Q: Creating small polarised scientific lenses? How would I go about creating small polarised scientific lenses?
Thinking 5mm by 5mm, with a light-source behind it for the purposes of reducing (polarised) surface reflection (assisted with a cross-polarised viewer).
Is the idea that I just need to apply magnesium fluoride; and if so, at what consistency and against what type of lens?

A: I'm not quite sure what you're aiming for but magnesium fluoride ${\rm Mg\, F_2}$ won't polarise light in the way I think you're aiming for. It is very slightly birefringent, so a very thick coating will convert throughgoing linearly polarised light to circularly polarised, but will not attenuate one polarisation. You'll need to lay down a polaroid layer for that.
For reflected light: any combination of layers in any dielectic multilayer coating does not show a polarisation preference when the light is incident normally to the surface (there is no difference between the relationship between field and surface for an S and P waves). Again, thick birefringent layers can alter the polarisation state of the reflected light just as a waveplate does, but they will not preferentially attenuate one polarisation.
Only when the reflexion is non-normal do the S and P waves have different reflexion co-efficients. If you are imaging in a position such that only light of a narrow angular range reaches your imager, then you can set the system up so that only reflexions from light incident near the Brewster angle reach your imager. This effect arises whether or not you use ${\rm Mg\, F_2}$ coatings. An ${\rm Mg\, F_2}$ coating will enhance the effect by lowering the reflected power of both polarisations. For example, here is the reflexion co-efficient as a function of indidence angle at 55nm wavelength for uncoated N-BK7 glass:

and here is the same plot for N-BK7 coated with a quarter wavelength thick ($550 / (4 \times 1.37 = 100{\rm nm}$ thick ${\rm Mg\, F_2}$) coating. If you image near to the Brewster angle of 55 degrees, you'll get mainly S-polarised reflexions.

Complicated multilayers can widen the trough around the Brewster null, so you can indeed attenuate quite wide angles P polarised reflexion. However, this is not a simple laboratory exercise. Depending on what you need, you may need to have a specialised coating designed for you and manufactured by a specialist manufacturer.

Price, Joyce Pauline
Joyce Pauline Price, 72, of Somerville, left this world on Saturday, January 4, 2020 and joined her Heavenly family.
Joyce's character was defined by her determination, her independence and her tremendous love. One way in which her love manifested was in her role as a mother. The oldest daughter of a single mother of 6, she was a "second mother" to her younger siblings. At 16 she married and started her own family. In 1980 while raising four children on a remote farm in Mullinville, KS she became the first in her family to get a college education and graduated in the first class of registered nurses from Dodge City Community College.
She had a long and rewarding career as a nurse. She took an early retirement from nursing due to lingering complications from her childhood battle with polio.
Joyce was a woman of strong faith, which she found great comfort and strength in, particularly following the death of her son, Aubrey John. She became a leader in her faith community, Contemporary Christian Ministry (CCM), and, up until her death, organized weekly, online, video prayer meetings with participants spanning many states. Joyce's ability to bring people together no matter how far apart they are spoke to her tremendous capacity for love and kindness. Whether it was friends, family, or an animal in need, Joyce had love for all. The friends she made from every walk of life became friends for life, and her family cherished her and will miss her dearly.
She has passed on her loving nature, stubbornness, determination, and pet-collecting tendencies to four children and eight grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Betty Parie; son, A.J. Price; grandson, Dustin Brown; brother, David Russ; and her step-father, James H. Rosser.
Joyce is survived by her children, Twila Brown and her husband, Tim, of Waco, TX, Cheri Williams and her husband, Mike, of Friona, TX, Aaron Price and his wife, Leslie, of Ingleside, TX; grandchildren, Shelby Williams, Derek Brown, Miranda Williams, Devin Brown, Meagan Price, Aubrey Williams, and Austin Price; siblings, Jim Rosser and his wife, Rose, Barbara Ensey and her husband, Rick, Richard Rosser and his wife, Lisa, Deborah Izquierdo and her husband, Javier; numerous nieces and nephews; and her canine companions, Smidgen and Fancy.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Hear the Cry Ministries at http://hearthecryministries.com/ or P.O. Box 3923, Shiprock, NM 87420.
The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 PM Friday, January 10th, with the Celebration of Life Service to follow at 4 PM in the Bluebonnet Chapel of Callaway-Jones Funeral Center, 3001 S. College Ave., Bryan, TX 77801. Steve Callaway will be officiating.

Cop Kiera Cameron woke up in 2012 in Vancouver. While earlier she was in 2077. In addition to her eight most dangerous criminals, known as Liber8 moved 65 years ago also. With the help of CMR (cellular memory recall – chip technology implanted in her brain), she connects with 17-year-old computer genius Alec Sadler. Thus, their joint work begins. Kiera, of course, wants to go home very much, but she understands that need to neutralize the eight terrorists who want to take over the world and change the future. In a strange to her city, Kiera finds an ally – Detective Carlos Fonnegra of the Special Investigations Unit. Together, they will fight against the cruel murderers of Liber8.
In season 1 of Continuum, Kiera Cameron, a cop from the year 2077 found herself trapped in present day Vancouver, searching for convicted terrorists from the future, known as Liber8. With unexpected assistance from teen tech genius Alec Sadler, Kiera desperately tried to bring down the terrorists before they changed the course of history forever. In this season Kiera continues her uneasy alliance with her partner, Vancouver Police detective Carlos Fonnegra. She pitted against Liber8 while trying to find a way back to 2077. While Alec struggles to understand the implications of the mysterious message he received from his future self in last season's finale, the Liber8 terrorists become more strategic, although just as lethal.
In season three, Kiera Cameron faces the immediate consequences of Alec Sadler's betrayal at the end of season two – when he disappeared in a flash of light with the time travel device Kiera hoped might send her home. Alec's impulsive decision sets in motion a chain of events, which pushes Kiera into a shocking alliance with a former enemy. Kiera must also contend with a newly strategic Liber8 organization, and a growing darkness in her police partner, Carlos Fonnegra. Ultimately, all roads lead through young Alec Sadler, and with his genius never having been more tested, his choices force Kiera – and everyone – to examine all they hold dear.

Learn How You Can Earn Bitcoins in a Good Way and How Hackers Earn Them in Bad Ways - February 24, 2018
Avalanche Botnet Shut Down - December 2, 2016
There are two ways in which cryptocurrency can make a cybercrook's day. One facet of this symbiosis revolves around the anonymity attributes inherent to digital cash. Tracking down a threat actor by a cipher-backed Bitcoin may often be a futile undertaking. Present-day ransomware extortion schemes have made this currency their core financial component.
On the other hand, the decentralized essence of Bitcoin makes it a tasty morsel for cybercriminals as an enticing object of hacking. Bitcoin exchange services pose the weakest link in this Internet-based economy. Many of them are run by programmers rather than experts in the domain of finance and security. The damage to customers tends to be high. There is typically no bank insurance that would reimburse possible losses in case things get out of hand.
Furthermore, as the incidents below will demonstrate, the security of cryptocurrency exchange ecosystem isn't some operators' first priority. A rough estimate of the losses incurred by this industry over the past four years is on the order of 1.3 million Bitcoins, or hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars.
It took Mt. Gox as little as three years to become the leading player in the niche. It processed about 70% of all Bitcoin exchange transactions at its peak in 2013. The website mtgox.com stands for "Magic: The Gathering Online eXchange." Jed McCaleb originally launched Mt. Gox in 2007. Jed McCaleb is a programmer who was planning on using it to trade cards for said video game. Later on, the author switched to cryptocurrency exchange services. Jed McCaleb ended up selling the site in 2011. He finally realized he couldn't cope with the huge ledger of transactions.
Mark Karpeles, a coder and cryptocurrency enthusiast based in Japan, acquired Mt. Gox. Mr. Karpeles revamped the back-end software of the website. He shortly succeeded in becoming the CEO of the world's biggest Bitcoin exchange firm.
The company, however, underwent a series of attacks ever since. The first one took place in June 2011 and caused the service to go offline for several days. The threat actor had purportedly compromised Mt. Gox auditor's machine. Then he used the stolen credentials to transfer thousands of Bitcoins to another wallet.
The second hack as of February 2014 caused the company to go bankrupt. With 744,408 BTC missing for an unknown reason, Mt. Gox halted all withdrawals and closed its service. This was reportedly a latent hack that had lasted for years without being detected by the company's security team.
The most recent incident involves Bitfinex, one of the world's biggest Bitcoin exchange providers. The company lost 119,756 Bitcoins, which is currently the equivalent of more than $72 million, as a result of a breach that took place in early August 2016.
The attacker reportedly took advantage of a vulnerability in Bitfinex' multi-signature system for signing Bitcoin withdrawal transactions. The idea of the multi-signature system is to engage several parties to authorize transactions. Bitfinex owns two secret keys, and its partnering BTC wallet provider BitGo owns one key.
At the time of writing, it's unclear which of the parties got compromised and how. To their credit, the company has offered equity to the affected customers as a reimbursement for their losses.
Bitcoinica
Bitcoinica, another popular Bitcoin trading platform developed and owned by Zhou Tong, suffered two breaches in 2012. The first one resulted in the loss of 46,703 Bitcoins. The attacker compromised Bitcoinica customer service portal and leveraged the obtained access to drain Bitcoin wallets of eight customers.
In the second breach that took place several months later, the attacker was able to hack the company's production servers and stole 18,547 BTC. The aftermath of these heists is as follows: four Bitcoinica customers filed a lawsuit, demanding a compensation of $460,457.
One of the mistakes that allowed these hacks to get through, experts argue, was that Bitcoinica stored large amounts of digital cash online rather than keep the bulk of it offline in an encrypted format.
BitFloor
The entry point for hacking BitFloor was a mix of human error and technical imperfections of handling cryptocurrency. This breach occurred in 2012, resulting in the loss of 24,000 BTC, which was worth $250,000 at that point. The perpetrator was able to compromise the company's servers and obtain keys for multiple customers' wallets.
The intruder got access to an unencrypted backup of keys that was made during manual maintenance. Whereas keeping such sensitive data in a format other than encrypted is an extremely bad idea, there was another serious mistake that allowed the malefactor to do so much damage. It's an equally poor strategy to keep such a big amount of Bitcoins in a so-called online "hot wallet" rather than offline "cold storage" that cannot be accessed from the Internet.
The Bitstamp heist as of January 2015 demonstrated how intricate the hackers' modus operandi could get. Cybercrooks had been bombarding Bitstamp employees with phishing emails (a very popular technic) in a bid to execute malicious code on their computers. Unfortunately, this social engineering strategy resulted in compromising one of the machines on the exchange service network. By finally duping a staff member into opening a virus-tainted .doc attachment with an obfuscated VBA script in it, the perpetrators accessed two servers that contained hot wallet data.
The losses amounted to 19,000 BTC or roughly $5.2 million at the time of the breach. Having recovered from the attack, Bitstamp management decided to rebuild their whole trading platform from scratch in order to ensure better defenses and more efficient damage mitigation further on.
To stay on the safe side, Bitcoin exchange services should follow a number of important guidelines. First of all, the volume of cryptocurrency in an online-accessible hot storage should never exceed the amount that will make the company go bankrupt if lost. Keeping the bulk of it in an offline cold storage is a much more reasonable strategy. Furthermore, it's a good idea to configure deposits to go directly to cold storage.
Adopting manual validation of transfers from cold storage to hot wallets is a worthwhile technique as well. In the case of large withdrawals, delaying the transaction for some time is the lesser of two evils – this will allow for scrupulous insight and validation.
As far as customer security goes, it generally boils down to the use of strong passwords and multi-factor authentication. Also, be sure to scrutinize the reputation of the exchange service of choice. However, some of the incidents above prove that immaculate background doesn't fully guarantee a trouble-free experience.

Sri Lanka is mainly an agricultural country. The chief crop is rice with which the country is almost self sufficient. Tea, rubber and coconut are also important agricultural crops, with tea being a major foreign exchange earner. In addition, other crops of importance are cocoa and spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, pepper and cloves. Fruit and vegetables, native to both tropical and temperate regions, grow well in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is also a major exporter of precious and semi-precious stones. Within the last few years remittances from Sri Lankans employed abroad have contributed a large share towards foreign exchange.
The last three decades have seen tourism emerge as an important industry. There has also been a rapid growth in manufacturing industries which offer a wide range of export goods such as petroleum products, leather goods, ready made garments and electronic equipment.
Language & Religion
Sinhala and Tamil are official languages in Sri Lanka. Sinhala, a language of Indo-Aryan origin is the language of the majority. English is widely spoken and understood. Place names and sign-boards on buses and trains are usually in all three languages. Sri Lanka is a land of religious freedom and tolerance. Wherever you travel you will come across a Buddhist Temple or Dagaba, a Hindu Kovil, a Christian Church or a Mosque, each with its own distinctive architecture. When visiting holy places please conform to the requirements as regards dress in order not to show disrespect.
Location & Physical Features
Sri Lanka, an island in the Indian Ocean is located to the south of the Indian subcontinent. It lies between 5O 55′ and 9O 55′ north of the equator and between the eastern longitudes 79O 42′ and 81O 52′. The total land area is 65,610 sq. km. and is astonishingly varied. A length of 445 km. and breadth of 225 km. encompasse beautiful tropical beaches, verdant vegetation, ancient monuments and a thousand delights to please all tastes. The relief features of the island consist of a mountainous mass somewhat south of the centre, with heights exceeding 2,500 metres, surrounded by broad plains. Palm fringed beaches surround the island and the sea temperature rarely falls below 27oC.
In the lowlands the climate is typically tropical with an average temperature of 27oC in Colombo. In the higher elevations it can be quite cool with temperatures going down to 16oC at an altitude of nearly 2,000 metres. Bright, sunny warm days are the rule and are common even during the height of the monsoon – climatically Sri Lanka has no off season. The south west monsoon brings rain mainly from May to July to the western, southern and central regions of the island, while the north-east monsoon rains occur in the northern and eastern regions in December and January.
Sri Lanka has a population of 21,866,445 of whom the majority are Sinhalese (74%). Other ethnic groups are made up of Sri Lankan Tamils (12.6%), Indian Tamils (5.5%), Moors, Malays, Burghers (of Portuguese & Dutch descent) and others (7.9%).
Although Sri Lanka is a multi-religious country, Buddhists constitute the majority with 70.2 %. Other religious groups are Hindus 12.6 %, Muslims 9.7% and Christians 7.5%. Sri Lanka's literacy rate of 88.6% is one of the highest in Asia
History (a summary)
Recent excavations show that even during the Neolithic Age, there were food gatherers and rice cultivators in Sri Lanka. Very little is known of this period; documented history began with the arrival of the Aryans from North India. The Aryans introduced the use of iron and an advanced form of agriculture and irrigation. They also introduced the art of government. Of the Aryan settlements, Anuradhapura grew into a powerful kingdom under the rule of king Pandukabhaya. According to traditional history he is accepted as the founder of Anuradhapura.
During the reign of King Devanampiya Tissa, a descendent of Pandukabhaya, Buddhism was introduced in 247 B.C. by Arahat Mahinda, the son of Emperor Asoka of India. This is the most important event in Sri Lankan history as it set the country on the road to cultural greatness. As a new civilisation flourished Sri Lanka became rich and prosperous.
In the mid 2nd century B.C. a large part of north Sri Lanka Sigiriya came under the rule of an invader from South India. From the beginning of the Christian era and up to the end of the 4th century A.D. Sri Lanka was governed by an unbroken dynasty called Lambakarna, which paid great attention to the development of irrigation. A great king of this dynasty, Mahasen (3rd century A.D.) started the construction of large `tanks' or irrigation reservoirs. Another great `tank' builder was Dhatusena, who was put to death by his son Kasyapa who made Sigiriya a royal city with his fortress capital on the summit of the rock.
As a result of invasions from South India the kingdom of Anuradhapura fell by the end of the 10th century A.D. Vijayabahu 1 repulsed the invaders and established his capital at Polonnaurwa in the 11th century A.D. Other great kings of Polonnaruwa were Parakrama Bahu the Great and Nissanka Malla both of whom adorned the city with numerous buildings of architectural beauty.
Invasion was intermittent and the capital was moved constantly until the Portuguese arrived in 1505, when the chief city was established at Kotte, in the western lowlands. The Portuguese came to trade in spices but stayed to rule until 1656 in the coastal regions, as did the Dutch thereafter. Dutch rule lasted from 1656 to 1796, in which year they were displaced by the British. During this period the highland Kingdom, with its capital in Kandy, (Click here to access "The majesty and splendour of Kandy") retained its independence despite repeated assaults by foreign powers who ruled the rest of the country. In 1815 the kingdom of Kandy was ceded to the British and thus they established their rule over the whole island. Modern communications, western medical services, education in English, as well as the plantation industry (first coffee then tea, rubber and coconut) developed during British rule. By a process of peaceful, constitutional evolution, Sri Lanka won back her independence in 1948 and is now a sovereign republic, with membership in the Commonwealth of Nations and the United Nations Organization.
The Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka is a free, independent and sovereign nation. A system of administration through provincial councils was introduced in 1988. Legislative power is exercised by Parliament, elected by universal franchise on a proportional representation basis.

The Facts:The rollout of a 5G network appears to be upon us, with a seeming indifference on the part of those in charge about the potential dangers and harmful effects on the human population and the planet.
Reflect On:Is this issue the one that finally inspires a critical mass of awakened people to take back our power and withdraw our consent from endeavors that are not in the best interests of humanity?
If you are still defining your reality based on a mainstream perception–which you probably aren't if you're reading this article–then what you will hear about the rollout of the 5G network is that it will be a boon to humankind in so many ways. Much faster data transmission rates, greater connectivity for the new 'Internet of Things' model, and a burgeoning market with tremendous investment opportunities.
The Historical Facts on Measles and the Measles Vaccine Censored by Mainstream Media
This year, the fear mongering about measles has reached epidemic proportions in America. A day doesn't go by without media outlets publishing angry articles and editorials spewing hatred toward a tiny minority of parents with unvaccinated children, who are being blamed for measles outbreaks.
The remedy is always a call to track down, persecute and punish any parent whose child is not vaccinated.
Some state and federal lawmakers are reacting to the relentless fear mongering by proposing to severely restrict the medical vaccine exemption and eliminate all religious and conscientious belief exemptions in state vaccine laws.

Research: Radiotherapy Causes Cancer, Blueberry Kills It
by Sayer Ji, Green Med Info:
Research confirms radiotherapy drives invasiveness within cancer, as well as the power of natural substances to strike to the heart of cancer malignancy.
An important study reveals both the abject failure of conventional radiation treatment for cancer, and the very real possibility that blueberries contain a curative compound far more effective than anything modern cancer specialists have available to them to strike at the very root of cancer malignancy.
How the Institute of Medicine Helped Suppress Questions About Vaccine Safety by the Children's Health Defense Team
[Note: This is Part VIII in a series of articles adapted from the second Children's Health Defense eBook: Conflicts of Interest Undermine Children's Health. The first eBook, The Sickest Generation: The Facts Behind the Children's Health Crisis and Why It Needs to End, described how children's health began to worsen dramatically in the late 1980s following fateful changes in the childhood vaccine schedule.]
The Institute of Medicine (IOM)—now called the Health and Medicine Division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine—is a private, nonprofit entity that has had a mandate since 1970 to provide the U.S. government with "independent, objective analysis" on matters of health. The IOM produces reports specifically requested and paid for by federal agencies—including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The IOM develops its scope of work "in collaboration with the study's sponsor" and then carries out its deliberations behind closed doors.
SELCO: How NOT to Build Your SHTF Medical Kit and What NOT to Do With It
The medical field is one of my favorite fields of prepping, not only because it is my "field of work" for many years but also because it is very often misunderstood in prepping.
There are many reasons for that, one of the reasons is the fact that there are many other "cooler" topics for prepping. As a result, medical preparedness gets researched very superficial, and people prepare for it in a way that most of them want just to mark that as done and move on to other topics.
So as a foundation in medical prepping for SHTF think about a few things, for a start only.
Government's Own Pro-vaccine Medical Expert Admits There is a Vaccine-Autism Link That is Being Covered Up
from Humans Are Free:
Earlier this year investigative independent journalist Sharyl Attkisson ran a report on Dr. Andrew Zimmerman, a world-renowned pediatric neurologist whom the U.S. Government used in 2007 to testify in the U.S. Vaccine Court that vaccines did not cause autism.
However, Dr. Zimmerman also stated in an affidavit that vaccines can cause autism in a certain subset of children, but that testimony was suppressed.
Farmer Conducts Experiment Using GMO and Non-GMO Corn, Discovers Sobering Truth That Animals Know and Humans Don't
from Government Slaves:
The genetically engineered food experiment began in the mid-1990s and continues unabated to this day, with Bayer recently taking over Monsanto and pumping billions of dollars into its new American GMO division.
But while the GMO food experiment has been highly profitable for the lab technicians who created it, as well as the toxic, synthetic pesticide industry, the question of what it's doing to our bodies, specifically our internal organs, remains etched in the minds of independent researchers who have studied the crops extensively (GMOs do not undergo safety testing past 90 days and many studies are funded by the industry).
ANOTHER ONE THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE.
There is a litany of things THEY don't want us discussing, and this interview covers quite a few of them. And this is yet another interview THEY don't want you to see. After all, TRUTH is "not suitable for most advertisers."
BIG PHARMA HIKES DRUG PRICE 879% AND THAT'S JUST ONE OF 3,400 SO FAR THIS YEAR
by Mac Slavo, SHTF Plan:
Big Pharma continues to jack up the prices on the drugs they peddle. The price of one drug was hiked 879%, and that' only ONE of the 3,400 price increases that have occurred so far this year.
Pharmaceutical companies raised the prices of more than 3,400 drugs in the first half of 2019, surpassing the number of drug hikes they imposed during the same period last year, according to an analysis first reported by NBC News. While the average price increase per drug was 10.5%, a rate around five times that of inflation, about 40 of the drugs saw triple-digit increases. That includes a generic version of the antidepressant Prozac, which saw a price increase of 879%.

The recipe below is from Kimberly Snyder's book "Recipes for Your Perfectly Imperfect Life." Snyder is a nutritionist and the founder of Solluna and the #FeelGoodMovement. She is also a New York Times best-selling author.

Biden calls his infrastructure plan bold. Bernie Sanders says more work must be done
"I think many of us see a crisis in human infrastructure when a working class family can't find good, quality, affordable child care. That's human infrastructure," the Vermont independent and chairman of the Senate Budget Committee told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." "I think now is the time to begin addressing our physical infrastructure and our human infrastructure. I want to see that happen as soon as possible."
The comments from Sanders, who has signaled his support for Biden's proposal, come as the administration zeroes in on infrastructure as its next major legislative push. The proposal, called the American Jobs Plan, would spend heavily on rebuilding the nation's crumbling infrastructure and shift to greener energy over the next eight years. It includes building or retrofitting more than 2 million homes or housing units, replacing every lead pipe in the country and ensuring that all Americans have access to affordable, reliable and high-speed broadband.
The President has said the proposal would modernize 20,000 miles of rundown highways, roads and main streets and 10,000 bridges and would also fix "10 of the nation's most economically significant bridges in America that require replacement." The plan also calls for investments in manufacturing, transportation, research and development, bolstering caregiving for aging and disabled Americans and building new public schools and upgrading existing buildings.
Sanders called Biden's plan "a serious proposal dealing with some of the serious crises that we face," adding that "every American understands that our infrastructure, our roads and our bridges, water systems, waste water plants, are falling apart and we can create millions of jobs rebuilding them."
But, the senator said, Congress will take a "hard look" at the plan in an effort to see how it can address health care, the cost of prescription drugs, college affordability and student debt. "I think in an unprecedented moment, the President has given us a serious proposal. A lot more work has to be done in that regard," he said.
Top Biden officials push for Republican support
Two of the five Cabinet secretaries Biden has assigned to serve as his messengers in working with Congress on the infrastructure proposal said Sunday that it's the administration's hope that the plan will have Republican support, something the President lacked when the Senate passed the latest Covid-19 relief package.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was cautiously optimistic on the prospect of garnering bipartisan backing for the proposal in an interview with NBC, saying: "I think we can find a lot of support for all of the elements of the President's agenda."
But Buttigieg echoed the administration's stance that inaction is not an option, saying that it "can't let politics slow this down to where it doesn't actually happen."
And Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm avoided outright saying that Biden would move to pass his plan without Republican congressional support in an interview later on "State of the Union," telling Tapper that it would be Biden's preference to have GOP support, but ultimately he was elected by the American people to lead.
"However, his sincere preference, his open hand, is to Republicans to come to the table and say, 'If you don't like this, how would you pay for it? If you don't like this, what would you include?'" she said.
And asked why the proposed bill has more money in it for electric cars than it does for roads and bridges, Granholm said it was also a jobs bill and the need for an electrified transportation system to reduce climate change is "highly supportive."
The secretary added that the money also goes to things like building electric batteries in America, a market China plans to corner in the future.
CNN's Kate Sullivan, Jasmine Wright, Jason Hoffman, Phil Mattingly and Maegan Vazquez contributed to this report.

When might the third season of Sweet Magnolias be available on Netflix?
August 11, 2022 August 13, 2022 admin 0 Comments
The drama-filled second season of Sweet Magnolias debuted on Netflix six months ago. Since then, fans have been looking for details about the impending third season everywhere they can. Despite the lack of a release date, we do know that Sweet Magnolias season 3 production has begun, which brings the return of the programme one step closer.
Sweet Magnolias, which is based on Sherryl Woods' books of the same name, follows a group of close friends as they support one another through life's ups and downs while residing in South Carolina. JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Brooke Elliott, Heather Headley, Jamie Lynn Spears, Logan Allen, Anneliese Judge, Carson Rowland, Justin Bruening, Chris Klein, and other outstanding actors are included in the stellar cast.
Netflix opted to renew the romance drama series for a third season in May 2022 after two highly successful seasons. However, we didn't learn anything new about Sweet Magnolias season 3 until JoAnna Garcia Swisher revealed on her Instagram page on July 1 that she was resuming her role for the forthcoming season. At first, we believed that Swisher was informing the public that filming had begun, but that wasn't the case.
The third season of Sweet Magnolias' principal photography officially began on July 18, according to the show's official writers room Instagram account. According to a recent Instagram post by Heather Headley, it appears that the cast and crew are still hard at work filming the third season. So when can we anticipate watching Sweet Magnolias season 3 on Netflix? Below, we've included our release forecasts for when the show might return.
When might Netflix release Sweet Magnolias season 3?
We don't yet have a confirmed production wrap date, but we should expect production to last roughly three months. The second season's filming took place over this period of time. Since the third season's production commenced in July, its completion would likely occur in October.
After filming is over, the third season won't likely be available on Netflix for six to seven months. If the production is finished in October, the release date will fall between April and May of 2023, or six to seven months later.
Keep in mind that nothing has been verified. Therefore, Sweet Magnolias season 3 can come out sooner or later than we anticipated. Presently, plan for the third season to launch on Netflix in the spring of 2023.
For any new Sweet Magnolias season 3 updates, keep checking Netflix Life!

The cooling system consists of a radiator, the water pump, the thermostat and the electric fan.
The contour of cooling liquid copes thermostatic. So far the engine cold, cooling liquid circulates only in the block of cylinders and the heat exchanger of a heater. When heating cooling liquid the thermostat opens and cooling liquid begins to proceed through a radiator. Cooling liquid is set in motion by the water pump which is in turn set in motion by a maple belt. Cooling liquid passes through a radiator from top to down and is cooled at the same time with the air proceeding through plates.
The electric fan provides additional cooling. When temperature of cooling liquid increases up to +91 В°C, the thermoswitch via the relay turns on the fan. If temperature of cooling liquid falls below +84 В°C, the thermoswitch automatically switches-off the fan.
The tank of cooling liquid serves as a broad tank and collects the liquid extending when heating, and after cooling of the engine returns back it in a contour. At the expense of it the contour is constantly filled and provides good cooling. Cooling liquid has to be added only through a broad tank.
The fan of a radiator can automatically turn on at the switched-off engine and the included ignition. This process caused by heat in a motive compartment can repeat several times. During the works in a motive compartment on the hot engine it is always necessary to remember a possibility of unexpected turning on of the fan. Therefore whenever possible during the works in a motive compartment ignition should be switched off.

Construction begins on East Africa's largest port
Construction on Tanzania's Bagamoyo Port is finally underway, and when completed, will be the largest port in East Africa
Port officials are keen to integrate a range of digital services in the port to enhance efficiency. (Image source: ChooYutShing/Flickr)
The project covers 2,400 hectares and is expected to take around seven years to reach completion, said officials in the government. The mega project is being funded by China Merchants Group and Oman's State Government Reserve Fund.
To support the development of the port, an 80-km long railway line would be required and officials are working out the details to lay down that line.
Aside from the port, an industrial park will also be developed. The park will house a range of factories that will be engaged in production of cement, textiles and gas.
Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) manager Hebel Mhanga said that the port is planning to start an Electronic Single Window System that will enable a person to see all port operations from the country of their origin. This system is likely to be put in place by next year.
"In our bid to increased efficiency, we want to introduce more digital services and have already got in place a billing system, e-payment and are currently finalising a contract with a company to have an Enterprise Resource Planning system, an essential tool to track business resources – cash, raw materials and production capacity," he explained.
Bernard Membe, minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation, said that once the port is completed, Tanzania's economic growth would skyrocket. The existing Dar es Salaam port, as a result of being located in the central part of the town, cannot be expanded any further, making the construction of a mega port in Bagomayo a viable option.

New computational method for mass spectrometry phosphorylation data
11 September 2015 | News
Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) have developed a new method for studying the targets and effects of cancer drugs using data from discovery mass spectrometry (MS) experiments. The study is published in Nature Communications.
Understanding the biological signalling pathways that regulate metabolism and gene expression is challenging, because so many things are happening at once. But this understanding is crucial for knowing how a drug will affect healthy and cancer cells. Protein kinases play a pivotal role in these pathways by turning certain proteins on and off in a process called phosphorylation—and because such pathways are often deregulated in cancer, kinase inhibitors are used as treatments.
To create models of signalling pathways and networks, the researchers used data from discovery mass spectrometry phospho-proteomics, a tool for studying the phosphorylation of thousands of proteins expressed by a cell at a certain time. Such models could be used to test the potential effect of a drug computationally.
"MS is a very powerful tool because it lets you look at activities like phosphorylation in a huge number of proteins at once", says Julio Saez-Rodriguez, visiting group leader at EMBL-EBI. "But the data is typically very noisy, and random in terms of which of the tens of thousands of proteins in the cells it measures. It's a little like trying to make a London tube map based on random CCTV photos."
Until now, methods using MS phospho-proteomics data have put researchers on the right track in a general sense, for example pointing to groups of kinases that are likely to be active in a sample. The new method reconstructs pathways robustly, allowing researchers to ask more precise questions about how drugs affect proteins and pathways.
"Our method takes the noisy data from MS experiment, which is this large network with many interconnected cascades of kinase activities, filters the noise and integrates the data. This is done entirely in the context of what we know about kinases and their substrates, so you can see how things are connected", explains Camille Terfve, an EMBL International PhD student in Julio's lab. "Then you can compare what happens with the signal, for example if you use one kind of inhibitor or another. So, it can show what the drug is really doing to the system, beyond the direction you initially believed it would take."
Thanks to a collaboration with the Cutillas lab at the Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London, the researchers were able to use data from experiments using kinase inhibitors on breast cancer cells to demonstrate the method.
"There is a lot of knowledge out there about protein kinases and how they influence phosphorylation, and we've put this together with the enormous potential of MS to create and test logic models that provide a clear path for research", says Julio. "MS produces so much data that's very difficult to sift through—now, we can start to see the forest for the trees, and define which information is really important."
"It's really exciting to have found a way to make better use of MS data, and to use bioinformatics to make cancer research more efficient", adds Camille.

Q: With the way that AI works, could a game predict the exact results before they happen, assuming there is no human interaction? I've always wondered this about racing games, although the same goes for shooters. In the case of racing, when you finish a race, it either calculates the results on the spot and ends, or the AI keeps racing and it gives them a score as they finish.
Could games like this potentially calculate the results as soon as the human player has no control over the game, but then simulate all the AI normally to get the same results, without any influence from the calculated results? I'm guessing the AI only uses a very small amount of processing compared to what's required to render the scene, but I've never looked into it so I'm not really sure.
Personally I think it'd be quite cool to see in a game, or perhaps even having a hidden option (only accessible through a console command) for realtime feedback of whose going to win, where you can see how devastating your crashes/killing sprees are for the other players final score. I know something like that wouldn't be easy, I'm just surprised I've never seen it done yet.


Austin Jennings was born and raised on the island of O'ahu where he graduated from Kamehameha Schools in 2015. He is currently a junior majoring in Astronomy with a minor in Physics at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo. His current career interests include topics such as galaxy evolution, star formation, and supernovae. On his spare time, Austin enjoys playing video games, exercising, and watching Netflix.
The Canada France Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) currently offers two spectrographs for astronomers, ESPaDOns and SPIRou, but only one instrument can be presently used at any given time. From an engineering standpoint, it would be possible to use both instruments at the same time using a new opto-mechanical device. However, the purpose of this project is to conduct a preliminary astronomical study in order to determine if it is reasonable to use both spectrographs simultaneously or quasi-simultaneously. To determine this, the V (wavelength for ESPaDOnS) and H (wavelength for SPIRou) magnitudes was found for all the main spectral classes as well as 3 stellar luminosity classes – pre-main sequence, main sequence, and giants. Using each instrument's exposure time calculator, a range of magnitudes that would be observable for both spectrographs was found, considering parameters such as a maximum exposure time and saturation limits. From this, a wide range of spectral types that would be feasible for both instruments was established. A range of realistic exposures times was set; the minimum exposure time limits were given by the shortest possible exposure time on SPIRou: 6 seconds. The maximum exposure time was set to a one hour limit as it is a typical maximum exposure time for faint stars. These limits reduced certain spectral types because the stars were either too bright or too dim on one or both of the instruments. These calculations were done for multiple different signal-to-noise ratios (SNR), 100, 300, and 500. It was determined that the magnitude range of stars that could be used by both instruments simultaneously was about 1.28 – 13 in the V magnitude and 5.06 – 5.13 and 11.09 – 12 in the H magnitude. Our final results indicate that astronomers would save a lot of time on the sky using both instruments simultaneously as well as receive more information on any given observed star (as data from two different wavelength domains are acquired). One of many science cases that would benefit from this change includes researching quickly varying phenomena such as variable stars and binary star systems.

Chapter XXI
Ernestine was a delightful hostess, she loved situations, and her social tact was illimitable. In a few minutes Trent was seated in a comfortable and solid chair with a little round table by his side, drinking tea and eating buttered scones, and if not altogether at his ease very nearly so. Opposite him was Davenant, dying to escape yet constrained to be agreeable, and animated too with a keen, distasteful curiosity to watch Ernestine's methods. And Ernestine herself chatted all the time, diffused good fellowship and tea - she made an atmosphere which had a nameless fascination for the man who had come to middle-age without knowing what a home meant. Davenant studied him and became thoughtful. He took note of the massive features, the iron jaw, the eyes as bright as steel, and his thoughtfulness became anxiety. Ernestine too was strong, but this man was a rock. What would happen if she carried out her purpose, fooled, betrayed him, led him perhaps to ruin? Some day her passion would leap up, she would tell him, they would be face to face, injured man and taunting woman. Davenant had an ugly vision as he sat there. He saw the man's eyes catch fire, the muscles of his face twitch, he saw Ernestine shrink back, white with terror and the man followed her.
"Cecil! Aren't you well? you're looking positively ghastly!"
He pulled himself together - it had been a very realistic little interlude.
"Bad headache!" he said, smiling. "By the by, I must go!"
"If you ever did such a thing as work," she remarked, "I should say that you, had been doing too much. As it is, I suppose you have been sitting up too late. Goodbye. I am so glad that you were here to meet Mr. Trent. Mr. Davenant is my cousin, you know," she continued, turning to her visitor, "and he is almost the only one of my family who has not cast me off utterly."
Davenant made his adieux with a heavy heart. He hated the hypocrisy with which he hoped for Scarlett Trent's better acquaintance and the latter's bluff acceptance of an invitation to look him up at his club. He walked out into the street cursing his mad offer to her and the whole business. But Ernestine was very well satisfied.
She led Trent to talk about Africa again, and he plunged into the subject without reserve. He told her stories and experiences with a certain graphic and picturesque force which stamped him as the possessor of an imaginative power and command of words for which she would scarcely have given him credit. She had the unusual gift of making the best of all those with whom she came in contact. Trent felt that he was interesting her, and gained confidence in himself.
All the time she was making a social estimate of him. He was not by any means impossible. On the contrary there was no reason why he should not become a success. That he was interested in her was already obvious, but that had become her intention. The task began to seem almost easy as she sat and listened to him.
Then he gave her a start. Quietly and without any warning he changed the subject into one which was fraught with embarrassment for her. At his first words the colour faded from her cheeks.
"I've been pretty lucky since I got back. Things have gone my way a bit and the only disappointment I've had worth speaking of has been in connection with a matter right outside money. I've been trying to find the daughter of that old partner of mine - I told you about her - and I can't."
She changed her seat a little. There was no need for her to affect any interest in what he was saying. She listened to every word intently.
"Monty," he said reflectingly, "was a good old sort in a way, and I had an idea, somehow, that his daughter would turn out something like the man himself, and at heart Monty was all right. I didn't know who she was or her name - Monty was always precious close, but I had the address of a firm of lawyers who knew all about her. I called there the other day and saw an old chap who questioned and cross-questioned me until I wasn't sure whether I was on my head or my heels, and, after all, he told me to call again this afternoon for her address. I told him of course that Monty died a pauper and he'd no share of our concession to will away, but I'd done so well that I thought I'd like to make over a trifle to her - in fact I'd put away 10,000 pounds worth of Bekwando shares for her. I called this afternoon, and do you know, Miss Wendermott, the young lady declined to have anything to say to me - wouldn't let me know who she was that I might have gone and talked this over in a friendly way with her. Didn't want money, didn't want to hear about her father!"
"You must have been disappointed."
"I'll admit it," he replied. "I was; I'd come to think pretty well of Monty although he was a loose fish and I'd a sort of fancy for seeing his daughter."
She took up a screen as though to shield the fire from her face. Would the man's eyes never cease questioning her - could it be that he suspected? Surely that was impossible!
"Why have you never tried to find her before?" she asked.
"That's a natural question enough," he admitted. "Well, first, I only came across a letter Monty wrote with the address of those lawyers a few days ago, and, secondly, the Bekwando Mine and Land Company has only just boomed, and you see that made me feel that I'd like to give a lift up to any one belonging to poor old Monty I could find. I've a mind to go on with the thing myself and find out somehow who this young lady is!"
"Who were the lawyers?"
"Cuthbert and Cuthbert."
"They are most respectable people," she said. "I know Mr. Cuthbert and their standing is very high. If Mr. Cuthbert told you that the young lady wished to remain unknown to you, I am quite sure that you may believe him."
"That's all right," Trent said, "but here's what puzzles me. The girl may be small enough and mean enough to decline to have anything to say to me because her father was a bad lot, and she doesn't want to be reminded of him, but for that very reason can you imagine her virtually refusing a large sum of money? I told old Cuthbert all about it. There was 10,000 pounds worth of shares waiting for her and no need for any fuss. Can you understand that?"
"It seems very odd," she said. "Perhaps the girl objects to being given money. It is a large sum to take as a present from a stranger."
"If she is that sort of girl," he said decidedly, "she would at least want to meet and talk with the man who saw the last of her father. No, there's something else in it, and I think that I ought to find her. Don't you?"
She hesitated.
"I'm afraid I can't advise you," she said; "only if she has taken so much pains to remain unknown, I am not sure - I think that if I were you I would assume that she has good reason for it."
"I can see no good reason," he said, "and there is a mystery behind it which I fancy would be better cleared up. Some day I will tell you more about it."
Evidently Ernestine was weary of the subject, for she suddenly changed it. She led him on to talk of other things. When at last he glanced at the clock he was horrified to see how long he had stayed.
"You'll remember, I hope, Miss Wendermott," he said, "that this is the first afternoon call I've ever paid. I've no idea how long I ought to have stayed, but certainly not two hours."
"The time has passed quickly," she said, smiling upon him, so that his momentary discomfort passed away. "I have been very interested in the stories of your past, Mr. Trent, but do you know I am quite as much interested, more so even, in your future."
"Tell me what you mean," he asked.
"You have so much before you, so many possibilities. There is so much that you may gain, so much that you may miss."
He looked puzzled.
"I have a lot of money," he said. "That's all! I haven't any friends nor any education worth speaking of. I don't see quite where the possibilities come in."
She crossed the room and came over close to his side, resting her arm upon the mantelpiece. She was still wearing her walking-dress, prim and straight in its folds about her tall, graceful figure, and her hair, save for the slight waviness about the forehead, was plainly dressed. There were none of the cheap arts about her to which Trent had become accustomed in women who sought to attract. Yet, as she stood looking down at him, a faint smile, half humorous, half satirical, playing about the corners of her shapely mouth, he felt his heart beat faster than ever it had done in any African jungle. It was the nervous and emotional side of the man to which she appealed. He felt unlike himself, undergoing a new phase of development. There was something stirring within him which he could not understand.
"You haven't any friends," she said softly, "nor any education, but you are a millionaire! That is quite sufficient. You are a veritable Caesar with undiscovered worlds before you."
"I wish I knew what you meant," he said, with some hesitation.
She laughed softly.
"Don't you understand," she said, "that you are the fashion? Last year it was Indian Potentates, the year before it was actors, this year it is millionaires. You have only to announce yourself and you may take any place you choose in society. You have arrived at the most auspicious moment. I can assure you that before many months are past you will know more people than ever you have spoken to in your life before - men whose names have been household words to you and nothing else will be calling you 'old chap' and wanting to sell you horses, and women, who last week would look at you through lorgnettes as though you were a denizen of some unknown world, will be lavishing upon you their choicest smiles and whispering in your ear their 'not at home' afternoon. Oh, it's lucky I'm able to prepare you a little for it, or you would be taken quite by storm.
He was unmoved. He looked at her with a grim tightening of the lips.
"I want to ask you this," he said. "What should I be the better for it all? What use have I for friends who only gather round me because I am rich? Shouldn't I be better off to have nothing to do with them, to live my own life, and make my own pleasures?"
She shrugged her shoulders.
"These people," she said, "of whom I have been speaking are masters of the situation. You can't enjoy money alone! You want to race, hunt, entertain, shoot, join in the revels of country houses! You must be one of them or you can enjoy nothing."
Monty's words were ringing back in his ears. After all, pleasures could be bought - but happiness!
"And you," he said, "you too think that these things you have mentioned are the things most to be desired in life?"
A certain restraint crept into her manner.
"Yes," she answered simply.
"I have been told," he said, "that you have given up these things to live your life differently. That you choose to be a worker. You have rich relations - you could be rich yourself!"
She looked him steadily in the face.
"You are wrong," she said, "I have no money. I have not chosen a profession willingly - only because I am poor!"
The monosyllable was mysterious to her. But for the wild improbability of the thing she would have wondered whether indeed he knew her secret. She brushed the idea away. It was impossible.
"At least," he said, "you belong to these people."
"Yes,"she answered, "I am one of the poor young women of society."
"And you would like," he continued, "to be one of the rich ones - to take your place amongst them on equal terms. That is what you are looking forward to in life!"
She laughed gaily.
"Of course I am! If there was the least little chance of it I should be delighted. You mustn't think that I'm different from other girls in that respect because I'm more independent. In this country there's only one way of enjoying life thoroughly, and that you will find out for yourself very soon."
He rose and held out his hand.
"Thank you very much," he said, "for letting me come. May I - "
"You may come," she said quietly, "as often as you like."
