The I-Pace is "not a Tesla-killer" but holds its own against the Model S and Model X.
Sure, hatchbacks/crossovers like the Chevy Bolt EV and Hyundai Kona EV might nearly match the range of Tesla's lineup. But the Jaguar I-Pace is one of the first all electric vehicles from a traditional automaker to hit 200+ miles of range with the "range, performance, technology, and design" to rival Tesla.
So far the I-Pace has been a big hit with most people lucky enough to get behind the wheel of the vehicle. Bloomberg's Hannah Elliott is the latest to take a ride in the all electric SUV. She came away quite impressed.
As with most electric vehicles, the instant torque "turns highway exits and on-ramps into a thrilling experience." With 0-60 times of 4.5 seconds, the I-Pace can also pass on the highway without breaking a sweat.
The I-Pace feels "glued to the road" with no significant body roll and excellent handling. Although in her short time with the vehicle, the reviewer also never adjusted to the regenerative braking options.
Bloomberg found the interior "spacious and sunlit" although visibility is constricted in the rear windows. The exterior styling is also a highlight for Hannah Elliott. The midsize electric SUV is "something rather beautiful" compared to the rest of the SUV segment that "looks bland at best and forgettable at worst."
She also praises the 100 kW charging speed on the 90 kWh battery. 40 minutes will get you from zero to 80 percent of a full charge. The I-Pace max charging speeds are just short of a Tesla Supercharger. Still, at these speeds it outperforms most other plug-ins.
Overall, the publication came away quite impressed, stating the I-Pace feels "as refined, quiet, and sensibly dutiful inside as it feels to drive." For the full review check out the link below.

|Wellingborough News, 3rd August 1878, transcribed by Kay Collins
THE NEW MINISTER
The anniversary of this chapel was celebrated on Wednesday. The Rev. Mr. Bradbury preached to a large congregation, and after the service a public tea was provided, the company present numbering about 200. In the evening a public meeting was held, at which the new minister, the Rev. Mr. Pung, was publicly recognized and welcomed to Rushden. The Rev. Mr. Stevens presided, and there was a large attendance.
The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, said he had been a deacon of the chapel in which Mr. Pung was now the respected pastor, and he had promised Mr. Pung that whenever he had a public meeting in connection with his chapel he (the speaker) would come and take the chair, he was very glad to be present. He had heard Mr. Pung preach, and had no doubt that he would do much good in the village of Rushden. Mr. Pung was a large hearted, generous man, an eloquent speaker, a good friend in time of need, and if he were properly supported Succoth Chapel must prosper so long as he remained to act as its minister. (Applause) The Rev. Mr. Pung, who was received with applause, said he had accepted the pastorate of this chapel because he believed it was the Lord's will that he should live and work for Him at Rushden. He had not personally sought for the appointment. When his chapel was burnt down at Norwood, he did not advertise for another appointment; he had perfect faith that he should be provided for by the Lord, and soon afterwards, through the influence of friends in London, he was asked to come to Rushden. He came, and met with an encouraging reception. The friends were very kind to him, and impressed him favourably. But, at first, he feIt hardly sure that Rushden was exactly the place in which he could be expected to labour most advantageously for Jesus Christ; the people appeared to be scattered, and the attendance at the chapel was so small that the deacons were in doubt as to the course that ought to be pursued. There were many circumstances which led him to think that he need have a strong spirit to battle with adversity, that his life at Rushden must be one of continual exertion of an arduous character, that there would be much work that would appear almost to be in vain, that trials would arise which it would be hard to bear, but, then, he wanted his people at Rushden to know and to believe that he was indeed a true follower of the Lord Jesus, that he was willing to bear trouble, and sorrow, and, if it be necessary, affliction for His sake; and so, after serious thought and fervent prayer, he determined that, since the Master had called him to Rushden, he would remain, and try by every means in his power, to prove a profitable servant. He was sure he might depend upon the prayers of his congregation. He had before him a glorious workto preach Christ crucified. A nobler work man could not perform, and they might depend upon him to speak always plainly, straightforwardly, and conscientiously. He should do his duty thoroughly, according to his ability, and trust to find that his words were acceptable to those who heard him. If they were not satisfied with him, he hoped they would say so at once, and he would be quite willing to go away. His great aim in life was to do the greatest possible good, and nothing would pain him more than to feel that he was not properly fulfilling the wishes of his people. In the pulpit he should hold strongly to his religious convictions. If they were not satisfied with him, he hoped they would say so at once, and he would be quite willing to go away. His great aim in life was to do the greatest possible good, and nothing would pain him more than to feel that he was not properly fulfilling the wishes of his people. In the pulpit he should hold strongly to his religious convictions, and in private life he should be true to his political views. He knew he had been accused of favouring Lord Beaconsfield more than Mr. Gladstone, but they must remember that his chief dutya duty which would always stand first in his mindwas to serve Christ. He had before him the task of trying to save perishing sinners, and no political considerations would hinder the true performance of his duty as a minister of Christ. He wished particularly, while he was permitted to remain at Rushden to be regarded as one who was anxious to help the poor, as one who would sympathise with them in their afflictions, strengthen them in times of weakness, visit them in sickness, and remove their doubts by the promises contained in the blessed Gospel of Jesus Christ. The rev. gentleman was listened to attentively throughout, his address, and resumed his seat amidst loud applause.
The Rev. R. E. Bradfield offered a hearty welcome to Mr. Pung, and observed that at Rushden there was ample room for the services of such a devout and earnest man. He had listened to Mr. Pung's speech with much interest, and hoped soon to have an opportunity of hearing him preach. Though men engaged in the ministry might hold different religious views, they were all working towards the same end, and the object of their work was to teach their follow creatures so to live that when death came they might have a certain conviction that there was prepared for them an eternal home in the kingdom of heaven. He asked the congregation to help Mr. Pung in his work liberally and prayerfully, and he felt sure that they would have cause to feel thankful that Mr. Pung had come to labour amongst them.
The Rev. Mr. Bradbury delivered an interesting and profitable address, and after the usual votes of thanks had been passed, the proceedings were brought to a close by singing and prayer.

Hi, is there a way to change the remote access port from 80 to something else? I am running a web server on my network that is already using port 80.
Doesn’t matter if some other device is using port 80. That’s totally distinct from port 80 on the Tablo device.
If you’re setting up port forwarding on your router, then you can use any external port you want, as long as you forward it to 80 on the Tablo.
Yea, doesn’t your web server have it’s own IP, separate from you tablo’s IP? Every device with an IP can have it’s own port 80 separate from each other… can’t they? or do you have some elaborate web server configuration on a funky network?

Behind the Walls: Quality of Quartz
Here at EDGEhomes, we’re all about providing our buyers the quality they deserve. Some might be surprised that one of these things is actually quartz countertops. According to the National Kitchen & Bath Association, the popularity of granite countertops are declining in comparison to its rival, quartz. While around 70% of people want to do more projects with quartz this year, closer to 90% of our buyers choose to use quartz when building their home, according to Kate Heath, EDGEhomes’ Design Studio Manager. So let’s talk about why so many people are choosing to use this great stone.
Comparable stones like granite and marble have to be sealed and polished pretty regularly. In contrast, all the maintenance quartz countertops require is some light cleaning with warm water and soap.
Unlike other stones, quartz is actually nonporous. What does this mean for you? You never have to seal it because it won’t ever absorb moisture from food, which could cause a build-up of harmful bacteria.
- Strength & Durability
Not only does its nonporous nature make quartz safer, but it also makes it extra stain resistant! As an added bonus, this stone is also scratch resistant. With extra additives like polyester for extra durability, quartz is actually the fourth hardest mineral known to man, just behind Diamond, Topaz, and Sapphire. So go ahead and cut those veggies straight on the counter!
A cool fact: quartz is actually made from engineered stones instead of being a natural stone like granite or marble. This means that you can choose from an even bigger variety, while still being able to keep a consistent look in the stone itself. Other stones like granite have natural imperfections like fissures and unbalanced color from one side of the stone to the other.
Quartz is the kind of stone that gives you the best quality for its price tag. While it costs about the same as mid-level granite, Quartz gives you the same kind of look, but with the added bonus of having the highest durability.

A Jay County woman has pleaded guilty to diverting more than $86,000 in public funds and spending it on personal indulgences during her time as a township trustee.
Katina Miller pleaded guilty earlier this month in federal court to one count of wire fraud. The Bryant woman had been indicted in January on two wire fraud counts, the Star Press of Muncie reported.
Miller was a township trustee in Jay County’s Bearcreek Township from 2015 through 2018. Her indictment alleged that she used the township’s two debit cards and wrote unauthorized checks to herself, eventually using a total of $86,755.39 “to pay her own personal, unauthorized charges.”
Under her plea deal, Miller agreed to pay $86,755.39 to the township “as well as any insurance company who had paid any claim based on my fraud.”
A State Board of Accounts audit released after Miller left office accused her of using $131,503 in township funds for personal expenses, including costs stemming from vacations to New Orleans, the Great Smoky Mountains and other locations.
That audit also found she used public funds to buy jewelry, clothing, electronics and other items.
A federal judge in Fort Wayne has accepted Miller’s plea. She is scheduled to be sentenced May 12 on the wire fraud count, which carries a maximum 20-year prison term and $250,000 fine.

Today the province announced repair work on the CSS Acadia. From the Release:
The Provencal Government is making repairs to the only vessel still afloat to have survived the Halifax Explosion, the historic CSS Acadia.
The CSS Acadia is a national historic site that is permanently moored at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax. The 105-year-old steel-hulled ship also served in the Royal Canadian Navy during both World Wars.
Restoration work that is necessary to preserve the CSS Acadia will include repair of the deck and sub-deck and drydocking the vessel to repair the hull, electrical systems and ballast tank.
No word on the cost estimate, or who will be doing the work. I believe the only available facility in Nova Scotia able to accommodate the Acadia would be shelburne ship repair.
No tender notice has yet been posted, nor has a time line for the work.

(Wichita, KS) The Tuesday, May 22 Wichita Aero Club Luncheon will feature industry experts in avionics and propulsion discussing future developments in both areas. The discussion will be moderated by AVIATION INTERNATIONAL NEWS (AIN) Senior Editor and technology expert Matt Thurber. He'll be teamed with Phil Straub, Vice President and Managing Director of Garmin's Aviation product line and Ron Rich, a key member of the Honeywell’s development team on several propulsion programs as Vice President, Propulsion Systems, Marketing & Product Management and current head of the company’s Auxiliary Power Unit engineering efforts in Phoenix. "The technology on the flight deck and inside the nacelles of modern aircraft continues to evolve so quickly it's tough to keep up," said Dave Franson, Wichita Aero Club spokesman, " so we have invited some key figures in those fields to address the latest developments."
Phil Straub was named vice president, managing director – aviation at Garmin in October of last year. He leads all facets of Garmin’s aviation business, including product development, flight operations, certification, sales, marketing, and support. He originally joined Garmin in 1993 after earning a BS degree in electrical engineering and was a key contributor and leader in the creation of the GNS 430/530 and G1000 integrated cockpit systems. In addition to his engineering skills, Straub is an accomplished pilot and holds an airline transport pilot certificate for multi-engine, as well as a flight instructor certificate with single-engine, multi-engine and instrument privileges.
Ron Rich has spent his career at Honeywell in engineering, working primarily on propulsion systems including the TFE 731 and HTF7000 engines that power four different models of Cessna Citations, two Hawker Beechcraft jets and five different Bombardier aircraft among their impressive list of platforms.
Matt Thurber has been flying since 1975 and writing about aviation since 1978 and now reports on aviation for AIN and its sister publication Business Jet Traveller (BJT). In addition to working as an A&P mechanic on everything from Piper Cubs to turboprops, Matt taught flying at his father’s flight school in Plymouth, Massachusetts in the early 1980s, flew for an aircraft owner/pilot and for two summer seasons, hunting swordfish near the George’s Banks off the East Coast from a Piper Supercub. Based in Southern California, Matt covers the West Coast aviation scene and writes about safety, manufacturing, technology and other subjects of interest to AIN and BJT readers.
“This will be an interesting and unique opportunity to hear what new developments are ahead in these two key business segments, from the people who are guiding those projects. Having a veteran investigative reporter who’s an expert in his own right, guide the discussion will make it especially valuable and, of course, we’ll try to save some time for questions and answers from the audience, as well,” Franson stated.
The luncheon will be held, as usual, in the Grand Ballroom of the Doubletree Hotel by Hilton at Wichita Airport, beginning with a reception at 11:45 AM and lunch at noon. Reservations can be made on-line at the Wichita Aero Club website or by calling 641-5962. Members receive a 25% discount on their lunches.

CHANGSHA, Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- The water level of Dongting, China's second-largest freshwater lake in central China's Hunan Province, dropped to the lowest level ever recorded in the same period, local authorities said Wednesday.
The water level at the lake's landmark Chenglingji hydrological station receded to 19.89 meters at 8 a.m. Wednesday, 7.56 meters lower than the average for the same period in previous years, according to the provincial water resources department.
The figure marks the lowest water level in the same period since the station was built in 1904.
Due to hot weather and low precipitation, the inflow of upstream water to the lake over the past 30 days is around 77 percent less than the average for the same period in previous years, contributing to a sustained drop in the lake's water level, the department noted.
Monitoring data from hydrology and meteorological departments shows that the cumulative precipitation in Hunan Province since July 8 is 81 mm, 73.9 percent less than the average precipitation of the same period in previous years.
The number is the lowest in the same period since the local meteorological data were available.
Over the past 30 days, the cumulative precipitation of Hunan was 10.9 mm, 89 percent less than the average for the same period in previous years.
The provincial hydrological department predicts that most parts of Hunan will continue to experience no significant rainfall and that the water level of Dongting Lake will continue to drop. ■

Nebraska State Soccer takes all COVID related issues and measures with the utmost seriousness and importance, and we remind all our members to stay vigilant and follow these orders. As many of our members move to indoor soccer activities, it is important that clubs and coaches check with the facilities you are using and with your county health department to determine the official limited capacity to make sure all activities follow these regulations. Nebraska State Soccer will NOT sanction any activity that is in violation of the governor’s DHM’s. We also continue to urge all members to wear masks and keep a 6ft. social distance between groups at all times when in and around soccer activities.
We are all very thankful for the care and concern our membership displayed throughout the fall to enable all of us to play soccer these past few months and remind everyone to continue to do their part this winter.

When I attended my very first gashuku, it was the experience of my dreams. I had long yearned for a camp where I could train for hours every day in the martial arts, conditioning my body and practicing useful martial concepts. Yet it challenged me deeply, too. Never before had I experienced such exhaustion, had I pushed myself so hard. On that first morning run, I distinctly remember envisaging a petrol tank within myself and running completely out of petrol. In desperation, I started burning the grit at the bottom of the tank, and somehow I burnt enough of it to complete the half hour run. I had never put myself through that kind of challenge and pain before, and it scared me deeply. Doing it the second morning was equally painful, and it taught me to fear the discomfort and challenge. Not enough to deter me from training, but enough to make my stomach clench at the thought I might have to push myself so hard again in the future.
I talked to a good martial artist friend about it, and he told me that he had teachers who used to yell at him to do ridiculous physical tasks (like a thousand squats or a hundred repetitions of a sequence). He would hate them for it, but he would do their tasks anyway and it made him stronger.
That is not the advice I needed. If I could go back in time and have a conversation with my 20-year-old self, this is what I’d say:
“Xin, that sucked. That was so hard for you, and I totally get why it scares you. Don’t worry though; that’s probably the hardest you’ll ever push yourself, and it was the hardest because you’ve never done it before. Speaking from experience four years on, you’ll never get quite so empty and have to keep going for quite so long as you just did. What you’ve accomplished is remarkable, and I understand why you’d never want to do it again. It’s okay though, because you get stronger, you get fitter, you get more used to challenging yourself when you want to back down. Go little by little, and each step will take you further on your journey of ten thousand miles; you don’t have to get there on a single tank of gas. You’re perfect, just as you are, and you will continue to be perfect no matter what you do. Keep your chin up and your heart strong.”

How can an IV drip help you boost your energy
Fatigue is a state of feeling extremely tired. People with physical fatigue may have muscle weakness and struggle to perform regular physical activities. Individuals with mental fatigue may have difficulty concentrating and staying awake while working on tasks requiring intense focus. Unfortunately, even sleeping doesn’t permanently cure fatigue!
People experience fatigue differently, but common symptoms include slowed response times, muscle aches, drowsiness, irritability, gastrointestinal problems, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms often worsen the following exertion, making it difficult or dangerous to do everyday tasks like working and driving.
When you’re suffering from fatigue, you may not have the energy to get to the doctor’s office or hospital emergency room. But fatigue shouldn’t get in the way of your ability to complete daily tasks and enjoy your life. SKIN111 clinic provides mobile IV drips in DUBAI for patients with fatigue symptoms. An IV for fatigue can alleviate unpleasant symptoms quickly and give you the energy you need to carry on with your day.
How does it work?
IV therapy can help you boost your energy by providing your body with the vitamins, fluids, and other nutrients it needs to function at its best and become the healthiest version of yourself.
Instead of oral supplements passing through the digestive tract, an IV drip boosts your energy by delivering a mixture of fluids and vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly to your bloodstream and muscular system. As a result, you can use this energy to stay on track with your daily life.
Because IV drip provides such a highly concentrated dose of nutrients, you only need to receive IV treatment a couple of times per month. While the results may vary from person to person, the vitamins from an IV drip session typically remain in your system for two or three weeks.
An IV for fatigue is one relatively fast and safe way to regain energy efficiently without leaving home. At Healthcall clinic, we provide IV drips tailored to your needs. Book your consultation Today

By definition, asylum is the legal protection afforded by the United States government to a person who can demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. The distinguishing feature of asylees is that they are seeking protection from deportation after having entered the United States, legally or illegally.
At Youngblood & Associates we are well-qualified and committed to represent you in seeking asylum.
There are two types of asylum: affirmative asylum and defensive asylum. The distinction between the two is whether or not the asylee has to defend himself in court.

A cascade of rock — 180 million tons of it — poured into Alaska’s Taan Fjord near the head of a retreating glacier on a mid-October’s night in 2015 (Figure 1). The landslide from the collapse of a hillside once supported by the glacier created a dirty and rocky tsunami that rolled hundreds of feet up the fjord’s shoreline in places.
The landslide generated seismic waves equivalent to those of a magnitude 4.9 earthquake, but the event wasn’t identified as a landslide for several hours. Evidence of a tsunami came later from visual observation.
No system currently exists to rapidly detect large landslides and determine whether they are close to open water and present a tsunami hazard.
Two Alaska Earthquake Center researchers have devised a way to do just that.
“The warming climate is causing glaciers to retreat, leaving behind valleys whose mountainsides and hillsides have lost their support,” said research seismologist Ezgi Karasözen. “This is important, especially in regions like southern coastal Alaska, because huge masses of land can and do spill into water and cause tsunamis.”
Karasözen and Michael West, director of the Alaska Earthquake Center at the Geophysical Institute, detailed their method in a paper published Feb. 9 in the journal The Seismic Record.
The two scientists write that their method of determining a landslide’s location, volume and potential impact is rapid enough to support the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s goal of issuing a tsunami warning within 5 minutes of a landslide.
Their paper calls attention to the danger of landslide-caused tsunamis by pointing to the Taan Fjord landslide, which created a tsunami that stripped vegetation as high as 620 feet above waterline.
A prototype system by Karasözen and West capable of real-time detection has been in place since August in the area of the Barry Arm of Prince William Sound. It uses data from seismic stations already in the Alaska network.
State and federal agencies fear a landslide and tsunami could occur at Barry Arm, where Barry Glacier has retreated and left behind an unsupported fjord wall that has slumped about 650 feet in recent decades. Retrospective analysis of seismic station data at Barry Arm revealed three landslides that occurred in 2020 and 2021 (Figure 2).
Karasözen and West write that the instability “has prompted concerns that a catastrophic failure could generate a tsunami with several meters of peak wave height reaching nearby communities in just 20 minutes.”
The U.S. Geological Survey is leading the multifaceted interagency monitoring of the area.
“With an earthquake, there are instruments that measure ocean wave heights, and tsunami warning centers are on alert after an earthquake,” Karasözen said. “But landslides aren’t systematically monitored in Alaska or elsewhere in the world. If a landslide-triggered tsunami were to happen, we wouldn't know. That’s a major concern.”
The method by Karasözen and West involves quickly identifying a landslide’s long-period waves amid a seismic record busy with short-period waves created not only by a landslide but also by nearby earthquakes and glaciers and by human-caused activity.
A landslide’s initial onset generally registers as short-period waves; it isn’t until the slide accelerates that the identifiable long-period waves materialize (Figure 3). Landslides produce disproportionately more long-period energy compared with other sources. Most earthquake ruptures last only seconds, while landslides routinely last a minute or more.
Coastal fjords present a significant challenge for landslide detection because glaciers can create hundreds of prominent seismic events daily, the researchers write.
Karasözen and West created an algorithm to continually scan seismic data from multiple seismic stations to look for a landslide wave signature. Finding a match, their system will estimate the slide’s location and volume. In areas with good seismic station coverage, location can be estimated to within a few miles.
The goal is to have the system alert tsunami and seismology agency personnel, but more work remains before that can occur.
To create the algorithm, the two researchers analyzed data of the three recent Barry Glacier landslides and six additional landslides — five of them in Southeast Alaska and one on the west side of lower Cook Inlet, across from the Kenai Peninsula (Figure 4).
Other efforts have been tried over recent decades. Several researchers have shown that landslide seismograms can be used to estimate location and volume, but those efforts usually were unique to a region, required considerable fine-tuning and were not designed for real-time purposes.
Determining landslide location from distant seismic stations doesn’t allow for real-time assessment, due to the time it would take for the seismic waves to reach those stations.
West said the research augments ongoing monitoring and alert efforts.
“The potential for real-time monitoring of large landslides is one important component of the interagency effort underway to address Alaska’s landslide challenge,” he said.


Information presented at the five-and-a-half hour meeting resulted in the Planning Commission’s directive to the City Planning Department: Issues must be addressed before moving forward with any decision on the project. As of this posting, no future date has been set for another hearing before the Planning Commission on the tank demolition.

Nice dude!! Oh, I just noticed, since I allied with the Plagor Empire, it's impossible to ally with their enemy (aka you)…… to war, is it then? Please reply to this on a review on ANY of my stuff. Or just e-mail me, it's firstname.lastname@example.org
Neat little interior design you have there. Anyway, about the gun turrets: if you look at the various tanks on this site, most of them have some kind of large, armored structure around the base of the gun. What's inside it may differ from vehicle to vehicle (sometimes ammo, sometimes a gunner, sometimes just the hinge that raises/lowers the gun) but it adds a little bit more balance to the overall appearance of the design. I'm sorry I wasn't clear on this earlier.

The bear stalking the U.S. markets has chewed up oil and gas stocks in December, leaving Wall Street analysts looking for crumbs of hope amid a large drop in crude oil prices and the exploration and production stocks shackled to the commodity.
In the six months through Christmas Eve, the S&P 500 Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Index nosedived right along with crude's nearly 40% decline, losing 34% of its value. Over the same time, the broader S&P 500 Index lost 14%, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data.
"The last few days of selling pressure in the crude markets has felt less fundamentally driven and more a function of the overall market meltdown as increased equity volatility and growing macro concerns have weighed on a number of asset classes," analysts at energy investment bank Tudor Pickering Holt & Co. said Dec. 26.
The good news, according to Tudor Pickering Holt and others, is that the downturn in crude prices will keep E&P spending under control as drillers build their 2019 spending plans. "The investor push for discipline has truly worked its way into the upstream culture," Tudor Pickering Holt said. "The November and December drop off in completions activity due to 2018 budget exhaustion meant that many upstream producers were already coming into early 2019 at lower activity levels (it's easier to hit the brakes at 25 than at 100)."
Further, when oil prices rise again, the free cash investors want to see should start flowing from E&P companies, several analysts said. "We could finally start seeing the big free cash flow inflection and it would likely come with higher margins," Wolfe Research LLC oil and gas analyst Josh Silverstein told his clients Dec. 23.
For shale gas drillers, the knock-on effect of lower crude prices will be less shale oil drilling with less associated gas coming to the market, keeping natural gas prices stable through 2019, several analysts said. "Structurally, the impact of lower oil prices on the associated gas growth rate (Permian production growth could be 2.0 Bcf/d lower longer term) and commencement of scheduled new LNG exports (expected to grow by YE 2019 to nearly 7.0 Bcf/d, from an average of about 4.0 Bcf/d in 4Q18) will be key themes to watch," B. Riley FBR Inc. oil and gas analyst Rehan Rashid told his clients Dec. 21.
Rashid has a bullish $3.50/Mcf gas price forecast for 2019, saying the lack of gas in storage combined with LNG export growth will keep pressure on the natural gas market. The Henry Hub forward strip averaged $2.98/Mcf as of Dec. 24.
Rashid said crude will stop sinking by the second half of 2019 and stabilize around $50 per barrel. West Texas Intermediate crude settled at $42.53 on Dec. 24. "U.S. supply growth rate of change could slow down meaningfully by 2H19," Rashid told his clients Dec. 21. "As public U.S. shale producers exhibit discipline, U.S. private E&Ps' lack of access to growth capital forces discipline, global demand growth slows down but adherence to announced OPEC cuts stabilizes markets, and Iranian sanctions resume headline status. As such, we assume $50/bbl price average for next year and $55/bbl long term."
"The collapse, while painful, couldn't have come at a better time as operators were in the process of setting spending plans for 2019," Tudor Pickering Holt said. "If this had happened in March or April, it may have taken longer for industry to respond as budgets would have just been approved and announced to the market."

Learn By Doing: Learn to Code by Coding Exercises and Projects
This free Java video course teaches skills, not just theory. Each course section comes with carefully prepared hand-on practical exercises, where you write code to solve practical problems, run and test your solutions, maybe make bugs, fix them, and test your code over and over until it finally works properly. The entire course provides more than 70 exercises, with automated grading in the SoftUni judge system.
Remember that coding is a skill, and it should be practiced, just like any other skill. Write code to learn the skill of coding!
Automated Grading System for Your Code
To check your solutions of the practical hands-on exercises from this course, I give you a free access to the SoftUni’s automated judge system, where you send your Java code, and you get automated grading: the judge tells you whether your solution is correct or wrong. This is quite useful. Try it and you will love it!
During the course lessons I will show you how to solve many coding problems. Follow my guidelines and sample solutions and write your own solutions. Try to solve the additional exercise problems as well. Write code, play with the code, experiment, make bugs and imperfections, fix them, write code, do it many times! This is how you acquire coding skills.
Spend Enough Time on the Exercises!
Don’t skip the coding exercises at the end of each course section! They are much more important than the video lessons. The exercises give you the practical skills, the skills needed for your next tech job.
If you are serious about programming, take this course with all its exercises. You should invest about 30 or maybe 40 hours. Yes, this is a lot of time, but learning programming takes time! Just like learning math. Did you remember how many hours you spent at school to learn the basics of math?
In case you have a question or difficulty solving some of the exercise problems, or you have a bug, and you don’t know how to fix it, we are here to help. Join the SoftUni community and ask our coding mentors for free anything about coding and particularly about this course and its practical exercises.
This Java Course is Just a Start
This course is just a start in Java programming. To become a software engineer and start a tech job, you should learn and practice programming 10-15 times more than what I give you in this course. It takes time and effort to build the skills for your first IT job, so be patient and keep coding for long time (1-2 years until your first developer job).
If someone says that a beginner can learn programming and start a job in 3 or 5 months, don’t believe him. This is unlikely to happen. You better study slowly and thoroughly. The effort will pay off.

Just send your code solution for certain coding problem from this course and the system will tell you whether your solution is correct or not and what exactly is missing or wrong. I am sure you will love the judge system, once you start using it!
Java Coding: First Steps
This section is the beginning of our journey with Java coding. I will explain you what Java is, the Java programming language, the Java platform, JDK, the Java runtime environment, what a compiler is, what an IDE (integrated development environment) is, and how to write simple Java programs in IntelliJ IDEA, a modern Java IDE. I will demonstrate you how to write, compile and run Java programs with several code examples.
As a homework assignment, you will have a few hands-on exercises: writing a few simple Java programs, such as what I demonstrated to you, and submitting your solutions to the judge system.
Expressions and Statements in Java
In the next course section, I will talk about variables and data types (such as string, integer number, floating-point number, boolean and others), statements (which define the commands in the programs), the most used arithmetic operators (like plus, minus, multiply, divide and remainder) and the expressions in Java (or how to combine operators with values to implement a calculation).
I explain and demonstrate how to implement a console-based input and output in Java. I will show you how to read user input, format and print output to the console, and how to read and print text and numbers. I will teach you how to use the java.util.Scanner class to read text and numbers and how to work with integers and decimal numbers.
As a homework assignment you will have several hands-on exercises related to reading some data from the standard input, performing simple calculations with them and printing the results in a certain format.
In the next section I will explain and demonstrate how to write simple if-else statements in Java. Conditional statements (like the if-else statement, the switch-case statement and few other statements in Java) check some condition and if it is true, they execute certain block of code, otherwise they execute another block of code. We shall see how they work in practice and after that, as usually, you will have homework assignments.
You will have several hands-on exercises related to reading some data, performing a check and printing a result, depending on the input data and the checks.
Advanced Conditional Statements
In the next section of the free Java coding basics course, it’s time to start writing more complex program logic. I will show you how to use complex conditions in your if-statements: how to use the logical OR, logical AND, and logical NOT operators, as well as brackets, to design more complex checks. Additionally, I will demonstrate you through examples, how to write nested if-else statements, and longer sequences of if-else-else-if-else constructions. Together we shall solve several practical problems.
As usually, you will have a homework assignment: to solve a few hand-on exercises, that combine complex and nested conditions for processing some input data and calculating and printing certain results.
For Loops in Java
In the next course section I will teach you how to use the for-loop statement in Java, in its basic form.
In programming loops are used to repeat a block of code many times, typically for each value in given range. For example, we can write a for loop, which increases the value of a variable x from 1 to 50 and prints the value of x at each step. You will see how to do this in action, and then practice with the hand-on exercises, which I have prepared for homework.
In the next section I will explain the concept of while loops. While loops in Java allow code blocks to be repeated, as long as certain condition is true. Let’s see how this works in more detail.
As usually, I will explain the concepts to you through examples, then you’ll have homework exercises to practice your new skills from this topic.
In the next course section I will talk about nested loops. In programming, loops can be nested. This means putting another loop in the body of a loop. We can have several nested loops: we can have a loop in another loop, which holds a third loop.
And nesting is natural in the real world. For example, a building can have many floors and each floor can have many rooms. In this way we nest the floors inside the building and the rooms on each floor. If we want to walk around the building and print each of its rooms on each of the floors, we must use nested loops.
You will see how the nested loops work in action and then solve some practical exercises that I will give you as a homework.
Coding Exercises: The Most Important Part of This Course!
The most essential part of this practical Java training are the hands-on exercises: the homework assignments after each course section. The entire course provides more than 70 exercises, with automated grading in the SoftUni judge system. You should spend about 30 hours of coding to solve them. Yes, this is a serious effort, but it will pay off.
Remember that the only way you get practical skills is by practice: by writing code, by solving exercises. Watching video lessons can be pleasant and motivational, but you will never become a software developer by only watching videos. It is a good start, but it’s not enough.
Please, follow the exercises: solve the practical problems and send your solutions to the judge system for grading. You have more than 70 exercises to solve. Most of them were already solved in the video lessons, but the others were intentionally left for you.

While speaking at the 40th-anniversary celebration of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, in Abuja, yesterday, Falana said 60.2 million barrels of oil was stolen from Nigeria.
Falana stated that the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, recorded the theft, wile explaining that the crude oil was stolen and discharged at a port in Philadelphia, US.
The Senior Advocate consequently urged PENGASSAN to prevail on the government to trace the funds.
He said, “The study revealed that the value of the money from oil stolen from Nigeria is $12.7 billion. The oil was discharged in one port.
“We have identified who the oil majors are and the shipping companies involved, but since 2014, we have been begging the Nigeria government to recover the money.”

On-line Parameter Identification Scheme for Vector Controlled Drive of Synchronous Reluctance Motor without Shaft Encoder

The control characteristics of a SynRM are investigated on the basis of a simple parameter estimation system. To control synchronous reluctance motors (SynRMs), position and speed sensors are indispensable because the current should be controlled depending on the rotor position. Consequently, a sensorless control method based on extended electromotive force (EEMF) models considering magnetic saturation is proposed for SynRM. A decoupled vector control for SynRM drive has been presented. One of the most important advantages of the vector control is its ability to change the magnitude, frequency, and phase angle of the phase supply voltages, due to the independent control of flux and torque. Moreover, an effective and simple online parameter identification method for sensorless control is presented to estimate the armature resistance and the q-axis inductance of SynRMs. The identification method is developed based on the fact that, in practice the d-axis inductance is almost constant. The position sensorless control using identified motor parameters is realized, and simulation results are included to prove the effectiveness of the overall control system under different operating conditions. Therefore, the proposed on-line identification scheme gives fast and accurate transient performance over a wide range of speed and torque operation.
Keywords: Extended electromotive force (EEMF), magnetic saturation, online parameter identification, sensorless control, synchronous reluctance motors (SynRMs).
