There's Gold in Them Thar Hills | Article
By Outsourcing Center, Bruce McCracken, Business Writer
Mining Data To Create a Marketing Campaign
For Dialpad, a Santa Clara, California-based Web telephony service, harnessing the information generated by over 12 million worldwide users was a necessary and daunting task. There was a wealth of useful information in its database that increased by 12 gigabytes daily. "It was clear that we needed demographic statistics," says Christina Pate, manager market research.
But the firm did not have the capability to analyze the data or generate automated reports. It ordered ad hoc queries, then manually translated the results into spreadsheets or presentations. "We were doing nothing regarding demographics," says Pate.
The time element was a big factor for a new, dynamic industry with a limited demographic track record. Pate estimates it would have taken Dialpad at least six months to a year to reach the level of data analysis and presentation it needed. And it would have had to add full-time staff to do the work or spend scarce capital on hardware or software.
Speed to market was also an issue. With the industry's rapidly evolving business strategies, time was of the essence. Dialpad had to harvest the needed information locked in its voluminous database ASAP.
Digging For Gold
Outsourcing was the solution that produced savings in two valuable commodities - time and money. Dialpad selected digiMine of Bellevue, Washington, in May 2000 to provide the needed expertise in the analytic service known as data mining. digiMine corporate communication manager Joel Sider explains that "data mining applies mathematics to large sets of data to reveal unknown or hidden patterns and relationships."
Data mining delves into three areas. Segmentation breaks down a database into groups based upon behaviors or demographics. Another is affinity. These are combinations or relationships with two or more things such as related products or Web pages. The third is predictive data mining. These determine trends over time that companies can use for projections.
"Many people are overwhelmed with the amount of data generated in the Web environment. We take very large amounts of data, divide it into groups and segments so our clients can leverage it for intelligent decision-making," says John Samuel, digiMine vice president of marketing and product planning.
Reaping The Harvest
The outsourcing solution was quick. Samuel says digiMine deployed a data warehouse, analyzed the data and had reports ready for Dialpad "in less than a week." These reports included a wide variety of data analysis on customers, marketing, transactions and product information. Pate adds, "digiMine generated reports for us as soon as we sent them the log files."
digiMine assimilates the data and then translates it into reports when requested or automatically delivers those reports as scheduled. Samuel explains that the reports provide the information in a very interactive way. "The whole idea is for users to be able to ask questions and find the information that they need. Much of this is just point and click," says Samuel. Customer support is readily available, he adds.
While digiMine's program must be simple for beginners, it has to have sophisticated options for its power users. The outsourcing supplier allows this user group to create custom views as well as configure questions using their own variables.
Pate says the digiMine reports are so inclusive they have become the company's "only regular source of data on its Web site activity." Almost all of digiMine's reports are now broken down by product. Dialpad executives receive daily reports at the beginning of the next working day. Each report has several query options, so different users can customize the reports. "This speeds up the generation of internal and external presentations considerably," says the Dialpad executive.
Dialpad uses digiMine's reports to integrate all aspects of its Web site activity into Dialpad's business planning. "They help us think about what kind of customers we have. We can now analyze our call data," say Pate. The information allows Dialpad's marketing department to track the usage of its help pages, particularly the "Frequently Asked Questions" or FAQs. The company is also using digiMine's customized call reports to identify light, medium and heavy callers for internal marketing campaigns.
With this information in mind, Dialpad launched pay services in April 2001. At the same time there was a decline in the online advertising industry. Dialpad shifted focus to accommodate the change in the marketplace. Now it is interested in funnel and conversion data, for example. "digiMine was right there with us," says Pate.
Dialpad has also used digiMine to identify "cliffs" on its Web site. This is a place where the company loses customers, which can be in the registration or purchase process. "We are learning about these customers. digiMine reports help us understand them and what their behavior is," says Pate. Dialpad has used this understand to implement improvements in response.
Hidden Nuggets
Uncovering valuable information was an eye opener, according to Pate. "The extent of the international interest in our Web site from early on was a revelation," she says. digiMine's geographic analysis helped identify the top countries where Dialpad had users and potential customers. For example, Peru and Colombia were among the top five countries hitting the site. This knowledge prompted the company to launch Spanish language marketing campaigns and translate parts of its Web site into Spanish.
Pate says she cannot overestimate the advantage of having a supplier perform the company's data mining. "With changing priorities and workloads, an outsourced solution like digiMine remains constant. Those reports have improved our speed in recognizing both trends to exploit and problems to address. This has contributed to our understanding of our market and our ability to respond to it effectively. We have been able to focus scarce resources on growing our core business, which is telecommunications, not data analysis," she concludes.
Lessons from the Outsourcing Primer:
Companies trying to compete in the new economy can outsource to an experienced supplier offering a solution with proven technology.
Outsourcing cuts time to deployment.
Outsourcing saves upfront development and capital investment costs in a crucial but non-core process.
Knowledge of your customer base is crucial. An experienced outsourcing supplier can help you mine your data to take advantage of hidden trends
Data mining allows you to solve problems early on.

Eminem Handwrites Touching Letter To Afeni Shakur [PHOTOS]
Written By Trent Clark
The lineage between any MC worth their mettle and Tupac Shakur is always there and Eminem is no exception.
The most successful rapper of all-time recently paid homage to the direct inspiration for Pac's life–Ms. Afeni Shakur as a contribution to the The Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Georgia, Marshall Mathers expressed how the subject of "Dear Mama" actually inspired his life growing up as well.
"When I was feeling at my worst, I knew I could put that Tupac tape in, and suddenly things weren't so bad," he admitted. "He gave me the courage to stand up and say 'F**k the world!' 'This is who I am! And if you don't like it, go f**k yourself!' Thank you for giving us his spirit and yours. Thank you for giving us his spirit and yours! God bless you!" He also showed off his stencil skills by enclosing a drawn portrait of her son with the caption: "To Afeni, your friend 4-ever!–Marshall."

← Can I Use Cat6 Cable on Cat5 Network?
Speaking of Twinax cable, you might think of coax cable. They are two similar cable types. The difference is that the former one has two inner conductors in stead of one inside coax cable. The twin conductors of the Twinax do not carry individual signals, they work in a half-duplex mode, that is, both connectors are required to transmit data.
Twinax cable is often used for 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network. It has been used commonly to connect network hardware through SFP+ interfaces in short-range signaling applications such as in local area networks for its relatively low cost. To be exact, Twinax SFP+ is a copper 10 Gigabit Ethernet cable which comes in Twinax cable assembly and connects directly into an SFP+ housing.
You must know that Twinax cable has two different types, active Twinax and passive Twinax, whose classification normally depends on Twinax cable length.
Generally, Twinax cables shorter than 7 meters are passive and those longer than 7 meters are active, but this may vary from vendor to vendor.
An active Twinax has active electronic components carrying a 10 Gig Ethernet signal over long lengths in the SFP+ housing to improve the signal quality; a passive Twinax is mainly just a straight "wire" and contains few components. Therefore, active Twinax cables are a litter more expensive than passive Twinax cables.
Normally, when choosing cables for network connecting, Twinax and fiber cable are two major considerations. However, which one is a better choice? Read on and find out the answer.
Twinax cable is a lower cost alternative to traditional fiber and twisted pair copper cabling in data center applications when you include switch, NIC and cable. Typically, we see Twinax being used between the server and the Top of Rack (ToR) switch. The advantage in this configuration is that the Twinax connection is much cheaper than a fiber optical cable. The disadvantage is that you are limited in distance and you may have some cable interoperability issues to deal with, which fiber cables won't.
Nevertheless, if you want to create an ideal short distance connection scheme using Cisco 10GbE SFP+, Twinax cable Cisco is a better choice.
From all the above, you will see that Twinax cable is divided into two types, namely, passive and active cable according to Twinax cable length. It is an ideal 10GbE solution used to integrate storage and data networks for servers connected to Top of Rack switches. It has low power consumption and higher reliability. Passive Twinax is recommended when the transmission distance is no more than 7m and active cable is suitable when the distance is over 7m.

Top 10 Things The Terminator Franchise Has Taught Us About Life
by Warren Cantrell on June 30, 2015
The world is having a fun time rebooting the 1990s by all accounts, for there's a Clinton and a Bush running for President, a Jurassic Park movie is #1 at the box office, and now we've got a sequel to Terminator 2:Judgment Day. For those of us who lived through the early 90s, this seems like a strange case of déjà vu, yet (amazingly) it is all entirely real. Indeed, we have indeed lived through all this before, and as a result, we are able to predict with some degree of certainty what will happen in many of these re-imagined scenarios. Indeed, a Clinton always beats a Bush, dinosaur amusement parks invariably lead to death and destruction, and when doing business with a Terminator… well, there are a few hard-and-fast givens.
Today's list is an exploration of all the known truths of the Terminator universe, for while the quality of each installment has varied over the years, certain commonalities have not. Only time will tell if this week's franchise reboot adheres to the familiar points listed below, yet if the last two woeful installments didn't totally ruin the formula, it's hard to imagine how Terminator: Genisys could. One quick point of clarification before we kick things off: today's list limited its consideration of the facts at hand to the four official Terminator motion pictures released up to this point, and did not consider evidence from the television series (The Sarah Connor Chronicles). Today's list is a movie-themed one, and although the Terminator TV show did conform to many of the life lessons listed below, notably our first point listed at #10, we had to keep it cinema-based so as not to confuse the readers who didn't watch the show in its entirety (and by the ratings and show cancellation, that would be the majority of you)…
10. It Sucks to Be a Connor: In Any Time, Place, or Universe
In a future where there's a war between humanity and deadly, sentient A.I. enemies, having the last name "Connor" is one hell of a liability. This was made abundantly clear in Terminator: Salvation, where it was revealed that Skynet hatched a complex plan to lure John Connor into a trap via Marcus (Sam Worthington), who represented the evil machines' fourth attempt to kill mankind's savior. Terminator 3 was nothing more than another attempt to go back in time using an even more advanced model of killer to assassinate J-Con (Nick Stahl) years after his mother had died, so again, the notion that being a Connor blows holds. The fact that the third installment came after the passing of momma bear was important, for Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) was a battle-tested, no-bullshit warrior who was a match for the very best that the future could send at her.
This was proven fairly definitively in Terminator 2, when John (Edward Furlong) insisted that his mother be sprung from the looney-bin so as to help out on the mission. For a pre-teen punk with little more than a dirt bike and a barrel full of attitude, the kid at least had sense enough to realize that having another Connor on Team Humanity was a wise thing, yet demonstrated that there's no rest for a Connor in the world. Whether it is in the looney bin, working as a waitress, robbing ATM's while bouncing between foster homes, leading the human resistance in the future, or living off the grid and on the good graces of veterinary clinics: the family name catches up to these people. That might not seem fair, and that's because it simply isn't. But hey, despite what Sarah Connor says, this next life lesson more or less illustrates the family motto of the Connor Clan…
9. The Future Is Totally Written
Judgment Day is coming, bitches: just accept it. Terminator: Salvation more or less gave up on that point, and set itself in the fucked up future where Skynet had already become self-aware, and launched its assault on humanity; yet the first three movies toyed around with the idea that the apocalypse might be avoided. Indeed, in the first installment, there was some hope, fleeting perhaps, that the events of the film might have been enough to provide Sarah Connor with enough knowledge to prevent Judgment Day.
In Terminator 2, it was revealed that Sarah had been locked up for her efforts to do just that, and artifacts from her first encounter with the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) had actually (somewhat tragically) jump-started the whole end-of-the-world thing. Some damn fine work that included fending off a mad-deadly Terminator upgrade, the T-1000 (Robert Patrick), not to mention taking on an army of cops, delayed the war, yet as Terminator 3 explained, did not prevent it. One way or the other, Skynet was going to come online, and when that happened, humanity set a new standard for our species shitting the bed. Now, some people might call this fatalist line of thinking pessimistic, or even crazy, but remember…
8. You're Not Crazy: THEY'RE Crazy
This is a running joke within the series, and one that gets a lot of well-deserved mileage. Indeed, if someone showed up on the scene and claimed that they were from the future, or otherwise informed from such a person about the coming war between mankind and a militarized internet, they would likely get themselves a one-way ticket to a padded room. This is pretty much what happened to Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) in the original Terminator, for after he was taken in by the cops, he was about one interrogation away from the psych ward when Arnie busted in and interrupted his travel plans.
As mentioned earlier, Sarah Connor was in a mental facility when audiences caught up with her in Terminator 2, and she did little to dissuade people of the pants-crapping-insane diagnosis her doctors had saddled her with. Terminator 3 dabbled in this territory as well, for Dr. Silberman (Earl Boen) made another appearance in that installment, and again reinforced the notion that regular, non-Connor folk just don't have the stomach or psychological wherewithal to handle the Judgment Day truth. Terminator: Salvation also touched on the notion that John Connor wasn't considered 100% mentally trustworthy amongst his peers, despite the fact that he was a second generation Terminator warrior, yet the best of this trope came in the previous installments, where this next franchise generality was proven beyond a reasonable doubt…
7. Arnold Makes Everything Better
This one seems so obvious that it almost feels ridiculous writing it out, yet it's true: Arnold Schwarzenegger makes everything better, Terminator films included. Ever since this magnificent son of a bitch broke onto the scene about 40 years ago, movies and the strong-man hero archetype have never been the same. Sure, there were yoked movie stars before Arnold (Steve Reeves, Johnny Weissmulleur, etc.), and many to follow, yet the Austrian Oak set an all new standard for movie bad-assery. Despite the fact that he was the bad guy, Arnold was the most interesting thing about the first Terminator film, and absolutely ran away with the second picture, which came out during the peak of his popularity.
The third film suffered from a number of unfortunate developments, not the least of which was a failure to keep Arnold front and center for a majority of the flick. To be fair, the guy is getting older, and as time goes on, it's getting harder and harder to explain why a cyborg from the future, part of a specific series of machines cobbled together from scratch, keep aging, yet the fact remains: Arnold makes everything better. Indeed, to leave the man out of a Terminator flick is like going to the carnival with dirty underwear: you can do it, but it won't be pleasant. For more evidence, see Terminator: Salvation (or, don't…you won't be missing much). Still, seeing is believing; say, speaking of which…
6. Never Trust in Just a Voice
Oh man…this one comes up quite a bit in the Terminator universe. Arnold pulled the trick off in the first Terminator, when talking to Sarah Connor as Sarah's mother over the phone (a classic rookie mistake). Sarah would later learn that things aren't always as they seem when talking over the phone, a lesson she obviously didn't share with her son, who nearly fell into the same trap in Terminator 2, when he spoke to his foster parents from a payphone. Luckily for him, Arnold was there to take on John's voice and trick the trickster, a slick move that threw the T-1000 off their trial for a short while.
Perhaps because it is something of a tradition for the franchise now (or because it is a cheap effect to pull off with a little clever dubbing), but this voice-copy move has become a staple of the franchise, and is a frequent tool in every Terminator's (regardless of model) bag of tricks. They're sneaky bastards, Terminators, and pushy to boot. Which brings us to another hard and fast rule as it concerns dealing with the deadly cunts…
5. If a Cyborg From the Future Asks You to do Something, Do It
This might seem obvious, and if people knew exactly who/what they were dealing with when running into a Terminator, they might well comply; yet too often, it's not clear who/what these people are, and mayhem often follows. Young Bill Paxton learned this lesson the hard way in the original Terminator, when Arnie rolled up on Paxton's gang of punks and demanded to have their ringleader's clothes. Paxton didn't fare well in this encounter, just as the biker in #2 didn't when "good-guy" T-800 rolled into his dive bar and demanded his rig and motorcycle. This led to a nasty tussle where the poor biker dude ended up going for a ride from the pool hall into the kitchen, right onto a hot grill, which was actually a decent outcome when considering some of the other instances where people ran afoul of a Terminator looking for a favor.
Consider the helicopter pilot that ran into the T-1000 in Terminator 2, who wisely complied when told to "get out," despite the fact that it meant a leap from a flying helicopter at least 100 feet off the ground. The list goes on and on (remember the big rig driver from #1?), but it should suffice to mention that when put in a spot where a Terminator asks you to do something, one should consider themselves lucky that they were asked at all, and just comply as quickly as possible. Still, if one MUST go up against a Terminator, if one is forced to defy them, it is crucial to remember that…
4. Kill The Fuck Out of Cyborgs, Or They WILL Come Back
This one seems pretty obvious, for we're dealing with sophisticated killing machines from the future, here, yet folks consistently turned their backs on Terminators in the franchise before establishing that they were indeed 100% dead. Nothing that has survived an inter-dimensional time jump should be easy to kill, and true to form, Terminators never are. Arnold was in a truck that exploded in the first Terminator, yet this only served to slow the prick down, not kill him (what's a little skin, anyway?). It took an industrial metal press to put the thing out of commission in #1, and even more muscle to pull off the same trick in #2, where a savage beating at the hands of the T-1000 didn't do the job, despite what Arnie's foe thought (again: rookie mistake).
And speaking of the T-1000, killing that prick was also one hell of a chore. The bastard's liquid-metal composition made him more or less indestructible, for a freezing and blasting didn't put the guy down for any real length of time, and necessitated stronger measures in the form of molten liquid metal. That icy, hand-cannon wielding bitch from #3 was no less trouble, and again proved the point that a Terminator cannot be killed by conventional means, and generally requires at least two or three tries to get the job done properly. Hell, even that chick made the tragic mistake of leaving "good" guy T-800 alive after a virus, which, again, only did about half the job. So, if REALLY serious about taking one of these bastards down, one ought to remember that…
3. Victory Is All About Establishing a Firepower Advantage
In the original Terminator, pretty much the first thing the T-800 did after scoring clothes was to roll a gun shop owner after getting its hands on every slick, big-shit blaster in the house. Near the end of the film, Reese countered with a devastating I.E.D. response, which damn-near did the trick. In #2, Sarah Connor and "good" T-800 were always on the lookout for bigger and better ordinance: a search that culminated in the unearthing of the desert stash. Even the T-800 couldn't help but to express its entire satisfaction with the find when inspecting this gear, which included a mini-gun and a grenade launcher (amongst many other nasty items).
In #3, the film established that Sarah Connor had a coffin filled not with her remains, but rather a motley assortment of high-end, heavy-duty weapons. These were buried instead of her bones, for the woman (correctly) supposed that a gnarly weapons stash in a convenient location was far more useful to her son than a physical reminder of her existence. Hell, even in the woeful fourth installment, Terminator: Salvation, the resistance's headquarters were on a fucking nuclear submarine. It doesn't get much burlier than that. Still, if the Terminator movies have taught us anything, it's that firepower is only half the battle; invariably, when a person realizes they can't brush a Terminator off, they run, and when it comes to running away…
2. Having a Good Wheelman Is Crucial
It's obvious that a salty adulthood dodging and fighting Terminators and Skynet formed the basis for the magnificent wheelman that was Kyle Reese, who went toe-to-toe with Arnie's T-800 on the road on several occasions in #1. These were good showings on Reese's behalf, for he out-drove or otherwise frustrated his cyborg foe on both occasions, which subsequent Terminator installments demonstrated was no small feat. In #2, "good" T-800 proved himself a dynamite wheelman during the psych-ward escape, and later, during the run from Cyberdyne Systems and the T-1000. A fierce chase ensued when John Connor and Kate Brewster (Claire Danes) made a dash to freedom in #3, and Terminator: Salvation felt like one long series of chases (let's just be honest).
In all instances, the fact that a dynamite driver was behind the wheel proved critical, and kept the heroes alive just long enough to get away and fight another day. Hell even young John Connor from #2 was a savage operator on his little dirt bike, and might have perished were he a lesser young man and future hero. Sure, the kid's mom was a warrior, and he had all kinds of help from the future in the form of Terminator helpers, yet the world was after his ass from day one of his conception, and just kept coming back for more time and again. As far as traditional assistance, one thing was for sure: the Connors weren't getting any help from the Fuzz…
1. The Police Are Useless
Let's just be honest, here: the cops don't have the best track record in the Terminator universe. Arnie's T-800 tore through a whole fucking police station in #1, and didn't seem all that scratched up for the trouble. In #2, "good" T-800 took on the full force of a multi-district response, including multiple S.W.A.T. teams, hundreds of uniformed officers, and a chopper. In this instance, yes, Arnie got a little roughed up, yet still, the machine took everything the L.A.P.D. could throw at it, grinned, and more or less asked for seconds. The cops in Terminator 3 didn't fare much better, yet didn't get the same kind of collective ass-whooping that they absorbed in the first two installments.
Naturally, in Terminator: Salvation, there weren't really any cops to speak of, which is saying something all by itself in a subtle sort of way: like, these clowns never could protect us, so look at what happened. Is this a fair assessment? No, probably not. Yet again, if the Terminator movies have taught us nothing else, it's that it takes more than a cop to stop a killer from the future. Indeed, it usually takes another killer…who's a good wheelman, and also appreciates the importance of a good weapons stash, and understands how touchy, hard to kill, and tricky Terminators can be.

FANTASTIC list, Warren. Love it. I was ready to come with you (if I want to live?) at the outset when you gave the news that they are ignoring #s 3 and 4 in this reboot. I thought the third was OK, mostly due to a good performance from Nick Stahl. The fourth was an abomination which left no alternative but to be ignored and wiped from the story's history.
On your #10, also all those random Sarah Connors who met the Terminator first didn't even have anything to do with the future leader of the resistance, only unfortunately sharing his mother's name.
One stray thought: Given that her coffin was filled with weaponry rather than her bones, is there a chance that Sarah Connor was actually still living during the storyline of T3? I had never thought of this until just now, but there could have been a worthwhile twist in there if competent people were manning the tiller.
And just because I'm a Terminator obsessive (who also never watched the TV show like most of humanity), here are my offerings in case you or anyone else has the time and interest:

\section{Introduction}
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have become a frequently used material for spin
dependent transport experiments within the past years. Due to spin
lifetimes of several nanoseconds \cite{alphenaar, Hueso}, CNTs provide excellent
conditions for this kind of investigation \cite{Kontos2005, preusche,
splitkondo, aurich}. Spin injection
requires ferromagnetic contact electrodes to the CNT which provide both spin
polarization and a transparent electric contact. As palladium is known for its
high contact transparency to CNTs \cite{biercuk, Kontos2005, Sahoo2005,
palma, splitkondo}, an alloy of palladium with nickel as ferromagnetic material
was chosen for this study. The electronic properties of pure palladium
\cite{mueller, hodges} and especially the formation of giant magnetic moments in
dilute alloys with small amounts of ferromagnetic elements have been well
studied for
both bulk material and thin films, with respect to Curie points and critical
alloy concentrations for the onset of ferromagnetism \cite{ododo, ododo2,
nieuwenhuys, wollan, loram, arham}.

Objective of this work is the investigation of thin film \ensuremath{\text{Pd}_{0.3} \text{Ni}_{0.7}}\ high aspect
ratio shapes, particularly with regard to to their suitability as ferromagnetic
contact electrodes for CNT devices. While the similar alloy
$\text{Pd}_{1-x} \text{Fe}_{x}$ is governed by shape anisotropy \cite{preusche,
silvia, ododo, ododo2, ododo3}, this finding is not transferable to
$\text{Pd}_{1-x} \text{Ni}_{x}$ due to
the significantly different crystal structures of nickel and iron and the
differring ferromagnet concentrations in the experiments.\cite{chauleau}

We use \ensuremath{\text{Pd}_{0.3} \text{Ni}_{0.7}}\ strips at widths of $250\un{nm}$ --- $1500\un{nm}$, maintaining a
constant length of $5\,\mu\text{m}$ and metal film thickness of $50\un{nm}$. All
samples were fabricated on a boron doped, p++ type $\text{Si}$ substrate with
thermally grown $\text{SiO}_2$ surface oxide, and structured via electron beam
lithography and lift-off process using a polymethyl methacrylate two layer
resist. The deposition of the thin films was done by electron beam evaporation
from pre-mixed bulk material in an UHV evaporation system with a base pressure
of $4 \times 10^{-8}\un{mbar}$.
\begin{figure}[th]
\includegraphics[width=6cm]{figure1}
\caption{(Color online) Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of a
contacted \ensuremath{\text{Pd}_{0.3} \text{Ni}_{0.7}}\ strip (colorized in red). The four contact leads
(colorized blue) were evaporated in a second step from pure palladium. They
provide the possibility to perform four terminal resistance measurements. The
arrows indicate the three tested orientations of the external magnetic field
relative to the strip, namely black (L): longitudinal, red (P): perpendicular,
and green (T): transverse.}
\label{rem}
\end{figure}
Figure \ref{rem} displays such a strip pattern, in this particular case
with leads attached in a second lithography step for magnetoresistance
measurements. It also introduces the characteristic directions for all the
magnetic field orientations used in this manuscript, i.e., perpendicular (P),
transverse (T), and longitudinal (L) with respect to the $\text{Pd}_{0.3}
\text{Ni}_{0.7}$ strip.

\section{SQUID magnetization measurements}
Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetization measurements
using a commercial magnetometer have been used to characterize the

Fig.~\ref{squid} displays the magnetization curves of an array of $250\un{nm}$
wide strips for two different temperatures after subtraction of the diamagnetic and paramagnetic moments of the boron doped Si substrate, the latter showing a strongly field-dependent susceptibility at low temperature which was fitted with a Brillouin function.
The total magnetic moment of the sample at T = 300K is $M_{\text{tot}} = 3.7 \times 10^{-5}\un{Gcm}^3$ (see Fig.~\ref{squid}(a)), from which an average magnetic moment of $\overline{\mu} = 0.583 \mu_B$ per alloy atom can be calculated. This value is comparable to previous results
for bulk \ensuremath{\text{Pd}_{0.3} \text{Ni}_{0.7}}, where also the Curie temperature of this material
has been characterized (\un{$T_C$} $\approx 532$K).\cite{ododo,ododo2}
Figures~\ref{squid}(a-b) show magnetization loops in a transverse (T) and longitudinal (L) external field at $T=300\un{K}$
and $T=2\un{K}$, while Figures~\ref{squid}(c-d) zoom in onto the range
$-0.4\un{T} \leq \mu_{0} H \leq 0.4\un{T}$.
The higher field required for saturation and the larger coercive field values observed at low temperature can be explained by the absence of thermally activated motion of domain walls. Saturation is reached at lower external fields for the transverse orientation of external magnetic field. Also the remanent magnetization in transverse direction is significantly higher than in longitudinal orientation. These observations indicate an initially unexpected magnetic anisotropy with the easy axis along the transverse direction (T).

Concerning the details of the magnetization curves, the remanent magnetization in (T) direction is not 100\% as expected for an easy axis. This can be explained by the strong demagnetizing field connected with the magnetization pointing perpendicular to the edge of the sample. This is expected to cause some reversed domains as indicated by MFM images discussed below (Fig. \ref{mfm}(b)). Furthermore, to avoid a large related magnetostatic energy the magnetization will rotate towards the (L) direction close to the lateral edges. Hence, the resulting average transverse magnetization component decreases with decreasing strip width and becomes substantially reduced for sub-micrometer dimensions.
On the other hand, the remanence in the (L) direction is not zero as would be expected for a uniaxial hard axis. This is presumably a result of the domain splitting in the remanent state after saturation along the hard axis, which is confirmed by the MFM images shown in Fig. \ref{mfm}(a) (see below). For small domains with a width below 300 nm as deduced from Fig. \ref{mfm}(a) the magnetization inside and in the vicinity of the Néel type domain walls will have a substantial component perpendicular to the wall, i.e. along the (L) direction, which shows up as the longitudinal remanence.

\section{Magnetotransport}

To obtain further information on the direction of spontaneous magnetization
and the switching behaviour of single contact electrodes, the anisotropic
magnetoresistance (AMR) of individually contacted \ensuremath{\text{Pd}_{0.3} \text{Ni}_{0.7}}\ strips was measured. As
with the samples for the SQUID measurements, the strips were fabricated via
electron beam lithography and lift-off process on identical $\text{Si} /
\text{SiO}_2$ substrate material. The non-magnetic palladium leads (see
Fig.~\ref{rem}) were deposited using a second electron beam lithography and
evaporation step. The resistance of a ferromagnetic strip is generally higher
when the
current through the strip is aligned parallel to the magnetization vector of the
structure ($\vec{\text{J}}\parallel\vec{\text{M}}$) than in the perpendicular
case ($\vec{\text{J}}\perp\vec{\text{M}}$).\cite{footnote1}$^,$\cite{mcguire,
gonzalez, senoussi} Transport measurements were performed at
$T=4.2\un{K}$, applying a maximum external magnetic field of $\mu_0
H_{\text{max}}$=$\pm 925\un{mT}$ successively in different orientations relative
to the strip. The resistance measurement itself was carried out using a
four-terminal setup and lock-in technique.

\begin{figure}[th]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=8.5cm]{figure3}
\end{center}
\caption{(Color online) Anisotropic magnetoresistance $\Delta R = (R(\mu_0 H) -
R_{\un{max}}) / R_{\un{max}}$ of an individually contacted, $500\un{nm}$ wide
\ensuremath{\text{Pd}_{0.3} \text{Ni}_{0.7}}\ strip. The three panels represent the relative orientiation of the
magnetic field according to Fig.~\ref{rem}, i.e. longitudinal (L, black),
perpendicular (P, red) and transverse (T, green). The dashed traces show the
magnetic field up-sweep, while the continuous traces show the down-sweep
measurement. All three panels have identical scaling of both axes. The inset shows a polar plot of the AMR at constant magnetic field $\left|\mu_0H\right| = 1\un{T}$ and reveals a small misalignment of $\Delta \phi \approx 7^{\circ}$
}
\label{amr}
\end{figure}
Fig.~\ref{amr} shows the relative change of resistance $\Delta R = (R(\mu_0 H) - R_{\un{max}}) /
R_{\un{max}}$, in dependence on the external magnetic field $\mu_0 H$, for a strip width of $500\un{nm}$.
The three panels correspond to the three field orientations as sketched in Fig.~\ref{rem}. The largest increase
of resistance occurs when applying the field in longitudinal (L) direction. This
means that a large part of the magnetization was oriented away from this
direction and had to be aligned parallel to the strip by the external magnetic field.
In perpendicular (P) direction we observe a decrease of the resistance with increasing perpendicular field, i.e. with the alignment of the magnetization perpendicular to the film plane and the in-plane current.
This means that the magnetization must have a longitudinal component in the remanent state.
In transverse (T) direction a small but finite increase of resistance appears with increasing field.
This is explained by a misalignment of the external field by $\un{7}^{\circ}$  relative to the (T) axis which was verified by measuring the angular variation of the magnetoresistance in a constant field of $\mu_0 H$ = 1 T (see inset of Fig. \ref{amr}).
A consistent interpretation of all three magnetoresistance curves in agreement with the
SQUID magnetization curves is obtained by assuming that after saturation along a hard
axis, i.e. either along an (L) or a (P) direction the magnetization is split into domains, as seen in Fig. \ref{mfm}(a), with
a small M component along (L) due to Néel type domain walls and close to the long edge of the strip.
The presence of domain walls in the remanent state is also responsible for the very similar hysteretic behaviour of the magnetization loops (Fig. \ref{squid}) and the magnetoresistance curves (Fig. \ref{amr}) along the (L) axis.

The distinct reduction of the remanence along the T axis below 100\% due to the formation of some reversed domains (see Fig. \ref{mfm}(b)) has practiclly no effect on the magnetoresistance because the AMR scales with $\delta R \propto cos^2 (\alpha)$ while the magnetometer measures the parallel component of the average magnetization $\un{M}_{\parallel} \propto cos(\alpha)$ where $\alpha$ is the angle between the (T) axis and the domain magnetization.

As result we can conjecture that the spontaneous magnetization of the strips is
oriented mainly transverse to the the strips' long axis. The small amount of change in
resistance in a magnetic field along the transverse (T) direction means that the
majority of magnetic moments already was aligned in this direction before the
field was applied. The minima respectively maxima of the
magnetoresistance curves show hysteretic behaviour and are mirrored according
to the sweep direction of the external field.

\section{Magnetic Force Microscopy}

Finally, magnetic force microscopy (MFM) on a strip array directly reveals the
remanent micromagnetic configuration within narrow strips (width 500nm) of
\ensuremath{\text{Pd}_{0.3} \text{Ni}_{0.7}}. Fig.~\ref{mfm} displays magnetic force microscopy (MFM) images of an
ensemble of contact strips. The MFM pictures were taken at room temperature and
zero external magnetic field; the scanning direction was longitudinal to the
strips (L). Prior to imaging, the sample was magnetized along the longitudinal
(L) (Fig.~\ref{mfm}(a)) or transverse (T) direction (Fig.~\ref{mfm}(b)) by an
external field of $\mu_{0}H=2\un{T}$ to ensure magnetic saturation.

\begin{figure}[th]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=8.5cm]{figure4}
\end{center}
\caption{(Color online) Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) images of the remanent
magnetization of an ensemble of 500nm wide \ensuremath{\text{Pd}_{0.3} \text{Ni}_{0.7}}\ strips.
Before recording the image, the strips have been magnetized along the directions
indicated by the arrows, i.e. (a) in longitudinal (L), and (b) in transverse (T)
direction. The inset in (b) shows the surface topography of the region in the
white dashed square}
\label{mfm}
\end{figure}
The pattern in Fig.~\ref{mfm}(a), where the sample was previously magnetized in
longitudinal (L) direction, features alternating domain alignment along the
transverse (T) direction. This is consistent with a spontaneous magnetization in
transverse (T) axis, as inferred from the SQUID and AMR measurements.
This splitting in small domains in the remanent state also causes the non-zero remanence in the (L)
direction observed in the SQUID data (see Fig. \ref{squid}) as explained before.
In Fig.~\ref{mfm}(b), after magnetizing in (T) direction the magnetization structure in this direction is considerably more uniform. The strips feature large domains with transverse (T) magnetization
direction. The remaining disintegration into domains in certain areas may be
caused by, e.g.,  edge roughness of the strips, supported by thermal activated
processes at room temperature: in the inset of Fig.~\ref{mfm}(b), showing the
surface topography of the region marked by a white dashed square in the MFM picture,
several magnetic features re-appear as height profile irregularities.
Altogether, MFM imaging again confirms the findings of an easy axis along the
transverse (T) direction.

\section{Discussion}
A possible explanation for the transverse magnetic easy axis is the effect of
inverse magnetostriction \cite{chikazumi}. While many mechanisms can contribute
local stress during fabrication of the strips, it is already instructive to
look at the highly different thermal expansion coefficients $\alpha$ of the
thin film metal ($\alpha_{\text{Pd}} \approx 11.8 \times 10^{-6} \un{K}^{-1}$,
$\alpha_{\text{Ni}} \approx 13.4 \times 10^{-6} \un{K}^{-1}$) and the substrate
material used in this study ($\alpha_{\text{Si}} \approx 2.6 \times 10^{-6}
\un{K}^{-1}$). Considering a temperature higher than room temperature during
the thin film evaporation process of PdNi, tensile stress is imprinted on the
metal layer when the sample is cooled down. At the edges of the strips, this
stress can relax. If the strip is sufficiently narrow the relaxation of
transversal stress takes place across the entire strip. Assuming a similar
behaviour of \ensuremath{\text{Pd}_{0.3} \text{Ni}_{0.7}}\ and pure nickel (due to the high amount of nickel in our
alloy and the same crystal structure (fcc) of both elements), the magnetic
moments in the strip then align orthogonal to the remaining longitudinal stress,
i.e.\ in the transversal (T) direction, as the magnetostriction coefficient of
nickel is negative for both (100) and (111) direction\citep{chikazumi}.

\section{Conclusions}
As a conclusion, our work confirms in all aspects that the magnetic preferential
direction of high aspect ratio \ensuremath{\text{Pd}_{0.3} \text{Ni}_{0.7}}\ thin film contact strips feature a magnetically easy axis transverse
to the strip orientation. This can be explained by the effect of
magneto-elastic coupling. It dominates other mechanisms as e.g.\ shape
anisotropy, which would favour a magnetically easy axis longitudinal to the
strip orientation. For
application of our investigated contact strips in CNT based spin devices it is
therefore recommended to apply external magnetic fields in transverse direction
in order to obtain a more distinct switching behaviour. Our results are well
compatible with those of the complementary study by Chaleau et al.
\citep{chauleau}, who did extensive micromagnetic simulations and investigated
the remanent magnetization direction using XMCD experiments.

As the summer season approaches we are often asked about what type of dog bed people should buy to take with them in their caravan. There really are so many different options. The first thing to think about is how comfortable is your dog whilst travelling to your destination in the car? People often have bespoke mattress dog beds made for their boot of the car. These are great and can be moulded around wheel arches for it the perfect fit. There is also a wide range of optional dog bed covers you can add to your bespoke bed for added comfort. In this picture we have a Fluffy Tuffie cover in grey.
The other option for a travel dog bed is the Puppy Tuffie/ Travel Tuffie. These can be laid out in your car boot or travelling space for your dog. It consists of a thin mat made of durasoft material and is covered with a luxury fleece top and nylon backing. The Travel Tuffie can also be poppered together if needed for a smaller space. The Travel Tuffie is also a great dog bed to take to the beach or for your dog laying out on the grass.
Once you get to your destination it's time to decide which dog bed is best for inside the caravan or in the awning? Depending on the size of your caravan and the time of year there are a couple of options. In summer months when the caravan and awning can be stiflingly hot people may tend to go for a Wipe Clean Mattress Dog Bed. These are very easy to maintain as they are 100% waterproof and if they get muddy the dirt can just be brushed off and it is very easy just to wipe down with a cloth or towel if the get wet. And because they are a futon type mattress the dogs are not overly warm or enclosed. Also available for the mattress dog beds are a range of 100% cotton covers with will keep your dog cool.
If you are holidaying in early Spring or Autumn months when the weather can be cooler and certainly in the UK very unpredictable, people tend to opt for a Wipe clean Tuffies Nest Dog Bed. When the weather is not so good this is definitely the dog bed to go for. Having high sides all the way around your dog can go in to his nest and snuggle up cosy on a cold british night excluded from any draughts. The nests have a futon type mattress cushion under them which is approx 4″ thick and encased in a waterproof fabric cover and they come as standard with a luxury fleece cover to keep warm. Nests at Tuffies can also be dressed with different accompanying products such as the Nest Sock which will turn your dog bed in to a real den or a Complete Nest Cover which will make your nest ridiculously snug and cosy.
Every morning, the first thing i do when i get up is to go into my kitchen and greet my dogs. They all sleep in seperate crates with bespoke Tuffie mattress beds an..

«Штиль» — российская ракета-носитель, созданная на базе баллистической ракеты подводных лодок (БРПЛ) Р-29РМ (РСМ-54).
Генеральный конструктор — И. И. Величко, главный конструктор — Ю. А. Каверин.
Комплекс создан на базе серийной морской баллистической ракеты в рамках работ по конверсии, при этом в отличие от ракеты «Штиль-2» предусмотрена более глубокая модернизация с новой последней ступенью.

Начало эксплуатации ракетного комплекса — 1998 год. Статус: в разработке, проект активен.

Разработаны 3 модификации:

«Штиль-1» — представляет собой серийную ракету Р-29РМ (РСМ-54) (ракета имеет три ступени и работает на высококипящих компонентах топлива (НДМГ + АТ)) с дополнительно установленной телеметрической аппаратурой. Полезная нагрузка объёмом до 0,183 м³ размещается в штатном отсеке ракеты. Пуск проводится из шахты подводной лодки из подводного положения. «Штиль-1» позволяет вывести на круговую орбиту высотой 400 км и наклонением 79° полезный груз массой 70 кг.

Первый в мире запуск спутника с борта подводной лодки состоялся 7 июля 1998: ракета «Штиль-1», запущенная с АПЛ К-407 «Новомосковск», вывела на околоземную орбиту два немецких спутника — Tubsat-N и Tubsat-N1.

«Штиль-2» — второй этап модернизации ракеты. Для размещения полезной нагрузки спроектирован специальный отсек объёмом 1,87 м³, закрытый аэродинамическим обтекателем. Запуск ракеты производится с наземного стартового комплекса или из шахты подводной лодки в надводном положении. Стоимость пуска — 4—5 млн долл.

В 2009 году, по итогам всероссийского конкурса «100 лучших товаров России», ракета-носитель «Штиль» удостоена почётного статуса «Гордость Отечества».

«Штиль-3А» — третий этап модернизации ракеты. Воздушный старт: ракета дислоцируется на пусковой платформе в грузовом отсеке транспортного самолёта Ан-124АРКК или Ил-76МД в горизонтальном положении. Сброс ракеты с носителя производится на высоте 10-12 км при скорости самолёта 760—800 км/ч. При старте ракета с пусковой платформой вытягивается из самолёта специальной парашютной системой, после чего на заданной высоте она отделяется от платформы и запускается двигатель 1-й ступени. Для взлёта самолёта-носителя необходим аэродром первого класса или внеклассный. Запуск РН может производится на удалении около 4000 км от аэродрома старта.

Список запусков

Yokohama Triennale 2017
4 Aug — 5 Nov 2017 at the Yokohama Museum of Art in Kanagawa, Japan
Tuan Andrew Nguyen, The Island, 2017.
Yokohama Triennale 2017 "Islands, Constellations & Galapagos," opening to the public on August 4, will feature large-scale installations inside and outside of Yokohama Museum of Art, works revisiting Yokohama and its history as one of the first ports that opened to foreign countries, and those by young international artists to be premiered in Japan.
Ai Weiwei consistently produces work that relates to his own social context and pushes his activities toward expanding the conceptual boundaries of art. For Yokohama Triennale 2017, he presents a largescale installation addressing the ongoing refugee crisis, with lifeboats hanging on the façade and recovered lifejackets covering the columns of Yokohama Museum of Art.
Meanwhile, inside the museum in the Grand Gallery, Joko Avianto's dynamic new work is a structure inspired by the traditional Japanese braided rope called a shimenawa, woven with distinctive techniques from 2,000 shoots of Indonesian bamboo. Bamboo has long been popular in Indonesia as a material for houses and daily necessities, and through this work, Avianto explores the loss of traditional culture in his country and symbiosis between human beings and nature.
Yokohama Triennale 2017 features works of art dealing with Yokohama's history and role as one of the starting points of Japan's modernization. At Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse No. 1, an important piece of the city's historical heritage, Ozawa Tsuyoshi exhibits a new work from his "The Return of …" Series illustrating the overseas activities of historical figures. It traces the activities of a Yokohama-born art historian and philosopher legendary for his trailblazing ideas and writings during the Meiji Era (1868-1912).
Christian Jankowski, known for video works brimming with both humor and pathos, shows a new piece in which a massage therapist diagnoses and works on Yokohama public sculptures to improve Japan's flow of chi ahead of the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.
Zhao Zhao and Ian Cheng are two young artists that have emerged remarkably in recent years, and whose work will be featured in a major Japanese exhibition for the first time. In the video Project Taklamakan, Zhao carries a refrigerator out into the Taklamakan Desert, his homeland and the site of frequent ethnic conflicts, connects it to power cables, and drinks cold beer. With humor and a magnificent sense of scale, he sheds a light on the history of Silk Road transmitting and exchanging goods, people, and cultures, as well as its current isolated state.
Meanwhile, Ian Cheng presents Emissary Forks At Perfection, a video about cognitive evolution in a closed and monitored world. Game programming is used to simulate various situations in real time, and Shiba dogs acting as divine emissaries repeatedly collide and evolve on the screen as an unpredictable story unfolds.
Yokohama Museum of Art
It is one of the largest art institutions in Japan. With its iconic architecture, featuring the expansive space of the Grand Gallery, the museum is made up of a total of seven gallery spaces, as well as an Art Information and Media Center that holds over 110,000 art-related books, ateliers hosting a wide range of workshops for children and adults, and many other facilities.

An awesome soft-mid flex twin board that shreds street rails, park rails and jib lines but is stable enough to stick a kicker landing. Built to give precise responsiveness, snappy pop and a great feel, it destroys the whole park!
We developed our Park 3BT to be playful yet stable with a wide centerbase, slight camber and true twin shape to perform in terrain parks around the globe. The edge uplift areas start mid-binding and extend toward the tips for a loose feel with less bite. The wide centerbase on the other hand helps with stability off lips, on landings, in presses and at high speeds.

In fact, limited research has examined exactly how inactive people perceive HIIT—which consists of multiple short bouts of intense exercise, says Matthew Stork, a Ph.D. candidate in the school of Health and Exercise Sciences at UBC's Okanagan campus. Stork recently completed a study comparing inactive people's feelings and enjoyment of HIIT to traditional long-duration aerobic exercise. He found that inactive people who tried the high intensity exercise for the first time found it just as enjoyable as traditional exercise.
Stork's study was recently published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.

The trend for ditching meat, or at least eating less of it, has been bubbling away for a while, and last year saw vegan cuisine go mainstream in Britain as the supermarkets broadened their ranges with vegan-friendly products, while vegan restaurants like American export By Chloé opened in London's Covent Garden.
Though vegan fast food joint Temple of Seitan in Shoreditch proved that meat free food needn't always be virtuous, as did Gizzi Erskine's vegan pop-up Pure Filth at the Tate Modern.
This year we'll see the non meat trend go to the next level as scientists get ever closer to replicating the smell, taste and texture of meat in a lab. Whether vegans and veggies actually want 'motherless' beef burgers that bleed like real ones remains to be seen – I'm not convinced.
Perhaps the real target market is meat eaters seeking to lessen the amount they consume without having to compromise on taste and flavour. Nasa pioneered the idea of lab-grown meat in the early 2000s, but the challenge ever since has been recreating meat's complex combination of muscle and fat tissue in a petri dish.
In 2013 Dutch scientists successfully made a burger from stem cells extracted from a cow's neck, at the astronomical cost of €250,000. Over the last five years the cost of production has dropped dramatically. In December, Israel-based Aleph Farms unveiled the first steak grown in a lab, which cost just £40 to produce.
With the boffins branching out into pork, chicken and even foie gras, we can expect to see some of these 'cultured' meats making their way on to menus in the not too distant future.


In the match 11 of VIVO Indian Premier League 2019 (IPL 2019) Sunrisers Hyderabad will host Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday. RCB had a dismal start with the team managing just 70 runs in their opening match against M S Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings, while victory just slipped out of their hands in their second match against Mumbai Indians. RCB is yet to win a match in this edition of the tournament. On the other hand, SRH bounced back against Rajasthan Royals after KKR defeated in their first match. Kane Williamson is back in Hyderabad side and David Warner looks dangerous than ever, hence, a strong show looks likely as the two teams collide.
The might of RCB's batting line-up, including the likes of AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli, will be tested against the magical spin of Rashid Khan and accuracy of Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
With the inclusion of captain Kane Williamson, SRH is stronger than ever, his absence was felt in SRH's first match as the team lost the match against KKR. In their second match, Kane Williamson held the charge but the highlight was David Warner's quick 69 runs off 37 balls. Jonny Bairstow is in form too and Vijay Shankar is not just bowling well, he is contributing with the bat too which was seen in their last match as he played a perfect cameo, hitting 35 off just 16 balls.
SRH will also have the advantage of home ground and RCB, after losing two matches, would find it difficult to challenge Hyderabad in their turf.
RCB miserably lost the first match against CSK but the team showed signs of a fight in the second match against Mumbai Indians, however, they were just unlucky as the umpire did not signal the no-ball as Lasith Malinga bowled the very last ball of the match when RCB needed 7 runs.
Virat Kohli faces a tough challenge as despite after a good batting show by his team, the bowling side lacks flair. Yuzvendra Chahal is still an exception as he scalped four wickets against Mumbai but the pace-battery that includes Umesh Yadav, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj and Colin de Grandhomme leaking too many runs.
RCB playing 11: Parthiv Patel (wk), Virat Kohli, Moeen Ali, AB de Villiers, Shimron Hetmyer, Shivam Dube, Colin de Grandhomme, Navdeep Saini/ Washigton Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Umesh Yadav, Mohammad Siraj.
SRH vs RCB match live streaming will be available live on Star Sports 1 HD, Star Sports 1 in English Commentary and Star Gold in Hindi Commentary. One can also live stream the SRH vs RCB match on Hotstar app and website.
SRH squad: David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, Manish Pandey, Deepak Hooda, Shakib Al Hasan, Vijay Shankar, Yusuf Pathan, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, Siddarth Kaul, Kane Williamson, Martin Guptill, Ricky Bhui, Shreevats Goswami, Wriddhiman Saha, Shahbaz Nadeem, Mohammad Nabi, Abhishek Sharma, Basil Thampi, Billy Stanlake, K. Khaleel Ahmed, T. Natarajan.
RCB Squad: Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Parthiv Patel, Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer, Shivam Dube, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Washington Sundar, Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Siraj, Heinrich Klaasen, Moeen Ali, Colin de Grandhomme, Pawan Negi, Tim Southee, Akshdeep Nath, Milind Kumar, Devdutt Padikkal, Gurkeerat Singh, Prayas Ray Barman, Kulwant Kejroliya, Navdeep Saini, Himmat Singh.


Explanation: Why is the image of Cassiopeia A changing? Two images of the nearby supernova remnant taken a year apart in infrared light appear to show outward motions at tremendous speeds. This was unexpected since the supernova that created the picturesque nebula was seen 325 years ago. The reason is likely light echoes. Light from the supernova heated up distant ambient dust that is just beginning to show its glow. As time goes by, more distant dust lights up, giving the appearance of outward motion. The above image is a composite of X-ray, optical, and infrared light exposures that have been digitally combined. The infrared light image was taken by the orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope and was used in the discovery of the light echo. The portion of Cassiopeia A shown spans about 15 light years and lies 10,000 light years away toward the constellation of Cassiopeia.

AFLW 2019: What we learned
The AFLW wrapped up last month when Adelaide soundly defeated Carlton to secure their second premiership. In its third season, the AFLW grew to ten teams and audiences, skills, and scores were on the up. Here's four things we learned from AFLW 2019.
Erin Phillips in action. Img: AFL
1. Erin Phillips is the GOAT
Okay, maybe we already knew this one. After picking up just about every award in the AFLW's inaugural season, Erin Phillips returned from a injury-riddled 2018 to take the clean sweep of trophies again this year: premiership captain; best on ground in the grand final; AFLW best and fairest; AFLW Players' MVP; and All-Australian captain.
The former WNBA champ was also responsible for two of the most poignant moments in the season. With her team comfortably ahead in the third quarter of the grand final, Phillips went down with an ACL injury. As she was stretchered off the field, players of both teams came over in droves to wish her well, showing the hugely high respect in which Phillips is held.
And how about that speech as she accepted her second league best and fairest award?
"'I am one of three girls. My dad played footy and when I was born people felt sorry for him because he didn't have a son to play footy some day and carry the Phillips name. Dad, I know you're watching and Mum, I hope I've made you proud… and we can stick it up those people who said that to you."
2. Women's footy pulls the crowds
We already knew this too, but the massive scale of the crowd at Adelaide Oval on 31 March is testament to the strength of the AFLW and the fact that the AFL's continued reluctance to charge for entry to matches is a missed opportunity.
53,034 people witnessed the home team race away to their second premiership in three years. It was the biggest crowd ever at a women's sporting event in Australia. Organisers were left so unprepared that it took until almost half time to get spectators in to the ground and most of them without a footy Record in hand after the match programme sold out early in the day. By contrast, fewer than 20,000 turned up to see Brisbane play last year's premiers, West Coast, in the opening round of the men's league.

3. The conference system was a failed experiment
While there were improvements to the format of the league this year with the advent of the first finals series, the introduction of the conference system was an unmitigated and widely-acknowledged flop. Some teams never faced off, and Conference A was much stronger than Conference B - meaning teams in the latter qualified for finals while teams in Conference A, with far superior records, didn't.
Yet, despite its obvious failings, the AFL Women's Competition Committee recommended this week that the conference system be used again next season. Players and fans alike will be hoping that the AFL Commission has another look before taking this controversial recommendation on board.
4. The AFL can't have it both ways
In 2019, the AFL again decided to shoehorn the women's season between the Australian Open and the men's footy season. According to administrators, the decision to keep the AFLW to just eight weeks and force athletes to ply their craft in the hottest part of the year was for the benefit of the league - to give it an opportunity to gain audiences without competing against other popular sporting events. Yet, at the same time, the AFL persisted with the perennially unpopular AFLX which they promoted to within an inch of its hugely contrived life in the middle of the women's season. They also let the final two weeks of the season overlap with the start of the men's - meaning women's matches were demoted to less popular TV channels.
If the AFL is serious about promoting the AFLW, it needs to listen to the players and get serious about the length of the season. We know from the crowds and TV audiences this year that the AFLW can compete with other codes. A season in which teams play each other once, in conjunction with fair pay for the players, club staff, and officials, is the next step the league needs. It will make life easier for players struggling to balance full-time work with semi-professional sport and will result in better quality footy on the park.
