Sunday Ratings: X Factor and Downton Abbey Give ITV Strong Ratings
September 27, 2010 Broadcasting ATV Today
The X Factor and new period drama Downton Abbey gave ITV some very strong figures on Sunday evening.
The X Factor and new period drama Downton Abbey gave ITV some very strong figures yesterday evening. The second weekend edition of The X Factor, which shifted away from the auditions and onto the boot-camp stage of the talent competition, had big figures for ITV1 between 7.45pm and 9pm. On Saturday evening the show had 10.7 million viewers with a peak of nearly 12 million viewers. On Sunday evening its ratings rose to an average of 11.9 million viewers with a staggering peak of 14.2 million viewers – the highest peak for The X Factor so far this year. Before The X Factor at 6.45pm gameshow The Cube also rated well with 5.3 million viewers. You can view a selection of clips from The X Factor boot-camp stages here >>
Following The X Factor at 9pm was the opening instalment of the Julian Fellowes drama Downton Abbey. The seven part series opened with a 90 minute episode and stars Maggie Smith and Hugh Bonneville. According to overnight ratings its lead-in from The X Factor benefited it greatly as 7.7 million viewers watched the new drama – a very strong launch for the drama. Over on BBC One the return of police drama Inspector George Gently, starring Martin Shaw, put in a respectable 5.2 million viewers between 8.30 and 10pm. Earlier in the evening ever reliable rural affairs magazine programme Countryfile had 6 million viewers with this week's Antiques Roadshow pulling in 6.2 million viewers.

Thanks to the Asean Economic Community (AEC), setting up a regional headquarters in the Philippines allows investors to participate in one of the world's fastest-growing economies while also enjoying easier access to other promising countries in the region.
Launched in 2015, AEC seeks to transform Asean's ten member-states into a single market and production base. Policymakers have started eliminating tariffs, harmonizing rules, and relaxing restrictions. With Asean poised to become the world's fourth-largest economy by 2030, investors that enter the market at this stage are expected to reap the most benefits moving forward.
Moreover, multinationals whose regional headquarters are based in the Philippines are entitled to a number of government incentives depending on the nature of activities they engage in.
ROHQs are allowed to derive income from these services, but note that they can only perform these services for their own affiliates, subsidiaries or branches. Soliciting or marketing any good or service, even on behalf of their mother company, branches, affiliates, subsidiaries, or any other company, is also prohibited.
ROHQs are subject to a 10% income tax, which is lower than the prevailing 30% corporate income tax rate. But any income derived from Philippine sources that is remitted to the parent company abroad is subject to the tax on branch profit remittances. ROHQs also enjoy a lower value added tax (VAT) rate of 10% versus the prevailing 12%.
Meanwhile, RHQs are companies that "supervise, superintend, inspect or coordinate its own affiliates, subsidiaries or branches" abroad. They cannot derive any income from local sources, manage any subsidiary or branch office they might have in the Philippines, or solicit or market goods and services, even on behalf of their mother company, branches, affiliates, subsidiaries, or any other company.
RHQs are exempt from paying the income tax and VAT. The sale or lease of goods and property, and the rendition of services to RHQs are also subject to 0% VAT.
Travel tax exemption for foreign personnel and their dependents.
The current administration is proposing a comprehensive tax reform package, which may affect these tax rates and incentives. Filepino is closely monitoring this initiative.

"Best" Cities for Celebrating the New Year
Published December 29, 2017 | By Clark Norton
Times Square on New Years' Eve — I'll be watching at home
The one time I don't like to travel during the year is between Christmas and New Year's Day.
Theoretically, it's the week when I clean up my office, get my affairs in order, and enjoy more time with family and friends. Oh yes, and watch some football, especially my beloved Michigan Wolverines, who often play in a bowl game on the morning of January 1 so I have to be abstemious the night before. Go Blue!
In practice, it doesn't always work out that way, but I still prefer spending New Year's Eve at home with my wife, Netflix, and clam dip, unless we're invited to a small party with nearby friends or family. I lived in New York for 20 years and never made it to Times Square to see the ball drop — not on my Bucket List.
Apparently a lot of Americans feel the same way. According to the financial website Wallethub, about two-thirds typically spend New Year's Eve at home or at a friend's house. Only nine percent go to a bar, restaurant, or organized event.
Nearly a third fall asleep before midnight. (I'm guessing a lot of these are outside the Eastern Time zone, allowing them to see the ball drop early and call it a night.)
And more than 80 percent spend less than $200 celebrating New Year's. (That's still a lot of clam dip.)
But For Those Who Do Travel…
Lest you make me out to be a Scrooge of New Years' Eve celebrations, I bring you Wallethub's choices of the best places in which to celebrate the New Year, based on a survey of three main factors — Entertainment and Food, Costs, and Safety and Accessibility — in America's 100 most populous cities.
Within those three broad categories are a number of sub-categories, each weighted for importance.
These include the most and fewest nightlife options per capita, the most and fewest restaurants per capita, the most and fewest gourmet food stores per capita, the lowest and highest wine prices per capita, the lowest and highest prices for a three-star hotel room on New Year's Eve, and the number of DUI arrests, among others.
I'm not sure if they included average prices for hangover remedies or an airport misery index, but they covered the celebratory turf pretty well.
The Winners and Losers
The number one best city for celebrating the New Year?
New York City, of course — even though it ranked 99th out of 100 in the "Costs" category. But it finished on top for Entertainment and Food and in sixth place for Safety and Accessibility.
Completing the top five were Orlando, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
Soon to be clam dip.
Orlando fared just well enough in Entertainment and Food and Costs to top Atlanta, though neither did well in the Safety and Accessibility department.
Los Angeles placed sixth for Entertainment and Food, did only average for Costs and Safety, but still edged out San Francisco, which placed second in Food and Entertainment but finished 97th in Costs and well down the list in Safety and Accessibility. (Anyone who has tried to drive to SF over the Bay Bridge or Golden Gate Bridge at anytime resembling New Year's Eve can attest to the [lack of] Accessibility factor — though public transportation is available from across the bay.)
San Diego, Chicago, Miami, Washington, DC, and Las Vegas, Nevada, rounded out the top ten, though Miami finished last in Costs, Washington finished 88th in that category, Chicago finished 70th, and Las Vegas 69th (spending the evening in a casino might well skew that statistic into the stratosphere.)
All the top ten did well in the Food and Entertainment realm, but (except for New York) didn't fare particularly well in Safety and Accessibility, ranging from Washington, DC's 35th spot to Atlanta's 88th.
My own city, Tucson, finished in the top third (well, number 32) based on a pretty alluring Costs rank, which still won't lure me out of the house.
But there's good news for folks traveling to Hialeah, Florida, which finished dead last (number 100) in Wallethub's survey of Best Places to Spend Christmas.
Hialeah zoomed all the way to 97th place in the New Years' survey, ahead of Newark, New Jersey, Fremont, California, and North Las Vegas, Nevada.
So here's to you, Hialeah — and to everyone, a Happy New Year!
Bonus! Recipe for clam dip:
One clove garlic, halved
One 8-ounce can minced clams, drained but with liquid reserved
One 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Sriracha to taste
Freshly ground pepper and 1/2 tsp. salt
Rub a bowl with garlic halves and discard garlic
Combine clams, cream cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Salt and pepper and Sriracha to taste, and stir until blended.
Add reserved clam liquid as needed to reach spreading consistency. Give unused liquid to cat and wish him/her Happy New Year.
Cover, refrigerate 2 hours or more, unless you are in desperate need (usually the case with me).
Serve with chips, crackers, crudites, etc.
Enjoy with Netflix, Amazon Prime, or whoever has replaced Dick Clark on Rockin' New Year's Eve.

The Bucktruck at fullback. Good to see the man back!
Looking at the make up of that team, Buckman should be in the forwards.
It looks like the absence of one player (Mo'unga) has led to a complete overhaul of the backline (except the midfielders).
At least there will be someone to blame.
Anyone got a theory on the logic of shifting Dagg to the wing and Havili to fullback?
I can only think that David's going to be doing at least some, if not all, of the goalkicking.
Otherwise it's a bit of an indictment of all the specialist wings in the squad.
Pleased to see Hunt at first five. Let's hope he goes well, because I've got very little faith in McKenzie.
The Crusaders are really short on experienced, specialist wings (they have Ioane, Bridge, Macilai, Mataele, Fifita). Ioane is only just returning from injury and may play for the Knights, but isn't ready for SR; Macilai is out for the season; Mataele and Fifita are uncapped; and George Bridge has only one cap from last week.
So even if they've moved Dagg to the wing to strengthen the wings, and not to bring Havili on for his boot, then I can hardly see it as an indictment of all the specialist wings in the squad. It may just mean that they want more experience in this position.
So happy Robbie is back.
Also very happy that Robertson has gone with Hunt at 10. There's no way Blackadder would take a risk like that.
Duluth last edited by @Chris B.
I know he was mostly at fullback in the NPC but did he get any starts for Tasman at 10? How did he go?
@Duluth Only one I can remember very clearly was the season opener vs Waikato, where Hunt played 1st five for Tasman and I'm pretty sure Damien McKenzie played 1st five for Waikato.
Tasman scraped home if that's any indication and I recall thinking Damien had a long way to go to be an AB first five. Can't remember much about Hunt - don't think he was brilliant. He may have got another start or two before Marty Banks returned from injury. And I'm pretty sure Marty missed another game somewhere - he seemed to be playing injured a lot of the time.
One of the Highlanders forwards/frontrowers just injured himself during warm-up. Looked like he won't be back. Couldn't see who it was; maybe Coltman?


For years, I've attempted to prepare a weekly dinner menu, Sunday through Thursday. Sometimes this happens with great success, and other weeks we eat day-to-day. I have some (non-cooking) friends who were shocked when they learned I do this. How do you know what you're going to want to eat? Simple. We eat what's in the plan. How do you have time to make the plan? It's saves tons of time over just winging it daily - a lot less stressful, too. And it's significantly cheaper - no daily trips to the grocery store - or worse - simply having dinner out (bad both for the wallet and the waistline).
* Chocolate Mousse Pie with brandied cherry cordials for Friday evening's book club dinner with our hubbies. This is a tremendous dessert from the now out of print The LA Times California Cookbook. I'll post the recipe after I make it so that I have a pretty photo to show it.

Geek, History, Science, Space, Tech
10+ Epic Science Technology
November 2, 2012 November 2, 2012 infinigeek
Science is AMAZING (as you know lol), but what is also amazing is the technology that we enjoy as a result of the pursuit of knowledge and understanding of our universe via Science! Whether it directly affects you or not, what we learn as a result of all of these different things vastly improves life on this planet for everyone. It also sets the stage for future generations to stand on our shoulders, and make the world a better place, just as we have stood on the shoulders of giants that came before us. Genius of the likes of Newton, Einstein, Tesla, and many others spent their life discovering things that paved the way for us to create most of the things you enjoy on a daily basis.
Science, Technology And Society
It has never been a more exciting time to be a Science geek than now because we have such incredible technology and a growing understanding of the universe. When you study history, then look at these modern marvels featured below – just take a step back, and have your mind blown to pieces by just how advanced these things are compared to anything ever mentioned in a history book. Science, technology and society (and the inventions, disciplines, and technology that emerge from it) really have a lot to do with the world around you, the standard of living we enjoy today, and of course the future of humanity. 50 years from now this world will most likely look like another planet (if it is still here) from all of the technical & Scientific advances that we are laying the ground work for today.
Technology and society or technology and culture refers to cyclical co-dependence, co-influence, co-production of technology and society upon the other (technology upon culture, and vice-versa). This synergistic relationship occurred from the dawn of humankind, with the invention of simple tools and continues into modern technologies such as the printing press and computers. The academic discipline studying the impacts of science, technology, and society and vice versa is called (and can be found at) Science and technology studies.
The importance of stone tools, circa 2.5 million years ago, is considered fundamental in human development in the hunting hypothesis.
It has been suggested, in Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human, that the control of fire by early humans and the associated development of cooking was the spark that radically changed human evolution.
All these little changes in mobile phones, like Internet access, are further examples of the cycle of co-production. Society's need for being able to call on people and be available everywhere resulted in the research and development of mobile phones. They in turn influenced the way we live our lives. As the populace relies more and more on mobile phones, additional features were requested. This is also true with today's modern media player.
Society also influenced changes to previous generation media players. In the first personal music players, cassettes stored music. However, that method seemed fragile and relatively low fidelity when compact disks came along. Later, availability of MP3 and other compact file formats made compact disks seem too large and limited, so manufactures created MP3 players which are small and hold large amount of data. Societal preferences helped determined the course of events through predictable preferences.
As you can see throughout history Science & Technology have fueled many an innovation and breakthrough. Today we showcase some of the most fascinating, massive, incredible, and awesome Scientific Machines made by man that harness awesome bleeding edge technology to study and observe the very large or the very small mysteries in our universe. Exciting times we live in! We hope that you learn a lot from these machines, get inspired to push some boundaries of your own, and say "Wow" numerous times. Enjoy!
A truly incredible machine – one of the largest machine ever built by humans, and one of mans greatest achievements (it is also the worlds largest science experiment)! This thing is HUGE, So Massive. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) from 1998 to 2008, with the aim of allowing physicists to test the predictions of different theories of particle physics and high-energy physics, and particularly that of the existence of the hypothesized Higgs boson and of the large family of new particles predicted by supersymmetric theories. It contains six detectors each designed for specific kinds of exploration.
The LHC lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as deep as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. Its synchrotron is designed to collide opposing particle beams of either protons at up to 7 teraelectronvolts (7 TeV or 1.12 microjoules) per nucleon, or lead nuclei at an energy of 574 TeV (92.0 µJ) per nucleus (2.76 TeV per nucleon-pair). It was built in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries, as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. I want to one day visit this masterpiece, but for now, at least I can check the beam status on their site.
You know your awesome when XKCD makes a comic about you, LHC Machine.
Titan Transmission Electron Microscope
Behold, the FEI Titan 80–300 electron microscope. This commercial microscope is one of the most powerful and advanced microscopes available today. You can see one in action on the BBC Horizon documentary "How Small is the Universe?" (which is awesome). It can be operated at voltages between 80 and 300 keV, both in TEM and STEM (that is scanning TEM) modes. To minimize the mechanical vibrations, the microscope is located in a separate room within a sound-proof enclosure and is operated remotely. The electron source is a Schottky type field emission gun with a relatively low energy spread of 0.8 eV at 300 keV. In order to reduce chromatic aberrations, this spread is further lowered to 0.13 eV at 300 keV and 0.08 eV at 80 kV using a Wien-filter type monochromator. Both the illumination lens, which is located above the sample and is conventionally called the condenser lens, and the collection lens (called the objective lens) are equipped with fifth-order spherical aberration correctors. The electrons are further energy filtered by a GIF filter and detected by a CCD camera. The filter makes it possible to select electrons scattered by specific chemical elements and so identify individual atoms in the sample being studied. Needless to say, it is way more powerful than the microscope you played with in your high school science class.
Swiss Light Source
The Swiss Light Source is a synchrotron located at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland for producing electromagnetic radiation of high brightness. Basically, it is a million watt lightbulb that produces one of the most powerful highly focused x-ray beams in the world that is used to split electrons. Planning started in 1991, project was approved in 1997, and first light from the storage ring was seen at December 15, 2000. The experimental program started in June 2001 and it is used for research in materials science, biology and chemistry.
Our flying station in the sky. The International Space Station (ISS) is a habitable artificial satellite in low Earth orbit. It follows the Salyut, Almaz, Skylab and Mir stations as the ninth space station to be inhabited. The ISS is a modular structure whose first component was launched in 1998. Like many artificial satellites, the station can be seen with the naked eye from Earth without any special equipment. The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays and other components. ISS components have been launched by American Space Shuttles as well as Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets. Budget constraints led to the merger of three space station projects with the Japanese Kibō module and Canadian robotics. In 1993 the partially built Soviet/Russian Mir-2, the proposed American Freedom, and the proposed European Columbus merged into a single multinational programme. The Russian Federal Space Agency (RSA/RKA) is using the ISS as a work site to assemble their next space station, called OPSEK. Modules and components for the new station began arriving on orbit in 2010, and the RSA plans to commission the new station before the remainder of the ISS is de-orbited.
The ISS serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which crew members conduct experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology and other fields. The station is suited for the testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions to the Moon and Mars. The station has been continuously occupied for 11 years and 365 days, having exceeded the previous record of almost 10 years (or 3,644 days) held by Mir, in 2010. The station is serviced by Soyuz spacecraft, Progress spacecraft, the Automated Transfer Vehicle, the H-II Transfer Vehicle, and formerly the Space Shuttle. It has been visited by astronauts and cosmonauts from 15 different nations. On 25 May 2012, Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (or SpaceX) became the world's first privately held company to send a cargo load, via the Dragon spacecraft, to the International Space Station. Go Elon Musk!
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a space telescope that was carried into orbit by a Space Shuttle in 1990 and remains in operation. A 2.4-meter (7.9 ft) aperture telescope in low Earth orbit, Hubble's four main instruments observe in the near ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared. The telescope is named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble and is the largest of our Space Telescopes.
Hubble's orbit outside the distortion of Earth's atmosphere allows it to take extremely sharp images with almost no background light. Hubble's Ultra-Deep Field image, for instance, is the most detailed visible-light image ever made of the universe's most distant objects. Many Hubble observations have led to breakthroughs in astrophysics, such as accurately determining the rate of expansion of the universe.
Although not the first space telescope, Hubble is one of the largest and most versatile, and is well known as both a vital research tool and a public relations boon for astronomy. The HST was built by the United States space agency NASA, with contributions from the European Space Agency, and is operated by the Space Telescope Science Institute. The HST is one of NASA's Great Observatories, along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.
It makes one trip around the earth every 97 minutes. Amazing.
To commemorate Hubble Telescope's 20th anniversary, NASA released this Wide Field Camera 3 shot of a portion of Carina Nebula, dubbed "Mystic Mountain". Taken in February 2010, oxygen is colored blue, hydrogen and nitrogen green, and sulfur with red
Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) Satellite
The Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) is a NASA Explorer program Solar and space exploration mission to study matter comprising energetic particles from the solar wind, the interplanetary medium, and other sources. Weighing in at 596 kilograms (1,313 lb), it has a number of instruments to track solar winds and cosmic rays which can give a 1 hour in advance warning about geomagnetic storms that are heading towards earth. Real-time data from ACE is used by the Space Weather Prediction Center to improve forecasts and warnings of solar storms. The ACE robotic spacecraft was launched August 25, 1997 and is currently operating in a Lissajous orbit close to the L1 Lagrange point (which lies between the Sun and the Earth at a distance of some 1.5 million km from the latter). The spacecraft is still in generally good condition, and has enough fuel to maintain its orbit until 2024. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center managed the development and integration of the ACE spacecraft.
This video really puts ACE's purpose into perspective
This guy pretty much lives here. It orbits at the L1 Lagrangian point, between the sun and the Earth. Thanks for letting us know about those Solar Winds Bro! *in satellite voice* You. Are. Welcome… Heart Emoticon. Bzzt
Kepler Telescope
Kepler is a relatively low-cost space observatory launched by NASA to discover Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. It also introduced an awesome concept – "Citizen scientist participation" – you can actually discover planets yourself using the telescopes Image Data! So Cool! The spacecraft, named in honor of the 17th-century German astronomer Johannes Kepler, was launched on 7 March 2009, and has been active for 3 years, 7 months and 17 days as of 24 October 2012.
The Kepler mission is "specifically designed to survey a portion of our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover dozens of Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone and determine how many of the billions of stars in our galaxy have such planets." Kepler's only instrument is a photometer that continually monitors the brightness of over 145,000 main sequence stars in a fixed field of view. This data is transmitted to Earth, then analyzed to detect periodic dimming caused by extrasolar planets that cross in front of their host star.
The primary mirror of the Kepler telescope. The craft's mission is to discover Earth-like planets in Earth-like places.
Kepler is designed to measure tiny brightness variations in stars that might indicate orbiting planets.
One of my Favorite Satellites of All Time! (I'mma let you finish, lol) To me, the Voyager 1 is a prime example as to WHY we NEED space programs like this, and why the things we learn from them over the course of their lives are invaluable. You cannot put a price tag on the progression of the understanding of our Universe, For Humanity! We have learned so much from Voyager since it launched 35 years ago. The Voyager 1 spacecraft is a 722 kilogram (1,592 lb) space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977 to study the outer Solar System and interstellar medium. Operating for 35 years, 1 month and 26 days as of 31 October 2012, the spacecraft receives routine commands and transmits data back to the Deep Space Network. At a distance of about 122 AU (1.83×1010 km) as of September 2012, it is the furthest manmade object from Earth. Voyager 1 is now in the heliosheath, which is the outermost layer of the heliosphere. On June 15, 2012, NASA scientists reported that Voyager 1 may be very close to entering interstellar space and becoming the first manmade object to leave the Solar System.
As part of the Voyager program, and like its sister craft Voyager 2, the spacecraft is in extended mission, tasked with locating and studying the boundaries of the Solar System, including the Kuiper belt, the heliosphere and interstellar space. The primary mission ended November 20, 1980, after encountering the Jovian system in 1979 and the Saturnian system in 1980. It was the first probe to provide detailed images of the two largest planets and their moons.
So Awesome, Probably my favorite part of the Voyager spacecrafts. Each Voyager space probe carries a gold-plated audio-visual disc in the event that either spacecraft is ever found by intelligent life-forms from other planetary systems.
Simply Stunning. One of the first ever detailed images of Jupiter. The Great Red Spot as seen from Voyager 1 in 1979.
One of the first ever detailed images of Saturn. Saturn from 5.3 million km, four days after its closest approach in 1980. 5 years before I was born, this thing was hurdling through space taking historic pictures of other worlds, and now I am here telling you how awesome that is. That to me, is mind blowing.
The Machine that got a generation interested in space travel again! Watching this thing landing on mars LIVE was a tremendously historical event. Another great example of money well spent in the name of Space & Science Technology! The Curiosity rover is a car-sized robotic rover exploring Gale Crater on Mars as part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission (MSL).
Curiosity was launched from Cape Canaveral on November 26, 2011, at 10:02 EST aboard the MSL spacecraft and successfully landed on Aeolis Palus in Gale Crater on Mars on August 6, 2012, 05:17 UTC. The Bradbury Landing site was less than 2.4 km (1.5 mi) from the center of the rover's touchdown target after a 563,000,000 km (350,000,000 mi) journey. The landing site coordinates are: 4.5895°S 137.4417°E.
The rover's goals include: investigation of the Martian climate and geology; assessment of whether the selected field site inside Gale Crater ever has offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life, including investigation of the role of water; and planetary habitability studies in preparation for future human exploration.

Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) Satellite
The Solar Dynamics Observatory Basically takes a high resolution image of the sun in 10 different wavelengths of light once every 10 seconds. Awesome. The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is a NASA mission which will observe the Sun for over five years. Launched on February 11, 2010, the observatory is part of the Living With a Star (LWS) program. The goal of the LWS program is to develop the scientific understanding necessary to effectively address those aspects of the connected Sun–Earth system that directly affect life and society. SDO's goal is to understand the Sun's influence on Earth and near-Earth space by studying the solar atmosphere on small scales of space and time and in many wavelengths simultaneously. SDO will investigate how the Sun's magnetic field is generated and structured, how this stored magnetic energy is converted and released into the heliosphere and geospace in the form of solar wind, energetic particles, and variations in the solar irradiance.

JET Tokamak
Probably one of the coolest pieces of science technology here. JET, the Joint European Torus, is a magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment located in Oxfordshire, UK. It is currently the largest facility of its kind in operation (but that will only be until ITER is built, construction starts in 2013. Then ITER will then be overshadowed by 4x more powerful DEMO wayyyy in the future, construction for this starts in 2024. THEN PROTO will be created after that in post-2050.)
The main purpose of JET is to open the way to future nuclear fusion experimental tokamak reactors such as ITER and DEMO.
The JET facilities are situated on a retired Navy airfield near Culham, Oxfordshire – RNAS Culham (HMS Hornbill), in the UK: the construction of the buildings which house the project was undertaken by Tarmac Construction, starting in 1978 with the Torus Hall being completed in January 1982. Construction of the JET machine itself began immediately after the completion of the Torus Hall, with the first plasma experiments in 1983.
The components for the JET machine came from manufacturers all over Europe, with these components transported to the site.
Because of the extremely high power requirements for the tokamak, and the fact that power draw from the main grid is limited, two large flywheel generators were constructed to provide this necessary power. Each 775 ton flywheel can spin up to 225 rpm. One generator provides power for the 32 toroidal field coils, the other for inner poloidal field coils. The outer field coils draw their power from the grid.
JET is equipped with remote handling facilities to cope with the radioactivity produced by deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel, which is the fuel proposed for the first generation of fusion power plants. Pending construction of ITER, JET remains the only large fusion reactor with facilities dedicated to handling the radioactivity released from D-T fusion. The power production record-breaking runs from JET and TFTR used 50–50 D-T fuel mixes.
Nuclear Fusion is extremely fascinating – French Nobel laureate in physics, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes said of nuclear fusion, "We say that we will put the sun into a box. The idea is pretty. The problem is, we don't know how to make the box.". According to researchers at a demonstration reactor in Japan, a fusion generator should be feasible in the 2030s and no later than the 2050s. Japan is pursuing its own research program with several operational facilities that are exploring several fusion paths.
That thing is AWESOME.

Share this Story: More teachers hired to accommodate smaller class sizes
More teachers hired to accommodate smaller class sizes
Mark Malone
Chatham-Kent's two largest local school boards have hired new teachers and not laid off anyone while reducing class sizes for the coming school year, say their directors of education.
Elementary students will begin returning Thursday, Sept. 10, and secondary students will start returning Monday, Sept. 14, under a staggered start schedule.
More teachers hired to accommodate smaller class sizes Back to video
The average class sizes in the Lambton Kent District school board have decreased to 20 students in full-day kindergarten this year from 24.8 students last year, to 18 from 18.6 in grades 1 to 3 and to 22 from 24.7 in grades 4 to 8, director of education John Howitt said.
"There will be the odd class that's a little bit larger – that's the way averages work – but we've added approximately 25 teaching staff into the face-to-face learning to bring those class sizes down. … The class sizes have not increased in face to face," Howitt said in a conference call on Sept. 3.
Students have enrolled for either face-to-face classes in school or online, teacher-led classes because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The average class sizes in the St. Clair Catholic District school board are down to 21 students in junior and senior kindergarten, 18 in grades 1 to 3, 22 in grades 4 to 8 and 20 in secondary school, said director of education Deb Crawford.
"We've hired an additional probably … 22 teachers so that we're able to keep our class sizes down in the face-to-face model and then provide instructors for the virtual model," she said.
The St. Clair board has also added early childhood educators, program resource teachers and educational assistants, she said.
The Ministry of Education did not set new limits on class sizes in the province's back-to-school plans, Howitt said, but neither local board has classes that exceed the existing limits.
In the Lambton Kent District school board, 13.9 per cent of elementary students and 14.4 per cent of secondary students have so far enrolled in the learn-at-home program.
The percentage of students enrolled in online classes range from as low as three per cent and as high as 24 per cent, depending on the school, Howitt said.
In the St. Clair Catholic District school board, about 12 per cent of elementary students and 13 per cent of secondary students have registered for online learning.
The percentage varies from two to 18 per cent, depending on the school, Crawford said.
The province required all school boards to develop three reopening plans this summer: full-time classes, a mix of in-class and online learning, and online lessons only.
If a classroom or a school needs to shut because of an outbreak, the boards can pivot to teach as many students as necessary online, Howitt said.
"We're setting up digital classrooms for those who are in face to face as well so that we will very quickly be able to continue with curriculum delivery to classes," he said. "They'll just stick with their face-to-face teacher. They don't move to the virtual school."
In such a scenario, students already learning online would also remain with their original teacher, Crawford said.
The St. Clair Catholic board is set to open its new elementary school, St. Angela Merici Catholic school, after closing three schools, Our Lady of Fatima, St. Vincent and St. Agnes. There are no plans to reopen those schools if classes grow too large, but it is an option, Crawford said.
"If we did have large classrooms, we'd be looking at using larger spaces in schools," such as libraries, Crawford said.

Where You Come From Will Never Determine Where You End Up If You Don't Let It.
It was a busy Friday morning in the office when my boss sat at my desk and pulled up a TED Talk video as he asked for a few minutes of my time. I sat only half tuned into what the presenter was saying because I was thinking of the multiple tasks and deadlines that awaited me. Suddenly the presenter in the video said something that struck a chord with me.
He was reminiscing about his early quest to become rich and successful. In an effort to learn how, he began to hang out where they did but was faced with the challenge of driving a junky car and the need to park it blocks away. He feared that the people he so desperately wanted to learn from would lower their expectations of him as a result of his car.
I, at one time was in the same predicament. In my early days of being a real estate agent I would park my nineteen ninety something Ford Taurus down the street so that potential buyers wouldn't see the smoke rising from under the hood. I'd show up early to ensure my car wouldn't be seen. When it was time to leave, I'd let the buyers leave first and then peek through the window until the coast was clear for me to walk to my car and drive off without being embarrassed.
Looking back I'm now thankful for that car because it taught me about the importance of perseverance and overcoming challenges.
Josiah Cantrall offers up an inspiring narrative of one youths quest to escape generational hopelessness and dream beyond the confines of mere existence and death.

Comeaux teacher shares students' reaction to Matthew Carter's death
Posted: Jan 22, 2020 / 11:40 PM CST / Updated: Jan 23, 2020 / 09:11 AM CST
"Somebody's got to be there for them, and Matthew was like that for his peers."
– Darlene Scott, Matthew Carter's psychology teacher
LAFAYETTE, LA — Wednesday morning Matthew Carter's classmates, teachers, and coaches learned about his death. He died from his injuries, the victim of a shooting and armed robbery. A 13 and 14-year-old were arrested with 1st-degree murder charges.
"The whole Spartan family is grieving because we're a family, and we lost one," said Darlene Scott, Matthew Carter's psychology teacher.
Today, during the time she would normally teach him, she got an email she will never forget. Her students read her face, hoping for good news, but realized their classmate was gone.
"They would say, "It's such a waste He didn't deserve this. He had a future, and it was taken away, and it made them realize that life could be short," Scott recalled.
Over a dozen guidance counselors entered the classroom according to Scott. She lit candles and students gathered around Carter's decorated desk to share stories of the most likable guy they knew.

"He was a friend," Scott said. "He didn't know a stranger. Everybody was a friend. It didn't matter. 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, 12th grade. It didn't matter. If he saw somebody sad, it was unacceptable. He had to go give them that big bear hug, and he loved solving everybody's problems."
Scott's classroom made a poster Tuesday and she brought it to the hospital that night. She shared a final moment with Carter before making 250 stickers that say "#31 Strong Mattew Carter We love you" in support of his family.
Scott shared very personal moments of her final one-way conversation in the hospital. She fixed Carter's hair, waiting for him to tell her to stop. She asked him if he owed him a dollar for the snack he "borrowed" of her desk.
She told him the story students were telling back at school, but not all of them loud enough for his parents to hear, "I just held his hand, and I talked to him. It's all I could do, hug the mom and the dad, because as a teacher the kids are my kids, I just feel like they are mine."
Scott said the entire school is mourning Mattew Carter's loss in different ways. Some students are making bracelets, shirts, jackets, even cupcakes to give out in his memory. Her 250 stickers were taken quickly Tuesday, so she made 1,250 more to return with Wednesday.
Scott had so much to share about Matthew Carter. He cared about his grades, planning to study radiology in college. He loved food, often meeting people by asking if they were going to finish a snack.
She says she is going to leave his desk decorated for the rest of the semester, so students can feel his presence there, "Such a great loss," Scott said, "It's just going to be a big hole in the class."
BATON ROUGE, La. (KLFY) -- Jan. 19, 2020, UPDATE: The Louisiana Department of Health has updated its website to reflect the latest number of positives and will continue to update its website at 12 p.m. each day except Saturdays.
Returning to work guidanceThe Department has issued guidance for essential workers returning to work post-COVID-19 recovery.
UPDATE, 1/19: Lafayette Police have identified the decesased as Devan Dufour, 28, of Scott. According to a press release this morning, Dufour has been identified as a pedestrian, not a bicyclist.

We're a small team based in New York, housing two collections, hosted in over 20 stores.
Since our founding in 2011, we've been exploring how to make our brides feel beautiful through elegant design and the luxury of choice.
Antonio Gual
New York is a particular place to have a design studio; the city has its own personality adding to the intrigue, and influencing our aesthetic. The happiness of being a part of a brides' dream come true is what makes it all worth while.
Larry Black
When I first started in the fashion industry years ago, I was fortunate to cross paths and work with Antonio. I knew the talent and creativity that he possessed far outweighed the trepidation of building a new company from the ground up.
"Before we walk, we
are taught romance..."
Antonio was born in Havana, Cuba - one of the most romantic cities in the world. Naturally, he gravitated to designing wedding gowns because of their potential to bring pure joy, excitement, and delight. After all, we've heard that Cubans will go to great lengths for a bit of joy.
"Anything I put her in, she had the right attitude."
After grabbing his cousins' Barbie dolls to create toilet paper gowns behind closed doors, Antonio graduated to using fabric scraps that fell from his mother's cutting table. At her factory, where he first sat down in front of a sewing machine, he felt it was more about realizing a vision than sewing stitches.
The Maja Collection
The most recent addition to our Antonio Gual line, inspired by Francisco Goya's image of the Maja.
BROWSE GOWNS
"I couldn't remember the
dress names for the life of
me..."
When Larry Black, our company's president, felt disconnected from our dress names, we began naming each of them after a loved one. In this vein, we created a second collection named after his wife, Jennifer Black.
"I'm just surrounded by music and beauty all day..."
Jennifer, a classical pianist, was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer in early 2016. After her treatment, the organization 5under40 helped her through recovery.
In appreciation for all that they are, a portion of proceeds from the Jennifer Black line is donated to help 5under40 support more women.
The Camellia Collection
The latest in the Jennifer Black line,
our opening price point collection,
founded in 2017 to support an
organization we love - 5under40.
Jennifer Black Spring 2021
Our last JB collection, featuring crisp
lines and elegant silhouettes.
Antonio Gual Spring 2021
The last collection within our original
Antonio Gual line. The AG line uses more novel
fabrics, and our classic silhouettes.

The City of Sarasota is closing the intersection at Orange Avenue and Ringling Boulevard on Monday, Nov. 27, in order to convert the intersection into a single-lane roundabout. The project also includes infrastructure upgrades like a new water line, additional lighting for the road and sidewalk and landscaping improvements. To receive a $881,000 in grant funding provided by the Florida Department of Transportation, the improvement project was required to begin before 2018. Construction is expected to be completed by next May.

Look East: Preparations for Student Rag Bed Race
4:04 1970 Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
BBC East report on preparations for the Cambridge student rag bed race.
News; Television
Vision and interviews from a BBC Look East report on the preparations and trial run for the Cambridge student rag bed race to London.
The modified beds and their teams wait in the snow, preparing for the trial run. The race begins as a variety of crazy contraptions race through the streets of Cambridge, dodging traffic and pedestrians. One bed hits the curb, falling apart, whilst another proves difficult to control.
Interviews with some of the female 'pilots' follows, with discussions of 'near scrapes', top speeds and their chances of actually finishing the 60 mile journey to London. One girl describes how her team decided it was too cold, and abandoned her on the roadside in order to go home and warm up.
Vic Epps, the rag organiser, discusses the reactions of Cambridge residents and the minimization of traffic chaos gained by racing on a Sunday. He also discusses the disappointing fundraising tally from the previous year and his expectation of a large improvement in this years collection. The report concludes with the teams walking the beds back to their colleges, in anticipation of the real event in the coming weeks.

Gozo Land Grab
Government's revocation of land ownership registrations in Nadur undermines legal certainty
By Victor Paul Borg 11 February 2022
In a move that seems at odds with fundamental property rights, the government has this morning revoked land registrations over a large area in Nadur, including the registration of a medieval foundation that has caused agony and fury over the past two years.
The government's legal notice may be susceptible to a challenge on constitutional grounds
Although the government revoked registrations over a large area, affecting registrations of many people, the prompt for today's legal notice as well as the earlier law that laid the ground for the revocations was the ownership registration of the Beneficcju ta Sant Antonio delli Navarra. This foundation – set up to raise money for pious deeds in 1675; now a running story known as the Gozo land grab – had registered ownership of an area of around four football pitches in size in Nadur on which around four dozen houses sit.
Area in yellow shading shows the entire areas on which registrations were revoked by Legal Notice 73 of 2022; area in red shading shows the area registered by the medieval foundation. Click on picture to enlarge.
Legal Notice 73 of 2022 made use of powers granted to the Minister for Home Affairs, National Security and Law Enforcement in a law enacted on 6 July 2021, enabling the minister to revoke any decision to open new areas for registration.
That power has been used today in Legal Notice 73 of 2022 for the first time. The Home Affairs Minister, Byron Camilleri, revoked an entire area of registration that had been declared a registration area in an earlier legal notice on 1 July 2019 by another minister, Ian Borg, who was at the time responsible for the Land Registration Agency. In that legal notice, Borg had opened eight areas for registration – five in Gozo, three in Malta. Of the five areas in Gozo, three were in Nadur and two in Ghajnsielem.
The latest legal notice has now revoked one of those three registration areas in Nadur, the one on which the land registered by the medieval foundation sits. The legal notice revoked all registrations on the area, as well as any so-called cautions put in by residents who challenged the medieval foundation's registration.
Revocations come after two years of twists
The publication of Legal Notice 73 of 2022 comes one day shy of the two-year anniversary of one of the medieval foundation's registrations of ownership. The foundation registered two parcels in two separate applications, the first filed on 21 January 2020 and the second on 12 February 2020.
The initial registrations had caused panic and outrage in Gozo. Some of the people whose houses sit on registered land became sick with worry of losing their houses.
Residents queuing outside the Land Registry in February of 2020 to check whether their property was registered.
The applications for registration were approved by then Assistant Land Registrar Marlin Vella, who has since resigned from the Land Registry.
At one point the government examined whether it could revoke the registrations, but an assessment by a lawyer within the State Advocate's office put a dampener on that process. The assessment was based on the premise that the boundaries of the area registered were not clear, and that these were then made good after the applicant submitted additional documents.
Yet this premise failed to consider something rather fundamental: the Assistant Land Registrar had approved the applications on basis of a document that did not even mention the area in the application, called Ic-Cnus tan-Nadur.
Shortly afterwards, in October of 2020, Junior Minister Alex Muscat said in the parliament that affected residents ought to file 'cautions' to challenge the registrations. Many residents eventually did so, and now Legal Notice 73 of 2022 has revoked all registrations and cautions. In effect it means that the area is no longer a registration area, and no one who has land on that area can apply to register title of that land.
Nadur residents in public meeting with Ministers to discuss registrations in March of 2020.
Legal notice may breach fundamental human rights
Legal research suggests that the legal notice revoking the registrations may breach an aspect of property rights enshrined in the Maltese Constitution as well as the Article 1 of the Protocol of the European Convention on Human Rights and, separately, Article 17 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
Property rights have given rise to the concept of "legitimate expectations", which are a kind of rights that are acquired by "a legal provision or legal act" (in the caselaw of the European Court of Human Rights) or "rights with an asset value creating, under the legal system, an established legal position" (in that of the European Court of Justice).
Since the opening of area for registrations in 2019 was made via a legal notice, that may form the starting point for the legal provision or act, or the established legal position, referred to by Europe's highest human rights court and the EU's court, both of which have jurisdiction over Malta's courts.
This legal position was further strengthened when people applied to register properties and these were approved by the Land Registration Agency. Although the ownership registration is preliminary for the first ten years – it only becomes guaranteed after ten years – the preliminary title is still a title, based on the legal premise that it would become guaranteed if no one challenges the registration within the initial 10-year period.
That means that it may still constitute a premised or established legal position in the context of pronouncements by Europe Court of Human Rights (ECHR). It is unclear, and debatable, whether it does make any difference that Legal Notice 73 of 2022 only revoked registrations made within the initial 10-year period. (The area had only been opened for registration in 2019, so none of the registrations are older than ten years in any case.)
This would mean that anyone who registered land ownership had acquired the legitimate expectation that the preliminary title would eventually become a guaranteed title.
The legal notice that revoked the registrations, or the registration area, also clashes with the principle of legal certainty. The Minister did not provide a reason for the revocation and, although a government does not necessarily have to give a reason to promulgate a law, particularly a legal notice, the lack of reason does add another element of the range of grievances or aggravations that could be invoked in a potential constitutional lawsuit.
There are people who spent considerable amounts of money to pay an architect and a notary to prepare their paperwork for registration. Yet they became collateral damage of a legal notice whose target is just one of the registrations, that of the medieval foundation.
The other question here is whether the government had other options, and why not opt for the other options.
All of this makes Legal Notice 73 of 2022 susceptible to challenge in the Maltese constitutional courts and, if it leads to that, in the EU's European Court of Justice under the so-called 'preliminary reference' mechanism, or else in the European Court of Human Rights.

The 2021 Northeast Conference men's basketball tournament was the postseason men's basketball tournament for the Northeast Conference for the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The tournament took place March 6 and 9, 2021 and all tournament games were played on home arenas of the higher-seeded school. The tournament winner received the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Seeds
Due to complications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, only the top four teams in the Northeast Conference were eligible to compete in the conference tournament. Teams were seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records.
Note: Merrimack College joined the Northeast Conference from Division II Northeast-10 Conference in 2019. At the time, the NEC did not allow transitional D-I members to play in the conference tournament, meaning that Warriors would not have been eligible for the NEC Tournament until 2024. After the 2021–22 season, the NEC presidents voted to allow transitional members to compete in the conference tournament starting with their third transitional seasons, making Merrimack eligible for the tournament starting with the 2023 edition.
Note: On February 28, Bryant announced they had canceled their final two regular season games against Mount St. Mary's because of positive COVID-19 results within Bryant's Tier 1 personnel and subsequent contact tracing. Bryant's status for the postseason had initially been uncertain, but they established their intent to compete in the tournament after meeting Rhode Island Department of Health guidelines. Bryant competed in its semifinal game with just seven players, one of whom was a walk-on.

I visited the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, once a trimester at least, and I spent many trimesters in my university town! I didn't go for a show, but frequently for the permanent collection. When I was 20 years old, the favorite pieces of the permanent collection were some Mary Cassat and Sargents.
I once remember taking my mother for a quick tour: either my parking meter was expiring or we had gotten there a few minutes before closing. "You cannot leave Boston without seeing the Frida Kahlo!" (And this was before Frida became mainstream with Selma Hayek). I took her by the hand and we went through the labyrinth before we landed in front of the small Autoportrait. My mother was dumbfounded about how I hadn't missed this tiny painting in the midst of the large collection.
It is because I visited it frequently. But today, I admit I would not remember the small details that differentiate the Boston Frida Kahlo Autoportrait from others. I saw many of them at the Fondation Giannada, in Martigny, some years ago. I can't recall if they had borrowed the Boston one or not for the Kahlo/Rivera exhibit.
Again, as per summer (and sometimes winter) tradition, I visited the Fondation Giannada: to view the collection of 70 Claude Monet paintings. When I sat on the train ride with my younger kids, I explained that there are three most famous painters ever: first, Picasso, second, Monet and third is Van Gogh. I told them that there is no escaping Monet: his paintings are dispersed all over the world, and that today, we were very fortunate to see 70 of them in a Swiss valley called Martigny.
The show was curated chronologically. We walked in a serpentine line of Monet affecionados and we studied the paintings. I asked my kids about the thematic, I asked my 6 year old to read some titles, I showed them Argenteuil and Giverny, but lost their attention on the London fog and the Rouen Cathedrals. They refocused on all his flowers and I told them that three of the paintings depicted Bordighiera in Italy, not far from their beloved SanRemo. I pointed carefully to his recognizable signature and I think they gained a first impression, if not more.
All the while, I looked for the provenance of the paintings and realized that most of them had been borrowed from the Musee Marmot in Paris. I remembered all too well that my sister had visited it, just this April and had mentioned the Monets! I was glad to have had the opportunity to see the Marmot pieces as the probability of visiting the museum in Paris is very low: there is too much to choose from there!
But what made the show even more unique was the blend of the Paris collection with Monets from Swiss collections: public and private. I always dwell on private collection pieces because I wonder when if ever that piece will be loaned again and if I will see the show. I explained to my daughter: "this Monet belongs in someone's house. In the bedroom, entrance, study, or living room. A family enjoys it all year round. Take a good look at it. Try to remember it. You may not see again."
My son begged to go play in the garden. We ran by a Calder mobile, the thumb of Cesar, the reclining figure of Henry Moore, the twirl of Venet. The sculptures we see every summer are now familiar to us.
And then we caught our train to Geneva, a train in a station very different from that of Monet's Paris train station in the late XIXth century!

CBT - Introspective Exposure
Rate habit (21 votes)
Discover More Habits
Interoceptive exposure is a form of exposure therapy typically used to treat panic and anxiety disorders. The focus is on understanding the body's physical reactions to situations. It allows you to correctly identify physical reactions for what they are, rather than interpreting them as the onset of a panic attack.
Successful interoceptive exposure allows you to experience your body without experiencing unnecessary fear. If you always get jittery when a panic attack is starting, you can try to do something that makes you jittery. This helps your body to realize that when you get jittery it does not always mean a panic attack is on the way.
Identify the physical reaction you're responding to. Do you associate shortness of breath with an impending panic attack? Dizziness? Heart racing? These are some of the most common reactions associated with anxiety attacks.
Perform activities to induce the reaction that you're afraid of. This is at the heart of exposure therapies. For example, if heart racing is a trigger for you, try running in place for two minutes. If shortness of breath is your trigger, breathe through a straw for two minutes. If it becomes too much for you, feel free to stop!
Reflect on the activity. What did you feel in your body? What did you think would happen? Was it as bad as you thought it would be? Could you have gone longer? You're likely to discover that you're stronger than you think and your body's reactions don't necessarily signal an impending panic attack.
May reduce anxiety
May decrease panic attacks
Exposing your body to physical reactions that frighten you helps your mind learn that they are not as frightening as you expect them to be. When you experience these reactions and they are not followed by a panic attack, your mind is able to weaken the anxiety that may be associated with the reaction and eventually the anxiety may be gone forever.
Suggested Frequency
Once per week or as your therapist suggests

Suggested Time of Day
While you can tackle interoceptive exposure on your own, you're going to have the most success working with a therapist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
They can help you identify the physical states that trigger your anxiety, find activities that will safely mimic your physical symptoms, and help you talk through it afterwards.
