Ed is a very laid back, gentle cat who prefers nap time to just about everything else. He likes other cats, and will perk up for food and playtime, but overall he just really wants to curl up with you. You can reach RAL at 804-379-0046.
Beatrix is a very sweet 8-year old dog, adoptable from the Richmond SPCA. She enjoys taking things slow and is a very well-mannered pup. Beatrix can’t wait to join your family today! October is adopt-a-dog month at the Richmond SPCA and all adult dog adoption fees are reduced by 15%. You can reach the Richmond SPCA at 804-521-1307.
Mr. Barnabus is a small bicolor white and orange kitty, adoptable from the Hanover Humane Society. He’s a nice guy and loves to interact with humans! He’s playful and enjoys being held. Barnabus will do best in a home where he is the only kitty and can get a great deal of attention from his owners. You can reach the Hanover Humane Society at 804-798-8248.
Molly is a beautiful 5- month old kitten, adoptable from Richardsons Rescue. She was born to shine and everyone who meets her falls in love because she has that unique dog-like personality.

Molly has never met a stranger and is more than happy to share her home with children, dogs and other cats. You can reach Richardsons Rescue at 804-387-3758.
Previously featured adoptable pets include…
Earth is a 5-month old male kitten, adoptable from the Richmond SPCA. He’s a handsome black and white guy, who is very playful! He is nervous around dogs though. You can reach the Richmond SPCA at 804-521-1307.
Bam Bam is a beautiful 2-month old kitten, adoptable from the Richmond Animal League. He and his siblings were rescued from animal control when they were just three weeks old. Their foster mom lovingly bottle fed them until they were old enough to eat on their own. Bam Bam is a very playful little boy who loves to roughhouse with his brothers and sister. When he’s not jumping and pouncing, he enjoys curling up next to you and keeping you warm. You can reach RAL at 804-379-0046.
Timber is a rather shy 3-year old dog, adoptable from Pixie’s Pen Pals. He came to Pixie’s from the Southside SPCA, where he was abandonoed in a box with his brother Woody. Once Woody graduated their program and got adopted, they decided to make Timber a Pen Pals dog too. He was quite frightened and undersocialized, but he is learning to adjust to new situations. Timber loves the company of other dogs and doesn’t mind cats at all. He gains a lot of confidence around other dogs, so he wants to live in a home with at least one doggy sibling. Timber is very slow to come out of his shell, but is a very gentle and sweet boy. He needs someone who understands his reservations about new people and places and is willing to give him the time he needs to become comfortable. You can reach Pixie’s Pen Pals at 804-525-2193.
Gromit is a 4-year dog, adoptable from the Richmond SPCA. He is a very sweet and friendly little guy who loves to give kisses and get lots of attention.

(Pocket-lint) - OnePlus is committed to releasing a 5G-capable smartphone in 2019, and when it launches, EE will be the first in Europe to carry it.
EE, a UK mobile network operator, has announced a partnership with OnePlus to deliver 5G service to customers. The duo announced this partnership at the Qualcomm Summit event in Hawaii, where EE said it'll be "the first operator in the world to range" OnePlus' upcoming 5G phone. It also detailed the rollout of its 5G services in 16 UK cities, including London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast, Birmingham, and Manchester.
This is only phase one of EE's roll out of 5G. More areas will follow, as EE - which is part of BT Group - continues to upgrade its 4G network. It's currently planning to upgrade about 1,500 sites in 2019, covering roughly 15 per cent of the UK population. It's upgrading transmission to 10Gbps links at each 5G site, and has already tested the new links at its trial sites in Canary Wharf and East London.
As for the OnePlus 5G phone, it is unlikely be the OnePlus 7. Although OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei previously confirmed that next year's flagship OnePlus smartphone will be 5G, it seems that an all-new device line will be created instead.
Marc Allera, CEO of BT’s consumer division, said regarding the deal: “EE and OnePlus have a shared vision: to give out customers the best connected experience possible.
"We’re working together on cutting edge technology to deliver that, and we’re leading the world on the journey to 5G," Allera added.
OnePlus first revealed at Mobile World Congress Shanghai in June that it's planning a 5G smartphone for 2019. OnePlus CEO and founder Pete Lau explained that, thanks to the company’s relationship with Qualcomm, it’s hoping to become one of the first 5G mobile phone makers.
While at the Qualcomm Summit, Lau also confirmed OnePlus' 5G phone will feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 chip and X50 modem.

Steve Giles is a world champion and has the gold medal from the 1998 Senior World Championships to prove it. During the 16 years he spent with Canada’s canoe/kayak team, he competed in the Senior World Championships seven times, also winning two bronze one in 1993 and one in 2002. These victories were all in single competitor events, as was Steve’s gold-medal win at the 1999 Pan American Games.
Giles was adept at both the 500 m event and 1000 m early in his career. His best races came in the C-1 1000 m event later in his career, earning the world championship gold medal in 1998 at Szeged, Hungary. In the same event, he won a bronze medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and a bronze medal at the 2002 World Championships in Seville, Spain. He also won a bronze medal at the 1993 world championships in Copenhagen, Denmark, in the men’s C-1 500 m event, and at the 1989 Junior World Championships in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
Giles has represented Canada in not one, but four Olympic Games 1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004 placing in the top eight each time. At the 2000 Games in Sydney, he claimed a bronze in the single canoe 1000-metre event.
In the 2004 Summer Olympics, Giles competed in the C-1 1000 m event. He finished second in his initial heat, advancing to the semifinal with a time of 3:52.451. Giles won his semifinal with a time of 3:51.720, qualifying for the final. There, he placed fifth at 3:51.457.

The two EPR nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point C will provide the UK with reliable low carbon electricity to meet 7% of the UK’s needs. Although tailored to British nuclear regulatory requirements, they are almost the same as EPR reactors being built by EDF and its partners in France and China. Recently there’s been a lot of discussion about the EPR design. Some critics claiming it is too complex and difficult to build.
Our Engineering Director, Robert Pays, addresses these views and sets out some facts about the EPR design.
Challenge one – the EPR is a complex design which can’t be built
EPR stands for European Pressurised (Water) Reactor. It’s an evolution of the Pressurised Water Reactors (PWR) – a tried and tested technology of which there are 277 in operation in the world. There are 58 nuclear power stations in France and Britain has one PWR nuclear power station operated by EDF Energy at Sizewell in Suffolk.
Sizewell B was supposed to be the first of a new generation of nuclear power stations, with one of 10 PWRs announced by Energy Secretary David (now Lord) Howell in 1979. But a short term drop in energy prices in the early 1990s meant these plans were abandoned.
We’re now paying the price: Sizewell B will be the only one of the UK’s current nuclear power stations still producing electricity by 2035. This leaves us a yawning gap to fill. EDF Energy is planning to fill that gap with four EPRs in the UK, two at Hinkley Point B and two at Sizewell C.
It’s true that there have been problems building the first EPRs and Hinkley Point C will benefit from the experience gained at these pioneer projects at Flamanville in France and Taishan in China. However most of the problems were related to the fact that the design was not sufficiently advanced before the construction began. They are impacted by the difficulties of relearning new nuclear construction after a 15 year pause in France. The unique standards and certification required in nuclear construction have had to be re-mastered, as have the complexities of these giant construction projects. Now these skills have been understood through the experience of construction and from all the lessons learned building other EPRs around the world. the nuclear industry and its suppliers will be stronger and more capable in the future. In Britain Hinkley Point C will bring jobs and skills to the nuclear and construction industries and for the benefits of future projects,
France saw these benefits when its new reactor programme was last underway. It’s an obvious thing to say but the last of the 58 reactors was easier and faster to build than the first.
There are other benefits that Hinkley Point C’s EPR design will enjoy. The UK regulator has approved the design through a process called the Generic Design Assessment and EDF has been clear that a stable design. means that when we start, we can continue construction without stopping.
Computer-generated image of the EPR reactor
Challenge two – there’s too much risk for the UK taxpayer
At Flamanville all the main civil works have been completed which means we are on target to fuel and generate first power from the reactor by the end of 2018. The twin EPRs being constructed in Taishan by our partners CGN are due to come online next year. The first reactor is already undergoing testing ahead of commercial operation scheduled for the first half of 2017. The second reactor is in the “equipment installation” stage and is expected to be producing power in the second half of 2017.
This experience is a huge advantage for Hinkley Point C.
In addition, we have used technology to help us including advanced 3D/4D design tools.
That means we know the position of every nut and bolt we need to put in place - we’ve effectively already built our Hinkley Point C EPRs in digital form - so we aim to be one of the best prepared new nuclear project.
All big projects carry risk and the success of a project depends on controlling and anticipating those risks. The nuclear expert Yannick d'Escatha was asked by our Chairman Jean-Bernard Lévy to review the Hinkley Point C plans at the end of 2015. He reported: “My team did not find any major risks which had not been identified already and dealt with”. He made some recommendations for further improving the project and all of his recommendations have been adopted.
All of this has given EDF and its Chinese partner CGN the confidence to take the construction risk for the project. The people who really know the EPR through building itbelieve in its success. The UK consumer and taxpayer will take none of that risk.
Challenge three – we can wait for new, simpler or homegrown reactor designs
Some have argued we could just wait for other forms of reactor technology to come forward. But like a lot of ‘easy solutions’, this isn’t a real answer.
There are no shortcuts. All nuclear reactors have to go through years of regulatory approval and the power stations themselves require planning and environmental permissions, Government contracts and EU approvals.
And the UK EPR is the only reactor approved through the Office for Nuclear Regulation’s (ONR’s) Generic Design Assessment (GDA) process, which took four years.
We obviously think the EPR is best for Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C – it’s a third generation design incorporating the latest safety standards – but other reactors will be built because the UK needs a number of new nuclear power stations. But we can’t just wait for technologies that have yet to be approved or fully developed.
By the end of 2016, 31 power stations will have closed since the start of the decade – that’s 30% of the UK’s electricity generation capacity. By the end of 2030, a further 35% of capacity will close, including all coal, and all but one of our current nuclear power stations.

Eugenie Sage isn’t the only Minister pushing for change in the fragile South Island basin. David Williams and Sam Sachdeva report
David Parker has been quietly pushing for greater environmental protection in the Mackenzie Basin.
Last year the Environment Minister sent letters to the chief executive of Canterbury’s regional council, ECan, and two tiny South Island councils, encouraging their existing work to plug gaps in their respective plans and policy documents. The Ministry for the Environment has also submitted to the Waitaki Council’s district plan review.
These details were revealed in briefing documents released to Newsroom under the Official Information Act. Officials told Parker a show of ministerial interest might encourage a tightening of rules in the Mackenzie, where sensitive landscapes are potentially threatened by further farm intensification and other development.
Parker pledged his support and encouragement for what’s called the Mackenzie “agency alignment programme” – which involves the Waitaki and Mackenzie councils, ECan, Department of Conservation, and Land Information New Zealand.
The group was formed after a hardening of public mood – and, importantly, a change of Government – following years of haphazard management of the Mackenzie, which allowed more intensive farming on ecologically sensitive and dry landscapes, making the Basin a poster-child for tensions between environmentalists and farmers.
“I have a keen interest in the Mackenzie’s unique combination of landscape and biodiversity,” Parker wrote to Mackenzie Mayor Graham Smith on July 4, adding he’s, “committed to supporting your council and the wider alignment group in any way I can to help safeguard it.”
Smith couldn’t be reached for comment.
“He doesn’t need to be down here, does he? Because he knows we’re not going to vote for him anyway.” – Simon Williamson
Gary Taylor, executive director of lobby group Environmental Defence Society (EDS), is heartened by Parker’s active interest in the Mackenzie. “In many respects the Basin exemplifies what is wrong with the current planning system.”
Simon Williamson farms just south of Twizel. He’s the chair of Federated Farmers’ high country industry group, which is bracing for the Government’s changes to high country management, which will presumably make it harder for more intensive farming on Crown leases, among other things.
Of the alignment group, Williamson says the agencies are talking amongst themselves. “We’ve told them till we’re blue in the face if you don’t involve the people that need to be involved right from the word go, you’re not going to get our buy-in. And they certainly haven’t been doing that.”
Parker’s letters from last July mention a visit to the Mackenzie in the “near future”. The Minister’s office confirms that’s yet to happen, and, while he intends to go, there’s nothing scheduled.
Williamson, who has no beef with Parker, quips matter-of-factly: “He doesn’t need to be down here, does he? Because he knows we’re not going to vote for him anyway.”
The Mackenzie Basin is split between the Waitaki and Mackenzie councils, meaning development proposals can be considered under different district plans. There’s another layer of approvals needed for intensive farming on Crown pastoral leases – from the Crown’s land manager, Land Information New Zealand, with input from the Department of Conservation. To complicate things further, water take consents involve the regional council, ECan.
Some developers have been savvy enough to employ a sort of divide and conquer strategy, accumulating approvals from agencies in isolation.
The consequences for the environment have, in some cases, been awful, with large green irrigation circles dotting the landscape, changing the character of what was previously open, brown, and barren. One high-profile development saw an irrigation pipeline for a massive dairy conversion carved across public conservation land.
Conservation and Land Information Minister Eugenie Sage calls it a biodiversity crisis.
Hence the belated attempt at alignment between agencies.
The alignment group’s latest work is a dry-sounding document called the Mackenzie Basin Planning Gap Analysis, which points to “significant gaps and areas of misalignment” between different council plans and policies, which might allow further development in fragile and prominent areas.
Worried about further changes
Parker’s letter to Mackenzie Mayor Smith mentions the council’s proposed plan change 18, which sets rules for the protection of indigenous vegetation. The plan change (PPC18) was notified in December 2017 but no decision has been issued. Parker’s letter says: “Given the sensitive nature of the Mackenzie Basin environment and the potential for further changes to be made in the absence of PPC18, I am seeking an update on the progress of this plan.”
In July’s “in-confidence” briefing, officials suggested the council’s hesitation with pursuing the plan change appeared to be uncertainty over the Government’s yet-to-be-announced national policy statement on indigenous biodiversity. They told Parker: “While, in general, it is not good practice to encourage councils to act ahead of new national direction, in this case there would be potentially significant advantages in having PPC18 in place to address key issues such as pre-emptive vegetation clearance.”
However, the letter doesn’t seem to have had the intended effect.
Ann Rodgers, the Mackenzie council’s planning manager, tells Newsroom: “We have made an application to the Minister to extend the timeframe on plan change 18 to allow for the new national policy statement on indigenous biodiversity, which is currently out for submission, to be progressed.”
Taylor, of EDS, urges Parker to help with the Waitaki council’s plan review, which will, he says, complement progress made in the Mackenzie. (The group has just completed a major review of the planning issues in the Mackenzie and expects to release its findings in July.)
But Minister Sage appears to be one step ahead. Waitaki council’s heritage, environment and regulatory group manager Lichelle Guyan confirms Sage has made an offer of direct support – of both money and technical expertise – to help the natural environment aspects of its plan review. “Waitaki District Council is currently in a dialogue with the Minister and the other agencies as to what such a package of support could look like.”
What does the Government want?
In an emailed statement to Newsroom, Parker says: “The Government’s aim is to ensure the iconic landscape is safeguarded and environmental outcomes improved. The programme was set up to improve alignment across the agencies, which have an individual and collective role in the MacKenzie basin, to ensure they were working together better – an aim I support.
“My officials have advised me recently that progress made by the alignment group is encouraging and I understand much higher levels of agency collaboration are now in place.”
ECan chief executive Bill Bayfield is chair of the Mackenzie Basin Alignment Agencies’ chief executives’ forum. He says the agencies welcome the Minister’s interest and support.
In an emailed statement, Bayfield says in response to the gap analysis report ECan will publicly notify its review of the Canterbury Regional Policy Statement in 2023, and the Waitaki and Mackenzie Districts will undertake full reviews of their plans.
“The agencies are supporting these review processes and are working together to deliver new planning provisions for the Mackenzie Basin as soon as is possible, given the time required to develop new planning documents, and the necessity to follow the statutory processes.”
Williamson, of Federated Farmers, is a little less upbeat. He says farmers aren’t being informed of the alignment group’s work, adding: “From my point of view it doesn’t seem to be going very fast.”

The rest of the ?350 non\sensory GPCRs mediate intersignalling by ligands that range in proportions from small molecules to peptide to huge proteins; they will be the targets in most of medicines in clinical utilization [1451, 1560], although just a minority of the receptors are exploited therapeutically. The 1st classification scheme to become suggested for GPCRs BTZ038  divided them, on the essential of series homology, into six classes. These classes and their prototype users were the following: Course A(rhodopsin\like), Course B (secretin receptor family members), Course C (metabotropic glutamate), Course D(fungal mating pheromone receptors), Course E (cyclic AMP receptors) and Course F (frizzled/smoothened). Of the, classes D and E aren’t within vertebrates. An alternative solution classification plan “GRAFS”  divides vertebrate GPCRs into five classes, overlapping using the A\F nomenclature, and that are reported to react to endogenous brokers analogous towards the endogenous cannabinoid ligands have already been grouped jointly (GPR18, GPR55 and GPR119).

Have frizzy hair? And want to fix it? Well read on and find out! 🙂
1// Apply olive oil. Take a dime sized amount of olive oil in your palm, and flip your head over. Gently massage the oil into your roots by starting at the nape of the neck and working up to the crown of the head. Rub a little more oil. Apply a little more oil to your fingers, and run it through your hair to gently but evenly distribute it. Flip head upright. To create a shine at the roots, you can part your hair and rub the oil on the hairline. Comb through. Or, leave your hair like that to get a wavy look. Blow dry or air dry.
2// Don’t wash hair every day. This kind of hair needs the natural oils from your scalp to reduce frizz. To upkeep your desired style, just wet hair with some conditioner on non-washing days (rinse thoroughly).
3// Use raw egg. Eggs aren’t just for a breakfast; they can be used to maintain healthy frizz-free hair as well. Simply crack a raw egg and lather it into your hair. Let it sit for a full fifteen minutes before proceeding with your normal shampoo and conditioner regimen.
4// Try using a vinegar solution. Combine 4 oz. of apple cider vinegar with 1 qt. of water and mix well. Rinse your dry hair with the diluted vinegar mixture before conditioning. Not only is this an all-natural alternative to conventional rinses, it works as a great clarifying shampoo and prepares your scalp to accept the moisture that helps your hair behave.
5// Make sure you are using the right brush. A lot of times your hairbrush can be a big part of the reason you have frizzy hair. If you brush too hard, breakage can occur, which can dry out your hair and inhibit its natural texture. Check with your hairdresser to be sure you are using the right hairbrush for your hair type.
6// Lather in honey. Honey is a great all-natural conditioner for your hair. A great bonus is its sweet smell. Simply mix equal parts organic honey with the oil of your choice. Lather into the hair and let sit for at least 10 minutes before rinsing with cool water
7// Gently blot your hair with a towel to squeeze out excess water after a shower or bath. Do not rub vigorously since this can damage the hair strands. Use a wide-tooth pick and gently comb through your damp hair to remove tangles.
8// Wash your hair using a shampoo that contains natural humectants, which are derived from animal or vegetable fats and lubricate your hair, attract moisture and reduce frizz.
9// Apply an oil rinse. All-natural oils like almond oil and coconut oil not only work well to nourish your hair into behaving; they smell great too. Shampoo and condition as normal after letting your hair absorb the natural oils.
Hope this helps 🙂

In Chapter 11 of the book, we present the geophysical recipe for the forcing of the QBO of equatorial stratospheric winds. As explained, the fundamental forcing is supplied by the lunar draconic cycle and impulse modulated by a semi-annual (equatorial) nodal crossing of the sun. It’s clear that the QBO cycle has asymptotically approached a value of 2.368 years, which is explained by its near perfect equivalence to the physically aliased draconic period. Moreover, there is also strong evidence that the modulation/fluctuation of the QBO period from cycle to cycle is due to the regular variation in the lunar inclination, thus impacting the precise timing and shape of the draconic sinusoid. That modulation is described in this post.
As the chapter does not go into the detailed nature of the lunisolar orbit, a good review is available at this NASA page. The salient excerpt describes the lunar draconic month variation:
“The mean interval in the periodic variation of both the draconic month and the orbital inclination is 173.3 days. This is the average time it takes for the Sun to travel from one node to the other. It is also equivalent to the interval between the midpoints of two eclipse seasons. The period is slightly less than half a year because of the retrograde motion of the nodes.”https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEhelp/moonorbit.html#draconic
In accordance with the NASA chart of lunar orbit inclination variation, we apply precisely that phase of modulation on the draconic sinusoid, only varying the strength of the modulation to fit the QBO signal.
Applying this modulation and optimizing its magnitude by performing an iterative least-squares fit to the QBO will increase the correlation coefficient from ~0.6 for the unmodulated draconic cycle to beyond 0.8. It essentially tracks the locations of the sign reversals much better that the pure draconic cycle while not changing the long-term mean of 2.368 year for the QBO period.
This variation also impacts the model for ENSO, as a similarly modulated draconic signal is applied as a forcing. This is the monthly view of the correlation between the two (the daily view generates a finer detail). The correlation coefficient is ~0.65 which is quite good considering that these time-series are fit independently (and no teleconnection assumed between QBO and ENSO, apart from the common-mode gravitational forcing.
As a post-script: It’s perhaps worthwhile to think of this modulation as an amplified forcing due to it’s signalling the points for the alignment of moon and sun in longitude, a la lunar and solar eclipses as described on the NASA site, “the inclination is always near its maximum value for both solar and lunar eclipses “. Because of this alignment, there is likely to be an amplified tidal forcing.


When creating an enterprise geodatabase index in ArcGIS Pro:
If I enter an index that is longer than 16 characters, ArcGIS Pro automatically truncates the index (to 16 chars):
Most enterprise databases now support object names that are 128 characters long (example: Oracle was 30, now 128).
The 16-character limit in ArcGIS Pro is too short. When we have hundreds of tables with multiple indexes, we need long index names so that we can clearly describe and differentiate between like-indexes.
Could Esri please consider supporting longer index names when creating indexes via ArcGIS Pro?

On Tuesday, ESPN released its annual rankings of the top 25 players under 25 years old and featured LaMelo Ball high on the list. After a standout rookie season, Ball came in ranked third. Only Luka Doncic in first and Zion Williamson ranked above him on the list.
The trio of Kevin Pelton, Bobby Marks and DraftExpress’ Mike Schmitz were the voters in the rankings. Marks ranked Ball eighth with Doncic, Williamson, Michael Porter, Jr., Ben Simmons, Devin Booker, Donovan Mitchell and De’Aaron Fox, in that order, ranked above him.
Pelton ranked Doncic, Williamson and Jayson Tatum above Ball and Schmitz’s top three rankings mirrored that of the final list.
Given Ball’s relative lack of sample size, ranking him above the proven talents of Donovan Mitchell (fourth), Jayson Tatum (fifth), De’Aaron Fox (sixth), Ben Simmons (seventh), Devin Booker (eighth) and Bam Adebayo (ninth) seems like a bit of an overreaction to the moment.
On First Take on Tuesday morning, Stephen A. Smith agreed and voice his disagreement as only he can.
Ball’s spot in the rankings was likely done to draw attention and clicks. That it was used as a debate topic on its morning show pretty much solidifies that.

It looks like a blazing Technicolor winter for women's fashions, with hemlines both short and long.
The 10-day Paris ready-to-wear style parades of some 100 designers for about 1,800 international clients and press shattered the eyes with wild colors, two to four per outfit.Silver, gold and bronze dominated for tights, shoes, trenchcoats, skirts and jackets. Yves Saint Laurent closed the season's shows with evening gowns and little flat bootlets gleaming like molten gold.
Models were squeezed into silver and 18-carat gold tights at many shows. Nearly every Karl Lagerfeld number meant second-skin body suits half-covered by short swinging dresses or jackets. Silver and gold was used for gloves, coat linings and visor hats. Even the quiet Pierre Balmain house tastefully added long gold sleeves to a black velvet slim dress.
Stronger colors painted the parades in the Louvre Museum courtyard under tents and in private showrooms around Paris. A short purple coat swung over sunny orange tights and boots at the Chloe show. Guy Laroche coats startled the viewer in huge blocks of red and purple over red tights.
Sequins and rhinestones added to the glitter and gleam. Valentino gladdened his crowd with a trench coat, blouson top and trousers sewn entirely with black sequins.
The latest chapter in the hemline hassle: Paris at last gave women a choice of any length plus lots of trousers, from cigarette pants to knickers and shorts.
After years of micro-minis, longer skirts made a cautious comeback in the January haute couture shows of Emanuel Ungaro and Yves Saint Laurent. In the March ready-to-wear lineups the longer hemline gained courage. Emanuel Ungaro firmly put sporty wool midi skirts in striking Indian-like prints with long belted tops and mid-calf red, blue or green coats on his market.
Saint Laurent dropped hemlines to around the knee (but this shouldn't be startling since many women over 40 have worn skirts at that length for years, anyway). Saying "the hemline depends upon the girl and the dress," the designer cut a string of Scotch plaid full-skirted ruffled dresses at mid-calf but showed an above-knee short skirt, too.
Trousers were plentiful in most shows, from skinny cigarette pants at Guy Laroche to Saint Laurent's widish checked trousers chopped off at mid-calf.
The main silhouettes were the A-line, or trapeze shape, and the lampshade line that gently marks the waist and flares out to the hem, pioneered by Claude Montana. The Valentino house presented a lampshade that flared out and then in. All these shapes meant soft shoulders except for the ritzy Palm Beach-New York finery of Hubert de Givenchy.
Most jackets of the trapeze or lampshade design ended at a 7-8 length, leaving a strip of skirt or dress showing below.
Duffle coats, quilted ski-type jackets and tons of capes crowded the runways. Shoes ranged from flats to towering heels plus the eyebrow-raising button-like platform soles at Saint Laurent.
Quilting blanketed the shows - red or green square quilted coats over cigarette pants at Guy Laroche, a lovely white quilted suit at Hanae Mori, quilted black skirts at several houses, quilted hats, quilted duck blue, violet or ochre quilted jackets with hoods at Lagerfeld.
Hoods, in fact, shrouded many a show - take a hooded curved dress at Jean-Louis Scherrer or a white fox hood on a turquoise jacket over white pants at Montana.
As for fabrics: denim at Chanel of all places, hound's tooth and Scotch plaids at many houses plus vinyl-Lycra-wet-look stretch fabrics for tights and body suits, lace, lame, wools and lace and net for see-through skirts and tops.
Red, orange, yellow and purple and shades thereof were leading colors. Darker Italian Renaissance hues of slate blue, burgundy and pine green were used by the small house of Lecanuet-Hemant.
Lagerfeld's two wild and wacky shows for Chanel and for his own house won praise while the best-show compliments went to Montana and Jean Paul Gaultier. Thierry Mugler's line was the funniest. Two huge fake eyes that winked and two plastic arms that hugged were sewn onto the bosoms of some incredible outfits.
Oscar de la Renta became the first important American designer to show in the main parades in the Louvre before applauding packs of his New York clients who flew over to watch. His line was tasteful and elegant, an echo of the Valentino house. But de la Renta is not a creator, as the Paris newspapers said.
The Persian Gulf war did not dent the shows, as approximately the same number of press and buyers signed up as before the upheaval. So the scene underneath the three tents was as hectic as usual.
"It's more like a soccer game than an elegant fashion show," said an astonished Spanish journalist.

The United States Senate today passed S. 3711, the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act, which opens leasing in 8.3 million acres of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico to environmentally safe natural gas exploration that potentially could make 5.83 trillion cubic feet of natural gas available. Sponsored by Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM), the bill would include a 125-mile buffer off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico. Fifty percent of lease sale revenues would go to the General Treasury; 37.5% would go to coastal protection of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas; and 12.5% percent would go to the stateside Land and Water Conservation fund.
William R. Carteaux, president and CEO of The Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI), says, "I applaud the U.S. Senate for taking a major step forward to alleviate the energy crunch that has severely impacted America's consumers and manufacturers. While it is not all that the U.S. plastics industry had hoped for, the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act will increase access to natural gas resources and offer a short-term solution to the supply-demand imbalance that has resulted in skyrocketing natural gas prices."

Drones must now be registered with FAA
Almost 500,000 drones are expected to be bought this holiday season, but starting Monday owners must register them with the Federal Aviation Administration.
It's all the rage this year and Christmas, but its popularity has been flirting with danger.
The FAA reports just over 900 near collisions with airplanes.
One drone even crash-landed at an airport in Racine, violating no fly zones for drones in the area.
But now all drone operators need to register with the FAA before takeoff.
“Really, the FAA needed to do something, and they needed to do it quick,” said Matt Grenoble a pilot and airport operations supervisor at Waukesha County Airport.
The mandatory move is welcome news to Grenoble.
“Drones can potentially pose a safety hazard if the pilots don't know where they are or where their altitude is. Then, yeah, there's a potential for a collision,” Grenoble said.
About 100 planes fly in and out of the airport every day, and over the past year, there have been about a dozen drone sightings.
Now, anyone with a drone weighing over 9 ounces must go online and pay $5. Registration is valid for three years.
It’s a safety step, and it will help the FAA hold operators accountable.
“This Christmas season, there's going to be a lot of presents, so there's going to be a large increase right after Christmas,” Grenoble said.
Grenoble is hoping by registering online, more operators become aware of where to fly their unmanned aircraft safely.
Not registering a drone by February could cost fines of at least $27,000, $250,000 in criminal penalties and even three years in prison.

Spatially distributed morphological characteristics of macropores in forest soils of Hitachi Ohta Experimental Watershed, Japan
- Cite this article as:
- Noguchi, S., Tsuboyama, Y., Sidle, R.C. et al. J. For. Res. (1997) 2: 207. doi:10.1007/BF02348317
Morphological characteristics of macropores in forest soil profiles were investigated at Hitachi Ohta Experimental Watershed in Japan. Nine individual profiles at different locations (various spatial scales in a catchment) and twenty profiles at one site (a small spatial scale) were excavated to the bedrock to investigate density, origin, diameter, direction, and gradient of macropores. Macropore densities in a soil profile ranged from 3.5 to 29.1 per m and from 5.4 to 75.1 per m2, respectively. Subsurface erosion, root channels, and interactions between subsurface erosion and root channels accounted for 36.9, 36.5, and 19.0%, of the described macropores. The mean macropore diameter in organic-rich soil layer (17–20 mm) was larger than in the B horizon (11–14 mm) at both spatial scales. The dominant gradients of all macropores in the organic-rich soil layer and B horizon were at negative oblique angles. Approximately 90% of the macropores in the organic-rich soil layer and approximately 80% of the macropores in the B horizon fell within the range between −50 and 50 degree planar direction. Subsurface flow and root systems are believed to play important roles in determining the morphological characteristics of macropores. These characteristics appear to have variable influences in different soil horizons rather than at different spatial scales.

Crusader. The word fills me with dread. My Christian heritage is built on a foundation of bones and blood - and not just the body and blood of Christ: Slavery in the Atlantic and the crusades in the Mediterranean.
Crusader church. It is hard to imagine mercenaries and murderers, rapists and ragamuffins building the church in which I worshipped today. I can only hope that the last thousand years of prayer have in the Abbey of Saint Mary of the Resurrection have included prayers of penitence on behalf of the Christians who brought such rage and violence to the Holy Land. The sisters and brothers in their respective monasteries have made this a beautiful church. The music - Latin Gregorian chants, French liturgy are breathtaking. And the grounds are exquisite.
The mosque next door brings me some comfort. The church and mosque share a wall. I like to think that one cannot fall - or be torn down - without the other.
Abu Gosh, the town in which this crusader church and it's neighbor mosque are famous for its music festivals during the Jewish holidays of Sukkot and Shavu'oth. And for its hummus which is a religion of its own. Abu Gosh is also built over Kiriyat Ye'arim, where David kept the Ark of the Covenant for 20 years. And some pilgrims believe Abu Gosh is the true site of Emmaus (and not the other three contenders).
The Ark of the Covenant, the monasteries, the music, the Israelite religious festivals and their contemporary Jewish celebrations, the mosque, the church and the hummus, this is a holy place.

Damage to your parking lot or driveway can be caused by many different things and without assessing the actual damage there is no way to diagnose the problem or, most importantly, how much it will cost to fix. But The Lot Doctor is equipped with the right tools, materials and most importantly, the right experience to fix any problem.
Many times cracks in asphalt are due simply to age and water intrusion. When these types of cracks are repaired properly and maintained regularly (Sealed every 2-4 years) they do not become larger problems. But if repairs are not made, or done improperly, these cracks are the start of much larger problems including potholes and even subgrade failure which can lead to total asphalt failure.
1. Cleaning: We use a hot air pressure torch system to remove all debris and vegetation from the crack. Dirt and vegetation left in a crack will not allow the filler to adhere properly to the walls of the crack and will eventually lead to further water infiltration.
2. Crack Routing: Some asphalt cracks are actually larger under the surface than what is obvious on the surface. When this is the case, the surface needs to be “routed” down 1” with a machine so that enough filler can be injected to allow for proper expansion and contraction. Not doing this will almost assure you that small crack will turn into a much larger problem very quickly.
3. Filler: We use Duroflex hot pour crack sealant made by The Henry Company. This product is heated to between 350 and 400 degrees and injected into the crack with a special machine engineered specifically for cracks between ¼” and 1 ¼”.
4. Sealer: After the Duroflex Sealant dries, we are ready finish the sealing project as we would any other part of the surface with the Duraseal asphalt sealant.
Potholes are usually a result of having unrepaired cracks that have allowed water to penetrate the asphalt. Once water has penetrated the surface of the asphalt, it begins to further erode the asphalt by removing many of the natural oils and minerals that hold asphalt together. It will also begin a freeze/thaw process that will put unnatural pressure on the asphalt as well as the subgrade beneath the asphalt. This pressure along with the pressure of vehicles driving over top of the area begins to weaken the asphalt, which eventually “pops” leaving a void in the asphalt that we think of as a pothole.
Many companies are going to tell you that you need to saw-cut a portion of your parking lot/driveway, remove the damaged portions, then lay brand new asphalt to replace the damaged area. This is true in some cases, SOME!!! But this is definitely not always the true. In most cases, we would rather “recycle” your existing pavement. Recycling is less expensive, less time consuming and you end up with a much better outcome.
1. The first step to recycling your damaged asphalt surface is to clean it really well. We use our high powered blowers and in some cases, our hot air torches to remove any vegetation that may be present.
2. Next, we are going to bring in our “infra-red” machine. This machine heats the asphalt (to 2” below the surface) to 350 degrees.
3. Once the asphalt is hot, it becomes pliable. We rake the pliable asphalt and mix in fresh oils and minerals assuring that the recycled asphalt will hold up for many years to come.
4. After the asphalt is mixed and the new oils are added, we mix in brand new asphalt, grade it, and level it out to the rest of the asphalt surface.
5. We then compact the repaired area with a plate compactor.
6. The repaired area is now ready to be sealed along with the rest of your parking lot/driveway.
Alligator cracking is when you get cracking occurring in a general area that forms to look similar to alligator or fish scales. This is usually a sign of problems with the subgrade. The cause of alligator cracking could be that the subgrade was not flat to begin with or that the subgrade materials have compacted or shifted over time due to a drainage problem. The most cost effective way of dealing with alligator cracking is to seal the surface with an “Alligator Patch.” This option deals with the aesthetics of the cracking and will seal water out. This solution will usually last for several years, and although it is not a permanent solution, may be the best for your situation.

Cleaning Smoke Damage in Your Home
Getting Rid Of Smoke Damage In Your House
Smoke is the product of soot, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Combined with the potentially harmful chemicals of whatever material is burning, smoke damage can affect the air quality of your home and render damage on physical structures, making cleanup a necessary and immediate need for the safety of your home and health of all dwelling inside.
Materials You Will Need
Smoke cleaning can be a difficult process and even the smallest of impacted areas will need extensive attention to remove the smoke and soot damage left behind. For an effective cleaning, you’ll need several materials:
- Dry-cleaning (chemical) sponge
- Bucket of hot water
- Rubbing alcohol
- Degreaser or commercial soot remover
- Clean rags, sponge
With tools in hand, it’s time to enthusiastically and vigorously clean.
Steps You Will Take
As quickly as a fire spreads, the process for cleanup is comparatively slow and methodic.
1. Ventilate: Turn off your HVAC system to avert the spread of smoke and soot. Circulate fresh air into the smoke damaged area by opening windows and turning on fans.
2. Protect: The irritants contained in smoke and soot can be risky to inhale or contact with bare skin. Wear protective gear and consider a respirator mask if there are significant levels of soot to be cleaned. Protect clean items by removing them from the room or covering with plastic sheets.
3. Vacuum: Remove loose soot particles by vacuuming the area with an upholstery attachment on a powerful shop-vac.
4. Wipe down: Use the dry-cleaning sponge before any soot cleaner or water touches the damaged area. This chemicals in the sponge work to remove layers of soot, and should only be used in a wiping motion, never scrubbing.
5. Clean: Using your preferred liquid cleaner, wipe every surface in the room with a wet rag. Follow with a diluted solution of two tablespoons of degreaser and one gallon of hot water, ensuring you use a clean rag and/or clean solution as soon as either appear murky from the soot deposits.
Smoke damage can be an invasive problem worthy of professional cleanup. Keep the number for your local South Hill, WA restoration company nearby for when the aforementioned materials just aren’t enough.

Poker is a card game where you play against other players, using your cards to make the best hand possible. The best players know how to play this game to their advantage and can win big money in the process.
There are many different types of poker and each has its own unique rules. Some of the most popular are Omaha, Texas Hold’em and Seven-Card Stud. The most common strategy is to bluff and play aggressively, although this is not always necessary.
One of the most important things you need to learn about poker is how to read other people. This involves watching their body language, eye movements, betting habits and other tells. There are books dedicated to this skill, and it’s a useful one to develop in your spare time.
You should also practice observing your own actions to improve your decision making skills. This can help you understand your strengths and weaknesses and determine what areas you need to work on, as well as which hands you should bet or fold in certain situations.
When deciding how much to bet, you should consider previous action, stack depth, pot odds and other factors. This is a complex process, and it can take a while to get it right.
If you’re unsure how much to bet, you should always start with small amounts and slowly increase them as you become more confident. This will help you to win more money while keeping other players from folding too early, or getting too greedy.
Another good strategy is to bluff more often when you have weak hands. This is a great way to increase your pot size and get other players to fold their weaker hands.
In addition to this, if you have a very strong hand, you should also try to bet it aggressively. This can be a very difficult thing to do and requires a lot of patience, but it is very worth it in the long run.
It’s also a good idea to play a few sessions of poker before you decide to buy in, so that you can see how the game progresses and how you can improve your skills over time. Once you have enough experience, you’ll know what to do at different levels of stakes and will be able to pick the right level for you to play at.
The main rule of poker is to make the best possible hand out of the cards you have in your hand and those on the table. This is why a good player will often raise the pot rather than limping in if they think they have a strong hand.
Some people believe that bluffing is only for the big winners in poker, but this is not true. It’s a vital part of the game and can help you to win even if your opponent has a weak hand.
If you are a beginner, it can be tempting to play a lot of trashy hands and call with them. However, this is a mistake that you shouldn’t make. Trashy hands can easily turn into a monster after the flop.

Milo Yiannopoulos appeared today on Buckshot: The Buck Sexton Show to discuss the warning of Europe’s experience with mass Muslim immigration and to warn gay people that they cannot rely on the regressive left to protect them anymore.
“My message to gays it that the left does not have your back. They’re not interested really in protecting minorities. You may have many listeners who are Christians that may not totally be down with the gay thing, I understand that, I’m a gay Catholic I wrestled with these things myself but ultimately these people are Americans”
“There’s a hate mosque in the north of Orlando where this guy was hosted three weeks ago that said the compassionate thing to do for America was to kill all gays, this is the type of stuff that’s being preached in America every day. It gives rise to the horrible atrocities we’ve seen in Orlando and the left doesn’t really care about this we’ve seen them make excuses for Islam in the days that have past, we’ve seen them criticise people that dare to make the connection between Islam and what happened.”
“Muslims don’t like Jews very much and it seems the only people that are surprised by this are our esteemed media but I think it’s clear now that all the hand wringing from Democrat politicians and all the pearl clutching, even in some cases from Republicans, is not going to help save lives.”
“What needs to happen now is a real reckoning in america, an understanding that this isn’t an Islamic terror problem, this is an Islam problem. 100 million people live in a country where the penalty for homosexuality is death, a 1001 out of 1001 british muslims, 100% believe that homosexuality is an unacceptable lifestyle choice. And every once in a while that attitude spills over into things like this and I think the gay community is tired of hearing politicians make excuses for islam, is tired of hearing journalists lie and skirt around the problem. Is looking for people to be honest about how that community can protect itself and in my view that is making full use of the first and second amendments”
“The best thing gay people can do now is educate themselves properly on the threats that they face, be prepared and go out wearing a gun if they can because this is a serious problem and American problems have shown no willingness whatsoever to adequately or honestly educate women or homosexuals living in these communities were these hate preachers are winding up troubled young men and sending them off to commit horrible acts”

Mehendi styles are not just restricted to a particular age of girls or any occasion either! Trendy and modern styles are now easily accessible via the internet. Girls and women around the world like trying new styles and showing off their creativity with henna. Applying it on the hands and legs in all shapes, sizes, and colors is equally fun. Here are some modern designs that you can flaunt this festive season.
Delicate patterns are all the rage with the modern women. Why? Because they are minimal, focused and detailed! You can choose a single finger and create an entire masterpiece around it only. They tend to end up looking temporary tattoos with their dainty lines and squiggles. Adding glitter or using colored henna is also a bonus for creating different designs.
A princess is always elegant, graceful and minimal. This style focuses on your arm and the tips of your fingers effectively without seeming too over the top. Lace and lattice styles with floral and leaves are a good pattern to try out.
You’ve heard of black magic, but have you seen white magic? White color mehendi or henna is slowly getting quite popular among teens. Other than pleasing to the eye, it also gives a royal touch to your hands. Stick on gemstones and you’re ready to flaunt your magical powers.

Special features: This lady has an auto-immune problem. She has microphages (flesh-eating micro-organisms) in her leg that eat up her tissues, causing infections. If the circumstances were normal Tyra’s organism would be able to fight-off the enemy on its own. In her case – it is an open wound that doesn’t get better from the treatment we can administer in the shelter environment. In short: Tyra needed a clean, quiet place, healthy raw food, immune-modulators and stimulators, cholistic drugs… all sorts of stuff we cannot offer her.
Stay at Bogrov: 2 years
New home: Not found yet, Tyra is stationed for a prolonged treatment in a nice clinic in Sofia.
Tyra came to us already with the wound. We treated her, then again, then we took her to other clinics with no result. The smiling girl never held it against us, she lost nothing of her sunny nature, she wasn’t confused, it was enough for her that we were there, that we loved her, that we wanted only what’s good for her.
Dogs like Tyra are not a rare thing in the shelter – stable, calm, friendly middle-aged girls that have been thought by their harsh lives not to have any pretention about anything. Unfortunately, these lovely dogs are not easy to rehome – there are not too many people who have the knowledge and sensitivity to recognize the perfect pets they are. Sending her abroad with such a problem was out of the question – no one wants to go through the trouble, and Tyra’s condition is Trouble with a capital “T”.
So, when our amazing friend Michelle called us with the news that she is bringing a British celebrity to the shelter and they will be picking up a “hopeless” dog (just like Mina who is now happy and loved thanks to Michelle), we already knew which dog we will recommend. Michelle met Tyra, liked her, discussed with all possible doctors what we can and cannot do for her and took over her treatment.
There are not too many people in this world that can pay attention to every detail the way Michelle can. To create Tyra’s treatment plan she spoke with many Bulgarian and British doctors. Today, our girl has an amazing improvement already – thanks to the immune-stimulators, healthy food, clean life, but also a very special innovative drug, developed in Britain for the treatment of dog cancer.
Tyra was amazingly lucky to have crossed Michelle’s path, taking up a little space in her bright mind. A dog with a diagnose like hers would never have been OK in a shelter like ours, neither could she go to live in a better place if it was not for Michelle opening up her heart to Tyra. Words are not enough to tell Michelle how grateful we are, but we know it is enough for her that this good dog is getting back her health and will receive a new happiness. Just like it ought to.
You can see a part of the film about Michelle’s organization K9 Rescue Bulgaria with Tyra and our shelter in it too here:

*People with thoughts of suicide truly want to die and once their mind is made up – there is NO stopping them.
*Anyone attempting or completing suicide is being very SELFISH or they were just seeking attention
*Mental Health professionals are the ONLY ones who can help someone in crisis
*If you ask someone if they are thinking about suicide – you will be giving them the idea to attempt/complete suicide
*Those thinking about suicide – HIDE it very well
The truth of it is:
*Most people thinking about suicide desperately want to live, but may be struggling with depression, anxiety and/or pain. They may not know how to deal with it – maybe they have dealt with it for years but just don’t feel any better. They may believe family and friends would be better off without them. They don’t know how to go on feeling the way they do and are just so tired of the fight.
*Some who have attempted suicide will tell you they just needed to know someone cares.
*You don’t have to be a mental health professional to CARE – you can be a family member, a friend, a teacher, a neighbor, a coworker or anyone else.
*Talking with someone about suicide will NOT give them the idea. It will show them you care and are willing to listen.
*Most people thinking about suicide don’t hide it well. There are signs – changes in mood or behaviors. The signs may be somewhat different for teens vs. adults.
*There is no ONE single reason why people consider suicide as there are many factors that are different for each person.
*NORTH DAKOTA had the 2nd highest rise in suicide rates from 2000 – 2018 in the nation. In 2017, there were 124 deaths by suicide in ND which calculates to about one suicide every 71 hours or one almost every three days. ND ranked 15th highest amongst other states.
In 2018, there were 140 deaths by suicide in ND which calculates to one every 63 hours. ND ranked 12th amongst other states.
In 2019, there were 154 deaths by suicide in ND which calculates to one every 57 hours. ND ranked 10th.
*The impact of one suicide impacts over 100 people.
*Rural areas have seen an increase due to fewer mental health resources and the fact they have more firearms which account for over 50% of ALL suicide deaths.
*Men die by suicide almost 4x more often than women while women have more attempts.
*Rates of suicide are highest among middle-aged white men.
Suicide is the 8th leading cause of death in North Dakota
It is the 2nd leading cause of death for ages 15-34
4th leading cause of death for ages 35-44
3rd leading cause of death for ages 45-54
8th leading cause of death for ages 55-64
18th leading cause of death for ages 65 and older
Three times as many people died in North Dakota in 2017 than in alcohol related motor vehicle deaths.
In 2019, in our Southwest Region of ND, nine people died by suicide while four died in a vehicle accident.
Any way you look at it, that is TOO MANY deaths – most of which could have been PREVENTED.
We have made improvements in educating ourselves about the dangers of drinking and driving, now let’s educate ouwrselves about SUICIDE and how we reach the goal of ZERO SUICIDES.
In future articles we will talk about signs/symptoms for youth and adults; what you can do and what resources are available.

The grid method is the most widely used technique for measurement-based noise assessment, and indeed is part of the ISO 1996-2 standard. Nevertheless it has certain disadvantages. The present work is an analysis of the grid method for evaluating noise, firstly in the city of Cáceres and, secondly in two other smaller towns. Using as reference a 200 metre grid study, a study was made of the effect of varying the size and form of the grid on the city’s overall noise value, the percentage of data found to lie above some reference thresholds, and the noise value assigned to a certain zone of the city. The ISO 1996 recommendations of the necessity of new sampling points and the method’s predictive capacity for these new measurements were also analyzed.
The paper presents results of three socio-acoustic surveys conducted in an interval of twelve years, between 2001 and 2013, in a large Romanian city, Cluj-Napoca. The purpose of the surveys was to assess the awareness of residents on urban noise and the extent to which the noise environment affects their everyday life, behavior and health. The surveys were conducted in 2001, 2009 and 2013. The questionnaire used in the first survey had 16 questions and it was verified prior to study through a pilot survey, being corrected and improved. For the second and the third study, the questionnaire was enriched with eight more questions, regarding essentially the description of the residential area, criteria for its selection and also awareness about the noise map of the city. The analysis of responses defines the main characteristics of the local pattern of annoyance and reaction of the urban population to the environmental noise.
An important aspect in assessing noise in urban agglomerations is the subjective one, which takes into account the sensitivity and specific reactions of residents to the noise in their living environment. This paper presents results of a sociological study initiated to determine the population awareness, regarding the urban acoustic environment and estimation of effects and disturbance. The survey was conducted in a Romanian city, to complement the information provided by the strategic noise map of the area. This approach allows the estimation of specific local patterns of reaction and response to urban noise of the exposed population and provides the information, needed to develop action plans and to set proper solutions for urban area planning.
Limited Traffic Zone (LTZ) is a planning strategy that is more and more adopted by municipalities in Europe to improve their environmental conditions. It consists in the prohibition for traditional vehicles to circulate in specific areas. Although the main aim is to tackle air pollution problems, positive effects are registered in terms of reduction of noise annoyance and in terms of improved “quality of life” if specific conditions are respected. On the other side under the drive of the global market, the number of circulating electric vehicles in urban sites is also increasing. In the next years we expect to experience a new and not well-known urban soundscape. In this paper is presented an overview of recent urban projects and policies that deal with noise control and how these experiences will match into the next years with the sound characteristics of new electric vehicles for private and public transportation.

|Publisher:||MAHATMA PHULE AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY RAHURI, 413 722 DIST- AHMEDNAGAR, Maharashtra State. (India).|
|Abstract:||Investigation entitled, "Studies on photoperiodic requirements of Lai Rajgira (Amaranthus caudatus L.) as leafy vegetable" was carried out under controlled conditions at the Instructionalcum-Research Orchard, Department of Horticulture, Mahatma Phule Agricultural University, Rahuri, during 1986-87. It involved five photoperiodic treatments viz., 3-hour, 6-hour, 9-hour, 12-hour and 15—hour photoperiod replicated four times in completely randomised design. The findings revealed that Lai Rajgira is a obligatoryshort-day plant. The vegetative growth interms of plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf size, leaf area, and fresh weight and dry weight of plant increased as the photoperiod was increased. Photoperiod of less than 6 hour was found to be insufficient for plant growth. A photoperiod of 12 to 15 hour was found to produce higher edible green matter.Department Major Professor Contd..XV PM CHANDWADE HORTICULTURE ABST. CONTD.• The plants flowered earlier and profusely with 6 and9-hour photoperiods. The 3 and 12-hour photoperiods alsoinduced flowering but it was much less. Photoperiod of15-hours could not induce any flowering and the specieswas found to be obligatory short-day plant. Plants required71.50, 54.75, 58.50 and 66.50 days to commence the floweringin 3, 6, 9 and 12-hour photoperiods respectively. The 9-hour photoperiod was found to be ideal for grain oduction as itgave highest seed yield and the plants had optimum vegetative growth to support the reproductive structure. ,? The leaf composition in terms of Fe, P, K, crude fibre, crude protein, #-carotene and ascorbic acid was found to have some influence of photoperiod. Lai Rajgira was found to bea good source of these nutritionally important components.|
