Using least squares and tobit in second stage DEA efficiency analyses
McDonald, John
The paper examines second stage DEA efficiency analyses, within the context of a censoring data generating process (DGP) and a fractional data DGP, when efficiency scores are treated as descriptive measures of the relative performance of units in the sample. It is argued that the efficiency scores are not generated by a censoring process but are fractional data. Tobit estimation in this situation is inappropriate. In contrast, ordinary least squares is a consistent estimator, and, if White's [White, H., 1980. A heteroskedastic-consistent covariance matrix and a direct test for heteroskedasticity. Econometrica 48, 817-838] heteroskedastic-consistent standard errors are calculated, large sample tests can be performed which are robust to heteroskedasticity and the distribution of the disturbances. For a more refined analysis Papke and Wooldridge's [Papke, L.E., Wooldridge, J.M., 1996. Econometric methods for fractional response variables with an application to 401(k) plan participation rates. Journal of Applied Econometrics 11 (6), 619-632] method has some advantages, but is more complex and requires special programming.

Hi, for custom rating fields, with a custom layout, you can edit them the same way you edit the normal rating (with the stars pictures) by adding these widgets : Stars2(field=FIELD_ID1) Stars3(field=FIELD_ID2), where FIELD_ID is the field id of those custom rating field.
Though currently the stars picture will be the same for all the rating field, I'm going to add an option to change it.
About adding submenus to edit custom ratings, moods and other label-like fields, you can't currently. But it was only lacking a few things, so you'll see a commit soon, I'll reply when I it's done.
Forgot to reply, I've committed the changes a week or two ago.

You'd think you already knew everything about the controversial rapper who isn't afraid to say what's on his mind, but it seems Mr West has a few skeletons hiding in his closet. We know the obvious – his love for reality star, Kim Kardashian, his global music success, and well, I think we're all aware that he can come across as super-crazy – but what in the world has Ye not shared with his millions of fans?
To find out some crazy facts about Kanye West, continue reading below…
1. His Dad Was a Black Panther
He dedicated a few lyrics to his pops on The Life of Pablo, but I'm sure you're one of the many to wonder about Kanye's father. Ray West was a black panther in the 60's and 70's before becoming one of the first black photojournalists at the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. According to Kanye, "My father was a paparazzo himself. My father was a medical illustrator, a Black Panther, a Christian marriage counselor." With such a strong role model in his life – it makes sense that Kanye has passionate views and wants to share them with the world.

2. Kanye Lived in China
Ye had quite the interesting up-bringing. Born in Atlanta, Kanye later lived on his own with his mum in Chicago, after his parents divorced at the age of three due to "financial issues". His mum Donda, who passed away in 2007, was an English University professor and they moved to China for a year whilst she was a visiting professor there. Kanye was 10 at the time and apparently quickly picked up the language, although he has since forgotten most of it.

3. He Often Attacks the Paparazzi
He's known to get involved in various celebrity feuds but did you know that Kanye also often fights with the paps? With numerous encounters with the photographers, Kanye literally despises them. He even went as far as to say "he hates them more than Nazis" in one of his records. When he was grilled about this by a journalist, his lawyer was quick to shut down the conversation and walk away from the interview. Kanye has faced charges in the past of battery and attempted grand theft when in connection with an LAX attack, where a photog claimed that Kanye injured him. Well, there's no denying that – the Yeezus rapper was photographed wrestling the man to the ground. Insane.
4. Michael Jackson Admired Yeezy's Style
Indeed. MJ was a super-fan of Kanye and had serious style envy for the rapper. The legend himself called Kanye to ask about the jacket that he wore in his Stronger music video. Turns out, Yeezy also had the same admiration for the King of Pop. He revealed in an interview with Zane Lowe that "For me, as Kanye West, I would not be Kanye West if it wasn't for Michael Jackson…"
5. His Net Worth is around $145 Million
It's not surprising that Ye sits on this amount of wealth. He immerses into a lot of business ventures including music, fashion, architecture, technology and film. Oh, and he's married to one of the most famous and richest women in the world – none other than Kim Kardashian.
6. Kanye's a College Drop Out
Kanye bagged himself a scholarship at Chicago's American Academy of Art for a year, then transferred to Chicago State for a degree in English. He eventually dropped out and went on to produce his very first album, The College Dropout which was mostly about having the guts to embrace who you are rather than following the path that society has imprinted for you.
7. He Had a Number of Normal Jobs Before Making it Big
Before Yeezy made a name for himself, he worked a number of jobs which included telemarketing and insurance sales. "I was way better than most of the people there," he once told Playboy. "I could sit around and draw pictures, basically do other [things] while I was reading the teleprompter." He truly is a man of many talents…
8. Kanye Produced Jay-Z's Tracks Before Stardom
Kanye got his big break in 2000 by becoming a producer for artists on Roc-A-Fella Records. He was super influential on Jay-Z's album, The Blueprint where he produced 5 of the 13 tracks on there – more than any other producer. This is where Jay noticed the talent Kanye has and the bromance began.
9. He Recorded a Song with his Jaw Wired Shut
After falling asleep at the wheel, Kanye was involved in a near-fatal car crash which left him with a shattered jaw. Bed-ridden in hospital, with the notorious rapper going out of his mind, he had an electronic drum machine delivered to the hospital so he could work on his music. He even recorded a song with his jaw still wired shut. We told you these would be crazy facts…
Roc-A-Fella Records
10. His First Big Purchase Was an Aquarium
Following The College Drop-Out's success; the fashion mogul rewarded himself with an 18th-century aquarium – filled with 30 koi fish and a cherub-shaped gold fountain on a marble base in the centre. I guess that's what his lifelong dream was?
11. Kanye is NOT a Talented Dancer
If you happened to miss Kanye's strange little boogie during his performance at the foundation Louis Vuitton event in Paris in 2015, here's a little preview. His robotic dance moves sent internet fans into a frenzy with people all over the world bashing his less than coordinated "body pop". The rapper's funny but strange robot-dance even became an internet phenomenon! It's best to leave the dancing to Breezy and focus on your lyrics, Ye!
12. He Once Considered Suicide
It's no secret that Kanye has struggled with his mental health. He was even hospitalized in 2016 after suffering from "temporary psychosis", paranoia and depression. Although this may have been triggered after his wife, Kim was robbed and held hostage, Kanye has admitted in the past that he once considered suicide.
13. Kanye's Feuded With Taylor Swift Since 2009
You're probably already aware of Kanye's very public feud with Taylor Swift. It all started when Kanye interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs in 2009 stating that Beyonce deserved the award for Best Female Video instead. The latest drama revolved around his single, Famous where he rapped "I feel like me and Taylor might still have s*x. why? I made that b***h famous!" Taylor denied approving such a misogynistic comment and the drama escalated, with Kim even stepping in to defend her husband. It doesn't look like their feud is due to end anytime soon.
14. He Admitted That he Thought of Being a Pornstar
He's a rapper, song-writer, record producer, fashion designer, artist, genius and visionary…what else could possibly be missing from Kanye's resume? Hmm, a pornstar maybe? The multi-millionaire admitted that the thought of being a male pornstar crossed his mind. "That career choice popped into my head once or twice. Which guy doesn't want that? Just sometimes in their life. This was my mentality before I was engaged." Nothing seems to amaze us when it comes to the Louis Vuitton Don.
15. He Launched a Travel Company
The workaholic launched an online travel company called "Kanye Travel Ventures" (KTV) through his official website in 2008. He also dabbled in the food chain opening burger joints called 'Fat Burger' in Chicago that very same year. He opened a second before running into some financial problems and so he closed them down in 2011.
16. Kanye's Always Loved Kim Kardashian
There were a few famous ladies in Kanye's life but it seemed he always had a secret thing for Kim the whole time. The lyrical genius was engaged to fashion designer, Alexis Phifer from before his crazy relationship with model Amber Rose. All along though he had his eyes set on the current Mrs. West. "I just knew I wanted her to be my girl for a long time," Kanye told Ryan Seacrest. "I remember I saw a picture of her and Paris Hilton, and I remember telling my boy, 'Have you seen that girl Kim Kar-dijon?'"
17. He Broke Down on Stage in Paris
Kanye truly struggled with his mother's death and broke down mid-performance in Paris whilst rapping the song Hey Mama which was written about the most important person in his life. He really isn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve and show who he truly is.
18. Kanye Wants to Be the Next President of the USA
Kanye is known for his "out-there" ideas, but this one shocked us all. While speaking at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards in August 2015, Kanye finished his 13-minute monologue by revealing, "As you probably could've guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president." Yeah, you read that right. Kanye has decided to change his career path. Who knew he had such high political ambitions? Mr Trump, watch your back.
As crazy and outrageous as they are, these facts will make you love the loud-mouthed rapper a little bit more. He doesn't shy away from who he is and puts it all out there for us to see.

Int. Cl. A61n /00; H05b 9/06 US. Cl. 128-410 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A radiator element, for example in form of a pair of concentric cylinders, a cylinder with a wire therein, is formed such that a slot effect is obtained; the slot is dimentioned and arranged to be out of resonance with a supply frequency, so that radiation from one slot region will be superimposed upon the radiation of another slot region, to provide a radiation pattern in a well defined region of the body, to which the radiator element is applied.
The present invention relates to electrodes, or antennas to radiate microwave energy for use in microwave therapy.
The electrodes, according to the present invention, consist of an envelope, or casing of conductive material which is formed with radiating slots. Radiation is emitted to the outside of the envelope through the slots, and can be beamed to a desired direction, for example towards a desired part of the human body, or to other objects to be treated, or irradiated with microwaves. The electrodes according to the invention enable the application of microwaves in the medical field because they permit the application of microwaves in various specific beam patterns to a well defined spot to be treated, so that no energy is lost, and stray energy can be avoided. Thus, a supply of microwave energy at about 10 watts, requiring apparatus which in the aggregate weights only about 1 /2 kg. is feasible, although equipment having an equal effect, and not being capable of presenting microwave energy in well defined regions may require total energy of from 100 to 150 watts, involving equipment weight of upwards of 12 kg.
It is an object of the present invention to provide antenna radiators for microwave frequency energy which are efiicient, capable of directing energy in a predetermined pattern and location, and additionally of sufficient small size'and light weight to be useful in medical applications.
Briefly, in accordance with the present invention, radiating slots or slot regions of special form and configuration are provided in antenna elements and dimensioned such that they are radiating out of phase, and out of frequency with respect to each other but in such a manner that the radiation from any one of the slots will add to that of any other, so that the total radiation diagram, representing the radiation effect as a whole will be as desired. The radiator element itself may have various forms; for example, a ring-shaped slot radiator with circular polarization may be provided, having a minimum of radiation in the axial direction which, when properly shielded, can be used to irradiate the sinus cavities surrounding the eye, leaving the eye however free of radiation.
Radiating slots, as such, are known and have been used heretofore with dimensions arranged to resonate at the frequency to be used. The narrow radiating slots, according to the present invention, are not in resonance with the radiation and produce a combined radiation pattern which, when viewed from a point outside of the radiation chamber, will be a composite of the radiation from each one of the slots, each one emitting radiation in a certain direction with a certain polarity, at a certain amplitude and phase. When a number of such slots are used, which have different directions of radiation, the effects of radiation of these slots with respect to the point outside of the chamber will add, so that a total radiation diagram representing the effect of the radiator as a whole can be obtained.
FIG. 7 is a plan view of the electrode of FIG. 6, and indicating a radiation pattern.
Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2: electrodes 1', 1", cylindrical in shape, are separated by a gap forming a slot at the upper end in FIG. 1, and are closed, at the bottom, to provide a cavity in the form of a .cylindrical ring therebetween. The effective axial length of the cavity is M4; the effective length is equal to the axial length, when the gap is an air gap, but may be reduced if the cavity is filled with a dielectric material. The upper opened rim of the cavity is curved to fit the contour of the object which is to be irradiated. FIG. 1 illustrates a curvature to fit over the human eye. The cavity has an outer metallic wall 1", with an upper open slot. A ring-like extension 2 (FIG.
1) is provided to bear against the human body; extension 2' may be covered with an elastic covering 4, such as soft rubber or foamed plastic. A representative radiation diagram is indicated by dotted lines R; the radiation, as appears from the diagram, is in form of a ring, with no radiation emanating from the center. Excitation power to obtain the radiation is applied by connection to a coaxial cable at point C, as well known in the art. The polarization of the radiation will be circular. As each dipole element of the slot has a corresponding dipole element oscillating with the same amplitude, but opposite in phase, radiation along the central axis is a minimum. This minimum may, however, be distributed by reflections at the surface of the body to which the electrode is applied; if the eye is deeply set into the head, residual radiation may fall thereon. A second resonance chamber 3 formed by inner wall 1' of the main resonance chamber 1, and by a further cylindrical metallic element 3 is coupled, by such residual radiation, to oscillate in a phase which will broaden and deepen the radiation diagram R, and effectively remove any axial components of radiation. FIG. 2 illustrates a slightly different version of the electrode of FIG. 1, and an improvement, in that within the inner cylinder 3 is shown an elongated element 5, slidable within cylindrical wall 3'. Spacing from the cylindrical wall can be obtained by small dielectric elements, not shown, as well known in the art. The upper rim of wall 1', curved to fit the eye, is shown at 2. The lower rim, illustrated at 2", is curved to conform to the contour of the upper rim 2 so that the axial length of the cavity between wall 1 and wall 1" is maintained. Element (FIG. 2) additionally shields the eyeball from radiation.
galvanized plastic or the like, and may be arranged with a handle to be hand-held and to be pressed against the region to be irradiated, for example against the head of a patient around the eye, by compression of resilient ring 2", so that the eye may be opened freely. Since the lower end of the electrode unit may be open, that is only the cavity bounded by walls 1', 1 need be closed as shown at In (FIG. 1), the eye may be opened freely and the patient can look beyond the electrode. This point is of particular importance for the feeling of safety and security of the patient. It is also possible to fasten or secure the radiating electrode to a special belt or holding element, so that it can be secured to the head if radiation is to extend for an appreciable period of time.
FIG .4 illustrates another form of an electrode having a circular slot, to produce circular and linearly polarized radiation. This electrode contains a central supply wire 6, to be connected to a coaxial cable as known in the art. Wire 6 is connected to a radiation wire 8, of approxi mately circular outline, located within a cavity 7 which is cup-shaped, and forming a reflector. The circumferential length of wire 8 is preferably 2X)\/ 2; ring 8 is connected by means of a mechanically strong wire 9, extend ing downwardly into the cup and then in a half-turn around the circumference to a radial spoke wire 10 and then to central conductor 6, as shown in FIG. 4. The wire 9, and the metallic wall together form an unsymmetrical Lecher system, having a fixed wave resistance. Wire 10 has a length of M4, and a coaxial cable formed of the metal extension of cup 7 and wire 6 has preferably the same resistance.
The system of FIG. 4 is adapted to radiate with two components, namely with two M2 dipoles, connected in parallel with a linear 'vector sum in linear polarization, and also at the same time as a homogeneous loaded ring in a ring-shaped field. The ring-shaped field exists between the wall and the antenna ring and is circularly polarized with a minimum of radiation in the central axis, similar to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2. The edge of electrode 7 again may be padded, for example by means of foamed rubber 7 which may also be formed to extend across the entire electrode to seal the element against dirt or contamination, and as schematically indicated in FIG. 4.
The electrode wire 8 of FIG. 4 need not be circular; referring to FIG. 5, approximately the same amplitude of radiation for both circular and linear polarization can be obtained when the ring has preferably an elliptical shape, and connected to the central conductor 9 at a point about 45 with respect to the larger axis of the ellipse. Such a wire 8', connected at point 9, and the geometric relationship of the wire to the electrode cup 7 is illustrated in FIG. 5.
FIG. 6 illustrates another embodiment of an electrode in cup shape, utilizing similar principles as shown in FIG. 4. It permits a larger field to be applied to the human body, and thus can result in a larger area over which the blood circulation is to be improved by radiation. The total energy to be used will be the same as that in the electrode of FIG. 4. Referring now to FIG. 6, the radiating electrode, or antenna, contains a ring 12 twice the length of the ring 8 in FIG. 4, that is a length of four \/2. By inserting small circumferential discontinuities, in the form of re-entrant, U-shaped bends 11, ring 12 can cover a surface three times as large as the electrode of FIG. 4 having ring 8 therein. The wave length to be used with such an electrode can be about 12 cm. (S-band). The individual portions of this ring radiator are oscillating in phase opposition, due to the double wave .length wire; the radiation,-thus, will be practically zero at any appreciable distance from the electrode, while close to the electrode, the radiation will have four distinct maxima 13, as schematically illustrated in FIG. 7. The total energy of radiation, although the same as that of the electrode of FIG. 4, is now concentrated at the four spots 13. As a result of the paths of nerves, muscles, and blood vessels in the human body, which extend in many various directions, and are interlaced, the human body does not react to the four maxima, spots 13, separately, but rather reacts by a general rise of temperature in the entire region covered by electrode cup 7. Blood cicnla tion is therefore increased over a larger area, the reaction of the body being as if the energy supplied would be three times as much as that of the energy of the electrode of FIG. 4; of course, the penetration of the energy will be shallow. Such shallow penetration is sufficient for most therapeutic use. The electrode permits application of microwave energy at minimum power level. Both the electrodes of FIG. 4 and FIG. 6 may be covered by a plastic, or other suitable material 7 for ease of cleaning; in the alternative, paper or other disposable covers may be used. A conical handle, schematically illustrated in FIG. 4, may be arranged. A suitable impedance matching element 14, shown in FIG. 6, may be incorporated in such a handle.
means supplying microwave energy at a predetermined frequency to said cylindrical element and said wire, said gap forming radiating slot regions dimensioned and arranged with respect to the microwave energy supplied to be out of resonance therewith to provide a defined radiation pattern at a desired region of the body.
2. Device as claimed in claim; 1 wherein said wire, along its circumference, is formed with re-entrant bends to provide circumferential discontinuities, the total length of the wire at its circumferential direction being about twice the wave length at said predetermined frequency.
3.

BunkerMAESTRO to remove 'biggest pain point' of bunker operators
8 Sep 2019, by Informa Connect Insights
A digital solution developed by Singapore-based maritime solutions firm Claritecs is well on its way to remove the 'biggest pain point' of bunker tanker operators and more, says its Co-founder and Chief Product Officer.
Russell Gomes was presenting at the 9th Biennial Bunkering in Asia conference on Wednesday (4 September) when he shared how the tech company became convinced the solution for an "extremely disjointed" sector lies in digitisation of its scheduling sheet."Every bunker delivery involves many different stakeholders and parties. You've got the operators, suppliers, traders, terminals, creditors, ship agents and receiving vessels," he told delegates.
"Each job requires a lot of communication between all the different parties before and after each delivery, and information flow is slow.
"When we analysed the problem, we found that all the essential information that needs to be shared between the various parties can be contained within the schedule.
"Secondly, it just so happens that when we speak to bunker operators, their biggest pain point is their scheduling!"
An industry survey conducted by Claritecs found bunker tanker operators coping with deliveries by either reorganising their bunkering schedule every 2-3 hours to ensure optimisation of fleet, or by simply planning big buffers around each delivery to ensure of no clashes and replanning sequences.
"What if we could make the planning for bunkering easier for everybody, and create a platform that synchronises the entire bunker supply chain and ecosystem, that can take all our customers to instant digitisation and digital transformation?" Gomes asks.
"We're solving all these problems with our system BunkerMAESTRO, where to start-off, we're focusing on the schedule, and we've built an auto-scheduling system for bunker operators.
"This solves the operators' problem, and allows us to have a centralised system that has the schedules of the various barges, and all the associated information.
"That's what Claritecs is aiming to do. The end goal is ultimately to reduce work load and cut costs for operators, and increase the optimisation of the vessels, which means they can increase their turn rate per vessel, or use fewer vessels to handle the same number of jobs."
To date, Claritecs has inked MOUs with bunker operators Sinanju Tankers Holdings, Sentek Marine & Trading, Global Energy Trading, United Maritime and New Maritime representing 33% of the total Singapore bunker tanker fleet to testbed BunkerMAESTRO.
It has also entered into LOIs with shipping firms CMA CGM, PCL, PanUnited, and Glory Ship Management for the similar activity.
"Now as we get the bunker operators on board, we will invite their customers and partners who are the suppliers, traders, agents or ship owners onto the platform as well," he shares.
"The schedule contains all the operational information including pre-delivery and post-delivery information, and by having the schedule on one platform, all parties can monitor the status of the deliveries and view the information that is relevant to them.
"This information will be updated regularly by the operators and their crew, and will also contain third-party AIS information all in one place. And this will ultimately reduce the amount of inefficiencies described earlier."
Moving forward, Gomes reveals Claritecs to be in discussions on piloting a scheduling system for an unnamed oil terminal in Singapore to allow for reduced waiting time and increase transparency for loading operations with bunker tankers.
The company also intends to increase participation of its BunkerMAESTRO test bedding program from the current 33% to 50% of the Singapore bunker tanker fleet by end of the year.
"To wrap up, we have identified that the schedule is the heart of operations, and digitising the schedule and transforming the scheduling process has helped us to take a step towards digitising the entire bunkering process and operations," he concludes.

A woman pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a murder charge stemming from another woman's death in Pasadena three days before Christmas.
Carolina Hernandez, 40, is charged with the Dec. 22 killing of Corina Monroy.
The murder count includes an allegation that Hernandez "engaged in violent conduct … that indicates a serious danger to society," according to the criminal complaint.
Officers were sent to the 400 block of North Los Robles Avenue in connection with a report of a "fight" at about 4:40 p.m. Dec. 22, according to the Pasadena Police Department.
"Upon arrival, officers located an unresponsive female in the parking lot suffering from head trauma," police said in a statement. "Paramedics from the Pasadena Fire Department attempted lifesaving medical treatment."
Monroy, 60, of Pasadena, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
A determination on Monroy's cause of death was deferred pending additional investigation, according to records from the coroner's office.
Hernandez was arrested later that evening by Pasadena police and is being held on $2 million bail, jail records show.
She is due back in a Pasadena courtroom Feb. 1. A date is scheduled to be set then for a hearing to determine if there is sufficient evidence to allow the case against her to proceed to trial.

MARGIE SEAMAN
MARGIE SEAMAN is an eighty-five-year-old late-blooming
author of her debut novel
Someday Belongs to Us.
Listen to a interview with Jim Conlon, Paul Menzel, and Margie on the old dogs podcast
It's never too late to find love on the
high seas.
KATE CALDWELL did not expect to find romance at this point in her life. As a 72-year-old author of more than thirty successful romance novels, Kate had all but given up on finding her perfect love connection. To offset the loneliness of being alone, Kate focused on her writing and her granddaughter ELLIE who lived close to Kate's Texas Hill Country home and spent a lot of time with her grandmother. While the first two books of her newest Passion series had been best-sellers partly because of the help of her secret collaborator, Captain EDWARD PEREGRINE, Kate had experienced a creative shut-down of getting the third book even started. Her publisher was pressuring her to put more explicit love-making scenes in her novels which went against Kate's principles since she believed love was more than just sex. Then Edward apparently had walked out of her life. Frustrated by these events, Kate and Ellie embark on a two-week cruise to the Panama Canal that would hopefully allow Kate to get her creative juices flowing again and prove she could write a book without Edward's help - after all, he wasn't real. At the beginning of the passion series, Kate realized she had little knowledge of the life of a pirate and that she would need help getting the first book started. In desperation she implored the universe nightly to send her a pirate who could provide help and insight with the plot of the first book. One night during a particularly strong thunderstorm with intense lightning, Kate woke suddenly as a bolt of light and the simultaneous crash of thunder shook the bed. Adjusting to the dim light in the room, Kate could make out the figure of a very handsome but confused man, dressed in the garb of an 18th century pirate, standing near the window of her room. She asked how he got there but he said he only remembered being on his ship when a powerful bolt of lightning hit over him and the next thing he knew, he was in her bed chamber. Rationalizing that he was probably just a figment of her imagination, she began talking with the apparition and was happy to discover that his Scottish brogue was quite pleasant to hear. In time, the two became friends and he visited Kate often at night when they would bounce ideas off of each other until the first two books in the series had been successfully completed. The plot of the third book had produced an argument between them over the direction of the book and Edward stormed out of her life and had not returned. Edward finally returned to Kate the first night of the cruise. They made up for their argument and the two began collaborating on the third book – The Fiery Passion of a Thousand Burning Suns! After Edward's visit, Kate was able to finally make progress with her book and was well into the first draft after a few days. Kate's personal life was also making wonderful progress as their dinner group included two very attractive and available men, DAVID MITCHELL, a professor traveling partly on business and partly for pleasure, and MARCO ANTONINI, traveling with his sister. Both men offered Kate the love possibilities that she so desired and opened up feelings that she had long suppressed. Edward was pleased that Kate had found the possibility of love but his feelings for her were becoming more obvious during their nightly dream visits. Edward was tenderly demonstrative and his good-byes had progressed to caressing her cheek and gently kissing her on the forehead. Kate was confused by his actions especially due to the age difference but Edward assured her that in his existence, there was no age. The cruise sailed through some of the same ports that Edward had visited in her book which only increased Kate's feelings for Edward and for the life she had created for him. Little did Kate know that troubled waters lay ahead or that she was in for the adventure of her life as a merge of the time continuum brought forth conflicts and desires that upset the tranquility of her life but brought her closer to realizing her dream of true love.
"A fun and lively read about romance, and the real and imagined adventures of a woman writer cruising through her senior years. Margie Seaman proves age is no obstacle in this swashbuckling debut novel."

Speaking: Yes No
"Most of action in this book takes place on a cruise ship. Luckily, my sister-in-law and I had spent many years cruising from Hawaii and the Caribbean to Alaska and from the Virgin Islands to Canada. Those years brought experiences that I have used in the book. It also brought about encounters with fierce "pirates" aboard our cruise ships which may have influenced my adding a pirate to the story."
"Writing a book was something that I had wanted to do since I was fifteen years old and my high school English teacher told me I should become a writer. However, writing a book never made it to the top of my priority list during my teens and I always kept thinking I would do it "next year." I mean - I had unlimited next years in my lifetime, right? Between my twenties and forties, being a mother and having a career took up all of my free time and the book again was relegated to "next year." During the years, there were plots rumbling around in my head and some half-hearted attempts were made at starting a story but nothing ever went past the planning and first couple of pages stage.
October of 2016 brought an ominous reality to my consciousness. I turned eighty years old. Eighty!!! How did that happen? Where were my unlimited "next years?" Suddenly, the realization hit me that if I were ever going to do something about the book, it better be soon. The only issue was that after sixty-five years of being a practiced procrastinator, I still was dragging my feet. It took a final challenge to get me focused and ready to finally achieve my dream.
As a web designer, one of my clients, Loren Steffy, was a journalist and non-fiction writer who had just written his debut novel, The Big Empty. In a conversation we had, he mentioned that he hated something with "the passion of a thousand burning suns". I replied that his comment sounded like the title of a cheesy romance novel with handsome pirates and beautiful, lusty maidens. He told me to "write it." Something clicked in my head. The gauntlet had been thrown down. It was now or never and from that chance remark, Someday Belongs to Us was born. The timing was perfect even though I was eighty-two. I had spent the previous twenty years with my sister-in-law cruising every chance we had. I used the cruise ship as the background environment for the book, added a little space-time continuum mix-up, a gorgeous pirate, plus a cast of other wonderful characters that just popped into my head. Writing this story as a book within a book gave me the opportunity to develop the character of the eighteenth century pirate as he lived his life on the sea. The fun began when my main characters, Kate Caldwell and Captain Edward Peregrine mysteriously became enmeshed in a worm hole of time and their lives were joined.
Completing the book and realizing my dream at an advanced age only reinforces my belief that life is wonderful no matter what your age and that goals can always be achieved if you work hard enough for them. My optimism is shown by planning this book to be the first in a trilogy. Think I better start the next book, time is passing!"

Energy from evaporating water could rival wind and solar
日期:2019-03-08 05:07:08 作者:揭糨梳 阅读:
Xi Chen By Michael Le Page A vast source of renewable energy has been sitting under our noses. Evaporating water could supply enormous volumes of clean electricity, if we can only harness it. Evaporation is the process by which liquids turn into gases, generally when they are heated up. Every day, vast amounts of water evaporate from lakes and rivers, powered by heat energy from the sun. The scale of this energy is considerable. Water that evaporates from existing lakes and dams in the US – excluding the Great Lakes – could provide up to 2.85 billion megawatt hours of electricity per year, according to Ozgur Sahin of Columbia University and colleagues. That is the equivalent of two-thirds of US electricity generation in 2015. In 15 of the 47 US states studied, the potential power exceeds demand. Covering freshwater bodies with engines that harness evaporation would halve water lost in this way, the team says. In seven US states, this would save more water than the entire state consumes. But the calculations assume that all the water is covered – which we would not want to do. Evaporation engines could also be put in other areas, from irrigated fields and greenhouses to sheltered bays, says Sahin. But first an evaporation engine needs to be built. Sahin's team has created several miniature prototypes. The prototypes are all based on materials that shrink as they dry, such as tape coated with bacterial spores. The spores curl as they dry, shortening the tape. "They work like a muscle," says Sahin. "They can push and pull with a lot of force." To avoid being repeatedly soaked in water and becoming contaminated with dirt and chemicals, the prototypes exploit changes in humidity. In one version, the "muscle" sits just above the water. When shutters above it are closed, the humidity rises and the material expands. That opens the shutters, allowing the material to dry out and shrink, and so on. Such evaporation engines can run at night as well as day. Normally, there would be less evaporation at night, but blocking evaporation during the day stores energy in the form of warm water. "At night you take advantage of this power," says Sahin. "This is a great advantage." Others agree that the potential is huge. The issue is harnessing it. "The question is whether there is any practical way to capture that energy," says Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Stanford, California. He doubts it is possible to efficiently convert evaporation energy into electrical energy. What's more, developing evaporation engines to the point where they can be mass-produced is a huge task, and one that few groups are working on. The technology would also have to compete directly with solar panels, as it is increasingly common for floating solar farms to be placed on reservoirs. But evaporation engines could be made from cheap biological materials that are easier to dispose of than solar panels, says Sahin. If the technology does take off in a big way, it could affect local weather by reducing evaporation. But it will only make a difference if an area of 250,000 square kilometres is covered, the team calculates. At large scales, all forms of energy production, from wind to nuclear, can affect weather and climate. Besides, in a world of increasingly extreme rainfall, reducing evaporation could be desirable in some places.

School progress report made at board of education meeting
Judd Weil
Dodge City Daily Globe
The Dodge City USD 443 Board of Education met on Sept. 14 and received a progress report on operations and activity in the 2020-2021 academic year.
Two board members were absent from the Sept. 14 meeting.
Assistant superintendent of elementary education Tami Knedler informed the board that there are currently 103 kindergarten through fifth-grade students participating in Remote Live Learning.
Seven kindergarten students are participating in Remote Live Learning, dropping from around 20, and 27 fifth-grade students are participating.
There are 504 kindergarten students enrolled for the 2020-2021 school year, a decrease from last year's enrollment, said Knedler, but the numbers are looking up every day.
Knelder said schools are reporting that the normal flow of face-to-face learning in school is positive.
"Students are glad to be back in school," Knedler said.
Elementary students were said to understand that if they wear their masks, they can interact with their peers.
Knedler said the parents she visited with are happy with the option for Remote Live Learning should a situation arise for their child to need to use it.
She said students who may be quarantining are not falling behind, as they are participating in teachers' lessons via Google Classroom through Google Meet.
Executive director of information management Ray Wipf said that even though there may be problems with Remote Live Learning, most of those issues have been solved promptly over the phone.
"We have to be cautious because we actually had some quarantine kids come to our office, and I said, 'No, we can't have that because they're in quarantine,' " Wipf said. "It's a bit of an extreme, but most of the time we can deal with it."
Wipf said they have traded 254 of the RLL iPads for laptops, with 60 more to go before all needs are met.
About 118 wireless hotspots out of 200 ordered have been given out since the start of school, and Wipf said they learned very quickly they could only be distributed one per child meaning should school shut down again, USD 443 would have to distribute 2,100 hotspots, despite being contracted with United Wireless for 1,000.
Wipf told the board that one of their current problems is that while there are still working iPads compatible with the current operating system that can be used, outdated models are still mixed in with them.
The new laptops for the fourth- and fifth-grade classes should be able to be distributed and operational by Sept. 18.
Wipf said officials do not expect the larger shipment of laptops until mid-November.
Assistant superintendent of secondary education Matt Turner said RRL students at the secondary level roughly number at 230.
Turner said that instead of having to keep track of RLL students' progress via daily individual logs, now parents will just need to provide signatures with assurance that they will be working with their child during a set timeframe.
The board passed 5-0 a motion to approve additional funding for the continuation and expansion of the Culturally Responsive Instruction Contract, presented by deputy superintendent Scott Springston, as a way to evolve current teaching methods with incorporated techniques that will benefit all students from all backgrounds and schools in USD 443.
Robert Vinton, director of the ESL/migrant program, said the overall teaching dynamic is bridging what English Language Learner students already know culturally from their own background and what they are being taught in schools.
Socorro Herrera, a professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction for the College of Education at Kansas State University, is currently working on training staff from Beeson Elementary School, Dodge City Middle School and Comanche Middle School in these techniques.
Beeson Elementary fourth-grade teacher Crystal Strobel, who has been working with Herrera for two years, said she has multiple strategies that she implements daily to better maximize the potential of her English language learners.
In order to bring these techniques to all schools districtwide, additional training of personnel, already trained by Herrera, is necessary.
The funds will come through the Bilingual, Migrant, and Title III budgets, and costs are set to not exceed $80,000.
Public information officer Kerri Baker, informed board members how USD 443 is reaching out to the public with COVID-19 information from the district website.
"If you go to our website, on the menu tab, you will see COVID-19 correspondence and there we will keep a running total of COVID numbers by schools," said Baker.
The board was requested by district director of safety and security Shawn Lampe to approve a change on page 15 of the USD 443 Operations Plan from "Students and staff impacted move to Remote Live Learning (RLL) and Affected area is closed for deep cleaning" to "Students and staff will be moved from the classroom to a safe area until the classroom can be sanitized."
This came by recommendation of Angela Sowers with the Ford County Health Department and was passed 5-0.
This will make COVID-19 case response move more efficiently by ensuring that after sanitizing an adequate and available space for non-compromised students, they can stay in school, while compromised students are sent home and set up on RLL.
Currently there are 21 active COVID-19 cases, consisting of eight staff members and 13 students.
"Last week the Department of Health and Environment started releasing something called cluster summary, and I want to talk about it in a public meeting because it caused a lot of challenges for this district and across Kansas," said superintendent Fred Dierksen. "It caused challenges for Dodge City, it caused challenges for any entity and the list they are sharing is a list of all the cumulative cases going back to March."
Dierksen said that at the time that list came out, the district had identified 10 positive cases compared to a chart released from Topeka that showed 27 confirmed cases.
"And so, the first thing that happens is, it goes viral on something called Dodge City Chat and on that everybody started accusing the school district of hiding information," Dierksen said. "And so, immediately they believed, for the first time in a long time, they believed what they hear from Topeka, because the school district is wrong, and in reality, we're not wrong."
Dierksen said the school district did not know additional case numbers from Topeka were coming out. The message he wants to send is that USD 443 will be completely transparent with the public regarding COVID-19, adding that it is not something that they can hide.
"If we do have a problem, we'll get it out there," said Dierksen.
A joint letter from the Dodge City Area Chamber of Commerce by Dodge City Community College, National Beef, Cargill, Ford County Commission, Dodge City Commission and USD 443 is being sent to the office of Gov. Laura Kelly and KDHE.
This letter will ask the current case numbering process to be reconsidered and that the affected entities' frustrations also be considered.
Principal of Bright Beginnings Early Childhood Center Arthur Barker requested approval to hire two additional floating paraprofessionals to help students in both of their RLL classrooms as well as on-site classrooms, in favor of being unable to fill a RLL teaching position due to lack of applicant availability.
The board passed this 5-0.
The board approved 5-0 an addendum to the previously approved contracts between USD 443, Architecture Plus LLC and Building Solutions regarding the Memorial Stadium Improvement Project, that has been ongoing for almost a year.
The Guaranteed Maximum Price will be paid to Building Solutions in the amount of $2,356,383.46, and the professional design fees will be paid to Architecture Plus LLC in the amount of $141,383.01 from capital outlay funds.
An approval for the invoice for the Dodge City Education Center adult alternative high school program in the amount of $152,000 and that it be divided between eight installments of $19,000 each so that the program may continue, was passed 5-0.
Dodge City High School senior Christopher Montford and his family were recognized at the meeting for Montford being named a National Merit Scholarship Program semifinalist.
The board of education will meet again at noon Sept. 28.

This is a great, "easy" Alberta, Canada outfitter who offers both archery and rifle moose hunts.
If you prefer a hard-core, traditional moose hunt, this hunt is not for you. However, if you want a high odds, fairly easy, laid back hunt with a fun outfitter, we can't think of a better one.
Hunting takes place in flat farm fields surrounded by timber (Crown Land), so it is a fairly easy hunt. You will drive the farmland with your guide until you find a good bull, then use spot and stalk and/or call a rutting bull into range.
Good antler growth and body mass are common to the moose in this area is contributed to the abundance of agricultural crops. Geographically we are situated approx. 350 miles Northwest of Edmonton or 60 miles North of Grande Prairie. The government biologist implemented a residents draw for moose which has dramatically limited moose hunting in the area since 1999. Since then, the moose population has exploded resulting in some excellent trophy quality hunting with a bow or rifle.
Rifle: Late September through early October *they offer only ONE six-day Rifle hunt during the peak of the rut.
Stay in a modest ranch house. Hunters have their own bedrooms and all amenities including: laundry; Wi-Fi; satellite TV; and Internet. The living room has fireplace and TV to watch all the football games while enjoying a beverage from the bar.
These hunts fill fast and are often booked a few years in advance.

"I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over; on the edge you find things you can't see from the center." Kurt Vonnegut.
Jarche thinks development of organisations requires a partnership between managers on the inside, workers at the edges, and consultants beyond the edge. Amongst those "workers at the edge", I'm interested in those who have taken themselves to the edge of authority. They no longer believe that hierachy is the only or best form for organising action, and question these presumptions when they appear in organisational behaviour. Nor are they just building networks as a self-protective reaction to hierachy, but looking for the ways networks and hierachies can work together.

13 March 2019 / The Bakehouse Theatre
Trigger Warning: strong references to sexual assault, rape and domestic violence
I'd never have guessed it would take a cockroach lecturing on feminist perspectives of Ovid's Metamorphoses to somehow make me laugh in a conversation about rape. Big disclaimer here. I do not in any way think rape is funny. But boy is it just hilarious that men have assumed they're entitled to dominate and exploit women since 8 CE. Well, not any more, bucko!
It's time for sweet, sweet revenge.
Cockroach unleashes the inner vermin that's been festering in our filthy repressed recesses for centuries. The creature, C, lunges into those fearful back alleys, parks and hotel rooms, and finally, mercilessly, joyfully, takes on our attackers. The nightclub owner's son. The champion swimmer. The actor. The movie producer. The doctor, the footballer, the CEO, the priest, the politician. None are safe. They are locked in a tower to weave tapestries, transformed into a tree, spun into a spider. Like a true superhero, C disarms the baddies, reclaims our spaces, and makes it safe for all women at last!
Now, every superhero has their own tragic origin story, and C is no different. It's "the bastard" that made her this way. Hissing and spitting with rage, she'd almost forgotten her human shape. But he can't take her essence away from her. Crawling back towards the light, she knows she can restore herself and shine brighter than ever.
Cockroach is hands-down the best show I've seen this Fringe, and a must see in the MeToo era. It's hilarious. It's whip smart. It's bloody important. We need more feminist stories approaching the painful theme of female exploitation in an empowering (and funny) way.
Melita Rowston's pitch perfect script is precisely what we need right now. She couldn't be more on point. On-stage live music from Benito Di Fonzo heightens the buzz, and Leah Donovan's performance as C is beyond outstanding. Donovan is impressive in her physicality, her humour and her ability to pierce you straight through the heart. Her cockroach hiss is as unforgettable as the revenge she metes out.
Expect to leave this show transformed.

Big K.R.I.T. Addresses Police Brutality With A Mesmerizing Spoken Word Performance
by: Marcus Benjamin October 4, 2016
Leave it to Big K.R.I.T. to step into a building filled with hip-hop's elite and steal the show without rapping a single verse. Dressed in all blue like a police officer, KRIT commanded the utmost respect in a spoken word performance that wowed the crowd into a hush.
In front of a blue background with red and blue lights flashing in front of him, the former Def Jam artist became the mouthpiece for many around the country on a stage the rest of the world would be focused on.
"Police been firing and they gon' keep firing
The government been lying and they gon' keep lying
Propaganda news channels, that sh*t is all for show
Cameraphone videos is like all we know
Diluting what the eyewitness might really say
Because the whole world saw a murder yesterday."
There's something stark about stripping beats away from words and taking rap back to its purest form: poetry. Poetry pops, pummels, and punctuates. There's no worry of being distracted by the drum and listeners can only focus on the words. Krit's words need to be heard and paid attention to like a Sunday Mass. It's the best kind of food for thought that immediately satisfies without an ounce of empty calories. Performing it dressed in a police uniform stiffens his argument and is enough of a statement in itself.

As his voice raised, the mood in the crowd changed and when he hit the crescendo, the crowd erupted in applause with only one statement: Fists in the air.

How Will You Spend Rs 25 Trillion on Agriculture, Double Farm Incomes by 2022, India Asked at WTO
The United States and Australia also wanted details of India's new "transport and marketing assistance" for agriculture, which Australia said was an export subsidy that should be phased out.
Geneva: Massive farm-support plans in the United States and India are being scrutinised by other World Trade Organization members, questions submitted to the WTO's quarterly agriculture committee meeting showed on Monday.
The WTO has strict rules about the size and nature of payments, and member governments keep a close watch for any competitors who might be cheating. Their questions — 62 pages for the June 25-26 meeting — can range from requests for clarification to outright allegations of illegal handouts.
US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have both made boosting farm incomes a priority. Trump is trying to offset domestic damage from a tariff war with China; Modi faces a slowdown in India's agriculture-dominated economy.
The European Union asked India to explain how Modi proposed to spend Rs 25 trillion ($357.5 billion) on agriculture and rural development, doubling farmers' incomes by 2022 as part of a Rs 100 trillion, five-year infrastructure splurge.
"How will this be done, taking into account global market prices of produce and measures put in place to prevent excess production?" the EU asked.
The United States queried India's 5% export subsidy for non-Basmati rice and its growing state buying of wheat at rising prices, despite back-to-back record harvests, noting that it was on track for a record wheat stockpile.
The United States faced questions from Australia, Canada, China, the EU, India, New Zealand and Ukraine about Trump's $16 billion "market facilitation package", the second payout under a programme that had been described as a one-off.
China said the package appeared likely to breach the allowed "product specific" ceiling of 5% of the value of production.
The EU also queried a $19 billion disaster bill approved by Congress this month, saying it would let the U.S. Department of Agriculture boost "the prevented planting payment factor on crop insurance to 90% instead of 55% for corn and 60% for soybeans".
India criticised the US 2018 Farm Bill, saying it benefited not only farmers, but also their first cousins, nieces and nephews, with children and spouses qualifying for $125,000 of payments.
Among other questions, Canada and Australia asked about the impact of Brexit, and the United States was concerned Pakistan's wheat subsidies were creating "huge surpluses" and said China appeared to be exporting state-owned rice below cost.

Man on flight 'randomly touched the faces' of passengers, sprayed unknown substance, then jumped once plane landed
A 25-year-old man allegedly touched the faces of other passengers and sprayed them with an unknown substance on American Airlines flight 1346 before jumping off the grounded plane in Phoenix, Arizona, police said in a press release.

It was a strange episode on American Airlines flight 1346 Friday as a 25-year-old man touched the faces of other passengers and sprayed them with an unknown substance before jumping off the grounded plane, Phoenix, Arizona, police said in a press release.
The incident began Friday morning as a plane from Minneapolis was landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Police said the man "had been acting strange on the flight."
The man then "randomly touched the faces of other passengers" and sprayed an unknown substance from a spray bottle on them.
The man was brought to the front of the plane to get off before the other passengers. While waiting for the main door of the plane to open, the man opened a service door on the other side of the plane and jumped out. The fall was about 10 feet, police said, and the man sustained minor injuries.
Both law enforcement and paramedics responded, American Airlines said in a statement to CNN.
The man was taken into custody without incident, police said, and was taken to a local hospital to treat his injuries.
Neither police nor American Airlines indicated whether it had been determined what was sprayed by the man but there were no reports of injuries to passengers.
Police said none of the other passengers wanted to press charges. Trespassing charges are pending against the man from the prosecutor's office, police said.
The incident also did not disrupt airport operations, police said.

Welcome to DeLuca's - Boston's oldest grocery store!
DeLuca's has been at the same location for over 100 years. Born in Italy, Uncle Joe DeLuca (1900-1997)started working in the store which would later bear his name, in 1919.The store soon became known as "the place" in Boston for the finest in fresh fruit and produce. During prohibition and during the war it provided the essential needs of Beacon Hill residents as it still does to this day serving the everyday customer to historic notables such as North Pole Explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd, President John F. Kennedy, and historian Samuel Elliot Morison all of whom lived near DeLuca's. In 1952, Joe's brother-in-law, Virgilio Aiello, who had a butcher shop in the 1930's purchased the store and added a full line of fresh meat. His son Virgil Aiello added gourmet bread, cheeses, and a complete beer, wine and liquor cellar. Virgil with his able staff still operates the store today, offering the same dedicated personal service and highest quality food products ranging from Corn Flakes to Caviar.
