Born in Havana, Cuba in 1972, Mendez studied art at the Elemental School of Fine Arts "20 de Octubre". In 1991, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Academy of Fine Arts of San Alejandro in Havana. Currently he lives and paints in Mexico City.
Striving for originality, Mendez experiments with non-traditional techniques when painting to obtain new textures and effects. Always on a canvas base, Miguel paints with mixed media utilizing different pictorial materials like water with the acrylics and grease with the oil; sometimes he incorporates cured canvas to add greater volume and to visually accentuate the lines on his paintings, which provides a richer aesthetic. Relying heavily on drawings for the general theme of the painting, he incorporates bold forms and strong symbols to contribute to his interpretation of a theme.
Mendez' paintings are an equilibrium of balance and color with the use of figurative symbols to convey the central idea of his paintings. He envisions his paintings as sculptures, as tridimensional objects; he often uses the human anatomy as his dominant object because he thinks that we all are part of the mind, the human ideas, and its physical form is very strong and rich.

Human Brain Project research has helped lay the foundation for a brain implant that could one day give blind people their sight back. Recent discoveries at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN) show that in monkeys, newly developed high-resolution implants in the visual cortex make it possible to recognize artificially induced images. The findings were published in Science on 3 December. For further development towards application in humans, the high-resolution 3D digital brain atlases of HBP's EBRAINS Research Infrastructure will become instrumental.
It's no secret the US Army wants its small unmanned aerial systems to operate quietly in densely-populated regions, but tests to achieve this can be expensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive according to researchers.
Sailing from Hobart, twenty researchers aboard CSIRO's RV Investigator hope to capture the most detailed picture yet of how marine life in the Southern Ocean captures and stores carbon from the atmosphere.
A new tool combining traditional pathology with machine learning could predict which breast cancer patients actually need surgery. The technology, reported in the November issue of American Journal of Physiology -- Cell Physiology (vol. 319: C910-C921; https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpcell.00280.2020), could spare women from unnecessary treatments, reduce medical expenses, and lead to a new generation of drugs to stop breast cancer recurrences.
Restoration of vision in blind people through a brain implant is on the verge of becoming reality.

Dropping a cell phone can sometimes cause superficial cracks to appear. But other times, the device can stop working altogether because fractures develop in the material that stores data. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Applied Polymer Materials have made an environmentally friendly, gelatin-based film that can repair itself multiple times and still maintain the electronic signals needed to access a device's data. The material could be used someday in smart electronics and health-monitoring devices.
Researchers have developed a way for a material to store energy in its skin through invertible domes.
Automated deep learning analysis of abdominal CT images produces a more precise measurement of body composition and predicts major cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, better than overall weight or body mass index (BMI), according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

Jesus and socialism
It has been noted by some proponents of leftist ideology that Jesus was one of the first socialists. This accusation is based on the admonition of the savior that the rich should give to the poor otherwise they could in no way inherit the kingdom of heaven. The scripture states; "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." -Matthew 10:25 I'm thinking that someone didn't do very much research when they came to the conclusion that the only effective way to give to the poor was through the dismantling of the free trade market and usurpation of power by government officials.
The distortion is that the savior advocated government mandated redistribution of wealth. Nothing could be further from the truth. in fact there is a fundamental difference. On the one hand you are using your agency to give to the poor which is an admirable thing, and on the other hand the government takes your money by force. I recently heard Michael Moore say that he was a true Christian because he is looking out for the poor and wants to see them get a fair share. I would first off like to see Mr Moore lead by example by giving all of his money to the poor just as Jesus advocated. I however do not believe this will happen. I think he likes money more that he lets on. It is the same with him as it is with every other rich socialist who hypocritically believes that everyone else's money should be taken away from them. Another famous rich person, Mat Damon, said he could stand to be taxed a little more, But far be it for him to give away that extra money to a responsible charity, lets just give it to the government because they really know how to properly spend money.
The principle flaw in socialist thinking is that you are not asking people to exercise their free will to give to the poor according to the dictates of their conscious, rather you are making it a law that forces them to give away their money. Jesus would never implement this kind of force upon people. if we have learned nothing through a sad history of oppression and tyranny the world over, we should at the very least take away the learned fact that you cannot force people to believe something, you cannot take away their property without a fight, and you cannot make anybody love you or your God by force.
Those who wish to give to the needy through the pocketbooks of the unwilling can take no credit for moral charity, nor can they assert that this form of theft is a Christian value. When the savior spoke with a wealthy young man he told him to give all that he had to the poor. The man walked away in sorrow because his heart was affixed to his abundance of worldly possessions, and Jesus let him go with all his riches in tact.
In this scenario a Socialist would have gone into the man's house and taken away that which the man possessed and distributed it to the people. In this scenario socialist such as Mr. Moore have overlooked a principle commandment, "Thou shalt not steal."
It seems to be a fundamental fact that when socialism is implemented on a society two things happen; mass genocide, and the rise of a dictator. It goes without saying that bloodshed will always be a factor when individual freedom is on the line but what about God? Is he a dictator? I find it difficult to believe that anyone can compare the murderous ideology of socialism to the tenants of Christianity. The very words of Jesus advocate true charity, faith, and hope, where as the ideological despot Karl Marks talked of religion as an opiate for the masses, as though there is no hope
In a socialistic world everyone puts their share into the pot and the government gets to distribute it equally to every household regardless of their contribution, and otherwise dictate where the money gets put for other societal uses. There comes a point however when the people don't want to work as hard as the next guy because they get paid the same no matter how good or bad they are at their job.
As the bar becomes increasingly lower and lower so does the standard of living, and no matter what you do a single person can not change it unless an incentive is provided by the government to work harder so the people on the whole can get a little more. Once the government realizes that the people are not going to change for the better due to this unmovable standard of work ethic the need arises to rid the society of the useless factions that are weighing it down. This is the part where murder comes into play.
In contrast one of the most basic factors of our existence is free will, the ability to choose one's destiny. God gave us a mind to exercise our own judgment and to decide for ourselves weather to make righteous decisions or to work iniquity, the choice is ours.
One of the enemies of socialism is the church. The church is in competition with the government, it provides an alternate means of support for the people. The people support the church in it's finances and decides where to send aid to those who are struggling. But in a socialistic world there is no extra money to give to the church and it would be ineffective at performing this major function to help the needy, and as the savior said "ye have the poor with you always" -Mark 14:7 we can't just get rid of them.
Historically socialist governments have used the church to manipulate their people. They hired clergy men who were government workers and put them in place to spy on their own people. They taught the faithful that their allegiance is to the government and that God and the afterlife are a distant second.
Though only regarded as a mere premise of thought, the two clashing ideologies of capitalism and socialism are constantly at odds and it is these ideas that are always under question. The question arises, was there a time when the people stood with a unanimous voice that the United States would not succumb to the tenets of social justice. It seems to be that in hindsight this is true, but even in the conversationalist days of God fearing, freedom loving, American antiquity there has been an opposition movement, and some form of ideology which on the surface seemed like an easy fix for the economic woes of the country
"We are at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it has been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening." Ronald Regan

SIR: Most residents of Kano were full of hope that perhaps, the era of bad roads within Kano metropolis may have finally come to an end given the pomp and pageantry with which the formal launch of the repair of the 31 metropolitan roads in Kano was conducted by the state government last year.
Sadly however, instead of getting some respite, it all turns out to be mere false hope. The initial sigh of relief has given way to endless gloom, suffering and despair because as it stands today, some of the roads slated for repair like ‘Yan-tsaki, Darmanawa, Unguwa Ukku, Farm Centre roads, and Sharada, among several others, have remained in critical states of disrepair.
Worse, most contractors handling the projects have since demobilized from sites. In all honesty, this issue has prompted deluge of questions as to the actual reason for the current state of affairs. Could it be due to lack of adequate funding by the state government, or rather, the usual contractual breeches and/or what for goodness sake?
That the high value projects holding so much promises to add value to the state both economically, socially, and even politically be left uncompleted has left a lot to be desired.
In any case, Kano deserves something better than this especially now that the period of politicking is over. It is imperative that government realize the enormity of the problems at hand and appreciate the gesture of the good people of Kano who voted for continuity in the last general election. Their votes shouldn’t be construed as mere tea party, but a call to prompt service delivery and not systemic failure as is being witnessed today in so far as the 31 metropolitan Kano roads are concerned!
The inherent feelings of despair pervading the landscape at the moment due to menace of bad roads in the metropolis needed to be assuaged quickly and government must truly recognize and respect the people’s mandate; and part of this involves the prompt repair of the abandoned 31 metropolitan roads!
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje should spare a thought for the suffering of the people by revisiting the road contracts as the roads have become both eyesores and menace to both residents and visitors alike with a view to initiating new processes of completing them in good time for the overall benefit of humanity.
- Kabir Tsakuwa, Kano.

Hungarian Sheepdog, Hungarian Komondor, Mop Dog
The komondor is a large, muscular dog, with plenty of bone and substance; it is slightly longer than tall. Its gait is light and leisurely, with long strides. Its hallmark coat is double, consisting of a dense wooly undercoat and a coarser outer coat that is wavy or curly. The undercoat is trapped in the outer coat so that it forms strong, felty, tassel-like cords. This coat helped protect the dog from the elements as well as the teeth of tough adversaries. It also helped the dog to blend in with its flock.
The Komondor, being naturally wary of strangers, makes an excellent house guard dog. They are devoted to their master and will defend him against attack by any stranger. This trait makes it advisable that the dog only be used as a herd/flock guardian/protector, not for driving. When mature, the breed is an earnest, courageous, very faithful herd/flock guardian. While a puppy, the Komondor is playful.
|Height||25.5 inches (65 cm)|
|Weight||125 pounds (59 kg)|
|Good In Apartments||
This dog does best in a clean country environment where he can receive extensive daily exercise, but it will do okay in an apartment if sufficiently exercised. It does well in most climates, for the Komondor lives for many months outdoors in all kinds of weather.
|Good With Children||
Not Good with Kids: In isolation, this dog breed might not be the best option for kids. However, to mitigate the risks, have the puppy grow up with kids and provide it with plenty of pleasant and relaxed experiences with them. This breed is also very friendly toward other pets and shy toward strangers.
|Good With Dogs||
|Good With Cats||
It is possible to keep this breed in an urban environment although the country is more to its liking. If they are not actively working as a flock guardian, they need to be taken on a daily, long brisk walk. This dog can be extremely lazy and will sleep and rest for hours upon hours.
Moderately Easy Training: The Komondor requires firm, consistent training at an early age because it will be very large, strong, and fast when fully grown. Obedience training is strongly recommended. A praise-based approach with plenty of variety will likely yield the best results.
Moderate Maintenance: The coat doesn’t shed much, but the cords must be separated regularly to maintain their look, and the coat does attract dirt. Once a Komondor is past young puppyhood his coat will probably never have its earlier pristine whiteness. The coat should never be dirty, matted, or bad smelling.
Minimal Shedding: This dog will shed a negligible amount. Recommended for owners who do not want to deal with dog hair in their cars and homes.

The Social Democratic Party (PSD) will not support in Parliament a Liberal minority government, and snap election is the only solution if the governing coalition parties cannot sort out the current crisis.
"PSD will throw its parliamentary support behind no Liberal minority government whatsoever. PSD will support no government led by the National Liberal Party (PNL) or the Save Romania Union - Freedom, Unity and Solidarity Party (USR PLUS) alliance. PSD categorically rules out any such scenario," PSD said in a statement on Wednesday.
According to the Social Democrats, President Klaus Iohannis and the three parties "that lost the election last year" are responsible for the crisis "they have single-handedly created".
"If Iohannis is not able to do his job as a mediator, the only solution is to return to the people through snap elections, because the current Parliament no longer meets the popular will, and the Romanians have figured out how harmful PNL and USR PLUS are for the entire society," the statement reads.

U.D.H.R. = Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948
An International Bill of Rights. WORLD LAW posted at the United Nations
Everyone should read these rights, just so you know whats going on: http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/index.html
"UDHR" United Nations "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" 1948 (World Law for everyone on Earth), its a Bill of 30 Rights
"The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot, Paris........." -Wikipedia
share my Facebook list of the 30 UDHR Rights
UDHR Article 2. http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/index.html
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.
Even if your country does not agree, these are your rights. Our country, my country, the USA harbors the United Nations in New York (legislative, while the judiciary is in Geneva Switzerland, that's where they do the war crime hangings, someone didn't observe peoples rights)
We have the right to a reasonable, liveable Minimum Wage. We have a right to full Unemployment Compensation, not just half the year. We have a right to Social Security from the government, not thru some privatized company (if your going to privatize, privatize Congreff first. We can have legislative action(?) for much cheaper, hire China? or Mexico? they work cheap, long hours). If the government borrows from social security, they can pay it back. Unemployment and Social Security are not gifts from the government, not the whim of a generous or moody social worker, they are Rights.
UDHR Article 25. http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/index.html
(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
(2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.
"whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection"
You do not have permission to fire a woman for being an unwed mother.
The shame of the Republican Party, that they would try to make laws so that it is OK to fire women who have had children out of wedlock; that they would try to defund Planned Parenthood, they never studied the Social Sciences intro courses in college: psychology, sociology, and anthropology, you need two of the three for a degree (unless its a trade college or religious college, while I do think those units or credits should be valid, you still need the social sciences which they do not teach. In all 3 of those courses, they teach that Most Homeless People do not deserve to be homeless, they were just victims of circumstances (and the reason that most people think it is the homeless persons fault, is, it would ruin their illusion of a perfect world, which it is not. Bad stuff sometimes happens to good people. But many in Cogreff have had no education in the social sciences. President Trump and his pick for Education (trade college in business, not education). They teach the same things in every college in America (and pretty much around the world) but the President, his Cabinet, and much of Congreff, embarrass the entire United States on a regular basis, by obviously not knowing the basics of the social sciences or international law, or even the Bill of Rights (kick neredowells out of congreff, however to do so, requires a 2/3 vote by his fellow thieves). Go to school or something. They should have a crash course for Congreff and the President, explaining some of the basics they need to observe, as taught in every college in America (except trade and religious colleges don't cover those materials, Religious colleges do not cover human evolution, anthropology).
We the United States pushed UDHR on the rest of the world, and now we had better live by it too. It is World Law for all countries, even if they are not members of the United Nations, and we are. International Law Supersedes Federal Law. Recently at the wikipedia article, someone changed the article to read "although not legally binding". Well if it is not legally binding? what is? if there is no law, then what wikipedia? I have written the ACLU Nationwide at Facebook etc, but the comment remains? Perhaps the Bill of Rights is not legally binding? its the same type of thing basically. UDHR has had the signatures of many US Presidents (all since 1948 as of Bush Jr). Read UDHR Article 2, its legally binding. We pushed it, we signed it, and we are not going back to slavery, we don't allow torture, we have the right to life, liberty, and security of person.

CONGRESS must Comply with UDHR or Get Out. They have wasted Years of time trying to go against UDHR every step, when they know it is International Law which they must comply to, they know the USA pushed it on the world in 1948, they know they must live by it, and they waste everyone's time.

Aim. To explore the experience and strategies of mental health well-being through resilience in older people across the four participating countries. Background. While there is increasing evidence of the way older people maintain physical well-being, there has not been the same emphasis when examining the ways in which older people enhance their resilience and so promote mental health well-being. Design. An Appreciative Inquiry approach was used. Method. A convenience sample of 58 people over the age of 65 years from Australia, UK, Germany, and South Africa were interviewed. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results. Participants described their experiences of mental health well-being in relation to: social isolation and loneliness; social worth; self-determination; and security. Strategies utilised include promoting resilience by maintaining community connections and relationships, keeping active, and emotional, practical and spiritual coping. Conclusion. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining mental health well-being through resilience. Although there were some variations between countries, these strategies for maintaining well-being transcended culture and nation. Relevance to clinical practice. Listening to older people through research such as the current study will help to determine what help is needed and how healthcare and policy makers can assist.

Check Out Selena Gomez Without Her Extensions
Though it's no secret that celebrities use enough fake hair annually to reach to the moon and back, it's easy to forget that they aren't blessed with magical unicorn hair-growing powers. So when Selena Gomez went without her extensions for the Jingle Ball, it was a reminder that she's a human like the rest of us. The singer's natural hair certainly isn't short — Gomez is sporting an on-trend lob that reaches just past her collarbones. Though mermaid hair has become Gomez's trademark, her natural hair is sporty and chic, and a refreshing new look for the singer.
Gomez has been open to admit that her waist-length locks aren't natural: in an interview with YouTuber Lilly Singh, Gomez joked that her hair was "very fake." She certainly isn't the only star to turn to a little extra hair to zhush up her look — Kim Kardashian, Gwen Stefani, Solange Knowles, Beyoncé, Ariana Grande and pretty much every celebrity who's been in front of a camera lens has added a little extra hair here and there. And let's not forget celebs like Lady Gaga, the veritable Queen of Wigs. Or Kylie Jenner, whose most famous looks are courtesy of helper hair.
Hair extensions in all their permutations are popular among celebs because they offer a quick and easy way to change up your look, but celebrities aren't the only ones in the market: Fashionista reports that stores that sold hair extensions and wigs grossed over $300 million in sales in 2014. By the way, that includes only brick-and-mortar locations in the United States. The international online market for human hair is purported to bring in billions. Though there are serious issues with the ethical sourcing of human hair, hair extensions and hairpieces are ideal for those that can't commit to one hair style.
Whether you're growing out a lob, or your hair is recovering from an at-home bleach job in your quest for rainbow hair, or you just don't want all the extra maintenance that comes with growing really long hair, extensions could be the solution for your bad hair days. Here are the most popular options.
A Single Weft
Halo Couture's extensions are the ultimate way to add length and volume with barely any effort. Their original extensions are made up of one weft of hair that's attached with a wire "halo", and all you have to do is pull your own hair over the wire once it's resting on your head. I had the chance to try these out at a hair show once, and can say from experience that they are just as convenient as they say.
Clip-in extensions are super popular for two reasons: they're not too expensive, and there are a million tutorials showing you how to put them in yourself.
Tape-in extensions are exactly what they sound like: extensions that are attached to your natural hair with a special tape adhesive. Unlike clip-ins, tape-in extensions are require professional installation, upkeep, and removal, so be prepared for a time and money commitment.

Global traffic results for July show are showing slower growth in both air travel and freight, but with considerable variation by region and market, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) reports.
July passenger demand in aggregate was 3.4 percent higher than the same month last year, compared to a 6.3 percent increase in June and average growth of 6.5 percent over the first half of the year. This slowdown in travel growth is being driven largely by the recent fall in business confidence in many economies, IATA says.
Airlines have responded to this slower growth environment by reducing the capacity added to markets, a move which has stabilized load factors at relatively high levels and provided some support for profitability in the face of high fuel prices, IATA says. In July passenger capacity rose 3.6 percent, in line with the expansion of traffic, keeping the load factor at a relatively high 83.1 percent.
“The uncertain economic outlook is having a negative impact on demand for air transport,” said Tony Tyler, IATA’s Director General and CEO. “The cargo business is 3.2 percent smaller than it was a year ago. And passenger markets—with the exception of Africa, China-domestic and the Middle East—saw demand fall from June to July. Overall passenger demand is still up 3.4 percent on the previous July. But the growth trend is clearly slowing. This, along with rising fuel prices is likely to make it a tough second half of the year.”
International Passenger Markets: July international passenger demand was up 3.5 percent compared to the year-ago period, exactly in line with a 3.5 percent expansion in capacity. Load factors stood at 83.3 percent. The slowdown becomes evident when comparing to the previous month (June) when the year-on-year rate was 7.5 percent, IATA noted. Growth on average during the first half of the year was also 7.5 percent.
"The slowdown in international air travel growth has been concentrated in the past few months, in line with the decline of business confidence. Weakness in some key domestic air travel markets has been evident for rather longer period. Only African and Middle Eastern carriers showed month-to-month growth. Carriers in all other regions reported aggregate declines for international demand for July compared to June," IATA said.
North American airlines’ international traffic fell 2.1 percent year-on-year in July (after rising 1.6 percent in June) in part owing to decisions to trim capacity, particularly on the North Atlantic market. Compared to June (the previous month), demand contracted by 1.3 percent. The load factor was 86.7 percent, the highest among all regions.
Domestic Passenger Markets: Domestic markets also experienced slow growth, continuing the trend that began early this year, IATA reports. While China and Brazil recorded strong growth that was offset by weakness in India and Japan, US traffic slipped 0.4 percent in July while capacity rose by 0.2 percent. Load factors dipped to 86.8 percent from 87.4 percent last year, still the highest among all the domestic markets.
“The huge success of the London Olympics was also an important reminder of the vital role that international aviation plays in bringing the world together and facilitating global mega-events. Now all eyes are on Brazil which will host the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. And aviation will play a key role there as well,” said Tyler.

Sunny Deol was a superstar in the 90s. He happens to be veteran actor Dharmendra’s son and was massively popular back in the day and has given us some of the most incredible characters to remember him by. Sunny once did a film with legendary late director Yash Chopra titled ‘Darr’ opposite Shah Rukh Khan and it was a huge hit back then but do y’all know that he had disagreements with the late director and didn’t speak to SRK for 16 years post the film. Scroll below to read the scoop.
This is the same film, which made SRK a superstar overnight and also do you guys remember his iconic dialogue, “K-k-k-k-kiran,” yes, it’s that film only. It was when Sunny appeared on ‘Aap Ki Adalat’ and he recalled this memory while spilling some years old secrets about the film and director.
Sunny Deol apparently had a heated discussion regarding the climax of ‘Darr’ with Yash Chopra and said, “I had a heated discussion with Yash Chopra regarding that scene. I tried explaining that I am a commando officer in the film. My character is an expert and fit, then how can this boy beat me easily? He can beat me if I can’t see him. If he can stab me while I am looking at him, then I won’t be called a commando.”
Sunny Deol was so angry with Yash Chopra that he ripped his pants off in anger and said, “Soon, out of anger, I didn’t even realise that I had ripped my pants with my hands.”
Reportedly, post the film, Sunny and Shah Rukh Khan didn’t speak to each other for 16 years and Deol said, “It’s not that I didn’t talk but I just cut myself off and I anyway don’t socialise much. So we never met, toh baat karne ki baat he nahi hai.”
What are your thoughts on Sunny Deol not speaking to SRK for 16 years? Tell us in the comments below.

Boris Johnson announces what would make him leave office
(MENAFN) The UK Premier Boris Johnson has revealed a drive that would make him resign. Any cabinet decision that would mean “abandoning” Ukraine in its war against Russia would make him “go,” Johnson updated BBC.
Johnson has been under fire for quite some time now over many problems, as well as a breach of Covid-19 measures, to which he later stated. A large figure of politicians have urged Johnson to leave his post, yet the embattled head of administration survived a no-confidence vote in June. He also updated BBC that “if it was put to me that we had to abandon the Ukrainian cause because it was simply getting too difficult,” it’ll be a loss too much to handle.
Johnson added “I would accept that I have lost a very important argument and I would go,” noting, he does not plan to resign.

Those of us who follow education policy in this state didn't need a poll to know that Christie's education policies have hamstrung our public schools.
But the numbers in this recent Rutgers Eagleton poll are very telling.
Support of Christie’s performance on education has remained steady since June: 44 percent of all voters approve and 49 percent disapprove. Republicans are more than twice as likely as Democrats to back the governor. Independents are slightly more likely to disapprove than approve."So more of the general public disapprove of this handling of education than approve. Not earth shattering or surprising, but noteworthy. But then catch this part.
Among the 13 percent of voters who call education the state’s most pressing problem, 88 percent disapprove of Christie’s performance and only 8 percent are positive. (emphasis mine.)Now THAT is staggering. 88% of people who are passionate about education think Christie is on the wrong track. 88%!!! Christie has next to no support in the education community.
And if you ask me (which you didn't) this is not just a comment on Christie himself, it's a repudiation of the national ed reform playbook. Christie's education policies aren't new or his own. In fact, some of them are veritable copies of ALEC model legislation.
Christie is just flat out wrong on SO MANY issues. Gay marriage, medical marijuana, gun control..
Oh, but that's right, he's a political celebrity now. The issues no longer matter.

Mt. Akahage which is also a farm
Chiburijima is the closest of the Oki Islands to the main island of Honshu and it is also seen as the gateway to the islands. The 325m-high Mt. Akahage is located on the western side of the island. Although it is a mountain, the entire region is farmland which resembles a rounded prairie where cows and horses can be seen everywhere. Since the road heading to the mountain is also part of the pasture, cows can be seen walking on that road. You will feel at ease from the sight of cows lazily spending their time.
A superb viewing spot overlooking all 4 of the Oki Islands
There are a number of observation points on the Oki Islands, but the highest one is the observation point on Mt. Akahage. Located some 20 minutes away from Port Kurii by car, from this point, you can get a 360-degree panoramic view which includes all 4 of the Oki Islands, and if the weather is clear, you can even see the Shimane Peninsula and Mt. Daisen in Shimane Prefecture. During the Golden Week holidays from April into May, flowers of the wild radish bloom which paint the entire peak in pink. The contrast is magnificent with the blue of the sky and sea, the green of the grass and the pink of the flowers.
The high cliff of Akakabe created by nature
The massive steep cliff of Akakabe located at the southwestern point of the island has been nationally designated as a Place of Scenic Beauty and a Natural Monument. Akakabe is a huge cliff stretching for about 1km consisting of basalt infused with iron and tuff rock. In terms of height, the cliff can range from 50m to its highest point of 200m. Due to the degree of the weathering, the coloring of the cliff changes through red, yellow, purple and other colors to create a brilliant contrast. Akakabe is also known for the beauty of its scenery at sunset with its rock face taking on a scarlet color when the sun goes down. Along with its status as an observation point, ocean cruising in the area is also popular.

This study evaluated the combined effects of storage temperature, storage time, display temperature, display time, and fat level on ground beef color. Storage at 32°F minimized discoloration during display compared to storage at 40° and 48°F. Storage up to 12 days at 32°F did not affect ground beef color stability, whereas prolonged storage at 40° and 48°F increased discoloration dramatically. When storage was at 32°F, sales loss was 0.4%, compared to 62% at 48°F. Fat level did not influence discoloration. The use of 32°F during storage and display is essential for maximizing ground beef color life.

Firing up Asia’s nuclear future1 September 2022
Asia features the world’s fastest-growing economies and is turning to new nuclear to power its ambitions for sustainable growth.
Largely muted growth of new nuclear capacity across the Western world comes in sharp contrast to the East, where many nations are planning or building new plants.
According to recent analysis from the World Nuclear Association (WNA), there are already 140 operable nuclear power reactors across the region, a further 30-odd are currently under construction and there are firm plans to build at least another 50 reactors.
Although development across Asia is a mixed bag, reflecting the region’s diversity, there are many active markets with clear development plans. About a quarter of worldwide operational reactors are located in Asia. Of these well over 100 are within the six countries of China, Japan, South Korea, India, Pakistan and Taiwan, which field a combined capacity of close to 100 GWe.
The regional nuclear power league table is led by China, which has been pushing its domestic nuclear ambitions since the 1970s. Asia is home to about two-thirds of all the reactors currently under construction worldwide. Of these, almost 20 reactors are being built in China alone, which is developing a mix of domestic and western technology. With 54 operable reactors and a total capacity of 52.2 GWe, China has another 33 reactors in the planning stage which are expected to add a further 37 GWe. Over the 10 years to the end of 2021, China built 39 rectors out of the global total of 68, increasing the national nuclear contribution by a factor of about four. China has set out plans to reach 70 GWe of nuclear capacity by the end of 2025 and between six and eight new nuclear reactors are expected to be approved each year, adding some 9 GWe annually through to 2030.
Following China on the regional league table comes Japan with a technical installed capacity of more than 31 GWe from its 33 installed reactors. However, the majority of these plants remain shut down following on from the Fukushima Diiachi disaster of 2011 with the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) demanding additional safety measures be installed. Nonetheless, the country has been slow to restart even those reactors now deemed safely operable. Recently Japan’s prime minister demanded that further nine reactors be returned to service by winter. Prior to the tsunami around a third of Japan’s electricity came from nuclear and that proportion was expected to increase further as more reactors were on the cards for development. Now, plans to significantly expand nuclear capacity have been dropped, although WNA notes that two reactors are under construction with a combined capacity of 2.8 GWe and one further reactor is planned at 1.4 GWe. Even so, analysis from IHS Markit indicates Japan’s nuclear generation share will fall further, from 29% in 2020 to 22% by 2030 as reactors reach the end of their service life.
The Fukushima disaster also had a stultifying effect on other nuclear ambitions across the region, prompting many nations to reappraise their development plans. Alongside Japan, South Korea and Taiwan have both seen opposition to new nuclear capacity increase over the last decade.
Taiwan, for example, has three operating nuclear power plants, which produce about 10% of the island’s electricity. A fourth plant, Lungmen, was never commissioned and in December last year voters rejected the possibility of restarting construction of the two-unit mothballed facility. The current administration has a long-term policy of phasing out nuclear power by 2025.
Around a quarter of South Korea’s electricity comes from nuclear and it is currently pursuing export markets for its reactor technology, having just built the four-unit Barakah plant in the UAE. Currently home to 25 reactors and over 24 GWe of capacity, a further three reactors are under construction – Shin Hanul 2 and Shin-Kori 5 and 6. However, it too has faced political headwinds. The former president had announced a nuclear phaseout policy, although this policy was rejected by the incoming president Yoon Suk-yeol, who was elected earlier in 2022.
Set for growth
Despite some regional reticence, India has big plans to expand its current installed nuclear capacity, which includes 23 reactors and nearly 7 GWe. A further eight reactors are under construction and 12 more are in the planning phase for a combined 15 GWe. National nuclear capacity is expected to reach about 22.5 GWe by 2031. The bulk of India’s nuclear power programme is based on domestic technology and the country has also sought independence of its nuclear fuel cycle by developing its thorium resources. In the longer term, India is expected to reach 63 GWe of nuclear capacity within the 2030s.
Neighbouring Pakistan also plans a large increase in its nuclear power capacity, although it is building on a fleet of just six operating reactors with a combined capacity of 3.3 GWe that supply less than 10% of national electricity. The six operating plants were supplied by China and a further reactor is also planned. Nuclear remains an important element of the country’s energy policy with a longer-term goal of nearly 9 GWe at 10 sites by the end of the decade.
India’s eastward neighbour Bangladesh is also building nuclear capacity, with two VVER-1200 reactors under construction by Rosatom at Rooppur. Unit 1 is scheduled to start operating in 2023 and unit 2 in 2024. Rosatom will maintain the plant for the first year and Russia will also supply fuel for the plant.
Nearby Sri Lanka is also expected to take its first steps towards nuclear generation in the coming years. The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) produced its Long-Term Generation Expansion Plan 2015-2034 which includes a 600 MWe plant. A subsequent draft detailed two units, starting in 2035 and 2037, respectively. Sri Lanka is working with Russia on its nuclear programme and has also signed nuclear cooperation agreements with both India and Pakistan.
The Philippines is home to a mothballed nuclear power station that was never completed, although it is now considering a possible revival of the Bataan plant. This 621 MWe Westinghouse design was constructed in 1984 but soaring energy demand is prompting a reappraisal. The Philippine Energy Plan 2018-2040 included a Nuclear Power Programme Roadmap, targeting the first plant commissioning in 2027. The country is also looking at SMR development and has signed nuclear cooperation agreements with Rosatom to pursue this goal.
Thailand has operated a research reactor since 1977 but its more recent 2015 Power Development Plan sets out ambitions to build two 1000 MW units by 2036, a considerable delay on earlier plans for nuclear power development.
Similarly, Indonesia deferred earlier plans for a nuclear power plant but has more recently expressed renewed interest, in particular looking at SMRs and a ThorCon thorium molten salt reactor (TMSR). A timeframe of 2045 is anticipated for any substantial nuclear development but a 10 MWe experimental nuclear power reactor is expected to be built at Serpong.
In central Asia, Uzbekistan is also actively planning to develop nuclear power generation. Uzbekistan’s energy strategy will see nuclear power provide around 15% of national electricity demand by 2030 and the country has inked a deal with Russia for the development of a VVER-1200 reactor by 2028.
Kazakhstan is already one of the world’s biggest producers of uranium but currently has no operating nuclear power plants after a single reactor was decommissioned in 1999. Nonetheless, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev recently advocated a move towards nuclear power generation in Kazakhstan.
While China and India are clearly leading nuclear power development in the region, it is clear that many other Asian nations are looking to increase the nuclear contribution to their energy mix. Drivers for this growth include efforts to address climate change or reduce air pollution from coal-fired power stations in China, for instance, while some nations are looking to build energy independence or rapidly expand capacity as part of large-scale infrastructure development in response to economic growth, like India, for instance. Developments in Ukraine have further emphasised the importance of energy security and with many reactors in the region already more than 30 years old, the need for replacement is on the agenda. Rapid economic growth across the region and on-going environmental concerns are set to underpin renewed engagement with nuclear power. Mainland China and India share many common drivers for nuclear power development and are expected to be the primary promoters of this industry in Asia Pacific. It is perhaps no surprise that IHS Markit estimates the two populous and rapidly growing markets will likely underpin close to a third of the world’s total power demand additions during 2021-2050.

In recent years, the rapid economic development of various countries and regions, the transportation demand of various industries has also increased year by year, and the demand for turnover boxes, frames, and plastic pallets has increased. Our company designs and manufactures molds for customers' wine bottles, milk bottles and other bottle turnover boxes.
How to choose die steel?
The selection principle of injection mold materials The components of injection molds can be divided into two categories according to their uses. One type is structural components, including casting systems, guiding components, fixed (moving) templates, thimble components, and supporting components. Plastic injection molding materials are usually medium and low carbon structural steels or alloys. The other is molded parts, including cavities, cores and inserts, etc., which are key components for direct manufacturing of plastic parts. The operating temperature of the injection mold is 200 to 300°C. The cavity of the injection mold is complex, and it has high requirements for dimensional accuracy and surface roughness. Corresponding requirements are put forward for the processing performance of injection mold steel, mirror polishing performance, heat treatment deformation and dimensional stability. Therefore, when the ACO mold selects the injection mold material, it is necessary to ensure the performance requirements of the plastic. Injection molds, improve their processing performance as much as possible. The main selection principles of injection mold materials are as follows:

You can’t be good in golf all the time. It’s all but impossible.
Harry Davis has every right to challenge that theory, but he’s special.
Remember, Davis would have been on the golf circuit had he not made the correct decision to remain home and steer his children to the proper way in life, including a daughter who is now a movie star.
Golf, like other things in life, is full of ands and ifs. Dick Ackerman, for instance, would have been a local star we all admired had he not suffered a serious illness. He’s fine now, and I’ve seen him slug the ball as far as anyone, but he doesn’t do it as often as he once did while living in Manchester, N.H.
Dan Tearpock is another. While playing with the Sludgehammers group, he can be amazingly good or amazingly not so good. Just like the rest of us, he’s right down the middle with blistering shots, but on another day, he can spend more time in the woods than a deer.
Jim Canfield, who was the first mayor of Palm Coast, is a lot better at swinging these confounded golf clubs than he is given credit for. He’s more steadfast with the swings than most of us and doesn’t always win for the day, but, by golly, he comes close.
One of the golfers with the smoothest swings here is George Rhatigan. But a health problem lowered the boom on him, and he had to call it a day and hang ’em up, as they say. I know he misses those trips to the tees, and we equally miss those gorgeous golf swings.
Hardly a day goes by when purchasing goodies for the stomach that I meet a popular golfer who tells me that he hasn’t played in months because of muscle tears or other health problems.
By the way, I’m a leading contender for the “Can’t be good in golf all the time,” but how about just some of the time?
Golf is a sport that makes one live with dreams. For example, I’ve always wanted to win a tournament with someone named Jill. The headline? Jock and Jill went up the hill. As Bubba might say, “I want to hit the incredible shot.”
So does Rick McArdle, Mike Joyce, Ty Capps, Willard Anderson, Kee Rhee, Rich Thompson, Dennis Willerth and every other golfer.
In the reality of every sport from soccer to golf, our past is not as important as our future. So, let’s just look ahead and move on.
One special note ...
David Crocombe, a dear friend of Grand Club Golf members and especially of the well-known Ed Namen, passed away at his home in Canada earlier this month. Crocombe was known as “Far North,” a nickname given to him by Ray Garnett many years ago.

- Loan providers can charge around 28 days desire for those who have less than one year leftover towards financing identity are accomplished.

The city Water Department spent several hours yesterday trying to repair a large water main break on Myrtle Avenue that caused flooding onto Main Street.
The break in a 12-inch line occurred about 11:15 a.m. and cut off water to residents in the Myrtle Street area as well as Ashby State, Arn How Farm, Pearl Hill and Apple Tree roads and Hannah Lane and Mount Vernon Street. It also dropped water pressure to homes, especially in the higher areas of the city, and caused water to many homes to run dirty.
Public Works Commissioner Lenny Laakso said the ruptured pipe was isolated about 1:30 p.m., and workers began restoring pressure throughout the city, except along Myrtle Avenue and in Moran Square, where water was shut off.
Mr. Laakso said some homes will experience dirty water for a day or two until it is flushed from the system.

On December 10th 2018, the Australian Parliament passed major changes to motor vehicle import laws that may result in more electric cars on our roads. Before you read the rest of this article, check out my previous article on the Australian car import process. 99% of it still applies – get yourself acquainted with the Specialist & Enthusiast Vehicle Scheme (SEVS) then come back here to know what the new changes to SEVS mean for electric cars!
You’re back? Cool, let’s see what’s new in the Road Vehicle Standard Bill 2018.
The main change for electric vehicle importing is that the criteria required for a car to be added to the SEVS is not as restrictive. To get an EV added to the SEVS list, it only has to meet three criteria:
- not be on sale in Australia
- has been on sale more than 3 months overseas
- and “offers environmental performance significantly superior to mainstream vehicles in Australia;”
If the car you want meets that criteria, then it can be added to the SEVS register and can be imported via a car importer and then made compliant with Australian regulations via a Registered Automotive Workshop (RAWs) – pretty much the same as it is now.
The government is also removing some of the red tape involved in operating a Registered Automotive Workshop, so expect to see more RAWs open up, particularly designed for EVs/low emissions vehicles as operating such a facility is less onerous.
The changes come into effect December 11th, 2019 due to a 1 year grace period for the motor industry to adapt. Unfortunately, this means there won’t be a nice batch of lightly used 2018 Nissan LEAFs coming into Australia any time soon, as Nissan will start selling the LEAF locally before these new laws come into effect.
However, cars that could hit the road in early 2020 thanks to these laws include:
- Nissan e-NV200
- Toyota Prius PHEV
- Volkswagen Golf GTE, e-Golf & e-Up
- Kia Soul EV
If you’ve been frustrated with the glacial pace of the Australian divisions of car manufacturers releasing EVs here that have been on sale elsewhere in the world for months, that will likely also change thanks to the amended import laws.
Take for example the Hyundai Ioniq – it initially went on sale in the UK back in late 2016/early 2017. Almost exactly 18 months later, Hyundai released it in Australia, presumably so nobody imports them from overseas, undercutting official dealerships. Under the new laws, imports of the Ioniq would have been allowed after 3 months of it going on sale overseas. If these new laws were in place when the Ioniq was first released, Hyundai would have likely launched the Ioniq in mid-2017 in Australia, instead of late 2018.
The Nissan LEAF and Renault Zoe would have been in the same situation – a speedy 3 month release window rather than the years we’re used to now. Going forward, these new laws will mean cars due for a late 2019-early 2020 release like the Kia Niro EV, Mini Electric and Volkswagen ID are likely to be sold in Australia at same time as the rest of the world, because the manufacturers will not want people importing their own and undercutting them.
While the new vehicle import laws are not as loose as New Zealand’s, it will eventually result in more EVs on the road in Australia – and that’s a good thing.
