Omicron is raging & families need support - Tell the U.S. Senate to pass Build Back Better NOW!
Just as families need support the most, monthly Child Tax Credit payments ended in December because Joe Manchin and the Republican Senators refused to pass Build Back Better.
Tell the U.S. Senate to Pass Build Back Better NOW!
Dear Rob,
Like many others, my 2022 is off to a rocky start. I am writing this as I scramble to find a COVID-19 test appointment for my feverish two-year-old and my son is home with his school closed.
I know I am far from alone. Families need a lifeline, but just when we need help the most, the U.S. Senate failed to act before the new year to extend the monthly Child Tax Credit payments and pass key policies like paid family and medical leave and child care that would have helped families, businesses, and our economy weather this COVID-19 surge.
It's a new year and Senators, we need new action – time to get to work for the American people! Join us in telling the U.S. Senate to vote YES and pass the Build Back Better Act which will save the Child Tax Credit, pass paid family and medical leave, and boost child care that helps children and families thrive!
Families cannot afford to wait a minute longer. Businesses cannot afford to wait any longer. Our nation cannot afford to wait any longer.
Omicron is wreaking havoc on families and in communities across the country – child care providers continue to be on the frontlines as they care for children who lack access to an approved COVID-19 vaccine and face historic staffing shortages as Omicron rages. This is happening at the same time that forced closures continue in child care settings, impacting parents and families health and ability to get to work. After all, we all know it can be next to impossible to be at work without access to child care – and also that child care providers need protections too. When you add the lack of paid leave to help ensure families can take care when sick and not lose critical income while isolating, it's a MESS.
And just as families need support the most, the monthly Child Tax Credit (CTC) payments ENDED in December because Democratic Senator Joe Manchin and the Republican Senators refused to pass Build Back Better, which would have extended it. With Omicron raging, it's more important than ever to pass the Build Back Better Act to extend the CTC, advance affordable child care and free Pre-K, guarantee paid family and medical leave, make home-and community-based services for the elderly and those with disabilities more affordable, pay care workers living wages and create good care jobs, lower the cost of insulin and other prescription drugs, make healthcare more affordable, and more.
Moreover, studies show the Build Back Better Act will be good for business and lower inflation by making sure that workers have the access to the child care, elder care, and paid family and medical leave they need to stay in their jobs, which will improve the supply chain issues that are causing inflation.
→ Tell the Senate to stand with families and vote YES for the Build Back Better Act.
Here's what's going on: Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, signed by President Biden in March, most families have been receiving monthly payments to help raise their kids in the form of the Child Tax Credit. How much money? For every child under the age of 6 families should have been receiving $300/month and for each child ages 6-17 families should have been receiving $250/month. Plus, now those of us who made little or no income in the past year have still been able to get the CTC! [1] That's some serious cash that has already done some serious good in helping our families make ends meet during this difficult time. And we've already seen in just a few months that these checks are reducing hunger and poverty for families across the country. [2] In fact, 2021 poverty rates are projected to fall to the lowest figures on record [3] – and this is particularly amazing given we are in the middle of a pandemic!
And there's more: Building off President Biden's Build Back Better plan, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a plan to extend the expanded CTC and ensure that low income families will ALWAYS have access to the benefit. It also includes key provisions like paid family and medical leave and affordable child care – all of which would be a lifeline to parents and families who are facing a particularly contagious variant of the COVID-19. BUT Senator Joe Manchin and Senate Republicans failed to act and locked families out of their monthly Child Tax Credit payments and critical policies that support families in good times and pandemic times, like paid family and medical leave and affordable child care and elder care.
Because the Senate failed to act, all the great improvements to the Child Tax Credit are going away, sending millions of children and families back into poverty, disproportionately impacting families of color. Moreover, failing to extend the CTC raises costs for families at a time when the U.S. and the world is fighting the super contagious Omicron valiant and inflationary pressures due to supply chain issues. [4] It's clear: The CTC expansion needs to be restored and we need to enact pro-family and pro-business policies like paid family and medical leave and affordable child care to lower family costs and weather this pandemic.
*We need your help to speak out! Please use your voice and sign our letter calling on the U.S. Senate to get back to work and restore the expanded Child Tax Credit by immediately passing the Build Back Better Act. And while we are at it, let them hear loud and clear that children and families need investments in the full suite of programs that allow families to thrive: paid family and medical leave, child care, lower drug prices and healthcare, home- and community-based services, and a pathway to citizenship.
Families have been rising to demand the change we deserve and Congress needs to step up and do their jobs for families across the country. We won't let Congress revoke the single largest reduction for child poverty – we demand they take action today!
Don't forget to sign on to tell Congress to pass Build Back Better to ensure a better future for our children and families!
Thank you for being a powerful voice for children and families,

A compilation of songs recorded before Madonna made it big. These songs all have a certain techno-pop feel to them, causing them to sound quite different from her original pop hits.
I'm Breathless (1990)
Although not as popular as her other albums, this soundtrack from the movie "Dick Tracy" has a definite old-fashioned style to it with songs such as Hanky Panky, He's A Man, Something To Remember, and the dance smash, Vogue.

Ray Of Light (1998)
This album, which was co-produced by William Orbit and is her seventh studio album, contains tracks with an ambient, eerie feeling to them.

Confessions On A Dance Floor (2005)
On this guilty pleasure album - her tenth studio album - Madonna returns unapologetically to her dance music roots. The music is both nostalgic and forward-reaching, blending musical styles with one foot in early disco and the other pointed toward the future.
Hard Candy (2008)
As Madonna's eleventh (and final) studio recording for Warner Bros., this album is a brilliant up-tempo collection that adds a hip-hop beat to her vast array of styles, thanks to collaborations with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, and Nate "Danja" Hills.
Celebration (2009)
Madonna gives her fans another chance to 'celebrate' her musical achievements with the release of her fourth compilation album. Besides including many of her hit songs, this album contains the previously unreleased songs Revolver and Celebration.
MDNA (2012)
MDNA is Madonna's twelfth studio album, and the first album not associated with Warner Bros. Records (her record label since 1982). This album has been met with mixed reviews, but contains some strong pieces, including the beautiful ballad Masterpiece, and the dance tracks Give Me All Your Luvin' and Girl Gone Wild. After debutting at number one, the album had the greatest one-week sales drop in the history of the charts.

Park Officials To Hikers: Share Your Plans With Friends & Family
By Dillon Thomas July 7, 2019 at 11:43 am
Filed Under:Colorado News, Rocky Mountain National Park
ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, Colo. (CBS4) – So far this summer, thousands have made their way to Rocky Mountain National Park where feet of late-season snow remain on many popular trails. Those conditions have proven to be dangerous which is why park officials urge hikers take caution.
(credit: CBS)
Just days before finding the body believed to be Micah Tice's, Rocky Mountain National Park search teams were looking for another many who they learned was missing.
A 51-year-old man from Louisiana was reported missing after his family said he didn't contact them.
"The last he was heard from was around 8 a.m. Monday. He spent two nights out unplanned," said Kyle Patterson, spokesperson for the park.
Like Tice, the park said the missing man did not tell his friends and family about the specific hiking plans they intended to make. After days of being unaccounted for, the park was notified of his status. They were able to narrow their search after locating his vehicle.
"We at least knew a general area that he was in," Patterson said.
Search teams by land, and by air, combed the area. Fortunately, the hiker was located alive. The park search teams believed he was disoriented and lethargic.
"This is a happy ending to a story of someone who probably got disoriented," Patterson said.
For those looking to head to Rocky Mountain National Park in the coming weeks, experts advised further preparation for any adverse conditions for the summer.
"It's winter like conditions above 10,000 feet. You have to realize, even though it is dry and sunny here, you might not be in these conditions if you are hiking at higher elevations," Patterson said.
The park officials said the search for both missing hikers could've been expedited and better executed if the hikers would have shared their plans for hiking with friends and family.

I can totally relate. I went to schools I could not afford and worked at the same time. My thinking was that I would be able to provide for my family better. I learned too late that working, period, would have been the best. My high school, the whole while, kept me in college prep, instead of the vocational school. So, in your opinion, who was wrong? Thank you for sharing your poems.

Montgomery man fighting deportation 8 years later
@MikeDeakMyCJ
SOMERVILLE – A man seeking to avoid deportation has won a new court hearing in the appeal of his conviction eight years ago of presenting false documents to the state Motor Vehicle Commission.
Omar Vargas-Avellan, 51, whose address is listed in court records as the Skillman section of Montgomery, is fighting the conviction on the grounds he was given "erroneous advice" by his lawyer about the possibility of deportation following his guilty plea.
Vargas-Avellan, who is not an American citizen, was born and raised in Costa Rica and came to the United States in 1995, according to court records.
He had no criminal record before his 2006 arrest for exhibiting a false document and impersonation. In May 2006, he pleaded guilty in Superior Court, admitting that he exhibited to the state Motor Vehicle Commission a fictitious driver's license with the name of Walter Colon Rodriguez.
Vargas-Avellan also admitted that he had purchased the personal information of Rodriguez, including his Social Security number and birth date, according to court papers.
Vargas-Avellan was sentenced to one year of probation.
Five years later, Vargas-Avellan filed for post-conviction relief, claiming that his attorney told him "not to worry about pleading guilty to the charges and that I could not be deported by pleading guilty in that the charges were misdemeanors and would not affect my immigration or result in my deportation."
When Vargas-Avellan's request for post-conviction relief was denied, he then appealed to a state Appellate Panel, which on Tuesday granted him an evidentiary hearing on the request in Superior Court.
The appellate panel ruled that a "hearing is warranted to resolve (Vargas-Avellan's) contentions that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by giving him misadvice concerning the immigration consequences of his guilty pleas."

9 Ways to Finally Quit!


Donald Trump belatedly weighed in on the rumbling row over White House press secretary Sarah Sanders' ejection from a restaurant in Virginia because she works for the president.
Sanders had tweeted that she had been asked to leave the Red Hen restaurant in Virginia on Friday night. Her reporting of the incident was criticised by ethics experts, who said she should not have used an official government account to personally condemn a private business.
Sanders addressed the incident at the start of Monday's White House press briefing and made a plea for civility. "We are allowed to disagree but we should be able to do so freely and without fear of harm, and this goes for all people regardless of politics," she said, reading from prepared remarks.
Actor Peter Fonda apologised last week for tweeting that Trump's 12-year-old son Barron Trump should be ripped from "his mother's arms and put in a cage with pedophiles" but it was unclear whom Sanders was alleging had threatened her own family. The member of Congress she referred to was Maxine Waters of California, who over the weekend called on supporters to publicly confront members of the Trump administration.
Sophie Wilkinson, the restaurant's owner, told the Washington Post that she asked Sanders to leave, saying the restaurant "has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty, and compassion, and cooperation".

We look back at the years between 2010 and 2016 (The lifespan of Meaningful Use) as a dark age in healthcare software.
It was an era where software companies bound by government mandate to churn out horrible software tried to pretend their products increased productivity. "Eligible" providers were brow-beaten to click buttons and fill forms, print things and perform medical decision making without being paid.
Some software companies were successful, in a financial sense, as their armies of sales experts and market segmenters conquered their unassuming customers, brandishing the sabre of "ONC-ACB certified". Those companies unwittingly managed to stamp out the potential of small physician offices, increasing consolidation to hospitals – and healthcare costs. Eventually, the ONC crest once emblazoned proudly on their chests, became a warning: "This software was designed for Meaningful Use, not Actual Use".
Linguistically, the term "Meaningful Use" became entwined with "Electronic Health Record". People forgot that medical software could improve patient care and not tout it's Meaningful Use certification. An effort was made to ridicule those who believed that government regulations were legitimately harmful to the healthcare industry. The sky was lassoed and we were pulling it down.
The tides did turn, however. Visionaries and industry leaders came to realize how harmful Meaningful Use was to innovation. Lawmakers were educated on how destructive constantly changing software and workflow requirements are to software development and medical workflow management.
The Meaningful Use tax on software companies and medical offices was lifted, allowing thousands of previously suppressed software providers to compete and distinguish themselves in a real market. Some features that were expected materialized: Usability, Interoperability, support services and cost decreases. Even previously unimagined features appeared.
Those leaders went on to invent a SomethingNew(TM). Like the word processor, the spreadsheet or the iPad, this SomethingNew was created that physicians didn't even know they needed. A new perspective on medical software was born. Indeed, the term "EHR" was retired as clinicians, politicians and developers realized how much more potential there is beyond "record keeping".
And all that was required for this medical software revolution was a rollback of a law. No major changes, no reform. Just a realization that a heavy hand will not allow this industry to thrive.
Now, we have our many NewThings(TM). We have NewCardiologyThings, and NewOncologyThings, lots of NewThings. Hospital-employed docs have been shown that it is financially possible to go back to private practice. There is renewed respect for the difficult decisions we entrust our physicians and nurses to make. Medicine became distributed, diverse, healthier.
Now that we have gotten rid of Meaningful Use, it is a good time to be a doctor. Let's thank those that came before us for rolling back Meaningful Use. Now.
Don't be crackin' on MY product!

U.S. Judge Martin Shkreli has been ordered to pay $ 64.6 million for his involvement in the drug industry.
Author: Diane Bartz, Jonathan Stempel
WASHINGTON () – On Friday, U.S. Judge Martin Shkreli was expelled from the pharmaceutical industry for life and forced to pay Daraprim $ 64.6 million for his efforts to block popular competitors by raising the price.
Martin Shkreli, a former head of a pharmaceutical company, and his attorney, Benjamin Brafman, were convicted of securities fraud and left the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, New York, on Aug. 4, 2017. / Carlo Allegri
U.S. Federal Trade Commission and seven-state Viera Pharmaceuticals founder Shkreli Daraprim has been sentenced by U.S. Manhattan District Judge Denis Cote, accusing him of using illegal tactics to drive competitors out of the market.
Shkreli rose to fame in 2015 after raising the price of Daraprim from $ 17.50 overnight to $ 750. The drug treats toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection that threatens people with weakened immune systems.
In a 130-page ruling, Kot accused Shkreli of creating two companies – Vyera and Retrophin Inc. – to monopolize drugs to benefit patients, doctors and distributors "behind the scenes".
He said the Daraprim scheme was "especially heartless and coercive" and that the industry should have been banned for life because of the "real danger" that Shkreli could become a repeat offender.
"Shkreli's anti-competitive behavior, which was detrimental to his health, was rude and reckless," the judge wrote. "He does not repent. Depriving him of the opportunity to repeat this behavior is nothing if it is not in the interest of justice. "
Neither Shkreli's lawyers nor the FTC responded immediately to requests for comment. There was a trial without a judge last month.
Shkreli is serving a seven-year prison sentence for securities-related fraud. He did not attend the trial.
Viera was founded in 2014 as Turing Pharmaceuticals and in 2015 acquired Daraprim from Impax Laboratories Inc.
Regulators have accused Vyera of defending Daraprim's superiority by ensuring that generic drug manufacturers can't get samples for cheaper versions and keeping potential competitors out of purchasing the main ingredient.
Among the seven states involved in the FTC case were California, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

HeizSolar – Model-Based Analysis of Measurement Data from Solar Active Buildings
Duration: September 2010 - August 2015
Contracting Authority/ Sponsors: German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), Forschungszentrum Jülich
Project Partners: Solar- und Wärmetechnik Stuttgart, Technische Universität Ilmenau, Sonnenhaus-Institut e.V

Cost-optimized design of a typical solar active house.
Cost-optimal dimensioning of a typical solar-active-building.
The European Union (EU) requests in the Building Directive 2010 nearly zero-energy buildings as standard for new constructions starting from 2020. As alternative to a significant reduction in the building heat requirements, fossil energy sources assessed as unfavorable primary energy, can also be replaced by an increased portion of renewable energies. Solar active houses are lowest energy buildings, where more than 50 % of the heat required for room and drinking water heating is produced from solar thermal energy. Project "HeizSolar" comprehensively investigated and measured nine solar active houses representing the current market and determined optimization potentials using simulations.
Solar active houses distinguish themselves by good heat insulation, a large collector area, and large heat storage. The concept is based on solar heat generation in the heating period. In the single-family house, typical solar thermal fractions of approx. 60 % can be realized with a relatively small storage of a few cubic meters of water. With respect to the heating requirement in the core winter, these only represent weekly storage devices. However, large solar fractions of more than 90 % require a seasonal storage of solar heat generated during summer until the core winter, and an approx. 10 times larger storage volume.
The optimization based on simulation calculations focuses on a yield- and cost-optimized ratio of building efficiency, collector area, and storage volume, the identification of efficient system hydraulics as well as efficiency increase through optimized operational management. In the graph, the simulated solar thermal fractions are presented using the background color depending on the collector area and storage volume for a typically dimensioned single-family building with heat insulation properties according to KfW55/EnEV2014 located in Passau. For this design and a solar thermal fraction of 60 %, it is shown that a storage volume of 4.2 m³ and an aperture area of the collectors of 27 m² cause yearly additional costs of approx. 2 EUR per square meter of usable area. The additional costs are here calculated for a realization of the building enclosure per EnEV 2014 and the use of a gas condensing boiler heating system with solar-thermally supported drinking water generation. If the current funding requirements of the BAFA are considered in the calculation, this results in a cost advantage compared to the reference system technology. Further information can be found in the final report and in the reports for the measured and investigated buildings.

A council traffic warden today remains off work after having 'three teeth knocked out' following a dispute with a motorist.
The civil enforcement officer needed hospital treatment for face and head injuries following yesterday morning's incident on The Strand, in Longton.
Investigators are studying body-cam and CCTV footage while a vehicle was seized as part of the inquiry.
Now Staffordshire Police have revealed a 26-year-old Stoke-on-Trent man has today been arrested on suspicion of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent. He remains in custody tonight.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council has condemned the 'appalling' attack on one of its employees. It comes after a car was illegally parked in a disabled parking bay.
Councillor Daniel Jellyman, cabinet member for transport, said: "We're shocked and disgusted by this appalling incident. The member of staff was undertaking a valuable and necessary public service and all our staff have the right to work in an environment free from physical and verbal abuse.
Police were called to The Strand at 11.05am yesterday. The dispute happened outside Thomas Cook.
A police spokesman said: "We were called to reports of a parking attendant being assaulted on The Strand. Officers attended with colleagues from the ambulance service and the man was taken to hospital for treatment as he had suffered head and face injuries."
The traffic warden - who is in his 40s - was taken to the Royal Stoke University Hospital for further treatment.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "One ambulance attended and treated a man who had suffered a head injury. He was taken to hospital for further treatment."
Residents have condemned the attack.
One woman said: "A traffic warden was assaulted and had three teeth knocked out. It shows what traffic wardens have to put up with and go through."
Police are appealing for witnesses as part of their investigations. Anyone with any information should call the police on 101, quoting incident number 305 of August 19.

Asharoken committee to explore fixing beach without offering public access
A no tresspassing sign is pictured at the border of Asharoken Beach and private properties between Northport Bay and the Long Island Sound in Asharoken Thursday, Oct. 9, 2014. Credit: Barry Sloan
By VALERIE BAUMANvalerie.bauman@newsday.com August 6, 2015
Asharoken Mayor Gregory Letica has announced the formation of a committee to explore options for restoring the village's beach without forcing residents to surrender private beach rights -- a requirement if they accept $30 million from the Army Corps of Engineers to put down sand along the North Shore isthmus.
"The committee is being asked to work to create a strong political coalition," Letica said at a Tuesday night meeting of village trustees.
The news came as officials with the Army Corps of Engineers said it would probably release a draft feasibility report and environmental assessment on the project for public comment this fall.
The corps has been working on the study for more than a decade. Superstorm Sandy renewed urgency for the project, but residents have resisted because federal law mandates that anywhere taxpayer money is used for such projects must be accessible to the public.
Many residents have said losing their deeded rights would lower their property values. Others have described it as a necessary sacrifice to restore the dunes and protect Asharoken Avenue -- the one outlet to the mainland for Eatons Neck.

Letica said Tuesday the group of 10 people were primarily selected from different parts of Asharoken, which stretches along Asharoken Avenue, the village's roughly 2.5-mile main road.
The committee as a whole represents the community's varied opinions, which tend to correlate with where people own property in the geographically narrow village. Eatons Neck will also be represented.

It includes homeowners with private beaches, owners of beach lots without houses, people who live on the shore side where the corps would put sand and beaches would go public, and the bay side where residents would have to help pay for improvements without receiving new sand.
Letica said the committee will work with the board of trustees and reach out to stakeholders, including the Northport Fire Department, Eatons Harbor Corp., National Guard station, PSEG Long Island, National Grid, Northport Village officials, and the Northport school district and the Suffolk County Water Authority, among others.
"We're looking to find alternative solutions and a means of protecting the road, all of which can be done without public access," Letica said.
Asharoken officials have maintained that Asharoken Avenue is of utmost importance to people beyond the village -- and that protecting it is enough of a public benefit to merit the federal funding without giving up private beach access.

"It's not the beaches, it's the road," said John Ballow, an Eatons Neck resident and member of the new committee on Thursday. "That road supports 2,000 families that live out here. We've been out here since 1985, and we've been trapped out here in a couple storms."

ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - So far, this holiday season, there isn't a tree up inside the Minnesota State Capitol rotunda this year, but the governor appears to be open to the idea.
In recent years, there's been a tree outside the Capitol, but not one inside the rotunda.
"Not at this time, but certainly, we'll listen to Minnesotans," said Governor Walz. "We'll see how it goes, where they want it."
Walz says he plans to continue a tradition of lighting a Christmas tree at the Governor's Residence. The lighting ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, weather permitting.
According to the Minnesota DNR, foresters cut down a 25-feet tall balsam fir for the Governor's Residence on Monday in General C.C. Andrews State Forest in Pine County.
The first-term governor says there will be a menorah at his residence as well.

Thermal decomposition
TAGzT
Quantum chemical calculation
Liquid Phase
Deflagration
The present study aims to advance the current understanding of the complex thermal decomposition and combustion events of nitramine-based monopropellants and pseudo- propellants. In particular, the focus is on the elucidation of chemistry and physics involved in the thermal decomposition and combustion of cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) and a pseudo- propellant containing RDX along with a well-known burn rate modifier, bis(triaminoguanidinium) 5,5'-azotetrazolate (TAGzT). The key challenges of thermal decomposition and combustion modeling that the current study addresses are (1) the unavailability of detailed reaction mechanisms for RDX and TAGzT with accurate rate kinetics data in the condensed phase, (2) limited understanding of the complex physical processes occurring during propellant combustion, and (3) insufficient information about the chemical interactions among RDX, TAGzT and their decomposition products. A systematic approach is followed to accomplish the research objective. The overall advancement in the understanding of thermal decomposition and combustion is divided into six different sections. The first three sections focus on RDX whereas the later sections focus on TAGzT and its interactions with RDX. In section one, a recently developed reaction mechanism focused on the initiation reactions of RDX decomposition in the liquid phase is expanded and validated. The reaction mechanism was expanded by investigating the reactions of the intermediate species leading to the formation of experimentally observed final decomposition products. The validation involves a comparison of experimental results obtained from confined rapid thermolysis at various set temperatures. In the experiments, the decomposition occurs in the liquid phase, which results in the desorption of species into the gas phase. The temporal behavior of the mole fractions is obtained using FTIR spectroscopy data. A species conservation model was developed to simulate the confined rapid thermolysis experiments. The model incorporates the detailed liquid-phase reaction mechanism. The rate parameters in the reaction mechanism were optimized by comparing the experimental and computational results. With the optimized parameters, the computational model reproduces the experimentally observed trends with reasonable accuracy. In section two, the liquid-phase reaction mechanism of RDX is used to study its slow decomposition. Considering the need for accurate vaporization rates in the propellant combustion models, sublimation and vaporization rates of RDX were estimated over a wide range of temperatures. Simultaneous thermal analysis was carried at various slow heating rates – 5, 10, and 15 oC/min using a coupled TGA/DSC-FTIR system. In the solid phase, the mass loss occurs mainly due to the sublimation of RDX, whereas, in the liquid phase, both vaporization and thermal decomposition play a significant role. The extent of thermal decomposition was estimated using a computational model based on a recently developed detailed liquid-phase decomposition mechanism for RDX. For each of the heating rates, a suitable match between computational and experimental mass loss and species evolution profiles was achieved. As evident from the FTIR data, a major part of the mass loss occurs because of the evolution of decomposition products, such as N2O, CH2O, NO2, NO, HCN, H2O, CO, and CO2. Results show that vaporization accounts for 29.6, 34, and 35.9 % of the total mass loss for the 5, 10, and 15 oC/min heating rates, respectively. Relatively more RDX vaporizes at higher heating rates because of the initiation of the boiling phenomenon at higher sample temperatures. In section three, the significance of liquid phase decomposition during constant pressure combustion of RDX is investigated. A melt-layer (liquid) model was developed which considers detailed chemical kinetics in the liquid phase. The extent of decomposition in the melt layer was calculated and the results show that RDX mole fraction at the propellant burning surface is 90% at atmospheric pressure. Whereas, for higher pressures the extent of RDX decomposition is found to be significantly higher. This suggests that the significance of liquid phase decomposition increases with pressure and is important for rocket motor working conditions. Hence, a combustion model was developed which considers detailed chemical kinetics in both liquid and gas phases. RDX combustion wave-structure obtained from the model was analyzed and validated against the experimental data. The combustion model was further improved by incorporating the experimentally observed bubble formation phenomenon inside the two-phase melt layer. The gas- phase reaction mechanism of RDX was also updated by adding new RDX decomposition pathways. In section four, the liquid-phase decomposition process of TAGzT is investigated using a combined experimental and computational approach. Sub-milligram samples of TAGzT were heated at rates of about 2000 K/s to a set temperature (230 to 260 °C) where liquid-phase decomposition occurred under isothermal conditions. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ToFMS) were used to acquire transmittance spectra and mass spectra of the evolved gas-phase species from the rapid thermolysis, respectively. FTIR spectroscopy was also used to acquire the transmittance spectra of the condensate and residue formed from the decomposition. N2, NH3, HCN, N2H4, triaminoguanidine and 3-azido-1,2,4- triazol-4-ide anion were identified as products of liquid-phase decomposition. Quantum chemical calculations were used for confirming the identity of the species observed in experiments and for identifying elementary chemical reactions that formed these species. Based on the calculated free energy barriers of these elementary reactions, important reaction pathways were identified for the formation of each of the product species. In section five, quantum chemical calculations were performed to develop a detailed reaction mechanism for liquid-phase decomposition of TAGzT. The developed mechanism has 495 elementary reactions and 355 species. Simultaneous thermal analysis experiments were also performed at three different heating rates: 5, 10, and 15oC/min using a coupled TGA/DSC-FTIR system. The experimentally obtained mass loss and species evolution profiles were used to validate and optimize the developed mechanism. Due to a large number of elementary reactions and species in the detailed mechanism, it cannot be directly used in a combustion model without sacrificing computational efficiency. The detailed mechanism was reduced by identifying and removing elementary reactions whose rate-of-progress remained low throughout the decomposition process. The reduced mechanism has 90 elementary reactions and 70 species, and it was deduced using a detailed kinetic model. The analysis leads to the conclusion that TAGzT decomposition occurs in two steps – 1) anion decomposition and 2) cation decomposition. The anionic part primarily decomposes via a single pathway, whereas the cationic part decomposes via five competing pathways. The experimentally observed rapid decomposition behavior of TAGzT is due to its highly exothermic decomposition pathways and the autocatalytic effects of HCN, CN-, and cyanamide on the decomposition process. The major residual products of TAGzT decomposition are identified as formoguanamine and melamine. In section six, a combustion model for RDX-TAGzT mixture is presented. The model developed for RDX monopropellant was extended to handle a multi-component system. The detailed liquid-phase mechanisms for RDX and TAGzT were including in the combustion model. Efforts were also made to understand the interaction among RDX, TAGzT, and their decomposition products. The liquid-phase decomposition process of RDX-TAGzT mixture was investigated using a combined experimental and computational approach. Simultaneous thermal analysis experiments were also performed at a heating rate of 15oC/min using a coupled TGA/DSC-FTIR system. Two different mixture compositions were studied with RDX:TAGzT ratio of 90:10 and 80:20. Quantum chemical calculations were used for identifying elementary chemical reactions that form the experimentally observed species. These reactions explain the early decomposition of RDX in presence of TAGzT. The liquid-phase mechanism in the combustion model was updated by adding the interaction reactions. The combustion wave-structure obtained from the model was analyzed and validated against the data from literature.

Adobe Is Working On An iOS Photoshop App For iPad
Adobe will launch the Photoshop for iPad in 2019
Apple iOS 11 has changed the definition of the mobile operating system with too many upgrades. Where AR is reshaping the user's interaction with smartphones, the more PC apps have made their way to the mobile with iOS 11. However, there are still some apps that aren't available on the iPad. This includes the Adobe Photoshop, which is one of the most used desktop app and yet Apple wasn't able to cover it in its vast iPad-supported app collection. Now, Adobe is planning to push a full-fledged version of Photoshop app for iPad in the coming time.
The news was first covered by Bloomberg, who pen down the Adobe's plan for launching the app for iOS. Scott Belsky, chief product officer for creative Head in Adobe, revealed that Adobe is working on a cross-platform Photoshop edition, but the releasing date isn't confirmed yet. However, Adobe already has few photo editing apps on iOS, but none of them can be compared to the Photoshop's full accessed version. The rumors of Adobe working on iOS Photoshop app was going on for a long time. Now, the statement from Belsky puts a confirmation stamp on the rumors.
TIL the new Lightroom CC is almost entirely built in Lua, running the same codebase on iOS, Mac, Windows & Android using Adobe's new UI system & design language. Seems significant… ????
— Steve Troughton-Smith (@stroughtonsmith) July 13, 2018
Adobe Photoshop for iPad is still under the development according to the resources. There are few other mobile versions of photo editing tools including Adobe's own Photoshop Express. However, these mobile versions lack the features and professional editing tools that only PC or Mac version of Photoshop offer. Besides, the move from the company shows that Adobe is also expanding its vision for Photoshop's future. With the support for iPad, the photo editing app will get exposure to a vast number of iOS users. It is clear that Adobe is seeking for professional and as well as casual photo editors to hike up its business growth.
The company will announce the app for the iPad in October, and it will be launched in 2019. According to the company, a lot of people were asking for the app for compact devices so that they can do their work on the go.

Editorial: Raise the standards along with the bridge
A troubled bridge
Oak Island | Public needs answers before it can trust span's safety
It's difficult to consider the cursed second Oak Island bridge without bringing up the word "incompetence." Its history does not inspire confidence in the finished product, which more than likely will be delayed past its end-of-year deadline.
Oak Island | Public needs answers before it can trust span's safety
It's difficult to consider the cursed second Oak Island bridge without bringing up the word "incompetence." Its history does not inspire confidence in the finished product, which more than likely will be delayed past its end-of-year deadline.
This past December, a subcontractor's disregard of manufacturer's instructions killed a construction worker when the 121-ton girder he was tethered to was knocked out of place and crashed to the ground on top of him.
Other girders that already had been placed had to come down, and work stopped until two investigations – the subcontractor's insurance company wouldn't share its results with the taxpayers who are footing the $36.6 million bill – were completed.
The N.C. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, under the leadership of business-friendly Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry, issued fines in the slap-on-the-wrist amount of less than $6,300 to the subconcontractor, Lee Construction, and $2,800 to the prime contractor, Barnhill Contracting.
And the N.C. Department of Transportation, which is charged with ensuring the safety of this new bridge, was told to keep a closer eye on the project. Apparently, it hasn't been watching closely enough.
Then a few weeks ago an inspector happened to notice a fracture in a girder as it was being lifted into place. That caused another delay while the inspectors examined other girders for flaws. Sure enough, four girders had manufacturing defects serious enough that they had to come down, and a fifth was found to be defective.
These girders, incidentally, are supposed to hold up the bridge floor while motorists, many of them bound for a carefree holiday, cross the Intracoastal Waterway between the mainland and Oak Island. Any volunteers to be the first to cross?
Of course, it is better to catch the problems before the bridge is open to traffic. While these beams are huge – each is 160 feet long – they are also fragile and can be easily damaged during manufacturing, shipping or construction. But given the track records so far, one can't help but wonder what other safety concerns might have been missed. Twice now girders have been put in place and twice they have had to be removed.
Gov. Beverly Perdue and her supposedly more efficient, more vigilant Department of Transportation need to produce answers to some pointed questions, among them: How thorough is the inspection process? Are the contractors taking shortcuts or hiring poorly trained workers? And how can North Carolinians trust that this bridge will be safe?
The cause could be defective workmanship, manufacturing defects or both. And it could be that the monitoring process needs to be overhauled. If that means having DOT inspectors watch workers' every move, so be it.

Can personalized medicine survive Prometheus?
Modern medicine has become more tailored and personalized for patients seeking medical treatment. No longer is the "one size fits all" approach preferred by the medical community in treating various patient-types, patient groups or subgroups. Recent developments in the diagnostics field have illustrated the significant health benefits and cost savings that can be obtained by first detecting the presence or absence of an antigen or "biomarker" in a patient. This, in turn, may identify that patient as has having a particular disease state or the potential for that disease state, and the subsequent need for treatment or preventative treatment.
With the advent of personalized medicine, a slew of new diagnostic-based inventions have been developed and intellectual property protection sought in the United States. All was well for such developers and manufacturers of diagnostics until the Supreme Court's 2012 Prometheus decision (and its resultant progeny or related cases). Unfortunately, the Supreme Court took (and the Federal Circuit continues to take) a narrow view towards the patent eligibility of diagnostics under 35 USC § 101.
35 USC § 101 provides that "[w]hoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefor, subject to the conditions and requirements of this title." In Prometheus, the Supreme Court held that, "without more," process claims directed to the detection of a correlation between a metabolite and drug treatment response are not patent-eligible subject matter under § 101. Rather, the Supreme Court declared that such claims are nothing more than the mere application of a natural law that is not patent-eligible in the United States. Exactly how "without more" should be interpreted to define parameters in which diagnostics can achieve patent eligibility under § 101 has led to significant debate.
Rather than continue the debate, a more proactive approach appears to be available through careful and artful claim drafting to avoid the pitfalls presented by Prometheus and its progeny. The relevant case law clearly expresses the need to modify diagnostic claims away from the mere appreciation or recognition of a correlation between a biomarker and a natural law to an application of patent-eligible subject matter to that correlation. To illustrate, a few claim drafting examples are presented below.
Utilization of a treatment step(s)
No. A method for diagnosing a disease state A in a patient comprising the step of detecting in a patient sample the presence or absence of an antigen B (one could also use "marker B" or "biomarker B"), wherein the patient is diagnosed with disease state A if the antigen B (or "marker B" / "biomarker B") is detected.
Yes. A method for diagnosing a disease state A in a patient comprising the steps of: (a) detecting in a patient sample the presence or absence of an antigen B, and (b) administering treatment C to the patient if antigen B is detected.
This claiming approach converts the diagnostic claim away from the mere appreciation of the natural law (i.e., "disease state") and its correlation to the presence of the antigen to an application of a treatment method to that natural law. In doing so, the claim would be transformed or converted into patent-eligible subject matter, which is not violative ofPrometheus and its progeny.
Inclusion of a novel component(s)
No. A method of diagnosing a disease state A in a patient comprising the step of obtaining and analyzing a patient sample for the presence of antigen B, wherein the patient is diagnosed with disease state A if the presence of antigen B is detected.
Yes. A method of diagnosing a disease state A in a patient comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining and analyzing a patient sample for the presence of antigen B via novel component C; and (b) diagnosing the patient with disease state A if the presence of antigen B is detected via novel component C.
In the revised claim, the inclusion of a novel component (e.g., assay, reagent, detection hardware or system and the like) converts the claim away from the mere application of a natural law via its correlation with antigen B to a claim having patent-eligible subject matter via the inclusion of component C that is applied to the natural law.
Conversion to a non-natural component(s)
No. A method of diagnosing a disease state A via the presence of an antigen B in a patient comprising the step of: acquiring and analyzing a sample from the patient for the presence of antigen B using an antibody C to detect disease state A.
Yes. A method of diagnosing a disease state A via the presence of an antigen B in a patient comprising the steps of: (a) acquiring a sample from the patient containing antigen B; (b) providing antibody C to the sample to form an antigen-antibody intermediate D; detecting the presence of antigen-antibody intermediate D in the sample to diagnose the presence of disease state A.
In the revised claim, the method is converted to patentable subject matter by the creation, determination and utilization of a refined, non-natural (i.e., "man-made") component being the antigen-antibody intermediate or "complex".
The Prometheus decision and its progeny have changed the landscape of personalized medicine and diagnostic-based claiming in the United States. However, that landscape has not been drastically narrowed as some commentators have suggested. Rather, through continued diligence and analysis of the case law, careful and artful claim-drafting strategies can be identified to navigate the patent eligibility obstacles presented.

OSCE SMM confirmed the casualties.
On its web page, OSCE said the observers were traveling in the town of Pryshyb in Lugansk Region which is under control of Russia-backed separatists, when they ran over a mine. OSCE is asking for cooperation of all parties in its investigation.
Kurz is the foreign minister of Austria, which currently holds the rotating chair of the 57-member organization.
He was also quoted as saying in an OSCE press statement:
"SMM is doing an outstanding job, day by day, to stabilize the crisis in and around Ukraine. But the mission is too often hampered by threats, by access restrictions, by disinformation or the destruction of its technical means. This is simply unacceptable."
Translation: Explosion of OSCE auto: The Cabinet of Ministers warned of the "worst scenario" for Ukraine.
OSCE SMM, an unarmed mission of 700 people from all the OSCE member nations including Russia, has suffered a number of attacks in separatist-held territory by unknown fighters with small arms or machine guns, and its observation drones have been shot down by militants as well. It has frequently encountered obstruction or refusal to allow observers to look at certain areas.
George Tuka, deputy governor for the temporarily-occupied territories and displaced persons in the Ukrainian government, wrote on his Facebook page [translation by The Interpreter]:
It is hard to recognize in this pile of metal the armored Cruiser in which the officers of the mission travelled.
Of course, the ringleaders of ORDL [The Ukrainian acronymn for certain regions of Donetsk and Lugansk] will speak of "Ukrainian saboteurs" and "the cunning Kiev junta". What else can they do?
It is worth recalling that throughout the recent period (after the reduction of a number of 'neutral' Russians in the composition of the mission), tentions in the ORDL and around the OSCE SMM had constantly grown: refusal of access to facilities, shelling of observer drones, provocative threats against the members and shooting with firearms — all of this took place constantly. The observers themselves repeatedly reported on this in their official reports!
And now, unfortunately, a death…
Judging from the photographs, the automobile ran into a TM-62 anti-tank mine. I hope this tragedy will not lead to the end of the OSCE SMM's activity!
The OSCE SMM Ukraine is one of the few missions to have been deployed in a war zone in the history of the former Soviet area of the OSCE region; earlier missions were located in Tajikistan during the civil war in the 1990s and in Ingushetia, near Chechnya during the wars there in the 1990s, but was forced to leave by the Russian government.
To our knowledge, this is the first time an OSCE mission member has been killed in this region. A member of the International Committee of the Red Cross was killed by a shell in Donetsk in 2014. In 1998, four members of the UN Mission of Observation in Tajikistan were murdered.
