'Productivity' is an important concept in business. If your employees aren't working in the most productive way possible, you'll soon find yourself wasting valuable time, money and effort.
Luckily, by investing a little here and there, it can be easy to improve the productivity of your business! Let's take a look at five areas you can invest in to increase productivity.
Efficiency and productivity go hand in hand. The more efficient your systems and processes are, the more productive your employees will be. Perhaps consider performing a review of your business from the bottom up, examining the efficiency of the workplace, noting areas to be improved, and asking employees what would help them work more efficiently.
There are plenty of areas in which investment into efficiency is almost guaranteed to pay off. Project management software, such as Trello or Evernote, is always a good option to boost productivity. It's also worth considering alternative work arrangements, such as allowing employees to work remotely, or installing different workspaces for different types of work.
Every workplace must be secure in order to function as effectively as possible. But security measures must also be implemented so as to affect workers as minimally as possible.
Consider performing an audit of your business' current equipment/technology and the security measures they carry. If employees are finding certain security measures a barrier to completing their work efficiently, consider upgrading or changing these measures. This way you'll ensure both security and productivity are treated with equal importance in the workplace.
When it comes to productivity, the importance of ergonomically designed workspaces cannot be underestimated. If your office furniture is outdated, it may risk causing injury or stress for your employees – and overall productivity will suffer because of it.
It may be strange to think that you can boost productivity through your office furniture, but it's true! Making an investment in good-quality furniture and properly setting up workspaces means making an investment in productivity.
To begin your office's ergonomic transformation, start by seeking out adjustable chairs with lumbar support, desks of an appropriate height, and other additions such as footrests and monitor stands to boost computers to eye level. You might also like to consider innovative options such as standing desks. For government standards and suggestions about appropriate office furniture, check out Safe Work Australia's official principles and checklists here.
This might seem like an odd area to consider, but the décor of your office or workspace can really have an impact on your employees' productivity and performance. Things like lighting and décor colours are important to get right, otherwise your employees' concentration and work may suffer.
Adequate lighting is an extremely important aspect in any office. It's important to have a good balance: a workspace that is too dim is just as bad as one that's harshly lit by too many fluorescent lights. Research has shown that generous lighting increases productivity and workplace morale – especially when natural light is incorporated.
Appropriate colour schemes are an equally important part of office décor. Remembering handy rules of thumb, such as the ability of bright colours to stimulate the brain and neutral colours to soothe it, will serve you well when creating a productive workspace.
Technology has great potential to boost the productivity of your workforce. While technological upgrades might be some of the more expensive investments you make, they're often the ones that will see the most reward in productivity and performance.
Tech upgrades don't necessarily need to involve huge overhauls of your entire system. Consider replacing or improving one or two areas at a time to increase efficiency. For example, you may want to move your files and documents into the cloud rather than a paper-based storage system; or you might upgrade a completely physical system, such as faxing, to an online fax system like eFax, which digitises the process – and makes things much more efficient.
With these five simple productivity investments, your employees will be working smarter and more efficiently than ever. Investing in even one or two of these areas is a great start and will lead to a more productive workplace in next to no time.

Most back issues do not require spinal surgery. However, there are certain conditions, as well as chronic back problems, for which back surgery is the best and possibly the only choice for pain relief and the return of mobility.
While the idea of spinal surgery might seem intimidating, it is often the best option for restoring a person to normal functioning. If you suffer from severe, debilitating back issues, a Trinity spine surgeon may ease your pain and help you move comfortably once more. Get in touch with an experienced surgeon right away to schedule a consultation and discuss your options.
There are two basic forms of spinal surgery: Minimally invasive and traditional back surgery. The latter is maximally invasive, but necessary for many types of spine problems. The goal of both types of spinal surgery is restoring the patient to the most optimal condition possible.
There is always a possibility that a minimally invasive spine surgery may turn into traditional back surgery once the procedure begins and the surgeon realizes work is needed that minimally invasive spine surgery cannot accomplish.
Not all spinal surgeries are carefully planned events. There are occasions, such as after a motor vehicle accident or other trauma, when spinal surgery is needed immediately. Certain symptoms not resulting from trauma may indicate the need for emergency spinal surgery.
Patients should consult Trinity spine surgeons immediately if they experience weakness in the legs that continues to worsen, or the inability to control the bowels and bladder. The same holds true for any sudden loss of walking ability.
A Trinity spine surgeon discusses all treatment options with a patient and ensures the patient understands the entire process, including follow-up care and rehabilitation.
When it comes to back surgery, there is no one-size-fits-all. Each patient receives an individually tailored surgical and recuperation treatment plan. The latter includes a physical therapy regimen and other exercises, as well as any necessary equipment the patient may need during this period.
If you experience chronic back pain and want to know about surgical options, call a Trinity spine surgeon today to arrange an appointment.

Kenyan government will spend US$11.7mn to develop city roads
Created: Thursday, 03 January 2019 13:10
The Kenyan government will spend US$11.7mn to rehabilitate and upgrade 600 km of roads in Nairobi City
According to Daily Nation, the project will be carried out by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura) and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (Kerra).
Kura has set aside US$12.6mn to upgrade 588.60 km of road in the city, and Kerra has allocated US$1.6mn to build 21.2 km of road.
According to the news report, the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) revealed this in the Annual Public Roads Programme (APRP) for the financial year 2018/2019.
Under the programme, Jogoo and Lusaka roads have been allocated US$101205 for the upgrades, while Landhies Road will receive US$37193.
Another US$411087 will be used on the northern and eastern bypasses covering about 60 km.
Other roads targeted by Kura include Spine and Manyanja roads in Kayole, Bogani East, Baba Dogo, Peponi, Josep Kang'ethe, Utawala and Kasarani-Mwiki.
At least 18 major roads, 29 streets and five lanes will be upgraded by the urban road agency in the city centre. Some of the roads to be upgraded are Dubois, Tsavo, Temple, Haile Selassie, Lagos and Taveta.
KRB Executive Director Jacob Ruwa explained, "The fuel levy fund managed by the Kenya Roads Board is shared with the road agencies where Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) gets 40 per cent, Kenya Rural Roads Authority 21. 8 per cent, Kenya Urban Roads Authority 10.2 per cent, county governments 15 per cent and Kenya Wildlife Service one per cent. KRB retains the remaining 10 per cent which it allocates to road agencies on a case-by-case basis and another two per cent for its operations."
Three Chinese companies, namely China Wu Yi, Sinohydro Corporation and China Roads and Bridges Corporation, have won tenders to upgrade the roads.

Research has proven that ultraviolet germicidal irradiation inactivates a variety of airborne microbes and helps prevent the airborne transmission of disease. UVC energy at 254nm is the most germicidal wavelength in the UV spectrum. When used in air disinfection applications, the germicidal 254nm wavelength penetrates the cell walls of microorganisms; hence destroying their DNA/RNA and rendering the organisms unable to replicate. Since mold, bacteria and virus micro-organisms do not pose a health risk unless present in large numbers, its therefore common to install UVC lights in numerous settings where they collect; including HVAC, medical, residential and food processing for surface treatment, to name a few. In HVAC settings, UVC is used in order to prevent the growth of the airborne molecules, which include mold and other bacterial contaminants that prefer to gather in and around standing water in cooling coils and drain pans. Many users of UVC technology enjoy a clean and fresh air smell as a direct result of keeping the cooling coils, drain pans and air space free and clear of mold and organic material buildup. The ultraviolet rays help keep the HVAC unit in a virtual "as-new" condition by continuously cleaning the coils and drain pan surfaces. Therefore, UVC helps reduce and even eliminate the need for costly manual maintenance and cleaning with harmful chemicals. UVC 254nm application entails low cost maintenance which includes annual lamp replacement to ensure adequate UVC output after 9,000 hours operation. Water conservation is an added plus by reclaiming clean condensate water for other purposes including but not limited to irrigation and gray water flushing.
The removal of odors is another aspect to germicidal irradiation. The UVV light (185nm) is another wavelength in the ultraviolet spectrum that is typically used to control odors and improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). At the 185nm wavelength, the UVV light actually generates ozone (O3). This happens when this UVV light reacts with oxygen molecules, converting them into highly unstable atoms that, in turn, form O3. Ozone works by converting many airborne pollutants into benign, odor-free by-products. This chemical reaction can be used to disinfect and deodorize nearly any environment. H2S-based odors emanating from wastewater treatment plants and lift stations provide an extreme nuisance for residential homeowners and other institutions in close proximity. By introducing UV treatment, the odors are neutralized and the quality of life in the immediate and surrounding areas vastly improves.
Can Ultraviolet Germicidal Lamps be used for water disinfection in Aquaculture?
Yes, the use of ultraviolet water disinfection systems in fish farms, mussel farms, aquariums and hatcheries has lead to the production of healthier and larger fish, improved water quality, possible increases in stock density and vastly reduces the risk of disease.
Does UVC germicidal light produce any dangerous byproducts in treated water?
No, UVC germicidal light does not alter the chemistry of the water, nor does it alter the pH, odor or color of the water. It only destroys single cell microorganisms within the water. At the 254 nm wavelength UVC germicidal light penetrates the cell wall of the microorganism. The UVC energy permanently alters the DNA structure of the microorganism in a process called thymine dimerization. This inactivates the microorganism and renders it unable to reproduce or infect.
Can UVC lamps (254nm) destroy residual Ozone (185nm)?
Ozone is often used in a fish hatchery to enhance the quality of problematic water sources used for incubating and rearing fish. However, residual ozone in the water can be extremely toxic or fatal to the aquatic life being reared. Applying 254nm UVC germicidal light systems will consume the residual ozone in the bulk water prior to contacting the fish. The 254nm UVC energy breaks apart the ozone molecule; with one of the by-products being oxygen, a benefit to the fish.
How does Ultraviolet Germicidal Light benefit Horticulture Applications?
UVC light rays will not affect the ph or chemistry of the water applied to the Rhizosphere, and unlike H2O2 it will not have an adverse affect on organic additives or be carried over and affect germination or seedling development. Several of the species that inhabit the Rhizosphere now demonstrate multiple resistivity's against antibiotics. These include Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, Ralstonia and Staphylococcus. None of these species can or is able to develop resistance to UVC germicidal light.
What applications in Aquaculture can Ultraviolet Germicidal Lamps be used?
Fish Farms, Hatcheries, Aquariums, Zoo's, and Aquatic Laboratories all benefit from the use of the UVC Germicidal Lamp's ability to kill microorganism's and stop the spread of disease without the use of harsh and hazardous chemicals.
Low Pressure UVC Amalgam Technology Better Than Medium Pressure UVA Technology for Curing UV Inks?
For many years, only medium or high pressure UVA (365nm) curing was available to cure free radical UV inks. In the last few years, however, low pressure UVC (254nm) curing has been increasingly used to cure "cationic" based UV inks, coatings, lacquers, and resins.
Since low pressure lamps can operate with much less power than medium or high pressure lamps, they are perfect for applications that require dimming [40%, 60% or 80% of full power]. Both low pressure mercury lamps and amalgam lamps produce UVC (254nm); however, there is a growing trend for using amalgam lamps due to their speed and efficiency in the drying of cationic based UV inks, coatings and resins.
Before amalgam lamps, low pressure UV curing lamps produced outputs only up to 150 watts. Using more current would cause the lamp to overheat, lose mercury vapor pressure and the result was a severe drop-off in output. An amalgam lamp can produce an output of 200 to 1000 watts, one-third of which is usable UVC (254nm) energy. Amalgam lamps offer the ability to downsize the system while maintaining maximum speed and efficiency for UV curing.
Of course, low pressure amalgam lamp UVC (254nm) curing is not the best technology for every UV ink curing application. But, if your application performance properties match up with the chart criteria below, then it is right for you!
Moreover, low pressure UVC (254nm) curing systems produce no hazardous byproducts and have a lower operating cost than free radical UVA (365nm) curing and heat-based curing systems.
Germicidal UVC lamps can be manufactured with one of two different types of glass — Quartz Glass or Soft Glass. Germicidal soft glass is a highly refined and pure type of soda lime glass, similar to that which is used to make visible light fluorescent lamps. Quartz germicidal glass is made from silica phosphate, and as such, is much, much harder in tensile strength than soft glass.
Transmission of UVC is approximately 9% lower than that of quartz lamps, leading to less initial UVC output.
Soft glass will not allow the transmission of UVC wavelengths below 200nm and therefore can not be used to produce ozone at 185nm.
UVC transmission maintenance over the life of the uncoated soft glass lamp is approximately 30% worse than that of quartz germicidal UVC lamps.
Considerable advances in internal glass coatings have extended the life time of soft glass lamps to 9,000hrs with 80% UVC output maintenance.
Soft glass germicidal UVC lamps are limited to operating currents of less than or equal to 850mA.
Transmission of UVC is approximately 9% higher than soft glass, thus leading to higher initial UVC output than comparable soft glass lamps.
Quartz germicidal UVC lamps can produce both 254nm wavelength (killing wave) and 185nm wavelength (Ozone).
UVC maintenance over the life of the lamp is much higher over the life of the lamps.
Quartz lamps can maintain 85% of their output at 16,000hrs.
Therefore, if your application requires the utmost UVC output possible, long operational life and the highest quality available then you need to specify quartz glass UVC germicidal lamps!
Reverse-Pin-Technology (RPT) germicidal lamps make installing air disinfection UVC germicidal lamps in the HVAC air duct in your home easy, fast, safe and effective. A simple drill and screwdriver are all the tools that a homeowner or HVAC contractor needs to bring pure air to your family, friends and loved ones.
The recommended location for your RPT germicidal air disinfection lamp is either right above your air conditioning cooling A-coil (see "A" in photo below) or directly through the A-coil (see "B" in photo below). Either of these mounting locations allows for maximum coil cleaning of mold and bio-films while inactivating/disinfecting the air borne bacteria and viruses from your upstream air flow that your family breathes every hour of every day.
This minimal investment of money and time (20 minutes) for the easy-to-install RPT pure air germicidal system will help prevent the common cold, flu, asthma, eye irritation, sinus congestion, skin irritation, fatigue, headaches, nausea, chicken pox, measles, bronchitis and many more unpleasant conditions. You see, UVC germicidal light, with most of the light energy focused at 254nm, is the most effective germicidal wavelength in the entire UV light spectrum. UVC germicidal light literally attacks the DNA-based airborne pollutants and mold spores by breaking their DNA molecular bonds rendering them unable to reproduce and grow.

Book of the Week: Edward Burra by Simon Martin
British artist Edward Burra (1905-76) features surprisingly prominently in the publicity for the Royal Academy's current exhibition Mexico: A Revolution in Art, 1910-1940. A number of the reviews of the show feature Burra's watercolour El Paseo (c.1938), a wonderfully stylised and slightly sinister snapshot of night-time street-life in the Mexican city. I haven't yet seen the exhibition, but I'm already intrigued, as Burra and Mexico isn't an association I'd consciously made before. How long was Burra in Mexico and what did he do there? Did he work with any of the Mexican muralists? (Is there another book here?)
My first port of call is Simon Martin's monograph on Burra, my Book of the Week. There is one brief mention in Chapter 3 ('The Danse Macabre: Burra's Dark Side') of Burra's 1937 visit to Mexico, of which the main legacy seems to have been a fascination with Mexican 'Day of the Dead' imagery, a powerful stimulus in later works such as Skeleton Party 1952-4.
Some further background reading leads me to conclude that the RA may have slightly overplayed Burra's connection with Mexico. He visited by chance in May 1937 with his friends Conrad Aiken and Mary Hoover, who were travelling to Mexico from Boston so that Conrad could obtain a divorce and marry Mary. Burra became extremely ill with dysentery, and by July he was back in England, having spent time in Mexico City initially and then in Cuernavaca with Aiken's friend Malcolm Lowry. That's really it.
As Simon Martin notes, Burra's eclectic, eccentric and exuberant paintings drew on a vast range of influences, from Renaissance and Baroque art to German 1920s Neue Sachlichkeit painting, Hollywood cinema, jazz music, French literature, avant-garde photography, and Parisian dance revues. His extraordinary and still far too little-known output incorporates street scenes, landscape and still-life paintings, stage designs and book illustrations. In the course of a 50-year career, Mexico was but a brief moment.

FESTIVALS/REVIEWS
Sundance 2021 'El Planeta' Review: A Mother and Daughter Create A World Built on Scams
by Katie Duggan
Courtesy of Sundance Film Festival
In El Planeta, visual artist Amalia Ulman writes and directs her first feature, a quirky comedy with a dark side rooted in its protagonists attempts to stave off homelessness through scams and grifts. Ulman plays Leonor (Leo) opposite her real-life mother, Ale Ulman, who plays her character's mother María. While Ulman and her mother are both playing fictional characters, there are parallels between the artist and her art: Leo, like Ulman herself, was in a bus accident years prior that has left her with chronic pain in her legs, and the actual mother-daughter pair struggled with eviction and the threat of losing their home much like their fictional counterparts.
Much of El Planeta feels like an eccentric little home movie, as Ulman captures her hometown with a charming mix of humorous disdain and affection. The coastal city of Gijón is perpetually gray, and not just because the film is in black and white, and Leo wonders why anyone would choose to live out their days in a place so dull and rainy. The town is especially bleak during the height of the country's economic crisis in 2009, when the film is set. The plot is lackadaisical and meandering, with money and the lack of it at the core of most interactions, as Leo wanders about town searching for money, pleasure, something to buy, or someone to buy those things for her. She meets a man in a cafe and discusses an arrangement for a sexual relationship, and debates the rates he is willing to pay; she walks around the street, and wanders into shops; she goes out for dinner with a man she meets, Amadeus, and becomes disappointed to discover he is married with a child. It all sounds like it could easily be the plot of a French New Wave film, to which the color palette and unexpected editing style is indebted. This is a portrait of malaise and disaffection, as the women try to scam and schmooze their way into money or free things, with a remarkable sense of nonchalance even as their power is turned off and they face eviction.
The elegant back and white may lend a surface-level classiness to the film, but these women are gritty and shameless, doing whatever they need to do to get money or weasel their way out of paying for things. Yet just as the money starts to run dry in this series of scams, the charm starts to wear off, as well. While their situation is sympathetic, the characters themselves are not, quickly moving from one self-absorbed topic to the next while stringing together just enough to get by. It has plenty of humor, yet each scene feels almost like a standalone sketch, and the best bits feel almost like throwaway lines. As a result, there is little forward momentum, only a feeling of slow unravelling.
Ulman's 2014 performance art piece "Excellences and Perfections" was a masterpiece of Instagram art, and explored the multiplicities of online identity and the construction of self-image. While its visuals may feel retro, El Planeta is haunted by the specter of technology and the fear of faulty connections or missed opportunities in the online realm. Mother and daughter frequently discuss online purchases and return policies, and Leo takes photos of herself with her laptop, frequently looks for her charger, searches for service, and tries to deal with faulty internet connections. This does not quite live up to the same level of biting social commentary and image manipulation as Ulman's previous work, yet there are flashes of some interesting social commentary on faking it 'til you make it, in life and online, even if it is not fully realized. Leo and María are image-conscious to a fault, relying on appearances only; in the finale, when police arrive for María, she pauses to fix herself up in the mirror and puts on a fur coat and sunglasses before leaving with them, and it's a bleak statement on where her priorities lie in her attempts to seem polished and carefree.
The film is admittedly quite pretty to look at, and Ulman's artist's eye is apparent in each artfully composed streetscape and how she makes painterly frames out of video chats and selfies. But if too much emphasis is placed on appearances, then we are left with a film that has not quite enough comedic substance to show behind its facade; or perhaps, it is just that the humor is so understated that you might miss it at first glance, a little bit of sleight of hand that leaves you only realizing what happened when it hits you later. Either way, Ulman is a talent who has begun to find her own oddball energy in film – whether you laugh at the jokes, roll your eyes, or stifle a sob at the absurd tragedy of it all.

In addition to the rain, the lightning and the countless delays and postponements, this football season will be remembered for the advent of a new playoffs system.
For better or worse (probably more for the better), the Iowa High School Athletic Association has implemented an RPI system that will help determine the 16-team playoff field — and the seedings once those teams are determined — in each of the six classes.
District champions are automatic qualifiers, with RPI the determinant for the rest of the field.
RPI consists of win-loss record (37.5 percent), opponents' win-loss record (37.5 percent) and opponents' opponents' win-loss record (25 percent). All nine games are figured in, not just district games. Margin of victory means nothing.
• District champions get first priority in seeding and hosting in the first round. In the quarterfinals, that is thrown out the window, and higher RPI get home-field advantage regardless of district finish.
• In the case of a three-way tie for a district title (and if all three teams go 1-1 in a round robin amongst each other), all are designated as district champions, provided the number of district champions doesn't surpass 16.
• In the event of a two-way tie, on the other hand, the winner of head-to-head is the district champion, the loser is simply an at-large candidate.
• The IHSAA will make all efforts, whenever reasonable, to avoid first-round matchups between teams from the same district. It will also try to come fairly close to true seeding (1-vs.-16, 2-vs.-15, etc.), with common sense used for geography.
• Brackets will be reseeded for the semifinals in the UNI-Dome. So don't think of a class as a 16-team bracket. Think of it as four brackets with four teams each. As a result, the East-vs.-West championship games are gone; it's completely possible to see, for example, a Valley-Dowling championship in 4A.
With those guidelines in place, here's an attempt at projecting the playoff brackets. All outcomes for Week 8 and Week 9 are merely predictions from the BC Moore computer.

O Esporte Clube de Patos, também conhecido como Esporte de Patos ou simplesmente Esporte é uma agremiação esportiva brasileira da cidade de Patos, no estado da Paraíba. Fundada a 7 de julho de 1952 manda seus jogos no Estádio José Cavalcanti.

História

Início
O Esporte Clube de Patos é a entidade sucessora da inesquecível equipe do Botafogo Futebol Clube fundada em 1946 por Inocêncio Oliveira (Taperoá-BA, 26 de outubro de 1895 – Patos-PB, 5 de janeiro de 1980), a equipe amadora do Botafogo permaneceu invicta até o ano de 1952 quando surgiu o Esporte Clube de Patos.

Fundação
Inocêncio Oliveira fundador do Botafogo com problemas de saúde transferiu para a Bahia e no regresso foi convidado pelo atleta Zéu Palmeira e outros a participar de uma reunião, que já havia previamente decidido pela fundação do Esporte Clube de Patos em substituição ao Botafogo Futebol Clube. Em 7 de julho de 1952 no antigo Tiro de Guerra foi fundado o Esporte Clube de Patos. Mesmo sendo contrário a sucessão/fundação, Inocêncio Oliveira ofereceu toda a documentação do Botafogo, os troféus e o recibo do pagamento mensal feito à Federação.

Amadorismo (1952-1963)
O Esporte Clube de Patos mandava seus jogos no campo do ginásio, partidas memoráveis contra equipes famosas foram realizadas: Sport Club do Recife, São Cristóvão e Portuguesa do Rio de Janeiro, Ypiranga da Bahia, Sergipe, ASA de Arapiraca, Treze, Campinense e Paulistano de Campina Grande, Auto Esporte e Brejuí de Currais Novos, dentre tantas outras. Neste período a grande equipe amadora ficou bastante famosa no cenário esportivo e conhecida em todo o interior nordestino, pela qualidade de seus grandes atletas e pela formação de ótimas equipes.

Profissionalismo (1964)
O profissionalismo somente aconteceu em 1964 e no ano seguinte 1965 passou a disputar o Campeonato Paraibano. No ano de sua estréia como equipe profissional começou logo azarando seus adversários ao aplicar uma histórica goleada de 11-0, na equipe do Cinco de Agosto da cidade de João Pessoa, uma das maiores goleadas registradas na história do futebol paraibano. Por essa e outras façanhas jogando em Patos, o Esporte passou a ser chamado pela crônica esportiva da Paraíba de "O Terror do Sertão" como até hoje é conhecido.

Símbolos

Escudo
Até o ano de 2015, o escudo do Esporte Clube de Patos possuía o Pato Donald no emblema. No entanto, devido a temores de ações judiciais da Walt Disney Company por violação de direito da imagem, a diretoria do time realizou uma votação na cidade para escolha e alteração do escudo. O próprio clube acabou optando pelo escudo atual.

Hino
A primeira estrofe do hino do Esporte Clube de Patos (composto por Amaury de Carvalho) enaltece o clube, e faz referência ao seu mascote e ao apelido que a agremiação adquiriu diante de suas conquistas. A segunda estrofe reafirma a força da agremiação e faz referência à paixão e às glórias desde o tempo do seu fundador e patrono Inocêncio Oliveira.

Jogadores notáveis
Dentre os jogadores que passaram pelo Esporte de Patos na época do campo do ginásio destacam-se: Antônio Araújo, conhecido como Araújo. É considerado pelos mais antigos como a maior glória do Esporte de Patos, chegou a jogar no Sport Recife e no Bahia; Mário Moura saiu de Patos diretamente para jogar no Vitória de Setúbal em Portugal e Araponga um dos maiores craques que a Paraíba já teve. Araponga é considerado por muitos em Campina Grande como o melhor jogador de todos os tempos da equipe do Campinense, chegando a ser hexacampeão da Paraíba. O craque Araponga foi contratado pelo Santos para ser o reserva de Pelé.

Rivalidade

Clássico do Sertão
O principal rival do Esporte de Patos é o Nacional Atlético Clube. Torcedores e dirigentes de ambas as equipes não perdem a oportunidade de a cada clássico ou situação, tripudiar sobre o seu maior adversário.

She was gone. Joe Pickett had good reason to dislike Dallas Cates, even if he was a rodeo champion, and now he has even more - Joe's eighteen-year-old ward, April, has run off with him.
And then comes even worse news: The body of a girl has been found in a ditch along the highway - alive, but just barely, the victim of blunt force trauma. It is April, and the doctors aren't sure if she'll recover. Cates denies having anything to do with it - says she ran away from him, too - and there's evidence that points to another man. But Joe knows in his gut who's responsible. What he doesn't know is the kind of danger he's about to encounter. Cates is bad enough, but Cates's family is like none Joe has ever met before...

Financial Incentives of Tarpon Springs FL Solar Panels
The federal solar tax credit is a tax credit that can be claimed on your federal tax return.

In other words, if you're interested in Tarpon Springs solar panels, act quickly!
Tarpon Springs FL Solar Sales Tax Exemption
For the purchase of solar panel installations, the state of Florida generously gives a Solar Sales Tax Exemption.

Carina Vogt has the distinction of being the first woman to win an Olympic ski jumping gold medal, a feat she achieved at Sochi 2014 somewhat to her own surprise. The German proved it was no fluke, however, by then claiming back-to-back individual and mixed normal hill world titles in 2015 and 2017, though she was unable to retain her Olympic crown at PyeongChang 2018, where she finished fifth in a competition won by Norway's Maren Lundby.
Hailing from Schwäbisch Gmünd in Baden-Wurtemberg, Vogt made her international ski jumping debut aged just 12 in an FIS event in Meinerzhagen (GER) in August 2004. Two years later, she made her first appearance in the Continental Cup - the top ladies' international competition prior to the introduction of the FIS World Cup -and finished a creditable fourth in 2007, fifth in 2010 and eighth at the FIS Nordic Junior World Ski Championships in 2011.
In April 2011, the IOC Executive Board added women's ski jumping to the programme for Sochi 2014 and a year later the sport got another huge boost when the International Ski Federation launched the Ski Jumping World Cup, providing male and female athletes with a new platform. Vogt was a regular on the World Cup podium, racking up four second places and four thirds, but found victory elusive. In Sochi, that would change.
The inaugural Olympic women's ski jumping competition took place on the HS106 hill in Rosa Khutor on 11 February 2014, and Vogt marked the occasion by flying out to 103m with her first jump to take the lead. Holding her nerve on her second, the German jumped 97.5m for a combined total of 247.4 points - just enough for her to win a wholly unexpected gold from Austrian veteran Daniela Iraschko-Stolz and France's Coline Mattel, while pre-competition favourite Sara Takanashi came in fourth.
Reflecting on her shock triumph the following day, she added: "I stayed focused and made sure I didn't get distracted. Getting both my jumps right is just crazy." Having etched her name in the history of the Games and her sport, Vogt, a policewoman by day, was intent on building on her stunning achievement.
She followed up by landing her first World Cup win on the HS100 hill in Zaō (JAP) in January 2015, with a second coming her way just 12 days later in Hinzenbach (AUT). While she has since failed to add to those two victories on the World Cup scene, her recent performances at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships have been nothing short of flawless.
By the time she headed to PyeongChang 2018, Vogt was a four-time world champion, with the first two of those crowns coming in Falun (SWE) in February 2015. The German began by taking gold in the individual normal hill, a medal that Iraschko-Stolz looked to have in her grasp when she scored 122.9 points with her opening leap of 92.5m, with Vogt over three points back, ahead of Japan's Yuki Ito.
There was yet more joy for Vogt two days later when she joined forces with compatriots Richard Freitag, Katharina Althaus and Severin Freund to help Germany win the mixed normal hill title from Norway and Japan.
Vogt retained both titles in Lahti, Finland, two years later. After impressing in training for the individual competition, she landed 98.5m with her first jump to lie third at the halfway stage behind Takanashi and Norway's Maren Lundby. In jumping three metres further with her second attempt, she totalled 254.6 to take the gold again, with the Japanese duo of Ito and Takanashi taking the other medals.
Linking up 48 hours later with Markus Eisenbichler, Svenja Wuerth and Andreas Wellinger as Germany's only reigning world champion, Vogt helped her country retain the team title ahead of Austria and Japan. In the process, she became women's ski jumping's one and only four-time world champion.
When the German came to defend her Olympic individual normal hill title at PyeongChang 2018, she went out to 97m with her first jump. That left her no higher than sixth, some way behind the front three, who all cleared 103m. Though her second jump of 101.5m was a considerable improvement, she climbed just one place to finish out of the medals.
"I can be satisfied with my performance because I showed exactly what I've been working towards. I needed a bit of luck if I was going to do any better than I did," said Vogt after seeing Lundby succeed her as Olympic champion, with her compatriots Althaus and Takanashi taking silver and bronze respectively.
At the age of 26, Vogt is ready to continue her pursuit for excellence - her sights set on the 2019 World Championships in Seefeld (AUT), more World Cup success, and a possible return to the Olympic stage at Beijing 2022.

Just after midnight on March 12, 1928, the recently completed St. Francis Dam collapsed, sending a 12-billion gallon wall of water through the narrow canyon and ultimately to the Pacific Ocean. The disaster killed at least 450 people and effectively ended the storied career William Mulholland, who designed the dam and presided at opening ceremonies just two years earlier. The tour of the dam site will be led by geologist Mark Vincent. Mr. Vincent, a graduate of CSULA and an engineering geologist for GeoLogic Associates, will discuss the history and the geology of the area and the engineering and geological issues that led to the dam's failure. The tour will commence approximately 1.5 miles beneath the dam site. Participants will able to explore remnants of the dam itself – immense blocks of concrete which were washed down the canyon by the force of the water.
The dam site is located approximately 1.3 miles up a mostly paved road. There are several parts of the road that are partially covered with gravel, but most of it is easily walkable. There is approximately 120 feet of elevation gain over the course of the 1.3 mile walk. Participants should wear comfortable walking shoes and bring sun screen and hats.

U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, WASHINGTON 25, D. C.
GSA Bulletin (1951) 62 (9): 1111-1148.
Paleontology and biochemistry together may yield fairly definite information, eventually, about the paleochemistry of sea water and atmosphere. Several less conclusive lines of evidence now available suggest that the composition of both sea water and atmosphere may have varied somewhat during the past; but the geologic record indicates that these variations have probably been within relatively narrow limits. A primary problem is how conditions could have remained so nearly constant for so long.
It is clear, even from inadequate data on the quantities and compositions of ancient sediments, that the more volatile materials—H2O, CO2, Cl, N, and S— are much too abundant in the present atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere and in ancient sediments to be explained, like the commoner rock-forming oxides, as the products of rock weathering alone. If the earth were once entirely gaseous or molten, these "excess" volatiles may be residual from a primitive atmosphere. But if so, certain corollaries should follow about the quantity of water dissolved in the molten earth and the expected chemical effects of a highly acid, primitive ocean. These corollaries appear to be contradicted by the geologic record, and doubt is therefore cast on this hypothesis of a dense primitive atmosphere. It seems more probable that only a small fraction of the total "excess" volatiles was ever present at one time in the early atmosphere and ocean.
Carbon plays a significant part in the chemistry of sea water and in the realm of living matter. The amount now buried as carbonates and organic carbon in sedimentary rocks is about 600 times as great as that in today's atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. If only 1/100 of this buried carbon were suddenly added to the present atmosphere and ocean, many species of marine organisms would probably be exterminated. Furthermore, unless CO2 is being added continuously to the atmosphere-ocean system from some source other than rock weathering, the present rate of its subtraction by sedimentation would, in only a few million years, cause brucite to take the place of calcite as a common marine sediment. Apparently, the geologic record shows no evidence of such simultaneous extinctions of many species nor such deposits of brucite. Evidently the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and ocean has remained relatively constant throughout much of the geologic past. This calls for some source of gradual and continuous supply, over and above that from rock weathering and from the metamorphism of older sedimentary rocks.
A clue to this source is afforded by the relative amounts of the different "excess" volatiles. These are similar to the relative amounts of the same materials in gases escaping from volcanoes, fumaroles, and hot springs and in gases occluded in igneous rocks. Conceivably, therefore, the hydrosphere and atmosphere may have come almost entirely from such plutonic gases. During the crystallization of magmas, volatiles such as H2O and CO2 accumulate in the remaining melt and are largely expelled as part of the final fractions. Volcanic eruptions and lava flows have brought volatiles to the earth's surface throughout the geologic past; but intrusive rocks are probably a much more adequate source of the constituents of the atmosphere and hydrosphere. Judged by the thermal springs of the United States, hot springs (carrying only 1 per cent or less of juvenile matter) may be the principal channels by which the "excess" volatiles have escaped from cooling magmas below.
This mechanism fails to account for a continuous supply of volatiles unless it also provides for a continuous generation of new, volatile-rich magmas. Possibly such local magmas form by a continuous process of selective fusion of subcrustal rocks, to a depth of several hundred kilometers below the more mobile areas of the crust. This would imply that the volume of the ocean has grown with time. On this point, geologic evidence permits differences of interpretation; the record admittedly does not prove, but it seems consistent with, an increasing growth of the continental masses and a progressive sinking of oceanic basins. Perhaps something like the following mechanism could account for a continuous escape of volatiles to the earth's surface and a relatively uniform composition of sea water through much of geologic time: (1) selective fusion of lower-melting fractions from deep-seated, nearly anhydrous rocks beneath the unstable continental margins and geosynclines; (2) rise of these selected fractions (as granitic and hydrous magmas) and their slow crystallization nearer the surface; (3) essentially continuous isostatic readjustment between the differentiating continental masses and adjacent ocean basins; and (4) renewed erosion and sedimentation, with resulting instability of continental margins and mountainous areas and a new round of selective fusion below.

Quantum Computer Kicks PC Ass in First Ever Head-to-Head Test
Scientists often claim that quantum computers will blow the competition away in the coming years—and now the world's first head-to-head test has shown they leave regular PCs reeling in their wake.
Quantum computer use the idea of quantum bits, called qubits, that can theoretically take the value of 0 and 1 at the same time—unlike normal digital computers that can only take one state. It's that blurring of 0s and 1s that gives rise to the claims of speed. But while quantum computers sound futuristic, there are already a handful of systems in existence. It's not yet clear that these devices are genuine quantum computers—it's actually impossible to tell whether they genuinely make use of the physics of quantum entanglement when they're running—but they're certainly based on the appropriate theory.
Now, D-Wave, which makes one of these quantum computers, has let Catherine McGeoch of Amherst College, Massachusetts, test it against a "high-end desktop computer". The D-Wave hardware is designed to solve a special kind of optimization problem, by minimizing the solution of a complicated equation—an incredibly common computer science puzzle. New Scientist describes how the competition went:
McGeoch gave each system roughly half a second to find the best solution to a version of the optimisation problem, and repeated the trial with 100 different versions. She then did the experiment for problems involving even more variables and a more complicated equation.
The D-Wave computer found the best solution every time within half a second. The three regular algorithms struggled to keep up for problems with more than 100 or so variables. The best of the three, CPLEX, had to run for half an hour to match D-Wave's performance on the largest problems.
That's 3,600 times longer—quite some difference. Of course, it's debatable as to whether it's a fair test: the quantum computer specializes in solving the problem, whereas the PCs are true all-rounders. But when thrown other kinds of problems, the quantum computer did match or outperform the other computers, too. Evidence, then, that quantum computers really do kick ass—it just might still be a few years before you lay your hands on one. [New Scientist]

1. Go to control panel and remove/delete file named as "HbsMozillaLauncher1.0".
3. Use Windows update to install the latest update for the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable.
4. Once installation is done, visit www.t3fun.com/home/home.aspx.
5. Once you visit our homepage, you will be asked to download setup.exe.
6. Download setup.exe and run it.
7. Log-in and play the game.
*White box appears before the launcher. It may take couple of minutes.
1. Describe the things that happen when you press Start.
2. What browser do you user? What version?
5. If there is any error msg, screenshot the error msg.
im a chrome user sir, i followed every instruction in the post, but still it didnt work pls ..
Still doesn't run? What do you mean? You log-in, click game start, then nothing happens?
Check the Tech issues FAQ about the UpdaterRun.exe. It usually takes 5 minutes or more to run, so you might just need to wait.
Use the ctrl+alt+delete thing, go to Processes, and look for UpdaterRun. If it's there, then you just need to wait.
Oh yeah, you also need to install some Activex controls or the HBsMozillaLauncher 1.0 (that thing works for both Mozilla and Chrome), both of which can be downloaded when you try to log-in or click game start. Check the guide above, or the tech issues faqs to see the detailed instructions.
*Image ain't mine. Just searched it on the internet.
HbsMozillaLauncher1.0 I do not have this file in my control panel.
Oh hi there! try to select first Add/Remove Program and then try to find HbsMozillaLauncher1.0 then uninstall the program. Then do the next procedure.
I think the mutitude of problems reported in this forum should be enough to indicate that a browser based launcher is a bad idea.
Ultimately, browsers are not intended to 'interact' with the underlying operating system and platform on which they reside.
Deveopers of browsers generally go to great lengths to 'sandbox' the browsing session, in an attempt to prevent malicous code from the internet from compomising the host.
Any attempt to circumvent this is foolhardy at best.
hard to attain even in website development (i know because i am a web developer).
And the most farce about this, is that the browser that you targeted is IE which we all know that IE is already dead.
People are using chrome or firefox.
First setback is the delay in CBT launch on Jan 13, now this and the delay on Feb 2.
I already lost my appetite in playing this game, because of many setbacks.
THE USERS MUST DO TO MANY THINGS JUST TO PLAY THE GAME. come on.. even a student is business management will know better than that.
Your text is extremely annoying.
No, my post is helpful to the poster with the ridiculous colours in that it might make him/her change their text and so make it easier for people to read, understand & consider what the poster is saying.
nah, thought about it three times. still unhelpful.

Ayah Bdeir of LittleBits
Ayah Bdeir
MIT Media Lab, LEGO Lab, E14-4th floor
Media Lab alumna Ayah Bdeir will discuss how she started littleBits, an open-source kit of electronic modules that snap together with magnets for prototyping and play. Bdeir will talk about the LittleBits technical platform, an entirely analog, modular, "object-oriented" hardware platform. On the heels of her recent TED talk, she will discuss the idea of turning interaction into building blocks, and providing the ability to program behavior without having to write any code. littleBits seeks to make electronics accessible to kids, designers, and artists as a material to be combined with other craft and design materials. Bdeir will show some examples of projects that the community has done over the past few months, ranging from an interactive piggy bank, to an electronic version of fooseball game, and lead a discussion on how to create an open-source community of inventors.
Ayah Bdeir is an engineer, interactive artist, and founder of littleBits, an open-source kit of electronic modules that snap together with magnets. Only six months after its creation, litteBits has been acquired by MoMA for the museum's permanent collection, won best of ToyFair, been featured by TED, the BBC , Forbes, and Popular Science, and been called LEGOs for the iPad generation by Bloomberg TV. Bdeir received her master's from the MIT Media Lab, where she was a student in the Computing Culture group led by Chris Csikszentmihalyi. Prior to that, Bdeir studied Computer Engineering and Sociology in the American University of Beirut. After the Media Lab (and a brief stint in Finance), Ayah got a fellowship and senior fellowship at Eyebeam Art+Technology center. She taught graduate classes at NYU and Parsons, and taught numerous workshops to get non-engineers, and particularly young girls, interested in science and technology. Bdeir was a mentor in the regional reality tv-show Stars of Science, promoting science and technology innovation in the Middle East. Bdeir was named a 2010 Creative Commons fellow in recognition of her work, including spearheading the first Open Hardware definition and co-chairing the Open Hardware Summit at the New York Hall of Science in September of 2010 and 2011. Just recently, Bdeir was chosen to be a TED fellow , one of 25 innovators in 2012 from around the world. Bdeir is also the founder of Karaj, Beirut's lab for experimental art, architecture, and technology.

I had the occasion over the weekend to review some old papers on causal loop diagrams and thought it would be valuable to summarize some of the key points, which are still relevant.
1. It is important to examine the loops and links in your model to understand the following effects.
Which are information links? Information links convey information, such as the a decision, but not material.
Which are flow links? Flow links convey tangible items that can turn the node into a stock, or a container of value. Examine any flow links for these aspects, which may affect the resulting behavior over time of the loop.
Rate-to-level. Look for links that increase a stock when positive but do not decrease it when negative (or vice versa).
Hidden loops. Look for omitted loops that may be important to the behavior under study.
Net rates. Examine links to determine if they create a one type of loop (for example, reinforcing) when positive and the other type of loop (for example, balancing) when negative.
When polarities are labeled with positive and negative signs, links can be defined as either additive or proportional influences, and the notation works well semantically in either case. One can say that a positive arrow from A to B means that A adds to B, or, a change in A causes a change in B in the same direction (resulting in a positive correlation or direct variation). For a negative link from A to B one says A subtracts from B, or, a change in A causes a change in B in the opposite direction.
3. Assign the type of loop based on the count of negative links, not the dynamic behavior over time.
Often, loops are defined on the basis of their dynamic behavior. That is, reinforcing loops are defined as the key variable as having an exponentially increasing or decreasing curve, while balancing loops are defined as oscillating around a goal line. However, this can be problematic because in some loops the key variable could exhibit a reinforcing behavior or balancing behavior, depending on the values of variables in the loop. Consequently, it is recommended to classify loops as balancing when they have an odd number of negative links and reinforcing when they have an even number of negative links.
Here's why. Negative feedback loops are broadly referred to in engineering and biology as an input into a system that tends to offset the system's general direction, leading to a state of equilibrium. Positive feedbacks, on the other hand, reinforce the general direction.
One could easily argue that economists should stick with these definitions when talking about the economy. By that logic, interconnected trouble in the economy — say, when weak housing hurts consumer spending, leading to more weakness in housing and spilling into more corners of the economy — is actually a positive feedback loop.
Or not. Economic downturns, and the processes that propagate downturns, are commonly called "negative." Calling this dynamic "positive" would be confusing for readers unaquainted with the technical language — a view shared by Yale economist John Geanakoplos, who was quoted in the column.
To create a place for researching what is available on the web, I've added a new page under Systems Education. This page contains online resources for learning about systems thinking. There are links to pages with articles and case studies, as well as some fun videos and demonstrations.
I've just added a page on different tools that can be used for modeling systems. Some of these tools are drawing packages, which are good for many types of models. Others are concept-mapping tools that are often easier to use for causal-loop diagrams and other simple line-and-box depictions. Soon, I'm going to add tools for simulating systems to the same page.
