Un tribunale amministrativo regionale (TAR) è, nell'ordinamento della Repubblica italiana, un organo di giurisdizione amministrativa.

Il TAR è competente a giudicare sui ricorsi, proposti contro atti amministrativi, da soggetti che si ritengano lesi (in maniera non conforme all'ordinamento giuridico) in un proprio interesse legittimo. Si tratta di giudici amministrativi di primo grado, le cui sentenze sono appellabili dinanzi al Consiglio di Stato. Per il medesimo motivo, è l'unico tipo di magistratura speciale a prevedere solo due gradi di giudizio.

Storia
L'istituzione di organi di giustizia amministrativa di primo grado a circoscrizione regionale è prevista dalla costituzione (art. 125), ma è stata realizzata soltanto con la legge 6 dicembre 1971 n. 1034, dopo il venir meno della giurisdizione delle giunte provinciali amministrative (organi previsti dalla legge 20 marzo 1865, n. 2248 che avevano competenza, in alcune materie, nei confronti di atti di comuni, province e altri enti a dimensione locale), dichiarata incostituzionale per difetto di una composizione idonea ad assicurare quell'indipendenza che la Costituzione considera esigenza imprescindibile per ogni tipo di giudice.

La legge del 1971, peraltro, non si è limitata a colmare il vuoto creatosi nell'ordinamento per effetto di tale dichiarazione di incostituzionalità, costituendo organi giurisdizionali a competenza limitata in relazione agli enti e alle materie, ma ha introdotto il doppio grado nella giurisdizione amministrativa. Su ogni atto di qualunque pubblica amministrazione (ivi compresa quella statale), giudica ora in prima istanza il TAR (Tribunale Amministrativo Regionale), mentre il Consiglio di Stato (che fino alla istituzione dei tribunali regionali giudicava normalmente in unica istanza) è chiamato a pronunciarsi solo in appello.

Organizzazione
I TAR sono venti, con circoscrizione corrispondente al territorio della relativa regione, e hanno sede nel capoluogo regionale. In alcune regioni quali Lombardia, Emilia-Romagna, Lazio, Abruzzo, Campania, Puglia, Calabria, Sicilia esistono sezioni distaccate. Nel Lazio sono anche istituite tre sezioni in Roma, con competenze di particolare rilievo. In Trentino-Alto Adige è istituito il Tribunale regionale di giustizia amministrativa (TRGA), con una "sezione autonoma" – del tutto indipendente – a Bolzano.

A ciascun TAR sono assegnati un presidente e non meno di cinque magistrati amministrativi, denominati, a seconda dell'anzianità di servizio, "referendari", "primi referendari", "consiglieri". Le decisioni sono assunte con l'intervento di tre giudici.

Attualmente le seguenti città italiane sono sede di TAR:

Competenza
La sfera di competenza di ciascun TAR comprende i ricorsi volti contro atti di enti o di organi la cui sfera di azione si svolga esclusivamente nell'ambito regionale (per esempio di comuni, province, e regione; o di prefetti o altri organi periferici dello stato), nonché i ricorsi che attengano ad atti di organi centrali dello Stato e di enti pubblici ultraregionali, purché gli effetti dell'atto siano territorialmente limitati alla circoscrizione del TAR. Per gli atti i cui effetti non siano circoscritti in questo modo, è competente, ove si tratti di atti emanati da enti ultraregionali, il TAR della regione in cui ha sede l'ente stesso.

Il TAR del Lazio è inoltre competente per le controversie relative ad atti provenienti da una amministrazione statale avente competenza ultraregionale (eccezion fatta per gli atti delle Autorità amministrative indipendenti aventi sedi in regioni diverse, per i quali la competenza spetta invece al TAR della regione ove le stesse hanno sede).

Giurisdizione
In generale, la giurisdizione dei TAR concerne la legittimità (cioè la conformità o meno a regole giuridiche) di atti lesivi di interessi legittimi, ma in casi eccezionali attiene anche al merito (vale a dire a valutazioni di opportunità dell'azione amministrativa). In alcune materie (la più importante è costituita dal pubblico impiego, nei limitati casi ancora oggi previsti dalla legge) tale giurisdizione, oltre che agli interessi legittimi (posizioni dei singoli, tutelate dall'ordinamento in quanto coincidenti con un interesse pubblico generale), si estende ai diritti soggettivi (posizioni garantite in modo diretto nei confronti di altri soggetti, ai quali incombe un obbligo volto ad assicurare in via immediata il godimento del diritto stesso), la cui cognizione è normalmente sottratta al giudice amministrativo e riservata al giudice ordinario (tribunale, ecc.).

Con l'art. 68 del decreto legislativo 3 febbraio 1993, n. 29, come modificato dall'art. 18 del D.Lgs. 29 ottobre 1998, n. 387, la materia del pubblico impiego è stata sottratta alla cognizione del giudice amministrativo e devoluta a quella del giudice ordinario, fatta eccezione per le controversie in materia di procedure concorsuali, nonché, in sede di giurisdizione esclusiva, per quelle concernenti talune categorie, cosiddette non contrattualizzate, tra le quali rientrano i magistrati, i militari, le forze di polizia, i prefetti, i diplomatici e i docenti universitari.

Procedimento di ricorso
La proposizione del ricorso non sospende gli effetti del provvedimento (così che l'amministrazione potrà portare a esecuzione, anche coattivamente, le pretese che ne derivino: per esempio, procedere all'occupazione di un bene immobile o a eseguire direttamente, a spese dell'interessato, prestazioni ordinate a quest'ultimo); tuttavia, qualora l'esecuzione sia idonea a causare danni gravi e irrecuperabili (ossia non risarcibili), il TAR, su istanza del ricorrente, può disporre sollecitamente la sospensione.

La legge n. 1034 del 6 dicembre 1971, istitutiva degli organi della magistratura amministrativa, ha infatti introdotto importanti strumenti di giustizia quali le misure cautelari, che nel corso degli anni hanno assunto anche per l'ordinamento giuridico italiano importanza crescente rispetto alla mera impugnazione e giudizio di merito. Fra queste misure efficaci, per i suoi tempi insolitamente celeri, rientra la istanza per ottenere un'ordinanza da parte del giudice naturale (quello amministrativo) per la disapplicazione di un atto verso una singola o una pluralità di persone.

La magistratura non ha il potere di annullare un atto del Parlamento o del Governo. In attesa di concludere il procedimento amministrativo, può sospendere l'esecuzione di una norma non verso tutti, ma solo verso i ricorrenti.

Semplificando, si parla di richiesta di sospensiva presentata insieme a una contestuale "domanda" per la declaratoria di nullità avverso un atto amministrativo di qualsiasi genere.
A essi appartengono a tutti gli effetti anche i decreti di un ministero, laddove per la Costituzione italiana i singoli dicasteri rappresentano "il vertice" della rispettiva pubblica amministrazione.

Termini
Il termine previsto per il ricorso è alquanto breve: il soggetto leso in un proprio interesse legittimo deve notificare il ricorso all'autorità che ha emanato il provvedimento entro sessanta giorni (ma esistono termini più brevi per i riti speciali) dalla data in cui il provvedimento stesso gli è stato comunicato o, comunque, ne ha avuto conoscenza. Il ricorso deve essere notificato, nello stesso termine, ad almeno un controinteressato (cioè a un soggetto che potrebbe subire un pregiudizio dall'accoglimento del ricorso: ad esempio il vincitore di un concorso pubblico di cui si chiede l'annullamento).

Differenze
Esiste, al di fuori del contenzioso giurisdizionale, il diverso diritto a presentare il ricorso amministrativo per ottenere una declaratoria di nullità dell'atto illegittimo: in questo caso ci si rivolge alla stessa verticale gerarchica dell'organo amministrativo che ha emanato l'atto, spesso con lo strumento del ricorso collettivo, beneficiando in questo modo di tempi e costi ridotti drasticamente.

Decisione
Con la propria decisione il TAR, ove ritenga fondato il ricorso, annulla il provvedimento impugnato, e l'autorità amministrativa dovrà uniformarsi ai criteri in essa fissati; le sentenze del TAR sono immediatamente esecutive e acquistano valore di cosa giudicata: il caso concreto deciso non può essere dedotto in altro giudizio, ove, entro sessanta giorni dalla notificazione della decisione, non sia stato proposto appello. Le decisioni e le ordinanze dei TAR possono essere appellate davanti al Consiglio di Stato.

Quelle del TAR Sicilia, invece, davanti al Consiglio di giustizia amministrativa per la Regione Siciliana (un organo, previsto dalla Statuto siciliano, che agisce come una sezione staccata del Consiglio di Stato).

Free to air is a know-how that transmits satellite tv for pc alerts, which people might obtain without necessity of registration. This drawback, nevertheless, is offset by the fact that its lower maintenance price per subscriber translates to lower subscription fees vs. cable TV. Packages are currently offered by satellite TV corporations which are priced lower than their cable TV counterparts. After the 1989 Romanian Revolution to overthrow the Communist Party we were in a position to transfer to the U.S. As we settled into the new culture we realized that every little thing here is available including TV service.
A satellite dish is a selected sort of microwave antenna, which is available in various sizes and designs, and is mostly used to receive satellite tv for pc tv.

Џорџ Бринтон Маклелан (; Филаделфија, 3. децембар 1826 — Оринџ, 29. октобар 1885) је био генерал-мајор током Америчког грађанског рата и кандидат Демократске странке за председника 1864. године.

Биографија

Он није био само војни командант, већ и врсни инжењер и веома способан организатор. На тој позицији је доказао мане Војне академије Сједињених Америчких Држава. Академија је била способна за обучавање инжењера и официра за малу војску, ону од пре Грађанског рата. Пореклом из Филаделфије, на академију је ушао са Пенсилванијског универзитета као други у класи 1846. године. Распоређен је у инжењерску јединицу.

Цивилни рад

Због спорог напредовања у регуларној армији, одлучио је да пређе у коњицу 1855. године, када је дошло до проширивања војних јединица. Послат је да проучава европске армије, и том приликом је написао опширан извештај о опседању Севастопоља током Кримског рата. То искуство је касније утицало на његово доношење одлука на Вирџинијском полуострву. Током преосталог времена које је провео у Европи, много је путовао и мењао је Пруска и Мађарска коњска седла за Маклеланова седла, која су коришћена све док армија није избацила из употребе његову монтирану руку. Поднео је оставку 16. јануара 1857, и почео је да се бави железничким инжењерингом. Радио је за Центар Илионис као главни инжењер и потпредседник, и баш пре Грађанског рата је постао председник дивизије за Охајо и Мисисипи. Упркос његовом успехом у приватној пракси, врло радо се вратио у војску 1862. године.

Повратак у војску

Његови задаци су били: генерал-мајор Добровољаца Охаја (23. априла 1861); командант Охајо милиције (23. април - 13. мај 1861); командовао је окупационом армијом Западне Вирџиније; Одсек Охајо (13. мај - 23. јул 1861); генерал-мајор (14. мај 1861); командант Потомак дивизије (25. јул - 15. август 1861); командант армије и одсека у Потомаку (15. август 1861—9. новембар 1862); и главни командант (5. новембар 1861—11. март 1862).

Учествовање у Америчком грађанском рату

Прво је био постављен од стране гувернера Охаја Вилијама Денисона, а ускоро је био одмах иза Скота, где је постављен од стране Абрахама Линколна. Брзи напредак у војној каријери, од капетана до генерал-мајора, му је ударило у главу, и објавио је једну комичну изјаву дане жели да постане диктатор. До тада је однео неке мање победе у Западној Вирџинији, због чега је 16. јула 1861. добио захвалност од Конгреса, иако је већину захвалности требало приписати његовим подређеним. Позван је да преузме команду код Вашингтона, после пораза код Ист Бул Рана. Ту није показао задовољавајуће опхођење према СКоту и цивилним властима. Нови надимак му је био млади Наполеон. Активно је радио на слању Скота у пензију. Његове организационе и инжењерске способности су биле веома добро искоришћене приликом стварања Армије Потомак. Али он није напредовао у служби и одбио је да преда своје планове цивилним властима. Једном је чак одбио да се састане са председником. У децембру 1861. је оболео од тифуса. Док је он стигао до Манзаса, армија Џозепа Џонсона се већ повукла.

Маклелан је планирао напад на Ричмонд, између река Џејмс и Јорк. То је био добар план, иако се Линколн плашио за сигурност Вашингтона. Али он није успео добро да координише тај напад. Почетно кретање је било добро, али се сетио опседања Севастопоља, и због тога је опколио Јорктаун. То је омогућило Џонсону да доведе појачање. Када се Џонсон повукао, он га је пратио према Вилијамсбургу. Стигао је до самоог главног града Конфедерације. У том тренутку је стао. Разлог за то је стално преувеличавање снаге противника. Та стална успоравања су натерала Линколна да га смени са свих командних позиција 11. марта 1862. Пребачен је у команду Армија Потомак и Ричмонд.

Политичка активност и смрт

Био је кандидат Демократске странке за председника 1864. Штету му је нанела партија позивајући на крај рата, који је био означен као изгубљен. Он је био против обуставе рата и желео је победу. У првом тренутку се чинило да може да победи Линколна, али због победа Северњака, је скренуло пажњу јавности са рата. Победио је само у три државе. Повукао се из војске на дан избора. Био је активан у државној политици. Био је гувернер Њу Џерзија крајем 1870 година и почетком 1880. Умро је 29. октобра 1885 у Оранџу, Њу Џерзи. Сахрањен је на Ривервју гробљу у Трентону.

Andy Murray To Shove Vuvuzela Up Rafa Nadal's Arse
Funny story written by Monkey Woods
The look of a person who's just had a vuvuzela shoved up his arse
Britain's number 1 tennis player, Andy Murray, came through his quarter final match against France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga yesterday to set up an exciting semi final clash with world number 1 Rafa Nadal, and told journalists he has "a cunning plan" with which to stun the Spaniard.
He is going to stuff a vuvuzela up his arse.
Nadal's arse, that is.
The Scot lost the first set to the Frenchman on a tiebreak, but never looked back thereafter, and coasted through the final set whilst talking to his girlfriend on his mobile phone. Cocky bastard.
During an interview later with the BBC's Sue Barker, Murray constantly disrupted events by blowing into his vuvuzela, creating a 'right din', and it's this he intends to replicate when he meets Nadal on Friday.
But Murray also said he would be trying to gain access to Nadal's dressing room before the contest before the match, in order to insert the annoying trumpet into Nadal's ringpiece in an attempt to severely disrupt the Spaniard's superior style of play.
John Champion, that BBC gibbon, later chimed:
"It's just about the only way Murray would stand a chance of beating Rafa!"

        Mockito.doCallRealMethod().when(messageService).getMessagesList(Mockito.any());
        sampleJob.executeJob();
    }
}

When i debug the code then it breaks at the line CompletableFuture.runAsync of LockingExecutorProcessor and throws null pointer error; the reason is distributedLockProcessor object is null;
How can we mock it and how to connect to test zookeeper server instead of original to ensure locking is working fine

A: This is done. Now the testcases are working fine. I have used curator-test dependency and also used reflection to mock the private objects.

What you need to know about Apple's SSL bug
By Dan Moren, Dan Miller and Serenity Caldwell
Update: Apple has released 10.9.2, which patches the SSL vulnerability discussed in this article.
News of a serious vulnerability within Apple's implementation of a key encryption technology has been making the rounds this weekend. Read on to find out more about what the flaw is, and how it affects you.
Okay, so how did we find out about this?
On Friday, Apple issued what seemed at first to be a run-of-the-mill security update. According to the update's initial documentation, the patch was supposed to "provide a fix for SSL connection verification." But when Apple posted the patch's security information to its website, the company revealed that the fix was for something quite serious: Without the patch, "an attacker with a privileged network position may capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS." That was hardly run-of-the-mill.
What is SSL/TLS? What does it do?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and Transport Layer Security are a pair of networking technologies that establish an encrypted link between your computer and servers. Though most often seen in your web browser (that's what that little padlock icon signifies), SSL/TLS is also used in other places, such as connections with mail clients, calendar servers, and chat servers—basically, any time you want to securely exchange information over the Internet. Together, the technologies not only encrypt communications between clients and servers, but also ensure that the server you're accessing is who it purports to be (preventing things like phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks).
What exactly happened?
An error in the code—nobody is sure exactly how it got there—caused the entire system to fail in what is called the "signature verification" part of the process. Or, in other words, though the system can correctly prove that a security certificate is in fact cryptographically correct, it can't authenticate who signed said certificate. Imagine receiving a message from a friend—or an institution—that looks correct in every way, but is ultimately forged, and you'll have a basic idea of the problem here.
For a more technical explanation, check out these write ups by Adam Langley, a Google software engineer who works on HTTPS and Chrome, and security researcher Ashkan Soltani.
What systems are affected?
Apple's issued patches for iOS 7, iOS 6, and the Apple TV, but as yet no update has been released for OS X. Some reports suggest that the issue does not exist in versions of OS X prior to OS X 10.9 Mavericks or iOS prior to iOS 6.
So does this just affect Safari?
These days, SSL/TLS is the encryption solution of choice for network connections, and since the error is in Apple's implementation of the system, pretty much any software on the Mac or iOS relies on this central library. That includes Apple apps like Mail, Messages, Calendar, FaceTime, connections to the Mac App Store and App Store, and even third-party apps that use Apple's SSL implementation (which is probably most of them). In short: Any secure connection on an unpatched system is vulnerable to someone performing the right kind of attack.
Here are some of the apps which rely on the vulnerable Apple #gotofail SSL library beyond Safari /cc @a_greenberg pic.twitter.com/ombDOOa01A
— ashkan soltani (@ashk4n) February 23, 2014
Does it affect other browsers, like Chrome?
Chrome and Firefox rely on different implementations of SSL/TLS, meaning that they aren't subject to the same vulnerability, as it's in Apple's code. That means that in the meantime you should be able to safely browse with them instead.
But my Wi-Fi network is encrypted—am I still at risk?
Wi-Fi security, which often uses the WPA (Wireless Protected Access) standard, is an entirely different ballgame. It simply assures that communications between devices on your wireless network with your router are encrypted. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi network security is often considered a deterrent at best. Cracks exist for most existing implementations; anybody who really wants to intercept your communications is probably capable of doing so. But SSL/TLS is intended to protect communications from end-to-end, meaning that even if an attacker compromises your network security, all they'll decrypt will be encrypted communications.
However, though your personal Wi-Fi network is likely too small to be a target, and larger institutions like your ISP are unlikely to be out to get you, it might be safest to avoid public hotspots like those at an Internet café—where all your traffic is routed through a single point of access that's not under your control—until this bug is fixed.
So … should I not be online banking on my Mac until this is fixed?
Until the vulnerability is fixed, it would be best to do any secure tasks you need on an alternative browser like Chrome or Firefox, or on a patched iOS device. Though it's unlikely that most people will be targeted, there is certainly a risk. And if you're concerned, using a workaround is probably the best approach.
In addition, you may be able to potentially save your traffic from prying eyes with a VPN (Virtual Private Network). Although the VPN hooks into the security framework where the SSL/TLS bug exists, the VPN protocols supported by OS X don't directly use SSL. You'll need to check with your network administrator to make sure all your traffic runs through the VPN, however, and it's not just site-specific (as some work-related VPNs can be).
There is a small possibility that VPN traffic interacts with SSL/TLS, so we can't 100 percent guarantee that it's the safest method, but it's safer than just using Safari as-is. (Thanks to security writer Nick Arnott and Macworld contributor Marco Tabini for their investigation into VPN protocols.)
Does that mean hackers have been snooping through my banking info? Should I change my passwords?
Well, it depends, as is so often the case. There seems to be no widespread news of anybody exploiting this vulnerability, but it's impossible to categorically state that it hasn't been. And while sites don't generally store password as clear text, rather relying on a version that is hashed (a form of encryption), if you are at all concerned, it's never a bad idea to change your password.
Could this vulnerability let the NSA snoop on my private communications?
Astute and topical question. Daring Fireball's John Gruber has suggested that this bug, which has apparently gone unpatched since iOS 6's release in 2012, could be what the NSA was referring to when it claimed it could conduct surveillance on Apple products under the PRISM program. As to whether or not the NSA specifically planted or exploited the bug, which is in a piece of open-source software, that depends on your own level of interest in conspiracy theories—but it's certainly not out of the question.
When is a patch expected?
Given the severity of the problem, we'd expect imminently. Apple spokesperson Trudy Muller told Macworld that a fix was "coming soon." An unofficial patch has been released, but we'd recommend waiting for the fix directly from Apple. And just in case you want to know the moment it's out, there's already a site for that.
Updated at 5:08 p.m. ET with information about OS X's VPN.
Updated at 4:29 p.m. ET with comment from Apple.
Updated at 4:02 p.m. ET to correct timeframe for the bug on iOS.

Arianna Huffington Suiting Up with Paul Rabil
Her name titles one of the largest media companies in the world. She's authored 15 books, ran as an Independent candidate for Governor of California, and today is the CEO of Thrive Global. One might think with the output of a major-market city that Arianna Huffington must work around the clock...
Her advice counters that theory. She tells us, "there is no tradeoff between high performance at work and taking care of ourselves."
The viral Ted Talker and Oprah's Super Soul Sunday extraordinaire has built her companies, raised her children and extended relationships far beyond her sphere of influence because she has prioritized herself -- from improved sleep and morning routines, to abstinence from mobile devices, to dozens of daily small habits, Arianna shares how to become more present and effective.
Her new book, Your Time to Thrive is a wonderful guide to redefining our lives. On the show, we breakdown these microstep concepts:
- Tapping into gratitude
- Putting your own oxygen mask on first
- Sleep and self-reflection strategies
- Addressing burnout
- Small habits that lead to big change

 243233233              12/12/1983

When i output the data to an text  file the data is not getting well formatted,
 i neeed get the  result in a well  formatted  way like the below how can i set the result to get in this way
my out put should look like this
 CustomerID                     DOB
 000000001                      11/12/1983
 000000002                      12/12/1983
 000000003                      12/12/1985
 000034334                      23/12/1986

 243233233                      12/12/1983

my query looks like this
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell'bcp "SELECT  * from MainDB.dbo.Customer" queryout "F:\output\Temp.txt" -c -T -x -t"|"'

A: You can use REPLICATE.This will add the zeros at the start of the CustomerID. Like this:
DECLARE @tbl TABLE(CustomerID INT)

INSERT INTO @tbl
VALUES
    (1),(2),(34334)

SELECT
   REPLICATE('0',9-LEN(CustomerID))+CAST(CustomerID AS VARCHAR(100))
FROM
   @tbl AS tbl

Reference here
EDIT
So your query will look something like this:
SELECT
    (
       REPLICATE('0',9-LEN(CustomerID))+
       CAST(CustomerID AS VARCHAR(100))
    ) AS CustomerID,
    DOB
FROM
    MainDB.dbo.Customer

A: Convert the CustomerID column to a varchar (during the output process), and it should remove the leading zeros.

Exciting Innovations In Solar that Will Make Your Panels Crack
It's clear that solar power is leading the way to change the world's energy usage. Here are three exciting developments in solar power to prove there's no stopping this juggernaut.
In 2014, Swiss company Airlight Energy announced a new parabolic dish – resembling a sunflower – that can covert 80% of the sun's radiation into useful energy and also generate fresh water and air-conditioning.
In Germany, an architect created a spherical solar energy-generating globe that can generate power from both sunlight and moonlight, making its solar harvesting capabilities 35% more efficient than the conventional PV designs.
It's in the glass.
Imagine if the glass screens on your smart phone or the windows on your home had the capacity to turn the sun's energy into power!
Michigan State University has created the first fully transparent solar concentrator that can be used like any window or sheet of glass but with the ability to generate power. Instead of generating power with a transparent photovoltaic cell (which is impossible), this is made possible by using a transparent luminescent solar concentrator. Put simply, this is part of a solar harvesting system that uses small organic molecules to absorb specific nonvisible wavelengths of sunlight.
Source: Extreme.com
The researchers are confident that the technology can be scaled for large industrial and commercial uses (think the windows on skyscrapers) and consumer devices (tablet and smartphone screens) to become increasingly affordable. This means that instead of solar panels on the roof, windows and glass panels are replaced with fully transparent solar concentrators to deliver every home and building with energy.
It's in the fuel.
Looking for ways to harness the sun's energy to get it to power your vehicle? Leave it to the scientists at Harvard University to figure this one out. To create this, sunlight is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen and carbon dioxide are then converted to liquid fuel isopropanol by adding bacterium and hey presto! Liquid solar fuel.
The hope with this innovation is that solar energy will find more adopters, particularly in the developing world, where the ability to make energy locally will really take off.
Daniel Nocera, the Patterson Rockwood Professor of Energy at Harvard University, who wrote the initial paper on this development, says they're almost at 1% efficiency rate of converting sunlight into isopropanol.
So it's fair to say it's a little way off before it's a viable technology, but this innovation could mean that access to cheaper biofuel could very well be on the way.
It's in the air.
The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has managed to transmit solar energy wirelessly, by converting it into high-output microwaves. This means one day, microwave-transmitting solar satellites, unaffected by weather, could transmit around-the-clock electricity to receivers on earth.
Satellite-based solar panels can generate power 24/7, no matter what the weather. While the researchers are aiming for practical use in the 2030s, the project has proved that this technology is feasible. This could mean that solar satellites could eventually be set up 35,000 kilometres from Earth.
Solar harvesting is developing in interesting and original ways that will really make a difference to how we use energy now and into the future.

The site has a peculiar obsession with the notion that XRP could take bitcoin's throne, leading the more conspiratorially minded to muse whether Forbes could have been a benefactor of Ripple's bottomless warchest.
Forbes and its singular obsession with ripple.
To understand why Ripple/EOS/Some Other Altcoin will not be the new bitcoin, it is necessary to understand what the mainstream media means by such statements, aside from the obvious clickbait. When the MSM or James Altucher (remember him?) promises that X will be the next bitcoin, they aren't referring to their anointed altcoin's censorship-resistance, decentralization, or versatility as a store of value and medium of exchange. What they're referring to is its ability to moon in record time, making its holders stupidly rich.
Regular readers of this site will already be aware of this, and are unlikely to fall for the "next bitcoin" meme. But ordinary members of the public, who are more gullible and less knowledgeable, are easy prey for journalists shilling shitcoins out of ignorance, greed, or a desire to fuel FOMO. Cryptocurrency investing is risky enough without irresponsible publications convincing the vulnerable to throw their life savings at electroneum.
Searching for the next bitcoin is like searching for the next wheel. There won't be and can't be one because bitcoin was that wheel. There might be cryptocurrencies that are faster, flashier, and more feature-rich than bitcoin. One day there might even be some that are more expensive or more widely used than bitcoin. But they are unlikely to replace bitcoin, and are even unlikelier to yield the same exponential gains as BTC/BCH. Besides, even if there was a new altcoin with 1000x potential, by the time Forbes or the Express start shilling it, you've already missed the boat.
Stop looking for the next bitcoin. There's no such thing.
Do you think mainstream media are guilty of promoting certain cryptocurrencies as "the next bitcoin"? Let us know in the comments section below.

Continuing on the success of its pioneer Accountancy graduates in February 2017, graduands from the university's second crop of Accountancy cohort continued to achieve stellar performance in the industry, with 86% of them receiving Priority Offers (POs) from 'Big Four' as well as mid-tier accounting firms.
Eighty-three out of 96 Accountancy students received these offers upon completion of their Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP), where they spent eight months of work-study with their respective firms, and have now moved on to be full-time employees. Six students in particular, who received POs from EY Singapore, were also given the option to accelerate their career by starting in a position above entry level.
The IWSP is mandatory for all SIT and joint degree programmes and key to the university's applied learning pedagogy, as students undertake real work for six to 12 months, allowing them to integrate theory and practice and develop deep specialist skills in their chosen field. The IWSP is structured in a unique and distinct way for each degree programme, catering to the specific needs of the industry to develop industry-ready graduates.
"To stay relevant in this period of economic transformation, tertiary education in Singapore needs to keep up with changing industry needs. The real work undertaken through our IWSP has enabled our students to understand the challenges faced in the current fast changing economy, and develop skills of adaptability, creativity and innovation, while adding value to the workplace. It has also shown the potential to lead to full-time employment after graduation, as our first two graduating cohorts have done very well in securing full-time employment offers," said Professor Tan Thiam Soon, President, SIT.
"At EY, we have been keen to develop an internship program that offers students a substantive on-the-job training over a longer period of time, so they have the opportunity to observe and work through an entire audit cycle. This allows the students to gain relevant work experience, and deeper insights into the accounting profession as they determine their career choice after graduation. The program allows EY to introduce and promote the profession more convincingly, and we have the opportunity to reach out to and hire promising interns. It is a win-win arrangement for SIT, the students and us," said Christopher Wong, Singapore Head of Assurance, Ernst & Young LLP.
Today also marked the graduation of the first cohort of graduands from SIT's Bachelor of Hospitality Business with Honours degree programme. The university is currently the only local autonomous university to offer a Hospitality-related degree, and these 19 individuals from the programme's pioneer cohort will move on to become leaders in the hotel, tourism and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events) industries. Twelve of them have already received informal full-time employment offers from their IWSP companies.
The programme's strong industry focus and IWSP component was what motivated students like Edwin See, 24, to enroll in this degree programme, especially its specialisation in the MICE industry, which he wanted to pursue a career in. "I felt that the eight-month long IWSP would be integral to my learning journey. It provided me the much needed opportunity for first-hand experience in the industry, to put what I have learnt in the classroom into practice," said Edwin. The work-study stint gave him the exposure to work in major exhibitions and conventions such as ITB Asia 2016, where he served as a project assistant in sales and operations. Edwin received an offer from his IWSP employer, Messe Berlin, one of the world's ten leading trade fair companies and started full full-time employment with the company in early September.

My views & news on the world around me.
THE STRAYS-PARIAH DOGS THAT NOBODY WANTS.
Just outside my apartment, on the street below live four pups and their mother.I have been watching the dogs from my balcony for a few weeks now.At first the pups were holed up in a dry gutter along the side of the road,now they're are little older and running all over the place.They were six initially,now it's down to four.A happy,friendly bunch!Children from the near by slums would come and roughly handle them,kick them about and pelt stones on them.Even street hawkers would be rude to them.Why? they do not know how to be kind.Their parents are too busy erking out a living and have no time to see what they are up to or if they do…..they look the other way.They all seem to think animals are hardy enough to endure such treatment.I've seen toddlers about two or three years old pelting stones at these pups as they were under their mother suckling.
It broke my heart to see such tiny,helpless pups being treated like this-so off I went and got hubby involved as well to tell these people not to treat them so.We took milk from home daily and stood there till they'd finish slurpping.Today,these pups live in front of our apartment gate on the roadside-they've made another dry gutter their home and We continue to feed them.
Now,you must be thinking why can't I adopt them? For two reasons -one we travel quite a bit and two, we live in an expensive apartment complex and my neighbours may not like me bringing in these "Pariah dogs" as the local dogs are called. I really want to!!! My parents,who live out of town, take in many strays ,but they live in a house with a garden.People here,in our flat ,have expensive dogs and claim to be animal lovers-yet only a few came out to give food to the pups,that too after we started giving them their daily feed.Animal lovers they surely are!…..their love being limited to expensive pure-breeds.
ing out of dustbins and braving sticks and stones daily.There are some organizations that neuter the dogs and put them back on the street.There are animal shelters too and a few good souls who adopt these Pariah dogs.The vast majority live on the roadsides.Pariah dogs are of the lowest breed and hence not welcome in many homes.BUT….from what I read up on them,they are about the oldest breed of dogs and were brought in by the many invaders who came in hundreds of years ago.Brought in from foreign shores,some pure-breeds and some dogs from those lands just followed these people,even Alexander the great came here with his dogs-so when they left,many dogs were left back.Back in the day it was only the elite that kept dogs,so there were few takers for these animals here!
Whats to be done for these strays???…nobody seems to have a proper solution and they continue to languish on the streets of India.
Personally,I think people here shouldn't be spending such insane amounts of money to purchase cute,pure-bred dogs-instead they should adopt at least one of these strays,they are such loyal,friendly and watchful dogs…..and they look good too.No animal lover in the true sense of the word can turn their backs on them.I think some buy expensive dogs to keep up with the Jones,for others it's a status symbol.On a recent TV show here,there was this story of a dog whose master feeds him with dry fruits,houses him in an AC room,gives him nothing but the best and the total bill ,they say is about the cost of a Mercedes.Ha! at a loss for words!The least people can do is give a little corner in their garden for these strays…….my parents still do.

There are six primary sources of power in agriculture: human labor, domestic animals, wind, flowing water, electricity, and heat engines. The primary sources of power for modern agriculture are the internal combustion engine and electric motor. Some day, the primary source of power may change to fuel cells, solar energy, or atomic energy, but in the immediate future the primary sources of power for agriculture will continue to be internal combustion heat engines and electric motors.
Internal combustion engines used for agricultural applications range from those used for one-horsepower garden tools to the hundreds of horsepower required for very large tractors. Because engines are very common, knowledge of how and why they work is essential to a successful agricultural manager. In this chapter, the basic engine types and functions are discussed, as are some basic calculations concerning engine size (displacement) and compression ratio.
