Eco Panel Nepal emerging as a Center for Research in Nepal
BHAKTAPUR, August 14: Generally, industrialists focus on profits as the purpose of establishing their industries, but one industry in Bhaktapur has moved forward with the goal of developing itself as a research center along with profits.
Eco Panel Nepal, located at Changu Narayan Municipality-2,Jhaukhel, Bhaktapur, has said that it has moved ahead with a plan to develop the research center to allow students and other researchers to carry out research on the subject.
With the industry not fully operational, the industry has begun to provide space for research already. Three students of Kathmandu University are currently doing internships in the industry. Three students studying their final year in the bachelor of Chemical Science and Engineering at the university, Rasharal Dhwaju, Rojish Prajapati and Urgen Tamang, are doing internships for two months.
They are doing internships there according to their credit course under the Department of Chemical Science and Engineering of the university.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Eco Panel Nepal, Engineer Krishna Bhakta Duwal, said that the students have been given space with a plan to develop the industry as a research center. Duwal, who is currently pursuing his PhD in Resources and Environmental Engineering at Wuhan University of Technology in China, said he started with a plan to develop the industry as a research center because of the importance of research. "Research has to find problems and their appropriate solutions and it is useful for the whole world," Duwal said.
Urgen Tamang, one of the students doing internship in the industry, said that the opportunity to learn has been widened by having direct study and research in the industry according to the course curriculum of their study. He said that it would be beneficial for all as it would not only broaden their knowledge but also use the knowledge they have acquired for the benefit of the country and society.
Dr Rajendra Joshi, Head and Associate Professor, Kathmandu University School of Engineering, Department of Chemical Science and Engineering, said that students are sent for internships to various industrial corporations from time to time to broaden their knowledge. He believed that it would not only benefit the students but also the entire country indirectly.
Eco Panel Nepal's Eco Panel is a new energy saving and environmentally-friendly building material used as interior and exterior partition walls. It is the eco panel company with the largest investment in Nepal so far. The industry is spread over an area of 10 ropanis of Jhaukhel in the district.
The eco panel is lightweight and earthquake resistant. It is also a sound-resistant fire controller. Therefore, the demand for eco-panels is increasing across the country.
Why Eco Panel Nepal becoming the Center of Research ?

"The arrests were an attempt to muzzle dissenting voices, who have fought for the rights of the dispossessed for decades," said Kolse Patil.
MUMBAI: In an operation spread across several cities, the Pune police on Tuesday arrested five activists - Gautam Navalakha, Sudha Bharadwaj, Varavara Rao, Arun Ferreira and Vernon Gonsalves - for their alleged involvement in instigating the Koregaon-Bhima violence in January. Members of the civil society condemned the arrest. Justice BG Kolse Patil alleged that it is an undeclared emergency.
Activists from various organisation condemned the arrests jointly in Mumbai in a press conference. Mihir Desai from PUCL, Hasina Khan from Awaz E Misua Foundation and Justice BG Kolse Patil addressed the press conference.
"The arrests were an attempt to muzzle dissenting voices, who have fought for the rights of the dispossessed for decades," said Kolse Patil. He said that the Elgar Parishad at Pune was organised by him with the help of Justice PB Sawant.
"I was the first person who had launched the movement 'RSS free India.' The eminent persons arrested by the police and the Elgar Parishad had no relation. The Pune police had already clarified and the committee appointed by DIG of Western Zone also clarified the fact in their report. Even after that, the government is not ready to accept the committee's report," he said.
"We haven't organised the Elgar Parishad with help of any organisation and surely not Naxalites," he added.
"This arrest is to counter the demand of arrest of Sanatan Sanstha's chief Jayant Athavale. The law is humiliated in this country. Constitution and section 19 of the constitution is not being followed here. This is State sponsored dangal in the country," he said.

But no matter, eh? You get on with it. My name's Bert. I drive a cab here on in the City of Lights on Bethdish, which is God's armpit if you ask me, but then again, the rent's cheap and a body can make a living if he knows his way around.
My shift ended about an hour before, so I double-parked the hovercar I use to taxi fares around the City Center section on the street and wander into the Mare Inebrium for a few cold ones before heading home for the night.
So Max saw me walking in and made sure that a pint of good dark is sitting on the counter when I got to the bar. We exchanged pleasantries in the usual fashion, though I'm sure that he doesn't really think that about me, and I've never even met his mother. I propped myself up against the bar and survey the nights patronage. Weird crowd they get here, never figured it out. Most places, folks stick together. Humans over in this bar, D'rrish in that one. Folks don't mingle with folks who ain't folks, if you get my drift. But this place seems to have a psychic "Leave your species at the door" sign in bright neon hanging outside, so people tend to mingle here and there's only the usual amount of trouble.
Over in the corer, a dark-eyed man in a silver shirt was having an animated discussion about politics with a fellow in a black vest and his Wookiee. Meanwhile, the curly-haired fellow in the wide brimmed hat was milling about the room, constantly apologizing to folks who trip over his scarf. He's an interesting fellah, but a bit of an enigma, if you catch my drift.
I was about two-thirds down my third pint when I noticed her. I'm not sure how she blended into the crowd, and I sure didn't see her come in. She was medium-height, with long chestnut brown hair and ice-blue eyes that seemed to be lit by a soft inner light.
Now, I'm not much of a mover, or a pick-em-up-easy guy, but I could tell this girl was special. I don't know why, but I just had a feeling we would hit it off. So I made my way over to her table and introduced myself.
"Good evening, miss," I began glibly. "M'names Bert. I'm sort of a regular here, but I don't recall seeing you around before?"
She glanced up at me, or maybe through me, as though she were concentrating on a space just behind my ear. But she smiled, a slow warm smile that invited further conversation.
"Hi. No, I've not been here. Well, not in a very long time."
I laughed. "You don't look nearly old enough to have been here a long time ago." It was strange, but normally these are the sorts of things you say to a gal just to perk her up and get closer, but I really meant it this time. Sometimes I even surprise myself. "Is this seat taken?"
"Not at all, please sit down. I'm Leah."
After that, we fell into easy conversation. I told her about working the city as a hovercar for hire, and about the day to day comedies and tragedies of Bethdish. She said that she was a student at the University, studying political science.
"Interesting field, y'know" I said, knowingly. Especially when you've got a case study like the Great Devourer, eh?"
"Ah, that's what we call the current controller. He's a piece o' work, I'm one to tell ya. I'm surprised that you don't hear that on campus."
"Oh, well, I don't pay that much attention to local politics. I'm more interested in stellar government."
"Oh, I see. Plan to do a little planet hopping, do ya? Fun stuff." I said.
Her eyes lit up. "You've been offworld yourself?" she asked, eagerly.
"Oh, yeah, well, I did a little planet hopping when I was a teenager. That was a good time to be an intergalactic vagrant. You could easily make your way from Homestar to the Rim on just your wits and odd jobs. And you could always hire yourself out as a cabin boy. Or girl." I smiled at her.
"It sounds wonderful." She had propped her head on the tops of her folded hands, and focused on me as if I was the center of the universe. I don't have to tell ya what the effect of a gal doing that is on a fellah.
"Well, I don't wanna make it seem like it was all glamour. Adventures, they can be dangerous. When I was 17, I was working as a ship's hand on a ship called the Starwave. Luxury transport ship, mostly rich old folks going to bask under sunspots for their health on resort worlds on the Rim. Anyway, they made two runs a year from Homestar to the Rim and back again, so hiring on was a great way to see the sights. We were about 6 weeks out when the first trouble hit.
"Now, we don't have as much trouble with pirates these days, but back then, you had to keep an eye out for privateers. So, I had just gotten onto my duty shift when the lights went red."
I paused a moment to signal a passing waitress for another pint. Storytelling, I can tell ya, is a dry business. Still, I could tell I had an entranced audience, so I didn't so much mind. Suitably refreshed, I returned to my tale.
"So anyway, we immediately went into emergency mode, closing up bulkheads and herding the passengers into safety zones, when the captain comes on the speaker. Seems there's a real, honest-to-god, right out of the holo-serials, pirate frigate off the port bow, and he wants us to surrender and prepare to be boarded. Now, these luxury cruisers, they ain't exactly unguarded, but often with these folks, ya just wanna give 'em some money and let 'em be on their way."
"Next thing we knew...thanks for the refill, Max...next thing we knew, there's about a dozen of these latter-day buccaneers fanning out over the ship with rifles, looking all fierce and skuzzy. Seems a bit of a laugh, when you think of how many able-bodied spacemen there were on board, but we were all under orders not to try any heroics, since there was still a ship with big guns just outside our airlock and we didn't want to all get blasted into smithereens."
"So Joe and me, Joe was my cabinmate, and one of the best buddies you'd ever hope to have, we realize that the only way we're getting out of this thing alive is if someone somehow can manage to get over to that other ship and get its guns pointed in some other direction. Now, we both knew that the captain wouldn't hear any of it, since so far all the pirates seemed inclined to do was eat our food and drink our booze and maybe liberate a few ne'er-do-wells out of their diamonds and rubies, and that beats floating around some backwater spacer lane as so much dust any day of the week. But Joe and me, we're kids, and we think we're invincible, and we plot among ourselves to do exactly that."
"Considering how its exceedingly unlikely the pirates are going to let us just waltz across the bridge between the airlocks and enter their ship, we decide to get in a back door. See, their ship had big old block-thrust engines. A big block of solid-state fuel is atomized in a special furnace, and the energy released from the molecular dissociation is channeled out these giant pipes on the back of the ship. Completely useless for deep-interstellar, of course, but if yer just hopping from system to system in a local cluster, its cheap and easy to maintain. Just the thing for these jerks to hold folks up on the spacelanes. The other thing we knew about that little guy is that it only carried a small crew, fifteen or twenty. So there couldn't be too many folks left behind to man weapons, if any (cause the pirates could've been bluffing).
"So what Joe and I proposed to do was to put on enviro-suits, slip out the repair hatch on the starboard hull, and then sneak into their ship via the engine port.
"We managed to get over there with pocket thrusters, hugging the shadow that the two linked ships cast to keep from being seen. When we got up to the back of their ship, we grappled hold of the thrust cone and walked into the blast tubing."
Her eye's widened as the implication struck her. "But, if they had decided to start their engines..."
"...I wouldn't be here telling you this yarn, miss. And we knew it, believe me. Those old ships weren't the gleaming arrows to the future like you see 'round here these days...you'd hear lots of creaks and rattles and hisses, and every one of them made us about to jump from our suits. We made our way into the tube about 200 yards before we found a hatchway that lead down into the engine maintenance compartment. From there, it was fairly easy to work out way through the maze of machinery to get to the actual engine room. Luckily, it was empty when we popped out of the airlock."
Leah shivered, no doubt thinking about those big atomizers springing to life with someone in the tube. Come to think of it, looking back, I can't say I'm so calm about it myself.
"We had a couple of small pistols that we'd liberated from the ship's armory on the way out, and we pulled them out and started stalking through the halls, peering around corners as we went. I don't know about Joe, but every spy-thriller holo I'd ever seen was flashing through my head...I swear, I could even hear the background music playing. All of a sudden, we came round a corner face to face with one of their crew. I'm not sure who looked more surprised!"
"He was right in front of me, so I immediately lashed out with a right cross, but he put an arm up to block me. I reached up and grabbed his wrist, and we started to struggle, each trying to get a shot at the other. I guess he wasn't much older than me at the time, a kid really, and he obviously either didn't notice Joe or forgot about him. He had me pressed against the wall and was about to lay into me when there was a sharp cracking noise and he slumped to the floor. Joe had found a fire suppresser mounted on the wall and clocked him with it. We tied him up and left him gagged in one of the side rooms."
"Unfortunately, now we knew we had a tighter schedule to work with, since it was only a matter of time before the kid was missed by someone. I felt like we'd almost gotten to the front, and sure enough, about another 200 feet and we came to a ladder going up and down. This was obviously an old out-of-service military vessel, since there was no lift to take you to the bridge, but that was both a blessing and a curse. We had a greater risk of meeting someone coming down the ladder, but it would probably be easier to plan how we wanted to move onto the bridge when we got there with no lift doors opening up to announce us."
"I tucked my pistol into my waistband and started to climb. Joe came behind me, a little slower because he kept his sidearm in one hand while doing a sort of one-handed monkey-climb up the ladder behind me. We went up about 50 feet or so before we came to the well where the ladder gave access to the bridge. It was even better than I had hoped...an arching doorway shielded us from view. Peering out, we saw two more crewmen on the bridge. One was sitting in the command chair while the other sat in the weapon master's console."
"Now, one thing to keep in mind if this was a military vessel is that the command chair could control any system on the bridge at will. So it's not so simple to just get the one guy and think things are going to fall into place. I'm trying to figure out how we can get out of this without actually shooting somebody, and an idea occurs to me. I catch Joe's eye, and nod my head towards the ladder, then I fish a coin out of my pocket. Joe presses up against the bulkhead wall by the door, and with a flick of the wrist, I ricochet the coin down the ladderwell.
"Here comes the hard part. As soon as the guy steps into the ladderwell, Joe grabs him from behind and clamps a hand over his mouth, pressing the pistol into his back. Across the way, I put a finger to my mouth and indicate that he should not make noises that would upset my friend. His eyes get wide, and he nods emphatically."
"Now this whole plan revolved around the other guy not noticing what went down with his friend, and luckily, it worked. I peek around the doorway, and he's sitting there with his feet propped up on the padded railing that went around the command chair. I figure if I'm real quiet, I can sneak up behind him. I duck low to the ground, and slowly make my way down from the ladder section to behind the slight dais where he was sitting. Slowly, I raised my pistol until it was right level with the back of his neck, then gently pressed it against him."
"I'd not be moving if I were you, fellah," I said, In what I hoped was my best Jim Coldnair voice (You probably don't remember him, he was an actor who played all the big tough-guy roles in the holo serials when I was a kid.)"
"This guy freezes stiff at the feel of the metal barrel on his skin. "Put yer hands up where I can see 'em, and then step away from the console." I march this guy over the ladderwell, and we tie the two of them together and lash them to the ladder."
"It's about here that Joe and I stop running on adrenaline and realize that, holy smokes, we actually pulled this off!"
I take a long pull on the fresh pint that Max has brought to my table.
"We quiz our two prisoners and find out that, sure enough, there were only three of them left on board. And we had them all secure and under gun. I tell ya, it's a feeling to know that you put a plan together and pulled it off." That old fraud Hannibal is sitting in the corner grinning at me and chomping on one of those foul cigars of his. I wonder how long he's been paying attention.
"We made radio contact with the Captain and let him know what had gone down. Without the threat of the pirate ship's guns on them, they were able to overtake the other dozen or so that had boarded, and the lot of them were tossed in the brig. Me and Joe got promotions out of the deal, and a hefty reward for both the capture of the pirates and the return of their stolen military ship."
"Gosh, it sounds so exciting." I'm glad to hear this, 'cause I was afraid I had bored her with my story. Funny thing is, I usually embellish the heck out of that story, but for some reason, tonight I told it straight.
The crowd around us begins to thin out, and I signal Max to drop both my drinks and hers on my tab. He nods across the room at me and goes back to polishing glasses and setting them up in the rack.
"I guess I should be getting on," she said.
"Let me drive you. My cab's outside." I gave her a cockeyed grin. "No charge."
"I'm only a few blocks from here, it's ok."
"Well, let me walk ya then. This isn't a bad neighborhood or nothing, but still, its very late, and you are alone."
She smiled that smile again...the one that made me quiver slightly. "That's very sweet of you, Bert. I'd like that."
We stepped outside and the cold night air swept across us. I quickly pulled off my leather bomber jacket and slipped it over her shoulders. "Here, lets not have you getting cold."
We walked the several blocks to her home, discussing nothing in particular. A sidewalk vendor about 2 blocks from the Mare was selling flowers, so I bought her a particularly red rose from his selection. She pressed close to me and held my hand, which made me feel very warn and comfortable to my surprise. Even more to my surprise, I realized I had no intention of trying to fish an invitation inside from her.
We came to a house in one of the nicer residential blocks near the spaceport. "It's my Dad's." she said, making a face as if to say what she thought about living at home at her age.
"Beats pounding for rent." I said, grinning. "Look, I really enjoyed the company tonight, and I'd like to see you again, if you don't mind, sometime?"
"I'd like that a lot," she smiled. I let go of her hand, and she turned to face me. Wrapping her arms around my neck, she drew her tiny frame up close to me and planted a kiss right on the lips. Not a quick peck like you'd get from your sister, but a long soulful kiss. "Goodnight, Bert," she said, a bit wistfully.
"Hey, don't be glum, kiddo. I'll be round." I waved as she slipped into the house. I floated the whole way back to the Mare, and was unlocking my cab before I remembered! I loaned her my jacket, but forgot to get it back. I guess I was so warm inside from the kiss (not to mention several pints) I didn't notice the cold.
I quickly fumbled a couple of anti-intoxicant pills from the glove compartment and popped them into my mouth, then glided the hovercar onto the street. No big loss I thought, I'll just pop by her house and pick it up. It's only been 15 minutes.
I pulled up in front of Leah's house and walked briskly to the front door. After ringing the door bell, I thrust both hands in my pockets to protect them from the chill. I had to ring twice more before it finally slid open.
An old guy answered the door. He had a neat mane of silver hair, and a heavily lined, but distinguished, face. "Can I help you, young man?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry to bother ya so late, sir. I loaned something to your daughter, Leah, and I was wondering if I could get it back?"
The old fellah peered at me like I'm touched in the head. "I'm afraid you're mistaken, son," he said, starting to close the door on me.
"Sir, please, I know she's here, I just dropped her off at this doorstep not 15 minutes ago." He stopped.
"Perhaps you had better come inside." He opened the door wide to let me into his sitting room. "Have a seat."
I perched on the overstuffed sofa that faces the fireplace. The old guy paced back and forth in front of me, before stopping at the fireplace, and taking a picture frame down from the mantle. He handed a portrait shot of Leah to me.
"My daughter was a political science student at the University," he said. "She was scheduled to travel to Homestar to spend a summer working as an intern for one of the government agencies."
"She must be terribly excited," I said. "She told me how much she wanted to go offworld."
"Yes, she was terribly excited, young man. Unfortunately, she never got the chance. There's was an engine failure, and her transport exploded on the pad. There were no survivors."
I gaped at him. "You can't be serious!"
"I'm afraid I am. Whoever it was you spent the evening with, it was not my daughter. Leah died on this day 25 years ago. She's buried in the cemetery on the hill"
My head was spinning as I attempted to reconcile what the old man had just told me with the memories I had of just that evening. I didn't know what to say to explain myself. I apologized profusely to the old man for interrupting him, and walked in a daze back to my cab.
"Up on the hill," I thought to myself. For no reason I could think of, I suddenly set off in a mad dash down the street. I came to the cemetery gates and vaulted over them with one hand planted on the stone columns. Breathlessly, I dashed up to the small hill that stood at the back of the plot, on the other side of a small fountain. The moonlight allowed me to read the inscription clearly.
Folded neatly on the grass under the inscription lay my jacket. A fresh cut red rose lay carefully across it.

Wingcopter landed $16 million contract with Spright for medical deliveries in the USA

Wingcopter and Spright announced a new commercial agreement worth more than US$ 16 million. As part of the deal Spright is acquiring a large fleet of Wingcopter’s new flagship delivery drone, the Wingcopter 198, to meet the increasing demand for medical drone delivery solutions throughout the United States. The contract makes Wingcopter the exclusive provider of fixed wing eVTOL delivery drone technology to Spright for use within its United States operations. Spright, in turn, becomes the exclusive provider of Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) for the Wingcopter 198 to third parties in the USA, an ideal fit thanks to its available infrastructure across the country.

Spright was launched in July of 2020 as the new drone division of Air Methods to improve healthcare access and minimize supply challenges for customers across the US. To this end, Spright is creating a drone-based, healthcare-specific delivery network in the United States leveraging an existing infrastructure of more than 300 bases, serving hundreds of hospitals, across 48 states in predominantly rural areas.

The agreement further strengthens the strategic partnership between the two companies that was announced in August 2021. Spright is closely supporting Wingcopter in its FAA UAS type-certification process, leveraging the Spright team’s extensive aviation experience operating both FAA 121 and 135 air carriers, its existing Part 135 certificate (on-demand air service), SMS (Safety Management System) Program, and long-standing relationships with the FAA.

Spright is collaborating with Hutchinson Regional Health System, in Hutchinson, Kansas, for initial tests, and plans to expand the service beyond Kansas with additional strategic medical projects later this year. The Wingcopter fleet will increase healthcare access across rural and underserved communities by enabling the instant and on-demand delivery of vital medical supplies, medications, vaccines, blood, and lab samples, between medical facilities. It will also improve quality of care for patients due to faster turn-around time of lab samples and more targeted treatments for patients. Finally, the electrically powered Wingcopter cargo drones will reduce the medical industry’s carbon footprint, contributing to greener and more sustainable supply chains with faster and more predictable delivery times.

Q: How can I record the results of all asynchronous functions in the array I have this code:
$(document).ready(function(){
    var dsg =  new contract('1', '/json/dsgABI.json');
    console.log(dsg.data);
});
var contract = function(contractAddress, abiFile){
    var data = new Object();
    $.when(abi()).then(function(abi) {
        data.abi = abi;
    });
    function abi(){
        return $.getJSON(abiFile, function(abi){
            return abi;
        });
    }
    this.data = data;
}

But when a use console.log(dsg.data.abi[0]) I get undefined.
Can you help me write code that allows me to call the data array both inside and outside the function, and in the array there were results of the function.
P.S.: async function will be 10 or more! And I need push results onto an array and use it when I need!

A: You need to return a promise with the resolved value you want to access.
It's simpler than you are doing.
You call your function contract which performs the async request and returns a promise with the fetched data, and then you access this data when resolved.
So your code should look something like:
$(document).ready(function(){
    contract('1', '/json/dsgABI.json').then(data => {
      console.log(data);
    });
});
function contract(contractAddress, abiFile){
    return $.getJSON(abiFile, abi => abi);
}

Rental suite 'looked wonderful' until Vernon woman realized it was too good to be true | iNFOnews | Thompson-Okanagan's News Source
Rental suite 'looked wonderful' until Vernon woman realized it was too good to be true
November 21, 2016 - 1:00 PM
VERNON - Hope of finally finding a nice, affordable rental suite for her daughter quickly turned into disappointment for a Vernon woman when she realized the whole thing was a scam.
Carol Giffen has been helping her daughter, a single mom, find a new rental unit for close to a year. When she spotted the upper floor of a house on Herry Road in Vernon listed for $800, she jumped at the opportunity.
"It was three-to-four bedrooms, two baths, a big fenced yard. It sounded wonderful," Giffen says.
She contacted the landlord at the email provided — the ad specifically said not to reply through Kijiji but through a specific email address. She heard back almost immediately.
"He messaged me back this long story about being in the Yukon working," Giffen says.
He also said he was renting out the home to help with a sick relative.
It was all looking good until Giffen decided to pull up the ad again on Kijiji and found it gone. She Googled the address and found a different Kijiji ad for the same suite. The only difference was the price: $1700 a month.
"I immediately realized what this guy had done was take their ad, made it his own, and put it up for $800," Giffen says.
Just to be sure, she contacted the realtor for the home (the house was sold in September) and confirmed she was not communicating with the true owner of the house. She says the individual who listed the ad never asked for any money.
"He didn't get to that part but I know he was going to," she says.
She says she tried to report the incident to police, but was told it wasn't a crime because no money was taken.
Vernon RCMP spokesperson Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy says they have not received any rental scam complaints recently, but pointed out a rental scams tip page which describes a similar scam to the one Giffen experienced. Police suggest asking landlords to show picture identification as proof they are who they say they are. While not a requirement, the renter should be suspicious if they refuse.
For Giffen, the disappointment of another dead-end is worse than the scam itself.
"I was so excited that I thought I found her a place," Giffen says of her daughter.
She's warning others to watch for red flags and never send money before seeing the unit and verifying the landlord's identity.
"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," she says.
With a lack of affordable housing and a low vacancy rate in Vernon, Giffen isn't the only one combing through classified ads in search of a decent rental.
The John Howard Society of the North Okanagan helps connect people with affordable housing and executive director Barb Levesque says vulnerable people are being taken advantage of during the housing crunch.
Often, people are charged inordinate rents for units that have mould problems, windows or doors that don't lock, or heat that doesn't work, Levesque says.
"It's not a direct scam, but it's taking advantage of the low vacancy rate," Levesque says.
Another issue comes when people are moving to Vernon and put a deposit on a rental, sight unseen. When the renters arrive, they often find the accommodation is not what was advertised.
The society has also heard of one case where a woman responded to a listing that advertised cheap rent in exchange for 'light housekeeping duties.' When the woman arrived to look at the suite, it became clear housekeeping duties meant sexual favours.
While there are rental units and landlords to watch out for, Levesque says there are many good ones as well, many of whom the society works closely with.
"We do have some really good landlords," Levesque says.
The society has five tips to protect yourself when renting:
Get receipts
Put things in writing
Have a witness
Take pictures
Find out about your rights and responsibilities as a tenant

It also represents the natural cycles of the year - the grain grows and is cut down or sacrificed only to be reborn again, the trees lose their leaves and seem to die only to resurrected, (which is why the tree of life/cross image developed) some animals hibernate and come back, etc.
Now here is the legend of the Goddess in the Saxon form as the search by Freya for the necklace Brosingame - a silver circlet worn about her neck as a chaplet. As with the Gardnerian Wicca legend of the descent of the Goddess to the Underworld, it reflects the cycles of the year - when fertility seems to sink into the earth and vanish during winter's barren months only to have the Lady and her bounty return to us in the spring.
Excepting the Gods themselves and, alzck, mischievous Loki.
This tale and the Gardnerian legend of the descent of the Goddess into the Underworld (told in the 2d degree initiation) and similar myths from around the world, such as the legend of Kwan Yin's descent to the land of death and her being expelled for spreading mirth and joy, show that women also shared a very important role in the shamanism/priesthood of the European Pagan traditions and also faced the ordeals - i.e. the physical or psychological confrontation with death. And again, it reflects the times of darkness and light in the year - the waxing and waning of the moon each month and the waxing and waning of the sun each year from Yule or Winter solstice to Mid-summer's night or Summer solstice when the light grows stronger and the remainder of the year, when light grows weaker.

Q: How to set a destination for shutil.copyfileobj? This code saves a discord image to the folder which it is in. I tried to set a destination for the save file, but I haven't found anything on the shutil website which sets the destination. I tried to put a destination in the shutil.copyfileobj brackets, but that didn't work. Also I an relatively new to coding.
This is the code:
import uuid
import requests
import shutil
from discord.ext import commands

class filesaver:

    @bot.command()
    async def save(ctx):
        try:
            url = ctx.message.attachments[0].url
        except IndexError:
            print("Error: No Attachments")
            await ctx.send("No Attachments detected!")

        else:
            if url[0:26] == "https://cdn.discordapp.com":
                r= requests.get(url, stream=True)
                imageName = str(uuid.uuid4()) + '.jpg'
                with open(imageName, 'wb') as out_file:
                    print('saving image: ' + imageName)
                    shutil.copyfileobj(r.raw, out_file)

        await ctx.send(f"text")

A: Your imageName doesn't contain a path, so it opens in whatever is your current working directory.  That's a bit unpredictable.  It's also easy to fix.
from pathlib import Path
imageName = str(Path.home() / Path(str(uuid.uuid4()) + '.jpg'))

You can of course replace Path.home() with any destination path you'd prefer.


In order to provide you with the sense of security when taking out a non-life insurance policy, the Foreign Non-Life Insurance Association of Japan has prepared a booklet titled "Guide to Taking out a Non-Life Insurance Policy," which outlines the types of non-life insurance policies and the matters that require attention. You are advised to read it when considering non-life insurance.
The Non-Life Insurance Policyholders Protection Corporation of Japan is an organization which was established in December 1998 pursuant to the Insurance Business Law under the authority of the then-current Minister of Finance with the purpose of protecting the policyholders in the event of a failure of a non-life insurance company and thus maintaining the reliability of the insurance business.
All licensed non-life insurance companies which engage in the non-life insurance business in Japan participate in the Corporation and the holders of the policies issued by those insurers are covered for protection. Please note, however, that no "short-term petty insurance companies" are the members of the Corporation and accordingly their policyholders are not covered for protection.

Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, né le , à Rottluff et mort le  à Berlin, est un peintre, graphiste, plasticien, illustrateur et graveur expressionniste allemand, membre du groupe Die Brücke.

Biographie

Jeunesse et formation

Karl Schmidt naît, dans une famille modeste, le  à Rottluff, qui est maintenant un quartier de Chemnitz (Saxe). Il est le fils du meunier Friedrich August Schmidt. Au lycée de Chemnitz, Karl Schmidt fait la connaissance, en 1901, d'Erich Heckel (né le ). Tous deux participent au cercle littéraire Vulkan. À partir de 1905, Karl Schmidt se fait appeler Schmidt-Rottluff. Comme Franz Marc, il étudie la théologie, selon la volonté de son père. En 1905 et 1906, il suit des cours d'architecture à l'École technique supérieure de Dresde, ainsi qu'Erich Heckel, qui lui fait rencontrer Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) et Fritz Bleyl. Fritz Schumacher est son professeur de dessin.

Die Brücke
Le , Karl Schmitt-Rottluff fonde, à Dresde, avec Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Fritz Bleyl et Erich Heckel, un groupe d'artistes, qu'il baptise Die Brücke (Le pont), indiquant ainsi l'intention des jeunes participants de bâtir un pont entre les éléments révolutionnaires de l'époque. Le nom vient d'une phrase de Nietzsche, dans Ainsi parlait Zarathustra. Le groupe, issu du Jugendstil, est influencé par Hermann Obrist. Il s'installe dans une ancienne boucherie. Karl Schmidt-Rottluff interrompt alors ses études d'architecture, au bout d'un semestre, et décide de se consacrer aux arts visuels. En novembre 1905, la première exposition de Die Brücke, a lieu, dans une galerie de Leipzig. En 1906, Karl Schidt-Rottluff fait la connaissance d'Emil Nolde et l'invite à rejoindre le groupe. Hermann Max Pechstein adhère également à Die Brücke, en 1906. C'est aussi l'année où est publié le premier recueil de gravures de Die Brücke. Rosa Schapire, historienne d'art de Hambourg, participe au groupe, en tant que membre passif, à partir de 1907. Karl Schmitt-Rottluff peint son portrait, en 1911 et 1919, et décore son appartement de Hambourg, créant, pour son salon, des meubles, des textiles, des boîtes et des murs colorés. Il conçoit également des vêtements et des bijoux pour elle. Treize de ces derniers sont exposés dans les collections d'art de Chemnitz. Gustav Schiefler, juriste à Hambourg, commence à collectionner les œuvres graphiques de Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. Le peintre Max Pechstein, le seul à avoir fait des études académiques de peinture, est exclu du groupe à cause de sa participation au mouvement Sécession berlinoise. Grâce à Otto Mueller , qui rejoint le groupe en 1910, Die Brücke s'installe à Berlin, à l'automne 1911. Kirchner arrive en octobre, suivi de Heckel et Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, en décembre. C'est dans la capitale allemande que Lyonel Feininger fait découvrir le cubisme à Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. Van Dongen sert d'intermédiaire entre le groupe et les fauvistes parisiens. Le , Die Brücke se dissout et certains de ses membres se tournent vers le cubisme ou le futurisme. Karl Schmitt-Rottluff, solitaire par nature, n'a pas vraiment été un participant actif aux activités de l'association. Entre 1907 et 1912, souvent accompagné de Heckel, il séjourne, l'été, à Dangast, au nord d'Oldenburg, où il peint de nombreux tableaux.

L'expressionnisme

Karl Schmitt-Rottluff participe, en 1910, aux expositions de la Nouvelle Sécession, à Berlin. Il découvre la sculpture de l'Afrique. En 1911, il effectue un voyage en Norvège, au cours duquel il peint un certain nombre de paysages. Il fréquente également le groupe Der Blaue Reiter, participant à la seconde exposition de ce dernier, en 1912, à Munich. Cette même année, il expose également avec le Sonderbund, à Cologne, aux côtés de Heckel et Kirchner, avec lesquels il se rend, à la fin de l'été, sur l'île de Fehmarn, dans la mer Baltique. En 1912, il voyage à Paris, en Italie et en Dalmatie. Il rejoint la Nouvelle Sécession en 1914, ce qui lui permet d'organiser ses premières expositions particulières. La première a lieu à la galerie Fritz Gürlitt. Karl Schmidt-Rottluff répond à une enquête menée par le périodique Kunst und Künstler, sur la définition d'un nouveau programme pour l'art. À cette époque, il est influencé par Picasso et le cubisme, ainsi que par l'art africain. C'est aussi la période où il peint ses premiers portraits et réalise également des sculptures. Il expose à Hambourg et Iéna.

Durant la Première Guerre mondiale, il s'engage comme soldat dans un bataillon du génie, en Lituanie et en Russie, de mai 1915 à 1918. Il est affecté à l'État-major. En 1916, il participe activement à la fondation, à Berlin, du Groupe de novembre (). Traumatisé par la brutalité des combats et incapable de peindre, il pratique alors la gravure sur bois, créant notamment un cycle de huit œuvres religieuses sur des thèmes du Nouveau Testament, en 1917 et 1918, inspiré par les horreurs de la guerre et où les plages noires prédominent.

Après la guerre, il épouse la photographe Emmy Frisch, en 1918. Entre 1918 et 1921, il est membre du Conseil ouvrier pour l'art et participe au journal Action. L'architecte Walter Gropius l'invite, en 1919, à donner des cours à l'institut du Bauhaus. Il enseigne également à l'Académie de Berlin. En collaboration avec Rosa Schapire et Wilhelm Niemeyer, il fonde la publication expressionniste Die rote Erde (La terre rouge) et, en 1920 et 1921, le journal d'art Kündung. En 1932, il s'installe à Rumbke, sur le Lebasee, en Poméranie.

Cette période est marquée par l'influence de Vincent van Gogh, d'Edvard Munch et de l'art primitif. La vie paysanne devient un de ses sujets de prédilection. L'artiste voyage au Tessin (1928 et 1929), dans les monts du Taunus, en Italie (1923), à Paris (1924) et à Rome, où il passe l'année 1930 à l'Académie allemande de la villa Massimo. En 1931, il est nommé membre de l'Académie des arts de Prusse. Lors des Jeux olympiques de 1936, la galerie Ferdinand Möller (Ferdinand Möller Galerie) expose 70 de ses aquarelles. La même année, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff  expose à la Galerie Westermann (Westermann Gallery), à New York. En février et , 40 aquarelles sont exposées à Berlin, à la galerie Karl Buchholz.

Art dégénéré
En 1938, 608 œuvres d'art de Karl Schmidt-Rottluff sont qualifiées d'art dégénéré (Entartete Kunst), par les nazis, et retirées des musées allemands. 25 d'entre elles sont présentées dans l'exposition Entartete Kunst. Celle-ci, conçue par Goebbels, stigmatise la presque totalité de l'art moderne. Karl Schmidt-Rottluff y figure, aux côtés de Kirchner, Matisse, Picasso, Van Gogh et Chagall. Plusieurs de ses œuvres sont détruites par le feu, lors de l'autodafé de peintures du , dans la cour de la caserne centrale des pompiers de Berlin. Pendant le même temps, comme Ernst Barlach et Emil Nolde, il présente une partie de son travail à l'Exposition d'artisanat, qui se tient sous le patronage du Front allemand du travail. Rosa Schapire se réfugie en Angleterre, en 1939, emportant avec elle plusieurs de ses œuvres.

En 1941, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff est interdit d'exercice de la peinture et exclu de la Chambre de la Culture du Reich (). La lettre de renvoi est rédigée par Adolf Ziegler, le dirigeant de cette institution. Cette mise à l'écart est, en fait, la fin d'un long processus, commencé en 1933 par son exclusion de l'Académie des arts de Prusse, lors de l'avènement du nazisme, et poursuivi, en 1936, par une interdiction d'exposition. À partir de 1941, le peintre est surveillé par la police nazie. Il quitte alors Berlin pour se retirer à Rottluff. Cette même année, les bombardements de Berlin détruisent son appartement et son atelier, ainsi qu'une partie importante de son œuvre. D'autres peintures, stockées en Silésie, sont détruites en 1945.

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale (1939-1945), Karl Schmitt-Rottluff revient à Berlin, en 1946, et préside la Ligue culturelle pour le renouveau démocratique. Il recommence à peindre. En 1947, il est nommé professeur à l'université des Beaux-Arts, à Berlin-Charlottenburg, où il enseigne jusqu'en 1954. Il se rend à Ascona, en 1949. Il participe à l'exposition documenta 1, à Cassel, en 1955. En 1964, il abandonne la peinture sur toile pour l'aquarelle. Lors de son quatre-vingtième anniversaire, en 1964, il propose de créer, à Berlin, un musée consacré à Die Brücke. Après trois ans de travaux le musée est ouvert à Berlin-Zehlendorf, le , avec plusieurs œuvres données par Karl Schmitt-Rottluff lui-même et Erich Heckel, encore en vie à ce moment-là.

En 1974, à l'occasion du  de sa naissance, Karl Schmitt-Rottluff est nommé membre honoraire de l'Académie des Beaux-Arts de Stuttgart, sur la proposition de son recteur, Wolfgang Kermer. Il est membre de l'Association des artistes allemands (). Dernier survivant de Die Brücke, il meurt, à l'âge de 91 ans, le , à Berlin, après une longue maladie, quelques mois après Emmy Schmidt-Rottluff en 1975. Il est enterré dans le cimetière forestier de Dahlem, à Berlin-Dahlem. Le premier directeur du musée de Die Brücke prononce son éloge funèbre. Sa tombe est une des tombes d'honneur de Berlin.

Les séjours au bord de la mer Baltique

Tout au long de sa vie, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff effectue des séjours au bord de la mer Baltique. Il y peint des paysages de couleurs vives et aux dessins simples, ainsi que des natures mortes. Les séjours sont :

 1906 : île d'Alsen (), au Danemark aujourd'hui à l'époque dans l'Empire allemand, en compagnie de Nolde.
 1913 : Nida, sur l'isthme de Courlande (Prusse orientale).
 1914 et 1919 : Hohwacht, dans la baie de Lübeck, sur la côte du Holstein.
 1920 à 1931 : Jarosławiec, en Poméranie.
 1932 à 1943 : Rumbke, sur le Lebasee ().
 1951 à 1970 : Sierksdorf, dans la baie de Lübeck.

Œuvres
Parmi les œuvres de Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, les paysages occupent une place prépondérante. Cependant, on trouve des portraits, notamment de l'historienne d'art Rosa Schapire, avec laquelle il se lie d'amitié, et de Lyonel Feininger, un représentant de l'expressionnisme. Karl Schmidt-Rottluff peint aussi des nus. C'est un graveur prolifique, avec 446 gravures sur bois, 121 lithographies, 70 gravures, 96 intailles et 78 estampes commerciales non numérotées recensées dans le catalogue raisonné, établi par Rosa Schapire. Pratiquement toutes ses gravures sont exécutées entre 1905 à 1927, date à laquelle il abandonne tout travail graphique. De 1906 à 1912, il réalise ses propres impressions, en tirages limités. Après cette période, il embauche des professionnels et fait des éditions de 25 à 30 exemplaires. On notera, en particulier, les gravures sur bois produites durant l'année 1914.

 Style
À ses débuts, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff est nettement influencé par l'impressionnisme, ainsi que par les œuvres d'art qu'il a pu voir au musée ethnographique de Dresde. Il prend souvent comme sujets des paysages de l'Allemagne du nord et de Scandinavie, notamment des paysages hivernaux. À partir de 1923, sous l'influence de la lithographie, les formes géométriques prennent une place plus importante dans son œuvre, avec des contours courbes ou arrondis, fortement stylisés. Sa peinture présente des effets dynamiques, avec une pâte épaisse. Son style est agressif, avec des couleurs pures explosives, sous l'influence des fauves. La composition se simplifie et devient plus monumentale. L'absence de perspective fait de certains de ses tableaux des œuvres presque abstraites.

Les peintures créées après la Seconde Guerre mondiale restent encore fortement expressionnistes, mais les couleurs sont plus atténuées. Karl Schmidt-Rottluff se tourne, par la suite, vers l'aquarelle.

L'artiste pratique aussi la gravure sur bois, la lithographie et la gravure. Il est considéré comme un classique des modernes.

This came together very easily, and is quite tasty. My only change was to use part chard and part kale, as that's what I had on hand in the freezer.
Another easy meal. Make sure you chop your tofu into small pieces – about the size of the chickpeas. Since I'm making this in the winter, I used 3 cups of cubed butternut squash I'd stashed in the freezer in the fall, and about 2 cups of kale just to bulk it up some more. This was pretty good but next time around I'm going to first marinate the tofu in something citrusy, fry it until golden, and then proceed. I also won't try to get the chickpeas to brown as that didn't seem to work for me, so they were a bit mushy.
Very simple soup. I messed with the proportions, using three large red potatoes, and doubling everything else. I also subbed half and half for about half a cup of the milk, just to add a little creaminess, since I use skim milk.
I was actually partway through making the early grey muffins recipe in one of my cookbooks when I came to a screeching halt – my regular yogurt had gone bad (and then some) and I didn't have anything else I could substitute. Because of this I have one major difference in what I did vs what this recipe instructs – I used way more tea (4 tablespoons) and steeped it longer – not sure exactly how long, but I'd say maybe 10-15 minutes total steeping time. They are absolutely delicious and have a wonderful tea aroma.
These disappeared at the brunch I brought them to. I didn't have any espresso powder so I skipped that step, and as a result I felt like they lost some depth. I did use a vanilla bean, which gave them a nice aroma.

Victoria County remains in state of emergency as roads, bridges "compromised" from storm flooding
'I've been living here since 1985, ... and this is the worst rainstorm event ever'
Jessica Smith | Posted: Nov. 24, 2021, 6:31 p.m. | Updated: Nov. 25, 2021, 11 a.m. | 10 Min Read
INGONISH, N.S. — Denise and Frank Doucette spent a good chunk of Wednesday ankle-deep in water.
The Cape Bretoners weren't outside anywhere – they were in their basement.
Theirs was one of many houses in Ingonish with flooded lawns, backyards, front walkways and basements after Tuesday's heavy rain and winds brought over 200 millimetres of rain to the community.

'We lost everything': Cape Breton couple impacted by flooding

"I've been living here since 1985, which is pretty well 36 years, and this is the worst rainstorm event ever," said Frank Doucette. "These atmospheric rivers are something new to us now. If it's gonna be more frequent or more severe, if that's the case (then) we'll have to move to higher ground."
Doucette had two inches of water in his basement by 8 a.m. Wednesday and he and Denise were busy scrubbing away mud, grass and other remnants of the outdoors dragged in by floodwaters.
"I faired off okay, I had a couple inches (of water) in my basement," he said. "But my mother, she didn't fair off so good and my neighbour next door, he's probably got about four or five feet in his basement. So I'm kinda lucky."
Denise and Frank Doucette spent Wednesday morning and afternoon cleaning their basement, which had two inches of floodwaters in it Wednesday morning. JESSICA SMITH/CAPE BRETON POST
Doucette said their basement's carpeting and rugs were destroyed and they had some damaged hardwood flooring that was being stored in the basement for work upstairs. However, he's just happy no one was killed in the severe flooding in Victoria County, which declared a state of emergency Tuesday evening in the storm that hit all three Maritime provinces.
"(We're) being isolated now (with) the roads north (of Ingonish) washed out," said Frank, referring to several bridges in Victoria County that were completely washed out in floodwaters.
Lyle Donovan, Emergency Management Office co-ordinator for Victoria County, commented on the ongoing state of emergency for the region that instructed residents Wednesday to stay indoors and off roads.

"We're asking people to shelter in place because we want crews and everyone to be safe. It created a bit of havoc with people out and around unnecessarily. What we're afraid of is somebody getting hurt."
Victoria County Warden Bruce Morrison said that some areas of the municipality were more affected than others and that the storm had more impact north of Smokey.
"Our primary concern is the safety and security of our residents," Morrison said. "In and around the Ingonish area and Neils harbour are two areas of concern right now. … They have had some roads compromised and some bridges (compromised) as well."
The Department of Public Works had closed the section of Cabot Trail Road leading to Neils Harbour due to road washouts from Tuesday's rain. JESSICA SMITH/CAPE BRETON POST

The Department of Public Works was on site Wednesday assessing the condition of impacted roads and bridges.
As of 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, the following roads and bridges were closed in Victoria County:
Gold Brook Bridge
Cabot Trail near Black Point
Cabot Trail from New Haven Road to Ingonish
Tarbotvale Road
Oregon Road, North River
West Tarbot Road
East Margaree Cross Road
White Point Road
New Haven Road from the New Haven Bridge to Neils Harbour
Yankee Line Road
Barra Glen Road
West Side Middle River Road
Ingonish Beach Doucette Road
In Inverness County:
East Big Intervale Road at Harts Bridge
Orangedale-Iona Road
"The other thing we're concerned (about) is that it could be a rain event (Wednesday night) and on the weekend, so we're obviously very concerned as we move forward with the weather," Morrison said.
Premier Tim Houston said in a Wednesday morning briefing that the record rainstorm in parts of eastern Nova Scotia was a "pretty scary" situation for many and that the federal government has reached out with assistance.
"The Nova Scotia Emergency Management Office is working with the affected municipalities and other partners including the Department of Public Works and (Department of) Health and Wellness to co-ordinate efforts in Pictou, Antigonish, Inverness and Victoria counties," said Houston.
JESSICA SMITH/CAPE BRETON POST
"… If you've had a chance to see some of the pictures and hear some of the accounts, it was pretty extensive damage. ... We will assess what's necessary and the federal government has said they will be there for support. We won't hesitate to take them up on that should it be necessary. But right now the first priority is to make sure people are safe and then assess how we go forward," he said.
Inverness County also dealt with road washouts, though to a lesser degree, said Keith MacDonald, the county's chief administrative officer.
"There were some areas of flooding, particularly along the East Margaree Cross Road and East Big Intervale Road," MacDonald said. "The road closure in West Lake Ainslie has been lifted, but Nova Scotia Public Works will also be assessing the gravel roads in the municipality over the next number of days.
"Luckily, there were limited power outages and we have no reports of anyone being isolated during the weather event."

Flash Alert: Since I wrote this report 2 days ago – one of the Cryptocurrencies increased by 13% – and is still extremely affordable!
I have been involved in the financial services industry for more than 25 years, mostly on the tech side, working with new payment platforms and technologies, both online and mobile.
In fact, back in 2011, a company that I worked with at the time was one of the first processors for BitInstant, which later made the news when it's owner, Charlie Shrem, gained some serious attention for his involvement with the Dark Web and Silk Road. (Fortunately, we became wary of the situation and severed the relationship waaaay before all of that occurred!).
But to be very honest, I did not invest in Bitcoin back then. Obviously, I wish I had but there were other obligations at the time – like putting kids through college. Considering my early 'insider' track…pretty embarrassing actually.
Right now, though, the ENTIRE cryptocurrency market is exploding, and there are MANY opportunities out there that COULD be just as lucrative as Bitcoin.
But – time to get back into the mix as cryptocurrencies have just become too 'interesting' to ignore!
So…here's the scoop: I've spent most of January doing some serious research into the top 12 'alt currencies' on the market today, a quick overview of each and the current market position and market cap etc, as well as the top exchanges, as rated by customers, PLUS the top wallets and exchanges.
And because of my years in the financial services industry, I picked the brains of trusted friends and business associates that (unlike me) have been deeply entrenched in the cryptocurrency world for a while now.
no fluff, no sales pitches.
There are no upsells, this is it.
As always, we offer a 30 day Money Back Guarantee – but I promise you that this report is worth far more than what you are paying for it here today!

Children's Medical Center Dallas is the Only North Texas Hospital Ranked in 10 out of 10 Pediatric Specialties by U.S. News & World Report By: | Thursday, June 28, 2018
Report solidifies Children's Health as a leader in pediatric health care across the nation
DALLAS (June 26, 2018) – Children's Health℠, the eighth-largest pediatric health care provider in the
nation and the leading pediatric health care system in North Texas, proudly announces that Children's Medical Center Dallas, the system's flagship hospital, has once again been recognized among the nation's best pediatric hospitals by U.S. News & World Report for 2018-2019. Children's Medical Center is the only hospital in North Texas ranked in all 10 pediatric specialties in the annual Best Children's Hospital report, which is based on patient treatment outcomes.
"In our second century of service, Children's Health remains dedicated to our mission of making life better for children," said Christopher J. Durovich, president and chief executive officer of Children's Health. "As the only pediatric hospital in North Texas ranked in 10 out of 10 specialties, this outstanding achievement is a testament to both our commitment to excellence, as well as our vision and aspirations for the future. I am humbled and honored to work alongside each of our team members, with special thanks to our colleagues at UT Southwestern, who helped us achieve this milestone."
The U.S. News & World Report rankings help patients better assess and decide where they choose to receive care. Children's Health continues to garner national recognition as a system because of its world-renowned clinical programs, innovative technology and academic affiliation with UT Southwestern Medical Center — one of the premier academic medical centers in the nation.
"Our pediatric physicians, who are the primary clinical providers at Children's Medical Center, share in the deeply held commitment of our Children's Health colleagues to deliver the best possible care to Children's Health patients and families in the North Texas region and beyond," said Dr. Daniel K. Podolsky, president of UT Southwestern Medical Center. "We are honored to see our collective commitment to excellence and innovation in patient care recognized nationally by U.S. News & World Report."
To create the pediatric rankings, U.S. News & World Report gathers key clinical data from nearly 200 medical centers through a detailed survey that looks at measures such as patient safety, infection prevention and adequacy of nurse staffing. In addition, part of each hospital's score is derived from
surveys of more than 11,000 pediatric specialists who are asked where they would send the sickest children in their specialty. Children's Medical Center Dallas overall rankings for 2018-2019 include:
Orthopedics: No. 3
Gastroenterology & GI Surgery: No. 6
Cardiology & Heart Surgery: No. 7
Urology: No. 13
Neurology & Neurosurgery: No. 14
Nephrology: No. 16
Diabetes & Endocrinology: No. 22
Neonatology: No. 24
Cancer: No. 28
Pulmonology: No. 47
"Children's Health is driven by the continued pursuit of excellence and advancement to improve the lives of the nearly 300,000 patient families we serve each year," said David Berry, president, system clinical
and scientific operations at Children's Health. "We are extremely proud to have our tireless efforts acknowledged and affirmed by an institution as reputable as U.S. News and World Report."

1 When thou go forth to battle against thine enemies, and see horses, and chariots, [and] a people more than thou, thou shall not be afraid of them, for LORD thy God is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
3 and shall say to them, Hear, O Israel, ye draw near this day to battle against your enemies. Let not your heart faint. Fear not, nor tremble, neither be ye frightened at them.
4 For LORD your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
5 And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, What man is there who has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
6 And what man is there who has planted a vineyard, and has not used the fruit of it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man use the fruit of it.
7 And what man is there who has betrothed a wife, and has not taken her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
8 And the officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, What man is there who is fearful and faint-hearted? Let him go and return to his house, lest his brother's heart melt as his heart.
9 And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking to the people, that they shall appoint captains of armies at the head of the people.
10 When thou draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
11 And it shall be, if it makes to thee an answer of peace, and opens to thee, then it shall be, that all the people that are found in it shall become tributary to thee, and shall serve thee.
12 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shall besiege it.
14 but the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil of it, thou shall take for a prey to thyself. And thou shall eat the spoil of thine enemies, which LORD thy God has given thee.
15 Thus thou shall do to all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
18 that they not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods, so ye would sin against LORD your God.
20 Only the trees of which thou know that they are not trees for food, thou shall destroy and cut them down. And thou shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with thee, until it falls.


In the current market, if an electronic component distributor wants to supply parts/services to the high reliability market, it must be able to comply with the strictest quality, statutory, and regulatory requirements/standards in addition to being registered to the latest industry certifications just to maintain a reputable presence, never mind stay competitive.
However, the process of preparing, applying, and being audited for an industry certification can be quite time-consuming and a costly endeavor, especially for a distributor procuring parts for the aerospace and defense industries. A distributor must be willing to invest a considerable amount of time streamlining quality processes, providing additional employee training, and supplying the capital needed to become registered to a number of industry standards through an accredited registrar such as National Quality Assurance (NQA).
As an independent distributor that has demonstrated a commitment to quality every step of the way for over 35 years, Converge is pleased to have achieved certification to AS9120 as well as AS6081.
The AS9120 standard, "Quality Management Systems-Aerospace Requirements for Stockist Distributors," includes ISO 9001 quality management system requirements and specifies 100 additional key requirements for a quality management system for the aerospace/defense industry. This standard also addresses chain of custody, traceability, control, and availability of records.
The AS6081 standard, "Fraudulent/Counterfeit Electronic Parts: Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation, and Disposition – Distributors," was created in response to a significant and increasing volume of fraudulent/counterfeit electronic parts entering the aerospace/defense supply chain. The premise of AS6081 is to provide uniform requirements to mitigate the risks of purchasing and supplying fraudulent/counterfeit electronic parts.
So what does this mean for our customers?
Converge customers can feel confident that we have been industry-certified in standardized practices and methods to consistently provide electronics parts that meet the strictest customer and statutory/regulatory requirements demanded by the aerospace and defense industries. We have established quality processes globally, ensuring the procurement of only the most highly reliable and quality parts from reputable sources, further proving our commitment to continuous improvement while reducing the risk of counterfeit or substandard parts entering the supply chain.
In addition, we have solid market expertise, integrated systems, and a global footprint to help our customers plan for shortages and obsolescence.
For more information on our most recent certifications and/or the services we can provide in your high reliability industry, contact us.

When I think back to my high school prom, I remember my date picked me up in a Hyundai. I was mildly embarrassed but he was mildly cute so I let it slide. My, my how times have changed. Today Hyundai offers some of the best looking cars available and at a price much lower than their competitors. But does Hyundai have what it takes to beat the Germans at their own game? Today we'll look at the 2013 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 and the 2013 Audi A6 3.0T Premium Quattro and see how the stack up against one another.
The Genesis features a 3.8L V6 good for 333 horsepower and 291 lb/ft of torque. You'll get to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. Power goes to the rear wheels via an 8 speed automatic transmission. EPA fuel ratings are 18 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway, and 22 mpg combined.
It is in the offering of standard features that Hyundai stands out. The Genesis includes 17" alloy wheels, keyless ignition/entry, heated front seats, 7 speaker sound system with a CD player and satellite radio, Bluetooth, iPod integration, power accessories, foglamps, and LED running lights.
Add the Premium package for 18" wheels, navigation, a 7-inch touchscreen, sunroof, rearview camera, a 14 speaker sound system, folding outside mirrors, automatic wipers, leather trim, driver's seat memory, and a tilt and telescoping steering wheel. The Technology package adds heated rear seats, cooled driver's seat, a 17 speaker sound system, lane departure warning system, adaptive xenon headlamps, adaptive cruise control, an 8" touchscreen, and enhanced navigation and Bluetooth systems.
The Hyundai Genesis is a luxury car first, a sport sedan second. As such the ride is soft, yet never floaty. It can stay planted through twisties or defensive city driving fairly well and steering is precise, although offers minimal feedback. Acceleration is smooth and engine a road noise rarely intrude on the quiet cabin.
The Audi A6 3.0T comes to us with a supercharged 3.0L V6, knocking out 310 horsepower and 325 lb/ft of torque. Power gets to all four wheels via an 8 speed automatic transmission. 60 mph comes in 5.2 seconds and the EPA estimates fuel consumption at 18 mpg in the city, 27 mpg on the highway, and 22 mpg combined.
Standard features on the A6 3.0T Premium include 18" wheels, Audi Drive Select, a sunroof, power accessories, 8 way power adjustable front seats, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, Bluetooth, iPod connectivity, a 10 speaker sound system with CD player, heated front seats, LED running lights, rearview camera, keyless entry/ignition, navigation, an in-care wireless hotspot, and a start/stop system.
As with any German car there are many stand-alone options and packages. The Cold Weather package adds heated rear seats, the Sport package comes with a sport tuned suspension and steering wheel and some tire and wheel choices. The Innovation package adds adaptive cruise control, heads up display, blind-spot warning system, active lane assist, and a top view camera.
Behind the wheel the Audi A6 feels light and nimble for a full sized sedan. The AWD Quattro system gives you plenty of confidence on the back roads and in inclement weather. Even without the optional sport tuned suspension the car still feels balanced and ready to take on whatever the city can throw in its path, albeit with a ride slightly on the stiff side. The supercharged engine has a quick off the line response and when pushed in Sport mode, the automatic transmission shifts smoothly under full acceleration. It will even rev-match on your downshifts, keeping things as refined as possible.
The 2013 Genesis 3.8 starts at $34,200 and the 2013 Audi A6 3.0T Premium Quattro is just a bit more, starting at $50,400. That's right, over $16,000 difference in starting price. Even when you factor in the price for the Premium ($4800) and Technology ($4300) packages on the Hyundai, you're still looking at a price of $43,300. And I haven't even added on the price for the Audi optional packages.
Some would argue then that these two aren't in the class, but they are matched in both power, fuel efficiency, and features. It's hard to say no to the Genesis. Sure you don't get the pedigree of driving a German sedan, but I can think of plenty of places I'd rather spend the price difference of $7100. Road trip anyone?

Q: How to deal with controling force by positioning oscillating magnet? I am trying to code up a closed loop control system on force generated by the paring of strong rare earth magnets. I do not have much experience with PID logic but i have a weak grasp of the basics (ie controlling temp or something).
I am confused by the situation I find myself in below because I need to control through the positioning of the magnet. My positioning system is worm gear motor which will have a oscillating force wave-shape, which is by design since I want cyclical loading. The problem is I think this makes control way more difficult. I already have an issue in that the relationship between force and position is not linear. I think that can be managed, What I am concerned about is programing the controller to deal with the fact that if the motor goes far enough the force will not go up but down.
Ideally I would like to moderate the speed so that I could produce any sort of force(time) profile I want, without the motor going forward and reverse at all. Just accelerate/de-accelerate in one direction as necessary to fit the input curve during each revolution.
I have this set up on the beaglebone black with a PRU running the loop control. I chose this because the PRU has 5ns instruction processing times so it should be very quick the react to changes. I have a load cell digitizer capable 460800 baud rate which will be my limiting factor in processing the signals.
My first order of business is dealing with the the motor turning in one direction will both raise and lower the force depending on position. How do I cope with that? and then how do I deal with the non-linear relationship between force and magnet position.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

UPDATE
So I realized that having a stepper motor would make my life a lot easier but I want to see this through to the end...
\$Force =f(\theta) \;\;\;\ empirical \;relation \$
\$\theta = \int \dot{\theta}dt \;\;\;\  \$
\$\dot{\theta} = f(Voltage) \;\;\;\ empirical \;relation \$
I plan to handle this by modeling these functions empirically. I feel to finish my system I need some means of converting angular speed to a angle position. Now I have an integration relation which would connect these two empirical black boxes.
In terms of knowledge of the state of the system I will always know the angle position, force and voltage at all times. I can only regulate the speed. I plan to achieve my Force(time) trace by speeding up and slowing down. I will also ensure I can achieve the max force before running.
How can I control this system with these empirical relations?
some sample wave forms for reference...

A: This answer is going to be rather abstract.
Let the direction your magnet travels be the x direction.
You have one known or knowable function from the position of the magnet to the force exerted.  So let \$F = f_{pf}(x)\$.  This function is monotonically increasing with \$x\$, which makes things easy.
You can calculate the position of the moving magnet with respect to the crank angle.  Let \$x = f_{a p}(\theta)\$.  Note that -- as discussed -- this is periodic on \$\theta\ \mathrm{mod}\ 2\pi\$ (and roughly, but not exactly, sinusoidal).  It's also going to be continuous. This means that  \$x\$ is constrained such that \$x \in [x_{min}, x_{max}]\$.  Working backwards, it means that \$F\$ is also constrained: \$F \in [F_{min}, F_{max}]\$.
This means that \$F = f_{pf}\left (f_{ap}(\theta) \right)\$
You want the force to be some periodic -- and presumably continuous -- function of time, and you're willing to live with the constraints on \$F\$.
So -- easy peasy.  Define your desired \$F(t)\$.  For any value of \$F\$ in the interval \$[F_{min}, F_{max}]\$ there exists not one, but two values of \$\theta\$ that give you that force.  So if you're at \$F_1, \theta_1\$ and you want to go to \$F_2\$, solve \$F_2 = f_{pf}\left (f_{ap}(\theta_2) \right)\$ for the two possible values of \$\theta_2\$ and choose the one that you'll get to first.
For a predetermined force vs. time relationship, solve \$F = f_{pf}\left (f_{ap}(\theta) \right)\$ for as many points as you need to get the precision you want for \$F(t)\$, making sure that \$\theta(t)\$ goes in a circle.  Then control your motor with a PID controller to make it follow your predetermined \$\theta(t)\$.
