Library of Congress News from the Library of Congress 2011 NASA and Library of Congress Establish Chair in ...
November 30, 2011 (REVISED January 4, 2012) NASA and Library of Congress Establish Chair in Astrobiology
Press Contact: Donna Urschel, Office of Communications, (202) 707-1639
Public Contact: Carolyn Brown, John W. Kluge Center, (202) 707-0636
Librarian of Congress James H. Billington and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced today the establishment of the Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology, housed within the John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress, to focus on an important area of human inquiry—the cultural, philosophical, ethical and societal implications of astrobiology.
Astrobiology addresses three fundamental questions: "How did life begin and evolve?" "Is there life beyond Earth?" and "What is the future of life on Earth and beyond?" Before the advent of modern science, these questions were largely in the realm of philosophy, theology and ethics. Today, the tools of science are increasingly being brought to bear to address these questions. The NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology represents an opportunity for high-level collaboration in understanding the interface between astrobiology and human society.
This timely and auspicious collaboration between NASA and the Library of Congress owes a great deal to the vision of the late Dr. Baruch S. Blumberg, founding member of the Library's Scholars Council, which advises the Librarian on scholarly matters. Blumberg, known affectionately as Barry, shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1976 for discovering the hepatitis B virus and developing a powerful vaccine to fight it, saving countless lives.
Blumberg held a medical degree from Columbia University and a doctorate in biochemistry from the University of Oxford. His curiosity and interests were wide-ranging. In 1999 he added a new dimension to his career by becoming the founding director of NASA's Astrobiology Institute. He also served as president of the American Philosophical Society from 2005 until his death earlier this year.
Billington said of Blumberg and the new chair, "For many years, Barry was a leading figure in the Scholars Council of the Kluge Center in the Library of Congress, who actively promoted research and dialogue between disciplines at a time when he was working so creatively. This chair is a wonderful expression of his energy and vision in exploring new fields. It will advance understanding of the implications of this intellectual frontier as well as honor Barry's broader, enormous contributions."
The Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology will be a distinguished senior research position in residence at the Kluge Center for a period of up to 12 months. Using research facilities and services at the Library, the holder of the chair is expected to engage in research at the intersection between the science of astrobiology and its humanistic aspects, particularly its societal implications. Examples of research topics that might be addressed include, but are not limited to, the societal implications of discovering life beyond Earth or discovering that life is rare in the universe; the ways in which astrobiology influences and is influenced by culture; the role of astrobiology in promoting science and technological education and public literacy; ethical considerations arising from in-situ exploration for life on the planets and moons of our solar system; and the role of astrobiology in contributing to and shaping the future of life on Earth and beyond.
The Kluge Center has issued a call for nominations and applications. Information about the NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology and an application form will be available online at www.loc.gov/loc/kluge/fellowships/NASA-astrobiology.html. The first chair holder is expected to take up residence in October of 2012. Deadline for submission is Feb. 13, 2012 (extended).
NASA Astrobiology Institute Director Carl B. Pilcher said, "Public libraries have traditionally provided a public space for discourse on things that matter to a democratic society. The Astrobiology chair will continue this great tradition, using the unparalleled stature of the Library of Congress as well as its vast resources to promote a dialogue about the significance of astrobiology to our society."
The Astrobiology chair joins other distinguished chairs in the Kluge Center, including several chairs funded by the Kluge Endowment, the Cary and Ann Maguire Chair in Ethics and American History, and the Henry A. Kissinger Chair in Foreign Policy and International Relations.
Through a generous endowment from John W. Kluge, the Library of Congress established the Kluge Center in 2000 to bring together the world's best thinkers to stimulate and energize one another, to distill wisdom from the Library's rich resources, and to interact with policymakers in Washington. For further information on the Kluge Center, visit www.loc.gov/kluge/.
The Library of Congress, the nation's oldest federal cultural institution and the largest library in the world, holds nearly 147 million items in various languages, disciplines and formats. The Library serves the U.S. Congress and the nation both on-site in its reading rooms on Capitol Hill and through its award-winning website at www.loc.gov. Many of the Library's rich resources and treasures may also be accessed via interactive exhibitions on a personalized website at myLOC.gov.
The NASA Astrobiology Program supports research into the origins, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe. The NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI), an element of that program, is a partnership among NASA, 14 U.S. teams, and eight international consortia. NAI's goals are to promote, conduct, and lead interdisciplinary astrobiology research, train a new generation of astrobiology researchers, and share the excitement of astrobiology with learners of all ages.

Q: leftskip, rightskip and centering in reledmac I try to use \leftskip and \rightskip together with \pstart and \pend in reledmac.
My goal is to set titles centered and have the left and right margin increased. This is what I have so far:
\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{reledmac}
\begin{document}
\beginnumbering
\rightskip=3em
\leftskip=3em
{\centering\pstart Romeo and Juliet \pend}
{\centering\pstart (First performance by the  Theatre in the Winter 1564, played by Shakespeare and his company the Lord Chamberlain's Men)\pend}
\rightskip=0em
\leftskip=0em
\pstart Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers.
\pend
{}\endnumbering
 \end{document}

Unfortunately the title and subtitle are not responding to the skip-commands. I know I could use the eledchapter etc.-commands but that would mean I would have to totally rewrite them as i need no space before and after, nothing in the toc, no space between heading and subheading and text etc. etc.

A: I suggest to control the line breaks in the heading manually, which makes sense anyway. (Omit  \medskip if you don't want to have space between heading and text.)
\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{reledmac}
\begin{document}
\beginnumbering
{\centering
\pstart Romeo and Juliet \pend
\pstart (First performance by the  Theatre in the Winter 1564,\\

\pstart

Q: Spring async ConcurrentTaskExecutor not really working correctly? It's my first time working with Async in Spring boot. Here is how my project is structured.
I have the following ExecutorConfig class
@Configuration
@EnableAsync
public class ExecutorConfig {
    @Bean(name = "ConcurrentTaskExecutor")
    public Executor getAsyncExecutor() {
        return new ConcurrentTaskExecutor(Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10));
    }
}

This following class which will be called with @Scheduled
@Component
public class RealtyTracCountyScraper {

    @Autowired
    StateScrapeQueueRepository stateScrapeQueueRepository;

    @Autowired
    CountyScrapeRepository countyScrapeRepository;

    @Autowired
    CountyScraper countyScraper;

    // @Scheduled(cron = "0 0 */3 * * *")
    @EventListener(ApplicationReadyEvent.class)
    public void scrapeCountyLinks() {
        System.out.println("Scrape county links ran!");
        try {
            List<String> stateLinks = stateScrapeQueueRepository.getStatesLinks("");

            for (int i = 0; i < stateLinks.size(); i++) {
                countyScraper.run(stateLinks.get(i));
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            System.out.println("---------------------");
        }
    }

}

and this class which gets called from the class above (This is the class that contains the multithreaded method)
@Component
public class CountyScraper implements AsyncConfigurer {

    @Autowired
    StateScrapeQueueRepository stateScrapeQueueRepository;

    @Autowired
    CountyScrapeRepository countyScrapeRepository;

    @Async("ConcurrentTaskExecutor")
    public void run(String stateLink) {
        System.out.println("New thread");
        try {
            Thread.sleep(1000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        System.out.println("Done");

    }
}

Even though I have set 10 fixed threads in the ExecutorConfig class, it looks like only one thread works at a time. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

A: I guess there are a couple of things not completely right in your code.

*

*Your component implements AsyncConfigurer

*You don't have @EnableScheduling
Your CountyScraper implements the AsyncConfigurer interface. Leading to 2 possible problems. The first is configuring async processing with the defaults and usage of interface based proxies instead of class based proxies. Hence eliminating the @Async. Although the latter doesn't seem to be the case, one might never know.
The AsyncConfigurer should actually be implemented by your ExecutorConfig.
@Configuration
@EnableAsync
@EnableScheduling
public class ExecutorConfig implements AsyncConfigurer {

    public Executor getAsyncExecutor() {
        return taskExecutor();
    }

    @Bean
    public ThreadPoolTaskExecutor taskExecutor() {
        ThreadPoolTaskExecutor taskExecutor = new TaskExecutor();
        taskExecutor.setCorePoolSize(10);
        return taskExecutor;
    }
}

This will configure the default Executor used for async processing. Instead of a ConcurrentTaskExecutor I used the ThreadPoolTaskExecutor instead. The latter allows a bit more configuration and will cleanup the threads nicely when Spring Boot shutsdown.
TIP: If you are using Spring Boot 2.1 you can actually ditch the configuration of the TaskExecutor and replace it with configuration only.
Now you can use a simple @Async instead of naming the executor explicitly (which will now fail because it is named differently).
spring.task.execution.pool.core-size=10 # Default is 8

Your configuration then becomes
@Configuration
@EnableAsync
@EnableScheduling
public class ExecutorConfig {}


A small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) study of blends of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB)/diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) with weight ratios of 90/10, 70/30 and 50/50 and PHB isothermally crystallized at temperatures between 60ºC and 120ºC for one hour was performed. PHB was studied at different temperatures between 30ºC and 140ºC. The scattering curve results (intensity as a function of scattering vector (q)) indicated a main peak and secondary peaks associated with the thickness of the lamellae of PHB (with a strong tendency to crystallization). The position of the main peak decreased when the temperature was increased. At high temperatures (~120ºC), a deformation was observed in the main peak and a secondary peak was superimposed. This secondary peak was associated with the lamellar structures formed during the re-crystallization process. The results are discussed based on the DGEBA inclusion in the blends, crystallization temperature and partial interlamellar segregation.
The microbial production of biofuels and other added-value chemicals is often limited by the intrinsic toxicity of these compounds. The phasin PhaP from the soil bacterium Azotobacter sp. strain FA8 is a polyhydroxyalkanoate granuleassociated protein that protects recombinant Escherichia coli against several kinds of stress. PhaP enhances growth and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) synthesis in polymerproducing recombinant strains and reduces the formation of inclusion bodies during overproduction of heterologous proteins. In this work, the heterologous expression of this phasin in E. coli was used as a strategy to increase tolerance to several biotechnologically relevant chemicals. PhaP was observed to enhance bacterial fitness in the presence of biofuels, such as ethanol and butanol, and other chemicals, such as 1,3-propanediol. The effect of PhaP was also studied in a groELS mutant strain, in which both GroELS and PhaP were observed to exert a beneficial effect that varied depending on the chemical tested. Lastly, the potential of PhaP and GroEL to enhance the accumulation of ethanol or 1,3-propanediol was analyzed in recombinant E. coli. Strains that overexpressed either groEL or phaP had increased growth, reflected in a higher final biomass and product titer than the control strain. Taken together, these results add a novel application to the already multifaceted phasin protein group, suggesting that expression of these proteins or other chaperones can be used to improve the production of biofuels and other chemicals.

The objectives of this study were to assess the clinical and metabolic risk factors for clinical endometritis, the likelihood for having a normal vaginal discharge during postpartum, and the effects of endometritis on milk yield, reproductive efficiency, and metabolic status in Holstein cows. The study was conducted in a commercial dairy herd (Cordoba, Argentina) where 303 Holstein cows were enrolled. Cows were body condition scored (1 to 5) and tail bled on −14, 7, 21, 31, 41, and 50 d relative to parturition. Cows having a vaginal discharge with presence of pus between 21 and 41 d postpartum (dpp) were diagnosed as having clinical endometritis. Plasma blood samples were analyzed for nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA), β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), and blood urea nitrogen using commercial kits and insulin-like growth factor 1, insulin, and leptin by RIA. Data were analyzed with PROC MIXED, PROC GENMOD, and PROC PHREG of SAS (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Abnormal calving and puerperal metritis increased the risk for endometritis [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.21 for both]. High prepartum NEFA and high postpartum BHBA increased the risk for endometritis (AOR = 1.003 and 1.001, respectively), whereas high prepartum blood urea nitrogen reduced it (AOR = 0.853). Cut-offs of 456.6 μM NEFA and 402.5 μM BHBA had sensitivities of 0.69 and 0.58, and specificities of 0.88 and 0.86, respectively. The likelihood for having normal vaginal discharge increased with time (∼1% × dpp) and with normal calving. Cows with endometritis had higher milk yield than normal herdmates (27.8 ± 0.9 vs. 25.7 ± 0.4 kg/d), lower risk for pregnancy by 100 dpp (AOR = 0.10), higher nonpregnancy risk by 200 dpp (AOR = 2.87), and higher risk for culling than normal cows (AOR = 2.28). Cows with endometritis had a lower hazard rate (0.44) for pregnancy and had approximately 70 d longer calving-to-conception intervals. Finally, endometritis had no effect on metabolic hormones. In conclusion, the risk for clinical endometritis increases with abnormal calving and puerperal metritis, as prepartum NEFA and postpartum BHBA concentrations increase. Prepartum NEFA and postpartum BHBA could be useful for the prediction of endometritis. Last, clinical endometritis has detrimental effects on reproductive efficiency, as affected cows take longer to get pregnant and are at higher risk for culling.

Real-time experiments using small-angle X-ray scattering and differential scanning calorimetry on blends of the semicrystalline polyester poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and amorphous monomer epoxy DGEBA (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A) were performed. Differences in the processes of melting and recrystallization were observed in blends relative to pure PHB. The results obtained in this study indicated that re-crystallization is more important in blends with 50% DGEBA than in pure PHB. Moreover, segregation toward the interfibrillar region would facilitate re-crystallization.

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)-based bionanocomposites were prepared using various percentages of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) by a solution casting method. CNCs were prepared from microcrystalline cellulose using sulfuric acid hydrolysis. The influence of CNCs on PHB properties was evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry and tensile testing. Vapor permeation and light transmission of the materials were also measured. Differential scanning calorimetric tests demonstrated that CNCs were effective PHB nucleation agents. Tensile strength and Young's modulus of PHB increased with increasing CNC concentration. Moreover, the PHB/CNC bionanocomposites exhibited reduced water vapor permeation compared to neat PHB and had better UV barrier properties than commodity polymers such as polypropylene. It was found that nanocomposites with 6wt% of CNCs had the optimum balance among thermal, mechanical and barrier properties.

The roads are expected to be busy this weekend.
Easter falling early this year means it is likely to be one of the busiest bank holiday weekends in recent years, a motoring firm has warned.
More than four out of five (81%) UK motorists are planning a leisure trip by car over the weekend, according to an AA poll of more than 20,000 people.
This equates to nearly 26 million drivers on the road.
The AA believes the longer gap between Easter and summer is encouraging more people to take advantage of the four-day weekend.
Bank holiday getaway traffic is expected to peak on Saturday, with 66% of motorists driving to a holiday destination or leisure outing.
AA patrol of the year Vince Crane urged families to carry out essential vehicle checks and pack sufficient supplies in case they are affected by gridlocked traffic or severe weather.
He said: "As well as your snacks and road trip playlist, pack some must-haves for long journeys like a sat-nav or atlas, a fully charged mobile phone and any time-dependent medication in case of delays.
"With the Met Office signalling the possibility of a return of the Beast from the East, don't take your winter emergency kit out of the car just yet. That snow shovel may still come in handy."
Highways England is removing 300 miles of roadworks from England's motorways and major A-roads to ease the flow of traffic.
About 99% of the network will be open in time for Easter, the Government-owned company said.
Services on some of Britain's busiest rail routes will be suspended during the weekend due to engineering work.
More than 400 projects will be carried out as part of a £118 million investment by Network Rail. Passengers will be affected on the West Coast Main Line, at London Euston and in the Bristol area.
Network Rail said it schedules engineering work for bank holidays as there are fewer passengers than normal on those days.


The loss of actor and comedian Robin Williams has opened up a national conversation on depression.
There are many tools available for people to try and cope with this mental illness. Recent studies show that curcumin--an active component of the spice turmeric--is gaining attention for its antidepressant qualities.
Curcumin was shown in a recent study to be as effective as the antidepressant medication fluoxetine (Prozac) in patients with major depressive disorder. Patients who took 1,000 millgrams (mg) of curcumin per day fared as well as those who took 20 mg of fluoxetine. Curcumin was also well tolerated, and the study authors concluded that it was effective and safe.
Lead author Ajay Goel, PhD, said curcumin may also help alleviate short-term mood issues. He added that the spice's anti-inflammatory properties make it a good choice for everyone.
A recent eight-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study showed that individuals diagnosed with major depressive disorder who took BCM-95 Curcumin (500 mg twice daily) had significantly more relief from symptoms than those taking placebo.
Interestingly, the positive results were even greater in those with atypical depression, which is generally more difficult to treat. Researchers theorize that the anti-inflammatory power of curcumin may account for this finding.

O Tupolev TB-3 (: Tyazholy Bombardirovschik; Bombardeiro Pesado; designação civil: ANT-6) foi um bombardeiro pesado, que foi implantado pela Força Aérea Soviética em 1932 e usado na Segunda Guerra Mundial. Foi o primeiro bombardeiro pesado quadrimotor do mundo. Apesar de ser obsoleto e sendo oficialmente retirado de serviço em 1939, o TB-3 exerceu funções de bombardeio e transporte durante quase toda a Segunda Guerra Mundial. O TB-3 também foi usado como nave-mãe no Projeto Zveno, que era basicamente um avião maior (nave-mãe) carregando aviões de caça menores (aeronaves parasitas).

Desenvolvimento

Em 1925, a Força Aérea Soviética se aproximou TsAGI com a exigência de um bombardeiro pesado com a saída total do motor de 2.000  PS e trem de pouso com rodas ou flutuar. Tupolev OKB começou o trabalho de design em 1926 com os requisitos operacionais do governo finalizados em 1929. O Tupolev TB-1 foi tomado como base para o desenho e a aeronave foi inicialmente alimentado por Curtiss V-1570 motores "Conquistador" gerando 600 cv cada um, com a intenção de a mudança para Mikulin M-17 (modificada BMW VIs) na produção. O projeto foi aprovado em 21 de março de 1930 e o primeiro protótipo foi concluído em 31 de outubro de 1930. O avião voou em 22 de dezembro 1930, com Mikhail Gromov nos controles e com ski trem de pouso, apesar de quase cair devido à vibração fazendo com que as borboletas para fechar, o voo de teste foi um sucesso. Em 20 de fevereiro de 1931, a Força Aérea Soviética aprovou a produção em massa de ANT-6 com M-17 motores. O protótipo foi reequipado com BMW Viz 500 motores de 730 cv (720 cv) cada, radiadores maiores, e de madeira hélices de passo fixo de projeto TsAGI. O trem de pouco com apenas um pneu foi considerado fraco, sendo substituído por um com um par de pneus em cada lado.

O primeiro pré-produção TB-3-4M-17 voou em 4 de janeiro de 1932 com AB lumachev e IF Petrov nos controles. Inesperadamente, as aeronaves produzidas em massa subsequentes foram encontradas 10-12% mais pesado do que o protótipo que prejudicou significativamente o desempenho. A discrepância foi descoberto para ser devido às altas tolerâncias positivos sobre as matérias-primas que resultaram em aço de chapas, tubos e fios de ser muito mais espessa do que nas protótipos cuidadosamente construídos. A aeronave também foram mais grosseiramente pintadas com uma espessa camada de camuflagem e laca. As fábricas pediu aos trabalhadores para obter sugestões sobre a redução do peso, pagando 100 rublos para cada kg que fossem retirados da aeronave. Em combinação com os esforços OKB, isso resultou em redução de peso de cerca de 1,000 kg. Apesar disso, a aeronave de produção podem diferir uma da outra por tanto quanto várias centenas de quilogramas. Em 1933, um único TB-3-4M-17F foi simplificada com a remoção de torres e bombas algemas, cobertura de todas as aberturas, e montagem de brigas de rodas. Isto resultou em um aumento de apenas 4,5% na velocidade máxima e um aumento semelhante no intervalo. Tupolev concluiu que a racionalização foi minimamente benéfico para grandes e aeronaves lento. Para estudar o efeito de pele de papelão ondulado, em janeiro-fevereiro de 1935, uma única TB-3-04:00-34R teve as ondulações gradativamente cobertos com tecido. Isto resultou em um ganho de 5,5% na velocidade máxima e um aumento de 27,5% no teto. A mesma aeronave demonstrou um aumento significativo na taxa de subida quando equipado com hélices de 4 pás experimentais.

Projeto

A TB-3 era um avião todo em metal da construção em aço. O quadro era composto de seção-V vigas cobertas com pele de papelão ondulado não estressado variando 0,3-0,8 mm de espessura. As ondulações foram 13 mm de profundidade e 50 milímetros de distância. A asa cantiléver foi apoiado por quatro secções tubo mastros. Qualquer parte da aeronave poderia ser pisado em sapatos macios, sem danificar a pele, e os bordos de ataque das asas desciam para formar passarelas para manutenção do motor. Os controles foram cabo-atuado com uma incidência variável leme horizontal e um sistema de compensação guarnição em caso de falhas de motor em um lado. Fixa principal trem de pouso não foi equipado com freios. Os tanques de combustível não tem vazamento de proteção, embora os motores tinha um sistema de extinção de incêndios interno. Os motores M-17 foram ajustados para fornecer uma gama máxima teórica de 3.250 km (1.750 milhas náuticas; 2.020 km), sem vela ou carburador incrustação. Armamento defensivo consistia de 6 metralhadoras PV-1 em três torres - uma no nariz e dois pares em cima do meio-fuselagem. Mais tarde mudou-se variantes de uma das torres da fuselagem superior ré da barbatana caudal.

História Operacional

A TB-3 foi utilizado operacionalmente durante a Batalha de Khalkhin Gol e na Guerra de Inverno com a Finlândia. Apesar de ter sido oficialmente retirado de serviço em 1939, no início da Grande Guerra Patriótica, em 22 de junho de 1941, a Força Aérea Soviética teve 516 TB-3s operacionais, com um adicional de 25 operada pela Marinha soviética. Estacionados longe fronteira ocidental da URSS, os TB-3 escaparam de perdas catastróficas durante os primeiros ataques aéreos alemães, após a qual TB-3 do terceiro TBAP (Regimento de Bombardeiro Pesado) começou a voar missões noturnas, em 23 de junho. Escassez de aviões de combate prontos também exigiu a utilização diurna de TB-3 sem escolta de caças e neste papel os bombardeiros, operando a altitudes baixas e médias, sofreu pesadas perdas para combatentes inimigos e fogo de chão. Em agosto de 1941, TB-3s composta de 25% da força de bombardeiros soviéticos e, operado pela elite tripulações da Força Aérea, estavam voando até três missões de combate por noite. A aeronave participou de todas as grandes batalhas da guerra até 1943, incluindo o primeira batalha de Smolensk, a Batalha de Moscou, a Batalha de Stalingrado, o cerco de Leningrado, e a Batalha de Kursk. Em 1º de julho de 1945, a Força Aérea Soviética ainda tinha dez TB-3s no ativo.
A TB-3 servido extensivamente como um transporte de carga e de paraquedistas militares, transportar até 35 soldados no último papel. Nos primeiros cinco meses da guerra, a aeronave transportou 2.797 toneladas de carga e 2.300 funcionários. Também foi utilizado o TB-3 em vários projetos especiais como uma nave-mãe lutador do Projeto Zveno e para o transporte de tanques leves T-27, T-37 e T-38. Em 1 de Agosto de 1941, um par de TB-3s em Zveno-SPB configuração, cada um com dois Polikarpov I-16 que levam um par de 250 kg bombas, destruiu um depósito de petróleo sem perdas. Em 11 de agosto e 13 de Agosto de 1941, Zveno-SPB danificado com sucesso o Rei Carol I Ponte sobre Danúbio na Romênia. Operações Zveno terminou no outono de 1942, devido à alta vulnerabilidade das nave-mães. Em reconhecimento do papel TB-3 desempenhou durante a guerra, três aeronaves foram incluídos no primeiro desfile de ar do pós-guerra em 18 de Junho de 1945.

Trama
L'episodio è ambientato il 3 ottobre, giorno della prima udienza del processo che vede contrapposte Jeanette e Kate.

Jeanette ha chiamato in causa Kate per diffamazione; Kate accusa Jeanette di non averla salvata dal suo rapitore. La prima supera in credibilità la seconda quando vengono rese note le chat di Kate con un'amica online conosciuta su un sito per vittime di rapimento, che si scopre essere Ashley, in cui rivela di essersi nascosta da Martin Harris di sua volontà, almeno per i primi mesi, e di esserne stata realmente innamorata. Durante un incontro privato fra le due, nella casa che fu di Harris, si sciolgono i nodi della faccenda. Jeanette entrò effettivamente in quella casa durante la vigilia di Natale, ma non vide Kate. Quest'ultima, invece, incrociò lo sguardo di un'altra persona, appostata davanti all'abitazione, proprio in quei momenti: Mallory, che Jeanette individua, in base al racconto di Kate, grazie a un particolare sulla bicicletta. Kate ricorda infine l'epilogo del suo rapimento, avvenuto con l'omicidio, per mano sua e non della polizia, di Harris, sparando con una pistola chiamata dal prof. "Annabelle", la stessa con cui suo padre si suicidò quando lui era piccolo. A questo punto, Kate si scusa pubblicamente con Jeanette, la quale, di contro, ritira la denuncia. Dopo un litigio, Kate comprende le ragioni che hanno spinto Mallory a non rivelare di essere stata lei a vederla quasi un anno prima (per non perderla e per non metterla in condizione di ammettere di aver intrecciato una relazione con il suo aguzzino), e, più unite di prima, si lasciano andare a un bacio. L'opinione pubblica rivaluta totalmente Jeanette, che può finalmente godere anche dell'amore di Jamie.

1994: Jeanette si intrufola in casa di Martin Harris per un non specificato motivo, e sente le suppliche di qualcuno provenire dal seminterrato. Sta per aprire la porta, ma quando la persona al di là della parete dice di essere Kate, Jeanette si ferma e decide di far finta di niente, sorridendo beffarda all'idea di non avere rivali.

Recently, our analytics team was approached by a nursing administrator with a staffing dilemma that, given my many years working in pediatric health systems, I knew wasn't unique to CHOC Children's.
Following standard protocol, nursing administration was being held accountable for staffing and budgets based on the midnight daily census, a report that provides an official count of the total number of patients present in the hospital at one point in time. Unfortunately, that single point in time ― midnight― was the lowest number of patients in the hospital throughout any 24-hour period. While well-intended, this administrator was routinely over budget for needing to adequately staff for a much larger number of patients in the hospital during daytime hours.
What could be perceived as oversight by the nursing administrator is actually a more complex issue. The reality is that the in patient census is notoriously volatile in most hospitals. Spikes in the census will cause huge difficulties in capacity management, staffing and patient placement. Still, accurately predicting patient census is critical for managing a unit, since staffing levels can be linked to labor costs, patient safety, quality of care, length of stay, readmissions, and staff turnover. Due to its impact on a hospital's performance, it's imperative the correct decisions are made.
The default mechanism would be to rely on antiquated staff¬ing strategies, designs and operations that are paper-based and driven by opinion and tradition. The more evidence-based approach would be to utilize the massive quantities of data collected in the hospital on a daily basis and present it in a manner that is easy for nursing administrators to understand and digest. In this case, providing the administrator with a digital dashboard allowed her to have a bird's eye view of the situation. She, in turn, could now have access to real-time data collected from various sources and use this to base her decisions and ultimately, improve efficiency, quality and patient safety.
For example, the dashboard can provide the actual hourly census throughout the day, by unit, by bed, and by patient. It also includes patient information and acuity, discharge information, as well as nursing staffing over the same period. As a result, she can rethink staffing practices, policies and procedures, and create new models based on this dashboard, and easily justify proper budgeting for needed staff.
"The more evidence-based approach would be to utilize the massive quantities of data collected in the hospital on a daily basis and present it in a manner that is easy for nursing administrators to understand and digest"
At CHOC, we rely on over 20 dashboards to monitor everything from employee turnover to surgical block utilization. A well-designed dashboard can raise awareness of hospital or practitioner performance, including identifying high levels of performance as well as areas for improvement.
We, as all hospitals now, are under growing pressure to better manage the quality and efficiency of care, address the vast array of new payment approaches and ensure the health of a large and diverse population. There is no way to effectively do this without relying on the mounds of data we collect on a daily basis.
Yet, just as important as the collection of the data is the ability to transform it using visualization tools that create images so that the data is presented in a way that is easy to understand and interpret. The human brain processes visual information better than text, so using charts, graphs and other design elements are more effective. Also of key importance, these dashboards provide end users with the ability to explore their data from high levels of summarization to high levels of detail, gaining insight not previously available in a static report.
Ultimately, the insights from the data have the potential to touch multiple aspects of healthcare: safety and effectiveness of different treatments, outcomes achieved with different delivery models, and predictive models for diagnosing, treating and delivering care. In addition, this data may enhance our understanding of patient behavior, which will help in how we treat diseases and conditions.

Whether its images, music, videos or applications we know that the most important stuff on people's phones is stored in the user memory. The moto g6 play allows you to expand your memory by using a micro SD card.
Insert the tool into the hole in the tray and gently push to pop it out.
Insert or remove the cards as needed.
Push the tray back into the phone.
When you insert an SD card for the first time, you can choose to either use the card as Portable Storage or Internal Storage.
Select this mode if you frequently swap your SD card between devices, use your SD card for media storage only. Select this mode if you want to completely extend your device storage with the card, and need the card to store large applications, games, and their data.
If you frequently swap cards, use SD card to transfer content between devices and do not download many large app, we recommend configuring your card as "portable". If you want to store large games on the card, if your device storage is always filling up, and you plan to always keep this card in the device, we recommend keeping your card as internal.
Only pictures and media can be stored on the card.
Downloaded applications, their data, is always internal. they can not be moved to the card.
Content on the card is not encrypted by default.
The card will NOT be reformatted when Portable storage is selected.
The card is always encrypted, and can not be decrypted on any other device.
The card will be formatted when Portable storage is selected.
We recommend use of a high speed card , such as a UHS-1 type. Class 4 and Class 2 micro SD cards are not recommended for adopted internal storage usage. The performance of these cards is typically 10x slower than internal storage performance.
If your card it too slow, your device will warn your during the adoption process. If you encounter this dialog, we advise to upgrade your card to a UHS-1 card first.
Through the Motorola camera application settings, you can select the default storage for pictures and movies captured through the Motorola camera app. Third party camera might not offer this option.
Once the card has been formatted, you will be asked whether you want to migrate data currently on your device to the card. This step will move all media, pictures, and documents to the SD card.
By selecting where to migrate content, you also select the preferred storage location for all applications, databases and data.
If you decide to move that data to the card, the SD card will also become the preferred storage location for all applications content, data and database and media.
If you decide to skip this step, your device internal storage will remain the preferred storage for all content.
Applications will always store their content in the preferred storage location by default. You will not need to indicate in each application setting where to store content.


On this trip, I visited Kenya between 25-Aug-2018 and 7-Sep-2018 and I travelled alone.
Vary enjoyable given the circumstance, obviously some days very hard as Peter had organised this and he wasn't there to share it.
Only reservation, final camp would have been better if they told me what the routine re securing tents in the evening was - on first night escorted to camp by guard but it was pitch dark and on my one felt a little scared. However they did sort it out for the other nights making sure that the blinds were all down and the lights were left on.
Generally felt very safe despite being on my own.
On this trip, I visited Botswana & Zimbabwe between 16-Sep-2016 and 27-Sep-2016 and I travelled with 4 other people.
It was a very enjoyable trip with good guides, good accommodation and good service.
Regarding the team member below, Tracy continued the good work of Nick Hobbs who left after arranging the trip.

Rise of the Tomb Raider to be Published by Microsoft
Just when you thought that the controversy over bought and paid for third-party console exclusives had regained new life with the announcement that Capcom's Street Fighter V would have console exclusivity on the PS4, the story got bigger. Not only is the sequel to 2013's hit Tomb Raider going to have timed exclusivity on the Xbox One but publishing duties will be handled by Microsoft Studios rather IP holders Square Enix.
The announcement of Rise of the Tomb Raider at this June's E3 was immediately met with controversy when it was announced that the game would be released as a timed exclusive for Xbox platforms with PC and PlayStation gamers having to wait an unspecified length of time before a release on those systems.
In a statement confirming the news, Square Enix said that Microsoft "will get behind this game with more support across development, marketing and retail than ever before."
The implication behind this is that Microsoft is pouring a pile of money into this game. While Square Enix was quick to say that the game failed to meet expectations, as of March, the game was reported to have sold more than 6 million copies in the year since release. Even though Tomb Raider isn't burning a hole in SqEnix's pocket, they're letting Microsoft contribute to the game to the point where they will be funding it along with funding it enough to earn exclusivity rights.
As was the case back in June, this latest news is coming with the rumours that Microsoft wants to position Tomb Raider as a competitor to Uncharted. Naughty Dog's Uncharted is Sony's flagship first-party franchise and the similar genre and gameplay style of Tomb Raider makes it the closest competitor to Uncharted. With Sony expecting Uncharted to be a system seller, a high-quality Tomb Raider game positioned against it in the Holiday 2015 release lineup is designed to attract eyeballs Microsoft's way.
The problem is the needlessness of this agreement. When Bayonetta 2 was announced as a Wii U exclusive, people weren't happy but Nintendo funding it in return for exclusivity was legitimately the only way that the game made. Heck, remember the glory days of Squaresoft when they had PlayStation exclusivity? Sony bought a portion of the company to keep it afloat after they took a beating on Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. In the cases of Rise of the Tomb Raider and now Street Fighter V, it's not really competition but a segregation of the user base.
While I'm always banging on about competition being a good thing, there's a difference between trying to compete with the other console manufacturers and trying to buy your way to victory. One is a time-honoured tradition and the other will be met with scepticism that could be your undoing. Buying established third-party franchises isn't competing. It's just punishing people who love games that picked the wrong console as an early adopter.
And we should be throwing equal blame at Square Enix and Capcom. They did agree to this too, after all.

Somehow November slid past us! Helen and Pop-pop and Robert raked leaves. Samantha and Helen played in them. Marcus took artistic photos of squirrels fattening up for the winter and played with rope knots and trees and sticks and knives, rigging things up in trees with friends and making bows and arrows on his own.
At various points this month, we had a dinner with Bible translators from Northern Thailand during the PSC Missions Conference; we went out to all-you-can-eat sushi with the Wineys and their brother-in-law's family and posed near the Trump "Big Baby" inflatable; we left Helen with my parents and went to see "Potted Potter" (all seven Harry Potter books on stage with two actors in seventy minutes--grand finale, a duet of "I Will Survive" with Harry and Voldemort singing together); and we joined friends for dim sum.
Marcus and Robert went to the Boy Scout flag-burning ceremony on Veterans' Day in a cemetary in West Roxbury, and Samantha made an amazing corn husk doll in Girl Scouts.
Robert declared Veterans' Day (observed) a "Take Your Child to Work" day, and Samantha came into work with him, very productively reading and drawing dragons for much of the day, while of course joining the company for donuts for breakfast and dim sum for lunch. On other days, as weather permits, there have been a few bike-to-school days.
I made hats for Samantha, Helen, and me--Marcus is in a quandary because he wants to match Helen but not Samantha.
Marcus did two more cooking classes on Saturdays--a Moroccan meal one and a Parisian sweets one--and loved both of them.
Despite the early wake-ups, our cellists are doing great in orchestra and private lessons. Samantha graduated to the next-level cello book, and Marcus is getting some lovely sound out of his instrument. On days when they are running early going to orchestra, a Starbucks stop is in the offing, and on Fridays, Samantha and Chloe turned the Parents' Coffee Hour into a Kids' Tea Time.
Marcus's chamber ensembles (four of them) opened for the Boston Symphony Orchestra chamber ensemble at a BSO Community Engagement concert at Bunker Hill Community College this month. It was pretty cool to have their photo taken with the real BSO strings players.
Samantha's choir sang in church.
Marcus and Robert went to a Magic night at the local comic book shop.
Helen shrieks with glee when catching sight of a picture of Evie on my phone. "THAT MY FRIEND EVIE!" she yells (because she yells everything...). When we had to bring Evie to daycare one day, she was thrilled to have Evie at our house in the morning and then on the subway with us. People gave us a wiiiiiiiiiide berth: two worn babies, two bigger kids, five bags among us, plus a cello!
Helen hosted innumerable doll picnics and tea parties. Sometimes, the invited guests included "Nana" (Samantha, still) and Pop-pop.
We hosted Thanksgiving at our house with a spatch-cocked turkey dry-brined for fast and flavorful cooking.
On the Friday after Thanksgiving (of course), we participated in the F.A.T. at M.I.T. chain reaction for our fourth time. Our reaction was super cool, and almost successful, and despite the frantic last-minute work, we all had a great time.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we had brunch with friends at our place. Lots of hide and seek and poker and foosball were played, and I made fresh donuts during the party.
Samantha and Roman made ornaments at the Roslindale tree-lighting ceremony, though they missed the dogs-in-holiday-sweaters contest.
Debbie and Chris, in town for the One True Thanksgiving, came over for dinner and we ordered in Thai food and ate and talked and made fun of Canada and wished they'd move back to Boston again. Helen ordered Chris around and placed books in his hand, and he rose to the challenge.
We went to the Museum of Science the Sunday after Thanksgiving, and Robert continued his tradition (you have to scroll down...) of feeding children to dinosaurs. We saw the temporary space exhibit that included a toilet from the space station, among other exciting things, and Marcus broke the record for the day for most weight transported by a soap-dish boat.

Перфорація носової перегородки — утворення стійкого отвору в носовій перегородці, який не заростає самостійно. Стійкий отвір може утворюватися у ділянці хряща, кістки або на їхній межі. Отвір може бути виконаний умисно, наприклад пірсингом у носі, а може мати дистрофічну природу. Дистрофічні причини — порушення чутливих до кровопостачання хрящів перегородки, якими утворена її передня частина. Наприклад, при постійному застосуванні судинозвужуючих крапель, вдиханні кокаїнових наркотичних засобів через ніс, постійне здирання шкірочок-струпів із слизової оболонки носа та поновлення кровотечі, у випадках запальних інфільтратів чи гематом під охрястям після операцій, пірсингу чи травм. У випадках, коли запалення розповсюдилось на хрящ чи наявна перихондральна відшаровуюча охрястя гематома — судини не можуть забезпечити належне кровопостачання хряща, що теж є сприятливим фактором. До фістули можуть призвести ускладнення операцій на носовій перегородці — септопластика або ринопластика, які порушили трофіку хрящів, що не змогла відновитись та спричинила дистрофічні зміни хрящів. Можлива інфекційна природа перфорацій у наслідок дистрофії хрящів від сифілітичного гумозного запалення, при проказі.

Передумови

Хрящі носа, гортані, вушних раковин чутливі до кровопостачання від тонких покривів судин. Передня половина хрящової перегородки носа містить сплетення Кіссельбаха, місце, яке має багато кровоносних судин зразу під слизовою оболонкою і не містить достатньо розвинутого підслизового прошарку. Сплетення забезпечує належну трофіку хрящів перегородки носа: судини підслизового шару тонким сплетінням розміщені одразу у тонкому підслизовому прошарку тому, в умовах постійного охолодження вологої слизової оболонки від вдихів — на них покладена задача забезпечувати інтенсивне кровопостачання хрящів через охрястя. Прилегле до слизової та охрястя розміщення судин дозволяє їм не дивлячись на холодне повітря не спадатись, а порушення цілістності сплетіння, періодичні травми слизової у наслідок , надмірне застосування судиннозвужуючих засобів, пересушування і періодичні кровотечі з пересушеної передньої частини слизової оболонки носа порушують живлення хряща, провокуючи його подальшу дистрофію.

Дослідження невеликої групи пацієнтів, які мали перфорацією носової перегородки, виявило, що приблизно 10 % перфорацій було пов'язано із вживанням кокаїну. Серед тих, які мають кокаїн-індуковану перфорацію, приблизно 70 % перфорацій припадає на хрящову частину, та 30 % на хрящову частину та кістку.,

При третинних формах сифілісу в часи його поширеності та нелікованості, гумозні запальні зміни відігравали аналогічну роль — порушення трофіки хрящів у товщі запального інфільтрату, їх дистрофію, впритул до зникнення частини носової раковини та навіть одягання . Відмінністю з іншими видами дистрофій було те, що запальний інфільтрат та перфорації можна було також виявляти на межі/на кістковій частині, що допомагало встановити діагноз.

Наслідки

Утворення сполучення в ділянці хряща носа змінює пружність чотирикутного хряща, що утримує спинку носа та послаблює решту хрящів. Відсутність судинної сітки зони перетинки сприяє подальшим порушенням трофіки хрящів носової раковини зсередини, і, як наслідок, просідання спинки носа з утворенням деформованого носа, так званого сідлоподібного носа. Подібне сполучення досить важко відкоригувати хірургічно: якщо утворення отвору сталось через трофічні порушення хряща, реконструктивна операція може не дати належного заживлення. Серед негативних наслідків перфорації також спостерігається посвистування при носовому диханні при повному сполученні, а деформована раковина носу ускладнює дихання.

Лікування

Лікування може не проводитися при малих дефектах, якщо стан не погіршує якість життя. Лікування може бути, не рекомендоване якщо регенераційні процеси організму по ряду причин слабкі — заживлення зони оперативного втручання буде сумнівним. Лікування передбачає оголення слизової оболонки ділянки фістули, відмежування п-подібних клаптів слизової оболонки, використання фрагменту реберних хрящів як замісного матеріалу та їхнє взаємне суміщення в області фістули, тампонаду обох носових ходів, комплекс заходів спрямованих на покращення регенеративних та трофічних процесів у ділянці оперативного втручання. У випадку кокаїн-індукованих перфорацій, пацієнт повинен бути усунутий від впливу кокаїну протягом декількох років, постійно залишатися вільним від вживання кокаїну для відновлення умов до оперативних втручань.

TRENTON, NJ - Morris County Senators Joe Pennacchio and Anthony Bucco introduced today a resolution urging the return of Joanne Chesimard from Cuba. Chesimard was convicted of murdering New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster during a 1973 traffic stop on the New Jersey Turnpike. She escaped to Cuba from prison and was granted asylum by Fidel Castro, and the New Jersey State Police and the FBI are offering up to $2 million for information leading to her capture.


Hi, loves! It's time to share our handmade-a-day find. Are you pining over these runners you've been seeing in real weddings? I know I have, so I set out to figure out where to buy romantic chiffon table runners for weddings and events. And I found the most amazing one from VowWowDecor! We love how it looks across this exceptionally beautiful rustic farm table: flowy chiffon, especially in blush pink as shown, is one of the top wedding trends of the year. Instead of scratchy organza that doesn't fold properly and leaves creases, this chiffon is soft, giving it a flowy look that is definitely wow-worthy for weddings.
To use these table runners, there are two ways to style them: either tie the ends off with a ribbon or a chiffon flower clip to create folds, or leave it flowing loose and spilling out onto the floor. That's the look we like best! Can you imagine your head table or reception tables decorated like this? You can get those beautiful candle holders here, and those clear plastic reception chairs are called "phantom chairs", just in case you wanted those, too. Swoon.
To buy these chiffon table runners for your wedding, visit VowWowDecor. While we love them in blush pink, you can find them in a variety of other colors in their shop. They even do custom sizes! Get the details here.

Covid-19 local transmissions rise
29 July 2020 9:17 AM / Arlana Shikongo
by Okeri Ngutjinazo
HEALTH minister Kalumbi Shangula yesterday said new Covid-19 cases reported over the past few weeks mean that people are becoming infected in their localities during their everyday activities.

The country recorded 74 new Covid-19 cases yesterday, which brings the total cases to 1 917 with eight deaths and 104 recoveries.
Shangula said 56 of the new infections were recorded at Walvis Bay, three at Swakopmund, four each in Windhoek and at Rosh Pinah, two each at Oshakati and Rundu and one each at Okahandja, Omaruru and Onandjokwe.
Fifty-four of the new cases are men. Their ages range from 15 to 77.
The minister said it is time for all Namibians to change their behaviour and do everything to reduce risk. This can also be done by assessing how important it is to attend a social gathering.
He noted that the country has seen from Walvis Bay how intense the spread of this virus can be and therefore the regulations should be taken to heart before the situation in communities becomes overwhelming.
"When we go to public places, we should keep it as brief as possible, and we should be diligent with masks for the entire time we are near other people. Those of us who are more vulnerable and those of us who care for vulnerable loved ones should be especially careful," he said.
He added that people older than 65 years and people with pre-existing conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, are much more likely to get very sick or even to die from virus.
Shangula further cautioned regions in stage 4 of the exit plan to be vigilant and not drop their guard during the pandemic.
