Paul McCartney / "Ram" Archive Collection reissue imminent?
Paul McCartney fans have been made to wait a long time for the next album in his sloth-like 'Archive Collection' reissue campaign, but amazon.co.uk are now listing Ram (1971) as due for release on 29 May 2012.
Although Amazon release dates should be treated with caution, this is approximately when the next reissue was expected, once it was clear that Kisses On The Bottom was to be released in February 2012.
Ram (2012) is listed twice, once as a three disc deluxe edition at £65.99 and also as a single disc version at £37.99. Both sets are marked as 'imports' which is why the second price in particular is rather nonsensical. Once the reissue details are confirmed, we can expect a 3-disc deluxe edition with the now-familiar linen-bound book to retail for around the £60 mark, while a 2-disc digi-pack should be about £12. The simple 1-disc version is likely to cost £8. A mock-up of how the deluxe edition might look can be seen above.
• Disc 3 (CD): Either the unreleased mono mix of Ram (Mojo Magazine 'confirmed' that this would be the case last year), or Thrillington, the instrumental/orchestral version of the Ram album produced by Paul under the pseudonym of Percy "Thrills" Thrillington (previously released but out of print).
All the reissues so far have included a DVD, and it seems unlikely that Ram will break the mould in this instance. If this is the case we could see the deluxe edition contradicting the amazon listing and appearing as a 4-disc package with a DVD of unseen home movie footage and other associated videos/interviews.
So far we have had three reissues from the campaign: Band On The Run in October 2010 and McCartney and McCartney II in June 2011.
The Wings albums Venus and Mars, Wings At The Speed Of Sound and Wings Over America have been promoted as 'coming soon' since the end of 2010. It remains to be seen when we will see any of those reissues.
Paul has yet to reissue an album solely credited to Wings so far in this campaign, with Band On The Run correctly issued as "Paul McCartney and Wings", and his two solo albums obviously released under his own name. Ram has always been by "Paul and Linda McCartney".
One response to Paul McCartney / "Ram" Archive Collection reissue imminent?
About time, too! The speed at which these deluxe editions are being released is painfully slow. I would have thought we'd have got at least two this time around. Hopefully we won't have to wait nearly another year for the next one!

More people hitting the roads today
AAA Mid-Atlantic says if you are traveling, you can expect a lot of company on the roads.
Nationwide, more Americans than ever recorded by AAA, nearly 49 million, are making plans to honor the red, white and blue with an Independence Day getaway this year, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic.
That is more than 2 million more than last year.
AAA Mid-Atlantic projects more than 133,000 Delaware residents plan to travel 50 miles or more to mark the second summer holiday weekend. The number represents a nearly 4 percent increase over last year's forecast.
The Independence Day holiday period is defined as today, July 3 to Sunday, July 7.
Most of those traveling, AAA says, will be going by auto. More than 117,000 Delawareans will take to the roads. That's a 3.8 percent increase over last year. Additionally, air travel will increase significantly too. AAA says more than 10,000 people will fly to their destinations, a 5.1 percent increase over last year.
For the 41.4 million Americans traveling by automobile this Independence Day, the global transportation analytics company INRIX, in collaboration with AAA, predicts drivers will experience the greatest amount of congestion on today, July 3, as commuters mix with holiday travelers. In major metros, drivers could face delays as much as four times a normal commute. Drivers should avoid peak commuting hours altogether or consider alternative routes.
Lower gas prices compared with last summer, along with broader economic fundamentals remaining strong are contributing to the increase in travelers, AAA says. Low unemployment, robust consumer spending and rising disposable incomes are all encouraging more consumers to invest their hard-earned money in travel this summer. The expected increase in travelers this year is also helped by Independence Day falling on a Thursday, giving travelers more flexibility to schedule a trip the weekend after the holiday.
"Independence Day is a time for the much loved family road trip and this year will be one for the record books, with more Americans than ever planning vacations," said Ken Grant, manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. "This holiday builds on the strong travel demand seen for Memorial Day, and with schools now out of session, families are eager to travel."
The national average of $2.68, gas prices recorded last week are 21 cents less year-over-year and are expected to drop even lower into the summer. This is motivating record numbers of travelers to take road trips for the holiday weekend.
Locally, gas prices remain at $2.48 - 22 cents below this time last year and relatively steady less than one week after the refinery fire at Philadelphia Energy Solutions, the largest refinery on the East Coast.
"Gas prices are, on average, 16-cents cheaper than Memorial Day weekend, which is welcome news for motorists hitting the road to celebrate the July Fourth holiday," said Grant. "More so, summer gas prices are poised to continue dropping even lower in coming weeks."

Oyster holders and wallets - digital, screen or litho printing?
Terminology can be confusing, so here is some basic information about the different methods by which our wallets are printed.
Digital: laser printed - most economical for small volume, printing is up to full colour.
Screen: see this article - basically this is about forcing colours through a mesh / stencil - it does produce artwork of considerable vibrancy and intensity. Suitable for artwork which is spot colour and can be most economical for wallets printed in one colour. It allows the possibility to use coloured pvc which means the wallets can be coloured inside without the cost of an additional print.
Litho: see this - sometimes called litho offset printing, this established process transfers artwork 'mechanically' onto the required product, producing exceptional image results. This is the most economical method for large orders.

Riot has cleared their own CEO of sexual conduct and gender discrimination after investigation
Olivia Richman
An investigation has concluded that Riot Games' CEO Nicolas Laurent is allegedly innocent of hostility at work and sexual harassment.
On January 7, a former executive assistant at Riot, Sharon O'Donnell, accused Laurent of creating a hostile work environment for her after she refused his sexual advances. Laurent immediately fired off an email to Riot's staff, stating that the allegations of "harassment" and "discrimination" was "not true," not even remotely.
In one instance, O'Donnell claimed that Laurent had asked if she could "handle him when they were alone" at his house. O'Donnell also stated that Laurent made a comment about the "tight fit" of his underwear and made demeaning comments about women. He also limited her responsibilities and opportunities at Riot, resulting in a termination. The defendant wrote that this type of language could not be found in any emails or texts between the two.
The special committee that reviewed the situation included three people from Riot's board of directors. This included Harvard Business School professor Youngme Moon, and two male C-Level executives from Tencent, which owns Riot Games. Their names were not shared. The committee concluded that there was no evidence that O'Donnel was harassed, discriminated against, or retaliated against by Laurent.
That means there will be no actions against Laurent.
This happened shortly after Alienware decided to withdraw its partnership with Riot Games. The gaming hardware company cited Riot Games' public image, including the allegations against Laurent. Of course, this isn't the first time that Riot Games has been accused of sexism in the workplace. It's just the latest of many allegations against high-level male employees, which resulted in female employees (past and present) being rewarded compensation.
Said special committee members: "This is not a recommendation we take lightly. In cases involving high-ranking executives, we recognize that power dynamics can often give rise to behaviors and biases that infect the experiences of others within the organization in toxic ways. [...] Most cases of this nature are not black and white; they fall into the gray. However, this was not one of those cases. In this case, we were simply unable to find any evidence that would justify a sanction of any kind against Laurent."

In 1993 a Ministerial Decree designated much of the iconic Jura mountains as a National Natural Reserve of the High Jura (Réserve naturelle nationale de la Haute Chaîne du Jura – RNNHCJ) of nearly 11,000 hectares, thus creating one of the most extensive Natural Reserves in mainland France. It encompasses the easternmost range and both the narrowest and the highest point of the entire mountain chain.
Rising in elevation from 580 to 1,720 metres, the Jura Natural Reserve offers a stunning diversity of plants and animals. The varied and rich terrain harbours species which are both remarkably beautiful yet fragile.
Throughout the seasons, the Reserve welcomes naturalists and outdoor enthusiasts of all sorts, while still accommodating the traditional occupations of high pasture farming, forestry and hunting. To ensure the future of this ecologically sensitive area and its time-honoured way of life, visitors are asked to comply with the regulations in force.
We all bear responsibility for preserving this unique landscape, so we ask you to please remain on the marked paths, leave dogs at home and park cars in designated areas. Following these simple steps will enable us all to safely enjoy the Jura's myriad natural attractions and wonders.

Jaq Chartier
Slow Color
February 24 – April 2, 2011
Selected Works Press Release Press Back
Morgan Lehman Gallery is pleased to present Slow Color, an exhibition of new works by Jaq Chartier.
The title Slow Color refers to Jaq Chartier's creative experience in her studio. Her signature works employ a formulation of intense, deeply saturated inks, stains and dyes developed to permeate pure white surfaces. Where traditional artist paints are formulated to be stable and controllable, stains are capricious and easily influenced by a number of factors. Even after years of study, Chartier remains intrigued by the underlying chemistries of these materials.
Each piece begins as an actual "test" to explore some aspect of her materials. Inspired in part by scientific images of gel electrophoresis, the paintings feature intimate views of materials, and document how they react to one another, to light, and to the passage of time. Some of the more complex paintings such as Large Spectrum Chart serve as reference guides in the studio, with many small notations written directly on the surface to help Chartier survey the actual data contained there. These notes are one of the physical forms that she uses to display the parallels in her work between scientific and artistic exploration.
The paintings in this body of work are reminiscent of slow-motion performances, gradually changing as the materials continue to interact on a microscopic level. Halos of effusive color emerge where one component in a stain has drifted away from its moorings, creating edges that seem to levitate. These works are curiously beautiful with inflamed, infectious-looking, energies that we can't see, and colors that suggest something outside of our ordinary world.
Sun Test: 40 Whites is an example of a long, ongoing color study charting the changes in a group of white spray paints spanning the course of 6 years. Like most painters, Chartier was educated to use archival materials and "proper" painting techniques, and this practice was the original motivation behind her "sun test" series – as a way of sorting out fugitive materials from those that are light-fast. But instead of discarding such materials, she has found herself attracted to them, drawn by the additional layer of complexity that such changes suggest, and by the very notion of impermanence.

As dental procedures have evolved through research, understanding, and technological breakthroughs, the need to extract, or pull, teeth has been lessened. However, there are still instances in which your cosmetic dentist in the Ewa Beach and Kapolei area, Dr. Kern Agader, may still recommend an extraction. Although every situation is unique, the following signs are an indication that an extraction may be needed.
A toothache doesn't always mean you need an extraction, but you'll want to contact your Kapolei dentist any time you're experiencing dental pain that doesn't resolve within a couple days. Decay that goes untreated can advance into the inner parts of a tooth, which contains nerve endings that can cause lasting sensitivity and pain. Damage to the tooth can also cause pain to develop. If your tooth has cracked past the gum line into the roots, chewing or biting down can be very uncomfortable. In these cases, extraction may be necessary.
Tooth loss can accompany advanced gum disease, known as periodontitis, due to the breakdown of gum tissue and bone density. If you're diagnosed with periodontitis, your cosmetic dentist serving the Ewa Beach and Kapolei area may choose to extract teeth that are at risk for loss to prevent infection and promote healing.
When a person's teeth are too large for their mouth or have grown into the improper place, overcrowding may occur. This makes brushing difficult and is a hindrance to orthodontic procedures. For this reason, Dr. Agader may extract one or more teeth to help make room for the shifting caused by braces. These extractions are typically molars and won't be seen when you smile.
If you're in the Ewa Beach and Kapolei area, call Dental Perfections to make an appointment for a tooth extraction or any other dental procedure. We're conveniently located in Kapolei, Hawaii.


I am an avid traveler. Yes. Anyone who follows me on Instagram will have noticed it – I am here and there, quite often on quick and short-termed trips as well as longer ones. But sometimes I do stay in Munich, in my tiny rooftop apartment and then, well then I pretend to be on holidays – at home.
My bed is still the same – I've been sleeping on this rather unspectacular bed for the past seven years (notice: I've changed my mattress though).

Well, until I can afford one of those beauties, I've teamed up with them to show you their wonderful new range of bedlinen. But that's not it! I am also giving away a set of this fantastic bedlinen – for one of YOU my dear readers, I have the bedlinen set 'Misty Morning' in the colour 'powder' (as seen in the last picture).

Reisessig (jap. Komesu 米酢) ist Essig, der aus fermentiertem Reis oder Reiswein hergestellt wird. Reisessig ist ein milder Essig, da er nur drei bis vier Prozent Essigsäure aufweist.

Säuregehalt

Im Vergleich zu den in Europa verbreiteten Branntweinessig, Obstessig oder Essig aus Traubenwein ist Reisessig üblicherweise milder, da er weniger Essigsäure enthält – nur etwa drei bis vier Prozent anstatt fünf bis sechs Prozent. Das liegt allerdings nicht am Ausgangsstoff, sondern an den Wünschen der asiatischen Verbraucher, die einen milderen Essig bevorzugen. Prinzipiell würde Reisessig bei gleichem Verfahren ebenso stark werden wie andere Essigsorten. Gesetzlich muss Essig in Deutschland mindestens fünf Prozent Säure enthalten, im Falle von Reisessig sehen die Behörden aber offenbar von der Durchsetzung dieser Regel ab.

Würzmittel

Reisessig findet häufig Verwendung zum Würzen des Reises für Sushi. Häufig wird er als Sushinoko eingesetzt, dabei handelt es sich um eine Reisessigpulvermischung für das Reiskochwasser. In diesem Pulver ist die Essigsäure, die selbst eine Flüssigkeit ist und daher nicht direkt eingetrocknet werden kann, chemisch gebunden. Erst beim Kontakt mit Wasser entsteht wieder Essigsäure. Ein Teelöffel reicht dabei für circa 300 Gramm Reis. Reisessig wird auch zur Herstellung von Beilagen, zum Würzen von Suppen und zum Marinieren verwendet.

Diät
Reisessig wird häufig (wie Apfelessig und noch einige andere Essigsorten) zum Abnehmen und Entschlacken empfohlen. Reisessig regt wie herkömmlicher Essig die Verdauung an, ist dabei aber milder im Geschmack.

I've tested syncing on my MacBook Pro and also charging with an Apple wall charger and both worked just great. The dock doesn't come with any cable, so you need to use an original lighting USB cable which you connect on the back of the dock.
I tested the unit to charge it with a non original cable and it worked, but this cables won't work with an Apple computer to Sync data.
The best of all is that the dock costs just USD 11 and with free shipping to most parts of the world!!! Here you can find the direct link on Aliexpress to purchase it.
UPDATE August 2014: Since the latest update of iOS, I am starting to receive alerts that the accessory is not compatible with the phone. So it was good till it lasted. After a long search, I decided to try out the Everdocks docks, I received them some days ago and I will write a full review about them soon.

Meet Dr. Eric J. Barron, Penn State's New President
By Grant Brown
Penn State has a new president. Though we'll have to wait until Monday to officially meet him, Onward State broke the news that Dr. Eric J. Barron, the current president of the Florida State University, will succeed Rodney Erickson as Penn State's 18th president.
Originally from Lafayette, Indiana, Barron earned his undergraduate degree with honors from Florida State University, receiving a B.S. in geology in 1973. He later received his master's and doctoral degrees in oceanography from the University of Miami in 1976 and 1980, respectively.
From 1986 to 2002, Dr. Barron was employed by Penn State where he was a professor of geosciences, director of the Earth System Science Center, director of the EMS Environmental Institute and dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences.
Barron served as dean of the newly formed Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin from 2006 to 2008, and was the director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, from 2008 to 2010.
On February 1st, 2010, Barron became the president of FSU, and in his time there he oversaw a $1 billion dollar capital campaign, and spearheaded efforts to accommodate student-veterans with the establishment of a Veterans center. During his tenure, Florida State was named one of the two pre-eminent universities in the state of Florida, as well as earning a U.S. News & World Report ranking as the most efficiently operated university in the nation.
Throughout his career, Barron has served as chairman for numerous committees in service to the U.S. government, including the ASA Senior Review for the Earth Sciences in 2005. As well as having testified before Congress, he has chaired committees and panels of the National Research Council since 1987 and currently chairs "An Ocean Infrastructure for U.S. Ocean Research in 2030."
Barron has stated he is committed to the full spectrum of academic disciplines, saying he is "an ardent supporter and advocate for the full spectrum of excellence in the arts and humanities, sciences, law, business and medicine."
Through his professional career, Barron has received many awards through research, as well as a scholar and renowned lecturer. Additionally, he has been an editor or member of editorial boards of numerous academic journals, as well as having works published himself. Dr. Barron is a fellow in the American Geophysical Union, American Meteorological Society, American Association of the Advancement of Science, and the Geological Society of America.
Barron is married to his wife, Molly, and has two grown children and one grandchild.
The Board of Trustees are expected to approve the hire Monday morning before a public announcement at noon. Barron will replace current Penn State President Rodney Erickson, who is set to retire by June 1, but may retire early with this announcement.
Grant is the Internal Manager for Onward State, and to be entirely honest we're not quite sure what that means. When not OnwardStating, Grant spends way too much time in the student government (UPUA) office, making failed attempts at being funny, and playing music loudly in open, public forums.
Fun and games 🌨☃
It's a snow day! ☃

Last year's WWE 2K15 left a lot of long time fans pretty unhappy with the game. It seems any time a yearly series makes the jump to a new platform they seem to leave out half of the regular features. In WWE 2K15 you couldn't even make female wrestlers. We are about a month away from the new WWE 2K16 and it looks like most of the things that were cut are coming back. Created female wrestlers are back, there are 100 save slots for created wrestlers, and their My Career mode looks drastically improved. You might even say this a New Day.
Xavier Woods even manages to mention his wonderful Up, Up, Down, Down youtube channel. I skipped last year's game but I think I'm back aboard the hype train. WWE 2K16 will release on October 27th. Pre-ordering will net you a Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator character. No other DLC has been announced at this time, but there will most likely be a Season Pass.


In the fortnight or so since I last posted pictures of Rothera Point the weather's been cold enough and calm enough for the sea ice to form. Just before midwinter our intrepid GAs drilled the ice around the point and proved it to be more than thick enough to walk on, so on the Friday of Midwinter's week we all had sea ice training. Most of it is common sense – you face two risks, one of falling through a gap in the ice and getting wet (unlikely) and the other of the whole lot breaking up and blowing out to sea with you on it(also fairly unlikely). The latter is a particularly nasty way to die slowly, so the travel regulations say that you don't go on the ice in windspeeds of over 10 knots unless the ice has survived a strong blow. The former happens sometimes, so you wear synthetic clothing instead of cotton (cotton is more breathable, so we wear it for travel on land, but it doesn't keep you warm if it gets wet) and a harness belt around your waist. You carry an ice axe, some piton-like things called "warthogs" and a throwline, and share a bag of emergency dry clothing with your partner – as you don't go on the ice alone.
Having done all this, and having reported on the radio that you're going on the ice, you just walk calmly off the beach, taking care around the tide-crack that forms where the ice meets the land, and go and stroll around. Walking up to icebergs is quite a novel experience, although you have to watch as they tend to have big cracks close to them.
Well, our midwinter celebrations are nearly over, and we'll be back at work on Monday morning. In many ways, this is the week we've been looking forward to since we came South, and it hasn't disappointed. For the last month or more people have been scurrying between the various workshops on base (the Chippy Shop, the mechanical workshop and the Sledge Store) frantically and furtively manufacturing a gift for one other lucky base member to receive on Midwinter's Day, so Mark the carpenter and the mechanics and GAs have been busy teaching various novice craftspeople how to use saws and sewing machines and many other tools.
I ran late with my present (although not as late as some!), partly because of hurting my back sometime in May – I'm fine now – and I was concerned that my project, a wooden director's chair, was a bit ambitious. Anyway, it was all finished and ready a day or two before the Big Day.
After that, it was on to the Bonner Lab (a scientific theme, naturally!) and then to Giants "no frills" bar, the Chippy Shop's "World of Sport" and then the newly-refurbished Garage Office and the Met Team's "Spirit in the Sky", which had a novel bar carved out of a snowdrift that had formed behind an external door. Finally people staggered into the surgery, rebranded as the "Plastered Penguin" for some medic-themed drinking games.
Saturday was mostly spent recovering! Other entertainments put on during the week included a pool competition, a darts match against Bird Island (we lost) and the Rothera Midwinter Olympics – featuring slalom skiing (I was slow, but not the slowest), ice climbing and skidoo trials-riding. Midwinter's Day itself follows a fairly traditional formula – it began with Tim (the winter Base Commander) bringing people tea and bacon butties to their rooms, and then people gradually surfaced and gathered in the dining room for a light lunch. After lunch we settled into the bar to watch The Thing, a 1982 film in which an Antarctic base (a US one, naturally) gets destroyed by a shape-shifting alien creature which kills the base staff one by one. This isn't nearly as horrifying as it sounds, as a) the world of violent film special effects has moved on a long way since 1982 and b) the film is full of little inaccuracies that make you laugh. In particular, the fact that the base has a flamethrower (obviously!) and a big rack of rifles near the main door, and that the base commander wears a pistol with a belt full of bullets (which he uses to shoot a Norwegian pilot in the opening scene). Also, they go out in some "bad weather" which looks like a windspeed of no more than 20 knots!
After the film ended, we gathered in the bar to distribute the presents. As it happens, Soup and I were the last two people left after everyone else had drawn names from the pot, so we exchanged gifts. He received the director's chair, and I got a rather fine hammock, made from ventile tent-fabric, which I'll rig up on the Ops Tower balcony in the summer for those no-flying days!
Then came the Midwinter Broadcast – which is a special programme put on for BAS by the BBC, and which contains mostly messages from people's family and friends back home. Even though we all make phone calls home, it's still very emotional hearing your family talking to you over the crackly HF radio.
After all that the later part of the week was a bit subdued – we had some sea-ice training on Friday (of which more later) and then on Saturday Lowri and Tom S had organised a Murder Mystery dinner party, which had a 1960s theme. I had to be a snobbish and patronising wine critic (some might say that didn't require any acting!) and found out that I was the murderer… shock horror!
On Sunday night we rounded off the week by skiing down the ramp by the light of torches and out-of-date distress flares, and had a barbecue on the beach, which was more successful than we'd anticipated, despite the temperature being -18.
Not the Great Polar Workers Strike of '06, but the Rothera midwinter barbecue!
It's turned colder and calmer in the last few weeks, which has given us lower temperatures (routinely lower than -10, and down to -18 as the lowest so far) and some interesting weather effects. The prettiest of these is rime ice – ice crystals that form on exposed surfaces. With the right weather conditions these can get pretty big.
The most striking place that rime ice forms is on our masts and antennas. In extreme cases the weight of the ice can cause them to collapse, but it this stage it just shows them up clearly against the dark sky, allowing them to be easily photographed!
Lots of my radio-buff friends have asked to see pictures of the antennas, so here they are – and they're unusually pretty!
This is a general view of the masts on the South end of Rothera Point. From left-to-right we have the large VSAT dome (which provides our satellite internet link) and behind the "East-West" wideband dipole array, which is used for aircraft and field party communications in the summer. The smaller dome is the ARIES system, which receives weather satellite pictures. At the far right of the picture is the non-direction beacon (NDB) which is an aeronavigation aid – it works on a low frequency (136kHz) and so the transmitter is a radiating tower with a large earth mat.
The low masts in the foreground carry feeder and power cables strung on catenary wires to the main antennas and to a couple of scientific instruments on the point. The dark mast to the left of the NDB is the base flagpole, showing that it's completely calm day.
The East-West antenna from other side.
Yes, the general excitement over the World Cup even reaches to Rothera. We have about half-a-dozen committed football fans on base, so we're expecting a lot of discussion of Rooney's metatarsal and the offside rule for the next month or so.
Thanks to the magic of the internet (and the committed efforts of my former housemate Steve) we were able to watch the England-Paraguay game last night, after a tense day of threatening to tell the fans the score (one-nil, in case you hadn't noticed).
The other thing that happens with this kind of major event is that the media get interested. A phone call from the Press Office – do you have a St. George's flag? Yes, we do. Can you take a picture with some people, a flag, and some icebergs to send to The Sun?
When the paper came out, we found that they'd cropped Richard Hall out of the picture, much to many people's amusement!
Last night we had a calm clear evening with a full moon, so on the spur of the moment a whole bunch of us piled into the Sno-Cat and went skiing! It was eerie, skiing in the half-light, but the snow surface was lovely and the visibility surprisingly good.
I took some pictures, mostly of people mucking around sliding down the windscoops – although they're very grainy and a bit blurred as the camera was on ISO 1600 and a long shutter speed.
We're now down to about two hours of usable daylight, which makes the sky go interesting colours with the low sun. We get some stunning cloud formations, too.
When you get a nice day, it's good to go around the point at lunchtime and take some pictures!
This is a month or so late – I've only just found the pictures!
Every week if the weather's good, Helen (who's the Marine Assistant) goes out in one of our small inflatable boats (named Discovery by last year's boatman Andy Wilson, but known to everyone at Rothera as the Flying Mattress as it's rather saggy!) to do a CTD cast and some water sampling.
CTD stands for conductivity-temperature-depth and is a standard measurement made all over the world by physical oceanographers. The probe measures its own depth by measuring water pressure, and then measures the water temperature and conductivity (which tells you how salty the water is) continuously whilst you winch it up and down through the water.
I got a morning's trip out on the boat with Helen and Richard to lend a hand, as our boats are fitted with a mechanical winch, and winding 500m of cable out and back takes a lot of effort!
Whilst we're out doing the CTD, we also take water samples at different depths, which are then analysed and sent back to researchers in Cambridge and at universities all round the UK. The scientists are looking at variations in trace metal content in the water, and seeing how this changes with water temperature so that it can be used for further studies on climate change.
Going out in a small boat is good fun if you get a nice day (and if it isn't a nice day, you don't go!) but you also get see some of the aquatic wildlife in their element – we saw a curious seal nose around the boat and take a good look at us, and other CTD crews have seen whales come close to the boat, which is both exciting and a touch scary!
The other morning (Tuesday, I think) my radio crackled into life – "Rothera Base, Rothera Base, this is Lawrence M Gould" – which was somewhat of a surprise. The L M Gould is an American research ship, and they explained to us that they do a winter science cruise on the upper part of the Peninsula, but had come further south this year as they could see from satellite pictures that there was no sea-ice. They've been hanging around in Ryder Bay yesterday – we could see their lights from the base – but despite our invitation they haven't dropped in for a cup of tea or a beer. I'm sure they've got a busy scientific programme to stick to!
On Friday night we played darts against Halley – by the magic of VoIP phones and webcams, we were able to see and talk to our colleagues at Halley, and confess that we had temperatures of +4 degrees, whilst they had -38 outside!
And they beat us at darts, but only just. We already have fixtures lined up with Bird Island, King Edward Point, and our American neighbours, Palmer.
Traditionally, bases played darts over the radio, which required a certain degree of honesty. Damoy station (a British transit station north of Rothera) once won an inter-base radio darts competition some years ago, for which the prize was a keg of beer. When their beer was delivered, they confessed that they didn't actually have a dartboard!


With online sales on the rise and the spotlight on performance, Internet retailers must deliver the goods this holiday season to seize a sizable opportunity and avoid irreparable damage to customer loyalty.
Success hinges on a well-planned logistics engine with services on which customers can rely, including on-time delivery, accurate shipping, hassle-free returns and impeccable customer service.
Many online retailers are not skilled in developing back-end infrastructure, and these investments can be costly. A third-party logistics provider can offer end-to-end support with automated order-management processes, outsourced fulfillment capabilities, warehousing services, customer care and complete returns management.
Even many click & mortar retailers traditionally viewed as experts in large-scale distribution are looking to third-party providers to handle single-item purchases made through their online marketplaces.
For example, Wal-Mart, a company with possibly the most envied logistics systems in retailing and a history of in-house distribution, is outsourcing order fulfillment for online sales to a top third-party distribution and fulfillment company for their dot-com businesses.
An example of an e-tailer that planned well for the holidays last year is buy.com, a leading Internet superstore. Backed by our company, IM-Logistics, the logistics engine of wholesale technology distributor Ingram Micro, buy.com enjoyed an impeccable record of 99.9 percent accuracy for the computers, software and peripherals sold on the site during the past holiday season. This quarter, we are also fulfilling CE products for buy.com under an expanded agreement signed this past June.
Using a seamless e-commerce connection, buy.com's site connects directly to our internal inventory management system, providing buy.com with real-time order-management capabilities and the support needed to offer a rewarding customer experience.
Explore the logistics providers' capabilities for customization and accuracy in handling small orders. Internet retailing is forcing traditional fulfillment systems to accommodate smaller orders, which require individual packing and small-parcel delivery.
Having an Internet-enabled logistics provider is paramount to your success. Be sure to do your research. Several options are available in the marketplace, and it is important that you select a logistics partner that can easily interface with your business systems.
Integrate a returns management system into your logistics engine. Returns can be costly, and efficient operations can mitigate risks while satisfying customers.
Make customer care a priority. No matter how sophisticated or state-of-the-art your infrastructure, a helpful voice at the other end of the line is the first line of defense with an unsatisfied or inquisitive customer.
Look for scalability. Online retailers need partners who can scale to meet customer demand. When retailers are successful at bringing more and more customers to the door, they need a logistics partner who can get more and more product out of the door. Ask about efficiency in meeting increased order volume and look for past performance records during the holidays.
Michael Terrell is senior VP/general manager of Ingram Micro/IM-Logistics, which offers end-to-end logistics services to manufacturers, e-tailers and brick & mortar retailers selling online. For more information, contact marketing director Shelley Mager at (714) 382-4869 or e-mail her at shelley.mager@ingrammicro.com.

Retail giants exploit their workforce in order to achieve a fast and cheap distribution and high consumption of clothing. Using cheap labour in places such as Bangladesh, Cambodia and Indonesia where fair working laws are easily swerved, garments can be mass produced for a fraction of the price. It has been said that this type of employee can at most cost $12 a month in wages. Taking into consideration that they work up to thirteen hours a day with no breaks.
With an abundance of cheap clothing, individuals are buying unnecessary amounts, wearing it a handful of times and then discarding it. This means that more clothes are being produced, and consumed without a real value on behalf of the consumer.
Fast Fashion is the process of imitating trends and styles from the big name designers on the runway. These are often utilised by fashion conscious individuals at a low price.
Although this enables one to access fashion cheaply, it holds a negative effect to the environment and for those creating the garments.
Fast Fashion can produce up to eleven different collections a year, against the standard two of a fashion house. These collections can have a turn around time of just two weeks from paper to production and retail.
And still have a very small price tag. It is surprising to see how this system is still conceivable. Fast Fashion is possible because of its evident unethical technique.
Slow fashion aims to decrease the speed of production, consumption and disposing by placing greater appreciation on one's purchase. Carefully considering an acquisition, connecting with clothes instead of having just another addition to the wardrobe which may be only worn for one occasion.
Slow Fashion considers the materials used, how the garment is made and who is making it, in order to be ethical without compromising on quality.

Microsoft Surface Launch Event: Surface Laptop Studio, Surface Pro 8, And Much More
By Mohammad Ibrahim
Almost a decade ago, Microsoft astounded the masses with their first Surface hybrid tablet that had a detachable keyboard. Prior to the first Surface launch, Microsoft was primarily known as a software company. However, they did have one earlier venture into the tech world. The infamous Windows-based Microsoft Lumia phones. Nonetheless, they never really took off.
Fast forward to the present day, and Microsoft is a tech hardware veteran, creating excellent Surface Laptops, tablets, and desktops.
Today, Microsoft launched a few major and some minor updates to the Surface lineup. They introduced the new Surface Laptop studio, modernized the Duo line with Surface Duo 2 while adding a new processor to the Surface Go 3. And the Surface Pro X now has a WiFi-only model. Also, Microsoft also introduced a new Surface Slim Pen 2 that will be the first stylus that has integrated haptics. To top it all off, they have created a mouse using ocean-bound plastics.
Surface Laptop Studio beats the Surface Book 3 by a mile. It has a sleek and modern design, with a 14-inch size, and supports a three-position display. However, there's always room to nit-pick. The non-removable memory and the Microsoft service center-only storage upgrade are a bit of a downside. In comparison, the laptop still looks promising.
Surface Pro 8 and Surface Pro X
The Surface Pro, Microsoft's premier Surface series, is now a resounding 13 inches and has a better overall performance score. You can also purchase a cover that can support and wirelessly charge the new Slim Pen 2.
The Surface Pro X also has a Wi-Fi-only model now.
The Surface Duo 2 now supports three rear cameras, along with the same previous phone/tablet type dual-screen. The hype for this isn't as high as the rest of them.
The Surface Go is Microsoft's most affordable and smallest device. The third generation supports faster chips and still remains priced at 399$.
Surface Slim Pen 2
Microsoft's brought their "A" game when it came to the Slim Pen 2. It has integrated haptics to give the user a more paper-like touch. Also, it supports a sharper nib and Zero-Force Inking, which improves responsiveness. Oh, did I mention? It also has wireless charging.
Following the current positive trend of Planet conservation, Microsoft launched their first product created using ocean-bound plastics. The Ocean Plastic Mouse is a promising step towards an increase in sustainability practices.

Eight emerging researchers nationwide who are working to expand knowledge on generosity over the course of a lifetime have received grants from the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. Generously funded by the John Templeton Foundation, the grant program will identify and capture bold ideas and innovations in the social sciences and the arts and humanities that shed light on what it means to live generously and transmit generosity to others.
"By nurturing emerging scholars in this field and encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration, this program will further develop both the breadth and depth of information devoted to generosity and generous behaviors," said Una Osili, Ph.D., director of research for the school.
The funded projects address three big questions: 1) Can virtuous habits be cultivated? 2) How is generosity related to character, thrift, and creativity? 3) Can cutting-edge scientific work and reflective expression promote individuals' practice of generosity?
Imaginative Innovations in the Arts or Humanities—The Imagination of Living Generously projects aim at creating imaginative works that encourage reflection on generosity for individuals at different stages of their lives. Innovators will stretch their imaginations, encouraging creative work (e.g., writers, film-makers, video game designers, musicians, historians, theologians, and philosophers) to illuminate the imagination within the science. Their work will be a catalyst for change by reducing the barriers that often exists between generosity science and the novel ways it can be communicated.
Original Social Science Research—The Science of Living Generously projects will provide research on generosity's consequences for well-being and satisfaction. These scholars are encouraged to expand use of data from several key Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) modules, including the school's Philanthropy Panel Study.
Patricia Herzog, Ph.D. (Sociology), of the University of Arkansas, and her team will conduct a study titled "Emerging Leaders Study – Intervening in the Social Science of Life-Course Generosity." The team will use a quasi-experimental design to address the question, "Can cutting-edge scientific work and reflective expression promote individuals' lifelong practice of generosity?" The team is interested in learning whether increasing online learning and engagement with social scientific research on generosity studies results in greater generosity.
Larisa Heiphetz, Ph.D. (Psychology), of Columbia University, will conduct a study titled "The Relationship between Generosity and Moral Essentialism," the extent to which goodness is perceived as innate, unchanging, and biologically based. Her research will test whether moral essentialism causes generosity and whether past generosity leads to future generosity. It also will examine moral essentialism across development.
Sarah Schntker, Ph.D. (Psychology), of Fuller Theological Seminary, will conduct a study titled "Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself (and as Thy In-Group): Examining the Effects of Moral Intuitions and Intercessory Prayer on Generous Behavior toward Religious In-Group and Out-Group Members." Using experimental techniques, she and her co-investigators will study the effects of intercessory prayer on generosity expressed towards people in the same and in different faith traditions. Intercessory prayer is hypothesized to increase generous giving, and praying for the out-group is expected to increase out-group giving.
William Chopik, Ph.D. (Psychology), of Michigan State University, will conduct a study titled "The Dyadic Mechanisms Linking Generosity to Health among Older Couples." By examining the origins of generosity within couples and using individual and partner personality assessments, his study will shed light on how aspects of the social environment increase generosity, which can improve the health and happiness of older adults.
Molly Maxfield, Ph.D. (Psychology), of the University of Colorado Springs, will conduct a study titled "Examining the Roles of Age and Death Awareness in Generous Behavior." Specifically drawing upon Terror Management Theory, she proposes that awareness of life's finitude motivates older adults to consider the well-being of others and future generations to a greater extent than it would for younger individuals.
Marta Serra-Garcia, Ph.D. (Economics), of the University of California, San Diego, will conduct a study titled "Procrastination of Generous Acts." It will examine individuals' preferences about the timing of donations, including how patient individuals are in their charitable giving and whether they plan to donate in the future, but fail to do so.
Laura Liu, Ph.D. (Education), of Indiana University Bloomington, will conduct a study titled "Intergenerational Generosity for Civic Well-being: Preserving Our Roots." Her study will cultivate civic generosity by helping youth gain insight into how generosity is understood, experienced, and shared across generations, cultures, and global-local (glocal) regions. Elementary-aged children will interview grandparents and other community elders to gain insight into how they have understood, experienced and expressed generosity, and how they might like to see generosity re-imagined in the future. Youth will reflect on intergenerational sharing to artistically interpret and share community elder generosity stories in glocal civic spaces.

Ten Takeaways From the 2018 Dubai CrossFit Championship
Photo courtesy of Dubai CrossFit Championship
Oh good, Mat Fraser qualified
We can all stop holding our breath now – The Champ got the quickest ticket ever to the CrossFit Games and now he can spend the season "fluffy," as he said in his Instagram post. He has also stated to other sources that he will continue to compete at events, but he has not shared which ones. Must be nice to have the luxury of selection!
Age is just a number and elbow surgery is just an operation
Sam Briggs proved she's come back with a vengeance after declining her Individual invitation to the Games last year, and instead competing in the Master's division. The Engine looked strong as ever, shining where she usually does: in the capacity events at Dubai. Even a 27th place finish in the max snatch event couldn't keep her off the top of the leaderboard. Her elbow appears to be doing well enough. We can't wait to see what the 36-year-old does in Madison this year.
Everyone walked away with heavier pockets
While the total purse started off pretty high to begin with – over $600k in cash prizes – the DCC increased prizes in the middle of the competition for both teams and individuals. Can you say Merry Christmas? Fraser walked away with $100,000 after winning six out of 10 events and Briggs was $92,000 richer. Anyone who podiumed an event walked away with at least $1,000, and simply for qualifying and competing athletes received $1,500.
Willy Georges made a statement
The phenom out of France who took ninth in the Games last year looked extremely strong, despite finishing third and over 100 points behind Fraser. He podiumed in 5 out of 10 events, and has a good case for earning his ticket to the Games by being the Fittest in France.
Horvath competed through injury – and then withdrew
The second fittest woman on earth was looking extremely strong – until she wasn't. Horvath's coach was quoted as saying she felt back pain while warming up for the snatch event, in which she took 3rd at 93kg. She received a DNF during event 5 after failing to complete the parallette handstand push-up buy-in, the minimum work requirement. Surprisingly, she would come back to win Event 6, 500m SkiErg, 500m row, 1000m BikeErg, but would then withdraw for the rest of the competition.
Sam Dancer apologized for flipping out a couple times
Many were surprised the half-Dancer team Invictus X didn't perform better – none more than Sam Dancer who got angry after a couple questionable calls by the judges. According to some viewers on Reddit, Dancer's judge called him back to the BikeErg on Event 6 after mistakenly seeing the interval as meters remaining on the bike. He was also called out on Event 5 for not moving a yoke far enough. Dancer reacted by arguing with the judges and with angry gestures. He apologized on his Instagram account, saying the "Dubai Fitness Championship has been the worst experience of my athletic career."
There were mostly "I's" in the teams
Much of the team competition was simply combinations of individual times and scores versus a team actually working in tandem to complete work. In fact, Event 5 for teams was completed by one male athlete. With no rulebook to go from, event programmers have no set structure, but most competitions seem to be a little more cohesive as far as team elements go.
The superteam idea works pretty well
Team Invictus punched its ticket to the CrossFit Games, and all of its teammates have been before. Lauren Fisher, Regan Huckaby, Tommy Vinas and Rasmus Wisbech Anderson combined to beat out Team Omnicide by 47 points.
Keep an eye on Karin Frey
The 23-year-old out of Slovakia beat out several CrossFit Games veterans, landing just off the Dubai podium. She had nine top 10 finishes in events, and looked especially strong on the "put your head down and work" events – a bit like Katrin Davidsdottir. She made regionals for the first time this year, placing 7th in Europe, but we expect to see more of her as this long season goes on.
Watch your copyright violations, future events
Many online viewers across the world were upset when the YouTube live stream of the Dubai events was unavailable and blocked. This was reportedly due to copyright violations, as the DCC did not own the rights to some of the music it was playing on the broadcast. This could explain the awards ceremony music that even the emcee was mocking – better safe than sorry. Hopefully sanctioned events to follow take heed and watch what music they play to avoid angry mobs, both at the event and afar.
A Quick Note on Complaining

Taylor's laboratory at University of California, San Diego, working on a signal transduction system related to human diseases and learning other techniques in structural biology and cell signaling that are suited for studying dynamic signaling complexes.

Career and research
Ping was an assistant project scientist in the department of pharmacology at the University of California, San Diego. She joined the Structural Biophysics Laboratory at National Cancer Institute (NCI) as a NIH Stadtman Tenure Track Investigator in August 2016.
She researches the structural and mechanistic basis of multi-component kinase signaling complexes that are linked to human cancers and other diseases, with a long-term goal of developing new therapeutic strategies. Current research topics include the Raf family kinases, and the leucine-rich repeat kinases and an oncogenic PKA kinase fusion protein. Zhang's lab applies integrated structural biology (single-particle cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography) and biochemical approaches to achieve our objective of studying these kinase complexes in their functional states. This strategy is used to reveal the mechanistic details and factors critical for driving the functional activities of these kinases and how these activities may be altered in pathological states.

Ron's View
2010 Abel Prize
Just by chance, I went to the website of the American Mathematical Society tonight and thereby stumbled on the news (which I would have learned soon enough) announced earlier today that John Tate is the 2010 recipient of the Abel Prize. The prize, established in 2001 by the Norwegian government, has been awarded by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters each year since 2003 to one or two outstanding mathematicians. It is named in honor of the great, early-nineteenth-century Norwegian mathematician Niels Abel and may be regarded as the mathematical counterpart of Nobel Prizes.
I wrote about the Abel Prize last June, in the wake of an article that week in the NYT reporting on the news that three of the recipients were NYU faculty members. As I noted at the time, according to the history of the Abel Prize given at their site, the idea for a math prize that would parallel the Nobel Prizes and be named after Abel goes back to 1899, when it was championed by that other great Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie.
John Tate spent much of his career at Harvard, later moving to the University of Texas. The award is being given to him "for his vast and lasting impact on the theory of numbers." You can read more about today's announcement here and here.
I didn't take a course from Tate when I was an undergraduate, but I wasn't so foolish as to miss out on the opportunity altogether. During my third year in graduate school, I made it a point to attend his graduate number theory course, walking down to the Harvard Science Center from my apartment three mornings a week before heading over to MIT. Great course.

Batter Up
I'm ready. I know, we're in the midst of March Madness, the greatest season on the US sporting calendar. And what a four days of basketball we had last week! Plus, my own school (Washington, that is) is right in the hunt. If it weren't for Cornell's surprise success, we might be getting all the attention this week.
But — basketball is boring. Really. Okay, underdogs win. Surprises happen. But who wants to watch intentional fouls and timeouts and foul shots and more timeouts? That's exciting? I happened to turn on one of the first round games with 40 seconds left. Ten minutes later, the game hadn't ended yet. I'm not exaggerating. I timed it. (In contrast, how about Michigan State-Maryland? Joel and I were stunned that a game could still end that way. In the final 40 seconds or so, Maryland scores to go ahead for the first time since early in the game, Michigan State retakes the lead, Maryland retakes the lead, Michigan State scores to win as time runs out. Forget the time outs and foul shots. Not with one-point margins. But this is the rare exception.)
I mention all this by way of saying: It's time. Bring on baseball.
And for those of us in Seattle, let's take a moment to appreciate how lucky we are. We are about to enter our tenth year of getting to watch Ichiro. Not everyone is so lucky. St. Louis is, thanks to Albert Pujols. Who else? Who gets to see one of the great baseball players in history for so long?
How great is Ichiro? Some have argued that his impact is limited, because despite his high batting average, he doesn't walk much (so his OBP is not so high) and he doesn't hit for power. I'm certainly not going to argue that his value to a team is equal to Pujols'. But in any case, this isn't my point. My point is that in his own way, Ichiro is one of the great players in history. And I don't need to work too hard to make this argument, for Joe Posnanski has done so this afternoon in his latest blog post. A sampling:
I don't think there has ever been a player in baseball history quite like Ichiro Suzuki.
Or, anyway, there certainly has not been a player quite Ichiro since Deadball, when players like George Sisler and Ty Cobb whacked lots of hits and didn't walk much and stole bases. Sisler, in many ways, seems like a decent offensive comp to Ichiro — great batting averages (Sisler .340, Ichiro .333), surprisingly low corresponding on-base percentages (Sisler .379, Ichiro .378), good stolen base numbers, some ridiculously high hit seasons (Ichiro, of course, broke Sisler's hit record when he picked up 262 in 2004. They are the only two players to have two seasons with 240 hits).
But that's just offense. And while Sisler was a first baseman — and there has been some disagreement about how good — Ichiro is one of the most dynamic defenders of his time. You have already seen, I hope, the catch he made during a spring training game on Tuesday — it's spectacular. I have watched in about 23 times already today, and I'll probably watch it at least a few more before dinner. One catch does not define a player, I suppose … but just WATCH THAT CATCH. It tells you an awful lot about the kind of defensive player Ichiro has been for almost a decade now.
And, of course, Ichiro has a fabulous arm, the best of his generation. There will always be those who say no one can compare to Clemente defensively, and I would not argue the point. But Clemente is just a touch before my time … and I think Ichiro is the best defensive right fielder I have ever ever seen.
Batter up!

In January, after a months-long battle, Cadbury agreed to be taken over by Kraft. (See, for instance, here.) Last September, in the early days of the battle, I lamented the decline in quality of Cadbury products available in the US, such as Dairy Milk, owing to the fact that they are produced here not by Cadbury but by Hershey. Fortunately, the real thing is available in Canada. Some go there for drugs. We go for chocolate. But will Cadbury quality remain unchanged in the years to come? We can only hope.
Meanwhile, how does one put into words the difference in taste between real and ersatz Cadbury chocolate? To the rescue comes Clotilde, one of my favorite food bloggers, who wrote a post yesterday on How To Taste Chocolate. She had visited the Valrhona chocolate factory in Tain-l'Hermitage, France, last week and was reporting on what she had learned. I will provide an excerpt in a moment from her account of the lessons provided by Vanessa Lemoine, Valrhona's expert on sensory analysis.
Now I need to buy a Hershey's chocolate bar, head up to Vancouver to get a Cadbury bar (or maybe it would be simpler to drive across the lake to Redmond and stop at The British Pantry), and do a taste comparison using Lemoine's tips. It might also be appropriate to grab some Fran's chocolate from nearby U Village as a third entry.
Clotilde, channeling Vanessa Lemoine:
So next you'll place a piece of chocolate in your mouth, chew briefly to accelerate the release of the flavor components, then let the chocolate melt between your tongue and the roof of your mouth, and concentrate on your sensations.
The first component that will manifest itself is acidity: if the chocolate is acidic (which is not a fault, unless it's overwhelming), it will trigger salivation right away, and you'll feel it on the sides of your tongue and underneath it. Note the scale of this sensation, and whether it fades quickly or stays with you throughout the tasting.
Breathe out through your nose slowly with your mouth closed, and try to describe the aromas you perceive through retro-olfaction. They will appear in stages: the first ones you'll get are the fleeting, delicate notes of fruit or flower, followed by warmer notes of spice, roasted nuts, or toasted bread. Woody, malted or earthy notes will appear in the finish. Note the intensity of each aroma. Vanessa Lemoine noted that any smoky or smoked aroma in chocolate was, in her view, a defect.
Try to be as specific as possible in describing the aromas: if you sense something fruity, is it berries, is it stone fruit, is it citrus? Is it a fresh fruit aroma, or a jam-like one? If the chocolate is floral, is it jasmine, rose, orange blossom…? It can be a real brain challenge to put a name on the aroma you're smelling, but you'll get better with practice. It's helpful to conduct tastings with other people, too, so you can share impressions.
Bitterness will make its presence known toward the end, and it will become more and more noticeable and persistent in subsequent bites. Bitterness is perceived by receptors placed at the back of the tongue in a V formation (pointing toward the throat), so be attuned to a sensation in that region of the mouth: is it strong? Does it linger?
You should also note the texture of the chocolate on your tongue: does it feel dry and brittle (not a good thing), or is it lithe and fresh, or is it creamy, so creamy as to coat your tongue and the roof of your mouth?

I am thrilled to have my new book featured on the New York Times' blog, LENS, but I want to make sure people look at the moody and magnificent piece that my wife, Julie Winokur, produced as a multimedia companion for the book. The idea of triptychs that formed the book THREE grew from what was really an idea for a print. To transform that initial vision into book form took reinterpretation of the original idea. To create THREE the multimedia piece was a further interpretation of my original idea. Please take a look and if you like it, pass the link on. One of the musical pieces was created by our 11 year old daughter, Isabel, so I am proud of it on multiple levels. Watch, relax and let this piece take you somewhere else.

RantCrush Top 5: January 30, 2017
By Emma Von Zeipel | January 30, 2017
Hashtag of the day: #DeleteUber was trending over the weekend as the news was dominated by chaos and confusion over the Trump Administration travel ban. If you're wondering what that hashtag stands for, check this out. Then read on for the latest rants.
Welcome to RantCrush Top 5, where we take you through today's top five controversial stories in the world of law and policy. Who's ranting and raving right now? Check it out below:
Trump's Travel Ban Causes Chaos and Protests
On Friday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order, banning people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States. The order came abruptly and caused immense chaos at airports around the country, as people arriving from the affected countries were detained. Serious protests erupted, mainly at airports, and the move has been sharply condemned by, well, most people internationally.
It will probably have serious consequences in many ways. American academic institutions, hospitals, and businesses rely on experts and professionals from other countries. Iraq has already said it will retaliate. And an online petition in the U.K., aiming to keep Trump from making a state visit, quickly got over a million signatures.

Initially, the ban also applied to green card holders and people with dual citizenship. Stories about students being stranded after a vacation or people unable to get home flooded the media over the weekend. An Iraqi man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military for a decade was detained for 18 hours at JFK Airport in New York.
As of now, it appears that no one is being detained or held at an airport anymore and there have been exemptions for 392 green card holders who have been allowed into the country. Fifteen attorneys general have issued a statement condemning Trump's actions, calling it an "unconstitutional, un-American and unlawful Executive Order." There is still confusion over what the order will actually mean, but the courts, big companies like Google and Facebook, celebrities, and ordinary citizens are all fighting back.

SHANGHAI -- In recent years, dozens of electric vehicle startups have emerged in China striving to become the Chinese Tesla.
Who will prevail? Keep your eye on Baoneng Investment Group, a Chinese conglomerate that has acquired Qoros Automotive.
Baoneng has humble roots. Incorporated in Shenzhen in 1992, the privately held company started as a vegetable retailer, then diversified into real estate, health care, insurance and auto financing.
Over the past 25 years, Baoneng has achieved tremendous growth.
With personal assets valued at $8.4 billion (55 billion yuan), company founder Yao Zhenhua ranks 11th on Forbes magazine's list of the richest Chinese citizens.
Yao, 47, grew interested in EVs in 2015 when sales of the vehicles in China began to take off.
That year, his company acquired controlling stakes in two companies: Jonjee Hi-Tech Co. and Guangdong Shaoneng Group Co. Jonjee makes gears, rear axles and forged metal parts, while a Shaoneng subsidiary supplies electric motors and EV battery cells.
Now Baoneng is jumping into the EV business. Late last year, it signed agreements with the cities of Hangzhou, Kunming and Guangzhou to build EV assembly plants. Over the long term, the three plants will have the capacity to produce up to 1 million vehicles a year.
With its production plans underway, Baoneng still needed engineering expertise and a production license. Well, Qoros solves those problems.
On Dec. 16, Baoneng secured a 51 percent stake in Qoros for 6.6 billion yuan.
Qoros, a 50-50 joint venture between state-owned Chery Automobile Co. and Singaporean investment company Kenon Holdings, has struggled to make money.
In 2016, the company sold only 24,000 vehicles. Qoros has yet to disclose sales for 2017.
The main problem with Qoros is a lack of follow-up investment by its previous owners. There is nothing wrong with its models: a compact sedan and two crossovers.
The company's suppliers are global companies, and its first model, the Qoros 3 compact sedan, earned five stars in a 2013 crash test.
Qoros, headquartered in Shanghai, has design and r&d centers in Shanghai and Munich. It also has an assembly plant in the east China city of Changshu that can produce up to 150,000 vehicles a year.
The company also has been designing its first EV, a compact crossover dubbed Model K-EV. Thanks in part to its lightweight carbon-fiber body, the car has a range of 500 kilometers (311 miles) and a maximum speed of 260 km per hour (162 mph).
The Qoros acquisition will allow Baoneng to hedge its bets. At the Dec. 26 groundbreaking ceremony in Guangzhou, Yao said Baoneng will upgrade its gasoline-powered models -- generating some quick cash -- while it readies EVs for the future.
He also declared that Baoneng wants to become a global automaker in 10 to 15 years.
Whether Baoneng can do that remains to be seen. But the company has more resources -- and deeper pockets -- than all those venture-capital startups that have placed an all-or-nothing bet on EVs.
