I'm off later today for a short trip to Copenhagen, a place I always enjoy visiting. I particularly remember a very nice time I had there back in 1990 when I was invited by Bernard Jones, who used to work at the Niels Bohr Institute. I stayed there several weeks over the May/June period which is the best time of year for Denmark; it's sufficiently far North that the summer days are very long, and when it's light until almost midnight it's very tempting to spend a lot of time out late at night.
As well as being great fun, that little visit also produced my most-cited paper. I've never been very good at grabbing citations – I'm more likely to fall off bandwagons rather than jump onto them – but this little paper seems to keep getting citations. It hasn't got that many by the standards of some papers, but it's carried on being referred to for almost twenty years, which I'm quite proud of; you can see the citations per year statistics are fairly flat. The model we proposed turned out to be extremely useful in a range of situations, hence the long half-life.
I don't think this is my best paper, but it's definitely the one I had most fun working on. I remember we had the idea of doing something with lognormal distributions over coffee one day, and just a few weeks later the paper was finished. In some ways it's the most simple-minded paper I've ever written – and that's up against some pretty stiff competition – but there you go.
The lognormal seemed an interesting idea to explore because it applies to non-linear processes in much the same way as the normal distribution does to linear ones. What I mean is that if you have a quantity Y which is the sum of n independent effects, Y=X1+X2+…+Xn, then the distribution of Y tends to be normal by virtue of the Central Limit Theorem regardless of what the distribution of the Xi is If, however, the process is multiplicative so Y=X1×X2×…×Xn then since log Y = log X1 + log X2 + …+log Xn then the Central Limit Theorem tends to make log Y normal, which is what the lognormal distribution means.
The lognormal is a good distribution for things produced by multiplicative processes, such as hierarchical fragmentation or coagulation processes: the distribution of sizes of the pebbles on Brighton beach is quite a good example. It also crops up quite often in the theory of turbulence.
I;ll mention one other thing about this distribution, just because it's fun. The lognormal distribution is an example of a distribution that's not completely determined by knowledge of its moments. Most people assume that if you know all the moments of a distribution then that has to specify the distribution uniquely, but it ain't necessarily so.
If you're wondering why I mentioned citations, it's because it looks like they're going to play a big part in the Research Excellence Framework, yet another new bureaucratical exercise to attempt to measure the quality of research done in UK universities. Unfortunately, using citations isn't straightforward. Different disciplines have hugely different citation rates, for one thing. Should one count self-citations?. Also how do you aportion citations to multi-author papers? Suppose a paper with a thousand citations has 25 authors. Does each of them get the thousand citations, or should each get 1000/25? Or, put it another way, how does a single-author paper with 100 citations compare to a 50 author paper with 101?
Or perhaps the REF should use the logarithm of the number of citations instead?

Citations vary within sub-disciplines as well. As you suggest, if numbers are taken at face value there is going to be a big discrepancy between fields that tend to pile on the authors and those that do not.
That said recent news from Research Fortnight hints that the bibliometrics will not play as huge a role as originally thought.
I did try to keep up with the machinations of REF, but when it became obvious that they were going around in circles I lost interest. At some point I'll try to figure out what they're doing but to be honest at the moment it looks like they haven't any idea themselves.
Citationism is a Bad Thing because it is over-optimistic about the correlation between quality and quantity, and it neglects hysteresis (i.e., that it takes time for a result to be properly appreciated). Expert opinion is better, but for that you need experts who are broad as well as deep, genuinely impartial, and widely trusted. Not easy to find. To tackle this problem we perhaps need to consider supply side as well as demand side of science funding.
American rowing moved, a while ago, from picking squads by coaches' intuition to picking the best oarsmen on the ergometer. They did this because people who were not picked were resorting to the law. Their results immediately went downhill.
PS Any function that is non-analytic will not be reconstructible from its power-law moments alone.
What are the odds that the REF will end up looking very similar to the RAE?
Apart from the usual criticism of bibliometry, let me mention three more. First, even within a subdiscipline, policies vary from institute to institute and even within an institute. For example, some professors want to be on every paper written by someone paid for by money they were awarded, the justification being that the effectiveness of the grant will be judged (partly) on the number of papers it produces. Second, people have different ideas as to when a contribution becomes large enough to be moved from acknowledgement to co-authorship. Third, it is a subjective decision when to cite something. Consider Bernhard Schmidt. He had only one refereed-journal paper. His invention of the Schmidt camera was, along with photography and the CCD, one of the most important contributions to optical astronomy. (Photography was invented for reasons which had nothing to do with astronomy. CCDs as well, though their development was heavily influenced by their use in astronomy. The Schmidt camera was Schmidt applying his genius to an astronomical problem.) However, few papers which make use of Schmidt-camera observations cite his paper. This is also a good example of the importance of indirect citations. I don't know if the original POSS paper cited Schmidt's paper (Ein lichtstarkes komafreies Spiegelsystem. in Centralzeitung für Optik und Mechanik 52 (1931) S. 25-26), but even if it did, most users of the POSS—and the POSS has been involved in a huge number of astronomy papers—don't. Suppose that Schmidt only had one citation, in the POSS paper. That would greatly underestimate his importance.
Schmidt was a very colourful character. He never had a paid position in astronomy, preferring instead to make his living grinding lenses and mirrors commercially—by hand. And he had only one hand (having lost the other in an experiment with gunpowder). Legend has it that he didn't need optical tests to determine where more polishing was needed (say, changing a spherical to a parabolic surface), but could feel the difference with his fingers. The director of the Hamburg Observatory had the sense to send him along with Walter Baade on an eclipse expedition (a hugely expensive endeavour, including some booze disguised as photographic chemicals to fool the customs inspectors) which led to his development of the Schmidt camera. What director of a modern-day observatory would allow the equivalent of a one-armed lens grinder to work at his institute, even as a volunteer?


The shielding effect of electrically conductive materials is based on field reflection caused by induced eddy currents in the material. However, this mechanism does not work at low frequencies, thus non-magnetic materials like copper or aluminium are almost ineffective against low-frequency or static magnetic fields.
To effectively shield static or low-frequency magnetic fields, ferro-magnetic materials are used. Compared to air, they have a magnetic conductivity (permeability) which is several orders of magnitude higher. The field is redirected through the magnetic material and the field strength in the inner of a magnetically shielded space is significantly reduced.
where µ = relative permeability, d = wall thickness and D = diameter of the cylinder.
Real shielding problems can rarely be solved by analytic methods. Also FEM simulations often yield significant deviations from reality.

"A pleasure to walk and a challenge to run"
Brought to you by SKFR Volunteers; "Supporting our Community."
Some of my more recent favorite events!
Sponsored by the SKFR Volunteer Association as a means to sustain funding for a local scholarship, the HotFoot 5K is the brain storm of RS Lucke, which debuted in 2002 as a second running event for South Kitsap, and is intended to be a quality trail run to span decades.
Despite not possessing a trim runner's body anymore, I am a running enthusiast. Although finding time to train is difficult with my schedule, distance running is my favorite. Most of the runs I do are marathons. I look forward to a time (retirement) when running can be a priority, and I can lead a similar life to my local heroes, Bob and Lenore.
For now, the HotFoot 5K is a modest dream come true.
A desire to direct a running event was in me at an early age. But like most people, my life was filled with necessity; young family, mortgage, new career, etc. Plus, I was already evolved with a volunteer organization as a volunteer firefighter with South Kitsap Fire and Rescue. Even I had to admit that there was no additional time for me to conduct a running event.
After all, there is so much to consider. First you need a course, then a motivated crew of people, and specialized equipment to make it happen. Not to mention all the finer details; permission from the community, insurance, coordination with public services, etc.
All that creates a big, "Wow, how can I make that become a reality?" Even just accomplishing it once is an undertaking, and I was not about to move forward with it unless I honestly believed it was going to be a lasting adventure spanning the years.
Fortunately, opportunity knocked, and many of the puzzle pieces became available.
Quick back ground. - At the beginning of 2000, members of the South Kitsap Fire and Rescue Volunteer Association were reaching a turning point. During previous years, the association had spiked in revenue due to a contract with the Bremerton Raceway. That relationship was very beneficial in the beginning, but the SKFR Volunteer Association was unable to manage the successful growth of the Bremerton Raceway. In short; we were ill equipped to support them, and therefore revenue from them was going to be lost. That loss was threatening to impact many of the programs the association enjoyed; one of which was the annual scholarship.
Out of the programs the association was managing, it was the scholarship program that I least wanted to lose. Other members of the association felt the same, meaning there was a motivated group of people to support the work effort. I decided to move forward with the concept.
By 2001 I had researched locations, made contacts, and arranged for resources to debut a 5K run at SK Community Park. I presented the concept to SKFRVA as a means to continue the scholarship program. The membership accepted the challenge and approved sponsorship of the event for June 2002. The HotFoot 5K was born.
Although this event draws a small audience (averaging 120 participants annually), it turns out that 120 ish participants is a very good fit. It provides enough entries for the scholarship to stay afloat and there is no over crowding along the course trails. It is my/our hope that the experience for those who participate is a positive one.
For the HotFoot 5K, I place attention on a few basic elements. I strive to keep the entry cost low, the course is to be accurately measured and well marked, and T-shirts will be quality made and have an original design each year.
Admittedly I am not a good solicitor. Additional sponsorships for the event are rare because I prefer to provide a service to achieve the financial gain, and the 120ish participant level is not a lot of publicity draw to attract the interest of many businesses. Besides, a quality experience is more important than trying to pack in the numbers. To assist in keeping the cost low, I separate out the expense of a T-shirt. This allows people who have no desire to possess an additional shirt in their closet, drawer, or garage rag bin to also not be subject to its cost. In addition, the HotFoot course is engineered to not require traffic control. That too, is a huge savings which I can pass on to the participants.
The course is personally measured to ensure accuracy. Because a runner is moving fast and needs to respond quickly, there are over two dozen large signs to guide runners along the course. Flour and fire line tape is also used to keep the runners on the correct path. Flour on roots and other items on the foot path identify stepping hazards.
T-shirts are made available to those runners or walkers, like myself, who desire an event trophy. They are always quality silk screen (not iron on patch or large ink blotch) shirts with a unique design for each year. Attention is given to ensure the design will breath for the person who wears it.
Of course this event is nothing without the efforts of many behind the scenes. In addition to the solid team work from members of the SKFR Volunteer Association setting up and breaking down the event each year, SKFR as a department has supported this event since the beginning.
Fire Chief Brown and Senter have both personally contributed to event day activities. Various Fire Commissioners have taken the time to cheer runners, start the race, and hand out awards over the years.
The South Kitsap Amateur Radio Club has collected a group of volunteers to provide course monitoring for participant safety every year. They are always alert to radio a problem so the SKFR bike paramedic team can respond as quickly as possible if necessary.
The SK Track and Cross Country Boosters have provided finish area equipment over the years.
Not to forget that the SK Park Commissioners and now the Kitsap Parks and Rec. who have allowed the use of the park for the HotFoot 5K.
All of these organizations play an important role in the success of the HotFoot 5K. I thank them and all the various community volunteers who have made this a quality run each and every year.
Significant individuals who have my personal appreciation for putting forth consistent and tireless effort are Lawrence, Mary, Merv, Mike, and Debi.

Couple Buoyed by Mayo Clinic Care in Sickness and Health
By SharingMayoClinic
For Gary and Carolyn Lockner, a trip to Mayo Clinic is more than a doctor's appointment. To the Lockners, Mayo Clinic not only provides physical healing, it also offers emotional support and renewed hope.
Gary and Carolyn Lockner's love affair started more than 50 years ago when the two were college students at Bemidji State University in Bemidji, Minnesota. As their relationship matured through the years from sweethearts, to spouses, to parents, so too did their love.
Their commitment to one another became particularly clear when Carolyn developed breast cancer 20 years into their romance. The couple wasted no time seeking treatment near their home in northern Minnesota. But the cancer, which was found to be estrogen receptor positive, persisted through tumor removal, a mastectomy and years of hormone therapy. Ultimately, it spread to Carolyn's bones.
At that point, Gary told Carolyn that he was going to find her the best doctor in the world. His quest led them to Mayo Clinic. At Mayo, Carolyn was seen by several physicians in the Department of Oncology, including Matthew Goetz, M.D., who was a first-year medical trainee at that time. During one of Carolyn and Gary's early meetings with Dr. Goetz, Gary asked the doctor two questions about his wife's treatment.
"The first question he answered," Gary recalls. "The second one, he said, 'I don't know. Let me go check.' So he left the room for two minutes, and when he came back he said, 'The head of Mayo breast cancer oncology, Dr. Ingle, said…'
That statement was music to Gary's ears. "I choked up right there because I had told my wife I was going to get her the best doctor in the world, and by Jove, I did," he says. "I got Dr. Goetz and everything behind him. Mayo Clinic empowered him to give her the best care."
Experienced, innovative approach
Several years after Carolyn's initial visit, Dr. Goetz joined the staff in Mayo's Department of Oncology. Since 2014, he has directed the Breast Cancer Research Program, which includes the Mayo Clinic Breast Cancer Specialized Program of Research Excellence, and he co-directs the Women's Cancer Program. Through the decades, Dr. Goetz has developed a clinical and research focus on Carolyn's type of breast cancer, all the while caring for her and offering her the most progressive therapy.
"The volunteers, the staff, the doctors, facilities, everything instills faith in the patient because they know there are people who are going to help."
Gary Lockner
When Dr. Goetz first saw Carolyn in 1999, treatment options for breast cancer were more limited. As each year passed, however, additional drugs were approved. As Carolyn's cancer evolved to become resistant to a certain medication, she's been able to receive newly approved targeted therapies, which has led to prolonged remissions.
"I'm glad to be part of the process where they've been able to use different drugs and treatments and learn from them," Carolyn says. "That's really an honor."
Individualized, compassionate care
Carolyn's Mayo Clinic experience has been so positive over the years that when Gary was diagnosed with lung cancer two years ago, choosing Mayo for his own care was easy.
"Mayo Clinic is magical, a place of miracles," Gary says. "The volunteers, the staff, the doctors, facilities, everything instills faith in the patient because they know there are people who are going to help."
Diagnosed in 2016 with diverticulitis, a painful inflammation of the intestinal tissue, Gary had a CT scan taken of his abdomen. In addition to showing Gary's intestines, the scan included portions of his lower lungs. It revealed two nodular growths, one in each lung.
Gary's care team in northern Minnesota determined that the growths were stage 1 adenocarcinoma — a type of non-small cell lung cancer. It was decided that the larger nodule in the left lung required immediate surgical removal. The operation would involve opening Gary's chest and cutting between the ribs to access the tumor. Gary asked his physician if it was possible to remove the tumor with minimally invasive surgery.
"He said, 'No, my guy's not trained for that,'" Gary says, "So I decided to go to Mayo Clinic."
At Mayo Clinic, Gary met Stephen Cassivi, M.D., in Thoracic Surgery, who recommended thoracoscopic surgery as an alternative to open surgery. Because Gary also had an underlying problem with the way his blood clots, using a minimally invasive operation to remove his tumor was an important component of his care, Dr. Cassivi says.
"The minimally invasive approach to the chest was very well-suited to Mr. Lockner," he says.
The day before Gary went into surgery, he says he saw an article in the Rochester newspaper reporting that Mayo Clinic's Department of Pulmonary Medicine had been named No. 1 in the nation.
"Do you know what that does to a person — to read that the hospital where you're about to get an operation was named number one? It just took away all the fear," Gary says.
"It's the efficiency and the dedication that impressed us — the way things were handled quickly and seemed easy, and always with an optimistic attitude."
Carolyn Lockner
Gary's procedure went well, and the tumor was removed successfully. The second smaller nodule in Gary's right lung was removed during another thoracoscopic operation in 2017.
"This was clearly a cancer that, left to its own devices, would become a problem. But we were able to get it in a timely fashion and remove it in a way that would not slow him down. That is clearly important for him," Dr. Cassivi says. "This gentleman is an active man, and he has to look after his wife. They have to look after each other. So we want to keep him as highly functional as possible."
Gary's experience deepened the appreciation the couple feels for their care teams.
"It's the efficiency and the dedication that impressed us — the way things were handled quickly and seemed easy, and always with an optimistic attitude," Carolyn says. "That made you have a lot of hope."
Empathetic, encouraging atmosphere
When the Lockners began traveling to Mayo Clinic, they lived in the small town of Baudette, Minnesota, and Gary set out to make the seven-hour trips to Rochester into mini-vacations. With visits to antique shops, meals at favorite restaurants and days filled with smiles from familiar people committed to their health, their Mayo Clinic visits have never been a burden, the Lockners say. In fact, the trips are quite the opposite.
"Just knowing that we're going there is, to me, comforting," Carolyn says. "I don't worry about things because I know that we're at the best place with the best people. I know it's just the best care, so it takes away a lot of the worry and wondering."
Through the years, the Lockners have developed some habits when they visit Mayo. One is spending time listening to the grand piano being played in the Gonda Building's Landow Atrium.
"The first time I was there, we looked over the balcony, and there was the piano, and this lady with long black hair was playing so beautifully," Carolyn says. "She looked up and caught my glance. She had this big smile on her face, and it gave me a lot of hope. When we're back, we sometimes catch her, and she's still got long black hair and that big smile. I just think that's a wonderful thing."
For Gary, another Mayo Clinic tradition is sketching — a hobby he enjoys while waiting for appointments. Sometimes it's flowers. Other times, it's birds. But whatever the subject, the drawings give Gary an outlet for his nervous energy. Gary's sketches have caught the attention of people around him at Mayo over the years.
"Miracles beget miracles. Hope begets hope. It's everything about the place. It helps people survive, and the people themselves help each other because of it."
"He would always be working on his drawing, and he sometimes even has offered to give me a copy," Dr. Goetz says.
Fellow patients have remarked on his colorful sketches, which Gary happily has given away. They are gifts to survivors like his Carolyn — women who spend years facing down an unrelenting opponent, he says. The drawings allow Gary to express his feelings about, and serve as an extension for, the care and kindness that pervades Mayo Clinic.
"Miracles beget miracles. Hope begets hope. It's everything about the place," he says. "It helps people survive, and the people themselves help each other because of it."

Katy Perry Is Ready to Make Amends with Taylor Swift: 'We Need to Be Unified'
in Entertainment 24.05.2017
Katy Perry may have just released a diss track about her former friend Taylor Swift, but that doesn't mean the pop star is looking to keep up their nearly three-year-long feud.
While promoting her new album on SiriusXM Tuesday, Katy Perry said she's ready to make amends with Swift, Joinfo.com reports with reference to People magazine.
"I am ready because I think when women unite, the world is going to heal," she said. "I don't have any beef really with anyone. I love everyone, and honestly I love everyone and I think we need to unite more than ever. I think we see that today especially — like we need to come together and love on each other today.
"Don't matter where you come from, don't matter what you believe, don't matter which music you like the most, we are the same and we need to be unified," she added.
It's a nice thought, but perhaps a confusing stance for Perry — who just released a song in which she seems to call Swift "calculated" and "a joker" among other things.
Still, according to Perry, she made the first move to fix their bond and only came back after a series of jabs made by the "Shake It Off" singer — including Swift's song about Perry, "Bad Blood."
"I did try and reach out to [Swift]. I tried to do the right thing, the good thing," Perry said. "And, you know, she shut me down and wrote a song."
As Perry told Late Late Show host James Corden during his latest Carpool Karaoke installment that aired Monday night, her falling out with Perry started over backup dancers.
"It's so crazy. There's three backing dancers that went on tour with her tour. And they asked me before they went on tour if they could go. And I was like, 'Yeah of course. I'm not on a record cycle. Get the work — she's great. But I will be on record cycle probably in about a year. So be sure to put a 30-day contingency clause in your contract so you can get out if you want to join me when I say I'm going back on,' " Perry recounted to Corden.
"So that year came up and I texted all of them because I'm very close with them. And I said, 'Just FYI I'm about to start.' And they said, 'Okay, I'm going to talk to management about it.' And they did and they got fired. And I tried to talk to her about it and she wouldn't speak to me. It was a full shut down," she continued.
In 2014, Swift told Rolling Stone that her song "Bad Blood" was about another female artist, though she has yet to disclose who specifically. "She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour," Swift said. "She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me."
And though "Swish Swish" appears to be Perry's response to "Bad Blood," the star says it isn't meant to be seen as an attack but as a song about empowerment.
"'Swish Swish' just basically is like, I stay winning," Perry told SiriusXM. "I just like, you know, I'm above that crap. I'm gonna stay winning. You gonna try to hold me down, I'm gonna come out like a phoenix rising."

The hospital was the 130th facility out of approximately 6,000 in the nation to achieve the highest level of certification offered by The Joint Commission, which acknowledges UPMC Mercy's ability to treat the most complex stroke cases.
Previously, UPMC Mercy was a Joint Commission-accredited Primary Stroke Center, which recognized the hospital's stroke program and its efforts to improve stroke treatment and outcomes. In 2015, UPMC Mercy made the choice to pursue the advanced certification.
"To make this new Comprehensive Stroke Center designation a reality, we committed the resources necessary to enhance our overall stroke care competencies, and the team dedicated two years to the rigorous process that was required to achieve the certification," said Michael Grace, president of UPMC Mercy.
Advancing from a Primary to a Comprehensive Stroke Center required UPMC Mercy to expand its round-the-clock medical services, develop dedicated neurovascular intensive care unit beds, conduct additional training for staff, collect medical data and increase existing stroke resources. The hospital also improved its processes to care for a larger number of stroke patients.
As the home of the UPMC Rehabilitation Institute, which includes a dedicated stroke rehabilitation unit, UPMC Mercy is now in a unique position to provide care for patients throughout their entire stroke treatment and recovery process. Patients have access to advanced diagnostic capabilities and state-of-the-art neurovascular technology.
Visit the UPMC Mercy website for additional information about the hospital's stroke services. To make an appointment, call 412-232-8840, and to learn about monthly support groups, call 412-232-8738.

Q: 2 External Lists Can't be together in the same Site Collection This 2 external lists are different projects, which developed by VS 2012. So when I deploy one of them, they have to not effect eachother. But these effects eachothers.
Here is the situation:

Project1 deployed , Project 2 doesn't work.
Project2 deployed , Project 1 doesn't work.

How can I avoid it?

FX's Legion season 2 finale ended on a nail-biting note with its surprising plot twist that Dan Stevens' David Haller, the powerful telekinetic, telepathic mutant is really the villain. It's still a mystery what fans can expect from the upcoming season but the show creators are ready to go into production later this year.
A recent listing from Production Weekly has revealed that Legion season 3 will begin filming on November 27 in Los Angeles where the last season was also shot. Season 3 also has a new working title which is "CH3" along with "Clubhouse".
Filming of season 3 is expected to go on till March 26. It still does not have a premiere date assigned yet and neither do we know if fans' will be getting more episodes in the upcoming season.
Season 1 consisted of eight episodes while the next season added 3 more hour-long long episodes making it a total of 11 for season 2. But the showrunner also expressed his opinion that a 60-minute episode is too long and that even he finds himself wandering off when watching long episodes. Perhaps, there's a possibility that the runtime could be reduced in Season 3.
Back in August, it came to fans' attention that showrunner Noah Hawley had prepared 4 scripts for Season 3. Though we know nothing about it, Hawley has shared some details on what fans' can expect from the series.
It also looks like the Disney-Fox merger deal isn't going to be affecting this series in any way. Even showrunner Hawley had stated earlier that it has been business as usual.

Pentagon sees no imminent threat to Taiwan from Chinese buildup
By Meghann Myers and Joe Gould

A new report from the Pentagon details China's more provocative and aggressive actions toward Taiwan, but Defense Department officials say those actions do not mean an invasion will happen soon.
The annual China Military Power Report sent to Congress this week noted that the country's military overhaul is continuing apace, including the modernization of its capabilities and the expansion of its nuclear arsenal. It comes amid heightened tension between China and Taiwan, and as President Joe Biden is expected to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the coming months.
"I don't see any kind of imminent indications of an invasion," a senior defense official told reporters Monday. "We're definitely very focused on this level of more intimidating and coercive behavior, and watching closely to see how things unfold."
The report reiterates that China is the only country with the will and the military capacity, while still getting up to speed, to challenge what it describes as the U.S.-led "world order."
The country has set 2049 as its goal for achieving a "world-class" military that could presumably rival U.S. capabilities, to be achieved through weapons modernization, expanded military basing and advanced warfare capabilities, to include information operations.
China is also getting into the multidomain game, according to the report, dubbing their "new core operational concept" with the eerily familiar "MultiDomain Precision Warfare."
Like the U.S. doctrine, this approach involves advanced networking capabilities. Specifically, it "incorporates advances in big data and artificial intelligence to rapidly identify key vulnerabilities in the U.S. operational system and then combine joint forces across domains to launch precision strikes against those vulnerabilities," the report reads.
Much of the focus on modernization is aimed at Taiwan.
Taiwan is squarely in China's crosshairs, with an increase in 2021 of activity in the Taiwan strait, "to include increased flights into Taiwan's self-declared Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) and conducting island seizure exercises," the report found.
China's goal of modernization by 2027, to include "mechanization, informatization and intelligentization," would make its military "more credible" in its efforts to bring Taiwan under its control.
Beyond Taiwan, China is also likely looking into developing more overseas bases, beyond its current hub in Djibouti.
"The PRC has likely considered Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates, Kenya, Equatorial Guinea, Seychelles, Tanzania, Angola, and Tajikistan, among other places, as locations for PLA military logistics facilities," according to the report.
Nuclear weapons and beyond
China is continuing its accelerated nuclear expansion and has an estimated stockpile of more than 400 nuclear warheads ― which still number fewer than America's 3,750 nuclear weapons. At this pace, the third-largest nuclear armed power is likely to field a stockpile of 1,500 warheads by 2035, its target for "basically complete modernization" of its defense forces, the report said.
The country had kept its nuclear arsenal in the low hundreds for years, but last year's report said it was on track to have at least 1,000 by 2030, essentially tripling its arsenal within a decade. It's also building a land-sea-air triad of delivery vehicles similar to those of the U.S. and Russia ― including the H-6N air-to-air refuelable bomber, which it unveiled in 2019.

The U.S. acknowledged this month that China has fielding a new, intercontinental ballistic missile on six of its nuclear-powered submarines, meant to threaten the continental U.S. The senior defense official said Monday that China's Jin-class submarines are on patrol with the JL-3 missiles, which let them hit the U.S. without traveling as far from protected Chinese coasts.
Pentagon officials said that the overall ramp-up, as Beijing resists U.S. efforts to draw it into arms control talks, suggests China may be moving away from its stated aim of having just enough nuclear weapons to maintain its national security.
"They're going from what was often characterized as a minimum set of deterrence capabilities to one that's much more sophisticated in scope and also larger in size. So they're now kind of getting into the range of the middle nuclear powers here," the official said.
The Biden administration is moving ahead with plans for a new bomber, the B-21 Raider, due to be unveiled next week.
It will be accompanied by the LGM-35A Sentinel, also known as the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent, which will replace Washington's aging Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles. The Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine is due to come online by the end of the 2020s.
The administration's defense strategy, released in October, voices concern that the U.S. will, for the first time, face "two major nuclear powers as strategic competitors and potential adversaries," which will "create new stresses on stability and new challenges for deterrence, assurance, arms control, and risk reduction."

Last year, China added three new ICBM silo fields for a total of at least 300 new silos, the new report said. China's launch of roughly 135 ballistic missiles for testing and training last year, "was more than the rest of the world combined, excluding ballistic missile employment in conflict zones," the report said.
The report also flags Beijing's test of a new hypersonic weapon system in 2021, "building on previous progress in hypersonic weapon development." Pentagon officials have acknowledged China's test in July 2021 of a hypersonic glide vehicle and fractional orbital bombardment system ― which achieved the greatest distance flown, 40,000 kilometers, and longest flight time of any Chinese test.
As with last year's report, the Pentagon acknowledged China's fielding in 2020 of the DF-17 medium-range ballistic missile, equipped with a hypersonic glide vehicle designed to evade American missile defenses. Citing open source reporting, the report said the weapon appears designed to "strike foreign military bases and fleets in the Western Pacific."
For military modernization and attaining more credible military tools to annex Taiwan, China has set 2027, 2035 and 2049 as its milestone years. To that end, its air force is rapidly catching up with the west, with more realistic training and exercises but also air-to-air missiles and other air defenses, the defense official said.
In a sign of China's strides in domestic production, its J-10 and J-20 fighters are set to switch to Chinese-made WS-10 engines by the end of 2021. The report forecasts that China's first domestically produced high-bypass turbofan, the WS-20, will "probably" replace Russian engines by the end of 2022 after entering flight tests for its heavy transport aircraft.

Asthma in Children a Growing Concern
Pat Bennett
The steady worldwide increase of asthma among children in the past several decades clearly indicates that something is very wrong. The explosion could be partially due to changes in the nature of exposure to various allergens during the fetal and early childhood period.
The steady worldwide increase of asthma among children in the past several decades clearly indicates that something is very wrong. The explosion could be partially due to changes in the nature of exposure to various allergens during the fetal and early childhood period. Chemical additives in foods and pesticides used to control insects and weeds is part of the problem. So is the increased toxic emissions from industry and traffic. Such early exposure could influence the development of the child's immune system, resulting in an increased allergic response and a predisposition to respiratory disease.
Asthma is a condition that affects the airways in the lungs. The bronchial tubes of an asthmatic person are more sensitive when exposed to "triggers": substances or conditions that irritate these airways. The muscles in the walls of the bronchial tubes tighten and spasm and the inner lining of the tubes becomes inflamed, causing swelling, congestion and an excess mucus production.
The tubular inflammation usually brings on the symptoms of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and/or breathlessness, often so severe that they interfere with normal activities like exercise, sleep and speech. Sometimes, symptoms are life-threatening. They can vary from person to person and change daily, although they're often worse at night.
Children are still growing so their immune systems and detoxification mechanisms aren't fully developed, leaving them more vulnerable to chemical, physical and biological hazards in air, water and soil. Some babies are born with a predisposition to asthma, and many are diagnosed before they reach five years of age.
Colds and chest infections are listed by Health Canada as the most common asthma triggers. They are followed closely by exercise and sports. Tobacco smoke takes third place, followed by air pollution, cold air, pollen, stress, mould or mildew, dampness and humidity.
The Whole Food Factor
Some foods and medications, as well as exposure to certain chemicals and even temperature change can trigger an attack. Reactions to various foods have caused near fatalities in some, so it's important to determine if your child has any food allergies. Common ones include corn, sugar, dairy products, eggs, animal fats and oils, fish and seafood, peanuts, soybeans, nuts and seeds and their extracts, sulphites (preservatives often used in alcoholic beverages and on fruits and vegetables), monosodium glutamate (MSG), wheat or gluten and tartrazine (food dye).
Avoiding contaminated and denatured foods in favour of an unprocessed, organic, whole-food diet is the only sure way to eliminate food-related allergies. Flavour enhancers like tartrazine are often not required to be listed as ingredients, so mandatory labelling would reduce the risk of consuming them unknowingly. They currently show up in unexpected places, like commercial desserts. Sugar replacements (aspartame) should also be avoided.
There are other things parents can do to help control asthma. It's best to breastfeed babies, as processed baby foods may contain unlisted additives. Avoid smoking when pregnant or in the presence of small children. Keep your home clean and well ventilated to decrease the exposure of young children to dust mites, insects, moulds, animal hairs and other irritants.
Chemical Triggers
Outside the home, asthmatics have little control over the air they breathe and the toxins they're exposed to. According to Worldwatch, chemical companies are developing about three new chemicals every day. More than 150 million kilograms of toxic chemicals are currently released by manufacturing facilities into the Canadian environment each year. Their effects on asthmatics are usually not considered.
Consider what's happening on Prince Edward Island, where the rate of childhood asthma is one of the highest in the country. It was recently discovered that the island's fish were being killed by the thousands. The blame was placed on the spraying of five pesticides on a 100,000-acre potato crop. Cloudy red water flowed down the Westmoreland River when a severe thunderstorm caused pesticide run-off from nearby farm fields. More than an estimated 3,000 river-fish died, along with all other aquatic life.
In the wake of this incident, alarmed parents are calling for a ban on the five pesticides used to spray because they feel that these pesticides acted as triggers for childhood asthma. New provincial laws effective next year in PEI will prevent farmers from working land close to rivers. The province also plans to ask the federal government for tighter controls on pesticide use and for more research into less toxic chemicals and organic alternatives.
Chemical Residues in Food
A recent report by the Consumers Union of the United States entitled "Do You Know What You're Eating?" discusses the toxicity of North American produce. According to this document, peaches, apples, grapes, pears, green beans, winter squash (including pumpkin) and spinach have a high toxicity index, a measure of the frequency of pesticide detection, levels of residues and the relative toxicity of the residues detected.
Because children are physically small, the amount of chemical residues necessary for them to have an adverse reaction is substantially less than for adults. While an attempt has been made in North America to reduce excessive exposure among children, it's still wise to take precautions. Don't reduce the volume of fruits and vegetables you serve they offer substantial health benefits for children. Do seek out organic produce and peel or wash non-organic produce to reduce pesticide residue exposure.

I don't know why this is happening so frequently. I am using an apache 2.4.9 web server. In localhost mode It always worked perfectly. The error message in the console is: GET http://109.156.x.xx/check_session.php net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT.
the timeout is set at 30 seconds (which should be plenty);
The ajax code for this is:

      if(data == "lo"){
        //do something
      }else{
        //do something else

Efforts to implement 5G technology in Winter Park are underway. 5G services are expected to be available in the city before the end of the year. Photo by: Abigail Waters
Winter Park Moves Forward with 5G Installation, Services By End of Year
By Katie Clarke
The City of Winter Park is currently working with cell providers and contractors to bring 5G connectivity to locals, especially in areas dense with traffic and pedestrians. City officials say they expect to have 5G services starting this year through AT&T and possibly other providers as well. While many applaud the implementation of 5G and look forward to faster download and streaming capabilities on their mobile devices, which is critical with the rise of video streaming through apps like TikTok and Instagram, the process has also been fraught with controversy and lawsuits.
5G stands for fifth-generation cellular technology, also known as small cell technology. It benefits customers by exponentially increasing wireless data capacity and transfer speeds.
While previous generations of technology delivered wireless data from large cell towers and macro sites, small cell networks are made up of many microsites (5G antennas) clustered together. They provide much higher bandwidth, but they have a much smaller range—thus the need for dozens or even hundreds of small cell nodes.
WHERE DO WE STAND TODAY?
Winter Park is currently undergoing negotiations with all three of the main cell service providers to install 5G and small cell nodes throughout the city.
The Winter Park City Commission is in the final stages of design approval for small cells to be installed by telecommunications company ExteNet Systems, which is working with AT&T. The agreement includes plans for 20 nodes throughout the city to start. City officials are working with ExteNet to put the nodes on fluted, black metal polls to duplicate the existing aesthetic of the poles found throughout the city. "This will allow them to fit in with the current streetscape without being overly obtrusive," said Peter Moore, division director of the Office of Management and Budget, in a recent interview.
The City is working toward approving a design for the small cells that will match the existing aesthetic of the Winter Park streetscape. Images Courtesy of: City of Winter Park
According to Moore, negotiations are also ongoing with infrastructure companies working for Verizon and T-Mobile/Sprint. Verizon is proposing the installation of 46 nodes across the city, while Crown Castle, likely working with T-Mobile, said they plan to install more than 100.
"At the end of the day, most cities will have hundreds of these smaller 5G nodes," Moore said.
WHAT'S THE CONTROVERSY?
Winter Park commissioners have expressed frustration with national and state laws limiting their oversight of 5G installation.
Installations of small cells by wireless service providers or wireless infrastructure providers cannot be denied by the City, according to the Federal Communications Commission's rule FCC-18-133A1 and Florida State Statute 337.401. While small cell nodes are not permitted on private property, wireless providers have broad discretion on the location of their infrastructure within public right-of-way land. The City has very limited control over the location of each antenna. In 2019, the Florida League of Cities sued the state over legislation limiting their input on small cell installation.
Commissioners have expressed concerns over the past several years because the City has spent millions to declutter rights-of-way by burying utility lines to eliminate above-ground utility poles. They worry that the installation of so many small cell nodes, each of which will be attached to a utility pole, will partially undo the effort to improve the aesthetic of Winter Park.
Clarissa Howard, the City's communications director, said Winter Park is doing its best to improve connectivity through multiple sources. Commissioners are currently working to create a Broadband and Smart City Ad Hoc Committee to research and make recommendations on improving the digital experience. The second reading of that ordinance was tabled at the July 14 regular commission meeting.

Some more great casual conversations from the 2018 Worlds. To start we hear some detailed information from Nat Arem on the inner workings of hookgrip and the difficulties of shooting, editing, and sharing good weightlifting footage. Later in the day we recap the sessions, including Lydia Valentin's (relatively) easy victory and the shenanigans of Ilya Ilyin's competition card and the men's 102A. Enjoy!
< [Special Episode 07] 2018 Worlds, day 7!
Loving the podcast from south wales UK. Keeps me sane on my daily commute.
Dr. B – Great worlds podcast. Loving the backstage pass. Nothing better than a bunch of WL nerds talking shop!
What happened to Ilya, was he injured or just didn't want to participate in the competition, or suspended again?
I'm not entirely sure: he was eligible to compete, and he weighed in (so it counts as a competition appearance), but just decided not to.

Arcapita continues global logistics play
The Bahrain-based investment firm has acquired a European logistics warehouse developer - two months after announcing its $1 billion JV with ProLogis to develop and acquire industrial properties in the Middle East.
Eva Poon
Arcapita and affiliates have acquired Pinnacle Real Estate, a developer and operator of logistics warehouses in Central and Eastern Europe. Financial terms were of the deal not disclosed. Merrill Lynch's Global Principal Investment group previously had a majority stake in the industrial developer.
In addition to the 230,000-square-meter portfolio of warehouses, the deal also included close to 1.5 million square meters of land for future development.
Commenting on the transaction, Atif Abdulmalik, Arcapita's chief executive, said that the acquisition was in, what it believes are, "high growth markets with excellent further appetite for modern and well situated warehousing and distribution facilities," that fitted well with its existing portfolio of West European logistics warehouses.
The deal takes the firm's European investment in logistics to more than €1.4 billion ($2.2 billion), representing approximately two million square meters of developed and developable warehouse space, according to Abdulmalik.
In April, the Bahrain-based investor partnered with ProLogis on a $1 billion joint venture, ProLogis Middle East, to target advanced logistics warehouse space in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The joint venture targets the acquisition, financing, development and management of warehousing properties in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar. It expects to break ground on its first developments in the latter half of 2008, with an initial focus on Saudi Arabia.

Things to Do in Las Vegas This Spring
Things to do in Nevada
About 120 miles (190 km) east of Las Vegas, Grand Canyon West is a popular day trip destination with many available tours. But by opting for a self-drive tour, you can experience the natural wonder at your own pace. Here's what you should know.
A self-drive tour provides you with a vehicle and directions so you can drive yourself from Las Vegas to and from the Grand Canyon instead of going on a guided tour.
Enjoy the ability to travel with only your party and make your own stops, perhaps at the Hoover Dam or in Arizona's Joshua tree forest.
Optional add-ons may include entrance to the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a helicopter flight to the base of the canyon, or a boat ride on the Colorado River.
Choose to stay overnight at Hualapai Ranch if you wish to extend your adventure.
The Grand Canyon West Rim is the closest part of the canyon to Las Vegas, making it reachable on a day trip; this is not part of Grand Canyon National Park, however, which encompasses the South Rim and North Rim and is a much longer drive from Las Vegas.

Then, challenge the mighty Colorado River's varied rapids on a 40-mile (64-kilometer) journey through the canyon, taking a side hike to a travertine waterfall along the way. Helicopter transfer (if option selected) and boxed lunch are included, and an optional hotel pickup and drop-off is available.

Montana Man Gets Two Life Sentences for Killing Parents
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A 22-year-old Montana man who was convicted of killing his parents has been sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison without the possibility of parole.
Kaleb David Taylor was sentenced Friday after he pleaded guilty last July to deliberate homicide in the deaths of David and Charla Taylor, the Independent Record reported .
David and Charla Taylor were killed in their home north of Helena in March 2018.
Judge Mike Menahan said in court that Taylor will spend the rest of his life behind bars because he is "unfit for civilized society."
"There is no reasonable prospect that you can be rehabilitated," Menahan told Taylor.
Lewis and Clark County prosecutors had taken the death penalty off the table early in the process. Family members had requested prosecutors seek a life sentence without parole, county attorney Leo Gallagher said.
"He has been in system his whole life," Gallagher said. "He had loving, caring parents who did everything they could and were supportive of him even though he had harmed them and harmed their neighbors, did everything they could to try to salvage him."
Taylor was convicted for stealing from a neighbor and his parents in 2015.
"They were rewarded with one of the most brutal nights of violence this community has ever seen," Gallagher said.
David and Charla Taylor were likely attacked simultaneously while they were in bed, Lewis and Clark County Sheriff's Detective Bill Pandis had testified.
Kaleb Taylor did offer an apology in court.
"I made a mistake and took two people's lives," Taylor said.

Q: Knockoutjs is calling a REST API Post twice I am working on an ASP.NET MVC application using knockoutjs for MVVM. I when trying to make a Post to an ASP.NET Core API, the request from knockout seems to be posting 2 times. Below is the knockoutjs viewModel
var viewModel = function () {
    var self = this;
    self.Surname = ko.observable("").extend({ required: { message: 'Please supply your surname' } });
    self.Firstname = ko.observable("").extend({ required: { message: 'Please supply your firstname' } });
    self.Middlename = ko.observable("");
    self.Title = ko.observable().extend({ required: true });

    self.save = function () {

            $.ajax({
                contentType: 'application/json',
                url: 'https://localhost:44337/api/Student/SaveStudent',
                type: 'post',
                data: ko.toJSON(self),
                dataType: "json",
                processData:false;
                success: function (data) {
                    alert(data);

                },
                error: function (err) {
                    alert(err.status + " : " + err.statusText);
                    self.Kill(false);
                }

            });
        }

    }

}
ko.applyBindings(new viewModel());

[HttpPost]
        public IActionResult SaveStudent(StudentDTO student)
        {
            var st = _studentService.SaveStudent(student);

            return Ok(st);
        }

On save, the API is hit twice, first hit returns a status 204 and the second says:"request fail".
But If i call same API using postman it executes successfully without any error

A: My guess is that this part is causing your issue: data: ko.toJSON(self). Usual pattern in knockouts vm architecture is to extract all data that is to be sent to the server inside of a separate model and use an instance of that model throughout your pageVm function.
// separate model
function Person(){
    var self = this;
    self.Surname = ko.observable("").extend({ required: { message: 'Please supply your surname' } });
    self.Firstname = ko.observable("").extend({ required: { message: 'Please supply your firstname' } });
    self.Middlename = ko.observable("");
    self.Title = ko.observable().extend({ required: true });
}

// inside of pageVM create an instance
var data = new Person()

//inside of your ajax call
data: ko.toJSON(data),


Can I Still Get a Mortgage If I'm Self-Employed?
More and more people seem to be making the move toward self-employment these days, so it's only natural that questions about self-employment and mortgages would also be on the radar. The short answer to the main question is "yes" you can still get a mortgage if you're self-employed, but it usually isn't quite as easy.
The two basic types of income that are used when determining mortgage approval are "full" income and "self-employed" or "stated" income. If you have a full time job and receive a regular pay cheques, you have full income and you can report your income in the regular way. If you are self-employed and have a really high net income, you'll also have an easier time of it.
Things like your credit score, tax returns, the amount of time you've been self-employed, and how you receive your income will all come into play, along with the down payment amount.
It's important to keep in mind that no one has anything against self-employed people. Lenders just want to know that the mortgage amount will be paid back and that you have the means to pay it back. When you have a regular, full-time job your income is just easier to verify than when you are going it alone.
If you can prove that your stated income will be there on a consistent basis, you'll shouldn't have too much trouble. Not too long ago, self-employed people were able to declare an income and they were off and running. But when people started taking advantage of that system and wouldn't be able to make their payments, the rules had to be tightened.
Now, you need to back up your statement of income with proof. A lender may want to see bank statements, contracts, tax returns, or anything else that might shed light on your income. If you need some guidance or a push in the right direction, get in touch with a mortgage expert who deals with this sort of thing on a daily basis. You'll be glad you did!

My son inspires me, I've learned a lot from him over the last 10 years, and he's only 15.
When he was 5, as parents we decided to get him involved with martial arts. Our thinking, was that it would help build his confidence and give him the tools to warn off any potential bullies as he grew up.
We took our time and did our research, and found a great local karate club (Valley Shorai), which taught youngsters with a smile. Yes discipline and respect where very much required, but Sensei Neil Holroyd, also makes it fun for both younger kids and his adult students.
Samuel has amazed us with his dedication, effort and ability. In the last 10 years, we have seen many children come and go. Usually they stick around until they are or 12 or 13, and then move on to other interests as they grow up and become teenagers.
But not Samuel, he has kept the burning desire to pass his first Dan grading and win his black belt. And through pig headed perseverance and determination, yesterday, he achieved his goal.
It's taken him 10 years of dedicated training, grading's and competitions, to get to this point. And yesterday's Dan grading was the pinnacle, the '1 THING' he has focused on.
But it wasn't easy, 6 hours of intense activities ending with sparring. But not any old sparring, sparring against first 2 others and then 3 others. Showing that he's able to fend off, not just 1 attacker, but a gang of attackers.
Along the way, some amazing things have happened. He now gives back to the sport, and teaches Sensei Neil's younger students, 3 or 4 times a week. And every Saturday morning he is learning to be a match referee, through Sensei Neil's guidance.
Yes, Samuel has achieved his '1 THING'. But for him it doesn't end here, as he has just set a new '1 THING', which is to go on further in the sport and achieve another black belt (2nd Dan).
Joe Tierney, the grand master of Shorai (this style of karate) is an 8th Dan, and I wouldn't be surprised if Samuel has a secret '1 THING', to eventually achieve the same level.
Samuel inspires me, because he set his '1 THING', and after 10 years of pig headed perseverance and determination (not to mention skill and ability), he has achieved it.
It proves, we can all eventually achieve our own goals (either personal or business), when we show this level of focus and determination over time.

How many trade deals will we lose access to post Brexit if we leave the Customs Union?
The EU currently has 41 trade agreements, covering 72 countries. As an EU member state, the UK currently participates in those agreements. The UK is currently seeking continuity for its existing EU trade agreements with a number of countries after Brexit, and trade with them made up about 11% of UK trade in goods and services in 2018. The EU made up just under half and the rest of the world made up the remainder.
As we've said before, after Brexit the UK will leave those EU trade agreements, but will then be able to negotiate its own separate agreements with other countries. We can't say for certain how this will affect the UK's trade.
The UK is currently in the process of negotiating the rollover of these EU trade agreements. So far, the UK has negotiated 19 agreements covering 50 countries, which will come into force after the transition period ends (currently scheduled for the end of December 2020).
The EU does not currently have a trade agreement with the United States—negotiations over the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) were frozen in 2016 and declared obsolete in 2019. After Brexit the UK will be free to negotiate its own trade agreement with the United States. Counting the EU countries separately, the USA is the UK's largest trading partner, making up just under 15% of UK trade.

Carol Ward says:
What a great list you have assembled for yourself. When I was in Italy, I saw nothing about Fellini or Leone. I had gotten my Fellini prints over my couch when I was in Menton, France. They are actually his sketches for the costumes.
Hope all is well,
