The following tables present information about how organic compounds absorb ultraviolet (UV) radiation. While not as informative as infrared correlations, UV can often provide valuable qualitative information. Many common chromophores (that portion of a molecule that is responsible for its color) absorb UV light at characteristic wavelengths, as listed in Table 1. In some cases, extinction coefficients are given for multiple wavelengths. Column definitions for Table 1 are as follows.
Chromophore Name of chromophore
Functional group Molecular formula of chromophore
λmax Wavelength at which the maximum absorption occurs, in nm

I found one interesting site while I visited the design blogs.. I see cute Eco-Ego website! So, I try this flash game. I enjoyed this! :D It is cute but, it is good to teach you learn "environmental protection that we can do immediately" while you enjoying it. Eco-Ego is a name - the balance of "ecology" and "ego".

NEWS: Music to the eyes: The sounds of the Denver Film Festival
Actress Maria Peters will appear in person at the Denver Film Festival screenings of The Conductor, the true story of the Netherlands' Antonio Brico, the first woman to conduct a professional symphony orchestra. (photo courtesy of Denver Film)
By Peter Jones | The Denver Film Festival has a musical soundtrack again this year—from documentaries to narrative features, from industry panels to music videos, from Itchy-O to the New York Philharmonic. Yes, music and movies go together like Gene Kelly and Vincente Minnelli and the 42nd edition of a Mile High institution has arranged for yet another affecting medley of cinema and sound.
For starters, Colorado's own Grammy-nominated Devotchka, an eclectic band that provided the music for 2006's Little Miss Sunshine, will this time perform a live original soundtrack to a near-forgotten silent film. The band, whose moniker is Russian for "girl," will put its musical stamp on Soviet director Dziga Vertov's 1929 experimental film Man with a Movie Camera on Sunday, Nov. 3, in a special performance at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
An artistic advancement, as well as a relic of Soviet culture, Vertov's film is an avant-garde study of urban life in the early decades of the U.S.S.R.—with the cameraman and crew as kind of characters—but it is also an early form-focused precursor to cinema verite, using what were then such new techniques as slow motion, split screen and stop-motion animation.
Having performed everywhere from burlesque shows to the Denver Center for the Performing Arts with the Colorado Symphony, Devotchka, with its minimalistic show biz and bouzouki-theremin inclinations, is the perfect ensemble to set a 1920s Russian experiment to 21st-century music.
Another much newer music-centered film will have its Colorado premiere at the festival — Amazonia Groove, a cinematically luscious trip down the Amazon River with many musical stops along the way. Like the Mississippi, this winding river through South America is a birthplace of folk music and a magnet for the international sounds that have long colonized the region's towns and cities.
The Brazilian documentary tells the story of a people and the music that ties them together. One group integrates jungle bird sounds into its songs. Others do South American variations on hip hop. Some relay stories of Italian missionaries and the harmonies they brought along with their Bibles. And then, take a look at Gina Lobrista, who might just be the new Taylor Swift-ish diva of the south continent.
Amazonia Groove, part of the festival's Focus on Brazil, plays Friday, Nov. 1, Saturday, Nov. 2 and Saturday, Nov. 9, at United Artists Pavilions on the 16th Street Mall.
Another musical highlight will be The Conductor, a 2018 Dutch movie that tells the true story of Antonio Brico, who became the first woman ever to conduct a professional symphony, though the accomplishment was less than a happy ending for this early 20th-century immigrant.
Although the period detail is not always convincing, the engaging tale of an audacious proto-feminist is well suited to the festival's Women+Film component. Star Maria Peters will attend.
The Conductor plays Saturday, Nov. 2, Monday, Nov. 4, and Friday, Nov. 8, at the Sie Film Center, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. The film will also be shown Sunday, Nov. 3, in Fort Collins in a satellite presentation at the Lyric Theater.
The festival's "Music Video Mixtape" returns this year with the latest in highly creative music videos. Children of the 1980s and MTV's golden era are in for a post-Madonna revelation. These 21st century music videos are not glorified commercials, but mostly highly detailed, and largely entertaining, experimental films set to new music.
A few highlights:
~ As dream catchers, Denver's own Infamous Stringdusters take their high-lonesome Rocky Mountain bluegrass on a fast-paced, magical Colorado road trip in "Rise Sun."
~ A late night in an urban laundromat is not so drab for New York's Julietta, who finds the clothes of strangers may not need those washing machines to move around to the music in "Beach Break." This is "some good, clean fun," as one viewer observed.
~ King Princess takes a bite out of unrequited love in "Cheap Queen." Spoiler alert: Her true love is an animated bologna sandwich—on white bread.
~ Itchy-O proves that its avant-garde audience interactions are just scratching the surface in "Saptaloka," a haunting Mexican hat dance, for lack of better explanation.
~ Sonia Barcelona's "Violent Water" is an Atlantis fantasy of Titanic proportions.
~ AJR's "100 Bad Days" proves how catchy disembodied heads can be, especially at parties.
The complete "Music Video Mixtape" will be heard and seen Thursday, Nov. 7, at the Sie Film Center, Saturday, Nov. 9, at UA Pavilions and Sunday, Nov. 10, at the Lyric.
Then, on Saturday, Nov. 2, the festival will present a discussion by filmmakers and others on the nature of music videos at the 303 Music Video Panel at the Festival Annex in the McNichols Building, 144 W. Colfax Ave., in Civic Center Park. Presented by 303 magazine.
The marriage of music and film will be more fully explored in another panel discussion presented by the Colorado Film and Video Association. Industry experts and filmmakers will discuss the highs and lows of getting music into movies on Nov. 8 at the Festival Annex.

Enjoy the sights and sounds!
Denver Arts Week starts Nov. 1st.

Cleveland Scores
LeBron James Economic Return & New Scoreboard
Basketball / LeBron James Economic Return & New Scoreboard
by:scores
Posted in : Basketball, Sports
Ever since Lebron James returned in 2014 to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the city has been reaping the benefits in many ways. He has returned to his home and arguably became an even bigger legend than he was before and some hope for him to lead his city to an NBA championship. There's the possibility, but the real news here is the amount of money being brought into the city of Cleveland and new costs as well in the surrounding areas. While the stadium has also announced a new technologically advanced scoreboard for all fans and people in the arena.
Return of LeBron
Last year when LeBron James returned home to Cleveland, ticket prices were exceptionally expensive ranging from an average of $1,100 to $14,000 for their first opener game against the New York Knicks. The 12,000 seats of the stadium were sold out by the next day after LeBron announced to Sports Illustrated that he was returning home. Some die-hard Cavs fans had to clean out their bank accounts or even get fast cash with a car title loan in order to afford the tickets.
The Cavaliers' CEO Len Komoroski said that they did not raise ticket prices and they would keep the average ticket price the same they were before LeBron was back in action and playing for the team. He said "We have been very conscious to treat our fans with the same degree of respect and integrity as when we were in our rebuilding mode."
LeBron Economics
As of late it looks like James can take the Cavaliers to where they need to be and win their first NBA title. This has made ticket sales go up and everything else in between rise too. This includes alcohol sales, T-shirts, and jerseys.
Around the area Bars have been hopping and had some of their best years as well since four years ago when LeBron was last playing with Cleveland. Bar owners have reported a mass scale of revenue since the prior season and are able to employ their staff longer without cutting them off until the summer.
Along with LeBron's relatively new return there has also been some new additions to their stadium. One of these includes the scoreboard that is definitely going to excite fans and people going to the games.
Details of New Scoreboard
The new scoreboard measures a total of 5,500 square feet and comes equipped with LED technology. It comes with a new audio and visual update system and is part of the new upgrades to the Quicken Loans Arena.
ANC Sports Enterprises, a group that is well known and helped the Seattle Mariners acquire one of the largest and clear HD video displays in the MLB, helped this along.
This will enhance the game experience as the scoreboard has four large HD video screens that are tilted and situated so that it will provide an incredible viewing experience at all angles from the upper levels all the way down to the main floor. The sideline screens also are 31.50" high by 56.69".
These new screens will provide a stellar new addition to the stadium with the addition of a fan favorite and team favorite from LeBron James.

Josh Reviews Better Things Season Three
Better Things, Pamela Adlon, TV Show Reviews
Pamela Adlon's show Better Things continues to be one of my very favorite TV shows currently being made. I recently caught up with season three, and it's every bit as magnificent as I had hoped. (Click here for my review of Better Things season one, and here for my review of season two.)
Better Things was co-created by Pamela Adlon, who also plays the lead role, writes most of the episodes (she wrote or co-wrote eight of the twelve season three episodes), and directed ALL of them in season three. This is a magnificent showcase for Ms. Adlon's talents, and I love that she has created a show that is idiosyncratic and unique. Better Things is unlike most other television. The show zooms from comedy to heartbreaking drama and back again at a moment's notice. It has a loose approach to narrative structure, with some episodes containing several vignettes that have little to nothing to do with one another, and some story-lines carrying through multiple episodes while other single episodes represent completely stand-along mini-movies or tone poems all their own. There are many reasons why I love this show; one of the best is that, from episode to episode and moment to moment, I never know what I'm going to get.
I love that the show's focus is firmly on Sam (Ms. Adlon's character), her three kids Max, Frankie, and Duke, and the other women in their lives. There are male characters on the show and many of them are great and interesting. But this is a show that is about these women and their experiences.
Ms. Adlon seems focused on honesty, on depicting the real-life joys and struggles and sorrows of life as a working single parent of kids. She seems to revel in showing the audience real-life moments we've never seen on TV before. (As a prime example: episode seven, "Toilet," chronicles Sam's preparations for her colonoscopy.)
There are times when the show seems to idolize Sam a bit too much. ("Your mother may be the greatest mother in the world," Sam's brother Marion (Kevin Pollak) tells her young daughter Duke at one point.) But on the other hand, the show again and again shows Sam's flaws and bad behavior. So it works that the show is structured so as to put Sam's hard work as a parent up on a bit of a pedestal. Sam is a great mother not because she is perfect. Far from it, she screws up and makes questionable decisions in nearly every episode. But her effort day in and day out, and her unconditional love for her kids, and her stubborn refusal to stick to the path that most … [continued]
News Around the Net — UPDATED with Bond 25 Title
Martin Scorsese, News Around the Net, Quentin Tarantino, Simon Pegg, Star Trek
UPDATE: The Title of Bond 25 has been revealed:
It's an OK title. A bit generic, but also sort of classic Bond sounding. I just hope this movie is better than SPECTRE, which I found to be heartbreakingly disappointing.
Recently I shared the exciting news that Brandon Routh would be reprising his role as Superman from the underrated Superman Returns in the upcoming "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover that will be running through the DC "Arrowverse" TV shows in the fall. Now there's even more exciting news: Kevin Conway, who voiced Bruce Wayne/Batman on Batman: The Animated Series and who is, for me, the definitive actor to play Batman, will finally be playing the character in live action! Mr. Conway will ALSO be appearing in this "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover, apparently playing the elderly Bruce Wayne from Batman Beyond! I am so excited for this!! I have never before watched any of these "Arrowverse" shows, but it sure looks like I'll be needing to tune in for this one…
The Matrix is heading back to theaters 8/30-9/5 in celebration of its 20th anniversary! Cool! Speaking of The Matrix: Lana Wachowski, Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Ann Moss are all apparently involved in making a new fourth Matrix film?? Wow, I did not expect that!!
This is interesting: apparently Stephen King himself has written a new "coda" for the ending of The Stand miniseries adaptation! I am very curious to see what Mr. King has added to the end of his famous story. (I'm actually in the middle of reading the novel for the first time, right now!)
Speaking of Stephen King, this is a great look back at The Green Mile, Frank Darabont's film adaptation of Stephen King's serialized novel. I love The Green Mile and think it's a hugely underrated film.
This trailer for Martin Scorsese's upcoming Netflix film The Irishman looks spectacular:
Oh, man, that looks like classic Scorsese. Great cast. Intriguing story. I'm excited.
I didn't know anything about Eddie Murphy's new film Dolemite is My Name before watching this trailer, but now I can't wait to see this:
That looks great! It's fantastic to see Eddie Murphy back on the big screen in an interesting-looking movie, and the ensemble cast of the film looks amazing. (By the way, I highly recommend Eddie Murphy's appearance on the newest batch of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Netflix show!)
This is great news: Atlanta has already been renewed for a fourth season, even though season three is still months away from release! I loved season one and season two, and I can't wait for more.
CBS and Paramount are merging, which … [continued]
Josh Reviews True Detective Season Three
Mahershala Ali, True Detective, TV Show Reviews
Like many, I loved the first season of True Detective. The ending was a little disappointing (in that the many plot threads weren't wrapped up as neatly as I'd hoped), but I thought it was a riveting, smart, adult drama. The writing was sharp, the directing was memorable, and the acting was magnificent. Season two was a bit of a letdown, but while most of the world seemed to hate that season, I enjoyed it a lot. After that second season was so poorly received, it seemed that True Detective was dead. And so I was delighted when, a few years later, word came that a third season was happening. Lo and behold, I think season three might be the best season of the show!
Mahershala Ali stars in season three as Detective Wayne Hays. As was the case in season one, the season-long investigation unfolds over three timelines, which we follow simultaneously throughout the season. In 1980, Detective Hays and his partner Roland West (Stephen Dorff) investigate the disappearance of two children, Will and Julie Purcell. In 1990, the unsolved case is reopened when video footage seems to show that Julie Purcell is still alive. In 2015, an elderly Hays is interviewed about the case for a True Crime TV show. (I love that the show found a way to incorporate the True Crime trend that has bloomed in popularity over the past several years.)
Whereas season one had two leads and season two had four, season three focuses on one single main character: Mahershala Ali's Detective Hays. This is a terrific choice. I have enjoyed Mr. Ali's work for years, ever since he was the best thing about the sci-fi show The 4400. He's become a successful movie star now, but I'm thrilled he continues to work in TV as well. (He was one of the best aspects of Luke Cage season one.) True Detective creator and writer Nic Pizzolatto has crafted a showcase role for Mr. Ali, who proceeded to knock it right out of the park. Mr. Ali is absolutely riveting from start to finish. I love how he is able to successfully craft different versions of Hays at these three different points in his life. Mr. Ali's magnetic intensity is perfect for bringing the audience along through this complicated story taking place across decades.
One of the best things about True Detective season three is that the central mystery wraps up in a more satisfying, comprehensible way than it did in either season one or two. The show is still fiendishly difficulty to follow — which I believe is by design. It's unlikely a viewer will be able to get ahead of … [continued]
Star Trek: Foul Deeds Will Rise
Book Reviews, Star Trek, Star Trek Novel Reviews
For a while now I have been catching up with a bunch of Star Trek novels that I had skipped reading when they were originally published. With more books on my "to-read" shelf than I had time to read, I often found myself choosing to read the Star Trek novels that were set in the novel series' wonderful interconnected continuity that moved the Star Trek story and characters beyond the series finales of the 24th century-set Trek shows (TNG, DS9, and Voyager). This meant that often I wound up skipping the stand-along stories set in Captain Kirk's era. Over the past several months I have been finally catching up with those books, the first batch of which were all written by Greg Cox. Mr. Cox is a terrific writer (his two Eugenics War novels are among my very favorite Trek novels!) and it has been a pleasure catching up with these great books that I had missed reading!
While the past several novels (including Assignment: Eternity, The Rings of Time, The Weight of Worlds, and No Time Like the Past) were all set during the Original Series era of Kirk's first five-year mission on board the Enterprise, this latest novel, Foul Deeds Will Rise, is set during the movie era, between Star Trek V and Star Trek VI. It's an interesting change of pace, and Mr. Cox shows just as much skill at depicting the movie-era of Kirk and the Enterprise as he was at writing stories set during the five-year mission.
Foul Deeds Will Rise is a sequel to the Original Series episode, "The Conscience of the King." That episode ends with young Lenore Karidian exposed as a murderer and driven mad by the accidental death of her father at her own hands. As she is taken away, McCoy assures Kirk that Lenore would get the best psychological care that the Federation could provide. But what would become of Lenore? Foul Deeds Will Rise picks up that fascinating question.
Twenty years after those events, the Enterprise-A is called in to help mediate a fierce dispute between planetary neighbors Oyolo and Pavak. Kevin Reilly, now a Federation Ambassador, is back on board the Enterprise to help broker the peace talks. While visiting Oyolo, Captain Kirk is shocked to encounter Lenore Karidian, now going under the name Lyla Kassidy. After many years in a rehabilitation institute, Lenore/Lyla has been declared sane and released; she is now a part of a relief mission to Oyolo, where she attempts to give back to the Federation as a way of atoning for her crimes. She agrees to join Captain Kirk on board the Enterprise for a reception, but … [continued]
Josh Reviews Jon Favreau's remake of The Lion King
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Disney, Donald Glover, Movie Reviews, Seth Rogen
It seems like it was just a few weeks ago that I was writing about the live-action remake of Aladdin, and stating that I don't see any creatively interesting rationale behind Disney's current predilection for remaking so many of their classic animated films in live-action. (There's clearly a financial reason, as these films seem like a good way to make money off of pre-existing, beloved properties.) The original animated films Aladdin and The Lion King are magnificent, among Disney's very best. So what is to be gained from remaking them in live action?
I don't have an answer to that (again, other than money in Disney's coffers), but while I don't think either of these new remade films have much of a reason to exist, I enjoyed Join Favreau's new version of The Lion King even more than I enjoyed Guy Ritchie's remake of Aladdin!
Mr. Favreau first dipped his toes into these waters with his CGI-remake of The Jungle Book, which I thought was a visual marvel. Mr. Favreau has gone even further with The Lion King, pushing the boundaries of technology and visual effects.
It's a mistake to call this a live-action remake of The Lion King, because this new version doesn't feature any human beings. (The Jungle Book was mostly CGI, but the boy playing Mowgli was real.) This new film has been created with astonishing, cutting-edge motion-capture and CGI work. The result is incredible. The film looks entirely photo-real, despite the fact that it features an ensemble cast of talking animals. The world of The Lion King has been brought to astounding, beautiful life. You easily believe that these talking animals are real. It's astonishing… and very cool to see the iconic animated locations of the original film (such as Pride Rock) brought to the screen in a way that makes it look like those places really exist.
The original Lion King features some iconic and memorable vocal performances. Recasting this film could not have been easy… but Mr. Favreau and his team made all the right choices. JD McCrary plays young Simba, while Donald Glover plays adult Simba… and Shahadi Wright Joseph plays young Nala, while Beyoncé Knowles-Carter plays adult Nala. All four actors are perfect. They give different interpretations of these characters than the original actors did, and yet at the same time they all sounded absolutely perfect for Simba and Nala to me.
I thought the hardest voices to recast would be Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella as Timon and Pumbaa. And yet Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen might be my favorite performers in the new film! They make Timon and Pumbaa entirely their own, while still allowing the … [continued]
Josh Reviews Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Quentin Tarantino
Seeing Pulp Fiction for the first time in the theater back in 1994 made me a Quentin Tarantino fan for life, and so I have been eagerly anticipating the release of his ninth film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. A new Tarantino film as always a cause for excitement! I was not disappointed. I loved Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The film is longer than it needs to be, but I so enjoy Mr. Tarantino's unique style of dialogue and direction that I would have happily spent many more hours living in the world he (re)created for the film.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is set in Hollywood in 1969, in the months and weeks before the murders of Sharon Tate and others by members of the Manson Family. Sharon Tate, played by Margot Robbie, is a character in the film, but the film's focus is on two fictional characters: aging cowboy actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his friend and stunt-man Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). Rick became a star as the lead of a Western TV series called Bounty Law, but in the years since the show has ended he's fallen on hard times, finding it harder and harder to get work. Cliff has had similar trouble finding work as a stuntman; now he mostly earns his living by driving Rick around and helping him with various errands and chores.
There's not too much actual plot to the film. I'm OK with that! For me, the joy is in luxuriating in the world that Mr. Tarantino has created. I love spending time with these characters. Both Mr. DiCaprio and Mr. Pitt are fantastic. Their movie-star wattage is a perfect match for the terrific roles that Mr. Tarantino has written for them. Like many of Quentin Tarantino's films, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is filled with digressions and asides, and I love all of those little rivulets of story so much. (One of my favorite sequences in the film is a lengthy flashback, while Brad Pitt's Cliff fixes Rick's antennae on the roof of his house, about how he got fired from his last stuntman job.) As I noted above, one could say that the film is longer than it needs to be. For a movie that's around two hours and 45 minutes, there's not a heck of a lot of actual plot/story to be found. But I don't care a whit.
The film is very funny. Mr. Tarantino's dialogue is, as always, a joy to unravel… and Mr. Tarantino sure knows exactly how to get the timing perfect on a comedic scene. But there's also a looming sense of dread hovering over the film, as … [continued]
News Around the Net

I really enjoyed this trailer for Picard, the new show in which Patrick Stewart will reprise his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard:
That's a great trailer. Will the show be any good? Who knows. I'm dubious, mostly because I'm just not sure that Alex Kurtzman is the best shepherd for the Trek franchise. (I haven't loved any of the J. J. Abrams movies that Mr. Kurtzman was involved with, and I've found Discovery to be mostly disappointing.) But I want to believe. (Oops, wrong franchise.) Patrick Stewart looks great in this trailer; just seeing him as Picard again is a joy. There are some great visuals. I loved the callback to "Captain Picard Day." I LOVED seeing Data again at the end. (My thinking is that Picard is playing cards with a holographic Data, just as Data often played cards with holographic figures from the past, back on TNG.) I loved the revelation late in the trailer that this story has something to do with the Borg. While the Borg were given a terrific finale and resolution in the Star Trek novels (in David Mack's wonderful Destiny trilogy), they never got a great finale on-screen, so I'd love to see them revisited here. (I'm also intrigued to hear that Hugh from "I, Borg" will be back in some manner!)
I don't love the implications that Picard left Starfleet because of something to do with the destruction of Romulus (a rather silly plot point from the first J. J. Abrams Star Trek film). And while I have nothing against Jeri Ryan and am quite happy to see her character of Annika/Seven again, I think her appearance as the "wow" surprise towards the end of this trailer demonstrates Alex Kurtzman's misunderstanding of what TNG fans are looking for. I want to see Doctor Crusher in this show far more than I want to see Seven of Nine from Voyager!! Well, we'll soon see what they've cooked up. I am truly hoping for the best.
Marvel had a lot of exciting announcements at San Diego Comic Con. Click here for a summary.
* Black Widow: The Black Widow prequel film which we all knew was in-the-works was officially announced. I'm excited for Scarlet Johansson to finally be the lead of a Marvel film, and I'm very curious to know where/how this will fit into the overall timeline.
* The Eternals: This is a very curious choice. This is a very obscure title from the Marvel archive. Over the years, I've read some interesting stories featuring Eternals characters in the Fantastic Four and Avengers comic book series, but this wouldn't jump out at me as something I'd long to see in … [continued]


Favourite Scottish tunes in two part arrangements for keyboard, fiddle and accordion players. Playing together is great fun and these arrangements have been produced for the various fiddle groups and classes and for friends playing together by Inverness Fiddlers' Society, Paddy Shaw, Anne Hughes, Jean Ann Callender & Christine Martin.
Many popular tunes from the Scottish tradition and even a few Scandinavian tunes that have become popular here. Most of the second parts are easy, some are very easy and there are even some third fiddle parts for some of the tunes. Where possible similar types of tunes have been placed together to make "sets". Suitable for all lead instruments and chords are included for accompanists. A great collection to try out with friends or fiddle groups. Thirty three tunes in parts.
"The book of tunes for two fiddlers is excellent. The arrangements could be used in many ways by many different groups of instruments"

Basketball recruiting insider.
Graduate of University of Delaware.
Earlier this month, we started our Sales Pitch series by ranking the schools in the ACC based on the quality of their enticements for men's basketball recruits, and then moved on to the Big East, where we examined whether anyone in the league can close the recruiting gap on Villanova.
This week, we continue our exercise by taking a look at the Big Ten, which hasn't had a national champion in more than 20 years -- but placed nine teams in the NCAA tournament last season and has several of the country's best programs in its ranks. It's a competitive recruiting climate, with the top programs in the league often vying for the same high-level prospects.
As a reminder, ESPN spoke with a wide variety of anonymous coaches across college basketball's top seven leagues (as rated by KenPom and other relevant metrics systems), as well as the nationally relevant programs beyond those conferences, for our Sales Pitch feature. Over an eight-week period, we'll rank the programs in order of which have the best sales pitches for recruits and transfers.

Episode four marked the first occurrence of the "composer focus", an entire installment dedicated to showcasing the works of one musician. The tradition began with Junko Tamiya, and although a few selections by other composers sneaked into the original episode, the errors were excluded this time around to produce an all-Tamiya mixtape.
NOTE TO THE DETAIL-ORIENTED: Bionic Commando's "Area 1" was composed by Harumi Fujita, but Junko Tamiya's involvement as its arranger for the NES port merited its inclusion on the setlist.
Junko's focus needs a comment, so here's something her music made me think about. Apologies for the ridiculous length!
It makes aesthetic and coding sense to attach unique tunes directly to these already-defined pieces, so you loop through one piece until the next major screen/gameplay change or load. The result is something akin to the standard rock/pop album: a collection of semi-related, stand-alone tracks.
What Junko did with Strider is entirely different and more immersive, and it struck me that it is an effect which modern games have strongly adopted and even take pains to achieve. Nowadays many games' background music shifts under your gameplay, with perhaps several themes to each "section," but it aims to feel consistent and unsegmented. The experience is more akin to an orchestral piece or movie score with lengthy, nuanced movements than the more regimented rock/pop album approach.
This is what Strider did, and it's fascinating. I've watched gameplay, and sure, it has clearly delineated stages and other standards, but the stages are long, continuous experiences in large, varied environments, and music changes and leitmotif throwbacks occur not just when you expect them to, but when you reach seemingly random bits of landscape. The crest of a roof. An arbitrary climbing height. The tracks within a stage are also clearly related and structured to make a sensible thematic progression. It's not just a random collage of neat-sounding stuff.
Do we know of other classic games do this? I'm thinking specifically in the pre-CD era, because it seems this is less intuitive and harder to achieve with the limitations earlier formats present. Could Junko have been one of the first to pioneer this sort of continuously shifting musical immersion that's so common today? I don't have the breadth of experience to answer this on my own, especially when it comes to arcade games.
Thanks for the hearty comment, which this episode needed with such a lack of comments. One game that kind of comes to mind is Pitfall II for the Atari 2600. The music is continuous and it changes, but not through different parts of the levels, but it changes depending on how well you're doing. Also, all of the tunes are basically variations on the same tune, so this example might not count. Strider's soundtrack is extremely unique in that there doesn't seem to be any games from its era or before that do what it does. So yes, perhaps Junko Tamiya was a bit of a pioneer in this regard. She's certainly a musical genius.
Woah! I wouldn't have expected an Atari 2600 game to be a leading example for this kind of thing. I'll have to check that out.
The only comparable thing I can think of myself is the X-Men 2: Clone Wars Genesis soundtrack by Kurt Harland. Each level has a standard tune to it, but an extra unique musical line gets added in depending on which character(s) you play. Nightcrawler has a lot of sneaky-sounding plucked strings mixed in, for instance, Wolverine gets some electric guitars, Psylocke gets what sounds like... an extremely creepy minimalist koto? Oh, and Gambit gets some sassy riff. Because Gambit.
It's not all that similar to what Junko did, but it's slightly related, and seriously cool.
Wing Commander for MS-DOS, was a floppy disk game released in 1990 that contained a dynamic sound track. Dubbed the "OriginFX Sound System", the engine allowed composers George A. Sanger, and Dave Govett to created an epic, film like score that would dynamically change during the missions. It would be almost ambient when enemies weren't around, and would grow more intense depending on how many enemy ships were present. When you destroy an enemy ship, a short fanfare would play.
I know that the LMH doesn't cover computer music, but it's the best example I personally know of. The Ad-Lib sound card that it was originally written for is very technically close to the Genesis sound chips, for what it's worth. There were console ports, but to my knowledge, they all lack the dynamic music system.
Hey Retro Nick, thanks for coming all the way back here to share your knowledge! I've enjoyed your other recent-ish informative posts, too. I really appreciate the soundtrack tips.
I'll be investigating this game too. Really interesting! I do branch out and enjoy some computer music every now and again, so rest assured, it's a great suggestion. Thanks again!
Awesome! Glad you enjoy the tips. The opening fanfare of Wing Commander is outstanding! I compare it to the end credits of Star Fox, or even the opening of Star Trek TNG tv series.

The dress is called 'First Instinct'.
Its form is straightforward, and this is absolutely the smart choice as the fabric and its patterning so captures the eye. The fabric is actually nylon: but worked with such finesse that its patterns of floral wreaths hovering above a background of tiny black dots instinctively attracts a closer look.
Nylon is also the material for the lace fringe work, rising in black bands reminiscent of Spanish lace caught by the artist Velasquez. The dress is gossamer delicate, yet it rests on a support of viscose-spandex lining which gives it strength and durability. It is part of Schmidt's autumn collection titled 'The Golden Rule'; a collection which hints at an autumn of indoors rather than outdoors. It is a collection that so easily whispers of fireplaces, long dinners and, why not, elegant staircases as in this photo from the designer's look book.
The collection is the second such from Deryn Schmidt who established her label in 2009, drawing on years of fascination and years of training which included a period within the Karen Millen empire based in Kent, England.
Deryn Schmidt is stocked by Goodness at 19 College Street, Wellington, and 131 Jackson Street, Petone.


A secondary education is expensive, there's no question about it. Many decide against pursuing a college education for this very reason. Even if you believe that you can't afford a higher education, you shouldn't write off the possibility. Believe it or not, military spouses and family members can receive just as much help as an active-duty service member. There are many programs in place that will offer assistance and educational resources to help you get the most from military education benefits.
The GI Bill was modified after 9/11 to include some substantial benefits for military families. Not only did it strengthen the education benefits for military personnel, it also added a provision that allows service members to share their benefits with immediate family members. There are some limitations, of course, but this means that family members can take full advantage of the program.
If the eligible service member has not used any benefits, or only a small portion of them, the rest of the benefits are transferable. In other words, let's say 12 months of the GI Bill have been used; then the remaining 24 are available to immediate family.
In addition, you can't just transfer over benefits freely. Service members must have served in the military for at least six years, and if benefits are transferred and used, they are obligated to serve a term of at least four more years.
For more information, visit the official Post-9/11 GI Bill website.
The Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts program awards up to $4,000 for military spouses that are pursuing an associate's degree, license, certification or credential for employment.
Of course, there are a few limitations for the program. The active duty service member of the spouse must meet rank requirements – E1-E5, W1-W2 and O1-O2 – and the program of study must be completed within three years of the start date.
Still, this is an exceptional program for anyone with a spouse in the military wishing to pursue a portable career.
For information on the program you can call the hotline at 800-342-9647 or visit the official MyCAA website.
Spouses of veterans are eligible to receive education and training benefits through the Dependents Education Assistance Program. If awarded, up to 45 months of financial benefits are offered and they can be used for any number of educational programs, including degree and certificate programs, apprenticeship and on-the-job training.
As a military spouse, you may even be eligible for a correspondence course, along with remedial, deficiency and refresher courses, provided the right requirements have been met.
It's worth noting that this program is also eligible to surviving spouses and family members of service members or veterans who died during active duty. If you'd like more information, visit the official DEA financial program website.
We can't explore it in full – there's just too much information and too many programs to sort through – but each military branch has a variety of financial assistance programs in place for military personnel and their families. It doesn't matter whether you're connected with the Army, Navy, Marines or Air Force, there is assistance available to you. The best thing to do is to contact your local branch's education assistance program for more information.
Keep in mind that each branch will have its own sets of rules, requirements and limitations in place. You may or may not have to meet certain eligibility requirements before you can obtain assistance.
As with regular college students pursuing a higher education, military personnel and their families may also be eligible for private scholarships and grants. Often, these private financial assistance programs are offered by companies and parties throughout the country who just want to help. Provided you attend school and achieve your final goal, you generally don't have to pay back scholarships and grants – they are simply free financial assistance.
There are scholarships and grants out there tailored specifically for military personnel and their families. One such program, the Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship, offers benefits to surviving family members of veterans and service members who died during active duty. Keep in mind, that's just one of thousands of available programs.
For more information, it's best to see a financial aid advisor at your school or institute of choice. U.S. Veterans Magazine has put together a pretty lengthy list of scholarships and grants for military personnel and family members.
One of the best resources for continuing your education as a military family member is a military friendly school. These schools are known to support military and their families with programs designed to support their needs. Vista College, for instance, is a Top Military School and offers flexible programs and military benefits. With help obtaining military educational benefits, getting an education is much easier and less stressful than ever before.
Finally, there are a whole slew of state-funded benefits available for the families – including children – of veterans who are deceased, MIA, POW or disabled. Some states offer more help than others, while some don't offer much help at all. You'll either have to track down your local state's financial aid program or website for more information, or you can head over to Military.com's state benefits page.
Keep the state benefits in mind, especially if you find you're not eligible for some of the other programs listed above.

"Neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and body mass index among resi" by Jerome N. Rachele, Anne Kavanagh et al.
Despite a body of evidence on the relationship between neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and body mass index (BMI), few studies have examined this relationship over time among ageing populations. This study examined associations between level of neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and the rate of change in BMI over time. The sample included 11,035 participants aged between 40 and 65 years at baseline from the HABITAT study, residing in 200 neighborhoods in Brisbane, Australia. Data were collected biennially over four waves from 2007 to 2013. Self-reported height and weight were used to calculate BMI, while neighborhood disadvantage was measured using a census-based composite index. All models were adjusted for age, education, occupation, and household income. Analyses were conducted using multilevel linear regression models. BMI increased over time at a rate of 0.08 kg/m2 (95% CI 0.02, 0.13) and 0.17 kg/m2 (95% CI 0.11, 0.29) per wave for men and women respectively. Both men and women residing in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods had a higher average BMI than their counterparts living in the least disadvantaged neighborhoods. There were no evident differences in the rate of BMI change over time by level of neighborhood disadvantage. The findings suggest that by mid-older age, the influence of neighborhood socioeconomic conditions over time on BMI may have already played out. Future research should endeavor to identify the genesis of neighborhood socioeconomic inequalities in BMI, the determinants of these inequalities, and then suitable approaches to intervening.

Identification of a potential metal cation-π binding site in the structure of a thermophilic Bacillus stearothermophilus triosephosphate isomerase mutant
J. Wouters, D. Maes
Unit of theoretical and structural physico-chemistry
A potential metal cation-π interaction between a sodium cation (Na+) and the indole ring of a tryptophan residue was detected in the crystallographic structure (2 Å) of the thermophilic Bacillus stearothermophilus triosephosphate isomerase H12N/K13G mutant (bTIMmut). The cation-π binding site is located near the surface of the protein, the alkali metal ion facing the benzo ring of Trp9. The presence of Phe21 and Glu17 close to Trp9 could indicate an additional role for those residues in the stability of the sodium-indole interaction. The sodium cation lies in a position that is occupied by CE and NZ of Lys13 in the wild-type structure.

After reading lots of bad and a few good reviews about house of brides i decided to take a gamble and order my bridesmaid dresses from them.
I told them my wedding was a month before it was, which then gave me enough time to get different ones if they did not arrive.
After 16 weeks and 1 week past the made up wedding date my dresses have arrived.
They are absolutly gorgeous, packaged well and i love them.
When i did contact house of brides they were very helpful and true to there word.

Fewer than 10% of the planet's 132 largest energy companies have promised to reduce damaging emissions to net zero and a majority of firms do not publicly support the 2015 Paris Agreement according to research. Read on to find out more.
Thirteen pledges
While the UK, the EU, other states, cities and companies have made firm commitments to achieving net-zero by 2050 or in some cases by 2030, the majority of corporations at the heart of the problem appear unwilling to act.
The companies refusing to set out plans include many household names which also play a big role in energy generation and infrastructure.
The research produced by teams at the University of Oxford, the London School of Economics (LSE), and the Transition Pathway Initiative, shows that, four years after the 2015 Paris Agreement, a mere 13 out of 132 coal, electricity, and oil and gas giants have made pledges to do their part to meet the internationally-agreed targets.
According to many scientists, the agreement itself was a watered-down political compromise and nowhere near ambitious enough to tackle the climate emergency we face.
What else did the researchers find?
Publicly available data on twenty coal companies, 50 oil and gas companies and 62 electricity companies were analysed by the researchers.
The following table shows the companies which have set a date for reducing emissions from at least one of their core businesses to net zero:
Net-zero target date
BHP Billington Coal mining 2050-2100
Exxaro Resources Coal mining 2030
South32 Coal mining 2050
CEZ Electricity 2050
EDF Electricity 2050
Endesa Electricity 2050
Enel Electricity 2050
E.On Electricity 2050
Iberdrola Electricity 2050
National Grid Electricity 2025
Ørsted Electricity 2025
XCEL Energy Electricity 2050
Eni Oil and gas 2030
As the table shows nine of the 13 set a date of 2050 to achieve net-zero and two set a date of 2030.
The UK-based National Grid and Danish firm Ørsted plan for the most ambitious target of 2025, suggesting these companies are well on their way to fulfilling at least some of the Paris Agreement goals.
Some of the published plans tackle all, or most, of a company's total carbon emissions, others are aimed at a portion.
Most of the commitments by coal, oil and gas extraction firms deal just with their own operational emissions, but ignore "downstream emissions" caused by other firms burning their products.
For context, according to the Centre for Climate Energy Solutions, the energy industry and its customers were responsible for about 72% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2013.
How many of these companies support the Paris Agreement?
Out of the 132 companies examined only 39% stated support for the aims of the Paris Agreement which was signed by 194 of the world's 206 nations as well as the European Union.
What's more, in spite of the "long-lasting or irreversible changes" for the planet caused by the climate emergency and growing public alarm, just 20% of the energy and extraction giants actually admit the necessity of achieving net-zero emissions.
How did the researchers react to their findings?
Professor Simon Dietz, at the LSE's Grantham Research Institute, said "net-carbon dioxide emissions must fall to zero to stabilise global temperatures."
"Limiting the temperature increase to 1.5°C requires global carbon dioxide emissions to reach net-zero around 2050. Although new corporate net-zero commitments are being made all the time, our analysis shows that we are starting from a very low base." -Professor Simon Dietz, at the LSE's Grantham Research Institute.
Adam Matthews, Co-Chair of Transition Pathway Initiative said the research highlighted the "gap between what is needed to achieve 1.5 degrees and where current commitments from companies are at."
"While it's clear that the energy sector is far from where it should be on planning for net zero, the fact that we are beginning to assess these commitments, as well as letting companies know we are scrutinising their approach, will no doubt drive further company responses."- Adam Matthews, Co-Chair of Transition Pathway Initiative
The science shows that net-carbon emissions must be reduced to zero around 2050 to keep the rise in global temperatures under 1.5°C.
After that point, no more carbon can be emitted into the atmosphere unless the emissions are offset with savings or carbon sequestration in other areas, for example by planting new forests or protecting existing ones.
Although 13 of the firms have a plan, it's obvious that expecting every multinational corporation profiting from the extraction and selling of fossil fuels to work for net-zero carbon emissions is like asking the clichéd Mr Fox to organize security for your hen house.
Luckily consumers concerned for their environment and their children's future can vote with their wallets. Here at the Switch we can connect you to experts on hand to point you in the direction of energy companies who do support the Paris Agreements with their 100% renewable energy supplies and their tariffs definitely won't cost you the Earth.

The human body has a total of 206 bones. At the points where 2 bones meet, we have a joint. Joints allow us to perform various movements and functions with our body otherwise we would simply be one stiff skeletal structure. Where 2 bones meet, we have a layer of cartilage and fluid which allows the smooth travel of bone over bone. In order to keep the skeletal structure in place, bones are held together by a tough string-like substance called ligaments. Surrounding the bones are muscles which themselves are held together by structures called tendons.
The wear and tear on these structures occurs through years of usage. Furthermore, injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents, sports etc. can greatly weaken these structures. Additional factors that contribute to wear and tear are excessive body weight as well as a poor diet and lifestyle causing greater inflammation in the joints and the surrounding areas. When this happens, pain and joint instability occurs. When a joint becomes unstable, muscles around the area contract and tighten up to compensate for the weakness as well as to "protect" the weakened area. This leads to multiple muscle imbalances, further joint instability and chronic pain.
At our clinic we offer various joint healing therapies that can correct these imbalances and improve the structural integrity of your joints. Pain and discomfort is usually what brings patients into the clinic. Living with it can be debilitating, affecting all areas of life.

William Roberts (born 1863) was a Welsh footballer who played as a forward in the 1880s and made one appearance for Wales.

Football career
Roberts was born in Rhyl in north-east Wales and started his football career at his local club. At Rhyl, he was a "good dribbler and very tricky" who "combined well with his colleagues". He was an opportunistic player who excelled at "individual runs". As team captain, he helped Rhyl reach the final of the Northern Welsh F.A. in 1883.

His solitary international appearance came at the Kennington Oval against England on 3 February 1883 when he was a late replacement for Thomas Britten, thus becoming the first international player from Rhyl. His international appearance was not a success as the match finished 5–0 in favour of the home country with three goals from Clement Mitchell. Roberts' performance was criticised for his lack of experience: "He may play fairly well for his own club but cannot be said to have been a success against England".

Later career
A butcher by trade, Roberts moved to Manchester in 1885, where he turned out for the local Welsh expatriate side.

Q: set difference for duplicates in the second range, alternative remove_copy I have two arrays or vectors, say:
  int first[] = {0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3,3};
  int second[] = {1,3};

I would like to get rid of the 1s and 3s in the first set, set_difference can only get rid of the first occurrences of these values however this is not what I want to have.
Should I do this with remove_copy by iterating on the second range and each time remove one entry from the first set.
What would be the best way to do this in C++?

A: Write a specialised set_difference:
template <typename InputIterator1, typename InputIterator2, typename OutputIterator>
OutputIterator set_difference_any( InputIterator1 first1, InputIterator1 last1,
                                   InputIterator2 first2, InputIterator2 last2,
                                   OutputIterator result )
{
  while ( first1 != last1 && first2 != last2 )
    if ( *first1 < *first2 ) {
      *result = *first1;
      ++first1;
      ++result;
    } else if ( *first2 < *first1 ) {
      ++first2;
    } else {
      ++first1;
      //++first2; // this is the difference to set_difference
    }
  return std::copy( first1, last1, result );
}

Then apply it to the problem:
#include "set_difference_any.h"
#include <boost/range.hpp>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>

std::vector<int> result;
set_difference_any( boost::begin( first ), boost::end( first ),
                    boost::begin( second ), boost::end( second ),
                    std::back_inserter( result ) );

This algorithm is linear (max. last1-first1 + last2-first2 comparisions)

A: You should write simple function or functional which returns true if element is in second and false otherwise (lets call it ok). And then use std::remove_if or std::remove_copy_if:
first.erase(std::remove_if(first.begin(), first.end(), ok));

P.S. considered that first is std::vector<int> and not array.

A: Are you sure set_difference won't work? The standard in 25.3.5 says

This section defines all the basic set
  operations on sorted structures. They
  also work with multisets containing
  multiple copies of equivalent
  elements.

And the description of set_difference just says it gives you everything in first not in second, which is what you want.

A: The general solution, for when second has more than a few elements: make an std::set (or unordered_set) of the elements in second, then loop through first, removing anything that is not the set. (By loop I mean for, while, remove_if, whatever.)

In a Nutshell: For more than 100 years, Trustco Bank has provided a personalized touch to its customers. The institution's home equity loan and line of credit are our 2019 Editor's Choice™ for their low rates and flexible terms. Both products lend up to $300,000 and eschew the appraisal, origination, and closing fees that other lenders often charge. Loans typically close within 30 days.
Unexpected expenses arise and finding the money to pay for life's surprises can end up costing more than you anticipated, thanks to finance charges and hidden fees imposed by lenders looking to benefit from your financial hardship.
And, as many credit card issuers continue to raise their interest rates, you may find yourself stuck in the vicious cycle of making minimum payments, which only exacerbates the problem.
But not every financial institution tries to gouge its customers with rate hikes and hidden fees. Since 1902, Trustco Bank has prided itself on being a neighborhood bank — even as that neighborhood has expanded past its Schenectady, New York, roots and into five states.
Today, Trustco continues its long-standing practice of looking after its customers by offering a line of home equity products that do away with common fees and offers low rates to help consumers pay down high-interest debt or cover a big purchase.
In April 2018, S&P Global Intelligence rated Trustco Bank the 15th best-performing savings bank in the country.
Breen noted that Trustco doesn't automate any of its departments, meaning that, when you call the bank with a question or concern, you'll talk to an actual person whose top priority is meeting your needs.
And that can be especially handy if you're deciding between Trustco's two main home equity products. The home equity loan and home equity credit line both offer benefits to consumers who've accumulated equity in their home and want to use it to create some financial breathing room.
Consumers who have flexible spending needs may find Trustco's home equity credit line to be just what they need. The line of credit works for first or second mortgages and offers credit limits between $7,500 and $300,000 with a fixed 12-month introductory interest period. After the intro period, the interest rate increases to the Wall Street Journal prime rate.
"The home equity credit line product is something that we try to offer to customers who are looking to consolidate things like high-interest credit card debt or pay for small home improvements," Breen said.
Breen added that some customers take out the home equity line of credit as an emergency fund and don't withdraw from the loan unless they need to. This is especially useful since customers only pay interest on whatever funds they've withdrawn from the loan.
Trustco Bank can be found in New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Florida.
Home equity credit lines allow a draw period of up to 10 years, followed by a 20-year repayment period. Once a payment is made on the account, the available balance increases.
That affordability is a key factor that separates Trustco's home equity products from credit cards or traditional loans when customers want to consolidate high-interest debt or make a sizeable purchase.
Home equity loans are typically better suited for borrowers who know exactly what they're going to use the money for, as the loan proceeds are paid out in one lump sum, with interest charged to the entire loan amount.
That's different from the home equity credit line, which allows borrowers to withdraw the approved loan amount in smaller increments over the 10-year draw period and only pay interest charges on withdrawn funds.
That's why you'll often find consumers needing to make larger purchases opting for loans instead of credit lines. Trustco understands the differing needs of these two types of customers and has designed both products to work for their intended borrower.
Trustco's home equity loans have fixed interest rates for both first and second mortgages and lend between $5,000 and $300,000.
As with the home equity credit line, Trustco doesn't charge most of the fees that other institutions tack on — including appraisal and origination fees and closing costs. This helps to keep your overall loan balance down and your payments more affordable.
So often in today's tech-driven society, financial institutions opt to trade personal contact for quick service. We've become conditioned as consumers to sit through multiple automated prompts when calling banks, credit card issuers, or other service providers in search of a quick answer.
Trustco Bank has been servicing clients since 1902.
Trustco Bank doesn't believe in robot assistants who never seem to properly respond to your question. For more than 100 years, the institution has put the communities it serves first by providing a dedicated staff that works to meet every customer's needs.
That attention to detail has helped grow the institution from a small town in New York to more than 140 branches in five states with over $4.9 billion in total assets as of December 2017.
It's also nice when you aren't surprised by hidden fees and charges. Trustco's transparent pricing lets customers know right away what they'll be paying for their loan. While that may seem like a no-brainer, it's not as common as it should be in today's banking world.
If you have existing high-interest debt that needs consolidating or a large purchase looming in your future, Trustco Bank may be your best choice, and that's why it's our 2019 Editor's Choice.

Antofagasta minerals
Twin metals
Over the past few years, Antofagasta Minerals has gradually been renegotiating its power purchase agreements (PPAs), switching them from conventional sources - principally coal - to renewables. Indeed, on 2018 Minera Zaldívar was the first Chilean mining company that signed a new power plant supply agreement to operate with 100% renewable energy: a combination of hydro, solar, and wind power.
As a result, as from 2022, 100% of the power used by Antofagasta's mining operations will be generated from renewable sources.
According to figures from Chile's Mining Ministry, that puts Antofagasta Minerals ahead of the trend in the industry. The authorities estimate that, by 2023, 45% of the industry's electricity consumption will be renewable.
The transition has already begun. The first new PPA –for all the electricity required by the Zaldívar mine– came into force in July. It will be followed by Los Pelambres –with the exact date of the full switch depending on the start-up of a new hydroelectric plant– and, at the beginning of 2022, by Antucoya and Centinela.
No stranger to renewables
Antofagasta Minerals' experience of renewable energies dates back to the early years of the present decade. At that time, renewables were still extremely expensive, not only in Chile, but also internationally. However, Chile was in a bind: the flow of cheap natural gas from Argentine had dried up and power supply security had become a major concern.
In that context, Los Pelambres, the largest of the company's four operations in Chile, led the development of three renewable energy projects: the El Arrayán wind farm and the Javiera and Conejo solar plants. It has since exited these investments, but they continue to supply part of the operation's power.
"Supply was, of course, the primary motivation for these projects, but we were also looking to open the renewable energy market, to show that the technology was feasible, not something NASA-like," says Roberto Muñoz, energy manager at Antofagasta Minerals.
At around that time, Los Pelambres also embarked on a self-generation project that was hailed as an important mining innovation: a mineral conveyor belt that produces its own electricity. Still in operation, it takes advantage of a drop-in height over the length of the 12-kilometre belt to generate some 150 GWh/year, equivalent to around 10% of the operation's total electricity consumption.
Over the past ten years, the price of renewable energies has dropped dramatically, and they are currently cheaper, as well as cleaner, than coal-fired electricity. With electricity accounting for 13% of Antofagasta Minerals' operating costs, the PPA renegotiations will mean savings that Muñoz describes as "very significant".
This also favours the objective that the company set in 2017, to reduce its GHG emissions by 300,000 tons between 2018 and 2022.
Looking ahead, Antofagasta Minerals –whose electricity consumption, at some 3,600 GWh, is equivalent to around 7% of the total consumption of Chilean households– is aware of its potential to contribute to the country's goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. "Our next target has to be in line with that goal," says Muñoz.
With Scope 2 emissions now well in hand, the next great challenge the company has set itself is to reduce direct (or Scope 1) emissions by identifying and adopting alternatives to the use of diesel. "We are convinced that copper mining is key for us all to live in a more sustainable world," says CEO Iván Arriagada, "and that implies using cleaner technologies for transport as well as generating electricity."
But renewables energies can also help to reduce Scope 1 emissions. The solar energy that is so plentiful in northern Chile's Atacama desert, where three of the company's operations are located, can be used, for example, to replace diesel for heating leaching solutions. This is an area in which Centinela has some early experience.
Electromobility, for which the company is in the process of drawing up its own roadmap, also promises to be important. As well as its implications for future copper demand, it may offer a solution for mining trucks and their thirst for diesel. What is clear, however, is that Scope 1 emissions pose a challenge that is far more diverse than the renegotiation of PPAs.

L'épée de saint Pierre (en latin :  ; en polonais : ) est une relique chrétienne, aujourd'hui conservée au Musée archidiocésain de Poznań.

Elle est associée à l'épée par laquelle, d'après l'Évangile selon Jean, l'apôtre Pierre trancha l'oreille droite de Malchus, un serviteur de Caïphe, le grand prêtre du Temple de Jérusalem, lors de l'arrestation de Jésus au Gethsémani.

Une copie en est exposée à la basilique-archicathédrale Saint-Pierre-et-Paul de Poznań.

Historique

Selon la légende locale, l'épée est un don du pape Jean XIII au premier évêque polonais Jordan ou au premier duc historique de Pologne Mieszko . Arrivée à Poznań en 968, elle est conservée dans le trésor de la cathédrale, exposé dans la nef. L'épée est mentionnée pour la première fois en 1475 dans les  (vies des évêques polonais) du chroniqueur polonais Jan Długosz qui se trompe en écrivant que l'épée est un don du pape Étienne VIII, mort en 942.

Les ostensions de l'arme se font plus rares au siècle des Lumières qui voit un déclin du culte des reliques. Au , elle est placée dans la sacristie et depuis la fin des années 1980, elle est conservée au Musée archidiocésain de Poznań.

Description
L'épée adopte une forme assez inhabituelle de couperet ou machette. Elle a une longueur de  sur, dans sa plus grande largeur, .

This year I want to become a better person. Therefore, I have decided to set a theme rather than specific goals for this year. As I already told my family, friends, and posted on my personal blog, my theme for 2019 is more movement, patience, and positivity.
If you sit back and think about it, these things can be applied to build better mental health.
Movement, for me, this means self-care. I want to exercise more. I have lost some weight and an inch off my waist. I am going to keep exercising even after I reach my weight loss goal. I am going to stress less by writing in my journal, reading, and just taking time for myself.
Patience- This is a value I do not have, and I want to work on being patient. I want to work on having more patience when it comes to setting and achieving my goals, which includes maintaining my mental health.
Positivity- I want to focus on being more positive rather than being negative. I want to continue volunteering in my community. I love volunteering for SANE: Changing Mental Health For Good by writing blogs; I am excited to continue to write for them.


For many people suffering from mental illness in the U.S., proper treatment can be difficult to find. But in a HuffPost Live discussion on challenges that the mentally ill face, Lisa Halpern shared her success story, explaining how her schizophrenia ultimately helped her find a job.
"I'm Director of Recovery Services at Vinfen, and part of my job is that I have lived experience with illness -- it's part of my job title," she told host Nancy Redd. "I head up the peer services at Vinfen. It's a non-profit mental health services provider. I head up 18 peer recovery coordinators, which are people with mental illness on our outreach team, who work full-time and who work as models of recovery."
Halpern's schizophrenia symptoms began while she was an undergrad at Duke University, but they quickly worsened when she began graduate school at Harvard.
"I started getting lost on the three-block walk to school. I started getting lost in subway stations. One day I looked down at the coins in my hand -- they all looked exactly the same. I was unable to wash my clothes in the laundry machine, I stopped bathing and washing my clothes, unable to write checks, wash dishes, finally lost the ability to read and write. My IQ was tested at 70, which is borderline mental retardation -- it was a very swift and quick decline for me. A medical leave from school became inevitable."
Joining Halpern and Redd in the conversation were mental health blogger Natasha Tracy, Dr. Deepu Gowda, assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University, and Dionne Monsanto, a life coach who works to raise awareness of mental illness in the black community.
