Study on CO2 Footprint To Help IMO Address Ship Emissions
The CO2-emissions associated using an Exhaust Gas Cleaning System (EGCS, or scrubber) vary between 1.5% and 3% for a number of representative ships.
The emissions caused by producing low-sulphur fuels for these ships are higher, depending on the quality of the low-sulphur fuel, the refinery and the crude oil slate.
This is the main conclusion from the new study 'Comparison of CO2 emissions of MARPOL Annex VI compliance options in 2020' issued by CE Delft.
Scrubbers have a lower climate impact than low-sulphur fuels, mentions a press release by CE Delft.
Sulphur limits
MARPOL sets limits for the sulphur content of fuel oil. As of January 1st, 2020, the sulphur content of fuel oils used outside Emissions Control Areas (ECAs) is 0.50% m/m. Inside ECAs, the limit has been 0.10% m/m since 2015. In practice, there are two options to comply with the MARPOL Annex VI Regulation 14:
1. using an EGCS in combination with fuel oils with a sulphur content that is higher than 0.50% or 0.10%; and;
2. using fuel oil with a sulphur content of 0.50% (VLSFO), respectively 0.10% or less (ULSFO).
Both options result in an increase of well-to-wake CO2 emissions:
1. an EGCS requires energy which is generated by engines running on fuel oil and thus generate CO2. In addition there are emissions associated with manufacturing scrubbers and emissions from the seawater;
2. desulphurisation in a refinery requires hydrogen which is generally produced from methane, emitting CO2 in the process, as well as energy.
A comparative study
This report quantifies and compares the CO2 footprint of both options.
The use of an EGCS results in an increase of CO2 emissions between 1.5% and 3% for a range of representative ships.
Desulphurisation inevitably leads to an improvement of the fuel quality in terms of aromatics content and viscosity.
The increase of emissions associated with desulphurisation in a refinery are higher than 1% and in many cases multiple times higher, depending on the quality improvement of the fuel, the refinery layout and the crude used.
Jasper Faber: "This study provides a comprehensive overview of the climate impacts of different options to reduce sulphur emissions. It shows that in many cases, the carbon footprint of using a scrubber is lower than low-sulphur fuels." The study has been commissioned by three major EGCS suppliers.
Increase in greenhouse gas emissions
The greenhouse gas emissions of shipping have increased from 977 million tonnes in 2012 to 1,076 million tonnes in 2018 (9.6% increase).
The carbon intensity of shipping has improved by about 11% in this period, but the growth in activity was larger than the efficiency gains.
In the next decades emissions are projected to increase by up to 50% until 2050, relative to 2018, despite further efficiency gains, as transport demand is expected to continue to grow.
While the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic will probably cause a decline in emissions in 2020, they are not expected to significantly affect the projections for the coming decades.
These are the main findings from the Fourth IMO Greenhouse Gas Study which has been released today. The study has been prepared for the International Maritime Organization by an international consortium comprising ten consultancies, research institutes and universities from four continents. The consortium was led by CE Delft.
Jasper Faber, CE Delft, project manager: "The report will provide the IMO with a factual basis for the negotiations on measures to address greenhouse gas emissions from shipping. It has again improved on the methods and presentation of the previous Greenhouse Gas Studies. We are proud to have assembled a truly global consortium bringing together some of the best experts in the field."
Shinichi Hanayama, ClassNK, technical director: "In this fourth edition, we applied more comprehensive quality analysis for each task, which led to better quality ever, with more experience and expertise. We are proud that we finished up all the heavy tasks on schedule under the COVID-19 situation."
Elena Hauerhof, UMAS, leader of the inventory work: "This study represents a significant step forward in estimating emissions inventories, and for the first time uses a fully IPCC -aligned approach to estimate international shipping emissions. The study has also significantly advanced the accuracy of AIS based estimations for any ship, and evidences this by undertaking a detailed validation against fuel consumption and other key parameters reported in EU MRV for over 9000 ships."
Shuang Zhang, Dalian Maritime University, leader of the work on carbon intensity: "Carbon intensity of international shipping is a new addition to the IMO GHG Studies, in response to the Initial IMO GHG strategy. The estimates provided by this report have clearly shown where we are on the way towards low-carbon shipping. It has been a great pleasure to work with so many outstanding experts in this field."
Bryan Comer, ICCT, leader of work on emission factors, and methodology review: "In addition to greenhouse gases, for the first time, an IMO GHG study has included estimates of black carbon emissions from ships, which have consequences both for climate and human health."
List of Consortium members
The list of Consortium members led by CE Delft (the Netherlands), and, in alphabetical order, ClassNK (Japan), Dalian Maritime University (China), Fudan University (China), Institute of Economic Research Foundation, University of São Paulo (Brazil), Manchester Metropolitan University (UK), National Maritime Research Institute, National Institute of Maritime, Port and Aviation Technology (Japan), Purdue University (USA), The International Council on Clean Transportation, and UMAS, University College London (UK).

Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems
Ships that use Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCSs) to comply with the IMO sulphur regulations have a small impact on the water quality in ports, when compared to future EU standards for priority substances in water.
This is the main conclusion of a new study carried out by CE Delft, with support from Deltares. The study calculates the predicted equilibrium concentrations for 11 metals and 16 Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs).
Four of these metals and seven PAHs are priority substances under the European Water Framework Directive (EU WFD). In most ports and for most substances, the increase in concentrations caused by continuous discharge of a relatively high amount of EGCS wash water is less than 0.1% of the limit value in the EU WFD for 2021 for these priority substances (see figure below).
In ports with low hydrodynamic exchange (such as in the Baltic sea), the increase in concentration can amount to 0.6% of the limit value for a few PAHs. The study also evaluates the accumulation of substances in port sediment.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulates emissions of sulphur oxides (SOx) from ships. Ships can either use fuels with a limited sulphur content or use an EGCS. As of 1 January 2020, the global sulphur limit will be reduced from 3.50% m/m to 0.50% m/m.
This has led to an increase in the number of ships equipped with EGCSs. An EGCS utilises water to remove SOx and other harmful air emissions such as Particulate Matter (PM) and PAHs from the exhaust in a chemical-mechanical process known as scrubbing. So-called open-loop EGCSs discharge the wash water into the surrounding water.
Concerns have been raised about the environmental impact of wash water discharges, especially in port areas.
The study is unique as it uses empirical data from almost 300 EGCS wash water samples, the most extensive dataset of this kind analysed in this manner, and because it employs the MAMPEC-BW model to calculate equilibrium concentrations in ports.
MAMPEC-BW is a model that is widely used in a regulatory context, e.g. for the approval of ballast water management systems and antifouling agents.
Cruise Lines International Association Europe
The study was commissioned by the Cruise Lines International Association Europe (CLIA Europe) and a number of industry partners with the aim of furthering publically available knowledge on the impact of wash water discharges from open-loop EGCSs on port water and sediment.
In support of this objective the report has been submitted to the GESAMP EGCS Task Team for consideration in relation to their advisory submission to the IMO on the impacts of EGCS wash water, and as an IMO Information (INF) Paper for presentation at IMO PPR 7 in February 2020 by CE Delft.
Quote from Jasper Faber, director maritime of CE Delft: "The study shows that in ports representative of those in North-Western Europe, the increases in concentrations are small when compared to the applicable limit values for priority substances. The methodology developed in this study can also be tailored for other ports anywhere in the world to analyse the specific impacts in those ports."
Vessel Emission Control Areas in Beijing
On 25 July, 2019 Jasper Faber gave a presentation at the International Workshop on Establishment and Implementation of Vessel Emission Control Areas in Beijing, China. His spoke about the availability of low-sulphur fuel in ECAs.
In 2018 CE Delft carried out a study on the economic and sustainability impacts of a number of variants of an aviation tax (CE Delft, 2018). After the report was completed, the Ministry of Finance indicated it would like several new variants to be examined in which the tax would cover not only passenger departures but also cargo aircraft. The present report analyses the economic and sustainability impacts of these variants. It also recalculates the impacts of two of the earlier variants, as a new version of the AEOLUS model is now available.
Short-term policy measures
The international shipping sector needs to quickly adopt short-term policy measures to cut operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the existing fleet, according to a new study. The study concludes that only a subset of potential policy options, namely those that mandate changes in how the existing fleet is operated can achieve the significant effect required to meet the sector's emission reduction objectives. Examples of these policies are speed limits or mandatory limits on operational efficiency or shaft power. The study out today led by CE Delft and UMAS, funded by the European Commission, analyses potential short-term measures listed in the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) initial strategy on the reduction of GHG emissions from ships.
The strategy, adopted in April 2018, includes commitments to peak emissions as soon as possible, to improve the carbon intensity of international shipping by at least 40% by 2030 (compared to 2008), and to reduce the total annual emissions by at least 50% by 2050 (compared to 2008).
The specific policy measures that can turn those commitments into practice are being considered by the IMO and will be discussed as part of the IMO negotiations in London next week. The measures considered in the study are those that could enter into force imminently and help to control GHG emissions over the period between now and 2030.
Concrete proposals
As requested by the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee in October last year (MEPC 73), several countries have submitted concrete proposals for reduction measures. These include proposals for speed limits, for the improvement of ship's operational efficiency as well as a proposal for a shaft power limit. All proposals are assessed in the study to be compatible with the IMO's objectives, if they are sufficiently strict.
The study also considered options for non-mandatory limits that use existing policy (Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan, SEEMP) to incentivise greater efficiency. Such non-mandatory limits were deemed ineffective, as they would reduce GHG emissions by not more than 2% from the expected business-as-usual levels.
IMO meeting in May
The IMO meeting in May will also discuss options to further strengthen the current internationally agreed energy efficiency rules under the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) regulation. The study analysed the emissions reduction impacts of further increasing the stringency of this regulation.
The study found that these changes would not bring about any significant GHG reductions by 2030. However, they would achieve more impact further into the future.

Die Casablanca-Klasse war eine Klasse von Geleitflugzeugträgern der United States Navy. Mit 50 Schiffen, die zwischen April 1943 und Juni 1944 in den Kaiser Shipyards fertiggestellt wurden, ist die Casablanca-Klasse die zahlenmäßig stärkste Klasse von Flugzeugträgern aller Zeiten. Die Träger, ursprünglich als Begleitschiffe für Nordatlantikkonvois entworfen, wurden während des Zweiten Weltkriegs auf allen Kriegsschauplätzen eingesetzt. Im Koreakrieg wurden einige Einheiten als Flugzeugtransporter verwendet. Ein Schiff, die Thetis Bay, wurde zum Hubschrauberträger umgebaut.

Geschichte

Planungen und Bau
Die prekäre Situation der US-Marine nach dem Verlust von vier Flottenträgern 1942 sowie Bedrohung der Versorgungskonvois nach Großbritannien durch deutsche U-Boote erforderte den schnellen Bau neuer Flugzeugträger. Der Großindustrielle und Werfteigner Henry J. Kaiser versprach daher US-Präsident Franklin D. Roosevelt die Lieferung von nicht weniger als 50 Geleitträgern innerhalb eines Jahres. Kaiser legte genaue Planungen vor, wie er auf seiner Werft am Columbia River in Vancouver, Washington mit Hilfe der gleichen Massenproduktionsmethoden wie schon bei den Liberty-Frachtern innerhalb kürzester Zeit eine große Anzahl Geleitträger für die US-Marine bauen wollte. Kaiser erhielt den Zuschlag für den Bau der Träger, der erste, die Casablanca, wurde am 3. November 1942 auf Kiel gelegt. Der Stapellauf fand am 5. April 1943, nach knapp fünf Monaten Bauzeit statt. Die Indienststellung bei der US-Marine erfolgte am 8. Juli 1943, nur knapp acht Monate nach dem Legen des Kiels. Das letzte Schiff der Klasse, die Munda, wurde am 8. Juli 1944, also genau ein Jahr nach dem ersten Schiff, in Dienst gestellt. Die Bauzeit auf der Helling wurde im Laufe der Zeit von fünf auf nur zwei Monate verkürzt, die gesamte Bauzeit betrug teilweise nur etwas mehr als drei Monate. Zwischen den Stapelläufen der einzelnen Schiffe lagen teilweise nur fünf bis sieben Tage. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Flugzeugträgern wurde bei einigen Schiffen der Casablanca-Klasse die Schiffstaufe durch weibliche Angestellte und Arbeiterinnen der Werft vorgenommen.

Einheiten

Die Namen der Schiffe wurden häufig vor der Kiellegung geändert, auch wurde die ursprüngliche Planung, 25 der 50 Schiffe an die Royal Navy zu übergeben, fallengelassen, da die US Navy die Träger selbst benötigte.

Einsatz und Verbleib

Obwohl ursprünglich als Geleitschiffe für Konvois im Atlantik geplant und gebaut, wurden viele der Träger auch auf dem pazifischen Kriegsschauplatz eingesetzt, wo sie an vielen Trägeroperationen beteiligt waren. Einer der bedeutendsten Einsätze von Trägern der Casablanca-Klasse war die Schlacht vor Samar, als ein aus sechs Geleitträgern bestehender Verband und seine Eskorten die zahlen- und kräftemäßig weit überlegene japanische Streitmacht aufhielt und zur Umkehr zwang.

Nach dem Krieg wurden die Träger sehr schnell außer Dienst gestellt, Hauptgrund war hier vor allem die veraltete Technik der Antriebsanlage und die niedrige Höchstgeschwindigkeit von nur 19 Knoten. Während des Koreakriegs wurden aber einige in Reserve liegende Träger der Casablanca-Klasse reaktiviert und mit Zivilbesatzung bemannt als Flugzeugtransporter eingesetzt. Die USS Thetis Bay wurde 1955 zum Hubschrauberträger umgebaut und blieb in dieser Rolle bis 1964 im Einsatz, fünf Jahre länger als alle anderen Schiffe der Klasse. Bis auf die Makassar Strait, die 1958 als Zielschiff versenkt wurde, wurden alle Träger der Klasse bis 1961 verschrottet.

Verluste

Fünf Träger der Casablanca-Klasse gingen während des Zweiten Weltkriegs durch Feindeinwirkung verloren. Die Liscome Bay sank am 24. November 1943 nach einem Torpedotreffer eines japanischen U-Boots vor Butaritari. Während der Schlacht von Samar wurde die Gambier Bay durch japanisches Geschützfeuer schwer beschädigt und sank am 25. Oktober 1944. Drei Träger fielen Kamikaze-Angriffen zum Opfer: die St. Lo am 25. Oktober 1944 während der See- und Luftschlacht im Leyte-Golf, die Ommaney Bay am 4. Januar 1945 in der Sulusee und die Bismarck Sea am 21. Februar 1945 vor Iwo Jima.

Technik

Rumpf
Der Rumpf der Träger basierte auf dem Typ S4-S2-BB3 der Maritime Commission, wurde aber von Beginn an auf den Einsatz als Flugzeugträger ausgelegt. Die Schiffe waren an der Wasserlinie 149,35 Meter lang und 19,9 Meter breit. Die Länge über Alles betrug 156,2 Meter, die maximale Breite 32,9 Meter. Das Flugdeck lag 12,5 Meter über der Wasserlinie, die Brücke 18,3 Meter und die Mastspitze 34,5 Meter. Der Tiefgang lag bei 6,9 Metern, die Verdrängung betrug leer 7800 Standardtonnen, beladen 10.400 Standardtonnen. Die Schiffe verfügten über keinerlei Panzerung, lediglich ein leichter Splitterschutz war vorhanden. Die Konstruktion erwies sich als sehr anfällig für starke Rollbewegungen bei hohem Seegang, weshalb die Masse der Schiffe der Casablanca-Klasse nach kurzer Zeit von ihren U-Jagd-Aufgaben aus dem Nordatlantik wieder abgezogen wurden.

Antrieb
Die Träger der Casablanca-Klasse waren die ersten größeren Kriegsschiffe seit der HMS Dreadnought, die nicht von Dampfturbinen angetrieben wurden. Da kriegsbedingte Lieferengpässe für Getriebe und wichtige Turbinenteile bestanden, entschied man sich für die Verwendung von Kolbendampfmaschinen. Die Träger wurden durch jeweils vier Fünfzylinder-Gleichstromdampfmaschinen der Skinner Engine Company angetrieben, die auf zwei Wellen mit je einem Propeller wirkten. Der Dampf wurde in vier Kesseln mit 31 bar Druck und 400 °C Dampftemperatur erzeugt. Bei 9000 PS Gesamtleistung lag die Höchstgeschwindigkeit bei 19 Knoten. Der Treibstoffvorrat von 2113 Tonnen ermöglichte eine Reichweite von 7200 Seemeilen bei Höchstgeschwindigkeit, bei 15 Knoten lag die Reichweite bei 10.200 Seemeilen.

Bewaffnung und Elektronik

Die Träger verfügten nur über leichte Flugabwehrbewaffnung, am Heck war unterhalb des Flugdecks eine einzelne 127-mm-Kanone, Kaliberlänge 38 montiert. Die weitere Bewaffnung bestand aus 16 40-mm-Geschützen in Zwillingsanordnung sowie 20 20-mm-Oerlikon-Kanonen.

Hauptradar der Träger war entweder das SC-Radar von General Electric mit bis zu 60 Seemeilen Reichweite oder das SK-Radar mit bis zu 100 Seemeilen Reichweite. Im Laufe des Kriegs wurden die Schiffe dann zusätzlich mit einer Anlage zur Freund-Feind-Erkennung ausgerüstet, deren Antenne sich an der Radarantenne befand. Zur Ortung von Oberflächenzielen verfügten die Schiffe über ein SG-Radar von Raytheon mit einer Reichweite von bis zu 22 Seemeilen, das auch eingeschränkt zur Ortung von Flugzeugen eingesetzt werden konnte. Die Antenne befand sich etwas unterhalb der Mastspitze.

Flugdeck und Luftfahrzeuge
Das Flugdeck war durch zwei Flugzeugaufzüge mit dem darunter liegenden Hangardeck verbunden. Auf dem Deck stand ein druckluftbetriebenes Flugzeugkatapult auf der Backbordseite für den Start der Flugzeuge zur Verfügung. Für die Landungen standen an Bord neun Fangseilanlagen sowie drei "crash barriers" zur Verfügung, die das landende Flugzeug beim Verfehlen der Fangseile aufhalten sollten. An Bord der Träger konnten bis zu 28 Flugzeuge (ein sogenanntes "composite squadron") untergebracht werden, meist befanden sich 16 F4F Wildcat-Jagdflugzeuge und 12 TBM Avenger-Torpedobomber zur U-Jagd an Bord. Aber auch SBD Dauntless-Sturzkampfbomber wurden teilweise von Bord der Träger eingesetzt.

The cooperation agreement was signed between MEGOC and the Belarusian Red Cross Society (BRCS) and aim to increase the First Aid professionalism of the volunteers of the 2nd European Games. The document was signed by the CEO of MEGOC George Katulin and the Secretary General of the BRCS Olga Mychko.
First Aid public training held by BRCS in Belarus. According to the signed agreement, candidates for volunteers of the 2nd European Games will be able to take part in a number of first aid training; socially useful activities; raising First Aid awareness and awareness about health issues; dissemination of knowledge about the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, humanitarian values.
– A lot of attention is given to the first aid services at public events across Europe, – Olga Mychko commented during the signing of the agreement. – For Belarus, the relevance of First Aid services is increasing in the context of the preparation and hosting of the 2nd European Games.
The BRCS Secretary General noted that first aid training is conducted according to the standard programs developed by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. In 16-hour training courses, that includes theoretical and practical parts will be simulated various types of trauma, bleeding, and other critical situations. In addition to fostering first aid skills, volunteers will be trained to be ready for different situations.
George Katulin expressed gratitude to BRCS' initiative to train volunteers for first aid, highlighting the long-term experience of the society in this area. For MEGOC it is extremely important, since volunteers, along with athletes, determine the face of the Games, he noted. It is planned that about 8 thousand volunteers will be involved in the 2nd European Games. Almost 2 thousand of them have already been interviewed. It is difficult to teach everyone the rules for first aid, therefore while selecting volunteers for training it will be taking into account personal data and work experience. Trained volunteers will be involved in work at the venues with a large number of people.
Both organizations expressed their confidence in the success of cooperation. The experience of such interaction will be in demand later at the World Hockey Championship in 2021.

Kamran Tassaduqe , Muhammad Ali , Abdus Salam , Lubna Kanwal , Nazish Afroze , Samrah Masood Muhammad Latif and Soban Umar
The present study was carried out to investigate chemical composition of urinary stones in patients of different age groups of human population in Multan, Pakistan for a period of 18 months from July 2001 to January 2003. In order to obtain patients history different hospitals including Nishtar hospital Multan, Life kidney stone center, Siyal medical center and Medicare hospital were visited. Of the 263 cases of urinary stones, 193(73.38%)were in kidney, 57(21.67%) were in the urinary bladder, 13(4.94%) were in ureter. The three predominant symptoms associated with urinary stones were lumber pain, 88(33.46%), burning in micturition 72(27.37%) and heamaturia 103(39.16%).Other related symptoms were vomating 75(28.51%), fever 50(19.01%), dribbling 25(9.50%), pysuria 34(12.92%), dysuria 30(11.40%) and retention 49(18.63%).According to the chemical composition of the urinary stones, most of the stones examined in this study were of calcium oxalate + uric acid 66(25.09%), calcium oxalate 57(21.67%), calcium oxalate + calcium phosphate 51(19.39%), pure uric acid 44(16.73%), calcium oxalate + calcium phosphate + uric acid 29 (11.02%), pure calcium phosphate, 3(1.14%) and others 13 (4.94%) were of mixed lithiasis. Of these cases the incidence of formation of calcium oxalate + uric acid stone, was maximum in males of age group 14 B 49 years.
Hypertension in Relation to Obesity, Smoking, Stress, Family history, Age and Marital Status among Human Population of Multan, Pakistan
Kamran Tassaduqe , Muhammad Ali , Abdus Salam , Muhammad Latif , Nazish Afroze , Samra Masood and Soban Umar
The present study was carried out to assess hypertension in relation to obesity, smoking stress, family history, age and marital status among human population of Multan, Pakistan. The present data was collected randomly from the male population aging from 16 to 85 years. The male population was divided into three age groups i.e old male (age above 50 years), mature male (age 31 to 50 years) and young male (age 16 to 30 years). The study revealed that there was a strong relationship between hypertension and obesity in all age groups. Hypertensive patients had association with age, smoking, stress, family history and marital status. When comparison was made between mild, moderate and severe hypertensive patients, it was found that old married males were suffering from severe hypertension. Family history of hypertension and myocardial infarction also had a strong association with hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension was found to be maximum (17.08%) in males of age group >50 as compared to mature males (14.16%) and young males (13.48%) in observed sample population. The results from the observed population suggested that prevalence of obesity was (11.49%). The obesity was maximum (12.19%) in males of age group >50 as compared to mature males (11.51%) and young males (10.64%). In the normotensive individuals the prevalence of obesity was (8.74%) as compared to (26.99%) in hypertensive individuals.

Acridines are well-known group of compounds with a wide variety of biological properties. We describe herein an expeditious approach to prepare anilinoacridine derivatives from mefenamic acid. It is the first report of a one-pot approach to anilinoacridines in good to excellent yields.
Isolation and synthesis of flavonols and comparison of their antioxidant activity
Aurangzeb Hasan , A. Sadiq , A. Abbas , E. Mughal , Khalid M. Khan and Muhammad Ali
Phytochemical investigation of the leaves of Astragalus beckari yielded four flavonol aglycones, namely kaempferol, quercetin, 5-deoxy kaempferol and fisitin. These isolated compounds were then synthesised in the laboratory using the Algar-Flyn-Oyamad reaction. Antioxidant activity of both the isolated and synthesised flavonoids was compared using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay method. The isolated flavonoids were found to be more active.
Path Coefficient Analysis in Different Genotypes of Soybean (Glycine max (L) Merril)
Shahid Iqbal , Tariq Mahmood , Tahira , Muhammad Ali , Muhammad Anwar and Muhammad Sarwar
Interrelationships between yield and its components were determined by genotypic correlation and path coefficient analysis in ten soybean varieties. The results indicated that seed yield plant–1 was positively and significantly associated with all parameters studied. The results also showed that pods plant–1 has maximum positive direct effect on yield plant–1. It was followed by 100 seed weight and seeds pod–1. Plant height had negative direct effect on yield plant–1. It was concluded that pods plant–1, seeds pod-` and 100 seed weight were the main yield components.
Growth Performance of Channa punctata from Two Ecological Regimes of Punjab, Pakistan
Muhammad Ali , Abdus Salam , Furhan Iqbal and Bakhtyawar Ali Khan
Growth of fish population from two sites was significantly different from each other (comparison of b = 2.9 and 2.29 P < 0.001). Condition factor also showed similar trend. Mean value of condition factor for site 1, K = 1.04 and mean condition factor for site 2, K = 0.75. Growth performance was higher in site 1 than fishes of site 2. It is concluded that the conditions for growth of Channa punctata were better at site 1, i.e., Basti Rattan Wali, Multan than at site 2, i.e., Talagang, Chakwal.
Studies on the Haemoglobin Concentration in Relation to Sex, Age and Season among the Population of Multan, Pakistan
Kamran Tassaduqe , Muhammad Ali , Abdus Salam and Soban Umar
The present study was carried out to assess the haemoglobin level of different age groups of human population in Multan, Pakistan for a period of 18 months from June 2001 to December 2002. The study revealed that both old and mature male/females had significantly higher percentage of haemoglobin level than youngs. The percentage haemoglobin of males was significantly higher than females. Hb percentage was significantly higher in summer than winter. Whereas overall percentage haemoglobin when compared for male and females with standard levels, the whole population was found to be below the normal range. Therefore it is concluded that the experimental population appears to be anaemic.
Study of the Seasonal Variations in the Physico Chemical and Biological Aspects of Indus River Pakistan
Kamran Tassaduqe , Muhammad Ali , Abdus Salam , Muhammad Latif and Tasveer Zahra
The present study was carried out to investigate the seasonal variations in physico chemical and biological parameters of River Indus for a period of eleven months from November 1993 to September 1994. For this purpose five different locations, Kaloorkot, Darya Khan, Ghazi Ghat Taunsa Barrage and Chachran Sharif were selected for sampling. Water samples were collected on monthly basis and were analyzed for estimation of water temperature, temperature above surface of water, temperature above surface of bank, pH and total dissolved solids. Only Darya Khan was selected for studying planktonic life. The minimum value of temperature of water 0°C in winter months while the maximum temperature of water was 36.67°C in the month of July. The minimum pH 6.9 was recorded in the month of June, while in winter months pH goes on increasing, reaching up to 8.9 showing that in winter months pH of water increases and in summer months pH of water decreases. The minimum value of total dissolved solids was 0.3 mg l-1 in April and 12.49 in August showing an increase in total dissolved solids in winter months. During the whole study 43 different genera of phytoplankton and 17 different genera of zooplankton were observed at Darya Khan. The parameters were analyzed to investigate probable pollution at different points in River Indus to suggest ways and means to improve the feeding and conservation of Indus Dolphin ecology.

Kamran Tassaduqe , Tariq Aziz , Muhammad Ali , Shahnaz Kousar , Abdus Salam and Soban Umar
The present study was carried out to assess the lipid profile in relation to sex, age in non-obese and non-diabetic patients with essential hypertension among human population of Multan, Pakistan for a period of 24 months from June 2001 to May 2003. The study revealed that there was a highly significant effect of age on total cholesterol of both hypertensive and normotensive individuals.The highest level of total cholesterol was present in hypertensive patients of 41-45 age group. The normotensive had low level of total cholesterol than hypertensive. There was no effect of age on triglycerides and HDL cholesterol. Hypertensive patients had higher level of LDL cholesterol than normotensive. The male had significantly higher level of total cholesterol than female and higher LDL cholesterol. The male had marginally higher level of triglycerides than females. There was no effect of sex on HDL cholesterol. When comparison was made between mild, moderate and severe hypertensive patients, it was found that severe hypertensive patients had significantly higher level of total cholesterol and triglycerides than mild and moderate hypertensive patients. There was no effect of severity of hypertension on HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

The present study was designed to demonstrate the seasonal variations in inorganic elements of River Soan at Dhoak Pathan Bridge, for a period of eight months from May 2001 to December 2001. Water samples were collected on monthly basis and different metals were detected through atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. The levels of Zn and Mg concentrations were below the detection limit. Na concentration was maximum in May (168.75 ppm) and minimum in July (22.5 ppm). K concentration was maximum in December (12.31 ppm) and minimum (3.94 ppm) in August. Ca concentration was maximum in May (34.25 ppm) and minimum in October (4.25 ppm). Maximum variation was observed in case of Sr. Sr was not detected in May and July while maximum (0.47 ppm) Sr was detected in November and minimum (0.04 ppm) in June. The overall levels of inorganic elemental concentrations were within the safe limits at the sampling site throughout the study period.
Determinants of Food Acceptance and Micro-Nutrients Deficiency in Preschoolers: A Case Study of Households from Karachi, Pakistan
Zammurud Subzwari , Abid Hasnain and Muhammad Ali
This study attempts to find out the determinants of food acceptance and micro-nutrient deficiency in preschool children from Karachi, Pakistan. Primary data was collected through survey from 400 households by interviewing and filling up the questionnaire. Index for food acceptance and micro-nutrient deficiency were constructed with the help of related questions from the questionnaire. Econometric models were developed and Logit techniques was employed to estimate probability of end indicator. Our results show that increase Micro-Nutrient Deficiency (MND) may cause lower level of Food Acceptance and vice versa. On the other hand, modeling food acceptance may indicate higher level of MND among preschoolers reduce the acceptance level of appropriate food. Other important variables like Household Income, Mother's Literacy and Mother's Maternal Knowledge showed significant effects and appropriate signs of coefficients as per expectations. On the basis of these findings, if government targets the core independent variables that are identified in the analysis, Food Acceptance level can be increased amongst the children and Micro-Nutrient Deficiency could then be reduced. Consequently government intervention, both long term and short term are needed to provide and regulate the food acceptance behavior either at household level or at other form so that our generation could be healthier and more productive which would lead the economic growth of a country which is abundant in labor.
Effect of Commercial Kebab Frying on Physico-Chemical Parameters of the Tallow
Muhammad Ali , Ikram Ullah , Saeed Ahmad , Hayat Khan and Haji Akbar
In Pakistan, especially in NWFP tallow is used as commercial deep-frying agent for the traditional fast foods chapli and Shami kebabs and is widely accepted for its color, flakiness, flavor and tenderness. The effect of 10 h continuous commercial kebab frying on the physiochemical parameters of the tallow was studied and evaluated. The tallow was evaluated for ash%, Peroxide Value, Optical Density, Conjugated Dienes, Conjugatet Ttrienes, %FFA, Acid Value and Anisidine Value after 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 h of frying and the effect of frying kebab resulted in the increase of all these parameters. Results of the linear regression model suggest that frying kebabs have significant correlation with the oxidation of tallow and continuous frying for more than 10 h is not recommended. It is also concluded that kebab frying accelerate the thermal oxidation of the tallow. The results obtained in this experiment propose that POV can be adopted as the standard factor in the evaluation of oxidation of tallow used for the frying kebab and the upper limit will be determined as 28 meq/kg.

Muhammad Ali , Amin Ullah , Hidayat Ullah , Fawad Khan , Syed Muhammad Ibrahim , Liaqat Ali and Shakil Ahmad
Walnuts (Juglans regia L.) are rich source of a number of important nutrients that have a very positive effect on the human health. In this study nuts of six different walnut cultivars grown in Pakistan namely Chitral-1, SW-1, Chitral-3, Chitral-2, SW-3 and Dir-2 were selected and evaluated for their physical properties, proximate and mineral composition. The nut length was found in the range of 35.17-41.37 mm, nut diameter (31.72 mm-34.32 mm), Nut thickness (32.21-35.10 mm), nut weight (10.30 g-19.22 g), Kernel weight (5.81 g-9.24 g), Kernel ratio (43.19-65.14%), shell thickness (0.81-1.35 mm), moisture content (2.76-4.20%), ash content (1.27-1.95%), fats (63.54-69.92%), protein (15.96-19.15%) and total carbohydrates (8.04-12.14%). Kernels of Dir-2 and Chitral-2 cultivars were determined to contain high protein content (>18% protein) while Chitral-1 and SW-1 contain high carbohydrates content of >10%. The energy value of the kernels of these cultivars was determined in the range of 698.10-732.44 Kcal/100 g, which shows that the fruits of these varieties are rich source of energy. In minerals the level of sodium is 40.9-64.5 ppm, K (3551-4827ppm), Ca (925-1250 ppm), Fe (30.08-41.20 ppm), Zn (11.75-25.5 ppm), Mg (1059-1765 ppm), Cu (1.96-2.75 ppm) and Pb (0.69-1.06 ppm). The fruit properties indicates that Chitral-3, Chitral-2 and SW-3 are superior walnut cultivars in terms of their physical properties than the rest of the cultivars and they could be cultivated and developed as standard varieties in Pakistan. Moreover, kernels of all the cultivars studied are rich in K, Ca, Mg, Na and Fe.
Chemical and Nutritional Properties of Some Maize (Zea mays L.) Varieties Grown in NWFP, Pakistan
Ikram Ullah , Muhammad Ali and Arifa Farooqi
Grains of ten maize varieties grown in NWFP, Pakistan were obtained and investigated for physicochemical characteristics, proximate composition, energy content and mineral composition. Mean electrical conductivity and thousand seed mass were determined in the range of 9.26-33.83 μS and 319-230.4 g, respectively. Proximate composition shows moisture content in the range of 9.201-10.908%, ash (0.7-1.3%), fats (3.21-7.71%), protein (7.71-14.60%), crude fiber (0.80-2.32%) and carbohydrates (69.659-74.549%). The data indicate that seeds of these varieties vary greatly in term of protein, fats and crude fiber contents. Pahari, Jalal 2003, WD- 2*8 and Azam varieties were determined to contain high protein content (>10% protein) while WD-2*8, Pop. 2004B, PSEV 3-2 and Sarhad (W) contain high fats content of >6%. The energy value of the grains of these varieties was determined in the range of 307.047-394.066 kcal/100 g which shows that the grains of these varieties are rich source of energy. In minerals the level of sodium is 540.30-620.41ppm, K (2915-3471 ppm), Ca (410-590 ppm), Fe (38.02-56.14 ppm), Zn (37.05-52.4 ppm), Mg (985.2-1125.3 ppm) and Cu (11.02-14.25 ppm).

Q: Aspx Web Forms Command argument I have a list of records. Each record has unique id and text. When I blow it on page, each record has a button, who refer to method DeleteRecord(object sender, EventArgs e). But this button's doesn't know record's id. I tried push id on CommandArgument, but it's doesn't works.
Is there is another way to solve this trouble, or I simply make mistake, when I fill CommandArgument?
Profile.aspx:
<%
foreach (DAL.Record record in records)
{
    <% Response.Write(record.Text);%>
    <asp:Button CommandArgument="<%#Eval("record.Id")%>" runat="server" OnClick="DeleteRecord" />
}
%>

When I pause my program on Profile.cs in method:
protected void DeleteRecord(object sender, EventArgs e)
    (Button)sender.CommandArgument

    Always == "";

The problem in
CommandArgument="<%#Eval("record.Id")%>", or my DNA.
Forgive me for my poor english.

A: You can't use inline scripts in server controls, that is:
<asp:Button CommandName="Delete" CommandArgument="<%#Eval("record.Id")%>" />

Is wrong, because you're trying to use server code in an attribute of a server control.
Instead of this, you either have to build the button manually (as an HTML control, not a server control), or you have to use a Repeater instead of foreach, and assign the CommandArgument in the repeater's ItemDataBound event handler.

A: You should probably bind to OnCommand event instead. It will give you CommandEventArgs e which has your property.
For more details, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.button.oncommand(v=vs.110).aspx.
EDIT:
An example follows:
private void DeleteRecord(Object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
    var recordId = (string)e.CommandArgument;
    DatabaseModel.Delete(recordId);
}

In the aspx page:
<%
foreach (DAL.Record record in records)
{
    <% Response.Write(record.Text);%>
    <asp:Button CommandName="Delete" CommandArgument="<%#Eval("record.Id")%>" runat="server" OnCommand="DeleteRecord" />
}
%>

If that doesn't help, make sure that the DataBinding event is fired for the control that contains data-binding expression, because for every such a control an event handler is generated of these expressions. This is because of <%# %> syntax.

A: <%
foreach (DAL.Record record in records)
{
    <% Response.Write(record.Text);%>
    <asp:Button CommandArgument=**'**<%#Eval("record.Id")%>**'** runat="server" OnClick="DeleteRecord" />
}
%>

When a tag-team wrestler wearies in the fight, he works his way to the corner of the ring. Tired and worn out, he reaches to tag his partner — who then replaces him on the mat. Weary single parents often wish they could ease over to the corner of the ring, tag a partner and take a break. But that rarely happens.
Raising children alone means that, for the most part, you don't have a partner ready to jump in and help. Whether you are well-rested or worn-out, whether you are physically healthy or coping with illness, you're still on duty. As a single parent, you have a nonstop assignment that can feel like a never-ending wrestling match.
As we work with parents at The Center for Marriage & Family Studies, one of our goals is to help single moms and dads gain control of their households and manage the daily challenges with authority and composure. Single parents feel healthiest when they know that their kids respect and obey them.
But exercising parental authority does not come naturally for single dads who fear losing their kids' affections or single moms who are too tired after work to play enforcer. Even though it takes effort, discipline is essential to a healthy family. As your kids learn to obey, your own stress level drops, and peace more frequently fills your home.
One aspect of managing kids well is teaching them that you mean what you say. Tired of all the arguing and whining, single parents often resort to making vague threats, repeating earlier comments or raising their voices in frustration and anger. As the situation escalates, single moms or dads may descend into name-calling, badgering, insulting or inappropriate physical discipline. All of these unintended consequences flow from a lack of control.
To avoid this kind of escalation, help your kids understand that you say what you mean and you mean what you say. The following principles will offer you guidance as you train your children to obey.
Clearly define the pathway to reward. "When you have eaten everything on your plate, we'll have ice cream." This statement sets up a clear reward — ice cream. It also clearly defines the pathway to and timing of that reward—"when you have eaten everything on your plate." With this fact established, your children are now responsible for whether they choose the pathway to reward.
Trust their word, but verify their work. "When you and I have looked at your homework together, and when I see that it's complete, I'll get out the Wii and you can play until bedtime." The advantage of this rule is that you eliminate the temptation to lie. Children know they can't avoid doing homework by declaring, "But I already finished it!" because you will check the homework for yourself.
Don't cave. As you establish firm boundaries and give clear instruction to your kids, expect to be tested. Make it obvious from the start that you will not be swayed. Help your children understand that you are simply announcing the decision that has already been made; you are not inviting a debate. This new style of parental communication will take effort on your part, but the rewards reaped in your home life will be well worth the perseverance.
As we often tell single parents, good parenting is not limited to those who have a built-in tag team. By learning to say what you mean and mean what you say, you build credibility with your children and train them to respect both you and your authority. Your kids will gain life skills, and you will gain a sense of calm control as you cope with the challenges of each new day.

Ghanshyam Sarda: His Journey to Become a Prominent Name in India's Jute Industry
MilanOndhia, CC BY-SA 4.0 via Wikimedia Commons
The chairman of Sarda Group and one of India's largest jute mill owners, Mr. Ghanshyam Sarda, has been recognized among the Top Icons of Kolkata in 2019. Mr. Ghanshyam Sarda was awarded a Leading Industrialist from Kolkata at the widely acclaimed state event. He also won at the Times Business Awards, Kolkata, in 2019.
Ghanshyam Sarda started his journey as a small jute trader. Today, he is one of the largest jute manufacturers and employers in India, with more than 70,000 workers in Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Bihar.
During a period of tremendous labor militancy in West Bengal, most prominent business houses left the field, but not Sarda Group. Ghanshyam Sarda saw this as an opportunity to make a bright new future for biodegradable and eco-friendly jute mass production. He aimed his efforts at reviving nine sick jute mills and followed a unique approach of motivating the workers in these failing units. Not only did he manage to successfully revive these mills, but he also used this approach to revive sick companies across multiple sectors, from chemical to tea garden to IT/ITES units.

Sarda Group in a Post-Covid World:
Ghanshyam Sarda and the Sarda Group have shifted focus towards a more eco-friendly planet and employee care in the new normal. In an official statement, Ghanshyam Sarda said, "It is laudatory that the Central government has appreciated the role of the jute industry in the socio-economic development of the country, especially in the light of environmental concerns over the use of plastic."
The chairman was concerned about the closure of jute mills during the pandemic despite coming under essential commodities in the Essential Commodities Act. He predicted that it would take months before 100% of the workforce, primarily migrant workers, could come back and work return to normal.
Sarda Group also takes adequate measures to ensure that all employees who aren't covered under the government's incentive plans receive both vaccination doses free of cost. "It is our primary duty to ensure the health of our employees," he was quoted as saying. He also stated, "If we get permission (for jute bag production amidst Covid crisis), the premises will be highly sanitized, and social distancing norms will be strictly maintained."
Ghanshyam Sarda has been a pioneer in reviving the jute industry and significantly boosts India's economy, especially through export.

Stephenville named region's 'outstanding' school board
By ANGELIA JOINER Staff Writer
It�s a double-doosey!
First, Dr. Darrell Floyd was selected as Superintendent of the Year for Region XI.
Now, the Stephenville Independent School District Board has been awarded the 2007 Region XI Outstanding School Board.
The award is sponsored by the Texas Association of School Administrators and was created in 1971.
Superintendents from districts in the north central Texas area were judges and felt the SISD board was outstanding in its service to students.
�The Stephenville ISD Board of Trustees is well-deserving of this great honor. They work tirelessly (for no pay) for the students of our district and try to make all of their decisions with the students� best interest at heart,� Floyd said. �Congratulations to our school board. I am very proud that they are being recognized for the fine work they do.�
The application notebook was compiled with hours and hours of work by former assistant superintendent Gary Horn and others and addressed a variety of topics.
�Stephenville has an outstanding board and district,� commented one judge. �They have also come from the brink of financial ruin in the last dozen years. They definitely have my vote.�
Now, just like Floyd, the school board is in the running for a state award. The application packet will be forwarded to Austin and judges will narrow the field down to five finalists. Those finalists will be recognized as �Honor Boards.� Each of those boards will be interviewed and a decision will be handed down on the state winner at the TASB/TASA Annual Convention in Dallas on Sept. 29.

Q: Update Opportunity Stage when DocuSign Envelope Status is 'Signed' I am very new to triggers but would like to set up a simple trigger. Any help is greatly appreciated! Pseudo code below.
on insert or update
if (Docusign Envelope Status is equal to 'Signed' AND Opportunity Status does not equal 'Agreement Signed Pending Rollout'){

     update Opportunity Stage to 'Agreement Signed Pending Rollout'

}

Will this work?
How should I go about compiling the trigger?
variables                        API Name
Docusign Envelope Status         dsfs__Envelope_Status__c
DocuSign Oppty                   dsfs__Opportunity__c

A: This simple trigger will do the trick.
trigger opportunityStage on dsfs__Opportunity__c(before insert, before update){
    for(dsfs__Opportunity__c o : trigger.new){
        if(o.dsfs__Envelope_Status__c == 'Signed' && o.stage != 'Agreement Signed Pending Rollout'){
            o.stage = 'Agreement Signed Pending Rollout'
        }
    }
}

Explanation:

*

*Why used before triggers? When we use before triggers, the values are not yet saved to database and any changes we made in trigger will get saved to database without any extra DML.

*What is trigger.new? It is trigger context variable which holds the list of currently modified or inserted records.

*Why == in if condition but = in next line? == is comparison operator which is used to compare two values. = is assignment operator which is used to assign value in right hand side to left hand variable.

Hope it helps.

A: Providing your information I assume that the field dsfs__Envelope_Status__c and dsfs__Opportunity__c are on the Opportunity SObject. If so the trigger should look something like:
  OpportinityTrigger on Opportunity (before insert, before update){

        for(Opportunity o : Trigger.new ) {

        if(o.dsfs__Envelope_Status__c=='Signed' && o.StageName!='Agreement Signed Pending Rollout')
          o.StageName='Agreement Signed Pending Rollout';

      }
    }

New Delhi, December 3: Mumbai City FC turned the match on its head in the second session and consigned Delhi Dynamos to their sixth defeat in the Hero Indian Super League (ISL) season with a 4-2 victory at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium here on Monday.
A Souvik Chakraborty own-goal (3´) had given Delhi the lead before Mumbai turned it around in the second half through a Rafael Bastos penalty (49´) and an own goal from Marti Crespi (61´). Gianni Zuiverloon (64´) restored parity for Delhi but Raynier Fernandes (69´) and Paulo Machado (80´) put the result beyond any doubt for the visitors.
It took an own goal from Souvik to put Delhi ahead when a cross from Lallianzuala Chhangte was deflected into the back of the net. They could have doubled the lead in the 17th minute when Chhangte crossed from the left for Nandhakumar but the winger´s shot was aimed skywards.
Delhi were lucky to survive midway into the first half when Rafael Bastos´ right footed goal-bound effort was fisted away by goalkeeper Albino Gomes.
For all of Delhi´s possession, they only had one shot on target which was through an own goal.
Mumbai took the lead in the 61st minute as Crespi scored an own goal. This was after Paulo Machado´s cross was looped into the far corner by Crespi as a desperate Gomes tried to keep the ball out but to no avail.
Three minutes later, Delhi restored parity. Rene Mihelic´s free-kick was expertly headed into the net by Zuiverloon. But it all went downhill for Delhi from then on.
Mumbai continued their ascendancy and got another in the 80th minute. Arnold Issoko broke forward on the right wing before picking out Machado´s lung-bursting run into the box. The Portuguese midfielder turned it in from close-range to put the game to bed.
Mumbai subs: Ravi Kumar, Anwar Ali, Bipin Singh, Matias Mirabaje, Raynier Fernandes, Sanju Pradhan, Pranjal Bhumij.
Mumbai City line-up: Amrinder Singh; Souvik Chakraborty, Joyner Lourenco, Lucian Goian, Subhasish Bose; Milan Singh, Sehnaj Singh; Arnold Issoko, Paulo Machado, Rafael Bastos; Modou Sougou.
Delhi subs: Francisco Dorronsoro, Mohammad Dhot, Rana Gharami, Shubham Sarangi, Vinit Rai, Andrija Kaludjerovic, Daniel Lalhimpuia.
Delhi Dynamos line-up: Albino Gomes; Pritam Kotal, Gianni Zuiverloon, Martin Crespi, Narayan Das; Bikramjit Singh, Marcos Tebar; Lallianzuala Chhangte, Adria Carmona, Nandhakumar Sekar; Rene Mihelic.

An in-depth tour of Avebury starts at The Red Lion. The Red Lion is located on the A361 between Swindon and Devises in Wiltshire. This section starts in the North West Quadrant and continues to the North East Quadrant. See the North Quadrants.
The South Quadrants
The in-depth tour is continued in these quadrants. This section starts in the South East Quadrant and continues to the South West Quadrant. See the South Quadrants.
Silbury Hill is about one and a half kilometres (.9 mile) from Avebury village. After 200 hundred years of investigations the hill is still a mystery. See Outer regions.
West Kennet Long Barrow
West Kennet Long Barrow is about a kilometre (.6 mile) from Silbury Hill, and two and a quarter kilometres (1.4 miles) from Avebury village. It is found on top of a small hill. Many visitors make this journey from around the world. From my visits to the site, I've found the American visitors to be the most prominent. See Outer regions
The Sanctuary dates from 3000 B.C. Nothing is left of the original structure now, only concrete brick markers are left. According to historian William Stukeley (1687-1765), the site was cleared by a local builder in 1724, to gain a little profit. Archaeologists believed the site started with circular arrangements of wooden poles that developed over time to form up to eight rings. The third and largest circle was constructed of sarsen stones which were about a metre and a half in height (5 ft). There might have been a smaller circle of stones, while the remaining circles were constructed with wooden poles. See Outer regions.
Round Barrows
Round Barrows were used for burials, and are located on the opposite side of the road to where the Sanctuary is located. See Outer regions.
West Kennet Avenue (Stone Avenue)
The Avenue starts half way up on the B4003 road and runs for one kilometre (.6 mile) . At one time it ran from Avebury Village to the Sanctuary, about two and a half kilometres (1.5 miles). See Outer regions.

Several favorites from Book Expo's Editor's Buzz Panel will be released next week with enviable media fanfare, including debuts from Chad Harbich and Justin Torres. Plus there's Simon Toyne's debut thriller, which has been sold in 27 countries, and National Book Award winner Lily Tuck's new novel. Usual suspects include Jacqueline Mitchard, Christine Feehan and Clive Cussler. And Thomas Friedman tops our nonfiction list with his look at four unresolved problems holding back the U.S. from supremacy, along with WWII historian Ian Kershaw's latest and a new memoir from Lucette Lagnado.
Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach (Little, Brown; Hachette Large Print) is the tale of a high school shortstop destined for greatness, until he mysteriously starts to choke – a reversal that affects the fates of four others at his school. This title has been on nearly every Fall preview list, helped no doubt by a strong pitch at Book Expo's Editor's Buzz Panel. It was also a GalleyChat Pick of ALA – librarians who joined our post-show tweetfest said it's "phenomenal" and "not to be missed." Entertainment Weekly gives it a B+, saying that although the characters feel "underdrawn," Harbach has "a talent for atmosphere, drawing you into his portrait of campus angst." It's also a Oprah Book to Watch for in September, and a September Indie Next Pick.
We The Animals by Justin Torres (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; Blackstone Audio) is a much-praised debut novel about three biracial brothers and a dueling husband and wife who are bound by poverty and love. It was also featured on the Editors Buzz Panel at Book Expo, and was a GalleyChat Pick of ALA. In an early review, the New York Times says, " a sense of lives doomed to struggle and disappointment pervades the writing without dragging it into lugubrious or melodramatic territory. Scenes that thrum with violence can suddenly turn tender too." It's also a Oprah Book to Watch for in September, and a September Indie Next Pick.
Sanctus by Simon Toyne (HarperCollins; Blackstone Audio Books; HarperLuxe) is the first in a projected trilogy of thrillers in the Dan Brown tradition, about an ancient sect of monks on a mountain near the fictional Turkish city of Ruin, who have been protecting a secret since before the Christian era. Kirkus says, "One hopes for a more tightly structured narrative next time around, but the right ingredients are all here." The announced first printing is 100,000 copies.
Second Nature: A Love Story by Jacquelyn Mitchard (Random House; Center Point Large Print; author's backlist on OverDrive) explores the tumultuous life of a woman whose beauty is lost–then restored–after a fire.
Prey: A Novel by Linda Howard (Ballantine; Random House Audio; Thorndike; author's backlist on OverDrive) follows rival Montana wilderness guides forced to cooperate against a killer on their trail.
Dark Predator by Christine Feehan (Berkley; Penguin Audiobooks; author's backlist on OverDrive ) continues the supernatural Carpathian series.
The Race: An Isaac Bell Adventure by Clive Cussler and Justin Scott (Penguin; Penguin Audiobooks; Thorndike; author's backlist on OverDrive) is a mystery set in the early days of aviation featuring Bell, chief investigator for the Van Dorn Detective Agency.
Shelter: A Mickey Bolitar Novel by Harlan Coben (Putnam Juvenile; author's backlist on OverDrive) takes place after Mickey witnesses his father's death, his mom goes to rehab, and he's forced to live with his estranged uncle Myron and switch high schools. This is Coben's first YA novel.
That Used to Be Us: How America Fell Behind in the World It Invented and How We Can Come Back by Thomas L. Friedman and Michael Mandelbaum (Farrar, Straus and Giroux; Macmillan Audio; Thorndike Large Print) outlines the four major problems the U.S. is not grappling with: globalization, infotech shake-up, out-of-control energy consumption, and lasting deficits.
The Arrogant Years: One Girl's Search for Her Lost Youth, from Cairo to Brooklyn by Lucette Lagnado (Ecco) is the author's exploration of her mother's upbringing in Cairo and her own in Brooklyn, New York. In a starred review, Booklist said, "Lagnado is spellbinding and profoundly elucidating in this vividly detailed and far-reaching family memoir of epic adversity and hard-won selfhood." This one was also presented at the Editors Buzz Panel at ALA Annual New Orleans. A section about Lagnado's mother working in the cataloging dept of Brooklyn P.L. is poignant. In the beginning, the work gives her a liberating new sense of self, but a new supervisor removes all the joy from the job.

Sermons i. On the efficacy of prayer and intercession. ii. On the articles ...
Tekijät Samuel Ogden
be then in vain, they may continue the course they have now chosen: imprecations and blasphemies may be still their employment; despair their refuge; and accursed spirits, whom they have resembled on earth, be their companions and tormentors to all çternity.
EXOD. xx. 8. REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO
KEEP IT HOLY.
HE prodigious solemnity with
which the ten commandments were delivered, from a mountain burning with fire, by the voice of God, gave them a distinction above the rest of the Law of Moses; though it was all derived from one fountain of wisdom, and enjoined by F 3
the selffame authority. The people of the Jews could not but pay a peculiar respect to precepts, uttered by the Almighty himself in their own ears : and their posterity, and all men indeed, must be led to think, that these laws were not selected from the rest, and accompanied with such marks of honour, without some fuperiour merit; but the observance of them must be either more.eminently acceptable to the Supreme Lawgiver, or, which is in reality the same, more necessary for the good of men.
The subječt matter of these commands appears
examination to be answerable to such expectations. They contain the great principles of human duty, the fundamental rules of religion and morality. Besides the great authority impressed on them, there is an original, intrinsic value in all the laws which have found a place in that literally Divine composition, of which the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God.
xxxii. 16.
If there be any objection to this observation; any precept among this chosen number, that in it's own nature is not essential to religion and virtue, but owes all it's obligation to the revealed will of the Lawgiver, it is this, Remember that thou keep holy the sabbath day. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all that thou hast to do: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.
In the strictness, in which this precept was enjoined to the Jews, it is to be considered as making a part of their ritual law, and expiring with the commencement of Christianity.
Amongst all the discourses of our Lord, and all the writings of his Apostles, in which the duties of men are raised to the highest pitch, and pressed with the greatest
earnest.
earnestness; there is not to be found one word to recommend the strict, or indeed any observance of the Sabbath. Can it be ranked among the duties of Christians ?
Be it, that a regular system of virtues is not designed to be drawn up in the New Teftament; and that the Jews, in those days at least, were sufficiently observant of the Sabbath: can we suppose that the Gentile converts, to whom fo many of the Epistles are addressed, had been every where so well instructed in this duty, if it was a duty to them; and so thoroughly accustomed to the practice of it, as to stand in no further need of information or counsel ?
Secondly, Several of the miracles and discourses of our Lord tended plainly to diminish the veneration for the Sabbath; and, as it may be thought, to prepare the minds of men for the abolition or alteration of it. The Jews indeed were fu

Montpelier police officer won't be charged in fatal shooting
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — No charges are going to be filed against the Montpelier police officer who shot and killed a suspect displaying what turned out to be a pellet gun.
The Vermont attorney general's office announced Wednesday that its investigation determined that Montpelier Police Cpl. Chad Bean's decision to use deadly force was reasonable and justified in the Aug. 9 shooting that led to the death of 62-year-old Mark Johnson.
On Tuesday Washington County State's Attorney Rory Thibault reached a similar conclusion.
Police were called to a local apartment after receiving a report that Johnson had brandished a knife at a resident. Johnson was shot twice with a patrol rifle after failing to respond to police commands to drop what they thought was a pistol.
Johnson was pronounced dead at the hospital.

I've been looking for a midcentury credenza for months on Craigslist. For anybody who's looked for something special on the black hole that's Craigslist's furniture listings, then you know how frustrated I feel. Every good item is snatched up at a second, and I am stuck mining via the leftovers.
It turns out there is a technique to digging through this virtual pile. The next time you're looking for some affordable or classic household goods, save yourself the hassle and try a few of the suggestions described here. Some are self explanatory, but it's always a good idea to have a refresher. If you are persistent, you'll be able to find the treasure you have been searching for.
• Unless you would like to spend years filtering through search results, check off this small box at the peak of the search bar to view only listings with photos.
• Hunt"by owner" instead of"by dealer." Keep away from anything with tons of asterisks, smiley faces or hearts at the title, or anything with weird phrasing or grammar at the copy — probably, it's spam coming from a bot.
• Assess the listings several times every day: parked on your car waiting for someone, once you're bored at work or while you are sitting in the front of the TV. The decent items go quickly, so you are likely to get to kiss a great deal of frogs to find your prince. Be persistent and don't stop trying.
• Set the maximum budget at $100 over your intended budget. A lot of individuals are eager to come down on price if it's been up for a while, so it's well worth perusing objects which are a bit more expensive.
• Search for phrases in the home page search pub prior to entering furniture or collectible pages. This is especially handy if you are just browsing for a particular style as opposed to a specific object. Going into the individual pages might mean you'll lose out on some matters — there are loads of great items that people have listed in the"Garden,""General" and"Free" sections.
• Do not necessarily dismiss items because of bad photos — it doesn't mean that the product isn't awesome.
• Try many distinct words to find what your searching for. Many people use different descriptions. Your fantasy sideboard might also be a credenza or even a buffet.
• After you enter more than one word at the Craigslist search bar, it automatically searches for articles with all those words. To define a listing that includes at least one of your search terms, use the pipe character:"midcentury | Eames" will hunt all articles that contain"midcentury,""Eames," or both.
• in case you see an item you are interested in, email the vendor immediately to try and snag it. If there's a phone number listed, call instead.
• When you email or call the vendor, tell them that you can come right away (or that evening) with cash in hand. Most vendors want to get rid of the product quickly, and mentioning that you'll pay in cash could seal the bargain. Ensure that you have your own way to pick it up — frequently, which could help you negotiate cost.
• Always negotiate. Most individuals are willing to knock off a few bucks here and there for something off their hands. Always be extra polite on your discussions — all the time folks will accept your lesser price.
• Always see an item in person before buying. There's no return policy on Craigslist. When you pay for this, you are stuck with that.
• Never use a wire transfer or escrow support to cover. It goes without saying, but don't pay until you have your furniture in hand.
• Never feel pressured to buy something you are not sure about, even if you trekked out to view it. If you don't like that, simply thank the vendor and depart.
• Be cautious — it's always better to be safe than sorry, especially with Internet transactions. Meet the person in a public place and/or have a buddy with you. Always have your cell phone on hand and never give out your address.

Rain bring those gorgeous spring and summer landscapes, however, we have to endure heavy rains first. Morning commutes to work, driving the kids to school, or getting to school can be terrifying when it's raining so hard you can't see 50ft in front of you. To keep you, your family, and your car safe, we have a few tips for staying safe in the extreme rain.
Poor visibility isn't the only thing you need to worry about, drivers should be on the lookout for cars cutting in front of others, spots of pooled water, and more.
Some states require headlights to be on during rain, even in broad daylight. Making sure your headlights are on helps you to see through the rain and helps other drivers see you. It's terrifying to come upon a car suddenly and needing to slam the brakes on slick streets. It's also very dangerous!
When possible don't follow semis or large vehicles, especially if your car is lower to the ground. The spray of water from their tires can often be even more difficult to drive and see through than the rain. If you have no choice, keep a good distance behind.
The only way to prevent your vehicle from hydroplaning is to slow down. When it starts to rain, roads are not only slick with rain, but oils as well. Wait a little while before heading out to your destination and a good rule of thumb is to drive five below the speed limit.
Add an extra one or two seconds of following time in the rain, this will give you more time to break and react to traffic.
Auto maintainance should be required reliably as to shield from the genuine damage and the basic thing is that constantly change the oil following 3 months to shield from the huge spillage issue.

Q: Using TypeDescriptor to check for valid propertyName when using INotifyPropertyChanged My question is more along the lines of a good practice when using INotifyPropertyChanged.
I've created a base class that implements INotifyPropertyChanged, with the intention that this class will be used in most custom view-model binding circumstance.
Basically I have a DispatchPropertyChange method that takes the name (string) of the property changing. This is pretty straight forward, but strings are obviously error prone.
I would like to verify that the property is valid before dispatching, but I'm not sure if this is a good approach. So far my helper function looks like this.
private void ValidateProperty( string prop )
{
    if( TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(this)[prop] == null )
    {
        //throw error
    }
}

I'm thinking this strategy could slow things down.
Does anyone have another approach, or method of verifying that a property name is valid?

A: Many implementations (usually slight differences) of dealing with the loosely typed issue of INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged exist.
Portion of one example is below; which deals with your null check...
protected void RaiseChanged<TProperty>(Expression<Func<TProperty>> propertyExpresion)
{
    var property = propertyExpresion.Body as MemberExpression;
    if (property == null || !(property.Member is PropertyInfo) ||
        !IsPropertyOfThis(property))
    {
        throw new ArgumentException(string.Format(
            CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,
            "Expression must be of the form 'this.PropertyName'. Invalid expression '{0}'.",
            propertyExpresion), "propertyBLOCKED EXPRESSION;
    }

    this.OnPropertyChanged(property.Member.Name);
}

A: Or you could do the property name validation at compile time

A banana cream pie recipe so delicious you won't believe how easy it is to make!
My husband is a serious pie lover. Pie was never really my thing, and I am still not a pie-making connoisseur by any means, but I have learned a few things for my man. For those reasons, this banana cream pie recipe is my best kept secret. He loves it. I love how easy it is to make!
What do you need to make banana cream pie?
To make this recipe all you need is a pie crust, instant banana pudding, milk, bananas and cool whip! Don't be fooled by how easy it is to throw together though, it is so good!
Bake pie crust according to directions or recipe, if you're making crust from scratch.
Whisk pudding mixture and milk together and chill in the fridge.
Layer sliced bananas on top of the crust.
Pour pudding mixture on top of the bananas and spread evenly.
A banana cream pie recipe so delicious you won't believe how easy it is to make!
1 pie crust you can make your own, or use a frozen store bought one. Both are delicious!
Bake pie crust according to package/recipe directions.
While crust is baking, whisk pudding mix and milk together until well combined. Refrigerate pudding mixture.
After crust is cooled, slice bananas and layer on bottom of crust. Pour pudding mixture over bananas. Spread whipped cream over pudding mixture.
Refrigerate until set, usually an hour or two, and enjoy!
Mmmm. I want another piece already. Hope you all enjoy this pie as much as we do!
That looks pretty easy! I agree with Sarah, maybe chocolate pudding would be even better. I don't think I'll ever try to make my own pie crust again, though. Disastrous.
