TCW Minute: How to Reach the Younger Generation (Week of March 11, 2019)
brodiewheaton2019-03-15T15:03:34-05:00Mar 11, 2019|
How to reach the younger generation? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Worldview.
Research shows that the Millennial generation, those aged 18-40, have a much more secular or religiously pluralistic worldview than previous generations.
Ken Ham president of Answers in Genesis and author of the new book, Gospel Reset, says we need to explain more of the faith, not less, to reach this generation.
Instead of baiting them with trendy music and then slipping in an incomplete gospel message, we need to teach the basics, such as the trustworthiness of Scripture, the holiness and justice of God, the sinfulness of man, and the redeeming work of Christ.
Hear an interview with Ken Ham at TheChristianWorldview.org.
And then tune in this weekend for another topic that will sharpen your worldview.

Foreign leaders, supporters bid farewell to Zimbabwe's Mugabe
HARARE (Reuters) – Foreign leaders, supporters and ordinary citizens were attending the state funeral on Saturday of Zimbabwe's founder Robert Mugabe, after a week of disputes over his burial that threatened to embarrass his successor President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Mugabe led Zimbabwe for 37 years, from independence until he was ousted by the army in November 2017. He died in a Singapore hospital on Sept. 6 aged 95.
His remains will be interred in a mausoleum at the National Heroes Acre in the capital Harare in about 30 days, his nephew said on Friday, contradicting earlier comments that a burial would be held on Sunday. [nL5N2641HF]
Mnangagwa, Mugabe's former deputy who conspired to topple him, said late on Friday that building the mausoleum would delay the burial of the man who was once his mentor.
On Saturday, Mnangagwa walked behind the casket carrying Mugabe's body as it was wheeled into the centre of Harare's National Sports Stadium and placed on a podium decorated with flowers so that ordinary Zimbabweans could say their farewells. Senior army generals and Mugabe's wife and children followed, as a brass band played.
"Today, let us put aside our differences and come together as we remember the past and look to the future as one proud, independent and free nation," the president wrote on Twitter.
Mnangagwa and the ruling ZANU-PF party wanted Mugabe buried at the national shrine to heroes of the 15-year liberation war against white minority rule. But some relatives, expressing bitterness at the way former comrades ousted Mugabe, had pushed for him to be buried in his home village.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who also chairs the African Union, Kenya's Uhuru Kenyatta and long-ruling leaders from Equatorial Guinea and Congo were among heads of state attending Saturday's event.
Banners at the stadium where Mugabe's body lay in state ahead of the funeral read "Hamba kahle, Gushungo," (go well, Gushungo)", a reference to his clan name, and "Pioneer of nationalist politics".
Cleo Mapuranga, a caterer, told Reuters: "I feel low because Mugabe fought for us. I remember him for land to the blacks, economic freedom and higher education which was non-racial."
"Now, people are suffering. No one is controlling the prices in the shops. Our finance minister is trying to implement first-world policies which don't work in third-world countries."
Mugabe's death has made some Zimbabweans question what Mnangagwa has achieved in his two years in power.
His government has taken steps to cut the budget deficit, remove subsidies on fuel and power and repeal laws curbing public and media freedoms, but those reforms and austerity measures have compounded ordinary people's hardships.
Mugabe was feted as a champion of racial reconciliation when he came to power in 1980 in one of the last African states to throw off white colonial rule.
By the time he was toppled in 2017 to wild celebrations across the country of 13 million, he was viewed by many at home and abroad as a power-obsessed autocrat who unleashed death squads, rigged elections and ruined the economy to keep control.

Business in Brief: Teva directors to take pay cut
Three-way battle suddenly erupts for control of Israel's Bezeq
Largest natural gas reserve discovered in Israel worth approximately $95 billion
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries said Tuesday it plans to raise $5 billion of debt securities as it pushes ahead with a global overhaul aimed at cutting costs and managing its massive debt burden. In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Teva didn't say where the proceeds would go, but it appears they will be used to replace existing bank debt with long-term bond debt. Teva, the world's biggest generic drug maker, announced in late 2017 a restructuring that would combine its generic and specialty medicine businesses. It's also cutting more than a quarter of its workforce and closing many of its factories as it copes with a $34.7 billion debt load it took on buying Actavis Generics in 2016. Bloomberg News reported that Teva was also seeking to renegotiate its debt covenants with its bank creditors, who are owed $6 billion. Teva shares finished 4.9% lower at 69.70 shekels ($20.38).

Bezeq chairman tells activist investor Elliott he plans changes to the board
Acting Bezeq Chairman David Granot said Tuesday he aims to replace at least part of the board in line with a call by the U.S. activist investor Elliott Management for change at Israel's biggest telecom company. "I have heard loud and clear the issues and concerns you raised regarding this matter, both in your letter and at our meeting last week. I intend to take these issues into serious consideration when we propose a slate of candidates for election at the next annual meeting," Granot wrote to Paul Best, head of European private equity at Elliott. He was replying to a January 16 letter in which Elliott announced it had a 4.8% stake in Bezeq and called for a restructuring of the group that controls Bezeq and for a boardroom shake-up. Granot said he had no control over the companies controlling Bezeq, which belong to the embattled telecom entrepreneur Shaul Elovitch. (Amitai Ziv)
Noble to sell 7.5% stake in Tamar field to Israel's Tamar Petroleum
Noble Energy will sell a 7.5% stake in the Tamar natural gas field off Israel to Tamar Petroleum for about $800 million in cash and shares, the U.S. oil and gas producer said Monday. Noble will receive $560 million in cash and 38.5 million shares of Tamar Petroleum. The deal allows Noble to cut its holdings in Israel's only commercial gas field to 25% from 32.5%, complying with government plans to open the market to competition. The assets being sold produced about 62 million cubic feet equivalent per day of natural gas in 2017, Houston-based Noble said. The deal follows a sale by Noble of 3.5% of Tamar in mid-2016. Combined proceeds from both deals amount to nearly $1.25 billion, of which almost $1 billion will be in cash, Noble said. Tamar Petroleum shares ended 1.8% lower at 20.24 shekels ($5.92). Noble shares were down 4.9% at $30.57 in New York late morning local time. (Reuters)
Dorit Wertheim sells Aloni Hetz stake to brother in $161 million deal
Dorit Wertheimer sold her stake in the giant real estate company Aloni Hetz to her brother Dudi as the two sibling divide up the estate of their father Muzi Wertheim, the family said Tuesday. In a deal worth 550 million shekels ($161 million), Dorit Wertheim sold her 31% stake in the closely held company Wertheim Holdings that controls the family's Aloni Hetz shares, leaving her brother with 100% of the company that in turn has a 19.3% stake in Aloni Hetz. The deal still leaves the two in control of the family's two other big assets – Central Bottling Company, the Israeli Coca-Cola bottler, and Mizrahi-Tefahot Bank. Since the Business Concentration Law will soon bar the family from controlling both a big financial and nonfinancial company, Dorit Wertheim is expected to assume full control of Mizrahi while Dudi keeps Central Bottling and Aloni Hetz. Aloni Hetz shares finished 0.8% higher at 36.05 shekels. (Eran Azran)
Biomed, insurance sectors lead Tel Aviv shares to a loss
Biomed and insurance stock weighed down a broadly lower Tel Aviv market Tuesday. The TA-35 and TA-125 indexes both ended about 0.7% lower at 15,38.88 and 1,400.98 points, respectively, on turnover of 1.55 billion shekels ($450 million). Among biomed shares, Opko Health dropped 4.2% to 15.72 shekels and Mazor Robotics shed 1.1% to 106.80. Phoenix led insurance shares lower, falling 2.2% to 21.50. The U.S. drug maker Mylan and Perrigo also dropped sharply – by 4.5% to 150.60 and 3.6% to 309.40, respectively. Among gainers in the TA-125, volume leader Frutarom added 2.4% to 351.10 and Elbit Systems 3.1% to 510.10. The Israel Corporation eased 0.1% to end at 664.30. On Monday, the company said it hoped to resume paying dividends after receiving bondholder approval. Collpant advanced 0.7% to 57 agorot after it said the Nasdaq approved it for listing. Isramco added 0.9% to 43 agorot after Leumi Capital Markets tagged its shares Market Outperform. (Eran Azran)

Kankara abduction: Group demands immediate action by security agencies
Annie Nwosu
An advocacy group, Coalition for Peace and National Security, CPNS, has asked security agencies to immediately swing into action to apprehend the criminals who reportedly abducted 600 students from a Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State.
The group condemned the latest attack and described the action of the bandits against innocent school children as unacceptable and a sad reminder of the abduction of 276 Chibok schoolgirls who were writing exams in 2014.
In a statement by its National Coordinator, Dr Mohammed Maigoro and National Secretary, Barr. Tunde Funsho, the group said the recent attack ridicules Nigeria's effort towards improving the education and development of children in the north.
While appealing to the bandits to lay down their arms, the coalition condoled parents of missing children and victims of incessant killings in the North.
''The attack on the school is a further confirmation that the security situation in the country is not getting better, hence the need to immediately rejig the nation's security architecture beginning with the sack of service chiefs.
The group asked President Buhari to immediately rejig the security architecture of the country beginning with the sack of service chiefs, who it noted, had become exhausted to face the increasingly worsening security situation.
"This attack on innocent school children is not only cowardly but also callous and a crime against humanity, prohibited under the international humanitarian law.
"The latest development is a yet another confirmation that the country is porous without security and given this bad situation, we wish to without any hesitation join the clarion call on our dear President, Mohammadu Buhari, to immediately rejig the nation's security architecture beginning with the sack of service chiefs who apart from overstaying in office, have become exhausted to face the increasingly worsening security situation of our country."
"The president should at this moment be more concerned about the security of Nigerians who he swore an oath to protect by listening to the increasing calls by well-meaning Nigerians including the National Assembly that he changes the service chiefs and completely overhauls the security architecture for efficiency.

Why IPOB won't work, recognize Obiozor as Ohanaeze President-General – Nnamdi Kanu
Seun Opejobi
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Saturday declared that it won't recognize and work with Professor George Obiozor as President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
Kanu explained that Obiozor was imposed on the Southeast by Fulani Canals running Nigeria.
Speaking through IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, Kanu alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari's Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Gambari and Miyetti Allah were instrumental in Obiozor's emergence as Ohanaeze President-General.
A statement by Powerful said: "We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to state without any ambiguity, that we cannot work together with the newly appointed President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief George Obiozor.
"This is because he was imposed on the Igbo socio-cultural body by the Fulani cabal running the failed state of Nigeria. The Chief of Staff to the President, Alhaji Ibrahim Gambari and Miyetti Allah were instrumental to the emergence of Obiozor as Ohaneze National President according to our findings.
"IPOB closely monitored the jamboree in the name of election that produced Obiozor as the new Ohanaeze helmsman, critically analysed the antecedents of those behind his emergence and came to the conclusion that we cannot in all honesty work with him because we are not ideologically compatible. Obiozor may not be entirely evil but those behind him are unrepentant."
Insecurity: Only God can give us victory – Femi Adesina
President Muhammadu Buhari's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has said only God can ensure victory over insecurity.
Adesina said most Nigerians have failed to understand that only God can ensure victory in the area of insecurity.
He pointed out that Nigerians who refuse to pray for God's intervention in the area of insecurity are guilty of indirectly prolonging the war against insurgency.
The presidential spokesman stated this in an article entitled, 'The Decent for the Indecent, the Just for the Unjust'.
Adesina, however, lamented that rather than pray for troops battling insurgency, Nigerians are wailing.
He wrote, "But victory is from God alone. That is what we must realize as Nigerians. Do we ever pray for our troops in the frontlines?
"As we pray; God give me money. Give me a car. Give me a promotion. Kill my enemies, did you pray for our soldiers? Victory comes from God alone. If you don't pray, you may be guilty of prolonging the war in North-East, North-west, North-central, and all over Nigeria.
"Yes, victory is from God alone. But do some people know? Does it ever enter into their consciousness? They only wail: 'this insurgency war has lasted too long. The banditry has demystified our military. They are cowards. The top guns don't even want the battle to end."
Nigeria has been confronted with the challenge of Boko Haram Insurgency, banditry, and kidnapping lately.
A few months ago students were abducted from Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State.
The students were, however, released.

EDMUNDO GANDIA, LTJG, USN
From USNA Virtual Memorial Hall
Edmundo Gandia '38
Date of birth: August 5, 1914
Date of death: March 2, 1942
From the 1938 Lucky Bag:
EDMUNDO GANDIA
Ed, Mahatma
From out of the South comes this caballero of few words. Ed has a knack of making life pleasant for his classmates and incidentally helping those who let that demon Dago get the upper hand. The hops usually find him in attendance navigating his way through the couples in an extremely nautical manner. Here his smiling nature and gentlemanly, mature attitudes display themselves at their best. He delights in sailing when the weather is rough and the tang of the salty spray is in his nostrils. At boxing and swimming Ed can hold his own with the best. Don't let Ed's gray hair fool you. He didn't get it from worry. Academics never bothered this pride of Porto Rico. The Fleet will gain a sturdy son of the sea when Ed is graduated. Best wishes, Ed!
Boxing 4; M.P.O.
Edmundo was lost when USS Pillsbury (DD 227) was sunk by a superior Japanese surface force in a night action on March 2, 1942, 200 miles east of Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean.
His parents were listed as next of kin.
On April 18, 2013:
In a brief ceremony, members of the Puerto Rico Army National Guard Honor Guard, raised the American flag at the steps of the Capitol building in San Juan to honor U.S. Navy World War II Lt. j.g. Edmundo Gandia. Gandia became missing in action after the sinking of the USS Pillsbury March 2, 1942, south of the Pacific island of Java.
Navy Directories & Officer Registers
The "Register of Commissioned and Warrant Officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps" was published annually from 1815 through at least the 1970s; it provided rank, command or station, and occasionally billet until the beginning of World War II when command/station was no longer included. Scanned copies were reviewed and data entered from the mid-1840s through 1922, when more-frequent Navy Directories were available.
The Navy Directory was a publication that provided information on the command, billet, and rank of every active and retired naval officer. Single editions have been found online from January 1915 and March 1918, and then from three to six editions per year from 1923 through 1940; the final edition is from April 1941.
The entries in both series of documents are sometimes cryptic and confusing. They are often inconsistent, even within an edition, with the name of commands; this is especially true for aviation squadrons in the 1920s and early 1930s.
Alumni listed at the same command may or may not have had significant interactions; they could have shared a stateroom or workspace, stood many hours of watch together… or, especially at the larger commands, they might not have known each other at all. The information provides the opportunity to draw connections that are otherwise invisible, though, and gives a fuller view of the professional experiences of these alumni in Memorial Hall.

About USNA Virtual Memorial Hall


We are a CFA registered small hobby breeder located in sunny southern California a few blocks from the beach. We specialize in color pointed Himalayan exotics, short and longhaired, (love the striking blue eyes). We breed for our pleasure to produce show quality kittens/cats to the standards of CFA and TICA Associations. Not every kitten can be used in the showing process so we place these kittens in approved quality pet homes. Kittens are given their core vaccine and de-wormed twice before they leave our home. Our home is a loving, clean, cat friendly place, they are raised under foot with much love and care. They are groomed daily, each baby is gently handled throughout the day to accustom them to being held, carried around and cuddled. Socialization is the key to raising confident and people oriented kittens. Therefore, we are a cage free cattery with the exception of safety for our Mom's when birthing new kittens. Our kittens come from top quality bloodlines (Laureden, Compri, Sunstream, Karabel, Kittystone, Tanglebox, Oakhaven, Playwickey) to name a few.
The exotic shorthair is a breed of cat developed to be a short-haired version of the Persian (Colorpoint Himalayan). The exotic is similar to the Persian (Colorpoint Himalayan) in many ways, including temperament and conformation with the exception of the short dense coat. The exotics have a gentle and calm personality reminiscent of the Persian, but are generally livelier than their longhaired ancestors. Curious and playful and they are friendly to other cats and dogs. They tend to show more affection and loyalty than most breeds and make excellent lap cats. Their calm, steady nature makes them ideal apartment cats for city dwellers. Unlike the high maintenance Persians the exotic is able to keep its own fur tidy with little human assistance. Weekly brushing and combing is recommended to remove loose hair and reduce shedding and hairballs. As with other flat-faced animals, the exotic's tear ducts are prone to overflowing due to the nasolacrimal duct, which can dampen and stain the face. This can be relieved by daily wiping the cat's face with a warm moistened cloth with water. There are also products on the market to help keep that beautiful clean face.
This breed ages slowly, as it does not reach maturity until around two years of age and enters puberty fairly late. When two exotic shorthairs are crossed they may produce long-haired kittens called Exotic Longhairs, by the CFA. Externally, they look like Persians (Colorpoint Himalayans).

Cleaning up fuel spills in Antarctica

Advances in remediation science and a developing local expertise have allowed Australian scientists and engineers to begin addressing long-term soil contamination issues at Australia's Antarctic and subantarctic stations.
Since 2003, remediation teams have applied and modified existing remediation technologies, normally used under warmer, more favourable conditions, to clean up fuel spills and develop risk and remediation guidelines for Australia's Antarctic and subantarctic stations and environments. The work will be used to assist other Antarctic nations in their remediation efforts and to tackle legacy sites such as Australia's abandoned Wilkes station.
At Casey station, members of the Australian Antarctic Division's remediation team have delivered a significant and ongoing decrease in soil contamination at the station over the past four years. The first stage of the Casey clean-up began in 2005, to deal with a 6000 litre fuel spill at the station's main powerhouse in 1999. The remediation team, in collaboration with scientists from the University of Melbourne, installed a 'permeable reactive barrier' (PRB) at the site. These barriers prevent fuel-contaminated snowmelt and groundwater from leaching into the surrounding environment, by channelling it through a treatment system.
'PRBs are the first step in a multi-step process used to treat a contaminated site,' Australian Antarctic Division Remediation Specialist, Mr Tim Spedding, said.
'PRBs contain the effects of a spill and minimise the spread of contamination until the site can be more actively remediated. You need to install them first because once you start excavating contaminated soil for treatment you'll also thaw the ground and remobilise a lot of the contaminants in the meltwater.'
The PRB consists of a series of cage pallets containing pelletised nutrients and activated carbon, which is placed in the path of the meltwater flow. When the water enters the barrier it becomes enriched with nutrients, which stimulates the native soil microbes to begin degrading fuel captured on the activated carbon. After a further nutrient capture step, clean water flows out the other side of the barrier.
In Antarctica the environmental conditions are such that PRBs can only passively treat contaminated meltwater, rather than actively reduce soil contamination. So in 2010 the team embarked on an active approach to remediation by excavating the contaminated soil and creating a series of 'biopiles'. Like PRBs, biopiles use the native soil microorganisms to break down fuel contaminants. They do so at a faster rate, however, because the soil conditions are optimised for microbial growth by the addition of air and moisture.
Over three summer seasons, seven biopiles have been built at Casey station, with each soil pile measuring some 18 x 5m in size and 1.5m high. The biopiles are active for up to three months a year, when summer temperatures are high enough to thaw the soil and release moisture. Once the soil is thawed, leachate water is re-circulated through it to increase soil moisture distribution. A system of aeration pipes forces air through the biopiles towards a carbon filter at one end, trapping any volatile compounds that then biodegrade or evaporate.
While the technology has been used extensively in the Arctic and temperate environments, Antarctica has different environmental conditions and soil types. As a result, the team has had to research and tweak their materials and methods while they work. Part of this process involved testing a variety of materials used to cover and to line the base of the biopiles. To do this, the remediation team recruited geoenvironmental engineer Dr Rebecca McWatters, from Queen's University, Canada, for her expertise in Arctic contaminated sites, geosynthetic materials and barrier systems.
'For the past three years we've been investigating different combinations of geosynthetic liner materials on the biopiles, to test their long-term performance as a composite barrier system in preventing the movement of contaminants out of the biopiles and into the environment; all while the soil was being treated,' Dr McWatters said.
'We've also trialled a range of geotextile covers, which prevent contaminated dust being blown off the biopiles.
'We're looking for the right combination of technologies that will do the job with minimal cost, maintenance and management, and that will outlast the lifespan of the contaminated soil.'
The tests were conducted on the biopiles while soil remediation was underway, but also in a variety of other field- and laboratory-based tests. By early 2014 the team had supportive evidence for a combination of materials that would do the job while withstanding the cold, dry, windy, abrasive and UV-intense environment. In the process, the team also significantly remediated the contaminated soil.
'Our most recent tests show that hydrocarbon concentrations in the biopiles are decreasing by 50% every 500 days,' Dr McWatters said.
'This compares to no detectable change over five years when just the PRB technology was used to contain the contaminants on site. This is very exciting and shows we are nearing our goal of returning remediated soil to the Casey environment for specific reuse applications.'
But how clean is clean enough? That is the question now occupying the remediation team and ecotoxicologists at the Australian Antarctic Division (see How clean is clean enough?). While the soil will never return to its original state, there will be a point beyond which the effort to continue remediation will be disproportionate to the risks posed to the environment's flora and fauna.
While the ecotoxicology work is still in progress, Mr Spedding said the remediation team has enough scientifically sound remediation options and technical expertise to begin to address clean-up issues at more difficult sites.
'And through the Antarctic Treaty system we'll be able to pass on what we've learned to other nations, so that they can apply it without having to go through the lengthy tests and trials we've already undertaken,' he said.

How clean is clean enough?
How clean should contaminated soil be to protect its ecological function and value? That is the question Australian Antarctic Division ecotoxicologist Dr Catherine King and her team will answer as they develop remediation targets for contaminated sites in Antarctica.
The team is currently working with the Casey station remediation team (see main story) to develop targets based on ecotoxicity testing for a range of native Antarctic organisms.
The team has used similar methods on Macquarie Island to establish interim remediation targets for fuel contaminants in the subantarctic.
The Antarctic targets will eventually inform clean-up manuals that can also be used by other Antarctic nations dealing with their own contamination and remediation issues.
'We're aiming to identify fuel concentrations that, on average, would protect say 80% of the biological function of a disturbed site, such as occurs around a station, or 95% for a pristine site,' Dr King said.
'So the targets will depend on the land use and the values of the land. But even if you get back to 80%, that's still a well-functioning ecosystem.'
Remediation in Antarctica, however, poses more of a challenge than the subantarctic.
'Antarctic soils have the same diverse microbial communities that you'd expect worldwide, but they have few microinvertebrates, no macroinvertebrates and they have very few plants — only mosses, lichens and algae,' Dr King said.
'So we just don't have the biological diversity and the organisms that you would typically use for ecotoxicology experiments, like flowering plants or grasses for seed germination tests, or macroinvertebrates for survival and reproductive tests.'
Instead, the team will focus more on developing toxicity tests with Antarctic mosses and terrestrial algae, and with two Antarctic microinvertebrates — nematode worms and springtails. They will also study the soil microbial communities and their functioning using bacterial genes to identify changes in species richness and diversity.
The results from the ecotoxicology work will be used to develop robust remediation targets to inform the Casey remediation team when they can return the biopile soil to the station for reuse. The work will also provide 'trigger values' that will allow Australia and other countries to prioritise sites for clean up in the future.
'The trigger values will allow us to determine the risks posed by a site, so that, on an international scale, if we have say 50 sites to clean up across Antarctica, we can make an informed decision about how to prioritise them,' Dr King said.

Indian scientists develop arsenic detection tool
Kolkata: Scientists in Kolkata have developed a new high-precision technique to detect arsenic in water, a toxic substance widespread in the groundwater of India and Bangladesh that on long-term exposure is capable of causing skin cancer.
Arindam Banerjee
According to the WHO, natural arsenic contamination is a cause for concern in many countries, including Argentina, Bangladesh, Chile, China, India, Mexico, Thailand and the US.
The new method developed by the scientists enables high-precision detection of arsenic through tiny gold clusters that signal its presence in water by emitting light (a phenomenon called fluorescence).
"The ultra-sensitive sensors synthesised by us were in the form of gold clusters that signal the presence of arsenic in water by emitting more light or fluorescence when in contact with the toxic arsenic in water.
"It even detected arsenic in presence of other toxic metal ions," Arindam Banerjee of the department of biological chemistry of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, told IANS.
Chandra Bhushan
Chandra Bhushan, deputy director general of the Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi, said arsenic poisoning in India is a widespread phenomenon which needs monitoring techniques as well as methods for removal of the toxic substance.
"Arsenic poisoning of groundwater is widespread in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal. Even our neighbour Bangladesh faces the same problem.
"Scientific studies in monitoring techniques as well as methods to remove the arsenic from water are necessary," Chandra Bhushan told IANS.
The unique feature of the new monitoring technique is that it can roughly indicate the extent of arsenic contamination.
"The more the light emitted, the greater the quantity of arsenic present," Banerjee added.
The gold clusters of sub-nano dimensions were capped with a small peptide (a dipeptide) to stabilise the entire structure.
"The dipeptide, i.e., two residue containing small peptide (dicysteine), was used to stabilize the fluorescent gold clusters. The nascently prepared gold clusters have a natural tendency to aggregate to form bigger sized particles; that is why you need to have capping or stabilising agent to prevent aggregation.
"The nascently formed gold clusters and peptide are biocompatible, innocuous agent to the environment," Banerjee explained.
Unlike other sensors, these gold clusters are particularly sensitive for detection of arsenic in water that contains other metal contaminants as well.
"The fluorescence intensity of the gold cluster almost remains same in the presence of different metal ions such as magnesium, manganese, iron and zinc. In fact, these clusters are so sensitive and precise that they can detect or sense arsenic ions in water even if they are diluted to 40 times their original concentration," Banerjee added.

Q: Cosmos DB trigger that writes data to another Cosmos DB I'm trying to implement a trigger that will take all incoming changes and write them to my other Cosmos DB.

I'm aware of Change Feed and how it works, but currently, I'm looking for the approach to write changes with container triggers.
What I can't find is how can I create a connection to another database. Is it even possible inside a containers triggers?

A: Triggers in Cosmos DB are scoped to a single logical partition the same as stored procedures. Also, triggers must be called manually.
To copy data from one container to another you should use Change Feed.

Want To Know What Apple Is Up To Next? Just Follow The Money
Now that the dust has settled over Apple's courageous decision to eliminate the headphone jack from its iPhone 7 lineup, the big question is: How will this omission affect future Apple products? I'll get to that in a moment, but first I'll provide my opinion regarding Apple's new direction and how less has become quite a bit more…more crap to pack, carry and break.
From my point of view, Apple's "Special Event" hit a new low point in terms of excitement. Let's face it, Apple has a reputation for creating an enviable buzz when unveiling new products and typically delivers a sense of urgency for consumers to press the buy button the moment a new product becomes available. Nobody does it better.
In the past, many customers (myself included) would stay up util the wee hours until Apple opened the online ordering floodgates to be the first to purchase online. Some opt to stand in line for hours, or even days, to be the first to buy a new product at the local Apple Store.
Apple's product launch events typically generate an unheralded amount of free media coverage and it's not uncommon to see local and national news outlets and countless online blogs highlighting, or drooling over the products announced. Public Relations professionals dream of creating such excitement.
In the past the coverage extended past the announcement and followed up a few weeks later with reports of excited customers exiting an Apple store with the designation of being the first on the block with a specific new product.
For the first time since I started watching Apple's live stream events, there's not a single product that I am considering purchasing. Yes, I was disappointed the long overdue Mac Book Pro refresh was not included. But looking at the bigger picture, for some reason the various presentations that were anchored by Apple CEO Tim Cook seems to have lost the remnants of the Steve Jobs mojo. It's my opinion that presentations should lead with strength, and in this situation Super Mario Run and Pokemon wasn't a good way to start. This is not a good thing for Apple.
When all was said and done and the curtain dropped, it seems the buzz that caught the headlines was more about questions than answers. Unless Apple management fell asleep at the wheel, someone inside this company had to know there would be fallout surrounding its decision to remove the headphone jack from it's iPhone 7 models as this ommission complicates the once simple task of utilizing both the power and headphone ports simultaneously. So, it's time to ask the the big question:
Why is Apple doing this?
The answer seems simple…
Apple, like just every other corporation on the planet is in business to make money and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. For the past decade Apple's been a Wall Street darling and while they are sitting on an unprecedented amount of cash, I'm wondering if the honeymoon is over.
In the past has delivered innovative quality products that do what's promised in the ad slogans that touted, "it just works," and did so in an uncomplicated sleek and ergonomic form factor. Apple has even raised the bar on the methods it packages its product as even the boxes are works of art. Prices on products that are competitive to Apple's offerings are typically lower, but the higher price is offset by an enhanced level of customer service that can be found via a quickly answered phone call or a visit to one of the many Apple company stores.
While it was rumored well in advance, the realization that Apple has started the process of removing the headphone port seems a bit too much to swallow once reality kicked in. I say, "stared the process" as I think the elimination of this port on an iPhone speaks volumes on the shape of things to come.
Apple's Phil Schiller made this announcement and stated, "Now, we know there are people in the world who do have some analog, old connected devices out there. So we've also made this. It's an adapter, lighting to mini-phono audio adapter. And we're going to include that in the box with every iPhone 7 and 7+ as well."
Schiller added, "Now some people have asked, why we would remove the analog headphone jack from the iPhone? I mean it's been with us a really long time. I'm sure you know that the source of this mini phono jack is over 100 years old, used to help quickly exchange at switchboards."
While Apple displayed an image of a vintage telephone operator's switchboard to give us a visual about the age of the headphone jack, it's my opinion that was not a valid comparison. With all due respect Phil, you're incorrect. Those telephone switchboard did not use headphone-sized mini plugs, they used ones that were sized similar to one you would plug into a musical instrument. How do I know? My first job was at a motel and one of my duties was to operate the switchboard and learned how to quickly patch rooms to outside lines or to other rooms within the motel. They were not sized even close to what we associate with today's headphones. In fact, a quick Wikipedia check confirms this by stating…
"The 3.5 mm connector, which is the most commonly used in portable application today, has been around at least since the Sony EFM-117J radio which was released in 1964. It became very popular with its application on the Walkman in 1979."
Maybe Schiller simply didn't want to acknowledge Sony's participation in pioneering this design that has lasted for more than 50 years. Why did it last 50 years? To use an Apple quote, "It just works."
Risky would have been a more accurate choice of words.
Then Schiller went further to say that this move was one of courage for Apple to take such a bold move. I'm sorry, but in this day and age the words courage and headphone jacks should not be associated. Possibly you should have said it took guts to make such a bold move, but using the word "courage" was simply wrong. Risky would have been a more accurate choice of words.
In reality, with modern products, things to evolve and while Schiller did state the internal headphone port required too much space that could make room for other innovations, it seems that Apple has forgotten what it's like to be a consumer. Really, couldn't your designers have figured out a way to add a tiny headphone port? Really?
It seems there could have been a better, less intrusive method to migrate its dedicated users to going from wired to wireless. Possibly if Apple would have followed the steps of other phone makers and incorporated induction charging and using that innovation as the reason to rid the phone of the headphone jack, possibly the introduction would have gone much smoother.
But they didn't.
When floppy disk drives started disappearing from computers, the replacement was the desirable upgrade to a CD drive that provided much larger storage capabilities and added new features as well. CD's were already in use at that time as a replacement for the LP record and due to its larger capacity along with growing hard drives, this transition made sense. As CD drives exited Apple's notebook sized computers, it was replaced with the App Store as the place to purchase programs that enhanced computer usage. These transitions were fairly painless as those who stuck with the previous format could still access the data stored with the connection of an auxiliary drive. It also began the process of users getting involved with the Apple ecosystem. I say this as when a program (or App) was purchased through Apple's App Store and when it was time to get a new computer, the user could simply download the program to the new computer. It was much easier than hunting through desk drawers searching for old CD programs.
Apple's solution to migrating users to the new world of a missing headphone jack is to include a dongle that will allow our existing headphones to connect via the phone's Lightning adapter. Shouldn't that inclusion ease the transiton?
Well, yes and no. Here's the problem…
It seems the issue that adopters of Apple's iPhone 7 lineup will face is the inability to charge the phone while using headphones. Yes, while it wasn't shown on screen at the Apple event, nor is it being manufactured by Apple, there's a dongle that allows for both charging and headphones. Belkin's Lighting Audio + Charge will sell for $40 when it begins shipping next month.
So, let me set the stage. To charge and use standard headphones simultaneously, you'll need the Belkin adapter (shown above), Apple's included Lightning to headphone adapter, a Lightning to USB cable and possibly a plug to insert into a wall socket.
And, if you're like me, you'll need a pair of these:
That connect the headphones to the iPhone with this:
By the time you're finished connecting all of the wires, it could look something like this:
Cables, cables and more cables.
Cables that we will either misplace or ones that will break. I wonder if Apple's honcho of design Jonathon Ive, thought of how people would actually use the new iPhone 7 in real world situations or if he was more focused on creating smooth surfaces that merge together to form an exercise in fluidity and packaged in a very cool box?
Or maybe, he just likes spaghetti.
While I can't speak for others, in a previous post I stated that I like to use headphones when making cellphone calls and that when traveling, I sometimes need to have the phone connected to the power adapter in order to keep the battery from depleting in the middle of a call. What I neglected to mention is my curiosity on how this will work on a long flight? How am I going to use the included headphone-to-Lighting converter dongle while plugging my phone in to keep it powered?
I'll need to buy another dongle and carry a bunch of cables.
Or, I'll need to purchase a wireless headphone or ear buds such as Apple's new AirBuds. And those will need to be kept charged as well. I'm sure I'll need to carry a new power strip to charge all these devices too.
Didn't Apple try this before? When the iPhone was first introduced they offered a tiny Bluetooth headphone that easily paired to the device. But guess what, it soon disappeared. I can only guess that people became tired of losing them.
But now you can start to see where this becomes about the money. It's proprietary connections.
It's my understanding that Apple's Lighting port is one that's considered to be proprietary. This means, Apple owns it. It also means that other manufacturers that want to create dongles for Apple need to pay some sort of royalty or usage fee. Unless someone from Apple tells me otherwise, I'll assume that Belkin, like many other companies are paying for the right to sell products that utilize Apple's Lightning adapter.
Now, let's add to the equation that just two years ago Apple paid $3B for Beats, a company best known for oversized headphones, Apple just got a leg up on its competition by adding to its own ecosystem and has the inside track on beating (pun intended) others to this game. Surely there will be a full lineup of Beats headphones that utilize Apple's Lightning port. Beats also has the advantage over other third party headphone manufacturers as Beats headphones are sold alongside other Apple products inside the Apple Store.
Convenient, huh?
While the Lightning adapter came to us as a replacement for Apple's standard connector, did I mention that I seem to have to order a lot of these Lighting connectors? When they were first launched, they were touted as they could be inserted right side up or upside down. But, it's my experience they are fairly fragile and the internal connections seem to break quite often. Yes, I have to carry an extra Lighting cable or two so that I'm not left stranded without a working cable.
For a company that seems to want to encourage innovation, it seems Apple may need to go back to the drawing board.
So what's next for Apple?
I sure hope they don't take the same path of eliminating the headphone port when its time to upgrade its iPad lineup. I say this as one of the main reasons Apple provided for its justification for eliminating this tried and tested port was that it took up too much space inside an iPhone. I can only guess they needed that space for its new haptic feedback button and they needed this new button technology in order to make the phone somewhat waterproof. So, that's a good thing.
As stated, I travel frequently and for many decades have logged a few million air miles. I remember when portable cassette players such as the Walkman first serviced, when boarding, it was wise to obtain the pilot's approval for usage during flight. If not, the passenger would run the risk of having the Flight Attendant tell you that it couldn't be used on the flight. On the occasion this would happen to me and it was nice to be able to say, "The pilot said it was okay!"
One of the best decisions I've seen come out of the FAA recently was the approval of the use of tablets and iPads during the entire flight. If you look back just a bit ago, passengers would have to wait until the plane reached 10,000 feet before we could use our electronic devices. Since this decision was made, passengers can entertain themselves with an iPad to watch a movie or play a game or whatever, immediately upon taking the seat. The end result, at least for me, was that flying became a bit more pleasurable.
On coast-to-coast or International flights, it was not uncommon for me to plug the iPad into the airlines charging port while using it with my comfortable wired headphones. Since I prefer not to purchase headphones that require disposable or rechargeable batteries, it was a fairly simple procedure.
Yes, if I choose to purchase and carry a dongle and an array of cables, I can have the same experience. But honestly, should I need to do this? Should I need to worry that one of the cables has suddenly decide not to keep a solid connection?
So please Apple, I'm begging you now, please do not remove the headphone port from future iPads. I'm asking nicely.
While I'm at it, the Mac Book Pro I'm using to type this post is getting long in the tooth. So, I'll ask one more favor…
Please do not eliminate the SD card slot when and if you ever release an updated Mac Book Pro. Please understand that some of us use this specific model for video editing and it's a wonderful thing to simply remove the SD card from our cameras and slip it into the Mac Book Pro and then use your Final Cut Pro X for editing. Please, don't tell us that you needed the space and force us to carry another adapter. The rumor mill is telling us that you're planning on taking away our Thunderbolt and trusty USB ports in lieu of a single USB-C port. And we know what that means…
More dongles.
I am not looking forward to the day when I need to tote a bundle of dongles to give the computer the same functionality that was once built into the design.
Sorry Apple, I expect more from you. I honestly thought that you could have come up with a better method to make the transition to a new product fun and exciting. Hey, you used to be able to do this, but now, it's becoming difficult to support your ecosystem. We all know that you're late to the induction charging game and that's coming soon. Maybe that will solve some of the charging issues. Or maybe, it will give us yet another box and dongle to carry with us.
But it could be worse, I could be a new owner of a Samsung Note 7 and be standing in line begging for a replacement that promises not to ignite into a ball of flames.
