Ford has set themselves an ambitious goal to achieve 15 best-in-class fuel economy by the end of this year.Launching new petrol and diesel powertrains and Ford ECOnetic Technologies are named as key enablers to accomplish that goal.
By the end of 2012, Ford of Europe also will have one of the largest portfolios of cars in the industry with CO2 emissions of under 100g/km, including six Fiesta models (three diesel, three petrol) and two Focus diesel models. Ford also will launch its first ever all-electric, zero-emission passenger vehicle this year – the Focus Electric. Half of new Ford cars will carry the ECOnetic Technology badge by the end of this year, which means they are leaders or among the very best in fuel efficiency in their segment.
That's all great. But Ford must be careful not to overlook other factors in their quest to make fuel efficient car. If you make a bad car that's only light on fuel, nobody's going to buy it.
Ford's 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine, recently named winner of the "International Engine of the Year" award, is the driving force behind nine of the 15 new models with class-leading fuel efficiency.
The already available best-in-class 100PS and 125PS versions of Focus 1.0-litre EcoBoost, with CO2 of 109g/km and 114g/km respectively, will soon be joined two models of all-new B-MAX and four models of C-MAX and Grand C-MAX**.
Ford's new ST performance cars will also deliver leading fuel efficiency in its class with EcoBoost engines, which leverage turbocharging and direct injection. Focus ST, on sale later this summer, will produce 250PS from a 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine, but emit just 169g/km CO2.
Ford TDCi diesel engines will also help Ford's commercial vehicles, the Transit and the Ranger, offer unsurpassed levels of efficiency and emissions, including the 1-tonne and passenger bus versions of new Transit out-performing their rivals, emitting just 174g/km and 168g/km of CO2 respectively.
A 1.6-litre TDCi engine has already helped the Focus ECOnetic Technology to be Ford's most fuel-efficient ever Focus, with best-in-class figures of 88g/km of CO2 and 3.4l/100km (83.1mpg). That utilizes the full range of Ford ECOnetic Technologies, including Auto-Start-Stop, Smart Regenerative Charging, Active Grille Shutter, Eco Mode, shift indicator light, and optimised gear ratios. Lower suspension, wheel deflectors and low-rolling resistance tyres reduce driving resistances.
It also features a special catalytic converter called a lean NOx trap to help reduce CO2 emissions by facilitating a leaner combustion process using a higher proportion of air to fuel. Special undershields for optimal aerodynamics and a water-cooled charge air cooler add further efficiencies.
The increasing use of Ford ECOnetic Technologies and continuing success of Ford's EcoBoost and diesel engines has put the company firmly on track to achieving its fuel efficiency and CO2 emission targets in the coming years.
Plus further 2 Ford Fiesta variants available from Q4 2012.

Going green around the house is easier than you might think.
and tips that I have found and have been using for over 24 years.
As you can see from this picture I use a variety of products to clean around my house. Some you can buy at your local grocery store. But, others you have to buy online from the maker's website.
Let's start by going from left to right in the picture.
Click on the website name to shop directly for these products.
Shaklee is my long time favorite company for non-toxic cleaning products that get the job done without killing your lungs. I started with them 24 years ago and would not use anything else for my everyday cleaning needs.
The Basic-H is there household cleaner. The Basic-G is a germicide. It will kill any kind of bacteria it comes in contact with. Be sure to wear gloves when using these kinds of strong cleaners, even the safe ones.
Mrs. Meyer's is my laundry soap champion. I love the lemon scented one. It does not bother my allergies. I get it delivered to my door with free shipping and at a discount using my Grove Collaborative membership.
They come in these pretty colors and each color does a different job. Purple is for windows and mirrors. Pink is for all purpose. Green is for anti-bacterial cleaning all over the house.
You only use water to clean with the green and pink one. The purple one you use dry like a polisher. You will never go back to vinegar again to clean windows and mirrors after you've cleaned with these babies. Giggle!
When I clean with the vinegar I use a combination of dish soap and warm water. 1/4 cup vinegar, 3 cups warm water, 1 teaspoon dish soap and mix well.
To clean the grout on tile floors I use a mixture of lemon juice, vinegar, baking soda and dish soap. Let it set for 5 to 10 minutes. Scrub with a brush and the wipe clean.

Climate and Georisks
This page:UHH > CEN - Center for Earth System Research and Sustainability > Research > Emerging Issues > Climate and Georisks
Climate and geo-risks include natural hazards like earthquakes, storms, flooding, heat waves, cold snaps and volcanic eruptions – but also man-made risks, such as collapsing hillsides due to erosion or water seepage, or micro-quakes caused by underground CO2 sequestration. To effectively minimize these risks, integrated research efforts are called for. In this regard, the CEN draws on its varied expertise: numerical models, observations, mathematical theories and a sound understanding of geophysical mechanisms are essential to predicting extreme events. The results of these efforts are fed into economic and geographic model studies exploring e.g. scenarios for using financial incentives to reduce the emission of climate-relevant pollutants; the outcomes are reflected in the resultant models, which are used to test their efficacy.
Coordination: Prof. Dirk Gajewski, Prof. Matthias Hort
SIMULTAN: Subrosion and instability of sinkholes . Integrated MULTi-scale monitoring and Analysis
Due to the widespread occurrence of water-soluble rocks in the shallow subsurface in Germany, sinkholes represent a significant natural hazard – also in urban areas. The project SIMULTAN aims to develop and apply an early recognition system of sinkhole instability, unrest and collapse in Germany. The project seeks to improve the physical understanding of subrosion- and sinkhole-processes on different space and time scales using multidisciplinary research methods. The aim of the project is to improve the early recognition of instability, restlessness and collapse of sinkholes by using geophysical methods. The seismic monitoring methods for urban seismic events developed in the subproject may also be useful for finding weak seismic events in other (including future) data sets with strong interfering and noisy signals (like urban geothermal projects, seismicity characterization of recent near surface tectonics or carbon capture and storage)
Duration: 2015-2018
Project Lead (Subproject 2: Seismic monitoring and characterization of sinkhole areas): Dr. Dirk Becker
Sponsor: Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF)
WIT: Wave Inversion Technology
In order to arrive at the most accurate picture possible of the Earth's interior and the related physical properties and processes, more precise methods for the evaluation of seismic reflection data are called for. The Wave Inversion Technology (WIT) consortium is working to develop techniques for the optimal imaging of underground structures and properties using waves created under controlled conditions.
Within the context of these developments, one of the consortium's aims is to train future generations of experts in the field of geophysics research. Founded in 1996, the WIT is an international project bringing together scientists from Hamburg, Karlsruhe and Campinas, Brazil and funded by companies from the energy industry.
Duration: 1996-consecutive
Project leader: Prof. Dr. Dirk Gajewski
Third party funders: various companies from the energy sector
StrucFlow: Neotectonic and fluid dynamics in the marine sector of the North German Basin
On the basis of high-resolution reflection seismic data and in cooperation with German, Swedish and Polish partner institutes the project aims to 1.) delineate the continuation of faults from bedrock to seafloor 2.) to quantify the deformation history of the Rotliegende 3.) understand the salt tectonics of the Northern German Basin; 4.) explore ice-load-induced tectonics; and 5.) investigate fluid migration from meso- to paleozoic reservoir and bedrocks to the seafloor. Hypotheses are: a) that the regional stress field and differential ice load reactivated old fault systems or gave rise to new faults in the shallow surface up to Earth surface, that b) the salt tectonic in the peripheral area of the Northern German Basin can be explained by gravitational collapse and that c) the hydrocarbon system in the study area is permeable. For public service relevant findings in the topic area of CO2-sequestration, geo-Engineering and permanent disposal are expected.

BMBF Joint Project – Detecting Gravitational Waves
Astrophysical events like the merging of two black holes produce vibrations in spacetime, referred to as gravitational waves. These phenomena can be detected using special-purpose facilities: gravitational wave observatories. Though Albert Einstein postulated the existence of gravitational waves roughly a century ago, the first experimental proof wasn't delivered until 2015. Today, researchers are already working on the third generation of observatories. That generation includes the planned Einstein Telescope, which is intended to more precisely measure the reverberations of the Big Bang and provide detailed insights into merging processes in space. To do so, the telescope will cover a frequency range from less than ten hertz to over 500 hertz, a point at which today's gravitational wave observatories reach their limits.
In this regard, Universität Hamburg's Institute of Geophysics is working to improve the telescope's sensitivity in the low-frequency range. To do so, a method is being developed to predict the gravitational coupling of seismic waves at the position of the mirror, so that this effect can be retroactively compensated for. An effect known as gravitational gradient or Newtonian noise, in which the attracting forces affecting the pendulum are influenced by movements in the surrounding area, can be predicted using a network of seismometers. The challenge lies in filtering the countless signals to find the actual source of noise. To help researchers accomplish this task, new machine learning methods are being developed and applied.
Germany's Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is supporting the joint project, led by the RWTH Aachen, with ca. three million euros of funding, spread over three years. More than half a million euros will go to three subprojects at Universität Hamburg, including one at the Institute of Geophysics.
Project duration: 2020-2023
Co-directors of the geophysics subproject: Prof. Dr. Dirk Gajewski, Prof. Dr. Celinie Hadziioannou (UHH)
Sponsor: BMBF

SUBMON: Registration and Characterization of acoustic emissions
The project SUBMON is a subproject of the project "Tomography of diffracted wave fields". Acoustic emissions of different strengths are constantly generated in the earth's subsurface. They can have tectonic causes leading to earthquakes. However, anthropogenic causes like, e.g., the injection of CO2 in storage sites, the extraction of hydrocarbons or mining and excavation can lead to such events as well. The kinematic properties of these seismic events follow the general principles of diffracted waves, which can be observed in reflection seismics. The localization of acoustic emissions in space is a crucial part of monitoring the subsurface, as geo risks and hazard potentials can be assessed. The knowledge of wave velocities in the subsurface – measured with tomographic methods – is required, to exactly localize the events.
Project Lead: Prof. Dr. Dirk Gajewski
Sponsor: Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi)
MEDSALT COST Action CA15103 : Uncovering the Mediterranean salt giant
MEDSALT aims to create a new flexible scientific network that will address the causes, timing, emplacement mechanisms, and consequences at local and global scales of the largest and most recent 'salt giant' on Earth: The late Miocene (Messinian) salt layer in the Mediterranean basin. It is a 1.5 km-thick salt layer that covered the bottom of the deep Mediterranean basins about 5.5 million years ago and is preserved beneath the deep ocean floor today. The origin of the Mediterranean salt giant is linked to an extraordinary event in the geological history of the Mediterranean region, commonly referred to as the Messinian Salinity Crisis. This inter-sectorial and multinational cooperation network will comprise a critical mass of both experienced and early-career researchers from Europe and beyond. The goal will be achieved through capacity building, researchers' mobility, skills development, knowledge exchange and scientific networking.
Project Lead (MEDSALT-AG 2): Prof. Dr. Christian Hübscher (UHH), Dr. Roger Urgeless (CSIC, Barcelona)
Sponsor: EU Framework Programme
VolcHaz: Volcanic Threads
On the one hand, volcanoes are a fascinating natural spectacle, on the other hand they shelter dangers with local, regional but also global effects. Local dangers include so-called pyroclastic flows and the case of large quantities of ash, which may also demand human lives and destroy or seriously affect the infrastructure. Regional hazards also include ashes, which can lead to respiratory diseases and also affect the infrastructure and possibly the air traffic. At global level, climatic effects play a role, e.g. when volcanic activity causes large quantities of aerosols to reach the stratosphere. However, the loss of key industries due to a volcanic eruption (for example, Mt. Rainer near Seattle, USA) may also disrupt the global economy.
In order to better protect both human lives and infrastructure from the effects of volcanic eruptions, there is a great need for research in understanding physical processes before and during volcanic eruptions. The focus is on transport processes along the last kilometer before the outbreak. Both numerical models and observations on volcanoes are used here. To capture the local and regional effects of volcanic eruptions, algorithms are being developed to better predict the transport of volcanic ash.
Project lead: Prof. Dr. Matthias Hort, Dr. Lea Scharff
Sponsor: various DFG promotions
CO2RES: Characterization of CO2 deposits using seismic methods
Germany (and other countriesfail to reach the goals defined in climate conferences to reduce CO2 emissions. Therefore, for the time being, bridging technologies must be used in order to achieve the climate goals. The sequestration of CO2 into the ground is a suitable instrument. Potential CO2 deposits must be found, probed for their reservoir properties, and evaluated for potential geo-risks. These tasks can be considered using seismic methods. For imaging of the subsurface, procedures are necessary, which display details in the subsurface with high accuracy and resolution. Such techniques are also used and developed for the exploration of raw materials. CO2RES is a subproject in the "Wave Inversion Technology Consortium".

Accolades, USANA
USANA Accolades: Creating the Best of Everything
Spring has sprung and my allergies are slowly, but aggressively trying to take me down. But just like Tony Stark, I refuse to succumb to those who want to weaken my spirits and drain me of all my energy.
Yes, I just compared myself to Iron Man and I have no shame. I'd like to think I share a plethora of other positive characteristics with the Marvel hero, but I'll keep those to myself.
Anyway, since our last pre-allergy season accolade update, I have received several exciting emails informing me of some notable accomplishments. In fact, I can gladly report that USANA has received 16 new awards for creating Utah's best supplements and some of the world's most innovative sales tools.
Best of State
USANA is no stranger to the Best of State awards, in fact, over the past 10 years we've received 25 medals and have been honored with the prestigious The Best of the Best® award as the overall winner of the merchandising and consumer services category in 2008 and 2012.
This year USANA has been honored in the "Merchandising & Consumer Services" category in four separate areas:
Dietary Supplement (10 wins since 2003)
Health/Nutrition Beverage — Rev3 Energy® (5 wins since 2009)
Health/Nutrition Product (3 wins since 2009)
Personal Care Products/Cosmetics — Sensé™ (5 wins since 2007)
The awards recognize outstanding individuals, organizations and businesses in Utah based on three criteria: achievement in the field of endeavor; innovation or creativity in approaches, techniques, methods or processes; and contribution to improving the quality of life in Utah.
Medals will be presented to all winners at the awards gala on May 11, while 10 will walk away with a 2013 Best of State Statue — the BOSS®. Fingers crossed we're one of those lucky 10!
Communicator Awards
Since 2009, USANA has earned more than 35 Communicator Awards for its big ideas in marketing and communications and creating work that transcends innovation and craft, and this year USANA was recognized nine times for the corporate rebrand, sales tools and social media strategies!

Excellence in Execution! USANA does it right, all the time, in every way. Congratulations to the entire corporate team.
Ekayani Chamberlin says:
Allie – Try taking bee pollen from your local bees to calm those allergies. They act homeopathically, will boost your immune system and will not make you sleepy like allergy medicine. Pick up a bottle at a local health food store or farmer's market. I have been using for years and do not suffer anymore. You can sprinkle in your yoghurt or add to juice/smoothie. They come in granules and have a golden color.

Premier visits Vernon to celebrate seniors
Posted on October 7, 2014 July 15, 2016 by CARP
Premier Christy Clark talks to Rita Milne at the Canadian Association of Retired Persons National Seniors Day celebration Wednesday at Sparkling Hill Resort.
No ones getting any younger, herself included, Premier Christy Clark admitted as she celebrated National Seniors Day in Vernon Wednesday.
In fact: By 2030, one in four British Columbians will be a senior, including me, said Clark as she spoke to the Canadian Association of Retired Persons Okanagan chapter at Sparkling Hill Resort.
As I age, I think differently about being a senior, differently than when I was young, said Clark, who wants to be as active as her grandmother was when she died.
The world has changed as we get older and governments, said Clark, need to be aware of these changes and be forward thinking.
Our building codes, the way we plan cities and traffic.
But she also reminded seniors that they play a key role in the future.
Seniors should not expect society to look after them unless they are looking after themselves and the ones they love, their neighbours and friends, Clark urged those attending the meeting.
And the role seniors play in society will continue through future generations.
Hearing your voice is vital, said Clark.
When we are gone and its in their hands to look after this place, heaven forbid they dont have the lessons weve passed on.
Clark also spoke about how the Okanagan Valley is a hub for people across the country, including many retirees.
As a result, the local economy based primarily on tourism, retirement and agriculture, but that has created challenges for families who are unable to live and work here.
We need to help diversity this economy, said Clark.
I would argue thats through the technology sector. This could become a hub for technology and innovation. That could attract jobs.
The provincial government announced in July a commitment to invest up to $6 million toward the development of the new state-of-the-art Okanagan Centre for Innovation.

Nokia is now officially part of Microsoft. Founded in the late 19th Century it started out making rubber and ended up making phones. In its heyday it was the biggest phone manufacturer in the world with the power to make and sell millions of phones a month. Some of its handsets sales for individual devices number over a quarter of a billion units.
Here are a handful of famous Nokia handsets that tried to change the world.
The Matrix banana phone, as it was known, was hugely popular towards the end of the last century thanks to being featured in The Matrix. Curved to sit around your face, you pressed a button that shot out the spring loaded cover to reveal the keys beneath. Who needed apps when you had a spring loaded boredom killer?
The Communicator series lasted from 1996 to 2007 and offered users a miniature laptop in their pocket. It weighed as much as a house brick, and wasn't as good as the Psion series (controversial) PDAs or the iPaq devices, but did show us what we could expect to do with our phones over the next two decades.
The classic Nokia for many, and one phone that many still have a soft spot for. The beauty of the 3210 was the size, the easy of use, and interchangeable covers.
A true workhorse, if you had one of these you had "made it" in your workplace. The phone itself wasn't anything special, however it did come with a number of features including the ability to have a message laser etched on to the phone itself to make you look even more important. Pocket-lint's Rik Henderson had "Rickyboy". You stay classy.
Selling over 250 millions units since it went on sale in 2003, many remember owning this phone. It had a monochrome 96 x 95 pixel display and a battery life that lasted almost three weeks.
You play lots of games on your phone now, but in 2003 if you wanted mobile gaming you were still using a GameBoy Advance. The N-Gage, a phone that was also a portable games console was going to change all that. Sadly it didn't.
The start of the bonkers years for Nokia, The 7600 was in the shape of a tear drop with a squarish screen in the middle and the numbers surrounding it. We remember at the time thinking it was a crazy idea and so did everyone else. So crazy that Nokia didn't make another one like it, well until 2004 with the sort of follow up; the Nokia 7610.
How far can you change the number pad on a phone before you just start confusing the hell out of every one, a lot it seems, but the more you do so the less devices you sell. The 7610 shifted the keys and introduced a confusing pattern over the top of it that nobody really understood how to use it, especially those that could predictive text without looking. Oh the skills.
Dubbed the lipstick phone the Nokia 7280 look like a lipstick, didn't have a dial pad, and relied on you having all your numbers in your contacts book. Still it looked bonkers, draw lots of attention, and showed that Nokia was keen to give you style over substance.
iPad who? Five years before the iPad was announced, Nokia had a small 3G tablet that would let you load up apps and surf the internet on the go. it will never catch on. Well it didn't. It would take the company another 8 years to launch a tablet.
At the time of its launch it was a breakthrough in what phones could do. It had a great camera, GPS, music, everything almost. Its only trouble was, from the time it was announced to the time you could buy it, Apple announced the first iPhone.
The start of a new era, Nokia announced the Lumia 800 and its shift to Windows Phone. Numerous Windows Phone devices would follow and with it, the courting of Microsoft began.
The end of an era, bogged down in development for almost 6 years, Nokia although shifted to support Windows Phone still launched the 41 megapixel 808 Pureview to show was was possible. The sensor offered you the best camera on a phone that there has ever been on an OS on its last legs. The technology did find its way into the Lumia 1020 that came out a year later.


Air passengers passing through Marconi Airport will soon be 'flying' through some security controls by using their biometric passports – which have already been installed in many other European airports. The new border controls to be installed with automated-gates mean travellers will literally go through in seconds rather than minutes or hours, as it often seems during the busy holiday periods.
This is all down to the self-servicing technology called Sita, for European Union members with biometric passports and a facial recognition system. The news came on a day when over 10 thousand people passed through Marconi. Many passengers were said to be enthusiastic this potential reduction of waiting times.
In practice, the biometric technology when scanned at the e-gate will confirm that the passenger is the owner of the passport, recognize his/her identity and validity of the document. If the protocols are cleared said passenger would be permitted into the country, therefore allowing their smooth transit through the airport. In case any doubt further security requirements will be required meaning a face to face recognition and possibly fingerprint examination.

The Return of the King by J. R. R. Tolkien: Book Review
By just_tommye	in Fantasy	on 09/04/2020 30/12/2020
SPOILER FREE
-possible spoilers for The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers-
The Return of the King by J. R. R. Tolkien is one of the most satisfying and epic conclusions to a fantasy series. The plot splits off even more than in The Two Towers, so there are more arcs and characters to follow, and even more of the world to experience and explore.
Gandalf and Pippin's storyline in The Return of the King is one of my favourites. Denethor – the Steward of Gondor – is an incredible character – he's incredibly loyal to the world of men, but he's broken and that is his greatest flaw.
I was surprised by how much I respected him, even with the events that occur. Pippin, however, manages to surpass all expectations and develops into a real heroic character through the threats that he faces.
Merry, like Perrin, also develops very quickly into an unlikely heroic character. Tolkien seemed to want his heroes to be the little guys who were full of honesty, love, and loyalty. The hobbits often surpass even Aragorn in their bravery and heroic accomplishments.
Despite Aragorn being such a strong character in the previous two books, the first third of his arc in The Return of the King was almost a disappointment in comparison.
His victory felt cheap, but he soon redeemed himself in the final third. Again, I do believe that this was supposed to be the case, with the hobbits becoming the more heroic characters. His actions after the battle at Minas Tirith really did do an incredible job of showing that he deserves the respect, loyalty, and love of his people.
Sam and Frodo's final journey is surprisingly character driven. The plot might be driven by the events of the world around them, but it is their character arcs which make their scenes feel so real.
Frodo struggles against the power of the ring, and Sam's loyalty to Frodo – as well as his resistance to the ring – is a remarkable work of characterisation. Their story is one of strong friendship and love – something that I feel that many books could continue to learn from.
The finale goodbyes are surprisingly emotional, but the way Tolkien wraps up every arc in The Return of the King in a satisfying conclusion is wonderful. It may not feel as realistic as some more modern fantasy, but because of the style this book is written in, it feels right.
To have it done any other way would feel jarring – this is a heroic story of epic proportions, so it's just right when our heroes find the peace they deserve.
(Possible) SPOILER SECTION – No spoilers for this review – I might come back to it in the future, or possibly start writing some discussion posts on the plots, books and characters of the series.

Pingback: Ranking the Cosmere Books – The Fantasy Review


One of my favorite quotes is this one by Ralph Waldo Emerson, 'What lies behind us and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us'. We live in a world that places immense importance on outer appearances. We evaluate people by their outsides, by their jobs and their achievements, by the schools their children go to and their afterschool activities, by the clothes they wear and the brands they flaunt, by their homes and the areas they live in, and the list goes on and on. Good people lose their value and the strength of our characters loses its worth, because what we own, the image of ourselves that we show to the world, matters so much more.
When in fact, that is what we need to focus on, instead of striving for the next thing on our list, we need to spend at least as much time on our insides, on being better every single day, on learning from our mistakes, owning up our faults, and just improving our insides. The fact that none of this matters once we die, our worldly things and statuses. None of it. The only thing that will matter will be the kind of people we were. Not saying that our things and our achievements don't mean anything, of course we all want a comfortable life but the problem is this never ending race that always shows us there is more to buy and more to achieve. It is just never ending. There is more to us than just our things and our achievements.
As Muslims also sometimes we are so focused on showing others how religious we are, on focusing on rituals and yet forgetting the core of our faith, which is to purify our hearts, to becoming better human beings, to learn from our mistakes and correcting them. Yet we are witnesses of the lies/corruption/fraud/injustice that happens in our own 'Muslim' country. I'll only talk of Pakistan as that is what I know. And this when our religion teaches us that Allah does not look at our outsides but at our heart and our intentions. That in front of Him we are all equal and only better than each other by our deeds.
As a start, let's look at ourselves past all the layers we show to the world, what our values are, what we believe in, what we've learned in life, the mistakes we've made. Let's ask ourselves if we live our lives in a way that projects these values. And then everyday wake up with the promise to be better, better than your own self. Better than who you were yesterday. And make this your life long quest. As parents, each one of us has the added responsibility to give GOOD kids that will grow up to be GOOD adults, to the world. Let's give, if not more, as much importance to our kids insides as we give to their achievements.
This is so beautiful nataltia and so true. Loved every bit of it!! May God give us the courage to follow it in spirit.
Great insight. I will try to live myday like this.


According to police, the incident happened on Tuesday and came to light after a video of the act surfaced on social media.
A case has been lodged against three people in Rajasthan's Bikaner district for allegedly stripping four minor boys and making them work in a field, police said Thursday. According to police, the incident happened on Tuesday and came to light after a video of the act surfaced on social media.

MIMOSA (Microaccelerometric Measurements Of Satellite Acceleration) cseh tudományos mikroműhold.

Küldetés
Miniatürizált gyorsulásmérővel (legfőbb műszer) is ellátott űreszköz, műszereinek tesztelése mikrogravitációs körülmények között. A program keretében az orosz államadósság is rendezésre került.

2003. június 30-án a Pleszeck űrrepülőtérről, az LC–133/3 (LC–Launch Complex) jelű indítóállványról egy Rokot/Briz-KM (SS–19, MOM–1, LAP–1) hordozórakétával állították alacsony Föld körüli pályára (LEO = Low-Earth Orbit). Az orbitális pályája  perces,  fokos hajlásszögű, elliptikus pálya perigeuma  kilométer, az apogeuma  kilométer volt.

2011. december 11-én 3086 nap ( év) után belépett a légkörbe és megsemmisült.

Jellemzői
Gyártotta a Cseh Tudományos Akadémia Intézete, üzemeltette a Cseh Csillagászati Intézet. Társműholdak, egyszerre kilenc műholdat állítottak pályára: Monitor–E GVM (orosz); DTUSat–1 (dán); MOST (kanadai); CUTE–1 (japán); QuakeSat (amerikai); AAU CubeSat (dán); CanX-1 (kanadai); Cubesat XI–4 (japán).

Megnevezései: COSPAR: 2003-031B; Kódszáma: 27841.

Forgásstabilizált űreszköz. Méretei: 560x560x570 mm, teljes tömege , műszerezettségének tömege  kilogramm. Tervezett szolgálati idő 18 hónap. A társ űreszközök elhelyezésénél a lehető legközelebb a súlyponthoz illesztették. A műhold "lelke" a cseh mérnökök által kifejlesztett MAC–3 (Macek) mikro-gyorsulásmérő. Műszere a műholdra ható, nem gravitációs eredetű erőhatásokat kutatta 1600 kilométeres magasságig. Egy fő és egy tartalék számítógép vezérelte a programot. Telemetriai adatok áramlását két antennával segítették. Az űreszköz felületét napelemek borították (24 W), éjszakai (földárnyék) energiaellátását újratölthető lítiumion-akkumulátorok biztosították (8 Ah).

11 June 2008 - New Law is voted and approved by the Turkish Parliament this afternoon.
The draft law is voted and approved by the parliament this afternoon.
The new law will now be submitted to the President for ratification and according to the Turkish Constitution, the President will ratify it within fifteen days - provided that he does not use his authority to veto the law. We do not expect at all the veto would be the case under current circumstances.
The last phase for the adoption of the new law would be its publication in the Official Gazette shortly after the approval of the president. The Ministry of Public Works and Settlement is expected to publish a new circular letter after the law is published in the official gazette in order to enable the execution of the law.
We will keep you updated with the latest news.
14 July 2008 - Turkey overtakes Spain as most popular holiday destination.
01 June 2008 - Turkish legislation for Foreign Nationals buying property in Turkey.

I've got a couple of discoveries to share that might help you control which photos end Jo in your iPad when syncing from Aperture 3.
I wanted to be able to sync and have an event or album for each project, which is generally an event in my library. However, i don't want every single photo I've saved from each event. Syncing a smart album that collects my good photos (4+ stars) meant all my photos were in one big bucket.
However, after playing around, I found that rejected photos don't get synced, and more interestingly, only the pick from stacks get synced.

Admissions: Frequently Asked Questions
Have Questions About Our Admissions Lottery?
All questions relating to the Admissions Lottery should be directed to the New West Admissions Hotline at 310.384.8676 or via email.
What type of family applies to New West?
New West is for families who seek a choice in public schools for their children. Founded by parents as a community-based effort at school reform, New West is for families seeking to remain actively involved in their children's education beyond the elementary school years. New West even has a Home School Agreement that recommends such involvement, including 16 hours of volunteer service per family per year. New West families share the school's high expectations and high accountability for academic performance and character development of children.
Does it make any difference where my child lives?
No. New West students come from all over Los Angeles. You may apply no matter where you live or which school your child attends.
How many spaces for new students are available at each grade level?
The exact amount of students we admit to each grade level is different every year and is contingent on how many students return and how many "preference" students apply. We hope that all interested families attend one of our Open House presentations and decide to apply.
What happens if there are more applicants than spaces available?
New West expects to have more students applying than there is space at the school. In such a case, a random drawing/lottery determines which applicants are admitted. This public lottery includes all prospective students who complete their applications before the application deadline. Attendance at the lottery is optional. Applicants not admitted at first through the lottery have their names placed on a waitlist in the order drawn during the lottery. New West notifies waitlisted applicants immediately as space becomes available.
What happens to late applications?
Complete applications received after the application deadline are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The names of late applicants are put at the bottom of the waitlist in the order applications are received.

Win a Copy of SIGH, GONE by Phuc Tran!
This giveaway is sponsored by Flatiron Books, publisher of Sigh, Gone by Phuc Tran.
Appealing to fans of coming-of-age memoirs such as Fresh Off the Boat, Running with Scissors, or tales of assimilation like Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Displaced and The Refugees, Sigh, Gone explores one man's bewildering experiences of abuse, racism, and tragedy and reveals redemption and connection in books and punk rock. Against the hairspray-and-synthesizer backdrop of the '80s, he finds solace and kinship in the wisdom of classic literature, and in the subculture of punk rock, he finds affirmation and echoes of his disaffection. In his journey for self-discovery Tran ultimately finds refuge and inspiration in the art that shapes—and ultimately saves—him.
We're giving away five copies of Sigh, Gone by Phuc Tran to five lucky Riot readers! This sweepstakes is open to residents of the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and all other US territories). Entries will be accepted until 11:45pm, 28th April 2020. Winner will be randomly selected. Complete rules and eligibility requirements available here.

Q: Mac Notarization How to staple pkg file Issue : Mac stapling of pkg file fails with invalid file format.
I have prepared the Mac .pkg file for installation. I'm notarising this pkg file. It working fine.
Now i would like to staple the this pkg file. It fails with error Invalid file format.
xcrun stapler staple my.pkg

Any input on how to staple this pkg file ?
Tried to staple with command scrub stapler staple my.pkg

A: You must wait until the notarization is complete before stapling. You can do that either by watching your email, or you can automate it in a makefile. Here's one way to automate the wait.
myRequestID=$(shell xcrun altool \
      --notarize-app \
      --primary-bundle-id $(BUNDLE_ID) \
      --username $(DEV_USERNAME) \
      --password $(DEV_PASSWORD) \
      --asc-provider $(DEV_PROVIDER) \
      --file my.pkg; \
\
while ! xcrun altool \
      --notarization-info $$myRequestID \
      --username $(DEV_USERNAME) \
      --password $(DEV_PASSWORD) \
      --asc-provider $(DEV_PROVIDER) \
      --output-format xml \
  | grep -q 'https://osxapps-ssl.itunes.apple.com/itunes-assets' ;\
  do sleep 5 ;\
  echo "." ;\
done ;\

After waiting, you can staple.
xcrun stapler staple my.pkg

If this is still failing then it's a different issue. My first hunch would be that some component of the package is itself not signed and notarized. You need to notarize everything from the inside out.
You want to follow Apple's notarization instructions, but pass the installer package to the --file argument.

Being Part Three. Finding your Why!
It is the questions that you ask which are more important than the answers!
This one question lead me to develop my purpose. People often talk about finding your purpose but I instinctively know you never lose your purpose, it is buried deep within you. Your purpose is an intrinsic part of your being. However I know most of us are never taught how to develop it. Indeed developing your purpose, I have discovered leads you to a more authentic way of being.
This way of being, I never imagined but has lead me to experience sustained joy in my life. This joy is not momentary or temporary but sustained.
Strange I know, because the question what do I want, sounds selfish, egotistical even. I can hear some of you reading this feeling disgusted. How dare I ask what I want when the vast majority of people do not have what they need! It even sounds greedy.
However the one question made me wipe the fog in front of me and provided me with a clarity of vision.
Not only vision but I can hear, feel, smell, taste and touch the way I want to be in the future, I know the past cannot be changed though and so I am learning to let go of the previous way I was and the unhealthy ways of being and the ways of being that no longer serve me. This letting go is not easy but fundamental and really starts by forgiving myself.
Can you allow yourself to ask what do you really want?
This one question has provided me with direction for the destination I am heading for.
And when I let myself experience the destination and experience the future as the present, that is sheer heaven.
This question unravelled so many different other questions. It is a question most people are afraid to ask. Most of us ask: What do I want to do? What do others expect of me? Who should I be?
I know these shoulds lead to feeling trapped and feeling obligated, guilt and misery. But all these shoulds and feelings are a product and culmination of your unhealthy ways of being arising from your childhood, your schooling and the society you grew up in.
I know you have you spent most of your life just doing, giving to others and hardly ever giving to yourself. Maybe for some time you also feel you do not have ANYMORE to give. You feel the fire that was within you all these years to serve, has burnt out.
That is why I feel it is exciting and sheer serependity that you are reading this right now.
There is a fire within me that I always have possessed and that is, to warm tired and weary souls. But now the fire is raging much more and I know it will not burn out because I feed and replenish myself and give to myself. That is what I started doing when I asked that question what do I really want and I have been doing this ever since.
I want you to feel that fire again. I am on a mission to beat burn out. I have found my why and I invite you to find your why by signing up to the Interview Series I have been working on for the past few months.
The series is called Beat Burn Out. I have brought together today's top Coaches, Authors, Entrepreneurs and Mentors to share with you their journey of how they find their why and how they made the transition from being a human doing to becoming a human being. You do not need to be a Social Worker or Health Care Professional to benefit from it, just a person who has spent the majority of your life giving to others and hardly giving to yourself.
The best part about the Interview Series is that it is completely free.
I would love you to find your why and experience the joy I am feeling in my life.
Super blog this Tainya, resonates a lot for me.

From Inside the Quarantine: Americana
While part of me watches America rage with this seemingly unstoppable virus, there is this other part of me that can't get November out of my mind. I have this friend who keeps telling me that Donald Trump may still be president after November 2020, and there is a fear that the refuses to leave me because that just might be true.
I guess I foolishly thought that the America that enslaved my ancestors and segregated my grandparents and parents was an America in recovery. Sure, I agreed with Frederick Douglass that America was a land of hypocrisy. I wanted to agree with Dr. King that America was a land of hope. I needed to believe in Barack Obama's vision that America pulsated with promise if we just saw her unlimited potential. If we kept moving forward then we could change a past filled with hatred and meaningless democracy into a future where American was exceptional in truth. And then Donald Trump happened.
My horror that Trump is the president of the United States is this never-ending nightmare. How could a man who cared so little about poor people move poor people to cast their vote for him? How could a man with so little respect for women convince women to vote for him? He is like some type of AntiChrist, conning millions of people into seeing a greatness in him that does not and never has existed. And now, because of him, thousands of Americans have lost their lives to Covid-19.
The other day, I thought about how death and destruction follows him, and I had this Biblical moment. I thought of Moses in the land of Egypt when GOD sent him to free the Israelites. For every sign that Moses showed of GOD's power, Pharaoh's magicians threw down the same sign. Locust for locust. Boils for boils. Blood for blood. But every time GOD sent a sign, Pharaoh refused to listen. He told his magicians to match Moses's power and they did. Finally, because Pharaoh was so doggone stubborn, GOD decided that he would allow Pharaoh's stubbornness to take root and grow. HE would teach Pharaoh a lessen that Pharaoh would never forget.
Because Pharaoh fought so hard to defy GOD, GOD sent the Angel of Death to kill every firstborn son. Every time, I heard this story as a child, I would be troubled by GOD's cruelty. Why would HE kill the firstborn son of all the Egyptians, even those who were merely citizens under this stubborn ruler? But it wasn't GOD that killed the firstborn sons. It was the stubbornness of the Pharaoh. The inability of a king to look past his own selfishness and make a choice that was best for his people. The firstborn sons of the Egyptians died because that was what it took for them to end the enslavement of the Israelites. I mean think about it. It took the death of those they loved to finally set their slaves free.
And then that still wasn't enough. Pharaoh was so stubborn, so consumed with the desire to defeat GOD, that he followed the Israelites to the sea. He watched Moses cross the sea and still refused to admit that he was merely a man in the presence of GOD. He watched a miracle happen but was so focused on winning his battle with GOD that he drove his men into the sea. The crazy thing is that he expected GOD to let him walk across the sea and recapture the Israelites. Like, how narcissistic can you be that you think a miracle performed by a GOD who just sent the Angel of Death to your home will be performed for you too? Just how narcissistic can you be?
In the America that is being devastated by Covid-19, I wonder who is Pharaoh? who is Moses? and who are the Egyptians? Is Donald Trump like Pharaoh, narcissistic and stubborn enough that it will take the deaths of thousands for him to recognize the limits of his power? Are we the Egyptians who have allowed his stubbornness and narcissism to kill our firstborns? All Egyptians paid the cost for their Pharaoh as we pay the cost for a mere man who sees himself as a king and imagines himself as a GOD. I wonder about this, about the way the Angel of Death is sweeping through our nation unimpeded because it takes the death of a loved one for too many stubborn people to see the truth.
Every great nation falls. Is that not what Dick Gregory said years ago? Every nation from Africa to Asia to Europe has fallen because empires don't last. And nations fall when their people allow their leaders to think they are gods. Maybe my Biblical moment is just me remembering the stories of my church-going childhood and how those stories fascinated me. Or maybe, just maybe, I wonder if the plague sweeping our nation offers an opportunity to reflect on where we are as a country and decide if this is the America we want to be. I don't know about you, but I definitely don't want to find out if it will take the parting of a Red Sea for this train wreck to stop. If it does, then how will America survive? and what kind of America will she be?
It's all getting a little too real, isn't it? I just finished Black Borne and it's sad that it's so on point and so little has changed! Great books, by the way.
You really do have a point though, and it's sad to think about. Our "president" refuses to realize that we are it the middle of a deadly crisis, but that's fine. Sometimes, I kinda wish he had covid-19 so he can understand that this is no joke. But yea...
