Lichen sclerosus (LS) and lichen planus (LP) are two conditions frequently affecting genital skin whose clinical and histologic distinction can be difficult. Both diseases can feature solitary genital lesions with bandlike lymphocytic infiltrates. We reviewed 68 cases of vulvar LS to find sections that contained a transition from a lichenoid interface reaction to pathognomonic LS (i.e., marked papillary dermal sclerosis or edema), and in these nine cases we studied routinely and specially stained sections, as well as sections stained with a panel of antisera to lymphoid antigens, and compared the findings with those in six cases of genital LP. We assumed that changes at the periphery of a lesion of LS mirror findings seen in early lesions. The features that we found more commonly in the inflammatory phase of LS included a psoriasiform lichenoid pattern (100% LS, 0% LP), basilar epidermotropism (78% LS, 0% LP), loss of papillary dermal elastic fibers (100% LS, 33% LP), basement membrane thickening (44% LS, 0% LP), and epidermal atrophy (33% LS, 0% LP). Features found more commonly in LP included many cytoid bodies (0% LS, 100% LP), wedge-shaped hypergranulosis (11% LS, 100% LP), basal squamatization (22% LS, 100% LP), and pointed rete ridges (11% LS, 83% LP). We did not detect any significant differences in the immunohistochemical features of the infiltrates. Taken together, these histologic features comprise light microscopic criteria for the diagnosis of early vulvar LS and its differentiation from LP.

The Real Estate Market is Booming
June 11, 2015 Bill Langmaid	Leave a comment
2014 was a very good year for real estate sales in Vernonia. According to local agents 2015 looks like it will be even better.
"The real estate market in Vernonia has changed dramatically since 2013" says Sharon Bernal, a local broker with John L. Scott Realtors. Bernal handles numerous Vernonia properties each year as well as other properties around the tri-county area.
In 2014 a total of seventy-seven real estate transactions took place in Vernonia and Bernal says she had her best year ever, closing sixty-six transactions; thirty-four of those were in Vernonia.
Bernal says she expects that trend to continue. "I think Vernonia is going to have a fabulous year in 2015."
According to Bernal, the region's real estate market reached it's peak in 2006 and then hit bottom in January of 2013 during the recession. During that time Bernal says homeowners lost forty percent of their property values. "We never thought it would go down as far as it did," says Bernal.
The market has been slowly recovering through 2013 and then really turned around in 2014. In general, prices in Vernonia are usually lower than the rest of the tri-county region, a trend which tends to drive buyers to the Vernonia area when prices start to rise.
"One of the problems we have today is there are not a lot of sellers with equity," says Bernal. She explains that sellers with equity everywhere, not just in Vernonia, jumped in and sold when the market rebounded in 2014. "That's part of the reason we had such a good year."
Bernal said the average price of properties she sold in Vernonia in 2014 was $160,000.
According to Bernal this year there are emerging a few sellers in western Washington County and the rest of the region that have equity in their properties. Quality homes that go on the market at a reasonable price are receiving multiple offers. Bernal says buyers are getting tired of finding the right home and deciding to make an offer, only to end up being outbid. "I just had a client out here last weekend that said, 'We don't want to play that game anymore.'"
Vernonia is close enough to Hillsboro and the jobs in high tech and other industries, making the thirty-five minute commute with almost no traffic very appealing. "Our problem in Vernonia now is having enough listings," says Bernal.
It's not just the short commute to work that makes Vernonia a desirable location for buyers. Most lots in Vernonia are fifty by 100 feet or larger, which is much more space than buyers will find elsewhere. "I'm seeing a movement of people wanting to go back to a simpler lifestyle," explains Bernal. "People are loving Vernonia because even if they buy in a subdivision or a city lot, they are getting a whole lot more space to garden or have animals."
Bernal says another draw is the local school. She says families are tired of their children being just a number in the large districts and find the personalized attention and involvement of staff in the smaller district setting as "a difference of night and day." The new LEED platinum, energy efficient campus is also a selling point to younger families.
Easy access to outdoor recreational activities makes Vernonia a great choice for families and young adults as well, with rivers, streams, timberland, parks and trails practically in the backyard. "They can get on their bikes or motorcycles and go," says Bernal.
Although Bernal says young families make up the majority of her buyers, the new health clinic facility and twenty-four hour ambulance service also makes Vernonia appealing to retirees.
Property taxes are much lower in Columbia County, which is an additional bonus. "There is no comparison to the tri-counties," says Bernal.
The close knit community is also a surprise to some new residents. "Everybody talks about that," says Bernal. "They come out of these subdivisions in Portland and Beaverton and they don't even know who their neighbors were. They say, 'Vernonia is so friendly,' and it is." She says the attractive downtown corridor draws potential buyers at first, but the level of community engagement seals the deal. "We have so many committees and opportunities to get involved and make a difference."
Purchasing and living on acreage is also a motivation for some buyers. According to Bernal bank lending on bare land has loosened up and is currently more readily available. Bernal noted that she had some recent clients in their fifties who were both raised on a dairy farm. They were looking at an early retirement and considering starting a farm in Vernonia. Bernal said she asked them, "Why Vernonia?" "They said the prices were still reasonable and the weather was perfect for a dairy farm," said Bernal. She added that the most desirable properties – one and two acre lots – are hard to come by, but five and ten acres parcels are starting to make their way back onto the market.
There are several small, new developments being constructed in Vernonia right now which are attractive to some potential buyers. "New construction seems to be moving pretty good," says Bernal. As an example she mentioned a new home in the Knickerson Ridge development, a custom four bedroom home on a 7,500 square foot lot with plenty of parking and an oversized two car garage, listed at $229,000. "That house in Hillsboro would be listed at $289,000," says Bernal. "People are driven to come out and look at that property." Other small subdivisions with new homes are located on Fourth Avenue and in Roseview Court.
Bernal says there are some attractive commercial properties available in Vernonia which have been drawing recent attention, including several in the previously mentioned downtown corridor. "People are interested and they are looking," said Bernal.
Bernal's enthusiasm remains constant whether she's discussing homes, bare land or commercial spaces. "I think it's going to be a great year for real estate in Vernonia."

Антитеизам или противбоштво је супротстављање било ком облику вере у бога, теизму. Теизам је веровање у постојање једног или више божанстава који утиче на наше животе, разликује се од деизма, веровања у постојање бога који је створио свет, али се више није мешао и не бави се нашим животима. Атеизам не прихвата тврдњу теизма да бог постоји услед недостатка било каквих доказа али не представља активну борбу против теизма већ је неутралан. Антитеизам је активно противљење теизму базирано на ставу да је религија опасна по човечанство. Одређени облик антитеизма се може видети код Фридриха Ничеа.

Неки критичари сматрају да је антитеизам у ствари неопологизам, јер, по њиховом размишљању, не постоји већа разлика у односу на атеизам, јер је атеизам сам по себи антитеистичан, али то и није баш тако. Атеиста је и онај који никад није чуо за бога, па према томе код таквог човека није присутно негирање бога. Атеизам одбија да прихвати да Бог/Богови постоје услед недостатка било каквих доказа, док је антитеизам снажно противљење веровању, религији и самим религијским обичајима.

Атеистички писци данашњице попут Кристофера Хиченса појам антитеизам дефинишу као "активну борбу против теизма као узрока свог зла".

Противљење теизму
Оксфорд речник дефинише антитеисту као "особу која се противи веровању у постојање бога или богова". Најранији цитат овог значења може се пронаћи 1833. Антитеиста се може противити постојању свих богова, а не само специфичних богова у разним религијама.

Антитеизам се такође користи као термин за особе које сматрају да је теизам опасан или разоран. У својој књизи -{Letters to a Young Contrarian}- () (изданој 2001), Кристофер Хиченс даје пример овог гледишта: "Не бих за себе рекао да сам атеиста, него више да сам антитеиста. Не само да сматрам да су све религије иста врста неистине, већ сматрам да је утицај цркви и религијских веровања штетан."

Противљење појму Бога
Чејмберс речник дефинише антитеизам на три различита начина: "доктрина антагонистичка теизму, »негирање« постојања Бога; противљење Богу". У већини случајева, "противљење Богу" не значи да антитеист верује у постојање Бога, али му се противи у виду мизотеизма (мржње богова), већ став да би постојање Бога било лоше или неморално. Све три дефиниције одговарају Хиченсовом коришћењу и то не да је то само антирелигиозни став, неверовање у божанства, већ да је и противљење постојања бога. Друга је синоним јаког атеизма. Међутим, прва и трећа чак не морају бити атеистичке у природи.

Једна од ранијих дефиниција антитеизма се приписује француском католичком свештенику Жаку Маритену (1953) за кога је антитеизам био "активна мука против свега на шта нас посећа Бог" (pp. 104) као и професору божанстава Универзитета у Единбургу Роберту Флинту (1877). Флинтова предавања из 1877. су се звала Антитеистичке теорије. Овај термин је широко користио као термин за све врсте противљења својој врсти теизма, који је описао као "веровање да небо и земља и све што садрже, дугују своје постојање мудрости и вољи врховном, самопостојећем, свемогућем, свезнајућем, праведном и благонаклоном Бићу, који независно делује од оног што је Он направио." Наставља:

Кад се бавимо теоријама које немају ништа заједничко осим тога што су антагонистичке према теизму, важно је имати општепризнати назив да их разликујемо. Антитеизам делује као прикладна реч. Наравно, такође је и много опширнија него сâм термин атеизам. Може означавати све идеје које се противе теизму. Према томе, у антитеизам можемо уврстити и атеизам... Међутим, постоји још антитеистичких теорија осим атеизма. Политеизам није атеизам, јер не одбацује изјаву да постоји божанство; али јесте антитеститичка теорија јер одбацује тврдњу да постоји само једно божанство. Пантеизам није атеизам, јер признаје да постоји Бог; али јесте антитеистичка теорија јер одбија изјаву да је Бог различит од стварања и да поседује атрибуте попут мудрости, светости и љубави. Свака теорија која одбацује описивање Бога према атрибутима који су неопходни за Његов карактер, јесте антитеистичка. Једино оне теорије које одбијају признати да постоје докази за постојање Бога су атеистичке.

Међутим, Флинт такође прихвата да се антитеизам најчешће другачије сматра од његове тачке гледишта. Говори да се понекад сврстава под атеизам, па описује гледиште да се теизам оповргнуо, уместо општијег термина кога користи Флинт. Одбија појам нетеизам као алтернативни, "не чисто због свог хибридног порекла и оличја, али такође зато што је превише обиман. Теорије физичких и менталних наука су нетеистичке, чак и кад, директно или индиректно, нису антагонистичке према теизму."

Опозиција Богу често се назива дистеизам (што значи "веровање у божанство које није добронамерно") и мизотеизам (што значи, строго говорећи, "мржња Бога"). Примери врста атеизма који се заснивају на принципу опорбе Бога су атеистички и теистички сатанизам као и малтеизам.

Capel Iwan (1790-1829)
1790-4 Trelech, Carmarthenshire. 'Morgan Jones was ordained minister in Trelech on the 13th of March 1790 [Not 1789 as given in HEAC iii. 396 & 401]. He was a thin pale looking man at the time. Many believed he was not long for this world. But he lived to serve his God for close to 46 years in the same place. But did he prosper? There were early signs in Trelech and Capel Iwan that the right man had come to the right place. The people clave to him at once and he cared for the people also. A spirit of prayer and action came over the churches generally... A revival of a particular sort took place at once after Morgan Jones came to Trelech, namely a quiet revival in the spirit of the members themselves. It cannot be measured or its worth known; but its signs and effects are seen. Mr Jones understood at once the nature of the task, perceived the need of the area and saw the direction the pillar of fire was leading. It was a pillar of fire because it was night at that time in Trelech. He grasped the reins with a strong hand. The commotion ended. A spirit of prayer came in its place; for there is no place in the Church of God for a spirit of contention and a spirit of prayer. We see from Mr Jones' "Register", that some of those who had gone out with Mr Owen Davies returned one by one to the old fold, and they were received in Capel y Graig "as those from the world." Among them was the daughter of Mr Owen Davies himself. During the first 5 years of his ministry, 336 souls were received and readmitted to the two churches.' [D.G. Williams, Y Tadau Anibynnol. Rhif x. Y Parch. Morgan Jones, Trelech, Caernarfon [1899],p.160-3; Congregational Magazine, xxii (1829), p.510, Holy Art of Winning Souls, pp.?]
REVIVAL OF RELIGION IN WALES.
Forty years ago the Rock Chapel, Trelech. Carmarthenshire was the only Independent Society in that neighbourhood. In 1790, the Rev. M. Jones was ordained pastor over that people, and members were united to the church belonging to Llwyn-yr-hwrdd, Blaenycoed, Ffynnonbedr, and Chapel Iwan. In a few years these so much increased, that for their accommodation chapels were built at three of these places, and the celebration of the Lord's Supper was successively introduced amongst them. The work of God having prospered in the church at Trelech and its branches, by successive revivals, (1792, 1793,) and especially in 1822, when 300 members were added to the church, it became necessary to have further ministerial assistance. The Rev. E. Jones, son of the pastor, was therefore chosen to the co-pastorate, and in 1824 was ordained at Trelech accordingly.
This Society has been cordially engaged in instructing the young in Sabbath Schools, not only to read, but also in the great truths of the Gospel, and so numerous has the attendance been for years, that few can be found in that neighbourhood unable to read.
In the beginning of the present year, a religious concern began to pervade a branch Sunday School, in the parish of Clydey [NB actually the parish of Cilrhedyn, but the parish church is in Clydey—DGJ], belonging to the church at Trelech. About one half of the school had previously professed religion, but now a concern for their souls became the one thing needful with persons of all ages in the school, so that, in a short time, all who were in the school came forward to propose themselves for church fellowship, except two, and one of these, who had been a scoffer, and was deeply afflicted afterwards, joined himself to the people of God.
The revival in that school was preceded by a remarkable degree of sincerity and impartiality in the advice and reproofs of the teachers, who were also very diligent in instructing the children in those things which belong to their peace. A day for prayer and humiliation was set apart and observed at each of the chapels when the congregations were crowded; the prayers for divine influences fervent; great seriousness prevailed, and saving impressions were revived in the hearts of some, and wrought in the minds of many. These solemn services were again renewed on the 17th of April, (Good Friday.)
Meetings of inquiry were publicly held with those who were under religions concern and these exercises were highly beneficial. Some who presented themselves had been under convictions for many years, others had received them during the preceding year, but most within a few months.
The work of conversion extended through the Sunday Schools at Trelech, Glanrhyd, Llanwinio, and Crugiwan. At the latter place there was also preaching, but the meetings were so thinly attended, that an old disciple said, "we are too, cold,—we shall have no revivals here." But shortly after there was an evident impression on the minds of those who assembled, accompanied with weeping and confession of their coldness. At the next service the house was crowded; much weeping prevailed; there was scarcely an individual present unaffected. The old disciple referred to, remarked the next day, "last night was wonderful—generally, we hear the people talking in every direction, and at great distances as they go home, but last night all was silence, sadness was felt by all." Although this work has greatly prospered in the Sunday Schools, yet it has not been confined to them, for many, of all ages, in these and neighbouring places, were impressed, attended the inquiry meetings, and at length proposed themselves for church fellowship.
At Chapel Iwan numbers have professed their faith in Jesus, and numbers more are coming forward.
Before Llwyn-yr-hwrdd felt the blessed influence of revival, many of the young people met together in the evenings, for trifling mirth and idle conversation, but these meetings were entirely abandoned, through a religious concern, which was generally diffused, and many were added to the church.
Peterwell, or Ffynnonbedr, was left unvisited by the revival of 1822, and the branch of the church there was consequently feeble, and fears were entertained lest the present revival should not extend thither; but soon after the prayer-meetings for the outpouring of the Spirit was held, a feeling was apparent in the meetings at the chapel and in the neighbourhood; members from the Sunday Schools and many householders were united to the church, and are remarkable for their delight in religious conversation, and for their diligence and zeal in the cause of Jesus.
That the reader may judge of the results of this blessed visitation, it is necessary to report, that since the 19th of April last, four hundred and seventy-three persons have been added to the church at Trelech and its branches, as under:— Trelech 219
Chapel Iwan 68
Llwyn-yr-hwrdd 69
Blaenycoed 65
Ffynnonbedr 52
On this happy visitation, the Rev. M. Jones, the senior pastor, has favoured us with the following remarks:-
"1. In this revival I have observed great solemnity possessing the minds of the hearers in general, especially amongst those who proposed themselves for church fellowship.
"2. It followed a day set apart for prayer, that the Holy Spirit might be shed forth, and which was kept at each of our places; we also observed Good Friday, and have since held similar meetings monthly.
"3. It has been with great power, for some who had been impressed with the importance of religion, at times, for many years, and have shifted their convictions, could withstand no longer, and backsliders, who have been long separated, one ten years, and another thirtyfive years, were restored to the church.
"4. This revival has, in a great degree, changed the face of things in our neighbourhood, in a moral point of view.
"5. Although this revival has occurred amongst the Welsh, who are said to be proverbially impassioned, yet it is not the result of any excitation produced by awful providences, strange ministers or even by meetings of ministers; but it is the effect of an instrumentality, which the people have possessed for years and which for years had not produced any visible effects upon their minds!"
What encouragement does this afford to every pastor, to gird up the loins of his mind with renewed energy, and to seek, by prayer and labour, similar blessings." (Also Holy Art of Winning Souls, pp.?; HEAC iii. 396)

Q: Why the numbers of biconnected simple graphs of 4 nodes is three? It is stated at http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BiconnectedGraph.html that the numbers of biconnected simple graphs on n = 4 is 3. And it gives the example graphs: "diamond graph", "square graph", and "tetrahedral graph". And I am wondering, why it doesn't count if I add a cross line on the "diamond graph"? Is it because the result is isomorphic to the "tetrahedral graph"?

A: It becomes same as "tetrahedral graph" if you add a cross line on the "diamond graph".
Please focus on each vertices of "diamond graph" which cross line added and "tetrahedral graph".
All vertices of "diamond graph" which cross line added are connected all vertices except own.
All vertices of "tetrahedral graph" are also.

The scientists and analysts who use the Phenotype Foudation software and set out its future course.
The Phenotype Foundation mission is to empower scientists, within various communities of practice, with standardized software and knowledge stores to store, manage, and retrieve information and data on genotypes and phenotypes.
Include the existing study database initiatives.
Identify, recruit, and organize appropriate scientists into communities of practice who will benefit from the development and use of standardized knowledge stores and software for the purposes of characterizing phenotypes from studies.
Utilize the knowledge and expertise of these identified scientists to guide the design and development of the software and knowledge repositories capable of assisting in the characterization of phenotypes.
Structure and create the necessary databases and software the programming.
Raise funds to support the above activities.
The Phenotype Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors (BOD) to be elected every two years with two being elected in any given year.
The BOD shall be comprised of seven Foundation members with at least one member representing the Technical Advisory Board, and at least one member representing the Scientific Advisory Board.
The Board of Directors will meet at least twice per year.
The main tasks of the Board of Directors are to define, refine and implement the strategy of the Foundation as mentioned above, and specifically to set and update the roadmap for dbXP software development that is carried out by the Programmers Community.
Membership of the Foundation is open to everyone who shows active participation in dbXP (e.g. uploading of data, programming of modules, acquirement of funding).
The Members of the Foundation elect their Board every two years.
GSCF is the main module of dbNP, the Nutritional Phenotype Database software project that was initiatied by NuGO, and further carried on within Netherlands Metabolomics Centre and Netherlands Bioinformatics Centre.
The Clean Transcriptomics Database is a module of the Nutritional Phenotype Database (dbNP). The development of this module is funded by NuGO and built by Wageningen University & Research Centre. It aims at a centralized storage of transcriptomics data, that is queryable via the dbNP query module, and has its accompanying study metadata stored in the dbNP study capture module (GSCF, see under).
It complies with the 'dbNP omics submodule' standard by serving clean data via the dbNP clean data layer.
The metagenomics module, attached to GSCF, stores genetic sequencing data derived from environmental samples, such as bacteria.
The metagenomics module is developed in the ANTIRESDEV project, which receives funding from EU FP7. Among others, its aim is to gain knowledge of the dynamics of resistance emergence at a variety of body sites during the administration of a range of antibiotics frequently used in Europe.
The metabolomics module functions as a repository of metabolomics data, facilitating storage of raw and processed metabolomics data and study information, which can be searched and queried.

See that painting below? That's my mom as painted by my uncle. As it's placed right by the entry of the house, it reminds us not to get into any shenanigans.
Again, stay tuned for a full tutorial closer to the holidays on this oversized holly and berries paper garland. I'm sure you'll be waiting at the edge of your seats.
UPDATED: You can find the tutorial here.
Thank you to my awesome brother-in-law, Walker Boyes, for taking the photos! He's the best!


You are wondering why and how to use Twitter Analytics Tool for your business. Do you already have a Twitter account, do you already tweet? Tweet, Tweet and Tweet more but what happens to those tweets? Who reads them? Share them? Engage with them? Let's dig into Twitter analytics tool of that keystone social media.
Google Analytics was an early bird in the analytics world starting back then in 2005 with its analytics tool. Twitter launched its analytics tool back in 2011 just for the publishers back then. And then it opened its Twitter Analytics dashboard for everybody in August 2014. So go for it, dig for the datas.
But hey? which datas? Twitter offers three set of key datas that I would call the first-layer analytics datas. Let's focus on those one. If for some time you've been twitting about your business, your brand, and you want to know which content resonate the best with your audience. Twitter offers three set of datas: Impressions, Engagements and Engagement Rate.
Impressions refer to the number of people who see your post.
Engagements refer to the number of time a user interact with a Tweet. And by interact I mean through the #, links, avatar, username, Tweet expansion.
Engagement rate shows how many people who see your tweet interact with it. The famous TER: Tweet Engagement Rate! I really need to post a blog about all the digital marketing acronyms.
The engagement includes numerous actions: link clicks, favorite, retweet RT, replies, embedded media clicks, shared via email, follows, user profile clicks, permalink clicks, detail expands.
Checking out these metrics regularly, a trend will show up and you will be able to define what works for your audience and your brand. At first, you can start by spending a minimum of 10 minutes per week.
Check out Twitter blog which is rich of exemples and advices.


Yet another article, this one by Michael Hudson, that argues that the US has not only shot itself in the foot - thanks to its crazed army of the neocon living dead - but has also driven a wooden stake through its own heart.
That's what comes of letting the Nosferatu's of the world free rein to fill their bloody purses at the expense of others.
Yes I was warned. I'm not sure why.
1. Maduro is a bad guy and the Venezuelan people should of their own accord rise up.
2. US motives are suspect in all this.
That's three things as I measure it (1. Maduro is a bad guy - 2. Venezuelan people should rise up... - 3. US motive are suspect).
I don't actually think either of those first two are accurate. Maduro won by popular vote. If the Venezuelan people wanted to rise up against him they wouldn't need outside forces - the USA - to agitate against him and leak plans for using 5,000 troops to ignite regime change (and yep, the US are definitely suspect in this).
The US has no business interfering in the internal affairs of other nations, especially since it argues that no foreign power should interfere in their own affairs.
Fundamentally, one has to hold the moral high ground in order to preach to others. The US, these days, has sunk to the moral sewers.
I agree, **** the US. I concede that point.
Being elected doesnt automatically make you a good guy, Maduro has ruled by dictate for most of his term and has precipitated a refugee crisis worse than the Syrian Civil War.
If Venezuelans are okay with that so be it, no skin off my back. That's just the humble opinion of a foreigner.
I posted this same article early yesterday. The opposition is also a socialist and he hasn't been elected. What is Trump's justification?
And I agree with you about Maduro not necessarily being a good guy albeit an elected one. We could both say the same about Tony Blair or Margaret Thatcher, G W Bush, Obama and that **** Clinton as well as Macron et al.
For all their many, many failings and criminalities, no one seriously considered regime changing them. There's the fundamental difference right there. All were inside the Western / USA camp and knew to do what the US wanted them to do. That was their ticket to survival and prosperity.
Venezuela is outside that camp and that can't be tolerated given that it is inside the Western hemisphere and owns the largest oil reserves in the world -- ergo; it must be regime changed.
Democracy as a system of governance is imperfect and those who stand for election usually even more so. But what else is there that would gain popular support? Once upon a time, way back, candidates for election seemed generally better - but maybe it's rose tinted glasses I'm wearing?
Bolton and Trump seem to think they can take control of Venezuela's oil production. I find that very scary. Is there no mechanism for the US to help or advise VZ instead of kicking them when they're down?
Get rid of the US neocons is my solution. It will soften the many coming blows to the US.
Contra boys turned their attention to the world's largest oil reserves in Venezuela: The United States is now the greatest threat to peace on the planet.
But cobalt looms as a larger concern for some automakers. Roughly 62 percent global cobalt output is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo. An executive from Ford said recently that automakers might feel compelled to invest directly in cobalt production over fears of securing adequate supply. "I fully anticipate we're going to keep a lot of pressure on that cobalt production," Ted Miller, head of energy storage strategy and research at Ford, said at a mining event in South Africa. "Today it looks feasible but it's a scenario we're going to have to watch.

Spiritual Opium hits Tencent
Joe Perry August 3, 2021 3:48 PM
Tencent seems to be in the cross hairs of the Chinese government, as they are cracking down on the technology sector
China's crackdown on tech giants and private tutoring companies has taken a new twist. China now has its sights set on "spiritual opium", better known as online gaming. The Xinhua News Agency's "spiritual opium" comment today caused a dramatic selloff in gaming companies, including Tencent, as fears spread that China's crackdown would soon turn to online gaming. The article referred to one of Tencent's most popular games, Honor of Kings. As a result, Tencent said they would limit play time for minors and stop in-game purchases for children 12 years of age.
On-line gaming stocks across the board were hit across the board, with Tencent hit the hardest. The stock price at one point today was down 11% but bounced towards the end of day to close down only 6%. Tencent's stock price has been in a long-term head and shoulders formation since October 2020. Price eventually peaked in the "head" of the formation at 772.50 on February 18th and began moving lower and forming a right shoulder in early June. The target for a head and shoulders pattern is the length from the head to the neckline, added to the break of the neckline. In this case the target is near 323, which was also the low of March 2020. The stock is currently sitting just above horizontal support at 419.
In addition to the horizontal support on the daily timeframe, the 240-minute chart shows the Tencent's stock price is testing support at the bottom trendline of a downward sloping channel, which began at the top of the "head". Price is also near the 127.2% Fibonacci extension from the December 28th lows to the February 18th highs near 448. Furthermore, the RSI is entering oversold territory and is diverging with price. Perhaps the stock is due for a bounce. Further support below 419.5 is at the 161.8% Fibonacci extension from the previously mentioned timeframe at 239, then the March 2020 lows near 323. Resistance is at the July 29th highs of 491.5 and then horizontal resistance near 597.
Tencent seems to be in the cross hairs of the Chinese government, as they are cracking down on the technology sector. This time, they are focusing on "spiritual opium", or online gaming. The path of least resistance for Tencent's stock price is lower. And if China keeps targeting tech companies, Tencent's stock price may continue to fall.

Algorithms play a crucial role in how citizens around the world inform themselves about current affairs. According to the 2017 Reuters Digital News Report, an increasing number of users globally rely on personalization algorithms to receive news both directly on news websites, as well as indirectly via their algorithmic social media feeds, search engines, and news aggregators. In tandem with this development, there are growing concerns about the impact of algorithmic personalization on society in areas such as public opinion formation and viewpoint diversity on controversial issues. This workshop aims to broaden the debate on algorithms and news to discuss both risks and opportunities of personalization for news consumption and to develop suitable methods for auditing algorithmic personalization and its impact on users' news consumption behavior. It also aims to foster a dialogue between the stakeholders involved by bringing together researchers from computer science, media studies, journalism and communication sciences, as well as industry practitioners from both mainstream media and startups.

Waterford Country School Therapeutic Boarding Program (Connecticut)
Waterford Country School Therapeutic Boarding Program in rural Connecticut serves boys ages 11-17 from around the country, who have social, emotional, behavioral and learning differences.
We are a nonprofit agency that has been serving children and families since 1922. In 2009, we adopted Cornell University's CARE model. Our partnership with Cornell University is designed for families of children with challenges, who are seeking another route to personal and academic success.
Together with a highly dedicated and skilled staff, Board of Trustees and many friends in the community, they have developed an extensive array of programs and are committed to the spirit of doing "Whatever It Takes." Waterford Country School works hard to ensure that each child entrusted to their care is given the opportunity to grow, learn, and develop at his or her own pace.
'Where Everybody is Somebody' is a common daily phrase if you visit Waterford Country School – this is a very special place. Every day staff does "whatever it takes" to help children and families in need. Through residential programs, family-based programs, education programs, and community support programs, they offer a diverse range of services to children of all ages. The kids are the reason they exist.
Waterford Country School holds as its core value, interpersonal relationships based upon respect, compassion and hope among all persons at all levels. WCS focuses on developing a team of staff who possess the skills and talents to enable them to establish caring relationships with children and families leading towards positive change and the enhancement of their overall well being.
Agency Model:
For over 90 years, Waterford has operated on behalf of children and families, but since 2009 when they discovered Cornell University's program model – Children And Residential Experiences (CARE) their value system shifted and grounded itself into the change inducing practice they stand by today. CARE is a multi-level program model for improving services for children in out-of-home care. Based on six guiding principles, the CARE model is designed to profoundly influence the way residential childcare professionals think about working with children.
CARE principles include being:
Relationship-Based
Competence Centered
Trauma-Informed
Ecologically Oriented

Turkish GP Dropped From 2021 F1 Schedule, Replaced With Austria Doubleheader
May 14, 2021 by Alex Gallacher
The Turkish Grand Prix has been dropped from the 2021 Formula One schedule due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, F1 announced Friday (May 14).
The cancelation comes just over two weeks after the news broke that the Canadian Grand Prix was canceled and its date moved to Istanbul. Instead, the events will replaced by a doubleheader at the Red Bull Ring in Austria on June 27 and July 4, with the French Grand Prix moving a week earlier to June 20 to accommodate the move. The Turkish race promoters have requested F1 look into rescheduling the race to later in the season or to next year.
"We were all looking forward to racing in Turkey but the travel restrictions in place have meant we are not able to be there in June," Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, said in a statement.
"Formula 1 has shown again that it is able to react quickly to developments and find solutions and we are delighted that we will have a double header in Austria meaning our season remains at 23 races."

Summer is construction season on campus /
Current page: Summer is construction season on campus
Workers begin work to replace the roof on McBryde Hall.
The end of the spring semester means the beginning of construction and renovation season for the Virginia Tech campus. Work continues on several ongoing projects and construction on several new projects will begin.
"Many people might think that the Virginia Tech campus slows down during the summer, but in reality this is a very busy and critical time for renovation and construction work," said Sherwood Wilson, vice president for administration. "Much of this work can't be done during the academic year without significant impact to students and faculty."
Construction projects on campus this summer include:
Davidson Hall addition: Work on the $31 million addition is nearly complete and the Department of Chemistry will begin occupying the building in June. The 45,000 square foot facility will provide modern laboratory and research space.
Indoor Athletic Practice Facility: Construction of the $21 million practice facility will begin in June. It will be located on the existing football practice fields next to Lane Stadium. Construction is expected to be completed in summer 2015.
Kentland Farm: Site work has already begun for the relocation of the Dairy Program from Southgate Drive to the farm. Work will continue through the summer with completion expected in spring 2015.
Pritchard Hall: The residence hall will undergo nearly $3 million in renovations with parts of the building receiving new flooring as well as wheelchair accessible ramps and elevators. In addition, some rooms will be retrofitted to become offices and classrooms.
Signature Engineering Building: Some minor work on the building remains, but the College of Engineering will begin occupying the $95 million building in June. The building will house classroom, research and office space. Classes in the building will begin fall semester 2014.
Corps of Cadets Residence Hall: Foundation work for the new building is finishing up and construction of the concrete and steel building frame will begin this summer. The building will provide housing for the Corps of Cadets and is expected to be completed in summer 2015 at which time work on a second corps residence hall will begin.
Ten campus buildings will receive new fire alarm systems over the next year beginning with the Food Science and Technology Building this summer.
Renovations, repairs and maintenance will be done on several other buildings including: Campbell, Donaldson Brown, Harper, Hahn, Hillcrest, Lee, McBryde, Slusher, and Vawter halls. Work ranges from new roofs to interior improvements.
Landscape improvement include an overhaul of the area near East Eggleston and Owens halls and plantings along the Drillfield in front of Burruss Hall. A new seat wall will be built between the library and bookstore.

Baltimore Ravens New England Patriots
In this Article: Baltimore Ravens New England Patriots NFL
Patriots Notes: Players React To 'Tsunami' Weather In Win Over Ravens
Plus: Updates on a few New England newcomers
by Zack Cox
Some assorted notes and nuggets from the New England Patriots' 23-17 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night at Gillette Stadium:
— When asked after the game about the Patriots' stellar rushing performance, Cam Newton joked that Patriots coach Bill Belichick must have "either has a Staples easy button or a Buffalo Wild Wings button or just a straight, direct line to the football gods."
Belichick might have an in with Mother Nature, too.
The players were pounded by heavy rain and strong winds for much of the game, but the true, biblical, Jumanji-level downpour didn't begin until the moment Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense took the field with 65 seconds remaining, needing to travel 83 yards with no timeouts.
1 minute left in the game, Ravens need to drive to score, and this line is crossing Foxboro lol pic.twitter.com/qYZkNhu91I
— Red Sox Stats (@redsoxstats) November 16, 2020
Baltimore was flagged for holding on first down and never recovered. Rookie Kyle Dugger tackled J.K. Dobbins in bounds on third down to keep the clock rolling, and Dobbins dropped a pass on fourth down to seal the Patriots' most impressive win since Super Bowl LIII.
?It got progressively worse as the game went along," Belichick said in his postgame video conference. "It wasn?t bad at the beginning, and then just a little precipitation, a little rain there at the end."
Moments after the teams had cleared the field, the howling winds slowed and the monsoon became a drizzle.
It was just that kind of night for the Patriots.
Cam Newton In Awe Of 'Football Whisperer' Bill Belichick After Patriots Upset Ravens
Player opinion varied on the conditions, which wrecked the Ravens' offense at times (several blown shotgun snaps) but didn't seem to faze the Patriots, who played turnover-free football for the second consecutive week.
"I think when I was in college, I might have played in the rain once, and it never even compared to (Sunday night)," said running back Damien Harris, who rushed for a career-high 121 yards in the win. "I've always been like, ?I don't want to play in the rain.? It's just not my thing. I've never really had a reason to want to play in the rain. Some guys love that stuff, but I've always been kind of one of those guys. I prefer it to be, like, 65 and sunny.
"But being out there in that atmosphere and being a part of this team in such a special moment, including the weather."
Linebacker Chase Winovich, meanwhile, embraced it.
"At first, you kind of resist the rain in a sense, where it's like, OK, I?m going to try to stay dry enough that I tackle and your shoes don?t get soaking wet. But after a while, after enough rain, it?s just a matter of taking the approach (of): this is exactly how I want it to go. I want it to pour. I want it to be freezing cold.
"If you take your attitude and your opponent doesn?t, that gives you an edge. And if you take that attitude, that kind of infectious, I think, to your other teammates. So it was great. Playing in the rain was fun.?
Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, whose double-pass touchdown gave the Patriots a lead they would not relinquish, was pleasantly surprised by that play call given the wet weather.
Newton praised center David Andrews for his ability to deliver consistently accurate shotgun snaps.
"We had a couple close calls with trying to gather the snap," the quarterback said. "Obviously, it was a factor for them. But having the mentality to stay mentally tough throughout that whole tsunami it felt like, we just wanted to make sure that we do great things while we have the football, protecting the football, making great decisions.
"It affected just a throw or two for me. But just being in manageable situations kind of helps, too."
Cornerback J.C. Jackson said the Patriots are "built" for this type of game."
"The weather doesn't matter," said Jackson, whose interception late in the first half halted a Ravens scoring chance. "It doesn't matter where we're at, how the weather is, you've got to play football, man. We're built for this."
— Top cornerback Stephon Gilmore (knee) was inactive for the third consecutive game. Linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley (groin) sat out for the second straight week.
Defensive tackle Lawrence Guy (shoulder, elbow, knee) and wide receiver N'Keal Harry (concussion) returned after one- and two-game absences, respectively. Harry saw significant offensive playing time but was not targeted in the passing game (nor was fellow wideout Damiere Byrd).
Recently acquired receiver Isaiah Ford was active for the first time since joining the Patriots but did not play.
Harris played through chest and ankle injuries and enjoyed a career night, rushing for 121 yards on 22 carries.
Jermaine Eluemunor returned from a three-game stint on injured reserve but couldn't reclaim his starting right tackle spot. The Patriots stuck with rookie Mike Onwenu, who played every snap.
— New England operated with just one active tight end (Ryan Izzo) for the third consecutive game.
Newcomer Jordan Thomas was inactive — unsurprising since he's yet to practice with his new team — but was on the field pregame, catching passes from third-string quarterback Brian Hoyer as tight ends coach Nick Caley guided him through some of the finer points of New England's offense.

The Patriots claimed Thomas off waivers from the Arizona Cardinals earlier this week. The third-year pro will have the chance to make his New England debut next Sunday against the team that drafted him, the Houston Texans.
Izzo finished with one catch on one target — a key 20-yard catch-and-run that set up New England's first touchdown.

Rayonsteine sind Grenzsteine der ehemaligen Festungsrayons um Städte. Das Wort "Rayon" kommt aus dem Französischen und bedeutet so viel wie Umkreis oder Bereich. Mit diesen Grenzsteinen wurden verschiedene Bereiche eines Forts abgesteckt. Das Setzen der Rayonsteine einer Festung nannte man zusammengefasst auch "Absteinung".

Gesetzliche Verwendung
Im Gesetz, betreffend die Beschränkungen des Grundeigenthums in der Umgebung von Festungen  des Deutschen Reiches vom 21. Dezember 1871 ist in § 8 festgelegt: "Bei Neu-Anlage von Befestigungen werden die […] Rayons […] abgesteckt und durch feste Marken (Rayonsteine) bezeichnet."

Heutige Situation
Durch Waldarbeiten, Neubebauung oder Diebstahl findet man heute nur noch selten solche Steine. Die noch vorhandenen Steine sind meist im Erdreich versunken. Die ungefähren Maße eines Rayonsteins betragen 20 cm × 20 cm × 80 cm. Im Umfeld der Festung Köln konnten beispielsweise über 1200 Rayonsteine festgestellt werden.

Real Assets Adviser - February 1, 2023: Vol. 10, Number 2
Talking Points: Quotations from people in the news
by Mike Consol
Bob Iger, CEO of Walt Disney Co., on the decision to bring employees back to the office four days a week: "As you've heard me say many times, creativity is the heart and soul of who we are and what we do at Disney. And in a creative business like ours, nothing can replace the ability to connect, observe and create with peers that comes from being physically together."
Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta Air Lines: "We will be the most profitable airline in the industry, $2.6 billion of profit for 2022. We've just been through our recession, the deepest recession in this industry's 100-year history, and we're still coming out of that."
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations: "Two things were true for 30 years — China was going up and interest rates were going down, and those two things are reversing before our eyes and the repercussions are going to be astounding to watch. It's going to be painful."
Gene Munster, managing partner and co-founder of Loup Ventures, on Elon Musk's decision to give up the CEO role at Twitter: "It's a positive for Tesla because investors want him to be more involved with Tesla ... Over the last seven weeks as he's been more engaged with Twitter, and he's damaged Tesla's brand; he's become more political."
Severin Borenstein, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in the economics of renewable energy: "We happen to have seen more wind and solar in areas where markets have been deregulated. But I think that's more of a geographic and political phenomenon than a market phenomenon."
Tyler Norris, a senior executive at Cypress Creek Renewables: "Project developers are attracted to open wholesale electricity markets with price transparency, independent oversight and the ability to trade with multiple potential customers."
Ramin Nakisa, a former UBS analyst who now runs the consultancy PensionCraft: "Cathie Wood is very credulous — as long as there's a good narrative that goes with something, she's willing to believe it. You have to question whether she has that sanity check on companies' valuations, market share and potential profitability."
David Tepper, Appaloosa Management founder and president, on interest rate remarks from Fed chairman Jerome Powell and European Central Bank president Christine Lagarde: "The Fed came on and that it wasn't easy but he kind of projects like a teddy bear. You know, you wanna cuddle him when he speaks, so the market kind of cuddles. And then you have the ECB come out the next day, and she's like a grizzly bear, she's growling. She comes out and she says directly, 'Listen we're doing 50 [basis points] now, we're definitely doing 50 again next meeting, and then we're gonna do another 50 — and then we're likely to do another one after that, we'll see how the data goes.'"
Daniel Rasmussen, founder and chief investment officer of Verdad Advisers: "Institutions have fallen in love with private markets, lured by promises of higher returns and lower volatility. Allocations to VC have soared along with allocations to private equity, private real estate and private credit."
Joe Berlinger, director of a new Nexflix docuseries about Bernie Madoff and his financial crimes: "He's been mythologized as somebody who just incredibly did this on his own, but there were a lot of sophisticated investors who should have known better, and a lot of institutions — including J.P. Morgan Chase that had a view into his Ponzi scheme because they had billions of dollars flowing through one checking account — and a lot of institutions, due to greed, just looked the other way."
Sarah Golden, senior energy analyst at GreenBiz Group: "The difference between the resilience of renewable energy and fossil fuels is a matter of infrastructure that ensures delivery when we need it — not the technology itself. The Ukrainian War is an acute invitation to decouple energy systems from global politics."
Flo Rida, rap star on his decision to sue energy drink company Celsius for alleged breach of contract: "I'm an international star, so I'm the reason why you see this product in Dubai. I'm the reason why you see this product in Asia. I'm the reason why you see this product in 7-Eleven. Those people that came to my shows and seeing me performing, they see the passion and they know that I'm going to go all the way with this."
Jeffrey Hoffman, a cannabis attorney, expressing concern about New York's prospects as a legal marijuana market: "Cannabis right now is in recession, if not depression. If you want your regulated market to succeed, you have to make your legacy market a partner — not a competitor."
James Gorman, CEO of Morgan Stanley on the decision by COO Jonathan Pruzan — a candidate to become CEO — to leave the firm: "He has been a trusted adviser to me for many years, and has had a seat at the table and a voice in the decision-making process for many of the key decisions that the firm has made over the past decade."

Story: A tub at 1,870 metres above sea level
Admiring the mountains close to the sky
Spending a night in a cabin on the mountains of Ticino is a unique experience. The satisfaction of catching sight of the cabin roof, the well-deserved drink sipped at the stone table, the tasty dinner...
Here we are at 1,870 metres a.s.l., at the top of Blenio Valley just beyond Olivone, where Capanna Bovarina UTOE dominates the valley. You can observe from above Campo Blenio and the Luzzone dam, breathe the fragrant and pure mountain air and look straight into the sun.
THE CHARACTER
Yvonne and Loris Sonzogni, cabin keepers of the Capanna Bovarina UTOE
It's an excellent position: we're the only refreshment point between two hikes. Hikers arriving here just want to relax.
The two cabin keepers watch us as we come up the path winding through trees, ferns and - with a little luck - mushrooms. A vivacious, friendly and smiling couple who immediately make you feel at home, aided by the beautiful scenery, the tranquillity and the enthusiastic greetings of Mia, a 10-year-old English setter that has been with Yvonne and Loris right from the start in their ridge-top adventure. But how did this all start?
Loris used to work in insurance and then one day he lost his job. But, after his initial shock, that hard blow was followed by an idea: why not realise his long-cherished dream and open a grotto or a restaurant? And why not an alpine cabin?
So, while Yvonne continued to work in a shop in Prosito, in 2011, Loris began a series of internships in alpine cabins all over Switzerland: Schwyz, Valais, Grisons. The objective? To understand what not to do in their own cabin, starting from the relationship with guests: they are people, not numbers! Then, on completing his apprenticeship, everything went quickly.
"On 12 June we were asked: Do you want to go up to the cabin on the Adula? And on the 28th we started working. It was madness! The hut was scheduled to be closed and so we could only do better!", say with a laugh our two hosts who faced that challenge together.
"It's much easier as a couple".
After 3 years, they moved to Capanna Bovarina UTOE on the other side of the valley, halfway between Ritom lake and Capanna Scaletta.
"It's an excellent position: we're the only refreshment point between two hikes of about 6 hours each. Hikers arriving here just want to relax."
I was born in a restaurant, and I've always loved cooking and making the most of the ingredients.
Some come up to Capanna Bovarina just for lunch, because it's a place where you eat well.
Loris loves cooking, as you can see from the proud way he wears his apron. Polenta, risotto, stew, minestrone, pasta and cold cuts, with an emphasis on traditional dishes.
His specialty is polenta with leeks and cheese. Inside the hot polenta, the vegetables and cheeses blend and the end result is delicious!
Apart from the chef's skill, another important factor is the origin of the products: Loris and Yvonne apply local concept and try to buy everything they need in Blenio Valley.
"We want to create a supply chain in this region", they tell us.
From May to October, Yvonne and Loris welcome hikers every day with a hot plate or a comfortable bed.
On weekends in the colder months there is a tub full of hot water awaiting guests for a congenial open-air aperitif.
Capanna Bovarina is located on a SwitzerlandMobility MTB route, as well as one for hikers and another for snow-shoe trekkers.
But in Capanna Bovarina, it's not only humans that are happy, as animals are also welcome here: dogs, marmots, or even wooden statuettes.
The couple's shared passion is definitely dogs. Mia is a member of the family and has been with them all through these adventurous years.
Behind the cabin you notice a sign reading "Dog Bar" with a bowl where four-legged friends can quench their thirst.
"A dog bar at 1,870 m a.s.l."
The couple are very welcoming, calm and relaxed although their work is not always easy and, in the summer months, they work 16-hour days 7 days a week.
They have two helpers: Anna and Patrizia.
But maybe their best helper is their inner peace and quiet: a few years earlier they organised yoga sessions near a bench that was the perfect place to await the sunrise. Perhaps a special place?
We'll ask them another time. Now it's bedtime with lights out at 10 p.m. Tomorrow we have more miles to travel on the footpaths of Ticino.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Asian Development Bank President Takehiko Nakao has expressed his deepest condolences to the Thai people and Government upon the passing of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of the Kingdom of Thailand on 13 October.
"His Majesty demonstrated strong dedication to his people and worked tirelessly for the development and prosperity of Thailand over several decades. King Bhumibol's contributions to the Kingdom will be remembered by generations to come," Mr Nakao said.


In the late 1990s, para-Aramid and Kevlar materials were on the cutting-edge. Taking advantage of this technology, USSOCOM embarked on the Modular Integrated Communications Helmet (MICH) program. This produced the MICH TC-2000 head system, from which the first generation Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) was derived, developed and incorporated on-the-heels of the MICH initiative. Heralded as the future of head protection solutions, the ACH was quickly adopted by the U.S. Army and played a big role in the long-running Middle East campaigns[i]. With a streamlined shell, this helmet lowered the weight as compared to the long-standing, bulky Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops (PASGT) helmets, which dated back to the early-1980s[ii]. The first generation ACH was first fielded in 2003 and has been the U.S. Army helmet standard until this year, with little change to the late-'90s-era design.
Needless to say, a lot has changed in the decade-and-a-half since the first ACH procurement. Kevlar and Twaron helmets are now being phased out, and are seen as outmoded and cumbersome compared to innovations pushing the envelope of attainable weight reduction. New hybridized material applications are now at the vanguard of manufacturing, R&D, and head systems design. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPH) helmets, in particular, reduce weight dramatically while maintaining, and even elevating, ballistic, blunt force, impact, and fragmentation protection[iii]. This radical new playing field paved the way for the U.S. Army's 2017 ACH Gen II solicitation[iv].
Above: In March 2017, the U.S. Army selected Revision's advanced combat helmet solution for the ACH Gen II contract; this is the first large-scale ACH upgrade for the Army in 15 years.
Revision Military is at the forefront of this head systems revolution. Revision's standing as the standard-bearer of the industry was recently cemented with the announcement of the U.S. Army's selection for the ACH Gen II contract: This five-year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) helmet contract (W91CRB-17-D-0008), awarded on a full and open competition basis to Revision, has a maximum value of $98,111,803 and estimated completion date of March 6, 2022[v]. Down the line, the Integrated Head Protection System will include an enhanced helmet, a visor, a mandible that protects the lower jaw, and ballistic appliques that can be attached over the base helmet. The complete ensemble is scheduled to be fielded in 2020.
The stated goal of the upgrade program was to offer weight reduction with equal protection compared to the legacy helmet[vi]. Revision has more than accomplished that mission, and, in the process, has reinvigorated the traditional Advanced Combat Helmet, bringing this essential equipment in line with the realities of modern combat. Utilizing composite, hybridized UHMWPE material applications, Revision has manufactured a truly advanced infantry helmet that is up to 24% lighter than the legacy ACH system. The next-generation ACH solution submitted to and selected by the army is the basis for Revision's Batlskin Viper P4 Head Protection System, which uses the same shell architecture, advanced material applications, and cutting-edge manufacturing processes as the new U.S. Army ACH solution. In total, Revision's ACH innovation, and the Viper P4 helmet system, represent the first large-scale, significant advancement in ACH technology in 15 years.
In a hearing after the ACH Gen II contract announcement, Brig. Gen. Robert L. Marion, Deputy of Acquisition and Systems Management for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, told Senators that the helmet and other lightweight body armor items now being developed are among the Army's most promising new technologies[vii]. Revision is dedicated to re-envisioning military head systems with integrated technologies that feature pioneering raw materials, in a variety of designs and configurations, to exceed all customer requirements. With extensive knowledge of ballistics, electronics, optics, power, and other innovative technologies, Revision is a creative solutions provider, capable of designing and developing custom head protection solutions to meet the changing needs of global militaries.
Above: Through advanced material applications and cutting-edge manufacturing, Revision's ACH Gen II helmet solution offers up to 24% weight reduction as compared to the legacy ACH helmets currently fielded by the U.S. Army.
Since last contracted by the U.S. Army in 2012—when Revision delivered a total of 180,000 ACH helmets—Revision has invested millions of dollars in new manufacturing equipment and processes, research into the characterization and optimization of advanced ballistic materials, and in the building of a world-class team of scientists and engineers to evolve the Company's capabilities. Revision's core team of armor product development engineers for the ACH Gen II project averages 18 years of industry experience, with a scope of experience that includes a variety of perspectives on, and approaches to, helmet and armor technology, cost and value optimization, materials experimentation and testing, supplier relations, and in-field military human factors know-how. In addition to the core team, the ACH Gen II development initiative incorporated contributions from in-house subject matter experts in polymer chemistry, mechanical engineering, industrial design, composite component manufacturing, and lean manufacturing.
Additionally, since 2013, Revision's Newport, Vermont facility—where helmets for the ACH Gen II contract will be manufactured—has expanded by 16,000 sq. ft., and the number of employees that work at this facility has more than doubled. Revision has made substantial investments in new molding presses, added preform presses, increased chilling capacity, new molds, and increased cutting capacity. This supports an increase in overall PE manufacturing capacity by an additional 10,000 helmets per month. Since incorporating these new materials UHMWPE within the Company's armor and helmet production portfolio, Revision has worked extensively with suppliers to master the manufacturing nuances of this advanced material, and has successfully delivered on several significant contracts for tape-based UHMWPE products with both U.S. Military and international customers. The tape-based polyethylene solution selected for the Viper P4 head system provides excellent high velocity fragmentation protection, as well as superior 9mm RTP, compression, and impact resistance, with minimal to no change in ballistic performance at extreme temperatures—whether soldiers are wearing this helmet in the Arctic or at the equator, the performance and protection will be consistent.
Over Revision's history, the Company has delivered 1.1 million helmets to the U.S. military, with an additional 300,000 helmets internationally. Across all of these program deliveries, Revision has never received a single warranty claim for product malfunction or defect, has never had to recall a single faulty product—particularly relevant in the ACH Gen II solicitation, considering the recalls that plagued previous suppliers in recent years—and has never failed a single Lot Acceptance or First Article test.
Leading up to the ACH Gen II contract win, a number of important contracts have solidified Revision as a major player in the worldwide helmet industry, particularly in the European protective equipment market. In early 2016, Revision (UK) began operations in Bristol, England, the newest office in the Revision portfolio and a hub for European operations. This new facility will further Revision's ongoing contract with the British Army to deliver their next generation head system—the head-subsystem (HSS) portion of the VIRTUS Program. With this win in the autumn of 2015, Revision unseated the decades-long supplier for the British Army. Revision's HSS solution incorporates a bespoke Batlskin Cobra® Plus helmet, ballistic visor and mandible, and Sawfly® and Wolfspider® eyewear. In two years' time, over 54,000 Cobra Plus helmets will have been issued. This high-performance helmet now in use by the British Army is also constructed from hybridized layers and UHMWPE materials. The result is a helmet that provides up to a 10% increase in fragmentation protection over previous Kevlar shells, with up to 20% weight reduction.
Revision has also been a major contributor to USSOCOM's next-generation Special Operations Forces (SOF) helmet program—the Family of Tactical Headborne Systems (FTHS) development project—which kicked-off at the beginning 2016, extending through a development and several testing periods, and culminating with the official solicitation in 2017. Revision was awarded a development contract in July 2016, helping shape the official industry solicitation in 2017. For this program, Revision upended the traditional methods of head systems development, working directly and collaboratively with SOF operators and incorporating feedback from a spectrum of special forces experience into a ground up solution—Revision's skeletonized, scalable Batlskin Caiman™ Head Systems suite.
Beyond head systems and eyewear, Revision's scope of capabilities has also expanded to include a thriving Power & Integrated Systems business unit dedicated to generating cutting-edge lithium-ion solo and shared soldier-worn energy management solutions—lightweight and durable Nerv Centr SoloPack™ and Nerv Centr SharePack® systems that treat energy like water or ammunition, as a conservable resource that can be harvested, stored, shared, and used flexibly, thus reducing cabling and the overall weight burden on soldiers in the field—and large-scale vehicular power platforms--integrated Silent Watch Battery Packs that deliver 200 amps to power-hungry armored vehicles for 8 hours in the harshest environmental conditions, ensuring that thermal and acoustic signatures are managed.
Revision's Viper P4 Helmet System represents the future of hybridized UHMWPE technology, and utilizes the same lightweight shell architecture as the solution selected by the U.S. Army for the ACH Gen II contract.
The Batlskin Viper P4 Head System will be available in November 2017.

Creating images of things I find beautiful and sharing them with others in the hope they too enjoy them. Being the best I can be, but knowing when I'm not, I can fix it. Taking each day and being responsible for my thoughts, my actions, and my words. Taking care of this little piece of the Earth that I live on and keeping it healthy.
What does Carpe Diem mean to you? There's no wrong answer. Just an opportunity to explore what you want today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your life.
