Penguin Random House India acquires Hind Pocket Books
By A Staff Writer
In a major announcement, Penguin Random House India today said that it has acquired Hind Pocket Books, one of the oldest and most respected Hindi language publishers in the country.
Established in 1958, the highly regarded Hind Pocket Books are widely considered as pioneers in publishing Hindi and Urdu paperbacks in India, and have an impressive list of critically acclaimed and commercially successful titles. They have published some of the most renowned authors from the subcontinent and across the world, including Amrita Pritam, Shivani, Acharya Chatursen, Gulshan Nanda, Narendra Kohli, Khushwant Singh, R K Narayan, Dr Radhakrishnan, Dominique Lapierre, Osho, Thich Nhat Hanh, Ruzbeh Bharucha, Wayne Dyer, to name a few, and their titles and authors have won several prestigious awards, including the Nobel Prize, the Sahitya Akademi Awards, and the Jnanpith Award.
The acquisition of Hind Pocket Books will build further on Penguin Random House India's presence in local language publishing, to which it has been committed for over a decade. Penguin began its Hindi publishing programme in India in 2005, and has built a significant catalogue of acclaimed titles over the years.
Nandan Jha, Senior Vice President, Penguin Random House India will in his expanded role take on the added portfolio of building the Indian language publishing programme, in addition to heading sales and product for the company. Vaishali Mathur, previously responsible for Indian Language Publishing and Rights at Penguin Random House India will with immediate effect be Editor-in-Chief of Hind Pocket Books, and will also continue to build her English language publishing programme.

I congratulate our Penguin Random House India CEO Gaurav Shrinagesh, and I thank Mr. Shekhar Malhotra for selecting our team to further build on his iconic publishing house and great successes."
Shekhar Malhotra, Managing Director, Hind Pocket Books stated, "It is a great honour for us that this pioneering legacy is now in the reputed hands of Penguin Random House India. The Hind Pocket Books Group has nurtured some of the best local language publishing across decades, making available quality literature all over the country with its motto: Books for the Millions. In 1956, my father, D.N. Malhotra, founder of Hind Pocket Books, met with Sir Allen Lane (Founder, Penguin Books), the year Penguin was celebrating its 21st anniversary, and here began a great association between two imminent visionaries. It is only fitting that today our company chooses to hand over its legacy to Penguin Random House India, under the inspired leadership of Markus Dohle and Gaurav Shrinagesh, who will build on this remarkable publishing programme and bring to the forefront our rich cultural heritage of literature and the arts."

Corrections & Clarifications: A previous version of this article misstated the distance of the man's fall.
PHOENIX – An international tourist died after he fell hundreds of feet into the Grand Canyon while trying to take photos Thursday, authorities say.
According to David Leibowitz, a spokesman for Grand Canyon West, a tour group from Hong Kong was visiting the Grand Canyon, and many of the tourists were taking photos very close to the rim of the canyon.
While attempting to snap a photo at Eagle Point, adjacent to the popular Skywalk attraction, a 50-year-old man from the group accidentally fell off the rim and into the canyon.
According to Leibowitz, a helicopter search located the man's body at the bottom of the canyon. His body will be transported by helicopter to the nearest hospital.
His identity hasn't been released.
Grand Canyon West is an area of the canyon west of Grand Canyon National Park that is owned and operated by the Hualapai Indian Tribe. The tribal nation operates the popular Skywalk bridge and other attractions in that area, which is west of the National Park.

Biografia

Laureato in ingegneria, Mikkola sin da ragazzo ambisce a diventare pilota di rally. Suo padre è amico di Osmo Kalpala, pilota di vertice negli anni '50, e nel 1958 Mikkola fa la sua conoscenza, cosa che lo spinge definitivamente a tentare la carriera di pilota.

Comincia correre privatamente nel campionato nazionale finlandese nel 1963.

Alla fine del 1965 Leo Yoki, uomo d'affari finlandese e grande mecenate di vari piloti finnici, decide di aiutarlo trovandogli degli sponsor e facendolo assumere come pilota della Volvo Finland. Nel 1966 Mikkola vince due rally nazionali in cui batte due noti piloti come Timo Makinen e Rauno Aaltonen.

Cesare Fiorio, capo della squadra Lancia HF, affida a Mikkola una macchina per il rally di Montecarlo 1967. Il finlandese si batte bene trovandosi al 7º posto assoluto prima dell'ultima prova sul Turini, ma lo smarrimento della tabella di marcia fa scattare la squalifica.

Nel 1968 vince il Campionato Finlandese, arriva 2º all'Alpenfahrt con una Lancia e si fa notare con una buona prestazione all'Acropolis con una Volvo. I vertici della Ford lo ingaggiano, e Mikkola con una Escort vince la prestigiosa gara di casa, il rally dei 1000 Laghi, gara in cui trionferà per ben sette volte (1968-69-70-74 con la Ford, 1975 con la Toyota e 1982-1983 con l'Audi), un record eguagliato solo da Marcus Gronholm.

Nel 1969 vince all'Alpenfahrt. Nel 1970 è 1º all'Arctic rally e trionfa alla massacrante maratona Londra-Mexico con una Ford Escort, una delle gare più lunghe di tutta la storia delle corse automobilistiche.

Nel 1972, sempre con la Ford Escort, diventa il primo europeo a vincere il Safari rally.

Nel 1975, oltre alla vittoria al 1000 Laghi con la Toyota, corre alcune gare con la squadra FIAT (2º a Montecarlo e in Portogallo in coppia con Jean Todt) e vince in Marocco con la Peugeot (sempre con Todt).

Nel 1978 torna alla vittoria in gare iridate col trionfo al RAC sull'Escort RS e perde in Portogallo negli ultimi chilometri dopo una famosa lotta con Markku Alen.

Nel 1979 viene istituito il Campionato Mondiale rally Piloti, e Mikkola vince 4 gare: in Portogallo, in Nuova Zelanda e al RAC con la Ford, e poi in Costa d'Avorio con la Mercedes (con cui è anche 2º al Safari), ma il titolo gli sfugge per un solo punto a vantaggio di Waldegaard.

Nel 1980, correndo sempre con Ford e Mercedes, non vince nessun rally ma è di nuovo 2º in Campionato dietro a Rohrl.
Sempre nel 1980 diventa collaudatore dell'Audi, che nel 1981 fa debuttare la prima macchina a trazione integrale nella storia dei rallyes, la "Quattro". Hannu Mikkola ricopre un ruolo fondamentale nello sviluppo dell'Audi Quattro.

Porta la prima vittoria alla casa tedesca nel 1981 al rally di Svezia, ripetendosi al RAC e giungendo 3º nel Mondiale. La stagione successiva arriva nuovamente terzo nel mondiale piloti, con 2 vittorie (1000 Laghi e RAC) e 2 secondi posti, dietro alla sorprendente Michèle Mouton che per poco non vince il mondiale ai danni di Walter Röhrl.

Nel 1983 grazie ai 7 podi di cui 4 vittorie (Svezia, Portogallo, Argentina e 1000 Laghi) Mikkola si aggiudica il Mondiale Piloti, anche se l'Audi perde per soli 2 punti la classifica costruttori vinta dalla Lancia 037. L'anno successivo ottiene 8 podi, con una vittoria in Portogallo. Il Mondiale va al compagno Stig Blomqvist con 125 punti, 21 in più di Mikkola, 2º.

L'ultima vittoria prima del ritiro, avvenuto nel 1993, è al Safari del 1987 con l'Audi 200 Quattro.

Dopo aver avuto diversi copiloti nella prima parte della carriera (fra cui il futuro direttore della Scuderia Ferrari Jean Todt), dal 1978 ha gareggiato regolarmente in coppia con Arne Hertz.

Da quando fu istituito il Campionato Mondiale Marche (1973), Mikkola ha ottenuto 18 vittorie iridate.

È scomparso nel 2021 all'età di 78 anni a seguito di un tumore.

Chris Saccardi (The Law Office of Christopher T. Saccardi), Lawrence Wind (The Law Office of Lawrence A. Wind), and Judge Jeffrey Winik (Boston Housing Court) led Monday's Housing Court training.
On Monday evening we kicked off a week of Boston Housing Court events at 16 Beacon with "Trying a Case in Housing Court." The BBA partnered with the Volunteer Lawyers Project to teach attorneys the ins and outs of trying a Housing Court case from opening to closing – with a special presentation on evidence rules as they pertain to eviction cases. In exchange for the free training, attorneys are expected to volunteer with the Lawyer for the Day in the Boston Housing Court Program – which brings us to our next event.
As our readers may remember from this post, we will be celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the Lawyer for the Day in the Boston Housing Court Program this Thursday at 5 pm. Be sure to join us and salute the amazing accomplishments of this program (more than 15,000 pro se litigants helped!) and thank our hard working volunteers. Be there!
What do you hope attendees learned from the training?
Why should attorneys get involved in pro bono efforts in the Housing Court? How can pro bono experience help attorneys build a practice?

The latest NHK-series: Telepathy Shoujo Ran, a charming mystery shoujo series about the titular character who is blessed with the gift of telepathy, among others. With Yoshiiro Ike's soundtrack, it features an adaptation of a set of children's novels; it had the potential to be either a fun little series or a gigantic flop. Thankfully it became the former.
However, you do need to realize that you do not want to watch this series because of its mystery part. The different stories that are presented throughout the series aren't exactly bad, but they don't stand out either. They're often cheesy, involve Ran&co mostly by coincidences or suffer from overmoralistic confession speeches. They're just… there; in order to support what really makes this series stand out.
What really made me return to this series for every single week is the cast of characters, and then especially the banter that occurs between them. The four lead characters form an excellent team that's always fun to watch. While this series is not strictly a comedy, there were enough hilarious moments between them, and this remains through the entire length of the series. Hardly any attempt at a joke falls flat. Overall, the point where this series excels at is in fleshing out its characters. Even when there's no comedy, the creators and the lead characters manage to keep everything going along smoothly to prevent the viewer from getting bored.
The graphics in this series are also pretty decent. Even though there's lots of epilepsy-inducing CG, characters move smooth and their facial expressions show a very wide range of subtle emotions. It makes use of very bright and varied colours, which makes for a very aesthetically pleasing series. Ike Yoshihiro's soundtrack also brings this series to life, even though it may not be among his best works.
Overall, expect anything from the story here and you will be disappointed, but nevertheless this series managed to achieve what it set out to do: despite the storylines that usually fail to capture, it's a continuously fun series from beginning to end. Ran, Rui, Rin and Midori are a set of wonderful characters, with especially wonderful banter between them.

Are you considering moving to the multi-cloud journey? Then it is not too late to learn how to consume cloud services. Cloud has become common these days in the decision-making process during project execution. It ensures that your business goals are flexible, it provides agility to IT managers, DevOps and CIOs. The multi-cloud strategy can provide your enterprise with a better outcome as compared to the past. With multi-cloud, the business can avoid lock-ins by the vendors as each server solve different problems in different applications. Therefore, you can be able to choose the best fitting solution freely. How should you approach the multi-cloud services? Here are a few useful tips to help you determine when you should consider the multi-cloud services.
Do not limit yourself to one service provider.
Enterprises are approaching the multi-cloud to reduce the dependency on a single cloud service vendor. Before the multi-cloud deployment, business would transfer the entire operations and data into a cloud server hosted by one vendor to create a public or a private cloud. Even the hybrid cloud chose the single solution for the public or private cloud. The disadvantage of relying on a single vendor is that an enterprise will be caught up in the outages and disruptions. With Multi-cloud deployment, the organization does not have to depend on a single cloud vendor or server anymore.
Act as per your needs.
Different cloud providers deliver service differently as per the needs of the user. Some specialize in providing services under e-commerce hosting while countable providers offer plain metal high-end results. A single cloud provider might not be able to provide all of your IT solutions. Your enterprise might need an application on the public internet facing web. Hence you will need the IBM Softlayer while for storage services you will have to choose the AWS services.
Compare multi clouds to determine that fits you best.
Try different cloud providers so as you can determine the best ones for your needs. Despite the simplicity in the process of adopting cloud, the DevOps still require to put more effort and time in the evaluation of the cloud solution. Before you commit to a vendor solution fully, you may want to determine how well the other clouds services are offering their solutions.
So what factors are you going to consider when evaluating the different clouds for your enterprise? We have reviewed five metrics you should use to compare the multi-clouds.
You do not just need to evaluate cost only to determine the best cloud provider as most cloud users do. There is more to it since many vendors provide their services at low prices.
This is the variation in disk size, configuration and the resource size that the enterprise is already using. When selecting a cloud provider, you should be able to scale the cloud environment as per the enterprise's needs and your needs too without affecting the business and customers. Check the cloud provider if they support horizontal or vertical scaling and the combination of offerings.
Latency denotes the measure of time between submission of a single data packet and the arrival of the data packet to its designated point. Latency is almost same as the response time but differs when it comes to the network being used and data traffic. When selecting a cloud provider, for your enterprise, check if the provider support network from multiple closure regions to your customer. Also, check if they support private network.
Response time refers to the measure of time between arrivals of the customer's request to the time when the server responds to the request. For quicker responses, the server deployment of the data center should be in the same region as the customer. Check if the cloud service provider has their data centers in the same area as to where your customers access your server.
Reliability in this sense means the percentage of availability of the response and uptime over a period. When selecting a cloud provider, you should be aware of the status and downtime history of the cloud providers before you hosting or deploying on the cloud. That way, you will avoid losses that are caused by too much server downtime.
Cloud security or cloud computing security is the technologies and policies put down to protect applications data and information related to the cloud computing. Before you deploying a cloud service provider, ensure that the cloud provider supports security features including private networking, Security Groups, and Firewalls so as you can avoid problems such as data loss.
Things to remember before migrating to multi-cloud services.
While migrating to the multi-cloud services, there are mistakes that you should avoid. Migration is a complicated process that every enterprise should be cautious to avoid incurring losses.
Cloud providers are different witch each having features. The various cloud solves a different problem.
Study each provider in detail to determine what the vendor needs and their security policies to make sure that you can meet all the requirements.
Avoid depending merely on the cloud migration experts because they can fail to understand your needs completely. You should participate too in the migration process to make sure that everything you need is taken care of.
Migrate moderately, phase by phase. Start with the batch processing systems, low impact web applications or the collaborative tools so as you can know the hidden migration problems before making the huge step.
Assess compatibility issues to avoid problems that may arise the moment you start migrating web applications. Asses by understanding the structure of your applications and the required customization before relocating to the new servers. In-house applications should have same computing system on the cloud.
To conclude with, the process of migrating to Multi-cloud services is demanding in every aspect, but the benefits outweigh the challenges. You should plan and assess risks to implement the cloud services successfully.

Mans Bridge to Gaters Mill
Above Mans Bridge, the main River Itchen was navigable for about 600 yards to Gaters Mill which was also variously known in the past as South Stoneham Mill, Up Mill, Mansbridge Mill and Westend Mill. There have been mills on this site dating at least since the 13th or 14th century or even earlier. This was a paper mill from 1685 until 1865 when it was rebuilt as a corn mill. The mill suffered a major fire during in 1916/17 and parts were again rebuilt. Gaters Mill closed as a mill after damage caused whilst being used as a munitions store during World War II. Today the buildings are occupied by a number of small businesses.
When the new Mans Bridge was built a new length of road bypassed a section of the former A27 which ran alongside the river. The old road is now used as a footpath and for casual parking. Along this length can be found the popular White Swan public house. This riverside pub opened in the early 1800s and, as much of the land around was owned by the Middleton family, it was called the Middleton Arms. In around 1830 the name was changed to the Swan Inn and then, in 1870, to the White Swan Hotel. Whilst the waterside location is very attractive in summer, winter floods present a less pleasant prospect.
It seems some people don't know quite where the White Swan is - lying as it does between Swaythling and West End, somewhere near Mans Bridge.

Mans Bridge
The new Mans Bridge is a concrete structure opened in 1975 to carry the traffic of the A27 spanning the whole width of the main river. A path passes under the bridge on each bank.
The old Mans Bridge is one of two bridges remaining from the days of commercial use (the other is Wharf Bridge in Winchester). It is an attractive stone structure built by the county in 1816 with a segmental (part of a circle) arch and short causeways on either side.
There has been a bridge on this site since at least Saxon times (a charter of 932AD referred to it as Mannysbrigge) and was, for many centuries, the lowest fixed crossing point of the River Itchen.
Today, the stretch of river between Wood Mill and Gaters Mill is the only part of the Navigation where exercising the right to boat (at least in small craft) is not seriously disputed. Sometimes, canoeists from the Wood Mill Centre may be seen using this length.
For boats, the bridge has less than 6 feet headroom at the centre of the arch even at present normal water levels. Since there are no significant side streams to the River Itchen at this point, all the water coming down the river is channelled under the bridge. It is said that this stretch of river is today maintained at a higher level than in times past making passage quite difficult even in a small boat. When bringing barges upstream, it is quite probable that these had to be winched through against the current.
Until 1975 the bridge carried all the traffic of the A27 and, as it was only just wide enough for two cars to pass, was a serious bottleneck. The upstream parapet suffered badly from collisions with heavy lorries owing to a 90° bend in the road on the south side. During the Second World War a Bailey Bridge was assembled across the river next to the old bridge. It's not known when this was removed but it was before 1961 as is evidenced by the picture of swimming below.
The old bridge is now closed to vehicular traffic and the parapet has been restored. A Grade II listed structure, the bridge is in good condition. Being a county bridge, maintenance was not a responsibility of the Navigation's proprietors.

Woodmill Lock
Woodmill Lock was constructed near the tidal limit of the river. Before the reclamation of Riverside Park, a tidal creek used to extend eastwards beside Woodmill Lane almost as far as Manor Park Road. The site of the lock is now under the road which was widened after the First World War.
It was a sea lock with a masonry chamber running east-west. It was last reconstructed in 1829 with bricks. It had the usual two pairs of lock gates pointing upstream to retain water in the non-tidal river, plus a third pair, pointing downstream, to prevent very high tides from flooding the Navigation with sea water. A wooden bridge across the lock was also built at around this time, but by the middle of the century was in poor repair. It was described in an 1862 report as being made of oak, with 23-foot-long timbers spanning the 15-foot wide lock at an angle of 40 degrees. Mr T P Clarke wrote that "the bridge is quite dilapidated and very unsafe for the traffic which is drawn over it."
It seems that the lock remained in use for barges going upstream to Gaters (or Westend) Mill for some years after traffic ceased in 1869 on the rest of the Navigation. This was, presumably, until the lock became unusable through lack of maintenance. An Ordnance Survey map of 1896 shows that the lock had been infilled. Nothing of this lock is to be seen now but, according to hearsay, the chamber has not been destroyed but just infilled. In 2008, during road works, Southampton City Council's Archaeology Unit found two brick features the width of the lock apart, closely corresponding to the lock position shown in the 1867 map.
There is a large car park beside the non-tidal section of the river.

Trump tells deployed military his domestic problems in Thanksgiving phone call
by: Nancy Cook
(CNN)Departing from previous U.S. presidents' morale-building Thanksgiving visits or phone calls to deployed U.S. military members expressing gratitude for their service, President Donald Trump instead steered the conversation toward his belief that the U.S. is being victimized by migrants at U.S. borders, judges he doesn't like, other country's trade policies, etc.
Speaking with a US general in Afghanistan, Trump likened the fight against terrorists to his efforts to prevent a group of migrants from illegally entering the United States, and he assailed federal judges who have ruled against his administration.
The President also pressed the commanding officer of a Coast Guard ship in Bahrain on trade before touting his trade policies and arguing that "every nation in the world is taking advantage of us."
After the call wrapped, Trump entertained more than two dozen questions from reporters and once again, discredited a CIA assessment about the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Trump has not shied away from politicizing the military in the past, and on Thursday, he drew on U.S. men and women in uniform to justify his deployment of nearly 6,000 U.S. troops to the southern border.
Without evidence, he painted Air Force Gen. David Lyons as a proponent of his hard-line immigration policies after Lyons said US troops are fighting in Afghanistan to prevent terrorists from reaching "our shores again."
"Large numbers of people are forming at our border and I don't even have to ask you, I know what you want to do, you want to make sure that you know who we're letting in. And we're not letting in anybody essentially because we want to be very, very careful,"
Trump said, speaking to Lyons over the phone. "You're right, you're doing it over there. We're doing it over here."
The topic brought Trump to another familiar airing of grievances, as he complained over the phone to the general that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has "become a big thorn in our side."
"It's a terrible thing when judges take over your protective services, when they tell you how to protect your border. It's a disgrace," Trump said. "It's a disgrace."
Earlier this week, a judge from the Northern District of California — where cases get appealed to the 9th Circuit – issued a temporary restraining order – blocking the Trump administration from barring migrants who cross into the US illegally from seeking asylum.
Trump told reporters that on this Thanksgiving Day, he is thankful "For having a great family and for having made a tremendous difference in this country," adding, "I've made a tremendous difference in the country. This country is so much stronger now than it was when I took office that you wouldn't believe it."

A how to bald gracefully is not today nonsense.
Being in a large city you can meet a how to bald gracefully.
You know that Bald – means the absence of hair. Sometimes Bald is the name of the place or animal associated with the meaning of the word bald. For example, the how to bald gracefully also has a connection with the word Bald.
Even among celebrities, one can meet a how to bald gracefully.
If they start to get bald, they resort to various tricks: they transplant hair, drink hormones and wear wigs. Also, probably, a how to bald gracefully may stop being bald if he wants to do it. But these are just our assumptions.

The Ohio State University Department of Political Science was officially founded in 1909, after an unstable prehistory. The University was established as a land-grant institution in 1870, and the Board of Trustees adopted a plan the next year that included a Department of Economy and Civil Polity among its ten departments. A chair was appointed for that department in 1875, but it was abolished two years later for a combination of personality and political reasons, being replaced by a Department of Mines and Mining Engineering. A Department of History and Political Science was established in 1887 and continued for 22 years until two separate departments were created in 1909.
The Department of Political Science had only 8 department chairs during its first century. Henry R. Spencer was the founding chair in 1909, serving a remarkable 38 years until he stepped down in 1947. The next three chairs served through the 1950s and 1960s: Harvey C. Mansfield (1947-1959), E. Allen Helms (1959-1962), and Lawrence J. R. Herson (1962-1969). Randall B. Ripley was chair for the next 22 years (1969-1991), a lengthy period by modern standards, though far shorter than Spencer's reign. Paul Allen Beck (1991-2004) served for 13 years, after which he became the third ex-chair in a row to serve as dean of the college. The next two chairs, Kathleen McGraw (2004-2005) and Herbert F. Weisberg (2005-2011), continued the unbroken string of American Politics specialists to chair the department. In 2011 Richard K. Herrmann became the first International Relations scholar to serve as department chair. He was followed in 2019 by Gregory A. Caldeira, a specialist in American politics.
The early years saw a number of distinguished faculty, including five presidents of the American Political Science Association: Walter J. Shepard, Francis W. Coker, Clarence A. Dykstra, Henry R. Spencer, and Peter H. Odegard. Other noted political scientists who taught at OSU before World War II include James K. Pollock, Jr. (who later served as the long-time chair of the Michigan department) and the political theorist George H. Sabine. More recent association presidents include, Chadwick F. Alger (International Studies Association), William E. Nelson Jr. (National Conference of Black Political Scientists), Brian Pollins (Peace Science Society, International), and Janet M. Box-Steffensmeier (Political Methodology Society). E. Allen Helms, John Kessel, Herbert Weisberg, Gregory Caldeira, and Janet Box-Steffensmeier have served as president of the Midwest Political Science Association. The American Political Science Association has given its Frank J. Goodnow Award for service to the profession to Samuel C. Patterson and Paul Allen Beck.
The OSU department has housed several of the top political science journals. The flagship American Political Science Review was at OSU for two editorships: that of Harvey C. Mansfield Sr. and of Samuel C. ("Pat") Patterson—and for the co-editorship of Gregory A. Caldeira. The American Journal of Political Science was in the department during three editorships: John H. Kessel, the joint editorship of Herbert B. Asher and Herbert F. Weisberg, and, more recently, Gregory A. Caldeira. During 2019, Sarah Brooks was co-editor of the American Journal of Political Science. The leading international relations journal, International Studies Quarterly, was at OSU under the co-editorship of Richard K. Herrmann, Brian M. Pollins, and Goldie A. Shabad. The Political Behavior journal was edited at OSU by Diana Mutz. Currently, Alexander Wendt is co-editing International Theory and Randy Schweller is the editor-in-chief of Security Studies.

The epibenthic sledge (EBS) is an important collection gear to study the benthic macrofauna of the deep-sea.
We want to record and understand the biodiversity of crustaceans. Basic morphological research on organisms, their structures and characteristics is of great importance for this, but genetic data also provide important information. This provides us with insights into the origination, distribution patterns and ecology of the various crustacean groups.
The scientific activity of the Crustacea Section has two geographical focuses, the deep sea and the seas of the polar regions. There, the Senckenberg crustacean researchers decipher the evolution, ecology and biogeography of peracarid crustaceans (Peracarida), especially the isopods. The basis for this research is taxonomy.
Field research, collection work and virtual data collection
Data collection is the most important part of research into the deep sea and its crustaceans. Essentially, we obtain this data in three ways: Collection trips, museum exchange, and online databases.
In part, Senckenberg crustacean researchers collect their research data themselves by collecting the underlying objects. They regularly take part in deep-sea expeditions, some of which they organise and lead themselves. Among the most recent expeditions are the Larsen-C expedition in 2019 and KuramBio II (2016). These expeditions are usually several weeks long voyages on large research vessels, using special sampling equipment such as the large box corer, multiple corer or the epibenthic sledge, which in its today most commonly used configurations was developed by Senckenberg researchers of the Crustacea section as well as the DZMB.
A second important pillar of data collection is the exchange with other natural history museums. Through loans of collection material or research trips to other such museums, scientific collections, some of which are very old, are still used for cutting-edge research. Some of them still provide important findings decades after their collection.
Finally, the Senckenberg crustacean researchers use public databases, such as GenBank and OBIS, to make data available (mobilise) and to "mine" them for further analysis based on data sets made available by other scientists. In particular, Dr. Hanieh Saeedi uses this 'form of data collection' in her BENEFICIAL project to produce biogeographical analyses and make predictions about the effects of climate change on the marine fauna.
As a fundamental basis for further studies, taxonomy is one of the main topics of the Crustacean section. Every year this foundation is broadened at Senckenberg by the discovery and description of new species. The scientific collection serves as a living archive in the sense of transparent and sustainable research – guest researchers from all over the world use it for their taxonomic work. Descriptive and identifying taxonomy is an elementary component or basic requirement for most of the projects of the Crustacean Section. A particularly taxonomically oriented project is the revision (systematic revision) of the isopod family Macrostylidae.
Faunistics
The recording and registration of species communities of specific regions in the deep sea and polar seas is one of the most important fields of work of the Crustaceans Section. For this purpose, we work in collaborative projects, such as KuramBio and Larsen-C , with taxonomic specialists for other animal groups from all over the world. Such census projects target the entire faunal community of a certain region, if possible, and thus form the basis for determining future changes, which may be related, for example, to climate change or pollution. Faunistic research is thus the basis for biomonitoring (faunal change over time) and biogeography.
The KuramBio project currently being worked on is one of a whole series of research projects in the Northwest Pacific (SoJaBio, KuramBio, SokhoBio, KuramBio II), whose deep-sea fauna it is inventorying. In the near future it will be supplemented by another project, AleutBio. This will add the Aleutian Trench and the Bering Sea to the faunistic surveys already carried out.
The Larsen-C Benthos project is surveying the seabed fauna of the Antarctic continental shelf. In the area east of the Antarctic Peninsula known as the Prince Gustav Channel, two ice shelves (glaciers floating on the sea) broke off in 1995, changing this marine area. In this project, Senckenberg researchers, together with colleagues from the British Antarctic Survey, are investigating the effects of this change on the seabed fauna in the sea floor formerly covered by the glacier.
The proliferation of marine organisms and communities of organisms is linked to certain environmental factors. For example, their distribution may be linked to oceanic water bodies, temperature, salinity or a limited depth horizon. Biogeography deals with these environmental preferences of species and communities and their resulting geographical distribution. If the biogeography of a particular region is known and supported by a good knowledge of species, it is possible to predict changes in the distribution of organisms and interpret them based on knowledge of their preferences. This is the aim of the BENEFICIAL project, which studies and models the changes in faunas in the transition zone between the Northwest Pacific and the Arctic. Thus, BENEFICIAL ties in seamlessly with the SoJaBio, KuramBio, SokhoBio and KuramBio II research projects in the Northwest Pacific.
In the Crustacea section, we also deal with the phylogenetic origins of deep-sea crustaceans and the question of which factors can lead to the formation of species in the deep sea. For this evolutionary biological work we use the methods of phylogenetics (family tree reconstruction) and population genetics.
In view of the (supposed) large-scale monotony of the deep-sea habitat (especially in the abyss), our ideas about the evolutionary origins of deep-sea fauna are still very limited. For various groups of organisms it has been postulated that they migrate into the abyssal from shallower sea areas where they originate. For marine isopods, many representatives occur exclusively in the abyssal, which seems to contradict the above-mentioned assumption. We are therefore investigating whether deep-sea species form in these animals, how the deep-sea fauna is phylogenetically related to the fauna of shallow seas, and what factors play a role in this.
For example, in the KuramBio project, we are investigating the influence that alleged barriers and gradients, such as deep-sea trenches, have on the distribution of species and the exchange between populations, and whether they can contribute to speciation by reducing gene flow. Such studies are carried out on the cosmopolitan deep-sea isopod family Macrostylidae, among others.
Habitat exploration at the deep seafloor
Staff members of the Senckenberg Crustacea Section are involved in mapping the seafloor in various marine regions. In the past, many assumptions have been made about the structure and diversity of the seafloor in the deep sea. Especially in the abyssal, it is assumed that quite homogeneous and sediment covered plains make up the major part. These are divided into basins by mountain ridges and the continental slopes and deep-sea trenches. But basically it must be said that only a very small part of them has been explored in detail.
Only recently, a study was published as part of the KuramBio II project, which remeasured the depth of the Kurile-Kamchatka trench. Our Frankfurt researchers worked together with colleagues from the Senckenberg DZMB, the Alfred Wegener Institute and the HafenCity University Hamburg.
In cooperation with GEOMAR, our Crustacean researchers are also developing a novel method of remote sensing to distinguish between different seabed types with the help of remote sensing. This will make it possible in the future to make precise assumptions about different habitats at depths of over 5000 m.
Microplastics in the deep sea
In addition to organismic research and habitat exploration, staff of the Crustacea Section are investigating the importance of hadal marine zones (all marine areas deeper than 6500 m) for the long-term fate of microplastics in the sea. Following on from KuramBio II, microplastics from the sediments of the Kuril Kamchatka Trench (Northwest Pacific) will be identified in cooperation with the Alfred Wegener Institute. The Deep-MiPoll project is thus one of the first to address the problem of increasing pollution of the deepest marine areas.
In the Crustacea section we mainly study decapods. These are animals that the non-specialist will easily classify as crustaceans.

According to sources close to Apple, the US tech giant will soon introduce an updated line of its high-end Mac Pro desktop computers.
The update will solve several important problems for Apple – first, the current generation of Mac Pro computers does not meet European regulations and hence cannot be sold in the European Union; second – it features outdated processors and video cards and needs a refresh.
So the new generation of Mac Pro desktops is expected sometime this spring. It will be based on Intel's upcoming Xeon E-series and W-series processors based on Ivy Bridge-EP cores. Furthermore the new Mac Pro machines will house the latest graphics solutions by both AMD and NVIDIA.
There's a small problem with the new Mac Pro generation though – as the Intel Ivy Bridge-EP cores are expected in Q3 2013 this could mean that the new generation of Mac Pro computers may get delayed but this remains to be seen.

Home » Once Again, the ITC Finishes the Year with a Flurry of New Complaints
By Adam Hess on January 10, 2022 Posted in International Trade Commission, ITC Section 337, Patents
In January 2021, I noted that the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) saw a flurry of new complaints filed in the second half of 2020, particularly in November and December. See here. A similar pattern emerged at the end of 2021, culminating with eight Section 337 complaints filed between December 15 – 31, 2021.
Section 337 Investigations at the ITC
The ITC is a federal administrative agency in Washington, DC with broad powers under 19 U.S.C. § 1337 ("Section 337") to investigate and address unfair acts and unfair competition in the importation of articles into the United States. Most Section 337 investigations address issues of patent infringement, but Section 337 investigations can also address infringement of other statutory intellectual property (trademarks, copyrights, etc.) and other unfair acts such as misappropriation of trade secrets, false advertising, breach of contract, and antitrust violations. In comparison to litigating in U.S. District Court, pursuing a patent infringement claim at the ITC provides several advantages for patent owners, including faster resolution on the merits due to statutory requirements, the ability to include unrelated infringers in one matter, the limited availability of counterclaims, results that are less likely to be reversed on appeal, and the powerful remedy of an Exclusion Order prohibiting the entry into the United States of infringing articles.
The Year 2021 was Another Busy Year at the ITC
Despite its effectiveness as a forum for patent owners, the ITC receives a limited number of complaints compared to the U.S. District Courts, mostly due to its jurisdictional requirements — in addition to proving infringement, a patent owner also must show (a) importation of an article associated with the infringement and (b) the existence of a "domestic industry" relating to articles that practice the patent. Over the past 10 years, the ITC has averaged fewer than 50 new complaints per year.
By comparison, 2020 was a busy year at the ITC with 57 new complaints and 10 complaints for ancillary proceedings. This pace continued in 2021, with more than 50 new complaints and 19 complaints for ancillary proceedings, culminating with 14 complaints in November and December – unfortunate holiday gifts for the respondents. Filing complaints at the end of the year provides Complainants with tactical advantage. The ITC procedural rules provide that Respondents must file a detailed response to a complaint within 20 days of the ITC instituting an investigation. See 19 CFR § 210.13. In view of the limited time for Respondents to prepare a response, complaints filed in November and December force Respondents to spend time over the holidays preparing for the investigation.
The Future of Section 337 Investigations at the ITC
IP owners continue to demonstrate confidence in the ITC's fast, reliable, and accurate resolution of IP disputes. Many IP owners are facing more competition from infringing imported products and are looking ways to maintain and grow their position in the market. The busy pace of new complaints filed in 2021 suggests that the ITC will continue to be an important tool for IP owners seeking to use their IP rights to protect their market share. We can expect this trend to continue for years to come.

It may seem difficult to play the casino game of online blackjack but when you know the rules, strategies, card values and all the other ways of how to play blackjack it becomes easier to play. Our how to play blackjack will help you know how to play the game then you can sign up with any of the US casinos listed here to play the game.
For anyone who is interested in playing blackjack, first, you have to identify an online casino that has the kind of variation of blackjack that you are interested in playing. Whether it be for real money or fun, choose to play at a casino that is safe and regulated. There are US casinos that offer a great bonus that are redeemable on the blackjack tables.
Once you have registered at the casino, you will be able to play blackjack online as per our guide below.
The main objective of playing online blackjack is to have a hand that is close to 21. It played against the dealer. The value of the hand is determined by adding the values of the cards.
When playing the game of blackjack online, eight card decks will be used, and the decks will have 52 cards. The cards have values, and the joker is not included when playing online blackjack. The Ace has the value of 1 or 11. 2 until ten are valued at face value while the J, Q and K are counted as 10.
The online blackjack table is set out in a simple way and understanding how it is laid out will help you better understand how the game it is played. Each table will be laid out for the specific variation that you will be playing. You will see on the table that there will be a place indicated for a minimum and maximum bet. There will also be a payout of the variation of Blackjack, insurance bets. Players will place bets on the circle that is opposite where the cards for the dealer will be.
A hard hand happens when you have an ace card that is valued at 1. If you also don't have an ace for your hand, then it is considered to be a hard hand. When using a basic blackjack strategy, you can use any of the options we are suggesting.
If you have a hand that is a hard 11 or it is lower, then you can either double down or hit.
When you have a hand that has an ace together with an 8 or nine, it is a soft 19 or 20. With this hand, your option is to stand.
Should you have a soft hand that is 17 or less, you can either double down or hit.
If you have a hand that has an ace and 7, it is a soft 18. Your decision here will be based on how the dealer shows his cards, the number of decks of cards being used and the rules the dealer will use to play his cards. So, your option could anything from standing, hitting or even doubling down.
Busting in blackjack means that you have a hand that is higher than 21 which result in a loss. Should you bust before the dealer has to draw his second card, it is still considered a bust. When the dealer busts then you will win and be paid out.
When you want to hit in blackjack, you will point at your cards, and the dealer will deal a card for you. This option is done when your current is not close to 21, and you are attempting to get it to be close. You can hit as many times as you want as long as your hand doesn't go over 21.
When you are dealt two similar cards and these are when you can choose to split the cards and have two separate hands to play. You will have to place bets for the second hand as well, and the dealer will deal a second hand for both hands.
When you choose to stand when playing blackjack online, it means that you are sticking to the cards that you have been dealt. This mostly happens when you have a hand that has a probability of winning or busting. The dealer has to stand on a hand that is 17 or more.
If you have a hard 9 and the dealer reveals a card that is below seven excluding the ace, you can double down.
When you have a soft 16 to 18, and the dealer reveals a card that is 6 and lower excluding the ace, then you can double down.
If you have a hand that is hard at 10 or even 11 excluding the ace and the dealer has a total hand that is lower than yours, then you can double down.
Surrendering in blackjack means that you have evaluated your chances of winning once the cards have been dealt for you and the dealer and your chances of winning are less than 25%. When you choose to surrender the dealer will discard your cards and take 50% of your wager.
An insurance bet is when you as a player makes a side bet that the dealer will win. You can use half your bet. The best time to make the insurance is when the dealer has an ace as the upcard. Should he get a 10, j, q or k on his second card then it is blackjack, and you win with your insurance bet. The insurance bet pays 2:1.
There are strategies that you can use to improve your winning chances; however, they do not guarantee you a win. Always use blackjack strategies that you fully understand how they work especially when you are playing blackjack for real money.

From a very young age Bill Wharton, of Centreville, knew he loved music, but not just any kind of music. It wasn't the music of Patti Page, The Mills Brothers and Percy Faith who were on the music charts of the early 1950s, but instead it was the church music and hymns of his local church and Broadway songs. In those days Bill was always beyond his years in his interests and abilities when it came to music and that continues today.
Bill Wharton is shown today with the Tellers organ console which has been digitized for more flexible playing such as transposing the musical key to meet the needs of the congregation, the choir and the soloist, as well as making it easier for guest organists to save their organ settings for their performances and the ability to record and playback.
Bill's parents recognized his abilities and allowed him to take piano lessons from Margaret Wolcott, the church organist at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Centreville. Because the organ was a logical progression from the piano and because Bill loved hymns and church music, Margaret encouraged Bill to take organ lessons at Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore beginning in his 10th grade year of high school. Something clicked.
During college, Bill worked part-time as an organist and helped with Sunday School and Choirs. In the summers, he also worked at Hartford's YMCA Camp Jewell, leading music and drama activities. It was during his college years that his love for the organ grew under the tutelage of renowned organist Clarence Waters. Waters had studied under the famous French organist, composer and teacher Marcel Dupré, who Bill later met in 1970 while in Paris. Upon finishing college, Bill decided to attend the School of Music of Northwestern University in Evanston, IL to get his graduate degree in Church Music, which also included organ, choral work, voice, harpsichord and conducting. It was here, while working as an organist at the Anglo-Catholic St. Andrew's Church in Chicago, that he became acquainted with liturgical congregational singing, something he still enjoys today.
When Bill returned home in 1967, he worked for his father's veterinarian practice. He had heard about a new Tellers organ being installed at St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Easton while he was away at school. He called Reverend Harold Davis, the pastor of St. Mark's at the time, and asked if he could see the organ. Reverend Davis said that the organ usually remained locked, but he allowed Bill to play it because of his experience. Within 30 minutes of hearing Bill's talent, Reverend Davis offered Bill the part-time job of church organist. Because the pay was low, Bill found a full-time job teaching music to 7th and 8th graders at Easton Middle School. After one year, he moved to teaching choral music to students in grades nine through 12 at Easton High School where he remained until 1976.
Bill Wharton is shown in 1973 with the Tellers organ at St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Easton.
By 1975, Bill decided to take a sabbatical from teaching to go full-time and get his Doctorate Degree from Catholic University in Washington, DC. This would be the first of two life changing sabbaticals in his career. His professor and mentor, Clarence Waters, played a recital at the National Shrine at Catholic University and introduced him to Conrad Bernier, the head of the Organ Music Department at Catholic University. He finished the doctorate in 1979, taking part-time classes while continuing to serve as St. Mark's organist and teaching in the Talbot Schools.
In 1977, Bill returned to work as an elementary school music teacher at Cordova and Tilghman Elementary Schools for three years before getting the full-time job in 1980 overseeing the Music Department at Chesapeake College in Wye Mills. He would stay there until retiring in 2003. Throughout this time, he continued his part-time job as the organist at St. Mark's.
When he returned from his travels, Bill played educational organ concerts in all five counties served by Chesapeake College, sharing his cultural experiences with his audiences. In addition, he added a world element to all his courses at Chesapeake College. His sabbatical opened doors for him to expand his musical offerings in the community even more, including St. Mark's music concerts which continue today with the support of the Talbot County Arts Council and other groups.
The church's memorial pipe organ is what initially attracted Bill to St. Mark's. The organ was built by the Tellers Company in Erie, PA specifically for the chancel at St. Mark's and contains nearly 2400 pipes of numerous lengths controlled by a console of manuals and pedals. According to Bill, the church has struggled with acoustical problems in the church since the organ's installation in 1962. By 2008, following Bill's 40th anniversary as organist at St. Mark's, the church had raised enough money to revoice or replace the reed pipes in the antiphonal and chancel parts of the organ and digitize and upgrade the main organ console.
By digitizing the main organ console in 2008, the organist can transpose the musical key to meet the needs of the congregation, the choir and the soloists. It also has made it easier for guest organists to use their own individual setups in playing the instrument more easily.
On Sunday, September 17, 2017, St. Mark's United Methodist Church will honor Dr. Bill Wharton with a musical celebration at the 11 a.m. service. The service is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend. A reception will be held afterwards in the church's Fellowship Hall.
