The Norilsk Mining and Smelting Plant (MSP) over half a century has been a source of pollution of the environment in the Arctic regions.
The development of sulphidic platinoid-cupronickel deposits always involves high ecological hazard, but the greatest harm is caused by sulfur dioxide (SO2), which is formed in ore processing.
The high damage levels today impede further development of production.
Therefore in years to come the efforts of metallurgists will be directed to the development and introduction of technologies that make it possible to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide. This was the subject of the interview given by the Member of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences, director of the Institute of Metallurgy of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician Leopold Leontiev to our correspondent Yevgeniya Sidorova.
- Leopold Igorevich, for a long time you have been engaged in the development of the technologies that reduce negative impact of the metallurgical enterprises on the environment, and you are an authority in this field. At present you make efforts for solving the nature conservancy problems of the Norilsk MSP. What are the basic indicators that evidently testifies to the gravity of the ecological problem resulting from its activity?
* See: "Norilsk Project", Science in Russia, No. 4, 2005. -Ed.
Plume of combustion gas over Norilsk.
Regional Hydrometeorological Research Institute, etc. The An-30 airplane-laboratory also was involved in this work. Everything - the state of atmosphere, soil, water and vegetation - was estimated in detail. It appeared that the industrial dust covering the significant areas contains increased amounts of heavy metals, such as nickel, copper, lead. But the greatest problem is emission of sulfur dioxide. A quarter of Russian industrial emissions of SO2 accounts for the integrated iron-and-steel works working here. But it is only a restricted territory that suffers from these emissions. It is a blessing that the lands in the Arctic Circle are poorly populated. The copper and nickel plants are located on the opposite outskirts of Norilsk, and whatever the direction of the wind may be, the town is covered with a plume of emanating chimney gases.
The studies have revealed: the contours of lands with a higher sulfur level and damaged forests have here similar configuration. The scientists singled out several levels of pollution inside the exposed territory. Thus, in the southern and southeastern parts of the industrial center (with prevalence of the north-eastern wind) the wood vegetation was lost completely within the 70-kilometer zone. The sulfur content in plants exceeds the ambient level 3 - 4 times, the nickel content, 18 - 26 times, the copper content, 4 - 9.5 times. There have been detected the plots with the ambient level for copper exceeding 17 - 156 times, and for nickel, 31 - 470 times.
And only at a distance over 70 km from the town the rate of dead trunks in the wood stage decreases and there appears the cedar sensitive to technogenic impact. Further down to the mark of 80 - 100km, the features peculiar to the given bioclimatic zone become evident: dead trees comprise about 50 percent, the undergrowth and moss-grassy vegetation are not suppressed.
The scientists register a zone of weak pollution at a distance of 100 - 140 km from Norilsk. There the sulfur content in plants exceeds background indicators 1.2 - 1.7 times, nickel, 1.5 - 2.7 times, copper, 1.3 times. The rate of dead trees makes up only about 14 percent, the fur-tree and the birch-tree grow up, occasionally the larch, but strongly suppressed, can be found. The fur-tree feels better, and the birch-tree is the most resistant to the pressing of industrial discharges.
There is no degradation of vegetation at a distance over 200 km from Norilsk.
- As it follows from the scientific publications, acidity of atmospheric precipitation within the limits of the Norilsk region due to the high content of sulfur dioxide in atmosphere makes up 3.1 - 3.2 units of pH, which is destructive for plants. But, probably, the situation can be changed in future? Indeed, if the "removal" of heavy metals and the sulfur accumulated in the Taimyr soils for the years of the MSP operation, is a very difficult task today, then may be reduction of the "current" contamination of the atmosphere can be achieved?
-There are two ways for solving the problem: to enhance utilization of sulfur in exhaust gases and to learn to separate the maximum possible amounts of a sulfur-containing component of ore at the phase of its preliminary enrichment, i.e. before pyrogenic effect. So far, the first variant is used at the Norilsk MSP.

measure this circumstance also prevents sale of elementary sulfur, which is obtained through the processing of sulfur dioxide, carried out by citizens of Norilsk now in view of urgent ecological problems.
By the way, this method is applied nowhere in the world, as it is very expensive, and its product is practically out of demand. Adding of sulfur as a filling agent in asphalt, its use in rubber vulcanization or for obtaining the same sulfuric acid involves significant expenses for transportation to the prospective consumer. As a result, the appropriate program of the Norilsk MSP contemplates construction of a warehouse with a capacity of 7 mm tons for long-term storage of the product, unnecessary at present.
Nowadays, elementary sulfur is obtained at the Norilsk Copper Works from sulfur dioxide by reducing the latter with the help of methane at a temperature of 1,250 - 1,300 C. Then the partially reduced portion of gas that contains hydrogen sulphide is processed by the so-called Claus method. Such method of obtaining sulfur has been developed by the Institute of Nonferrous Metals (Moscow), G. Boreskov Institute of Catalysis, the RAS Siberian Branch (Novosibirsk) and the Norilsk MSP. This technology ensures utilization of exhaust gases at a gas flow rate of 40,000 m3 per hour and 20 - 25 percent content of SO2. The total volume of production of elementary sulfur should make up 80,000 tons per year, the rate of its extraction from sulfur dioxide being 85 percent. But since processing by the Claus method is carried out in one phase, the real index is equal to 60 - 65 percent. Meanwhile, according to estimates, if the second phase of the Clause method is applied (which, by the way, is stipulated by the project) and the Sulphren type sanitary cleaning is used (successfully employed at the Astrakhan Gas-Processing Plant) not less than 99 percent of sulfur can be extracted. This method, however, is very expensive.
Today Russian scientists suggest reducing sulfur dioxide down to elementary sulfur by means of coal, not by methane. In this case both the reaction rate and the rate of extraction of sulfur, comprising approximately 98 percent, will be essentially higher than in the case of natural gas, and the cost of the process, considerably lower. True, it is necessary to develop technology and equipment, which will guarantee fire safety of the process. But the introduction of crushed coal into the zone of high temperatures of open-hearth, blast and electric furnaces in the ferrous metallurgy is a common practice. At our Institute even a small enterprise was set up, which develops and introduces devices for injection of coal-dust fuel into various metallurgical aggregates. They are successfully used at many domestic plants*.
- You have mentioned the separation of the sulfur-containing phase of the Norilsk ore at the stage of preliminary enrichment. Is it connected with any problems?
* See: L. Leontiev et al., "Akademichesky Center of Innovative Technologies", Science in Russia, No. 2, 2003. - Ed.

ic separation), especially if its particles ingrained in the ore are big enough. As a result, the technology of enrichment is considerably facilitated, and losses of valuable ingredients are minimal, as a small amount of non-ferrous and precious metals is associated with the monoclinic form of the mineral. Unfortunately, the basic part of copper, nickel and cobalt, on the contrary, is concentrated in the Norilsk hexagonal pyrrhotine, which threatens with serious losses in the process of "cutting off" the sulfur-containing ingredient at the stage of pre-treatment of the ore. In addition, fine impregnations of sulphides is characteristic of our deposit.
As pyrrhotine in copper-nickel ores is a predominant mineral, the rate of its "removal" during the process of enrichment has an essential effect on the quality of obtained concentrates and on indexes of their subsequent processing. Currently, the pyrometallurgy is still the only tangible process, which ensures full extraction of precious metals.
- Are there alternative approaches to separation of pyrrhotine?
- Only the so-called hydrometallurgical methods can help in this context. Their technologies are well mastered abroad: for processing of copper-nickel sulphidic ores, concentrates and products of metallurgical productions, recourse is made to lixiviation in ammoniac, sulfuric acid, chloride and nitrogen-sulfuric-acid media. The majority of the plants, which operate according to this pattern, meet the present-day requirements to the environmental safety, though each method has its negative aspects.
Say, the defect of the ammoniac lixiviation used at the Canadian plant Fort-Saskatchewan and Australian Kwinana is low extraction of cobalt and platinum metals. The method is unacceptable for raw materials with these valuable ingredients.
Lixiviation in sulfuric acid media, a gaseous oxidizer being also involved, is widely used for processing of copper-nickel and nickel-cobalt concentrates and semi-products. For example, Finnish metallurgical company "Outokumpu" has introduced the HIKO-process, which includes sulfuric-acid lixiviation in autoclave, cleaning from admixtures, extraction separation of nickel and obtaining of its various salts. All this ensures a high rate and completeness of extraction of metals. At the Finnish enterprise in the town of Harjavalta and at South-African plants the sulfur contained in the raw material is converted into sulphate of ammonium. It can also be converted into the elementary form, as in Norilsk.
Hotmelts of sulfides of metal compounds are recycled by lixiviation in chloride media at the plants of several foreign companies (Canadian "Falkonbridge", Japanese "Sumitomo", French "Eramette"). Advantages of the method are high intensity of the process without using autoclaves, the possibility of regeneration of the basic reagents-chlorine gas or chlorides of copper and iron and a high rate of electroextraction of nickel. But its disadvantages are high aggressiveness of chloride solutions, which requires application of expensive corrosion-resistant materials.

sulfur and to conserve practically completely precious ingredients. Besides, loading of pyrometallurgical capacities and discharge of sulfur dioxide will decrease by 40 - 45 percent. The method is also good as it allows to use the existing equipment to a considerable extent. Currently, the developers need only to carry out additional kinetic studies and trial tests.
- It is well-known that the MS and OAO "Norilsk Nickel" are developing a scientific and technical program, meant to provide step-by-step decrease in discharges of sulfur dioxide down to the maximum permissible level. Will you be so kind as to tell us about this cooperation.
-Director General of OAO Norilsk Nickel Mikhail Prokhorov has appealed to the RAS to discuss this subject at the Presidium and to work out a program for solving ecological problems. It was resolved in the Company that the plant science cannot cope with fundamental studies*.
Currently, a lot of Russian (not only academic) institutes have made unique proposals on solving various MSP technological problems. I have already dealt on the technology of use of carbon for reduction of sulfur dioxide and hydrometallurgical method of processing of pyrrhotine-containing raw materials. One more interesting proposal is a transformation of pyrrhotine to troilite (FeS) and extraction from it valuable ingredients to the metal phase. The melted troilite phase in very limited quantities will dissolve nickel, copper and precious metals, thus permitting their separation from the sulfur-containing ingredient. Such process is real in the existing aggregates, but it requires creation of new technology, which is now at the laboratory stage of development.
Domestic scientists offer also methods of overcoming the ecological crisis, which make it possible to preserve the existing process patterns. One of them is a burial of sulfur dioxide with the use of natural cold. In fact in the pure state it is liquefied already at the temperature of - 10 C. For disposal of gas we can choose limy breeds, where sulfur dioxide in due course will be bound in other, harmless compounds. This approach, however, requires an analysis of the hypothetical situation, arising in the process of thawing of the permafrost as a result of predicted global warming**. We also consider the possibility of disposal of sulfur in the cavities of rocks depleted long time ago. It is expected that in this way 90 percent of this substance can be utilized.
Certainly, I have mentioned only a part of the proposals of our experts. The aim of the program, which is being developed by the Russian Academy of Sciences together with MSP Norilsk Nickel is to reveal the most original ideas. Now metallurgists and chemists are mainly involved in studies, but we are eager to attract also physicists, as they can suggest their approaches to the transformation of sulfur dioxide into more harmless production.
- But it will take some time before the program will be developed and accomplished. What is being done nowadays to decrease ecological load on the inhabitants of Norilsk?
- So far the problems of utilization of sulfur dioxides and sulfur have not been finally solved. Specialists are studying, for example, the possibility of discharging metallurgical gases from autogenous smelting furnaces through a gas pipeline beyond the residential area.
The plans of OAO Norilsk Nickel MSP envisage large-scale modernization of production of OAO Kola MSP, involving the introduction of technology of ore concentrate preparation without its sintering and a new technology of autogenous smelting, as a result of which essential reduction of discharges into the atmosphere is expected.
The total amount of investment expenses for nature protection measures in 2005 - 2015 will make up, according to the plans of the Norilsk Nickel MSP, over 30 bin rubles.

Celebs (or those that think they're celebs) Here's a hint my darlings: If you think you're too good for me, I have no problem agreeing with you. Moving along! Personally, I follow few celebrities online. Those I do follow have something to offer, usually in fabulous fan interaction. There are plenty of individuals on social media who act like celebrities and would love the hero worship dealt to celebrities. Good luck with that.

You said it all, sistaaaa!
Yep…no time for creeps and trolls!
It's better to just move along. There are so many great people out there that we don't have time to get caught up in their crazy games. Carry on, my friend!


One of the best things I ever did for my creative life was to make a commitment to daily practice.
People who have taken this program have gone on to create new bodies of work, win awards at art shows they never thought they'd enter, complete full manuscripts of books they'd long wanted to write, start an art teaching career, and more.
Access to a private Facebook forum of fellow artists, cheerleading and support from me and others, weekly facilitated discussions about creativity, and the opportunity to include your works in an online exhibition curated by me at the end of the program.
There are three main "rules" – 1) that everyone makes one complete piece of creative work per day for 48 days straight, and 2) that the creative process for that work take a minimum of 25 minutes. (This 25 minutes doesn't include uploading, printing, cleaning up or other things related to the creative process. It should be solely dedicated to the act of making), and 3) all works will be shared – without apology or complaint! – to our loving, private Facebook forum.
What types of artwork can be made in the program?
All sorts of works! Drawings, paintings, short stories, digital collages, songwriting, choreographed dance, mini-quilts, etc. For ceramic artists, we'll accept that one fully formed clay piece a day, regardless of being fired and glazed, will be considered complete. For writers in longer form mediums like books or screenplays, we'll ask for a piece that has a beginning, middle and end such as a completed scene or chapter. Photographers will have to consider the 25 minute "rule" and adjust accordingly. This may mean setting up a still life, or creating a thematic body of work per day, or perhaps extensive editing.
What if I'm afraid to share my work?
In my experience running several of these groups, the people involved are incredibly supportive and caring. There is NO critique of the work, only sharing out of joy and camaraderie.
What if I've never made any art before?
Then this program is PERFECT for you. It's the ultimate safe space to be accountable to the process and share your work in a loving, non-judgmental environment.
What if I skip a day?
Of course I urge people not to skip days, but if it happens you can either double up the next day, add a day to the end of the program, or forgive yourself and move on.
Who will be in this program with me?
You can expect a wonderful, diverse group of people of varying race, gender, religious and political affiliations and any other way a person can be beautifully unique. Please note: criticism, written or otherwise, of any race, religion, gender, or political affiliation will not be tolerated in the program.

STA joining two new EU-funded development projects this year
Monday, January 2 2023 | 14:12
Ljubljana, 2 January - The Slovenian Press Agency (STA) is joining two European projects funded as part of the Horizon Europe programme this year. The OMINO project deals with information overload and the TWON project focuses on the mechanisms used by social networks.
The lead partner in the TWON project, exploring how the selection of certain mechanism of social networks affects the entire system, is the University of Amsterdam.
The project aims to develop new empirical methods to study these mechanism based on a kind of duplicates of social networks to determine what kind of mechanisms can be developed to reduce the negative effects of social networks on democratic discourse on profit making platforms.
The EUR 3 million project includes another partner from Slovenia, the Jožef Stefan Institute, three partners from Germany, including the Robert Koch Institute, and the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory of the University in Belgrade.
The OMINO project, which will be carried out by a consortium led by the Warsaw University of Technology, will receive EUR 1.3 million in EU funding and will include an exchange of researchers as part of the Marie Sklodowska Curie programme.
The STA will in cooperation with partners foremost develop models and tools to process the information appropriate for media industry.
The consortium includes the Wroclaw University of Technology, Modul University Vienna, the Bar Ilan and Technion universities in Israel and the Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences (GESIS) in Germany. Associate partners include the Vienna-based company APA IT, the University of Notre Dame in the USA and the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
The STA has been developing new media technologies for more than a decade. "We started systematically working on research and development more than ten years ago and the success with these two tenders is proof that we are on the right track," said Naum Dretnik, head of the digital strategy group at the STA.

Q: Bootstrap full-width text-input within inline-form I am struggling to create a textbox that fits the entire width of my container area.

        <form class="form-inline" role="form">
                <input type="text" class="form-control input-lg" id="search-church" placeholder="Your location (City, State, ZIP)">
                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-lg">Search</button>
        </form>

When I do the above, the two form elements are in-line, as I expect, but don't take up more than a few columns, at best. Hovering over the col-md-12 div in firebug shows it taking up the expected full width. It's just the text input that doesn't seem to fill. I even tried adding an in-line width value but it didn't change anything. I know this should be simple, just feeling really dumb now.
Here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/52VtD/4119/embedded/result/
EDIT:
The selected answer is thorough in every way and a wonderful help. It's what I ended up using. However I think my initial issue was actually a problem with the default MVC5 template within Visual Studio 2013. It contained this in Site.css:
input,
select,
textarea {
    max-width: 280px;
}

Obviously that was blocking the text-input from expanding appropriately... Fair warning to future ASP.NET template users...

A:
Try something like below to achieve your desired result

input {
    max-width: 100%;
}

A: have a look at something like this:
<form role="form">

            <input type="text" class="form-control" />

            <button type="submit" class="btn">Search</button>

</form>

http://jsfiddle.net/n6c7v/1/

A: You can use flex-fill class for input

    <form class="form-inline" role="form">
            <input type="text" class="form-control input-lg flex-fill" id="search-church" placeholder="Your location (City, State, ZIP)">
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-lg">Search</button>
    </form>

A: The bootstrap docs says about this:

Requires custom widths Inputs, selects, and textareas are 100% wide by
  default in Bootstrap. To use the inline form, you'll have to set a
  width on the form controls used within.

The default width of 100% as all form elements gets when they got the class form-control didn't apply if you use the form-inline class on your form.
You could take a look at the bootstrap.css (or .less, whatever you prefer) where you will find this part:
.form-inline {

  // Kick in the inline
  @media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) {
    // Inline-block all the things for "inline"
    .form-group {
      display: inline-block;
      margin-bottom: 0;
      vertical-align: middle;
    }

    // In navbar-form, allow folks to *not* use `.form-group`
    .form-control {
      display: inline-block;
      width: auto; // Prevent labels from stacking above inputs in `.form-group`
      vertical-align: middle;
    }
    // Input groups need that 100% width though
    .input-group > .form-control {
      width: 100%;
    }

    [...]
  }
}

Maybe you should take a look at input-groups, since I guess they have exactly the markup you want to use (working fiddle here):

      <input type="text" class="form-control input-lg" id="search-church" placeholder="Your location (City, State, ZIP)">

        <button class="btn btn-default btn-lg" type="submit">Search</button>

A: As stated in a similar question, try removing instances of the input-group class and see if that helps.
refering to bootstrap:

Individual form controls automatically receive some global styling.
  All textual , , and  elements with
  .form-control are set to width: 100%; by default. Wrap labels and
  controls in .form-group for optimum spacing.

A: With Bootstrap >4.1 it's just a case of using the flexbox utility classes. Just have a flexbox container inside your column, and then give all the elements within it the "flex-fill" class. As with inline forms you'll need to set the margins/padding on the elements yourself.

.prop-label {
    margin: .25rem 0 !important;
}

.prop-field {
    margin-left: 1rem;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

   Label:
   <input type="text" class="flex-fill form-control prop-field">

A: I know that this question is pretty old, but I stumbled upon it recently, found a solution that I liked better, and figured I'd share it.
Now that Bootstrap 5 is available, there's a new approach that works similarly to using input-groups, but looks more like an ordinary form, without any CSS tweaks:

Save the date: on 15th and 16th March will take place the third weekend of the EDU@LabGov Urban Clinic in Luiss Guido Carli University!
Friday 15th March from 16pm to 18pm in the Luiss Campus, we will host a lecture of professor Christian Iaione about Urban Law and Policy, and we will hear the testimony of lawyer Nico Maravia from law firm Pavia & Ansaldo and of the dr. Paola Marzi from the Municipality of Rome, who will speak about the Regulation on the urban gardens that she wrote for the Municipality of Rome.
Saturday 16th march from 10am to 17pm, will be held the third session of co-working. It will be divided into two part. First, we will hear Pasquale Tedesco's experience: he is an expert in environmental sustainability, sustainable and synergic agriculture and in the field of urban and social gardens. In the second part of co-working the EDU LabGov team, thanks to the guide of Chiara De Angelis and Daniela Patti, we will speak about the process of design focusing on the user journey maps. In this way, the LabGovers will analyze all the passages of their project, they will answer to the needs of the 'personas' (the users object of their project) and they will define the various sections and the categories of contents of the platform that they are developing.
The next meetings are very important in order to complete and improve the idea that it is taking form more and more.


This is an attractive, 6-18 in. plant with foot-wide, basal clumps of ferny, blue-green, hairy leaves and reddish-purple, bell-shaped flowers that hang in groups of three. Clumps of feathery, plumed, pink-gray fruits stay on the plant much of the summer. The leaves of prairie smoke turn deep red in fall and are sometimes evergreen.
After fertilization, the bell-like flowers turn upward and plumes begin to grow from the pistils, ready to be caught by the wind or a passing animal and the seed so dispersed.
Soil Description: Thin soil over limestone.
Conditions Comments: Mature plants frequently form dense mats creating an attractive ground cover. In addition to the soil preference listed, prairie smoke is known to occur on rich prairie loams, clay and sand.
Description: Prairie smoke can be grown from seeds or from divisions. Rhizome cuttings or divisions of mature plants should be done in late summer or early spring.
Seed Collection: Collect seeds in late spring or early summer.
Seed Treatment: No pretreatment is necessary though stratification increases the germination rate.

A Book and a Chat with Stephen Langford
My guest on today's "A Book and a Chat" is Stephen Langford, who along with co-author Dr David Fett is the creator of the great new bioterrorist thriller "White Sleeper".
Stephen is a TV and movie writer and producer of more than 150 hours of prime time television. His credits include "Family Matters," "Malcolm and Eddie," and the movie "Lovewrecked," for which he was screenwriter.
Dr. David Fett is an ophthalmic plastic surgeon specializing in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery around the eye, such as removing skin cancers around the eye, fixing children born with drooped lids, accidents, etc. He holds a BS degree in applied biochemistry, an MS degree in toxicology from MIT and received his MD from Dartmouth Medical School. Fett has published numerous articles on medical topics; White Sleeper is his first work of fiction.
The two of them came together some years ago with the idea to write a thriller in the both being fans of the biological terror novels of Michael Crichton ("The Andromeda Strain") and Robin Cook ("Coma"), so it was natural for them to conceive a novel in a similar vein. The fact that their book is now talked about at the same level as those of Crichton and Cook shows that they have indeed created a novel that many are enjoying.
About "White Sleeper":
Osama bin Laden may be gone, but threats of terrorist attacks on the United States still remain a frightening possibility. Among the scariest scenarios is an attack using toxic biological agents, which could cause untold number of deaths throughout this country.
When Arkansas experiences a wave of rare, fatal diseases, the CDC calls in Dave Richards, a doctor with a shady past, to investigate. Richards sees this as an opportunity to clear his reputation and save his career. He joins with FBI agent Paula Mushari to investigate the seeming plague. When they think they've found the person responsible for the bioterrorism, the find themselves drawn deeper into a sinister pact between a white supremacist and a vengeful terrorist sect, each bent on causing mass destruction on the American populace. Richards and Mushari must race against the clock – and their own personal issues – to prevent a catastrophic plague from breaking out.
What critics and readers are saying about White Sleeper:"
I found this book hard to put down, and I loved the action and the interaction between Dave and Paul. The story is believable, and the writing is great. If you're a fan of Robin Cook, then you'll enjoy this newcomer." Asthepageturns.blogspot.com.
"White Sleeper is a lightning-fast-paced story about two characters trying to stop a homegrown terrorist from unleashing a deadly virus on American citizens. Those who are looking for a straightforward action story about deadly viruses won't be disappointed." Prettyopinionated.com
So listen to an interesting and hugely entertaining show as I spend thirty minutes sharing "A Book and a Chat with Stephen Langford".

Bank of America: Key Acquisitions
Bank of America Corp. (BAC), also known as Bank of America and BofA, is an American multinational investment bank and financial services holding company. It is the second-largest banking institution in the United States and services individuals, small and midsize businesses, corporations, and governments.
Bank of America's areas of banking includes investment management, financial management, risk management, investment banking, wealth management, and commercial banking.
Bank of America's Merrill Lynch Acquisition
Bank of America's acquisition of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. in 2008 saved the latter from bankruptcy. It also made BofA the world's largest financial services company, the leading underwriter of global high-yield debt, the number three largest underwriter of global equity, and the ninth biggest adviser on global mergers and acquisitions. While the deal was originally valued at $50B, Bank of America shares dropped soon after the merger closed and the final price ended up being around $29.1B.
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith became two Bank of America divisions: Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML), now BofA Securities, and Merrill Lynch, now Merrill.
BofA Securities, which is Bank of America's multinational investment banking division, offers services related to mergers, acquisitions, lending, equity and debt capital markets, risk management, trading, liquidity and payments management, and research.
Merrill, which is Bank of America's investing and wealth management division, is headquartered in Manhattan. With over 14,000 financial advisors, Merrill oversees $2.3 trillion in client assets. It also runs the electronic trading platform, Merrill Edge.
Our experienced investment fraud attorneys at Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (SSEK Law Firm at investorlawyer.com) represent investors who have suffered losses because of the negligence or misconduct of a BofA Securities, Merrill Lynch, or another Bank of America broker or financial advisor.

Bank of America Has Been Subject to Many Investigations in Recent Years
Since the 2008 financial crisis, Bank of America has been the subject of numerous investigations, lawsuits, and controversies. Here are several of them:
2009: After receiving $45B in bailout funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), and possibly another $5.2B in government bailout money by way of American International Group (AIG), Bank of America paid back the $45B and left the program. This occurred following concerns by US lawmakers about how program recipients were spending the funds.
2009: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fined Bank of America $33M over an agreement to pay up to $5.8M in Merrill bonuses, which shareholders weren't told about while deciding whether to approve the acquisition. Some $3.6B in these bonuses were paid, including a $33M bonus to at least one individual. Several weeks after the Commission announced its fine, a federal judge approved a revised version of the settlement that raised the fine to $150M.
2010: Bank of America paid $137.7M, including $25M, to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to settle municipal bond fraud allegations. The US government had accused BofA of defrauding hospitals, schools, and state and local government organizations.
2012: A class action securities fraud lawsuit accused the bank of not telling shareholders about key information regarding the Merrill acquisition before the merger vote was settled for $2.4B.
2014: To settle allegations that it sold toxic subprime loans and other mortgage-linked securities, Bank of America agreed to a nearly $17B settlement with the US Justice Department. This included paying $7B to municipalities, pension funds, homeowners, and borrowers that lost money because of faulty loans.
2014: Bank of America agreed to pay $6.3B to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae over mortgage fraud claims accusing Countrywide, which the bank acquired in 2008, of approving mortgage loans to risky borrowers while making taxpayers guarantee billions of dollars in bad loans. BofA also agreed to repurchase $3.2M of mortgage bonds from Fannie and Freddie.
Other Key Acquisitions Made by Bank of America Since 2000
In addition to acquiring Merrill Lynch in 2008, Bank of America has also acquired several financial institutions and registered broker-dealers. Below, is a list of some of the key acquisitions made by Bank of America in the last two decades.
2004: FleetBoston Financial, then the seventh-largest bank in the US, for $47B.
2005: Credit card giant MBNA for $35B (now FIA Card Services), making BofA a leading foreign and domestic credit card issuer
2006: United States Trust Company for $3.3B from Charles Schwab Corp.
2007: LaSalle Bank Corporation from ABN AMRO for $21 billion.
2008: Countrywide Financial (now Bank of America Home Loans) for $4.1B

Eye For An Eye is a drama about a murder in Los Angeles involving a seventeen year old girl, Julie McCann, and her mothers determination to see the killer pay for what he has done. Karen McCann is about to have a birthday party for, Megan, her six year old daughter. She is on her way home from work when she gets caught in traffic, picks up her cellular phone and calls home to let them know she will be late. Julie, her older daughter, answers the phone and tells her mom that she is working on the decorations for the party. Maria, the maid, and Megan have gone over to the neighbor's house so that the decorations will be a surprise to Megan. While they are talking, the door bell rings and, Julie goes to the door and opens it, carrying the phone in her hand. The next few moments will be forever embedded in Karen's mind for the rest of her life. She hears Julie begin to scream in the background and can also detect the sounds of a struggle of some kind. Julie starts screaming for her mother as she is being attacked by the man who was at the door. As Karen sits helpless in her car in the middle of traffic, her daughter is fighting for her life and begging her mother to help her. Karen finally gets out of the car and begins running through the street begging someone to let her use their phone, while she keeps Julie on hers. Finally a woman rolls down the window of her car and offers to call the police for Karen. By the time the police arrive, it is too late. Julie has lost the fight between her and her attacker. A week or so later the man responsible for Julie's death, Robert Doob is caught and charged with murder. Unfortunately, the case is dismissed on a technicality and he goes free. Not only was Julie violated by this man, but Karen feels he has violated her as well by walking away a free man. After Doob walks away, Karen decides to do some investigating on her own. She begins by following Doob and documenting his every move until she is ready to go to the police. After a few encounters with Doob, Karen decides to take matters into her own hands and purchases a gun. The film deals with her tracking the criminal and her questioning whether or not she is capable of taking another person's life in cold blood.
Animal action is minimal with the use of a dog and a moth. In the beginning scene, there is a moth flying around Megan's bedroom, casting shadows against the wall. She yells for her mother. Karen enters the room and Megan tells her about the moth. Karen sees the moth land on a lamp shade and slowly approaches it. She cups her hands around the moth and then carries it to the open window, letting it fly free. The scene was filmed in cuts. To accomplish this scene, the trainer merely placed the moth on the lamp shade. The actress picked it up in her hands, walked over to the window and tossed it outside. The trainer was waiting on the other side, out of camera range, ready to retrieve the insect. In a scene when Karen is following Doob, he is seen drinking coffee while sitting at the entrance to an open alley. A dog walks over to him looking as if he wants some food or maybe a drink. Doob takes his hot coffee and pours it on the dog's back, laughing as the dog yelps in pain. To accomplish this scene the trainer merely released the dog and with the use of voice commands told the dog to stay once he reached his mark. Then the actor poured coke onto the dogs neck area and the trainer called the dog back to him. The sounds of the dog yelping as if in pain were inserted later in editing. When Doob delivers groceries to a young woman, he passes a dog behind a fence, in her neighbors front yard. The dog starts barking at him, but Doob makes no contact with the animal as he passes him. Then in a later scene, Doob goes back to the same house to deliver more groceries, but this time he attacks the woman, killing her. During the struggle, the dog can be heard barking in the background and later seen at the fence barking. To accomplish this, trainer one released the dog while a second trainer off camera, used voice and hand signals to get the dog to bark.

THE ATROCITY ARCHIVES by Charles Stross ★★★★ | Kara.Reviews
Review of The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross
This might be one of my favourite Charles Stross books. I think it's the effortless blend of bureaucratic humour and horror, and the slight homages to spy fiction, that makes The Atrocity Archives so appealing. It's not just any one thing, and it isn't too much of any of these things. There are plenty of ways to play the "secret government agency that fights the supernatural" angle, and plenty of them are valid. Stross has gone the tongue-in-cheek, cryptopunk route, and his particular brand of relentless, sardonic humour fits perfectly with this style.
The Atrocity Archives speaks to me as a math geek. All the magic in this book is arguably sufficiently advanced science, in the sense that it's done using math—incredibly complex math. Turing cracked the P=NP problem, and in so doing realized it gave access to other universes. Many of these infinite universes are inhabited by beings like or unlike us—demons and spirits and Lovecraftian Old Ones. And it's not just what Stross creates; it's how he describes it: "the many-angled ones who live at the bottom of the Mandelbrot set". He seamlessly integrates math jargon into the conversation, never pausing to explain the lesser terms (he does give a bit of a crash course to things like the Turing problem in a little exposition). I can't speak for how the mathematically uninitiated will feel about this—I can only hope that the patter will also be seamless, if slightly less explicable—a gentle background noise that eases on into the atmosphere Stross is trying to create.
That atmosphere is probably familiar to readers of spy fiction, particularly the over-the-top stories of Fleming and his ilk, for whom the perfect spy is the suave and sophisticated but unrealistically flashy James Bond or lookalike. The agents of the Laundry face global, perhaps even universal, annihilation on a regular basis. Standing toe-to-toe with such unimaginable horror, the only thing one can do is shrug and laugh. It's the Dr. Strangelove , or Catch-22 , appeal to absurdity. Stross reinforces this with many allusions to the Cold War and its lasting effects on the Laundry's tangled org chart and resources.
The Laundry itself is as much a bastion of bureaucracy as it is badassery. Prior to being approved for fieldwork, Bob is little more than a glorified IT technician, running madly around the office trying to keep ancient servers running. His superiors harass him non-stop over missing paperwork; this continues even after he becomes a field agent and begins going on classified operations. Bob doesn't like putting up with this, and he occasionally manages to wiggle out of it, but the bureaucrats always seem to get the last laugh. (Stross expounds further on that last idea in The Concrete Jungle , a sequel novella that is included in this edition of the book.)
So he's sold me on the setting. The main character is slightly more generic than I might like for a protagonist. But Bob did grow on me—partly, I think, because he isn't uber-competent, and his intuitive leaps of brilliance always make sense, thanks to sensible foreshadowing. For example, there is one point near the climax of the book where he needs to quickly construct a charm that will render him invisible to some bad guys. Earlier in the book, we established such a charm exists and how it's made—and, conveniently, Bob had the principal ingredient on his person for an entirely unrelated reason. It all comes together nicely, in a way that signals tight writing and editing that I always appreciate seeing.
I'll admit to getting a bit lost with the plot a few times. Stross draws on obscure points of history and nuances of politics that occasionally escape my grasp (especially when reading this on a transatlantic flight when I should be sleeping but can't). This doesn't mar my enjoyment of the story, though; the fun of the action and tone of Bob's narration is quite enough to see my through to the end. I suspect I'm also just lazy and used to authors who feel the need to explain every detail to the reader, whereas Stross decides to leave the bigger picture disassembled and let the reader put it together—or not—at their own pace and leisure.
The Atrocity Archives is the first in a fun series. It's James Bond meets Dilbert or Douglas Coupland, a story where black humour screens the oppressive knowledge of all the immensely powerful things that go bump in the night. It teeters on the yawning chasm of despair, its appeal to absurdity only just holding it back—and that powerful juxtaposition of light and dark tones creates a story worth reading and discussing.

Eucharistic Miracle: Lanciano, Italy 8th Century A.D.
This wondrous Event took place in the 8th century A.D. in the little Church of St. Legontian, as a divine response to a Basilian monk's doubt about Jesus' Real Presence in the Eucharist.
During Holy Mass, after the two-fold consecration, the host was changed into live Flesh and the wine was changed into live Blood, which coagulated into five globules, irregular and differing in shape and size.
The Host-Flesh, as can be very distinctly observed today, has the same dimensions as the large host used today in the Latin church; it is light brown and appears rose-colored when lighted from the back.
The Blood is coagulated and has an earthy color resembling the yellow of ochre.
Various ecclesiastical investigation ("Recognitions") were conducted since 1574.
In 1970-'71 and taken up again partly in 1981 there took place a scientific investigation by the most illustrious scientist Prof. Odoardo Linoli, eminent Professor in Anatomy and Pathological Histology and in Chemistry and Clinical Microscopy. He was assisted by Prof. Ruggero Bertelli of the University of Siena.
The analyses were conducted with absolute and unquestionable scientific precision and they were documented with a series of microscopic photographs.
* The Flesh is real Flesh. The Blood is real Blood.
* The Flesh and the Blood belong to the human species.
* The Flesh consists of the muscular tissue of the heart.
* In the Flesh we see present in section: the myocardium, the endocardium, the vagus nerve and also the left ventricle of the heart for the large thickness of the myocardium.
* The Flesh is a "HEART" complete in its essential structure.
* The Flesh and the Blood have the same blood-type: AB (Blood-type identical to that which Prof. Baima Bollone uncovered in the Holy Shroud of Turin).
* In the Blood there were found proteins in the same normal proportions (percentage-wise) as are found in the sero-proteic make-up of the fresh normal blood.
* In the Blood there were also found these minerals: chlorides, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium.
* The preservation of the Flesh and of the Blood, which were left in their natural state for twelve centuries and exposed to the action of atmospheric and biological agents, remains an extraordinary phenomenon.
Fig. 1 – Eosine x 200. Overall histological aspect of a Flesh sample with fibers collected in bundles with longitudinal orientation as it occurs in the outer surface layers of the heart.
Fig. 2 – Miracle Heart in Lanciano. Mallory x 250. An artery and, very close, a branch of the vagal nerve.
Fig. 5 – Electro-phoretic pattern of Blood proteins (Cromoscan photometer). The profile of serum fractions is normal and superimposable to that of a fresh serum sample.
In conclusion, it may be said that Science, when called upon to testify, has given a certain and thorough response as regards the authenticity of the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano.
Not really a "story" but a description with good followup study of the items by medical specialists.

VamaIndia	 Sep 8, 2017 13,064 2
Advocating for young women, children and human rights, their economic empowerment and political participation are the critical levers for driving progress towards gender equality. Women activists through the ages have played a significant role in-propagating & changing many such individuals and the society's mentality too.
Ranisa Rukshmani Kumari Ji is one such woman of substance, hailing from the illustrious Royal Family of Chomu which has a history of great warriors right from the Mughal Period in erstwhile British rule and Post-Independence serving the Indian Forces in various capacities & Ranks.
She is the founder of the NGO Star Foundation under which she has pledged to support economic & social upliftment of women and child education in Rural Rajasthan & later in other parts of India. She always made an effort to empower them in sustainable ways.
She started her journey & focus towards the empowerment of women & changing the lives of children while attending the WHO conference in the USA.
According to WHO, most of the children in third world countries are affected & are subjected to life-threatening diseases being barefoot as one of the major cause. The long term damage caused by these diseases to young children, invoke her desire to work towards the basic needs of these underprivileged people.
And that's how Rukshmani Kumari started the Star Shoe Project. In this project, she aims to distribute shoes in the Government schools of Rural Rajasthan and has hosted discussions, workshops and counseling parents who at present refrain and stop their children from attending schools due to various reasons.
She has distributed more than 5000 shoes in various schools in many villages of Rajasthan.
She also elucidates on being a single parent to her son Maharaj Kumar Prithviraj Singh after losing her husband Shaheed Maharaj Kumar Major Aditya Singh during Operation Prakram in Kashmir on 5th November 2011.
According to Rukshmani Ji, it is not easy to play both roles. But her son is very supportive and understands her efforts. She added that during her visits to the villages , She observes Widowed women are kept away from participating important function and they are forced not to wear what they like is an injustice to the humanity. I will always stand for these women as I understand there pain what they go through.
Shaheed Maharaj Kumar Major Aditya Singh with son Maharaj Kumar Prithviraj Singh
Now, she is trying to initiate changes for these women too but on the contrary, she rightly points out and stress that true change will only come when the society changes its mindset.
With so many ups and downs in her life, she does not fail to relish the things she likes to do. She loves to cook and has a wide collection of sarees like any other Indian woman. She is an avid and voracious reader.
Rukshmani Kumari Ji is currently working on 3 projects other than the "Star Shoe Project "
Star Mahila Kendra in which various skills are taught to the rural women of Rajasthan, at present, in these centers they have two batches of 12 women each who are getting trained in stitching. After learning, she is planning to have a tie-up with fashion houses in Jaipur and supporting these women until they become self-reliant and self-sufficient.
Secondly, The Star Vriksh Abhiyan – the motto of this project is to plant at least one tree in each house in all the villages in Rajasthan. She believes that a plant must be planted and nurtured to secure our future and that of our coming generations. This project works on guiding the families to adopt the plant and name it on their child's name or parents' name.To make people believe in it and also to build the emotional connect.
The Star Pusthakalya, which will be establishing libraries in Government schools. She appeals to everyone to come forward to donate their old story books to the foundation.With her deep love for books, Rukshmani Ji believes that books and reading can change the life of achild..She wishes to open this world to the children of all classes and society.
Rukshmani Ji is a spiritual person; she believes Bhagavat Gita holds immense power to bring about positive change in the mind.
When asked about her thoughts on entering the politics, she hinted that people are rooting her to become one, with a lot of corruption in this era people have felt the need to have somebody to be their voice. She does not mind contesting an election if she could be of any help for her people in some or the other way.
Rukshmani Kumari Ji strongly conjectures that Gender Equality will be attained in the near future but not anytime soon. She feels content that women have started talking about women empowerment in the first place.
We are growing slowly and rapidly. Let's not nag and be negative and hope that one day we will share everything equally as the men.
Ranisa Rukshmani Kumari Ji with Ritika Joshi, Founder VamaIndia
She delivered a special message to all VamaIndia readers out here:
"We Women should start uplifting and strengthening each other for a better society and towards a better tomorrow for our children"

This miter saw has been posted here but haven't seen it prices this low. Purchased two at home depot in Pittsburgh.
Try talking to the instore Milwaukee rep, they will price match some of the clearance price, this is very YMMV and depends on the rep.
You gave thanks to skillazd for this post.
skillazd posted this deal. Say thanks!
It's only a YMMV for $150.00... They can be readily found for $300.00 at lots of HD's. Trust me it's not as wild of a goose chase as you think.
Talk to the intore Milwaukee rep they sometimes will adjust price, I got the 12v drill combo for $85 talking to them instead of $135. They are trying to dump product for the new stuff that's coming.
Milwaukee just had their New Product Symposium. There's no new miter saw coming, though they may include the new 12AH battery and package in a new box.
I have never once managed to find one of these HD Milwaukee deals. I'm happy for those of you who have local HDs who apparently offer these deals, but it must be local to you. When posting these deals you might want to mention that if you don't like down-votes.
Just picked mine up for 150.
Had to use brickseek in a different way since it doesnt show prices.
In brickseek, youll see that most stores have 4 or 5 in stock. Those stores are not on clearance.
The ones that show limited, or very low quantity are likely to have them on clearance.
so i called them up checked prices, and sure enough one store had it for 150.
i had to use multiple zipcodes since brickseek only shows a limited radius from the zipcode you put in.
I drove an hour there and hour back home, so 2 hours invested, but it was worth the trip.
The store was in Fenton, Michigan.

Hey bud you may want to return the warranty.
TTI the parent company for Milwaukee is amazing on their warranty work. Fuel line is 5 year warranty.
I've had my drill make horrible screeching, called CS, they heard it over the phone, overnighted it and had it back within 48 hours. My rapid charger caught on fire, they had it back to me in 4 days, it wasn't the same charger, it was a whole new replacement, this was all done and set up online. Wasn't charged a penny either time.
Welcome to the internet. A lot of people are going do stuff that doesn't make sense.
Unfortunate, but stick it out and you'll be fine. Just pray you don't become one of the people on here that goes to a B & M retail store and demand price adjustments or link 3rd party site prices to an employee that is paid min wage and you get upset when they don't care.

Kenneth winds up in juvenile detention on charges of vandalism, theft, trespass, and criminal mischief after a concerned citizen snaps photos of him, his brother, and another kid breaking into cars at the local train station. Without a stable home life to send the boys back to, the judge has no easy answers for this case. Will she allow them to go home, or will their long juvenile rap sheet seal their fate?

The following astrologers' prayer has been derived from selected chapters of the Old & New Testement.
Who has prescribed for him his way, or who can say, 'Thou hast done wrong'? 24 "Remember to extol his work, of which men have sung. 25 All men have looked on it; man beholds it from afar. 26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not; the number of his years is unsearchable. 27 For he draws up the drops of water, he distils his mist in rain 28 which the skies pour down, and drop upon man abundantly. 29 Can any one understand the spreading of the clouds, the thunderings of his pavilion? 30 Behold, he scatters his lightning about him, and covers the roots of the sea. 31 For by these he judges peoples (Job 36 : 23-31).
Can you bind the chains of the Plei'ades, or loose the cords of Orion? 32 Can you lead forth the Maz'zaroth in their season, or can you guide the Bear with its children? 33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you establish their rule on the earth? 34 "Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that a flood of waters may cover you? 35 Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go and say to you, 'Here we are'? 36 Who has put wisdom in the clouds, or given understanding to the mists? 37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens, (Job 38 : 31-38).
7 Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star appeared; 8 and he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him bring me word, that I too may come and worship him." 9 When they had heard the king they went their way; and lo, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy; 11 and going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
And he rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, 15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt have I called my son." 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah: 18 (Matthew 2 14-18).

Our restaurant offers local and traditional food a la carte.
We can arrange outdoor relax facilities, special events, Big Fish Trophy Fishing groups, VIP demands etc.
Mefjord Brygge offers easy access to some of the best big halibut and cod fishing spots in Norway. We are proud to offer excellent trophy fishing possibilities.
The cod come from the Barents Sea passing just outside mouth of the fjord and this provides a fantastic fishing all year in Mefjord, especially during March to May. There are many recommended GPS positions and fishing areas within a radius of 20 km. From Skreigrunndsdjupet to Fallbakken there are several interesting fishing areas.
Cod, pollack, haddock, cusk and catfish are the most common species in the area. You can encounter both big and small halibut. Halibut has been fished very well in recent years. This is most likely thanks to the fact that shrimp trawlers were prohibited in the fjords many years ago and halibut population was left to grow large. At Mefjord Brygge fishermen catch halibut almost daily in the season. Take the additional challenge and if you are lucky you will get it up from the depths. For instance Askebåen and Vesterbåen are both a well known halibut spots.

I think it's wonderful that some high end designers offer diffusion lines so that fashionistas can still have the opportunity to wear their clothes without the hefty price tag. The likes of Missoni have a diffusion line with their label, M Missoni, Chloe has their diffusion label, See by Chloe and French designer Isabel Marant has her diffusion line, Isabel Marant Etoile.
Isabel Marant loves dressing women for every day. This is what I love about the Etoile label, the fact I can slip on an item and wear it running errands and feel so french chic and oh so feminine! That's how I feel about her Etoile line, Each piece is so wearable. From floral dresses and skirts to soft breezy fabrics, sweatshirts and casual pants, Isabel Marant Etoile is both feminine and chic.
I pretty much have everything in the Spring/Summer 2019 Isabel Marant Etoile collection on my Wish List! One of each please! Merci!
I still remember purchasing my very first ever Oroton handbag when I was in my early twenties. It was a small brown saddle bag that you could wear across the body. I wore it for years, until it became too scratched up due to the fact that it was made out of a fabulously soft cow hide. A decade later, I bought the Jackie Hobo which I still use from time to time. My Oroton handbags and the purse I still use every day, have definitely stood the test of time. The quality of manufacturing is undeniably second to none.
Did you know that Oroton are celebrating 80 years this year? That's pretty amazing since back in 2017, Oroton went into voluntary administration. I was worried the company was going to join the long list of Australian designers who have not managed to stay afloat. Thankfully in late 2017, Caledonia Funds Management chief investment officer, Will Vicars, purchased the brand from the administrator. Will Vicars had already a small portion of shares in the company.
