H.O.P.E. and Safari Club International Foundation Announce New Partnership
Washington, DC – Joseph Hosmer, President Safari Club International Foundation (SCI Foundation) and Scott Throckmorton, CEO Humanitarian Operations Protecting Elephants (H.O.P.E.) jointly announced that SCI Foundation and H.O.P.E. signed a Memorandum of Understanding to join forces in support of anti-poaching, anti-wildlife trafficking, wildlife conservation and humanitarian efforts in Africa. This new partnership will promote the concept of sustainable use in conservation and facilitate effective solutions to end the plight of poaching.
Both 501(c)(3) nonprofit charities share the goal of combatting poaching through community engagement and creating incentives for local people to conserve wildlife. With the authorization of African governments, H.O.P.E. works to provide professional training, advisory, assistance and locating services to anti-poaching units in Africa. SCI Foundation funds and directs worldwide programs dedicated to wildlife conservation and works with both US and African government leaders to facilitate effective wildlife policy.
"H.O.P.E. has tremendous experience working at the highest levels of governments as well as local communities to provide resources needed to effectively prevent and disrupt illicit wildlife trafficking; with our combined knowledge we are sure to make an impact," SCI Foundation President, Joseph Hosmer said. "Anti-Poaching efforts take an immense amount of resources and our joint efforts will create more opportunities to put boots on the ground to save elephants."
SCI Foundation and HOPE understand the importance of sustainable use in conservation. Community-based programs that sustainably utilize natural resources and create value for wildlife give people incentives to conserve wildlife.
"Research and experience shows that the sustainable use of wildlife is a key component of successful anti-poaching strategies," said J. Scott Throckmorton, CEO of HOPE. "Sustainable use empowers rural African communities to manage the animals they share the landscape with in a way that is regulated, profitable and encourages conservation of the species. This kind of empowerment makes it more difficult for poaching networks to gain a foothold in the places where elephants are found. SCI Foundation is the world leader in promoting sustainable use and is a natural fit for our work to end Africa's poaching crisis."
Through a mixture of enforcement and economic development, H.O.P.E. and SCI Foundation will help partners achieve success in countering the poaching crisis that is undermining Africa's peace and prosperity. Our organizations are constantly seeking like-minded entities to propel our mission and look forward to producing effective and efficient resolutions through this beneficial partnership.

BREAKING NEWS: Blaze Rips Through East London Tower Block With Grenfell Type Cladding
By Ron Howells • 07 May 2021 • 11:56
Blaze Rips Through East London Tower Block With Grenfell Type Cladding.
THE London Fire Brigade has over 100 firefighters battling an east London tower block fire which is believed to have been fitted with Grenfell-style cladding. Emergency crews in some 20 fire engines are at the scene in New Providence Wharf, near Canary Wharf, after reports of a blaze this morning.
The Fire Brigade was called shortly before 9am this morning and has been battling the fire ever since. It is understood that parts of the eighth, ninth, and 10th floors are ablaze – thick smoke is enveloping the area making it hard to see exactly what is going on at the moment.
Firefighters are still at the scene trying to extinguish the flames. image was taken by local resident in an opposing block of flats.
The cause of the fire is not known at this stage – evacuations took place this morning but the emergency services are understood to be scouring the building – under extreme risk to their own lives – for anyone left behind. With temperatures now hot enough to melt the steel girders it would be unlikely there would be any survivors.
A local resident, who lives on the 10th floor, said the fire is now out – but that "people were stuck on their balconies and shouting for help," reports MyLondon.
In a statement earlier this morning, LFB said: "Twenty fire engines and around 125 firefighters have been called to a fire at a block of flats on Fairmont Avenue in Poplar," said the spokesperson.
"Firefighters are tackling a blaze at a 19-storey block. Parts of the eighth, ninth and 10th floors are alight. The Brigade was called at 08.55. Fire crews from Poplar, Millwall, Shadwell, Plaistow, Whitechapel and surrounding fire stations are at the scene.
In a twist of irony, some residents said the cladding was due to be removed this week…

Stenopelix valdensis  è un piccolo dinosauro erbivoro, vissuto nel Cretaceo inferiore (Berriasiano tra 145,5 e 140,2 milioni di anni fa), i cui fossili sono stati ritrovati in Germania.

Descrizione

Probabilmente lo stenopelice era un piccolo erbivoro relativamente agile, lungo circa 1,5 metri, abbastanza simile ai coevi ipsilofodontidi ma leggermente più robusto.

Tassonomia
Questo dinosauro è conosciuto per uno scheletro frammentario, purtroppo privo di cranio. Lo scheletro è piuttosto simile a quello di Psittacosaurus, un antenato dei ceratopsidi (tra cui il famoso triceratopo), ma sembra ancora più primitivo, e non è improbabile che Stenopelix possa essere l'antenato comune dei ceratopsi e dei pachicefalosauri con cranio a cupola. Il cranio mancante, tuttavia, non permette di definire l'esatta posizione filogenetica di questo dinosauro.

A braille version of the IPA was first created by Merrick and Potthoff in 1934, and published in London. It was used in France, Germany, and anglophone countries. However, it was not updated as the IPA evolved, and by 1989 had become obsolete. In 1990 it was officially reissued by BAUK, but in a corrupted form that made it largely unworkable. In 1997 BANA created a completely new system for the United States and Canada. However, it was incompatible with braille IPA elsewhere in the world and in addition proved to be cumbersome and often inadequate. In 2008 Robert Englebretson revised the Merrick and Potthoff notation and by 2011 this had been accepted by BANA.[a] It is largely true to the original in consonants and vowels, though the diacritics were completely reworked, as necessitated by the major revisions in print IPA diacritics since 1934. The diacritics were also made more systematic, and follow rather than precede the base letters. However, it has no general procedure for marking tone, and not all diacritics can be written.
In other cases, such as the ring for voiceless ⟨l̥ ŋ̊⟩, a diacritic may superscript or subscript with no change in meaning. The distinction is therefore not necessary in braille, but can be maintained if the text is to be transliterated into print. The wedge, which indicates voicing when below a letter, can be placed above to represent Americanist notation such as ⟨š⟩ and ⟨č⟩. The placement dot distinguishes the tilde from the letter ⟨ð⟩, and the ring from the letter ⟨ŋ⟩.[e] Many diacritics are identical in form to the corresponding symbols in Unified English Braille, but always follow the letter in IPA Braille. When there is more than one diacritic, they are written in the order lowest to highest.
^ IPA Braille (BANA). According to the minutes of BAUK, BANA had withdrawn its idiosyncratic system by 2008, and BAUK was considering adopting IPA Braille at that time.
^ For this purpose, ⟨ɤ⟩ is treated as a rotated (script?) ⟨o⟩, and ⟨ɯ⟩ as a rotated ⟨u⟩ rather than ⟨m⟩, perhaps facilitated by braille ⟨u⟩ and ⟨m⟩ themselves being a rotated pair.
^ It is therefore not possible to transcribe superscript ⟨ᶞ⟩ or ⟨ᵑ⟩ without some additional convention, such as the voiceless diacritic always being subscript, and the superscript indicating an engma in for example ⟨ᵑǃ⟩. Or braille click notation could substitute the proper tilde and the voicing diacritics for the ad hoc superscript engma and gee generally used in print, as the diacritics do not have the legibility problems in braille that they have in print.
^ The IPA letters which duplicate diacritics and which therefore cannot be written as superscripts are ⟨ɑ æ c d ð e ə i ɪ ŋ ʊ x ː⟩. Of these, superscript ⟨d ə i ŋ x⟩ are fairly common in print. ⠈⠆ is similarly potentially ambiguous between superscript ⟨ʔ⟩ and the extra-IPA diacritic ⟨◌̍⟩ that is sometimes seen in transcriptions of languages with four- or six-tone systems. See the previous note for two suggested solutions for rendering superscript ⟨ŋ⟩ in braille.

Press release - Citizens Environmental Advocacy Centre Incorporated. 22nd February 2019.
We are supporting placing a new water tax on those foreign overseas companies taking our best water around our country today as they are choosing to exclusively use only road truck freight which has a large carbon footprint and impact on residential health from noise, vibration and air pollution.
• The transporting of that water by trucks to production plants and for export is harming our roads as more trucks are gridlocking the roads causing accidents and road damage.
• But the elephant in the room is the harm the extra truck transport going through our cities and causing Noise, vibration and air pollution is now adversely affecting the health and wellbeing of many residential areas around the country and councils now have no funds to mitigate the adverse effects of these trucks carrying water for export through their residential zones.
The "Tax Working Party" should be a proposing an 'environmental harm' cost as part of a tax on the "user pays" principal, to pay for mitigation on those transport effects to our citizens.
Since these water export companies are now choosing to use only the roads to move millions of litres of water and causing damage both to our residential environment, and impacting large costs to us paying for road repairs on the roads they are using we must place a tax on the cost of transport of that 'so called free water' then it is only fair these foreign companies are required to pay tax to mitigate for their damages they are causing in their business.
We think this is a fairer system to give local councils and NZTA the funding to repair the roads and repair the water infrastructure also.
All NZ citizens should be not paying tax for a for a 'natural recourse' if they are not using it for financial gain, so only commercial water users should pay a tax and NZ business should only pay a limited tax far less then foreign companies as they are not citizens.


Josephine Tutman is a registered nurse working in Santa Cruz, CA and has only recently been in the public eye, making her a tough cookie to crack. The show's previous episodes had characters like Corrine Olympios, Liz Sandoz, and Brittany Farrar dominating screen time with their attention-grabbing actions, and Josephine is one of them. When she first met Nick, she asked him to "Lady and the Tramp it" with her by biting into the end of a hot dog, while she bit the other end. Then, during the January 9th episode during the fake breakup game, she slapped the bachelor across the face! Nick looked shocked and stunned, but laughed it off as the other contestants' jaws dropped and audiences cringed. To learn more facts about the contestant and to find out what is known about Josephine from The Bachelor's family, keep on reading.
Considering she has only been in the public eye for a short while, there is not a lot of information on her family, but the contestant is very public about her career and modeling projects. Josephine's online photography portfolio contains images of her modeling credentials from 2014 to 2016. The 5'7" beauty has modeled for Charmosa swimwear and Kata Marie Designs. She has been the cover model for magazines like the 7Hues 2016 Swim issue, Pump, and Promo. Looks like she has a bright future both in the modeling world and the medical field!
On Josephine's ABC profile, when asked who she admired the most in the world, "My brother. Hands down. He has been my greatest inspiration, best friend and biggest motivator in life." Josephine from The Bachelor's brother, Avi, is a student at Yale University and she recently took to social media to share her support for his efforts there. How many sisters/brothers does Josephine from The Bachelor have? From what we can tell from social media, she just has the one brother.
Her Jewish culture plays a big part of her life, but she is "open to all religions." In her profile, she said she loves God and considers herself to be a spiritual person.
If you're looking for information on Josephine from The Bachelor's father, or Josephine from The Bachelor's mother, you'll have to be patient. Since she isn't a celebrity, there is limited, if any, information on Josephine from The Bachelor's parents. It looks like Josephine is keeping her family life private from the media so she can focus her attention on winning over Nick's heart! While many are hoping Nick sends her home soon, some believe the producers would keep her longer to boost ratings. Either way, she admitted that it takes a certain kind of guy to handle her energy, making her the eccentric one this season. Tune into ABC Mondays at 8:00 p.m. EST to see what she does next!

Thank you so much for the prayers and thoughts for my dad. His surgery went well today. It was about 4 hours but the doctor thought they got all of the tumor. He has an incision over the top of his head from sideburn to sideburn. I did get to see him a couple of times in ICU when it was over and he looked better than I expected. They said his vitals were good and he would probably be out of ICU tomorrow. We are not sure of the treatment route just yet - waiting to hear what the oncologist has to say.
Thanks so much for continued prayers. I will be back in Omaha Thursday and hope to blogging some very soon.
Sending positive energy to you dad and wishing you all well!!


I was thinking of revenge—revenge against the primary conditions of my being. I was thinking of Nettie and her lover. I was firmly resolved he should not have her—though I had to kill them both to prevent it. I did not care what else might happen, if only that end was ensured.
Then begins a clatter roar of machinery catching the infection, going faster and faster, and whizzing and banging,—engineers, who have never had time to wash since their birth, flying about with oil-cans, while paper runs off its rolls with a shudder of haste. The proprietor you must suppose arriving explosively on a swift motor-car, leaping out before the thing is at a standstill, with letters and documents clutched in his hand, rushing in, resolute to "hustle," getting wonderfully in everybody's way. At the sight of him even the messenger boys who are waiting, get up and scamper to and fro. Sprinkle your vision with collisions, curses, incoherencies. You imagine all the parts of this complex lunatic machine working hysterically toward a crescendo of haste and excitement as the night wears on. At last the only things that seem to travel slowly in all those tearing vibrating premises are the hands of the clock.
We knew before the Change, the meanest knew, by glowing moments in ourselves and others, by histories and music and beautiful things, by heroic instances and splendid stories, how fine mankind could be, how fine almost any human being could upon occasion be; but the poison in the air, its poverty in all the nobler elements which made such moments rare and remarkable—all that has changed. The air was changed, and the Spirit of Man that had drowsed and slumbered and dreamt dull and evil things, awakened, and stood with wonder-clean eyes, refreshed, looking again on life.
First off, I am not a classics reader in general. But I wanted to challenge myself and since Sci-Fi is my favorite genre I chose to do Decades of Sci-Fi Challenge being hosted by Sci-Fi and Scary.
This book also satisfies Back to the Classics Challenge #2: A 20th century classic.
This book took me over two months to read! It's over 100 years old so the verbage was a bit difficult to translate. My mind just turned to mush after too long. This author describes EVERYTHING. Like pages and pages of one single element/scene/idea. It was enough to make me want to skim. I didn't, but I wanted to. And the sentences were so long I had to stop and take a breath just to finish them! It kept kicking me out of the story when that happened, which was a lot.
This story was incredibly slow. About a quarter of the way through it I realized it had a love story in it! And that was the best part of the novel TBH. The MC was…quite frankly, crazy. Like certifiable. I kept comparing his actions being replicated in present times and if he behaved now as he had then, he wold have been locked up. He was incredibly proud, stubborn, entitled, egotistical, impulsive, vain and self-absorbed.
And I LOVED the ending to the love story. It was so unexpected you guys! It just made me think about how much more accepting this ending would be viewed in present as opposed to then. It would have been a great scandal then, but now… not so much.
Glad I read it, don't know if I would read his other works though. Stylistically, it's not my bag.

The Russian government is considering the possibility of converting the main national airport Sheremetyevo into an international transit facility
"It may be converted into a hub", Economic Development and Trade Minister German Gref said at a meeting on Wednesday with American businessmen, arranged by the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia. The government has not yet made up its mind - privatizing Sheremetyevo or passing it to private business for management, he said. "Sheremetyevo may be passed to be managed by a big international corporation with an experience in hub building and service", Gref said. The Economic Development and Trade Ministry and the Transport Ministry are unanimous that the airport has to be either privatized or turned to private management, Gref said. He also said that the state will take part in financing construction of the hub. Provided private investments are made in building the new terminal, the state will fund the building of runways. The accumulated American investments in the Russian economy come up to six billion dollars. "I'm glad that year on year American investments are increasing in all sectors - high technologies, the aviation and space industries" Gref said. Russia and the United States being far apart, America is Russia's fifth largest partner in trade, Gref said. To him, Russian-American foreign trade turnover increased by 37 percent over the past year

What is Undercut Machining?
Undercut machining is a machining technique that involves creating recessed or sunken features in a machined part. Standard cutting tools used in most machining services, for example, end mills, cannot create undercuts. Besides, designing undercut parts in machining might seem challenging to achieve. Above all, this machining project aims to implement proper functionality to various machined parts.
Furthermore, manufacturing some precise undercut standards can incur more costs. This is because some of their surfaces are not directly accessible from overhead. Likewise, several undercuts exist where one workpiece part projects over another. As such, the overhang produces a gap that regular traditional tools cannot reach.
Thus, undercut machining requires specialized tools like slot cutters, lollipop cutters, or undercut end mills to make undercut parts.
What is a CNC Undercut?
An undercut in machining refers to a distinct type of recessed surface of machined parts. Undercuts are often depicted by one workpiece part extending over another.
In CNC machining services, undercuts occur in different ways. Check the details below.
Undercut in CNC Turning
In the turning process, an undercut is a recess in diameter on the inside diameter of the machined part. A rule of thumb for undercuts in the turning technique is that it should have a length of at least 1.5 threads and a diameter of at least 0.38mm smaller than the minor diameter of the thread. Additionally, undercuts are often applied at the end of the threaded part of a screw or shaft. Thus, this provides clearance for the cutting tool.
Undercut in CNC Milling
In milling, the cutting tool gets mounted at the spindle. In some cases, undercut machining experts cut off part of the material from a direction where the feature is not seen from the angle of the spindle. However, this requires special tools to reach behind the visible material.
Special Tools for Undercut Machining
As mentioned earlier, undercut machining gets tricky most times. More so, the typical straight machining tools cannot access the gap created for most undercut parts. Thus, this machining process requires special tools. Take a look at these special tools below:
Slot Cutters and Lollipop Cutters
These unique tools have peculiar shapes that allow them to fabricate undercuts where traditional tools cannot. Slots and lollipop cutters have a wide end tip and narrow shaft.
But then, they differ in the shape of the end tip. You'll find that the slot cutter has a flatter tip, while the lollipop cutter has a rounder end tip.
Furthermore, experts measure the distance between the outside tip and shaft edge in undercut machining. Thus, this helps determine the overhanging length to cut for CNC machined parts.
The rounded tip of lollipop cutters makes them suitable for machining curved undercut shapes. Aside from this, lollipop cutters get applied in edge bearing, deburring a workpiece. however, this undercut end mill offers multi-directional cutting making it more expensive.
Note that cutters with thinner necks help produce a more spherical undercut. This is due to the larger wrap angles that provide bigger clearance. In contrast, those with thicker necks have smaller wrap angles, thus providing less clearance.
Special Cuts in Undercut Parts Machining
Below are some of the different cuts you can carry out in undercut part machining:
1. T-Slot
As the name implies, this cutting tool helps create T-shaped undercuts. T-slot tools comprise interlinked flat horizontal blades and a vertical shaft. These features allow the device to cut down into a workpiece and cut in either direction horizontally. As a result, it forms the T-shape. T-slot cutting tools are available in standard widths ranging from 3mm to 40mm in size.
2. Dovetail
Dovetail cutting tools use angled blades to produce undercut parts. The resultant cuts have a trapezoid-like or dovetail shape. Further, the undercut part always has a narrow top and broad bottom.
Dovetail cutting tools have angled blades designed at standard angles of 45 and 60 degrees. However, other grades in the multiples of 10 degrees, ranging up to 120 degrees, are less employed.
3. One-Sided Undercutting
This unique cut utilizes a CNC undercut tool to make asymmetrical undercuts in machined parts. It cuts sideways while making further cuts that project from the previous undercuts.
Note that clearance is an essential factor to consider when using the one-side cutting technique. This ensures the CNC undercut tool works properly.
Tips for CNC Machined Parts with Undercuts
Below are some vital tips to aid your undercutting process for CNC machined parts:
1. Partner with Professionals
You will agree that partnering with experts will make your work easier. Hence, experienced individuals or companies machining undercuts will most likely have the necessary tools and expertise to help you in various ways. That way, working with experts will help you reduce the risk of errors to get suitable undercut parts.
2. Eliminate Undercuts If Possible
When staging the design for your machined parts, it would be best for you to avoid the undercuts wherever possible. This is because undercuts contribute to the complexity of your design. Besides, you may also need to get the special tools required, which can incur more costs. So, eliminating undercuts makes your work uncomplicated and saves you from more expenses.
3. Avoid the Need for a Custom Tool
You can also avoid the need for custom tools as they take time to manufacture. More so, these tools are for one-time use, and recurrent requirements for these tools can add more costs to your machining project. Thus, you can best avoid custom tools by designing your undercut features with standard dimensions.
4. Make Shallow Undercut
Keep in mind that there's a limit to the depth of cutting tool blades. This is because most of these blades are often linked to the vertical shaft. Hence, ensure you only create the shallow undercut depths that your suitable cutting tool can process—moreover, the shallower your cut, the better.
Application of Undercuts Parts
Undercuts cannot always get avoided. Basically, manufacturers often apply undercuts in machining processes to give specific functionality to machine parts.
Thus, undercut machining becomes necessary for parts that require the following:
Side holes: for consumer electronics
Interlock features: for easier assembly
Custom inserts: for unique design elements
Vertical threads: for many connectors, hoses, and other components
Barb fittings: for medical devices
Notably, some machining designs look easy to create, but are more difficult to implement during the machining process. So, challenging tasks like undercut in machining require quality machining services to get the best undercut parts.

Can undercuts be machined?
Yes, simple undercuts are often machined with special tools. Slot and lollipop cutters, also called undercutting end mills are often top choices for undercut machining. They have unique shapes and features that make them suitable for fabricating undercut parts.
What is the adverse effect of an undercut?
Generally, undercuts cause local stress concentration in metal parts. This adverse effect results from reducing the cross-sectional areas of metal parts from undercut depth.
Why should the mold have no undercuts?
To a large extent, molds should have no undercuts because they complicate the overall design and prevent part ejection. Thus, it's best to avoid undercuts wherever possible.

US marine guilty of Japan assault
The case revived bitter memories on Okinawa
A US military court has jailed a marine for three years for sexually abusing a 14-year-old Japanese girl on the southern island of Okinawa.
Staff Sgt Tyrone Hadnott, 38, pleaded guilty to assaulting the girl in his car in February.
But he was cleared of rape and other charges including kidnapping through luring, military officials said.
The case caused widespread anger in Okinawa, where there are tensions over America's large military presence.
Hadnott had admitted forcibly kissing the girl, but denied allegations he raped her in a car park. He said he did not know she was under age.
The incident led to protests in Okinawa, where it revived bitter memories of the 1995 gang rape of a 12-year-old girl on the island by American soldiers.
The US ambassador apologised to the people of Okinawa, while the US military imposed a curfew on all personnel and their families.
Hadnott was not indicted by Japanese prosecutors because the girl decided not to file charges.
But US military officials charged him with a series of offences.
He has also been dishonourably discharged from the US military.

Canines in the Seattle area are living the dream after a food truck for dogs started doing the rounds with healthy and tasty treats.
Close to Amazon.com's headquarters in downtown Seattle, it is common to see people walking their dogs or buying lunch at the many food trucks in the area. Now there's a brand new food truck on offer, but this time offering a different culinary experience.
The Seattle Barkery is a food truck catering to man's best friend and offers the best treats for canines of taste, along with a menu for humans and some new items for our feline friends.
KOMO News gave the food truck for dogs a "two paws up" when reporting that Ben and Dawn Ford, who own the food truck, started their business 10 months ago.
They reportedly visit all the Seattle-area dog parks, along with farmer's markets, office building parking lots and even cater for private events.
Ford did say their dog food truck is just one of only a handful in the country catering for canines, and reportedly the idea is so new that people without dogs occasionally misunderstand and buy themselves a treat.
"They end up ordering something, and they seem weirded out by it," Ford said.
The decision to open up a food truck came after Ford worked at one of Seattle's dog-friendly bars. She reportedly then became a dog walker, and after noticing a rash of product recalls related to dog treats, began cooking up her own for her canine clients.
Ben and Dawn bought an old Chevy Step-Van which reportedly already had the appropriate name "Buster" and spent six months renovating it before launching the food truck last year.
Dog treats with natural ingredients are important to Ford. She said what we feed our pets reflects their health and as animals' lives are so short, we should always feed them good quality products.
Among the tasty treats on offer are bacon cupcakes (known as "pupcakes"), beefy carrot bagels, air-fried chicken feet and duck neck, pumpkin pretzels, mini cheese doughnuts, peanut butter and banana cookies and so much more. They even offer ice cream sundaes on warmer days.
As can be seen on Oddee, The Seattle Barkery recently made it into the number one place on their top ten of the coolest food trucks. According to that report, the canine food truck has recently expanded its menu to include a limited menu for humans, along with some tasty options for cats.
A nice touch is that proceeds from the tip jar go to the Old Dog Haven, a local nonprofit group that lends help to senior pets.

Q: jasmine-ajax mock get parameters I am using jasmine-ajax to mock $.ajax get calls. In my actual code I send some parameters through the data options.
var request = $.ajax("/users", {
      data: {id:"1"},
});

but in my tests jasmine.Ajax.requests.mostRecent().url returns /users?id=1 and jasmine.Ajax.requests.mostRecent().data() returns {}. Is there a way to make the url return /users and data return {id:"1"} to make my testing life easier?

A: When using GET method for making a request, the query string is sent like this /users?id=1. But you should use POST method if you want to make your "testing life easier".
var request = $.ajax("/users", {
    method: "POST",
    data: {id:"1"},
});

In science, exchange force is a force whose apparent character lies in the assumption of a continuous exchange of particles, which accompanies the interaction and transmits the force, resulting from the continued interaction of particles in a manner that bonds their hosts together. [1]
In 1927, Walter Heitler, after awaking from a series of naps, conceived the basic model of the exchange force or "perturbation theory" operating between two hydrogen atoms, the outline of which was first published in "Interaction of Neutral Atoms and Homopolar Bonding according to Quantum Mechanics", co-authored with Fritz London (1900-1954); the theory was given in more detail in Heitler's 1945 Elementary Wave Mechanics: with Applications to Quantum Chemistry.
In 1932, Italian physicist Ettore Majorana (part of Enrico Fermi's group) independently worked out his own version of the exchange force, and the following year, through suggestion via Fermi, when to Germany to work with Werner Heisenberg, who was working out a similar exchange force model. Heisenberg eventually convinced Majorana to publish his theory, which he did in the 1933 article "On Nuclear Theory". [8] Their finalized joint model later came to be referred to as the "Heisenberg-Majorana" exchange forces. [9]
In circa 1993, Enrico Fermi and German Hans Bethe summarized the core model by suggesting that interactions between charged particles could be described in terms of photons being exchanged between particles. [3]
In 1992, English physical chemist Peter Atkins explained exchange force in the context of spacetime as such: [2]
"All forces that bind atoms, nuclei, and the deepest components of particles, can be regarded as arising from the interchange of particles. Force is only the codeword for this behavior being played out on the arena of spacetime. Spacetime, with its curvature forms the stage; particles distributed as waves pursue straight lines; but particles detach from particles and travel (straight) to others and impress on them their motion. Force is the name of this interchange of particles."
Whether or not forces act attractively or repulsively, supposedly, depends on the spin of the particles being exchanged: even-integral spin particles are attractive, odd-integral spin particles are repulsive between like particles. [2]
The most readable account of the interpretation of forces in terms of the exchange of particles, according to English physical chemist Peter Atkins, is the 1977 book The Key to the Universe by British science writer Nigel Calder. [4]
Human physics
In 1975, American physicist Arthur Iberall, in his paper "On Nature, Man, and Society: A Basis for Scientific Modeling", outlined a basis for social dynamics in terms of exchange forces. [6] The interesting abstract for this paper by Iberall is as follows: [7]
"A physical basis for the modeling of autonomous systems is presented. Namely the thesis is unfolded that irreversible thermodynamics is presently capable of describing nature, man, and society. Four fragments of the theme are presented. The first is a description of how thermodynamics orders all of nature. The second illustrates how the dynamics of fluid fields (mobile atomisms) is developed. The third begins the formulation of a social physics. The fourth provides a primitive notion why all autonomous systems are described by the same formal set of equations of state and change."
In summary of Iberall's social physics exchange force model, according to a 2008 review by American physical anthropologist Douglas White, two major types of bonds are pertinent: "ionic" sexual force and "van der Waal" covalent exchange force (which provides internal "cohesive group" associations in the likely range of 10-200 empathetically shared views). These bondings take place through sensory contact, within a nominally 20-mile radius of a person's movement "territory". [6]
In 2007, independent of Iberall, American electrochemical engineer Libb Thims extrapolated the exchange force model up to the human-human interaction level (human molecule - human molecule interactions), in the formulation of the one of the aspects of the human chemical bond, as well as in formulation of the mechanism of the force of attraction and repulsion, wherein the notion of "primary field particles" (e.g. a photon) and "secondary field particles" (e.g. a diamond) was introduced to describe and explain the large scale operation of forces at the human level.

I've been watching & even engaged in a debate on LinkedIn over the last few days. The primary topic is Lean Failure and the debate is about whether it actually exists as well as what is the cause (or to many, the causes). I am working on a book on the subject so I wont go into detail on that. You can read mine & other's thoughts on it here.
The point I wish to make though, is that regardless of whether people believe Lean has failed or the companies implementing/introducing/practicing Lean have failed lean, few companies capitalise on the potential. They dabble with tools & techniques but few get as much as they could if they had engaged fully.
There are probably very few companies that would say that their Lean activity has not provided some benefits, most would probably say that the efforts & money spent on it was repaid in greater productivity, an improved bottom line, etc. Therefore the customer is happy, right?
Sure they are, just like an investor is happy when their broker tells them he has provided them with a 10% return on the money they invested. The broker fails to mention that it could have been 20%. The frustrating thing is that often with Lean, as in investing, it could have been so much more.
If we truly engage and follow the principles of Lean, not just apply the tools, then the rewards can be phenomenal. Sadly too few understand this. Even many within my industry are misguided in thinking that just applying the tools will magically change the way people think. That when people see the benefits, they will change the way they think, the way they behave which in turn will change the culture of the organisation.
This is possible of course, but it is not a given. Sure, we can focus on removing waste, we see some, and we miss some, but how do we maximise the potential? Something that is virtually always talked about but little effort seems to be exerted to achieve – by getting everyone engaged. Getting everyone focused on improving their operation, their process.
As always, this is much easier said than done, but if your efforts are being ignored or worse, subverted by those at the front line because you just want your leaders to know HOW to use the tools, it is unlikely they will change how they think, which means it is unlikely they will change their behaviours which of course means the culture will stay the same.

A greeting card patent can be used to protect your intellectual property and prevent others from using your originally designed cards without your permission. It's a good way to shield your artwork, poetry, or other designs.
Few things are as satisfying as creating an original greeting card with your own two hands. Even something as simple as a homemade greeting card can be considered intellectual property. If you want to protect this intellectual property, you're going to need to copyright your greeting cards. This may sound like a complex legal process with a lot of complicated steps, but it's actually something that can be done pretty easily from the comfort of your own home in just a few minutes.
Make sure your entire greeting card is saved in a single file, otherwise, you may end up having to pay extra filing fees with the Copyright Office. They might consider each file a separate project, leading to increased costs.
You'll only be able to select one category. Since you've created a greeting card, you probably used a combination of visual artwork and literary work. To make things easy, just select the one that is most predominant on the card you're copyrighting.
Instead, the patent provides the holder with the right to prevent others from doing these things with the patented item. Once a patent has been granted, it is the patent holder's responsibility to enforce it. The United States Patent and Trademark Office is unable to help with this.
Design patents are granted when somebody creates an original, ornamental design that can be applied to an article of manufacture and that hasn't already been created by somebody else. Plant patents are granted when somebody discovers or creates a new type of plant and is able to reproduce it asexually.
If you need help with greeting card patent, you can post your legal need on UpCounsel's marketplace. UpCounsel accepts only the top 5 percent of lawyers to its site. Lawyers on UpCounsel come from law schools such as Harvard Law and Yale Law and average 14 years of legal experience, including work with or on behalf of companies like Google, Menlo Ventures, and Airbnb.

Thomas Baldwin offers a timely Christian response to the horsemeat scandal that has engulfed food production in the UK.
Those words, spoken by the preacher at the harvest celebration in Ekwendeni CCAP Church, Malawi, brought home just how far removed we in the UK (certainly town and city-dwellers) have got from the food production process.
When our crop – wheat, potatoes, whatever – fails, the supermarkets source it from elsewhere and we grumble about the increased prices. In Malawi, if their crop fails, people starve.
The Malawian preacher's words have come back to me vividly over the past couple of months as the latest scandal to hit British food has made its way through the press, parliament, regulators and legal processes.
It began in mid-January as what seemed a relatively minor story. What was initially described as 'horse DNA' was found in a number of beef products, produced by two processing plants in Ireland and sold in a number of British supermarkets.
But what does it say about modern food production methods that what seems to be widespread fraud has been able to go on? And is there – or should there be – a Christian response to the scandal?
"'As you sow, so shall you reap'," says Adrian Shaw, who works for the Church of Scotland's Church and Society Council.
While preparing the report, the authors visited two farms. One, Drumness Farm in Perthshire, is a large operation which they describe as 'certainly no agricultural desert' and 'rich with wildlife' but which comes with a large carbon footprint and has the prices for its products firmly controlled by the supermarkets.
The other, Whitmuir Farm in the Scottish Borders, is a small, organic farm which sells directly to customers through a box service and its own farm shop.
However, there are projects, including some associated with churches, that are challenging that stereotype.
While the Church of Scotland has previously strongly supported fair trade and sustainable agriculture, the outcome of last year's report was not as prescriptive as supermarkets = bad, small-scale = good. In fact, the report notes the positive impact of supermarkets – they have increased the range of food available and make it available at low cost – along with concern about the imbalanced market and pressure on suppliers.
The importance of which has only been emphasised by the horsemeat scandal.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The future of Urban Meyer's tenure as the football coach at Ohio State is the focal point of a Board of Trustees meeting Wednesday. The meeting began at 9 a.m. and broke off into executive session so the 20 board members could meet without the media present.
The timeline for university president Michael V. Drake to make a final decision on Meyer's status is unclear. While a decision is expected by the end of the week, the university declined on Tuesday night to offer specific clarity on when a decision on Meyer would happen.
The Ohio State Board of Trustees opened with a public session. Board members exited the room and met elsewhere in the Longaberger Alumni House on campus. There's no set length on the meeting.

Unexpectedly, Meyer made an appearance at Longaberger Alumni House on Wednesday morning.
An unexpected twist. Urban Meyer has shown up at the meeting. This is really surprising. https://t.co/ywXVR7GBCA

Meyer has been on paid administrative leave since Aug. 1, and the university launched an investigation in the wake of domestic abuse allegations against a former football staff member. The scope of the investigation expanded in the wake of allegations of tawdry behavior by Zach Smith, the former assistant coach, by his ex-wife, Courtney Smith. (Courtney Smith spoke to investigators on Aug. 13.)
Meyer and others have been interviewed multiple times by investigators, according to sources familiar with the probe.
The investigation ended on Sunday, and the board was informally briefed verbally on the results of it for nearly three hours on Monday.
Little is known about the timeline and rollout of a potential decision following the meeting Wednesday. University officials did confirm to Yahoo Sports that Ohio State plans to release a written report detailing an executive summary of the investigative findings. It's unknown when that will come.
It's unknown how much input the Board of Trustees will have on the final decision about Meyer's employment. The meeting on Wednesday is a forum for their input, but Drake will make the final decision.
There are essentially three possible outcomes for Meyer: reinstatement, firing or suspension. The Columbus Dispatch reported on Tuesday that a recommendation for suspension is the likely outcome from the investigation. That notion was deemed "reckless" by a school spokesman, who did not deny the statements to the Columbus Dispatch.
Ohio State opens the football season on Sept. 1 against Oregon State at home. Co-offensive coordinator Ryan Day is the interim coach.
