From the YGB Black Curriculum: The Falsification of Afrikan Consciousness
Written by Lew Blank
Support YGB when you purchase The Falsification of Afrikan Consciousness.
The Falsification of Afrikan Consciousness by Dr. Amos N. Wilson describes the Eurocentric history of the Western world, spanning from writing plays to daily life. The book contends "that the alleged mental and behavioral maladaptiveness of oppressed Afrikan peoples is a political-economic necessity for the maintenance of White domination and imperialism."

From the YGB Black Curriculum: The New Jim Crow
Support YGB when you purchase The New Jim Crow.
The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander is a must-read on the topic of mass incarceration and systemic racism both in the modern era. While history classes may teach us that the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s "ended" systemic racism, it only ended the "Old Jim Crow."
The "New Jim Crow" is a more subtle but no less devastating form of racism which criminalizes people of color and the poor with the War on Drugs. Since the 1980s, penalties for possessing crack (typically associated with black communities) were over 100 times harsher than penalties for possessing powder cocaine (typically associated with white communities). By 2010, this was lowered to an 18:1 ratio. The government sabotaged the Black Panther Party in Southern California and has even been suspected of trafficking crack cocaine into the United States. The Reagan Administration even blocked DEA officials from cracking down on crack cocaine in order to spread the drugs throughout the Black community. And this long history of harsh and ineffective drug criminalization has led to our situation today, where 1 in every 5 American inmates are in jail solely for non-violent drug offenses.
Mass incarceration, Alexander argues, is a "stunningly comprehensive and well devised system of racialized social control that functions in a manner strikingly similar to Jim Crow." The book offers an in-depth look into why our prison populations rose from half a million to over two million from 1980 to 2000, and is a critical read on the topic of mass incarceration and systemic racism.

Trump and Sessions Sign Three Dangerous Executive Orders Against Black Lives Matter
Jeff Sessions, the Attorney General under the Trump Administration, is beginning his time in office with a stand between us and our goals for social justice. Sessions has a long history of displaying racism; he once called a white civil rights attorney a "traitor to his race" and famously said "good people don't smoke marijuana." And now, as Attorney General, Sessions is working with Trump to destroy the progress made by the Black Lives Matter movement.
On February 9th, Trump and Sessions signed three executive orders to place an emphasis on "law and order," increasing punishment for federal crimes, and cracking down on undocumented immigrants. We know that if law and order were a successful deterrent to crime, we would have a crime rate of zero. It's been well documented that the punitive practices of the criminal justice system do more to create instability than safety; and with racism as the cherry on top, our prisons are disproportionately filled with people of color.
We must stand together to oppose such oppressive legislation, and to do that, we need people power.

Staying Engaged For February
Dear YGB Community,
As President Trump plans xenophobic actions such as a border wall and a de facto Muslim ban, the time is now more than ever to stand united in grassroots solidarity to protect the rights of people of all races, religions, genders, and sexualities. That's why YGB is focusing on Three Key Areas: Understanding Black Needs, Building Collective Analysis, and Advocacy. You can learn more and get involved at ygbcoalition.org. We will also be staying engaged by showing up and showing out to the six events below that you'll want to be a part of.
Screening of "The 13th" Documentary
Thursday, February 2 from 6-9:30pm - 2312 S Park St

The film also shows how Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and other presidents used the Drug War to target people of color, expanding our prisons from about 400,000 in 1970 to 2.3 million today - 20% of which are imprisoned for nonviolent drug offenses. Click here for more info on the screening. If you cannot attend the event, you can catch "The 13th" on Netflix.

"No Child Behind Bars" Event Shows Solidarity Between Palestine and Madison's Black Community
This Monday, January 30, an event was held at the Urban League of Madison discussing the connected persecution of Palestinians in the Middle East and Blacks in America. The presentation began with an information session about the United States' imperialistic actions on the borders of the world. On the US-Mexico border, for instance, the boundary divides indigenous desert tribes, and it is common for American guards to rape immigrants and place children as young as five in detention centers for months to separate them from their mothers.
The presenters outlined an equally desperate situation in Palestine. A 16 year old activist in Palestine named Ahed Tamimi was supposed to speak at the event but was denied her visa due to "administrative review" during the Obama Administration. Tamimi's town is under threat of being changed from Zone B (under half Israeli control and half Palestinian Authority control) to Zone C (under 100% Israeli control). The Israeli government can declare any area Zone C in a heartbeat, instantaneously making people like Tamimi "squatters" set to be evicted by illegal Israeli settlements (funded with billions of American dollars). Palestinians have no right to a translator or due process, an unfair and unjust system that perpetuates apartheid.
But Tamimi is fighting back, using an advocacy movement to protect her homeland.
Further along in the presentation, the occupation of Palestinians in the West Bank in Gaza and the occupation of Black communities in America were tied together and connected to the military-industrial complex. Every year, for example, the Urban Shield convention meets near Oakland, California, where local police departments (such as the LAPD and the NYPD) meet with international militaries (such as those of Israel, the Philippines, and Bahrain) to train, militarize, and exchange military tactics. One of these tactics was a form of tear gas that was tested by the Israeli military on Palestinians before being brought to police departments in the United States. The military-industrial complex also ties in with economics, as Hewlett Packard holds info for ICE, inmates in California, and Palestinian civilians.
Today, to stop the persecution and colonialism of both Blacks and Palestinians, we must unite together against mass incarceration, American funding to Israel, the military-industrial complex, and xenophobic actions like Trumps Muslim ban. We stand for the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) Movement and Community Control over the Police, among other community-based solutions, to solve these devastating problems.
We cannot let the injustices of our community go unsolved. To fight for the liberation of Madison's Black community, please make a donation to YGB by clicking here.
Eric Upchurch: Solving Our Explicit Bias Toward Fakeness
YGB activist Eric Upchurch wrote a powerful piece for Madison365 about how we must acknowledge covert and subtle racism in everyone, including ourselves, to fix the problem. Writes Upchurch, "Everybody has a part of the problem; and that means you, too, reader. You don't have to be a slave master to perpetuate slavery."

Hanzo's Dojo Slot In Brief.
Since it launched in 2018, Hanzo's Dojo has become something of a success story for Yggdrasil Gaming. This slot frequently appears at top sites, and as many games from this Scandinavian casino software provider, it offers up a touch of originality with its features. Players will no doubt have seen many samurai and Asian warrior-themed slots before, but Hanzo's Dojo is one of only a few to feature quality 3D animated graphics and inventive gameplay.
Hanzo's Dojo offers up a 5-reel, 25-line gaming platform. However, above the 5×3 grid sits a small set of three reels. These can trigger a series of special boosts and bonuses in the game. There is no extra charge for these goodies. In fact, Hanzo's Dojo is cheaper than many other 25-liners, costing as little as 10p a game, and no more than £125 a spin. The non-progressive jackpot prize does offer something of an odd-ball number in terms of winnings (at 235x your bet), but the game is a medium-variance slot and features an RTP (return to player) rate of 96.1%.
Golden masks are handy icons to land on the reels of this slot. When wilds appear, they can substitute for any others you may need to bag a win on a payline, apart from the free spin and Hanzo Spin special icons.
Now, back to those mini-reels. These rooftop reels spin alongside the main reels, and they can dish out special bonuses as the game is played. One of the three special symbols a player could land is a 'wild'. These can drop down to cover the entirety of the second, third or fourth reels. Also available is the Hanzo Spins icons, and this promises three Hanzo Spins, during which a colossal 3×3 icon appears on the second, third and fourth reels.
Lastly, you may trigger a free spin bonus round. This can offer players booster symbols which ramp up their odds of success in the base game.
Another way to trigger the free spin bonus is to land free spin gong icons at least three times on the reels (and the rooftop reels count, too). Players will win however many free spins are displayed on those gongs. However, they will also prosper from boosters, as mentioned above. Again, colossal symbols appear on the three inner reels. The previously mentioned boosters can include an extra two spins, the ability to win in both directions on the paylines, nudging 3×3 colossal symbols, a 2x multiplier applied to wins, and a special wild reel which occupies the fifth reel in the game.
Hanzo's Dojo seems to have everything a modern slot player could want in a release. There are free spins and re-spins, there are wilds and colossal icons, there are paylines which can play both ways, and there are multipliers. Few players would require anything else, making this Yggdrasil Gaming slot one of the best samurai-themed games you are likely to find at any online casino site.

At the Blaney Rockets 10mile, Sat 21st July, Paul Allen ran a new pb of 64.40. Paul finished 13th overall and 3rd in his age category. Great to see Paul back to his best after his recent injury.
On Sat 14th July,in hot, humid and breezy conditions Siobhan Butler, Ian McGrath and Dominic Horan took part in the Day of Irish PB's 5,000m at the Le Cheile track in Leixlip. Ian ran 16:37, Dominic 17:09 and Siobhan 22:42, well done to all.

Congratulations to Ashling Smith who smashed her 1500 mtrs Pb at the GV Ryan Irish milers Club meet in Irishtown on Saturday 14th July. Ashling, breaking 5mins for the first time, ran 4.55.07 (provisional) which is not alone a Pb, by 7 seconds, but, when ratified, will be an Irish National Age Group (45/49) record. We wish Ashling well as she enters the final phase of her preparations for the World Masters T/F C/ships in Sept.
Well done to all our Bray Runners and Sli Cualann athletes who took part in the Roscommon 10ml and the Clontarf Half Marathon and 5ml earlier today. Despite the very warm conditions some fine times were recorded.
At the Roscommon 10ml, Jean O'Kennedy ran 75.30, was 14th woman home and 3rd in age category. Richard Kavanagh ran 73.34 and was 2nd 0/60. Emer Hynes, doing a bit of pacing, ran 1.40.07 and Elaine Casey ran a new Pb of 1.40.10. Mary O'Connor, running the distance for the first time, should be well pleased with her time of 1.41.22. Well done also to Laura McCann (Inbhear Mor/Sli Cualann) who, despite being affected by the heat, ran 80.25. The race was won by Mick Clohisey, Raheny Shamrocks, in 49.31 and 1st woman home was Sinnead Foran, Athenry AC, in 67.03.

In the Clontarf 5ml Maureen O'Rourke ran 46.07. Well done to all.


Sometimes us girls just need someone (or in this case somewhere) to emotionally dump. Whether it's a good day, bad day, mediocre day, exceptionally swell day or any other kind of day we can have, it's nice to share it.
So ladies... how do you feel today?
Smilies required with every post!
Today I'm very middle of the road. It's Monday. Found out one of the people on my team (contractor) who was just about to sign a two month extension on his contract has found another job so now I have to recruit someone to fill in for the two month job. On top of this I'm already very overloaded at work.
Had a catch up with best mate & played with her cute grandson (10 months).
Good day for me here. Slept well, feel good, its not raining, classes start later. Yesterday was horrible however.
I felt so tired this morning, just couldn't get enough sleep. Slept until 10 am!!!! That NEVER happens to me! Oh well, guess I needed it.
Feeling a bit fed up today as my right foot is hurting a lot.
I have had lots of treatments on my feet over a number of years for bilateral plantar fascitis & they have been reasonably ok recently.
Today my right foot feels "twisted" & as if I have had a massive cramp attack.
Guess it's probably because I have been using the bike quite a lot & combination of foot action + heavy bike boots has aggravated it.
Better start doing my exercises again!
Damn bodies... never perfect, eh? It's crazy how injuries never really go away. Goes to show we are not invincible.
Feeling great! Reminiscing about a recent ride. Packed a couple of sandwiches. We spent the day riding. Found a park bench with a great view of the water. Finally got use to the Crampbuster on the throttle. Can't wait for the next ride!
I am a bit tired today, too much training and not enough sleep... I am currently in training for the BG Energy Challenge - a 3 day sporting event with tons of running, bike riding, orienteering, strategy, etc. It's going to be a super athletic month and to be honest I'm really looking forward to it all!
I'm happy today because Mike cooked me a yummy dinner so even though I worked a bit late I was treated well once I got home.
I'm feeling a bit bummed... attempted a 10K run and only got in 5K as I wasn't in the groove... but I'm still happy I got out especially since it was sunny!
Now I can just chill out, eat leftover pizza from Friday night and watch the final race of the 2011 TT.
Yes, I am not good for much when I don't get adequate sleep that's for sure.
Wow the 3 day sporting event sounds really fun.
My day is going great! Other than my Big OW sunburn~ I just moved into a new place/Community Last week, and am finally feeling a bit settled. Not completely as the place is very small, and I need to sell some of my things to have the room to be able to fully unpack. I will be SO glad once that is over though!
I am about 50/50 Physically Im not feeling super great Meh~ , but I'm super happy because I got my permit today~! Hope to get my License On monday~!
I feel sad. I am trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I have had this feeling for a couple of weeks. I don't really even feel like riding.
I have still been doing some riding to maintain my skills but the joy is not there.
I have vacation time coming next month. I will go do some riding and try to rediscover the joy of riding.
Oh no Blues! I too am having a pretty cr@p day, can't elaborate as you never know who's watching you on the WWW but I will say it's work related!!! I hope this issue sorts itself out real soon or else I will need a REAL long vacation... Speaking of which, I have 22 vacation days to use before the end of the year. Where should I go?

Are you still in UK Sunshine?

Monday and it's back to reality. Had a pretty descent weekend. BUT the takeout joint got my order wrong and after mowing another section of lawn (only 50% done) I just wanted to put the mower away and call it a day. Can't really put my finger on it, so I guess I'm simply tired.
Yep we'll be taking the vacation somewhere in Europe. We drove to and through Scotland last March (it even snowed on us!) and are planning a trip to Ireland probably for September. We weren't planning on NE Ireland though... hmmm.. maybe a re-think is in order?
We are thinking about driving to the continent and touring as far as we can in a couple of weeks. The other option is a bus/coach trip to the same. Either way there are so many places still to see in Europe, the sky's the limit!
You lucky girl!!! I just had a four day weekend and have another one coming up but it's just not enough! Hence, I need a vacation!
I too am really knackered today. Don't think I'll be going to the gym tomorrow morning (I usually go before work). Definitely need a sleep-in tomorrow!!!

Leveraging Digital Marketing to Break into World Rankings
Bejoy Suri, Co-Founder, E-squared
Bejoy Suri is the co-founder of E-squared LLP (www.esquared.in), an award-winning digital marketing firm focusing on the higher-education sector. E-squared works with leading Universities in India and globally helping them get maximum impact from their digital marketing efforts.
Perhaps a less-understood criterion for the world's major University Rankings is 'Perception Score Weightage', that is, how the academic and corporate worlds view a particular University. In the QS World Rankings and TIMES Higher Ed Rankings, the magnitude of institute reputation could be 30-80%, depending on the type of ranking. The moot question is how Indian Universities can improve their Perception Score. The straight answer: Perceptions amongst academia and corporate will be built on how often and in what context they have heard about the University. This is where digital marketing comes into the picture.
If University wants to significantly improve 'perception' with a three-year horizon, here is a list of five strategic things it should try to focus on:
Performance Recognition
Performance Recognition: A University needs to look at how it creates a regular flow of 'positive news' for its 'Perception Stakeholders', that is, members of academia and corporate world. Some interesting research work has been done in this context, like the one by Reputation 100 Network on the type of news that can create maximum impact on academia globally. Based on this, an institute can design its content strategy for 'positive news'.
A good example is the relatively new SRM-AP University. The University's communication page regularly shares a wide variety of content covering the work of faculty members, the institute-industry interface, and many more. The key is to create a regular flow of relevant information.
Branding: To build maximum brand recall, a University needs to have a branding theme that brings out the institute's USP. The branding theme should also be consistent across stakeholders and platforms. For example, in 2019, Shiv Nadar University launched the campaign 'Change the Course'. The campaign brought out how students and faculty members are benefitting from Shiv Nadar University's focus on multidisciplinary education and research work. To know more, use the hashtag #ChangeTheCourse on social media platforms.
Advertising: Most of the Advertising money spent by institutes today is directed at lead generation, with very little earmarked for branding and influencer marketing. A University should try to set aside 5-15% of the total advertising budget for pure online branding campaigns. For instance, boosting faculty posts on LinkedIn to reach out to an audience of relevant academics around the world. Interesting research work has been done on advertising that can positively impact perception.
Social Media: Several institutes are now able to do a good job of bringing out basic posts on their Facebook pages. However, a lot more can be done to strategize campaigns across social media properties that can become branded properties.
For instance, some time back FLAME University launched an engaging campaign – #FLAMEInfluencerSeries – on LinkedIn to highlight faculty research and thought leadership.
Reputation Management: At the end of the day, the content being created, the campaigns being carried out, and related initiatives should come up on search results. When a stakeholder searches the name of the institute on Google, is the page full of links to education portals or the institute's properties on Facebook, Wikipedia, blogs, etc.? Focused SEO activities can ensure that the institute gets precedence when search results get displayed.
These set of five activities, in totality that can help an institute in creating a high brand recall amongst academia and corporate and positively influence perception rankings.

Maybe you have seen advertised "eyelash extensions" for $60, or seen at the nail salon simply "eyelash". Well, the "eyelash extensions" you get for $60 are not actually eyelash extensions. Some people call them "individuals", which can also be misleading. But actually they are cluster lashes (found at any drug or beauty supply store) that are just glopped onto the lashline with loads of adhesive. Often hair weave glue is used, but it can also be any number of different types of adhesive.
And her final new set of lashes, applied to one natural lash at a time. No clumping, itching, or breakage; easy to comb through, soft, and beautiful. *please note what appears to be a gap is just a combing issue that will disappear when lashes are combed.
Please be aware, when you go for an eyelash extension service find out if they are applied to "one natural lash at a time". The process should be about 2 hours on the first appointment. If it is $60 and takes 20 minutes, definitely beware. The problem with these lashes is not only are they unsightly (I feel theydetract from a woman's beauty, rather than add to it), they are also uncomfortable and damaging to your natural lashes. Once you spend the initial cost of a full set of real eyelash extensions, the upkeep for them is similar in cost to the cluster lashes, but with a much more beautiful result.

I'm trying to set up a host name with DigitalOcean. My domain registrar (the web interface) is not only asking for the nameservers (like ns1.digitalocean.com ns2.digitalocean.com ns3.digitalocean.com) but also for the IP-addresses of the nameservers. Where can I find them? Thank's!
It seems that the ip's for all of your nameservers are changing quite frequently. If so, does this mean that I have to keep checking them regularly and keep logging into my registrar to update them? My registrar requires both host and ip for each nameserver.
Same with my registrar, a GoDaddy .nl domain. I entered the first 3 ip's mentioned in this topic, but I guess they are outdated already.
Also ns1.digitalocean.com - 173.245.59.51 etc is outdated "already".
Can anyone at DO give an indication about the frequency of these changes? For it might give me an incentive to leave the nameservers at GoDaddy, don't feel like bringing down the server at random times due to this kind of issues.

What does a guest director do?
I was re-watching Sin City (2005) and noticed in the opening credits that Quentin Tarantino was listed as "Special Guest Director". This intrigued me, so I have a two part question (somewhat related).
What does a guest (or special guest) director do? What is their job? Like an adviser/consultant or do they just get paid to have their name in the credits?
What exactly did Quentin do in this movie, what were his contributions? And is this typical of movies with guest directors?
production casting directors sin-city
DustinDavisDustinDavis
AFAIK, guest directors direct a scene from a movie. Guest directing (for directors) is comparable to cameos (made by actors). I've seen it used a lot in recent Marvel movies where a director of a feature film also [guest-]directs a scene in another feature film. For example Taika Waititi director of Thor: Ragnarok was a guest director in Doctor Strange because he directed the mid-credit scene featuring Thor.
– ibrahim mahrir
Tarantino was invited to direct a scene in "Sin City" (2005) by his friend and the film's co-director, Robert Rodriguez. As Tarantino generally has no interest in the use of digital cinematography, Rodriguez encouraged him to film part of 'The Big Fat Kill' so that his friend would have a chance to experiment with the format, with real actors, and all the smorgasbord of features available on a studio production. Per Variety, Tarantino was "paid exactly $1" to direct the scene. This is not at all typical for guest directors. It may be considered typical of Tarantino and Rodriguez, as Tarantino paid Rodriguez $1 to compose the score for "Kill Bill Vol. 2" (2004).
The scene which Tarantino shot and directed would have given him the option to become involved in the framing and lighting of the scene (Rodriguez acted as Cinematographer for the entire film), and to get the performances from the two actors (Clive Owen, Benicio del Toro).
This is discussed on the second feature commentary included with the Special Edition release of the film on DVD & Blu - Ray.
IMDB's trivia section also includes the following:
The scene that Quentin Tarantino directed is the drive to the pits scene in which Dwight (Clive Owen) talks with a very dead Jackie Boy (Benicio Del Toro). When Tarantino insisted on a real car being built for the shooting Robert Rodriguez told him that it would be easier without one. After shooting a few takes with the real car, Tarantino realized his friend was right. Tarantino also came up with the idea of Jackie Boy's slit throat affecting his speech and Dwight speaking his internal monologue rather than dubbing it in later.
and that
Robert Rodriguez scored Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) for one dollar. Quentin Tarantino said he would repay him by directing a segment of this movie for one dollar. Tarantino, a vocal proponent of film-over-digital, has said that he was curious to get hands-on experience with the HD cameras which Rodriguez lauds. When asked about his experience, Tarantino merely replied, "Mission Accomplished".

I just got back from South Beach where I taught a communications bootcamp at the prestigious Miami Ad School, in which we covered topics ranging from social media, to transmedia planning |development and technology integration. Each class (3 hour sessions over 3 days) had anywhere from 10-15 people in attendance, and the really nice part about the small group size was that we had representation from Austria, Colombia, Peru and various places around the States, as well as friends such as ex-Razorfish master developer, Robert Murray, making for a breadth of perspective. I always maintain that we are all students in the advertising, technology and media game, and so this experience was conversational more than anything, and there is no doubt that I took away as much from the students as they did from me. I look forward to participating in future courses on "Pop Culture Engineering" as well as visiting the other great locations the school has on offer.

Muara Karang Expansion Project, Jakarta, Indonesia
The 500MW expansion of the Muara Karang power plant commenced commercial operations in October 2021.
Combined-cycle power plant expansion
Installed Capacity After Expansion
2.1GW
Construction Started
Operations Started
Perusahan Listrik Negara (PLN)
The Muara Karang expansion project involved the addition of a new 500MW gas-turbine combine-cycle (GTCC) system to the existing Muara Karang power plant located in Pluit, North Jakarta, Indonesia.
The expansion project is part of a programme by the Indonesian Government to develop 35GW of new energy to meet the increasing domestic demand for power. The new combined-cycle system for the power plant is considered the most efficient in Indonesia.
The civil construction for the expansion commenced at the project site in August 2018. The expansion project began commercial operations in October 2021.
Muara Karang power plant location and background
Operated by state-owned electricity provider Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), the Muara Karang power plant is located in the northern suburbs, approximately 10km northwest, of Jakarta, Indonesia. It had an installed capacity of 1.6GW before the 500MW expansion.
The power plant first commenced commercial operations in 1979 and is part of the 150kV network responsible for the supply of electricity to government agencies as well as some of the busiest business and retail customers in Jakarta. The Muara Karang facility was previously operated as a coal-fired plant. It was upgraded with the installation of three GE combined-cycle gas turbines in 1992 and two M701F gas turbines from Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MPHS) in 2011.
GE was engaged to upgrade the power plant's gas turbine combustion systems in early 2016. The existing turbines were upgraded with the installation of GE's 9E.03 gas turbine Advanced Gas Path (AGP) solution, which enables increased output and fuel efficiency. The upgrade also included the installation of GE's Advanced Extendor (AE) 32K hardware to reduce component wear and combustion repair costs.
Muara Karang expansion make-up
A 500MW GTCC system, integrating Mitsubshi's M701F gas turbine, steam turbine and auxiliary equipment, was installed at the power generation complex as part of the expansion.
The M701F gas turbine unit features a compressor shaft end drive, which reduces the impact of thermal expansion on shaft alignment. The rotor is provided with a simple single-shaft two-bearing support.
The turbine is protected by horizontally split casings, which enable the field removal of the blades without removing the rotor. The 415t turbine has a start-up time of 45 minutes and provides an efficiency of more than 62% in combined-cycle configuration.
Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), Mizuho Bank (Mizuho), and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) provided co-financing worth $37m for the Muara Karang expansion project. The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ (BTMU) served as the agent for the financing transaction.
Japanese firm Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI) provided insurance worth $14.9m for the loan.
Contractors involved
Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS), along with Mitsubishi and Indonesian construction firm Wijaya Karya (Persero) (WIKA), was awarded a full turnkey engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the expansion project in September 2016.
MHPS supplied the main equipment including the M701F gas turbine, steam turbine and auxiliaries for the GTCC plant. The M701F unit was manufactured at MHPS' Takasago Works in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.
The electric generator systems were supplied by Mitsubishi Electric, while WIKA was responsible for the construction and installation works of the project.
MHPS is also responsible for providing maintenance and management support services for the GTCC system by remote monitoring under a long-term service agreement (LTSA). A full-time engineer from the company is also stationed at the power plant site.

If your home is blessed with extra-large windows, Sunlux24.pl has a wide range of panel blinds which are a great alternative to curtains or shutters. They come in two types: free-hanging and screens that are joined together.
Panel blinds are somewhat similar-looking to vertical blinds, but consist of segments with a width of 50 to 120 cm that move on a multi-track rail (from 2 to 5 tracks). The panel settings can be freely modified and you can therefore individually adjust the amount of light coming into the room.
Panel blinds can be controlled using a cord or a magnetic clip. This is very convenient if you spend a lot of time at home and need to adjust the brightness several times a day. With our window screens you can get near-instant darkness, protection from the sun's rays, or brighten up your room. Window screens can be mounted on a wall or ceiling, which also gives many different arrangement options. We're sure that our panel blinds will allow you to create an original yet very stylish interior.
Our shop has a huge range of fabrics that come in all colours, allowing you to find the perfect match for your interior needs and preferences. Our window screens are primarily aimed at the bedroom and living room, although in our opinion they're also entirely suitable for other spaces, such as the kitchen.
This type of blind is also great for the younger members of the family since it's something different, and because they come in all types of colour schemes and have a wide range of patterns or other graphic options, your children will love to have them in their rooms.

High-frequency trading and other innovations have reduced costs and made the stock market function better than ever, but even Chicago hedge fund executive Ken Griffin, who pioneered and benefited from many of those changes, sees the need for more regulation.
The recent publication of "Flash Boys," whose author, Michael Lewis, claims the stock market has become "rigged" by large, high-speed traders, has caught the attention of Congress.
The value of one Citadel high-frequency trading vehicle reportedly quadrupled in recent years, but Mr. Griffin told the panel that since January 2009 it has mainly focused on more traditional buying of stocks for longer periods or selling them short. The business of high-frequency trading became less profitable after more firms started doing the same thing.
But Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., who has expressed doubts that more regulation of high-frequency trading is needed, tried to make the point that the book had no input from one of the experts in the field.
Mr. Kirk had only one question for Mr. Griffin. Holding up a copy of the book, the senator wanted him to describe what he had told the "Flash Boys" author about high-frequency trading. "I've never spoken to Michael Lewis," he replied.
"He never called you?" the senator asked again. "He did not," replied Mr. Griffin.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., repeatedly asked how buying a stock and selling it a few seconds later makes it any easier for investors to find willing buyers and sellers in the market, when those orders could be matched electronically without the intervention of high-frequency traders. But she didn't get a real answer from Mr. Griffin or the other experts who testified.
But he said off-exchange trading should be more regulated to make sure investors are treated equally and have the same amount of information about prices and volume, whether a trade is executed on an exchange or one of about 60 "alternative trading systems," sometimes known as "dark pools," set up by big banks and other large investors.
Some critics, such as CME Group Inc. Chairman Terrence Duffy, have called for elimination of dark pools.
Mr. Griffin also said stockbrokers should be required to publicly report data on how well they execute trades so their performance can be measured.

At a white nationalist hearing on Capitol Hill, GOP witnesses dispute there's a threat
Yahoo News April 9, 2019
WASHINGTON — It was supposed to be a hearing on white supremacy and the faltering efforts of the Trump administration to quell violent expressions of white nationalism. But that's not quite what took place on Tuesday morning at a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, which gave short shrift to issues like the defunding of programs meant to combat white extremism, and the promotion of hatred on social media, and instead featured Republican witnesses disputing seemingly basic facts about history both recent and distant.
One of those witnesses was Candace Owens, an activist with the conservative organization Turning Point USA. Owens — who was recently criticized for a recording in which she appeared to express admiration for Adolf Hitler — was invited by Republican members of the committee to the hearing, which comes just days after three historically black churches were burned in Louisiana.

Owens used her opening statement to declare that the Southern Strategy — Richard Nixon's use of racial fears to win over Southern whites long loyal to Democrats — was a "myth" that "never happened." That notion is popular among some conservatives, but it is not shared by mainstream historians.
Here is @RealCandaceO explaining why she called the Southern Strategy a "myth." cc: Nixon historians @rickperlstein @NixonLibrary pic.twitter.com/elAOBEXLZX
— Alexander Nazaryan (@alexnazaryan) April 9, 2019
Sitting next to Owens was Mort Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, the one other witness invited by Republicans. A close supporter of President Trump, Klein described the murderer of 50 people at a New Zealand mosque as a "a left-wing self-described 'eco-fascist' who also published a manifesto praising Communist China as 'the nation with the closest political and social values to my own.'"
The shooter was, in fact, a white nationalist who has sympathized with Trump's restrictive views on immigration.
Under prodding from Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, Klein also said media had "completely distorted the truth" of Trump's infamous comment about there being "very fine people" among the white nationalists who gathered for a rally in Charlottesville, Va., in the summer of 2017. Three people died in the ensuing violence.
Klein said that Trump was, in fact, "disgusted" by white nationalists and white supremacists. Gohmert agreed with that assessment, citing Martin Luther King Jr.
Klein also said that Beto O'Rourke, one of more than a dozen announced Democratic contenders for the 2020 presidential nomination, should be disqualified from seeking the presidency because he called the Israeli prime minister a "racist."

$$ P(z) = \sum_{j=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{j-3}{j}\right)^{j^2}z^j$$
with $z$ being a complex number, with the use of
$$e^x = \lim_{j\to\infty} (1+x/j)^j$$
Using the root test, the convergence radius is
$$R =  \lim_{j\to\infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt[j]{\left\lvert \left(\frac{j-3}{j}\right)^{j^2} \right\rvert}}$$
I tried to rewrite the expression into a form simliar to $e^x$:
$$R = \lim_{j\to\infty} \sqrt[j]{\left\lvert \left(1+\frac{3}{j-3}\right)^{j^2} \right\rvert} $$
Now it looks like the convergence radius to be $e^3$ but I am not sure how to show this in a non-intuitive way.

A: Note that$$\sqrt[j]{\left(\frac{j-3}j\right)^{j^2}}=\left(\frac{j-3}j\right)^j=\left(1-\frac3j\right)^j.$$Can you take it from here?

An encouraging bit of news was featured today on ChicagoRealEstateDaily.com, and in case you missed it, it looks as if the South Loop condo market is really starting to gain some momentum. Last July, Related Midwest announced it had acquired nearly 500 South Loop condominiums with a plan to renovate and re-market these units as the market slowly starts to improve. Although the development strategy may have seemed risky at the time, it appears as if the move is now starting to really pay off.
According to Crain's, more than 100 of those South Loop condos have been sold, and it's only been just several months since the official re-launch. Asking prices for the newly revamped condos were set between the middle $200,000s all the way up to $2 million, and although many units still remain, this is without question a clear sign that Chicago's condo market is once again strong—and apparently on fire.
Also just installed in Chicago's South Loop were eighteen artistic glass street light tubes along Congress Parkway's median, as well as 343 decorative light sculptures that bring this part of downtown to life. With reports claiming these ornate improvements cost tax payers $3.4 million, the lights aren't coming without a bit of controversy, but it's hard to argue the creativity and much-needed glamour they're adding to the neighborhood. So between a thriving condo market and some serious infrastructure improvements, it seems Chicago's South Loop is back on its way up—after the hit it took from the recent housing crash, we couldn't be happier.
For more information on South Loop condos for sale or to schedule a private showing for a home or condo you'd like to see in downtown Chicago, contact Ted Guarnero today at (312) 566-8141!
