HOUSE BILL NO. 4029 Offered July 9, 2019 Prefiled July 9, 2019 A BILL to amend and reenact §18.2-308.2:2 of the Code of Virginia, relating to firearm transfers; criminal history record information check; illegal alien; notification to local police department or sheriff's office. ---------- Patron-- Miyares ---------- Committee Referral Pending ----------
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §18.2-308.2:2 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§18.2-308.2:2. Criminal history record information check required for the transfer of certain firearms.
A. Any person purchasing from a dealer a firearm as herein defined shall consent in writing, on a form to be provided by the Department of State Police, to have the dealer obtain criminal history record information. Such form shall include only the written consent; the name, birth date, gender, race, citizenship, and social security number and/or or any other identification number, including any U.S.-issued alien or admission number; citizenship, including country of citizenship, whether the person has ever renounced his United States citizenship, whether the person is an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States, and whether the person is an alien who has been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa; the number of firearms by category intended to be sold, rented, traded, or transferred; and answers by the applicant to the following questions: (i) has the applicant been convicted of a felony offense or found guilty or adjudicated delinquent as a juvenile 14 years of age or older at the time of the offense of a delinquent act that would be a felony if committed by an adult; (ii) is the applicant subject to a court order restraining the applicant from harassing, stalking, or threatening the applicant's child or intimate partner, or a child of such partner, or is the applicant subject to a protective order; and (iii) has the applicant ever been acquitted by reason of insanity and prohibited from purchasing, possessing or transporting a firearm pursuant to §18.2-308.1:1 or any substantially similar law of any other jurisdiction, been adjudicated legally incompetent, mentally incapacitated or adjudicated an incapacitated person and prohibited from purchasing a firearm pursuant to §18.2-308.1:2 or any substantially similar law of any other jurisdiction, or been involuntarily admitted to an inpatient facility or involuntarily ordered to outpatient mental health treatment and prohibited from purchasing a firearm pursuant to § 18.2-308.1:3 or any substantially similar law of any other jurisdiction.
B. 1. No dealer shall sell, rent, trade or transfer from his inventory any such firearm to any other person who is a resident of Virginia until he has (i) obtained written consent and the other information on the consent form specified in subsection A, and provided the Department of State Police with the name, birth date, gender, race, citizenship, and social security and/or number or any other identification number, including any U.S.-issued alien or admission number; citizenship, including country of citizenship, whether the person has ever renounced his United States citizenship, whether the person is an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States, and whether the person is an alien who has been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa; and the number of firearms by category intended to be sold, rented, traded or transferred and (ii) requested criminal history record information by a telephone call to or other communication authorized by the State Police and is authorized by subdivision 2 to complete the sale or other such transfer. To establish personal identification and residence in Virginia for purposes of this section, a dealer must require any prospective purchaser to present one photo-identification form issued by a governmental agency of the Commonwealth or by the United States Department of Defense that demonstrates that the prospective purchaser resides in Virginia. For the purposes of this section and establishment of residency for firearm purchase, residency of a member of the armed forces shall include both the state in which the member's permanent duty post is located and any nearby state in which the member resides and from which he commutes to the permanent duty post. A member of the armed forces whose photo identification issued by the Department of Defense does not have a Virginia address may establish his Virginia residency with such photo identification and either permanent orders assigning the purchaser to a duty post, including the Pentagon, in Virginia or the purchaser's Leave and Earnings Statement. When the photo identification presented to a dealer by the prospective purchaser is a driver's license or other photo identification issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles, and such identification form contains a date of issue, the dealer shall not, except for a renewed driver's license or other photo identification issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles, sell or otherwise transfer a firearm to the prospective purchaser until 30 days after the date of issue of an original or duplicate driver's license unless the prospective purchaser also presents a copy of his Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles driver's record showing that the original date of issue of the driver's license was more than 30 days prior to the attempted purchase.
In addition, no dealer shall sell, rent, trade, or transfer from his inventory any assault firearm to any person who is not a citizen of the United States or who is not a person lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
Upon receipt of the request for a criminal history record information check, the State Police shall (a) review its criminal history record information to determine if the buyer or transferee is prohibited from possessing or transporting a firearm by state or federal law, (b) inform the dealer if its record indicates that the buyer or transferee is so prohibited, and (c) provide the dealer with a unique reference number for that inquiry. If a person purchasing a firearm from a dealer indicated on the form provided by the Department of State Police that he is an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States, the State Police shall notify the local police department or sheriff's office where such person resides of the person's immigration status.
2. The State Police shall provide its response to the requesting dealer during the dealer's request, or by return call without delay. If the criminal history record information check indicates the prospective purchaser or transferee has a disqualifying criminal record or has been acquitted by reason of insanity and committed to the custody of the Commissioner of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, the State Police shall have until the end of the dealer's next business day to advise the dealer if its records indicate the buyer or transferee is prohibited from possessing or transporting a firearm by state or federal law. If not so advised by the end of the dealer's next business day, a dealer who has fulfilled the requirements of subdivision 1 may immediately complete the sale or transfer and shall not be deemed in violation of this section with respect to such sale or transfer. In case of electronic failure or other circumstances beyond the control of the State Police, the dealer shall be advised immediately of the reason for such delay and be given an estimate of the length of such delay. After such notification, the State Police shall, as soon as possible but in no event later than the end of the dealer's next business day, inform the requesting dealer if its records indicate the buyer or transferee is prohibited from possessing or transporting a firearm by state or federal law. A dealer who fulfills the requirements of subdivision 1 and is told by the State Police that a response will not be available by the end of the dealer's next business day may immediately complete the sale or transfer and shall not be deemed in violation of this section with respect to such sale or transfer.
3. Except as required by subsection D of §9.1-132, the State Police shall not maintain records longer than 30 days, except for multiple handgun transactions for which records shall be maintained for 12 months, from any dealer's request for a criminal history record information check pertaining to a buyer or transferee who is not found to be prohibited from possessing and transporting a firearm under state or federal law. However, the log on requests made may be maintained for a period of 12 months, and such log shall consist of the name of the purchaser, the dealer identification number, the unique approval number and the transaction date.
4. On the last day of the week following the sale or transfer of any firearm, the dealer shall mail or deliver the written consent form required by subsection A to the Department of State Police. The State Police shall immediately initiate a search of all available criminal history record information to determine if the purchaser is prohibited from possessing or transporting a firearm under state or federal law. If the search discloses information indicating that the buyer or transferee is so prohibited from possessing or transporting a firearm, the State Police shall inform the chief law-enforcement officer in the jurisdiction where the sale or transfer occurred and the dealer without delay.
5. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, rifles and shotguns may be purchased by persons who are citizens of the United States or persons lawfully admitted for permanent residence but residents of other states under the terms of subsections A and B upon furnishing the dealer with one photo-identification form issued by a governmental agency of the person's state of residence and one other form of identification determined to be acceptable by the Department of Criminal Justice Services.
6. For the purposes of this subsection, the phrase "dealer's next business day" shall not include December 25.
C. No dealer shall sell, rent, trade or transfer from his inventory any firearm, except when the transaction involves a rifle or a shotgun and can be accomplished pursuant to the provisions of subdivision B 5 to any person who is not a resident of Virginia unless he has first obtained from the Department of State Police a report indicating that a search of all available criminal history record information has not disclosed that the person is prohibited from possessing or transporting a firearm under state or federal law. The dealer shall obtain the required report by mailing or delivering the written consent form required under subsection A to the State Police within 24 hours of its execution. If the dealer has complied with the provisions of this subsection and has not received the required report from the State Police within 10 days from the date the written consent form was mailed to the Department of State Police, he shall not be deemed in violation of this section for thereafter completing the sale or transfer.
D. Nothing herein shall prevent a resident of the Commonwealth, at his option, from buying, renting or receiving a firearm from a dealer in Virginia by obtaining a criminal history record information check through the dealer as provided in subsection C.
E. If any buyer or transferee is denied the right to purchase a firearm under this section, he may exercise his right of access to and review and correction of criminal history record information under §9.1-132 or institute a civil action as provided in §9.1-135, provided any such action is initiated within 30 days of such denial.
F. Any dealer who willfully and intentionally requests, obtains, or seeks to obtain criminal history record information under false pretenses, or who willfully and intentionally disseminates or seeks to disseminate criminal history record information except as authorized in this section shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor.

Chef David McMillan's tricked-up Southern fare, a view of the skyline, and a cold mint julep have saved the struggling Screen Door.
A recent ownership battle left the kitchen at Screen Door in disarray. The stylish Southern comfort food restaurant was struggling for respect. In swooped esteemed Dallas chef David McMillan, a veteran of fine dining restaurants such as Nana and 62 Main in Colleyville. Choose a high-back upholstered chair in the charming dining room or a comfortable wooden chair on the patio, which overlooks the fabulous fountain at One Arts Plaza. Dip a firm fried green tomato in a spicy Creole cream sauce, sip a mint julep served in a cold pewter cup, and watch the sun set over the Dallas skyline. The menu is full of tricked-up Southern specialties and some of McMillan's latest concoctions, such as seared foie gras in a Southern Comfort reduction and served with grits or the barbecued beef marrow bones. I don't know how he does it, but the fried items we tried—Mama's chicken and chile fried catfish—were virtually greaseless. The lunch menu offers a sinful buttermilk fried quail served on waffles with a rich cream gravy. Have tickets to an event at the Winspear or the Wyly Theatre? Screen Door has a pre-theater three-course dinner for $35 from 5 to 7 pm.

Procter & Gamble Could See Profit Taking Before Earnings
Take advantage of pre-earnings profit taking
By Ken Trester	Oct 15, 2019, 9:44 am EST	 October 15, 2019
This morning, I'm recommending a bearish ratio put debit spread on The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG).
Yesterday, the market managed to eke its way into positive territory. It did so despite the turbulent trade news that dogged investors at the open. This morning looks like it will continue that positive trend as the big banks kick off earnings.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) posted strong earnings this morning, while Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE:C) and Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) posted mixed results. The results from C were particularly important because they showed the strength of consumer banking.
But before we get too bullish, I want to recommend caution. There are a few things that could push the market down today — like any negative headlines from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's talk today — and a bearish trade on PG could help traders protect their portfolios.
Consumer Earnings Coming Out Today
The strength of consumer banking may not translate to strong earnings from consumer stocks. Today, we got an earnings report from Dominoes Pizza, Inc. (NYSE:DPZ), which beat expectations but lowered DPZ's guidance for the future, and after the close we'll hear from Levi Strauss & Co. (NYSE:LEVI).
The bank and DPZ reports make me think the consumer might be in a more complicated position than we thought, but if LEVI has strong earnings, it may mean we're in for another boom in retail and less-defensive consumer stocks.
PG produces household products that people generally need, which is why it's thought of as a defensive consumer stock. All the volatility in the market has pushed investors into PG, which performs consistently well and offers a strong dividend. The rising share price has pushed it's dividend yield lower, making it less appealing. It's a catch-22 situation.
As its own earnings report approaches, I think we could see some profit taking in the stock. Investors may see this as a good time to get into other consumer stocks with more potential for growth or more generous dividend yields.
Slowing Down in the run up to Earnings
PG has rallied over 70% in the last 18 months, and the stock is still in that long-term uptrend. I don't expect a drastic pullback, however, in the run up to earnings, I wouldn't be surprised to see some investors take their profits off the table.
Daily Chart of The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) — Chart Source: TradingView
The company got rejected at just above the $125 level, and it turned lower. Despite the market's turn to the upside yesterday, PG moved to retest support at the $120 level. A drop below $120 could act as a signal to investors to exit ahead of earnings.
Often times, traders want to avoid holding a stock through its earnings report anyway, and there are no guarantees PG will continue to beat expectations. Earnings are likely to be mixed, as evidenced by the banking reports today. If PG does move lower, I'd like to be ready with a cheap downside trade.
Using a spread order, buy to open 1 PG Nov. 15th $115 put and sell to open 2 PG Nov. 15th $110 puts for a net debit of about $0.15.
Note: Be sure you are opening the monthly PG options that expire on Friday, Nov. 15, 2019.
About Ratio Put Debit Spreads
A ratio debit spread is simply a way to lower the cost of buying options, as the two option(s) that you sell to open (short) helps offset the cost of the option that you buy to open. Therefore, this ratio put debit spread is a way to lower the cost of establishing a bearish put option trade. Many brokers will require the use of margin and/or a set amount of reserved capital and/or a margin account to execute a debit spread; contact your broker directly for specific requirements.
Because you are short a naked put in this ratio put debit spread, the risk is that you could be obligated to buy 100 shares of PG at the $110 strike price for every 1 contract that you are short of the PG Nov. 15th $110 puts. So, this is inherently a higher risk play.

It's Obvious
0 0 Sunday, May 29, 2016 Edit this post
By Carl S ~
Every Sunday morning, WizenedSage and I get together in the cafe to talk. (We don't think about the fact that the Enlightenment started from such meetings, but it's the same tradition.) Since we're both hearing impaired, we must be louder at times than the conversations around us. Sometimes, someone who's overheard us comes over to comment, to agree, and, of course, to add personal input. Recently, a man who owns property next to me sat down to say he's been reading Christopher Hitchen's book, "God Is Not Great," and others. He's concluded that now he understands what we're talking about. On the non-existence of God, he said that it's "obvious."
There are innumerable believers who will counter, "It's obvious there is a God." Unlike Hitchens arguments, their "proof" is repeating what they've been told, not what they've considered from all sides of the yes/no arguments. They'll say, "I know in my heart there is a God" and that means everything, so shut up, case closed. But you can say, "I know in my heart there isn't." Positive one plus negative one equals zero. As for feelings? Feelings work in many ways, and feeling one way or another can be just as "valid." Is that the "proof" they're offering? Nobody's going to find out what's true or not, going wholly by feelings, or by the believer's habitual considering only one side of the argument while dismissing the other. These things are so obvious, to unbelievers. The typical believer, though, gets visibly upset by our simply denying the existence of a god. Many are content to treat us as ignorant or immoral, while "defending" a god, from a position of "sincere ambiguity."
The May 14 edition of Science News has an article: "'Dirty' mice better than lab-raised mice for studying human disease." It's too long to quote entirely here. The gist of it has to do with lab mice versus mice exposed to human pathogens, and mice in the wild. Lab mice are raised and exist in sterile conditions, ergo, whenever medical trials are applied in the lab on them, the results may not reflect real-life results because mice in the wild, exposed to human pathogens, build up resistances common to mice and men, so the results will include those resistances. This insight changes the playing field. Immunologist E. John Wherry of the University of Pennsylvania says that the finding "is one of those things that once you know it, it's incredibly obvious." So an atheist, I think, is just a person who admits, after the evidence is investigated without fear and trembling, eye-to-eye, sincerely and objectively: there just isn't any God. (Although there are men "behind the curtain pulling levers," as our guest pointed out.)
I remember: A genius is a person who tells you what you already know. Sometimes I have to think about that. How often have we heard someone say, "Of course, it's obvious.", or "Why didn't I think of that?" One of my co-workers would sometimes remark, whenever I explained my solution to a problem, "No shit, Sherlock." You'd think he wouldn't counter that way unless he thought of it first, but what if he didn't? I never thought to confront him about it.
Your atheism, if it's arrived at from thought and evidence, and not resulting from something you're born with and don't think about, has integrity. What do we mean by "integrity?" One engineer, describing a bridge collapse, tells us it came undone due to a failure of "structural integrity." The dictionary defines "integrity" as: "1. Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. 2. Soundness. 3. Completeness, unity." We may speak of integrity as soundness of mind, unity of mind and body. We shall say, working together as an organism for the common survival of all components.
When it comes to a "strict adherence to a strict moral or ethical code," notice that no religion is involved. In fact, religious beliefs can be cracks in the integrity of the whole, compromising the entire structure. To eliminate them entirely is necessary to individual moral survival. There's no integrity to the patches and excuses and doublethink that theologians and clergy constantly employ to keep their faiths seemingly intact.
All of these things should be obvious, shouldn't they? Or does it take faith to believe that, obviously, the world is flat?

The 80's made pop stars sparkle more than the Premier League footballers do. millions tuned into the chart show on a Sunday evening on BBC Radio 1, it wasn't just music though that made the decade so memorable.
If you were a kid growing up in the 80s you were one lucky individual, with Grange Hill, Jossies Giants, Playschool, Worzel Gummidge, and so many cartoon type programming that has never been beaten.
Adults were also catered for, Tales from the Crypt, Hammer House of Horror, Magnum PI, Chips, LoveBoat, Spitting Image, Six Million Dollar Man, Wonder Woman, and more!
It was music though that gave the decade the memorable star status, people like Paul Young, Howard Jones, Madonna, and big named bands like Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Wham!, Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode, Level 42, Human League and many others fighting to get to number one on a Sunday evening.
If you were an editor of a music magazine some with gigantic posters of your favourite star you be doing well, Smash Hits and Number being the most popular.
People bought records not only because the music was great, or they were a fan of the band or individual singer but because they wanted a say in how their favourite record would do as every record bought counted to the figures that week.
Radio broadcasts were big during that decade, Timmy Mallett on Key 103 gave lots of entertainment before bed, he had a battle of the band's competition, fans of a band or a singer would most often treat them like we do football teams, Human League v Depeche Mode who would win?
Football, of course, was always well supported, however, it did not have that star appeal, nothing shined other than the Busby Babes, and we will all remember how stuffy Liverpool was back then! often they would get a goal from several rebounds including off the ref!
Film stars have always had that bit of sparkle and so was the same in the '80s with Eddie Murphy rising to fame in Beverly Hills Cop, Kelly le Brock in Weird Science, Gremlins was a classic film for all the family.
In the '80s sportswear brands were rising in popularity, who remembers All Sports? they were the biggest name on the high street, Trafford had one store in Stretford Arndale (now called Stretford Mall) we think though the store most people will remember is the one on Barlow Moor Road in nearby Chorlton.
They were not cheap back then even though money was tighter than even these days! jobs did not pay that well and people just managed to scrape through, so it was a bit of a shock to people who wanted to be seen as 'trendy' when they saw a very cheaply made Adidas or Nike cotton t-shirt for £49.99! these same t-shirts today can be bought for as little as £10
For those, though growing up in the '80s maybe in secondary school we think you will agree how lucky you were to have seen and been part of the greatest decade of our times.

Role of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate in formation of forespore membrane in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Masayuki Onishi, Takako Koga, Rika Morita, Yoko Nakamura, Taro Nakamura, Chikashi Shimoda, Kaoru Takegawa, Aiko Hirata, Yasuhisa Fukui
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase (encoded by the pik3+ gene) in Schizosaccharomyces pombe has been identified as a homologue of VPS34p, a protein required for proper vesicular protein sorting. The clone defective in this protein carries enlarged vacuoles and exhibits sensitivity to high temperature or high ion concentration. The effect of disruption of pik3+ on sporulation of Sz. pombe was examined. The diploid cells underwent G1 arrest and meiosis. However, the spores formed by the Δpik3 cells were not viable. Electron-microscopic analysis revealed that the growth of the forespore membrane of Δpik3 cells was not correctly orientated, failing to engulf the nucleus or forming extremely small spores, as was confirmed by the use of Spo3p-GFP and GFP-Psy1p, which are markers of the forespore membrane. The coating materials found along the forespore membrane of the wild-type were greatly reduced in these cells. PI 3-P, the product of Pik3p, was detected on the forespore membrane, suggesting that PI 3-P-dependent vesicle transport may take place in formation of the forespore membrane. Misshaped forespore membrane, accumulation of vesicles, formation of small non-viable spores, and suppression by over expression of Psy1p were the phenotypes commonly seen in Δpik3 and Δspo3 cells, suggesting a relationship between the functions of Pik3p and Spo3p in formation of the forespore membrane in Sz. pombe.

Brazil is home to a rich array of music forms, ranging from samba and forro to gaucho and embolada. A DJ-led revolution is spawning other hybrid forms of music as well, with club remixes and electronic re-rubs. This compilation moves far beyond beach-bikinibossa and dips into other genres such as siría from Tocantíns, gaúcho milonga from the Argentinian border, guaraní-influenced rhythms from the edges of Paraguay, and endless versions of canção and caïpira from the Bahian and Mineiro interiors.
The album begins in fine style with the superbly jazzy track Comadi by Ceú and Beto Villares. The dreamy ambient mood carries on with Errare Humanum Est by Seu Jorge and then becomes decidedly more funky with Ela É Brasileira by Seu Jorge and Wilson Simoninha. Other tracks which stand out include the pretty instrumental acoustic guitar piece by Marcel Powell Trio, O Morro Não Tem Vez. Marcel Powell is the son of the late maestro of Brazilian acoustic Afro-guitar, Baden Powell.
Jota Canalha introduces a more familiar samba piece with Lero-Lero Blá-Blá-Blá Ou Papo De Ong. Smooth electro-groove sounds are featured in the classic track Queria from Bossacucanova featuring Marcos Valle. The compilation includes another fine instrumental piece, A Cara Dele, with Jose Carlos Batista dos Santos on trombone. Another high-energy track with samba rock is Mulata Rainha by Jair Oliveira. Other featured artistes include Danilo Caymmi, from one of the most musical families in Brazil (father Dorival, mother Stella, and siblings Dori and Nana).
As if all these aren't enough musical goodies, the album comes with a bonus CD featuring Vitor Ramil and Marcos Suzano. Their pleasant vocals, skilful percussion and ambient mixing really stand out. Our picks on this CD include the pleasant Viajei and Astronauta_Lirico, as well as the more up-tempo O Copo e a Tempestade and A Ilusao da Casa.

AIAS FORMER FELLOW
Current position: Professor, Department of Biomedicine, Aarhus University
During his Jens Christian Skou Fellowship, Professor Jens Georg Leipziger has been working on the project 'The discovery, relevance and application of the Cystic Fibrosis Urine Test'.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal genetic disease in Caucasians with a frequency of ~1 in 2000 new-borns caused by loss of function of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator gene (CFTR). CFTR is a Cl- channel localized in the apical membrane of glandular tissues like the gastrointestinal tract and the lungs. We have identified the molecular mechanism of CFTR-dependent urine bicarbonate excretion in the collecting duct. CFTR knock-out mice cannot respond to increase their urine bicarbonate excretion following a defined acute oral load. We find a similar phenotype in human CF patients. We have invented a CF urine test that is simple and quantifies the ability to excrete bicarbonate with the urine. This test has solid potential to characterize the degree of functional loss in CF patients. It will allow quantification of drug therapy success and will identify drug non-responders.
I am a trained medical doctor and started my initial career to treat patients with kidney diseases (Nephrology). Fascinated by the biological complexity of this organ, I decided to move into basic biomedical research and therefore specialized in Physiology. In 2001, I established my own independent laboratory at Aarhus University to continue studying the normal and diseased function of the kidney.

Калья́н () — город в индийском штате Махараштра (округ Тхане), расположен в 60 км к востоку от Мумбаи. Входит в муниципальное образование Кальян-Домбивли, являясь его административным центром. Расположен на берегу Аравийского моря, в эстуарии реки Улхас.

История
Возникновение населённых пунктов на месте современного Кальяна было предопределено удобным местоположением для возникновением порта. Порт на месте современного Кальяна существовал уже во времена династии Гупта (320—550). В 1500 году порт был захвачен Биджапурским султанатом, позже перешёл под контроль могольского правителя Шах-Джахана, в середине XVII века укрепившего и усилившего город. Значение города значительно возросло в ходе эпохи Великих географических открытий, так как он являлся важным звеном в защите западного побережья и в частности Бомбея, который стал ключевым центром торговли с Европой. Позже город в результате противостояния Маратхской империи и Империи Великих Моголов вошёл в состав государства маратхов, которые сделали Кальян своим стратегическим центром.

После поражения маратхских правителей в англо-маратхских войнах Кальян перешёл под контроль англичан и стал частью Бомбейского президентства. После обретения Индией независимости город вошёл в состав штата Бомбей. В 1960 году, в результате раздела штата Бомбей, Кальян вошёл в состав маратхоязычного штата Махараштра.

Физико-географическая характеристика
Средняя высота над уровнем моря — 7 метров. Расположен в 53 км от Мумбаи.

Климат города тропический. Согласно классификации климатов Кёппена Am. Средняя температура — 27,1 °C. Годовая норма осадков — 2818 мм. Средняя температура мая (самого жаркого месяца) — 30,5 °C. Средний температура января (самый холодный месяц) — 23,4 °C.

NVIDIA Broadcast App: The new game-changing tool for streamers?
It's been a year since NVIDIA first teased the RTX Broadcast Engine, a new suite of SDKs that harness the power of AI to deliver powerful features such as noise removal, virtual background, and face tracking in real-time for broadcasting, content creation, and video conferencing. As the name suggests, GeForce RTX graphics cards users can take advantage of these features to step up their game streaming without the need for any special equipment, which is now made available as the NVIDIA Broadcast App.
Back then when the new NVENC was introduced, NVIDIA claims to have been working closely with popular streaming apps such as OBS, Discord, Streamlabs, Twitch Studio, and XSplit to improve the broadcast performance. We can expect the same for the those who have been following closely to all the updates on NVIDIA's end as well, where these features can be used together with popular mainstream streaming apps and without a doubt, can be really useful not only for the pro-streamers but for starters, the aspiring streamers as well.
NVIDIA Broadcast App Features
By harnessing the power of the RTX GPUs, both Turing and Ampere architecture GPU that comes with its dedicated Tensor cores, the Broadcast app offers three powerful features:
Noise Removal: remove background noise from your microphone feed – be it a dog barking or the doorbell ringing. The AI network can even be used on incoming audio feeds to mute that one keyboard-mashing friend who won't turn on push-to-talk.
Virtual Background: remove the background of your webcam feed and replace it with game footage, a replacement image, or even a subtle blur.
Auto Frame: zooms in on you and uses AI to track your head movements, keeping you at the center of the action even as you shift from side to side. It's like having your own cameraperson.
For all three features mentioned above, the RTX Voice is probably an already known feature to those who have been following closely to all the updates on NVIDIA's end. It's especially useful if you've been constantly disrupted by undesirable background noise during your streams, voice chats, or video conferences and after experiencing it myself, I must say, it's much better than what I've initially expected.
Another feature that I find really interesting is the Auto Frame, which is basically your virtual personal cameraman that tracks your movements and keeps you in the spotlight during your streams. As for the virtual background, it might not be the industry's first but compared to other existing options such as getting an actual setup with green screens or paid software, the Broadcast App is FREE. You don't have to pay a single cent to use the app and the only thing you need to make sure is that your system meets the minimum requirement to run the app.
Of course, the NVIDIA Broadcast App is not limited only to the streaming apps but video conferencing software as well, especially Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams which is especially useful during the pandemic where many corporate workers have been working from home. As long as you have a GeForce RTX GPU powered system, you can pretty much take advantage of these features for all your streaming needs – yes, you will need GeForce RTX GPU to use these features, a GeForce RTX 2060 at least.
With that being said, I think NVIDIA is definitely doing a great job since the introduction of the RTX Broadcast Engine. The continuous effort in providing more useful features and a better environment the can really benefit GeForce RTX GPUs users does give me the excitement to wanting to see more of what other features will NVIDIA be introducing next.

Saatchi and Saatchi boss Kevin Roberts has resigned following a controversial interview that gave rise to a gender discrimination row.
The Kiwi advertising guru told the Business Insider gender bias did not exist in advertising and he spent little time on it.
Today, the company's parent group, Publicis, announced his resignation and said he'd be stepping down from the post in September.
"The Supervisory Board and the Chairman and CEO of Publicis Groupe took note of Kevin Robert's decision to step down with effect from September 1st 2016, prior to his retirement date due in May 2017," the statement read.
The decision follows just days after the chairman was put on leave for the comments which upset his employer.
Chief executive Maurice Levy said the company had a no-tolerance approach "towards behaviour or commentary counter to the spirit of Publicis Group and its celebration of difference..."
He added: "Promoting gender equality starts at the top and the Groupe will not tolerate anyone speaking for our organisation who does not value the importance of inclusion."
In a statement to NBR Kevin Roberts offered his apologies and said to help everyone move on he'd decided to bring forward his retirement from May 1, 2017 to September 1, this year.
"When discussing with Business Insider, evolving career priorities and new ways of work/life integration, I failed exceptionally fast."
He said his "miscommunication" on a number of points caused offence for this he was "sorry".

"I have inadvertently embarrassed Saatchi & Saatchi and Publicis Grouope, two companies I love and have been devoted to for almost 20 years."
Roberts said he'd expressed his regret and apologies to the two companies and extended this to his colleagues, other staff and clients.
He said the situation had given him and others a lot to reflect on.
"Within the thousands of tweets, comments and articles there are many powerful and passionate contributions on the changing nature of the workplace, the work we do, what success really looks like, and what companies must do to provide women and men the optimal frameworks in which to flourish.
"I believe that new thinking, frameworks and measures are needed to make more rapid progress on diversity in all its forms, in all professions and occupations.
"Hopefully the focus, on this serious and complex issue will gather momentum."

Faktura VAT RR zawiera m.in. dane dostawcy i nabywcy, informacje o produktach rolnych będących przedmiotem transakcji wraz z określeniem ich wartości, stawkę zryczałtowanego zwrotu podatku oraz podpisane oświadczenie dostawcy produktów rolnych w brzmieniu:

Szczegółowe procedury dotyczące rolników ryczałtowych zawierają art.115, 116, 117 i 118 ustawy z 11 marca 2004 r. o podatku od towarów i usług (Dz.U. Nr 54. poz. 535 ze zm.). Stawka podatku na dostawy produktów rolnych wynosi 7% (od 01.01.2011 do 31.12.2013, po tym okresie 6,5%, zmianę stawki ogłoszono w ustawie z dnia 26 listopada 2010 r. o zmianie niektórych ustaw związanych z realizacją ustawy budżetowej, Dz.U. Nr 238, poz. 1578), w zamyśle ustawodawcy ma być to częściowy zwrot (rekompensata) podatku za nabywane i opodatkowane środki produkcji wykorzystywane do produkcji produktów rolnych. Nabywca dolicza 7% VAT do ceny uzgodnionej z rolnikiem ryczałtowym, wystawia fakturę RR, jeśli płaci gotówką to nie ma prawa odliczenia podatku naliczonego. Jeśli zobowiązanie wynikające z faktury RR jest zapłacone przelewem na konto rolnika ryczałtowego w terminie nie później niż 14 dni (chyba że rolnik zawarł umowę z podmiotem i określił inny termin), nabywca będzie mógł odliczyć VAT naliczony w miesiącu, w którym dokonano zapłaty.

Dokument potwierdzający transakcję może wystawić tylko i wyłącznie nabywca produktów lub usług oraz musi dodatkowo spełnić trzy warunki:
 Zakupione towary lub usługi są wymienione w Załączniku nr 2 do Ustawy o VAT.
 Nabywcą jest przedsiębiorca, który jest czynnym podatnikiem VAT.
 Sprzedawcą jest rolnik ryczałtowy.

Dokument potwierdzający nabycie produktów lub usług od rolnika, musi zawierać podstawowe dane, które wymagane są przez przepisy prawa – powinien zawierać:

Beyond a shadow of doubt, the very Best of the Best was the Led Zeppelin "Whole Lotta Love" celebration. From the first to last song – stupendous version of Whole Lotta Love, it was sensational. It was great to see such a huge range of ages in the audience, from we 'originals' to those of younger years. Perfect ambience at the Palais, will be there again!

Lawrence volunteered for the Northumberland Fusiliers, and embarked for France in early 1916 as temporary Second Lieutenant of the 19th battalion. Between February and June, the company made their way towards the front line, stopping in Vielle-Chapelle and La Couture to build reserve trenches, repair existing ones, and carry out general field maintenance. But it was not until his battalion marched from their camp in Mailly Wood through No Man's Land on 6 July 1916 that they witnessed the savagery of the Somme on its vastest scale. An account of the 19th battalion's service, written by Captain CH Cooke and illustrated by Lawrence, recalled the 'infinite tragedy' of the scene, where tens of thousands of bodies 'lay in shell-holes, in bits of trenches, but chiefly in the open'. It was 'tragedy enough to sicken the most callous'. By July 15th 1916 the battalion was in Bray, awaiting orders for work in Trones Wood. The soldier in our sketch appears in another drawing by Lawrence, done on July 5th 1916 and inscribed 'Le Bois de Trones'. Lawrence did not return home until March 1917, when he was posted to the IV Corps school in London as instructor, and upon discharge in 1919, continued his studies at the Royal College of Art.
This portrait head is similar to that of one of the figures in Lawrences lost masterpiece The Altruists, first exhibited at the British Empire Exhibition, Wembley, 1924:

Alfred Kingsley
Painter of pictures and murals and draughtsman, born in Lewes, Sussex. He studied at King Edward VII School of Art in Newcastle upon Tyne under Richard Hatton, at Royal College of Art with William Rothenstein and then in Italy as a Prix de Rome winner, 1923. Elected RA in 1938. Lawrence was a fine figure painter and a RA stalwart for many years, his work having a strong underlying draughtsmanship. Also showed RP of which he was a member and widely abroad. Among Lawrence's notable murals are ones in Laing Art Gallery and Museum, Newcastle; Palace of Westminster; and Bank of England. Lived in London.
During WW1 Lawrence was in the Tyneside Pioneers, and according to Richard Dunning was in the front line 100 yards from Lochnagar when it was blown up. Given that the (unannounced) 27 ton explosion was heard and felt in Kew, it must have unnerved him considerably – fortunately the Pioneers were the only troops, out of 100,000, who didn't go over the top on that day. Lawrences masterpiece, The Altruists, (first exhibited at British Empire Exhibition, Wembley, 1924, then British Pavilion, 1925 Paris and now lost) showing First World War soldiers and a selection of robed figures grouped on either side of a risen Christ, was his most ambitious serious attempt to sublimate his traumatic WW1 experiences.

Espresso, the Story
1stincoffeedb 2016-05-01
1stincoffeedb / May 1, 2016 / 0 / 4.1k
We are very excited about the Jura Z6, our new state-of-the-art espresso machine, and, in inspiration, we would like to share the story of espresso and how it came to be: basically, the Jura Z6's raison d'être.
Italians were drinking coffee two and a half centuries before espresso appeared. Coffee had been brought by North Africans who during the Renaissance had traveled to Italy through the port of Venice. The 1640s were when the first coffee houses had appeared in Italy, and Venetian merchants charged high prices to wealthy patrons to try this magical and mystical drink.
Fast-forward to the early 20th century, and espresso first shows its face in Italy. But, first, before we share more about the history—what is espresso? The world of coffee can be complex, so we've decided to give a quick introductory lesson on exactly what espresso is, first starting with how it's made. And then, the history.
What Is Espresso?
Espresso is coffee formed by pressing almost boiling water through coffee beans that are finely ground. It has a consistency that's thicker than coffee, and which has a chocolatey foam called crema on top. Crema is a foam with a creamy consistency. Espresso is the base for drinks like caffe latte, café mocha, cappuccino, and caffe Americano.
One misconception is that espresso has more caffeine than coffee, but, because the drink is served in a smaller cup, it contains slightly less caffeine than a cup of coffee. Generally, the amount of caffeine in espresso versus coffee is 120 to 170 mg of caffeine for espresso, to 150 to 200 mg of caffeine for an average cup of coffee.
How Is Espresso Made?
Espresso is made when near-boiling water is pressed through ground coffee beans at a very high pressure. It's generally made using an espresso machine, and the ground beans are tamped down so that water penetrates the grounds evenly. The solid and dissolved portions are extracted from this process, creating a syrupy consistency. While no regulated standard exists for making espresso, general guidelines do exist for temperature, water pressure, rate of extraction, and amount of ground coffee.
The word used to name making a shot of espresso is called "pulling a shot," since the process takes its origins from espresso machines with levers that pulled to make espresso. 1st in Coffee offers the high quality Jura Z6 for superb shots of espresso.
The Italian Espresso National Institute has a number of parameters to make "certified" Italian espresso:
Portion of ground coffee 7 ± 0.5 g (0.25 ± 0.02 oz.)
Exit temperature of water from unit 88 ± 2 °C (190 ± 4 °F)
Temperature in cup 67 ± 3 °C (153 ± 5 °F)
Entry water pressure 9 ± 1 bar (131 ± 15 psi)
Percolation time 25 ± 5 seconds
Volume in cup (including crema) 25 ± 2.5 ml (0.85 ± 0.08 US fl. oz.)
When Did Espresso Become Popular?
Espresso has experienced a rise in popularity since the 1980s. Many cafes and coffee shops now serve many versions of espresso by adding whipped cream, syrup, extracts, soy milk, and spices to the drinks. With a machine such as the Jura Z6, you can also enjoy espresso at home.
While a person can drink a single or double shot of espresso, it is also used as a base for other drinks. The benefit of having an espresso machine at home or in a place of work is that you can create drinks exactly how you want. Steam the milk yourself, and pull the shots. You have more of a selection. Learn more about our state-of-the-art Jura Z6 espresso machine here.
What Is the History Behind Espresso?
Steam punk might be popular now, but the style takes its inspiration from the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, where steam power was all the rage. So, when Angelo Morindo registered an Italian parent for a steam-driven drink making device—an early version of an espresso machine—it was a big step in the direction of quick service espresso. A number of innovations were made to this machine in 1901 by Luigi Bezzera, who registered many improvements.
In Italy, espresso became associated with urbanization, and local authorities were responsible for setting coffee prices. During the late and early 20th centuries, espresso bars became more common and became known as places for socializing. In the English-speaking world, espresso became popular through the latte, which used foam (crema) and became an exotic new drink that had been created in the 1950s, started by the Italian American Lino Meiorin, who was the Owner of Caffe Mediterraneum in Berkeley, California.
The popularization of espresso can be credited with the Italian diaspora, which brought the culture of coffee along with them as they immigrated to the United States. Also, as specialty coffee became more and more popular in the United States in the 1980s, espresso experienced more interest in the U.S.
We believe that espresso is here to stay. For possibly the best espresso in the world, try the Jura Z6 espresso machine. The Jura Z6 uses state-of-the-art technology with the trademarked Pulse Extraction Process. The machine has automatic filter detection, and, for drinks using milk, it can finish your drink off with milk or foam at the touch of a button.
Next time you take a sip, it can be filled not only with quality and class, but with an understanding of the roots of one of the world's most popular beverages.

Surface tension measurement at the microscale by passive resonance of capillary waves.
LIMMS/CNRS-IIS UMI 2820, Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, 4-6-1 Komaba, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 153-8505, Japan.
The properties of fluid interfaces increase in importance as the physical scale decreases and, hence, characterization of surface tension becomes all the more critical. However, there is to date no method to characterize this parameter on microscale surfaces. We propose here a simple method based on the resonance of capillary waves, which are naturally excited by thermal fluctuations, under one-dimensional spatial restrictions using single-beam dynamic light scattering. The principle was verified at methanol/air interfaces in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels having various widths. Characteristic comb-shape power spectra were experimentally obtained. Theoretical analysis showed that the spectral peaks correspond to the first or higher modes of the capillary wave resonance in the restricted space between the parallel channel walls. A useful relation between successive modes was derived to eliminate the effects of damping at the soft PDMS walls. Thus, for methanol, two values were calculated from three successive modes (24.8 and 21.2 mN/m); the literature value is 22.02 mN/m. For acetonitrile, the value obtained was 28.2 ± 5 mN/m, close to the literature value of 28.6 mN/m. Although accuracy and precision require further elucidation, this novel method is expected to become a powerful tool at the micro/nanoscale.


Traditional braces can provide treatment for a wide range of orthodontic problems, including bad bites, crooked or crowded teeth & misalignment. Braces consist of metal brackets that are attached to the teeth & fitted with an arched wire that gently shifts your teeth into the desired position.
A small square metal bracket is attached to the front of each tooth with special bonding cement.
Some teeth, such as your back molars, may need a metal band that wraps around the whole tooth instead of a bracket.
Wires are then placed onto the brackets, tightened & kept in place with colored rubber bands called ligatures.
You may also need separate removable rubber bands that move your jaw into place.
At each appointment, the orthodontist will check your progress, adjust the wires & replace your ligatures.
What is the Cost of Traditional Braces?
If you are not sure braces are worth the cost, consider this: Orthodontic treatment serves more purposes than simply creating a better-looking smile. Teeth that are overcrowded & misaligned can cause more severe dental issues in the future. For example, upper & lower teeth that don't fit together can grind against each other & eventually lead to damage or even tooth loss. Furthermore, crooked & crowded teeth may be harder to keep clean due to areas that are difficult or impossible to access with a toothbrush or dental floss. Because of this, braces are an important tool for enabling oral hygiene & may be necessary to prevent tooth decay & gum disease.
What metal braces lack in aesthetic quality, they make up for in their ability to correct most bite issues. Forgoing prettier or more discreet options like clear aligners can improve treatment time & results. In more complicated or severe cases of misalignment, traditional braces may be the only orthodontic option that can do the job. Fortunately, recent advancements in orthodontics have also given us better-looking, more affordable & more effective metal braces.
Wearing metal braces can also harm your dental hygiene if you do not maintain a rigorous hygiene routine. Food & plaque can easily become stuck in the brackets, so brushing your teeth after every meal & flossing at least once a day is highly advisable. Yes, you still need to floss your teeth even though you have a metal wire in the way! Your orthodontist can give you some tips, & there are appliances that help you "thread" the floss around the wire. You also need to come to your regularly scheduled dental cleaning appointments, of course.
If you want to prevent gunk from getting in your braces in the first place, you can start by following a few dietary restrictions. Avoid foods that are chewy, sticky, crunchy or hard. Caramel, chewing gum & popcorn are a few of braces' worst enemies. They can get stuck in your brackets, loosen a wire or even damage your braces. As usual, sugary foods & drinks that cause cavities should be kept to a minimum.
Failure to keep your teeth clean while wearing braces can lead to stained teeth, tooth decay & gum disease. Despite being traps for plaque & food particles, braces do have one hygiene benefit—they will force you to overcome any poor brushing & flossing habits! Keep in mind that the difficulty of cleaning teeth with metal braces is a small price to pay for a healthier & more attractive smile.
Having straight teeth doesn't just mean a beautiful smile; a normal bite reduces the potential for tooth decay, gum disease, tooth loss, poor speech or chewing & jaw problems. Thanks to advances in orthodontic materials, treatment times for traditional braces are shorter than in the past. Traditional metal braces are often the least expensive option for achieving a straight & healthy smile!
