China's Population Control Program Will Begin Forced Sterilization
April 24, 2010: Peter Sharp / Sky News – April 24, 2010
Health authorities are planning to sterilise nearly 10,000 people in southern China over the next four days as part of a population control programme. Some of the people in Puning City will be forced to have the procedure carried out against their will. Amnesty International says forced sterilisation "amounts to torture".
Reports in the Chinese media say that Puning Health authorities in Guangdong Province have launched a special campaign to sterilise people who already have at least one child in order to ensure local birth control quotas are met. Chinese newspaper reports say that those who refuse to be sterilised have seen their elderly mothers or fathers taken away and detained. Hundreds of people in Puning are said to have been locked up.
Kate Allen, Director of Amnesty International UK, said: "It is appalling that the authorities are subjecting people to such an invasive procedure against their will. Reports that relatives are imprisoned as a means of pressurising couples into submitting to surgery are incredibly concerning. The Puning City authorities must condemn this practice immediately and ensure that others are not forcibly sterilised."
More than 1,300 people in the city have been held in local government buildings where they were given "lectures" on China's family planning regulations.
Huang Ruifeng is the father of three girls. "Several days ago, a village official called me and asked me or my wife to return for the surgery," Huang told the local paper. "Otherwise they would take away my father." He refused. His father was later rounded up and detained by the authorities. According to Puning rules, farmers are allowed to have a second child if the first child was a girl.

Neocon Bloggers Are Celebrating Indictment Of "Crazy" Jihad Jane
March 11, 2010: Kurt Nimmo / Infowars – March 10, 2010
Neocon bloggers are triumphant over the announced prosecution of Colleen LaRose aka Jihad Jane or Fatima LaRose. According to Right Wing News, the case proves conclusively that surveillance works, never mind the obvious detriment to the Fourth Amendment and the Bill of Rights.
"A few thoughts. First, this is the type of case that does belong in civilian court, as she is an American citizen. Second, this is, at first appearance, the exact type of case that should be tried as treason, and as a capital case, which doesn't seem to be in the works. Third, our so-called by liberals/Bush haters 'domestic surveillance' works," writes William Teach.
Not that much surveillance was required. LaRose had MySpace and YouTube pages where she openly espoused her apparently overnight adopted religious and political views. Fox News darling Michelle Malkin gave a hat-tip to the Jawa Report for its reporting on Jihad Jane, who was apparently so high profile on the internet she begged to be surveilled and arrested.
Ms. Jihad was apparently so out in the open she drew the attention of the FBI early on, but only after a coterie of dedicated web-surfing neocon sleuths got on the case. "The FBI questioned her about soliciting funds for terrorism and posting on terrorist websites under the username Jihad Jane in July last year. But LaRose showed considerable naivety," reports the Guardian.
In addition to naivety, LaRose was described as insane by neighbors. "She was the weird, weird, weird lady who lived across the hall. We always called her the crazy lady," neighbor Eric Newell told The Los Angeles Times. Her ex-boyfriend told authorities LaRose was not religious. "Her boyfriend of five years said LaRose had never hinted at Muslim leanings or attended religious services of any kind. Kurt Gorman, 47, of Pennsburg, said that he met LaRose in Texas and that nothing seemed amiss until she moved out of their apartment without warning in August," reports the Associated Press.
And yet the federal indictment against LaRose "paints a picture of a woman whose devotion to the cause grew as she prowled the Internet and conversed with a loose band of terrorist suspects in Europe and South Asia." Ms. Jihad stands accused of plotting to kill Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who had angered Muslims by depicting the Prophet Muhammad on the body of a dog.
"Today's indictment, which alleges that a woman from suburban America agreed to carry out murder overseas and to provide material support to terrorists, underscores the evolving nature of the threat we face," said David Kris, assistant attorney general for national security.
LaRose was arrested in October but not indicted until yesterday, March 9. The official reason given for this was that her case is intimately linked to the arrests Tuesday of seven Muslims in Ireland in connection with a scheme to kill Vilks who supposedly has a $100,000 al-Qaeda bounty on his head. "European news reports said Irish police, who arrested the four men and three women, had coordinated the operation with the United States," The New York Times reports.
The FBI is renowned for making terrorist mountains out of patsy mole hills. The agency's corporate media celebrated arrests on terrorism charges usually fizzle in the courtroom, long after the media displays the requisite hoopla for propaganda purposes. "Terror threats facing the United States prompt federal investigators to act quickly but have brought mostly minor charges in court cases, records show," the UPI reported in 2008. "There have been no new attacks on U.S. soil, but also few stunning victories in court against homegrown terrorist 'sleeper cells,' the [The Washington Post] said. And there have been some high-profile acquittals or hung juries in terror investigations."
For instance, in 2008, a jury twice deadlocked in the Miami trial of the "Liberty City Seven," a group of impoverished Miami laborers accused of planning to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago. When they were indicted in 2006, Attorney General Gonzales declared the government had just thwarted "a full ground war against the United States."
During the Miami trial, the supposed leader of the group testified that he'd never planned on blowing anything up. He was just trying to get some money out of the informant who was egging them on. The FBI relies almost exclusively on paid informants.
"Many of these cases appear to be the informant who is either working off a case to avoid going to jail or being deported or is seeking remuneration, approaching some people and getting them excited, getting them angry and persuading them to join in what has been described as terrorism conspiracies." Sam Schmidt, a lawyer who represented one of the men accused in the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Africa, told The Washington Independent.
Regardless of the recent arrest of Muslims allegedly plotting ill-will in Ireland, the announcement of LaRose's indictment yesterday makes sense when recent events are taken into consideration — a recent video by American al-Qaeda member Adam Gadahn calling for death and destruction of all things infidel and still fresh memories of the mental case John Patrick Bedell shooting police officers outside the Pentagon and the highly suspect case of Joe Stack supposedly flying a plane into an IRS building in Austin, Texas.
Jihad Jane is a near perfect patsy for a government eager to extend indefinitely the phony GWOT against the mirage of cave-dwelling terrorists who are said to have relocated to Anywhereville, USA. She is also fodder for an insatiable corporate media looking for Muslim miscreants under every rock, especially white all-American Muslims (and anti-government "extremists") who supposedly represent the new face of terrorism that the government and the Mockingbird corporate media insist requires a fresh round of indignities — from naked body scanners to cell phone tracking and beyond — all of it indicative of a pervasive loss of liberty in America…

Real-life drama in Trump era rivals TV scripts
New administration constantly threatening to outdo anything the cleverest writer could dream up, showrunners say
Real-life drama in Trump era rivals TV scripts New administration constantly threatening to outdo anything the cleverest writer could dream up, showrunners say Check out this story on detroitnews.com: http://detne.ws/2tcDVoi
Frazier Moore, Associated Press Published 5:56 p.m. ET June 26, 2017
Today's White House is resetting the boundaries of political intrigue for such shows as "House of Cards," which stars Kevin Spacey.(Photo: David Giesbrecht / AP)
New York — Say you're a storyteller whose TV show draws inspiration from real-life Washington.
Whether portraying the noble geopolitics of "Madam Secretary" or the dirty deeds on "House of Cards," the high-stakes fumbling on "Veep" or the scourge of terrorism that haunts "Homeland," script writers have always faced the challenge of being topical yet inventive without straying outside the bounds of plausibility.
Then the Donald Trump presidency struck. Almost overnight the unexpected or unthinkable became the new normal, with real-life drama constantly threatening to outdo anything the cleverest writer could dream up.
The writers of Showtime's "Homeland" are already brainstorming next season, "and every day the landscape changes," says Alex Gansa, an executive producer and co-creator of the Claire Danes-starring spy thriller. "It's very difficult to keep up with.
"We are in extremely unusual times," he says, "and sometimes it feels like nothing we dramatize on 'Homeland' can be nearly as scary as what's actually happening on the world stage."
Melissa James Gibson is a showrunner for Netflix's "House of Cards," which stars Kevin Spacey as a cut-throat chief of state. She has a similar lament about Trump's impact.
"It's true that we are being met with a certain brand of audacity in real life," she says. "I think it engenders a sick impulse — 'What's he gonna do today?' — where we're looking for our drama from the real-life president, as if THAT were a show."
"I'm very jealous," jokes David Mandel, showrunner for HBO's political satire "Veep," where Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays a blunder-beset former president. "We work very hard on our scripts. They seem to be better at the job than I am."
CBS' "Madam Secretary" follows the career and family demands borne by Elizabeth McCord, the soft-spoken, hard-charging U.S. Secretary of State played by Tea Leoni.
When the series began three seasons ago, "we wanted to show a government where people still valued others' opinions and things still got done," says executive producer Lori McCreary. Now, with the widening political breach, she sees the show as more than ever "an aspirational version of where we are — and, I hope, a much-needed break from all the craziness of the news."
But trying to forecast true-life foreign relations as grist for storytelling has become even trickier in the Trump era, says "Madam Secretary" executive producer and creator Barbara Hall.
The recent season finale found Secretary McCord seeking help from NATO nations to ease an international flare-up.
When Hall was writing the script months ago, she was well aware that NATO was a sore subject with Trump, who had called it "obsolete" as a candidate.
"But there was no way to know where it would land," says Hall. "We ended up doing an episode that as much as anything explained the history of NATO and what it was for, with our administration supporting it."
By chance, the finale's May airing coincided with Trump's visit to Brussels. Even though by that point he had reversed his position on NATO's "obsolescence," he created a diplomatic stir by scolding other NATO members, and appeared to shove Montenegro's prime minister to get a prime spot for the photo op.
On "Veep" last month, hapless former president Selina Meyer traveled to Qatar. There, addressing an Arab conference on human rights, she gave in to political pressure and tried to gloss over the oppression to women she had planned to decry.
The day the episode aired, Trump's traveled to Saudi Arabia where he praised that country's progress in empowering its women — who, as more than one observer noted, aren't allowed to drive or be out in public without a male escorting them.
"You just can't plan that," says "Veep" writer Mandel of the harmonic convergence.

In the early 1960s the Rolling Stones played many of their earliest gigs at the club, but in recent years the club has struggled to pay the rent. Now, it may close unless it finds a sponsor. "Are you ready to save the 100 Club?" Wood asked the screaming crowd as he took the stage.
Keith Richards On Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and the New Memoir Life
At the benefit Dick Taylor (the Stones' original bassist, who later formed The Pretty Things) jammed with late 1960s/early 1970s guitarist Mick Taylor and his replacement Ron Wood. The three Stones had never before shared a stage and have rarely played together in any capacity. Their set included staples of early 1960s 100 Club gigs, including "Spoonful" and "Shaking All Over." (Watch the video above for their performance of "Fancy Pants.")

It's great to see Mick Taylor back in the fold; he had been out of the limelight for a very long time, though the band did recently bring him back to the studio to record new guitar overdubs on Exile On Main St. outtakes. Plus, with Mick and Keith feuding again there's no telling when the Stones are going to reform.

Talking down to isn't belittling someone, there is a subtle difference. For example calling Kris by his rank is one example.
I would say that it's customary to address someone based on rank, actually. Kris is a squire, so it's not as if she's actually being disrespectful.
Though I guess you are saying how its worded seems bad. Hence why I noticed now that you made this for @Hero of the Fire Emblems:
MS204_ED3_1_PCF1:
ELICE enters
ELICE: Oh my... You are one of the squires, are you not?
AVATAR: Ah, yes. I'm AVATAR. I came here hoping to become an Altean knight. And you are...?
ELICE: I am Elice. Marth's elder sister.
AVATAR: Oh! Prince Marth's elder sister... Please excuse my lack of manners.
ELICE: It's alright, AVATAR... I think it's very admirable that you've come to help Marth.
AVATAR: It is an honor to serve Prince Marth, the Hero-King.
ELICE: "Hero-King," you say...? It does seem that the people have grown fond of calling him that. But the truth of the matter is that Marth... Marth is still an idealistic young man.
AVATAR: Prince Marth is idealistic...?
ELICE: Yes, but that does not diminish Marth's accomplishments. Marth will always be the hero of the War of Shadows--yet he will always be a man who holds firmly to his ideals, as well. Still, AVATAR that is no weakness. Instead there are times when ideals collide with reality, and a choice must be made.
AVATAR: I... see.
ELICE: Even as we speak, somewhere unknown to us, innocent lives are being lost. Sadly not even the "Hero-King" can be everywhere, save everyone. Marth is no god--but to be worthy of the title "Hero-King," he believes he must hold himself to the standards of one.
AVATAR: You're right... No matter how excellent a king, he is not almighty. No ruler is. With all the stories of the "Hero-King", it's easy to forget that kings are still just human.
ELICE: Ah, now you're beginning to understand. Most people accept this fact, and temper their ideals to suit reality. But Marth cannot do that. He truly must save everyone. If he fails even one friend, one comrade, one innocent... It is unbearable to him. He can hide it if he must, but any loss weighs upon him heavily, and Marth's heart is no stranger to regret...
AVATAR: ......
ELICE: In this harsh world, it will be difficult for him to keep hold of those virtues... Still though he holds himself to such ideals. AVATAR, if you truly wish to be among Marth's knights, you must do more than protect the man--you must protect his ideals. For without his ideals for would be no "Hero-King" and for Marth failing to hold true to his ideals would be worse than losing his life.
I only noticed two changes here, referring to Elice saying that Kris is "one of" the squires, and changing the words to say that Marth is idealistic, rather than thoughtful, sensitive.
Valkeir
I changed more than that, as I mentioned Elice calling Kris by his rank is gone. Instead I used AVATAR as this lends more of a confiding nature to the entire conversation. I also rephrased and changed a few other sentences in structure and by rewriting parts, the last sentence is one such example. The formality of using rank to refer to someone feels out of place for such a conversation, because as I mentioned this is something she's confiding in a potential companion of Marth rather than just something she's saying to a random recruit. By using Kris's name instead of their rank it makes the conversation more intimate and implies a sense of intimacy to the conversation. Similar to how if you were a driver for someone then you'd like them more if they called you by name rather just calling you driver all the time, you're more likely to want to help them by them bothering to learn and use your name.
I simply applied that principle and reinforced Marth's humanity and contrast to his myth, Elice mentioned "hero-king" more in my version to reinforce to Kris how Marth isn't his legend.

FE12 content keeps coming to Fire Emblem Heroes, slowly but surely. While a new character has not been added, as was the case with Fallen Hardin, instead we have a smaller but still important note in the form of an item update:
Like Clarisse's Bow and Legion's Axe before it, Reese's Tome (named "Hellfire" in the older versions of the fan translation) has been added to Fire Emblem Heroes as Katarina's personal weapon, to be retroactively added to her learnset sometime around July 8th. In FE12, this weapon was one of the rare character-based items one could acquire from the Barracks function. With this news, it is safe to assume Intelligent Systems will add other FE12 character items to Archanean units when they need to buff them, such as Ogma's Blade or Roderick's Lance. We will be keeping a close eye on any further developments in Heroes, especially considering the recent, suspicious slew of Archanean characters getting new personal weapons or forge options for their existing personal weapons.
Astute readers and players may in fact notice the Japanese reads Katarina's Tome, not Reese's Tome; the use of Reese instead was a change by the localization team here. This is likely because "Katarina's Tome" simply will not fit as a name in Heroes; and all the better, it wouldn't fit in FE12 either. However, "Reese's Tome" fits perfectly in both Heroes and FE12.
On a similar note, this localization choice also implies "Merric's Tome" as another localized name for a different weapon; that name fits and has also been implemented.
Further progress and developments will be posted; rest assured that this patch is not dead.

I'll be posting another translation comparison using BSFE chapter 1, "Fall of the Palace," after my work with the Shadow Dragon Full Content Patch has calmed down. I'm kind of double-dipping with SD hacking and FE12 translation, sorry about that - but the SD work is winding down, so I'll be back to focusing on the translation shortly.

Hi, and thanks for your work here. I just want to know if I need to apply both updates or just the beta2?

The patch isn't finished; all of the updates being worked on and discussed are for Beta 3, as well as the vast majority of the dialogue corrections and updates. Beta 2 is a little over a year out of date.
If you want to patch the game you need to patch Beta 2 to a rom that has already been patched with the HoS patch, and then the game will have the Beta 2 release.
However, that said, beta 2 is still a year out of date; it is nowhere near reflective of the work that has been going on.

If you caught these before, my apologies, but a couple points I personally noticed. (Though, props to Heroes of Shadow, it's a great translation)
In the final chapter of the game, there's some dialogue which uses God with a capital G. (As well as some support conversations, I think). This is really weird, especially when characters still say "oh, gods!" This deserves another look.
In Luke and Roderick's support, they specify "getting laid" and "the lay-deez." The first of which would never be in an official translation, and the latter sounds like cringy internet speak.
Additionally, some of the dialogue really overtly talks about dying and killing. Was FE11's dialogue this overt (it's been awhile since I've played it)? I thought they would usually say something like "defeat."
I'll look through the script again shortly. Are you keeping the "damns" and such? Not that it bothers me, and it does bring the game script closer to Awakening, but it feels unusual compared to SD.
One final personal note: I still think "Heroes of Light and Shadow" is a better subtitle by itself. New Mystery sounds like a typical Japanese remake name, and it's only in FEH because a lack of an official title. I think the former is what NoA would've picked, as not only does it keep "Shadow" as a motif, but the war is the War of Heroes, which doubles the relevance. Using both sounds way too long, but I understand
Some edits: What exactly is Pales referring to? Is this just supposed to mean the palace?
Edited July 10, 2018 by xatzimi
I have a question. Will this also include any information that was omitted from the original? In Mystery of the Emblem, Xane explains how the Earth Dragons were the closest in strength to the Divine Dragons, but New Mystery doesn't say any comparison. Also doesn't mention all the Dragon tribes like the Flying one.
Another one is that Gotoh never reveals that Adrah, the first King of Archanea was a thief that stole the Shield of Seals. This was mentioned in the original but omitted in the remake.

It's referring to Archanea's capital, the Millenium Court. Or is Millenium Court just the palace complex? The game never cared enough to elaborate. IIRC, it used to be just "Palace" (hence Engrishified as Pales) in the Japanese version of SD and Book 1.
So with Legendary Marth out, we can say the official localization of the Shield of Seals... is Binding Shield. So guess the original translation of that works.
On 8/27/2018 at 8:08 AM, omegaxis1 said:
It also did not go unnoticed, but the country Marth makes out of merging the nations of Archanea is also now "The Archanean Alliance" instead of the United Kingdom of Archanea. And War of Heroes is official now, too- War of Shadows first showed up in Warriors, and gets reaffirmed here.

I'm actually holding my friend off from playing New Mystery of the Emblem until Beta 3 comes out! I think it will be well worth the wait.
But I did have some concerns about a specific support conversation between Male Kris and Luke, and I'd be so happy if that was changed before beta 3 was released. It's at the end of their first conversation and Luke is all like, "Don't fall in love with me" and Kris is all like, "I... don't swing that way." I really can't see it being officially localized that way, and I also really don't like that line for an avatar character. Like, if I was to do what the game wants me to and insert myself in there, seeing an in-game me say that really takes me out of the experience. Cause I actually just so happen to swing that way. You know?
I hope it's not a big issue or anything, I'd just really like that to be changed. Like Female Kris as a response says, "Oh, I wouldn't worry about that." and I think that line is more vague and can be interpreted in anyway you'd like. I don't know what Male Kris says in the Japanese version, but I think a simple line change like, "Yeah, in your dreams." would work really well, but that's just an example from someone who doesn't know Japanese.
So yeah, I am extremely thankful for everyone who's working on this translation, as well as everyone who worked on the original one. I wouldn't be able to experience FE12 to it's full extent without it. And I'm really hoping I'm not bugging anyone by suggesting what I'm suggesting.

I'd be wary of pre-patched roms if I were you. More often than not, they come with something besides just a patch. A friend of mine made that mistake, and got her PC infected with a very nasty virus that forced her to wipe her entire hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch. Patching a Japanese rom is always the safest way to go.
But to answer your original question, the 3.01 version is the last patch that the HOS team made for the previous translation project. Honestly though, I'd wait until Hero and his team can finish beta 3 before trying to patch it, because beta 3 will blow everything that has come before it completely out of the water in terms of quality.

If the game FE Heroes is performing poorly, and get shutdown, only until then this patch may has a chance to be finished.
The patch gets an overhaul every time FE Heroes release a new update.
Hi guys, I'm the co-retranslator and script editor for the patch update, and I thought I'd let you know that I put it on hold so I could work on a proper translation for Thracia 776. I could release what we had done before I made the swap, which was the whole prologue and 2 BSFE chapters, with numerous menu/name fixes, but I'd have to get the files from Hero, who has been incommunicado for a while.

Good day to you, whatever time of day it may be. I am DekuNut, and I'm part of the new team working on this patch with @Hero of the Fire Emblems. With Cirosan now heading Project Exile, the patch will have to continue on without him. As such, Hero needed a new team, of which I am currently the spokesperson.
This, of course, means that progress will resume on the patch. The patch has, as of now, completely redone both the Prologue and some of the New Archanea Chronicles, as well as the menus, and has revised any content localized via Fire Emblem Awakening, Fire Emblem Echoes, Fire Emblem Warriors, and Fire Emblem Heroes through August 2018. Our goal for the near future will be to catch up on the updates to Fire Emblem Heroes (Gharnef, Legendary Tiki, etc.), and then continue retranslating the scripts for further chapters.
Along with Hero and myself, we also have @Hyness joining the team. Go give him a warm welcome.
Finally for the big question: no, we are not ready with the next version of the patch yet. It will take some time to catch up on everything we've missed over the last six months, and make up lost time on the patch since then, but we'll do our best to give you all updates on what's going on with the patch now that progress is continuing. Keep in mind there's some things we aren't ready to reveal until the next version goes live, however. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here, and we'll do our best to answer them.

\section{Introduction}

The production of hydrodynamic radiation (ultrasonic pressure waves) by fast particles passing
through liquids was first predicted already in 1957 leading to the development of the so-called
thermo-acoustic model in 1979\cite{Askariyan1,Askariyan2}. The model allowed to describe the primary
production mechanism of the bipolar shaped acoustic signals measured in an experiment with proton
pulses in fluid media\cite{Sulak}. According to the model, the energy deposition of particles
traversing liquids leads to a local heating of the medium which can be regarded as instantaneous
with respect to the hydrodynamic time scale. Due to the temperature change the medium expands or
contracts according to its volume expansion coefficient $\alpha$. The accelerated motion of the
heated medium forms an ultrasonic pulse which propagates in the volume.  The wave equation
describing the pulse is\cite{Askariyan2}
\begin{equation}
  \Delta p(\vec{r},t) - \frac{1}{c_s^2} \cdot \frac{\partial^2 p(\vec{r},t)}{\partial t^2} =-
  \frac{\alpha}{C_p} \cdot \frac{\partial^2 \epsilon(\vec{r},t)}{\partial t^2}
\label{waveequation}
\end{equation}
and can be solved using the Kirchhoff integral:
\begin{equation}
 p(\vec{r},t) = \frac{1}{4\pi}\frac{\alpha}{C_p}\int_V \frac{\mathrm{d}V'}{|\vec{r} -
 \vec{r}\,'|}\;\frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2}\,\,\epsilon\left(\vec{r}\,',t -\frac{|\vec{r} - \vec{r}\,'|}{c_s}\right)\textrm{.}
\label{pressureequation}
\end{equation}
Here $p(\vec{r},t)$ denotes the hydrodynamic pressure at a given place and time, $c_s$ the speed of
sound in the medium, $C_p$ its specific heat capacity and $\epsilon(\vec{r},t)$ the energy
deposition density of the particles. The resulting pressure field is determined by the spatial and
temporal distribution of $\epsilon$ and by $c_s$, $C_p$ and $\alpha$, the latter three depending on
the temperature. A controlled variation of these parameters in laboratory experiments and a study of
the resulting pressure signals allows therefore a precise test of the thermo-acoustic model. One
decisive test is the disappearance of the signal at $4^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ in water, the medium
considered in the following, due to the vanishing $\alpha$ at this temperature.

However, in previously conducted experiments investigating this effect in different liquids, the
observed pulses could not be unambiguously verified as
thermo-acoustical\cite{Sulak,Hunter1,Hunter2,Albul}. There the variation of the pulse amplitude with
the temperature in water showed not the predicted dependency and particularly not the
disappearance of the signal at 4$^{\circ}$C.

\section{Conducted Experiments}

The experiments presented in this paper were performed with a pulsed $1064 \, \mathrm{nm}$ Nd:YAG
laser facility located at our institute, and the $177 \, \mathrm{MeV}$ proton beam of the ``Gustaf
Werner Cyclotron'' at the ``Theodor Svedberg Laboratory'' in Uppsala, Sweden.  The beams were dumped
into a $150 \times 60 \times 60 \, \mathrm{cm}^3$ water tank, where the acoustic field was measured
with several position-adjustable hydrophones (pressure sensitive sensors based on the piezo-electric
effect). The temperature of the water was varied between $1^\circ \mathrm{C}$ and $20^\circ
\mathrm{C}$ with a precision of $0.1^\circ \mathrm{C}$ by cooling and gradual controlled homogeneous
reheating of the whole water volume.

The spill energy of the proton beam was varied from $10 \, \mathrm{PeV}$ to $400 \, \mathrm{PeV}$,
the beam diameter was approx.~$1 \, \mathrm{cm}$ and the spill time $30 \, \mathrm{\upmu s}$. For
$177\,\mathrm{MeV}$ protons, the energy deposition in the water along the beam axis ($z$-axis, beam
entry into the water at $z=0\,\mathrm{cm}$) is relatively uniform up to $z=20\,\mathrm{cm}$ ending
in the prominent Bragg-peak at $z \approx22\,\mathrm{cm}$. The laser pulse energy was adjusted
between $0.1 \, \mathrm{EeV}$ and $10 \, \mathrm{EeV}$ at a beam diameter of a few mm, the pulse
length was fixed at $9 \, \mathrm{ns}$. The laser energy density deposited along the beam axis had
an exponential decrease with a absorption length of $(6.0\pm0.1) \, \mathrm{cm}$.  The two
experiments enabled us to use different spatial and temporal distributions of the energy deposition
as well as two different kinds of energy transfer into the medium, i.e. by excitation by both beams
and additionally by ionisation by the proton beam.

The sensors used were characterised and found to be linear in amplitude response, the frequency
response was flat up to the main resonance at $50\,\mathrm{kHz}$ with a sensitivity of
approx.~$-150\,\mathrm{dB\,re\,}1\mathrm{V}/\upmu\mathrm{Pa}$. The sensitivity dependence on
temperature was measured and the relative decrease was found to be less than $1.5\%$ per
$1^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$.

For every set of experimental parameters the signals of 1000 beam pulses were recorded, with a
sampling rate of $10\,\mathrm{MHz}$, sufficient for the typical frequency range of the signals of
$5\,\mathrm{kHz}$ to $100\,\mathrm{kHz}$.
\section{Results}

The measured bipolar signals were found to be in good agreement with simulations based on the
thermo-acoustic signal generation mechanism. The hydrodynamic nature of the signal was proven by
determining the propagation times of the signals at different positions in the $x$-direction
perpendicular to the beam axis. They were consistent with the expected propagation times for sound
in water.  Also the investigated signal dependencies on beam energy, beam width and sensor distance
from the beam show very good agreement with the simulation based on the thermo-acoustic model.

Figures~\ref{fig1a} and \ref{fig1b} show the temperature dependence of the peak-to-peak amplitude of
the bipolar signals for the two experiments, where a positive (negative) sign denotes a leading
positive (negative) peak of the signal. The two data sets shown in each figure were recorded by two
sensors positioned at $x=10\,\mathrm{cm}$ perpendicular to the beam axis and at $z=12\,\mathrm{cm}$
and $z=22\,\mathrm{cm}$ along the beam axis, respectively. In the case of the proton beam setup the
hydrophone positions correspond roughly to the $z$-position of the Bragg-peak and a $z$-position
half way between the Bragg-peak and the beam entry into the water, respectively. For comparability,
the same positions and the same sensors were chosen for the laser experiment.

  \centerline{\epsfxsize=4.4in\epsfbox{plot_laser.eps}}
\caption{Measured signal amplitude of the bipolar acoustic signal produced by laser pulses at different

  signal at 4.0$^{\circ}$C was subtracted at every temperature. The amplitudes were afterwards
  normalised to $1$ at $15.0^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$.\label{fig1b}}
\end{figure}

The laser beam signal shown in Fig.~\ref{fig1a} changes its polarity around $4 ^\circ \mathrm{C}$,
as expected from the thermo-acoustic model. The model expectation for the signal amplitude, which is
proportional to $\alpha/C_p$ and vanishes at $4^\circ\mathrm{C}$, is fitted to the experimental
data. In the fit an overall scaling factor and a constant temperature shift were left free as fit
parameters.  The fit yielded a zero-crossing of the amplitude at $(3.9 \pm 0.1)^\circ \mathrm{C}$,
where the error is dominated by the systematic uncertainty in the temperature setting. The
zero-crossing is in good agreement with the expectation of $4.0 ^\circ \mathrm{C}$.  Analysing the
proton data in the same way yielded a shape slightly deviating from the model expectation, and a
zero-crossing significantly different from $4.0^\circ \mathrm{C}$ at $(4.5 \pm 0.1)^\circ \mathrm{C}$.
In view of the results from the laser beam measurements, we subtracted the residual signal at
$4.0^\circ \mathrm{C}$, which has an amplitude of approx.~$5\%$ of the $15.0^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$
signal, from all signals, assuming a non-temperature dependent effect on top of the thermo-acoustic
signal.  The resulting amplitudes shown in Fig.~\ref{fig1b} are well described by the model
prediction.

The source of the small non-thermo-acoustic signal which was only seen in the proton experiment
could not be unambiguously verified with these experiments. The obvious difference to the laser
experiment are the charges involved both from the protons themselves and the ionisation of the
water.  For clarification further experiments are needed either with ionising neutral particles
(e.g.~synchrotron radiation) or with charged particles (e.g.~protons, $\upalpha$-particles) with
more sensors positioned around the Bragg-peak. With such experiments it might be possible to
distinguish between the effect of ionisation in the water and of net charge introduced by charged
particles.

\section{Conclusions}
We have demonstrated that the sound generation mechanism of intense pulsed beams is well described
by the thermo-acoustic model. In almost all aspects investigated, the signal properties are
consistent with the model. Relying on the model allows to calculate the characteristics of sound
pulses generated in the interaction of high energy particles in water with the input of the energy
deposition of the resulting cascade. A possible application of this technique would be the
detection of neutrinos with energies $\gtrsim 1\,\mathrm{EeV}$\cite{Karg}.

Nakajima B6N Tenzan
At a time when the triumphs of the B5N were still almost three years in the future, the Japanese navy issued a specification for a replacement, recognizing that only limited overall design improvement of the B5N could be achieved in the B5N2. Accordingly design went ahead in 1939 of the Nakajima B6N and, despite the Navy's preference for the Mitsubishsi Kasei radial, a Nakajima Mamoru was selected for the prototype which flew on 14 March 1941, demonstrating several problems, notably the poor engine reliability. With the delay of 2 years, by 1943 the engine had improved to the point where serial production was allowed to start, but after only 133 B6N1s had been delivered the Navy ordered the switch to the 1,850 hp (1380 kW) Mitsubishi MK4T Kasei 25. The rest of the 1,268 B6N2s were Kasei powered.
Superficially the B6N Tenzan (Heavenly Mountain) resembled the earlier aircraft, but the much increased power and torque of the big engine and four-blade propeller was found to impose considerable directional stability problems, demanding that the vertical tail surfaces be offset to one side. Flight trials dragged on, and were further delayed by troubles during carrier acceptance tests. Then Nakajima was ordered to stop production of the Mamoru engine, so modifications had to be introduced to suit installation of the Kasei.
In due course B6N1 aircraft (of which only 133 were built) were embarked in the carriers Shokaku, Taiho, Hiyo, Junyo and Zuikaku, and took part in the Battle of the Philippine Sea of June 1943, many being lost when the three Shokaku, Taiho, and Hiyo were sunk.
In that month production started of the slightly improved B6N2 (of which 1,133 were produced before the end of the war), but the heavy losses among Japanese carriers resulted in the 'Jill' being largely deployed ashore, particularly after the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Thereafter many BSNs were consigned to the kamikaze role.

Copyright © 1965 LITUANUS Foundation, Inc.
A number of Lithuanian artists, who began studies in their native land before World War II but found themselves in foreign countries, continued on the chosen creative road after the great upheaval. They matured artistically in a new environment, but, at the same time, did not definitely cut the ties with their cultural background. While exile, refuge, or even expatriation can rarely be a satisfactory social condition, it often is rewarding for the creative personality since it provides an opportunity for a quiet "cultural exchange" and artistic and intelectual growth. The Lithuanian sculptor Antanas Mončys is one of those who experienced the above conditions.
Antanas Mončys was born in Lithuania in 1921. During the war (191fl-19JfS) he studied architecture in Lithuanian universities. Toward the end of war Mončys fled to Germany and remained there until the end as a laborer in a sawmill of Bavaria. In 1947 he continued art studies in École des Arts et Metiers in Freiburg, a special art school for refugees, set up by the French Government. Although the school was organized on temporary basis, it was under the jurisdiction of and full accreditation by the French educational authorities. In 1950 Antanas Mončys received a diploma from this school and at the same time was awarded a scholarship to continue art studies in France. While in Paris he works and matures under the guidance of the sculptor Zadkine.
Mončys' achievents in sculpture receive recognition already in 1951. He is commissioned to do decorations in churches. In Metz, for example, he sculpts gargoyles for the Cathedral. A score of chimerae chiseled by his hand grimace in the sky of Lorraine. Mončys works in wood, stone, and bronze. He has exhibited in London, Dublin, Fribourg, Wuerzburg, Barcelona, Madrid, and Chicago. In 1958 he exhibited in Brussels and Monte Carlo and his first works were acquired by museums.
Already during his early studies Antanas Mnočys displays a keen perception of the essential nature of objects and a deemphasis of their outward appearances. Quite early he disengages from the academic viewpoint of sculpture, while the studies with Zadkine further reenforce his personal conviction that the form must reflect the unique nature of entities and phenomena.
"Mončys has emerged as one of the small number of authentic plastic talents in contemporary sculpture. He is not in the least a pictorial sculptor nor does he participate in the aesthetic of the "objet trouve"; rather does he address himself to the realization of the purely plastic, architectonic, potentials of sculpture. This position is in itself something of a rarity at the present moment in world sculpture if we but consider the often pictorial concepts of a Cesar, the dadaist preocupations of Tinguely and others; or the expressionistic and sometimes literary motivations in the tradition established by Giacometi and continued by Richier and her generation in the post World War II decade."
In marked contrast Mončys as an artist belongs to and creates a world at once pured and more austere, and perhaps at first less easily entered into, yet finally more rewarding. It is a world of pure creation where intangible masses in relation achieve the condition of a species of simultaneous music. As such he is a spiritual descendant of Brancusi, particularly Brancusi as a wood carver, and of the cubist sculptors."
"And yet in comparison with Arp, Gauvin, Gilioli, and others who have inherited and who continue this conception of formal purity in sculpture, Mončys has gifts which set his work apart from these men and which in fact create a new style of his own. Above all he is concerned with organising volumes into syntheses of far greater complexity than is to be seen in the vast majority of contemporary sculpture. And at the same time he seeks the maximum interaction of space with his masses consistent with a strongly tactile quality in the work as a whole."
"In his work Mončys is remote from theories and fashionable trends. Those who know him personally and who viewed his earlier works can easily sense the spiritual ties of the sculptor with the land and the people of his origin. This is not to say that Moniys had succumbed to the temptation to paraphraze folk art; nevertheless, his sculpture exhibits that same deep anxiety and monu-mentality of forms which characterize the woodcarvers' art of his native Samogitia. The critic Fry sensed this when he said that "the distinguishing value of Mončys is the quality of his structures as structures. For it is on this basis that we must approach sculpture, and most particular ly non-objective sculpture; and here it is that Mončys excells. From this high quality of structure in his works comes a monumental sense that we detect even in sculptures of the smallest actual scale."
Antanas Mončys chose France as his second country. Without doubt, he is a product of the school of Paris in the most meaningful sense. Only a full and direct contact with his work enables one to sense that in his anxious searchings and individual discoveries Antanas Mončys reveals that part of the universe which always remains with us.


The Reputation Institute recently released the 2017 Global CSR RepTrak® 100 report, ranking the corporate social responsibility (CSR) of the world's leading companies. With annual profits surpassing tens of billions of dollars, global giants are keen to show the public that they are giving something back.
But while it would be nice to think this comes from the goodness of their hearts, demonstrating social responsibility is proven to boost brand trust, loyalty and in turn sales. Seventy-seven percent of Millennials state they are willing to spend more on a product if it comes from a sustainable brand and 81 percent expect companies to make a public commitment to good corporate citizenship.
Building the best possible team can be challenging for early-stage startups with limited resources, especially when competing with larger companies for in-demand professionals like developers and data analysts.
Luckily, Millennials are less driven by salaries than previous generations. In a recent Forbes article, author John Zogby argues that Millennials are willing to settle for lower wages, if they empathise with the aims and values of the company, and feel they will be able to grow professionally and personally during their time there. In fact, he says 85 percent of Millennials want work that not only enriches themselves, but also the world.
For this reason, it is important to publicize your social projects on your website or social channels, but also mention it on job adverts too. We found that by sharing our social mission — to offer equal employment opportunities for people in Africa — as well as our company's big mission, we attracted exactly the sort of hard working, socially minded people we wanted to work with.
Another option is to use hiring as a way to give back, by involving people from the local community and offering internships. As part of our 'Africa's Got Digital Talent' program, we offer internships to talented young people from some of the world's top universities, but also those from disadvantaged backgrounds who might not have the chance otherwise.
From our side, launching an internship gave us a steady flow of talent, many of whom came on to work with our company as full time members after finishing their internships. Having a steady supply of agile, bright, enthusiastic young minds also leads to a lot of creative ideas, and gives us the wavelength to experiment and innovate by allowing these interns to start their own projects. There is much more space to 'fail fast, fail often' when you are not paying full salaries.
In the increasingly saturated startup world, in which millions of eager companies are pitching their ideas to the same handful of leading publications, it can be hard to stick your head above the crowd to reach journalists and consumers. But it is difficult to scale, if no one knows about you.
We have found that including our social projects in our messaging on our website and social channels, but also in our pitches and press releases to the media, has increased interest and improved visibility. In the modern age of fake news, consumers and journalists want to look past the cover page of your company. A big part of this comes down to your company values and CSR efforts.
A recent study by Label Insight found that almost 94 percent of all consumers are more likely to be loyal to a brand when it commits to full transparency. Another study by Cone Communications and Echo Research revealed that more than 90 percent of consumers would switch to a brand which actively supports a humanitarian or environmental cause.
In a recent Forbes article Wes Gay argues that Millennial consumers and employees alike are extremely engaged by stories linked to social responsibility. Use social media, community channels and newsletters to keep your community up to date with the results of your projects, and use photos and video as much as possible.
Our company has recently been trying to raise series A funding in Silicon Valley. One common theme we saw from the majority of VCs and Angel investors we met with, was a keen interest in our community impact and corporate social responsibility efforts. Investors, local philanthropists, governments and startup organizations alike are increasingly backing companies who are giving back.
Having a social element to your startup also opens the door to working with organizations, funds and accelerators which have been designed to give a helping hand to social enterprises. Take The Social Impact Accelerator (SIA) in Europe and The Social Enterprise Alliance in the US, for example. Global startup organization Techstars recently launched an impact accelerator in Austin, Texas, specifically targeting startups focused on social and environmental impact.
In a Fortune article, Jen Wieczner highlights how charities and foundations are increasingly funding for-profit startups and even publicly traded companies, hoping to not only push research and innovation which can make positive changes in society, but also to win big from their stocks if the company turns out to be a success. Foundations know that startups can bring amazing products and services to market faster than they could work their way out of colleges and research centers, and are willing to place their bets on startups with shared goals and missions.
It goes without saying that if you are going to launch a social project within your startup, you should do it for the right reasons, to really give back and help people. But as a scaling company, you need all the 'foot ups' you can get, so next time you want to raise funding, find mentors or partners, put your social responsibility card at the front of your pack, and you will be pleasantly surprised by the results.
A 25-year veteran of the global events fraternity Charlie Wright is the co-founder of Eventerprise, Africa's Got Digital Talent.

Kale Slaw Salad - What's Baking, Babycakes?
As I'm receiving my Thanksgiving magazine subscriptions in the mail, I'm already brainstorming ideas for the holidays. I also help to put on a luncheon for our parent teacher conferences in the fall, so I'm also looking for some new healthy dishes that the teacher might dig (and maybe they'll go easier on me at conference time, lol!) So I decided to combine some of the greens I love the most-cabbage, kale, and romaine lettuce-to create this kale slaw salad. I added some toasted sesame seeds and veggies and drizzle a lemon-strawberry vinegrette on top. I just found out this was runner up in a magazine contest for Taste of Home Magazine, so I'm really excited to share this with my readers. This is the start of a new chapter of my blog, as I've included mainly sweets and baked goods on the site. But I like to think life is all about balance. I've learned to balance my kids, family, dogs, and blog through the years and now I'm finding balance in the foods I love the most in life. Hope you enjoy this new endeavor as much as I do!
Salad: Place chopped kale and Romaine lettuce in a large serving bowl. Add cole slaw mix, cabbage, sliced fennel bulb, and chopped broccoli. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place sesame seeds on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned on top (approximately 7-8 minutes). Add to salad. Add feta cheese. Toss to combine ingredients.
Strawberry lemon vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and toasted sesame oil. Whisk in the honey, cider vinegar, and lemon juice. Puree the strawberries to make 1/3 cup. Add to the other ingredients in the dressing. Whisk until combined.

City department offering business services to extend hours Monday through Thursday
Jason Gibbs
LAS CRUCES - Some City of Las Cruces workers will soon shift to a 10-hour, 4-day workweek in an attempt to provide better permitting and inspection services as well as other business services.
The proposal, called a flex-5 work week, will extend service hours in the Community Development Department. Currently open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., five days a week, the office will switch to a 7 a.m. opening and close at 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and be open from 7 to 11 a.m. on Friday.
The new schedule will be implemented in mid-March and will apply to all 54 employees. Shifts will be staggered to keep the office open through the lunch hour, Monday through Friday. The extended hours mean the office will be open a total of 48 hours a week despite closing early on Friday
"That gives 11 hours of availability (Monday through Friday) to the customer to process permits, apply for business registration and other types of activity," said Larry Nichols, director of the city's community development department. "Then we work from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. (Friday) and then finish the week. That's a total of 48 hours of availability in lieu of 40 hours. That's an improvement, in my mind, for our customers to have more availability of services."
Nichols said he used the program with success when he worked as the chief building official in El Paso. He has met with representatives of the Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce and local home builders and will review the plan with real estate agents, design professionals, contractors and other interested groups prior to switching to the new schedule.
Jake Redfearn, of NAI First Valley and the chamber's chair-elect, agreed it was worth trying, especially if it makes city services more convenient to access.
"If there's something that the city and Larry have seen in other markets and communities they've been in, if they've seen this work and the business community likes and supports it, I see no reason it won't be productive for us," Redfearn said. "If for some reason it's not working or there's trouble, we can adapt and call an audible as we go through the program."

City Manager Stuart Ed said he was "all for" the plan if it improves and enhances customer service. He noted similar programs show reduced operating costs and lower absenteeism. Productivity, however, can be a challenge in a 10-hour work day. But he said he's willing to see how the new system works.
"My assessment and ultimate decision regarding associate work schedules will always be driven by the impact on our customer experience as the driving determinant," he told the Sun-News.
Ed said the move is in line with the city's new PEAK Performance plan, which calls on all 13 departments to set goals aligned with the overall city strategic plan — and be evaluated against them. It's part of a city-wide effort to bring more focus on city staff listening to customers' needs and figuring how best to serve them, instead of telling customers how the city runs, he said.
Depending on the results of the new hours in the Community Development department, the flex-5 program may be considered for other departments.
"As we transition to PEAK Performance, we are reviewing everything impacting customer service and service delivery including operating hours and associate schedules," Ed said. "We are focused on achieving world-class, relentless customer service."
Nichols said closing early on Friday and extending hours the other four weekdays was more closely aligned to the hours that area contractors and construction crews follow. The move was met with some initial resistance, with some people saying it had been tried and failed in the past.
"I disagree with that," Nichols said. "That program was (geared) more to the employees. This is for the customers."
The city recently added an online permit application system, known as Accela, that is available around the clock. Nichols said that provides an option for applicants over the weekend, overnight and during the Friday afternoon window when the office will be closed. The department is also working toward an online business license application system.
"Monday morning, we look at who is applying and we approve those right away," Nichols said.
The city will offer inspections by appointment on Friday afternoons, but there will be a charge. The city will still offer urgent or emergency inspections in cases where they are necessary for a building's progress or to keep doors open, Nichols said.

Opulence. Encaustic is perhaps the most beautiful of all artists' paints, and it is as versatile as any 21st century medium. It can be polished to a high gloss, carved, scraped, layered, collaged, dipped, cast, modeled, sculpted, textured, and combined with oil. It cools immediately, so that there is no drying time, yet it can always be reworked.
Wax is its own varnish. Encaustic paintings do not have to be varnished or protected by glass because encaustic, which is the most durable of all artists' paints, is its own protector. This is because beeswax is impervious to moisture, which is one of the major causes of deterioration in a paint film. Wax resists moisture far more than resin varnish or oil. Buffing encaustic will give luster and saturation to color in just the same way resin varnish does.
Encaustic is a beeswax-based painting medium that is worked with heat. It can be used as a luminous traditional painting medium, but it also has the potential to obscure the boundaries between mediums like no other art material, resulting in works that are just as much about painting or sculpture as they are about photography, drawing, printmaking, installation or a variety of craft techniques. Artists of all kinds are discovering its unifying potential, unique properties and versatility.
Painting with encaustic is a multi-step process. First, the paint must be melted, or liquefied. Next, the molten paint is applied to a porous surface. Then the applied wax is reheated, or fused into, the working surface, allowing it to form a good bond. As a final option, the cooled paint can be buffed to bring up the luster of the wax and resin.
• You will need a clean level counter or worktable to put a heated palette on. When setting up your worktable take into consideration the space that your palette will occupy and give yourself extra room for additional materials.
• You will want to make sure that your work area has proper ventilation. Exhaust fans in windows, cross-ventilation, or a studio ventilation system are all good options. It is important that you have a source of fresh air in your workspace.
A counter or table to hold an electric palette, heat gun, tools and your work-in-progress.
Though not unpleasant to smell, wax fumes should be treated like solvent fumes. A well-placed window fan should be adequate for a small set-up. Click here to read our Ventilating Your Studio for Encaustic Paints Technical Sheet.
Your workspace should be free of any solvents and flammable materials. A burn kit and fire extinguisher are also recommended.
The heated palette is an essential tool to the encaustic artist. It provides a surface to heat and mix encaustic paint and medium on. Less expensive alternatives to purchasing a custom palette include electric skillets, crock-pots or electric griddles. R&F's heated palettes are designed specifically for encaustic painters and feature an anodized aluminum surface which prevents reactivity that could discolor pigments. The versatile aluminium surface also makes it easy to see paint colors. Regardless of the palette you select, it is important that it be equipped with temperature controls.
It is crucial to be able to monitor the surface temperature of your palette. A surface thermometer can easily assist you in monitoring the temperature of your palette (the safe working temperature for encaustic paint ranges from 180-200°F). For this reason, R&F offers a heavy duty Thermometerthat sits on top of your palette surface.
Use natural bristle brushes only; synthetic brushes can burn and melt on the palette.
Any type of mark-making tool will work with Encaustic paint. We recommend etching, wood carving dental, sculpture, and clay working tools.
For best results, encaustic should be painted on a rigid, absorbent, and heat resistant surface. Examples include: wood (maple or birch plywood), heavy watercolor or printmaking paper glued to board, or raw canvas glued to board (avoid pre-gessoed canvas boards). Please note that you can use paper as your support, but you will want to consider the size and rigidity of the paper.
Three-dimensional or sculptural work that is porous and rigid can also be used. Plaster, stone, wood, terra cotta, or cast paper are all acceptable surfaces to work on.
There are two options for clean-up, either Soy or Paraffin wax. We recommend using soy wax for clean-up because soybeans are a renewable resource, while paraffin is a petroleum based product. An additional benefit to using soy wax is that it can be washed off with soap and water leaving brushes supple.
Great for keeping melted waxes separate on your palette. R&F carries heavy aluminum and steel alloy rectangular palette cups in two sizes (sm|lg) to fit our 40 ml and 104 ml cakes.
There really is no general recommendation for a starter palette of colors, since different artists have individual preferences, but we recommend that you choose a good balance of opaque and transparent colors. Try starting with a red, yellow and blue, and build from there.

Q: Delete ALL duplicate rows based on multiple columns The code below is currently deleting all duplicate occurances, including the original, found in column A.  I would like to modify the code below to delete all duplicates based on columns A, B, C & D.

A: This problem seems to require a custom algorithm. Not sure if the aforementioned RemoveDuplicates can deliver a reliable answer for a not-so-simple case, but in this kind of situations I prefer to create something from scratch. As far as your code is not too flexible, I couldn't find the way to propose my correction and thus I have created the whole loop (what I shouldn't do). Note that this code can be adapted to any number of analysed columns/rows. Also bear in mind that it relies on an on-time deletion of the target cells (instead removing the whole row, what can only be done outside the loop); this is just to show you another alternative solution; you can change this code as much as you wish.

This plan is in line with the policy of replacing the rented vessels and renovating the maritime transportation fleet including oil tanker vessels offshore oil rigs' service and support fleet in the Persian Gulf, and it was passed in by the high Council of Maritime Industries in last year which stipulates that 176 new vessels with a total value of €1. illion be built by four industrial organization of the country," recounted the official.
According to the plan, the Iranian Defense Ministry's Marine Industries Organization is tasked with making 70 vessels and now the designing and manufacturing of these vessels are on top of the organization's agenda," he stressed.
I want to break a good news for the Iranian nation that we will construct a vessel with a length of 94 meters by the end of the year in less than a year which is itself a record. We uses to make the same construction in 8 years," he boasted.

As the roleplayer that I am, all my toons have a Tatooine and a Hoth outfit. I put quite some effort in _different_ looking outfits, so not all of them run around in Polar Exploration Gear. I hope they give some inspiration to those who search for such outfit ideas (as I did here).
