The Spanish Supreme Court upheld the judgment under appeal, stating that the right to enjoy an additional 8 weeks would entail several consequences which would significantly interfere with the regulatory order, since (i) it would mean creating a new contributory benefit in favour of single-parent parents which would alter the configuration designed by the legislature (ii) furthermore, the legal regime of the contractual suspension due to the birth and care of a child in Article 48.4 of the ET would necessarily have to be modified. 4 of the ET, which would negatively affect the company, which would be obliged to endure a longer duration of the contractual suspension provided for in the law, which would affect its replacement or reorganisation plans, and would not exempt it from complying with its Social Security contribution obligations.
The Supreme Court considers that the recognition of the sole parent of a single-parent family of the childbirth and childcare benefit that would have corresponded to the other parent in cases in which that benefit has already been recognised is not a requirement deriving either from the EC, or from any EU regulation, or from any international agreement or treaty ratified by the EU, nor from any international agreement or treaty ratified by Spain and that, in any case, the solution to the conflict cannot be based on the need to take into account the interest of the child, not only because it is not the only one at stake, but also because there is no alleged infringement of a theoretical right of the child in single-parent families to be cared for on equal terms with respect to two-parent families.
In these cases, the benefit that corresponds to the other parent requires, as an inexcusable condition, that he or she be registered and registered with the Social Security and that a minimum period of deficiency be covered and, if not, it is not granted, so that the interest of the child, whose importance is not unknown and is considered of special relevance by the Chamber, cannot be the only decisive and determining factor. Nor is the interpretation with a gender perspective decisive for the resolution of the case, since there is no discrimination against women, but rather we are faced with a possible deficit of protection desired and consented to by the legislator, who, in terms of social protection, has not forgotten single-parent families, since in the special case in which a woman, in the event of childbirth, does not have sufficient minimum contribution, she is granted 42 calendar days of benefit which is increased by 14 additional days in cases of single-parent families (art. 182.3 b) LGSS). Provisions are added on non-contributory family benefits in cases of this type of family.
Key action point
This ruling is particularly relevant, as it finally settles the controversy that has existed in the Spanish legal scene in recent months, in which there have been different legal pronouncements by the High Courts of Justice of the different Autonomous Communities regarding the right to and enjoyment of parental leave by single-parent families. Thus, the Supreme Court unified doctrine and finally established that single-parent families are not entitled to the leave and benefits that would have corresponded to the other parent if they existed.

Radioactive Hydrogen Decay
Date: Winter 2011-2012
What would a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, if there are any, decay into?
Hydrogen-3 (1 proton, 2 neutrons) decays by beta-decay into helium-3 (2 protons, 1 neutron).
Richard E. Barrans Jr., Ph.D., M.Ed.
Department of Physics and Astronomy
University of Wyoming
Hydrogen 3 "Tritium", (1 proton + 2 neutrons),
Helium 3, (2 protons + 1 neutron),
by emitting a fast electron called a Beta particle.
It is a fairly general tendency that nuclei with too many neutrons undergo beta decay,
getting fewer neutrons and more protons, so then they are more stable.
And nuclei with not enough neutrons undergo alpha decay
(coughing out a whole 2p2n Helium nucleus),
which also tends to correct the neutron/proton balance, because
elements with fewer protons need a lower neutron/proton ratio to be stable.
The ratio at which stable balance occurs varies gradually over atomic number,
as low as 0 : 1 for Hydrogen 1,
to 1 : 1 for light elements like Carbon,
to 1.6 : 1 for Uranium and such.
Whatever decay happens will move the starting nucleus towards a more central balance of protons and neutrons.
It is usually the whole point of doing a decay.
There are other decays such as positron emission, electron capture, and spontaneous fission.
They too tend to happen only when they move the nucleus towards balanced neutron#/proton#.
I think fission does it by throwing out a bare neutron or two along with the splitting into daughter elements.
Two other reasons to decay:
1) the nucleus is just too big
and even the best ratio is no longer stable
any more (Uranium and up)
They do fission and/or a whole string of alpha and beta decays.
2) this nucleus happens to be in an excited state, has extra energy locked inside,
so it decays to its resting state by emitting a gamma-ray photon,
which is pure energy with no charge, mass, or baryon-count.
(Cobalt 60m -> Cobalt 60, for example)
There are a number of isotopes of hydrogen. An isotope of an element
is an element of the same type (that is, the same number of protons)
with various masses (that is, a different number of neutrons).
All hydrogen isotopes have one proton.
Hydrogen with no neutrons, known as hydrogen, is stable and
therefore does not decay.
Hydrogen with one neutron, known as deuterium, is also stable and
therefore does not decay.
Hydrogen with two neutrons, known as tritium (and a common byproduct
of nuclear power) is unstable and decays by beta emission, so the
daughter product of tritium decay is helium.
Leslie Kanat, Ph.D.
Professor of Geology
Remember that there are three basic types of spontaneous decay for
unstable nuclei: alpha-, beta-, and gamma emissions. Since these are
spontaneous decay mechanisms, these must happen because the nucleus
is highly energetic, unstable and goes through the release of alpha,
beta or gamma particles and results in a less energetic, more stable nucleus.
We will not consider gamma radiation since this does not result in a
transformation of the nucleus, just a release of energy to result in
a less energetic form of the same nucleus.
Your confusion must come from the thought that it is not possible
for a tritium or deuterium nucleus to release an alpha particle
because there cannot be an alpha particle within a deuterium or
tritium nucleus - and you would be right. However, a beta emission
is possible. Consider that a release of a beta particle is
essentially the transformation of a neutron into a proton with a
concurrent release of an electron from the nucleus. So tritium,
having two neutrons and one proton, becomes a nucleus having one
neutron and two protons, with a release of a beta particle (the
electron from the nucleus). I'm sure you can figure out what this
new nucleus is called.
Greg (Roberto Gregorius)
Hydrogen-3, more commonly called tritium, contains one proton and
two neutrons in its nucleus. It is radioactive with a half life
about 12 years. It decays through what is called beta decay,
decaying into helium-3. In beta decay a beta particle (which is a
lot like an electron) is emitted from one of the 2 neutrons in the
nucleus, and that neutron becomes a proton.
There is one form of natural hydrogen that is radioactive (only form
I know of) and that is Tritium or Hydrogen-3. It is hydrogen with a
mass of three and one proton. During decay (undergoing beta decay)
it releases beta particles (an electron) and forms Helium-3.
Hydrogen has three major isotopes: (1H1) [normal hydrogen], (2H1)
[deuterium], and (3H1) [tritium = one proton and two neutrons]. In addition,
there are three heavier isotopes with masses 4,5, and 6 but their half-life
is of the order of 10^-23 seconds. Tritium has a half-life of 12.33 years
and decays by beta emission (an electron). The product of this decay is 4He2
(helium), that is, the atomic number increases by +1. You can find all the
details for all the elements if you search the site:
"table of the isotopes decay".

(Tomi Williams)– I must admit that upon my initial reading of Lola F.’s article “Varsity Athletes: Detriments of Team Bonding” I was a bit frustrated. I was frustrated by some of the sweeping generalizations made in the article, I was frustrated by the lack of recognition given to teams and individuals who work tremendously hard to create an environment of inclusion within their teams, but mostly, I was frustrated by the thought that in 2013 at Amherst College there are student athletes who feel discriminated against or even uncomfortable on the basis of their socioeconomic status or race.
The question I have been struggling with for the past several days is: Who is the cause of my frustration? Is it Lola F., for presenting as facts many things that I consider to be inaccurate? Or is it the Athletic Department for not being more vocal about and appreciative of the diversity that surely exists within its teams? Perhaps it is the student leaders of Amherst sports teams for not taking enough accountability by genuinely and vigilantly verifying whether all members of the team feel comfortable and included. In reality, I suspect the cause of my frustration is a combination of each of these.
Lola F. is a terrific writer and is extraordinarily courageous. I think it is wrong to attack and/or belittle someone for her opinion, especially someone who simply (and so eloquently) expresses what she believes and has observed; I strongly urge those who may object to Lola’s article to do so respectfully. That being said, there are several points in Lola’s article with which I must disagree. I had trouble accepting some of the unsupported blanket statements made in the article such as “In short, sports have cultures and lack substantial diversity within the actual team.” I do agree that each sports team at Amherst has a distinct culture but these cultures are very much affected by and representative of the different individuals on each team. These individuals are by no means indistinguishable members of a homogenous group; each team member brings a unique set of cultural identifiers which, together, contribute to the diversity of not only their teams but the entire campus. I will only speak to what I know for certain:as a member of the Amherst Men’s soccer team, I can confidently state that thirteen of the twenty-seven members of my team are men of color, nine of us were born, have lived, or are from a different country, and our financial backgrounds vary greatly. I must object to the assumption that our team lacks or is uncomfortable with diversity. On the contrary, I believe we embody it.
I was taken aback by the theory that athletes use team bonding merely as “an excuse” to spend excessive amounts of time with “people from similar socioeconomic backgrounds” without guilt. Apart from the fact that we really have no idea about the financial situation of most of our teammates – as this can only be surmised through superficial and oftentimes misleading indicators (such as clothing, race, speaking habits)– it is unfair to conclude that athletes as a whole are more likely to be uncomfortable spending time with students outside of their socioeconomic status. In my case, I grew up playing soccer with kids from both suburban Maryland and inner-city Baltimore on the Baltimore Bays club soccer team. This is the case for most players on my team as well as for athletes on many other Amherst sports teams. I have been exposed to much more diversity, both socioeconomic and racial, playing soccer than I would have been otherwise.
The article brought up some interesting points about athletes’ involvement on campus aside from their participation on sports team. I am a firm believer, just as Lola seems to be, in athletes branching out and engaging in more than just their sports. I like that Lola mentions the need for athletes to “broaden [their] horizons” but I would like to point out that there are currently dozens of student-athletes who also take part in other activities. Several student-athletes are Resident-Counselors, Student Government members, DASAC dancers, Mr. Gad’s members, or a cappella singers, just to name a few. While I agree that more team-wide intermingling with non-athletic groups would be awesome (and something more teams/clubs should look into doing), we should not overlook the many athletes who are in fact members of non-athletic groups themselves.
There is certainly progress to be made for the athletic community as a whole. It is one thing to be diverse but it is far more impressive to actually embrace diversity. I wholeheartedly agree that our Athletic Department can and must do more to see that “diversity” is more than just a word we throw around to make ourselves feel accepting. I would like to see more done to appreciate the different cultures that so many athletes bring to their teams, the athletic department, and the school as a whole. Whether such an initiative should be achieved by putting together events or programs, or done on a team-wide versus department-wide basis, to be honest, I am not completely sure (I would certainly like to explore possibilities and ideas with both administration and other students). At the very least, a genuine effort made by the Athletic department will give students –especially those who identified with Lola’s article– an indication that their concerns are being heard and taken into account. More importantly, it will give us a solid place to start when discussing progress we can make in terms of inclusion in athletics and on campus. If we only bring up our diversity when it is questioned, then it will continue to be challenged.
In addition to department-wide improvements, team captains must also work harder to make certain that their teammates do not feel marginalized due to their race, financial background, or identity. I caution those who disagree with Lola’s article to avoid completely dismissing her points; there are absolutely situations where it can be awkward or uncomfortable for those of a different culture or socioeconomic status than the majority of the team. This is precisely why it is so important for captains and team leaders to actively watch out for and check on each member of their team. Simply stating that “I am always here if any of you ever need someone to talk to” or “Please let us know if you ever feel uncomfortable” will not suffice. More personal and thorough approaches should be taken. Each captain’s methods for doing so may vary, but it is nothing short of imperative that both team-wide and individual support is offered by captains and teams leaders to athletes, especially those at a higher risk of feeling isolated.
We are nowhere near close to being perfect. There is clearly a divide between Athletes and Non-Athletes on our campus. Athletes can do a better job at reaching out to non-athletes and non-athletes can do a better job of reaching out to athletes. This is something that we can all agree on. That being said, allocating all of the blame to athletes and their desire to solely be among those within the same socioeconomic grouping is simply wrong. I am personally very pleased that Lola F. wrote this article, if only for the fact that it has been a source of much discussion and conflict, and without discussion and conflict there can no be progress. The next step is turning all of our dialogue and ideas into something tangible that will improve Amherst for everyone.

Advanced microscope technology allows you to cells and molecules in 3-D by pressing your eye to a lens or looking at the view on a computer screen. CAVE technology allows you to create a room-size projection and walk around inside of a cell.
Virginia Tech’s University Visualization and Animation Group helps researchers use the CAVE — which stands for Computer Augmented Virtual Environment.
VT-CAVE is a multidisciplinary computer graphic visualization research and educational facility that is part of the new ACITC. Due to recent advances in computer graphic software and hardware, it is possible to routinely visualize complex structures in three dimensions on desktop computers. This is accomplished by using simple web-based graphical tools, such as VRML player software.
When objects become extremely large and complex, a virtual reality CAVE can be used to literally walk inside of these structures. For example, students and researchers can see and understand how complex objects work by literally walking into a bacteria cell or complex protein structure, a new architectural design, an insect -- and watch its heart beat -- or an array of dislocations moving near a crack in a ceramic material. The CAVE is a 3-D, immersive, multiperson, room-sized, high-resolution environment where students and their instructors can be surrounded and experience these complex structures together. Talk about your high-tech classroom!
Many departments on campus are using the CAVE for both education and research projects. For example:
— the Virtual Jamestown project
— the USDA project, “Putting Bugs in a CAVE Room,” entomology
— the “Virtual Dandelion” project, plant pathology
Remote site CAVE labs have been created in architecture, interior design, and materials science. And the VT-CAVE Student Led Users Group (SLUGs) is working with faculty members in a variety of colleges and departments to build remote site visualization lab projects.
An excellent example of how the CAVE relates to research in the life sciences is the viewing of confocal microscope images in the CAVE using Crumbs, an immersive imaging software package developed in partnership with the National Computational Science Alliance (NCSA).
Crumbs? Once upon a time, NCSA computer scientist Rachel Brady decided to ask biologists and veterinary scientists what they needed. She learned they needed a way to measure complex structures. The tail of a fruit-fly sperm, for example, looks like tangled fishing line. It is too small to measure under even a powerful microscope. But if you put the sperm in a CAVE, you can walk around and put marker points on the tail, and later you can tell the computer to measure the distance between the points. It reminded Brady of Hanzel and Gretel, leaving a trail of crumbs, so she named her software Crumbs.
At Virginia Tech, Crumbs has been used by Jeryl Jones in the radiology laboratory of the College of Veterinary Medicine. She used the CAVE and Crumbs to study a horse’s spin in great detail.
The Virginia Tech CAVE is also a member of the National Science Foundation’s PACI (Partnership in Advanced Computational Infrastructure) where CAVEs and I-Desks ("Immersa-Desks" or one-walled CAVEs) are linked over high-speed networks that emphasize the development of collaborative virtual environments (VE) for both research and education. Virginia Tech researchers and students, including the CAVE SLUGs, have developed VE awareness tools that will be used nationally and regionally. These collaborative VE tools have already been used at two Virginia Governor’s Schools.
The Central Virginia Governors School (CVGS) has worked with the Laboratory for Scientific Visual Analysis for the last three years on developing a web based K-12 educational project called DIGSTATS. Tom Morgan, director of CVGS, and Ron Kriz, VT-CAVE director, wrote a proposal to create a collaborative learning environment between Governors Schools in Virignia -- and perhaps all K-12 schools -- using collaborative virtual environments. The work is being funded by SiliconGraphics Inc. and Virginia Tech's Institute for Connecting Science Research to the Classroom. So far, the VT-CAVE, the Central Virginia Governor’s School, and the Central Shenandoah Valley Governor’s School have “shared” virtual CAVE space in real time via the Collaborative Cave Console.

Researchers have detected two planets that may be habitable
The planets orbit a Sun-like star 12 light years away
If you’re a little bored of life on Earth, have no fear; scientists have discovered two potentially habitable planets orbiting a sun just 12 light-years away.
The team of astronomers which includes researchers from the UK’s University of Hertfordshire and the University of California Santa Cruz, revealed that four Earth-size planets in total have been detected orbiting the sun-like star, known as the tau Ceti.
They dubbed two of the four planets “super-Earths,” so-called because they have masses of around 1.7 Earth mass, larger than Earth but among the smallest planets ever detected around the nearest sun-like stars.
“[The habitable zone] is the ‘Goldilocks’ region around a star where the planet is not too hot or too cold and thus is able to sustain liquid water on its surface,” Dr Fabo Feng, the study’s lead researcher, told CNN.
Feng added that the planets are likely made “made of rocks rather than ice” which would increase the chances of them supporting life.
The researchers detected the planets by monitoring the star for tiny variations in its movement that could have been caused by a planet’s gravitational pull.
“We measured the variation of the motions of the star through spectroscopic observations,” Feng said.
Spectroscopy is a technique that, according to NASA’s website “measures light that is emitted, absorbed, or scattered by materials.”
The variations caused by a star and those caused by a planet are very similar and the scientists had to develop a sophisticated technique to detect what Feng calls “weak planetary signals.”
“Together with colleagues in UK and US,” Feng said “I have detected the smallest movement of a star caused by planets.”
A study published in 2013, with research by the same team, lay the groundwork for the breakthrough.
“We realized that we could see how the star’s activity differed at different wavelengths and used that information to separate this activity from signals of planets,” said Dr Mike Tuomi who led the previous study, in a statement.
“We’re slowly learning to tell the difference between wobbles caused by planets and those caused by stellar active surface,” he said. “This enabled us to verify the existence of the two outer, potentially habitable, planets in the system.”
An article on the findings is due to be published in The Astrophysical Journal.
But keen space tourists shouldn’t pack their bags just yet. The planets might make less than ideal homes as researches suspect their surfaces might be constantly bombarded by asteroids and comets
Feng is, nevertheless, excited to examine the atmosphere of the planets and to use the new methods developed to find others.

Many rules and yet uncertain.
Many rules and yet uncertain. That summarizes the dissatisfaction, but especially the concern about a difficult permit process. According to the Knowledge centre VOKA, many 'entrepreneurial' actors in the process, in particular project developers and other initiators, share this idea.
“Large, complex projects have become almost impossible to realise in Flanders," said Steven Betz, senior advisor for environment & spatial planning at the Knowledge centre VOKA. But people also complain about the long waiting times to effectively start the many thousands of smaller projects. “There is a sense of rule-breaking and unnecessary waste of time here.”
Entrepreneurs VOKA East Flanders (Ondernemers VOKA Oost-Vlaanderen) discussed this with a panel of six experience experts active in real estate, environment and project development.
During this round-table discussion, our colleague Julie De Pauw, Development Manager at PSR, shared her views and insights on the future of this crucial policy instrument.
Many rules and yet uncertain.
Julie: “A preliminary project can run over three to four years. We spend a tremendous amount of energy in fine-tuning all the regulations. There should be someone at the municipality who coordinates this process for us. Now we are running down departments with our file ourselves, while a coordinated approach with support from a municipal SPOC (single point of contact) would help a lot.”
Inaccurate policy makes property more expensive
Julie: “Some municipalities impose regulations on the required surface of flats in a project. These are often so large that they risk becoming unaffordable. I do understand the underlying objective of the policy, but it should be possible to build affordable housing.”
Being 'against' is of hardly any cost
Julie: “Despite the efforts of successive ministers for simplifying administration, procedures have only become more difficult. In 2021, the average delay to obtain a building permit in Flanders was no less than 44 months. On top of this, over 54% of project developers faced an appeal procedure. In other words, the time has come to act. We want to make the property supply more sustainable, however those permits will not be issued. Today, access to appeal procedures is all too easy. For about 100 euros, you go to the province administration and file an appeal against a building project.”
Better to do it this way
Julie: “The preliminary process is a considerable financial burden for any project developer. On average, it takes four years just to obtain a permit. We agree that the process must be qualitative, but there must also be an awareness that the process can be shortened.”
How to improve quality?
Julie: “We put a lot of energy into informing the neighbourhood. During info meetings, we miss the policy that says: ‘We support this project’. When we ask to join, we always get the answer: 'We have to act independently. In my opinion, this is a counterproductive signal.”


Iran is developing a second path to achieving a nuclear weapon by operating a heavy water plant in Arak that could produce plutonium, satellite images published by The Telegraph on Wednesday show.
The satellite images that were taken earlier this month show Tehran has activated the plant, that produces heavy water needed to operate a nuclear reactor that can produce plutonium, from which a nuclear bomb could be made.
According to the Telegraph, the heavily-guarded facility has not been visited by any international inspectors since August 2011 and the Islamic Republic has repeatedly refused requests for information about the site.

Next up for Madden Espaņol cover boy Garza: Avoid the jinx
CHICAGO -- Roberto Garza heard the snickers for years. And he understood why. He was the son of Mexican immigrants. His tiny, south Texas town of about 1,600 had never produced a college football player, not to mention a professional.
So he knew why people laughed when he told them he was going to play in the NFL. He knew, too, why they shook their heads when he jogged the streets of Rio Hondo each morning. He didn't care until that day during his senior year, when a Marines recruiter told Garza what he thought of the boy's dreams.
"He just told me, 'Latinos don't play football. Not in college, not in the NFL. They don't play football,'" Garza said. "And I just decided, forget this guy. I was going to play college football and do everything I could to give myself a shot at the NFL."
Twelve years and a college career at Texas A&M-Kingsville later, not only is Garza one of 19 Latinos in the NFL -- a starting guard for the Chicago Bears who played in Super Bowl XLI -- but he's also the cover boy for the Spanish version of the EA Sports video game "Madden NFL '09."
So much for Latinos not playing football.
"Madden NFL '09 en Espaņol" is the second iteration of the Madden en Espaņol series, following up on last year's game that featured San Diego Chargers defensive lineman Luis Castillo on the cover. The game play is the exact same as the English version, but the text and audio are fully translated into Spanish. There are four separate Spanish music tracks, and Alvaro Martin, the first Spanish play-by-play broadcaster for "Monday Night Football," calls the play-by-play.
"Our population is growing in huge numbers, and the support for the NFL is growing just as fast," Garza said. "But the problem I've found is that they don't know a lot about the game. They struggle to understand it. For a kid to pick this up, they can learn about the game. They can explain it to their parents and friends, and they can do it in a Spanish environment they're familiar with. I wish I would have had it growing up."
The Madden series is the only EA game that features a Spanish version, but the company hopes to grow in that area. Future plans may include a Spanish version of EA's FIFA soccer game, one of the top-selling video games in the world.
"Offering the Hispanic fan base an opportunity to further develop their passion for the game by playing 'Madden NFL '09 en Espaņol' is something we hope to build upon down the road," said EA Sports senior product manager Anthony Stevenson.
For Garza, appearing on the cover was unfathomable.
"That's a dream I never had," Garza said. "They don't put offensive linemen on the covers of video games."
Garza's Bears teammates gave him a hard time after Castillo appeared on the cover of last year's game, so Garza and his agent reached out to EA to inquire about this year's candidates. The next thing Garza knew, he was calling to the house where he grew up in Rio Hondo trying to explain [his picture on the cover] to his mom and dad.
"It's hard for them to understand what this means. They didn't exactly grow up playing video games," Garza said. "But they're still pretty pumped."
So what happened to Castillo last year?
"He got hurt," Garza admitted.
After suffering an ankle injury that required surgery in November, Castillo missed the Chargers' last six regular-season games. Garza has appeared in 95 straight NFL games dating back to 2002.
"I was sold on the idea that this was Madden Espaņol, that it's a whole different thing, that there's no curse, that I'm not going to get hurt," Garza said. "But now well hopefully, I'll be able to break it and start a new trend."
And if not, he'll always have his Madden franchise season to fall back on. Garza, who plays the game with some of the other Bears, mirrors the "real" season by playing one game in his franchise each week. He has yet to play as himself."No way," Garza said. "I guess I could make a big block, but let's be honest: In the real world, nobody wants to be an offensive lineman. I'd rather throw the ball and pretend like I'm a quarterback. If only I didn't throw so many interceptions. That's not good."

The developers from ART in Nuremberg, Germany successfully launched their CLS GTR into the segment of top-class sports cars. Tightly focussed upgrades transformed the CLS63 AMG into a meaty supercar with brilliant performance. At the same time, its appearance offers a display of diplomatic elegance without reverting to the harsh design lines its competitors.
The GTR is available in two different motor performance versions with the GTR 620 Export Version having 620hp/890Nm which propels the sedan to 62 mph (100km/h) in 4.0 seconds. Also in development is a sport exhaust system made of stainless steel with metal catalytic converters and 4 double-walled 100mm end pipes.
Probably the most striking aspect of the GTR is its wider body with specially developed fenders, sills and air intakes. The front features a new double lip bumper and an additional double light system as well as a carbon fibre front spoiler. A trunk lid wing and integrated diffuser finish out the rear. Other A_R_T options include ARTstar2 wheels, laether and carbon fibre interior trim, track widening and sill-mouted steplights.
During the Middle East Motor Show Dubai in December 2005, the GTR had its first introduction to the public. Customers in Europe are now able to order it from April 2006 onwards.

For the first time ever, iPhone users in India will be able to download and stream Apple TV+ content over cellular networks in iOS 14.
While there’s still some time before iOS 14 arrives for the general public, heading over to Apple’s preview page gives us a closer look at what’s in store. There’s a lot actually, including some very specific changes that Apple is bringing for iPhone users in India. Since iPadOS (14) is essentially iOS (14) with some iPad features thrown in, you can expect many of these changes coming to it as well.
There are broadly four key changes that iOS 14 will bring to your iPhone in India. To begin with, Apple is adding new fonts, 20 brand new ones and “upgrades” to 18 existing ones with what Cupertino is calling more weight and italics. We don’t know what that latter bit means exactly, but we’ll know for sure once iOS 14 is out for public (it’s now rolling as a limited developer preview if you’re curious).
Also Read With iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, Apple will finally let you set third-party browsers and email apps as default on iPhone, iPad
For the first time ever, iPhone users in India will be able to download and stream Apple TV+ content over cellular networks in iOS 14. Apple will also allow iPhone users to similarly download Indian Siri voices and software updates over cellular. All of this will be part of a new feature that Apple is calling smart downloads.
Elsewhere, iOS 14 will also bring full-screen effects in iMessage when you send greetings in 23 Indian languages. Apple Mail will also let you send and receive email using addresses composed of Indian script in iOS 14. That last bit is getting an even bigger update globally (including in India) with Apple finally giving iPhone users the flexibility to set third-party mail apps like Gmail and Outlook as default in iOS 14.
A lot of things that Apple is doing inside iOS 14 seems inspired from Google and Android (with an Apple twist) but on the whole, it’s turning out to be a big overhaul, some of which also goes against Cupertino’s tradition to offer iPhone users choice to do more. Home screen widgets and App Library are a few examples. There’s a lot more (you can read more about it here) but at the same time it would be interesting to see if Apple has also worked on the performance and stability sides, something that iOS 13 wasn’t very good at the start.

Rheaply redefines circular overall economy in architecture
On Earth Working day 2022, we discuss to Rheaply founder Garry Cooper Jr about his innovative business enterprise that tackles reuse and upcycling in architecture and development
When a building will get demolished, or refurbished, what takes place to its areas? They may possibly get ruined, or just thrown absent to the again of a junkyard, hardly ever to be found again – or, they will get reused. And it’s that past option that Garry Cooper Jr, founder of Rheaply, resolved to tackle when he released his enterprise asset management enterprise in 2016. Rheaply is a digital platform that serves the round economy, primarily enabling the rehoming of components of buildings and tools just ahead of a construction is torn down, putting them in new, area structures in building, in a bid to increase upcycling, sustainable architecture and neighborhood company.
Ohio-born Cooper is now centered in Chicago and the thought to found Rheaply was born there, thanks to his keen observation skills and entrepreneurial brain (while now he operates in the construction and architecture world, his history is in science). ‘It was super natural,’ he suggests. ‘I came to Chicago in 2008, and examined at Northwestern University, making an attempt to discover a remedy for Parkinson’s Sickness. I seen in our lab we had heaps of product that we were being not using, from chairs, to plastics, chemicals, and I held listening to people today declaring, oh if only I had this or that, and I realized we experienced whichever they necessary somewhere in our closet. So I begun a resource sharing system – it was in essence a cart!’
Garry Cooper Jr
The humble cart soon grew into a small business, as desire improved. The strategy caught on as it supplied the opportunity for landlords to quickly, easily and sustainably get rid of areas of their developing that would or else be scrapped this expanded from smaller-scale machines and furniture to bigger things, these types of as doors, window frames, façade panels and anything in involving. At the identical time, new proprietors could get all these functions to integrate into their homes in an eco-friendly and price tag-economical way.
‘I thought, all this is reusable and has embodied power,’ says Cooper, who emphasises that timing is crucial in making all the things operate in the most productive way in this business, which is all about wasting much less and decreasing carbon emissions in the constructing market – which at present accounts for a important portion of the world’s emissions, up to 40 for every cent in some nations, such as the Uk. ‘I have buildings I scope out and stock every thing in them, even ahead of they turn out to be available. So, matters get rehomed ahead of the constructing is in fact deconstructed – it usually means there’s even much less transportation carbon included.’
Rheaply can now regulate the reuse of everything from artwork and interiors to large metal features and infrastructure as a result of a committed digital platform. The workforce functions with contacts and the community community to create inventories of buildings to be demolished, which purchasers then have entry to through a internet site and application, making securing reusable areas for new initiatives clean and fuss-absolutely free. It’s all pretty regional – as the company doesn’t operate by storing the elements or delivery significantly. They just transport them instantly to a new building internet site to be applied instantly. Preserving points nearby is significant in taking care of the company’s (and affiliated projects’) carbon footprint.
Effects is measured in different ways – in a financial perception, in how a great deal funds is saved or how a great deal financial prospect is granted by this scheme in phrases of squander diversion and how a great deal squander is diverted from landfill and as a result of carbon emissions price savings, many thanks to reuse. A distinctive carbon emission calculator device, to be launched via the system quickly, is set to supply even more clarity and visibility for the operation and its customers.
What begun off as a Chicago company is now expanding substantially thanks to higher demand from customers, with Rheaply operations aiming to launch in up to 50 US metropolitan areas in the upcoming handful of years, while Cooper’s some 50-potent workforce is expected to improve extra than two-fold in the future calendar year by itself. A San Francisco wing is throwing open up its doorway this thirty day period. As Rheaply’s mission spreads via word-of-mouth among industry professionals – Cooper has a community that incorporates several Fortune 100 amount corporations in the US, as properly as a selection of contractor and architecture studios – expansion appears assured.
‘The circular financial state is a behavioural change. And after you’ve performed some thing, you always seem for one thing much more, it makes you more conscious. Even in a small way, it helps make a major big difference. [If people don’t recycle more in this way, it] isn’t since we don’t want to, it’s just visibility,’ Cooper stresses enthusiastically – and Rheaply seems perfectly positioned to amend this. §

Transient characteristics of green upconversion emission of Er3+ in MgO:LiNbO3 crystal: Mg threshold concentration effect
- 88 Downloads
Transient characteristics of upconverted emission (560 nm) of Er3+ in LiNbO3 crystals codoped with 0–7.4 mol% MgO were studied under pulse excitation at 800-nm wavelength. The results show that the transients display considerable Mg-doping-level-dependent nonexponential behavior and a clear Mg optical-damage-resistance threshold concentration effect. Below the Mg threshold concentration, the lifetime increases slightly with the increased Mg concentration. Above the threshold, however, the lifetime drops abruptly by 4–7 times and the nonexponential feature becomes more evident. It is found that each transient can be fitted by a double-exponential function contributed from isolated and clustered Er3+ sites. The fit parameters show that doping of MgO above the threshold concentration increases the clustered Er site concentration and the nonradiative cross relaxation probability. The Mg threshold concentration effect derived from the transients is in qualitative agreement with that from the fluorescence spectrum measured as a function of the Mg concentration. The effect of the Mg threshold concentration on the clustered Er site concentration is qualitatively explained on the basis of the microscopic defect model of MgO:LiNbO3 and is conducted with the Mg site change around the threshold concentration.

Chicago, IL — A Chicago area Planned Parenthood abortion facility that opened just last year has hospitalized an abortion patient who suffered excessive bleeding that the staff struggled unsuccessfully to control.
An employee of Planned Parenthood’s Roseland Health Center, located on Halstead St. in Chicago, placed a call to 911 seeking an ambulance on May for a 34-year old woman who had just had an abortion.
“We need an ambulance at 11250 South Halsted,” the clinic worker told the 911 dispatcher. “A patient just had a surgical abortion and she is bleeding excessively. They’re trying to stop the bleeding now.”
“It’s time to stop pretending abortion is safe,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “We have documented over 35 medical emergencies at abortion facilities just this year, and we know we are only seeing a small fraction of the actual number. Women deserve to know the true dangers of abortion that are constantly being downplayed by Planned Parenthood.”
Nearly half of all medical emergencies at abortion facilities documented by Operation Rescue take place at Planned Parenthood facilities. Serious abortion complications experienced by women during these emergencies include hemorrhaging, lacerations, perforated uteri, seizures, breathing difficulties, heart issues (including cardiac arrest), and death.
One recent study conducted by the pro-abortion University of California San Francisco indicates that there are nearly 6,000 women per year who visit emergency rooms after abortions. However, that number may be much larger due to the way the study under-reported other data.
For example, that study indicated that there were 15 women who died from abortion complications from 2009-2013, but the Center for Disease Control records indicate there were actually 36 – over twice the study’s figures. Based on its own research, Operation Rescue believes that the number of maternal deaths could be even higher since abortion facilities may not be inclined to report such a potentially damaging incident.
“Even if the study is suspect, 6,000 women or more who require emergency care after abortions is a lot of women,” said Newman. “For those 6,000 women, abortions is far from safe.”
But perhaps the most shocking statistic coming out of that study was that women who have abortions are 81% more likely to suffer mental health issues than those who keep their babies.
“While the study’s conclusions appear to understate the real dangers of abortion, their figure related to mental health issues in women who abort, taken at face value, is still staggering,” said Newman. “When we think of what that means to post-abortive women like the one hospitalized in Chicago in May, it is just heartbreaking. Women are so much better off — physically and mentally — having their babies!”

Left-wing snowflakes are quite concerned with microaggressions – affronts to delicate liberals so miniscule they often are missed by both the “victim” and the “perp.”
They can be whatever kind of “ist” or “phobe” needed to help whatever flavor of human requires to feed a victimhood jones. To hell with those people. They’re attempting to ruin further the greatest country in the history of the planet, so excuse me while I microaggress on them for a few minutes.
Colin Kaepernick wasn’t a household name before this week, and the world was a better place for it. This pampered prima donna was once a promising quarterback in the NFL, but he lost his starting job and now he rides the pine while hammering huge checks for the splinters.
This embarrassment of a football player became an embarrassment of a human being when he threw an ignorant temper tantrum about how racist the country is and how police are murdering innocent black people with impunity. Because of the obtuse worldview that exists in the vacuum behind his eyes, Colin refuses to stand for the national anthem. With all due respect, it’s a bunch of crap.
No one would have accused Kaepernick of being bright in the past, and he’s unburdened himself of that possibility for the foreseeable future. So he’s got that going for him.
What else he’s got going for him is the support of ignorant race-baiters, professional victim hustlers and those who simply hate this country. Frankly, they can have him.
“He has a right to do it,” was the gist of their cries, and they’re right. So what? And who cares? If a moron, backed by a moron army, wants to protest whatever they want, good for them. But I don’t have to give a damn. And I don’t.
What progressives hate to acknowledge is the very thing that protects their freedom to spew their ignorance ensures the rights of others to criticize them for it. Actually, they don’t hate to acknowledge it as much as they try to squash it, deny it to others. Fascists gonna be fascists.
If you and your mob want a “safe space” to remain unchallenged, build a tree house. You want to slander the country, expect some pushback. You want to wear a shirt with a murderous dictator on it, knock yourself out. You want to hate this country, feel free, but expect the disrespect you display to be returned tenfold.
In the end, the problem isn’t a spoiled 28-year-old has-been millionaire, nor is it a hall of famer, or an alleged plagiarist. It’s the culture so full of excrement it fertilizes lies like “Hand up, don’t shoot” so long that the lie grows unchallenged like bamboo in the minds of the ignorant.
So full of “fertilizer” is the culture that every celebrity gathering is punctuated by a bizarre game of one-upping the previous claims of support for the latest big lie. Cheered by drones, Democrats and a knowing media, award shows celebrate drug dealers and thieves as innocent victims. It’s a sickness.
Meanwhile, more people have been murdered in Chicago this year than in New York and Los Angeles combined. Chicago has 2.7 million people, compared to a combined population of New York and Los Angeles of 12.2 million. But Chicago has had 487 homicides this year, compared to 222 for New York and 176 for Los Angeles.
Those homicides were not perpetrated by roving bands of police officers.
But those lives also don’t matter because they’re difficult, if not impossible, to fundraise off of. You can be considered a hero and sell a lot of copies of songs about a goon who was killed because he attacked a cop, but there’s not a lot of money to be made decrying the murder of an innocent child shot by a drug-dealing pile of garbage. Hell, the dealers are being set free from prison at record rates by the president, so…
Colin Kaepernick’s ignorance belongs to him and those who choose to rally around it. Good for them. The more the American people see it, see the true face of what spawned from the bowels of the Democratic Party’s drive to divide in their quest for power, the better it is for the rest of us. By expressing their hatred for the United States they expose the greatness of the United States. So rage on, lefties, and show the country who you really are.
