Q: How to remove ^A and \N from file using hive I get the data from a staging table.I am selecting all columns data from staging table and inserting into a base table.After inserting to base table file looks like below.
val1^Aval2^Aval3^A\N^Aval4^A\N
But i need data to be like this.
val1 val2 val3   val4

^A must be removed from file and \N should be replaced by blankspace.
I want to achieve this in hive any help is appreciate.

A: The output of hive is written using a field delimiter, by default hive uses CTRL-A delimiter i.e. (^A). So here you are seeing the output file with ^A characters in between it.
By default NULL values are written in the data files as \N and \N in the data files are being interpreted as NULL when querying the data.
So if you don't want \N in the output data file, you can set the default values for those data types using COALESCE function in hive. COALESCE function returns the value if it is not null and if it is null it returns the default value specified.
Approach 1:
Create a base table with field delimiter '\t' i.e. tab. Override the property 'serialization.null.format'='' in create table statement to set the default value for empty string instead of \N.
CREATE TABLE base_table (
column_1 BIGINT,
column_2 STRING
) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
STORED AS TEXTFILE
LOCATION '/tmp/base_table'
TBLPROPERTIES('serialization.null.format'='');

Then insert the data in to table using below query:
INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE base_table
SELECT COALESCE(column_1, 0L), COALESCE(column_2,"")
FROM my_table
[ some WHERE clause here]

The output file you will see will be with tab separated and \N values will be set to field type default.
Approach 2:
The first approach will be the preferred one. In this approach use the insert overwrite directory on the base table and write the output to the directory want:
INSERT OVERWRITE LOCAL DIRECTORY '/home/user/my_table_output/'
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY  '\t' ESCAPED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
STORED AS TEXTFILE
SELECT COALESCE(column_1, 0L), COALESCE(column_2,"")
FROM base_table;

In the output directory, you will see the output in expected format.
Approach 3:
From your explanation, it looks like you are trying to read this output file and I am assuming that you are reading it through mapreduce code.
You can use the delimiter '\u0001' (use with escape character while coding i.e.'\u0001') to split the input string.
And while processing each line/field you can check for '\N' string occurrence and replace it with any default value.

A: You can use regexp_replace for this. For example, to replace your ^A:
regexp_replace(<your column>,'\\^A',' ')

A: For \N
replace(column_name, "\\\N", " ")

For ^A
replace(column_name, "\\^A", "")

A: The below works
CREATE TABLE A
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
STORED AS TEXTFILE
TBLPROPERTIES ('serialization.null.format' = '')
AS
SELECT * FROM B;

hat tip CPB, who has a link back to the original site. I'm gathering this is about how idealistic groups of newsgroup users coped with the rising tide of email spam from 1995-2004. Rules, codes, and such. Am thinking more about usenet these days (and other forms of low bandwidth communication) as the WWW gradually succumbs to Telco spam in the form of webcast sports events, bad movies, AOL-like social media sites, etc.
2/26/2011 by tom moody Comments Off on "New Scratch Model"
The Scratch School is back, with a short classical style composition.
Commented in Paddy's discussion of vanished reblog archives: it's not just "preserving the database" but tracking changes to post URLs & CSS.
...Rhizome has changed several times the way posts are organized and named --when you go from, say, a numbered post to having the word "reblog" in the url to removing the word "reblog" and assigning a content tag "reblog" to those old posts, links break and commands to "redirect" to the old links have to be written. You could go post by post and do this but usually programmers try to find a way to automate the process, so inevitably content gets lost. It's still in the database, but invisible to anyone using the site. Also, sites change their CSS design and information specific to the original post is lost that way, too. (E.g., removing a date stamp or a comment link by making it invisible in the CSS script.) Eventually you end up needing massive detective work to find posts (using Google's cache, other blogs, etc) and can never fully reconstruct a site as readers originally saw it.
Made belated response to commenter's "formalist net art about itself" in Paddy's "clubs to affinity" discussion.
...the surf club activities described in the Marcin Ramocki essay linked to above don't really constitute "formalist net art about itself," anymore than the science of linguistics is only concerned with the interplay of signs. There is always a connection to, and a concern about, the world these signs represent. When a web 2.0 artist talks, jokes, or makes art about art (or politiics or science) expressed in internet terms--i.e., reduced to jpegs and YouTubes--a comparison to the underlying "signifieds" of physical reality and history--their original meanings--is usually part of the equation. Not always, but with the better work.
Matt Stoller, former Open Left blogger and assistant to the recently (sadly) deposed Rep. Alan Grayson, has been writing for Yves Smith's blog Naked Capitalism. He ties together Egypt and Wisconsin through the connecting thread of organized labor resistance to neoliberal "tough love" scenarios (not the Facebook revolution, sorry).
Beneath the smiley face of the neolibs lurks this scary quote about "liquidation" from Herbert Hoover's Treasury Secretary.

Apna raises $70 million to help workers in India secure jobs
Apna, a startup by an Apple alum, is helping millions of such blue and gray-collar workers upskill themselves, find communities and land jobs. On Wednesday it announced its acceptance by the market has helped it raise $70 million in a new financing round as the startup prepares to scale the 16-month-old app across India.
Low-skilled workers
Indian cities are home to hundreds of millions of low-skilled workers who hail from villages in search of work. Many of them have lost their jobs amid the coronavirus pandemic that has slowed several economic activities in the world's second-largest internet market.
Existing investors
Insight Partners and Tiger Global co-led Apna's $70 million Series B round, which valued the startup at $570 million. Existing investors Lightspeed India, Sequoia Capital India, Greenoaks Capital and Rocketship VC also participated in the round, which brings Apna's to-date raise to over $90 million.
The startup, whose name is inspired from a 2019 Bollywood song, at its core is solving the network gap issue for workers. "Someone born in a privileged family goes to the best school, best college and makes acquaintance with influential people. Many born just a few kilometres away are dealt with a whole different kind of life and never see such opportunities," said Nirmit Parikh, founder and chief executive of Apna, in an interview with TechCrunch.
Scalable networking infrastructure
Apna is building a scalable networking infrastructure, something that doesn't currently exist in the market, so that these workers can connect to the right employers and secure jobs. "Apna's focus on digitizing the process of job discovery, application and employer candidate interaction has the potential to revolutionize the hiring process," said Griffin Schroeder, a partner at Tiger Global, in a statement.
Eponymous Android app
The startup's eponymous Android app, available in multiple languages, features more than 70 communities today for skilled professionals such as carpenters, painters, field sales agents and many others.
On the app, users connect to each other and help with leads and share tips to improve at their jobs. The app also offers people the opportunity to upskill themselves, practice with their interview performance, and become eligible for even more jobs. The startup said it's building Masterclass-like skilling modules, outcome or job based skilling, and also enabling peer-to-peer learning via its vertical communities. It plans to launch career counselling and resume building feature.
And that bet is working. The startup has amassed over 10 million users and just last month it facilitated more than 15 million job interviews, said Parikh. All jobs listed on the Apna platform are verified by the startup and free of cost for the candidates.
Apna has partnered with some of India's leading public and private organizations and is providing support to the Ministry of Minority Affairs of India, National Skill Development Corporation and UNICEF YuWaah to provide better skilling and job opportunities to candidates.
Apna has built the infrastructure and brand awareness in the market that it can launch in a new city within two days and drive over 10,000 interviews there in less than two days, it said.
"Our first goal is to restart India's economy in the next couple of months and do whatever we can to help," said Parikh, who was part of the iPhone product-operations team at Apple.

Los Angeles Gun Crime Defense Attorney
Under the Second Amendment of the Constitution, it is legal to own and possess guns in the State of California. However, the state has the right to regulate and restrict the ownership of certain types of guns — and to certain types of people — where it believes it will benefit the safety of the people of California.
To that end, California's gun laws are known for being some of the most restrictive in the nation.
You must be 18 years old to buy a rifle or shotgun, and you must be 21 to buy a handgun. All gun purchases in the State of California, even private sales and gun shows, are required to go through licensed dealers in what is called the Dealer's Record of Sale (DROS) process. This is done to ensure that you are above age and a legal resident of California.
NOTE: FOR QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE LEGALITY OF SPECIFIC FIREARMS, PLEASE REACH OUT TO THE CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.
The Personal Firearms Eligibility Check
Prior to purchasing a weapon, a buyer is subject to a Personal Firearms Eligibility Check. This background check is done to weed out anyone who has been convicted of a "felony, certain misdemeanors, certain firearms offenses, who is addicted to narcotics, who is the subject of a domestic violence restraining order, or has been committed to a mental institution pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 8100."
"Mr. Helfend did an amazing job defending my case, I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a great criminal defense attorney."Anonymous, CA
The PFEC costs $20 is performed by the Department of Justice. You can find the PFEC forms here.
Depending on what is turned up in your background check, the PFEC will come back with one of four possible results:
You are eligible to possess and buy new firearms.
You may possess, but not buy new firearms.
You may not possess or buy new firearms.
No determination. This is done when there isn't enough information for the state to make a call on your status to purchase a firearms.
The results of the PFEC will be based on your criminal, drug and mental history noted above, but details related to your history will not be included in the report. There will simply be a determination of one of the above.
If you are found to be unable to possess or buy new firearms, you are required to surrender all of your current firearms. If you are required to surrender your weapons, there are certain restrictions on who you can transfer them to. For more information, you can read the State of California's PFEC FAQ here.
The Firearms Safety Certificate and Handgun Safety Certificate
In addition to the PFEC, most gun buyers will also need to obtain a Firearms Safety Certificate or Handgun Safety Certificate. This can usually be filled out at the dealer you are visiting to get your firearm. This is a 30-question test with multiple choice and true/false questions. You are required to get a 75% or better (23 correct out of 30) in order to pass.
With a successfully processed PFEC, FSC and DROS, your purchase can proceed.
The Purchase Process and Registration
You will then be subject to a 10-day waiting period before the seller can legally transfer the gun to you.
An important thing to note is that your PFEC is valid for 30 days from the point of approval, so if you do not take possession of your firearm after the 10-day waiting period but before the 30-day window, you will have to complete another PFEC and another 10-day waiting period.
There is no limit to the amount of handguns you can own in California, but you can only purchase one gun every 30 days.
When purchasing your firearm, make sure to bring valid ID — a California driver's license, state ID, military ID or resident alien card. In addition to this, California keeps a comprehensive registry of firearms and their owners. Your background check, fingerprint and personal information will be retained in a state database, along with their serial numbers.
If you move into the State of California, you are required to register your handguns, rifles and long guns within 60 days.
What Guns are Legal in California?
California has strict regulations on the types and configurations of firearms you are allowed to own. It is illegal to import, possess or purchase assault weapons and machine guns fed with .50 caliber machine gun ammunition, unless you acquired them prior to 1989.
In June 2016, the state passed Senate Bill 880 and Assembly Bill 1135, which expanded the state's assault weapon ban to include semi-automatic, center-fire rifles and shotguns that have a "bullet button" detachable magazine. Because some in the political and media arenas haven't been all that clear on the defenitions of things like "center-fire" and "bullet button," we'd recommend reviewing the State of California's direction on this for determining if it applies to you.
In addition to restrictions on weapon type, California also limits magazine size. California currently prohibits the sale, possession, transfer or creation of "large-capacity magazines," punishable by either a felony or misdemeanor.
As of October 2017, we're also pending final judgement on Proposition 63, a state ballot measure that would prohibit magazines larger than 10 rounds. This was passed by voters in November 2016, but in late June of 2017, a federal judge blocked enforcement of the ban while legal challenges work through court.
Lastly, firearms that are stored on a property with children are required by the 2008 California Dangerous Weapons Control Law to be kept in a secure location.
Are CCW Permits and Open Carry Legal in California?
Concealed Carry is legal in the State of California. To get a license, contact the sheriff's department in your area, or if you live in a city, contact your local police department to apply.
In order to get a CCW permit in California, you can expect to pay around $400 for background checks, processing fees and training. Licensing is up to the discretion of the issuing department, but state law requires that:
The license holder be of good moral character
That good cause exists for the issuance
The applicant is a resident of the county or city to which they are applying (or the applicant's place of employment is within the city or county)
The applicant has completed a course of training (16-24 hours)
Even with a CCW permit, be careful to honor restrictions on carry within certain areas (schools, bars, courthouses, etc.). California does not honor CCW permits of any other states.
Open carry is illegal in all incorporated areas of California. You might find that it is legal in some rural areas where it hasn't been specifically banned, but generally speaking, it is not allowed within the state.
Does California Have Castle Law?
California has a Castle Doctrine, which states that an intruder in a home, business or other property is presumed to present a deadly threat, and that the homeowner has no duty to retreat. There is some nuance to this, which firearm owners must be careful to pay attention to.
California does not have a stand-your-ground law, so the right of Castle Doctrine ends outside of a property. As well, case law in California has established that the right to use force ends when the intruder no longer presents a threat to a person or his property.
How to Travel With Handguns in California
Handguns must be unloaded and locked in a fully enclosed container other than glove box when carrying them in a vehicle. For these purposes, the trunk of the car is typically allowed but other compartments on the car (such as the glove box) are forbidden.
Long guns do not need to be kept in a locked container, except when taken into Gun Free Zones. By federal law, all guns traveling through Gun Free Zones must be kept in locked containers.
How to Transfer Handguns in California
You can't sell a firearm directly to another person. Instead, you must always work through a licensed firearms dealer.
It is legal to give a firearm to your spouse, domestic partner, brother, sister, aunt, uncle or cousin, as long as the recipient of your firearm satisfies all of the requirements of ownership eligibility above (of age, no disqualifying criminal history, substance abuse history, mental illness).
In this case, your recipient will have to obtain a Handgun Safety Certificate and submit a $19 Report of Operation of Law or Intra-Familial Handgun Transaction. The transfer must go through a licensed dealer, but if the transfer is parent-child or grandparent-grandchild, the dealer requirement is lifted.
What Happens If You Are Arrested With a Gun in California?
Weapons offenses in California are typically serious and are often charged as felonies. They can be related entirely to the laws described above, offenses like:
Carrying a concealed weapon without a permit
Illegal sale of a firearm
Possession of an assault weapon
Possession of a weapon by a convicted felon
When used in the commission of other crimes, possession of a firearm can often lead to more serious charges pressed against you:
Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
Firing a weapon into an occupied building
It depends entirely on the circumstances around your case, but charges like these can be prosecuted as misdemeanors or felonies. A misdemeanor is punishable by up to a year in county jail and $1,000 in fines, while a felony can be punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
The court will often heavily weigh the circumstances around your arrest and your prior history when determining the sentence for a felony.
California's "10-20-Life" Gun Enhancement Law
California's "Use A Gun And You're Done" law (12022.53 PC) is an "enhancement" added to certain felonies when the accused uses a gun to commit a specific crime. The way this works out is:
10 years is added to the sentence for "using" a gun,
20 years is added for firing the gun,
And 25 years is added for killing or seriously injuring a person with the gun.
This "enhancement" can be added to any of California's 19 "serious felonies," which includes charges like murder, rape, robbery, carjacking and kidnapping.
There are a number of important nuances and considerations when applying this law, so if you are charged with it, it is very important to contact an attorney immediately. It's possible for the state to add enough years that you might be spending the rest of your natural life in prison, so mounting a competent and aggressive defense is the best way to safeguard your way of life.
Defenses Against Gun Charges in California
The State of California heavily regulates firearm ownership and usage, and it works to aggressively prosecute people who have been accused of using a gun while committing a crime. Because of this, penalties of breaking these regulations above are often severe and can have life-changing consequences.

See how you stack up against others teams and compare stats across our Doncaster league in the fixture tables below with up-to-date results. Our 5-aside league based in Doncaster is running on a thursday night. Currently Chicken Tika Taka takes the lead of Premier League with Polonia Doncaster in second place.


"The amendments to the electoral law were adopted by the parliament only one month prior to calling these snap elections. These amendments substantially change the rules for elections and the election campaign. They include the possibility to form pre-election alliances which was not possible until now," the committee said.
Pointing out that on the same day Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced the elections, April 18, Parliament approved the seventh extension of the state of emergency put in place after a failed July 2016 coup, the committee pointed out that it was impossible to hold genuinely democratic elections in Turkey's current state.
"Numerous media have also been closed down or bought up by pro-government businessmen. A newly adopted law has tightened the control of online broadcasting. This has further narrowed the space for democratic debate necessary in an election time, which requires access to full and accurate information so as to ensure the voters' ability to make informed choices between candidates," the committee said.
Pointing to provisions in the new electoral system that raise serious questions about election security and transparency and possible interference of the executive in the election administration, the committee expressed its concerns about the possible presence of police forces in polling stations, serving as a deterrent for voters.
"All these factors combined seriously challenge the democratic nature of the elections. The committee thus recommends that the Turkish authorities postpone the elections," the statement concluded.
Meanwhile, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım on Tuesday rebuffed the Council of Europe urging postponement of the nation's early elections, saying it should "mind its own business." "The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe should mind its own business. Turkey will hold the elections, not them," Yıldırım told a news conference in Spain's capital of Madrid.
Yıldırım also slammed PACE for inviting the Democratic Union Party's (PYD) former co-leader Salih Muslim to an event on Monday. "Bringing a terrorist there and letting him give a speech contributes to neither peace nor the values of Europe," he said.
Meanwhile, Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdağ said on Tuesday that the Council of Europe urging Turkey to postpone its early elections over its state of emergency shows a double standard as no one made an issue of the same situation in France.
"The Monitoring Committee expresses its deepest concern at the announcement, on 18 April 2018, of the holding of early presidential and parliamentary elections in Turkey on 24 June 2018, one and a half years ahead of schedule.
The committee notes that the amendments to the electoral law were adopted by the parliament only one month prior to calling these snap elections. These amendments substantially change the rules for elections and the election campaign. They include the possibility to form pre-election alliances which was not possible until now. The extremely short period between the adoption of these new rules and the upcoming elections leaves too little time for political parties to adjust and complete their preparations for the elections. Changing the election rules three months before Election Day is contrary to the recommendations of the Venice Commission. At the same time, the Assembly notes, with regret, that the 10 per cent electoral threshold – the highest in Europe – was not lowered in the amended law, as called for by the international community, including the Assembly. This very high threshold will further undermine political pluralism by sidelining single political parties.
The committee deplores that, on the same day the elections were announced, the parliament approved the 7th extension of the state of emergency put in place after the failed July 2016 coup. Echoing the Venice Commission concerns, the committee reiterates that it is impossible to hold genuinely democratic elections under the state of emergency and on-going security operations in south-east Turkey.
The state of emergency has, since July 2016, led to disproportional measures and unacceptable restrictions on fundamental freedoms – in particular freedom of expression, the media, and assembly. It has negatively and disproportionally affected oppositional and critical voices, as highlighted by the Assembly in its Resolution 2156 (2017). The committee regrets that no progress has been achieved since then. A significant number of parliamentarians from the opposition (10), journalists (about 150) and human rights defenders remain in detention, while many other face legal cases on terror-related charges. Many NGOs have been closed down. Numerous media have also been closed down or bought up by pro-government businessmen. A newly adopted law has tightened the control of online broadcasting. This has further narrowed the space for democratic debate necessary in an election time, which requires access to full and accurate information so as to ensure the voters' ability to make informed choices between candidates.
In addition, several provisions of the new electoral system raise serious questions about election security and transparency and possible interference of the executive in the election administration. The committee is notably worried by the possible presence of police forces in polling stations, which could have a deterrent effect on voters. It is also concerned that the decision to accept non-stamped ballot papers invalidates the use of stamped ballot papers as a major security measure. In addition The committee also regrets that previous and repeated recommendations made by the Parliamentary Assembly, the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) and the OSCE/ODIHR related to media coverage and funding of electoral campaigns and political parties have remained unaddressed. The Monitoring Committee has therefore decided to seize the Venice Commission for an opinion on the electoral law, as revised in March 2018, and connected legislation.

NC shines with a variety of fun
Seniors Skye Farmer and Makyha "Keys" Guy performed their dancing/singing duet to Jealous by Labrinth. While Farmer danced around the stage, Guy sang with her amazing voice. The two dominated the stage as they told the sad story of a couple breaking up through the song.

NC Standing Ovation presented their second annual Variety Show November 8 and 9. Student directed by seniors Isabella Keaton and Hope Kutsche, the two students held auditions for the show and chose 12 acts from the 26 who auditioned on October 29.
With some returning performers from last year's Variety Show, the students rehearsed for one week before the show opened. The seniors coached the new performers for their upcoming performance and prepared them for their shining moment on stage.
Sophomore Emma Tonge opened the show with her cover of There's Nothing Holding Me Back by Shawn Mendes. Tong, a gifted NC thespian, enjoyed the opportunity to perform in the Variety Show as it helped her gain confidence.
"I just really love making people happy and performing for people. When they all clap along to my song, it makes me happy that I'm giving a good performance and that the audience members are enjoying it," Tonge said.
The second annual Variety Show took place on November 8 and 9 and excited students of all grade levels. With acts of all kinds, the Variety Show proved as an amazing opportunity for students to receive experience and a chance to perform on stage.
First time performer and senior Indalaya Wilson currently sings in Holly Botella's women's chorus class and auditioned for her first solo performance in the Variety Show. Singing a cover of Make You Feel My Love by Adele, Wilson loves to perform, and the Variety Show presented her with a chance to perform alone on stage.
"I have really loved the Variety Show and getting to know a bunch of new people. Show nights were so much fun, and I'm so happy I decided to audition," Wilson said.
Lighting up the night, junior Taylor Catlin performed her Poi light dance for the second year in a row. Poi, originating from the Māori people of New Zealand, consists of tethered weights spun in rhythmic and geometric patterns. As the audience sat in darkness, Caltin lit up the stage with her magical performance.
The Variety Show concluded with a duet from seniors Skye Farmer and Makyha "Keys" Guy. While Guy sang a cover of Jealous by Labrinth, Farmer danced to the song with a single rose. Farmer elegantly moved around Guy as the two put on a stunning performance.
"Honestly, I really love the applause. It makes us feel good and reassures me that I am a talented performer," Farmer said.
Keaton and Kutsche remain immensely proud of all the performers for their hard work to put together a flawless production in only three rehearsals. The two student directors hope to pass down the Variety Show director roles to the next President and Vice President of Drama Club.

You accidentally spelt "Catlin" "Caltin" in one instance! Otherwise, nice article!!


At e2m we believe that prototypes must be assembled perfectly every time with full visual and x-ray inspection. It is hard enough debugging a new design without having to suspect assembly errors. We know that process controls are crucial as there are no 'practice runs' to fine tune any particular assembly.
From a business point of view we believe that the benefits of off shore manufacturing are smaller than they appear at first glance. We know it is possible to build quality product onshore cost effectively.
At e2m we believe that a product is not perfect unless it can be built cost effectively. It is the integration of its components that yields the big picture. All too often focus stops at each subcomponent, mechanical electrical and not enough effort is is given to the final assembly. Costs can be reduced by ensuring that each component lends itself to easy assembly, inspection and testing. Easy assembly reduces maintenance costs as well as optimizing profit from the product.
Our mission is to say YES to your assembly needs. Every company has different requirements and we strive to meet them all. We welcome the challenges of new technologies and innovative solutions.

Shopping for a used car at an public sale may be an adrenaline-inducing process because of the fast tempo of bidding and the potential thrill of profitable your automobile. We now have many automobiles that comes with a DRIVETRAIN GUARANTEE." This means that you should have a further peace of mind realizing that the automobiles purchased at our auction has a very good engine and a transmission!! Although of initially as just another old clunker that had been parked and never maintained, it appears my company the great doctor had not used the automobile since 1960. The family, considering they could trade the outdated car in for money worth determined to have the barn discover lady appraised. What was also truly special about that is that it hadn't been "restored" before the public sale bloc, giving us a real glimpse as to what these once creme de la creme autos had been and felt like. Most repossessed automobiles are bought by way of auction. The automobile has all authentic elements.
A small share of the sellers that are members of Japanese auto auctions are also used car exporters that almost all usually use the auto auctions as their primary source of used autos. Aside why not try this out from these exporters, most members are used car dealership that sell in Japan and are used by Japanese individuals to find a automobile they want. Most auto auctions are closed auctions, that means solely dealers can use them.
Choose the general condition for the car and select its manufacturing unit features from the checklist of facilities. Quite a lot of auto auctions can be discovered all through the state of New Jersey that supply talking to quality late-model automobiles at affordable prices for sale and salvage, many promoting well below Kelly Blue E book worth. Established in 1994, New Jersey State Auto Public sale operates all through the week and is open to the public.
A take a look at Basic and Sports activities Automotive Journal's High 10 most lovely Cars, determined by a bunch of 20 of the most influential automotive designers of the last 50 years. Though Kustom King is promoting off its used car stock, the shop (which focuses on restorations and custom builds) is not going away. Though the shop once constructed rods and customs to sell these details at auctions in the United States, again when the street rod market was strong and the Canadian greenback was weak, the days of building automobiles on hypothesis are over. As King put it, There's an excessive amount of risk and too little profit" in trying to anticipate what patrons will fight over at public sale. BTW you will discover more about them online.
I have been participating as a purchaser in auctions for about 7 years. Car auctions which are open to the general public are typically common in nature. It would not price something to view vehicles at an auto public sale. Admission to those auto auctions is usually free and would counsel get the facts finding one other public sale if it's a must to pay to even attend. Some auctions even allow the viewers to start out the automotive and verify below the hood. The most affordable of auto auctions are police impounds and salvage title events.
Audi's 2013 launch, is a 4-seater A7 automobile with a fuel propulsion 3.0L V6 engine. The most costly automotive made by Audi, the Le Mans Idea, has a V10 AWD engine, priced at $2,940,000. It cannot be concluded that both of those manufacturers are better than the opposite, because the purchase totally is determined by private preferences and the automotive use of the customer. A pair of soiled underwear worn by Presley under his white jumpsuit – and not washed afterward – is expected get more to fetch $sixteen,000 (10,000 pounds) at an public sale in England subsequent month, Metro UK and other shops reported. The public sale of The King's memorabilia will take place in Stockport, Higher Manchester, and can include an Elvis-annotated bible and residential movies. If you can't get sufficient of Presley's soiled laundry, the public sale will probably be internet-broadcast by Omega Auctions website on Sept. A signed pair of Gary Coleman's sweatpants closed in public sale at $400,000.
My first boyfriend purchased his first automobile at an public sale. In a whole lot of circumstances, there's a reason these automobiles are at auction, particularly now when the used automobile market is traditionally tight. If any of you might be contemplating going this route, it is worthwhile to analyze on having access to dealer-solely auctions. They sometimes have better description stock accessible, greater high quality and customarily lower sales costs than basic public auctions. I will doubtless get our subsequent automobile at an auction (however I have a friend with a vendor's license) so it is good to get a taste of the bids. Personally, I like to go away the auctions to the consultants.
Though, the armed is just not out to rip-off anyone, they try and allow you to distinguish if there are any recognized problems with the automobile on the public sale web site. You'll be able to moreover search for ads of these auctions, which are not generally achieved very highly, or you visit this link can call the bottom and search to get details about the car and when they maintain auctions. It's about like searching for the rest on the web market. Don't leap right in and acquire, though observe rigorously the auctions for a number of weeks and see what a very good public sale worth is and the way the auctions seem to development.
Costs of automobiles offered at dealer auctions are typically decrease than those marketed on any vendor's lot. Sellers forgo a potentially larger sticker worth to take their stock to a vendor public sale the place it will likely be auctioned off for thousands less than retail for numerous reasons. Closed auctions are often the one venue for such financial institutions to dispose of a giant quantity of end-of-lease returns. Off-rental: rental firms usually change their fleets every visite site year, releasing a flood of late-mannequin vehicles to the secondary market Like the massive financial institutions that underwrite automobile leases, rental firms also rely on auto auctions to unload their used inventory. Mileage tends to build up quickly on a rental car. Usage of rental vehicles is tough; it's secure to imagine that in that first 12 months each rental automobile might be driven by a normal distribution of all forms of drivers in every kind of situations.
There are two photograph galleries and video of this sporty kit automobile on the 1923 Ford T-Bucket Sizzling Rod web page at Sunset Classics. I was cruising the automotive section on Amazon and discovered somewhat gem for us equipment car fans – automotive equipment decals! If there's a particular automotive out of your previous oh say this 1976-seventy eight Trans-Am Special Version decal set (takes me back to the nice 'ol days.. Smokey and the Bandit anybody?) and you don't have the time or funds to build your individual now you possibly can have one! Another great source for automotive visit website physique kits is Vivid Racing, I simply got an electronic mail from these guys so I checked out their website… all I can say is I wish I had about 10k to spend cuz it would be gone in, properly lower than 60 seconds. They've a great selection of automotive body kits that often go on sale – so hop on over fast if you are trying to buy physique kits, ground effects, spoilers or carbon fiber hoods. These three books on composite materials are among the many finest rated by fiberglass kit automotive builders.
The public sale home stated that it was the world's longest single-possession for a Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta, effectively held by one family for 49 years from 1965 to 2014. The automotive a fantastic read sold from the Maranello Rosso Assortment and stamped with chassis quantity '3851 GT' was the 19th 250 GTO Berlinetta made by Ferrari and completed on Sept.
There are several issues you are able to do to make sure that you truly find a whole lot at motorhome auctions. The first thing to do is to attend arrive on the auction early so you may have more time to examine each RV earlier than the bidding begins. By doing this you're going to get a superb sense of how auctions work and the way much completely different types and options typically price on the auction. When you're ready to bid at a motorhome auction , bring a friend go to this web-site with you. There's usually an auction report that can let you know lots of the issues it has. Even if the automobile or RV is offered in AS-IS situation, you continue to have the suitable to return it inside 3 days for a full refund. Contact your local state goverment, or a used car dealer to know whether or not or not you could have any recourse within the matter. This can be a stay auction and the very best bidder wins.
It is rare to seek out such a large assortment of British American Oil and John Deere objects owned by one person, stated Norm Rempel, auction coordinator with Bodnarus Auctioneering. Sam usually visited auctions to bid on memorabilia to spherical out his private collection, and he'd find his antique vehicles — some in mint condition, others needing restoration — anywhere click this. Up for public sale is a 1956 Meteor Rideau Sunliner convertible, one in every of four hundred ever constructed, and a 1957 Turnpike Cruiser, one in every of 187 ever constructed. You'll be able to raise money by holding an auction of all these.
On the day before the auction, go surfing to seek for information about cars you could be involved. It doesn't matter in the event you can't see your favourite model on the look at here now public sale for you're sure to seek out one which catches your eye. If you realize where to find the auctions and have a pair hundred dollars, you can get a pleasant automobile.

Q: Why does an atom in an oscillating electric field behave like an electric dipole? How can I understand that an atom subjected to an oscillating electric field (e.g., $\vec{E}=\hat{i} E_0\cos\omega t$) behaves like an oscillating electric dipole? What is the underlying picture that comes out of the quantum mechanical description of the atom?

A: Well, let's start with a static electric field: the electrons would move in the opposite direction of it and the nucleus in the same direction. But the nucleus' and the electrons' attractive force counteracts this process, thus forming a (steady) dipole.
I know, the picture I painted is very classical, but that's sufficient. To solve it quantum mechanically you would have to use perturbation theory, only to find the same result.
Now if the external electric field oscillates, the dipole will oscillate accordingly.

A: Let's first clarify the coordinate system. We can regard the atom as an effectively two-body system, consisting of the nucleus and the electron(s). The nucleus is very heavy compared to the electrons, so they are effectively infinitely heavy. Thus, we take out the center-of-mass motion and just consider the internal motion of electrons around the nucleus. So the origin is assumed to be fixed at the center of the atom.
In the non-relativistic limit, the electron Hamiltonian with the external EM field is

$H = \frac{(p-qA_{\perp})^2}{2m} + (-g_{q}\frac{q}{2m} S\cdot B)+ V_{Coulomb}(r)$

where $A_{\perp}$ is the transverse part of the vector potential, $g_e$ is the charged particle g-factor, $S$ is the spin and $B$ is the magnetic field. $V_{Coulomb}$ is the Coulomb potential felt by the electron.
$V_{Coulomb}$ gives rise to atomic level structure. $S\cdot B$ is the Zeeman interaction. The dipole interaction between the electron and the external field comes from $p \cdot A_{\perp}$ in the first term of the Hamiltonian. (The $A^2$ term does not couple to the electron obviously). To make this term more physically clear, you can make a unitary transformation so that you get rid of the $A_{\perp}$ and the dipole interaction is written as $-d\cdot E_{\perp}$, where $d = q\cdot r$ is the dipole operator. To be exact, this works as long as the external field does not vary over the extent of the electron wavefunction (long-wavelength approximation).
So where does the oscillating dipole moment come from? First, a non-zero external field in $-d \cdot E_{\perp}$ couples the ground state of the electron to excited state(s): you get the matrix elements $\sum_{e} \langle e | d | g \rangle$. In first-order perturbation theory, the ground state acquires an admixture of the excited states. So the expectation value of the dipole operator is non-zero after the first-order correction to the ground state wavefunction. The external field has induced the dipole moment. When the external field is sinusoidal, the dipole moment, or the expectation value of the dipole operator, follows the drive frequency, as you can derive using time-dependent first-order perturbation theory. This picture of the dipole moment using perturbation theory is standard in atomic physics.
The distinguishing of the transverse and the longitudinal part of the external field is about separating electric field radiation from electric field by static charges. The gauge choice ($\nabla \cdot A = 0$) is called the Coulomb gauge and implies radiation is all contained in the transverse part.  See "Photons and Atoms" by Cohen-Tannoudji for a more thorough explanation.

A:
How can I understand that an atom subjected to an oscillating electric field $\vec{E}=\hat{i} E_0\cos\omega t$ [...]?

The notation appears to be that of a spatially independent and time-dependent field. There could be spatial dependence hidden in the $E_0$, but I will assume it is constant.
Suppose, for simplicity, that the unperturbed Hamiltonian ($H_0$) is that of a single-electron atom. Call the eigenstates of this Hamiltonian $|n>$.
In this case we can treat the perturbation Hamiltonian ($V$) as:
$$
exE_0cos(\omega t)\;,
$$
where $e$ is the magnitude of the electron charge. (To understand this, remember that the energy is written in terms of the electric potential as $q\phi$, where $q$ is the charge $-e$. And also note that the electric potential $\phi$ is $-xE_0cos(\omega t)$, which was chosen such that $-\nabla \phi=\hat{i}E_0cos(\omega t)$.) I'm also assuming that the $\hat{i}$ is a unit vector in the x direction.
The problem is probably easiest to solve quantum mechanically in the interaction picture (See, for example, Sakurai "Modern Quantum Mechanics" at Section 5.5).
If we are interested in the dipole moment, we need to take the expectation of the dipole operator with respect to the full Hamiltonian eigenstates $|{\Psi_n}>$. The x-component of the dipole operator is $qx.$ So, we are interested in the matrix elements:
$$
d(t)=q<x>=-e<\Psi_0 (t)|x|\Psi_0 (t)>=-e<\Psi_0|_Ix_I(t)|\Psi_0 (t)>_I\;,
$$
where the subscript "I" refers to the interaction picture, and un-subscript operators and states are in the Schrodinger picture.
In the interaction picture (see Sakurai Section 5.6), we can use time-dependent perturbation theory to see that:
$$
|\Psi_0>_I = |0> + \sum_n c_n^{(1)}|n> + O(E_0^2)\;,
$$
where $|0>$ is the state prior to turning on the interaction at $t=t_0$ and where the $O(E_0)$ term represents higher-order corrections.
Assuming that the unperturbed ground state does not have a permanent dipole moment, the zeroth order term vanishes. The first order term is:
$$
-2e\sum_n Re(<0|x|n>e^{i(E_0-E_n)t/\hbar}c_n^{(1)})=-2e\sum_n Re(<0|x_I(t)|n>c_n^{(1)})\;,
$$
where $Re()$ means the real part of the complex expression.
The coefficient $c_n^{(1)}$ is given in Sakurai Eq. 5.6.17 as:
$$
c_n^{(1)}=\frac{-i}{\hbar}\int_{t_0}^{t}dt'<n|V_I(t')|0>\;.
$$
Now, remember that $V_I$ is given by:
$$
ex_I(t)E_0cos(\omega t)\;,
$$
where the only operator (based on our assumption of constant field) is the explicit x.
Thus we find that the value of the dipole is:
$$
d(t)=-2e^2 E_0\sum_n Re(\frac{-i}{\hbar}\int_{t_0}^t dt'<0|x_I(t)|n><n|x_I(t')|0>cos(\omega t'))\;,
$$
Well, that is a nice looking expression, isn't it? We got one factor of x from the interaction and one factor of x from the definition of the dipole operator. We can actually clean this up a little more by performing the sum over $n$, since
$$
1=\sum_n |n><n|\;,
$$
to find that
$$
d(t) =-2e^2 E_0 Re(\frac{-i}{\hbar}\int_{t_0}^t dt'\chi(t,t')\cos(\omega t'))\;,
$$
where we have now written the dipole moment in terms of the time-dependent ground-state position-position correlation function, which I defined as $\chi(t,t')\equiv <0|x_I(t)x_I(t')|0>$.
Of course, we could also go the other way of being less clean and more explicit and re-write the whole thing as:
$$
d(t)=-2e^2 E_0\sum_n |<0|x|n>|^2 \frac{1}{\hbar}\int_{t_0}^t dt'
\sin((E_0-E_n)(t-t')/\hbar)cos(\omega t')\;.
$$
At this point we can't go much further without explicitly defining the unperturbed system so that we can actually start calculating the x matrix elements.

A: From MIT OCW 8.06 Ch.2 Lecture Notes

Suppose that we have charges $q_1,\dotsc,q_N$ at positions $\vec{x}^{(1)},\dotsc,\vec{x}^{(N)}$, and we apply an electric field $\vec{E}(\vec{x})$. The energy is determined by the scalar potential $\phi(x)$ which is related to the electric field by $\vec{E}=-\vec{\nabla}\phi$. If $\vec{E}(\vec{x}) = \vec{E}$ (i.e. independent of $\vec{x}$) then one possible solution is $\phi(\vec{x})=-\vec{x} \cdot \vec{E}$. In this case the Hamiltonian will be:
  $$
H = \sum_{i=1}^N q_i\phi(\vec{x}^{(i)}) = \sum_{i=1}^{N}q_i\vec{x}^{(i)}\cdot\vec{E} = -\vec{d}\cdot\vec{E}.
$$
  where we  have defined the dipole moment $\vec{d} = \sum_{i=1}^{N}q_i\vec{x}^{(i)}$.

So it appears what you call a dipole may merely be a definition question. This is for a general case of a collection of particles acting in an $\vec{E}$ field. We only ask that it be independent of position, so this satisfies your criteria. If it is spatially dependent, that can be treated as a perturbation to some extent.
To address the oscillation, it appears that an eigenstate of the Hamiltonian will not be an eigenstate of position (thus "oscillating").
Unit wise, the dipole moment is charge * distance, and so as long as we can define both a distance (in this case an arbitrary displacement $\vec{x}$) and charge (the charge on the particle). For the case of an atom there are several particles (e.g. $N$ of them as in the above example).
I hope the formatting is clear, am new to this.


MURFREESBORO, Tenn. —One of the best kept secrets in the Middle Tennessee area is no secret to Middle Tennessee State University students and alumni.
At any given time, three MTSU graduates, seven or eight active students and three retired employees will be working or volunteering at the museum, according to MTSU geosciences lecturer Alan Brown.
The brainchild of Brown and the late Lewis Frank Elrod, Earth Experience is the only natural history museum in the region. Brown formed a nonprofit organization, asked people to sponsor display cases and opened it to the public in September 2014.
"The collection has grown every year by huge amounts because people find out that there's an actual museum here, and they say, 'Well, I have my grandfather's rock collection,' or 'Hey, I've been finding these fossils in my back yard,' and, so, people are bringing stuff to us now," Brown said.
Novella Greer, a geosciences major from Nashville, makes replicas of artifacts in the museum. The former computer network administrator for the state of Tennessee returned to college for business classes, but she has discovered her bliss in geology.
The showpiece is an exact replica of a Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur. The 38-feet-long creature is an exact copy of the real one on display at The Museum of the Rockies in Montana, and it took 10 months to assemble part by part.
Other wonders include display cases full of real fossils, including a skull of a saber-toothed cat from the LaBrea Tar Pits in California, a fossil of a red panda only found in China, as well as Elrod's vast multicolored mineral collection, including zinc from the Elmwood Mine in Smith County, Tennessee.
Because schoolchildren, among others, love to touch the exhibits, some of which are too fragile to touch, Brown makes certain that there is something visitors can touch in every room of the museum.
Bill Jackson, a former MTSU faculty member, retired in 1993. For about 20 years, he's been making jewelry with beads, polished rocks and his trusty soldering iron in his home studio. If you don't catch him crafting jewelry in the museum, you'll find his creations on display in the gift shop.
Admissions and gift shop sales pay for utilities and rent, along with some small donations. Most donations Brown receives are in-kind items instead of money.
Earth Experience: The Middle Tennessee Museum of Natural History is open Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $7 for ages 12 and above, $3 for ages 4-11 and free for those under 4 years of age. Contact the museum at 615-900-8358 or info@theearthexperience.org.

Lorenzo Tehau (* 10. April 1989 in Faa'a) ist ein tahitischer Fußballspieler. Der Mittelfeldspieler spielt seit 2009 beim tahitischen Verein AS Central Sport und ist tahitischer Nationalspieler.

Karriere

Verein
Tehau begann seine fußballerische Karriere 2009 im Alter von 20 Jahren beim AS Tefana. Am 24. Oktober 2010 debütierte er in der OFC Champions League über die vollen 90 Minuten gegen Waitakere United. Sein erstes Tor schoss er wenige Monate später beim Rückspiel, als man 3:1 gewann und Tehau das 1:0-Führungstor erzielte. In der Saison 2010/11 schied man in der Champions League jedoch schon in der Gruppenphase aus. In der Folgesaison schaffte er es mit seinem Team jedoch bis ins Finale, verlor dies allerdings mit einem Gesamtergebnis von 3:1 gegen den Auckland City FC. Die nächste Teilnahme war erste wieder 2015, hier war ebenfalls nach der Gruppenphase Schluss und Tehau legte insgesamt zwei Tore vor. In der Saison darauf kam man als Gruppenerster weiter, schied jedoch anschließend wieder gegen Auckland City, dem Rekordsieger aus.

2018 wechselte Tehau zum Ligakonkurrenten AS Central Sports. Mit seinem neuen Team erreichte er im selbigen Wettbewerb in der ersten Saison das Viertelfinale, schied dort jedoch mit 0:8 aus; Tehau machte in der Spielzeit drei Wettbewerbstore.

Über die Ligaspiele Tehaus ist nichts bekannt.

Nationalmannschaft
Tehau nahm mit der U20 Tahitis an der U20-WM 2009 teil, schied dort jedoch mit einem Torverhältnis von 0:21 in der Gruppenphase aus.

Sein Debüt für die A-Nationalmannschaft gab Tehau am 23. September 2010 in einem Freundschaftsspiel gegen Martinique über die volle Spielzeit. Bereits bei seinem nächsten Einsatz drei Tage später schoss er gegen Guadeloupe seinen ersten Treffer für die Nationalmannschaft, als später im Elfmeterschießen gewann. Bei einem Qualifikationsspiel zur WM 2014 schoss er bei einem 10:1-Sieg gegen Samoa vier Tore. Mit unter anderem zwei Einsätzen beim Confed-Cup 2013 spielte er für die tahitische Nationalmannschaft 18 Mal, traf dabei sieben Mal und legte drei Tore vor.

Home Hidden Category Slider Do Women Lack Vision?
The facilitator posed the question, "Do women lack vision?" to a panel of senior executive women at The Boston Club, an organization that advocates for and helps companies find women directors for corporate boards. The panel included Laura Sen, CEO, BJ's wholesale club; Willow Shire, Board Director, TJX; and Gunjan Kedia, Executive Vice President State Street Bank.
This conclusion was based on 360 ratings by peers of the female research subjects. Why is this important? Peer ratings tend to be lower than those of other rater groups, including managers and direct reports. For this reason, the Emotional Competence Inventory, a well-validated 360 assessment, adjusts the weight of peer group scores. To conclude that women lack vision, based solely on evidence from peer group ratings, seems a bit on the light side, in my not so humble opinion.
Questions about whether women lack vision and strategic thinking, may grow from a limited perspective about what vision and strategy look like and how they are expressed. Perhaps a vision is sometimes just that, a picture, versus words on a power point slide. In addition some people find it challenging to hold the notion that women (or any person) can be good with details and strategy simultaneously, or even sequentially. A discussion, later in this post, points to gender based brain differences that explain why and how women do both.
For now, let's leap to Pinterest, where ideas are expressed in pictures, and explore a different way of viewing whether women lack vision. In a recent post, Vicki Van Alstine wrote that women make up 70 – 80% of Pinterest users.
Pinterest is a visual expression of how and what users are thinking. And if a vision isn't a picture, what is it?
At Google+ users express their ideas in words, and over there, men account for two-thirds of the 90 million users.
Men are for words? Women are for pictures?
Perhaps women are flocking to Pinterest because it is more aligned with our visionary ways of thinking.
According to Ellen F. Weber, PhD, Director of MITA International Brain Based Center, there are structural differences between men's and women's brains. Women access and integrate more areas of the brain to solve problems – which is the brain's highest and most complex function. Whereas men tend to approach problem solving with a logical step by step analysis, women use logical analysis, pictures, metaphors, and emotions. Each of these intelligences accesses a different area of the brain.
I often think in pictures. It happened the other day when Charlotte was talking about a new man in her life. An image of Charlotte swimming deep underwater flew into my brain. I described it to Charlotte and asked why this particular image was coming up? She responded that the relationship is taking her places she has long been afraid to go – her fear of deeply intimate relationships – well below the surface – underwater, so to speak.
Moving away from Pinterest, the brain, and back to the business world, here are a few examples of women with vision.
Spanx, The Pampered Chef and Rubber Sidewalks are three successful companies started by women who saw needs that others did not notice. Then we have Judy Faulkner, founder of e-health company EPIC Systems, dubbed "Health Care's Low Key Billionaire" in Forbes. For additional examples dubunking the myth that women lack vision see How She Does It: How Women Entrepreneurs Are Changing the Rules of Business Success by Margaret Heffernan.
The Female Vision: Women's Real Power at Work by Sally Helgesen and Julie Johnshon is another excellent resource for understanding what and how women see differently, and why businesses benefit when leaders open their eyes to this difference.
Are you, or do you know, a woman with vision?
Please share your story here, and my apologies that the comment section does not allow you to post a picture. Perhaps a woman should design an app that does.

Driver found in stolen car crashed into eight vehicles during police chase around Bedminster
William Gorrigan drove on the wrong side of the road, the wrong way around a roundabout, down a pedestrianised street and nearly knocked a cyclist off her bike.
Laura Churchill
A driver crashed into up to eight cars when he went on a low-speed car chase around Bedminster.
It came after police discovered the 31-year-old and a woman passenger slumped in a Volvo car that had been stolen days earlier.
When Gorrigan finally came to a stop and tried to run from the car, police discovered a lock knife and a stolen driving licence, belonging to taxi driver Mohammed Ahmed, in the vehicle.
Bristol Crown Court heard how Kate Bolton-Jones had her vehicle stolen overnight on February 8 to 9, after leaving a spare key in the glove box.
Gorrigan and the unnamed woman were discovered slumped over their seats in the car at around 11.30am on February 11, near Little Cross House on Phipps Street.
Bedminster residents evacuated after chemical alert are allowed to go home after three nights away
Julian Howells, prosecuting, said police tried to talk to them before Gorrigan reached for the handbrake and an officer smashed the driver's side window in an attempt to get them to stop.
Mr Howells said he hit two other vehicles nearby before turning onto Coronation Road and overtaking traffic - while still travelling at a maximum of 30mph - with police following him.
Gorrigan then drove the wrong way around Bedminster Bridge before driving on the wrong side of the road, leaving cyclist Sharon Randle "terrified" on Bedminster Parade as he came towards her.
Gorrigan continued on Dalby Avenue, St John's Lane and around the Malago Trading Estate before losing control and hitting "a number of vehicles" on Marksbury Road.
The chase came to an end when William Gorrigan crashed in Marksbury Road, Bedminster (Image: Google)
Eventually he drove into the garden of a home on the street and caused a van to crash into the top of a four-month-old Mercedes, worth just under £20,000.
The court heard Gorrigan, of Somermead Road in Bedminster, had drug problems and had 24 previous court appearances for 40 offences – including one for possession of a nine inch hunting knife.
Defending, William Rose said his client had undergone detox while in prison.
"It is a tale of two different situations - on the one hand, when he is not on the drugs and calm of mind, he is an impressive individual but when he is on the drugs, he simply blows everything away," Mr Rose said.
Mr Rose added that Gorrigan thought the knife was in the car already, but admitted he was under the influence of drugs at the time of the incident.

"He is not a man with a long list of violence," Mr Rose added. "He comes across a meek and mild individual that isn't interested in violence."
Recorder Jason Taylor said Gorrigan had smashed into between six and eight vehicles during the incident.
Mr Taylor said it would benefit society in the longer term if the addict dealt with his drug problem, so he suspended his 19-month jail sentence for two years, in order to give him a chance to clean up.
He told Gorrigan he would need to take part in a six-month drug rehabilitation requirement and was banned from driving for two years.
Gorrigan told the judge: "I am grateful and will make a positive effort to turn my life around."

IBM's Dr. Ben Amaba, a member of PPI's Industry Council, and Ed Pound, Director, Production System Optimization at Strategic Project Solutions recently described an Operations Science perspective of how a blockchain implemented in the supply chain of capital projects can improve project execution performance.
1) Blockchain creates a ledger, a system of record, that is shared among participants in a transaction. The participants' view of data can be filtered as needed. For instance, all contractors on a module do not see how much each is paid. However, they may be allowed to see when their work is scheduled, when it is completed and the history of all the material in the module from fab to installation.
the blockchain transaction contains that information. The project owner does not have to go to the driller who then may have to go to the pipe distributor who then has to go to the pipe manufacturer who then has to contact the casting foundry. The ledger data is updated automatically as changes are made to the pipe's record.
A current state view of a capital project's supply chain is one of widely-distributed networks of information, sequential and sluggish in terms of response time, as shown on the left hand side of Figure 1. With the implementation of a blockchain, the information flows transition to a compact, parallel and highly responsive single network of information.
An operations science view of that transformation provides quick insight to the foundation of blockchain benefits.
The key here is to view information requests as work-in-process (WIP). Once that perspective is taken the benefits become obvious.
3) te – the underlying processing time of information while at resources in the process.
For more information on the science behind this relationship, see Factory Physics for Managers, pp 72 – 80.
up the extended, intertwined networks of information processing that is typical in many supply chains.
1) Information is all in one place so variability (the "V" term) is reduced through standardization of information.
2) Requests do not have to flow back and forth up and down a supply chain which reduces overall information request WIP and thereby reduces overall utilization (the "U" term) of resources, e.g. planners, accountants, engineers and project managers, in project operations. This has a huge impact on reducing queue time.
3) Finally, with information for a part all in one place and easily accessible, the time to complete a request (te, the "t" term) is greatly reduced.
By Little's Law, WIP is visible cycle time. All of these benefits accumulate to massively reduce the information request WIP in a project. So, the tasks and products associated with the information requests get completed much more quickly. This is basic operations science and it quite often leads to higher revenue and lower costs.
Information requests are usually tied to the completion rate of tasks in a project. The end products and services of each echelon of a project generate revenue for that echelon. Have you ever had a fabrication task, rebar cages for example, or project installation task, wiring a room for example, wait on resolution of paperwork?… It's pretty common. Implementing blockchain technology reduces information request WIP which reduces the time required to process information which reduces operations costs.
A caveat though for capital projects and all blockchain applications—in general, Engineering, Procurement and Construction ("EPC") project managers and capital project owners are poorly informed on operations science as it applies to project delivery.

Fixing the water mess in India is all about managing demand and not about building new infrastructure at the moment.
We have a three-part strategy to revolutionize the water story in India. The first part is to come up with ways that are politically feasible to start pricing water and electricity. This is done through field experiments with farmers to figure out how they can participate in this. The second is you have to save water for this strategy to work or to put it another way, to increase the productivity associated with the same amount of water. So we are taking technology and coming up with strategies by which that technology can be used by say a million farmers added per year into this particularly strategy. The third part of the strategy is to deliver the farmer higher income and shift the crops to ones that are less water consuming at the same time and that involves bringing in corporations that are sufficiently enlightened to see that developing the agricultural marketplace in India is to their advantage and helping farmers at the same time is beneficial.
If you put it together, price, technology and procurement, those three things get you out of the mess that India is in today and it's all on demand management and not on building new infrastructure at the moment.

Whether you live in a rural or urban area, Burglaries happen. These types of criminal offenses can be triggered by drug addiction, animosity between two people or simply be a random act. Burlington County has seen a recent uptick in the number of Theft Crimes over the past few years that some have attributed to the increased prevalence of opioid addiction. If you were arrested and charged with Burglary in New Jersey, then you could be facing a second or third degree offense, in addition to any other criminal charges that may have been filed against you. Depending on your criminal history and the facts of your case, just one second degree offense for Burglary will expose you to a term or imprisonment up to ten (10) years. In addition to facing a prison sentence, a Burglary conviction will also saddle you with a criminal record that could haunt you in current or future employment.

New Jersey's Burglary offense is found under N.J.S.A. 2C:18-2. Under the law, someone commits the offense of Third Degree Burglary if they (1) Entered either a research facility or a structure without permission; and (2) Did so with the purpose to commit an offense therein.
Burglary can also be elevated into a second degree offense under N.J.S.A. 2C:18-2 if during the commission of a third degree burglary, Defendant also either (1) Purposely, knowingly or recklessly inflicts, attempts to inflict or threatens to inflict bodily injury on anyone; or (2) Is armed with or displays what appears to be explosives or a deadly weapon.
The penalties for Burglary vary depending upon the degree of your offense. In New Jersey, Burglary will either be a crime of the second degree or the third degree. If you are charged and convicted of Second Degree Burglary, you will be facing between five (5) and ten (10) years in a New Jersey State Prison. Additionally, Second Degree Burglary also triggers the No Early Release Act enhancement which requires that you serve at least 85% of their sentence before you are eligible to even apply for parole. Alternatively, Third Degree Burglary charges carry between three (3) and five (5) years in a NJ State Prison.
Can I Get Pretrial Intervention For Burglary Charges in NJ?
Possibly. Pretrial Intervention, commonly referred to as PTI, is a diversionary program in New Jersey that is available to certain first-time offenders in the Superior Court.

2 Earthlike planets spotted in newly discovered nearby star system
The planets orbit a so-called M dwarf star, which is about 10 times smaller than the sun.
A planetary system with two Earthlike planets has been discovered only 33 light-years away from us.
This exciting solar system is one of the nearest to Earth and was spotted by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in October 2021. It took several months for scientists to confirm that the periodic dips in the brightness of the star HD 260655 were caused by orbiting planets crossing in front of its disk. The scientists were finally able to announce the discovery at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Pasadena, California, on Thursday (June 16).
The neighboring solar system contains «at least» two rocky planets the size of our Earth, but neither of these is likely to host life, the scientists said in a statement(opens in new tab). Calculations of the planets' orbits revealed that both of those worlds circle their star at a distance that is too close to allow the existence of liquid water on their surfaces.
In fact, one of those two planets, called HD 260655b, about 1.2 times as big as Earth, takes only 2.8 days to orbit its star. The other, HD 260655c, which is 1.5 times Earth's size, needs 5.7 days to complete one orbit.
The planets' parent star is a so-called M dwarf, a tiny star about a tenth of the size and brightness of the sun. Still, temperatures on the planets' surfaces reach a scorching 818 degrees Fahrenheit (437 degrees Celsius) and 548 degrees F (287 degrees C) respectively.
«We consider that range outside the habitable zone,» Michelle Kunimoto, a postdoctoral researcher in astronomy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and one of the lead scientists behind the discovery said in the statement.
Still, these two exoplanets will provide an exciting new opportunity to learn more about Earth-like worlds outside our solar system.
«Both planets in this system are each considered among the best targets for atmospheric study because of the brightness of their star,» Kunimoto said. «Is there a volatile-rich atmosphere around these planets? And are there signs of water or carbon-based species? These planets are fantastic test beds for those explorations.»
The researchers continue studying the star system hoping it might contain even more planets, some of which, perhaps, could be a little farther away from the star.
«There might be more planets in the system," Avi Shporer, MIT's research scientist for the TESS mission and co-author of the discovery, said in the statement. «There are many multiplanet systems hosting five or six planets, especially around small stars like this one. Hopefully we will find more, and one might be in the habitable zone.»

What Happens Inside Your Mouth?
Secretion of saliva: – Saliva is normally continuously secreted inside the mouth by the salivary glands. The basic function of saliva is to protect our oral health. The saliva helps in chewing by mixing with food; provides moisture to teeth, gums, tongue, etc; and also mixes certain enzymes with food which help in digestion. Moreover, saliva has anti-bacterial properties and keeps the acid- level inside the mouth under control to prevent decay.
Plaque formation: – Plaque is a tooth damaging substance which builds up on the teeth. Plaque is formed by the combination of bacteria with food particles and grows as bacteria multiply. If the teeth are not properly cleaned and the plaque is allowed to stay for a long duration of time, it causes cavity formation and eventually leads to tooth loss.
Development of calculus: – Plaque buildup, if left untreated, starts absorbing minerals present in the saliva. New layers of plaque are formed by crystallization of the minerals and it continues to grow, ultimately converting into a hard calculus.
Role of bacteria: – Several species of bacteria are always present inside the mouth and play an important role in the process of dental decay. Notable tooth destroying bacteria include Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacilli, etc.
Maintaining a good oral hygiene by regularly visiting an experienced dentist at Brighton Implant Clinic can help you prevent many oral health conditions. For more information please feel free to Contact Brighton Implant Clinic or Call us on 0800 111 6623.

Whether you're looking to document a once in a life time event, or promote one that is part of an ongoing series, Ryan Siemers can help you reach a larger audience.
A picture is worth a thousand words but only in the context of those who speak the same language. There's a reason why your family photos mean more to you, than the stranger on the street. Video, on the other hand, possesses the ability to tell a story about people, concepts, moments in time, and cultures in a way that gives context for understanding and interpretation.
Once a month, the Minneapolis chapter of the American Institute of Architects Minnesota gathers together around free food to learn from each other.
In this video, their members explore the ways video can be used in Architecture. Then go out there and tell your own story!
Those speaking on the panel included Charles Orton from AECOM, Nat Madson from VJAA, and Grant Eull from Pixel Farm.
This event trailer was produced from the March 7, 2013, Videotect 3 Awards Show at the Walker Art Center Cinema in Minneapolis.
WCCO's Jason DeRusha hosted the event and special guests included Renee Cheng, head of the University of Minnesota School of Architecture; developer Peter Remes of First & First; and Gaardhouse filmmaker Zechariah Thormodsgaard.
"The Jury" is Part 2 of 3 films, Produced for Architecture Minnesota Magazine's Videotect 2 video competition. The event was held on March 1, 2012, at the Walker Art Center Cinema in Minneapolis.
This segment was produced to provide future filmmakers and those who couldn't attend the event some perspectives from the jury about what was successful about the selected finalists from that year's submissions.

Coriander seeds turn into 'superseeds' in outer space, give richer yields on Earth
By Shabana Begum
12/12/2022 5:11:00 PM | Tomorrow's Medicine;The Straits Times
Coriander grown from seeds that were sent to space (left) had a more luxuriant yield at 41.4g, compared to its hydroponically grown earthbound counterpart, at 33.1g. PHOTOS: SFA
SINGAPORE – Singaporeans could one day enjoy crisp salads made with vegetables that got "upsized" in outer space.
In 2021, the island state sent coriander seeds to the International Space Station – an orbiting laboratory about 400km from Earth – as part of an Asia-Pacific project. Eleven countries contributed 22 herb seed types stored in a ziplock bag, to find out how space travel affects them.
While an astronaut's health must be safeguarded from the harsh space environment, the coriander seeds more than held their own, turning into "superseeds" during their month-long stint in space.
When planted back on Earth, the seeds boasted a more luxuriant yield, weighing 41.4g versus their earthbound counterpart's 33.1g.
Space radiation and microgravity – the condition of being weightless – led to genetic mutations in the seeds that could generate random but potentially useful traits, said the Singapore Food Agency in a joint reply with other institutions involved in the project.
The other institutions are Singapore Space and Technology, the Agency for Science, Technology and Research's Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), and the SingHealth Duke-NUS Institute of Biodiversity Medicine (BD-MED).
Scientists from GIS and BD-MED who conducted genetic analysis on the plant's leaves, roots and stem found that hundreds of genes involved in biological processes associated with plant growth were activated in different ways, compared with ordinary plants.
"This suggests that changes in gene expression due to space exposure could produce tangible differences in plant yield," said the organisations in a joint reply.
More studies will be carried out to understand the effect of space flight on the genes and DNA of plants, they added.
They will also explore the potential of space-induced breeding of seeds to create hardy next-generation crops and new vegetable varieties.
Such crops could boost food security since they can be resilient to diseases and harsher climates.
China has been doing space breeding of seeds since the 1980s. This process involves sending seeds to space and germinating them back on land. More promising crops are bred further until researchers obtain their ideal plant, according to a BBC report on China's space breeding endeavours.
BBC also reported that China has developed more than 200 space-mutated crop varieties over three decades, which include rice, corn, soya bean and watermelon.
The Asia-Pacific project that Singapore was involved in is called Asian Herb in Space (AHiS), initiated by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
Ms Gillian Chin, Singapore's point of contact for the project, said: "The purpose of AHiS is to provide students and young researchers in the Asia-Pacific region an opportunity to learn about space biology." Apart from Singapore, the other countries that contributed seeds include Australia, Bangladesh and Indonesia.
But things are not all dull for earthbound seeds. Scientists have been dabbling in gene-editing technologies to increase the nutrients in lettuce or make bok choy grow faster, for instance.
Commenting on the Singapore project, Dr Naweed Naqvi, senior investigator at the Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory, said exposing seeds to space radiation to create mutations is economically not feasible, and its impact can be broad, uncontrolled and non-specific.
But he noted that some radiation, such as gamma rays, is routinely used in plant research to generate mutations and understand plant growth and reproduction.
Dr Naweed added: "Gene editing is much more precise and clean. It is less time-consuming and based on prior knowledge of the specific gene targets or pathways to be manipulated."
Professor Yu Hao, head of the National University of Singapore's Department of Biological Sciences, said: "For developing sustainable ways of producing supercrops, the application of space radiation could be tried, but its actual effects – compared with gene editing and other mutation approaches that could be easily performed on Earth – need to be further investigated."
