The book The Sunflower by Simon Wiesenthal is about a Jew in a concentration camp in the height of World War II in Germany. One day when he is working in a hospital, Simon is asked to forgive a dying Nazi soldier, Karl. He is faced with a dilemma that everyone has to encounter at some point in their life, but this is different than forgiving a family member for lying to you. Simon has to decide right then whether or not to forgive a murderer of many innocent Jews. Simon Wiesenthal wrote this book because he wanted to reach out and find closure for his actions.
This quote reveals, Elizabeth’s genuine understanding and faithfulness in her husband. She believes that John carries the burden of his own guilt, which is a lucid indication that he has a sense of morality. John feels this guilt, as he recognizes and takes responsibility for the sin he commits, against his wife. Additionally, due to John’s guilty conscience, he also realizes the value and tenderness that his wife brings him. He accepts his misdoings, and never utters a blame against his wife, for his actions.
As modern-day observers of the events of the Second World War and the persecution of the Jewish people, we somehow always feel compelled to read literature of the era, particularly when it is with regards to the Holocaust. The Holocaust an era, that has somehow imprinted within our hearts, the pain endured by the many victims and survivors. This is overwhelmingly highlighted in Tomi Reichental’s I was a Boy in Belsen and Thomas Buergenthal’s A lucky child:
World War 1 changed everything for me. After the war ended, I was walking around to see what damage has been done to our country. While I was walking around all I heard was kids and adults crying and screaming people someone in their family like their mom, dad, brother, or sister was killed in the war. A few hours have gone by and people started to clean up the mess that was made during the war. So then I realized that my dad was coming back from the war
In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, he uses repetition and rhetorical questions to show the reader how horrible of a time the Holocaust was. Repetition was used throughout the book consistently, but the read really sees it when Wiesel explains the first night at Auschwitz. All the horrible things he encountered and hatred he saw that first night was shown to the reader in a meaningful. “Never shall I forget” was used seven times, but one of them really stuck out to the reader. Wiesel explains the how “Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky” (Wiesel 34).
Fortunately, this has not happened is thousands of years, until now… Tony was a normal boy in the small town of Derry, Ohio. He went to school, he had a day job everything was normal. Until one day. It was the fifteenth of June in 1982 when he got the news, and his whole world was turned upside down.
Although to begin with he may be a loving father to Danny, he still has some anger built up within himself. After moving into the hotel, he gradually begins to become more irritable with people interrupting him while he is working in the main lobby. At the same time Jack is writing his book, he appears to be seen in a red sweater, that once was worn by the previous caretaker who murdered his family at the Overlook hotel. Jack becomes overwhelmed by the isolation, in which he begins to change into the psychopath killer. The film would drag on with no change in a character, to make the movie
The book Night by Elie Wiesel portrays him as a young boy living and surviving through one of the most horrific moments in history, the Nazis and all the concentration camps including Auschwitz, Buna, and Buchenwald. As a young boy Elie grew up in Sighet, a small town in Romania. Elie and the rest of the town, including his father mother and siblings were captured by the Germans and were taken to many of the concentration camps. While at the camps Elie was left with his father and experienced many of the horrors of the camps. Throughout the book Elie and his father saw some of the awful things that happened at the camps including people burned, hanged, murdered, beaten, starved, and put to work under terrible conditions.
The Holocaust. A short, unimaginable period, of just over twelve years, where almost 6 million Jews were murdered by the German nazis. Overall, 17 million victims were killed and thousands were forced to work in inhumane conditions and live in concentration camps. Elie Wiesel, a victim of the Holocaust, having been deported at the age of 12, is one of the few survivors who lived to tell their story. He has written many books and given many speeches about his experience, but they all convey a similar message, that we as a population, cannot remain silent but to stand up for the indifferences and the horrendous events of this world.
Very few people some how escaped the camps and lived life scarred for life. Others died fron all the terrible conditions and from being murdered. Some survived till it was over and lived to tell the story of there terrible conditions and what they been through during the holocoust such as Elie Wiesel. The author of "Night" a book about his experiences from the Holocoust and how he survived and seeing everyone die write in front of him. He wrote it about his life and talked about his very sad way of life during World War II.
Lost. Cold. Dark. Night, a memoir written by Elie Wiesel, encompasses all of these things. Elie is a young Jewish boy living in Sighet and learning about God when the German officers send his family to various concentration camps throughout Poland and Germany including Auschwitz, one of the biggest concentration camps during the Holocaust.
“Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed” (Wiesel 43). Eliezer Wiesel was a Jewish prisoner in concentration camps during World War II and the Holocaust. His memoir Night follows his experience at many of the Nazi work camps such as Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Buna. His survival was dependent through many close calls and coincidences that allow him to survive. His first close call comes when he and his father enter Birkenau.
“For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.” - Elie Wiesel. Wiesel was a Jew, Holocaust survivor, professor, and writer. As soon as Elie stepped out of the concentration camps after being liberated, he could not find the words to portray what he had just witnessed. Speechless, Elie took the next few years to recollect his thoughts and opinions, and find the right words to describe the horrors beyond the walls of the many concentration camps he was put through.
It just so happens that Elie Wiesel was one of the strongest survivors. So, what was Wiesel trying to prove? Well, he insisted on sharing what he went through and explained the vast loss of faith he suffered from due to the concentration camps. In Night, Elie Wiesel uses characterization, imagery, and tone to show the emotion and detail of his experience in such a tragic event. Elie Wiesel asserts characterization in the book Night by really giving details about each individual that was urgent at this time.
Over the course of World War Two, over six million Jewish people were murdered. Killing factories known as concentration camps were spread throughout Europe, and worked tirelessly to exterminate Jews. The deadliest of all was known as Auschwitz, and it is where a fifteen year old Elie Wiesel was taken in 1944. He remained in concentration camps until liberation in 1945. By the end of World War Two, Wiesel had lost his faith in God and humanity after experiencing unspeakable horrors, such as the execution of children and the death of his father.

As much as there’s a waryness about too much technology, this bit about disabled folks using telerobotics to do useful things made me think that we might see some unique things down (and perhaps on) the road in our own lives.
In this “use case” devices are being controlled by people who can’t do physical things in the real world in cafes. Driving trucks, running construction equipment; those and every other job that AI might take could be done by these folks, as the ZH article notes. It is all dependent on high tech, high-speed communications, and other reliable infrastructure, of course, and that might not exist down the road. More on this to follow.

It seems so long ago, but just a couple of years back we were introduced to reality dad Jon Gosselin’s rebound girlfriend Hailey Glassman, and this photo surfaced of his new love passed out on a potted plant.
Now Snooki, who is deep in the bowels of Seaside Heights, a particularly meaningless and chaotic world, has also been intimate with potted vegetation while inebriated (“potted” is the key word here, most drunk people have found solace in somebody’s expertly pruned shrubs at some point in their party career.)
The Jersey Shore world appears to be imploding.There’s been constant fighting, both Vinny and The Situation have stormed out (with only the Situation returning,) and Snooki has definitely not been sticking to her low-alcohol diet plan. Last weekend she not only got so shit-faced that she couldn’t walk, but she also channeled Hailey Glassman’s iconic photo when she stumbled into a a potted tree, and proceeded to dance / make love to it. TMZ has the video.
If Jersey Shore ever gets cancelled, there’s still Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.

Tallahassee VW and Audi owners worry about recall
Kent Wimmer thought he was doing the earth-friendly thing when he bought a new, supposedly green-technology Volkswagen Jetta TDI in 2013.
He’d been reluctant to buy a diesel in the past because as a natural resources major he’d remembered that the soot from diesel contained more nitrous oxide than gas-burning cars.
“But they were claiming this was clean diesel technology,” Wimmer said.
An environmental activist who is the northwest Florida representative of Defenders of the Wildlife, Wimmer was upset when he learned that VW had pulled off one of the biggest scams in the history of the Federal Trade Commission.
“I was disappointed,” Wimmer said. “My car was barely over two years, and still under warranty, and I’m going, ‘What the heck is going on?’”
VW had gamed the emissions software on its turbocharged direct injection diesel engines to make it look as though the engines were belching out less nitrous oxide than they actually were. The cars met EPA standards during tests but produced 40 times the allowed amount under actual driving conditions.
Testifying before Congress last October, Michael Horn, the CEO for Volkswagen’s U.S. operations, said the defeat device was designed for the purpose of fooling the testers.
The FTC filed suit in March, and VW proposed a $14.7 billion settlement this week that still needs to be approved by a federal judge before some 475,000 U.S. car owners and leaseholders will see a payout of some kind.
VW is putting up $10 billion to buy back VWs and Audis built between 2009 and 2015. Owners and leaseholders can either sell the cars back to VW or opt to have their car installed with an EPA-approved emissions upgrade. The remaining $4.7 billion will be used to help clean up the environment and promote zero emission technology.
About $570 million of that settlement would go to nearly 28,000 Florida VW and Audi owners whose cars qualify for the refund or the upgrade, the Florida Attorney General’s office said.
The final settlement is still months away, but Tallahassee VW and Audi owners are already trying to find out where they stand. “I get four to five calls a day,” said Ken Brokaw, service manager at Capital Eurocars.
VW owners tend to have a strong emotional attachment to their vehicles.
“I absolutely love it so much,” semi-retired physical therapist Debbie Foster said of her 2012 Jetta SportWagen. “I am just so depressed that I might have to sell it.”
Foster and Wimmer are both concerned that they might not get their investment back if they sell their cars back to VW. And they wonder if the yet-to-be-determined upgrades would rob the cars of their performance and gas mileage.
“I know they are going to quote unquote repair it, but they don’t know how to repair it yet, and they don’t know how such a repair would affect performance,” Foster said.
They have two years to make up their minds, under the settlement plan, but Foster feels uneasy continuing to drive her Jetta.
“I have really bad feelings driving around a car that could be spewing up to 40 times the legal emissions. I am green. I am a green person. An environmentalist. I am a composter. I am a recycler. I am a reuser,” she said. “As much as I love and want to keep my car, if one option was to do nothing I don’t know if I could live with myself really.”

text: Love visiting the bay….even if it’s rainy. We began to walk out to the little island; didn’t get there due to rain and wind. But I love the contact with the elements, despite it being somewhat uncomfortable. Wind surfers struggled with the wind and rain was spitting, but not heavy. And the tide was right out, more than I’ve ever seen it. There were sand bars where usually it’s water. Moreton Bay has many seagrass fields and consequently has a dugong population (manatees) that is very dependant on the stuff…their main food source. We could see the edge of the beds with the tide being out. Sand here is a redish colour, due to the pumice stone formed from the ancient volcanic lava flow. Mountains to the north and south are the remnant volcanic plugs and overflows, and the soil in this area is very red, hence the name “Redlands Shire”.The sky on our visit was a lovely grey with showers moving across from the islands….always good to connect with nature, even when it’s a bit unpleasant.

Moday, 04. September 2017 – The informal welcome
30 Startups and 11 weeks ahead – finally we were able to officially welcome this years Kickstarters in Zurich. They came from all over the world; France, South Korea, USA, United Kingdom, Finland, South Africa, India, Ukraine, Ghana, Italy, Ireland, Singapore and Germany to participate in the first joint event at Impact Hub Zurich, where they had the chance to get to know each other as well as the whole Kickstart Team. After a first short introduction to the program, the startups headed to their first vertical-sessions with the respective vertical-leaders. The fun part came in the afternoon, when they got to explore Zurich on a cool foxtrail across the city.
— KickstartAccelerator (@ks_accelerator) September 4, 2017
Tuesday, 05. September 2017 – The city reception
‘The guild of the entrepreneurs’ – thats how City of Zurich Mayor Corine Mauch named our 30 startups at the official welcome reception at ‘Zunfthaus zur Waag’, a historic building in Zurich which was home to the linen weavers’ guild back in the 13th century. She thanked all startups for their courage in participating in the accelerator and encouraged them to stay in Zurich – a city with a high quality of living, great infrastructure, small but international at the same time. A great second and warm welcome for our startups!
Wednesday, 06. September 2017 – The business welcome
For once it was not the startups pitching but the corporate partners. In this third welcome event at Kraftwerk, it was time for the partners to present themselves to our startups followed by a networking apéro, where first business exchanges happened.

At the XXII Olympic Winter Games, which open tomorrow and run through February 23, business aircraft passengers and crew visiting the Southern Russian city of Sochi will see the results of massive infrastructure investments–estimated at $50.7 billion–made since 2008.
Airports, Heliports and FBOs
New developments at airports and heliports, including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers of FBOs; AIN’s Annual FBO Survey Reports; and news, issues and concerns regarding fuel cards, fuel prices and alternative fuels.
In response to an RFP issued last year, the city council of Livermore, Calif., has signed an agreement with Hayward, Calif.-based Five Rivers Aviation to establish a new FBO at the San Francisco airport and take over fueling operations from the municipality. The proposed plan calls initially for a 25,000-sq-ft facility that would include the terminal and hangar space for transient aircraft, as well as for tenant businesses such as aircraft maintenance (which is not currently available). Two subsequent construction phases would each add another 25,000 sq ft of hangar space.
Lufthansa Technik subsidiary Bizjet International is expanding its FBO services at Tulsa International Airport with the refurbishment of one of its hangars into a new terminal. Expected to open this month, the relocated FBO in Hangar 29 on the north side of the airport will have more than 33,000 sq ft of heated aircraft storage space along with a 2,500-sq-ft terminal that will include a passenger lounge, onsite car rental, pilot lounge, kitchen, a large A/V-equipped conference room, snooze rooms, showers and crew courtesy cars.
W Aviation, already operating at Florida’s Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) since last fall from the former Execuport facility, expects to break ground this spring on a new FBO. Its current, temporary facility recently underwent a $250,000 refurbishment and is base for 16 turbine aircraft ranging from the first G650 in southern Florida to a King Air 90, as well as the 12-jet fleet of sister charter provider Windsor Jet. The company has acquired an additional seven acres of airport land to combine with its existing three-acre leasehold.
Avjet expects to break ground this month on a new FBO at Seoul Gimpo International Airport. According to the company, plans for the facility call for enough hangar space to accommodate four BBJ-sized aircraft, along with four large-cabin business jets such as the Bombardier Global. The project is a partnership between the California-based aviation services provider and Korea Airport Corp. Avjet Asia was awarded a 10-year contract to manage the facility, which is expected to be completed in October next year.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency can now process non-U.S. citizen general aviation flight arrivals at New York’s Long Island MacArthur Airport. Arrivals are processed through the agency’s newly renovated facility at the airport’s main terminal between Gates B14 and B15. In operation from 9 a.m. until 11 p.m. seven days a week, the facility can clear a combined maximum of 20 passengers and crew per general aviation flight.
Volo Aviation has been awarded the contract to manage the FBO at MidCoast Regional Airport at Wright Army Airfield, a joint public- and military-use airport located within Fort Stewart, 35 miles from Savannah. In 2007, several local agencies partnered to build a 13,825-sq-ft terminal to house both the military and civilian operations at the airport.
Michigan-based aviation services provider Avflight has taken over the lease of the former Flower Aviation and fueling operation of America Jet, previously the two FBOs at Salina Regional Airport in Kansas. It will operate the two facilities as Avfuel-branded Avflight North and South. The addition marks Avflight’s ninth owned and operated location. The Salina Airport Authority board of directors approved a new 20-year lease for the former Flower Aviation property, with two 10-year renewal options for it and the other properties in the agreement.
Wilson Air Center has begun the second phase of expanding its FBO at Houston Hobby Airport. Phase one consisted of a total renovation of its existing facility, including pilots’ lounges and snooze rooms, a presidential suite and more than 80,000 sq ft of hangar space. The next installment will include the construction of a 25,000-sq-ft hangar, capable of accommodating the G650, along with a new office complex. The project is scheduled for completion in the spring.
The city of McKinney, Texas, has completed changing the name of its airport to McKinney National Airport from Collin County Regional Airport. The rebranding accompanies the city’s $25 million purchase of the lone FBO on the field, formerly operated by Cutter Aviation, from Schuler Development, along with several more hangars and improvements. The Dallas suburb planned the changes as a cornerstone for economic development of the airport as well as a means to erase the annual $600,000 subsidy the city has provided it.

BINGEN, Wash., May 14 (UPI) -- Insitu Inc. said the recent demonstration of its ScanEagle unmanned aircraft technology at Fort Rucker, Ala., was successfully conducted.
Washington state's Insitu, in partnership with the U.S. Joint Forces Command's Joint Systems Integration Laboratory, successfully flew its heavy fuel engine variant ScanEagle unmanned aircraft system along with demonstrating its digital video encrypted data feed.
Insitu's ScanEagle is designed to strengthen situational awareness for troops in combat zones by providing next-generation intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance data including in low light environments during the night.
Officials say the successful demonstration for Army personnel additionally showcased the ScanEagle's interoperability with the military's One System Remote Video Terminal.
"We're gratified by the strong interest in ScanEagle that we received from participants in the Fort Rucker demonstration," Insitu Vice President of Business Development Alvin Jackson said in a statement.

Chapter 31: Refractory Metals
The refractory metals include niobium, tantalum, molybdenum, tungsten, and rhenium. These metals are considered refractory because of their high melting points, high-temperature mechanical stability, and resistance to softening at elevated temperatures. This article discusses the composition, properties, fabrication procedures, advantages and disadvantages, and applications of these refractory metals and their alloys. A comparison of some of the properties of the refractory metals with those of iron, copper, and aluminum is given in a table. The article concludes with a brief section on refractory metal protective coatings.

Over the span of one’s life, one visits different doctors for different concerns.
Without the healthcare data, doctors begin the treatment from the naught each time, making the medical system highly inefficient.
It exposes doctors – they may issue the wrong medication without knowing the patient’s history, perform unnecessary tests, thus wasting precious time and endangering the patient’s life.
Online healthcare data saves lives.
Evolution of healthcare data
Online healthcare records enable centralized and smarter access to healthcare and save money across the entire medical ecosystem.
In India, there’s still a lack of unified healthcare record management but in developed countries, Electronic Medical Records (EMR) have changed the way traditional medical records and kept and managed.
The United States of America has been a pioneer in the field of health information management (HIM).
Officially, the health information industry exists since 1928 when the American College of Surgeons (ACOS) looked to better the medical records being created in the clinical settings. HIM trends continue making news with Electronic Health Records (EHR).
EHR are electronic medical records that focus on the complete health of the patient – going beyond clinical data in the paper charts. Doctors get to know a patient’s complete treatment and medical history just by looking at his/her EHR.
But how this EHR evolved and reached the stage where it is today.
Historical healthcare data facts
Let’s dig into the history.
#1 1962 – the year when the first EHR was created.
Dr. Lawrence Weed is credited with the development of the first EHR system. It was at that time known as a clinical information system. However, it took long for EHR to be adopted regularly in practice.
#2 1970 – the year when the government introduced EHR.
According to an article in the AMA Journal of Ethics, the federal government “began using EHR … with the Department of Veteran Affairs’ implementation of VistA, originally known as Decentralized Hospital Computer Program (DHCP)”.
#3 1980 – Concerted efforts were made to increase the use of EHR.
In the mid-1980s, the Institute of Medicine (IoM) did a study on paper record usage and the results were published in 1991, with revisions in 1997.
The report mentioned EHR, “as one of seven key recommendations for improving patient records, and to propose a means of converting paper to electronic records.”
The 80s saw a good rise in healthcare software development. MPI (Master Patient Index), a database of patient data across different departments of a healthcare organization, also saw huge success.
#4 1996 – HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) was introduced.
Today HIPAA is considered an important compliance, but it came into existence only two decades back.
As more computer systems entered the healthcare realm, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act were introduced to protect patients’ data.
Violation of HIPAA compliance is expensive. The penalties are based on the negligence level and can range from $100 to $50,000 per violation (or per record), with $1.5 million per year of the maximum penalty for violations of an identical provision.
#5 2004 – ONC (Office of National Coordinator) is formed
President George W. Bush, in his 2004 State of the Union Address, called for computerized health records.
Thus, the necessity to convert medical records to EHRs across the nation was felt and to this effect, Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) of Health Information Technology (IT) was formed in 2004.
#6 2009- HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) Act was introduced
This act was introduced in the year 2009 to encourage organizations to embrace the usage of electronic records.
The aim was that all organizations should switch to electronic records by 2014, after which penalties will be issued for those still on paper records.
These penalties were, however, put down as transformation was found to be a slow and phased process. But it was an effective step in improving the EHR adoption.
It was implemented for bettering patient security and for boosting the effectiveness of HIPAA compliance.
#7 2013 – Improvements in HIPAA and HITECH
With an increasing number of hospitals adopting EHR, HIPAA and HITECH were revised and improved in 2013. There were provisions for patients having more control over their data.
HIPAA audits have helped it evolve into a comprehensive act for safeguarding patient data. Today, hospitals have to stick to strict guidelines of data security or face consequences.
Be a part of the modern healthcare future!
The amount of global healthcare data is expected to increase dramatically by the year 2020. Early estimates from 2013 suggest that there were about 153 exabytes of healthcare data generated in that year.
However, projections indicate that there could be as much as 2,314 exabytes of new data generated in 2020. Statista
Advanced use of healthcare data is impacting the healthcare industry like never before. Big data will have significant impact in the healthcare industry in the coming years as:
- Across the complete care lifecycle, data is empowering the healthcare providers and patients equally.
- New and progressive consumer brands are bringing a revolution in the healthcare sector.
- Data protection technologies like Acronis backup cloud are providing unparalleled opportunities to the healthcare brands to keep their critical medical data safe.
The digitalization of healthcare is no longer an option with the modernization of health systems. Technology has been lending a hand in delivering all services. Then there’s no reason that the healthcare industry is left behind.

What pain killer is best for injury?
Drugs That Tame Inflammation
- Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin)
- Naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox, Naprosyn)
Which type of pain warns the body of injury?
Acute pain is normal pain that warns that you’ve been hurt, Fraifeld says.
What do athletes take for pain?
Painkillers such as opioids, marijuana and CBD, which is a derivative of marijuana and hemp, are all medications used by athletes to manage pain. While all help to alleviate chronic pain and anxiety associated with athletics, they differ greatly both in terms of short-term and long-term effects on the body.
How do you know if the pain is from an injury?
Where you feel pain makes a big difference in determining whether you have an injury or you’re just sore. If you can pinpoint the exact area of pain, or the pain involves a small area that hurts when pressed on, you may have an injury — especially if the small area is on a bone, joint or tendon.
What medicine is best for injuries?
PRICE is the key to the early management of most kinds of injuries, but you may also need medication for pain or inflammation. Acetaminophen (Tylenol, other brands) may be the best choice for the first day, since it will reduce pain without increasing bleeding.
What drugs are anti-inflammatory?
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
- Aspirin (available as a single ingredient known by various brand names such as Bayer® or St.
- Ibuprofen (known by brand names such as Motrin® and Advil®).
- Naproxen sodium (known by the brand name Aleve®).
Is my muscle torn or just sore?
Muscle soreness should not last longer than five days. Seek medical attention if the pain doesn’t subside after a week, the injured area feels numb, or you are unable to walk or move your arms or legs. These symptoms could indicate a bigger issue, such as damage to your joints or muscles.

Condition Data Collection programme
From early 2017 to Autumn 2019, the Education Funding Agency’s Condition Data Collection (CDC) programme will visit every government maintained school in England to collect data about the physical condition of school buildings and how they are managed. The CDC programme is the successor to the Property Data Survey (PDS) and will collect detailed condition, contextual and building management data to provide an evidence base which will support delivery of successful education capital policy. It is one of the biggest condition data collection exercises in the UK public sector, collecting data on 22,000 educational establishments.
Detailed guidance for hosting the visit by the surveying company and completing the questionnaire is available on the CDC web site www.gov.uk/guidance/condition-data-collection-programme-information-and-guidance and schools are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the content of the CDC Guide for Schools document and the Guide to completing the School Questionnaire.
HCC Building Management Team have put together supplementary guidance, CDC School Questionnaire – where to go for information and guidance, which points schools to sources of information for answering each of the questions.
CDC School Questionnaire
In addition, schools have access to the Corporate Property Database herts.technologyforge.com which is another source of useful information.
If you have any questions which cannot be answered by any of the above, please email Schoolsbmt@hertfordshire.gov.uk

Studies were conducted to examine the effects of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and related-aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs) on the DNA synthetic profiles of adult rat hepatocytes in primary culture. Scheduled DNA synthesis in control cultures peaked at 64 h and was negligible by 72 h after initial seeding of freshly isolated hepatocytes. A concentration-dependent inhibition of DNA synthesis was observed in 1-day old hepatocyte cultures treated with BaP (0.3-30 μM) for up to 28 h. Comparable inhibitory responses were observed in cultures treated for 24 h with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodi-benzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, 0.01-1 nM) or 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF, 0.01-1 nM), but not in cultures treated with perylene (0.01-100 nM) or benzo[e])pyrene (1-1000 nM). Ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity was highly inducible in hepatocytes challenged for 24 h with BaP (0.3-3 μM) or TCDD (0.1-100 nM) with peak induction observed at 12 or 36 h after chemical challenge, respectively. To determine if DNA synthesis inhibition by these agents involved aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-related events, subsequent experiments were conducted to examine the interactions of α-naphthoflavone (α-NF) and ellipticine (ET) with BaP and TCDD in this cell system. Pretreatment with α-NF (10 nM) for 24 h prevented the inhibitory effects of both BaP (3 μM) and TCDD (1 nM), while ET (0.01 nM) pretreatment selectively antagonized the effects of BaP (3 μM). Pretreatment of hepatocytes with TCDD or TCDF (1 nM) for 24 h before the onset of DNA synthesis followed by challenge with BaP (3 μM) partially antagonized the inhibitory response to BaP. These data implicate AhR-related signal transduction in the inhibition of hepatocyte DNA synthesis by BaP and related AHs and suggest that in the case of BaP, metabolism by cytochrome P450 to toxic intermediates contributes to the inhibitory response.

Why is my cat losing hair on its legs?
Why Do Cats Lose Hair on Their Hind Legs? Hair loss occurs in response to many factors, including poor nutrition, autoimmune disease, fungal infections, allergies, and parasites. 1 Cat hair loss can be partial or complete, and the patterns can vary or be symmetrical.
What causes cats to get bald spots?
The most common cause of bald spots in cats is flea infestation! These pesky critters are extremely common and cats can experience a condition called ‘flea allergic dermatitis’ or FAD for short. FAD is caused by a hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to flea saliva.
How can u tell if a cat has ringworm?
The clearest and most common clinical signs of feline ringworm include the following: circular areas of hair loss, broken and stubbly hair, scaling or crusty skin, alterations in hair or skin color, inflamed areas of skin, excessive grooming and scratching, infected claws or nail beds, and dandruff.
What is wrong with my cats back legs?
The most common cause of rear limb paralysis in cats is a blood clot that goes to the back leg, called a saddle thrombus or arterial thromboembolism (ATE). This clot blocks blood flow to the affected limb(s). A clot in the back leg suddenly causes the cat to be unable to put full weight on the affected leg.
Why is my cat losing hair on her belly and legs?
A cat will sometimes lose hair in the genital region, the underside of the tail, on the inside of the hind legs and on the underbelly. Pattern baldness in cats is caused by a variety of underlying conditions, including hormone imbalance, skin infections, allergies and parasites.
Is it normal for cats to lose patches of fur?
Skin conditions can cause cat hair loss Some skin conditions or infections could cause your cat to be losing fur. Take a look at a couple of possible conditions that could be causing this: Your cat may have an infection such as cat ringworm (a fungal infection) An infestation of parasites such as mites or fleas.
How can I treat my cat’s hair loss?
Regular Bathing. Using a cat shampoo with natural ingredients, regular bathing is a great at-home treatment for cat hair loss and can get rid of your cat’s excess hair. This reduces shedding and will also keep them from over-grooming certain areas.
Do cats lose hair when stressed?
Understanding your cat’s emotional state is the first step to avoid problems. * Excessive shedding: Cats in stressful situations will often have a normal physiologic response of excessive shedding. A cats muscles tense during times of stress and the follicles of some hairs, referred to as telogen hairs, are released.
Can mites cause hair loss in cats?
Mites are tiny parasites that can infest the hair follicles and skin of cats, leading to hair loss, irritation, and itching. The two most common types of mites that affect the skin of cats are demodex and cheyletiella mites. Demodex mites are often an overlooked cause of hair loss in cats.
How does a cat get ringworm?
Cats get ringworm when they come into contact with the fungus that causes the infection. That fungus can live on many surfaces, including blankets, grooming tools, and towels. It also lives on an infected human or animal’s skin and hair.
Should I be concerned if my cat is losing hair?
Occasionally, alopecia is nothing to worry about, such as the small areas of hair loss many cats develop in the area between their ears and eyes. Other times, it can be a symptom of serious underlying disease.
Is it ringworm or something else cat?
Ringworm is commonly identified by the circular red sores it causes on the skin. This can be more difficult to see in cats than humans since cats are completely covered in fur. Comb through your cat’s fur to see if you can find any areas of skin that are reddened, show new sores, bumps, or inflammation.

Amy Locurto and Angie Arthur are the co-founders of I Heart Faces, a website featuring weekly photo challenges that focus on the face. Amy and Angie have built a huge community around I Heart Faces, and recently published their first Blurb book – you can preview the book and purchase a copy in the Blurb Bookstore here. (The photography is spectacular by the way, and the book is beautifully designed.)
We caught up with Amy and Angie last week and got the scoop on how it all started, how they published their first photo book, and more.
You both founded the popular I Heart Faces photography community. Tell us what inspired you to do this, and what I Heart Faces is all about.
We are two moms who connected through our shared love of blogging… and we also adore taking photographs of our children! After blogging for some time, we began to realize that there really wasn’t an online site where photographers could show off their portrait photography. After talking for awhile, the idea of I Heart Faces was born and we have been enjoying the wild and crazy ride ever since!
I Heart Faces is a website that features weekly themed photo challenges that focus on the face. During our challenges, we spotlight a Guest Photographer Judge who enjoys picking out their favorites as the top photos for that week’s theme. We also feature weekly tutorials, giveaways and hands-on photo editing opportunities. I Heart Faces has grown into a community of avid, dedicated photographers who are there to encourage, grow and learn with each other, and we think that’s a beautiful thing!
Could you tell us more about the book, and how it came together?
We go through each photo entry every single week which means we have literally seen thousands of beautiful faces over the past year. After viewing the amazing photos that were entered each week, we decided that creating a book to showcase some of our favorite photos would be super-fun! With Blurb’s support, we then sponsored a special weekly challenge in which the winners would be featured in our book. The photos that were featured were absolutely amazing and it was awesome to see the book come together with such a variety of contributions.
What was your favorite part of the bookmaking process?
Designing the book was our favorite part. With Blurb BookSmart®, we were able to easily create a custom design that worked just for us. Choosing which photos looked best together on a spread was really fun. Of course, getting the actual book in our hands was even better!
If you could bestow one photography tip on the world, what would it be?
Practice, practice, practice!! From our own experiences and from the unique experience of watching thousands of photographers enter our weekly challenges, we have learned that practice makes a huge difference in your photography growth. We have seen many photographers grow from just being point-and-shoot snapshot takers into amazing photographers who have developed their eye, who have grown creatively and who have learned the basic elements of photography that make their work shine! Practicing daily on perfecting your craft makes a huge difference.
We’re big fans of your weekly photo challenges. Which photo challenge has been your favorite?
Not long after we started I Heart Faces, we featured a “Self-Portrait” theme that quickly became our favorite theme ever. We found it difficult to enter our own self-portraits into that challenge and then, after going through the entries, began to realize that almost every other participant was having a difficult time with that as well. All we could see while looking at the photo entries was just how beautiful each and every one of them were…no matter the color of their skin, eyes or hair and no matter what size they were. They were just absolutely gorgeous! By the end of the week, emails began pouring in with touching stories about how we had helped change their perspective on getting in front of the camera. It was great to be a part of such a fantastic week where so many women gained confidence in themselves and realized how special it is to their children that they be in the photos as well!
We welcome all photographers (beginners, amateurs and professionals) to enter our weekly challenges! Be sure to stop by I Heart Faces to see what all the fun is about. :)

Pathogenic negative strand RNA virus such as Ebola virus, measles virus, RSV and mumps virus derive their membrane envelope from the host cell. Infected cells produce new virus particles, which are thought to assemble and bud off the plasma membrane. Viral matrix proteins have been shown to be instrumental in this process and it is thought that multiple macromolecular interactions between the matrix protein and membranes, the nucleoprotein, which packages the RNA genome into ribo-nucleoprotein particles (RNP) and the cytoplasmic tails of viral glycoproteins act together to drive assembly and budding. There is also amounting evidence that enveloped viruses such as filo viruses (Ebola) and retroviruses (HIV) utilize the cellular protein machinery implicated in the formation of, multivesicular bodies, a process, which resembles virus budding morphologically. The aim of the proposal described here is to better understand the structural requirements of virus assembly, which may ultimately lead to the identification of new targets for anti-viral agents. We propose to solve the three dimensional structures of two Ebola virus matrix protein complexes:
(i)the matrix protein in complex with the cellular budding factor Tsg 101 and
(ii) the matrix protein in complex with a fragment of the nucleoprotein. The elucidation of the molecular interactions will give insight into the assembly and budding mechanism of other pathogenic negative strand RNA viruses. The applicant will enlarge and strengthen her background in protein chemistry. This comprises general protein chemistry techniques, including expression studies protein complex formation and characterization; important skills, which are instrumental for a scientist in the post genomic, are. Furthermore, the applicant will have the opportunity to learn protein crystallography and acquire a strong and solid expertise in the field of structural biology. In return, the applicants experience in molecular biology will benefit all other members of the host laboratory.

The Bobby Jasoos actor claims she was unaware about her co-star’s bio
Dia Mirza’s Bobby Jasoos is set to hit the screens this weekend. Vidya Balan will share screen space with Ali Fazal for the first time in Bobby Jassos.
When we asked her how she felt about working with the new actor, The Dirty Picture actor said, “I haven’t seen any of his work before. I had no clue absolutely. But Sahil and Dia were convinced. As long the director believes in an actor it is completely fine and Samar was very sure Ali was right for the part. I didn’t want to get into casting. The team shares all the details with me. Then we had this workshop before shoot where Ali,me, the rest of the cast,Samar and Sanyuktha were there. So that really helped to break the ice and as long as the ice isn’t broken a better result doesn’t come forward. I didn’t consider the pairing was unconventional or anything. He is an actor and after working with him I got to know that he is a very good actor. Very good looking. So I think it’s interesting. Every time there is a new pairing, its interesting.”


Nuclear waste is recyclable. Once reactor fuel (uranium or thorium) is used in a reactor, it can be treated and put into another reactor as fuel. … You could power the entire US electricity grid off of the energy in nuclear waste for almost 100 years (details).
Can we generate electricity from nuclear waste?
Scientists have developed new technology that uses nuclear waste to generate electricity in a nuclear-powered battery. A team of physicists and chemists from the University of Bristol have grown a man-made diamond that, when placed in a radioactive field, is able to generate a small electrical current.
How do you turn nuclear energy into electricity?
A reactor core contains many fuel assemblies. The heat produced during nuclear fission in the reactor core is used to boil water into steam, which turns the blades of a steam turbine. As the turbine blades turn, they drive generators that make electricity.
What can we do with nuclear waste?
Disposal of low-level waste is straightforward and can be undertaken safely almost anywhere. Storage of used fuel is normally under water for at least five years and then often in dry storage. Deep geological disposal is widely agreed to be the best solution for final disposal of the most radioactive waste produced.
Can nuclear waste be repurposed?
Used nuclear fuel can be recycled to make new fuel and byproducts. More than 90% of its potential energy still remains in the fuel, even after five years of operation in a reactor. The United States does not currently recycle used nuclear fuel but foreign countries, such as France, do.
How bad is nuclear waste?
Nuclear waste is hazardous for tens of thousands of years. … Most nuclear waste produced is hazardous, due to its radioactivity, for only a few tens of years and is routinely disposed of in near-surface disposal facilities (see above).
Why has Germany stopped nuclear power?
In September 2011, German engineering giant Siemens announced it will withdraw entirely from the nuclear industry, as a response to the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, and said that it would no longer build nuclear power plants anywhere in the world.
Why did Chernobyl explode?
The Chernobyl accident in 1986 was the result of a flawed reactor design that was operated with inadequately trained personnel. The resulting steam explosion and fires released at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the environment, with the deposition of radioactive materials in many parts of Europe.
What is the biggest disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?
Nuclear energy produces radioactive waste
A major environmental concern related to nuclear power is the creation of radioactive wastes such as uranium mill tailings, spent (used) reactor fuel, and other radioactive wastes. These materials can remain radioactive and dangerous to human health for thousands of years.
Why is nuclear energy bad?
Nuclear energy has no place in a safe, clean, sustainable future. Nuclear energy is both expensive and dangerous, and just because nuclear pollution is invisible doesn’t mean it’s clean. … New nuclear plants are more expensive and take longer to build than renewable energy sources like wind or solar.
How long until nuclear waste is safe?
This most potent form of nuclear waste, according to some, needs to be safely stored for up to a million years. Yes, 1 million years – in other words, a far longer stretch of time than the period since Neanderthals cropped up. This is an estimate of the length of time needed to ensure radioactive decay.
Is nuclear waste green?
Nuclear plants also produce low-level radioactive waste which is safely managed and routinely disposed of at various sites around the country. It is a solid. … The radioactive byproducts of nuclear reactions remain inside the fuel. No green goo anywhere.
Why does the US not recycle nuclear waste?
A major obstacle to nuclear fuel recycling in the United States has been the perception that it’s not cost-effective and that it could lead to the proliferation of nuclear weapons. … Those countries realized that spent nuclear fuel is a valuable asset, not simply waste requiring disposal.

State police patrols target DUI offenders
Illinois State Police District 22 conducted alcohol countermeasure enforcement patrols during December in Alexander County.
Lt. Michael Alvey, the interim commander of District 22, has announced statistics that were compiled from the patrols.
Alvey noted in a news release that the patrols allowed the state police “to focus on preventing, detecting and taking enforcement action in response to violations associated with impaired driving and illegal transportation or consumption of alcohol or drugs.”
The following violations and enforcement activities were reported from the patrols:
Driving under the influence, DUI, citations, one. Other alcohol/drug citations, one. Occupant restraint offenses, two.
Registration offenses, three.
Driver’s license offenses, two. Insurance violations, two.
Total citations/arrests, 18. Total written warnings, 37.
“Alcohol and drug impairment is a factor in more than 30 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois,” Alvey stated.
“There is one alcohol-related traffic fatality every 53 minutes in the United States,” he added.
Alvey stated that the alcohol countermeasure enforcement program “allows officers to work even harder at removing dangerous DUI offenders from the road.”
The project was funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Jason McCartney MP told the Leader of the House of Commons that Huddersfield, Slaithwaite and Marsden has many wonderful old Mills and Warehouses which would be ideal locations as the Government looks to relocate Departments and QUANGOS to the North and Midlands.
Jason McCartney MP
May we have a statement on the Government’s plans to relocate Departments and quangos to the north of England and the midlands? That is something I very much support— not least so that I can extol the virtues of St George’s warehouse in Huddersfield, Globe Mills in Slaithwaite, and Crowther Mills in Marsden, all of which would be fantastic locations for those Departments. They would also be affordable, not least because they are ideally located on the TransPennine rail route.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons
The Government are keen to level up across the whole country. That is an important ambition, and a demand of the British people, as we saw at the last general election. I will pass on my hon. Friend’s request for more detailed information about the Government’s plans. As levelling up is something we will be very proud of, I am sure the Government will endeavour to make everybody fully aware of it.

Wintershall sends out a positive signal for domestic crude oil and natural gas production
- Opening of the new global drill core warehouse in Barnstorf, Lower Saxony, underlines the future viability of oil and gas as energy sources
- Seele: "Domestic production makes an important contribution to supply security and the development of globally recognized technology and environmental standards"
Domestic production is becoming increasingly significant in the global race for crude oil and natural gas. Natural gas produced in Germany covers about 15 percent of the country's overall requirements - this equals the annual consumption of more than six million single-family homes. At the same time, the very demanding geological and legal conditions in Germany mean that the domestic production of oil and gas also creates continuous innovation, which also makes its mark internationally. "Domestic production is indispensable, for supply security begins on our own doorstep," Rainer Seele, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of Wintershall, said today at the opening ceremony of the new global drill core warehouse at the company's operations in Barnstorf. "Our work here in Germany also forms the basis for innovation and advanced technology with which we can prosper globally and forge international partnerships," Dr Seele explained.
This is complemented by our world-renowned expertise in handling strict environmental standards on a daily basis. However, it is not just consumers and companies that benefit from local production; but also the German states and the municipalities. "The oil and gas companies are an important employer there and often the largest trade tax contributors," Seele said.
About 95 percent of Germany's natural gas production and a large share of domestic crude oil come from Lower Saxony. "Our activities in and around Barnstorf make a key contribution to Germany's energy supply and to the research that Germany needs," Dr Seele explained. The crude oil works in Barnstorf in Lower Saxony, where there are over 350 employees, are at the center of Wintershall's exploration and production activities. Today's opening ceremony for the global drill core warehouse reinforces the central role of Barnstorf.
Barnstorf - Center of domestic production
"With our new drill core warehouse, we are bringing the expertise of our global activities closer together in Barnstorf," the Wintershall CEO explained. To this end, a new warehouse was built at a cost of more than a million euros, and which can now hold more than 70,000 meters of drill cores from all round the world. These rock samples come from the global research and production activities of Wintershall and will be stored and analyzed properly in Barnstorf. According to Seele, the new drill core warehouse is a clear sign of the future viability of oil and gas, particularly in Germany, and of the Barnstorf operations: "After all, even if we are active and travel all round the world, Barnstorf is the home of our production activities," he explained.
Potential for expanding natural gas production in Barnstorf
For Dr Seele there is major future potential in natural gas production at the Barnstorf site, especially in the project "Düste Z 10". The exploration well of the same name was completed in May 2012. Experts at Wintershall are currently analyzing the geology of the rock samples gathered and the results of the physical tests to see whether the assumed recoverable reserves of about ten billion cubic meters of natural gas can actually be extracted. "If they can, Wintershall could continue producing natural gas at the Barnstorf site for several more decades," Joachim Pünnel, Head of Wintershall's activities in Germany, said. If successful, the entire reservoir in the district of Diepholz could be developed from 2015.
The gas deposit contains so-called tight gas, which is stored in layers of rock deep underground made of compact sandstone, and can be produced with the hydraulic fracturing method. Wintershall has already been producing tight gas in Lower Saxony for more than 30 years with the help of this tried-and-tested technology - as well as in the Netherlands, Russia and Argentina. Seele explained that what was important in the use of this method was ensuring the technology was also compatible with ecological considerations. Wintershall works with high environmental standards as a matter of principle and ensures a maximum level of environmental protection and transparency by means of a voluntary commitment. An application to the State Mining Office is currently being prepared.
Pilot project: a mushroom helps raise oil production rates
Owing to the geologically demanding conditions at the production sites, domestic production also represents a source of innovation for new technologies for Wintershall. The company now plans to increase crude oil production with the help of a mushroom. When it absorbs starch and oxygen, the "split gill fungus" generates a biopolymer which can be used as a thickening agent for oil production. The gelatin-like substance thickens the water that is injected into the reservoir during production. This aims to extract more oil from the reservoir - and to do so in an environmentally sound way, because this biopolymer is biologically degradable.
After researching and testing the biopolymer Schizophyllan in the lab together with BASF in the last few years, from late summer 2012 Wintershall will assess whether it is suitable for enhanced oil recovery with a practical test in the field Bockstedt near Barnstorf. The findings will provide information on whether the biopolymer can cope with the difficult conditions in crude oil reservoirs in practice.
Innovation with tradition: steam flooding technique in Emlichheim
The spirit of innovation at Wintershall is also associated with another operations site in Lower Saxony: Emlichheim. Wintershall has been producing crude oil from the reservoir here for almost 70 years. Production will continue until 2035 at least. This long production lifetime is partly due to another highly effective innovation: the combination of horizontal drilling and steam flooding. In this process the oil in the reservoir is heated with hot steam, which makes it thinner and easier to extract. "Even if domestic production only covers three percent of Germany's overall requirements at the moment, in Germany we are developing knowhow that we can export worldwide," the Wintershall CEO explained.
The crude oil works in Barnstorf in Lower Saxony are the center of Wintershall's exploration and production activities. This is where crucial knowhow on drilling and production techniques is obtained - and then applied internationally, too. The crude oil works produce around one million tons of crude oil and about 900,000 million cubic meters of natural gas per year. Wintershall employs over 350 staff at the Barnstorf operations.

I belong to a quilting forum called Quilting Haven and have joined some swaps there. Our latest pin cushion swap had a holiday theme. I collect snowmen and thought that would be a great thing to design but there was a lot of chatter about snowmen so instead I designed a Christmas Mouse. You know, like in.......not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse!
I ended up making 8 of them for various friends. I put sand in them instead of walnut shells to weight them.

This is a really cute bag that is super easy to make. You need two 18 inch squares of fabric, 1 1/2 yards of cording, and your normal sewing supplies.
Try to pick contrasting fabrics. You want the pocket to be a noticeable surprise! FQs work well and waste less fabric since you are making an 18 inch square.
You want a nice 18 inch square for this tutorial but you can increase or decrease the size of your bag. You just need to do the math on where to measure on the sides. That will make more sense later.
Place the squares right sides together and stitch around using 1/4 inch seam allowance. You will leave an opening for turning, about 3or 4 inches.
The next step is simple. You are going to clip the corners, turn it right sides out making sure you get your points nice and "pointy". Then you are going to slip stitch the opening closed and give it a good pressing.
Don't try to rush the process and skip the ironing. It is the key to the folding process later.
Now you are going to measure down 6 inches on both sides of one corner. Do the same for the opposite side corner.
Pin but don't catch the bottom piece in!!
Stitch the piece that you just pinned.
Now you are ready for the center stitch line. I know this looks strange but it is necessary. It forms the bottom of the two pockets and keeps the fabrics together.
Draw a line straight across in the center. I used a frixion pen. Stitch this line.
Now you are ready to make the casing for the cording.
Fold down 1 inch on each side. You are going to draw a line from edge to edge. Then mark another line 5/8 inch from that one (closer to the fold).
Stitch the two marked lines on both sides of your bag.
Next, sew the sides together. It is easier than it sounds or looks so don't get discouraged!
Fold the right sides together. The right side is the side with the pocket. So you are folding the pockets together. You want to be sure and pull the pocket flaps out of the way so that you don't accidentally catch them in the stitching.
Pin from the one inch line all the way to the bottom on both sides. Stitch very close to the edge. You don't want any seam allowance or any extra bulk. Just make sure that you catch both sides or you will have a hole in the side of your bag.
Now you are going to make the bottom of the bag by folding the inside edge and stitching 1 inch from the corner.
You can play around with different measurements but be careful that your pocket flaps don't extend too far down.
Stitch/tack the corner into the side seam, then turn right side out.
Here is your hidden pocket. There will be one on each side!
Take your cording and cut it in half. Make sure you tape the ends so that it doesn't unravel. Using a safety pin, run the cording through the casing.
And your bag is finished!
I am not a fan of using panels, but I love snowmen and I couldn't resist making this one. It is called Making Friends. Those checkerboard blocks are 3/4 inch squares. Boy did that take a long time to make. Now I just need to get the top quilted.

The ProTPMSCar Tyre Pressure Management System (TPMS) is perfect system for pro car racing applications where multiple wheels are used and spare sets needed. The tyre monitoring system uses high tech tyre sensors to transmit Pressure and Temperature information to the display unit.
ProTPMS Car Tyre Pressure Management System is available as 4, 8 and 16 tyre sensor kit options to allow for paddock wheel preparation. There are wheel valve options of 8.5mm or 11.5mm and a choice of whip antenna or flat antenna.
The goal of ProTPMS is to provide accurate pressure and temperature information that can be analyzed by the acquisition engineers and to inform either the paddock of any tyres damage (slow leakage, puncture) thanks to the telemetry system or the driver via original dash or ProTPMS LCD display.
The system consists of a powered pressure sensor with transmitter fitted to the rim. The data sent by the sensors are transmitted by RF frequency to a receiver control unit (RCU) connected to the bike data logger
During the race, the team is informed in real time of the pressure and temperature data thanks to the telemetric system.
After the race, the acquisition engineer can plug the data logger into the PC and analyze tire behavior to optimise the pressure settings.
The display information includes tyre pressure and temperature, alert warnings for low pressure and high temperature, as well as ambient temperature and a clock. The alert feature also allows independent front and rear tyre settings. Up to 16 wheel sensors are able to be used allowing pressures and temperatures to be checked without touching the wheel. During use, pressure and temperature are displayed simultaneously and highest temperature and pressure can be recalled on the diplay unit. Wheel changes mean that the display unit recognises and displays the relevant data in the display unit.
ProTPMS RCU Datalogger (CAN)
LF Trigger Turns wheel sensors on and off to transmit information to your display unit.
Display Shows real time Pressure and Temperature simultaneously for front and rear tyres.
Recalls highest temp or pressure after every session.
Warning alert if tyre loses pressure or high temperature (threshold can be set as desired and front and rear independently).
Can be easily removed from bike and worn by tyre technician to monitor spare wheels for pressure/temperature without using tyre gauge. Just use the LF switch to turn sensors on and off as required.

The most common mental health disorder is depression.
Almost every 6th woman is affected (men 15%).
Depression includes psychological and physical symptoms. Various degrees of severity, courses and clinical pictures are distinguished in the diagnosis, each of which requires special treatment. This is why an accurate diagnosis is so important.
|Degree of severity
|Mild depressive disorder
|Moderate depressive disorder
|Major depressive disorder
|Forms of depressive disorder
|Typical depression / major depression
|Bipolar disorder / manic depressive disorder
The severity of depression depends on the number of different individual depressive symptoms that patients are diagnosed with. Another decisive factor in the diagnosis is whether the patient can still participate in everyday life and whether they are able to interact with others in their depressive thinking.
Mild depressive disorder
Moderate depressive disorder
Major depressive disorder
Depressive symptoms in medical terms (According to ICD 10 p. 68)
According to diagnose criteria depressing episodes are characterized if the patient report the symptomes for at least more than 2 weeks.
1. Depressive experience
2, Depressive thinking
3. Physical symptoms
An additional search criterion for the classification of depressive disorders is their past and (probable) future course.
A distinction is made between:
|Classic type of severe depression. We speak of severe depression when the depressive symptoms last for a longer period of time (at least 2 weeks). Often, patients are no longer able to keep up with everyday life. A phasic course is possible, which means that depressive phases can occur again and again, but there are also phases without symptoms in between.
|In bipolar disorder, or manic depressive illness, the person affected goes through both phases, i.e. manic or depressive states. The affected person experiences manic phases as a high and not as suffering. Nevertheless, it is mainly relatives who are affected: When people are manic, they lose control of their actions and, above all, the ability to see the consequences of their actions. Wrong decisions and dangerous situations are frequent, and financial risks are also taken with negative consequences.
|One speaks of a cyclothyme disorder when patients complain of mood swings without a comprehensible connection to corresponding life events. These mood changes are comparable to the poles of a bipolar disorder, but neither in high mood nor in depressive outburst with a mania or major depressive episode to be equated. Often patients with cyclothyme disorder remain undiagnosed and or untreated, because they do not suffer so severely.
|Dysthymia means a pathological tendency to sad moods. It is not as severe as a depressive episode, but it lasts longer. According to the diagnosis, it lasts at least 2 years.
|An adjustment disorder or reactive depression develops as a direct response to a stressful life event. The triggering situation is experienced as a loss, separation or insult. This depression can be over after a few weeks, but longer courses and transitions into other forms of depression are also possible.
Positive activites, or activities that you used to like in the past, can help you to motivate yourself and get more active again. For a list of positive activities, you will find a large selection online, where you can choose suitable activities for you and get inspired to try new things.
A daily schedule will help you to structure and manage your daily life again and gives you motivation, in case you are in a depressive mood.

Carol is a film that possesses a number of great scenes (including, of course, the one that made my Best Scenes list), but there's something particularly haunting about this one, in which Rooney Mara's Therese tells Cate Blanchett's Carol that she wants to ask her things. It's a scene which underscores how much of Carol's life is a performance to mask her real self, how desperate she feels to be seen for who she really is, and how difficult it would be for two people to find each other when they have no language to describe who they are and how they feel. It's a profoundly moving scene.
In this scene, Nina Hoss' Nelly, who is pretending not to be Nelly because her husband thinks she's dead, tries to explain to him why his ideas for her miraculous return aren't realistic because no one who had just survived the camps would return looking as glamorous as he intends for her to look when she steps off the train to "reunite" with him in front of their friends. When she tries to tell him what the experience was really like, he's quick to dismiss her. "They want to see Nelly, not a ragged camp internee." Whatever the horror and pain she's endured, he just doesn't want to know and to make things worse, he's right: no one else wants to either. It's a scene that cuts right to the heart of the story.
For much of its running time, Tangerine plays as comedy - dark comedy, but comedy - but as it approaches its finale, the breakneck pace slows, the comedy falls away, and one of its two leads is subjected to an act of hatred and violence. In the aftermath, the two women retreat to a laundromat where one tries to alleviate the humiliation of the other by offering her the hair off her own head. Above all else, Tangerine is a story about a friendship, about two people having each other's backs through thick and thin, whether that means spending the day trying to track down the other's boyfriend, stopping everything to be there when the other is about to take the stage and perform, or performing a simple act of kindness for someone who really needs it. The scene is a thing of beauty.
You could argue that an actor gets lucky when he or she is tasked with playing a character full of eccentricities, giving them plenty to sink their teeth into, but it takes a really good performance to make such a character more than just the sum of their eccentricities. As the mysterious billionaire who makes an offer Domhnall Gleeson really should have refused, and who has fallen so deep down the rabbit hole of his own work that he would never have been able to drag himself out anyway, Oscar Isaac never hits a single false note.
As the captured Russian spy on American soil, Mark Rylance is the picture of cool and calm. His casual, "Would it help?" whenever he's asked if he's worried - be it by the thought of going to prison, or the thought of going back to Russia and possibly being punished there - becomes one of the film's regular source of laughs, but though the character ends up bringing some touches of comedy to the film, Rylance is still able to bring weight to the role. Bridge of Spies is a solid film through and through, but the exchanges between Rylance and Tom Hanks are the film's highlights.
Spotlight has a tremendous cast and in lesser hands, the role of Marty Baron might have gotten lost in the crowd. The ultimate outsider in a city full of insiders, Baron is the guy who sees the story hiding in plain sight and encourages the Spotlight team to find it, too. Played by Liev Schreiber in a quiet performance that is made up of pointed silences and raised eyebrows more than words, Baron is one of the story's most essential components, the guiding light showing the other characters the way.
Joan Allen is simply fantastic in Room, playing the mother of Brie Larson's abductee and grandmother of Jacob Tremblay's point of view character, and were it not for the fact that 2015 featured a lot of great roles for and performances by women, she would easily have made it into the top 10. The quiet strength that Allen brings to the character, who has to pick up the slack when Larson's character becomes overwhelmed by the fact of being free and falls apart, helps center the movie and the scenes between her and Tremblay are some of the best of the year.
There aren't a lot of actors who can fit as easily into highbrow period pieces as intense action movies, but Emily Blunt is proving that she's one of them. In Sicario she plays a dedicated FBI agent who is recruited into a mission with a purpose which remains elusive to her and where the intentions of everyone around her become increasingly suspect, and Blunt makes her struggle to hold herself together in increasingly dire and dangerous circumstances palpable. By the end, the character is totally broken, but the performance is always on point.
I went into Mistress America a Greta Gerwig fan, but even if I hadn't, I think that her introduction in Mistress America would have won me over to her oddball charms. Playing a woman who has built her life around flitting from one thing to another, she is a jack of all trades but master of none, and for a teenager who doesn't know better yet, her enthusiasm for life is seductive. For someone with more age and experience, her inability to settle on a path and follow it might seem frustrating or sad, and though the film's third act forces Gerwig's character to face that, the performance remains light on its feet.
For such an angry film, The Big Short is awfully funny. A dark comedy about the 2008 financial crisis from the point of view of those on Wall Street who saw it coming and moved to profit off the recklessness of everyone driving the economy off a cliff, it's a movie that's got something to say and says it well. The Big Short was one of the best comedies, and smartest films, of the year.
As an exploration of trauma, Room is a masterpiece, showing not just the psychological torture of being kept prisoner in a confined space for years, knowing that the outside world is achingly close if only you can find a way to get to it, but of the enduring torture of being released and seeing how life has gone on in your absence. That it manages to do this while telling the story from the perspective of someone who doesn't understand yet that what he lived through was a bad thing makes it all the more impressive.
Sicario was one of the least optimistic movies of the year, taking a good FBI agent who is dedicated to her job, pulling her through the wringer, and dumping her out on the other side with the understanding that there is nothing for her in a place that is now "a land of wolves." It's quite a gambit to build a story around one character and then slowly push them out to the margins of the story, suggesting that their sense of morality is increasingly irrelevant in a world gone so bad, but Sicario is able to pull it off and proves that director Denis Villeneuve is one of the great talents working today.

US supercomputers for weather and #climate forecasts suffer major shock – NOAA – Coyote Gulch
Today, NOAA inaugurated the nation’s newest weather and climate supercomputers with an operational runtime of the National Blend of Models. The new supercomputers, first announced in February 2020 with a contract award to General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), offer a significant upgrade in computing capacity, storage space and interconnection speed of the country’s weather and climate operational supercomputing system.
“Accurate weather and climate forecasts are critical to informing public safety, supporting local economies, and addressing the threat of climate change,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondo. “Through strategic and sustained investments, the United States is reclaiming a global leadership position in high-performance computing to provide the public with more accurate and timely climate predictions.”
“Greater computing power will allow NOAA to provide the public with more detailed weather forecasts further in advance,” said NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad, Ph.D. today is the culmination of years of hard work by incredible teams across NOAA – everyone should be proud of this achievement.”
“Today is a great day for NOAA and the state of weather forecasting,” said Ken Graham, director of NOAA’s National Weather Service. “Researchers are developing new ensemble-based forecasting models at record speed, and we now have the computing power to implement many of these substantial advances to improve weather and climate predictions.”
Improved computing and storage capacity will allow NOAA to deploy higher resolution models to better capture small-scale features such as severe thunderstorms, more realistic model physics to better capture cloud formation and precipitation, and a greater number of individual model simulations to better quantify model certainty. The end result is even better forecasts and warnings to support public safety and the national economy.
The new supercomputers will enable an upgrade to the U.S. Global Forecasting System (GFS) this fall and the launch of a new hurricane forecasting model called the Hurricane Analysis and Forecasting System (HAFS), which is expected to be operational. for the 2023 hurricane season pending testing. and evaluation.
In addition, the new supercomputers will allow NOAA’s Environmental Modeling Center – a division of the National Environmental Prediction Centers of the National Weather Service – to implement other new applications created by model developers across the United States. under the Unified Forecast System link over the next five years.
The twin Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Cray supercomputers, called Dogwood and Cactus, are named after the flora native to their geographic locations of Manassas, Virginia, and Phoenix, Arizona, respectively. They replace previous NOAA Cray and IBM supercomputers in Reston, Virginia, and Orlando, Florida. Computers serve as a primary and backup server for seamless transfer of operations from one system to another.
Each supercomputer operates at a speed of 12.1 petaflops, three times faster than NOAA’s old system. Coupled with NOAA’s research and development supercomputers in West Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Colorado, which have a combined capacity of 18 petaflops, the supercomputing capability supporting NOAA’s new operational prediction and research is now of 42 petaflops.
According to GDI, Dogwood and Cactus are currently ranked the 49th and 50th fastest computers in the world by the TOP500.
Under the initial 8-year contract with an optional 2-year renewal, GIT designed and serves as the owner/operator of the computers with responsibility for maintaining them and providing all supplies and services, including maintenance. work, installations and IT components.
The first phase of the contract covers products and services for the first five years, after which NOAA will work with the contractor to plan the next phase of upgrades,” said David Michaud, director of the National Weather Central Processing Office. Service. “This new total managed service approach has given us the best system on the market that can be adjusted as our needs grow in the future.”
