© RILEM 2017. The investigation on flexural creep of high performance fibre reinforced concrete (HPFRC) is still scarce. Even though the presence of fibres in concrete helps to control the deformations, these may increase under the effect of a sustained load. To analyse the effect of creep in pre-cracked HPFRC elements, twelve beams reinforced with either glass or steel fibres with dimensions 40×80×1200 mm were tested under a three-point configuration. For that, a new type of frame was designed and constructed to test the HPFRC beams under flexural load in a climate-controlled room with constant temperature and relative humidity. The loading mechanism was based on a lever system, applying sustained load ranging between 25 and 50% of the load at which the first crack appeared. The deflection at the mid-span was registered by means of LVDT transducers. Additionally, the influence of the curing procedure (with or without aluminium tape wrap) was assessed. In general, glass fibre reinforced beams presented higher deflections than steel fibres, even though at low load levels the type of fibre did not have significant influence on the deformation.

Here’s my personal thoughts:
If you are on a tight budget, clearly CASE 2 wouldn’t be sensible since running and scaling bandwidth would cost a bomb over time. If you not using any cloud hosted server services, you probably be required to maintain your own server hardware. Bear in mind, the difficulties of tuning and optimising regional load (you might need to deploy several servers across the globe to accommodate users from different region for performance reasons).
On the alternative, you wouldn’t need a real time server side game engine in CASE 1. Most of the functional requirements you mentioned does not need a game engine to execute. So nope, you barely need to run cocos2dx for the server side.
What if I have the budget?
Then that depends on what type of games are you building. Do you need to synchronies real time physics world across the clients? If you don’t, I don’t see why you need a server side game engine.
Even if you need to do so, there are a few lightweight physics engine out there to enable you to do physics calculation without the visual renderings. You can even use those physics engine on you server side that cocos2d-x have embedded (chipmunk, box2d).
If you just want the easy - brute force way out, just run similar setup (cocos2dx) on the server and client. They work. Just not as elegant or effective.
Hope it helps, any additional feedbacks are welcomed.

Simulation analysis of fatigue strength in steel highway bridges
Group publication title:
Subject and Keywords:
most drogowy ; konstrukcje stalowe ; wytrzymałość ; zmęczenie ; analiza symulacyjna ; highway bridges ; steel structures ; fatique ; simulation analysis
In this paper, the determination in a theoretical way ? by the simulation analysis - of the stress spectra and strength, as well the service life parameters for the structural elements of road bridges is presented. The analytically obtained results have been verified by the results from field tests of selected elements of steel road bridges under the service load. For the simulation calculations, a linear load model of road bridges (presented in the paper) has been applied, derived from author's measurements on structures and concerning traffic on the Polish urban and country roads and bridges. The presented studies and theoretical analyses have proved that the fatigue hazard exists also in road bridges and they have indicated what types of bridges, which bridge elements in what static schemes, which spans and under what service loads, are endangered by the fatigue hazard.

According to the findings of a new study, the pressure of being available on social media 24/7 might increase teens’ risk of developing depression and anxiety and can make their sleep quality even poorer.
During the said study, researchers interviewed a total of 467 teenagers, who were between the age of 11 and 17 years. The teens were questioned about their habit of using social media at night and during the daytime.
The interviews were followed by tests, during which the researchers checked the participants for depression, anxiety and gathered information on their self-esteem and sleep quality after a teen used common Facebook slang words. They also conducted tests to find out whether the teens felt the pressure of being available on social media 24/7 and if yes, then to what extent.
The results of these tests revealed that social media use was significantly linked to worsened sleep quality, increased depression levels and anxiety, and lower self-esteem among teens who took part in the study.
Heather Cleland Woods, the author of the study, noted that the sleep quality of individuals who have the habit of logging on at night appeared to be particularly affected. Cleland Woods represents the University of Glasgow, Scotland.
According to Cleland Woods, kids become more vulnerable to anxiety and depression during their teenage years and poor sleep quality might contribute significantly to the chances of developing these conditions. She added that studies are increasingly indicating that there’s a strong link between social media use and the overall feeling of well-being, specifically in adolescents.
For instance, a previous study presented at a meeting of the American Psychological Association in 2011 suggested that there’s link between social media use in teens and traits of depression and schizophrenia. Another study published earlier this year in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, & Social Networking suggested that frequent use of social media is responsible for increasing mental health issues among teens.
Researchers conducting this new study have written that as adolescence is known for being a vulnerable phase for developing long-term mental health problems, it is extremely important for us to comprehend how social media use among adolescents is related to factors such as chances of having depression and sleep quality.
The findings of the new study were presented at the annual conference of the BPS Developmental & Social Psychology Section in England on September 11.

HCA Spring Hill (TN) hospital plans are blocked by judge
The Tennessean, September 4, 2009
Plans for a 56-bed HCA hospital in Spring Hill, TN, took a hit when a judge blocked the project, calling earlier state approval of it "a clear error in judgment." Chancellor Claudia Bonnyman reversed an earlier ruling by the state Health Services Development Agency, which had approved a certificate of need for HCA's project. Bonnyman said the healthcare agency that reviews hospital and other medical construction projects acted "without a reasonably sound factual basis."

The will, the intellect, the person must not fall into despair. As Dante travels through Hell, there is a great temptation to fall into complete despair. Despair is the complete loss of hope.
At the city of Dis, there is a mote that encircles the city like most medieval villages. It is stinking and putrefied. As awful as it is to travel through Hell, “it is worse to stand still there” (Esolen, 442). Guiseppe Mazzotta reminds us that the will is at the center of the habit of sin. Anthony Esolen reminds us that we must have our will and wits about us to overcome, avoid and move away from sin.
At the ramparts of Dis, (the city of Satan), Dante meets the Furies who threaten to summon Medusa, the Gorgon. Virgil shields Dante’s eyes from even the possibility of Medusa appearing. For she will, in classical literature, petrify anyone who looks upon her.
This petrification is despair. Despair paralyzes us in the dark wood. Keeps us in the Pit. As awful as sin is, we must not despair and wallow in either sin (of course), but also not wallow in self-pity. Anthony Esolen reminds us that despair as many church fathers considered is the “sin against the Holy Spirit.”
As a great friend will do, Virgil pushes Dante onward to keep moving in spite of great danger from the Furies, from complete despair. The gates of the city of Dis will not open. But an angel comes down and opens them for Virgil and Dante. This scene also shows how weak evil is, vanquished by a simple Amen, as Tony Esolen put it.
Though this world, sin, and evil can bring us to the doorstep of despair, we are not utterly alone. God’s grace and His angels are present though we cannot see either. Evil is weak in the presence of God and His servants.
Carry on Christian soldier.

Last Friday was "Big Friday" at Triggerfish Animation Studios! Instead of everybody doing their regular work on "Khumba", we were given the day to work on any other creative projects dear to our hearts.
Anyone who had an idea for something they wanted to conceptualise or create posted their ideas onto the Triggerfish forum. People then had the chance to browse through all the different ideas and chose a team to join for the day!
Groups ranged from redesigning our offices, to brainstorming marketing and merchandising for "Khumba", to conceptualising a short film based on the synopsis for a potential third feature film, and creating augmented reality apps and a casual game based on our own I.P! Kelly Dillon and her team got the opportunity to work on her "award" winning short film "Bellyflop". Her team managed to storyboard most of the short, and even created a soundtrack for it!
|The Bellyflop team hard at work!|
|Brainstorming ideas for a new studio short!|
|The gaming team with their thinking caps on!|
Watch this space, as the studio partners will be looking at each group's ideas and material they managed to generate, and will be picking a winner!
The idea is to have Big Friday more than once, to give people the opportunity to expand on what they accomplished last Friday, and to take their projects even further!

When it was announced that female rapper Nicki Minaj would be joining the judges on "American Idol", fans of the popular show became excited. But the excitement quickly turned to contempt for Nicki and fellow "AI" judge Mariah Carey, that is. Rumors of a feud between the two surfaced awhile back but both denied those allegations. However, video footage obtained by TMZ shows the two artists engaged in a heated argument during which Nicki was heard cursing out Carey.
It was unclear as to why the Young Money artist went on that verbal rampage, but things are beginning to come to light. According to TMZ, sources close to Nicki say Mariah started the shouting match by calling Minaj a b****. The sources also mentioned that Mariah continually brags about her career accomplishments to everyone, much to the dismay of Nicki.
The source states "She [Mariah] keeps bringing up how many records she's sold, name dropping people she's worked with, how many tours she's done, and how many Grammys or awards she's won. Nicki is tired of it."

Feb 08, 2012· The mean of the two test results is reported as the aggregate abrasion value.Discussion The aggregate abrasion test given above is rapid and easy to perform, except for the preparation of testspecimen, which is difficult and time consuming. This test is however carried out commonly in U.K.and a few other countries.
The aggregate crushing value (ACV) of an aggregate is the mass of material, expressed as a percentage of the test sample. which is crushed finer than a 2,36 mm sieve when a sample of aggregate passing the 13,2 mm and retained on the 9,50 mm sieve is subjected to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load of 400 kN. 2 APPARATUS

Determination of Aggregate Impact Value – Impact Test on Aggregates is done to carry out to: Determine the impact value of the road aggregates, Assess their suitability in road construction on the basis of impact value.
Aggregate Impact Value Test. AIV test is conducted to determine the Aggregate Impact Value of Coarse aggregate. The aggregate impact value gives a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate to sudden shock or impact, which in some aggregates differs from Its resistance to a slow compression load.
5.16 The Heavy Impact Value has application to testing the same materials as those tested by the standard, light, medium, and heavy medium heavy impact soil testers, but the greater mass of this impact soil tester provides less sensitivity of the output so is applicable for harder materials at the top end the scales or beyond the ranges of the lighter impact soil testers.
The apparatus used for determining aggregate impact value of coarse aggregates is Impact testing machine conforming to IS: 2386 (Part IV)- 1963,IS Sieves of sizes – 12.5mm, 10mm and 2.36mm, A cylindrical metal measure of 75mm dia. and 50mm depth, A tamping rod of 10mm circular cross section and 230mm length, rounded at one end and Oven.
Impact value of an aggregate is the percentage loss of weight particles passing 2.36mm sieve by the application of load by means of 15 blows of standard hammer and drop, under specified test condition.
Dec 15, 2017· The aggregates should therefore have sufficient toughness to resist their disintegration due to impact. This characteristic is measured by impact value test. The aggregate impact value is a measure of resistance to sudden impact or shock, which may differ from its resistance to gradually applied compressive load.
which is dependent on the aggregate's impact resistance. This degree is assessed by a sieving test on the impacted specimen and is taken as the aggregate impact value. 7.6.3 Sampling.

In today’s fail-safe world of digital photography, few things feel risky—and even fewer things feel truly dangerous.
With LCD screens constantly flashing back images for immediate review, it’s easy to repeat shots until the desired result is achieved. Photographers no longer need to rely on their intuition, on that proverbial “sixth sense,” to know when they’ve captured the perfect moment.
Gone are the days of rushing to the darkroom to develop freshly exposed film in anxious anticipation of what would appear on the other side. The stress of shielding lead-lined film containers filled with the irreplaceable gems of a once-in-a-lifetime assignment—and of keeping them from airport X-ray machines at all costs— is mostly a thing of the past.
These days, it’s hard to actually fail, and outcomes can feel predictably routine. Post-processing options are swapped with the click of a mouse, salvaging even poorly executed shots by readjusting exposure levels. The breathless seconds of pulling negatives from chemical baths are distant memories for most.
This was simply not the case for the forefathers of mountain bike photography. Back when it was possible to fail—when hard-fought assignments were one ill-chosen f-stop from inadequacy—lensmen such as Tom Moran, Bob Allen, John Gibson, David Epperson and eventually Sterling Lorence were putting their reputations on the line with each and every shoot. But few, if any, were as consistently fearless as Canadian Stephen Wilde, whose inimitable eye and appetite for radical experimentation put him in a league of his own.
Raised in Vanderhoof, British Columbia, Wilde studied photography at what was formerly known as the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, where he began developing a fine-arts approach to his work. He further honed his skills during a coveted internship with American portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz in 1997, and the experience strongly affirmed his proclivity for adventurousness behind the lens. Wilde’s technical prowess and audacious instincts, paired with his deep love for mountain bike culture, enabled him to document nuances of the sport in a boldly inventive manner.
“I would put Stephen way in that progressive category, ahead of the rest of us, always and forever,” Lorence says. “He had a next-level talent of expressing his subjects, not only in the way he took a shot, but also in the way he presented it. When you look back through the archives, he was using the most abstract ways of presenting photos.”
Wilde’s process has always been highly conceptual, and his creative vision typically veers toward the unusual and the unexpected.
“Stephen’s inspiration, what caught his eye, was different than most,” Lorence says. “He was inspired by the culture and the characters of the sport. We’re all such a bunch of kooks, and he had such a good eye for the wacky things and all those moments that don’t happen on the trail. It was Stephen who inspired us to look beyond that obvious trail shot.”
While Wilde is characterized by some as a “photographer’s photographer,” Lorence believes his talents transcend that description, referring to him as “more of a ‘fine-arts, painter’s photographer.’”
“He was always thinking in terms of colors and tones and moods,” Lorence says. “And he would nail the moods he was feeling through the colors he was documenting. He was almost like a painter, and he had mastered all those different types of paintbrushes.”
Exposing negatives to shroud his subjects in the moods he was feeling was only the beginning for Wilde. Next came the darkroom, where his penchant for perilous experimentation—a potentially disastrous risk in the pre-digital era—would be satiated. Here, all sorts of alternative development methods were in the offing: Cross-processing, bleaching/ selenium toning and even the bending of negatives would be employed to realize his desired effects.
“It was risky for sure,” Lorence says. “It was at the beginning of my years as a photographer, and what he was doing was so artistically unique in mountain bike photography. I remember thinking it was intimidating that the rest of us would have to compete against something like that. But I was also excited that he was bringing such a diverse and artistic spread to mountain biking.”
Though the analog era has long been eclipsed by mainstream digital photography, the ethos of Wilde’s early work still has resonance, as evidenced by the widespread use of digital processing mechanisms designed to instill photos with a retrospective look.
“Nowadays, photographers are searching the internet for plug-ins or scouring their Lightroom for presets to give their photos an
alternative look that is merely emulating the manipulation of real film stocks that Stephen was doing organically,” Lorence says. “But they don’t have to risk it all like he did.”

Abortion funds are united as a network of organizations that are funding abortion and building power to fight for cultural and political change. We’re uniquely powerful because we’re pushing progress at local, regional, and national levels, while offering compassionate, direct service to people needing abortions today. Abortion funds have specialized organizational structures that have distinct infrastructure needs not seen elsewhere in the movement. A key piece of our work at NNAF is to support abortion funds in their formation, growth, sustainability, and connectivity. Read more about abortion funds in this 101.
Every year, we do a membership survey to learn more about the practices, values, and needs of abortion funds in our network, and this year we learned some exciting information:
- In FY17, abortion funds collectively fielded over 150,000 requests for funding with $4.1 million, on a median budget size of about $71,000 and a maximum budget size of $409,554. Abortion funds do a lot on small budgets! Many abortion funds name growing their budget as a top priority.
- The three most important leadership skills identified by abortion funds were fundraising, meaningful engagement with folks in communities most impacted, and strategic development/strategic thinking. Abortion fund members are sophisticated, multi-talented, and values-driven leaders.
- On average, abortion funds are led by eight board members and three staff members, although many funds do not have paid staff. Abortion funds have a median number of 15 volunteers, with a max of 3,400 volunteers! Many abortion funds name the Bowl-a-Thon as a great way for new people to get involved and become a volunteer or board member.
Mars Earle first connected with the Carolina Abortion Fund when they called for funding, which Carolina Abortion Fund was not able to provide at that time. They describe how they moved from being a caller to being the first staff person:
“I was a caller, and a year later there were a bunch of policy barriers happening in North Carolina. I reached out to see if I could get involved and got invited to apply for an internship. After being involved for a year, I applied for and was hired as the fund’s first staff person.”
Shared Values of Abortion Funds
We are co-creating a framework for abortion fund membership to embody intersectionality, autonomy, compassion, and collective power! If movements move at the speed of trust, what might be possible if we have a shared analysis of what our values mean and look like? As we continue to strengthen our network and expand our membership, we are fortifying abortion fund membership in our core values of autonomy, collective power, compassion, and intersectionality. Values alignment is a dynamic process of continuous learning, reflection, and striving to improve how we live out our values in our organizations and beyond. Our goals for the values alignment process in 2017-2018 are as follows:
- Abortion funds will build a shared understanding of the values of intersectionality, autonomy, compassion, and collective power.
- Abortion fund members are able to identify concrete examples within the past year when they were proud of how their fund lived out its values.
- Fund members surface questions and areas of improvement for living out our values in order to land on two values goals.
- Fund leaders will hold values conversation with each other across the network for mutual learning and support around their goals.
Here’s an example of an activity that was part of the process:
Samantha Romero shares her experience:
“I have appreciated the process we’re going through to build values alignment for membership. It sends a clear message about a person or organization’s values and what they’re willing to do for this movement to make sure we’re on the same page with shared understanding and expectations. For me, that’s what leadership and culture change look like.”
“We believe that each person comes to us with a complex decision influenced by their multiple identities and experiences. We fund everyone who asks for our help without judgment or prejudice.” – Aphrodite Medical Access Fund
“Intersectionality is integral to our work. When we talk about identity, lived experiences, and different forms of systemic and institutionalized oppression, we acknowledge how these issues are intrinsically connected and can show up many ways in our lives. Whether we are providing abortion funding to one of our Hoosier Diaper Program clients, assisting folks in signing up for health insurance or registering to vote, sending letters to incarcerated survivors as part of our monthly RJ action hours, facilitating statewide and community workshops, or encouraging supporters to host house parties through our direct service and community engagement work, we are always working towards a vision of justice for our communities.” – Hoosier Abortion Fund (All-Options Pregnancy Resource Center)
“Compassion is the most basic and most necessary ingredient in abortion care. It is how we decide to hire people at the clinic and how we treat people who come to us for care. One example is understanding patients who have had multiple abortions and separating medical fact (ie. it’s not a risk to health) and people’s judgment of them.” – Aphrodite Medical Access Fund
“We are intentional about not shaming or re-traumatizing callers. Callers can be harmed by the ways we intersect with them. It’s our job to avoid that. We are proud of providing and teaching compassionate care and we are a soft landing point instead of part of an oppressive system.” – Women’s Medical Fund
“We know that firstly, we need to have compassion for ourselves as we do this work. It feels like being gentle with one another while committing to relationship development and holding each other accountable. We experienced compassion when a founding board member had to step away from their commitment.” – Frontera Fund
“Autonomy means funding abortions for people who face barriers to healthcare access. In collaboration with statewide partners, West Fund worked on ReproPowerTX, an initiative to fight for reproductive rights at the local level. It felt great to participate in a statewide initiative, while still being an autonomous partner able to focus on the needs locally and the community we serve. We worked with local orgs to create a local policy agenda we really believe in. It took collaboration, feedback, conversations about our mission, vision and values.” – West Fund
“We know that bodily and reproductive autonomy is a core human right and must inform all of our activities. In our counseling, when we break through stigma to build a sense of empowerment, it feels like we are making a difference. We answer 10,000 emails a month, and each one feels like we are building that individual’s autonomy. We celebrate this at our team meetings!” – Women Help Women
“Collective power is fundamental to fighting for social change. At All-Options, this means cross-movement building, investing in critical social and political issues, and centering and investing in marginalized and underrepresented communities. Last year we worked collaboratively with other members of the Indiana Reproductive Justice Coalition to collect over 2,000 valentines to send to state legislators.” – Hoosier Abortion Fund (All-Options Pregnancy Resource Center)
“Collective power is the political base of the MARIA Fund as we are convinced that support networks are the fundamental basis for improving people’s lives. We experience collective power when our connections living outside Mexico City create fundraising activities, even though it’s a very restrictive context to do so.” – MARIA Fund
“For us, collective power means having a large base of support of donors who support other social justice groups. We rely on informal systems for our collective power, and we harness it. We are a conduit/intermediary, so we contribute to collective power.” – Jane Fund of Central Massachusetts

MPT, a joint venture of VolkerRail and Laing O’Rourke, and Transport for Greater Manchester were among the winners at the 2015 National Rail Awards, after receiving the Civil Engineering Achievement of the Year award for the work completed on Manchester Metrolink’s new Airport Line.
The £400m, 14.5km-long Airport Line, which opened in November 2014, was highlighted as a project that had not only been delivered a year ahead of schedule, but also one that had strong environmental management and had engaged and communicated effectively with communities.
Judges were complimentary of the scale and nature of the work, highlighting the successful installation of two new 580 tonne motorway bridges, the 337m long viaduct; over the Mersey Valley and the remodelling of 28 highway junctions.
This is the first time a tram scheme has been recognised with an award at the National Rail Awards.
MPT, project director Peter Jones said: “The team has worked so closely together to deliver successfully over the past seven years and it’s great to get this national recognition.”
Transport for Greater Manchester’s chief executive officer, Dr Jon Lamonte, said: “The Metrolink Airport line provides a vital connection between Manchester city centre, Wythenshawe and Manchester Airport, improving access to thousands of jobs. It really is a transformative project that delivers real economic benefits to Greater Manchester, and one that we completed a whole year ahead of schedule.”
Held annually, the National Rail Awards recognise and celebrate the best people, organisations, stations and projects in the railway industry.

Brazil’s Angra III nuclear power plant has been granted a construction license by the Brazilian National Nuclear Energy Commission, regulators said.
Authorization to break ground on the project was given Monday to state-owned Eletrobrás Eletronuclear, which is in charge of the project and can now begin construction immediately.
Construction of Brazil’s third nuclear power plant is expected to take 66 months, the official Agência Brasil reported. Angra III is being built in Angra dos Reis, a city on the coast of Rio de Janeiro state.
Two other nuclear reactors, which were started in the 1970s and took more than two decades to complete, are already in operation at the site.
Angra II, which has the capacity to generate 1,350 MW of electricity, has been operating since 1999, but construction of the plant started in 1975, following the inauguration of neighboring Angra I, which has a generating capacity of 657 MW.
Angra III, which will have a generating capacity of 1,405 MW, will create 9,000 direct and 15,000 indirect jobs during the construction phase.
The nuclear power plant is expected to cost some US$ 4.94 billion and will employ about 500 people once it is completed.
Regulators had previously approved site preparation and the construction of administrative offices at the power complex.
The Angra III license cost US$ 20 million and took four years to obtain. The next phase in the Angra III project involves obtaining a license to transport nuclear material, with issuance expected in 2014, when the power plant is expected to be in the final stage of construction.
The Brazilian government, under a plan crafted by the Energy and Mines Ministry, is studying the construction of up to four 1,000 MW nuclear power plants that would enter service gradually, with completion of the project by 2030.
Brazil wants to use its enormous proven uranium reserves, which rank as the sixth-largest in the world, as the foundation for its nuclear program and the country also dominates the full uranium-enrichment process through state-owned INB.

ISPA has revealed the shortlist for this year’s Internet Hero & Villain, the longest running awards categories at the ISPA Awards, the ISPAs.
These categories, sponsored by fulfilment experts NetLynk Direct, go to those who ISPA Council feel have helped or hindered the internet industry in the past 12 months, with previous winners including the Rt. Hon. William Hague MP, Ofcom, and rural broadband pioneers B4RN.
The 2014 list sees the Guardian newspaper nominated for their lead role in reporting of the PRISM surveillance programmes, and the wider Snowden revelations. They are up against the Internet Matters campaign, a pan-industry initiative to inform and educate customers on the issue of online safety. The other two nominees are broadband related, with INCA nominated for championing the role of independent alternative networks and the Public Accounts Committee/National Audit Office for holding the government to account over the broadband programme.
The Internet Villain shortlist is dominated by surveillance. Home Office mandarin Charles Farr has continued to defend mass surveillance programmes and finds himself nominated as a result alongside the NSA/GCHQ for their surveillance activities. The Russian Government makes the list due to a new law that gives the government even more control over content, restriction of freedoms and increased data collection. Norfolk County Council makes the list, for their failure to meet superfast broadband targets as promised.
ISPA Secretary General Nicholas Lansman said “the Internet Hero and Villain shortlists show the importance of getting internet policy right and to reflect on the serious issues we and the public have faced. Surveillance, privacy and getting fast internet are vital for the country, with the internet a huge driver of growth. I look forward to finding out who wins these light-hearted awards on 10th July.”
The ISPA Awards are a good way to look back at another big year for the internet industry, as more and more people take up superfast, more services move to IP-first or IP-only. ISPA has been busy acting as the voice of the industry across many areas, from broadband and online safety, to making sure the internet industry is heard in important debates around copyright, media regulation and consumer issues.
The ISPA winners will be revealed at the ISPA Awards ceremony on 10th July at the Park Lane Sheraton Hotel. Tickets can be booked here.

PLA (Poly-lactic Acid or polylactide) has easy print-ability which makes it widely used in 3D printing.
PLA is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable biomass, typically from fermented plant starch such as from corn, cassava, sugarcane. PLA had the second highest consumption volume of any bio-plastic of the world.
PLA is used as medical implants in the form of anchors, screws, plates, pins, rods, and as a mesh. PLA can also be used as a decomposable packaging material, either cast, injection-molded, or spun. Cups and bags have been made from this material.
In the form of a film, it shrinks upon heating, allowing it to be used in shrink tunnels.
It is useful for producing loose-fill packaging, compost bags, food packaging, and disposable tableware.
In the form of fibers and non-woven fabrics, PLA also has many potential uses, for example as upholstery, disposable garments, awnings, feminine hygiene products, and diapers.
In 3D printing, PLA (Poly-lactic Acid) filament is the most common and broadly used material. PLA has a strength of about 70 ~ 80% or more compared to ABS filament and can be deformed at high temperatures.
The melting point of PLA is around 180°C and unlike ABS, it does not shrink easily even when the temperature decreases, so it is possible to print variety of designs relatively stable and easy.
|Print Temperature(℃)||180 - 220 ℃|
|Color||9 (Black, White, Grey, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Pink, Purple)|
* 1.5kg PLA available for 7X (Blue & White)
Here are some sample outputs printed using PLA.
1) Wand stick from 'Harry Potter' by Stefan, Random Design Studio
2) 'Overwatch' Widow Maker Helmet by Stefan, Random Design Studio
If the filament in the cartridge runs out, you can get this Refill Filament spool to refill.
You can simply refill the filament by replacing the filament spool inside the cartridge and the smart chip inserted on the cartridge.
If you use a cartridge too long, the filament feeding rubber roller of the cartridge can be worn out and may cause a filament feeding problem. If so, you may purchase a new cartridge.
◆ Note: Only Sindoh genuine filaments that are tested and certified by Sindoh's Lab are recommended for the best quality of print output.

I sit and think about the meaning of thanksgiving from a spiritual aspect, instead of a point of view as American holiday..i break apart the words inside my mind and deeply ponder and wonder about the true intentions behind its meaning of these two beautiful words that are meshed together to form what is called the “holiday” thanksgiving..
I think about what I am thankful for and the ultimate divine intentions that has been set before me which I perceive through the notion of thanks as being grateful for..i thank my angels and my spiritual creator daily for ALL that I have, along with all that surrounds me, for I wouldn’t want another humans problems and am only equipped through experience to navigate mine own..for this profound understanding alone I am thankful..
I am so utterly thankful for my children and the tribe of people who surround my heart and spirit nourishing me while holding me close to their heart.. I feel their love and presence of this human beloved act of giving to me something and being able to receive it in the most thankful appreciative way..i hope they feel the gratitude i have in return and feel the love i hold dearly and cherish for each of them in return..
i was thinking the other night while saying my prayers before bed as I was trying to settle my mind, what does love really feel like right now at this specific moment.. the only thought that came to my mind was the thankful feeling of my husband holding me in his arms and feeling all his compassion kindness and love flow through me in the most subtle way without him ever realizing what he was giving to me at that moment..that in itself is the true artful expression to me of being thanks and giving all at the same time..
the second part of the word can be challenging at times giving apart of ourselves selflessly to others without the desire for a return response..i think about what i put out there into the world generously through my heart and spirit in a giving way and where i can also work on the compassion and kindness when i lack at the department of giving freely since i am only human..at times it annoying and disruptive but to put someone in front of yourself is the true art of what giving actually means i think..
i think about what i have given to myself and those that i love and hope i am leaving a positive lasting legacy in their lives enough to be proud of me..i think about the effects of my giving and hope it has only made their world happier and brighter with long lasting effects even if sometimes it happens to be clouded by a temporary judgment because again we are all only human..
so today i leave you all a piece of thanks and giving for this unique moment that finds you reading this journal entry..i wish you an abundance of spirited hope and renewal peace and harmony in the seams of your life lifting you up a bit higher than where you were before you read this blog..i wish for you an array of eternal sunshine in your heart filtered through love and compassion, kindness and caring for those around you and the strangers that you face daily in this vast beautiful land we call home..
may the universe feel the gratitude and thankfulness that you have within your heart and continue to nourish you enough that allows you to continue give outward of yourself and inward to yourself in the most beautiful fulfilling way..peace love faith hope

Democrats are claiming victory for Andy Beshear over political rival and Republican incumbent Matt Bevin in the Kentucky governor’s race. As of 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, the Associated Press said the race was still too close to call.
With 100% of precincts reporting, Beshear had a lead of 4,658 votes out of more than 1.4 million counted, or a margin of 0.3 percentage points.
During a speech to supporters Tuesday night, Bevin said he is not conceding. He said the process needs to be followed in such a close race — an apparent reference to the process of checking to ensure ballots were reported and added correctly.
“Would it be a Bevin race if it wasn’t a squeaker,” Bevin told the crowd. He won the Republican primary for governor by a few dozen votes four years ago.
For his part, Beshear declared victory and told his supporters that he hoped Bevin will honor the election results.
Beshear thanked his family and also acknowledged teachers. During the campaign, Beshear exploited Bevin’s feud with teachers over pensions and education issues, an issue that resonated with voters.
Beshear said, “To our educators, this is your victory.”
There is no mandatory recount law in Kentucky. Bevin may request counties recanvass their results, which is not a recount, but rather a check of the vote count to ensure the results were added correctly. Bevin would need to seek and win a court’s approval for a recount, the process for which would be dictated by the court.
The final hours of campaigning were overshadowed by the endorsement Bevin received from President Donald Trump as the incumbent tried to overcome a tenacious challenger bearing a well-known last name. Beshear is the son of Kentucky’s last Democratic governor.
Trump’s election eve rally at Rupp Arena in Lexington was meant to give Bevin a last-minute boost.
Beshear dominated in the state’s urban areas in Louisville and Lexington and won some traditionally Republican suburban counties in the state’s northernmost tip, just south of Cincinnati, to offset Bevin’s strength in rural areas.
The result could reverberate far beyond Kentucky. The fierce contest was being watched closely for early signs of how the increasingly partisan impeachment furor in Washington might affect Trump and other Republican incumbents in 2020. Among those with an especially keen interest: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who’s on the ballot himself next year in Kentucky.

Perth Run 16/11/2002
Excellent weather for the second run of the WA crew, 3 x MY02 cars,
Aluminium Silver, 2 Moonstone (strange feeling driving along and looking at
a reflection), Ben's MY00 mixed up the colour scheme with his Diablo Red and
Jason brought along a nice black 306GTi6.
Usual meet place on the river with the city backdrop. A quick zip down the
freeway to get out of metropolis, where Nav caught up with us ... then
straight for the water catchment areas in the South West. You see from one
of the photo's there isn't much water to speak off (the dams are at
something like 18% capacity).
The roads get quite narrow in places and you had to remember they are
actually 2 way. First real stop was Canning Dam (see photo). Then a small
journey over to Churchman Brook Dam, a quick swap of cars to check out
different Springs and Quick Shift kits, then off for lunch.
Everyone had a great time - see you at the next meet.
Here's the route.

From the Detroit Free Press:
The book, titled “Perfectly Normal,” contains cartoon drawings of naked people and others involved in sexual acts. It’s available at middle school libraries. And although it indicates it’s meant for kids 10 years and up, it’s still making some parents uncomfortable.
“Most of the time, when I showed this to parents, their jaws just hit the floor,” parent Tim Schmidt said. “They were shocked and then their next reaction was outrage.”
The article incorrectly lists the title as Perfectly Normal, and doesn't mention Robie Harris by name, but the somewhat A Current Affair--ish (i.e. fear-mongering, HIGH DRAMA, SCARY PIXELATED IMAGES) segment at KSDK shows the cover of the book.
This is a great example of how much tone and inflection can affect the way that we ingest information: the written article is basically just a transcription of the television spot, but it comes off as pretty dry and straightforward, whereas the televised version of the story comes off as totally leaning in the ZOMG THERE ARE NEKKID CARTOONS IN OUR SCHOOLS WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN direction.

Are you afraid of the dentist? You’re not alone. Many people have a fear of the dentist and feel anxiety either during their appointments or just before. Suppose you’re going to the dentist in Beaver Dam and Owensboro, KY. In that case, there are many things you can do to alleviate concerns about the dentist and make a visit to the dentist more comfortable overall. Below, we’ve listed some things that you can do to make going to the dentist a less anxiety-producing experience overall.
Talk To Your Dentist
Make your dentist aware of your fears. Your dentist can help you by making suggestions to address your specific concerns, whatever they are. An experienced dentist will have tips and tricks for patients who have anxiety about sitting in the dental chair.
Try These Techniques
There are many relaxation techniques that can help you feel better about your trip to the dentist.
Breathing and Visualization Exercises
Breathing exercises can help calm your nerves before going to the dentist. Spend time breathing in and out, recognizing your breath, and acknowledging your feelings of anxiety in a non-judgmental way.
Listen to Music or a Podcast
Bring music to listen to while you’re in the dentist or a podcast that you particularly enjoy. Don’t forget your headphones to ensure that you can listen to whatever you like without distracting the dentist.
Tell your dentist you’d like to take periodic breaks during your dental appointment. When you need a break, raise your hand to let the dentist know.
Consider Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry takes the edge off your dental procedures by helping you to relax. With sedation dentistry in Beaver Dam and Owensboro, KY, patients are given simple sedatives or an inhaled gas that helps make the experience of seeing the dentist easier overall. Call Dr. Travis Wilson Family Dentistry to learn more about sedation dentistry.

Back in February I commented on a BBC programme about the ecological system of Yellowstone National Park, and how it had benefited after the re-introduction of wolves. I concluded firstly that the beautiful balance of such systems poses yet another layer of complexity and teleology for evolution to explain, and secondly that for TEs to pick and choose which bits of nature God governs is untenable. Well, recently I saw another film about Yellowstone with some more fascinating lessons.

What To Do If I Suspect My Friend/Family Member/Neighbor is an Animal Hoarder?
Cosmo, a 6 1/2-year-old Exotic Shorthair, was surrendered by his owner to the Utah Humane Society in early February. After a declawing surgery had left painful fragments, Cosmo needed surgery to repair his paw along with an entropion surgery and a dental cleaning procedure. Entropion is a condition in which a portion of a cat's eyelid is turned inward against the eyeball rather than lying flush around it.

psygenet2r: An R package for querying PsyGeNET and to perform comorbidity studies in psychiatric disorders
psygenet2r has been developed to facilitate statistical analysis of PsyGeNET data, allowing its integration with other packages available in R to develop data analysis workflows. It is available in Bioconductor
psygenet2r package allows to retrieve the genes associated to psychiatric diseases, or explore the association between a disease of interest and PsyGeNET diseases based on shared genes. In addition, psygenet2r allows the annotation of genes with psychiatric diseases based on expert-curated information. This functionality can be of interest to interpret the results of GWAS or Whole Exome Sequencing studies, in which a list of gene variants is obtained and there is a need to prioritize them based on their functional and clinical relevance. In this context, it would be of interest to know if there is information on their implication in psychiatric diseases.
The new release of the psygenet2r package is available through Bioconductor. To install psygenet2r the user must type the two following commands in R session:
A. Visualizing gene-disease associations (GDAs) using networks
In order to visualize the GDAs between the genes found in PsyGeNET and the distinct disorders, psygenet2r provides several options.
One of them is the GDA network (Figure 2A). In the GDA network, green nodes represent diseases and orange nodes represent genes.
On the other hand, results can be visualized in a network according to the 8 psychiatric disorders classes available in PsyGeNET (alcohol UD, bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, cocaine UD, SI-Depression, cannabis UD, SI-psychosis). The node’s size of each psychiatric disorder is proportional to the number of disease concepts that belongs to each disease class, from the total number of diseases associated to the gene (Figure 2B).
B. Characterizing protein function from a list of genes
psygenet2r package can be used to analyze gene attributes such as the function of the proteins encoded by these genes (PANTHER Protein Class). The PANTHER Protein Class Ontology includes commonly used classes of protein functions. The pantherGraphic function shows the Panther class to which the proteins belong according to their associated psychiatric disorder.
Using as input a list of genes and the database (ALL, psycur15, psycur16), we will obtain a bar-plot (Figure 3) with the different panther classes in the Y-axis and the percentage of genes in the X-axis, grouped by PsyGeNET psychiatric disorders.
C. Number of publications supporting each gene-disease associations
We can also inspect the number of publications that support a GDA. psygenet2r package allows the visualization of this information in a bar-plot. Figure 4A shows an example, with the genes in the X-axis and the number of publications in the y-axis.
D. Assessing disease similarity using the Jaccard Index
psygenet2r can also be used to know which diseases are similar to a target disease based on shared genes. Since PsyGeNET database contains information on genes associated to psychiatric diseases we can use it to estimate disease similarity.
The Jaccard Index is an statistic used for comparing the similarity of two sets. The result from the Jaccard Index estimation can be visualized in a bar-plot (Figure 4B) where the p-value of each comparison between our genes and PsyGeNET's disease is shown.

On the uniqueness of solutions of stochastic differential equations with reflecting barrier conditions
, Diffusion theory
A stochastic differential equation is considered on the positive half-line, driven by Brownian motion, with time-dependent coefficients and a reflecting barrier condition at $0$ (Skorohod style). Skorohod proved pathwise uniqueness under Lipschitz condition, and this is extended here to moduli of continuity satisfying integral conditionsComment:
This extends to the reflecting barrier case the now classical result in the ``free'' case due to Yamada-Watanabe, J. Math. Kyoto Univ.
, 1971. Many of these theorems have now simpler proofs using local times, in the spirit of Revuz-Yor, Continuous Martingales and Brownian Motion,
