MongoDB beats in Q1, but shares fall on lowered EPS outlook
June 5, 2019 April 17, 2020
Despite reporting market-beating quarterly results, MongoDB (NASDAQ: MDB) saw its shares plunge over 6% during the after-market hours on Wednesday, as investors reacted negatively to the company's decision to lower its guidance for the full year EPS.
MongoDB said its first-quarter revenues grew 78% to $89.4 million, higher than the street consensus of $83.08 million, driven by an expanding customer base and new product launches including MongoDB Mobile.
Riding on the strong demand for its database platform, subscription revenues surged 82% year-over-year during the quarter. Revenue from Atlas more than quadrupled during the first quarter.
MongoDB said its adjusted losses narrowed to 22 cents per share from 37 cents per share a year ago. Wall Street was expecting a wider net loss of 24 cents per share.
MDB shares fell over 6% during aftermarket trading on Wednesday. The stock has made steady gains over the past 12 months, with the stock price soaring 170%.
MongoDB lowered its outlook for full-year non-GAAP loss to $1.11 to $1.04 from the prior guidance of $1.06 per share to $0.98 per share. Meanwhile, the outlook for full-year revenues was raised to a range of $375 to $381 million, from the prior range of $363 million to $371 million.

For the second quarter, the company expects adjusted losses between 27 cents and 29 cents per share, on revenues of $90 to $92 million.
Amazon equation
Amazon Web Services (AWS) had helped MongoDB expand its database infrastructure. But things turned sour when Amazon launched DocumentDB, its own database that uses the open-source code of MongoDB.
Though MongoDB CEO Dev Ittycheria had called DocumentDB a "poor imitation," Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) history of being an industry disruptor makes it a relevant threat to the smaller firm.
In order to fend off competition, MongoDB has been diversifying its portfolio through the acquisition of mLabs, and more recently, mobile database platform Realm. The availability of its fully-managed cloud database in over 60 regions is also likely to work in favor of the company.

ECDPMChallenges 2014: Peace and Security
Challenges 2014: Peace and Security
+++ ECDPM Challenges blog series. Post number four +++
The African Peace and Security Architecture might have a strong track record, but that's no reason for complacency
Messages from the recent 'Revitalising The Africa-EU Partnership' conference hosted by Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and ECDPM, and the European Think Tank Group (ETTG) Conference on Africa-EU relations.
Despite improved performance in peace and security matters over recent years, one of the major challenges in 2014 will be to further broaden the dialogue in peace and security beyond the more narrow security dimensions, ensuring the highest-level African-EU political engagement to conflict prevent, conflict management and post-conflict reconstruction.
Africa Is Becoming More Peaceful, but Challenges Lay Ahead
Since the formulation of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) in 2002, important steps have been taken by African stakeholders and the international community to address peace and security in Africa in a more coordinated and institutionally guided process, building on better informed decisions and more resources.
The 2007 EU-Africa Partnership on Peace and Security was created as part of the wider Joint Africa-EU Strategy (JAES) to support the APSA. The APSA is today seen as the most successful part of the JAES.
This conclusion is good but inadvertently poses a major a challenge for the forthcoming EU-Africa Summit in April 2014. There is a risk of complacency, disregarding uncomfortable lessons from the past and insufficiently adapting to increasing challenges that the evolving peace and security situations in different regions of Africa can pose.
An exponential growth of the African population will remain demographic forces that EU-Africa relations may not be able to control but they can and should adapt to them, in order to attempt to address fragility.
By 2025, more people will be born in African countries collectively than in China and India put together. By 2050 more than 20% of the global population will be living in Africa, as the recently spelled out in the African Futures Paper on the prospects for Africa's fragile countries.
Fragility, understood as interaction between armed conflicts, interpersonal violence, chronic poverty, high socio-economic inequalities and poor or weak governance, will persist in a substantial number of countries by 2030 despite expected economic growth rates for Africa of 5% to 6% over the coming decades.
Both Sides Need to Pick Up the Bill
Substantial financial investments and human resources were made available by African governments and their international partners to scale up efforts in the domains of security, and these need to be upheld and rebalanced with investments in long-term peacebuilding and statebuilding. It would also be unwise to reduce support for more fragile environments based on the assumption that economic growth in Africa can allow a more narrow focus on the provision of security alone.
There is therefore a need to broaden the content of the dialogue beyond the more narrow security dimension, encompassing conflict prevention, conflict management and post-conflict reconstruction. This calls for broad political engagement and dialogue at the highest-level in African-EU relations.
"African solutions to African problems" is the slogan that drives many pan-African processes. To go beyond this rhetoric, a growing number of African stakeholders call on their governments to take more ownership, financing the APSA, its African-led Peace Support Operations, and include new initiatives such as the African Solidarity Initiative (ASI), an AU-led process that supports the AU Policy on Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Development (PCRD).
'Remote Control' Approaches in Dealing with Fragility Will not Work
Continued external support will be required as fragility persists in a number of countries and long-term processes are needed to achieve more resilience. "Hands-off" approaches, like the recently introduced EC's Statebuilding Contracts, a form of budget support tailored to the needs of fragile environments, are relevant but need to be embedded in a bottom-up "society building" approach.
To support countries requires in-depth knowledge of the fragilities, supported by conflict assessments and political economy analyses, and the human capacity to deliver. It is particularly relevant at local levels where engagements needs to be deployed in a highly tailored manner, as recent research by the IDS points out.
Intense and long-term investments in difficult environments like the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) need to continue while lessons should be drawn from admittedly narrow-focused value-for-money perspectives as expressed in the recently published European Court of Auditors evaluation of the EU's governance support to DRC.
Various frameworks and initiatives already exist to address post-conflict recovery and transition but synergies and complementarities are not yet fully explored for a more coherent approach. These include the AU's PCRD policy and its ASI priority areas, poverty reduction strategies, and national development frameworks, and more recently the New Deal.
To illustrate my point, the New Deal has become an internationally agreed conceptual framework but international actors, including the EU, and the 13 African governments that work through the New Deal also support the African-grown PCRD Policy, which itself is built on values and principles that also underpin the New Deal. Using both smartly can reinforce the dialogue on better governance and establish additional linkages with the African Governance Architecture.
The Ever-Changing Nature of Conflict and Terror
The APSA was created at a time when the focus was put on more traditional concepts of armed violence and intrastate conflict. 21st century transnational threats illustrate the need to take into account terrorism and transnational crime and the EU-Africa partnership, in support of the APSA, should work against these new threats with more vigour.
The views expressed here are those of the authors, and may not necessarily represent those of ECDPM.

Caressed by the Atlantic winds, Nerabus is a hamlet by the shores of Loch Indaal on the Hebridean Island of Islay. Islay Gin Ltd is a family owned Scottish business and is the first and only dedicated gin producing company on the Hebridean island. Nerabus Islay dry gin is a superior small-batch hand crafted gin, infused with wild Islay heather. It is produced with 100 % Isle of Islay water and bottled on the island.
Heather is one of the main botanical symbols of Scotland, especially in the highlands where it grows in abundance. There are many varieties of heather and when in bloom, the Islay heather has very light purple flowers. The heather is hand picked in the months of August and September and then dried and stored for the infusion.
The gin is a lightly floral, juniper rich, London Dry classic gin with earthy undertones. It is complemented by aromatic bitters such as Angostura.
We like our Nerabus Islay Gin with either 2 drops of Angostura aromatic bitters and plain light tonic or with Aromatic Fever Tree tonic. Both ways, with a slice of lime (not squeezed) and 1 block of ice or just very cold tonic. In addition, if you like your liquor just straight up, just pour it neat and enjoy!


Republican Elizabeth Emken secured a runoff spot in Tuesday's U.S. Senate primary, winning the chance to go head to head with Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein in November.
The Danville Republican was one of 23 candidates challenging the longtime Democratic senator on the primary ballot.
Emken led the pack with 12 percent of the vote in the "top two primary" free-for-all that allowed voters to choose among candidates of all political leanings.
Emken, a longtime advocate for children with autism, edged out a field of mostly unknown and underfunded Republican rivals to win the state party's endorsement ahead of the primary.
Emken, whose 19-year-old adult son is autistic, has spent the last 15 years working as an advocate focused on the condition.
Her recent work as the vice president for government relations for the national nonprofit Autism Speaks sparked attacks from GOP rivals, who said the nonprofit's work to shape the federal health care overhaul conflicted with Emken's stated opposition to the law.

Technology System Testing
Subset Test: A subset is a piece of a program that can be tested on its own. This test should be completed as soon as possible rather than waiting for the entire system to be built first. Once it passes through the testing phase the rest of the subset can be built into a program and the entire program will be tested as one.
Unit Test: Multiple subsets come together as a unit or program and function together. For instance, the View Unresolved Requests function needs a home page, results page and a middle page that sends the triggers to and from the database. All of these subsets come together as a unit and function without the user seeing the background programming.
Systems Test: There are many more units that need to be built and tested similar to the View Unresolved Requests unit. The user can also scroll through and see which of their clients have unresolved requests and click to view them. This is a separate unit that needs to be tested. Once all of the units function well together it can be tested in its entirety as well.
Program Testing
Systems Acceptance Test: This is an overall system test conducted by users on a prototype. This lasts longer than a day so that users can penetrate the system and find out what goes wrong. Finding errors is the main goal of the acceptance test so that they can be corrected and the system can be implemented.
Methods and Procedures Test: The methods and procedures of the company, or the company philosophy, will not change. The system needs to be tailored to fit exactly with the current procedures and users will be the perfect people to conduct that test. A new system should always make their jobs easier instead of more difficult.
Audit Test: The audit test does a final check for errors after the users have completed their testing phase. Auditing isn't a requirement, but it is good practice to insure a quality product over a longer period of time. It forces the IT department to glance over the system each year, or more, to assure its functionality.
Analysts, owners, users and builders are involved in the system testing. Each have their own responsibilities to ensure the system has been tested and approved for implementation. Analysts test the errors and decide the best course of action to fix them. Owners and users test the system as if their using it in their day-to-day routine in order to spot errors and issues that they're having. They also express their likes and dislikes so that, not only problems are fixed, but complaints as well. Overall, the system is for the users and the owner to take the next step in their business venture, so keeping them satisfied is the first objective. Builders, of course, rebuild the programs that found errors and complaints which are the finishing touches of the system.

Italian stoner and noise rock merchants Oreyeon share another dark and churning excerpt taken from their third studio album »Equations For The Useless«, due out June 17th on Heavy Psych Sounds.
Watch new video »Pazuzu« on Doomed & Stoned!
Described as dark, murky and churning by Doomed & Stoned editor Billy Goate, this new track is also the heaviest track on the album. Oreyeon's third album »Equations For The Useless« was entirely recorded live in Bologna in the summer of 2020, and shows their more psychedelic and progressive side while still rocking out with plenty of fuzzed-out stoner rock tunes.
New album »Equations For The Useless« out June 17th on Heavy Psych Sounds
Formed in 2014 by members of Woodwall, Mexican Mud and Army Of Angry Youth, Oreyeon made an impression within the heavy rock scene with their debut album »Builders Of Cosmos« in 2016. Their inspirations go from Black Sabbath to The Sword: with monolithic guitars, huge bass frequencies, and intricate vocals, Oreyeon know how to please every classic and stoner rock mind! On their sophomore album and Heavy Psych Sounds debut »Ode To Oblivion« (2019), Oreyeon drifted away from the usual stoner rock clichés into a more elaborate and melodic style, filled with complex vocal harmonies, richer melodies and a heavier sound. The foursome now returns to Heavy Psych Sounds to present its third album »Equations For The Useless« in the summer of 2022.
Oreyeon is:
Richard Silvaggio – Bass, Vocals
Andrea Ricci – Guitar
Matteo Signanini – Guitar

Can you use 2 semicolons in one sentence?
Examples of Semicolons: Joan likes eggs; Jennifer does not.
The cat slept through the storm; the dog cowered under the bed.
Semicolons are also used in a sentence when something stronger than a comma is needed..
Why is a Semicolon a Symbol for Depression? In literature, a semicolon symbolizes the continuation of a sentence rather than an ending. Similarly, in life, a semicolon tattoo symbolizes an individual's choice to keep going. It lets people know that life, like a sentence, can go on.
Colons and semicolons can be used in the same sentence, but they are each used for different purposes. … In this example, the colon is used to introduce the cities.
Use a semicolon before such words and terms as namely, however, therefore, that is, i.e., for example, e.g., for instance, etc., when they introduce a complete sentence. It is also preferable to use a comma after these words and terms. Example: Bring any two items; however, sleeping bags and tents are in short supply.
Colons (:) are used in sentences to show that something is following, like a quotation, example, or list. Semicolons (;) are used to join two independent clauses, or two complete thoughts that could stand alone as complete sentences.
noun. the punctuation mark (;) used to indicate a major division in a sentence where a more distinct separation is felt between clauses or items on a list than is indicated by a comma, as between the two clauses of a compound sentence.
Semicolons should introduce evidence or a reason for the preceding statement; for example, this sentence appropriately uses a semicolon. A colon, on the other hand, should be used for a stronger, more direct relationship. It should provide emphasis, an example, or an explanation.
The functional definition for a semicolon is that it separates major sentence elements. This means that you should use a semicolon between two closely related independent clauses if they are not already joined by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, so, or yet).
between a grammatically complete introductory clause (one that could stand as a sentence) and a final phrase or clause that illustrates, extends, or amplifies the preceding thought. If the clause following the colon is a complete sentence, it begins with a capital letter.
Most commonly, the semicolon is used between two independent clauses (i.e., clauses that could stand alone as separate sentences) when a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) is omitted. … The semicolon, however, emphasizes the connection between the two clauses.
Semicolon Uses. Semicolons can be used to separate two independent clauses. Perhaps the most common use of a semicolon is to link two separate, independent clauses that could stand as grammatically correct, fully formed sentences on their own.
Use a semicolon between items in a list or series if any of the items contain commas. There are basically two ways to write: with a pen or pencil, which is inexpensive and easily accessible; or by computer and printer, which is more expensive but quick and neat.
Yes. Another one. It has become a cliche, a bore, a drill for us. We joke about the predictability and lament the fact that people can't seem to come up with a more original symbol for suicide awareness — maybe, we hope, one that would be more interesting to tattoo.
Generally, no. It serves the same structural function as a period, but indicates a relationship between the two independent clauses. That kind of falls to pieces if you start stringing them together. If if you've got two semicolons, just make one a period.

Q: Elasticsearch pdf/word file insertion query How do I insert a pdf or word file in elastic as a document. Will elasticsearch store files? If so please point me to the relevant documentation and some information regarding the same.

A: You can use Mapper Attachments plugin to extract and index text of PDF and Word documents. I would advice though to do text extraction outside of elasticearch and just send the text to elasticsearch for indexing. Text extraction is tricky process and outside of elasticsearch you will have more choice for the extraction mechanism as well as bugs in the extraction library will not affect stability of elasticsearch.

Everything You Need to Know About Indiana Dunes, America's Newest National Park
Jeff Greenberg / Getty Images
by Michael Charboneau
Although the government shutdown was a rough time for national parks across the country, it did come with a silver lining: the creation of a new national park. Indiana Dunes National Park was officially designated in the spending bill signed by President Trump earlier this month, CNN reports, and the park is now the 61st in the country and the first in the state of Indiana.
The Best National Parks to Visit in the Winter
The 15,000-acre preserve on the shore of Lake Michigan was previously designated as a national lakeshore and has been managed by the NPS since 1966. It's also the most-visited site in the state, hosting 3.5 million visitors annually. But with its elevation to an official national park, Indiana Dunes may become an even bigger attraction. At least, that's the hope.
"This is a big recognition," Amy Howell, director of communications for Visit Indiana, told CNN. "It will put Indiana on the map more than it already is."

With a little help from some cardboard and a marker, the park's staff made the official announcement on February 15 on Twitter:

— Indiana Dunes (@IndianaDunesNPS) February 15, 2019
Indiana Dunes hosts a staggering amount of ecological diversity within its borders. According to the park's website, the terrain includes towering sand dunes (some rise nearly 200 feet), oak savannas, marshes, prairies, and forests. It's also home to more than a thousand different species of plants and over 350 species of birds—among the highest biological diversity per unit area of all the national parks.
New Iberá National Park Is the Largest Protected Nature Area in Argentina
The dunes themselves were formed from a melting glacier around 11,000 years ago (this same glacier also created Lake Michigan), and fluctuating water levels created four distinct groups of dunes in the park. At the water, the dunes form 15 miles of beaches.
Of course, you might want to wait for warmer weather before you plan a beach trip there. Until then, consider a visit to one of these great parks.

Cardiothoracic surgery involves the treatment of diseases affecting organs inside the chest (thorax), including cardiology treatment which involves conditions of the heart and lungs. The Center of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Apollo Hospitals is considered to be the best hospital in India for heart surgery. This centre of excellence provides a wide spectrum of options for heart treatment in India with superior clinical outcomes. With state of the art infrastructure, technology and clinical expertise, thousands of International patients visit Apollo Hospitals for undergoing heart surgery in India.
The cardio surgical unit has performed a wide range of surgeries ranging from neonatal open-heart surgeries to aneurysm surgeries to heart transplants, with excellent results. The Center has performed over 1,52,000 surgeries making it one of the most experienced heart surgery hospital, not only in India but also in South East Asia.
Conventional CABG or coronary Bypass surgery is performed by splitting or cutting through the breastbone or sternum. MICAS or MICS CABG is a safe and complete operation that has revolutionised the way coronary surgery is performed. MICS CABG or MICAS stands for Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Surgery. It is a relatively new and advanced technique of performing coronary bypass for coronary artery disease. In this technique the heart is approached through the side of the left chest via a small 4cm incision.
In 1995, Apollo Hospitals became the first private hospital to carry out a successful heart transplant in the country. Testimony to this excellence was the trust shown by an American patient last year who underwent a Heart Transplant at our hospital and is doing well.
Surgeries for treatment of complications caused by the dilatation of the aorta (aortic aneurysm), problems caused by irregular heart beat (arrhythmias - such as atrial fibrillation), heart failure, Marfan syndrome - a genetic disorder that causes cardiovascular abnormalities and other less common conditions are performed extensively.

Алёна Димитриевна Тирон (в девичестве Богачёва, по первому браку Михальцова, род. 8 декабря 1993 года, Новосибирск) — российская регбистка, защитница команды ЦСКА и сборной России по регби-7, капитан национальной сборной в 2017—2021 годах. Выступала за клуб «Енисей-СТМ», в составе которого выиграла чемпионат России в 2017 году, в составе ЦСКА играет с 2020 года, выиграв чемпионат России в 2021 году и два Кубка России в 2020 и 2021 годах. В составе сборной России по регби-7 шесть раз выигрывала чемпионат Европы (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 и 2021 годы). Заслуженный мастер спорта России (27 апреля 2018 года).

Клубная карьера
С 15 лет Алёна начала заниматься легкой атлетикой по примеру старшей сестры, была серебряным и бронзовым призёром чемпионата России. Занималась бегом на дистанции 60, 100 и 200 метров. В 2011 году Владимир Николаевич Демонов, менеджер клуба «Енисей-СТМ», увидел её выступление на соревнованиях Сибирского федерального округа по лёгкой атлетике, проходивших в Омске и предложил ей перейти в регби. Изначально девушка не согласилась сменить вид спорта, но вскоре под влиянием сестры и её мужа тайно уехала в Красноярск для просмотра, заключив с клубом контракт, а затем вернувшись домой. Своей матери она говорила, что ездит на тренировки, но не говорила, какой вид спорта имелся в виду.

В марте 2013 года, окончив училище олимпийского резерва, Богачёва окончательно уехала в Красноярск, сообщив предварительно матери о своём решении заниматься регби. Ей поступило предложение от тренера клуба «Енисей-СТМ» Максима Зальцмана, и 1 мая 2013 года она стала игроком красноярской команды. Помощь девушке при адаптации в команде оказали Александра Керженцева, Мария Гришина и Екатерина Лифанова, которые к тому моменту уже полгода проживали в Красноярске и играли в регби. В составе регбийной команды Сибирского федерального университета она стала в 2014 году серебряным призёром III летней спартакиады молодёжи России. Зальцман предрекал Богачёвой успешное выступление, заслуживающее вызова в сборные России.

За время выступлений в составе «Енисея-СТМ» Михальцова отметилась победой в чемпионате России по регби-7 в 2017 году, но из-за многочисленных игр за сборную приезжала в клуб преимущественно на решающие матчи туров чемпионатов России. 27 декабря 2019 года Алёна Михальцова и её одноклубница Елена Здрокова приняли решение покинуть «Енисей-СТМ» по истечении контракта. На следующий день Тирон официально перешла в ЦСКА. В связи с операцией, проведённой в 2020 году, и долгим последующим восстановлением она сумела выступить только в двух последних турах чемпионата России, но выиграла в том же году Кубок России. В 2021 году она выиграла в составе «армейцев» и чемпионат России по регби-7, и Кубок России.

Карьера в сборной

Начало карьеры: 2014—2015 годы
В сборную России по регби-7 Богачёва впервые была приглашена в конце 2013 года перед этапом Мировой серии по регби-7 в Дубае, но из-за травмы стопы не поехала. В январе 2014 года она впервые прибыла на сбор национальной команды и, быстро адаптировавшись к условиям, попала в состав на Мировую серию. Командой тогда руководил Павел Барановский, к требованиям которого Богачёва привыкла за один сбор. Дебютную встречу Богачёва провела на этапе Мировой серии в Атланте против Испании. В том же году она выиграла свою первую золотую медаль в сборной, успешно отыграв на обоих этапах чемпионата Европы по регби-7 со сборной России.

В 2015 году в составе российской сборной Алёна Михальцова выступила на  в рамках , где россиянки завоевали серебряные медали: сборная России тогда с большим трудом вышла из группы, попав в четвертьфинале на сборную Австралии, однако, несмотря на усталость и моральную опустошённость, сумели победить, пропустив первую попытку и потом занеся две в ответ. В полуфинале россиянки обыграли Францию, а в финале проиграли новозеландкам. В том же году она стала серебряным призёром чемпионата Европы по регби-7, который был отборочным турниром к Олимпиаде в Рио-де-Жанейро.

В декабре 2015 года на  в рамках  сборная России снова дошла до финала Кубка: на групповом этапе они разгромили новозеландок со счётом 33:7, причём Михальцова занесла попытку в матче, сделав счёт 24:7. Позже россиянки победили Францию (21:17) и Бразилию (41:0). В четвертьфинале ими была обыграна Испания (24:0), в полуфинале — Англия (19:12), а в финале россиянки проиграли Австралии (12:31). Выступавшая в составе сборной Михальцова стала самым результативным игроком этапа и вошла в символическую сборную. Однако она вскоре повредила передние крестообразные связки на колене, из-за чего не играла на последующих этапах.

2016 год
В марте 2016 года стало известно о положительных допинг-пробах Алёны и Алексея Михальцовых: Алёну уличили в употреблении мельдония, который официально был включён в список запрещённых WADA веществ с 1 января 2016 года, вследствие чего её временно отстранили от дальнейших выступлений. Сама спортсменка уверяла, что последний раз подобный препарат принимала в сентябре 2015 года, прекратив его употреблять после того, как WADA анонсировала включение препарата в список запрещённых веществ, и оспорила дисквалификацию, настояв на подробном расшифровке анализа допинг-пробы A. С её слов, во взятой допинг-пробе A было всего 7,5 нанограмм мельдония. 4 мая 2016 года спортивный юрист Артём Пачев сообщил, что с Михальцовой сняли все обвинения в употреблении допинга и полностью оправдали: содержание оказалось в 100 раз меньше допустимого.

По итогам же всего сезона 2015/2016 Мировой серии Михальцова попала в символическую сборную турнира, хотя не играла с этапа в Дубае и участвовала только в сборе в Испании. Хотя история с мельдонием не получила продолжения, после приезда в расположение сборной России, готовившейся в июне 2016 года к  в Дублине, Михальцова на следующий день сломала ногу на тренировке. Во время разминочного упражнения последовал захват ноги, которая ушла на излом: Михальцова испытывала боль при ходьбе, хотя не знала, что случился перелом. Позже врачи установили, что серьёзных опасений нет и что спортсменка может гипотетически восстановиться к олимпийскому квалификационному турниру. Однако Михальцова не успела восстановиться к матчам турнира, а российская сборная, морально не готовая в должной мере к борьбе за путёвку на Олимпиады, потерпела неудачу, проиграв в финале того турнира решающую встречу Испании со счётом 12:19. Отчасти это было объяснимо тем, что в сборную из-за травмы не приехала и Надежда Кудинова. В дальнейшем тренеры сборной вели разговор об этом поражении, напоминая игрокам российской сборной о том, как недооценка соперника может привести к провалу.

Свой второй титул чемпионки Европы Михальцова завоевала в том же году, выступив в сентябре на этапе чемпионата Европы во Франции, а в октябре — в Испании. Зимой 2016 года на этапе Мировой серии  в Дубае, на котором россиянки заняли 3-е место и завоевали бронзовые награды, россиянка стала самым полезным игроком этапа, совершив 23 захвата и 55 успешных действий (в том числе 3 прорыва, 9 оффлодов и свыше 20 владений): в рейтинге она опередила англичанку Наташу Бреннан и ирландку Люси Малхолл.

2017 год

Сезон Мировой серии 2016/2017 принёс россиянкам итоговое 5-е место и квалификацию на чемпионат мира в Сан-Франциско 2018 года. Михальцова была в числе фаворитов на приз MVP (самого ценного игрока) Мировой серии по регби-7 и долго лидировала в общем зачёте. На первых двух этапах в её активе было суммарно 120 очков (41 захват, 13 прорывов, 17 оффлодов и 49 атак с мячом), шедшая второй капитан сборной Ирландии Люси Малхолл имела в активе 108 очков, а на третьем месте была австралийка Шарлотта Кэслик (94 очка). Михальцова к тому моменту была одной из шести российских регбисток, принимавших участие в 10 и более этапах Мировых серий. После трёх этапов лидерство Михальцовой укрепилось, а на четвёртом этапе в Китакюсю она оформила дубль по попыткам в матче против француженок (победа 26:5). Однако на заключительном этапе во Франции она не играла, вследствие чего приз забрала новозеландка Микаэла Блайд. Условия для подобного лидерства складывались на протяжении трёх сезонов Мировой серии подряд.

В июле того же года Михальцова выиграла в третий раз чемпионат Европы, выступив на этапах в Мальморе и Казани: по сумме двух этапов она набрала 112 очков, в том числе 57 во втором туре (11 попыток и реализация). В декабре на  в  она впервые вывела сборную России на поле как капитан: россиянки завоевали бронзовые медали, а Михальцова снова получила приз самого полезного игрока этапа. Она набрала 61 очко благодаря 22 захватам, 9 прорывам, 9 оффлодам и 21 движению с мячом, опередив на 6 баллов японку Тихару Накамура. По итогам года она также была названа лучшей регбисткой страны.

2018 год

По итогам сезона Мировой серии 2017/2018 Михальцова дважды завоёвывала приз самого ценного игрока этапа: ей удалось этого добиться на этапах в Дубае и в Китакюсю. В частности, на этапе в Китакюсю со сборной она заняла 5-е место, занеся 11 попыток, из которых пять были занесены в игре против сборной Англии — подобный рекорд по попыткам за матч прежде ставили новозеландки Микаэла Блайд и Портия Вудман, а также австралийка Эмма Тонегато. Будучи в группе лидеров в борьбе за приз самому полезному игроку Мировой серии, Михальцова в итоге не сумела завоевать его, не сыграв на последнем этапе.

Летом того же года она выступала на чемпионате мира по регби-7 в Сан-Франциско, где российская команда заняла 8-е место. Она сломала кисть перед началом турнира и играла с лангетой на руке, но в первом же матче она занесла попытку, пробежав всё поле: Тирон утверждала, что видела это во сне перед началом турнира. На момент завершения Мировой серии сезона 2017/2018 в активе Алёны были 84 игры и 366 очков (70 попыток), в том числе 22 игры и 134 очка (24 попытки) в сезоне 2017/2018. Осенью того же года Михальцова выиграла со сборной свой четвёртый чемпионат Европы, выступив на этапе в Мальморе (россиянки проиграли француженкам в финале) и в Казани (россиянки победили француженок в финале). Сама победа для российской командой стала пятой за историю выступлений (россиянки потерпели только одно поражение). На первом этапе нового розыгрыша Мировой серии 2018/2019 в Глендейле Михальцова снова выиграла приз самому полезному игроку, набрав 57 очков благодаря 10 захватам, 9 прорывам, 7 оффлодам и 31 атаке с мячом (сборная заняла 7-е место).

2019 год
По ходу сезона 2018/2019 Мировой серии Михальцова завоевала приз самому ценному игроку по итогам : на турнире в Австралии она совершила 39 захватов, 16 прорывов, 14 оффлодов и 77 владений. По итогам этого сезона россиянки стали седьмыми в общем зачёте, а Михальцова получила приз MVP (самого ценного игрока) по совокупности выступлений на всех этапах. На её счету в сезоне 2018/2019 оказалось суммарно 17 попыток (85 очков), 74 захвата, 32 прорыва, 127 атак с мячом (владений) и 26 подкидок (оффлодов), а суммарно это принесло Михальцовой 259 очков.  Тем не менее, сама сборная России ни разу не попала даже в Топ-4, заняв итоговое 7-е место.

В июле того же года Михальцова выступила за сборную на этапах чемпионата Европы в Мальморе и Харькове, одержав с командой суммарную победу по сумме двух этапов: для российской сборной этот титул стал шестым в истории, а для самой регбистки — пятым. Также в составе сборной России она приняла участие в специальном европейском отборочном турнире к Олимпиаде, прошедшем в Казани: россиянки, легко обыгравшие в четвертьфинале итальянок со счётом 44:0, вышли в полуфинал на сборную Испании и мысленно полагали, что без проблем пройдут в финал и сыграют с Францией, своим главным конкурентом. Однако в финал вышла Англия, а россиянки вышли на игру с испанками расслабленными, считая для себя англичанок удобными соперницами, и чуть не проиграли испанкам: именно Михальцова спасла матч, занеся решающую попытку. В финале же россиянки уступили Англии со счётом 0:19, не сумев напрямую попасть на Олимпиаду, но отобравшись на решающий квалификационный турнир в Монако, где разыгрывались ещё две путёвки.

К концу 2019 года всего в активе Алёны Тирон было 133 матча в Мировой серии, в которых Тирон набрала 483 очка (в том числе 93 попытки). Однако в декабре того же года на этапе Мировой серии она повредила колено, дёрнув боковую часть, из-за чего вынуждена была пропустить этап в новозеландском Гамильтоне. Ей требовалась срочная хирургическая операция, однако тренерский штаб долго не решался это сделать, поскольку в таком случае спортсменка рисковала пропустить квалификацию к Олимпиаде в Токио и финальный турнир Игр. Тем не менее, Игры и соответствующие турниры были перенесены с 2020 на 2021 год из-за пандемии COVID-19, и спортсменка сделала необходимую операцию: восстановление заняло полгода.

2021 год: Олимпиада
В 2021 году Тирон выступила в феврале на международном турнире в Испании, организованном специально в связи с отменой розыгрыша этапов Мировой серии, а также сыграла на обоих этапах чемпионата Европы по регби-7 в Лиссабоне и Москве, выиграв шестой титул чемпионки Европы в своей карьере. 19 и 20 июня 2021 года сборная России выступала на решающем , прошедшем в Монако: на турнире разыгрывались две путёвки в Токио. Россиянки уверенно вышли из группы, победив команды Самоа (29:0), Мексики (55:0) и Аргентины (41:7). В четвертьфинале они снова победили Самоа (снова со счётом 29:0), а в полуфинале — Казахстан (38:0), отобравшись на Олимпиаду: после финального свистка в игре против Казахстана они отпраздновали выход, изобразив езду на велосипеде с участием всей команды. Суммарно россиянки выиграли все матчи с общим счётом 195:7. Другим финалистом и обладателем путёвки в Токио стала сборная Франции, финал между этими командами не игрался. В каждой из встреч первого (Самоа и Мексика) и второго игровых дней (Аргентина, Самоа, Казахстан) Тирон заносила по одной попытке.

5 июля того же года Тирон была включена в заявку команды ОКР на Олимпиаду в Токио. На самом турнире россиянки, выступавшие под флагом ОКР, в групповом этапе проиграли Великобритании (12:14), победили Кению (35:12) и проиграли Новой Зеландии (0:33). Заняв 3-е место, по дополнительным показателям они вышли в четвертьфинал олимпийского турнира. Однако по итогам турнира команда ОКР заняла только 8-е место: в четвертьфинале она проиграла новозеландкам 0:36, а в утешительном турнире уступила Австралии (7:35) и Китаю (10:22), причём в игре против Китая они вели со счётом 10:0. На самом турнире Тирон сыграла все шесть матчей и набрала 10 очков, занеся по одной попытке в играх против Кении и Китая.

Итоговый результат стал разочарованием и для самой команды, и для болельщиков: по мнению Тирон, команда либо не смогла набрать должную физическую форму, либо плохо подготовилась тактически. О выступлении без российского флага на Олимпиаде она ещё в конце 2017 года заявила, что у спортсменов нет выбора как такового в этом вопросе, но выступающие должны знать «в душе», какую именно страну они представляют на турнирах. Исполняя на протяжении пяти лет обязанности капитана сборной по регби-7, уже после Олимпиады Тирон доверила капитанскую повязку Надежде Созоновой, а зимой выступила на  Мировой серии в Дубае. Также она выразила желание выступить на Олимпиаде в Париже. По итогам 2021 года она также вошла в символическую сборную России по регби-7.

2022 год
В январе 2022 года Тирон была включена в состав сборной России на , который проходил в Малаге. Для сборной то выступление было осложнено тем, что сразу четыре человека (Елена Здрокова, Надежда Созонова, Асият Алиева и Надежда Медведева) сдали положительные тесты на коронавирус, и в распоряжении команды осталось всего 9 игроков. В игре групповой стадии против Бразилии, завершившейся победой россиянок со счётом 15:10, она занесла свою 100-ю попытку, став второй после Байзат Хамидовой российской регбисткой с этим достижением, а сама российская сборная дошла до финала, победив Австралию со счётом 29:26 и завоевав серебряные медали в финале впервые с 2015 года (поражение от США со счётом 10:35).

В Мировой серии по регби-7 среди женщин по итогам 4-го этапа сезона 2021/2022, состоявшегося в Севилье, в активе Тирон имеются 155 матчей и 558 очков, набранных за счёт 108 попыток и 9 реализаций, а также три жёлтые карточки.

Стиль игры
Антропометрические данные Алёны Тирон — рост 172 см, вес 70 кг. Приседает с весом от 130 до 150 кг, результаты теста по максимальным приседаниям со 100 кг — 28 приседаний. Изначально Тирон играла на краю (позиция винга) и совершала минимум захватов, но позже перешла в центр, где умело делала классные захваты или отыгрывала мяч в борьбе. На первых порах она, несмотря на свою легкоатлетическую подготовку, могла отыграть в полную силу только первый тайм, выдыхаясь уже во втором тайме. Тем не менее, достаточно быстрое попадание в сборную России позволило спортсменке научиться играть весь матч, а по ходу карьеры она развивала плечевой пояс.

Тирон характеризовалась клубом «Енисей-СТМ» как универсальный игрок, сочетающий силу, скорость и хорошую координацию движений. Как бывшая легкоатлетка, предпочитает столкновения на скоростях, борьбу и защиту. С тактической точки зрения, считает важной командную игру в каждом матче: она предпочитает отдать пас партнёру, который поддерживает её во время атаки, чем пробежать самой к зачётной зоне. Своей лучшей напарницей она называет Елену Здрокову, которую сама и привела в регби: с ней у Тирон налажено взаипомонимание в сборной, которое часто выражается в успешных результативных пасах Тирон на Здрокову. Самыми сложными моментами в игре Тирон называла ситуации, когда игрок «идёт на передний», а его встречают два защитника, или когда игрок в момент приёма паса уже находится в контакте с противником. Считает трудолюбие, честность и характер тремя главнейшими качествами спортсмена.

Личная жизнь
Мать по образованию — математик, пишет стихи. Есть старшая сестра, также занимавшаяся лёгкой атлетикой, и племянница. Сама Тирон окончила Новосибирский государственный педагогический университет, факультет физической культуры. Является членом редакционного совета журнала «Rugby».

Первый муж — регбист Алексей Михальцов, винг клуба «Енисей-СТМ», в прошлом также легкоатлет. Второй муж — Илья Тирон (род. 1 июля 1990 года), менеджер по развитию детско-юношеского регби Федерации регби России; в прошлом игрок московского «Торпедо» и видеоаналитик сборной России, проработавший более 8 лет на этом посту. С Ильёй Алёна познакомилась в 2015 году, а предложение руки и сердца Илья сделал своей возлюбленной в виде нескольких квест-сюрпризов с привлечением профессиональных актёров. Свадьба состоялась 12 октября 2019 года в главном зале Большого Царицынского дворца. Супруги проживают в Зеленограде.

Тирон отличается на поле яркой внешностью, особенно своими разноцветными косами: впервые она сделала такую причёску на турнире в Дубае, покрасив себе волосы, а на этапе чемпионата Европы 2018 года в Казани заплела длинные косы, впечатлив этим самым и зрителей, и телекомментаторов. Косы она заплетает перед матчами и контактными тренировками: ей это делали изначально сестра и племянница, а потом этим занялась Дарья Норицина. По признанию самой Тирон, в первом же таком матче её попытались схватить за косы, а после турнира она ещё неделю носила их. Результативные действия в игре отмечает, жестом показывая букву «Т» и сердечко. Дружит с Еленой Здроковой. Сделала несколько татуировок.

Любимый фильм — «Один дома». Любимая книга — «7 навыков высокоэффективных людей» (автор Стивен Кови). Смотрит соревнования по биатлону, также следит за лёгкой атлетикой и волейболом, на сборах вяжет спицами. Снималась для календаря «Игра Чемпионов» на 2021 год.

Ett klimatneutralt och hållbart Europa 2050 kräver ett svenskt, nordiskt och europeiskt elnät som effektivt kan integrera stora mängder förnybar elproduktion, samtidigt som har hög tillförlitlighet, tillgänglighet, effektivitet och säkerhet.
Forskning på KTH avdelningen för elektriska energisystem omfattar utveckling och tillämpning av metoder för analys, simulering och styrning av el-och integrerade energisystem. Viktiga aspekter inkluderar beslutskriterier, tillförlitlighet, säkerhet och marknadsdesign . Studerade system omfattar produktion, överföring, distribution och användning av elenergi i tillägg till drift och planering av elektriska kraftsystem. Ett viktigt område är kopplingen mellan det fysiska kraftsystemet och beteendet hos aktörerna på elmarknaden.

NRC to Operate at a Reduced Level Due to Lapse of Agency Appropriations
October 9, 2013 | Insights | Nuclear Update Site
Filter By Nuclear Update Blog
The NRC has issued a regulatory issue summary, RIS 2013-16, "Interactions Between the NRC and NRC Stakeholders During a Lapse of Agency Appropriations," and a supplement, RIS 2013-16 Supplement 1 to notify addressees that NRC appropriations no longer support normal operations and the NRC will be operating at a reduced level. This RIS requires no action or written response on the part of an addressee.
In RIS 2013-16, the NRC informed addressees about how to communicate and interact with the NRC during the Federal Government shutdown. The NRC also advised addressees to share the information in the RIS with its employees and contractors so they understand that the NRC is still able to receive safety and security concerns or incidents involving fraud, waste, or abuse by an NRC employee or contractor by calling the hotlines identified on NRC Form 3. In RIS 2013-16, the NRC stated that when NRC appropriations no longer support normal operations, the NRC will operate at a reduced level in a minimal maintenance and monitoring mode. The NRC will continue to carry out its responsibility to protect the health and safety of the public. RIS 2013-16 listed the NRC functions that will be provided during the entire length of the Federal Government shutdown. The RIS also provided NRC contact information for addressees with urgent business.
Supplement 1 explains that as of October 9, 2013, no new appropriation or continuing resolution had been passed to allow NRC to continue normal operations. Since NRC appropriations no longer support normal operations, the NRC has entered into a reduced operating level status and for some period of time will only perform minimal maintenance and monitoring necessary to carry out the NRC's responsibility to protect the health and safety of the public. As stated in RIS 2013-16, a small core of employees (including the resident inspectors and Headquarters Operations Officers) will remain on duty to monitor licensee activities and carry on the minimum activities necessary to protect the health and safety of the public and provide essential services.

About TWiC
This Week In Chiptune is a podcast featuring underground electronic music from around the world. The show was produced and hosted by Dj CUTMAN, and ran from 2013 to 2017. All 200 episodes were streamed lived, and made available as a Podcast after the broadcast. The show featured nearly a thousand indie electronic musicians, and each episode features an annotated track-list and download links when available.
The entire This Week in Chiptune archive can be streamed on YouTube and downloaded via Soundcloud. It is also available as a Podcast from Apple and Microsoft.
TWiC is an anthology of the underground electronic music sometimes referred to as 8-bit, lofi, bitpop, chiptunes or chip-music. It's unique to other forms of electronica because of how it's created, often using simple synthesizers and software called a Tracker. Today, Chiptune instrumentation can be heard everywhere, from radio anthems to hit video games.
Starting in 2019, Dj CUTMAN will be curating new chiptune releases on Spotify, through this new chiptune playlist. New music will be added each week, and even if you don't use Spotify, the playlist will serve as a catalog of the best tracks from scene veterans and chiptune newcomers. Learn more about TWiC on Spotify.
