Colombia has only been in the World Cup four times
From 1929 to 2009 Mexico's official national futball, or soccer team had won 480 games out of 721 games played.
El Salvador has beat Mexico four times in Soccer.
Soccer is played 100 times more!
1.7 countries the size of Colombia would fit inside Mexico (1.9 million km2 vs 1.1 million km2)
Mexico is better. Out of like 16 games Mexico played honduras, honduras has only won two times. PS I'm not Mexican, I'm Japanese. I just hate honduras and hondurans.
They have played each other about 50-60 times :) :) :)
They have played each other 34 times and it is called football not 'soccer' thank you.
No so 0 times.
Honduras is a good team and so is Mexico but Honduras has beat Mexico more times
Mexico & Argentina have faced off 15 times Argentina has won 11 & Mexico 4 Argentina has scored 37 times on Mexico Mexico has scored 24 times on Argentina They have also drawed 10 times (:

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 now allows clients to share media and communicate within a network without maintaining a connection to every other client within that group. Unlike traditional streaming or first-generation RTMFP, the new RTMFP grouping in Flash 10.1 reduces the load on the service publisher by supporting application-level multicast, rather than sourcing media from the publishing peer or a centralized server cluster. Previous models required the addition of extra Flash Media Servers in order to scale, but Flash 10.1 offers application-level multicast to increase scalability. It also includes support for Direct Routing, which allows developers to create communication applications and send data messages to specific peers. Flash 10.1 also lets the client application define groups by functionality and access, and includes features like low latency, which is vital for VoIP, end-to-end peering capability, security and scalability. RTMFP is UDP based, always encrypted, and can traverse NATs and firewalls.
Flash 10.1 requires “Stratus,” a hosted peer introduction service, to perform peer-assisted networking. According to Adobe,
“When using Stratus, all data is encrypted and sent directly from client to client without touching a server. In comparison, [with] applications using Flash Media Server (and RTMP), data always flows through the server consuming both upload and download bandwidth from the server and clients. Stratus is a preview service that has limitations including no custom server programming and no remote shared object support”
Flash 10.1 represents a considerable step forward in the evolution of Adobe's media and communication delivery. According to Adobe, “Interactive applications like webcam chat, voice over IP, text chat can be built into solutions like live help, dating sites, company communication, marketing or advertising can all be created using RTMFP.”
If you run a small to midsized business and you're still relying on a traditional phone system, you need to rethink things. VoIP offers most businesses, regardless of the size, huge benefits. For small businesses, it unlocks the opportunity to have an enterprise-level communication system without the traditional expenses. more
If you’re interested in a straightforward way to improve the productivity of your employees, it's time to consider adopting a Unified Communications (UC) strategy. more


INTRODUCTION TO CHAPTER ONE
It is described as an effort to replicate on a computer a real-life or hypothetical occurrence so that it may be analyzed in order to determine how the system performs, according to Wikipedia (2009). System behavior predictions may be made by modifying the variables in the system, which can be used to forecast the behavior of the system as a whole. A computer program that seeks to mimic an abstract model of a specific system under examination can also be thought of as an example. In the words of Thomas and Hooper (1991), a computer simulation is a computer program that comprises a manipulable model of a real-world or theoretical system that can be tested. Students may use the application to guide the model through a series of intermediate phases in order to move it from one state to another and eventually to a defined goal state, as seen in the video. Because of this, the simulation program receives directions from the user and, as necessary, makes alterations to the existing state of the model. As soon as the situation calls for it, the newly created state is presented. It is possible that computer simulations will prove to be extremely effective tools for a number of activities including assessing, developing, and engaging with complex systems or processes. The components of the current learning aim that are the most important to a learner can be represented by computer simulations that are carefully built. It has been said by the authors that “they also tell both teachers and students when there are elements of the real-life system or process that have been reduced or eliminated” (Heinich, Molenda, Russell, & Smaldino, 1999; Sternberg, 1999). Developing correct mathematical models is the foundation of successful computer simulations, and it is essential for effectively depicting the phenomenon or process under investigation (Min, 2002). According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, on the other hand, “computer simulations have been shown to be most beneficial for learning when extraneous components of the real-life event or process are excluded from the simulation” (National Institute of Standards and Technology, n.d). (Granland, Bergland, & Eriksson, 2000).
As defined by Akpan (2002), “simulation is “the process of creating an accurate model of an actual system and performing tests on that model with the purpose of either learning how the system behaves or assessing various methods to its operation.” Incorporating the power of the computer into virtual reality simulations may prove to be a beneficial tool for educators in the development of higher-level cognitive processes and problem-solving abilities in students at a younger age than is now possible with traditional methods (Ellis, 1984; Marks, 1982; Nakleh, 1983, and Switzer and White, 1984). Classroom simulations in science courses, according to several authors, have the potential to play an important and valid role in the creation of virtual experiments that allow students to use instruments and monitor experiments while they are learning, test new models, and improve their intuitive understanding of complex phenomena. The use of simulations in the classroom, they believe, can assist students in developing a more intuitive understanding of intricate processes. Heinich and colleagues (1999) discovered that simulations can assist students in recognizing links between components of a system, learning about the system, and managing the components of the system, among other things. Through the use of simulations, instructors may make in-class learning more enjoyable for students by giving them the chance to practice in various settings that are similar to “real-life” challenges that they may encounter in the future. Pupils’ ability to synthesize knowledge is enhanced by simulations, which allow them to apply what they already know in a new scenario. Additionally, by providing children with a range of options from which to choose, they are able to achieve a greater level of cognitive functioning as well. Simulators may also be beneficial to students because they give them with learning environments in which they may search for meaning, learn to accept ambiguity, and develop a sense of responsibility.
Simulators have the potential to make major contributions to scientific education by, among other things, offering adequate learning opportunities to a varied range of learners and inspiring students to learn science both within and outside of the classroom environment. Students are introduced to the obstacles through simulations, and they are given the opportunity to use the simulation as a powerful instrument to conduct investigations and solve problems over the course of the course. Aiming to transfer knowledge while also fostering higher-order problem-solving abilities in both the classroom and the real world, educational simulations are used to help students learn more effectively. Students can examine what happens as a result of their investigations and manipulations of variables since they have the capacity to experiment with and adjust variables in simulations. In order to provide feedback to the participants’ thinking and learning processes, the outcomes of this study should be utilised in future research.
Computer simulations give a way of verifying our understanding of the actual world by simulating the structure and dynamics of a conceptual system or a real environment in a controlled setting (Lunce, 2004). Because they concentrate on the most crucial components of a real-world scenario or system, they are able to give “interactive practice” of practical skills (Heinich, Molenda, Russell, & Smaldino, 1999). Similar to interactive museum displays, computer simulations have the capacity to “convey difficult and sophisticated scientific knowledge,” according to the National Science Foundation (Saul, 2001). As a result, a compelling computer simulation encourages learners to take an active role in the interaction. For example, an engaging computer simulation can assist learners in predicting the course and outcomes of certain actions, understanding why observed events occur, exploring the effects of changing preliminary conclusions, gaining insight, and stimulating critical thinking. When employing computer simulations in the classroom, students can also receive “feedback during the learning process,” according to the MIT Sloan School of Management (Granland, Bergland, & Eriksson, 2000). In part because “computer simulations are flexible and dynamic,” they can assist learners in accomplishing certain learning objectives by providing them with support (Gibbons, Fairweather, Anderson, & Merrill, 1997).
Several limitations of computer simulations as compared to other educational approaches must be taken into consideration while evaluating their effectiveness. Due to the widespread use of computer simulations in conjunction with “problem-based learning” methods, they encourage students to personally engage with a problematic situation and experiment with a variety of approaches that can take a long time to arrive at a solution as the first step in the learning process (Heinich, et. al.,1999). As a result, this type of learning may take much longer to complete than other types of education, if not significantly longer than other types of education. As a second point, research has revealed that, in the absence of coaching, the learner obtains little benefit from “discovery learning” through computer simulations, as indicated by the paper’s authors (Min, 2001; Heinich, Molenda, Russell, & Smaldino, 1999). In their view, computer simulations “oversimplify the complexities of real-life situations,” leading to the learner developing a “incorrect understanding” of the real-world problem or system as a result of the simulation (Heinich, et. al., 1999). Finally, it should be mentioned that the construction of computer simulations may need extensive planning on your side, as well as a significant investment of both time and financial resources on your part, before it can begin.
Simulator Characteristics and Features
According to Rik (2001), the concept of simulation is a genuine container concept that may be portrayed in a variety of various ways. Management games, war games, training simulators, model driven simulations, and a slew of other activities may be employed in education, in addition to role plays and group discussions, among many other things. There are many more ways to explain simulation, but the fundamental idea is that it is based on the concept of a real container.
He believes that simulation should be viewed from the perspective of someone who is attempting to learn on their own, and that simulation software should be treated as a learning tool. For the most of his working life, he restricted himself to computer-based simulations and modeling exercises. This work is therefore limited to “model-driven computer simulation,” which is a type of computer simulation based on mathematical models of phenomena that we believe is essential to incorporate into education, either through the use of computers in a lesson or by passing it on to children as a worthwhile experience, and which is more or less common.
Standard model-driven computer simulation may be used as a learning tool in a number of settings, and it is becoming increasingly popular. It takes phenomena from the worlds of children and adults into the family home for the aim of observing and discussing them with the rest of the family. Everything, from knowledge on the growth of crops in the tropics to information about the Dutch economy to information in the field of medical, has suddenly been accessible at a low cost and with little trouble. In the classroom, for in-company training, or for extra mural training in general, such learning tools are extremely popular among teachers and educational planners all over the world, whether they are delivered on CD-i, CD-rom, or downloaded from the electronic highway, or whether they are delivered in the home, on CD-i, CD-rom, or downloaded from the electronic highway. Because they can be executed on a computer, computer simulations are frequently recognized as excellent multimedia projects in their own right. A significant benefit may now be gained through the use of motion graphics, video, and other dynamic forms of representation due to the development and availability of low-cost graphic and animation software. Such simulations can only be carried out if mathematical models (also known as “model-driven” models) are first built to represent the relevant events. Then intelligent input must be supplied to guide the simulations throughout their course. Besides the fact that computers are necessary for the digitization of all kinds of information and feedback, they are also required for simulations that should be based on mathematical models and that cannot be carried out without the assistance of computers.

Gluten Free? Not a problem!
September 6, 2020
We always ask our guests about their food preferences including “no-no’s” and allergies and then try to accommodate. Recently a guest told us that they are wrestling with celiac so we served up our Sweet Potato Quiche and it was a hit with everyone at the table! Here’s the recipe so give it a whirl whether you are passing on gluten or not.
Sweet Potato Quiche (Gluten Free)
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon oil
1 (5-ounce) bag baby spinach torn into pieces
1 ½ cup Half and Half (we cut back on this a little and add some ricotta cheese)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 large eggs
4 cups shredded cheese (a blend of Swiss, Gouda, Sharp Cheddar is our favorite!)
Preheat the oven to 350°
Peel and thinly slice sweet potatoes (Using a mandolin speeds the process but a knife works)
Coat a pie plate with cooking spray, then fill the bottom of the dish with a layer of sweet potato slices. Cut the sweet potato rounds in half and fill around the edges of the pie dish; round side facing up.
Once the entire dish is filled, coat one more time with cooking spray.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Add the spinach to the pie and return to the oven and bake another 5 minutes or so to cook the spinach.
Turn heat up to 375°
Combine Half and Half, salt, pepper, nutmeg and eggs; stir with a whisk. Pour egg mixture into the potato/spinach mixture.
Top with shredded cheese
Bake at 375° for 35 minutes. (Check and if not set in the middle return to oven until finished)
Let stand 5 minutes; cut into 6 wedges.

MUMBAI: The Central Government on Friday told the Supreme Court that the one-day blackout order against New Delhi Television Ltd (NDTV) India will be reversed only when the channel offers an apology for its coverage of the Pathankot militant attack on 2 January last year.
Appearing for NDTV India, senior advocate Harish Salve sought a week's time to inform the court if the NDTV India would tender an apology.
Earlier, India's highest court had, on November 6, deferred the hearing in the case to 5 December, citing reason of no urgency for its hearing. Information and broadcasting ministry had asked NDTV India to go off-air on 9 November after the government accused it of airing sensitive information related to the terror attack.
NDTV had, however, refuted the allegations stating that other channels had also reported the same. Information and broadcasting minister M. Venkaiah Naidu however supported the ban, stating that it was in the interest of India's security.
Major media organisations and journalists condemned the ban and protested against it, comparing it with the emergency when the right of the freedom of press was violated.
NDTV India channel telecast a report on the Pathankot attack disclosing sensitive information well beyond the briefing given by the designated officer while the anti-terrorist operations were still under way. The content was found in violation of Rule 6(1)(p) of the Programme Code. The matter was placed before the IMC on 25 July, 2016, in which representative of the channel was also afforded an opportunity of a personal hearing. It was recommended that the channel may be taken off air for at least one day keeping in view the gravity of the violation and an order issued on 2 November 2016.

Wyoming is a major coal producing state, accounting for about 40% of all coal mining in the United States.
But while other coal states like West Virginia and Kentucky posted strong rebounds last year, Wyoming lagged behind.
Unlike in the eastern U.S., most of Wyoming's coal is used for producing electricity -- and when demand for energy declined in the U.S. last year, it set Wyoming's mining industry slightly back.
Now that energy is rebounding and coal prices are soaring, Wyoming is likely to come out ahead again in 2011.

Akeredolu denies plot to implicate predecessor
Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has denied his involvement in plots to implicate or probe administration of the immediate past governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko.
Akeredolu refuted rumours circulated in the social media that he allegedly threatened to expose Mimiko to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
A statement in Akure, yesterday, signed by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Donald Ojogo, said: “The widely-circulated story line is untrue, puerile and utterly mischievous. It is, in all intents, a cleverly laid path for the two friends to engage in a needless mudslinging.”He said this could not be unconnected with the upcoming governorship election in the state.
He continued: “It is, perhaps, pertinent to state unequivocally that Governor Akeredolu does not desire, not even in the least of anyone’s imagination, to travel such pernicious path typical of those, who have taken the route of perfidy for the sake of their political ambitions.
“We have since wished them well, even in their self-inflicted tears of treachery and betrayal.
“Clearly too, the former governor, in Akeredolu’s view, is well-acquainted with the antecedents of those that have chosen to embrace any straw, including those they had mindlessly plotted against in the past, to keep their waning political comfort zones afloat.
“Nonetheless, while Akeredolu has nothing against his friend and immediate past predecessor, he has chosen to allow posterity to intercede and interpret the roles of men in whatever form… ”

The name of our group is Bellflur and we have started a kickstarter fund to help us afford the final production and fabrication costs of both the vinyl and the Box Set we are making to house the vinyl.
We have never released a vinyl album before and we are getting carried away with ideas for making the Box something worth the time and effort we put into making each one and worth the money we are charging for one. The drawback is that we have very limited funds of our own so we are hoping that our friends and people who like our music can help us afford to not cut too many corners and make this project come to fruition. With that being said, I do believe that we are offering some nice rewards in exchange for the kindness of helping out a group of musicians in need.
The album is called Old Sun New Songs/Twelve Vagrant Monologues From the Last Living Star.
The album consists of 5 songs on 2 sides.
Side One (4 songs)
- Old Sun New Songs
- Twelve Vagrant Monologues From the Last Living Star
This song takes up the entire second side of the vinyl and is a collaborative effort with author Pablo D'Stair and consists of experimental sections of music written to back a written series of prose.
The Box Set will include pieces of artwork:
- 1 piece for each of the songs on Side One
- 1 piece for each of the chapters of Side Two (12 pieces total)
- 1 original piece of artwork on the tray underneath the vinyl(unique for each box set)
One of the things we set out to do with this album was to release something with large prints for the artwork so that one could take their time flipping through the book while listening to the album and just relax. CD artwork is so small that is more painful than enjoyable to browse. Feeling inspired by the Taschen series of books we amped up our production. Each of the prints is 12" by 12" and should be easy for anyone's eyes to peruse.
We are looking to release the album in April of 2012 and will shoot to have a release show around the same time.
More details will following in the next few weeks.
Please check back with us at:
Thank you for reading and have a good day,
Carlos, Dana, Derek, Eamonn, Mike, Patrick, Pedro, Shannon, Susan and Tom!

Dem Chairman Betras not in favor of challenge
David Betras, Mahoning County Democratic Party chairman.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted
Former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann
By David Skolnick
Mahoning County Democratic Party Chairman David Betras said he doesn’t favor a legal challenge to the secretary of state’s decision to not seat him on the county board of elections.
Betras is calling a 4:30 p.m. Friday meeting of the county party’s executive committee to recommend not filing a lawsuit against Secretary of State Jon Husted, and have the committee’s members select someone else for the elections job.
“We’ll have a frank discussion on what to do,” Betras said Tuesday. “My recommendation is to appoint someone else. It’s not about me. It’s about the party.”
The term of Michael Morley, who resigned Sept. 19 to allow Betras to replace him, expires Feb. 29, 2012.
Betras planned to seek the full four-year term that would start the next day.
Austintown Trustee David Ditzler, a former county Democratic chairman, wants Husted to reconsider and appoint Betras. With that highly unlikely, Ditzler said he would seek the appointment for the rest of Morley’s unexpired term.
Ditzler said hopefully Husted would allow Betras to serve the four-year term that would start March 1, 2012.
A legal challenge could cost the party up to $50,000, Betras said.
“I won’t deplete the party’s resources,” he said.
In a letter, Husted, a Republican, rejected the party’s nomination of Betras as an elections board member calling the party chairman “not competent.”
Husted cited Betras’ “wrongful conduct” as treasurer of ex-Attorney General Marc Dann’s transition account.
“I’m a tad conflicted,” Betras said.
“I want to fight this, but that’s not what’s best for the party. I don’t think the letter is fair. I should have been asked for input and wasn’t.”
Betras never was charged with any crime, and said Husted’s decision is based on “fiction,” is “partisan,” and “it impugns my character.”
Except for a portion of one ethics conviction against Dann, no one else was charged with criminal activity related to the fund.
Husted gave Mahoning County Democrats until Monday to submit a recommendation to him for the vacant Democratic seat on the board of elections.
If one isn’t chosen by then, Husted would select a board member, said Matt McClellan, the secretary of state’s spokesman.
“We will be meeting with Mr. Betras later this week. While we do not expect to change our decision, we do believe there are important points of difference that need to be discussed face to face,” McClellan added.
Betras disagrees with the Monday deadline, but said party officials would rather have “some say than no say” in selecting a replacement for Morley.
Kenneth Carano, the party’s executive vice chairman and a former state representative, wants the party to seek a restraining order against Husted on the deadline.
“We can’t simply roll over on this,” he said. “I don’t think we should be looking for a replacement. We should be fighting the secretary of state on this.”


TEHRAN, July 8 (UPI) -- Final tests at Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant were completed ahead of the scheduled opening in September, the Russian company that built the facility said.
Russia's Atomstroyexport said it finished the so-called "hot operational testing" that was in the final stage before the fall opening of the facility, RIA Novosti reported Thursday.
"Efficiency tests of the reactor equipment and supporting technological systems was held," Atomstroyexport officials said in a statement.
In June, Iran's nuclear chief, Ali Akbar Salehi said the Bushehr facility would be operational in mid-September. Russian officials said construction of the plant wasn't affected by U.N. sanctions against Iran for its nuclear operations that Western countries fear are for development of a nuclear weapon. Iran maintains its nuclear operations are for peaceful purposes.


My cruise control is not working.
The cruise control circuit has some vital components that are simple to check. The circuit uses the brake lights as part of the circuit to cut off the cruise when you step on the brake. If a brake light is out, the system will sometimes not work. This can include the third brake light. Other components that can fail are the brake light switch, the cruise control switch, the mechanism that maintains the throttle depressed. These are lesson common but they do fail. I suggest getting help from a qualified mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, to help you diagnose why your cruise control is not working.

Minneapolis City Council member Diane Hofstede and state Rep. Bobby Joe Champion, center, share a shovel as they help plant the first of 3,100 boulevard trees to replace the damaged tree canopy in north Minneapolis. Last May’s tornado downed about 2,400 boulevard trees and 3,425 park trees. Also joining in are City Council members Don Samuels and Barb Johnson and state Rep. Joe Mullery. Holding the tree is forestry worker Bee Yang. My colleague Laura Yuen took this photo April 9.
My little tree-hugging heart swelled yesterday when I arrived home.
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board crews have planted new trees on the boulevard to replace the ones that died from some kind of bug.
Tomorrow, April 28, the non profit Tree Trust group will host two free workshops on proper tree planting and care 10 to 11 a.m., April 28, Powderhorn Park and 7 to 8 p.m., May 1, UROC (the University of Minnesota’s Urban Research and Outreach Engagement Center at 2001 Plymouth Ave. N.). To register, contact Tree Trust’s Forestry Department at 952-767-3886.
The workshop is aimed at folks who have asked to have trees planted. City and park officials say 7,500 trees have been planted in the past five years.
When St. Paul city officials took stock of their tree situation they came up with these facts:
Tree canopy covers 32.5% of the total land area of Saint Paul
66.2% of Saint Paul is suitable for tree canopy cover
Residential, single-family parcels offer the greatest area for increased canopy cover
If you want the big picture for the state of Minnesota’s tree story, there’s a dandy discussion in the newest issue of the University of Minnesota’s CFAN’s magazine.
Couple of points emerge: There are too many maples, and urban tree life expectancy is relatively short because of stress.

The Waterleaf Seedbag is a pre-hardmode seedbag that shoots a seed that will sprout into a big Waterleaf for 3 seconds. The plant emits 4 spore cloud that will home at enemies and inflict the Wet debuff making it really good to PvP against invisible players or to locate worm-like enemies. It will travel 20 tiles from the plant even though the spore homes in at enemies that are 25 tiles away from it. The spore dealing continuous damage, it is more reliable in damage per second if the plant is thrown right beneath the enemies as the cloud will have more time to deal multiple hits before disappearing. The seed thrown will deal damage to the enemy touched and go through it to spawn wherever the seed touches a tile.
When thrown against a wall, the seed will fall on the ground several tiles apart from the wall.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- Because of how the spawning of plants from Seedbag works, it is possible to throw the plant outside of a 1 tile width wall if the player is close enough to it and only from the sides.

1934 Chrysler Airflow
Walter P. Chrysler had high hopes for the Airflow, it was a brilliant and revolutionary creation with the promise of cutting-edge design and advanced technology, yet it suffered from the detrimental effects of the Great Depression and the negative advertising of competing rivals. Nevertheless, knowledgeable collectors and enthusiasts appreciate these magnificent cars today, which foreshadowed many of the modern automotive design and engineering features of now. The waterfall grille, sloping hood, unique headlamps and fenders were too advanced for the era and sales were disastrous. Priced at $1,245, a total of 7226 Chrysler Airflows were sold in the shortened 1934 model year. The wheelbase measured 123.5 inches, it has the engine moved over the front wheels while the rear passengers were moved forward of the rear axle, thus improving the ride.
This stunning Model CU is fully restored to new condition, powered by the original 299 cubic-inch flathead straight-8 engine offering 122 horsepower, three speed floor shift manual transmission w/overdrive & four wheel hydraulic brakes. Finished in Willow Green complimented by wide white wall tires, it"s equipped with full instrumentation, ultra rare radio, heater and rear mounted spare tire.
This luxurious automobile is currently being offered for $87500

An airplane with no moving parts has flown a distance of 60 meters.
Is that a big deal?
Yes it is, if you consider that in 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright’s first airplane changed the world when it flew a distance of only 37 meters.
Steven Barrett is an aeronautics professor at MIT. He has been leading a team of researchers investigating “ionic wind” propulsion for more than 5 years.
The first successful prototype named Version Two, uses wires at the leading edge of its wing that carry 600 watts of electricity at 40,000 volts.
The current gives a positive charge to nitrogen molecules near the wire which then flow backward toward a second wire at rear of the wing, imparting energy to neutral air molecules along the way.
As the neutral molecules stream back from the wing, they create thrust equivalent to that created by a conventional jet engine.
The solid-state prototype has a wingspan of 5 meters. Even with its battery pack and high voltage transformer fitted, it weighs a mere 2.45 kilograms. Low weight is a key component to getting the plane to fly. The researchers are now focused on ways to increase the speed and range of the aircraft.
The concept of an airplane with no moving parts could lead to zero emissions air travel, but it also could make entirely new types of aircraft possible. Perhaps a solar powered version could soar for years at the edge of space powered solely by sunlight, making it a pseudo-satellite.
It’s clearly very early days but the team at MIT have done something we never previously knew was possible in using accelerated ionized gas to propel an aircraft.

August 22 – Seismic data is used for many prospects like e.g. gas and oil exploration and to recognize appropriate localities for establishing offshore wind farms, in research, et cetera. To assemble marine seismic data, an airgun, the seismic energy source, is used. Compressed air is released in seismic pulses and converted into soundwaves that propagates spherically through the water column and down into the subsurface. Some of the energy in the seismic soundwaves will be reflected at layer boundaries, and returned to the surface. With hydrophones, located in a receiver cable (aka. a streamer), dragged after the ship, the reflected seismic energy can be converted into a 2D or 3D image of the underground.
By participating in studies like the East Greenland narwhal project, gives us an unique opportunity to identify the impact of seismic surveys on narwhals. Hopefully this will lead to future seismic data is collected in a responsible way, to protect marine wildlife.
This is also a rare opportunity to collect seismic data in an area with previous sparse seismic surveys. The hydrophones in the streamer cable are really sensitive, and in areas like Scoresby Sound, the quality of the data is affected by noise from ice floes. Nevertheless, one of the seismic lines, collected during the expedition, is illustrated below with a limited and quick interpretation. The water column is ranging between 300 and 1200 meters. The seafloor is dominated by topography in the basement, with two sedimentary basins, deposited material from melting glaciers.

National Award for HA girl
- Published 20.05.16
HA Block has produced a National Award winner. Twenty-eight-year-old Moumita Roy earlier this month was awarded the National Film Award for Best Non-Feature Film Audiography for Edpa Kana, a film in the Kurukh language of Jharkhand.
“I wasn’t expecting this award. In fact, I had forgotten that the film had been sent for the National Awards,” laughs the fresh pass-out of Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI). The winning film was the final year diploma project that she and three of her classmates had to make as part of their course and Moumita was handling the audiography.
“Audiography includes all the dialogues, music and sounds that we hear while watching a film. One has to get the right balance between them,” says Moumita. The director of the film was her classmate Niranjan Kujur who belongs to Jharkhand’s Oraon tribe and speaks Kurukh. The film is about a tribal boy of the Sarna faith who falls in love with a tribal girl who follows Christianity.
“Most of the film was shot in Jharkhand and the actors were Niranjan’s relatives. We were using sync sound (in which dialogues do not get dubbed over in the studio later) so mics had to be hidden in the actors’ clothing. We were shooting in the winter of 2014 and the mics kept picking up rustle of the actors’ winter garments,” recalls the HA 36 resident.
The 26-minute-long Edpa Kana has been making a mark in the festival circuit too but the National Award is the icing on the cake. “The ceremony in New Delhi was very formal. I received the award from the President and was off stage in a few seconds. There was a lot of security protocol too so I didn’t get to speak to other award recipients but I got to meet Sanjay Kurien, who won best audiography (location sound recordist) for the film Talvar.
Her parents watched the ceremony from the audience. “Our daughter. is good at everything she does,” says mother Sikha.
“I have been receiving calls and Facebook messages from relatives, neighbours and even school friends I had lost touch with,” she laughs.
She also won Rs 50,000 with which she plans to buy sound equipment. “As of now I’m working on a freelance basis in Calcutta. Let’s see what happens next,” she smiles.

SELIGER (Tver region), August 24 /ITAR-TASS/. Russian national air carrier Aeroflot Group plans to create a new low-cost daughter airline instead of Dobrolyot that can launch flights starting from October 27, Aeroflot Director-General Vitaly Savelyev told reporters.
Dobrolyot has suspended its flights due to EU sanctions imposed on the carrier since August 4.
“We are preparing a road map [for resumption of flights],” he said. “I believe that we can launch flights at the start of winter flight season from October 27.We will proceed from this date. We will create a new daughter company. We are transferring airplanes, which make flights now, but under OrenAir brand, to this subsidiary and will develop it according to a low-cost carrier model.”
A new airline will operate four airplanes, Savelyev said.
The Aeroflot chief executive did not say about a possible name of the new air carrier. “All this is new, these documents are new, some time is needed for this,” he said in reply to a question about the need to receive a new certificate of an aircraft operator.
The national air carrier is also pondering several other variants to resume low-cost flights, Savelyev said.
“The first one is to wait until sanctions are lifted from us [the European Union plans to reconsider the sanction list on October 31],” he said, adding that “There is one more variant to lobby this issue [resumption of low-cost flights] through western lawyers...But this is in line with first variant.”
Aeroflot has also mulled Dobrolyot’s possible conversion from limited liability company in a joint stock company, but this was “problematic” and “difficult”, Savelyev said.
“Therefore, we consider a variant now that we will register a new air company after all,” the Aeroflot chief said, adding that “We are developing this particular scenario.”
He noted that a low-cost carrier model proved to be efficient for six weeks of Dobrolyot’s operation, so, Aeroflot intends to put it into practice any way.
Dobrolyot Airline was an Aeroflot totally controlled daughter company as a low-budget air carrier. The airline’s fleet included two airliners Boeing 737-800 NG and one airliner Sukhoi SuperJet-100. Before the end of 2014 Dobrolyot planned to increase its fleet to eight airplanes Boeing 737-800 NG through European leasing companies.

I don’t deserve to love my work this deeply. It’s a God-gift that keeps rewrapping itself. I love leading Living Hope Church’s staff and arts teams. I love designing the “look and feel” of a local church. I eat up music-making, arranging, drumming, rehearsals… But what I am most grateful for beyond my redemption in Jesus is my brothers.
My team of Levites. Called to handle the Holy things, and assist the church family in coming before the throne room of the King. Musicians, yes. But mostly facilitators – in deep relationship with God and with each other.
Worship Leaders, Pastors, Executive Pastors hear this: It takes TIME and ENERGY to build your teams DEEP (not just wide), but the payoff for your Team and for your Church is incalculable.
Last night’s rehearsal was electric. Leading a rehearsal is always work, but often I leave them energized rather than drained. Last night left me buzzing. Jeremy’s Keyboard licks (and that TASTY organ patch for the intro on our opener) kept popping into the mix – making me smile big. Jordan? The Edge. Edge? Jordan. Zen picks up and owns bass licks like… as fast as I can THINK them, let alone sing them. Andy somehow channels every mood shift, every chord change, every touch. Just give him the key and he seems to intuitively know the music. Nate and Lucus chatter patiently while the band works out the details, and then they soar when we run the music.
So – musically fulfilling. Check.
What makes all the difference in the depth of the experience is our back story. The relational bonds.
I’ve wept with Jeremy through his cancer diagnosis and treatment. He knows he can call me @ 3AM asking for prayer (actually, that has happened…), and I can call him. And we’ve been on mountaintops together. Figuratively and literally. A true brother, fellow thinker, artist, heart.
Jason (@churchrd) started playing bass with me early in my first church music job. The drummer-bass brotherhood is no small thing. He used to record every rehearsal on a cassette tape player, and go through his music with a pencil to write in the note names. Committment and discipline leads to skill that leads to art. And he’s gone through viral cardiomyopathy that severely weakened his heart. So have I. Miraculously, God healed him. Miraculously, me too.
Jordan (@jordan_cd) has that rare mix of outstanding technical skill -and- the humble confidence that marks a mature Christ follower. He and Andy working together are magic. Humble, dependable, exceptional. It’s a joy to play and lead with him every time.
Nate (@n8anderson) and Lucus (@luanders) both have been prayer partners, consistent encouragers, my sounding boards when I have had doubts and worries. On multiple occasions, these two guys have been my “let’s have lunch and talk about it” friends when I needed my church to be my church. They know stuff about me that no one else does. I would take a bullet for these guys.
Andy (@andy_guitar_guy) thinks with my mind. I have never met anyone with as parallel a ministry philosophy as Andy shares with me. His heroes are my heroes. The art that moves him moves me. He is musical, visual, sensitive to moments and repelled (as I am) by pretense and the sacharine, mind-numbing “Christian art” that represents our faith poorly. We have the same heart.
I have similar stories and bonds with several others who weren’t scheduled for this week – weren’t at last night’s epic rehearsal. My team of Levites. It takes TIME. It takes contact beyond rehearsal. It takes investment of energy, resources, intentionality. But the effort leads to deeper relationships. Deeper relationships lead to deeper shared experience. And when we go before the throne of Heaven and invite our church family to come with us, we truly go TOGETHER. Deeply together. One heart and one mind, with one shared purpose. (ala Philippians 2:2)
Worship Leaders, Team builders… make the effort. Invest the time. View team building as a “long-haul” process. Deep and wide. With an emphasis on DEEP. As Nancy Beach wrote in “An Hour on Sunday…”
“When it’s all said and done, I want to cross the finish line knowing that I was a part of a Team who loved one another outrageously and did ministry side by side until the end.”
Amen and amen. Have YOU experienced “TEAM” ministry like this?

A friend came over this past weekend for an art play date, and we did gel printing. I created these papers to build back my inventory and instantly turned around and utilized a few pieces. This one is glued into one of my journals, a place where I play and have no real plan.
The next day when I was working with the papers I made, I was reminded that love comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Friends, family, colleagues, partners, new friends, old friends, pets and if we are fortunate even ourselves. This quote from Franklin P. Jones is completely accurate. Love touches everything and yet it doesn’t make it always work. However love does have the power to make everything worthwhile.
Strange how that happens. Smear a little love, some patience, a bit of creativity into our lives and everything is better. It isn’t always perfect, it is always better. So when things start to feel off kilter, spread a little love and see what happens. And when you are in need of help or support, ask for what you need – a hug, a shoulder to cry on, or even someone to be creative with while enjoying Frank Sinatra tunes. Whatever it is, whenever it is that you need it, life always gets better with a little love. All we have to do is ask. That means putting aside our pride and loving people before we need to be loved in return.
Be on the look out today for people you can sprinkle with a little love. And when you need that sprinkle in return, ask. Everything is better when love greases those squeaky wheels.

By Dr. Ken Broda-Bahm:
Since 1998, more than 4.5 million people have discovered they have more of a racial bias than they thought they had. They did this by self-administering an online tool called the Implicit Association Test. Developed by researchers at Yale University and the University of Washington, the test looks at implicit bias, or the ways unconscious attitudes lead to unjustified assumptions and perceptions about individuals of other races. While explicit racial bias is generally seen as wrong, these implicit preferences, measured by reaction times when looking at faces, are more deeply rooted. In addition to bias based on race, the researchers have also applied the same tool to document implicit preferences based on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability, body weight, and other factors. Even without rising to the level of conscious awareness, these implicit biases still have the ability to Influence judgment and behavior in a variety of contexts, including determinations of criminal guilt and sentencing.
A recent article in Court Review (Elek & Hannaford-Agor, 2013) looks at the state of the research on implicit racial bias. Written by two researchers with the National Center for State Courts, the article reviews the state of the research and also surveys court efforts so far to address it. One wrinkle is that sensitizing individuals by raising awareness of the bias can help reduce it, or it can bring on a defensive backlash that actually increases the bias. That is obviously a concern in the context of racial bias in the criminal justice system. My focus in this blog post, however, will be to look at what this discussion has to say about not just racial bias, but about biases generally.

Commercial Metal Roofing Company In Wilkes-Barre
Commercial roofs can last a year if they tend to do so properly. However, as time passes, small problems will begin to arise. When these are not monitored, they can become much larger and more expensive issues, leading to roof failures. If your facility is located in Wilkes-Barre, PA, and surrounding areas and you need professional help repairing your commercial roof, contact Anthracite Roofing Systems immediately. We have more than 60 years of experience in the roofing and general contracting industry. Our team would be happy to organize a roof analysis on the site, diagnose your roof problems, and discuss your options to resolve these problems.
Common Roof Repair Causes
Often roof repairs involve the use of roof patching, which is a temporary solution. The problem is that the roof patch or similar stopgaps can result in higher costs over time:
• Building movement and thermal shock cause damage to repairs
• Cumulative weathering may ruin the quality of an existing repair
• Other problems can arise, adding costly issues to be repaired on other parts

Our repair solutions will respond to current problems and contribute effectively to mitigating future problems. Contact us today for a professional quote for the repair of the commercial roof!

6 Signs That You Need to Repair Your Commercial Metal Roof
There is no commercial property owner who wants the news that their commercial metal roof needs to be replaced. But what if you were told that replacing the roof wasn’t your only option? Inspection of the roof twice a year to detect any signs of damage can help prevent replacements and total roof tear-offs. This blog will discuss the 6 common signs that your metal roofing system needs repair before it is too late.
At Anthracite Roofing Systems, we are experts in repairing aging metal commercial roof systems. Instead of a complete roof-tear off and replacement of the roof, we used a commercial metal roof restoration system that is proven to repair various types of roofs. If you find damaged areas after searching for these 6 signs, please contact us for a free on-site inspection of the roof.
1. Flashing is Lost or Damaged
Many types of roof systems have additional protection against the elements. Flashing is an essential protective component used to prevent the entry of water into your building. Since the flashing is installed in the weakest or most vulnerable areas, any loss or damage of flashing can cause costly problems.
Inspecting your commercial metal roof to detect any sign that flashing is damaged or lost can avoid irreparable problems with your roof system and inside your building. More specifically, check where your roof meets the walls, eaves, drains, or pipes, or around any HVAC equipment.
2. Noticeable Signs of Rust, Corrosion, or Mold
Corrosion and rust are common problems for commercial metal roofs. During your routine inspection, you can find different areas of corrosion or rust damage. In that case, it is time to bring out a professional roofing contractor. While you may only see the damage to the surface, a professional will look for any hidden damage that might ultimately lead to even more expensive repairs.
Speaking of hidden damage, the mold is also a concern for the underlying roof materials such as insulation. The mold can also be present inside your building if you have a roof leak. If you see signs of ceiling or roof damage, quickly address the leak before further damage occurs.
3. Displaced or Loose Metal Roofing Panels
Your commercial metal roof is only as good as its routine installation and maintenance. Without a proper installation, you risk the metal panels of your roof shifting. In addition, not having a regular maintenance plan means that you might lose these shifting panels to storms or other types of external threats.
Without the seamless protection of well-connected roof panels, your commercial building runs the risk of suffering damage from the elements. Hiring a professional and trusted nearby roof contractor for installation and repairs means that they will be there when you need them.
4. Bent or Damaged Fasteners
The seamless roof protection and well-connected roof panels rely on fasteners to keep everything in place. The properly installed fasteners will last longer and will help keep your commercial building protected. That does not mean that they will not be bent or damaged in time because that will happen.
That’s why it’s crucial to inspect your commercial metal roof several times a year. As you become familiar with your roof, you will begin to notice areas where fasteners need to be replaced. It is essential to have functional fasteners for seamless protection on the roof.
5. Visibly Soft or Caved-In Areas
Your metal roof should not sink or appear soft or caved in. These events indicate a much larger problem—such as damaged rust or corrosion, roof deck, and improper installation. If you see sections of the roof that seem to sink, use precautions when inspecting surrounding areas. If you are in doubt, call a professional roofer. A roofing contractor can safely inspect damaged areas without endangering their safety or additional damage to your metal roof.
6. Water Leaks into Your Commercial Building

About GORE-TEX® Fabric
GORE-TEX® fabrics are created by laminating a GORE-TEX® ePTFE (expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene) membrane to high-performance textiles. W.L. Gore doesn’t actually produce the outer or “face” fabrics (only the membrane), but is highly selective about which they choose to work with and subject potential samples to an array of tests before deciding to use them. The job of bonding the membranes and linings to face fabrics is performed in one of W.L. Gore’s facilities on several continents.
There are three categories of GORE-TEX® fabrics: GORE-TEX® Pro is designed for ultimate protection and durability in harsh condtions, GORE-TEX® Active is ideal for fast-and-light mountain travel, and GORE-TEX® is intended for all-around durable protection. GORE-TEX® is available in both 3 layer (3L) and 2 layer (2L) versions, with 3L having a mesh lining bonded to the other layers and 2L using a separate, sewn in fabric lining.
Older versions of GORE-TEX® fabrics, as well as membranes used in footwear and handwear, may use the names GORE-TEX® Pro Shell, GORE-TEX® Active Shell, GORE-TEX® Performance Shell, and GORE-TEX® XCR.
The GORE-TEX® ePTFE membrane is the heart of all GORE-TEX® products. It contains over 9 billion microscopic pores per square inch. These pores are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, but 700 times larger than a water vapor molecule, making the GORE-TEX® membrane functionally waterproof, while at the same time allowing perspiration to escape from the inside. All current GORE-TEX® products except GORE-TEX® Pro incorporate an oleophobic (oil-hating) layer of very thin Polyurethane on the body side of the membrane to protect it from sweat and body oil. GORE-TEX® Pro uses a multi-component sandwich construction without the Polyurethane layer for increased breathability.
Seams and stitching are essential aspects of a garment’s construction. Unfortunately, each time a needle penetrates fabric, it leaves a hole that water can leak through. For a garment to be waterproof, these holes must be sealed. Manufacturers using GORE-TEX® fabric are required to use GORE-SEAM® tape and W.L. Gore’s proprietary seam sealing machinery, and also provide random samples to W.L. Gore for testing throughout a product’s production run.
GORE-TEX® Product Testing
Product testing is an integral part of creating a new garment with GORE-TEX® fabric. GORE-TEX® products are put through a rigorous testing program in W.L. Gore’s laboratories before being cleared for use. Testing for abrasion and wash resistance, waterproof breathability, and susceptibility to chemicals is routine for every iteration of GORE-TEX® fabric. Products are also extensively tested in the field by industry professionals, guides and expedition groups before going into general production.

The long and short of this dust up is David Wells asked for a copy of the City’s open litigation list, a document that previous City Attorney Trent Favre kept as a matter of routine. Not only was he stonewalled by City Attorney Heather Ladner Smith, Mr. Wells was then told by Smith the document he asked for didn’t exist, a “fact” the Ethics Commission adopted in its findings. After being stonewalled by Smith, Mr. Wells was able to obtain the document that he requested from Mayor Ice, who evidently understands the value of treating the Citizenry with some respect. Here is the preliminary opinion:
On February 1, 2019 the Mississippi Ethics Commission cited the Bay St Louis City Council for violating the Mississippi Open Meeting law in the matter styled Noonan v Mayor and Councilmen of the City of Bay St Louis. In what is a recurring theme with a different cast of characters, the City conducted an improper executive session which resulted in the removal of Ellis Anderson from the Bay St Louis Historical Preservation Commission.
The opinion is not yet on the Ethics Commission website but I have seen portions of it. Essentially the Council and Mayor in the City of Bay St Louis are on the receiving end of an ethics compliant that mostly resulted from not receiving good legal advice from Board attorney Heather Ladner Smith, who failed to caution the Mayor and Council not to act on an item which was not contained on the official meeting agenda. Smith, the politically connected daughter of Hancock County Tax Collector Jimmie Ladner took over as City Attorney when Trent Favre was appointed County Court Judge.
According to Mrs. Noonan, Ms. Smith of the Butler Snow law firm is providing legal services to the City without a formal written contract, a practice the previous administration was advised to discontinue by the Office of the State Auditor.
It’s on tonight in Bay-Waveland with both the Bay City Council and the Waveland Board of Alderman meeting.
The Bay City Council meeting has potential because Mayor Favre is making another school board nomination tonight. Rumor holds he will reappoint his son Casey Favre to the Board. I’m further advised the gang has checked out the legality of such an appointment and was told it is OK provided that Trustee Favre serves without pay. School Boards are not big spenders on their Boards with per diem set by statute so serving for free is not a big hardship. Given last year’s controversy that portion of the agenda has fireworks potential. The Bay City Council meeting starts at 5:30 p.m. sharp.
They sure did folks involving two separate incidents, the first involving the Delta water contract and the other involving lunch with developer Jim Macphaille at his restaurant 200 North Beach. This document is not yet online at Mississippi Ethics so Slabbed’s readers get the sneak peek.
I am aware of several other ethics complaints that have been made against the City, I suspect each is very close to a resolution. Stay tuned.
Smith gave each council member an information package which included details of a lawsuit where suspected drug money had been seized from an individual during an arrest, but a judge had ordered it must be paid back.
“Is this part of the FBI (police) investigation fund?” Mayor Mike Favre asked Smith.
“It is, which is why I don’t want to go into details on this now,” Smith said. “We can go into an executive session if you need a few to discuss the backstory.”
A quick PACER sweep indicates there are two active civil suits against the City (Marquar and Issman) with three suits resolved within the past year or so. The docket at the local Circuit Clerk’s office would have the rest of the active cases involving the City.
Just a thought, but it seems like just yesterday the Bay City Council took some very bad legal advice and got in trouble with Ethics. When the opinion came out the lawyer that gave the bad advice got none of the blame as 100% of that went to the elected officials. Deservedly so I might add.
As the coming weeks unfold I’m probably going to be bringing that concept back up.
Slabbed readers may remember this same group of folks that are sponsoring the Town Hall recently protested at City Hall. Their demands were:
1. No PJ’s Coffee drive through be allowed in town.
2. The Alcan property must remain vacant/undeveloped.
3. A Minority must be placed on the school board at all cost.
If you live in Wards 1 or 3 this is your chance to meet your City Councilman.
My thanks to you readers that sent in photos. Here is a representative picture via the Slabbed Twitter account.
Reader submitted photo of today's protest at City Hall. Citizen complaints about lack of permit mitigated by Mayor Favre, who issued permit to demonstrators without formal application because that is how they roll in the Bay. pic.twitter.com/CBMfsCz2Rp
We have a movie that was sent in as well where I counted 19 total protesters. Here are their demands:
1. No PJ’s Coffee drive through be allowed in town.
2. The Alcan property must remain vacant.
3. A Minority be placed on the school board.
As the above Tweet stated my understanding is Mayor Favre pulled the groups permit to hold the event as he was getting Citizens complaints about the event on Highway 90, which was staged without a permit. Props to Hizzoner for helping instead of harassing the peaceful group of demonstrators.
The gang at WLOX was there was well as the Echo. It will be interesting to see their coverage.
I’ve had this post title conceived for several weeks now, ever since MDAH shut down the new PJ’s Coffee House project, a story which was well reported in the local media but which Slabbed actually broke on Twitter. Given those events as well as more recent ones it seems appropriate for the post title to cover multiple topics there in the Bay. First up was Monday’s special called school board meeting. Lana Noonan attended and she sent in a short report:
After a 33 minute Executive Session, the Bay St. Louis-Waveland School Board took action to go forward with advertising the position of Superintendent of Education.
In addition to advertising on their website and several educational entities in the state, the board voted to notify all 33 applicants who had applied in the previous search that the position is open again.
Two more Special Meetings were scheduled for April 2, and April 4, to begin interviewing those applicants who respond to the District’s ad. Those interviews will be conducted in Executive Session after the meeting opens in open session as required by the Miss. Open Meetings Act.
The Board also accepted the resignation of the Athletic Director, Vernon Powell, effective March 16.
A way to the inside observation but I do not think Bay Waveland is ready for a swinging Superintendent so lets make that 32 instead of 33.
Paul’s rendition of the events involving last night’s City Council meeting is spot on. Councilman Reed did read such a letter. My thought on that subject comport to those of Alice and Michelle. I had another councilman bring up receiving a nasty gram or two on this subject just like when Mrs. Arnold was appointed last July with Councilman Seal bringing up such an instance. Nasty grams and school board appointments have that time honored pattern in the Bay. So much effort for so little per diem indeed.
Folks, Hancock County got to watch the Courtney Thomas library drama unfold last year, so predicting a bad spinoff show for this year’s spring season for the school board seat involving Momma was a no brainer as was predicting it’s cancellation. That said it takes both talent and dedication to alienate both the Hancock County Board of Supervisors and the Mayor of the County’s largest City.
In any event, for all the posturing we saw at last night’s meeting, the City Council members that were very critical of the Mayor’s choice of Ms. Lathrop didn’t seem to want to discuss any of the Mayor’s reasons for letting Ms. Thomas go after two years of service and replacing her with Ms. Lathrop. I reckon it was easier to play the race card than to discuss actual issues. Voting against Ms. Lathrop’s appointment were Councilmen Reed and Zimmerman with Councilman Seal attempting to have it both ways.

Krieviņš said there are 57,000 employees in the public sector in Latvia, including firemen, policemen, medical emergency staff, the State Environmental Service and others.
According to the law, 11,000 of them are civil servants, while 3,500 are "mythical bureaucrats" who according to Krieviņš sit around drinking coffee and creating administrative burden.
The State Chancellery is to present a reform roadmap next week or later, reviewing possible reductions in public administration functions.
Krieviņš said that for Latvia to reach the average EU level in public administration, it should fire about 8,000 to 10,000 state-sector employees.
He also used the interview to complain about low wages in the public sector. At the moment, said Krieviņš, low wages are "one of the reasons why it's difficult to attract and retain good people to work in state administration."
Krieviņš said that currently wages for demanding state sector jobs are 50% to 65% lower than in the private sector. He proposes raising these to 80% of the average private sector pay.
