Mumbai, February 7, 2018: YES BANK, India's fourth largest private sector bank has successfully completed issuance of its maiden USD 600 million bond issue in the international debt markets. The Bond issuance is for a tenor of 5 years and is rated Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service. The Bond will be listed on the London Stock Exchange International Securities Market (LSE ISM), the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading SGX), and the India International Exchange IFSC at GIFT City, Gandhinagar.
Having initially launched the deal at 150 basis points over the treasury yield, the Bank was able to achieve a final pricing of 130 basis points over equivalent 5 year U.S treasury yield which is the lowest spread over Treasury for a debut fixed rate International bond issuance by an Indian bank with a minimum issue size of USD 500 million. CLSA Ltd, HSBC, JP Morgan Securities, Merrill Lynch International, Nomura, Standard Chartered and YES BANK (IFSC) acted as Joint Book Running Lead Managers (BRLM's) for the offering.
The bonds received an overwhelming response from international investors and saw a final order book, at a spread of 130 basis points, being oversubscribed by >1.83x from over 90 accounts. In terms of investor type, the split was 46% to asset managers, 38% to banks, 11% to insurance companies and 5% to private banks. In terms of geographic distribution, Asian accounts received 58% of the allocation, EMEA received 41% and offshore US accounts received 1%.
The proceeds will be used to fund the bank's IFSC Banking Unit (IBU) in Gift City and expand IBU's rapidly growing business opportunities. The bond issuance is aligned to the Government of India's commitment to building a high-tech financial hub in the country.
YES BANK has continued its leadership at GIFT City IFSC as the 1st IBU to have started operations in October 2015. With this, the Bank has demonstrated its ability to leverage newer geographies and currencies to fund the bank's expanding franchise at GIFT City. YES BANK's IBU also continues to be the largest amongst the operational IBUs with Balance Sheet size crossing USD 2 Billion as on December 2017.

So recently I discovered a taco place in Orlando. It's quite interesting. They have tacos and burritos, but! It is stuffed with asian cuisine!! Yes..! Asian cuisine! I tried their tacos and then I went back again and tries a burrito! It is actually quite delicious! I would want to try the whole menu! They have quite a variety, from chinese cuisine to thai cuisine to even Indian cuisine! Dishes like bbq pork to thai curry AND butter chicken burritos!!
If you haven't ate there before, you should definitely try it when you are here in Orlando! I'll go on another food adventure!!

The prolonged heat and dryness during the summer of 2018 resulted in water shortage all across Europe. This was especially valid for the Netherlands, where the 2018 drought was considered as one of the worst droughts of the past century with a precipitation deficit of approximately 300 mm. The drought significantly affected crop yields and several national water authorities had to take action to control the water levels, including irrigation restrictions.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to quantify a drought. Traditionally this is done with rainfall observations and potential evaporation, but within the water and agricultural sector a drought is more associated to the actual water conditions in the soil rather than solely precipitation deficits which are not based on actual evaporation.
With the recent advances in both technology and algorithm development we are now in the position to quantify these conditions using sophisticated satellites of NASA and ESA. In the figure below we show the severity of the drought for each municipality in the Netherlands using a multi-year satellite soil moisture record. The municipality of Emmen in the eastern part of the Netherlands showed the highest vulnerability to this drought event. At the end of May 2018, the soil moisture conditions in the Netherlands dropped below normal conditions and it stayed there for almost 10 months. Because of the rain storms over the past weeks, soil moisture values are now brought back to normal levels.
However, we have to be careful whether this is sufficient moisture to recharge the depleted groundwater levels. With our operational service we can keep a close eye on these levels at a daily basis. Besides the Netherlands, this satellite derived drought monitoring service is used in other countries, including Kazakhstan, the US and several countries in Europe and Africa.

Poor old Dimitri Payet - having marooned himself at West Ham by taking the unusual step of refusing to play until Marseille come and save him from all this English horribleness, he is now reported in the French media as annoyed with Marseille for not pushing harder to liberate him from his self-imposed isolation! Oops - Has he been double crossed by his former employers?
In reality, Payet is increasingly starting to look like the new Peter Odemwingie. Odemwingie infamously tried to pull a similar stunt on his then employers West Brom back in January 2013. Substitute QPR for Marseille and it's a similar position for Mr Payet just now as Marseille's hopes of picking him up for £15 million less than his market value seems to be well stalled as the Hammers are holding firm and refuse to be bullied by the Gallic tacticians!
Odemwingie ultimately had to return to West Brom to an unamused Baggies fan base and despite a public apology faced endless jeers until he was finally let go at the end of the season. Clearly the whole incident affected him badly as he then endured a disappointing loss of form and slipped from Stoke City to Cardiff and is now plying his trade with mighty Rotherham.
Maybe West Ham should just fast track Dimitri Payet to Rotherham - they could certainly do with him as they are stranded at the bottom of the Championship a full nine points adrift of relegation safety. On the up side, Payet would team up nicely with Odemwingie and they could discuss how not to fashion a transfer to a 'bigger' club!
Yes he is - Squad #13. Lucky for some!
The reason is that the negotiating can only be done by an individual who has power of attorney.

Q: SQLite: How to create a combination of unrelated elements of two queries? I have one table that I need to get some metrics from.
For example I have the following table:

meas_count
skippings
links
extra

10
8
4.2
some

10
9
5.8
some

10
9
5.8
some_2

11
8
4.2
some

11
8
5.8
some

11
9
5.9
some

I need to get a view of an existing table in the following form for further work:

meas_count
skippings
links_min
links_max

10
8
0
4

10
8
4
5

10
8
5
6

10
9
0
4

10
9
4
5

10
9
5
6

11
8
0
4

8
5
6

11
9
0
4

11
9
4
5

11
9
5
6

At the moment I have 2 queries, the results of which I need to combine to get the result I need.
First request:
SELECT meas_count,skippings FROM current_stats GROUP BY meas_count,skippings

Creates the following:

meas_count
skippings

10
8

10
9

11
8

11
9

Second request:
SELECT
LAG(rounded) OVER (ORDER BY rounded) as links_min,
rounded as links_max FROM
(SELECT * FROM
(SELECT ROUND(links, 1) as rounded FROM current_stats)
GROUP BY rounded ORDER BY rounded)

Creates the following:

links_min
links_max

NULL
4

4
5

5
6

I need something like result of sets multiplication...
What query should be executed to get the table of the view I need as a result?
I also have an additional question: is the execution of the second query slowed down due to several SELECTs inside?

A: You can do that by doing an INNER JOIN on the two tables without specifying a join condition.  That will give you every combination of the two sets of rows.
SELECT * FROM
(
    SELECT meas_count,skippings
    FROM current_stats
    GROUP BY meas_count,skippings)
AS one
INNER JOIN
(
    SELECT LAG(rounded) OVER (ORDER BY rounded) as links_min,
 rounded as links_max FROM
    (SELECT * FROM
       (SELECT ROUND(links, 1) as rounded FROM current_stats)
     GROUP BY rounded
     ORDER BY rounded
    )
) AS two;

As for performance, that's really only an issue if there is a better way to do it.  Of course nested SELECTs take time, but the query optimizers in today's SQL engine are pretty good at determining what you MEANT from what you SAID.

Richard Yaco
"As a painter I have the rare privilege to observe, study and intimately know my subjects, their beauty, strength and essence. I seek their elevated dimension, their aura of the sublime. It is a marvelous, thrilling and humbling experience that enlivens and enhances my life."
A native of Santa Barbara, California, Yaco has spent most of his life drawing and painting. Since 1965 he has been exhibiting his watercolors and oils in fine art galleries. He studied fine arts at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. His studies were interrupted by the Vietnam War. He was assigned the unique role of combat artist for the U. S. Marine Corps. After returning to civilian life, Yaco won a scholarship that afforded him the freedom to travel around the United States for two years meeting and drawing portraits of Americans. During his forty-five-year painting career he periodically accepted portrait and conceptual design commissions. Yaco has taught life drawing, painting and perspective theory at college and university campuses.
His works have been featured at the American Gallery (Santa Barbara, CA), San Luis Obispo Art Center (San Luis Obispo, CA), Smithsonian, U.S. Pentagon, Naval Museum and U. S. Marine Corps Headquarters (Washington, D. C.), CBS Television Documentary (New York, NY), Cal Poly University (San Luis Obispo, CA), Santa Barbara Public Library (Santa Barbara, CA), Zantman's Gallery (Carmel, CA), Pepper Tree Ranch Gallery (Santa Ynez, CA), Cody Gallery (Los Olivos, CA), Arlington Gallery (Santa Barbara, CA), Young Gallery (Los Olivos, CA), Jones Gallery (La Jolla, CA), Waterhouse Gallery (Solvang, CA), Gallery 53 (Cooperstown, NY), Walker Gallery (Cooperstown, NY), Albany Gallery (Albany, NY), New York State Vietnam Memorial Gallery (Albany, NY), Johnson Art Gallery (San Luis Obispo, CA), and Legends Gallery (Saratoga Springs, NY).
Recognition has come from a variety of fields for Yaco. He was the recipient of the Stacey Art Scholarship Award in '71 and '72 (with cash prizes); the Bronze Star and meritorious citations for action on the battlefield and an offered commission from the Marine Corps, selected 'Combat Artist of the Year' by the Combat Correspondents Club in 1968; given architectural beautification honors for his commercial designs; received architectural design commissions in the United States, Southeast Asia and South America; secured a two-year mural award with the New York State Bar Association and reproduction contracts with the national greeting card company, Leanin' Tree. He has been featured in several publications and has obtained a book advance from Little, Brown and Company, NY, for 'Strangering' and is seeking another for his Aquarius (water) project.
Yaco is now living in upstate New York. His subjects are as diverse as his medium mercurial. His paintings include his family, neighborhood animals, friends, hills, sea, sky, garden, and "found" objects. His paintings are swathed with confident passes of rich color that lift his subjects from the ordinary to the sublime.
"I came into a beautiful vision when I was born and raised in the harbor town of Santa Barbara, California. My parents have always supported my search to interpret life's beauty with pen, pencil, aquacolor and oil. The first artist to come into my life was my father, who, with his successors, gave me the desire to question and speak a vocabulary of marks and stains. Both 'plein air' and 'life' painting give me the greatest enjoyment."

Injured birds need your help. And so do the volunteers and organizations that save them. Here's what you can do
It is almost a certainty that at one point in our lives, we will encounter a bird in distress. While we should make every effort to leave fledglings with their parents, sometimes birds are orphaned, injured or sick to the point where they need our help. Problem is, most of us are not veterinarians, nor can we afford the cost of taking such victims to a veterinarian. Enter the wildlife rehabilitation centre. Most towns and cities these days are home to some kind soul or caring organization willing to volunteer to accept sick and injured birds and nurse them back to health. Often, kind local veterinarians offer their services to repair injuries or cure an illness and get the bird back on the wing in the wild. It is a humane and laudable tradition.
Still, some might point to the numerous studies that say more than a billion birds are killed by slamming into windows and by predatory domestic and feral cats each year in North America alone. (Yes, you read that right: "more than a billion." Estimates can be hard, but some studies claim the number is as high as two billion.) How can rehabilitating and releasing several hundred wild birds each year possibly make a difference, even when multiplied by small wildlife rehab centres across the continent? It is only a drop in the bucket for the overall conservation of birds.
Does that make rehab centres a waste of time, energy and goodwill? Absolutely not. Indeed, rehabilitation efforts like these serve several valuable purposes in helping and protecting birds.
First, besides providing a caring public with a place to bring sick and injured birds, such centres educate the public about birds and their value, the many threats to their existence, the need to conserve them, and how we as citizens can go about it.
And through necessity and inventiveness, these centres regularly develop new techniques for surgery and health care that can be applied to any rare or endangered birds they receive. Finally, rehab centres taking in distressed birds are also among the first places to detect any new threats to birds such as newly introduced injurious pesticides, uncovered sources of lead-poisoning, oil and chemical spills, and the like.
I have had the pleasure of watching one of these centres grow from a germ of an idea to a robust operation with a brand-new facility. Located in Hudson, Quebec, about 60 kilometres west of Montreal, it is called Le Nichoir ("the nest"). I recently visited the centre and was totally blown away by its impressive new main building and release aviaries. Most of all, I was impressed by the professionalism and dedication of the staff.
Since its founding in 1996, Le Nichoir has been on a farm with a large ancient barn. That first year, the centre took in 478 birds in distress. Today, it takes in more than 1,600 wild birds and handles over 12,000 concerned phone calls and emails annually, making it one of the largest rehabilitation centres for songbirds in Canada. Like virtually every other wildlife rehab centre in the country, Le Nichoir relies on donations from concerned citizens and organizations to pay for its operating costs. (To learn more and/or to donate, visit the centre online at lenichoir.org.)
Wildlife rehabilitation is a local cause, of course, and if you find an injured bird, you need local help. That can be easy to find. Go online and search "wildlife rehab centre nearby." There are dozens of organizations in communities across Canada. Almost all of them are charities funded by generous citizens and staffed by concerned volunteers. They can help you get the bird you've rescued back on the wing. In exchange, they could use your help taking flight: as a volunteer caring for birds, as an "ambulance" driver, as a fundraiser and as a donor of much-needed "seed-money." Your contribution will be instrumental in saving the life of an injured bird and in reducing the toll humans (and our infrastructure) inflict on wildlife, all while raising awareness and supporting caring organizations doing important work.
Forests & Fields:
Surely some of the most watched and beloved of Canada's wildlife species are the birds we see in our backyards. Robins and woodpeckers, hummingbirds and goldfinches intrigue us with their antics or cheer us with...
Donate to support Canadian wildlife conservation!

What waste?! New solutions to handling wastewater in the Bakken
October 10, 2013 DELCommInc	0 Comments Bakken, BioBridge BSS, Double-Tree Inc., North Dakota Department of Health, North Dakota Division of Water Quality, oilfield, wastewater
By Rebecca Colnar

If you have a large population, there's going to be wastewater. When a small community suddenly sees burgeoning growth, wastewater needs to be dealt with quickly and efficiently while adhering to regulations.
"With the increased activity in the Bakken oilfield, and new people moving in, there is a big increase in domestic wastewater," explains Karl Rockeman, P.E., NPDES program manager, North Dakota Department of Health. "The wastewater our department deals with is what comes from living—bathrooms, showers, cooking and cleaning. Each and every housing development, RV park and apartment complex needs to deal with wastewater."
Rockeman provides a summary of waste treatment options. "Typically in North Dakota in the past, we used a facultative lagoon system. It's a good system and is still used by almost all of our cities, but the drawback is that a lagoon system takes up a lot of land. This was not a problem until recently; however with the price of land, and land availability, our communities in western North Dakota are now looking at other options using mechanical treatments.
The three mechanical treatment options:
Store and haul elsewhere. A good option for many of the small facilities. But once the area gets to certain size, it doesn't make sense to haul that much waste, so you need to have to have a place to haul it to.
Treat it and discharge it into surface water. The treatment allows the water to be good enough quality for discharge into a creek or stream.
Let it infiltrate into the soil, similar to a septic system.
Housing facilities are developing their own treatment options. The North Dakota Division of Water Quality has responded by developing different permits for mechanical treatment, which has allowed permits to be issued in a timely manner and provides additional protection for an area.
"The most common system is the septic system. They are easy to design and construct. The drawback is you have to have a certain type of soil to be able to do that," says Rockeman. "We found that larger facilities are using a system with a holding pond where waste can be discharged into the stream after it's treated. We certainly have strict requirements for quality and monitoring/reporting. This method is tightly regulated and inspectors regularly check the facilities."
Rockeman says his department is encouraging cities with wastewater treatment plants to increase their capacity. "That can be the least expensive solution for everyone. However, sometimes because of location, it might not be possible. We are suggesting facilities work together—for instance, an apartment complex, an RV park and a small housing development can share wastewater treatment plans. It's more efficient to band together and share water treatment sources."
Some entities are installing their own separate septic systems with a drain field, a cost-effective method for a small venue. Others, if they have land available, are building facultative lagoons. Lagoons are dependent on weather, though; so if it's hot and windy, the water will be treated in about three weeks. When it's cold and rainy, the process takes more time.
Rockeman says mechanical treatment plants condense space and time by using mechanical blowers and other methods.
"Most RV camps have hook-ups, so each camper can tie in to a sewer collection system," explains Rockeman. "If you look at the facilities, most have lines plumbed in to each individual site."
He's quick to point out that the N.D. Department of Health requires several approvals for crew housing facilities. "The designs of the wastewater collection system and clean water system need to be approved before construction, as does the system for treated water disposal, such as a drain field or surface water discharge. The source of drinking water has to be approved, as well, and includes monitoring to make sure there is clean water for people."
What happens to the sludge? With a typical lagoon, generally it will be 10 to 15 years until the sludge will need to be removed. Mechanical plants have more sludge, which is generally put in a landfill or applied to crop land. Both, however, require a permit through the Environmental Protection Agency in Denver.
The city of Dickinson has successfully used lagoons for water treatment for its pre-oil boom residents. However, with the energy boom continuing in western North Dakota, city administrator Shawn Kessel says Dickinson is currently in the middle of constructing a mechanical treatment plant.
"We started a wastewater treatment master plan in 2009, about the time the oil boom hit, and the recommendation was to move to a rapid infiltration basin system," notes Kessel. "Modifying our lagoon-based system was going to cost around $12 million and be able to accommodate the wastewater of 26,000 people. A population growth study by North Dakota State University showed our area will reach 50,000 people, so we went back to the drawing board and planned a mechanical treatment plant. That's going to be a $30-million plant, and when all is said and done, we'll have $40 million in wastewater treatment upgrades."
Double-Tree's Target Logistics plant near Tioga, N.D.
Kessel said although the price-tag is high, the new facility will be able to accommodate the increase in population, meet ever-increasing federal regulations and be state-of-the-art. He expects the plant will begin operation in June 2014 and will be running full-speed-ahead by September.
"We will still maintain our lagoon system for peak flows and other reasons, but the actual wastewater treatment will no longer be done in the lagoons," he says. The good news is there is demand for the treated wastewater: Dakota Prairie Refining west of Dickson will be using the water for industrial purposes, and it will continue to be used by farmers for irrigation.
Barbara Campbell of Double-Tree, Inc. has been in the wastewater management business for 35 years.
Barbara Campbell with Double-Tree, Inc., located in Bozeman, Mont., has been in the wastewater treatment business for 35 years. In the Bakken, the Double-Tree, Inc. focus is on the development, construction and operation of wastewater treatment plants that provide for the quality treatment of sewage and the recovery of fresh water for reuse. On-site treatment of sewage at man camps and other sites in the Bakken eliminates expensive hauling and pressure on community systems. Reuse in the Bakken brings a new source of water for oilfield activities and reduces pressure on the fresh water resources.
"We previously only worked with municipal wastewater treatment, but got called into North Dakota a couple of years ago because their sewer systems weren't able to handle the capacity associated with new growth," Campbell says. "We met with North Dakota Department of Health officials, including Karl Rockeman, to determine the state's expectations for wastewater treatment and researched the North Dakota regulations. We built a plant near Tioga to treat wastewater from the Target Logistics Tioga Lodge man camp. We have also revamped the system at Capitol Lodge because it wasn't meeting expectations.
"We work with large mechanical treatment plants," she goes on to explain. "Much of the demand for treatment in North Dakota is for smaller volumes and a number of smaller package plants are emerging to meet that need. The primary factor for any wastewater treatment facility is to follow state and federal rules," Campbell says. "A lot of people not in the sewer business don't understand that treatment standards have to be met and discharge regulations have to be followed."

She's impressed that the State of North Dakota has risen to meet the challenge of growing wastewater concerns. "Lagoon systems are dinosaurs, but they do work. The state has stepped up its funding to help small communities address their needs, which is quite proactive. A lot of man camps are outside of the reach of municipal systems, so developers are researching what they can do on site. In selecting a wastewater treatment system for a project, the developer should take into consideration wastewater characteristics, amount of treated water storage required and method of discharge. If the developer is planning to sell treated water for reuse, the developer should be aware of any compatibility issues the buyer may have."
"You can't have people without having sewers," Campbell says. "Sewage treatment is a 24/7 process."
Another company that has seen an opportunity to manage wastewater is Bakken Sanitation Solutions BioBridge BSS, LLC (BSS). "The challenge in the Bakken area is that municipal systems are exceeding the capacity of how much they can treat and safely discharge into existing waterways," explains Keith Ehlers, one of the partners in the business.
"Municipalities that want to expand and meet the growing needs for wastewater treatment have encountered some hurdles along the way that have delayed such efforts," Ehlers says. "For example, the City of Williston was underway with plans for a large expansion to an existing facility along the river when federal agencies decided it was time to redraw the floodplain maps; this then placed the existing facility within a floodplain and required major adjustments to the expansion design. However, even when the municipal facilities across western North Dakota are expanded there will still be a major gap between treatment capacity and demand, because there is a huge amount of wastewater generated by the workforce on the jobsites scattered throughout the rural areas outside of city limits.
"In most cases, the city government is focused on satisfying the needs of their constituents within the city limits. In other words, city governments seem to be considerate to the fact that they should not spend their taxpayers' money on building an oversized facility and accepting the burden of its operations costs to service the rural areas in the county from which no tax revenue is generated. When you combine the temporary uses, such as man camps and RV parks, along with the wastewater generated in the rural areas, there is a lot of wastewater that municipal facilities cannot, or choose not, to treat."
BSS partners (left to right): Dawnette Smith, Keith Ehlers, Tim Petz and Ryan Ivy.
BioBridge BSS is filling the niche. They constructed a facility and opened for business in June after developing a mechanical and biomicrobic system to treat wastewater, and have gone through the state process including permitting and zoning use.
"We have the technology and an operating facility to satisfy demand and provide an alternative to the current practice of land application of wastewater," says Ehlers. "Until now, the options for treating wastewater have been very limited, which has put hauling companies and the regulatory agencies in a tough spot because proper land application is tough to regulate during the summer and in the winter, it is nearly impossible to do and still meet regulatory requirements. Yet that has been the primary solution for the last several years. BSS now has a solution and we are working with regulatory agencies and the hauling companies so that strict enforcement of existing health regulations regarding wastewater disposal can be done without hindering the growth in industry and economy that we are all enjoying."
"Our new technology uses a bio-microbic, fast-treatment system," explains Tim Petz, another company partner. "We can treat 80,000 gallons of wastewater per day and recycle it back into the environment. It takes roughly a day to turn sewage into usable water. Our plant reduces the sewage load and eliminates the problem of truckers driving 100 miles away to dispose of sewage. Because there is a shortage of waste-treatment facilities, some pumpers might not be adhering to regulations and that certainly isn't good for the environment. However, enforcement agencies just can't fine people if there's no solution available. We created a plan to accept it, treat it and meeting the health regulation standards to recycle it. Not only does our plant reduce illegal dumping and truck traffic, but does it in a cost-effective way."
Ehlers notes that BSS is working to reach out to the logistical administrators of venues like man camps, RV parks, and the workforces on rigs and pipelines now that they offer a solution for treating wastewater.
The water treated by BSS has several post-treatment uses. After treatment, it goes into a large pond next to the plant where it's stored, where it can be used as needed. The primary acceptable use is for fracking, where it can be used in the drilling process and thus relieve the burden on aquifers. It can also be used for dust suppression on the roads, and can be sprayed as irrigation on fields used for grazing livestock or farm crops. Last, but not least, the water is clean enough that, with the permits and monitoring already obtained by BSS, can be discharged into the river.
"At this time, the North Dakota government appears favorable to the energy industry, and we feel we've provided a solution to one of the many challenges caused by rapid growth in the Bakken," says Ehlers. "Our system allows enforcement agencies to impose their regulations for a clean environment while giving places like man camps, RV parks and rigs a place to efficiently and economically take their wastewater—and simultaneously reducing the truck traffic of hauling the wastewater to far-away treatment facilities or random fields."
When one looks at the reduced truck traffic (the BSS plant is only 13 miles north of Williston), the beneficial water resulting from the treatment and the cost-effectiveness, it's certainly a win-win for everyone in the Bakken.

Academia Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for academics and those enrolled in higher education. Join them; it only takes a minute:
Publishing articles in not peer-reviewed journals
There are several important journals out there that are not peer-reviewed, such as Network Security. Do such papers provide any value for the author(s), especially for whom want to apply for a PhD program.
publications phd journals peer-review
How does publishing in a not peer-reviewed journal looks like? They accept everything their sent to? Or the editor takes only a rough look like "this paper is on biology, so reject; but the title of this one seems to be in scope - let's accept"? Why do you say this journal is important? What prevents e.g. me from composing some random elaboration using pieces from wikipedia and articles published in that journal and publishing there (I'd have no idea what I;d be writing about)? – corey979 Aug 12 '18 at 9:08
@corey979 If you had taken a quick look at OP's link, you would have seen it's not an academic journal, it's a news/informational/opinion magazine. – user9646 Aug 12 '18 at 12:17
@NajibIdrissi I took a quick look, saw the well-known publisher (so assumed it's about a research journal), and expressed my concerns. I indeed did not dive deeper into what this journal is about. As you noted, it's not an academic journal, but more like a common newspaper - indeed a "magazine" would be more appropriate for it. When one sees the word "journal" in the academic context, it's more natural to think about Nature/Science than your everyday 8-page newspaper circulated around the neighborhood. – corey979 Aug 12 '18 at 13:37
You call them "important journals". Others would call them "magazines". Most fields have them and "recognized experts" can present useful information to practitioners. But they seem to be more "popularizers of field X" than true journals. Their only control is editorial. For a recognized expert, they probably have a bit of value come time for salary and promotion decisions as they may give an indication of the external reputation of a person.
I think that if a person writes a research paper sufficient for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, they would do send it for peer review. They wouldn't submit it to a non-peer-reviewed place at all. On the other hand, a "layman's" or "practitioners" article on the consequences of the research would be suitable for such a journal, but it would be backed by the earlier research publication. Likewise, if a person does some work, but it isn't up to the standards of a peer reviewed journal, but has important applications, it would be good to get it out there for practitioners. But, by definition, it isn't up to par for the peer reviewed journal.
Therefore, for entry to a doctoral program, I think they would have very little value. The problem is in the analysis of the work. If you publish in a peer reviewed journal, someone evaluating your CV can depend on the quality of the work because they know about the system and how it works. They can trust that experts in the field have looked closely at the work and judged it worthy. That isn't the case with non-peer-reviewed work. Therefore they would need to evaluate the work themselves and would not be especially willing to do so.
The Elsevier series you mention is, perhaps, a bit better than a magazine, but not like a true "journal." Publishing here is unlikely to hurt you, as some other things might (predatory journals), but won't help much. You will need the rest of your CV to be adequate to support your candidacy.
Caveat: The above is opinion. It is how I would look at the CV of a candidate, nothing more. You would still have to make your case otherwise.
BuffyBuffy
Publishing in a "news/informational/opinion magazine" is not considered the same as publishing in a research journal. But it may provide value to your CV.
In case of existing faculty, in some places their work includes "teaching, research, and service". Publishing in a "news/informational/opinion magazine" would be counted as "service".
Including some service in your CV when applying for a Ph.D. program should be a positive contribution to your case. Just be careful to list it in a separate category from research papers (if any).

Prizes…the Future of Innovation?
by Joanna Ziemlewski
After the recent oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, many ideas have been pouring in from chemical engineers on how to stop the spill and clean it up. This leads to the question -- should innovative ideas be solicited from the public and for the top solution to be rewarded with a prize? Will competition drive innovation and solve some of the greatest technical challenges facing the world today?
In 1775, Nicolas LeBlanc discovered how to manufacture soda ash from common salt in response to a prize offered by the French Academy of Sciences. The two step process became the basis of the modern chemical industry and is considered a key chemical engineering invention.
Today's $250 billion aviation industry is the result of the $25,000 Orteig Prize won by Charles Lindbergh for the first non-stop flight between New York and Paris. Hundreds of aviation prizes stimulated the advancement of aircraft technology between 1905 and 1935. Nine teams attempted to cross the Atlantic and collectively spent $400,000 to win the $25,000 prize.
In 1996, the first X PRIZE competition was announced, which was intended to encourage research and development in space exploration technology. Inspired by the Orteig Prize, the $10 million prize would be awarded to the first team to build and launch a spacecraft capable of carrying three people to 100 km above the earth's surface, twice within two weeks. The Ansari X Prize, the largest prize in history, had 26 teams from 7 different nations compete. The teams spent more than $100 million combined. On October 4, 2004, the Ansari X Prize was won by Mojave Aerospace Ventures with their spacecraft SpaceShipOne. Recently, private space travel companies SpaceX and Virgin Galactic have made rapid advances and Virgin Galactic is already selling seats for the first commercial space flights, estimated to start within two years.
In 2009, McKinsey and Company released the report, "'And the winner is...' Capturing the Promise of Philanthropic Prizes" in which they concluded that "incentive prizes are a unique and powerful tool that should be in the basic toolkit of many of today's philanthropists. Their recent renaissance is largely due to a new appreciation for the multiple ways in which they can produce change: not only by identifying new levels of excellence and by encouraging specific innovations, but also by changing wider perceptions, improving the performance of communities of problem-solvers, building the skills of individuals, and mobilizing new talent or capital."
The report also states,
Prizes attract diverse groups of experts, practitioners, and laypeople -- regardless of formal credentials -- to attempt to solve difficult problems, dramatically expanding the pool of potential solvers and lower the cost of attempting or recognizing solutions...A core power of prizes derives from their openness: their ability to attract diverse talent, generate unexpected approaches, and reveal unusual perspectives in the face of a problem or challenge."
AIChE and the Rocky Mountain Institute recently held the 10xE competition to enable the radical efficiency gains needed to unleash the next wave of engineering innovation. The top submissions were recognized at the AIChE Spring Meeting in San Antonio and RMI is considering including the the entries for the 10xE casebook it is preparing to spread the lessons learned as design best practices. The July issue of CEP Magazine features the winner and three honorable mention entries. The article is available for free to AIChE members and as a download on ChemE on Demand.
The X Prize Foundation plans to launch 10 new prizes over the next five years with a combined value of approximately $100 million. The current X Prize competitions include:
Archon X PRIZE for Genomics ($10 million) awarded to the first team that can build a device and use it to sequence 100 human genomes within 10 days or less at a demonstrated cost <$10,000 per genome
Google Lunar X PRIZE ($30 million) for the first privately funded team to send a robot to the moon, travel 500 m, and transmit video, images, and data back to the Earth
Progressive Automotive X PRIZE ($10 million) to be awarded in Sept. 2010 to the teams that win a rigorous stage competition for clean, production-capable vehicles that exceed 100 MPG energy equivalent (MPGe)
The X Prize Foundation is also responding to the current oil spill disaster by considering a multi-million dollar competition to help alleviate the effects of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. If developed, the prize could incentivize the development of rapidly-deployable methods for the clean-up of crude oil along our coastlines and within our oceans. It is not currently guaranteed and further details on the development of the competition will be announced as they are available.
Chemical engineers' unique skills and talents provide a strong foundation to develop solutions for effectively dealing with the oil spill. We stand in a strong position to potentially win such a competition should it be developed. More importantly, we have the satisfaction that we contributed to correcting the man-made disaster and possibly averting another one in the future.

Money and Fame are fabulous motivators. Inherently, humans like to have a reason for doing things - you go to school for the promise of a better future, you go to work for the paycheck and you buy the fancy car because of how cool you look in it and to see the faces of everyone else gawking at you as you breeze by. People do research to make advancements, find cures and publish papers. Prizes, as pointed out, would draw some people that wouldn't normally dedicate their free time to such a cause in addition to the career researchers. Prizes also draw attention to an issue (it must be important if they are offering several million dollars for it!). Attention spurs awareness and awareness can change personal decisions and societal norms (i.e. green initiatives). Prizes for scientific advancements may help stimulate further discoveries (as is suggested by the aero examples).
A possible downside though… If cash rewards become too plentiful, will we lose the random acts of invention? There is always the appeal of patenting and capitalizing on an invention, but will people focus too much on the items that have a large and certain payout associated with it? Will people begin to expect massive monetary compensation for innovation?

People can be classified into two groups on the basis of why they work: 1.Those who take part in any work only for money. 2.People who are keen to explore their concerned area of work with interest and passion and not for commercial aspects. Perhaps, people of second type, as mentioned above, enjoy their work to the fullest. As they enjoy their work and since they are passionate and love what they do, the output of their work would certainly be very fruitful.The people belonging to first kind can't enjoy their work to a maxim and probably do some hard-work. And this gives us a clear idea about work and hard-work.
Yes, however, someone could work really hard and still not have any success... Work or hard-work don't necessarily predict the actually outcome or result of the work.

Commuting to diversity
Authors: Dave Maré, Jacques Poot
Culturally diverse locations good for business
Does commuting increase workers' exposure to difference and diversity? The uneven spatial distribution of different population subgroups within cities is well documented. Individual neighbourhoods are generally less diverse than cities as a whole. Auckland is New Zealand's most diverse city, but the impacts of diversity are likely to be less if interactions between different groups are limited by spatial separation.
Studies of spatial sociodemographic diversity generally measure the diversity of local areas based on who lives in them. In this study, we examine measures of exposure to local cultural diversity based on where people work as well as where they live. Our measure of cultural diversity is based on country of birth, with ethnicity breakdowns for the New Zealand (NZ) born. The study also examines whether the relationship between commuting and exposure to diversity differs between workers with different skills or types of job. The study focuses on diversity and commuting patterns within Auckland, using 2013 Census microdata, and using local diversity measures calculated for each census area unit.
We find that commuters who self-identify as NZ-born Europeans and residents born in England (together accounting for close to half of all commuters) are, of all cultural groups, the least exposed to diversity in the neighbourhoods where they live. Overall, commuting to the workplace raises exposure to cultural diversity, and to the greatest extent for these two groups.

AFP troops to augment PNP efforts in Isulan bombing
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has ordered its troops to augment ongoing police efforts against the perpetrator of the second improvised explosive device (IED) attack, which left two people dead and 14 others wounded on Sunday night.
This was disclosed by AFP spokesperson Col. Edgard Arevalo in a briefing at Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City Monday.
"We have alerted our troops to augment PNP efforts in the now ensuing police manhunt operations," Arevalo added.
In line with this, Arevalo said AFP units on the ground have intensified the conduct of checkpoints in all of the town's entry and exit points.
"We have stepped up further patrols and intelligence efforts," the AFP spokesperson stressed.
Also, he called on the public to help suppress these kind of terrorist attacks since the targets are civilians.
"While government security forces were not stopping to arrest the criminals, justice will be more swiftly served to the victims if the people will be with us in this fight by discreetly reporting the whereabouts of theses terrorists. Remember Inabanga, Bohol? We urge our communities therefore to UNITE in these attacks by terrorists targeting the lives of our people, their freedom of movement, and the peace in the towns and cities," the AFP spokesperson stressed.
Arevalo said the military is eyeing the group of BIFF leader Esmael Abdul Malik, a.k.a Abu Toraype, as the perpetrator of the blast.

Happy Valentine`s Day - Love at First Sight?
... Comments
"Whoever loved that loved not at first sight" is a line spoken by the shepherdess Phebe when she falls in love with Rosalind in her disguise as Ganymede in Christopher Marlowe`s play Hero & Leander.
Marlowe`s words were quoted by his contemporary, William Shakespeare, in his play As You Like It. The line, for Marlowe, discusses the influence of fate on life`s choices and became a regular theme in Shakespeare`s plays. Marlowe`s work was more widely celebrated at the time and greatly influenced Shakespeare`s compositions.
On this Valentine`s Day is Phebe correct? Is there such a thing as love at first sight? All of the lovers in Shakespeare`s As You Like It fall in love at first sight: Rosalind is smitten with Orlando when she sees him wrestling, Touchstone falls for Audrey the shepherdess and Celia and Oliver also succumb to that strange infliction of instant infatuation. Was it the atmosphere of Stratford-upon-Avon or is love truly in the air on Valentines`s Day?
"Some people believe that true love is written in the stars", said solicitor and Sutton Coldfield Scout Leader Ian Henery "and that fate overwhelms free will. On Valentine`s Day we believe that destiny has thrown lovers together and our souls recognise a kindred spirit long before logic has processed the message from our hearts. It is useless to struggle, useless to resist: we must surrender to love`s intoxication".
Ian Henery is also a poet and a playwright and he has been commissioned to write a trilogy of plays entitled "Home" for China West Midlands 2020 (chinawestmidlands.com) which is aimed at deeper understanding, greater collaboration and mutual prosperity between China and the West Midlands. The Mayor of the West Midlands, Andy Street, has endorsed the project which aims to strengthen connections with China in business, education, culture, the arts and sport.
The first play in Ian`s trilogy is based on the Chinese Labour Corps who travelled half way around the world to serve Great Britain and it`s allies in the First World War. Between 1917 - 1920 it is estimated that 140,000 Chinese civilian labourers served in France and Belgium and 20,000 of them died. Their contribution has been whitewashed from history.
"I was humbled to be commissioned to write the trilogy" said Ian "because I was very much aware that I needed to b ring back to life the humanity and names of these brave Chinese pioneers for the 21st Century. It is an opportunity for the men of the Chinese Labour Corps to be remembered".
Ian`s first play is currently in rehearsals with Searchlight Theatre and the students of Stagecoach Performing Arts in Sutton Coldfield. In one of the scenes a Chinese labourer falls in love with a British nurse from Birmingham. The inspiration in writing the play came from Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare.
"The play, Hero and Leander" said Ian "by Christopher Marlowe was based on the work of the 6th Century poet Musaeus. The story is much older and is based on Greek myth. The composition is one of iconic separated lovers, full of mythological Roman references and all of it would have been meaningful to an English Elizabethan audience. It was written in the last year of Marlowe`s life, 1593, and I wanted to transpose that into a setting of the West Midlands for the purposes of cultural and business connections with China in the 21st Century".
The year 1593 was a plague year and London`s theatres were closed. Marlowe could no longer write for the stage. Poetry was Marlowe`s only creative outlet. "It was a dark time for Marlowe", explained Ian "and the compositions dealt with tragic subjects but his work was full of lightness, love and wonder at the beauty of the world. This is what I wanted to capture between a Chinese labourer on the Western Front in 1917 and a British nurse from Birmingham".
Ian Henery gave a preview of the poem during the Opening Ceremony of the Wolverhampton Literature Festival on 1st February in the Arena Theatre.
Love At First Sight (for Sim)
When we fall in love, it`s a mystery
What happens to our hearts with just a glance.
Slumbering emotions wake and fly free
Like a bird into a world of romance.
Once in a lifetime this drama takes place,
The theatre of love - the stage has been set:
A stranger, an encounter and a face
Combine for a scene we never forget.
The most beautiful memory of all
We remember - love`s first smile and delight
And, when we`re old and grey then let us recall
Love meets love, the rapture of love`s first sight.

Die Karikatur auf den Oberaufseher Leutnant Johann Nieß ist ein Werk des Künstlers Joseph Anton Koch.

Hintergrund
Joseph Anton Koch wurde auf der Hohen Karlsschule erzogen und litt, wie viele der Eleven, unter dem strengen Reglement und der dauernden Beaufsichtigung, unter der die Schüler standen. Einer der Überwacher war Oberaufseher Johann Nieß. Nieß war 1729 in Bolheim geboren worden und hatte als Soldat den Feldzug nach Böhmen mitgemacht. Bei der Schlacht bei Leuthen war er in preußische Kriegsgefangenschaft geraten, die der Hubertusburger Frieden beendete. Er wurde danach an Herzog Carl Eugen von Württembergs Pflanzschule angestellt und 1773 von diesem zum Leutnant ernannt. Zu seinen Aufgaben gehörte es, dem Intendanten die Rapports zu bringen, den Einmarsch der Zöglinge in den Speisesaal zu überwachen und vor allem Inspektionsrunden durch die Akademie durchzuführen, um verbotene Handlungen zu unterbinden bzw. aufzudecken. In einer Biographie Schillers wird Nieß wie folgt geschildert: Er hatte "einen »Esprit de Detail« und eine Betriebsamkeit ohne gleichen, führte aber auch ein Kommando, daß man in seiner Gegenwart kaum zu athmen wagte. Trotzdem bildete seine kleine, dicke, fast kegelförmige Figur die Zielscheibe aller Neckereien von Seiten der Zöglinge, und es gab kein größeres Gaudium für sie, als wenn es ihnen gelang, den Oberaufseher recht tüchtig zu prellen." Nieß, der auch in Heinrich Laubes Stück Die Karlsschüler vorkommt, starb 1808.

Beschreibung
Joseph Anton Kochs Federzeichnung zeigt den Oberaufseher in Gestalt eines Kentauren mit einer Pfeife im Mund und einer Weinbütte auf dem Rücken. Diese beiden Attribute zeugen von Nieß' bekannter Vorliebe für Alkohol und schlechten Tabak. Letztere führte dazu, dass Nieß sich selten unbemerkt den Schülern nähern konnte, da der Geruch ihn verriet. Der massige Pferdeleib, aus dem Nieß' mit der Uniform samt Säbel bekleideter Oberkörper hervorwächst, wendet dem Betrachter seine linke Seite zu. Die Hinterbeine sind in fast sitzender Haltung eingeknickt, der gewellte Schweif scheint halb auf dem Boden zu liegen. Das linke Vorderbein ist durchgestreckt und etwas nach vorne gestemmt, das rechte, dessen Huf als einziger beschlagen zu sein scheint, erhoben. Nieß' linke Hand hält den Stiel eines Gartengeräts fest, der über seiner linken Schulter liegt und an dem die mit Trauben gefüllte Bütte hängt, mit der rechten hält er seine Pfeife fest, aus deren Kopf ebenso wie aus seinem Mund oder seiner Nase dicke Rauchwolken aufsteigen. An der rechten Seite der Kentaurengestalt und teilweise verdeckt durch deren Vorderbeine kniet eine weitere mythologische Gestalt, eine Art Wassernixe mit wahrscheinlich geteiltem Fischschweif, der sich unter dem Zentaurenbauch durchwindet und diesen auf der linken Seite, kurz vor dem Geschlechtsteil, zu berühren scheint. Die Gestalt trägt am Oberkörper ein Gewand, von dem ein Teil vor ihrem Schoß auf den Boden niederhängt und das lange, offenbar mit Manschetten versehene Ärmel hat, sowie eine Art Haube auf dem Kopf und einen Zwicker auf der starken, gebogenen Nase. In den Händen hält sie ein Notenblatt, von dem sie etwas abzusingen scheint. Ihr Gesicht ist, im Gegensatz zu dem Nießens, der im Profil gezeichnet ist, dem Betrachter fast ganz zugewandt.

Während dieses Wasserwesen bislang nicht gedeutet werden konnte, lässt sich leicht nachvollziehen, warum Koch Nieß in Kentaurengestalt dargestellt hat: Der Anklang seines Nachnamens an den Namen des Kentauren Nessos ist nicht nur ein Wortspiel, sondern erlaubte es dem Zeichner zugleich, sich selbst mit Herakles zu identifizieren, der durch ein von Nessos vergiftetes Kleidungsstück solche Qualen zu erleiden hatte, dass er sich schließlich selbst das Leben nahm.

Das Blatt befindet sich in der Graphischen Sammlung der Staatsgalerie Stuttgart und trägt die Inventarnummer C 89/3610.

Trump Reads Statement Admitting Russia Meddled, Then Ad-Libs: 'Could Be Other People Also'
By Ken MeyerJul 17th, 2018, 3:13 pm
As President Donald Trump walked back his remarks form the summit with Vladimir Putin, he claimed that he misspoke on Monday when he cast doubt on U.S. intelligence community.
Trump expressed doubt yesterday over assessments that Russia meddled with the 2016 election, but he backtracked today and said that he accepts the intelligence community's findings.
Reading off a written statement, Trump said: "Let me be totally clear in saying that — and I've said this many times — I accept our intelligence community's conclusion that Russia's meddling in the 2016 election took place."
And then, in a telling ad-lib, Trump added: "Could be other people also. There's a lot of people out there."
After that, Trump addressed the recent uproar by saying he reviewed the transcript and recognizes the need for some "clarification."
"It should have been obvious, I thought it would be obvious but I would like to clarify just in case it wasn't. In a key sentence in my remarks I said the word 'would' instead of 'wouldn't.' The sentence should have been, I don't see any reason why I wouldn't or why it wouldn't be Russia. So just to repeat it, I said the word 'would' instead of 'wouldn't' and the sentence should have been — and I thought it would be maybe a little bit unclear on the transcript or unclear on the actual video. The sentence should have been, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be Russia. Sort of a double negative. So you can put that in, and I think that probably clarifies things pretty good by itself. I have on numerous occasions noted our intelligence findings that Russians attempted to interfere in our elections."
As a reminder, here's what Trump said about Russia's election interference yesterday:
Reuters: Trump says he meant to say in Helsinki that he saw no reason why it would not be Russia that interfered in elections.
