Spokespeople for Opel and the French government, which owns 14 percent of PSA, had no immediate comment.
PSA Group said in a statement Tuesday that it was exploring "numerous strategic initiatives" that would expand the existing cooperation between the two companies, and that an acquisition of Opel was one of them.
A PSA spokesman confirmed that the company was in talks with the USA carmaker to deepen their partnership.
PSA also said its chief executive Carlos Tavares planned to meet senior German officials, possibly including Mrs Merkel, in the near future.
Germany's IG Metall labor union and Opel's works council said they were caught by surprise with news of the potential sale of Opel to PSA, the maker of Peugeot and Citroen brand cars.
A combination would create a manufacturer with about 16 percent of the European vehicle market, pushing past Renault SA to become the region's second-biggest auto group after Volkswagen AG. By comparison, Renault's 2016 European sales totalled 1,496,394, helped by the continued success of it Dacia brand.
Vauxhall UK also has headquarters in Luton.
General Motors' European operations have been unprofitable for the past 16 years, with combined losses put at over $9.1 billion since 2009.
For GM, offloading Opel could mean giving up on the global sales volume race in which it is now ranked third behind Volkswagen and Toyota (7203.T), with just over 10 million vehicles delivered a year ago.
Peugeot itself came close to bankruptcy in 2013 following years of mounting losses.
"Peugeot, of course, have a significant French government involvement, so it's important that our government is involved and Greg Clark has made it clear that the government will be involved", Mr McCluskey said. Each paid over $1.1 million for their share of the company.
In 2010, the French auto maker's captured a 13.1 per cent market share in Europe. But while Peugeot's market share has been eroded though increase competition, its share price has more than tripled, placing it on a more solid financial footing that anytime in the past two decades.

Anna C. Jones is the Readers’ Choice in this week’s Indies Unlimited Flash Fiction Challenge. The winning entry is decided by the popular vote and rewarded with a special feature here today. (In the case of a tie, the writer who submitted an entry first is the winner per our rules.) Without further ado, here’s the winning entry:
by Anna C. Jones
I’m alone now. Everyone that I loved is dead. My mother, my father, my sisters and brothers, my best friend, everyone. But no one knows that. I refuse to tell anyone in Wickersby that I’m living here alone because they’d make me go live in the orphanage.
People think that I, Alaina Verity, died alongside my family and friends. They’ve dismissed the noises coming from the woodland cottage, saying that there’s a ghost haunting it. “It was always a rather sketchy place,” Mayor Barry told the village. Now they’re afraid to come to the cottage.
But am I a ghost? No, I’m sure I’m still alive. Otherwise, how could I still feel the pang of loss, the loneliness of being trapped here with no human contact. Aren’t those signs that you’re still living, or can a spirit feel emotion?
In all the stories, people said that ghosts felt human emotions. But if that’s the case, how can you tell who’s a ghost and who’s alive?
I’m not sure who I am anymore. Am I a ghost, or am I a human? Alive or dead?
No one seems to notice me when I go into town a few days a year. And people speak of me as if I’m nothing more than a memory. “Remember Alaina Verity? She was a good soul. Shame she’s gone,” people say. I guess that I’m really a spirit after all.
They call me the Ghost of Wickersby Cottage. And I guess that’s what I am.

Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany: BMW’s boffins have turned the M2 mini-muscle car into the best gaming simulator in the world, with the M Mixed Reality virtual reality system.
BMW has effectively created a virtual-reality game you can play while actually driving the M2.
Drivers wear the latest-generation Virtual Reality goggles to drive the M2 around a virtual racetrack, while picking up coins and avoiding virtual obstacles, all while actually hammering the BMW M2 around a track.
Unlike some SIM games, there’s no nausea because the car’s movements are minutely copied in the M Mixed Reality game, though BMW carries sick bags in the M2. Just in case.
Developed with Epic Games and shown as a concept at the 2022 Web Summit in Lisbon this year, the M Mixed Reality effectively turns the M2 into the game controller, elevating SIMs to a whole new level.
Of course, the system needs a strictly controlled area, like the ex-German military airfield at Fürstenfeldbruck, so the M2 doesn’t have anything to hit.
“Anyone who asks what virtual experiences in the automotive sector might look like in future: That is the answer,” BMW M CEO Frank van Meel said.
“People must be able to experience this new feeling and with M Mixed Reality, we offer them a suitable solution for this.
“At BMW M, we have always been testing the limits of what is technically feasible and thus, among other things, laying the foundation for new immersive experiences,” he said.
The “Driving” Experience
The black BMW M2 looks like any other track-spec M2 as you approach it. It runs standard brakes and road tyres and has lairy vinyl stickers all over it, and it takes a second look to see the four-point harnesses and extra hardware inside.
The M2 has a forward-facing camera as standard equipment, but M and Epic Games have tapped into this and built on it, with more cameras everywhere.
The hardware is a Art Smarttrack system attached by suction cups to the windscreen, with stereo cameras to track the driver’s head movement, combined with a seven-camera Art Vix R3T3 VR headset.
The hardware is wired into the car, so all the driver’s own inputs become the game’s inputs.
And just like that, the headset is switched on and the daytime scene at a cold German airfield becomes night time in what looks like a Japanese city.
Everywhere you look, there is the perfect simulation of a neon-rich city full of skyscrapers and bridges, and my co-driver (who has his own emergency brake pedal, and no VR headset) tells me to move in to the start gate.
And there is an actual start gate, which is geofenced, with the display showing precisely where to go, and then it gives a countdown and he tells me to attack a timed lap.
It’s a leap of faith to expect the lit-up racetrack in front of you, complete with red-and-white ripple strips and armco, to be there when you get there.
It’s another leap of faith to expect the elongated figure-eight track to keep you on the actual airfield tarmac, but BMW assures me it has all been mapped accurately.
Turns out, it has.
Given that this is very much a “damage on” game, we ease out on our first lap, and it’s already amazing.
Every time you tilt your head, the game reacts and the vision reacts, within milliseconds. It’s close enough that the nausea-inducing parts of your brain don’t notice the difference.
It’s also accurate. The ripple strips are there. You feel them through the steering wheel and the suspension.
The ripple strips are, actually, so much there that nobody dares try out the armco barriers.
Then there are the coins. They move around and the more you collect, like in so many games before it, the more seconds you slash off your lap time.
BMW combines this with a series of barrier gates, and one of them flashes red at the last instant, forcing you to flick the M2 into the other one, even as you prepare the car for the bends.
Sighter lap done, and we attack the next lap from the start, with full wheelspin that, actually, feels like an M2 with full wheelspin, and it whips through the quicker bends, dinging the coins into the virtual wallet more rapidly now.
The airfield is so slippery that it takes a full brake stomp to pull it down from 140km/h to make the tight hairpin at the top of the circuit, and then we’re flicking left to right to make the “windows” before the full-throttle crossover part of the figure-of-eight.
And then we pull up in the box, check the time and take off the headset, somewhat in shock that this whole thing, actually, works.
It feels like the sort of thing where a lot of things could go wrong, and you can’t help imagining the looks on the faces of the insurance people when BMW suggested it.
Besides showing off how far gaming has come, and that the VR nausea problems can be overcome, BMW plans to use the M Mixed Reality system in driver training, first and foremost.
The days of setting out road cones and hosing down tracks could be coming to a close at BMW’s driver training days.
It can simply arrive at any racetrack or airstrip or even deserted shopping centre car park and map it, then click on whatever gaming scenario fits into the physical reality.
From there, it can randomly pop up with hazards to be avoided, or it can keep coming up with the right type of corner to match the lessons being taught to its drivers.
And there’s nothing to hit, nothing to damage the cars and nothing to damage its drivers.
And it can simulate any situation, so it’s also useful for BMW’s own developers to figure out corner cases for its driver-assistance systems and looming Level 3 self-driving systems.
The in-car hardware is similar to what it uses in testing, while the headset is similar to what BMW’s engineers and designers use when they’re developing cars, so there’s nothing weird for the BMW purchasing people to sign off on.
Right now, they’re talking about about “more than US$10,000” a car, but that price is coming down all the time, especially because it’s prototype gaming software.
But it could be a lot cheaper in even a small production run.

Microscale Research and Macroscale Life Cycle Analysis Integration
The integration of the microscale research and macroscale modeling comes together primarily in the specific application chosen for investigation. Microscale researchers developing new greener infrastructure materials must design these materials ultimately for use in existing structures. Therefore, these materials must be engineered to have adequate mechanical properties, such as strength or ductility, to resist applied loads from vehicles, people, or environmental conditions on that structure. Once an application is selected, it is evaluated for sections in which new green materials may be introduced. Due to the lower mechanical performance of many green materials, in comparison to their non-green counterparts, green materials may not be acceptable in all applications in every case. The newly developed green materials are mated to the specific application at this stage.
Following identification of green material applications and selection of the appropriate version of the material, the effect of these new materials on the entire infrastructure system can be evaluated. This is done primarily by macroscale researchers performing life-cycle modeling, flow analysis of material components, and spatial analysis of the production and transportation of each material component. Incorporated in this complex analysis are considerations of the deterioration and corrosion rates of new green materials on service life, examinations of sustainability indicators in the areas of social, economic, and environmental sustainability, and the end-of-life characteristics of new materials, among many others. Once completed, these results are then returned to microscale materials developers to further optimize the material sustainability, and creating a closed loop for iterative improvement of the sustainability of the entire infrastructure system.
Case Study: ECC Link Slab for Bridges
For an initial case study, an application involving bridge decks within Michigan was chosen as an excellent candidate for the incorporation of green ECC material.
A serious concern facing bridge owners is the maintenance and repair of bridge expansion joints. While necessary to accommodate large thermal deformations of bridge spans, these joints often fall into disrepair and eventually leak. This leaking is frequently the cause of severe damage to the bridge beams, allowing water and other corrosive agents to penetrate below the deck and corrode the ends of the beams. After a time, this deterioration requires not only a replacement of the joint to stop the leaking, but also the badly damaged beams, which is costly and time consuming. To combat this problem, many bridge owners have looked to eliminate problematic bridge joints through the use of continuous bridge decks and integral abutment bridges, which call for a continuous deck with no expansion joints. While these technologies have been effective, they are only useful for new bridges and cannot be used on the thousands of simple span bridges currently in service across the nation.
To construct a continuous bridge deck surface, without reconstruction of the entire bridge, an excellent alternative is a bridge deck link slab. This slab forms a connector between two adjacent simple bridge spans, creating a continuous deck to prevent leaking, while absorbing the thermal deformations of the spans which are typically accommodated by an expansion joint. By using ECC material, which can strain-harden, or “stretch”, under load as the adjacent bridge spans expand and contract due to temperature changes, a bridge deck with previously had a number of problematic expansion joints can be changed into a continuous deck. This serves to protect the beams, and the supporting structure of the bridge, from de-icing corrosives and water penetration. A schematic of a bridge with both a mechanical joint and ECC link slab is shown below.
Problematic Conventional Expansion Joint and Durable ECC Link Slab
A number of new ECC versions have been developed which meet the various mechanical and structural demands on the link slab application, such as strength or stiffness. Using these materials, macroscale modeling is being done to determine the effect of the green materials, and the extended lifetime of the bridge in terms of the sustainability indicators outlined above. Results of investigations such as this look to provide infrastructure designers, owners, users, and policy makers with viable sustainable alternatives to current infrastructure system construction, management, and planning practices.

Are you getting ready to leave your apartment for fall and winter breaks? Students should check with their landlord about certain instructions before leaving for an extended period of time. Upon departure, it is recommended that students take the following precautions:
• Lock your doors and windows.
• Set your thermostat to a specific temperature, usually specified in the lease. Do not turn off the heat or set at a very low temperature, as this puts you at risk for frozen pipes and subsequent damage.
• Consider taking important valuables with you.
• Unplug any chargers.
• Pay rent and utilities.
• Take out your trash.
• Empty your mailbox.
• Do not pack belongings in your car the night before as this causes easy access for items to be stolen.
• Clean your refrigerator
• Inventory and document valuable items left in the apartment.
Look for Off-Campus Ambassadors in November and December, as they distribute more information to off-campus students on this topic, as well as information about parking bans that occur during snowfall.
With winter weather quickly approaching, it is important to be aware of Town of Normal parking procedures. If the Town declares a snow ban, no automobile is permitted to park on the street. Any cars left on the street will be ticketed. Snow bans exist so that snow plows can easily and safely plow the streets when it is snowing.
For more advice on preparing for breaks or winter parking bans, call Leadership and Community Connections at (309) 438-7346.

It is well established that sleep disorders (SDs) are associated with the prevalence of nocturia in men. While previous literature supports that patients with SDs are at increased risk of nocturia, the risk of daytime lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) has not been well established.
We examined the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database between 2006-2008. Men over the age of 40 who completed the sleep, prostate and kidney questionnaires were included in the study. LUTS was defined as having two more of the following symptoms: hesitancy, incomplete emptying, or nocturia (≥2). Multivariable models using logistic regressions were used to compare groups of men with and without a SD.
Of the 3071 men who completed all of the survey questions, 270 (8.8%) men reported a SD. Men with SDs had a significantly higher BMI (30.8 vs. 27.4, p <0.01), likelihood of reporting diabetes (20.3% vs. 10.2%, p<0.01) and more co-morbidities (72.6% vs. 45.2%, p<0.01) compared to men without SD. Multivariable logistic regressions demonstrated that men with SD were more likely to report nocturia (OR 1.23, p<0.01), LUTS ≥2 (OR 1.12, p < 0.01), and daytime LUTS (OR 1.27, p<0.01).
Independent of BMI, diabetes and increased number of co-morbidities, SDs are associated with an increased risk of both nocturia and daytime LUTS. Based upon the present data; clinicians should consider assessing LUTS in men with SDs as intervention could improve both nighttime and daytime urinary symptoms.

single-level statistical models to multilevel data typically produces
underestimated standard errors, which may result in misleading conclusions.
This study examined the impact of ignoring multilevel data structure on the
estimation of item parameters and their standard errors of the Rasch, two-, and
three- parameter logistic models in item response theory (IRT) to demonstrate
the degree of such underestimation in IRT. Also, the Lord’s chi-square test
using the underestimated standard errors was used to test differential item functioning
(DIF) to show the impact of such underestimation on the practical applications
of IRT. The results of simulation studies showed that, in the most severe case
of multilevel data, the standard error estimate from the standard single-level
IRT models was about half of the minimal asymptotic standard error, and the
type I error rate of the Lord’s chi-square test was inflated up to .35. The
results of this study suggest that standard single-level IRT models may
seriously mislead our conclusions in the presence of multilevel data, and
therefore multilevel IRT models need to be considered as alternatives.

Just a few days ago, it was conformed that Lou Ferrigno would reprise his voice role as Hulk in Avengers Age of Ultron. Today he has made Marvel news again by announcing on a local Minnesota radio station (AM Minnesota) that Marvel is planning another solo Hulk film after the next Avengers. Ferrigno said: “"Now because he saved the day they're making another solo Hulk movie after the second Avengers comes out."
A sequel to 2008’s The Incredible Hulk has been up in the air for quite some time. Time and time again it has been denied that another Hulk film is in production. Perhaps it was due to Ed Norton’s arguably unreasonable demands and bitter departure from the franchise that gave it a bad taste in Marvel’s mouth. Perhaps it was just because they couldn’t find a way to continue the Hulk’s story.
Of course, nothing’s official until Marvel itself makes an announcement, but this news is quite hopeful for those who want another Hulk movie. I remember when the first one came out and everybody loved it, as opposed to Ang Lee’s misguided attempt in 2003.
Honestly, I would love to see another Hulk movie, especially if Mark Ruffalo reprises his role as the not-so-jolly green giant (I apologize if that sounded corny). Hulk was given so much development in The Avengers and I recall him as being a crowd favorite. Hopefully, the veteran actor’s words will be true, but for now, we can look forward to Hulk returning in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Microsoft retires support for various older products in 2014 and 2015. This means there will be no more free updates or security patches. While it’s a common occurrence to see support for older products retired by software vendors, it’s annoying if either the old stuff is still running perfectly well or if the upgrade option is financially onerous, will significantly disrupt the business or offers little in the way of real added benefit.
So in April we’ll be finally bidding farewell to support for the likes of Windows XP, Office 2003, Exchange Server 2003, and in July 2015 we’ll say adieu to support for Windows Server 2003. In addition, some more recent products will be transitioning to extended support in July 2014 - namely SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 – which puts them next on the path to software heaven.
On April 8, 2014, Windows XP will reach the end of its support lifecycle and Microsoft will no longer provide security or online updates.
As a part of the Microsoft Support Lifecycle Policy, Office 2003 products receive five years of Mainstream Support and five years of Extended Support. April 8, 2014 marks the end of this 10-year support period. Running Office 2003 after the end-of-support date may expose your company to security risks and technology limitations.
Exchange Server 2003
While Exchange Server 2003 was a leader in the messaging space, after 10 years of technology progression it will reach End of Support effective April 8, 2014.
My colleague Dan Bieler laid out the overall impressions on his take of the MWC. I fully agree with his view, noticing the number of cars being displayed as attractors to make up for the lost appeal of devices.
My questions were more focused on the impact of announcements and innovation in the enterprise sector. Here is what I took in that respect from Barcelona:
Enterprise providers are preoccupied with mobile integration beyond MDM. Complexity of enterprise content integration into different mobile architectures dominated the agenda of many providers. In this context, everyone in the services arena talks about being a leader for the “end to end” value proposition. The overstretched term “end to end” means different things to different people. Vendors talk about technology stacks, service providers also talk about global reach. In this context, the exclusive alliance model for local best-of-breed providers by GEMA offers an interesting realization of the “think global, act local” concept.
IBM is making a big push into the SaaS space – boasting 100+ SaaS offerings and $1 billion plus in targeted investments. The good news for buyers is that the strategy is broad, flexible, and open. But, the downside is that the current landscape is fragmented and inconsistent across its different offerings; buyers do not today have a simple “cloud store” where they can go and download all of these different solutions with instant provisioning and pre-built integration. So, what should buyers expect?
The government of Singapore has released its 2014 budget, which includes S$500 million (US$400 million) to help drive economic changes at small and medium-size businesses (SMBs). This spending will focus on:
I've just published a Quick Take report that explains why the Nevada District Court’s recent decision on some of the issues in the four-year-old Oracle versus Rimini Street case has significant implications for sourcing professionals — and, indeed, the entire technology services industry — beyond its impact on the growing third-party support (3SP) market.
Lenovo recently announced record results for the third quarter of the 2013/14 fiscal year: the first time that the firm has exceeded US$10 billion in revenue in a single quarter. Lenovo has continued to prioritize maintaining or increasing its share of the PC market — the majority of its business. This strategy has paid off: Lenovo’s PC business (laptops plus desktops) grew by 8% year on year — in stark contrast to its slumping rivals. Lenovo can attribute its success to a strategy that sacrifices profit to keep prices competitive, maintains a direct local sales team, and retains channel partners after acquisitions.
Forrester believes that the mobile mind shift is one of four key market imperatives that enterprises can use to win in the age of customer. Lenovo has gotten a good start on this journey with its effort to enhance its mobile-related capabilities. Although the coming Motorola deal may have a negative impact on Lenovo’s performance over the next three to five quarters, the firm believes that mobile can change its business — and not just its digital business. In the next two to three years, Lenovo’s key strategy will be to provide customers with mobile devices and related infrastructure that will address their mobile mind shift. In particular:
Enterprise business stakeholders tell us they’re not often asked for input about telecoms and mobility (T&M) sourcing practices. When they are, they’re likely to be more accepting of new practices related to standardization on specific technology platforms, and designation of a preferred service provider.
Sourcing and vendor management (SVM) executives need to ask for and then demonstrate they’ve listened to input and feedback from the business leadership. Forrester recommends conducting periodic high level interviews with key business stakeholders, and also surveying a small sample of representative business managers in regional sales, marketing, business operations, and finance departments about a) their top two or three business and technology challenges, b) how they are addressing them directly already or want help addressing during the next 12 months, and c) their interest in being updated about telecoms and mobility related activities including sourcing.
All user companies with distributed business operations see high value in network and telecoms technologies in enabling business initiatives. For example, our Q1 2013 Forrsights survey of 194 business decision-makers at North American and European firms with 1,000 or more employees found that more than four in five of the respondents considered telecom technologies important or very important to a) enable users in their organization to ‘gather better business information’ (85%); ‘support overall employee productivity’ (84%); and ‘empower closer engagement’ (81%).
The growing imbalance between the expectations of mobile users and the ability of enterprises to meet those expectations remains a key challenge. Users expect mobile productivity support, while CIO organizations are stuck on decisions about device deployments and policies.
Juggling different priorities for different stakeholders who expect greater support to exploit the mobile experience with the basic requirements for compliance and security remains a tall order. Time to revisit the top priorities. In Europe, these key trends will set the agenda for sourcing in the next twelve months:
The mobile cost equation shifts to devices and content. In 2014, we'll see the cost for broadband voice and data services as roaming charges coming down for enterprise customers. Users will shift their focus to the rising cost for immature services such as mobile device life-cycle management, application sourcing, and workplace integration.
CIOs will roll out corporate devices and embrace mobile content management. European CIOs realize that they are running out of time to shape the mobile workforce agenda. In 2014, we'll see a more strategic approach to mobile workforce engagement based on corporate device rollouts, clear policies, and mobile productivity.
My latest research report, European Mobile Workplace: The Strategic Sourcing Agenda In 2014 provides support for setting the sourcing agenda, supporting CIO organizations in their mobility plans for 2014. It addresses key issues such as steps to deliver on CYOD programs, mobile productivity content, and role-based packaging.
Many of you will be in the midst of a contract negotiation or maintenance renewal with BMC and/or CA at the moment, because both software vendors do a large proportion of their license deals in the January to March quarter as it’s their financial year ends on March 31. It’s a sourcing cliché that software companies give their best discounts at their financial year end, but just because you are making a purchase in month 12 doesn’t mean that you are getting a good deal. Through client interactions, I see a lot of software deals and I am often surprised by the gulf between the latest deal on the table and what I would consider to be a market best deal – one that sets the relationship up for mutual success, balancing price, flexibility and risk.
Buying software from powerful providers such as BMC and CA is very different from buying hardware, services and non-IT categories. Unfortunately, many sourcing professionals seem to think that they’ll look weak if they engage external expert help to coach them during a negotiation, but it isn’t a question of just buying additional haggling advice (although that can sometimes help), it’s really a question of buying deep, current market knowledge. Unless you have that, you risk:
Our global clients are increasingly inquiring about the capabilities of their preferred service providers in ASEAN and Indonesia in particular. I recently spent some time in Indonesia and met leading local and global service providers there. The key takeaways from these meetings? Not surprisingly, the strengths and weaknesses of IT service providers in Indonesia differ by industry, domain, and service line. As a result, clients need to be careful and orient their vendor selection process toward the right set of service providers. Depending on the requirements, the right provider might be based in Indonesia — and it might not. More specifically, sourcing professionals should realize that:
MNCs looking for traditional infrastructure services can rely on a good availability of skills. Most MNCs setting up shop in Indonesia are looking to replicate the enterprise architecture defined at their headquarters in the US, Europe, or Japan. The presence of local and foreign SIs in Indonesia with solid infrastructure skill sets across major technologies means that they won't face too many challenges finding the right partner at the right price point.

Mexico’s state owned Petroleos Mexicanos, also known as Pemex, intends to explore deep waters exploration in the Gulf of Mexico
In February 2012 Petroleos Mexicanos will begin drilling three exploratory wells on its maritime borders with the United States, in the Perdido Fold Belt in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico offshore sites.
Petroleos Mexicanos Pemex Exploracion y Produccion director Carlos Morales Gil said that any crude oil found on the Mexican side of the 12 square mile site "will be negotiated with under treaty terms on transboundary reservoirs with the U.S. to regulate the exploitation of the resources,” Mexico City’s el Universal newspaper reported.
Petroleos Mexicanos estimates that the Bicentennial and Pegasus West sites could contain up to a potential 3 billion barrels of oil, equivalent to 21 percent of Petroleos Mexicanos’ current proven oil reserves.
Morales Gil said that beyond the drilling of the exploratory wells, the work on the delimitation of the deposits will require an initial investment of $1 billion dollars and should the existence of reserves be confirmed, to exploit the site over the next five years will require up to $10 billion.

Mary Kate + Scott had an incredible wedding at the Jefferson Hotel. Their wedding took place in mid-November, but the chilly temperatures made this feel more like a winter wedding.
Greenery was a major component to their wedding day. The bridesmaids wore stunning emerald green growns and lush greenery filled their ceremony and reception rooms. It gave their day such a romantic feel and was the perfect touch for this time of year.
Mary Kate and Scott opted to do a first look the ceremony, which I absolutely loved. We captured some adorable moments as they saw each other for the first time. It also allowed us to photograph all of the wedding portraits before the ceremony, which gave us beautiful light and ensured their bridal party could enjoy the cocktail hour.
Reading from their ceremony were in both English and in French which elevated the romantic feel.
Once the doors opened to the grand ballroom, guests were in awe of dramatic lighting and extravagant floral centerpieces. After the first dances and heartfelt toasts, guests rushed the dance floor and the band kept the party going all night.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff at the Jefferson Hotel, who not only made sure the guests were taken care of but ensured our team had everything we needed throughout the day.
This day radiated love, elegance, and beauty in all directions. Congratulations to Mary Kate + Scott!

|Title (Primary)||Crop–noncrop spillover: arable fields affect trophic interactions on wild plants in surrounding habitats|
|Author||Gladbach, D.J.; Holzschuh, A.; Schreber, C.; Thies, C.; Dormann, C.F.; Tscharntke, T.|
|Keywords||Habitat identity; Herbivory; Large-scale effects; Local effects|
Ecosystem processes in agricultural landscapes are often triggered by resource availability in crop and noncrop habitats. We investigated how oilseed rape (OSR; Brassica napus, Brassicaceae) affects noncrop plants in managed systems and semi-natural habitat, using trophic interactions among wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis, Brassicaceae), rape pollen beetles (Meligethes aeneus, Nitidulidae) and their parasitoids (Tersilochus heterocerus, Ichneumonidae). We exposed wild mustard as phytometer plants in two cropland habitat types (wheat field, field margin) and three noncrop habitat types (fallow, grassland, wood margin) across eight landscapes along a gradient from simple to complex (quantified as % arable land). Both landscape and local factors affected the abundance of rape pollen beetles and parasitoids. Rape pollen beetle infestation and parasitism rates on these plants were lower in noncrop habitats and higher in wheat fields and field margins, whereas beetles and parasitoids responded differently to landscape scale parameters. We found the hypothesized spillover from OSR crop onto wild plants in surrounding habitats only for parasitoids, but not for pollen beetles. Parasitism rates were not related to landscape simplification, but benefited from increasing proportions of OSR. In contrast, rape pollen beetles benefited from simple landscape structures, presumably due to multi-annual population build-ups resulting from long-term OSR planting (as part of the crop rotation). In conclusion, we showed that spillover from cropland affects parasitism rates on related wild plants outside cropland, which has not been shown so far, but can be expected to be a widespread effect shaping noncrop food webs.

The main factors affecting the corrosion of metal are roughly the following:
(1) the relative humidity of air is an important factor affecting atmospheric corrosivity. The relative humidity refers to the absolute humidity (the amount of water in the air, g / m 3) and the saturated humidity (the amount of water saturated in the air. Beyond this limit, a water vapor that is the formation of water droplets fall) The Metal due to its nature and surface morphology of the different, there is a rust generated by the critical relative humidity value. Steel rust critical relative humidity is generally 75%, so reduce the relative humidity of the atmosphere, is a major anti-rust approach.
(2) changes in air temperature and humidity is also a major factor affecting atmospheric corrosion. Low temperature, high humidity will cause water vapor condensation. Condensation of water film dissolved in harmful gases and salts, it will produce electrochemical corrosion. And the higher the temperature, the faster the rust rate of the metal.
(3) The acidity (pH) of the solution has an effect on the corrosion of the metal, where chlorides have a greater effect on the rate of corrosion. Salt spray, hand sweat, heat treatment residue residue, residual solder after welding and so contain chlorine ions, if the cleaning is not clean, can easily cause rust.
(4) the air corrosive gas pollution on the metal pseudo-impact. The most harmful is the atmospheric sulfur dioxide (SO2), because the SO2 dissolved in water that becomes sulfuric acid H2SO3, if SO2 is oxidized after the formation of sulfur trioxide (SO3), its moisture absorption stronger, more corrosive aqueous solution , Especially in chemical plants such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3) and hydrochloric acid (HC1) and other pollution, will accelerate the electrochemical corrosion of the metal.
(5) other factors also have an impact on the metal. The air contains a lot of dust, including soot, coal ash and carbon, carbides, metal oxides, sand, sodium chloride, sulfuric acid and other salt particles. These substances fall on the metal surface, especially with the water vapor under the action of its corrosion will be greatly enhanced.
Steel in the humid air surface will form a thin layer of water film, water film and dissolved from the atmosphere of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and other gases, so that the water film contains a certain amount of hydrogen ions, the results in the steel surface A layer of electrolyte solution of the film, it is iron and iron and a small amount of carbon just constitute the original battery. As the process of corrosion in the hydrogen continue to release, so called hydrogen corrosion, which is caused by corrosion in acidic environments. Under normal circumstances, if the steel surface adsorption of water film is weak or neutral, but dissolved in a certain amount of oxygen, this time will occur oxygen corrosion. In these two electrochemical corrosion process, if there is a salt, it will make electrons in the solution which move faster, played a conductive role, which can speed up the corrosion rate of steel.

An 8.8 magnitude earthquake was recorded in Chile on Saturday, killing at least 78 people and causing significant structural damage. Sea level recording triggered a tsunami warning for Chile, Peru, and Ecuador. This was later extended to Colombia, Antarctica, and Central America. The earthquake was felt in Chillan, Talca, Concepcion, and the capital Santiago.
The earthquake, which started at 06.34.14 UTC, was felt as far as Argentina. The Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Center has issued a tsunami warning for Australia in the wake of the quake.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has announced that a tsunami warning is in effect, and that the wave will be arriving at Panama, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica a few minutes after 13.00 UTC. It has also issued a warning for Hawaii, where the tsunami, estimated to be sixteen feet high, will hit at 11:19 local time (09.00 UTC).
This earthquake occurred at the boundary between the Nazca and South American tectonic plates. The two plates are converging at a rate of 80 mm per year. The earthquake occurred as the Nazca plate moved down and below the South American plate.

What is substance abuse disorder?
What is substance abuse disorder?
Substance abuse is not the same as addiction and does not affect everyone the same way. Some of the more commonly abused substances include alcohol, heroin and prescription drugs.
What is substance abuse?
Substance abuse is a term used to describe incorrect use of substances like alcohol, drugs, and may involve any illegal or legal substance. It’s when the wrong substances are taken or taken in the wrong way that problems can emerge. Substance abuse is different than addiction. Addiction is much harder to stop, much more ingrained in a person’s behavior. With substance abuse, often, people can self-correct destructive behavior with lifestyle changes and outpatient treatment. However, with addiction, higher levels of care like detox are often needed.
What substances are most often abused?
Some of the more commonly abused substances include alcohol, prescription medicine, and heroin.
The prevalence of drinking in the U.S. is high, with over 85% of adults in the U.S. reported drinking alcohol at some point in their life, according to a 2019 NSDUH national survey. According to the same survey, almost 70% reported drinking in the past year.
Most people who are prescribed medication will take it as prescribed. But for some, prescribed medication can lead to substance abuse, and even addiction. In fact, in 2017, an estimated 18 million people abused a prescribed medication. A 2017 survey showed about 2 million Americans abusing prescribed pain medication.
The number of heroin using Americans has been increasing, primarily driven by young adults aged 18-25. Trends in its usage reflect this with the number of people using heroin for the first time nearly doubling between 2006 and 2016.
What causes substance abuse
Like many mental health disorders, several factors may contribute to the development of substance abuse and drug addiction. The main factors are environmental and genetic. Environmentally, people who have many friends who abuse substances are at a higher risk for the same behavior. Genetically, your inherited traits can make you more at risk for developing an addiction by altering the course of addiction.
Symptoms of substance abuse
Signs you may have a drug problem:
- You continue to take a drug or medicine even after it’s no longer medically justified (not being used to treat a medical illness).
- You have noticed the buildup of tolerance and need more of the substance to get the full effects.
- You have symptoms of withdrawal after the substance wears off. You might feel strange, shaky, depressed, or have other physical symptoms like nausea and vomiting.
- You find yourself using the substance even when you don’t want to.
- You continue to abuse one or more substances even after experiencing significant adverse consequences.
- You spend a lot of time on substance use, including substance acquisition, use, and recovery.
- It’s challenging to keep your substance abuse within self-set limits.
- Your appearance has begun to change: red bloodshot eyes, bad breath, body odor, etc.
- Your everyday functioning is affected.
- Spending too little time sleeping or too much time sleeping
- You go to multiple doctors to get prescriptions for the same drug or problem.
- You look in other people’s medicine cabinets for drugs to take.
- You mix prescribed medications with other drugs or alcohol.
What can you do to prevent relapse?
These six tips can help you avoid relapse in the future:
- Receive treatment for substance abuse
- Read staying sober by Terrance Gorski
- Build a new support network
- Attend 12-step meetings after treatment
- Make lifestyle changes: Limit caffeine, eat a healthy & balanced diet, and get plenty of exercise
- Avoid people who use drugs and places where they are available
Understanding substance abuse
People begin abusing substances for many reasons. Continuing substance abuse can push many people over the invisible line of addiction. It happens slowly at first, and then rapidly.

text: In general, I’ve found that people are very slow to change what they do if they change at all. No matter how many facts, charts and reports you show, many/most people will not heed the advice. This is true with many different things in life. For instance, most smokers, drinkers, criminals and drug addicts won’t kick their habits when faced with facts. Instead they choose to die or go to jail rather than change their ways. Another example is countless millions of people are overweight and unhealthy from not eating correctly. Most of them will not listen to common sense advice about healthy eating.

We are a mixed billing clinic, so the 80% of patients that we bulk-bill will not be impacted by this private fee increase.
This is the first time we have increased our private fees in our 4 years of operation and held off making these increases for as long as we could.
The two most common private fees are a Standard (#23) and Long (#36) consultation and these will increase by $5 and $11 respectively.

THE OBSERVATORY in Partizánske now houses replicas of two concrete observatory towers that were built by Milan Rastislav Štefánik, the Slovak statesman, astronomer and world traveller, in 1911 to observe a total eclipse of the sun on April 28 of that year on the Pacific island of Vava’u.
František Kele, head of last year’s expedition that tracked Štefánik’s activities as an astronomer on islands in the Pacific, was able to find the original towers on Vava’u and documents about their construction. He told the TASR newswire that the observation towers are a unique part of the cultural heritage of Slovakia.
“I came to the conclusion in 2009 that it would be great to bring the towers back to Slovakia; this site is the only palpable evidence of Štefánik’s activities in the southern hemisphere,” Kele stated. Later he was advised by a friend and several astronomers that the original towers should stay where they were “born” and he agreed and decided to make replicas.
Kele added that the public response to the discovery of the original towers was enormous. Several Slovak expat associations from Sydney in Australia have shown interest in taking care of the observatory towers in the coming years. “Without due care, the towers are condemned to disintegrate,” Kele said.
The idea to place the replicas in the Partizánske observatory was supported by the Association of M. R. Štefánik, which has a strong and active branch in this town in western Slovakia. “Our expedition to the Pacific was under the auspices of this association,” Kele added. There are plans to add a model telescope from that period to each tower so they provide a complete image of how they were used by Štefánik. Vava’u is a tropical island that is part of the Kingdom of Tonga and lies in the South Pacific Ocean.

Kitimat LNG to be majority owned, operated by Apache unit
Kitimat LNG Inc., which plans to export natural gas via an LNG plant in British Columbia, has sold a majority interest in the export project to Apache Canada Ltd., a unit of Apache Corp.
Warren R. True
Chief Technology Editor-LNG/Gas Processing
HOUSTON, Jan. 15 -- Kitimat LNG Inc., which plans to export natural gas via an LNG plant in British Columbia, has sold a majority interest in the export project to Apache Canada Ltd., a unit of Apache Corp. Apache also reserved 51% of planned export capacity.
The planned Kitimat project, at Bish Cove near the Port of Kitimat about 405 miles north of Vancouver, has planned capacity of about 700 MMcfd, or 5 million tonnes/year of LNG. First LNG shipments are projected for 2014. Apache will become operator of the project.
If built, Kitimat will become the fourth liquefaction plant in the Americas:
• The 1.3-million tpy Kenai, Alas., plant, operated by ConocoPhillips, started up in 1969. All of Kenai’s production since its start up has gone to Japan, the world largest importer of LNG. Kitimat is similarly targeting Asian markets.
• The combined 15.1-million tpy plants at Point Fortin, Trinidad and Tobago. All trains started up 1999-2005. Atlantic LNG is a major supplier to the US.
• The 4.4-million tpy plant at Melchorita, Peru, is undergoing commissioning and will start up by spring.
Kitimat will link pipelines serving Western Canada's gas production via the proposed Pacific Trail Pipelines, a $1.1-billion (Can.), 300-mile project originating at Summit Lake, BC. Through acquisition of a 51% interest in Kitimat, Apache will acquire a 25.5% interest in the pipeline, currently a 50-50 partnership between Galveston LNG and Pacific Northern Gas Ltd.
The proposed pipeline has received both the federal and provincial governments’ environmental assessment approvals and has an arrangement to work with First Nations along the pipeline route, said Apache.
Kitimat LNG has signed memorandums of understanding for LNG sales with Gas Natural and Korea Gas Corp., as well as MOUs with other producers for natural gas supply.
The Apache announcement said preliminary construction cost estimates of $3 billion (Can.) “will be refined” after front-end engineering and design. Kitimat LNG received its provincial environmental certificate for the liquefaction plant in December 2008 and federal environmental certificate in January 2009.
Apache Chairman and Chief Executive Officer G. Steven Farris said in the announcement that development of Kitimat LNG can “open new markets in the Asia-Pacific region for gas from Apache's Canadian operations, including the Horn River basin in northeast British Columbia,” where its net estimated resource potential “exceeds” 10 tcf.
Under the agreement, Apache will make an initial payment to current owners of Kitimat LNG with “additional consideration due upon achievement of certain commercial and regulatory milestones,” the company said. Apache will fund the project's FEED, set to begin shortly, with final investment decision expected in 2011.

US (IL): Organic farmers may get reimbursed for credentials
The Illinois Department of Agriculture announced Tuesday it will receive $271,800 from the federal government to reimburse organic growers and handlers who receive or renew certification this year.
The reimbursement covers 75 percent of certification costs, up to $750.
Agriculture Director Bob Flider says the funds will help growers who want to enter a rapidly growing market for organically grown products.
Operators must have current U.S. Department of Agriculture organic certification to get reimbursement. That means they must have received initial certification or have incurred expenses related to renewal between Oct. 1, 2013 and Sept. 30.
The money comes from the USDA's National Organic Certification Cost-Share.
