Ireland INC hosted a roundtable with US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross and Irish business representatives in Washington.
Ireland INC, the forum connecting Irish and US business, hosted a roundtable in Washington with United States Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. Convened by Ireland INC President Ian Hyland, the meeting brought together representatives from across the full breadth of the Irish business community including Martin Shanahan CEO IDA, Julie Sinnamon CEO Enterprise Ireland and Danny McCoy CEO Ibec.
Formerly a major investor in Bank of Ireland, Secretary Ross has a deep understanding of Ireland and the Irish economy in the context of both the private and public sector.
Secretary Ross and the Irish party discussed business ties between US and Ireland and more specifically, the footprint and future of Irish investment in the United States.
At the conclusion of the meeting Ireland INC extended an invitation to Secretary Ross to visit Dublin with a view to continuing dialogue and and discussing outputs arising from the meeting.
The meeting followed the eighth annual Ireland Day on the New York Stock Exchange.

Before you launch a mission, individually or corporately, within your personal life or your business life (is there a difference?) you would do well to understand your motivations. What is driving you? Why is it important?
As we launched our new brand last week we had the opportunity to gather 75 of our team members in brokerage, project management and development and investment to get ready for 2016. We started the conference with a discussion around what we hope is the core of our company and what we believe is the truest and most powerful motivator in our lives.
Hope you enjoy (how can you not when you have Peter Sellers, Chuck Norris and Will Ferrell in a speech).
Grateful for all of our customers, associates and partners.

With the NHL season now in the distant past (relatively speaking), but next season still months away, as hockey fans we find ourselves mired in the most boring part of the season, the offseason. To help kill time during the offseason, we will bring you some classic NHL moments that we are taking a look back on, just because we are fans of the game. With such a great sport, played by great people over the course of a century, we certainly will not be short of great moments. Let's get to it.
It was Game 6 of the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals which pitted the then Mighty Ducks of Anaheim against the New Jersey Devils. As the teams took to the ice, the Mighty Ducks were in a must-win situation, as they trailed 3-2 in the series. A concern from Mighty Ducks fans heading into the game was "we need more scoring from Paul Kariya." The Mighty Ducks captain was struggling to score, but in a pregame interview, noted the fact that he himself would like to see more goals go in. With 13:44 left in the second period, and the Mighty Ducks leading 3-1, Kariya made a pass through the neutral zone, and a second later, was absolutely leveled by Devils captain Scott Stevens. Stevens was an easy selection to the Hall of Fame, and at this point in his career, had made a living DESTROYING those who chose to skate through the open ice with their heads down, and Kariya was no exception. The hit left Kariya unconscious at center ice, and he appeared to not be breathing for a moment. After lying motionless on the ice for a few seconds, it was as if his body snapped back into it and Kariya let out a big exhale which you could see hit his visor. The doctors attended to Kariya and helped him slowly off the ice and into the locker room and presumably to the hospital.
After returning to play, with just under three minutes left in that second period, Kariya took a neutral zone pass, skated over the very spot where only a few minutes ago he was lying unconscious, crossed the blue line and wound up for a slap shot. From a good distance away, Kariya absolutely blasted a perfect slap shot and blew it by future first ballot Hall of Fame goalie Martin Brodeur, and the crowd erupted. With one of the best calls of his career, all-time great ESPN commentator Gary Thorne called the play: "SCOREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! OFF THE FLOOR, ON THE BOARD! Paul Kariya!!!".
The Mighty Ducks went on to force game seven, but ultimately lost in New Jersey in that seventh game. However, to any lifelong hockey fan, this was still one of those moments that epitomizes the sport of hockey and the players that play it.

Vegan Fashion: A Market Trend On The Rise
By fashionabc - September 2, 2020
Vegan In Fashion: A Market Trend On The Rise
Veganism has become a market trend in recent years and the fashion and beauty industry has moved quickly to join the movement. According to data from analytics firm Edited, the US, UK, Germany and France are the countries investing the most in the vegan market. When it comes to launching vegan products on the market, no sector is moving faster than beauty: of all the new vegan items launched in the UK last year, 82 percent of them belonged to the beauty category. The luxury sector has a long way to go, though most well-known brands are starting to embrace the veganism mantra banning fur and exotic skin.
Vegans are shopping for cruelty-free cosmetics and spearheading the demand for alternatives to leathers, wool, silk and skins. Now an essential and growing market for fashion and beauty retailers to cater to.
Since 2018, continued growth has been noted in the US and UK. By the end of January, there was a 43% YoY increase in products described as 'vegan' stocked in the UK. In the US, this grew by 64%. According to last year's Mintel research, the UK overtook Germany as the world leader for vegan food launches. A major market for cruelty-free fashion in its own right, the number of vegan products retailing online in Germany has grown 95% since 2018.
France had a 12 percent growth, but Paris' commitment to become the capital of sustainable fashion by 2024 may increase the offering of vegan products. Another country to keep an eye on is Denmark, which has seen a 320 percent increase in products described as vegan, according to Edited.
The Beauty Industry Leads The Way
Under the ongoing consumer demand for cruelty-free products in the cosmetics industry, beauty vegan products surmount all other categories. Of vegan products available online at the end of January, the beauty sector makes up 66% in the US and 69% in the UK.
There is considerable growth in vegan-friendly footwear and accessories across both of these regions, with retailers investing in cruelty-free alternatives to leather and suede. The number of shoes available described as 'vegan' increased by 27% YoY in the US and 36% in the UK.
"Throughout January, mass market retailers such as New Look and Lulu's incorporated vegan-friendly materials in their new season arrivals. 2019 saw Veja release its first vegan sneaker, a style that will be a focus of further sustainable innovation throughout the year. Contributing to Veganuary, the brand was spotlighted in communications across both luxury and mass retailers stocking the label," Edited stated in their report.
Luxury Brands Lag Behind The Vegan Trend
Designers such as Gucci, Chanel, Burberry, Versace and Victoria Beckham have vowed to keep their catwalks fur-free. This cohort sets an example for the rest of the luxury fashion industry to follow. In the US, there is already a 36% YoY decline of women's fur arrivals over the past three months.
Leather and skins are still prominent in the luxury market, synonymous with designers such as Hermes and Louis Vuitton who have built their legacy on leather goods.
Furthermore, Edited analyzed womenswear luxury products currently in stock in the US and UK market described as 'vegan', 'non-leather', 'faux leather' and iterations of. These alternatives make up only 2.3% of women's leather goods for luxury brands and are driven predominantly by Stella McCartney, who has offered cruelty-free options from brand inception.
While pure leather continues to be big business in the luxury market, contemporary luxe brands such as Nanushka are providing customers with high-quality vegan leather alternatives.
Likewise, Edited mentions the implications of animal cruelty in the production of silk. While vegan silk isn't yet as mainstream as vegan leather, cruelty-free alternatives to conventional silk are starting to gain traction. Peace silk is woven from cocoons of the already hatched moth. However, there is currently no certification to guarantee the standard of this alternative. In the US, brands such as Stine Goya and Mother of Pearl are stocking products described as containing peace silk. On a further area of innovation, Stella McCartney is among those experimenting with plant-based silks, while startups such as Cocoon Biotech and Spintex Engineering are working with recycled silks.

Deep Oil Plays in Po Valley:
Deformation and Hydrocarbon Generation in a Deformed Foreland*
M. Bello1 and R. Fantoni1
*Adapted from an extended abstract of presentation at AAPG Hedberg Conference, "Deformation History, Fluid Flow Reconstruction and Reservoir Appraisal in Foreland Fold and Thrust Belts," May 14-18, 2002, Palermo – Mondello (Sicily, Italy).
1ENI – AGIP Division, Via Emilia 1 - 20097 San Donato Milanese (Milano) Italy
In the western Po Valley, more than 5,000 meters deep, few gas and condensate fields are present in alpine compressional structures (Malossa type). Oil fields are found in Mesozoic extensional structures (Villafortuna-Trecate type); both these petroleum systems consist of Triassic reservoir and source rocks.
Po Valley oil plays in the Mesozoic series were first investigated in the early seventies with Valle Salimbene 1 well and the Malossa gas and condensate field discovery (Vaghi et al., 1979; Errico et al., 1979; Mattavelli and Margarucci, 1992). While the Alpine compressive structures were being explored (S. Bartolomeo, Seregna and Canonica oil discoveries), in the western Po Valley, a new exploration play was defined in the Mesozoic extensional structures only gently deformed during the alpine orogeny. The discoveries in this play occurred during the eighties with the Gaggiano (Schlumberger, ed., 1987; Bongiorni, 1987) and Villafortuna-Trecate oil fields, located respectively southwest and west of Milan (Figure 1).
The Malossa field has produced 30 Mbbls of condensate and more than 5000 x 103 MSTm3 of gas (from a reservoir 5300 meters deep). The Villafortuna-Trecate field, at the end of 2000, had produced 188 Mbbls of oil and more than 2000 MSTm3 of gas (from two reservoirs, 5700 and 6300 metres deep, respectively).
This work aims to prove that these plays may be pursued in some uninvestigated structures involved in the external part of the Apennines chain.

Figure 3. Geological cross section across the Po Valley from the Southern Alps to the Northern Apennine (Emilian arc).
Geological Setting
The Po valley subsurface framework resulted from a Mesozoic extensional tectonic phase, developed in the western Tethys realm, followed mainly by Tertiary collisional tectonic phases (Figure 1).
Sedimentation started during the Lower Triassic with continental to paralic siliciclastics, followed by a Middle Triassic carbonate depositional system, articulated in platforms and intra-platform basins filled with mixed siliciclastics and carbonate sediments. The Upper Triassic-Jurassic extensional phases caused the maximum deepening and widening of the north-south-trending pelagic basins (Bertotti et al.; 1993; Sarti et al., 1993). During the alpine orogenic phases, which began at the end of the Cretaceous, the Po Valley represented the foreland of the Southern Alps (Figure 1). Since then the foreland dipped northward and was progressively involved in south-verging compressional structures. The deformation involved the Mesozoic carbonates and the overlying syntectonic Tertiary siliciclastics. During the Pliocene and Quaternary, after the last South-alpine tectonic phase, the area was involved only in the Apennines deformation, which produced the southward dip of the entire foreland (see geological sections in Pieri and Groppi, 1981; Cassano et al., 1986).
Malossa and Villafortuna-Trecate Plays
From a structural point of view these plays are the expression of the interference between a first extentional stage, which occurred in Late Triassic-Early Jurassic, and a later compressive stage (Late Cretaceous- Miocene).
Malossa field is located in the central sector of the Po Plain (Figure 1). Tectonic relief (structure) related to the Mesozoic extensional phase and passively involved with a SW-verging alpine compressive structure represents the trap. The structural closure is related to the last compressive tectonic event. The petroleum system consists of a Liassic reservoir made up of carbonate platform dolomite (Zandobbio Dolomite) and by Norian-Rhaetian, mainly terrigenous source rock (Aralata Group and Riva di Solto Shale). The source rock is characterised by a type II kerogen, and the Source Potential Index of this source rock series is evaluated in more than 3 t HC/m3. The Jurassic calcareous-marly rocks of the Medolo Group provide the seal.
The trap of Villafortuna-Trecate field consists of an alpine compressional structure involving a pre-existing Mesozoic extensional relief (structure). The structural high of the Mesozoic carbonate succession has 3,000 metres elevation and is bordered by an alpine N-verging high angle fault, trending SSW (Figures 1 and 2). Mesozoic extensional features are present within this alpine multi-kilometric structure; these consist of blocks of a different hierarchical order, rotated and bordered by faults trending NNW that provide the structural vertical closure. The petroleum system is wholly developed inside a Triassic depositional sequence: two reservoirs, made of dolomitized carbonate platforms rocks (Monte San Giorgio Dolomite [Anisian]; Dolomia Principale, Campo dei Fiori Dolomite and Conchodon Dolomite [Norian-Rhaetian]) and the source rock deposited in an anoxic intra-platform basins. The hydrocarbons were produced from Middle Triassic source rock formations (Besano Shales and Meride Limestone) which lie inside the Villafortuna-Trecate structure. The Source Potential Index of the Middle Triassic source rock series is calculated in about 4 t HC/m3.
New Plays in the External Part of the Northern-Apennines Chain
The Mesozoic carbonate foreland units at the northern Apennine margin of the Po Valley have not been investigated until now. The hydrocarbon potential and the exploratory risk of the area were recently revaluated. The new interpretation, based first on a detailed structural analysis, highlights the presence of wide compressional structures at the southern margin of the Po Valley foreland (Ripalta deep and Asti nord plays--Figure 1).
Both structures are located below the more external structural domains of the Northern Appennines. They consist of a multi-kilometric North-verging structures involving the foreland carbonate succession. The deformation geometries are characterised by thrusting of the inner part of the belt on a parautochthonous foreland (Figure 2). They are ramp anticlines with short forelimbs, flat crestal domains and long backlimbs. The consistency of the geological interpretations was tested by balancing and restoring representative sections obtained from depth converted regional seismic profiles. The kinematic reconstruction of the geological evolution provided the deformation and the source rock burial history from the Mesozoic tectonic setting to the present-day arrangement and allowed us to perform hydrocarbon-generation modelling.
The comparison between the tectonic and hydrocarbon generation history permitted us to establish that these structures are related to Messinian-Lower Pliocene tectonic events and that they precede the age of hydrocarbon generation and expulsion from the source rocks present in the drainage area.
The Asti nord play (Figures 1 and 2 [section B-B']) could have a petroleum system similar to Villafortuna-Trecate and could drain a portion of the hydrocarbons produced in the regional synclines interposed between these structures and Villafortuna-Trecate fields.
The Ripalta deep play (Figures 1 and 3) is located in the central Po valley just south of Malossa field, and due to the N-S trend of the Mesozoic feature the petroleum system is expected to be similar to the Malossa system.

Belarus to take part in Armenia Expo 2021
MINSK, 9 September (BelTA) – Belarus will take part in Armenia Expo 2021 with a Made in Belarus exposition. The event in Yerevan will be running from 16 to 18 September, BelTA learned from the website of the Belinterexpo exhibition enterprise at the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The Made in Belarus exposition will feature 11 Belarusian manufacturers that will exhibit the best latest products adapted to the preferences and needs of Armenian consumers.
The Belarusian food industry concern Belgospishcheprom will have the largest stand featuring well-known Belarusian brands: Slodych and Kommunarka confectionery factories, Slutsk Sugar Mill, and Minsk Kristall Group, Belarus' largest producer of alcoholic beverages in Belarus.
The Belarusian dairy industry will be represented by Slutsk Cheese-Making Plant and Kalinkovichi Dairy Plant. "Slutsk Cheese-Making Plant is the second largest dairy in Belarus. The company will showcase cheeses, milk powder and butter under the Yas Belous trademark. These types of Belarusian products are traditionally in demand in the Caucasus region. In 2020, they, along with cream and cottage cheese, prevailed in the Belarusian export to Armenia," Belinterexpo said.
The products of Kalinkovichi Dairy Plant are familiar to consumers in the CIS countries, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. In Armenia, the company will present skimmed milk powder, whole powder, butter, dry whey, hard and semi-hard cheeses under the Kalinka trademark.
The Made in Belarus exposition will also feature manufacturers of farm machines. For example, Gomselmash is one of the world's leading producers of combine harvesters and other sophisticated agricultural machines. Two Palesse harvesters have been working on the fields of Armenia since last year.
Grodnooblselkhoztechnika, a major manufacturer of agricultural machinery in Belarus, will take part in the expo too. It incorporates 12 enterprises producing tillage, fodder harvesting, post-harvest handling equipment, and milking systems. Its products sell into Lithuania, Ukraine, Georgia, Russia.
The exposition will also feature Gomel Electromechanical Plant. For more than 20 years, the company has been producing locomotives and rolling stock, and other complex systems.
"In 2021 Belarusian exporters took part in Expo Food & Drinks in Yerevan in May. Then the Belarus - Taste of Nature exposition brought together seven enterprises of the food industry," the exhibition company added.
The organizer of the Made in Belarus exposition is Belinterexpo at the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The event will be held with the support of the Embassy of Belarus in Armenia.

HEALTH ECONOMICS BLOG - Trends, Politics, Opinions etc. in biotech & pharma industry
Health Economics and HTA and its role in pricing and reimbursement, pipeline and in-lisencing evaluations as well as portfolio and company valuations in the biotech and pharmaceutical sector is ever increasing. While I was searching the web for various news on the topic, I actually couldn't find a blog that offers a platform of exchange among professionals in this field around the various topics - so there we go now and I hope you enjoy the information... Cheers Ulf
Health Economics to move up on the agenda of biotech and pharmaceutical executives
Folks, there is no doubt that 2008 will see increasing demand for health economics in biotechnology and pharma industry - see SCRIP article (below). I guess the trick will be to start early (small companies will have to beef up capabilities) to also facilitate the predicted increase in deal making between biotech and pharma with relevant health economic intelligence.
My best wishes for the holiday season to all readers of the blog!
"A Christmas wish-list for pharmaceutical CEOs
December 19, 2007 Scrip
The past 12 months have been difficult for the industry, with health economic assessments of products becoming more rigorous, substantial job cuts and a sustained attack on intellectual property protection. So chief executives everywhere could probably think of a number of Christmas presents they would like to lighten their mood.
For most, a ream of data showing the outstanding cost benefits of their latest launched product would be just the thing. In today's increasingly cost-conscious world, it is not sufficient to have a product that reduces cholesterol dramatically or purges the body of a pathogenic virus. It is necessary, indeed vital, that these beneficial effects should be exerted in such a way that the cost of the therapy is much lower than alternative treatments.
Another welcome gift for any CEO would be a painless way of reducing costs throughout the company. The past 12 months have seen numerous firms tackling the unpleasant job of cutting jobs. They include some major players: Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline and Amgen.
A more joined-up approach from politicians would also brighten up a CEO's Christmas. On the one hand chief executives are feted by government officials keen to have research and manufacturing facilities sited in their neck of the woods, but on the other they they are castigated by others for helping to push up the nation's healthcare costs.
...in the thick of it
In the next 12 months, there a number of therapeutic areas where CEOs would like to be in the thick of the action. These include thrombopoiesis and the prevention of thromboembolism. Indeed some companies have already embarked upon this path.
Amgen's romiplostim and GlaxoSmithKline's eltrombopag (Promacta/Revolade) are thrombopoietics which are nearing the market, while new products approaching approval that could compete with low molecular weight heparins include Bayer/Johnson & Johnson's rivaroxaban and Boehringer Ingelheim's dabigatran. Lilly's prasugrel is nearing launch as a potential competitor to the blockbuster clopidogrel.
A well-placed investment in biologic agents would similarly not go amiss. Antibody therapeutics continue to be a must-have for the modern pharmaceutical group, a point not missed by some Japanese firms. Eisai recently bought Morphotek, Astellas acquired Agensys, and Takeda announced plans to set up a new US subsidiary to conduct research on therapeutic antibodies.
...a worthy successor?
One area where a CEO probably does not need Christmas largesse is in the appointment of a successor. Numerous "CEOs in waiting" have been named over the past few months. These include Severin Schwan, the head of Roche's diagnostic division, who will succeed Dr Franz Humer as CEO of Roche in March 2008 (although Dr Humer will stay on as chairman), Andrew Witty, who will succeed Dr Jean-Pierre Garnier as CEO of GlaxoSmithKline next May, and Bernard Poussot, who becomes CEO of Wyeth at the beginning of 2008, with Robert Essner staying on as chairman for a transitional period.
Lilly has just announced that Sidney Taurel, its chairman and CEO, will retire next March, with Dr John Lechleiter, currently president and chief operating officer, becoming president and CEO on April 1st. And Shire Pharmaceuticals has reported that Matthew Emmens will step up to the chairmanship next June, with Angus Russell, currently chief financial officer, becoming CEO.
So whatever 2008 brings for these new incumbents, I would like to wish all of them, and of course the readers of Scrip, a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
John Davis"

Making a brand new bedroom out of a garage is generally not a hard thing to do. It does require a good amount of planning, the proper tools and materials, and the appropriate budget to pull this project off. Here's how you can do it. Read ON!
There's always a time when you have two or more guests staying over at your house for a couple of days. But the thing is, you don't have enough rooms to accommodate all of them. Luckily for you, did you know that you can convert your unused garage into a brand new spare bedroom?
If you're constantly running out of space, you can repurpose your garage (currently used for only piling up junk!) and convert it into a brand new bedroom, suitable for both your family members and your guests.
Converting a garage into a brand new bedroom is relatively cheap and easy. Here's how to do it.
Know that not all garages can be remodeled into a brand new bedroom. Some might be too old, some might have low build quality, and some could be asbestos ridden. But if your garage was built professionally and is still structurally sound, you can remodel it into a new bedroom with very little fuss. It's best if you ask your home architect to check if your garage is suitable for remodeling or not.
You have to understand the practicalities of your garage remodeling project before starting it.
Know that garages are not built on the same level as your house so you may need to make adjustments. This could entail you needing to lower or raise floors or ceilings just to make your new bedroom be in line with your entire house.
At the very least, you'll most likely need a garage door replacement, or the big garage door could also be removed entirely and replaced with matching windows and bricks. Make sure that you get the right materials that blend in the rest of your home.
Your new bedroom will also probably need proper heating and insulation since most garages don't already have this.
You also need to think about the plumbing, the lighting, and the security of your new bedroom.
This should help you understand what must be done in order to transform your garage into a comfortable living space.
The next thing to check off your list is securing the required permits. In most countries, you need to secure the required permits from the city government before you can start any home construction or renovation project. Although the project can be done on the sly, turning your garage into a bedroom should be done legally to avoid any problems later on.
Do you want to install a new door? If so, where should you place it?
Do you want to add extra windows? If so, where is the best place to install them?
How should the new bedroom be heated?
How should you insulate the new bedroom?
What lighting should you choose?
Do you want to add a bathroom?
What other features do you want to add to it?
You should be able to make a clear plan for your garage remodeling project by asking these questions to yourself. Creating a plan is very important as it will allow you to save money, time, and effort as the project starts.
Once a plan has been created, it's time that you start the project. If you have an integral garage, the project should be quick and simple. A competent do-it-yourselfer could even do it. But if you need to make some structural changes to your garage, it's best if you leave the job to a professional.
To make your new bedroom usable all-year round, you must insulate it properly, especially if you are living in a colder climate. It's best if you stick with the type of insulation you've used for the rest of your home for your new bedroom space.
Once your new bedroom space is properly insulated, it is time for you to hang the drywall inside. Make sure that the drywall is taped properly so that you won't have a hard time when you sand it and add the primer on it later on.
Be sure to lay down a couple of layers of primer on the walls of your new bedroom space first before adding any decorative trim over it. Remember to let the primer dry first though, before adding your desired decorative trim.
If you want to lay down carpets in your new bedroom space, you might want to put padding on the garage floor first. Garage floors are known to be cold and hard. Putting down padding first over a garage floor will give cushion to the floor and helps in insulating the room as well.
You may also stick with the type of flooring you have for the rest of your house for your new bedroom space if you want the new room to blend in with the rest of the house.
Once everything is done, it is time to decorate your new bedroom space. Place the furniture you want inside the new bedroom. Take note of the door and window placement though when placing the bed, chairs, tables and other sorts of furniture. Finally, add a personal touch to the new bedroom to make it a comfortable living space.
Since a garage already has walls, a roof, and a foundation, turning it into a brand new bedroom may not cost you a lot. Making use of the existing structure will lessen the costs significantly. On average, a garage to bedroom conversion project costs as low as $3,000 to as much as $30,000, depending on the features you want to add. It can even go high as $50,000 if there are some structural changes needed to be done.
Making a brand new bedroom out of a garage is generally not a hard thing to do. It does require a good amount of planning, the proper tools and materials, and the appropriate budget to pull this project off. Just remember not to rush the project if you want to get your desired new bedroom space.

Schreiben Sie den ersten Kommentar zu "Reliability and Risk Analysis".
Analysis of reliability and risk is an important and integral part of planning, construction and operation of all technical systems. To be able to perform such analyses systematically and scientifically, there is usually a need for special methods and models. This book presents the most important of these. Particular emphasis has been placed on the ideas and the motivation for the use of the various methods and models. It has been an objective to compile a book which provides practising engineers and engineering graduates with the concepts and basic techniques for evaluating reliability and risk. It is hoped that the material presented will make them so familiar with the subject that they can carry out various types of analyses themselves and understand and make use of the more detailed applications and additional material which is available in the journals and publications associated with their own discipline. It has also been an objective to put reliability and risk analyses in context - how such analyses should be used in design and operation of components and systems. The material presented is modern and a large part of the book is at research level. The book focuses on analysis of repairable systems, not only non-repairable systems which have traditionally been given most attention in textbooks on reliability theory. Since most real-life systems are repairable, methods for analysing repairable systems are an important area of research. The book presents general methods, with most applications taken from offshore petro- leum activities.

MormonLeaks: LDS Church controls billions of dollars in investment funds
Posted 5:39 pm, May 30, 2018, by Max Roth
SALT LAKE CITY -- The website MormonLeaks released the results of its own investigation into investments controlled by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, showing more than $32 billion held in 13 separate funds.
Fox 13 confirmed the numbers from the MormonLeaks report, but did not include one of the investment funds because it hasn't filed forms with the SEC in two years, suggesting the fund may no longer be active.
The LDS Church press office referred Fox 13 to a statement and a series of questions and answers posted on the church's official press website, mormonnewsroom.org.
Part of the statement, from Presiding Bishop Gerald Causse, talks about the similarity between the LDS approach to church-wide finances and their teaching about family budgets. In each they emphasize saving and building wealth for the future.
"In addition to food and emergency supplies, the Church also sets aside funds each year for future needs. These funds are added to Church reserves, which include stocks and bonds, taxable businesses, agricultural interests and commercial and residential property," Causse said in the published statement.
MormonLeaks linked the investment funds to the church by finding a number of internet domain names owned by Intellectual Reserve, the LDS Church's intellectual property arm.
MormonLeaks also said they also used an old church employee directory and found the names of the registered business managers in the federal filings were the same as names of employees of the LDS Church who served in finance-related positions.
Fox 13 was able to confirm the federal filings and internet domain names, but did not have access to an employee directory.
It's hard to compare finances of different churches because their governing structures and levels of transparency differ widely, but some publicly disclosed investment amounts provide perspective.
In 2012, the Vatican bank disclosed assets amounting to about $7.5 billion.
The largest protestant denomination in the United States, the Southern Baptist Convention, provides a public financial report that includes cash and investments totaling just over $20 million.
Both the Southern Baptists and Catholic Church have far larger annual operating revenue than the LDS Church, but the cash tends to flow through without an emphasis on investment.
The Southern Baptist Convention is non-hierarchical affiliation of churches sharing beliefs, but governed locally with churches operating on separate budgets.
The Catholic Church is hierarchical and may be the wealthiest organization in the world in terms of property ownership, but it also venerates the poor and views wealth cautiously as a potential stumbling block.

Familial antiphospholipid syndrome; Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome; Lupus anticoagulant, familial;
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder. Signs and symptoms vary, but may include blood clots, miscarriage, rash, chronic headaches, dementia, and seizures.[1] APS occurs when your body's immune system makes antibodies that attack phospholipids. Phospholipids are a type of fat found in all living cells, including blood cells and the lining of blood vessels. Most cases of APS occur in people with no family history of the disorder, however there are rare cases of APS clustering in a family. A widely accepted explanation for APS is that it is caused by a combination of gene mutations (making one more susceptible to APS) and an environmental exposure (such as to a virus). Currently there is not a cure for APS. The goal of treatment is to prevent blood clots from forming and to keep existing clots from getting larger.[2][3][4]

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder. It occurs when your body's immune system makes antibodies that attack phospholipids (a type of fat found in living cells). The exact reason for this is not known. While APS is not passed through families in a predictable pattern, genetics are thought to play a role. A widely accepted explanation for APS is that it is caused by a combination of gene mutations (making one more susceptible to APS) and an environmental exposure (such as a viral infection).[2][3][4]
Research has found a few gene changes that occur in people with APS, however the contribution of these genetic changes to the development of the condition is unclear.[5] Little is known about specific environmental triggers. Known risk factors include female sex and having other autoimmune-type disorders (such as Lupus).[4]
Some people have APS antibodies, but have no signs or symptoms. These people are also at an increased risk for APS. In these cases, APS symptoms (for example blood clots) can be triggered by smoking, prolonged bed rest, pregnancy and the postpartum period, birth control pills, hormone therapy, cancer, and kidney disease.[3]

In July, popular Los Angeles DJ/producer Gaslamp Killer was almost killed when his scooter flipped and landed on him, dragging him downhill and causing massive internal bleeding. Doctors told the musician that he was three hours away from dying and the accident led to a removal of the Brainfeeder producer's spleen. Ever since, GLK has been laying low, recovering in his home and working on music "just for fun."
Before giving us a tour of his record collection on Crate Diggers, Gaslamp Killer gave us an update on his health, new music and his changed outlook on life.
Most people haven't heard from you since the accident. Can you give us an update on how you've been feeling?
I have had good family and friends hanging around helping me. I've been spending a lot of time resting, meditating, praying, taking walks around Mt. Washington. I've been recording a lot of new music. I've been spending time with the closest people to me. I'm just trying to heal and be in a positive mental state while healing.
There was a minute there where I was getting really upset that I was missing out on all the summer activities and shows. But I've come to a place where I'm super grateful for my life and I'm feeling like this is an opportunity for me to start anew and be a better human being. Stronger. More present. More conscious. More aware of myself, my energy, my physical body as well as my spiritual, mental and emotional health. And I appreciate all my fans who reached out. The outpouring of love has been fantastic and I'm super grateful and blessed.
Does your health improve every day or is it more ups and downs?
It goes up and down. Right now, I've been very active and it's been real hard on me. I went swimming at Flying Lotus' house yesterday and my body hasn't been used to using my core at all. Walking is the most exercise I've done. Swimming is a whole other world because I'm using my core and that's what hurts the worst. It's been a tough road, but I'm finding a lot of positives out of all this.
What sort of physical therapy did the doctors prescribe?
I went into a trauma center and they saved my life, but let me go with zero information. I've had nobody looking out for me and I've had to do all my own research online. I've talked to a few people who have been through similar things and have helped me gain some insight. But I'm super grateful for everyone who told me I needed to start doing yoga and Watsu [water yoga], swimming, eating right and avoiding alcohol and drugs.
Have you noticed an improvement from doing all that?
I haven't noticed yet. My scar hurts like hell. My back is really stiff from a month in bed. But I'm almost a month clean of painkillers, so I'm only on two or four Advils a day. My brain and my spirit are connecting again. Overall, I'm just so happy I didn't hit my head and damage my brain.
How has the accident affected you financially?
My father is one of my best friends. He's my accountant, my life coach and confidant and he literally signed me up for insurance three years ago and started sending me the bills. I told him, "I do not want to do this. Why did you sign me up for this?" He said, "Because you're making a little money now. You need health insurance." So for the last three years, I've had the same health insurance policy and just now, it came into effect. So instead of $100,000, it's going to be $10,000. My dad is the man. I have a bed downstairs because my dad was staying with me for a month.
What was your lowest point after you were released from the hospital?
About three weeks in, I really wanted to go out and start hearing music. I was having massive FOMO and bad thoughts. My girl couldn't come visit because she was stuck at work in New York and I was really f-ckin' stressed out and super down and, "Why the f-ck did I survive?" But then, I meditated through that sh-t and then I realized that I'm here to enjoy my life. I just learned to be grateful for what you have. I could have had brain damage, broken my back or been paralyzed. Instead, I'm left with a gnarly scar and a reminder to just slow down.
I've been making music every day, but I'm really taking it easy. I'm not pushing myself. There's no release date. There's no record label. It's just me alone in my room working on music for the love of it. I'm trying to get back to that special place when I was a kid and finding that love, happiness and pure, unadulterated passion for music. I'm just working on stuff every day, all day, just for fun, just 'cause I can. Nobody is breathing down my neck for anything. It's all just fun.
What message would you share to fans hoping to see you perform again?
I'm going to be back and better than ever soon, but not too soon for my health. Everybody who knows me knows I've been touring for ten years. It's time for a break. It's time for some GLK alone time.

The EIAgen AFP Kit has been designed for the quantitative determination of Alpha-fetoprotein in human serum, plasma or amniotic fluid. The standards are calibrated against the WHO 1st International Reference Preparation (IRP) for human AFP (72/225).
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a fetal serum protein which circulates in trace amounts in healthy adults (2). AFP is produced mainly by the fetal yolk sac and fetal liver and to a lesser extent by the fetal gastrointestinal tract and kidneys (3). It is a single chain glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 65-70 kilodaltons. The physico-chemical properties and amino acid composition of AFP are similar to those of serum albumin (4), from which it is antigenically distinct (5).
Clinical interest in AFP is in oncology where serum AFP is used for the diagnosis and monitoring of tumours (6, 7, 8) and in prenatal screening where amniotic fluid AFP is used to screen for foetal abnormalities such as spina bifida and Down's Syndrome (9).
Fetal plasma AFP diffuses into the fetal urine and is excreted into the amniotic fluid from where it diffuses into the maternal circulation. The concentration of AFP in the fetal plasma peaks (2-3 mg/mL) at 12 - 14 weeks and then rapidly falls (9). The levels in the amniotic fluid are parallel to those in the fetal plasma, but are about two orders of magnitude lower (µg range) than fetal plasma concentration. In contrast, maternal serum AFP concentrations increase geometrically until 30 weeks gestation and then decline (10). Following birth, AFP levels in both mother and newborn return rapidly to basal levels (<10 ng/mL).
Approximately 70% of patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma show elevated levels of AFP (7). Levels of 1,000 - 10,000 ng/mL have been reported (11). In the case of testicular teratoma a direct relationship has been observed between incidence of elevated AFP levels and the stage of disease (12). No increased AFP levels are found in testicular seminomas (13). The application of AFP measurement to the management of carcinoma patients has been well documented (14). Failure of AFP levels to return to normal post-operatively suggests the presence of residual tumour.
Increased serum AFP levels have also been observed in benign conditions e.g. acute viral infections, chronic active hepatitis and cirrhosis. Elevated amniotic fluid AFP has also been found in other serious conditions e.g. fetal death, omphalocele and Turner's syndrome.
The EIAgen AFP assay is based on the two steps immunoenzymatic sandwich principle, in conjunction with the Biotine-Streptavidin technology.
Two monoclonal anti-AFP of high affinity and specificity are used: one is labelled with Horse Radish Peroxidase (HRP) and the other with Biotin, while the microplate wells are coated with Streptavidin.
Samples, calibrators and controls are dispensed into the wells, followed by the Biotin anti-AFP conjugate.
During the incubation the monoclonal bind the AFP molecule to one specific sites, and contemporaneously, the Streptavidin immobilizes the forming immunological complex to the wells through the binding to the biotin moiety of the biotinilated antibody.
After washing to eliminate the not reacted species the second monoclonal conjugated to HRP is added.
After the second incubation the wells are washed to remove the unbound labelled antibodies and the mixture of chromogen/substrate is added.
The reaction is then blocked by adding the Stop Solution and the developed colour is measured photometrically. The intensity of the colour is directly proportional, within the working range of the assay, to the concentration of AFP in the sample. The concentration of AFP in a patient sample or controls is then determined by interpolation on the calibration curve.
Each kit contains sufficient reagents to perform 96 tests (code LI4017K).


BALTIMORE, Md. — American Idol has its 'Top 10,' and two of them are from the Baltimore area.
It went pretty smoothly for church janitor turned Idol star Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon. But for Windsor Mill-native Dimitrius Graham, he had to fight his way out of the danger zone.
Graham's rendition of the song "When The Party's Over" by Billie Eilish swooped the hearts of many and luckily grabbed Idol judge Luke Bryan's attention to make a save.
WMAR-2 News' Abby Isaacs sat with Dimitrius' family during the anxiety-filled show. His mom was confident that he would make it, and when her dreams for her son came true, she couldn't hold back her tears of joy.
"I'm excited, but I knew this was not the end of his journey. I knew God was not finished with his journey, so I am excited and I am praying, praying and believing that everyone is praying with me. He is gonna make it. He is going all the way," said mom Lorraine Ricks.
Now, Baltimore can finally rave about its takeover in the competition!
You can catch the two local stars on the American Idol LIVE shows at 8 p.m. on Sunday.


Entering a cemetery can be oddly comforting. The sea of tombstones tells you that your loss is part of something so clearly inevitable, that thousands of others feel pain just the same yours, that somehow death is part of life and it's all OK.
But then you find the tombstone you came to see and the name "Deborah Hubbard Christensen" etched so permanently in granite, and it hits you like a sucker punch. She's gone. And all those other tombstones don't make it any better.
Colin's mom passed away over 2 years ago now and this was the first time I had been back to see her grave in South Africa. I hadn't known her long but she made an indelible impression on everyone she knew. She was sensitive, compassionate, graceful, loving, and intuitive and would have made one hell of a grandmother to Caleb. Her friends called her a "spiritual giant" and not just one of them confided to me that she had saved their lives in one way or another. She had a calling to help people heal. Colin simply worshiped her.
I didn't know her long but some of my tears where simply for that. Others were from watching my son playing among the tombstones, oblivious to his loss. Still others were from watching her son - my husband - hunched over at the foot of her grave, feeling the full and agonizing weight of his loss.
It was a powerfully sad and poignant moment.
Just as we left the cemetery the blue sky turned a deep almost purplish gray and rain gently poured down on us, as if to wash away our sadness. And this is exactly what she would have wanted to do.
Thanks, Kim. This brought tears back to my own eyes.
Yes! Very well said, Kim, thank you. An enriched and grateful friend of Deb.


Windows successively render 2D grids of text (usually instances of FSArray) to the terminal.
A window owns its output stream - it is assumed (but not enforced) that no additional data is written to this stream between renders, an assumption which allowing for example portions of the screen which do not change between renderings not to be redrawn during a rendering.
There are two useful window classes, both subclasses of BaseWindow. FullscreenWindow renders to the terminal's alternate screen buffer (no history preserved, like command line tools Vim and top) while CursorAwareWindow renders to the normal screen. It is also is capable of querying the terminal for the cursor location, and uses this functionality to detect how a terminal moves its contents around during a window size change. This information can be used to compensate for this movement and prevent the overwriting of history on the terminal screen.
render_to_terminal() should only be called within the context of a window. Within the context of an instance of BaseWindow it's important not to write to the stream the window is using (usually sys.stdout). Terminal window contents and even cursor position are assumed not to change between renders. Any change that does occur in cursor position is attributed to movement of content in response to a window size change and is used to calculate how this content has moved, necessary because this behavior differs between terminal emulators.
Entering the context of a FullscreenWindow object hides the cursor and switches to the alternate terminal screen. Entering the context of a CursorAwareWindow hides the cursor, turns on cbreak mode, and records the cursor position. Leaving the context does more or less the inverse.
FullscreenWindow will only render arrays the size of the terminal or smaller, and leaves no trace on exit (like top or vim). It never scrolls the terminal. Changing the terminal size doesn't do anything, but rendered arrays need to fit on the screen.
The context of the FullscreenWindow object must be entered before calling any of its methods.
Within the context of CursorAwareWindow, refrain from writing to its out_stream; cached writes will be inaccurate.
array (FSArray) – Grid of styled characters to be rendered.
Renders to the normal terminal screen and can find the location of the cursor.
The context of the CursorAwareWindow object must be entered before calling any of its methods.
Within the context of CursorAwareWindow, refrain from writing to its out_stream; cached writes will be inaccurate and calculating cursor depends on cursor not having moved since the last render. Only use the render_to_terminal interface for moving the cursor.
extra_bytes_callback (f(bytes) -> None) – Will be called with extra bytes inadvertantly read in get_cursor_position(). If not provided, a ValueError will be raised when this occurs.
Returns the how far down the cursor moved since last render.
Grid of styled characters to be rendered.
