Samsung is top global semiconductor buyer
Samsung Electronics is the world's top semiconductor buyer, and together with second placed Apple, increased their combined semiconductor demand by 17 percent in 2013, according to Gartner.
The two companies consumed US$53.7 billion of semiconductors in 2013, an increase of $7.7 billion from 2012.
"Samsung Electronics and Apple have topped the semiconductor consumption table for three years running, with their share of the design total available market (TAM) rising from 12 per cent in 2011, to 17 per cent in 2013," said Masatsune Yamaji, Principal Research Analyst of Gartner. "This increase clearly shows how fast the presence of these two companies has expanded over the last three years and why their decisions have technology and pricing implications for the whole semiconductor industry."

APAC PC market shrank 10% in 2013
The Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) PC market declined 10 percent in 2013 to reach 108 million units, according to preliminary results from IDC.
The economic sluggishness in big emerging markets in the region adversely affected buying sentiments, with education sector projects being a lone bright spot in the commercial space, without which the region could have dropped even further. On the consumer side, smartphone and tablet distractions spread throughout the region this year, further contributing to the sharp decline in the PC market.
In Q4, the market came in two percent below IDC's initial forecasts with a nine percent year-on-year decline. While most of the region was generally in line with forecasts, Thailand stood out as an exception, as the market there was plagued by the ongoing political turmoil. Shipment volumes this quarter will likely be the lowest in Thailand in the last four years.

APAC PC shipment down 11.2% in Q3
APAC PC shipment continued to head south with 28.1 million units in Q3, an 11.2 percent decline from Q3 of 2012, according to Gartner. Factors contributing to the drop were currency volatilities, especially in India and Indonesia, where currencies plunged to record lows. Vendors were careful in managing inventory, bearing in mind Windows 8.1 and new models based on Intel's Bay Trail that will start shipping the following quarter.
Globally, PC shipment totaled 80.3 million units in Q3, an 8.6 percent decline from the same period last year. This marks the sixth consecutive quarter of declining worldwide shipments.
"The third quarter is often referred to as the 'back-to-school' quarter for PC sales, and sales this quarter dropped to their lowest volume since 2008," said Mikako Kitagawa, Principal Analyst of Gartner. "Consumers' shift from PCs to tablets for daily content consumption continued to decrease the installed base of PCs both in mature as well as in emerging markets. A greater availability of inexpensive Android tablets attracted first-time consumers in emerging markets, and as supplementary devices in mature markets."

Tablets fail to lift flat PC market in Q2
Tablet shipment's growth 42.9 percent iwas not enough to lift a sluggish PC market in Q2. Desktop and notebook shipments fell 7.4 percent and 13.9 percent respectively, according to Canalys, which believes that tablets will outsell notebooks by Q4.
PC shipment in the Asia Pacific region declined 0.5 percent year-on-year to just over 40 million units. The region was badly affected by slow shipment in China, which accounted for almost 45 percent of the region's shipment and declined by about six percent.
Demand for smartphones and tablets is increasing around the world. Faced by an industry in transition, channel partners are exercising caution when planning and placing orders.

Global printing dips but APeJ bucks trend
Worldwide page volume from digital hardcopy devices has dipped to 2.98 trillion in 2012 from 3.03 trillion in 2011, a decline of 1.5 percent year over year, according to IDC.
However, in spite of the decline, the world continues to print at a good clip. Developed countries continued their negative page growth trend, driven by digital workflows, adoption of managed print services (MPS) and anemic economies. The silver lining for print volume in developed economies appears to be net new incremental pages from mobile devices.
While it may seem counter intuitive, smartphone and tablet users are generating more print volume compared to non-tablet/smartphone users.

China pulls down APAC PC market in Q2
The PC market slowdown continued in Q2 with Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) dropping one percent last quarter and 11 percent year-on-year in Q2 to reach 26.7 million units, according to IDC's preliminary results.
Weak sell-in amid ongoing consumer distractions, such as phones and tablets, as well as a slowing economy affected the PC market performance in China, which pulled the entire region down. While consumer sentiment in the rest of region was also tepid, a higher-than-expected shipment for a large education notebook project in India helped to offset some of this decline.
"The second half of this year still faces a number of challenges such as economic and channel conditions in China as well as uncertainty around an education project in India," said Handoko Andi, Research Manager at IDC Asia/Pacific. "It's possible for the market to bottom out and recover by 2014 as technology evolves, but IDC confidence is low at the moment given all of the forces tugging at each other right now."

Lenovo nudges HP off global PC perch
Lenovo became the number one PC vendor in Q2 as HP slid to second with Dell coming in third.
According to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker, Lenovo continued its streak of gains following channel expansion and solid product development. In Q2, it made impressive gains outside of Asia Pacific except Japan (APeJ). However, the headwinds in China continued to affect its home turf significantly. Lenovo ended the quarter with a double-digit decline in APeJ. Overall growth has slowed from prior quarters, and slipped into negative territory this quarter, but still outpaced the market and top competitors.
HP slipped to second place, but growth improved from recent quarters. It was boosted by shipments to India as part of large education projects. Despite ongoing uncertainty surrounding its restructuring, Dell performed above market with a decline of 4.5 percent. As with HP, this was a significant improvement from the past year that was aided by improving growth in the US. It managed to perform above market in all key regions except APeJ.

Thailand's PC market declines 20% in Q1
Sluggish demand in Thailand's consumer market helped drive PC shipment down 20 percent in Q1, compared to the same period last year.
According to IDC's Asia/Pacific Quarterly PC Tracker, PC shipment reached only 800,000 units in Q1.
"Channel partners reacted quickly to the slowdown by reducing PC buy-in to make room for faster-moving devices like tablets" said Jarit Sidhu, Market Analyst for Client Devices Research at IDC Thailand.

Vietnam's PC market up in Q1
It looks like Indonesia is not the only market where PC sale is still heading north. Vietnam's PC market grew by 13 percent in Q1 compared to the same period last year, according to IDC's Vietnam Quarterly PC Tracker.
Nearly 500,000 PCs were shipped despite concerns over high inventory.
Anticipation of growing consumer demands in under-penetrated areas of Vietnam spurred vendors to increase consumer PC shipments.

APAC shines in gloomy Q1 for servers
The Asia/Pacific posted the strongest growth in server shipment (7.0 percent) and revenue (1.7 percent) year-on-year in Q1.
The US was the only other region to post growth, according to Gartner.
"While these two regions grew in both shipments and revenue, it was not enough to offset the declines of the other geographies – all of which declined in server shipments and revenue for the quarter," said Jeffrey Hewitt, Research Vice President at Gartner.

Gartner: Declining worldwide PC shipments in Q4 of 2012 signal structural shift
Worldwide PC shipments totaled 90.3 million units in the fourth quarter of 2012, a 4.9 percent decline from the fourth quarter of 2011, according to preliminary results by Gartner. Analysts said the PC industry's problems point to something beyond a weak economy.
PC shipments in Asia/Pacific totalled 29.9 million units in the fourth quarter of 2012, a 1.8 percent decline from the fourth quarter of 2011. Vendors struggled to offer compelling products to convince buyers to upgrade and attract new buyers as consumers' interest continues to be on smartphones and tablets. The introduction of Windows 8 met with lukewarm response and availability was primarily on the higher-end models, which were priced beyond the mainstream price point for volume sales.
"Tablets have dramatically changed the device landscape for PCs, not so much by 'cannibalizing' PC sales, but by causing PC users to shift consumption to tablets rather than replacing older PCs," said Mikako Kitagawa, principal analyst at Gartner. "Whereas as once we imagined a world in which individual users would have both a PC and a tablet as personal devices, we increasingly suspect that most individuals will shift consumption activity to a personal tablet, and perform creative and administrative tasks on a shared PC. There will be some individuals who retain both, but we believe they will be exception and not the norm. Therefore, we hypothesise that buyers will not replace secondary PCs in the household, instead allowing them to age out and shifting consumption to a tablet."

Gartner: Worldwide server shipments up 3.6%, revenue down 2.8%
In the third quarter of 2012 worldwide server shipments grew 3.6 percent year-on-year, while revenue decreased 2.8 from the third quarter of 2011, according to Gartner, Inc.
"The third quarter of 2012 again produced shipment growth on a worldwide level, but server revenue was weak due to ongoing economic weakness and market segment differences," said Jeffrey Hewitt, research vice president at Gartner. "Only the North America and Asia/Pacific regions managed any revenue growth, and even those were essentially flat year to year, with North America showing a 1.1 percent increase and Asia/Pacific a 0.7 percent increase. The picture in terms of shipments was slightly more positive with North America, Latin America and Asia/Pacific all growing, but both EMEA and Japan continue to struggle and both saw shipments contract, compared to the same period last year."

$25 could win you a house and support local schools: Love Our Schools Home Giveaway
A new campaign to raise money to help Lafayette Parish public schools hits close to home.
Beginning in July, officials behind the Love Our Schools initiative will be selling $25 tickets for the chance to win a brand-new home valued at $330,000 to be built by Manuel Builders in Couret Farms in Lafayette, just south of Carencro.
The drawing for the Love Our Schools Home Giveaway will be Sept. 21.
There are other big prizes available for early-bird ticket purchases, including a vehicle to be donated by Don's Automotive, a $5,000 cash prize and Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers for one year.
A portion of the proceeds from this home giveaway will be given directly to each school within the Lafayette Parish School System to address their specific areas of need, while the remainder will be used for future Love Our Schools initiatives.
"Enhancing public education is one of the greatest contributions a community can make toward its youth and a vitally important investment in its future," said Nick Pugh, founder of the Pugh Family Foundation, long-time advocate for public education and supporter of Love Our Schools.
"This home giveaway will be an annual fundraiser to help maintain and support Love Our Schools' plans in the years to come. We're proud of the positive impact this organization has had across Lafayette Parish, and we recognize there is still much that needs to be done."

The home giveaway is made possible through Manuel Builders with the donation of the home construction and Southern Lifestyle Development with the donation of the lot.
Working together like this is at the heart of the Love Our Schools educational initiative that began in 2019 with the aim of transforming public schools and elevating communities.
"It is critical that we come together as parents, business leaders, government officials, and residents to ensure that our children have access to a good, quality education," said Matt Stuller, founder of the Stuller Family Foundation and supporter of the initiative. "Education is the single greatest investment that we can make as a society."
Supporting and improving schools impacts not only those in the classroom, leaders said. There is a ripple impact to be felt across the state.
"Ensuring that all students have the opportunity to learn, grow and excel is critically important for a sustainable, prosperous community and a thriving workforce," said Dr. William "Kip" Schumacher, founder of the William C. Schumacher Family Foundation and co-founder of Love Our Schools. "Our community's future begins in our schools, and it's up to all of us to join together to ensure a bright future for Louisiana."

A Submarine is a watercraft capable of independent operation underwater in Grand Theft Auto V.
GTA V features the only functioning and usable submarine in the series so far, the Submersible, taking the form of a small submarine craft, with a bubble cockpit surrounded by a metal tube frame. The release of the enhanced version includes another submarine, the Kraken.
There is also the wreck of a Submersible off of the western coast of Pacific Bluffs and an older submarine from the Cold War era, which resembles either a Soviet Alfa-class submarine or a Charlie-class submarine, off the northeastern coast of Mount Gordo.
In the Los Santos Naval Port, there is a partially deconstructed Soviet Alfa-class submarine owned by Merryweather Security.
In GTA: Online, a setup for the "Bogdan Problem" includes sinking a Russian submarine. This might tie into debate over "spy submarines" in the game.

Sports Finance Report: Kroenke To Complete Takeover, Acquire Remaining 33% Stake in Arsenal Football Club
JohnWallStreet
Wednesday, August 8, 2018 | Updated Aug 08, 2018 8:51 am CDT
Stan Kroenke To Complete Takeover, Acquire Remaining 33% Stake in Arsenal Football Club
Alisher Usmanov has accepted Stan Kroenke's offer of +/- $700 million (at $2.3 billion valuation) for his 30% stake in Arsenal, effectively giving Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) full ownership of the Premier League club. Upon closing, Kroenke who already controlled 67% of the franchise will surpass a key threshold under UK takeover law; anyone owning more than 90% of a company's shares can force the remaining shareholders to sell their stake. Kroenke intends on purchasing the remaining 3% of the franchise from Arsenal Holdings shareholders at a price of +/-$38,000 per share. It must be noted that KSE's acquisition is being funded by a loan, a fact that has Arsenal Holdings shareholders particularly upset.
Howie Long-Short: Arsenal Supporters Trust (AST), the club's largest fan group, claims that by Kroenke taking AFC private AST fans are being forced to give up their role as "custodians who care for the future of the club." Sure, they'll lose their access to annual general meetings and there will be a delay in financial reporting, but to suggest their participation is crucial to the club's success is laughable; even Usmanov, who controlled 30%, hasn't had any voting power or influence since Kroenke took majority ownership back in '11.
Forgive me if I'm underestimating the impact of this deal. As an American sports fan, I'm used to blindly rooting for my favorite teams without ever having the opportunity to hold them accountable.
Fan Marino: Kroenke's decision to take the club private is unlikely to make much of an impact on the pitch, but Arsenal fans are going to notice plenty of changes when their Premier League season gets started this weekend (Sunday against Man City). Unai Emery has replaced Arsene Wenger following a 22-year run as the club's manager.
Arsenal becomes the 5th professional sports franchise under the KSE (Kroenke Sports & Entertainment) umbrella. They also own the Los Angeles Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Rapids (MLS).

Activision Blizzard Sells 2 Overwatch League Expansion Franchises
Activision Blizzard (ATVI) has confirmed the sale of 2 Overwatch League (OWL) expansion franchises, Atlanta and Guangzhou (China), and it's been reported the company is in talks with McCourt Global (an LA-based holding company) to add a team in Paris; though the league has not confirmed that story. With the addition of Atlanta and Guangzhou, ATVI has now sold 14 OWL city-based franchises and it's likely that number will continue to rise before the start of Season 2; ATVI eSports Leagues CEO Pete Vlastelica has stated it's his intention to add 6 new cities (12 participated in Season 1) prior to the start of the '19 season. The Georgia-based conglomerate Cox Enterprises (think: Cox Communications, autotrader.com), in collaboration with Province, Inc. (a consulting firm), will run the Atlanta franchise, while the financial and entertainment conglomerate Nenking Group bought the 2nd China-based OWL team.
Howie Long-Short: Each of the founding 12 city-based franchises paid $20 million for their spots. After a strong inaugural season (they sold-out the Finals at Barclays Center), the cost of participation has already risen by at least +50%; the next 6 franchises (including Atlanta and Guangzhou) to join the league will pay between $30 million-$60 million, depending on the volume of bidders, the market size and density of talent within the city.
Any concerns that the enthusiasm surrounding Fortnite would hurt Activision Blizzard were alleviated as ATVI reported record revenue and EPS for H1 '18 on August 2nd. The company also set a record for mobile revenue in Q2 '18 and grew net income +65% YoY (to $402 million) during the most recent quarter. The good times are expected to roll through H2 '18, with several notable games scheduled for release including; Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth and Destiny 2: Forsaken. Despite an earnings report that beat analyst expectations, ATVI shares are down 5% since; as the company's full year forecast fell short of analyst projections. Activision Blizzard remains up 11% YTD, closing on Tuesday at $70.23.
Fan Marino: Did you know, Patriots owner Bob Kraft, Mets COO Jeff Wilpon, Rams owners Stan & Josh Kroenke, Sacramento Kings co-owners Andy Miller/Mark Mastrov, Texas Rangers co-owner Neil Liebman and the CEO of Comcast Spectacor (owns Flyers) Dave Scott are among the pro sports owners that have purchased (or made an investment into) OWL franchises? You can now add Nenking Group to the list, the company owns the Guangzhou Long Lions of the Chinese Basketball Association.
Correction: We referred to Players Inc. President Ahmad Nassar as Ahmad Nassir. Apologies for the confusion.

/ Yanukovych, Viktor Fedorovych
Yanukovych, Viktor Fedorovych
Yanukovych, Viktor Fedorovych vēk´tôr fĕd´ərōvĭch yäno͞okō´vĭch [key], 1950–, Ukrainian politician, president of Ukraine (2010–14). The graduate of a mining college and a polytechnic institute (1980), he was a mechanical engineer and member of the Soviet Communist party, and became manager of a transportation company. After Ukrainian independence (1991), he was named (1997) governor of the Donetsk region, and in 2002 was appointed prime minister by President Leonid Kuchma. Yanukovych increased both state control of the economy and social spending. Two years later, as leader of the pro-Russia Party of Regions, he was Kuchma's chosen candidate for president, running against opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko.
Yushchenko led after the first round, but Yanukovych was proclaimed the winner after the Nov., 2004, runoff, sparking protests by Yushchenko's supporters and launching Ukraine's Orange Revolution. After the supreme court nullified the vote, Yanukovych lost the second runoff (December). In 2006, however, he reemerged as a skillful opposition leader, and forged a majority coalition following parliamentary elections and became prime minister. New elections in 2007 gave a narrow majority to the Orange coalition parties, and Yanukovych and his party went into the opposition.
In 2010 he won the presidential election's first round, then won the runoff, against Yulia Tymoshenko. His election led to reduced tensions with Russia and, in exchange for a reduced price for Russian natural gas, he extended Russia's lease on the Sevastopol naval base by 25 years. In late 2013 he rejected an association agreement with the European Union (in favor of Russian aid), sparking antigovernment demonstrations that caused (Feb., 2014) his government to collapse; he fled to Russia. The new government found that the treasury had been looted and other evidence of pervasive corruption under Yanukovych. In 2019 he was convicted in absentia of treason for having requested in 2014 that Russia intervene to restore his authority.

Paysandisia archon (Palmenmotte) ist ein Schmetterling (Nachtfalter) aus der Familie der Castniidae, der in Südamerika verbreitet ist und Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts nach Europa eingeschleppt wurde.

Merkmale
Die Flügelspannweite der Falter beträgt 80 bis 110 Millimeter. Die Fühler enden in einem sich allmählich verdickenden Fühlerkolben und ähneln denen mancher Tagfalter. Kopf, Thorax und Abdomen sind hellbraun. Die Vorderflügel sind ebenfalls hellbraun, am Apex und am Außenrand dunkler und am Innenrand heller. Darüber befinden sich entlang der Adern ein bis zwei schwärzliche Längsstriche. Besonders bei den Weibchen existiert oft eine Reihe heller Punkte in der Gegend der Diskoidalader. Basis und Vorderrand der Hinterflügel sind rot, das Saumfeld ist orange und mit einer braunen Saumlinie versehen. Das Mittelfeld ist schwarz und mit sechs bis sieben in einer sehr unregelmäßigen Reihe liegenden hellgelben bis bläulichweißen länglich-ovalen Flecken gezeichnet, die sich zwischen den Adern befinden. Die Fransen beider Flügel sind weißlich.

Verbreitung
Paysandisia archon kommt in Brasilien, Uruguay, Paraguay und im nordwestlichsten Argentinien vor. Etwa zwischen 1985 und 1995 wurde die Art nach Europa eingeschleppt und befindet sich gegenwärtig in Ausbreitung an den Küsten des Mittelmeers und selbst in Südengland. Bisher ist sie bekannt aus Spanien (Provinzen Alicante, Valencia, Castellón, Barcelona, Girona und Balearen), Frankreich (Départements Pyrénées-Orientales, Aude, Hérault, Gard, Bouches-du-Rhône, Var, Alpes-Maritimes sowie seit 2006 auch in der Region Midi-Pyrénées), Italien (Campania, Marche, Sizilien und Gardasee) sowie aus Großbritannien (Sussex). Die Einschleppung nach Spanien und Frankreich erfolgte möglicherweise mehrfach mit aus Argentinien importierten Palmen der Gattungen Trithrinax und Butia.

Lebensraum
Die Art besiedelt Lebensräume, in denen ihre Raupennahrungspflanzen vorkommen. In Europa sind dies vor allem angepflanzte Zierpalmen in Parks und Gärten sowie die Palmenalleen in Städten und Ortschaften.

Lebensweise und Schädlichkeit
Die Falter sind tagaktiv. Die Weibchen legen die an kleine Reiskörner erinnernden Eier an die weiche Stammbasis von Palmen. Die nahezu zeichnungslosen, weißlichen Raupen bohren sich in die Pflanze ein; der Befall ist äußerlich durch Bohrmehl zu erkennen, das an der Basis der Blattstiele oder am Stamm austritt. Erwachsene Raupen erreichen eine Länge von 80 bis 100 Millimeter. Sie verpuppen sich in einem Kokon aus Palmenfasern innerhalb des von der Raupe angelegten Fraßgangs.

Während die Art in ihrer Heimat Südamerika keine größeren Schäden verursacht, ist sie in Europa ein gefürchteter Schädling an den hier meist angepflanzten einheimischen wie exotischen Palmenarten geworden. Die befallenen Palmen können vertrocknen, völlig absterben und später umstürzen, was besonders in den Touristengebieten unerwünscht ist. Deshalb wird die Art in Europa auf jede erdenkliche Weise zu bekämpfen und auszurotten versucht. Da momentan noch keine biologischen Bekämpfungsmethoden zur Verfügung stehen, erfolgt in der Regel ein massiver Einsatz von Insektiziden.

Nahrung der Raupen
In ihrem natürlichen Verbreitungsgebiet leben die Raupen an Butia yatay, Chamaerops spec., Latania spec., Livistona chinensis, Phoenix canariensis, Syagrus romanzoffiana und Trithrinax campestris.
In Europa wurde sie bisher festgestellt an Chamaerops humilis, Livistona chinensis, Livistona decipiens und Livistona saribus, Phoenix-Arten, darunter Phoenix canariensis, Phoenix dactylifera und Phoenix reclinata, Sabal spec., Trachycarpus fortunei, Trithrinax campestris und Washingtonia filifera.

Flug- und Raupenzeiten
Die Falter sind in Europa bisher von Juli bis November beobachtet worden.

Taxonomie
Die monobasische Gattung Paysandisia, beschrieben für Castnia josepha (ein jüngeres subjektives Synonym von Castnia archon), enthält nur die eine Art archon. Da die gesamte Tribus Castniini einer phylogenetischen Revision bedarf, steht zu erwarten, dass die Art archon mit zukünftigen taxonomischen Forschungsergebnissen ihre Gattungszugehörigkeit ändern wird.

The paper presents a technical review of the sampling and analytical data cited in the 1985 report to Congress on wastes from the extraction and beneficiation of metallic ore, phosphate rock, Asbestos, overburden from uranium mining, and oil shale. The sampling and analytical results cited in the report to Congress came from three sources: evaluation of management practices for mine solid waste storage, disposal, and treatment; hazardous waste identification and listing support: mining waste study;and characterization of wastewater and solid wastes generated in selecte ore mining subcategories (Sbm Hg, Al, V, W, Ni, Tl). For each source, the document presents a review of the sampling and analysis methodologies, as well as a description of the data collected.

Maria Prokopowicz (ur. 24 marca 1916 w Żywcu, zm. 2 kwietnia 2006 w Warszawie) – bibliotekarka, bibliograf, muzykolog, znawczyni bibliotekarstwa muzycznego, wieloletnia pracowniczka Biblioteki Narodowej.

Życiorys
Córka Mariana i Marii (z domu Kalita) urodziła się 24 marca 1916 r. w Żywcu w rodzinie inteligenckiej. W 1919 r. rodzina przeniosła się do Warszawy. Ojciec, absolwent szkół technicznych we Lwowie i Wiedniu był specjalistą w zakresie gospodarki wodnej. Matka, absolwentka szkół muzycznych, uzdolniona plastycznie, pracowała jako nauczycielka. Rodzina miała zainteresowania muzyczne (ojciec grał na skrzypcach, stryj na wiolonczeli, matka na fortepianie). Maria ukończyła Państwowe Gimnazjum im. M. Konopnickiej w Warszawie i w 1934 r. rozpoczęła studia historyczne na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim. W 1939 r. uzyskała dyplom magistra historii. W tym czasie przez rok uczyła się gry na fortepianie w Państwowym Konserwatorium w Warszawie, naukę kontynuowała prywatnie w czasie wojny. Uczyła się też języków obcych: francuskiego, angielskiego i niemieckiego. Do wybuchu powstania warszawskiego rodzina przebywała w Warszawie. W pierwszych dniach powstania ojciec został aresztowany i wywieziony do obozu koncentracyjnego, gdzie zginął. Matka z Marią zostały wywiezione do obozu w Ravensbrück. Po wyzwoleniu Maria przez rok (1945-1946) pracowała społecznie w Polskim Czerwonym Krzyżu przy Delegaturze Rządu Londyńskiego w Niemczech, w strefie brytyjskiej. W połowie 1946 r. wróciła do Warszawy i podjęła pracę w Bibliotece Narodowej (BN), początkowo w Dziale Uzupełniania Zbiorów, a następnie w Dziale Starych Druków. Interesowała się też zbiorami muzycznymi napływającymi do BN. W 1951 r. utworzono Dział Muzyczny (od 1982 r. Zakład Zbiorów Muzycznych), którym kierowała do 1978 r., do przejścia na emeryturę.

Jest autorką ponad 100 publikacji. Pisała w językach: polskim, francuskim i angielskim.

Jej specjalnością były muzykalia XIX w., o których pisała na łamach czasopism polskich i zagranicznych. Redagowała bibliografie i katalogi muzykaliów. Zredagowała trzy tomy Katalogu Mikrofilmów. Uczestniczyła w opracowaniu informatorów o bibliotekach i zbiorach muzycznych w Polsce. Od lat pięćdziesiątych XX w. zabiegała o opracowywanie bieżącej bibliografii dokumentów dźwiękowych (dyskografii) jako części bibliografii narodowej. Dzięki dobrej znajomości języków obcych współpracowała z międzynarodowymi projektami IAML (Międzynarodowe Stowarzyszenie Muzycznych Bibliotek, Archiwów i Centrów Dokumentacji – International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres) w zakresie międzynarodowej bibliografii piśmiennictwa o muzyce (RILM – Répertoire International de Littérature Musicale) oraz międzynarodowym inwentarzu ikonografii muzycznej (RIdIM – Répertoire International d'Iconographie Musicale). Od 1964 r. kierowała Sekcją Bibliotek Muzycznych w Stowarzyszeniu Bibliotekarzy Polskich (SBP) która w 1972 r. została uznana za Polską Grupę Narodową IAML, a M. Prokopowicz była członkiem Rady tej organizacji. W 1989 r. otrzymała godność Członka Honorowego SBP.

Była osobą niezwykle aktywną. Po przejściu na emeryturę przygotowywała hasła do Encyklopedii muzycznej PWM, redagowała czasopismo "Biblioteka Muzyczna", opracowywała materiały muzyczne do Bibliografii Warszawy.

Zmarła 2 kwietnia 2006 r. Pochowana została na Cmentarzu Stare Powązki w Warszawie, kwatera 125, rząd 3, grób 7.

Tania Bruguera
Tania Bruguera (1968, Cuba) researches ways in which art can be applied to the everyday political life; focusing on the transformation of social affect into political effectiveness. Her long-term projects have been intensive interventions on the institutional structure of collective memory, education and politics.
She was awarded an Honoris Causa by The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and selected as one of the 100 Leading Global Thinkers by Foreign Policy magazine, shortlisted for the #Index100 Freedom of Expression Award, a Herb Alpert Award winner, a Hugo Boss Prize finalist, a Yale World Fellow and the first artist-in-residence in the New York City Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA). In 2013 she was part of the team creating the first document on artistic freedom and cultural rights with the United Nation's Human Rights Council.
Tania's work has explored both the promise and failings of the Cuban Revolution in performances that provoke viewers to consider the political realities masked by government propaganda and mass-media interpretation. In 2014, she was detained and had her passport confiscated by the Cuban government for attempting to stage a performance about free speech in Havana's Revolution Square. She had planned to set up a microphone and invite people to express their visions for Cuba. In May 2015, she opened the Institute of Artivism Hannah Arendt, in Havana.
Her work was exhibited at Documenta 11, Venice Biennale, Tate Modern (London), Guggenheim Museum (New York City) and Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven), among others. She lives and works in New York and Havana.

Two PhD students at the University of Warwick have sprung to fame after using statistical physics to analyse the number of goals scored at football matches.
John Greenhalgh and Paul Birch, who are researching X-ray bursts from accretion discs around black holes, examined some 13,000 English top-division matches and 5,000 FA Cup matches since 1970. They found that standard statistical techniques well described the distribution of goals in most matches, according to Physics World magazine. However, if either team scored more than six goals or when the total number of goals was more than nine, "extremal" statistics applied.

Smart Business, a national network of business journals devoted to interviewing the nation's leading CEOs, recently featured Epcon Communities Franchising in an article praising the brand's ability to stay ahead of market trends.
Smart Business, known for profiling successful CEOs, sought out Epcon Communities Franchising co-founders Philip Fankhauser and Edward Bacome for a feature about the home building franchise system's continued success.
The article, entitled "Epcon Communities Ramps Up for the Housing Recovery," highlighted Epcon founders and principals Phil Fankhauser and Ed Bacome. It discussed how Epcon Franchise Builders benefit from the franchisor's proven designs and knowledge of the housing industry — pointing out that the success of Epcon Communities in 19 states is derived from the founders' insistence on extensive market research before any homes are built.
Smart Business rightly points out that while Epcon Communities Franchising is experiencing its "most vigorous ramp-up ever," the Epcon founders knew that forecasting and planning were more important than ever in the wake of the housing market collapse.
"We finally made a business decision. Instead of doing one first alone so it didn't compete with the second one, we concluded that the two, because of their size and location, going at the same time would garner more sales than either one by themselves," Ed says in the article.
Epcon weathers economic downturns by building homes that are popular with the 55+ demographic. According to a recent analysis published by Metrostudy, such active adult buyers will account for 52% of new home sales between now and 2019. That sets Epcon home building franchise owners apart from local and regional competitors who only concentrate on traditional single-family housing.
Epcon Communities Franchising Inc. is America's 38th-largest homebuilder ("2014 Builder 100," Builder Magazine, May 2015) and one of the only home building franchise companies that exists. Epcon and its Franchise Builders develop communities of ranch-style, low-maintenance homes popular with 55+ buyers — a demographic that is projected to drive new home sales in the United States for many years to come.


Fill Out Your Proposal Template in Seconds with PDFSimpli.
The proposal template, known as the Prop-003 form, is used by contractors to list specific materials and procedures for a project to help the project owner understand the scope of the job and the cost. Here you can learn how to fill out a Proposal form, so follow along for help getting started.
2 What Is the Proposal Template Used For?
3 Who Uses the Proposal Template?
4 When Is the Proposal Template Used?
5 What Are the Consequences for Not Using the Proposal Template?
The proposal template, known as the Prop-003 form, is used by contractors. Contractors list specific materials and procedures for the project on the form. The project's owner consents to use those items in implementing the project. This form helps the project owner understand the scope of the job and the cost.
What Is the Proposal Template Used For?
The proposal template outlines the materials and labor for a project. The contractor guarantees that the materials used in the project are those listed on the proposal. Labor will be completed by professional workmen according to the guidelines outlined in the form. The project owner signs the proposal template, confirming the estimate and materials to be used. This form documents the agreement between the contractor and project owner. Once the final acceptance certificate is signed, this document loses its significance, but it can be proof of the scope of the project if it is ever called into question. The size and scope of the project should not be a consideration when deciding to use the template. Even small projects benefit from a proposal, to ensure that all parties understand the details, specific materials, payment and costs.
A written proposal is the picture of what the contractor is promising to do. It also outlines the responsibilities of the project owner.
Fill Out Your Proposal Template with PDFSimpli in Seconds!
Who Uses the Proposal Template?
The contractor is the primary user of this template, but the project owner does sign it. It can be a verification for each party to know exactly what materials and labor specification are and what the costs will be. A contractor may use this with subcontractors or not, but it is the project owner who accepts the proposal. Contractors should be well-versed in local and state requirements in providing written proposals. Some states require certain information to be included in the proposal. A general template covers most of the information but may not have enough specificity for a particular location.
Electronic forms make it easy to change proposals while working out specific needs, ideas and considerations.
When Is the Proposal Template Used?
What Are the Consequences for Not Using the Proposal Template?
Although the proposal template is not required, it does confirm exactly what will be done. It is an added protection of professionalism. Using the proposal template protects both the project owner and the contractor from assumptions about what is included in the project and what isn't.
Should changes in the scope of the project occur, written documentation from the contractor to the project owner will be required to change, modify, altar, add to (or delete from) the agreed-upon work.
Proposal templates help contractors and project owners understand the scope and cost of the job.
Fill in the project owner's name and contact information to identify the project.
Specify the labor and materials that are needed to finish the project. Some contractors recommend staying generic in the description of the materials, while others get much more specific, including model numbers and measurements. It's up to you to as to how detailed you should be in providing this information, but you can tell project owners that you cannot honor warranty work on materials and fixtures supplied by them.
Fill out the cost of the project. You can also include payment information, such as deposits and timelines. Make sure to know the applicable laws for deposits in your community.
Include a timeframe for the proposal to be accepted, if applicable.
Send the form to the project owner.
Where do I send the proposal template when completed? The form is directed to the project owner to consider and approve. Negotiations may ensue and change the agreement. Can the contractor withdraw the offer? The contractor can specify a period that the project is valid for. If the project is not approved within the timeframe, the contractor can withdraw the offer. Can I change the legal terms? Your bid form can be simple or complex. You can write in additional terms or cross out terms that do not apply.

When All the Stand-Ups Got Their Shows
There's a line in Swingers where Mikey, played by Jon Favreau, talks about heading out to LA and mentions that part of it was because he was pretty sure they were "giving out sitcoms at the airport" to stand-up comics like him (or something like that, anyway). Naturally, this isn't true and Mike's really a struggling actor and comedian who spends the better part of his days lamenting his breakup with his girlfriend back home in New York. At the same time, there's some truth to the line he has about stand-up comics and sitcoms, especially when you consider that both Jerry Seinfeld and Ray Romano had two of the longest-running sitcoms of the decade.
In 1993, NBC, which was riding the high of the success of two stand-up comedian-driven sitcoms, Mad About You and Seinfeld, decided to show off how much success it had been having by airing a one-hour primetime special called The NBC Super Special All-Star Comedy Hour. Meant to be a showcase of current talent as well as upcoming shows, it kind of acted like a comedian and sitcom version of the Saturday morning cartoon preview shows that we used to love as kids–an hour to stay up later than usual to see what we'd be seeing in the fall.
This show, which was hosted by Bill Cosby with some help from Paul Reiser, was something that I actually had been pretty sure for years I was actually misremembering. For years, I had been searching for some sort of evidence of it, evidence I thought would be easy to find since Reiser was on it, but a look at his IMDb profile didn't bring anything up and I couldn't find anything on the resumes of any of the other people I remembered. Until, that is, this past summer, I was going through a pile of old videotapes that I had grabbed from my parents' basement and there it was, sitting on one of those random tapes. Yes, I'm sure I could have found this on YouTube if I really tried, but there was something so cool about scanning through an old VHS labeled "Tom's Blank" and saying out loud to nobody at all, "I found it! I've been looking for this for years!"
The picture quality was solid even though the sound on the tape had deteriorated quite a bit, but it was good enough for me to watch it all the way through and take some pictures along the way (because nothing says quality blogging than pointing my cell phone at the basement TV).
We open with two women in NBC Peacock costumes doing a song and dance bit as Paul Reiser, who was going into his second season of Mad About You, which I think at that point was on Thursday nights at 8:00 with Seinfeld having officially moved into the 9:00 Thursday slot vacated by Cheers, doing a quick opening monologue before introducing Bill Cosby as well as Branford Marsalis and The Tonight Show Band, who were the musical accompaniment for the evening.

Q: Change gridline colour or style in MS Word 2010 How can I change the colour or style (solid line or dots, as in The Gimp) of the document gridlines shown using View > Gridlines (not table gridlines) in Microsoft Word 2010 or 2007?
I can change the grid spacing by Inserting a random shape, selecting the shape, then Format > Align > Grid Settings... > Grid settings (what were Microsoft thinking?!) but there is no option to change its colour or style.
The default colour is too dark and makes it difficult to see what I'm drawing.
I know I can use Randy Reddig's QuickGamma to increase my monitor's gamma to lighten the lines, but that makes drawings and images too bright.

A: Since you can't change color or style with the Grid option, what you can do is set up the grid you want, save it as a .png, and then use it with the custom Watermark option at 100%. It's a workaround, but should do the trick.

A: I had this issue and workaround was I just draw a straight line using insert, shapes, select line. Colour the line and then align my text box to that line down the page.

The challenges of carbon credit tokenization
MediaArticles
Blockchain technology has the potential to digitize corporate reporting and even replace many business processes. These include smart contracts, supply chain traceability, and corporate carbon footprint reimbursement. Against the backdrop of the evolution and globalization of carbon regulation and related markets, blockchain can help address climate change and collect carbon credits, including in developing countries.
Carbon credit tokenization projects are being launched and are already in operation
Blockchain solves many problems, but there are still difficulties with its application
It is worth using more than one technology to improve the carbon credit market
Blockchain is an innovative database that records every transaction and operation ever made on it. The system allows stakeholders to track company reporting and supply chain transparency, the carbon footprint of each product entered into the registry and greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. This makes the blockchain indispensable in the fight against climate change: the transparency it provides enables companies to make their processes more sustainable.
Carbon credits and tokens
Blockchain projects for carbon credits have already been launched. For example, the blockchain group Universal Protocol Alliance is working on Universal Carbon (UPCO2), a token for carbon credits. These are ERC-20 tokens certified by Verra that can be used like regular carbon credits to offset a carbon footprint or investment.
Brazil has its carbon token. Moss, a member of the Brazilian Economic Council for Sustainable Development, has tokenized both the economic rights to forest land in the NFT and the management system. With Moss Earth, you can calculate and offset your carbon footprint. MCO2 tokens represent ownership of a single carbon credit registered in a globally recognized registry. More than $30 million were invested in Amazon forest conservation. Since March 2020, this has saved 152 million trees and prevented the emission of 230,000 tons of carbon dioxide. This is equivalent to running 49,600 cars a year.
Recently, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a division of the World Bank, launched its carbon credit tokenization project. This project focuses on carbon credits verified by Verra and Gold Standard. Given the number of low-quality carbon credits that could harm the overall carbon market, verification by verification companies and anchoring the data in the blockchain is now essential, according to program participants. Strengthening trust will open the door to more funding flows and accelerate the implementation of carbon reduction and elimination strategies.
While tokenization projects are already working, there are still real questions in the market about how a tokenized type of carbon credit should work and what methodologies should be used.
Challenges and opportunities of tokenization
Carbon regulation and the carbon credit market have been in place for more than a decade. Carbon tokens traded on exchanges and in the blockchain system, however, are still a new thing for sustainable management.
The biggest challenge of blockchain is implementation. For the cryptosystem to work properly, all the company's contractual partners must be included in the process. Such a conversion is time-consuming and expensive. New applications of blockchain also bring new legal challenges, such as intellectual property rights, data protection, liability for system failures, competition issues, and more.
The use of new technologies, especially in unproven markets, carries risks as well as benefits. The right technical setup is key to improving network scalability, processing speed, and security. The first steps should address regulatory issues related to the use of blockchain technology.
Blockchain can help avoid double counting, but it does not solve other carbon credit issues, and we still need expensive certification and verification. To improve this side, other technologies, such as the Internet of Things, can be used to automate measurements and verifications while avoiding human error and high costs.
Despite the challenges and risks of using blockchain alone or in conjunction with other technologies, it is so far one of the few ways to make ESG measurable, transparent, and unbiased. This can open new opportunities for honest market participants, avoid greenwashing and boost impact investments, generate fair prices for goods with a carbon tax, track logistics and business processes, and advocate for human rights

K-State features talent, depth on defensive line
Mueller, Britz returning starters for Wildcats
Ken Corbitt
MANHATTAN — Ask Kansas State assistant football coaches Mo Latimore and Blake Seiler about the players in their position groups and it's difficult for them to low-key their optimism.
Latimore coaches the K-State defensive tackles, while Seiler works with defensive ends, and both have abundant talent and depth at positions that may be the most difficult to stockpile.
"We have a lot of bodies and everything is looking pretty decent," said Latimore, the veteran coach who enters his 31st season on the K-State staff. "All of the guys have done a great job and I'm pleased with all of them. They're working hard, and I hope that will carry on the rest of camp."
Any discussion of the Wildcat defensive front begins with Ryan Mueller, the senior end who was the Big 12 defensive lineman of the year in 2013 and a second team All-American when he tied the school record with 111/2 sacks.
"Ryan had a great year last year and he just keeps working hard," Seiler said. "I was really impressed with him in the offseason. He's really taken a leadership role upon himself, not only leading the defense but being a leader for the entire team for us. He's working harder than ever, which is his calling card."
Mueller, the former walk-on, takes his role as a team captain seriously.
"Coach Seiler has definitely put high expectations on me to be the absolute best leader, player and person I possibly can be," Mueller said. "I am responsible for those actions, but I have a coach like him to hold me to those expectations and those high standards to be the best player I can possibly be."
The 6-foot-2, 245-pound Mueller had 62 total tackles last season, 53 unassisted with 181/2 tackles for loss, six pass break-ups and four forced fumbles.
What more can he do?
"He's really worked hard on his footwork in the run game, and with his pass rush he's worked on improving his speed off the edge," Seiler said.
On the other end of the line Albert Finau graduated, although Marquel Bryant (6-3, 241) returns and did start the first two games a year ago before Finau moved into the lineup. Senior Laton Dowling (6-3, 254) provides some experience and two young up-and-comers are sophomore Jordan Willis (6-5, 250) and redshirt freshman Tanner Wood (6-5, 235).
"Jordan played a little bit last year and that was very valuable to him, then he had a very good spring and he's playing a lot faster now," Seiler said. "Tanner redshirted and he also had a great spring, and I think he's going to be a very good player for us.
"We have some good depth, and the guys are all working on both sides to get that rotation going."
The interior tackle spots offer intriguing scenarios. Junior Travis Britz (6-4, 293) is a returning starter, producing 37 tackles a year ago with three sacks and 61/2 tackles for loss.
Who lines up beside Britz may be the winner of the most intense competition of fall camp. Senior Valentino Coleman (6-2, 285) and sophomore Demonte Hood (6-0, 303) played in reserve roles last season while redshirt freshmen Matt Seiwert (6-3, 289) and Topeka High product Will Geary (6-0, 290) had productive stints on the scout team and could figure into the rotation for the No. 20 Wildcats, who open the season at home Aug. 30 against Stephen F. Austin.
There also is Terrell Clinkscales (6-4, 315), a potential high-impact transfer from Dodge City Community College who was a second team NJCAA All-American and rated the No. 4 juco tackle prospect by ESPN.
"All of the guys are good players and will make a tremendous contribution toward our success," Latimore said.

Ambassador of France to present the second annual address on the state of the European Union
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Francois Bujon de l'Estang, the ambassador of France to the United States, will visit the University of Illinois Oct. 27 to present the campus's second annual address on the state of the European Union.
The ambassador's speech, at 11 a.m. in Rooms A, B and C of the Illini Union, 1401 W. Green St., Urbana, is the centerpiece event of European Union Day, hosted by the UI's European Union Center and International Programs and Studies (IPS).
Bujon de l'Estang's presentation, on "The Agenda of the French Presidency," is free and open to the public. France holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union through Dec. 31, 2000 -- the 11th time it has been the presiding nation of the E.U. since the beginning of the European integration.
According to Buchon de l'Estang, France's objectives during its presidency include continuing to promote economic modernization among E.U. countries, strengthening the European social model, and working to build a Europe that is responsive to the concerns of its citizens, particularly in such areas as domestic security and food safety.
A treaty-based institutional framework for the construction of a unified Europe, the E.U. comprises 15 nations: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Spain, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Buchon de l'Estang has been ambassador to the United States since 1995. He entered foreign diplomatic service in 1969 as second, then first, secretary to the United States, later moving to a post in the French Embassy in London.
Subsequent assignments included serving as adviser on international affairs for energy in the Ministry of Industry, director of international relations for the Atomic Energy Commissariat, French representative on the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and ambassador to Mexico and Canada.
Buchon de l'Estang also has substantial private-sector experience in the field of atomic energy, and is the founder of COGEMA Inc. He is president of the Harvard Business School-France, a knight in the Order of the Legion of Honor and an officer of the National Order of Merit.
The UI's E.U. Center is directed by Larry Neal, a professor of economics. The UI was one of 10 universities nationwide that received grants in 1998 from the Delegation of the European Commission, based in Washington, D.C., to establish centers for the study of the European Union and E.U.-U.S. relations.
Administered by IPS, the UI center includes faculty members from the colleges of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences; Commerce and Business Administration; Communications; Engineering; Fine and Applied Arts; Law; and Liberal Arts and Sciences.
