Crypto Exchange Backed By Peter Thiel And Richard Li Goes Live For Institutional Clients – Forbes

Bullish, a blockchain-based cryptocurrency exchange, officially began operating on Tuesday for an inaugural batch of institutional investors, marking an important milestone that paves the way for a full launch with retail investors at a later date.
At the time of the launch, the Bullish exchange's offering was comprised of bitcoin, ether, EOS tokens and USD coins. The exchange said it will broaden the digital assets it can offer in the future.
Among the first clients to operate on the Bullish exchange are a non-U.S. affiliate of Virtu Financial, the electronic market-making firm based in New York, and the Hong Kong-based crypto finance firm Amber Group.
Bullish was established earlier this year as a subsidiary of Block.one, a blockchain software company backed by a group of renowned investors including PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel, hedge fund managers Alan Howard and Louis Bacon, and Hong Kong tycoon Richard Li. Eventually, Bullish will offer automated market making, lending, and portfolio management tools to its users.
Brendan Blumer, the chairman of Bullish, highlighted the infrastructure of the exchange that's "designed to meet the needs of investors who are seeking secure exposure to digital assets on a regulated platform, and with innovative liquidity and portfolio management options stemming from an entirely new exchange architecture."
Bullish is initially making $3 billion of its assets available to its liquidity pools, which facilitate automated lending and market-making functions. The exchange will incorporate Block.one's open-source blockchain software called EOSIO.
Bullish is slated to go public on the New York Stock Exchange through a merger with special purpose acquisition company Far Peak Acquisition Corp. in a transaction that will value the combined company at about $9 billion.
After the merger is completed, Blumer will become chairman of the combined entity and Far Peak CEO Thomas W. Farley, a former president of the New York Stock Exchange, will become the CEO of Bullish. The deal is expected to close by the end of 2021 or by the first quarter of 2022.
Bullish was awarded a distributed ledger technology (DLT) license from the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC) earlier this year.
"As the world's first jurisdiction to enact purpose-built legislation in support of DLT, we believe Gibraltar is becoming a leading blockchain and virtual assets hub, and that it can provide an environment for cryptocurrency-focused companies to operate," Blumer said at the time.

CJPME Factsheet 30, published January, 2008: This factsheets provides an overview of the Annapolis negotiations process. On November 27, 2007, in Annapolis, Maryland, US President George W. Bush, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and PLO Chairman Mahmoud Abbas presented a well publicized joint statement committing to recommence negotiations, with a view to having some final agreement by the end of 2008. The parties promised to resolve "all outstanding issues, including all core issues without exception."
The Annapolis Negotiations Process
Factsheet Series No. 30, created: January 2008, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East
View factsheet in PDF format
What is "Annapolis"?
"Annapolis" was the kick-off of a new set of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. On November 27, 2007, in Annapolis, Maryland, US President George W. Bush, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and PLO Chairman Mahmoud Abbas presented a well publicized joint statement committing to recommence negotiations, with a view to having some final agreement by the end of 2008. The parties promised to resolve "all outstanding issues, including all core issues without exception." [1] Olmert and Abbas also agreed to implement their respective obligations to the 2003 "Road Map Peace Plan," adding that the envisioned future treaty will be "subject to the implementation of the Road Map." [2] The US is slated to be the judge of adherence to the Road Map. Real negotiations started on December 12, 2007.
What is the political and financial support for Annapolis?
The Annapolis kick-off was part of a highly orchestrated process to precipitate some negotiated result between Israel and the Palestinians. Some of the elements of this promotional campaign included:
Representation by Arab states. There was great pressure on other Arab states to be visibly present at the Annapolis ceremony, and ultimately 16 of them showed. This strong visible Arab support was the result of many factors that go far beyond the scope of this factsheet.
Release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails. Early in December, 2007, Israel released 429 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails in a "good will" gesture meant to bolster support of Abbas and the Annapolis process.
Paris Conference to solicit aid for Palestinians. The PA under Abbas issued a Palestinian Reform and Development Plan (PRDP) which provided a framework to garner international promises of aid to the PA through 2010. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) also provided supporting analyses for this plan, and projections of how the plan could – under various scenarios – improve the living conditions and economy of the Palestinians.
Paris Conference to solicit aid for the Palestinians. On December 17th, 2007, a "Pledging Conference" in Paris resulted in international promises of almost $7.5 billion in aid to the PA over three years (including about $300 million from Canada.)
How successful have early negotiations been?
Early negotiations, which began as scheduled on December 12, 2007, got off to an inauspicious start. On December 12th itself, and again later in December, Israel announced new plans to expand two of its Jewish-only colonies – in strict violation of the provisions of the Road Map Peace Plan. Sessions slated for negotiations were subsequently eclipsed by heated arguments on how to proceed given Israel's pugnacious announcements. The US administration has expressed great concern over these Israeli plans, as have the Quartet[3], and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon[4], among others.
What are some of the obstacles to just outcomes through Annapolis?
While most would welcome a positive outcome from the negotiations process begun through Annapolis, there are a number of reasons to question whether the negotiated outcomes may promote a just resolution to the standoff between Israel and the Palestinians. They include:
Weak credibility of both Abbas and Olmert. Olmert leads a shaky coalition government in Israel, and will have difficulty making substantive offers to the Palestinians without triggering the fall of his government. Abbas, for his part, negotiates on behalf of the Palestinians as "Chairman of the PLO," (a right established under Oslo) and not as the elected leader of the Palestinian Authority. Hamas, which won the last election and which took control of Gaza in a forcible coup in June 2007 opposes the negotiations. Finally, the US Administration sponsoring the talks is due to leave office in January, 2009, thus forcing "results" from Annapolis by the end of 2008.
Hamas and Gaza are largely outside the Annapolis process. With Hamas excluded from the Annapolis process, it is difficult to see how Gaza's population will benefit and/or consequently support the process. In addition, Hamas' opposition to the negotiations will likely fuel an ongoing deterrent to progress as Israel and Hamas continue to strike violently at one another.
The Annapolis Process will involve only the Israelis and Palestinians. Success in previous negotiations is largely attributed to the direct involvement of US presidents, e.g. Carter in the Camp David Accords of 1978, and Clinton in the Camp David Accords of 2000. It is hard to see how pro-justice concessions can be wrested from the Israelis without an influential third party.
Israel threatens to expand colonies as talks start. While there may be some political reasons behind the announcements, it is difficult to reconcile the Israeli plans for colony expansion (discussed above) with the spirit of good-faith negotiations which is supposed to characterize the Annapolis process.
Olmert's historic concerns with the Jewishness of Israel. Long before he became Israeli Prime Minister, Olmert proposed that Israel disengage from the Palestinians to ensure a Jewish character for Israel – a position reinforced by his speech at Annapolis. Israel's negotiating position may likely be driven by this concern, rather than a desire to address "core issues."
Israel's 14 reservations to the Road Map Peace Plan are unaddressed. While the Annapolis Process takes the Road Map Peace Plan as a starting point, it ignores the fact that Israel gutted the Plan with 14 "reservations" in 2003 (while the Palestinians accepted the plan "as is.") Israel's 14 reservations undermine the Plan's most important protections and promises to the Palestinians.
The fact that the US is the sole arbiter of the Annapolis Process. While Abbas claimed in an interview that the US has been "sympathetic toward the Palestinian issue," [5]US foreign policy has unwaveringly favoured Israel in the last 60 years. As Annapolis supersedes the Road Map Peace Plan, so the US clearly brushes aside the "Quartet" in future negotiations.
What promise may there be for just solutions through Annapolis?
A resumption of negotiations after seven violent years must be viewed positively. As Jimmy Carter and others have pointed out, the status quo and ongoing Israeli practices "on the ground" are unacceptable. Also promising is the fact that Olmert and Abbas have a certain rapport (absent in the past between, e.g. Arafat and Barak in 2000), borne through ongoing discussions since June, 2007. Finally, through the Paris conference of December 17th, the World Bank and IMF have given the international community a clear message that recovery in Palestine depends on a change in Israeli occupation practices in Palestine.
How do Palestinians and Israelis feel about the Annapolis Process?
According to a survey of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza in mid-November, only 35.3 percent of Palestinians expect the Annapolis process to be a success. [6] Another survey in mid-December indicated that 65 percent of these Palestinians believe that the chances for the establishment of a Palestinian state in the next five years are slim or non-existent. [7] Among Israelis, at the end of December, 89 percent think the chances of a deal between Israel and the Palestinians by the end of 2008 are low. [8]

Angelo Maggi: we interviewed the voice actor of Tony Stark and Tom Hanks
That his "I love you 3000", which has now become a mantra for all lovers of pop cinema, still resonates in minds and hearts of Iron Man and Tony Stark fans. But Angelo Maggi (here his official Facebook profile and here his Instagram page) is not only, since 2008, the official voice of the character of Robert Downey Jr. in the universe of the Avengers. Man of theater, of show business, dubbing veteran and interpreter of Tom Hanks in most of his film productions, but also of Dr. Cox in the serial Scrubs or in the comic and hilarious role of Commissioner Winchester I Simpson. Angelo Maggi will be a guest on Twitch at Voice Over, our format dedicated to the main voices of Italian dubbing. Waiting to meet him live on the evening of 11 May, and to be able to interact with him, we offer you an interesting chat with Angelo. Enjoy the reading!
"I am Iron Man"
Everyeye.it: Hi Angelo, we have come from a difficult year for everyone, but among the most affected categories are the workers in the world of entertainment. What changes have you had to face, on the theater and dubbing side, in the last year and a half?
Angelo Maggi: The pandemic has shocked the world and consequently shocked me too, especially as an artist. As for the theater, I had to stop completely and I had to give up the sixth edition of my show, the DoppiAttore and some projects related to music. But the ideas remain, I have many news in store on the DoppiAttore, which remains the only show in the world on dubbing.
I missed the contact with the public very much, but it goes without saying that the greatest pain concerns the thousands of Italian families who have been at home for a year and a half without having seen a penny, and my thoughts go to them.
For the dubbing, however, I must say that the work stopped only during the 2020 lockdown, then it resumed but something has changed. On the other hand, with Hollywood still, it was inevitable. The Blacklist, a TV series that I have doubled for several seasons, I had to do it with incomplete material, because in the United States they hadn't had time to shoot it all.
The rhythms have changed and moreover, as we age, the roles decrease (even if they increase in charisma or prestige).
Everyeye.it: Among the many actors and characters you dubbed the one currently most prominent is Robert Downey Jr. and his Tony Stark. Can you tell us how you have experienced the explosion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the years? Didn't you, like many in 2008, expect the Marvel phenomenon to reach these levels?
Angelo Maggi: No one, not even Disney, nor of course the dubbing insiders, could even remotely imagine what would happen within a decade.
You know well that in these cases there are always auditions. Even today, after so many years of doubling Tom Hanks, Spielberg recently wanted to supervise the auditions. That's right, because over the years the voices change and in the digital age - with an ever more attentive and precise audience - we need to pay the utmost care.
Surprisingly, when the Iron Man adventure began in 2008, there was no audition for my role.
See also "It will bring a new voice to Marvel"
I can't tell you if the role was underestimated or I was overrated. It was a bet by the director Marco Guadagno. So I was literally catapulted into this world, but the bad thing was that the visual material was completely obscured at the time.
For reasons of confidentiality we were forced to dub on a black screen with a tiny rod to reveal only the mouths of the characters. I must say that I have perceived and discovered the real extent of this operation only now that the cycle is over, after Endgame.
Everyeye.it: And how did you live instead l'epilogo di Tony in Endgame? Did you know in advance that it was going to be his last film or did you discover everything by "living it" during the dubbing?
Angelo Maggi: From that "I am Iron Man" in 2008 to the same phrase, repeated in his last scene, the beauty of thirteen years passes and everything has changed. I obviously developed a bond with him and with the character, when at the premiere of the film I saw 500 people crying in the hall I also felt a lot of emotion.
In these thirteen years I have grown up with him despite being a decade older than Robert Downey Jr. and at times it has been tiring to keep up with him - something that doesn't happen to me in the slightest with Tom Hanks, because we are the same age.
I'll tell you, the age factor counts a lot in dubbing, for example for the speed in diction, but also for many other factors.
As for the advances you asked me, I will answer you by quoting my friend Luca Ward: we read the scripts all live, and often in a hurry, because maybe you only have an hour to turn and then you have to escape to the other side. of the city to dub something else.
I therefore only discovered Tony's fate at the end, also because now that he dubbed himself in separate columns we do everything in the chronological order of the film. Before it was different, to put together the voices in certain scenes you would jump from one point to another in the film.
Everyeye.it: Do you prefer dubbing as it was before or now?
Angelo Maggi: Dubbing is best done when acting with someone else. So I prefer it as it was before. Today everything is digitized and in some ways it is simpler, but it is very different.
Tom Hanks and I Simpson
Everyeye.it: Tell me about your relationship with Tom Hanks instead.
Angelo Maggi: A few years ago I met him live. I'll mention some "gems" that I will tell you during my next show. I met him in Venice, at the time he had to play a character with a foreign accent and I remember that in the dubbing room I had a consultant who helped me to replicate it. I went to dinner with him and was introduced as his official Italian voice in Dreamworks films (in fact his latest work, News from the world, exceptionally I didn't dubbed it: being from Universal, who works with a dubbing company linked to Roberto Chevalier who dubbed it for many years, they assigned it to him).
I told him, "Hi Tom, I'm your official voice in Dreamworks movies. So please try to always work with Dreamworks!" He burst out laughing!

Everyeye.it: Moving on to the world of television, one of your most iconic characters along with Cox of Scrubs is the Winchester commissioner of the Simpsons. How did you approach the dubbing of the animated show and how did you work, as a Roman, on the accent of the commissioner?
Angelo Maggi: With cartoons, compared to live-action movies, you can afford to come up with the voice you want. The Simpsons are special because, as you well know, linguistically and culturally the original version is very different from the Italian one and it could not be otherwise.
The intuition of "Italianising" the gab of some characters was a brilliant choice of the then director, the great Tonino Accolla.
Being a Neapolitan Winchester, I had to dig into my past and revive the accent of my grandfather, who was called Angelo like me and was Neapolitan from Vomero.
I was very attached to him and luckily enjoyed him into adulthood, so I absorbed much of his gab and expressions. But not only that, I combined my grandfather's voice with the push-ups of one of my teachers during my training as an actor: Eduardo De Filippo.
Everyeye.it: To close, an anecdote that comes to your mind related to your most iconic characters?
Angelo Maggi: I'd say the Cast Away scene where Tom Hanks leaves the island, the camera is constantly going up and down in and out of the water. I drank three liters of mineral water and the lectern became practically a quagmire, because I tried to replicate the protagonist's sense of drowning.
Or when I got exhausted for a dubbing shift, again for a movie with Hanks, after running for a kilometer, and the director immediately had me record a scene where Tom was out of breath too. Because the dubbing has to be true, always!
Everyeye.it: Before saying goodbye, remind us of your upcoming projects.
Angelo Maggi: I have a very big project that I can't talk about yet. I had abandoned it but apparently I can get it back, you will know something very soon.
But I will also resume many live shows and concerts. For example, I will do a series of concerts in Rome, entitled "Spaccio Arte". And another project that I really care about is a traveling show, which we will do by bus, back and forth along a street or a square, and which can be seen from the window of your home.

Why are early adopters important


To examine whether online curricula were appropriate for physician assistant (PA) programs, one PA program piloted an online curriculum for courses in endocrinology and community health with two groups of 42 students each. Overall the Web-based courses were effective; both courses resulted in grades and PANCE scores that were consistent with scores from traditional courses in previous years. Student evaluations showed mixed reviews in regard to the organization of the courses and the participants expressed a preference for the traditional classroom course over the Web-based course. Generalizability is limited based on two courses and one PA program.

A Holiday Party Primer: Ask Deeper Questions
Jeannette Cooperman
Photo by Jeremy Bishop via Unsplash
In his December newsletter for The School of Life, Alain de Botton—the beloved British philosopher of everyday relationships, work, art, and meaning—begs his readers to stop asking superficial questions. If someone says they are spending the holidays with their partner and their partner's family, instead of asking, "Whereabouts do they live?" ask "Do you feel like you might be unconsciously avoiding your own family?" If someone complains of all the stress and holiday multitasking, instead of chatting about meal prep, ask, "Have you always felt pressured to please those around you?" If someone has not figured out what present to buy their father, instead of suggesting a gift certificate, ask, "Do you feel like the two of you struggle to connect as individuals?"
I gulped for air. Not only did those questions sound like a quick way to get the contents of the cut-glass punch bowl dumped on my head, but they took me straight back to adolescence.
My mother would ask anybody anything. "Have you had sex yet?" she would inquire eagerly when a young secretary confided a new romance. A casual acquaintance might be asked, "Do you like your mother? I couldn't stand mine." To an anxious neighbor: "Have you tried Xanax? I couldn't get to the grocery store without it." My friends (and later, boyfriends) underwent such sweet grillings, they left dazed, having poured out more information than they ever told their own mother.
Nette would have made a hell of a spy, because she asked her questions with such pure sympathy and candor that people blurted the answers in spite of themselves. There was no judgment, and they could sense that. Soon she had a soap opera season's worth of information about what the person dreamed about, yearned for, regretted.
As a kid, of course, I was mortified. I developed a faraway stare, removing myself from these messy and unpredictable exchanges. She was the extrovert; I was too shy even to raise my hand in class, let alone ask a question.
But then I went to college and found myself majoring in philosophy, which was all about questions. The choice itself proved Nette's power: I had been pondering the abstract since the day she casually asked, as we carried in groceries, if I believed in fate. Not quite sure what the word meant (I was five years old), I made a valiant stab at an opinion. She listened, then nodded in grave agreement. My first serious opinion validated! I spent the next two decades refining that answer.
In philosophy classes, we asked all sorts of questions, but in a remote and cerebral way, cribbing from Aristotle or Kierkegaard. It was, I had to admit, rather fun. Alas, there are not many career paths in philosophy. So I chose journalism, which had the second-worst job prospects and required entirely different sorts of questions.
As a young reporter, I drafted long lists of questions before each interview, carefully placing the tough questions at the end, and showed up nervous every time. After a few years of this, it began to dawn on me that my mother had been right: People were eager to be asked even the most intimate questions. Asking meant that you thought that person's experience and opinions—about fate, say, or the future of the country—mattered.
With the last inhibitions cut away, I went deep. What did they simultaneously hope for and fear (a favorite I stole from a Tarot card)? What did they blame their parents for? Who was their first crush and why? What shaped their attitude toward money? What did they believe unshakably? What had they done a 180 on? What was their wildest dream ever?
I might need a shot of Scotch to ask one of De Botton's questions. I could come close, though. I might muster "Do you feel closer to your partner's family than your own?" or "What would cut you loose from all that holiday busywork?" or "Are you more like your dad or your mom?"—and let the conversation open from there. The surface is an utterly boring place to stay.
And questions are an art too seldom practiced.
A 2019 study at the University of Pennsylvania found that "individuals avoid asking sensitive questions, because they fear making others uncomfortable—no rocket science there—and because of impression management concerns" (which require jargon to acknowledge). "We demonstrate that this aversion to asking sensitive questions is both costly and misguided," the authors continued. Conversational partners did not mind being asked sensitive questions; nor did they think less of the questioner.
What matters is not how far you probe, but how you word and intend your question.
The traditional reporter's wrap-up, "Is there anything else I should have asked?" elicits very little, because people are intrinsically courteous and do not want to criticize you. "Oh, no," they say, "you were very thorough." So I have learned to ask, "What else about this topic intrigues you?" or "If you were interviewing yourself, what would you ask?"
A thread on a teacher's Twitter account offered other suggestions: Instead of asking "Any questions?" after a presentation, ask "What questions do you have for me?" or "What can I clarify?" One teacher had begun asking students "On a scale of one to ten, how comfortable do we feel?" Another threw in a more personal suggestion: If someone is going through a rough time, instead of the obligatory "Is there anything I can do?" ask "How can I help?"
The trick is, you have to want to help. Because when you ask a question the right way, you just might get a real answer.

You are here: Home / Muscle Building / Look At The Best Tips For Muscle Development Right Here!
Are you exhausted all throughout the time? Do you struggle to do things that others handle with ease? Are you struggling to lose a bit of weight? The key to solving these issues is to start a weight training routine, so keep reading for valuable advice.
Make sure to research the best exercises to increase muscle mass.Different exercises achieve different results; some may work on bodybuilding or toning.
You would want to eat as much as it takes to gain about a pound each week. Research ways to bump up your calories, and if increased caloric intake does not improve your mass, then consider weight training supplements.
Don't try to bulk up when doing intensive cardio workouts. Cardio is important in achieving good fitness, but it can make weight training efforts futile. If adding muscle is your primary goal, concentrate on strength-training.
You need to get enough protein to build muscle. A wonderful way to get protein is by consuming protein supplements and drinks. These are especially effective as part of a workout or post-workout routine. You must consume about one shake per day if you're trying to lose weight.If your goal is bulk, consuming as many as three per day will be beneficial.
Eat well enough on days that you workout your muscles. Consume more calories about 60 minutes before you are going to exercise. This does not mean that you should eat too much, but just to eat more in comparison to the days that you are not planning to hit the gym for weight training.
Do as many sets and repetitions as you can during your workout sessions. This keeps your lactic acid moving, which helps to stimulate muscle growth. Doing this several times during each training session can help vastly.
Don't work out for more than an hour. Your body starts producing excess cortisol, due to the stress it's enduring, after 60 minutes of a workout session. Cortisol may block testosterone and puts to waste any of your efforts to build muscle. Making sure that workouts don't go over one hour is the best results.
Make sure that you are consuming the amount of calories in general. There are several online calculators that you can use to determine caloric needs dependent on your goals. Use one of these calculators, and alter your diet to get plenty of carbs, proteins, and other nutrients to bulk up your muscles.
It is OK to take a little when weight lifting. Make sure your rep speed controlled. Do not compromise your form when you are doing your reps.
Try bettering your bicep curls better. During a normal bicep curl, the upper movement of the lift provides little benefit because you have not moved the weight past your parallel point. You can solve this problem by performing seated barbell curls.
If you build up muscles, your entire life will change. Your energy levels are brought back to normal, you can complete tasks that you never thought you could do, and you can control your weight. This is the easy method for improving your life, so take all this information and get started.

Q: Trying to make a class that lets me push and pop values like a stack from an array (in a windows forms application), but I'm getting stuck I have a windows forms application with a numpad on one side for inputting a value into Label1. When the user presses the Enter button, the application should then 'push' the value onto the stack and display the stack in Label2. I'm now stuck at the part where the application stores the value in an array and displays the stack on the screen.
The Enter button has the following code on click:
    private void btnEnter_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

            ArrayStack Stack = new ArrayStack();
            Stack.Push(label1, label2);
            label1.Text = "0";
    }

And the ArrayStack class has the following code:
    public class ArrayStack
{
    int[] StackArray = new int[10];
    int Top = -1;

    public Label Push(Label Label1, Label Label2)
    {
            StackArray[Top + 1] = Convert.ToInt32(Label1.Text);
            Top = Top + 1;
            for (int counter = 0; counter == Top + 1; counter++ )
            {
                int num = 10 - counter;
                Label2.Text += "\r\n [" + num + "] " + StackArray[Top];
            }

            return Label2;
    }

}

The problem I'm having here is that it doesn't fill Label2 like I intended, but leaves it empty. What am I doing wrong?

A:         for (int counter = 0; counter == Top + 1; counter++ )
        {
            int num = 10 - counter;
            Label2.Text += "\r\n [" + num + "] " + StackArray[Top];
        }

change it to:
        for (int counter = 0; counter <= Top; counter++ )
        {
            int num = 10 - counter;
            Label2.Text += "\r\n [" + num + "] " + StackArray[Top];
        }

also a new Stack is created every time you hit the button. Try making it a member.

From among 19,7 thousand infrastructure facilities which based on the results of the inventory survey are subject to obligatory adaptation for needs of the persons with disabilities over 5 thousand facilities have been adapted in the country since 2014.
Besides, since 2014 the target current transfers are allocated from republican budget to the local executive bodies to provide the transport infrastructure accessibility for the persons with disabilities. Total cost volume to meet these needs constituted KZT 1, 3 milliard in 2014-2015.
Within the framework of these funds allocated 14,4 thousand road signs are installed, 283 pedestrian crossings are equipped with sound units and development of 11 "Invataxi" services is supported in the country regions.
Let us remind, in Kazakhstan inventory of about 29 thousand more infrastructure facilities lie ahead in Kazakhstan.
As it was reported earlier, in the current year Kazakhstan has ratified the Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities and assumed liabilities on implementation of the international standards concerning persons with disabilities.
Ratification of the Convention will provide additional guarantees of implementation and protection of their constitutional rights and freedoms to 627 thousand of the persons with disabilities living in the Republic and to their families as well.


The ski resort of Kalavrita is situated 15 km off the town of Kalavrita, at NW of Mountain Chelmos and at an altitude of 1700 meters (Xerokampos), to 2340 meters (Neraidorachi). It offers modern facilities, 8 lifts and 13 slaloms of all categories. Set up for the first time in 1988, the ski resort of Kalavrita gave strong impetus to the tourism development of the region. During the winter season (December to April) it is open daily from 8:30 to 16:00. On its premises there are garages, cafeteria, restaurants, shop selling and hiring ski equipment, as well as photographic equipment and a First Aid Station. Finally Ski Resort of Kalavrita is suitable for expert or novice skier, as courses can easily be arranged.
The gravel road begins at the village Metochi, near Vlasia; when you see a wooden sign that says "To Rodea" turn right. The road is quite wide. Initially it goes through low hills but afterwards it crosses a wonderful fir forest. Rodea is a children's camp and at the only crossing that you will meet, follow the right (to the South) gravel road; the other road leads to village Manesi. Through fine fir forest and just 10 Km from the previous crossing, you will enter the first houses of the graphic village Kouteli.
The gravel road starts from the last houses of village Ano Vlasia. It crosses landscapes with a lovely view beside the water sources in Soulinari, through streams and torrents with smooth rocks, and through the fir forest. At an altitude of 1450 m the road goes downhill to the village Lechouri, which is situated 16 Km off Ano Vlasia.
As you drive from Patras to Kalavrita trough Chalandritsa, turn left following the signs, at village Flampoura. You will pass through village Neochori and the Selinountas' valley, where the view is truly beautiful. About 3 km after Neochori you will find a sign leading to the Monastery; all you have to do is drive for about 10 km enjoy the road that crosses through a magnificent forest mainly consisting of oaks and beech.
The Monastery of Makelaria is built on top of a stiff cliff at a very peaceful and beautiful location. The surrounding area can be reached by a 4x4 car or an enduro bike; it is full of gravel roads that lead to villages Lapanagi, Rakita, Petsaki, and the roads are next to Selinountas River banks.
Caution : The following routes are suitable for people with mountaineering experience and knowledge of orientation in mountainous area.
The path, suitable for trekking is near Ano Vlasia. Unfortunately there are no signs, so best is to seek directions for a short gravel road south of the village, which leads to a water source. Behind the water source is a mysterious and dark cave. Those who have partly explore it mention the existence of underground lakes and extraordinary landscapes. Suitable equipment and caution is advised, as the surface is wet and mouldy. Going downhill to the edge of the river you will find the waterfall of Saint Taxiarchis. The scene is magnificent; Water sources comes from various directions on rush falls into a dark lake, in order to join Selinountas river.
The path starts from Metochi near Vlasia and ends at the top of Kalifoni mount. It' s a difficult path. Expirience in trekking and mountaineering is necessary.
The path starts near Ano Vlasia on the road that links Vlasia with Lechouri and ends at a top of Mt. Erimanthos called Skouteli.
The path starts at Ski Center of Kalavrita and ends at the Monastery of Mega Spileo.
The path starts from Kalavrita and ends at Diakofto passing through the beautiful Canyon of Vouraikos, next to famous cog railway of Ododotos. It is a part of Ε4 international path. The landscapes are wonderful. At a short distance from Kalavrita you will meet the village Kato Zachlorou, where you can have a break for coffee, food and relaxing.
The path begins from the village Peristera or Solos, which is located at an altitude of 1000 meters, near the Tsivlou lake. Initially, we follow the forest road that passes through pines and continue to the path that leads to waterfall of Styx's Water. Caution is advised as the path is quite steep.
Caution : The above routes are suitable for people with mountaineering experience and knowledge of orientation in mountainous area.

Q: How to insert multi-line comment in Doxygen code examples I am trying to include a code example which contains a multi-line comment in Doxygen documentation. The problem is that the C++ preprocessor interprets the */ as the end of my Doxygen comment and therefore the syntax of the file is broken.
For example:
/*! \brief My Doxygen comment.
 *
 * \code
 * myFunction() /* Some multi-line comment */
 * \endcode
 */

I already tried the suggestion which works for JavaDoc comments: encode the slash using HTML entities like this:
* \code
* myFunction() /* Some multi-line comment */
* \endcode

but this doesn't work (I guess because Doxygen does not replace HTML entities within code sections).
So the question is: is it possible to include multi-line comments in code example and how can it be done?

A: Use different comment styles.
Instead of what you have, use:
/// \brief My Doxygen comment.
///
/// \code
/// myFunction() /* Some multi-line comment */
/// \endcode
///

The /// is the same as /*! and marks a doxygen portion. The pre-processor will treat each line as a single line comment.

As Families Celebrate, Another Searches For Their Daughter

Samantha Delgado (Source: Miami-Dade Schools Police)
MIAMI (CBSMiami) — As families are gathering for post holiday celebrations, another family is searching for a missing member.
Sixteen year old Samantha Delgado, a Coral Gables High School student, went missing last week. She is believed to be with 20-year-old Fabel Escalante who she was dating in secret.
On Friday, both parents held a press conference to beg them to come back, promising no one will face charges.

Both families have known each other for at least six years. They are neighbors, who say they didn't know their children were dating.
"If you're watching this, I ask you with love to return. If you're in love with Samantha, you needed to have talked to us about it," said Delgado's mother Iyamilet Palenzuela.
Fabel Gin Escalante (Source: Miami-Dade Schools Police Department)
Delgado was last seen on December 19th when her mother dropped her off at school. Her mom said she didn't act any differently than on any other day.
Family and friends believe she may be with Escalante who she's been secretly dating for the last three or four months but they may have recently broken up.
Samantha's parents believe she did not leave with him willingly, and her cousin says he had threatened Samantha a week before her disappearance.
Meantime, Personal Investigator Joe Carillo said he has conducted his own investigation, separate from the law enforcement investigation.
Although Escalante has been in trouble with the law before, they don't believe he is armed and dangerous.
"As far as him being a dangerous individual, from what we know, we don't think that problems he had as a juvenile remotely raise to the point where he has been described," said Carillo.
His family has joined forces with Delgado's family. His mom is also pushing back on the idea that her son is dangerous, even though the Miami-Dade Schools Police Department said they can arrest him for interfering with the custody of a child.
"I don't watch the news. I don't care what they say. He's my only son and I love him. All I can do is ask them to come home," said Escalante's mother Zulilla Oliveros.
READ: Family Of Missing Teen Fears She Is Held Against Her Will
Police said Escalante has a criminal record of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery on a law enforcement officer.
Police said he is known to drive a 2003 black Audi Station wagon.
Both families said they have legal representation waiting for both Delgado and Escalante.
Delgado's family said they don't intend to press charges if she is safely returned.
If you have any information on the case, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471- TIPS.

Q: Styling pandas based on conditions I am trying to color the text or cells of data frame based on the condition. This is the code I have. It works:
def Highlight_Majors(val):

    color = 'blue' if val == "Austria" else 'black'
    return 'color: %s' % color

s = df.style.applymap(Highlight_Majors)
s

The string "Austria" now appears highlighted in the dataframe.
What if I have more than one countries I need to highlight?
This does not work:
def Highlight_Majors(val):

    color = 'blue' if val == "Austria"|"Belgium" else 'black'
    return 'color: %s' % color

What is the right way to do it?

A: Use the in operator with a set membership test:
def Highlight_Majors(val):
    return 'color: %s' % ('blue' if val in {"Austria", "Belgium"} else 'black')

A: How about this?
color = 'blue' if any([val==i for i in ["Austria", "Belgium"]]) else 'black'


For the German Workers' Party in Austria-Hungary, see German Workers' Party (Austria-Hungary).
The German Workers' Party (German: Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, DAP) was a short-lived political party and the precursor of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, NSDAP); commonly referred to in English as the Nazi Party. The DAP only lasted from January 1919 until February 1920.
The DAP was founded in Munich in the hotel "Fürstenfelder Hof" on January 5, 1919 by Anton Drexler. It developed out of the Freier Arbeiterausschuss für einen guten Frieden (Free Workers' Committee for a Good Peace) league, a branch of which Drexler had founded in 1918. Thereafter in 1918, Karl Harrer (a journalist and member of the Thule Society), convinced Drexler and several others to form the Politischer Arbeiterzirkel (Political Workers' Circle). The members met periodically for discussions with themes of nationalism and antisemitism directed against the Jews. Drexler was encouraged to form the DAP in December 1918 by his mentor, Dr. Paul Tafel. Tafel was a leader of the Alldeutscher Verband (Pan-Germanist Union), a director of the Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg, and a member of the Thule Society. Drexler's wish was for a political party which was both in touch with the masses and nationalist. In January 1919 with the DAP founding, Drexler was elected chairman and Harrer was made "Reich Chairman", an honorary title. On May 17, only ten members were present at the meeting; a later meeting in August only noted 38 members attending.
After World War I ended, Adolf Hitler returned to Munich. Having no formal education and career prospects, he tried to remain in the army for as long as possible. In July 1919 he was appointed Verbindungsmann (intelligence agent) of an Aufklärungskommando (reconnaissance commando) of the Reichswehr, to influence other soldiers and to infiltrate the German Workers' Party (DAP). While monitoring the activities of the DAP, Hitler became attracted to founder Anton Drexler's anti-Semitic, nationalist, anti-capitalist, and anti-Marxist ideas. While attending a party meeting at the Sterneckerbräu beer hall on September 12, 1919, Hitler became involved in a heated political argument with a visitor, a Professor Baumann, who questioned the soundness of Gottfried Feder's arguments against capitalism and proposed that Bavaria should break away from Prussia and found a new South German nation with Austria. In vehemently attacking the man's arguments he made an impression on the other party members with his oratory skills and, according to Hitler, the "professor" left the hall acknowledging unequivocal defeat. Impressed with Hitler, Drexler invited him to join the DAP. Hitler accepted on September 12, 1919, becoming the party's 55th member.
In less than a week, Hitler received a postcard from Drexler stating he had officially been accepted as a DAP member and he should come to a "committee" meeting to discuss it. Hitler attended the "committee" meeting held at the run-down Altes Rosenbad beer-house. Normally, enlisted army personnel were not allowed to join political parties. However in this case, Hitler had Captain Karl Mayr's permission to join the DAP. Further, Hitler was allowed to stay in the army and receive his weekly pay of 20 gold marks a week. At the time when Hitler joined the party there were no membership numbers or cards. It was in January 1920 when a numeration was issued for the first time: listed in alphabetical order, Hitler received the number 555. In reality he had been the 55th member, but the counting started at the number 501 in order to make the party appear larger. Hitler, in his work Mein Kampf, later claimed to be the seventh party member (he was in fact the seventh executive member of the Party's central committee). After giving his first speech for the DAP on October 16 at the Hofbräukeller, Hitler quickly became the party's most active orator. Hitler's considerable oratory and propaganda skills were appreciated by the party leadership as crowds began to "flock" to hear his speeches during 1919 and 1920. With the support of Anton Drexler, Hitler became chief of propaganda for the party in early 1920. Hitler preferred that role as he saw himself as the drummer for a national cause. He saw propaganda as the way to bring nationalism to the public.
The small number of party members were quickly won over to Hitler's political beliefs. He organized their biggest meeting yet of 2,000 people, for February 24, 1920 in the Staatliches Hofbräuhaus in München. Further in an attempt to make the party more broadly appealing to larger segments of the population, the DAP was renamed the National Socialist German Workers' Party on February 24. Such was the significance of Hitler's particular move in publicity that Karl Harrer resigned from the party in disagreement. The new name was borrowed from a different Austrian party active at the time (Deutsche Nationalsozialistische Arbeiterpartei, German National Socialist Workers' Party), although Hitler earlier suggested the party to be renamed the "Social Revolutionary Party"; it was Rudolf Jung who persuaded Hitler to follow the NSDAP naming.

Q: How to get the offset of a given CPU register in Rust As an exercise, I've been trying to use Rust's nix::sys::ptrace::ptrace (which is pretty much identical to C's ptrace) to emulate strace's syscall logging functionality by reading the contents of the RAX/RBX/RCX/RDX registers at the time of each syscall.  My desired output would be something similar to this:
Found syscall: 4
Arg1: 1
Arg2: Hello World!

From the examples I've found online, it seems that a combination of PTRACE_PEEKUSER and PTRACE_PEEKDATA would be best for accomplishing this (maybe PTRACE_GETREGS too?), but I'm having a hard time understanding how to satisfy the 3rd argument that I need to pass to these functions in order to make it work.
ptrace's man pages list this example demonstrating the proper usage:
ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKTEXT/PEEKDATA/PEEKUSER, pid, addr, 0);

The man page just says, "Read a word at the address addr in the tracee's memory." But what is addr supposed to be?  How can I determine the correct address to satisfy this argument?
The examples that I've found online all have something like:
ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, pid, sizeof(long)*ORIG_EAX, 0);

or
ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, pid, somenumber*RAX, 0)

How can I find/calculate the offset of these registers during runtime? (in Rust!)

A:
It's been a long time since I poked Linux kernel (Mac user now). Buf if I remember it correctly then ...

Kernel headers
Install kernel headers with something like sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r). Let's say that you're on x86_64-linux-gnu (guess based on your rax interest).
Open /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/reg.h header:
...
#ifdef __x86_64__
/* Index into an array of 8 byte longs returned from ptrace for
   location of the users' stored general purpose registers.  */

# define R15    0
# define R14    1
# define R13    2
# define R12    3
# define RBP    4
# define RBX    5
# define R11    6
# define R10    7
# define R9     8
# define R8     9
# define RAX    10
...

And the comment says:

Index into an array of 8 byte longs returned from ptrace for location of the users' stored general purpose registers.

All those macros (RAX, RCX, ...) define indexes for particular registers. And because each one is 8 byte long (x86_64 only), the offset is 8 * $index. In case of rax register, the offset is calculcated as 8 * RAX = 8 * 10 = 80. 80 is what you should use for the addr argument in the ptrace function call. This is how it works. Be aware that it differs for other architectures, etc.
PTRACE_*
PTRACE_PEEKUSER - use for registers and other debug info.
PTRACE_PEEKDATA - use for program data & code.
PTRACE_PEEKTEXT - man ptrace (Linux) says - Copy the word data to the address addr in the tracee's memory. As for PTRACE_PEEKTEXT and PTRACE_PEEKDATA, these two requests are currently equivalent. That's because Linux doesn't have separate address spaces for text and data.
Rust & PTRACE_PEEKUSER
The nix crate offers getregs function to read all of them. It returns libc user_regs_struct. Which is supported for Linux only:

*

*x86 user_regs_struct

*x86_64 user_regs_struct
libc crate also contains those indexes as well:

*

*x86 indexes

*x86_64 indexes
If you're interested in one register only, you can use this index to calculate offset / addr for the ptrace function. Multiply it with 8 (#[cfg(target_arch = "x86_64")]) / 4 (#[cfg(target_arch = "x86")]) and use PTRACE_PEEKUSER to read it (see Request).
Rust & PTRACE_PEEKDATA
Read What are the calling conventions for UNIX & Linux system calls on i386 and x86-64. In other words, you're interested in rdi, rsi, rdx, ... registers. The nix crate provides specialized read function, which internally calls ptrace function with PTRACE_PEEKDATA.
nix crate
ptrace function is deprecated. Documentation note:

Deprecated since 0.10.0: usages of ptrace() should be replaced with the specialized helper functions instead

You should use specialized functions like getregs & read. You can find list of them in the documentation.


This article is part of a series dealing with building best-in-class lithium battery systems from bare cells, primarily for marine use, but a lot of this material finds relevance for low-voltage off-grid systems as well.
The development and mass-manufacturing in recent years of large-size lithium-ion battery cells for electric vehicles and grid-tied electricity storage has made them broadly accessible.
The very modest lithium battery I built on board the sloop Nordkyn is the best battery I have ever had. It solved all capacity and charging issues. I haven't run out of power once since it was commissioned. I never started the engine only to recharge it. I can run power tools off the inverter without running the engine and it never complains from low voltage.
This 400Ah lithium battery pack, here in the process of being installed, takes a fraction of the space used by the previous deep-cycle lead-acid batteries, offers at least 10% more usable capacity and brings weight down by 128kg.
Note the silver grey battery protection module to the right. The cells will be clamped together and secured into the locker by the time the job is finished.
The incentives for using lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries on board yachts are primarily long-term performance and light weight. If the installation is well engineered, a cost benefit will also result eventually.
The plague of lead-acid batteries has always been sulphation: as soon as they are left in a partial state of charge, they degrade and quickly lose their capacity as a result of hard lead sulphate crystals growing onto the plates, preventing recharge. The problem becomes particularly prevalent when living aboard, because batteries hardly ever manage to recharge much beyond 80% as a result of routine power consumption and lack of time for absorption.
To make this worse, lead-acid batteries are slow to charge, and only get worse as they grow older. They are heavy and about half of the installed capacity is mandated only to limit the depth of cycling and cannot be accessed. This leaves an effectively usable capacity of 30-35% only, between deep discharge down to 50% and a maximum achievable charge state of 80-85% when the bank is in continuous service. Furthermore, this is only achievable as long as the battery is still in good condition. These issues are completely eliminated when throwing the lead out and adopting lithium cells.
A bank of six Endurant CR232 lead-acid batteries, dead after two years in service on board a 44′ catamaran.
The cost figures used above are indicative and were researched in 2015, based on quality products. In the case of lithium, there is an added one-off cost of about $500 to protect the battery and some alterations may be required to existing systems; those can also come at some cost. In a cycling application, typical when living aboard, even at an installed cost of $1500, the whole-of-life cost of the above lithium system would come out at half of the price tag of AGM batteries. Lithium is not automatically a sensible economical choice for vessels that are used infrequently; there, the low cost of basic flooded lead-acid batteries that would be kept at full charge nearly all the time by a solar installation for example is difficult to compete with.
Lithium batteries don't suffer from low charge or deep discharge (down to a limit) and easily offer more than twice the usable storage for the same nominal capacity.
They charge much faster; they can literally absorb all of the available current until almost full.
They are near 100% current-efficient, 1Ah in means about 0.997Ah out: they waste very little energy. This also means no lengthy, wasteful absorption during which good electricity is turned into heat and gases.
They hardly suffer from cycling in marine applications.
They hardly self-discharge over time (provided they were never abused).
They provide a noticeably higher and much more constant system voltage during discharge, over 13 volts.
They are much lighter, much less toxic than lead-acid cells, fully sealed and don't generate explosive gases, even internally.
They last many times longer than a lead-acid bank while providing much higher performance throughout, provided they are treated correctly.
Those are very strong drivers for throwing the lead out, first and foremost for people who live on board and therefore use power every day. If, instead, the boat is only occasionally used, any decent installation including solar panels is normally able to maintain much cheaper sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries in fair working order for many years and the business case for installing lithium cells doesn't automatically stand as well.
Lithium battery cells are more costly initially. A lithium bank is an investment, the return of which is only achieved if it lasts many, many years.
Lithium cells are very prone to electrochemical damage if something goes wrong electrically around them and therefore require some additional protection equipment.
Sustained operation at freezing and sub-freezing temperatures is questionable. Installation in hot environments, such as engine rooms, is not an option either.
A lithium battery is not a drop-in equivalent for a lead-acid. Systems around it need to be re-assessed and nearly always modified. This equally applies to "packaged" lithium batteries that come with internal protections and marketing claims that they can be installed as direct replacement. They can't.
Engineering issues are often poorly resolved in marine installations and some lithium batteries installed on yachts as DIY systems have been associated with much anger and bitter cringing, for no reason of their own. Many of these installations have ended in a very expensive fiasco. Poor engineering and inept advice from battery resellers and marine electrical equipment manufacturers are the #1 problem with lithium today.
Actual life expectancy depends a lot on cell manufacture, as well as how they were treated afterwards. Cheap lithium cells from a questionable source may not prove to be much of a bargain at all down the track.
The above list highlights that the drawbacks are essentially up-front. If those can be addressed properly, it is all go afterwards.
It is derisively easy to obtain a working system with a lithium battery bank on board – just put it in. It is unlikely to last any amount of time, it is unsafe and anything but clever. It is also a good way of eventually losing a significant amount of money.
Many, many lithium house banks have been lost to specific and completely avoidable incidents so far. A number of others are in service with damaged cells, which is beyond questionable from a safety point of view.
We don't know what calendar life to expect from a lithium bank on board. Some decent marine installations have been going strong since around 2008 (as far as I know) with no end-of-life in sight about 7 years later now. 10-year appears easily achievable and more is very likely.
Some installations appear to have exhibited significant losses in capacity after a few years only, the cause of which is not always easy to pinpoint.
There is a lot of misinformation and lack of understanding of this battery technology, including and especially amongst people marketing marine electrical equipment. The technology is not where their core interests lie.
There are a lot of marketing claims from manufacturers for equipment that is in fact largely unsuitable for lithium chemistry, or for building marine house banks, even when specifically advertised for lithium.
Drop-in, packaged, lithium batteries with integrated "management" sold as replacement for lead-acids are products that should be protected against severe incidents, but fail to resolve everything else if hooked up to standard lead-acid charging system. No amount of "claims" can change that, because some of the engineering issues present are external to the battery. Their capacity and construction are often sub-standard however.
Commercial solutions for lithium electricity storage on board are currently priced as a luxury option available to the top-end market and entails buying an entirely new charging system (in most cases) as well as the batteries themselves – and installing everything from the ground up.
There appears to be three options for installing lithium batteries on a yacht. Two only are actually valid and one only is cost effective.
Lead-acid charging systems are generally incompatible with lithium batteries and damage them. Achieving longevity instead requires building a system, where all components operate harmoniously, not only within the specifications of the battery cells, but also following best practices with this type of chemistry.
Engineered lithium solutions are being offered by several of the big names in marine DC power systems. The starting point is always a block of LiFePO4 prismatic cells associated with a protection circuit and (usually) two disconnectors, one to isolate charging sources and one to disconnect the loads.
Several brands in the marine electrical market offer pre-assembled and protected lithium battery packs, albeit at very high cost.
Buying the battery is just the beginning however and the system is then complemented by various alternator control devices and charge regulators. Integrating these batteries with non-proprietary equipment can be a major headache or result in significant technical issues, because – once again – building a lithium system is not just a matter of replacing the battery. Charge control regulators, and solar charge controllers in particular, offered by some of these companies frequently make little or no effort at all to ensure the bank doesn't get "floated" at high voltage, which invariably translates into a much shortened life. In this regard, those are not well-engineered systems, but these companies also sell the same LiFePO4 battery cells available to the DIY builder, just repackaged and re-branded at high cost with some associated embedded protection circuitry. However, from a safety and reliability point of view, those are saleable systems. The stumbling block is the astronomical price point, which has remained remarkably stable for a number of years now, and sometimes concerns associated with longevity.
There is a growing offering from numerous obscure brands for direct "lead-acid replacement" lithium batteries. Those are often assembled from a large number of small cylindrical cells complemented with an over-voltage/under-voltage protection circuit and a crude cell balancing scheme. They are small-size, cheap, self-contained and often poorly executed versions of the battery systems mentioned above. They are almost invariably advertised with charging voltages as high as 14.4-14.6V (and now 14.8V as of 2018!), which would quickly damage the cells: nothing within the battery can possibly do anything about the charging voltage being excessive, for too long etc. The high-voltage protection is always set far too high in order to allow connecting them to any automotive system without tripping it: it just has to be. It is a "catastrophic failure protection" only, it won't prevent ruining the cells gradually. If the high-voltage protection trips, it will open the charging circuit and destroy the alternator if the engine is running: this is the only thing it can do! As long as the charge and discharge currents are within the capability of the disconnect relay, as a single unit, such a battery could perform acceptably on an installation where charging voltages have been adjusted suitably low not to stress lithium cells. In this case, the balancing circuit will never manage to operate. They are generally not suitable for installation in parallel for building larger systems, because this equates to paralleling strings of cells, even current distribution cannot be preserved and there is a risk of burning out the protection relays. Some of these "replacement" packaged batteries have continuous current ratings as low as 30A… because high-current disconnect relays are expensive. These issues around the adequacy of the protection system don't always arise however: sometimes there is simply none built-in!
More recently (2018), marketing fuelled by the need for differentiation has started to outperform electrochemistry with vendors claiming to have access to their own branded "magic" cells that resolve all issues and outperform the competition to lure buyers in. This is how some packaged LiFePO4 batteries now come with fabulous claims of suitability for operation at extreme low temperatures, no memory effects from partial cycles and extremely dubious performance curves.
While the integration of a BMS is a step forward in the right direction from earlier claims by the same crowd that it was "unnecessary", it still fails to resolve very fundamental issues. Such packaged batteries remain largely inadequate for building large systems and essentially have no place on board ocean cruising yachts.
The primary driver for designing and building energy storage systems on board yachts starting from bare battery cells instead is cost. Longer life is also definitely achievable when comparing with commercial offerings, as those are designed to provide performance with rather limited thoughts given to true battery longevity. Bare battery cells are readily available on the market at much more affordable prices than when purchased as pre-assembled packs. The goal is therefore integrating them into safe, decent systems and leverage off the cost advantage, but the savings are only going to be achieved if the installation first performs and then also lasts. The task is definitely possible, but it involves overcoming a few challenges. Experience has shown that getting a system that performs after installation is near-trivial; building a safe installation protected against adverse incidents is a little more involved, and making it last the distance can be a different story again. The objective here is discussing the engineering and construction of safe and highly dependable DIY systems, not launching in a shopping spree in the tens of thousands of dollars. So the remaining material on this site about lithium power on board deals with assembling, installing, commissioning and using such DIY systems. There is a certain amount of knowledge anyone should gain before committing to building (or even changing to) a lithium battery system however. The next article in this series is aimed at summarising and explaining what lithium battery cells are, why they are different and what needs attention. It is a more effective approach than wading through a multitude of research papers discussing lithium-ion battery cells or trying to separate opinions and facts from conflicting sources.
Before even considering sourcing any battery cells, the on-board electrical system must be reviewed and all connections pertaining to loads must be physically separated from charging sources. On a standard, tidy installation, it all leads to positive and negative busbars. At a minimum, the positive bus must be split into distinct charge and load buses and the corresponding cabling moved.
High-current DC disconnectors must be installed in the paths between the battery and the new busbars, so the battery can be isolated from loads and/or charging sources if needed.
The cells that will make up the battery need to be charged and carefully balanced before they can be interconnected to form a bank.
Electronic protection circuitry must be installed to ensure that none of the cells can ever exceed their operating voltage limits and the battery never starts heating up.
All charging sources and regulators that will ever feed the new battery need to be re-assessed for suitability: either they can be reconfigured to operate acceptably, or they will need replaced.
It is a project, and it needs to be implemented either very well or not at all.
Can you explain in more detail why you say the negative side of sources and loads also need to be separated? It seems you want all current, whether in or out to be going through a single path (shunt or hall effect sensor) anyway. It would seem that high side contactors can be used on the positive side and that's enough. What am I missing?
p.s. very nicely done explanations on your pages, thanks much.
I had to search the page and re-read my text to understand the motivation for your query. I will now alter the way I worded this to clarify that only the positive bus needs to be split to segregate charging sources and loads. A common negative is usually fine.
There is one situation where you would split the negative bus and it is if you wanted to sense (on the low side): 1/ current produced, 2/ current used and 3/ battery current to get a full picture of the current flow in the installation. This would require three sensors however.
The most common arrangement is sensing battery current only and then a single shunt or sensor between the common negative busbar and the battery bank is all that is required.
I have been working on an article detailing the electrical design on board and available options to integrate a lithium bank, but producing this kind of material is extremely time consuming and it is forever competing for time with engineering and design work.
First, you really need to make sure that you can't end up with both buses linked and no battery in the system. If this happens, you can damage the entire electrical system on board. Good design easily rules out this possibility, but the choice of a common junk-grade BMS solution by many people has caused it to happen many times due to the single battery disconnect contactor.
Second, think about what will happen if you face a high-voltage disconnect where the charging sources get isolated from the bank for protection. Some devices can fail if disconnected under load, or can generate fairly high voltages afterwards on the now open charge bus and damage other sources.
A lot of poorly engineered DIY lithium systems work great initially, until something suddenly happens that results in a great deal of expensive damage on board. We don't hear so much about this on the internet, but it is surprisingly frequent. Engineering the installation properly requires a lot of thought, but it is perfectly achievable.
Thank you for pointing out the need for clarification in this article, much appreciated.

She mixes machine piecing, machine quilting and hand embroidery and quite often also adds texture in the form of different techniques to her surfaces. She will for instance let a thatched roof or furrows on a winter field actually stand out as a 3D representation – and interpretation of the motif – something textile can do so much better than painting. Or she will make free standing petals for a flower or in some cases the whole flower as an individual object and then attach it to the quilt. Hand embroidery is also often used for adding texture and interest to a surface.
Always having been creative she learned to sew from an early age from her mother and grandmother so it was a natural thing for her to continue using textile techniques to express her joy of life and nature.
