Racquel Brown Gaston – A Product of Falmouth, Trelawny
I remember her as the little daughter of my friend Glen (Pecke) Brown and Nicoline (Nicky) Ellis. Her father was one of the most well known Falmouthians. He was a sprinter who had won the title of "fastest man in the parish," by winning the now defunct Trelawny Youth Clubs Athletics Championships in the late 1970's. Later on, the late Pecke Brown went on to win several football titles as coach of Village United, before he passed away.
Racquel Brown Gaston
Racquel grew up in Falmouth, attending Miss Stevenson's (Basic) School. At 4, she left for Maroon Town to live with Pecke's mother (her grandmother). She then attended Chatsworth All Age School. At age 10, she passed the Common Entrance and attended Mt. Alvernia High. She spent her summers and other holidays between 5 Georges Street and 14 Peel Street (popularly known as "Fourteen").
Trelawny Municipal Corporation Wins the Inaugural Jamaica Public Sector Debate Competition
Migrating to the USA
At age 14, Racquel left Jamaica to live in the tough neighborhood of Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York with her mom.
While in Brooklyn, she went to Boys and Girls High School and won a scholarship to Boston University. From there, she studied at the L'university de Grenoble in Grenoble, France as an international exchange student. Racquel came back to BU and after graduating, went directly to the University of Miami School of Law. She visited Brooklyn Law School in her final year. Racquel graduated law school and passed the NY Bar and was sworn in as an attorney at age 27.
Racquel Brown Gaston has played many roles in life: lawyer, law professor, Dean of Students – University of the District of Columbia, UN Ambassador, author and now screenwriter. She is also a motivational speaker, whose speeches are aimed mainly targeted at single parents, youth, the incarcerated and entrepreneurs.
Inspiration For Her First Book
It was while working as a professor at Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York, that she got the inspiration for her book. One day, a student walked into her office and as customary she inquired into his life to learn more about him. To her amazement, he revealed his profession as a notorious drug dealer. Intrigued by his dark side, she interviewed him for couple of years. The childhood days of the protagonist in her novel, Deadly Instincts, was based on the true life experiences of that student.
From an early age, to escape the tough neighborhood in which she grew, she developed a love for writing. It worked to take herself away from the reality into her own perfect world.
Racquel decided to write on the prompting of her husband who spotted her talent. Over ten years ago, he challenged her and said if she write just one novel he would leave her alone. She did, and her first attempt was a crime novel called Deadly Instincts, which she dedicated to her late father.
Deadly Instincts
The thriller, Deadly Instincts, was first released in 2009, even though she started writing it in 2004. The crime novel was pulled from the shelf for re-editing, was revamped and re-released in 2012. and its success prompted an updated edition. Today, Deadly Instincts is on its way to the revered Ney York Times Best Seller List, but it was not an easy road. Buy Deadly Instincts in Ebook format for only $5.99 or buy on Amazon.
The Struggle for "Deadly Instincts"
Click Image to Buy Deadly Instinct on Amazon.
Racquel: I originally started in 2004 but with all the self doubt and shopping it here and there and rejections here and there, I went dormant.
Eventually, the Holy Spirit reminded me who and whose I was, and I got up fighting. I am still fighting. I went on book tours across America and endless promotions but without the backing of deep pockets, and the tainted myths of independent publishing, all seemed futile. I go toe to toe with the major publishing houses to prove that I too can do it.
It has been very difficult and painful, but legions of angels are still carrying me toward the victory line. See, I didn't fit the 3 criteria for a book deal-celebrity, 22000 copies sold or movie deal. I used my business attorney skills to create my publishing company.
I built lasting relationships as I have now mastered the industry inside out, so much that I am launching my publishing company next month to take on authors. I now have a movie deal and heading to best seller. It has not been easy.
It's not easy going up against giants. It hasn't been easy yielding support from my own, but that's because I had to prove myself. With grace and favor, light is being shed on Deadly Instincts, and proof that hope is the most powerful weapon still lingers near.
Deadly Instincts – Amazon Customer Review
Deadly Instincts now has a perfect 5-star rating on Amazon.com, Check out just one of the reviews below:
From: Keri-Wan-Kenobi
Deadly Instincts is fantastic!!! It is a gripping, fast-paced novel that is part crime story, part mystery, part love story and all around engrossing. Rarely has a book drawn me in so quickly. The graphic realism of the dialogue painted a brutish, but realistic view of life on the mean streets of NYC. I felt like I was right back in Bed-Stuy walking the streets, avoiding trouble, but it found me anyway. As soon as I finished with the book, I found myself longing for another written by Racquel. I completely understand that quality takes time, but I hope to read many more books by this author sooner rather than later.
Other Current Projects
Racquel Brown Gaston is always reaching for the stars and she is currently working on the movie adaptation of Deadly Instincts as well as researching for her second screenplay.
Racquel: When I was a little girl, I often times walked by the police station, library and "poor house." I spoke to the poor house and I said one day I will come back and I will build for you a state of the art complex for you to call home.
I promised myself I will return to rural Jamaica and give resources toward education and help in shedding light, hope to those who are where I was. Jamaica is my heart and if it takes getting to the Best Seller's List to help her the way I want to help her, then by the grace of God, the NY Times Best Seller's List will have a Jamaican on it.
Some of the greatest Olympians came from Trelawny, of which we are mighty proud, I hope to be such an author from Trelawny, who too can inspire her island home. I can start by asking my countrymen to tune into my Blog Tuesdays and liking my author page on Facebook, Racquel Brown Gaston the Author.

The Project Personnel Development Programme (PPDP) is specifically designed to develop the skills of individuals in the project environment. It charts the path that team members, from project administrator to project, program and portfolio managers must follow to fully develop their potential, and to achieve maximum benefit for the organisation through the development of their own skills and knowledge.
The PPDP utilises the competency gaps identified from the competency assessment to provide an individualised development roadmap to rectify the deficiencies. The PPDP will recommend specific interventions such as project management training, assignments, coaching sessions and/or mentoring. The program is further tailored to specific industries to develop project team members in their specific area of expertise.
The PPDP consists of an assessment and the development of an individual development plan for each person. The assessment consists of three specific areas of assessment, namely Knowledge and Skills Competence, Technical Competence, and Personal Competence.
The Knowledge and Skills Competence consists of a one-hour multiple choice questionnaire, a four-hour comprehensive case study, and/or a Portfolio of Evidence per individual.
One-hour web-based Personality Profiling (Myers and Briggs Type Indicator to be used). This will assess an individual's personality profile – to identify strengths and weaknesses.
One-hour web Behavioural Style Assessment (OPQ32 to be used). Together with industrial and clinical psychologists we have researched the required occupational competencies for each role profile. It is therefore possible to map the required occupational competencies to the assessed competencies.
Two-hour supervised Cognitive Process Profile (CPP) (Recommended only for senior posts or incumbents for senior posts) will assess the individual's ability to deal with complex and vague environments.
All the assessments will be done by a trained and competent psychologist, accompanied by a narrative assessment report.


Jeff Treffinger is a New Orleans building designer. In 1987, the Corps of Engineers hired Jeff to analyze the lock located at the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (IHNC) for National Register eligability. At the time, the Corps already had plans to remove the lock and build a larger lock about 12 blocks north of the existing lock. During Jeff's studies of the lock, he learned that building a new, larger lock in this canal would involve significant dangers. The dangers Jeff identified ranged from toxic materials that would be released into the river and into St. Bernard Parish's drinking water downstream, to severe soil destabilization at the intersection of the IHNC and the Mississippi River. This destabilization would potentially adversely affect the Upper and Lower 9th Wards. Even though this project has been in the works for many years, experts have grave concerns that the project will be pushed through under a new fast-track program, without consideration of possible serious consequences.

I've really enjoyed my first week's training. It's given me something to aim for every time I ride. I can't say whether it's been too hard or too easy, it's really too soon to say. The Polar however is a rather inadequate measure of effort and I can't wait for the Garmin to arrive: hopefully, this week.
I've had to content myself with watching the Tour du Haut Var on the small screen, and not in person. Yesterday, we had a number of things to sort out in connection with my husband's replacement passport. So, instead, we rode with some of the people with whom I'll be riding L2P at the end of June. They rode in "SHORTS". I know, I don't get into shorts until mid-May. I'm still in my winter tights and have yet to transition into leg warmers and then into my 3/4 quarter bib-shorts.
Today's pointage was at Le Rouret. Having started a little ahead of the club, I was overhauled by the super-fast boys at the entrance to Roquefort les Pins. There were smoking at an average speed of 28km while I was positively plodding along at 12km. I was overtaken by most, but not all, of my clubmates before the pointage where I hooked up with one of my cycling buddies. I rode with her up the next rise to Pre du Lac and then left her to wait for her clubmates. Yes, most clubs have regular regroupments where they wait for their clubmates.
I descended via Bar sur Loup to Pont du Loup and decided to practice my sprinting on the rise up to Tourrettes sur Loup. Helpfully, there were a number of riders up the road giving me a target. I continued on the downhill stretch home and shot past a number of groups of riders. Men do not like being overtaken by a woman but they seem to mind most if it happens on the downhill. Sorry guys, but superior body weight, a fast bike and a love of speed are going to carry the day.
Back to the Tour du Hat Var, which was won today by Christophe Le Mevel who attacked on the insanely steep climb up to Montauroux. FDJ are having a cracking start to the season. I get a real kick from seeing the pro-peloton race on roads I've ridden on. It seems to increase my pleasure in the viewing knowing we've both suffered there.
I've also been keeping an eye on the Volta ao Algave where Bert (Astana) has been claiming that he's 2kg over his ideal weight and not in such good shape as at the same time as last year – sandbagging? He won the mountain stage and was 2nd to Luis Leon Sanchez (Caisse d'Epargne) in today's TT, having had the bike he originally planned to ride banned by the UCI. He, nonetheless, scooped the overall: early season mind games.
There were wins this week end for both my football teams. Luckily for the manager of OGCN, a penalty early in the 2nd half saved his bacon. While the boys in claret and blue downed another team, who also wear claret and blue, though obviously not in the same match, 5-2 at home.
Excitement in the UK as Britain won a gold medal in the ladies skeleton. This is where you hurtle, head first, on a metal tray, down an ice chute at insane speeds. One of the few sports I've yet to try!


In this chapter, the agent model of network formation discussed in the previous chapter is extended to applications in biology to describe the formation of tracks and aggregates in myxobacteria and trail formation in ants. We will again exploit the basic features of the Brownian agent model, (i) discrete internal degrees of freedom θi to cope with different behavioral responses and (ii) the generation of a self-consistent effective field he(r, t) by agents. However, different from other chapters, we will describe the motion of Brownian agents continuous in time and space in this chapter by a discrete approximation. In this approximation, the simple Brownian particle (performing an overdamped motion) would become a random walker and the Brownian agent with its different activities would then become an active walker — a term that from now on shall be used equivalently.

In this instuctable we will see how to make a HOME MADE DIY 400000 VOLTS TASER PHONE CASE for less than 10$.
7.High Voltage Generator Boost Step-up Transformer.
This is a very easy project it can be done in max 15 minutes.
1.Take the high voltage step-up converter it has 4 wires input and output. Input wires are different colors and output are the same color in any transformer. Solder negative of the battery to the charging circuit and solder the negative wire of the transformer to the charging circuit negative.
2.Take a slide switch which has 3 pins and solder a wire to the first pin of the slide switch and another end to the positive of charging circuit.
3.Solder battery positive to the 2nd pin of the slide switch.
4.Solder high voltage step-up converter positive wire to the 3rd pin of the slide switch. So that whenever we push the slide switch to right it connects battery positive and transformer positive and power is supplied. When we off it can charge using the charging circuit.
5.Now we need to add the push button switch take the positive wire of transformer and cut it in the middle and solder both ends to the push button switch.So we need to slide the slide switch first and press push button to fire up the taser it works as a safety feature because we don't want to taser ourselves by mistake when we keep the taser phone case in our pockets.
6.Now solder both ends of output wires of transformers to 4cm needles.
Using cardboard make a box as shown in the above image and put all the electronics in it.
Place the needles on the top cover and make a sliding mechanism so when we slide needle should come out.

Q: How to set canOverrideExistingModule=true in React Native for Android Apps? I built an android app using React Native, it got built successfully but when I run the app in my Android Virtual Device it shows up a full red screen with the following error:

I have not done native app development ever before neither do I have any knowledge of Java so I have no idea what this error means and how to fix this.

A: Go to file "MainApplication.java" (under .\android\app\src\main\java\com\projectName\)
Make sure that under getPackages() function you don't have duplicate lines (in my case I had "new MapsPackage()" twice).
Fix duplicate imports as well.

A: Go to your module (coz of which you are getting this error message) Open the module.. add this code to it...
@Override
public boolean canOverrideExistingModule() {
  return true;
}

A: You can remove your package from
MainApplication.java

A: Open the MainApplication.java file by this address: android/app/src/main/java/com/projectName/MainApplication.java and add the following code to MainApplication.java file:
@Override
public boolean canOverrideExistingModule() {
  return true;
}

And everything became correct.

A: You can try check in file MainApplication.java in directory : android\app\src\main\java is have any duplicate package AirMapModule exist or not, and delete 1 if have.

A: Solution
Goto android/app/src/main/java/YOURPACKAGE/MainApplication.java
Find method getPackages();
Remove this packages.add(new MapsPackage());
Chill Pill! :)

A: Go to the MainAplication file.
Remove duplicate package and remove duplicate package in getPackages() method
  @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
            new VectorIconsPackage()
      );
    }

Then after try this command in your terminal :

*

*cd android

*./gradlew clean

A: The name of the package associated to this error is not AirMapModule but MapsPackage from com.airbnb.android.react.maps.
In your MainApplication.java in directory : android/app/src/main/java/../../ remove any duplicate entry of :

*

*the import package : import com.airbnb.android.react.maps.MapsPackage

*the call to the constructor of the module : new MapsPackage() in function getPackages

A: If the version of RN you're using is >= 0.60 then there is the possibility that auto-linking and your manual linking are doing the same thing twice. You have two options:
1- You can revert code changes in getPackages method
2- You can disable auto linking in react-native-config.js file.

A: The above solutions are all correct, but let me explain a little bit,some of above solutions suggest to override the following method.
@Override
public boolean canOverrideExistingModule() {
  return true;
}

But question is where to override? first of all, you can't override inside MainActivity.java or MainApplication.java file.
You should override it in the class inside some node_modules project folder and that class will be extending from  ReactContextBaseJavaModule class.
In my case, it was not getting repeated in imports/adding duplicate packages but it was mainly because of  auto linking at the and that was making it to repeat.
I am using react-native-contacts npm package to interact so what I did is that went inside
node_modules\react-native-contacts\android\src\main\java\comrt2zz\reactnativecontacts\
ContactsManager.java

and this ContactsManager was extending from the ReactContextBaseJavaModule and I override there and got the problem resolved.
So as general there could be a lot of classes that will be extending from ReactContextBaseJavaModule under different projects inside node_modules, but you need to go for specific a project that will be creating duplication problem and there you should override it.

A: Add only the modules which are not autolinked at here,
        @Override
        protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
          @SuppressWarnings("UnnecessaryLocalVariable")
          List<ReactPackage> packages = new PackageList(this).getPackages();
          // Packages that cannot be autolinked yet can be added manually here, for
          // example: packages.add(new MyReactNativePackage());
          return packages;
        }

If the module is autolinked and added the module here, you will get this error.

A: check your MainApplication.java, in particular protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages(); the AirMapModule is probably twice in the list

A: if installed library react-navigation you can run via android studio.
else remove library react-navigation and just yarn it's will work.

A: just remove packages.add(new MapsPackage()); this line MainApplication.java

Vancouver's CoinOS Launches First White-label NFT Marketplace
June 8, 2021 by Techcouver Newsdesk Leave a Comment
Artists, digital creators and luxury brands are cashing in on transactions worth millions of dollars, on an explosion in Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) — but only if they know what they're doing.
The barrier to entry for any individual or company just dropped to almost zero thanks to LNFT, an open source marketplace platform developed by Vancouver's CoinOS.
"We're the first company in the world to build an open source WebWallet and white label NFT marketplace that works on Liquid. That's a Bitcoin sidechain network that offers fast confirmation times and low fees, but still works with Bitcoin as the currency rather than an Altcoin token," says CoinOS CEO Kris Constable.
"Now, any company can easily start selling unique, one-of-a-kind products using NFTs. Whether they're individual artists selling 3D artwork, video game assets that can be moved from game to game, or unique physical jewelry or watches from a website of a luxury brand – anything that can be scanned or photographed, to physical objects from a pet rock or a house you're selling in this hot real estate market – you can tokenize it all.
"It's also good for any item where it's hard to know where you want to track where it came from in the supply chain," Constable explains. "With an NFT, you know the time and date of the entire transaction history for your unique item that you've bought."
CoinOS makes it easy for anyone to take advantage of the hot NFT trend. "We can set up a white label NFT marketplace for them and they can instantly give their customers NFT products," Constable says.
CoinOS' platform also significantly lowers the cost of doing business with NFTs by orders of magnitude. "Under the status quo for NFTs, a seller often pays over $50 USD to tokenize a single piece of artwork before they sell it.
"If they want to sell dozens or hundreds of pieces, those costs add up. If they're a struggling artist or bootstrapping entrepreneur, it's really costly. But with CoinOS, their cost goes down to just 3 cents per tokenized item. Fifty dollars versus under a nickel — and you can see, it's so much easier to get started.
CoinOS' leading-edge innovation was on display at Bitcoin 2021, the world's largest cryptocurrency conference, this week. Two NFT marketplaces, Raretoshi Digital Art and NFT Glee both used CoinOS' technology to make waves at the conference and beyond.
"I've been building this for over 6 years, honestly, just for fun to start with – and now we're seeing the dream come alive," says CoinOS Lead Developer and Founder Adam Soltys.
"My goal was to make Bitcoin usable for anyone, not just cryptocurrency early adopters. The key to that was removing hurdles for users and making it as easy as possible. With CoinOS, you don't have to install an app. You click one button and you're ready to go. You can send a payment anywhere in the world. It's instantly there.
"Now, the NFT marketplace offering is an extension of that idea," Soltys explains. "We're so excited about the possibilities. We're working with some of the most innovative companies in the world, and also aiming to enable traditional companies to get on board with this amazing new technology. It's an exciting time."
Vancouver's CoinOS makes bitcoin usable for people, businesses, and brands. They offer an open source Bitcoin web wallet and p2p transfer system for individuals and a point-of-sale (PoS) and white labelled NFT marketplace to businesses and brands.
CoinOS' leading-edge solution lets anyone, even those who are new to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, to easily send, receive and convert Bitcoin, Liquid and Lightning.

New cattle branding
By Jacob Notermann |
Updated: Fri 11:22 AM, Aug 16, 2019
It's not one of the most prominent laws that went into effect this month.
Photo courtesy: Stockman's Association
It has to do with how farmers brand their cattle, although some ranchers have been using the method for nearly two decades.
We're all familiar with the classic hot iron to brand cattle, but there's a new way of branding that's more humane and now recognized as a legal means of identification.
At a Stockman's Association subcommittee meeting, ranchers and industry leaders discussed ways to implement the newest legal form of cattle identification.
It's called "freeze branding." Rather than burning the identification number into the flesh, farmers can now use dry ice to permanently dye the animal's hair.
"Those brands are registered with the state and are unique to that location, the species, as well as the configuration. It's basically like having the title to a vehicle; that unique symbol indicates who the owner is," said Julie Elingson, ND Stockmen's Association.
It's not just identification codes; farmers can imprint their logos onto the hides.
For the hot iron, costs of branding is pennies per head. But freeze branding can range from $2.50 to up to $5.00 per head. Jamie Hague has been freeze branding since 2001.
"Well, you have a permanent ID, so you always know who that animal is for the entire life of the animal. It's just another tool in the tool box for the industry," said Jamie Hague, Blue Hill Ranch owner.
Ranchers say this method of branding takes longer, but is ultimately less painful to the animal. And the only affect to the hide is the new white hair.
Freeze branding is only capable of turning fur white. Meaning, one of the predominant disadvantages is that it's hard to use if an animal has light-colored fur.

Our Investment Department surveyed more than 200 funds across different international markets and, based on the criteria listed below, selected three property related funds.
The proposed strategy comprises equal weightings to three funds, one with exposure to the Irish property market, one offering European exposure and one global property fund.
The three funds selected, while offering different regional exposures, are all supported by strong international expertise and by fund management houses with strong balance sheets. Each of the funds satisfies all the criteria listed above and all are tradeable daily.
Assuming an equal weighting to the three funds the Liquid Property Strategy offers diversification through exposure to different regions and sectors.
The strategy involves taking an equal position across the three recommended funds. By doing so, the investors achieve exposure to total assets in the region of €1 billion as well as gaining a combination of Irish, European and Global real estate exposure.

OTD in Space - Nov. 10: Europe's GOCE Satellite Falls from Space
On November 10, 2013, Europe's GOCE satellite fell to Earth. GOCE is short for Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer. Its mission was to map Earth's gravitational field. GOCE did this for four years. Then it ran out of fuel. Controllers weren't sure where it would fall back to Earth or linger in orbit. Some people worried that GOCE might crash into a populated area. However, the small spacecraft broke up in the atmosphere and didn't cause any property damage. It disintegrated about 50 miles above the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. The European Space Agency called the mission a success. GOCE lasted far longer than expected. It showed small variations in Earth's gravity, mapped the structure of Earth's crust and mantle, and tracked ocean currents.
Goce gravity map traces ocean circulation
Scientists have produced what they say is the most accurate space view yet of global ocean currents and the speed at which they move. The information has been drawn from a range of satellites, but in particular from the European Space Agency's Goce mission. This platform, which operated from 2009 to 2013, made ultra-precise measurements of Earth's gravity. It has detailed the role this force plays in driving ocean circulation. The new model - presented at a Goce conference at the Unesco HQ in Paris, France - will be of fundamental importance to climate modellers, because it is the mass movement of water that helps to transport heat around the globe. Goce carried instrumentation capable of sensing very subtle changes in Earth's gravitational tug. This pull varies ever so slightly from place to place because of the uneven distribution of mass inside the planet. Scientists used these observations to construct what is called a "geoid", which essentially describes the "level surface" on an idealised world. It is the shape the oceans would adopt if there were no winds, no currents and no tides to disturb them. By comparing this geoid with measurements of sea-surface height made by other spacecraft, researchers can see where water has become piled up. And it is water's desire always to "run downhill" that is a major influence on the direction and speed of currents - although atmospheric winds and the Earth's rotation are of course critical partners in the overall picture. Clearly visible in the map at the top of this page are the Agulhas Current flowing down the African coast; the Gulf Stream running across the Atlantic; the Kuroshio Current that sweeps south of Japan and out into the North Pacific; as well as the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, and the system of currents that hug the Equator. In places, these great trains of water move in excess of 1m per second. The new Goce model of ocean circulation has been checked and integrated with the point measurements from drifting buoys. This has helped capture some of the smaller-scale features in the currents that lie beyond the capabilities of satellites, even one that made as highly resolved observations as the Esa mission. "Goce has really made a breakthrough for the estimation of ocean currents," said Marie-Helene Rio from the Italian National Research Council's Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate. "The mission objective in terms of geoid [measurement] has been achieved at 1-2cm accuracy at 100km resolution, and in terms of ocean currents this translates into an error that is less than 4cm/s." Scientists can now add in data collected about sea temperature to calculate the amount of energy the oceans move around the Earth. Computer models that try to forecast future climate behaviour have to incorporate such details if they are to run more realistic simulations. The 5th International Goce User Workshop this week will be looking at the many other applications that came out of the satellite's mission. Mapping gravity variations can yield information about ice mass loss in the Antarctic, and the deep-Earth movements that give rise to great quakes. Goce was dubbed the "Ferrari of space" because of its sleek looks and the fact that it was assembled in Italy. When operational, it was the lowest flying scientific satellite in the sky, making observations at an altitude of just 224km during its late phases. This allowed the spacecraft to better sense the tiny gravity variations, but meant it had to constantly thrust an electric engine to stay aloft. When the xenon fuel for this engine was exhausted in November 2013, Goce succumbed to the force it had been sent up to study and fell back to Earth. Eyewitnesses saw surviving debris fall into the South Atlantic, just off the tip of South America, south of the Falkland Islands.
GOCE senses changing gravity
The animation, based on measurements from ESA's GOCE satellite and the NASA–German Grace mission, shows that ice lost from West Antarctica has caused a dip in Earth's gravity. GOCE was not designed to show changes in gravity over time. However, high-resolution gravity gradients that GOCE measured over Antarctica between November 2009 and June 2012 were analysed by scientists from the German Geodetic Research Institute, Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, the Jet Propulsion Lab in USA and the Technical University of Munich in Germany and reveal that ice lost during this period left its signature in Earth's gravity. The GOCE data complement those of the Grace mission, which was designed to show change but offers coarser resolution data than GOCE. This has allowed datasets from both gravity missions to be combined, offering even greater insight into the dynamics of Antarctica's different basins. Credits: ESA/DGFI/Planetary visions

The European Space agency's GOCE satellite has been in a low-Earth orbit Since 2009. The ESA says it cannot predict how quickly or where exactly the one-tonne spacecraft will crash. Most of it will burn up when it hits the earth's atmosphere, thought to be around Sunday. "In total since Sputnik was launched about 15,000 tons have returned from space" the ESA's Head of Space Debris, Heiner Klinkrad said, adding "typically between 10 and 40 percent of the initial mass survives such a re-entry. Velocity upon impact is between 200 and 300 hundred kilometres an hour, which is a speed that you can achieve on German motorways with a good-sized car," This may be one of the last crashes of its type, as an international agreement now means satellites must be directional on re-entry to allow them to be crashed harmlessly into the ocean.

ESA's GOCE gravity-mapping satellite to fall to Earth next month
Originally published on September 26, 2013 The European Space Agency's GOCE satellite will fall back to Earth next month after nearly five years gathering data on the Earth's gravitational field. The $450 million GOCE satellite was launched in 2009 with the mission of creating the most accurate and detailed model of the Earth's gravitational field yet, known as a geoid. The GOCE's position in relation to Earth is measured by GPS tools and this data helps develop a map of of the planet's gravitational field. Onboard instruments which detect tiny variations in the Earth's gravitational pull help complete the picture. The spacecraft is the lowest-orbiting satellite in history: at just 254 km above the Earth it comes very close to the lowest safe orbital altitude. The satellite will begin falling Earthward from a height of 224 km when it exhausts its fuel in mid-October.Most of the satellite is expected to disintegrate in the atmosphere during its descent. The data provided by GOCE will allow scientists to better understand global ocean circulation system and the behaviour of tectonic plates in earthquake zones, among numerous other applications. -------------------------------------------------------- TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.

Pulling together: How gravity shapes Planet Earth - Space
Gravity is one of the fundamental forces of nature, its invisible grip governing our planet - from the rocks inside to the seas on the surface. However, getting a grip on gravity on a global scale can only be done from space, and that's something ESA's GOCE satellite mission has been doing since 2009.

Gravity Ocean Circulation Explorer
Satellites map changes in Earth's surface caused by earthquakes but never before have sound waves from a quake been sensed directly in space -- until now. ESA's hyper-sensitive GOCE gravity satellite has added yet another first to its list of successes. Earthquakes not only create seismic waves that travel through Earth's interior, but large quakes also cause the surface of the planet to vibrate like a drum. This produces sound waves that travel upwards through the atmosphere. The size of these waves changes from centimetres at the surface to kilometres in the thin atmosphere at altitudes of 200--300 km. Only low-frequency sound -- infrasound -- reaches these heights. It causes vertical movements that expand and contract the atmosphere by accelerating air particles. On Monday, Japan remembers the 20 000 people who died in the earthquake and tsunami that devastated its northeastern coast two years ago. New studies have revealed that this massive quake was also felt in space by ESA's GOCE satellite. Since it was launched in 2009, GOCE has been mapping Earth's gravity with unrivalled precision, orbiting at the lowest altitude of any observation satellite. But at less than 270 km up, it has to cope with air drag as it cuts through the remnants of the atmosphere. The cleverly designed satellite carries an innovative ion engine that instantly compensates for any drag by generating carefully calculated thrusts. These measurements are provided by very precise accelerometers. While the measurements ensure that GOCE remains ultra-stable in its low orbit to collect ultra-precise measurements of Earth's gravity, atmospheric density and vertical winds along its path can be inferred from the thruster and accelerometer data. Exploiting GOCE data to the maximum, scientists from the Research Institute in Astrophysics and Planetology in France, the French space agency CNES, the Institute of Earth Physics of Paris and Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, supported by ESA's Earth Observation Support to Science Element, have been studying past measurements. They discovered that GOCE detected sound waves from the massive earthquake that hit Japan on 11 March 2011. When GOCE passed through these waves, its accelerometers sensed the vertical displacements of the surrounding atmosphere in a way similar to seismometers on the surface of Earth. Wave-like variations in air density were also observed.

Gravity's grip on earth
http://www.euronews.com/ Gravity is one of the fundamental forces of nature, its invisible grip governing our planet - from the rocks inside to the seas on the surface. In this edition of Space, we begin our adventure in a massive cave in northern Italy, a space beneath the surface of the Earth that is so big it has an effect on the local gravity field. If you parked a car weighing one tonne above this cave, it would weigh five grammes less than elsewhere. However, getting a grip on gravity on a global scale can only be done from space, and that's something ESA's GOCE satellite mission has been doing since 2009. One of the ultimate goals of GOCE is to improve our knowledge of the geoid, a kind of 'gravity map' of the planet, that is essential for oceanographers, surveyors, engineers and Earth-science researchers. Also tracking invaluable information about the Earth's gravity field is the GRACE mission. While this pair of satellites don't have the high precision of other missions, they offer something unique: a monthly survey of the gravity field. This US-German mission has been tracking the loss of ice mass over Greenland for the past decade, offering useful evidence for those studying climate change.

GOCE: Geoid
Launched on 17 March 2009, ESA's Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) is bringing about a whole new level of understanding of one of Earth's most fundamental forces of nature: the gravity field. Dubbed the 'Formula 1' of satellites, GOCE is mapping Earth's gravity field in unprecedented detail. This has given rise to a unique model of the 'geoid', which is the surface of an hypothetical global ocean in the absence of tides and currents, shaped only by gravity. It is a crucial reference for measuring ocean circulation and sea-level change, which are affected by climate change. The colours in the image represent deviations in height ( -100 m to + 100 m) from an ideal geoid. The blue colours represent low values and the reds/yellows represent high values.

GOCE Reveals Earth's gravity in unprecedented detail
After just two years in orbit, ESA's GOCE satellite has gathered enough data to map Earth's gravity with unrivalled precision. Scientists now have access to the most accurate model of the 'geoid' ever produced to further our understanding of how Earth works.
Geoid based on only two months of GOCE data
The first geoid based on only two months of GOCE data, from November and December 2009, shows the excellent capability of the satellite to map tiny variations in Earth's gravity. The geoid is the shape of an imaginary global ocean dictated by gravity in the absence of tides and currents. It is a crucial reference for accurately measuring ocean circulation, sea-level change and ice dynamics -- all affected by climate change. An accurate model of the geoid is also important for surveying and geodesy, and for studying Earth interior processes.

GOCE launch highlights: The 'magic moment' of a launch
Lauching a satellite is a risky business, and ESA's GOCE Project Manager Danilo Muzi describes how it feels at this exciting stage of the mission preparations.
GOCE launch highlights: The launch
The tension builds in the seconds before rocket ignition and lift-off... and then everything seems to happen at once. Mission controllers monitor the progress of GOCE in the crucial minutes after launch, and then celebrate!
The Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) satellite developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) was lofted into a near-Sun-synchronous, low Earth orbit by a Rockot launcher lifting off from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in northern Russia. The Russian Rockot launcher, derived from a converted ballistic missile, lifted off at 15:21 CET (14:21 GMT) and flew northward over the Arctic. About 90 minutes later, after one orbital revolution and two Breeze-KM upper-stage burns, the 1052 kg spacecraft was successfully released into a circular polar orbit at 280 km altitude with 96.7º inclination to the Equator. The launch was procured from Eurockot Launch Services, a German/Russian company based in Bremen, Germany.
Understanding our Earth system (part 2)
GOCE will give us a better understanding of the physics of Earth's interior, the ocean currents and heat transport in the seas. It will also give us a better global height-reference system, which can serve as a reference surface for the study of topographic processes and sea-level change, and better estimates of the thickness of polar ice-sheets and their movement.
The 'Ferrari' of gravity satellite missions
Since the gravitational signal is stronger closer to Earth, the 'arrow-like', 5 metre long GOCE satellite has been designed to cut through of what remains of Earth's atmosphere at just 250 km above the surface of the planet - looking more like a 'spaceplane' than a 'space satellite'.
ESA´s GOCE Satellite Launch Animation
A Rockot rocket will launch ESA´s GOCE satellite from Plesetsk.
ESAs Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) satellite was due to be launched by a Russian Rockot vehicle from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Northern Russia on March 16th. However, the launch operations were stopped a few seconds before scheduled liftoff as the doors of the launch service tower did not open. Due to this anomaly, the tower was held in position and did not move back as required for a launch.
What's the story behind GOCE?
Dubbed the 'Formula 1' of gravity space missions, this sleek high-tech satellite features many 'firsts' in its design and new technologies. The most advanced gravity-measuring spacecraft to date, GOCE will realise a range of fascinating new possibilities for the fields of oceanography, solid Earth physics, geodesy and sea-level research, and significantly contribute to furthering our understanding of climate change.
Preparing GOCE for space
Follow GOCE's progress towards launch, as it takes off aboard an Antonov-124 cargo aircraft for its flight to the Arkhangelsk Airport in Russia, en route to Russias Plesetsk Cosmodrome, about 800 km north of Moscow.
Introducing the GOCE Earth Explorer satellite
To achieve its crucial scientific objectives, ESA's 'Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer', or GOCE, satellite must orbit as low as possible, in order to sense minute variations in the Earth's gravitational field - at the edge of space and the limits of the atmosphere at only 268 km!
GOCE in operation
For around 20 months, GOCE will gather data to map Earths gravity field with unprecedented accuracy and spatial resolution. To ensure such precise measurements, GOCEs own position must be precisely known at all times, measured using GPS.
GOCE reaching orbit
See how GOCE will be launched into space by a Rockot vehicle from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia. GOCE will be injected into a near-circular polar orbit at an altitude of about 280 km, from where the satellite will fall gradually to its operational altitude of around 260 km, travelling at about 8 km a second!

Soviet Cenotaph, Berlin
Wednesday, 14th December 2005 by Alex Turnbull
This is the Soviet Cenotaph in Treptower Park, Berlin. It was built under orders from Stalin to serve as a memorial to the 20,000 Soviet soldiers that died during the Battle of Berlin in 1945, and features a 13 metre-tall statue of a Russian soldier holding a child and a sword, standing over a broken swastika.
Supposedly the statue reflects an occasion when a Soviet soldier saved a German girl – and it still stands today due to the German agreement that it would retain all Soviet war-memorials in perpetuity, as a condition for the reunification of the divided country.
The Wikipedia page is a little empty, but War-Memorial.net has an excellent pictorial tour of the memorial.
Thanks to Peter.

Under the guidance of PI prof. dr. Violet Soen, the ten members of the research group www.transregionalhistory.eu prioritize the study of borders and bordercrossings in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. They have developed a novel method that serves as a valuable tool for analyzing the complexity of early modern borders, boundaries and borderlands (Journal of Early Modern History 2017), and they are working towards a trilogy of edieted volumes: Transregional Reformations (V&R 2019), Transregional Territories (Brepols 2020) and Noblesses Transregional (Brepols 2021). They work towards the compilation of databases on print and intellectual history in early modern borderlands. As the Low Countries were embedded in the Spanish Empire, this group is very strong on Spanish History, and the PI is series editor of Habsburg Worlds at Brepols Publishers.
We seek to find answers to four exciting research questions related to borderlands, migration and religious war in the early modern era. (1) Our first research question deals with 'transregional territories': it explores how dynastic and religious war led to changing borders and border management in the early modern era. (2) The second research goal examines 'transregional reformations': it analyzes how the Protestant and Catholic Reformations reconfigured border crossings for religious and intellectual reasons. (3) A third and related project charts how a 'transregional print culture' and intellectual life functioned in buttressing and transcending new confessional frontiers. (4) The fourth and final question asks how 'transregional elites' interacted in all of the aforementioned border dynamics. Our fields of expertise thus straddle questions of religious war and peace, inquisition and reconciliation, church-state relationships and the history of the Catholic and Protestant Reformations between 1500 and 1800

Weekend Watch: Preserving national parks
In this new 3-minute video, the national parks speak up about needing some major TLC.
Amelia Arvesen
From outdated facilities to crumbling roads to well-traveled trails, many national parks are in need of facelifts with a total price tag of more than $11.6 billion. In order for generations to come to enjoy the parks' wonders and rejuvenating magic, that maintenance backlog must be addressed, according to the National Park Service.
"Over the years, aging facilities, growing visitation, and limited resources have made that task even harder, resulting in a backlog of maintenance work," the NPS wrote. "We have an integrated set of systems to record and track the maintenance needs of park facilities, including the delayed repairs that are collectively called 'deferred maintenance.'"
This new 3-minute video released on Thursday is filmed from the perspective of the national parks, and meant to inspire people to get involved and advocate for their preservation.

Q: Select column entries as one string I have table like this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `test` (
    `a` int(11) NOT NULL,
    `b` int(11) NOT NULL,
    `c` int(11) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

(1, 2, 3),
(4, 5, 6),
(7, 8, 9),
(10, 11, 12),
(13, 14, 15);

Which statement would be get out a string like this "1,4,7,10,13"?
I don't understand what one of contact functions i need, and how to use it right, i get anytime errors or wrong strings

A: You could use GROUP_CONCAT().  In this example, this would work.  Obviously you would probably need add a WHERE clause to it.
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(a)

FROM   test

Also if you wanted to do this for multiple groups you would want to use a GROUP BY clause.

A: Try GROUP_CONCAT
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(a) FROM test;

A: What you're looking for is the function: GROUP_CONCAT
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(a) AS result_list
FROM test
