Christopher Nolan's next film will recount the birth of the atomic bomb
Cillian Murphy is rumored to be playing famed inventor J Robert Oppenheimer in the director's historical drama.
Charles Bramesco
@intothecrevasse
It's said that in the moments after the first successful test of the atomic bomb, scientist Kenneth Bainbridge made the grim pronouncement that "now, we are all sons of bitches." This morning, that same phrase may very well sum up the general vibe over at Warner Brothers, as Christopher Nolan shops around his next film.
A report running on Deadline last night revealed that following last year's dustup over WB's decision to release their 2021 slate directly to HBO Max on the same day as theaters without forewarning talent, Nolan's exploring his options. The script for his follow-up to Tenet, which had a rocky rollout of its own, has drawn interest among the major studios for its chronicling of J. Robert Oppenheimer inventing the A-bomb. (He's the guy Bainbridge was talking to.)
Being in the earliest embryonic stages, not much detail is known about the project at present, but the Deadline item does mention that Cillian Murphy is rumored to be in consideration for the lead role. Sounds perfectly plausible, seeing as Murphy has appeared in five of Nolan's film prior to this point – the nefarious Scarecrow in all three Batman pictures, the businessman getting incepted in Inception, and a nameless soldier in Dunkirk.
The Deadline item states that "the project has the sweep of Nolan's last historical epic Dunkirk, looking at WWII from the development of the atomic bombs that ended the war with Japan," which wouldn't even cover the most compelling slice of Oppenheimer's life. He was wracked with guilt in the years after that successful trial in New Mexico, and devoted himself to halting nuclear proliferation, a peacenik stance that landed him in the HUAC's crosshairs during the red scare of the '50s.
In any case, Nolan's one of the few filmmakers left capable of wide-opening a movie on his name alone, and any studio worth their salts will be all to happy to pay big money for the chance to do just that. At this point, the only safe bet is that it won't be Netflix.

UGA again ranks in top 20 among best public universities
Posted by Staff Writer | Sep 12, 2022 | Featured, On The Beat | 0 |
U.S. News & World Report Article
New USNWR ranking puts the University of Georgia at No. 16 in the nation
The University of Georgia held fast at No. 16 in U.S. News & World Report's 2023 ranking of the best public universities in the nation, marking the seventh consecutive year that UGA has placed in the top 20.
"This outstanding news is another clear sign that the University of Georgia is solidifying its position among the very best public research universities in America," said President Jere W. Morehead. "The consistency of our national ranking is a testament to the commitment of our talented faculty, staff and students; the generosity and support of our loyal alumni and friends; and the effectiveness of our vision and strategy to reach new heights of academic excellence."
The University of Georgia shares the No. 16 ranking with Ohio State University and is just ahead of Purdue University at No. 18. UGA's ranking came in just behind the Georgia Institute of Technology at No. 15 and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the College of William & Mary, which are tied at No. 13.
UGA is one of only two institutions — along with Georgia Tech — to make the top 20 from the state of Georgia. Georgia is one of only four states (including California, Florida and Virginia) to have more than one institution in the top 20. In addition, UGA and the University of Florida remain the only two institutions from the Southeastern Conference to rank in the top 20.
The university also earned high marks in several distinct categories. The Terry College of Business ranked among the nation's top 25 undergraduate business programs. Among its individual degrees, the insurance program once again ranked No. 1. The real estate program was ranked No. 5, and the accounting program ranked No. 14. UGA also ranked as one of the top 25 best colleges for veterans.
A leader in student success
In 2016, UGA became the nation's largest public research university with an experiential learning requirement for all undergraduates. Since then, the university has given more than 43,000 students a competitive edge after graduation through hands-on learning experiences such as internships, research, study abroad and service-learning.
The successful implementation of experiential learning and similar student-focused initiatives is one of the many qualities contributing to the university's consistently strong performance in national rankings year after year. Demand for a UGA degree has never been higher: more than 40,000 students applied for admission to the fall 2022 entering class, and the number of applicants has grown by 85% since 2014.
"Through our commitment to teaching, research and service, the University of Georgia is building upon its long-standing reputation as a national leader in public higher education," said S. Jack Hu, the university's senior vice president for academic affairs and provost. "With our 2025 Strategic Plan guiding our work, we have launched several new initiatives in recent years that have enhanced the academic environment and will continue to bring the best and brightest students and faculty to the University of Georgia."
Setting standards of excellence
UGA's undergraduate degree completion and first-year retention rates now exceed those of many of its comparator and aspirational peers. The four-year completion rate is 72%, up from 63% just 10 years ago. The six-year completion rate has risen to 88%, and the first-year retention rate remains high at 95%.
The academic quality of UGA's student body continues to rise as well. The class of 2025, upon which this year's U.S. News & World Report ranking is based, brought an average high school GPA above 4.0. They also boasted an average score of 1391 on the SAT, which greatly exceeds the average of 1325 for incoming students in 2020. The average ACT score was a record 32, up from 31 in the previous year.
UGA has made significant investments in the learning environment in recent years, including increases to the number of instructors and advisers and transformation of traditional classrooms into active learning spaces. Almost half of all classes at UGA consist of fewer than 20 students, and the ratio of students to faculty members is 17 to 1.
UGA also is making strategic investments in the STEM disciplines. The university recently completed construction of a new Interdisciplinary STEM Research Complex to facilitate translational research in chemistry, engineering and related fields. A current hiring initiative in data science and artificial intelligence seeks to add 50 faculty members in these areas of growing importance to further enhance UGA's research and instructional capabilities.
This institution-wide progress has been fueled in part by private funding from alumni and friends of the university. UGA recently set a fundraising record with over $257 million contributed by more than 71,000 donors in FY22.
Along with the new ranking from U.S. News & World Report, Niche recently named UGA the No. 10 U.S. public university and the No. 2 college with the best student life in America. In addition, Forbes ranked UGA No. 21 on its list of top public colleges nationwide. The Princeton Review gave UGA top scores across the board on its lists of high-achieving public universities, including the No. 10 best school for financial aid, No.10 best school for alumni networks and No. 15 best school for internships.
Individual rankings can fluctuate from year to year, but the university's academic excellence can also be measured by other factors. The most recent data from UGA's Career Outcomes Survey showed that 92% of UGA students are employed or enrolled in graduate school within six months of graduation. In addition, the Jere W. Morehead Honors College continues to produce a record number of academic scholars including Rhodes, Gates Cambridge, Fulbright and Goldwater award winners.

"particular concerns have been raised about the very low uptake of RHI for ground source heat pumps and some of the assumptions underpinning the current tariffs.
Emerging evidence suggests there may be differences between actual costs and load factors of installations and the original assumptions used to calculate the current tariffs. After the work has finished a summary of the findings will be published.
Following the outcome of this work, if the evidence demonstrates that the initial assumptions and cost data need to be updated, subject to value for money considerations and the necessary approvals, DECC will consider proposing tariff changes for new installations in the Spring. It is DECC's intention that where tariffs increase as a result of this work, installations accredited from today (21 January) would benefit from that increase once the new tariffs come into force".
GSHPA welcomes the news that DECC is now able to recognise that the rates for GSHP installations will change and be effective from 21 January 2013. This will allow ground source installations to be installed and allow the RHI to achieve some of its most basic aims.
See the DECC announcement of 21 January 2013.
See the GSHPA Press Release of 24 January 2013.
Having received all the evidence that RHI is not supporting ground source energy – uptake has been only 1% of the government's own estimates – DECC has published its Early Tariff Review in May 2013. The welcome proposal is to double the tariff on smaller systems and triple the tariff on larger systems.
However, DECC prolongs the uncertainty and proposes a delay until Spring 2014 before these proposals are implemented. Once agreed accreditations from 21 January 2013 will be entitled to the revised tariffs.
The commitment of the Minister, Greg Barker, to increasing the tariffs for the Commercial RHI for GSHPs has repeatedly been made clear, including in Greg Barker's video address to the Ground Source Heat Pump industry on 27 March 2013. He has also confirmed that the increases will take effect from 21 January 2013.

Q: Querying 'random' Oracle data via openquery in SQL Server returning the same data for multiple runs I'm asked to help a developer figure out why the "random" data we should be getting from Oracle is exactly the same results each time you run it, rather than being actually random.
SQL 2012, Oracle 11g, linked server is using OLE DB connector type.
When they run the following query directly in the Oracle DB, they get proper "random" results. Through the linked server in SQL, they'll always get the same rows (and I've verified this by running the linked server query myself).
select * from openquery(ORA_DB, 'select XX_NUMBER, XX_CODE, UNIT, XX_serial, XX_date, XX_area, building, location, XX_status, owner_code, qa_XX_no
                               from qa_eligible_XX
                               where qa_XX_no = 4
                               and owner_code <> ''G''
                               and last_trans_code = ''OL''
                               and XX_cycle = ''90 - 120 Periodic''
                               and XX_date < sysdate - 90
                               and rownum <= 200
                               order by dbms_random.value')

Note: I'm not an Oracle DBA but I work with one; he didn't see an issue with the Oracle part of the above query. Also, I edited a lot of stuff out and replaced with XX for privacy.
Each time we run this query in SSMS, we get the same 200 rows. I even connected from another SQL server that has the same linked server and ran this query, and got the same 200 rows (the same Oracle user is used for both connections). This leads me to believe Oracle may be caching the results; but somehow it's not doing this when the query's run in Oracle directly. Is there a way to force it to return new results through openquery? (so that the 200 rows it returns are a truly random sampling each time)

A: In the query you have it appears as though you are grabbing the first two hundred rows, and then sorting those by dbms_random.value.
This would be due to Oracle's query precedence which performs the query and then sorts the results. You would want to randomly sort the results first and then return the first two hundred rows. Using a subquery should provide you with the data that you want.
select * from openquery(ORA_DB, 'select * from
                                (
                                   select XX_NUMBER, XX_CODE, UNIT, XX_serial, XX_date, XX_area, building, location, XX_status, owner_code, qa_XX_no
                                   from qa_eligible_XX
                                   where qa_XX_no = 4
                                   and owner_code <> ''G''
                                   and last_trans_code = ''OL''
                                   and XX_cycle = ''90 - 120 Periodic''
                                   and XX_date < sysdate - 90
                                   order by dbms_random.value
                               )
                               where rownum <= 200 ')

A: Oracle classic. The ORDER BY occurs after the WHERE rownum <= 200

Retro TV Review: Star Trek Enterprise Season One Episode Twenty: Detained
At long last, Dr Sam Beckett returns but finds himself in an unfamiliar future with some very familiar faces…oh…wait, no, that's not right…. Originally broadcast on April 24. 2002 this is Detained.
Captain's Log Date Undetermined
Mayweather and Archer find themselves in a prison camp that appears to be filled with Suliban. They soon discover that they stumbled upon a rivalry between the Tandarans and the Suliban and they are in a Tandaran holding facility awaiting processing. Assured they will be released soon due to their human DNA, Archer and Mayweather soon realize that this holding facility is little more than a concentration camp for innocent Suliban.
Archer soon learns that the Suliban have been searching for a home as their own home planet was detroyed some time back. Upon arriving in Tandaran space, this group has been held against their will by one Colonel Grat. Archer soon meets with Grat, who refuses to set Archer free unless Archer provides information about 'the Cabal'.
Before long Archer is able to contact Enterprise via a communicator beamed to him, and begins to plot an escape for not just his people, but the innocent Suliban as well. Grat becomes curious as to what Archer is planning and puts the Captain in isolation after explaining that the Suliban are in this facility for their own good. He explains that, should they free them, these settlers may be tempted to join the Cabal and the Tandarans can not allow that.
Reed disguises himself as a Suliban and frees Mayweather but it seems Grat has taken Archer hostige and soon threatens to kill him if Enterprise does not provide him with the information he wishes. Soon Archer is rescued and the Suliban set free by Reed, leaving Grat in a prison cell alone. Although there is a risk that these refugees will join the Cabal, Archer believes that he has done the right thing.
This is a prime example of Star Trek at it's best and Enterprise finally tapping into that which makes this franchise great. Since it's inception, Star Trek has been known for it's commentary on Socio-political issues and until now this very series seems to have been skirting that very thing, until now.
Detained is a tremendous analogy to the internment camps used in the United States during World War II to hold Asian citizens 'for their own safety'. You see, during that time Japan had become an enemy of the United States and, as our country is want to do, many of the Asian citizens became targets of hatred and bigotry simply because they looked different. So, under the guise of protection, the US Government rounded up innocent Japanese-American citizens and relocated them into internment camps. In reality, this was done by the government in order to 'prevent espionage on American shores' because it was assumed that just being Japanese would lead some of them to betray their government. This, of course, led to a deeper bigotry toward Asian citizens which, sadly, lasts even today.
Taking this premise, Detained explores the idea that, while we were introduced to the Suliban as enemies at the start of the series, not every Suliban is a member of the Cabal. The beauty of this episode is that it forces not only the characters but also the viewers to reconsider their viewpoint of a species that we have known as an enemy from the very start. It's not often that a series gives viewers such an impactful and intense situation to consider but Detained does just that.
The other thing that makes this episode iconic among scifi fans is that it reunites two actors from another beloved scifi series, namely Quantum Leap. You see, Scott Bakula (Archer) and Dean Stockwell (Grat) once worked together as Bakula travelled through time 'fixing' things with Stockwell as his holographic partner. While they don't reunite as friends in this particular instance, it was cool to see them together again.
Overall, this is certainly one of the best episodes so far this season showing that Enterprise is finally hitting it's stride. It forces us to pause for a moment to reconsider our bias toward an 'enemy' on this series while also teaching us that we have done this very thing in our own world many times before.
Personal Log
Hatred of any kind is never a good thing. Just because someone looks different or acts different, is never a reason to distrust or dislike any individual. Before you judge anyone by their looks, take a moment to get to know them first. You might be surprised in what you find if you open your heart and your mind.
For more information on the Japanese Internment Camps, you can read about them here via History.com and I would also recommend reading They Called Us Enemy by veteran Trek Actor George Takei who was held in one of these camps as a child.
This is not the last we see of the Tandarans…
The Suliban Cabal continues to be a threat even after the events of this episode and we never learn the fates of Danik, his daughter Narra or Sajen.
Reed is given the appearance of a Suliban in order to infiltrate the facility…because of course he is.
Thanks for reading the Retro TV Review, I look forward to discussing the rest of the series with you, one episode at a time every Monday, Wednesday and Friday! Next Review: Vox Sola

I want a pink and orange wedding dress. After lots of exploration I decided to buy a dress and paint it. The dress is organza on top of satin. I'd narrowed down to angelus mixed with 2-thin and gac900, applied with a preval sprayer. I went with leather paint so I didn't need to wash it, and because it didn't bleed through the organza as unevenly. The hand is fine. But I've realized the Pink options aren't right.
Question - do I try mixing? Or try dye-na-flow, which I haven't tried and seems to have a great color. If I do, do I have to heat set it? I can't wash the dress.
Not quite sure what you mean by mixing. However, Dye-Na-Flow is an excellent option for what you are describing.
I think painting would be a better option than dying, the dye could cause damage to your gown fabric, my friend who got married last year in Florida painted her wedding dress and it turned out very well. The best thing is that you can even wash it afterwards. So you can try this method instead of dying.
Elizabeth. Did your friends dress turn out stiff and not as naturally flowy as it once was? I have a dry clean only dress I want to dye so regular dyeing isnt a good option for me.


So everybody makes a camera now. Sony, Panasonic, Canon, JVC, RED, Arri...yeah we've all heard about these companies. But Blackmagic, with their 2 additional iPad screens on a sensor, will now offer 5 different camera models for sale. BMD claims to ship the URSA and BSC by July...though their history says otherwise. AJA didn't want to get left out so they developed the CION (see here). This camera looks like a shoulder-mount camera persons dream. It's balanced, good dynamic range, global shutter, PL-mount, XLR inputs and on and on and on. I do wonder how this will impact AJA's relationship with other camera manufactures which they have traditionally supplemented through recorders and converter boxes....?
Every company now makes a portable slider, jib, and some sort of Movi knock-off. Manufacturers of sliders and jibs have been in a race-to-the-bottom as they continue to refine manufacturing processes and reduce the price. A smooth, lightweight slider can now be purchased for under $1K. I just recently purchased the Duzi from Cinevate for $400 from B&H. There's little reason for videographers and indie cinematographers not to add motion to their shots if it's needed. At the very least, price isn't the problem now.
It seemed like their were a million different Movi-like products. The most interesting of them seems to be the Letus Helix (see here). I see this part of the market taking a similar trajectory to sliders and jibs. In another 18-24 months these products will sell for under $1K and provide smooth, fluid, balanced motion. If you gotta have one now, there's plenty of good products to pick from. If you can wait then I'm sure there's even better (and cheaper) products on the horizon.
Since everybody is making a camera now and they all shoot at least 1080p, many shoot 2K/4K/6K images and all cameras shoot to solid-state media there's no better time to get serious about asset management than right now. As shooting becomes cheaper and more cost-efficient for greater and greater resolutions you better start thinking now about how to ingest, edit, deliver, and archive those assets. Whether you're looking at CatDV, Cantemo, eMAM, or something else it's time to get serious about managing your media and/or backing up that media. There is no day coming where you'll shoot less (unless you retire), ask for slower speeds, need less storage space, or not need to resurrect an old project. Everything that shot is now expected to be recalled on a whim and repurposed. Regardless of if you're in news, commercial, corporate, or event tracking your media and reusing it is only going to grow more important. So get in the habit now of maintaining strict folder structures, and creating archives of your work.
A couple weeks later they showed off Resolve 10, which looked even more like a NLE. A year later, 2014, Resolve 11 shows up and it looks even more like a NLE. BMD has a serious powerful and market disrupting strategy at play here. Short-term I image most of us will stick with the paid guns that have always done traditional NLE stuff - Avid, Apple, Adobe, Autodesk. But what about the next wave of video editors, vfx artists, and colorists? If they are in high school today, they can download the same version of Resolve that "the big boys" run....and oh yeah, it's completely free. BMD is training a whole host of up and coming artists on their software. Not necessarily because it's better, but because it's more readily available and accessible.
The other A's have no choice but to drop their price in order to compete. And that's exactly what we're seeing year-over-year. FCPX - $299. Adobe moved to a subscription plan that can cost an individual as little as $20/month. Avid continues to lower the price of Media Composer, now down to old Final Cut Studio prices at $999 and Autodesk just announced a subscription service for Smoke which again lowers the price from $3,499 to $1,750 per year (you can also subscribe per month at $195 or per quarter at $545).
It seems like BMD, with Resolve, is further eroding the "make money on software" concept which was so popular in the 90's and early 00's. Now companies need to rely on additional sources of revenue to generate income - Avid sells Isis, Apple sells it's hardware to run it's software. If BMD's pace of development for Resolve doesn't slow down or their business model doesn't change I can see some serious struggles ahead for the other NLE's as they try to justify their costs in an ever softening NLE landscape. In 2, 3, or 4 years Resolve could be just as, if not more, capable than a Media Composer, FCP, or Premiere. Look at how fast FCP and Premiere have moved on product development. FCP X only came out 3 years ago and it's had several upgrades. Premiere since CS5.5 has moved at lighting speeds to add features and increase usability and interoperability. (And yes, I'm leaving Avid off this fast moving list as I still think they're a lumbering dinosaur that caters to a specific segment of the market, and not much else). Autodesk with Smoke 2013 and now 2 years later, Smoke 2015, has made drastic rewrites to its UI and UX designs. BMD certainly has the long-game in mind with Resolve as a NLE though (see Philip Hodgetts' remarks here).
Manage your media. Start creating strict folder structures and naming conventions. Start backing up your data. A file doesn't exist until it exists in at least 2 places (preferably 3).
Keep learning. There are tremendous resources for hardware or software training available to anyone willing to spend the time to learn - Twitter, YouTube, CreativeCow, lynda.com, manufactures websites, books, etc. People not knowing means they just don't want to take the time to read what's out there.
Meet people. This is something I'm not good at. I like being behind a camera or a computer...I'm an introvert. But meeting people, networking, attending premieres, talking with vendors, etc. is part of the social experience of our profession. It's also important if you want to develop other contacts for future purchases, jobs or learning opportunities.
CION™ is the new 4K/UHD and 2K/HD production camera from AJA. Record directly to Apple ProRes 422 and 444 at up to 4K 60fps or output AJA Raw at up to 4K 120fps. CION features an ergonomic design and open connectivity to give complete flexibility in the field or studio.
The price looks right at $9K MSRP for the features specced on the camera. The only other question I have is can they hit their shipping dates?

Stands for Florida/Georgia, again the material is mostly from the coast. Amazing tidal marshes and barrier islands. Of course, too much development has made most of this coast unreachable, like many parts of the country. The only areas that are semi wild are those protected as parks. I am very thankful that we at least have these. Some of my favorites down south are St. Vincent island national wildlife area and Cumberland Island National park. This last winter I added The Everglades to this list. It seems to me a kayak is essential for really being able to see these quiet tidal areas and coastal back waters. Sunrise and set are especially important times to shoot with all that reflecting water and sky.
I am just beginning to mine the material I have from the Georgia and Florida barrier islands. These pieces were done for Editions Limited.

Iveco, Maganetti and Levissima-Sanpellegrino open a new LNG-CNG station in Gera Lario (Como). This project sees two leaders in their respective categories of the Dow Jones sustainability indices – CNH Industrial through Iveco and Nestlé through Levissima-Sanpellegrino – join forces to support sustainable logistics to the benefit of the local community.
The deployment of LNG station in Europe accelerates; this is already the 6th station in Italy.
The inauguration ceremony, presided by Pierre Lahutte, Iveco Brand President, Matteo Lorenzo De Campo, CEO of Maganetti Group, and Stefano Agostini, CEO of Levissima-Sanpellegrino Group, saw the presentation of the "LNG Valtellina Logistica Sostenibile" project ("LNG Valtellina Sustainable Logistics" project), backed by Maganetti Group (a leading logistics company operating in the Sondrio province), developed in collaboration with the Levissima-Sanpellegrino Group and supported with Iveco natural gas vehicles.
The initiative was conceived to promote an environmentally-sustainable road-based transport service powered primarily by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an alternative to diesel and petrol, using LNG-fuelled Iveco vehicles. This decision was motivated by the opportunity for environmental benefits and economic savings provided by the reduced cost of LNG, which boasts the same energy efficiency as traditional fuels, thus offsetting the investment costs required in order to adopt Iveco's new LNG technology.
The Iveco Stralis NP LNG-powered trucks in the Maganetti fleet which will be involved in the project show the company's strong links to the region with their personalization: each truck has been named after a place of natural, cultural or economic significance in the Valtellina area and the back doors to its trailer personalized with an photograph of the place. The project will benefit from the new CNG-LNG station built by Ham Italia, an Italian-Spanish company specialising in the design, construction and maintenance of facilities and in the transport and marketing of Liquefied Natural Gas. The Stralis NP vehicles and the new LNG station will play their role in the LNG Valtellina Sustainable Logistics project to spread the use of financially viable, environmentally-friendly logistics solutions and support a sustainable development of the region's economy.
At the ceremony a CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) Minibus Daily Pop Iveco Bus donated to the Municipality of Gera Lario by the Renzo and Nuccia Maganetti Foundation was officially handed over, as a symbol of the two companies' commitment to a sustainable transport and logistics industry. The CNG-powered Daily Pop Minibus (50C14 model) features a 28 + 1 + 1 seating configuration, and will provide green transportation for the students from Gera Lario - and it will be able to refuel at its very own LNG and CNG station.
Iveco Stralis NP vehicles, powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), were present at the ceremony celebrating the opening ceremony to highlight the advantages of Liquefied Natural Gas and draw attention to the fact that it is now possible to use this fuel in heavy transport with Iveco New Stralis NP trucks, such as the New Stralis NP AS440S40T/P LNG model on display at the event. The New Stralis NP is the first natural gas vehicle designed for long-distance missions, equipped with the 400 hp Iveco Cursor 9 engine, Eurotronic gearbox and double LNG tank (each with a capacity of 540 litres) providing autonomy of up to 1500 km. Participants to the opening ceremony were also able to see how easy it is to refuel at this new station, as demonstrated by the Iveco New Stralis NP trucks.
In his speech, Matteo Lorenzo De Campo highlighted the significance of the inauguration of this new self-service LNG station, the first of its kind in the Lombardy region, which is unique also in the fact that it is located off the main freight traffic route.
This serves as proof that this technology can still flourish even an area like the Valtellina, which is synonymous with nature and mountainous landscapes, and that today it is increasingly available wherever local industries are motivated to preserve the environment in which they operate.
At the end of his speech, De Campo announced that various government incentives have also allowed for 13 additional new Stralis NP vehicles powered by LNG to be purchased: Maganetti Group will now boast 36 LNG-powered vehicles, representing 20% of the entire fleet.
Pierre Lahutte, Iveco Brand President, expressed his profound appreciation for the proposed project and for the entrepreneurial vision of Maganetti Group, which echoes that pursued by Iveco, the first manufacturer in the world in the commercial transport industry to understand the potential of natural gas. Iveco has long been a forerunner in the promotion of natural gas as an alternative fuel for trucks, vans and buses.
Iveco's ongoing focus and research into new technologies has enabled the brand to become the European leader in alternative fuels, developing cutting edge solutions contribute to a further reduction of the environmental impact of the transport sector, making Iveco the ideal partner for sustainable transport, as expressed in the brand's pay-off: "Iveco. Your partner for sustainable transport".
For the sixth year in a row, CNH Industrial has been named the leading industrial company in the Dow Jones Sustainability indices for Europe and the world, confirming the essential role that sustainability plays in the company, and bearing testament to the focus of the Group on this issue across all fields of business. The Nestlè Group, to which Sanpellegrino belongs, was crowned most sustainable company in the food industry for 2016 on a worldwide level by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.


(NBC) – Teenagers love to text. In fact, many send thousands every month, but all that thumb action does have consequences, and now doctors are warning teens to cut back.
"Well, Bailey, what you have is texting teen tendonitis," Sadler said. That's right, Bailey has TTT.
Thirteen-year-old Bailey Baker's thumbs are in constant motion, sending text messages to her friends again, and again, and again.
Last month may have been her best month ever, texting 8,000 times.
Now, she said she's feeling the pain.
"Just mainly back and neck problems and thumb numbness and it hurts," Bailey said.
Dr. Jane Sadler is seeing more and more teens who simply text until it hurts. She said parents, including Bailey's mom, have no idea how much their kids are texting.
It doesn't take Dr. Sadler long to isolate the problem.
She gave Bailey the once over and learned she's texting about 200 times a day.
"Well, Bailey, what you have is texting teen tendonitis," Sadler said.
That's right, Bailey has TTT.
Dr. Sadler said back soreness is caused by poor posture while texting.
Bailey often texts for up to two hours a day; that's a lot of wear and tear on the thumbs, which over time, can break down.
"What I tell them is 'hey, you might be normal now, but when you are 40 or 50, you can get arthritis,'" Sadler said.
Dr. Sadler expects a boom in thumb joint replacement surgeries over the next several decades.
Dr. Sadler prescribed exercises to strengthen Bailey's hands.
School may be out, but Bailey said she learned a lesson about the downside of all that texting.
"Because I didn't think that texting could make your hands feel so bad," Bailey said.
Dr. Sadler recommends limiting texting to 50 a day.

Q: How can I pass a simple search query into the URL? I have a search form on my site,
and I want to pass the text in the form to the URL,
like: mysite.com/search.php?q=apples (if search word was apples).
I figure that way people can bookmark their searches.
One solution I thought would be to catch the searchword in search.php and then reload into a new made URL.  But it's not very elegant to reload like that.  So how can I do it - I mean, how is it normally done?  Do I need to use jQuery?
Clarification: I know how to get the vars from the URL in php.  What I need is to control the URL that will be opened when the user presses SUBMIT, and the URL needs to contain the user's search word!  Just like Google or DuckDuckGo, I put "apples" and the URL becomes ...?q=apples.  But - how?!  (Then I'll pick that up in the search.php, of course, but I know how to do that.)  This is what I have now:

<form action="search.php" method="post">
<input name="searchword" type="text">
<input type="submit">
</form>

Thank you so much.

A: Upon reading the clarification. What you need is a search form that submits to your search.php for example:
<form action="search.php" method="get">
<input type="text" value="search word" name="q" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>

This will pass whatever value entered in the input named q to the search.php script.

A: If you post a HTML form which includes a text field with name 'q' and value 'apples' then the URL you want is automatically created by the browser. You definitely don't need JQuery for that.

A: how about using the POST-Redirect-GET pattern? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post/Redirect/Get] also http://blog.andreloker.de/post/2008/06/Post-Redirect-Get.aspx
This would allow you to keep the url in the browser:
yoursite.com/search.php?q=apples

Alternatively, you can use javascript to set the location.hash of the url in the browser w/ the query information after the postback;  I suspect this is actually what Google does.
eg,
yoursite.com/search.php#apples

A: So the form action would be search.php, the field would be called q and the method would be Get?
You should be able to handle all this from the html form if I'm understanding what it is you're trying to achieve.

A: if you have a form  then must have declared form methoed POST/GET
in you search.php you can simply do this $_POST['name of the input field'] to get the word string,
and if you want to pass variable in url then you need to make a link through Link

Buddhist meditation in Perth Western Australia
Diamond Way Buddhism is an international network of Buddhist meditation centres for people who want to integrate the Buddhist view with daily life and work. The centres teach meditation methods for complete beginners through to advanced methods learned in retreat conditions. All Diamond Way meditation practices come from the Karma Kagyu lineage, a thousand-year-old tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. These teachings have been passed down from the historical Buddha.
From the 12th century, the Karma Kagyu lineage has been headed by the Karmapas, the first reincarnate line of Tibetan teachers. Currently, the 17th Karmapa, Thaye Dorje, lives in India but travels widely to teach his many students around the world. His predecessor, the 16th Karmapa, asked Lama Ole Nydahl and his wife Hannah Nydahl to establish Karma Kagyu Buddhism in the West. Starting in the early 70's, to date they have started 648 Buddhist centres in over forty countries around the world.
Everyone is very welcome to visit the new Diamond Way Buddhist Centre in Bibra Lake to learn more about Buddhism and meditation.

ATD (Across the Disciplines) invites submissions for an upcoming Special Issue on Internationalizing the WAC/WID classroom.
Over the last two decades, both international experience and international competence in terms of communication and cultural understanding have become extraordinarily important to the newest generations of undergraduate students. An enhanced level of global literacy provides myriad benefits for new graduates, giving them the ability to communicate across international and local cultural borders, to see connections between their worlds, and to develop an international sensitivity that will allow them to succeed professionally and socially in a globally competitive job market. This emphasis on taking U.S. students to the world and bringing the world to U.S. students has led to internationalization efforts across university curricula that have extended through institutional layers to departmental and course levels.
In English and writing departments, these efforts have been translated into initiatives that bring a global flavor to many courses, first year writing in particular. While on the surface, this seems like a reasonable goal, achievable, as Schaub (2003) puts it, by "expanding writing assignments to encompass international interests and themes and revising syllabi to reflect a more global perspective," in reality, it entails no inconsiderable amount of work and reflection. Matsuda and Silva (1999) argue that: "writing teachers and writing program administrators are facing, among many others, two important challenges. The first is to provide an appropriate environment for all types of students, as the student population at many university campuses is becoming increasingly diverse and international … the second challenge is to provide educational opportunities in which students can prepare themselves for an increasingly internationalized world." Matsuda and Silva articulate an important point: the difficulties inherent in internationalizing the composition classroom lie both in the internal dynamics of the class and in bringing with world into that classroom in a way that is meaningful and educational to every student in the course.
Within English and Writing Studies, internationalizing the writing classroom has been studied from several perspectives, including Composition and Rhetoric, ESL/EFL, and Technical and Professional Writing. Christiane Donahue (2009), Stephen Guerin (2009), Santosh Khadka (2012), Mark Schaub (2003), and the collaborative partnerships of Paul Kei Matsuda, Tony Silva, and Aya Matsuda have done much to further our thinking vis à vis internationalization, both from practical and philosophical viewpoints, but there remains a relative paucity of resources for the WAC/WID instructor, WPAs, and in particular, faculty in writing-based courses in disciplines other than English.
Proposal Format: Please submit a one-page proposal explaining your topic, the research and theoretical base on which you will draw, and your plans for the structure of your article, following the general guidelines for ATD at http://wac.colostate.edu/atd/submissions.cfm. Send your proposal electronically (in MS Word format) to guest editors Stefanie Frigo (sfrigo@nccu.edu) and Collie Fulford (cfulfor1@nccu.edu), and also to ATD editor Michael Pemberton at michaelp@georgiasouthern.edu. Please provide full contact information with your submission.

New survey reveals importance of connecting airports
One in three passengers base their travel decisions on their connecting airport, a new survey has found.
The poll, carried out at Helsinki Airport, of passengers across six countries, revealed four distinct types of traveller – fast and efficient flyers (38%; enjoyment seekers (30%; habitual travellers (18%; and safety seekers (13%).
Of the fast and efficient flyers, two out of three choose their flight connections based on the connecting airport, while 40% of habitual travellers do the same.
Connecting airports are especially important to the British, the survey found, with 43% considering the airport when planning their journey.
Finavia said the research was "of particular interest" as the company is focusing on developing Helsinki Airport to be a "smooth and desirable hub" and wants to strengthen its position as "the leading transit airport in Northern Europe".
Ville Haapasaari, airport director of Helsinki Airport, said: "By regularly conducting surveys and studying passengers' attitudes and habits we are able to collect valuable data which guides us in our service development.
"It is essential that we understand the needs of travellers so that we can better develop our airports and the services they offer and cater to new and growing passenger groups."

The atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to analyse the contractile behaviour of embryonic chicken cardiomyocytes.cialis canada The mechanical pulsing of cardiomyocytes was analysed by observing active single cells as well as cells in a confluent layer. When embedded in a confluent layer, owing to synchronisation, pulsing of the cells was often found to be very stable in terms of frequency and amplitude of the beat, including negative as well as positive amplitudes. http://www.awomanbehindwomen.ca Nevertheless, owing to movements of contraction centres within the layer, a flipping of the sign of the amplitude did sometimes also occur on a time scale of minutes. In contrast, single cells often changed between active periods of pulsing and periods of complete quietness.awomanbehindwomen Also characteristic parameters like beat period and pulse… amplitude were observed to be unstable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadalafil Finally, we combined the abilities of the AFM to image adherent single cells and to record locally beat amplitudes, to characterise the pulsing behaviour of single cells laterally resolved.

Dr Jan M Mokrzycki,Mr Benefield (Letters, Dec 5) suggests that students being exempt from council tax is at the expense of the citizens of Coventry.
This is not the case as the government in its block grant takes into account the lost council tax from exempted domestic properties occupied by students, universities, http://www.awomanbehindwomen.ca non profit making, charities, under 18 year olds, caravans and boats, etc. The dramatic council cuts are a result of the overall block grant being cut by the government and has nothing to do with students.
The reason why students are exempt is that for the most part student incomes are low and if they were eligible then they would get both housing and council tax benefits. It would cost the city more. Secondly, students tend to be highly mobile and tend to move around without doing the necessary paperwork.
The universities, themselves, are exempt as institutions which are non profit making despite being major local employers and key major drivers of economic development. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadalafil Their rates are also taken into account by the block grant.
What seems to concern Mr Benefield is the landlords who run the student houses for profit but they do not live in the property and, therefore, cannot under the present system be made liable for the council tax. This is government and not a council decision. I would agree these landlords tend to take poor regard of their property's neighbours.
What Mr Benefield is arguing would appear to be the multiplicity of houses of multiple occupation in small areas. This is a planning issue and has nothing to do with council tax. It has nothing to do with individual students.

25.09.2019 Egypt
Sisi, Egypt's undisputed leader
By Emmanuel Parisse
Egypt's president and current African Union chair, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. By SEYLLOU (AFP)
Since ascending to power in 2014, Egypt's general-turned-president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has imposed himself as an uncontested leader, stamping out opposition despite criticism by rights groups.
His government has taken no chances and arrested over 600 people after hundreds of Egyptians protested his rule last week.
The rare demonstrations followed an appeal by Mohamed Aly, an exiled Egyptian businessman in Spain, to topple Sisi.
The construction contractor has posted videos accusing Sisi of corruption and the military of wasting public money on building luxury properties.
The president has dismissed the allegations as "lies and slander".
He has also warned against the dangers of protesting, describing the 2011 revolution that unseated long-time autocrat Hosni Mubarak as a "mistake".
Sisi, a champion of relative stability in a turbulent region, commands the support of Western powers.
US President Donald Trump regularly lavishes him with praise. On Monday, he hailed him as "a great leader" who brought "order" to Egypt.
A former army chief, Sisi stormed to the presidency in 2014 polls with 96.9 percent of the vote, a year after he led the military in ousting Egypt's first freely-elected president, the Islamist Mohamed Morsi.
Whether people love or loathe Sisi, regard him as a bulwark of stability or an autocrat, he is an undisputed political force in Egypt.
Under Sisi, authorities have silenced all forms of political opposition in a sweeping crackdown on Islamists as well as secular and liberal activists.
Even prominent novelists, actors, and singers who express the slightest criticism of his rule have not been spared.
'Father of the nation'
In the run-up to his 2018 re-election, he swept aside all token opposition parties, becoming the only real choice on the ballot paper.
He won with 97 percent of votes, official results said.
In April, he further cemented his grip on power with a snap referendum to approve constitutional changes to allow him to remain president until 2030.
Sisi was born in November 1954 in El-Gamaleya neighbourhood in the heart of Islamic Cairo.
Egypt's government has taken no chances and arrested over 600 people after hundreds of Egyptians protested against the president's rule last week. By STR (AFP/File)
He graduated from Egypt's military academy in 1977, later studied in Britain and the United States, and became military intelligence chief under Mubarak.
As Egypt's leader, Sisi is often seen microphone in hand, presiding over public ceremonies.
Speaking in Egypt's Arabic dialect, sometimes laughing in the middle of his own lengthy speeches, he projects an image of father of the nation.
He is fond of telling Egyptians they are the apple of his eye, stressing he is there only to serve the people.
Regularly invoking stability as a cornerstone to achieving prosperity, he has made the fight against "terrorism" a priority.
Many Egyptians see him as the right man to lead the country after years of political, security, and economic turmoil that followed Mubarak's ouster.
A father of four whose wife has recently been thrust in the spotlight with the corruption revelations, Sisi is described by those close to him as a pious Muslim.
But he is also reported to have a strong sense of his own importance, with audio recordings leaked by Islamist-leaning media pointing to a large ego.
In one leak, Sisi recalls a dream about the late president Anwar Sadat, which he saw as an omen that he would one day become powerful himself.
'National security'
Ironically, it was now-jailed Morsi who appointed Sisi defence minister and commander-in-chief of the armed forces in 2012.
A year later, Sisi ended Morsi's turbulent year in power and cracked down on the Islamist's supporters, with hundreds of people killed in weeks.
On August 14, 2013, security forces killed more than 700 people in Cairo when they dispersed sit-ins by pro-Morsi protesters.
Human Rights Watch said the "mass killings of protesters" that day amounted to "probable crimes against humanity".
Since Morsi's removal, tens of thousands of his followers have been jailed, and hundreds sentenced in rapid mass trials condemned by the United Nations.
Sisi has also launched a military campaign against Islamic State group fighters in the north of the Sinai Peninsula.
But so far he has been unable to quash the insurgency.
On the economic front, he has launched an IMF-mandated programme of drastic reforms that include cutting energy subsidies, introducing value-added tax, and floating the pound.
International human rights groups have repeatedly accused him of committing serious violations to silence dissent.
During his first presidential campaign, he said "talking about freedoms" should not take precedence over "national security".
Egypt needed "20 to 25 years to establish a true democracy", he said.

Carlos Arnaldo Krug (São Paulo, 25 de outubro de 1906 – Campinas, 6 de fevereiro de 1973) foi um agrônomo, pesquisador e professor universitário brasileiro.

Responsável pelo cultivo do  primeiro híbrido duplo de milho produzido no Brasil, Krug foi chefe do departamento de genética do Instituto Agronômico de Campinas e um dos mais importantes agrônomos do país. É considerado o maior nome da genética experimental em plantas e, consequentemente, o responsável pelos maiores avanços do melhoramento genético vegetal das culturas mais importantes do Brasil.

Biografia
Natural da capital paulista, Krug era filho de Francisco Krug e Erna Krug. Fez o curso secundário na Alemanha, formando-se como engenheiro agrônomo pela Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz, em Piracicaba, em 1928. No mesmo ano ingressou como assistente no Instituto Agronômico de Campinas, na recém criada seção de genética, onde trabalhou com a planta do café.

Em 1931, Krug foi enviado para a Universidade Cornell, em Nova York, para cursar o mestrado em genética, citogenética e melhoramento de plantas. Retornando ao Brasil no final de 1932, Krug tornou-se chefe da seçáo de genética do mesmo Instituto Agronômico.

Carreira
Suas principais pesquisas concentravam-se no melhoramento do milho e do café. A seção de genética do Instituto Agronômico de Campinas era considerada um dos primeiros locais criados no país destinados especificamente para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas sobre a herança e melhoramento das espécies vegetais, em cooperação com instituições de pesquisa estaduais, federais e com entidades privadas.

A cafeicultura desenvolveu-se com rapidez no Brasil neste período, seguidas das culturas de arroz, feijão e milho. Estudavam-se principalmente a biologia da reprodução, a genética, a evolução e a herança de fatores controladores da resistência às doenças e pragas. Krug trouxe o milho híbrido dos Estados Unidos, que já tinha apresentado bons resultados na Argentina. Por 12 anos, Krug e colaboradores trabalharam para o melhoramento genético do cultivo do milho híbrido e o estado de São Paulo foi o primeiro da América Latina a contar com híbridos obtidos através de linhagens próprias.

Krug também trabalhou com o café, na década de 1930, época em que não se esperava mais por um novo período áureo para o cultivo do café no Brasil. Esperava-se que com a pesquisa genética houvesse melhorias nas plantas que elevasse a qualidade do café. Assim ele pesquisou sua biologia da reprodução, taxinomia, análises citológicas, morfologia, anatomia, análises genéticas e seleção de linhagens produtivas e de boa qualidade.

Krug implantou um banco de germoplasma, no qual reunia todas as variedades de Coffea arabica cultivadas e as variações que foram sendo encontradas nas várias visitas a fazendas de café pelo Brasil, bem como as espécies que já haviam sido importadas além das existentes em antiga coleçáo do Instituto Agronômico e no Horto Florestal da Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro, em Rio Claro. O germoplasma tornou-se um dos mais completos referentes ao C. arabica.

O Instituto Agronômico de Campinas realizou amplas análises genéticas no café, tornando-se o único centro de pesquisa a realizar tais estudos com a planta,  cujos resultados eram periodicamente apresentados em congressos e reunióes internacionais. Devido a estes estudos foi possível determinar, geneticamente, que a semente do café era formada por endosperma verdadeiro, sendo de interesse para fins de melhoramento. Dez anos depois, sementes da linhagem de Bourbon Vermelho, bem mais produtivas e uniformes do que as existentes anteriormente, eram utilizadas pelos cafeicultures.

Krug foi o único pesquisador brasileiro participante do VI International Congress of Genetics, realizado em Ithaca, Nova York, de 24 a 30 de agosto de 1932. Em 1933, Krug deu um curso sobre genética no Instituto Agronômico de Campinas, considerado um dos cursos pioneiros na área. Em 1935, tornou-se supervisor da Divisão de Citologia, subordinada ao Serviço de Introdução de Plantas, do Instituto Agronômico de Campinas.

Krug ganhou uma Bolsa Guggenheim em 1940. Sobre este período ele publicou em 1944 o artigo Observações e investigações feitas numa viagem de estudos aos Estados Unidos da América do Norte, 1940- 1941.

Em 1941, Krug foi convidado por Edmundo Navarro de Andrade, Superintendente do Serviço Florestal do Estado de São Paulo, a elaborar um programa de melhoramento genético dos eucaliptos. O programa elaborado por Krug foi considerado um dos mais avançados da época e o começo da pesquisa em genética florestal no Brasil.

Junto de Theodosius Dobzhansky, em 1943, ele participou do curso sobre evolução no Departamento de Química da Universidade de São Paulo, além de apresentar trabalho no primeiro congresso brasileiro de genética e citologia na 1ª Semana de Genética, realizada em Piracicaba.

Krug foi um dos fundadores da revista Ciência e Cultura, criada em 1949 pela Sociedade Brasileira para o Progresso da Ciência (SBPC). Em 1949, tornou-se diretor do Instituto Agronômico de Campinas e no ano seguinte instituiu uma Programaçáo Anual de Pesquisas e dos Trabalhos Experimentais além de comissões técnicas para organizar a programação técnico-científica da instituição. Foi sob sua gestão que começaram as pesquisas sobre agrometeorologia, em 1950.

Neste mesmo ano, em visita à Fundação Rockefeller, Krug conheceu o Laboratório de Climatologia Agrícola, em Seabrook, Nova Jérsei, onde ficou impressionado com as pesquisas do climatologia Charles Warren Thornthwaite (1899-1963). Krug o convidou para assessorá-lo na criação de uma seção de climatologia agrícola no Instituto Agronômico de Campinas. O convite foi aceito, mas não se concretizou. Em seu lugar, foi convidado o climatologista alemão Rudolf Schroeder. Krug foi pioneiro na criação de uma seção de climatologia agrícola no instituto.

Em sua gestão, em 1953, o instituto recebeu as primeiras mudas de café com resistência ao agente da ferrugem (Hemileia vastatrix), vindas dos Estados Unidos. Por segurança as mudas permaneceram, além do período de quarentena no país de origem, quarentenadas por mais de um ano na sede do instituto, e foram liberadas posteriormente para plantio apenas em Campinas. Além do café e do milho, Krug trabalhou com melhoramento de outras culturas, como batata, feijão, trigo e mamona. Trabalhou com Sydney Harland (1891-1982) no melhoramento do algodão.

FAO
Em 1955, Krug foi convidado pela Organização das Nações Unidas para a Alimentação e a Agricultura para uma missão econômica na Tunísia e depois no Vietnã. Bem-sucedido nestas missões, a FAO o convidou para trabalhar na seção de espécies tropicais, em Roma, onde permaneceu por vários anos. Depois foi indicado para trabalhar no escritório da FAO para América Latina, no Rio de Janeiro, onde permaneceu até se aposentar. Publicou vários trabalhos direcionados à melhoria da agricultura tropical, com o objetivo de melhorar e incrementar a produção de alimentos em países em desenvolvimento.

Seu trabalho o levou a várias regiões produtoras de café pelo mundo, o que levou à publicação do livro World Coffee Survey em 1968, com co-autoria de R. A. de Poerck. Foi autor de boletins técnicos do Instituto Agronômico de Campinas e publicou artigos em diversos periódicos especializados nacionais e estrangeiros como Revista do Instituto do Café, Revista de Agricultura, Nature, Journal of Genetics, Journal of Heredity, e Der Züchter.

Krug foi um dos fundadores e primeiro vice-presidente da Sociedade Brasileira de Genética, em 1955 e a partir de 1966 tornou-se membro do conselho. Foi diplomado pela Escola Superior de Guerra, na turma de 1967, e em 1969 foi responsável pela criaçáo da Representação da Associação de Diplomados da Escola Superior de Guerra (ADESG) na cidade de Campinas.

Em 1960, recebeu o título de Doutor honoris-causa pela Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz" da Universidade de São Paulo. No mesmo ano, recebeu a Honra do  Mérito Agrícola concedido pelo Instituto Interamericano de Cooperação para a Agricultura, da Costa Rica, por serviços prestados à América Latina. Em 1962, recebeu a Medalla Agrícola Interamericana da mesma instituição.

Morte
Krug morreu em 6 de fevereiro de 1973, em Campinas, aos 66 anos.

Homenagem
A rua Carlos Arnaldo Krug, no Jardim Eulina, em Campinas, é em sua homenagem.

Amphibians and Reptiles of South Dakota
Frogs and Toads
Submit Observation
Northern Leopard Frog (Rana pipiens)
Northern Leopard Frog Rana pipiens
Family: Ranidae
Adult Description: The Northern Leopard Frog is similar in appearance to the Plains Leopard Frog. Adults often measure 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) in length. Adult Northern Leopard Frogs have a variable background color that can be brown or green and is covered in numerous large, dark, circular blotches. A prominent white dorsolateral fold is continuous from the eye down to the hind legs. The ventral coloration is solid white. Adult males have an enlarged first digit on their forelimbs that is used to help grasp females when they are breeding. Northern Leopard Frogs can easily be differentiated from Plains Leopard Frogs by the presence of unbroken dorsolateral folds (Plains Leopard Frogs have broken dorsolateral folds).
Color Variants: Two additional pattern variants of Northern Leopard Frogs exist in eastern South Dakota: spotless (termed Burnsi) and mottled (termed Kandiyohi). Burnsi phase Northern Leopard Frogs lack the spots characteristic of most individuals and can be solid brown or green in color. Kandiyohi phase Northern Leopard Frogs have dark mottling across their backs and sides.
Larval Description: Tadpoles are usually greenish to brownish in coloration with few, faint dark markings. These tadpoles are robust in size, reaching lengths of 2 inches (5 cm). The intestinal coil is visible through the venter. Tadpoles of this species are difficult to discern from Plains Leopard Frog tadpoles but can be easily differentiated from American Bullfrog tadpoles, which have a mottled venter and are covered in small black marks.
Call Description: Male Northern Leopard Frogs have a call that consists of a drawn-out rattling snore that lasts three or more seconds followed by several grunts or chuckles. The call often starts off soft then grows louder.
Call Example: Northern Leopard Frog call (Minnehaha County)
Habitat: Northern Leopard Frogs can be found at most aquatic habitats that occur in their range, including dugout ponds, wetlands, reservoirs, and oxbow lakes. Individuals are primarily found at these aquatic sites, but during wet, humid nights individuals can disperse into upland habitats.
Natural History: Adults are primarily nocturnal and will consume a wide variety of invertebrates. During the day, individuals are often found along the shore in vegetation. When startled, individuals will jump into the water and often remain submerged for several minutes. During winter months, adults and juveniles bury into the mud at the bottom of deep aquatic habitats to avoid freezing. Northern Leopard Frogs primarily breed from mid-May through June in South Dakota. Often in mixed species choruses, calls from other species such as the Boreal Chorus Frog make it difficult to hear the softer calls of the Northern Leopard Frog. Females lay up to 6,000 eggs in several large clumps often attached to vegetation. Eggs hatch in 14 days and tadpoles typically undergo metamorphosis in late July and August.
Species Distribution: Northern Leopard Frogs have a large distribution across much of the northern United States and Canada, including New England and the Great Lakes region, the upper Midwest, and the Rocky Mountains south to New Mexico.
South Dakota Distribution: The Northern Leopard Frog can be found throughout South Dakota.
South Dakota Status: This species is not monitored by South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks.
Remarks: All leopard frogs were considered the same species until the 1970s, after which four species were recognized, including the two species recognized in South Dakota: the Plains Leopard Frog (Rana blairi) and the Northern Leopard Frog (Rana pipiens).

Local Opposition Continues to Delay Pepco-Exelon Merger
The District of Columbia's mayor says the current proposal fails to protect against rate increases for District residents and assistance for low-income rate payers.
Scott Stuart
Mar 3, 2016 8:42 AM EST
Opposition continues to the $6.8 billion merger of Pepco Holdings (POM) with Exelon(EXC) - Get Report , throwing into question whether a settlement with District of Columbia regulators will move the transaction forward. Approval of the D.C. Public Service Commission is the remaining hurdle for the merger.
Opposition to a settlement agreement that last week appeared to be sufficient for the deal to move forward has thrown the two-year old merger on its heels, at least for the moment.
A 2-1 PSC decision last week in favor of terms to allow the transaction has been rejected by local officials, including the District's mayor. If the parties do not come to terms over the PSC-approved settlement the matter is reopened as of March 11. The D.C. government is one of the parties that must agree to the terms of a PSC approval.
The deal spread has widened on the approval uncertainty to $4.10, or 17.7%, for the all-cash, $27.25 a share transaction.
Exelon said it is having "conversations with the D.C. government and other settling parties about the commission's order and the new provisions. The discussions are ongoing, and [Exelon] will provide an update at the appropriate time."
The merger agreement calls for a $180 million termination fee if Exelon cannot gain regulatory approval for the deal, but that fee was paid into Pepco preferred shares that Pepco can call in if the transaction fails. So in a sense Exelon has already paid out the termination fee.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said Tuesday the PSC rejected an agreement that had the support of various parties including the People's Counsel of the District of Columbia and D.C. attorney general, and that the current PSC proposal fails to protect against rate increases for District residents and assistance for low-income rate payers.
The value of the revisions required to get the deal past the mayor may not be insurmountable, a risk arbitrageur said. The alternative proposal would include $30 million in credits. The current proposals could just expire and the companies would present some revision after March 11, the arb said. But the review process could then drag on.
The key issue between the PSC and parties that are not signing on to the commission's approval of last week is the application of credits that D.C. political parties want to see go to residential customers. The current PSC plan would allow the regulator to apply such rate relief to either residential or commercial customers down the line.
This issue does not seem to be a huge gulf for the deal review.
Some arbs are likely considering the recent block of the Cleco (CNL) merger with Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets and opposition in Hawaii to the Hawaiian Electric Co.(HE) - Get Report merger with NextEra Energy(NEE) - Get Report when assessing the current regulatory risk of any utility-related transaction.

Appreciation of Great Achievements and Inspiration of Striving Force | The Party Committee of Gitane leads Party members and cadres to visit the theme achievement exhibition of "Striving for a New Era
In the afternoon of November 12, the Party Committee of Gitane Company led its party members and cadres to visit the Beijing Exhibition Hall to study the thematic achievement exhibition of "Entering a New Era", to gain a deep understanding of the great achievements made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, which united and led the whole party and all nationalities to be confident and self-improvement, keep the righteousness and innovation, excel and move forward courageously, and made a remarkable achievement in history and the world. We will draw on the rich wisdom and power of advancement from this great achievement.
The whole exhibition focused on the great achievements and historical changes of the cause of the Party and the country in the past decade in the new era. Six exhibition areas used more than 6000 exhibition elements, such as pictures, objects and models, to demonstrate the great achievements of our country in keeping our original mission in mind and constantly striving for development from many aspects, such as science and education, poverty alleviation, national defense and diplomacy, and to interpret the extraordinary development achievements of the decade.
From time to time, everyone stopped to watch, listen to explanations, ask about relevant information and communicate with each other. All the way, they visited six exhibition areas, including the lobby, the central comprehensive exhibition area, the local exhibition area, the outlook exhibition area, the outdoor exhibition area and the interactive exhibition area. From physical models, vivid videos, pictures and charts, we deeply felt the brilliant achievements of our motherland and had a strong resonance.
In the exhibition, "Qian'an Iron and Steel Company of Shougang Co., Ltd., a Class A enterprise with ultra-low emissions", "Jingtang Company of Offshore Steel City", "Shougang Section of Yongding River", "Shougang Skiing Platform", "the opening ceremony of China Finland Winter Sports Year was held in Shougang Hockey Club" and other photos and images showing Shougang elements attracted everyone's attention. The visiting party members and leading cadres stopped to watch carefully and were very proud of the achievements made by Shougang under the leadership of the Party.
We all agree that in the past decade of the new era, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, China has taken a series of strategic initiatives, promoted a series of transformative practices, achieved a series of breakthroughs and made a series of landmark achievements. These remarkable achievements provide the most vivid real-life evidence of the superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and the most vivid practical portrayal of socialist modernisation.
The great achievements of the new era were made by the Party and the people through hard work, dedication and struggle. The theme of the exhibition is clear, inspiring and motivating. As Shougang Jitaian people, we should fully implement Xi Jinping's socialist thought of a new era with Chinese characteristics, unswervingly study, propagate and implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, do our work with a more vigorous spirit and enterprising attitude, and strive to create new and better achievements on the new road of catching up. We will strive to create new and better achievements on the new road.
