Dipa Karmakar needs to win nothing less than a gold in the upcoming World Cups to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, says coach Bisweswar Nandi, who is targeting a podium finish for the ace gymnast at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart. Dipa made a strong start to her qualifying bid for the Tokyo Olympics by winning a bronze at the Artistic Gymnastics World Cup in Cottbus, Germany on Saturday.
"I didn't hope that she would do so well given the strong field, which had lot of medallists. But I'm satisfied with the way she performed. She had very less time to prepare for the event and she did very well. I made her cry a lot during the last few months. So very satisfied," Nandi told PTI from Cottbus.
"It is a good start but to qualify for the Olympics, she will have to win gold in the next 3-4 events of the world cup she participates in. Second or third position won't matter," he added.
The Cottbus meet is part of an eight-event qualifying system for the 2020 Games, under which a gymnast will make the cut based on their best three scores. The three events where Dipa might participate next are World Cups in Baku, Melbourne and Doha.
Nandi said: "We haven't decided yet which would be those events. I alone can't take that decision. We will discuss with SAI, Sports Ministry and Gymnastic Federation of India (GFI) to take a call about the future events.
"But the main target for us is to do well at the World Championship in Germany next year. That is an event where even a 3rd or 4th place finish can earn you a berth at the Olympics. So that would be the main target for her," Nandi said.
On Saturday, Dipa scored an average of 14.316 on her two vaults. She was 0.412 adrift off the gold-medallist Rebecca Andrade, who finished with 14.728.
"Bronze medal in vault event to finish my campaign at 2018 Cottibus World Cup. It was overwhelming to compete against some of the best athletes in the world!! Aaj ye bronze bhi gold lag raha hai! (Today even the bronze feels like gold)," Dipa tweeted after her win.

After recovering from a knee surgery, Dipa had won her first medal at the World Cup at Turkey in July but her Asian Games was marred by injury when she had strained her knee again and missed the vault final and was forced to pull out of the team event.
It led to doubts in the mind and Nandi soon sent her to SAI psychologist Bhavna Chouhan. It helped as the sessions along with the 18 days of intense training during the camp here helped her to get her confidence back.
"It has been a difficult phase for her the last couple of months. After the Asian Games, we both were heart broken, there were doubts in our mind but we didn't give up. I asked her if she is ready to do the hard work and she responded phenomenally.
"We just had 18-20 days of hard training at Delhi. Thanks to SAI for arranging the camp. They helped us a lot."

After the end of the open beta for Star Wars: Battlefront II, player feedback has been mostly focused on one issue — microtransactions. Following EA's official response, more devs have stepped in to address the "pay-to-win" issues.
In-game purchases are not always a bad thing, but when some of it gives competitive advantages to players that choose to spend the money, the pay-to-win complaints come out and something has to give. The controversial microtransactions in Battlefront II are Star Cards, which provide powerful upgrades to playable characters. These can be purchased with in-game currency earned by playing but also with real money.
EA Motive, the team behind Star Wars: Battlefront II's campaign, recently interviewed with GameSpot about the system in question. Art director Chris Matthews spoke about the Star Cards and player feedback to them.
"DICE [developer of Battlefront II's multiplayer] has taken great care to make sure that Star Cards and the way they work give you more options in battle," said Matthews. "Terms like pay-to-win and stuff like that are hard to dodge, but the guys are doing a really incredible job of trying to balance that system."
While saying the pay-to-win claims are "hard to dodge" isn't exactly comforting, it is good to hear the effort to balance the system is there. Matthews' comments echo part of EA's official response, which assured players the loot box / Star Card system from the beta was not the final version and will be continually adjusted based on public responses.
Mitch Dyer, one of the campaign's writers, went on to say the open beta existed to determine what is and isn't working based on feedback from players. However, none of the devs indicated what changes would be coming to Star Wars: Battlefront II to provide more balance to the system that definitely needs it.

Most people discuss medicine as an essential part of society. It is a completely separate industry from that of typical businesses because the medical industry puts the lives of its patients and their families ahead of their bottom line. This is an altruistic field that will do anything to save its patients and provides a key service to the community in the process; however, this doesn't mean that medicine doesn't care about its bottom line. In reality, medicine and the healthcare industry is still a business. In order for the doors to stay open and the lights to stay on, a hospital needs to make money to pay its bills and its staff just as any other business. Therefore, it is vital that any medical practice has a loyal customer base that will help keep the practice going. With this in mind, it is vital that every physician practice has a solid medical marketing strategy in place. Every business is going to have trouble recruiting customers if nobody knows that the business exists. Medicine is no different. Why is marketing important for medical practices? What are some key points that will help a marketing strategy for doctors succeed?
There are many physicians who believe that they don't need a medical marketing strategy because everyone needs medical care. Therefore, when someone needs medical care they will magically find out about the medical practice and come knocking on the door. This couldn't be further from the truth. Medicine is still a business. In the world of business, there is competition. Opening up a medical practice without spreading the word of its existence is like setting up a business in the middle of a forest without telling anyone of its existence. Therefore, every medical practice should have a concrete marketing strategy in place. In today's world, technology is king. People used to talk to their friends and neighbors to find the products or services that they were seeking. Today, most people will turn towards the internet to find what they need. Thus, it is essential for every medical practice to have an online practice. Medical online marketing is almost its own industry. Cutting through the trees and competition online can be a challenge; however, online marketing for doctors is essential to the success of a medical practice.
A website is much more than a billboard on a highway. There are numerous physician web pages out there that simply deploy a landing page and assume that this is enough to spread the word about their business. This is the wrong way to go about a marketing campaign in the modern world. A web page is different than a highway sign because a website can contain numerous links and important information that a sign on the road simply cannot fit. Furthermore, a physician can recruit more business directly from their web page with the proper links to help with appointment scheduling, phone numbers, and the address of the practice. This is all part of the marketing plan that the practice should have in mind when setting up their website. Make sure the site is friendly to all of its customers by making it compatible with mobile, tablet, and desktop devices. Use a custom website filled with plenty of relevant links that will help to educate the visitors. Use the website to recruit business and not just to have a presence. Medical websites without a concrete plan will rarely succeed in the online world.
The biggest goal associated with any physician web page is exposure. After all, the point of the website is to spread the word about the benefits of a certain product or service. This is impossible without having a web page that lands high on the rankings list of a search engine query. There are certain tips and tricks that websites should keep in mind when designing a website for exposure. First of all, there are common phrases that people use to find certain goods and services. The website should use these phrases on their web page in appropriate ways so that the search engine will see these phrases and land the web page on the first page of the results list. Secondly, update the web page regularly. The search engine looks to see when the links and graphics were last updated. A web page that is updated regularly is seen as more relevant to the search engine query. This will also make the website more visible by landing it on the first page of the results list. Exposure is key for websites.
Another key way that physicians can increase the exposure of their website is to use Adwords Management for Doctors. Adwords is a fantastic tool that physician practices can add to their online marketing repertoire because not only does it allow physicians to create custom advertisements but it also allows physicians to test these ads to see how effective they are and track the effectiveness of the ad through conversion tracking tools. This means that prior to placing an ad on the internet, the physician can check to see how many people click on the ad or perform the ad's instructions on a test population. If they like the test results, they can deploy the ad on the internet. Then, they can check to see what percentage of people viewing the ad actually visit the website, create an appointment, or call the practice. This ensures that physicians get the most bang out of their advertising budget and its a cornerstone of medical online marketing. Medical Adwords management is a key to success for online marketing for doctors. Adwords management for doctors will help to increase the exposure of a custom website by driving viewers to the website in the most efficient way possible. Every practice should invest in medical Adwords management to maximize the potential of their marketing campaign.
Technology has revolutionized the healthcare field just as it has numerous other sectors of the economy. For physician practices to be successful in the modern world, they need to optimize their effectiveness when it comes to online marketing. This means creating a website with the intent of informing people of the products and services of the practice in an effective way. Physicians can increase the exposure of their website by investing in Adwords management for doctors to drive people to the website and increase the practice's exposure.

The first conference in Yokohama on 31 October 2015 marks the end of the infrastructure building phase and the start of the research phase. Some bugs in software have already been found and corrected, and a number of networking recommendations have been drawn up. These early findings bode well for the next three years until the project comes to an end in 2018.
SWITCH is proud to be involved in this project as a root operator. Since we are in charge of the .ch and .li country code top-level domains (ccTLDs), we think it is important to offer our active support to DNS research. The new knowledge this project discovers will have a great importance for the whole community.
The project's website features traffic statistics as well as the volunteer list and a blog.
Thanks for carrying the torch by participating in this effort! 15 years ago, SWITCH was already part of the anycast DNS experiments to validate this technique before it became widely used for the root nameservers.

We have used the recently completed set of all homozygous diploid deletion mutants in budding yeast, S. cerevisiae, to screen for new mutants conferring sensitivity to ionizing radiation. In each strain a different open reading frame (ORF) has been replaced with a cassette containing unique 20-mer sequences that allow the relative abundance of each strain in a pool to be determined by hybridization to a high-density oligonucleotide array. Putative radiation-sensitive mutants were identified as having a reduced abundance in the pool of 4,627 individual deletion strains after irradiation. Of the top 33 strains most sensitive to radiation in this assay, 14 contained genes known to be involved in DNA repair. Eight of the remaining deletion mutants were studied. Only one, which deleted for the ORF YDR014W (which we name RAD61), conferred reproducible radiation sensitivity in both the haploid and diploid deletions and had no problem with spore viability when the haploid was backcrossed to wild-type. The rest showed only marginal sensitivity as haploids, and many had problems with spore viability when backcrossed, suggesting the presence of gross aneuploidy or polyploidy in strains initially presumed haploid. Our results emphasize that secondary mutations or deviations from euploidy can be a problem in screening this resource for sensitivity to ionizing radiation.

'No plans to privatise Eskom': Mabuza tells SA to trust govt on load shedding
David Mabuza says South Africans should be 'confident' that Eskom can solve the load shedding crisis – as we enter our second day of Stage 4 outages.
by Tom Head
Deputy President David Mabuza has answered a number of questions in Parliament on Thursday, as he engages in a debate with the National Council of Provinces (NCOP). Mabuza spoke on a range of issues, but there was an intense focus on Eskom this week after the power utility plunged us all into Stage 4.
"South Africans must believe we'll end load shedding"
The ongoing power cuts have wreaked havoc across the country, and they're likely to be with us right through the weekend. A miserable mixture of cold weather and tripping generational units have kept South Africans in the dark since Monday. However, David Mabuza wants the public to look on the bright side of things.
His case wasn't exactly helped by the fact that Parliament was hit by load shedding earlier in the day. But after someone put R10 in the generator, David Mabuza was able to continue with his defence of Eskom.
David Mabuza denies Eskom will be privatised
The deputy president implored citizens to have 'confidence' that these intermittent outages would soon be resolved while rejecting the notion that the troublesome SOE could eventually be privatised:
"Government is pleased with the progress being made to transform Eskom under the new CEO. The restructuring of Eskom should be completed by 2022. We apologize for the current power cuts but it's mainly because we are dealing with an old fleet. South Africans must feel confident that we will get out of this problem [of load shedding]…"
"We will deal with the problem because of the new build programme. The incoming IPPs will also take the pressure off the system. I cannot cast aspersions on the administrative leadership at Eskom that they have ulterior motives and certainly, there are no plans to privatize the SOE."
David Mabuza
Our Government has taken a view that #Eskom must be supported to implement a comprehensive turnaround programme, to ensure that the utility develops and enhances its requisite institutional capabilities to meet the country's energy needs. #MabuzaQandA

Painted this Sunday at Alta Lake. Just chilled. Didn't focus on composition, only getting accurate Sierra greens. As per other posts, I've struggled with this color (especially pine trees), so am taking the time to do some simple studies.
I learned in this study that my greens have been too cool and chromatic. There's a lot of Hansa Yellow Orange in these greens, Ultramarine Blue, and then some Fire Red to kill the chroma.

Taxi fare dodger allegedly fractures a woman's arm after being served with court papers
Steve Kenton
A taxi fare dodger has allegedly fractured a woman's arm after she served him with court papers pertaining to the offence.
At around 1.20pm on 14 June, Reverend Emma Newman attended the home of Alan Binder to serve court papers after her husband, taxi driver, Steven Newman, took legal action against him for obtaining a service by deception. This follows the claim that Binder paid only part of his fare on 27 May.
Mr Newman of Bourne, Lincolnshire was disqualified from serving the papers himself because his role as the complainant, so his wife, who is a member of the clergy and also a solicitor, offered to serve the papers.
After it emerged that Binder, of Deeping St James, Peterborough, was not at home, Reverend Newman posted a copy of the papers through his door and then went to Binder's place of work to serve the court papers in person.
After Reverend Newman explained to Mr Binder the reason for the court papers being served, Binder allegedly became verbally abusive about her husband, branding him a "f****** liar". He also claimed that he threw £15 at the taxi driver and not £10, as was claimed by Mr Newman for the £26.40 fare.
In her statement to the police, Reverend Newman said that Binder then moved towards her, screwing up the court paperwork and shoving it into her chest before throwng the paperwork on the ground and storming out of the office.
Reverend Newman then picked up the paperwork, telling Binder that she required his signature for service, however it is alleged that he then became more aggressive, using a number of expletives and denying any involvement in the incident.
It was at this point that the taxi driver's wife informed Binder that there was dashcam footage from inside the vehicle which would contradict his version of events, and he was being given the opportunity of doing the "gentlemanly" thing and settle his fare.
It is then alledged that Binder produced a wad of notes from his pocket and pulled out £15, shoving the notes into Reverend Newmans chest before pushing her toward a filing cabinet and a wall, thus cornering her and preventing her from escaping.
As Reverend Newman tried to escape, she claims Binder struck her repeatedly on the arm and shouted at her. The taxi driver's wife then asked Binder to calm down.
The frightened woman managed to make an escape but reports that Binder pursued her, pushing her into the wall.
Reverend Newman's husband, who was sitting in a vehicle outside Binder's office, approached the building upon seeing an altercation. Binder subsequently backed off.
Binder was reported to the police regarding the alledged assault and Reverend Newman attended her local accident and emergency department, where it was discovered that she had a hairline fracture to a bone in her arm.
Local police are continuing with their enquiries into the matter.

Eva Dean Folkert New Women's Golf Coach
July 7, 2005 — by Hope PR
Eva Dean Folkert, director of women's athletics at Hope College , has been named the women's golf coach.
She succeeds Tom Smith who served as head coach for four years. Smith, who is an associate professor of management, resigned in order to devote more time to his academic responsibilities, according to Ray Smith, director of men's athletics who oversees the men's and women's golf programs.
Folkert, who is an assistant professor of kinesiology, will be concluding her responsibilities as athletic ticket manager this fall.
Smith guided the Flying Dutch to the MIAA championship in 2001. Hope was league runner-up in 2002 and 2003 and a year ago ended seventh.
Folkert joined the Hope staff in 1985. She has held positions in the public relations and registrar offices. In 1997 she joined the kinesiology staff, serving as assistant director of the intramural sports program until 2003 when she was named senior woman administrator. She was promoted to director of women's athletics this past spring.
She graduated from Hope in 1983 and received the master of arts in sport management from Western Michigan University this past spring.
Last spring she was presented the college's Vanderbush-Weller Development Fund award for her strong, positive impact on students.
She and her husband, Cal, live in Holland with their two sons, Peter and Matt.
"We are grateful for Tom Smith's able and caring leadership," said Ray Smith. "The women's golf program will remain in good hands. Eva is a true sports person as well as an avid golfer."
Students Named to MIAA Academic Honor Roll
The 2004/2005 Academic Honor Roll of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) includes 121 student-athletes from Hope College.
Hope Teams Honored for Academics by MIAA
Six Hope athletic teams have been presented the Team GPA Award by the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The award is presented to conference teams who achieved a 3.300 or better grade point average during the entire 2004-05 academic year.

In broad sense, seed is a material which is used for planting or regeneration purpose. However scientifically, Seed is a fertilized matured ovule together covered with seed coat is called seed or it is a propagating material i.e., part of agriculture, sericulture, silviculture and horticultural plants used for sowing or planting purpose.
However, from the seed technological point of view seed may be sexually produced matured ovule consisting of an intact embryo, endosperm and or cotyledon with protective covering (seed coat). It also refers to propagating materials of healthy seedlings, tuber, bulbs, rhizome, roots, cuttings, setts, slips, all types of grafts and vegetatively propagating materials used for production purpose.
Thus seed is the most vital and crucial input for crop production, one of the ways to increase the productivity without adding appreciably to the extent of land now under cultivation by planting quality seed.
Fertilizer is any organic or inorganic material of natural or synthetic origin (other than liming materials) that is added to soil to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants. Conservative estimates report 30 to 50% of crop yields are attributed to natural or synthetic commercial fertilizer. Global market value is likely to rise to more than US$185 billion until 2019.
Crop production has increased dramatically over the last few decades, much of which has been due to the widespread introduction of chemical fertilizers starting in the mid 1900s. Matching fertilizer application rates to crop needs is an essential component of optimizing crop production. However, different crops in separate fields will require varying rates of the major nutrients – nitrogen (N), phosphate (P2O5), and potassium (potash, K2O)– due to variations in soil types, soil test phos¬phorus and potassium levels, and nutrient ranges of different crops. Meeting these N-P2O5-K2O (sometimes abbreviated to N-P-K) requirements without overapplying any of these nutrients is possible by blending various types of fertilizer to give the correct N-P2O5-K2O ratio. This allows you to apply the correct rate of a particular blended fertilizer. Other considerations such as cost of available fertilizers and crop micronutrient requirements also need to be considered when blending fertilizers.

I Just wanted to share the experiences gain during my Training on Agribusiness.
During my training I was blessed to visit Niji farm which has been an excellent source of motivation and inspiration for the remaining period of my life. It was my first time to see a very engaged person in agribusiness, very determined in his activities and earning a lot of money from it. I was like in a dream, very surprised to hear from somebody about the huge amount of money earning from farming business. From that day my decision is: I have to be a millionaire by making a lot of money in Agribusiness.


As a somewhat younger DJ I did not understood a thing about this jam but freakin' loved it man!
I have the turntable signal routed through the voltage controlled filter, with sequenced envelope automation. At the same time trying to keep the record beatmatched with the modular sequencer and layer some more drum and synth sounds on top while messing around with the filter cut off and volumes.
Stil watch it frequently to be honest, I would love to see a extensive video about the modulair sequencer, or an extra long jam session for that matter.

SINGAPORE - Thirteen years after The Book Thief, author Markus Zusak has finally released a new novel - a multi-generational family saga called Bridge Of Clay that had been fermenting in his mind for more than two decades.
"I was 20 years old, and always felt really committed to being a writer, and I used to take long walks around the neighbourhood (where) I lived, and once, on one of those walks, I saw in my mind a boy building a bridge. I named him Clayton," the 43-year-old Australian told The Straits Times in an e-mail interview last week (Nov 15).
"I thought I would call the book Clayton's Bridge, and then a few months later, on another of those long walks, I thought: No, not Clayton's Bridge - make it Bridge of Clay. And that was when a whole new depth of meaning and emotion instantly entered the idea."
Writing it was a struggle, he says.
Fired by his conviction that Bridge Of Clay was his best idea, he strove for perfection and had such a hard time writing it that his wife ended up telling him that he and Clay, the book's main character, should spend some time apart.
"I was often scared of this book. It beat me up a lot, and maybe I still carry some of the bruises - but I'm also very much at peace with it now," says Zusak, who also narrates the audio book version of his novel.
Bridge Of Clay is Zusak's sixth novel, and his first in 13 years. His bestselling story The Book Thief was inspired by his parents' childhoods in Germany and Austria during World War II. Bridge Of Clay, too, has its own parallels with Zusak's life: Clay is the fourth of five brothers, while Zusak is the youngest of four children.
While Zusak uses a computer to write, notebooks are his books' "first stomping ground".
He plans his novels by scribbling in notebooks. There were 13 or 14 of them for Bridge Of Clay, and in them he would write out different chapter headings - one early chapter, for example, is Portrait Of A Killer As A Middle-aged Man.
"The purpose of the notebooks is not only to keep track of where I'm wanting the book to go, but to always feel close to it. It's my way back into the world of the book when I've been away from it."
Zusak's work has often been described as young adult fiction. But he doesn't seem too preoccupied with such labels.
"I always write from the inside out - which I guess means I'm writing from the inner world of the story and not worrying about who the audience is going to be. Yes, you do worry about the audience for a long time, wondering if they'll stay with you. But you also know in your heart that you have to write the book for the people in the book."
He adds that his father played a role in shaping his attitude to writing.
"That advice has stuck with me my whole life - and when I write, I don't try to be better than anyone, or win, or think of success… I just try to write so much like myself that no-one else could have possibly written it."
Zusak lives in Sydney with his wife Mika - a business director and consultant - and their two children aged eight and 12. He already has some ideas for a new book, and says he will start writing again in the new year (2019).
Is he a big procrastinator?
"Oh, there'll always be procrastinating, but I keep telling people who ask me for writing advice to take it easy on themselves on one hand, but to cultivate an iron will on the other. You'll have a lot of days when you don't feel like writing, and that's okay.
"Then there also just comes a point where you say, 'This is it.' And that's the day everything begins."

Реституција је повраћај власништва или права која су у прошлости неоправдано одузета одређеном лицу, групи грађана или читавој класи или етничкој групи.

То је процес враћања приватним власницима имовине (у натуралном облику или у виду новчаног обештећења) која им је одузета на основу прописа о аграрној реформи и колонизацији, конфискацији и секвестрацији, национализацији и експропријацији без адекватне надокнаде или на неки други сличан начин.

Разликујемо натуралну и финансијку реституцију, у зависности од законског решења који може обухватити и повраћај самих одузетих некретнина и покретних ствари - натурална реституција, или се свести искључиво на финснсијску надокнаду, када говоримо о финансијској реституцији.

У истом значењу користе се и термини "реприватизација" и "денационализација". Денационализација се у свом уско семантичком смислу односи на процес инверзан национализацији, али се у легислативи и пракси упоредног права овим термином, у ширем смислу, означава и деконфискација и враћање бившим власницима имовинских добара и права подржављених по разним другим основама, обештећење за ту имовину, као и приватизација државне имовине. У том ширем смислу, иако је реприватизација унеколико егзактнији појам, ипак се чешће користи израз денационализација, као општепознат и уобичајен.

У процесу реституције може се искључити повраћај имовине стечене као последица вршења кривичног дела, стварања ратног профита, учешћа у окупационим снагама и сл.

Према законима многих земаља, реституција је обавезна али се у неким земљама веома тешко остварује.

Овим процесом се остварује једно од основних људских права грађана описаних у Општој декларацији о људским правима УН - права на слободно уживање приватне својине.

У Србији је до 3. марта 2014. када је истицао рок, предато око 60 хиљада захтева за реституцију.

Use of glass in yacht projects has grown significantly over the last 20 years. What does the future hold for this technology?
It's easy to see why glass is becoming one of the the most important elements in a successful yacht design. Larger expanses of glass help to draw the outside in and reveal the beauty of the seaward surroundings – and surely this is one of the primary reasons to own a boat? One only has to think of classic designs such as Enigma (ex-Eco) and the impact their unusual glass styling continues to have on the yachting conscience to see just how much of a key factor this seemingly fragile material can be.
We have come a long way over the past few years, from the thick and weighty slabs of tempered glass to ever larger panes, ever more complex curves, ever thinner laminates and ever improving processes to increase strength and durability. "Yachts are looking for high-strength glass for durability, and also because the stronger the glass, the thinner you can use – and thinner glass is lighter, which is a big deal for the designers," begins Steven Miller, product manager at ProCurve Glass Design – the marine division of architectural glass specialist Bent Glass Design.
Designers frequently dream of creating bigger and better things with glass, but as is often the case these concepts can stretch the bounds of reality in spite of advances in size and strength. It is what makes Feadship's annual Future Concept challenge so interesting in itself – every element of the designs, no matter how unconventional they might appear, have been considered and studied to ensure they are theoretically possible to be in-build within a five-year time frame.
Two classic examples of this in relation to glass were the Aeon and Breathe concepts, in 2009 and 2010 respectively, both of which featured underwater glass in aft viewing lounges. "Aeon had lots of windows in the middle, and the Breathe concept had a viewing lounge in the aft end with windows on both sides underneath the waterline," says Ronno Schouten, design manager at De Voogt Naval Architects. "It was with Breathe that we really started to do more research on the feasibility of it construction-wise, and also talking to glass suppliers. You could say, in fact, that Breathe was the base for the aft underwater lounge on Savannah, our 83.5m yacht, launched in 2015."
The process of converting those concepts to reality was extensive. To address potential problems of stability should the glass break, the designers had to calculate what would happen if the whole compartment was flooded. Moreover, there were structural considerations, and the glass had to follow the contours of the hull that it forms a part of. "How do you include the glass in that area?" asks Schouten. "It's the weight set-up, and, of course, there are several glass panes together. But in fact there are two panes – an inner and an outer – separated by about 30cm, and both panes are strong enough to comply with all the rules. In fact, the glass there is much stronger than all the steel around it."
Schouten says it is only in the past five to 10 years that such projects have become viable. "I think in the last decade, the knowledge about glass has increased, and also the awareness of yards, engineering companies, naval architects and flag and class," he continues. "I would say that 10 years ago we wouldn't have known how to do it, and class wouldn't have accepted it, even though it probably was possible back then as it's not the glass technology itself that has changed." He acknowledges that the glass is stronger, better and easier to use, but basically it's more about the knowledge of glass and knowing how to do all the calculations that has changed. "Certainly, if we had done it 10 years ago the glass would have been much thicker and not so nice looking," he says. "That's where the progress has been made in glass tech."
The subject of class and type approval is obviously a major factor in the development and, in particular, the practical use of new glass technologies. For Schouten, the process of class approval for Savannah's underwater lounge was lengthy but not something they doubted they would successfully negotiate. "I think it was a good process," he says. "What I always emphasise is that first, if we design something we have to know for sure ourselves that it's safe. It's not that we're trying to convince class to rubber stamp the design when we're not sure of it ourselves. We did a lot of testing and calculation and we involved class from really early in the process. I think the discussions with class are not that difficult."
It is a view backed up to some extent by Miller, who says that class is starting to open its eyes to the possibilities of what modern glass can do. "We've seen recently, specifically with Lloyd's, that they've been much more interested in working with us to get this thinner glass approved because they see that the designers and the builders want it," he says.
"In the past, it was more us trying to force the issue because glass isn't a very well understood material, unlike steel or aluminium, so there's been some hesitancy to push the limits of what could be done and sticking with the tried and true tempered glass that's been used for 50 years on boats." Miller felt the class societies were sticking with that tried and tested tech because they didn't want to push it too far. "But we're seeing the advantages of the chemical strengthening and these high-tech, high-performance laminates," Miller adds. "We're seeing what that can do and the changes that it could have in the industry, so class are much more willing and interested in working with us to do that. It's going to be a little more of a partnership, I think, working together to get these products reviewed and tested and approved for use."
Aside from weight and thickness, new films and layers are being introduced that offer further possibilities for innovation and use on board. The most common of these is the pyrolytic or heat-reflecting layer – particularly important for keeping air-conditioning loadings low and reducing problematic thermal variations in the interior. While these coatings have been around for a while, the more effective they were, the more they tended to affect the transparency or tint of the glass to which they were applied. Things are moving on, however, and builders such as Dynamiq are tapping into new technologies being developed in other industries such as Southwall's XIR solar control film – used in the luxury automotive industry – that reflects 50 per cent of radiated heat while blocking almost all UV rays without significantly impacting light transmission.
So what is happening in the labs of today to shape the glass of tomorrow? "The strength of the glass is really the biggest thing we're researching and working on right now," says Miller. "Along with that, it's about using ultra-thin glass." Interestingly, he also believes it is not the superyacht sector that is pushing maritime boundaries. "The boats and designers in the 10m to 25m range seem to be doing more innovating in my experience," he says. "They are trying to do something different or unique, particularly with custom or one-off boats. They are always asking what is the biggest pane we can do, how big a front windshield or skylight can be or what is the tightest curve we can create. For the superyachts from 40m and up, we've seen them sticking with a more traditional approach – something that's pretty well understood in terms of cost, reliability, lead time and what it's going to look like."
That doesn't mean superyacht designers aren't looking at innovative ways to use glass; Feadship says glass used to account for seven per cent of a yacht's profile, but now it's closer to 20 per cent or more. And with projects such as Venus, or with Luiz de Basto's 90m Cosmos concept at Oceanco, it is clear that glass is becoming an ever-more integral aspect of design.

Niche Wars: Australia in Afghanistan and Iraq, 2001–2014 Edited by John Blaxland, Marcus Fielding, and Thea Gellerfy – Book Review

In addition to its availability as a free download, Niche Wars is unique for the breadth of its authors' expertise—a blending of strategic, operational, and tactical insights and a frankness rarely seen in such collective efforts.
Canberra: Australian
National University Press,
$70.00 – https://press.anu.edu.au/publications/niche-wars
It provides a valuable opportunity to learn from one of the United States' closest and ablest military partners as they confronted operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Niche Wars is organized into four sections and three appendices (two of which provide helpful chronologies of Australia's commitments in the two conflicts). The first section, "Policy and Strategy," presents a strategic overview of the country's national leadership decisions to commit forces from the perspectives of a minister of defence, a secretary of the department of defence (generally a long-serving senior bureaucrat). and a former chief of the defence force. This trio of chapters sets the strategic context for what follows, making it clear Australia's participation was a response to what its government perceived was, in the words of Minister of Defence Robert Hill, "not only an attack on our ally the United States but also, and fundamentally, an attack on our shared values" (23). Significantly, Hill addresses the failure of the leaders in Washington to include key partners in critical decisions, observing "I do not think we were even consulted on what turned out to be two of the most unwise decisions following the conflict: to disband the Iraq army and the Ba'ath Party," while admitting "I think we preferred to pass these responsibilities to others" (28).
There is much wisdom to be mined between these lines. US officials—civilian and military alike—too often default to a "not invented here" approach during both preparation and execution; a default that deprives them of what can be invaluable insights from knowledgeable parties who might assist in avoiding unfortunate missteps. Yet, ultimately, the responsibility for outcomes rests with the coalition lead nation. While partners might be hesitant to assert their views, lead partner solicitation of input constitutes a win-win. Resulting views often provide options those immersed in day-to-day planning or management of operations overlook. Solicitation also overtly recognizes the truth that the lead nation and partners alike are in this together and all legitimately have a right to be heard.
Authors of the second section have muddier boots than the authors of the opening chapters. Here special operations forces— air and maritime activities—and conventional ground force challenges in Iraq receive attention along with a rarely heard vantage point of an international officer embedded in a US headquarters. The tensions a tactical commander experiences in a coalition environment are clear in Anthony Rawlins's chapter recalling his tour of duty as commanding officer of the Overwatch Battle Group West (Two) in southern Iraq. His force served alongside British and other partners to whom he felt a justified obligation to support in extreme cases. Those tensions came to the fore when guidance from the senior Australian officer restricted his force if commitments were thought to threaten casualties amongst Rawlins's soldiers. It was a situation exacerbated by the battle group's discomfort in not having full access to strategic intentions from Canberra—to include those regarding casualty concerns. A situation presenting a conundrum never fully resolved during the unit's time in-country.
Section three delves into specific functional areas spanning operations in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Military functions such as intelligence, command and control, and civil affairs find complements rarely provided in conflict compilations; the chapter on the military and media perhaps being an exception in that regard. Two authors address undertakings by the Australian Federal Police in Afghanistan during the period 2007–14, making clear the value of civilian law enforcement experts who are able to complement military training for a host nation's other-than-military security forces. It is a task more difficult than it might appear. This reviewer's interviews regarding the British Army's experience in the early years of its coalition commitment to Iraq reflected that while military police can undertake such training, the differences between military and civilian law enforcement are such that this approach is not the preferred solution.
The third section concludes with chapters analyzing Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) operations and gender considerations, the latter being particularly significant when dealing with populations in which female-to-female interactions are essential to successful intelligence collection, gauging local attitudes, and not violating social norms. Here as elsewhere throughout the book, readers will find observations that might stir unpleasant memories while also constituting worthy reminders of lessons too valuable to lose.
Dave Savage's "AusAID Stabilization," for example, rightly observes, "often enough, the provision of aid is the easiest part. The real challenge is ensuring the aid is what is really required, is compatible with the mission, is not supporting the insurgency, and is both viable and sustainable over time. Indeed, aid that is poorly delivered can often be worse than no aid at all" (232). This observation is again in keeping with several interviews this reviewer conducted during visits to Iraq and Afghanistan over the past now nearly 20 years, an observation that calls for providing effective training to personnel who might be tasked with the authority to disperse Commander's Emergency Response Program funds or some equivalent thereof during future contingencies.
The fourth section includes several essays that do not fall into the above three categories with two essays focused exclusively on lessons thought to be of value during contingencies yet to come. The five chapters in the closing section are an apt topper to a worthy collection of essays that will be of interest to readers seeking a better understanding of these ongoing conflicts and to other readers with specific functional area interests. Their value, and that of the book as a whole, extends to conflicts beyond those involving counterinsurgency to touch on coalition leadership, occupation responsibilities, and interactions with local populations and governments—in short, virtually any contingency the future might hold.

How technology can help save lives in Zimbabwe
September 3, 2021 • 4 min read
Batanayi Tsuro's infant son was born premature and underweight during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This was the young father's first child. His wife Beauty and him were not familiar with the food that can best feed their new baby and ensure he grows up healthy. The family, who live in Highfields, Harare, Zimbabwe, were struggling to help him gain weight.
WiFi routers helping families
Our local GOAL team in Zimbabwe, in partnership with UNICEF, put in place trucks equipped with special WiFi routers and details on how to download nutritional information. These were parked in Batanayi's neighborhood and he was able to access this lifesaving nutritional information. This helped the family to understand what food was best for their young child, and Batanayi's son soon gained weight and grew stronger.
The WiFi routers are allowing Batanayi's family and other in their community to download easily shareable videos, pictures and recipes that guide them towards ensuring children aged from six months to two years benefit from a "4 star diet". Among other things, this diet promotes the use of the four major food groups categories to achieve a good nutritional balance.

Covid-19 and food security
The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown measures had a devastating impact on food security for thousands of vulnerable households in Zimbabwe. Families are struggling to meet basic needs including food supplies.
In April 2020, Promobile partnered with GOAL and travelled through rural and urban communities in Zimbabwe with truck equipped with WiFi routers sharing free and accessible information.
In response, GOAL Zimbabwe launched the Emergency Social Cash Transfer Program in Highfields. It aims at reducing food insecurity, improving diet and the health of mothers and children in vulnerable households in the district.
Awareness raising activities encouraging communities to download key messaging on the 4-star diet complement the financial assistance program. This in turn can help change feeding practices and encourage people to use the financial support to buy nutritious foods.
Mobile, free & life-saving information
Community members access downloadable messaging using special WIFI routers on large trucks. These are supplied by another GOAL Zimbabwe partner: the mobile marketing company Promobile. After the pandemic hit in April 2020, Promobile partnered with GOAL and traveled through rural and urban communities in Zimbabwe. They helped inform people of COVID-19 preventative measures such as handwashing, the use of face masks and the practice of social distancing.
In addition, the trucks display messages on gender-based violence (GBV) and child protection, and promote toll-free helplines. Information is also displayed for mothers on how to screen their children for malnutrition and inform communities on the importance of regular home malnutrition screening using Mid-Upper Arm Circumference tapes.
The trucks equipped with special WiFi routers have been the source of excitement and curiosity for community members. The routers are preloaded with information and videos giving food preparation tips targeted at infant feeding. There are recipe cards and meal plans as well as posters on food preservation and backyard gardening. They also give tips on shared responsibilities in the home and monitoring the growth of infants through visits to local health facilities.
The trucks equipped with special WIFI routers and pre-loaded with videos and information have been the source of excitement and curiosity for community members.
In one month alone, over 3,500 unique users viewed the web page, with 1,626 downloads of easily sharable video and other content. Interestingly, the tool was very popular with men who took the content to share in their homes.
Innovative technology at the service of communities
Rumbidzai Chituyu, Senior Nutritionist for Harare City Council, said: "GOAL and Promobile offered a refreshing and exciting way of conducting nutrition education in an urban setting different from the usual health education talks. Mothers in Harare are usually too busy and preoccupied to listen to and retain all information given to them by health workers. The WiFi facility reaches out to mothers, and key messages are delivered in a fun way. It is our hope that this will result in an improvement in infant and young child feeding practices."
Community member, Brian Mahembe, summed it up. "We now have access to lifesaving information on our mobile phones. We will also share it with other community members. The videos for the recipes will help us feed our babies with healthy food. We hope to see less of underweight and unhealthy babies in our communities,"
GOAL Zimbabwe Country Director, Gabriella Prandini said: "So many countries around the world take the internet and WiFi for granted. But in Zimbabwe access to the web is impossible for millions of people. This programm shows the vital role that technology can play in helping to save the lives of the world's most vulnerable."

* How difficult was pseudocoding this challenge? What do you think of your pseudocoding style?
#Reflection

  This challenge was not too difficult to pseudocode. The hardest part was making sure that the
  check method was getting information from the call method. I did this by having check just call
  call. I could have also done this by saving the result of call in an instance variable and
  passing that value to check. My pseduocode is kind of free-form. I definitely need to brush up
  on best practices.

* What are the benefits of using a class for this challenge?

  The benefits of using a class for this challenge is that it allows us to bundle a bunch of
  methods together. We are able to use instance variables to pass values from one method to
  another.

* How can you access coordinates in a nested array?

  You can access coordinates in a nested array by chaining indices together like such:
  array[index][subarray's index][subsubarray's index].

* What methods did you use to access and modify the array?

  To just access the array without modifying it, I used #each. I also used #each to modify the
  array in my initial solution but when I refactored I remembered it's better to use #map! when
  you're changing an array in-place.

* Give an example of a new method you learned while reviewing the Ruby docs.
* Based on what you see in the docs, what purpose does it serve, and how is it called?

  #any? is a method that passes every element of the collection to a block. If it returns anything
  other than false or nil, #any? returns true. Otherwise it returns false. This would be a good
  method to use when you're trying to find if a collection contains any instances of a certain value,
  a certain object, or any value that meets a certain condition.

* How did you determine what should be an instance variable versus a local variable?

  If a value had to be passed from method to method, such as the state of the board or the hash
  mapping B-I-N-G-O to 0-1-2-3-4, I made it an instance variable. Everything that was used in just
  one method was a local variable.

* What do you feel is most improved in your refactored solution?

  Instead of having multiple case statements, I made a hash mapping B-I-N-G-O to 0-1-2-3-4 and
  referred to it when having to turn a letter into an index and vice versa.

Brexit will cause about 3,500 to 12,000 financial-services jobs to move from Britain to the European Union in the short term, the City of London financial district's leader said on Tuesday, and many more jobs might disappear in the longer term.
More than 2 million people work in financial services across Britain.
Brexit will cause about 3,500 to 12,000 financial-services jobs to move from Britain to the European Union in the short term, the City of London financial district's leader said on Tuesday, and many more jobs might disappear in the longer term. More than 2 million people work in financial services across Britain.
"We are not expecting a big Brexodus in the first instance. But depending on how things pan out … in the longer term, we may see many more go," Catherine McGuinness told parliament's Exiting the European Union Committee. Banks, insurers and asset managers in Britain are opening hubs in the EU before Britain's departure from the EU in March to ensure continuity in services to customers there.
The City was disappointed that Britain's government ditched its preferred option of future EU trade based on mutual recognition, whereby Britain and the EU accept each other's rules under two-way regulatory cooperation. "We had expected continued support for mutual recognition," McGuinness said.
Instead, Britain has asked for financial-services access based on a more accommodative version of the EU's equivalence system, used by Japan and the United States, whereby Brussels alone decides who gets access. So far, the EU has said it won't adapt its equivalence system in the way Britain wants. "We can all see it's going to be an uphill task to persuade the EU27," McGuinness said.


During our fall break trip down to the Pelican Beach Resort Destin we found so many fun things to do including visiting "The Track". Below are pictures from just a few of the available rides and activities. I did not take pictures of the larger cart track or other adult rides available.
The Track is only about one eighth mile from the Destin Pelican Beach Resort but on the opposite side of Highway 98E. My wife and daughters enjoyed playing putt-putt.
If you are headed to Florida for a Destin beachfront condo vacation give me a call at 731-589-7841 and I will do my best to help you stay in one of my Pelican Beach Resort units.

An accomplished linguist, Gabriella speaks five languages including French, Dutch and Japanese, and has actively used her skills to the benefit of her career in journalism.
After working for an international marketing company, she decided to pursue her passion – writing – by taking up her current position as Arts & Culture reporter for her local newspaper, the Weardale Gazette in April 2009. Her job often allows her to exercise her language skills – for example attending a traditional German carnival in the area and conducting interviews in German.
Gabriella studied French, German, Linguistics and Art History at Durham University, where she enhanced her student experience by becoming an International Student Representative, providing vital language support for the international student body. She also spent seven months of her course as a teaching assistant in the town of Arras, Northern France, regularly travelling to the Louvre in Paris to conduct research for her Art History assignments.
In the future, Gabriella would love to work as a foreign correspondent for a national newspaper.
