About usadmin-vrd2021-06-03T08:09:25+00:00
Jakes Gerwel Fellowship is a full university scholarship that provides extensive mentoring and leadership development for top learners with a passion for teaching and education. At the heart of what we do is nurturing expert teachers who embrace innovation and can lead the kind of change that our educational sector so desperately requires. In short, we want to make the strongest possible case and provide the greatest possible support for our best students to become our best teachers.
Founded in 2017, Jakes Gerwel Fellowship is fully funded by Allan Gray Orbis Foundation Endowment Teaching Initiative. Our beneficiaries start their university studies at either the University of Cape Town or the University of Pretoria. The supported degree streams include a Bachelor of Arts, Science or Commerce. In addition to their academic studies, students benefit from a world-class Fellowship programme that provides access to personal coaches, mentors and expert teachers, along with elective activities. After completing their 3-year degree, students qualify as high school teachers through a PGCE and then enter a 2-year induction phase as they are placed in partner schools as newly qualified teachers. Ongoing support and development will continue to be offered through communities of practice.
There are three entry points into the Jakes Gerwel Fellowship. Grade 12 and 1st year level students can apply as part of the undergraduate intake. Alternatively, final year students can apply for to be part of the PGCE intake.
Jakes Gerwel Fellowship is named to honour the high impact legacy of Professor Jakes Gerwel, a teacher and educational leader who was one of President Mandela's closest confidants.
As expert teachers, educational leaders and social entrepreneurs, Jakes Gerwel Fellows are at the forefront of solving the most pressing educational challenges and in so doing, improve schools in South Africa.
Through an aspirational Educational Fellowship pipeline that focuses on academic, leadership and teaching excellence, JGF empowers passionate teachers with the subject matter expertise and pedagogical content knowledge to become expert teachers, while effective communities of practice amplify their educational leadership ability to mobilise broader systemic change.

Home / Gadgets / These Ultra-Realistic Masks Of Trump, Putin, And Kim Jong-Un Are Simply Incredible
These Ultra-Realistic Masks Of Trump, Putin, And Kim Jong-Un Are Simply Incredible
By FizX on April 18, 2017@fizx
Landon Meier, he is a Denver-based artist who makes masks for his company Hyperflesh.
Meier's 2017 creations are some of the three most terrifyingly influential men on the planet: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-un.
"It's kind of the political arena right now," Meier told BuzzFeed News of his new creations. "I think they're all kinda like-minded people. They're all megalomaniacs, insufferable narcissists who'll stop at nothing to achieve their legacy."
"I thought it'd be fun to have them all together," he said.
He said he's been able to master the president's signature hairstyle since then: "I figured out the hair a bit more. Last time he looked like a California surfer."
Meier unveiled his new creations at Monsterpalooza, which was held in Pasadena, California, between April 7-9.
"This year I wanted two children to be playing Trump and Kim," said Meier, who himself dressed up as a mobster-themed Putin.
"It was great," Meier said of the crowd's enthusiastic reaction to his creations. "People just go ape-shit crazy."
A Facebook Live video of the masked characters dancing to "Uptown Funk" at the convention has since gone super viral, racking up more than 62 million views.
Prospective buyers should know these aren't your standard Halloween costumes; each of Meier's masks cost about $4,500 because they require weeks, sometimes months, of sculpting, silicone casting, and intricate paint and hair work. So yeah, they are not cheap at all.

Here's where he ranks on the team since that date: Lest you think a low on-base percentage or high strikeout total takes anything away from his game, consider his accomplishments over five years: co-MVP of the 2016 NL Championship Series, runner-up for NL MVP in 2018, All-Star starter at second base and shortstop in consecutive seasons and, of course, a World Series winner. An All-Star in 2018 and 2019, Baez was also a Silver Slugger award winner in 2018 as he led the N.L. "The game on the field? A former editor once sent me a note on this that simply said "fan = fanatic". "A lot of people change, but what got me here is me being me," he said. Just play the game hard.". Thanks for Listening to 100FM ! ", "I was sitting in the stands for one of his early games in 2014," teammate Kris Bryant said over the weekend.

The (EFCC) Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , secured the conviction and sentencing of Prof. Benjamin Adefemi Ogunbodede, a former Director-General, Institute of Agriculture Research and Training, IART,Ibadan before Justice Nathaniel Ayo-Emmanuel of the Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan on Tuesday.
Ogunbodede had been prosecuted alongside Zacheaus Tejumola, Adenose Clement and Jalekun Omotowoju on a 17-count charge bordering on conspiracy, misappropriation and diversion of funds to the tune of N177 million.
However, investigation revealed that he actually spent N800,000 to harvest the crops.
The convictsarraigned on June 16,2014 had all pleaded not guilty to the charge, thereby setting the stage for their trial. In the course of the trial, the prosecution counsel had presented 15 witnesses and tendered relevant documents, which were all admitted in evidence.

Q: What is the current status of string theory (2013)? I've seen a bunch of articles talking about how new findings from the LHC seem to disprove (super)string theory and/or supersymmetry, or at least force physicists to reformulate them and change essential predictions.
Some examples:

*

*Did the Large Hadron Collider Just Debunk Superstring Theory?

*Is Supersymmetry Dead?

*String Theory Now on Life Support

*Supersymmetry Fails Test, Forcing Physics to Seek New Ideas
So I'd like to know: has string theory really been hit that hard? Is it losing ground in the scientific community? Do you think it can recover from it? Are there any viable or promising alternative theories? (I've seen Michio Kaku in some clips saying string theory is "the only game in town".)
Note: a related question is What if the LHC doesn't see SUSY?, but I'm asking for more direct answers in light of the results found in the last 2 years.

A: Disclaimer: I am not a phenomenologist.
...
Having said that, I think there are two issues that are conflated here:

*

*The first is that SUSY is more or less necessary for the mathematical consistency of string theory, yes.

*The other is that if nature is supersymmetric at LHC-accessible energy scales, then we might have a solution to the Hierarchy problem, which is the question of why is the Higgs so light when we would a priori expect its mass to be close to the Planck mass, which is something like $10^{15}$ bigger.

I understand this second point historically has been one of the driving forces of SUSY research (the other is string theory of course) which is why many physicists find the prospect of no SUSY at LHC scales troubling. This is not really relevant to string theory itself however.

A: The idea which is being challenged, though certainly not disproved yet, is that there are new particles, other than the Higgs boson, that the LHC will be able to detect. It was very widely supposed that supersymmetric partners of some known particles would show up, because they could stabilize the mass of the Higgs boson.
The simplest framework for this is just to add supersymmetry to the standard model, and so most string models of the real world were built around this "minimal supersymmetric standard model" (MSSM). It's really the particle physicists who will decide whether the MSSM should lose its status as the leading idea for new physics. If they switch to some "new standard model", then the string theorists will switch too.
Whether they are aiming for the SM, the MSSM, or something else, the challenge for string theorists is, first, to find a shape for the extra dimensions which will make the strings behave roughly like the observed particles, and then second, use that model to predict something new. But as things stand, we still only have string models that qualitatively resemble reality.
Here is an example from a year ago - "Heterotic Line Bundle Standard Models". You'll see that the authors talk about constructing "standard models" within string theory. That means that the low-energy states in these string models resemble the particles of the standard model - with the same charges, symmetries, etc.
But that's still just the beginning. Then you have to check for finer details. In this paper they concern themselves with further properties like proton decay, the relative heaviness of the different particle generations, and neutrino masses. That already involves a lot of analysis. The ultimate test would be to calculate the exact masses and couplings predicted by a particular model, but that is still too hard for the current state of theory, and there's still work to do just in converging on a set of models which might be right.
So if supersymmetry doesn't show at the LHC, string theorists would change some of these intermediate criteria by which they judge the plausibility of a model, e.g. if particle physics opinion changed from expecting supersymmetry to show up at LHC energies, to expecting supersymmetry only to show up at the Planck scale. It would mean starting over on certain aspects of these model analyses, because now you have changed the details of your ultimate destination.

A: Supersymmetry is not dead and cannot die because it is a mathematical construction, beautiful in its simplicity and power. What it may very well is not to be physical. Many string theory constructions are being postulated assuming some sort of unicity proved: types of compactifications, solutions to various no-go theorems, anomaly cancellations etc. In all cases the unicity is just desired and favoured by some physicists but not rigurously proven. What I think people should do is to start with the fundaments of these theories and re-check all the assumptions. My opinion is that string theory will be found non-existent (in the mathematical sense of being isomorphic with a far simpler theory) ans supersymmetry will be found not to be a symmetry of nature.

Tensioning keys, or adjustable wedge?
... There is a demo offered by the current manufacturer at www.steelpol.com. We tried one of these years ago in our Impacter, but we thought we would never get it out, so we discarded the idea. Now I am considering this application in a drop hammer, but want to know if anyone has tried these with any success.
A: Yes, I am aware of the good and bad of the adjustable wedge or tensioning keys. For presses they work great-especially trim presses-for adjusting alignment between punches and trim blades.
For hammers, the jury is out because sticking is a problem. However, if you try one, be sure to lubricate the screws and wedge surfaces with powdered copper in grease, or use KopperKote from the makers of NeverSeize. This prevents sticking and galling, and might be worth trying if you are willing to do the maintenance.


MASON, Ohio - The fifth-seeded George Washington men's tennis team defeated No. 2 Xavier, 4-3, on Sunday at theLindner Family Tennis Center for its second straight Atlantic 10 Championship title and third in school history.
The Colonials - whose first A-10 Championship came in 1979 - and the Musketeers matched up for the third time in as many years in the title match, with GW coming away victorious each of the past two seasons. With Sunday's championship, the Buff and Blue earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, set to begin on Friday, May 11.
Knotted at 3-3, No. 2 singles proved to be the decisive match for the second day in a row. Senior Ugur Atalay, who clinched the semifinal upset of top-seeded Charlotte on Saturday, repeated his heroics to lift GW to its second straight crown after being chosen to repeat as conference champions in a preseason vote of the league's head coaches.
The Colonials fell behind 1-0 when they dropped the doubles point with losses at the Nos. 2 and 3 slots . SeniorRichard Blumenfeld tied action up at 1-1 when he downed Marc Pretorius, 6-2, 6-3 in the No. 6 singles match. Sophomore Viktor Svensson regained the advantage for GW with a fifth-flight victory over Michael Moe by set scores of 7-6 (7), 6-1, and junior Alexander van Gils pushed the lead to 3-1 with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Richard Canelas at No. 3.
Freshman Francisco Dias dropped a 6-4, 7-6 (6) decision to Jimmy Roebker in the No. 1 match, and junior Leonardo Lapentti fell to Brandon MacDonald, 6-2, 6-3, at the No. 4 spot. After falling behind a set, Atalay came through in the clutch with second and third set scores of 7-6 (5), 6-1.
GW (17-7) will compete in its second-ever NCAA Tournament with exact dates, opponent and site details yet to be determined. Check back to GWsports.com in the coming days for more information.

If you're short on gas supply whether it be for brewing, growing or drinks production, get in touch with IGC today for a fast solution.
Every industry makes use of different types of electricity and gas equipment, and within these industries there are companies that use various industrial gases such as Carbon Dioxide, CO2 Nitrogen, and Oxygen. This is why companies prefer purchasing industrial gas in bulk, so they can achieve productivity at very low cost of production.
At IGC Engineering, we believe that we are the best in the business at providing industrial gas, and at very affordable rates. Beverages and food companies make use of CO2 and other industrial gases to preserve food and drinks over a period of time, with several gases often required in some of the largest companies where everything is stored at very high levels.
As a customer, you need to be confident that the company, or gas suppliers, you are dealing with has experience in this field. For over 24 years, IGC have been manufacturing and installing high quality pressure tanks for industrial gases like CO2, as well as being highly competent in sourcing the right gas for you on a no contract agreement. Given our technical knowledge and practical know-how amassed over these years when faced with any application, we believe IGC to be a leading company that you, as a customer, can have complete confidence in, knowing that safety is our prime goal – no compromise.
Whatever your business, you may well have the need to use an industrial gas. These are normally contained in pressure vessels and tanks in order to safely supply the appropriate gases for your exact requirements, whether it be growing, brewing or cryogenic blasting.
Almost all businesses that cater to the public such as restaurants, pubs and night clubs have pressure vessels in-house, generally storing a supply of either Carbon Dioxide or mixed industrial gas such as CO2 and Nitrogen. None of these businesses would be able to offer the services that they do if they didn't use industrial gas. Oxygen is another example commonly used in the public domain; in hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities that administer to patients, as well as being carried at all times in fire engines, ambulances and other emergency vehicles.
Most gas suppliers develop the right grade and the correct mixture for the right application of industrial gas. After all, every gas has its own properties which can be used to make energy or health saving benefits, not to mention how easy it can make our lives. What would we do without Carbon Dioxide to feed our tomatoes, dry ice for transportation of chilled goods, or oxygen for food presentation?
Most industrial gas is held in pressure vessels that are suitable for the conditions and application – this keeps them safe and secure under pressure, but using the right pressure vessel is crucial to your business.
Pressure vessel manufactures construct their pressure tanks under various codes. IGC are flexible and can accommodate the design to suit the client's requirement, the most popular being Pressure Equipment Directive (Directive 97/23/EC) (PED), also known as ASME under the Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code in the United States and under BCGA recommendations in the UK. Each association works with suppliers of pressure vessels through a dialogue with the relevant government agencies.
In addition, IGC comply fully with the Health and Safety Executive to promote the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR) to ensure both customer and operatives are working with in UK laws, and, more importantly, that they are aware safety and security is at the forefront of the design and manufacture.
After all, where would we be without?
As you can see, industrial gas is used in everything we do in life, so having the correct pressure vessel is important to the functionality of almost every business.
Get in touch with IGC for a quote about our gas storage solutions, and we can also liaise with verified gas suppliers to source you the correct and best supply.

UNITED STATES - For Us, the Undocumented, Time has Come (1)
Ilka Oliva Corado
Wednesday 23 November 2016, posted by Ilka Oliva Corado
All the versions of this article: [English] [Español]
The migrations of Central Americans to the United States began in the 1980s, when the US intervened in Central American territory with the implementation of the Plan Condor and the dictatorships regional agendas which were referred as Internal Armed Conflict, which in Guatemala resulted in genocide and scorched earth.
At that time thousands were forced to leave Central America to save their lives and sought refuge in Mexico, and paradoxically in the United States. It was not enough with the Plan Condor of those years, it was updated in 2004 as the Free Trade Agreement between the United States, Central America and the Dominican Republic. Something that legalized ecocide, mining, exploitation of natural resources and the onslaught of transnational corporations in the region. In short, neoliberalism was established in the region. With this the rich became richer and the poor poorer. And the ruthless persecution of journalists, human rights defenders and the environment began. The murder of Berta Cáceres in Honduras makes it clear, as well as the forced disappearance of the 43 students of Ayotzinapa in Mexico.
In Mexico it happened much earlier, it was in 1992 when the North American Free Trade Agreement between Mexico, the United States and Canada was signed. It was started in 1994, the same year that Bill Clinton started the construction of the wall between the United States and Mexico. It was in Nogales and at that time they made it from landing pads used in the Vietnam and Gulf wars. Since then, there has been talk of combating drug trafficking. The wall was to persuade the migrants to abstain from crossing the border because the only option they had was the desert and the thousands of kilometers without water where for sure they would die.
Thousands of Mexicans were forced to migrate as the only choice to subsist. According to official Border Patrol figures (but we know that there are actually many more), about 6,330 people died in their attempt to cross the desert between Mexico and the United States between 1984 and 2014. According to Colobrí Center for Human Rights, in Tucson, Arizona, around 2,500 have disappeared in the desert.
Democrats and Republicans are the same thing when it comes to foreign policy and undocumented immigrants. In 2006 was approved the renovation of the border wall and was by an initiative signed by Hillary Clinton and several Democratic senators, it was called Secure Fence Act.
And with this also came Operation Streamline, which is the massive imprisonment of undocumented immigrants caught by the Border Patrol and who serve sentences of up to 180 days in prisons before being deported to their countries of origin. This after the poor treatment they suffer at the hands of the Border Patrol agents, who steal the little money they carry, and their belongings. Widespread sexual abuse of children, adolescents and women which remain unpunished. These national security policies have dehumanized migrations and allowed anti-immigrant groups to head into the desert with automatic rifles and killing undocumented people in hunting trips that extremist xenophobes celebrate.
Nevertheless the Plan Condor is updated every decade, and in 2008 the Plan Mérida which is a security treaty established between the United States, Mexico and Central America is created. This was followed in 2014 by the Southern Border Plan that militarized the US's southern border down to the border between Mexico and Guatemala, followed by the Maya-Chortí Plan covering Guatemala and Honduras. To reinforce it, the Alliance for Prosperity Plan was created in the Northern Triangle of Central America.
At that time they launched the media bombshell about the crisis of Central American children traveling unaccompanied, with the help of media such as Telemundo, Univision and CNN en Español. None of these dared to show that there was no such a crisis and that migrations of children, girls and teenagers traveling without an adult's company have been taking place for decades. Hillary Clinton declared that those children had to return to their countries of origin because there was no place for them here. How does one believe in her desire for an Immigration Reform in her proposal as a presidential candidate?
With these treaties the criminalization of forced migrations is concealed and the governments of the countries involved are allowed to profit from the lives of immigrants in transit, this is where the big mafias have been operating and from where anti-immigrant operatives are conducted. As a result, there has been an increase in violence in which trafficking in persons for the purposes of sexual exploitation, forced labor and organ trafficking is palpable. Also forced disappearances and clandestine graves -a form of genocide in Mexico.
In South America the most affected has been Colombia with Plan Colombia, which is a design like those applied in Mexico and Central America, and it is for that reason that since its implementation in 1999, the Colombian government is licensed to "fight" drug traffickers, that is to say, the Revolutionaries Armed Forces of Colombia. Because to be honest, the DEA is negotiating with the drug traffickers. It also allows mining, paramilitarism, false positives, clandestine graves and ecocide. In all these treaties the administrations of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush have been involved. Do you see how Republican and Democrats are not so different?
What did happen to the other countries of South America? Peru signed the Peru-United States Free Trade Agreement in 2006 and implemented it in 2009. We can see that this also forced thousands of Peruvians to migrate to the United States and Europe. The same happened in Chile with the Chile-United States Free Trade Agreement signed in 2003. In a general sense the free trade agreements between the United States and Latin American countries signify the updated application of the neoliberal policies that began with the overthrow Of Salvador Allende in Chile and devastated Latin America 40 years ago.
But, wait! In 2005 Latin American dignity was defended with consciousness and love, and it was Hugo Chavez, Néstor Kirchner and Lula da Silva, presidents of Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil, who at the Fourth Summit of the Americas in Mar de Plata, Argentina, said no to the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). We can see how these countries remained stable with the progressive governments that began with the Chavista Revolution and how this, as a result of the anger and the impotence of the United States for not being able to buy these presidents, prompted Obama to sign, for a second consecutive year, an Executive Law Against Venezuela which sets the stage for a military invasion at any moment. And that too induced him to promote the coup d'etat against Dilma, in Brazil, and to seek now a close relationship with Macri in order to sign treaties with his government in Argentina.
Generally speaking, this is how we can see the clear reasons for the forced migration of Latin Americans to the United States and why it is larger in some countries than in others. It is due to the neoliberal agenda of some, and the progressive one of others.

IOT News Roundup
By Claire Swedberg
ZigBee, EnOcean energy-harvesting IOT partnership; Ascom Unite Messaging Suite now integrates with Stanley Healthcare RTLS; ITU teams with Georgia Tech for IOT standards; Sigma Designs offers added security to its Z-Wave products; new DUOS app uses beacons to break the ice at conferences and events; Silicon Labs offers two new Gecko microcontrollers.
ZigBee and EnOcean Alliances Ally to Create Self-powered Product Applications
Dec 18, 2015The ZigBee Alliance and the EnOcean Alliance, a building-automation organization, are partnering to offer applications that use ZigBee-based technology with EnOcean energy harvesting. The partnership is intended to enable a broader range of self-powered IoT sensor solutions.
To accomplish this goal, a technical task force composed of ZigBee Alliance and EnOcean Alliance representatives will be established, with the aim of defining the technical specifications required to combine standardized EnOcean Equipment Profiles (EEPs) with the ZigBee 3.0 specification, which operates according to the worldwide IEEE 802.15.4 2.4 GHz standard. The alliances plan to complete the definition of this technical specification and share details of associated collaborative marketing and business activities during the second quarter of 2016.
ZigBee 3.0 is an open wireless IoT product-development specification that extends all the way from the physical layer to the application network layer. It includes certification and branding for improved interoperability across a growing range of market segments.
Ascom Unite Messaging Suite Interoperates With Stanley Healthcare RTLS
Health-care information technology solutions company Ascom Wireless Solutions reports that its Ascom Unite Messaging Suite now integrates with Stanley Healthcare's AeroScout real-time location system (RTLS). With the interoperability, Stanley Healthcare RTLS alerts can be sent via Ascom Unite. The RTLS solution is used by health-care facilities for staff-assist calls, asset management, infant and patient protection, and temperature management; therefore, alert calls necessary in the event of a problem would use the Ascom Unite functionality.
Potential health-care customers can view how the technology works and interoperates at the Stanley Healthcare Customer Experience Center, located in Waltham, Mass.
ITU and Georgia Tech to Collaborate on IoT Standards
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has formed an agreement with the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) to monitor activities in IoT technology and develop standards together. The two organizations formed a memorandum of understanding to better identify the need for, and develop standards for, the Internet of Things industry. The work will be done with the help of the ITU Standardization Sector Study Group 20, which is already focused on such IoT technologies and applications as those in use in smart cities, as well as machine-to-machine communications and sensor networks.
Georgia Tech's involvement in the collaboration will include the use of Georgia Tech's Center for the Development and Application of Internet of Things Technologies (CDAIT)—a think tank dedicated to identifying and solving challenges related to IoT technologies and applications.
The two groups will establish a joint steering committee, provide thought leadership to encourage standards groups and trade associations to participate in IoT-relevant discussions, organize and host topic-relevant events, such as workshops and webinars, and assist with the standardization work of ITU study groups.
Sigma Designs Announces New Security Measures
Sigma Designs, a provider of systems-on-chips and modules to companies looking to add Z-Wave technology to smart home devices, has announced that a new Z-Wave Security 2 (S2) framework will be available next year as part of Sigma Designs' Version 6.7 software development kit (SDK). The Z-Wave security measures include a strong Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128-bit, industry-wide accepted secure key exchange using Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) and tunneling of all IP traffic through a secure transport security layer (TLS) 1.1 tunnel to eliminate cloud vulnerability, the company reports.
"We felt we had a responsibility to put extensive resources into arming Z-Wave devices with the most secure communication framework possible," said Raoul Wijgergangs, the VP of Sigma Designs' Z-Wave IoT business unit, in a prepared statement. A beta version of Sigma Designs' Version 6.7 SDK will be released in February 2016.
New Events-Sector App DUOS Uses Beacons to Break Ice
DUOS is marketing a new "icebreaker" app that uses iBeacon technology to enable event sponsors and booth owners to communicate with attendees based on their location. It can also alert individuals to others DUOS app users within their vicinity, whom they could then message privately. The system is intended to be an alternative to physically sharing e-mails or phone numbers with others at an event.
The DUOS network instant-messaging functionality allows for push notifications to event-goers. First, event organizers attach DUOS-supplied Bluetooth beacons to specific booths, and attendees download the free iOS- or Android-based app from the iTunes or Google Play website. Attendees can then receive private and exclusive messages based on their presence at a booth, for instance, and they can also receive future messages based on their having visited a specific booth in the past.
Silicon Labs Releases Jade Gecko and Pearl Gecko MCUs
Silicon Labs has released two new Gecko microcontrollers: the Jade Gecko and Pearl Gecko.
These next-generation microcontrollers (MCUs) are intended to provide hardware cryptography, as well as energy management, for IoT installations. The new MCUs feature a hardware cryptography engine providing fast, energy-efficient, autonomous encryption and decryption for Internet security protocols, such as TLS/SSL.
Both the Jade Gecko and Pearl Gecko come with a choice of 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 and M4 cores. They also come with a flexible energy-management system with a wide range of low-energy modes; a 12-channel peripheral reflex system (PRS) supporting autonomous interaction between peripherals, including deep sleep mode; configurable logic functions; and a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) capable of sampling and performing autonomous comparisons down to stop mode. Both MCUs have scalable memory options (up to 256 kilobytes flash with 32 kilobytes of RAM).
The Jade Gecko and Pearl Gecko MCUs come in two packages: QFN32, measuring 5 millimeters by 5 millimeters (0.2 inch by 0.2 inch), and QFN48, measuring 7 millimeters by 7 millimeters (0.28 inch by 0.28 inch), with production guarantees for the second quarter of 2016. The Jade Gecko pricing begins at $1.24 apiece in 10,000-unit quantities, while Pearl Gecko pricing begins at $1.65 apiece at such volume. The SLSTK3401A EFM32PG Pearl Gecko Starter Kit, priced at $30, enables developers to jumpstart their evaluation and development of Gecko-based applications.

Rated 3 out of 5 by John Walters from I bet Piven doesn't even wear the pair they gave him... Yeah, I thought I would love these, but I was wrong. The lenses are great, and I love the blue-mirroring. I like the fact that they are super lightweight. However, they are "flat." Like, I'm not sure how describe that term. There is no curvature to the frame, so there is a lot of reflective glare (e.g. you see things like your eyes or what's behind you reflected in the lens). Also, because of the "flat"-ness of the frame, the top bar kinda digs into my brow. I thought about maybe trying to bend the frame so they fit better, but I'm worried I would pop out one of the lenses. I have also noticed this weird oily-plastic-y smell to them - the smell tends to linger even after taking them off. I think it's the nose pads. Cool case though.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Timothy Edmunds from GORGEOUS! I love these glasses. So much that I ordered them in Black. The frames are lightweight. Quality. Look similar to Michael Kors for a much better price. Let's face it. Who wants to spend that much on sunglasses that you might lose or drop or sit on. I much prefer to spend less and have them look like designer. These totally do it! The lenses are quality and I love the brown tone it helps block out the LED lights around. These are a stunning sunglass for a very reasonable price and I LOVE THEM!
Rated 4 out of 5 by Benjamin Langford from OBSESSED!!! I've never bought pricey sunglasses, but these have truly impressed me. My new go to glasses for the summer, I love how high fashion and high quality they look and feel. Nice addition with the case and cleaning cloth too. I'm considering buying a few other styles as well, but I'll wait and see how these last through the season.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mightyhorse from Awesome sunglasses! I really like these glasses. Cool, fashionable people stop me on the street regularly to ask where I got them and for that moment I can imagine a world where I don't spend weekends nervously alone waiting for the unstoppable march of time to take me away from a life of crippling anxiety and depression. Thanks Prive Revaux!
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jim from She loved the style and they felt sturdy - way sturderier ... My wife bought these sunglasses and they broke within one month. She loved the style and they felt sturdy - way sturderier than Ray Bans. They stayed on her face as a coach. The screw that keeps the the side arm connected to the lens broke and it's not a standard screw. Will try again with a different pair.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Bobbo Vox from The Marquise My first Prive pair of sunglasses and they are my go-to ones now. I've owned expensive pairs like Oliver Peoples and Tom Ford, although not durable like those brands, the Prive lenses and weight are just as good if not better. I love this brand and have bought other frames for me and my family.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Octavio Bowley from Sunnies with style! I really love how unique these sunglasses are, the logo on them is extremely small and blends into the lenses nicely. These definitely do not feel as frail as others have said and the gold accents are subtle but beautiful. I am very happy with my purchase!

"Days Of Our Lives" Weekly Recap: #TeamLeo
He's baaaaack!Now THIS is more like it.After months of stagnant, mind-numbing nothingness, WilSon are fun (again?). It's just a shame it took Christopher Sean leaving for it to happen. They so fuckbungled the Will/Sonny/Paul story, which was so rife with possibilities, it took a major event to bring the gays back from the precipice.With Paul now shuffled off to San Francisco (which is the perfect home for a man IN A WHEELCHAIR), Will and Sonny are all set to get reacquainted genitally when there's a knock at the door. Guess who! Yes, It's DEAD Leo! The last time we saw him he was taking a ride on Maggie's carpet (thankfully, that's not a euphemism), having being accidentally "killed" by Will and Sonny.This puts a serious crimp in Will and Sonny's night of roleplaying as ... a lonely spinster librarian in a rural town in Maine being seduced by a sleazy traveling cod liver oil salesman? Seriously, wardrobe people, why do you hate Will and Sonny? The boys are dumbfounded. How is Leo alive? Leo explains that he was never really dead, just super extra unconscious. Will protests that he checked Leo's pulse, and it was cold and unresponsive, but this is Will we're talking about, and it's quite possible he was actually taking the pulse of the coffee table leg instead.When he came to, there was a woman with crazy teeth and glasses over him who took him to a creepy doctor who injected him with a serum. Will is all "SUSAN AND DR. ROLF!", and Leo says "Gotcha!" I am now officially on #TeamLeo.Actually, Leo woke up wrapped up in the rug in the trunk of the car, and after he managed to extricate himse ... wait a minute. How in the hell did Leo manage that? Anyway, after he escaped, he laid low until he was healed, and waited until the right time to reappear. Sonny wants to know what he hell he wants, and Leo tells him he's ready to pick up where they left off ... by getting married. Will and Sonny are incredulous, but Leo explains that Sonny has no choice. If he doesn't agree, he'll go to the police with an attempted murder accusation, and lays out a fairly convincing argument why it would work.Oh, and he spills the beans on Kate being the mastermind behind the sexual harassment lawsuit, sending Will into a tailspin. When he leaves to confront his grandmother, Leo tells Sonny that unless he agrees to the sham marriage, he'll destroy his life "and that Twink, too." Okay, Will is a bit, uh, long in the tooth to be a twink, but I guess I'll allow it. Will manages to get Kate to confess to setting up Sonny, and while he's suitably appalled, I think Kate makes a credible point that "He was just your ex-husband at the time". Meanwhile, Sonny is confronting Chad about knowing about Kate's machinations, and Chad also ends up tearfully confessing (which is remarkable considering that Chad has not been able to show any recognizable human emotions for ages). Kate comes over to accept her punishment from Sonny, and promises to do whatever she can to clear his name, even if it means going public with what she did. Luckily for Kate, Leo interrupts the fashion-challenged meeting, and exclaims "Do you honestly think that will matter once these Twinks are in prison?"IT IS NOW CLEAR THAT LEO HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE WORD TWINK MEANS. Will and Sonny make one last attempt to discredit Leo and his story, but Leo has an ace up his sleeve. Pictures of the actual carpet rolling and removal of his body. Wait ... what?Leo explains that his lawyer Ted had a detective follow him before his fateful meeting, and managed to take all of these perfect crystal clear pictures from ... inside the mansion? Will and Sonny realize that Leo has them over a barrel (actually, he could have the both of them anywhere based on the case he's made), and we know it's bad because we see the return of Sweaty Sonny, who tells Will "I think i'm going to have to marry Leo Stark!" Elsewhere in Salem ...There's some kind of custody thing going on concerning a ... Big Beef Burrito? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ... STEVIE NICKS. That's it. See you next week, when things get slap happy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zkwGFk8xtA

Medio Atrato es un municipio colombiano ubicado en el departamento de Chocó. La cabecera municipal es la localidad de Beté. Uno de sus importantes centros poblados es San Roque del Atrato.

Historia
El municipio de Medio Atrato fue fundado mediante Ordenanza n.º 008 del 23 de junio de 1999 Segregando de Quibdó

Este se crea por iniciativa de los señores: IVER DE JESUS SALAS MOSQUERA, JOSE PARMENIO CUESTA BLANDON y la señora MARIA DE LA CRUZ CUESTAS SANTOS, quienes realizaron un convocatoria a la colonia Beteseña para socializar la idea de crear al municipio, idea que se hizo extensiva a otras colonias del municipio de Quibdó como las Mercedes, Tanguí, Campo Alegre, San Roque, San Antonio de Buey, Bebaramá, Llano, Tagachí, y las veredas de Paina, Angostura, Baudó, Coredó, Baudicito, Puné, Medio Beté, Aurobuey, Salazar, Limón, Platina, Tumaco, Playón, San Frascisco de Tauchigadó, Agua Clara, la Villa, La Peña, Pueblo Viejo; comunidades indígenas comenzando así hacer asambleas, bajo asesoría del doctor HERCTOR ABEL CORDOBA. Para escoger la cabecera municipal se votó, obtenido Beté 47 sufragios a su favor, frente a 7 de Tagachí, lo que originó que este corregimiento se retirara del proyecto de creación.

Pese a esto, no fue obstáculo dado que, aun saliéndose Tagachí y las Mercedes el Ente territorial quedaba con una población de 9000 habitantes, lo que le dio derecho a elegir 11 concejales, número superior a otros municipios con mayor tiempo e historia de creación y/o existencia; así volvió el ánimo de la gente y se reanudaron esas asambleas donde l señor TARCIO ELISEO SERNA CORDOBA, abarrotándose el lugar y cambiando el sitio de reunión por uno más amplio en la Universidad Tecnológica del Chocó ( Gimnasio Anexo) previo a realizarlas en el local del señor PARMENIO CUESA en la Alameda Reyes; hasta llegar a realizarlas en el teatro de la Casa de la Cultura con un ánimo impresionante.

Así se expide la Ordenanza número 008 de 23 de junio de 1999 que le da vida jurídica al municipio del Medio Atrato.

This week in 6th Class we further developed our problem solving and critical thinking skills by working in groups to create a ping pong game using Scratch.
Having previously learned some of the basics of coding this was a challenging project that required plenty of brainpower but we all enjoyed working together to make our games!

Lamouchi on Barnsley
Pre-Barnsley: Sabri Lamouchi
Nottingham Forest head coach Sabri Lamouchi previews Saturday's game against Barnsley at The City Ground
NFFC
Nottingham Forest head coach Sabri Lamouchi is eager for his side to continue enjoying their football as Barnsley get ready to visit The City Ground on Saturday.
The Reds are on an eight-match unbeaten run but Lamouchi is knows that his side needs to maintain their focus and keep playing positive football to achieve the three points.
He said: "This is what I wanted from the beginning, a small squad all focused and ready for each game. I don't want to just keep the same team because it was a nice result.
"We need to get everyone ready because the Championship is a very difficult, hard league. The opponents are always hard to play against and we need to be ready, sometimes for technical reasons, sometimes because of the opponent and sometimes just for the choice.
"Until now, everyone has been ready and focused and with a smile too that I saw at the end of the last game. They are doing a great job every day, we are in the right way. We just need to work again and stay in this way."
Forest secured a fantastic away victory last time out against Swansea City and Lamouchi now wants to see a win at home in front of the home supporters.
But he is well aware that Barnsley will be a difficult proposition as The Tykes look to kickstart their season.
He said: "It will be a special game for many reasons. After the win and result against Swansea, we need to try and play for the victory. But we know about this league and this opponent. It will be a tough game and the stadium will be sold out so the fans will support us, and for that reason it is nice.
"If we want to do well in this league, we need to take the maximum points at home. For the moment, we are playing very well away but at home we must do much better than what we have been doing until now.
"We need to put our rhythm, to play in our way and to take the game in the way we want. We need to be physically and mentally ready and to put our personality on the game.
"It won't be easy. I don't want to say it is a 'trap' game because they have quality and they don't have a lot of points, but in the last game they deserved to score having created a lot of chances against Leeds so we need to be careful."
