When I was getting ready to leave, I had the hardest time getting it all together. Going away on long trips is tricky. Not just because of the clothes and creature comforts, but the yarn situation. This being my life, I am travelling some superlatively yarny places, and if there was truly a shortage of yarn I could indeed buy as I go, but that always involves also buying tools, or packing a million needles, or not being teaching while the market is open, and space is at a premium this go round. I have one large suitcase for all my teaching stuff, and then all my personal things (for two weeks!) fit into a single carry on. I though it over, I tried to get realistic, and managed to fight off the way that I usually pack yarn. Usually, I pack not like I’m travelling across the country, but to an different dimension, where time, space and knitting work differently. Usually I pack like:
a) I am going to have more time to knit while I am working than I do when I am at home. (This, is lunatic. There is no knitting during a teaching day. There is talking about knitting, and looking at knitting and discussing knitting, and all the students knit, but I – do not.)
b) Like if I do knit, I will suddenly an miraculously knit faster than I ever have before, thus requiring massive amounts of yarn that I should have on my person. Example: I can knit about a sock a day. Three balls of sock yarn with me on a plane is not “insurance” or “optimistic.” It’s delusional. Even if my flight were delayed, I would not be delayed for six days.
c) Like I have tons of free time – because I’m not at home. This too, is completely bananapants. Today’s a great example. I got up at 5:30, had a bath, organized my teaching stuff, then sat down and did Bike Rally emails, and started this blog post, and now I’ll go teach from 8:30 til 4:30, and then there’s a booksigning from 5-7 (you should come. Say hi.) and then a quick dinner, and then it’s bedtime. How do I think that’s got a ton of spare time in it? At home I’d at least be knitting before and after work, but when I’m on the road I’m doing my regular job before and after work. This does not up the yarn requirements.
All of these things together, usually mean that I’ve put a small yarn store into my suitcase by the time I leave for a trip. Way, way, way more than I need – and this time I was determined not to freak out and over-pack. So, I packed:
1. A pair of half finished socks.
2. Two balls of yarn for a toddler sized sweater.
3. Two balls of sock yarn.
I am two days into my trip, and I think I have a problem. The pair of half finished socks became socks on the way here. The first ball of sock yarn is 1/4 the way done, the two balls for a sweater are cast on and going. I have one ball untouched, and 12 days to go,
I, am rather possibly, underyarned. I swung too far the other way. There’s not enough yarn on that hotel room bed to see me through, and I can see that now.
I’ll take a swing through the marketplace tomorrow at the The Dalles Fiber Festival Marketplace, and see if things are better. Right now? Me vs 14 days? I’m seriously underyarned. I went way too far the other way. I need 500m of a man coloured sock yarn, and rather possibly, a bottle of wine. We’ll see what gets solved in the marketplace tomorrow.

Twinlab Na-PCA Hydrating Spritz -- 8 fl oz
They Ruined It!
We've used this spray for years, and loved it because it was non-greasy and had virtually no smell. Now they seem to have added eucalyptus oil. If you use it now you smell like you're wearing BenGay. They ruined it, and I wasted my money on two bottles.
September 14, 2014
Noticeable Difference for Skin & Hair
I use this product on my face after washing & before moisturizing. It definitely seems to counteract dryness & helps reduce the look of fine lines. I also spray it on my hair to give it moisture, which enhances its natural waves & curls. It's especially good when our climate is dry & my hair tends to get dry & straight.
May 12, 2014
Better and better
This product has exceptional benefit when used over time. It goes on non-greasy, non-oily. It is absorbes nicely into the skin. Skin becomes better able to hold onto moisture after regular use.
March 12, 2014
My husband and I both use Twinlab Na-PCA Hydrating Spritz to moisturize our skin and relieve the dry itchy feeling Arizonians are plagued with during the winter months and also in the summer months when air conditioners are running most of the time. We usually spray it on right after a shower.
February 13, 2014
Won't tell you how long I've used this product
You know how seductive skin care ads are; they promises the sun, moon and stars if we'll just use their product. And I've succumbed and tried various creams over the years. BUT nothing has ever supplanted Twinlab Na-PCA as part of my core skin care routine. No matter what I'm using to clean my skin or what cream or lotion goes on afterwards, I ALWAYS spray Na-PCA my face after cleaning it.
If my hands are particularly dry or I've been using a strong soap or cleaner around the house I also spray it on my hands before applying cream.
There just is no other product that I know of that hydrates skin like Na-PCA does. Does this look the like the skin of a senior citizen?

The conflict in the middle east goes backÂ decades. Is it religion, or land, or colonialism that started all this? And why is no end in sight? DANA DA SILVA rounds up ten videos that will help you (and Mmusi Maimane) understand just what is going on in Palestine.
1. Where exactly is Palestine?
You wonâ€™t find Palestine by looking for it on a map, since it only holds the status of “observer state” at the United Nations. To explain why,Â you need to go back to 1917. At the time, Britain captured an Arab-majority region called Palestine from the Ottoman Empire. They wrote the Balfour declaration, which encouraged European Jews to join the Jewish minority that already lived there.
In 1947, after the end of World War 2 and a mass exodus of Jews to Palestine, the UN proposed a plan for both a Jewish state and for an Arab-Palestinian state to be formed, but this never happened. War broke out between the Arabs and Jews. By 1948, the British had left and the state of Israel was created. As a result of the war more than 700, 000 Palestinians became refugees and were forcibly moved to the West Bank, Gaza and beyond.
2. Is Palestine also the birthplace of Christianity?
Yes, it is, and today Palestine still has Christians. Just last year, Pope Francis declaredÂ two Palestinian nuns as saints. The numbers of Palestinian Christians have dwindled though, for example in 1947 Bethlehemâ€™s Christian population was 85% and in 2015 it was less than 20%. The reason for this is Israelâ€™s occupation, which has created daily hardships for all Palestinians. In Bethlehem, the city where Jesus was born, Israel has imposed 32 checkpoints, roadblocks, dirt mounds and gates that limit movement. On top of that, Palestinian Christians and Muslims have been denied access to worship at their holy sites.
3. What about the wall?
In 1967, Israel occupied the West bank. Today, the wall is the most imposing part of the occupation and is actually illegal according to the International Court of Justice . The Israeli government says that the â€œseparation barrierâ€ is to keep out Palestinian attackers. But thousands of Palestinians still have to cross every day looking for work. Since it started going up in the early 2000s it has destroyed neighbourhoods, strangled the economy and illegally grabbed more land. Palestinians call it the Apartheid Wall.
4. What are Israeli settlements?
Israeli settlements are residential areas built by Israel on occupied Palestinian land for Jewish communities, but are illegal under international lawÂ The vast stretches of suburbs are a violation of the Geneva Convention according to the UN. The Fourth Geneva convention forbids states from transferring their citizens to occupied land, which Israel has been doing since it occupied the West Bank in 1967. By building these illegal settlements, Israel is trying to make sure that it keeps possession of that land even under a future peace deal. Israeli settlers are bound by Israeli civil law while Palestinians who stay there live under Israeli military rule, meaning that they are subject to checkpoints, curfews, and detention, among other limitations.
5. How is Life in Gaza, if itâ€™s this bad in the West Bank?
Gaza has a population of more than 1.7 million. This tiny piece of land is one of the most densely populated in the world and one of the worst places to live. Itâ€™s been called the worldâ€™s largest open-air prison. Gaza has been home to a majority refugee population since 1948, when Israel declared its statehood and forced thousands of Palestinians out of their homes.
ALSO READ: Gazaâ€™s senior citizens describe their most treasured memories
For decades, Israel has controlled Gaza by air, land and sea, regulating what goes in and what goes out. Israelâ€™s blockade of Gaza, which makes life unbearable, has been condemned by the UN as a violation of international law.
6. What exactly is BDS?
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement works to get individuals and institutions to withdraw their money and support from Israel. The goal is to pressure Israel to end the illegal occupation, settlement building and attacks on Palestinians. This also means boycotting companies that are linked to the occupation of Palestinian land, such as McDonaldâ€™s, Victoria Secret and Soda Stream (Scarlett Johansson even left Oxfam to endorse the bubbly water).
7. Why does Israel keep doing what it wants?
One of the theories is that Israel has friends in high places. They have a special relationship with the United States, so much so that Israel gets more than half of all US foreign aid – a total of over $121 billion. Unlike US aid to other countries, money to Israel is mainly given to its military: for the security of Israel, preventing a â€œnuclearâ€ Iran and ending the Israeli-Palestine conflict. With theÂ help of the USA, Israel has one of the most advanced militaries and is one of the top ten arms dealers in the world.
8. What is Israel trying to achieve in Gaza?
This narrative is one that has changed quite a few times. In 2014, it was about the three Israeli teens that were kidnapped and killed in 2014. Israelâ€™s president Netanyahu immediately blamed Hamas, but it was later confirmed by Israeli officials that they were carried out by a lone cell not operating under Hamasâ€™s leadership.
After the kidnappings, Israel heavily cracked down on the West Bank with raids and arrests. Hamas responded by firing rockets into Israel. Israel says that 2, 825 rockets were fired from Gaza. After the kidnappings and the rocket attacks, Israel now says the operation is about the tunnels. Israel launched a ground invasion into Gaza in 2014 to destroy what it says is a network of tunnels used by Hamas. Palestinians say they have used the tunnels to smuggle in supplies that have been banned from entering the Gaza strip. Israel has known about them for years, but now it says it wonâ€™t end its offensive until all the tunnels are destroyed.
9. Who is Hamas?
Hamas is a political movement and Palestinian armed wing which was first founded in 1987 during the first uprising (intifada) against Israelâ€™s occupation of Palestinian land. It gained support by establishing food banks and other social services. They say they are fighting to regain Palestinian land, but it also advocates for a long-term ceasefire with Israel. When Hamas won parliamentary elections in 2006, Israel intensified its siege because it considers Hamas to be a terrorist organisation.
10.Has Hamas has been doing just as much damage as Israeli forces?
The warfare carried out between Hamas and Israel is asymmetrical, since Israel has an advanced military and Hamas mainly uses homemade rockets. Since 2009, Israeli forces have killed over 600 Palestinians in Gaza and in the West Bank while the number of Israelis killed by Palestinians during that time was just over 40. Unlike Israel, Gaza has no sirens to warn of incoming strikes, no bomb shelters and no “iron dome” missile defence system.
This is part of a special series called Apartheid 2.0, which The Daily Vox is running this month in partnership with Al Jazeeraâ€™s Palestine Remix.

text: Happy Monday. This is my latest oil painting that I finished over the weekend. I'm very happy with how this one turned out. I enjoy painting my blue bottles that I collect, and added a bowl of grapes (from Wet Canvas Ref Library) to the painting. I couldn't figure what to put in the bottle, then a light bulb went off and Chinese Lanterns came to my mind along with Honesty. I actually worked really hard to get the right spacing in here, which I believe I acheived. Next I really am enjoying how all the colors work with each other. I hope all of you enjoy this painting. Thanks for looking and hopefully you will comment. Gallery wrapped Canvas 6"by 6"

There’s a staircase
Start simple. You’re standing on the landing and want to reach the first step, #1. There’s just one
way to do it—take one step up.
Now let N = 2. There are two ways to get to the second step. Either you take two single steps in
succession or you take one double step.
This is practically all you need to solve the problem. To see why, imagine your goal is step #3.
For the first time, you can’t get there in a single bound. It’s got to be a combination of steps. But there are only two ways of arriving at step #3—either by taking a single step (from step #2) or by taking a double step (from step #1). We already know that there is only one way to get from the landing to step #1. We also know that there are only two ways to get from the landing to step #2. Add these (1 + 2 = 3) to get the number of ways to arrive at step #3.
The same logic applies to every higher step. There are two ways to get to step #4, from step #2 or from step #3. Add the number of ways of getting to step #2 (2) to the number of ways of getting to step #3 (3). That gives 5, the number of ways of getting to step #4.
It’s easy to continue the series. The number of ways to climb quickly snowballs, looking like this:
For anyone with a math background, the lower series will look familiar. It’s the Fibonacci
sequence. (More on that in a moment.) The interviewer wants an answer for the general case of N stairs. It’s simply the Nth Fibonacci number.
Leonardo Fibonacci, also known as Leonardo Pisano, was the most influential Italian mathematician of the late Middle Ages. It was Fibonacci who realized the incredible superiority of the Arab-Hindu system of numeration, with its place notation, over the roman numerals still used in medieval Europe. With the Arab-Hindu system, multiplication and division could be reduced to an algorithm (another Arab word). With roman numerals, these operations were impractically hard.
Merchants had to seek out expensive experts to perform calculations on an abacus. In 1202, Fibonacci wrote a guide to the abacus, Liber abaci, in which he pitches “Arabic” numerals to what must have been a skeptical audience. The book also describes what we now call the Fibonacci sequence.
Fibonacci didn’t invent it; the sequence was known to sixth-century Indian scholars.
Start by writing 1, then another 1 after it. Add them to get the sum (2) and append that sum to the series.
1 1 2
To generate each new number, just add the last two numbers in the series. The series becomes:
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144…
Conspiracy theorists will find that the Fibonacci series turns up in all sorts of unexpected places.
Want to convert between miles and kilometers? Use adjacent Fibonacci numbers (55 miles per hour = 89 kilometers per hour). The next time you’ve got too much time on your hands, count the little fruitlets making up a pineapple. You’ll find that they form two intersecting sets of helices running in opposite directions. One set has eight helices; the other, thirteen.
Both are Fibonacci numbers. Similar patterns are seen with pinecones, sunflowers, and artichokes. Coincidence? Not likely, nor is the fact that the Fibonacci sequence turns up in The Da Vinci Code (it’s a combination to a safe)—and in this interview question, used at an information company bent on world domination.

The relatively recent evolution of technology allowing the extraction of hydrocarbon oil and gas from unconventional resources such as tight sands and shales has resulted in a significant increase in reserves and associated production especially onshore in the United States .
The availability of infrastructure to handle bringing such hydrocarbons to market has lagged the exploitation and development of the unconventional resources. To this extent, operating companies have looked towards the conversion of existing primarily single phase systems to cope with the transport of second and occasionally third fluid phases.
The present paper discusses a recent study undertaken for a major US onshore operator wherein the feasibility of conversion is assessed in light of the requirement to handle not insignificant quantities of liquids in a complex pipeline system originally designed to handle predominantly single phase gas.
The paper will review analyses performed to quantify the amount and location of liquid hold-up as well as the operational approach to handling such quantities of liquid.
The deployment of hydrocarbon transportation infrastructure in the form of pipelines is a capital intensive undertaking and may be justified but once in the process of new venture approval. The redeployment of such infrastructure is, therefore attractive when considering additional ventures given that the capital costs would have probably already been amortized. One such redeployment is the conversion of pipeline systems originally designed to transport gas to ones that can transport liquids, and, indeed, multiphase fluids.

I have to measure a certain current flowing through two 14V DC motors that are in parallel (identical ones). I know that depending on load and speed they can consume up to 20amps. My multimeter only goes up to 10 amp. How can I safely measure current under different scenarios (different speeds and loads/torques)?
Even better, is there a circuit that is easy to build that will allow me to log current consumption over time?
I don't know why, but I always had in mind that resistance should be a constant value. Isn't that true?
Well, if I'm mistaken in thinking that, then I suppose my calculations above are correct, right? And if so I still have two questions:
1-Is it save to measure voltage across the resistor even with very high amperages? (my instincts say yes, because the voltmeter would be in parallel, right? but I had to ask either way... better safe than with a damaged multimeter)
2-If I want to measure up to 50A with a current sensing resistor, then voltage across resistor would be 5V right? If so, don't I need a 250W!!! resistor? The maximum I found on mouser was a 0.1 Ohms - 5W... how's that?
When you're starting to measure currents this high a field sensor is probably better. Harder to make yourself, but if you're not going for extreme accuracy, works okay.
Basically you take one of the leads to the motor and wrap it around a torroid a few times. Stick a linear Hall effect sensor in the middle, and read that. For some sensors I did I cut out a small segment of the torroid and placed the Hall effect sensor in the gap. The more turns of the motor lead around the torroid, the higher the reading you'll get, but avoid lots of turns, or you'll just make yourself an extra inductor in your robot.
For my robot sensorial package, I just ordered an IC that I believe does exactly what you described (Allegra ACS750). But I wanted to take some measurements of my motor in order to dimension batteries. I guess I'll wait for the IC to arrive, as I don't have any resistor smaller than 5 ohms at home.
A clamp on amp meter might be one solution. If you have a digital multimeter and can actually measure a resistance value in one of the leads going between the battery and the motor, then you might could use it as the resistor in the E=IR formula. Connect the multimeter to the two points (no motor power applied) and measure the resistance at the lowest resistance setting. Then switch the meter to the lowest voltage setting and read the voltage across the section of wire. I haven't tried it, but might be worth looking into prior to adding extra gizmos in the circuit.. A simple data logger like below might do the data logging.
Not quite. A permanent magnet DC motor acts as a generator when it is spinning. You can see this by putting your voltmeter across it and spinning it by hand with no other power applied. When the motor is running off a constant DC voltage at a constant load, the generator action opposes the voltage supplied by your power source. The current flowing is the result of (your power supply voltage - the generated voltage) divided by the circuit resistance. As you increase the mechanical load, you slow down the motor. The reduced RPM generates less opposing voltage and so more current flows through your constant resistance. The "official" name for this phenomenon is "back EMF".
No, let's not forget that a d.c. motor acts as a generator and when allowed to spin, will generate a 'back-emf' voltage in series with this. This voltage (Eb) is proportional to the RPM (Eb= Kb*omega). Incidentally, if Kb is measured in volts.sec/rad then it can be shown to be equal to the torque constant Kt if measured in Nm/A (torque is proportional to current). So the total voltage is I*(Rm+Rsense) +Eb where Rm is the motor internal resistance. Rm and Rsense should stay pretty constant. You can measure Eb by measuring the generated voltage vs rpm. You could also measure Rm with an ohmmeter across the stationary motor if you are careful with flaky contact resistance.
Actually probably better there are no loops in the lead wires to your motor. It's best to minimize those. And with this "Allegra" it can help your robot overcome its allergies in addition to sensing current!
If all you're needing is to do a correlative test and are not looking for current sensing during run time, you can always operate the motor at a lower voltage and do your tests with more reasonably sized resistors. You can then factor the actual operating current at whatever voltage you'll be using.
Right, left the extra "0" out. Use 0.005 ohms. Also, for "practical" purposes, like in a robot, it probably doesn't matter a lot whether you use 1% or 3% or 5%. For a precision instrument, it will matter.
Not to disagree will Gordon at all, but I wanted to add that there are sensors that work similar to Hall Effect devices but are more sensitive. I use to work for a company as an applications engineer and since I was the only one who knew anything about electronics, I ended up in charge of all tech. support calls and design related to our piston position sensors. There is a type of device known as "magnetoresistive" and a newer device known as "giant magnetoresistive." These devices can respond to magnetic fields much lower that Hall Effect sensors, typically about 30 gauss over a distance of about 1/2 inch or less. Google "magnetoresistive" if you are interested.
Could these be implemented for current sensing, without being influenced too much by nearby fields (motors, metal frame, etc)? Would the Philips KMZ51, used in some electronic compass products, be of this ilk?
I've had no experience in using magnetoresistive devices as current sensors. However, since these devices are more sensitive to magnetic fields, then they would, of course, be more sensitive to magnetic fields produced by motors and other devices. Like all magnetic sensors, they can also be influenced by nearby magnetic conductive metals. In our case, the advantage of magnetoresistive devices and associated circuitry is that they can triggered by smaller magnets, an important consideration in the design of pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders to avoid a piston magnet ring too thick with a longer trigger zone and a longer cylinder per stroke travel. For the subject of this thread, I suspect that a Hall Effect device would be better, but a magnetoresistive device might be useful in some applications. Experimentation would, of course, be required.
I'm not familiar with the KZ51, but I did find info at:
Thanks everybody for all the illustrative answers. I really learned something new from all of this.
What I ended up doing was using an allegro acs750 to measure current and a couple (2) resistors set up as a voltage divider to measure voltage. Get these two values and sample it using the PIC adc to convert to some readable value.
Now I'm wondering, how can I estimate how much energy is left on a battery package? I know it is possible, because my handcam does it. Is is purely a function of voltage?
It varies with the battery chemistry. Alkalines for example have a steadily declining voltage as remaining capacity goes down, so you can get a fair indication of capacity from the voltage under load. Unfortunately most common rechargeable (NiMH, NiCad, Li-Ion) don't have the same convenient property. A NiMH for example will stay close to 1.2 volts till around 90% of its capacity is gone, then you get a pretty rapid decrease in voltage.
You can tell when a battery is almost empty by measuring the voltage and indeed you should to avoid over-discharging batteries, which can shorten their lives or even cause a fire in extreme circumstances (the big, unprotected, high-discharge Lithium battery packs used in RC flying can go up quite spectacularly).
You can also tell when a battery is fully charged /while it's being charged/ by measuring the voltage, peak-detect charging is one example
- used for NiCad and NiMH cells (but not Lithium!).
But back to your question, 'smart' battery chargers measure the current going in and out. If you start with a fully charged 700mAh cell and you've been drawing 300mA for an hour you have 400mAh left. On batteries for laptops, phones and camcorders the circuitry to do this is often in the battery itself. In other words, they don't actually measure the remaining capacity, they estimate it based on known parameters and the current going in and out. It's not easy to get it exactly right (I've missed out a lot of the complexities) and you need a periodic full charge/discharge cycle to keep the electronics in synch with the real battery.
I get by with a low battery alarm based on the voltage and know roughly how long my 'bot will go without a recharge from experience.

Anberlin recently hit the road for their acoustic tour taking along my favorite Seattle band, Campfire OK and LA locals Stars in Stereo. They stopped by the famous Roxy in West Hollywood for a sold out night of way too many feels and free beer. Yes, that’s right free beer… well, sorta. You had to have been lucky enough to catch the promoter by the bar and you had to let him take a picture of how much fun you were having. I know it sounds weird but it was pretty alright.
By the time I walked into the venue the crowd was already densely packed at the stage and Campfire OK had began to play. I was stoked to see so many folks in the crowd actually paying attention. Although it’s a bit hard to divert your attention elsewhere -this band plays incredible music and puts on a hell of a show. You DO NOT want to sleep on Campfire OK. If you’re so inclined you can (and should) check out some of their latest tracks here. Also, get excited because their second album is coming very very soon.
After Campfire OK’s set is when I began lollygagging by the bar. My attention faded in and out of Stars in Stereo’s set just from being involved in conversations but they played an incredible acoustic cover of NIN’s “Closer.”
Anberlin is brilliant live and even the most casual fan is familiar with the greatness that is an Anberlin acoustic song. They started the set off with “Take Me (As You Found Me)” and then played other crowd favorites like “Inevitable,” “Unwinding Cable Car,” “Dismantle. Repair” and “Paperthin Hymn” among others. The guys of Anberlin played excellently and they even had some extra help on piano from Mychal Cohen of Campfire Ok. The Roxy is one of the smaller venues in West Hollywood but it allowed for a very intimate show. Fans got the opportunity to ask questions and engage in banter which is slightly harder in bigger venues like the ones the band played on their last tour. Frontman Stephen Christian even took the time to thank the crowd for being so awesome, “LA gets a bad rap because you guys get like 100 shows every night but whenever we come back it’s so much better than the last and if I could cancel the rest of the tour and just keep playing Los Angeles I would.” SO MANY FEELS.
Rant: I don’t know if anyone else goes through this but each time I’ve seen Anberlin live there’s this part of me that whole-heartedly expects Aaron Marsh to come out and sing on “Inevitable.” I feel like it’s completely hopeless but I can’t help it. I am still so jealous of those in FL who got to see Aaron Marsh play his own acoustic set. I would have spent the whole in a nice balance of crying and singing my lungs out. Welp.

Sónar on Tour featuring Die Antwoord, Azari & III, Tiga
Sound Academy, Toronto, ON, November 1
While organizers have expanded to host events in Brazil, South Africa and Tokyo, this year the festival decided to launch an eight-date North American fall tour, with the goal of "challenging and expanding what dance music can be." A daunting prospect perhaps, when you consider EDM's stranglehold on the Canadian and U.S. concert industry, but the packed crowd at Toronto's Sound Academy proved there's an audience that appreciates a wider spectrum of dance music.
No group exemplifies Sónar's "try anything" spirit than South Africa "rap-rave" oddballs Die Antwoord. Despite being on a lineup that consisted mostly of DJs, based on the number of people wearing the group's "ZEF" shirts and girls dressed as female vocalist Yo-Landi Vi$$er, it was clear who the majority of the crowd were there to see.
While they're known for their outlandish lyrics and sometime controversial YouTube videos — a recent clip for their song "Fatty Boom Boom" featuring a male Lady Gaga impersonator drew the pop star's rage — the trio (DJ Hi-Tek, male vocalist Ninja and Vi$$er) seemed more interested in starting a party than getting political. This seemed to suit the room just fine, as the band delivered a high-energy set that ended with fan favourites "I Fink U Freeky" and "Enter the Ninja."
Late set times and the venue being divided into two rooms resulted in a slightly thinner crowd for the tour's Canadian representatives, Montreal-born DJ/producer Tiga and Toronto's Azari & III (whose debut album was finally released in North America last week), but they still managed to show off why they're more than capable of representing the country on the international stage. Bolstered by the dance moves of vocalists Fritz Helder and Starving Yet Full (aka Cedric Gasaida), the latter provided a much welcome second wind, as the crowd danced to the group's combination of techno, new wave, funk and pop into the early hours of the morning.
The rest of the night was bookended with sets from Seth Troxler, Paul Kalkbrenner, Gesaffelstein and Nic Fanciulli, and while they might not have been household names to everybody, they represented the Sónar organizers' commitment to musical diversity from underground house to minimalist techno.
While only time will tell if this North American tour becomes a yearly tradition, the inaugural edition suggests the support for such a carefully curated event is present and enthusiastic.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Rap star “Fat Joe” faces up to two years in prison after pleading guilty Thursday to failing to pay taxes on nearly $3 million in income over two years.
The performer, whose real name is Joseph Cartagena, entered the plea in federal court in New Jersey because some of the companies he earns money from are incorporated there.
The 42-year-old Miami Beach, Fla., resident entered pleas to two counts covering years 2007 and 2008 but his sentencing will take into consideration the government’s initial allegation that he failed to pay income taxes for years 2007 through 2010. Federal prosecutors said the total tax loss to the government for those four years was $718,038.
Cartagena lawyer Jeffrey Lichtman said his client “had already taken steps to resolve this situation” before he was charged. He said the rapper hoped to pay back the taxes by the time of his sentencing April 3.

Anne-Laure de Chammard has been appointed Director of Strategy for the ENGIE group, effective October 1st 2019. Anne-Laure will take over from Antoine de La Faire, who has been appointed CEO of ENGIE Solar.
She will report to Shankar Krishnamoorthy, Executive Vice President in charge of Strategy & Innovation, Industrial Development, Research & Technology, Procurement and of the supervision of the Business Unit Africa.
Previously, she served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Bureau Veritas Construction, a subsidiary of the Bureau Veritas group, and was a member of the French Government’s High Council on Construction and Energy Efficiency.
Anne-Laure de Chammard graduated from the Ecole Polytechnique and the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées. She also holds a Master’s degree in Public Policy from the Harvard Kennedy School.
Anne-Laure started her career in the USA in 2008, as a strategy consultant with the Boston Consulting Group. She then joined the French Ministry of Sustainable Development and Energy in 2010, where she was in charge of awarding and supervising major infrastructure contracts (motorways, high-speed railways, etc.) within the framework of public-private partnerships. She joined the Bureau Veritas Group in 2014 as Regional Manager for Burgundy Picardy Champagne-Ardenne (France), before being appointed President and CEO of Bureau Veritas Construction in 2016.
Anne-Laure also sits on the Supervisory Board of Marseille – Provence Airport.
ENGIE expands its decentralized energy offering in Africa through the acquisition of Mobisol, a pioneer of off-grid solar solutions. Mobisol has operations in Tanzania, Rwanda, and Kenya and has installed more than 150,000 solar home systems, providing clean and reliable energy to over 750,000 people in Sub-Saharan Africa.
With the acquisition of Mobisol, ENGIE will be offering solar home systems in 3 additional countries, complementing the six countries where it is already present with its solar home system company Fenix International. Mobisol’s focus on productive use products, combined with Fenix’s inclusive home solar power systems, will enable ENGIE to offer an unparalleled range of affordable energy products as well as extending its customer base from rural to urban areas. The closing of the acquisition of Mobisol will happen once all approvals of the relevant regulatory bodies are received.
ENGIE already has significant activities in off-grid electrification in Africa. With its subsidiary Fenix International, it provides access to energy and financial services via its solar home systems to over 500,000 customers, improving the quality of life for over 2.5 million people in Uganda, Zambia, Nigeria, Benin, Cote d’Ivoire and Mozambique. Additionally, with ENGIE PowerCorner, it supplies affordable electricity to rural populations through smart mini-grids powered by solar energy and battery storage. PowerCorner offers 24/7 energy services to households, local businesses and public services in villages across Tanzania and Zambia. All of these services are enabled by digital financial solutions such as mobile money and Pay As You Go technologies.
Isabelle Kocher, ENGIE CEO declared: “With the acquisition of Mobisol, ENGIE expands its access to a market of millions who are not connected to the grid and establishes itself as the market leader on the continent. Not only do we change people’s lives with clean energy but we trigger economic activities for households and entrepreneurs who generate additional income once they are connected. With ENGIE Power Corner, Fenix, and now Mobisol, we will pave the way for a new generation of affordable energy services, in line with our strategy focused on the acceleration of the zero-carbon transition.”
Universal electrification is the 7th of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that the global community has committed to achieve by 2030. Currently more than 600 million people have no access to electricity in Africa and by 2030 the continent is expected to be home to 80 percent of the world’s off-grid population, according to the International Energy Agency.
On Wednesday 28 August, ENGIE placed a EUR 750 million zero-coupon senior bond issue of 7.5 years duration. This is the lowest coupon ever for a corporate issuer on such a long duration.
Despite a highly active bond market, the order book proved extremely diversified and very solid, meaning that the conditions could be significantly tightened. At a time when the financial environment continues to be characterised by macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, ENGIE’s credit profile played a key role in the success of this transaction.
Judith Hartmann, ENGIE Executive Vice President and CFO said: “ENGIE’s balance sheet is solid and our strategy is paying off. Investors trust us, which allows us to improve our financing costs and contribute effectively to our development goals.”
<meta name="twitter:title" content="ENGIE borrows EUR 750 million at 0%
over 7 ½ years” />
These low-carbon solutions will be delivered under the ISO 20121 certification that the French government is seeking to obtain for this event.
ENGIE and the ENGIE Foundation will be lending their support to the first eco-friendly G7 summit via a donation in kind and the provision of skills-based sponsorship, installing energy solutions in a bid to have France’s presidency of the G7 summit ISO 20121-certified (“Event sustainability management system”), as well as certified “Egalité Grand Evénement” by AFNOR (France’s standardisation association).
ENGIE is naturally involving itself in this summit which prioritises initiatives to tackle inequality at local level – values that are central to its commitments. To do this, ENGIE is leveraging the expertise of its local entities (the Société hydraulique du midi which manages 12 hydraulic dams) and local partners (Biarritz-based company Pragma).
ENGIE is accustomed to partnering major eco-friendly events and provides green energy and low-environmental impact solutions as part of an approach based on harmonious progress.
Energy solutions involving renewables have been deployed for the event :
- Installation of a French solar field to power the electric tram buses used by journalists and the IRATY press centre (1300 m2 of panels over a 3000 m2 surface area) near the accreditation hall
- ENGIE totem with solar panels so people can charge their phones: this way, 3000 journalists will be able to enjoy free Wi-Fi and charge their mobile phones
- Micro off-grid solar power production installations for Wi-Fi access and for recharging mobile phones
- 12 French generators powered by rapeseed oil
ENGIE will also provide the accredited journalists attending the summit with 200 hydrogen-powered bikes built by Biarritz-based company Pragma Industries to help them get around across the various areas making up the event. This soft mobility project is supported by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region and the Basque Country Agglomeration Community (CAPB).
“We are entering a new era, in which companies will be judged by their overall impact on society and the environment. Consumers, investors and employees all have new expectations. By offering competitive low-carbon and bespoke solutions, ENGIE is supporting companies, local authorities and major events in this new era of responsibility“, said Isabelle Kocher, ENGIE’s CEO and President of the ENGIE Foundation.

Unity in most marriages is broken because many couples today enter the system with high expectations. When these expectations are not met or seen in the union, it gives birth to disappointment and frustration in the marriage.
After God made man, He saw a need in a man. God performed the most remarkable surgery by causing a deep sleep on Adam, and He made a woman from him. The need for a companion and helper for man became a reality. And God automatically wheeled strength and authority to the man as the head of the family.
We all have distinct identities, purposes, callings, and talents as individuals, and marriage is not to rip us off what identifies us.
Healthy marriages are those in which both parties maintain separate identities and purposes as they unite under the shared purpose of fulfilling the dominion rule of God in and through their partnership.
Unfortunately, many have changed God’s marriage narrative and gone with their ideology, tradition, and culture.
Many marriage books and seminars are written and organised by marriage coaches, and every book and seminar is uniquely different.
Do you know why?
You can never have the same marriage anywhere. Every marriage is unique.
When you try to copy another by implementing everything you read or were told to do without understanding and appreciating your spouse’s individuality, the outcome will surely be a disunited team.
Every girl who enjoyed or still enjoying her father’s love, care, support and protection constantly desires to marry someone like her Dad.
Oh yeah! I was in that category. I will always tell my Dad and Mum that I want to marry someone like him. It even became my prayer point during my single days.
Praise God! He gave me the complete package I so prayed for and even more. But the truth remains I was my father’s daughter and not his wife, so I never knew the areas of help my mom rendered to him and also the companionship they both enjoyed.
Being married to my husband, the wisdom, ideas, counsels, techniques, etc., used by my mum in her marriage, none may be played by me in my marriage. My father and my husband are both unique, with different assignments, purposes, talents, callings, ideas, plans, upbringing, etc., and their life experiences are also different.
Comparing my dad and my husband will be outright foolishness on my path. It behoves me to know my responsibilities to him as his companion and helper.
You can only know and play your responsibilities well as a spouse through understanding, humility, and prayer.
This applies to every Godly marriage that seeks to enjoy marital bliss.
You will struggle in your marriage without understanding, humility, and dependence on God.
- Understanding your spouse is an important ingredient in marriage. You cannot understand who you aren’t patient with, so you must be patient. Understanding creates an atmosphere of love, trust, and freedom through which couples can fulfil their purpose. Dreams can be realised, purpose can be fulfilled, and talents can be utilised within the boundaries of marriage.
- No blissful marriage has ever succeeded or will succeed without humility. Humility is sacrificing your desires, interest, time, attention, etc.
Indeed, pride has been the downfall of many, and marriages are not left out. Marriages have been wrecked because of the lack of humility. Accepting wrongs and apologising is a hard nut to crack for most couples.
Proud couples ruin not only their marriage but their lives too.
- No one knows and understands your spouse and you better than God. He has the individual key to everyone.
Most broken marriages today should have been saved if only the spouses ran to report to God more often than they ran to their parents, pastors, psychologists, friends, and mentors.
You must learn to run to God without excuse or delay and be prompt to whatever He will have you do.
God is much more interested in your marriage than you are and is ever willing to give you the unity you seek.
You struggle because you ignore your marriage code.

Argentina and China will sign next 17 May in Beijing a contract for the construction of two new nuclear powered plants, with an investment of US$ 12.5 billion, according to Argentina's Nuclear energy deputy secretary, Julian Gadano.
We still have some details to iron out, but the frame contract will be signed when president Mauricio Macri makes an official visit to China, said Gadano, adding details referred to the financing.
In effect the long term loan for the construction of the two reactors is 20 years plus an additional eight, which will be repaid when the plant begins generating. The interest rate is estimated in the range of 4.5%.
According to the plan, Atucha III, Argentina's fourth nuclear plant will be constructed in the province of Buenos Aires, close to Atucha II and will produce 745 MW. Fuel will be natural uranium and heavy water, with works scheduled to begin in 2018.
Gadano said the whole construction of the project is estimated in seven years costing US$ 6bn. As to the fifth nuclear plant it will have a 1150 MW power and will be fueled with enriched uranium and light water.

The political situation in Pakistan is extremely volatile. Ever since the Panama scandal engulfed politicians, they have forgotten democratic politics, digested their 35-year-old corruption and tried to save their lost reputation and looted national wealth and break through the net of accountability. Are engaged in the struggle.
It is impossible to estimate the extent of damage being done to the people and the country by such measures. Undoubtedly, Imran Khan has been struggling for a long time to get the people out of this quagmire of inflation and poverty and is also holding the corrupt politicians accountable. There is no doubt that the current government is not responsible for the current economic crisis but the incompetent rulers who have been occupying the resources for a long time and have made the country their biggest asset.
Taking up residence in other countries, they committed heinous crimes like money laundering and at the same time, by burdening the country with heavy external debts, they boosted their assets and drowned the country’s economic system.
Forging the value of the rupee against the dollar would beat the drum of economic growth in front of the people. Keep dreaming of making an Asian tiger. The important thing I want to make public is that these two corrupt political parties knew long before Imran Khan’s 126-day long sit-in that power would slip out of their hands because of their nefarious activities. They planned that such economic problems should be created for the incoming new government that it would not be able to cope with this crisis even for a few months and would go bankrupt.
PM Imran’s 100 days agenda
On the other hand, the manifesto given by the PTI was very popular among the people and it was believed that the next government would belong to the PTI. Before Imran Khan came to power, he had no idea of the state of the country’s economy. It was in the ICU and temporarily supported by steroids. Imran promised the people in his election campaign that the economy will change in 100 days and high efficiency. But stepping into power, he realized that the facts were so grim and confusing that 100 days would take a long time to move such an economy in the right direction.
Obviously, avoiding foreign debt installments and further debt was on the government’s agenda at the time. The trap set by the incompetent politicians of the past against Imran Khan’s government was bound to have an effect, causing the rupee to return to its original form and the dollar to soar, creating a storm of inflation for the poor.
At that time, the corrupt rulers of the past were waiting to spread chaos in the country by making noise of government failure and poor enmity. Regardless of the success or failure of Imran Khan’s government, it is as clear as day that Imran Khan Has given political consciousness to the people and has severely damaged the reputation of corrupt politicians by exposing them all over the world.
The people are being punished for the deeds of the rulers of the past
The people are being punished for the deeds of the rulers of the past and are suffering from crises like inflation and unemployment but now they do not want the corrupt politicians of the past to impose on them again and plunder the resources of the country. On the one hand, Imran Khan is active in getting the people out of trouble and on the other hand, all the opposition parties that were at loggerheads with each other yesterday have come together to avoid accountability for their corruption and topple Imran Khan’s government.
The first two major parties, the Nawaz League and the People’s Party, insisted that the national security agencies should somehow get involved in internal and external affairs and achieve their goals. They tried to create problems for the government by forming alliances of Pakistan Democratic Movement. Attempts were made in all the provinces to incite the people to revolt by holding rallies to throw mud at the government and the army and national security agencies, but thankfully they failed.
ISPR’s meaningful statement about Tea
Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the head of the PDM, keeps making such nonsensical statements against the institutions that it seems that his mental health has become doubtful due to the loss of ministry. In response to Maulana’s recent statement against the army, the spokesman of the Pakistan Army ISPR has issued a very beautiful and meaningful statement to Maulana and his followers.
He replied to Maulana, “There is no reason for PDM to come to Rawalpindi. We will give tea and take care of those who come to Rawalpindi. ”Now it is to be seen that after this statement, Maulana and his followers accept the invitation of DG ISPR and go to Rawalpindi to drink tea or wait for an even bigger invitation. I can claim that no matter how well the opposition tries to blackmail the government and institutions using these tactics, there will be no oil and Radha will not dance.
PDM alliance is badly broken
Anyway, the PDM alliance is badly broken. Maulana alone is talking arrogantly against the government and the army, to which the army spokesperson ISPR has invited them to tea party. Now the question arises, how much more does the PDM add to the political arena? How much does it risk national security with its ugly and false politics? How long will the government and institutions remain silent against them? However, by disqualifying such politicians, they should wrap up the ranks of their political platform and put the country on the path of construction and development and lay the foundation of a peaceful and prosperous Pakistan.

The RUWASS (Reform of the Urban Water and Sanitation Sector) programme was established in 2002 to support the Government of Uganda’s urban water and sanitation sector reforms. It is a project jointly implemented by the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) and GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit, formerly GTZ – German Technical Cooperation).
Although the Government of Uganda has achieved many improvements in the framework of its sector reform such as greater water and sanitation coverage, increased service reliability, stronger performances in billing and revenue collection, much remains to be accomplished.
The country’s efforts with regard to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for water and sanitation are enshrined in the National Development Plan (2010/22011 – 2014/2015) and are directed towards attaining urban water coverage of 100% and national sanitation coverage of 77% by 2015. Due to its great progress in the urban setting thus far, the Government of Uganda was able to revise its original urban sanitation coverage target up to 100%. This means the whole of Uganda’s urban population is to have access to safe drinking water and hygienic sanitation facilities by 2015.
However, current water supply and sanitation rates have still not reached the desired level. Despite progress made over the previous decade, average urban water coverage currently stands at 67%, with 74% in large towns and a below national average of merely 51% in all small towns combined. The reform not only seeks to lower such discrepancies, but aims at providing the growing urban population with a more equitable and sustainable access to safe drinking water supply and sanitation.
Low access rates, an overall poor infrastructure and increasing pollution of fresh water sources, a steadily rising population growth rate, continuous rural-urban migration, and the repatriation of formerly Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in Northern Uganda are key challenges the sector is facing. GIZ RUWASS seeks to address the existing discrepancies between the North and the South of the country by focusing on Northern Uganda.
It is in particular the urban poor residing in low-income areas and informal settlements, who oftentimes have only rudimentary access to water supply and sanitation facilities and, thus, tend to be affected by water-induced diseases and overall ill healthmore frequently.
The primary challenges the MWE, which has the lead in Uganda’s water sector and in matters pertaining to public sanitation facilities, needs to address the prevalent lack of institutional, regulatory, and management capacities. Furthermore, the sector is facing challenges in management, governance problems, and limited financing.
In addition to that, expected climate change impacts such as more extreme weather events and a rise in temperature lower the chances of maintaining the status quo in Uganda’s water and sanitation sector. RUWASS considers it an imperative to also address adaptation to climate change in the framework of the water and sanitation sector reform.
Thus, GIZ supports the MWE in its endeavour of developing the urban sub-sector into an efficient, sustainable system providing affordable services the poor population can also benefit from, and which is characterised by sound governance, a well-functioning investment management, and cost efficiency in service delivery.

The Trump administration has quietly stopped its controversial practice of holding migrant children in hotels before expelling them from the southern border, though it says these minors can still be quickly removed from U.S. soil under emergency coronavirus restrictions.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has not held migrant minors in border-area hotels since September 11, an agency spokesperson told CBS News on Thursday. The confirmation of the previously undisclosed policy shift follows a court declaration, signed on September 17, in which ICE official Mellissa Harper said the number of migrant minors who were awaiting expulsion at a hotel had dwindled to zero.
Despite this shift, unaccompanied children and families with minors who cross or arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border without documents — just like single adults — can still be expelled from the country under a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) directive issued in March, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesperson Matthew Dyman told CBS News on Thursday.
“The CDC order allows for everyone to be amenable to expulsion,” Dyman said. “Anyone can be infected with COVID.”
Taylor Levy, an independent immigration attorney in El Paso, said she continues to receive cases of unaccompanied children whom border officials seek to expel. On Thursday, Levy said she helped halt the expulsions of two Central American teenagers who are now going to be allowed to stay in the U.S. while their immigration cases are adjudicated.
“The true problem here is not the hotels, it’s the expulsions,” Taylor told CBS News. “Just because DHS has stopped using hotels does not mean that children are not being expeditiously expelled without any due process, without any chance to seek asylum.”
It is unclear why exactly U.S. immigration officials closed, at least temporarily, their unprecedented border hotel detention system for migrant children, which was overseen by personnel from MVM, an ICE contractor. ICE did not provide an explanation or say whether it would resume its use of hotels, saying in a statement it could not provide further comment due to ongoing litigation.
“Any temporary housing of minors will comply with all legal requirements,” an ICE spokesperson said.
On September 4, Judge Dolly Gee of the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles ordered the Trump administration to stop holding migrant children in hotels, absent limited three-day stays, finding that the makeshift detention system violated the Flores Settlement Agreement, which stipulates that undocumented minors in U.S. custody need to have access to lawyers, safe and sanitary facilities and other safeguards while the government seeks their prompt release.
But that ruling is not in effect due to several orders by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has placed an administrative stay on Gee’s mandate. On Wednesday, a three-member panel of 9th Circuit judges extended the stay to next Monday.
During a hearing Wednesday, Judge Marsha Berzon, one of the members

I changed the top of the pie safe for Fall. I found a scrap piece of wood in the garage and painted it black. Then I used craft paint and just freehand painted the pumpkins.
I added a Longaberger Fall Foliage fabric bow and a fall leaf wreath. Two of my Evesham plates are on stands with basket and pumpkins in front.
A pumpkin sits on top of two large Longaberger baskets trimmed with ivy and fall garland. It sits next to the pie safe.

RDNT – Genesis
RDNT – Creation

RDNT – Evolution
We offer a fully-dissolvable vinification and fining tannin for red and white wine. RDNT utilises the properties of indigenous plant materials by optimising the high polyphenol content without imparting flavour or bitterness. It enhances fining, body, structure, colour protection, freshness and fruitiness.
The potent anti-oxidative properties of RDNT Genesis negate the need to add SO2 – allowing winemakers to reduce the levels of sulphur added to wines if they choose. The ease of use of the product is also one of its biggest assets and removes the difficulties associated with producing sulphur-free wine.
Using RDNT Genesis tannin alongside sulphur will still produce increased benefits. However, we believe as winemakers become more au fait with our tannin, the need to use sulphur will decrease as more natural fruitiness and fresh flavours of the wine is unleashed making the road to “No Sulphur Added” an easy, natural and advantageous progression.
Please contact us for more information on all the ways RDNT can add value in the beer and cider making processes.

Let’s clear this all at once. You’ll play slots to earn real money but now you are reading free slot? What does this mean? Definitely, this is all about having a test drive course!
Onlineslotqq101.com Slot Machine Games, Free Slot Betting Website
It’s like when you want to buy a brand new car. You wouldn’t splurge right away that hard-earned money if you’ve never tried to spin it. Most probably, before deciding what to buy you’ve to gather already information as well as be able to compare various options prior to getting ahead on the right decision. This is like how you will play at online casinos particularly when you are being offered with a welcome bonus right on your first deposit.
What to avoid with slot machines?
All slot machines would have RNG that is considered as microchip which constantly generates combinations of numbers at a rate of around hundred per second even if the machine is not being played. The said random numbers would correspond to the positions into every reel of the machine. As you play, you are not really doing anything but spinning the reels for the visual effect. Players might simply see reel positions, which correspond to the last set of random numbers within the sequence at the time of the spin.
And so, what are these common errors committed by most players? Consider the most common ones and also the influence that RNG has:
The idea of using slot online machine system.
There are many players who believe that they could predict the next spin through the use of mathematical systems in order to put the odds in their favor. But the RNG makes the slots a game of chance and there would be no way of predicting in advance when would be due of the next jackpot. Winning would come down into the precise moment which you play and this would dictate the set of random numbers that the play would generate. Though the RNG is not purely random it would possible to tell the sequence and though it was in 100 calculations every second the chances of being able to hit the pay within the exact time of winning spin are considered, to say the least. So consider avoiding the use of slot online machine system.
Looking into the reels and calculating the odds.
The number would correspond to the symbols on the reel. There could be hundreds of virtual stops into every reel even though you see numbers of fewer symbols. Once the jackpot is big then the odds of winning it could be small as the jackpot would obviously be financed from somewhere.
The machine has not paid for a while and is due to a payback.
The machine is indeed never due to payout within a certain time since the payback percentage as well as the payout frequency is being calculated in a longer term. The RNG is considered as a longer term calculation and so there is indeed no reason why it couldn’t go a long time having not to pay out or to do two or three payouts within quick succession.
And the idea of choosing onlineslotqq101.com would be best as you plan to play slot betting online. There would be no regrets signing up into this online site with Slot Machine Games, Free Slot Betting Website.

People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at an increased risk for negative outcomes, such as educational underachievement, unemployment, sleep problems and the development of many co-occurring psychiatric and physical disorders. Yet, crucially, individual long-term trajectories are highly variable, both in relation to the development of comorbid conditions and the severity of ADHD symptoms and impairment.
Late adolescence is a highly challenging and potentially critical period for young people with ADHD that can lay the foundations for diverging adulthood trajectories. Yet most young people with ADHD do not receive appropriate interventions during this vulnerable period due to both their disengagement from clinical services during the transition to adult ADHD services and our limited understanding of real-world targets for more holistic interventions. Remote measurement technology offers the potential to: a) obtain ongoing, long-term, real-world data at a level of detail that was previously impossible; b) identify real-world targets for intervention that include modifiable environmental factors and health behaviours; and c) transform monitoring, self-management, personalised treatment and engagement with clinical services during ADHD transition. Using our new ADHD Remote Technology (ART) system, which incorporates a wearable device and purpose-built smartphone Active and Passive Apps, we will remotely monitor young people with ADHD during the transition period.
Aim 1: To identify, with precision, the nature and timing of real-world changes that take place in the transition to adulthood for young people with ADHD (e.g. changes in clinical symptoms and functional impairment; healthy lifestyle behaviours (physical activity, sleep, daily structure, online lifestyle), social support, employment/studies).
Aim 2: Using the rich remote monitoring data to identify factors that predict such changes in the outcome measures.
Training on all aspects of the project, including advanced analyses on the rich temporal data, will be provided.
Main activities for each year of the PhD:
- Year 1: Review background literature; obtain project-specific training (incl. advanced analyses); perform initial data and analysis tasks.
- Year 2: Characterise the nature and timing of changes during transition to adulthood for young people with ADHD that are captured using active and passive remote monitoring.
- Year 3: Identify factors that predict changes in outcome measures during the transition period.

Is it ever too late to rewrite the past?
When Lina and Ash were at school, they buried a time capsule containing letters about their hopes and dreams, and predictions for each other's futures.
Twenty years later, their realities couldn't be further from what they'd expected. And as for Lina and Ash? They're not in each other's lives anymore.
When a reunion brings Lina and Ash back together, they agree to give the dreams they walked away from another chance and embark on a trip that could change everything.
And if they can overcome what happened in the past, then maybe the end of their love story was really just the beginning...

Increasingly, the direction of research points away from a materialist view in which information is seen as a byproduct of matter.
Some scientists respond, “Well, there must be an enormous number of universes and each one is a little different. This one just happened to turn out right.”

This year is the first time I noticed #Noirvember trending on social media platforms with strong film followings, like Letterboxd and Twitter. I have a soft spot for the genre, so I lined up a handful of classic film noirs that I’d never got round to watching, and made my way through them early in the month.
My interest tapered off, finding each disappointing in different ways — not living up to what I imagined, even if they are featured near the top of most “greatest noirs of all time” lists. Some seemed stilted, forced, or emotionally empty. Too boxed in to their genre conventions, maybe. I won’t list the titles for fear of merciless onslaught from cineastes with a love of hardboiled fiction and a grudge to settle, but they were big ones. Even the noirs I could appreciate as great films weren’t hitting the spot. It happens.
Part of the problem is that when I think of noir, the two films that spring to mind are The Third Man (1949) and Casablanca (1942) (some argue against the latter being included in the genre, but for me, any black & white movie made around the time of WW2, making use of low-key lighting, and — crucially — infused with a deep and weary cynicism, is noir). Those are two of my all-time favourite movies. They can stand shoulder to shoulder with any other movie ever made, in any genre. Nothing will ever compare to them.
Abandoning the idea of discovering a mythical third noir masterpiece (I think Touch of Evil comes about as close as possible, as an aside, but I’m already familiar with it), I took another run through “top noir” lists later in the month. Nightmare Alley (1947) jumped out.
It sounds like a 1980s horror film that fell through time and landed in the late 1940s post-war rubble as a black and white… dark crime story in a circus carnival?


The past few weeks have been bad when it comes to hurricanes. First, Harvey slammed Texas, flooding vast areas, causing untold amounts of damage, and killing at least 70 people. Now, Irma is threatening the coastline after making landfall as a Category 4 storm in the Caribbean. At least 21 people are dead, and rebuilding will take years. The tiny island of Barbuda was completely devastated. The Prime Minister, Gaston Browne, estimated that 95% of the island was completely obliterated.
“What I saw was heart-wrenching, absolutely devastating. The extent of the destruction is unprecedented,” Prime Minister Browne told local news station ABS Television. “Barbuda right now is literally rubble…. In fact, I’m of the view that, as it stands now, Barbuda is barely habitable.”
Florida residents are battening down the hatches in preparation for Irma’s arrival, and some 15 million people have been told to evacuate. Storm surges of up to 15 feet are expected, and forecasters are calling for the worst. “I have little doubt Irma will go down as one of the most infamous in Atlantic hurricane history,” wrote Eric Blake, a scientist for the National Hurricane Center.
But Harvey and Irma aren’t all of it. The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) recently issued advisories on Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Jose, and Hurricane Katia, all three of which could make landfall at the same time. Hurricane scientists are stunned. “Three hurricanes threatening land simultaneously in the W Atlantic Basin,” Blake wrote on Twitter. “Never seen anything like this in the modern record.”
As Irma smashes its way towards the US coastline, Hurricane Jose, and Hurricane Katia are spinning close in its wake. Katia, to the east of Irma, is powering up in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, is expected to gain steam as it moves towards the coast. Hurricane Jose is right Irma, about 1,060 kilometers east of the Lesser Antilles–and it looks like it could make its way through the Caribbean, which would be even more devastating after Irma’s wrath.
While three simultaneous hurricanes in the Atlantic isn’t unprecedented–in 2010 when Hurricanes Karl, Igor and Julia all lined up–the size and strength of Irma, Jose, and Katia are something that no one has ever seen.
Climate forecasters from the gutted US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned that this year would be an exceptionally bad one because of rising sea temperatures, a miniature-sized version of El Nino, and an odd lack of high altitude winds which generally slow a hurricane’s path.
