Q: Smallest set of couples in [n] stable by permutations I am dealing with the following problem :
I need to create the smallest possible set $\{(x_i,y_i) \in [n]^2, x_i\neq y_i\}$ for $n$ given, such that :
$\forall p \in \mathcal{S}_n, \exists i,j$ such that $p(x_i)=x_j$ and $p(y_i)=y_j$.
What I tried to do was, for a given set, express the number of permutations covered by all the couples, but then I need to pick the couples so that I will minimize the intersections between the $(n-2)!$ permutations each time.
Has this problem been encountered before, or would you have any idea on how I could find the optimal set ? Sorry if I'm not being clear, I already have problems expressing the problem simply. Thank you in advance !
Edit : An example, for $n=3$ : With the set {(1,2),(2,1),(3,2),(1,3)}, I can cover all the permutations :
$e$ : (1,2) is sent to (1,2)
$(12)$ : (1,2) is sent to (2,1)
$(13)$ : (1,2) is sent to (3,2)
$(23):$ (1,2) is sent to (1,3)
$(123)$ : (1,3) is sent to (2,1)
$(132)$ : (1,3) is sent to (3,2)
And this is actually the smallest cardinality I can have to verify the condition.

Hüsnü Doğan (* 1944 in Malatya) ist ein türkischer Politiker der Mutterlandspartei ANAP (Anavatan Partisi), der unter anderem zwischen 1983 und 1989 Minister für Landwirtschaft, Forsten und dörfliche Angelegenheiten, von 1990 bis 1991 Verteidigungsminister sowie 1996 für einige Monate Minister für Energie und natürliche Ressourcen war.

Leben
Doğan begann nach dem Besuch des Gymnasiums Malatya (Malatya Lisesi) ein Studium im Fach Bauingenieurwesen an der Technischen Universität des Nahen Ostens ODTÜ (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi) in Ankara, das er 1969 abschloss. Er wurde im Anschluss Forscher im Staatlichen Planungsamt DPT (Devlet Planlama Teşkilatı), dessen Direktor Turgut Özal er bereits während dessen Lehrtätigkeit an der ODTÜ kennengelernt hatte und der wie er aus Malatya stammte. Er war im Anschluss Leiter der Abteilung Auslandskapital des DPT sowie Sonderberater des Landwirtschaftsministeriums, in dem er später Koordinator für Forschungsplanung sowie Generaldirektor wurde. Nach einer Tätigkeit als Koordinator in der Automobilindustrie wurde er 1980 von dem nunmehr für Wirtschaft zuständigen Vize-Ministerpräsidenten Özal zum Vorsitzenden des Rates für Auslandskapital YSK (Yabancı Sermaye Kurulu) ernannt und bekleidete dieses Amt bis 1983.

1983 gehörte Doğan zu den Mitgründern der Mutterlandspartei ANAP und war einer der Verfasser des Grundsatzprogramms der Partei. Er wurde am 13. Dezember 1983 von Ministerpräsident Turgut Özal zum Minister für Landwirtschaft, Forsten und dörfliche Angelegenheiten (Tarım Orman ve Köyişleri Bakanı)	in dessen erstes Kabinett berufen. Dieses Ministeramt bekleidete er bis zu seiner Ablösung durch Lütfullah Kayalar auch im zweiten Kabinett Özal. Bei einer Nachwahl 1986 wurde er für die ANAP erstmals in die Große Nationalversammlung gewählt und vertrat dort zunächst Istanbul.

Bei der Parlamentswahl vom 29. Oktober 1989 wurde Doğan für Izmir in die Große Nationalversammlung gewählt und fungierte zwischen dem 9. November 1989 und dem 28. Oktober 1990 zunächst als Staatsminister (Devlet Bakanı) im Kabinett von Ministerpräsident Yıldırım Akbulut. Im Zuge einer Kabinettsumbildung war er im Anschluss als Nachfolger von Safa Giray vom 28. Oktober 1990 bis zu seiner Ablösung durch Mehmet Yazar am 1. März 1991 Verteidigungsminister (Milli Savunma Bakanı) in dieser Regierung. In seine Amtszeit als Verteidigungsminister fiel der Zweite Golfkrieg. Bei der Parlamentswahl vom 20. Oktober 1991 wurde er abermals zum Mitglied der Großen Nationalversammlung gewählt, in der er nach seiner Wiederwahl am 24. Dezember 1995 nunmehr bis zum 18. April 1999 wieder die Interessen von Istanbul vertrat.

1991 bewarb sich Doğan für die Funktion des Vorsitzenden der ANAP in Istanbul, unterlag allerdings der Ehefrau Özals, Semra Özal. Kurz darauf trat er 1991 aus Protest gegen den politischen Kurs von Ministerpräsident Mesut Yılmaz aus der ANAP aus und gründete am 7. Oktober 1993 gemeinsam mit Yusuf Bozkurt Özal, einem Bruder Özals, die Neue Partei YP (Yeni Parti) und wurde deren stellvertretender Vorsitzender. Später trat er jedoch aus dieser aus und wurde abermals Mitglied der ANAP. Im zweiten Kabinett von Ministerpräsident Mesut Yılmaz bekleidete er schließlich vom 6. März bis 28. Juni 1996 das Amt des Ministers für Energie und natürliche Ressourcen (Enerji ve Tabii Kaynaklar Bakanı).

Doğan ist verheiratet und Vater eines Kindes.

How many times have you told your ebullient child he's too loud or too active? How often have you told your contemplative, cautious child not to be a scaredy-cat and so shy?
In subtle ways, you are giving your child, when is expressing his or her unique temperament, the message that he's not good enough. He will get the same messages at school, at church or temple, and from the media. By the time your child is an adult, he will have learned how not to follow the beat of his own drummer and how not to be himself. He will have learned exactly how to act in order to get the approval of others.
If you think that's not much a problem for a child, wait till she grows up and marries someone she thinks she should marry, works in a job she hates because it's expected of her, gets in debt buying a house or car that makes her seem more successful than she really is, or is on a perpetual diet and hates her body because women are supposed to be rail thin.
· Be there for him. Let your child have his true feelings–sadness or fear, for example. Show him with your support, reassurance, and presence that it's okay to have emotions, and that you'll stay with him through all those feelings, without judging.
· Teach her not to personalize rejection. If someone tells her she's ugly or too brainy, for example, remind her that someone else's words aren't the truth. The truth is that she's fine–just the way she is.
· Teach him not to worry what other people think. If he's afraid to take chorus at school for fear of being teased, or cuts class with his friends to be part of the "cool" crowd, help him understand that following others opinions won't help him be happy.
· Encourage her individuality. If your child wants to wear a pink tutu to church and it embarrasses you, consider the message you might be giving her about being an individual and expressing herself. Unless it's an act that could harm your child, try to allow her to be and do what she needs in order to fully explore who she is.
· Show him he is loved–unconditionally. Remind your child dozens of times a day, in gestures, words, and acts, that you love him just the way he is. A child who learns that he really is good enough will grow into a confident, healthy, fulfilled adult.

I'm doing ok. Getting ready to go back to school next week. Can you believe that I already have assignments due the first day of classes?
I actually went through several hundered drafts of my letter and was actually one of the last to submit hers. But I wanted to make sure everything sounded intelligent. It's times like these when I hate being a perfectionist. However the flip side to being one is that I can easily catch those tiny little things that just sound like mindless fangirl squeeing. One thing that I found to be very helpful when working on a project like this is to brainstorm ideas as to what you would like to put in your letter. My list consists of such things as how I became interested in Doctor Who (given this is my first time writing him), what I loved most about Ten, as well as what I would love to see him do in the future. That's pretty much the same content I had in Victor's letter.

It was a dark time for the Church. The hierarchy had split and abandoned the truth. Money was stolen and the most cowardly acts were committed by over 90% of the bishops, including even the pope himself. God was mocked publicly and no one seemed to care. It was not only accepted to mock God, but expected. Hatred and self-centeredness ruled the day. The government was pressured by the people to get rid of God and anyone who believed in Him. Everyone who stayed close to God suffered. They had nothing, except their faith in Him. Despite all of this God was there… the whole time… in complete control of everything.
Then, on the third day, God rose from the dead. He gathered His hierarchy and renewed their faith and courage. He taught them and gave them the Holy Spirit. He promised He would always be with them.
We are now in a dark time, but the light has conquered the darkness and the darkness cannot overcome it. Jesus is here… with us… now… in complete control of everything… only allowing evil if it is for our greater good. His Church is here too, His bride. The gates of Hell will not withstand against her. We are to stay close to Jesus, by His cross, and suffer for Him.


We are delighted to announce that RaPAL will be part of the newly formed European Network of National Literacy Organisations (ELINET). This umbrella organisation has been formed following recommendations in the 2012 Report of the European High Level Expert Group on Literacy (EHLG) and aims to gather evidence on literacies policies; facilitate the exchange of expertise and good practice; and support organisations in campaigning to raise awareness of the importance of literacy across a range of policy areas.
There are 80 European organisations involved to varying degrees, with a number from the UK. Work streams will include adult literacy, early childhood & primary schools (including family literacy) and adolescents. We hope that with RaPAL members' particular focus on literacies research and practice that we will have much to offer and this will open up opportunities for RaPAL members and establish new working links across Europe. More details will follow for members in due course.
From the 24th until the 27th of February, 80 organisations from 28 countries mark the start of the European Literacy Policy Network (ELINET) in Vienna, Austria. One in five European 15 year olds, as well as nearly 75 million adults, lack basic reading and writing skills, which makes it hard for them to get a job, and increases their risk of poverty and social exclusion. H.R.H. Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands will launch the network to prevent and reduce illiteracy in Europe. Furthermore, Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth will elucidate this major new step in a special video message.
In 2011 the European Commission established a High Level Group of experts in the field of literacy. This group examined how to support literacy throughout lifelong learning, identified common success factors of literacy programmes and policy initiatives, and came up with proposals for improving literacy. Following the work of the Group, the European Commission initiated a network to raise awareness, gather and analyse policy information, and exchange policy approaches, good practices, and initiatives to reduce the number of children, young people and adults with low literacy skills by 2020.
The launch of the network is organized by the network´s Coordinator, the University of Cologne (Prof. Dr. Christine Garbe, Martin Gross), in cooperation with the Austrian Book Club in Vienna. The official opening will be at the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Research. The 80 partner organisations from 28 countries (of which 24 are EU Member States) consist of existing national literacy associations and foundations, policymakers, literacy centres, and other stakeholder groups working in the field.
I am here in Vienna representing RaPAL at the launch of ELiNET. To open the event, we heard speeches from various people; the network coordinator, representatives from the High Level European Literacy Group and HRH Princess Laurentien of The Netherlands, along with an Austrian minister and the Book Club in Vienna, who are hosting this event. This was followed by speed dating between representatives from the 79 network member organisations (from 28 countries!) and team leaders from the 8 main areas that the network will focus on, one of which is adult literacy. It has been a long and full day and I have lots to report back to members about how we can participate in and contribute to the project! I will post again soon.

Opened 2014 – Currently offering classes from Early Learning (3 years of age) to Year 2. Additional year levels to open annually.
Imagine a campus uniquely and specifically designed for the conceptual age. Imagine a curriculum that is grounded in 21st-century thinking, where all facets of education are connected and interlinked, and where education effectively encompasses a strong Christian world view. At Rivercrest Christian College, technology is integrated into the framework of the curriculum. Learning experiences are designed to promote critical and creative thinking. Our students will graduate as life-long learners, equipped to play their role in the local and global community. The Rivercrest curriculum will match that of internationally validated inquiry based curricula. Such programs will be on offer at Junior (ELC-Year 5), Middle (Year 6-10) and Senior levels (Year 11-12).
Facilities: All learning spaces have been carefully designed to enhance and stimulate learning. The spaces are intended to inspire engagement by creating an environment conducive to learning, discovering and exploring. All buildings are eco-sensitive, with optimal use made of natural light. Furniture too has been chosen to make learning spaces versatile and complementary to learning. The selected use of colours is intended to evoke an ecological theme and create synergy between the indoor and outdoor learning spaces. The playscapes for students are purpose-designed, so that there is interplay between the natural environment and the learning areas. The bespoke play areas are landscaped so that the native vegetation complements the undulating landform.
Curriculum: Rivercrest Christian College is a candidate school for the Primary Years Programme and is pursuing authorisation as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy – a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that Rivercrest Christian College believes is important for our students. In pursuing such authorisation, Rivercrest supports the mission statement of the International Baccalaureate (IB), which aims to develop inquiry, knowledgeable and caring young people who help top create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
The aim of the PYP is to create a transdisciplinary curriculum that is engaging, relevant, challenging and significant for all learners. Rivercrest College embraces an inquiry approach to learning within the context of a Christian worldview. Our vision is that we will be a leading provider of quality Christian education delivered by Christian staff, ensuring the Gospel message is an integral part of all we do.
Sport: All students enrolled at Rivercrest are placed into one of four Houses: Booth (Blue), Luther (Red), Fry (Yellow) or Lewis (Green). At many schools, the Houses are named after well-known people, Australian native animals, plants or some other theme. Rivercrest decided to name its Houses after four Christians who made a significant contribution to society.
Student Welfare Programs: Rivercrest has a Chaplain who works with classes, small groups and individuals to develop spiritual and emotional wellbeing. There is also a Pastoral Care Co-ordinator who supports student development. Personal and social learning is strongly embedded throughout the curriculum. Rivercrest has adopted the 'Alannah and Madeline Foundation's Buddy Program'.
Enrolment Should you wish to proceed with an enquiry; an interview with a member of the College leadership will be arranged. To schedule an interview please contact the college Registrar. At this meeting the college ethos, facilities and programs will be discussed in detail. The student enrolling will be interviewed and their latest academic report discussed if appropriate. Once an interview has taken place and all information gathered, a position may be offered to the student.


A new clutch solution was needed for use on the lifeboat davits aboard U.S. navy destroyers. The clutches are used on the davit winch drives to provide an optional manual drive to the normal powered drive system which smoothly raises and lowers the lifeboats. The existing clutches were failing during routine manual operational checks causing the lifeboats to free fall to water level.
Formsprag Clutch engineers worked closely with the davit gearbox OEM and a naval architect to develop a modified FL-52A Form-Lock bi-directional clutch to meet the stringent naval standards. The unique FL solution featured a custom housing, bearing arrangement and monitoring interface. Navy standards also required the use of a special coating to withstand the corrosive effects of the salt water environment.
Positioned between the davit gearbox and a hand crank, the Form-Lock is a mechanical clutch that can be driven in both directions while automatically providing a holding brake function when the driving torque is stopped. The FL-52A clutches supplied feature a torque rating of 400 in.lb. (45 Nm).

Previous articles in this series went through the first four chakras (energy centers) and the way in which Yoga can calm the emotional and physical stress that can act as barriers to financial wellness. Now it is time to discuss how balancing the throat chakra (vissudha) can help with making a will and communicating its contents to family members.
The throat chakra is involved purely with mental and spiritual energy. Ancient yogis believed that it channeled the vibration of creation. The more balanced this energy center, the clearer our thoughts and communications. When people's throat chakras are too active, others find them poor listeners—because the imbalance produces a constant flow of talk with none of the pauses that allow true back and forth sharing of thought. Those with a weak, inactive throat chakra have difficulty voicing their needs and thoughts. They may simply choose to withdraw and become isolated, or they may bottle everything up until it bursts forth with an anger disproportionate to the interaction that triggered it.
The Yoga postures (asanas) that help balance the throat chakra are designed to develop acceptance and release.
The seated leg-raise of the pavana-mukta-asana (wind release) literally refers to the fact that it releases the pressure and pain caused by intestinal gas. The shava-asana (corpse) sounds less scary by its other name, yoga nidra (yogic sleep). This deeply relaxing pose simply involves lying on the back with upturned palms and breathing normally. Both postures foster the harmonious energy flow required for open, loving conversation.
When this chakra is balanced, life becomes much easier because communication is so clear. Conversation becomes a pleasure, and even conflict is not a problem, simply an opportunity to discover how different sets of needs can be best met for all concerned. Balance creates fearless sharing in both directions. It removes the shame that prevents many people saying, "I'd love to spend time with you, but let's do it a coffee house, or take a walk, because my budget doesn't allow me to go out to fancy restaurant except on very special occasions." Stifle too many of these conversations and the credit card debt goes up while savings remain a distant dream. Balance gives spouses the courage to talk about money, and it gives them the ears to hear what their partners are saying.
Do you belong to the majority of Canadians who don't have a legally valid will? One of the most dreaded and therefore avoided financial issues is the will. People don't enjoy contemplating their own demise or that of a loved one, whether parent, child, or spouse. It's a tough conversation, in either direction. Ask a loved one if they have a will and you risk sounding like a gold-digger. Bring up the topic of your own will with children or a spouse and they become visibly upset.
* "I don't have any money—there's no reason to bother." Even if this is true, the circumstances of your death may create an estate if it is the fault of another party, such as an employer, drunk or inattentive driver, hospital, etc.
* "I'm married. My spouse will get everything." Not necessarily true. Laws vary from province to province and country to country. Children or even former spouses may be entitled to make a claim.
In Ontario, the surviving offspring (legitimate and illegitimate) and spouse share the estate if someone dies without a valid will. It can get much more complicated if the existing will is an old one, but new property and equity have been acquired since the will was made. In some cases, the named beneficiary is an ex-spouse, eliminating a current spouse and any children born after the will was made. The resulting legal fees from the lawsuits quickly eat up the estate's worth.
Anyone 18 or older should have a valid will. It is the easiest and kindest way to inform your loved ones how you want possessions, investments, and property divided. There are kit wills and online wills that will suffice for someone with an uncomplicated estate who does not have a spouse or any children. Otherwise—think of those who will survive you and get the help of a lawyer. If your estate is complicated, see a lawyer who specializes in estate planning. It can save your loved ones a great deal of emotional distress and money.
* A list of assets and how they will be divided—a lawyer can clarify if unnamed survivors may have legal claims on the estate. Special bequests (like who gets mom's wedding ring) should also be written out.
* A named executor to oversee the sale of assets, pay any outstanding debts, and then divide the estate among the beneficiaries. Ideally, the executor lives in the same province and is not an immediate family member.
* A named guardian(s) to care for any minor children. Most people first list their spouse and then another trusted person(s) in case both parents die at the same time.
It is suggested that a will be updated every five years or in the event of a new relationship. In Ontario, a spouse is defined as someone you have co-habited with for a year—this relationship invalidates a pre-existing will.
Some advance planning and professional help is always a good idea. Have the necessary conversations both before and after drafting your will. Perhaps one child loves the cottage but isn't interested in the family home? What if one spouse is deeply religious and the other is not, when it comes to a funeral ceremony? Create a Living Will and tell those close to you what your wishes are—it may not carry legal weight, but it will clearly indicate the type of care and intervention you prefer at end of life. These tough conversations can prevent devastating family rifts. Your will is one of your last communications to the people you love—take the time and care to make sure that it is a clear one.

About Rukhsana Khan Foundation – Copied from https://www.rukhsanakhanfoundation.org/
RKF was founded in late 2012 by Jahangir Khan in memory of his mother, Rukhsana, who passed away from terminal cancer. Having grown up in north east London to two hard-working parents who sometimes struggled to put food on the table, reports that local people were facing food insecurity spoke to Jahangir.
His mother had always preached that if good comes to you, you should reach out and share your success with others. Jahangir decided that the perfect way to celebrate the life of his mother was to launch the Rukhsana Khan Foundation with the mission to help local families access food.
The first initiative of the organisation was to launch Walthamstow's first food bank in 2013, but the foundation also plans to launch summer lunch clubs for local children and breakfast clubs for the elderly and vulnerable. You can help us launch these programmes by making a donation today.
Donate on Just Giving
RKF's food bank is the first food bank in Walthamstow. They serve clients who are disabled, out of work, refugees, or are referred to us by local charities. You can help make a difference in the lives of local/vulnerable people by donating to the food bank today.

Goals of the alt-white: Officials urge funding avalanche safeguards, defining Store Norske's future in revised 'white paper'
By Mark Sabbatini on November 23, 2016
Build a wall – or at least a few barriers – to prevent unwanted intrusions. Give the coal mining industry a new life. Embrace the Russians while seeking solutions for dangerous territory.
No, Svalbard likely won't look like Donald Trump's American, but the proposals were part of the revised "white paper" for Svalbard debated by Parliament on Tuesday. The document outlining policy goals for Svalbard is being updated three years earlier than expected due to a coal price crisis that has shut down nearly all Norwegian operations here.
Power hungry: 20 witnesses detail Svalbard's future needs during Parliament hearing on revised 'white paper'
By Mark Sabbatini on October 5, 2016
It's a long wish list and not exactly new, but now it's officially on the agenda of the deciders.
An underwater power cable from the mainland, revised air traffic regulations, speeding up development of the fishing industry, investing heavily in infrastructure and figuring out what to do with Store Norske were among the many items presented by 20 witnesses last week during a hearing by Parliament's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
Power plugged: Proposals from solar panels to extension cable to the mainland debated as alternatives to coal
By Mark Sabbatini on September 5, 2016
Reality check: Longyearbyen isn't going to stop burning coal for power during the next year. Or ten. Or maybe even the 25 that represents the existing power plant's life expectancy.
But a lot of hot air is being generated by those wondering what's eventually next.
Plugging in a long extension cable to the mainland? An underground hot tub gathering to stay warm? Having folks apply liberal amounts of sun screens?
'White' out: Government's new blueprint for Svalbard does little to alter natural transition into post-mining society
By Mark Sabbatini on May 11, 2016
There's no magical "big" solution, no major new goals not already stated and – aside from 10 million kroner for infrastructure related to the Dec. 19 avalanche – no new hardcore funding commitments.
The long-awaited revision of the "Svalbard Message" – a "white paper" outlining the Norwegian's policy goals for the archipelago – largely refers to commitments already made to keep coal mining on life support for the next few years while encouraging an expansion of both the size and diversity of private industries, plus an expansion of education and research activities.

YES Announces Multi-Act "The Royal Affair Tour" In North America

WPVC-LP was a Progressive Talk Radio and Electronic Dance Music formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Charlottesville, Virginia, serving Charlottesville and Albemarle County in Virginia. WPVC-LP was owned and operated by Promise Land Communications.

Sign off
On June 17, 2020, the station ceased broadcasting. Promise Land Communications cited in a Facebook post "the ongoing legal challenge...by the out of state giant Saga Communications". In late 2019, Saga accused Promise Land, along with four other Charlotteville area low-power FM stations, of operating as a "de facto cluster". Saga owns six stations in the Charlottesville market. Saga has accused low-power stations of licensure violations in the past.

On June 16, 2020, station president Jeffrey Lenert turned in the license for deletion stating "As a result of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic and recent increased costs of station ownership and operation, it has become impossible to operate station WPVC-LP in the manner that I wish." The station's license was deleted and its pending renewal dismissed on July 7 of the same year.

3-pointers: Takeaways from Rockets' win over Heat

Takeaways from the Rockets' 117-108 win against the Miami Heat:
Had the Rockets truly felt the need to avenge the embarrassing blowout in Miami, they likely would not have let up with a 25-point lead. Better that they could build that sort of margin than believe making it last would erase one bad memory.
The Rockets had more pressing needs than to concern themselves with a game played weeks earlier. They had addressed those issues before they made things difficult for themselves on Wednesday. But they did what was needed most.
The Rockets snapped their losing streak at three games and did it by doing many of the things they had been doing poorly very well, at least very well for three quarters.
They did not make that last. They did not match Miami's blowout with one of their own. But if their greatest concern is how they handle 25-point leads they could probably live with that.
1. The Rockets really were not displeased with how they have been handling the non-stop double teams of James Harden. They shot badly on Sunday, but getting good shots for good shooters is the idea of most offenses.
The Rockets counted 51 times the Mavericks double-teamed Harden, which is a staggering number. They believed they got 45 good shots on those possessions.
That was good execution. Wednesday was better, or at least it was the sort of execution that could be more successful to work in the long run.
Russell Westbrook seemed determined to attack off the dribble. He often caught passes from Harden already on the move, heading to the rim. Westbrook took just one 3-pointer in the second half against the Mavericks. He attempted one in the first half against the Heat, one in the second half.
He still did not seem entirely sharp. Though Westbrook had 27 points with nine rebounds and seven assists, he also had nine turnovers. Still, if he attacks defenses the way he did on Wednesday, generally good things will happen. He might even get teams to back off the Harden traps.
If he does not, Danuel House Jr. might. It is generally wrong to draw conclusions from someone's career-high scoring game, as if that will happen every night. But House did not seem to do anything he cannot do regularly. He made 4 of 8 3-pointers on his way to 23 points.
That's a very good percentage, but it's not very different from his 44.4 percent 3-point shooting this season. Give him those sorts of good looks, he should be able to knock down nearly three per game. He averages 3.1 3-pointers per 36 minutes. Considering that he is also effective at attacking closeouts, three 3-pointers ought to be enough to punish defenses.
The Rockets still miss Eric Gordon badly. Ben McLemore's shooting slump continued. He, Austin Rivers, Thabo Sefolosha and Westbrook are all on the wrong side of 30 percent 3-point shooting. But if Harden and Westbrook continue to create the kind of quality shots they have lately, including against the traps, the Rockets should have enough offense.
They'll see those traps, and everything else coaches can come up with to deal with Harden, often. They seem to be getting better at dealing with them.

2. Gary Clark was ready. He had waited. He had gone back and forth on the RGV shuttle. He knew what needed to be done.
The trick will be to do it again, and to do it regularly.
The Rockets desperately needed something off the bench. When Clark checked in to start the second quarter, having played in just four of the Rockets' first 17 games, the Rockets bench had combined to score zero points. But that was not why Clark got his chance. He would have played had the bench been scoring.
With Clint Capela out and the Heat using range shooting big man Kelly Olynyk off the bench, the Rockets wanted to go small, playing Clark and P.J. Tucker together in the first half. Clark rewarded them, giving an immediate jolt and finishing with 12 points and eight rebounds in 29 minutes.
He needed less than three minutes to have season highs for points (five), rebounds (four) and assists (one.) That indicated how rarely he had played this season and then only at bench-clearing time.
The Rockets, however, need help off the bench. Their reserves are last in scoring in the NBA and Gordon is not due back for almost a month. Clark has always looked like a guy that can knock down open shots.
With the Rockets, as opposed to his G League appearances in which he has made just 36.4 percent of his shots, he can just play a role, working off Harden or Westbrook. He need only to catch-and-shoot on one end, defend and rebound with energy on the other.
Even when Capela returns, the Rockets like using their small lineups. That tends to pile too many minutes on Tucker. Clark can continue to get minutes. He had already shown he can do what he did on Wednesday. Now, if given the opportunity, he needs to demonstrate he can do it regularly. It looks like he'll get that chance.
3. Discussions about the Rockets still seems to gravitate to the offensive end, to how Harden and Westbrook are meshing, how Harden gets his shots against defenses twisted in knots around him, to the shooting around the stars, especially off the shorthanded bench.
That all seems to miss the point. The Rockets offense is still one of the league's best. It slipped a bit lately and still is third in scoring, seventh in defensive rating. It will keep getting better.
The Rockets' eight-game winning streak, three-game losing streak and Wednesday's good and bad times all seem to show that they are as good as their defense will allow them to be.
When the defense was very good for three quarters, the Rockets led by as much as 25. The Heat came in as the best-shooting team in the NBA. For three quarters, the Heat made just 37.9 percent of their shots. When the Rockets let up, the Heat made 68.2 percent of their shots in the fourth quarter, scoring 40 points to make the Rockets sweat a bit.
The same can be said for the winning streak and the losing streak that followed.
In the eight-game winning streak that began immediately following the loss in Miami, the Rockets were allowing 100.1 points per 100 possessions to rank second in the NBA defensively in that stretch.
The Rockets' defensive rating in the three-game losing streak of 115.9 ranked 24th.
They can steal wins even when giving up that many points, but they will not beat playoff teams, the sort they faced when they lost to the Nuggets, Clippers and Mavericks, regularly that way.
When the Rockets defend well, not only do they generally have enough offense, their defense makes their offense better. They play with greater pace. Westbrook gets up the floor rapidly and attacks. Harden can get possessions that are not against defenses locked in to surround him. The Rockets can get a pretty good fast break going.
That all starts on the defensive end, even if that is not as interesting a topic of conversation.

Multi-talented musician Hilton Schilder, 58 years old earlier this week, is, and always was, "hard-wired" for sound. Genetically, it's in his DNA. It's his pedigree.
Sometimes people are described as having learnt at the feet of the master. In Hilton's case that was true both literally and figuratively. As a toddler, he sat tucked beneath the keyboard in the family home while father, legendary jazzman Tony Schilder, tickled the ivories above.
The Schilder name is royalty in South African music, in particular, the jazz genre. Anyone growing up in Cape Town in the Sixties would have been entertained by pianists Richard or Tony, bassist Philly or drummer Jackie.
Hilton has inherited that legacy. It was ever going to be thus. Today, 55 years later, the three-year-old who played the drum brushes on a cardboard case at his father's feet is one of the country's most sought after musicians.
He has played the breadth of South Africa and extensively overseas and all this he has achieved with no formal training as a musician.
"But," he says without a hint of arrogance, " I come from the best university possible.
King of the keyboards, a study in concentration. Photo: Rashid Lombard.
"I had my uncles and my dad which was fantastic and the music they used to listen to. And the friends they had like Winston Mankunku, Gilbert Matthews . . . I grew up with all those guys.
There was always this constant stream of musicians coming to our house in Abbey Rd in Wynberg.
"So, I think I started playing instruments at the age of 3. That's when I decided I wanted to play music. That's what I wanted to do, music and art.
Hilton never really trained for anything else either. When he left school he worked briefly as a signwriter with an uncle.
His music career started with percussion and the late jazz drummer Monty Weber had a big role in it. "Monty was playing with my dad at the time and he gave me a set of brushes.
"I had a brown cardboard school case and I used to sit cross-legged at the feet of my father as he played the piano. I would be swishing the brushes on the case.
"I was playing on the drum kit with him when I was nine. Monty used to leave the kit at the house in Abbey Rd and when rehearsals were over, I would be on it.
Whilst he may have started with drums, the "piano was an ever presence all through my life".
"For me, there was nothing better than sitting at my dad's feet watching the drummer, watching the saxophone player. I would be at all those rehearsals, not knowing really that that I was learning.
Hilton's first group was with some school friends in an outfit called Airforce.
"We actually did original stuff. Just three-chord stuff, but it was original music. It was a rather short-lived experience. On the day of the concert, one of the musicians came there drunk. Not nice, we were just schoolkids and I was the youngest.
"We also had problems with badly tuned instruments. Fortunately, the piano pieces saved the day.
"Soon after that my dad asked me to come with him one night. He was playing with the Four Sounds with Cliffie and Basil Moses, Billie Dollie, Mike Josephs and Frank Williams.
"They were playing at the Kensington Lounge at the time. Man, that cigarette small, that atmosphere . . . I was addicted.
"That's when I started taking the music seriously. But I didn't want to play piano. I was still totally intimidated by my dad and Chris and Richard. I thought 'no, I could never play like that'.
"They were encouraging me to play. But you know, with Schilder toppies: their word of encouragement is a big thing. When they give a compliment, it is a really big thing.
"I'm the same now. We expect people to be able to play. Richard was the teacher. He had patience and I learnt a lot from him about harmony.
"I preferred the lifestyle of the percussion, all macho like. The piano seemed like, not nerdy . . . I wanted to be like my dad, but it was a bit daunting for me. I used to think, 'I can't play like that'. And yet, I was drifting towards to it.
He left his dad's group to join Trevor Parker, Mac McKenzie, Alwyn Dyers, and Reuben Samuels in Big Daddy. It was around 1978 and he was still at school.
"My mom was not very happy. In fact, she really pissed off with it. She used to go on at me to 'get a job, get a proper job, something you can fall back on'.
As was the nature of the game back then, musicians chopped and changed bands as quickly as they changed chords. Over a few years Hilton found himself with Big Daddy, Love Supreme, Soft Landing, Mac and The Genuines and Soft Landing.
It was while he was in Big Daddy that Mac convinced him to play piano.
Around 1979-80 Hilton started hanging with guitarist Russell Herman and Tony Cedras who had formed a group called Estudio.
"That was another 'university' for me, an absolutely incredible university. Russell was one of the most talented musicians this country has produced and I was fortune to be part of Estudio.
"It kinda changed my life. I couldn't look jazz in the eye any more. There was such amazing music coming out of this country and it wasn't necessarily swing jazz, you know what I mean.
Thereafter Hilton formed African Dream with Brian Erasmus, Steven Erasmus, and Joe Fynn as the core. Tony Cedras and Jonathan Butler joined them later. They did a few memorable concerts but, says Hilton, the packed-out one at Joseph Stone was a "sensational event".
In the unrest period of the mid-Eighties while with The Genuines, their music reflected the times. They recorded stirring tunes like Die Struggle and Narrow Escape, which received popular acclaim but was banned from broadcast.
Hilton acknowledges that people associate him and his music with the jazz genre but he is uncomfortable with the tag.
"I wouldn't say it is incorrect. I would say it is a part of what I am," he says.
"When I say I am a jazzman I'm closing myself off to all the other avenues that I compose in because I compose using classical influences, folk music, Middle Eastern music. Calling me a jazz musician would limit me to a particular style.
"I grew up with mainstream jazz and I will always love that music. But you can't put me in a box and call me a jazz musician because I play rock as well.
His views on the rising stature of ghoema and its acceptance as an essentially Cape Town sound is pretty clear cut. "Ghoema can be seemingly simple, but you know how difficult it can be to play 'simple'.
"It is important to improvise over that simplicity without complicating. Now a lot of jazz ouens can't do that.
"Where is it now in terms of acceptance? All I can say is, I've experienced playing overseas to South Africans who weren't exactly enamoured of the sound when they were here. They go crazy when they hear that peculiar Cape Town sound. It reminds them of home.
"I've composed quite a few ghoema tunes on the Mr Mac and the Genuines album, there are a couple of real klopse tunes on it . . . Ek het 'n Bra, Groovy Groovy.
"Ghoema has garnered some respect among the locals but it is when you play it for the foreigners you just see how much appreciation there is for it.
"Madala Kunene, one of the forerunners of maskandi music – Durban style – plays it whole night and just speaks Zulu to the people. He has taken his folk music and made it to be respected South African music.
At the moment Hilton is playing with another multi-instrumentalist Marc Fransman (piano, sax, accordion, guitar) and Claude Cozens on drums.
He has at least 10 albums in his own name including three solo piano albums.
He recorded in Switzerland when he was based there with a group called Iconoclast. The band included trumpeter Alex van Heerden who died in 2009 aged 35.
"I regard Alex as a true soulmate when it comes to music. He came to stay with us when he was 19 years old. He was from Port Elizabeth. Robbie Jansen and I were playing there once and we heard his great trumpet playing.

At the back, Hilton Schilder, Issy Ariefdien (guitar), Chris Schilder (piano), Bernie Lawrence (bass), and Dudley Francke (drums).
Closer to home, Hilton speaks glowingly of the extended Schilder family, the career paths of his two children, and the similarities he sees in his grandson.
"There are four generations of the Schilder family active in music at the moment. Chris is still playing and he is nothing short of formidable. Eldred, Richard's son, is still playing. Then there are cousins doing gospel stuff.
"There is my dad's generation, my generation, my kids, Vaughan Ceasar (son of Richard who married Schilder).
"My kids didn't pursue a professional music career but my daughter, Duende, did lay down vocals for me on my new album. Duende, in flamenco means 'the feeling that you get from the music'.
"My son is into IT, a computer whiz. But he started playing guitar recently. I gave one of my guitars to him. They have the music in them. It's resting there.
"My uncle Richard was the only one who had any formal training. He was teacher as well. I taught myself to read. I'm not really good at it but if I was given something to work out, I can do it. I've got a good ear. I even play classical music, I can sit down and analyse it.
He has done research into family. His great-grandfather came to South Africa from Holland where he was part of the Sinti (gypsy) tribe (guitarist Django Reinhardt was from it too, he says).
Does bearing the Schilder name bring any pressure on him or Chris?
I wouldn't call it pressure, I would say it is a duty. You have to pass it on. You have to carry on. Like, you know, it gives me great pleasure when I see the grandson take to drums like a duck to water. I'm expecting things from him. I'm going to show him things.
Our talk turns to his penchant for playing "different" instruments, in particular the bows.
"They are not obscure instruments, it is just that people have not been exposed to them. I've been responsible for exposing people to these instruments for the past 35 years." (One bow he showed me is 20 years old).
He says the instrument maker, Ben Petersen, is "an absolute craftsman" who uses different kinds of woods that produces different tones.
"I have three favourite bows, each has a distinctive sound and using the mouth also changes the sound. In all, I play about 16 instruments including the cello, drums, percussion, flute.
When he talks about Cape Town music lovers being locked into listening to Seventies and Eighties pop hits played by the radios station and bands doing cover versions, he is loath to be over-critical.
"Bands make money doing that but that's not my inspiration," he says.
"I don't condemn anybody if you have to make a living but after a while you have to sit back and ask yourself 'what am I doing for music in my country. Am I going to carry on exploiting my people and keeping them down because that's what it is.
As a composer, Hilton says his mind is most productive when he lies in bed at night thinking.
"Now that I'm on the cannabis oil (he has had his brush with cancer), it puts me in a good frame of mind, it allows me to think clearly. I can also sit at the piano and give it a go.
In May last year, he had a big operation that almost blew his chances of providing the music for the stage adaptation of journalist Sylvia Vollenhoven's much acclaimed book , The Keeper of the Kumm. The book deals with the spiritual world of their African ancestors.
Sylvia Vollenhoven's top seller The Keeper of the Kumm, for which Hilton Schilder wrote the music for the stage adaptation.
"That was the third score I had done for a stage production. But it was touch and go, Sylvia was worried that I would not make it for the performances.
Hilton has a few projects on his plate these days. One is the Jazz Safari events he hosts at his home. Music lovers, mainly tourists, come to his place – sometimes up to 30 people – his wife cooks a slap-up feed and he lays on the music.
He is also putting the finishing touch on his latest album called Alter Native which should be out in the next few months.
"I have been doing Europe all the years. Now I want to get my foot in the door elsewhere. Doing the States is almost like a calling. People I know over there have been pleading with me to come over.
Hilton says his career as a musician is starting to pay off "but I can tell you, there have been hard times. My wife was working, so that was a saving grace. Still, we managed to put our kids through school and put food on the table.
If you want to catch Hilton's band, you could do yourself a favour and toddle off to Vernon Castle's new venue called My Piano in Rondebosch. Hilton's got a regular Sunday night gig there.
Incidentally, the first tune Hilton composed (when he was in matric) was called Have I Ever Let You Down and Vernon Castle recorded it.

Interesting read. Thank you for writing these stories Warren. Hilton is a musical genius.
Great research into Cape Town music royalty. I still relish an evening in Woodstock when Tony warmed up for a performance by running elegantly through Randy Weston's little-known Jazz waltz, "Little Niles." It was the only time I'd heard this composition played live ; yet Tony delivered it with such ease.


Remember that the dust produced in the course of wear of frictional slips may contain extremely unhealthy asbestos of the person! Do not blow off dust compressed air at all. Do not use for washing of components of coupling solvents on an oil basis - apply only a special cleaner to brake mechanisms or pure methyl alcohol. The used protirochny rags should be put in hermetically closed capacity.
In spite of the fact that some new frictional materials do not contain asbestos, during performing procedures of service of coupling it is necessary to make an assumption that asbestos in them nevertheless is available.
1. If the power unit is not removed from the car and not dismembered, access to assembly of coupling can is provided by dismantle of the transmission.
2. Before starting coupling dismantling, mark the landing provision of a basket of coupling on a flywheel with chalk or a marker.
3. Moving in a diagonal order, in stages (on a half-turn for approach) evenly weaken bolts of fastening of a basket to a flywheel so that the possibility of their reversing manually appeared.
... then remove a frictional disk. Try to remember the correct adjusting provision of a frictional disk.
In view of labor input of procedures of removal and installation of assembly it is usually accepted to make replacement of a frictional disk, a basket and the release bearing in a set even if only one of components is worn-out. Strictly speaking, it is reasonable to replace coupling assembly in a preventive order every time at dismantle of a box of transfers/engine.
2. Before performance of cleaning of components study the prevention at the beginning of the present Section. Working in well ventilated room, and it is better - in the open air, carefully clear components, having wiped them with the pure rags moistened in a special cleaner for components of brake mechanisms or methyl alcohol.
3. Estimate degree of wear of frictional slips, check them for existence of signs of mechanical damages or traces of oiling. In case of identification of cracks, traces of an overheat, deep scratches, oil spots or other defects the frictional disk is subject to replacement assembled. Manufacturers of cars (Skoda company) does not put forward frictional overlays of a clutch plate, any on extreme thickness. It is considered to be that heads of rivets have to be drowned below a surface of slips not less than on 3 mm.
4. If frictional slips are in working order, estimate degree of wear of shlits of a nave of a disk, check a state and durability of landing of the torsion springs and rivets. In case of detection of defects the disk is subject to replacement.
5. If frictional slips are polluted by oil, check a condition of the left epiploon of a bent shaft. Besides, the joint a case poddonka with the engine block, and also a main shaft of the transmission can be a source of leak of oil. Replace defective sealing components before starting installation of a new frictional disk.
6. Check assembly of a basket for existence of signs of mechanical damages. Shake press a disk, checking durability of landing of rivets. Make sure of lack of traces of an overheat of feedwells of fastening of a press disk to a basket. In case of identification of damages, signs of wear or weakening of the developed effort of a diaphragm spring replace assembly of a basket.
7. Check a condition of contact surfaces of a flywheel and a frictional disk - they have to be absolutely flat, pure and free from cavities, deep scratches and zadir. Minor defects it can be eliminated by processing of a surface with a fine-grained emery paper. In more serious cases replace a defective component.
8. Check freedom of rotation of the release bearing. Estimate a condition of its working surface. In case of detection of deep scratches, cavities, zadir and other damages replace the bearing.
1. At assembly make sure of serviceability of a condition of contact surfaces of a frictional disk and flywheel. From new components carefully remove preservative traces.
2. Grease vents of a frictional clutch plate with a thin layer of high-temperature lubricant like Kluber Microlube GL202, GL261 or GL262, or Mobil lithium 932 or 933. Try not to allow hits of lubricant on frictional slips. Remove excess of lubricant.
3. Establish a frictional disk by the sprung party of a nave from a flywheel aside. On some disks the special marking allowing to define by what party to a flywheel it should be established is provided.
4. Establish assembly of a basket of coupling. At installation of an old basket track combination of the landing tags put in the course of dismantle. Screw fixing bolts and tighten them, so far only by hand that there was a possibility of correction of the provision of assembly.
5. Now it is necessary to center a frictional disk that at installation of the transmission of a vent of a pin of a main shaft got to the center of a nave of a disk.
6. For centering pass the screw-driver or other suitable core throughout an opening in an end face of a bent shaft. Now the frictional disk can be centered in relation to a shaft. It is alternatively possible to use the special tool that allows to reduce considerably the time expenditure connected with adjustment. The tool can be manufactured in house conditions of the suitable metal core or wooden whetstone which are densely sitting down in an opening in an end face of a bent shaft. In the place of threading of a core in a nave it is necessary to reel up an adhesive tape on it, having provided landing density in a stupichny opening.
7. Having finished centering of a frictional disk, tighten bolts of fastening of a basket with the required effort - act in a diagonal order, you make tightening evenly, in stages.
8. Establish into place assembly of the transmission (see the Section Removal and installation of the transmission).

What is the History of Stain Removers?
The first of all stain removers is plain water. People find it is easy to wash away mud at a stream or a river.
The history of cleaning agents runs back to ancient Babylonian culture. Soap like materials was evacuated from ancient Babylonian remains. The 4500-5000-year-old remains also have detailed description of making such materials. It is however not clear whether they used the fat and ash mixed material for cleaning purposes.
Egyptian, Romans, Japanese, Greek and Chinese cultures of the ancient times paid attention to cleanliness and used different materials for cleaning purposes.
Chinese used the fruit of the soap-nut tree (Sapindus Mukorossi) for cleaning soft silk clothes. The nut yielded a soap-like material, which thoroughly cleans the silk and is soft on the fabric.
Soap making started in Europe in the seventh century. Soap making in Europe was mostly a family tradition and people kept the technique of soap making a secret. They used animal fat and plant oils to make soap. They also knew the technique of adding perfumes to the soap for fragrance. The soaps were used for bathing and laundry purposes. Italy, Spain, and France were the leaders in soap making.
Large-scale soap manufacturing began in 1791, with the invention of a process of making soda ash from common salt by a French scientist Nicholas Leblanc. Several advancements came to Leblanc method of soap. The cost and time for making soda ash became lower.
German scientists developed a method of making cleaning agents without plant oil or animal fat. This chemically synthesized material is called detergent. This is harsher than soap (that produced from fat and oil). This happened in 1916 when the availability of fat and oils was scarce.
Utilization of enzymes for detergent manufacturing was a breakthrough in detergent manufacturing. A no enzyme content detergents too are available today, but the biggest thrust is on enzyme added detergents. There is however different environmental problems associated with the use of enzymes in detergents.
Further researches produced higher quality detergents at lower costs. Detergents eventually went on to surpass soap as the preferred cleaning agent.
Later researchers on cleaning products were concentrated on the safety of the users and environment, ease of use and lower production costs. Detergents and soaps are available as cakes, powder and in liquid form. Detergents that mix well in saline water are also readily available in the market.
That is the history of stain removers, which started off as a mixture of fat and ash or plant products, which, with advancement in research facilities has grown to such high proportions that everyone today can afford to have a stain remover of his or her choice.

Tile and Grout Cleaning – How Cleaning This Can Improve The Health of Your Employees
The tile and grout cleaning is an immensely hectic job, but it needs to be done on a periodic basis to keep the environment free from dust and dirt. The tile and grout are the most exposed areas of the house and it becomes very easy for the dust to settle on the surface. While working in a workplace, it is the duty of the managers and directors to keep the working environment free of dirt and germs. In order to make the commercial premises as a healthy and hygienic, the managers hire professional cleaners who have the ability to suck up all the dirt from inner pores of the tiles and make them appear bright and shiny.

Cleaning Ceramic Tile Floors
Cleaning ceramic tile floors can be a frustrating task because of the difference of the material that the glazed tile is made of and the unglazed grout. Ceramic tile floors are a great addition to the home, usually found in bathrooms, hallways, and kitchens. But like all floors they require periodic cleaning and cleaning a ceramic tile floor is not the same as cleaning a vinyl or wood floor. What makes it difficult is that the tile is glazed but the grout is unglazed mortar cement between the tiles that get stained or dirty much easier than the tile. Although the grout may have a sealer applied, it is still not as durable and resistant to stains and dirt as the ceramic tile. If the grout is dirty the entire floor looks dirty. So how do we clean it?

Tile Cleaning for Renewed Beauty
Tile cleaning is a necessary stage in construction material maintenance. It is an important step that helps you to sustain the beauty of the product that you have purchased. Otherwise, it's just some squares, diamonds, rectangles or mosaic on your walls, counters or flooring. And that is not what you searched, picked, or installed it for. You wanted the best for your home and that involved a little bit of preservation, even for the aesthetic components. Therefore, it is important to understand what you can do between professional tile cleaning and polishing to restore both the grout and tile. You will be so pleased with how quickly the grout of your flooring, counters, and walls return to their original bright and even colour. The rich colour that is reflected on the actual tiles will return you to the feeling of the first installation.

A How To Guide For Cleaning Your Marble
Due to its elegance, durability and ageless beauty, the stone is being specified and installed in increasing quantities these days. Building activity may be off its high, but stone continues to represent an ever increasing portion of the floors being installed. Architects are specifying granite for floors and walls and using stone in common areas of new office buildings. Designers are selecting marble or limestone as flooring material in homes both small and large.


A Sierra Vista woman died Wednesday night after being struck by a vehicle while she was crossing State Route 90 near Rainbow Way.
Sierra Vista Police Department officers responded to the incident at about 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday and found that 67-year-old Sierra Vista resident Sharron Pottier had been fatally struck while crossing the highway east of a HAWK pedestrian crosswalk. The HAWK signal was working properly, however witnesses reported it was not activated at the time of the collision.
The driver of the vehicle, 43-year-old Douglas resident Ian Carbajal, was traveling eastbound on State Route 90 when he struck Pottier. Carbajal remained at the scene of the collision and cooperated with investigators. He voluntarily submitted breath and blood samples to test for alcohol and drugs.
No citations have been issued and there is no indication that excessive speed contributed to the collision. Laboratory testing on both Pottier and Carbajal have been requested.
Anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to contact SVPD Detective John Papatrefon at (520) 452-7500.

High-tech entrepreneur Elon Musk's SpaceX company launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Florida on Thursday on a mission to carry the first batch of five dozen small satellites into low-Earth orbit for his new Starlink internet service.
The rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at about 10:30 pm local time (0230 GMT Friday), marking a milestone in a global enterprise aimed at generating cash for Musk's larger ambitions in space.
The Falcon 9 was due to release its cargo of 60 satellites into orbit about an hour after Thursday's launch. Each one weighs 227 kg (500 pounds (), making it the heaviest payload for any SpaceX rocket to date.
Those satellites are designed to form the initial phase a planned constellation capable of beaming signals for high-speed internet service from space to paying customers around the globe.
Musk has said he sees the new Starlink venture as an important new revenue stream for his California-based Space Exploration Technologies, known as SpaceX, whose launch service income he expects to top out at around $3 billion a year.
Speaking to reporters last week, Musk said that makes Starlink pivotal in helping pay for his larger goals of developing a new spacecraft to fly paying customers to the moon and for eventually trying to colonize Mars.
"We think this is a key stepping stone on the way towards establishing a self-sustaining city on Mars and a base on the moon," said Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur who is also chief executive officer of automaker Tesla Inc.
At least 12 launches carrying similar payloads are needed to achieve constant internet coverage of most of the world, Musk said. Starlink is only currently authorised for operations in the United States.
Musk faces stiff competition. In February, Airbus SE-backed OneWeb launched its own clutch of satellites, while LeoSat Enterprises and Canada's Telesat are also working to build data networks.
In each network, t he tiny satellites orbit closer to Earth than traditional communications satellites, a technological shift made possible by advances in laser technology and computer chips.
Musk said SpaceX would begin approaching customers later this year or next year. As many as 2,000 satellites will be launched per year, with the ultimate objective of placing up to 12,000 into orbit.
Five things to know about a breast cancer vaccine that works


The first training exercises or discipline the believer must practice to become spiritually fit is to spend time in the Bible. Jesus stated the importance of hearing and obeying the Word of God by declaring that the person will be blessed who hears and obeys. This verse, along with many others, stresses the necessity of studying God's Word. The believer needs to have a consistent diet of the Bible by hearing it preached and taught and by reading and studying it diligently. All this spiritual food then becomes the energy and motivation one needs to obey all that the Bible teaches.
Lord Jesus, I long to be physically and spiritually fit. Guide me as I hear, read, and study the Bible so that I may put it into practice in my daily life.

On Witnesses and the 5th
In between Mark going on and on and on and (ahem) on about local politics and the evil (perceived or real) at his local prosecutor's office, he had a couple interesting posts up about how a witness can take the 5th: The Fifth and More on the Fifth. Rather than going directly into argument, I thought I'd set out the typical kind of case (usually in Domestic Court) where this comes up.
John Smith and Jane Jones live together in a trailer. They call each other "fiance" but there hasn't been any real talk about a wedding for the last 2 years they've been living together. They have a child in common who is 8 months old.
Saturday night rolls around and the deputies are dispatched to the trailer. They arrive and find John and Jane both inebriated. Separated, John says nothing, but Jane tells the officers that John grabbed her by the neck, slammed her into the wall and slapped her twice. She has a swelling eye, split lip and some redness around her neck. John gets hauled off and charged with Assault & Battery of a Family Member (living together qualifies).
6 weeks later comes the court date. Jane flags down the Assistant Prosecutor in the courtroom that day and they go out in the hall to start the dance. Jane's opening gambit: "I want to drop the case."1
Prosecutor, who has had at least one call a day from a lady who wants to drop a charge against husband/fiance/baby's daddy/brother/father/&cetera, isn't dissuaded quite so easily, "Why?"
"He didn't mean it. He was drunk and we were arguing. It would have never happened if I hadn't yelled at him. Anyway, he's in AA now and he's really sorry. He ain't hit me since. And if he goes to jail he'll lose his job and I need his check to feed the baby."
Prosecutor takes all this in and tells the lady to sit back down in the gallery. Then he goes to look at John's record and talk to the deputies. The record isn't too bad: 2 petit larcenies, 1 possession of marijuana, and 1 simple assault and battery from 3 years back (all misdemeanors - nothing domestic - longest time in jail is 10 days for the second larceny). He then turns and asks the deputies what the situation is.
Deputy: "They spend their time drunk and arguing with each other. We get called up there about once a month to separate them. This time there was physical evidence of an attack so (per policy) we arrested John."
Prosecutor: "Any trouble since? Think anything we do here can help the situation?"
Deputy: (shrugs) We haven't been called to the trailer since this incident. We've dealt with John and Jane for years; they aren't going to change. Still, a man oughtn't do that and not get punished." Deputy pulls out his digital camera and shows Prosecutor pictures of Jane with red marks the size of a hand on her neck and a swollen right eye and a split lower lip.
Prosecutor weighs everything and decides that realistically he should offer 5 weekends in jail or 10 days with work release. A suspended sentence of 6 months. Probation of 12 months. He forwards that offer to John's attorney and turns around to try a case the judge has called.
By the time Prosecutor finishes the case and turns around Jane is frantically waving at him. They go back out in the hall. Jane is beside herself: "I told you I want to drop the charges."
Prosecutor: "He has a prior assault and battery and he choked you and hit you twice. I'm offering him a better deal than he ought to get. And he won't lose his job."
Jane: "I won't testify. He didn't hit me."
Prosecutor: "Ma'am, we have pictures of the injuries he inflicted on you."
Jane: "I fell down."
Prosecutor: "Both sides of your face were injured."
Jane: "I hit the door with my eye and doorknob with my lip."
Prosecutor: "And the red marks on your neck?"
Jane: "I was wearing a necklace and it caught on the doorknob as I fell and almost choked me."
Prosecutor: "Ma'am, I don't believe a word of that. In ten minutes I'm going to call you to testify. It's perjury to lie under oath - you need to tell the truth."
Jane: "I don't wanna testify and John don't need to go to jail. You call me to the stand and I'll take the 5th."
---------- ---------- ----------
So now we are about where Mark's posts begin. Of course, people being as creative and diverse as they are, there are infinite variations on the theme laid out above. However, I think it's fairly representative of what happens.
Tomorrow I'll try to talk some about the theories and realities of the courtroom and Commonwealth v. John Smith.
1 Implicit in this instruction is the belief that the prosecutor is her attorney. My experience has been pretty much the exact opposite of what Mark talks about. I spend a fair amount of time telling people, as delicately as possible, that I am not their attorney.
Mark Bennett said...
What, you don't like hearing about the moral collapse of the Harris County District Attorney's Office? Is our little soap opera too provincial for you?
Your description of the typical case sounds about right, though often there's a lot less evidence corroborating Jane's initial story.
According to one Jane, the prosecutor (maybe too young to know better, or maybe not -- you know how those Harris County prosecutors are) told her that she didn't need a lawyer because he represented her.
I look forward to your take on what the prosecutor is allowed to do once the witness announces her intention to take the Fifth. I don't see much wiggle room.

And there will be theft . . .


This recipe combines my two greatest loves; desserts and alcohol, funnily enough however, it's not something I do very often. Come to think of it, I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before.
After much deliberation, I settled on a rather elaborate dessert, which is a spin on a dish I have on my blog. Switching peanut butter for hazelnut butter (very good decision), and abandoning the cremeaux in favour of a boozy chocolate mousse. Not forgetting the espresso vodka caramel, which might just be my new salted caramel. For good measure I threw in some praline and meringue, just to add some different textures and show there's little things you can do to make a dessert more interesting.
By no means do you need to make the whole thing if you aren't feeling up for the challenge, although you can easily spread it over a number of days, and none of the elements are too mentally taxing.
If you were to choose to make just one thing; the caramel would be perfect poured over ice cream, or sticky toffee pudding, and the mousse could be served with crushed biscuits and ice cream. But please don't skip the hazelnut parfait.
I hope this inspires at least one person to start consuming their alcohol in the form of food.
Combine the sugar and water and heat to 118c (using a sugar thermometer).
Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks until pale in colour.
Slowly pour the sugar syrup into the egg yolks and whisk until fully combined.
Mix in the warm hazelnut butter, then fold in the Greek yoghurt and the salt.
Pour into the moulds and freeze until firm.
Note: this will need to be removed from the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Place the chocolate and orange juice in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and allow to melt slowly. Once melted, sieve in the cocoa powder.
Allow to cool slightly, then add in the egg yolks and Espresso Vodka.
Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and whisk until stiff and glossy.
Fold in the egg whites in 4 batches, being aggressive with the first batch, and being increasingly more gentle to keep the air in the whites.
Finally, fold in the Greek yoghurt.
Pour into moulds or ramekins and leave in the fridge to set.
Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and place over a low heat.
Stir until the sugar dissolves and then turn the heat up to high and stop stirring.
Cook until the caramel is a deep amber colour, then remove from the heat.
Add the cream, stir and return the pan to a low heat, stirring until caramel is smooth.
Pour in the Espresso Vodka, and transfer to a jar for storing if not using immediately.
Note: the caramel will keep in the fridge for a week, but will need to be warmed over a low heat before serving.
Preheat oven to 160c. Position one shelf in the middle of the oven.
Place the hazelnuts on a baking tray in the oven for 15 minutes, until fragrant and toasted. Roughly chop and put to one side.
Meanwhile, sieve the icing sugar and cocoa powder into a small bowl and set aside.
Place the egg whites into a mixing bowl along with the salt and cream of tartar and whisk (using an electric whisk if possible). Whisk until soft peaks form, and then gradually add the caster sugar, a tablespoon at a time, whilst continuing to whisk.
The mixture should now be thick and glossy. Gently fold in the icing sugar, cocoa powder and hazelnuts.
Spread the mixture onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and use an offset spatula to smooth it out to a rectangle, roughly 1cm thick.
Place in the oven for 30 minutes, rotate the tray and pop back in for another 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before chopping into shards.
Heat the sugar in a small saucepan over a medium high heat. Refrain from stirring as this will cause the sugar to crystallise.
Once completely melted, and the sugar has turned a deep amber, add the hazelnuts to the pan and swirl to coat the hazelnuts in the caramel.
Tip the mixture onto baking paper, sprinkle over the salt and allow to cool.
Once completely cool, blitz in a food processor, until a sandy texture is achieved.
Note: if making in advance, store this in the freezer. It does not need to be defrosted before serving, but the freezer stops the sugar from 'weeping' and getting sticky.
I am a professionally trained chef, having graduated from Ashburton Cookery School in early 2016 with a Diploma in Professional Culinary Arts, CIEH Level 3 Food Safety and WSET Level 1 Foundation Certificate in Wines. After working in a restaurant briefly I realised I was far too curious to be cooking the same dishes day in and day out and so now can be found in my own kitchen, in my pyjamas, trying to make magic happen. That way I get to eat the results too, which is inevitably the best part.

Prime Minister Modi leaves for China to attend SCO Summit
This is the first summit after India gained full membership of the SCO. PM Modi will put forth India's Regional and global interests at the multi lateral forum but first on his agenda is a bilateral meeting with President Xi Jinping.
Within an hour of his touching down in China, the two leaders will meet for the second time in two months. The talks are expected to take forward the ground work done during the informal Wuhan Summit.
Talking of the SCO Summit, India is likely to pitch for concerted regional and global action against terror networks and favour effective connectivity links to boost trade.
The SCO is an inter governmental organisation founded in 2001 comprising Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan Russia, Tajikistan Uzbekistan, China and new members India and Pakistan. The new members were inducted in last year's Astana summit.
The SCO underlines security issues of the region especially on counter terrorism cooperation. Under the RATS (Regional Anti Terror Structure) periodic counter terror exercises take place between the member states. The summit will also take up issues like improving global governance and consolidating multilateral plans to enhance development strategies of the member states, particularly in economic cooperation.
In the run up to the crucial summit, Qingdao has been transformed into a fortress. Highlight of the arrangements this year includes over 2000 Young volunteers from across the city helping the visitors.
Apart from the debut by India and Pakistan, the presence of President Hassan Rouhani of Iran, whose country is an SCO observer, will also be closely watched. This is in the wake of US President Donald Trump's decision to pull out of the Iranian nuclear deal, creating a crisis in Tehran's relations with the European Union, China and other countries.
