Allysume History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The sea-swept Hebrides islands and the west coast of Scotland are the ancestral home of the Allysume family. Their name comes from the name for the son of "Ellis" or Ellis' son. Conversely, the surname could be is derived from "Alice" as in "the son of Alice." It is likely though that the name was derived from "Ellis" rather than the female personal name. [1]
Early Origins of the Allysume family
The surname Allysume was first found in the county of Lanarkshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Lannraig) a former county in the central Strathclyde region of Scotland, now divided into the Council Areas of North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, and the City of Glasgow, where they acquired some time before 1300 the territories of their family seat at Loupe. They were descended from Angus Mor MacDonnell, Lord of the Isles, their Gaelic name was MacAllister, and it is difficult through history to distinguish one name from the other.
Early History of the Allysume family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Allysume research. Another 42 words (3 lines of text) covering the years 1296 and 1314 are included under the topic Early Allysume History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Allysume Spelling Variations
Medieval translation of Gaelic names could not be referred to as an accurate process. Spelling was not yet standardized, and names in documents from that era are riddled with spelling variations. Allysume has been written as Allison, Alison, Alinson, Allinson, McAllister, MacAllister, Ellison and many more.

Migration of the Allysume family to Ireland
Some of the Allysume family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
Another 57 words (4 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Allysume family
Many of the ancestors of Dalriadan families who arrived in North America still live in communities along the east coast of Canada and the United States. In the American War of Independence many of the original settlers traveled north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the ancestors of many Scots began recovering their collective national heritage through Clan societies, highland games, and other patriotic events. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Allysume or a variant listed above: William Allison who settled in Pennsylvania in 1764.

Video: Kobe Bryant Discusses Recovery, Legacy And More With Rick Fox
Los Angeles Lakers Vs. Memphis Grizzlies NBA Highlights
Ross Gasmer
With the Los Angeles Lakers season already 10 games deep, guard Kobe Bryant is making the media rounds to discuss when he thinks he'll be back on the floor after tearing his Achilles last April.
Bryant has been deemed ahead of schedule in his recovery and talking to Rick Fox of NBATV tonight, he reiterated that point, even going as far as saying if tonight were a playoff game he'd play. Again, Bryant said there isn't a timetable for when he thinks he'll return as he's used cryptic messages via his Twitter avatar to possibly suggest when he thinks he'll be back on the court.
He also talked about the beginning stages of his recovery saying that he wasn't able to sleep the night he was injured and the night was filled with question marks about the procedure and timelines.
Regardless, Bryant still seems like he's on pace to return at some point during the first half of the season and with the Lakers 4-6, they could certainly use number 24 on the court.

Ия Ивановна Кикнадзе — генетик, заслуженный деятель науки РФ.

Биография
Ия Ивановна родилась в городе Тюмень в феврале 1930 г. в семье служащих. Мать Антонина Александровна Решетникова, отец Иван Васильевич Балакин.
В Тюмени прошло все детство Ии Ивановны, там она поступила в школу № 1 и закончила женскую школу № 25 с золотой медалью. Поступать же решила в Ленинградский государственный университет.

Университет Ия Ивановна закончила в 1952 г. тоже с отличием, получила специальность «дарвинист-генетик». В 1952 году Ия Ивановна поступила в аспирантуру ЛГУ, а в 1955 году, по окончании учебы, защитила кандидатскую диссертацию на тему «Динамика ДНК и РНК в овогенезе и ранняя фрагментация у беспозвоночных». Научным консультантом И. И. Кикнадзе был известный в Ленинграде цитолог Иван Иванович Соколов, советы которого Ия Ивановна высоко ценила и в дальнейшей научной деятельности.

Свою карьеру Ия Ивановна начала в 1955 г. в Ленинграде, поскольку окончив аспирантуру, была принята младшим научным сотрудником в лабораторию цитологии Зоологического института Академии наук СССР (1955—1956) (преобразован в 1956 году в Институт цитологии Академии наук СССР). В 1957 году Ие Ивановне предлагают переехать в организуемый Новосибирский академгородок, в Институт цитологии и генетики СО АН СССР, где ей обещают дать жилье и работу. Так в 1958 г. Ия Ивановна переехала со своим мужем ботаником Георгием Сергеевичем Кикнадзе и дочкой Ириной в Новосибирск.

Институт цитологии и генетики

В январе 1958 г. ИЦиГ Ия Ивановна устраивается на должность младшего научного сотрудника в отдел физических, химических и цитологических основ наследственности. Руководителем отдела до 1961 г. был профессор Иван Дмитриевич Романов. В 1961 г. Ия Ивановна становится старшим научным сотрудником, а с октября 1962 г. становится заведующей лабораторией общей цитологии. На Объединенном ученом совете по биологическим наукам СО АН СССР в Новосибирске в 1967 г. И. И. Кикнадзе защитила докторскую диссертацию «Функциональная организация хромосом». 10 декабря 1970 г. ей присваивается ученое звание профессора по кафедре «Цитология и генетика».

С 1994 г. Ия Ивановна становится главным научным сотрудником лаборатории эволюционной биологии клетки Института цитологии и генетики СО АН СССР (РАН).

Ия Ивановна организовала несколько научных симпозиумов: в 1970 г. — 2-й Всесоюзный симпозиум «Структура и функционирование хромосом» (Новосибирск), в 1985 г. — Всесоюзный симпозиум «Эволюция, видообразование и систематика хирономид» (Новосибирск). В 1982 г. в Академгородке прошел международный симпозиум «Организация и экспрессия тканеспецифических генов».

Ия Ивановна Кикнадзе основала в Новосибирске школу цитогенетиков-диптерологов. Стала научным руководителем для 29 кандидатов, среди ее учеников многие стали известными учеными и в других странах мира.

Новосибирский государственный университет

И. И. Кикнадзе создала цитологическую специализацию на кафедре цитологии и генетики (заведующей которой являлась с 1962 г. по 1986 г.) биологического отделения факультета естественных наук НГУ. Ученая создала и читала оригинальный курс «Цитология»/«Клеточная биология», разрабатывала программы, вела и курировала семинары, спецпрактикумы по цитологическим и генетическим дисциплинам.

Многое было привнесено в Сибирские университеты из Ленинградской биологической школы, например, практикумы и практики по цитологии и генетике в НГУ были организованы по той же системе, что и практикумы кафедры ЛГУ.

John Gibson (I think that's his name–he has blonde hair) of FOX News (time now is about 5:30 p.m.) appears to be deliberately saying things on FOX News to strengthen the Jesuits' case against Vladimir Putin. Judge Andrew Napolitano has appeared with him, though I believe judge Andrew Napolitano is innocent–you may want to do all the 666-Computer HISTORIES on Judge Andrew Napolitano and on John Gibson. For instance, I was working on a CONSPIRACY LAW where I would strengthen the law about reporting LOOPHOLE PROGRAMs (in order to clamp down on those who would DELAY reporting of LOOPHOLE PROGRAMS to LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONs) and within 3 seconds after I thought this thought, John Gibson mentioned the word "delay" on the newscast. Do all the HISTORIES on John Gibson, and, if necessary, have him make a CONFESSION STATEMENT on RUSSIAN BROADCAST NEWS.

Italian Porsche Artist – Alessandro Gedda – Cayman Skyscraper
ITALIAN ARTIST ALESSANDRO GEDDA HAS A PASSION FOR FAST CARS AND IN PARTICULAR FOR THE PORSCHE
Porsche "My passion," he says..
Fancy painted Cayman lifted onto a building. A crane lifts a covered Porsche with a cloth, it does a fly over one of the most beautiful buildings in Milan and then laid gently on the Terrace Downtown.The curtain falls and reveals a Porsche Cayman completely customized by the brush of Alessandro Gedda. The man seems to be a perpetual motion machine. Italian artist Alessandro Gedda radiates a dynamic energy that finds expression in his brilliantly hued, powerful paintings.
With his zest for art, photography, and design, Gedda has gained an international reputation. His works have been exhibited in Rome and Milan and will be shown in Monaco, New York, Miami, and Moscow this year alone. One of the dominating themes of his work:
Porsche. "My passion," he says.
A passion the forty-year-old Gedda is not content to express solely in his art: Last year, he pursued it for 50,000 kilometers (about 35,000 miles) on real-life roads. His current love is a 911 Carrera 4 in Seal Gray. Che bella macchina, as the Italians like to say. Gedda says he soaks up the various impressions he gains on these drives, unfiltered, so to speak, to later capture them on canvas. These fleeting impressions range from the typical anarchy of an Italian roundabout to a speedy highway jaunt to a stop by the side of beautiful Lake Como.
Gedda lives only about ten miles from Lake Como, in a sixteenth-century manor house in Appiano Gentile.
"I only keep a few of my canvases at home," he says. "The others are in private collections. Two were recently bought by American gallery owners. Actually, when I think about it, selling one of my pictures is always a highly emotional experience. It means parting with one of your creations. It will travel new roads without you—but it carries your mark out into the world, the mark of passion."
Alessandro Gedda
How did it all start?
"I was six years old, and we were living on a country estate in Tuscany. Friends of my father would often drop by before taking part in a rally on the island of Elba. And there was this one car that caught my fancy more than anything else," Gedda says. "A Porsche. I especially remember the big headlights and the inimitable sound. I drew a picture of it—and from that moment, I knew I wanted to own a Porsche myself one day."
Just one Porsche? Actually… no.
Gedda's current Porsche is his fourth. He started out with a 911 SC 3.0, then he fell in with a 911 RS, then he set his sights on a 911 Carrera, before ultimately falling for his current "baby."
Gedda's relationship with his Porsches is a close one. He even talks to them. He remembers how he once got up early so he could have a heart-to heart with his 911 RS and beseech it to climb the Cisa Pass "like only this 911 could." The pass crosses the Apennines to link the Emilia-Romagna region with Tuscany.
"The Porsche replied in its own language, the musical tones of its flat-six engine."
Talking to your car sounds a little crazy?
Well, maybe this kind of dialogue is less surprising when one considers that Gedda studied communications in New York City, and for the past thirteen years has headed an agency devoted to communications in the broadest sense of the term.
Alessandro Gedda has always liked to test limits, including his own—whether it's parachuting (when he was with the police in the 1980s), deep-sea diving, or pursuing his passion for Porsche. In that respect, his current pet project fits the bill perfectly. It seems space will be getting a little tight in his studio soon. Besides his large canvases, Gedda will have to make room for a Porsche 356. He plans to restore the vintage machine—in 356 days, to be precise.

This beautiful origami Marigold is a Toshikazu Kawasaki's design. I always enjoy folding flowers, and the folding sequence of this one is particularly pleasing, and not very difficult.
The diagrams can be found in the book, The Greatest Dream Origami, ISBN 9784255005058 (in Japanese).
I folded the flower with and octagon cut from a 9" (225 mm) square of Pacon Paper , which is the same color on both sides. Each branch was folded with a 2 ¼" x 9" (56 mm x 225 mm) rectangle of the same paper.
The Square Box - Lily is a modular box designed by Tomoko Fuse.
The lid of the box can be folded with four lily modules, or with a combination of lily modules and plain modules, such as the one shown in the picture.
The instructions can be found in the book, Fabulous Origami Boxes , by Tomoko Fuse.
I used a total of eight 6" (150 mm) squares of origami paper, 4 for the body and 4 for the lid.
I chose a thin paper (no scrapbook paper this time) because the length of side of the square left to fold the lily is 3/8 of the length of the side of the paper (2 1/4" for a 6" paper), and it has many layers of paper in the quarter that is connected to the lid.

'Cold feet!': Video shows kangaroos hopping through snow in Australia
WATCH: A motorist witnessed an unusual sight while traveling in rural Curraweela, New South Wales, on August 10: a large group of kangaroos bounding through the snow.
While North Americans and Europeans are enjoying their summer months, Australia is enduring a particularly chilly winter — and the kangaroos are loving it.
Video posted online shows a mob of kangaroos frolicking on a snow-blanketed sheep farm by the side of the road near Curraweela, New South Wales, after a rare flurry of snow on Saturday.
Motorist Stephen Grenfell recorded the video from his car and posted it on Twitter Sunday.
"Not something you see every day in Australia," he wrote. "Kangaroos in the snow."

The kangaroo video prompted a flurry of jokes on Twitter.
"Snow White Boomers," tweeted one individual.
"What if they're all jumping frantically cuz their feet are freezing," wrote another.
"They got cold feet!" added a third person.
Grenfell says snow only falls in that area a few times each year.
"This was the most snow we have ever seen in this area and it was much further north than normal," he tweeted.
Grenfell was one of several Australians who shared footage of snow over the weekend.
"Yes, we get snow," he added.
Cold air from Antarctica swept over parts of Australia over the weekend, dropping snow on the typically arid states of New South Wales and Queensland, according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
Another Twitter user shared a brief video of a kangaroo leaping through the snow on Saturday.

"How to prove it snows in Australia," he wrote.
"Liars," comedian Tim Hickson wrote in a retweet. "Everyone knows Australia is a hellscape of bottomless pits of fire and scorpions."

Explosive research sheds light on volcanic tsunami
Innovative experiments being run at the University of Auckland are giving natural hazard researchers and PhD students from NIWA, GNS Science and the Universities of Auckland and Otago a close look at how erupting volcanoes can cause deadly and damaging tsunamis.
Funded with a Marsden grant from the Royal Society, the project is focusing on the wave generating capacity of large explosive eruptions and pyroclastic density currents – hot mixtures of particles and gas which form during eruptions and flow down the sides of volcanoes.
Compressed air, gas and steam are being used in water tanks to simulate the waves generated when underwater volcanoes blow their top. A network of sensors and video cameras have been capturing the action in slow motion at a range of pressures and tank depths.
Christchurch-based NIWA hydrodynamics scientist Emily Lane says some underwater volcanic eruptions happen in such deep water that the surface is barely affected. Others happen in shallower water with the bulk of explosive activity above the surface. The project team is investigating the "sweet spot" between these two extremes where the depth of the water and strength of the eruption can generate large damaging waves.
The project has also seen glass beads tipped down aerated ramps into water to mimic what happens when pyroclastic flows hurtle down the sides of erupting volcanoes. Equations named after 18th Century French physicist Claude-Louis Navier and Anglo-Irish mathematician George Gabriel Stokes are being used to model how these flows move. Numerical models the project team are putting together are being crunched by NIWA's high performance supercomputer.
Emily says while we don't have strong evidence of volcanic tsunamis in New Zealand, there are lots of places with all the right ingredients – Lake Taupo, White and Mayor Islands, offshore parts of the Auckland volcanic field and the geologically restless Kermadec Arc, for example.
"Taupo caldera, Auckland volcanic field and offshore Bay of Plenty are places where we're missing information about tsunami hazard from eruptions. It's a possibility in those locations, so we're working to find out how much of an issue it may be."
Big underwater shakes are responsible for most of the tsunamis that reach New Zealand shores. While our tsunami hazard planning focuses mostly on earthquake-generated tsunamis, large waves generated from volcanic activity do happen. They can be every bit as destructive. We know this from overseas events.
Well-documented cases include the 1883 Krakatoa eruption (see lithograph right (top)), which generated multiple large tsunamis that killed over 36,000 people, Monserrat volcano in the Caribbean, Rabaul in Papua New Guinea and Myojin-sho in Japan (image right, bottom). More recently, a 1996 eruption near the northern shore of Russia's Lake Karymskoye created waves up to 30 metres high, and over 400 people died in a tsunami when the flank of Indonesia's Anak Krakatoa collapsed in 2018.
"We're combining our knowledge of what has happened in different places around the world with these lab experiments and numerical models to understand the most dangerous conditions in tsunamis generated by underwater volcanic eruptions and the nature of the volcanic tsunami hazard here in New Zealand. That will help us better prepare for possible future volcanic tsunamis," says Emily.

MASERU – THE Lesotho Revenue Authority (LRA) will hold a Tax Expo at 'Manthabiseng Convention Centre on December 4th and 5th.
The Expo is intended to provide a platform for stakeholders to discuss and make inputs into tax policy formulation and tax administration with a view to unlocking the potential of both Tax Policy and Administration as drivers of economic growth and development.
This initiative is in line with the LRA's Strategy, REA AHA (We are Building), which calls for greater collaboration with stakeholders and clients.
"The current regional economic challenges, manifested by volatile and generally declining SACU revenues, underscore the need for our country to do a much better job of domestic resource mobilization to finance the much needed development expenditure," LRA Acting Head Stakeholder , Management, Marketing and Public Relations Pheello Mphana said.
Over and above the well-known, and indeed crucial, mandate of collecting tax revenue for the government, the LRA is also mandated by Parliament to advise the government on tax policies.
The LRA said in carrying out its primary tax administration work, it is also exposed to the realities of the impact of policy on all facets of the economy.
It said it is keen to facilitate feedback between tax administration, on the one hand, and policy and legislation sectors on the other.
The LRA said the Tax Expo will allow all relevant stakeholders to share their views on how tax administration, policy and tax laws could be leveraged as instruments of economic development.
Scheduled at the beginning of the annual fiscal planning cycle, the Expo seeks to enable a conversation that will inform the LRA's advice to the Ministry of Finance as the ministry decides on its tax policy priorities in the next year.
Moreover, the conversation will also provide the LRA itself with feedback on how it discharges the tax administration function that it has been entrusted with, which includes suggesting appropriate legislative amendments.
The Expo, dubbed "Lekhetho Khotla", will this year focus on the role of taxation in tackling Lesotho's current economic development challenges.
Mphana said above and beyond financing the government's fiscal budget through both domestic and frontier resource mobilisation, taxes are also effective instruments of economic policy.

Winter may be officially over, but the evenings are still chilly, and I find myself craving warm, hearty, stick to your ribs kind of meals for dinner. So this past week, I whipped out my trusty Instant Pot, and threw together a most insanely delicious Beef Ragu with Spaghetti Squash.
It has all the incredible flavors of a traditional slow cooker beef ragu, but it's made in a fraction of the time. The beef is so moist and succulent, and each ingredient in the sauce comes together to create a most beautiful harmony of flavors.
An Italian cuisine, Beef Ragu is a meat-based sauce that is typically served over pasta or noodles. The basic preparation is slow cooking over a low heat. Tomatoes are often used in the sauce, but limited so that the meat is the star of the dish, making ragu more of a meat stew, rather than a tomato sauce with meat added to it.
There are lots of different ways to serve a beef ragu. The way I've seen most frequently is over pappardelle pasta noodles. The wide, flat surface of these noodles is basically the vehicle for all those luscious chunks of meat to ride in on. No doubt about it, it is so incredibly yummy, and my favorite way to eat it when I'm not counting calories.
But if you want to keep your carb and/or calorie count low, serving it over a vegetable is an amazing way to still indulge in this decadent dish. I opted to have my beef ragu over fresh roasted spaghetti squash, and I cannot even tell you how GOOD this was!!
I know that some people can be a little intimidated by the thought of cooking spaghetti squash, so here's a basic, step-by-step process on how to do it.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper, and lightly mist with oil or cooking spray.
Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, from stem to tail, and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil (or lightly mist if you are trying to keep the fat and calories low), and season with salt and pepper.
Place the squash, with the cut side facing down, onto the baking sheet or dish. Place in the oven and roast until tender, about 45-60 minutes, depending on how large your squash is.
Remove from the oven, and let cool until it's able to be handled.
Using a fork, scrape out the flesh, creating the "spaghetti" strands.
If you aren't a fan of spaghetti squash, you can also serve this beef ragu over zucchini noodles (Zoodles) or any other spiralized veggies, egg noodles, polenta, orzo, or as part of a bowl with roasted veggies. You can get creative here. No matter what you serve it over, it will be hard to put your fork down.
Of course the most important part, is to have the best, most delicious tasting beef ragu, because then it won't matter what you serve it on!
And this ragu has a TON of flavor. Seriously. It DELIVERS.
I wanted it to be rich, hearty, and dense, so that it felt indulgent and satisfying. And I also wanted to make it quickly! Using my Instant Pot allowed me to get this dish done in a little less than an hour, which is WAY faster than the traditional slow cooker method.
Ever since I introduced Instant Pot Recipes on my LaaLoosh earlier this year, I've received tons of requests asking for more recipes using it. And if you aren't a member of the club yet, just use this Instant Pot affiliate link to head on over to Amazon and grab yourself one!
I'm telling you, I cannot get enough of my Instant Pot – especially when I want to cook something that involves beef. The high pressure makes the meat SO tender and juicy in just a fraction of the time. My Instant Pot and I will be BFF's forever.
This is the type of meal you'll want on a chilly night, and since some of you are still getting snow this time of year (yikes!), grab your pressure cooker, and make this Instant Pot Beef Ragu with Spaghetti Squash stat!
You won't regret it, and I hope you'll love it as much as my family did.
WANT MORE BEEF RECIPES? TRY THESE!
Throw together this incredibly versatile dish in no time with your Instant Pot. Depth of flavor, succulent beef, and a rich, decadent sauce that is served atop roasted spaghetti squash for a light, yet filling meal.
Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking dish (or two) with parchment paper.
Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise (making 6 halves total), and scoop out the seeds. Mist lightly with an olive oil mister or cooking spray, and season generously with salt and pepper. Place squash cut side down in baking dish, and place in oven. Cook until tender, about 45 min to 1 hour, depending on the size of the squash. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
While our squash is roasting, let Instant Pot to saute mode. When add in olive oil. Then add in the onions, carrots, and celery. Saute for about 2-3 minutes.
Add in all remaining ingredients, and stir it around a bit to combine. Turn off saute and cover with lid.
Set Instant Pot to Meat/Stew mode and cook on high pressure for 35 minutes. Allow to naturally release until pressure valve is down.
Open lid and shred beef with two forks. If you would like the sauce to be thicker, just set Instant Pot back on saute mode, and cook until the sauce begins to thicken.
Once spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, scrape the squash into strands with a fork. Transfer strands to a serving bowl, or keep in the squash shell and use as a bowl.
Top each spaghetti squash half with 1/6th of the beef ragu and sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese, if desired.

A tax strategy is a document required to be published annually by businesses which operate in the United Kingdom with a turnover above £200m or a balance sheet above £2 billion. This requirement is set out in Section 161 of the Finance Act 2016. A group of companies may produce a "group tax strategy".

Components
A company's tax strategy must set out:

(a) the company's approach to risk management and governance arrangements in relation to UK taxation,

(b) the company's attitude towards tax planning (so far as affecting UK taxation),

(c) the level of risk in relation to UK taxation that the company is prepared to accept,

(d) the company's approach towards its dealings with HMRC.

A company meeting the turnover or balance sheet thresholds which fails to comply may be fined.

Accountants Ernst and Young estimate that over 2000 UK businesses are affected by this requirement.

Explore: Field Notes • Dear Diary
Destroyer has a new record out and it's right nice, as usual.
Dan Bejar at his finest. In early 2001 my friend Jamie sent me a cassette in which were copied some Destroyer songs from the Streethawk: A Seduction album. I was immediately and irrevocably head over heels in love with Destroyer.
I had just left Vancouver to move to Toronto, and the sound I heard was as though everything that was magical and lovely about the city of Vancouver, and British Columbia in general was trapped inside of this tiny cassette. I mean to say specifically, that it sounded like Vancouver. It felt like Vancouver. Every single time I hear a Destroyer song I am immediately transported. This was a good thing, since, I had made the very difficult but particularly easy decision to defect to Ontario…. in permanence. I purchased a one way ticket so that when I returned for general visitations and Christmas, I would require two-way tickets from the moment I landed in Toronto. It would be the first philosophical "burning of the boats" in my life.
Jamie effectively provided me with a tiny little time machine to transport myself back in time to the city of my birth, province of my upbringing. There are so many things I missed over the years, having left… but for the best, for me.
I recently found the cassette among my treasures. It will be place in a shadow box and hung on the wall with a post it note that says "it's gonna take an airplane".

Tata Steel's first graphene-based product is in the market - the company has announced the launch of ready-made graphene-coated stirrups, named Tiscon Superlinks+. Tata Steel's vice-president (steel & marketing), said when four columns are built, the support link is normally supplied by a local mason, which is made of steel. "But, it usually rusts. We have changed that by coating it with graphene."
Superlink+ reportedly has enhanced corrosion resistance and better bonding strength than other stirrups in the market. Tata Steel has filed seven patent applications in this area of work.
A graphene development cell has been set up by the Company to identify applications and establish new businesses (production units, supply chain and markets). Two advanced material research centers have been established. One is at Chennai, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology there. The other is at Bengaluru, with the Center for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences.
The Company commented that as long as graphene is used as a value-add in steel, Tata Steel could work on it. For other applications, it would have to approach other companies.
In April 2014, Tata Steel signed a strategic partnership with the UK's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to co-develop graphene-coated steel and other innovations. In November 2015, Tata and Talga Resources signed a collaboration agreement to explore opportunities in graphene supply, processing and applications. In May 2016, TS announced its intention to start manufacturing graphene, moving away from a steel company to a materials production company.


President Trump called for what he labels as 'unfair' news coverage to be "tested in courts," in a tweet storm Sunday, also declaring that the 'fake news' will not cover the story of missing text messages sent by FBI agents assigned to Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
Trump's reference to Saturday Night Live came after the NBC show ran a skit set in a an alternate reality where Trump was not elected, and where Hillary Clinton won the election.
Trump followed up his initial tweet with another questioning what has happened to 19,000 missing text messages exchanged by former FBI employees Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, who were tasked by the Department of Justice to investigate Trump, despite being clearly opposed to his presidency.
The Inspector General's office of the DOJ declared last week that it cannot recover the texts, with the OIG report, claiming that the iPhones issued by the special counsel's office to Strzok and Page were reset after they left the special counsel probe in July 2017.
Previous text messages from Strzok and Page revealed that they frequently slammed Trump in private during the 2016 campaign and vowed to stop him from getting elected.
Trump described the latest development as another example of the 'witch hunt' being perpetrated against his presidency.
Wow, 19,000 Texts between Lisa Page and her lover, Peter S of the FBI, in charge of the Russia Hoax, were just reported as being wiped clean and gone. Such a big story that will never be covered by the Fake News. Witch Hunt!
The President also further commented on the FBI's raid of his attorney Michael Cohen's New York office and hotel room in April, questioning why the Bureau did not also break into the offices of the DNC or Hillary Clinton to retrieve servers believed to have been hacked by Russia.

How Barack Obama Works
Barack Obama Biography
Barack Obama, shortly after he was elected the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review in 1990.
Steve Liss/Time Life Pictures/Getty Images
Barack Hussein Obama Jr. was born Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu. His parents, Ann Dunham, a white Kansas native and daughter of a World War II veteran, and his father, a black Kenyan and son of a goat herder, met while enrolled at the University of Hawaii. The senior Obama divorced his wife and left Hawaii for Harvard. He eventually moved back to Kenya, where he worked as an economist and oil consultant [source: Chicago Sun-Times].
His mother remarried and moved young Barack to her second husband's home in Indonesia. Here, he studied for two years at a local public school. Obama's attendance at the Muslim-run public school in Indonesia later became the foundation for rumors that he is a Muslim and that the school he attended was a madrassa, a school that teaches Islam. (This doesn't appear to be the case; CNN sent reporters to the school early in 2008 and reported that the school was not a madrassa [source: New York Times].)
Obama returned to Hawaii and was raised by his grandparents until his mother returned to the United States following her divorce from Obama's stepfather. Obama attended Occidental College, a liberal arts college in Los Angeles, before transferring to Columbia University in New York. He graduated from Columbia in 1983 with a B.A. in political science [source: The Des Moines Register].
Following his graduation from Columbia, he moved to Chicago in 1985. There, he became involved with church-based nonprofit groups that work to provide housing and support to poor families in the city [source: 60 Minutes]. He went on to Harvard Law School, where he received his Juris Doctorate in 1991 [source: Religion and Politics]. At Harvard, Obama became the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, overseeing a monthly, student-run journal that publishes about 2,000 pages per issue [source: Harvard Law Review].
Obama married his wife, Michelle Robinson -- an earlier graduate of Harvard Law -- in 1992. The two met at a Chicago law firm where they both worked. Four years later, Obama wrote his 1996 autobiography "Dreams from My Father." In it, he revealed that during his teenage and college years he experimented with marijuana and cocaine [source: Washington Post]. When Steve Kroft from "60 Minutes" asked if he regretted making these admissions, Obama told him, "No. You know, I don't" [source: CBS News]. He began an earnest attempt to quit smoking cigarettes in 2007, after pledging to his wife that he would switch to nicotine gum to break his habit [source: ABC News]. In 1999, his first daughter Malia was born. His second daughter, Natasha, arrived in 2001.
In addition to practicing law, Obama also serves as a senior lecturer on law at the University of Chicago Law School [source: Chicago Sun-Times]. In addition to "Dreams from My Father," Obama also published the bestseller "The Audacity of Hope" in 2006.
In 1998, the candidate joined the United Church of Christ in Chicago, after being raised outside of religion by his mother, who he's described as a "lonely witness for secular humanism" [source: Chicago Sun-Times]. During his 2008 presidential campaign, his religious views were called into question. An e-mail about Obama began to circulate, focusing attention on his Muslim background. The e-mail paints Obama as a radical Muslim and suggests that he may be a puppet of terrorists. This e-mail was categorically debunked as a false claim by the online urban legend reference site Snopes.com. The concept was lampooned on the controversial July 21, 2008, cover of the New Yorker magazine. A drawing entitled "The Politics of Fear" depicted a turban clad Barack giving pounds to his militantly-dressed and afroed wife, Michelle, in the Oval Office, while an American flag burns in the fireplace beneath a portrait of Osama bin Laden [source: New Yorker].

First, I fished out my GPS logger and placed it high on a boulder to take a reading. The reading came back 29 23 0511N and 103 53 1338W.
Shouldn't that be 102 53 1338W?
As Badknees can tell you from last year's trip report, always double-check any navigational information I post. I have some sort of geographical dyslexia that causes me to invert/convert/subvert everything I write. It's been a severe occupational hazard. I can read and use navigational tools; I just can't write about them.
Can you provide units? What is the 3810, 5513, 0511 and 1338? Are there any decimal points?
29 28 3810N and 102 50 5513W.
OK, that clears that up and was my assumption. That leads to another question?
Below is a plot of the 2 referenced points. Looks like about 6 1/2 miles (as the crow flies) between them. The first point plots on the east side of the La Linda road? Which way did you travel?
Are you sure it wasn't 29 28 2810N and 102 50 5513W. That would make more sense?
Yeah I looked at that too, I am sure his first Long. number was off and agree that it is 102 not 103.
Seems like its too far north by about 5 min.
Looks like he walked up between Heath Creek and Brushy Draw from the river to Telephone canyon.
There appears to be some sort of water feature (wildlife guzzler?) at 29 23 38.1 -102 50 55.13.
Just floating the river through the entire park is a feat in itself.
However, I've never met a GPS unit in which coordinate systems cannot be changed from DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds) to alternate, and much easier to use, displays.
Degrees Minutes Seconds 29°28'38.1000", -102°50'55.1300"
Degrees Minutes Seconds 29°23'05.1100", -102°53'13.3800"
Some notes about all this. Every GPS I've ever used can be set to any of the above schemes, but outputs downloaded data in WGS84 decimal degrees, regardless of how it is displayed on the screen.
The North and West designators are replaced by a plus (+) sign (omitted as unnecessary) for northern latitudes and a minus (-) sign (included) for western longitudes. The degree symbol also is omitted as superfluous since "degree" is what you're dealing with.
So, for example, you can drop 29.3847528, -102.8870500 (or 29.3847528 -102.8870500; with or without the comma, it's not necessary but a space between the coordinates is) into Google Earth and quickly go there.
UTM is a bit more complicated to use outside the GPS unit as you must include the zone (the 13R above), but for quick calculations between two points in the field it's a matter of simple subtraction to find out how many meters over and up (or down) you are from the first point. No complicated conversions necessary. Values are shown as "Easting" first and "Northing" second. Each zone has 500,000 meters as the center (central meridian: "longitude") of the zone.
Thus, for the Easting value the numbers are prevented from going above or below six digits and negative numbers are not possible. For example, at the equator, where the zones are the widest, the Easting values range from 167000 meters to 833000 meters. The Northing value is the distance in meters from the equator.
Decimal degrees (DDD.DDDDD) is by far the easiest and fastest way to use lat/long coordinates and is much easier to enter into any navigation program or Google Earth than the more laborious entry of DMS or DDD MM.MMM.
It's user preference, but if you deal intensively with maps/navigation the decimal degree system is the way to go.
Ooops, sorry. But I did warn you.
As Badknees can tell you from last year's trip report, always double-check any navigational information I post. I have some sort of geographical dysgraphia that causes me to invert/convert/subvert everything I write. It's been a severe occupational hazard. I can read and use navigational tools; I just can't write about them.
The correct coordinates for the feeder/guzzler station on the Adams Ranch, per my Holux logger, are 29 23 3810N, 102 50 5513W. You can actually see it was written correctly in my journal if you look closely. I mis-transcribed it when posting my trip report, to the tune of 5 degrees, exactly as Badknees deduced.
A word about my writing process. We're in Albuquerque right now, on our traditional post-Christmas week with the in-laws. I'm composing on a laptop that isn't mine, late in the evenings, on a crowded dining table where 8 other people are raucously playing cards or boardgames. Take my usual geographic dysgraphia and multiply it by ten.
I'll end my trip report by attaching a CalTopo version of my routes and that should clear up most, if not all, questions.
The correct coordinates for the feeder/guzzler station on the Adams Ranch, per my Holux logger, are 29 23 3810W, 102 50 5513N.
See? I did it again. I need an intern.
Thanks for that! I know you are a wild child, but I was trying to figure out how you crossed over the Deadhorse without any drama!!!
The Holux easily fits in the palm of your hand (I have had one for a while). It's not much bigger than the AA battery that powers it and it's basically a data logger. It doesn't have a lot of features. But it's light and it works. It also last a surprisingly long time on a AA battery. The newest version has Bluetooth and will talk to a phone. Battery life - With Bluetooth and logging - 20 hours. 30 hours if it's just logging. Not bad.

Wilfredo has been a helpful member of our forums for quite a while. He contributed an excellent article titled IT Project Management and Certifications right at the time we decided to consider adding project management certs to our site. In addition to his timely article, he also recently passed the PMP certification, so when he volunteered to moderate our PMP forum, we simply couldn't say no.
I am currently employed as a Sr. Business Analyst for Wyndham Worldwide. I also own my own IT consulting company JLS Technology USA. I have been working on computers since my father first brought home a Tandy 1000 and I gave up my dream of being a doctor to pursue a career in computers. I started out selling computers at Circuit City until I finally got my first IT break working my way up the ladder at Iron Mountain. I left Iron Mountain as a Field Systems Engineer for an opportunity as an Infrastructure Manager for a rapidly growing midsized business before my present opportunity. Along the way I went back to school for my degree in Information Technology and obtained many certifications. I was a student teacher at the University of Phoenix for a Windows Networking course. My key to certification success is to build a home lab, break it fix it, rinse and repeat. My ultimate goal is to become a CTO/CIO for a fortune 1000 company by the age of 35. My Hobbies include Church, Computers, and spending time with loved ones.

Golden Eagles Out of NCAA
March 23, 2009 By WRN Contributor
Missouri edged Marquette 83-69 on Sunday to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. The Golden Eagles trailed by as many as 16 points in the game but rallied to take a four point lead with less than two minutes left in the 2nd half. The Tigers came back and took the lead on a pair of free throws by freshman Kim English who shot free throws with 5.5 seconds left for JT Tiller who was shaken up when he was fouled. Lazar Hayward stepped over the baseline trying to inbound the ball and MU goes home. Jerel McNeal led the way with 30 points. Wes Matthews added 24. Dominic James retunrned from a broken foot to play, but he did not score.

Legality, costs, and other critical information!
As I prepare for my first experience with Ayahuasca, concerns and doubts naturally arise by the lack of detailed neutral information. This book has given me peace of mind, something that is essential for this coming journey.
This is a very good and accurate representation. Highly recommend it for those curious or wanting clarification.
However the narrator mispronounces many words and if this intended to be accurate and helpful it would help to have acceptable pronunciations.
I didn't even bother to finish this audiobook, boring, uber repetitive with not real experiences, the intro took forever with the disclosures, just move on something less technical and more realistic. The voice is also monotone and not exciting at all. 1 star is too much. You're welcome.
A short review over all ayahuasca myths and real facts. Recommended for beginners and curious people.
Loved the serious, yet heartfelt and loving offering in this book! Details on what to do and what not to do if one is going to have this experience was really great. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to expand their horizons about the substances.
Mispronunciation of some chemical names. Otherwise a good delivery of important information. Have recommended this to two people.
This is really too short and basic for my needs. Watching a documentary in Youtube will give you plenty more info and knowledge.

New One-Dose Flu Drug Shows Promise
THURSDAY, Sept. 6, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental single-dose flu drug shows promise as a new way to alleviate the misery of influenza, researchers say.
The drug -- called baloxavir -- worked better than no treatment in one phase of a new study. The study also found it as effective as the current standard drug, oseltamivir (Tamiflu), at controlling symptoms such as coughing, sore throat, headache, fever, muscle and joint pain, and fatigue.
Moreover, in light of concerns about flu-drug resistance, most patients treated with baloxavir responded as expected, the study authors said.
"There are few approved influenza antivirals, and current treatments have limitations," said study lead author Dr. Frederick Hayden, of the University of Virginia School of Medicine.
"For example, currently circulating influenza viruses are resistant to the older class of antivirals," he said. These include the drugs amantadine (brand name Symmetrel) and rimantadine (Flumadine).
Resistance is also growing to the class of drugs including widely used Tamiflu and Relenza (zanamivir), Hayden said. "Consequently, there are medical needs for new anti-influenza agents with different mechanisms of action and greater potency," he added.
Hayden, professor emeritus of clinical virology and medicine, said the new study indicates that baloxavir resolves flu symptoms as quickly, effectively and safely as current options, without yet raising concerns about resistance. It also demonstrated "significantly greater antiviral effects," he added.
Also, while Tamiflu must be taken twice a day for five days, baloxavir requires just one dose.
The investigation was funded by the drug company Shionogi, Inc., which developed and manufactures baloxavir.
Baloxavir is approved for use in Japan. In the United States, it remains an "investigational drug," with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration expected to decide on approval by the end of this year.
The new study, which was published Sept. 6 in the New England Journal of Medicine, unfolded in two trials, both involving otherwise healthy flu patients at low risk for influenza complications.
One trial was conducted during the 2015-2016 flu season. About 400 patients, aged 20 to 64, received one of three doses of baloxavir (ranging from 10 to 40 milligrams) or a placebo. Flu symptoms eased notably faster among all three baloxavir groups, compared with placebo (untreated) patients, the findings showed.
The following flu season, nearly 1,100 patients, aged 12 to 64, were treated with baloxavir or Tamiflu. The drugs relieved symptoms in roughly the same time period, with similar side-effect risk.
However, about 10 percent of the baloxavir patients had a less than robust response to the drug. Hayden acknowledged that "the clinical and public health implications of reduced susceptibility to baloxavir are not fully understood."
Dr. Timothy Uyeki, author of an accompanying journal editorial, heads the influenza division at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
"There is a need for antiviral drugs with new mechanisms of action," he agreed.
Uyeki highlighted the benefit of baloxavir's single-dose regimen. Besides its convenience, it "avoids concerns about compliance with a five-day treatment course of oseltamivir," he said.
But he also stressed the need for further testing.
It remains unclear what benefits might accrue from combining baloxavir with Tamiflu, Uyeki noted.
Also, he cautioned, the current research only included otherwise healthy people aged 12 to 64 who were not at high risk for flu complications. Whether baloxavir will benefit high-risk groups -- young children, the elderly, pregnant women and others with underlying chronic medical conditions -- remains unknown, Uyeki said.
"A lot more studies are needed of the clinical benefit of baloxavir treatment of influenza in high-risk outpatients," he added.
There's more on flu treatment at the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

The Fed is at the centre of market discussions first thing this morning as the markets try and decipher yesterday's testimony from Janet Yellen. The major theme stated that the Fed would be unlikely to change their stance on rate hikes despite market turmoil with Janet Yellen going as far as to say that the recent moves in the stock market are signs of a healthy correction. Stock markets have plunged further on the open this morning after the news from the Fed with yet again banking stocks across Europe dominating with Soc Gen falling over 13% after missing earnings expectations.
The bigger moves are coming out of the currency markets this morning after the Riksbank in Sweden cut the repo rate and advised that the rate could go lower still. The repo rate was cut by a further 15bp to -0.50%, with any move lower in benchmark inflation rate likely to signalling more easing of policy. Although not directly correlated to the wider market we did seem to get the moves after this announcement with USDJPY extending the losses even further while EURUSD pushed through 1.1350. Gold prices are yet again flying higher as the risk aversion dominates with moves through key upside levels to trade close to $1,220, this comes after calls that $1,000 was still on the cards.
Overall the Fed is looking like an excuse for markets this morning, with nothing particularly dovish or Hawkish from Yellen yesterday. Stock markets have fallen as worries about debt continue within European banks, and have been exacerbated by poor earnings from Soc Gen. The pressure is likely to continue later into the session as we await import export and weekly jobs numbers out of the US, but with Wall Street futures pointing to a weaker open later this afternoon, it may well take something big to turn markets positive.
