NTSB launches a cargo plane crash investigation
Federal investigators on Sunday crossed the wreckage of a cargo plane flying to the Amazon, who crashed into a bay before Houston, killing all three people aboard.
A group of investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board, known as the" Go Team, "arrived in Texas Saturday night to initiate the investigation, called black boxes containing cockpit voice recordings and flight data, to determine the cause of the crash, said NTSB Chairman Robert Sumavalt at a press conference Sunday afternoon
Black Boxes send signals so they can be located, but the dense mud of the area can complicate this effort. The situation that we can to confront the fact that these pingers can be embedded so much in the mud that their effectiveness can be reduced, "said Sumwalt, who can be sent to look for black boxes or bay areas to be thrown out. a video shot from the Chambers County prison about a half and a half, showing the plane in a "steep, downhill", said Sumavalt, adding that there was no disaster signal from the plane and no unsafe materials
The crew of an airplane and was informed by air traffic light to heavy rain, but Sumvalt said it was too early to understand the cause of the crash.
Researchers will review records of employment and training of people on board and aircraft maintenance records. The investigation, which will be led by NTSB, will include the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Aviation Administration, Atlas Air and its pilots' union, as well as Boeing and General Electric, who produced the aircraft's engines.
Atlas Air Flight 3591 traveled from Miami to Houston when he ran into Trinity Bay.
A video shot at the site of the local news crash revealed debris in the bay, including some of the material that seemed to have been part of the Amazon logo. Chrysler County Sheriff Brian Hutter said law enforcement officials have noticed items, including sheets, ladies' clothes, and cardboard boxes in the bay. together with the Air Transport Services Group. Each manages 20 Amazon airplanes for cargo air transportation, formerly called Prime Air.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the crew, their families and friends, along with the whole Atlas Air team during this terrible tragedy," Dave Clark, vice president of Amazon around the world, said in a statement Saturday, who responded urgently to provide support. "

Shin Buddhism: An Introduction
Booksellers Click Here!
This is a simple and clear introduction to Shin Buddhism or Jodo Shinshu, a school of Japanese Buddhism founded by a priest named Shinran (1173-1263). Although the school has by far the largest number of followers in Japan led by the Honganji (East) and Hongwanji (West) Temples, and transported abroad by Japanese immigrants and became the basis of the Buddhist Churches of America, Buddhist Temples of Canada, Jodo Shinshu Brazil, and Pure Land Buddhism in Europe, it is not as well-known in the rest of the world as some other schools of Buddhism simply because of the lack of appropriate and readable pieces literature.
About Takafumi Hirose
Takafumi (Taka) Hirose was born in 1948 as a son of a Shin Buddhist priest in a small village in central Japan. It is the tradition of Shin Buddhism in Japan for one particular family to take care of a temple generation after generation. Being the first son of the family, in accordance with the tradition, he entered priesthood at the age of nine, which is the youngest age permitted, and started his training to be a full priest.
When we talk about the true teachings, the next question is: How can we tell whether certain teachings are true and others are not? And how can we tell whether certain deeds or acts are in accord with the true teachings? As you go through the Sutras, it does not say every time that such and such teachings are true and others are not.

SpaceWatchtower: Meteorite Statue: "Pseudo-Tibetan" ?
A Buddha statue dating back to the 8th to 10th centuries is carved from a rare iron meteorite.
Researchers who reported that a potentially ancient Buddha statue is carved from a meteorite said they are not surprised that an expert in Buddhist history believes the statue to be a fake.
"Honestly, that is what we expected," said Elmar Buchner, who along with his colleague reported on the statue in September in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science. "We heard so many opinions from so many experts in art history and experts for Buddhism on the origins and the age of the statue prior to and after the publication."

South America is a continent of contrasts and extremes. From remote islands like the Galapagos to colourful cities like Buenos Aires; from the glamorous beaches of Rio de Janeiro to the lush rainforests of the Amazon, South America is bound to astound, amaze, and leave many lasting memories for any traveller.
British Airways serves a number of major South American cities. You'll also find excellent connections with Spanish and Portuguese carriers such as Iberia and TAP Airlines - the latter of which is especially good for flights to Brazil.
Most countries in South America don't have an extensive rail network, and cross-country railways are non existent. The best way to travel around South America is either by bus or by flying. Note that Union of South American Nations gives visa-free access and a customs union between all countries in South America.
Spanish is the official language in all countries except Brazil, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. The languages of these countries are Portuguese, English, Dutch and French respectively.

Very Nice article Mike. I stay ready to enter in choas, mercy is heart felt and if you have the right heart you can feel the mercy of others.
How beautifuly put. I will be shraring this phrase with others.


Inequity in access to essential pain relief and palliative care is one of the world's most striking injustices, says Lancet study.
The Lancet commission on Global Access to Palliative Care and Pain Relief which included 61 authors from 25 countries, has published their report ahead of world palliative care day which falls on 14 October 2017. Of the 6 crores of people worldwide who need palliative care, 1/6th, that is one crore, are in India. Only a tiny minority of them has access to basic pain relief or palliative care.
Though the government of India announced a national program for palliative care in 2012, the budget allocation has been grossly inadequate and progress in the last five years is negligible. The Indian Parliament changed its draconian Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, a major hindrance to access to pain relief, in 2014; but even today most Indian states have not implemented it. And sadly, basic pain management and principles of palliative care are even now not taught to medical and nursing students.
The theme of world palliative care day 2017 exhorts, "Don't leave those suffering behind". "People with advanced illness and pain are weakened by disease; they have no voice. Only a public outcry against the injustice done to them can save the situation", says Dr.M.R.Rajagopal, the chairman of Pallium India who is one of the five lead authors of the Lancet report.
Pallium India announces Rajam S. Nair endowment prize essay competition open to undergraduate and postgraduate students in India.
The theme for write-up is the same as that of World Palliative Care Day 2017: "Palliative care and Universal Health Coverage: Do not leave those suffering behind".
Please download this file for further details on the competition and the prizes.
Pallium India celebrated World Palliative Care Day with a get-together of patients and families at Government Youth Hostel, Trivandrum. Famous playback singer G Venugopal inaugurated the function and mesmerised the audience with his songs. The event, titled "Thalolam 2017" was a full-day program and was attended by people who are wheelchair bound or suffering from life limiting diseases, and their families.
Dr. Biju Prabhakar IAS, Secretary, Social justice department, delivered the keynote address. Kalyan Ram, DGM, State Bank of India and Dr. C Mohanan Pallium India trustee spoke on the occasion. After lunch, there were cultural programs by patients, Mentalism show by Preeth Azheekkode and performace by Balloon Artiste Shijina Preeth.
Our sincere gratitude to everyone who stood with us and supported us.
One of South India's leading deemed universities, Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth (SBV), Puducherry, has started the process of incorporating palliative care into its undergraduate medical curriculum.
We are certain that this would encourage all such institutions to bring in changes that allow professionals to work with more humaneness. Pallium India is proud to collaborate with Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth for this noble cause.
As per Human Rights Watch report, 'Unbearable Pain, India's Obligation to Ensure Palliative Care' (2009), only 5 out of 300 medical colleges in India have integrated some instruction on palliative care into their curricula. Capacity building through palliative care education is also one of the recommendations by WHO. Palliative care approach envisages application of palliative care principles appropriately into practice by healthcare professionals.
We could firmly say that students of SBV are already into palliative care – if wall paintings in their palliative care ward and volunteering works by students are anything to go by. If SBV train students to make their patients smile wholeheartedly, it will be difficult for other students to compete with them without this important training! Moreover, life threatening conditions, dying, end-of-life care and death cannot be ignored anymore.
Moonshine Agency based in Australia introduces you to the film Hippocratic: 18 Experiments in Gently Shaking the World.
This is a feature film length biopic that uses the narrative of Dr. M R Rajagopal to shine a light on the existing plight of people in India and other developing countries in dire need of palliative care.
It is a powerful depiction of not just what the Hippocratic oath calls upon the medical community to do, but also challenges the increasingly profit-centric systems and the erosion of ethics that have transformed what should be 'health care' into the 'health industry'.
Hippocratic's emphasis is on access to palliative care, social justice and equitable healthcare. It is also a celebration of the indomitable human spirit, and the power that we as an evolving society wield to lift up our fellow humans from the depths of despair and darkness, into a life of dignity, free of pain.
Hippocratic is the work of Australia-based Moonshine Agency, directed and produced by Mike Hill.
The 25th Annual Conference of the Indian Association of Palliative Care (IAPCON 2018) will be held from 23rd to 25th February, 2018, at Jawaharlal Auditorium, AIIMS, New Delhi. The theme of the conference is Create, Collaborate and Communicate.
Last date to submit abstracts: 30th October, 2017.
The program was organized to spread the message of palliative care to the public, to declare palliative care as a right of every individual.
Young artist Anavadya, who has always been a keen supporter of palliative care, enthralled everyone once again with her caricature skills.
"I think you should accept it gracefully," said Dr Rajagopal, when someone expressed interest in helping me financially. That was the first time anyone had suggested to me the idea of "accepting help gracefully". Those were my initial days in Pallium India.
In a recent TED video, Michele L. Sullivan describes how "Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness". As a person who asks for and receives help from several others on a day-to-day basis, Dr Rajagopal's and Michele Sullivan's words have had a huge impact in my life. It takes a lot of courage to accept my helplessness and ask for assistance, whether it is to my best friend or to a stranger. In fact, it takes more courage to accept each one of them with grace and to be grateful at the end of the day for all the help received. And believe me, you are peaceful and your life is beautiful when you are ready to ask for help and accept it gracefully when offered.
The grave consequence and risk of error in an advance decision on agreement by family and doctors, and the decision rendered by the court are not so different.
This judgement could be of some significance to us. In the absence of any law on the subject in the country, we understand that a British court's decision may carry some influence over the decisions of the judiciary in India, while deciding future cases including review petitions, if any.
Hospice Bangladesh along with Aastha, Telecare and Dhaka Medical College celebrated the day by introducing the global participatory public art project: 'Before I Die' on the Medical College campus, where people expressed their aspirations in life, something they want to fulfill before they die.
The wall is a movement that opens the conversation about death and encourages people to start important healthcare conversations before they become urgent.
As many who wrote on the wall expressed, they want a cancer free life, a healthy life, and a disease free life before they die.
Pallium India's Facebook page has over 5000 Likes. We regularly post articles related to palliative care from around the world.
Our world will no more be a confined place to live, for people with disability – if we all set our hearts to it.
Three patients under rehabilitation in Pallium India's "half-way home" enjoyed an evening seeing beautiful flowers, birds, animals and many other fellow beings. This could not have been possible without a wheelchair friendly vehicle donated by State Bank of India (SBI).
The happiness that springs in their eyes tells us how much and how long they missed all such lovely things in life. One of the patients, with her husband and little one, was so worried to sit for more than a few minutes but the walk made her confident enough to sit for quite long and she is trying to do her activities of daily living. As a social worker – indeed, as a human being – I am very glad that I could also be a part of this change that made her laugh and try.
The little we are able to do to make their days brighter is something we cherish as an organization. We care for you and we are always with you, we will not restrict you because we respect you.
Thanks to all my colleagues for making this happen; and I await more such memorable days.
Thank you, SBI, for this very valuable gift.

Business Technology : IPhones Take Over the Internet [WSJ]
Pretty amazing...
We've always felt that the iPhone's game-changing feature was its Web browser. Now we have proof: iPhone owners were responsible for nearly one out of every 1,000 Web page views last month. This erases any doubt that the future of mobile devices most certainly includes the Web.
IPhone owners embraced the browser to the extent that they represented 0.09% of all Web pages viewed in November. That doesn't sound like much, but consider that through September, Apple had only sold 1.4 million iPhones. As a point of comparison, devices running every version of Windows mobile operating system combined made up 0.06% of Web page views
Business Technology : IPhones Take Over the Internet


Is now the right time in my life to have a deep, meaningful long term relationship?
I've had women say to me, "When I find the relationship, then I'll make the time." It doesn't work like that. If you say that your number one priority is to have great love in your life, to need to reorganize and be creative about it. If you know that you need to be at a desk from 9-7 every day, you are able to reserve time for grocery shopping and fitness. You have to make the time for a relationship as well.
What are the heart traits and qualities that your soul is calling for the most?
Having clarity about the person you want to be in a relationship with is key. You have to ask yourself, "What kind of person do I want to be with?" "What are my three must-have qualities and my three deal breakers?" This differs from a grocery list. You're not shopping for a person; you're looking for someone to spend the rest of your life with.
For myself, I needed someone who was generous. Not with their wallet, but with their love, affection, attention, appreciation, and time. Knowing these qualities ahead of time makes the sorting process that much easier as you are meeting people.
Some people are certain that they want to get married and have children. Other people proclaim they don't ever want to get married again, and just want a committed, monogamous relationship while living together. This can also be a choice while living apart, or something else. As you are going through the dating/sorting process, you can find somebody who wants the same thing you want. If what you want is marriage and children, you don't want to be with a divorced man who doesn't wish to take part in sacred vows and sign legal documents again. This can't be a spontaneous decision.
How much love do I currently have in my life?
The truth is, if you sit down with pen and paper, and create a long list of the love you already have in your life – parents, grandparents, children, siblings, friends, coworkers, pets – you'll realize that you are worthy of receiving and loving in return.
Also, create a "Daily Gratitude Process" for yourself. Every day, look at this list, and fill yourself up with reality and the knowingness that you possess all this love in your life. When you have your heart focused on all the love you already have, it makes your heart and soul magnetic to attracting romantic love.
Go to meet-ups, get online, and be spontaneous. Have a good friend be your accountability partner. If you plan on creating a profile for a dating site/app, make sure you schedule 30 minutes a day to actually be checking these profiles and looking for love. One of the biggest mistakes women make is they go onto these online dating sites/apps and they sit and wait for someone to reach out to them.
The science is now revealing that the women who are most successful with online dating do not wait for men to contact them. It's time to take romantic action into your own hands.

The current malaise has no quick fix, but technology will be coming back, starting around the middle of next year.
In the popular mind, the current slump in technology stocks is all about the Dot.coms. Clearly, this is not so. Take the NASDAQ averages where most of the important tech stocks trade and compare to Microsoft. Two years ago, the NASDAQ and Microsoft tracked together, and had for a year previous. Then the great Dot.Com boom, and bust, and the NASDAQ is back tracking right along with Microsoft again, headed down. With the Dot.coms canceled out, there is evidently a more serious problem.
For two decades the tech stock market was driven by the PC, but the sizzle is gone from the PC market - it's deflating, and it's going to stay that way. The PC market was born of innovation, and grew and prospered by innovation, but that's gone - there hasn't been anything really new for a decade.
There's little reason to buy a new PC, because all you get is the same thing you already have, running the same software that does the same stuff the same way - Windows and Microsoft Office. Since it'll come with newer, fatter, slower versions of Windows and Office, it won't even be any faster. Unless your old PC dies, why bother?
The PC architecture is disfunctional, unstable, hopelessly obsolete, and should have been scrapped more than a decade ago - but it's what runs Windows. Microsoft now has total control of PC design - even Intel is no longer allowed to participate. Windows is tied tightly to the existing PC architecture, so Microsoft will allow no significant improvement. End of story.
Since PCs are in "maintenance mode", there are far more PC manufacturers than the market wants, all making identical products that provide the "Uniform Windows Experience". Further, thousands of "white box" builders make better PCs than the big guys for about the same price.
In the business market, PCs are starting to be displaced by Web based applications and "thin clients" of various descriptions, though plenty of PCs will remain for the forseeable future. Thin clients cost much less to administer and maintain.
Ironically, Microsoft's monopoly has hurt Microsoft's growth plans. Low PC sales have forced them to meet sales numbers by selling investments while they seek to leverage their current monopolies into new ones.
Microsoft's next generation XBox, now in the planning stages, is aimed at taking the consumer hardware market away from the PC makers entirely. Sony has similar plans. I see no significant recovery in this market for a long time to come.
"Services" is the golden fleece sought by every company in the technology business today, including the PC manufacturers - but the lucrative big business market is already occupied by the likes of IBM, Price Waterhouse, Anderson Consulting, EDS and Perot Systems. The PC makers, Hewlett Packard and Compaq in particular, are not making much progress here.
IBM's grip will be particularly hard to break So focused is IBM on services it has suppressed it's own highly superior operating system, OS/2. The disfunctional nature of Windows combined with continuous forced "upgrades" guarantees continuing service revenue at a much higher level than for OS/2.
Now everyone wants to expand into the huge SMB (Small and Medium Business) markets. SMBs, especially the Small part, are nearly impossible for large companies to service - they've tried before and failed before and they'll fail this time. Only small integrators can provide the flexibility and totally customized solutions small business needs.
A bunch of companies thought the rise of Linux would get them on the ground floor of a growing but not yet occupied service area. Results have been disappointing so far. Linux tends to be used for simple, straight forward applications, it has the "OS/2 disease" (once set up it doesn't need service), Linux growth is steady but not earth shattering, and the field was quickly staked out by IBM and Red Hat.
Last year wireless was the "Great White Hope" of the industry, displacing PCs as the dominant focus of the Comdex show. I predicted it was vastly overblown, and that has proven the case. Wireless is great for specific uses, but those tend to be niche applications, not mainstream technology.
Problems: the U.S. has fallen badly behind, allowing Europe to take the lead (and the profits). Wireless is more urgent there (to get around telephone monopolies), and here Microsoft uses it's monopoly power to delay wireless standards, slow deployment and discourage software developers. Windows doesn't fit wireless devices, so wireless competes directly with Microsoft.
Companies manufacturing wireless equipment will prosper and grow, but at nowhere near the rate high growth "investors" (speculators) want to see. There will be a few successful "pure plays", but much wireless development belongs to telephone equipment companies, network equipment companies and other manufacturers with established product lines.
Makers of high end network gear, like Cisco and Nortel, will be down for awhile, but they'll have solid growth again in a couple of years. The problem these companies have is that the Dot.com frenzy caused overbuilding of infrastructure. there is now far too much fiber already in place, and dead Dot.coms have dumped vast amounts of almost brand new equipment on the market. It's going to take some time to absorb all this.
Companies that serve smaller networks are also overpopulated. Most companies already have networks in place now, so the high volume of the buildup period is no longer needed. There will be fatalities.
So Where Will Recovery Come From?
Ironically, it'll come from the Internet. The Dot.com boom was a total scam, but the reason the scammers were able to pull it off is because there really is something there. The Internet is changing the way people communicate and the way we do business. It just isn't going to happen "on Internet time".
Internet growth is now happening the way business change always happens, by careful planning and cautious implementation, testing for profitability all the way. It's being done by real businesses to fill real business needs.
ASP Services will be a major contributor. This field has a definite upper limit, but it's high enough to allow considerable growth - unless Microsoft crushes it, as they intend to do (see below).
The infrastructure companies will be back as soon as the Dot.com slack is absorbed, but with steady business and reasonable profits, not the high flying fantasy they lived in the boom.
Wireless will be a solid player, connecting various mobile devices to the Internet. Wireless service providers will prosper if they can avoid biting off more than they can chew like Ricochet did.
The PC manufacturers will not be coming back as long as Microsoft holds monopoly control, nor will the software industry in general. Software companies of modest size and ambition will thrive, but many of these will be based outside the U.S., as explained above. U.S. companies with products that threaten Microsoft will be bought out and liquidated.
Service providers supporting Open Source software (Linux, etc.) will prosper, but not as pure plays. They will provide support in combination with other products and services. Open Source provides a low cost foundation that can be combined with proprietary products and services offering more for the money than with a Microsoft based system.
The U.S.has lost its technological lead in wireless and is rapidly losing its lead in software. Windows is well beyond "end of life" technology, and the longer the U.S. is dominated by Windows, the more of its lead will have been lost to other countries by time Windows finally falls.
Microsoft's clear and expressed intention is to crush the life out of the Internet the same way they crushed it out of the PC, by establishing monopoly control through their .NET Initiative. There is no innovation under monopoly, just ever increasing profits for the monopolist and ever increasing costs for everyone else.
The motion picture and recording industries (MPAA, RIAA) are another major threat. It is their clear and expressed intent to sponsor repressive legislation to end innovation in the distribution of entertainment. Some (DMCA) has already been passed, and they have already introduced legislation to make it a criminal offense to build or own any device that is capable of copying or distributing copyrighted content, or playing it at all except from original CDs and DVDs.
If this repressive legislation is passed, the U.S. will become a backwater in entertainment technology, once again to preserve monopoly profits. Innovation in the production and distribution of entertainment will be halted completely in the U.S., and heavy restrictions will be placed on PCs, game consoles, Internet devices and anything else that could be used to handle entertainment content.
Monopolies stick together. Microsoft is in ongoing negotiations with the motion picture and recording industry to be the approved provider of equipment and software for distribution and playing of entertainment content under the tight controls the industry wishes to implement. A major reason why Microsoft has seized control of PC design is so they can dictate copy protection schemes and playback controls.
To give you perspective on how you will fare as a consumer, a music (or data) CD-ROM, with label and jewelcase packaging, manufactured in modest quantity, is about $0.55. A top artist gets less than a dollar from each CD, most get very much less. I suspect you are paying significantly more than $1.50 for CDs under the RIAA monopoly.


As I came towards the end of my pregnancy, I started to stock up on a number of baby essentials. I didn't want to go overboard and clutter up the house completely but I focused on getting the key accessories that would prove worthwhile purchases for our new arrival.
My mum recommended a few vital products that you simply can't live without and among that list was a baby bouncer. While this is not something that I used immediately simply because our new arrival was too small, it is now something that I – and she – can't live without.
Baby adores her baby bouncer from BabyBjorn and she spends most of the day relaxing or playing in it. In fact, the baby bouncer is often the only place that she feels happy, should she have a grizzly day.
I am writing this now following her first set of injections and she is feeling rather under-the-weather after receiving the inoculations. Sure enough, the only place she feels content at the moment is either on mum's tummy or in the BabyBjorn Baby Bouncer. While mum's post-baby tummy may be very comfy, I am glad that she has a nice alternative so that I can still carry on with the essential day tasks and know that she is as comfortable as possible, with excellent support.
You can use the BabyBjorn bouncer for newborns if your baby is big enough (from 3.5kgs). They are a really safe place for Baby to rest as they can be strapped in to make sure they stay secure. The bouncer can be used up until the age of two, which means it has a relatively long lifespan and will become a handy seat for a young child.
The BabyBjorn bouncer gives a gentle rocking movement that you can either encourage using your foot, or it will happen naturally when Baby moves. She loves the soothing motion and also finds it really comfortable. I have draped one of her soft blankets over it to make it even more snug. The bouncer keeps her peaceful when she naps during the day but also the movement entertains her when she is awake.
Another great thing about this product is its portability. You can take it with you when you visit a friend's house so that you know Baby will be happy. It can be a worry when you leave home to visit people with a newborn, but if you pack home-comforts I think it really helps create a settling environment.
This is one product that Baby and I cannot live without.

US Navy Chief Says Only 'Regime Change' in Iran Can Stop Country's 'Provocative Actions' in Gulf
© AFP 2019 / Iranian Presidency
https://sputniknews.com/world/201912281077888774-us-navy-chief-says-only-regime-change-in-iran-can-stop-countrys-provocative-actions-in-gulf/
Russian and Chinese warships joined Iran's Navy and Revolutionary Guards vessels on Friday for four days' worth of maritime exercises in the Gulf of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean, simulating search and rescue, anti-piracy and shooting drills.
The US Navy is concerned that the recent lull in hostilities with Iran following this summer's string of escalatory actions in the form of tanker sabotage attacks, ship seizures and drone shootdowns may be repeated, Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly has said.
"I think they're going to continue to perform provocative actions over there," Modly said, speaking to Reuters on Friday. "And I think they'll look at every opportunity they can to do that," he added, without offering any more details.
"There's nothing that suggests to me, short of a regime change there, that you have a different tone set from the leadership, that would suggest to me that they're going to stop doing what they've been doing," Modly explained.
The top Navy official also complained about how the US's 'response' to Iran has forced it to take its eye off more serious adversaries, like China.
"As they start creating mischief over there…our reaction is we send an aircraft carrier over there for 10 months," Modly said. "What does [the Iran deployment] do to our carrier readiness? It degrades readiness the longer it's over there," he complained.

Joint Drills
On Friday, units of the Iranian Navy and Revolutionary Guards were joined by Russian and Chinese warships for maritime security drills which Iranian officials said proved that their country could not be isolated. The drills, set to run until Monday, are the first of their kind for Iran since its 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted Friday that the drills made clear the three countries' "broader commitment to secure vital waterways" amid US efforts to build a regional 'maritime security coalition' known as 'Sentinel'. Tehran proposed a regional maritime coalition in September which excluded outsiders the US and
Tensions between the US and Iran have subsided in recent months, even though verbal back-and-forth threats and warnings have continued. Relations the two countries, which enjoyed a thaw toward the end of the Obama administration thanks to the Iran nuclear deal signed in 2015, worsened dramatically in May 2018 after the Trump administration unilaterally withdrew from the agreement and slapped Iran with several rounds of energy and banking sanctions. In May 2019, Tehran began scaling back its commitment to the nuclear deal, citing its European signatories' apparent inability to secure its interests. The country maintains, however, that it has no intention of pursuing weapons of mass destruction, saying such arms run counter to the country's Islamic faith.

This was followed by a series of sabotage attacks, tanker seizures and the shootdown of a $220 million US drone over the Strait of Hormuz in June, with tensions between the two countries escalating to the brink of war.

Van Ness Feldman Assists with Victory for the Alaska Native Community
Matt Love, Partner and Tyson Kade, Of Counsel, in the firm's Land, Water and Natural Resources practice, represented a group of Alaska Native corporations, municipalities, and a regional tribal government who successfully challenged the listing of the Arctic Ringed Seal as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act in U.S. District Court.
On Friday, March 11, 2016, U.S. District Judge, Ralph R. Beistline, ruled that the National Marine Fisheries Services acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner by listing the Arctic ringed seal as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act citing a lack of scientific evidence that the seal population faced the threat of extinction before the year 2090. The victory is significant to the Alaska Native community who depend on ringed seals for subsistence purposes.

Rusty Lee Hill
Rusty Lee Hill, 65, of Chelsea, Oklahoma, formerly of Wamego, Kansas, died Tuesday, December 8, 2020. Rusty was born July 18, 1955, in Hastings, Nebraska, to parents James Leroy Hill and Beverly Anne Laflin. He graduated from Wamego High School in 1973. He worked at Steel and Pipe from the time he was 18 until he retired in 2013 (43 years) as the Assistant Manager. Rusty was married to Dalene Domeny Hill on June 2, 1973. He was a devoted husband and family man. The couple loved watching March Madness together and trying to fill out the perfect bracket. Few people know that the love story between Russ and Dalene actually began in the early 60s when they were both very young. After Dalene apparently had a spat with her parents over a piece of candy, she decided to run away from home. It just so happened that Russ' dad Jim, who was the Wamego Police Chief at the time, found Dalene walking alone and took her home while he tried to locate her parents. As Russ and Dalene sat around the kitchen table enjoying some fried chicken, Dalene must have forgotten all about the candy and the first spark was ignited. Years later the love story continued for the smitten teenagers and the two high school sweethearts married shortly after graduation. And so, the love affair that started over a piece of fried chicken and lasted for 37 years on Earth will now last for eternity in Heaven as they are finally in each other's loving arms again. He was eternally optimistic and never had a bad day! He loved to laugh and tell stories and enjoyed a good party and playing softball. He was a patriot through and through and loved the Chiefs, KSU Wildcats, the Cubs and John Wayne. He was excited to hear that he was going to be a great grandfather. Rusty was preceded in death by his wife, Dalene Hill, Father Jim Hill and brother Rod Hill. He is survived by his daughter Janelle and husband Ben Woodward of Wamego, KS; grandchildren Brittney and Joe Reese, Aviano Italy, Brooke Woodward and Breck Woodward; Mother Bev Hill of Bullhead City, AZ; siblings Randy and Marlynda Hill of Lenexa, KS, Robert and Mary Lough of Wamego, KS, Rhonda and Pat Hopkins of Bullhead City, AZ, Dane and Gayle Hill of Florida, James and Amy Hill of California; friend Jan Guthrie and family of Chelsea, OK and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Due to Covid safety and love for others, a celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Če je f surjektivna preslikava, rečemo tudi, da f preslika množico A na množico B.

Množica B je lahko načeloma poljubna množica, vendar najpogosteje privzamemo, da je f realna funkcija in da je torej B množica realnih števil. Realna funkcija f je surjektivna, če je zaloga vrednosti enaka množici realnih števil: .

Zgledi:
 Realna funkcija f(x) = x3 je surjekcija, saj rezultati kubiranja pokrijejo celotno množico realnih števil.
 Realna funkcija f(x) = x2 ni surjekcija, saj nobeno negativno število ni rezultat kvadriranja.
 Realna funkcija f(x) = 2x ni surjekcija, saj nobeno negativno število ni rezultat te funkcije.

8 Mar 2019 Initiative of the Canton of Zurich
A Boost to Digitalization
A pioneering project: The DIZH digitalization initiative of the Canton of Zurich's institutions of higher education will strengthen the University of Zurich and its partners. Around three dozen new professorships are to be created at UZH, 20 of them assistant professorships.
Stefan Stöcklin
DIZH
"The DIZH brings a lot of added value to the university and to Zurich as a center for research," says UZH President Michael Hengartner.
The DIZH digitalization initiative, a collaborative effort by Zurich's institutions of higher education, is set to receive CHF 108 million in special cantonal funding for the period from 2020 through 2029. UZH will contribute CHF 99 million of its own resources to the total DIZH initiative fund of CHF 300 million and will provide matching funds for projects originating from the DIZH Innovation Program.
If the parliament of the Canton of Zurich approves the additional funding, UZH will be able to significantly expand its cooperation with the canton's other universities. Plans under the initiative include the creation of three to four DIZH joint professorships plus new professorships for UZH's Digital Society Initiative (DSI), development of a doctoral program, and the provision of funding for infrastructure and laboratory space. The digitalization initiative also includes an innovation program and the development of new study programs. "The DIZH brings a lot of added value to the university and to Zurich as a center for research," says UZH President Michael Hengartner.
Merging strengths
The university is entering uncharted territory with the digitalization initiative being pursued by the Canton of Zurich's institutions of higher education. "The DIZH is a pioneering endeavor," Michael Hengartner states. "We can mutually benefit from our respective strengths to develop innovations together." The collaboration with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and the Zurich University of Teacher Education (PHZH) gives fresh impetus to Canton Zurich as a center for higher education.
The DIZH is getting an additional boost from the activities unfolding under the University of Zurich's Digital Society Initiative (DSI). Alongside the 18 professorships that UZH will be creating in the context of the DSI, the special funding from the canton will enable UZH to set up roughly another 18 professorships (10 of them assistant professorships) in the area of digitalization. "This puts us in an excellent position to address the challenges of digitalization," Hengartner says with pleasure. The DIZH will enable the establishment of more than 40 new professorships in total at Zurich's universities.
Academic dual citizens
The new joint professorships are one core element of the DIZH. Three to four inter-university professorial chairs with an interdisciplinary focus are being planned and will be headquartered at UZH. "We will appoint people who are conversantly familiar with the cultures of both UZH and the respective partner university – academic dual citizens, so to speak," Hengartner explains.
In the planning are a joint professorship in education and digitality in collaboration with the Zurich University of Teacher Education (PHZH), a professorship in virtuality in collaboration with the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), and a professorship in SME data management and/or digital health in collaboration with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW). The research topics haven't been definitively set yet, but will get fleshed out during the course of this year.
In addition, it will also be possible to create around eight postdoctoral research positions. They will ensure longer-term cooperation between Zurich's universities and will support the joint professorships in their respective fields. The coordination office for the DIZH will initially be domiciled at UZH.
Increasing porosity
To support the DSI, it is planned that resources will be allocated to convert five current assistant professorships into permanent professorships over the longer term and to recruit an additional team of DSI assistant professors. A doctoral school will be set up for junior researchers. "The DIZH excellently supplements the DSI activities," says Abraham Bernstein, an informatics professor who is one of the four directors of the DSI.
Digitalization affects all areas of society, so he says it makes sense to make research and teaching more porous between the different universities. He sees that as a way to more efficiently harness the synergies between the strengths of the respective institutions. More than 300 researchers are already involved today in the DSI network.
One important pillar of the DIZH concerns innovation – the development of new digital technologies for practical applications. A total of CHF 80 million has been envisaged to fund university collaboration with the private and public sectors. CHF 40 million of that will be financed through special cantonal funding, and the recipients of that money will bear the other half themselves through their own resources or through acquired third-party funding. The innovation program's financial resources will be allocated through competitions.
The partnerships under the program are aimed at commercializing new technologies and research findings. Hengartner stresses that digitalization is opening a lot of interesting business opportunities worth exploiting. "Innovative spin-offs from the universities can greatly benefit society," he says.
Benefits to society
Besides research and innovation, the third pillar of the DIZH is promoting education. The special cantonal funding is to be used by UZH to train technical staff and to develop a cross-faculty "Studium Digitale" (basic digital literacy) study program aimed at all students, which is currently in the planning stage.

Lionesses, Emma Raducanu and the Premier League: who and what to watch in 2023 | UK News
How lucky are the Lionesses to dominate the sports journals this time next year, like they were last week?
Every chance.
Transformational coach Sarina Wiegman has persuaded the FA to fly their Euro business class winners to the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand – and they have the ability, and more importantly the mentality, to do so. the case again – even if the United States, above all, will strengthen the opposition.

Euro backheel heroine Alessia Russo could be part of another double – at club level. The men and women of Manchester United have that quality of delivering on the day that can win an FA Cup.
Pardon a boring notion, but Manchester City's men and Chelsea's women remain the most likely league champions, despite mounting challenges.
In the Scottish Premiership, Celtic's nine-point league is too big for new Rangers manager Michael Beale to bridge.
And in Europe? Will the Erling Haaland goal machine deliver a long-awaited Champions League debut for Manchester City. With a problem or two for most of their strongest rivals, now is surely the time for boss Pep Guardiola.
At the first major global event of the year, Novak Djokovic is rightfully the heavy favorite to win the Australian Open in tennis and equal Rafael Nadal's record 22 Grand Slam wins.
UK fans have reason to hope that Emma Raducanu will begin a strong climb from 80th in the world rankings, if she is successful under new trainer Sebastian Sachs and – most importantly – fitness guru Jez Green.

The Six Nations kick off the international year of rugby union – the men of France and the women of England win – but the men's autumn World Cup will dominate.
New coaches for Wales and England add to the fascination, but if Ireland ever have to win, this is the year.
England male and female cricketers in the 50+ and 20+ versions are also vying for World Cup glory. The men can keep the trophy they won in spectacular fashion in 2019; women may find Australia too strong.

In F1, as always, it's all about the cars and the rules, but British Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and rising star George Russell could find world champion Max Verstappen still too much to crack, although they should get closer than ever. 'in 2022.
And two individuals to finish with – 6-foot-9 Tyson Fury and 5-foot-9 Rory McIlroy.
Ukrainian heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk will be a tougher test than anyone with Fury in 2022, but the 'Gypsy King' punches as hard as he talks and should prevail again.

Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
(director: Kevin Spacey; screenwriters: Paul Attanasio/Lorenzo Carcaterra; cinematographer: Eduardo Serra; editor: Trevor Waite; music: Christopher Slaski; cast: Kevin Spacey (Bobby Darin), Kate Bosworth (Sandra Dee), John Goodman (Steve Blauner), Bob Hoskins (Charlie Maffia), Greta Scacchi (Mary), Brenda Blethyn (Polly), Caroline Aaron (Nina Cassotto Maffia), William Ullrich (Babby Darrin as a child), Matt Rippy (David Gershenson), Peter Cincotti (Dick Behrke); Runtime: 121; MPAA Rating: PG-13; producers: Andy Paterson/Jan Fantl/Arthur E.

"Mack the Knife singer's story never catches fire."
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
A conventional biopic about Bronx-born singer/actor Bobby Darin, and his meteoric climb to success and his compelling need to become a showbiz legend. The film veers back and forth between his childhood and adult life–as a plot device is used having Darin as a precocious child (William Ullrich) look back at his life with Darin as an adult and engage him in conversations. Kevin Spacey is director and miscast star, as he's too old (at 45) for the part. Despite some good musical moments (especially that fantasy number of singing the pic's title song, taken from one of Darin's biggest hits), the "Mack the Knife" singer's story never catches fire. Spacey admirably does his own singing, doing a fair job getting close to Darin's voice.
Born in 1936 as Bobby Cassotto, his name was later changed for showbiz reasons. Darin never knew his father; he was raised by his musical loving mother Polly, his much older sister Nina (Caroline Aaron) and her garbageman husband Charlie Maffia (Bob Hoskins). Bobby caught mom's passion for music at an early age. Later in life, after his beloved mom died, he will find out that his sister Nina (Caroline Aaron) is really his mother.
At seven, Bobby learns he has a weak heart due to rheumatic fever and the doctors tell him he'll never live past 15. Bobby defies them and lives until he's 37. Bobby after attending Science High School and Hunter college tries desperately to break into showbiz, hiring the following: novice manager Steve Blauner (John Goodman), loyal brother-in-law Charlie as valet, as music director Dick Behrke (Peter Cincotti) and the inexperienced David Gershenson as his publicist. Pressed by his record company to come up with a hit record, he writes in a few minutes Splish Splash and appears on American Bandstand becoming an instant teen idol. Restless to be more than a teen idol, he records Mack the Knife in 1960 and wins a Grammy Award. Trying his hand at acting, he ventures to Italy to appear with Rock Hudson and Sandra Dee (Kate Bosworth) in the frothy comedy Come September. Bobby falls madly in love with the cutesy airhead Dee and marries her despite the objections of her overbearing stage mother Mary (Greta Scacchi). In 1964, he gets nominated for a supporting Best Actor Award for his role as a shell-shocked soldier in Captain Newman, MD.
The ambitious Darin reinvents himself as a Las Vegas nightclub vocalist in imitation of Frank Sinatra. With the protests about the Viet Nam War and the Civil Rights movement growing, Darin soon changes his image again and tries singing as a protest rock singer á la Bob Dylan. This fails to attract new fans and turns off his regular fan base, leaving him without a hit record for a long time. Also, his marriage falls apart in a divorce, as the so-called 'perfect couple' grows apart physically and mentally.
Though energetic and getting the details right, the film disappoints as it never gets past all its weaknesses. The main obstacle is that Spacey is not up to being Darin despite his enthusiasm for the role, and then there's the awkward love affair Spacey has with himself playing Darin–which left me thinking if Spacey will ever get off his current losing streak in films and make another winner.

Choose the fruit juice you want to have at the top of the icy pole and fill one third of the icy pole mould.
Put into the freezer until juice has frozen.
Repeat the process, but this time fill the icy pole mould to two thirds with your second fruit juice, place an icy pole stick in and freeze.
Add the final layer of fruit juice and freeze.
You can make the icy poles with 3 to 5 alternating layers of fruit juice, or using all different fruits.
As a general guide, to make four icy poles, try the following: blend 3 kiwi fruits with 1 small banana, 1 large orange juiced, and blend 1½ cups of mixed berries to make 3 alternating layers.
Once frozen, you can remove the icy poles from the moulds, wrap in cling wrap and store in a large container until needed.
Remember, juicing your own fruit or choosing 100% fruit juice is best – commercial juices often contain added sugars.
To increase dairy intake, alternate fruit layers with reduced fat yoghurt or mix yoghurt with banana.

Coastal problems that stem from human activities are almost always rooted in resource use conflicts. Since the majority of the world's population lives in coastal areas, such conflicts can only be expected to increase. As population growth continues, the pressure to develop coastal areas for housing, industry, tourism, aquaculture, fisheries, and other uses, will intensify these conflicts, Furthermore, these developments take place in a dynamic natural coastal environment where the hazardous conditions caused by climate variability and climate change will impose additional stresses. The main objective of any government policy is, basically, to encourage changes in human behaviour in order to achieve desired goals. In this process, the main purpose of management is to provide the conditions that will facilitate development and stimulate progress. In general, the goals are specified targets related to the desired mix of goods, services and values to be produced, consumed, or conserved, ICZM is such a management process, which can anticipate and respond to the needs of the coastal society. Public participation in the planning and implementation of ICZM is there-fore essential. The management procedure generally comprises a set of related tasks, all of which must be carried out to achieve a desired set of objectives. The basis steps involved in the management cycle are: problem recognition, analysis and planning, implementation of measures, operation and maintenance, and monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of the measures in relation to the stated objectives. The way in which this process is executed will depend to a large extend on cultural, political, economic and historical conditions, and its success will therefore depend on the degree of public endorsement achieved.
