She received her ScD from Johns Hopkins in 1954 and was appointed Head of the Division of Nursing Education at New York University. The lack of labs and libraries also impact the curriculum development method since without having appropriate pc labs in cities and villages a single can't implement pc education curriculum all more than the country. But supplying an equitable education to all students at all middle schools ultimately trumped parental selection.
The disadvantages you've described could all be attributed to your parents' parenting style rather than to homeschooling even though I do agree that (primarily based on what you've said here,) they did make quite a couple of poor educational decisions. I don't focus adequate on educational clip art, because I maintain possessing to satisfy people who are creating Squidoo lenses, which have a commercial component. Toddlers can take element in lots of beanbag games and challenges You can throw them at a target. It's in no way as well early to begin with educational wall decor for infants and babies. The scope of the psychology for applying in curriculum construction and its principles, concepts, processes. I favor it when my son is operating around outside or playing imaginatively but occasionally he will play online games. An professional in education talks about race relations, the political atmosphere and what can be done to boost items.
Cosmopolitan capital (Weenink, 2008 2009) becomes one of the most desired assets for students and has hence transformed into a main policy objective at all education levels mobility is promoted as a important characteristic of internationalization (Doherty, 2009).
In contrast, an revenue share" approach to larger education finance dispenses (at least in element) with the notion of a student-specific tuition amount. You have to have extremely strong mettle to do what Malala Yousafzai did – she was threatened with violence by the Taliban if she did not obey their order to keep indoors and give up her education. Quit education for girls, how stupid are these people, I am certainly with Malala Yousafzai all the way.

This section lists known issues with Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces 1.0.1. Where available, workaround suggestions are provided.
A second deployment of CodeReady Workspaces to the same OpenShift Container Platform cluster causes the oAuth secret in the openshift-oauth-client client to be rewritten. It is recommended not to deploy multiple instances of CodeReady Workspaces top the same OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
To work around this issue, manually create another oAuth client with the right redirecURI, secret, and name.
The deployment script does not have an option to continue a deployment that was interrupted or previously failed. When the installation is interrupted before it successfully completes, the used namespace needs to be manually cleared of incomplete deployment artefacts.
Following an interrupted or failed deployment, select the used namespace and deployments, pods, and secrets, as well as the Che configuration map. Then repeat the deployment process from the start.
When the per-workspace PVC (Persistent Volume Claim) strategy is configured, workspaces fail to start correctly. Workspace start is extremely slow because the pod that is launched to create directories in the PVC is attempting to mount a wrong PVC.
To work around this issue, set the CHE_INFRA_KUBERNETES_PVC_PRECREATE__SUBPATHS environment variable to false in the che configuration map, and restart CodeReady Workspaces.
When the per-workspace PVC (Persistent Volume Claim) strategy is configured, associated PVC (Persistent Volume Claim) is not removed nor cleaned up when deleting a workspace. To avoid encountering this issue, do not use the per-workspace PVC strategy (instead, use the common or unique strategy).
Alternatively, the associated PVC can be deleted manually using the oc delete pvc <pvc_name_or_id> command.
When proxy settings are configured in the config.yaml configuration file, the deployment fails. No workaround is available for this issue.
When CodeReady Workspaces is installed with TLS and OpenShift oAuth support, authentication on the CodeReady Workspaces login page fails with the following error message: Unexpected error when authenticating with identity provider.

President Trump Approves Governor Ivey's Request for Presidential Disaster Declaration
MONTGOMERY – President Donald J. Trump on Monday approved Governor Kay Ivey's request for a Presidential Disaster Declaration for the State of Alabama. The President declared that an emergency exists in the State of Alabama and ordered Federal assistance to supplement existing response efforts due to emergency conditions resulting from Hurricane Irma beginning on September 8, 2017, and continuing.
Governor Ivey, during a phone call with the President Sunday, requested a Presidential Disaster Declaration to assist the State of Alabama in Hurricane Irma relief efforts.
"In a phone call on Sunday, President Donald Trump promised me that he 'had Alabama's back' and in approving our request for a Presidential Disaster Declaration, the President has proven to be a man of his word," Governor Ivey said. "He and his team are doing a tremendous job managing this disaster in several states, and I am thankful for their hard work on behalf of Alabama, and their willingness to quickly approve our request."
The Emergency Declaration authorizes the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to coordinate all disaster relief efforts. The Federal assistance will help alleviate the tremendous task of local relief efforts. It will also provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures authorized under title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives, protect property, and ensure public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in 67 counties and the Poarch Creek Indian Tribe in the State of Alabama.
FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize and provide, at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency. Emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance, will be provided at 75 percent Federal funding.
Brock Long, Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Homeland Security, named Warren J. Riley as the Federal Coordinating Officer for Federal recovery operations in the affected areas.

Q: avoiding selected group collapse when refreshing (using expandablelistview and cursor loaders I am pretty much following the example here SimpleCursorTreeAdapter and CursorLoader for ExpandableListView
But I also have an async task running to update the database. I notice when I have a group expanded it collapses and then expands right before refreshing. I tracked it down and it seems to be in onLoadFinished right where setChildrenCursor is being set. How can I avoid the blinking while the data is being refreshed. I have looked around everywhere but nothing seems to address this particular problem. Any help appreciated.

A: I followed the same example and met the same problem. After hours of research I found out that blinking effect was caused by updating the table in database.
In order to prevent blinking, in adapter you need to override notifyDataSetChanged like this
@Override
public void notifyDataSetChanged() {
    notifyDataSetChanged(false);
}


Problem. There are three boxes, each with two drawers. Box A contains one gold coin in each drawer, box B contains one silver coin in each drawer, and box C contains one gold coin in one drawer and one silver coin in the other.
a. A box is chosen at random. What is the probability that it is box C?
b. A box is chosen at random and a drawer opened at random. The coin is removed. Suppose it is a gold coin. What is the probability that the box chosen is box C?
Solution. (a) All three boxes have the same chance of being chosen. So, the probability that box C is chosen is 1/3.

Q: Part of proof of law of iterated logarithm I'm stuck on details of the following proof.

here $S_n$ is the value of a simple symmetric random walk after $n$ time steps, and $b_n=[2n\log\log n]^{1/2}$.  I don't see how 'The result follows from 5.2.4 and Borel-Cantelli on letting $\alpha\rightarrow 1$.  I tried to show it but couldn't.
Also, I don't understand what the second highlighted inequalities are saying, or how we get them.  In particular, I don't know what $\gamma(m)$ is.  I know that they sometimes use $\gamma$ to denote the $\lim\sup$ in the statement of the lemma, but I don't think that's how they're using it.
These are from p. 13 of the following lecture notes http://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~conlon/math625/chapter1.pdf.

A: 1) You know from Borel-Cantelli that if the above sum is finite, then only finitely many of those events happen, i.e. there will be some finite $n_0$ after which for any $n > \alpha^{n_0}$, the sequence $\frac{S_n}{b_n}$ will be less than $\alpha$. Since this holds true for any $\alpha > 1$, you can assume that the lim sup is bounded by 1.
2) There, they are just using $\gamma(m)$ as a function that tends to 1, and it isn't really necessary for the proof; they are just trying to convince you that each of these intervals is essentially a constant so that you are not really introducing slack when you look at the intervals of the form $[\alpha^n, \alpha^{n+1}]$ (as opposed to looking at each $b_n$ individually).
If you want the explicit form of that function, the following calculations should help:
Since you know that $\alpha^m < r, k < \alpha^{m+1}$, and $b_n$ is monotone in $n$, note that $b_r \leq b_{\alpha^{m+1}}, k \geq b_{\alpha^m}$.
Then, $\frac{b_r}{b_k} \leq \frac{(2 \alpha^{m+1} \log \log \alpha^{m+1})^{1/2}}{(2\alpha^m \log \log \alpha^m)^{1/2}} = \sqrt{\alpha} \frac{\log(m+1) + \log\alpha}{\log(m) + \log\alpha}$, and now you can denote $\gamma(m) = \frac{\log(m) + \log\alpha}{\log(m+1) + \log\alpha}$.


On a crisp dry Wednesday night Enniskillen U18's hosted Cavan U18's in a title decider playoff. With both teams finishing top of their league on 26 points each, a playoff was required to decide the victors. Both teams had played each other twice earlier in the league, with each side taking a game apiece this fixture was set for a critical showdown. The Skins coaches and players knew it was going to be a tough encounter and the contest didn't disappoint.
The game kicked off in front of a great turnout of spectators and supporters and for the first 10 minutes the game was played mainly in Cavan's half, but the young Skins couldn't break Cavan's defence. For the next 5 minutes it was the home side's turn to defend as they were camped inside their half after a great Cavan clearance kick ended up on the Skins 22 metre line. Skins started playing themselves out of trouble and with ball in hand they were making ground consistently from the big carries of Second row partners Owen Mc Govern and Aaron Kelly. The Skins pack started turning the screw on Cavan and, with back row partners of Conor Maguire and Eoin Cleary working well together and running some great hard lines, Cavan were finding it difficult to resist the onslaught. Skins showed excellent ball retention in this period, going through 18 phases of play before forcing their way up to Cavan's try line, and scrum half Josh Kyle saw the smallest of gaps between two big Cavan forwards, this proving to be all he needed to pick the ball from the back of a ruck and dive over the try line to score an unconverted try on the 20th minute. For the next 10 minutes Skins continued in the same vein, the forwards carrying a lot of the ball and making great ground through No8 Jamie Kelly who was making great in roads at Cavan's defence, but it held firm and the scoreline didn't budge for the time being. Then spotting some space out wide, Skins got the ball out to winger Michael Ohare who made a great break, but again Cavan's defence again stopped this attempt short. On the 30th minute however, after resisting this long period of pressure, Cavan gave away a penalty just before the end of the half and Skins converted the attempt to finish the first half 8 nil to the good.
Skins kicked off the second half and hounded the Cavan receiver forcing him to spill the ball and give away a scrum to the home side. Credit has to be given to prop David Jenkins, propping against a player twice his size and dominating the encounter expertly. The ball was played out to Out-half Jarlath Maguire who ran a great line and broke Cavan's defence, but their fullback made a great tackle to stop him and from that ruck Cavan won the ball and cleared their lines, chasing the ball down the pitch. Yet again Fullback Paddy Fee was on hand to catch the ball from his 22 yard line and run 40 metres before he got took down. The young Skins remained in full control of the game, playing against a bigger and older team than themselves. The next score came on the 54th minute when it appeared as if a Skins ruck was lost in front of Cavan's posts, only for Props Rory Morris and Tomas og McGurran to win it back with such determination causing a Cavan player to enter the ruck of his feet and give away a penalty. Scum half Josh Kyle stepped up for the kick and added 3 points to the score to make it 11-0 to Skins. For the next 10 minutes Cavan started to gain ground and ended up on Skins 5 metre line with a scrum. Captain Kieran Fee won his 3rd scrum against the head and Skins were able to clear their lines. Cavan's back line tried a move from the line out but Centre partners of Adrian Maguire and Tyler Millar were solid in defence and kept the Cavan attack at bay. Cavan then tried to put the ball wide and bombard down both channels but again they couldn't break though Skins resilient defence and some great tackles from wingers Aidan McKenna and Lorcan McCaughey. The full time whistle was blown and both sets of players were undoubtedly relieved as it was clear every player from both teams was exhausted, playing for their jersey doggedly until the final whistle. This result secured the league yet again for the Under-18 side, sending them into the Quarter Finals of the Ulster league play off's against Armagh the following weekend.

Historically Speaking: Oak Ridge's secret plutonium experiment, Part 2
D. Ray Smith/Special to The Oak Ridger
This is Part Two of a two-part series of "Historically Speaking" in which Carolyn Krause brings us the account Ebb Cade, the first human to be injected with plutonium. I know that sounds horrible … but it happened right here in Oak Ridge. It happened to Ebb Cade.
Carolyn Krause has thoroughly researched the hard-to-accept facts surrounding this first attempt to learn the effects of plutonium on a human. Here is what she learned:
Ebb Cade was the first of the 18 hospital patients nationwide selected for a plutonium injection. Ironically, the small amount of plutonium-239 delivered as a citrate salt to the Army hospital in Oak Ridge came from Los Alamos, which had obtained its first grams of plutonium from the Graphite Reactor in Oak Ridge; the Clinton Labs reactor was a pilot plant that first demonstrated that usable amounts of plutonium could be produced and separated from a uranium-fueled reactor.
Dr. Louis Hempelmann, director of the Los Alamos Health Group, ordered Wright Langham, a biochemist in the group, to send the plutonium (with injection instructions) to Dr. Hymer Friedell. He in turn sent the sample with a written order to Dr. Joseph Howland, an Army physician at the Oak Ridge hospital who initially objected to the oral order. (In testimony to the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments in 1994, Dr. Friedell said Dr. Dwight Clark did the injection.) Cade was injected with 4.7 micrograms of the plutonium on April 10.
Five days later, Cade's bones were set, and bone samples were taken for a biopsy to determine how much of the injected plutonium remained in his bones. Because medical personnel observed that Cade's teeth were badly decayed, 15 were extracted. At the Los Alamos lab, Langham analyzed Cade's bone, urine, fecal and possibly tooth samples for plutonium content.
The urine samples were collected from Cade daily or every three days up until the 89th day after the injection. Then Cade departed suddenly from the hospital on his own initiative. Eight years later, he died of heart failure on April 13, 1953, in Greensboro, N.C. No evidence autopsy was performed on Cade's body to look for radiation effects.
Whether Cade had signs of cancer within eight years after his injection is not known. Had he lived 10 to 20 years longer, he might have developed radiation-induced cancer. What is known is that he was not asked to sign an informed consent form that stated he was willing to subject his body to a radiation experiment.
In 1947, in response to the human radiation experiment in 1945 in Oak Ridge, the Army's Medical Board of Review stated:
"We believe that no substances known to be, or suspected of being, poisonous or harmful should be given to human beings unless all of the following conditions are fully met: (a) that a reasonable hope exists that the administration of such a substance will improve the condition of the patient, (b) that the patient give his complete and informed consent in writing, and (c) that the responsible next of kin give in writing a similarly complete and informed consent, revocable at any time during the course of such treatment."
After a Chicago meeting in May on the results of the first two plutonium injection experiments, the Manhattan District Medical Office in Oak Ridge in June 1945 lowered the provisional allowable body tolerance for plutonium to a conservative one microgram. Thus, a plutonium worker with a "body burden" of close to one microgram should be transferred to a job with no plutonium exposure. (Cade's body had retained more than 85 percent of the injected 4.7 micrograms because of extremely low rates of urinary and fecal excretion.) The Hanford site adopted an even lower provisional limit of 0.5 microgram.
Later results comparing fission tracks of plutonium and radium injected in dogs showed that radium deposits throughout bone but plutonium particles deposit only on bone surfaces. Plutonium was once considered 50 times less dangerous than radium, but results from plutonium injections in the 1940s suggested that plutonium is only four times less dangerous than radium, which may have killed its discoverer, Nobel Laureate Marie Curie.
The plutonium, polonium, and uranium injection experiments were investigated in 1974 by the Atomic Energy Commission and in 1994 by the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments, created by President Bill Clinton's executive order, after Secretary of Energy Hazel O'Leary declassified Cold War-era records, including those on human radiation experiments. In the 1990s it was revealed that none of the long-lived plutonium patients and workers had plutonium-induced tumors.
The Environmental Protection Agency states on its website: "External exposure to plutonium poses very little health risk, since plutonium isotopes emit alpha radiation, and almost no beta or gamma radiation. In contrast, internal exposure to plutonium is an extremely serious health hazard. It generally stays in the body for decades, exposing organs and tissues to radiation, and increasing the risk of cancer. Plutonium is also a toxic metal, and may cause damage to the kidneys. Plutonium particles in dust are the greatest concern, because they pose the greatest health risk. "
Although he was not given the right to informed consent or compensation (other than free healthcare), Ebb Cade should be remembered for his legacy as a source of data that led to protection of plutonium workers from deadly toxicity and disease.
Thank you Carolyn for a well-researched treatment of the facts. While there are tremendous advances in technology coming from research done here, there is also the Ebb Cade story that is a part of our history and has its place in the interpretation of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park – Oak Ridge.

I already finished the story in Assassin's Creed 2. I really enjoyed the game play much more than the first one. They kept all the great things about the first one (the free-run system is fantastic) and added more variety to the missions. There is SO much to do in Italy in the 15th century. Pickpocket, rob chests, collect eagle feathers for your Ezio's little brother, shop for some new duds, or my favorite: just explore. UBI did a great job immersing you in Renaissance Italy. Scale the inside of the Duomo, climb St Mark's basilica, or row around the famous grand canal in a gondola: all while finding interesting ways to dispatch of your target. Loads of fun. The Story took me about 22 hours to complete (though thats including much of that exploring and side missions).
Borderlands is a ton of fun too, however at this point I've spent most of my time with Assassin's Creed. I really like the cell shading style in Borderlands, which is odd because I've never liked that style in any other game. Apparently this game really shines with online co-op play, which I have yet to try.
The Saboteur also seems like fun, but again I've only dipped into the surface of this game. I'm a fan of WWII, so this game seems like a great new story to tell.
Fairytale fights is a pretty mindless, but entertaining game in the same vein as the Xbox 360 arcade hit "Castle Crashers". Pick a famous fairytale character, and your weapon and have at it.
However, I've put the most time into the easy shoe-in for game of the year: Modern Warfare 2. I actually have already completed the first player campaign (which took me over a year to even TRY with the first Modern Warfare), and have over 4 days worth of time into multiplayer. So much fun, and it was hard to not play this game while I was playing Assassin's Creed. Loads of new weapons, new perks and new combinations. Easily the best game period for any console (if you like FPS).

2021-02-17 16:45:52 | Kaboom! Former Trump casino demolished in Atlantic City | Business and Economy News
A spot on the Atlantic City Boardwalk where movie stars, athletes and rock stars used to party — and a future president honed his instincts for bravado and hype — was reduced to a smoking pile of rubble.
The former Trump Plaza casino in New Jersey in the United States was imploded on Wednesday after falling into such disrepair in recent years that chunks of the building began peeling off and crashing to the ground.
A series of loud explosions rocked the building around 9am (14:00 GMT) as spectators looked on from a distance. The structure's collapse started almost like a wave from back to front until it went straight down in a giant cloud of dust that enveloped the beach and boardwalk. Overall, it took the building less than 20 seconds to fall.
The removal of the one-time jewel of former US President Donald Trump's casino empire clears the way for a prime development opportunity on the middle of the Atlantic City Boardwalk, where the Plaza used to market itself as the city's "centrepiece".
"The way we put Trump Plaza and the city of Atlantic City on the map for the whole world was really incredible," said Bernie Dillon, the events manager for the casino from 1984 to 1991. "Everyone from Hulk Hogan to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, it was the whole gamut of personalities. One night before a [Mike] Tyson fight, I stopped dead in my tracks and looked about four rows in as the place was filling up, and there were two guys leaning in close and having a private conversation: Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty."

"It was like that a lot: You had Madonna and Sean Penn walking in, Barbra Streisand and Don Johnson, Muhammad Ali would be there, Oprah sitting with Donald ringside," he recalled. "It was a special time. I'm sorry to see it go."

To complete the implosion, demolition crews positioned explosives at strategic points along the building's support structures designed to knock its legs out from under it, bringing the building down on itself, with the debris falling in a slightly north-northeast direction, Atlantic City Fire Chief Scott Evans said.
Though the former president built it, the building is now owned by a different billionaire, Carl Icahn, who acquired the two remaining Trump casinos in 2016 from the last of their many bankruptcies.
Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small proposed using the demolition as a fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City and began an auction for the right to press the button that would bring the structure down.
But Icahn — a donor and former special economic adviser to Trump — objected on safety and liability issues, and got the auction house to halt the bids. Icahn said he would replace the $175,000 that had already been bid with his own money.
Opened in 1984, when Trump was a real estate developer in his pre-politics days, Trump Plaza was for a time the most successful casino in Atlantic City. It was the place to be when a mega-event such as a Mike Tyson boxing match or a Rolling Stones concert was held next door in Boardwalk Hall.
Ron Gatewood, a food and beverage worker at Trump Plaza from 1986 until its closing in 2014, brought food and drinks to stars including Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross and Barry White in their hotel rooms.

"They were very down-to-earth people," Gatewood recalled. "They never made you feel less-than. They tipped very well. Well, some did, anyway."

The casino even had a cameo in the film Ocean's Eleven. When George Clooney and Brad Pitt recruited actor Bernie Mac's character to help with a Las Vegas casino heist, they plucked him from Trump Plaza, where he was a dealer.
Bob McDevitt, president of the main casino workers' union, said the place oozed glamour and buzz when it first opened.
"When there was a Tyson fight, it was like New Year's Eve all over the city, massive traffic jams," he said.
But things began to sour for Trump Plaza when Donald Trump opened the nearby Trump Taj Mahal in 1990, with crushing debt loads that led the company to pour most of its resources — and cash — into the shiny new hotel and casino.
"The moment that the Taj Mahal opened up, it began a decline for the Plaza," McDevitt said. "In order to make sure the Taj Mahal was successful, they shipped all the high rollers from Trump Plaza and Trump's Castle to the Taj, and they really didn't invest in the Plaza much."
The Trump Taj Mahal, one of the casinos acquired by Icahn, has since reopened under new ownership as the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Trump Plaza was the last of four Atlantic City casinos to close in 2014, victims of an oversaturated casino market both in the New Jersey city and in the larger northeast. There were 12 casinos at the start of 2014; there now are nine.

By the time it closed, Trump Plaza was the poorest-performing casino in Atlantic City, taking in as much money from gamblers in 8 1/2 months as the market-leading Borgata did every two weeks.

Realtime 3-D printing has moved beyond trendy trinkets and has moved into businesses, homes and even the battlefield. Now that military branches have created and tested 3-D printed weapons, Navy submarine-like vessels and even MREs, the conversation around additive manufacturing in the military has turned to securing those assets from cyberattacks.
For years, the biggest challenge within 3-D printing for the military was getting the technology to work in remote locations. Today, 3-D printing can be used to replace parts, create weapons and more — and sometimes by using material found or purchased locally.
The U.S. Army built and tested a 3-D-printed grenade launcher (and even printed the testing grenade) in May — they named the M203 grenade launcher the Rapid Additively Manufactured Ballistics Ordinance, or RAMBO for short. And the U.S. Navy 3-D printed a carbon fiber submersible earlier this year.
If weapons or other essential equipment were regularly created on-site in warfighting zones, a small manufacturing error could mean the difference between a grenade launcher that works and one that jams immediately, killing the operator. Or a submersible that stays air-tight and one that develops a structural weakness and ultimately sinks to the ocean floor.
Those flaws could be introduced in the 3-D printing software by a cyberattack if the printers aren't equipped with proper cybersecurity, said Nikhil Gupta, New York University associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and an affiliate faculty at the NYU Center for Cyber Security. The possibility of a bug altering a 3-D file, whether intentionally or unintentionally, to the point of making the end product unusable is a real threat.
Hackers could also steal valuable CAD files to reproduce the same items at another location.
"The technology comes at a price, and the price is the possibility of stealing those files or intellectual property or sabotage," he said.
A study from New York University published earlier this year details some of the vulnerabilities that can lead to dangerous defects in 3-D printing.
Danish 3-D printing research company Create It REAL is among the companies creating encryption processes for 3-D printing files to protect them from alteration. By encrypting the file and requiring the decryption to take place at the 3-D printer itself, the risk of alteration is reduced as the file moves from a server to a user's computer to the printer.
Military operations aren't the only way 3-D printing hacks could be damaging to the defense industry. After the FBI bought a 3-D printer in 2014 to manufacture bombs, the question was raised about whether explosions from hacked 3-D printers could be a threat, Nextgov reported.
Gupta said some cybersecurity measures for 3-D printing high-value items include creating local interconnected networks, rather than connecting a 3-D printer to the entire internet, and requiring a security key before an item can be printed.
Another, newer method includes adding in an "Easter egg" into the design of an item that can be checked before an item is used to ensure the item isn't counterfeit. For example, a designer could print their name inside an item that could only be detected with special scans.

The International Date Line Today
Orange II
Mid morning today the maxi-catamaran Orange II will return to the Western longitude. 'That shows that we'll stop moving away and start closing in. It's a punctuation in the course' as Bruno PEYRON says, which in real terms means that from now on any degrees gained will bring the team closer to Ouessant and home.
Yesterday saw their entry into the Pacific and a passage of the International Date Line today achieved under favourable auspices, as Orange II has tucked onto the Northern edge of a depression which may enable the maxi-catamaran to swallow up half the Pacific Ocean. It is likely to prove an interesting game as the team will have to try to hold onto the positive effects of the low pressure for as long as possible, a great luxury that the latest generation of maxi-multihulls can offer themselves. The depression comes at a point which will also give Orange II the benefit of not having to dive too far South. It is a detail and a meteorological boost which takes on its full meaning when you know that a vast ice field lies to the SE of the catamaran. Whatever happens though, « the decision has been taken » as Bruno emphasises: Orange II will cover more miles as it rounds to the North of the floating minefield and the visual watch will begin over the next few hours, the high-risk zone starting to the SE of Stewart Island.
Bruno PEYRON: 'We are currently setting a good pace and are positioned well in terms of latitude which means that we'll be able to benefit from a good angle to the wind and favourable seas. We made two small tacks yesterday to line ourselves up better and since then we have been on a single tack in a NW'ly airflow which is catching up with us. If we work well, we should be able to cover half the Pacific with it. This depression is moving faster than us but not at a constant speed, so it's going to be an interesting game.'
The ice field. 'We have clearly set ourselves a way-point and are ready to pay the price for passing above this zone. We're quite lucky as the forecast is helping us to pay as cheaply as possible. With regards organisation, we are going to set up the same visual watch as we did off the Marion and Kerguelen islands. The ultimate precaution is not to get close to the zone though, prepared to extend the course... The decision has been taken!'
The International Date Line. 'It's an important passage. It's a punctuation which reminds us that we have taken 25 days to get halfway round the course. We thought about it again this morning : Good Hope in 11 days, Leeuwin in 21 days and mid-course in 25 days, that speaks for itself somewhat! And at the midway mark we are stronger today than at the start with a boat and crew in perfect shape! I have even slept like a baby which is a sure sign that all is well aboard the boat and that the boat isn't suffering.'

Giants coach Ben McAdoo during a game on Aug. 21, 2017.
The New York Giants made a rare in-season house cleaning, firing coach Ben McAdoo and general manager Jerry Reese on Monday, less than a year after the team made the playoffs for the first time since 2011.
McAdoo had all the ingredients to succeed. He was young, ran an up-tempo West Coast offense, had worked well with Manning and he seemed to be a coach the players would like. His practices were filled with music and marked by short-interval segments.
Before this move, the shortest stay by a Giants' head coach in recent years was that of Ray Handley — he was fired after the 1992 season. He lasted two years after replacing Bill Parcells. The only other time the team fired a head coach in midseason was in 1930 when LeRoy Andrews was replaced by Benny Friedman and Steve Owen.

New law promises faster, more convenient gov't transactions—CSC
The Civil Service Commission (CSC) urges government agencies to review and revisit their systems and procedures for the purpose of re-engineering, if deemed necessary, as Republic Act No. 11032 mandates faster and more efficient transactions in public agencies.
R.A No. 11032 or "An Act Promoting Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery (EODB-EGSD Act), Amending for the Purpose Republic Act No. 9485 Otherwise Known as the Anti-Red Tape Act (ARTA) of 2007, and for Other Purposes," signed by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, on 28 May 2018 prescribes shortened processing periods in business and non-business transactions: three (3) working days for simple transactions, seven (7) working days for complex transactions, and 20 working days for highly technical application/transactions.
Stiffer penalties shall be imposed on those who fail to observe the prescribed transaction periods. Tasked to implement the law is the new Anti-Red Tape Authority which shall be headed by a Director-General.
The new law also requires national agencies, government owned and/or controlled corporations and local government units to set up electronic/online systems to make application processes for business permits and other documents faster and more convenient to the public.
As the lead agency in the implementation of ARTA, the Civil Service Commission welcomes the passage of R.A No. 11032 with Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala expressing that the expansion of the ARTA law runs parallel to the government's efforts to improve its competitiveness ranking and to provide citizens with quicker, efficient, and more responsive service. She added that the new law presents challenges and opportunities for state workers to better serve the people.
She also pointed out that unlike the ARTA which focused only on frontline services, the EODB-EGSD Act covers all government transactions. "The Anti-Red Tape Act has set the stage for effecting reforms in frontline service delivery", the CSC Chief said, citing a study made by the Ateneo School of Governance in 2015 (Enhancing the Anti-Red Tape Act Report Card Survey: A Report to the Civil Service Commission) which stated that, "Results of the ARTA-Report Card Survey (RCS) serve as basis for the agencies to improve their facilities, promoted transparency and significantly curbed red tape." The study, commissioned by the Integrity for Investments Initiative and USAID Philippines, further stated that the ARTA RCS keeps frontline employees on their toes, and they do their best to comply with the posted standards and ensure fast delivery of service.

Assuming you're going to paint the whole model......how do you sand (to remove gloss and get tooth) all those wonderful rivet/screw/panel lines? I've been prepping my Krill Extra for a custom paint job, and it's a lot of work.....and it's a smooth airplane, not a warbird like the Spit.

so i sand all the lines from the moulds, primer all parts where i worked on. after this you have to use scotch brite and work on all survaces. otherwise the paint will not stay on.
send you some photos bevor i start painting.
