The Puget Sound region of Washington state was jolted from its morning routine at 10:55 a.m. on Wednesday, February 28 by an magnitude 6.8 earthquake. In Seattle, Tacoma, and communities across the region, the ground shook for up to 40 seconds, rattling buildings and sending some occupants into a panic. A major earthquake had struck the area, centered just 18 kilometers (11 miles) northeast of Olympia, where the state capitol building sustained notable structural damage.
Soon after the shaking stopped, it became clear that the damage was less than might have been expected from an earthquake of this magnitude if it had occurred in a similarly populated region of southern California. This event, named the Nisqually earthquake for a river delta near its epicenter at the southern end of Puget Sound, was actually slightly larger than the Northridge earthquake. Yet Northridge, which had a magnitude 6.7, was the costliest disaster in U.S. history with an economic loss of $40 billion. Based on preliminary reports, it appears that the loss in the Nisqually earthquake will total only $2 billion. Likewise, only one death, a heart attack victim, was reported in the Seattle area, while 57 people lost their lives in the Northridge earthquake. Was this because the Seattle area was better prepared for earthquakes than the Los Angeles area? Or was it due to differences in the earthquakes themselves?
Much of the difference in the total damage caused by the Nisqually and the Northridge earthquakes can be attributed to the Nisqually earthquake's location -- not that of its epicenter, but rather, the depth of its hypocenter. The Northridge earthquake had a hypocentral depth of 18 kilometers (11 miles), deep for a California earthquake, but considered shallow compared to other regions. The Nisqually earthquake had a depth of some 52 kilometers (33 miles), meaning that no building experienced greater shaking than would be expected at a distance of 52 kilometers from a magnitude 6.8 earthquake. That may seem to be an obvious statement, but earthquake depth is often entirely overlooked in reports of an earthquake's effects; conversely, no one would be surprised if it were reported that a town at a distance of 18 kilometers from an earthquake's epicenter suffered greater losses than one located 52 kilometers away from the epicenter.
The fact that western Washington state can experience such deep earthquakes, while southern California cannot, is the direct result of the tectonic environment found in each region. The sense of fault slip for the Nisqually earthquake was what geologists call "normal," meaning that the ground above the tilted fault plane moved downward relative to the material beneath the plane. This type of motion is typically found in extensional tectonic environments -- places where the crust is being stretched and pulled apart. That may seem out of place in the Pacific Northwest, where the oceanic Juan de Fuca plate subducts beneath the continental North American plate, but that collision of plates creates the bending stresses necessary to cause extension within the Juan de Fuca plate, where the Nisqually earthquake occurred.
Ground-motion data from seismometers across Washington state were processed by the U.S. Geological Survey to create a shaking intensity map (ShakeMap). This map is compared in the figure on the right with a similar map from the Northridge earthquake. One can see that the total area of potentially damaging shaking (yellow and warmer colors) was fairly similar for the two events, but the area of high-intensity shaking for the Northridge earthquake, shown in red, was essentially absent for the Nisqually event.
The difference in these maps is primarily the result of the difference in hypocentral depths of the two earthquakes. Given that the Nisqually earthquake occurred 52 kilometers beneath the suface, someone at its epicenter would be at the same distance from the event as someone 45 kilometers away from the Northridge epicenter. Both of these locations have a similar color (yellow-orange) on the shakemaps.
It is possible to take this a step further, and look at the ground accelerations recorded during each earthquake at locations with similar hypocentral distances. A plot of acceleration time histories can be seen at right. It shows the records of two strong-motion instruments from the Nisqually earthquake, each compared with a Northridge earthquake record made by a similar instrument from a similar hypocentral distance. Though it's impossible to draw sweeping conclusions from such a limited sample, you can at least that there are no radical differences in the accelerations experienced at similar hypocentral distances from these earthquakes.
There was another striking difference between these two earthquakes that became apparent soon after the Nisqually earthquake struck. Whereas the Northridge earthquake was followed by hundreds of smaller earthquakes -- aftershocks -- within the first week, one week after the Nisqually earthquake only two aftershocks had been recorded. So far (and this likely won't change), the largest of the aftershocks to the Nisqually earthquake has been a magnitude 3.4 jolt that struck about 14 hours after the magnitude 6.8 mainshock. The largest Northridge aftershock, by comparison, measured magnitude 5.9, and five other first-week aftershocks exceeded magnitude 5. You can see these disparities in the graph at right. Moderate aftershocks are capable of causing further damage to weakened structures, so the lack of significant aftershocks was a factor in mitigating the total loss caused by the Nisqually earthquake.
It turns out that the dearth of Nisqually aftershocks came as no real surprise to seismologists. Previous large earthquakes at this depth in the subducting Juan de Fuca slab, in 1949 and 1965, were followed by very limited aftershock activity, so the Nisqually aftershock sequence, or lack thereof, is really quite typical. Likewise, the Northridge aftershock sequence was in no way unusual compared to the average activity of southern California aftershock sequences. Thus, the obvious difference between the two aftershock sequences reflects the underlying difference in the source of each mainshock -- one in the subducting oceanic slab beneath western Washington, the other in the comparatively shallow, brittle crust of southern California.

ESB Apprenticeship programme now open for applications
Offaly Express Reporter
ESB has announced today that applications to its highly-regarded ESB Networks Apprenticeship Programme are now open for 2019.
This year will see ESB Networks recruit up to 70 new electrical apprentices. Applications will be accepted online from today, Monday, February 18 and will remain open until March 25.
ESB Networks says it is known for its high-quality apprenticeship programme, which offers a mix of on-the-job experience as well as classroom based learning. Successful apprentices obtain a QQI Advanced Level 6 Electrical Trade Certificate over four years, with a utility that serves 2.3 million domestic and business customers in Ireland.
Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment Richard Bruton T.D. welcomed the announcement. "Apprenticeships offer embedded learning and are an important path to innovation which have been undervalued in Ireland by enterprise and by the community. Many new fields of apprenticeship are opening up in Ireland. The ESB has steadfastly recognised the importance of apprenticeships. Now more than ever as the energy sector is transformed to meet the challenge of global climate disruption, apprenticeships in this sector are more valuable than ever."
Speaking about the announcement, ESB Chief Executive Pat O'Doherty said, "The apprenticeship programme has always been of paramount importance to ESB. It ensures we have the skills and expertise necessary to maintain a world-leading electricity system, capable of meeting society's rapidly increasing needs for clean energy. I look forward to welcoming our latest cohort of apprentices to ESB later in the year."
Mr O'Doherty, who also chairs the Government's Apprentice Council, adds, "Apprenticeships are invaluable in developing high quality skills which are needed in a modern economy. It is encouraging to see apprentices span an ever-widening range of sectors, given that ESB has been very well served by our investment in apprenticeships over many decades."
Katie Hynes, who recently successfully completed the ESB Networks apprenticeship programme, strongly recommends this career path.
"My apprenticeship journey with ESB Networks has been nothing but positive, educational and enjoyable. My workmates and management have been extremely helpful by passing on as much knowledge and hands-on skills as possible. I really enjoy the physical and electrical aspect of my job. I would highly recommend both young women and men to apply for this apprenticeship like I did, you will have no regrets."

Here at Salt Lake Dental Care, we want your teeth to last a lifetime! Tooth enamel is one of the hardest parts of the body, but it is non-renewable so it is important not to not neglect or abuse our teeth. Daily teeth and gum care is the best way to protect tooth enamel.
Even though every Sandy Utah drug store carries hard bristle brushes, we recommend brushing with a soft brush after every meal to gently brush away acid. Scrub too hard, and you can erode enamel. It is ideal to brush immediately after eating, but brushing within 60 minutes of a meal has benefits. The quicker you remove food from your teeth, the better it is for your enamel.
Dr. Clint Blackwood recommends a checkup and thorough cleaning every six months. Our skilled family dentistry hygienists remove tartar, a substance that attracts plaque to the surface of the teeth and can weaken the teeth's structures. Regular checkups prevent problems and save you money on more expensive restorations, such as dental implants, down the road.
Remember: don't use your teeth for opening packages! Keep scissors and bottle openers handy. At Salt Lake Dental Care, we see damaged teeth and dental work as a result of patients using their teeth as tools. Biting down on something too hard, like ice or hard candy can also damage enamel.
Attention Murray UT, Salt Lake City, and Sandy Utah athletes: be sure to use a mouthguard for team, contact, and recreational sports.
Lastly, remember: drink water. Coffee, sports drinks, soda, wine, and tea all contain a lot of acid or sugar, and in some cases both. Cut back, or at least use a straw. These drinks cause a lot of tooth decay for non-water drinkers in the Salt Lake City area.
We hope you find these Salt Lake Dental Care tips helpful. For more information on dental care, or to schedule an appointment, contact our cosmetic dentistry office today at 801-938-8855!

Each clan will play ONE 3v3 BLITZ game against another clan every week. The results from each week will be updated and posted here. At the end of each week, the table of results will be updated and each clan will be assigned new opponents.
1) At the beginning of a week, the organizer will tell each teamleader which clan to play against and whether they should play as Allies or Rebels. This will also be published here.
2) After that, teamleaders will have one week to arrange a game (agree on date and time with the teamleader from the opponent team --- take into account different time zones --- and put together 3 clan members for the game).
3) Once the date/time is agreed, both teamleaders will inform the organizer about it (just in case).
4) Teamleader from team Allies will set up the game and invite everybody.
5) After the game, the teamleader of the winning team will take a screenshot (just in case) and inform the organizer about the game result.
NOTE: Since we will play 3v3 on a 4v4 map, Greece and Ukraine shall not be chosen to preserve the balance. They should be left empty (neutral).
Send me an in-game message. State who is your team leader, but make sure you have enough committed players first!
Note: If your clan has more people willing to play, you might also register the second team per clan. However, one player can only be a part of one team.
We'll figure something out later, but it will be something really really really amazing!
Now many clans will be able to put 2 teams. Try again.


FOX News is a pretty vast network covering a range of topics from business to world news to finance to pretty much all other topics that any major news network will cover, and different FOX News anchors are responsible for different sectors and various specific segments of this news coverage. Anchors on FOX News, therefore, mostly consider themselves pretty big experts on the subjects they are covering, and for the most part they are accurate in their assessments of themselves. They work on these subjects day in and day out, and some actually come from backgrounds where they were experts in business or finance or some similar subject.
Fox news anchors have a pretty enviable position collectively, since the news station is considered the No. 1 source for millions of Americans who watch television regularly and who get their news in this fashion. These Fox news anchors are responsible mostly for their daily reporting and for their on air broadcasts, though largely there is a team who is entirely responsible for every portion of every news segment. Thus, with most FOX News anchors a collective spirit and a collaborative working atmosphere are quite productive.
Most FOX News anchors have very strong backgrounds in journalism, with most coming from major news networks both through FOX affiliates and others. Virtually every FOX News anchor also has undergone rigorous training to handle any on air situation, so pretty much all FOX News anchors are quick on their feet and instinctively know how to respond to emergencies, to unforeseen circumstances, and to unique situations. They often follow the script but then veer off the script when it calls for it, and the typical viewer rarely notices a misstep.
Because of this training and this inherent focus on news, most FOX News anchors are very well regarded by their peers and by the people who continually watch their broadcasts. Unlike the pundits and the political personalities who share their opinions willfully to anyone who will listen to them, FOX News anchors keep their opinions to themselves, and in large part they succeed. Most listeners and viewers therefore have no idea the political backgrounds and preferences of these anchors. They rely on these professionals instead to simply report the news and save the rest for the on air personalities who are paid to shout out their opinions and argue with the opposing sides of any situation.

Metal Craft in Bihar: A Brief Introduction
Archives, Crafts, ICH Bihar
Dokra Craft, Metal Craft in Bihar Credit: Village Square
Brass and Bell Metal art is about 300 years old in Bihar. It is popular for decorative items like idols of God-Goddesses, statues and other daily utility items.
Bell metal is a mixture of copper and tin. Wax and wood which are essentially needed for these forest-based metal crafts are naturally available in abundance in tribal areas of Bihar. The craft received patronage from the Royal families, who used to pay the artisans to make idols.
Brass or bell metal craft items are prepared by melting the metal using a lost-wax technique. All individuals and group artisans work around their houses or at a common place. Raw materials required for bell metal art are a cluster of bees-wax, brass metal and fire-wood. The raw materials such as wax and metal are purchased from the market. The others like clay and fire-wood etc. are collected from the nearby forest itself. Artisans use a mixture of wax and resin and also pitch from coal tar. They mix two kilograms of the pitch with 250 grams of resin, melt the two items and strain them separately. Then they mix the two and heat the mixture over the fire, stirring it all the while. This process of mixing takes two hours or sometimes more. The mixture is strained again before using it. The manner of use of this mixture is identical to that of resin. These artisans are very precise in their work and follow their technique meticulously.
The next step is to wax them. The wax wires are prepared by pure bees-wax. The wires are separated and attached with the clay model from its front to back in around fashion. The whole of the clay image is covered with the wax wires and then they make several designs with these wires. After the desired designs on the image are completed, it is immediately coated again with clay. This time they use local soil added with sand and goat dung. At the time of coating, a hole or an opening is generally kept at the base of the image. The metal is then taken in a container. Generally, the metal is brass or bell metal. The container is then covered with a clay cup and is put into the furnace for two to three hours. After that, the molten metal is poured on to the image through the opening. Then the mold is kept for cooling. When the mold is cooled then water is sprinkled on the image, which makes the clay coat crack and break. The metal molds into the shapes and designs made by the wax wires. Thus, at last, an artistic bell metal or brass object is ready. The image is then scrubbed with sandy clay to give it shine. Sometimes they are even polished with wet tamarind.
As the Bell Metal products started easily flowing into the external markets, the number of artisans involved in the craft increased and so did the production.
Upendra Maharathi Shilp Anusandhan Sansthan is training artisans and making them aware of modern techniques of bell metal craft.

EFFECTS OF POPULISM IN GLOBAL CONTEXT:

VEHEMENCE OF NATIONALISM:

BLACKGUARDISM OF WORLD POWERS:
MEDIOCRE POPULISM:
21st century has witnessed a model change in the political trends which never had been this much synchronized around the globe. The "Alleged" caretakers of the world, notorious elites, and labeled populists gained immense importance in years to come. The 9/11, Recession of 2008, and the exodus crisis of 2015, transmitted fear and created wedges among the people. As a result of these proceedings, seeds of unilateralism and eliciting contempt for bureaucracies, existing democratic systems, and traditional protocols were cultured-the the very features of populism. Thus, the mentioned crisis paved the way for undesired populism.
This planet of ours woefully now has been a place of drifting consequences. The Covid-19, unexplored, and unknown virus, certainly shocked the world by its adventure. The historians and intellectuals once again get divided upon their rational thoughts, as this virus strengthens the existing populists even more. Therefore, the populist group: the ones expecting this political trend to maintain its power in the post-COVID-19 era, spotting similarities in ongoing and former crisis, whereas the other group anticipating populism to be crumbled in the post-COVID-19 world.
At first, we need to acknowledge the idea of populism, its thought process, how a crisis can lead to populism before assessing its fate in the post-COVID-19 world. We have to keep this in mind that terminologies like populist and populism are not yet interpreted well. But these terms possess negative connotations like others-Capitalism & Communism since the Bolshevik Revolution. We have to contemplate however the populist closest definition.
According to Cas Mudde, presented the most reasonable illustration of populism; Populists see their society divided into two groups, "The Pure People & The Corrupt Elite". The former considers the latter, responsible for all the socio-economic ailments. This grouping could be at national, international, or any other level. Similarly, it also classified from social class to religion to ethnicity. The idea of much relevance to populism given by Prof. Nadia Urbinati of Columbia University refers to populism, "where one section of the society is endangered from the other.
Mainstream politicians know exactly the situation and then the populists use that situation to take advantage of the fright of pure people. But the social demonstration shows us that populist leaders are primarily anti-liberal, disregard science, traditional democracies, protocols, and incline to make false promises and make direct contact with their people.
The populist leaders no surprisingly took advantage of every former series of crises, added fuel to fire, as these crises endanger different aspects of life. For instance, 9/11, one of the major events of topical times, converge the compulsion in westerners against Muslims and stipulated the feelings of populism on mutual sides of Atlantic.
Through this aroused sentiments, the western leaders found the way against Islamic Culture and proposed "Clash of Civilizations". Uniformly, the 2008 recession held all the related policymakers, economists, and business persons in charge of the crisis. Populists again perceived their mechanism, as the financial insecurities and vexation were on the surge. Regardless, the immigration crisis if not reacted the same as traditional populism, but is stimulated the same purpose-saving jobs for the working class. Consequently, different crises every time give birth to a newer kind of populism.
Does, crisis alone seize the rise of populism? No. Ideally, the global economic and political system is evenly blameworthy. The generalized capitalists of the world reciprocated uneven wealth distribution & menaces to cultural identity are eminent examples of the ailing system. Therefore, it is now oblivious that not only the notorious crisis but the prevailing democratic setup is also responsible for the rise of populism, as they used tools of a system like; public representation and freedom of speech to engage the desired public.
Let now scrutinize, whether the outburst of Covid-19 really opens up the doors for populism or not. Populists like authoritarianism which permits rapid actions and deploying huge resources without any contest. These facets are more likely to be noticed in the post-COVID-19 scenario. China, despite being the genesis of the corona, productively managed this predicament. The ruthless but effective lockdown has been witnessed in the whole of Hubei province-50m of population. Seemingly, food and other essentials were ensured during the quarantine. Contrastingly, the world's largest democracy, India responded abysmally by depositing the responsibility of virus to the impuissant of the society. As per the world's reputable newspaper, "The Guardian" confirmed that "120m migrants took to the roads of the country from rural to urban with domestic stuff on their heads and kids on their back".
According to the adopted stances by democratic-India & authoritarian-China, the steps for populism got even more coherent in the post-COVID-19 world. Besides, chances of ferocity and societal unrest impending amid the crisis, as UN Secretary-General, Anotonio Guetterres predicted. "The probability of the tyrannical political system is surfacing, thus augmenting populist ideology". The multi-lateral system is undoubtedly plunging due to Coronavirus outburst; populists are eyeing to maneuver unilateralism.
Unsurprisingly, the virus holds the aptitude to affect co-operation among world nations, pessimistically. In contrast to this crisis, the fragile South of Europe urged the prudent North to unite against the Coronavirus. Italian PM even showed more agitation, "If we do not seize the opportunity to put new life to the European projects, the risk of failure is real".
Now we deliberately sense that co-operation alliance could be hurt amidst a peculiar crisis. IMF chief showed apprehensions, that the global economy might remain impugned till 2021. Withal, a new cycle of extreme poverty could be inhaling in the war-ravaged Arab and African regions. This could results in the migration of many affected Arabs to Europe, while the European would showcase every effort to keep them out. This will assuredly boost nationalist, anti-immigrant, and bigoted culture across the globe. Simply put this way, an amalgamation of various crises in the post-COVID-19 era is anticipated, which will intensify the existing wave of populism. Populists also manipulate legal institutions and global jurisprudence to exploit commonality through the global elite.
For instance, the role and contribution of WHO was openly criticized by the US head of state, Donald J.Trump for being too complaisant to China. The apparent mercurial world order and the concurrent blame game will further deteriorate IGO's in the coming times. So, the odds of pertinent politicians will become faint as populist leaders perceive the crisis as an opportunity to upsurge. As Cas Mudde prognosticated about the formation of two antagonist groups, but none of them should be seen as guilty, presently for the cause of this deadly virus. The world should be assembled for further conspiracy theories.
There has been another factor of repentance between the two giants' political class of the world, the USA, and China. They contributed to this gob, rather than provide any legitimate denouement. Conventionally, Muslims have been oppressed in India for the spread of Coronavirus. However, crafty international media and global leaders discard this narrative. Thankfully, no peculiar community, group, or nation becomes accountable for the outspread of the virus yet.
In the latest Coronavirus backdrop, we must compare it with the 9/11 scenario after which the whole of the western sphere came united against "Islamic Civilization", as Noam Chomsky opines. The sole narrative was embraced by all of the global and regional powers at that time, either voluntarily or vigorously. But contrarily, Covid-19 outburst has fabricated rifts among westerners on the issue of funding, stratagem, and role of authoritative organizations like WHO. This impediment surely will give mutiny to the unilateralism system-populists forte and thus the formation of the contending groups.
If the Coronavirus expedition paved the way for populism, then we must also scrutinize the former performance of populism. The ramshackle organizations of populists' regime must be the eye-opening for the political class. For example, the suspension of Barrack Obama's Affordable Care Act (ACA), followed by the havoc caused by a virus in the USA. The social safety of the masses always remained down the list, as business and defense are the priorities of populists.
As we conversed, the eruption of Coronavirus might prove to be a game-changer for populists. The despairing and crippling economic and political framework will encourage nationalists and unilateralists. Favorably, the two recognized antagonist groups are disrupted, for now, any universal populist docket is unlikely to be acquired. In such circumstances, the fate of populism is to be adjudged at the national level. The growth of populism is above par in the post-COVID-19 world. It is an absolute responsibility of mainstream media and the political leaders to adhere, practical strategies for these crises and ensure non-partisan talk on media.

The Bell 206A JetRanger was developed in response to a U.S. Army requirement for a light observation helicopter. Although loosing the U.S. Army contract to Hughes, Bell nonetheless built a five seat prototype of its aircraft, flown on January 10, 1966, and certified nine months later. The Model 206A was soon produced commercially and enjoyed massive success with both civilian and military operators around the world. The capacity and reliability of the JetRanger family resulted in Bell developing a medium-lift version of the 206 designated Model 206L LongRanger, incorporating a stronger engine, a lengthened fuselage and a larger-diameter main rotor.
The IAF had begun operating light helicopters in the mid 1950s but it was not until the Six Day War of 1967 that their importance was fully appreciated. The war had displayed the helicopter's advantages in the light transportation, VIP transport, liaison and recon roles, and in its aftermath a new light helicopter squadron was set up, the 125th "Hamesokim Ha'Kala" (Light Helicopters) squadron. At first equipped with the Aerospatiale Alouette II, the new squadron was based at Sde Dov. The Alouettes, however, were aged aircraft, lacking night flying capabilities, and the IAF sought to purchase another, more capable type. After testing a number of helicopters, including the Hughes OH-6A and the MBB BO-105, the IAF finally selected the JetRanger as its next light helicopter. The first two IAF JetRangers arrived in Israel in June 1971 and the type was nicknamed "Saifan" (Avocet).
When the Yom Kippur War broke out in October 1973, the 125th sqn. dispersed its aircraft to the various fronts, setting up a number of independent sections to operate alongside Israeli ground forces. Besides their regular role as light transports and VIP helicopters, the Saifans were also employed for casualty evacuation and pursuit of enemy forces. Another new role adopted during the war was artillery targeting, the helicopters directing Israeli ground fire against enemy positions. On one such mission eight Egyptian soldiers surrendered to a Saifan after an officer on board spotted and opened fire on them.
Cooperation with IDF ground forces continued after the end of the Yom Kippur War and the roles played during the war were now integrated into the squadron training regime. The end of the war also brought about an increase in American military assistance to Israel and more aircraft were procured. The increased Saifan numbers allowed the type's introduction into the IAF Flight School and since May 1976 the type has been the primary trainer for all future IAF helicopter pilots.
The Bell 206s were back in action during operation "Peace For Galilee," the 1982 invasion of Lebanon. During the war the 125th sqn. operated a temporary section at the northern airfield of Mahanaim, flying liaison, reconnaissance, transportation and evacuation duties in support of Israeli forces. These flights continued long after the end of hostilities, supporting the Israeli presence deep inside Lebanon. While Israel withdrew from most of Lebanon in 1985, it had nonetheless set up the southern Security Zone to protect its northern border from attacks originating there. Saifans continued to provide assistance to Israeli forces in Lebanon right up to Israel's withdrawal in May 2000. For their missions inside Lebanon, the helicopters were equipped with self-protection suites to guard against enemy ground fire.
Unlike most other elements of the IAF, Bell 206s saw extensive service during the Intifada, the Palestinian uprising which begun in December 1987, flying policing duties for the IDF. The Saifans also saw a great deal of action during the 1991 Gulf War. Every time Iraqi Scud missiles were launched against Israel, Saifans were scrambled to locate the point of impact, to determine whether the missile contained a chemical warhead and to direct search and rescue forces to the spot. The fear of Iraqi chemical warfare meant that the pilots manning these missions were ordered to fly wearing gas masks. On January 13, 1994, a Saifan on approach to an army base near Jerusalem collided with an antenna, killing to two pilots and two other officers on board, including the commander of Israel's Central Command.
May 1984 witnessed the introduction of another Bell 206 variant into IAF service, the 206L LongRanger, nicknamed "Saifaneet". The Saifaneet, capable of carrying 5 passengers instead of the Saifan's 3, is operated by the 125th squadron alongside the Saifans, flying similar roles. Its first trial by fire came during the April 1996 campaign against Hizbullah guerrillas in southern Lebanon, operation "Grapes of Wrath."
The 125th sqn. continues to be the IAF's primary VIP transport squadron, regularly flying high ranking officers all over Israel. Operating the Saifan and Saifaneet, it has become the largest squadron in the IAF, in both men and aircraft.

29 Oct 2018 Chennai - Cloud computing has strongly contributed to the revolution of the traditional IT model. This paradigm has also contributed to the rise of applications using large amounts of data. Particularly, the quality of service and cost are two major points in the Cloud environment. This new concept which proposes to offer applications and IT infrastructures in the form of service available on demand and payable according to the duration of use must optimize both the performance of its resources and the respect of attractive pricing policies.
The Cloud computing model relies on the exploitation of several data centres installed on different geographical locations. Each data centre hosts servers which include the virtual machines in charge of processing users' requests. The geographic extent of the cloud architecture, as well as the number of interactions that exist between the physical components, make the mission of analysis and optimization of the performance highly complex. The study proposes to study the performance by considering the Cloud model as a black box with a list of inputs gathering the factors that can influence the performance of the system and the outputs that translate the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Each KPI makes it possible to measure the evolution of an aspect of the system performance such as the response time or the cost of service. The process of identifying and evaluating the influencing factors was carried out on the basis of Taguchi experience plans. This study includes two steps that aim to improve the performance of Cloud services while ensuring a lower price level. The first step is the evaluation of the Cloud model via a performance analysis methodology inspired by Taguchi concept and the second step details the implementation of a three-tier architecture.
The modelling of the system, as well as all the simulation scenarios, were carried out via the CloudAnalyst simulator. This simulator dedicated to Cloud architecture allows the implementation of various inputs configurations defined on the basis of Taguchi tables in order to find out the function f that links each output to the system's inputs. The conclusions of this study revealed the impact of the load balancing policy as well as the size of the queries and the location of the data centres with respect to the user on the response time, the processing time and the total cost. Particularly, the load balancing demonstrated a substantial impact on the performance of the Cloud system.
Following a comparative study of several load balancing algorithms, it was possible to define a three-tier solution based on an ant colony algorithm. The choice of the ant colony algorithm was justified by its ability to identify an optimal solution within a reasonable time and to be able to manage a wide area network encompassing thousands of nodes. These characteristics have made it possible to have a solution that satisfies both the response time and cost criteria. The architecture has also two controllers in order to decrease the load of the main controller and contribute to improving the processing time of the system.


Marriage is all about partnership. Often, that involves compromising on things you don't agree upon. One topic we often hear couples discuss is the dilemma they face when celebrating special occasions together, especially Valentine's Day.
You might get excited about having a romantic experience together. Sharing special affection and gifts may speak to you in a way it doesn't to your spouse. On the other hand, your spouse might dread the looming celebration. The gap between expectation and reality can create uncomfortable friction between you as the big day approaches.
Special occasions like Valentine's Day are loaded with specific expectations. Emotions can run high when a couple neglects to find a happy medium, year after year. The good news is, even if one of you is absolutely not excited about an upcoming special occasion, you can still work together to create a memorable experience.
There are plenty of reasons why some people just don't get excited about Valentine's Day. Have you heard (or argued) these points before?
Even if these arguments feel 100% valid to you, and even if you can't work up an ounce of enthusiasm over celebrating, you need to consider your spouse's feelings. You don't have to fake excitement; Valentine's Day can be just another day to you. But it's not "just another day" to your spouse.
How you feel about Valentine's Day isn't important; what is important is your spouse, and how your feel about him or her.
Whatever you think about the day, it matters a lot to your spouse. And in this case, that means it's time to put your spouse's feelings before your own and celebrate for them because you love and feel strongly toward them.
It's not about forcing yourself to fake excitement about the holiday itself. You're not celebrating because you love the day; you're celebrating your spouse because you know how deeply they will be impacted by your gesture of love.
Find joy in creating a moment or an experience that is a gift of love from you to your spouse–even if you don't need Valentine's Day as a special milestone for yourself.
We gift gifts and conjure up experiences for the ones we love to create another chapter in our story together as a couple. And you may find that the act brings up emotions and affection from deep inside you that may have been hidden from your spouse.
It can be difficult to convince your spouse to get on board with your idea of celebrating Valentine's Day if he or she is just not interested. Maybe it means a lot to you, but you dread its approach every year because you know your spouse won't be willing to fulfill your hopes or expectations for the day.
Now, you're just in an annual cycle of hoping for something special, then being disappointed when it doesn't come.
Valentine's Day isn't exactly important to your spouse; because of this, he or she may genuinely not know what to do for you. If a Valentine's celebration isn't an emotional need for your spouse, it's going to be difficult for him or her to understand, then orchestrate, a celebration that will make you happy.
If you're able to tell your spouse how you'd like to celebrate Valentine's Day (or any other special occasion, for that matter), you can help him or her create something memorable. When your spouse knows exactly what you want, they're more likely to show relief than resistance. Be willing to offer some coaching and direction so your spouse can help you celebrate a memorable holiday.
Do you and your spouse have different opinions about celebrating Valentine's Day?

Oprah does things in a big way and that is what we have come to know her for, so when she stepped onto the stage at the Apple event, for sure, we expected nothing less than a big announcement. Brace yourselves for the biggest book club and its coming to an apple platform near you. Tv mogul Oprah is teaming up the world's most valuable brand, Apple to create "the biggest, the most vibrant, the most stimulating book club on the planet," "uniting people with stories," and hopefully streaming conversations with Winfrey and authors.
While delivering the keynote presentation at Apple's live-streamed event on Monday, Oprah started by explaining how the company helps people connect—much in the same way she used to during her 25 years on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Oprah's Book Club is a cultural force. The so-called "Oprah Effect" is estimated to have sold more than 60 million copies of the Book Club's selections, and it's made several authors into household names.
In November last year, O, The Oprah Magazine and OWN announced it had chosen Michelle Obama's BECOMING its newest Oprah's Book Club, a book that has so far become the top bestselling book.
Oprah posted a video on Instagram with Tim Cook on the intended partnership.
This is going to revolutionize the industry and we are here for it. Well done Aunty O, our favorite American aunt.
The post Oprah and Apple are Creating the "Biggest Book Club on the Planet" appeared first on Capital Lifestyle.


Take a paws, because we're letting the dogs out! Take your time through the 5K to play with the shelter dogs, and discover their true personalities behind profile pictures. The more dogs you pet, the more money you raise for local animal shelters. It's not about adoption, but simply hanging out with these awesome dogs, so everyone is welcome!
Canno 5K is aiming to turn around the stigma people have around adoptable dogs of certain color, age, size, or breed, and foster meaningful relationships. Participants would go through interactive booths accompanied by shelter dogs throughout the 5K, and be invited to make a change whether it's raising awareness within the communities or going through with an adoption.


I've long been a fan of the Lua scripting language due its incredible speed and relative ease that it can be interfaced with a host application. In this screenshot we can see the new LuaNode that is reading a random number from an input pin, modifying that value and setting an output pin.
While this is a relatively pointless example considering the amazing range of things that could be achieved, it works very well and very quickly!
Scripting is an important feature of Fugio as not all stages of code translates well into nodes. For instance, performing simple maths on one or more values would result in having to use lots of nodes, to store values and apply each operation. With scripting we can pass values in, concisely manipulate these values, and output the values, all in one node.
I've implemented a basic but extensible way to pass other types of information to and from Lua, such as colours, vec3's, etc, so there will be no need to split/join these datatypes into their basic components before passing them into/from the LuaNode.

"I love Patrick Caneday's work. He seeks out the humanity in us and writes about it in the kind of seamless prose that any author would envy, in a style that only a few can achieve. I have always looked forward to reading his columns and now I have them at hand to consider them in pleasure. Thanks, Patrick, for the immensity of the gift you have given us and continue to give."
Whether the subject is a bruised knee or a bruised ego, the death of a loved one or the death of a goldfish, his challenged faith, delusions of grandeur or addiction to grilled meat, Patrick Caneday finds a way to make the mundane and ordinary meaningful. In Crooked Little Birdhouse, Caneday brings together a collection of the most popular pieces from his weekly newspaper column and adds a series of new essays. The result is a life story weaved through random insights on the world, people and a birdhouse. With trademark wit and poignant observation, he's not afraid to offer himself as proof of our shared suffering, humanity and survival, in a book that is more memoir than compilation. While others tell us what's wrong with the world, Caneday shows us what's right.

HomePrince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP)
Prince Edward Island (PEI), which consists of the island itself and several surrounding isles, is Canada's smallest province.
It is sometimes called "the birthplace of Canada" because of the Charlottetown conference, which led to the country's formation. PEI is renowned not only for its lush farmland and beautiful coasts, but it is also home to a burgeoning economy centered on agriculture, tourism, and fishing.
The PEI PNP is Prince Edward Island's Provincial Nominee Program. Through this program, prospective immigrants with the skills and experience targeted by the province may receive a Prince Edward Island Provincial Nomination Certificate, which will allow that foreign national to apply for Canadian permanent residence with processing times that are faster than other Canadian immigration classes.
The PEI PNP accepts applications under three major immigration categories:
PEI PNP Express Entry
Labour Impact Category
Business Impact Category
Note: On January 25, 2018, PEI introduced guidelines for its Expression of Interest (EOI) System. Please review each category page for more details on selection criteria and points distribution.
Candidates who are eligible to enter the Express Entry pool and are interested in living and working in Prince Edward Island may apply to the PEI PNP Express Entry Category. Eligible applicants may benefit from processing times of six months or less. The PEI PNP does not guarantee that all Express Entry profiles submitted will be reviewed or accepted. Only those applicants with skills matching current identified labour needs for the province will be considered.
Learn more about the eligibility requirements to apply for the PEI PNP Express Entry.
The province accepts applications under this category from individuals who possess skills and experience that are needed in PEI's labour market. This category is divided into three streams. They are as follows:
Skilled Worker Stream
This stream is for workers who have been identified or hired by a PEI employer. To apply to this stream, an individual must be either currently working in PEI or have a job offer from an employer in the province. Eligible applicants will work in a skilled profession and possess relevant experience and at least a post-secondary degree or diploma.
Critical Worker Stream
This stream is for workers who have already been hired by a PEI employer, and whose employer would like to sponsor them for permanent residency. Eligible applicants can work in a semi-skilled or unskilled profession.

15. God commanding Noah to build the Ark. (Marc Antonio, after Raffaelle.)
It is placed among the Standards, because, though not absolutely good work, it represents a great school in Italy, which is distinguished by the dignity of its aim and the simplicity of its treatment. This school allows few sources of pleasure in painting except those which are common to sculpture; and depends for expression chiefly on the action of the figures, the division of the lights and darks broadly from each other, and the careful disposition of the masses of drapery, hair, or leaves, without any effort to complete the representation of these so as to give pleasure by imitation, or by minor beauties. Very often, however, such details, kept within these conditions of abstraction, are introduced in great quantity and division, (as the graining of the wood in this engraving), in order to relieve the broad masses of the figures.
The style is essentially academical, and, as opposed to Dutch imitation, noble; but, as opposed to Venetian truth, affected and lifeless. It has done great harm to subsequent schools by encouraging foolish persons in the idea that to be dull was to be sublime; and inducing great, but simple painters, like Reynolds, to give way to every careless fancy, under the discomforting belief that they could never be great without ceasing to be delightful.

GTA publisher Take-Two to buy Farmville developer Zynga in a $12.7 billion deal
Published: Jan 10, 2022 11:32 am Updated: Jan 10, 2022 11:40 am
Zynga has 45 days to shop for a better offer.
New York-based Take-Two is buying mobile game maker Zynga with a mix of stock and cash valued at an enterprise value of $12.7 billion. Take-Two is most well known for its Grand Theft Auto franchise while Zynga has made several mobile games including the extremely popular Farmville.
Take-Two will acquire the mobile maker at a valuation of $12.7 billion, which will be distributed as $3.50 in cash and $6.361 in shares of Take-Two common stock based on the market close as of January 7, 2022. The purchase price represents a premium of 64% to Zynga's closing share price on January 7. Zynga still has 45 days to look for a better deal with a different company as part of the 'Go-Shop provision'.
This strategic combination brings together our best-in-class console and PC franchises, with a market-leading, diversified mobile publishing platform that has a rich history of innovation and creativity.
Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two.
This deal would create one of the largest publicly traded interactive entertainment companies in the world. With a mix of console, PC and mobile games' expertise, the Take-Two will have a diverse mix of consumers to deal with. Adapting its business plans for different groups of consumers will be one of the foremost challenges for the new company. More importantly, Take-Two hopes to reach new consumer segments across geographical boundaries with this deal. Zynga's market share is primarily in the east where mobile games have a deeper penetration.
Here are some of Take-Two's games.
Midnight Club
Zynga, mostly known for its mobile games has several superhits to its name. While Farmville is one of the most popular games in its portfolio, the publisher has several other titles to its name.
Zynga had nearly 3% market share of the mobile gaming market. It is most popularly known for Farmville.
CSR Racing
Empires & Puzzles
Golf Rival
Hair Challenge
High Heels!
Merge Dragons!
Toon Blast
Toy Blast
Zynga Poker™
Traded on the NASDAQ, Zynga's stock price peaked in 2012 when it was valued at $14.69 a share. After several years of poor performance, the stock price has seen a jump in the past couple of years.
Mobile gaming has been one of the fastest-growing segments of the gaming industry with revenues outweighing PC and console combined. There is massive projected growth in the near future, especially from Easter countries. This announcement could further cement Take-Two bringing some of its PC and console games to mobile.
The takeover also means Take-Two increases its Recurrent Consumer Spending ("RCS"), which will help the company ensure less income volatility surrounding periods of game releases.
All of this is still subject to finalization as Zynga and its board of directors may actively solicit, receive, evaluate, and potentially enter negotiations with parties that offer alternative proposals. The Go-Shop clause will be valid till February 24, 2022.
Stay tuned to esports.gg for the latest gaming news and updates.

The 2018-19 NHL season begins Oct. 3. With training camps open, NHL.com is taking a look at the five keys, the inside scoop on roster questions, and the projected lines for all 31 teams. Today, the New York Rangers.
The Rangers will have a new look under Quinn, but they need the same from goalie Henrik Lundqvist if they're going to compete for a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Lundqvist, who is entering his 14th NHL season, has been one of the best goalies in the NHL for more than a decade, but he is 36 years old and his numbers have declined in the past two seasons. He has a 2.87 goals-against average and .913 save percentage in 120 games the past two seasons after he had a 2.28 GAA and .921 save percentage in 685 games from 2005-15. His 2.98 GAA last season was the worst of his NHL career.
Kevin Shattenkirk's first season with the Rangers was not one he'd like to relive. The 29-year-old defenseman, who signed a four-year contract July 1, 2017, was limited to 46 games before he had surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee Jan. 22. He struggled in his 46 games too, but the hope is that was a result of the knee injury, which he sustained in training camp and tried to play through. Shattenkirk had 23 points (five goals, 18 assists), including 12 on the power play, and was minus-14. This season, he could be targeted for top-pair minutes, potentially with Brady Skjei, and the Rangers need him to quarterback the power play. He needs to be New York's comeback player of the year.
The Rangers could be dangerous if their projected top line of left wing Chris Kreider, center Mika Zibanejad and right wing Pavel Buchnevich carries its weight. Buchnevich is arguably the Rangers' best pure scoring threat. He's entering his third season, and New York needs him to break out. He had 43 points (14 goals, 29 assists) in 74 games last season but was moved up and down the lineup by former coach Alain Vigneault. Buchnevich has the skill and the ability to play off Kreider's power game if he stays on the top line. Buchnevich, a lefty, and Zibanejad, a righty, also give the Rangers booming shots from each side on the power play.
The Rangers could have two 19-year-old rookies among their 12 forwards opening night against the Nashville Predators at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 4. Lias Andersson and Filip Chytil, each a first-round selection in the 2017 NHL Draft, could be in the top-nine forward group. Chytil, who was drafted as a center, could move to left wing to allow Andersson to play center in the top nine (Zibanejad and Kevin Hayes will be the top two centers). Chytil is a big playmaker whose skills might make him better suited to come off the wall rather than play in the middle. Andersson is a grinding-type center. Chytil had three points (one goal, two assists) in nine games last season, and Andersson had two points (one goal, one assist) in seven games.
Quinn said early in training camp the Rangers are banking on Brendan Smith being as good as he was two seasons ago, when he played with bite and was an effective defense partner for Skjei. Smith, 29, finished last season, his first on a four-year contract, with Hartford of the American Hockey League because he was ineffective in New York. He technically finished the season on injured reserve because he broke his hand in practice March 21. Smith should play in a top-six role this season. The Rangers need to count on him again.
The Rangers have a glut of defensemen pushing for roster spots, but it could be tough to oust the six players who have the inside track. Skjei, Shattenkirk, Smith, Marc Staal, Neal Pionk and Adam McQuaid, who was acquired in a trade from the Boston Bruins on Sept. 11, look like they should be on the final roster. Tony DeAngelo, John Gilmour, Fredrik Claesson and Rob O'Gara could also make the roster. It's not clear if the Rangers will keep seven or eight defensemen. It also appears Matt Beleskey is battling Cody McLeod for a spot on the fourth forward line. Beleskey injured his shoulder in the preseason game against the New Jersey Devils on Monday.
Claesson was the only unrestricted free agent the Rangers signed after July 1. New York signed forwards Ville Meskanen and Michael Lindqvist out of Europe in early May. Neither has stood out in camp, but one or both could eventually be impactful players in the NHL this season. Lindqvist, 24, had 34 points (20 goals, 14 assists) in 33 games with Farjestad BK of the Swedish Hockey League last season. Meskanen, 22, had 44 points (24 goals, 20 assists) in 48 games with Ilves in Finland's Liiga last season.
Pionk, a 23-year-old defenseman, offered a glimpse of his ability last season after making his NHL debut Feb. 9. He had 14 points (one goal, 13 assists) in 28 games and averaged 22:23 of ice time. Pionk, who the Rangers signed as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Minnesota Duluth, could play top-four minutes and be on the second power-play unit. He averaged 1:15 on the man-advantage last season.
In addition to Buchnevich, who has shown flashes of his elite shot and scoring ability, the Rangers are hoping Andersson and Chytil become the first two from what is now a large group of young players who could make up part of the future core of the team to make the jump to full-time NHL duty. Behind them could be center Brett Howden and defensemen Libor Hajek and Ryan Lindgren, but odds are they start the season in the AHL.

New Castleberry Hill barbecue joint opening pushed back until the end of the month

Smoke Ring, a new barbecue joint, is scheduled to open in Castleberry Hill at the end of September. The latest from 101 Concepts (they also operate Cibo e Beve, Food 101, and Meehan's Public House), this "gastrocue" will be led by Jordan Wakefield, former executive chef at Meehan's downtown, and his wife Erin. It occupies the space previously home to J.R. Crickets. Smoke Ring will serve traditional barbecue, as well as sliders, small plates, soups, and salads, with sides such as cotija corn on the cob, bacon, and jalapeno cornbread. Below, Wakefield shares details on the restaurant.
Why did you decide to focus on barbecue for your new restaurant?
I've been doing barbecue my entire life. I remember being out in the backyard with my family when we were kids. It's always been a passion of mine. I've tried to implement it wherever I've been—Meehan's, Food 101.
Most barbecue places in Georgia have the relaxed atmosphere but stick to basics. There's not one place where you can get the best brisket, best ribs, best pulled pork, the best Brunswick stew, and the best sides. It's a goal of mine to pull them all together and have them at my own place.
Why Castleberry Hill?
Castleberry has a really positive vibe. Everybody's great. The city of Atlanta is really starting to compete with other culinary cities. We've put ourselves on the map and down there we have the Ferris wheel, the Falcons, and the Braves. It's a vibrant atmosphere, and we're excited to add our particular flavor to it.
What style of barbecue will you serve?
I want to put a new style of barbecue on the map and help create a Georgia brand. Things in the South have come from Florida, New Orleans, Virginia, North Carolina—no one is completely from a certain area. We hold onto certain things passed down from generations.
But what kind of sauce will you use?
We'll have our own line of four to six sauces: a mustard sauce made from whole grain Guinness mustard, a white barbecue sauce, and an ancho chile red barbecue sauce.
We're doing half chickens, spare ribs, wings, baby back ribs, pork belly, brisket, and pulled pork. For vegetarians we'll have a smoked Portobello sandwich, something we call the Ultimate Grilled Cheese with pimento cheese and grilled onions, salads, and gluten free options. We'll also have small plates and snacks like fried okra, fried green tomatoes, smoked salmon cakes, chicken wings, and pig ears slides into thin strips and fried and served with mustard barbecue sauce.
Tell me about the atmosphere.
Most barbecue spots have this kind of burn and churn atmosphere. At Smoke Ring, you can come in for a quick lunch—we have like six or seven sliders on the menu—or a three-course meal with cool snacks and small plates. You can come throw down some beers and shots after a game or have a nice meal with your significant other.
I want to create a place where people come in once or twice week, not once or twice a month. So it's not going to be pretentious. The floors come from an old cotton mill. The walls are reclaimed woods. There's off-white tile, a wooden bar and wooden tables. There's a lot of natural light from the windows. We can fit thirty or forty people on the patio, plus more than a hundred inside.
We're talking about having live music—potentially a one or two person acoustics. And we'll play upbeat stuff—southern rock, country, the classics.
I also want to start a garden and a farmers' market nearby.
How do you envision the bar scene?
My wife will be the bar manager. We're not having any imported beers—all domestic. We'll have a nice selection of moonshines and bourbons and even our "cheap" wines are going to be really good reserve wines. While we appreciate places where it takes ten minutes to get a four-ounce drink, it won't be like that; that's not where everyone wants to go.

Calabar breaks ground for New Entrance
The Calabar High School for boys is giving itself a facelift. Come September, the students who attend the Red Hills Road, St Andrew-based institution will enter through a new gate. And it will cost $17 million. Construction of the new gate will be conducted by Tank Weld Ltd.On hand for the groundbreaking ceremony at the school recently was former Prime Minister, PJ Patterson. He was delighted about the upgrade to his alma mater. "The students must feel proud when they enter Calabar," Patterson said. Also in attendance were Calabar old boys, Vin Lawrence and Mayor of Kingston, Delroy Williams. "Calabar is a landmark and this will enhance the aesthetics of the Corporate Area," Williams said. The gate will be retrofitted with steel arches and will bear the school motto, the Utmost for the Highest.

Excessive dietary energy intake is believed to be the cause of fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome. Heredity may also play a role, but it is not the entire cause for the disease. Birds housed in cages will more likely be affected because they are unable to exercise to burn off the extra dietary energy. Walking hens are less likely to develop this problem. The disease is observed most often in birds that appear to be healthy and in a state of high egg production. As a result, death can occur quite unexpectedly.
Affected birds are usually overweight and may also have pale combs. Generally, however, the disease has few or no symptoms prior to the bird's death.
The use of L-Tryptophan in the diet can decrease the syndrome.
