The U.S. Space Force is looking to broaden the missions for commercial space far beyond launch services and large communications satellites–the two areas where space companies had traditionally focused their commercial efforts.
“There’s a big shift taking place,” Chief of Space Operations Gen. John “Jay” Raymond told a U.S. Chamber of Commerce LAUNCH space summit on Dec. 1. “What has happened is, as launch costs have come down, largely because of commercial services, and as smaller satellites have become more operationally relevant, what used to be commercially viable now is just a subset of what can be commercially viable. There’s a huge opportunity going forward.”
“Today, we leverage commercial launch and commercial SATCOM in a significant way for our joint, coalition forces,” he said. “We also now are beginning to leverage commercial space domain awareness, and there are other missions that will materialize in the future—commercial weather, commercial on-orbit servicing. We see a huge opporunity here to have a fused relationship with industry that will provide great advantage.”
Formed in 2015, the CIC is to integrate commercial satellite capabilities into the Combined Space Operations Center (CSpOC) at Vandenberg AFB, Calif. The eight companies in the CIC are Eutelsat America Corp., Inmarsat, Intelsat General Communications, Iridium Communications [IRDM], MAXAR Technologies [MAXR], SES Government Solutions, Viasat, Inc. [VSAT] and XTAR.
CIC companies provide such satellite capabilities as terrestrial imaging and mobile communications.
Beyond collaborating with industry on services, Raymond said on Dec. 1 that Space Force is also “looking at adopting commercial business practices.”
U.S. Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett, appearing with Raymond at the LAUNCH space summit, said that she and Raymond have been working to speed the acquisition cycle for space systems through congressional authority, the use of digital engineering, and industry collaboration.
Former Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson, Barrett’s predecessor, “cut 10 layers out of the approval process for acquisitions,” from 14 layers to four, Barrett said.
The necessity to speed up acquisition of space systems “is not just [for] ISR and data analytics,” she said. “It’s communications, information, navigation, missile warning alert systems. We need to be buying and building faster. What we’re looking to do is to adopt the best practices from any agency in the government.
“We’re looking around at all the agencies and seeing who’s doing things wisely, who’s got the best systems, because we know we have to move at the speed of electrons, not at the speed of years,” she said, referring to the traditional planning, programming, budgeting and execution (PPBE) acquisition cycle. “The system was built for the old years age, and we’ve got to be moving faster.”
Barrett and Raymond said that digital engineering will be vital for space systems to reduce costs and accelerate fielding under new operational concepts, such as proliferated low-earth orbit (LEO) constellations for missions, such as missile warning and communications.

A House panel proposed to limit the power and influence of the tech giants including Amazon, Facebook, Alphabet, and Apple.
The recommendations from the House antitrust subcommittee could lead to the breakup of tech companies if approved by Congress.
The 449-page report found the tech giants abused their power to stifle competition, leading to fewer choices for consumers and higher costs.
“To put it simply, companies that once were scrappy, underdog startups that challenged the status quo have become the kinds of monopolies we last saw in the era of oil barons and railroad tycoons,” Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., chairman of the House Judiciary Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee, said in a statement accompanying the report. “Although these firms have delivered clear benefits to society, the dominance of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google has come at a price.”
Jim Cramer has said before that he doesn't believe that these companies are monopolies. Does he maintain that thought?

Who Starts Trends?
There isn't really a group of people who decide
whether or not something is cool. Basically, what happens is
that designers and buyers (the people at the stores that buy the
merchandise to sell) use their best judgment and throw a lot of
different looks out there and see what catches on. Basically, WE
decide what's cool by what we decide to buy and wear. What
happens a lot lately is that stuff that is worn on the street by
young people catches on and makes it way onto the fashion
runways. You see, not every fashion idea originates with the
fashion crowd (although they aren't likely to admit it) The
consumer is in charge.

Wood Becomes a Basic Requirement
Banks, the naturalist who accompanied Captain Cook on his first voyage, collected botanical specimens from trees which later were to become important sources of timber. Strangely enough he neither collected, nor commented on, kauri, the timber which was soon to gain an outstanding reputation far beyond the bounds of New Zealand. By the end of the eighteenth century the British Navy was scouring the world in search of shipbuilding timbers. As the forests of Britain had been sadly depleted, ships travelled as far as New Zealand to get masts and spars and timber. The first was the brig Nancy which visited the Thames in 1794 and loaded a cargo of kahikatea (white pine) spars.
By 1810 kauri was known in Sydney as a superior ship-building timber and much of the early settlement around the Hokianga Harbour sprang from timber cutters engaged in this trade. It was an arduous one, not only because of the size of trees to be felled but also because of the primitive nature of the equipment used. The story of this early exploitation of the northern kauri forests is an epic one. The kauri trade both to overseas and to many of the southern ports of New Zealand increased apace. By 1853 exports had risen to 11,000,000 board feet – a considerable feat taking into account the small size of sailing vessels in which the timber had to be exported – and the trade formed 31 per cent of the total value of the exports from the country. Wool at that time contributed 22 per cent and dairy products only 4 per cent, no meat being exported. Five years later, however, the timber proportion of the export trade had fallen to less than 4 per cent. It never again formed more than a small part of the exports, even though the quantity at the height of the white pine trade for butter-box timber rose to close on 100,000,000 board feet. This amount declined to a negligible quantity as native forests were cleared for farming and timber supplies grew scarcer and more remote. Finally, in 1939, the export of native timbers was mainly prohibited. Only since the entry of wood from the exotic forest tree, radiata pine, in the form both of timber and of pulp and paper, have forest products once again figured prominently in the export market.

as the HETG and LETG spectrometers (HETGS and LETGS, respectively).
The readout arrays are a CCD array (ACIS), or a microchannel plate
detector (HRC). The LETG is also often paired with ACIS. The
instruments have different sensitivities, resolving powers, and
wavelength coverages. The HETGS itself has two channels, the Medium
Energy Grating and the High Energy Grating (MEG and HEG).
The Chandra grating spectrometers are fully described in the

I’ve been thinking of buying a new laptop for a while now. After breakfast I ask the waiters if they know of anywhere. They recommend a place and we set off. We don’t find the place, but on the way back we stumble upon a big shopping centre with a whole floor of computer stalls.
Everyone is selling the same computers at the same price. I eventually settle on a Toshiba. It’s a good laptop.
It was a fun experience, although a little strange. Very few of the people spoke English, which is in contract to out experiences of Indonesia so far, where everyone seems to speak good English.

Yes, you read that correctly. In reporting an article about a laser weapon system BBC News has helpfully given us an artists impression of the laser, mounted on a battleship, complete with laser beam in glorious martian-zapping red. Of course in reality this beam would be invisible. So it's an artists impression that's made up, wrong and kinda redundant.

In a global often characterized by chaos, stress, and uncertainty, finding inner peace can seem as an elusive dream. Amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, many individuals seek solace and guidance in a variety of spiritual teachings and practices. One such profound teaching is A Course in Miracles (ACIM), a spiritual self-study curriculum that gives a pathway to inner healing and transformation. In this information, we delve into the essence of ACIM and explore how it can be a catalyst for profound personal growth and spiritual awakening.
ACIM, often known as "the Course," was authored by Dr. Helen Schucman, a clinical and research psychologist, and her colleague Dr. William Thetford, a distinguished educator. The Course emerged through a process of inner dictation, where Schucman experienced a series of revelations and insights that she transcribed into the text. Published in 1976, ACIM has since garnered a passionate following worldwide and continues to inspire countless individuals on their spiritual journeys.
At the heart of ACIM lies a main teaching: the significance of forgiveness in achieving inner peace and awakening to the true nature. The Course teaches our perception of the world is distorted by our ego, a false sense of self rooted in fear and separation. Through forgiveness, we can release these distortions and align with the truth of our divine essence. ACIM emphasizes that forgiveness is not about condoning or excusing the actions of others but recognizing the inherent innocence and interconnectedness of most beings.
One of the key concepts in ACIM may be the distinction between the "ego mind" and the "Holy Spirit." The ego mind is driven by fear, judgment, and attachment to the material world, perpetuating a cycle of suffering and conflict. In comparison, the Holy Spirit represents the voice of love and truth within us, guiding us back to the spiritual essence. ACIM teaches that people can decide to align with either the ego or the Holy Spirit in most moment, shaping our perception of reality and our experience of inner peace.
Practicing the principles of ACIM involves a commitment to mindfulness, self-inquiry, and inner reflection. Through daily meditation, prayer, and study of the Course's teachings, individuals can cultivate a deeper awareness of their thoughts and emotions. ACIM encourages us to question our beliefs and perceptions, recognizing that true healing occurs by way of a shift in consciousness. Even as we learn to forget about grievances and judgments, we open ourselves to the transformative power of forgiveness and love.
Central to the teachings of ACIM may be the indisputable fact that we are in charge of our own happiness and inner peace. Rather than seeking fulfillment through external circumstances or relationships, ACIM invites us to turn inward and relate to the eternal supply of love and joy within us. By releasing yesteryear and embracing the present moment, we can experience a profound sense of freedom and liberation from the constraints of the ego.
The journey of ACIM is not always easy, because it requires a willingness to confront our deepest fears and insecurities. Yet, it is through facing our shadows that people can experience true healing and transformation. ACIM teaches that each encounter is definitely an chance for growth and healing, inviting us to see beyond the top appearances and recognize the divine spark within each person.
Even as we apply the principles of ACIM in our daily lives, we might experience a profound shift in our perception of reality. The Course teaches that miracles are natural expressions of love, arising from a state of alignment with the Holy Spirit. Miracles aren't necessarily supernatural events but instead shifts in consciousness that bring about healing, reconciliation, and inner peace. By practicing forgiveness and extending want to others, we can be vessels for miracles in our own lives and on earth around us.
In conclusion, A Course in Miracles supplies a transformative pathway to inner peace and spiritual awakening. Through the practice of forgiveness, mindfulness, and aligning with the voice of the Holy Spirit, individuals can transcend the limitations of the ego and experience a profound sense of unity and oneness with every one of creation. ACIM reminds us that true happiness originates from within and that people have the power to select love over fear in most moment. Even as we set about this journey of self-discovery and healing, may we remember the timeless wisdom of ACIM: "Miracles are natural. When they don't occur, something moved wrong."

ISA and IL Corn Invest in Conservation via the PCM Program
The Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) and Illinois Corn Growers Association (ICGA) have teamed up to research on-farm conservation practices and the financial implications of their adoption via the Precision Conservation Management (PCM) program.
Initiated through funding from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service – Regional Conservation Partnership Program, PCM combines precision technology and data management with farm business and financials to help farmers manage, adopt, and adapt conservation practices long-term and improve on-farm decision-making.
“Since PCM launched in 2015, we have become a recognized program in our current 16-county service area by helping PCM cooperators strike their own unique balance between environmental stewardship and economic stability,” said Laura Gentry, Director of Water Quality Science for IL Corn. “By working directly with farm families, we are also addressing the most pressing natural resource issues in our local farming communities and providing the most effective way to avoid new government regulations. This new partnership with ISA represents PCM’s greatest expansion opportunity to date and is a natural extension of the core values of these two grassroots commodity associations, bringing the best of both organizations to the farmers of Illinois. This partnership will greatly enhance our ability to reach more farmers, address more natural resource and farm income concerns, and continue building the business case for conservation adoption across Illinois and the entire Midwest.”
The number one goal of PCM is to integrate conservation practices and financial data to help farmers understand how specific management changes can impact both their environmental impact and their bottom line.
“The PCM project is a great collaboration between the Illinois corn and soybean checkoff programs that brings to the forefront regenerative agricultural practices that farmers are using on a large scale on their farms,” said David Wessel, Illinois Soybean Association at-large director and Utilization Committee Chairman. “Showing the economic, environmental, and social benefits of these practices will allow the sharing of knowledge needed for a sustainable future for all. PCM will show how farmers can be a viable part of the solution in addressing climate change and water quality issues.”
“The success of the PCM program has always been the added focus on farmer income combined with on-farm conservation practices. The program has been a success because farmers and farm families have always been a priority. We are excited to expand our focus to include even more Illinois farmers with the partnership of the Illinois Soybean Association. Together, we are going to build better farms, healthier soils, and more sustainable farm families in Illinois,” said Randy DeSutter, IL Corn Growers Association President.
The objectives of PCM are to reduce the environmental impact of commercial agriculture on waterways and soils, reduce the farmer’s risk while maintaining farm business economic viability, and to demonstrate that environmental goals can be achieved without regulation.

Help fight noise pollution by identifying these sound clips collected from urban sensors
Cities are noisy places, and a team of scientists believe that sensors, artificial intelligence, and some generous volunteers can help solve the problem. Sounds of New York City (SONYC) is asking citizen scientists to listen to 10-second sound clips collected by sensors around the city and identify what they hear.
Users are presented with a spectrogram visualization of the audio and a menu of options (“small-sounding engine,” “dog barking,” “ice cream truck”) and have to select all the options that apply. This information will then be fed to an algorithm that will learn to better identify the sources of noise on its own. Hopefully, all this will lead to a better understanding of noise pollution and better tools for fighting it.


At the end of 2010, there were some 1,320,000 cubic meters of radioactive waste in France, according to a new national radioactive waste inventory published by Andra. This represents an increase of almost 13% since the last national inventory was published for 2007.
Nuclear power accounted for almost 60% of this waste, with research contributing the second largest portion of 26%.
The majority of the waste in France in 2010 (830,000 cubic meters; some 63% of the total volume) was short-lived low and intermediate-level waste, which is mainly associated with the operation and maintenance of nuclear facilities. Over 92% of the LILW-SL had been disposed of by the end of 2010; at two facilities the now-closed ‘Centre de Stockage de la Manche’ disposal facility and the Aube facility in Eastern France.
Some 360,000 cubic meters (27% by volume) of the waste was classified as very-low-level waste, mainly originating from operation and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. Almost half of this quantity had been disposed of.
There were also 87,000 cubic meters of long-lived LLW; 40,000 cubic meters of long lived intermediate level waste and 2700 cubic meters of high-level waste in France at the end of 2010. Some 13,929 tHM of spent fuel was also in storage at the end of 2010, although this is not considered a waste.
Andra, the French national radioactive waste management agency is responsible for performing and annual inventory of radioactive materials and waste in France, and comprising information about their type, quantity and whereabouts. Every three years, as part of this general interest mission entrusted to it under the French Planning Act dated 28 June 2006, Andra updates and publishes this information in the National Inventory.
The 2012 edition of the inventory was published in August. It describes the waste that existed on 31 December 2010, as outlined above, and forecasts the expected quantities of radioactive waste for 2020 and 2030.
The total volume of radioactive waste in France is expected to reach 1.9 million cubic meters in 2020 and 2.7 cubic meters by 2030, according to the Andra predictions. The largest constituents of this waste will be LILW-SL in 2020 (1 million cubic meters) and then VLLW in 2030 (1.3 million cubic meters).
There are expected to be modest rises in the volumes of long-lived radioactive waste (both low and intermediate level). HLW volumes are expected to reach 4000 and 5300 cubic meters in 2020 and 2030, respectively.
Beyond 2030, two alternative scenarios have been envisaged. The first scenario envisages the continuation of the nuclear power industry and of the current French strategy of reprocessing spent nuclear fuel.
The second scenario assumes the non-renewal of the current nuclear fleet, leading to the discontinuation of spent fuel processing.

CONCACAF president seeks increased World Cup berths
CONCACAF president Jeff Webb has continued lobbying for the football confederation to be awarded a fourth automatic spot at the FIFA World Cup.
Manchester: CONCACAF president Jeff Webb has continued lobbying for the football confederation to be awarded a fourth automatic spot at the FIFA World Cup.
Currently, only the three top nations from the CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football) qualifying competition advance to the World Cup while the fourth placed team enters an inter-confederation playoff, reports CMC.
However, Webb Friday night said the confederation’s performance at the recent FIFA World Cup in Brazil shows the time had come for an increase in those berths.
“Brazil 2014 was certainly a World Cup to remember and, for CONCACAF, it was a success on multiple levels. Faced against opponents of great magnitude and skill, CONCACAF teams demonstrated that they can compete against any team in the world,” Webb said here.
“As the region gains respect and appreciation in the global football arena, these accomplishments become proof of the tangible development that holds the promise of a fourth full spot in future FIFA World Cups for CONCACAF.”
In Brazil, three CONCACAF nations - Mexico, Costa Rica and the US - made it to the round of 16 before Costa Rica provided the a big shock by beating Greece to reach the last eight.
They were in sight of a semi-final berth when they held the Netherlands scoreless at the end of extra time but went out on penalties in the end.
Webb, also a FIFA vice-president, said he would continue to aggressively pursue development in the confederation, in order to continue expanding the success of the game in the region.
“We have made tremendous progress with regional development. CONCACAF will be investing an estimated 70 percent of its budget over the next 12 months in some 80 development programmes across the confederation,” he explained.

Axe to Grind
INFO: Formed in late 2007, OX-EYE was an instrumental punk duo featuring drums & bass guitar filtered into a scuzzy barrage of overdriven riffs and tempo changes. Their minimal setup involved a vintage Rickenbacker bass fed into a hulking 8×10 cab, matched by a stripped down drum set without needless frills like pesky extra toms & multiple timbres of cymbal tones. It was pure distortion channeled into a raw dosage of grinding force, blasting from one song to another with little regard for dynamics or experimentation, and it was a formula that worked. From bars to basements to kitchens, OX-EYE shows were energetic and outright fun, and we patiently waited for a physical release that unfortunately never came.
In 2014, we approached Joel about getting the masters to the only recording session they ever had, a quickly-captured session from 2008 engineered by an IU student in the university recording studios. Although technically a “clear” recording, it failed to match the intensity and energy that OX-EYE’s live performances held, so we set to work remastering the audio to better fit the aesthetic and sound of the band. After some digital post-production, we ran it through a vintage 1/4″ tape machine with the levels set to “holy shit” and were rewarded with a downright filthy final master that both we, and the band, were thrilled with.
Finally released almost 10 years later, Axe to Grind features all 7 of OX-EYE’s tracks recorded to lo-fi Type I tapes, lacking titles, lyrics, and any other form of unnecessary intricacies that dilute this cocktail of unbridled punk filth.

Benefits Of A Systems Integrator
I Can Integrate This System Myself….Or Can I?
Why a Systems Integrator Is A Critical Component of Your Next Material Handling Project
Let’s say I am starting to plan my next material handling project, which looks as if it will have some conveyor, scanners, a pick to light area, a couple of label printers and other miscellaneous equipment. The system also must interface with our existing WMS, ERP or DRP system (generically known as the host).
The integration can be done in one of three ways: I can do it myself, I can tell the hardware supplier that has the most content that they are the systems integrator, or I can hire a company that specializes in systems integration. Which way should I go?
This is never an easy question to answer. It’s always tempting to do your own integration. After all, how hard can it be? You already know what the system should do - it’s just a matter of getting everything installed in the right order. And if you don’t have the time to do it, the hardware manufacturer will have a project manager that can take care of it.
However, there is much more to consider here than just installing everything in the correct order.
At the very start of a project, you need to determine that the system you’re installing will in fact be capable of producing the results you require. This is a very important step (and one that is often overlooked). A systems integrator will work closely with you to make sure your new system meets your requirements.
Next, you need to be sure that your data is being examined correctly. What is the velocity of each SKU? What is the cube of each SKU? What are the special handling requirements for each SKU by unit of measure (pallet, case, inner pack, and each)? What does the order profile look like for each unit of measure? These are just a few of the questions that need to be asked and a systems integrator will review all of this data with you to make sure you have the information you need.
Once the SKU data is known, the mechanical portion of the material handling system is designed. Remember when you determined that you would have some conveyor, a pick to light area, and so on? This is where the value of having a systems integrator involved really becomes noticeable. The integrator becomes responsible for ensuring that the mechanical portion of the system functions correctly with the material you are trying to move in the facility.
You now need to determine the business rules that affect the system. For example, do orders have to ship complete? Do orders have to maintain line item integrity when they are loaded on the trucks/pallets? What are the transactions that need to be sent to the host? Are there lot requirements? Are there QC requirements?
The list of business rules can be quite long and may take many interviews to complete. But again, if you have a systems integrator, it is up to them to make sure all of the correct questions are asked. The integrator then takes one last look at the mechanical design of the material handling system to ensure that it still functions correctly in accordance with these rules.
The system is now designed and all that is left to do is issue purchase orders, right?
Not quite. There is still work to be done to determine how to make each component of the system function as part of an integrated material handling system (hence the name systems integrator).
The integrator works with all of the different controls and software groups that are involved and ensures that each party clearly understands their scope and responsibilities in the project. The integrator also has the final say in which system or systems a given function resides (for example, whether it should be done in the WMS, WES, or PLC).
From this point until the very end of the project, the integrator provides traditional project management functions and coordinates the installation and commissioning of all of the equipment. Finally, the integrator tests all aspects of the system to make sure it meets the requirements and business rules that were outlined at the beginning of the project.
To recap, a systems integrator will:
- Analyze your data to determine the SKU characteristics
- Design the mechanical material handling system
- Determine the business rules that affect the material handling system
- Validate that the mechanical design of the material handling system can support the business rules
- Procure the material handling equipment
- Ensure that the software for each component (WMS, WES, PLC, etc.) all function together
- Coordinate the installation and commissioning of the material handling systems
- Perform the integration testing to ensure that all of the components work correctly and meet the business rules and requirements
As you can see, there are many things to consider when taking on a material handling project and making certain it’s a success. It’s in your best interest to have a systems integrator on board that can take responsibility for delivering an integrated material handling system that meets all of your expectations and goals.

The air packaging bag is mainly composed of four parts:
1. Air chamber : It is the main body of the air packaging bag. It is the most important part of the performance of the airbag packagiing . Just inflating air into the air chamber, it will be an important support to protect the product.
2. Non-return valve: Why do you need to fill the air packaging bag without sealing it? That's because the air packaging bag has a non-return check valve. The role of the check valve is to control the air from entering and leaving, and there is only one for each air chamber . The check valve is equivalent to a one-way door , the air is allowed to enter the air column, but cannot escape. Therefore, after filling, the air packaging bag will not be sealed and will not leak .
3. Common air channel: This airway is the only master air channel, it is close to the check valve of each air chamber. When inflating, the air gun is aimed at the common airway opening, and air passes from the public airway through the check valve, and then reaches the air chamber.
4. Sealing lines: Sealing lines are those lines between air chamber, generally only 1-2 mm, used to isolate each air column .Even if a single air chamber breaks, it will not affect other air chambers.
The width of each air chamber is the same. At present, the general air chamber width of INTPKG is 2cm, 2.5cm, 3cm, 4cm, 5cm, 6cm. The wider the air column, the better the buffer protection effect. Among many inflatable products, the cushioning effect of the air column bag is relatively the best.

Utopianism and Reform in Vegetarianism: The Humanitarian League Socialists and their Forerunners
Are you already subscribed? Login to check
whether this content is already included on your personal or institutional subscription.
Between the late Nineteenth century and the First World War, the cultural memory and the basic set of arguments of ethical vegetarianism, still evoked today by animal rights’ activists, crystalized into a solid narrative. In the British movement, whose most active figures – like Henry S. Salt, founder in 1891 of the Humanitarian League – were part of the broader socialist area, there was a constant tension between alternative political attitudes and goals, between reform and utopia. Crucial elements of this tension can be traced to the forerunners who inspired them and who belonged in particular to the period of the French Revolution.

I just returned from a 4-day trip to Riviera Nayarit and I can honestly say, it’s now one of my favorite destinations. I’ve been to Puerto Vallarta many times but until this trip, never ventured farther north. Riviera Nayarit is a nearly 200 mile stretch of coast and contains charming little towns such as Punta De Mita, Sayulita, and San Francisco. Getting to the most southern part of this area is less than a 30 minute drive from the airport, so it’s an easy destination to get to.
Here are 7 reasons why it’s now one of my favorite places and why you need to put the Riviera Nayarit on your short bucket list!
1. Riviera Nayarit is a Safe Destination In Mexico
While I have never felt unsafe traveling in Mexico, I recognize that it is a concern for many people, especially with the recent travel warnings. There are currently several warnings in place for certain parts of Mexico, however Riviera Nayarit doesn’t have any advisories for American citizens. U.S. Government employees are prohibited from visiting other areas in Mexico, but are not restricted to visiting here. In fact, a recent survey of visitors to this area gave a score of safety of 9.7 (out of possible score of 10).
All the resorts we visited had security guards at their entrances and you are not allowed in unless expected by the resort.

Middle East Monitor / May 16, 2020
Israeli security officials fear an outbreak of a new “violent” Intifada in the occupied West Bank due to an economic crisis that would undermine the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Despite the limited spread of the coronavirus in the occupied West Bank, it has had a tangible negative impact on the economy that might be deemed an incentive for an uprising if Israel implements the annexation plan, Israeli security officials fear.
The expected Intifada could undermine the PA and the sovereignty of Mahmoud Abbas in the occupied territories.
According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the Israeli security officials were asked to provide a security evaluation of the potential consequences of the annexation plan.
Depending on Palestinian data, Haaretz reported that Israeli security officials found that the main reason that pushed the Palestinians to carry out anti-PA measures in the last two years related to economic issues.
One of these issues is the Israeli freeze of the PA’s tax revenues under the pretext of paying the salaries of the Palestinians killed or imprisoned by Israel.

Market Report Description
The Global Industrial Oven Market size is expected to reach $12.3 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 4.6% CAGR during the forecast period.
Industrial ovens are ovens that are used for heating and drying in industries. In addition, they are used in a variety of sectors for heat treatment, curing, drying, and hardening of a variety of materials, from the design stage through the final manufacturing stage. Moreover, they are commonly used in the tempering of metals and glass. Depending on the end-use application, industrial ovens are also available in a number of temperature ranges, sizes, and designs.
Curing, drying, tempering, annealing, or baking of materials, parts, or final products are all common industrial applications for industrial ovens. With the use of a conveyor line, these ovens can be utilized for small as well as large-volume applications, in batches or continuously. Every stage of processing, including aging, annealing, tempering, bonding, baking, homogenizing, stress-relieving, sterilizing, hardening, normalizing, preheating, and others require the usage of an industrial oven.
Some of the key trends of the overall Industrial Oven Market are the rapid use of continuous line industrial ovens, which allow numerous activities to take place simultaneously throughout the processing stage, and less reliance on workforce skills. However, market growth is projected to be hampered due to a lack of understanding among end-users about the differences between an industrial oven and an industrial furnace.
End-users are rapidly shifting to continuous industrial ovens over batch industrial ovens, as continuous ovens do not need repetitive loading and unloading, or heating and cooling between batches and labor and energy demands are generally substantially lower.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
COVID-19 is a contagious disease that first appeared in China's Hubei province in late December 2020, in the city of Wuhan. Exporters in both advanced and emerging economies have faced a number of obstacles as a result of the global coronavirus pandemic. As many states and governments throughout the world strive to combat COVID-19 with various methods, the challenges faced by exporters of industrial oven' goods are expected to persist for the coming years. Guidelines like Curfew enforcement and social distancing on a worldwide scale have an impact on domestic and foreign production, thereby hampering the market growth.
Market Growth Factors:
Technological innovation and fast-paced Industrialization
In recent years, emerging countries have witnessed increasing industrialization and urbanization. Due to this, many industries demanded equipment that can quickly dry and cure materials. In addition, the increasing usage of industrial ovens rather than industrial furnaces in numerous end-use industries has been witnessed recently. The demand for industrial ovens is increasing as people become more aware of the benefits they provide. Some of the key trends of the market are increased adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-enabled machinery with temperature control sensors and POC analyzers, as well as increased investments in smart factories. Moreover, it is expected that the demand for fabricated metals in the automobile industry would increase in the future.
Growing usage in different end-use industries
Various medical gadgets and instruments can be sterilised in industrial ovens. Medical and surgical components such as staples and metal rods, scalpels, scissors, and syringes are among the other sorts of medical equipment that can be decontaminated utilizing industrial ovens. In addition, Industrial ovens utilized in the healthcare business must be able to precisely control the temperature to make sure that all bacteria, germs, viruses, and some pollutants are eradicated, ensuring that medical equipment is safe to use. Oven innovation is considered advantageous in the pharmaceutical sector. It's because the coatings on pills are baked in industrial ovens.
Marketing Restraining Factor:
Concerns among end-users about heat-loss and irregular heating
Batch ovens, unlike conveyor ovens, usually contain only one oven chamber. If a cool down period is necessary, the product must either remain in the oven chamber until the required temperature is reached or be removed. In either case, heat loss occurs, requiring more energy to raise the oven temperature up to a specific level for the next batch to be processed. Additionally, batch ovens are filled manually the majority of the time, which can lead to unequal product distribution is the oven chamber. During the heating step, if parts are placed unevenly, they may attain somewhat varying temperatures. Uneven heating caused by unpredictable part placement can be mitigated with custom product trays intended to accommodate parts in certain configurations.
Based on Process, the market is segmented into Continuous and Batch. In 2020, the Continuous segment acquired the largest revenue share of the Industrial Oven Market. This is because continuous style ovens provide the benefits of an industrial oven that can operate at a constant rate, resulting in more cost-effective options for high-volume production. The continuous process has a significant advantage over the batch approach in terms of operational consistency. These ovens eliminate the reliance on labor and streamline the manufacturing process, allowing for maximum output at a low cost, which helps the sector thrive.
Based on Industry, the market is segmented into Food Production & Processing, Automotive & Aerospace, Chemical Processing, Electricals & Electronics, Pharmaceuticals and Others. The Automotive & Aerospace segment obtained a significant revenue share of the Industrial Oven Market in 2020. In the aerospace sector, industrial ovens are used for a variety of mission-critical tasks like heat treating, composite curing, and finishing, among others. There is a vast selection of industrial ovens available to fulfill the industry's specific application needs. Manufacturers give the option of customizing to perform specialty heat treatment and drying applications on aircraft, space vehicles, guided missiles, aircraft engines, propulsion units, and associated parts in addition to the regular models available.
Heating Medium Outlook
Based on Heating Medium, the market is segmented into Infrared Heaters, Electric Heat, Fuel & Gas-fired and Others.

Handwoven 100% Linen, 185cm plus rings and fringes.
Thapa has a natural coolness. The linen fiber is strong and unpolished.
The twill weaving allows the yellow color to dominate the frontside and the off-white color to dominate the backside. The handmade fringes complete the design perfectly.
Thapa is a comfortable, light weight sling, with great strength. The linen is breathable and has a cooling effect on warm babies.
The linen fabric is crisp, but will become very soft when it is broken in. It will stretch a bit the first time it is used, so it can be necessary to tighten the sling. After wearing it a few times, the ring sling will be perfect!
To honor our amazing weavers, we always name our slings after the weaver who made the first sample. This sling is woven in Nepal by Rita Thapa, so it is named Thapa.
A Löft product is made by humans, not machines. No hands are perfect and no threads are endless, so there might be visible thread shifts, small knots and other irregularities. This is the beauty of a handwoven product. Every piece is unique.
To limit the use of plastic and unnecessary packing, your ring sling/wrap will come in an handwoven organic drawstring bag. When you wear your baby on the front, you can carry diapers and food in the drawstring on the back.
When your carrying days are over, we recommend that you pass on the ring sling/wrap to other parents or make it into your favorite scarf, embracing all the memories of you carrying your baby.

Effect of 'SAFE' on improving girls education in Zambia :A case study of Kabale Basic and Lwitikila Girls secondary school of Mpika, 2002-2005
The main purpose of the research was to assess the effect of SAFE on improving girls' education in Zambia by examining the interventions put in place by SAFE at Kabale Basic School and Lwitikila Girls Secondary School. The research assessed the impact of SAFE'S interventions on the academic achievement of girls in each of the two schools. Further, the research assessed the contribution of SAFE'S interventions to girls' access to education, retention, and to girls' assertiveness, self-awareness and leadership skills. The study population for the study was 1,110 people for both schools, and the sample size was 110. The study population comprised head teachers, deputy head teachers, senior teachers, heads of department, class teachers, SAFE overseers, SAFE pupils, non-SAFE pupils and SAFE committee members, who included some members of the school community. SAFE members constituted the largest number of respondents in the survey. There were also more female than male respondents in the entire sample. The response rate to the questionnaire was 100 percent. The study employed the quantitative and qualitative techniques of data collection. Primary data collection instruments included the questionnaire and the interview guide. Focus group discussions were also conducted. Secondary data was obtained from pupils' record cards, attendance registers, academic progress reports, school reports and other official school documents. The study found that SAFE had pursued interventions in HIV/AIDS, reproductive health, academic activities, life skills and giving material support to girls. SAFE performed well in improving girls' academic performance especially in Mathematics and Science. This was evidenced by the good Grade 9 and 12 examination results for girls who had been attending tuitions conducted by SAFE. SAFE also provided material and financial support and lobbied for girls' bursaries from cooperating partners. There was a rise in the number of girls who received bursaries from 2002-2005. In the area of reproductive health, there was a steady decline in unwanted pregnancies and early marriages, which was attributed to the education and sensitisation interventions employed by SAFE in each of the two schools. There was a rise in the reporting of cases that involved sexual abuse and forcing girls into early marriages. In addition, there was a rise in the number of girls who had voluntary counselling and testing after education and sensitisation conducted by SAFE. Statistics of the increased number of SAFE girls who attained leadership positions indicated that SAFE had equipped girls with life skills such as assertiveness and self-esteem. However, findings also revealed that SAFE did not have adequate material and financial resources to fully satisfy the needs of the children who needed support. Besides, SAFE membership was relatively small in comparison with the total girls' enrolment in each of the two schools. SAFE had largely achieved its objective of improving girls' education in terms of access,retention and academic achievement.The study recommended that SAFE should ensure that it recruits more members. SAFE should consider extending its membership to the middle basic section rather than restricting membership to the upper basic and high school levels only. It was also suggested that SAFE should consider introducing commercial subjects, carpentry and other technical subjects in girls' holiday tuitions and involve more girls in tuitions for Science and Mathematics. SAFE should consider lobbying for sponsorship at tertiary education for girls who successfully complete their high school education. It was also suggested that SAFE should conduct from time to time campaigns similar to the 'Go-Girls Campaign' to encourage more girls to reenter and remain in school.

The Pros & Cons of Immigration Reform How it affects job growth and wages. 216 Hart Senate Office Building. The bill addresses border security, interior enforcement and worksite enforcement, and authorizes increased funding levels for SCAAP, the establishment of a temporary guest worker program and earned paths to citizenship. Now that immigration reform is back in the news, it is worth looking back at what exactly happened in that last failed effort. That must change.
Thank you, Chairman Leahy, Ranking Member Grassley, and Members of the Committee. It’s been over 500 days since the Senate approved a bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform plan, and if the GOP-led House brought it to the floor this afternoon, it’d probably pass.
A call for a comprehensive immigration reform plan was included in a post-2012 election "autopsy" report by the Republican National Committee. A mass legalization of 11 million (or more) illegal immigrants and expansion of green card and temporary worker admissions, especially when combined with promises of future enforcement, rather than strengthened enforcement, will not cure most of the problems with our immigration system. A key aspect of any meaningful comprehensive immigration reform will have to address the pressing situation of the many millions of immigrants who have long called the United States their home, but who are currently conscripted to the shadows because they are undocumented or have fallen out of status. "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" Is Not a Solution . During World War II, for example, the U.S. government specifically funded the Bracero Program in an effort to recruit more Latin American migrant laborers to …
The last thing a liberal proponent of immigration reform wants is liberal immigration reform. Remember that paradox, and the insanity at the border makes some sense. Here are the three core principles of real immigration reform: 1. The comprehensive part means they intend to grant amnesty to every current and future illegal - including felons. The former Democratic hopefuls aren’t exactly monolithic in their approach to immigration… Introduction. We are the only country in the world whose immigration system puts the needs of other nations ahead of our own. Real immigration reform puts the needs of working people first – not wealthy globetrotting donors. (Even if Trump hasn’t been doing this “for a million years,” immigration was a signature issue of his year-and-a-half presidential campaign, and, if Trump is so unfamiliar with the meaning of “comprehensive immigration reform,” it’s curious that he used that exact phrase.) Immigrant Policy Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 S.2611 (Comprehensive Summary of S.2611)On May 25, 2006, the U.S. Senate passed S.2611 by a vote of 62-56. A nation without borders is not a nation. I am pleased to join you today to discuss the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS’s) efforts on immigration and why I believe the time has come for Congress to pass commonsense immigration reform so that everyone plays by the same rules. What is "comprehensive immigration reform" To libs comprehensive immigration reform means: blanket amnesty. The border between Mexico and the United States has served as a labor route for more than a century, usually to the benefit of both nations.
