Der Zentrale Omnibusbahnhof (ZOB) Magdeburg liegt in Sachsen-Anhalts Landeshauptstadt Magdeburg. Er wird durch die Magdeburger Verkehrsbetriebe betrieben.

Lage
Der Omnibusbahnhof liegt am Verkehrsknotenpunkt Damaschkeplatz in der Innenstadt Magdeburgs. Dort befindet sich der zentrale Umsteigeplatz für den ÖPNV in Magdeburg, an dem sich diverse Straßenbahnlinien und innerstädtische Buslinien der MVB treffen (Haltestelle "Damaschkeplatz/ZOB"). Des Weiteren liegt östlich der Hauptbahnhof Magdeburg, welcher über den Konrad-Adenauer-Platz durch den Westeingang zu erreichen ist. Der Hauptbahnhof ist der wichtigste Knotenpunkt im Bahnverkehr im nördlichen Sachsen-Anhalt. Somit ist der ZOB ein Bestandteil der Schnittstelle zwischen Bahn, Straßenbahn und Bus in Magdeburg.

Der Omnibusbahnhof ist über die daneben gelegenen Auf- und Abfahrten zum Magdeburger Ring (B 71) an die A 2 und die A 14 angebunden. Nördlich läuft die Ernst-Reuter-Allee als eine der Hauptverkehrsadern der Innenstadt für den Straßenverkehr aus den westlichen Stadtteilen am ZOB vorbei. Dort wird seit 2015 ein Tunnelbauwerk errichtet, was zu umfangreichen Straßensperrungen über mehrere Jahre führt. Von Süden kommen ist der ZOB über die Maybachstraße mit benutzungspflichtigem Zweirichtungsradweg erreichbar. Eigene Fahrrad- und Autoparkplätze für den Zubringer- und Abholerverkehr sind nicht vorhanden, jedoch befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nähe die entsprechenden Einrichtungen des Hauptbahnhofs.

Beschreibung

Der 2003 fertiggestellte Busbahnhof verfügt über sieben überdachte Bussteige, auf denen jährlich rund 260.000 Reisende ankommen und abfahren. Diese verfügen über Sitzmöglichkeiten und digitale Anzeigetafeln.

Außerdem befindet sich neben Bussteig 1 die geschlossene Wartehalle mit Informations- und Fahrkartenschalter. Für ankommende Busse existiert ein weiterer Bussteig, jedoch ohne Überdachung und Sitzmöglichkeiten.

Anbindung im Busnetz

Innerstädtischer Verkehr
Im innerstädtischen Verkehr bedient der Omnibusbahnhof lediglich die Linie 59 in den Stadtpark.

Regionalbusverkehr
Mit etwa 350 An- und Abfahrten durch 14 Buslinien bildet der Busbahnhof einen wichtigen Knotenpunkt im regionalen Busverkehr. Zu den Busverkehrsgesellschaften gehören die BördeBus Verkehrsgesellschaft, die Nahverkehrsgesellschaft Jerichower Land, die Personenverkehrsgesellschaft Altmarkkreis-Salzwedel und die Kreisverkehrsgesellschaft Salzland. Seit dem 12. Dezember 2010 existiert für Magdeburg und die anliegenden Landkreise der Verkehrsverbund marego, wodurch Umstiege auf andere Fahrzeuge des ÖPNV erleichtert wurden.

Fernbusverkehr
Neben den bestehenden Verbindungen gibt es außerdem weitere Reise-, Ausflugs- und Gelegenheitsverbindungen nach Paris, Minsk, London und Budapest. Seit 2013 fahren den ZOB in Magdeburg auf Bussteig 6 und 7 diverse Fernbuslinien verschiedener Busgesellschaften an. Fahrten in über 60 europäische Städte wurden dort angeboten, darunter Städte wie Amsterdam, Berlin, Den Haag, Hamburg, München, Prag, Rotterdam und Warschau.

Aktuell halten Fernbusse der Unternehmen Ecolines, Flixbus und Union Ivkoni am ZOB Magdeburg. Innerdeutsche Fernbusverbindungen werden hier nur noch von Flixbus angeboten.

Solid state synthesis and characterization of n–p (SnO2)1.3/(α ∼ Bi2O3)x/(β ∼ Bi2O3)1−x photocatalyst modulated by PVA and its photocatalytic performance
Taoyu Qiu, Weiwei Zhu, Shaoyou Liu, Kao Chen, Siliang Liang, Qingge Feng

A kind of n–p (SnO2)1.3/(α ∼ Bi2O3)x/(β ∼ Bi2O3)1−x nanocomposite (SB-15) was synthesized with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a template by solid state synthesis. XRD and HR-TEM confirmed the formation of n–p (SnO2)1.3/(α ∼ Bi2O3)x/(β ∼ Bi2O3)1−x. Particle size is found to be about 18 nm from HR-TEM images. FE-SEM clearly detected the boundary between SnO2 nanoparticles and Bi2O3 polyhedron particles. The special morphology and coexisting of α-Bi2O3 and β-Bi2O3 in SB-15 make it have a stronger visible light absorption range as far as 725 nm. PL and photocurrent test shows that the SB-15 has the best photocarriers separation capability. About 99% decolorization ratio of Rh.B was achieved in only 5 min. About 70% Cr6+ was degraded within 20 min and it is about 60% for tetracycline in the coexisting system (Te with Cr6+ solution), introducing it as a promising photocatalytic material. This work has addressed the method of phase-selective synthesis of n–p SnO2/α ∼ Bi2O3/β ∼ Bi2O3 by convenient solid state synthesis, which should be useful for the studies of other composites.

Direct determination of barrier height (ΦBH) value between Ir and single crystal (001) hydrogen-terminated diamond with lightly boron doped has been performed using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy technique. 70 nm Ir islands were formed on hydrogen-terminated diamond surface using anodic aluminum oxide. The ΦBH value for Ir/hydrogen-terminated diamond was −0.43 ± 0.14 eV, indicating that Ir was a suitable metal for ohmic contact with hydrogen-terminated diamond. The band diagram of Ir/hydrogen-terminated diamond was obtained. The experimental ΦBH was compared with the theoretical ΦBH in this work.

Journal: Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of The Royal Society of Edinburgh / Volume 109 / Issue 3-4 / June 2019
Study of the residues of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) can assist with the assessment of the contamination level, distribution, sources, transportation and trends in these selected OCPs. We investigated the concentration levels of hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), chlordane, which is currently used, and the never-used aldrin and dieldrin in the Ningbo region – a heavily industrialised and urbanised area in East China. OCPs were found in all soil samples and were predominantly composed of HCHs, DDT and its metabolites. The concentration of DDTs in the soil ranged from 2.2 to 566.6ngg–1, with a mean value of 55.6±94.8ngg–1, while the concentration of HCHs ranged from 2.7 to 28.2ngg–1, with an average of 4.6±2.9ngg–1. Aldrin, dieldrin, endrin and heptachlor were detected at much lower concentrations. The wide distribution of these never-used OCPs indicates that they have been input via long-range atmospheric processes. The results from analysis suggest that HCHs and DDTs were mainly derived from use in historical times.
Multivariate Constrained GNSS Real-time Full Attitude Determination Based on Attitude Domain Search
Hongtao Wu, Xiubin Zhao, Chunlei Pang, Liang Zhang, Bo Feng
Journal: The Journal of Navigation / Volume 72 / Issue 2 / March 2019
A priori attitude information can improve the success rate and reliability of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) multi-antennae attitude determination. However, a priori attitude information is nonlinear, and integrating a priori information into the objective function rigorously will increase the complexity of an ambiguity domain search, such as the Multivariate Constrained-Least-squares Ambiguity Decorrelation Adjustment (MC-LAMBDA) method. In this paper, a new method based on attitude domain search is presented to make use of the a priori attitude angle information with high efficiency. First, the a priori information of pitch and roll is integrated into the search process to derive the analytic search step for attitude angle, and the integer candidates are determined by traversal search in the three-dimensional attitude domain. Then, the objective function is parameterised with Euler angles, and a non-iterative approximate method is utilised to simplify the iterative computation in calculating objective function values. Experimental results reveal that compared to the MC-LAMBDA method, our new method has the same success rate and reliability, but higher efficiency in making use of a priori attitude information.
Performance Evaluation of Kinematic BDS/GNSS Real-Time Precise Point Positioning for Maritime Positioning
Fuxin Yang, Lin Zhao, Liang Li, Shaojun Feng, Jianhua Cheng
Journal: The Journal of Navigation / Volume 72 / Issue 1 / January 2019
Real-time Precise Point Positioning (PPP) has been evolved as a cost-effective technique for highly precise maritime positioning. For a long period, maritime PPP technology has mainly relied on the Global Positioning System (GPS). With the revitalisation of GLONASS and the emerging BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS), it is now feasible to investigate real-time navigation performance of multi-constellation maritime PPP with GPS, BDS and GLONASS. In this contribution, we focus on maritime PPP performance using real world maritime kinematic data and real-time satellite correction products. The results show that BDS has lower position accuracy and slower convergence time than GPS. The BDS and GPS combination has the best performance among the dual-constellation configurations. Meanwhile, the integration of BDS, GLONASS and GPS significantly improves the position accuracy and the convergence time. Some outliers in the single constellation configuration can be mitigated when multi-constellation observations are utilised.

(1 − x)Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3–xBa(Co1/3Nb2/3)O3 (BMT–BCN, x = 0.0, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.40) ceramics were prepared using the traditional solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction patterns have shown that the intensities of (001) and (100) super-lattices decrease with the increase in the BCN content. Seven main Raman vibrational modes are observed, assigned, and illustrated, in particular. Raman shifts of Eg(O) modes and the FWHM values of F2g(O)/A1g(O) modes have close relationship with the dielectric properties. The calculated values by the four-parameter semiquantum model based on IR reflectivity match well with the measured data (@3.8 GHz), which means that most of dielectric contribution to the system may be ascribed to the absorption of structural phononic oscillations at the infrared region, and the contribution from the scattering of the defective phonons is small. The contributions of each vibrational mode on the dielectric responses were investigated in detail, indicating that the low-frequency modes (A2u(1) and Eu(1)) have a decisive role to the dielectric properties.
Perfluorocarbon-based nanomedicine: emerging strategy for diagnosis and treatment of diseases
Tingbin Zhang, Qian Zhang, Jian-Hua Tian, Jin-Feng Xing, Weisheng Guo, Xing-Jie Liang
Journal: MRS Communications / Volume 8 / Issue 2 / June 2018
Nanotechnology has been considered as a promising strategy for diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. However, the stability and circulation times of the conventional nano-carriers, such as liposomes and micelles, are still unsatisfied. Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are biologic inert synthetic materials, which are highly hydrophobic and have a tendency to self-aggregation. Additionally, PFCs themselves can act as 19F magnetic resonance imaging agents and oxygen carriers. Thus, the construction of the fluorinated carriers will not only improve the stability of the carriers, but also endow them with additional functions. Here we review the recent advances of PFC-based nanosystems for diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
A Tesla-type long-pulse generator with wide flat-top width based on a double-width pulse-forming line
Sheng Liu, Jian-Cang Su, Xibo Zhang, Ya-Feng Pan, Hong-Yan Fan, Xu-Liang Fan
Journal: Laser and Particle Beams / Volume 36 / Issue 1 / March 2018
To produce pulses with good flat-top quality, pulse-forming lines (PFLs) have been widely used in the field of Tesla-type pulse generators. To shorten the physical length of the PFL, a double-width PFL (DWPFL) is proposed that doubles the output pulse width while maintaining flat-top quality. A repetitively 10 GW Tesla-type long-pulse generator producing pulses with flat-top width of about 110 ns was developed with a coaxial DWPFL to produce high-current electron beams. Electron beams of about 10 GW with flat-top widths of about 110 ns were obtained on a planar vacuum diode load. With this pulse generator and a C-band high-power microwave system, microwaves of ~2.2 GW power and full-width at half-maximum of 101 ns were generated. The experiment demonstrates the feasibility and ideal output waveform quality of the DWPFL.

Hot deformation behaviors of a new hot isostatically pressed nickel based powder metallurgy superalloy
Guoai He, Feng Liu, Lan Huang, Liang Jiang
Journal: Journal of Materials Research / Volume 31 / Issue 22 / 28 November 2016
Print publication: 28 November 2016
Hot compression tests of a hot isostatically pressed (HIPed) Ni based powder metallurgy (P/M) superalloy were carried out under various combinations of temperatures and strain rates. To bridge the relationship between stresses and strain rates, constitutive equations were established based on a hyperbolic sine Arrhenius equation, which yielded predicted stresses under the test conditions. It was found that the predict values fit the experimental values with good accuracy. Processing maps of the alloy under the test conditions were established; and the corresponding microstructures after test were examined to elaborate the workability of the alloy. It revealed that surface cracks occurred when strain was higher than 0.25, which initiated at the prior powder boundaries (PPBs) and propagated along the boundaries. The optimum hot working parameters for the alloy were proposed to beat the strain rate of 0.014 s−1 and 1075 °C.

Journal: Journal of Materials Research / Volume 31 / Issue 20 / 28 October 2016
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 October 2016, pp. 3249-3254
Print publication: 28 October 2016
SrZrO3 ceramic with perovskite-type structure was synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction method at 1500 °C for 3 h. The crystal structures were studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD), and lattice vibrational modes were obtained by Raman and Fourier transform far-infrared (FTIR) reflection spectroscopy. The dielectric properties of the samples were also measured. According to XRD data, the SrZrO3 ceramic displayed the orthorhombic structure Pbnm (62). The Raman spectrum with ten active vibrators can be fitted by the Lorentzian function, and the vibrators were assigned. Far-infrared spectrum with six infrared active modes was fitted by the four-parameter semiquantum models. Consequently, the modes were assigned as F1u (1) (102 cm−1), F2u (2) (120 cm−1), F1u (3) (140 cm−1), F3u (4)′ (228 cm−1), F3u (4)″ (287 cm−1), F1u (5) (326 cm−1), and F1u (6) (527 cm−1). The infrared mode F1u (1), that can be represented as the Sr–ZrO6 inverted translational vibration, has the highest contribution to the dielectric properties (permittivity and dielectric loss). The calculated data agree well with the measured values.
Practical Techniques in Ghost Fluid Method for Compressible Multi-Medium Flows
MSC 2010: Two-phase and multiphase flows
MSC 2010: Probabilistic methods, simulation and stochastic differential equations
MSC 2010: Hyperbolic equations and systems
Liang Xu, Chengliang Feng, Tiegang Liu
The modified ghost fluid method (MGFM), due to its reasonable treatment for ghost fluid state, has been shown to be robust and efficient when applied to compressible multi-medium flows. Other feasible definitions of the ghost fluid state, however, have yet to be systematically presented. By analyzing all possible wave structures and relations for a multi-medium Riemann problem, we derive all the conditions to define the ghost fluid state. Under these conditions, the solution in the real fluid region can be obtained exactly, regardless of the wave pattern in the ghost fluid region. According to the analysis herein, a practical ghost fluid method (PGFM) is proposed to simulate compressible multi-medium flows. In contrast with the MGFM where three degrees of freedomat the interface are required to define the ghost fluid state, only one degree of freedomis required in this treatment. However, when these methods proved correct in theory are used in computations for the multi-medium Riemann problem, numerical errors at the material interface may be inevitable. We show that these errors are mainly induced by the single-medium numerical scheme in essence, rather than the ghost fluid method itself. Equipped with some density-correction techniques, the PGFM is found to be able to suppress these unphysical solutions dramatically.

Yi-Feng Su, Jin G. Park, Ana Koo, Sarah Trayner, Ayou Hao, Rebekah Downes, Richard Liang
Journal: Microscopy and Microanalysis / Volume 22 / Issue 3 / June 2016
Functionalization is critical for improving mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/polymer nanocomposites. A fundamental understanding of the role of the CNT/polymer interface and bonding structure is key to improving functionalization procedures for higher mechanical performance. In this study, we investigated the effects of chemical functionalization on the nanocomposite interface at atomic resolution to provide direct and quantifiable information of the interactions and interface formation between CNT surfaces and adjacent resin molecules. We observed and compared electronic structures and their changes at the interfaces of nonfunctionalized and functionalized CNT/polymer nanocomposite samples via scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) spectrum imaging techniques. The results show that the state of sp 2 bonding and its distribution at the CNT/resin interface can be clearly visualized through EELS mapping. We found that the functionalized CNT/polymer samples exhibited a lower fraction of sp 2 bonding and a lower π*/σ* ratio compared with the nonfunctionalized cases. A good correlation between near-edge fine structures and low-loss plasmon energies was observed.
Signal Biases Calibration for Precise Orbit Determination of the Chinese Area Positioning System using SLR and C-Band Transfer Ranging Observations
Cao Fen, Yang Xuhai, Li Zhigang, Chen Liang, Feng Chugang
Journal: The Journal of Navigation / Volume 69 / Issue 6 / November 2016
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 April 2016, pp. 1234-1246
In C-Band transfer measuring systems, the Precise Orbit Determination (POD) precision of Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites is limited by signal biases such as the station delay biases, transponder delay biases, the ionospheric delay model bias, etc. In order to improve the POD precision, the signal biases of the Chinese Area Positioning System (CAPS) are calibrated using Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) and C-Band Transfer Ranging (CBTR) observations. Since the Changchun SLR site and C-Band station are close to each other, the signal biases of the Changchun C-Band station are calibrated using the co-location comparison method. Then the signal biases of the other two CAPS C-Band stations, located in Linton and Kashi, are calibrated using the combined POD method, with the signal biases of the Changchun C-Band station being fixed. After the signal biases are calibrated, the RMS of the line-of-sight residuals of the Changchun SLR observations decrease by 0·4 m, with the percentage improvement being 75·19%.
Identification of a late Quaternary alluvial–aeolian sedimentary sequence in the Sichuan Basin, China
Jin-Liang Feng, Jian-Ting Ju, Feng Chen, Zhao-Guo Hu, Xiang Zhao, Shao-Peng Gao
Journal: Quaternary Research / Volume 85 / Issue 2 / March 2016
The late Quaternary sedimentary sequence in the northwestern part of the Sichuan Basin consists of five lithological units and with increasing depth include the: Chengdu Clay; Brown Clay; Red Clay; Sandy Silt; and basal Muddy Gravel. The genesis, provenance and age of the sediments, as well as the possible presence of hiatuses within this sequence are debated. Measurements of grain-size, magnetic susceptibility, quartz content, quartz δ18O values, element composition, and Sr–Nd isotopic concentrations of samples from a typical sedimentary sequence in the area provides new insights into the genesis and history of the sequence. The new data confirm that the sediments in study site are alluvial–aeolian in origin, with basal alluvial deposits overlain by aeolian deposits. Like the uppermost Chengdu Clay, the underlying Brown Clay and Red Clay are aeolian in origin. In contrast, the Silty Sand, like the basal Muddy Gravel, is an alluvial deposit and not an aeolian deposit as previously thought. Moreover, the succession of the aeolian deposits very likely contains two significant sedimentary hiatuses. Sedimentological analysis demonstrates that the source materials for the aeolian deposits in the northwestern part of the Sichuan Basin and those on the eastern Tibetan Plateau are different. Furthermore, the loess deposits on the eastern Tibetan Plateau are derived from heterogeneous local sources.
Dietary supplementation with β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate calcium during the early postnatal period accelerates skeletal muscle fibre growth and maturity in intra-uterine growth-retarded and normal-birth-weight piglets
Haifeng Wan, Jiatao Zhu, Guoqi Su, Yan Liu, Lun Hua, Liang Hu, Caimei Wu, Ruinan Zhang, Pan Zhou, Yong Shen, Yan Lin, Shengyu Xu, Zhengfeng Fang, Lianqiang Che, Bin Feng, De Wu
Journal: British Journal of Nutrition / Volume 115 / Issue 8 / 28 April 2016
Intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) impairs postnatal growth and skeletal muscle development in neonatal infants. This study evaluated whether dietary β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate Ca (HMB-Ca) supplementation during the early postnatal period could improve muscle growth in IUGR neonates using piglets as a model. A total of twelve pairs of IUGR and normal-birth-weight (NBW) male piglets with average initial weights (1·85 (sem 0·36) and 2·51 (sem 0·39) kg, respectively) were randomly allotted to groups that received milk-based diets (CON) or milk-based diets supplemented with 800 mg/kg HMB-Ca (HMB) during days 7–28 after birth. Blood and longissimus dorsi (LD) samples were collected and analysed for plasma amino acid content, fibre morphology and the expression of genes related to muscle development. The results indicate that, regardless of diet, IUGR piglets had a significantly decreased average daily weight gain (ADG) compared with that of NBW piglets (P<0·05). However, IUGR piglets fed HMB-Ca had a net weight and ADG similar to that of NBW piglets fed the CON diet. Irrespective of body weight (BW), HMB-Ca supplementation markedly increased the type II fibre cross-sectional area and the mRNA expression of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), insulin-like growth factor-1 and myosin heavy-chain isoform IIb in the LD of piglets (P<0·05). Moreover, there was a significant interaction between the effects of BW and HMB on mTOR expression in the LD (P<0·05). In conclusion, HMB-Ca supplementation during the early postnatal period could improve skeletal muscle growth and maturity by accelerating fast-twitch glycolytic fibre development in piglets.
Effect of intranasal steroids on rhinosinusitis after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma: clinical study
S Feng, Y Fan, Z Liang, G Yang, Z Liao, L Guo
Journal: The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 130 / Issue 3 / March 2016
Post-irradiation rhinosinusitis is one of the most common untoward side effects in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of fluticasone propionate aqueous nasal spray on post-irradiation rhinosinusitis.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who had undergone radiotherapy and subsequently developed chronic rhinosinusitis were randomised to receive either fluticasone propionate aqueous nasal spray 200 µg plus nasal irrigation or a single nasal irrigation, for six months. A questionnaire, nasal endoscopy and computed tomography were used to evaluate rhinosinusitis severity, at the beginning of treatment, and at three and six months after treatment.
The group who received fluticasone propionate aqueous nasal spray combined with irrigation had fewer nasal complaints (overall symptoms, blocked nose and headache were reduced), a better quality of life and less severe endoscopic findings than those who only received nasal irrigation at three and six months after treatment.
Nasal steroids are a safe and effective therapy for patients with post-irradiation rhinosinusitis.
Successful ablation of incessant idiopathic right ventricular tachycardia arising from unusual sites in children
Lin Wu, Hong Tian, Feng Wang, Xuecun Liang, Gang Chen
Journal: Cardiology in the Young / Volume 26 / Issue 4 / April 2016
Most idiopathic right ventricular tachycardias originate from the outflow tract. We present a case series of idiopathic incessant ventricular tachycardia arising from unusual sites of the right ventricle in children, which were well resolved by catheter ablation.
A retrospective review was performed of all three patients who underwent ablation of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia below the level of the right ventricular outflow tract using three-dimensional mapping in our institute.
All three patients presented with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy due to incessant ventricular tachycardia on first admission. The sites of successful ablation were at the proximal right bundle branch, distal right bundle branch, and apex of the right ventricle, respectively. No complications occurred, and there has been no recurrence of ventricular tachycardia after the final ablation at an average follow-up period of 9 months. All three patients have achieved normalisation of left ventricular size and systolic function.
Incessant idiopathic ventricular tachycardia originating from unusual sites of the right ventricle in children, resulting in significant symptoms and impaired ventricular function, can be successfully treated with catheter ablation.
Is the clouded leopard Neofelis nebulosa extinct in Taiwan, and could it be reintroduced? An assessment of prey and habitat
Po-Jen Chiang, Kurtis Jai-Chyi Pei, Michael R. Vaughan, Ching-Feng Li, Mei-Ting Chen, Jian-Nan Liu, Chung-Yi Lin, Liang-Kong Lin, Yu-Ching Lai
Journal: Oryx / Volume 49 / Issue 2 / April 2015
During 1997–2012 we conducted a nationwide camera-trapping survey and assessed the availability of prey and habitat for the clouded leopard Neofelis nebulosa in Taiwan. We surveyed 1,249 camera-trap sites over 113,636 camera-trap days, from the seashore to an altitude of 3,796 m and covering various types of vegetation. No clouded leopards were photographed during 128,394 camera-trap days, including at 209 sites in other studies, confirming the presumed extinction of clouded leopards in Taiwan. Assessment of the prey base revealed altitudinal distribution patterns of prey species and prey biomass. Areas at lower altitudes and with less human encroachment and hunting supported a higher prey biomass and more of the typical prey species of clouded leopards. Habitat analysis revealed 8,523 km2 of suitable habitat but this was reduced to 6,734 km2 when adjacent areas of human encroachment were subtracted. In the absence of hunting and large mammalian carnivores the major prey of clouded leopards in Taiwan, such as Formosan macaques Macaca cyclopis, Reeves's muntjacs Muntiacus reevesi, Formosan serow Capricornis swinhoei and sambar Rusa unicolor, could become over-abundant. Thus, it is important to address the cascading effect of the disappearance of top-down predator control. Our assessment indicated that, with proper regulation of hunting, habitat restoration and corridor improvement, it may be possible to reintroduce the clouded leopard.
New Splitting Methods for Convection-Dominated Diffusion Problems and Navier-Stokes Equations
Feng Shi, Guoping Liang, Yubo Zhao, Jun Zou
We present a new splitting method for time-dependent convention-dominated diffusion problems. The original convention diffusion system is split into two sub-systems: a pure convection system and a diffusion system. At each time step, a convection problem and a diffusion problem are solved successively. A few important features of the scheme lie in the facts that the convection subproblem is solved explicitly and multistep techniques can be used to essentially enlarge the stability region so that the resulting scheme behaves like an unconditionally stable scheme; while the diffusion subproblem is always self-adjoint and coercive so that they can be solved efficiently using many existing optimal preconditioned iterative solvers. The scheme can be extended for solving the Navier-Stokes equations, where the nonlinearity is resolved by a linear explicit multistep scheme at the convection step, while only a generalized Stokes problem is needed to solve at the diffusion step and the major stiffness matrix stays invariant in the time marching process. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the stability, convergence and performance of the single-step and multistep variants of the new scheme.

Ask just about any casual passerby to name a luxury watch and fine piano and you'll hear two names – Rolex and Steinway. But are these brands really snob worthy?
To be an authentic snob, one must have invested at least some time into one or several interests of the plethora of possibilities in the world today. Getting information about nearly anything is so implicit that the time to enhance your life with some of the finer things is certainly now. Finer dining experiences are common to just about anyone – to the point where many of you no longer even consider ordering fried cheese sticks! Wine enthusiasts are everywhere – beer has come a long way in the U.S. since the 70s. There is now literally a muck of high-end items in just about every category – cigars, golf clubs, bikes, hi-fidelity stereo equipment – that one can allow oneself to get all swept up about.
Most things have benefited in some way from the digital age – design modifications, precision manufacturing. But others have struggled more – what's the point of hooking up an iPod with a song ripped at (compression rate) 128kbs to a hi-end sound system?
Some items, in fact the ones that can't be compromised by the digital age, are the ones in which collecting and honing your interest seems most acceptable. Shotguns come to mind. My brother Terry (Terry Allen Photography) is a shotgun enthusiast and collects double-guns (double barrel) from mostly English makers (no automatics in this lot). The craftsmanship of these weapons and the intricate detail of the engravings have made these guns a perfect item to become a snob about. They boast both hand-made precision and craftsmanship, but also artisanship in the engravings. And along with shotgun collecting comes the hunting ritual itself (see my Pheasant Hunting – North Dakota post). On our recent trip, I was shooting a Westley Richards from the 1920s and the other guns with us were a Purdey (James Purdey and Sons) and Woodward (James Woodward and Sons). There was an argument as to whether the gun I was shooting was worth $7,000 or $15,000. And it was the cheap one. Talk about crazy.
Terry's passion has at least allowed him to propel himself into a spot as one of the world's top gun photographers. He's paid to do things like books with English gun makers and photograph trips with wealthy gun and hunting enthusiasts. But the guns he photographs aren't mass-produced. They're custom-made, mostly by hand by skilled craftsmen, with all precision mechanical parts. According to Wikipedia, a new Purdey custom-made shotgun starts around $100,000. As you might imagine, not many of these guns are produced each year. Add the craftsmanship and artistry and you begin to understand the price and why these instruments and the industry itself is such an amazing tradition. You may also guess, that remaining in business selling $100,000 guns in this global economy no matter how incredible can be a challenge. Fortunately, the very wealthy remain very wealthy. And so many of the world's oldest and most prestigious gun-makers remain in business.
And fortunately for Terry, when a gun costs that much, it needs to be photographed and so does the person who owns it. In fact, he needs to be photographed shooting it, on a hunt, somewhere exotic. Next thing you know, you're going. Interesting stuff.
Watches and pianos are both very similar to shotguns in my view – hand made (but not always), purely mechanical, precision instruments, works of art. In the case of a piano, there are over 12,000 moving parts. In fact, a piano is arguably the champion of most moving parts for a purely mechanical device (no electricity driven components). A wristwatch on the other hand, I read can have up to about 1,200 parts, but that's a lot considering the size. I recently bought both and will share what I learned.
As I said before, ask just about any casual passerby to name a luxury watch and fine piano and you'll hear two names – Rolex and Steinway. And unlike the answer you might get with shotguns (wonder what you'd hear, Remington?), both Rolex and Steinway are deserving of their place in the mind of the consumer – top brands, fine quality. But both Rolex and Steinway have done what most other companies only wish they could do, both deliver the goods and win the marketing and advertising game with consumers. Steinway has done it through their artist program and by doing programs with top music schools and universities. Rolex has done it through advertisements and other publicity events such as the first woman to (almost) cross the English Channel and the first summit of Mount Everest, and sponsorships of prestigious events such as Wimbledon and the Australian Open tennis tournaments as well as product placements in James Bond movies and television (such as 24 with Kiefer Sutherland).
Piano makers are having a harder time of it these days. Cheap digitals along with pressure from Asia, in particular Chinese manufacturing, mass producing pianos with lower labor, assembly line efficiency and less reliance on craftsmanship has hurt the big European makers, not to mention owning a piano means someone has to know how to play it. Contrast that with the fact that almost any person would wear a wristwatch – and there's no learning involved.
On my most recent birthday, I was approached by my wife who wanted to get me a fine watch to commemorate the event. With only a few weeks before the big day, there was a lot to learn beyond Rolex. I'm the kind of guy who prefers to be just a little different you see. So a Rolex would be too easy. But what do you need to know about watches? Fine watches are certainly works for art, and without some appreciation of the history or artistry of a particular maker, you may not have enough to justify the price alone.
Accuracy isn't everything. In fact, fairly highly accurate quartz watches which can be accurate to within 10 seconds per year are not valued in luxury watches. Automatic or self-winding and manual winding watches are more prized for their craftsmanship. These watches are often less accurate. Automatic watches use a spring to turn the gears which move the hands. Most luxury watches are automatic or self-winding, however the mechanism that drives the automatic winding takes up a lot of space in a watch's case, therefore some makers continue to design watches that require manual winding to reduce the heft of the case in some designs. Automatic or manual wind is the way to go. No battery – dear God, no.
Magazine watch ads are not a good way to gauge the relative panache of a particular watch brand. Though Rolex and now Patek Philippe ads are frequently seen (and no disrespect meant here), Tag Heuer, Raymond Weil, or Movado are generally seen as unimpressive mass-produced watches with mass-produced innards with unexceptional movements. They may impress average folks, but are not snob worthy.
Watches (and pianos) should not be viewed as investments (for chrissakes). The only thing that makes a piano hold its value is inflation. The older it is, the closer to breaking down it is. Watches are a little different. While it is possible to buy a watch that could increase in value over time, it most likely, especially when buying new watches, never will. Fine watches (and fine pianos for that matter) do have a long life and are worthy of passing down to your children and so in some sense, people may consider that an investment. And that is a reason to buy a true luxury watch because generally speaking the market for used watches that are high quality timepieces is excellent – as I have read, whether it's 6 months or 30 years later. The resell of cheaper mass-produced watches is limited. Bottom line is that a fine watch will hold a great deal of its value.
Do your homework. If you're like me, and you don't have time to learn everything. Take the advice of others. Understand as much as you can and then understand which is a mass-produced pseudo-luxury watch and which is an authentic luxury timepiece. It will affect not only what you might pay, but resell value later if you choose to buy in and out of different watches, which many people do.
Buy used. New watches buyers, like with just about anything, take the biggest hit in depreciation. A used watch can provide excellent value. Look online, but visit a reputable used jewelry or watch dealer in person. Gauge their knowledge in what they know about the watches other than Rolex.
So I did my homework and found several brands that I like the reputation and style. Those were IWC, Officine Panerai, Cartier and yes, I didn't completely discount Rolex. There was a jeweler in Atlanta that specialized in used watches, Ermitage Jewelers and their website was very good. Since I was leaning away from Rolex, I was eyeing the Officine Panerai. Rhonda liked the Cartier better than me and also tried to get me interested in Breitling and Omega which are nice, but I also wanted to stay away from big magazine ad manufacturers. I was leaning to something only someone reasonably in the know would notice.
So my birthday arrived and we planned a trip over to Atlanta to view the watches in person. Ermitage is fancier online than they are in person but we went in to a quiet store with no customers and a nice case full of mainly Rolex watches. We asked about some of the other brands and found out that they were kept in the back in the safe. We asked to see the IWC and the Panerai. Ermitage had no men's Cartier watches in stock at the time. Another watch that is lower end but stylish and has garnered some respect was Oris. All three of these were used and so we tried them all. The IWC didn't excite, but the Panerai did. The Oris was nice too and much less expensive. Quickly I was down to the Panerai which was the most expensive and out of my budget and the Oris.
As the clerk would go back into the back to retrieve the next watch I was interested in, we would look at the Rolex watches in the case. I eventually picked the two or three of them I liked best from their appearance. It just wasn't in me to buy a Rolex as my first luxury watch. Of the three I liked, one was a throwback, it looked rather vintage. The clerk said yes that she thought it was from the 80s. Hmmm, I thought. Princess Di, Mr T, Boy George? Looks too cool for that. She pulled it out of the case and said nope that she was wrong. It was from 1965.
Really? 1965? The Beatles, Ford Mustangs, Robert Redford?
1965 just happened to be the year of my birth. Suddenly I had a third candidate. 1970 and it's just another watch. But today, my birthday, a 1965 Rolex? There was definitely some Mad Men appeal to this thing. Definitely a little Don Draper quality going there.
I felt a little under pressure but ultimately the Panerai was the watch. It was a Luminor Marina Model PAM 51, self-winding automatic. It had a white-painted dial while most Luminor Marinas have black sandwich dials. The white PAM 51 also has just a 40mm case whereas the most other of the blackface are 44mm which is really big. The 40mm PAM 51 felt perfect, and no adjustment was needed in the metal band (which is fate saying, yes). The Panerai was also the one I liked going in – different, unknown – the perfect watch for me. As well, the company has an interesting history. Though it's Swiss manufactured, the company's headquarters is in Milan and its origins date to 19th Century Florence. The company's reputation as maker of precision instruments was solidified at the turn of the 20th Century when it became the official maker of watches for the Royal Italian Navy. Take a look at it at night and the word Luminor has meaning as the hands glow brightly, perfect for a diver or a seaman on duty in the dark. It is definitely thrilling to own and enjoy, and I intend to learn more about it in the future.
Ironically, my first thought was that now that I have this watch and it's not a Rolex, it'd be OK now to get the cool 1965 vintage Rolex and start a collection. So many hobbies, so little time.
Pianos are another story altogether.
Pianos are very expensive – there are almost no grand pianos of any make (new or nearly new) that sell for less than $10,000. Fine grand pianos easily sell for between 50-100 thousand dollars, and concert grands can cost up to $200,000. The quality gap between the lower end and the high-end are no longer so easily discernible. High end pianos are hand-made by seasoned craftsmen with no compromise in any components. With the fine Italian maker Fazioli, wood for the soundboards (a large, important and delicate component of any piano) are taken from a particular Italian forest from particular trees known for their ability to produce uniquely resonant wood to ensure the absolute finest quality piano.
Cheaper pianos are made with the help of computer-automated manufacturing. These pianos can use cheaper components, but the quality is relatively remarkable and consistent. Most of these pianos are made in Asia, while high-end pianos are still made in Europe or in the case of Steinway, America. The highest end piano names also have a direct lineage from the 18th or 19th Century. Almost all makers, including mass-produced Asian manufacturers claim some sort of piano heritage, but some are not authentic. Many companies however are still led or employ namesakes of the original family.
As far as high-end pianos, much like with watches, there's a prominent well-known brand and there is everyone else.
Steinway and Sons have long been the dominant brand in high-end pianos. Some how or another, Steinway made their way into the minds of people who know very little about pianos. Much like with Rolex, people will buy Steinway pianos with little research, and on the strength of the brand alone. Fortunately, Steinway's reputation is legitimate and buyers get a fine piano. For some people, that's mostly the point – to be recognized as an enthusiast of high-end pianos. But for others, being a true connoisseur and more importantly a snob, Steinway might never do.
One other brand of piano that would likely come to the tongue of the average joe on the street – Yamaha. Along with Steinway, no other brand has been more successful in marketing itself with recording artists. My guess is upwards of 95% of all concert and television appearances that include acoustic pianos feature either Yamaha or Steinway. Yamaha is certainly one of the largest and finest producers of pianos. On the snob-meter, Yamaha can't compete with Steinway and you'll often hear piano brand snobs claim that Yamahas are too harsh on the high-end (akin to saying a wine is too fruity and sweet), but in my opinion these claims are exaggerated.
In another contrast to Steinway, Yamaha makes a range of pianos for different segments of the piano market, from lower end to higher end hand-made instruments. The Steinway brand is only used with their high-end pianos although they have recently created other brands (Boston and Essex – both manufactured in Asia) for the purpose of appealing to different segments of the market.
When I bought a piano, my budget was limited so the very high-end was out of reach, but I still spent an astronomical amount buying a 7-foot Yamaha. It was only a year-and-a-half old, so basically the previous owner had taken the new piano depreciation hit. It was too good to pass on and right in my budget. But it was the other brands that I wanted but couldn't reach for that are important to complete one's snobucation.
The dealer in Atlanta I visited, PianoWorks, is snob worthy – they aren't Steinway or Yamaha dealers (though they can carry used of these brands), but are dealers of some of the top European brands – Bösendorfer, Grotrian, Estonia, and Schimmel.
The Bösendorfer 225 – sublime.
Bösendorfer is one brand whose history and recognition may surpass Steinway. They make some of the most expensive pianos in the world, hand-made in Austria. Their Imperial 9-foot concert grand is known for having the extra keys in the bass. It is truly a beast. At PianoWorks, I played and fell in love with a Bösendorfer 225 which is a 7-foot piano (225 refers to the number of centimeters of length of the piano – bigger pianos are capable of producing deeper and more resonant bass). I still consider the Bösey 225 to be my dream piano. Price at that time: $90,000.
Grotrian is a German piano with links to Steinway (Steinway's founder sold to Grotrian in Europe long ago) and makes high-end pianos at a slightly lower price. Grotrian 214 if I remember correctly was in the $65,000 range.
Estonia is a newly recognized high-end brand using its country's name as its brand name, and Schimmel is a German maker who is recognized for first using science and computer-aided manufacturing techniques to build precision instruments, sort of breaking a barrier between old hand-made philosophy and computer and science aided philosophies.
One other piano that I mentioned earlier and that I have once enjoyed playing, is the Fazioli. This Italian piano is usually considered the most expensive piano in the world. They were founded by furniture maker with degrees in engineering and music in the early 80s. It's interesting that Fazioli doesn't try to link its heritage to 19th century piano makers, well, because it can't, but it was a very ambitious undertaking to set out to make the finest pianos in the world using technology and engineering combined with the finest materials and craftsmen. Fazioli makes the F308 (again centimeters) which is the largest concert piano on the market.
In truth, with pianos there is so much to say, so many other snob-worthy brands, so much esoteric and subjective thought about the sound and feel of particular brands and even particular instruments, that there's almost no way to do it justice in writing. But hopefully you get some insight and sense of what's out there. Visit the folks at PianoWorks and get a sense of some of these great brands and ask Sam if they have one of the special edition Bösendorfers on order. And then break out your wallet!
Though, I am a sucker for the historical element and generally prefer a more classic mil style (dark face, light markers/numerals).
You could never go wrong with Rolex or Panerai though.
Oooh, I likey too. From the 60s. Would impress Colleen Corby. Rather, she'd look good on your arm while you were wearing it.
I was given a Breitling that was purchased from an estate sale and its the best gift I have ever received…….I think most people who know me think I am all class, but the Breitling definitely seals the deal.

I haven't been nearly as active with teams or blogging, but I'm always tracking my food and exercise. And I check in with other blogs when I can. But you're right, it seems like lots of Sparkfriends have disappeared. I hope they're still Sparking and just away from their computers!!
Hi! Just added you back! Yeah, sometimes either life happens and people don't have the time to come here anymore, or they just lose motivation. But, some come back after a hiatus which is good! I'm usually on here everyday. Keeps me accountable!
I'm still here, but I don't blog as often.
So am I! Keep at it.

i.e. professors will be trained in mixed martial arts?
How about changing admissions to complement a better quality educational system (that includes both sciences and humanities) rather than changing it just so it's tougher for the violently-prone students to commit their acts on campus? How about we invest the cost of CCTVs (400k X the total amount of public universities?) and put towards genuine educational reform? How about instead of investing money and time in training university staff to "deal with" campus violence, you put that investment towards training school teachers not to beat kids – something which is a norm in public schools and probably has some effect on yielding violent students headed to universities. How about, instead of spending local governorate money on paying for students to study outside their local communities, thus taking money OUT of the local system – you spend that money on improving the universities IN their local communities?
In other words, how about if the long-term strategy was the short-term strategy?
Normally, the excuse for the lack of educational reform is money. But according to this proposed plan, there seems to be plenty of money to spend on changing admission standards, setting up monitoring systems, paying for students to study outside their local universities, installing CCTV systems, beefing up security (likely metal detectors and campus police), and training campus staff to deal with violence. In short, creating a better security system doesn't really tackle the larger problems. Imagine venturing in to the poorest ghetto in a random innercity somewhere in the US and seeing the windows borded up with wire, metal detectors, and private security – are the kids there likely getting a good or bad education? Is violence there higher or lower than in some white, middle income, suburban public school? The same logic I feel can be applied here.
It sounds like this plan is equivalent to putting a bandaid on a bullet wound.

Numbness or paralysis in the arm below the dislocation caused by pressure on blood vessels or nerves.
Decreased or absent pulse at the wrist because of blood-vessel damage.
Cut away clothing if possible, but don't move the injured area to do so.
Immobilize the elbow, shoulder and wrist with padded splints in the position they are in. Don't try to manipulate the elbow.
Splints will be necessary to immobilize the elbow , and sling will be necessary to immobilize the entire arm. The posterior (hind) splint is usually removed 2 weeks after injury, and the anterior(front) splint is removed 1 week later .A sling is used for another week.
Use ice soaks 3 or 4 times a day. Fill a bucket with water, and soak the injured area for 20 minutes at a time.
Use heat applications if heat feels better.Use heat lamps,hot showers or heating pads.
Drink only water before manipulation or surgery to correct the dislocation. Solid food in your stomach makes vomiting under general anesthesia more hazardous.
Eat a well-balanced diet that includes extra protein, such as meat, fish, poultry, cheese, milk and eggs. Increase fiber and fluid intake to prevent constipation due to decreased activity.
Build your overall strength and muscle tone with a long-term conditioning program appropriate for your sport.
Wear elbow pads for contact sports.

Ignacy Krieger (born in 1817 or 1820 in the Mikołaj manor, Wadowice district (currently in the city of Wadowice); died on 17 June 1889, in Krakow) was a Polish photographer from Krakow. He was the owner of a photo studio documenting the city and its monuments.

Life and work
It is not known where and with whom he studied photography.

In 1860, after returning from a foreign trip, during which he improved his skills, he moved to Krakow and established a studio. It was located in the yard of A. Schwarz's house at ul. Grodzka 88 (currently 13). In May of the same year, in "Czas" he posted an advertisement saying that he was making portraits, medallions, group photos, "landscape views" and photos of buildings. As a photographer, he quickly gained a high position in the city. Approx. In 1864 he also had a branch of the plant in Tarnów.

After returning from a second trip abroad in 1865, the atelier moved to a tenement house at the corner of the Main Square and ul. st. Jana (then Rynek Główny 37, now 42).

He died in 1889 and was buried in the new Jewish cemetery in Krakow.

Technique
Initially, Krieger used the collodion technique, which he replaced with bromo-gelatin after the mid-1880s. However, the wet collodion plate did not disappear completely from Krieger's factory and was used even after 1890 in reproduction photography.

Dead priest is named in the abuse of an altar boy
By Colleen Heild / Journal Investigative Reporter
Published: Tuesday, October 30th, 2018 at 11:32pm
Updated: Tuesday, October 30th, 2018 at 10:50pm
Copyright © 2018 Albuquerque Journal
Yet another lawsuit alleging Catholic priest abuse of an altar boy has been filed against the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, but the alleged abuser wasn't on a list of credibly accused priests released by church authorities more than a year ago.
The alleged victim, who lives out of state, hadn't disclosed the abuse that occurred in the 1970s in Peralta, south of Albuquerque, until he sought professional help this year for what seemed to be an unrelated issue, according to a recent lawsuit filed in state District Court in Albuquerque.
The unidentified plaintiff first disclosed he had been repeatedly sexually abused by Monsignor Albert Chavez during therapy he initially sought earlier this year because someone in his immediate family had been diagnosed with a terminal illness, his lawsuit says.
Monsignor Albert Chavez
As part of the therapy process, the therapist suggested he contact an attorney about Chavez, who was pastor at Our Lady of Guadalupe in Peralta, later transferred to Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Truth or Consequences and eventually moved to the Diocese of Las Cruces to finish his career.
Identified as John Doe "92" in the lawsuit, the alleged victim first checked with a worker's compensation lawyer he once hired, the lawsuit says. That attorney used the internet and referred the man to Brad Hall of Albuquerque, whose law firm has filed more than 100 cases of clerical sexual abuse since 2011.
The archdiocese didn't immediately return a request for comment Tuesday. Chavez died in 1996 at age 75, according to news reports.
The lawsuit contends Chavez sexually abused and raped the plaintiff on at least 25 occasions, sometimes using alcohol to intoxicate the boy before the assaults. The sexual abuse by Chavez allegedly began about 1972 and continued until about 1977.
Hall said Tuesday that the plaintiff relied on his childhood psychological coping skills, until they finally gave way this year during therapy.
"Through therapy, Plaintiff is only now realizing the nature of the abuse and the delayed psychological reaction, and is only now realizing and connecting the harm caused to him by the actions of Defendants' priest, and by Defendants in empowering Msgr. Chavez to have extraordinary power over Plaintiff (primarily by developing and exploiting Plaintiff's sense of duty to the Church as a 'true believer' altar boy)," the lawsuit says.
In a news release, Hall described the new abuse accusations as "alarming," partly because the archdiocese does not have Chavez on its list, released in September 2017, of 74 clergy members who were identified as having been credibly accused of sexually abusing children.
More recently, the list was expanded to 78 clerics, but Chavez's name doesn't appear.
Archbishop John C. Wester called the disclosure last year "a critical step" in the archdiocese's attempt to improve transparency and promote healing for survivors and their families as well as the church.
Levi Monagle, another attorney for John Doe "92," said, "If there are unknown abusers out there, then obviously there are unknown victims of those abusers as well. At some point, this really begs the question as to whether the list compiled by the archdiocese is even remotely complete."
The lawsuit says that before being assigned to Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Peralta in 1970, Chavez served in parishes in Santa Fe, Taos, Mora and Santa Rosa.
In 1961, Chavez was appointed the second pastor at St. Bernadette's parish in Northeast Albuquerque, and during his eight years at the parish, he built the rectory and parish hall.
That is the same parish where the Rev. Arthur Perrault was alleged to have sexually assaulted altar boys and others in the mid-1980s to 1992. One of those former altar boys is the alleged victim in a recently unsealed federal criminal indictment charging Perrault with aggravated criminal assault.
Perrault, now 80, has pleaded not guilty to the federal charges, which relate to alleged sexual assaults at Kirtland Air Force Base and the Santa Fe National Cemetery.
"By failing for decades to inform parishioners, civil authorities, or the general public of the child sexual abuse perpetrated by its clerics, the Archdiocese has knowingly engaged in conduct injurious to the health, safety and welfare of large numbers of the public, particularly minors, but also adults who were abused as children and then 'locked it away,' " the lawsuit filed by John Doe "92" says.

"What is a literary device that the author used well in Girl With a Pearl Earring? How did it affect her purpose?" eNotes Editorial, 20 Apr. 2016, https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-literary-device-that-author-used-well-girl-683145. Accessed 2 Feb. 2023.
Olen Bruce
Tracy Chevalier uses a great deal of figurative language in Girl With a Pearl Earring. For example, when Griet meets Pieter, Pieter "looked me over as if I were a plump chicken he was considering roasting" (page 27). This is a simile, a form of figurative language, and it provides the reader with a vivid description of Pieter's gaze. When Griet is describing how, in the past, she had always gone to new places with her family, she says, "The new was woven in with the old, like the darning in a sock" (page 27). This simile uses a comparison of integrating new experiences with old experiences to the way a sock is knit together with old and new threads. It is an effective and vivid way to describe how Griet integrates new experiences into existing ones.
This type of figurative language is particularly effective when the author is discussing how Griet looks at paintings. For example, Griet thinks, when looking at one of Vermeer's paintings,
"It was like looking at a star in the night sky--if I looked at one directly, I could barely see it, but if I looked from the corner of my eye it became much brighter" (page 37).
It is often difficult for authors to describe how paintings look, and the author's use of figurative language, comparing the appreciation of a painting to looking at the night sky, effectively expresses the wonder and awe that Griet feels as she looks at art for the first time.

Please show compassion to Yorkshire school children who will suffer 'holiday hunger' this summer – Jayne Dowle
Food poverty is set to get worse during school sumer holidays.
Jayne Dowle
Published: 05:44 Thursday 18 July 2019
TOMORROW should be a day of celebration. It is the day most state schools in England and Wales break up for the long summer holidays; six weeks or so of fun and freedom, or so it should be.
Sadly, as millions of families know only too well, it is actually the most stressful time of the year. Worse even than Christmas, which at just a fortnight, is mercifully short.
David Cameron is the Prime Minister who promised the Big Society - what happened to him and the policy?
Jayne Dowle: Universal Credit – a policy starved of compassion and good sense as food bank link confirmed
Two years ago, an All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) report, Hungry Holidays, estimated that up to three million children are at risk of going without food in the school holidays – one million children who receive free school meals during term time, and another two million ineligible for free meals but are growing up in households in in-work poverty.
Warning as 'record number' of food bank parcels handed out in last year
These are the families who live on the precarious knife-edge that the welfare state no longer softens. The parents may be in work, but all too often it is insecure, low-wage and, even if topped up with benefits, barely covers the bills at the best of times.
Holiday hunger is a new trend according to columnist Jayne Dowle.
Jayne Dowle: Children need money lessons – just ask my son
Not only do household expenses rise inexorably during the long summer weeks, but many parents have to take time off to look after their children. If they're on a zero-hours contract, this can mean no possibility of paid holiday leave, putting an even tighter squeeze on weekly income.
Vivid picture of poverty in Yorkshire's schools revealed
Meanwhile, their children, who may be supported at school through free meals, breakfast club and snacks provided at after-school activities, rely on a network of care and provision that evaporates as soon as that bell rings for home-time on the last day of term.
Within days, they become victims of what's known as ''school holiday poverty'' or ''holiday hunger''. And that's not just pestering for another ice pop or chocolate bar. No food in the cupboards, nothing much in the fridge. No coppers even to pop to the corner shop for a bag of crisps.
The Trussell Trust, a charity which campaigns to eradicate hunger and food poverty, has released new figures which show that there was a 20 per cent overall increase in the number of emergency food parcels it distributed last summer.
Each parcel provides one person with enough nourishment for three days. Nothing the Trussell Trust and other charities say suggests that this year will be any different – in fact, all agree that it's set to end up worse.
Build on AMRC founder's lasting legacy by transforming reach of Sheffield's advanced manufacturing centre – The Yorkshire Post says
Meanwhile, the Food Insecurity Private Member's Bill, introduced in November 2017 by South Shields MP Emma Lewell-Buck, a prominent member of the Hungry Holidays APPG, is another victim of the stasis in Parliament caused by Brexit and political upheaval.
Clearly, the Government has a huge role to play in helping to find ways to eradicate holiday hunger and poverty. Politicians on all sides make the right noises, but few are committed to sticking their necks out and really taking a stand.
So, who can help? Charities, but they can't do it by themselves. The Trussell Trust is calling for donations to keep its food banks open this summer. I wish this admirable organisation luck.
I'm ashamed to say that when a food bank in Barnsley, where I live, asked for people to give what they could this week, the reaction on a local social media news site showed a side of Britain in 2019 which can only be described as ugly.
''Why should we?'' was the general reaction from many people. Why should we bother to put together a few tins and packets of cereals for families when these parents dare to own a mobile phone or a television? Why should we work hard and pay our taxes and be expected to fund those who don't? (see the issues related to in-work poverty, above).
And, shamefully, why should we have to give stuff to people coming here from abroad? Well, you can imagine how the rest of that particular complaint goes. It was along the same lines as the public reaction to another recent local initiative which asked people to donate outgrown school uniforms to help refugee children.
When I wrote earlier this week about the all-pervasive ''hostile environment'' seeping throughout British society, this is the kind of thing I meant. This awful idea that if you falter, even for a minute, you'll be stepped over and disregarded like a piece of trash.
We've become a hard-bitten country where too many people care only about themselves and give little thought to those who might need a hand.
This selfishness – and lack of compassion – is a horrible legacy of austerity and cuts to social services. And with an irony that isn't remotely funny, it's the dystopian polar opposite to the ''Big Society'' once talked about as the way forward by a Prime Minister who forced upon us a referendum which turned simmering resentments into open hostility.
