Biography [1]
BASS, MICHAEL THOMAS (1799–1884), brewer, was born on 6 July 1799. He was the son of M. T. Bass and grandson of William Bass, both of whom carried on extensive brewing establishments at Burton-on-Trent.
Bass was educated first at the grammar school, Burton-on-Trent, and afterwards at Nottingham. On leaving school he joined his father in business and acted as a traveller. The opening up of the Trent and Mersey Canal gave the first great impetus to the trade of the Burton breweries, and the firm of Messrs. Bass did not fail to utilise this and other developments of modern enterprise.
Bass's first official connection with the county of Derby was as an officer in the old Derbyshire yeomanry cavalry, in which capacity he assisted in quelling the local riots which occurred before the passing of the Reform Bill of 1832. He speedily acquired an important position in the county, partly from the extensive ramifications of his business, and partly from the interest he took in public affairs, and in 1848 he was requested to come forward as a candidate for Derby in the liberal interest. The sitting members had been unseated for bribery, and in the election which followed Bass was returned at the head of the poll. For the borough of Derby he continued to sit uninterruptedly until his retirement in 1883. Bass was a liberal. He was assiduous in the attention he gave to his parliamentary duties, but was not a frequent speaker.
His personal character gained him the esteem of opponents and friends. He exhibited a lively concern in all questions bearing upon the welfare of the working classes, and in 1866 he requested Professor Leone Levi to institute a wide and methodical inquiry into the earnings of the working classes throughout the kingdom. Bass brought in a bill by which householders might require street musicians to quit the neighbourhood of their houses. A letter of thanks was j addressed to him by a number of the most distinguished authors and artists in London, including Carlyle, Tennyson, Charles Dickens, J. E. Millais, Francis Grant (president of the Royal Academy), and others. Bass also took an active part in abolishing imprisonment for debt, but his popularity at Derby suffered a temporary check by reason of his opposition to the Ground Game Act. The constituency, however, never swerved from its allegiance, although between the time when he was first elected and the last occasion when he was returned to parliament the number of electors had increased tenfold.
An interesting statement, compiled under authority, shows that the foundation of the business of the Burton breweries was laid in 1777 by one William Bass. Fifty years later Bass & Co. still confined their trade in bitter beer to India. In 1827 they began to open up a trade in this country, but no great strides were made until the year (1851) of the Great Exhibition. From this date their reputation began to spread over the metropolis and throughout England. In 1880 the firm did as much business in three days as it was accustomed to do in twelve months fifty years before. It appears that in the year 1878 they paid for carriage alone to the railway and canal companies and other carriers the sum of 180,102l. Messrs. Bass's ale stores near St. Pancras Station cover three floors, each two acres in extent, and each containing 30,000 barrels of 36 gallons of ale. The firm possess other extensive stores, as well as the breweries at Burton, which are of enormous extent and employ a staff of three thousand persons. In 1882 the average annual amount of the business was assessed at 2,400,000l., and the yearly amount paid in malt-tax and license duty was 286,000l. A calculation made in 1871 demonstrated that the yearly revenue derived from beer and British and foreign wines and spirits amounted to about twenty-eight millions sterling, being more than a third of the whole revenue, and towards this amount Messrs. Bass contributed upwards of 780l. per day.' A further compilation showed that 'the stock of casks necessary to carry on the business consisted of 46,901 butts, 159,608 hogsheads, 139,753 barrels, and 197,597 kilderkins, or in all 543,859 casks. The yearly issue of Bass's labels amounts to more than one hundred millions.'
When the agitation arose amongst railway servants in 1870 for a reduction in their oppressive hours of labour, Bass was their most powerful friend. By his instrumentality an agent was despatched throughout the country to gather information and organise plans for relieving the condition of railway servants and removing the grounds of their complaints. The facts made known led to the establishment of the Railway Servants' Orphanage at Derby.
The new church of St. Paul's, at Burton, was built and endowed by Bass. He also raised a smaller church near his residence, Rangemore, a chapel-of-ease, Sunday schools, and an institute and reading-rooms for the use of the working classes of Burton. The entire cost of his benefactions to St. Paul's parish in that town has been placed at not less than 100,000l. In addition to this, and to private charities almost innumerable, he presented the town of Derby with a large recreation ground and public swimming baths, at a cost of 12,000l., as well as a free library involving an outlay of 25,000l., and an art gallery upon which many thousands of pounds were expended.
Bass died at Rangemore Hall on 29 April 1884. He was extremely simple in his tastes and habits. He refused all offers of social distinction, declining a baronetcy and a peerage which were offered him by successive governments. As a mark of the general esteem, however, in which he was held, a baronetcy was conferred (during his own lifetime) upon his eldest son, Sir Michael Arthur Bass, M.P. for East Staffordshire.

Tribute for Foxes clash
Hillsborough remembered
As a mark of respect and remembrance for those who lost their lives as a result of the Hillsborough stadium disaster in April 1989, all Premier League, Football League, Football Conference and FA Cup matches taking place on the weekend of 11-14 April will kick-off seven minutes later than originally scheduled.
The match at which the disaster took place, the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989, was ended six minutes after kick-off, at 3:06pm.
This means that the Royals televised game with Leicester City, due to kick off at 8pm on Monday 14th April, will now kick off at 8.07pm. The game is to be televised live on Sky Sports.
Fixtures kicking-off at other times on Friday 11, Saturday 12, Sunday 13 and Monday 14 April will observe the same etiquette with matches starting seven minutes later than originally scheduled. There will also be a minute's silence before matches on those dates, held six minutes after the originally scheduled kick-off time

This 10 acre parcel is located just east of the freeway and between the I-15 FWY and Bell Mountain. This will probably be an investment for the future as the rail to Las Vegas is proposed to be adjacent to the I-15. Also the High Desert Corridor freeway is proposed to travel from Palmdale to Apple Valley near the Apple Valley Airport. Do not hesitate on this investment.

Mary is a 50-year-old woman with a successful 30-year career within a large manufacturing company.
A few questions allowed me to establish that outside of the workplace, Mary is a passionate environmentalist. She's been studying environmental issues, radically reducing her own footprint, organizing community clean-ups and campaigning for greater recycling initiatives in her neighborhood. She's been investigating the potential to work for a not-for-profit in this area or with a company that's more committed to the environment.
While many companies are spending big bucks on redefining the purpose of the organization and rolling out associated company-wide initiatives, they're overlooking the new frontier of purpose – BYO Purpose – this is where people like Mary are empowered to bring their own why to work.
Imagine if Mary were to pitch her own Purpose project to her leaders, to bring that very thing she's passionate about outside of work (aka the environment) right into her workplace? The company gets to keep a valued employee while Mary gets to fulfill her highest potential, be truly happy at work and help the company improve its environmental impact.
I wrote The Purpose Project for Mary and for the millions of people like her. I don't want them to flee their current workplace without first attempting to bring their own why to work. I also wrote it for Mary's leaders so they may consider how to lead with Purpose – at a personal level and company-wide level.
What if we all just started right where we are to bring that thing we love most and the world needs, right into our current workplace? Wouldn't that be something?
A great way to get started on Purpose is to put The Purpose Project in the hands of your people in search of meaning and happiness at work. Why not consider booking Carolyn to speak at your next event or to host a Lunch 'n Learn workshop with your team?
Check out The Purpose Project Special Offer, call her on 0412 806 950 or email Carolyn@carolyntate.co to book a Purpose conversation.

Dismal injury rates at rehab firms can possibly be lowered through wider use of available lift devices designed to reduce the physical stress and strain on healthcare workers. Michelle Kerr, a therapist with Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital's Boston Outpatient Center, says back injuries are the most commonly occurring injury among healthcare workers who transport patients.
Inside a patient's home, the functions of assistive equipment become imperative in mobility plans. Home healthcare workers or clinicians have access to a handful of affordable tools to ease transport and arranging, including circular pivot disks, which allow for proper emplacing; one-way glide cushions, which keep patients from sliding from their wheelchairs; and gait belts, which reduce risks during training courses and when moving patients.
Kilpatrick Lorio of the Shepherd Center's Specialty Care Unit in Atlanta, Ga., suggests the SAFE strategy--secure, ask, fully inspect, and educate--for transfers to reduce the risk of injury to both patient and care worker: secure the patient with a net or sling that is correctly placed under the patient; ask for help when needed, especially for clients who are less mobile; fully inspect the transfer corridor and ensure it is free of obstacles; and educate lift operators on how to safely operate lifting devices.

Q: Does strict aliasing apply when using pointers to struct members? Does test_func the following snippet trigger undefined behavior under the strict aliasing rules when the two arguments partially overlap?
That is the second argument is a member of the first:
#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct
{
    //... Other fields
    int x;
    //... Other fields
} A;

int test_func(A *a, int *x)
{
    a->x = 0;
    *x = 1;
    return a->x;
}

int main()
{
    A a = {0};

    printf("%d\n", test_func(&a, &a.x));

    return 0;
}

Is the compiler allowed to think test_func will just return 0, based on the assumption that A* and int* will not alias? so the *x cannot overwrite the member?

A: Strict aliasing refers to when a pointer is converted to another pointer type, after which the contents are accessed. Strict aliasing means that the involved pointed-at types must be compatible. That does not apply here.
There is however the term pointer aliasing, meaning that two pointers can refer to the same memory. The compiler is not allowed to assume that this is the case here. If it wants to do optimizations like those you describe, it would perhaps have to add machine code that compares the pointers with each other, to determine if they are the same or not. Which in itself would make the function slightly slower.
To help the compiler optimize such code, you can declare the pointers as restrict, which tells the compiler that the programmer guarantees that the pointers are not pointing at the same memory.
Your function compiled with gcc -O3 results in this machine code:
0x00402D09  mov    $0x1,%edx

Which basically means that the whole function was replaced (inlined) with "set a.x to 1".
But if I rewrite your function as
int test_func(A* restrict a, int* restrict x)
{
    a->x = 0;
    *x = 1;
    return a->x;
}

and compile with gcc -O3, it does return 0. Because I have now told the compiler that a->X and x do not point at the same memory, so it can assume that *x = 1; does not affect the result and skip the line *x = 1; or sequence it before the line a->x = 0;.
The optimized machine code of the restrict version actually skips the whole function call, since it knows that the value is already 0 as per your initialization.
This is of course a bug, but the programmer is to blame for it, for careless use of restrict.

A: This is not a violation of strict aliasing. The strict aliasing rule says (simplified) that you can access the value of an object only using an lvalue expression of a compatible type. In this case, the object you're accessing is the member x of main's a variable. This member has type int. And the expression you use to access it (*x) also has type int. So there's no problem.
You may be confusing strict aliasing with restrict. If you had used the restrict keyword in the declaration of one of the pointer parameters, the code would be invalid because restrict prevents you from using different pointers to access the same object - but this is a different issue than strict aliasing.

Romany is an international competitor for Trinidad & Tobago, and competed for that nation at the World Junior Championships back in 2013.
He swam his freshman season at Tennessee in 2014-2015, scoring at SECs in the 50 free (19.90) and leading off both freestyle relays. He sat out last season, competing almost entirely in long course meters.
When he originally committed to Tennessee back in 2014, Romany told SwimSwam he had taken official visits with the Volunteers, the Michigan Wolverines and the Indiana Hoosiers. He'll now make the leap from Tennessee to Indiana in the Big Ten conference.
I am very excited about this move as I believe coach Ray and the rest of the staff would help me accomplish my short and long term swim goals. I know I will be an asset to the team. Go Hoosiers!
Those 50 and 100 free times would have put Romany into the B finals at last year's Big Ten Championships.
Indiana just put sprint freestyler Blake Pieroni onto the U.S. Olympic team as a relay-only competitor on the 4×100 free relay. Pieroni was the Big Ten champ in the 100 and 200 frees and finished 10th and 8th, respectively, in those events at NCAAs. Pieroni will be a junior this coming season, pairing with Romany, who has only used up one year of college eligibility so far.
Romany will join an Indiana sprint group that has become a powerhouse – a dramatic turn from a run of years where sprint freestyle was the program's glaring weakness. Pieroni will be a junior, NCAA 100 free B finalist Anze Tavcar a senior and NCAA 50 free B finalist Ali Khalafalla a junior.
That rise coincides with the hiring of multi-time Big Ten Coach of the Year Dennis Dale, who works with the Indiana sprint group under head coach Ray Looze. The Indiana coaching crew just put three swimmers onto the U.S. Olympic team this summer: Pieroni and breaststrokers Lilly King and Cody Miller.
Probably the biggest understatement ever! Go back and read the comments about how it was time for Dennis to go so the program could "move forward". The only thing that has kept Minn even a little bit competitive in the B1G is their unbelievable diving program. It is actually sad to see, especially for swimmers like Daryl Turner. He deserves much better. If the nosedive downward wasn't proof enough, just look at iUs sprint group now! 3 Olympians in that group (Tavcar – Slovenia, Khalifala – Egypt; Blake for Team USA – splits time between Dennis and Mike Westphal's group).
200 breastroke B1G champions 2 years in a row?
Found a lot of articles with the same opinion but nothing specific about his methods or philosophy. Does anyone know anything about those? Would love to how he's been able to be so successful.
IU turning into a sprinting hub!
Hardly a sprint powerhouse. They have a few ok men and where are the women?
We are talking about the men's team, they have 3 Olympian sprinters. They have 3 men under 50.0 in the 100 free and 2 under 49.0. How many other college teams have that? Not sure, but it's not a ton of teams.
Great point, phenomenal program as a whole both men and woman.
Im asking about their women sprinters. I know the team did well and that is not in dispute. im asking specifically who/what the women sprinters (freestylers) are/did as i am stating that they are not a sprint powerhouse as posters and the article implied.
Coach Looze has worked tirelessly to get IU back to a top notch program. They will reap the benefits of 2016's Olympic haul in a major way. Expect them to move into the top 5 on the women's side for sure and possibly on the Men's side too.

Otaki becomes North Pole for Christmas Express
Otaki becomes North Pole for Christmas Express. Photo courtesy of Captured by Friday.
Sarah Ferguson, of Te Horo says she is amazed and delighted at the popularity and success of the North Pole Express which carried nearly 2500 passengers to the home of Santa Claus over the past couple of weekends.
The North Pole Express took passengers by steam train from Paraparaumu to the North Pole which just happened to materialise at the Otaki railway station.
The North Pole Express consisted of eight journeys, with just over 300 passengers on each train. About 3000 people missed out on tickets for this year's event.
Ms Ferguson says the North Pole Express will run again in Kapiti for Christmas 2018, and she is hoping to launch similar events in Auckland and Christchurch.
The general consensus from passengers was overwhelmingly positive with many saying they want to rebook as soon as possible.
Ms Ferguson says a lot of Christmas elf work had gone in to provide a little bit of Christmas magic, including securing the real Santa, but it had all been well-worth it.


It's another routine day out at sea for the fisherman, until he met a fish which seemed to be...behaving weirdly. It was throwing tantrums, making its eyes and mouth look disorderly. Why is the fish acting in this manner? And what on earth is happening to our oceans? Will the fish eventually be caught by the fisherman?

It is no secret I am a huge fan of the 10mm Auto and have carried a Glock 20 in rotation for a few years now. I am a firm believer in practicing with your carry gun often. 10mm Auto is not so bad if you reload but if you run through 200-300 rounds per match or practice session it still can cut into your beer fund.
Knowing you should not shoot lead bullets in a factory Glock barrel I called the good folks at Lonewolf and ordered one of their barrels for my G20. The mold and barrel came about the same time. The Lonewolf barrel looked to be of high quality and as speced dropped right in and functioned with factory rounds as well as 200gr reloads with varying powder charges. Informal target shooting showed the Lonewolf barrel at least as accurate as the Glock barrel.
Fit at the ejection port and lug was excellent.
The bottom of the slide, as you can see fit here was also excellent.
No bind or drag on the slide.
With freshly cast 175gr bullets, lubed with Lyman Alox, sized to .401″, and loaded with 7.7gr of IMR 800X, I was ready for a test run. The bullets were measured to a hardness of 19 on the Brinnell scale. I loaded a couple of hundred rounds in once-fired cases. After loaded I noticed about 25% of the rounds would not drop freely into the Lonewolf chamber but would drop freely into the Glock barrel. I realize the Lonewolf chamber is tighter than the factory chamber and I had a feeling .401″ may of been a bit large for the new chamber. I then ordered a .400″ sizing die from Lyman to see if that would help.
You can read about the Lyman mold I used here.
I took the rounds I had loaded out and the ones that passed the plunk test into the Lonewolf barrel shot great, function was flawless and accuracy was excellent. Not wanting to waste the ones that did not pass the plunk test I fired the remaining rounds from the factory Glock barrel. After ten rounds I would pull the barrel and looked for leading. I shot better than a hundred rounds from the Lonewolf barrel with no signs of leading and little fouling. One pass with a bore brush and the Lonewolf barrel's bore looked brand new. After about 40 rounds in the Glock barrel leading was evident. I ran a bore brush through the Glock barrel several times but still just a hint of lead was left behind.
Shot of the bore after a few hundred lead rounds.
Comparing the Lonewolf barrel to the factory Glock barrel you can see the external dimensions are similar.
It was not long before the .400″ sizing die showed up and I put it right to work. After sizing a hundred bullets to .400″ I loaded them up this time using 8gr of IMR 800X. I also added a little more flare to the case mouth for the bevel based bullet. Just enough crimp to iron out the slight flare, as the 10mm Auto headspaces off the case mouth.
These rounds did better dropping into the Lonewolf barrel. Using the same drill as last time with the Lonewolf barrel and factory Glock barrel I got about the same results.
I also noticed that when resizing the cases shot through the Lonewolf barrel it took less effort than when resizing cases shot through the Glock barrel.
I then put the Lonewolf barrel to the accuracy test against the factory barrel. Using a known accurate round, the Georgia Arms 155gr Speer Gold Dot . Stepping off to twenty-five yards and shooting from a rest I was able to get an average 2 inch, 3 shot group using the factory barrel. With the same set up I was able to get an average 1 inch group using the Lonewolf barrel. Not a huge difference but a noticeable and consistent improvement in accuracy.
As I have said before the 10mm Auto round is hugely underrated and that deeply saddens me. Along with the Lyman mold review I have also updated the 10mm Auto ballistics test. Both articles will be published very soon.
A special thank you to Allison Cartright for helping out with the Lonewolf and 10mm Auto ballistic test.
The Lonewolf barrel I used was the stock 4.6″ but the barrels are available in several lengths. The stock barrel retails for $109.95 and they go up from there depending on length and options. The Lonewolf barrel has 1 in 16 twist broach cut rifling and is made of 416 stainless steel. The test barrel was blind marked, as you can see the 10 on by the lower lug on the barrel. They can be ordered that way but it is a little extra.
Lonewolf also makes conversion barrels for Glocks to change calibers, such as you can order a .40 Smith and Wesson Lonewolf barrel, drop it in your Glock 20 and now it will shoot .40 S&W with the same magazine. There are many conversion barrels for many models of Glocks. The Lonewolf website, hyper linked at the beginning of the article is updated on what is available and what is in stock.
What is blind marked? Why would one want a blind marked barrel? Good article.. I recently bought a G20 SF and love it. It shoots everything low powered PPU to hotrod Underwood.
I'm waiting on dies to arrive so I can start reloading on my Dillon.
Blind marked is where the Lonewolf logo is not marked on the barrel hood. For me I just liked the look better.
The G20 is a fine pistol, please keep me posted on your reloading.

Investors in Carnival (CCL) are having a great end to a difficult 2013 following massive public relationship disasters earlier this year and last year's disaster with the Costa Concordia.
Just three months ago, Carnival released its third quarter results which triggered a sell-off at the time. After shares have risen by about 25% in just a quarter of a year, it is time to take some profits.
The Costa Concordia shipwreck is one of several reasons why Copenhagen Malmo Port (CMP) expects its first ever decline in the number of cruise guests and calls. Other Baltic Sea ports are also expected to be hit.
After many years with double-digit growth rates the Baltic Sea cruise market looks set to take a breather in 2014. The cruise business accounts for approx. 13-15 percent of Copenhagen Malmo Port's revenue, and according to COO Cruise and Ferries, Arnt Møller Pedersen, the decline will not be insignificant.
"We predict a 5-10 percent decline in guests and calls in 2014," he tells ShippingWatch.
This year, 356 cruise ships called in CMP, and a total of 840,000 vacationing guests have visited Copenhagen and Malmo, but next year the entire Baltic Sea region will feel the effect of several factors weighing down the combined cruise market.
In what can only be described as a bizarre legal turn in the Costa Concordia disaster and saga, the Moldovan dancer reported to have been seen having dinner with Captain Francesco Schettino and also reportedly seen on the bridge the night the Costa Concordia ran aground, is now reported to be seeking damages from the captain, the ship's parent company and media.
Carnival has announced that "substantially all" of the amount recovered through insurance are connected to the Costa Concordia disaster, which occurred on January 13, when the cruise ship ran aground and then capsized off of the Italian island of Giglio.


The storm hit central and eastern Philippine islands on December 29 and caused massive flooding and landslides.
The death toll was likely to climb further with 26 people still missing.
Over one Lakh fifty thousand people were displaced by the storm and 75 were injured.

No Place on Earth
Hosted By: Sousa Mendes Foundation
An extraordinary story! In 1942, 38 men, women and children slid down a cold, muddy hole in the ground, seeking refuge from the war above in a pitch-black underground world where no human had gone before. These five Ukrainian Jewish families created their own society where young men bravely ventured into the harrowing night to collect food, supplies and chop firewood. The girls and women never left, surviving underground longer than anyone in recorded history. Held together by an iron-willed matriarch, after 511 days, the cave dwellers, ages 2 to 76, emerged at war's end in tattered clothes, blinded by a sun some children forgot existed. Despite all odds, they had survived.
The remarkable true story of No Place on Earth starts out as a mystery. While exploring some of the longest caves in the world in southwestern Ukraine in the 1990s, American caver Chris Nicola stumbled upon unusual objects… a shoe a comb, some buttons, a key. Was the vague rumor true, that some Jews had hidden in this cave during WWII and if so, had any survived to tell their tale? 67 years later, Chris leads four of the survivors, and their family members, back to Ukraine to say thank you to the cave.

Back in March 2018, Drupal security teams fixed CVE-2018-7600 (also known as Drupalgeddon 2) and discovered another vulnerability (CVE-2018-7602) that could be exploited to deliver cryptocurrency mining malware in the process. Attacks against sites leveraging the open source content management system began just hours after the CVE-2018-7602 patch was released, giving site owners and operators little time to respond, Bleeping Computer reported in April 2018.
While the patch effectively curtails this crypto-mining effort, not all companies have implemented the fix.
Monero mining is the aim of cybercriminals leveraging CVE-2018-7602. With 85 percent of all crypto-mining attacks now using Monero — and thieves grabbing more than $175 million from malicious mining techniques — it's no surprise cybercriminals are exploiting this longstanding Drupal flaw to move more of the digital currency.
The method here is remote code execution (RCE), which affects Drupal versions 7 and 8. According to Trend Micro, the attack starts with a shell script download, followed by an Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) downloader to add a crontab entry. Since Drupal lacks input sanitization of # characters in URLs, threat actors can bypass standard protections to install Monero-based mining malware.
This attack vector also uses HTTP 1.0 POST to return data, making it an outlier since most organizations now use HTTP 1.1 or higher. As a result, businesses may not immediately flag this Drupal activity as suspicious.
How Critical Is the Vulnerability?
According to Drupal, this vulnerability is rated "highly critical" with a score of 20 out of 25. Attackers can leverage the flaw to take control of Drupal sites; install cryptocurrency miners and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) malware; and create backdoors for easy, long-term access.
Threat actors are also using the Tor network to obfuscate their activity. When Trend Micro traced the attacks back along their IP trail, the endpoint was an IP address owned by a virtual private network (VPN) provider that's also a Tor exit node.
Using open source Monero miner XMRig version 2.6.3, meanwhile, the malware checks whether potential targets are already compromised and then alters behavior to limit possible discovery, according to an IBM X-Force advisory. As a result, everything from compromised website performance to complete loss of control and ongoing vulnerability are on the table if companies are compromised.
Upgrade to Drupal 7.59 from 7.x.
Upgrade to Drupal 8.5.3 from 8.5x.
Upgrade to Drupal 8.4.8 from 8.4x.
Patch directly for 8.x or 7.x if an immediate upgrade isn't possible (requires SA-CORE-2018-002 fix).
Monitor for signs of cryptocurrency mining infection, such as reduced performance and increased communications traffic that favors longer uploads and shorter downloads.

The market today is highly competitive where midmarket companies have to strive hard for survival. In order to succeed, the technology should provide the compatibility for the business to meet its customers' and employees' needs. This technology should also be able to make value-enriched and simple changes in the business. Of late, businesses have been able to find solution to their IT related challenges using video communications. Even though standalone video communications can be deployed as solutions, the best practice is to employ platforms with unified communications.
While considering buying video communications, these businesses have to essentially focus on various factors like present and future business requirements, functionality, price, and expertise at partner implementation. By understanding how to work on these factors, midmarkets will benefit in Corporate communications, human resources management, finance, operations and sales.
There are different uses of enterprise video solutions in corporate communications. It can be used for corporate messaging, live webcasts of CEOs, while introducing new products, for consistently providing crisis messages, for announcing statements approved by the company, and more. Technology can bring better outreach, branding, thought leadership, and higher moral values. With enterprise video, you can now broadcast programs to your partners or employees in more secure ways than mere web conferencing or video conferencing. All you need to do is streamline it.
An extremely important process of introducing the new employees to company's values, vision, mission and goals can be done by enterprise video. It can be used in orientation programs, employee training, to present the quarterly/yearly benefits, company procedures and policies, emergency processes, events, corporate communications, department information within the enterprise, and provide rapid, easy global information access. The benefits technology can provide to HR are- attracting new candidates, minimizing attrition, enhancing sales team and customer-service effectiveness. The department of HR can also have management applications better coordinated to provide coverage for liability. This can increase communication at frequent intervals, cutting down travel expenses, and also improve comprehension and productivity.
There are processes and policies of the company like reduction in taxation and financial issues of different regions, how to update the policies rapidly on the basis of regulations, internal results (monthly/quarterly), adhering to the new tax law, following the expense report in multiple levels within the company, and filing the invoice/expense within deadline. Enterprise video solutions can help increase productivity by providing more interactive demonstrations and also reduce costs occurring due to wrong financing. This technology, owing to its higher abilities of communicating can generate revenue and enhance employee participation, hence generate sales leads.
The department has to attend to different emergency procedures, build security processes, understand what should be done in case of a certain happening, and contact the IT people for system/software/equipment issues. Through enterprise video, you can communicate regularly and with higher efficiency. It also has the ability to respond better to emergencies and maintain the operation.
You may use enterprise video for sales training for new or existing products. The best way of using it will probably be in dealing with the objections faced. You can also update products and train your staff into competitive selling by providing tips from the experienced employees in sales. An extremely productive use will be providing guidelines on field sales, and presenting methods to sell to targeted audience. This can increase 30% sales of new products, and 12% of the existing ones (ones running in the market between 6-12 months). Such imaginative and powerful use of enterprise video solutions help reduce the field analysis time used by sales representatives for activities like training and the time used by them to travel for that training.
There are many more departments, each of which is getting better with the enterprise video services and solutions. The best part about this technology is, viewers retain it much more, it being audio-visual and also because it provides a better imagery in the minds of those experiencing it.

A Brighter, Cleaner Future for Our State
In the late 1990s, an advisory committee gathered to come up with a new way to approach environmental issues in Georgia. The idea was to build a collaborative network of knowledgeable leaders, people from all sectors and regions who could create solutions, instead of just engaging in divisive debates and lawsuits.
Their solution was to create and launch IGEL in 2001. In 2004, IGEL, Inc., was formed to act as the program's governing body. In the years since IGEL began, its classes have grown in attendance and diversity, and the annual programs have expanded to include hands-on learning experiences in every part of Georgia.
Since 2001, hundreds of alumni have completed the training, and include leaders from academia, industry, government and civic organizations. After graduation, alumni have implemented their new skills and training to successfully solve environmental challenges, and called on fellow graduates to confer and collaborate on sustainability issues. Instead of constant conflict, Georgia's environmentally-aware leaders can now work together to create a brighter, cleaner future for our state.

Whether you wear a big notice saying you're a total cycling newbie, look like a Tour de France pro or just put on a straightforward high-viz jacket, the distance at which UK cars will overtake remains roughly the same: 117.5cm.
That's the result of an academic study investigating what difference a cyclist's clothing choice may have on how close motorists pass them when overtaking during peak rush hour.
It means, say the researchers, there is little cyclists can do with their wardrobe to influence motorists' behaviour once they've been seen.
The only jacket that appeared to make a meaningful difference to the average passing distance was a jacket with the word 'police' written on it. Motorists passed the cyclist at an average of 122cm. The police jacket also warned road users they were close to a camera-using cyclist. However, while wearing that jacket increased the average distance of overtakes, 1 to 2 percent of passes were still deemed very close (less than 50cm), said Walker. Close passes were a factor of wearing all seven outfits.
In the study, Dr Ian Garrard of Keele University was fitted with proximity measuring equipment to record how close each car passed.
Garrard also wore one of seven outfits ranging from non cycle-specific clothing, through iterations of high-viz jackets to pro-level cycle clothing on his 52km round commute between Cookham, Berkshire, and Uxbridge on the outskirts of London.
The study recommended better cycling infrastructure and legal and educational measures as better remedies to reduce close overtaking.

U.S. Federal regulation from 2009 requires credit card companies to convey information regarding payoff scenarios, i.e., details such as total amount paid and time to pay off when only a minimum payment is made (over time). Across seven studies, the present research shows that consumers who were given a dual payoff scenario (i.e., how much is paid in total based on the minimum payment and also based on a 3-year payoff window) on credit card statements recommended lower payments than those given a single payoff scenario (when the 3-year payment amount was less than what they would have paid otherwise), and were less likely to pay off the balance in full. The effect is driven by a tendency of consumers to infer that the 3-year payment amount is the most appropriate. The dual-scenario effect is minimized by an intervention that draws attention away from the 3-year payment amount. Theoretical and public policy implications are considered.

Električna pokretljivost, pokretljivost nositelja električnoga naboja ili električna mobilnost (oznaka µ) je fizikalna veličina koja opisuje prosječnu brzinu gibanja čestica nabijenih električnim nabojem u pravcu električnoga polja, količnik brzine zanošenja vd čestica nabijenih električnim nabojem u pravcu polja i jakosti električnoga polja E, dakle:

Pokretljivost nositelja električnoga naboja ovisi o temperaturi i vrsti kemijske tvari.

Primjerice, u poluvodičima je električna pokretljivost elektrona manja što je veća koncentracija primjesa i viša temperatura (primjese narušavaju pravilnost strukture kristalne rešetke, a na višim temperaturama vibracije kristalne rešetke jače raspršuju elektrone). Pokretljivost elektrona u poluvodiču je:

gdje je: e - električni naboj elektrona, τ - prosječno vrijeme između dvaju sudara elektrona s kristalnom rešetkom, me - masa elektrona. Mjerna jedinica električne pokretljivosti je kvadratni metar po voltsekundi (m2/Vs).

Elektronska teorija
Poznato je da su najmanje čestice materije molekule i atomi. Međutim, atom nije nedjeljiv, kako se prije to mislilo, već se sastoji od atomske jezgre oko koje kruže velikim brzinama još manje čestice koje se zovu elektroni. Atom možemo usporediti sa Sunčevim sustavom u kojem planeti kruže oko Sunca. Atomi su sastavljeni od atomske jezgre i elektrona koji kruže oko te jezgre, samo se međusobno razlikuju po veličini jezgre i po broju elektrona. Najjednostavniji atom je atom kemijskog elementa vodika kod kojeg oko jezgre kruži samo jedan elektron. Najveći je atom koji se nalazi u prirodi atom elementa uranija kod kojeg oko jezgre kruže 92 elektrona.

Elektron je najsitnija negativna čestica u atomu, to jest on je negativno električan, dok je atomska jezgra pozitivno električna.

Ima tvari kod kojih su elektroni u atomu čvrsto vezani uz atomsku jezgru tako da se ne mogu od nje odijeliti na jednostavan način. Te tvari nisu sposobne za vođenje elektriciteta (električni izolatori). Kovine imaju takav sastav da kod njih nisu svi elektroni vezani uz atomsku jezgru, već ima i slobodnih elektrona koji se lako gibaju između molekula kovine. Električna struja je usmjereno gibanje slobodnih elektrona.

Ako neko fizikalno tijelo ima potpun broj svojih elektrona, kaže se da je to tijelo električni neutralno. Zbog različitih okolnosti atom nekog tijela može izgubiti nešto od svojih slobodnih elektrona, pa će ostatak atoma biti pozitivno električan. U protivnom slučaju, ako atom primi nešto suvišnih elektrona, on će biti negativno električan. Ovakvi, električki nabijeni atomi, bilo pozitivno ili negativno, zovu se ioni. Ima, dakle, pozitivnih i negativnih iona. Pozitivni ioni zovu se kationi jer se gibaju prema negativnoj elektrodi ili katodi, a negativni ioni zovu se anioni jer se gibaju prema pozitivnoj elektrodi ili anodi. Ionizirani mogu biti ne samo pojedini atomi nego i međusobno povezane grupe od dva ili više atoma. To su složeni ili kompleksni ioni.
