Last month we introduced our new project, which is centered around determining the top YouTube moment in Pac-12 basketball history. We continue the nomination portion with Oregon State.
We open with perhaps the most explosive dunk in Beavers basketball history, courtesy of shooting guard Jared Cunningham. With three minutes left in the opening week of conference play, Oregon State was hanging onto a two-point lead against vaunted Arizona. Getting a running start from the three-point line, Cunningham read Joe Burton's missed jumper perfectly, rising over a pair of Wildcats and one of his own teammates to slam the ball home one-handed. If you were watching the game live, you'll remember how officials just stopped the game for a good 20 seconds because no one was quite sure what they just witnessed. There was no foul or timeout called, everyone just stopped playing. I thought that was pretty cool. If the Beavers wouldn't have pulled the upset, then the play would have just been remembered as a nice moment in an otherwise tough loss. But the offense continued to thrive down the stretch, and by the end of the night the Beavers were tied atop the league standings and owned the #6 play of the day on SportsCenter.
Remember just a couple of weeks ago, when basketball games scheduled to be played on aircraft carriers were getting condensationed out, Illinois magically stormed through the Maui Invitational bracket, and Arizona defeated Florida, Miami (FL), and San Diego State, all in the course of 10 days? Well, it may seem like just yesterday, but in reality another college hoops season has flown by. Today, two Pac-12 teams will honor their seniors in their final home games of the regular season. We'll do the same, highlighting the guys that will be missed the most over the next few weeks.
We look today at Oregon State, as the Beavers' Senior Day comes when they host white-hot California. Joe Burton will be the lone honoree, as the only other senior on the roster, Angus Brandt, sat out the majority of the season with a torn ACL and hopes to return in 2013-14. Burton was head coach Craig Robinson's first commitment of his initial recruiting class, and ironically, he's the only one playing his final game in Gill Coliseum tomorrow. Roberto Nelson had to sit out his first season in Corvallis due to an NCAA Clearinghouse issue, Jared Cunningham left after his junior season for the NBA Draft, and Rhys Murphy transferred to Chaminade after the 2011-12 campaign. Burton made history when he signed with Oregon State, becoming the first Native American men's basketball player to ever earn a scholarship at a Pac-10/Pac-12 school. After a quiet freshman season playing outside of Robinson's seven-man rotation, Burton became a regular on the court from his second year forward. But without question, this final season with the Beavers has been Burton's finest.
With the departure of Tony Wroten, Jr., Washington is currently without a defined leader on the team. When asked who might be the face of the team after the second day of practice, senior guard Abdul Gaddy replied "The team is the face of the team." That's a stark change from last season, when Wroten was the go-to guy whenever the Dawgs needed a late bucket or to break out of a dry spell on offense. There's certainly no problem with having no set leader going into the season; after all, it's one of the bigger clichés in college sports that every team needs one of them. As long as someone, whether C.J. Wilcox, Scott Suggs or whoever, is willing to have the ball in their hands in the waning minutes and has the ability to make a play, there's no problem. However, there is such a thing as being too unselfish, and close wins will soon become losses if that happens in Seattle this winter. The Huskies will play their one and only exhibition game on October 24 against Western Washington.
Oregon State finished the month of March last season with a record of 6-2, an eight-game stretch in which leading scorer Jared Cunningham didn't play very well. With Cunningham now playing for the Dallas Mavericks, that stretch gives Beaver fans the hope that players like Ahmad Starks, Devon Collier, and Angus Brandt can keep up the same offensive output without their star guard. Even more important than the trio above, however, will be the play of junior shooting guard Roberto Nelson. Nelson will be the Beavers' only non-starter-turned-starter from a year ago, but he did play in all 36 games. According to head coach Craig Robinson, Nelson has matured and built on the experience gained from playing in each and every contest as a sophomore, and is ready to take the next step needed in 2012-13.
Just one year removed from a cancer scare before the start of practice, California head coach Mike Montgomery is healthy and ready for the 2012-13 season to tip off. The tone was much different last year at this time, as Montgomery underwent surgery October 19 for bladder cancer, and subsequently he was declared cancer free and able to work the entirety of his 31st season as a head coach. The Golden Bears were the only Pac-12 team to gain an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament last season, and if they are to return it will be behind the play of sophomore guard Ricky Kreklow and junior guard Allen Crabbe. Both are strong shooters but need to show the ability to get to the free throw line more if the Bears are to compete for a Pac-12 championship.
The air is crisp, the leaves are turning, and practices across the nation are beginning. That means it's time for some preseason predictions. Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star, like everyone else around the country, said that he's been wrestling on whether to put Arizona or UCLA at the top of the Pac this year. He eventually went with Ben Howland's Bruins, with Arizona and the two Bay Area schools rounding out the upper third of the league race.
We close with some recruiting news, and some big news at that. Class of 2013 small forward Jabari Parker, largely considered to be the top recruit in the nation, named Stanford as one of his final five schools on Friday. Parker's ability to score from anywhere on the offensive end of the floor makes him this year's can't-miss prospect. The Simeon Career Academy (IL) product is also considering BYU, Duke, Florida, and Michigan State. Noticeably missing is Kentucky, who just got verbals from the second and fourth best players in the country on October 4 in the Harrison twins.
Throughout the preseason, the Pac-12 microsite will be rolling out these featured breakdowns of each of the 12 league schools. Today's release are the Oregon State Beavers.
Strengths: Oregon State returns four starters from last year's squad, all of whom had terrific finishes to the 2011-12 season. Ahmad Starks, a shoot-first, pass-later point guard, will be the key to making the Beaver offense run in the post Jared Cunningham era. As Cunningham's offensive control began to wear down in postseason play last March, Starks stepped up and averaged 11.3 PPG in his final seven outings. If he is able to show that lights-out ability once again, defenses will have to give Angus Brandt and Devon Collier some space in the post. Both can go to work on either side of the hoop, and Brandt also has the luxury of a soft jumper to extend defenses even more. The Beavers should once again shine in the stealing and shot-blocking facets of the game, even if they do lose arguably the top defender in the conference. Starks will take Cunningham's role of the feisty, energetic man up top, while Collier and Eric Moreland's long wingspans make it virtually impossible for anyone to float up a shot in the lane.
Weaknesses: After Starks, the guard position gets downright scary for Oregon State. Junior Roberto Nelson will join Starks as the other starter in the backcourt, and while Nelson can certainly shoot the ball, doing it with consistency and becoming a triple threat are completely separate issues. Freshman guard/forward Victor Robbins will be next in line for backcourt minutes, and he is the player most like Cunningham on the current roster. Robbins' athleticism and ball-handling ability made him a great late get in the 2012 recruiting class, but it's never good when you might have to count on a true freshman at significant times throughout a game.
Non-conference Tests: The Beavers loaded up their slate with five challenging non-conference opponents in 2012-13, four of which will be played away from home. Starting off the list is a visit from New Mexico State on November 11, followed just four days later by a matchup with Alabama in New York City. They'll face either Villanova or Purdue the next day at the same site, then get a small break before playing a top five Kansas squad in Kansas City on November 30. The final "test" will be the easiest of the five; a 90-minute road trip up to Portland to face Portland State on December 12.
Toughest Conference Stretch: The Beavers will play arguably five of the toughest six teams throughout a 19-day stretch in January. The stretch starts off with a visit from Arizona on January 12, and continues five nights later with a trip to Pauley Pavilion to face vaunted UCLA. A tricky USC team is next, followed by a pair of home games against the Washington schools. Finally, they'll face California in Berkeley on the last day of January. If Oregon State can come out of these six with a 3-3 split, the schedule lightens up enough for the Beavers to make a run at a first round bye in the Pac-12 Tournament. Anything less and coach Craig Robinson proves once again his team isn't ready to hang around with the conference's elite.
Seven Pac-12 schools took a foreign exhibition trip this summer. We recap them below with Drew taking UCLA, Utah, and Colorado, and Connor taking the rest.
What: The Wildcats swept their two games against Bahamian competition.
Why: As Arizona transitions from an NIT one-and-done to having at least NCAA Third Round expectations, this trip was all about integrating instant-impact newcomers Kaleb Tarczewski, Grant Jerrett, Brandon Ashley, Gabe York, and Mark Lyons into the rotation. Setting lineups and seeing what groups of players meshed well together was much more important than the actual play against less than stellar competition.
Who: Lyons and fellow senior Kevin Parrom were the stars of the trip, each averaging 18.5 PPG. The most anticipated freshman to don the cardinal red and navy blue in a while, Tarczewski, scored eight points in each game on the trip. Arizona absolutely destroyed their lowly competition, winning both games by a combined 112 points.
What: The Buffaloes went 2-3 in five games against European professional teams.
Why: With CU breaking in six scholarship freshmen, the trip gave head coach Tad Boyle a chance to build camaraderie between the talented new guys and their six returnees from last year's Pac-12 championship team. The trip also gave the freshmen a chance to build an identity of their own, evidenced by the fact that Boyle sat out the core returnees from last year's squad – Andre Roberson, Askia Booker, Spencer Dinwiddie and Sabatino Chen – in one of the games, allowing five of the freshmen to start the game together.
Who: While Roberson was his usual magnificent self – he averaged 14.4 points and 13.8 rebounds – freshman Josh Scott eliminated any doubt that he could be an immediate impact player. Scott led the Buffs in scoring in four of the five games, coming up a point short of the leaders in the opening game; he averaged 17.4 point per game for the trip. His classmate Xavier Johnson also made a statement, averaging more than ten points to go with seven rebounds for the game.
As part of our Oregon State week, we wanted to reach out to the guys at Building The Dam for their takes on the upcoming Beaver basketball season. Andy Wooldridge was kind enough to spend some time with us and give us his thoughts.
Rush The Court: Let's get the most important topic out-of-the-way first. Jared Cunningham was the team's top defender and threat on offense. How do you replace him, and is there any chance at improvement with him gone?
Building The Dam: There's no one player who can replace Cunningham on this team. He was a rare player, the type who only comes along once every decade or so at programs like Oregon State. That doesn't mean that the Beavers can't collectively step up to the challenge, though. Ahmad Starks and Roberto Nelson must both find better consistency, and more consistent offense from the frontcourt wouldn't hurt either. Defensively, Cunningham wasn't a lockdown defender, and it wasn't that unusual for some of the better guards in the conference to break him down with the dribble. Cunningham wasn't that great at denying the perimeter shot either. These are two things Oregon State needs to improve on this season as a team, and that would have been the case even if Jared had returned for his senior season. But what he did have was both the anticipation and the acceleration to make opponents pay for a mistake, often explosively. It wouldn't just be a four- to five-point swing, it would be a momentum changer. That's going to be the toughest thing to replace. Challe Barton has a huge opportunity to step up and fill the void Cunningham left; we should know by Christmas whether he's up to it.
RTC: Considering he's churned out good recruiting class after good recruiting class and is already four years into his tenure, is there any pressure on Craig Robinson to make at least an NIT appearance in 2012-13?
BTD: Pressure? No. Expectations, yes. By that I mean there isn't immediate pressure from the Athletic Director or the University President, who are the ones who matter. Remember, Robinson just delivered the best season in 22 years, and only the second winning record in that time frame. And they played an entertaining, high scoring style of ball in doing so. Both Bob De Carolis and President Ray remember the Jay John days very clearly. But fans are having expectations of even better things to come, at least the newer generation of them. Continued growth in attendance, which translates to continued growth of income, will only come with wins, and actual quality non-conference opponents, which only wins and fuller houses can deliver. If Robinson suffers another fallback as happened in the 2010-11 season, then the pressure will start to mount in the 2013-14 campaign in direct inverse to ticket sales and donations. Oregon State does not have a "quick hook" management style, so Robinson, like most coaches on campus, has more time to work with than would be the case at several other schools in the conference in any number of sports.
Oregon State loses its top scorer and defender from 2011-12's team, but the Beavers welcome in three incoming freshman and a transfer to try to fill the big hole left by Jared Cunningham. Along with those four small forwards/combo guards is a 6'10" forward who redshirted his freshman season due to a broken leg. Below, we'll take a look at the five newcomers to Robinson's program, in roughly the order in which they'll impact the team next season.
Victor Robbins, Freshman, Small Forward, 6'6" 195 lbs, Compton High School, Compton, CA – While junior shooting guard Roberto Nelson will certainly get the first opportunity to replace Cunningham's minutes, Robbins looks to be the newcomer most fit to acquire a backup role behind Nelson. We'll start on the offensive side of the floor. His speed and natural athleticism will remind fans of Cunningham, especially when he's running the lanes in transition. Robbins can go to either side and knock down a pull-up jumper, although he's much more comfortable going to the right. On defense, his lateral quickness and length will deny opponents entry into the lane, not to mention passes and shots will be difficult to get off. With all of that said, the biggest thing Robbins will need to work on throughout the summer is being more engaged without the ball. Once the rock is in his hands, his speed and athleticism opens up many doors for him. But as he makes the jump from high school to Pac-12 ball, getting open and creating opportunities for himself will become much more difficult. If he improves on that, and also adds a three-point shot to his game, Robbins will undoubtedly be the Beavers top newcomer in 2012-13. Almost to demonstrate that, Robbins led all newcomers with five points in limited playing time against St. Charles Basketball Club in Oregon State's first European Tour competition.
Daniel Gomis, Redshirt Freshman, Forward, 6'10" 225 lbs, Oak Hill Academy, Mouth of Wilson, VA – Gomis was set to earn solid minutes as a freshman before a broken leg while overseas ended any of those aspirations. While Gomis' offensive skill set is limited to dunking and just about nothing else, he makes up for it on the defensive end of the floor. He has a lean frame with broad shoulders, making him athletic and a monster on the glass. He is also quick enough to guard multiple positions on the floor. While his limited offensive game will likely keep him off the floor in conference play, it will be interesting to see what he can do earlier in the season when the Beavers aren't going to have to put up 80 points night in and night out to win ball games. Craig Robinson can certainly use all the help he can get on the defensive glass, and a few cheap buckets here and there via offensive rebounds picked up by Gomis would help as well. We haven't even talked about his shot-blocking ability, which combined with Eric Moreland and Devon Collier down low could be absolutely lethal. Gomis is one of the rare cases where his playing time could rest on the shoulders of his teammates. With the departure of Cunningham, Oregon State will need all the help they can get from the newcomers and players that came off the bench last season. So if Nelson finds his jump shot and Moreland builds off a strong finish to last season, there could be times in big moments when the Beavers need to go big on defense and sacrifice some points for a big block or rebound. Gomis scored one point on a free throw in the Europe opener as he continues to play tentatively after the broken leg.

Heathrow third runway
Ministers face fresh legal challenge over Heathrow airport plans
Critics say plan for third runway runs counter to UK's legally binding target of net zero emissions by 2050

The government faces a legal challenge over its plan to expand Heathrow airport, with lawyers and environmentalists demanding it review its policy in line with its commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050.
The Good Law Project, a not-for-profit organisation with a focus on public interest cases including environmentalism and tackling poverty, argues that the government must update its plan for a third runway to take into account the emissions pledge it made following the approval for the airport expansion in June 2018.
Since the Heathrow airport national policy statement, the policy framework that governs the construction of a third runway, was published, the government has committed to a legally binding target of net-zero emissions by 2050. It also pledged to cut carbon emissions by 68% by 2030 earlier this month.
The challenge follows a supreme court decision last week that the airport's expansion was not unlawful through a failure to treat the 2015 Paris agreement as government policy. The court's ruling, however, confined its reasoning to the legal regime of the time of the framework's publication. It did not consider the effects of the government's subsequent, legally binding pledge.
The UK became the first major economy to set a net-zero greenhouse emissions goal in June 2019. The aim had previously been to reduce emissions by at least 80% from 1990 levels.
"Setting targets does nothing to help halt climate change. We actually need to hit them," said Jolyon Maugham QC, the director of the Good Law Project. "And that means we only approve new transport infrastructure when doing so is consistent with that target. We can't allow climate change targets to become lies we tell to our children and grandchildren. It's not too late to stop Heathrow expansion."
Setting the 2050 target was one of Theresa May's last acts as prime minister, and has remained somewhat of a badge of honour for the government. Ministers routinely describe its environmental commitments as world-leading. A year on from the 2019 neutrality target, however, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) was able to cite little concrete action taken to achieve the goal.
Asked by the Guardian in June what measures had been introduced in the race for net zero over the past year, the department listed three points: a consultation on bringing forward the phaseout of petrol and diesel cars from 2040 to 2035, £800m for carbon capture and storage, and plans to double the UK's international climate finance funding from £5.8bn to £11.6bn.
Dale Vince, the founder of the green energy company Ecotricity and partner with the Good Law Project on this challenge, criticised the government for failing to take the bold decisions required to meet the climate targets it boasts about.
He said: "This is a government that imposed a carbon tax on green energy, but exempts large users of fossil fuels, and which charges 20% VAT on solar panels for home but only 5% on coal. These are the simple anomalies that should surely not exist. The more serious ones are national planning policies which support the old way of doing things, fossil fuelled power stations and more runways. It's a ridiculous contradiction. We should not need to go to court to fix it, but we do."

Does "choice" also apply to Governor Huckabee's pardon of dangerous criminals against the wishes of state parole officials several years ago? Thanks to this holier than thou would-be President, four police officers were shot dead in 2009 near Tacoma, Washington, by that criminal as they sat at a restaurant, without a chance to defend themselves. Just a matter of "choice," eh?

Ear wax might not seem like a big deal, but for people who are hard of hearing or have issues with their middle ear, a build up of the substance can seriously impact their quality of life. Many people use cotton swabs to clean ear wax, but that can cause irritation and push wax deeper into ears, leading to blockages and infections. Others with more severe buildups depend on regular visits to the doctor.
Now a startup called Clear Ear wants to make it easier for people to keep their ears healthy with two products. One, the Oto-Tip, is meant for basic daily cleaning. The other, called TEC Home, is designed to remove ear wax plugs. The company is currently raising money for both in a flexible funding campaign on Indiegogo. Backers can also donate to Clear Ear's Here and There program in Varni, India, where it is partnering with Healthy Scholars and the Community Center for Development (CCD) to hold a health screening camp for students.
Clear Ear started as a class project at the Stanford Biodesign Program, where co-founders Lily Truong, a biochemical engineer, and Dr. Vandana Jain, an eye surgeon, met.
"Together we discovered that the number one cause of treatable impaired hearing worldwide is ear wax buildup. I've had firsthand experience with hearing impairment after my mother went deaf in her left ear years ago and have seen that ear health is a space that hasn't seen a lot of innovation," says Truong.
Ear wax buildup occurs when an ear canal's self-cleaning mechanism is interrupted, she explains. Causes can include wearing ear buds or hearing devices for long periods of time. Some people also produce too much ear wax. Children have smaller ear canals and elderly people's ear wax changes in consistency, making them more susceptible to buildup and ear wax plugs.
"For most people without ear wax plug problems, proper ear cleaning is still a big deal just because of the frequency that people clean their ears with harmful objects whether they have buildup or not," Truong adds.
Clear Ear aspires to become the "Sonicare of ear cleaning." The Oto-Tip has a soft, flexible spinning tip that directs ear wax out of the ear canal, instead of deeper into it (as cotton swabs tend to do), and is designed to protect the ear drum with a blue cap that prevents it from being pushed too far. Unlike cotton swabs, the Oto-Tip does not dry out ear canals.
The TEC Home is designed to be an alternative to deep ear cleanings at doctors, during which water jets are injected into the ear canal with a metal syringe. The device heats up water to body temperature to prevent dizziness, sprays water to the sides of the ear canal, and then suctions out water and wax.
"The idea is that if you can clean your ears at home every so often, that will make the larger buildups less likely," says Truong.
"In my travels abroad, I met a student who thought he had been deaf for two years, but it ended up just being an ear wax plug. Once it was removed, he could hear again. I've previously seen people use really dangerous methods to clean out ear wax like safety pins, ear candling, and bobby pins. I remember meeting one student who cleaned his ears with a piece of chalk that broke off in his ear, blocking his hearing until it was cleared out," says Truong.
In addition to hearing, the Healthy Scholar's Health Screening Camp will also focus on thyroid, vision, dental, and girls health. Backers of Clear Ear's campaign can chose to contribute to Here and There–$20 will provide a ear health screening and cleaning for a student in Varni. The Oto-Tip is $30, while the TEC Home is $100. Both devices have an estimated delivery date of December 2014.

Almost every parameter defining a chromatographic separation is temperature dependent. Suffice it to say that temperature control provides an indispensable tool to optimize your HPLC or UHPLC assay. As you will easily recognize, retention times will be more constant with constant temperature, but varying the temperature can also be a great help to tune selectivity, improve peak shape and reduce analysis time. Plus, high temperatures reduce column back pressure significantly, allowing higher solvent flow rates, narrower columns or smaller particles. Clearly, such benefits will only happen if the temperature itself is stable and precise, and without temperature gradients in the oven or the column. And this is exactly what we had in mind when we designed the MISTRAL™ with its forced air oven, excellent temperature control and integrated solvent pre-heater.


The movie Office Space is a film that was produced in 1999 which presents a dysfunctional corporate setting in a comedic fashion. The movie portrays the work-life of three average guys, who work at a software company called Initech. Although the movie is entertaining, it teaches us some valuable lessons in regards to organizational practices and tactics that successful organizations ought to avoid.
To briefly summarize the plot, the movie follows the main character, Peter, as he comes to the realization that he has become dreadful of his typical 9-5 job. His nonchalant attitude and lack of commitment to the company stem from the unhealthy working environment that Peter and his friends (Samir and Michael) have to endure, as well as the ineffective business practices from the top-down. Early in the movie, Peter was hypnotized one evening and he subsequently found a new meaning to life. This served as his tipping point and he decided his actions should be centered around what made him feel good. Consequently, he slowly became the individual who he kept running from all along – brutally honest and open to share his opinions. He was no longer afraid how others viewed him nor did he care that he could potentially lose his job.

Smart from the start
This month's MBS round table, sponsored by Swegon, considered the rise of the smart building and smart kit.
Our panel of experts found that to make the most of these new technologies we need a smart approach to design, installation – and use. Karen Fletcher reports.
The current global market for 'smart building systems' was estimated at around $7 billions in 2017 but is expected to grow beyond $30 billions by 2022. This means the sector is outstripping other parts of construction by some distance. Part of the reason for growth is interest from clients in benefits such as energy efficiency and data on building performance. Manufacturers of building controls equipment are also adding smart features to their products, including wireless interoperability, remote monitoring and links to smartphone apps. As these factors merge, their impact on how buildings are designed, constructed and operated increases.
WHO'S ON THE PANEL
Jon Belfield – president of the Building Controls Industry Association (BCIA) and managing director, InTandem Controls
Dene Kent – Indoor Climate sales director, Swegon
Darren Peel – Indoor Climate controls specialist, Swegon
Terry Sharp – vice-president of the BCIA and associate, NDA Consulting
Reanna Taylor – senior project engineer NG Bailey and CIBSE Graduate of the Year
Guy Willis-Robb – associate director, Harley Haddow
Nathan Wood – chair of the BESA Health & Wellbeing Group and managing director, Farmwood Mechanical & Electrical Services
One of the challenges when discussing smart buildings is finding a definition. Reanna Taylor, senior project engineer at NG Bailey takes a user-centric approach: "You could say that a smart building is one that supports the physiological wellbeing of the occupants."
Jon Belfield, president of the Building Controls Industry Association (BCIA) says: "There is no real measure of 'smart' has been achieved and perhaps we shouldn't have one because every building could always be made smarter. And we have to ask, does it really need defining?"
Even if there is no technical definition, our group of experts did focus on outcomes that they deemed 'smart'. These include energy efficiency, and a healthy, productive environment for occupants.
Dene Kent, Indoor Climate sales director for Swegon, says: "There is a clear link between the indoor environment and our health and ability to perform. I would say that a smart building is one that continuously adjusts that indoor environment according to the needs of occupants, maximising comfort while also minimising power consumption."
Our panel of experts agreed that advanced building management systems (BMS) can bring a number of benefits to building owners, occupiers and the environment. However, smart kit and its integration into an integrated BMS often requires a level of investment that can be challenged in an industry where capital expenditure is prioritised.
Jon Belfield
Reanna Taylor says: "At the contracting stage there is a tendency to look for ways to drive down costs, so it is important to make a good case for smart solutions so that they are viewed as an investment that will not only pay back over a number of years, but actually go on to add money to the bottom line in the long-term."
Jon Belfield agrees: "Can we challenge the construction phase to adopt the long-term view that is needed to deliver savings? I think it will eventually catch up." He also says that suppliers have to be fair to customers: "If you haven't got the money then there is nothing we can do about that. But we can make sure clients don't make the wrong decisions during construction that can't be reversed, so there is still an opportunity to improve the building performance at a later stage."
The panel viewed the education of building owners (and users) about the benefits of smart technology and BMS as vital. Not only is it more likely to discourage the value engineering of control systems at the early stages of design, it results in better long-term use of the systems.
Guy Willis-Robb, associate director of consulting engineer Harley Haddow, points out: "Often clients tell us they don't want a 'complicated controls system'. But when they explain what they want to achieve, it turns out that they do want something that's an advanced system. There will always be cost pressures, but we give our clients an idea of the impact on running costs if they choose to remove an item from the specification. This makes them aware of the long-term implications."
Dene Kent
Of course, knowing what the client wants is not always possible, as Terry Sharp, vice president of the BCIA and associate at NDA Consulting, points out: "Often, buildings are speculative; just shell-and-core, so we don't know what the client wants, how they will occupy the building or how they will use it. It's only once a client is in the building that you could set up a tailored solution for them. You can't apply a user-focused control strategy on a speculative development."
Darren Peel, controls specialist at Swegon says that flexibility is a key element of smart buildings: "Buildings and spaces in them are often converted for different uses during their lifetime. A smart solution ensures that this can be managed successfully. For example, using wireless communication ensures that you have an infrastructure that allows for changes, or that provides a platform for future developments."
Taylor adds: "It is all about the user and supporting their ability to make the best of the building. You need to educate the person who is actually going to run the building. We find we are changing controls strategies to make it work, and we do bring in experts to help us achieve that."
Darren Peel
The issue of delivering smart technology into a building is a particular challenge which is compounded by the fast-moving nature of the sector. And with more manufacturers adding 'intelligence' to building services equipment, it is vital for installers to stay on top of developments.
Nathan Wood, chair of BESA's Health & Wellbeing Group and managing director of Farmwood Mechanical and Electrical Services says: "The contractors don't always understand what is being installed. It is vital that we all sit down and have a conversation to ensure that all the dots are connected. Otherwise, you end up going around and around in circles with people blaming each other's kit for problems."
Guy Willis-Robb agrees: "We write into our specifications that everyone works together to make sure it all interoperates. It's the only way to properly deliver a BMS."
Terry Sharp
All agreed that training and sharing knowledge are vital to ensure that the industry (and its customers) can make the most of smart, connected building services equipment. And this applies at all levels of the industry.
Willis-Robb says: "There are very few people capable of writing a good controls package. Lots of manufacturers want to hand over the kit and leave you to sort it out because they don't have the expertise to make it a 'connected' building."
Wood adds that manufacturers need to lean in to help installers deliver better outcomes: "There are manufacturers jumping on the smart bandwagon. Do we really need an app to boost your fan when you're sitting on the toilet? Let's focus on delivering real benefits like cutting down on installation time and delivering energy savings."
Kent adds: "We are making our WISE system as easy as possible to install with wireless technology, so you can quickly install and commission a commercial building. To deliver, you need skilled people who understand the HVAC elements, and what they need to do to connect all of that together."
Reanna Taylor
Darren Peel concurs: "You certainly need to have an understanding of the whole building when commissioning a system like WISE. You must be able to ensure that all the HVAC systems interoperate. That's why we work so closely with many parties throughout the project, partnering right from the beginning. We then send our own engineers to support the commissioning stage to ensure it is optimised for the needs of occupants and building owners."
Wood adds that support from manufacturers is very important: "We do need more manufacturers to train the installers. We are seeing this with ventilation and MVHRs which are being installed widely, but people don't really know what they are doing."
Taylor agrees that this sort of know-how is vital: "NG Bailey has its own specification, and when we decide on a particular type of equipment, then the manufacturer will come and train every single engineer who will be working with their system. We have to have the right training to make sure we know what we are doing."
Guy Willis-Robb
Kent adds that as manufacturers, they see this role as an important part of their service: "We send out our technical salespeople to help installers. This is particularly true with equipment such as fire dampers and controls which are life-critical in buildings."
As buildings and the equipment in them move to new levels of performance and connectivity, engineers and installers have to attain new skills. "It's not simply a case of a lack of skills," says Taylor. "It's the fact that the skills we need in the industry are changing as the IT progresses. Lots of people who have been in the industry for years have a lot of skills, but not necessarily the right ones for some of the things they are coming across on today's projects."
Belfield agrees: "At InTandem we are now employing IT engineers and training them in the HVAC side, which is not something I thought we would ever do. But that is where new technology is taking us and it is very positive in the transition from traditional BMS to smart buildings."
Nathan Wood
There is no doubt that systems like Swegon's WISE are an opportunity and a challenge for the construction industry. A few years ago, having a system that could adapt the indoor climate of an entire commercial building based on real time occupant demands, monitor system maintenance and minimise energy consumption without comprising the quality of the indoor environment was extremely complex to design and deliver.
The world of tomorrow is already here, but the industry needs to adjust to the new reality with a more open approach to sharing information, educating building owners and occupiers – and training engineers and installers. In future, a 'smart building' may not be defined so much by the technology in it, as in the way it is designed, constructed and operated.

Macroscopische schaal is een in de natuurwetenschappen gehanteerde term om fysieke objecten te beschrijven die met het blote oog waarneembaar zijn. In de praktijk omvat dit alles wat langer is dan een millimeter. De klassieke mechanica is een onderdeel van de natuurkunde dat zich hoofdzakelijk bezighoudt met verschijnselen die zich op macroscopische schaal afspelen.

Alles korter dan een millimeter behoort tot het onderzoeksgebied van de microscopie, in de natuurkunde zijn dat de vakgebieden van de micro-natuurkunde en de statistische natuurkunde. De structuur van een en hetzelfde object kan vaak zowel op macroscopische als op microscopische schaal beschreven worden. Bij verder doortrekken van de microscopische schaal komt men uiteindelijk uit op het niveau van moleculen (bestudeerd in de molecuulfysica) en atomen (bestudeerd in de atoomfysica en de kristallografie).

In de biologie is onderzoek op macroscopische schaal het domein van de morfologie en de anatomie. Microscopisch biologisch onderzoek vindt plaats in de celbiologie, de microbiologie en de biochemische kristallografie.

Een natuurkundig grensgeval tussen macro- en microscopie wordt gevormd door het bose-einsteincondensaat: bij temperaturen die zijn teruggebracht tot vlak bij het absolute nulpunt, worden kwantummechanische verschijnselen met het blote oog zichtbaar die normaal gesproken alleen op microscopisch niveau zijn waar te nemen.

MLB Futures – American League West
Will Astros Run Away with Division?
pmroczkaLast Updated: April 19, 2020
Our AL West futures pick for 2020 wonders how Houston will be affected by the sign-stealing scandal? This AL West futures pick notes that the odds makers certainly like the Houston Astros above all other teams. They're at 4/11 odds to win the West. But, you never know how this team will be affected by all of the bad press and bad vibes it has generated. If you're looking for other contenders in the AL West, then consider the Oakland A's and Los Angeles Angels. The Athletics are at 9/2 and the Angels come in at 6/1. After that, it's the Texas Rangers at 20/1. They are definitely a longshot. However, at 300/1, the Seattle Mariners are the biggest underdog in the division.
AL West Futures Pick – Teams
Like the AL East the West could very easily be dominated by one very strong team. That team is the Houston Astros. But, in order to win the division, you have to plays 162 games, or fewer in a shortened season. Still when it comes down to our AL West futures pick for first in the division, we have to consider the long road that defines MLB's season.
The Astros do have some issues. It starts with the loss of Gerit Cole, With Cole, the starting rotation loses some of its punch. And although Justin Verlander and Zack Greinike both seem to have discovered the Fountain of Youth, you have to wonder if this is the season that age catches up to them? Also, the bullpen has various question marks and lacks depth. The team brings some fine hitters to the plate including 2019 AL Rookie of the Year Yordan Alvarez. Still, this team is more vulnerable than they've been in years.
With their offense, the Angels certainly could be contenders in 2020. Los Angeles sends Mike Trout, Anthony Rendon, and Shohei Ohtani to bat one right after the other. Although manager Joe Maddon has few worries when it comes to offense, he does have big challenges when it comes to his starting rotation. There are major question marks concerning the health of this group and their durability. Time will tell. However, if they can perform well, the Angels will be in the mix
The A's also have a shot at the top or second spot in the division. You've got to love this team's infield when it comes to defense and offense. Matt Olson is at the right corner and Matt Chapman in the left, while Franklin Barreto holds second and Marcus Semien short, Lefty Jesus Luzardo joins the rotation. The highly touted rookie could be a major difference-maker. However, durability is an issue.
Seattle comes into this season in rebuilding mode. Still, they have a load of guys with potential, including shortstop J.P. Crawford, first baseman Evan White, left fielder and Kyle Lewis. The starting rotation, which includes three lefties, is headed by Marco Gonzales. After Gonzales, the rotation gets sketchy. They should be a bit better than they were last season, but the Mariners lack the experience and depth to go deep into the season.
The Rangers are hoping that ace Corey Kluber can bring it this season. After Kluber, there's some promising talent amongst the starters and a potentially dominant closer in Jose Leclerc. Still, the Rangers need at least one more dominant starter and some new talent in the batting order. They look better than the Mariners but not better than any other team in the AL West.
AL West Futures Pick – Intangibles, Variables & Other Factors
As we noted, Houston has some weakness on the mounds, and they may also possess some bad karma associated with various misdeeds over the past few seasons. Plus, there are two good teams with which the 'Stros will have to deal. The big challenge for the Angels and Athletics concerns their pitching. If either can weave together a sound and healthy group of starters, they could steal the AL West. We expect both team to bring top-notch hitters to the plate.
Final Word – AL West Futures Pick
It's just about impossible in our AL West futures pick to go with anyone else but the Houston Astros. They've dominated the division for years and could do so again in 2020. However, as noted above, the Astros starting rotation is not what it used to be. Plus, two teams have a decent shot at staying close enough to Houston to contend for first place throughout the season. Still, we're picking the Astros to win the AL West.

Home » Entertainment » MSNBC's Chuck Todd & Wife Controversy! Something To Rift Them Apart?
American journalist Chuck Todd never stopped making headlines after confidential pieces of information relating his wife to the Democratic Party was revealed.
The 46-year-old Miami native is best known for being the host of MSNBC The Daily Rundown. At MSNBC, he was Chief White House correspondent before moving to NBC's Meet the Press.
Chuck hosts MTP Daily on MSNBC and is the 12th current moderator of NBC's Meet the Press. Besides Meet the Press, he's also an on-air political analyst for NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt and Today.
Chuck exposes the 45th President Of The United States, Donald Trump on an episode of MSNBC show, Meet the Press which was aired on June 17, 2018.
Before he rose to prominence as a liberal political analyst, the Meet the Press host gained political experience on initiative campaigns and campaigned for Senator Harkin in the 1992 presidential election.
After college, he joined National Journal's The Hotline in 1992. While at The Hotline, he worked his way up the network's hierarchy and served as its editor-in-chief for more than half a decade.
Tim Russert, then NBC vice president brought The Hotline along with Chuck to NBC in March 2007 and immediately handed him the Network's political director. As a part of his new role, he became a recurring on-air political analyst, appearing on Morning Joe, The Rachel Maddow Show and also blogged for MSNBC.com at First Read.
Following Tim's footsteps, in December 2008, he succeeded David Gregory as the host of NBC's Meet the Press while still retaining his title as Political Director.
A year later, on 11 January 2010, he began hosting The Daily Rundown on MSNBC alongside Savannah Guthrie. After staying at the helm of The Rundown as he hosts for a year and a half, NBC declared that he would be the new host of Meet the Press.
However, he would make a return to MSNBC on 23 July 2015 with MTP Daily -- an extension of Meet The Press.
What Is NBC's Chuck Todd's Net Worth & Salary In 2018?
For all his effort, the political reporter is paid in $750 thousand in salary by NBC and its sister network, MSNBC. His salary as a political analyst has helped him amass a huge net worth.
He has a reported net worth of 2 million dollars as of 2018.
As the Miami native began churning one memorable episode after another, the fans of Meet the Press began to notice his weight loss.
In a twitter exchange with media personality, Ronald Martin in September 2014, he revealed exercising daily behind his 25lb weight loss.
Standing at 5 feet 10 inches height, Chuck had weighed 200 pounds in the summer of 2013. He would later tell Runnersworld called it the most unhealthy he'd ever felt.
Chuck was born on April 8, 1972, in Miami and Florida and was raised a Jewish. After graduating from Miami Killian Senior High School, he enrolled in George Washington University but never graduated. However, he was granted an honorary degree from Marymount University for his contributions.
Because he's been an outright supporter of gay rights, he has been accused of being a closeted gay.
The MSNBC political analyst, along with his wife, Kristian Denny Todd parent two children and reside in Arlington, Virginia.
His wife, Kristin is a co-founder of Maverick Strategies and Mall -- a company which provides direct mail and consulting services for progressive causes and liberal candidates. In 2006, working as the spokesperson, she helped Jim Webb win U.S. Senate campaign.
Every now and again, Chuck comes under a lot of fire for his wife's allegiance to the Democratic Party. Critics have often cited the conflict of interest accusing him of being incompetent as an impartial political analyst.
In 2012, his wife, Kristian had donated $2,500 to Tim Kaine campaign. However, Chuck didn't divulge the information while interviewing Tim for NBC. Similarly, he was accused of hiding Kristian's professional relationship with Bernie Sanders when he interviewed the latter in 2015.
What my wife does with her money is her business. Judge me on my work.
All these allegations must've put a lot of strain on his relationship with his wife. As someone who's placed at a crossroad; he finds himself having to choose between either his wife or the career.
How long before Chuck no longer desires to defend his honor because of her wife's association?

Devising new resilience for the electricity grid
Electricity grids, disrupted by the advent of renewable energies, incipient self-consumption, and the decline of conventional power stations, must devise a new approach to stability, paying special attention to data and energy storage solutions.
"Until now, electricity grids have been asked to provide enough capacity to cover peak consumption. Now we are also asking them to absorb peak generation of electricity from renewable energy sources," says Olivier Grenesche, VINCI Energies Director in charge of Omexom solutions and services, summing up the challenges now facing power grids. Grid resilience – i.e. the ability to absorb variations and avoid outages – is at risk due to changing electricity generation and consumption modes.
The expanded use of renewable energy sources, which generate electricity irregularly, depending on the weather, is a first challenge for power grids. Widely scattered production plants "form new production nodes that are connected via substations to grids that were not initially designed to handle them," says Olivier Grenesche. Grids originally transmitted electricity supplied by synchronised machines in thermal, nuclear, and hydroelectric power plants and distributed it to consumers. But an increasing number of plants generating electricity from renewable sources are connected to transmission and distribution grids that must now operate in both directions – distributing energy but also receiving it at many points. Grids must now find a way to compensate for irregular production from renewable sources.
Self-consumption, encouraged by a new legislative framework, will also be a "potentially destabilising element," says Olivier Grenesche, because "micro-grids are pockets in the networks with which they will have to interact," either to temporarily shed surplus production or to receive energy when local generation is insufficient.
"A new equilibrium to prepare the future"
The public is well aware of the need for grid resilience. For example, in winter excessive demand may potentially lead to outages. So far, the grid is "holding up". Existing infrastructure has been strengthened to ensure that it remains operational. For example, Omexom took part in building the new underground 225,000 Volt link between Lorient and Saint Brieux, the "Safety Net", to improve security of electricity supply in Brittany.
"To boost resilience going forward, an increasing volume of data and real-time data processing will be needed."
Although the grid remains balanced despite the advent of renewable energies, it is vulnerable in the long term, says Olivier Grenesche, who believes that "to prepare the future we are going to have to devise a new resilience, a new balance." Isolated grids such as the one in Corsica are already experiencing severe disruption caused, among other things, by renewable energies. "VINCI Energies is already looking at ways to solve this," he says, emphasising that the group is well placed to make progress, since it offers the full range of generation, transformation, and distribution solutions via its Omexom brand and network and data solutions via its Axians brand.
"To boost resilience going forward, an increasing volume of data and real-time data processing will be needed," says Olivier Grenesche. Big data supports fine-tuned balancing of generation and consumption, supply and demand. Another possibility would be to set up local areas within which the load would be balanced. Such local stability areas would limit transmission of electricity between regions. Lastly, the development of storage capacity is also a way to stabilise the grid. Olivier Grenesche mentions batteries as well as existing or future storage solutions, including hydroelectric dams, which are already used to store electricity. There is no cause for alarm, he says. "Grid resilience is not about to collapse. It is already being reinvented."

It really depends of what are you planing to do on your machine?
16mm rails could be to small for metal milling but I think it'll be suitable for wood plastic and probably soft metals.
Yes I now 16 mm rails are not too much but they are fully suported. They flex too?
What do you refer ?
the machines that have two motors in the same axis, and move the rest of axis.
No I do not think that they are flexible, they should be enough for wood and aluminum.
Yes, but it's not necessary to put two motors there, you can drive both ballscrews with one motor.
If your rails are placed far away from each other and ballscrew is in the middle probably you'll be able to move one side of the axis while other will be fixed. Anyway I've seen a lot of machines that uses this scheme... So it can be fine .
Do you know a link to see some pictures?
At this moment I only seeing different options, But for metals I think the better option in a put step motors to a milling machine.
This last one link is your CNC Desktop machine?

Overgrown Shrine Map (War for the Atlas) is a map area.
The first half of the map is based on The Chamber of Sins from both Acts 2 and 7. Halfway through the map, there is a portal down a flight of stairs that teleports the player to a linear layout similar to Maligaro's Misery in The Rotting Core in Act 9. The boss arena is at the end of this layout.
At low life, Maligaro will disappear into the ground, and 6 more Maligaro's will spawn at low life, performing the same attacks. After the 6th Maligaro has spawned, the real one will re-appear and continue to fight you.

Have Rhodes, get quick PhD
In the mid-1970s, the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship, the program that gives US recipients the chance to study at Oxford for two to three years, included just one or two future scientists per year, out of 32 awardees.

In the mid-1970s, the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship, the program that gives US recipients the chance to study at Oxford for two to three years, included just one or two future scientists per year, out of 32 awardees. Now that the Rhodes no longer sees training government leaders as its only mission, as many as a third of each year's class are chosen from science applicants; this year's class, announced last November, includes seven from the sciences.
That number may increase, now that the National Institutes of Health and the Rhodes Trust at Oxford University have teamed up to allow Rhodes Scholars to earn a doctorate in biomedical sciences in half the time it would take them in the United States. The NIH will fund American Rhodes recipients studying at Oxford to earn jointly monitored PhDs, spending half their time at Oxford and half the time on the NIH campus in...

Ali Ardashir Larijani , né le  à Najaf (Irak), est un homme politique iranien. Il est président de l'Assemblée consultative islamique d'Iran de 2008 à 2020.

Biographie

Famille
Ali Larijani est le fils de l'ayatollah Hashem Amoli et le frère de Sadeq Larijani, un clerc, membre du Conseil des gardiens, chef du système judiciaire iranien et président du Conseil de discernement de l'intérêt supérieur du régime depuis 2019, de  et , attaché culturel iranien à Ottawa. Il est aussi le gendre de l'ayatollah Morteza Motahhari et un cousin d'Ahmad Tavakkoli.

Études
Ali Larijani est titulaire d'un doctorat et d'un master en philosophie occidentale de l'université de Téhéran et a obtenu son baccalauréat universitaire en informatique et en mathématiques avec la mention summa cum laude à l'université de technologie de Sharif.

Carrière politique

Débuts
En 1992, Ali Larijani est nommé ministre de la Culture et de l'Orientation islamique sous le président Rafsandjani, succédant à Mohammad Khatami qui était démissionnaire.

Entre 1994 et 2004, il dirige l'Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), l'agence de radio-télévision publique, sur nomination du Guide suprême.

Candidat à l'élection présidentielle de 2005
Larijani est candidat à la présidence lors de l'élection présidentielle de 2005. Il se classe sixième, avec 5,83 % des votes.

Larijani est considéré comme le candidat le plus important de l'alliance des conservateurs pour l'élection présidentielle de 2005. Il est soutenu par la Société islamique des ingénieurs, entre autres groupes conservateurs et est désigné comme le choix final du Conseil pour la coordination des forces de la Révolution , qui est composé de représentants de partis et organisations conservatrices influentes. Cependant, il est le moins populaire des trois candidats conservateurs, les autres étant Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ( à l'issue du premier tour) et Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf ( à l'issue du premier tour).

I know that I have been a selfish fool. I am so full of disgust for my behavior ...more so over the past 24 hours but definitely during the past month.
I'm so sorry for everything that has happened in my life that has affected you and the rest of my family so negatively. I don't like it and I am in misery over the misery that I have caused you and Donna.
I feel so ashamed and mortified for everything that has happened in my life since this time last year. Yesterday was one of the most humiliating days of my life. I had to repeat only part as a sequence of events that brought me to applying for another job. What a pitiful life I have gotten myself into.
I know as well as I know my name, that when I get feeling sorry for myself for feeling so miserable in my failures, that I cannot face those that are be closest to me due to sheer embarrassment.
Dad, you have asked me time and time again not to pull away and to talk with you when I am struggling. Up until yesterday I felt like I could do that but for some reason yesterday was particularly hard for me to drive my car home.
I am NOT going to even try to make excuses for not even calling but as every hour passed it became more impossible. I want you both to know that above and beyond my miserable depressions, I do recognize and appreciate and love you for every single little thing you both have done to make this more tolerable for me.
Neither one of you have judged me. Neither one of you has made me feel this way, I am responsible for where those feelings come from. I did get everything and more done yesterday that I needed to do. Some things on a positive note and some others not quite so much.
I will be in Griffin much of the morning and then in Barnesville. I did get your phone, Donna. I will bring it to you asap.
I love you both very very much and do not know what I would do without you. It is my plan to either get help or work very hard on this character flaw that just pushes people away from me. I hope you can forgive me and that maybe didn't worry quite so much yesterday and last night. It is a cowardly thing to write all of this instead of calling you but I am very thankful that I have this form of communication Facing you would be too difficult right now.
With love to you both.

AARP Lauds Reauthorization of Older Americans Act
By Joyce Rogers, April 08, 2016 11:09 AM
AARP applauds Congress for passing the long-awaited bipartisan legislation reauthorizing the Older Americans Act (OAA) after the Senate passed the House-amended bill on April 7. Last month, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an amended version of S. 192, legislation that passed unanimously in the Senate in July 2015.
AARP Calls on U.S. House to Reauthorize the Older Americans Act
By Joyce Rogers, March 08, 2016 05:25 PM
The Older Americans Act (OAA) is the law that since 1965 has provided a variety of essential programs and services to our most vulnerable older Americans, including Meals on Wheels, access to abuse prevention services, transportation assistance, and support for family caregivers. OAA programs save taxpayers money by reducing unnecessary hospital readmissions, and help older Americans stay in their homes and communities, where they want to be.

Q: Query and algorithms using firestore db? I am currently trying to figure out how to match and/or compare data in firestore database. Lets say I have 10 apples. My apple has the color red. I want to be able to compare my color to the other 10 apples and then match only with the ones who has the color red (there are 2 apples with the color red). How can I achieve this while using firestore database as the main database for all apples?
Firebase Db looks something like this:

apple1 is red and should match with apple5. The rest are different colors. When the user press the search button, it should filter the firestore Db and only match with the adequate respons (in this case apple5 which is also red) How can I achieve this? Do I need to use a third party library to create this algorithm or can it be done in kotlin since it is to my understanding that some features does not work with firestore Db? Appreciate any feedback!

A: That's a pretty straightforward query, 'fetch documents where the value of field color is red'. Try:
db.collection("apples")
        .whereEqualTo("color", "red")
        .get()
        .addOnSuccessListener { documents ->
            for (document in documents) {
                Log.d(TAG, "${document.id} => ${document.data}")
            }
        }
        .addOnFailureListener { exception ->
            Log.w(TAG, "Error getting documents: ", exception)
        }

Checkout the documentation for more query examples that Firestore supports.

A: Basically, you can use Queries to match a certain condition and get all documents.
For your case, you can use the following code snippet to get the data based on color
try {
AsyncSnapshot<QuerySnapshot> data = firestore.collection("hubs")
                                    .where("color", isEqualTo: "red")
                                    .get();
final docs = data.data!.docs;

docs.forEach((e)=>{
    //each firestore document
});
}
