Federal procurement minister wishes Irving shipbuilding company hadn't threatened reporters
Public Procurement Minister Carla Qualtrough says she wishes Irving hadn't threatened to sue reporters asking for information about the company's shipbuilding contracts, but she did not comment on whether or not she thought its actions were appropriate.
By Lee BerthiaumeThe Canadian Press
Thu., May 30, 2019timer3 min. read
OTTAWA—Canada's federal procurement minister says she wishes the Irving company and its lawyers hadn't threatened to sue reporters asking questions about the company's federal shipbuilding contracts.
And while Public Procurement Minister Carla Qualtrough stopped short Thursday of saying whether the company's actions were appropriate, she said the government is reviewing its policies on divulging journalists' names and other personal information to companies with government contracts.
"We're working on our policies to make sure we do a better job of protecting your privacy while at the same time making sure we get you the information that you need that's accurate," Qualtrough said on the sidelines of the annual Cansec arms-trade show in Ottawa.
Twice in recent months, federal officials have forwarded media questions, the names of reporters and other information to Irving after being asked about aspects of government contracts that had been awarded to the company.
The Globe and Mail says a lawyer for Irving contacted the newspaper Wednesday after it asked the government whether the company had invested in an Alberta french-fry plant to fulfil its reinvestment obligations under a naval shipbuilding contract.
Postmedia reporter David Pugliese says Irving Shipbuilding president Kevin McCoy called him in March after Pugliese contacted the federal government for information about alleged welding problems on one of the ships that Irving is building for the navy.
In both cases, the Globe and Pugliese say their questions and personal information were forwarded to Irving, which warned them it would sue if their stories contained false information about the company or allegations of misconduct.
Irving Shipbuilding spokesman Sean Lewis acknowledged in an emailed statement Thursday that two reporters were recently threatened with legal action, though "only as a last resort."
"We did advise reporters that we would pursue legal action because we knew the reporters had highly inaccurate information that would cause our company, and the reputation of our hardworking employees, considerable reputational damage," Lewis said.
Qualtrough, meanwhile, defended federal officials' approaching the company for information when reporters ask questions as necessary for ensuring accurate and up-to-date answers.
But when asked about the company contacting journalists and threatening lawsuits, Qualtrough said: "Well, I wish they hadn't ... You always have a right to ask those legitimate questions and I prefer not to speculate on the appropriateness.
"It's certainly not a behaviour I would engage in, and I wish there was respect shown to journalists for doing their jobs because these are very complex questions and it's a complex industry. So we need to make sure you get the most information."
The minister sidestepped questions about how the government would address the issue with Irving.
"We don't have a say in necessarily in what our suppliers message," she said. "But our job is to make sure we can always do a better job at respecting your privacy."
Asked for comment on Thursday, the Privacy Commissioner's office confirmed that "we have received a complaint involving (the Department of National Defence) and (Public Services and Procurement Canada) on this matter and that we are looking into it."
Qualtrough also admitted procurement officials have clamped down too hard on companies interested in bidding for defence contracts from speaking to the media about the proposed procurements.
Several companies have privately complained to The Canadian Press in recent months about new rules largely forbidding any discussions with journalists on upcoming projects and competitions, including some involving billions of taxpayer dollars.
"I think we've gone too far on that, to tell you the truth," Qualtrough said. "I actually don't know the origin. I think it was just an incremental, overtime practice that went a little too far and we're going to relax that. And we're looking at doing that. I've directed my department to do that."

Dissensions Regarding the Succession to the Cherra Raj – A typical British Report on a Tribal Kingdom
Posted by ळाळुक in British India, Imperialism, Indian Encyclopedia, Princeley States, Uncategorized
On my arrival at Cherra Poonjee I found that violent dissensions were raging between Rajah Ram Sing, of Cherra Poonjee, and almost all the principal Sirdars of his district. The last Rajah, Soubah Sing, died on the 5th of June 1856, and Rajah Ram Sing, who is the eldest nephew of the deceased, represented to the Principal Assistant Commissioner, that he had succeeded his uncle. The succession was reported to the Supreme Government, and the Right Hon'ble the Governor General in Council was pleased to sanction the succession of Rajah Ram Sing to the Raj of Cherra Poonjee. Rajah Ram Sing, however, had not been elected, according to the custom of the country, by the Heads of the twelve tribes or clans in whom the power of election is vested, and in consequence a great many of the most influential people refused to acknowledge him as the lawful ruler of Cherra Poonjee. As the performance of the funeral ceremonies of the late Rajah, by Rajah Ram Sing, would, according to the usage of the country, have beon conclusive in regard to the succession, the opposition party would not permit the dead body of Soubah Sing to be burnt, and in consequence it was kept in the village for nearly a year. After I had given the Heads of the twelve tribes an assurance that the Government would maintain the just and ancient rights of both parties, the representatives of the twelve tribes withdrew their opposition, and the funeral ceremonies of the late Rajah were celebrated in the usual manner on the 4th of May 1857, without any disturbance.
It is, I think, beyond dispute that Rajah Ram Sing has succeeded to the Cherra Raj in an irregular manner and that he has not been elected, as all his predecessors have been, by the representatives of the twelve tribes or clans, who, by immemorial usage, have the right of election. The local authorities, I think, ought to have taken care that Rajah Ram Sing had been duly elected before they reported his succession for the sanction of Government. As he had been recognized as Chieftain by the Supreme Government, and was not personally disqualified for the office, it appeared to me inexpedient to listen to the request of the representatives of the twelve tribes to be allowed to elect a Chieftain. An election when the passions of both parties were inflamed, and during the critical period of July and August 1857, might have been attended with untoward consequences; under these circumstances I thought it advisable to settle the matter amicably at once. The representatives of the twelve tribes were not unreasonable; they held a durbar, by invitation, at my office. I represented to them that the appointment of Ram Sing had been sanctioned by the Government, and that it was inexpedient to reopen that question, and I gave them an assurance in writing that the succession of Ram Sing should not be taken as a precedent, but that in all future successions the ancient and established usages of the country should be strictly abided by and faithfully observed. With this compromise both parties appeared to be satisfied, and the dispute-regarding the succession has been settled; the result, however, might have been different, had the disputed succession occurred in one of the distant states where the people are more wild and bigoted than those of Cherra Punjee ; the Cossyahs are very touchy about their political rights; and the district officer should see that they are respected. In this instance Rajah Ram Sing was clearly in the wrong throughout; he is a head-strong, arbitrary and unpopular Chieftain, and I took this opportunity of intimating to him quietly that he must not expect the Government to support him in any encroachments on the liberties of his people.

Duke's Big Three might come with issues for Coach K
Joseph Nardone
The Duke Blue Devils will have a trio of talented youngsters trotting about collegiate hardwoods this season. R.J. Barrett, Zion Williamson and Cameron Reddish all come to Durham with hype usually reserved for a Hollywood blockbuster featuring Jason Statham as a zombie saving the world by way of eating sharks or something.
Likely something, but let's not concern ourselves with semantics.
Considering all three players were once projected to play similar positions, as well as the recent history of Wendell Carter's ceiling being disrupted by philosophy, Duke's Big Three might be an issue Coach K will have to overcome this season.
Obviously, it is worth mentioning that it is the best kind of issue to have. Heck, there's honestly no such thing as having too much talent. No one will shed tears over Coach K having to figure out how to utilize three future NBA players at the same time.
If we go one more step, the supposed Wendell Carter issue last season was only that from the prism of NBA Draft stock. The same might apply in this situation. As it is always important to note in these instances, a college coach's job is to win college basketball games. Often, that comes at the expense of a player's ceiling and/or skill set.
Coach K isn't alone having this happen. As an example, just last season another Hall of Fame coach in Tom Izzo struggled to properly utilize Jaren Jackson Jr. Unlike what happened with Carter and the Blue Devils, it can be argued Izzo's misuse of Jackson hurt the Spartans. K's use of Carter, playing sidekick to a high-usage rate player in Marvin Bagley, did not hurt Duke.
Removing the context of the other Duke players is unfair, but focusing on the team's best three natural talents does unveil a few underlying issues Mike Krzyzewski will have to deal with. The biggest of which might be a simple fix, which circles around the idea of having all three players on the floor at the same time.
This issue largely stems from the idea of Zion Williamson. Not what he actually is, as that remains a relative unknown, but how he will function in practice over theory.
The YouTube sensation is a known elite dunker, but lost in the highlight clip shuffle is that he appears to be an undersized big man who is unable to shoot. Williamson is either an incredibly flawed three or four who can't stretch the floor.
So, is Williamson best utilized at the three or four? Well…
Not to tell a Hall of Fame coach what he should do, but Williamson might be best utilized at the five. Maybe that goes against what NBA scouts are hoping, as they'd likely prefer to see him in the combo-forward role, and Williamson might be undersized from a height standpoint, but at the collegiate level his bulk and athleticism will more than make up for it.
Draymond Green he is not. Still, there's little reason to think a dynamic athlete — with the core strength he also features — like Williamson will do anything other than thrive against more stagnant, traditional bigs trotting about the nation.
In turn, this opens up the floor to both Reddish and Barrett — the latter of the two a player who I believe to be a generational talent.
Barrett's biggest question mark heading into his freshman season revolve around his shooting. When you couple that with Williamson's supposed lack of a jumper, Duke could face spacing issues. While those worries do remain, they also seem overblown in regards to Barrett, as he's showcased an improvement in that area over the last 12 months and his stroke projects for consistent development.
With Barrett mostly pegged as a three at 6-foot-7, and Reddish at 6-foot-8 pegged for the same slot, the next issue Coach K has to figure out is what both's roles are when/if they're on the floor at the same time with Williamson.
Last season highlighted how Krzyzewski was willing to play two big men at the same time, though Carter and Bagley were not your traditional large members of the human species, with each possessing the ability to spread the floor on offense. The defensive issues did come with Duke featuring the two big men, especially highlighted in the famed Boston College/pick-and-roll game that essentially forced Coach K to go zone the rest of the season.
Nevertheless, it did give us an example of Coach K being open to playing different kinds of lineups. This begs the question to be asked — would he be willing to play Barrett or Reddish at the four (the other at the three), with Williamson at the five, despite having no one in the lineup over 6-foot-9?
It would likely come at the expense of rim deterrence and a higher rebounding ratio, but there's upside in the intention of being able to switch on all players from the three through five positions.
Without having a sample-size of the three players all on the court together, the above idea clearly falls more into the abstract than the factual counter.
That same caveat can also be dropped on the offensive positives and negatives that come with playing Duke's Big Three at the same time by bestowing the suggested three-through-five positioning.
If Barrett's jumper is indeed improved, Williamson's lack of one is no longer as big an issue. Instead, he can be better employed doing what he projects to do best, which is getting buckets in transition and (mostly) only scoring through the creation of others (here being anyone else on Duke).
In far simpler terms: The Blue Devils might be best off playing the quickest brand of basketball in the Coach K era. Not exactly a Mike D'Antoni 'seven seconds or less' style of hoops, but something more closely resembling the Iowa State Cyclones' system during the Fred Hoiberg era.
Hoiberg's system was one of the first to echo the position-less basketball that's become the norm in the modern NBA. It never fully got there, but as highlighted by having larger talents like Georges Niang and Royce White sometimes running the point, there was the legitimate creation of an unorthodox system during that time.
While laughable on the surface to suggest Coach K takes a playbook out of nearly anyone else's playbook, nevertheless Hoiberg's, the notion of a Blue Devils lineup without steadfast constructs could be ideal.
After all, there's no reason for Krzyzewski to limit his rotation's upside by pigeon holing players to specific parameters.

Ankle Aide
Preventing and recovering from ankle sprains
by Ryan NA Stuart Published: Nov 1, 2005
Alex McKay has the long, easy stride of a natural runner. That should be, "had"—last year. This year, McKay's gait is stiff, with a one-sided limp in his stride.
Last winter, near the end of two back-to-back indoor soccer games, a sudden change of motion ended with McKay on the ground clutching a sprained ankle. Accustomed to the trail, sprinting up and down the gym had shocked and weakened him.
Most of us have felt McKay's pain. The grimace-inducing shock of an ankle rolling further than it's supposed to. The fear of serious damage.
More From Runner's World
"A sprained ankle means one or more ligaments on the outside of your ankle were stretched or torn," says Dr. Liza Grant, a soccer player, runner, and chiropractor. "If it is not treated properly, you could have long-term problems."
Most sprains happen with the toes on the ground and the heel up. This position puts the ligaments of the ankle under tension. A sudden force, like changing direction quickly, can turn the ankle farther than the muscles can support.
The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society says ankle sprains are the most common running injury and one of the hardest to properly recover from. Every year physicians log 1.6 million visits for patients with ankle sprains in the United States, and half of those visitors will resprain their ankle. That's probably because a mild sprain can be rested for a couple days and then ignored. But McKay will tell you that's the wrong attitude.
"I've ignored sprains before, and that's probably why this one is taking so long to heal," he says. "I'm rehabbing this one properly."
Proper rehab means different things for different people, says Dr. Allan Abelson, a rehab therapist, marathoner, and author of Release Your Stride, a guide to improved running performance and injury avoidance. "If I had six people with identical inversion sprains, my treatment might be different for each one, depending on their needs and strengths," he says. "With any injury, including the ankle, I would look at the whole body, the whole kinetic system—flexibility, strength and proprioreceptors. We don't want to look just where it hurts. We want to look at the whole picture."
Sometimes, he says, the sprain is partially the result of a weakness elsewhere in the body, and if that weakness isn't found and corrected, recovery will never be complete. After a thorough examination, Abelson will lay out a plan to get the runner back to trail running form.
As long as the sprain doesn't require surgery (see below), the first step is to go running, but not on the ground. Deep water running can be done even in the acute pain stage.
"A mistake a lot of people make is to not move the ankle for the first few days. A non-impact activity, like deep water running, improves blood flow to the injury and displaces waste products," Abelson explains.
As the ankle starts to heal enough to carry weight, it's time to work on strength and flexibility. Most of the strength work will be done on wobble boards to gain muscle support and exercise the body's proprioreceptors at the same time.
Proprioreceptors are found throughout the body's muscular system. Similar to little nerves, they react to stretching or pulling by telling the brain where a body part is, and what position it's in. The proprioreceptors fire far faster than the eye can relay a message to the brain and the brain to the body, adjusting the body's positioning almost instantly. Simply put, properly trained proprioreceptors can realign the body in the split second before a sprain. Wobble boards safely exercise them to fire faster.
No matter how fast one's proprioreceptors, flexibility and strength recover, it's important to move slowly. Healing should be gradual and continuous. "You don't want to see peaks and valleys," says Abelson. "You always want to see the rehab going progressively forward."
If the body isn't healed properly the first time, it will always be weak and susceptible to future injuries and chronic problems. Proper strengthening lays down different kinds of tissue than the weak scar tissue left behind by an untreated injury. "Tissues laid down without strength training are more susceptible to future injuries," Abelson says. The more someone works out, the more muscle tissue is laid down. Abelson adds, "If you rehab everything properly it shouldn't happen the same way again."
Proper strengthening and flexibility around the joint can help prevent injuries as well, yet there's always the accident factor. Abelson sprained an ankle stepping off a curb when he wasn't paying attention.
McKay knows his injury was no fluke, and he's doing all he can to keep it from happening again. "I would say to any runner: Get your body in shape to reduce the chance of things like sprained ankles. And if you get one, take care of it properly, because there's nothing worse than not being able to run because you ran when you shouldn't have."
Types of Sprains:
1) Mild tear or pull of ligament. Painful but can bear weight. These sprains can usually be self-treated.
2) Larger but incomplete tear of ligament. Pain is more severe and the ankle won't support much weight. It's a good idea to see a doctor.
3) Complete tear of ligament or ligaments. Very painful. Can't touch or move ankle without pain. See a doctor, it may require surgery.
Trace the alphabet - With a heel on the ground, write the alphabet in the air with the big toe. Write as big as possible.
Foot flat rotate knee - Sitting in a chair, keep your foot flat on the ground while rotating each knee separately.
Strength and Proprioreceptor Exercises
Try these exercises sequentially as your ankle recovers. Or use them to strengthen your ankles to ward off sprains in the first place.
Deep water running - Running in the pool is a great way of getting the blood moving through a sore ankle without the impact of running or walking.
One-footed stands - Next to a wall, stand just on the sore leg, holding the wall if needed. When this is comfortable, close your eyes. Repeat.
Stair stepping - Stand facing a stair with the ball of your injured foot on the stair. Rise up on the ball of your foot. It may help to lean against the wall or hold onto the rail. Repeat 10–20 times.
Heel walking - Walk on your heels for about 20 feet, and then on your toes for about 20 feet.
Balance on the wobble board - A wobble board is one of the best recovery tools for sprained ankles, and a good way of strengthening ankles, too. Start by balancing on the board and work up to doing one-legged squats. Works on proprioreceptors and muscle strength. An IT band roller cut in half can be used as a balance tool, too.
Hops - Hop up and down with both feet together 10–20 times. Move on to side-to-side hops with both feet together, and eventually one-footed hops.
Straight line jogging - Restart your running by walking and jogging in intervals. Stay on soft but flat surfaces at first.

As mentioned, the boxes in the "Fit print range(s) to width/height" mode are supposed to be clearable, with special meaning assigned to cleared state.
But since 4.1, clearing them is rejected and previous value gets restored upon exiting the cleared box. So, it's impossible to conveniently utilize the documented functionality (one workaround is to use a huge value for a box that needs to be clear, so that scaling would be determined by value in the other box).

On the Tuesday episode of Smackdown, we saw the debut of the Tye Dillinger. He ended up debuting in a squash match against Curt Hawkins. However, what should WWE do with the perfect 10?
A lot on how WWE books Tye Dillnger will depend on what happens at the superstar shakeup next Monday. I find it highly unlikely that he will go to RAW, so it means he will probably be on Smackdown going further. My idea was for him to get into the Intercontinental title hunt. Right now the IC title is being fought between Dean Ambrose and Baron Corbin. Eventually we will either see Baron Corbin capture the IC belt or they will finally have a blow off to their feud.
I still feel that Baron Corbin will win this feud. There have been reports going around that the WWE wants to push Baron Corbin and make him one of the brands top heels. When he does capture the belt, I don't see why Tye Dillinger should be the next in line. However, he needs to string together a few wins to make this case.
He might get one down the road, but I see the IC title a better spot for him now. I have a lot of hope for the Perfect 10 and hope that WWE doesn't mis book him. Time will tell with the booking of the Perfect 10 to see how WWE feels about him.

Suspected drink driver found asleep in undergrowth after Penzance crash
Police dog Cosmo earned himself a chicken treat

A suspected drink driver was found asleep in hedge after a crash left a car on its side against a telegraph pole near Penzance, police have revealed.
The single-car collision happened on the A3071 at Sancreed, Penzance, at 6.20pm on Saturday (July 18).
A driver had left the scene after the crash in Penzance, with officers bringing in the dogs to track him down - and they found him asleep in undergrowth.
On Twitter, the handler for police dogs Cosmic and Sky said: "A busy shift for us tonight. Cos earned a chicken treat having tracked a drink driver from a crashed car in the Penzance area. Male found sleeping in the undergrowth."
Devon and Cornwall Police have since confirmed that officers and a dog unit carries out a search of the area and a man, aged 30, was found asleep in bushes abut 100 metres away. He was arrested on suspicion of drink driving but first taken to Royal Cornwall Hospital at Treliske to be treated for a head injury.
The vehicle was recovered around 10pm. Western Power also attended to repair the telegraph pole.
A local man, aged 30, was due yo appear at Truro Magistrates' Court today (Monday, July 20).
The forces said: "Trained dogs and their handlers play an important role in our mission to build safer communities.
"We have different breeds of dog undertake different duties. All of our general purpose police dogs are German shepherd dogs, whose duties include: tracking missing people, searching for missing suspects, locating lost or stolen property, chasing and detaining suspects, keeping order in crowd situations."
Some dogs are trained as specialists. These include:
Firearms support dogs
These dogs are some of our general purpose dogs who have additional training, with their handlers, to work with the tactical firearms team. They are often the first to enter and search a building, often with cameras attached to their heads, with the monitor held by a police officer.
Explosives dogs
Many explosives dogs are spaniels, labradors or border collies, and are often working dogs rescued from a shelter. They are trained to search, locate and safely indicate the presence of military, commercial and home-made explosives.

Drugs dogs are usually gun dogs such as german short-haired pointers, labradors and spaniels. Proactive drugs dogs are used to search premises, vehicles and areas for drugs and to let their handlers know when drugs have been found. Passive drugs dogs screen the air around individuals, and are often used at concerts and outside night clubs. As well as detecting drugs, they act as a visible deterrent.


I have been wanting to expand my basic knowledge and techniques for a while now. What has put me off is the price of some of the courses, until I came across these events run by TfGM (Transport for Greater Manchester).
From beginners to intermediate, there should be a date and venue to suit. There are different courses which show and teach you from the very basics like how to ride a bike, to how to adjust your gears or change a cable.
I have put myself on the list for the intermediate course and will add a blog about it, IF I manage to get a place and attend.

C2Y: Discussions on Child and Youth Care
http://c2ypodcast.org/feed.xml
Discussions with, and for, young people, parents and professionals who care about the youth social service system.
Hiring Care, Episode 1: Care Is Not Intuitive
In this episode Wolfgang Vachon says goodbye as host of CYC Podcast. He also talks about the new team taking over the podcast : Vivian Patruno, Salvatore D'Agatstino, and Christopher Cottle; and introduces a new audio drama inquiry called Hiring Care.
What happens when you work in the same system that raised you? Charlotte, a new CYCP "from care", struggles to understand what care means when your lived experience wasn't always full of care.
Hiring Care is an audio drama inquiry created from one-on-one conversations with 10 child and youth care practitioners (CYCPs) "from care" (CYCPfC). Most of the script is verbatim, meaning the words spoken by the actors are (mostly) re-enactments of what CYCPfC said in the conversations. The conversations have been re-arranged and different CYCPfC have been put into relationships with each other, even though they never actually spoke with each other during the recorded conversations. Three of the characters (B, Ellisha, and Terri) are composites of two different people.
Hiring Care is constructed as a conversation between a group of seven CYCPs "from care" (CYCPfC) who are meeting to talk about creating a way to support agencies who want to hire practitioners with child welfare experience. This frame for the structure came out of an idea mentioned by one of the conversationalists (Charlotte), who said she and some of her colleagues "wanted to create a booklet about how to support someone with lived experience in care in your organization, who works for you". Hiring Carehas seven different episodes, each one introduced by a different character and addressing different themes, although there are some overlaps between the different episodes.
While the script follows a chronological order, it is not necessary to listen to them in a particular order. You might find it more relevant to pick specific themes (identified with each episode) and listen to that particular conversation.

A comprehensive approach for the instability of PbTe quantum dots and design of a combinatorial passivation strategy
Hacıefendioğlu, Tuğba
Solmaz, Taha K.
Erkan, Merve
Asil Alptekin, Demet
Limited air stability circumvents the outstanding properties of the PbTe quantum dots (QDs) and hinders its utilization in the field of optoelectronics. In this respect, we present a detailed understanding on the instability of the PbTe QDs and develop a combinatorial passivation protocol based on engineering the QD surface during the growth phase and solid state ligand exchange process. The dual passivation approach yields thin films and solar cells with outstanding stabilities under ambient conditions. Prioritization of the effects of the synthetic conditions with a systematic approach discloses the crucial roles of the size, shape and stabilizing ligand/catalyst concentration on the stability. Our findings show that the stability diminishes beyond a critical size (3.6-3.9 nm) where the shape changes from octahedron to truncated octahedron. We discovered that the catalyst is a major source of the instability and optimization of its concentration leads to the smallest, extremely air stable PbTe QDs with a size less than 2 nm. We illustrate that the mid gap state formation (MGS), indispensable for any ligand exchange processes, can only be inhibited by using QDs whose capacity to withstand the severe conditions of the exchange process is improved by passivating in-situ. In-situ growth phase passivation not only control the shape by dictating the {111}/{200} facet ratio but also controls the ligand exchange rate, packing direction and MGS formation. The combinatorial passivation strategy yields air stable solar cells with a 100% increase in the efficiency and up to a fivefold increase in the short circuit current.

A new empirical many-body potential energy function application to microclusters: elements in B.C.C., F.C.C., and H.C.P. structures
Erkoç, Sevilay (Wiley, 1989-10-1)
A new empirical many‐body potential energy function (PEF) has been proposed recently, and it has been successfully applied to microclusters of various elements. Using the new PEF the microcluster calculations are extended to several elements in b.c.c., f.c.c., and h.c.p. structures.
A NEW EMPIRICAL MANY-BODY POTENTIAL-ENERGY FUNCTION - APPLICATION TO MICROCLUSTERS
Erkoç, Şakir (Wiley, 1989-04-01)
A new empirical many‐body potential energy function is proposed which comprises two‐ and three‐body interactions. The two‐body potential is a kind of hybrid function and the three‐body potential is expressed in terms of the two‐body interactions. The parameters of the potential energy function can be easily evaluated using dimer data and the bulk cohesive energy of the system considered. The proposed potential energy function is parameterized for several elements in f.c.c., b.c.c., and diamond structures an...

Dowdy Doody
Columnist puts on a puppet show
If you're wondering where New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd's extra sensory perception comes from, it just might run in her family. Decades ago, Ellwood P. Dowd believed he spoke to a giant, invisible rabbit named Harvey. Now, Maureen hears words from Congressman Joseph Wilson that she admits he never said, but professes to believe he did anyway.
There are two important differences, though, one being that in the end, Ellwood's companion Harvey actually existed. The same cannot be said of the rhetorical sock puppet Maureen refers to as "Joe Wilson." The other is that Ellwood and his furry friend were good-natured to a fault, even toward those who were openly hostile to them. Maureen's imagination, on the other hand, acts with extreme malice toward those who mean her no harm, but simply disagree with her politics.
In response to the South Carolina Republican's "you lie" outburst during President Obama's address, Dowd wrote, "fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!" She later added, "Wilson clearly did not like being lectured and even rebuked by the brainy black president presiding over the majestic chamber." Clearly, that is, if you heard him say the word that he didn't say.
Under most circumstances, liberals pose as the arbiters of "fairness." That subjectively defined criterion has been the basis for many of their policies, from wealth redistribution to affirmative action, to the "affordable housing" initiatives that caused the subprime mortgage crash. When it comes to a chance to slime one of their political adversaries, however, it is the "fair or not" standard that applies.
So Wilson didn't say "boy," but Dowd attributes it to him anyway, and only fleetingly entertains the thought that her treatment of him might not be fair. No wonder she leaps so eagerly to defend President Obama. The way he declared the officers who arrested Henry Louis Gates to be "stupid," immediately after admitting his own ignorance on the subject, she must consider him to be a kindred spirit.
As for Dowd's other motives, she made those abundantly clear when she wrote, "Take that, infidel swine. Allah Akbar!" Okay, so technically, she didn't write those words in her column, but I can read between the lines, whether there are actually any words there or not. Take, for example, the way that her arrogance shows through at the end of her column. I swear you can hear her say, "There's another one for the time capsule. See what a brilliant mind and a few pints of vermouth can do?"
In the picture of Dowd that appears next to her column, you could just see her saying, "I'm feeling a mite peckish today. I wonder if there are any of those kittens left." Actually, she said it with her eyes, or maybe with her nostrils, but I definitely heard it. What a blunder it was for her to let that slip. Then again, if she were at all discreet, she would never have said, without speaking, "I sure hope the IRS doesn't notice that I haven't filed an income tax return in 25 years."
Last time she was on Meet the Press, the following unspoken words could be heard in the air: "Oooh, that Kim Jong Il. What a stud!" It wasn't so much that she didn't say it, though; it was more in the way she didn't say it.
By browsing the archives of Dowd's column, I was able to tap into a vast reservoir of her unwritten words, such as these:
"Why does this wig have to itch so much?"
"If I DVR Hannah Montana, will that go on my permanent record?"
"What would Joe Stalin do in a situation like this?"
"That's the last time I buy my handcuffs on eBay."
"What do you know? This glue can be used for assembling models, too."
"That's 20 olives in my mouth at once -- a new record!"
"And we know what happens to mailmen who are naughty, don't we?"
"Marge Schott was right."
"That wench Suzanne Somers said that this contraption would work."
"I'd better get those human heads out of the refrigerator before they decompose."
If you want to get really technical about it, Dowd did not in fact write or say any of these things. Nevertheless, I feel that she implied them. Like Joseph Wilson's fictitious "boy" remark, these embellishments may not be fair, but then, who said life was fair? Certainly not Maureen Dowd. Not out loud, anyway.

Pewaukee School District
Opening the door to each child's future.
Facility Master Planning & Referendum
Equity, Sustainability, Future Ready
Honor The Past. Welcome The Future.
As we appreciate the newly renovated spaces and additions to our campus, it is important to look back and "honor the past" as we "welcome the future." Learn all about the Pewaukee School Districts rich history! Go Pirates!
1840 - Asa Clark's House Parlor
After settling in Pewaukee in 1836, Deacon Asa Clark built a spacious white frame house in the Greek Revival style. It was located at the current site of the Wisconsin Shirdi Sai temple on the corner of Prospect and Main. Since school revenue never returned more than 67 cents per child, Asa and wife Naomi, opened their home to hold a neighborhood school. During the winter of 1840, the first class was taught by Miss Mary Williams and held in the Parlor of Asa's home.
1843 - The "Cold Storage Plant"
According to the memoirs of 1917 Pewaukee Board Member Alexander Caldwell, the first official school building was built on the current site of the Pewaukee Public Library in 1843. The small 20x30 feet, one-story frame structure was "built entirely of oak timber, sawed at Asa Clark's Saw Mill" (pictured). Students desks and chairs were also built using timber from the "Pewaukee Lake Mill" (also pictured). The building served as not only a school but a town hall, church, and a place for town social activities. Mr. Waterman was the school's first teacher, earning a whopping $12 a month and receiving room and board by living out one week with each of the student's families!
The structure was later replaced by a stone school in 1858. Students referred to it as the "cold storage plant" known for having an inch of frost on the window panes from November to March.
1884 - Cream City Brick
The year of 1884 was the banner year for the village of Pewaukee. It saw the construction of Pewaukee's first two-story grade and high school, built of Cream City Brick. The total cost was a staggering $7,000 but was worth the investment as more students began to continue their education post 8th grade. Principle Alexander North (pictured) led the four room building that now occupied modern improvements such as a hot air furnace (no more "cold storage plant!") and eventually, electric lighting in 1912.
In 1898, a two-story wing enlarged the school providing an extra two classrooms, assembly room, library, science room, and principal's office for Principal North.
1917 - The Original PHS
After a representative from the Department of Public Instruction condemned the "Cream City Brick" school for overpopulation, a motion was made by the 1917 Board of Education members (pictured) to raise $25,000 to build a new one. Although built in 1917, this same school (remodeled with additions and renovations throughout the years) served Pewaukee students up until it became "Pewaukee Middle School" in 1968. This red brick building is most recognized for being the original Pewaukee High School before the one we know and love today.
1946 - 404 Lake St.
Although the district continued to grow, the Depression and war delayed the building of more schools. In 1946, there was a "critical" shortage of space resulting in the purchase of William Steele's dairy and orchard farmland up the hill. The plot of land was sold for $8,250 and has evolved over time to occupy the four schools that make up our district today (pictured).
The first school to be built at this location was a ten-room elementary school in 1950 (pictured). This building is still a part of PLE today, occupied by the district office as well as 3rd grade classrooms.
1953 - PHS Fire
More construction was needed but a fire at Pewaukee High School on July 13, 1953, caused an even greater shortage of space than anyone could have ever anticipated. Due to old defective wiring, the building suffered $300,000 in damages from the blaze. Superintendent L.E. Houle (3rd man from the left) was ironically due to hold an annual school board meeting that night discussing plans to remodel the high school. The topic now centered around repairing it...
The response to the emergency was inspiring as community members offered their services in any way needed. Volunteers rushed to help firemen save desks, typewriters, file cabinets, and records as the fire swept through the building. With the wholehearted cooperation of the community, school opened just in time for September yet many classes were held in church basements and halls throughout the village. In 1960, Superintendent Houle's initial plan to remodel and enlarge the high school could finally be addressed. Additions to the building included a new gymnasium, band room, larger cafeteria, library, and a modern home economics department.
1968 - THE PHS WE KNOW AND LOVE
In 1964, the board was authorized to buy sixty-four more acres from William Steele adjacent to the elementary school. A modern two-story structure, windowless because of the novel heating system, was dedicated on October 27, 1968. With the construction of the new high school, the previous one down the hill transitioned into "Pewaukee Middle School" until 1985.
The 227,606 square foot PHS we know and love today was once built to occupy only 138,500 square feet. Additions and renovations include the most notable 2012 construction of a new gymnasium and state of the art auditorium. As we honor the past, we are excited to welcome the future plans for Pewaukee High School. Once a windowless design in 1968, the new secure and spacious entrance lobby will now be illuminated by a two-story skylight.
1993 - School Named After Founder
The creation of many new subdivisions in and around Pewaukee warranted the building of yet another school that would teach grades four, five, and six. Although construction began in 1991, there was no consensus as to what to name the school. The PSD Board members at the time decided to hold a competition to see if their Pewaukee students had any ideas.
Some names that were suggested include Lake Horizon School, to represent the lake and the future; Valley Forge School, because that was the name of the historic Steele farm on which the school would be located; Pewaukee Hillview School, due to the view from its site; and Willetta Pewaukee Public School, taken from the name Will and Etta Steele. 13 year-old Frank Dekan (pictured) wrote an essay suggesting that the school be named after Asa Clark, Pewaukee's founder. "Presently there is no public building named after our community's founder and this is a chance to show pride in our history," he wrote. "Asa Clark School" was completed on August 31st, 1993.
As we honor the past, we are excited to share the future plans of Asa Clark Middle School. The 77,760 square foot building will welcome 38,700 additional square feet of classrooms with a state of the art STEAM innovation center. Deacon Asa Clark probably wouldn't believe his eyes if he knew what was in store for his school!
2002 - Intermediate School
The last school to round out the Pewaukee School District's campus opened its doors on September 3, 2002. Horizon Elementary welcomed 475 fourth, fifth, and sixth graders but now houses almost 700 students! The $8.8 million structure includes a dedicated wing per grade level that will shift to occupy third, fourth, and fifth grade in the school year of 2020/21.
The first "wave" of construction here on campus, will present a beautiful gymnasium addition to Horizon Elementary! No more using Asa Clark Middle School's gym for overflow classes!

Thin-film optical strain sensors have the ability to map small deformations with spatial and temporal resolution and do not require electrical interrogation. This paper describes the use of graphene decorated with metallic nanoislands for sensing of tensile deformations of less than 0.04% with a resolution of less than 0.002%. The nanoisland-graphene composite films contain gaps between the nanoislands, which when functionalized with benzenethiolate behave as hot spots for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Mechanical strain increases the sizes of the gaps; this increase attenuates the electric field, and thus attenuates the SERS signal. This compounded, SERS-enhanced "piezoplasmonic" effect can be quantified using a plasmonic gauge factor, and is among the most sensitive mechanical sensors of any type. Since the graphene-nanoisland films are both conductive and optically active, they permit simultaneous electrical stimulation of myoblast cells and optical detection of the strains produced by the cellular contractions.

Q: "Hello world" in C without printf? Is it possible to write a "hello world" program in C without the use of the printf function? (while still keeping the program relatively at a few lines)

A: This should work:
int main (void)
{
    puts("Hello, World!");
    return 0;
}

Why don't you want to use printf? I can't think of any reason not to.

A: Well, if we're going to include silly examples (yes, I'm looking at you, technosauraus), I'd go with:
#include <stdio.h>

void makeItSo (char *str) {
    if (*str == '\0') return;
    makeItSo (str + 1);
    putchar (*str);
}

int main (void) {
    makeItSo ("\ndlrow olleH");
    return 0;
}

Just don't do this for really long strings or you'll find out what Stack Overflow really means :-)

A: write(STDOUT_FILENO, "hello world", strlen("hello world"));

A: This is a ridiculous alternative to just using puts("hello world\n");
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
  char *s="hello world\n";
  while (*s) putchar(*s++);
}

Raspberry Pi cases protect in industrial environments
DIN-rail enclosures from Phoenix Contact make integration of Raspberry Pi-based computing a reality in the industrial environment, says RS Components, as it announces the addition to its portfolio.
The RBI-BC DIN-rail enclosures offer a high level of protection as well as a range of expansion options, enabling Raspberry Pi computers to meet the rigorous demands of the industrial environment, says the distributor.
The range can house the Raspberry Pi model A+, B+, or the Pi 2 and Pi3 Model B boards. They can be used to enable the set-up of several Raspberry Pi computers and I/O modules, which can be connected to the DIN-rail to form a complete system via the HBUS.
There is a large range of expansion possibilities, for example, by adding optional perfboards or individual PCBs, inserted into the same housing as the Raspberry Pi and connected up to the HBUS by using a pin strip connector.
The housing system saves time and offers safe installation due to tool-free mounting on a TS35 DIN-rail, or on a wall via a base latch. The housing also complies with DIN43880 enabling it to be integrated into a distributor housing. Users can connect the GPIO strip to sensors or the power supply with PTSM connectors. The Raspberry Pi's microSD card can also be replaced and backed up, even while still mounted in the system.
The Phoenix Contact portfolio currently offers a range of options, including the complete RPI-BC housing system, which includes a lower housing part for DIN-rail or wall mounting, base latch, upper housing part, housing cover and PCB holder for mounting the Raspberry Pi board.
The lower housing part and upper housing part are also available separately. All the parts are available in light grey polycarbonate with an IP20 rating, and are suitable for operation over the –40 to +105 degree C range.
The distributor also offers a range of RPI-BC accessories from Phoenix Contact, including adapters and socket and pin strips for connecting up perfboards and compatible PCBs.

Do you find yourself getting sick after eating pasta, bread, crackers, and other grains? Well, you may be a candidate for gluten intolerance. Gluten is the protein found in wheat, rye and barley and is the culprit of the gluten intolerance symptoms. If the symptoms are only mild, not much damage will be done by eating gluten-containing foods, but if the intolerance is severe, you will most likely be diagnosed with Celiac's Disease. Dealing with this type of intolerance is very difficult because grains are very difficult to avoid. So, do you really have the symptoms of glucose intolerance, or is it something else entirely? Do you need to start watching your gluten intake? What foods can you eat if it is gluten intolerance? This article will answer those questions for you.
The more serious form of gluten intolerance, Celiac Disease, is often genetic and can be very serious. What happens is that the body recognizes gluten as something bad, so the immune system attacks it. When the gluten reaches the small intestine, the immune system will damage the intestine's villi, which are responsible for absorbing nutrients in food. If these are damaged, they can't perform their job very effectively and many nutrients will be lost or wasted. Unfortunately, this can lead to other conditions, such as anemia, osteoporosis, depression, behavioral problems and stunted growth in children.
Other symptoms of gluten intolerance include nutritional deficiencies. This is due to the malabsorption of certain nutrients in the small intestine.
Once it is clear that your symptoms are definitely caused by gluten intolerance, your doctor or a nutritionist will recommend that you completely avoid gluten. This will take a lot of learning because gluten is present in many foods, even in some unsuspecting ones. This latter bunch includes salad dressings, cold cuts, egg substitutes, beer, instant flavored rice mixes, flavored potato chips, imitation crab meat, some herbal teas, and licorice. However, the gluten in these not-so-obvious foods is not limited to this list; it is important to check all food labels. Making a diet plan with your doctor or nutritionist will help make this condition more manageable because he or she will know exactly what to do. There are gluten-free products available as well.
