Teiresias: prophet of Thebes who retained his prescience after death
Anticleia: Odysseus' mother
Agamemnon: commander of the Greek forces at Troy
Achilles: greatest hero of the Trojan War
Ajax Telamonius: burly hero of the Trojan War
Odysseus departed from Aeaea and sailed to the ends of the earth in search of Hades' realm. Passing through the realm of the Cimmerians, which the sun never illuminates Odysseus and his men arrived on the outskirts of Hades' kingdom. They disembarked and prepared a drink offering for the dead spirits in a shallow pit. Following Circe's instructions perfectly, Odysseus attracted the spirits of the dead with the blood of sacrificed animals. While keeping the spirits away with his sword until Teiresias' arrival, Odysseus met the spirit of Elpenor. Elpenor explained that he was only a shadowy image of his former self, and begged Odysseus to bury him when his ship returned to Aeaea. Odysseus agreed to do so.
Teiresias appeared and warned Odysseus to keep his men away from the cattle of Helius on the isle of Thrinacea. If Odysseus failed to do so, his companions would perish, and he himself would return home in a stranger's ship after enduring much hardship. Teiresias also informed Odysseus of the future adventures he would undergo after he had returned home and established order in his household. Teiresias finally explained to Odysseus that he could converse with any spirits whom he allowed to drink of his blood offering.
After Teiresias departed into the shadows, Odysseus spoke with his mother, Anticleia. Anticleia told him of matters at home, and that she had died in her longing for him. When he had finished speaking with his mother, Odysseus began to interview the spirits of deceased queens whom Persephone, queen of the Underworld, sent to greet Odysseus. Among the queens he met was Tyro, the grandmother of Nestor, who lay secretly with Poseidon to conceive Nestor's father, Neleus. He also met Epikaste, the mother of Oedepodes, who slew his father and married his mother. (These became Jocasta and Oedipus in Sophocles' tragedy, Oedipus Rex.)
Odysseus also met Nestor's mother, Chloris, whose daughter Pero's hand was sought by the prophet, Melampous. Neleus had sent Melampous to steal Iphicles' cattle as a gift to win Pero, but Iphicles captured Melampous and forced him to prophesy for a full year before he released the augur.
Odysseus met Leda, mother of Castor and Polydeuces. He also saw Iphimedeia, whose enormous children Otus and Ephialtes threatened the gods themselves until they were slain by Apollo. Among others met by Odysseus was Ariadne, the doomed lover of Theseus.
In the midst of the catalog, Odysseus suddenly brings his tale to a halt. Tired, he entreats the Phaeaceans to allow him to sleep so that he might soon depart for Ithaca. Alcinoös and Arete, highly impressed by Odysseus' storytelling, tell him that the Phaeaceans will bestow even more treasure on their guest. Persuaded by the prospect of returning home with even further wealth, Odysseus agrees not to rush his homecoming. Alcinoös also induces Odysseus to continue his story.
Odysseus' tale resumes. After the queens' spirits departed, Odysseus was greeted by the spirit of Agamemnon himself. Agamemnon told Odysseus of his murder by Aegisthus and Clytemnestra; his wife had also personally slain the priestess Cassandra. Agamemnon then wished Odysseus luck on his own homecoming, envious that Penelope would be more faithful than Clytemnestra had been.
Odysseus next met Achilles and other deceased heroes from the Trojan conflict. Achilles asked for news of his family, and Odysseus informed the hero of his son Neoptolemus' bravery in battle. Achilles, satisfied with Odysseus' news, strode away with pride. Among the Greek heroes present in the crowd was Ajax Telamonius, who had slain himself after Thetis, Achilles' mother, had chosen Odysseus to receive her son's armor instead of the brawny...

Let the family know you are thinking of them
David L. Edwards, Sr., died Friday, January 20, 2023, at his home in the Southern Oaks Senior Living Community in Henderson, TN. He was 91 years old. David was born on August 7, 1931, to the late Charles Hannah Edwards and the late Mary Jane Locke Edwards in their home on South High Street in Columbia, TN. David was the youngest of eleven children.
David married Rachel Hubbell Edwards in 1953, and they made their home in Columbia, TN and were blessed with four children. David began working for the United States Postal service in 1954. He was also a part-time Allstate Insurance agent for many years, and Rachel was the bookkeeper for his insurance business. David retired from the United States Postal Service in 1984 after 30 years as a rural letter carrier. He was a member of Highland Church of Christ and later Graymere Church of Christ, both in Columbia, TN where he taught Bible classes for many years.
After Rachel's passing in 1978, David was blessed to marry Helen Hodges
Edwards, who supported him in continuing to raise his family. Following
retirement, David and Helen owned Rent-a-Tent in Columbia, TN and supplied many party tents for events in Maury County and beyond. In 1989, David and Helen officially retired and moved to Georgia and then later to Kentucky to provide leadership for small church families who could not afford a minister. They made many precious friends in Russellville, Guthrie, and Mt. Vernon, Kentucky.
After Helen's death in 2000, David was blessed to meet and marry another precious Christian lady, Hazel Nale Edwards. David and Hazel made their home in Clarksville, Tennessee and enjoyed their golden years together. Following Hazel's passing in 2000, David moved to west Tennessee to make his home close to his daughters.
After moving to west Tennessee, David became a member of the Stantonville Church of Christ and enjoyed the daily activities at the Selmer Senior Center where he secured precious and fun friendships. After deciding to make his home at Southern Oaks Senior Living Community, his ability to make friends and influence others at age 90 was still going strong. David loved playing Bingo on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and found a strong purpose by leading the daily devotionals for the other residents at 10:00 every morning. He enjoyed the holiday parties and outings and was loved deeply by his Southern Oaks family. David had a strong affection for reading and teaching the Bible and was also an avid lover of ice cream, both traits learned from his beloved mother. He loved to grocery shop and cook, and family mealtime was of the utmost importance to him as he shared his culinary creations and interesting conversations with many family members and friends throughout his life.
David loved and served his country for seven and half years in the United States Army and the United States Air Force. While serving in Japan, he learned to speak Japanese and also was taught how to cook many delicious dishes with Sukiyaki being his family's favorite. In the summer of 2022, a ceremony was held to award David the Ambassador for Peace Medal by the Republic of Korea for his service during the Korean War. He was especially honored by the handmade quilt gifted to him by the Veterans Administration in Selmer, TN and was thankful for the
opportunities to share his military stories and experiences in programs at Southern Oaks.
Survivors include his daughters: Mary Ruth (Ed) Campbell, Martha (Bradley) Kelley, Sarah (Lee) Hibbett, and Lisa Fry Edwards (widow of David Edwards, Jr.) Granddaughters: Anne (Josh) Love, Jessica Edwards, Elisabeth (Tucker) Campbell, and Rachel Grace Hibbett. Great-grandson: Mack Love. David had a deep pride in and enjoyed his visits with his numerous nieces and nephews. He also treasured the special relationships he shared with members of Helen Hodges Edwards' family.
In addition to his three wives, he was also preceded in death by his parents, his son: David L. Edwards, Jr., a grandson: Brandon Kelley, and his siblings: Henry Edwards, Maxie Edwards, Floy Edwards Troope, Rebecca Edwards Fraser, Shadden Edwards, Ralph Edwards, Carl Edwards, Gertrude Edwards Marshock, Kenneth Edwards, and Charles Edwards.
The service for David L. Edwards, Sr. will be conducted Friday, January 27, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. at Oakes & Nichols Funeral Home in Columbia, Tennessee, with burial to follow in Polk Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends beginning at noon. Condolences may be extended online at www.oakesandnichols.com.
Pallbearers will be Ernie Allen, Jr., Ed Campbell, Tucker Campbell, Doug
Edwards, Tony Edwards, Lee Hibbett, Bradley Kelley, Josh Love, and Paul Love.
A true southern gentleman, a servant of the Lord, a loving family man, a loyal worker, a man above men, and a member of the greatest generation, the world was a better place for 91 years because of the life of David Lee Edwards, Sr.

so I tweeted a PCjs link to a "live" demo of the program, which you can also see in operation below.
comes with a few caveats. First of all, it doesn't quite live up to the animated image that was included with the tweet, but it's still cute.
Second, it's dependent on some register entry conditions that are true only for very specific versions of DOS. It expects the SI register to contain 0x100 and the Carry, Parity, Auxiliary Carry, Zero, and Sign flags to all be clear. This handy table of initial register values shows the pitfalls of such an assumption: for example, the program won't work on any version of DOS < 2.00. I've also tested it on PC DOS 3.00, where it fails because several of the arithmetic flags are not clear. It's also not initializing the Direction flag, and if that flag happened to be set "down" instead of "up", the program would effectively do nothing; STOSW would modify the same word repeatedly.
Third, if the program is loaded with DEBUG, most of the initial register values are completely different. DEBUG typically sets AL/AH to drive error codes (depending on whether the 2nd and 3rd command-line parameters are filenames), BX:CX to the size of the program, and SP to 0xFFFE (or the top of available memory minus 2). It also clears the DX, BP, SI, DI, and Flags registers, and since this program assumes SI will contain a non-zero value (0x100), it is incompatible with DEBUG.
Fourth, the program is writing through an entire 64K range starting at physical address 0xAB9F0 and ending at 0xBB9EF, so if there are any memory-mapped devices or UMBs in that range (other than the usual MDA or CGA text-mode frame buffers), something bad could happen.
The requirement that all the arithmetic flags be clear insures that AH will contain 0x02 after the LAHF instruction. Why doesn't LAHF set AH to 0x00 instead? Because bit 1 of the Flags register is always set (it can't be cleared), and LAHF loads all the low Flags bits into AH. Intel's documentation says that Flags bits 1, 3, and 5 are "undefined", but that simply means Intel preferred to not say anything about them. The reality is that bit 1 is always set and bits 3 and 5 are always clear.
And the value 0x02 is important, because it's used as a video attribute byte, where bits 0-3 define a character's foreground color (2 is green) and bits 4-7 define its background color (0 is black).
but which requires that CH be zero on entry. This version is slower, because it's writing to every character cell on the screen, instead of every other cell, but it has a similar effect, because every odd write is using the value from CX, which contains a zero attribute in CH (black on black), making the pseudo-random character value in CL irrelevant.


Message #1 Posted by Nawus on 25 May 2002, 11:12 p.m.
I've recently switched back to my 12C after using the 17BII for mortgage calculations. While I use the solver to program the Canadian mortgage factor in the 17BII, there is no solver in the 12C. Any idea how I can do this on my 12C? Thanks in advance for any response.
The 12C is programmable. You may not be able to accomplish the Solver-type user interface, but if you know the algorithm, you should be able to write a program to do it.
Your question rang a bell in my memory - I looked in the various manuals I have for anything to do with Canadian finances. The HP10B manual, on page 105, tells exactly how to do it on a 10B, which has an interest rate conversion function which doesn't seem to be on the 12C. You convert the nominal rate to an effective rate based on the two compounding periods per year used in Canada. Then you convert that effective rate back to a nominal rate which the book calls a "Canadian mortgage factor", by specifying 12 payments per year. Then the calculated nominal rate makes the TVM function give the correct results. In the example, a 12% nominal rate at two compounding periods per year gives 12.36% effective rate, which at 12 payments per year gives 11.71% Canadian mortgage factor. The HP12C manual has a section on interest rate conversions on pages 179-181. It shows how to do conversions from nominal rate to effective rate and vice-versa, manually and with a program.
This is not my area of expertise, but I hope these pointers help you. You might want to get a 10B, I got mine at WalMart for about $15 clearance price.
I found an interesting page for you at here .
I will develop this more practically on my web site page and as soon as it's updated I'll meil you the html code.
As I'm not very familiar with this all I need to know is what kind of rate is given by the financial institutions : is it annual, semi-annual or monthly ?
I've just calculated for you the formula.
The Canadian mortgages are actualized on a semi-annual basis on the "yield" rate given, while the American mortgages are calculated on a monthly basis on the given "yield".
Just note that, as demonstrated, the American financial institutions are the most greedy, the Canadian far less. The law in France and Belgium oblige the banks and other lenders to show the APR, which makes all offers more comparable.
So what you actually need is to convert a) the canadian yield into APR b) this APR into the american yield to use correctly your 12C with Canadian mortgages.
There are several way of doing this, including the financial solver of the 12C, what I don't recommend because you may by mistake forget one value of this conversion in the financial registers and use it your final calculation. One really has to be very careful with financial calculations. It's amazing to see how simple maths (+,-,*,/ and ^) can become so complicated.
So, let's calculate the APR (i'll call it 'i') for the canadin mortgage.
Now we've got this, we need to convert the APR into a monthly capitalized rate, to get the value to be inputed into the i variable of your 12C, as it uses the american annuity formula.
Don't forget in these formulas to key in percentages in real values, ie 12% = .12, or it won't work !
Thanks Thibaut and Ellis for your assistance. I will try out the formula and report back. Also found a similar method on the hp site which I'm trying out as well.

US announces intent to withdraw from global postal pact
17 Oct, 2018 | 15:13
Author Evan Fallor
Most of the Trump administration's trade actions against China have come in the form of tariffs, but Washington took a different approach Oct. 17, announcing its intent to withdraw from a 144-year-old global postal agreement that U.S. officials say unfairly benefits Beijing and puts American shippers at a disadvantage.
In a statement, the White House said that the U.S. State Department will file notice to withdraw from the Universal Postal Union, or UPU, a pact that provides a subsidy for foreign shippers, including those from China. Opponents of the arrangement, including the Trump administration, say the deal provides international companies much lower rates than what U.S. companies pay for the same service, effectively putting domestic interests at a disadvantage.
President Donald Trump said he "concurs" with the State Department's recommendation to adopt self-declared rates "as soon as practical," but no later than Jan. 1, 2020. The notice begins a one-year withdrawal process.
However, the administration said it would engage in bilateral and multilateral negotiations with UPU signatories and left the door open to remain in the agreement should the talks prove fruitful.
"If negotiations are successful, the administration is prepared to rescind the notice of withdrawal and remain in the UPU," the statement read.
The intent to withdraw was applauded by the National Association of Manufacturers, or NAM, a trade group that called the UPU an "anti-U.S. manufacturer subsidy" that China receives from the U.S. Postal Service, or USPS.
The USPS did not immediately return a request for comment.
"This outdated arrangement contributes significantly to the flood of counterfeit goods and dangerous drugs that enter the country from China," said Jay Timmons, NAM's president and CEO, in a statement. "Manufacturers and manufacturing workers in the United States will greatly benefit from a modernized and far more fair arrangement with China."
NAM said the USPS lost about $170 million due to the subsidy in the last fiscal year, adding that it believes the figure could increase by 40% annually as more purchases are made online.
In an Aug. 23 memo to the U.S. Departments of State, Treasury and Homeland Security as well as the Postmaster General and the Chairman of the Postal Regulatory Commission, Trump said that UPU rates are less than comparable domestic postage rates, which he said "distorts the flow of small packages around the world by incentivizing the shipping of goods from foreign countries that benefit from artificially low reimbursement rates."
The union, established in 1874 and now an agency of the United Nations based in Switzerland, was established to coordinate postal policies among its 192 member states.
The Trump administration has already taken aggressive economic measures against China for what it says are Beijing's market-distorting practices, following a Section 301 investigation by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. The White House has imposed tariffs of 10% to 25% on $250 billion of imports from China, and Trump has stated his intent to impose tariffs on a further $267 billion of Chinese goods.

Tomorrow: Windy & milder. Sun & clouds. Near 50.
Sunday: Early showers, then clearing. Low 50s.
Another unseasonably mild January weekend is on the way to New England. A gusty southwest wind will push high temperatures on Saturday into the 50s for many across Southern New England. Even farther north in ski country temperatures will spike into the 40s.
A cold front then drops in from north to south on Saturday night, first bringing a few extra clouds and a few spot showers to Northern New England.
The front arrives in Southern New England on Sunday, meaning much of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island will begin with clouds and a few showers. Temperatures will still be near 50 in these areas though.
In Northern New England temperatures will be in the 30s and 40s, a bit cooler since the front will already have moved through those areas.
Even in Southern New England temperatures will fall a bit during the afternoon as cool air returns, but partial sunshine will also redevelop.
That same front then stalls offshore early next week, becoming the focus of a ballooning coastal storm.
While the exact track of the storm remains a bit uncertain, it's likely to pass close enough to bring at least some snow to New England. The odds of accumulation would be highest south and east of Boston.
If the storm continues to track west we can expect more impacts, and more snow, from this storm. A track farther east would result in fewer impacts.

Online student monitoring: remote supervisors and other technologies to prevent cheating on assessments
By CAPosts 04 May, 2020 - 12:02pm 622 views

the coronavirus changed, within a few weeks, the daily routine of billions of people worldwide. One such change was the acceleration of digitization in multiple areas, including in schools. Remote education was implemented with quarantine.
While in many corners of the world, the digital format was more or less implemented, which was optional and confined to certain issues, it became a quasi-massive practice.
Educational platforms and videocalls applications began to be implemented, like never before, but that's not all: also started to grow the use of students' remote monitoring systems when they take exams. They are programs known as online supervisors (online proctors) that began to experience a spike in popularity, in some countries such as the United States.
These systems, which are contracted by schools and universities, seek to ensure that the student does not cheat during the evaluation. For this purpose they use technologies such as facial recognition, to verify the identity of the user, as well as eye tracking: it could be considered that the student would be considered that the student spends a lot of time with the view off the screen.
In addition, the (human) supervisor who is continuously online, assisting in this monitoring, may require students to pan, with the camera of the device they are using, to verify that there is no other in the room providing them with help.
ProctorU is one of the monitoring systems that are being used today. When starting a test with this tool, the students have to identify themselves, show the room where they are and the desktop to show that they have no items in sight to cheat.
ProtoctorU, one of the digital solutions that offer monitoring during online evaluation.
In the remote supervisor will also be listening through the student's microphone to make sure he doesn't seek to ask for help down that path . The supervisor also has access to the student's screen and receives alerts when the person opens a browser tab to, for example, search for exam responses or opens a window with the answers and looks to copy and paste that information into the assessment.
Not only do they verify the student's identity with the ID and facial recognition system, but they also use a typing test: a student may be asked to write 140 words at the beginning of the semester. With this data, the student is then asked just before the test to perform that same test to check the speed and rhythms of the student's keystrokes. Any discrepancies can be marked for closer inspection, as explained in an article from the Washington Post where this software was analyzed in detail.
Examity also offers services of this type and also experienced great growth in the last time: it went from having 10 online supervisors in 2014 and having more than a thousand today. To use this platform, students must have a computer with a working webcam, a stable Internet connection and make sure they are in a room where they can take the test alone, without interference or help from outside.
Regarding how the team of supervisors is integrated, the page mentions that they are people with communication skills, technical knowledge, as well as university professionals. "Each exam supervisor has been interviewed by a member of the senior management team," he or she is mentioned on the site, implying that there is an individual selection process.
Honorlock is another company that offers exam monitoring solutions. In addition to having an online supervisor and many of the aforementioned technology, a mentions that an artificial intelligence system listens to keywords to identify "possible acts of dishonesty", in which case the online supervisor is alerted to intervene at the moment.
ProctorTrack also integrates computer vision and offers biometric multi-factor authentication to log in as well as continuous facial recognition throughout the process.
Why the vu company, focused on fraud prevention and identity protection, offers a combination of machine learning and biometria to facilitate online exam-taking. The company offers a solution that allows the student to prove that they are in front of the screen through facial recognition. With any device that has a camera, the system can corroborate in real time if it is in front of the monitor performing the exam and is who it claims to be, it stands out in the statement disseminated by the company.
In addition, it is possible to present with the same mechanism or, by using unique security codes, also known as mobile tokens, as the second factor of authentication.
In addition to the use of video calls, the use of different student monitoring tools began to grow when conducting assessments (REUTERS/Albert Gea/File Photo)
Beneffectials and Challenges
These online monitoring systems seek to respond to a current problem: monitor remote assessments. One of the great challenges of such solutions is to take strategies to take care of the security and privacy of the data that is exchanged in that way. All companies ensure that mechanisms are in place to take care of these aspects.
But as you always know, nothing in the digital environment is 100% foolproof. Saber this is necessary to take precautions that go beyond the software itself that is used and that have to do with keeping the devices up to date, download apps only from official stores and employ second factor of authentication in all accounts, whenever possible. As you know: security not only uses a reliable infrastructure, but also of having a consicent user who knows how to handle it in the digital environment.
The other aspect of this type of software is the stress that can generate in some students who may feel invaded by this type of software. In an article by The Verge ifs collect testimonials that account for this. There it is mentioned that the online supervisor experience monitoring every movement that is made for many students is an "uncomfortable" or "intrusive" experience. the Washington Post article earlier also includes testimonies to this effect, such as from a student who preferred to stop taking the exam and abandon the subject matter he was taking, to allow a monitoring system to access his computer remotely to supervise him, on the grounds that he was giving up too much freedom in pursuit of this situation.

Potassium-induced cortical spreading depression bilaterally suppresses the electroencephalogram but only ipsilaterally affects red blood cell velocity in intraparenchymal capillaries

Department of Internal Medicine
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is a repetitive, propagating profile of mass depolarization of neuronal and glial cells, followed by sustained suppression of spontaneous neuronal activity. We have reported a long-lasting suppressive effect on red blood cell (RBC) velocities in intraparenchymal capillaries. Here, to test the hypothesis that the prolonged decrease of RBC velocity in capillaries is due to suppression of neuronal activity, we measured CSD-elicited changes in the electroencephalogram (EEG) as an index of neuronal activity. In isoflurane-anesthetized rats, DC potential, EEG, partial pressure of oxygen (PO2), and cerebral blood flow (CBF) were simultaneously recorded in the temporo-parietal region. The velocities of fluorescently labeled RBCs were evaluated by high-speed camera laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy with our original software, KEIO-IS2. Transient deflection of DC potential and PO2 and increase of CBF were repeatedly detected only in the ipsilateral hemisphere following topical KCl application. On the other hand, the relative spectral power of EEG was reduced bilaterally, showing the lowest value at 5 min after KCl application, when the other parameters had already returned to the baseline after the passage of CSD. Mean RBC velocity in capillaries was slightly but significantly reduced during and after passage of CSD in the ipsilateral hemisphere but did not change in the contralateral hemisphere in the same rats. We suggest that mass depolarization of neuronal and glial cells might transiently decelerate RBCs in nearby capillaries, but the sustained reduction of ipsilateral RBC velocity might be a result of the prolonged effect of CSD, not of neuronal suppression alone.

The NILS: Present Opportunities and Future Prospects After 2011
Shuttleworth, I. (2011) Census 2011: impact and potential - Exploring the research potential of the 2011 Census, University of Manchester, UK, 7 - 8 July 2011 [NILS]
The presentation briefly describes the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study (NILS) environment (eg research support, sample size, data linkages, policy linkages, scope), examines the current research opportunities it provides, and looks ahead to prospects for work using the NILS in the next decade. Selected projects are used to illustrate its potential and use to date. The policy impact of the NILS in government since its foundation is also discussed. The inception and growth of the NILS is set in the context of ESRC investment in longitudinal studies in the UK and current ESRC research priorities. The NILS is also compared and contrasted with the other UK LSs to highlight the unique contribution it is placed to make. Future development plans (eg further possible data linkages) for the NILS after 2011 are discussed with reference to the evolving picture in the UK. Finally, some ideas are also set out as to how the NILS might be used in the next decade to benefit Northern Ireland and UK academic and policy research agendas.

The Pass Christian Isles Golf Course was incorporated in 1952 and completed in 1953. The Timber Ridge Community, which surrounds the golf course, did not see many residential building until the early 70's with the Timber Ridge Property Owners Association being formed in 1975 and Timber Ridge being annexed into the City of Pass Christian in 1985. Hurricane Katrina destroyed most of Pass Christian and Timber Ridge, August of 2005, but residents quickly rebuilt, to date there are over 550 homes as of 2013.


TCP port 56713 uses the Transmission Control Protocol. TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, it requires handshaking to set up end-to-end communications. Only when a connection is set up user's data can be sent bi-directionally over the connection.
Attention! TCP guarantees delivery of data packets on port 56713 in the same order in which they were sent. Guaranteed communication over TCP port 56713 is the main difference between TCP and UDP. UDP port 56713 would not have guaranteed communication as TCP.
UDP on port 56713 provides an unreliable service and datagrams may arrive duplicated, out of order, or missing without notice. UDP on port 56713 thinks that error checking and correction is not necessary or performed in the application, avoiding the overhead of such processing at the network interface level.

STROOM legislative proposal: better connection to the future energy market?
What is STROOM?
Many changes are taking place in the energy market, for example smart meters, sustainable energy (including wind at sea), local production and European regulations. The current Dutch Electricity Act and Dutch Gas Act are being combined into one law to ensure that the legislation is also aligned to these changes. This transition is being implemented in the STROOM project. But what steps will the STROOM project take to achieve a better connection to the future energy market?
In 2011, the Ministry of Economic Affairs launched the legislative agenda known as STROOM. The aim of this project is to evaluate the Electricity and Gas Acts, implementing the 2011 Energy Report, the second Rutte cabinet agreement and the Energy Agreement concluded in 2013 by the Social and Economic Council of the Netherlands (SER).
STROOM stands for STReamlining, Optimising and Modernising.
Streamlining: bringing Dutch and European legislation into line with each other. The Dutch gas market is part of the European Internal Energy Market (IEM). The rules that are drafted in Brussels for the IEM are therefore also directly applicable to the Dutch market. In the interests of market parties, these rules need to be adopted (by all member states) as seamlessly as possible. The current Electricity and Gas Act is still focussing on the liberalisation phase.
Optimising: Following the evaluation of the Electricity and Gas Act performed in 2012 (by the Dutch Authority for Consumers & Markets (ACM)) consideration was given to how administrative burdens for market parties, government and regulator could be alleviated in the new legislation.
Modernising: implementing recently adopted legislation and generally preparing the legislation for a (sustainable) future. This means focussing more specifically on decentralised sustainable energy generation as agreed in the SER energy agreement.
Legislation review
The project ultimately resulted in a proposal to revise the legislation. This legislative proposal was published on the internet on 31 July 2014 for consultation purposes and deals with the substance of a few topics including organisation and duties for system operators and tariff regulation. The other subject areas contained by the Electricity and Gas Act have been transposed in a policy-neutral manner, which means that there is no change in their substance. Interested parties had until 8 September 2014 to make their views on this proposal known. The thinking behind this is that, with input from interested parties, the legislative proposal will be properly aligned to the energy market.
The new Electricity and Gas Act will now represent the framework of the legislation more than the current Gas Act. The contents of the act will be defined in greater detail by means of an order in council (AMvB). This order in council will be developed over the coming months and is expected to be finalised by early 2015. The aim is to submit the legislative proposal to the Dutch Lower Chamber during the first half of 2015 so that it can be effective from 1 January 2016.
What is actually changing?
Because many of the chapters from the (current) Gas Act are not affected by the new legislative proposal, in many areas there are no substantive changes. For those chapters, however, provisions from the (current) Electricity Act and (current) Gas Act are combined as far as possible, in areas such as consumer protection, programme responsibility and implementation of and supervision of the law. As the new legislative proposal consists of a framework act with an underlying order in council, each party should not look at the act alone but should also study more closely the detailed rules laid down in the order in council.
The chapters relating to the role, duties and competences of system operators (regional and national) have, in particular, been adapted as regards content. Some aspects that may also affect companies and private individuals:
If an area is designated as being 'all electric', then a (gas) system operator is no longer obliged to provide connections or transport in that area. This was already provided for in an order in council but is laid down more clearly in the new act.
Another change relates to how gas connections for large-scale connections are carried out. This responsibility will be placed with the transmission system operator again, due to safety aspects and gas quality aspects. This shift in responsibility had been requested by large-scale customers.
Given the current gas market developments, GasTerra endorses the need for modernising the Electricity and Gas Act. As a member of Energy Netherlands (VEN), GasTerra has already reacted against the restrictions to objecting to ACM code decisions (these are the decisions responsible for setting transport tariffs). The substance of this topic has not yet been addressed in the current legislative proposal. This will take place in the next phase of the STROOM process (due to start in summer 2015). It will then be important for market parties to keep an eye on the exact contents of the legislative proposal concerning this topic.
More detailed rules than those contained in the current Gas Act are also being set out in an order in council. The contents of this order in council are being defined at present, leading to uncertainty about the exact contents of the new law.

© Springer International Publishing AG 2017. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is an emerging trend that is being adopted by an increasing number of organisations due to the benefits it provides in terms of cost efficiency, employee productivity, and staff morale. However, organisations who could benefit from implementing BYOD remain sceptical, due to the increasing threats and vulnerabilities introduced by mobile technology, which are amplified due to the human element (insider threats, non-security savvy employees). In this context, this paper investigates the application of human factor techniques to the BYOD scheme of an anonymised, real-life organisation (referred to as "Globex"). Questionnaires and Interactive Management are two Human Factor methods used in this case study to help determine areas for improvement. Results from the experiment highlight an issue with employee satisfaction towards their employers' BYOD scheme, which could negatively impact their organisational culture. The paper concludes with recommendations for additional information within the BYOD policy and the review of reimbursement eligibility and entitlements.

Shares in Vertex Pharmaceuticals have soared 54% on data from a mid-stage trial of its investigational cystic fibrosis drug VX-661, in combination with its already-approved treatment Kalydeco.
Results from a Phase II study of VX-661 and Kalydeco (ivacaftor) showed that the combo resulted in statistically significant improvements in lung function among adults with CF who have two copies of the most common mutation in the F508del gene, the most common genetic abnormality that causes the disorder.
Specifically, patients in the 100 and 150 mg combination dose groups showed statistically significant mean relative improvements in lung function, versus placebo, of 9.0% and 7.5%, respectively, at day 28. In contrast, patients who received placebo showed a 0.03% change.
VX-661 was generally well-tolerated, both as monotherapy and in combination with Kalydeco. Vertex said that it plans to conduct additional studies of the drug to further evaluate its potential for late-stage development, pending regulatory discussions.
Peter Mueller, Vertex chief scientific officer, said the study "provides further validation of the strategy of combining a corrector [VX-661] and potentiator to improve lung function in people with the most common type of CF. He added that "with these data and the recent initiation of a Phase III programme for a combination of our lead cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) corrector VX-809 with ivacaftor, we are making significant progress toward our goal to help many more people with CF."
Kalydeco is currently approved use in patients aged six and over who have the G551D mutation in the CFTR gene. There are estimated to be around 2,000 such patients worldwide, out of 70,000 sufferers worldwide, while about half of all CF patients have two faulty copies of the F508del gene.

Characters: The Amazing 3
Bonnie Bunny ⊕ Major Boko ⊕
Ronnie Horse ⊕ Lance Corporal Noko ⊕
Kenny Carter ⊕ Shinichi Hoshi ⊕ Zero Duck ⊕ Lieutenant J.G. Polo ⊕
Randy Carter ⊕ Secret Agent Koichi Hoshi ⊕
Description: The Amazing 3
Under the orders of Galactic Control, a space saucer lands on Earth. In that saucer (Patrol A3)- three superior beings from outer space named "THE AMAZING 3", who were sent to Earth to help achieve law and order. When they land on Earth, a huge vacuum cleaner attached to their ship sucks up 3 animals; a duck, a horse and a bunny. The Amazing 3 take over these bodies to be used as a disguise, to decide if the war-hungry Earth is a threat to the rest of the galaxy and should be destroyed or not.
The bunny was named Captain Bonnie. She was the leader of the group. She was the sensible one and had a cute voice, a big fluffy tail, and long pointy ears. The duck was named Lieutenant Zero and was the aggressive one always wanting to blow Earth up. The horse was named Corporal Ronnie and was always making contraptions such as an autopictograph where pictures were put into a machine and would come to life. Kenny Carter was a boy who knew the secret of The Amazing 3, and when in great danger called on his secret agent older brother, Randy Carter, to help. He worked for the Phoenix Bureau of Peace Enforcement. This organisation was the greatest crime-fighting agency in the world. His code name was P77.
The Amazing 3 regularly signed in and gave reports about earth to Galactic Control, and after 12 months the members of the Galactic League, representing all advanced planets of space, analysed the reports and voted to destroy Earth. It was Kenny Carter, however, who was taken to The Amazing 3's planet and who convinced them that earthlings love each other, so they delayed their decision to blow up Earth until Kenny was older.
Kenny and The Amazing 3 travelled around in a huge wheel. The Amazing 3 was called "Wonder 3" in Japan. 52 episodes were made. It was created by Osamu Tezuka (Kimba and Astroboy) through his own production company- Mushi Productions. It was released in Japan in 1965 and was shown on Melbourne TV in April 1969 at 4pm on channel 9.
Like 8th man, Amazing 3 was also produced by Gene Prinz and his staff at Copri International. Reuben Guberman went on to work with producer Salvatore Billiteri (Prince Planet) writing the scripts as well as dubbing the occasional villain's voice on both Prince Planet and Johnny Sokko's "Flying Robot". Corinne Orr was not the voice of "Bonnie Bunnie" (this was reconfirmed by Corinne herself) as stated in many Anime history books. The actors hired to do the dubbing were thought to be lost to history until Andy Shepherd uncovered who they were. They were college students and local actors from Miami's little theatre.

Amazing 3 has not been released on video, as the existing 16mm prints as well as the audio tracks has been lost or destroyed in the US, but there could still be some in the archives of television stations or collectors' homes around the world. There seems to be no record of where the 16mm prints were distributed (production info from Andy Shepherd).

Australia passes first ever national waste legislation
Rachael Ridley
The new waste and recycling laws will ensure Australia takes greater responsibility for its waste by banning its export to other countries and boosting onshore recycling.
Under the newly passed Recycling Waste and Reduction Act 2020, the export of waste including plastics, glass, paper and tyres will be progressively banned over the next four years commencing 1st January 2021. Instead, the waste will be processed for recovery and recycling onshore, supporting our local recycling industry and providing more green jobs.
"The export ban sends a strong message that it is time to take responsibility for our waste, to seize the economic opportunities of transforming our recycling industry and to stop sending problem waste overseas," said Minister for the Environment, Sussan Ley.
The act will also support the recovery of materials that cannot be recycled through kerbside recycling, such as e-waste, soft plastics and coffee pods. The Government's Recycling Modernisation Fund will help build the infrastructure, facilities and programs needed to recycle these materials so that they don't end up in landfill.
Manufacturers, retailers and industry groups will be encouraged to take greater responsibility for the end of life or their products by providing recycling options for their customers (these services are often referred to as product stewardship schemes). The legislation included a review of the Product Stewardship Act, with $20 million in funding announced earlier this year to expand existing stewardship schemes or develop new ones. Planet Ark will be one of the recipients of the grants, tasked with establishing a recycling scheme for coffee pods.
Planet Ark's CEO, Paul Klymenko, said the Recycling Waste and Reduction Act will help Australia reduce its environmental impact, as well as provide economic benefits.
"Not only will this boost our economy, it will make sure we're not losing valuable resources to landfill," Mr Klymenko said. He continued:
"What we need to throw in the bin is our current 'take-make-dispose' economic model. We need a 'circular economy' that mimics nature, where there is no such thing as waste. This legalisation will help ensure we see our 'waste' as resources that should be kept in circulation for as long as possible."
The act reflects the latest step taken under the National Waste Policy Action Plan 2019, which has set ambitious national targets for waste by 2030. These include:
Progressively banning the export of waste plastic, paper, glass and tyres, commencing January 2021
reducing total waste generated in Australia by 10% per person by 2030
an 80% average recovery rate from all waste streams by 2030
significantly increasing the use of recycled content by governments and industry
phasing out problematic and unnecessary plastics by 2025
halving the amount of organic waste sent to landfill by 2030
making comprehensive, economy-wide and timely data publicly available to support better consumer, investment and policy decisions
A thriving local recycling industry will have important economic and societal benefits that will hopefully assist Australia in its economic recovery. For every 10,000 tonnes of waste recycled, 9.2 full-time jobs are created compared with just 2.8 jobs when the same amount of waste is sent to landfill. The waste export ban is expected to see the Australian economy generate $1.5 billion in additional economic activity over the next 20 years.

Curtis Samuel
Curtis Samuel, WR (WAS)
No targets, only carries in win
Nov 28 12:53pm
Samuel wasn't targeted in Sunday's 19-13 win over Atlanta, finishing with four carries for 13 yards on a season-low 60 percent of snaps.
Samuel had season lows for targets and snap share the week before and went even lower against Atlanta, though he did take multiple carries for a fifth time in the past six games. He's seen four or fewer targets in five straight now, with his new role perhaps more conducive to team success but doing no favors for his fantasy value. While useful in real life as a dual threat, Samuel can't be relied on for much in fantasy at this point as the Commanders prepare for a Week 13 game against the Giants and then a late bye in Week 14.

The work behind my doctoral thesis has been focused on the study of reactivity of 3,5-dimethyl-4-nitroisoxazole. This compound shows a peculiar reactivity compared to other isoxazole derivatives due to the presence of the nitro group in 4-position. The chemical behavior of 3,5-dimethyl-4-nitroisoxazole has been extensively studied in the last decade with the development of important applications in pharmaceutical chemistry in the preparation of valuable biologically active compounds.
The investigation has been focused in the development of novel procedures for the electrophilic chlorination of 3,5-dimethyl-4-nitroisoxazole. We envisaged that the introduction of one or more chlorine atoms on the methyl group in 5-position of the nitroisoxazole core could bring to the formation of polyfunctional derivatives bearing multiple nucleophilic and electrophilic functionalities on the same molecule. The polyfunctional reactivity of these new type of isoxazole derivatives could then be exploited by means of different kind of reactions to produce important building blocks. In particular the use of 3-methyl-4-nitro-5- trichloromethylisoxazole in haloform-type reactions with different nucleophiles would produce 5-aminoisoxazoles via transition metal-free heteroaromatic amination. On the other hand, reaction of 3-methyl-4-nitro-5- chloromethylisoxazole with aldehydes and ketones would furnish α,β- epoxisoxazoles and α,β-epoxiesters through Darzens condensation. Moreover we decided to study the possibility of expanding the typical reactivity exhibited by the 4-nitroisoxazole core to other heterocyclic compounds like indoles in order to prepare valuable functionalized indoles.
Thus, the preparation of these new classes of isoxazole derivatives and their application in the development of novel chemical transformations could serve as new efficient methodologies in the synthesis of important bioactive compounds in different industrial pharmaceutical fields.

You have to buy the deeds from the online shop now, or from another player.
Thx m8 i might just do that , can someone tell me mby how much is the roi on one aud atm ?
Not true. 5k is enough to win it most days...If your avatar is due for a 5k hof, you are gonna get it no matter where you are. I won both prizes one day planet side with a Terramp 4. Just cuz claims are bigger in UG doesn't mean that you are going to get paid back more there than you are anywhere else when the game decides to pay you back.
25-35k will probably get main prize again, and that can be hit planeside just as easy...don't let the fact that UG "looks" like the best place fool you. The big hits come from there because the gamblers lose twice as fast there. And those big hits come from insane losses incurred by the big gamblers, and not because it is the "best spot" for everyone.
Actually sunsout, if you do the geometry, you burn closer to 4x the probes in the UG. Since the radius is about half the normal radius it takes close to 4x probes to cover same area.
either way, good luck to everyone and weeee!!! my aud's will be paying premium for a bit here.
Let me edit to add: YES, those big jackpots you see, rarely are they really 'jackpots' they are more of an 'almost catch up' to what has already been dumped in.
Actually the radius is 40% of above ground, so it's a little over 6x.
Opening Post updated with clarification of exact start time in addition to date.
Do prizes get distributed daily or at the end of the event?
Yes, can we please get some info on this?
Also, as the event starts at 12:00 UTC, does this mean the cutoff for each day is @ 12:00 UTC or is it at the actual end of the day?
Does that mean I won for daily since top guy was a FOMA hof?
When do they announce the winners?
