Since September 11, 2001, the U.S. government has sought to remove weapons-useable highly enriched uranium (HEU) containing 20 percent or more uranium-235 from as many locations as possible because of concerns about the possibility of nuclear terrorism.
President Barack Obama worked to make this effort a global priority with biennial nuclear security summits between 2010 and 2016.
The primary focus of this HEU cleanout strategy has been on replacing HEU civilian research reactor fuel and uranium “targets” used in the production of medical radioisotopes with non-weapons-usable low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel and targets. Eliminating the use of HEU in naval fuel was not on the agenda. Yet, naval reactors account for more than half of global HEU use and most of the global stockpile of HEU for nonweapons use. As the phase-out of other uses continues, naval reactors will become increasingly dominant among nonweapon users of HEU unless actions are taken to convert them as well.

Markov Approximation for Combinatorial Network Optimization
Mingua Chen, Soung Chang Liew, Ziyu Shao, and Caihong Kai
Many important network design problems are fundamentally combinatorial optimization problems. A large number of such problems, however, cannot readily be tackled by distributed algorithms. The Markov approximation framework studied in this paper is a general technique for synthesizing distributed algorithms. We show that when using the log–sum–exp function to approximate the optimal value of any combinatorial problem, we end up with a solution that can be interpreted as the stationary probability distribution of a class of time-reversible Markov chains. Selected Markov chains among this class yield distributed algorithms that solve the log–sum–exp approximated combinatorial network optimization problem. By examining three applications, we illustrate that the Markov approximation technique not only provides fresh perspectives to existing distributed solutions, but also provides clues leading to the construction of new distributed algorithms in various domains with provable performance. We believe the Markov approximation techniques will find applications in many other network optimization problems.

Hawke's Bay is off to a warm start, but the chilly temperatures will return as the second month of winter settles in.
MetService meteorologist Andy Best said June was a relatively mild month for the region, but he expects July to be a lot colder.
"There is an improving weather trend for the first half of this week as the front departs to the east of the country late Sunday followed by a southerly outbreak on Monday as a ridge of high pressure over the Tasman Sea begins to build over the South Island," he said.
"Hawke's Bay is getting some cloudy periods today , northerlies strengthening, then they turn more northwesterly tomorrow. A few showers will come from the south during the course of the evening.
"Tomorrow Napier and Hastings will be sitting at about 17 degrees then it's going to be 5 degrees overnight.
The warmer temperatures are only temporary, as the region is set to cool right down as the week progresses.
"Southerlies will begin to ease in the course of Tuesday, and they will bring partly cloudy conditions, isolated showers around the coastal regions from late morning. [It will be] 12 degrees on Tuesday with an overnight low of 4.
"Wednesday will be partly cloudy and the southerlies are maintained. There's a high of 12 degrees and an overnight low of 3.
"Thursday is looking fine, a few showers around the Wairoa district, the southerlies will die out, but Hawke's Bay will still have all that cold air pulled over the region. So for Thursday night and Friday morning, temperatures will be sitting around 2 degrees, so there will be a few frosts."
Frosts were becoming a rarity in Hawke's Bay and Best said it was good to make the most of them.
"The frosts will be good for the vineyards, it will crisp up the grapes for the dessert wines.
"It's going to be warmer (14 degrees) on Friday, mainly fine weather with warm northwesterlies, an overnight low of 2.
"Later in the weekend, we can see a bit of a change and temperatures will get a little warmer."

Audi TT owners can save up to 15 per cent on their insurance premium after owning their vehicle for a year thanks to a new policy from specialist broker Adrian Flux.
The new scheme covers everything from the early turbo-charged 1.8 litre cars right up to the latest R5 TFSI and V6 quattros.
The UK’s largest specialist car insurance broker has more than 35 years experience of dealing with performance cars and is committed to helping drivers find the very best deals.
“The Audi TT is a special car and we share the love that owners have for them,” said Gerry Bucke, general manager at Flux and a former TT owner.
“We know that drivers of performance cars take special care of them, which is why we can offer such great insurance deals.
“We share drivers’ passion and enthusiasm for motoring and don’t want them to pay ridiculous amounts to insure their vehicles.”
Extra discounts are also available to members of owners’ clubs and those who agree a fixed mileage limit.
Find out more about Adrian Flux’s Audi TT insurance schemes, or call Flux free on 0800 369 8590.
Audi TT facts:
- The TT was first shown as a concept car at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show
- The car takes its name from the successful motor racing tradition of NSU in the British Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) motorcycle race
- The TT name has also been attributed to the phrase “Technology & Tradition”
BMW enthusiasts can slash their insurance premiums by up to 25 per cent thanks to a new scheme launched by specialist broker Adrian Flux.
The new scheme is designed to cover any model of BMW, from the 1 series to the M5, Z4 and everything in between, old and new.
Optional track day cover for club events can also be included to give owners the chance to legally test their car’s performance.
The biggest discounts apply to members of clubs including the BMW Car Club, BMW Club, BMW Drivers Club, or communities such as the E30 Zone, M3 Cutters and the Alpina Register.
Gerry Bucke, general manager at Adrian Flux, said club members typified the enthusiasm for their cars shared by the country’s largest specialist insurance broker.
“BMW drivers tend to take pride in and look after their cars, and club members obviously take that to the next level with a real passion for their motor,” he added.
“It’s only fair that that’s recognised in their insurance premium, and we’ve negotiated a scheme that gives a far bigger discount to club members than normal to reflect the type of driver we want to insure.
“Many of our staff are club members themselves, so we understand how people feel about their cars and wilk go the extra mile the get the best rates.”
Flux also has schemes for modified and classic BMWs, young drivers and limited mileage policies.

- Bob Marley once said that BMW stood for Bob Marley and the Wailers.
- It actually stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke (in English: Bavarian Motor Works)
- The BMW badge takes its colours from the Bavarian flag.
- BMW made motorcycles before car production began in 1928
- The first car was an Austin Seven built under licence
- BMW lost its Eisenach car plant to the Russian sector. Its Munich plant was heavily damaged (with all worthwhile machinery taken as war reparation).
- The company survived making pots and pans, spades and bicycles
- The 3-series was launched in 1975
They were the everyday runabouts and workhorses that littered Britain’s roads during the 70s and 80s.
From the plug-ugly Austin Allegro to the much-derided Skoda Estelle and the popular Vauxhall Viva, you couldn’t drive for more than a few miles without crossing their paths.
But time has not been kind to these cars, with many models on the brink of extinction.
Some might say that’s no bad thing but, despite their questionable styling and build quality, who wouldn’t like to see a few more Hillman Avengers roaming the streets to bring back memories of 70s motoring, when the roads were less congested and petrol cost 70p a gallon?
Here at Adrian Flux Insurance Services, we have a soft spot for these old motors, so we thought we’d flag up five of the most endangered species according to the How Many Left website, which uses Department of Transport data to show how many cars of a particular make and model are left on the UK’s roads. Of this famous five, only one of each remains…or does it? Do you know different?
Austin Allegro 1750SS
It would be unfair to call the Austin Allegro an ugly duckling. Unfair on the duckling, that is, which at least grew into a beautiful swan.
The Allegro was destined to remain the dumpy successor to the pretty, Issigonis-designed Austin 1100/1300 throughout its decade of production.
But though it has been voted the worst and ugliest car ever made, among other insults, and Jeremy Clarkson once famously destroyed one for a laugh, its appalling styling is what gives it its charm, like those somehow ugly-but-cute cats and dogs.
Dubbed the “Flying pig” and “All-aggro” because of its many problems, it was said to be more aerodynamic when driven backwards than forwards, and often came in questionable shades of mustard and beige.
The 1750SS was the sport model in production from 1973 to 1974, and sported a vinyl roof (why was that ever considered “sporty”?), as well as the idiosyncratic quartic (vaguely square) steering wheel.
Despite its problems, the Allegro was the fifth best selling car in the country in 1979, and a total of 642,350 Allegros were manufactured.
Of the SS, just one remains…
Hyundai Stellar 1600L
Ah, the Hyundai Stellar, beloved of taxi drivers everywhere and consequently run into the ground and sent to the scrapheap – though a solitary 1600L survives, somewhere…
This boxy saloon was built on the chassis of the mark V Ford Cortina, and was marketed to would-be Cortina buyers unhappy with the jelly-mould new Sierra.
It was designed by Giorgetto Giugaro, who must have had an off-day and saved his energy for the Saab 9000 and Fiat Uno.
The rear wheel drive Stellar was cheap and reliable with a big boot, and thus attracted the attention of those taxi drivers, who proceeded to rack up the miles and make this workhorse such a rarity today, despite production ending relatively recently in 1992.
But there is another reason it’s so seldom seen today – many Stellars ended up on the banger racing circuit. So if it wasn’t run into the ground around the nation’s cities, it probably ended up a mangled wreck.
Hillman Avenger 1300GT
The Avenger had something of an identity crisis in its 11-year production run, from 1970 to 1981, thanks to its parent company’s ever-changing ownership.
Starting life badged as a Hillman under the Rootes ownership, it became a Chrysler in 1976 before changing to Talbot when Peugeot took over the bankrupt Chrysler Europe.
In the US, it was the Plymouth Cricket, a Sunbeam in Europe and a Dodge in South Africa and South America.
So it’s fair to say that this car was something of a survivor in its heyday, but it’s seldom seen today.
One of the more interesting models was the 1300GT – interesting because not too many were made, it featured twin carburbettors, fantastic go-faster stripes and dustbin lid wheel trims.
So we’d love to know where the one surviving example of this rare beast resides.
Vauxhall Viva 1800L
The Viva name survived three models and 16 years between 1963 and 1979 before it was finally put out to grass at the expense of the Astra.
It was a spectacularly successful motor, selling more than 1.5million units for Vauxhall as the company took its first steps into the small car market since 1936 (though was the 2.3L SL really a small car?).
By the standards of the day, this was a good looking car with heavy American styling cues, particularly the sporty Firenza Coupe, brought out to compete with the Ford Capri.
The letterbox-style speedometer and pronounced bonnet and front bumper humps were nods to the cars American heritage.
The third generation of Viva, the HC, was the UK’s fastest-selling model of all time, and the millionth was driven off the production line by Tory MP John Eden in 1971.
Given the sheer number of these cars produced, we are slightly dubious that just a solitary 1800L survives. But if it does, we hope it’s being well looked after…
Skoda Estelle 105L
Remember the days when everyone knew a Skoda joke? Like how do you double the value of a Skoda? Fill the tank. And what do you call a Skoda with a sun roof? A skip.
The Estelle was the main reason for the jibes, despite consistent class wins in the RAC rallies of the 70s and 80s. Questionable quality control, head gasket and overheating problems were the main reasons for the negative image, but surely nearly 2million owners in the Czech Republic alone couldn’t be wrong…
The Estelle was not an attractive car, but boy was it cheap…leading to more than 120,000 sales in the UK between 1977 and 1990.
A rugged and generally reliable runabout, the Estelle gained a cult following among owners.
But they are becoming an increasingly rare sight on our roads today because their resale value was so low that scrappage and sale back to the Czech Republic became better options for many than the UK secondhand car market.
As a result, prices for good examples today are rising. The proud owner of the one remaining Estelle 105L may well be sitting on a tidy sum…
Something remarkable is happening at a small west Norfolk golf club, and we’re backing them all the way.
Middleton Hall Golf Club is on the brink of winning the largest team amateur golf tournament in the world, having reached the final of the Mail on Sunday Classic competition.
In the process they have seen off 3,000 of the country’s leading clubs to reach the last four, earning their shot at glory in the final at El Rompido, Spain, in November.
And we’re helping them out with a little sponsorship to make sure they look smart on the day.
The team qualified at the UK finals at Worsley Park, in Manchester, where they beat Shrigley Hall on the very last hole.
Middleton will meet Wentworth, who had European Tour star Ross Fisher in their team the last time they reached the finals back in 2000, Scottish champions Blairgowrie and Cranleigh in the November final. Read the full story.
Everyone knows you should never accept lifts from strangers. But no-one ever told us about Timothy and Judith.
Figures released by specialist insurance broker Adrian Flux show that, among its 300,000 policyholders, these two names are the most likely male and female to claim on their car insurance.
In the past five years, 20.7 per cent of Timothys have made a claim, just ahead of Antonio, Julian and Bernard, while Judiths lead the way for the ladies with 30.7 per cent claiming, ahead of Joanna and Clare.
The least likely to claim are those called Megan (15.3 per cent) for the women and Jordan (4.8 per cent) for the men.
Gerry Bucke, general manager at Flux, said it was unlikely that names were directly linked to how often people claimed, and that Timothy and Judith had probably just been unlucky.
“There is nothing to suggest that people called Timothy or Judith are reckless drivers, but they’re probably not the names I’d have expected to see at the top of the list!” he added.
“We rate insurance premiums based on a number of factors, such as where people live, what they drive and their fault claims history, but we’re not quite ready to start charging people more, or less, depending on their name.”
The moral of the story? Always accept lifts from Megan and Jordan. Unless they’re strangers, of course…
|Top 10 male claimers||Top 10 female claimers|

I kept on looking for more wordless books and came up with this list. These are by no means all of them. Please share if you know others.
Some of these books come with sequels like the Carl's Jack's and Daisy's series. Others are all from the same author, like Barbara Lehman or David Weisner.
These are books worth a phone call and a trip to the library. Some are better if you buy them because they are great for other areas, but you need to be the judge of that. I try them a the library when I can and then buy when I find them necessary. Also let me tell you, if you don't already know, that just because it is a picture book, it does not mean it is a good book for little ones. I found some of Weisner's and Lehman's books to be not a good fit for my personal taste as they are confusing, and with ideas that can actually scare my three year old! So be cautious!
I found this gem of a wordless book at our local library: Flood by Alvaro F. Villa. It has beautiful images and a story that will touch your heart.

"Ditch Day" at Cal Tech is the day seniors must leave campus and underclassmen, known as "wimps," try to break into their room. Wimps broke into a senior's room and were dissatisfied with the food and liquor that he had left for them. So they disassembled his Porsche and reassembled it in his room.
Another senior returned to find his entire floor covered with a weather balloon filled with water and with no drain valve.
Protection is done by placing a "stack" on the door; the ultimate brute-force stack was by a senior who ran a framework of four-by-four timbers the length of the room bracing the door and windows. He latched the door shut with a vertical post of steel and wood secured by electromagnetically driven pins. The window was covered by a sandwich of plywood steel armor plate, fiberglass insulation and expensive university-owned cabinet doors, which, if they were destroyed, the wimps would have to pay for. If the wimps penetrated the wood and armor plate, glass insulation would foul any drills or saw blades. The wimps got in by drilling through the four-inch concrete ceiling in back of the light fixtures. They artfully scented the room with 10 bags of steer manure.

An argument started. It was, stereotypically, between two Italian men and, stereotypically, involved a lot of hand waving.
We were on a city bus in Rome, having walked away the day between all the sights one sees in the Eternal City. It was summer, which means in Rome it was sweltering. The crowded, hectic city was abuzz and we soaked it all in. Gelato here. Gelato there. Maybe a few historical sights in between gelato...par for the Roman course. By mid-afternoon we were drenched in sweat from our explorations and so we decided to catch a bus across the city and back to our tiny hotel and its grumpy manager.
Somewhere along the way a group of men got on the bus, though their friend was left at the stop. The straggler ran beside the bus, shouting and banging on the door. His friends on the bus started yelling at the driver to stop and wait, but the man would take no heed. I'm sure drivers get yelled at all the time so he was in no mood to stop for every single person who missed the bus. And so, the argument continued for several blocks while we passengers did our best to mind our own business, though everyone was watching and listening as the conversation grew heated, even for Italian standards.
Eventually, the driver stopped the vehicle. He had caught sight of some police officers – a lot of them, in fact – and decided to park the bus and alert them to the heated situation. He yelled out the window to the police officers as we stopped on a rather steep hill, holding up the traffic behind us. The driver then shoved passed his angry nemeses and marched off the bus toward the police. Unfortunately, he didn't set the parking brake. We started to roll.
We quickly picked up speed and rolled down the street. I wasn't too worried because there were plenty of cars behind us to impede our descent down the hilltop, though I did keep an eye out of the back window as everyone started to shout and scream. A woman on a scooter dodged the bus as it steamrolled her direction, and another rider followed her lead. He was mere inches away from having his legs crushed by the bus but managed to escape with just a gash as we slammed into the car behind us. And it into the cars behind, and so on. Fortunately for us, there were already over a dozen officers in the area and no one was seriously hurt.
We hopped off the bus in one piece. So much for public transportation in Rome.

One of Scotland’s councils has just implemented a boycott of Israel after comparing the country to apartheid South Africa.
Scotland was one of the first places where Muslims built their mosques.
The Clackmannanshire Council declared it would resist all economic and political support for Israel in order to “end suffering in Palestine”. In Scotland, once known as the only European country which has no history of state persecution of Jews, a region is officially dedicated to the eradication of the Jewish State as a malevolent, “settler” and foreign entity.
Last year the Scottish University of Dundee banned water from Eden Springs on the campus, because – it claimed – “it steals water from the Salukia spring in the occupied Syrian Golan, where it is bottled in the illegal Israeli settlement of Katzrin”.
Islamists are PAYING big buck to those who favor anti-Israel sentiments.
Another Scottish provincial council near Glasgow, West Dunbartonshire, in 2011 prohibited the purchase of English translations of Israeli books and the distribution of these books in public libraries throughout the council’s jurisdiction.
Like their Marxist friends , Islamist favor young minds and use DIS-information (like the propaganda lies of the Nazis) on a regular base.
One’s memory went back to the German spring of 1933, when students, professors and librarians worked on a list of “degenerate” Jewish books. The list included Stefan Zweig, Erich Maria Remarque, Thomas Mann and Heinrich Heine. In the largest event outside Berlin, 18,000 Jewish books were destroyed.
It is two years since the Dunbartonshire Council prohibition made the headlines. What is the current status of Israeli books in the Scottish libraries?
The Dunbartonshire decision marks the first time that a region in Europe has been cleansed of the presence of Israeli books. It does not matter what ideas are contained in these books, it is the bare fact of their origin which is enough for them to be banned. It seems that the shocking announcement worked.
Pass it on.

John Carpenter to the critics who’ve been wetting themselves over Get Out since it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on 1.24.17: “I’ve been quiet over the last eight months because Jordan Peele‘s a sharp, savvy actor, comedian and filmmaker, and he deserves his day in the sun. But Get Out was a tribute to me, okay? To the kind of mid-budget socially reflective genre satire that I used to make. I’m the godfather, I own the patent, and now that Oscar season has begun I want a little acknowledgment of this. Okay, Larry Cohen might have been another inspiration, along with, I suppose, The Stepford Wives. But have any of you pricks even mentioned my influence in your reviews?

A civil engineering company in the North East has been fined after an oil rig collapse caused a worker to fall 15 meters and sustain life-threatening injuries
Teesside Magistrates’ Court heard how on July 31, 2019, the worker was involved in the dismantling of the Brent Bravo, a former North Sea oil and gas platform, when the rig collapsed and that the worker fell 15 meters.
Brent oil and gas field in the North Sea
The company in question, Able UK Limited, had been contracted to dismantle four platforms in the Brent oil and gas field in the North Sea. It was during the removal of a module located at the northwest corner of the Brent Bravo platform that the platform collapsed under the worker’s feet.
At the planning stage, it had been noted that there were three platforms on the basement deck of the structure which would need to be moved to allow the module to fall down safely. However, it was not recognized that one of the platforms was not part of the main structure and was attached to the platform using bolts which had corroded over time.
The corroded bolts affected the structural integrity of the platform and the methodology required to remove it safely. This oversight caused the platform to collapse during the cutting of the bracing beams, causing one of the employees to fall 15 meters.
HSE: non-performance of a structural assessment
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigated the incident and reported that Able UK Limited failed to carry out a full structural assessment of the platform prior to demolition. Had they performed these checks, a more informed risk assessment and method statement would have been obtained and the work would have been performed safely. The company was condemned after the worker fell 15 meters.
Able UK Limited of Able House, Billingham Reach Industrial East, Haverton Hill Road, Cleveland, pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 2(1) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 1974. Teesside Magistrates’ Court.
HSE: the stability of structures must be taken into account before demolition
Following the hearing, HSE Inspector Richard Littlefair said:
“When undertaking demolition work where structures are left in a pre-weakened state, it is essential that those controlling the work take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of everyone involved in the work.
“This includes ensuring that the stability of structures is considered before and during demolition work, as well as ensuring that controls are in place to mitigate other associated health and safety risks. , such as work at height.”


Coco Cobra and The Killers 2003 Classic!
The “I NEED SEX” Sessions
Tons of photos, 12 songs in 16 minutes!
“Love is rabid steam-heat pumping, head-banging energy. Coco Cobra & the Killers has nothing but love. Straight from the heart. Straight from the hip. They sound like the Ramones a la 2006 with a pure, candid female lead. The only weakness I can hear in the music is strictly technical. The vocals are a bit overdriven on a few tracks. The lead, Viva Las Vegas blows past that flaw with machisma, a bravura honesty rarely seen in these studio-perfekt, politically correct days. Guitar, bass, keys, and drums rock! Raw lead vocal energy is the strength of Coco Cobra & the Killers’ sound. This is the vein opened by Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry. It’s like Joan Jett distilled to a concentrated Bad Reputation. Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch Cherry Bomb sans versification. Viva’s work has that kind of an explosive volcanic heart–she sings what she means and means what she sings. Coco Cobra & the Killers trumps all sentimental TV promo pablum-puke-pop. It works because it’s pure. Rock and Roll needs leading women with the guts to deliver their power like the way Viva does leading Coco Cobra and the Killers.
It only gets better. An unreleased second album is available for download Viva Las Vegas’ website” (www.music-hills.com).

The proton mass can be calculated from lattice QCD to 1% accuracy; see Physical Nucleon Properties from Lattice QCD. A survey paper by Fodor and Hoelbling, Light Hadron Masses from Lattice QCD, discusses the state of the art of hadron mass prediction from lattice QCD. (also to 1% accuracy). For the meson spectrum, see Toward the excited isoscalar meson spectrum from lattice QCD. Extrapolation to physical parameter values, a lot of attention to detail, and a lot of computer time are needed to make this work.
Nonlattice techniques for mass prediction of mesons and hadrons include the Schwinger-Dyson equations; see, e.g., Masses of ground and excited-state hadrons.

- a Heroclix table, with my own "Iceberg Lounge" map on it;
- our famous sale table, where fortunes have been won and lost;
- and our beloved Civilian Bench, where the comic book pilgrims deposit their significant others while they pay their respects at the Big Monkey. It's the Wailing Wall of comic books, and if you look closely you can see a girlfriend lying on it unconscious, overwhelmed by the rarefied atmosphere of high-level comic book discussion at Big Monkey.
The Heavy Objects (in red) include:
- Bookcases, spilling over with quality trades and hardcovers;
- A file cabinet, container of sub files; "the perfect container, the container of all our hopes for the future";
- The picnic table (it goes outside on the rooftop deck behind the store);
- and the safe, where fortunes are stored and hopefully not lost.
The Special Objects (in blue) include the Absolute Edition and the Rare Issue. Either may be picked up by any figure in the game.
The Absolute Edition grants whoever carries it Deflection, because it's thick enough to deflect mere bullets and blasts of ill-defined energy. If an attack against the holder of the Absolute Edition succeeds, the Absolute Edition absorbs one click of the damage and is removed from play.
The Rare Issue grants whoever carries it immunity from long-range attacks, because no comic book character would risk harming a rare issue. If a close combat attack against the holder of the Rare Issue succeeds, the attacker takes the Rare Issue as his own. The Rare Issue cannot be destroyed; it's been bagged and boarded, you see.
The Big Monkey Bystanders (in brown) include:
- The Customer, as portrayed by the charming Lauren Martella, head of the Big Monkey Women's Discussion Group;
- The Player, as portrayed by the avuncular Tom Price, Wizkids Envoy and host of the on-going Big Monkey Heroclix tournament series;
- The Staff, as portrayed by the angelic James Rambo, host of our fortnightly Crime Alley Cinema night.
It'll be a while before I get them back from the printer, but when I do, maybe I can mail you one (for a modest PayPal fee to cover expenses).
Be sure to let us know when you get 'em and when to Paypal, because I definitely want one.
For you, Seth? After all you've done for us all?
Yours is free, Seth; just give me your mailing address (send it to email@example.com), and tell me how many you want.
Of course, if you wanted to send me a certain secret formula out of gratitude, I wouldn't turn it down, LOL!
Hoping fervently that you've landed on your feet, by the way, after what the Confederate widows used to call 'the late unpleasantness'.
This is cool. I have never gotten into HeroClix...I'm a HeroClix virgin. But it's interesting that you can basically play with any map that you make. Maybe one day I will have to learn.
I am, at this very moment, assembling the most awesome blog-themed Heroclix team the world has ever seen. Then I'll finally learn to play the darn game. So I'll probably be wanting one of those...
Now THAT is interesting...
Oh yeah. It should be interesting (even if it isn't any good in an actual fight), especially when I finish that custom figure I'm working on...
Still, I could use your advice as an experienced player. What's the standard point total for a heroclix team? I'm sure it's been mentioned, but I can't seem to recall. Something around 300-400 points, right?
Nowadays, 400 points.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics CEO Chang Duck-hyun speaks at a press briefing at CES 2024 in Las Vegas on Wednesday. (Samsung Electro-Mechanics)
LAS VEGAS -- Samsung Electro-Mechanics CEO Chang Duck-hyun unveiled the company's new vision centering on four key technology developments -- the mobility industry, robots, artificial intelligence and servers, as well as energy -- to respond to the development of future industries in advance.
"The electronics industry is expected to quickly enter an era where humanoids incorporating AI are applied to daily life and industry beyond mobile and mobility platforms," Chang said at a press conference Wednesday on the sidelines of CES 2024, which kicked off a day prior in Las Vegas.
"Parts and materials are required as bases when realizing the future technologies and it will be a new growth opportunity for Samsung Electro-Mechanics, which possesses core technologies in these fields," he added.
The electronic parts manufacturing affiliate of Samsung Electronics has been working on a project, dubbed "Mirae," which combines the four future industry sectors' first letters.
Some of its accomplishments include capacitors, glass substrates, hybrid lenses for full-length cameras, small all-solid-state batteries and solid oxide electrolytic cells, the CEO said.
The electronic parts manufacturer has set a series of goals to complete by next year as well.
In line with the fast-evolving AI market, it has set the goal of producing prototypes of glass substrates, a high-end product for high-performance semiconductors, by the following year.
After completing its goal of mass-producing silicon capacitors, an essential product for high-performance computing, the company looks to expand its lineup to servers, networks and automobiles.
It also pins hope on mass-producing hybrid lenses, a game-changer in the automotive camera market, to respond to the mobility industry's development.
Looking into entering the wearable market by 2026, it is moving a step closer to developing solid-state batteries, called "dream batteries," by replacing liquid electrolytes with solid ones.
For solid oxide electrolyzer cell technology to deliver high-efficiency, low-cost green hydrogen, Samsung looks to develop a prototype by 2025 and start mass production in 2027.
While the company considers humanoids to be the next-generation platform, new technologies utilizing optical design, precision processing and drive control technologies are also progressing.
Chang highlighted that securing core technology is the key to determining a company's survival in the coming digital future.
"Samsung Electro-Mechanics will use the coming future as a new growth opportunity and solidify our business structure to not be shaken by any recession," he said.

JUDAH (known also as Thesoureiro Mor Judah):
Treasurer to Ferdinand, King of Portugal; appointed in 1378. After the king's death he became the favorite of his queen, Leonora de Meneyes, whom he accompanied as a page when she was obliged to flee from the infuriated populace of Lisbon. The deposed queen requested her son-in-law John I. of Castile, who had made war upon Portugal, to bestow the chief rabbinate of Castile (not of Portugal, as Grätz says) upon Judah; John, however, at the instance of his young wife, Beatrice, gave the office to Judah's rival, David Negro-Yaḥya. Thereupon the crafty Leonora hired a count to kill her daughter's husband, then besieging Coimbra. But the plot failed; the king was informed of it by David Negro, of his suite, who had been warned by a Franciscan monk. Leonora, Judah, and a maid who was in the conspiracy were immediately arrested. Brought before the king, Judah disclosed everything in presence of Queen Beatrice, David Negro, and a notary, and repeated his confession before Leonora. The last-named was banished to Tordesillas; Judah, whose wife was the sister of a wealthy man by the name of David Alguadez, a relative of Meïr Alguadez, was condemned to death, but was pardoned at the intercession of David Negro. He fled to Castile, accompanied by Judah and Moses Nahum, his tax-collectors. His treasures were given by John I. of Portugal to Gonçalo Rodriguez de Abreu, and his houses and other possessions to the widow of the brave king Pereira.

It's 20 years since a horrific tsunami which struck part of the Papua New Guinea coast of West Sepik province, killing about 2,200 people.
The tsunami, with waves estimated as high as 14 metres washed across Sissano Lagoon, where most of the deaths occurred.
The waves affected just 30 kilometres of the coast line and this fact became a focal point for tusnami experts.
It was originally thought to have been caused by a two metre drop in the Pacific Plate after an earthquake but now it is believed it was due to a massive underwater landslide.
Jose Borrero, from E-Coast Marine Consulting in Raglan is one of New Zealand's best known authorities on tsunamis and he explained to Don Wiseman what happened.

I ARRIVE at the day centre for destitute asylum-seekers run by the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) UK at 11.30 on a weekday morning. People are already tucking into a hot meal. Others are drinking tea and reading papers.
It sounds foolish to say it, but they don’t look destitute, whatever I imagined that to look like. It makes me wonder how many others I pass every day, unaware of their precarious existence.
I am here to see some of what JRS do, and to meet Sarah Teather, formerly a Liberal Democrat MP and a Minister for Children and Families in the Coalition Government, who took on a short-term contact with JRS International immediately after leaving Parliament. In January 2016, she became director of JRS UK.
Ms Teather entered Parliament to cheers: at 29, she was Britain’s youngest MP, and had won the 2003 Brent East by-election, overturning Labour’s 13,047 majority. Ten years later, she announced her decision to leave politics at the next election.
In July 2013, two months before that announcement, she broke ranks with the Government by revealing in an interview with The Guardian that an internal working group on immigration had existed, the “Hostile Environment Working Group”.
The group was renamed the “Inter Ministerial Group on Migrants’ Access to Benefits and Public Services”, after Lib Dem objections, but her revelation underlined the direction of travel in which the Home Secretary at that time, Theresa May, intended to take the UK.
THE “hostile-environment agenda”, as it has become known, embedded in the 2014 and 2016 Immigration Acts, put into law a culture of distrust and suspicion of migrants, and turned ordinary citizens into frontline immigration officials by requiring landlords, NHS staff, employers, and banking and DVLA staff to check the immigration status of migrants who sought access to housing, health care, employment, bank accounts, and driving licences.
It is this policy that was directly behind the traumas that the Windrush generation were subjected to (Comment, 13 April, News, 20 April). Despite the row that blew up in April, forcing the resignation of Mrs May’s successor at the Home Office, Amber Rudd, the policy is damaging the people whom JRS UK are serving.
In particular, the 2016 Act introduced fines, and the threat of a five-year prison term, for landlords who breach legislation that restricts the rental of property to people who do not have documentary proof of their right to remain in the UK.
“If you’re destitute, you’re probably not going to be renting property anyway,” Ms Teather says. “But you might well be staying with friends, and that creates a whole murky question of whether it’s OK for you to stay with friends in rented property, and a real climate of fear.
“You are [also] liable to be detained; so people live in incredible difficulty. What happened to those who came in the Windrush era is what is happening to the people that JRS serves — that is the reality of their life.”
The Government still employs the knock on the door in the night. “Yes, people are hauled out late at night or early in the morning. They may be kept in detention, and then they may well be released. But it’s not like you’re released from detention and go back to normal: you just can’t process it, and it may happen again. They don’t know whether or not it’s going to happen the next day, and they’re living in destitution.”
picture-u.net/JRS UKSarah Teather giving her key note speech at the Faith Matters talk series in 2017, in which she emphasised the importance of welcoming the stranger
SARAH TEATHER grew up in a small village in Leicestershire, one of three children. Her mother was an Anglican, and one of Ms Teather’s earliest memories is standing on a choir pew next to her.
“Faith is an animating feature of my mum’s life, and always has been hugely important to her. So faith was kind of knocking around in the background of our lives — as was, similarly, an attitude towards service and community involvement.”
Ms Teather was received into the Roman Catholic Church at Cambridge, where she read science. “I knew instantly, the first time I went to a Catholic mass, that that was where I wanted to be, and I’ve never changed my view. It was about sacramental presence; it was about the eucharist; and I knew that if I was to journey towards God, I needed to take that step. It was really clear; it was really obvious to me at that moment.”
She did “all sorts of things” after university, but it was while she was working in the policy unit at the Royal Society that she became more politically active.
Besides becoming “really active” in the RC Church, Ms Teather became involved with the East London Citizens Organisation (TELCO) and the Lib Dems — particularly with the London Mayoral campaign at the time. “It comes out of my mum’s worldview, because there was always this expectation that you do something where you live.”
Her mother, the Revd Jenny Hill, was ordained priest in the Church of England after Ms Teather left university. “She is probably my most important influence.”
During her time in Parliament, Sarah Teather served as business spokesperson and housing spokesperson. From the formation of the Coalition Government, in May 2010, until the 2012 reshuffle, she was Minister for Children and Families.
During the 2013 Parliament summer recess, Ms Teather went on a 30-day Ignatian retreat, during which she made her decision to leave Parliament.
After her announcement, she spoke of her struggles with her party’s acquiescence in the benefit cap; and its stance on bail-like payments for certain immigrants. The language involved seemed to imply criminality.
Ingrid Guyon/2017/fotosynthesis/JRS UKA JRS UK volunteer welcomes a refugee friend at the day centre
THOSE alongside whom JRS UK works “have found themselves made destitute, or detained, by the asylum process”, Ms Teather says. “They have no access to any form of funding, including asylum benefits called Section 95 support. They may be preparing a fresh claim, [may have] exhausted their appeal rights, or are trying to regularise their immigration status through other avenues of law.”
She cannot bear the language of “illegals”, she says, which the Government and tabloids use to harden public opinion and which, again, implies criminality. In particular, those deemed “illegal” by the system are often victims of a process that, in April, the Law Society warned was so flawed that it was undermining the rule of law. “People find it very, very difficult to get a fair hearing,” Ms Teather says.
People whose applications for asylum are based on being a convert, or on their sexuality, face an even higher possibility of injustice. “People are asked the most absurd questions. [And for] people whose cases are based on coming from a particular denomination that’s persecuted in their own country — the Home Office process is not nuanced enough to take any of that into account.
“It faces everybody off with this hermeneutic of suspicion. . . So, if the nature of your case is particularly difficult, or private, or controversial, or little known, the chances of getting your case heard fairly [become] less and less. Many people will get their objection overturned on appeal, which demonstrates how poor the decision making really is.”
Almost half of UK immigration and asylum appeals are upheld: “clear evidence of serious flaws in the way visa and asylum applications are being dealt with”, the Law Society president, Joe Egan, said.
He also drew attention to many cases in which adults and even children were forced to wait years for a decision, “And, while they wait, their life is on hold: they cannot plan, may not be allowed to work, travel, or access a wide range of state support.”
The prohibitive cost of appeals, and loss of appeal rights for other claimants, causes him further concern.
“These grave problems in our immigration and asylum system undermine the rule of law, while also damaging our country’s reputation for justice and fairness. We need an immigration and asylum process that is fit for purpose, and that makes lawful, timely, consistent decisions.”
“UNFIT for purpose” was how, in 2006, the then Home Secretary, John Reid, was reported to have declared the immigration section of the Home Office (a statement that he later attributed to a senior civil servant). Does Ms Teather consider it so?
“There are self-evidently problems being exposed continuously, particularly on the asylum decision-making. But the point is, this is politically led, and ministers have to take responsibility for that. . .
“If you drive through a policy of ‘Reduce the numbers at all cost,’ then the people who work for you have got to try and implement it. And there are a limited number of ways in which you can implement it with humanity. So, the politicians have to take responsibility. It’s no good blaming the civil servants who work for you. If you’re elected, it’s your job. Stand up and take it.”
Ultimately, responsibility for that policy now lies firmly with Mrs May. “To be fair to her . . . it didn’t come out of nowhere. The agenda of hostility rather than hospitality is an old one in government policy-making. Detention massively went up under the Labour Government, and especially the detention of children. . .
“But this systematic focus of employing lots of different areas of civic life in immigration enforcement — that’s Theresa May; that’s the hostile environment agenda. That’s very different, and I think it has a damaging effect on British ethos, on national identity: it damages relationships and damages community, trying to engage everybody in the same activity, of [the] hermeneutic of suspicion. That’s not a recipe for community, is it?
“It’s not even [about] money, because it doesn’t save money: detention doesn’t save money. . . Barring access to the health service and charging people up front — well, what are you going to do if the people that you’re charging are destitute? It’s meaningless. It’s effective only if it’s viewed as a tool of immigration enforcement, and that’s the point: all sorts of other areas of civic life, of governance, have become co-opted into immigration enforcement.”
Megan Knowles/JRS UKThe volunteers of JRS UK’s detention befrienders after a training day
JRS WAS founded in Italy, in 1980, in response to the plight of the Vietnamese boat people. What JRS UK is seeing on the ground, as a result of the hostile environment, is that “homelessness is getting worse”, Ms Teather says. “Our numbers are going up, but we don’t heavily advertise, either; so we know we’re only seeing the tip of the iceberg.”
There have been other rule-changes. “The Home Office has stopped the courts from attaching an address to bail applications; so they can just be released into destitute homelessness. That’s new.
“If you’ve been destitute, and you’ve been detained . . . the impact on you is immense, and then you’re released just on to the streets: no address, no support, and you’ve got all of that trauma.”
In January this year, JRS UK released a report, Out in the Cold, based on destitute asylum-seekers’ experiences of homelessness in London. One of its findings was that 62 per cent of the day-centre users surveyed for the report had experienced street homelessness in the previous year; and 36 per cent of those staying with others did not feel physically safe in their accommodation.
“We’re leaving them open to abuse, either because they’re on the streets or because they’re living with people whom they don’t feel safe to be living with. And these are young women; old men; pregnant women; people with serious illnesses; people who have had traumatic histories. The process of the hostile environment is designed to be deliberately crushing of people’s lives. It should be a matter of shame that we do this to people.”
LAST week, the new Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, said that he would review the Home Office’s “hostile environment” policy towards immigrants in the wake of the Windrush scandal. He that said he wanted to replace it, however, with a “compliant environment” that distinguished between illegal and legal immigrants.
Ms Teather says that the immigration system needs root-and-branch reform.
“While an embarrassed retreat from front-footed evangelism in favour of hostility is a step forward from the Government, we need more than just a rebrand of cruelty. Subjecting those without immigration status to an inhumane web of pressures designed to make their lives crushingly difficult is wrong, regardless of what you call it.”
Before she left Parliament, Ms Teather chaired the joint All-Party Parliamentary Group’s inquiry into the immigration detention system, whose report recommended, among others, an end to indefinite detention — which is unique to the UK among EU countries. The campaigning work on the detention of immigrants continues. In February, Ms Teather was among other religious signatories to sign up to a new campaign, launched by Liberty, pushing for a 28-day limit (News, Comment, 16 February).
She believes that church leaders have an important part to play in speaking out. What’s missing in the debate, she says, is a Christian anthropology. “The hostile environment doesn’t even take into account a utilitarian perspective. The hostile-environment agenda is a ruthless focus on statistics, where all other values and priorities of what might make a good society have been reprioritised against this one focus of reducing numbers. . . It’s important to hear Christian voices, who have a wider view on what a human being is for, and what human flourishing really looks like.”
And she suggests that individuals can do much: contact MPs, support local migrant organisations, become befrienders, join hosting schemes, support people in congregations whose immigration status is precarious, and “gently challenge” negative views about asylum-seekers.
Her hope is that the Windrush scandal will shine a light on the issues of a hostile environment, and “begins to it open up to some disinfectant. . . As public scrutiny rises and people . . . get a sense of what immigration enforcement is like in practice, that will open up an opportunity to rethink the direction of travel.”

Ingrid Guyon/2017/fotosynthesis/JRS UKA man collects some toiletries at the JRS day centre
THE mission of the Jesuit Refugee Service centres on accompaniment. At the day centre, for which people must register with JRS to gain access, people are known by name, and can come not only for sandwiches, a hot meal, or a cup of tea, but also to pick up toiletries, a weekly travel allowance of £10, and, sometimes, as on the day I visit, a food bag.
It provides a place of safety, too, where people can pop in, or stay all day, relax and sit quietly, or chat to friends. It is also where they can get help and advice from JRS staff, and find out about a range of activities. (JRS has a refugee choir which is run with the Soul Sanctuary gospel choir; there have been drama projects and photography workshops.)
Staff and volunteers try to stay in touch if someone is taken into detention, although “there’s a limit if somebody is detained a long way away from here.” They will refer people on to other befriending groups, “but we try to make sure we stay in touch with them, especially if they go to Heathrow.”
JRS UK runs the befriending service for detainees in Heathrow’s immigration removal centres (Colnbrook and Harmondsworth), which together house about 1000 men.
JRS UK also runs a small hosting programme, which facilitates three-month stays, for some of their day-centre users, with members of religious communities and some host families.

A team of researchers from the University of San Diego has announced that it was successful in creating a self-healing ink that can patch up a tear as wide as three millimeters.
The technology of self-healing ink will have many applications, and it would be very useful in crafting self-healing batteries or even sensors for wearable devices such as smartwatches.
Formed by microscopic magnetic particles, this self-healing ink can be further refineded and crafted into conductive materials such as silver, gold, and even graphite. Researchers have speculated that materials fashioned in this manner can be integrated into electronic devices and even clothing.
In order to produce this state-of-the-art technology, the team of scientists started out by experimenting with the magnetic properties of neodymium particles. As the team explains, this type of metal is quite cheap, widespread, and it exhibits particularly strong magnetic properties.
In fact, the neodymium magnetic attraction properties extend to a couple of millimeters. The next step of creating the self-healing ink was to enhance the electrochemical properties of this particular metal. According to the team, although neodymium has extraordinary magnetic capabilities, it does not respond well when interacting with electrochemical elements.
To overcome this limitation, the team laced the neodymium microscopic magnetic particles with carbon black. This ensured that the resulting ink retains its self-repair properties. The final step in creating the self-healing ink was to overcome the particle’s natural tendency of canceling each other out.
The solution to this problem was to actually print the ink alongside an outside magnetic field. This would ensure that the particles are properly aligned and that they would attract each other in the correct way if they were separated.
And now comes the interesting part: testing out to see if the device is as good in practice as it is in theory. The scientists mounted a battery and a LED on the sleeve of a shirt. The circuit connecting the two was crafted using the self-healing ink.
When the scientists cut the link between the LED and battery, the LED naturally turned off. However, due to the ink’s uncanny self-repairing properties, the LED turned back on only after 50 milliseconds. The gap between the two ends of the wire was three millimeters.
In addition to its quick healing properties, the ink can repair the circuit for any number of times.
Presently, the scientists have yet to figure out a way to prevent the ink’s own magnetic field from interfering with other electronic devices. However, the technology is promising, and we could very well be looking at a new manner of fashioning batteries and sensors.
Check out this YouTube clip to see the self-healing ink in action.

Patients spend a long time in hospital following a spinal cord injury, around five months on average in Scotland. This can be a very difficult time for patients and their family and friends.
Designed by acclaimed garden designer and RHS judge, James Alexander-Sinclair, Scotland’s Horatio’s Garden has transformed the view for patients from the wards and communal rooms to something which is life-affirming to look out on to. The planting encourages birds, butterflies and bees, adding a dimension of interest for patients who can be on bed rest for weeks.
There is a therapy garden with a greenhouse, donated by Hartley Botanic, for patients to grow vegetables and plants and a play area for patients’ children to go to during long visits.
A stunning courtyard garden has become the heart of the spinal unit giving an oasis of calm in the clinical environment. This is an uplifting space, brimming with colour and life. There are sheltered areas so patients and their visitors can use the garden during bad weather.
There has been much evidence that gardens and gardening have a positive effect on a person’s physical, mental and emotional well being. Having an inspiring outdoor haven is particularly crucial for people impacted by spinal injuries.
“Horatio’s Garden has made a huge difference to my stay in the Spinal Unit. It has been a place to take my visitors and show them the plants in the woodland garden. I have watched this beautiful garden being created. I will be going home with wonderful memories of this garden and the people who work in it.”
Jenny, a patient in 2016

A good understanding of neutrino-nucleus scattering mechanisms is essential to reduce the systematic errors in neutrino oscillation experiments. Recent interest of the Ghent group focus on providing a consistent description of this process in the intermediate energy region. We describe the low energy response with collective nuclear excitations and the quasielastic peak using a Hartree-Fock-CRPA (continuum random phase approximation) model that takes into account nuclear long-range correlations as well as hadronic final-state interactions. The two-body current mechanisms, which are especially important in the region between the quasielastic and the delta-resonance peak, are included through short-range correlations and meson-exchange currents, treated within the same mean-field based model. Our description of intermediate-energy neutrino-nucleus scattering is completed by modeling neutrino-induced pion production. For that, we consider the dominant contribution from the decay of the delta resonance as well as other terms required by chiral symmetry, working in a fully relativistic formalism with a refined treatment of nuclear effects.

If you are like most brides, your wedding day may be the first occasion on which you have a professional photoshoot! So, don’t be surprised if you are nervous about the whole experience. Fortunately, a little planning and preparation can help you be your photogenic best and have wedding photos that look amazing.
I’ve come up with some tips to get you started on your adventure!
Book an engagement photoshoot
This is huge and I can’t recommend it highly enough! For a couple of reasons…
- You find out what to expect at your wedding photoshoot and it provides you the opportunity to become familiar with your wedding photographer’s style of working. Once you strike a rapport with your photographer (and I promise you will!) you can then relax about your Wedding Day. You will spend as much time with your photographer on your wedding day as anyone else, getting to know them prior to the day makes a massive difference.
- You will be delighted with the photos! Without exception, all my newly engaged couples can’t believe how great they look in their images and of course this alleviates a LOT of the anxiety that comes with the first-time-photo-shoot self doubt.
Have your smile dazzle
A dazzling smile is a wonderful accessory for any bride. Get a wedding-worthy smile by putting in a little effort before your wedding day. Brighten your teeth with whitening toothpaste, or have a dentist polish your teeth till they sparkle. The lipstick colour you wear will also affect the brightness of your smile. Colours with a blue overtone make teeth appear brighter. Unless your teeth are pure white, stay away from red and brown hues that give teeth a yellow appearance.
Choose your makeup carefully
Certain cosmetics do not look good in pictures. So, be careful when you choose your wedding day makeup. I certainly suggest that you have a trial makeup session, and see how your choice of makeup translates in pictures. Snap photos of your bridal look in different lights. This will allow you to make necessary changes if you aren’t happy with the results you see. On your wedding day, use slightly more makeup than you usually do. However, try to keep the look natural, you can definitely over do it. And please RESIST THE FAKE TAN! Your skin colour is perfect for you and will look gorgeous in the photos!
Keep hair away from your face
Unruly hair that flies into your face can spoil your wedding pictures. If your wedding is at an outdoor venue like the beach, keep your hair off your face with hairpins and setting spray. If you leave your hair open, ensure that it is manageable. Choose a hairstyle that highlights your facial features and also suits the contours of your face. A few tendrils look great, but too many curls will look artificial and can cover the face in what could have been a gorgeous portrait.
Be comfortable & always communicate with your photographer
Some poses can make you uncomfortable, and this will reflect in the pictures. If you aren’t happy about striking certain poses, don’t hesitate to say something to your photographer. The key is to be comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, and your photos will look amazing. The best pictures are often the candid in-between-the-poses shots, where you take your attention off the camera. Some of my couples I only instruct when necessary, if what they are doing together naturally looks beautiful I run with it! And there are others that benefit from more direction. These are all conversations to have with your photographer prior to the day. This is your day, be a demand on your photographer to deliver! I know I love it when my couples are that way with me!
Relax and surrender to the experience, it can be a load of fun!
You will look most photogenic in pictures that capture your personality! Keep this in mind and be yourself on your wedding day. Don’t be obsessed with the camera. Just relax, have fun and trust your photographer to do the rest. Enjoy every special moment, and your wedding pictures will also reflect the happiness perfection of your day.

UNIT-III FLUID DYNAMICS: Surface and body forces, Concepts of fluid system and control volume –Euler’s and Bernoulli’s equations for flow for 2-D flow, Momentum equation and its application – forces on pipe bend. MEASUREMENT OF FLOW: Pitot tube, Venturi meter and Orifice meter – classification of orifices and mouth pieces–flow over rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal notches. Bernoulli’s equations for flow 1. Brine of specific gravity 1.15 is draining from the bottom of a large open
tank through an 80 mm pipe. The drain pipe ends at a point 10 m below the surface of the brine in the tank. Considering a stream line starting at the surface of the brine in the tank and passing through the centre of the drain line to the point of discharge and assuming the friction is negligible, calculate the velocity of flow along the stream line at the point of discharge from the pipe.
2. A pipeline (Fig-1) is 15 cm in diameter and it is at an elevation of 100 m at section A. At section B it is at an elevation of 107 m and has diameter of 30 cm. When a discharge of 50 litre/sec of water is passed through this pipeline, pressure at A is 35 kPa. The energy loss in pipe is 2m of water. Calculate pressure at B if flow is from A to B.
3. Water flows in a circular pipe. At one section the diameter is 0.3 m, the static pressure is 260 kPa gauge, the velocity is 3 m/s and the elevation is 10 m above ground level. The elevation at a section downstream is 0 m, and the pipe diameter is 0.15 m. Find out the gauge pressure at the downstream section. Frictional effects may be neglected. Assume density of water to be 999 kg/m3.
4. The water is flowing through a tapering pipe having diameters 300 mm and 150 mm at sections 1 and 2 respectively. The discharge through the pipe is 40 litres/sec. The section 1 is 10 m above datum and section 2 is 6 m above datum. Find the intensity of pressure at section 2 if that at section 1 is 400 kN/m2.
5. A 6m long pipe is inclined at an angle of 20° with the horizontal. The smaller section of the pipe which is at lower level is of 100 mm diameter and the larger section of the pipe is of 300 mm diameter as shown in Fig-2. If the pipe is uniformly tapering and the velocity of water at the smaller section is 1.8 m/s, determine the difference of pressures between the two sections.
6. Water is flowing through a pipe having diameters 600 mm and 400 mm at the bottom and upper end respectively. The intensity of pressure at the bottom end is 350 kN/m2 and the pressure at the upper end is 100 kN/m 2. Determine the difference in datum head if the rate of flow through the pipe is 60 litres/sec.
Momentum equation 7. In a 45° bend a rectangular air duct of 1 m 2 cross-sectional area is gradually reduced to 0.5 m2 area. Find the magnitude and direction of force required to hold the duct in position if the velocity of flow at 1 m 2 section is 10 m/s, and pressure is 30 kN/m 2. Take the specific weight of air as 0.0116 kN/m3.
8. 250 litres/sec. of water is flowing in a pipe having a diameter of 300 mm. If the pipe is bent by 135°, find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force on the bend. The pressure of the water flowing is 400 kN/m 2. Take specific weight of water as 9.81 kN/m3.
9. 360 litres per second of water is flowing in a pipe. The pipe is bent by 120°. The pipe bend measures 360 mm × 240 mm and volume of the bend is 0.14 m3. The pressure at the entrance is 73 kN/m2 and the exit is 2.4 m above the entrance section. Find the force exerted on the bend.
10. Water enters a reducing pipe horizontally and comes out vertically in the downward direction. If the inlet velocity is 5 m/s and pressure is 80 kPa (gauge) and the diameters at the entrance and exit sections are 30 cm and 20 cm respectively, calculate the components of the reaction acting on the pipe.
11. The angle of a reducing bend is 60° (that is deviation from initial direction to final direction). Its initial diameter is 300 mm and final diameter 150 mm and is fitted in a pipeline, carrying a discharge of 360 litres/sec. The pressure at the commencement of the bend is 2.943 bar. The friction loss in the pipe bend may be assumed as 10 per cent of kinetic energy at exit of the bend. Determine the force exerted by the reducing bend.
12. A horizontal venturimeter with inlet diameter 200 mm and throat diameter 100 mm is used to measure the flow of water. The pressure at inlet is 0.18 N/mm2 and the vacuum pressure at the throat is 280 mm of mercury. Find the rate of flow. The value of Cd may be taken as 0.98.
13. A horizontal venturimeter with inlet diameter 200 mm and throat diameter 100 mm is employed to measure the flow of water. The reading of the differential manometer connected to the inlet is 180 mm of mercury. If the co-efficient of discharge is 0.98, determine the rate of flow.
14. A horizontal venturimeter with inlet and throat diameters 300 mm and 100 mm respectively is used to measure the flow of water. The pressure intensity at inlet is 130 kN/m2 while the vacuum pressure head at the throat is 350 mm of mercury. Assuming that 3 per cent of head is lost in between the inlet and throat, find: (i) The value of Cd (co-efficient of discharge) for the venturimeter, and (ii) Rate of flow.
15. A venturimeter (throat diameter = 10.5 cm) is fitted to a water pipeline (internal diameter = 21.0 cm) in order to monitor flow rate. To improve accuracy of measurement, pressure difference across the venturimeter is measured with the help of an inclined tube manometer, the angle of inclination being 30° (Fig-3). For a manometer reading of 9.5 cm of mercury, find the flow rate. Discharge co-efficient of venturimeter is 0.984.
16. Water at the rate of 30 litres/sec. is flowing through a 0.2 m. pipe. A venturimeter of throat diameter 0.1 m is fitted in the pipeline. A differential manometer in the pipeline has an indicator liquid M and the manometer reading is 1.16 m. What is the relative density of the manometer liquid M? Venturi co-efficient = 0.96; Density of water = 998 kg/m3.
17. Determine the rate of flow of water through a pipe of 300 mm diameter placed in an inclined position where a venturimeter is inserted, having a throat diameter of 150 mm. The difference of pressure between the main and throat is measured by a liquid of sp. gravity 0.7 in an inverted U- tube which gives a reading of 260 mm. The loss of head between the main and throat is 0.3 times the kinetic head of the pipe.
18. Water flows at the rate of 0.015 m3/s through a 100 mm diameter orifice used in a 200 mm pipe. What is the difference of pressure head between the upstream section and the vena contracta section? Take co-efficient of contraction Cc = 0.60 and Cv = 1.0.
19. The following data relate to an orificemeter: Diameter of the pipe = 240 mm Diameter of the orifice = 120 mm Sp. gravity of oil = 0.88 Co-efficient of discharge of the meter = 0.65. Reading of differential manometer = 400 mm of mercury Determine the rate of flow of oil.
20. A submarine fitted with a Pitot tube moves horizontally in sea. Its axis is 12 m below the surface of water. The Pitot tube fixed in front of the submarine and along its axis is connected to the two limbs of a U-tube containing mercury, the reading of which is found to be 200 mm. Find the speed of the submarine. Take the specific gravity of sea water = 1.025 times fresh water.
21. Petroleum oil (sp. gr. = 0.9 and viscosity = 13 centipoise) flows isothermally throughb a horizontal 5 cm pipe. A Pitot tube is inserted at the centre of a pipe and its leads are filled with the same oil and attached to a U-tube containing water. The reading on the manometer is 10 cm. Calculate the volumetric flow of oil in m3/s. The co-efficient of Pitot tube is 0.98.
22. A vertical sharp-edged orifice 120 mm in diameter is discharging water at the rate of 98.2 litres/sec. under a constant head of 10 metres. A point on the jet, measured from the vena contracta of the jet has co-ordinates 4.5metres horizontal and 0.54 metre vertical. Find the following for the orifice. (i) Co-efficient of velocity, (ii) Co-efficient of discharge, and (iii) Co-efficient of contraction.
23. A large tank has a sharp edged circular orifice of 930 mm 2 area at a depth of 3 m below constant water level. The jet issues horizontally and in a horizontal distance of 2.4 m, it falls by 0.53 m, the measured discharge is 4.3 lit/s. Derermine coefficients of velocity, contraction and discharge for the orfice.

MEXICO CITY — Lawmakers in the border state of Tamaulipas voted Wednesday night to legalize same-sex marriage, becoming the last of Mexico’s 32 states to allow such unions.
The state’s Civil Code amendment passed with 23 votes in favor, 12 against and two abstentions, sparking cheers of “Yes, we can!” from advocates of change.
The session came as groups for and against the measure chanted and shouted from balconies, and lawmakers eventually moved into another room to wrap up their debate and vote.
The President of the Nation’s Supreme Court of Justice, Arturo Zaldívar, welcomed the vote. “The whole country shines with a giant rainbow. Live in accordance with the dignity and rights of everyone. Love is love,” he said on Twitter.
A day earlier, legislators in the southern state of Guerrero passed a similar law allowing same-sex marriage.
In 2015, the Supreme Court declared state laws that prevent same-sex marriage unconstitutional, but some states took several years to pass legislation consistent with the ruling.


Fredericton – A coalition Indigenous leaders, scientists and conservationists joined forces on Feb. 27 to protest the Trudeau government’s move to allow Northcliff’s Sisson mine project to use two fish-bearing brooks as dumping grounds for its toxic waste.
The public has until March 18 to comment on the federal government proposal to list parts of Bird Brook and the West Branch of Napadogan Brook on Schedule 2. If the government adds these brooks to Schedule 2, an amendment to the Metal Mining and Diamond Effluent Regulations of the Fisheries Act, the brooks will no longer enjoy environmental protections and can be used for Sisson’s mine waste.
Lawrence Wuest, an ecologist and resident of the Upper Nashwaak Watershed, noted that, “this recent recommendation by Environment and Climate Change Canada, and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to permit destruction of 16 km of fish-bearing streams in the Upper Nashwaak Watershed in order to facilitate the Sisson Mine Project is not only contrary to good science, but the decision also ignores currently recommended best practices in the mining industry.”
“The decision fails to consider the consequences of the demonstrably bad business case associated with this venture. The inevitable financial failure of this mine will leave the province with an environmental mess and unmanageable cleanup bill for decades to come,” added Wuest.
The proposal to sacrifice the brooks for Sisson’s mine faced widespread local opposition during a public meeting in Stanley last year.
Lois Corbett, the Conservation Council of New Brunswick’s Executive Director, said that it is important for people to continue to participate in public processes and is encouraging the public to reiterate their calls to the federal government to protect the Nashwaak’s fish-bearing brooks by sending letters through the Conservation Council’s website during the public comment period.
The federal government has done a disservice to the public by failing to conduct a rigorous scientific assessment of alternative technologies for managing the mine’s waste, according to Peter Toner, President of the Nashwaak Watershed Association.
“The mine will be forever. The mine’s waste will have to be managed forever,” said Nathan Wilbur, a geomorphic engineer with the Atlantic Salmon Federation, who is opposed to the mine’s risky waste disposal and considers the fish habitat compensation plans to be insufficient. The Nashwaak River is home to the endangered Atlantic salmon, American eel and other fish.
“The Nashwaak River is important to the lives of so many people. If the tailings dam fails, there is no recovery from this type of destruction as we have seen in the Mount Polley disaster. No amount of money will ever be enough to pay for the destruction of our watershed,” said Earl Brewer, a local businessman, philanthropist and native of Greenhill, a community near the proposed Sisson mine site.
Ron Tremblay, Wolastoq Grand Council Chief, and Wolastoq Grandmother Ramona Nicholas showed the medicines that will be affected by the Sisson mine project: sweetgrass, cedar and ash.
Kenneth Francis with Elsipogtog’s Kopit Lodge supports the Wolastoq Nation in opposing the Sisson mine. He calls the mine “an abrogation of Indigenous Title and Rights. We say no to the abuse of the habitat of our finned brothers and sisters and all our other relations that will be put at risk by this project due to the design of the tailings pond and the plan to allow devastation of these two brooks, which feed into the Nashwaak rivershed and from there into the St. John or Wolastoq River.”
“Water moves and flows through deep aquifers, springs, bogs, brooks, marshes, lakes, rivers and into the ocean tides throughout Wolastokuk our homeland. Water is life!” said Tremblay.

"Even allowing for the fact that we have followed Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson), and Ron (Rupert Grint) into the slough of puberty and out the other side, the whole thing does seem preternaturally stained with Weltschmerz. The middle of the film consists largely of the three of them arguing about their hopeless situation, at length, in a tent. Meanwhile, the forces of apocalypse abound, outnumbered by the blatant thefts from Tolkien, Orwell, and Arthurian myth. I hate to remind the millions of fans, but didn’t this all begin with a bunch of kids buzzing around on broomsticks?"

KK might be getting the 4.0 option.
Little Birdy told me some 4.0 Liberty's have scooted down the line at Toledo North Assembly Plant. (TNAP)
yup 263hp i believe, the 3.7 is too under powered for the Liberty IMO, We took our 2010 Limited on a 12 hour drive south to GA from MI, damn thing downshifted every chance it got, sometimes even downshifted 2 gears while in cruise just to keep movin at the proper speed.
With the 2011 GC getting a Pentastar V6 it wouldn't make sense to keep making the 3.7 just for the Liberty. They might not have been able to make enough 4.0's to match production of the Wrangler and all the other vehicles that use the 4.0.
1st one- 1989 Cherokee Laredo. 12 great years
2nd one- 2001 Cherokee Limited. Got it before they were gone.
Maybe. Im just tired of the Wrangler getting the shaft when it comes to whats under the hood. The lack of a decent engine is why I didnt buy a new one over this summer. And until the option of a V-8 with a manual shows up Ill keep rolling my '00.
