Facts about Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX):
With the demolition of the Tower Building, Terminal 1's road was also expanded and improved.
This hot and high airport is served by 46 domestic and international airlines, including cargo carriers.
Because of Benito Juarez International Airport's high elevation of 7,316 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MEX. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MEX a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
The Customs area grew from 3,350 to 6,200m² and the number of inspection modules grew from 10 to 18.
The furthest airport from Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,294 miles (18,175 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
Air operations in the new facilities began on November 15, 2007, with flights by Aeromar and Delta Air Lines, and later AeroMéxico, Copa, LAN and Continental Airlines.
On November 24, 1978, the "Mexico" Control Tower began its operations.
Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX) has 2 runways.
The closest airport to Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX) is Santa Lucía Air Force Base (NLU), which is located 22 miles (36 kilometers) N of MEX.
In addition to being known as "Benito Juarez International Airport", another name for MEX is "Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez".
Benito Juarez International Airport handled 3,277,957 passengers last year.
The domestic and international parking lots were equipped with a modern, automated pre-paid system, which simplifies user arrival and departure.

Place Mushrooms in Sunlight to Get Your Vitamin D

Vitamin D is an essential vitamin that boosts the immune system and plays vital roles in human metabolism. Did you know that tasty mushrooms are one source for vitamin D, and that you can naturally multiply their levels by exposing them to sunlight?
We evolved living in more sunlight than today. We make our own vitamin D when sunlight hits our skin cells. Many people living in the northern hemisphere, however, suffer from lower levels of vitamin D during the fall, winter and spring. Fortunately, you can make your own supply of vitamin D-enriched mushrooms by simply exposing them to sunlight. You can sun dry or UV-zap store-bought or homegrown shiitake, maitake, button, and many other mushroom species. My personal preference is home grown organic shiitake. The high vitamin D levels generated will last for more than a year. Surprisingly, even sliced and dried mushrooms--including wild ones picked the year before--will soar in vitamin D when placed outdoors under the sun. Now, the summer time, from June until September, is the best seasonal window for people in northern latitudes to make vitamin D enriched mushrooms!
Many physicians view low levels of vitamin D as a serious medical pre-condition. In extreme cases, vitamin D deficiencies can cause diseases such as rickets. Insidious diseases, such as cancer, are immune-mitigated. Without adequate vitamin D levels, your immune system is impaired. This is why cancer patients are often prescribed high daily doses of vitamin D, up to 4,000-10,000 International Units (IU), compared to the FDA recommended Daily Value (DV) dose of 400 IU for adults over 50 years in age. Please consult your physician before taking such large doses (1 IU is equal to 40 micrograms).
New recommendations from the Institute of Medicine, a branch of the National Academy of Sciences, increase the dosage to 600 IU per day for people up to age 70, and 800 IU for those over 70. Many naturopaths and physicians suggest ingesting at least 1,000 IU/day. A 2012 report in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism combined the results of eight clinical studies and showed that older people taking 1,000 IU of vitamin D, in combination with 1,000 mg of calcium, for three years had a 7% reduced death rate (Rejnmark, 2012). When not ingesting vitamin D mushrooms, and especially when traveling, I take a 1,000 IU wild Sockeye Salmon vitamin D3/Omega 3 product several times a week, or daily when I remember.
The commercially common sources of vitamin D are vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) that comes from sheep's wool (lanolin), pigskins, and some oily fish (mackerel, sardines, anchovies, herring, trout, and salmon). Mushrooms and animal skins create vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Mushrooms are rich in the vitamin D precursor ergosterol, which ultraviolet B (between wavelengths of 290 nm to 315 nm) converts to ergocalciferols, also called provitamin D2. Mammfal epidermis has cholecalciferol, which ultraviolet light converts to D3.
Which is Better, Vitamin D3 or D2?
The New England Journal of Medicine published an exhaustive article comparing the metabolic pathways of vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 (Holick, 2007). Our enzymes convert both D vitamins into 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and then into the active form of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in our kidneys. This form of vitamin D can bind to receptors in various tissues around the body for use. One advantage of vitamin D3 is its longevity after ingestion--staying in the bloodstream for weeks compared to days for vitamin D2. However, for people taking vitamin D supplements several times a week, there seems to be no significant advantage in taking one form or the other.
Moreover, eating mushrooms packed with vitamin D2 confers many other health benefits. Mushrooms have many helpful nutrients, including beta glucans for immune enhancement, ergothioneines for antioxidative potentiation, nerve growth stimulators for helping brain function, and antimicrobial compounds for limiting viruses.
While making your own vitamin D3 from sheep or pigskins may be possible, it is rather gruesome and technically difficult. Consuming vitamin D3 from fish is not an option for vegetarians. Vitamin D from mushrooms is not only vegan and vegetarian friendly, but you can prepare your own by exposing mushrooms to the summer sun. Mushrooms grown indoors have very little vitamin D but reserve great potential for hyper-producing it.
Here is a simple experiment we did one summer afternoon in Kamilche Point, Washington. We compared several forms of organically grown shiitake mushrooms, which had starting level of 100 IU/100 grams. We compared the vitamin D levels of three sets of mushrooms, all from the same crop. The first was grown and dried indoors. The second set was dried outdoors in the sunlight with their gills facing down. The third set of mushrooms was dried outdoors in the sunlight with their gills facing upwards for full sun exposure. The most vitamin D was found in shiitake dried with gills up that were exposed to sunlight for two days, six hours per day. The vitamin D levels in these mushrooms soared from 100 IU/100 grams to nearly 46,000 IU/100 grams (see chart). Their stems, though, produced very little vitamin D, only about 900 IU. Notably, vitamin D levels dropped on the third day, probably due to over-exposure to UV.
Most interesting to me is that when we tested our mushrooms nearly a year after exposure, they preserved significant amounts of vitamin D2. I suspect values are much higher initially, gradually falling in time, consistent with reports by other researchers. This means that you can capture vitamin D in mushrooms and have a ready source of this important vitamin--and delicious mushrooms--through the fall, winter, and spring.
How much vitamin D can 100 grams of fresh mushrooms make from sunlight? A lot, but a lot more when mushrooms are dried, pulverized, and then exposed to UVB light lamps. Caution: Using UVB light lamps can cause damage to your eyes and skin. Do not attempt this without taking necessary precautions.
Robert Beelman at Penn State University was one of the pioneers who learned that pulsing high intensity beams of UV could generate vitamin D (and also, bonus, surface-sterilize the mushrooms). Thanks in large part to his work, UV-exposed mushrooms--primarily the fresh button variety--are increasingly available in grocery stores. When we ranked the vitamin D concentrations of shiitake exposed to no light, exposed to sunlight with gills up, and exposed to continuous UVB light after slicing, the results were impressive: more than a six-fold increase under UVB light compared with sunlight.
These results make sense. When mushrooms were sliced, more ergosterol-rich surface area was exposed. The indoor UV light was more intense than sunlight. The combination of these resulted in more vitamin D being produced. Although up to 12 hours of sun exposure to upside-down (gills up) shiitakes created 46,000 IU of vitamin D, I am sure sliced ones would give you more, as the surface area would increase. However, the sun is a convenient source of UVB whereas setting up a UVB light chamber is not.
Here is how to do it:
Shitake mushrooms ready for natural vitamin D enhancement
Obtain fresh Organic shiitake, maitake, button, oyster, shimeji or other mushrooms.
On a sunny day in June, July or August, slice the fresh mushrooms. Place them evenly on a tray exposed directly to the sun from 10 am to 4 pm.
Before nightfall, cover the mushrooms with a layer of cardboard to block moisture from dewfall.
The next clear day repeat exposure to the sun from 10 am to 4 pm.
Remove the mushrooms and finish drying (if necessary in a food dehydrator until they are crispy).
When thoroughly dry, store in a glass jar or sealed container. Adding a tablespoon of uncooked rice as a moisture absorber will help keep the mushrooms dry. The mushrooms should be good for a year or more, depending upon conditions.
Take 10 grams daily per person, about a small handful. Rehydrate in water for one hour. The mushrooms will swell. Then cook as desired.
Sliced fresh Shiitake Mushrooms Sun-dried Shiitake mushrooms
100 grams (~ 3.5 ounces) of freshly cut shiitake mushrooms
10 grams (~ .35 ounces) of sun exposed, dried shiitake mushrooms
A natural question to ask is how much of the vitamin D from consuming mushrooms makes it into my bloodstream? Comparing 26 people who took a vitamin D2 supplement to 26 others ingesting vitamin D-enriched mushrooms four times per week for five weeks, researchers at the University Medical Center in Frieburg, Germany found that the serum levels of vitamin D were similar. They used button mushrooms exposed to UV light that resulted in 20,000 IU/100 grams fresh weight. Subjects ingested 120 grams fresh (≈24,000 IU) of vitamin D-enriched mushrooms, which is about a quarter of a lb. or roughly a handful. The results showed similar levels of vitamin D were absorbed in the blood in both groups: those who ingested a supplement in pill form and those who put freshly cooked mushrooms in soup. At the end of the study, both groups' serum vitamin D levels increased to ~50 nmol/L, which is considered to be a healthy baseline level. A general consensus amongst many health care practitioners is that you need to replenish your vitamin D so blood serum levels are between 50 and 125 nmol/L of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Care should be taken to avoid over-supplementation, as serum levels over 125 nmol/L can be hazardous (see chart).

In der Gattung S 10 waren bei den Preußischen Staatseisenbahnen alle Schnellzuglokomotiven mit der Achsfolge 2'C zusammengefasst. Es gab vier Bauarten, die mit S 10, S 101 (Bauarten 1911 und 1914) und S 102 bezeichnet wurden.

S 10

Da das steigende Verkehrsaufkommen im ersten Jahrzehnt des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts die zweifach gekuppelten Schnellzuglokomotiven hinsichtlich ihrer Zugkraft überforderte, bestellte die Preußischen Staatseisenbahnen bei Schwartzkopff die Fahrzeuge der Gattung S 10 mit drei gekuppelten Treibachsen. Die Maschinen wurden als Weiterentwicklung der Personenzuglokomotive P 8 konzipiert. Die S 10 verfügten über einen verstärkten P 8-Kessel, auch übernahm man den Blechrahmen in modifizierter Form. Anders als die P 8 hatten die S 10 jedoch – angeregt durch die Sächsische XII H – ein auf die erste Kuppelachse wirkendes Vierzylindertriebwerk mit einfacher Dampfdehnung, von dem man sich eine bessere Laufruhe erhoffte.

Zwischen 1910 und 1914 wurden insgesamt 202 Lokomotiven gebaut. Die beiden Prototypen wurden zunächst als S 8 bezeichnet, erst ab 1912 als S 10. Auch die Lübeck-Büchener Eisenbahn erhielten fünf ähnliche, aber etwas schwächer ausgeführte Maschinen, die bei dieser Bahn ebenfalls als S 10 bezeichnet wurden.

Im Laufe der Zeit wurden einige Modifikationen vorgenommen. Letztlich erwiesen sich die S 10 aber im Dampf- und Kohleverbrauch den S 101 mit Vierzylinder-Verbundtriebwerk unterlegen und gehörten zu den unwirtschaftlichsten preußischen Lokomotiven. Eine S 10 konnte einen Schnellzug von 390 t in der Ebene mit 100 km/h befördern; auf einer Steigung von 10 Promille wurden noch 300 t mit 50 km/h bewältigt. Damit waren die S 10 nicht nur unwirtschaftlicher, sondern überdies schwächer als die S 101 und S 102.

Die Deutsche Reichsbahn übernahm noch 135 Lokomotiven als Baureihe 17.0–1 und gab ihnen die Betriebsnummern 17 001–135. Sie wurden wegen ihres hohen Brennstoffverbrauchs bis 1935 ausgemustert. Nur drei Exemplare (17 039, 102 und 107) überlebten als Bremslokomotiven den Zweiten Weltkrieg. Die letzte S 10 wurde 1954 ausgemustert.

Sechs Lokomotiven dieses Typs gingen 1920 an die neu gegründete Litauische Staatsbahn Lietuvos geležinkeliai (LG), die sie als Baureihe Gr 10 mit den Nummern 1–6 einreihte und bis zum Ende der ersten litauischen Unabhängigkeit 1940 einsetzte. Bis zur Neubeschaffung der Reihe Gp 1938 waren die Gr 10 die wichtigsten Schnellzuglokomotiven der LG.

Die 17 008 ist aufgeschnitten im Deutschen Technikmuseum Berlin erhalten.

Die S 10 waren mit Schlepptendern der Bauarten pr 2'2' T21,5 und pr 2'2' T31,5 gekuppelt.

S 101 (Bauart 1911)

Noch während der Lieferung der S 10 wurde bei Henschel der Bau einer Vierzylinderverbund-Heißdampflokomotive mit derselben Achsfolge in Auftrag gegeben. Von ihr versprach man sich einen geringeren Kohleverbrauch.

Diese als Gattung S 101 bezeichnete Bauart basierte nicht auf der S 10, sondern war im Henschel-Konstruktionsbüro unter der Leitung von Georg Heise vollständig neu konstruiert worden. Die Maschine erhielt ein Vierzylinder-Verbundtriebwerk der Bauart de Glehn mit weit zurückgesetzten und waagerecht liegenden, auf die zweite Kuppelachse wirkenden, außenliegenden Hochdruckzylindern sowie vorgeschobenen, innen in geneigter Position liegenden Niederdruckzylindern, die auf die gekröpfte erste Kuppelachse wirkten. Die S 101 waren größer und leistungsfähiger als die S 10 und dank des Verbundtriebwerks auch sparsamer. Mit rund 1000 PS Leistung am Tenderzughaken waren die Lokomotiven stärker als alle übrigen bisherigen preußischen Schnellzuglokomotiven.

Zwischen 1911 und 1914 wurden 135 Exemplare für Preußen und 17 für Elsaß-Lothringen hergestellt, 5 Exemplare 1101 bis 1104 sowie 1117 nach Bauart De Glehn, 12 Exemplare 1105 bis 1116 nach Bauart von Borries. Nachdem man anfangs mit den Fahrzeugen nicht zufrieden war, führten einige Modifikationen an den Lokomotiven schließlich zu dem gewünschten Erfolg. So konnten aus Massegründen zunächst keine Speisewasservorwärmer eingebaut werden, die dann später nachgerüstet wurden. Die verbliebenen Nachteile, zum Beispiel die schlechte Zugänglichkeit des Innentriebwerks, führten zu einer Neuentwicklung in Form der Bauart 1914.

Nachdem drei Lokomotiven als Reparationsabgabe ins Ausland gegangen waren, übernahm die Deutsche Reichsbahn die übrigen 132 Fahrzeuge als Baureihe 17.10–11 mit den Nummern 17 1001–1123 und 17 1145–1153.

Drei nach 1945 bei der Österreichischen Bundesbahn verbliebene Lokomotiven wurden zu 617.1004, 617.1089 und 617.1099 umgezeichnet und 1957 ausgemustert.

Die Deutsche Bundesbahn musterte die letzten Lokomotiven 1952 aus. Die Deutsche Reichsbahn war länger auf diese Bauart angewiesen und baute 13 Exemplare auf Kohlestaubfeuerung um. Die 17 1119 erhielt versuchsweise einen Kondenstender. 1963 wurden die letzten Maschinen abgestellt.

Die 17 1055 (ehem. Posen 1107, beschriftet als Osten 1135) wurde teilweise in den Originalzustand zurückversetzt und gehört heute dem Verkehrsmuseum Dresden.

Die S 101 waren mit Schlepptendern der Bauarten pr 2'2' T21,5 und pr 2'2' T31,5 gekuppelt.

S 101 (Bauart 1914)

Verschiedene Nachteile der S 101 Bauart 1911, z. B. die schlechte Zugänglichkeit des Innentriebwerks und die langen Dampfwege zwischen Hoch- und Niederdruckzylindern, veranlassten die Preußischen Staatseisenbahnen dazu, die Konstruktion, wiederum unter der Leitung von Georg Heise, überarbeiten zu lassen.

Die vier Zylinder der umkonstruierten Maschine wurden wie bei der Bauart von Borries in einer Querebene zwischen den Laufachsen liegend angeordnet, im Unterschied zur von Borriesschen Bauart behielt man aber den Zweiachsantrieb nach de Glehn bei. Die Niederdruckzylinder verblieben innen. Auch der Kessel wurde modifiziert; Rostfläche und Feuerbüchsheizfläche sowie der Überhitzer etwas vergrößert. Wegen der geänderten Anordnung der Zylinder konnte der Umlauf höher angebracht werden, wodurch die Lokomotiven höher und moderner wirken; tatsächlich aber blieb die Höhe der Kesselmitte über Schienenoberkante unverändert.

Trotz der doch erheblichen Unterschiede wurde auch die Bauart 1914 mit S 101 bezeichnet. Diese Lokomotiven waren die leistungsfähigsten Schnellzuglokomotiven in Preußen und blieben es auch, da die Preußische Staatsbahn keine Lokomotiven der Bauart Pacific beschaffe. Das Leistungsprogramm der Lokomotive sah die Beförderung eines Schnellzuges von 450 t in der Ebene mit 100 km/h und eines Zuges von 390 t auf einer Steigung von zehn Promille mit 50 km/h vor. Eine Lokomotive erreichte 1914 bei einer Versuchsfahrt mit drei Wagen 152 km/h (nach anderen Angaben sogar 156 km/h). Für den 12. März 1938 ist die pünktliche Beförderung des Henschel-Wegmann-Zuges von Berlin nach Dresden durch die 17 1177 anstelle der schadhaften Planlok 61 001, einer der schnellsten deutschen Dampflokomotiven überhaupt, belegt. In den 1930er Jahren wurden die vergleichsweise leichten Maschinen überdies auch zur Beförderung von Zügen mit 500 bis 600 t herangezogen. Die mit diesen Zuglasten einhergehende, aber auch mögliche, Überlastung der Kessels über die bei der Reichsbahn festgelegte Kesselgrenze (Verdampfungsleistung) von 57 kg/m²h hinaus führte allerdings zu einem vorzeitigen Verschleiß derselben, so dass es noch in den 1930er Jahren zu Neubekesselungen kam.

Die Deutsche Reichsbahn übernahm 77 Lokomotiven als Baureihe 17.11–12 mit den Nummern 17 1124–1144 und 1154–1209.

Bei der Deutschen Reichsbahn wurden zwei Lokomotiven der Bauart 1914 in den 1950ern auf Kohlenstaubfeuerung System Wendler umgebaut, für die sich die Kessel mit den langen, schmalen Feuerbüchsen wegen des langen Brennweges des Kohlenstaubes besser eigneten als die breiten und vergleichsweise kurzen der Einheitslokomotiven; die letzte Maschine wurde 1964 ausgemustert. Anders als von der Bauart 1911 ist keine Lokomotive der Bauart 1914 erhalten geblieben.

S 102

Die Stettiner Maschinenbau AG Vulcan baute nach dem Vorbild der S 10 die Bauart S 102. Diese hatte im Gegensatz zur S 10 ein Drillingstriebwerk, war aber ansonsten weitgehend baugleich.

Die Preußische Staatsbahn erwarb ab 1914 insgesamt 124 Lokomotiven, die zwar der S 10 überlegen waren, nicht jedoch der S 101. Die Lokomotiven konnten einen Schnellzug von 400 t in der Ebene mit 100 km/h befördern, auf einer Steigung von 10 Promille waren noch 300 t mit 50 km/h möglich.

28 Maschinen mussten nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg als Reparationsleistung an Bahnen im Ausland abgegeben werden. Zehn S 102 gelangten nach Frankreich, wo sie der Compagnie des chemins de fer du Nord (NORD) zugeteilt wurden. Von den ab 1938 von der SNCF als Baureihe 230 E bezeichneten Lokomotiven wurden während der deutschen Besetzung Frankreichs im Zweiten Weltkrieg neun nach Deutschland zurückgeholt. Die in Frankreich verbliebene 230 E 4 wurde 1950 in Amiens abgestellt.

Die Deutsche Reichsbahn übernahm die übrigen 96 Lokomotiven als Baureihe 17.2 mit den Betriebsnummern 17 201–296. Die verbliebenen Lokomotiven wurden in nord- und mitteldeutschen Direktionen zusammengezogen. Dort wurden sie ab 1930 teilweise durch die Baureihe 03 ersetzt.

88 Maschinen überstanden den Zweiten Weltkrieg und verblieben im Bereich der späteren Deutschen Bundesbahn, wo sie bis 1948 ausgemustert wurden.

Die S 102 waren mit Schlepptendern der Bauart pr 2'2' T31,5 gekuppelt.

Versuchslokomotiven
Drei S 10.2 wurden versuchsweise mit Gleichstromzylindern Bauart Stumpf ausgestattet, wobei die Außenzylinder anders als bei der Serienausführung auf die zweite Kuppelachse wirkten. Auch beim Umbau in die Normalausführung behielt man den Zweiachsantrieb bei. Eine dieser Maschinen ging nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg nach Polen; die anderen beiden erhielten bei der Reichsbahn die Nummern 17 203 und 17 204.

1925 erhielt die 17 206 einen Hochdruckkessel der Bauart Schmidt-Hartmann mit einem Kesselüberdruck von 588,4 N/cm² (60 bar) und das Triebwerk wurde auf Verbundwirkung umgebaut. Die Mehrleistung der H 17 206 genannten Lokomotive gegenüber der Serienausführung rechtfertigte jedoch den hohen Konstruktionsaufwand nicht; die Maschine wurde 1929 in die Normalausführung zurückgebaut und 1936 ausgemustert.

Die Lokomotiven 17 236 und 239 erhielten 1933 Mitteldruckkessel mit einem Kesselüberdruck von 245,2 N/cm² (25 bar), auch sie wurden dabei auf Verbundwirkung umgebaut. Die Leistung der umgebauten Lokomotiven reichte an die der Baureihe 03 heran, und sie wurden auch zusammen mit Lokomotiven dieser Reihe in einem Dienstplan eingesetzt. Nach mehreren Kesselschäden musste der Kesseldruck, um Schäden zu vermeiden, auf 16 bar herabgesetzt werden. In den 1930er Jahren baute man die beiden Mitteldrucklokomotiven wieder zurück. Beide Lokomotiven überstanden den Krieg und wurden zusammen mit den anderen S 10.2 1948 ausgemustert.

Q: Change array output to one without brackets I changed a sparse dictionary into an array with (np.asarray). Then, I wrote a function that used that array to return the answer of a formula. However, I did that in a way the output includes the double brackets. Let's say the output is now:
[[7.58939191]]

but should be:
7.58939191

Can someone say how I can change this easily? Or do I have to share my function for this?

A: One way could be item method:
x.item(0)

See the documentation:

Copy an element of an array to a standard Python scalar and return it.

A: You can turn it into a numpy array, then compress the dimension:
import numpy as np
a = np.squeeze(np.asarray(a))

Then you can use a just like a number, for example:
b = a + 1

Las Vegas, July 19, 2006 -- Today, seven of the world's top poker players filed an antitrust Complaint against WPT Enterprises, Inc. ("WPTE") in federal district court in Los Angeles. By this lawsuit, Plaintiffs Chris Ferguson, Andrew Bloch, Annie Duke, Phil Gordon, Joseph Hachem, Howard Lederer, and Greg Raymer seek to enjoin – and seek treble and punitive damages for – WPTE's continuing violations of federal and state antitrust laws.
WPTE operates the World Poker Tour ("WPT"), a series of televised, high stakes poker tournaments that are run by various casinos located throughout the United States and in parts of Canada and Europe.
The Complaint alleges that WPTE and the casinos have unlawfully conspired to eliminate competition for the services and intellectual property rights of top, high stakes professional poker players. In particular, the Complaint alleges that the casinos have agreed with WPTE that they will not host any non-WPT televised poker tournaments. The Complaint also alleges that WPTE and the casinos have conspired to fix the price and other terms and conditions under which Plaintiffs and other professional poker players are forced to give up their valuable services and intellectual property rights in order to participate in WPT tournaments.
Plaintiffs are seven of the most widely recognized and successful professional poker players in the world. Plaintiffs Howard Lederer and Phil Gordon, for example, are two poker superstars who have won three WPT tournaments between them. Plaintiff Chris Ferguson, perhaps the most widely recognized poker player in the world, and Plaintiffs Joseph Hachem and Greg Raymer, have each won the World Series of Poker ("WSOP") Main Event. Plaintiff Annie Duke has also won a WSOP event, and is regarded as the best and most accomplished female professional poker player in the history of poker. Plaintiff Andrew Bloch has two WPT "Final Table" appearances.
Dewey Ballantine LLP, founded in 1909, is an international law firm with more than 550 attorneys and locations in New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, East Palo Alto, Houston, Austin, London, Warsaw, Frankfurt, Milan, Beijing, and Rome.

3.4 Key Chinese Actors in Energy Diplomacy and Their Roles
Política Chinesa Parte 2 - China e o Mundo
Universidade de Ciência e Tecnologia de Hong Kong
One of the most significant changes in the world in the past 30 years is the opening of China to the outside world and its engagement with that world. In the initial years of the opening, external forces influenced China's economy, regional balances, bureaucracy, as well as the political authority of local leaders in the coastal areas. More recently, the world is feeling the effects of a rising China which seeks resources and talent from all around the globe and uses its financial wealth to strengthen its position in the world. This course tracks the opening of China up from 1978 until it joins the WTO, focusing on how the world affected China's internal development. We then look at various aspects of China's "going out strategy" — its search for energy, talent, as well as its relations with the United States and the states within the Asia-Pacific region. The instructor has been deeply engaged in research on all these topics, having lived in China during various stages of China's opening to the outside world. Course Overview video: https://youtu.be/7FpNL67EbE4
An excellent course with much to offer. I recommend it to anyone trying to understand China politically.

Chair Professor of the Division of Social Science and Director of Center on China's Transnational Relations
The next two sections will focus on the key Chinese actors in
China's energy diplomacy and their roles.
The first group I want to talk about are top government and party leaders.
And here we saw expressions by Hu Jintao, who at one point reportedly worried
greatly about the Malacca Straights, which he referred to as the Malacca Dilemma.
And the quote is that certain powers,
and here he is referring to the United States, have all along encroached on and
tried to control navigation through the Straits of Malacca.
Chinese overseas foreign direct investment is a component of China's foreign policy.
And when leaders go abroad, they try to help Chinese multinational corporations,
the oil companies negotiate better deals and
we saw this with 's trip to Africa, former Prime Minister.
We saw it with 's visit to Latin America when it looked like China was
going to invest a lot of money into Brazil.
We've seen it recently with visit to Mexico and Jamaica.
And all of these leaders have argued on behalf of Chinese energy companies and
have been able to yield some energy commitments.
And even the man who is today a Chinese ambassador to the US,
a man named Cui Tiankai, when he was visiting Hong Kong U,
Hong Kong University back in February 2005,
said that the literal states that's the states along the water way.
And here he was referring to the states along the Straits of Malacca,
that they are all responsible for protecting the Straits of Malacca and
he said very much that China was willing to cooperate with them.
A second group, government agencies and here we see the state council and
the National Development in Reform Commission encouraging the large
national oil companies to invest abroad in energy.
And in fact, they published a list of countries and resources
whose purchases they would subsidize through cheap loans.
That list I don't think they wanted to make it public but,
we were able to see that they were doing this.
The state also coordinates foreign aid so, the foreign ministry or
Mulford also will give aid a long building roads, and
bridges, and stadiums and harbors as part of the sweetener
to enhance the negotiating power of these Chinese energy companies.
The government's China Development Bank is a major player in loaning funds
to the Chinese oil companies and to foreign governments for
their projects, for these energy projects.
One of the surprising things though, given all of this energy anxiety and
this concern about getting enough energy supply was that for a long time,
there was no single agency that really ran this process for China.
And so what we found was a weak fragmented bureaucracy,
weak government control, constantly shifting,
new bureaus, competing bureaucratic interests going on.
And as I said China's lived a long time without any single
kind of a unified agency.
And so to quote Zha Dajong, who teaches at Peking University,
one of the world's leading specialists on China's oil.
For a decade, China has lived without a central ministerial agency to oversee
the country's energy industry and that's actually quite surprising.
Now another key group institution organization of the government
that's actually been able to benefit from this energy anxiety is the navy,
the people's liberation army navy.
We went back and looked at some of the language they were using
in their discussion of Energy supply, and
they really securitized these kinds of concerns.
They framed the issue very much in terms of national security.
And they effectively used energy security to increase their budget.
All right and they've been able to expand the naval fleet.
In 2002, the journal of National Defense University proposed a shift
from coastal defense to oceanic defense saying that it could do that by
building a powerful navy, capable of defending China's maritime rights and
interests and ensuring the nation's sea lane security.
General Xiong Guangkai, who was then deputy chief of staff of
the People's Liberation Army, a very high-ranking position,
said that the contest for energy sources and secure supply channels
among the major powers and powerful nations has become fiercer.
So we need more money for it, right?
He said that the nation's energy problem needed to be dealt with strategically.
And when you say strategically, that means forces.
And so what we in fact have seen is that China
is building its second aircraft carrier.
Probably more will come, as it seeks the capability to guard the sea,
the sea lanes of the Persian Gulf and the Straits of Malika.

The 'Swap Scandal'
Nearly two years on since the 'swap scandal' hit the headlines, the repercussions are still being felt. When this story broke, some financial commentators predicted that this could be a bigger issue for the banks than the PPI mis-selling fiasco. Now, with companies still claiming, not just their money back, but compensation for consequential losses as well, they could have been right.
This latest financial product mis-selling scandal came about because businesses, particularly small & medium sized, were being sold Interest Rate Swap Agreements (IRSAs) without being made fully aware of what they actually were. In addition, similarly to the situation with PPIs, businesses were being told that they had to buy the IRSA as a condition of the loan.
The Bully Banks website, which helps small businesses claim money back from the banks, states that banks did not fully explain the consequences of taking out an IRSA and this resulted in companies not being aware of the huge 'buy out' costs of up to 20% of the original loan. Conversely, there is a clause in most of these contracts that states that the bank can stop the IRSA if it becomes too costly for them.
According to Bully Banks, companies seeking loans were told that interest rates were likely to go up and that purchasing an IRSA would protect them if this happened. What they didn't explain was that, if the interest rates dropped as they did in 2008, the IRSA holder would not benefit from this and would still be stuck paying large monthly fees that could have a detrimental effect on their business. In some cases, these fees affected their credit ratings which meant that their buying power was greatly reduced, making them less competitive.
Financial website, This is Money, reported that in April a case should have gone to court that would have potentially changed the game in IRSA mis-selling claims. Guardian Care Homes were planning to sue Barclays Bank for £70million, which would have been the biggest amount claimed so far. It was settled out of court, however, and the article expressed concern that the legal fees, reported to be around £11million, would put smaller companies off pursuing these claims.
Some small businesses have not been put off though and have pursued claims through the FCA and Financial Ombudsman. Others have hired solicitors to harry the banks on their behalf. Results have been mixed but the most tenacious have often been the most successful. One small business owner in North London pursued a claim, against the advice of his accountant, and received over £150,000 of his money back and is now seeking compensation for consequential losses. Therefore, although these claims appear to be more damaging to the banks' reputations than their budgets, the successful ones have certainly been beneficial for the claimants and may deter banks from these practices in the future.

Attention AT&T tiered plan customers: more of you can now use FaceTime
By Kelley Corten 17 January 2013
You're overjoyed, we're sure
FaceTime is getting realer
After public backlash, threat of formal Federal Communications Commission (FCC) complaints and some bending, AT&T is finally letting customers on any tiered data plan with compatible iOS devices to use FaceTime over cellular.
The announcement came via a company blog post Wednesday, with Mark Collins, AT&T senior vice president or data and voice products, laying it all out.
"As a result of ongoing testing, we're announcing AT&T will enable FaceTime over cellular at no extra charge for customers with any tiered data plan using a compatible iOS device," Collins wrote.
He made sure to point out specifically that iPhone 4S customers with tiered plans can take advantage of Apple's video chat feature, which was introduced with the advent of iOS 6.
Before today's announcement, AT&T required those who wanted to use FaceTime over cellular to switch to one of its Mobile Share plans when it introduced the feature in September 2012.
In November, AT&T changed its tune, opening FaceTime up to those on tiered data plans and not just Mobile Share holders - though only for those with 4G LTE devices.
Now that it's cracked the door open a little more, customers should start to see the automatic update rolling out starting in a few weeks.
There is one catch to the good news: AT&T has so far stayed quiet on whether customers with grandfathered unlimited data plans can access FaceTime.
Not everyone is satiated
AT&T had been under the watchful eye of several Net neutrality groups since its FaceTime brouhaha began. Free Press has been one of the more outspoken, telling TechRadar in August that AT&T made up FCC language to justify its requirement to switch to Mobile Share plans in order to access FaceTime.
The organization hasn't let AT&T out of its sights, issuing this statement earlier today.
"AT&T's announcement is another step in the right direction," Matt Wood, Free Press' policy director, said in the statement.
"It shows once again that the FCC's Open Internet rules can create more consumer certainty, as they work to give people more choices and freedom in use of their data.
"Yet as we've made clear all along, the company has no right to block the application in the first place. Until AT&T makes FaceTime available to all of its customers, it is still in violation of the law and the broader principles of Net Neutrality.
"We remain ready to bring our complaint unless AT&T finishes the job and stops blocking this application altogether."
TechRadar asked Free Press if it has a deadline for AT&T to comply before filing its complaint and was told by a company spokeswoman that there isn't a concrete deadline, but Free Press will continue to monitor AT&T's actions over the coming weeks and months.

First a prefatory note for all the people coming here to learn about the theory of Generations and, especially, the so-called "fourth turning."
According to the Straus and Howe theory, a crisis is due. There are people in Washington who think they are the instruments of that event, and they might be, BUT these people are Boomers, that inward-looking, self-centered, self-indulgent, and massive group of people who during the 20th century have by sheer weight of numbers in the schools and markets affected much of American culture and institutions. Moreover however, the theory of generations and cycles is not about individuals, but the mass action of people who share an almost unconscious view of life shared more or less vaguely by their generations. The election of 2016 was wrought by Boomers who felt their power of numbers slipping away and X-Gen (larger than Boom) who feel cheated and screwed economically. Early cohort Millenials voted the opposite way generally, as did IN FACT a substantial majority of Americans. And so there seems to be a concocted "crisis" being precipitated out of the imaginings of a small cohort of Boomers whose egos lead them to believe they have the force of history on their side.
The "fourth turning," if there is to be one, will be the result of major and impersonal forces. The main forces at play at this writing (early 2017) are globalizing economics and the disparities that are all very obvious between the 1st world and 4th world economies and cultures, particularly in the 1st world the rise of computerized and roboticized modes of production and service, and in the 4th world unmanagably large populations. There are character players out there like the leader of North Korea, the leadership of ISIS, the ayatollahs of Iran, the Saudi ultra-conservatives, the rigidly obstinate ultra-orthodox in Israel, the plutocratic and revanchist leaders of modern Russia, all and any of whom can precipitate a world crisis. You should add into that mix the leadership of western financial institutions whose interests were in 2008 and now continue to be primarily the acquisition of money, then quarterly report bottom lines and to reverse the inevitable losses their Boom and early X-gen generations are feeling.
This website is not about the "fourth turning," mostly because I believe as I have written further on, that the essential machinery of the Straus and Howe theory has been dismantled by their books, but mostly by the rapid and pervasive homogenization of American and western European cultures by way of the mass media and social networks. What remains is the curious nurture cycle here and abroad. If you want to know what the authors said about the "fourth turning" you really have to read their book. I was not impressed.
Nearly fifty million Americans were born to the Silent Generation in America from the beginning of 1925 through 1942. The earliest Silent was 14 when Hitler invaded Poland. Before them were the so-called G.I. Generation and after them the Boom Generation, then the X, and now the Millennial. No generation has so small a reputation as does the Silent. No generation since the American Civil War has been so misunderstood and underestimated.
Silents are about 99.9% retired at this point. Almost no Silent commands an industry, a battlefield, anything at all. They will have mostly gone well into their retirements and off the world stage. So, who were these strange folk named "Silent," these people of whom the Great Depression and WWII demanded so much of their youth? They were an "adaptive" generation in the Strauss and Howe taxonomy. That means they were primarily pragmatic. Silent, though? I think Wm. Manchester was complaining, rather than explaining.
It was Wm. Manchester's label that stuck. Philip Wylie's "Generation Vipers" was over the top. We were not all sullen and disorderly vipers, delinquents running amok in the post-war Levittown era of readjustment. Manchester was amazed at the older cohorts of our generation, that they did not raise their voices against Communism and/or McCarthyism, that we did not seem to notice the awful racism of the preceding generations, that we were silent about using atomic bombs on civilian populations in Japan. But, of course, we were alarmed by all this, and needed to get a firm grip on the levers of power before we spoke. The world into which we emerged was dangerous, and we were not stupid.
Take a good look at the Silents: these people whose adult cohorts finally brought you civil rights, an unparalleled national wealth in the arts and commerce, and almost unimaginable advances in science and technology.
You cannot be recruited to this generation. If the Strauss and Howe theory proves to be correct, right about now a new "Adaptive" generation is forming. You might want to see what that means to you. I ask you to take this visit seriously. According to the theory presented here, big trouble is headed our way. Knowledge about generations will play an enormous part in the outcome.
On the left you will see the theory of generations as expressed by William Strauss and Neil Howe. On the right you will find lists of Silents.
Much of the information and many of the ideas in this site have been taken directly from Generations: A Future History of America from 1584 to 2069 by William Strauss and Neil Howe. Persons who wish to link to this site may do so, on the condition that they provide a standard acknowledgement at their own site of the book, its authors, and of the additional contributions of yours truly.
Heartfelt thanks to Mr. Jackson Rannells for his tireless labors in the Encyclopedia Britannica (and elsewhere) for the majority of contributions to the lists of people from the Silent Generation. Send in your ideas, please.

Why See Songs for Nobodies?
Five Icons. One Tour De Force Performer.
Don't miss a spellbinding solo performance by celebrated Australian songstress Bernadette Robinson when her one-woman tour-de-force of a show enjoys a West End transfer at London's Ambassadors Theatre for a strictly limited run this winter! Robinson evokes an old world, speakeasy glamour with her uncanny impersonations of five vocal icons, singing five of their finest tunes in five different vignettes which are woven together by fellow Aussie and playwright Joanna Murray-Smith.
With a twinkle in her eye, Robinson regales the audience with tender tales of brief encounters that bring to life the 'nobodies' of the show's title. A series of monologues brings these seemingly ordinary woman face to face with their idols, namely Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf and Maria Callas. As in the case of a seamstress who meets Garland when fixing her hemline, the show's witty and wisdom-filled dialogue segues into a Garland impression so remarkable it's hard to believe she isn't in the room!

Young mom's fears overcome at Marisol Health
Denisa's first appointment at Marisol Health was not how she imagined it.
As a nurse moved the ultrasound wand over her pregnant belly, she held a phone close to the sound of the baby's beating heart. Listening on the other end was Denisa's incarcerated fiancé.
"The feds picked him up less than two weeks before, and I went in to my first appointment without him," said the 28-year-old mother. "I told them my concerns, but (the medical staff) was very comforting. After their words of encouragement and saying he could hear the heartbeat—it made me feel comfortable."
Marisol Health, a network of medical clinics run by Catholic Charities of Denver, heard Denisa's angst.
The father of her child faced felony charges. She had an 8-year-old son, no health insurance and a high school education. Having had three abortions, and several miscarriages, Denisa worried she couldn't have a healthy baby.
"I thought maybe I had messed my body up, and I wanted to see if I could get excited or not excited–if the baby was okay," she shared a month before her due date.
She wanted to turn to Planned Parenthood.
"Planned Parenthood was my favorite place to run to," she said. "That's mostly the reason why I've done abortions in the past, out of fear of being a single mom and struggling."
She saw Marisol Health's location listed on a Google search. Marisol Health is located right across the street from Planned Parenthood. Denisa decided to go to Marisol Health for an ultrasound. She felt emotional during the appointment.
"If God gave me one more chance to have this baby, I've got to have it," she said. "It's not the way I pictured it, but it could be worse."
The compassionate staff at Marisol Health helped her make a plan. They scheduled her appointments, gave her donated clothing and suggested resources to help during her pregnancy, and after. She now takes classes at Community College of Aurora and works part-time while awaiting the birth of her child.
"When I go in, I feel like I'm the only person there," Denisa said. "If I have a bad day, I go to talk to someone. I get plenty of support. … I'm really proud of myself. I got over my fear."
In 2017, Marisol Health served 821 clients, 70 percent of whom earn less than $30,000. As part of Marisol Services, Marisol Health provides women with life-affirming medical care, counseling and social services. Learn more at ccdenver.org/marisolservices.

If your aging iPhone is too old or damaged to trade in for whatever you think it's worth, here's some good news: As long as it can still connect to a wireless network—and every iPhone from the original 2007 model to today's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus still can—there are plenty of ways to use it that don't require a cellular data plan.
Here are TIME's picks for the smartest ways to get the most out of an old Apple smartphone.
You can use your iPhone as a dedicated music player either by streaming songs from a service like Spotify when connected to Wi-Fi, or by downloading tunes straight to the device. This can be handy in any number of scenarios, especially if you want to listen to music without draining your primary phone's battery, say during a lengthy commute.
You don't need to buy an Amazon Echo or Google Home to retrieve information without reaching for your phone. You can keep your old iPhone mounted in the kitchen, either on a wall or propped up on a shelf, and use the iPhone's "Hey Siri" feature to summon Apple's voice-enabled helper hands-free. This can be useful for searching for recipes, setting timers and reminders, or simply answering phone calls when your hands are slathered in cookie dough.
To make sure "Hey Siri" is turned on, open the iPhone's Settings menu, tap Siri, and select Allow "Hey Siri." If you have an iPhone 6s or higher, Siri will respond to your requests anytime. But older models must be plugged into power in order for this feature to work.
The next time your remote control runs out of batteries or gets buried between the couch cushions, reach for your old iPhone instead. Cable providers such as Optimum, Spectrum and Verizon offer apps for the iPhone that make it possible to use the device as a remote control. If you have an Apple TV, you can also use your iPhone as a secondary remote by installing the Apple TV remote app.
And with everyday appliances getting smarter, consider the ways even an older iPhone can interface with devices that aren't your TV. Try mounting an old iPhone to your living room wall, for instance, to turn it into a central smart home switch, capable of controlling gadgets like Nest's Learning Thermostat or Philips Hue wireless light bulbs.
Just because you don't have any use for your outdated iPhone doesn't mean your children, niece or nephew won't. Turn your old iPhone into a kid-friendly handheld gaming device by downloading age-appropriate apps and games. You can prevent kids from Googling unsuitable topics or spending money on apps by setting restrictions on specific apps and services. To do so, open the iPhone's Settings menu, tap the General button, select Restrictions and tweak away.
Not a joke: the iPhone supports apps designed to entertain your cat or dog. Among the most popular is Cat Fishing 2 by Nestle Purina, a game that beckons cats to chase colorful virtual fish as they swim across the screen. If your cat prefers stalking mice, try the Mouse Hunt app instead, which similarly taunts cats with digital rodents who lure them into a chase. The appropriately-named Games for Dogs app, meanwhile, teases pups with virtual chew toys.
If you're constantly running out of storage on your current iPhone or just need a device for taking files with you on the go, turn your old iPhone into a portable USB drive. Use an app like File Manager to browse and organize documents and share them between your iPhone and laptop or desktop.
The camera inside your old iPhone may not be as sharp as the one on newer models, but it can still be useful for keeping tabs on your home and family. Apps such as Manything and Presence allow you to view a live feed of content being recorded via your old iPhone on your new device. Both apps can also send an alert when motion is detected, but require users to pay in order to unlock more premium features. These apps can be very helpful for those who just want basic surveillance, though you'll want a dedicated security cameras if you need more advanced hardware-based functionality, like night vision.
Your iPhone is a phone above all else, and it's perfectly capable of functioning as a communication device without a SIM card. Major carriers in the U.S. including Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T support Wi-Fi calling, which can be enabled by launching your iPhone's Settings menu, tapping the Phone option, and turning it on. Apps such as Skype, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp also allow users to make calls without a data plan.
If you want to document your next hike or beach trip but worry about damaging your brand new iPhone, use your old one as a spare photo-grabber. The nearly two generations old iPhone 6s, with its 12-megapixel camera and Live Photos feature, is still as good as most point-and-shoot cameras. And if you're truly worried about image quality, try using an editing app like PicsArt or Snapseed to clean up your photos after shooting.

Tolerance or acquiescence?
Anthony Gomes wrote this hypocritical dance between the rain drops piece.
Grandstanding and shouting into microphones are major parts of a politician's "tool box". And so it was with Mr Ernest Smith, JLP MP for South West St Ann, who delivered his impassioned intervention regarding homosexuals.
Apart from the forthright character of some remarks, he was doing what is expected of every MP, that is, to express his views on an issue of grave concern to the majority of Jamaicans. His apology to the Jamaican Constabulary Force for his disparaging remarks was timely and appropriate.
On examination, however, his positive direction was that numerous deviant pressure groups are attempting to infiltrate Jamaica's culture by asserting their lifestyles as normal practice. Besides homosexuals, these groups also include the pro-abortionists, the ganja lobby, the polygamists and polyandrous protagonists, the believers in euthanasia, the supporters of drug decriminalisation and those lobbying to legalise prostitution.
This is currently happening in parallel with the media concerning lewd and sexually explicit public expression, which has developed unfettered over the years until it has reached critical and culturally damaging proportions with the release of Rampin Shop. Only then did the authorities, through the Broadcasting Commission, take action. By then in the words of a prominent Jamaican: "Di snake out a di box, an you cyaan put it back" - that is, without strong resolution!
Smith said: "They (J-FLAG) should be outlawed. How can you legitimise an organisation that is formed for the purpose of committing criminal offences?" In response, J-FLAG referred to Section 23 (1) of the Jamaican Constitution that they claim legitimises their existence. But can the constitution be relied upon if their activities are illegitimate?
As the sodomy law is still in effect, it would appear that Smith's statement is not without foundation and any government that considers repealing that act would be committing political suicide. Prostitution that includes male prostitutes also remains illegal.
Smith maintained that: "Democracy, with all its freedoms, is not a licence for people to encourage criminality or otherwise conspire to corrupt public morals." The key issue is the corruption of public morals. As a Christian nation we must therefore consider the Christian teaching as exemplified by the world's largest Christian religion, Roman Catholicism.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church article 2357 in part states: "Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that 'homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered'. They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life". Further, in reference to homosexuals, article 2358 states: "They must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided." The Catholic Church, however, opposes gay marriage. It teaches that while homosexuality is not sinful, homosexual acts are, and the sin should be condemned, but not the sinner.
In a recent speech on protecting the environment, Pope Benedict XVI warned that gender theory blurred the distinction between male and female and could thus lead to "self-destruction" of the human race. "Saving humanity from homosexual and transsexual behaviour is just as important as saving the rain forest from destruction. Rain forests deserve, yes, our protection, but the human being does not deserve less."
The Declaration on Human Rights and Sexual Orientation tabled in the United Nations in December last year, as reported by attorney at law Shirley Richards, sought to expand the existing human rights concept to include "sexual orientation". The Declaration was not supported by Jamaica. Simultaneously, a contrary proposal stated that the Declaration was an "attempt to introduce to the UN, notions that have no legal foundation in any human rights instrument". There appears to be no UN consensus on including sexual orientation and gender identity as human rights. "Obviously, the power brokers at the UN are hell-bent on imposing a new version of human rights on the rest of the unwilling world. It is an attempt to assert the moral equivalence of all forms of sexual preferences and to harm moral and sound discernment, all in the name of 'human rights'."
The clamour for "tolerance" when considering the pressure groups' postures is approximately analogous with a call for "acquiescence". Historically, the world is aware of the dangers of "acquiescence" as demonstrated in 1939 by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain on his return to London, touting a non-aggression pact signed with Adolph Hitler that launched WWII, but not worth the paper on which it was written.
Mr Smith's delivery of his message was unfortunately abrasive, insensitive and overzealous. His point, however, deserves serious recognition, particularly with regard to the potential for lifestyle deviation of Jamaican youth. The difficulties being experienced with the media which necessitated prime ministerial intervention should be a caution as to a laissez-faire approach when "the writing is already on the wall".

Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class E 41 electric locomotive with three simple lamps, Schweiger air vents with vertical fins, and continuous rain gutter, in a steel blue paint scheme of Era III.
Model: The model is completely new tooling. The frame is constructed of metal and the body is made of plastic. The model has a motor with a bell-shaped armature. All axles powered. The headlights are warm white LEDs that change over with the direction of travel. Length over the buffers 71 mm / 2-13/16".
One-time production only for members of the Insider Club.
The year 1956 was memorable: Triple headlights were introduced on branch lines, there were now only two passenger car classes, and on September 29, the DB took delivery of the first electric locomotive from the new type program – an E 41. Indeed, in Germany steam motive power still accounted for 87 percent of all gross ton kilometers, but for the first time the DB bought more electric locomotives than steam locomotives. "Motive power for the structural transformation" was the message. The smallest new construction electric locomotive with a length of 15.66 meters / 610-3/4" over the buffers, 2,400 kilowatts / 3,217 horsepower hourly output, and a service weight of 67 metric tons fit this image ideally. "Light train service on main and branch lines", was the notation in the type program as the planned application – as a universal type for express, passenger, and freight trains the 451 units purchased between 1956 and 1969 worked as the successor to the E 44 in commuter service between the Alps and the North Sea. "Many club members know the E 41 from their youth as a symbol for the optimistic mood of the Sixties with its reliable design", explains Z Gauge product manager at Märklin Jürgen Faulhaber from discussions. Road number E 41 012 on the roster in 1958 was thus selected as the prototype for the exclusive Club model for 2018. "The four-axle E 41 has become legendary due to the characteristic noise generated when starting up, which has given the units affectionate nicknames such as 'Champagne Corks' or 'Fire Cracker'", reports the Z product manager. He is following a goal with the two exclusive pieces of new tooling for the Club in 2017 and 2018: "Club members can place two top units into service for diesel and electric motive power for commuter service starting at the end of the Fifties. This is in the form of diesel locomotive road number V 80 008 and in 2018 road number E 41 012." Folklore Banging and Tractive Effort Jolts The German Federal Railroad laid great value on extensive standardization of electrical and mechanical parts for the modernization of its motive power with electric locomotives. The reason for this was to minimize spare parts inventories. Siemens/Krauss Maffei developed the classes E 10 and E 40, and AEG/Krupp the class E 50 heavy freight locomotive. Henschel and Brown, Boveri & Cie designed the class E 41 with the DB. The E 41 had an axle load of 16.8 metric tons and was up to any task on electrified lines. The E 41 shared with its sibling classes the clean lines of the locomotive body welded to the bridge frame with its hollow girders as well as standardized components such as drive mechanism or axle bearings. However, there were also many departures from the other new construction locomotive designs to save costs. The E 41 thus did not have a high-voltage control installed, but rather a simple low-voltage control. The relay system had physical and acoustic effects for passengers: When the locomotive was accelerating a pushed shuttle train, the coarse switching steps in the relays caused rough pushing from the locomotive and a magnetic field in the current divider led to a loud bang when the relays were switching. Yet, these surrounding circumstances had if anything folklore characteristics and affected in no way the use of the ubiquitous units of this class with their speed of 120 kilometers per hour / 75 miles per hour.


I wasn't able to get any assistance with this on IRC, and this has occurred multiple times. I haven't yet been able to reliably replicate this, but all I've been doing is creating reports, saving them into a local repository, and opening them back up again. It may have to do with overwriting an existing KAR file, as that's what I was doing here. After these errors, attempting to open the KAR (by navigating through the local repository folder tree and right clicking on the KAR entry) causes an Open Archive dialog to pop up, rather than opening the KAR.
The behavior is able to survive an ant clean-kar and the deletion of the configuration folder, InstanceAuthNamespace, and LastObjectID. A clean-all seems to be able to fix it, though. If it occurs again, I'll try a clean-cache.
I've confirmed that this occurs when you try to save over the archive that is currently opened. Create a KAR archive and open it. Make some changes and Save Archive again to the same file. Now restart Kepler and attempt to re-open the archive by right-clicking in the components tree.
Also, ant clean-cache will fix the problem, but some sort of save vs. save as facility needs to be sorted out.
I should add that I've only been able to reliably observe this with a specific Kruger TPC workflow (I haven't really tried other workflows) and only using the SVN checkout as the Kepler local repository. This is complicated by bugs 4521 (http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4521) and 4527 (http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4527).
1. SVN checkout the workflows folder from https://code.ecoinformatics.org/code/kruger/trunk/workflows. I usually put it into a folder called kruger.
2. Copy kruger\tpc01-buffalo-tb\InstanceAuthNamespace into the kepler folder and clean-cache.
3. Add the kruger folder to the components sources list. I usually set it as the default save repository and turn off saving to any remote repository as well. This will trigger a large number of data errors, which can be ignored.
4. From the components tree, open kruger\tpc01-buffalo-tb\tpc01-buffalo-tb.kar.
5. File->Save Archive (KAR) to the same location, no semantic type. The folder not found in library error should show up on the console, as well as more data errors. In the components tree, kruger\tpc01-buffalo-tb should now be empty.
6. Restart Kepler and attempt to open the KAR by right-clicking in the components tree. An Open Archive dialog should appear.
This error seems to only work consistently with this particular setup. Other combinations of folders, sub-folders, and local repositories don't seem to trigger the error. I'm not exactly sure why.
just tried this (r22284) and it seems to be working.

Regression bugs found in Ethereum Merge updates
Ethereum Merge, which has catched all eyes in the crypto market and is said to be released in late September 2022, has now shown some bugs in their Mainnet updates Geth v1.10.22 (Promavess) and v1.14.0, respectively. Péter Szilágyi, Ethereum developer, has announced that there was a bug that caused data loss in the latest release.
Many people looked up to the Merge as a silver lightning for the ETH ecosystem however, there were some rumors regarding a two-faced scenario behind this all. Some said that the current Ethereum up and downs could be a bull trap given the macroeconomic factors at play. The bug found in the new update could be a proof to all that was said about the promising Merge.
Péter Szilágyi, an Ethereum software developer, has announced on Twitter that they have found a bug that results in a corrupted state. He explained that it was most probably one of the PRs they've merged towards the new storage model / online pruner. He also added that they are "Trying to find and fix the issue."
The bug is said to be harmful to the running node with the v1.10.22 and could lose the data or corrupt the entire database and that's why it has raised a great debate towards the effects it can have on the Merge and the price of Ethereum.
Rumors are saying that these bugs could delay the Ethereum Merge. However, the bugs most probably won't harm the Ethereum Mainnet merge with the Beacon Chain on the anticipated date of September 15.
A similar regression bug was also found in the release v1.14.0, which was fixed by the team by deciding to switch to a strict stabilization phase before the Merge.
Nethermind core developer, DanielC, has said in this regard:
"Recently we've had similar regressions in Nethermindeth so we've decided to switch to a strict stabilization phase before The Merge. We merge only fixes to the master branch currently."

Stocking the largest variety of hosiery for all types of occasions, both formal and informal, we have been recently recommended by local radio legend Rob Ellis on his Twitter feed. Weird & Wonderful also has a presence itself on both Twitter and Facebook as we find social media an ideal way to tune into our customers' opinions and feedback.
As many customers require a more tailored fancy dress experience, our portfolio includes working alongside local clubs and bars, assisting with their unique requirements for their various themed nights. In addition to this, we have worked with universities on a national scale for themed 'Pangeas' nights. Businesses have benefited too, with many staff enjoying a memorable night out thanks to our fancy dress offerings.
