Stocks Fall as China's Response to U.S. Tariffs Stokes Economic Anxiety
Chinese EconomyFeaturedLatest Reports
Investors are digesting the probability of the trade war between the United States and China continuing, taking a toll on businesses and consumers as the two countries ratchet up tariffs on each other's exports.
The S&P 500 tumbled more than 2 percent on Monday, with trade-dependent companies hit the hardest after Beijing said it would retaliate against the Trump administration's plan to raise tariffs on Chinese goods. After the losses it experienced last week, the benchmark index is now down more than 4 percent this month.
The drop is a turnabout for seasoned investors who had previously sloughed off concerns about the trade war's impact on the global economy, corporate profits and American consumers.
They are now acutely focused on the daily trade twists, and the fallout in the financial markets has been swift. Shares of companies with significant exposure to China, including semiconductor makers that rely on production networks in the country, have fared badly in the past week.
On Monday, Apple, which counts China as a major market for the sale of its iPhone and other devices and leans heavily on Chinese suppliers to produce them, fell more than 4 percent. Boeing, one of the largest exporters in the United States dropped more than 3 percent. Wynn Resorts, which is heavily reliant on casino operations in Macau that cater to gamblers from mainland China, fell about 6 percent.
As stocks have wobbled over the past week, some analysts have argued that a decline was long overdue for a market that soared to a record high in the first four months of the year. There was a shift after President Trump expressed frustration over the state of trade talks between the world's two largest economies. On Friday, Mr. Trump raised tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese-made goods.
But signs of economic anxiety also appeared in other financial markets on Monday. The price of Treasury bonds rose, as investors sought the safety of government securities. Prices for soybeans and copper, both of which are sensitive to global growth and trade, dropped. Interest rates rose in corporate bond markets, an indication that investors were seeking higher premiums in response to the increased economic risks of a worsening trade fight.
"This would essentially be another thorn in the global economy's side," Gregory Daco, chief U.S. economist at consulting firm Oxford Economics.
Alternatively, the global economy continues to expand, the pace of growth in has slowed in recent months in much of the world. On April 9, the International Monetary Fund reduced its growth forecast for 2019 to 3.3 percent, which would be among the slowest annual paces in the past decade. In adjusting its forecast, the fund citing, in part, the tensions between China and the United States. It also said it expected about 70 percent of the global economy to slow this year.
Stocks in Europe added to earlier losses in afternoon trade on Monday, with the CAC 40 index in France and the Dax in Germany down by more than 1 percent.
In Asia, where trading ended before Beijing's tariff announcement, the Shanghai Composite Index fell 1.2 percent, and the Shenzhen Composite Index fell 1.1 percent. In South Korea, the Kospi index fell 1.4 percent, Taiwan's Taiex index fell by a similar amount and Japan's Nikkei 225 index lost 0.7 percent.

MERS-coronavirus
The 'Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus' (MERS-CoV) is a fairly new type of coronavirus, which may cause severe symptoms.
Publication date 05/19/2014 - 00:00 Modification date 01/04/2021 - 14:16
The 'Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus' (MERS-CoV) is a fairly new type of coronavirus that was discovered in September 2012 which may cause severe symptoms, in particular among people who suffer from underlying conditions. The virus owes its name to the region where it presented itself for the first time and where most cases have been found: the Middle East.
The Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) caused an outbreak in several countries in the Middle East and in South Korea from 2012 onwards. The virus is still circulating in the Middle East. Since the discovery of the virus in 2012, worldwide 1,800 patients (September 2016) with a laboratory-confirmed infection of MERS-CoV have been reported to the World Health Organization (WHO). Of these patients, 640 have died. In the Netherlands, two travellers returned from Saudi Arabia with MERS-CoV in May 2014. The MERS coronavirus is sometimes compared to the SARS virus; the SARS virus is also a coronavirus, however, MERS-CoV and the SARS virus are two different types of coronaviruses, each with their own characteristics.
Signs of disease
Many coronaviruses can cause respiratory infections in humans and animals. Usually, these are simply symptoms of a cold. The MERS coronavirus is a special type of coronavirus that may present a more serious clinical picture with very severe respiratory symptoms, also referred to as Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Patients suffer from fever, coughing, shortness of breath and respiratory problems. Due to the seriousness of these symptoms, these people are admitted to hospital. Some patients suffer from diarrhoea. The clinical picture is less serious among healthy and younger people.
How do people get ill?
It is not entirely clear as yet how people contract the virus and much research is now being carried out. The virus is also found among dromedary camels in the Middle East. It is suspected that the virus is mainly transferred from these animals to people. Transfer from human to human is rare and usually occurs in the hospital.
Travellers to the Middle East
The risk of travellers becoming ill is very low. No travel warning has been issued for the Middle East, but travellers should take hygienic measures, however, and avoid contact with sick people, animals (in particular dromedary camels) and animal waste. Eating or drinking raw animal products (such as dromedarie camel milk) is not recommended. Travellers to the Middle East who start coughing, experience shortness of breath, and fever or diarrhoea during their journey, or within two weeks after it, are advised to contact their GP. The usual travel recommendations for hygiene and for the Middle East can be found on the LCR website.
Because the MERS coronavirus was discovered a relatively short time ago, there is limited information as to how the virus is spread. The government focuses on tracking all possible patients with the MERS coronavirus in the Netherlands as soon as possible to prevent any further spread of the virus. The MERS coronavirus has thus been included as a notifiable disease in group A for care providers in the hospital, meaning that a specialist in the hospital is obliged to immediately report a patient who is suspected of being contaminated with the MERS coronavirus to the Municipal Health Service.
No new MERS patients in the Netherlands
Almost two months ago, two Dutch people were diagnosed with the MERS coronavirus.

The traveling swing dancers of the Southeast
Statesboro Swings Out attracts dancers up and down East Coast

Every year in April, a three-day dancing event invites people to swing into spring — literally.
With workshops, competitions and social dances, Statesboro Swings Out draws together a close-knit community of dancers from up and down the East Coast. They come from university dance clubs and the "dance scenes" of the Southeast's larger cities, carpooling to travel hundreds of miles and crash on the couches of other dancers they may never have met, all for the love of swing and Lindy Hop dancing.
T his year's Statesboro Swings Out blended informal dancing opportunities with intensive hour-long classes. Divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced to accommodate dancers of differing experience, the classes worked on everything from technique to style to dancers' communication with their partners. At the end of the day, the dancers reconvened for another big social dance to show off what they'd learned and to watch the Jack and Jill competition, a dance-off between the
10 best dancers on the floor, randomly matched into five couples.
Statesboro Swings Out is known for coming up with creative themes for each year, such as "Happy Dance Fun Time," which focused on having fun with one's dance partner during the dance, and "I Swing Out So Hard," which helped dancers develop aspects of their technique. This year's iteration was called "#FollowLove," taking dancers' usual focus from the "lead" — the dominant partner in the dance — to the "follow," the responding partner. As coordinator Megan Bowen said, the event's organizers wanted this year to emphasize the conversation between partners for a more fun, dynamic dancing experience.

The event began in 2009 as a workshop hosted by the Swing Cats, Georgia Southern University's swing and Lindy Hop dance club. Bowen was club president at the time. She organized the first event, called "Statesboro Blues," to bring in a few instructors from Atlanta to focus on blues dancing.
"We figured it was just going to be a local thing," Bowen said. "We didn't even do pre-registration; we just posted on our Swing Cats Facebook page that we were having it."
It was quite a surprise, then, when the teachers showed up with about
75 people in tow, from as far as South Carolina and Florida.
After Bowen graduated, she restarted the event independently — though with a lot of participation from the Swing Cats club — in 2011, renaming it "Statesboro Swings Out". "#FollowLove" was SSO's fifth iteration, and like the last three years before it, the event drew in a crowd of about 120 dancers from throughout the Southeast region.
"It's nice to bring events like this to our small club," Bowen said. "This is the kind of thing that, for me, generated excitement about learning how to swing dance."
Swing dance subculture
Though it may not be a particularly visible community, swing dancing has a full-blown subculture.
"It's got its own leaders, it's got its own hierarchy, it's got its own guidelines and etiquette and rules and, really, even style of dress," Bowen said. That style of dress, by the way, is typically described as "hepcat," a term from the 1940s that now refers to a vintage look often associated with today's hipsters.
A serious and enthusiastic swing dancer can tell you the names of their favorite dancers and instructors. They have a specific vocabulary for swing moves, such as "swingouts," "swivels" and "double-tuck turns," and they may spend hours tracking down YouTube tutorials to help them practice each one. They have their own slang; for instance, feeling "swungover" refers to being exhausted after a rigorous weekend of dancing. And many of them travel throughout their region or across the country for other events in other dancing communities.
Southeastern swing dancers have no shortage of events to choose from. In addition to Statesboro Swings Out, which is one of the smaller events, swing dancers can attend CHEX in Charleston, South Carolina; The School of Hard Knox in Knoxville, Tennessee; and Lindy Focus in Asheville, North Carolina, to name just a few.
The traveling dance community
Dancers have many different motivations for shelling out the money and spending the time it takes to travel to the regional events. Most are looking to brush up their skills with new partners for fresh perspective and feedback. Josie Maples, who attends college and dances in Asheville, North Carolina, and who came to this year's SSO event, said the opportunity to travel and see new cities is definitely a draw for her. Since the start of 2015, Maples has been to four different regional events, including Lindy Focus and Nashville's Music City Exchange.
Another major draw for many dancers is the social aspect. Regular travelers end up making friends in the dance community that they rarely see outside of the regional events. Some of these acquaintances progress into meaningful relationships that exist off the dance floor and unite them across state lines.
"I would say most of the people I meet through dance I only see at dances and I don't even really talk to outside of dance," Maples said. "But there are a few people who have crossed those lines and actually become really good friends. … The dances can be a really good home base to see everybody."
Nick Plotts, 27, of Duluth, has been to six events this year — including SSO — and said he's aiming for an even dozen before the end of 2015. Plotts was a member of the Swing Cats when he attended Georgia Southern as an undergraduate. While SSO may not be the biggest event around, Plotts said he tries to attend every year.
"I get to see my friends who are still here in the area — friends who I've made through dancing and friends who used to be Swing Cats and who now come back because this is their homecoming," Plotts said. "It's really a lot of fun for me to do the traveling and see the different friends I've made through the years because of dancing."

Q: Unable to fetch Stream of Strings and pass it as a parameter to another method which returns int public class JavaStreamMultIterator {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    }

    private void iterateStringList() {
        List<String> stringList = Arrays.asList("one", "two", "three");

        List<Integer> intList = new ArrayList<>();
        intList = stringList
                .stream()
                .forEach(s - > {intForString(s));
                .collect(Collectors.toList());
    }

    private Integer intForString(String s) {

        switch (s) {
            case "one":
                return 1;
            case "two":
                return 2;
            case "three":
                return 3;
            default:
                return 15;
        }
    }
}

I have a List<String> and I want to iterate through this list, fetch the String and pass it as a parameter to method.
That method will return an Integer and I want to add it to a List<Integer>.
intList = stringList
            .stream()
            .forEach(s - > {intForString(s));
            .collect(Collectors.toList());

A: forEach is terminal function, it would consume and does not return anything.
You need to value from intForString() for your list generation.
List<Integer> intList =
                stringList //your list
                .stream() //generate stream
                .map(this::intForString) //map them to integer
                .collect(Collectors.toList());//collect all the integer toList()

A: Try use map
stringList.stream()
            .map(s->intForString(s))
            .collect(Collectors.toList());

Google blocks world's largest-ever web distributed DDoS cyber attack
By TheSpuzz Desk August 20, 2022 Updated: August 20, 2022 Tech No Comments3 Mins Read
Google has blocked the largest-ever web distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) cyber attack on a customer that peaked at 46 million requests per second (RPS).
This is the largest 'Layer 7 DDoS' reported to date — at least 76 per cent larger than the previously reported record, according to the company.
"To give a sense of the scale of the attack, that is like receiving all the daily requests to Wikipedia (one of the top 10 trafficked websites in the world) in just 10 seconds," Satya Konduru, Technical Lead, Google Cloud, said in a statement late on Friday.
Also Read : Wayfair lays off 870 people, about 5 percent of its global workforce
DDoS cyber-attacks are increasing in frequency and growing in size exponentially.
"Our customer's network security team deployed the Google Cloud Armor-recommended rule into their security policy, and it immediately started blocking the attack traffic," said Emil Kiner, senior product manager, Cloud Armor.
In the two minutes that followed, the attack began to ramp up, growing from 100,000 RPS to a peak of 46 million RPS.
Since Cloud Armor was already blocking the attack traffic, the target workload continued to operate normally.
"Over the next few minutes, the attack started to decrease in size, ultimately ending 69 minutes later. Presumably the attacker likely determined they were not having the desired impact while incurring significant expenses to execute the attack," said the company.
The geographic distribution and types of unsecured services leveraged to generate the attack matches the Meris family of attacks.
Known for its massive attacks that have broken DDoS records, the Meris method abuses unsecured proxies to obfuscate the true origin of the attacks, said Google.
The attack was stopped at the edge of Google's network, with the malicious requests blocked upstream from the customer's application.
Attack sizes will continue to grow and tactics will continue to evolve.
To be prepared, Google recommended using a defense-in-depth strategy by deploying defenses and controls at multiple layers of your environment and your infrastructure providers' network "to protect your web applications and services from targeted web attacks".

The republic of Chili threw off the allegiance to the Crown of Spain by the declaration of independence of September 18, 1810. The constitution, voted by the representatives of the nation in 1833, establishes three authorities in the state—the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. The legislative power is vested in two assemblies, called the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. The Senate is composed of twenty members, elected for the term of nine years; while the Chamber of Deputies, chosen for a period of three years, consists of one representative for every 20,000 of the population. The executive is exercised by a president, elected for a term of five years.


Your landlord is prohibited from making deals that restrict you to a single video provider, and those prohibitions should apply to your broadband service as well. Yet, across the country, tenants remain locked into a single choice. In January of 2017, San Francisco became the first city to take action toward filling in the loopholes that enable anti-competitive practices. Will 2019 see more cities adopting similar protections?
Large Corporate ISPs—looking to lock out competition—have created a market of landlord addiction to practices that take advantage of these loopholes in the FCC's prohibition on exclusive access agreements, by simply denying physical access to any but their preferred ISP. These owners and Real Estate Investment Trusts may charge prohibitive Door Fees, participate in ISP revenue sharing schemes, or enter into exclusive marketing agreements. While ostensibly legal, these practices often result in the same lack of choice, and disincentivization of innovation, the FCC intended to curtail.
Oakland resident J. Oswald who has been instrumental in rallying support for the adoption of an ordinance that builds on the template set by San Francisco, believes that lack of awareness is at the heart of why this practice has been able to continue for so long. "Most people aren't even aware they are discreetly being ripped off. When I first read about the landlord-ISP payola, I couldn't comprehend why this hijacking was allowed to happen." Property manager lack of awareness regarding the FCC's prohibitions also seems to play a key role in how exclusive advertising agreements become exclusive access agreements—in practice if not in name. In a piece titled The New Payola, Wired highlighted how companies like Comcast encourage this confusion, sending letters to building staff at properties where they have exclusive marketing arrangements including phrases such as "under our agreement they are not permitted to do anything on property or that is coordinated with property owner or management." It's not difficult to see how a property manager could read that exclusive right to extend well beyond what the FCC regulations permit.
ISPs with exclusive access to properties have little reason to offer residents competitive pricing, improved customer service, better selection, or quality of services. Choice of Communication Service Provider ordinances like San Francisco's put the power to choose back in the hands of consumers. Should Oakland, and other cities, adopt a similar ordinance, landlords would be required to provide access to qualified ISPs given they can show that at least one resident is seeking service through the provider. The ordinance requires that property owners be given reasonable notice before a communication service provider intends to inspect the property or install equipment, and makes great effort to assure proper maintenance of the owners property, while ensuring that any refusal of access is in the interest of protecting the safety, functioning, and appearance of the property, instead of an incumbent ISP's profits.
EFF supported the adoption of San Francisco's ordinance two years ago. We stand with Oakland residents, community groups and advocates such as Sudo Mesh and Media Alliance, and privacy and net neutrality respecting ISPs such as Monkey Brains, in calling for an end to the broadband oligopoly created by pay-to-play schemes. Across the U.S., local members of the Electronic Frontier Alliance (EFA) are working to assure that their neighbors' online rights and privacy are respected and supported. Visit eff.org/fight to find your local ally, and support returning the power of choice to thousands of renters, instead of lining the pockets of the largest ISPs and Real Estate Trusts.

Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, Where Waves and Rocks Collide, Washed by Endless Tides

Athlyn Green makes her home minutes away from the Bay of Fundy. She enjoys the huge tides, rugged coastlines, and stunning vistas.
Peggy in the Wave

The Most Popular Tourist Attraction in Atlantic Canada
Peggy's cove offers a perfect blending of elements: sparkling blue ocean waters, bleached and weathered rocks worn smooth by wave action, and a lighthouse that looks out over Atlantic waters. Waves crash and spray over the the rocks and no matter the weather, Peggy's Cove, in its many moods, is a spot that offers an unbeatable canvas, one that painters and photographers strive to capture.
It is the most famous working fishing village in the world and one that offers plenty of exploring and photo opportunities. Storyboards throughout the area detail interesting area tidbits and facts, local shops offer Maritime souvenirs, and cafes offer an assortment of delicious treats.
Visitors are sure to be impressed by the sheer power of the waves, and even those who stay well back from the edge have been sprayed or drenched when a high wave came in unexpectedly. There no shortage of the thrill factor in this unique corner of Canada.
An Intriguing Legend
A shipwreck on Halibut Rock... a lone survivor...
A Name and a Legend
How did this rocky outcropping get its moniker Peggy's Cove?
Originally called Eastern Point Harbor, (a lackluster name, at best) the cove may have taken its name after St. Margaret's Bay because Peggy is another name for Margaret--or, it is possible the name could have arisen in honor of the wife of an early settler to the area.
Legend is far more interesting and weaves a tale of the sole survivor of a shipwreck in the 1800s, who was given the name of Peggy. Villagers would say, "Let's go visit Peggy of the cove." Peggy, it was said, later married a villager and the handle, "Peggy of the cove," continued and eventually became the name of the place.
Peggy's historical roots have been strengthened by outside sources who remember the survivor.
Whatever the origin of the name, one can't help but think that the name has helped to stimulate interest in this area of Eastern Canada.
Picturesque Peggy's Cove Lighthouse
Peggy's Point Lighthouse
One of the most-photographed structures in Atlantic Canada, this lighthouse has earned distinction as being one of the most recognizable lighthouses in the world.
Peggy's Cove Lighthouse
Built in 1915, the famous lighthouse marks the eastern entrance to St. Margaret's Bay. The lighthouse stands sentinel on an impressive granite outcropping, known as Peggy's Point and is one of the most recognizable lighthouses in Atlantic Canada and indeed the world.
While tourists who venture out on the rocks around the lighthouse stand a chance of being sprayed by the turbulent waters, the smooth rocks and giant waves present additional hazards. Each year, unlucky individuals are actually washed off by rogue waves. Sadder still, the sea has claimed its share of hapless victims over the years.
Village of Peggy's Cove
An Active Fishing Village and Tourist Destination
Peggy's cove is 43 kilometers from Halifax and is still an active fishing village, one of many along the rocky coastline bordering the Atlantic ocean.
It is likely very similar to how it was in Peggy's time. Strict land use regulations are in effect to preserve the area, with most property development prohibited in order to prevent inflation of property values.
Tourists Scale the Rocks
The rocks bear testimony to the power of the waves and have been worn smooth against the forces of relentless tides and mighty storms that lash the coastline.

Power of the Atlantic
While warning signs appear in prominent locations, visitors ignore these at their peril and risk being swept from the rocks and into the sea. The waves are unpredictable and a spot on the rocks that was dry one moment can be drenched the next. Unless one has lived off the Atlantic, it is hard to comprehend the magnitude and sheer power of the waves.
Wave Action and Legend Spawn Peggy of the Cove Books
Local author, Ivan Fraser, grew up in the area, witnessing the power of the waves and hearing tell of the mysterious Peggy. He decided to bring the legend to life in a series of books about Peggy, which includes a beautifully illustrated children's book, a coloring book, and two novels suitable for older kids, teens, and adults.
Peggy of the Cove: Secrets
Peggy of the Cove: Secrets--The sole survivor of a shipwreck, a young waif is taken in by her rescuers. Peggy finds a new life in a quaint seafaring village but has no memories of her past, and she seeks out to claim her lost identity, which takes her on an adventure to Scotland.
From her rescue to daily life in the village, from the appearance of a strange ship and Peggy's trip to Scotland to a castle to discover where she came from, from a dream catcher and riddles she has to solve, Peggy, as discovered through the pages of this book, was entrancing. Fast-paced and thoroughly enjoyable. One of those books that once started, can't be put down until finished.

Peggy is to the Cove What Anne Was to the Island
Peggy, the sole survivor of a shipwreck on Halibut Rock, is fast becoming Nova Scotia's heroine and it has been said that she will be to Nova Scotia what Anne was to the Island.
Both of these characters, two orphans who overcame obstacles, have fired imaginations around the world and have helped to place an indelible mark on Eastern Canada.
Severe Weather at Peggy's Cove
Weather conditions have impacted on Peggy's cove. Hurricanes ravage the area frequently.
Hurricane Juan in 2003, caused extensive flooding, which damaged the breakwater and several homes and roads in the area.
Hurricane Bill caused further damage to the breakwater, damaged a gift shop and a home, and actually washed away one of the fishing sheds.

I d0 remember the incredible High & Low tides at Peggys Cove!
How many feet does it go up & down on an average every day?
Is it more in a season or storm?
I think these facts would be good information for visitors of Peggys Cove!
Thanks, Larry!

A quintessential Canadian sight! Peggy's Cove is Nova Soctia what Niagara Falls or the CN Tower are to Ontario and what Frontenac is to Quebec!
Interesting hub!
2 years ago from West Kootenays
Hi Ivan, that's great news. I can't wait to see the new website with all your lovely paintings, prints, books, etc.
My friend will be delighted that there's been such a response to his photos. He does a great job. He lives 5 minutes from Peggy's Cove, so he sees it in summer, winter, and during storms. That whole area is a photographer's dream, with rock-strewn coves, lighthouses, quaint villages with a backdrop of sparking waters.
Julie, I contacted Ivan Fraser and he is setting up a site for those who want Peggy in the Wave in prints or canvas. The site should be active by the end of November, 2016 and will be: Ivan Fraser .ca.
Ivan did have a website, Peggy of the Cove, where he offered both paintings and prints, including that one. You can also find him on Facebook and there is a Peggy of the Cove Facebook page, as well.
I was recently at Peggy's Cove and our guide had a print of your photograph where you can see Peggy and a Victorian dress. I would love to own a copy but haven't had any luck finding one. Can you help me?
Carol Leaderbrand
Ivan...Your work and service is well done and much appreciated. I love revisiting "Peggy's Cove" via the photos and stories; bringing to my mind the memories of my visit June 2012. Oh, how "Peggy's Cove" and it's beauty reminds one of peace of a simpler time. God Bless You and this gift you are sharing!

It'll be exciting to meet you and share. Can't wait. Let me know when you plan to come so I'll be here.
Hi Ivan,
I think it is wonderful that you've helped to bring alive "Peggy." Interesting that those ladies from North Dakota verified the shipwreck and provided a picture of Peggy, as well.
I can't wait to come down and see your museum and the Peggy products! Your photographs of Peggy's Cove are incredible!
Greetings: Is it Athlyn or Alicia? Enjoyed your article about Peggy's Cove. Great job. Peggy's became very dear to me during my first visit when I was three or four years old. Our Uncle Sammy drove his and my family; most of us in the open back of his truck. We had a wonderful afternoon playing on the sand and wading. The location was at the far end of Visitor Information Center parking lot known as the swath. Few people go there. Thanks for placing a link to my book, Peggy of the Cove, Secrets. Much appreciated.
Hi Stephen,
Thank you! Yes, Peggy's Cove is beautiful in all its many moods.

Oh, I just love the winter pictures. So beautiful.
One more place on my list of lists to visit sometime.
Hi Ivan, Nice to see you here.

I love the photographs! It's very interesting to see Peggy's Cove in summer and in winter. I hope that I'll be able to visit the area some time.
Thank you. I had the good fortune to go down to Peggy's Cove a couple of times and got the photos. A friend of mine lives 5 minutes away and does a beautiful job of his photos and sends them to me. I will pass this on to him.

The work is aimed at solving the problem of determining the magnitude of the thermal effect arising in an alloy of the Cu-Cr system in the process of deformation by the ECAP method. For this, an approach was used based on the analysis of temperature and physical and mechanical characteristics of a unit volume of metal subjected to upsetting carried out on the Gleeble 3500 physical modeling complex. Upsetting was carried out at the degree of accumulated strain of e =1.1 at different rates of deformation (3, 30, 300 mm / s) and initial temperatures (20, 400 and 800°С). Based on the results obtained, a database was created for modeling in the Deform-3D system. The analysis of the heat capacity value is carried out and the contribution of the structural component to the used heat capacity coefficient in the Deform-3D system is estimated. Further, the ECAP process was modeled and the analysis of thermal fields and stress-strain state was carried out. It is shown that at a deformation rate of 30 mm / s, the heating reaches 99°C at room temperature and 63°C and at 400°C. The difference between the heating temperatures, with and without taking into account the heat transfer between the sample and the tooling, does not exceed 8 %.

Is there gold in your old intellectual property?
By Dave Berkus, TCA Chairman Emeritus
Digging through your IP closet for gold…
In past years, several times a month I'd have lunch with one of my CEOs, and each time we'd find ourselves digging into the intellectual property developed by the company over the years, just to refresh ourselves about what the intended use was back then and whether new developments or technologies might make these older ideas and patents relevant again.
Finding connections with a fresh set of eyes
Since I have been involved at the board level with so many companies over the years, sometimes I can see connections that might be missed by a CEO with a singular focus. So, I was surprised and excited when one of these verbal fishing expeditions during a lunch brought up a technology the company had patented years before and forgotten. The Internet was young back when the patent was first filed by the Company, and their patented product allowed a visitor to dial into a computer (does anyone remember dial-up electronic bulletin boards?) and be redirected to a screen form that would allow the user to identify themself, pay any fees required for use and agree to the terms of service. Sound familiar?
Thinking of other uses outside that older box
From my more recent experience, I recognized that this describes exactly what every guest must do when attempting to gain access to the Internet in a hotel, or Starbucks, or any of thousands of public places. It wasn't about paying for service we now expect at no extra cost just about everywhere, it was about a patent that covered that expansive service. I recalled that there was a patent war already in full swing in this very segment, centered about who was first to file a patent in just this use case.
Could your patent be older than the presumed leader?
t turns out that our patent was years ahead of those others and was general enough to cover all forms of guest access to the Internet, not just dial up as originally intended. The CEO directed the Company to begin what turned out to
be years of user challenges, a profitable licensing effort or alternatively lawsuits to protect the patent when that was required. Lots of work and millions of revenue in return. Don't get me wrong though. It is expensive and risky to pursue patent offenders. Larger corporations will attempt to challenge the patent and draw a company into an involuntary fight using the US Patent Office as the battleground. One such company dropped 2,600 pages of documents on the desk of the patent examiner in its attempt to invalidate the Company's patent.
Do you have some of that hidden treasure?
Intellectual property is the principal asset of must every technology company. The value of old patents cannot be easily estimated as new technologies reinvigorate those patents for new uses, such as the one we discovered during that fateful lunch. So: do you have hidden treasure in your vault?

Dina Harobi was the first known name of the island of Mauritius. Discovered first by the Arab settlers, it was enriched to have its name exist on maps, particularly found in Albert Cantino's map in 1502. The first recognized island was on around 9th century, emphasizing dense forests in an unknown realm. However, the Arabs were not satisfied in settling in the island for they had other motivations.
The Portuguese settlers were the next ones who landed in the country. A Portuguese sailor happened to see the island, naming it Cerne. Again, the next settlers were not interested in exploring the island. The Dutch, French, and British then discovered the beautiful paradise of Mauritius on the year 1502.
The first colonizers of the country were the Dutch. On 1598, they settled in the country and entered their way through a path in the south-eastern part. It was Warwyck Haven, named after the commander VanWarwyck, where they had started to forward their people to the beautiful world of Mauritius. The name Mauritius was formed after the name of Prince of Holland, Mauritz de Nassau. Eventually, on 1710, the Dutch left the country.
The French were the next settlers and colonizers of the country and renamed the country as Ile de France. Developments and changes had been made in the country. In August 1810, the British tried to take over the island but were lost against the French. They came back, and finally conquered the island over the French. Independence of Mauritius was gained on March 12, 1968 by the British within the Commonwealth.

Wesleyan University was founded in 1831 by Methodist leaders and Middletown citizens. Instruction began with 48 students of varying ages, the president, three professors, and one tutor; tuition was $36 per year.
The inclusion of courses that fulfill Wesleyan's general education expectations is vital to the student's educational experience at Wesleyan. To assist in the experience, the faculty has divided the curriculum into three areas: natural sciences and mathematics (NSM), the social and behavioral sciences (SBS), and the humanities and the arts (HA). The faculty has assigned a general education designation to a course when appropriate, as well as established a distributional expectation for each general education area.
The Wesleyan program for undergraduate Research in the Sciences encourages active participation of students in research in science laboratories on the Wesleyan campus. Stipend support is provided for summer research in the Sciences. Normally, this support is directed to students working with Wesleyan faculty.

My Shamrock and shillelagh sure my constant boast and Joy.
And when it fell, the crash was heard all over Skibbereen.
And found a quiet grave to rest in poor old Skibbereen.
And that, my boy's the reason why I left old Skibbereen.
Then heav'd a sigh, and bade good-by to poor old Skibbereen.

Airman augments special assignment during deployment

ALI AL SALEM AIR BASE, Kuwait --
Airmen from different backgrounds allow the world's greatest Air Force to continue to grow and adapt to face challenges. One deployed Airman is using her particular background of being born in the country of India to assist in the security of not only the base but the overall mission.
Senior Airman Ramandeep Kaur came to Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, as a defender originally assigned to the 387th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron. After arriving on station, she was then transferred over to help the Office of Special Investigation Locally Employed Persons Screening Team because of her unique upbringing.
"I speak three other languages… Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu…that's basically what most [Other Country National]'s speak here," Kaur explained. "I was working at Cargo City since I got here in July until the first week of September. Then I was brought over to OSI."
Kaur was raised in India and moved to the United States when she was 10 with her family. Her special linguistic capabilities were not the only reason that she was an obvious candidate to work in the investigations department doing background checks.
"I have a law enforcement background from before I joined the Air Force," She said. "First I was a deputy sheriff for about three years in [Northern Virginia]. I was assigned to jails and didn't really like that. So, I left that and before I joined the Air Force, I was with Homeland Security as a contractor."
Kaur, a reservist from the 911th Airlift Wing out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has been extremely busy since going to basic military training in October of 2020.
"So I got out of BMT and tech school then they said 'hey do you want to deploy?' I said why not?" she said, "it's been a blessing since then and I'm really grateful for it and a lot of good things have been happening for me since I got here."
After arriving to ASAB, Kaur took no time in fully immersing herself in military traditions by joining the base honor guard.
"Have you seen those uniforms?" she smiled as she explained, "I mean, just being able to put the uniform on and marching with pride, it just gives you goosebumps, you know? They have the taps on the shoes and every step they take, it's just like, it makes your heartbeat go faster. It's something I'm really passionate about."
Since joining the base honor guard, she said it has helped give her perspective on what she wants to do down the road in her military career.
"As far as in the Air Force, I want to join honor guard and slowly build my steps up and I want to join big Air Force honor guard." Kaur explained "The big honor guard where I get to travel to different countries and present colors, it's such an honorable thing. I think that's one of the reasons why I joined, to be a part of something like that."
Even though she has only been in the Air Force for a short time, Kaur says that she is staying focused on what's important to her.
"We take some things for granted, like the luxury of living in big houses," she said as she talked about deployment life. "I think we all get lost in our lala land sometimes, but I'll definitely be walking away from this just being grateful for everything that comes to you in life."

Korean Feedback and Comments - not alot of people on the forums these days.
not alot of people on the forums these days.
just thought i would drop by and see how everyone is doing on their Rocket Korean Language coarse.
I am doing fine Jeremy. Also have been studying Korean on other sites.
How is your Korean course going?
glad to see there is still some people participating in the forums, we need to make the forums more active.
im going good, I've also been studying Korean on other programs as well.
I've been using Rosetta Stone Korean, i also pick up a few books on Korean language. Korean for Dummies,1 Korean student dictionary, 1 Korean bilingual pocket dictionary, and 1 Korean grammar book.
I also use Rosetta Stone. Bought it recently. It's fun to use but the absence of grammar sometimes is confusing.
Have the book Korean for Dummies too (found it in my bookshelf, bought it 5 years ago but never start reading it until now...). I use it for some grammar explanations but I don't like the absence of Hangul, it uses only Romanized words.
Last sunday I checked the free site LiveMocha.com which has also a Korean course and you can help other people and they can help you. The Korean Course itself is not that good in my opinion.
I also use a book "you can speak Korean" which a bought 10 years ago in Korea.
And I watch the (free) video's of BusyAtom.com on the internet (you can find them on Youtube).
Anyway, happy learning and speak to you later!
yeah i hated that that Korean for dummies didn't have hangeul writting.
i have Korean a comprehensive grammar, one of the learners recommend that grammar book. it cost 65.00 USD but its totally worth it.
im going to log out for a bit, happy learning.
I have also been study with other sites and tools.
I like the different perspective each approach offers. I can put in 2-3 times the effort by switching between the tools. After 30-60 mins in one tools I get a bored or tired. Then I switch tools and can easily to another 30-60 mins. Same language, but my brain is fooled into thinking it is something new and fresh.
i have korean class 101.
i mostly use flash cards to study tho.
i have a game called hanguel match for ipod touch really helps alot, helped me read alot faster. you should give it a try.
[website removed by admin] has the best flash card system I have found so far.
i use physical flash cards.
i also say everything to my family in Korean first then english, helps me get use to the langauge.
best thing is to try not to translate it to english .
yeah netflix does help a little. i use a game on the ipod for hangul its called hangul match.
if you need any help with anything on Rocket Korean just ask.


Searle does not argue that a machine could not think. According to Searle, "Strong AI" is the idea that machines, given the right formal program, could BE minds that have understanding and other cognitive states. Upon producing such intelligence we could explain these processes of the human mind. Intentionality cannot be reproduced with any formal program and therefore strong AI is false as defined throughout the argument as a program that can produce intelligence. Intentionality [aboutness] and understanding are linked. To understand anything the symbols must stand for something. If a machine does not realize what a symbol is means, it can understand neither the input, the action it is performing on the input, not the output. Biological and mechanical machines can think but only minds can understand. Though not specific, Searle does point to physical-chemical processes for an explanation of the mind. Only machines, built like human brains to function like them, can have the same understanding as the human mind.
There are six replies Searle gives to his argument. In this short section I am going to explain with of them I find most powerful and why. One of Searle's complaints was that no formal program could replicate the intentionality necessary for understanding. I agree that an immovable, perceptionless machine will never be able to fully understand the world without those perceptive senses. The perceptive senses are what is necessary for the construction of semantic meaning. How could one connect the word "hamburger" with and actual hamburger without such connection being presented. A combination of the robot reply and the systems approach is the most powerful at answering this problem.The robot reply includes some of the complexities associated with human intelligence. This argument would have the most potential for something like human understanding as long as the program (as the brain of the system) could be produced to enable the machine to understand its worldly interactions. The robot approach would allow the machine to make contact with objects outside itself and the systems approach to associate the symbols presented to it with the "real world" object.

I had to have some fun today. . . .
so. . . .
I decided to play with my dishes!
Thank you to my MOM and DAD who got me started collecting these beautiful dishes (made in the USA!) They gave me my first set 10 years ago.
In case you don't know, it's FIESTAWARE, made by Homer Laughlin China Co.
I thought you would enjoy this first picture, in which I was too lazy to empty the bowl of cat food. Y
Pretty, isn't it?
The most valuable and collected color is called "medium green" and I have one piece of it, it's the teacup seen here on top of the stack of plates. It's the color of John Deere tractors.
I had a tough time keeping David and Caleb out of the kitchen. Here you can see the top of Caleb's head. He was saying "Oh WOW! WOW! Yellow. . green. . blue. . red. . etc."

I live just about 45min from the Homer Laughlin China Co over here in East Liverpool Ohio. My Mom and Dad have gone on a couple tour of the plant. They said it was very interesting. God Bless

I've know for a while now that you love and collect Fiestaware so when I run across some I usually think of you. I have one red mug in my mug drawer that I have no idea where it came from. I usually say a little prayer for you when I sip my coffee from that mug. The colors are lush!!!!! I'm thinking…."colors for my next quilt!".

Gorgeous! What a colorfest. I have a dark blue Fiesta creamer just since Sunday when my husband's parents gave their children some dishes of their grandmother's. I thought of you when Freeman picked the stack that had that little pitcher on it.

Caleb's sentiments are mine exactly! "OH WOW! WOW!" This is beyond pretty….it's DAZZLING!! I think that the only piece I have was used by my son who let his pet snake curl up in it with for a bath….the Deere green.

I love the pictures-I am actually thinking about starting my own collection. I am due for some new dishes and I love that you can mix so many colors together so they will never go out of style. The colors are so vibrant.

Wow! I don't think I knew how much you had. But you do use it every day… I didn't think you had a tea pot. Is that a new purchase?

i used to collect fiesta ware. my favorite was a yellow pitcher…very similar to your turquise one. when we moved 7 times in 1 year, i downsized….and sold it. my dishes were old. i wasn't aware they still made it. anyway……if you're ever having a bad, sad day, i suggest you feast your eyes on all that happy COLOR! your pictures are always SO CREATIVE and FUN to look at. i LOVED your previous "book" post also!

What beautiful colors! I only have one piece of fiesta ware. It belonged to my grandmother and is a wonderful green colored platter. I love it and use it for all kinds of things. It looks like you have many unique pieces here! What fun. Mommies have to play to, don't they? You are adorable.:)

Okay class – today's word is OBSESSIVE!! Please note the lovely pictures of dishes. Tomorrow we will cover Homeschooling and its affect on the modern woman's psyche.

WOW! That is a pretty impressive collection! I wouldn't want to have to put it all back! LOL! We collect cobalt blue glass here. We like to poke around second hand shops, and we have found a lot of it. Maybe sometime I will take some pictures. I love the way it looks with the sun shining through it.

Ok….so now that I need a big for my drool!!!! Hahaha! Sick I know! But oh, I love, love, LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (did I get enough in that time?!?!?!?!?!) I could have put more for how I REALLY feel about it…but maybe, just maybe that gave you a bit of a taste of how much I LOVE IT! :o) I could look at these pictures forever just trying to see all of the pieces! How fun!!!! Fiesta is my FAVORITE!!! Ok, I'll be quiet now since I honestly could go on for quite some time…but I am thinking I need to go and make my pot of tea (out of my fiesta tea pot) and drink a nice big cup out of my Persimmon ring handle tea cup! :o) Hahaha! Have a wonderful day!

Wow — I love the colors. I can't believe I've never heard of Fiestaware. I like your idea of having a lot of different colors. Very out of the box! So would you set your table with a different color for each person then? What a fun idea!
I think I know what I'm going to add to next year's Christmas list….. 🙂

Gosh, what FUN! All the gorgeous, pretty colors! I thought you had them on the table, then I saw you were in the middle of them…LOL Suz

Is that cherries on the one? never seen FW with a pattern. i like. :)and you're adorable btw.
preachers_wife44 on April 4, 2008 at 1:14 pm said:
My Goodness that is a lot of …..dishes, cups, saucers. Very colorful. Very Pretty. Do you have a seperate set of dishes for your children? If I had a set like that my children could just look at them and they will chip…lol. But that is very pretty. I like that. Take care and God Bless You…

I love Fiestaware. It is so pretty and the colors are so vibrant. We haven't had any new dishes since we got married almost 18 years ago and we don't even have complete sets anymore. I think I would like to get some of these when we buy new dishes.

thanks for sending me to this link!! I had so much fun looking at these pictures… only problem is now I have found something else that I want to spend what little money I have on!! 🙂 They are so festive and cheery… I could use a pick me up like this on a regular basis. I am curious as to where you store it all. How many pieces have you broken? I apparently wasn't "following/stalking" you this long ago… now I might have to spend a few days being nosy into your past posts!! How do you keep track of your posts? how did you know where to find this? I have been wishing I had an easy way to find certain posts that I have done in the past, just curious if you had a solution.thanks for my "hugs" I always need them!!

Lamar Jackson ran away with the Heisman Trophy last season. If you looked past his performance with the Louisville Cardinals, you were left with a pack of uninspiring options.
The same is slowly turning out to be true this year.
After five weeks, Saquon Barkley is starting to separate himself from the rest of the competition.
On Monday, the Las Vegas SuperBook released its latest Heisman Trophy odds with the Penn State star running back leading the way.
Barkley undoubtedly stands as the best player in college football this season. Baker Mayfield is riding his coat tails, though, and sits at impressive 2-1 odds to win the hardware. From there, we have a steep drop to Lamar Jackson at 8-1, and Mason Rudolph at 10-1 round out the list of realistic options.
Sam Darnold is surprisingly included on this list, despite his poor play thus far. After failing to lead USC to a victory over Washington State, his chances of winning the greatest individual award, as well as the chances of getting his team into the College Football Playoff dimmed significantly.
Once considered the odds-on favorite, his inclusion here seems more like a gift than anything else.
All bets are off if Barkley keeps up this level of play. He'll break away from the pack regardless of what anyone else does. Right now, it's his award to lose.
