Tinnitus research: the projects we're funding to find new treatments
By: Ralph Holme | 05 February 2019
We're funding research to help develop potential treatments for tinnitus and, ultimately, cures. Dr Ralph Holme, our Executive Director of Research, tells us about the exciting tinnitus projects we are funding thanks to the generosity of our supporters.
In the UK alone, 6 million people (around one in 10 of us) have tinnitus. For 600,000 people, tinnitus causes serious anxiety and stress. While there are different ways to manage tinnitus, there isn't yet a cure. That's why tinnitus research is so important.
What we've achieved so far
Tinnitus is in the brain
Before 2000, we knew very little about which parts of the auditory (hearing) system were involved in tinnitus. This led to us funding a three-year project at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. The research team used a brain imaging technique and discovered that tinnitus was associated with increased activity in part of the brain called the inferior colliculus.
We funded a follow-up project at UCL to investigate what this part of the brain does. Our research showed that it acts like a 'volume control': it amplifies activity when signals from the ear are weak, and turns activity down when signals are strong. It suggests that we could potentially treat tinnitus by developing drugs that would turn activity down in this part of the brain.
Damage to the cochlea triggers tinnitus-related hyperactivity in the brain
Research we funded in Australia has shown that damage to the cochlea caused by exposure to loud noise triggers hyperactivity in the 'hearing' parts of the brain. Importantly, the research also showed that if signals from the cochlea to the brain are blocked soon after the onset of tinnitus then tinnitus-related hyperactivity is reduced. But if the signals are blocked later on, there is no effect. This research suggests there may be two stages to the development of tinnitus. An initial phase, dependent on signals from the cochlea to the brain, and then a second phase, where tinnitus becomes established in the brain. Research effort is now focused on finding a way of safely blocking the signals from the ear that trigger tinnitus. This could ultimately lead to a treatment for people who have only recently developed tinnitus.
While we've made great progress, there's still a lot we don't know about how and why tinnitus begins. We hope the current projects we are funding will give us clues towards developing treatments for all types of tinnitus.
Stress, anxiety and tinnitus
At Johns Hopkins University in the US, we're funding research to investigate how high levels of anxiety and stress might affect the chance of developing tinnitus and its severity. The research team is also looking at a chemical called serotonin that is found in the brain. It plays a role in anxiety and stress, and is also involved in controlling the activity of the auditory nerve. The team is testing whether drugs that change the way this chemical works can reduce tinnitus. If it does, it could lead to a new way of treating tinnitus.
Investigating the auditory nerve
The auditory nerve carries information about sound from the inner ear to the brain. The nerve is made up of neurons, which carry the electrical signal, and glia cells that maintain and support the neurons. Research has shown that failures in communication between glia and neurons can trigger conditions such as chronic pain and migraine. We're funding a project at UCL to investigate how glia and neurons communicate in the auditory nerve, and how these processes might change when tinnitus is present. This research could suggest new ways of treating tinnitus.
Sleep and tinnitus
We're funding a project at University of Oxford in which researchers will monitor how brain activity changes as tinnitus develops and how this activity changes when we sleep. Brain activity is very different when we're asleep, helping us to learn and form memories. Our project will help discover whether these processes play a role in getting tinnitus. If they do, then drugs that regulate them might help treat tinnitus.
Developing an objective test for tinnitus
Measuring tinnitus is a major difficulty for researchers developing treatments. We rely on people describing their tinnitus, which is subjective. We also do behavioural tests in animals, and these may not accurately reflect tinnitus in people.
Later this year, we'll be starting a new project in Newcastle to tackle this problem. The research team will be developing an objective 'biomarker' that will indicate if someone has tinnitus. To do this, the team will use a brain imaging technique called electroencephalography (EEG) to measure brain activity patterns when a person is listening to sound with silent gaps in it. If someone has tinnitus, it's fair to assume they will not 'hear' the silent gaps and so will show a different pattern of brain activity. If this is successful, we would have an objective tinnitus test, which would make it much easier to test and develop new treatments.
Please support our research
None of our research would be possible without the generosity of all our supporters who are helping us bring forward the day when there will be effective treatments. Please donate today.
We're funding a range of exciting tinnitus research projects, including Dr Will Sedley's at Newcastle University. He is developing an objective test for tinnitus – this would be a major step because it would help researchers to test whether potential new treatments work.

A new drug to protect hearing?
Certain medicines can harm hearing as a side-effect. We funded research to understand how a new drug might protect hearing when someone has to take one of these medicines. Tracey, from our Research team, explains in her blog post.

Protecting hearing from ear-toxic medicines
With the help of our funding, researchers at the UCL Ear Institute have shown that structures called stress granules, which form when a cell is damaged or otherwise stressed, can protect hair cells from the damage caused by ototoxic (ear-toxic) medicines, such as aminoglycoside antibiotics. Dr Ralph Holme, from our Research team, tells us more.

For my blue-loving friends. This house is in Lucca on walk from our airbnb to supermarket. I'm pondering painting a room in my house this color. All the vibrant wall colors in Italy, inside and outside make me want to change our mostly white walls. Will I have the nerve?
I support you in changing room colors D!
everyday things. I like that.
Yes! What a gorgeous color! I think it would look beautiful in your house, you'd be surprised how a shot of color lifts one's spirits. I still get a smile whenever I walk into my red office. Go for it (or at least start with one wall), you'll love it.


Dubai has always distinguished itself with its willingness to adopt innovative technologies in order stay ahead of the curve in the fast-paced Middle East region. A recent announcement by the local government on the launch of its own cryptocurrency emCash is a testimony to this commitment, and a step towards Dubai's firm positioning as a strong global player in the world of cryptocurrency finance.
The flexibility and convenience of cryptocurrencies coupled with the government's support of the paradigm changing blockchain technologies have opened a new era in the dynamic regional financial markets. Nonetheless, there are a number of challenges this relatively young, nine-year-old industry is facing in spite of the unparalleled opportunities on the horizon. One of these is the fact that it is now seen as both a competitor and potential partner for the 'legacy' financial industry.
Currently cryptocurrencies have a total market capitalization hovering around $150 billion. In the past four years they have seen an enormous growth in value and in variety. According to Evgeny Xata, CEO of Luxembourg-based CyberTrust, demand for both securitised crypto as well as crypto derivatives in the next five years is expected to skyrocket, and are predicted to capture at least 1% of the total derivatives market worldwide, which is currently estimated at $500 trillion.
Nonetheless, thus far it has been difficult for institutional investors to take advantage of this growth. Numerous barriers currently hamper them from capitalizing on the unique opportunities presented. These include a lack of titled and auditable ownership of cryptocurrencies, the abnormally high clearing and settling risks, a lack of legal framework to enable judicial recovery in case of disputes, and of course the risk of theft risks due to security breaches.
Thus far not a single crypto-derivative product has completed the ISO 6166 certification process resulting in an International Securities Identification Number (ISIN). Cryptocurrency price quotes cannot be found in the financial sections of most major newspapers. These are important facts, because they are reminders that despite impressive growth in cryptocurrency asset value thus far, the level of awareness and participation on the part of institutional financial markets is still quite limited.
The Ethereum story is a good reminder of the aforementioned issues. In 2016, Vitalik Buterin, the creator of the Ethereum blockchain, met with the Chairman & CEO of the largest banking group in Central Europe. This meeting led to the CEO showing an interest in blockchain technology, and particularly in Ethereum. He was contemplating a substantial institutional investment into the Ethereum ecosystem. Nonetheless even after a 40x explosion in the value of Ethereum tokens, the deal remained unfinished. Simply put, legal requirements, accounting restrictions, tax regulations, due diligence and the like made the investment deal unrealistic for any large institutional investor.
At this point the only option available is the $1.3b Grayscale fund, which currently charges a hefty 84% premium for its services.
With this in mind, what could be done to bring the cryptocurrencies into the institutional banking world and allow the more traditional, institutional investors to take a full advantage of the cryptocurrency revolution?
Time will tell which models will win out, but with crypto-based funding in 2017 for the first time exceeding funding via the more traditional avenues of IPOs and private equity, one thing seems certain: cryptocurrencies are here to stay.

Very sad news today...
Annette Funicello, one of the best-known members of the original 1950s "Mickey Mouse Club" and a star of numerous 1960s "beach party" films, died Monday at a California hospital, the Walt Disney Co. said. Funicello, who was 70, "died peacefully from complications due to multiple sclerosis, a disease she battled for over 25 years."
She remained with Disney after leaving the "Mickey Mouse Club," appearing in TV shows including "Zorro" (1957), "The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca" (1958) and starring in the Disney feature films "The Shaggy Dog" (1959), "Babes in Toyland" (1961), "The Misadventures of Merlin Jones" (1964) and "The Monkey's Uncle" (1965).
The most enduring images of Funicello, though, may be of her in a bikini, her primary wardrobe when she co-starred with teen idol Frankie Avalon in beach party movies in the early 1960s. These included "Beach Party" (1963), "Muscle Beach Party" (1964), "Bikini Beach" (1964), "Beach Blanket Bingo" (1965), and "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini" (1965).
It must have been an amazing experience to be as famous as she was back then.
She will be missed.

In Memoriam of Production Designer Ken Adam (1921-2016)
Much like the rest of the Bond world, FSWL mourns the death of legendary production designer Sir Ken Adam (born in Berlin on 5th February, 1921) who designed amazing set pieces for Dr. No (1962), Goldfinger (1964) (1964), Thunderball (1965) (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker (1979) (1979). We send our deep condolences to his wife and thank him for decades of brilliant Design.
Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said in a comment published on 007.com: "The Bond family mourns the passing of our beloved friend [Sir Ken Adam] who was so responsible for the visual style of the James Bond films from their inception. A genius and a gentleman he will be deeply missed."
"Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Ken Adam, a genius and one of the most important figures for the success of the early Bond films with truly amazing set designs. I was lucky to spend some time with the legend over the years and most recently in Norway where FSWL co-hosted an event for the 50th anniversary of Goldfinger in Oslo. Sir Ken was a great storyteller with so many memorable tales about the making of his (seven) Bond adventures. One that comes to mind was the first time I met him, in 1999 at Serpentine Gallery in London where an exhibit was dedicated to his extraordinary work, when he explained the fright in Sean Connery's eyes after realising the security glass wasn't fully protecting him from the sharks in the pool he was in... RIP, sir. Will never forget your kindness, friendship and the remarkable life you had that surely will never be repeated." – Anders Frejdh
"Sir Ken Adam - a friend, a visionary and the man who defined the look of the James Bond films." – Roger Moore on Twitter after hearing about Sir Ken's death.
Norman Wanstall, Academy Award winning dubbing editor who worked on the first five Bond films (plus Never Say Never Again in 1983), remembers working with Sir Ken:
"I've always said that Ken is the only person I've met in my life who I would call a true genius. I am in awe of his achievements on the Bonds and I honestly believe much of the success of those early films is a result of his stunning creations.
My favourite story about him goes back to Dr No, for which he had to create a set in which Professor Dent picks up a box containing a tarantula. As you will recall, Ken designed the remarkable set in the shape of a dome, and I've never forgotten the moment when it came up in the rushes as everyone immediately burst into applause. It's not something that ever happens during a showing of rushes and I doubt it's ever happened on a film before or since. The fact that everyone reacted at the same moment said it all and it could only have happened to a creative genius like Ken. It was a moment in my career that I shall never forget. What a man he was.
As for his volcano set for You Only Live Twice – that was hardly a set but more an engineering feat. I remember how every day we couldn't wait for lunch time when we'd rush across to see how far the set had grown. None of us had ever seen anything like it before and it took our breath away. It was a true masterpiece of design and construction. I doubt anything as ambitious has ever been created since."
Other Bond alumni paying their respect to Sir Ken:
"Another genius leaves us, hopefully from a secret underground hollowed out volcano lair. RIP and Gods speed, Ken." – David Arnold, music composer for every Bond film from 1997 to 2008
"Oh no, Sir Ken ... another one of the Greats who has left us! RIP" – John Richardson, Miniatures, model effects, special effects and visual effects supervisor on nine James Bond films
"How very sad that Ken is no longer with us. I had a wonderful time in Oslo with him. We seemed to be squashed together in a car for much of the two days we were there celebrating 50 years of Goldfinger. The most interesting time was when we all stopped in a cafe on the waterfront and he started to talk about some of the more dangerous stunts he had been involved with on the Bond films. I remember thinking that if I'd had a tape recorder...! He was a delightful man and I am honoured to have spent this time with him." – Margaret Nolan
"Another sad loss! RIP, Sir Ken." – Pauline Hume, End titles designer on every Bond film since The Living Daylights (1987) and daughter of legendary cinematographer Alan Hume
"One of the giants in his field. If memory serves me correctly I met him briefly at a production meeting at Pinewood in connection with The Spy Who Loved Me." – Rick Sylvester, the man behind the most amazing stunt in film history (the ski parachute jump in TSWLM)
About legendary production designer Ken Adam
Sir Ken (born Kenneth) grew up in a Jewish family as the son of a former Prussian cavalryman. His father owned a fashion retail shop, which enabled Adam to be educated at the Französisches Gymnasium, and the family to have a summer house on the Baltic.
In 1933, however, on the ascent to power of the Nazi Party, Adam watched from the Tiergarten as the Reichstag burned. That same year his father's shop was forced into bankruptcy by actions of the Brown Shirts, and the family agreed to relocate to England.
Adam's family moved to England in 1934, when Adam was 13 years old. Adam went to St. Paul's School in Barnes, attended University College London and Bartlett School of Architecture, training to be an architect.
When World War II started, as German citizens he and his family should have been interned, but Adam had been seconded to design Bomb shelters. He joined the Royal Pioneer Corps, a non-combat support unit that all Axis-citizens who were resident in Allied countries, and deemed not to present a security risk, could join.
In 1940, Adam successfully applied to join the Royal Auxiliary Air Force as a pilot, one of only two German pilots in the wartime RAF. This was a brave move: if he had been shot down and captured, instead of being sent to a prisoner of war camp, the Germans would have been able to hang him as a traitor.
Flight Lieutenant Adam, nicknamed "Heinie the tank-buster" by No. 609 Squadron colleagues for his daring exploits, joined the squadron on 1 October 1943, stationed at RAF Lympne. The squadron flew the Hawker Typhoon, initially in support of USAF long-range bombing missions over NW Europe, and latterly in support of ground troops including at the battle of the Falaise Gap, in Normandy after D-Day.
In 1944, Ken's brother Dennis joined No. 183 Squadron, joining him in No. 123 Wing.
Adam first entered the film industry as a draughtsman for This Was a Woman (1948), and met his Italian wife Maria Letizia while filming in Ischia, whom he married on August 16, 1952. His first major screen credit was as the production designer on the British thriller Soho Incident (1956). In the mid-1950s he went to Hollywood where he worked (unaccredited) on the epics Around the World in 80 Days (1956) and Ben-Hur (1959). His first major Hollywood credit was the cult Jacques Tourneur horror film Night of the Demon (1957) and he was the production designer on several films directed by Robert Aldrich. He was hired for the first James Bond film, Dr No. In 1964 he designed the famous triangular Pentagon war room set for Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove, although turned down the opportunity to work with Kubrick's next project 2001: A Space Odyssey after he found out that Kubrick had been working with NASA for a year on space exploration.
This enabled Adam to make his name with his innovative, semi-futuristic sets for the James Bond films. The super tanker set for The Spy Who Loved Me was the largest sound stage in the world at the time it was built.
Adam's other notable credits include the cult Michael Caine spy thriller The Ipcress File (1965) and its sequel Funeral in Berlin (1966), the Peter O'Toole version of Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1969), Sleuth (1972), Salon Kitty (1976), Agnes of God (1985), Addams Family Values (1993) and The Madness of King George (1994). He also acted as a visual consultant on the acclaimed BBC-TV adaptation of Dennis Potter's Pennies from Heaven (1981).
Adam returned to worked with Kubrick on Barry Lyndon (1975), for which he won his first Oscar®. He also designed the famous car for the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), which was also produced by the same team that was responsible for the James Bond film series. During the late 1970s he worked on storyboards and concept art for a new Star Trek film that was in pre-production. The film, known as Planet of the Titans, was eventually shelved by Paramount Pictures.
A member of jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 1980, and the 1999 Berlin International Film Festival; in 1999 the Victoria and Albert Museum held an exhibition entitled "Ken Adam - Designing the Cold War" in which he talked about his role in designed film sets so associated with the 1960s thru to the 1980's.
Naturalised as a British citizen, having been awarded an OBE for services to the film industry; in 2003 under the Diplomatic Services, Ken was awarded Knight Bachelor for services to the film industry and Anglo-German relations, and knighted in 2003 by Queen Elizabeth II.
A selection of Ken Adam's awards:
• 1964: BAFTA Film Award for Dr. Strangelove
• 1965: BAFTA Film Award for The Ipcress File
• 1975: Academy Award for Best Art Direction recreating 18th century England in Barry Lyndon
• 1994: Academy Award for Best Art Direction for work on The Madness of King George
He was also nominated for a BAFTA for Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Sleuth, Barry Lyndon, The Spy Who Loved Me and The Madness of King George. Sir Ken was also nominated for Academy Awards for Around the World in Eighty Days, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Addams Family Values. He also received the Art Directors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002.
Sir Ken is survived by his wife of over sixty years, Letizia.

Summer? Meh! Just noodling.... Does anyone bicycle "Toys for Tots"?
Yeah. I miss riding in the winter!
Here in the Dr. Mambohead Auxiliary Analog Laboratory our tame gutter-gnomes have been hard at work for the approaching Winter season... They've washed all the fleece... Dealt with the Mt. Skidmore of long underwear. Their latest fixation?
Q: Has anyone bicycled "Toys for Tots"? Could we? lo, should we (dare we?) see if we could bike along w/"Toys for Tots"?!?
Think of the cargo bike fun!
Look, i ain't sittin' around. Brothers and Sisters! The time is now! Only one more full Season remains until official Winter Biking fun begins!!!!
Sources say the gutter gnomes are lobbying the FDA for approval of a bagel schmeer that is ALSO a tire/tube patch!!!
Toys for tots is more fun than words can describe!
You're talking about the motorcycle ride on Western Ave in December, right?
OK, I am down with the idea, but are you proposing 'official' participation, or crashing the paradel; and would the expectation be that the motorcycles just pass the bikes?
yeah! mass up with them! i have seen the toys for tots ride several times. always from the sidelines. i dig the spirit and i dont see why they would not want us in the mix. i had heard some bicycles have rolled with it. are they going to turn us and our toys away?
when else can we roll western av with so few cars?
as i saw, a couple waves leave the south side, we could mass up with an early wave and head to the armory.
amlings too! why not!!!!?! it is gonna be a great bike winter!
dunno! is this a stuation where forgiviness is easier than permission?
how often do we get to ride that much of western without cars!
I guess a next step in answering this question would be to find out what one would be committing to with an "official" entry in the parade. If the entry were on behalf of Bike Winter (um . . . do I have the banner?) there could be some funds available if there are any costs to cover.
h i will look into this tomorrow. maybe a great fit with working bikes?
Cool, let me know. Not sure how much excess organizational capacity WBC might have at the moment.
TfT's board meeting is tonight at vfw near argo, 63rd w of harlem. I spoke with one of their honcho's... at first he summarily said 'no' but then?... invited me to submit the idea as new biz at their meeting... where he felt they would likely say no.
the harley marine corps event guy invoked the holy names of insurance, liability... registered vehicals... etc etc as to why we possibly could not ride.
born to be wild? i guess.
ok, now i am bird-dogging this. if anyone wants a piece of the fun? i am going to their meeting. pls co-ordinate with me.
h-may i speak as a rep of the 'bike winter' family?


Each year, over 250 of your fellow seasonal and year-round New Hampshire residents collect water quality measurements on nearby lakes, ponds, and stream inlets through the New Hampshire Lakes Lay Monitoring Program (LLMP). Program participants are typically members of an umbrella organization such as local conservation commissions, road associations, and lake/watershed associations who have an interest in monitoring and protecting our local water resources.
How do I get involved in the LLMP?
To get involved, first see if your local lake group is already involved in a water quality monitoring effort. If they're not, we're happy to help you get started! To get new LLMP volunteers up and running, Cooperative Extension staff provide an initial training session to familiarize participants with the program philosophy and sampling methodologies. The trained LLMP volunteers then collect water quality samples on a fixed schedule while Cooperative Extension provides on-going support to the program participants.
What does being an LLMP volunteer mean?
In exchange for the training and ongoing program support, participants collect water quality samples from designated lakes and ponds. Cooperative Extension staff provide annual interpretive summaries that provide an overview of the water body's condition.
Over 1100 volunteers have collected water quality samples through the LLMP since the beginning of the volunteer monitoring effort in 1979. Many volunteers have become "local experts" who relay the water quality findings to their neighbors and to their broader conservation commission and Lake/watershed association memberships through direct presentations, written articles for newspapers and local newsletters.
We are looking for lakeshore residents and other individuals interested in better understanding and protecting your local lake, ponds and associated stream inlets. Current and past LLMP volunteers have included conservation commission members, conservation group staff, teachers, naturalists, retired professionals, and more!
How does the LLMP work?
New program participants attend an initial training session of approximately 4 hours to become familiar with the program philosophy and procedures while the Lakes Lay Monitoring Program staff provide ongoing support. The initial training session is typically conducted at a designated location where the volunteer(s) will be performing subsequent water quality sampling. Participants collect water quality samples at a designated sampling location(s) and at a predetermined frequency. The program is tailored to the needs/interests of the overarching program sponsor (e.g. lake association, town-affiliated organization).
Tools for lake monitoring come in all shapes and sizes and even the simplest methods generate valuable data. An initial training session and ongoing program support are performed at no charge. Volunteers can borrow a water quality monitoring kit and collect basic temperature and water transparency measurements at no charge. Additional water chemistry measurements, collected to more fully assess the water quality are charged on a per/sample and/or per trip basis to cover labor and supply costs. Some organizations also choose to purchase their own sampling kit for convenience.
If you have any further questions about the LLMP, please contact Bob Craycraft at bob.craycraft@unh.edu or 603-862-3696. We look forward to hearing from you!


A report from the Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI) and the Immigrant Rights Clinic, New York University School of Law, released in September, provides new well-documented data and policy analysis on Black immigrants in the United States, primarily Caribbean and African immigrants. Based on the latest available statistical data and a careful analysis of migration policies and their implementation, this report is a basic resource for scholars and for activists. It includes an informative and detailed glossary that is essential for those of us who are not specialists in immigration law and related issues.
This AfricaFocus Bulletin contains brief excerpts. The full report, including footnotes, tables, and more detailed analysis and specific policy recommendations, is available in two parts on-line in pdf format (http://tinyurl.com/jvaqolo and http://tinyurl.com/jzg9d97).
In an era where #BlackLivesMatter and #Not1More have become rallying cries for racial justice and immigrants' rights activists respectively, it's important that we uplift the common challenges that cross both movements - mass incarceration, policing, immigrant detention, deportations, deprivation of civil rights and civil liberties, economic inequality, and the destruction of families and communities. These problems are prevalent in all communities of color in the U.S. But unlike Black Americans and immigrants of other backgrounds, Black immigrants face the aforementioned challenges in ways that are unique and consequential.
For over a decade, the Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI) has sought to raise the public consciousness around issues impacting Black immigrants through education, advocacy, grassroots organizing, and storytelling. Despite our successes, which include consolidating Black immigrant power and mobilizing the Black diaspora around the human rights issues that transcend our communities, Black Americans and Black immigrants remain at the margins of society.
When it comes to Black immigrants, terms such as "marginalization" and "oppression" understate the difficulties faced by this community. Simply put, Black immigrants are invisible. They are absent from the mainstream and media representation of immigrants. Their narratives are merged with the stories of other communities of color in the United States. Research and readily available data on Black immigrants is scant.
Even the notion of "Black immigrants" as an identity group is foreign to most. For this reason, we recognized that any research report about Black immigrants – and this report in particular – must serve two purposes: (1) to provide basic demographic information about Black immigrants and (2) to highlight the unique social and economic challenges facing this immigrant group.
This report confirms our hypothesis: Black immigrants, one of the fastest growing demographic groups in the U.S., face a myriad of challenges that parallel those of Black Americans. While this report is substantive, it is only the beginning. Our hope is that we will be able to build on the body of research available on the Black immigrant experience in the U.S. and that this report, in particular the recommendations toward the end, will lay the groundwork for a Black immigrant policy agenda over the coming years.
The last four decades have represented a period of significant demographic change in the United States. Now more than ever, Black immigrants compose a significant percentage of both immigrant and Black populations in the U.S. overall. This report presents a statistical snapshot of the Black immigrant population, drawing upon recent studies and original analysis.
Size and growth of the overall population.
The number of Black immigrants in the United States has increased remarkably in recent decades. Population data on Black immigrants is difficult to ascertain, as the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services does not track immigration data by race. Some studies suggest that there are as many as 5 million Black immigrants in the U.S. According to our analysis of the 2014 American Community Survey (ACS) data, a record estimate of 3.7 million Black immigrants live in the United States. While this analysis is conservative, it still represents a four-fold increase when compared to the number of Black immigrants who lived in the U.S. in 1980 (which was only about 800,000) and a 54% increase from 2000 (roughly 2.8 million).
The overall growth of the Black immigrant population represents a significant change in the demographics of both the Black population and the immigrant population more broadly in the United States. First, Black immigrants represent an increasing percentage of Black people in the United States as a whole. The ACS data shows that while Black immigrants accounted for only 3.1% of the Black population in the U.S. in 1980, Black immigrants now account for nearly 10% of the nation's Black population. This growth is particularly significant in states with the largest number of Black immigrants. For example in New York, Black immigrants make up almost 30% of the total Black population in the state, making it the top state for Black immigrants in the U.S. Florida seconds the list with over 20% of its Black population being foreign-born. The Census Bureau projects that by 2060, 16.5% of America's Black population will be foreign-born.
Percentage of the foreign-born population.
Second, Black immigrants make up a significant portion of the overall immigrant and non-citizen population in the U.S. According to the 2014 one-year estimates from ACS, the estimated total of foreign-born population in the U.S. was 42 million, within which 8.7% were Black immigrants. In addition, about 22 million of the U.S. foreign-born population were non-citizens, among whom 7.2% were Black.
Diversity based on country or region of origin.
While Black immigrants in the U.S. come from diverse backgrounds and regions of the world, immigrants from African and Caribbean countries comprise the majority of the foreign-born Black population. According to the 2014 ACS data, Jamaica was the top country of origin in 2014 with 665,628 Black immigrants in the U.S., accounting for 18% of the national total. Haiti seconds the list with 598,000 Black immigrants, making up 16% of the U.S. Black immigrant population.
Although half of Black immigrants are from the Caribbean region alone, African immigrants drove much of the recent growth of the Black immigrant population and made up 39% of the total foreignborn Black population in 2014. The number of African immigrants in the U.S. increased 153%, from 574,000 in 2000 to 1.5 million in 2014, with Nigeria and Ethiopia as the two leading countries of origin. Besides African and Caribbean regions, an estimated 4% of Black immigrants are from South America, another 4% are from Central America, 2% are from Europe and 1% from Asia.
Length of residency in the U.S.
Geographic dispersion in the U.S.
The geographic dispersion of Black immigrants is highly concentrated. New York State is home to 846,730 (23%) Black immigrants, making it the top state of residence. Florida has the second largest foreign-born Black population (18%), followed by Texas (6%) and Maryland (6%). Some Black immigrant communities tend to cluster together around certain metropolitan areas. For example, according to the Pew study of 2013 ACS data, New York City is home to nearly 40% of all foreign-born black Jamaicans in the U.S.; Miami has the nation's largest Haitian immigrant community; Washington D.C. has the largest Ethiopian immigrant community; and Somalian immigrants concentrate in metropolitan areas of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
A significant percentage of Black immigrants have obtained degrees through higher education, but the percentage remains lower than the U.S. population as a whole. According to the ACS 2014 data, more than a quarter (27%) of Black immigrants age 25 and older have a bachelor's degree or higher, three points below the percentage of the overall U.S. population. However, the proportion with an advanced degree is similar among all Americans (11%) and Black immigrants (10%). When comparing Black immigrants with Asian and Hispanic immigrants, the differences are more apparent. About 30% of Asian immigrants age 25 and older have completed at least a fouryear degree, whereas only 11% of Hispanic immigrants have done so. Within Black immigrants, educational attainment also varies among different regions of birth. About 34% of African immigrants age 25 and older have at least a bachelor's degree, including 14% with an advanced degree. In comparison, only 6.2% of Caribbean immigrants age 25 and older have an advanced degree. Nonetheless, education attainment for Black immigrants from Africa is still lower than those from Europe and Asia, with 16.7% and 18.6% of them have an advanced degree respectively.
IV. Economic Snapshot of Black Immigrants Household income.
According to a 2011 study by the Economic Policy Institute, Caribbean women earn 8.3% less than U.S. born non-Hispanic white women; African women earn 10.1% less. When we consider subsets of Black immigrants, the differences become even more dramatic. For example, Haitian women earn 18.6% less than U.S. born non-Hispanic white women.
Similarly, Black immigrant men earn lower wages than U.S. born nonHispanic white men. Caribbean men earn 20.7% less than U.S. born non-Hispanic white men and African men 34.7%. Notably, as of 2011 Black immigrant men also earned lower wages than African American males. While earnings for Caribbean men were just 1% less than those of African-Americans, African men earned nearly 15% less than US Born Black men.
Black Immigrants in the Workforce.
Black immigrants are more likely to participate in the labor force than the overall immigrant population. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 70.8% of Black immigrants participate in the civilian labor force.
Black immigrants maintain higher rates of employment in service and sales positions than their counterparts of other immigrant backgrounds. Other areas of employment for Black immigrants include management, finance, and construction.
The percentage of unionized Black immigrants has nearly doubled over the last 20 years from 7% in 1994 to 15.4% in 2015. Black immigrants are more likely than Black Americans to be unionized. 16.9% of Black immigrants are union members, compared to 13.8% of Black Americans. Unionization has proven to have a positive impact on the livelihood of Black workers. On average Black union members, earn nearly $7 more per hour than non-union Black workers. 71.4% of Black union members have employer-provided health care, compared to 47.7% of non-union Black workers. 61.6% of Black union members have employersponsored retirement plans, compared to 38.2% of non-union Black workers.
The majority of Black immigrants are living in the U.S. with formal immigration authorization. According to a Pew study, about 84% of the Black immigrant population are living in the U.S. with authorization. This section of the report presents details about Black immigrants by immigration status.
When compared with the increase of undocumented immigrant population from other regions of the world, African and Caribbean unauthorized immigrants are growing at a lower rate since 2000 than those from Central America (194% without Mexico) and Asia (202%), but faster than those from South America (39%) and Europe (62%).
In creating a "good" versus "bad" migrant binary, President Obama sought to justify a detention and removal campaign that oversaw the deportation of a record 438,421 immigrants in fiscal year 2013 --an increase that has led some to refer to President Obama as "deporterin -chief." Since the start of Obama's administration in 2008, 2.9 million immigrants have been deported from the United States, a majority of whom (58%) have a criminal record.
In a national address in November 2014, President Obama announced that he would focus immigration enforcement resources on individuals with criminal records--"felons, not families." This phrase has been widely criticized as devaluing and dehumanizing individuals with criminal convictions. After all, "felons" have families, too.
The government's increasing focus on immigrants with criminal records disproportionately impacts Black immigrants, who are more likely than immigrants from other regions to have criminal convictions, or at least to be identified through interactions with local law enforcement, because of rampant racial profiling.
President Obama's address to the nation coincided with the Department of Homeland Security's release of a memo outlining new immigration enforcement priorities. DHS noted that it would continue to prioritize national security, border security, and public safety, and went on to rank certain classes of immigrants in order of enforcement priority, with a significant focus on targeting people with criminal records.
Following the November 2014 DHS memo, ICE implemented the revised Civil Immigration Enforcement Priorities (CIEP) in FY 2015, which intensified the focus on removing people with criminal convictions and recent entrants. The highest priority for enforcement resources, known as "Priority 1," groups together immigrants "engaged in or suspected of terrorism or espionage" along with individuals "apprehended at the border while attempting to unlawfully enter the United States." This includes asylum seekers, immigrants convicted of a felony offense and immigrants convicted of an "aggravated felony" as defined in section 101(a) (43) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The term "aggravated felony" includes offenses that are neither aggravated nor felonies and has been expanded over time to include, for example, a single theft offense with a suspended one-year sentence involving no actual jail time. The memo's secondhighest priority for detention and deportation, "Priority 2," includes immigrants convicted of three or more misdemeanor offenses, individuals with a "significant misdemeanor" including drug "distribution" offenses, and people who entered the United States unlawfully after January 1, 2014. The final category, "Priority 3," includes immigrants who were ordered deported after January 1, 2014. ICE continues to remove individuals who do not fall under these revised categories if their removal would serve an important "federal interest."
Black people are far more likely than any other population to be arrested, convicted, and imprisoned in the U.S. criminal enforcement system--the system upon which immigration enforcement increasingly relies. Black people are arrested at 2.5 times the rate of whites. They are more likely than whites to be sentenced to prison, and less likely to be sentenced to probation. According to the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services Division, of the total individuals arrested in 2014, 69.4% were white, 27.8% were Black or African American, and 3% were of another race. These arrest rates demonstrate that Black and African American individuals are arrested at a higher rate than their overall percentage in the population. These disparities exist even when crime rates are the same; for example, although Blacks and whites use marijuana at roughly equal rates, Black people are 3.7 times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana possession.
Despite racial disparities in criminal enforcement, the federal government prioritizes the deportation and detention of individuals with criminal records. In FY 2015, ICE deported 139,368 people with criminal convictions, which represented 59% of all ICE removals. The percentage of people targeted for deportation by ICE based on their criminal records rose from 82% in FY 2013 to 91% in FY 2015. Many of their records involved drug-related convictions. In FY 2003-2013, drug offenses, including simple drug possession, accounted for almost a quarter of all criminal removals.
Three federal agencies are tasked with enforcing immigration laws: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Although immigration law is federal, the U.S. government has instructed state and local law enforcement agencies to assist with immigration enforcement.
The high proportion of immigrants with criminal records who are targeted for immigration enforcement is the result on an intentional and pervasive reliance on the machinery of the criminal enforcement system to identify people for deportation. The criminal enforcement system--each stage of which has been shown to target Black people disproportionately--has become a funnel into the immigration detention and deportation system.
Immigrants are exposed to more risks and vulnerability when they are stopped by the police for minor offenses, such as broken taillights and traffic violations. When the police decide to take on the duties of federal immigration enforcement, they often use these stops to question people about their immigration status and to turn immigrants over to ICE. Several federal programs have made it easier for police to expose immigrants with past criminal records.
Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act authorizes the Department of Homeland Security to partner with state and local law enforcement agencies. The 287(g) Program's Jail Enforcement Teams interview arrestees regarding their immigration status. ... The National Fugitive Operations Program (NFOP) was established on January 25, 2002. Immediately following the events of September 11, 2001, the Justice Department increased efforts to deport immigrants with old removal orders. ... Many individuals identified and deported through this program lived in the United States for many years and have significant family and community ties. NFOP also dispatches Fugitive Operations Teams (FOTs) across the country to arrest "fugitives" and specifically focuses on "residential operations." In late 2006, FOTs began conducting raids more aggressively and demanding document checks on long-distance buses and trains. They also arrest people on the streets, in their homes, and at their workplaces if they cannot produce status documents. FOT practices have been challenged, especially for home raids, based on the lack of judicial warrants or probable cause. The program was still in effect at the time of this report's publication.
Many jails and prisons also participate in the Criminal Alien Program (CAP), which seeks to identify, arrest, and deport individuals who are incarcerated in federal, state, and local prisons and jails, as well as "at-large criminal aliens that have circumvented identification." Law enforcement agencies notify ICE's office of Detention and Removal Operations, which administers CAP, of foreign-born detainees in their custody. ICE then attempts to secure their final orders of removal before they are released from criminal custody.
A criminal conviction could trigger mandatory detention, deportation and ineligibility to reenter the United States. It may also serve as a bar to U.S. citizenship, eligibility to obtain a green card, and various forms of relief from deportation, such as asylum or withholding of removal. A conviction will remain permanently in an individual's immigration file unless it can be "vacated," that is removed, by a judge on the basis of some error in the underlying criminal proceeding.
We have concluded from the overwhelming amount of data that the racialized criminalization evident in the immigration enforcement system has an acute impact on the state of Black immigrants in the U.S.. This result is partially due to discriminatory policing practices and criminal penalties that adversely affect all Black people. Simultaneously, our analysis of the data suggests that racial inequities, evidenced by disproportionate, negative outcomes for Black people, in removal proceedings, also persist in the immigration enforcement system.
It is the Black Alliance for Just Immigration's view that the immigration system must be upended and redesigned to ensure that those entering the U.S. seeking work, refuge or reunification with their families and communities, are treated fairly and with dignity. This transformation can begin by divorcing the U.S. mass criminalization and immigration enforcement regimes. For this reason, the repeal of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act ("IIR-IRA") and Anti-terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act ("AEDPA"), commonly known as the "1996 immigration laws," in favor of policies that shift the focus away from criminal contact as the deciding factor as it pertains to one's immigration status in the US by Congress, is BAJI's primary policy recommendation.
The 1996 immigration laws expanded the grounds for deportation, broadened classes of mandatory detention, stripped away judicial discretion and the right to due process and retroactively punished those who already served time for their offenses. As this report has highlighted, Black immigrants have been disproportionately affected by these laws. The 20th anniversary of IIR-IRA and AEDPA, along with the current political climate, presents an opportunity to reinvigorate the movement to upend the nation's immigration enforcement system.
Just as African-Americans suffer disproportionately high arrest, prosecution and incarceration rates, so too are Black immigrants. This occurs despite no evidence that they engage in more criminalized activities in comparison to any other racial group. Black immigrants are also disproportionately impacted by the compounding impact of the immigration enforcement system. Numerous federal agencies and programs work in conjunction with local law enforcement to criminalize, detain and deport immigrants. The racism present in the criminal legal system spills over and informs the immigration enforcement system, and thus it naturally and unjustly targets Black immigrants at all stages of the process. As the number of Black immigrants living in the United States continues to rise, debates around immigration must acknowledge and rectify the injustice inherent in these enforcement and deportation systems.


Mindfulness is the practice of being present; the moment to moment, non-judgmental awareness of how our thoughts, feelings and habitual patterning affect our behaviour.
Intimacy is the experience of a vulnerable and caring relationship with oneself or another, involving the feeling, expressing and receiving of authentic emotions.
The practice of Mindfulness & Intimacy helps us to cultivate an authentic sense of self and enhances our ability to be present, listen and communicate effectively. With less judgment and blame, we can find our way to more satisfying and nurturing relationships. If you feel an urge to change, as I did, this work may be helpful for you.
Through sharing these practices, I have witnessed numerous people awaken in themselves a greater capacity for passionate, intimate relationships… more than they ever imagined. Every process and practice I share with my clients, I also use personally.
In my Mindfulness and Intimacy Training we explore the workings of our minds and the uncharted territory of our emotional selves. With patience, determination and the courage to be present, it is possible to experience life, with all its ups and downs, in a more genuine and passionate way.

Touch-enabled steering wheel gives sat-nav guidance by pulling skin
Fed up with sat-navs' annoying instructions? Researchers at the University of Utah have created a prototype device that guides drivers by pulling their skin in different directions.

Fed up with the annoying audible instructions from sat-navs? Cheesy celebrity guidance voices doing your head in? Researchers at the University of Utah have created a prototype device that guides drivers by pulling their skin in different directions.
The system provides "shear feedback" -- tactile direction cues issued from a modified IBM TrackPoint mouse 'nipple'. When new directional cues are received from a sat-nav, the TrackPoint mounted in the surface of the steering wheel moves clockwise or anti-clockwise beneath the user's fingers, stretching the skin in a direction corresponding to the requested turn direction.
It's an unusual system, fraught with dozens of potential problems, but early experiments seem to suggest it's pretty effective. In tests, drivers following skin-stretching cues followed directions just as accurately as those following audible cues alone, but followed directions more accurately when facing distractions such as mobile phone calls.
The reason for the improved accuracy, according to the device's creators, is that while drivers may not hear directions, they can still feel them.
The system has plenty of alternative uses outside the field of satellite navigation. Notably, it can be used to warn drivers if they're veering out of their lane, though it may not be quite as effective as current lane-guidance systems that physically turn the steering wheel to get the driver back on the right path.
More interestingly, perhaps, the system could be modified to give guidance to the hearing- or even visually impaired. An operator could issue prompts to a receiver, which would pass tactile instructions telling the user where and when to turn. The operator issuing the directions could even be bypassed completely if the user's handset was linked to a GPS receiver and radar sensors that detect nearby obstacles.
For more information on this unusual system, take a look at the full University of Utah release here. Alternatively, to see it in action, watch the video below.

Q: VueJS - 2 controllers in 1 file How do I make 2 controllers work in 1 view?
For example, this is my view simplified (using CakePHP 3's element page rendering):

        <?= $this->element('main/sub'); ?>

And the controllers (I use requirejs):
require(['jquery', 'vue'], function ($, Vue) {
    return new Vue({
        el: '#main',
        data: {
        },
    });
});

require(['jquery', 'vue'], function ($, Vue) {
    return new Vue({
        el: '#sub',
        data: {
        },
    });
});

I keep getting this error and data in #sub won't render in DOM.

vue.js:1141 [Vue warn]: Avoid using reserved keywords in expression:
  return false;

I'm new to VueJs so I'm unsure if this is a correct setup or not.

A: requirejs.config({
    BaseUrl: 'js', // App Base URL
    paths: {
        vue: 'lib/vue', // /js/lib/Vue.js Library
        component1: 'components/component1', // /js/components/component1.js
        component2: 'components/component2' // /js/components/component2.js
    }
});

require(['vue', 'component1', 'component2'], function(Vue, C1, C2){

    var app = new Vue({
        el: '#app',
        data: {},
        components: {
          component1: C1,
          component2: C2
        }
     });
});

Павел Александрович Гайдебуров (1841, г. Николаев — , Санкт-Петербург) — русский общественный деятель и революционер-демократ, либеральный народник. Был также известен как журналист, литератор и издатель.

Биография
Родился в семье священника. По семейному преданию, предок Гайдебуровых Гайдабура был куренным атаманом в Запорожской Сечи. Получил домашнее образование. После окончания Херсонской гимназии в 1857 году поступил на юридический факультет Петербургского университета, где стал одним из лидеров молодежи и откуда в 1861 году был исключëн за участие в студенческих беспорядках. Содержался в Петропавловской крепости, затем под находился под полицейским надзором.

П. Гайдебуров активно печатался в газетах «Очерки», «Санкт-Петербургские ведомости», журналах «Сын отечества», «Искра», «Русское слово», «Библиотека для чтения», «Иллюстрация» и других. Поместил в ежемесячнике «Современник» (1861, № 5) свой перевод с украинского на русский язык поэмы «Гайдамаки» Т. Шевченко, сопровождаемый своим стихотворением «Песни» с примечаниями. С этим журналом сотрудничал также как прозаик, был автором рубрики «Провинциальных обозрений», писал передовые статьи по внутренним вопросам. В 1862 году в «Основе» вëл раздел «Современная южнорусская летопись».

В 1863 году П. Гайдебуров открыл в столице книжный магазин и читальню, где осуществлял демократическую пропаганду, заподозренный в распространении нелегальной прокламации «Свобода», подвергся обыску. В 1866 издал книгу «Рассказы о великих людях средних и новых времен», в которой поместил ряд биографий, в том числе Яна Гуса, Джордано Бруно, Джорджа Вашингтона, Авраама Линкольна и других.

В 1866 году начал вести в «Современнике» рубрики «Провинциальных обозрений», с 1867 г. — редактор газеты «Гласный суд», заведовал отделом беллетристики журнала «Дело».

В 1868 году П. А. Гайдебуров привлекался к следствию за произнесение речи на похоронах Д. И. Писарева.

С 1869 года П. Гайдебуров — один из авторов и издателей, а с 1875 г. — единоличный владелец еженедельной газеты «Неделя» (о́ргана либеральных народников), которая с 1878 выходила с приложениями. Под его редакцией «Неделя» заняла видное место в русской журналистике. Привлек к сотрудничеству в ней К. Кавелина, Н. Михайловского, Д. Мордовцева, М. Салтыкова-Щедрина и ряд других. В течение первых 8 лет участия в «Неделе» Гайдебуров помещал в каждом номере передовые статьи, а впоследствии много лет подряд писал «литературно-житейские заметки». Отличительною чертою еженедельника, руководимого им, является глубокая преданность интересам народа.

В 1872 году совместно с писательницей Е. Конради опубликовал сборник «Русские общественные вопросы». Написал для него статьи «Реформы и русское общество» и «Личное объяснение, не лишенное общего интереса».

Поместил в сборнике работы социолога и публициста В. Берви-Флеровского, Н. Корфа, Н. Шелгунова и других.

П. Гайдебуров активно участвовал в работе Общества для пособия нуждающимся литераторам и учёным.

This article describes the basic procedure for selecting power transistors: BJTs, MOSFETs and IGBTs for power circuits: audio power amplifiers, inverters, linear and switch-mode power supplies for example. To simplify the explanation, only a power bipolar junction transistor (BJT) will be described, unless otherwise stated, but the information applies equally to the other power devices.
Heat is a form of energy and can move from one location to another by conduction and radiation.
Heat conduction can be likened to the flow of water. Just as water flows from a high pressure to a lower pressure, so heat flows from a high temperature to a lower temperature. And just as a small tube will restrict the flow of water so materials have a thermal resistance and restrict the flow of heat.
In the parlance of thermal calculations the resistance to heat flow is measured in degrees Centigrade, Watt (DCW). Degrees Kelvin Watt (DKW) is also used but they are both the the same thing.
Radiation is the way that the sun's heat travels through space and warms the earth. There can be no conduction through a vacuum (free space) but, just the same as radio waves, heat can be radiated through a vacuum. In fact vacuum tubes (valves) rely heavily on radiation to dissipate heat from their electrodes.
It is so tempting to think that all you need to do is chose a transistor which has a higher power rating than it will be dissipating in your circuit, but this in not the case. In fact the power rating of a transistor is mainly for marketing and has little practical significance.
The two overriding consideration are the transistor's maximum junction temperature (TJmax) and safe operating area (SOA).
The TJmax must not be exceeded, even momentarily. Typical maximum junction temperatures are 150 Deg C and 175 Deg C, but the ubiquitous 2N3055 and MJ2955 have an exceptionally high maximum junction temperature of 200 Deg C.
The other area of concern is the transistor's safe operating area (SOA), which is temperature dependent. The SOA defines the maximum current that a transistor can conduct at the full range of voltages across its C/E. For example a 2N3055 can conduct 15A Amps at 7.5 Volts C/E, but only 3A Amps at 40 Volts C/E.
The SOA is also time dependent, so a transistor is able to handle a higher current for a short duration.
(1) Conduct the heat away from the transistor mounting area by a thermal conducting material (ally or copper but stick with ally for explanation) with a low thermal resistance. This means thick for a sheet of aluminum.
(3) The heatsink surface area must be in free flowing air as cold as possible. The transfer of heat from a heat sink to air is proportional to the difference between the heatsink surface area, the temperature of the heatsink, and the temperature of the air.
For example, if the heatsink surface is 60 deg C and the air in the area of the heatsink is also 60 deg C there will be no convection and no cooling of the heatsink. 60 deg C is not unusual inside equipments.
If the air was 70 deg C, again not uncommon in an equipment cabinet, the air would actually heat the heatsink up instead of cooling it!
Although there are a few power transistors where the case is electrically insulated, normally the collector of a power transistor is connected to the metal part of the case, so unless the heatsink is going to be live, an electrically insulating, but thermally conductive, washer is required between the transistor case and the heatsink.
Alumina followed by mica have the lowest thermal resistance out of the freely available and low cost group of insulating washers. Mica has the best and most stable dialectic followed closely by alumina.
Aluminum oxide has an even lower thermal resistance but is expensive, while Beryllium oxide has the lowest thermal resistance, but is very expensive and is also toxic, so it is now banned. Diamond has the lowest of all thermal resistance, but obviously is not used for insulating washers.
A transistor has a maximum junction temperature of 170 deg C, as shown on the data sheet. That temperature must not be exceeded or the transistor will be destroyed.
The transistor is dissipating 50W. The maximum air temperature in the vicinity of the heat sink is 50 deg C.
The transistor dissipation is 50W so the maximum thermal resistance of the heatsink is 120/50= 2.4 deg C W, a perfectly achievable figure.
It would not be wise to operate the transistor with a maximum junction temperature. You only do that if you absolutely have no option.
A reasonable max junction temp design aim would be 90% of data sheet Tjmax.
So now, Tjmax_design = 0.9 * Tjmax_data_sheet = 0.9 * 170 = 153 deg C. That is now the design maximum junction temperature.
Now the heatsink thermal resistance is, 103 deg C/50W = 2.06 deg C W, a lower figure you will notice.
For an actual design, the thermal budget calculations are exactly the same priciple, excpt you would also have to take into account the thermal resistances between the junction and case, and case to heatsink. When you include these thermal resistances the situation becomes much more critical.
A typical thermal resistances from junction to case for a high power TO-3 transistor, is around 0.8 deg C W and, using a mica washer between the case and heatsink, the thermal resistance between the case and heatsink is 1.1 deg C W.
Finally, the total thermal resistance between the junction and the air is, 0.8 + 1.1 + heatsink thermal resistance.

Traditionally, the dough for bagels is prepared of flour, water, yeast, sugar, and salt but, however, without fat. After being shaped into rings, the dough is kept cool for one day at around 4 degrees Celsius, which allows for the typical skin to form on the outside. The next day, the raw bagels are dumped into boiling hot water and then baked in the oven. In a bakery, the raw bagels which have been formed by a dough processing machine are directly put into the big oven where steam is added before the actual baking. This is how the finished bagel gets its specific consistency: it has a very delicate crust on the outside and is soft but chewy on the inside.
With regard to the production of original bagels, cakes and pastries, American Bagel Company lay the utmost stress up on highest quality standards. This is why they use nothing but fresh, choice ingredients from reliable suppliers. In order to offer its customers an authentic experience of taste, American Bagel Company even imports the dough processing machines for the production of the bagels directly from a manufacturer in New York City.
The American Bagel Company produces ready-baked bagels which are delivered fresh from the oven, as well as pre-baked bagels and raw bagels which are deep frozen and delivered worldwide by expert logistics partners.

La XI Legislatura de la Junta General del Principado de Asturias es la actual legislatura de la Junta General, órgano legislativo de la comunidad de Asturias. Sus miembros fueron elegidos por los resultados de las elecciones autonómicas celebradas el 26 de mayo de 2019. La primera sesión tuvo lugar el día 24 de junio de 2019. De acuerdo al Estatuto de Autonomía de Asturias, la duración de la legislatura será como máximo de 4 años, pudiendo el presidente del Consejo de Gobierno disolverla con anterioridad.

Elección

La elección de los miembros de la XI legislatura de la Junta General del Principado de Asturias tuvieron lugar el 26 de mayo de 2019. Los resultados otorgaron representación a siete formaciones políticas distintas, siendo este el mayor número de partidos con representación en la historia del parlamento. La candidatura ganadora resultó, de nuevo, la presentada por la Federación Socialista Asturiana, aunque quedándose a tres escaños de la mayoría absoluta.

Además del Partido Socialista; el Partido Popular, Ciudadanos, Podemos, Asturias por la Izquierda, Foro Asturias y Vox obtuvieron representación en la Junta.

Acontecimientos posteriores
Tras las elecciones, debido a los malos resultados de su formación, Carmen Moriyón (FAC) anunció que no recogería su acta de diputada.

Los resultados mostraban además que el Partido Popular de Asturias perdería también su senador por designación autonómica.

Sesión constitutiva y elección del Presidente de la Junta General
La XI legislatura dio comienzo el 24 de junio de 2019 con la elección del presidente de la cámara. Tan sólo se presentó un candidato, el socialista Marcelino Marcos, que obtuvo un total de 26 votos, procedentes del PSOE, Podemos e IU.

En cuanto a la formación de los grupos parlamentarios, se llegó a un acuerdo entre las formaciones para reformar el reglamento de la cámara con la intención de evitar un grupo mixto excesivamente grande, permitiendo por tanto que Vox, IU y FAC contaran con grupo propio.

Composición de la Mesa
Además de al Presidente de la Junta General, ese día se escogieron también a los miembros de la Mesa de la Junta General, quedando conformada por los siguientes diputados.

Elección del Presidente del Principado

Proceso de elección
La elección del presidente está regulada por la ley autonómica 6/1984, que sigue el llamado «modelo de pura elección». Se produce tras la constitución de la Junta General del Principado o con el cese del anterior presidente. Serán candidatos a Presidente todos aquellos diputados que hayan sido propuestos por un mínimo de cinco de ellos. En consecuencia, puede haber más de un candidato.

Todos los candidatos expondrán su programa de gobierno en la misma sesión y, tras ella, se celebrará la primera votación, conjunta para todos ellos. Si algún candidato obtuviera mayoría absoluta en esta votación, resultaría elegido. En caso contrario, se realizaría una nueva votación, transcurridas 48 horas, con únicamente los dos candidatos más votados. En este caso, resultaría elegido el candidato con mayor número de votos (mayoría simple). En caso de empate, se repetiría la votación cada 48 horas como mínimo. En todos los casos, los diputados votan públicamente y por llamamiento, contestando con el nombre de un candidato o con la expresión «me abstengo». Si pasados dos meses desde la constitución de la Junta General, no ha sido elegido ningún candidato, ésta quedará disuelta procediéndose a convocar nuevas elecciones.

Negociaciones para la investidura
El líder de la FSA - partido más votado y por tanto el que más posibilidades reunía para hacerse con la presidencia -, Adrián Barbón, en su discurso en la noche electoral rechazó a priori la formación de un ejecutivo de coalición y se abrió a hablar con todos los partidos aunque dijo priorizar las conversaciones con los partidos de izquierdas.

La líder del segundo partido más votado, Teresa Mallada, rechazó presentarse a la investidura, allanado el camino a Barbón.

Por su parte, el líder de Ciudadanos, Juan Vázquez, se desmarcó de la línea seguida por su partido a nivel nacional y se abrió a un posible pacto con los socialistas, aunque acabó dimitiendo poco después precisamente por esas diferencias con la dirección del partido.

Finalmente el PSOE llegó a un pacto de investidura con IU, que le permitía contar con 22 escaños, uno menos de lo requerido para alcanzar la mayoría absoluta. Desde las elecciones se había especulado con un pacto con Podemos en la comunidad, que permitiría al candidato alcanzar la mayoría absoluta, pero las posiciones entre ambos partidos se encontraban muy distanciadas, y debido al sistema de elección asturiano, no se requería esa mayoría para alcanzar la presidencia.

Votación
La primera votación tuvo lugar el 12 de julio de 2019, en la que el único candidato, Adrián Barbón, obtuvo 22 votos, insuficiente para ser investido al requirerse mayoría absoluta. La segunda votación obtuvo idéntico resultado, resultando investido presidente del Principado de Asturias Adrián Barbón, al requirerse en esta ocasión mayoría simple.

Acontecimientos destacados

Pandemia de coronavirus

A causa de la pandemia de coronavirus que asoló a la región, y en el contexto de la pandemia mundial por la enfermedad de coronavirus, el 13 de marzo, la Junta suspendió toda actividad presencial, si bien se mantuvo cierta actividad telemática. En sustitución a las actividades habituales del parlamento, se habilitó un grupo de trabajo en el que de forma regular comparecieron los miembros del Gobierno de Asturias. Los plenos presenciales no se retomarían hasta el 6 de mayo de 2020, al que tan sólo se permitió que acudieran un número reducido de parlamentarios. Pocos días después se retomó también la actividad presencial de las comisiones. Progresivamente se iría recuperando totalmente la actividad presencial.

Además, se constituyó una comisión para analizar la gestión de la pandemia en el Principado. Por otro lado, se rechazó la propuesta del PP de crear una comisión de investigación sobre la gestión en las residencias de ancianos, uno de los focos de la pandemia en Asturias.

Uso del asturiano en la Junta General

Durante la XI Legislatura se modificó el reglamento de la Junta General del Principado de Asturias para permitir que cualquier persona pudiera utilizar el asturiano en sus intervenciones. La votación de la reforma tuvo lugar el 1 de julio de 2020 y contó con el apoyo de los diputados de FSA-PSOE, Podemos, Izquierda Unida y Foro Asturias.

Esta reforma vino como respuesta al intento, en octubre de 2019, de la consejera de Cultura, Política Llingüistica y Turismo, Berta Piñan, de intervenir en asturiano durante su comparecencia ante la Comisión de Turismo. Al inicio de la intervención, la representante del PP, Gloria García, solicitó un traductor, mientras que el portavoz de Vox Asturias, Ignacio Blanco, exigió que no se usara el asturiano. Finalmente, los letrados de la Junta se vieron obligados a intervenir, adoptando una interpretación literal del reglamento, que en su artículo 11 indicaba que tan sólo los diputados tenían el derecho a intervenir en asturiano, y por lo tanto la consejera no podía hacerlo.

Esta decisión provocó la queja de varias formaciones, que exigieron la reforma del reglamento para permitir a cualquier compareciente utilizar el asturiano, sin importar su condición de diputado. Finalmente fue Izquierda Unida quién solicitó formalmente la reforma del reglamento.

Senadores designados
El Senado de España está conformado por un total de 265 senadores, de los cuales tan sólo 208 son elegidos por sufragio directo en las elecciones generales. Los 57 restantes son designados por los parlamentos autonómicos. Asturias cuenta con 4 senadores de elección directa y 2 de designación autonómica, que son nombrados por la Junta General del Principado de Asturias para servir el período de duración de la legislatura autonómica.

Por norma general, los senadores designados se corresponden a una distribución proporcional teniendo en cuenta el número de escaños de cada grupo parlamentario, sin embargo, los pactos entre partidos pueden implicar que los senadores correspondan a grupos parlamentarios más minoritarios.

La Mesa de la Junta General es la que asigna a cada grupo el número de senadores que le corresponde aplicando el método D'Hôndt al número de escaños. Sin embargo, los grupos pueden proponer a cualquier candidato, sin que necesariamente este forme parte del mismo. Finalmente, los candidatos son sometidos a votación en el Pleno de la Junta General, aunque realmente se trata de un mero trámite, ya que no se puede votar en contra de ninguno de los candiatos, tan sólo a favor o en blanco.

A continuación se muestran los senadores designados para el periodo 2019-2023.

Atlanta Teacher Violently Pushes Student Who Tapped His Shoulder [Video]
Written By Jamai Harris
Majic 107.5 / 97.5 is Atlanta's best mix of R&B!
A student at South Atlanta High School claimed that on Oct. 3 he touched a teacher on the shoulder and the teacher shoved him across a desk. Well, video of the incident was obtained by WSB-TV and it seems like the student was telling the truth.
WSB-TV reports, the 17-year-old said it all began when he tapped teacher Henry Coleman on the shoulder and said, "What's up?"
"I just felt my body, my whole body, just fly into the table with books on it. He came to the table, slung me off the table to the ground," the teen said.
The teen has not been identified because he told the station that he has been bullied by other students for getting the teacher in trouble. The student was initially charged for touching the teacher before the school pushed for the charges to be dropped.
"He just went crazy. I don't understand why," the teen's mother, Shekela Bryant, told the station. "To choke, to push him on the ground by his face. It's just too much, too much for a good morning tap."
Coleman now faces a simple battery charge but the teens father isn't satisfied.
"Oh, no way, no way. That was not a battery. That was a brutal attack," the teen's father, Jamil Koonce, told the station. He wants to see Coleman charged with aggravated assault.
The student no longer attends South Atlanta High School, and the school system terminated Coleman.

The music of Sigmund Romberg are lovely romantic ballads and the operetta "The Desert Song" is no exception. It's not perfect, the sets are primitive, the costumes are not that reflective of the period or setting of the musical(they are perhaps forgivable in a way though because this was televised so of course it would not look as good as the 1953 film) and Nelson Eddy does seem tired and acts stiffly at times, Gordon McRae in the film was superior on that front.

But Eddy and Sherwood are the main reasons to see, and while Eddy's acting is not the greatest he shares a marvellous rapport with Sherwood and his voice is still magnificent, vocal-wise he and Gordon McRae are equal. He is joined by Kathryn Grayson, who sings with him on a couple of songs as well as by herself. The story is a bit over the top even for musical comedy, but it is still loads of fun. After stating the obvious, when watching the film, the interest level goes down from there... precipitously. Desert Song isn't one of great, classic musicals but it has great singing and an interesting plot.

Kier Highways boss steps down after inspiring career
Kier boss Dave Wright is stepping down as part of sweeping changes at the top of Kier Highways.
Executive director Mr Wright has been a well respected figure in the sector and provided the leadership and inspiration behind several key developments in recent years including collaboration schemes and a drive to be a more socially conscious industry.
He was the force behind the Collaborative Learning Circle, which has brought together a range of different highways companies and groups to share knowledge and establish new relationships and foundations for working.
He also has helped raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity particularly his beloved OnSide Youth Zones - mentioned in the chancellor's recent Spending Round speech - which provide a safe space for disadvantaged kids to play, learn and make friends.
Having organised a series of fund raising events with the support of Baroness Newlove, Mr Wright also helped support young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds into work, helping them start a career in highways through Kier initiatives.
His departure follows that of his right-hand man and new Highways magazine columnist Martin Duffy.
A Kier spokesperson said: 'Following a very successful career in the highways industry Dave Wright has made the decision to retire from full time employment and will be leaving the business on 30 September. From 1 September Joe Incutti, Kier Highways finance director will become acting group managing director until a permanent successor is appointed. We wish Dave all the best in his retirement and thank him for his significant contribution to the Group.'
David Wright Kier
