A global beacon on climate change – Harvard Gazette
By Alvin Powell October 27, 2022 Climate Change No Comments4 Mins Read
Even that distress, however, points to the importance of an all-encompassing approach, according to Daniel Schrag, the Sturgis Hooper Professor of Geology and director of the Harvard University Center for the Environment. During a panel discussion on Wednesday afternoon at Radcliffe's Knafel Center, Schrag recounted a discussion with Matthew Potts, Plummer Professor of Christian Morals, about his freshman seminar, "Apocalyptic Grief: Love, Loss, and the End of the World," and the importance of dealing not just with facts and policy but also with hope, despair, and other emotions in the face of war, pandemic, the climate crisis, and problems that at times seem ready to overwhelm us.
Schrag said that often during discussions of the geologic timescale of the changes we are making — it can take 100,000 years for carbon we're putting in the atmosphere to be removed by natural processes — students nearly despair over the possibility of finding a solution. And, though every day we delay makes the problem worse, it is also true, he said, that it's never going to be too late.
"It's never too late for us to act on climate system. There's no threshold beyond which we shouldn't act. We have an obligation to keep working to solve this problem, whatever the impacts are," Schrag said. "We have an obligation to continue to work on the social justice issues associated with this problem, whatever impacts happen."
The panel, moderated by Jody Freeman, Archibald Cox Professor of Law and director of the Energy and Environmental Law Program, also included Caroline Buckee, professor of epidemiology; Bridget Long, dean of the Graduate School of Education; Naomi Oreskes, Henry Charles Lea Professor of the History of Science; Robert Stavins, A.J. Meyer Professor of Energy & Economic Development and director of the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements; and Michael Toffel, the Senator John Heinz Professor of Environmental Management at Harvard Business School.
Panelists described a range of different impacts in their disciplines, as well as activity going on at Harvard in those areas. Long said climate change is an important issue in America's schools, both as a subject for instruction and a factor affecting learning: A 100-degree heat wave last spring struck while schools — including many without air conditioning — were in session. In addition, she said, schools are an important institution because, while decentralized, they stretch across America, penetrating every community. They are enormous consumers of electricity, cover some 2 million acres of land, and operate approximately 7 million buses, making the choices of education leaders important in enacting solutions.
While interdisciplinarity is important, the event also offered a snapshot of climate science and policy. The good news, Stavins said, is that governments around the world have committed to address the problem, with those representing 97 percent of global admissions signed onto the Paris Accord. The bad news is that their commitments to reduce emissions are nowhere close to what will be needed to keep warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius over preindustrial levels, a threshold below which experts believe the worst effects of climate change can be averted. Efforts, he said, are turning to how to raise those levels of commitment.
Schrag and Oreskes said that the science has moved past the now-settled debate over the problem's roots in fossil-fuel burning to advances in "attribution science," which determine how much climate change influences weather events, and in forecasting what shifts to expect.
Though the scientific debate over climate change has been settled for some time, Oreskes said it isn't over in many parts of the country. Misinformation and disinformation are still a problem, and another significant hurdle is the fact that fossil fuel extraction provides lots of jobs, and, though there are promises of retraining, people holding those jobs only have to look to America's Rust Belt to see how well they were kept in the past.
"We can have the best science in the world, but if people don't accept it and act on it, it doesn't matter," Oreskes said.
Stock, who offered closing remarks, said the new institute will be operating at a time of transformational change, both in the climate and in society, as energy-source transitions and other climate-related changes accelerate. The transition should be approached, he said, with an eye not just to problems, but also to the opportunities to address inequities in society.
"It's hard to imagine how vast and consequential the next 30 years will be," Stock said.

Old Havana Casino is restricted in your country.
Old Havana Casino is a Cuban-themed online casino with instant-play capability. It is run by the Mainstreet group of casinos, one of the largest and longest-running RTG casino operators in the business. The casino is licensed by the jurisdiction of Panama.
Old Havana Casino offers the entire library of games from Real Time Gaming. The instant-play version offers a smaller, lower-quality selection. The largest assortment of games are the slots, which include both bonus video slots and classic three-reel games. Among the most popular games are Cleopatra's Gold, T-Rex, Aztec's Treasure, The London Inspector, and Loch Ness Loot, along with progressive slots like Shopping Spree and Jackpot Piñatas.
While slots make up most of Old Havana Casino's games, plenty of table games are available as well. The casino offers a number of different blackjack and roulette variants, including European Blackjack, Face Up 21, Pontoon, French roulette, and Multiplayer roulette. Other games include Vegas Three Card Rummy, baccarat, Three Card Poker, craps, and three types of Caribbean pokers.
The video poker assortment at Old Havana Casino is one of the largest in our listings. The casino features standard variants like Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Joker Poker, and Bonus Poker, as well as some much more obscure games. These include Pick 'em Poker, Mystery Bonus Poker, and Double Double Jackpot Poker. Many of the games can be played in both single-hand and multi-hand denominations.
Overall, we are pleased with the level of customer service at Old Havana Casino. They feature 24/7 live chat directly on their website and inside their casino software. This enables players to get in touch with a representative in a matter of seconds. Alternatively, players can also call the casino with their toll-free North American number, or use the casino's email address to get assistance through email.
Old Havana Casino employs all the necessary security measures to keep players safe. Most importantly, they use 128-bit SSL encryption when any sensitive information is exchanged. This technology prevents anyone from being able to read your data as it travels through the Internet. Additionally, all credit card payments are handled by an independent finance company that uses the latest anti-fraud systems.
The Real Time Gaming platform used by Old Havana Casino is one of the oldest game platforms around, so it's no surprise that it has been thoroughly audited several times over the years. TST is one of the main auditors of RTG casinos, and Old Havana Casino features a TST seal on their website. While this seal does not link to a full report, there is plenty of evidence available to show RTG offers a fair game.
I like the games, they looked great and were playing just like they were suppose to for me.
I didnt like the fact that their max cashout on some of their bonuses, like the one I used at registration , are lower then their minimum cashout from the casino. So if you're max limit to cashout is lower than your minimum, as a casino, you'd never have to pay a player for winning on a no deposit bonus. Shady business right there if you ask me. I took a no deposit 20$ upon registration, I met the 1200$ wagering requirements, got to the max cashout limit of 50$, and found out about the minimum of 150$ during my attempted withdrawal. They said I need to deposit 120$, play in a total of 5X before I'm able to cash out the 50 I have won from the no deposit bonus. What? this casino may look good and run good, from my uneducated on the topic point of view, but the dealings and people behind the scenes are some shady characters . Stay away, from this one, there are much better places to play then Old Havana Casino.
It's nice layout games are smooth customer service was helpful.
There payouts are really slow it's been 2 weeks and no update they tell me that it's in process but that's what they tell everybody. I am hoping to get it soon cause I like the casino.
Great bonuses, up to 250%! on casino games--which is great for me cause I don't play slots. The game play is fair, I've gotten royal flushes & 4 ace hands a lot of times.
Cashed out $500 8-29, sent in documents every day excuses why they can't pay. Their processor is down, allegedly, although (unsurprisingly) they neglect to tell me this when they offer a bonus in my email. Deposits easily go through, but withdrawals take weeks. Not fair, I had to stop playing there.

Cleaning a brass lamp is not complicated and there are several solutions that can be used to restore your brass lamps to their original beauty and shine. While you can purchase different products on the market you can also use time tested home made methods to get the job done. This article will show you how to bring back and keep the look you want for all your brass and copper objects.
Brass (is an alloy of copper and zinc), just like copper, will oxidize with time. The good looks will tarnish and unsightly black or green spots might even appear. It would be easier if you could place the brass object in a very hot water bath for a few minutes then scrub it with coarse salt, rinse the object well under running water, dry and polish it. This is a method that is effective for all brass and copper objects, but with a lamp that includes electric components, it can present some problems.
To clean a brass lamp that cannot be submerged in water, you can give it a beauty mask! Make a thick paste to apply on the surface. Mix a cup of white vinegar, a cup of flower, and a 1/2 cup of salt. Apply the mixture to you brass lamp and leave it on for a few hours. It is important to rinse well to remove every particle of the mask. After a thorough rinse, dry well and polish with a soft cloth. Your brass lamp should shine as it did when it was new.
When your brass or copper only needs light cleaning, you can opt for lemon juice. Cut a lemon in half, sprinkle it with salt and scrub your brass lamp with it, paying a little attention to areas that might show aging spots. If you do not have a lemon handy, you can also use lemon juice from concentrate, and pour it on a soft cloth and rub the lamp with it. It is another effective method to clean brass and copper. For little decorative chiseling that you cannot reach, you can squeeze a few drop of lemon juice and scrub with an old toothbrush. This method will allow you to get rid of the black accumulation in the chiseling.
Another product to clean a brass lamp can be found in your kitchen, an onion can accomplish the task. Cut the onion in half and rub it all over the lamp, removing part of the onion as it becomes black while you rub. To finish, make your brass lamp shine with a soft cloth. This last method is a quick way to clean your brass lamps regularly to keep them bright and shiny day after day.

Is there anything better than a bowl of fresh, hand-made pasta?
The birth of a child has to be up there, your dog, when you graduated from so and so school, your first kiss?
Nope! They all pale in comparison to pasta.
Now where to find such a uniquely delightful thing?
Well, it turns out that a small no-frills restaurant in Logan Square is a good bet.
Especially when the pasta looks like this.
My favorite pasta – of the four I've tried – is the Parpadelle. It's not fancy-shmancy…but I like that. To me, you just can't beat a perfectly-executed homemade pasta with a garlicky-rich tomato meat sauce.
Another star of the menu is a – gasp! – vegetarian one. The squash salad. As an omnivore with a penchant for meat, I'm not the type to typically get excited about vegetarian options, but c'mon, it has a texture like pasta and the dressing was the perfect blend of acidity, sweet, and sour. They absolutely nailed it, and it's been perfect on two seperate occasions. Consistency FTW!
Speaking of vegetables, the fried rutabaga was our table's dark horse. Deep fried seasoned-to-perfection rutabaga (rutabaga, what!?) with a sauce that looked a bit like cat puke, but once tasted, made the mind reel in delight.
Fried rutabaga. See what I mean about the sauce?
If I have to nitpick about the food, my complaint would be that multiple dishes were heavy on the pan-fried Brussel sprouts. I don't want to call it a crutch, but pan-fried Brussels sprouts almost ALWAYS taste good…and usually overpower the other flavors in the dish. Without realizing it, we ordered two dishes heavy with Brussels. The flavor profiles of the two dishes – the ravioli and a pork loin special – were basically exactly the same. It would have been nice to get a heads up from our server on this.
But the pasta is just so, so good. Hand-made. Bursting with flavor. And the cheese, oh, the cheese.
Also, bonus points need to be awarded for the host who looks just like Henry Cavill. Both time I've been to Daisies he stopped by our table to chat about the food and crack jokes. The guy is very good at his job.
I just don't want to look back and think "I could've eaten that."
Note: I will never, ever spam you or provide your info to a 3rd party.

Immigration officials may not have intentionally misled lawmakers or the public about the controversial Se Communities immigration enforcement program, but their communication strategy was a mess, according to an investigation by Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General. The OIG investigation was requested last year by California's Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat from San Jose, after states and local jurisdictions trying to withdraw from the federal fingerprint-sharing program began learning they could not. It's one of two new OIG reports related to Se Communities, the other addressing the program's operations. The communications analysis is perhaps the most interesting of the two, among other things examining the Se Communities memorandums of agreement, called MOAs, which states and jurisdictions signed after the program began rolling out in late 2008.
Homeland Security Department officials stoked confusion among state and local jurisdictions over whether participation in a program to match arrestee fingerprint data against a federal immigration database was voluntary, medical a DHS office of inspector general report says. As a result, the data sharing effort, known as Se Communities, "continues to face opposition, criticism, and resistance in some locations," the report states.

A pioneering new study has been published that investigates global trends in ship emissions, using a novel AI method to catalogue over one million ship tracks. This research establishes the first clear evidence of a global cloud response to changes in environmental regulations.
Atlantic ship tracks | European Space Agency
Ship tracks are the clouds that form around ship exhaust plumes in still air. As ships travel they emit pollution particles into the atmosphere, such as 13% of the global emissions of sulphur dioxide, that can act as seeding for clouds. Water condenses around these 'seeds' creating long, narrow, vivid clouds that follow the path taken by the vessel.
These bright cloud lines can be seen in satellite imagery and they are usually made up of smaller water droplets, causing increased light scattering and therefore, making the tracks look brighter and more reflective than standard cloud formations over sea.
Ship tracks reflect sunlight helping to cool the planet, offsetting some of the warming effects of greenhouse gases. However, the magnitude of this effect is the largest uncertainty in determining changes in the Earth's radiative balance caused by human activity.
By studying ship tracks scientists are able to gain a better understanding of the impact of sulphate aerosols and the radiative effect of clouds in remote locations, far away from other human influences. However, over the years the clouds have been arduous to catalogue and typically studied only in particular regions for short periods of time.
This study used state-of-the-art satellite machine-learning to automate ship track detection and the team. Led by the University of Oxford in partnership with Plymouth Marine Laboratory (via the NEODAAS service) and Imperial College London, catalogued more than one million ship tracks over a 20 year period to provide a global climatology.
This was then used to investigate the effect of stringent fuel regulations introduced by the International Maritime Organization in 2020 on the ship track's global prevalence since then, whilst accounting for the disruption in global commerce caused by COVID-19.
The analysis showed a marked but clearly nonlinear decline in ship tracks globally; an 80% reduction in emissions of sulphur oxides causes a 25% reduction in the number of tracks detected. In real terms, about 40k ship tracks were formed every year until 2020, when the fuel regulations were introduced, then the number dropped to 30k. This research has highlighted the need to consider the wider impacts of environmental regulation that could affect climate change mitigation and global climate models.
Dr Duncan Watson-Parris of the University of Oxford and lead author of the study commented: "Air pollution must be reduced for human health reasons. But our analysis demonstrates that such policies must be accompanied by determined action against global warming, to compensate for the loss of the cooling effect from human aerosols."
The ship track dataset generated for this study is the largest dataset to date produced by Plymouth Marine Laboratory's MAssive GPU Cluster for Earth Observation (MAGEO) system and was required to process over 250TB of raw data from the MODIS sensor, flown on the NASA Aqua satellite. The dataset is being made available via CEDA for use by other researchers.
Angus Laurenson, NEODAAS Data Analyst at Plymouth Marine Laboratory, said: "It was great to work with scientists at the University of Oxford and Imperial College London to deploy this model at scale. We put MAGEO through its paces on a genuinely 'big' dataset and I think it is a neat demonstration of how AI and machine-learning can be utilized to conduct research that is otherwise infeasible."
Sulphur dioxide is a colourless gas with an irritating pungent odour and is a common air pollutant. It is produced naturally by active volcanoes and forest fires, however, the majority of sulphur dioxide present in the environment is due to the burning of coal and oil, such as in traditional power stations. Shipping, motor vehicles, domestic boilers and fires also release sulphur dioxide into the environment. Breathing in sulphur dioxide causes irritation of the nose and throat. Exposure to higher concentrations can cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pain and corrosive damage to the airways and lungs.
'Shipping regulations lead to large reduction in cloud perturbations' is published in PNAS
The paper was published as part of the Atmospheric Composition and Radiative forcing changes due to UN International Ship Emissions regulations (ACRUISE) project, read more about the project here
The dataset is available here
Computing resources for running the inference and funding supports were provided through the NERC Earth Observation Data Analysis and AI Service (NEODAAS), which is overseen by the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO)

2015 Conference USA Women's Swimming Championships and Men's Invitational
Wednesday, February 18- Saturday, February 21
Knoxville, TN- Allan Jones Aquatic Center
Prelims/Finals Wednesday 2 PM (diving)/6 PM, Thursday-Saturday 10:30 AM/6 PM (Eastern Time Zone)
Note: the women's meet is the Conference USA Championship, while the men's meet is the "Conference USA Invitational," awarding a meet title but no official conference crown.
Women's Session
Saturday night features the final night of competition that would end with a Conference USA Champion being crowned. Rice looked to climb back into second place, and they got off to a solid start with senior Erin Flanigan's victory in the 1650 (16:27.98). Platform diving was up next and FIU's Lily Kaufmann was able to win and help here school to start to build up their lead in the team scores. WKU only had one diver finish in the top 8, so Rice didn't lose a lot of ground in the process.
Freshman powerhouse Silvia Scalia (FIU) was then able to race to an impressive 1:53.80 in the 200 back. This broke the FIU school record that had previously been held by Scalia's current teammate Johanna Gustafsdottir. Scalia should get an invite to NCAAs with that drop tonight. FAU junior Agi Bucz then won the next event with a 49.01 in the 100 free. Casey Clark (Rice) ended up in second by stopping the clock in a 49.01.
Veteran swimmers took up the top spots on the podium in the 200 breast. Claire Conlon from WKU wasn't able to complete the breaststroke sweep as Johanna Gustafsdottir finished on top in a 2:12.35. Conlon took out the first 100 in an impressive 1:01.81, but Gustafsdottir's patience worked to her advantage in the end.
WKU senior Susan Marquess pushed the final event of the meet from the start and ended up winning the 200 fly (1:56.91). This time came very close to the school record that was set by Olympian Claire Donahue back in 2009 (1:56.41). The meet was then finished out by a 400 free relay victory by FIU (3:18.85). The team of Silvia Scalia, Paulina Zelazna, Jenny Deist, and Joahanna Gustafsdottier were able to better the FIU school record by almost two seconds.
At the end of the meet FIU was able to come out on top and defeat two time defending champions Rice University by 104 points. Rice was able to climb out of the hole that they had created from an unfortunately 400 medley relay DQ earlier in the meet. That and diving ended up being the difference maker as FIU was crowed the Conference USA Champion.
Men's Session
In a very tight race, WKU was able to come away with the Conference USA Invitational meet title for the Second year in a row with a slim 15 point margin over ODU. Daniel McGee (WKU) won the first event of the night with a 15:30.40 in the 1650. This ended up being an eleven second victory of ODU's Bernardo Figueiredo. WKU then continued their victory streak with a 1:46.15 200 back win by John Myhre. This was led by a final that included a field that was half composed of WKU swimmers. Platform diving was then won by WKU's Zach Batus, but ODU had divers finish in 2nd and 3rd.
The 100 free was won by Mattheiu Burtez in a time that bettered the FAU school record (43.48). Burtez dropped over two seconds from his prelim swim, and was able to step up when it counted tonight. WKU was then able to get back to the top of the podium with a 1:55.26 200 breast victory by Fabian Schwingenschlogl and second place finish by teammate Tj Bland (1:56.24).
Ending out individual events for the Conference USA Invitational Reed Mathews finished over four seconds ahead of the nearest competitor in the 200 fly with a 1:44.65. This time would have been good enough to make NCAAs in 2013, but in 2014 the last invite swimmer was a 1:43.81. Although an impressive swim, the 1:44.65 might not be enough for Mathews to get the invite.
FAU was able to win the final relay in a time of 2:59.47. The team was lead off by 100 free champion Burtz, but it was too little too late as WKU had already clinched the team title. This invitational for the men saw many lead changes and all the WKU swimmers/divers had to find to the end in order to pull out the overall win.

Curing Erectile Dysfunction
April 27, 2008	by David Mendosa
Guys named Ed probably don't feel honored to have one of the most devastating complications of diabetes named after then. But erectile dysfunction — or just ED for short — is both personally ego-destroying and all too common. At least they don't say nowadays that ED is the same as impotence.
From 15 million to 30 million American men suffer from it, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). That U.S. Government agency also estimates that between one-third and one-half of men with diabetes have ED.
For something this important to the good life, it's not surprising that we have many treatment choices. The first line of approach is to quit smoking, lose excess weight, and increase exercise.
If that doesn't do the trick, then injections, pumps, and implants are other options that have been available for years. But it wasn't until 10 years ago that drug options became available.
You know of the names of these three drugs, so I won't mention them here. In fact, if I did, this site wouldn't show them because they are banned words, partly because so much spam goes out in their names.
Neither will I explicitly describe what ED is. If you or your partner has it, you know what I mean. But I know from many messages that men with ED and their wives are desperate for a cure for ED and that even these drugs don't often work.
The anonymity of the Internet has the wonderful advantage of letting men who suffer from ED discuss their problem with a total stranger. It's easier, in fact, to talk about it with somebody you don't know than with someone whom you might think would snicker at you behind your back.
The drugs and other medical options sold to conquer ED are stop-gap remedies. They can provide temporary relief. And like other treatments, they have their costs, which in dollars can be substantial, since insurance rarely if ever covers them.
These costs, according to the manufacturer of the most popular of these drugs, also include side effects. They can include a sudden decrease or loss of vision or of hearing. That's rare, but no minor matter.
No one who takes nitrates — like nitroglycerin for chest pain — even once in a while should take this drug. The most common side effects are headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach. Less commonly, you may have bluish or blurred vision or sensitivity to light.
With these costs, why then are these drugs so popular? Simply because they provide such an ego-boosting service.
These drugs treat the symptoms. But you can treat the cause. You can cure ED.
Generally, the longer you have had diabetes the longer it will take to cure ED. That's because ED results from neuropathy or vascular disease or both. And neuropathy comes in two forms.
If your blood glucose levels have been elevated for years, you may have autonomic neuropathy, which the actual destruction of nerves causes. Dr. Richard K. Bernstein, the author of Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution, gave the best explanation I've ever heard of the causes and treatments of erectile dysfunction on one of his recent webcasts. (His next webcast is April 30; for details you can check my "Diabetes Update" newsletter.)
If your neuropathy is autonomic, the nerves have to regrow. That takes time, but isn't impossible.
"In a young, healthy non-diabetic, nerves regrow at the rate of a millimeter a day," Dr. Bernstein explained. "So to get from the tip of your toe to your spine might be one meter — a thousand millimeters. That would be a thousand days and if you were in poor health and older, it might be two thousand days."
On the other hand, if your blood glucose level hasn't been too high for years and years, your neuropathy could be simply metabolic. By bringing your blood glucose level down to normal you can reverse metabolic neuropathy "in a matter of weeks," he says.
But the cause of ED might not be either metabolic or autonomic neuropathy. It might be due to vascular disease as well as or instead of neuropathy.
If the cause is vascular, the problem becomes more difficult, Dr. Bernstein says. But you can reverse vascular disease too. He knows, because he reversed his own vascular disease.
Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1946, his blood glucose levels were high and uncontrolled for many years until about 1973. "I had a number of bits of evidence of vascular disease before I started controlling my blood sugars. It certainly did serious damage to my kidneys."
Maybe just as important, Dr. Bernstein started doing strenuous cardiovascular exercise in the early 1970s. Studies show that this can reverse atherosclerosis.
"I had one of these high-speed electron beam tomographic studies done a couple of years ago," he says. "And this measures the amount of calcification of the coronary arteries. The score at this particular institution was 0 to 100. Zero means no calcification, 100 means the most severe form. And I had a score of 1, with one little fleck. At that time I was 72 years old and diabetic just below 60 years, I guess. And here had almost no vascular disease."
If you have had diabetes for a long time and are well over the age of 40, you probably have both vascular disease and neuropathy, Dr. Bernstein says. He distinguishes between these two problems by measuring penile blood pressure. If it's low, it means that the problem is vascular.
He also uses an EKG machine to do an R-R interval study of the vagus nerve. This measures the time elapsing between two consecutive R waves in the electrocardiogram."If that is grossly abnormal, it means you have neuropathic problems." Then, they confirm the results of the R-R interval study with a complete pelvic neurologic exam.
Whether the cause of ED is metabolic neuropathy, anatomic neuropathy, or vascular disease, you can cure it. Conveniently, maintaining normal blood glucose and doing strenuous exercise are exactly what we all need to do to control our diabetes.

Hungarian archaeologists
Medieval shipwreck found in Danube river
By Rossela Lorenzi - Discovery News
Hungarian archaeologists have found what they believe may be an intact medieval shipwreck in the Danube river.
Partially buried in mud and gravel near the riverbank at Tahitótfalu, some 18 miles north of Budapest, the flat bottom river wreck has yet to be excavated.
A preliminary survey from the Argonauts Research Group in cooperation with the county museum of Szentendre, revealed that the ship is about 40 feet long and 10 feet wide.
The archaeologists could distinguish oak floor-planks, floor-timbers, and L-shaped ribs.
They also noticed that the junction piece of the bottom and the side wall of the wreck is carved from a single log.
"Only a few river ships of this kind have been found in Europe," Attila J. Tóth, associate of the National Office of Cultural Heritage, told Discovery News.
The ship most likely sank because of an accident.
"River navigation was dangerous. Downstream cargo ships floated using large rudder-oars, which made maneuvering very hard. Accidents happened very often," Tóth said.
The largest river of Central Europe, the Danube connected in the Middle Ages Hungary with the German Empire to the west and the Byzantine Empire to the south, serving as a waterway for intense commerce as well as a route for military campaigns.

Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (1863?1923) was the leading Spanish painter of his day, world-famous when Picasso was still struggling to establish a name. This sumptuously illustrated book traces Sorolla's career at home and abroad, focusing on more than 60 canvases. These include portraits, landscapes, the bathers and seascapes for which he is most famous, and genre scenes of Spanish life.
His monumental early works established the artist's reputation as an unflinching social realist. Sending pictures strategically to major exhibitions across Europe, Sorolla depicted peasants, fishermen, and sail-makers eking out meager existences; young women forced into prostitution; and naked, disabled orphans. Rarely had Impressionist technique been turned to such provocative ends. As Sorolla found a wealthy clientele toward the turn of the century, his focus turned to sun-drenched scenes of leisure and elegant sociability: beautiful women stroll in fashionable resorts and children gambol on the seashore. Here, leading scholars offer a contemporary assessment of his career and explore Sorolla's relations with the most famous bravura painters of the day, including John Singer Sargent and the Swedish artist Anders Zorn. An illustrated chronology by Blanca Pons Sorolla, the artist's great-granddaughter, provides additional information.
Gabriele Finaldi is director of the National Gallery, London.

So I remember being told by GrapeCollects that some die chips have a premium if you can convince people of their variety, for instance, giving names to them. Here are a few that I have, I'm pretty sure they have no value at all, but who knows? Maybe there's a variety of die chip I have that may be considered "cool."
People will buy the "BIE" Die Chips and sometimes the filled numbers in the date. The "BIEs" do carry a very small premium of 2 dollars.
Oh alright, good to know, is the 1955 a BIE die chip? It does seem to be but I'm not good at these things.
Wow. A 1958 LMCs. (Lincoln-Memorial-Cent) LOL On the 1950's Wheat cents the die chips are very common on them as they over used the dies at that time. Thus using the dies, until they died.
Yes, the 1955 D is a "BIE" Die Chip.
Um sorry? @Coop? What do you mean 1958 LMC? That picture was just a LWC 1958? Really confused right now what your trying to say Coop.
@SC, a small technical point, but when the coin has an entire area filled in by extra metal (like the top part of the number 8 on your '58 D cents), we say that the die had a broken post rather than calling it a die chip.
Title on thread. Early LMC And Late LWC Die Chips When I looked there were only LWCs (Lincoln-Wheat-Cents) at that time. Now you added of other coins.

Anguilla is an
attractive jurisdiction
for forming offshore companies because of its zero tax rates, confidentiality laws
and instantaneous registrations at a reasonable cost.
COMPANY FORMATION AND ADMINISTRATION
TAXATION & EXCHANGE CONTROL
Anguilla's main company types are:
The International Business Company ("IBC"), main features include:
Electronic registration.
Limited reporting requirements.
Only one director is required, which can be a corporate entity.
Records are not required to be filed with Company Registry.
No financial or audited statements required.
Meetings may be held anywhere by telephone or other electronic means.
Re-domiciliation permitted.
The Companies Act company (also known as an Anguillian Business Company), main features include:
Electronic registration via ACORN system with acceptance of electronic signatures.
Can be used both as an onshore and offshore vehicle.
Nominees may be utilized instead of beneficial owners.
Corporate meetings may be held anywhere by telephone or other electronic means.
No Anguillian shareholders or directors required.
Re-domiciliation permitted under Anguilla law.
Only one director and shareholder required and they can be the same person or entity.
Corporate directors and or shareholders allowed.
The Limited Liability Company (LLC)
Anguilla is one of the few jurisdictions to have an Act dealing specifically with limited liability companies. This act creates a legal entity that has features of both a company and partnership such as its ability to sue and be sued and provide limited liability to its members. The Anguilla LLC is modeled after Wyoming legislation, but offers many features not found in the original statute. If properly designed, the LLC can offer U.S. taxpayers assistance in structuring their business to minimize tax obligations as under U.S tax law only members are taxed, whereas a normal Company is taxed at both the member and corporate level.
The Insurance Act
In October 2004, an Insurance Act was enacted which introduced licensing provisions for any company carrying on the business of insurance in or from or out of Anguilla. The Act provides for two categories of licensing which are a General Class 'A' unlimited license and a Restricted Class 'B' license divided into several categories. The Class 'A' license is suited to general insurance business and the Class 'B' license to more limited types such as long term health care. In general, the Act incorporates the best provisions of similar acts in other jurisdictions whilst avoiding most of their shortcomings. This makes the business of reinsurance an attractive and competitive proposition in Anguilla.
The Protected Cell Company Act
In 2004, Anguilla enacted the Protected Cell Company Act which allowed a corporate entity to have separate "cells" which function separately from each other. Moreover, the debt and or liabilities of one "cell" cannot be attributed to another "cell" without the express permission of the other cell owners. This is an attractive and useful feature for insurance/captive insurance companies, mutual funds and asset protection structures.
Anguilla is truly a neutral tax jurisdiction. There are no income, capital gains, estate, profit or other forms of direct taxation on either individuals or corporations, whether resident in Anguilla or not. This makes Anguilla a very attractive location for financial services business and professionals.
There are no exchange controls in Anguilla, although the official currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, the United States Dollar is commonly used.
Registering a Trademark:
Trademarks are assigned through the Registrar of Companies for a period of 10 years and may be renewed for further periods of 10 years each. In addition to local registration, you may also apply for a registration based on a UK trade mark. Applications can be at any time during the life of the UK trade mark and will expire with UK trade mark. Failure to register or renew a trademark leads to a loss of rights and the risk of being registered by another company or person.
Trade and service marks can be registered in Anguilla under the Nice Classification system. Prior use is not necessary but non-use for five years following registration will subject the mark to an action for cancellation.
The Trademarks Act provides for trademark applications with registration dating from receipt of application. The Registration of UK Trade Marks Act provides for applications to extend rights under a UK registration to Anguilla with effect from the date of registration in the UK, but an action in Anguilla for infringement of a UK-based registration can only complain of infringement occurring after the date of registration in Anguilla.
International priority is available in Anguilla.
Registering a Patent
Registering a patent protects your right as an inventor to exclude others from profiting from your invention without your permission. Our legislation provides for Patents to be registered for a period of twenty years with an annual maintenance fee beginning one year after the date of filing the application.
Protection of European (EP) patents designating the UK has been extended to Anguilla, so that on proper application made in Anguilla, the proprietor of an EP patent designating the UK has the same rights as the proprietor of a UK patent. Also, Community Trade Marks registered in the UK may now be re-registered in Anguilla.
If you apply for a patent based on an existing UK patent, within 3 years of the UK date of issue, registration will normally be granted. The patent will expire with the UK patent.
If you apply for a patent based on an existing EP (UK) patent, within 3 years of UK date of issue, registration will normally be granted. The patent will expire with the EP (UK) patent.
The registration of ships is governed by the Merchant Shipping Act, Revised Statutes of Anguilla, Chapter M82. The Act gives an extensive definition of those persons who are qualified to be owners of Anguilla ships and includes the following:
Anguillian citizens;
Citizens or subjects of Britain or any of its overseas territories.
Persons who would be defined as British nationals (overseas) under the Hong Kong (British Nationality) Order 1986
Companies incorporated in any of the member states of the European Union or European Economic Area including the United Kingdom and having place of business in any such member state and registered in Anguilla;
Companies incorporated in any relevant British possession including Anguilla or any overseas territory of any of the member states of the European Union or the European Economic area and having a place of business in any such possession or territory and registered in Anguilla;
Companies incorporated in any member state of the Caribbean Community or the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States which have been registered in Anguilla.
Persons who do not fit into the above criteria may register a vessel in Anguilla if the majority interest (at least 51.6% of the shares – 33/64) is owned by a person or body corporate which fulfills the criteria outlined above. Foreign persons can also register a vessel by incorporating a company in Anguilla.
Where a ship is 24 metres in length or longer or if the person or persons who own the majority interest in the ship is not resident in Anguilla, the ship is entitled to be registered in Anguilla only if a representative in Anguilla is appointed in relation to the ship. The representative person can be a body corporate incorporated in Anguilla which has a place of business there.

Africa: How Nigerian Govt Officials diverted $800 Million from Secret Oil sale

How Nigerian Govt Officials diverted $800 Million from Secret Oil sale
About 100million barrels of crude oil illegally shipped from Nigeria in 2015, kept in tank farms in Qingdao, China's eastern Shandong Province, was secretly sold for $800million, and the money shared by ranking members of the President Mohammadu Buhari cabal, investigations have revealed.
Buhari's late Chief of Staff, Mallam Abba Kyari, Late Group General Manager, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Maikanti Baru, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, Minister for Power, Saleh Mamman, as well as the current GMD, NNPC, Mele Kayi were reported to have shared of the $800 million.
Also reported to have participated in the sharing was the now suspended acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, Air Commodore Mohammed Umar Rtd, former Director-General, State Security Services, Mallam Lawal Daura.
Codenamed "The China Deal" illegal crude oil sale has become a subject of litigation in far-away Mexico following the refusal of the cabal to pay 5% of the value of 48 million barrels to SAMANO, an Americo- Mexican company that discovered the abandoned crude in Qingdao, Zhoushan and Rizhao, both in China.
Our Sources said that shortly before the 2015 general elections, several vessels of crude left the shores of Nigeria for China. By the time the crude berthed in the Chinese Port in Qingdao, oil buyers backed off after learning of a change of government.
According to source, the crude which had been discharged in several tank farms in the port city of Qingdao, Zhoushan, and Rizhao, were abandoned.
Upon Buhari's inauguration, sources in Mexico said, SAMANO approached certain officials of the new administration, alerting them of the Nigerian crude oil abandoned in China.
According to a court paper exclusively obtained by our correspondent, we received a letter in August 2016 from Hamman Saleh, now Minister of Power, through his company, Northon Oil and Gas Services, inviting them to Nigeria to meet with Government officials to discuss the matter.
Sources confirmed to us that the invitation letter to SAMANO came after the company refused to send details of the found crude via electronic means.
A team from SAMANO, Mexico, led by Messrs. José Salazar Tinajero, arrived in Nigeria. He was accompanied by A. Nick Cadena, and Juan Carlos Jaramillo García, and they held a meeting at No 1 Gado Nasko Close, Asokoro, Abuja, the home of Air Commodore Umar, a close ally of President Buhari.
Sources told us that after the meeting, and with Buhari's approval, Umar and other members of the cabal, including Mele Kyari, then GGM Crude, NNPC, set out to locate the crude oil
Sources said when Umar and Kyari got to China, they connived with others back in Nigeria and agreed to declare that the information was a hoax and that there was no crude oil in any of the tank farms in China.
According to a sworn affidavit, Umar and late Abba Kyari had assured SAMANO of 5 percent of the total value of 48 million barrels of crude oil found. However, to their shock, between October and November 2015, SAMANO officials who had returned to Mexico, received intelligence from China that the crude had been sold.
The affidavit claimed that when SAMANO confronted the Nigerian government about their own share of the sale of the crude, they were rebuffed and some of their officials blackmailed, arrested, and locked up in Nigeria.
The affidavit alleged that the GMD NNPC, Mr. Kyari, had told a SAMANO representative via WhatsApp chat that the late Abba Kyari and Umar had taken advantage of the information they provided and sold-off the crude and that they should forget about the deal, promising to make things up for SAMANO.
A very reliable source told us that after the sale, the Nigerian officials shared the proceeds and told President Buhari that the buyers were no longer willing to buy the crude because it had no DNA.
According to the sources, crude oil secretly shipped to China in 2015 was over 100 million barrels. SAMANO was only able to trace 48 million barrels. The cabal was said to have found an additional 52 million barrels stored in other tank farms in China and sold them off.
SAMANO's lawyer, Joaquin Esparza Mendez, told our source that the Mexican Court could not continue with the matter for lack of jurisdiction. He said the Judge had advised they file the case in Nigeria since the Whistleblowers Act for which they are relying on is domiciled in Nigeria.
Sources informed us that officials of SAMANO have no faith in the Nigerian judicial system and are very unlikely to file the case there. Instead, the Mexican company is said to be preparing to file the matter in a court in London once the pandemic is over.

Just to prove that America, at least American liberal Democrat politicians, are still influential in the world and trend-setters everywhere, the liberal French politician, Emmanuel Macron, who last weekend won the Presidency of France, is claiming that the Russians have attempted to upset and disrupt his political campaign, just like they did to our Hillary, in her loss to Donald Trump last year.
On this particular point of campaign disruption one has to pity the poor Russians. For the last 60 years or longer they have made every attempt to destroy American democracy and to "bury us", as Nikita Khrushchev promised to do, and all the while American Democrats praised and imitated the Communist dictatorships as being the enlightened wave of the future for the entire world and for all of mankind.
Then poor Hillary gets hacked by some bungling fool and the Russians get the blame, and are thereafter unable to get a break from the criticism from the American, and now the French, left. At some point western leftist politicians will have to face the fact that they may be going to the well far too often by blaming Russia for their political problems. It's quite an eye opener for conservative Americans to see the leftist-inspired, glamorous reputations of murderous, evil Russian dictators being dashed to bits by the same American leftist Democrats who espoused Soviet glory for all those years.
Walter Duranty must be spinning in his well-deserved grave, and his New York Times publishers are strangely silent while the lying, Potemkin empire is being brought down by their American, Democrat fellow-travelers.
And all but forgotten in this "the Russians did it" diatribe coming from leftist politicians is that fact that the leftist administration of Barack Obama employed the Soviet, Communist practice of spying, wire-tapping and eaves-dropping on their political opponents, specifically during the recent Republican campaigns of Donald Trump and Ran Paul, and likely others. And forgotten in this confusion is the corruption that accompanies this practice of spying that the Democrats has always associate with Richard Nixon, but is now part of the anti-American left, as practiced by the Democrat Party of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Playmobil Debuts New Ghostbusters Toys for 35th Anniversary
Luke Y. ThompsonSunday, May 19, 2019
Sony has dubbed this June 8th to be Ghostbusters Day, as the 35th anniversary of the original movie rolls around. Fan fever is so infectious now that even Bill Murray has started talking about getting involved again. Diamond Select made a lengthy, comprehensive line of action figures from both original movies in recent years, but Playmobil made a huge impact by taking on the property as its first outside live-action movie license. This year, they're expanding the line of new Ghostbusters toys in a way that's explicitly targeting collectors, as well as kids.
Funko recently licensed the Playmobil style for larger figures based on characters like Doctor Who and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Playmobil clearly saw the market and realized they could just do that themselves. Therefore, for the first time the company is putting out 6-inch licensed collectible figures based on the original four Ghostbusters. They come in window-box packaging for display, and in-app codes for the Ghostbusters World mobile game. Each has a limited run of 12,500 pieces, featuring a price tag commensurate with the small-run nature, at $49.99. Fans who prefer classic Playmobil scale can get a set of four in the 2-3/4 inch scale for $19.99. (They were previously only available as pack-ins with vehicles and playsets.)
RELATED: Jason Reitman Says He Will Hand Ghostbusters 'Back to the Fans'
Also new for this year is the Ecto 1A from Ghostbusters II. Unsurprisingly, as in the movie, it redecorates the original Ecto 1 vehicle. For added value, it includes all four Ghostbusters in their sequel outfits, with slime blowers. These along with a "playmogram" prism (originally sold separately) that utilizes your smart device to create a 3D illusion of ghosts being sucked into a trap. At $59.99, this may be the best deal of all.
Does Playmobil's bustin' make you feel good? Would you rather collect 6-inch figures in this style than the smaller ones? Tell us in comments below!

Q: mysql single returned value I have a mysql query:
$a=mysql_query("SELECT id FROM table1 WHERE p2='fruit' LIMIT 1");

This will only ever return one result or none.
I'm trying to first count the results, then if it 1, to pass the returned id to a variable.
Question: If I do
$results=count(mysql_fetch_assoc($a));
to count the number of rows returned, can I still do later
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($a)){
    $id=$row['id'];
 }

or will the first delete the array somehow???
Is their a better way to do all this?

A: $results=count(mysql_fetch_assoc($a));

does not count the number of rows as mysql_fetch_assoc returns one row. I believe you're looking for mysql_num_rows:
$results = mysql_num_rows($a);

A: You really not need to do anything if there is one row or null
Consider below code it will set id value if there is 1 row fetched otherwise it will be null
$id=''
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($a)){
    $id=$row['id'];
 }

No count needed.

A: $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($a);

You can then do an IF statement on this and later do a while loop on the fetched array

A: Have you tried mysql_num_rows ??
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-num-rows.php

A: No you cannot as each call to mysql_fetch_assoc() loads a new row, if there is any. You could indeed assign both variables at once:
$results=count($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($a));
but
But mysql_fetch_assoc($a)) returns false and as the result of count(false) is 1 this will not tell you anything. Besides, if there is no row all you really need is $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($a) and test if ($row) {...}.

A: What happens when using:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($a)){
    $id=$row['id'];
}

it is just like reading a file,every time mysql_fetch_array($a) is called the next line is parsed untill it reaches the end of the file. A cursor of some sort is known in the background. Meaning that if you would enter by hand
    //backgroundCursor = 0
    $row = mysql_fetch_array($a)
    //backgroundCursor = 1
    $row = mysql_fetch_array($a)
    //backgroundCursor =2
    $row = mysql_fetch_array($a)
    //backgroundCursor = 3
The while instruction just automates the stuff.
mysql_fetch_array increases the background cursor at every call so if you call it twice it will not give you the same line.
To get a clear view on this read something about reading from a file line by line.
