(JNS) – A plane carrying 219 new immigrants from Ethiopia to Israel landed at Ben-Gurion International Airport on Tuesday. Their arrival was overseen by the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration, the Jewish Agency of Israel, and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ).
It marks the second flight of "Operation Tzur Israel" ("Rock of Israel").
The group was welcomed by Pnina Tamano-Shata, Minister of Aliyah and Integration; Yael Eckstein, president and CEO of the Fellowship; and Amira Ahronoviz, director general of the Jewish Agency for Israel.
Tamano-Shata said that "through the end of January, and in accordance with the government decision I approved last October, a plane carrying hundreds of Ethiopian immigrants will land in Israel almost every week until the 2,000 people who have waited many years to arrive are reunited with their families."
She was referring to Government Resolution 429, which provides a framework to bring 2,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel by the end of the year. The Dec. 22 flight—the second to arrive under the operation—brought in 219 immigrants, including 136 adults, 70 children and 13 babies.
Eckstein said her organization will make "every effort to assist them and the entire Ethiopian community."
"This is the closing of a particularly moving circle," said Ahronoviz. "After years of not seeing one another, entire families are being reunited. Since the establishment of the state, the Jewish Agency has brought 95,000 immigrants from Ethiopia and helped absorb them into Israel. I wish to thank our partners in Israel and around the world for their joint participation to end their suffering after many long years of waiting."
The new arrivals will go into quarantine, as is the procedure for incoming passengers during the coronavirus pandemic. They will then be reunited with family members. As part of the absorption process, they will receive support and guidance in all aspects of Israeli life, including learning Hebrew and preparation for employment and education.
The flights were made possible by the Jewish Agency; the Jewish Federations of North America and Keren Hayesod; and the support of international donors and foundations.

Microsoft company had firstly introduced a GUI OS in 1985, Microsoft Windows 1.0 was named due to the computing boxes, or "windows" that represented a fundamental aspect of the operating system. Instead of typing MS-DOS commands, windows 1.0 allowed users to point and click to access the windows.
Microsoft had released second version of Windows in 1987, was named as Windows 2.0, which was designed for the Intel 286 processor. This version added desktop icons, keyboard shortcuts and improved graphics support. The second version of windows was included little more advantages on graphics viewing than Windows version 1.0, even though, it wasn't affected very much in the IT industry because it wasn't that much advanced, when was compared with companies/people needs.
Another version of Microsoft Windows 3.0 was released in May-1990 offering better icons, performance and advanced graphics with 16 colors designed for Intel 386 processors. This version is the first release that provides the standard "look and feel" of Microsoft Windows for many years to come. Windows 3.0 included Program Manager, File Manager and Print Manager and games (Hearts, Minesweeper and Solitaire). Microsoft released Windows 3.1 in 1992. This Windows OS also had been running in DOS as underlying platform.
This version of the Windows operating system. Windows NT (New Technology) is a 32-bit operating system that supports preemptive multitasking. There are actually two versions of Windows NT: Windows NT Server, designed to act as a server in networks, and Windows NT Workstation for stand-alone or client workstations. Windows NT server was superior of the server support OS ever than before.
Another version of Microsoft Windows 95 was released in 1995 and was a major upgrade to the Windows operating system. This OS was a significant advancement over its precursor, Windows 3.1. In addition to sporting a new user interface, Windows 95 also includes a number of important internal improvements. Perhaps most important, it supports 32-bit applications, which means that applications written specifically for this operating system should run much faster.
Microsoft Windows 98 offers support for a number of new technologies, including FAT32, AGP, MMX, USB, DVD, and ACPI. Its most visible feature, though, is the Active Desktop, which integrates the Web browser (Internet Explorer) with the operating system. From the user's point of view, there is no difference between accessing a document residing locally on the user's hard disk or on a Web server halfway around the world. This version of Windows also had been using to run MS DOS as a bootable, when it needs to install.
In 2000, there two Windows versions were released by Microsoft company, that they are named as MS-Windows 2000 and MS-Windows ME. Windows 2000 is an operating system for business desktop and laptop systems to run software applications, connect to Internet and intranet sites, and access files, printers, and network resources. Microsoft released four versions of Windows 2000: Professional (for business desktop and laptop systems), Server (both a Web server and an office server), Advanced Server (for line-of-business applications) and Datacenter Server (for high-traffic computer networks). This version of Windows was often abbreviated as "W2K".
The Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition, called "Windows Me" was an update to the Windows 98 core and included some features of the Windows 2000 OS. This version also removed the "boot in DOS" option. This Windows OS wasn't far affected, when it's compared with another earlier released version of Win-2000 OS in the year 2000.
Microsoft Windows XP was released in 2001. This version of Windows was major affected OS, when it's compared with other earlier released versions of OSs. Along with a redesigned look and feel to the user interface, the new operating system is built on the Windows 2000 kernel, giving the user a more stable and reliable environment than previous versions of Windows. Windows XP comes in two versions, Home and Professional. Microsoft focused on mobility for both editions, including plug and play features for connecting to wireless networks. The operating system also utilizes the 802.11x wireless security standard. Windows XP was one of Microsoft's best-selling products in the world.
Microsoft Windows Vista OS was offered an advancement in reliability, security, ease of deployment, performance and manageability over Windows XP. New in this version was features to protect against the latest generation of threats, capabilities to detect hardware problems before they occur, security faster start-up time and low power consumption of the new sleep state. In many cases, Windows Vista is noticeably more responsive than Windows XP on identical hardware. Windows Vista simplifies and centralizes desktop configuration management, reducing the cost of keeping systems updated. Windows Vista is proving to a big level of graphical system for computer game consoles.
Microsoft Windows 7 was released on October 22, 2009 as the latest in the 25-year-old line of Windows OSs and as the successor to MS-Windows Vista (which itself had followed MS-Windows XP). Windows 7 OS was released in conjunction with Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7's server counterpart. Enhancements and new features in Windows 7 include multi-touch support, Internet Explorer 8, improved performance and start-up time, Aero Snap, Aero Shake, support for virtual hard disks, a new and improved Windows Media Center, and improved security.
The Windows 8 was released on August. 1, 2012 and is a completely redesigned operating system that's been developed from the ground up with touchscreen use in mind as well as near-instant-on capabilities that enable a Windows 8 PC to load and start up in a matter of seconds rather than in minutes. The Windows 8 will replace the more traditional Microsoft Windows OS looks and feels with a new "Metro" design system interface that first debuted in the Windows Phone 7 mobile OS. The Metro user interface primarily consists of a "Start screen" made up of "Live Tiles", which are links to applications and features that are dynamic and update in real time. Windows 8 supports both x86 PCs and ARM processors. MS-Windows 8 is given a different traditional of application's viewing such as ribbons instead of menu, layout of whole Windows culture as well.
Microsoft Win 10 is MS's Windows successor to Win 8. Win 10 debuted on July 29, 2015, following a "technical preview" beta release of the new OS that arrived in Fall 2014 and a "consumer preview" beta in early 2015. Microsoft claims Windows 10 features fast start up and resume, built-in security and the return of the Start Menu in an expanded form. This version of Windows will also feature MS Edge, Edge is a MS's new browser. In-order to requirements of Win 10, any of the qualified devices (such as tablets, PCs, smartphones and Xbox consoles) can upgrade to Windows 10, including those with plagiarized copies of Windows.


Managing a monster truck is not like managing a small car or motor cycle. Well, monster trucks are big vehicles whose tyres are bigger and heavier than some of the cars of these days. Managing the monster trucks are real tough jobs for those who are not even used to cars. Well, one of the first thing you would be needing is the initial investment for various things in order to buy and start managing a monster truck. It is not gonna be as easy as it looks.
The cost of a monster truck is more than 100K USD. And this is the rate of an average monster truck with no engine. If you are planning to buy the engine as well, then you would have to invest more money. If that's the case, then prepare to invest about 40 K USD for the engine. So, the total cost for buying an average monster truck with engine comes to 140K USD. Well, if you are thinking of buying high performance monster trucks with great speed, then you would have to think about investing more money. The science behind buying monster trucks is that – the more money you invest, the better monster truck you would be getting. So, prepare to invest more money if you are behind stunning monster trucks and not just an average monster truck. And if you are ready to go with an average monster truck, then as we have mentioned an initial investment of 140K USD would be the trick. Don't think that, you would be getting a cool monster truck for just 140K USD. Managing the monster truck is the toughest of the things. Again you should be investing some money if you are buying it from a place which is located very far from your place. You would have to pay the charges for getting it from that place to your place. Now comes the most important part. You should be spending money for running the monster truck as well. The cost of the fuel is what I have meant here. This is not a car which would run miles with just a litre of petrol. Monster trucks needs more fuel than cars. So get prepared to invest money from your pocket for buying fuel as well for your cool monster truck.

AM Solar Priorities
By having our priorities right, we have been able to build a strong business where cooperative, hard working people can thrive. We are proud of our unique company and enjoy what we do.
The AM Solar Team
Dave Reuter
Dave launched his solar career in 1991 when he installed his first small off-grid solar system on a cabin in the middle of 80 forested acres (it's still working!). He joined AM Solar in 2003 after cycling through several phases of the bicycle industry. He stays healthy by riding to work, managing his home solar system and keeping up with a young son.
Roger Carroll
Sales & Tech Support
Roger is a full-time RVer and workamper, living with solar since 2010. He has been with AM Solar since 2009. He has an Energy Management degree (RE/Sustainability) from Lane Community College, and is a veteran. His alter ego is a musician, playing and singing in a local string band.
Garret has worked in the solar industry since 2009. He has an Electrical Engineering degree and an MBA from Oregon State University. He spends his evenings training Jiu Jitsu and enjoys beekeeping, and raising chickens on his mini farm with his wife and son.
Aldan O'Daol
Aldan is the most senior member of the AM Solar team and likely has more RV solar installation hours than anybody in the world. Aldan is a native of the island of Kosrea and enjoys going to the coast with his family on the weekends.
Cody Enright
Installation Manager & Sales
Cody, as a jack of all trades, has a combined 16 years of professional experience in mechanical maintenance & repair, carpentry, research & development, shop management, and customer care. With some educational background in engineering, he recently directed his career path into the solar industry to fulfill his passion for alternative energy and sustainable living. When he's not reading about tiny homes or renewable resources he's trekking through the Cascades with his wife and two children.
Mitchell Boyer
A Eugene native and outdoor enthusiast, Mitch is always studying the latest trends in energy technology. Prior to working at AM Solar, Mitch spent ten years as a bicycle mechanic honing his installation skills. When Mitch isn't at work (and sometimes when he is) you can find him flying quad copters and taking aerial photography.
Aloysius O'Daol
Ali has been working in the RV industry since 2009 and has been a part of AM Solar since he joined his brother Aldan in 2012. Ali's speciality is the roof, attaching panels securely, keeping them unshaded and routing cables in a way that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. When not masterminding panel layouts, Ali can be found hiking through the forests of the Pacific Northwest and camping with friends and family.
AM Solar is employee owned and operated. In January 2016, Greg and Deb hit the road to enjoy the RV Lifestyle that so many of their customers have been living. The Holders remain as valuable advisors and product testers. Although they won't be in the office very often, they have left the business in good hands with a team of experienced managers who are committed to continuing the tradition of exceptional quality, service and innovation that has been integral to AM Solar's success.
Greg and Deb Holder started working with solar in 1987 as Alternate Means, selling and installing solar systems for a wide variety of applications including vacation cabins, RVs and even a monastery. Later, as the Holders' focus turned to recreational vehicles, RV Solar Consultants was formed.
Seeing the demand for a device to regulate electrical current between solar panels and multiple battery banks, Greg worked with Heliotrope General to design the world's first dual battery solar charger, the RV30. As orders were coming in, a fire destroyed the factory where the charge controllers were being manufactured. Instead of rebuilding, the owner sold the charge controller manufacturing rights to Greg as a percentage of gross sales, thus starting Heliotrope PV. These charge controllers were initially assembled by hand and later outsourced to electrical assembly factories. RV manufacturers were the primary market for the controllers, who without solar, were seeing batteries die while their vehicles waited in assembly line parking lots.
Over time, the expensive analog technology used in the Heliotrope controllers gave way to more efficient digital technology and Heliotrope PV was abandoned, but Greg's foot was in the door and business was booming. In 2002 the Holders founded AM Solar and five years later, they moved into their custom constructed headquarters in Springfield, Oregon.
While growing AM Solar, Greg and Deb lived, worked and played for extended periods of time in their RV. They traveled throughout North America giving seminars at "Life on Wheels" events and attended various other rallies. During these adventures, Greg and Deb spent long periods of time boondocking in remote locations which helped them understand and appreciate the challenges associated with the RV lifestyle.
Over the years, AM Solar has installed power systems on thousands of vehicles and built a respected reputation throughout North America.

Final Conference: Transatlantic Policy Options for the Marine Arctic
Brussels Marriott Hotel, Brussels
Climate change in the Arctic is occurring more rapidly than in any other region in the world. Recent years have seen sea ice retreat at a pace significantly exceeding scientific expectations. Increased access to newly opened waters is also opening the way for new economic opportunities and bringing new challenges. There is a clear need for regional and international co-operation to develop an effective governance framework for the marine Arctic. The Arctic TRANSFORM final conference built on a 15-month transatlantic dialogue involving more than 50 Arctic experts. The experts collaborated to develop policy options for protecting fragile ecosystems, safeguarding the rights and interests of indigenous peoples and promote the sustainable use of resources in marine areas. In addition, the project team prepared background papers to inform the dialogue.
The conference provided a forum for key Arctic stakeholders to focus on solutions to the increasing challenges in the Arctic marine area. High-level speakers from Europe and the United States addressed recent policy developments, highlighting areas where the EU and U.S. could work together in cooperation with the international community to develop effective governance mechanisms in the context of rapid environmental change. A series of interactive panel discussions with experts from government, industry, indigenous peoples' organisations, environmental organisations and academia addressed the latest Arctic policy developments and their implications for the future.
Agenda and Speakers
The conference agenda, which lists the speakers and panelists, is available for download.
Final Conference Summary Report
A draft of the Final Conference Summary Report is now available. Those wishing to submit comments should email them no later than 15 April 2009 to sandra.cavalieri@ecologic.eu.
Arctic TRANSFORM is a Pilot Project for transatlantic methods for handling common global challenges. It is funded through the
European Commission Directorate General for External Relations with Grant Agreement No. SI2.484596.

With a wide range of activities designed to engage large muscle development and small manipulative skills, our staff will engage your child in arts and crafts, coloring, singing, finger plays and much more.
Your child is growing up fast and ready for a little more independence, our preschool program will be a perfect introduction.
When visiting Elite Childcare Academy a parent can expect to be welcomed at the door. They will pass through our security system and check in utilizing our Childcare Manager software.
A new client will have a greeting package that outlines our policies and procedures. Within the package a survey for each child is included to assist us in learning about your child's interests, favorites and fears.
You'll also find survey information pertaining to your expectations of your child's development and the supporting roles of their teachers and class schedule.
At Elite Childcare Academy we have an open door policy. That not only means that parents can visit their children anytime but they can meet with the director with any concerns or questions at any time as well.
Our parents' partnership with early child care providers is needed to be able to communicate at all times, so that we can each assist with development.
Another way we want parents to be included is with our Parent Advisory Board. Here our parents will be able to feel safe to open up and discuss any ideas, suggestions and implementations that are built around our program.
Our program is designed to develop children's positive self-concept and help them grow and learn at their own pace. We offer educational experiences that seek to further the child's physical and mental development.
Learning centers with Elite Childcare Academy are designed to promote children's language skills – listening and speaking – creative thinking, problem solving, number concepts, large and small muscle coordination and responsibility for caring for one's self.
Each day starts with circle time. Children will discuss who's present and sing the welcome song, finishing in large group time with a daily "study" topic. Afterwards, students will be dismissed to choice time.
Following lunch students continue their day with a read-along story time followed by small group time for their daily study activity.
Family style serving allows children to serve themselves and encourages supervising adults to set a personal example and provide educational activities that are centered around foods. This approach allows children to identify and be introduced to new foods, new tastes and new menus while developing a positive attitude toward nutritious foods, as well as sharing in group eating situations and developing good eating habits.
Our center has a large amount of both indoor and outdoor space for each child to explore and play. During the academic year we educate each child on hygiene and basic self-help skills.
Our program is directed towards whatever each child can accommodate academically. Language and vocabulary are emphasized. With this, are the communication skills needed to function as an independent person in our society. Preschool is designed to prepare each child for enrollment in elementary.
Parents will notice that our rooms are divided into small group sizes that rotate through different stations for the day. Our preschool, for example, is divided into two large groups with each having their own lead and assistant teacher.
After large group time groups will be divided for smaller group sizes where the ratio of teacher to child will be intimate, thus allowing for that intimate hands on feel.
Instead of just watching the children, our teachers are actively engaged with each child and are able to pick up on any cues, problems, concerns, delays, and progressions. Active learning and engagement is just part of your child's day.
Beside the use of the bulletin board and the monthly Parent Advisory Board meeting, our parent's will be able to see everything pertaining to their child through a parent portal.
Our parent portal is your resource for staying informed.

These machines have a first page out in less than 8.5 seconds, and come standard with 64Mb of memory depending onthe machine. The HL-6180 series also have duplexing built in. Our HL-6180 machine came with a TN720 starter cartridge,which is rated for 3,000 pages. The starter cartridge does not come with any reset gears.
There are three different toner cartridges available for these machines. The TN720 is rated for 3,000 pages, The TN750 is ratedfor 8,000 pages and the TN780 is rated for 12,000 pages. The TN780 will only fit into the HL-6180 and MFC-8950 machines.
There are different part numbers for these cartridges depending on your region. They are as follows: North/South America Asia/Middle East/Africa Figure shows how the toner and drum cartridges are shipped in a new machine.

For additional support, please contact [email protected] BROTHER® HL-6180 SERIES TN720 • 750 • 780 TONER CARTRIDGE REMANUFACTURING INSTRUCTIONS CURRENT MACHINES RELEASED SO FAR FOR THIS SERIESHL-5440D There is a reset gear that resets the printer each time a new toner cartridge is installed. In our machine, the starter cartridgewas a TN720 and did NOT have a reset gear installed. The TN750 and the TN780 cartridges use different reset gears.
The TN750 gears, in addition to being a different color from the TN780, have one large white flag instead of two smaller gray flagson the TN780. That is how the machine knows if there is a high yield or super high yield cartridge installed. New high yield andsuper high yield reset gears are available so that starter cartridges can be made into high yield or a super high yield cartridge.
The OEM super high yield cartridge is slightly larger than the standard or high yield cartridges, but we feel at this point that thereis enough room to make them super high yield (as of April 2013, this is still preliminary info).
Reset gears serve two purposes. First they reset the printer so it knows a new toner cartridge was installed. Secondly they tell theprinter which cartridge was installed. When the printer senses a new toner cartridge, the bias voltage is set to a high voltage.
As the cartridge is used, the bias voltage is reduced gradually down. This process is necessary because according to Brother,a new toner cartridge has a tendency to print light. As the cartridge is used, the density increases. To keep the density level eventhroughout its life, the density bias voltage is reduced accordingly. Each time a new cartridge is installed, the bias voltage is resetto the high voltage point, and the cartridge page count is reset to zero. Since different yields would dictate different decreases indensity over time, Brother uses different reset gears, which tell the printer how fast to reduce the bias voltage.
NOTE: There have again been some major changes in the way the toner cartridge AND the drum cartridge works in this series.
Because of this we are covering the theory again… NEW BROTHER PRINT THEORYAs with previous Brother cartridges, the waste toner is repelled off of the drum to be transferred to the toner unit, but the methodof how this works is now very different.
Figure shown is a general layout of the component locations.

Failure to do this will cause backgrounding. In addition to contaminating thetoner cartridge, this may also contaminate the cleaning section of the drum cartridge, which in turn will contaminate the tonercartridge again. The reasons for this are explained in the following cartridge theory section.
The first new item in this engine is there is now a paper-cleaning roller in the printer itself. This roller cleans off any extra paperdust before the printing process even starts. It is located just after the paper feed rollers.
The cleaning section of the drum cartridge no longer consists of a "cleaning brush" it is now a paired system of the cleaning rollerassembly and the transfer roller but these rollers only play a minor part. The developer roller now has two jobs. In addition totransferring the good toner to the OPC for printing, it also now cleans off the majority of the waste toner off the drum. This is doneby a very complicated series of different electrical charges and a series of directional changes on the drum and developer rollers.
The developer roller and drum change direction and charge four times per full drum rotation. This is such a complicated processthat the printers actually have a rotation controller PCB with a microcomputer on it to control it all. The cleaning roller cleans off any remaining toner that the developer roller did not remove. The transfer roller basically self cleansitself of any residual toner or paper dust that might have accumulated in the printing process When the drum is cleaned by the transfer roller the surface potential of the drum is dropped (from 900V to about 200V) at thispoint the transfer roller and cleaning roller will release the waste toner to the drum. This waste toner is actually then charged bythe corona wire so that the developer roller can pick it up and bring it back into the toner hopper. Both rollers release the wastetoner at the same time. This was done to keep the print speed high, the power supply smaller and the cost on the two rollers andcartridges down.
The drum unit also now has a small waste chamber next to the cleaning roller. The reason for this waste area is for things likepaper dust that do not transfer well. Since there is a paper-cleaning roller before the cartridges in the printer this area in theoryshould stay fairly empty. The metal roller next to the cleaning roller helps keep the cleaning roller free of anything that doesnot transfer.
Since the developer roller now does most of the cleaning work, the condition of the roller while always important, is now muchmore so. If the roller has any contamination on it from the toner additives, (OEM or aftermarket) it will interfere with the cleaningcycle and ghosting/backgrounding will result. If the cleaning roller gets contaminated and not cleaned properly the same thingwill result. The main culprit for this used to be the charge felt. It is now the developer roller. It is very important that thedeveloper roller be cleaned with a dedicated developer roller cleaner. Never use alcohol of any type, as this will strip theconductive coating off the roller.
Since the waste toner is transferred back into the supply of the toner cartridge. Once you print with a bad toner cartridge,the drum unit will become contaminated. Even when you change out the toner with a good properly recycled or newOEM cartridge, the drum unit will transfer some of the bad toner back into the good toner cartridge, which will againcause backgrounding. Both cartridges will be contaminated again. It can be a vicious circle.
The remaining "toner" in the toner cartridge when toner low is reached is just below the bare minimum that can maintain theproper charge level. When the change toner light comes on, the toner will not charge up to the proper level and will causethe backgrounding. As the toner cartridge reaches the end of its useful life, the printer senses the low charge level in the tonersupply and will try to keep the charge level up. This constant charging keeps an almost "empty" cartridge from backgrounding.
Once the printer cannot get the remaining toner up to the minimum charge, the change toner light comes on. The cartridge atthis point will still be printing properly. If you were to take that same cartridge out of the machine for a few days, and then put itback in the printer without doing anything to it, the cartridge will background. This will happen because the charge level that theprinter was trying so hard to keep up has dissipated out and the materials left can no longer accept a proper charge. 2013 UniNet Imaging Inc.

Make sure that your cartridge technicians thoroughly clean out the supply chamber of the toner cartridge.
2. Clean the developer roller with an approved developer roller cleaner, NOT alcohol! That will strip the conductive coating off.
3. In the event that they forget, and you have a backgrounding cartridge. The toner must be completely cleaned out again (do notuse the toner over!), and NEW fresh toner MUST be installed.
4. Clean the developer roller (again) with an approved developer roller cleaner, NOT alcohol! 5. The drum unit then has to be taken apart and cleaned out with emphasis on the cleaning roller and transfer roller. This is avery simple process but very necessary once it is contaminated.
According to our tests, there will be approximately 60g of toner remaining when the cartridge is spent; this is normal.
The remaining toner however, as stated above, is waste toner/paper dust only and must be thrown out or there will bebackgrounding issues.

Sleepwalking disorder 1. Primary hypersomnia The defining feature of primary hypersomnia (also cal ed idiopathic hypersomnia) is excessive sleepiness that has lasted for at least one month as manifested by prolonged sleep episodes at night or in the day. Excessive sleepiness during the day may result in long naps that fail to al eviate sleepiness, and other associated symptoms include prolonged sleep at night (which can last for 12 hours or more) as wel as sleep drunkenness. Sleep drunkenness describes a drawn out transition from sleep to waking, during which the person is apparently in a state of inebriation, exhibiting partial alertness, disorientation, drowsiness, poor coordination, and even agitated or violent behaviour. Because the person does not feel wel rested even after taking naps, they constantly struggle to stave off feelings of sleepiness. Hypnagogic hal ucinations and sleep paralysis are rare, but may be found among those with primary hypersomnia. The onset of this disorder typical y occurs before the age of 30 and continues on a chronic course unless treated.

Consensus Study Report: Consensus Study Reports published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine document the evidence-based consensus on the study's statement of task by an authoring committee of experts. Reports typically include findings, conclusions, and recommendations based on information gathered by the committee and the committee's deliberations. Each report has been subjected to a rigorous and independent peer-review process and it represents the position of the National Academies on the statement of task.
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine; Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education; Transportation Research Board; Committee on National Statistics; Panel on the Review of the Compliance, Safety, and Accountability (CSA) Program of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
Every year roughly 100,000 fatal and injury crashes occur in the United States involving large trucks and buses. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in the U.S. Department of Transportation works to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. FMCSA uses information that is collected on the frequency of approximately 900 different violations of safety regulations discovered during (mainly) roadside inspections to assess motor carriers' compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, as well as to evaluate their compliance in comparison with their peers. Through use of this information, FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS) identifies carriers to receive its available interventions in order to reduce the risk of crashes across all carriers.
Improving Motor Carrier Safety Measurement examines the effectiveness of the use of the percentile ranks produced by SMS for identifying high-risk carriers, and if not, what alternatives might be preferred. In addition, this report evaluates the accuracy and sufficiency of the data used by SMS, to assess whether other approaches to identifying unsafe carriers would identify high-risk carriers more effectively, and to reflect on how members of the public use the SMS and what effect making the SMS information public has had on reducing crashes.

Q: If Lord Voldemort had succeeded in killing Harry Potter, would he have died? Since Voldemort was resurrected using Harry's blood, part of him would be Harry. Therefore, if he had succeeded with Avada Kadavra and killed Harry, would he have inadvertently killed the blood of Harry within him and therefore broken the very spell that allowed him to be alive? If not, would it have weakened him in any way?

A: Voldemort wasn't threatened in any way by using Avada Kedavra. Harry's blood helped give Voldemort a body but did not sustain him. The Resurrection Spell wasn't dependant on Harry being alive.
I think this is a fascinating and quite complex question. If I understand the question correctly, it's pondering whether Voldemort would have died had he succeeded in killing Harry, since he had used Harry's blood in his regeneration. My answer is no. If he had succeeded in killing Harry then Voldemort would have been unaffected by the fact that he took Harry's blood. The blood helped him regenerate; it did not sustain him. He needed it once and once only, not moment by moment. Harry's death would not have affected Voldemort's lifeforce since the spell which gave him a body had been performed many years beforehand.
Voldemort certainly tried to use Avada Kedavra on Harry on multiple occasions. The final confrontation between Voldemort and Harry at Hogwarts in Deathly Hallows (The Flaw in the Plan) referred to in the question is the only time they met where Voldemort actually had a chance of finishing Harry off (and vice versa, coincidentally). This is the only meeting between the pair where both characters are mortal. Before this moment, Voldemort was sustained by his Horcruxes and could not be killed. And Harry was sustained by the portion of soul embedded within him which tethered him to life whilst Voldemort lived.

"He took my blood," said Harry.
"Precisely!" said Dumbledore. "He took your blood and rebuilt his living body with it! Your blood in his veins, Harry, Lily's protection inside both of you! He tethered you to life while he lives!"
(Deathly Hallows, Chapter 35, King's Cross).

Note that Harry could not die as long as Voldemort lived. The same does not work in reverse. Voldemort did not depend on Harry's lifeforce in that way. Voldemort's immortality is dependent solely on his Horcruxes. He has no other hope of surviving death.
Of course, when he finally does use Avada Kedavra on Harry he comes down with a bad case of the jitters.

Voldemort seemed to be getting to his feet. Various Death Eaters were hurrying away from him, returning to the crowd lining the clearing. Bellatrix alone remained behind, kneeling beside Voldemort.
Harry closed his eyes and considered what he had seen. The Death Eaters had been huddled round Voldemort, who seemed to have fallen to the ground. Something had happened when he had hit Harry with the Killing Curse. Had Voldemort, too, collapsed? It seemed like it. And both of them had fallen briefly unconscious and both of them had now returned...
(Deathly Hallows, Chapter 36, The Flaw in the Plan).

So he falls unconscious whilst the portion of his soul within Harry dies. Then when Harry returns to consciousness Voldemort does too. This is the only damage Voldemort sustains. In all other regards he used Harry's blood as a one-time thing. Voldemort's body wasn't affected, whether Harry lived or died. All his blood does is give Voldemort a body.

"B-blood of the enemy...forcibly taken...you will...resurrect your foe."
(Goblet of Fire, Chapter 32, Flesh, Blood and Bone).

That's all the blood does. No more, no less.

A: It actually weakened him. You can remember from the movie that he falls down after avada kedavra, and avada kedavra actually breaks the spell. But he still has two horcruxes with him(the snake and himself) which die after the Avada Kedavra, so no he won't die and his weakness is as same as losing a horcrux.

Voldemort seemed to be getting to his feet. [...] Bellatrix alone remained behind, kneeling beside Voldemort.

TMS Entertainment, a Japanese animation company, has announced that they have launched two channels that will stream anime in the United States. The launch actually happened back in October; however, the channel was quietly launched. The channels can be watched for free (with ads being supported) if you own an Apple TV, Fire TV, or Roku device. The two channels that are available are TMS Anime and TMS Kids.
Monster Rancher and Sonic X are not complete on that channel. Currently, Monster Ranger only has up to episode 48 available (out of 73 total episodes) while Sonic X is only 1 episode away from completion with 77 out of 78 episodes. TMS announced that more titles will be added in the future with one of those titles confirmed to be Lupin III.

Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport 1930. Aston Martin DB4 Zagato Blue. Bugatti T35 Poland Limited Edition. Ferrari 250 GTO 1962 Le Mans. Maserati Tipo 61 1960 Cuba GP #7 Moss. Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR 1955 Mille Miglia #701. And the list goes on. Each piece is meticulously hand-assembled from thousands of individual parts to create a marvelous automotive miniature that's equal parts historically memorable and stunningly beautiful. If you have any interest in owning a pint-sized version of your favorite vintage car, you'll find the perfect model car from Racing Heroes.


1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking pan with cooking spray.
2. Combine buttermilk, eggs, relish, mustard and Tabasco in a bowl.
3. In a large bowl, using a whisk, mix together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Stir buttermilk mixture into cornmeal mixture to combine; let stand about 5 minutes until mixture is thick. Using a whisk again, whisk mixture until smooth; transfer to a tall measuring cup.
4. Cut each hot dog into three pieces crosswise. Dip dogs into batter, coating entirely. It gets a little messy but just make sure they are all fully coated. You might need to use your finger to smear the batter around. It doesn't matter if they don't look perfectly shaped. Mine don't but still taste great.
5. Place corn dogs on baking pan. Spray the corn dogs with cooking spray.
6. Bake for 15 minutes on 1 side, turn over, coat again with cooking spray and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.
7. Place a toothpick in each. Serve at once with ketchup and mustard on the side.

Charrette and Street Team Stories
In the last post, we talked about the format of the charrette and some examples of how questions were answered. This post dives more deeply into the personal and community stories that were gathered at the charrette and the "Street Team" table we had earlier that morning. The Street Team mapped stories that visitors wrote down and many of them were continued in the charrette.
Our Street Team table at BlackCom2018 at the Carolina Theatre, Durham NC.
The questions were broad but flexible in that people could answer in generalizations or with very specific examples. Some people took the prompts literally and named places like Eastside Oklahoma City, Rentiesville, Portland, and Detroit as their examples of communities. Others understood the concept of community in a more abstract way, citing "Hip Hop" and "Black artists." Both interpretations speak to the CDAT's use of community, both tangible and non concrete.
Some of the stories were just snippets, like the one from St. Helena's Island. The participant wrote that they were invested in the history of "grandmother midwives, healing traditions of the Sea Island for post-natal care." This participant added in the "What does this Community need to better tell its story?" section that space was needed for preservation but also components like opportunities for researchers as well as public health advocacy and its history were needed.
One participant focused on how the historic practices of systematic racism continue to harm residents of Battery Drive (now Heights) Raleigh, NC. This participant wrote that the community needs "sustainable and accessible resources to keep long-time residents (older), and generational homes in the family and protect against predatory practices to sell (tax relief and assistance for elderly, assistance for home improvement and maintenance) – you can't have an oral history if the people are kicked out." They also remarked on the need for equitable landmark preservation designations. This first point, about the housing practices and maintaining generational homes related to a BlackCom panel "Financial Resources for the Underserved & Underbanked." Panelists spoke about the problems that arise from communities lacking financial and property legacies, answering questions like "Q: what other barriers exist in the black community for the transfer of wealth? A: redlining, lack of financial legacy, institutional barriers to homeownership, equitable protection for families."
One of my personal favorites from the Street Team table was a response about the Greentown community in Georgetown, South Carolina. When asked what this community needs, the response was:
My mother, Dorothy Alston was the first African American Nurse in my hometown. She worked at Georgetown Memorial Hospital in Georgetown, South Carolina. Oftentimes, in our community, people would come knock on our door in the middle of the night for medical care. The reason being that my mother would serve as the medical provider/ nurse/ doctor. Back then many people didn't go to the doctor because they just couldn't afford it.
The Street Team and charrette data made it very clear that there are no quick fixes for communities. There are concrete needs: space, funding, outreach. But there are intangibles also: visibility, trust building, reconciliation, and acknowledging the legacies of oppression and a history of being taken advantage of by those in positions of power. There are needs beyond historic preservation and the interwoven nature of policy, public health, and financial education need to be better studied. Positionality matters and the historic record has not accurately represented those in marginalized spaces. One or two charrettes or community mapping projects can't fix that. But informed action can shift the paradigm.

What is a Charrette?
A charrette is a focus group that brings together a wide variety of stakeholders in order to map solutions. Originally used in the Public Health field, our CDA Team and others have borrowed the term for community and cultural heritage work. Our charrettes bring individuals together to collaborate and workshop ideas for a common community vision. We focus on topics such as promoting and protecting cultural heritage, telling underrepresented histories, and discovering archival assets in communities. For our CDA team, we collaborate with a diverse group of stakeholders and individuals such as funders, librarians, community members, professors and academics, town officials, activists, artists, and archivists. These diverse participants ensure that the charrette isn't an echo-chamber. Rather, members share a desire to invest in and protect a community but from different angles and perspectives.
A good charrette invites community expertise and specific knowledge of the historical and cultural dynamic; members within the community know the needs far better than we ever could. A common and often deadly shortcoming of any institutional project is to assume the institution knows what's best for the community. Equally devastating is when an institution has a real desire to participate but struggles to have meaningful, sustained engagement. Both examples lead to institutions flailing in a sea of uncertainty and ineffectiveness. Charrettes are one way to counter these outcomes. It can be eye opening and humbling to have community members speak to historic problems and instances of broken trust face to face. For the charrette hosted by CDA in April at Black Communities: A Conference for Collaboration we asked individuals to share their knowledge of an African American community, its needs, and some hidden history highlights.
Our charrette was an informal lunchtime meeting. We provided a worksheet (with consent form to use the data collected included!) with a few questions, each probing a little more deeply into the needs and histories of communities. These questions asked participants to identify a place and describe how history is either being preserved or ignored. Our focus was (and remains) geared towards archival and cultural heritage so our questions related to storytelling and preservation of histories and materials. Our first question asked participants to identify a place and a little-known history from that area. Some of the towns and communities identified were Starkville, MS, Riceville, TX, Shreveport, LA, Halifax County, NC, Chicago, IL, and Winston-Salem, NC. Some participants told their family's history while others focused on broader groups such as the Indigenous peoples and industries.
The second question was "What does this community need to better tell its story?" One participant from Halifax County, NC wrote: "support with National Park Service applications, (land owner contacts and research) oral history interview compilation and other related supports." Another participant interested in Riceville, TX noted that their community need "oral history work" and a project to address that was underway.
The third question asked specifically "How is African American history preserved and shared in this community?" A participant from Shreveport, LA wrote "Southern U archives, (opening soon) North Louisiana Civil Rights Museum and NORLA Preservation Project (restoring shotgun houses)." Another participant from Chicago IL stated "History is preserved through oral conversations, research and personal narratives. We celebrate the lives of our ancestors through continual community building and grass roots organizing." The emphasis on in-person communication is something that a charrette works hard to emulate and build upon.
Our final question asked to identify next steps. Preservation is important, but it must lead to something. We wanted to know how the ideas from this charrette could inform not only our work but work within the community. Charrettes can be all day affairs or an hour, like ours at Black Communities. Charrettes are connective, collaborative, exploratory and possibly explosive. All these attributes indicate that these types of in-person focus groups are necessary to identify need and ultimately movement. As one participant perfectly summed up, "information has to drive advocacy."

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: EKAAMP
Bernetiae Reed, CDAT Project Documentarian and Oral Historian, reflects on her participation in the Eastern Kentucky Social Club (EKSC) Reunion and exhibit by Dr. Karida Brown of EKAAMP in St. Louis, Missouri.
Time was a blur as I traveled to St. Louis and back! Plans had been made. I would be taking selected archival items from the Eastern Kentucky African American Migration Project (EKAAMP) deposit collections on a road trip! I ask you, how best to see and experience America? How best to envision a different time? Nothing like it! So, off I went . . . I will spare you the intricacies of my journey, but highly recommend travelling behind trucks at night to safeguard against hitting a deer!
My goals on this journey, as Project Documentarian and Oral Historian for the Community-Driven Archives grant at the SHC, were to record events and assist with the installation of the exhibit. Two related events were taking place stemming from African American mining communities in Eastern Kentucky. The 49th Annual Eastern Kentucky Social Club gathering and the release/book signing for Dr. Karida Brown's book, Gone Home: Race and Roots through Appalachia which included the launch of a travelling exhibit.
Figure 1: (l-r) Dr. Karida Brown, Hilton Hotel Staff, Richard Brown holding posters (Karida's father) and Dwayne Baskin pulling program items from hotel storage
As soon as we settled into the downtown St. Louis hotel, Friday (August 31st), morning and into the Saturday afternoon, we were fanatically installing the exhibit. Tracy Murrell, an Atlanta-based artist and curator, was shepherding her vision of this exhibit to life. Tracy had been hired by Karida for the project. Use of wonderful shear wall hangings printed with photographic images transported us to the coal mining town of Lynch, Kentucky. Additionally, a throw-back-in-time couch took you to a typical home from the era.

Many moments stand out for me. Karida opening the doors to the exhibit, Jacqueline Ratchford reacting to seeing her prom dress on display, Derek Akal talking about his current plans to become a miner, people interacting with artifacts in the collection, and so much more. People reminisced, touched, told stories, laughed, cried, and so much more . . . this was their family and a part of them! Needless to say, I videotaped only a small portion of everything that was happening. From hotel lobby . . . to each event venue . . . to brief walks in downtown St. Louis . . . to church service in the hotel . . . time flew by! Karida beamed as she signed her book. Everywhere people were greeting and hugging old friends. And a beautiful welling of emotions came in watching the young praise dancers who performed during the church service. I was captivated by their pantomime . . . brought to laughter and tears. And had a special sense of wonder for the youngest mime, not understanding how one so young could draw on life's joys and pains so well. Finally, satisfied that the power to be moved again by this performance and the journey to St. Louis was possible with what had been recorded.

What is a Community Archive?
Community archives and other community-centric history, heritage, and memory projects work to empower communities to tell, protect, and share their history on their terms. In 2017, the Southern Historical Collection at the Wilson Special Collections Library of the University Libraries was generously funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for a grant to "form meaningful, mutually supportive partnerships that provide communities with the tools and resources to safeguard and represent their own histories." We argue that "Community archive models and community-driven archival practice address the 'symbolic annihilation'[to quote Michelle Caswell] of historically marginalized groups in the historical record, and aim to create sustainable and accessible memory projects that address these archival absences."[1]
So what does it mean? A whole host of complex, complicated moving parts that if done right could transform the historical record! And it wouldn't just be the grant funded community driven archives team (CDAT) doing it, but rather a true collaboration between the CDAT and communities to keep communities in control of their narratives.
Communities can preserve their history in a myriad of ways. They can keep records in brick and mortar buildings like the Mayme A. Clayton Library and Museum, or they can curate a digital archive like the South Asian American Digital Archive.[2] Communal heritage or memory can be expressed through historic markers or murals, like the Portland Street Art Alliance's "Keep on the Sunnyside Mural Project"[3] and through guided walking tours, such as those created by the Marian Cheek Jackson Center.[4] History and heritage can even be expressed through parades, commemorations, and community celebrations. In her article, "The records of memory, the archives of identity: Celebrations, texts and archival sensibilities" Jeannette A. Bastian notes,
the relationships between collective memory, records, community and identity as expressed through a particular celebration—a carnival— [is] located within the paradigm of a cultural archive. That paradigm theorizes that if an annual celebration can be considered as a longitudinal and complex cultural community expression, then it also can be seen dynamically as a living archive where the many events within the celebration constitute the numerous records comprising this expression.[5]
Community archival work can also be done in public libraries like the Queens Memory Project or with the support of universities like the SHC's Community-Driven Archives project. We call our work community driven archiving because we take cues from community members on the best ways to support their memory work, we would not trample the long standing tradition of community owned and operated archives by co-opting their name.
We understand that working with communities to create archival, historical and heritage-based projects means grappling with complex issues of identity, ownership, and legacies of marginalization. Community history has always been present; the community archives movement didn't suddenly discover these histories.[6] We have a lot more to share about our perspective and experiences with community driven archival work, including its benefits and challenges for a large organization with a complex history like the University Libraries. With this post we are signaling that boosting community voices in all their intersectional, diverse, complicated and creative outputs is a top priority in the Southern Historical Collection these days.
This is a model we created to help us visualize the relationship between traditional archival users and community-history creators. By changing the emphasis on who is being considered essential to the archives story, you can completely change the priorities.

Think back on a time when software was released after long, drawn-out waits. From 2007 to 2016, Microsoft released versions of Office every three years. Now, software releases are fast and frequent. But are they better? Those three-year gaps allowed Microsoft to painstakingly QA test their software for months, if not years. However, Office has now gone the path of other apps, which seem to release new versions weekly, if not more often.
If there's a bug in the code, the solution seems to be simply rolling out another version and hoping it fixes it (and doesn't break anything else). But in this fast-paced SDLC world, organizations must make time for QA testing as part of the software pipeline.
If your organization would like to test the validity or build quality of a new product or a significant redesign before it hits the market, consider a beta release. Invite fellow coders and power users to test a piece of software while it's still in the pipeline in order to get UX, UI and general feedback on the product.
This seems to be a logical option, but for many developers, this is easier said than done. It can be easy to say, "Let's just add this one more item before we beta test this," which quickly turns into "Wait, what if we added these three other items?" Planning a beta test following a specific sprint is incredibly important at the onset of the project's roadmap. Don't think that it will happen organically — it probably won't.
With many organizations investing significant time and resources into digital transformations, automation and artificial intelligence are no longer "the next big thing" — because they're here. Even simple apps incorporate predictive technology and predictive algorithms. As a result, testing must follow suit. This is where AI can assist testing in the software pipeline.
AI and predictive technology can run tests far faster than any single person or team could, finding software flaws in minutes rather than days, weeks or months. Exposing these flaws quickly can help developers resolve them before the next iteration, ensuring weekly updates go out with far fewer flaws. This allows the software pipeline to move quickly and smoothly without requiring teams to fix what's broken before moving on to new implementations.

Vice Arabia Launches in Middle East With Original Documentary 'Bil Arabi' (EXCLUSIVE)

ROME – Vice Media launched into the Middle East on Monday with its new Vice Arabia platform and its first local original production, an hour-long documentary about Arab millennials titled "Bil Arabi" ("In Arabic").
The documentary was shot in 12 cities in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Syria, the UAE, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, and the Palestinian occupied territories. Vice calls it an attempt to provide "an honest and unflinching lens" on young Arabs from different nationalities and walks of life, a kind of "cinematic Arab youth census" that will spawn further local productions covering "topics ranging from religion, drugs and politics through to love, media and money."
Islam Alrayyes, editor-in-chief of Vice MENA, called the documentary "a testament to the important work we'll aim to do at Vice Arabia in representing the many voices of young people across the region."
Vice's new Middle Eastern operation, announced earlier this year, is based in Abu Dhabi. It will produce lifestyle content in multiple languages including Arabic, English, Farsi, Turkish and Urdu. Content is to be translated and published across all of Vice's global platforms, shining an international spotlight on the region but also throwing up potential challenges amid growing turbulence and fears that Arab media is being increasingly muzzled.
Alrayyes, who previously served as head of digital content at Abu Dhabi Media, will lead a team of writers, editors, directors and producers overseeing Vice Arabia's output.
Heading the Middle Eastern operation as managing director for Vice MENA is Jason Leavy, who was previously managing director of UAE-based marketing agency Edelman Dabo. In addition to editorial and content divisions, Vice Arabia's Abu Dhabi office will house the regional hub of its in-house ad agency, Virtue Worldwide, headed by newly appointed CEO, EMEA, Rob Newlan, formerly of Facebook.
Vice Media's Middle Eastern launch comes as the youth-oriented company continues to expand its global footprint via multi-platform partnerships with players around the world, including Afghan media company Moby Group in the Middle East, African telecom company Econet (for Vice's planned 2018 launch in sub-Saharan Africa), Brazil's Globosat, and Times of India in India. Vice expects its content to go out in more than 80 territories by the end of the first quarter of 2018.

Of their many monsters, Universal has seemed most interested in keeping The Mummy alive forever. Between this weekend's Dark Universe re-reboot with Tom Cruise, the original Karloff features, and of course this debt, Stephen Sommer's turn of the century swashbuckling, treasure seeking, adventure that kicked off a trilogy, it appears opening the sarcophagus is always a good idea #DimeADozen
