After China's Manufacturing PMI tumbled to 8mo lows overnight (joining Japan in its demise to 13mo lows), US Manufacturing PMI for July has not been weaker since Dec 2017.
Markit's Manufacturing PMI signals stagflation with output prices at their highest since June 2011, production slide, and supplier delivery times fall to a record low.
"The US manufacturing sector continued to expand in July , but shows increasing signs of struggling against headwinds of supply shortages, rising prices and deteriorating exports.
Does that sound like a sustainable 4% economy?
By Mike Wackett (The Loadstar) – A steel cutting ceremony took place in China last week on the hulls of the first two ships of CMA CGM's order for nine 22,500 teu LNG-powered ULCVs, featuring a potentially game-changing bow design.
Alongside similar ULCVs being constructed for MSC in South Korea, these behemoths will be the largest containerships afloat, and the first to extend to 24 containers  across the weather deck.
The French carrier's new flagships will also be the first constructed with a "bulbless" bow, as the container line commits its future to slow-steaming.
An elegant protruding bulb shape at the bow has been a feature of containerships for decades, but the new tugboat-like design could become the new normal on liner trades where lower unit costs have won out over fast transit times.
The bulbous bow works by creating an artificial wave, modifying the water flow around the hull, which reduces drag and increases speed and fuel efficiency. Studies have put the fuel efficiency gain at up to 15% at near full speed.
However, consultant Alphaliner notes, the advantages of a bulbous bow containership – more complex and therefore more expensive – have waned with the advent of slow-steaming in the past decade, causing the fuel efficiency percentage gain to drop significantly.
Moreover, vessels that sail at less than full draught – with backloads of empty containers, for example – also see the advantages of a bulbous bow eroded.
This has prompted the retrofitting of replacement bows, designed specifically to be more efficient at slower speeds, to a number of container vessels over the past few years.
Alphaliner also notes that, at the time of CMA CGM's $1.2bn order in September, the images released of the ULCVs were of a conventional bulbous bow design. New images, provided at Hudong Zhonghua Shipyard cutting ceremony, show a vertical stem design.
Notwithstanding the unit cost advantage of deploying LNG-powered vessels, CMA CGM is clearly seeking every opportunity to ensure its new ships will be the most cost-efficient in the industry.
Since September, the price of IFO 380 heavy fuel oil has risen from some $320 per tonne to $440, and with predictions of further spikes to come, the rise in the cost of bunkers is currently the biggest risk to sustained profitability in the industry. German rating agency Scope said this week it expects a rise of about 25% in bunker prices this year, compared with 2017, "squeezing the thin profit margins" of carriers.
"Increased crude oil and bunker prices and flat shipping rates will continue to put severe pressure on the operating profitability of older, less-efficient vessels," said the Scope report.
Moreover, with the IMO's 0.5% sulphur cap regulations coming into force on 1 January 2020, ocean carriers must endeavour to future-proof their fleets from the impact of a further potential 50% jump in fuel costs.
America is going to be Trump's 5th bankruptcy.
Agelbert NOTE: Mike Mish Shedlock is correct that Trump is dead wrong to start a trade war. That said, the hit that US LNG exporters 秊練 (Cheniere, Tellurian Inc. and other LNG developers) are taking by China jacking up tariffs on LNG is a good thing overall. WHY? Because it makes Renewable Energy products (which have ALWAYS been distributed, local and non-exportable for profit over people and planet) become much cheaper in comparison with polluting hydrocarbon energy products.
Mike Mish Shedlock: Some of my readers praise Trump for these actions on the basis he needs to "fight fire with fire". Such thoughts are complete silliness.
As I have stated dozens of times, if China is supplying the US with cheap steal, cheap solar panels, cheap whatever, we should be grateful.
Once again, this is indisputable: Standards of living rise when more goods are available at a cheaper price.
You don't get much props for predicting something after it happened. This is sort of lame: "I knew that would happen. I didn't say it, but I knew it." So, I'm going out on a short limb and am making a prediction here in the open while the market remains irrational.
Well, to be honest, you don't get much props for predicting something that someone else already predicted either. I'm just going on some simple, direct statements from a person who has shown for years that he's exceedingly honest and often provides hints of things he knows are coming months in advance. He has also accomplished — several times — things that experts said were "impossible." The task at hand here is not at all impossible.
That said, the stock market is acting as though Tesla CEO Elon Musk is either an idiot or a liar. In the age of a reality TV president, I guess this is par for the course, but it is shocking me yet again. If you're just skimming the headlines and major media commentary about Tesla this week, you may well think Musk's plan to take Tesla private is a dishonest, impractical, highly unlikely scheme. Perhaps you even think Musk is going to jail, just because the SEC is doing one of its basic jobs — very likely nothing more than some simple due diligence. Headline after headline makes it seem like a serious SEC investigation is growing and growing, but then I look into the details and nothing notable has changed. From what I have read, they are checking with Musk to make sure he does indeed have financing secured (as he tweeted) to take Tesla private. Given that he followed that up with the statement that all that was really a question mark at this point was whether shareholders voted for the plan — that doesn't sound like someone I know to be honest fudging the facts.
So, no, I'm not concerned that Musk was serious. My first assumption isn't that Musk was manipulating the market and has no one lined up to finance taking Tesla private. I don't beat animals, dead or alive, but to further emphasize a point that I think doesn't need to be emphasized: Musk has said for years that Tesla would probably be better as a private company, and he reportedly tried to convince Japan's SoftBank last year about helping to make this happen. In other words, the man has been working on this for a while. This is not a joke. The chance that he did indeed get enough of a financial commitment to bring this proposal to the Tesla board of directors and the public is close to 100%, in my humble opinion. If you absolutely think that's not true, you may as well skip the rest of this article.
Now, let me be clear — there's very little info out there about how these institutional investors view the offer. Even for large shareholders, like Baillie Gifford, that think Tesla is worth far more than $420, it's unclear if they have limitations that would prevent them from carrying over a large portion of their shares in a private Tesla. Furthermore, some may simply prefer the public accountability and stock market pricing system — even if that means a lot of FUD bringing the brand down.
As it goes, experts in the field who I respect seem to be throwing their hands up and just guesstimating that 50% of those institutional shares would transfer over to private shares. If you add that onto Elon Musk's 20%, Tencent's 5%, and the Saudi Arabia Wealth Fund's 2%, you're at about 54% of the shares. If you cautiously (I'd say pessimistically) consider that half of the remaining retail investors are interested in going private, that's 64%.
Now, this is not an evaluation of whether shareholders will vote for Tesla to go private. Again, perhaps many of those institutional investors would rather Tesla stay public. However, if you assume that the shareholders do vote to go private, there's another very interesting matter to consider here. Actually, this is a matter that could be highly relevant even before the vote.
A "short squeeze" is sort of, kind of like a "run on the bank" (which you've probably learned about from It's a Wonderful Life). Basically, if a company you're shorting has strongly positive news, it would be smart of you to immediately buy back the share you borrowed and lent out. The stock price is likely to jump up, and if you wait too long, you're going to have to buy that share back for much more than you lent it out.
The Tesla [TSLA] stock price jumped up rapidly earlier this week when there was news of the Saudi Arabia wealth fund investment and then more so when Musk tweeted about potentially taking Tesla private at $420/share. But a couple of interesting things happened. First, trading was halted for a couple of hours. This is standard in the situation we were in, but the point is that it gave everyone some time to think about the news and decide what to do. The much more interesting thing is that by and large short sellers by and large didn't cover — they didn't start buying back shares they loaned out.
This gets us back to the top of this article. Short sellers   didn't buy the news. They seemingly didn't believe that Musk would take Tesla private and that he had financing lined up (they've been claiming he lied about that). Some others seemed to think $420 was a ceiling for their losses anyway, but that theory doesn't appear to be grounded in reality from what I've read. We'll get to that in a second.
I, like Gene Munster, think that shareholders will vote to take Tesla private (or delist it if that's what we're actually talking about). Since some major shareholders think Tesla is worth far more than $420/share and since this will be the last chance for many people to buy into Tesla — for a long time at least (since it is going to be much, much harder to buy shares in private Tesla than in public Tesla) — I think the share price will jump. People who don't plan to hold onto the stock would hold at least until $420 since Tesla would cash out their shares at that price.
Meanwhile, short sellers will finally get the message: Yes, Tesla is going off the market, and they need to buy back the shares they loaned out in order to return them to their rightful owners. Furthermore, they should finally understand that $420 is not a cap on the buyback price for them. If the stock price jumps to $1000 because people value private shares in Tesla that high, then they still need to buy back the shares they don't really own in order to return them to owners.
Furthermore, if the price gets up that high, the privatization deal may get dropped or have to be revised. $420 is not a ceiling. In fact, it's more of a floor for short sellers if the deal moves forward.
So, we are back to the point that approximately 35 million TSLA shares are shorted right now. If there's a sprint for the door, those short sellers will be fighting to buy shares back — and shareholders can wait as long as they like to sell them back. If they think the share price will go up to $500, they can wait till then. Furthermore, if they value the private shares at $2000 each, they may have no interest in playing games and selling to shorts until the price is $2001. Institutional investors surely understand this. Many of the retail investors understand this. Who the heck is going to sell a short a share for $420? You must be high to think that's going to happen in a large volume.
I watched that video after writing this article. Even if you read the full piece above, I recommend watching it. A tip of the hat to JRP3 for sharing it.
Update: This article was updated shortly after publishing to fix a couple of errors.
On the small island of Yap in the western Pacific Ocean, large stone discs up to 12 feet (3.6 meters) wide are the local form of money and tend to be used for large purchases. Other unusual forms of money worldwide include time hours, a legal form of currency that allows tasks such as childcare or auto repairs to be bartered for other services. A modern form of currency known as Bitcoins was developed in the early 2010s as the first completely decentralized form of electronic currency that is accepted by some ecommerce websites.
• Historically, the most valuable items for bartering have included shells, tobacco, tea leaves, animal fur and salt.
• In 1991, the town of Ithaca, New York, developed Ithaca Hours, a form of currency in which each piece of currency is worth the average wage of one hour of work.
• Areas that develop their own forms of money commonly cite their main reasons as fostering a sense of community and independence as well as having a poor economy.
Capitalism Is Not the "Market System"
Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: Americans are once again discussing capitalism versus socialism. Fortunately, they are not doing so in the old Cold War manner of uncritically celebrating one while demonizing the other. For clarity and to make progress in this important debate, we must address the problems and differences in how we understand its basic terms.

The 1952 adaptation is missing all eight episodes and the 1960 adaptation is missing three of its eight episodes.

Plot
The series begins with Mary Lennox (played by Sarah Hollis Andrews) being abandoned by residents of a house, due to fears of cholera, and found by some soldiers. She is sent to her uncle's residence, Misselthwaite Manor. She befriends his maids and meets a boy named Dickon. One night she hears crying, and leaves her room to investigate; thereby she meets Colin, her cousin. Colin is bedridden and thinks he is a hunchback, but learns this is not true. He begins to go outside, spending time with Dickon and Mary in the gardens. Mary finds a key and finds a hidden door as well, and learns that behind the wall is a secret garden that her uncle's wife had worked on every day until she died, so he hid the key and the door. Colin learns to walk; Mary's uncle learns of this, and the series ends with her uncle and Colin walking with each other.

Episode list

Theme music
The soundtrack features a solo oboe playing "The Watermill" by Ronald Binge.

Reception
The drama was nominated for a British Academy Television Award in 1976 in the drama/entertainment category, and in 1979 it was nominated in the children's entertainment series category at the 1979 Daytime Emmy Awards.

Report on the Jubilee Zambia Debt Campaign Opinion poll
DEBT CAMPAIGN.pdf (1.632Mb)
Jubilee Zambia
The World Bank and the IMF launched the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative of debt reduction in 1997 in an attempt to address the debt problems of severely indebted low-income countries. As of January 2002, Zambia's total foreign debt stock stands at US$5.8 billion dropping from US$6.5 billion, due to debt cancellation and relief. This paper seeks to generate information on public perception and knowledge on debt problem that will aid Jubilee Zambia plan its work and have a better understanding on the cancel the debt campaign. The survey employed a quota sampling methodology with quotas set between males and females. Face to face interviews were conducted in Lusaka, Chongwe, Kafue, Kabwe, Livingstone, Mongu and Ndola. A total of 1626 people were interviewed and from these, 52% were male and 48% female. The majority of the respondents (60%) reported that they have heard about the Jubilee 'Cancel the debt' campaign while 40% said they did not. The majority (67%) think that Zambia should not continue paying its debt. The majority of respondents (66%) are not aware that the HIPC resources have started coming to Zambia. Most of the respondents (49%) think that HIPC resources will never reach the poor people in Zambia. The most of the respondents (47%) want the church and NGO to monitor HIPC resources. The survey revealed that many people support the concern on the lack of transparency and accountability in the use of HIPC resources across the country. For the reparation campaign to be enhanced, citizens especially women and young people need to be provided with information related to the origin of Zambia's external Debt.

Debt Campaign
This is a report on the opinion poll, which was conducted late December 2001 and early January 2002 in seven districts of Zambia. The opinion poll was supervised by M and N Associates Limited on behalf of the Jubilee Zambia Movement. Jubilee Zambia is part of the CCJP/JCTR Debt project with a specific focus on Zambia's debt problem. It started in 1998 as part of the worldwide movement to lobby the creditor countries and the international financial Institutions to cancel the un-payable debts of impoverished countries of the world by the year 2001.The main goal of the campaign is to achieve effective and equitable debt cancellation that results in poverty reduction.

A new year means a new opportunity to leave behind the old and embrace the new. When you're deciding what home design trends you should incorporate into your home, be strategic and purposeful with your approach and stick with designs that you love and that fit and reflect your personal style. Consider which materials you want to use, what color pallet sparks joy and in what areas of your home are you looking to spruce up. If you're looking for a few tips, check out these top home design trends that are going to be a huge hit this year.
The whole rustic, farmhouse trend is taking a step back and in its place comes the rise of natural elements throughout the home. Incorporating fresh, natural materials such as concrete, copper, stone, and granite help bring an organic and serene vibe to any space.
It's all about being strategic and purposeful when decorating. Utilizing timeless pieces that evoke emotion and spark joy is more important than a clutter-filled space.
There's a sore of floral wallpaper being exposed this year on accent walls throughout the home. From nurseries, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living rooms this timeless decor pattern is up and coming and sure to make a statement.
Think bold indigo, emerald green and dark teal for pops of color in your living space. Incorporate this trend with a green velvet couch, a jewel-toned rug or abstract painting.
Exposed lighting is beginning to be a thing of the past. Now, vintage pendants, sconces, and brassy finished light fixtures are becoming the popular choice in lighting.
Four-poster beds (or canopy beds) bring in a sense of comfort and style in your bedroom. Finding a slim, minimalistic silhouette is key for fitting in without taking up too much space or becoming overpowering.
Another vintage design trend that's making a comeback is bucket sinks. These trough-like sinks fit any design style whether farmhouse or modern design concepts and add a little touch of nostalgia to any bathroom or kitchen design.
Make a little more impact in the kitchen with a punch of color. Simple backsplashes have had a good run over the years, so it's time bolder colors and graphic tiles take over.

Obama's War On Cops Rages: 2 Officers Gunned Down
Tiffany LayneFebruary 28, 2017
One Southwest Houston neighborhood is on lock-down as are several local schools after another call to police has ended in gunfire.
Obama maybe out of office, but his war on cops rages on. This is just one more incident to showcase the growing danger police face.
Right now swat teams are combing neighborhoods looking for suspects.
As Fox News Reports:
Officers approached a home after a reported burglary, sources tell FOX 26 News reporter Isiah Carey. Mayor Sylvester Turner says the suspects were still in the area when officers arrived and shooting broke out. Two officers were shot. One of the officers was shot multiple times and suffered a shot to his spine. One of the suspects is dead.
Officer Jose Munoz, who has served with HPD for ten years, was taken to Ben Taub Hospital and is in stable condition. Officer Ronny Cortez, who has served with HPD for 24 years, was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital – Texas Medical Center and is listed in critical condition.
As a result of the search for the suspect, the following schools have been locked down near the crime scene:
Gross Elementary
The Houston Community College Brays Oaks Campus has also been locked down as a precaution.
According to Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, one of the officers lived on the street where the burglary occurred. He was apparently the first to respond. Turner said the suspects had several stolen guns and they opened fire on the officers when they approached a backyard shed.
Officer Cortez reportedly has a bullet lodged near his spine. This could prove to be a complicated injury for the veteran officer.
It's true that police go into this job knowing it can be life-threatening.
It's truer that since Obama, the threats are faster and more furious. The question is, "When will it end?"
We know Trump will put a stop to this war soon. Even if it has to begin one city at a time.
As we previously reported, such violence will never be accepted in a Trump administration. Meanwhile, two more officers have been added to the victim count.
Stay tuned for more information as this breaking story develops.

Q: error with free(): invalid next size (fast) I'm working on a project involving interpolation, I've implemented my interpolating functions as classes, and when I try to run my piecewise interpolation algorithm I'm getting the following error message: free(): invalid next size(fast) with a memory address.
The relevant part of my main function is:
double * xx = new double [n];
xx[0] = a;
xx[n - 1] = b;
for (int i=1; i<n - 1; i++) xx[i] = (rand() % 1000) * (b - a) / 1000 + a;
PwLin pv1 (n, a, b, 1, xx, 1);
PwLin pv2 (n, a, b, 2, xx, 1);
PwLin pv3 (n, a, b, 3, xx, 1);

...
cin >> x;
cout << pv1.eval(x) << '\t' << abs(f1(x, 1) - pv1.eval(x)) << endl;
cout << pv2.eval(x) << '\t' << abs(f2(x, 1) - pv2.eval(x)) << endl;
cout << pv3.eval(x) << '\t' << abs(f3(x, 1) - pv3.eval(x)) << endl;

The PwLin class is
class PwLin
{
double * xl, * yl, * h;
double a, b;
int n;
bool uni;
public:
double eval(double);
PwLin(int, double, double, int, double);
PwLin(int, double, double, int, double *, double);
~PwLin(){};
};

and the eval() function is
double PwLin::eval(double x)
{
int i=0;
while (x > xl[i]) i++;
if (uni == 1){
return (yl[i - 1] * (xl[i] - x) + yl[i] * (x - xl[i - 1])) / h[0]; }
else return (yl[i - 1] * (xl[i] - x) + yl[i] * (x - xl[i])) / h[i];
}

I've searched a bit and found that the free(): invalid next size error is caused by a memory leak, but I have no idea where it is.  When I run the function the error doesn't occur until I enter an x value to test, so it seems to be an issue with the eval() function rather than the constructor, but I don't have any memory actions at all in eval() or in the while loop, I have no idea what the problem is.
and uh, I installed ubuntu last week and have no idea how to use it, I'm using gedit which afaik has no debugging utility and if there's anything fancier in ubuntu I don't know what it is

A: This may not fix any of your problems, but ...
These lines can easily lead to out of bounds access.
int i=0;
while (x > xl[i]) i++;

You should replace them with:
int i = 0;
for ( ; i < n; ++i )
{
   if ( x >= xl[i] )
   {
      break;
   }
}

Deal with the case when you have gone through all the items in xl.
if ( i == n )
{
   // can't interpolate. Do something about it.
}

After the adventurous elephant safari (last post) where we saw a one-horned Indian rhinoceros, we went on a dugout canoe trip on the Rapti and a walk in the jungle. The dugout is hollowed from a single long tree trunk and can hold around 15 people. It is narrow and quite shallow, we had to squat single-file at the bottom of the canoe. The tour guide instructed us to sit still and not make any sudden movement because that might capsize the canoe. As we glided down the Rapti, he pointed to the banks. There were large gharials and mugger crocodiles quietly sunning themselves. I quickly withdrew my hand I was trailing in the water. I fancied a croc eyeing me for lunch through half closed eyes.
At the end of an hour on the Rapti, we landed on the opposite bank and began our jungle walk. This was another unique Chitwan experience in the company of our guide, an experienced naturalist and tracker. He cut an impressive figure with a jaunty hat on his head, a pair of binoculars hanging from his neck and a stout bamboo stick in his hand. He told us what to do and what not to do. In particular, what to do should we run into a rhino or tiger. I filed this in my memory and prayed that his bamboo stick would suffice, if needed. But, just in case, I kept my eyes on the nearest tree to climb, if needed. He pointed out scats, birds, trees and plants, many with medicinal value.
We walked for a couple hours observing the flora and fauna of Chitwan. Seeing the jungle on foot is a totally different experience from seeing it on an elephant or in a Jeep. It is more raw and intimate, but naturally more tiring and you cover less ground. After walking for a couple hours, we were tired and ready for a breather which we got at the elephant breeding center. Here, elephants are bred and trained for use as safari elephants. There were a few cute baby elephants with their mothers and their playful antics were a joy to watch. They are given elephant treats; balls of rice, molasses and salt wrapped in leaves which they greatly enjoy.
We drove back to Sauraha and around dusk, sat on a high ledge on the river bank and watched the sun set, the colors reflected in the shimmering waters of the Rapti. The darkening jungle was on the other side and we watched as the colors faded in the gathering gloom and the night time sounds of the forest began to pick up. It was a befitting end to my stay in Chitwan.
The next day I left for Kathmandu where I saw Swayambhunath (a Buddhist stupa), and the old temples and buildings of Durbar Square. I paused to reflect on the centuries of history around me. These have stood for a long time. From Kathmandu I flew to India and then to the US. I realized that I had spent eight days without cellphone or email, I had not missed them at all. I had spent eight, very pleasant days in Nepal wholly devoted to enjoying the scenery, the wildlife and relaxing. Since I was traveling solo, I had more time and opportunity to interact with the locals and learn about their life in an ancient land. Traveling solo also enabled me to set the agenda and travel at my own pace, a definite plus. I returned relaxed, refreshed, with many good memories, photos, stories and a fresh look on life.
The earthquake in Nepal led me to introspect and refocus. Many of the ancient temples that I saw in Durbar Square are now a heap of rubble. I made several friends in Pokhara, Chitwan and Kathmandu. Are they alive and well? I do not know.
We see wars, revolutions and social unrest destroying priceless artifacts, museums and historic sites. We may not always appreciate that natural disasters like earthquakes, avalanches and volcanic eruptions can suddenly wipe out cities and ancient monuments in minutes. Life is ephemeral. Enjoy, wisely.

Planet Appearance
Author Topic: Planet Appearance (Read 441 times)
Plasmic Physics
Just an idea, but could the albedo be linked to the combined luminosity (HLS colour model) and reflectivity of a planet's water, land and atmosphere? This results in a planet with 0 albedo to appear black, with a matte solid surface, and a planet with 1 albedo appears white, with a gloss surface.
And what about linking the air density to the opacity of the atmosphere? This would result in being able to observe how the atmosphere of Venus gradually becomes clearer with lower air pressure. I think that it would also be good to add a disable button for people who like to have it their way.

Re: Planet Appearance
Does any one else think that these are good ideas?
It would be an excellent idea, yet worth the development.
Vtron
This would be a very good idea, and very applicable to places as dark as TRES-2b, and as bright as Enceladus. Another thing that should be added to the appearance, is new textures, to have it be much more diverse. For earth like planets you can have sets like cratery textures, rift-abundant textures, and textures featuring plate tectonics. For the gas giants you can have textures with storms like Jupiter, with clean bands like Saturn, and completely featureless like Uranus.
I also think it would be a good idea for there to be a public texture library, where skilled artists and players use certain programs or tools (such as blender), to make textures that are realistic and yet creative. I say this because I feel like we lost a lot of creative freedom with the textures, all the planets look bland, as the rocky ones all look cracked, and the gas giants look too soft. I think it would be good for there to be a texture library to allow artists and players to make such textures, and then maybe the software engineers of Universe Sandboy may incorporate the elle te that change such as melting, cratering, and storm movement. This would make universe sandbox 2 have the same texture freedom as the first game, yet with the more advanced features.
Let me knoe your thoughts...
Yup that would all work, though it's quite a work in process, though US2 has gone so far since its legacy versions.
Another thing to add though is the effect rotation ould have on the shape of the planets, such as oblateness, though that's also dependent on materials as we can spin a bowling ball so fast that even still we can't detect any oblateness though if it were really flexible it could become more oblate.
Cratered textures would at the very least depend on the age of the host body and on the density of the atmosphere - a thick atmosphere suggests an increased weathering potential which is compounded by the age of the system, which correlates roughly with the age of the host body.
Recent evidence indicate that plate tectonics, including rifting, is only possible in a body with a surface elasticity below a certain maximum, controlled by surface temperature, which excludes Venus; and in bodies with a crustal dynamic friction coefficient below a maximum, typically controlled by water content. However, these requirements are reduced for bodies which are subjected to extraordinary tidal forces.
Perhaps these things, including oblateness, could be estimated rather than being calculated precisely using factors already present in USB like composition, temperature, tangential velocity, density, etc, and using averages to calibrate the equations?
Yup, all of that sounds true.
Also what'd be cool is an oblateness lock which locks the degree of oblateness to keep it the same regardless of the rotational velocity.
I know that sounds unrealistic, but anything's possible if you believe it.
Do you mean like the lock on the automatic radius calculation? I don't think that it sounds unrealistic - a user may not approve of the accuracy of the simulation's rough prediction for a particular body, and may opt to force an empirical value.
I have an idea of how both tidal deformation and oblation can be modeled. Model a body as a highly symmetrical polyhedral node net (such as dodecahedron), covered in an elastic smoothed 2D skin that can deform with the underlying net, with every node being attracted only to its immediate neighbours. Then have the equilibrium distance between nodes affected by external and internal forces. This would avoid having to deal with hydrodynamics by treating the body as a system of nodes and springs. This is similar to how nano-scientists and statistical physicists deal with surface tension of micro-sizes droplets. Shortcuts are a wonderful tool.
I believe that this could even be used to refine the visuals of how a body breaks apart when it enters a Roche limit or is impacted by another body sending fragments away. You will be able to see how the net is stretched beyond its elastic limit before the fragment separates, leaving a hole that would slowly fill in as the net reforms it self to replace the lost nodes.
« Last Edit: July 03, 2019, 02:46:07 AM by Plasmic Physics »
Now Earth's oblateness is 0.0033528590034 (0.33528590034%) based on measurements.
While some might not notice that from a big perspective, it's definitely 7 pixels larger than its polar diameter assuming it takes up 2160 pixels, so the polar diameter taking up 2160 px of the screen means the equatorial diameter would take up 2167 px of the screen, definitely visible to the naked eye (yet especially for people rotating/tilting the view), though it's definitely not much of a difference.
Still significantly important though.
Yet Earth's crust is 50 km thick in the continental areas and 5 km thick in the oceanic areas, so not exactly 2 dimensional(which would be a thickness of 0).
Now speaking of roche limit, we know it was a theory that large objects break up when too close to other large bodies due to tidal forces, and we witnessed that happen with the breakup of Shoemaker Levy-9 before its collision with Jupiter.
Now some other things (like the ISS for example don't break up by Earth's tidal forces, so not everything breaks up, therefore depends on consistency, mass, and also size, as many bigger bodies experience tidal forces distributed.
Yet Earth isn't a perfect elastic, but a nest of solids and liquids. with the crust being solid (and somewhat brittle) rock and the mantle somewhat solid, but slightly fluid, and the core being a near-spherical chunk.
Therefore within the roche limit, the crust would obviously break apart first before the mantle and core do, and it definitely wouldn't look like spaghetti (it wouldn't stretch a whole lot before you notice any fragmentation or glowing orange of melting and magma exposed, unlike putty, though definitely noticeable).
« Last Edit: July 03, 2019, 02:12:17 PM by Gregory »
Mmm... Perhaps bodies could be modeled by a double layered net, with the outer net having a higher tensile strength. It would be nice to see a giant, deep crater appear where a chuck of of a body comes away, before the it gradually fills in with magma.The bigger and more fluid (gas and liquid) the body, the faster it would do so. US2 team would probably want to be taking a step by step approach with something like this, and I would be happy with a very rough alpha version of this kind of thing that is refined over a series of micro-steps.
Yup, and it would take a lot of work to be involved, and bugs are expected, as development continues.
Yet not everything's the same material though still made of matter.
The above answers are a great step as well.
Universe Sandbox 2 is my favourite simulator.

This is a very good idea. A 0 albedo should not make the planet appear black and 1 albedo should not make planet appear white either.
However, there is a much better way to put your idea to something which makes more sense. Let me give you an example. A 0 albedo would make the planet look matt, like matt paint, and a 1 albedo would make the planet look glossy, like glossy paint. So, the amount of albedo you add, anywhere between 0 and 1 should make a contrast of matt and gloss. So, if you set your albedo level on any planet at 0.50, then the planet would look satin, like satin paint.
The level of albedo is made to control temperature and greenhouse effects as well as controlling the amount of physical reflection and shininess of an object.
Why does albedo not correlate with the surface luminosity of a body, when albedo is defined as a measure of the diffuse reflectivity of radiation; and surface luminosity is defined within colour science as a measure of both the reflectivity and scattering of visible radiation, keeping in mind that 'luminosity as used here, refers to the whiteness/blackness according to the HLS colour model?

They have seen these people out in the bay having a incredible time joyriding their jetskis and, to cut it short, having a truly great time. And they want to be like them, so create the decision to obtain some of those lovely small watercraft of their own.
But consider a few of the best destinations to buy usedjet skis? You may not wish to transaction a brand new jet ski because you are unsure what type you need, and wish a little something to know with - you might not really make sure in the event you will require to it, also it may not even be for you! The jet ski you are searching to purchase can be for somebody else, a son or daughter possibly, but this is really a good deal of ifs and you also just need to find the most effective spot to locate the best jet ski for that situation.
a) By word of mouth - your partner, kids or perhaps a neighbor or workmate has heard about this person that has a jet ski to sell. He has got himself a new one and selling the old one. Is the fact that a excellent source? Can be, can not be, you really don't discover one of the ways or the additional. How do we comprehend? You aren't an expert on watercraft, and neither are your children, just what to do?
b) Glance up the classified ads inside your local paper, and will visit a handful of there. Nevertheless, that's just a, above, increased a handful of times. You'll still can't tell a beneficial acquire from the undesirable one, and they are counting on the vendor being honest with you. Forget all you think, even an individual selling a excellent jet ski will say what they think you'll need to hear.
c) Boat yards! Superb idea, so off you visit your favorite boat yards and exactly what do you find? Not just one jet ski. Boat yards don't normally have jet skis as folks tend to provide them by themselves.
Where can be a excellent spot to glance for used jet skis? Web-based obviously! Except if it's something you will need the same day, the internet is probably the very best place to purchase anything today! Good choices, charges and aftersales service would be the reason for online results. No stress to get things is great way too. You do not truly feel uncomfortable or compelled in to obtaining anything.
The correct site will enable someone to relax where you may be and sift using the different internet sites that present jet skis. Only you may have to be careful that that you're dealing having a website operated by somebody who knows what they're talking about, or as soon as again you've the same problem as with a), you don't discover when the guy knows what he is referring to.
She or he might be totally honest with you - they wouldn't be selling from the site of they weren?t - and they it's quite likely they understand a reasonable bit about jet skis, but simply how much do they comprehend? Do they really provide you with the most effective advice? Will they tell you what is top for your son or daughter to get? A super-powered marine motorcycle is the last thing that you'll require with out been trained in any way.
In the event you are an experienced rider it doesn't apply for you because you may discover the good jet skis for a race. You may don't want a brandname new water craft, but possibly a boat for just one of your kids to have them up and heading in jet ski racing. That's a distinct requirement altogether, but whatever you might be seeking for which you'll need can be a good online jet ski market that could offer you the number of jet skis you have to make a great selection. Maybe even to manage to verify them out in the flesh.
To do that, your internet Used Jetski For Sale facility has to be near by to you personally , but even if you might still have the ability to have confidence in this to be able to present a very good package relating to great jetskis which have been well worth that which you shell out on their behalf. On the web is the finest spot to shop for a jetski despite whether it's for the family use, a first timers courses, your children to evolve or a competition New And Used Jetski For Sale in which might improve your career, most you'll need in any situation is a few excellent tips via an expert.
Everyone needs a car, though some may say it to be more a want than a need. Without a car, getting around can be most difficult, even with the public transportation, taxis and other forms of transportation.
Car leasing has becoming popular among the UK people gradually, as now every fourth vehicle in the country is leased. After all, it gives the chance of driving brand new car models in every few years.
There are 3 particular types of car titles you can be issued for your vehicle. Learn more about car titles and the types you'll come across when buying or selling a vehicle.

A simultaneous differential scanning calorimetry–X-ray diffraction study of olanzapine crystallization from amorphous solid dispersions
Sean Askin , Andrea D. Gonçalves , Min Zhao , Gareth R. Williams , Simon Gaisford , Duncan Q. M. Craig
Molecular Pharmaceutics
DOI: 10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.0c00846
Abstract: Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) of class II and IV biopharmaceutics classification system drugs in water-miscible polymers are a well-recognized means of enhancing dissolution, while such dispersions in hydrophobic polymers form the basis of micro- and nanoparticulate technologies. However, drug recrystallization presents significant problems for product development, and the mechanisms and pathways involved are poorly understood. Here, we outline the use of combined differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)-synchrotron X-ray diffraction to monitor the sequential appearance of polymorphs of olanzapine (OLZ) when dispersed in a range of polymers. In a recent study (Cryst. Growth Des.2019,19, 2751–2757), we reported a new polymorph (form IV) of OLZ which crystallized from a spray-dried dispersion of OLZ in polyvinylpyrrolidone. Here, we extend our earlier study to explore OLZ dispersions in poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), polylactide (PLA), and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS), with a view to identifying the sequence of form generation on heating each dispersion. While spray-dried OLZ results in the formation of crystalline form I, the spray-dried material with HPMCAS comprises an ASD, and forms I and IV are generated upon heating. PLGA and PLA result in a product which contains both amorphous OLZ and the dichloromethane solvate; upon heating, the amorphous material converts to forms I, II, and IV and the solvate to forms I and II. Our data show that it is possible to quantitatively assess not only the polymorph generation sequence but also the relative proportions as a function of temperature. Of particular note is that the sequence of form generation is significantly more complex than may be indicated by DSC data alone, with coincident generation of different polymorphs and complex interconversions as the material is heated. We argue that this may have implications not only for the mechanistic understanding of polymorph generation but also as an aid to identifying the range of polymorphic forms that may be produced by a single-drug molecule.
Olanzapine form IV: discovery of a new polymorphic form enabled by computed crystal energy landscapes
Sean Askin , Jeremy K. Cockcroft , Louise S. Price , Andrea Goncalves , Min Zhao , Derek A. Tocher , Gareth R. Williams , Simon Gaisford , Duncan Q. M. Craig
Crystal Growth & Design
DOI: 10.1021/acs.cgd.8b01881
Abstract: Olanzapine is a polymorphic drug molecule that has been extensively studied, with over 60 structures reported in the Cambridge Structural Database. All anhydrous and solvated forms of olanzapine known to date contain the SC0 dimer packing motif. In this study, a new screening approach was adopted involving heat-induced forced crystallization from a polymer-based molecular dispersion of olanzapine. Simultaneous differential scanning calorimetry-powder X-ray diffraction (DSC-PXRD) was used to heat the amorphous dispersion and to identify a novel physical form from diffraction and heat flow data. Comparison of the diffraction data with those from a computed crystal energy landscape allowed the crystal structure to be determined. The result was the discovery of a new polymorph, form IV, which does not use the SC0 motif. Hence, while dimer formation is the dominant process that defines crystal packing for olanzapine formed from solution, it seems that molecularly dispersing the drug in a polymeric ma-trix permits crystallization of alternative motifs. Having identified form IV, it proved possible to scale up the synthesis and demonstrate its enhanced dissolution properties over form I.


Shows again the delights of winter cruising!!
Woo-hoo, only six weeks to go before the next Broads jaunt!
Finding faults with me already Grace.
I thought we were still in the honeymoon period, but it seems I need to start working on All Of Me.
Do you realise that I'm a complete Tolkien nut?
I just thought we had similar characteristics thats all .
Are you calling me your precious Helen? I'm flattered, thank you.
Similar characteristics? You don't go around nabbing and eating orcs , do you?
Well here I am again, with a story that seems to recur so often, my week should have started on Saturday the 1st December but once more a lack of staffing at work and not enough drivers meant that my leave was cancelled at short notice, meaning from Sunday to Thursday morning I would be required to report for duty.
After a couple of large mugs of coffee, and a cheeky motivational talk with the lady (thank you darling ) I finally set off heading back to Brundall and back on the water again just after 6 a.m.
The car journey was long, slow and frustrating on my poor tired brain (and there isn't much of it to handle anything anyway) but I have arrived (approx 0930 I'll check back to see) and so it is time for the latest instalment of the exciting, enthralling "A Winters Tale".
I mean if you want to, it's not like you have to. And I wouldn't because they are awfully boring, but if you want to you are welcome to come along with me.
Now you know very well that your tales are always welcomed, whether or not you are 'compos mentis'. So just enjoy a good sleep and then start your new story. Hope the weather is good to you.
 you are welcome to come along with me.
You know the song I'll sleep when I'm dead?
Here you go then pubby people, which pub is this? I've given you a full view of the bar to make it easy, and then gone and obscured it a little to make it harder.
I was thinking it may be the White Horse at Chedgrave.
Is it Sutton Staithe Hotel?


On this Valentine's Day my gift to my Husband is this blog. Dave loves cars. He especially loves Mustangs and Shelbys . And so, my gift to him this day are his photos….of cars.
Some of these pictures were taken at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia and some at Shelby American, Inc. in Las Vegas.

Sony moved 5.7 million game consoles during the fall alone.
If you had a hunch that the PlayStation 4 would keep up its gangbuster sales rate through the holiday season... well, you guessed correctly. Sony is crowing that lifetime sales of the PS4 have reached 35.9 million, 5.7 million of which were sold this holiday alone. In other words, a sixth of all PS4 owners joined in just the past few months. Many of these customers are online, too -- PlayStation Plus subscriptions jumped 60 percent compared to a year earlier.
As for the Xbox One? Microsoft isn't saying much, unfortunately. The company was quick to tout a "record holiday," but it's not revealing hardware numbers -- it'll only say that Xbox One sales were outpacing where the Xbox 360 was at the same point in its life, and were up 81 percent year-over-year. The lack of specifics suggests that Microsoft may be enjoying healthy sales, but isn't doing so well that it can gloat over the data. If so, the results wouldn't be shocking. The Xbox One has long been a strong seller in North America, but it fares poorly in Japan and other areas where the PlayStation brand has a firmer grip.

2020 Healthcare Year in Review
With the year coming to a close, I'd like to reflect on the major healthcare events of 2020. It was a very tough year; here's to looking forward to a better year come January 1.
COVID Pandemic Overview
COVID, of course, dominated the year. The novel virus seeped out of China at the beginning of the year and sent America and the world into a deep recession. A Red State-Blue State phenomenon emerged when some states reopened their economies quickly, while others went slowly. A second surge has now recently hit, and the divide continues, with some states staying open and others entering deep lockdown.
Worldwide there are almost 81M cases, with the United States seeing over 19.2M thus far. Deaths are approaching 350,000 in America. Two COVID relief packages passed Congress. In the second quarter, the healthcare impact was devastating on providers, who saw a huge dip in services rendered due to the lockdown. Demand recovered in the third quarter but could dip again in some states due to the second surge.
Two vaccines have already been approved in record time and several more are due out soon. Vaccine distribution has begun. CVS, Walgreens, and others led the nation in testing and now vaccinating.
The uninsured crisis in America worsened due to COVID. Studies showed that between 12M and 15M lost employer coverage. The exact impact is unknown as some regained employer coverage and some migrated to Medicaid or the Exchanges. However, COVID is expected to increase the uninsured rate beyond the 32M or 10 percent of the nation recorded in 2019.
Health Plan Response to COVID
Health plans had to respond quickly to the pandemic by lifting prior authorizations and moving staff to working remotely. Plans saw a surge in profits on paper but most of it will be sent back to employers, members, or governments in coming years due to rebate laws.
Plans took the COVID pandemic as an opportunity to reflect. Major investments are occurring in streamlining and automating prior authorization as well as shifting to a care management/population health focus. A myriad of technology investments are being made as well.
Medicare Advantage (MA) plans also showed how innovative they can be during the pandemic. MA plans rose to the occasion, distributing personal protective equipment (PPE), shifting to telehealth to ensure seniors and the disabled were able to virtually visit doctors, and investing measurably in population health outreach to maintain member health. The antiquated Medicare Fee-For-Service (FFS) system just doesn't have this kind of firepower.
MA enrollment should reach well over 40% of all Medicare beneficiaries due to a solid open enrollment. MA plans continued to expand the offering of supplemental benefits (both healthcare oriented and not) to attract members. Medicare beneficiaries with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) began enrolling in mainstream MA plans for 2021.
Medicaid rolls increased markedly due to COVID and it appears the 2021 open enrollment for the Exchanges marked their best renewal rates and new signups in several years. Health plans have invested considerably in the Exchanges over the past few years and into 2020 for 2021, with major geographic expansions and some plans returning to Obamacare.
Major plans, including Aetna and Humana, deepened their commitment to value-based reimbursement.
More Republican states adopted a Medicaid expansion. In 2020, Oklahoma and Missouri did so. In addition, Georgia received a waiver to go to 100% of the federal poverty limit. Trump has been pushing work requirements for Medicaid. Georgia and a few others have such conditions.
The Supreme Court heard arguments regarding the fate of Obamacare. A decision is not due until June, but conservative and liberal justices all seem dubious of striking the law down. The high court will also determine the fate of Medicaid work rules.
The Supreme Court sided with health plans by deciding that the Obamacare risk corridor payments should be paid out for 2014, 2015 and 2016. The Obama administration argued that they did not need to, which led to major disruption and plan pullouts early on. The money, in part, goes to small plans and co-ops that went out of busy because the Obama administration broke the social compact with health plans.
CMS Regulations
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) set aside regulations or provided rule flexibility due to the pandemic. The Star program saw lackluster results due to COVID's impact.
A series of new regulations did come out; however, most with future effective dates.
To encourage the use of the most appropriate place of service in healthcare, CMS announced it is eliminating the Inpatient Only Service list in Medicare. It also issued regulations surrounding site-neutral payments in Medicare.
CMS also continued liberalization of the use of telehealth in Medicare and boosted payments.
Value-based purchasing reforms continued, including announcements of several new pilots in Medicare and Medicaid.
The interoperability rules were unveiled, mandating that providers and plans each send data to member apps to facilitate the compiling of a true member clinical history. A late 2020 rule also will mandate provider-to-payer data sharing and electronic prior authorization in the Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance, and federal Exchange programs. The same could come for MA in 2021.
Two price transparency rules were passed, mandating that health plans and hospitals publish pricing on websites.
The provider Stark and Antikick back rules were reformed to promote value-based purchasing.
The 5-year federal information technology plan was unveiled and called for unprecedented digitalization and interoperability to reduce costs and improve quality.
COVID dampened provider acquisitions, but the pandemic will likely accelerate physician practice consolidation and hospitals acquiring more physician groups in the future. Nonetheless, several prominent hospital mergers did occur, despite warnings from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that such mergers increase prices in highly concentrated markets. CVS and Aetna continued their internal merger cost-savings activities, as did Centene and WellCare.
Drug Price and Other Reform
President Trump's fascination with international reference pricing finally made it into a federal rule, although covering a subset of Medicare Part B medical drugs only. It has been put on temporary hold by a federal judge. Biden may abandon it or a court permanently suspend it. The House Democrats passed a Medicare drug pricing direct negotiation bill. These activities, though, will shake up the drug pricing world.
Trump executed a Medicare rule that would mandate the pass-through of rebates at the point of sale. The move is controversial and likely will be abandoned.
Medicare drug cards (with $200 per recipient) could go out to all seniors. We emphasize could.
The Trump administration also backed a pilot that seeks to reduce insulin costs in Medicare Part D to just $35 per month.
CMS also amended the Medicaid rebate program to promote value-based purchasing arrangements.
Trump backed via rule the ability to allow states to reimport drugs to promote access to lower prices. Joe Biden is known to favor importation as well.
Amazon deepened its commitment to the pharmacy market by aligning its PillPack subsidiary with two PBMs.
The Opioid Crisis worsened with the COVID pandemic.
The federal government came to a criminal settlement with Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, which started the crisis in America. Many argue the settlement amounts to a sweetheart deal for the drugmaker and the Sackler Family, which will remain among the richest in the nation despite the settlement.
Separately, the federal government has filed charges against Walmart's pharmacies for violation of the controlled substance act. The feds argue that Walmart looked the other way and did not do its due diligence when filling prescriptions for opioids.
Finally, a surprise billing reform bill passed Congress as part of the most recent COVID package. The bill is a bit of a mixed bag. It will stop balance billing for emergencies, air ambulance, and most out-of-network provider services performed at an in-network facility. However, some balance billing will continue to be allowed and a costly and complicated arbitration system was endorsed over simply paying such bills at median in-network rates by region. Provider groups flexed their lobbying muscles to get this concession.
Biden Wins
In a heated and closely contested election, Democrat Joe Biden emerged the winner, although Donald Trump continues to contest the results. Despite the change in party in the White House, healthcare policy will remain relatively status quo. Biden does not favor Medicare for All but does support strengthening Obamacare. With the House Democrats losing seats (they now will have a razor-thin majority) and the Senate at best 50-50 (the two Georgia Senate races will decide the upper chamber's control on January 6), prospects for major Obamacare changes and Medicare at 60 look a bit remote. Biden will work regulatorily to strengthen Obamacare and expand Medicaid. As important key Obamacare reforms, such as protection for pre-existing conditions, will stay in force.
Biden named Xavier Becerra as the future Health and Human Services Secretary. Both Biden and Becerra are known to be activists on the provider and plan consolidation and anti-trust front.
Trump backed the reintroduction of short-term duration and association plans. Most likely, these will be on the chopping block in 2021.

Your Android smart phone provides a means to toss your checkbook register and budget ledger into the trash can. With this new technology, your entire financial life now resides in that small computer in your pocket.
Using financial applications requires you to enter each transaction as it occurs into the application interface. Budgeting applications require you to set up individual budgets for each category you want to include such as bills, food, gas and entertainment.
As you create new transactions, the category of the transaction adds the transaction to your budget so you get real-time, up-to-date information on your accounts and financial status. Here are five Android applications for managing your budget.
Pocket Money lets you keep track of multiple accounts, set up budgets and track your expenses. Pocket Money provides graphical representations of your budget so you get a complete, accurate view of your financial status.
The biggest benefit to using Pocket Money is the ability to sync your software program to other Androids, iPhones and desktop computers. This eliminates double entry of transactions and shares information with your spouse or partner.
MooLa! provides an interface to track your expenses from your bank accounts. Each transaction is categorised. When you open the "Trends" screen, you see a pie graph showing your spending habits by category. This is a great way to see where your income is going and budget your remaining funds accordingly.
The Mint application works seamlessly with the web-based Mint financial service. The Mint financial website puts all your bank accounts, credit cards, loans and other financial data into one dashboard. So if you're confused by how much you spend, or you need a credit cards guide, this is the app for you.
Mint does not store your login information rendering it safe to use. Mint allows you to set up budgets for individual categories such as bills, gas and entertainment. As transactions occur in your accounts, you categorise these transactions. The reports or budget screen shows your total progress towards your budget. The Mint application lets you view your web-based account from your Android smart phone.
Easy Money manages your financial life. You enter transactions as they occur. The Expenses by Category screen shows your current spending by category allowing you to modify your spending to reach your monthly goal. The Accounts Overview gives you a glimpse of your current financial standing.
The Upcoming Bills screen ensures you never miss a payment again. It also tracks bills you already paid so you know when you pay your bills or when one transaction is past due.
Money by iBear LLC acts as your personal finance manager. Like all the other applications on this list, it tracks transactions, adds transactions to your budget and ensures you always know where your money is going. Money stands apart from the competition by using a calendar interface.
You get a visual representation of when your upcoming bills are due so you never miss a due date. The due dates show a circle around them indicating a financial transaction will occur on that date. Money also works on the iOS platform and has a desktop application for keeping in sync with your partner or spouse.
Tracking your spending and making changes according to your spending habits is the only way to financial health. You need to take control of your financial life and control out-of-control spending habits. These five Android applications help you achieve this goal and find financial independence.

The Ben Simmons era officially began on Oct. 18, 2017. The Australian native 2016 No. 1 draft pick didn't disappoint, leading the team in minutes (35) while scoring 18 points, hauling in 10 rebounds and dishing out five assists with two steals. The 76ers came up short to the Wizards, 120-115, in a game that came down to the last few possessions. But that didn't stop Simmons, who was the talk of the league after the game for his cool demeanor and outstanding all-around play. Amassing an incredible six triple-doubles just over half way through the 2017-18 season, Simmons is rapidly firming in favouritism to take out the NBA Rookie of the Year Award - the future is clearly bright for Simmons and the 76ers.
