in the atmosphere and weeks in the ocean. Among these are diurnal and semidiurnal oscillations arising from diurnal changes of insolation and the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun.
4. Global variations, with periods ranging from weeks to months. Two-week variations of the circulation index (the mean angular velocity of the atmospheric rotation in temperate latitudes with respect to the Earth's surface) and 30- or 60-day oscillations in the Indian and Pacific sectors of the tropical atmosphere may serve as examples.
5. Seasonal variations, with annual periods, and their harmonics (including monsoon phenomena).
6. Interannual variations, with periods of several years. Among these are the quasi-two-year global variations of meteorological elements, particularly in the equatorial stratosphere (according to Obukhov they occur as the result of parametric resonance, that is, resonance amplification of annual oscillations with slowly changing atmospheric parameters over time and with rare changes in phase of oscillations by 180 degrees), quasi-two-year phenomena ENSO (El-Nino - Southern Oscillation), 3.5-year auto-oscillations of the northern branches of the Gulf Stream, and so on.
7. Intra-centennial variations, with periods of tens of years; rising temperature during the first half of the current century provides a typical example.
8. Inter-centennial variations, with periods of several centuries or tens of ages. They manifested themselves in rising temperatures after the end of the glacial period, (centuries 90-60 BC), the setting-in of the so-called 'climatic optimum' in centuries 40-20 BC, a subsequent fall in temperature (tenth century BC to third century AD), a further rise in temperature during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and, finally, a fall in temperature during the so-called 'small glacial period' (seventeenth to nineteenth centuries).
9. Long-period oscillations, with periods of tens of thousands of years (glacial and interglacial epochs of the Pleistocene), related to changes in the parameters of the Earth's orbit and inclination of the Earth's axis. Among oscillations of this kind, which are of astronomical origin, an oscillation with a period of 100 thousand years is the largest. Then, as the amplitude decreases there are oscillations with periods of 22 and 41 thousand years. The first of the above three periods is close to the Earth's orbit eccentricity change; the second period coincides with the period of precession; and the third period coincides with the period of inclination of the Earth's axis.
10. Geological changes, with periods of tens and hundreds of millions of years created by orogenesis and tectonics, and by the drift of continents.
All these manifestations of the temporal variability of the climatic system are represented in the idealized spectrum of the surface air temperature shown in Figure 1.1. Depending on the mechanisms of their excitation, variations in temperature, and in any other climatic characteristics, can be divided
Figure 1.1 Idealized spectrum of the surface air temperature, according to Mitchell (1976).
into forced and free ones. Oscillations generated by external forcing (say, insolation changes) are termed forced oscillations; oscillations taking place independently of external mechanical or thermal forcing and determined by the internal instability of the climatic system with regard to small disturbances (for example, auto-oscillations in the ocean-atmosphere system) are termed free oscillations.
The basis of this classification can be reduced to the following, according to Lorenz (1970). In any real hydrodynamic system there is always viscous dissipation if the system does not move as a solid body, and thermal dissipation (average rate of degeneration of temperature non-homogeneities) if the system is not isothermal. Hence, in free oscillations the only mechanism which can balance the dissipation effects is energy transfer over the spectrum; in forced oscillations the dissipation effects can be compensated for at the expense of both cascade energy transfer and the work performed by generating forces. In the second case, the mode having the same length scale as the generating force is excited first of all. Then, because of instability, this mode transfers its energy to higher-wave modes. As soon as the energies of these modes approach a critical level the still higher-wave modes are excited. At the same time the high-wave modes have a reverse action on the low-wave-generating modes, resulting in amplification, or stabilization, and even destruction, of the low-wave-generating modes.
From the above it is clear that external forcing is only one of the possible variability mechanisms; the other is the internal stochastic mechanism determined by the existence of feedbacks between different internal parameters of the climatic system. Feedbacks can either amplify variations of interacting parameters or attenuate them. In the first case they are called positive feedbacks, and in the second case they are called negative feedbacks. There are many familiar examples of feedbacks. Let us discuss some of them.
The positive feedback between the greenhouse effect of water vapour and the atmospheric temperature. The amount of water vapour in the air (absolute humidity) is a non-linear function of air temperature, and this in its turn determines the atmospheric transparency to long-wave radiation. Thus, a rise in temperature at constant relative humidity (the assumption about the constancy of relative humidity is justified over a wide range of temperature changes) leads to an increase in the absorption of long-wave radiation in the atmosphere (the greenhouse effect), and thereby contributes to a further rise in temperature in the low atmosphere. In other words, the greenhouse effect of water vapour has a destabilizing effect on the climatic system.
The positive feedback between the albedo of snow and ice cover and the atmospheric temperature. It is common knowledge that ice and snow have higher reflective capacity (albedo) than water or soil. Therefore, an increase in the area of snow and ice cover, or in their lifetimes, has to be accompanied by an increase in the planetary albedo, and this is accompanied by a decrease in the solar radiation assimilated by the climatic system, and a subsequent increase in the snow and ice cover area.
The positive feedback between the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide and the surface air temperature. An increase in C02 in the atmosphere arising from the burning of fossil fuel leads to a rise in temperature as a result of the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide. In its turn the rise in surface air temperature accompanying an increase in the downward flux of long-wave radiation, and a decrease in sensible and latent heat fluxes (temperature contrast of water-air decreases) contributes to the warming of the ocean surface. This enhances the vertical stability of the upper ocean layers, decreases the absorption of carbon dioxide and eventually favours an increase in C02 in the atmosphere.
The negative feedback between the equator-to-pole temperature difference and the meridional heat transport. An increase in the equator-to-pole temperature difference results in enhancement of the meridional heat transport, which leads to a rise in ocean and atmospheric temperatures in high latitudes and, hence, to a decrease in the equator-to-pole temperature difference.
The negative feedback between soil humidity and albedo of land surface. A rise in soil humidity results in a decrease in land surface albedo which, in its turn, leads to an increase in absorption of short-wave solar radiation, a rise in temperature of the underlying surface, an increase in evaporation and, as a result, a decrease in soil moisture.
The negative feedback between air temperature and cloudiness. Radiation properties of clouds are defined by the albedo, height and temperature of their upper and lower boundaries, the amount of cloud and optical thickness. These factors generate simultaneous changes in short-wave and long-wave radiation so that the resulting effect of cloudiness can lead to both a rise and a fall in the temperature of the underlying surface and surface atmospheric layer, that is, it can manifest itself as positive and negative feedbacks. The positive feedback is created by an increase in the greenhouse effect with a preceding increase in the downward long-wave radiation flux, a rise in the underlying surface temperature, an intensificiation of evaporation, an increase in the water vapour content in the atmosphere and cloudiness; the negative feedback is generated by an increase in planetary albedo and a reversal of the short-wave solar radiation assimilated by the climatic system. Increasing amounts of lower-level cloud and decreasing amounts of upper-level cloud contribute to the appearance of negative feedback.
We have discussed two mechanisms of variability of the climatic system: its inherent internal stochasticity and external forcing. The third mechanism comprises the different forms of resonance between internal modes of the climatic system and external forcings of cyclic character. The oscillations of paleoclimatic indicators, with periods of ~ 100 000 years coinciding with periods of oscillation of the Earth's orbital eccentricity serve as a good example. There are several known explanations for this feature in the spectrum of paleoclimatic indicators, including resonance amplification of forced oscillations that relate to the internal variability of the climatic system.
Following Lorenz (1970, 1979) we assume that the internal stochastic mechanism makes an essential contribution to the variability of the climatic system for all time scales and that this mechanism consists of individual stochastic processes, every one of which has its own time scale and introduces its own contribution (white noise) to the variability, characterized by all time scales exceeding the given one. This defines the existence of the 'background' variability (shaded area in Figure 1.1) and the increase in its intensity with increasing time scale of oscillations. The most important factors controlling the 'background' variability on time scales of the order of one hour and less are small-scale turbulence and convection, and on time scales of the order of one day - inertial waves. On time scales of the order of one month the background variability is determined by the thermal relaxation of the atmosphere. On time scales of the order of one to ten years it is governed by thermal relaxation of the upper mixed layer of the ocean, and on time scales of the order of ÍO'-IO3 years it is dictated by processes in the deep ocean. Finally, in the range of timescales from 103 to 10s years an interaction between the continental ice sheets, deep ocean layer and the atmosphere manifests itself.
External forcing results in the generation of narrow band variability. Hence in the presence of external forcing, and the absence of the 'background' variability the spectrum of climatic variability would resemble the superposition of variations featuring various external factors. Such variations have a high degree of ordering and, therefore, a high degree of predictability. In contrast, the 'background' variability is characterized by a low degree of ordering and predictability.

Apple's iPhone and iPad constantly track users' physical location and store the data in unencrypted files that can be read by anyone with physical access to the device, computer researchers said.
The file, which is stored on both the iOS device and any computers that store backups of its data, can be used to reconstruct a detailed snapshot of the user's comings and goings, down to the second, the researchers, Pete Warden and Alasdair Allen, blogged. The revelation, which Apple has never acknowledged, means iPhones and iPads put their users at considerable risk from snoops.
Apple representatives didn't respond to emails and phones calls from The Register seeking comment.
The researchers were quick to point out that there is no evidence Apple or anyone else has accessed the information. They didn't offer any guidance on how to turn off the movement tracker, but suggested users encrypt backups when syncing devices with iTunes to prevent the data from being read by people who have access to the underlying computer.
But that advice would do nothing to deter those who steal or otherwise obtain an iPhone or iPad.
The data is stored in the /Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backups/ folder of computers that sync to the iDevice. While most of the folders and files inside contain pseudo-random names, it's possible to unscramble them by examining files called Manifest.mbdb and Manifest.mbdx. With a few more steps, users will extract a database in the SQLite format that's easily read with multiple applications.
The researchers said that locations are tracked by triangulating near-by cellphone towers. That suggests that the movements are tracked even when an iDevice's GPS features are turned off.
Charlie Miller, a security researcher who has repeatedly breached the security of the iPhone, told The Register he has replicated the research and it appears the findings are correct.
The researchers have released open-source software that makes the entire process a snap. It also plots the information to a map that shows the movements of the user. While the locations are stored down to the second, the researchers said, their software intentionally reduces the time to weekly increments to make the data less useful to snoops.
The researchers said they also diminished the location granularity, but they pointed out that prosecutors, private investigators and others who reproduce their work are under no such constraints.
The researchers said they stumbled on the database while working on several location data visualization projects.
Forensics investigator Christoper Vance alluded to the iDevice location tracking as long ago as September in his Cellular.Sherlock blog. "This fun little database is stuffed FULL of GPS data ripe for the picking," he warned of the SQLite file, which is titled consolidated.db. In an update, he said that in addition to a CellLocation table, the database contains a WifiLocation table.
This article was updated to add comments from Charlie Miller.

The final Steering & Learning Group Meeting for the KYTS Programme was held in Lusaka on 6-Sep-18. The meeting was chaired by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health, Dr Kennedy Malama.
At this meeting Dr Malama confirmed that the Ministry of Health, through their Formulary Committee, had added co-packaged ORS and Zinc to the Zambia Essential Medicines List (EML). This is a very progressive move. To our knowledge only four other countries have done this – Ghana, Kenya, Senegal and Vietnam – and co-packaged ORS and zinc is not yet on the WHO Model Essential Medicines List (although we are working on this). Under normal circumstances the Ministry of Health can only use their budget to purchase items on the Zambia EML. In Aug-18, after a tender process reported here, the Ministry of Health placed an order for 250,000 kits with the local manufacturer of the commercial Kit Yamoyo.
ColaLife has been advocating for this listing since 2016 and in Jun-17 submitted a formal application to Zambia's Formulary Committee. Although this application was not rejected it did not progress at the time. However, it was given added impetus as we presented more evidence as it emerged from the KYTS Programme (KYTS-ACE and KYTS-LUSAKA projects).
Perhaps one of the strongest pieces of evidence came from a survey of dispensing activities in rural clinics in Mongu District. Following a previous survey of ORS and zinc stocking levels in 29 clinics, we revisited all clinics (n=8) which had of all the diarrhoea treatment options available to them in both Oct-16 and Oct-17 to see what treatments were actually dispensed. The month of October was chosen as is generally considered to be the peak of the 'diarrhoea season'.
In Oct-16, when ORS and Zinc were both in stock 44% of cases received both ORS and Zinc. This went up to 87% when co-packaged ORS and Zinc was available. 87%* of the combination treatments were delivered through co-packaged ORS and Zinc.
Our work to get co-packaged ORS and Zinc of the WHO Model Essential Medicines List continues and we are on target to deliver our application to WHO in Nov-18. Watch this space.
* It is a coincidence that the percentage receiving ORS and Zinc (87%) and the percentage that received this through the co-pack (87%) are the same.

TDC councillors were warned. Warned by officers at the council. Warned by Sajid Javid, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government. Warned by us. Warnings galore.
Warned about what? Warned that failure to produce an evidence-based Local Plan would result in intervention in our local planning affairs. We elect local representatives to do exactly that, represent us and make local decisions in the best interests of local people. What that doesn't mean is populism. What that doesn't mean is decision-making by gut instinct or emotion. What that doesn't mean is politicking in one's own interest or narrow party political interest. It means looking coolly and calmly at the evidence before you and acting accordingly. TDC councillors rejected that approach, against the advice of officers, and were warned that their responsibilities, as given to them by the electors of Thanet, could be taken from them meaning that decisions about our local communities could be taken by outsiders at either regional or national level. Cheers for that.
Despite assurances from a Conservative councillor that Sajid Javid had been in conversation with Roger Gale and Craig Mackinlay and that Javid had offered assurances about extra time being given to TDC to deliver a local plan, we now see Javid doing exactly what he threatened to do to all councils failing to deliver a local plan. The urgent need for local plans to deliver the housing desperately needed to help solve the national housing crisis is driving this and Javid is clearly in no mood to pander to councils' nimbyism.
He goes on to say " The District Council's argument to justify this failure sets out two inter-related circumstances – the local debate over the future of Manston Airport and the need to undertake further work to identify alternative sites after the Plan failed to proceed. I consider that these are not exceptional circumstances….".
NOT exceptional circumstances. Much as the airport supporters want to claim that Manston is of unique, national significance, in the real world, it's simply not the case.
We wait to see what intervention looks likeliest from the proposals in the letter and can only hope that this prompts more sensible, evidence-based thinking, such as KCC has previously shown in relation to Manston, than seems possible within the TDC chambers.
Meanwhile, local people aren't happy. And rightly so. They've been fed fake story after fake story.

Ross Blomgren is the vice president of engineering at Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corporation and has been immersed in the jukebox industry for as long as he can remember. When current owner Glenn Streeter purchased Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corporation in 1992, Blomgren went to work for the company he had long viewed as an industry icon and has devoted his expert attention to Rock-Ola jukeboxes ever since, harboring a personal and professional affection for the unparalleled quality of Rock-Ola products.
As a small child in his hometown of Chicago, he saw his very first jukebox with his grandfather at a local diner. He paid to hear Sheb Wooley's 1958 hit "The Purple People Eater" on the diner's chrome wallbox and it was instant love for young Blomgren from the first push of a button. Blomgren later made his first successful attempt to fix a jukebox—a 1950s Seaberg Model B, to be exact—while working for an electronics parts house as a teenager, heightening his aspirations for pursuing a professional life in the jukebox industry.
In 1975, Blomgren worked at Underwriters Laboratories as a lab assistant, testing appliances and components. As a sideline business, he also restored and repaired jukeboxes out of his garage, a labor of love that grew in profitability until he was earning more income from his work restoring vintage jukeboxes than at his day job. With that, Blomgren was inspired to leave Underwriters Laboratories after only a year to open his own company. He spent the next five years professionally repairing and restoring antique jukeboxes and in 1980 he incorporated his business, RJB Restorations, Ltd.
Blomgren owned and operated his successful Chicago store for twenty years, growing the business to occupy a 17,000 square foot space with two show rooms. At this stage of his career, Blomgren was not only working on jukeboxes but also rebuilding vintage jukeboxes with modern equipment, as well as manufacturing parts for various types of antique and replica equipment. He even built replica 1950s furniture. Eventually, Ross Blomgren became a dealer for Rock-Ola jukeboxes and developed an appreciation for the high-end quality and craftsmanship that he sees as the cornerstone of the Rock-Ola brand.
When Blomgren went to work for Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corporation in 1992, he continued to also operate his store for the first 10 years, with the support of his wife Terri Blomgren, who ran RJB after he joined Rock-Ola. But when Rock-Ola shut down its Chicago plant in 2000, he sold his business and moved to Southern California to accept the full-time position he now holds.
Over the course of his involvement in the industry, Blomgren acquired jukeboxes for his private enjoyment as space in his home permitted. His collection now boasts 16 jukeboxes of various models and vintages, the jewel of his collection being a 1937 Studio made by Mills Novelty Company. Blomgren's collection is a physical reflection of him as not only his highly specialized knowledge of the history of jukeboxes, but also as a lifelong jukebox enthusiast.

Latvian Baptists
Brother who inspired radical Latvian writer died in Minneapolis
Among the luminaries to emerge in Latvia during the early 20th century revolutionary period was Ernests Eferts-Klusais (1889-1927), a writer and teacher regarded as a talented and dedicated Marxist. However, this story is not about him, but about an older brother, Jānis, who became one of the first Latvian immigrants to die in Minnesota.
Evidence dispels story that Latvian among first to die in Civil War
One of the legends about the early Latvian presence in the United States is that among the first to die in the American Civil War was a man named Mārtiņš Buciņš. Perhaps he fought for the Union Army, or maybe he served with the Confederate Army, or possibly he was a civilian who had become a casualty of the conflict. But he was Latvian and that's what mattered.
Two small Latvian periodicals remain mostly a mystery
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to collect details, and in some cases even samples, of most of the various periodicals published by early 20th century Latvian immigrants and their descendants in the United States. But two publications, both produced in Chicago before World War I, remain largely a mystery.
Latvian émigré's tale of torture heard around the world
The brutality of the 1905 Revolution and the subsequent punitive expeditions in the Baltic provinces of the Russian Empire saw frequent coverage in European and American newspapers, even after the worst of the repressions were over.
Immigrant catalogued Latvian books, proposed new orthography
A little-known writer who immigrated to the United States more than a century ago helped build a collection of Latvian books in the Chicago Public Library, but failed in his efforts to bring bibliographic and orthographic reform to his homeland.
Enlightenment among goals of early Latvian society in California
On the first Saturday of November 1897, a group of Latvians gathered in an apartment on Natoma Street in downtown San Francisco. Their goal was to elect five members to the board of the newly formed Lettonian Society "Latonia" of San Francisco — the first Latvian organization on the west coast of the United States.
Latvian schooner becomes focus of 'strange shipwreck yarn'
"If any one wants an experienced skipper for sailing craft and a crew of seven able bodied seamen to sail any old sea on the face of the map they can get such a company right now at this port, for Capt. T. Krastin and his crew are without ship or employment." So began a January 19, 1906, story in The Sun, a daily newspaper in New York City. It told of the "strange shipwreck yarn" of the captain and crew of the Kauss, a three-masted wooden schooner typical of the kind built during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Baltic Sea region.
A failed 'leap to liberty' just part of Latvian's criminal career
The image shows a dapper man with a mustache, a cigarette in his left hand, posing in a photographer's studio. Although the monochrome photograph does not reveal it, he was short — just 5 feet, 4 inches (about 162 cm) — with brown hair and blue eyes. His name, if we are to believe what was published in newspapers following his two daring attempts to escape American authorities, was Max Selling and he was a Latvian anarchist.
Address book from 1898 helps map Latvians in North America
In October 1897, an immigrant in Cleveland published the first edition of an address book for Latvians living in the United States and Canada. A second edition appeared in early 1898.
What to do when Google Maps only goes so far
The work that I and three other George Mason University students have been doing as virtual interns with the Smithsonian Institute this semester, at its heart, is a matter of pinning down the locations of cultural repositories in the Caribbean Sea.
Latvian Baptists in America, 1890-1940: A 1916 photograph of a youth group leads to exploration of an immigrant religious community.
Address book from 1898 helps map Latvians in North America: Listings from the directory, which was published in Cleveland, are digitized and displayed on a map of North America.

Liverpool News: Reds backed to beat Chelsea, Tottenham and Man City to title with one star | Football | sport
Liverpool were backed to claim the Premier League title because of Diogo Jota after his record-breaking exploits in the win over Leicester on Sunday night. The Reds won 3-0 at Anfield and Jota made it 2-0 shortly before halftime.
The Portuguese striker headed for center left-back Andy Robertson just before half-time.The 23-year-old's goal was his eighth in 12 games for Liverpool since a £ 45million change from Wolves this summer.
He is the first Liverpool player to score in his first four top-level home games after scoring against the Foxes.
And BBC Sport expert Garth Crooks is so impressed with Jota's early impact on the Premier League champions that he believes he could help the Reds secure back-to-back crowns.
The Merseyside club are set to face competition from Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea as they seek to win the club's 20th league after ending their 30-year title wait last season.
DON'T MISS: Naby Keita's injury means Jurgen Klopp surprised unstoppable new
"The impact Jota has had on Liverpool since moving to Merseyside has been quite extraordinary," Crooks wrote in his Team of the Week column, in which he named Jota.
"It normally takes up to three months for a player to settle into a new team, especially if it comes after the start of the season.
"Kevin Keegan and Kenny Dalglish had similar impacts when they arrived at Anfield in the 1970s, but there aren't many like that.
"Portuguese striker Jota not only came into play, he set records. Four goals in four straight games at Anfield give you an idea of his influence.
"Leicester, who have been named as one of the teams that could compete with Liverpool for the title, looked ordinary at best and even out of their depth on some occasions.
"The main reason was due to their inability to handle Jota, who looked electric. Jota's arrival at Anfield may well be the reason they retain the title. "
Discussing his Liverpool debut, Jota told BBC Match of the Day: "Playing for this team, the world champions, means a lot, I just wish we could keep winning matches and I can be important too, good sure.
PREMIER LEAGUE ON TV: Get NOW TV's Sky Sports Season Pass Now & Save 25 percent
Jota has scored six times in his last six appearances for the Reds after notching a hat-trick against Atalanta in the Champions League earlier this month.
His league goals took Liverpool to second place behind Jose Mourinho's Spurs, only behind the North London club on goal difference.
The two teams will face off in mid-December, but Liverpool's next game will be Italian striker Atalanta, who they beat 5-0 away.
They welcome the Serie A team to Anfield with the knowledge that victory would secure their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, having won all three Group D games so far this season.

Blockchain is one of the most important technologies developed since the Industrial Revolution, and likewise, its impact will stretch into the future in ways unforeseen today.
A bold statement, but one being embraced by a growing number of decision-makers in the logistics industry. The vision of harnessing the fundamental power of the blockchain to transform the supply chain as we know it is not limited to far-reaching, long-term endpoints, but in the shorter term here-and-now.
This vision includes blockchain-powered seamless border crossings and track-and-trace, which will not only tell you where your product is but the product's environmental attributes like temperature or harsh handling conditions. Additionally, at any point in time, we will be able to predict the probability of on-time delivery and, in the event of delays, notify you the exact moment the delay's probability exceeds a given threshold.
The process to move new technology out of the hypothetical and into real-world, practical use can be a daunting one. The benefits must be clear, the C-Suite needs to buy in and implementation has to be airtight.
My team has had the good fortune to have had those stars align, and we launched our first production blockchain through a partnership with Chain.io earlier this year. This project securely and immutably stores compliance documentation — a solution ready for production today, not some nebulous time in the future.
The majority of the world's commerce is managed by text-based electronic documents like EDI and XML or scanned images. The inception of data transmitted in current modes is not guaranteed. All parties involved are not working from a single source of truth, which causes headaches for auditors.
Using a blockchain solution solves both problems by providing a single source of truth via independent blockchain and a permanent, timestamped fingerprint derived from the data itself for provenance. If a single letter in a document or pixel in an image is changed, then the fingerprint is immediately invalid. The fingerprint is generated using a cryptographically secure hashing algorithm.
Storing archive-grade, encrypted records while publishing an unchangeable fingerprint on the public Ethereum blockchain ensures the integrity remains intact. The blockchain used is immutable and therefore cannot be altered after the fact.
The blockchain will also be able to store critical compliance information, including sourcing records, environmental chain of custody information, tariff classification support, vendor security audits, general commercial documents and more.
Compliance is of utmost importance in the logistics world, and this technology upgrade is providing a demonstrative step forward.
These new capabilities significantly boost the ability to meet regulatory demands, providing a higher level of available details as we manage customer accounts. The increased visibility internally will allow us to continue to support the new challenges in today's world of global trade.
The documents of the future will be all digital and securely stored on an immutable blockchain. Payments for services or exchanges of services will be made through smart contracts only after all the exact conditions are verifiably met. It's an exciting time of evolution in the industry.
In my team's experience, this project's value proposition has been immediately apparent to internal and external stakeholders and has opened the door to increased interest in the technology. As a result, future blockchain efforts are being approved; in the coming months, we expect to add blockchain-enabled bills of lading and blockchain-powered invoicing.
This impact of blockchain technology will eventually not only disrupt, but destroy intermediaries. Peer-to-peer interactions between entities and direct, frictionless interactions will change everything about the world in which we live and do business. Are you ready?
Blockchain: The next logistics frontier?

Home / Cities / Patna News / Parties still shy of big 'ticket' change for women in Bihar
Parties still shy of big 'ticket' change for women in Bihar
ByArun Kumar, Patna
As Bihar's chief minister for 15 years, Nitish Kumar has indeed taken a slew of initiatives for women, but their political empowerment, particularly in the context of assembly elections, remains a concern even today.
Initiatives like cycle scheme for girls, 50% reservation to women in panchayats, primary agriculture credit societies, cooperative societies and school teachers' recruitment, or even total prohibition in Bihar have found favour with women, which manifested itself in their turnout during 2019 Lok Sabha election, which was 60% compared to 55% male voters.
But their representation in the state assembly remains low.
The present assembly has just 28 women, which comes to mere 11% of the House strength of 243.
The high point was the 2010 assembly polls, when 34 women (14%) made it to the Assembly, the highest representation in the last six decades.
The year 2010 also witnessed the highest number of women in the election fray at 307, which dropped to 272 five years later.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections also, only three women could win from Bihar. The 17th Lok Sabha got 78 woman MPs, an increase of 16 from the 16th but it was still just 14.31%.
With another Assembly elections round the corner, the issue of woman representation has again started drawing attention, as it depends on how many tickets mainstream political parties actually give to women. Most political parties shy away from giving tickets to women citing the winnability factor in the male-dominated electoral politics.
Shakti, along with 120 grassroots organisations, has very timely appealed to all political parties in Bihar, national and smaller parties, urging them to field 50% female candidates.
Tara Krishnswamy, co-founder of Shakti, said, "The last 68 years of elections in Bihar show that men have 90% reservations in the Assembly, which implies that voters have no choice. Shockingly, if we add up all the women who have ever been MLAs in Bihar, it adds up to only 277! Just a little more than the size of the Assembly."
"How can Bihar become a glorious state by leaving 50% of the talent untapped for state governance? We are putting public pressure on the parties to be fair, and field 50% women candidates. It is the only democratic thing to do," she says.
Dr Maya Shankar Prasad, historian and retired professor, department of history, Patna University, says, "21st century should be a gender equality century, especially when it comes to representation in the Parliament and state assemblies. It would be a good gesture on the part of our leaders to offer them at least 33% to start with."
Earlier this month, an endeavour to groom woman leaders by a social organization 'Netri Foundation' and involving experts from World Bank, UN Women, Indian School of democracy and other organisations also got underway with the support from all the mainstream political parties to prepare woman leaders for 2020 polls.
"We have trained over 250 women in UP and MP for panchayat politicians, but this is the first time we doing it for assembly elections. The objective is to let women themselves champion the cause of gender in politics, which remains largely neglected. The response has been very good," said Netri founder Kanchi Agarwal, adding the programme ends on October 3.
Congress MLA Amita Bhushan too pitched for at least 33% reservation for women in the legislature. "Rest they can do themselves, as they have amply proved with whatever opportunities have come their way. It is high time all the political parties came forward to give women the representation they deserve and stop rhetoric. Women today are ready to take the mantle, but they are being denied their rights," she says.
RJD MLA EjyaYadav said it was for the woman to take the initiative to make a place for themselves the male-dominated field. "They need to have the leadership quality and family support, as politics requires a lot of sacrifice. Things are gradually changing, but it will take time, as nothing comes easy," she says.

Why is Improv important in my work and in life?
Check out this 1 minute video for a peak at all the fun!
Improvisation is a technique of performance based speech that creates scenes made up on the spot through suggestions from classmates; while creating moments of "being in the now" and "yes, and". Being in the now teaches how to listen better and stop being in our heads, especially when conversing with other people. Yes, and just means that you agree with whatever suggestion or label is given to you and you add information to enhance the suggestion. This also helps you to be present. The values of these can only be measured through experiencing it firsthand. The results are immediate, and you will feel completely engaged in a way you never experienced before.
Improvisation helps boost self-esteem and is an excellent way to allow children to tap deeper into their imagination and create whatever they want, and execute it. Furthermore, improvisation has a lot of 'give and take', teaching them to have patience and respect for others by LISTENING and sharing their time on the stage with others, while having fun! It also releases stress and allows them to express themselves and get their emotions out. Stress release has been proven to assist in a clear and healthy mind; which is essential for a child's learning and wellbeing.
The hospitality business has gained huge benefits from their staff participating in the skill of improv. Improvisation will assist the staff in their abilities to converse with guests in a more personal, genuine, and lighthearted way providing a more enjoyable experience for the patron while delivering even more exceptional customer service.
Why spend thousands and thousands of dollars bringing in a sales coach or registering for impersonal online courses when you can have a TON of fun with your colleagues while learning the skills of improvisation! Improv will boost productivity and sales by forming your sales team into a customer magnet with a new approach on being present, in the now. Who doesn't like people persons? Someone they can trust. Learning the skill of improv will teach your sales team to engage in their customers in a way that no other training will provide.
Improv Night EVERY Monday at Eve Encinitas!

Live Post-Mortem Experience Is Coming To The UK
Published 15:50, 08 June 2021 BST
A live tour of a post-mortem is coming to the UK this summer.
Although it might not be everyone's idea of a day out, there's no question that Post-Mortem Live will be a fascinating look at what actually happens during an autopsy.
The experience is heading to a load of cities around the UK, giving those who attend a look at what happens when a pathologist carries out a post-mortem.
OK, it seems to be aimed at medical students, who you suspect will best benefit from this. However, it's also open to the general public - so there's your next big day out sorted, possibly.
So what does it involve? Well, nationally acclaimed anatomist Samuel Piri will guide his wider clinical team and the audience through the process, giving guests a look at the complex human anatomy.
The website reads: "Samuel developed VIVIT - the world's only semi-synthetic human cadaver to train students anatomy in a contextualised format.
Credit: Post Mortem Live
"We operate the only license in the UK permitting the use of real tissues in the teaching and training of human anatomy."
Post-Mortem Live also looks at what needs to be investigated to confirm how a person dies, as well as dissection and examination of the head and neck, abdomen and thorax, eventually arriving at a conclusion as to how the death happened.
It adds: "Post-Mortem Live offers the chance to get hands on with real anatomical specimens of porcine origin contextualised into a simulated human body dissection.
"Using our state-of- the-art cadaver we'll take you quite literally into the bowels of the post mortem process where you'll have the chance to get hands on with real specimens, conduct real technical dissection and even ascertain the cause of death."
Just to drive the point home, it's also described as 'an experience like no other', which seems legit.
The Post-Mortem Live tour will visit universities in the UK, showing real specimens. It also counts as four hours of accredited Continuing Professional Development (CPD) - so you might even be able to use it as part of your job or course.
Ticket prices vary, with Blue Light and NHS discounts available. The price of the ticket includes entry, as well as anything needed to take part in the event.
This means that basic PPE, masks, hats, gloves, printed anatomy diagrams, literature packs, specimens and clinical consumables are all provided for no extra charge.
Post-mortems are carried out to find out how, when and why someone died. They also help pathologists to get a better understanding of how disease spreads.
Not only that, but they enable medical professionals to learn more about illnesses and conditions to benefit patients, and help to develop treatments.
The coroner is required by law to carry out a post-mortem when a death is suspicious, sudden or unnatural.

Explanation:

*Week starting 2019-04-01 to 2019-04-14: Student A drank Coke and Lemon Juice

*Week starting 2019-04-08 to 2019-04-21: Student A drank Coke, Lemon Juice and Green Tea

*Week starting 2019-04-01 to 2019-04-14: Student B drank Pepsi, Apple Juice and Mineral Water

I am using Oracle database 11g so I am afraid there is no lateral join nor outer apply.

A: You can try with union all
select
  '2019-04-14' as week_day,
    student,
    class,
    groups,
    count(distinct drinks) as total_unique_drinks
from students
where day >= '2019-04-01'
and day <= '2019-04-14'
group by
    student,
    class,
    groups

union all

select
  '2019-04-28',
    student,
    class,
    groups,
    count(distinct drinks)
from students
where day >= '2019-04-15'
and day <= '2019-04-28'
group by
    student,
    class,
    groups

Output:
| week_day   | student | class | groups | total_unique_drinks |
| ---------- | ------- | ----- | ------ | ------------------- |
| 2019-04-14 | A       | 3A1   | 1      | 2                   |
| 2019-04-14 | B       | 3B1   | 3      | 3                   |
| 2019-04-28 | A       | 3A1   | 1      | 1                   |

A: You can group by 14 days periods.
this script works only data which has date smaller than 29.xx.xxxx.
  select student,
         class,
         group,
           day
         + (case
               when TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (day, 'dd')) > 14
               then
                  28 - TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (day, 'dd'))
               else
                  14 - TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (day, 'dd'))
            end),
         COUNT (distinct (drinks))
    from students
group by student,
         dt,
         class,
         group,
         + (case
               when TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (dt, 'dd')) > 14
               then
                  28 - TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (dt, 'dd'))
               else
                  14 - TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (dt, 'dd'))
            end)

A: You can extract the week number for the year using the IW format.  Then, divide by 2:
select min(day), student, class, group, count(distinct drink)
from (select s.*,
             to_number(to_char(day, 'IW')) - 1 as week_number
      from students s
     ) s
group floor(week_number / 2), student, class, group;

It is not clear if you want to start on even or odd weeks, so the - 1 may not be necessary.
Note that group is a really bad name for a column because it is a SQL keyword.

A: That you have/want a year's worth of data significantly changes the question. In the future please make sure that type information is included even if the sample data does not.
However, what you want by the description is not overly difficult (I added both start and end of the 14 day periods):
with parm(proc_year) as
       (select &proc_year from dual)
  , cal(proc_year,start_period, end_period) as
       (select proc_year
             , next_day(to_date(to_char(proc_year)||'0104','yyyymmdd')-7,'mon')
             , next_day(to_date(to_char(proc_year)||'0104','yyyymmdd')-7,'mon')+13 from parm
        union all
        select proc_year,start_period+14, end_period+14
           from cal
         where extract(year from end_period) <= proc_year
       )
select to_char(c.start_period, 'yyyy-mm-dd')  "14 Day Start"
     , to_char(c.end_period, 'yyyy-mm-dd')    "14 Day Ending"
     , sd.student                             "Student"
     , sd.class                               "Class"
     ,sd.group_cd                             "Group"
     , count(distinct drinks)                 "Unique Drink Count"
  from cal                 c
  left join student_drinks sd
         on trunc(sd.day) between c.start_period and c.end_period
  group by c.end_period
         , sd.student
         , sd.class
         , sd.group_cd
         , c.start_period
  order by sd.student
         , c.end_period ;

How it works
The main driver is the recursive CTE (cal) which builds a 14day calendar for the requested year. The heart of this is the base query of the recursive CTE (introduced in 11gR2). This query determines the first week according to ISO8601* definition, and the last day of a 14 day period beginning then. The recursive part then calculates remaining 14 day periods for that year. The main query is then just a basic count query.

The Result (see fiddle):
Given your data it gives the "something like" your output. But it cannot be produced exactly:

*

*Your sample data contains 7 rows, but your output only accounts for
6 rows. (2+1+3).

*The dates of your output do not correspond to the end of a 14 day period from the 1st week of the year. They represent the end of 14day period from 1st week of April. However that date is the beginning of the 2nd week of a 14day period.

*"Every Monday to following Sunday" is only a 7day period. You need "every other Monday to the 2nd Sunday following".

*ISO8601 can produce unexpected results at the transaction from 1 year to another.
  - Every week begins on Monday and is always 7 days long;
  - The 1st week of the year begins Monday on or preceding 4-Jan.

As a result of the above the 1st week of a year may begin in the prior
year and include the last days of Dec. Also the 1st days in Jan may be
included in the last week (52 or 53) of the prior year.

Eastman Kodak Co, once a mighty photography pioneer, earned court approval on Tuesday for a plan to emerge from bankruptcy as a much smaller digital-imaging company.
"It will be enormously valuable for the company to get out of Chapter 11 and hopefully begin to regain its position in the pantheon of American business," Gropper said.
With the court approval, the company's exit from bankruptcy is now imminent, Chief Executive Antonio Perez said in a statement.
"Next, we move on to emergence as a technology leader serving large and growing commercial imaging markets," he said, adding the company will have a leaner structure and a stronger balance sheet.
Its new structure will mean a lower public profile for Kodak's iconic name and its expected revenues, about $2.5 billion, are roughly half of what it had when it filed for Chapter 11.
"This comes on a day when many are losing retirement benefits, and many are finding that their recovery as a creditor is just a minute fraction of what their debt is," Gropper said. "But I cannot decree a larger payment for creditors or any payment for shareholders if the value is not there."
Kodak's bankruptcy capped a protracted plunge for the company, which was founded in 1880 by George Eastman, the inventor of the hand-held camera and rolled photographic film. Kodak's market value topped $31 billion in the mid-1990s.
The company sought other ways to save money. In April, it resolved a crucial dispute with its British pension, which dropped a $2.8 billion claim against Kodak while buying the company's personalized imaging and document imaging businesses for $650 million.
Shareholders fought to salvage some value from the bankruptcy, including at Tuesday's hearing, saying Kodak was undervaluing its reorganized entity. But Gropper repeatedly denied their efforts to form a committee to represent their interests, saying it was clear there would be no value for them.
Gropper's patience ran out however when he admonished one shareholder for asking what he felt were overly broad questions of Kodak executives about their methodology for the company's valuation. The Canadian shareholder spent close to an hour at the podium.
"It's like that in Canada too, yes?" said the judge, raising his voice.
Gropper later admitted he'd "been a bit impatient" with some stakeholders, calling Kodak's collapse a "tragedy of American economic life."


The unseasonally warm weather is having unintended negative consequences.
Wheatland County has just imposed a full fire ban on the municipality between Drumheller and Strathmore.
Permit burning is banned until further notice because of extreme dry and windy conditions. All outstanding permits are suspended.
The ban includes camp fires, charcoal barbeques, incinerators and fireworks. It does not include household fireplaces, gas barbeques and cook stoves and portable propane fire pits.
The Special Areas east of Drumheller has also imposed new fire restrictions for Areas 2 and 3. Farmers will have to notify the Hanna office before attempting any controlled burns.
Campfires are still permitted, but that may change if conditions worsen.

· Brady,Week 10 2021,MNF,Rams,49ers
LA Rams @ San Francisco 49ers
-Rams DE Von Miller (ankle) will make his debut with the team despite his questionable tag.
-Rams WR Robert Woods tore his ACL in practice on Thursday. He's done for the season.
-Rams C Brian Allen (elbow) is questionable. He was DNP on Thursday/Friday before getting in a limited session on Saturday.
-Rams CB Darious Williams (ankle) is questionable. He popped up on the injury report Friday as limited then did not practice Saturday. He also missed weeks 6-8 and hasn't played well this season. The Rams should be fine without him. Dont'e Deayon (thigh) was Williams's replacement when he missed time earlier. He's questionable with a thigh injury. He wasn't on the injury report till Saturday, where he didn't practice.
-49ers RB JaMycal hasty (ankle) is out. Eli Mitchell has been the workhorse back.
-49ers RT Mike McGlinchey (quad) is out for the season after getting injured last week.
-49ers DT Maurice Hurst (calf) is out. Hurst has only played two games this season (weeks 4 and 5).
-49ers CB Dre Kirkpatrick (ankle) is out. Kirkpatrick has mostly been playing special teams this season, only seeing serious snaps at corner in weeks 4 and 9.
-49ers WR Mohammed Sanu (knee) is out. He isn't very good.
-49ers S Jimmie Ward (quad) is questionable. He missed week 9, but did get in two limited sessions at practice Friday/Saturday (DNP Thursday).
-49ers CB Josh Norman (ribs) is questionable, but he practiced all week as limited and should play.
-49ers DL Arden Key (oblique) is questionable. He showed up on the injury report Friday as limited, then was limited Saturday as well. I'd lean toward him plays.
When the Rams have the ball:
The Rams offense is 2nd in DVOA and 2nd in EPA/play. Matt Stafford ranks 12th in PFF passing grades (77.2) while completing 68.2% of his passes (0.6% below expectation) and gaining 8.6 yards per attempt. He's done a solid job keeping the ball out of harm's way -- he has 6 INTs and a turnover worthy play percentage of 2.5%. He gets rid of the ball quickly, his average time to throw of 2.57 seconds is 9th fastest in the league. He's also under pressure just 24.1% of the time, third best rate in the league. The top receivers by projected targets: Cooper Kupp, Van Jefferson, TE Tyler Higbee, and Odell Beckham Jr. OBJ is set to make his debut, but I think it's fair to have him as the 4th most targeted Ram since he's been on the team for just a few days. Kupp is one of the most targeted receivers in all of football -- his 101 total targets is second to Tyreek Hill, and Kupp has played one less game. With Robert Woods (ACL) sidelined, I'd expect a 10+ target game from Kupp. The offensive line is a top 5 unit in football without any weaknesses. They'll be run blocking mostly for Darrell Henderson, with Sony Michel working as the change of pace back. On defense, the 49ers are 17th in DVOA and 23in in EPA/play. Nick Bosa (33 pressures) and Arik Armstead (25) are a fantastic pass rushing duo, but they've been downright awful at corner (hint: Josh Norman starts for them) and will be weakened further if Jimmy Ward can't play -- he's the only member of the 49ers defensive backfield with a PFF grade above 63 (Ward is at a 73.9). Fred Warner is a solid coverage linebacker, but it simply isn't enough. In the trenches, it should be a solid matchup from a pass blocking standpoint, but I'll take the Rams offensive line in the run game.
When the 49ers have the ball:
The 49ers (6th in DVOA, 15th in EPA/play) are still trotting out good ole Jimmy Garoppolo, who ranks 26th in PFF grades. He's completing 65.3% of his passes (0.2% below expectation) and gaining 8.2 yards per attempt. He's had issues throwing the ball at guys wearing the wrong color jersey -- his turnover worthy play percentage sits at 4.9%, 3rd highest in the league (Mike White and Zach Wilson are 1st and 2nd, shoutout Jets). He ranks 33rd of 36 QBs in percent of passes that travel over 20 yards, and ranks 1st in percent of passes that travel between 10 - 20 yards. The 49ers top receivers by projected targets: Deebo Samuel, TE George Kittle, and Brandon Aiyuk. Kittle and Samuel have both been solid, but every other receiving option has been subpar. The offensive line is very solid -- LT Trent Williams is by far the best graded lineman at any position, though they'll take a big drop on the right side of the line now that McGlinchey is hurt. The Rams on defense are 4th in DVOA and 7th in EPA/play. They already had a solid pass rush with Aaron Donald (who may or may not be God) and Leonard Floyd, but now adding in Von Miller means they have one of the best units in football. They should have a big advantage rushing the passer. Jalen Ramsey is, per usual, one of the top corners in football. Ramsey plays slot and outside corner at a roughly 50/50 split, so Samuel won't be able to avoid him by running more routes out of the slot.
Spread: When we ran the model last Tuesday, we slightly preferred the 49ers +4.0, but the strength (2.49) wasn't strong enough to warrant a recommendation. The line has since moved to 3.5. Ruling: lay off.
Total: The total sits at 50.5. Ruling: I'd lean under. It's a high total in a divisional game, but I don't love it.
Props:
Cooper Kupp o7.5 receptions -135 (DraftKings): Kupp has gone over this number in 3 of his last 4 games. With the game total above 50.5, no Robert Woods, and no corner on the 49ers roster capable of hanging with him, I'll take the over.
Matt Stafford o2.5 passing TDs +155 (Caesars): I'm just not turning down that juice.
Jauan Jennings u20.5 receiving yards -115 (DraftKings): This number is simply too high. Jennings is projected at 9.4 yards.


One of the largest sour beer festivals in the U.S.!
We started Sour Saturday at Atomic Liquors because we wanted to celebrate how amazing beer is and how talented the breweries we work with are. Due to the uniqueness and complexity of sour beer and the intricacies and time involved in the brewing process, sours are the perfect way to do that.
We feature beers and breweries that aren't easily accessible in Las Vegas because we believe it helps expand the community's awareness of what's possible with beer. The festival truly is the perfect kind of homegrown event for a homegrown bar; in a city where it's more common to implode history than to preserve it, Atomic Liquors has managed to stay true to its Las Vegas roots for more than 60 years.
Our sixth annual Sour Saturday will be on Saturday, November 10, 2018.

R1A - 001 | CCN: 35334
Imaginative Algorithms: Memory, Identity, Lyricality in Cybernetic Culture
Instructor: Ryan Ikeda & Yael Hacohen
In Technopoly, Neil Postman advances a perilous vision of American culture, which, he argues, has surrendered to digital technology. He configures a relationship between humans and technology in terms of power, coercion, and utility, where, in his words, we become the "tools of our tools." We may think that we simply use technology, but Postman suggests the opposite occurs: technology uses its user.
One might situate Postman's view alongside the emergence of cybernetics as a field of inquiry in the late 1940s and, decades later, through Web 3.0 culture, where the study of the control and flow of information becomes synonymous with tracking, aggregating, and directing human behavior. For media theorist N. Katherine Hayles, the rise of digital/cybernetic culture seeks to separate mental activity from its body by reducing humans to streams of data. This disembodiment, she argues, redefines what it means to be human by exchanging Enlightenment metaphors of a self-determined, logically-determined Man motivated by rational self-interest for the reticulated metaphors associated with digital technology – a networked and hackable body of human data packets loosely gathered under the term "posthuman."
Of course, Postman and Hayles' positions may drift toward dystopic – perhaps even technophobic — visions of digital technology that do not account for the entire field of media studies. But their arguments do reveal how digital technology might possibly unsettle staid assumptions about what it means to be human in a digital milieu and, more specifically, how digital technology may reconfigure notions of memory, identity, and subjectivity. In addition to questions raised by Postman and Hayles, we will engage a particular line of inquiry that explores key boundaries — between technology and humans, bots and bodies, algorithms and aesthetics — through conceptual, lyric, and collaborative poetry. We will consider the following questions:
What distinguishes aesthetic creations (e.g., poetry) from technical innovations?
As digital avatars replace our corporeal selves, what are the stakes for art perceived as separate from bodies?
And, more broadly: Does an increasing integration of and reliance upon digital technology, which some scholars qualify as a dependence, reconfigure what it means to be human?
As a class, we will address these questions not by seeking definitions of poetry and technology (though these may emerge from our projects), but by considering how each emerges as distinct from the other. We will follow these lines of inquiry through our own writing in two ways: first, by exploring works by contemporary new media artists and postwar American poets whose poems engage early cybernetic culture and, secondly, by conversing with new media critics and scholars contemplating the philosophy of technology and aesthetics.
As this is an R1A course, our focus is the craft of critical writing. You will be asked to engage, critique, and/or extend the work of prominent scholars, artists, and activists featured in the syllabus through a series of critical writing assignments that address the aforementioned questions. Critical writing is a practice that requires revision (as re-visioning); we will encourage this process by inviting you to edit and enhance at least 3 essays over the course of the semester based upon your reflections, peer review, and instructor feedback.


(Ana Michaels, Liberty Headlines) Six out of 22 arrests made by federal officers during a 3-day operation in the Chicago area were criminal aliens who were released, after local law enforcement failed to notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they were in custody.
Immigration detainers request for local law enforcement to inform ICE before the aliens are released from police custody for any reason.
During the 3-day operation, ICE officers made arrests in the following locations in Illinois: Chicago, Cicero, Hoffman Estates, Palatine, Park City, Rolling Meadows and Round Lake Beach.
Chicago had the highest number of arrest with 9.
The criminal illegal aliens arrested came from five countries: Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Serbia and Ukraine.
Mexico, with 17, had the highest number by far.
The rest all had one arrest, save Honduras with two.
According to ICE, most of the aliens targeted during the Chicago area operation had prior criminal histories.
Convictions included crimes such as sexual assault, kidnapping, assault, assault with a weapon, drug possession, theft, obstruction of justice and drunk driving.
Two people arrested by ICE were fugitive immigration violators known to authorities.
Six people were arrested for felony charges of illegally re-entering the United States after having been deported. If convicted they will face up to 20 years in federal prison.
A 38-year-old Mexican citizen and a known gang member was arrested Jan. 8 in Rolling Meadows. He was previously convicted in Cook County for felony aggravated criminal sexual assault and bodily harm. He was previously deported. Cook County Sheriff's Office did not honor the ICE detainer that was placed. He remains in ICE custody pending presentation of criminal prosecution for re-entry after deportation.
A 37-year-old previously deported Mexican man was arrested Jan. 7 in Chicago. He was previously convicted twice of drug possession, and he has pending criminal charges for sexually assaulting a child. He remains in ICE custody pending presentation of criminal prosecution for re-entry after deportation.
A 20-year-old Mexican man and a known gang member was arrested Jan. 7 in Round Lake Beach. He was previously convicted of battery. He is also Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient with two extensions. He was served a notice to appear before a federal immigration judge, and will remain in ICE custody pending disposition of his immigration proceedings.
A 32-year-old previously deported Ecuadoran man was arrested Jan. 7 in Chicago. He has criminal convictions for DUI, domestic assault and assault. He remains in ICE custody pending presentation of criminal prosecution for re-entry after deportation.
A 46-year-old previously deported Mexican man was arrested Jan. 7 in Chicago. He has a criminal conviction for possessing cocaine. He remains in ICE custody pending presentation of criminal prosecution for re-entry after deportation.

NFPA has recently changed the codes and standards making process. The revised ANSI accredited process makes it much easier to participate. It is also much easier to understand the impact of all the proposed revisions, which also makes it easier to understand the reasons for the changes from one edition to another. So if you are interested in researching specific provisions to any NFPA document, this will assist you. Also, there are a myriad of resources for you at NFPA, this presentation will show you how to access the many resources available to you at NFPA.

Five thousand years ago Mesopotamians started using sailing boats. Since Mesopotamia was situated between two famous rivers, namely the Euphrates and the Tigris, they needed water transportation for travel and trade. Some of the important items they are credited with inventing include wheels, chariots, sailboats and cuneiform (the earliest form of writing). These are just some of the contributions by the Mesopotamians to the modern world. All this and more was around four to five thousand years ago. Let's explore more about the important role of sailboats in their culture.
Why Did the Mesopotamians Need Sailboats?
A civilization flourishes based on its trade and commerce, and Mesopotamia was no exception. They wanted to set up trade relationships with nearby cities and countries. These were in the days before road routes were built making transportation of goods by land routes hectic and difficult. Therefore, they had to figure out an alternative mode of transportation for goods and people. This came in the form of water transportation, and thus the first boats were invented.
They were simple wooden boats that would carry people and goods downstream and then back upstream. But boats need people to navigate and guide them across rough waters, so the solution of having a vessel carry their goods and people had to be refined. Thus sailboats were invented. They were primitive in design, but the sailboats helped the Mesopotamians in trade and commerce.
They also helped in irrigation and fishing. Mesopotamians had mastered the art of fishing. They would go downstream using sailboats, cast their nets, stay, wait and return with the catch. Thus the sailboats of Mesopotamia helped the Mesopotamians establish trade relationships with other cities and countries, making them one of most famous civilizations to flourish and change the course of history with their inventions.
How were the Sailboats of Mesopotamians Made?
The sailboats of Mesopotamia were simple in design; the sails were square in shape and made of cloth. The angle and direction of the sails coul not be changed. If the wind blew in the direction that the sailboats desired to go, things went well. If that wasn't the case, they had to wait for the wind to blow in their favor!
The hull or the body of the boat was made of wood. Trees were cut and made into planks, and the planks were roughly shaped and joined together to make the body of the boat. Though they couldn't handle lots of cargo or people at a given time, they could do better than what other sailing vessels of that time had to offer. The design work they did on their sailboats provided the basis for all future sailboats, even five thousand years later.
Until the fall of Mesopotamian civilization, not many changes were made to the basic design of the sailboat. This crucial invention largely helped in making Mesopotamian civilization a great empire and civilization along with the society's other contributions.
Mesopotamia gave the world incredible contributions like wheels, cuneiform, sailboats, glass making, textile weaving and a lot more, truly making them one of the greatest civilizations ever to walk on this planet. Their sailboats were as simple as they needed to be, but they introduced plank construction and square sails. Even though the vessels were of limited capacity, these ships revolutionized water travel. The basic design of their sailboats is still in use even today.
