Dr. Wiley and other scientists worked diligently with members of the shipping industry in New England to change locations of shipping lanes to prevent ship strikes. This goal was not an easy one; it required years of data collection and interpretation. Scientists considered data sets such as sighting and distribution data that indicated where whales were most likely to occur. Another consideration was sediment type. Humpback whales, for example, feed primarily over sand because they prey on a small fish which lives in the sand. The scientists also developed a current model to predict the locations of copepods, the favorite prey of North Atlantic right whales. When considering these data sets, they noticed that some of the locations of sandy bottoms, high copepod concentrations, and above-average whale sightings were smack in the middle of shipping lanes. Once they had all the data, they approached the shipping community to collaboratively decide locations to which the shipping lanes could be moved. The lanes were moved to locations with a mud and gravel bottom that was not copepod-heavy, and only took large ships a few minutes out of their way.
This shows a DTAG being placed on the back of a humpback whale. DTAG is the small white object that can be seen on the whale. Photo taken under research permit # 605-1904 issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service.
In addition to being susceptible to ship strikes, whales are also affected by noise produced by ships. Therefore, Stellwagen scientists are also studying underwater noise. Using underwater listening devices called hydrophones, scientists can record underwater noise and discover the places and times at which there is a lot of noise. They are making connections between the noise and shipping, and how they can interfere with whales' communication. Dr. Wiley explains that, "We know that whales call for a reason, maybe to let other whales know where they are or the location of food. If they can no longer hear each other make these calls, that is a problem." Data collected in the sanctuary suggest that ocean noise has reduced the communication space for right whales by ~80%. ... "The evidence points to the acoustic space of whales being severely diminished by human made noise in the ocean," notes Dr. Wiley, "we have a number of ongoing projects, each of which is designed to provide data for the others."
Another important project at the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary uses specialized tags that indicate the types of behaviors in which whales are engaging. While satellite tagging is incredibly interesting and important, these tags give specialized data on a much finer scale. A tag will indicate a whale's pitch, or front to back movement, roll, side to side movement, heading, its direction, as well as depth. It also records every sound that the whale makes and that the whale hears. Using all of these data, scientists can create tracks that indicate every move an animal makes using special software created for the express purpose of studying whale behavior. This is a great example of scientists, technologists, and engineers working together to study a problem, and hopefully, to find a solution.
This is a 3-dimensional map of the movements of a humpback whale feeding along the ocean bottom over a period of several hours. DTAG derived data were visualized and analyzed using Trackplot, a custom software application. Trackplot creates a ribbon that represents the temporally accurate, 3D swim path of the tagged whale. In scale, the ribbon is two meters wide (the approximate width of a humpback whale). Chevrons on the ribbon's top surface reveal travel direction and segment the ribbon into 1-second time intervals. Loops, turns and rolls in the ribbon correspond to the same orientations in the DTAG and, therefore, the whale. Body roll greater than 40 degrees are color coded yellow. This animal is repeatedly diving to the bottom and rolling on its side to capture sandlance fish. This behavior makes humpback whales vulnerable to gillnets and other fishing gear that is fished along the seabed.

Angry and armed: middle class vigilantes confront the looters
Spontaneous defiance in affluent suburb acts as catalyst for Baghdad's residents embittered by US inaction
James Meek in Baghdad
Mon 14 Apr 2003 03.13 EDT
The Battle of Zuwiya will not go down in world history as a turning point, but in the personal histories of the men who took part, it may. The weapons were sticks, stones and Kalashnikov assault rifles; it was part of the Battle of Baghdad, supposedly between US forces and Saddam loyalists, yet it pitched Iraqi against Iraqi in an intense and ugly fight that drew blood and confirmed the power of local pride.
The people of Zuwiya, a relatively well-to-do neighbourhood which is part of the district of Kharada, decided they would not tolerate looters. So, seeing as the US marines were failing to enforce public order after their occupation of the capital, they took matters into their own hands.
They could be called vigilantes. They could be called neighbourhood watchmen. Whatever they are called, they showed an ability to spontaneously self-organise which would impress the Paris Communards and should shame the coalition planners who failed to foresee the ransacking which menaces the Iraqi middle class.
It was a taxi driver who first took up a weapon against the looters. Amir Mahdi Ibrahim saw them pouring into his street of shops, the Babylon Hotel, schools and a mosque, on Friday. He reckoned there were about 100 of them, outsiders, com ing with their cars with the gleam of plunder in their eyes.
"They invaded the hotel," he said. "We were unarmed, we didn't have any kind of weapons. I went to some neighbours and asked if anyone had a weapon. A man called Abu Haider said he had a gun. I went to his house and picked up a Kalashnikov.
"I approached the hotel and started shooting in the air. The whole neighbourhood rallied round, with rocks and sticks, and about a hundred of us attacked them."
The Zuwiya residents flattened the tyres of some of the looters' cars, set fire to others, and scared most of the looters away. Some of the looters, about five, Ibrahim reckoned, had Kalashnikovs, and fired back. They were all driven off, but not before one young resident, Hamzah Hussein, was wounded in the arm. He was there yesterday, back from the hospital with his arm in a sling, shy and proud.
Self-defence
The battle acted as the spur for residents to step into the breach left by the collapse of civilian authority and the failure of the US occupiers to protect any life or property save their own. Local people set up checkpoints, posted armed guards at key points - they were still on duty at the hotel yesterday - and confiscated the goods and vehicles of any suspected looters who tried to pass through.
In Zuwiya yesterday a handwritten sign at a roadblock warned: "Chike Point. Slow Daon."
Residents were still angry that a request to a unit of US marines to help them stop the looting had been turned down. At one point, the marines took some of the residents' guns, although they later returned them, accepting they were for self-defence.
"Most of the neighbourhood thinks that the marines are directly to blame for this kind of vandalism," said Aaid Hamza al-Khalaji, a local vet. "In a coup d'état or invasion the first thing that is announced is a curfew, martial law."
The Battle of Zuwiya shows that ordinary middle-class Iraqis will not stand passively and let outsiders have their way with their lives. If they can organise themselves to take up arms against looters today, they can organise against their occupiers tomorrow, should they be provoked enough.
Mr Khalaji recalled the words uttered by Ayatollah Khomeini when accepting a ceasefire with Baghdad in the Iran-Iraq war: it was like drinking poison, the ayatollah said.
"We're happy about the removal of Saddam Hussein, but we are drinking poison for this," Mr Khalaji said. "That's the feeling of most Iraqis. We want the Americans to re-establish order because they destroyed the existing infrastructure."
At least in the part of the city east of the Tigris, the US was making a greater effort to get things under control yesterday. A scattering of foot patrols was going out. Marines were unloading bricks from the back of a Humvee to build a defensive barrier for the St Raphael hospital. A handful of shops and restaurants - still no more than one in 100- reopened, although the continuing lack of mains power was a huge obstacle to daily life and work. A marines spokesman said: "We're working on it."
At one checkpoint, marines and local residents were working together to screen passing vehicles for loot, and to check whether vehicles themselves were looted.
An enraged man, who had been accused of looting and was then cleared by the testimony of neighbours, pawed the ground, eager to brawl with his accusers, before he departed the scene. Marines hung back, on the edge of events, watching but letting the Iraqis take the strain.
The US-Iraqi team had already confiscated a mound of goods which lay on the road: toilets similar to those in presidential palaces, gas masks, boxes of Tunisian ceramic tiles, computers, printers, and classroom chairs.
Two residents were having a dispute about what they were doing. Ayad Dawud was in favour. Badar al-Said said innocent people were being humiliated. "Lots of families have been moving from district to district with their own furniture and are being accused of looting," he said.
In the car park of the old police academy - looted, of course - potential agents of the new order gathered at noon yesterday. They were the same as the agents of the old order. They were Iraqi policemen, responding to a call from the US to come forward to help restore the peace.
All looked prosperous, with new-looking, neatly pressed shirts and slacks. Their faces were the faces of men accustomed to being feared and obeyed. A week ago, they would have arrested anyone who said a word against their beloved leader, Saddam Hussein. Now, on a show of hands, all said they were ready to arrest the evil dictator on sight.
Asked whether the people would accept their return, one senior officer, Mohammed Ali - he would not give his exact rank - said they would. "We can understand the way they think, the psychology," he said. "If there's an order to the coalition forces to deal with these looters there's no common language. We might have further chaos and civil unrest."
Asked whether the police, all members of the Ba'ath party, were not guilty of human rights abuses, he said: "Things I have or have not done are in the past. All our work was to keep peace and security in the country. We weren't dealing with political crimes."
He was ready to deal with looters. "If the Americans give us the authority, we will prosecute every one of these people, and will not let chaos go into the streets."
The US, however, is in no hurry to return authority to the old police. The minutes passed in the hot midday sun in the car park as 50 ex-police officers waited and sweltered. Noon became 1pm. No Americans turned up.

Q: How do you add a tooltip with TabIndex in C# I am trying to add ToolTips to a software with C#.
My problem is that they ask me as a requirement that they activate when a tabIndex is used.
That's the code that I use to show the tooltips with the cursor;
public partial class Login : Form
{
    public Login()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.tthelp.SetToolTip(this.cbxUser, "Select a user");
        this.tthelp.SetToolTip(this.txtPas, "Enter your password");
        this.tthelp.SetToolTip(this.btnLogin, "Click on the button or  you can enter");
    }
    //(...)
}

A: You could add it in the Entry and Leave event of Control.
For example,
var controlTooltipDictionary = new Dictionary<Control, string>
{
    [txtUser] = "Select a user",
    [txtPass] = "Enter your password"
};

foreach (var item in controlTooltipDictionary)
{
    item.Key.Enter += (s, ea) =>
    {
      tthelp.Show(item.Value,item.Key);
    };

    item.Key.Leave += (s, ea) =>
    {
      tthelp.Hide(this);
    };
 }

Kaluuya beat his Judas And The Black Messiah co-star Lakeith Stanfield to pick up the win, as well as Sacha Baron Cohen (The Trial Of The Chicago 7), Leslie Odom, Jr (One Night In Miami) and Paul Raci (Sound Of Metal).
During his acceptance speech for the film based on the Black Panthers, Kaluuya reminded Hollywood that there is still "work to do" in the journey to racial equality, both within the industry and society at large.
Kaluuya held up chairman Fred Hampton of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, whom he portrays in the film, as an example of how to help others. "What a man," he said as he collected the trophy. "How blessed are we that we live in a lifetime where he existed? Thank you for your light."

Cost-reducing solutions for getting the most out of your venue.
Venue rigging has its own unique characteristics that separate it from entertainment production for temporary structures. While much of the same equipment is used, installing and rigging in a permanent venue, such as an arena, stadium, or convention center needs to address requirements and logistics exclusive to that of venue installs. Mountain Productions provides a variety of venue installation services, including fall protection systems, arena reduction, sub-grids, automated intelligent control systems, and more.
Mountain Productions' venue installation systems are designed specifically for each of our clients, and our engineers will custom create solutions catering to your exact venue with safety as the number one priority. Additionally, our systems will not only improve your venue logistics for incoming events and shows, but also save you money by reducing long-term costs associated with outdated rigging arrangements. Our venue services are tailor fit to a diverse range of industries.
Entertainment venues, regardless of their size, rely on incoming talent and tours to fill their event slots. Integrating a Mountain Productions' venue install can improve rig time for artists' production crews which saves time and money on labor. Providing the most efficient way to rig will keep your venue booked and your audience (and crew) happy. Combine this with reliable fall protection systems at height to transform your venue into a modern hub of technology, safety, entertainment, and return business.
Stadiums and arenas are versatile venues that are used to host both sporting and entertainment events. By adapting to both, venues can reach a diverse audience and have the ability to bring in musical artists and talent between the sports season. Venues must be ready to meet the specific size and fan experience requirements that are unique to each artist or event in order to keep the crowds (and promoters) wanting to come back again and again. We can assist your team in finding the right systems that will increase productivity during production load ins and outs, so your sports schedule can run uninterrupted while bringing in the most popular entertainment talent.
In the corporate world, convention centers are akin to large stadiums, attracting enormous crowds for tradeshows and corporate events. Mountain Productions has a vast amount of experience in the corporate sector, and can help upgrade your convention center's installation systems. Tradeshows bring in countless vendors who require rig points and safe systems for rigging. We can help you modify your space to provide the most efficient environments for production crews.
Theatrical rigging doesn't have to involve dead hanging and antiquated systems anymore. With the rise of automated rigging systems and intelligent hoist control plus the option of an easy-to-rig sub-grid, theaters have the ability to feature more shows, and bring more crowds to their venue. Mountain Productions has worked with theaters for over 30 years' custom designing rigging solutions, and have the ability to cut your labor and maintenance costs down so you can distribute your budget on your entire theater experience, not just your building.
The key to saving money is to cut down labor costs and maintenance time on your venue. Automated rigging systems are more popular than ever, and give venue operators the power to control their chain hoists with a smart control system that streamlines workflows. Our automated rigging systems combine the legendary power of CM chain hoists with chain hoist control units that allow for pre-programmed positioning and load sensing. This ultimately reduces the venue's labor burden and makes your entertainment components easier to rig, move, and manage.
Arena reduction systems are modular solutions using chain hoists, truss and curtains that help mask off unused parts of your venue. These systems are typically used in large arenas, such as stadiums, to accommodate smaller size shows that might feel unfit for the grand scale of a large venue. What does this mean for your venue? More shows, more dates filled, more audience, and greater revenue generated.
The most important aspect of any venue is safety—both for your audience, your performers, and the crews rigging the show. Mountain Productions focuses on safety in each of our departments to ensure the proper safety systems are in place and trained upon. Our experience installing fall protection systems for venues is second-to-none, and we work with the highest quality brands in safety to provide the safest solutions available. Along with actual installation, our team provides consultation and training so that you can pinpoint the areas of your venue that need work, and what is already in place.
Implementing a sub-grid in a venue can do wonders for reducing your labor cost and maintenance. A sub-grid can transform the way your production crews rig with symmetrical rig bays and integrated fall protection systems. This saves a ton of time in production builds, and also avoids any accidental damage to your venue.
One of the many things that sets Mountain Productions apart from the competition is our engineering department. We have an in-house team of engineers led by a professional engineer that can design almost anything you can imagine. Our team is not only focused on temporary structures, but also permanent installation systems. We've worked with countless venues in the design and engineering phases, and fulfill each project all the way through quality control and post-installation services. By working from the beginning, our team can ensure that your requirements are met, and expectations exceeded.

Any idea how i can solve this problems?
Thanks

A: OK I've found my problem. It seems there was also a spring maven plugin dependency that was causing the problem. Thanks for the help

A: I have solved the same issue by upgrading log4j-code dependency to version 2.14.1

Trouble: Adele, Sony's Biggest Artist, Supports Kesha over Record Label at Brit Awards
by Roger Friedman - February 25, 2016 12:19 pm
Adele is Sony's biggest music artist of the moment. She's sold 9 million copies of her "25" album with no sign of slowing down.
And now Adele has endorsed Kesha, the artist who is suing Sony in what is becoming every day a bigger and bigger headache for the record label.
Adele joins Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato and two dozen more recording artists who have come to Kesha's aide since she broke down sobbing in court last week over her Sony contract. Kesha wants to break the contract because she says her producer, Dr. Luke, raped and terrorized her for years. She is utterly believable.
Whatever the truth, Sony should really let her out as soon as possible. What pop star would want to leave a 6 album contract with one of the top 3 recording companies unless something was very wrong. Kesha knows that neither Universal nor Warner will sign her after this. She'll become an indie act. She doesn't care. But she doesn't want to record under these circumstances.
Sony had better act fast. On Sunday Adele and Lady Gaga are each appearing on the Oscars. And they are going to be vocal about Kesha– particularly Lady Gaga.

Granite Mountain School – One of Eight STEM Certified Schools in Arizona

Qualifying to become a STEM Certified School by integrating Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines into the fifth and sixth grade educational experience resulted in high honors for Granite Mountain School (GMS) in Prescott. It is one of only eight schools in Arizona to be STEM Certified by the prestigious AdvancED International Education Accreditation organization for PreK-12 schools.
GMS also is one of only 140 schools internationally to earn that distinction.
Prescott Unified School DIstrict (PUSD) Superintendent Joe Howard praised GMS Principal Bruso and her faculty and staff. "To be unique in the state and the nation—that is taking things to a whole new level. We are all so proud of Teresa and her team for what they are doing."
He explained that restructuring of GMS four years ago led to its current academic focus. He said a group of teachers focused highly upon STEM and GMS took that a step further by developing curriculum and seeking Advanced ED STEM accreditation.
GMS Principal Teresa Bruso only received announcement of the honor four months ago.
She explained the school was evaluated during an on-site review of 11 STEM standards on which GMS had to meet the minimum to receive certification. She said the report indicated GMS did well beyond that. Further, GMS also included another broad discipline—the arts–thus making it a STEAM school.
Bruso said currently, 565 pupils were impacted by certification—278 fifth grade and 287 sixth grade students.
She also said, "We have 10 core teachers per grade level—20 teachers—who collectively teach in teams. Each 'team' consists of language arts, social science, and math and science teachers. They are exceptional."
Rebecca Horniman, PUSD marketing director, said STEM Certification provided GMS with a research-based framework and criteria for continuous improvement and assessment of STEM educational practices.
Located at 1800 N. Williamson Valley Road, GMS is among seven public schools administered by the Prescott Unified School District.

Blah summer movies this year were just the same old, same old
Melissa McCarthy, left, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon are the 2016 Ghostbusters, but since the film flopped at the box office don't expect a sequel. - photo by Chris Hicks
There's a consensus among professional and semiprofessional critics that summer 2016 was pretty miserable on the cinema front. And there are plenty of stories on the web by said critics that validate each other on that point.
Not that there havent been some box-office hits some big ones, in fact. But even some of the biggest summer blockbusters were dismissed by critics whose access to a keyboard has built up a sizable following.
Suicide Squad is perhaps the most obvious example, having accumulated a meager 26 percent rating at Rotten Tomatoes, the aggregate review website.
But critics arent alone on that one. Even fan ratings arent all that high, with nearly 124,000 Rotten Tomatoes readers giving Suicide Squad a moderate 67 percent while some 217,000 voters at the Internet Movie Database give it 6.7 points (out of 10).
But somebody must like it. A lot. Because the film has earned more than $300 million stateside, according to the statistical-tracking website Box Office Mojo, putting Suicide Squad at No. 8 for the year so far, and no movie does that without patrons returning to the theaters to see the film a second or third time.
And worldwide? Its No. 8 on that chart too, having raked more than $400 million in foreign sales for a worldwide total of $700 million.
Jason Bourne, with a middling 56 percent in favorable reviews at Rotten Tomatoes, demonstrates that Matt Damon still has serious marquee value, as that sequel is No. 9 for the year, earning $161.7 million domestically and $398.9 million worldwide (No. 14 on that list).
And Legend of Tarzan, which has a lowly 36 percent rating at Rotten Tomatoes, has made $126.6 million in North America (No. 15 on the year-end list) and $356 million internationally (No. 17).
Not that the worst movies were all hits. Some of the biggest flops of the past few months include the remakes of Ghostbusters and Ben-Hur and the sequels Zoolander No. 2, Independence Day: Resurgence, The Huntsman: Winters War, Alice Through the Looking Glass and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.
On the other hand, Warcraft was a stateside bomb but did tremendous business overseas. Domestically it earned just $47.2 million but foreign markets brought in another $386.3 million. (On the domestic chart its ranked at No. 44; on the worldwide chart its No. 12.)
That certainly speaks to the dominance of the international movie market.
Foreign box-office earnings have always been important to Hollywood, dating back to the silent era. But today, major studio movies carry the burden of backbreaking budgets. Each major studio picture costs tens of millions sometimes hundreds of millions to produce, and just to break even each film must earn more than twice its budget.
As a result, overseas bookings can rescue a film like never before.
So even though Ghostbusters earned $228 million worldwide, because the budget was $144 million the film is considered a bust. Dont expect a sequel.
On the other hand, the 2012 Tom Cruise vehicle Jack Reacher earned even less, $218 million worldwide but since the budget was $60 million youll see a second Jack Reacher film, subtitled Never Go Back, in theaters Oct. 21.
There are many more, but you get the idea.
Anyway, heres Box Office Mojos top 10 list for 2016 domestic box-office hits so far:
Finding Dory, $484.4 million
Captain America: Civil War, $408.1 million
The Secret Life of Pets, $364.9 million
The Jungle Book, $364 million
Deadpool, $363.1 million
Zootopia, $341.3 million
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, $330.4 million
Suicide Squad, $321 million
Jason Bourne, $161.7 million
Star Trek Beyond, $158.5 million
And the top 10 list for 2016 worldwide box-office hits so far:
Captain America: Civil War, $1.2 billion
Zootopia, $1 billion
The Jungle Book, $966.2 million
Suicide Squad, $738.8 million
The Mermaid, $553.8 million
X-Men Apocalypse, $543.6 million
Note that, aside from jostling for position, eight of the 10 films on each list are the same. And most of the differences arent that far apart. (X-Men: Apocalypse is No. 11 on the domestic list, and Jason Bourne and Star Trek Beyond didnt make the worldwide list but theyre still in the worldwide top 20.)
The only real anomaly is The Mermaid, a dark Chinese fantasy that has earned $550.6 million worldwide, but just $3.2 million of that came from U.S. theaters which actually says more about Americans disdain for reading subtitles than it does for the film itself.
And the only top 10 movie that isnt a summer release is Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which opened in March.
In fact, summer movies so dominate the box office that nine of the second 10 (on both domestic and worldwide lists) are also from that period.
And, as usual, animated features and superheroes dominate four of the domestic top 10 are cartoons and four are comic book heroes with superpowers. And Jason Bourne and Star Trek Beyond are sequels with heroic action characters.

Diplopia due to systemic lupus erythematosus in a child: a rare clinical presenting sign of the disease.
Georgakopoulos CD1, Kargiotis O, Eliopoulou MI, Makri OE, Exarchou AM, Papathanasopoulos P.
University of Patras, Patras, Greece. cgeorg@upatras.gr
We present the case of a 14-year-old girl who was admitted to the hospital with the complaint of horizontal diplopia for 48 hours. Initially, she was diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension. During hospitalization she developed fever, macular facial rash, and chest pain, and because of abnormal laboratory findings the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus was established. She received immunomodulatory therapy, a combination of corticosteroids, and intravenous infusions of the monoclonal antibody rituximab, which augmented her clinical improvement. Intracranial hypertension secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus is a rare manifestation, especially as a presenting symptom. In addition, the fact that the patient developed an aggressive form of systemic lupus erythematosus during the initial period of hospitalization for idiopathic intracranial hypertension is also uncommon. Moreover, to our knowledge, we are not aware of any published case reports of intracranial hypertension secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus that was treated with rituximab.

The lithe chairs of the Eames Aluminium Group have been a popular design since their introduction in 1958, and it's no wonder.
The graceful silhouette sits equally well in all kinds of home and workplace interiors.
A wide range of material options allows a personalised look that, with its distinctive form, provides a statement of enduring design excellence wherever they are placed.
It's uncanny how a chair designed in 1958 as outdoor seating still manages to look both classic and contemporary in twenty-first century interiors.
The chairs' clean, trim lines make them appropriate for all kinds of places, from classic and contemporary homes to elegant offices to hip start-ups.
Aluminium Group chairs, upholstered in traditional fabric or leather, are ribbed at 48mm intervals for a clean, refined appearance.
The Cygnus mesh option gives the chairs a lighter-scaled, translucent quality.
Never being ones to favour style over substance, Charles and Ray Eames gave their design an innovative suspension that creates a firm, flexible "sitting pocket" that conforms subtly to the body's shape. They created that suspension by stretching a continuous piece of seat-back upholstery tautly between lightweight aluminium side ribs.
Aluminium Group seat pads have layered construction with fabric or leather upholstery. Cygnus mesh is a self-contouring, flexing material available on Aluminium Group chairs to provide aeration, even weight distribution, and long-term comfort. Designed specifically for the Eames Aluminium Group, Cygnus is an elegant option.
Give this timeless design a high degree of personalisation through expansive material choices. Among these is the luxurious feel of leather, in contract-grade or premium MCL Leather, a semi-aniline, dyed leather with 100 percent natural full grain. Colour variations and surface marks are an inherent characteristic of this material, which will acquire wrinkles and creases and develop a rich patina over time.
To complement lighter materials, we offer powder coat finishes on the base and frame, along with traditional polished aluminium. Chairs with the 4-star base come with glides that are easy on any floor covering, while chairs with a 5-star base have a choice of casters for bare floors or carpeting.
With one-piece, curved aluminium side ribs and die-cast aluminium base, the chair is strong, yet lightweight and easy to move.
Aluminium Group chairs began as a challenge among legendary designers. Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard were designing the Columbus, Indiana, home of J. Irwin Miller, founder of Cummins Engines. They wanted a high-quality seating product for outdoor use and asked Charles and Ray Eames to develop one. The Eameses accepted.
Known for their honest use of materials, the Eameses constructed their chairs with cast aluminium and a seat frame meant to support a stretched synthetic mesh. The seat-back suspension was a major technical achievement and represented a departure from the concept of the chair as a solid shell.
We began making the Aluminium Group chairs in 1958. In 1969, the Eameses extended the original design by adding plush, individually upholstered cushions. They named these the Soft Pad chairs. The chairs' simple lines, innovative use of materials, and suspension comfort have kept them among the most popular seating choices for both offices and homes for more than 50 years.

Not a shock. The UN has had a serious child-rape problem for years.

And this might be the classic: a child porn studio in the basement of the Brussels United Nations Children's Fund builiding.
But the UN is not alone. Last week the charity and haven for noxious busy bodies, Oxfam, revealed that its workers had extracted sexual favors from women they were supposed to be assisting after the Haiti earthquake.

BBC publishes video showing 6-year-olds being made to write gay love letters to promote diversity

Sarah TaylorSTAFF WRITER
The BBC's Radio Manchester shared a video on the organization's Facebook page in September that's making the rounds and going viral.
What's the video all about?
The video features 6-year-olds writing letters from one male story character to another male story character, imploring him to marry the other.
Featuring pupils from Bewsey Lodge Primary School — which is in Warrington, in England's Cheshire region — the video shows children pen a note from "Prince Henry" to his servant "Thomas."
The students' teacher, Sarah Hopson, told the BBC what was happening in the video — which, at the time of this writing, has been viewed more than 180,000 times.
"This class of 6-year-olds is learning about gay marriage. In this fairy tale, the prince wants to marry his [male] servant. And the children are writing a love letter," Hopson said.
She noted that she believes it's important for children to learn about gay marriage at such a young age because those same children would "go out into that world and find this diversity around them, and they'll find that out at a young age as well."
"[T]he more [children] can be accepting at this age, you're not going to face it further on, because the children will be accepting now and will be accepting this diversity around them," she added.
According to Bewsey Lodge Primary School's website, the school teaches "PSHE," which stands for "Personal, Social, and Health Education." Under the PSHE umbrella, topics like transgenderism, sexuality, and relationships are discussed. PSHE is taught from nursery age to year 6. Additionally, the school has "non-gender-specific" uniforms.
Anything else? In June, the school received an award and became the first school in the region to win a LGBT+ award. According to the Warrington Guardian, the school received the "Educate and Celebrate" Best Practice Gold Award. The award was for tackling "homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic bullying in schools," according to the outlet.

FORMER POLICE DETECTIVE 'COMMITS SUICIDE' DAYS AFTER RELEASING BOOK EXPOSING ELITE PEDOPHILE RING
Family believes author was murdered for telling the truth
Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com - AUGUST 28, 2018
A former police detective in South Africa who published a book exposing members of an alleged elite pedophile ring killed himself just days later, with his family believing that the man's death was actually murder.
Mark Minnie's book, The Lost Boys of Bird Island, claims to prove that members of South Africa's last Apartheid government took children to Bird Island, just off the coast of Port Elizabeth, where they were sexually abused and in some cases killed.
"The book details the corruption within the last Apartheid government of South Africa and implicated officials all the way to the top, including defense minister Magnus Malan and the minister of environmental affairs John Wiley," reports the Free Thought Project.
Shortly before his death, Minnie revealed that he had been approached by more sources with more damning evidence and that a sequel was in the works.
The book was published on August 5, but just nine days later Minnie was dead, having apparently shot himself in the head.
However, Tersia Dodo, a family member of Minnie, told reporters that Minnie had insisted that if anything happened to him, to treat it as murder.
"He mentioned to us all the time that his life was in danger and if anything did happen to him we must know that it was done to him not by himself," she said.
"Mark was not a coward, Mark faced life head on," she added. "There is no ways that I or any of us believed that he would have opted out and that is why I agreed to do this interview to dispel any thoughts and rumors of suicide. He was not the type of man that was cowardly and that would do something like that."
Dodo said that the suicide note found near Minnie's body was either a fake or written under duress.
As we document in the video below, while the media obsesses about 'Pizzagate' and other dubious conspiracies about high level pedophile rings, the sexual abuse of children and its link to politicians, judges and celebrities is a common theme all over the world.

Mel Gibson: Hollywood Is 'Den Of Parasites' Who 'Feast On Blood Of Kids'
November 30, 2017 Baxter Dmitry Entertainment 845
Hollywood studios are "drenched in the blood of innocent children" according to Mel Gibson who claims the consumption of "baby blood is so popular in Hollywood that it basically operates as a currency of its own."
Hollywood elites are an "enemy of mankind continually acting contrary to our best interests" and "breaking every God given taboo known to man, including the sanctity of children," Mel Gibson said in London, where he is promoting his role in Daddy's Home 2, his most prominent on-screen role in years.
"It's an open secret in Hollywood. These people have their own religious and spiritual teachings and their own social and moral frameworks. They have their sacred texts – they are sick, believe me – and they couldn't be more at odds with what America stands for."
Mel Gibson appeared on the Graham Norton Show on the BBC on Friday, and he schooled shocked guests about the real nature of Hollywood elites in the green room backstage after his appearance.
Explaining that he spent the last ten years "working on my own ideas, outside of the Hollywood system" after being blacklisted by Hollywood in 2006 for sharing opinions about the industry and the world that run counter to liberal orthodoxy, Gibson said, "I don't know how to break it to you gently… Hollywood is institutionalized pedophilia.
"They are using and abusing kids."
"They churn through a huge amount of kids every year. Their spiritual beliefs, if you can call them that, direct them to harvest the energy of the kids. They feast on this stuff and they thrive on it," the Hacksaw Ridge director said.
"What do I mean? This isn't some kind of artistic abstraction. They harvest the blood of children. They eat their flesh. They believe this gives them life force. If the child was suffering in body and psyche before it died, they believe this gives them extra life force."
"There is a creative and loving force inside most of us that guides us through life. These people don't have this. For them it's the opposite."
According to Mel Gibson, who has spent 30 years in and out of the Hollywood system, the industry elites "thrive on pain, trauma, stress, abuse, and suffering."
"Hollywood is drenched in the blood of innocent children. For a long time all the references to pedophilia and cannibalism were symbolic or allusive. But I was personally introduced to the practice in the early 2000s. I can talk about this now because these people, the execs, they're dead now."
"The blood of a sexually abused infant is considered highly 'enriched' and is highly prized. The money changing hands, the favors, the kickbacks – you have no idea. Babies are a high-functioning currency all of their own. Babies are their premium brand of high-grade caviar cocaine diamond steak."
But according to Gibson this isn't a flavor-of-the-month perversion, popular among men and women who have grown bored of standard issue sins.
"This isn't anything new. If you do some research you will see it's a metaphysical, alchemical phenomenon and you can find it behind the scenes in all the dark eras in history.
"It's a dark, multidimensional occult art and practice, used by secret societies in the last few hundred years for social programming and mind control, and raised to a zenith by Hollywood in America in our era."

There is a war on boys in America: chemical "castration" (ritalin), the mythology of #ADD, the scourge of pedophilia (#NAMBLA), the feminist jihad against virtually all normal male behavior in pre-teens and teens, etc. It is open war on boys and the prognosis is devastating.
Former United Nations Boss Claims UN Employs 3,300 Pedophiles
https://yournewswire.com/united-nations-employs-pedophiles/
August 8, 2018 Baxter Dmitry News, World 0
A former United Nations aid boss has claimed the UN employs "at least 3,300 pedophiles" and says UN staff could have carried out 60,000 rapes in the last decade while indulging in unchecked sex abuse around the world while protected by the international organization.
Former senior United Nations official Andrew Macleod made the bombshell claims in a dossier handed over to British DFID Secretary Priti Patel last year.
In the dossier, Professor Macleod estimated there are at least 3,300 paedophiles working for the world body's various agencies alone and thousands more "predatory" sex abusers specifically target aid charity jobs to get close to vulnerable women and children.
Professor MacLeod also says there has been an "endemic" cover-up of the sickening crimes for two decades by the United Nations, with the UN firing anybody who attempts to blow the whistle on pedophilia within the global organization.
Sharing his dossier with British newspaper The Sun, Professor MacLeod warned that the spiralling abuse scandal was on the same scale as the Catholic Church's.
The respected academic said: "There are tens of thousands of aid workers around the world with paedophile tendencies, but if you wear a UNICEF T-shirt nobody will ask what you're up to.
"You have the impunity to do whatever you want.
"It is endemic across the aid industry across the world".
"The system is at fault, and should have stopped this years ago."
United Nations headquarters in New York.
The Sun reports: Professor MacLeod worked as an aid boss for the UN all over the world, including high profile jobs in the Balkans, Rwanda and Pakistan – where he was chief of operations of the UN's Emergency Coordination Centre.
He is campaigning for far tougher checks on aid workers in the field as well as the abusers among them to be brought to justice, and wants the UK to lead the fight.
The professor's grim 60,000 figure is based on UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres's admission last year that UN peacekeepers and civilian staff abused 311 victims in just one 12 month period over 2016.
The UN also admits that the likely true number of cases reported against its staff is double that, as figures outside of war zones are not centrally collated.
Prof MacLeod also estimates that only one in 10 of all rapes and assaults by UN staff are reported, as even in the UK the reporting rate is just 14 per cent.
Based on evidence from Prof MacLeod, ex-Cabinet minister Priti Patel – who resigned in November last year – today accused senior officials at DFID of being part of the cover up.
Professor MacLeod lhas warned that the spiralling abuse scandal was on the same scale as the Catholic Church's.
Ms Patel said senior DFID staff tried to talk her out of making a critical speech about aid workers' sex abuse, arguing that it was only by UN soldiers and to claim otherwise was "over-stepping the mark".
Britain is one of the top 10 contributors to the UN budget, handing over £2 billion ($2.57 billion) a year.
Prof MacLeod insisted that meant the "difficult truth" that "child rape crimes are being inadvertently funded in part by United Kingdom tax-payer".
He added: "I know there were a lot of discussions at senior levels of the United Nations about 'something must be done' but nothing effective came of it, and if you look at the record of whistleblowers, they were fired.
"We are looking at a problem on the scale of the Catholic Church — if not bigger."
Senior Tory MP Conor Burns, who is Boris Johnson's parliamentary aide, dubbed the Oxfam furore as just "the tip of an iceberg in finding out what has been going on".
Mr Burns was a university friend of Prof MacLeod and called for him to be listened to very seriously.
Mr Burns added: "I believe that there has been systematic, organised and covered-up activity going on over many, many years".
Penny Mordaunt tonight vowed to "step up our work to tackle sexual exploitation and abuse across the UN and other international organisations".
In September last year, PM Theresa May also threatened to withhold cash from the UN and demanded it "win back trust".
The Prime Minister's office today insisted there will be "zero tolerance" towards any acts of sexual abuse.
But Downing Street ducked out of ordering any investigation into Ms Patel's allegations, despite their seriousness.
DFID also said "there no current investigations" into any senior officials turning a blind eye to abuse.
One angry Tory MP said Theresa May was refusing to act because the claims.
Commons Development Select Committee chair Stephen Twigg announced his MPs will grill aid bosses and ministers over the scandal as soon as Parliament returns from its half term break next Tuesday.

On January 3, the Calleguas Municipal Water District (Calleguas) will begin construction activities to relocate a 48-inch diameter pipeline that provides water service to much of the Thousand Oaks area. Originally installed in 1965, the Conejo Valley Feeder delivers water to residents and businesses in the central and western portions of the valley.
During construction, vehicular traffic will be constrained in both directions to allow construction crews adequate space to install the new pipe and connect it with the existing pipeline beyond the bridge's support columns. The left of the two eastbound lanes will be closed for the duration of the project, scheduled for completion by May 2011. The right eastbound lane will remain open and be modified to allow vehicles to either continue along Olsen Road to Simi Valley or access the northbound highway onramp. The left westbound lane on Olsen Road will also be closed between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily. Project updates will be posted to Calleguas' web site at www.calleguas.com.
Calleguas is one of twenty-six member agencies of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and the primary urban water supplier in Ventura County, providing water service to a population of over 600,000. Through a variety retail water agencies and companies, Calleguas provides water to the cities of Oxnard, Camarillo, Moorpark, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, and Port Hueneme as well as surrounding unincorporated areas.

Police descend on Stoke-on-Trent beauty spot after report of girl, 11, being 'abducted' by masked motorist and 'dragged into woods'
Staffordshire Police are investigating
Police at Park Hall Country Park after a report of a girl being 'abducted'
Police are investigating reports that an 11-year-old girl was 'abducted' by a masked motorist before being 'dragged' into woods at a beauty spot.
They descended on Park Hall Country Park, near Weston Coyney, after the schoolgirl was said to have been 'snatched' from a Bentilee street in broad daylight.
It has sparked an appeal for sightings of a small white car in Pillar Close, Onsetter Road, and Dividy Road, in Bentilee, at around 2.30pm on Tuesday, July 28.
UPDATE: Police have now issued an update on this story. More here
In a post on social media, one relative said: "The guy knew what he was doing as he had a black scarf covering his face.
"He eventually dragged her into the woods at Park Hall and she was able to run and call for help. The police managed to get to her."
Staffordshire Police are yet to make any arrest.
A police spokesman said: "We have received a report and officers are currently investigating. A girl is safe and well.
"We understand some people will be concerned but officers are continuing with their inquiries and will provide an update in due course."
Anyone who saw the girl in Bentilee or at Park Hall Country Park should call the police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.

Copyright of building design
Copyright is one of a number of rights that protect intellectual property. Copyright is the right of an author, artist or composer to prevent another person copying an original work. It applies to 'work' not to ideas. The right is given by the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988.
Its origins go back to the history of printing, but the first Copyright Act was passed in 1709. In 1911 protection under the Act was extended to cover architectural works, and in the 1941 case of Meikle v Maufe, an architect successfully sued their client for employing another architect to extend the Heals' shop on Tottenham Court Road by replicating their design. In 1998, protection was extended to cover databases.
The test for copyright is one of originality, the bar for which is relatively low. It is an automatic right, that does not have to be registered, however it may require proof of who created the work and when. This can simply be a matter of record keeping, however, the inclusion of the copyright symbol, name and date can be useful in avoiding confusion, and the possibility of a person who infringes copyright arguing that they were unaware of the infringement.
Copyright protects drawings, diagrams, maps, charts, plans and models as well as actual buildings. Copyright extends for the lifetime of the creator, and a further 70 years from the end of the year in which they died (or the latest such date where it is a joint work). Copyright in a work of architecture is not infringed by making a representation of it, so for example photos can be taken.
Copyright will normally reside with the creator. So in the case of an architectural design, the copyright will reside with the architect who created it. However, where an architect is an employee, working in the course of their employment, then copyright will automatically reside with the practice that employs them. Practices must make a decision about whether they will allow private work to remain the copyright of an employee or whether this will be barred by the terms of employment, and must be careful when employing free-lance designers or agency staff to ensure that the terms of employment give the copyright in their work to the practice.
Copyright will remain with the creator not with the client, unless the appointment agreement states otherwise. Forms of appointment such as the RIBA Standard Form of Agreement generally give the client a license to use the design for the purposes it was intended provided that it relates to the site, or part of the site to which the design relates, and provided that any fees due have been paid. This can be varied by agreement to assign copyright to the client, but architects must be careful here to understand what they are assigning, for example does it prevent the future use of details that the architect has developed. Generally, they will still have the right to reproduce parts of a design in subsequent designs as long as they do not reproduce the main design.
Particular care should be taken in the case of designs that are created where a standard form of appointment has not been signed, for example in tender submissions or competition entries.
The appointment agreement (or terms implied into the agreement) will generally enable the client to use designs for the purpose for which they were intended. This might for example mean that planning drawings could be used to seek planning permission, but not to construct the works without the express permission of the architect. Generally reconstruction of a building following the original drawings does not constitute an infringement, but there is no implied license to extend the building using the original design.
If a client sells a site with planning permission, the designs that were used to apply for planning permission may not be available to construct the design without the permission of the creator, depending on the nature of the original appointment. If a client proceeds in the development of a design with another designer, again depending on the original appointment, they may not be able to use that design, even if it is modified, without the permission of the creator.
Clients may need to take particular care where an architect is not appointed directly by them. For example where they are a consultant to the main contractor.
Copyright is infringed where either the whole or a substantial part of a work is used without permission. It is generally considered that even a small part of the work qualifies as 'substantial'. Infringement can result in an injunction to prevent further infringement, delivery of any infringing materials and payment of damages.
NB The position in relation to Building Information Modelling (BIM) is essentially the same. Under the CIC BIM Protocol, a license from the client enables project team members to use models prepared by other project team members, but if the client wishes third parties to use the model, a new license may be required.

Further information on the quarterly results can be obtained from the Company's Q2 2016 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A").
To ensure clarity and comparability with historic results, certain statements in this news release and in the MD&A are characterized as BioteQ's "proportional" share, which means the effective portion of results that BioteQ would have reported if each of its joint ventures had been reported in accordance with past accounting standards. For further details, please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in the Company's Q2 2016 MD&A.
Q2 2016 Financial Results
The Company reported the following results for the second quarter:
Revenues as reported under GAAP were $644,000 compared to $286,000 in Q2 2015;
Proportional revenues were $2.4 million compared to $2.3 million in Q2 2015, an increase of 5% compared to the same period in the prior year;
Results for the quarter includes a one-time, non-cash, foreign exchange loss of approximately $1.4 million. This adjustment is a result of cumulative foreign exchange adjustments related to the company's Australian subsidiary;
Net loss as reported under GAAP was $1.6 million compared to $306,000 in Q2 2015;
Adjusted income before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") was $71,000 compared to a loss of $49,000 in Q2 2015;
Cash and cash equivalents reported under GAAP as of June 30, 2016 was $316,000 compared to $1,409,000 at December 31, 2015; and
Proportional cash and cash equivalents and short term investments, which includes our share held in joint ventures, as of June 30, 2016 was $892,000 compared to $2.1 million at the end of 2015.
Subsequent to the end of Q2 2016, BioteQ completed a convertible loan ("Loans") for gross proceeds of $1.5 million. The Loans are secured and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Upon repayment of the Loans, each lender may elect to convert all or any portion of the repaid principal into common shares of BioteQ at a conversion price of $0.06 cents per share.
The proceeds of the Loans will be used to fund general operating expenses and ensure BioteQ has the financial resources to continue executing on its longer term growth strategy.
Water Treatment Operations
During the quarter, BioteQ commenced its 13th season of water treatment operations at the Raglan Mine site in Quebec. During the quarter, BioteQ treated 42,000 cubic metres of water. BioteQ expects to conclude the season's operations by mid-Q4 of this year.
BioteQ's joint venture in China with partner Jiangxi Copper Company ("JCC") operated three plants during the quarter. Two of the plants are located at the Dexing Mine site as well as a plant at the Yinshan Mine site. Both mine sites are owned by JCC. The joint venture treated a total of 6.7 million cubic metres of water and recovered 1.3 million pounds of copper from all three sites during the quarter.
Sales and New Technology Development
The following is an update on key sales opportunities in progress:
Design, Construction, and Commissioning Services
In Q2 2016, BioteQ continued providing commissioning services for a water treatment plant at the Silvertip project in Northern BC. The plant has been commissioned and is available for water treatment operations.
Lab Testing Contracts
During the quarter, BioteQ completed contracts with customers in Canada and Latin America to perform lab scale testing of our technologies at various mine sites. These tests will allow the customers to assess BioteQ's technologies and provide high level cost estimates for a possible full scale plant. If results prove favourable, it may lead to additional services including pilot scale testing, design, construction, and operation of a full scale plant in the future.
During the quarter, BioteQ continued to provide water management consulting services for a mine site in Mongolia. BioteQ's scope of services include the design and operation of weather and water measurement systems and analysis. BioteQ expects to conclude its scope and provide a final report by the end of the year. Based on results, BioteQ will propose long term water management systems to the client.
Zinc and Copper Recovery – Joint Venture
BioteQ completed its detailed technical and economic assessment of a new treatment plant to be installed at an active smelter in China. The proposed new treatment plant has completed environmental permitting and BioteQ is working closely with a potential new partner on forming a joint venture to deliver the treatment plant for the smelter under a Build-Own-Operate business model. Once final terms are agreed upon, BioteQ expects to commence construction in Q3 2016 and commissioning and operations in early 2017. Under current terms being negotiated, BioteQ expects to receive a fixed-fee, technical support contract and an ongoing share of the profits from the operation.
Q1 2016 COMMENTARY AND 2016 OUTLOOK
In the first half of 2016, BioteQ won contracts to provide design, construction, and commissioning services for several projects to advance opportunities BioteQ expects will lead to long term recurring revenues. While many of these contracts are relatively small in monetary value, they represent the initial stages of longer term projects where BioteQ can expect to generate significantly more revenue as the projects advance through the development stages.
For the remaining half of 2016, the most significant opportunities BioteQ is pursuing include a Selen-IX™ pilot campaign with a new Canadian based customer, completion of detailed design and engineering for a SART project in Mexico, and beginning construction of the zinc/copper recovery plant in China with its new joint venture partner.
Although these projects provide significant opportunities for future one-time and recurring revenues, the short term cash flow potential is limited. As a result, subsequent to the end of Q2 2016, BioteQ completed a $1.5 million financing with various lenders including major shareholders, directors, executives and employees of the company. The funds will be used to meet current working capital needs to ensure that BioteQ's management has the financial resources to continue executing on its longer term growth strategy.

Flaky buttermilk biscuits from scratch are totally worth it.
Making buttery, flaky biscuits from scratch sounds like a lot of work. Measuring tons of ingredients, mixing, kneading…why not pop open a tube of Pillsbury and just call it a day?
Enter these magical three-ingredient biscuits from Southern Living. Literally: Just. Three. Ingredients. All you need are self-rising flour, butter, and buttermilk. The secret is in the technique; follow it exactly, and you'll end up with light, flaky, moist biscuits every time.
Just freeze a stick of butter, then grate with a box grater. The cold grated butter will distribute through the dough evenly, resulting in a lighter, fluffier biscuit.
Once you add the buttermilk, stir the mixture 15 times—no more, no less. Trust the Southern Living test kitchen: this is the magic number they found led to the best results.
