Water (chemical formula: H2O) is a transparent fluid which forms the world's streams, lakes, oceans and rain, and is the major constituent of the fluids of organisms. As a chemical compound, a water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure, but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state, ice; and gaseous state, steam (water vapor). It also exists as snow, fog, dew and cloud.
Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface. It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth, 96.5% of the planet's crust water is found in seas and oceans, 1.7% in groundwater, 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland, a small fraction in other large water bodies, and 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of ice and liquid water suspended in air), and precipitation. Only 2.5% of this water is freshwater, and 98.8% of that water is in ice (excepting ice in clouds) and groundwater. Less than 0.3% of all freshwater is in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere, and an even smaller amount of the Earth's freshwater (0.003%) is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products. A greater quantity of water is found in the earth's interior.

"Water" (Bulgarian script: Вода) was the Bulgarian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, performed in Bulgarian by Elitsa Todorova & Stoyan Yankoulov. This was the first occasion on which the Bulgarian language was used on the Eurovision stage, previous Bulgarian entries being performed in English. Originally titled "Voda", the song had its title translated to English for the Contest.
The song is an up-tempo number with techno influences, as well as a jaw harp and traditional percussion. Todorova sings folk-inspired lyrics dealing with a young girl meeting a young boy riding a horse.
The performance in the semi-final featured the duo wearing what looked like armour, while they were wearing more mainstream clothes in the final. The performances were also notable for the high-energy percussion performances of both musicians.
As Bulgaria had not finished the previous Contest in the top ten, the song was performed in the semi-final. Here, it was performed first (preceding Israel's Teapacks with "Push The Button"). At the close of voting, it had received 146 points, placing 6th in a field of 28 and qualifying Bulgaria for its first final.

A 'tanker (or tank ship or tankship) is a merchant vessel designed to transport liquids or gases in bulk. Major types of tankship include the oil tanker, the chemical tanker, and gas carrier. In the United States Navy and Military Sealift Command, any type of tanker used to refuel other ships is called an oiler
Tankers can range in size of capacity from several hundred tons, which includes vessels for servicing small harbours and coastal settlements, to several hundred thousand tons, for long-range haulage. Besides ocean- or seagoing tankers there are also specialized inland-waterway tankers which operate on rivers and canals with an average cargo capacity up to some thousand tons. A wide range of products are carried by tankers, including:
hydrocarbon products such as oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and liquefied natural gas (LNG)
chemicals, such as ammonia, chlorine, and styrene monomer
Tankers are a relatively new concept, dating from the later years of the 19th century. Before this, technology had simply not supported the idea of carrying bulk liquids. The market was also not geared towards transporting or selling cargo in bulk, therefore most ships carried a wide range of different products in different holds and traded outside fixed routes. Liquids were usually loaded in casks—hence the term "tonnage", which refers to the volume of the holds in terms of how many tuns or casks of wine could be carried. Even potable water, vital for the survival of the crew, was stowed in casks. Carrying bulk liquids in earlier ships posed several problems:

The DC-10 Air Tanker is a series of American wide-body jet air tankers, which have been in service as an aerial firefighting unit since 2006. The aircraft, operated by the joint technical venture 10 Tanker Air Carrier, are converted McDonnell Douglas DC-10s, and are primarily used to fight wildfires, typically in rural areas. The turbofan-powered aircraft carry up to 12,000 US gallons (45,000 liters) of water or fire retardant in an exterior belly-mounted tank, the contents of which can be released in eight seconds. Three air tankers are currently in operation, with the call-signs Tanker 910, Tanker 911 and Tanker 912.
10 Tanker began researching the development of Next Generation airtankers in 2002. Company personnel were assembled with an extensive history of heavy jet operations, modifications and ownership. After two years of research into aerial firefighting requirements and future direction, 10 Tanker selected the DC10 type for development. A Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) from the FAA for modifications of DC10 aircraft to be used for the aerial dispersant of liquids was issued in March 2006. 10 Tanker then obtained a 14 CFR Part 137 Operating Certificate for aerial firefighting and IAB approval for agency use. The first converted aircraft, registered as N450AX, was originally delivered as a civil passenger plane to National Airlines in 1975, and subsequently flew for Pan Am, American Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Omni Air International.

The Department of Commerce's DAVA (Drug Authentication and Verification Application) project has won the 2015 eASIA Award under Trade Facilitation category as announced by Asia Pacific Council for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (AFACT) in Tehran, Iran.
The Commerce Secretary Ms. Rita Teaotia, expressed her happiness and congratulated officers and staff on winning 2015 eASIA Award. This award is administered by AFACT. This project is a significant step in this direction and will contribute considerably in enhancing the brand image of our pharmaceutical exporters.
DAVA project launched on June 29, 2015 created an integrated platform for implementation of the Track and Trace system both for exports and domestic markets of Drugs and Pharmaceuticals. It is in the pilot stage and will be subsequently made mandatory for all pharmaceutical exports from India.
The DAVA project is an initiative of Government of India which aims to cover all the drugs manufactured in India. Indian Pharmaceutical industry has approximately 250 large units and more than 8,000 small and medium scale units.
The project will provide simpler means to the consumer and regulatory agencies for establishing drug authentication and protect the India's Brand image in international trade.
When fully implemented, the export of fake or spurious drug from the country, will not be possible and in case it happens it would be easily traceable. The application has value-added features like availability of stocks for a drug in an area/wholesalers/retailers at a point of time; whenever required, drugs can easily be identified and recalled due to traceability of stocks, prevention of black marketing which especially arises during epidemics.


How do you catch someone's eye in three to 12 seconds? That's the issue for artists preparing political work for display on billboards -- roadside and otherwise -- and hoping to arrest the attention of viewers hurrying past with other things on their minds.
Although billboards have long served as venues for art -- from the Guerrilla Girls' feminist broadsides to Youth Art Month celebrations by Midwestern schoolchildren -- the election year and polarized political climate have sparked new activity.
This season sees two political art projects that are studies in contrast: The first is a series of works on Wilshire Boulevard that does not look radically different from what you might see a few stories below at the Acme Gallery. The second is a more plain-spoken billboard in New York's Times Square, sponsored by a Berkeley group. And unlike a lot of art projects aimed at the public -- and often sponsored by arts councils in the name of "beautification" -- these are funded largely by private, even corporate, money. The efforts show the field's possibilities and challenges.
"I'm not into shock value," says Susan Silton, whose work was selected for Public Speaking, a new series of political-art pieces looming, on alternating months, above Wilshire. "I'm interested in choosing images that have many meanings."
Silton doesn't want to confound cruising viewers, but she isn't after a didactic, one-sided slogan, either. "It's a complex image," she says of her photograph of a fumigated house draped in a red, white and blue sheet, with the word "Sold" printed next to it. "But if you think about it a little bit, it's readable."
Similarly, series organizer Julia Meltzer says she's interested in "images that open up the space for thinking, not shut it down." The other pieces, which will go up in October and December, strive for the same depth and ambiguity that animate much contemporary art.
It's not the only way to go, though. Deborah Rappaport, a board member of Berkeley's new Project Billboard, is less interested in layered meaning or aesthetic contemplation. She wants art that's effective, even if it resembles an ad. The art on her billboards, which she hopes to post across the country "as fast as we can raise the money," must serve the billboard's left-of-center message.
"Just like a shoe company couldn't sell shoes if it didn't have good graphics," she says. "People wouldn't pay attention."
Project Billboard's inaugural effort, which was to go up in Times Square in time for the Republican National Convention, attracted so much attention, in fact, that it almost didn't happen. The billboard was to show a ticking bomb in red, white and blue, accompanied by the phrase "Democracy is best taught by example, not by war."
Clear Channel Communications, the owner of the billboard, objected and blocked the image. Project Billboard filed a breach-of-contract suit and, in a settlement, the bomb was replaced with a similarly attired dove. The new image went up, and an electronic ticker marking the monetary cost of the Iraq war is to be added in time for the convention.
Why the billboard? Artists and organizers say it has become one of the last feasible spaces for political art.
And alternative, nonprofit venues that traditionally offered political work -- spaces like Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions -- now have less presence than they did a decade or more ago, she says. "So there's a type of art that's disappearing as well -- art that's not commercial or gallery driven."
Things are especially grim in California, Meltzer says, where state arts funding ranks, per capita, last in the nation.
But the problem exists across the country, says Anne Pasternak, president and artistic director of Creative Time, a New York group that puts temporary works of art, including billboards, in public spaces, largely with private funds. The need for private funding from corporations and individuals has made it harder for edgy, political efforts to find a viewing in more traditional spaces, she says.
Even museums can be a hard sell. Boards of directors, Pasternak says, are often somewhat conservative and have more power than in the past, creating new limitations on what can be shown. Artists, she says, in an effort to fit into a more market-driven world, are producing less overtly political work than they did in the '80s, when debates over racism and AIDS energized the New York art world.
"These are important times as well," she says, "as we see our civil liberties eroded and stay involved in a war with a dubious motivation.
"But it's amazing to me that I don't see artists making political proposals. I see artists donating works and contributing money for progressive candidates, but I still don't see much art being made about the world we live in."
Neither has the movement for art in public spaces brought more political work into the public eye.
"I see a lot of art watered down by corporate concerns before it can reach a public space," says Silton. "It's like artists are exploited for 'percent for art,' " requirements in many cities, including Los Angeles, that mandate that a percentage of certain new-construction budgets go to arts projects.
Although a billboard can reach an audience that dwarfs that of museums -- the Wilshire billboard gets about 32,600 potential viewers a day -- it takes a certain kind of image to stand out in a cluttered, commercial background.
"It's a pretty strange space to work in," says Meltzer, who first secured the Wilshire space, then asked for proposals from two dozen artists and finally reviewed the proposals with her board before selecting four. "It's a strange shape. And you have to be able to see it and make sense of it in a matter of seconds."
"The most successful pieces of public art have the ability to communicate across class lines," says Tom Finkelpearl, author of the book "Dialogues in Public Art" and executive director of the Queens Museum of Art. "The words 'public' and 'art' have different class connotations."
The phrases "public restrooms, public transportation, public school" suggest working-class or lower-middle-class settings, he says. "And every survey about who consumes art shows that it's a very upper-middle-class pursuit."
Each city offers its own challenges. Unlike those in Southern California, New York billboards typically are seen by people walking past rather than whipping by on the freeway. But the city has become much more visually cluttered in the last decade, says Creative Time's Pasternak.
"Artists love to work with billboards, but it's hard to make them work," she says, adding that she has implemented only two billboard projects in a decade despite numerous proposals. "Our buildings have been wrapped in signs that speak to us as consumers and not as citizens. We've learned to tune out a lot of visual information; it's very hard for an artist to break through that."
Sometimes boldness, as with the simple electronic signs of Jenny Holzer (who employed cryptic phrases like "Protect me from what I want"), is most effective. But one-liners can grow stale on repeated viewings.
Other works turn on existing images. Last year, a billboard at Hollywood and Sunset boulevards attracted interest for its reproduction of Picasso's "Guernica," refashioned by the collective Making Art Work in reference to the Iraq war. Further out, the Billboard Liberation Front defaces Bay Area signs to undo or invert their commercial message.
But more serene work can be at least as effective. Many artists who work with billboards revere Felix Gonzalez-Torres, the late New York artist who created lyrical billboards of images inspired by the death of his lover from AIDS -- a photograph of an empty double bed, another of a tiny bird flying against a gray, cloudy sky.
It's hard to say whether Clockshop will spark a rash of corporation-funded -- left-leaning or otherwise -- billboard art all over the city.
The Wilshire billboard came out of a specific arrangement in which the landlord, who happens to be Meltzer's uncle, persuaded Viacom to make an unusual concession.
Project Billboard's Rappaport calls the medium "a reasonably cost-effective way to reach people with a simple message," explaining that the cost is far less than advertising in a newspaper, magazine or on television.
But whether it's the wave of the future or a throwback, billboard art is part of a long tradition.
Finkelpearl points out that it's art in museums and galleries that marks the historical aberration. "In the great stretch of the last thousands of years, since the pyramids," he says, "it's mostly been commissions and it's mostly been public art. What did Michelangelo do if not public art?"

Shock as man beheads wife, walks into police station carrying his wife's head (SEE PICS)
Skhumba Hlongwane
WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: A stunned policemen filmed on his phone while another shouted at the man to put the head back in the bin bag.
A man who hacked the head off his own wife after accusing her of cheating carried it into a police station and confessed to her murder.
Satish pulled the severed and bloody head from a bin bag and waved it by his hair as disgusted officers shouted at him to put it back away.
Branding a machete the 35-year-old stood in the police station while a stunned officer filmed on his mobile phone.
He puts wife Roopa's head away, before pulling it out again closer to the camera, showing the woman's features and dark hair.
The man had entered the police station, in the town of Ajjampura in southern India.
He said: "This is my wife, sir.
"I gave her all the love I could."
Satish replaces the head in the bag before telling cops that his wife was cheating on him and he had lost his temper after see her with another man.
He continues to complain that Roopa had chosen his rival, named as Sunil, over him despite the fact the man was a manual worker with a criminal record.
Satish told cops that Roopa had even taken out a loan for 300,000 INR – about £3,170 – and given the money to her lover.
Cops had to calm Satish down so they could begin taking his statement and launch a formal murder investigation.
Inspector Ramachandra Nayak said Satish had been remanded in police custody after showing officers where he had left the rest of his wife's body.
Supt Annamalai said: "Generally, in the Ajjampura area, whoever commits murder surrenders to the police but for someone to walk in and place a head on the sub-inspector's table was something new for us."

Jeong Do-Hyeon, CEO Of Raphas – A World Class Life Sciences Company Pioneering In Microneedle Technology
by AsiaTechDaily Writer
in Featured, Fundraising, Interviews
Jeong Do-Hyeon is the CEO of Raphas, a global bio company unique with microneedle technology, runs from lab to IPO and operates an accelerator program named '10X' Startup-X.
The corporate name, Raphas, is a compound of two words: Rapha(healing) + Path (passage). It is a KOSDAQ listed company (listed in November 2019), which possesses the world's no.1 innovative technology, commercialization ability, and drug development ability.
DEN (Droplet Extension) technology, innovative for its transdermal drug delivery technology based on microneedles, is going through a successful R&D strategy to commercialize the technology into a form mass-produced for cosmetics, medical devices, and medical supplies.
Starting from March 2021, Raphas plans to support startups through an accelerator/open innovation program called '10X'. With Startup-X (CEO Seri Sheen), to contribute to the startup ecosystem experienced founder.
In an exclusive interview with AsiaTechDaily, Jeong Do-Hyeon says:
The most memorable piece of advice was a slightly modified version of a Korean proverb, 'Even if the sky falls, there are holes to rise (Every cloud has a silver lining),' which the advice was that the sky would never fall. This advice gave me confidence and changed my mindset that I can overcome any difficulties that I may face when managing and operating a company. So, I would like to advise people to have a positive mindset at all times, overcoming difficulties wisely.
Do your best to make each day meaningful and rewarding
You are the only one that exists in this whole universe. Love yourself and believe in your power
Plan out your life by thinking about the reason and meaning behind why you exist
Read on to know more about Jeong Do-Hyeon and his journey.
Please tell me about your personal background and What motivated you to get started with your company?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: I started my career as a researcher at a pharmaceutical company after receiving a doctorate in biotechnology. Since graduate school, I have had a lot of interest in commercializing technology into a business, so I always dreamed of starting a business myself. Going through some work experience at a bio-venture company as a researcher, then as a team manager, I gained a better understanding of venture business, jumping in to start a business of my own, co-founding Raphas in 2006.
The Department of Biotechnology initially developed the 'dissolving microstructure' technology at Yonsei University, where Raphas had the technology transferred in 2009. While searching for a method where everyone can live a healthy and happy life without pain, the idea of microstructure came into mind from biotechnology and nanotechnology. Semiconductor technology, which is microneedle technology, was grafted onto it, completing the development of mass production technology. After more than 4 years of research, the world's first new drug delivery system was developed by Raphas, successfully commercializing and launching its product.
What is your current main product, and can you share any previous product pivot story to the current product?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: Currently, Raphas' main product is a product that is applied to dissolve microneedle patch technology to cosmetics. Raphas owns a patent to manufacture microneedles, a technology selected as the most promising technology in 2020 that penetrates active ingredients or drugs percutaneously using a dissolving DEN method. DEN technology is a manufacturing method that enables the mounting of droplets mixed with dissolving polymer and drugs upon patches and extension to a desirable length. The simple manufacturing process compared to the traditional molding method allowed mass-production possible and reduced the risk of medical deterioration caused by the heating process. This patent technology was first applied in the cosmetics industries and earned success in commercialization.
In Korea, Raphas sells patches with active ingredients through a beauty brand, which are effective for skin trouble, blemish/pigmentation, and wrinkles. It was sold at overseas markets before it started selling in Korea. Starting in Japan, microneedle patches are currently being sold at 20 major global beauty brands across the world in ODM format, in which 80% of sales come from global ODM exports.
By expanding the mass production and efficacy recognized in cosmetics to medical devices and drugs, we are currently conducting clinical trials for loading various vaccines and medical drugs. Ultimately, Raphas aims to contribute to human health by replacing syringes and conveniently delivering drug substances through microneedle patches.
How much money have you raised in total so far? When was the recent funding round?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: After founding the company, we received a total investment of about 50 billion won, and the final funding was public offering funding through an IPO in November 2019. IPO was the most appropriate choice for us because stable financing is especially important for bio-industry, which requires long-term research and essential clinical trials.
What were the internal decision processes in determining when to begin fundraising, and what were the logistics for this? And how many investors have you met so far, and how did you meet these investors, and which channels worked best for you?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: So far, I have met a total of 20 VCs through public IR events and private networking through connections. In particular, I met with venture capitalists who are interested in the field of technology and future industry, sharing information about the effectiveness, authenticity, and value of Raphas' technology. As a result, we successfully earned investment funds from technology investment-oriented venture capitals such as KDB capital, LNS Venture Capital, and Neoflux.
What are the biggest challenges and obstacles that you have faced in the process of fundraising? If you had to start over, what would you do differently?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: Explaining to investors and customers how microneedle technology could be commercialized was extremely difficult, just based on theory alone. Therefore, proving it through creating a product with the technology was essential, which was very challenging. We had to attract investments to build a factory and make microneedle patches to convince and show how this technology could be commercialized.
Even if I had to start over, I think I would have done it the same way. But the steps would probably be much faster and effective. Although there were various difficulties, Raphas has made many efforts to prove to both investors and customers the excellence of technology through microneedle technology. This process to convince them will not change even if I start over again.
What are your milestones for the next round? And what are your goals for the future?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: Until now, Raphas' core technology has shown that it can be mass-produced and has succeeded in commercializing in the cosmetic industry. The next goal is to succeed in commercializing it in the pharmaceutical field. Ultimately, I would like to contribute to countries and regions around the world by applying this technology to vaccines and overcome storage and distribution difficulties.
Also, I would like to help venture entrepreneurs who want to start a business with technology. To do so, I am planning to run an accelerator/open innovation program with Startup-X. We greatly hope to create a constructive steppingstone with rising startups. I have always dreamed of helping startups one day, and I can finally put it into action thanks to this great opportunity.
What is the characteristic of the accelerator/open innovation program that is co-operated with Startup-X?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: Raphas, the world's leading microneedle technology company started in research labs, along with Startup-X, a global impact accelerator founded by a re-founder, are confident that we know more than anyone else about the pains and needs of startups as well as success tips for starting a business.
The '10X' accelerating program was planned and suggested by Seri Sheen, CEO of Startup-X. It is a program that aims to discover excellent startups in 10 different industries, exit at least 10 companies, and earn up to 10 IPOs within 10 years. For startups, we provide opportunities for growth through related industry expertise, experience, and capital, whereas we provide open innovation opportunities for medium-sized companies to open new technologies and markets in hopes to build a solid startup ecosystem where everyone can be in a win-win situation.
The selected startups will be supported with diverse accelerator programs such as commercialization and investment attraction training, customized mentoring, Demo Day, and more. Not only this, but there will also be an open innovation program consisting of technical seminars, business collaboration, and global programs. In addition, we are planning to invest more than 100 million won to companies with excellent performance.
How have you attracted users, and with what strategy have you grown your company from the start to now?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: The strategy so far has been focused on developing technology for commercialization and mass production. We also focused on the minimum sales and profits for our business to survive from the beginning, not just relying on attracting investments. I think this is one of the main reasons behind building a successful commercialization strategy.
To constantly appear, be verified, and gain self-sufficiency in the market, and also to supplement, prove, and make progress based on feedback and research is what Raphas has been doing from the start of business. I think this was what allowed our company to continuously grow and develop.
Raphas' ultimate goal is to become a global healthcare company that contributes to human health and happiness through the development of patch-type vaccines. We are actively utilizing the mass production technology that succeeded in commercializing cosmetic products to our pharmaceutical business.
Which has been the best marketing software tool for the growth of your startup, and why?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: Customers are very precise and smart. They discover the core values and technologies very quickly and even use them to make decisions. It may sound obsolete, but it is important to focus on the essence and communicate with customers through products and services. That is the best marketing as well as the best communication tool with customers.
What do most startups get wrong about marketing in general?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: Following what other companies do without thinking of emphasizing the company's strength and advantage seems to be the most common mistake many startups make. For Raphas, everything that was done was first in the industry. There was no concept and awareness of microneedles, so we had to be the ones to open up the Path and build up by ourselves. Although there were many difficulties at first, what we did seemed to be correct as we had built our own unique way. Even with an objective perspective, companies that demonstrate their strengths in their own way have more potential to succeed than companies that follow others.
How did you plan to expand globally?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: The patch products, which enabled mass production by applying Raphas' unique and independent technology, were recognized in the overseas markets for technology and marketability. In November 2012, our product was launched by ODM method in Japan, and in March 2014, we signed an exclusive contract with 'Rodan and Fields' of the United States, which succeeded in attracting public attention. Furthermore, in January 2015, our product named 'Acute Care' was selected as '2014's Most Innovative Beauty Products' by Forbes, USA. Our product is still being introduced as a remarkable new product by foreign media. Currently, we have customers from 20 different countries around the world, making sales of microneedle patches in ODM to major global beauty brands. Even after proving the excellence of technology, it still requires effort to communicate and convince the customers and the market as well.
What are the most common mistakes companies make with global expansion?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: Global expansion at an early stage with a lack of internal stability is the most common mistake companies make. It is necessary to take global expansion as a long-term goal, expanding it step by step accordingly to the company's capabilities.
What are the most common mistakes founders make when they start a company?
Founders find it difficult to set a realistic plan. Since companies are very sensitive to cash flow, founders need to have a realistic cash flow plan before they start and operating a business.
How do you handle this COVID-19 outbreak situation for your company's survival in the future?
After Covid-19, Raphas has been preparing for a non-contact solution for both work and business models. Microneedle technology is an appropriate technology in the non-contact era, as it can inject vaccines or other medical drugs conveniently without the help of a specialized doctor. Since we are confident that our technology will be a useful solution in the non-contact generation of the post-pandemic era, our direction of the research topic is clear.
What's the best advice you've ever received? And What advice do you have for someone who is interested in doing similar things like yours or in a similar direction?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: The most memorable piece of advice was a slightly modified version of a Korean proverb, 'Even if the sky falls, there are holes to rise (Every cloud has a silver lining),' which the advice was that the sky would never fall. This advice gave me confidence and changed my mindset that I can overcome any difficulties that I may face when managing and operating a company. So, I would like to advise people to have a positive mindset at all times, overcoming difficulties wisely.
What are the top-three books that changed your life and why?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: "Karma Management" by Kazuo Inamori was one of the most inspiring books I have read, considering it as the philosophy of management. The book was a present from the CEO of a venture capital that first invested in our company. In addition, books are written by Peter Drucker and books about venture startups also gave me a lot of insights into the early stage of business.
How do you keep yourself motivated every day?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: Steve Jobs used to ask himself every day, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I'm about to do today?" With this question in mind, I motivate myself by believing that today is another gift of my life, doing the best I can to have a meaningful day.
What are the top three life lessons that you want your (future) sons and daughters to know?
Jeong Do-Hyeon:
How would you like the startup ecosystem to develop?
Jeong Do-Hyeon: In order to develop the startup ecosystem soundly, an environment to foster startup ideas and nurture business sprouts is indeed essential. To do so, existing medium-and-large-sized conglomerates need to foster startups and take positive consideration of their ideas. In addition, startup founders should also take risks to implement bold challenges into reality.
According to a report, ' Startup Korea! Digital Healthcare' by Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Korean healthcare startups are not found among the top 100 global digital healthcare startups, despite the high-level digital infrastructure of Korea. This includes outstanding medical technology, a high penetration rate of medical institution electronic medical record (EMR), and the world's no.1 smartphone penetration rate. The biggest reason behind this by 44% was due to strong telemedicine regulation by the government. It is greatly hoped that the government will ease various regulations with flexible thinking and policy management so that startups' fresh new ideas and attempts can be settled.

Ming-Chi Kuo: Two New MacBook Pros in 2021 and New MacBook Air in 2022, All Equipped With Apple Silicon and Mini-LED Displays
Chris Hauk - Dec 2, 2020
TFI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple has plans for two redesigned MacBook Pro models in 2021 and a new MacBook Air in 2022. All three will boast Apple Silicon chips and mini-LED displays.
In a research note to investors, shared by MacRumors, Kuo says two new MacBook Pro models equipped with an all-new form factor design are expected to launch in 2021, and a new "affordable" MacBook Air is expected in 2022, all equipped with Apple Silicon chips and mini-LED displays Kuo had previously stated that Apple would release additional Apple Silicon-powered MacBook models in the second half of 2021.
Kuo is optimistic as far as MacBook shipments go, seeing them growing significantly by 100% with up to 35 million units per year, thanks to the use of the new Apple Silicon chips and refreshed designs.
Kuo says he believes Apple will be able to offset the added expense of the mini-LED panels to be used in the MacBooks, thanks to the significant savings of using Apple Silicon in place of pricey Intel processors.
Apple devices expected to use mini-LED displays are also projected to see much higher than expected shipments. TFI Securities has revised its shipment forecasts by 350% for 2021 and 450% in 2022. Apple is expected to ship 10 to 12 million mini-LED devices in 2021 and 25 to 28 million mini-LED devices in 2022.
Epistar, who is expected to be Apple's sole mini-LED display supplier, is expected to make major sales gains as a result of Apple's new products' usage of mini-LED.
MacBooks are expected to initially be the main drive for mini-LED panel shipments, as they will reportedly begin using mini-LED before the iPad, and are expected to experience faster shipment growth.
Kuo had previously said that while Epistar would remain the main supplier for Apple's mini-LED chip needs, Sanan and other manufacturers should soon be able to provide supply, as existing patents are not expected to serve as significant barriers to entry. Kuo says mini-LED efforts by Apple and its suppliers have moved from the "technology development" stage to the "economies of scale/cost" stage. Kuo has said that at least one new iPad model will use a mini-LED display, hitting shelves in the first half of 2021.

Forgot to brag the other day….
Thanks to somebody stumbling upon us a few days ago by searching for giantess garden on the Greek Google, we finally made it to 5000 hits. We got what we wanted, and they got to read the wonderful review of Garden State.

There is no release date set yet. Samsung will release when a) they are satisfied the phone is at acceptable quality (eg. the firmware) and b) it is an appropriate time to release the D510 and D600 so as to not prematurely kill their D500 sales. Many people are claiming release dates which are just made up, this is not helpful.
Street price should be around USD$390 equivalent although list price might be quite high. Be careful when you buy. Please buy from a shop rather than internet store! The local shop here has the D500 for $320.
The memory is approximately 88Mb, and it takes MicroSD or TransFlash cards to expand this memory.
2 MP camera???multimedia player???? 262K color TFT?? T-Flash memory??? 320x240 pixel??? dual speakers??? slide up models??? D600???? it's pretty cool!!!!
Let us hope it will!
I also asked the guy at Verizon at the mall today. And he said it will be out within 1 or 2 weeks too.
GUYS !!! BIG NEWS !!!!
This phone is coming out this month !!!
Probably next week or the next next week !!
This is a very very accurate information from the company that makes camera lense for the D600.
Some sites are stating it will come out on Tuesday.
I'm korean.. Always I am proud of using samsung phone blue black... but I will change this ... 2 mega camera???
Does this phone have the option to ring and vibrate at the same time like the Nokias?
It's driving me nuts! I talked to this guy in a mobile-shop yesterday and he said it'll come out in 2 months, then another guy said it won't come out untill the end of 2005. What is it? Samsung should hurry!!! I want this phone!!!
I just saw a samsund D600 on sale on ebay. Te seller has great feedback and seems to have real pictures.

As part of the Science Biennal, D-NOSES partners Ibercivis and Ideas for Change (IFC) held an odour training and awareness workshop last Sunday 10th of February 2019 in the Fòrum area of Barcelona. The Fòrum area has long been a focal point of bad smells; which D-NOSES proposes to resolve using citizen science to measure and validate the real impact on residents. Visitors and their children were excited to learn about the environmental odours affecting their neighbourhoods and what could be done about them.
The human nose remains the best odour sensor we have available, and with a little training can deliver a scientifically accurate picture of the concentration and dispersion of odours. During the event members of the community were taught how to recognize the different types of odours and assess their impact by measuring the odour's intensity and its hedonic tone (the extent to which an odour is perceived as pleasant or unpleasant). These characteristics tend to be subjective and can be associated with particular memories which led to some amusing answers from the children participating in the odour recognition exercise – such as "the smell of my grandma". However, with some training, people learn to associate smells with the correct substances and can then reliably identify them.
By empowering communities to map smells they come across in their daily lives, enough data can be collected to better understand the problem and work constructively together with industry and local government to propose practical solutions that can benefit all.
Follow the progress of the project and pilots by signing up to the newsletter and following D-NOSES on social media.

Pitt Rivers Museum is a museum displaying the archaeological and anthropological collections of the University of Oxford in England. The museum is located to the east of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, and can only be accessed through that building.

The museum was founded in 1884 by Augustus Pitt Rivers, who donated his private collection to the University of Oxford with the condition that a permanent lecturer in anthropology must be appointed. Edward Burnett Tylor thereby became the first lecturer in anthropology in the UK following his appointment to the post of Reader in Anthropology in 1885. Museum staff are still involved in teaching archaeology and anthropology at the university. The first curator of the museum was Henry Balfour. A second stipulation in the Deed of Gift was that a building should be provided to house the collection and used for no other purpose. The university therefore engaged Thomas Manly Deane, son of Thomas Newenham Deane who, together with Benjamin Woodward, had designed and built the original Oxford University Museum of Natural History building three decades earlier, to create an adjoining building at the rear of the main building to house the collection. Construction started in 1885 and was completed in 1886.

The original donation consisted of approximately 22,000 items; this has now grown to more than 500,000 items, many of which have been donated by travelers, scholars, and missionaries.

Organization
The exhibition space in the museum's building is a large, rectangular, colonnaded room. It has two mezzanine levels and a massive, vaulted ceiling, and is brimming with glass display cases and exhibits.

The museum's collection is arranged typologically, according to how the objects were used, rather than according to their age or origin. The display of many examples of a particular type of tool or artifact, showing historical and regional variations, is an unusual and distinct feature of this museum. This topological layout is based upon Augustus Henry Lane Fox Pitt Rivers' theories; he intended for his collection to show progression in design and evolution in human culture from the simple to the complex. Although this evolutionary approach to material culture is no longer appropriate in the modern display paradigm for archaeological and anthropological objects, the museum has broadly retained the original typological organization due to the Pitt Rivers Deed of Gift which stipulated that any changes to the displays "shall not affect the general principle originated by Augustus Henry Lane Fox Pitt Rivers".

As the museum has an extensive collection of objects; those on display are changed periodically.

The museum was closed due to the COVID-19 quarantine. The museum was closed from 17 March 2020 to 22 September 2020. During this closure, a decision was made to remove displays of shrunken heads as well as other human remains. The museum's director issued a statement, "Exhibiting Tsantsas (shrunken heads) reinforced racist and stereotypical thinking that goes against the museum's core values." The shrunken heads had been on display since the 1940s.

The Haida Totem Pole

The largest object on display in the museum is the Haida house post, a totem pole, which has a height of 11.36m. It originally stood in front of the Star House in the village of Old Massett (Haida name Uttewas), on Graham Island, in British Columbia, Canada. The Star House belonged to Chief Anetlas (c.1816–1893); it is thought that the house was constructed in 1882. The pole was purchased by Edward Burnett Tylor and transported to the Pitt Rivers Museum in 1901.

Photo Gallery

Expansion
In 2004, the museum received £3,700,000 from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) to build an annex adjoining the museum. Building work was completed in 2007, bringing the academic staff of the museum back to the site, and providing a laboratory for conservation of the specimens.

A second phase of development began on 7 July 2008 necessitating the closure of the museum and galleries. The museum reopened on 1 May 2009. In this work, the 1960s exhibition gallery was dismantled, restoring the original view through to the museum's totem pole. Original display cases were returned to their original place at the front of the museum. The space upstairs vacated by these cases provides additional space for a Clore Duffield Education Centre. A new entrance platform was built to allow visitors to enter on the same level as the Oxford University Museum of Natural History and improves access for wheelchair users and parents with pushchairs. The entrance platform provides re-located shop and reception areas. An environmental control system was also installed.

Awards
The Pitt Rivers Museum, along with the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, won The Guardian newspaper's award for Family Friendly Museum of 2005.

In 2019, the Pitt Rivers Museum was finalist of the Art Fund Museum of the Year Award.

Colonial legacy
In recent years, the Pitt Rivers Museum has been called sector-leading in its work on decoloniality. Further details can be found on the website.

In September 2020, the museum announced it had made a number of critical changes to its displays, including the removal from display of human remains and the installation of a new Introductory Case as an intervention in its permanent galleries that engages with the colonial legacy of the museum. The museum has also said that it would make changes to the labels to include stories "through the voices of artists and indigenous leaders".

As part of this process the Pitt Rivers Museum is meeting with originating communities to address errors and gaps in the information it stores, and to discuss repatriation. One of these is the Living Cultures initiative, a collaboration between the museum, a Maasai community based campaign group called Oltoilo Le Maa, and community development organisation InsightShare. Additionally, the museum, together with the Museum of Natural History, returned the remains of 17 Aborigines to the Australian government in 2022.

UH Alumna gains multidimensional experience at leading O&G company
UH alumna Sarah Murphy has created a career worth noticing in just the three short years since she graduated. Murphy is part of Shell's Graduate Program, a three-year rotational program created to enhance the careers of young professionals. During her time at Shell, Murphy was given opportunities to work in and become familiar with various parts of the business.
Murphy's first rotation threw her right into the action of the trade floor, working as an analyst and ethanol scheduler in the trade and supply sector. In the 20 months that she spent in that position, Murphy gained invaluable experience and knowledge of the fast-paced, ever-changing environment of the trade floor.
"Trading and supply was great experience. I learned a ton, but it's a very difficult position to be in when you're just starting out," she said. "The business is moving at such a break-neck speed – a lot of trial by fire learning."
Her next rotation brought her to Shell's chemicals sector as a customer center analyst. While less crowded and noisy than the trade floor, her responsibilities were just as substantial. Murphy worked as a customer center analyst, charged with ensuring that all components were available and in place for customers.
"It's very interesting because it means you're actually in the business," said Murphy. "I worked with a lot of third parties which is a lot of fun because this is their profession and they are much more experienced. I found myself asking a lot of questions, but they're always so willing to help."
Murphy graduated from UH in 2014 with a Bachelor's degree in supply chain management. During her time as a student in the Bauer College of Business, Murphy was involved in various student organizations including the Energy Association, where she was president. She credits these experiences as well as her relationship with mentors to her ability to succeed in such a competitive field.
"You have to show that you're something special and that you can take on more and set yourself apart from the crowd. Bauer did a really good job at laying a foundation for that," she said.
As she nears the end of her time in the Graduate Program, Murphy has begun exploring career possibilities at Shell. She explains that there are a variety of opportunities that she hopes to be part of after her program finishes in March 2018.
"Pie in the sky would probably be to work in our New Energies Business. We have a really big R&D group that does research into biofuels and renewables and things like that. So trying to make that successful for Shell would be really cool."

Athletics master plan? Not yet
Anthony Garzilli
Upgrades to Ridgeland's athletic complex are on the way, but the process is crawling along.
At Monday's regular meeting, Jasper County's school board appeared ready to approve awarding a company a maximum of $6,325 to prepare the master plan for the upgrades.
The plan was discussed at a recent facilities committee meeting and board member Randy Horton recommended the approval, but the other eight board members hesitated because they did not have sufficient information about the project.
"I'd like to see and know what we are voting on," board member Pamela Williams said.
The talk was tabled and was discussed after executive session.
After executive session, board member Barbara Clark made a motion to accept the recommendation, but then board member Michael Hubbard wondered if the plans met FAA guidelines and other questions were raised.
"We have to make sure we know what we are getting into," Hubbard said.
After a few minutes of questions and discussion, Clark withdrew her motion and the issue was tabled to be discussed later when the board has more information.
The company would prepare the master plan and then a request for proposal (RFP) would be issued for another company to install the plan.
The plans include constructing a multi-purpose field at Ridgeland High for use as a practice football field, soccer field and for band practice; constructing a regulation track around the field; and installing lights and bleachers.
Accountability review results
Arthur Holmes, head of academics and human resources, presented a report of data collected by the District Accountability Review team. The team visited the district's five schools and evaluated the schools based on nine areas and issued grades on a 0 to 5 scale.
The final overall average scores were either a 3 or 4. A 4 was given for the areas of teacher attendance, communication, data gathering, teacher curriculum team meeting and school environment. A 3 was given for student attendance, classroom observation, teacher failure rate information and quality student work posted. There were no scores of 0 or 5.
The team noted what stood out in each area and listed recommendations for improvement.
For example, the team noted parent notification is consistent for all students with chronic absences, but it recommends developing school-wide incentives to reinforce and reward good attendance.
The team noted student work has "appropriate standards that correlates with SC standards on grade level," but recommends displaying more quality work of students in upper grades.
Holmes was pleased with the results and said there will be another review session this spring. He noted principals have been told to put into action the team's recommendations.
Part of the principals' evaluations at the end of the year will be based on their implementations of the recommendations.
The results were an overall look at the schools, but the board requested a school-by-school breakdown.
Staff, board recognized
Cheryl Hensley, school district executive secretary, was honored by Superintendent Vashti Washington with a "Behind the Scenes Hero" award. Hensley has worked more than 30 years and Washington said Hensley is "always willing to give her best."
The school board was also recognized. Chairman Kathleen Snooks was recognized for 15 years of service and the board was recognized for their years: Priscilla Fraser (first year 1992); Snooks (1996); Berty Riley (1998); Horton (2000); Hubbard (2005); Alina Hamilton-Clark (2006); Williams (2008); Cathy Gardner (2010); and Barbara Clark (2010).
Board to tour schools
The school board will tour the district's campuses Feb. 7. The board will visit Hardeeville from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Ridgeland's campus will be toured from 12:30 to 3 p.m.

Commissioner Customs Uganda Revenue Authority –Versus- Kirenga Fred
Kaggwa & Kaggwa Advocates2018-12-27T14:47:21+00:00
The Commissioner Customs Uganda Revenue Authority (Appellant) appealed to the Court of Appeal against Kirenga Fred (Respondent) on three (3) grounds contesting the lower court's awards to the respondent of compensatory damages, general damages and exemplary damages.
Background.
The respondent was charged with several counts of interfering with the goods; neutral portable ethanol that had been seized by Uganda Revenue Authority Commissioner in charge of customs and he was as well accused of fraudulent evasion of tax contrary to section 203 (e) and (f) of the East African Community Customs Management Act in the Chief Magistrates 'court of Nakawa. On the 13th day of June 2011, court dismissed the criminal charges.
The lower Court ordered the release of the 160 drums of ethanol the appellant had seized from the respondent. The respondent later filed Miscellaneous Application No. 423 of 2011 following his acquittal as a result of the appellant refusing to release the goods in issue. The learned Magistrate (in the lower court) entertained the Application in which he declared that the Appellant was in contempt of court and he ordered the Commissioner to pay a sum of Ugshs. 1,000,000 daily until the order is complied with. The Appellant appealed against the orders of the Chief Magistrate. After that an application under Article 26 and 50 of the Constitution was filed in the High Court
The Chief Magistrate also ordered that the 160 drums of ethanol that were confiscated from the respondent be immediately returned to him. However, the respondent had made a self assessment by his agent and the value of his goods was under declared. The 160 drums had been sold at shs. 110, 000,000 by the appellant much above the value declared. Since the agent's acts bind the principle, the respondent was found to have under declared the value of his goods in the Court of Appeal.
The Appellant, however, claimed to have banked Ug shs. 26, 054,706 on the respondent's account, the appellant argued that this was the declared value of the goods less taxes which taxes the respondent claimed to have already paid. Therefore, the question would remain what happened to the balance and how tax was assessed.
The Appellant brought this appeal on three (3) grounds including;
That the trial judge erred in law and fact in awarding compensatory damages amounting to Ug shs. 230,983,291 for the alleged loss of 160 drums of ethanol
That the trial judge erred in law and fact in awarding the respondent general damages worth Ug shs. 80,000,000.
That the trial judge erred in law and fact in awarding the respondent exemplary damages of Ug shs. 150,000,000.
Judgment.
On the grounds of appeal against the damages awarded by the lower court, the Court of Appeal noted that the learned judge had awarded exorbitant compensatory damages to the tune of Ugshs. 230,983,291 as there was no way the ethanol could have been kept from August 2009 to the time judgment was delivered. It also observed that general damages arise from direct, natural and probable consequences of the act complained of and that therefore the fundamental character of damages is compensation not punishment.
It also observed that exemplary damages are punitive in nature and are given in addition to compensatory damages for the physical and mental suffering of the complainant. Considerations must be made before awarding these damages and these include; the complainant cannot recover damages when he/ she is a victim of punishable behavior; the power to award them should be used with restraint and finally the means of the parties are material in the assessment of exemplary damages. Court observed that the sale of the perishable goods (ethanol) by the Appellant was rightfully done in accordance with Section 214 of the East African Community Act which law permits the appellant to dispose of the goods when they are of a perishable manner.
On the point of under declaration of the value of goods, the Court noted that the East African Community Customs and Management Act 2004 Section 148 makes the owner of the goods liable for the acts and declaration of his agent. It further noted that Section 122 of the same Act is very clear that the importer (respondent) on request to find out how the customs value of the goods is determined is entitled to an explanation and therefore this was simply a procedural omission which could not be found unconstitutional or arbitrary.
It is important to observe that the actions of an agent who under declares the value of goods bind the owner of the goods, therefore it is important to emphasize the actual value of goods to the tax officials so as to avoid being party to tax evasion which is prohibited by law.

Patient-specific numerical simulation of the spine is a useful tool both in clinic and research. While geometrical personalization of the spine is no more an issue, thanks to recent technological advances, non-invasive personalization of soft tissue's mechanical properties remains a challenge. Ultrasound elastography is a relatively recent measurement technique allowing the evaluation of soft tissue's elastic modulus through the measurement of shear wave speed (SWS). The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of elastographic measurements in intervertebral disc (IVD). An in-vitro approach was chosen to test the hypothesis that SWS can be used to evaluate IVD mechanical properties and to assess measurement repeatability. Eleven oxtail IVDs were tested in compression to determine their stiffness and apparent elastic modulus at rest and at 400 N. Elastographic measurements were performed in these two conditions and compared to these mechanical parameters. The protocol was repeated six times to determine elastographic measurement repeatability. Average SWS over all samples was 5.3 ± 1.0 m/s, with a repeatability of 7 % at rest and 4.6 % at 400 N; stiffness and apparent elastic modulus were 266.3 ± 70.5 N/mm and 5.4 ± 1.1 MPa at rest, respectively, while at 400 N they were 781.0 ± 153.8 N/mm and 13.2 ± 2.4 MPa. Correlations were found between elastographic measurements and IVD mechanical properties; these preliminary results are promising for further in-vivo application.
