Smart manufacturing, also known as Industry 4.0, refers to a wide range of practices that use advanced technologies in a variety of combinations, from robotics and automation to additive manufacturing and cloud computing to big data and analytics.
For mold builders, some of these practices are commonplace, while others have yet to be adopted. However, one approach that virtually all mold manufacturers can benefit from is using real-time production data to make informed decisions and to improve performance.
In theory, this means gaining a unified view of every job across production, which makes it much easier to plan work, adapt to changes and find ways to run the shop floor more efficiently.
In the context of smart manufacturing, it is more appropriate to imagine smart manufacturing's potential impact on the everyday challenges of producing high-quality molds on time and on a budget, rather than a far-away future state that may or may not be feasible for your shop to achieve.
Every shop is familiar with the difficulty of managing the following processes throughout each work day.
Scheduling. Planning and tracking jobs through production can be a challenge because it often involves multiple businesses working on different phases of a mold at different times or in different time zones. In other cases, shops rely on time-consuming, manual processes, such as custom spreadsheets or the more traditional paper-and-pencil method. These elements make it difficult for you to see what is happening at any given moment with any given job.
When you cannot see what jobs are in the process, it becomes that much more difficult for you to predict workloads relative to available capacity. Mismatches can lead to poor scheduling, lower throughput and missed opportunities. Many shops work around this by having someone run from machine to machine checking job status, but that is inefficient and imprecise.
Managing changes. In the real world, manufacturing is rarely a smooth and uninterrupted process that always moves forward as planned. Customers change their orders. Suppliers miss deadlines. Parties do no communicate critical information. Data is inaccurate. CNC machines and tools break. You must deal with these variables quickly, or a waterfall of consequences can turn a small issue into a delay that compromises your shop's profitability or even your reputation.
Improving performance. Reliable data is the foundation of process improvement. Today, it is a constant struggle to find the data that you need on things like downtime durations for machines, cycle times and quality issues. Paper files cannot share information, and many manufacturing software applications are not capable of communicating with each another. Disjointed methods can limit the ability of mold builders to extract and analyze data from multiple concurrent processes. Generating reliable data requires substantial manual data entry. Analyzing that data is even more time-consuming.
The goal of smart manufacturing is to retrieve critical metrics continuously and move them to a central location that is easy for all to access. Ideally, smart manufacturing enables you to identify improvement opportunities more easily, make sure operators are using each machine to its full capacity and even understand which kinds of jobs are the most profitable. Excelling in any one of these areas could give your shop an edge. Improving all three would almost certainly set your shop apart from key competitors.
Cue a single, cloud-based tool for production scheduling, job tracking and CNC machine monitoring. All three of the aforementioned challenges are the result of not knowing something about a process when it would be extremely convenient to know it. A single, cloud-based tool for production scheduling, job tracking and CNC machine monitoring offers a way to solve this problem. It connects machine- and application-level data that you can access through a mobile app or web browser. You can see the value of this approach across the entire shop floor.
Start by eliminating manual processes. This single, cloud-based tool can create digital work instructions, dispatch job sheets, schedule tasks, track jobs, monitor workstations and view performance reports. Once you have created your instructions and dispatched the job sheets to the shop floor, you can track them through production.
With the ability to monitor the status of both job sheets and workstations, you can see at-a-glance which machines are operating, idle or offline and then assign (or reassign) jobs accordingly to optimize utilization, reduce downtime and improve throughput. This makes it easier to spot-check a job's progress against the deadline, especially if the customer changes that deadline midstream.
And, you can capture a "snapshot" of these details to give customers or vendors a progress report at any time. This gives a centralized view of real-time information from the shop floor.
Knowing where everything is at any moment in time has a huge impact on mold manufacturers.
Digital scheduling would help you better manage capacity and make decisions that are based on actual workloads instead of estimates or guesswork. Digital work instructions could reduce the risk of mistakes. And, unplanned downtime at any workstation would be evident, which would enable you to address potential issues more rapidly and reroute other work before bottlenecks occur.
After a job runs, data about how it moved through production provides insight to which job instructions, job sheets and workstations produced the highest-quality mold tools. This kind of analysis could be vital to identifying the source of scrap, rework or other issues. More realistic time-to-market calculations could also improve the accuracy of quotes for similar jobs.
It's also important to automatically generate a detailed product history that facilitates traceability as well as useful information on how your shop manufactured a mold. This could help your shop meet record-keeping requirements. Plus, capturing institutional knowledge about how to make specific parts can be useful if you need to program a similar job in the future.
The realities of discrete manufacturing mean that each day involves multiple decisions. When unplanned machine downtime disrupts production, you ask yourself, Will it be more efficient to move the job or wait for a repair? How long will that repair take? If the repair is successful, how many more jobs can the shop take on today? This week? Typically, you must deal with these situations on the fly, choosing a course of action without the benefit of complete, accurate data from the workstations in question.
It is not just in-progress data that is important, but also the data that lets you understand how your shop floor is performing and that helps incremental process improvement. For example, with a single, cloud-based tool for production scheduling, job tracking and CNC machine monitoring, CAM programmers can gain insight into how CNC machines are actually performing, cross-referencing feeds and speeds to validate machining time, tracking setup times against part programs and seeing how utilization rates are affected by various parameters within an NC program. This information helps identify issues and leads to better tool paths and subsequent NC programs.
Maintenance engineers can view reports of CNC faults or warnings that pop up across machines. From this data, they could understand the need to schedule a machine for maintenance if a warning repeatedly arises. The production schedulers can begin to iteratively optimize their estimated schedules based on data that shows how long jobs take to complete or how long a particular NC program takes to run. This means their future schedules will be a better representation of what is happening on the shop floor.
Higher speed: Fewer or faster rework loops let your shop ship more parts faster. In many situations, speed is a higher priority than cost.
Higher efficiency: Together, better utilization of machines and better optimization of production schedules enables your shop to achieve higher throughput with less effort.
Higher quality: Knowing the details of scrap rates creates opportunities for your shop to resolve problems earlier and apply successes broadly to increase the overall yield of quality.
Higher profitability: Less scrap reduces costs, while improved efficiency and throughput help your shop manage higher workloads and serve more customers.
The value of connecting your manufacturing data collection and integration of various software tools cannot be understated. Even if your approach is limited in scope, the more data you collect now, the more opportunities your shop will have to realize improvements that increase your margins.

Q: Find all the values of $(14-3i)^{1/3}$. I have tried to find it, but I am not understanding what I should do. Please explain in detail.
Thanks in advance.

A: Hint:  if you cube $re^{i\theta}$ you get $r^3e^{3i\theta}$.  You need to go the other direction.  Remember you can wrap around by adding $2\pi$ to the angle.

A: You can think of the question as solving a complex polynomial equation:
$$(14-3i)^{1/3} = ? \leftrightarrow 14-3i = z^3 \leftrightarrow z^3 - (14-3i) = 0$$
Since all complex polynomials with degree $n$ have $n$ complex roots (fundamental theory of algebra), the given polynomial has to have $3$ roots (maybe some with multiplicity $\ge 1$):
$$\exists z_1,z_2,z_3 \in \Bbb{C}: \quad\begin{align} & z_1^3 - (14-3i) = 0 \\ & z_2^3 - (14-3i) = 0 \\ & z_3^3 - (14-3i) = 0 \end{align}$$
Here is the trick to find them: write up $z^3$ as:
$$z^3 = (a+bi)^3 = (a^2+2abi-b^2)(a+bi) = a^3-3ab^2+3a^2bi-b^3i$$
Substitue $z^3 = 14-3i$ and group up the right side into real and imaginary terms:
$$14-3i = (a^3-3ab^2)+(3a^2b-b^3)i$$
Since real and imaginary terms cannot mix, we get two equations:
\begin{align}14 &= a^3-3ab^2 \\
3 &= 3a^2b-b^3\end{align}
Since as I've mentioned before, we are looking for $3$ roots, this will (unfortunately) lead to a cubic equation. (However, we know that all three solutions have to be real, which helps a lot.) So solving this, we get the answers of:
$$a_1 \approx -1.35897, b_1 \approx 2.01236$$
$$a_2 \approx -1.06327, b_2 \approx -2.18308$$
$$a_3 \approx 2.42224, b_3 \approx 0.170721i$$
So our three complex solutions are:
$$(14-3i)^{1/3} \approx \begin{align} & -1.35897 + 2.01236i, \\ & -1.06327 -2.18308i,& \\ & \quad 2.42224 + 0.170721i.\end{align}$$
Try raising any of these solutions to the $3$rd power! You'll get (approximately) $14-3i$.

A: we can let:
$$z_0=14-3i$$
this can be represented in polar coordinates as follows:
$$r=\sqrt{14^2+3^2}=\sqrt{205}$$
$$\theta=-\arctan\left(\frac{3}{14}\right)\approx-0.211$$
$$\therefore z_0=\sqrt{205}e^{-0.211i}$$
When we take roots of a complex number they will be equally spaced in a circle, with the same $r_i$ but a different $\theta_i$. These roots can be expressed as:
$$\left(\sqrt{205}e^{-0.211i}\right)^{1/3}=205^{1/6}e^{\frac{-0.211}{3}+\frac{2\pi n}{3}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,n=[0,1,2]$$
so we can say our three roots are:
$$z_1=205^{1/6}\exp\left(-\frac{0.211}{3}\right)$$
$$z_2=205^{1/6}\exp\left(-\frac{0.211}{3}+\frac{2\pi}{3}\right)$$
$$z_3=205^{1/6}\exp\left(-\frac{0.211}{3}+\frac{4\pi}{3}\right)$$
Now you can work out the exact values if you need using:
$$e^{ix}=\cos(x)+i\sin(x)$$

Q&A: Gergely Wootsch demystifies the Magna Carta
For the British Library's "Magna Carta: Law, Liberty, Legacy" exhibition, director Gergely Wootsch explains the history and importance of the document with his trademark wit and style.
Rich blues and reds anchor the compositions, bringing to mind medieval tapestries and coats of arms, while watercolor-like textures and painterly brushstrokes ground everything in the same humanistic spirit as the great document itself.
Gergely was kind enough to answer some questions about the making of these two visual essays.
Q&A with director Gergely Wootsch
How did this project come about? Did the British Library reach out to you directly or did they go through Beakus?
The British Library got in touch with the studio directly. I think they liked the Penny Dreadful films we made earlier, which makes me assume they had their eyes on me from the onset.
Speaking of Beakus, how long have you been on their roster? And how did you find each other?
I was signed in early 2012, shortly after I graduated. I was working there as a freelance character animator for a few months and Steve [Smith], the head of studio, asked me if I was keen on being represented. I said yes.
The total runtime of the two Magna Carta animations is over 7 minutes long. That's quite long! Was that the original plan? If so, were you worried about the amount of work involved?
It should suffice to say, I was not unaware of the total runtime.
When we made the Penny Dreadful promos, it was a challenging project because of the time constraints. So here we were with a lovely museum commission referencing that very project stylistically — but with less resources available.
There was some considerable panic on my part, but luckily it all worked out ok in the end.
How long did the entire production take?
It was a long process but a relatively short production schedule. I knew months in advance we would be making the films, but the project picked pace up slowly.
We concluded pre-production (scripts, VO recording and animatics) before Christmas. Then I had a head-start for making the designs; production started the second week of January. We delivered the films the first week of March. I did feel like a marathon of a sprint.
Where did these spots "air"? Online? At the museum exhibit?
The two films are available online on the British Library's website but I'm not sure about what future use, if any, they had in mind. There was a brief mention of using them as a learning resource, which would be quite cool.
Where did the script come from and how finished was it when you first saw it?
A close-to-finished voiceover script was provided by the client. I thought it was interesting how careful they were to get historical elements accurate. In a few cases, this meant the script ended up being too lengthy, so we suggested revisions, and they considered them. Soon enough, we agreed on a final draft and recorded Terry Jones [of Monty Python fame] at the British Library.
I spent a few days editing the raw recording takes to incorporate last-minute revisions. I did find piecing the VO track together an oddly enjoyable bit of the production!
I then responded to the VO script with a written breakdown of the shots (bit like story-beats) and created the storyboards based on these.
When did you start creating style frames for the project? And how did you arrive at your style?
We sent through initial design-frames before Christmas, and luckily the Library liked them. I had this idea of using painterly textures or strokes to allude to the Penny Dreadful films, which kept coming up as reference. But I thought using watercolour-like elements would help us depart from that world. Likewise, they were keen on keeping the mood more gothic but I didn't feel that would work very well, after all, they had a younger audience in mind.
Stylistically, who or what were some of your inspirations?
I was doing a fair bit of research and found these great images of Medieval ornaments. I think most of the vibe comes from those. For instance, the idea of the border is a reference to this old famous image of King John on his horse.

You're Hungarian born, right? Hungary has produced many master animators, and it's KAFF festival is hugely important for animation. Do you think your Hungarian roots influence your animation sensibilities?
I'm 29 years old. I spent 21 in Hungary and the rest here in the UK. I feel the past few years have had a bigger influence than the years preceding. It turns out moving to London was one of my best decisions. But perhaps sensibilities are more profound.
I remember this postcard from my childhood of Marcell Jankovics' János Vitéz.
I loved the designs, in spite of finding it intimidating. Possibly, experiences like this bubble up when designing something related.
There are several visual metaphors throughout the project. That's a hallmark of yours, I'd say. Those can be quite tricky to work out. Did you spend a lot of time on those?
No, not a great deal of time. I found some of the ideas Magna Carta sparked, such as the South-African passive-resistance movement, hard to pin-down as a single "lighthearted" image. So for instance, I thought about this tree as an element you could associate with the values of Magna Carta, if you fancied reading that into it.
"I thought about this tree as an element you could associate with the values of Magna Carta, if you fancied reading that into it."
Personally, it sometimes feels like cheating a bit, like saying, "Sorry, I couldn't think of anything else. Have a look at this… tree!"
The painterly style is quite engaging, but it also looks very time consuming. How did you achieve that look?
Turns out feeding unicorn tears to animators increases work productivity. Also, everyone worked quite hard, and Marcus is scarily quick to block and artwork everything.
We animated in Flash/Photoshop. Often the block shapes would be animated in Flash, and the painterly details were added in Photoshop as a second pass.
I developed some tools too to help with exporting from Photoshop and Flash in layers, which helped heaps when it came to comping. I will actually post these up onto my site, so keep your eyes open if interested. The GW Export tool is now available.
Do you have a favorite moment? Why?
I like how the first film ("What is Magna Carta?") turned out over all. There was enough time to plan and design it properly and I like how some of the character animation ended up. The second film was a bit more rushed, so my memory is less pleasant.
If time and money weren't an issue, what would be your dream project?
I would love to make another short film and team up with a bunch of talented people.
Right now, I'm in the midst of planning my move to Barcelona. After the London solar-eclipse fiasco this morning, I decided I've had enough. (Kidding, kidding.) I was offered 6 months worth of work on a feature film there. After that, I'll return home to London. It's all very exciting.

ENTRESTO is usually administered in conjunction with other heart failure therapies, in place of an ACE inhibitor or other ARB.
WARNING: FETAL TOXICITY
When pregnancy is detected, discontinue ENTRESTO as soon as possible
Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus
ENTRESTO is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any component. ENTRESTO is contraindicated in patients with a history of angioedema related to previous angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) therapy. ENTRESTO is contraindicated with concomitant use of ACE inhibitors. Do not administer within 36 hours of switching from or to an ACE inhibitor. ENTRESTO is contraindicated with concomitant use of aliskiren in patients with diabetes.
Angioedema: ENTRESTO may cause angioedema. Angioedema associated with laryngeal edema may be fatal. ENTRESTO has been associated with a higher rate of angioedema in Black patients and in patients with a prior history of angioedema. ENTRESTO should not be used in patients with hereditary angioedema. If angioedema occurs, discontinue ENTRESTO immediately, provide appropriate therapy, and monitor for airway compromise. ENTRESTO must not be re-administered.
Hypotension: ENTRESTO lowers blood pressure and may cause symptomatic hypotension. Patients with an activated renin-angiotensin system, such as volume- and/or salt-depleted patients (e.g., those being treated with high doses of diuretics), are at greater risk. Correct volume or salt depletion prior to administration of ENTRESTO or start at a lower dose. If hypotension persists despite dose adjustment of diuretics, concomitant antihypertensive drugs, and treatment of other causes of hypotension (e.g., hypovolemia) reduce the dosage or temporarily discontinue ENTRESTO. Permanent discontinuation of therapy is usually not required.
Impaired Renal Function: Decreases in renal function may be anticipated in susceptible individuals treated with ENTRESTO. In patients whose renal function depends upon the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (e.g., patients with severe congestive heart failure), treatment with ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor antagonists has been associated with oliguria, progressive azotemia and, rarely, acute renal failure and death. Closely monitor serum creatinine, and down-titrate or interrupt ENTRESTO in patients who develop a clinically significant decrease in renal function.
ENTRESTO may increase blood urea and serum creatinine levels in patients with bilateral or unilateral renal artery stenosis. In patients with renal artery stenosis, monitor renal function. Avoid use with aliskiren in patients with renal impairment (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2).
In patients who are elderly, volume-depleted (including those on diuretic therapy), or with compromised renal function, concomitant use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including COX-2 inhibitors, with ENTRESTO may result in worsening of renal function, including possible acute renal failure. These effects are usually reversible. Monitor renal function periodically.
Hyperkalemia: Hyperkalemia may occur with ENTRESTO. Monitor serum potassium periodically and treat appropriately, especially in patients with risk factors for hyperkalemia such as severe renal impairment, diabetes, hypoaldosteronism, or a high potassium diet. Dosage reduction or interruption of ENTRESTO may be required.
Concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride), potassium supplements, or salt substitutes containing potassium may lead to increases in serum potassium.
ARBs: Avoid use of ENTRESTO with an ARB, because ENTRESTO contains the angiotensin II receptor blocker valsartan.
Lithium: Increases in serum lithium concentrations and lithium toxicity have been reported during concomitant administration of lithium with angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Monitor serum lithium levels during concomitant use with ENTRESTO.
Common Adverse Events: In a clinical trial, the most commonly observed adverse events with ENTRESTO vs enalapril, occurring at a frequency of at least 5% in either group, were hypotension (18%, 12%), hyperkalemia (12%, 14%), cough (9%, 13%), dizziness (6%, 5%) and renal failure/acute renal failure (5%, 5%).

Background and aims – The coastal dry forests and woodlands of Cabo Delgado Province (Mozambique), part of the proposed Rovuma Centre of Endemism that is shared with coastal southern Tanzania, are known to support high numbers of endemic and highly range-restricted species. Here we investigate the taxonomic status of three taxa that were discovered and highlighted as potential novelties during botanical surveys of northeast Cabo Delgado in 2003–2012.
Methods – This study was based on standard practices of herbarium taxonomy and morphological analyses. The conservation (extinction risk) assessments are based on application of the Categories and Criteria of the IUCN Red List.
Key results – Three new species are described, all of which are currently thought to be endemic to Cabo Delgado Province and recorded from the area around the coastal town of Palma and/or inland along the lower Rovuma River Escarpment. Casearia celastroides I.Darbysh. & J.E.Burrows (Salicaceae), the smallest African member of its genus, is assessed as globally Endangered. Convolvulus goyderi J.R.I.Wood (Convolvulaceae), which, in contrast, has the largest flowers in its genus in tropical Africa, is known only from the type collection and is assessed as Data Deficient (DD) but could potentially be threatened. Vitex franceseana I.Darbysh. & Goyder (Lamiaceae) is also assessed as globally Endangered. Crossopetalum mossambicense I.Darbysh., a species previously thought to be endemic to Cabo Delgado, is reported for the first time in neighbouring southeast Tanzania. A review of new species discoveries from Mozambique since 2010 reveals that 26 species (one third of the newly published species) are derived from the forests and woodlands of the Rovuma Centre of Endemism, which is a critical area for plant conservation in Mozambique.

Ok, we changed our minds and are making a trailer smoker first for our brand new teams first comp in early August.
As you can see we are well underway.
The offset has been finished since these pics (only chimney to be finished there).
There will also be a wood basket with a stainless work/prep bench as a lid on the other side.
A sink with a 12v pump and a stainless water tank on the end of the wood basket as well.
And that is pretty much everything.
We have painted the firebox and cooking chamber, then we had our first fire in her to cure the paint and the oil we rubbed everywhere on the inside.
She stayed steady at about 200F for about 3 hours then we cranked her up to about 300F for another hour or so.
We used much less wood than I thought we would for such a big unit.
Next time I want to make a bigger fire and see what she can go to.
No pictures this time as its just the bare trailer and pit.
Once all the other goodies are mounted I will post some done pictures.

Pregnancy outcomes in the omalizumab pregnancy registry and a disease-matched comparator cohort
Namazy, J. A., Blais, L., Andrews, E. B., Scheuerle, A. E., Cabana, M. D., Thorp, J. M., Umetsu, D. T., Veith, J. H., Sun, D., Kaufman, D. G., Covington, D. L., Mukhopadhyay, S., Fogel, R. B., Lopez-Leon, S., & Spain, C. V. (2020). Pregnancy outcomes in the omalizumab pregnancy registry and a disease-matched comparator cohort. The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 145(2), 528-536.e1. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaci.2019.05.019
BACKGROUND: The Observational Study of the Use and Safety of Xolair (omalizumab) during Pregnancy (EXPECT) pregnancy registry was a prospective observational study established in 2006 to evaluate perinatal outcomes in pregnant women exposed to omalizumab and their infants.
OBJECTIVE: This analysis compares EXPECT outcomes with those from a disease-matched population of pregnant women not treated with omalizumab. Data from a substudy of platelet counts among newborns are also presented.
METHODS: The EXPECT study enrolled 250 women with asthma exposed to omalizumab during pregnancy. The disease-matched external comparator cohort of women with moderate-to-severe asthma (n = 1153), termed the Quebec External Comparator Cohort (QECC), was created by using data from health care databases in Quebec, Canada. Outcome estimates were age adjusted based on the maternal age distribution of the EXPECT study.
RESULTS: Among singleton infants in the EXPECT study, the prevalence of major congenital anomalies was 8.1%, which was similar to the 8.9% seen in the QECC. In the EXPECT study 99.1% of pregnancies resulted in live births, which was similar to 99.3% in the QECC. Premature birth was identified in 15.0% of EXPECT infants and 11.3% in the QECC. Small for gestational age was identified in 9.7% of EXPECT infants and 15.8% in the QECC.
CONCLUSION: There was no evidence of an increased risk of major congenital anomalies among pregnant women exposed to omalizumab compared with a disease-matched unexposed cohort. Given the observational nature of this registry, however, an absence of increased risk with omalizumab cannot be definitively established.

Canada's Position on the Vietnam War
RICK MASSIMO
... Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
It's commonly believed in the U.S. that Canada was strictly neutral during the Vietnam War; indeed, thousands of young Americans opposed to the war headed across the border rather than face the draft. But while Canada was a non-belligerent nation, and the populace was largely against the war, the government was more involved than many realize.
Diplomatic Aid
Material Assistance
American Draft Resisters
Canadians in Vietnam
1 Diplomatic Aid
From 1954 to 1973, Canada was a member of the International Control Commission, which oversaw truce agreements in Vietnam and was limited to neutral nations. However, historians, including Victor Levant, found that Canada often assisted the U.S. clandestinely. They passed classified ICC information to the United States; consistently took an American-South Vietnamese viewpoint when it came to human rights violations; and in 1962 signed a trumped-up report that claimed communist North Vietnam had provoked an insurrection in South Vietnam, a report that the United States used to widen the war. The release of what came to be known as the Pentagon Papers revealed many ways in which Canada aided the United States diplomatically. In May 1964, for example, Prime Minister Pearson told Washington "he would understand" if the U.S. began bombing the North, although other observers say this statement could be interpreted in different ways.
2 Material Assistance
While Canada sent no men or munitions directly to Vietnam, the country's humanitarian aid -- totaling $29 million -- was sent only to South Vietnam, and was directed through the U.S. State Department and the Pentagon. Indeed, the Canadian government more than once stopped shipments of aid to North Vietnam. Canadian manufacturers sold $2.5 billion of supplies such as napalm, ammunition and explosives to the U.S. armed forces, and more than $10 billion of other supplies such as food, clothing and raw materials. Canadian assistance included training as well -- American pilots practiced bombing techniques at sites in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the defoliant Agent Orange was tested in New Brunswick.
3 American Draft Resisters
Canada was not an official participant in the war, and many young American men took advantage of Canada's official neutrality and headed across the border to avoid U.S. military service. There are no official figures on how many draft resisters ended up in Canada; a "Chicago Tribune" report in 1985 put the number between 10,000 and 100,000. In 1977, U.S. president Jimmy Carter granted amnesty for American "draft dodgers" to return to their home country; it's estimated that about two-thirds went back.
4 Canadians in Vietnam
While some Americans headed for Canada to avoid U.S. military service, there was a flow in the opposite direction -- an estimated 30,000 Canadians crossed the border to serve with U.S. forces in Vietnam. Ray Heimes, an American Vietnam veteran, told "The Prince George Citizen" in 2012 that he fought alongside many Canadians. Some were attracted by the chance to see the world, he said; some wanted to keep up with the military tradition of their fathers and grandfathers; some just needed a job. Heimes added that Canadians looking to fight in Vietnam who lived close to the border would use an American friend's address, or a U.S. post-office box, as their address for residency purposes. The Canadian Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Windsor, Ontario memorializes 125 Canadians killed in Vietnam.

Join the London Pain Consortium's vibrant community of over 20 postgraduate and post doctoral scientists on their well established PhD Programme in Pain Research.
We currently do not have any PhD studentships available.
Year one involves a number of neurobiology and bioinformatics courses and the completion of three rotation projects, where a wide range of neuroscience techniques will be learnt. Students then choose a full research project in pain and a supervisor for the subsequent three years from the Consortium and associated laboratories.
All PhD projects involve collaborations between at least two internationally competitive and well-funded laboratories, with topics covering the whole range of neurosciences related to pain mechanisms and their control: molecular biology, cellular mechanisms, intergrated systmes neuroscience and human neurophysiology.
The emphasis of the programme is to integrate these four approaches so the students are equipped to underake cutting edge research that can be translated into a better understanding and treatment of acute and chronic pain.
There are two Wellcome funded PhD studentships available, with one earmarked for Computational Biology, available in the group of Professor Christine Orengo at UCL.
All applications will be considered for both schemes.

The new CLS Coupé.
Risk an affair.
The original perfected.
The new CLS pioneers the new design idiom of Mercedes-Benz, which is recognisable by its clear contours and reduced lines. Its character is marked by a grille contour that widens towards the base and a forward-slanting front section.
Other features include wide, low-set headlamps and two-section tail lights. At the same time the design reflects the timeless aura of the first CLS, which founded a new segment and quickly became a design icon.
Like its predecessors, the new CLS exudes self-assured sportiness in exemplary style: a highly emotive vehicle offering impressive long-distance and acoustic comfort coupled with thrilling, unrivalled technology.
Exterior: Self-assured sportiness in the style of Mercedes-Benz coupés
"The new CLS is a design icon as the archetype of the four-door coupé. In line with our design philosophy of sensual purity, we have reduced its DNA in an extremely puristic way and at the same time emotionally charged it with elegant beauty", says Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer Daimler AG.
Striking front-end features include the diamond grille typical of Mercedes-Benz coupés, with a single louvre. The silhouette of the radiator grille widens towards the base, resembling the contours of the grille on the Mercedes-AMG GT. The bonnet is completely surrounded by body surfaces. The very flat and wide headlamps with inward-slanting flanks dynamically follow the contour of the grille.
Elegant. Superior. Irresistible: with our well-thought-out equipment packages, you can match your CLS Coupé to your needs in every desired detail. For greater comfort and exclusivity.

When we first met with this couple, we found out that they were looking for a small affordable condo close to the Fred Hutch Research Center. Living quite a ways out of the city, they were looking for a pied-a-terre that the wife could stay in during the week while working at Fred Hutch. They wanted to be close to a bus or the Streetcar for quick and easy access to work.
We focused our attention on South Lake Union and Belltown. After several condo tours these second home buyers decided proximity to the Streetcar was key. So we narrowed in on South Lake Union. Being a newly developing neighborhood there are not that many condo projects there to choose from, only 2200, Veer, and Enso so we focused our tours to those 3 buildings.
In the end, Enso had the perfect home for them. We were able to get the price down on a small open one bedroom unit making it fit in within their financial parameters and therefore fit the bill! They were able to close on this in-city gem in less than a month and move in allowing for many more days of no commute at all!
Enjoy in-city living you two!

Central African Republic: Detain War Crimes Suspect Now
Hassan Bouba Ali (R) with Ali Darassa (C) surrounded by other UPC leaders, during a meeting at their headquarters in Alindao, October 2017.

(Nairobi) – The Central African Republic government should coordinate with United Nations peacekeepers to ensure that war crimes suspect Hassan Bouba, who was released from detention in defiance of court orders and escorted home by national gendarmes on November 26, 2021, is returned to custody, Human Rights Watch said today.
Bouba – a minister and former rebel group leader in the Central African Republic – was arrested on November 19 on war crimes and crimes against humanity charges brought by the country's war crimes court, the Special Criminal Court (SCC). On November 26, according to a press release published by the SCC, national gendarmes escorted Bouba out of the Camp de Roux prison where he was detained and took him to his home. Bouba was scheduled to appear before the SCC on November 26 for a custody hearing but did not do so.
"If the Central African Republic wants to address impunity for atrocities, the government needs to support the Special Criminal Court and Bouba's immediate re-arrest," said Elise Keppler, associate international justice director at Human Rights Watch. "Allowing Bouba to be released in defiance of the Special Criminal Court's orders undermines efforts to advance justice and increases the possibility that he could flee. International partners – including the US and French governments, the European Union, and the UN peacekeeping forces – should insist the court's orders are followed and that Bouba is taken back into custody as soon as possible, to face due process."

Q: How can I change the main heading of the plot of rasterbrick? I have a rasterbrick comprising of six layers
class       : RasterBrick
dimensions  : 47, 89, 4183, 6  (nrow, ncol, ncell, nlayers)
resolution  : 0.5, 0.5  (x, y)
extent      : 60.75, 105.25, 15.75, 39.25  (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
coord. ref. : NA
data source : in memory
names       :
min values  :         0,         0,         0,         0,         0,         0
max values  :  22.84560,   9.63050,  28.18740,  12.90590,  51.66701,  319.83840
But when I plot the sixth variable, it shows the main heading as VegCX2X0.7, but I want to change it to "Aboveground Biomass Carbon", so I do the following basic code :
plot(try3,6,  col=mycol, main=" Aboveground Biomass", legend.args=list(text='Aboveground Carbon Biomass(MgC/ha)', side=4, font=2, line=2.5, cex=0.8))
But the new heading doesnt show up, in fact no heading is not shown. How can i fix this?

A: Always try to come up with a reproducible example to get the best answer (see here). Suppose this is your raster brick:
library(raster)

#reproducible example
set.seed(987)

# setting up list pf raster stacks
r1 <- raster(nrows = 1, ncols = 1, res = 0.5, xmn = -1.5, xmx = 1.5, ymn = -1.5, ymx = 1.5, vals = runif(36, 1, 5))
r.brk <- brick(lapply(1:6, function(i) setValues(r1,runif(ncell(r1)))))
names(r.brk) <- c("VegC",     "LittC",    "SoilfC",    "SoilsC",     "Total", "VegCX2X0.7")

you can change the name of rasters by:
names(r.brk) <- c("n1",     "n2",    "n3",    "n4",     "n5", "Aboveground Biomass")
plot(r.brk) #plot them in a group by their name as main title

As you have limitations for choosing names, you can also change the main while plotting them as a group:
plot(r.brk, main=c("n1",     "n2",    "n3",    "n4",     "n5", "Aboveground Biomass Carbon"))

or you can change the main plot title while plotting any of them separately as below:
plot(r.brk$Aboveground.Biomass, main="Aboveground Biomass Carbon")

Every now and then I get a craving for beef. I usually take it as a sign that my body is needing it and I do my best to listen to my body's needs and nurture them as best as I can.
Well, the other day this craving hit as I was browsing through Pinterest. I stumbled upon a recipe for beef barbacoa from this site, and I knew I had to give it a shot. This particular recipe I found has you braising the beef in the oven all day, but since I was going to be at work and that wasn't possible for me, I pulled out the trusty crock pot to get the job done.
I used some pieces of this recipe and some from this one to create my spicy beef barbacoa.
The preparation was so simple. I began by pureeing together chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic, lime juice, and red wine vinegar. Once that was all pureed and blended together I set it aside.
On the stove top, I did a quick pan-sear on each side of the 1.5 lb chuck roast over high heat, using tongs to rotate the meat. Once all sides were seared, I placed the meat into the crock pot, topped it with the chipotle sauce, and then added the rest of the seasonings (recipe below) as well as a touch of chicken bone broth. I was so close to opening up a container of beef broth to use in this recipe but decided against it as I had a whole container of homemade chicken bone broth waiting for me in the fridge, plus I only needed a small amount of broth.
Next is the easiest part. I covered the crock pot, and set it on low for 8 hours. I gave it 2-3 stirs throughout the entire cooking process. After 8 hours, I removed the meat and placed it on a cutting board, removed excess fat, shredded the meat, then added back to the crock pot.
We charred up a few corn tortillas over the stove, plated the tortillas, topped them with beef barbacoa, cilantro, diced white onion, and tomatillo salsa.
Then it was go time. Spicy go time!
These were incredible. The flavors were so vibrant and a medium amount of spicy kick really made the dish exciting. We felt like we were eating straight out of a professional food truck!
These are so simple to make but present themselves as fancy and time-consuming. This would be a great meal for entertaining, just make sure your guests can handle a little bit of heat!
On the stove top, pan sear each side of the roast over high heat.
Transfer roast to crock pot.
In a mini food processor, blend together chipotle peppers, sauce, vinegar, lime juice, and garlic. Pour into crock pot.
Add cumin, oregano, cinnamon, bay leaves and broth to the crock pot. Cover and turn on low for 8 hours.
Remove roast from pot and remove excess fat if desired. Use two forks to shred the beef, then add it back into the crock pot.
Arrange tortillas on a plate, top with beef, next diced onion, cilantro, and salsa. Devour.
Can you handle a little heat?!

BOSTON >> The Green are getting greener.
The move turns the tradition-bound franchise over to a mentor who is younger than Garnett and wasn't yet born when Bill Russell won his 11th NBA championship in 1969 (or even when John Havlicek added two more in the 1970s). It's the first time the Celtics have hired a college coach since Rick Pitino in 1997, and their first coach with no NBA experience of any kind since Alvin "Doggie" Julian gave way to Red Auerbach in 1950.
Stevens has spent the last six years as the coach of Butler, leading the Bulldogs to back-to-back national championship games in 2010 and '11. He has a career winning percentage of .772 and never won fewer than 22 games in a season.
He takes over a team that is three seasons removed from an appearance in the NBA finals; the Celtics won their unprecedented 17th championship in 2008. But with Garnett and Pierce showing signs of slowing down in this year's playoffs, when Boston was eliminated by the New York Knicks in the first round, Ainge has decided to rebuild.
At Butler, Stevens was 166-49 -- the most wins for any Division I coach in the first six years of his career. In 2009-10, the Bulldogs went 33-5, including the Horizon League's first 18-0 conference record, a 25-game winning streak and an appearance in the NCAA title game, where they lost to Duke 61-59 when a last-second, half-court shot bounced off the backboard and rim and out.
"Brad has given his talent to our university with exceptional generosity, integrity, and humility," Butler President James M. Danko said, calling Stevens "a beloved member of our community."

Which solutions best support sharing and reuse of code?
March 3, 2022 PLOS Open Code Open Data Open Science
Author: Lauren Cadwallader, Open Research Manager, PLOS
PLOS has released a preprint and supporting data on research conducted to understand the needs and habits of researchers in relation to code sharing and reuse as well as to gather feedback on prototype code notebooks and help determine strategies that publishers could use to increase code sharing.
Our previous research led us to implement a mandatory code sharing policy at PLOS Computational Biology in March 2021 to increase the amount of code shared alongside published articles. As well as exploring policy to support code sharing, we have also been collaborating with NeuroLibre, an initiative of the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform, to learn more about the potential role of technological solutions for enhancing code sharing. Neurolibre is one of a growing number of interactive or executable technologies for sharing and publishing research, some of which have become integrated with publishers' workflows.
Early conversations with researchers about the NeuroLibre notebook prototypes suggested we needed to better understand code sharing and reuse from the perspective of both readers and authors. In February 2021 we launched a survey to gather the views of researchers in computational biology and related disciplines. 188 respondents completed the survey.
What did we learn about readers?
Three-quarters of the respondents told us they look at code associated with a research paper at least occasionally, with 39% looking at code frequently or very frequently. Only 6% said they never looked at the associated code, demonstrating that openly available code is valuable to other researchers.
The most common reason (70%) respondents gave for looking at the code was to aid their understanding of the article. Just under half of respondents (48%) want to reuse the code in some way, for example directly reusing the code or reusing selected parts of the code.
A 'Link to code repository' (for example Github or Bitbucket) was rated as the most useful method for accessing others' code and had almost been universally encountered (98%). Aside from 'Available on request', respondents rated 'Link to a website' and 'executable code capsule in the research article' as the least useful methods of accessing code.
Mean usefulness of different methods of code sharing. A score of zero equates to 'not at all useful' and 100 equals 'extremely useful'. The mean values are given above the bars. Error bars show the 95% confidence interval.
What did we learn about authors?
Our survey explored how important certain tasks are to researchers when sharing code, and how satisfied they are with their ability to complete them. Overall, authors of articles with associated code are satisfied with their own ability to carry out many code sharing related tasks. Being able to ensure that 'Readers can easily run the code in the correct environment', and 'The data and code are in the same place', had the lowest satisfaction scores, implying there may be opportunities for better tools (solutions) to support researchers with these tasks.
The majority of respondents reported that they spend more than one day preparing code for sharing alongside a publication. Using new tools or platforms for preparing and sharing code alongside a publication can require additional costs – in terms of time and effort – but there was no consensus, from our results, on whether researchers might be willing to spend additional time on using a tool, e.g. a notebook, to improve the utility of the code they are sharing.
Technological and cultural solutions
The findings of our survey have shown us that whilst researchers recognise the benefits that using code sharing technology bring, such as sharing data and code in the correct environment and allowing readers to easily change parameters, there may be insufficient incentives for researchers to carry out these tasks routinely when publishing in a journal. Most researchers in our survey appear to be satisfied with the community norm of sharing code via a code repository. While technological solutions could help researchers in other ways, to support our goal of increasing sharing and reuse of code, PLOS Computational Biology's focus on the "cultural solution" of a mandatory policy seems to be the optimal approach.

Q: Spring security not hitting default-target-url after successful authtication I have implemented spring-security in my application, my spring-security.xml has following form-login tag.
<form-login login-page="/login.htm" default-target-url="/dashboard.htm"
            authentication-failure-url="/login.htm?error=true"
            authentication-success-handler-ref="authenticationSuccessHandler" />

I want to login from /login.htm and after successful authetication I want user to hit dashboard.htm. Everythig is working fine except for the fact that after successfull authetication it doesn't hit /dashboard.htm but hits the context..but if I manually type dashboard.htm in url then everything works fine...Yes..I have the implementation of authticationSuccessHandler.

A: <beans:bean id="loginSuccessHandler" class="com.example.LoginSuccessHandler">
    <beans:property name="defaultTargetUrl" value="/security/success"/>
    <beans:property name="alwaysUseDefaultTargetUrl" value="true"/>
</beans:bean>

public class LoginSuccessHandler extends SavedRequestAwareAuthenticationSuccessHandler {

     @Override
     public void onAuthenticationSuccess(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
                                    Authentication authentication) throws ServletException, IOException {
         request.getSession().setMaxInactiveInterval(60 * 60); //one hour
         System.out.println("Session set up for 60min");
         super.onAuthenticationSuccess(request, response, authentication);
      }
}

A: I use this suggestion from the question spring is not redirecting to default target url?.  I tried this and it is working.
<form-login login-page="/login.htm"
default-target-url="/dashboard.htm"
always-use-default-target="true"/>

A: Try removing the default-target-url attribute and add the following:
<b:bean id="authenticationSuccessHandler" class="com.example.CustomSimpleURLAuthenticationSuccessHandler">
    <b:property name="defaultTargetUrl" value="/dashboard.htm"/>
</b:bean>

A: As you can see in the image, there is some kind of bad design (IMO It always redirect to the default-target-url).
When you go to the login form from a forbidden resource, it will redirect you to that URL and not going thru the default-target-url

Muslim civil rights group accepts invite to W.Va. Capitol
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The nation's largest Muslim civil rights organization says it has accepted an invitation from West Virginia lawmakers to visit the state Capitol in the wake of an Islamophobic display outside the House of Delegates chamber.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations made the announcement Wednesday in a statement that didn't indicate when the visit would take place.
Wayne County Democrat Ken Hicks wrote a March 8 letter signed by other delegates to CAIR national board chair Roula Allouch extending the invitation.
A poster falsely connected a U.S. congresswoman to the 2001 U.S. terrorist attacks and was part of a group's March 1 display during the legislature's "GOP Day." The poster bore an image of the burning World Trade Center juxtaposed with a picture of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Somali-American and one of the first Muslim congresswomen ever elected.

Loosely borrowed from the book of Cheten Bhagat's Five Point Someone, Rajkumar Hirani's 3 Idiots is told in flashback mode by one of the 3 Idiots, Farhan (Madhavan). It's a tale about three friends- Rancho (Aamir Khan), Farhan (R Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman Joshi) studying in Imperial College of Engineering.
Rancho hails from a rich family and also is the rebel and leader among three 3 idiots (as the principal Viru Sahasrabuddhe, alias Virus played superbly by Boman Irani calls them).
Rancho always is up to some mischief or the other and that's put him in loggerheads with his Principal, Viru Sahasrabuddhe (Boman Irani) whom Racho calls Virus. Rancho believes his teaching is old fashioned and thinks education should be for the pursuit of knowledge and not the pursuit of success. And in the process he earns the principal's wrath. But despite his naughtiness and carefree nature, Rancho surprises everyone by topping his class. And eventually the director's daughter Pia (Kareena Kapoor) falls for his charm.
The twist comes in the film with Rancho mysteriously disappearing after his final graduation. And years later, his 2 Idiots, Farhan and Raju go searching for him.
Raju Hirani superbly delivers yet another monster hit and again proves when it comes to intelligent filmmaking; he's truly the king of Bollywood. Hirani's excellence begins with the right casting in the role of 3 Idiots. Just 3 films old, Hirani has developed a unique art of incisive characterisations and all his films, right from his highly entertaining Munnabhai series to 3 Idiots have realistic dialogues and appealing performances. And now the scary question for Raju Hirani is, what's next for Raju…. how can he better this?
The credit goes to Hirani and Joshi for this achievement. The supremely talented duo takes us on a rollercoaster ride and back to our college days. The screenplay is alive with right twist and turns. It's packed with right ingredients. 3 Idiots' main strength lies in its powerful screenplay loosely adapted from Chetan Bhagat best selling book. Though Aamir Khan, Maddy and Sharman are the heroes, as a screenplay and script writers, Hirani and Joshi are the main heroes of the film. In Munnabhai they had given a phrase, Jadoo ki Jhappi, followed by Gandhigiri in Lage Raho Munnabhai and All Izz Well in 3 Idiots, which is likely to become a craze after this movie.
The only disappointing part of the film is Shantanu Moitra's non inspiring music, except for the emotional 'Give Me Some Sunshine', and the peppy 'All Is Well', there's nothing to sing aloud about.
Madhavan is just perfect for his role and as the narrator of the film, while Sharman proves his brilliance once again. Check out his breakdown scenes. Boman once again proves to be a lucky mascot for his producers (he's the only constant factor in all Hirani's film). He is superb as the eccentric principal. Though Kareena's role is limited, she once again proves that she is the best. Though the film belongs to everyone, right from Madhavan, Sharman, Kareena, Boman down to sly, NRI guy, Chatur Ramalingam to the little boy millimeter, the heart and soul of the film is Aamir Khan. He is truly the undisputed perfectionist Khan. He is a true master of his craft, undoubtedly the No. 1 Idiot.
