the adventure and you'll need to retrieve them.
Return to the corridor and continue north. You'll pass a side-tunnel to the east, which is the path forward, but for now explore to the north. Further on is a door to the east marked "do not enter"; obey this order, because by entering you will fall down an open elevator shaft and be killed. North, the tunnel terminates and you can get a miner's pick.
Go back south and take the east tunnel you passed before, which leads to a chamber where a troll guards a rolled piece of parchment. Defeat the troll and take the scroll, which reads: "This entitles the owner to one free cyber-bit should the owner make it out of here alive."
Continuing north from the chamber along the narrow tunnel you find a lead box; if you choose to open it, it will cast the power spell (with unpredictable and possibly deadly results), while a voice says, "Beware my magical spell... <Trilder!>"
Go north again into a very large room inhabited by a cyclops. Defeat him and take his magic club, and pick up the grail of green potion — drinking it is your means of exiting the adventure.
Before you leave, explore the side-chambers. To the east you'll find a woman, to the north an uncrossable chasm, and to the west a Cylon robot and a strange metal helmet (which despite it's appearance does nothing but is still valuable).
Quaff the potion and you find yourself back outside the Main Hall. If you held onto the scroll, you will receive the following message: "You win a free cyber-bit: tell the attendant and he will pay you."
In Eamon Deluxe
The Eamon Deluxe version incorporates new challenges and additions made by Frank Black, who states in the Eamon Deluxe Newsletter that roughly 50% of the revised adventure's content is new.
You can take the miner's pick back to the south room with the large snake, where using it on the wall will reveal a room containing a chest, a friendly character called A.J. (who will appear in subsequent adventures), and a harmonica which you will need later.
The wizard will not be your friend in the Eamon Deluxe version owing to being utterly absorbed by his TV. Taking the TV will make him angry and he will fight you for interrupting his favorite soap.
You will find some additional enemies in the room with the metal box, though they shouldn't cause trouble. After opening the box and being teleported elsewhere, you can also return to this room and find a ruby inside.
After passing through that room, you will find yourself bedeviled at various points by a mysterious booming voice.
Entering the open elevator shaft won't kill you; rather it will lead you to an out-of-order elevator car with a panel on the wall with a keyhole and a button. Pushing the button without the key has the chance to plunge you down the shaft so it's not recommended.
When you have defeated the cyclops, the game isn't over and you won't see the grail. Head east to meet the Cylon, but don't kill it. You will notice that the silvery helmet is described as a thought control helmet, so wear it and type "use helmet on Cylon" to make it an ally. Head into the west room to meet the woman called Jane; it turns out she is another vampire, so use the crucifix on her if she's giving trouble.
Return to where you fought the cyclops and head north to the chasm, then examine the suspicious quartz stone in the wall to find a musical note. Use the harmonica to magically bridge the chasm and head north.
While crossing the bridge, the voice you heard before threatens to vaporize the next person to enter its room, and isn't joking. Use the helmet on the Cylon again and it will walk north and get blasted by a ray, leaving only its feet. (Don't take the feet: they're heavy and worthless.)
Head north into the lab where you confront The Mind itself, a brain in a cybernetic skeletal body. However much damage you and your companions do, you cannot directly harm the mind; attacking the lab equipment is the key to defeating it.
Take the treasure and the key, then backtrack to the north/south passage where you found the miner's pick and head east into the elevator. Unlock the panel with the key, then push the button and you will ascend to a small attic room where you see the little man who gave you the grail. The man turns out to be a robot with a chest full of grails and money (it seems The Mind has been luring adventurers here to rob them); take the cash and the grail and drink to finish up. If you have A.J. and the chef with you, you will be told where they went following the adventure. You will also get a free autobot symbol in exchange for your cyberbit as well.
Reviewer Tom Zuchowski describes Cave of the Mind as "strictly for beginners and hack'n'slash fans", rating it a 3 out of 10, with a difficulty of 4 for beginners and much less for experienced players. The Eamon Adventurer's Guild rates it at 3.2, the average of seven ratings.
Reviewer Luke Hewitt however, reviewing the Eamon Deluxe version was far more taken with the adventure, awarding it an over all rating of 7 though still agreeing with the difficulty of 4. He praised the lighthearted and quirky atmosphere, plus the many colourful descriptions and affects, and enjoyed the surprises which both Jim Jacobson and Frank Black added to the adventure, including the addition of the title character "the Mind" itself as an overall antagonist.
In other adventures
The Cyclops reappears when he is kidnapped by Nazis in Camp Eamon.
In the adventure's Eamon Deluxe adaptation, several characters go on to further Jim Jacobson Adventures if they escape the cave as friends. The chef, for example, reappears in both The Zyphur Riverventure and The Abductor's Quarters, as does the Eamon Deluxe-only character A.J.
A man-eating Venus Flytrap like the one in the cave is mentioned in Malleus Maleficarum: the wizard Zinnah says he encountered one in Grunewald and defeated it with a Wand of Defoliation. Another Flytrap appears in The Adventurer's General Store.
Cylons are the robotic enemies in the 1978 television series Battlestar Galactica.

WooCommerce and WordPress Go Passwordless with OwnID Free … – Yahoo Finance
Exciting news for online store owners: Any WooCommerce store can now implement passwordless login to streamline purchase flow and reduce user drop rate using the free no-code OwnID plugin.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — OwnID has released the first ever passwordless authentication WordPress plugin with full support for all WooCommerce stores. The plugin allows WordPress/WooCommerce store owners to set up passwordless authentication and activate passkeys in minutes. By eliminating the need to create and remember passwords, it also allows users to register and log in with just a few clicks on any device. OwnID offers the plugin at no cost, with up to 10,000 logins per month.
By implementing Passkeys support, site owners can improve their conversion rate by 20% or more, and reduce user drop-offs by 35%. This is based on case studies showing improved metrics following the deployment of the OwnID solution. Streamlining the purchase flow and reducing the user drop-off rate are crucial for store owners and marketers during the upcoming holiday season. Both can be achieved by eliminating one of the steps that hinders visitors trying to register or log in, the password.

Shares of semiconductor stocks Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), and Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ: SWKS) were rising on Tuesday, up as much as 3.4%, 4.6%, and 2.2%, before settling into gains of 2.7%, 4%, and 0.6%, respectively, as of 1:42 p.m. ET. The sector-wide optimism was helped along by a positive note from Bank of America semiconductor analyst Vivek Arya this morning, along with continued optimism over moderating inflation and the broader economy. Arya wrote, "We assume a soft-landing (nonmemory semi sales down [less than 5% year over year], also confirmed by recent Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) results/outlook) as consumer chip inventory correction is completed by [the first half] and as industrial/auto chip pricing remains resilient."

The conventional wisdom outlook for 2023 is mixed – most market watchers and economists would say that a recession is likely during the first half of the year, with disagreements centered more on the duration and depth of a downturn than its likelihood, and a rebound will come in the second half, leading to stock markets finishing this year about where they began. Weighing in from Morgan Stanley, chief Us equity strategist Mike Wilson notes the conventional wisdom, saying: "Both the sell and buy
On a generally down Tuesday for the stock market, Verizon Communications' (NYSE: VZ) shares did worse than those of many other companies. The telecom giant saw its stock price erode by nearly 2.5%, amid a general slump in tech stocks and related titles, combined with a discouraging price cut from a prominent bank. Before market open, analyst Bryan Craft of Deutsche Bank enacted a 10% cut to his level on Verizon stock.
The expected layoffs would be the latest in the U.S. technology sector, where companies including Amazon.com Inc and Meta Platforms Inc have announced retrenchment exercises in response to slowing demand and a worsening global economic outlook. Microsoft's move could indicate that the tech sector may continue to shed jobs. "From a big picture perspective, another pending round of layoffs at Microsoft suggests the environment is not improving, and likely continues to worsen," Morningstar analyst Dan Romanoff said.

After 2022's inflation-driven market meltdown, 2023's bogey number 1 appears to be the fear of a global recession. However, Sharmin Mossavar-Rahmani, CIO of Goldman Sachs' wealth-management segment, does not necessarily think this is a particularly bad omen for the stock market. "We're not arguing that today's valuations fully discount a recession, but considering last year's equity drawdown, we do think a significant part of any valuation reset has already occurred," Mossavar-Rahmani opined.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) has ruffled some investors' feathers in recent weeks, as it has slashed prices of its electric vehicle (EV) offerings, first in China and then in Europe and the U.S. Ramifications from those moves continue to drive momentum in the stock. Today that momentum is to the upside, with Tesla stock jumping almost 7% at its morning high. As of 11:15 a.m. ET, Tesla shares were still trading up by 4.6%.
Russia's current account – a measure of the difference between all money coming into a country through trade, investment and transfers, and what flows back out – came in at $227.4 billion, up 86% from 2021.

After a brief pause for the holiday weekend, shares of cybersecurity stocks are moving higher Tuesday morning, with Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT) tacking on 2% through 11 a.m. ET, CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ: CRWD) rising 2.6%, and Zscaler (NASDAQ: ZS) leading the sector higher with a 2.9% gain. As Slate Magazine reports this morning, the Biden Administration "is getting much more aggressive" in the field of cybersecurity — potentially yielding financial benefits for cybersecurity companies including CrowdStrike, Zscaler, and Fortinet. Describing the new, not-yet-public 35-page National Cybersecurity Strategy (NCS) document that President Biden will soon sign, Slate says that on the one hand, the policy "authorizes U.S. defense, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies to go on the offensive, hacking into the computer networks of criminals and foreign governments."

Offers discounts to people who quit smoking.
Philip Morris International (PMI), the tobacco company that sells Marlboro cigarettes, is launching a wholly owned subsidiary, Reviti, that will initially sell life insurance in the United Kingdom before expanding into more markets overseas.
The company said people who quit smoking for at least a year will receive an average 50% discount. People who switch to e-cigarettes will receive an average 2.5% discount on premiums, while those who switch to Philip Morris' heated tobacco product iQOS for three months will receive an average 25% discount. Reviti said it is determining the discounts based on scientific data related to the products and customer health risk.
Philip Morris International is separate from Philip Morris USA and does not sell products in the U.S. CEO Andre Calantzopoulos told CNBC in an interview that the company wants to eventually stop selling cigarettes altogether.

p>This week's show about the evolution of intelligence features a segment on the ability of cuttlefish to change the colors and patterns of their skin to match their surroundings. As Roger Hanlon, senior scientist at Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory in Massachusetts, describes in "Feather Knows Best", this helpful adaptation has been honed to the point that the cuttlefish can undergo this transformation in the blink of an eye. In the video above, a cuttlefish floats just above the ocean floor, its color ranging from purple to yellow. At about 27 seconds in, it suddenly takes on the colors and pattern of the ocean floor, and if you didn't see it happen, you'd probably swim right by without seeing the animal at all. At least, that's what it hopes.
What's really amazing is that it seems to change not only its color, but it's size and texture as well.

Summary of Work An understanding of magnetic order in materials is fundamental to determining their applications. The orientation of the individual magnetic moments in a material depends upon the interaction with the rest of the lattice which is determined by the three-dimensional molecular structure of the solid. The two most common magnetic configurations are ferromagnetic, where all of the electron spins of the magnetic atoms align, or antiferromagnetic, where the closest spins of the magnetic atoms anti-align (Cullity). The magnetic properties of solids depends on how the electron spins interact in the solid. While there are many well-known theoretical models behind these magnetic coupling properties described above, certain coupling relationships exhibiting particular properties intermittently are relatively unexplored. Both the Ising and Heisenberg methods have been included in Matlab which can be easily modified to study ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism as well as change the relative positions of the spins on a one-, two- or three-dimensional lattice. After replicating and understanding several peer-reviewed theoretical models with Matlab, a model provided by the Paul Scherrer Institute of a distorted KCu3As2O7 (OD) 3 molecular section within a kagome lattice which observes spin exchange parameters was dissected to observe differentiation that occurs in the spinning directions of the atoms over time. It was found that there is great variation that occurs in the directionality of the atoms over a period of time in this particular model which could then be observed to analyze correlation with specific properties exhibited by this type of material.


VANCOUVER, Jan. 21, 2019 /CNW/ - 7-Eleven Canada has collaborated with Sony Pictures Consumer Products, Ghost Corps, publisher FourThirtyThree Inc. (4:33), and developer Next Age to bring the augmented reality location-based game Ghostbusters World to Canadian stores. The collaboration, which brings together legacy brands 7-Eleven and Ghostbusters, will transform all 7-Eleven stores in Canada into 'Dimensional Doors' where Ghostbusters World players can collect traps, weapons and other resources that will help them take down ghosts like Slimer, Fearsome Flush, Boogaloo and more. 7-Eleven Dimensional Doors will have an increased spawn rate for 3 ghosts: Goast, Ghost Buffalo, and Sandman.
Ghostbusters World leverages the latest in AR technology with Google's ARCore and Apple's ARKit to create an immersive world where ghosts roam the streets, transforming anyone with a mobile phone into a ghostbuster tasked with fighting and trapping ghosts straight out of their favourite Ghostbusters films, TV shows, comic books and video games.
Within the game, Dimensional Doors act as hubs where players can find everything from weapons to in-game experiences – and now snacks! With over 630 7-Eleven locations from BC to Ontario acting as Dimensional Doors, players can fuel up on Slurpee® and other 7-Eleven favourites while they collect in-game items and capture ghosts spawning in-store.
"As the largest name in convenience retail, 7-Eleven is always looking for innovative ways to provide our customers with the best in-store experiences," said Doug Rosencrans, VP and General Manager of 7-Eleven Canada. "For today's consumer, this means bridging the gap between mobile devices and physical retail locations."
For 7-Eleven, augmented reality technology plays a key role in bridging this gap by marrying mobile technology with convenience and fun. With Ghostbusters World, the convenience retailer hopes to continue to reinvent convenience while creating memorable experiences for their customers.
"We are thrilled to work with 7-Eleven to bring special activations for Ghostbusters World to their locations across Canada," says Hyunseok Suh, CEO of NextAge. "As the game's first co-branded effort, we believe this collaboration will mean exciting things for our players as well as 7-Eleven customers and we look forward to expanding on the relationship in the future."
For a snack, a Slurpee® and good old-fashioned ghost fight, customers can head to any 7-Eleven location in Canada. For more in-store experiences and deals, download the 7-Eleven app at www.7Rewards.ca.
Ghostbusters World is now available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play. For more information, visit www.ghostbustersworld.com.

Health hazard evaluation report: HETA-88-104-2207, ASARCO - Troy Unit Mine, Troy, Montana.
Cornwell-RJ; Knutti-EB
Morgantown, WV: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, HETA 88-104-2207, 1992 Apr; :1-48
https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/hhe/reports/pdfs/1988-0104-2207.pdf
In response to a request from the United Mine Workers of America, an investigation was made of possible exposures to diesel exhaust, silica (14808607) and noise at the ASARCO Troy Unit Mine (SIC-1044), Troy, Montana. This silver mine was also a significant copper producer. Approximately 314 persons were employed in two basic operations of mining and ore concentration. The ore was mined by the room and pillar method. Extraction calls for drilling, blasting, scaling and roof bolting, mucking and hauling. Exposures to nitrogen-dioxide (10102440) ranged from 0.16 to 4.61 parts per million (ppm) some of which were in excess of the recommended NIOSH limit of 1ppm. Coal-tar-pitch volatiles ranged in concentration from to 3.99mg/m3 with a mean concentration of 1.60mg/m3. Respirable dust concentrations ranged from 0.26 to 16.74mg/m3 with a mean of 2.24mg/m3. The mean quartz content of surface dust samples was 24% and of underground samples was 7%. Noise exposures ranged from 65.5 to 103.8 decibels-A for the 8 hour time weighted average samples. Of the 22 personal dosimeter readings obtained underground, 21 exceeded the limits as did six of the 19 readings taken on the surface. The authors conclude that a health hazard existed due to exposures to respirable silica, noise and diesel combustion products. The authors recommend specific measures to reduce the potential hazardous exposures and enhance the company's medical surveillance program.
