The virtual journals of the joint institute for nuclear astrophysics

The research area of nuclear astrophysics is characterized by a need for information published in tens of journals in several fields and an extremely dilute distribution of researchers. For these reasons it is difficultfor researchers, especially students, to be adequately informed of the relevant published research. In an attempt to address this problem, we have developed a virtual journal (VJ), a process for collecting and distributing a weekly compendium of articles of interest to researchers in nuclear astrophysics. Subscribers are notified of each VJ issue using an email-list server or an RSS feed. The VJ data base is searchable by topics assigned by the editors, or by keywords. There are two related VJs: the Virtual Journal of Nuclear Astrophysics (JINA VJ), and the SEGUE Virtual Journal (SEGUE VJ). The VJs and support information are available here.

Subsea Expo 2014: Organisers look to add polish for future after record turnout
by Iain Hepburn
07/02/2014, 2:08 pm Updated: 07/02/2014, 4:17 pm
Neil Gordon at the Subsea Expo
The head of Subsea UK has warned against making the organisation's annual expo too big – despite the 2014 show closing with a record attendance.
The event, marking the 10th anniversary of the industry body, wrapped up a three-day run with more than 5000 visitors attending the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre.
"Everyone keeps saying congratulations, you keep raising the bar," Subsea UK chief executive Neil Gordon told Energy Voice.
"We've hit the 5000 visitors mark which is great. 4000 last year, 5000 this year, plus the place has been buzzing today.
"The thing is, you don't try and pus the bar so you can't get over it. It's about continuous improvement. Everyone says the mix is right. If you make it too big you lose the human element.
"I think you can always polish a bit more, but we'e got to be careful we don't push the bar too high. Let's not try to fix something that's working very well."
The positive mood at the show was reflected in talk of a subsea 'bubble', as the sector's value reached almost £9billion last year.
The growth of the event was an indicator of the current strength of the subsea industry, Mr Gordon said, with the North Sea leading the way globally.
"We are going through a very strong growth period, the service companies are in the driving seat and it's a very good time – long may it last," he said.
"But you're always going to look at what could be round the corner. We've always got to look at how we continue to be a global centre of excellence here and make it the best place to do business from.
"There are other parts of the world that want our knowledge and skills, and we've got to think how we do that."
The final day of the expo focused on the next generation of oil and gas workers, with more than 400 children and students from across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire attending to learn about routes into the subsea industry.
The move follows a similar approach at Offshore Europe last year, and comes as the oil and gas industry looks to address an increasing skills gap that saw industry leaders call for an end to a staff-poaching culture that has driven up salaries.
Mr Gordon admits the student-focused day was the first step in trying to address that gap, but warns more needs to be done to interest future energy industry workers.
"If you look at oil and gas in total over the years we've been a very reactive industry and there's a lot of proaction going on now to try and improve that perception," he said.
"We've got to tell the world what's going on and put out some resource in dealing with the schools and engaging with them. It's happening, but we've a long way to go."

Dear Members, Supporters and Friends,
On behalf of everyone at our Club, I want to thank all of you for the incredible support you have provided the Club in this unprecedented year. The commitment and flexibility our Members and Corporate Partners have provided has enabled this Season to proceed and ensure the Club emerges from 2020 in a good position.
Importantly for us as a community there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel and, hopefully, in Season 2021 we can have everyone back together at Bankwest Stadium without some of the necessary restrictions of this year. I know we all miss seeing our team, being with our friends and enjoying those great moments we can share together.
I want to provide a brief update on some of the key areas of the Club as we conclude the Home and Away Season.
First, I would like to congratulate the NRL as well as all Clubs and players, for working so well together to enable this season to proceed. We have had many obstacles to face throughout the year, but the determination to deliver Season 2020 should make the entire game proud of its achievement.
Our team has done a tremendous job of building on our success of last year and placing us in a good position to go deep into the Finals. The biosecurity measures have placed major restrictions on our Football Department, and they have had to endure some significant personal challenges throughout the season. I am grateful for the positive way in which they have handled these challenges and I want to thank our players and staff and their families for the sacrifices they have made and for their contribution to this season.
At the time of writing this, we are in the top four. We wish our players, and the coaching staff, the best of luck for the upcoming NRL Finals Series. I'm sure everyone at our Club including our Members and fans will be right behind our team during October.
With the increased capacity for Finals games we want to ensure the Blue and Gold Army has as many Members at these games as possible. Every one of our Finals Series matches will be dedicated to our Members, fans, followers and friends who have been with us through thick and thin. Thank you for your support, I am sure your voices will be the loudest throughout October.
The Board and Management are currently finalising our budget for next financial year. We are in a sound financial position thanks, in large part, to the unwavering support of our Members and Corporate Partners.
I do also want to acknowledge the great response from the Board and Management of the Parramatta Leagues Club (PLC) during the COVID period. The impact on their business while their venues were closed was significant, however the good financial position of the PLC enabled them to navigate this period prudently.
Like most organisations we will face some uncertainty as we move into next year, but we have managed the situation well so far. Importantly, we believe the long-term outlook for our Club and our parent, Parramatta Leagues Club, remains positive.
Our Club also has a number of exciting Sponsorship announcements coming up in the next few weeks that will demonstrate our increasing strength on the Commercial side of the business. This will be important in growing our Club over the next 12-18 months and contributing to our financial stability.
Our official Membership tally for Season 2020 of 29,011 was a record-breaking result in an extraordinary year. This result was not only the highest Member increase of any Club in the NRL in 2020, but also the eighth year in a row we have broken our Membership record.
The loyalty and support our Members have shown this year has had a major impact on the positivity around our Club and we are focused on repaying your faith as we move forward. The next few weeks will be exciting as we enter the Finals for the third time in four years.
Our Club considers Membership to be a key area of growth, with our goal of reaching 40,000 Members continuing to be front of mind. We will be launching the 2021 Membership Program very shortly, where you will see a strong emphasis on growing not only the benefits our current Members receive, but also new ways in which supporters can join the Club for the first time and be part of our wider community.
The Club is continuing its work on its Centre of Excellence at Kellyville Park. We successfully moved into the new facility in December, where the multiple fields and our new buildings have played a big part in managing through the COVID disruptions.
We are continuing to work with the government on the future development of the site including the new community matchday venue and our NRL/NRLW High Performance Centre. The design and planning phase of the facility will be accelerated over the coming months with the Club hoping to start construction sometime next year.
Stability is the key
I wanted to conclude my update by briefly addressing the importance of Club stability during this crisis period. During a recent Member survey, over 90% of Members nominated integrity and professionalism as key drivers of their positive response towards our Club.
This was an incredibly pleasing result, which highlights the importance of the Governance changes the Club has undertaken over the past three years and most recently at the PLC.
The stability at Board and Management level creates an environment that not only positions us to be successful, but also better enables us to navigate the challenges we may confront.
It doesn't mean we will get everything right all the time, but we are committed to preserving that stability on deliver a Club our Members and fans can continue to be proud of, as well as being proud to be a part of.
I look forward to joining our Members and fans in supporting our team during the 2020 Finals Series.
Go the Eels,
Jim Sarantinos

There are considerable long term benefits when buying property in a self managed super fund, (check with an Advisor on your particular circumstances) and these will have a significant effect on your lifestyle in retirement.
Not only are there tax deductions along the way but huge tax breaks available when the Super Fund is converted into a Pension Fund. Consider no Capital Gains Tax and no Income Tax!! The main reason to buy property is for the CAPITAL GAIN. Imagine if you did not have to pay tax on it.
If you are considering buying property for occupation or investment and not using a super fund it is advisable to get the right buying structure in place.
So having sorted the best way to buy, the next step is WHAT AND WHERE TO BUY. Our recommendation, after determining a budget, (Tim Hunt of Boss Mortgages will advise on the latest deals available from lenders) research the market as to where good capital gain has been achieved over a number of years and then select a property in that area which is close to transport and amenities. This generally means inner suburbs. We warn against buying "off the plan" in most cases.
Again we suggest a look at the return on equity. Good outcomes are almost guaranteed.

Grant Kirkpatrick, who's an architect, designed a low-slung, 1,000-square-foot prefab dwelling inspired by Cliff May's iconic ranch houses. The imminent plan is for Split Rock to surpass its humble beginnings with a full array of solar panels, taking the homestead—which already has its own groundwater supply and septic system—completely off the grid. "We feel a real sense of accomplishment here," says Grant. "But we realize that much of that came from the ability to appreciate the serenity."

While visiting New Zealand with their three kids, Grant and Shaya Kirkpatrick fell in love with what the locals call the bach lifestyle. "We'd see Kiwis pack up their car, throw a kayak on the roof, and head out to a rural cottage to spend the weekend," says Grant. "It was a big inspiration."

How does an ex-football player, son of a proud, tradition bound Greek restaurant owner discover that he has not a good, but a great voice? And what is the life style and process of training that voice until one day you are there on the operatic stage, singing with Beverly Sills?
In a highly moving and personal account of his singing career and family background, handsome, rugged, exuberant, internationally known young basso, spiro Malas, gives more of himself and his song in one half hour than most performers do in two seasons of a weekly series!
Mr. Malas so enjoys singing all kinds of music that he brings an accompanist (lute and banjo) to his interview with Mr. Norton and sings a Greek folk song, and two American ones. It is a rare treat.

Steel Strip World: Are steel prices heading for meltdown?
Are steel prices heading for meltdown?
Steel prices having been rising (and continue to rise) at record rates this year. A few in the industry are speculating about a possible fall in the fourth quarter. We spotted this item over at Purchasing.com.
Sheet steel prices have crashed the $1,000 barrier for the first time ever this month (hot-rolled sheet in coil at an average $1,020/ton) and the mills are looking to break the $1,100 plateau this summer. However, at least one analyst sees the possibility of a major reversal back toward $850 in the hot-weather months.
I know a few stockholders who are trying to go on with the minimum inventory possible, in fear of a price collapse that could prove incredibly expensive. Ironically in many cases they are struggling to source the steel they need now. It's a time for the gambler's amongst us and the stakes are high.


Stop the search for a four leaf clover because a recent study has revealed we make our own luck.
Everyone always has a 'lucky' friend, who seems to consistently be on the receiving end of good things coming their way whether it be winning a school fete raffle with their one ticket against your ten books, right through to landing a top job with zero qualifications when they were up against ten others who were highly qualified.
We have always believed that some people are simply born 'lucky', but a recent study has set out to prove that we can create our own luck.
Many psychologists and experts in the field are now finding that it is how we deal our cards which makes the difference and not necessarily the cards we are dealt which matter.
Richard Wiseman, Ph D., a psychologist from the University of Hertfordshire and author of The Luck Factor has spent the past decade researching the topic only to conclude that "What we think of as chance and luck are not at all the same thing,". From his many years of researching, Wiseman has found that as little as ten per cent of life is actually completely random or pure chance and the rest is determined by the attitude you have towards life.
Wiseman's study involved placing some money on a pavement in the paths of various different people – some who claimed to be lucky, and other who considered themselves to be unlucky.
Interestingly it was the 'lucky' people who noticed the money and picked it up, and the 'unlucky' group who walked straight past it without noticing.
Many other studies looking into the matter have also found that it is people who consider themselves as lucky who actually tend to be.
It is the positive thinkers in life who tend to keep their eyes wide open for unplanned situations which could end in their favour and thus they are more likely to pounce on them when they arise.

Samuel Gilbert Bratton (August 19, 1888 – September 22, 1963) was a United States senator from New Mexico and a United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

Education and career

Born in Kosse, Texas on August 19, 1888, Bratton attended the public schools. A graduate of the state Normal School, he taught school for some years in Claude, Texas and Hereford, Texas. He read law and was admitted to the bar in 1909, whereupon he began practice in Farwell, Texas. He continued his practice upon moving to Clovis, New Mexico in 1915. From 1919 to 1921 he served as the district court judge for the fifth judicial district of that state. Upon division of the district, he continued in the same capacity for the ninth judicial district until 1923, when he succeeded Herbert F. Raynolds to become an associate justice of the New Mexico Supreme Court. He remained in this position until 1924, when he resigned to accept the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate.

Congressional service

Bratton was elected as a Democrat to the United States Senate in 1924 and was reelected in 1930 and served from March 4, 1925, until his resignation, effective June 24, 1933. He served as Chairman of the Committee on Irrigation and Reclamation in the 73rd United States Congress.

Federal judicial service

Bratton was nominated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on June 1, 1933, to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacated by Judge John Hazelton Cotteral. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on June 1, 1933, and received his commission the same day. He was among the candidates for the United States Supreme Court vacancy created by the retirement of Willis Van Devanter in 1937, but was passed over by Roosevelt in favor of Hugo Black. Bratton served as Chief Judge and as a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States from 1956 to 1959. He assumed senior status on March 1, 1961. His service terminated on September 22, 1963, due to his death in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is interred in Fairview Park Cemetery in Albuquerque.

Cleveland saw a decrease in unsheltered homelessness in 2020: Can that continue?
There was one bright spot in the darkness of the coronavirus pandemic in Cleveland last year: Fewer people were homeless and living on the streets. Chris Knestrick, director of the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless (NEOCH), estimates there was a roughly 30% decrease in the number of "unsheltered" people experiencing homelessness in Cleveland.
By Conor Morris ● Social Equity ● February 9, 2021 May 27, 2022
There was one bright spot in the darkness of the coronavirus pandemic in Cleveland last year: Fewer people were homeless and living on the streets.
Chris Knestrick, executive director of the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless (NEOCH), said his group estimates that there was a roughly 30% decrease in the number of "unsheltered" people experiencing homelessness in Cleveland in the second half of 2020, a drop from an average of 124 people to 85. "Unsheltered" means people living outside, in tents or on the street, and not in homeless shelters.
While there were still hundreds of people in Cleveland's homeless shelters, that's still a positive statistic, Knestrick said.
To achieve the reduction, a lot of relatively unprecedented things had to happen in Cleveland, Knestrick said: A large amount of rental assistance to prevent people from becoming homeless; a moratorium on evictions locally and later federally; and money to support putting homeless and unsheltered people into five hotels.
Before most of these measures were in place, in the first half of 2020, Cleveland saw a slight increase in the average number of people experiencing homelessness living outside the shelter system, 17 percent higher compared to the first half of 2019. That number dropped in the second half of 2020, after the pandemic-related rental assistance began and more hotels were brought online, Knestrick said. Check out a chart from NEOCH below.
This decrease happened despite expectations that the number of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness would increase due to the pandemic, Knestrick said. While none of the efforts mentioned were perfect solutions to homelessness, they did help, he said.
This feat begs the question: Can Cleveland government, nonprofits and volunteers keep up this support into 2021 and beyond? Elsewhere, some cities, like Austin, Texas, have permanently purchased hotels to continue these kinds of initiatives.
The Northeast Ohio Solutions Journalism Collaborative asked Knestrick about the work done in 2020 to keep people experiencing homelessness off the streets in Cleveland, and the potential longevity of these measures.
Note: Knestrick's responses have been edited for clarity and length. For his full responses, check out the video of our interview above. Morris' questions are in bold. (Cleveland Street Chronicle, which is supported by NEOCH, is a member of NEOSOJO.
Some people might not know what the homeless situation looks like in Cleveland generally speaking, so, where are people living, and has this changed much during the pandemic?
More and more people were having a housing crisis in our community and seeking emergency shelter. Before the pandemic, our community had a strong response to homelessness. But it was mostly designated toward large shelters in our community.
When the pandemic hit in March, we quickly realized that congregate living situations like large shelters are a huge risk for our people, who oftentimes already have preexisting conditions and suffer from many of the things that make COVID-19 a deadly virus for people.
Through leadership, through the continuum of care (body of agencies responding to homelessness) … and also with great leadership from the City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County, we quickly began to place people into hotels to de-congregate the shelters (so that they) could practice safe distancing in some way.
One of the statistics I had seen previously was there was a 30% decrease in unsheltered homelessness in Cleveland during 2020. Can you just walk me through how that happened?
The 30 percent is an estimate, it's hard to have exact data on real human beings in our community. People come and go out of homelessness at any given time.
That's something we're always checking because we need to make sure we know where people are to provide (them) with supplies to survive the winter and to really encourage them to go into shelter and to move towards permanent housing.
I think one of the lucky things that we saw, as CARES (Act) money came in and we were able to afford non-congregate living settings and took advantage of that, we saw people much more apt to engage in our services.
As people are working just to survive outside, they're out there hustling and doing their thing and it's a lot harder to engage and contact people. I think hotels offered us an opportunity to build really deep relationships with people and to accompany them into a housing process in a way that was new to us.
We've also (permanently) housed, since March, over 70 people in our community (who were unsheltered). We were able to accompany them as they worked to figure out how to end their housing crisis or homelessness (and get into stable housing, like rentals).
Were there any other lessons that we learned from Cleveland's response to homelessness from 2020? Can any of this be replicated into the future?
I think if we look at the eviction moratorium that was issued by our local government, evictions were down and I think they continued to be down after a federal moratorium on eviction happened. In our minds, what we learned is, how do we give tenants more rights and opportunities to prevent eviction? (We had) a robust housing assistance program that was put in place to really prevent homelessness this year. I think it begs the question, can we really see that robust housing assistance, coupled with policies that protect tenants (continued)?
One of those things that we (saw this year) is a really deep conversation around homeless prevention, and that's a new thing in our community. Before COVID-19 and the pandemic, homeless prevention was not possible because there was no funding for it. I think it's really about how we are going to move forward and build policies and gain resources to help prevent people from entering into homelessness?
Previously, with unemployment we did expect a large boom in the homeless population and that has not happened. We're far from done with the pandemic. But I think we've realized that robust homeless prevention in our community is really needed and a really important resource that we haven't had in the past.
Why hasn't that kind of funding available for homeless prevention in the past? Is it a federal problem, a local problem, a state problem?
It's all three. We have talked a lot with our local officials over time about the need for, for example, a flexible, shallow (small) housing subsidy in our community for folks who are housing insecure (which has not happened yet).
I think it comes down to having a living wage. A mother of two making minimum wage in our community would have to work 75 hours a week to afford a two-bedroom in our community (according to RentCafe.com, average rent is $1,134 per month in Cleveland), which is an impossible feat. So we know that housing assistance and homeless prevention is needed but we've never seemed to quite prioritize it like we have during the pandemic.
I really think it's a question of political will.
Is there enough funding to continue running the five hotels for the homeless for the rest of 2021?
I don't think the funding has been appropriated for all of the year. We definitely know that we can get through all of the winter season using hotels. We're looking at what's happening in Washington during this time.
I think we're super excited that (U.S. Rep.) Marsha Fudge has been selected to be the HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) secretary. I think it really depends on if a CARES Act (stimulus) is going to be continued to be moved and allocated throughout the year for us to continue to do it. Will our local government continue to prioritize it? I think they will, they have. But I think the question we really need to think about is, we don't want to go back to normal.
We want to come back to a place that's better than where we left it. Because where we left it was shelters were full to capacity everywhere and more and more people were experiencing homelessness. Trying to get to a place where we come out of the pandemic better and more equipped to get more people into housing is the way to go.
If anyone wants to help out people who are homeless in our community, what should they do?
First and foremost, treat people with dignity all the time. Whether they're homeless or whether they're your neighbors or the people you live with.
The person that's downtown in Public Square is a member of our community as much as a person who lives in one of the condos or big buildings down there. Continuing to engage and get to know them and learn their stories is really what I encourage everyone to do.

THQ's CFO Resigns, Reaches Forbearance Agreement With Wells Fargo
Despite struggling to make ends meet, THQ is still powering forward, trying their best to overcome their financial hurdle. With low shares, at about $1.20, and exploration of all sorts of financial strategies, the company is really trying, but the truth is, it's looking grim.
To add extra pressure to the mix, THQ's Chief Financial Officer, Paul Pucino, has resigned. He has not named a successor. The company is currently finding their feet financially where they no longer have a CFO.

"We would like to thank Paul for his significant contributions over the past four years and wish him well in his future endeavors," said THQ CEO, Brian Farrell.
Moving forward is going to be tough, but with all the consulting that THQ is undergoing, it should be fine.
Then, following that, THQ has noted that they have successfully negotiated a forbearance agreement with Wells Fargo. The forbearance agreement means that the Wells Fargo won't exercise their rights for a certain period. This is important to THQ's progress, as the company recently defaulted on a payment to Wells Fargo. The agreement between the companies will run until 15 January, where Wells Fargo will continue to pay money to THQ.
"We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Wells Fargo. This agreement enables us to continue focusing on bringing our games in development to market," said Brian Farrell, THQ's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Meanwhile, we are evaluating financial alternatives that will transition the company into its next phase."
Continued funding to THQ is important, as they have three games which need completion: Metro: Last Light, South Park: The Stick of Truth and Company of Heroes 2. The release of these games could help THQ quite a bit, financially.

Climate change and hunting have driven whooping crane populations to near extinction. Work alongside researchers in collecting data, environmental samples and more to determine how the different environmental drivers work to make a difference to the coastal habitats and the availability of a whooping crane's main food source.
Daily activity includes: Whooping Crane observations: Record observations of Whooping Crane foraging, behavior, territory defense, and movements between territories. Habitat quality assessment: Collect environmental data such as surface water quality and water salinity levels. Vegetation and blue crab surveys: Survey Whooping Crane food resources, including vegetation surveys to assess wolfberry fruit, and blue crab surveys in saltmarsh ponds. In the evenings, you'll head back to the accommodation for dinner, an informal talk by the researchers, a chance to review Whooping Crane video footage from the day, and of course time to relax.

Judicial killing . . . and platitudes
by Andrew Brown
THERE is a kind of perfection to which all press releases aspire but few attain. A true master will avoid any trace of novelty or substance, since either will clog the airy splendour of self-affirmation, just as egg yolk clogs attempts to whip up whites into apparent substance. Complete vacuity combined with self-promotion really isn't easy.
So, the headline on the latest press release from the Archbishops' Council is a triumph that should be taught in schools of journalism. "News from the Church of England", it starts, and then "Church of England commends the moral teaching of Church Schools."
Just stop and savour for a moment.
There are poems from which no word could be removed or added without diminishing them. This is a headline to which you could not add one syllable without making it more unexpected or informative.
"Church of England commends the moral teaching of Church Schools." What else could it possibly say?
The strictest judges would point out that it's not completely and utterly uninteresting. It does raise the question what kind of newspaper, or even local radio, would publish this. On what planet, exactly, does it constitute news that the Church of England commends the moral teaching of church schools? One imagines some place where the sun shines greenish through a methane sky, and vast chitinous swamp creatures trumpet to each other as the signal is decoded: "Church of England commends the moral teaching of church schools," and then debate in earnest booms and squawks what this might tell them about intelligent life in the universe.
COMPARE and contrast a video interview put together by the Episcopal News Service, in which the Archbishop of Canterbury talks about the civil war in South Sudan over a montage of clips, including many corpses. It's a bit of a stretch to put that in a press column, though I did write about it on The Guardian's site. It was extremely effective partly because it wasn't self-promotion. It did praise the efforts of the Sudanese Church at mediation, but it was mostly an attempt to draw attention - and prayer - to something horrible and widely overlooked.
Just how widely overlooked was made clearer by the weekend's next Sudanese horror story: Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, a pregnant Christian woman sentenced to death and a hundred lashes for her faith by a court in the North. This is indeed a truly horrible story. It has made headlines all around the world. But I wonder if it is more of an atrocity than the rape and murder of the church workers at the cathedral in Bor, in the South, which Archbishop Welby has so often talked about. Had that atrocity been committed by a Muslim militia rather than one headed by a Presbyterian it would have had far greater resonance.
In this instance, the horror of the sentence is greater because it purports to be part of a civilised system. The Bor massacre was a war crime committed in hot blood; the judicial murder and flogging of Meriam Yehya Ibrahim has been arranged long in advance, and after a solemn deliberative process in a court. This also gives the outrage some point. There is a chance to save her, while we can do nothing for those who have already died.
It also provided the opportunity for some vacuous grandstanding. The Sunday Times made Lord Carey, a former Archbishop, look idiotic, perhaps unfairly, by quoting him: "Isn't there something fundamentally wrong with Islam at its core that it cannot allow people to change their religion? Moderate Muslims . . . have to say enough is enough.
"It is accepted doctrine in Islam [that] you don't convert, and if you do the penalty may be death. When Muslims do convert they almost go underground, and there are examples of this in Britain."
The story here - if it is true - is that Muslims have to "almost go underground" if they convert in Britain. This is rather different from being executed, or even murdered unofficially. And the only "Muslim leader" that The Sunday Times could find with an opinion on the subject was Inayat Bunglawala. He called it "tragic that in the modern world someone can be executed for wanting to change their religion", and described the Sudanese story as "part of a far wider question that much of the Muslim world is still struggling with - how to reconcile traditional Islamic doctrine with modern notions of human rights".
Again, if there is any news value to this, it lies in the fact that Bunglawala, who used to be a rather silly and nasty radical, now sounds alarmingly like Lord Carey. The world is uniting around a new set of platitudes. And the Church of England commends the moral teaching of church schools.

On the former estate of a Benedictine abbey, near Leuven in Brabant, Belgium, sits a modernist villa built by Jacques Dupuis and Albert Bontridder in 1965.
Kanaal takes over the red brick warehouses and grain-storage silos of a former malting distillery, built in 1857. Vervoordt enlisted Belgian architecture practices Bogdan & Van Broeck, Coussée & Goris and Stéphane Beel to mastermind their adaptive reuse.
A new recording studio and hotel hybrid has opened in the Belgian Ardennes, offering musicians a creative refuge away from the hustle of urban life.
The building's shiny black façade echoes the veneer of a jewellery case, while black marble floors and carpet in amethyst hues lead customers through a series of rooms named after the main interior spaces of grand Italian residences: Corte, Grande Sala and Stanza del Tempo.
B-ILD architects have inserted a steel box into the historic fabric of a 19th-century house in Brussels. Raised on a platform, this contemporary counterpoint is a response to an irksome subsidence issue causing a disconnect between the building and the garden.


then select the "App for SharePoint" template. Give the name as "MSPProviderHostedDemo".
Give the url of your sharepoint site. (Here I am giving my sharepoint online site url).
And select the option Provider Hosted as we are dealing with provider hosted in this demo.
Say Next. In next screen elect Aspnet/mvc. Here iam going with asp.net web forms appn for this demo.
In Next screen, this is something important to know. See the below screen.
Here we have two options to authenticate our app with the site.
Windows Azure Access Control Service – This is also called as ACS or low trust hosting type. Basically this will be used when the appwebsite is hosted in azure. In our case we will be using this.
Use a Certificate – This is also called as High Trust/ Server to server authentication model. Here the appwebsite is hosted on to a IIS website in a server instead in azure. The handshake between the app and the website is done by the certificate.
Say Finish. For more details, refer authentication and hosting techniques from msdn.
So now our solution structure will be like this. It contains two projects. AppProject and AppWebProject like below.
Once you build the AppProject, itwill give the .app file(like .wsp for our sp solutions). We will publish this file to sharepoint site.
The appwebproject , we will deploy/host/publish this appwebproject to azure website.

Light is shone on to a diffraction grating. If the distance between the slits is d, then the path difference between successive diffracted beams is so Since there is a maximum order for n.
Example: L Light of wavelength is incident on a diffraction grating which has 600000 lines per metre. Find all the angles corresponding to the maxima.
If and this has no solution, so the maximum value for the order is 4. Note that there is one fringe on either side and a bright fringe in the middle so if a diffraction pattern has orders there are fringes.


I couldn't believe my eyes. There were two bucks in the photo and they were both giants.
Long, stout beams. Curved and towering tines. Stickers, splits and inside points. The antlers rose from their heads like towering crowns of driftwood, reaching toward the sky and wrapped in velvet.
It was the second offseason in a row that I had captured these two bucks on camera, but other than the obvious adrenaline rush provided, were these pictures going to do me any good? Only time would tell.
Over the past decade, trail cameras have become one of the most important tools in the avid whitetail hunter's arsenal, and for good reason. Trail cameras give us eyes where usually we can't see. They open doors that are most often closed.
All 365 days a year, trail cameras can help improve our chances of harvesting a mature whitetail. But most often, hunters focus their trail cam efforts during the hunting season and ignore many of the offseason months. This is a serious missed opportunity.
From the moment your season ends until the next season begins, there are good reasons to have trail cameras running on your hunting property. Most important of these, in my opinion, is the use of trail cameras to conduct herd surveys, to monitor antler drop, and then to take inventory of target bucks.
If you'd like to better manage the whitetail herd on the properties you hunt, you should definitely look into setting up a trail camera survey.
Trail camera surveys and the analysis of the results can be intensive, but at a basic level the survey involves baiting a number of sites across your property, photographing deer with trail cameras at these spots for about two weeks, and then using a set of calculations to extrapolate population dynamics based on the deer photographed.
These surveys can be conducted just after hunting season, or more popularly, just before the season.
A properly conducted trail camera survey can help you understand whitetail herd dynamics such as deer density, buck to doe ratio, fawn to doe ratio, age structure, and much more. This kind of information is critical when trying to implement (and measure the success of) any kind of serious whitetail management plan.
If you're interested in trying a trail camera survey, the Quality Deer Management Association has some valuable resources.
If you're a shed hunter, the period just after the past hunting season is a great time to have your cameras in the woods and at the ready. For the serious shed hunter, properly timing your jaunts into the woods is crucial.
You need to be in the woods early enough to find antlers before the squirrels do, but not too soon, as you don't want to spook deer off the property before they drop their antlers. The key to understanding the proper timing is to monitor your local deer with trail cams.
To do this, place cameras near the best winter food sources on your property and then, if legal in your state, place corn or some kind of feed block in front of them. Deer will naturally focus on these prime food sources (such as brassicas, corn, or soybeans), and then the bait will ensure that deer passing by will stop long enough for you to get a good look at them.
Replenish your bait and check your cameras once a week until your pictures show you that most the bucks have shed their antlers. When you see more pedicles than points, it's time to start shed hunting.
The time I enjoy using trail cameras the most is during the dog days of summer, leading up to the hunting season, when big velvet bucks start showing up in force. More than just fun, though, using trail cameras at this time can help you achieve several goals.
First, capturing trail cam photos of bucks in the summer allows you to gauge what the potential for your hunting property is for the upcoming season. In some cases, a summer inventory check can help you focus your efforts come autumn and help you determine where to spend your time.
Secondly, summer trail camera pictures can help you accurately age or score potential target bucks. For many of us, age or antler class are the primary factors that we judge a shot decision on, but field judging a deer during a hunt can be difficult in the moment.
By analyzing summer photos, you'll be better prepared to make an in-the-field decision when a known buck approaches.
Third, you can use some of the information garnered from summer trail camera pictures to help develop a hunting strategy. Consistent photos in certain areas can help you better understand a buck's core range, and although some bucks relocate to new ranges in September, a significant enough number of bucks will still stay close to their summer haunts.
Keep track of where and when you most often spot target bucks on camera and then confirm if they're still present in September. If so, you now have a treasure trove of information to help plan your hunts, access routes and ambushes.
I continued my offseason trail camera surveillance, and the two giant bucks continued to show for another four weeks after the initial photo mentioned earlier. With the insights gleaned from these photos, I established estimates of their age, a good idea of where I thought they were primarily bedding, and I confirmed a few favorite travel routes. I was armed and ready to hunt.
The second evening of my hunting season was a wet one, and I sheltered myself from the rain in my Redneck Blind. Several hours later, here he came.
Thanks to some strategic trail camera placement in the offseason, I sat and watched the long, stout beams approach. Curved and towering tines. Stickers, kickers and a few broken points. All that work in the offseason suddenly became worth it.


Newswise — March 24, 2015, NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. –- The first-ever randomized, controlled trial to compare spinal cord stimulation (SCS) technologies found that high-frequency SCS using 10 kHz (HF10) exceeded lower-frequency, traditional SCS in response rate and pain relief. Further, this was achieved without the paresthesia that may cause discomfort with traditional SCS, the researchers reported in a scientific poster at the 31st Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Pain Medicine.
Traditional SCS low-frequency (~50 Hz) stimulation is an attempt to mask the sensation of pain with a tingling or buzzing sensation, known as paresthesia. Therefore, the therapeutic goal with traditional SCS is to cover the areas of pain with paresthesias, explained B. Todd Sitzman, M.D., M.P.H., medical director of Advanced Pain Therapy, PLLC, in Hattiesburg, Miss.
More importantly, HF10 therapy was shown to be superior to traditional SCS in all of the study-related primary and secondary endpoints, including response rate and pain relief. The magnitude of back pain relief was consistent with previous European research of HF10 therapy (Van Buyten et al, Neuromodulation 2013;16(1):59-65; Al-Kaisy et al, Pain Med 2014;15(3):347-54).
The use of SCS, introduced in 1967, has expanded as a treatment for difficult pain syndromes, encompassing peripheral neuropathies, complex regional pain syndromes, peripheral vascular disease and other disorders in addition to failed back surgery syndrome (Deer, Techniques in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management 1998 2(3):161-7).
Traditional low-frequency SCS systems are widely used in clinical practice. However, the scientific literature indicates that achieving back pain coverage with traditional SCS is technically difficult and is often not sustained over time. (North et al, Neurosurgery 2005;57(5):990-62005; Frey et al, Pain Physician 2009;12(2):379-97). According to one report, 71 percent of patients who received an implant with traditional SCS experienced discomfort from the stimulation of paresthesia (Kuechmann et al, Abstract. Pain in Europe VI [EFIC], Lisbon, Portugal: Sept. 9-12, 2009). In the current study, 44 percent of patients receiving traditional SCS reported uncomfortable stimulation.
The study was a prospective, randomized, multicenter, comparative trial of the investigational HF10 vs. the standard SCS therapy, designed in consultation with and monitored by the FDA. Institutional review board approval was obtained for each study site.
The 12-month follow-up data indicated that the responder rate with HF10 therapy was twice that with traditional SCS for both back and leg pain. Also, the average degree of pain relief with HF10 therapy was more than 50 percent greater than with traditional SCS. The level-1 evidence with 12-month follow-up meets today's rigorous standards for evidence-based healthcare and complies with regulatory agency and payer preference for comparative effectiveness, the investigators said.
"These results provide important comparative effectiveness data for healthcare providers and clinically relevant information for pain physicians, patients and payers," Sitzman said.
At present, HF10 therapy is investigational in the United States. The manufacturer of the device, Nevro Corp., which funded this study, anticipates obtaining market approval from the FDA by mid-2015.
