TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — The federal government could more quickly implement a plan to keep the Great Lakes free of Asian carpif the region's citizens and elected officials agreed on the best approach to take, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers official said Thursday.
The Corps has been accused of dragging its feet since releasing a report this month listing eight options for preventing the voracious carpand other invasive species from moving between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River watershed through Chicago-area rivers and canals. Several of the alternatives carry price tags exceeding $15 billion and would require 25 years to complete.
Corps project manager Dave Wethington said such a massive reworking of Chicago's waterway network would take a long time and carry a hefty price tag, requiring the construction of extensive tunnels and reservoirs to prevent flooding.

Assassin's Creed: Valhalla promises a second year of content
E3 2021, Gaming, News, Next Gen
A new Assassin's Creed game will not release next fall, nor anytime soon it seems. Fans of the long-running historical adventure series shouldn't be dismayed, though, because, for the first time in series history, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla has been given a second year of bonus content.
Revealed during today's Ubisoft E3 2021 livestream, this second year of content will include free events, the much anticipated one-handed sword and more. Valhalla is also expected to receive its second narrative expansion, The Siege of Paris, this summer.
This fall, those with interest will also be able to partake in the Discovery Tour: Viking Age for free. It follows on the footsteps of Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt and Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece, both of which taught players world history through landmarks featured in both Assassin's Creed: Origins and Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.
Lastly, the UbiForward event closed on an enigmatic image of a mysterious portal set in a dramatic landscape. This suggests that Eivor's journey is not over. Fans will have to stay tuned and keep their eyes and ears open for more information as the days and months progress.

Martijn Meerdink (Winterswijk, 15 september 1976) is een Nederlands voormalig voetballer, die bij voorkeur als rechtshalf speelde. Hij speelde voor de Nederlandse voetbalclubs De Graafschap, AZ Alkmaar en FC Groningen. Als vleugelspeler kwam hij eenmaal uit voor het Nederlands voetbalelftal.

Bij AZ maakte Meerdink in het seizoen 2004/05 deel uit van de wonderploeg die onder Co Adriaanse de halve finale van de UEFA Cup bereikte. Na een zware knieblessure in 2005 haalde hij nooit meer zijn oude vorm en ging het sindsdien bergafwaarts met zijn carrière.

Clubvoetbal
Meerdink begon op 4-jarige leeftijd met voetballen bij WVC uit Winterswijk. De Graafschap ontdekte hem op 13-jarige leeftijd en in het seizoen 1998/1999 maakte Meerdink zijn debuut voor de 'Superboeren'. In vier seizoenen op De Vijverberg kwam Meerdink tot 20 goals in 87 duels. Vooral in zijn laatste seizoen in Doetinchem (2001/2002) was Meerdink op dreef. In 32 wedstrijden maakte de aanvallende middenvelder tien doelpunten. Met zijn goede spel dwong Meerdink in 2002 een transfer naar AZ af.

AZ Alkmaar
In Alkmaar is Meerdink een van de sleutelspelers in de 'wonderploeg' van Co Adriaanse en groeide uit tot de beste rechtshalf van de Eredivisie. In zijn eerste drie seizoenen bij AZ kwam Meerdink tot 69 duels en 16 doelpunten. Begin 2005 werd Meerdink voor het eerst in zijn leven geselecteerd voor het Nederlands elftal.
Na een lang herstel keerde Meerdink eind 2005 terug bij AZ. Zijn goede spel leverde hem een contractverlenging op bij AZ. Ook bondscoach Marco van Basten was gecharmeerd van de comeback van Meerdink en selecteerde hem voor de tweede keer voor het Nederlands Elftal. Dit keer maakte hij dan ook zijn debuut, in de met 1-0 gewonnen oefeninterland tegen Ecuador.

Meerdink speelde vijf seizoenen voor AZ, maar sinds zijn knieblessure in 2005 ging zijn spel bergafwaarts en haalde hij nooit meer zijn oude vorm.

FC Groningen
Vanaf de winterstop in het seizoen 2006/2007 speelde hij voor FC Groningen. In 2009 keerde Meerdink op huurbasis terug bij De Graafschap.

BV De Graafschap
In maart 2010 maakte hij bekend vanwege blessures per direct te stoppen met voetballen.

Na het seizoen 2009/10 keerde Martijn Meerdink als amateurvoetballer terug bij WVC, de club waar hij als kind begon met de voetbalsport. Bij deze club kwam hij 2 seizoenen uit in de Derde klasse, maar na het seizoen 2011/12 besloot Meerdink volledig te stoppen. Na zijn hierboven omschreven afscheid, keerde Meerdink tijdelijk terug bij WVC om de laatste wedstrijden van het seizoen 2012/13 mee te spelen, omdat de club in erge degradatienood zat.

Meerdink was tussen 2011 en 2013 jeugdtrainer bij De Graafschap. Sinds 2013 is hij jeugdtrainer en tegelijkertijd assistent-trainer bij FC Winterswijk. In 2014 behaalde hij zijn TC2-trainersdiploma, waarmee hij de bevoegdheid verkreeg om clubs tot in de Tweede klasse te trainen.

Interlandvoetbal

Nederland
Als vleugelspeler bij het sterke AZ van Co Adriaanse gold Martijn Meerdink in 2005 als de beste rechtshalf van de Eredivisie. Daarom wordt Meerdink in maart 2005 door de bondscoach Marco van Basten uitgenodigd om zich aan te sluiten bij de selectie van het Nederlands voetbalelftal. Op 24 maart, twee dagen voor de WK kwalificatiewedstrijd tegen Roemenië, raakte Meerdink echter op de training in Noordwijk zwaar geblesseerd aan zijn knie en moest hierdoor gedwongen afhaken.

Na een lang herstel keerde Meerdink eind 2005 weer terug op het voetbalveld. In februari 2006 werd Meerdink wederom opgeroepen voor Oranje. Op woensdag 1 maart 2006 speelde Meerdink zijn eerste en enige interland voor het Nederlands elftal. Als vervanger van de geblesseerde Arjen Robben speelde hij de met 1-0 gewonnen vriendschappelijke interland tegen Ecuador in Amsterdam. In de 48ste minuut gaf Meerdink de assist op de scorende Dirk Kuijt. Meerdink werd hierna nog opgeroepen voor de EK kwalificatiewedstrijd tegen Luxemburg op 2 september 2006, maar bleef gedurende de hele wedstrijd bankzitter. Sindsdien werd hij niet meer opgeroepen. In een terugblik concludeerde Meerdink in 2012: "Die blessure in 2005 heeft me best wat gekost. Door mijn selectie voor Oranje lag ik goed in de markt. Dat was toen direct over. Ik ben er ruim een halfjaar uitgeweest en heb nooit meer het niveau gehaald van voor de blessure."

Tegen het einde van het seizoen 2009/10 werd Meerdink opmerkelijk opgeroepen voor het Nederlands strandvoetbalteam, dat in de zomer van 2010 als een van de landenteams deelnam aan een officieus internationaal toernooi dat in Doetinchem gespeeld werd om de strandvariant van het voetbal te promoten.

Na het beëindigden van zijn spelersloopbaan in 2010, speelde Meerdink nog meerdere wedstrijden met de oud-internationals. Met deze Nederlandse selectie van voormalig Oranje-spelers speelt hij onder meer jaarlijks de nieuwjaarswedstrijden tegen de Koninklijke HFC en wedstrijden om de Legends-Cup, een indoortoernooi dat jaarlijks in Moskou gespeeld wordt tussen landenteams die allen bestaan uit oud-internationals.

Clubstatistieken

Prive
Meerdink is gehuwd en heeft twee zonen die beide voetballen waaronder Mexx Meerdink die als aanvaller bij AZ voetbalt. Tevens is hij eigenaar van een eigen voetbalschool.

Dragon errors were usually related to the Meridian board set but, for the life of me, I couldn't tell you which one anymore. Have you runthe Avid system test?
I'm gonna move this over to the Meridian forum so that you can get better answers from the Gurus there.
Think that's a problem with the avid card in the G4, if you're confident try reseating it and also check the little jumper cable to the graphics card.
Thank you both for your quick answers.
But, I have tried to reseat it, checked the jumper cable, done a disk first aid, a scan by diskwarrior, copied the media to another disk, but the problem still persist. I think there will be only some files which are corrupt, but how do I know if this problem doesn't occur more often during the whole editing.
I'm trying to do a system test, but everytime I launch it, my macintosh enters to Macsbug. And there, none of the commands works.

Q: JUnit testing with mockito I have this filter class and need to have code coverage as high as possible while testing with junit.
public void doFilter(ServletRequest servletRequest, ServletResponse servletResponse, FilterChain filterChain) throws IOException, ServletException {
    HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) servletRequest;
    HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) servletResponse;
    String userId= request.getHeader(Constants.USER_ID);

    if (StringUtils.isEmpty(userId)) {
        LOGGER.error("User Id is missing in request header.");
        isAuthorized = false;
    }

    if (!isAuthorized) {
        LOGGER.warn("Authorization failed: User ID =[{}] is not authorized to access.", userId);
        response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
        response.getWriter().write(errorMsg);
    } else {
        filterChain.doFilter(request, response);
    }
}

And test class:
@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class SampleFilterTest {

    @Mock
    FilterConfig filterConfig;

    ServletRequest servletRequest;
    ServletResponse servletResponse;
    HttpServletRequest request;

    @Mock
    FilterChain filterChain;

    @Mock
    HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse;

    @InjectMocks
    SampleFilter sampleFilter;

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
    }

    @Test
    public void init() throws ServletException {
        sampleFilter.init(filterConfig);
    }

    @Test
    public void doFilter() throws IOException, ServletException{
        //when(request.getHeader(Constants.USER_ID)).thenReturn("batman");
        sampleFilter.doFilter(servletRequest, servletResponse, filterChain);
    }

    @Test
    public void destroy() {
        sampleFilter.destroy();
    }
}

When I run doFilter() it returns NullPointerException at
String userId= request.getHeader(Constants.USER_ID);

line.
How do I avoid this?
I need to call this method and execute whatever is inside to provide required code coverage.

A: The problem is that
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) servletRequest;

is casting to null because you pass in a ServletRequest which wont cast to HttpServletRequest
Mock the actual type you are trying to casting it to within the method under test.
For example
//...

@Test
public void doFilter() throws IOException, ServletException {
    //Arrange
    //mock HttpServletResponse so cast does not fail
    ServletRequest request = mock(HttpServletRequest.class);
    when(request.getHeader(Constants.USER_ID)).thenReturn("batman");

    ServletResponse response = mock(HttpServletResponse.class);
    //setup response as neded. Looks like `.getWriter().write(errorMsg);` needs mocking

    //Act
    sampleFilter.doFilter(request, response, filterChain);

    //Assert
    //...
}

Mike Miller, RACOM: Next-gen 911 can be a golden opportunity
Mike Miller, president and CEO of Marshalltown, Iowa-based RACOM, talked with IWCE's Urgent Communications Editor Donny Jackson about trends he is seeing in the industry, including an increase in next-generation 911 business, the benefits of IP-trained staff and consolidation opportunities for dealers.
It's 2014, and the business from FCC mandates for narrowbanding and rebanding is done in most of the country. How is this impacting your business?
"What we thought would happen is that 800 MHz rebanding is done, narrowbanding is done and that business would fall off for a period of time, because everybody's got new equipment—that was the conventional wisdom we all sort of planned for. But that's not the case at all. I think that business is every bit as strong or even stronger.
"I try to pinpoint reasons behind it, and some of it is that people narrowbanded their UHF and VHF systems and are now realizing that their coverage is really bad, so they're moving to a digital technology, adding simulcast or adding voted receivers. So, there's a lot of that work … to try to get back the coverage they lost during narrowbanding, so that's been a strong business for us.
"One of the strongest areas of business for us is people moving from analog phone systems to next-gen 911 phone systems. In our part of the world, that's where all the grant money is. For the past year, the state of Iowa [homeland security] was giving $50,000 to any 911 center that wanted to upgrade to a next-gen 911 phone system. In July, they're increasing it to $100,000, so they're making it even sweeter for people to move to next-gen 911 phone systems."
How many PSAPs are you seeing make that migration today?
"In Iowa, there are about 115 to 120 911 answering points, so there are 115 to 120 911 telephone systems that need to be upgraded from analog-based to next-gen IP-based [technology]. We don't service them all, but my guess is that maybe half of them have made the migration to next-gen 911, with us or with somebody else. And I'll bet that half of those did it before the state was offering much grant money. So, it's not just a grant-money thing. It's 'I want to be prepared to accept text messages.'
"I see a lot of customers take the migration strategy of 'I'm going to do my consoles first; I'm going to do my 911 phone system next; and I'm going to do my radio system third.' When they're planning for the radio system and upgrading the other two large pieces of technology in the dispatch center, they say, 'If I'm going to upgrade that, I better go next-gen 911.'"

Q: How to parse "May 17-Jul 18" period of time from text in Python? I want to parse month and year from given string.
I have list of strings like below:
a = ['WORK EXPERIENCE: ',
 'Cause + Effect Strategy & Marketing (CESM) | Rochester, New York ',
 '',
 '              May 17-Aug 17 ',
 '',
 '                  Jun 14-Jun 15 ',]

Now I want to first parse date like "May 17-Aug 17" and "Jun 14-Jun 15" from list.
I tried to use for loops on each element of list and used datefinder and parser, so I can get date string, but I got empty list.
I tried to use regex for find date like below:
re.findall(r'((?:Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec)[a-z]*(?:-|\.|\s|,)\s?\d{,2}[a-z]*(?:-|,|\s)?\s?\d{2,4})',string)

I got from above regex.

A: Initially I want to extract Period of Month and year from string ( ex: May 17-Aug 17). I tried to use Datefinder and Parser library but it was not able to extract it. But later I tried with regex and it gave me answer which I need: ((?:Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec)[a-z]*(?:-|\.|\s|,)\s?\d{,2}[a-z]*(?:-|,|\s)?\s?\d{2,4})' will find month in given regex and then find year.
a = ['WORK EXPERIENCE: ',
     'Cause + Effect Strategy & Marketing (CESM) | Rochester, New York ',
     '',
     '              May 17-Aug 17 ',
     '',
     '                  Jun 14-Jun 15 ',]

date = []
for text in a:

match = re.findall(r'((?:Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec)[a-z]*(?:-|\.|\s|,)\s?\d{,2}[a-z]*(?:-|,|\s)?\s?\d{2,4})',text)
if match:
    date.append(match)
else:
    pass

print(date)

Annoverato tra i migliori giocatori filippini dell'era moderna, ha iniziato la propria carriera tra le giovanili dello  e quindi del , con cui ha poi esordito professionalmente nel 2004. Dopo brevi esperienze in Bundesliga con  ed , nel 2017 si è trasferito nella Philippines Football League presso lo .

A livello internazionale, dopo aver militato nelle giovanili della Germania, ha esordito con la nazionale filippina nel 2011. Con la maglia degli Azkals ha partecipato alla Coppa d'Asia 2019, la prima di sempre del suo Paese, dove ha segnato il primo gol dei filippini in tale competizione.

Biografia
È nato a Schweinfurt da padre tedesco e madre filippina, originaria di Parang.

Caratteristiche tecniche
Giocatore di fisico minuto ma compatto, è un centrocampista completo in grado di ricoprire svariate posizioni. Oltre al ruolo originario di trequartista, la sua duttilità gli permette infatti di essere impiegato come esterno offensivo, come mezzala, oppure a ridosso della difesa. Durante la propria carriera in Germania ha ricoperto anche il ruolo di  difensore laterale, mentre in altre occasioni è stato utilizzato come mediano oppure come prima punta.

Nel corso della propria carriera Schröck si è contraddistinto come un leader carismatico, il cui spirito di sacrificio ne fa un punto di riferimento naturale per i suoi compagni. Abile con entrambi i piedi e tecnicamente dotato, abbina un'ottima visione di gioco a una notevole dinamicità e aggressività, caratteristiche che lo rendono utile sia nella fase offensiva che in quella di copertura. Tra le sue doti principali rientrano altresì il dribbling, il controllo del pallone, la precisione nei passaggi e l'abilità nei cross. Dotato di un buon tiro dalla distanza, è anche abile nel calciare punizioni e rigori: la propensione al gol con soluzioni personali dalla media-lunga distanza lo ha portato, in alcuni casi, a segnare direttamente da calcio d'angolo.

La foga agonistica lo ha portato a ricevere spesso sanzioni disciplinari.

Carriera

Club

Greuther Fürth
Ha iniziato a giocare nel settore giovanile del , squadra con la quale ha anche esordito in prima squadra nel 2004. Con i bianco-verdi ha disputato in totale 183 partite e segnando 7 gol.

Hoffenheim
Nella stagione 2012-2013 gioca con l', con cui però disputa solo 10 partite.

Eintracht Francoforte
Il 27 giugno 2013 il giocatore filippino si trasferisce all'Eintracht Francoforte, con la quale firma un contratto biennale.

Nazionale
Nel 2011 ha deciso di giocare per la Nazionale filippina, dopo aver giocato nelle Nazionali giovanili della Germania.

Il 12 novembre 2015, nella partita Filippine-Yemen (0-1), indossa per la prima volta la fascia di capitano.

Agli inizi del 2019 diventa il nuovo capitano degli Azkals ereditando la fascia da Philip Younghusband. Guida quindi i filippini nella Coppa d'Asia 2019 dove le Filippine si classificano ultime nel proprio girone dopo aver perso contro Corea del Sud (1-0), Cina (3-0) e Kirghizistan (3-1). Proprio contro i kirghisi Schröck segna su punizione il primo storico gol delle Filippine nella rassegna continentale. Sul finire dell'anno guida invece la nazionale Under-23 ai XXX Giochi del Sud-est asiatico, dove i filippini vengono eliminati già al primo turno malgrado il secondo posto a pari merito con la Cambogia, per via della differenza reti a favore di questi ultimi.

Nel dicembre 2021 guida le Filippine in occasione del Campionato dell'ASEAN 2020, posticipato di un anno a causa della sopraggiunta pandemia di COVID-19, in cui la sua squadra esce ai gironi per via di due sconfitte contro Singapore (1-2) e Thailandia (1-2).

In tegenstelling tot een robotarm is de manipulator direct zonder programmeren te gebruiken als een verlengstuk van een operator of de "gehandicapte" gebruiker. Deze laatste kan de manipulator besturen door bijvoorbeeld zwakke vingerbewegingen of hoofdbewegingen.

Een belangrijke eigenschap van een manipulator is dat hij een gedoseerde kracht in een bepaalde richting op een bepaalde plaats kan uitvoeren. Hiervoor is de regeltechnische benadering principieel anders dan bij een robot. Bij een robot wordt hoofdzakelijk positie gestuurd. Hierdoor is een manipulator in principe meer compliant dan een robot.

Een manipulator wordt in een ongestructureerde omgeving real-time gebruikt. Een robot in een gestructureerde omgeving, bijvoorbeeld een productiefabriek, volgens vooraf ingebrachte regels.

Een manipulator is ook een goochelaar die trucs gebruikt waarbij hij vingervlug is.

Een manipulator is ook een iets of iemand die invloed (in algemene zin) uitoefent op zijn omgeving. Iemand die de dingen naar zijn hand zet.

You want the best in modern watchmaking? You're looking at it. Tomorrow in Hong Kong, Christie's will offer up three of the most interesting, provocative, and important examples of today's horology all in one room.
They have an MB&F HM3 in white gold, an Urwerk 202 in a rare configuration of dark Blue PVD coated platinum (blue platinum, you fo' real?) and finally, the rarest of them all, a Harry Winston Opus V. The Opus V is heralded by many as one of the most important watches of the past decade, combining Maximillian Busser's business sense as then head of Harry Winston Timepieces and the technical skills of the boys at Urwerk.
The Opus V helped pave the way for both MB&F and Urwerk to become the powerhouse independent brands that they are today, and it's also what we imagine will be the only chance to own a watch with ties to both Mr. Busser and Mr. Baumgartner in the foreseeable future. Only 45 Opus V's were made in platinum and most are locked away in collectors' safes.
The MB&F holds an estimate of $38,000-$51,000, the Urwerk is estimated at $72,000-$100,000, and the Harry Winston is at $124,000-$193,000.
Oh and by the way, there is also a De Bethune perpetual calendar in the sale. Boom. Go Nuts.

Q: Close pop-up box with mouse click outside boundary I have made this homepage. That has pop up boxes with log-in fields. When there is a pop up the background is dimmed. But the pop up should close if the user clicks any where outside the boundaries of the box. I have created the function closeOverlay, which works when the user hits "esc" on the keyboard, but when the user clicks outside the boundary of the box nothing happens. How can I make it so it works in both cases, when the user hits escape, or takes the mouse outside of the box boundaries and clicks

Let a New Season Begin!
Veteran American cyclocross racer Jonathan Page reports from Europe.
By jonathan page
Gerrit Vanderlinden
Oudenaarde, Belgium—September 2011
I'm really happy for the opportunity to be writing for Bicycling this cyclocross season. I'll be sending regular updates as I race throughout the European 'cross season, which not long ago started up in earnest and will run through February.
Now, a few of you might know me already, but for everyone who doesn't, here's a little bit of background.
My name's Jonathan Page and I've been racing for 20 years. I started on the mountain bike, moved to road, back to mountain bike, tried cyclocross, liked it, went back to road, and, finally, in 2002, with my new wife, Cori, by my side, I decided to concentrate on 'cross.
Cori and I traveled to Belgium in October 2002 and spent the season living with my friend (and now mechanic) Franky and his wife, Cindy. I did my best against the best, but nothing was easy racing here. Since then, we've lived in a couple of strange apartments and one good one, bought a house, had three kids (two in Belgium and the last one in Germany at the world championships!), met a few jerks here and there but also a lot of really kind people, have had plenty of not-so-great results yet also a handful of good results to make it all worthwhile.
I've finally become accepted here in Europe, both on and off the circuit. I even have lots of loyal supporters who show up to cheer me on at the races. Luckily, too, I've found some great sponsors, many of whom have become like family to us, who I have made into my "team." They make it possible for me to have my dream career. My title sponsor is Planet Bike and my co-sponsors are Blue Competition Cycles for my bikes and Enve Composites for wheels. Lazer Helmets has been a longtime sponsor, and new this year is Spy Optic sunglasses. In addition, I'm sponsored by Herriott Sports Performance, Vermarc, Shimano, TRP, and Franky's Cycling Solutions. I'm lucky—I know. And very thankful too!
So, in Belgium we live in the house we bought five years ago, and our two oldest kids go to a Dutch-speaking school. I travel to most of the biggest UCI races in a mobile home, which makes racing life much nicer for the family and for me.
I'm very excited for the new season of European 'cross. In my next post, a little bit about how my season started back in States and the first races here in Europe battling against the best riders in the world.

Peter Houston wanted to find the grave of the war-hero father he never knew - a yearning that drew him thousands of miles from home to a military cemetery in France. He never dreamed that his private pilgrimage would unearth a decades-long secret and plunge him into a deadly labyrinth of intrigue and murder. As ruthless assassins hunt him through the cities of Europe, he struggles to stay alive, but when they murder the woman he loves, he turns from hunted to hunter - and swears a blood oath of vengeance.
Blood Oath by David Morrell, narrated by Dan John Miller

Su Rou was wearing a white dress at that instant. With that clothing and her fox-like face, it was obviously different than the crowd and there was a type of manner that seemed different from the convention.
But, when Su Rou appeared, the expressions of the elders became more serious.
The iron prison was already tightly guarded. Other than the people from the punishment department, no other people could enter. Su Rou's current actions were just like breaking in.
Although Su Rou arrived with bad intentions, after thinking about this person's background, even Liu Chengen had to smile while facing her.
"Just a small issue that I hope you can help out." Su Rou's charming smile had thousands different types of grace and even the old people found it difficult to manage her.
"If you have anything please say so. I will try my best to help out." Liu Chengen smiled and said.
"I want to bring this Chu Feng away." Su Rou lightly smiled and said.
With those words, not only the other people, even the Liu Chengen who was full of smiles had a great change in expression.
"Su Rou, what joke is this? Do you know what Chu Feng did?" Liu Chengen's attitude became serious.
"No matter what he did, today, I will bring him away." Su Rou also put away her smile.
"That will not do. I will say this right now. Even if God comes, don't think of taking Chu Feng away. See her out." Liu Chengen waved his big sleeve, turned around and didn't pay attention to Su Rou anymore.
"Elder Su Rou, please." Seeing that, several elders forcefully smiled and walked towards Su Rou, wanting to bring her away.
But before even getting close, a formless pressure shot out from Su Rou's body. That pressure was strong and it swirled like a whirlpool. Instantly, it filled the entire iron prison.
Almost at the same time, when the pressure was emitted, a dozen or so elders fell on the ground and mouthfuls of blood sprayed out from their mouths. Only Liu Chengen could continue standing.
At that instant, around Su Rou, a whirlwind was spinning around and that jet-black long hair was flying up and down. The snow-white long dress shook left and right as if a fairy was landing. But, her gaze was abnormally icy cold.
Seeing that, Liu Chengen also got angry. The same strong pressure exploded out and engulfed the iron prison.
At that moment, Chu Feng could hear the ear-piercing rumbling coming from all directions. He could also see that the sturdy iron prison was violently shaking as if unable to resist against the pressure coming from the two of them.
Under the pressure, even the Origin realm elders on the ground hugged their head while yelling as it was hard to endure.
But Chu Feng was completely fine. There was a warm aura around him that was defending him against a strong one. It was obvious that Su Rou's pressure was protecting him.
Suddenly, Su Rou stepped forward once. Just as her feet touched the ground, a deep crack slowly extended out like a moving snake. It rapidly surged forward on the ground and went towards Liu Chengen.
When the crack arrived in front of Liu Chengen, he instantly flew away and fiercely crashed into the iron walls. As he landed, his mouth opened and a mouthful of his old blood sprayed out.
"You…You actually reached this stage. With that strength, why are you still staying in the inner court as an elder?" Liu Chengen stared at Su Rou blankly with his eyes filled with fear because Su Rou's strength exceeded far beyond his imagination.
"There are things that shouldn't be asked!" Su Rou disdainfully shot Liu Chengen a glance and waved in the air with her hands.
With some bangs and clanks, Chu Feng's iron chains on his hands were cut. With that, Chu Feng also regained his freedom and stably landed on the floor.
Although Chu Feng didn't know why Su Rou came and saved him, he still quickly ran next to her. He knew at this time and instant, only being next to this person would he be in the safest position.
Chu Feng looked at the crack on the ground and couldn't help but inhale a breath of cool air. The entire iron prison was created with the heavy and thick iron. To be able to create a crack with one step on this iron, it showed how unreasonable Su Rou's strength was.
Chu Feng was not too injured and Su Rou also shot a sweet smile at Chu Feng. She grabbed Chu Feng hands and pulled him outside.
Looking closely, Chu Feng discovered that Su Rou was quite pretty. Although Su Mei's face was no worse than Su Rou's, she was still a bit young and she was still a bit "underripe".
But Su Rou was different. She had none of that and her entire body was emitting that mature charm. Even the fragrance of her body was especially enchanting.
"Su Rou, don't pressure me. If you pressure me past a point, no one will benefit from this." Liu Chengen angrily bellowed.
"Oh? If you feel you can, you can go ahead and try. I will accompany you anytime." Su Rou suddenly smiled, but her smile was extremely cold. She didn't speak anymore rubbish to Liu Chengen and walked out the iron prison with Chu Feng.
After Su Rou walked out, Liu Chengen was like a ball that had no air and weakly limped on the ground with a blank expression.
After a while, he bitterly smiled and his old tears started falling. He knew that he was only exaggerating just now because comparing the backgrounds of his Liu family and the Su family, it was really like a small wizard against a great one. Not even worth mentioning.
Today, he could only swallow his unpleasant breath back into his stomach. He was fated to have no more chances because…he did not want his entire family to be exterminated.
Chu Feng was sitting on a stool with one leg over the other as he hiddenly stared at Su Rou's well developed twin peaks and her smooth and round bottom. Looking down the dress and landing on those snow-white, long and beautiful legs, a wave of evil fire couldn't help but be created under his stomach.
"Hehe, this is quite the woman." Chu Feng hiddenly sighed in his heart. The person who could enjoy such a beautiful body would have such rare good luck.
With such a spicy figure, if it was possible to strip naked and reveal her perfect snow-white skin, Chu Feng only need to think about it to feel lucky.
But he could only think because he knew that Su Rou was not a simple person. Not to mention that she was the goddess in the hearts of countless inner court disciples, even core disciples and elders declared their feelings to Su Rou while crazily chasing after her.
But up until today, no one got their hands on her. So, this woman was not a person that would yield and be enjoyed on by normal people.


Are you interested in owning part of a business? If this is the case, then you may be interested in investing in the stock market. Prior to sinking all of your resources into a stock purchase, it is important to gain a solid base of knowledge in advance. You will find the pertinent information in this article.
Before you do anything that involves investing with a broker or trader, make sure you understand what fees you might be liable for. Look for exiting as well as entry fees. These costs can really add up over time.
If you hold common stock, you should be sure to exercise your right to vote. You should review the company's charter, you could have voting rights with respect to making significant changes in the company, or other. Voting happens either through the mail or in an annual shareholders' meeting.
When you choose an equity to invest in, don't allocate more than 10% of your portfolio into that company. This limits your downside risk. If the stock tanks, you will still have some powder left to fight with later. You should never expose yourself too much with any one stock.
It is very essential that you always look over your stock portfolio a few times a year. This is because the economy is changing all the time. Some companies might fold, while others will do well. Depending on timing factors, some financial tools may be a more prudent investment than others. Therefore, you should keep close tabs on your portfolio so that you can adjust it as needed.
If you are new to investing, be wary that making big returns overnight is tough. If you give up on a company's stock to use, you can lose out on a lot of money. Remaining patient is a skill you have to cultivate.
Be aware of the limits of your expertise and do not try to push beyond them. You should stick to investing in companies that you are familiar with, especially if you invest through an online or discount brokerage without much expert advice.

Professional advice is necessary in some cases.
To make your stock portfolio better, create a plan including specific strategies. Be sure to include your specific intentions on when you will buy and when you will sell stocks. You should also have an extremely detailed budget included. Investments shouldn't be treated as gambles. You want to approach investing with a clear head.
Don't over allocate your wealth in your own company's stock. Supporting your company is one thing, but risking you entire financial future by being over-weighted in one stock is another. If you mainly invest in your company's stock and it performs poorly or the company goes under, you would stand to lose a significant portion of your wealth.
Take unsolicited investing advice with a grain of salt. Of course, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVNiIA2BblU you should always listen to the advice of your financial advisor, especially when they are doing well. Ignore the other speculation from other sources.

Some sectors will start to do better than others, and some may become extinct. With some sectors, it is best to invest at specific times of the year.

Know your areas of competence and stay within them. If you are making your own investment decisions, only consider companies that you understand well. Although you may be able to predict the future of any company, you won't always understand companies that make oil rigs. If you want to invest in an industry you are not familiar with, seek the assistance of an adviser.

Do not invest a lot of your money into a company that you are working for. Although owning stock in a business you work for could seem prideful, it's also very risky. If the company runs into financial trouble, you may lose your paycheck along with at least part of the value of your portfolio. However, if you can get discounted shares and work for a good company, this might be an opportunity worth considering.
Do not confuse damaged stocks for damaged companies or vice versa. It is perfectly fine to invest in damaged stocks, but steer clear of damaged companies. If the bad news is something fixable, that can be a great opportunity to jump in at an attractive price. Just be sure the bad news is only temporary. Investor panic, due to an important but repairable problem, can cause a sharp drop in a stock's price. However, companies tainted by accounting scandals might be unable to recover.
Although stocks are a great investment tool, don't lose sight of other investment methods. There are many other options, such as bonds or real estate, which are equally as fun and lucrative. Before investing, take a look at all of your choices, and remember to diversify your holdings to be safe.
Do your research before picking a stock. Just reading about a potentially successful start up can make some investors eager to buy. Unfortunately, it is just as common for a company that has done well in the past to suddenly drop in value.

Many people lack the knowledge necessary to make proper stock market investments. You need to learn as much as you can before you invest about which companies to put your money into, how stocks work and what risk you can tolerate. Remember the tips in this article, so that you can invest today!
The topic of investing has been discussed in countless books, papers, and reports and websites. So much in fact that even if you could take the time necessary to read it all, the ensuing confusion would probably see you knowing less than you do now. So, which investing basics do you need to focus on first? Keep reading to learn more.
Before you invest or entrust any money at all with an investment broker, make sure you take advantage of the free resources that are available to you to clarify their reputation. Taking time now to check out a broker can save you a lot of headache and maybe even significant financial loss in the future.
Always maintain realistic expectations about your investments. Many people know that unless you participate in high risk trading, which has a high chance of failing, you will not have success with the market overnight. Understand this fact in order to prevent yourself from making costly errors with your investing.
If you'd like the maximum cash amount from investing, create an investment plan. For the best results, keep your expectations realistic. Holding stocks for the long-term is a sound approach and generally more profitable than trying to make a quick buck.
Stocks are more than just paper money that you trade for fun. Stock ownership means that you're a part of the company's ownership as well. This grants you rights to company earnings. Voting privileges are sometimes granted by stock ownership.
Maintain diversity in your investment choices. Don't make the mistake of investing in a single company. Investing everything in a single company who ends up unexpectedly going bankrupt will bankrupt you as well.
Never invest too much of your capital fund in one stock. It is unwise to invest more in one place. With lower investment, you will greatly reduce your potential for losses.
Don't go too long without checking up on your portfolio; at a minimum, assess it quarterly. Because the economy is in a state of constant flux, you may need to move your investments around.

Know your areas of competence and stay within them. If you are making investments on your own, like when utilizing an online brokerage, stick to companies you already know about. You may be knowledgeable about a landlord management company you once rented from, but do you really know much about companies that make oil rigs? For companies you know nothing about, you are probably better off just staying away.
When investing in the stock market, make sure you have a itemized plan with specific goals written down so that you can judge your level of investment as time passes. The plan should include strategies about when to buy and when to sell. Budgeting your investments should also be a goal here before you put any money in. This practice will ensure that your decisions are based more on logic than on emotions.
It is not wise to invest large amounts of money in the company you work for. Although owning stock in a business you work for could seem prideful, it's also very risky. If something negative happens to your employer, both the value of your portfolio and your paycheck could be threatened. However, if you can get discounted shares and work for a good company, this might be an opportunity worth considering.

The simple paper you purchase when you invest in stocks are more than just paper. When you own some, you become a member of the collective ownership of that specific company you invested in. You become vested in the earnings and assets that belong to the company. In some instances, you may be able to vote on corporate leadership.
Choose the top stocks in multiple sectors to create a well-balanced portfolio. Though the market, as a whole, records gains in the aggregate, individual sectors will grow at different rates. Positioning yourself across different sectors gives you the ability to take advantage of all they have to offer. Regular re-balancing minimizes your losses you might experience in shrinking sectors while you maintain a position through them for another growth cycle.
Don't try and time the markets. Historically, traders who have invested steadily over time are the ones who enjoy the best results. Figure out how much you can afford to invest on a regular basis. Keep investing within your budget and do not be swayed by losses or big profits.
If you'd like a broker who gives you more flexibility, try one that also lets you trade online as well as in person. This way, you can let the broker handle a part of your portfolio while you work with the rest of it. This allows you the safety net of having two people working towards your goals.

Speaking sticks and moving targets
New works by Shane Cotton
The Hanging Sky brings together Shane Cotton's skyscapes from the past five years. But the core of the exhibition is a big group of freshly made works of art. Senior curator Justin Paton first saw them in completed form during the show's installation in Brisbane. Here he describes his encounters with a body of work 'at once beautiful, aggressive, protective and evasive.'
It's day two of the Shane Cotton install at the Institute of Modern Art in Brisbane, and all through the day big paintings by Cotton have been emerging from their crates and finding their places around the walls. There in the first room is Christchurch Art Gallery's Takarangi, with its birds whooshing out into deep space, then the brooding The Hanging Sky next door and The Painted Bird in the room after that—paintings from different moments that are coming together in one gallery for the first time here. After months of rearranging tiny paper versions of the paintings inside a 1:25 scale gallery model, this is the moment I always look forward to—when the real things arrive in the room, assert themselves physically and start making demands of their own.
What's distracting me at the moment, however, is a table in the quietest gallery, where the conservator, Rebecca, is slowly unpacking a box literally full of surprises: ten painted baseball bats that Cotton completed in New Zealand only days ago. One by one they're withdrawn from their sleeves and laid out for inspection and cataloguing: the Hit Marker, the Myth Smasher, and the Paradise Club. Cotton, it ought to be noted here, is a card-carrying baseball fan, with a painter's special affection for the geometry and visual trappings of the game. And he's clearly had a lot of fun devising a livery or look for each bat. With their airbrushed titles and custom paint-jobs, they look a little like high-end collectibles—the kind of muscled-up artefacts that a baseball obsessive might display in a cabinet in their lounge. But a longer inspection discloses details that push these objects somewhere far beyond fandom. Tipping a bat in her gloved hand and running a torch down its surface, Rebecca illuminates skulls, strange rocks, tattooed Māori heads (of which more later) and the name of a renowned Ngā Puhi chief. Strangest of all, when you've just walked past Cotton's big skyscapes, are the painted birds stretched along the bats—as though someone has reached into Cotton's paintings and begun swiping birds from the skies. The results may be gorgeous, but you have to wonder: whose side are these objects on?

Cotton is by no means the only contemporary artist to conflate sporting conflicts with broader cultural ones. He's one of a number who like to tamper creatively with stuff lifted from the sports store or Physical Education shed. In a world where marketeers seek to ramp up our enthusiasm for sports teams by likening them to warrior tribes, these artists trick out mass-produced sports gear with uncomfortable reminders of real-world struggles. Local artist Wayne Youle has also done baseball bats in works like The Old Man's Walking Stick (2006), which evokes the clubs used by gangland leaders as well as the tokotoko used to arresting effect during oratory by senior Māori men. Rangituhia Hollis and Vaimaila Urale recently incised pool cues with Pacific patterns that made them look like sharp-tipped weapons (Mata Mata, 2012). And Francis Upritchard has given several kinds of sports gear memorably funny and feeble 'tribal art' makeovers, turning eight hockey sticks, for instance, into ceremonial staffs or spirit sticks (Jealous Saboteurs, 2005). In their different ways all these artists have their say in a long-running New Zealand debate about culture, property and power—a debate that has simmered or boiled through the last twenty years and shows no signs of cooling. What should a traditional object look like? Who has the right to make one? Who has the right to tell others they can't? And are these questions of life-and-death significance, or is it all just a game?
In 2011, the same year that Cotton painted his first baseball bats, the Waitangi Tribunal released its long-anticipated report on Wai 262, the complicated claim designed to protect Māori artistic and cultural works against 'offensive or derogatory uses'. Faced with the bizarre spectacle of Italian actresses performing a garbled haka in a 2006 television advertisement for the car manufacturer Fiat, it's not hard to see why Māori might want to protect precious songs, stories and visual forms from commercialisation without consent. But this kind of cultural protectionism meshes imperfectly, to say the least, with the practices of contemporary art, where artists frequently push and probe towards the edge of what's considered acceptable. And it is this uncertain edge—this foul zone—where Cotton makes himself at home with the bats. Serpent Garden, for instance, despite being a bat, is a remarkably traditional-looking Māori artwork, webbed in white lines that mimic the play of light along the surface of a carved weapon; it's no great stretch to imagine this object in a museum case alongside some spot-lit ancient patu or taiaha. But the same can't be said for the harshly named Coloured Head Crusher, which seems to wear, along its multicoloured length, the mortal emblems of past 'hits' or 'strikes'—Cotton's version, perhaps, of the bat wielded by the Nazi-killing 'Bear Jew' Donny Donowitz in Quentin Tarantino's lurid war film Inglourious Basterds. Far from being content to sit quietly in a museum case, this is an object that seems to want to stir up trouble—to knock out the glass that keeps history at a distance and release all its conflicts and contradictions.

It is this live quality, above all, that makes the baseball bat paintings feel like something new for Cotton. Seeing them later that day in their proper positions, suspended by the handles in one long row, I couldn't help but respond to their decorative richness—particularly the pin-fine rings of colour that Cotton applies while turning the bats in a lathe. But alongside the richness there remains the suggestion that these objects have a purpose; that they are made, not to be appreciated at a distance, but picked up and somehow put to use. Naturally, we museum professionals would prefer it if you didn't touch, but the desire to grasp these artworks—to hold and heft them—is central to their effect. And it's surprising what happens to both the bat and its wielder when someone does pick one up. Suddenly that person has the floor; when they speak, you listen. I'm reminded here of things I've heard about Native American 'talking sticks', objects that have to be held by someone before they assume their full power. More than ever in Cotton's art, he seems to be inviting that kind of imagined participation, putting responsibility for how these uneasy objects are used emphatically in our hands. Imagine the guards aren't looking and you lift one from its hanger. Now what are you going to say?

This crackle of uncertainty also flows through Cotton's second large group of new works, the series of untitled prints (photo-etchings plus aquatint) that he made in 2009 during a two-week stint at the Gottesman Etching Center in Israel. The prints all feature concentric circles, a classic motif of modern art, and when I first glimpsed them, pinned to the far wall of Cotton's big studio, comparisons jumped immediately to mind: Kenneth Noland's swirling circles, Jasper Johns's targets, and Julian Dashper's drum-skin abstracts (one of which hangs in Cotton's home). Where Cotton's prints declared their difference was in the distinctive softness of their colour, a granular, time-and-weatherworn quality that was only apparent when one got close to the paper. There were overcast greys, sun-faded reds, pale yellows suggesting sand or clay. My favourite encounter during this viewing was with the work now called Untitled (Head 1), where a thin ring of yellow affects the blueness all around it like a chime very lightly struck. Little wonder that Cotton was taking his time before making painted marks on these surfaces. As well as being beautiful, each print was unique; there was no going back in the event of a mistake.
Three years later, here at the Institute of Modern Art, all that chromatic subtlety is still present. But it's been interrupted—at once heightened and troubled—by some painted embellishments. Working very sparingly in thinned acrylic over the aquatint inks, Cotton has populated each of his pristine abstracts with a vivid human fragment—one of the severed and tattooed Māori heads, known today as toi moko, that have been present in Cotton's paintings for a decade. With their extraordinarily tangled back-stories (first chiefly treasures and power objects, later grisly currency in the curio trade), these heads are some of the most volatile cultural images that an artist can reach for in New Zealand. And their first appearances in Cotton's paintings in the mid-2000s had the shocking force of a haunting, the faces looming out of blue-black nightscapes like zombie survivors of history—teeth bared, hair blown back, tattoos aglow in their faces. At first sight the new heads don't have that kind of urgency, because Cotton has partially blocked our view of each one with a bar or blot of paint. But the cumulative effect of the works is, if anything, more ominous. Placed inside cool white frames and arrayed regimentally on the wall, what the painted prints suggest irresistibly is a shooting range and its targets. Suddenly we're looking, not at meditative abstracts, but at icons of aggression. And suddenly the act of looking is charged with sinister implications. Those dots and strips of colour may be formalist devices, the kind of thing commonly used by abstract painters to 'tune' a larger field of paint. But they also evoke the terrible abstraction of a telescopic rifle sight: the fine tweaking of crosshairs and range-finding dots as the hunter takes aim at a distant target.
The longer you contemplate these cool and judicious images, the more heated and unstable they seem. Everything in them is carefully calibrated to scramble a clear sense of visual allegiance. It occurs to me, as it has to many observers, that the targets also resemble airforce roundels—the coloured abstract circles containing national symbols that are painted on the side of fighter planes, so that gun-crews on the same 'team' refrain from shooting them down (New Zealand's roundel features a kiwi, for instance, while Australia's features a kangaroo). But what does it mean to emblazon a roundel with a severed head rather than the national animal? Is Cotton proposing that the heads should serve as new national identifiers—true symbols of New Zealand history at its most bitter and tangled? And what, moreover, are we to make of the discovery that the colours in the background are not neutral at all, having been extracted by Cotton from the Israeli, Palestinian and Māori flags and the local landscape? Is mingling those colours the artist's way of noting the bizarre arbitrariness of national boundaries? Or is he rather creating a series of protective roundels for history's many forgotten faces—the Māori heads with their abstract 'blindfolds' now standing in for a larger category of victims? Do those victims all belong, as the gang-patch work Hiruhārama seems to be suggesting, to a gang sardonically called 'The Chosen People'? Or alternatively might Cotton be suggesting that these questions are all a bit too serious, given that whoever is taking aim at these targets appears to be using a paintgun rather than a real one? What we have here, I contend, are political artworks, but of an unusually muted and elusive kind. Political not because they declare one position but because they occupy several positions simultaneously. At once beautiful, aggressive, protective and evasive, they are indeed moving targets.

The danger with even a partial survey show like Cotton's is that it will summarise things all too well, leaving viewers feeling that they know exactly who the artist is and where he's coming from. But Cotton's new works—the bats, the targets— seem custom-made to knock such certainties out of the gallery. His biggest hit (so to speak) in this new mode is the painting reproduced below, a vast target on which he's floated a peculiar collection of images: a sparrow, a billiard ball, a skull, another head, a slice of sky with an abstract moon in it.
One can start by looking for family ties amongst these objects, focusing, perhaps, on the vanitas qualities of the skull, bird and head—each one associated in some way with the brevity and fragility of life. But the visual effect of the painting works fiercely against this connect-the-dots approach. Painted with great surety in a palette of pinks, greys and clarion blues, the target seems to sit right up on the painting's surface; it doesn't recede or open up atmospherically. So when Cotton drops modelled forms in front of it, they pop out from the flatness aggressively—like separate sounds bouncing into the room off the visual equivalent of a kick-drum.

Looking longer, what starts to build is an insistent staring quality: all those heads, dots, balls and circles eyeballing you individually; and then, pressed up behind them, the massive 'eye' of the target itself. What's Cotton up to? I think there's an answer right there on the canvas, where two words spell out the title—Head #!?$. As in, 'head-fuck'. As in, something custom-designed to unsettle our sense of the order of things. The word 'unsettle' is crucial. For much of his career Cotton has been known as an artist preoccupied by place: one who grounded Māori stories and imagery afresh in the tradition of New Zealand landscape. But if the new works in The Hanging Sky are any measure, what Cotton wants today is to un-ground his images: to cast them out into a strange open space where we can observe them without rushing into judgement.

Back on 20 September 2011, when our public programmes team began setting up the Hagley Park Geo Dome for a talk with Shane Cotton, they put out about sixty chairs and would have been glad to fill them. After all, it was a cold night in Christchurch, the roads were rough, the Geo Dome was off the beaten track and the quake had long since broken the rhythm of the Gallery's old Wednesday night programme of public talks.

The 2018-2019 academic year at ENSTA Bretagne has seen record enrollment levels, the introduction of two new programs, top-quality applications, active international partnerships, high-level courses and two additional buildings.
For more than 50 years, ENSTA Bretagne has been providing post-preparatory school general engineers with the skills they need for high-tech civilian or military careers in numerous sectors.
In response to the strong demand for engineers and Master's graduates with backgrounds in the school's areas of expertise, we have launched various programs over the past 15 years to train high-performing students from other educational backgrounds, such as 2-year polytechnic school or university graduates. The school plans to continue its growth in this direction.
(855 degree/Master's students and 105 PhD students) began their school year at ENSTA Bretagne in the fall of 2018.
This program responds to a strong demand from employers and has been certified by the Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique cluster. The Advanced Master in Maritime Project Management trains future project managers to lead, coordinate and assess international maritime projects.
Pascal Piriou, CEO of the PIRIOU Group and program sponsor, attended the inauguration on Monday September 17 along with the 8 Master's students and 8 students from Sciences Po Rennes' Terre et Mer program. These partnered Master's program classes are collaborating on a supervised applied maritime design project that they will complete before embarking on their end-of-course internships.
Following on from the launch of Naval Group's 12-submarine construction project in Australia, this program is jointly managed by the University of Adelaide. With the goal of developing naval industry skills in both countries, it trains experts in surface ship and submarine defense systems. After an initial semester of study at ENSTA Bretagne in Brest, the 10 students (5 French and 5 Australian) will continue their training in Australia at the University of Adelaide from February to July 2019. The Master's will wrap up with an end-of-course internship from August 2019 to January 2020.
ENSTA Bretagne's co-op engineering, Master's and Advanced Master's programs receive an impressive number of outstanding applications. The high quality of candidates for programs ranging from mechanical science to digital technology allows us to better respond to the expectations of high-tech firms in all sectors.
88 agreements across 31 countries help to attract international students to our school and to open doors abroad for our students. Some ENSTA Bretagne students will attend Imperial College London this year, while others are enrolled at polytechnic institutes in Milan and Montreal. Still others will begin studying at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, while here in Brest we're hosting degree and postgraduate students from 18 countries: Australia, New Zealand, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Congo.
50% of ENSTA Bretagne's programs and research is focused on marine science and technology, contributing greatly to our international profile in the fields of naval architecture, marine renewable energies, hydrography and oceanography, marine and underwater observation systems and robotics.
ENSTA Bretagne is an active participant in the ISblue project. This new interdisciplinary graduate school for the Blue Planet is jointly managed by 9 Breton schools and their 15 research units and aims to increase the international visibility of their programs and research.
We are also proud to have won, for the second time, the World Robotic Sailing Championship, which took place in late August off the UK coast near Southampton. This year, the school's multiple-award-winning robotics team will collaborate with the hydrography and oceanography department in their third joint open-air laboratory at Lake Guerlédan. In October and February, hydrographers and robotics majors will test the seabed mapping and observation systems of the future with the support of national and international partners.
ENSTA Bretagne's facilities keep pace with our growing student body, and on our 17-acre campus, extension projects take place every 5 years or so. The most recent of these projects comprises 3 building sites and provides almost 2,000 m² of extra space, representing an 8.5% increase in the school's floor area.
The teaching facility addition was completed in September 2018 and provides an extra 375m² of space divided into 8 classrooms: six 24 to 40-seat rooms for supervised independent study and two 60-seat tiered classrooms, all of which are computerized.
Construction is ongoing at the research center, where a 1,600m² structure housing new mechanical science experimental facilities will be inaugurated in early 2019. ENSTA Bretagne contributes to the IRDL research on pyrotechnics and durability in the marine environment that will be conducted in this new building. Our main interest is in systems' (especially naval systems) durability and environmental interactions, and we model the behavior of composite materials and structures in order to predict their performance. IRDL maintains a close relationship with the private sector: among Breton labs, it has the highest percentage of theses financed by businesses.
Also in 2019, a section of the IT building (Lab-STICC) will be renovated and updated to accommodate cutting-edge experimental facilities for cybersecurity and robotics.
The reorganization's main objectives were to arrange the 3-year schedule to allow for longer international internships, and to provide students with more time for school and extracurricular projects by reducing the number of classroom hours.
Certain programs saw additions to their curricula: cybersecurity (general engineering program and a Master's), data processing using artificial intelligence (general engineering program) and robotics (an additional Master's program).
The school also worked with students to establish a framework for rewarding involvement in extracurricular activities.
We intend to continue to accommodate growing student numbers with the expansion of campus facilities, and to accompany the growth of the ENSTARTUPS incubator. We are also working on numerous joint actions with our key partner IMT Atlantique, and will begin presenting our common initiatives to preparatory-class students this autumn.

Dairy or parve?
Rabbinate introduces 'bourekas reform'
Under new kosher procedures, bakeries must maintain fixed shape for each type of pastry as condition for receiving kashrut certificate. Parve filo dough product must be shaped as triangle, while dairy croissant should be crescent-shaped
Kobi Nachshoni |Published: 06.13.13 , 13:23
After the marriage registration reform , here comes the "bourekas revolution": The Chief Rabbinate of Israel has issued new kosher procedures, obliging manufacturers of one of the country's most popular pastries to design them in uniform and fixed shapes to prevent confusion between dairy and parve (neither meat nor milk) products.
From now on, each pastry will have to be made in the shape determined by the type of dough and ingredients of its stuffing, as a basic condition for receiving a kashrut certificate.
Rabbinate: Palestinian Coke not kosher
Itzchak Tessler
Chief Rabbinate warns Israeli public against Coca-Cola manufactured without supervision in PA. Businesses asked to avoid selling beverage 'so as not to get public used to purchasing products without kosher mark'
The move's initiators were concerned that kashrut observers, who wait several hours between eating meat and dairy products, will "fail" by eating pastries containing cheese just because they were mistakenly assumed to be parve due to their shape.
Under the new procedures, a parve pastry made of filo dough will be shaped as a closed triangle or spiral, while a dairy pastry will be circular or shaped like a "large finger." Parve croissants or rugelach, on the other hand, will be baked as straight rectangle, while the dairy ones will be crescent-shaped.
The new rules are an expansion of the existing, relatively limited procedure, which states that dairy bourekas should be baked as a triangle and parve bourekas must be square-shaped.

Officials at the Rabbinate's Kashrut Department explained that bourekas was a special product kosher-wise, as it is marketed without a separate packaging for each item and is often served at events without any kosher mark so that kashrut observers have no way of knowing whether it is parve or dairy. Thus, the pastry's shape is the only reasonable means for recognizing the product's classification.
"In recent years, there has been a lot of creativity in the area of pastries and the variety of flavors and fillings has increased – as has the variety of shapes, leading to multiple failures," a Rabbinate official said.
"Several months ago, we began working on the procedures in a dialogue with owners of the large bakeries about the different production possibilities. The procedure eventually accepted fits the technological conditions existing in the industry today and is accepted by most major manufacturers."
The Rabbinate's Kashrut Department first convened to plan "Operation Bourekas" about half a year ago. Rabbi Hagai Bar Giora of the Kashrut Department said at the time that he had recently received a complaint from people vacationing in a hotel in northern Israel, who ate a cheese bourekas shortly after eating meat as they mistakenly assumed that it was parve due to its shape.
Rabbi Bar Giora noted that this was not just a halachic-religious matter but posed a health risk as well, as people allergic to dairy products might accidentally eat a cheese bourekas.
