The RMI transportation team faced numerous questions at the RMI Leadership meeting with local government mayors. From left: Drauna Waqasokolala, Stanley Myazoe, Danny Wase, Joe Tiobech, Phil Philippo and Minister Mike Halferty. Photo: Hilary Hosia.
A majority of mayors attending the 17th Executive Leadership Workshop at the Marshall Islands Resort's Melele Room Tuesday demanded improved customer service from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications panel, which included bosses from Air Marshall Islands, Directorate of Civil Aviation, Shipping Corporation and Ports Authority.
But Wotje Mayor Ota Kisino took the opposite route: he worked to solve issues relating to Wotje prior to the leadership session.
Kisino's comments came after a barrage of complaints from various mayors on issues relating to AMI's buddy-buddy system, cargo disappearing after being dropped off at Uliga dock, medicines not showing up in a timely manner to outer island health dispensaries, issues relating to AMI's ground time and more.
Instead of voicing similar complaints, Kisino focused on resolving problems directly with AMI, Shipping and other agencies that provide service to Wotje. He said sat down with directors and managers, identified problems, found solutions and moved forward from there. Kisino, who is also President of the Marshall Islands Mayors Association, said the solutions that he reached with these agencies involved both sides taking action to address the problem areas.
Some mayors argue that the reason similar questions are raised repeatedly from past workshops is because the government doesn't provide meaningful answers.
Utrik Mayor John Kaiko announced he is personally investigating the missing items that did not reach Utrik Atoll recently. Kaiko urged Shipping Corporation to improve accountability to prevent future failures.
Mayors Randall Mckay from Maloelap, Neal Keju from Mejit and Rufina Jack from Ailuk shared similar incidents where medicines are not being delivered to their respective islands despite confirmation from the Ministry of Health saying the medicines were sent.

Does anyone around here is knowledgeable about the original F1 Seven mod? Although I regard it as an absolute unsurpassed master piece in terms of graphical detail (where else you can find the 70-5 seasons with all cars and liveries?) I always found the physics to be way, way out.
Compared to the GPL 69 cars per instance, or even the rfactor 79's (which had ground effect for Christ's sake!), the F1 Seven cars are just glued to the track and understeer like pigs.
Although I'm no physics expert I'm looking to at least compile a list of things that are wrong and can be changed for future reference. I know it's an old game but the mod was not wholly converted to rfactor and what was did not seem very well done.
So far one of the things I more or less sorted out are the tyres, which in the original game are entirely wrong and are probably the main culprit for making the cars so tame.
For my private use only, of course, I borrowed the tyres from the rfactor HSO 1972 F5000 mod and F1 Seven became an entirely different game, very much more GPL-wise and akin to vids from those times. In two words: a powerslide party.
I'm also looking to get some other things right, in particular 'mass', which I'm not sure the modders got very right. The cars' weight in those times is usually between 550 and 590 and I see 'mass' values varying wildly from low to high 600's.
So yeah, if you have any further feedback on this mod's physics it will be most appreciated!

Don't know if your aware of the player PLR file.
Alter the Half rate for more realistic physics.
Also some other stuff you can do.
If it won't save directly in the directory after altering. Copy the plr file to desktop. Alter there then copy and paste into player file over original plr file. Don't forget to keep a copy too of original plr file.
Hope this helps and what your looking for.
I actually knew about it (as I had made that tweak to get a better feel with 99-02 cars) but completely forgot to add it to the F1 Seven Mods. So thanks for refreshing my memory It does get a bit better, but it's definitely a question of tyres; plus the default setup is very understeery.
For those potentially interested: the first releases of F1 Seven consisted of 75, 74 & 73: all made by the same modding team, and the feeling is usually good.
Then there was 72,71,70, but these were made by a different modding team, which carried on with the unfinished material left by the original modders. The physics are basically copy-pasted from the previous releases, and often with some incongruent values. And after looking at the files I found out that the tyres were not made from scratch (like in 73-5) but taken from some Rfactor mod ( and definitely not a good one).
So either I'll use the 73-5 tyres but modified according to 70-2 evolving dimensions; or further tweak those from the HSO mod. ANy of these solutions, though, is a lot of fun as the cars are more challenging and loose.
F1 Challenge 99-02 as always been one of my favourite games.
You can even get some pre seventies mods.
The 1971 mod (as 1973-74-75) was also made by the original authors (Team Crew).
Then, I participated in the 1970 and 1972 production (TNT Team) and I do not think we took anything from rfactor, considering that for that game have never released nothing of that years.
And the few mod that you find are all conversions of F1 Challenge's mods.
Edited by Luigi 70, Oct 13 2017 - 01:32 PM.
Thank you for the clarifications (and for your great work over all these years)! Rest assured that it lives on!
"// A cross-ply track tyre from 1970.
// AIGripMult at standatrd values Front and increased at the Rear to rstabilise the back"
These same files were then used in the following releases by Crew and TNT (71; 72, 70) so it was probably a matter that the original CREW team did not have much time to work on the 73 tyres.
P.S. My comments are/were not intended as criticisms; I was just trying to lay down a list of things that could be improved on the great work that CREW & TNT did.

The days are getting longer and temperatures are getting warmer in Pella, which means you're going to be depending on your air conditioner to stay comfortable. The more you depend on your air conditioner, the greater the possibility you'll be have to depend upon AC repair.
We have a few warning signs to look out for and some advice to let you know when it's necessary to call in the experts from Van Haaften Plumbing & Heating to arrange air conditioner service.
Air from vents isn't cold – This is likely one of the most notable proof that your air conditioner is in need of repair. The initial thing you'll want to do is check your thermostat fan setting and confirm that it's set to "auto" rather than "on". If it's set to "on" your AC will constantly blow air even if it's not currently being cooled. If your air conditioner is set to "auto" and it isn't able to reach the temperature set on your thermostat, that is a sign that it's time to call and get it checked out.
Decreased air flow – This issue isn't as apparent as the previous, but if you think the air coming from your vents isn't flowing as strongly as it had previously, there could be a problem. If you haven't changed your air filter recently, that would be the first place to check, your problem could be as simple as a dirty air filter. If that's not the case and you're still experiencing problems, you'll want to call the professionals at Van Haaften Plumbing & Heating.
Strange sounds – Peculiar noises emerging from your air conditioner isn't a welcome sign. If you hear any clinking or rattling coming from your air conditioner, putting on headphones so you can't hear the sounds isn't going to solve the problem. The moving parts within your air conditioner can become loose through wear and tear and will have to be repaired by a professional.
Try to be cognizant of how your air conditioner sounds and functions when it's running well. This will make it easier to catch when things aren't running correctly.
Keeping up with regular maintenance is another way to diagnose any minor problems before they become major problems. If you haven't yet booked your annual maintenance appointment with Van Haaften Plumbing & Heating, now is the ideal time.
If you've detected any signs that your air conditioner requires repair give Van Haaften Plumbing & Heating a call at 641-628-3621.

Angela Bulloch at Helga de Alvear
Artist: Angela Bulloch
Venue: Helga de Alvear, Madrid
Exhibition Title: Pentagon Principle

Angela Bulloch (born 1966 in Rainy River, Ontario, Canada) presents her third exhibition Pentagon Principle at Galería Helga de Alvear in Madrid.
The British and Canadian artist, based in Berlin, achieved international recognition in the nineties as a "Young British Artist". She is now consolidated internationally in the field of sculpture and installation.
With the exhibition, Bulloch presents Pentagon Principle, a brand new series of works that have been designed in a virtual three dimensional world on a computer and materialized in nine floor based sculptures, a new series of wall hangings and one video avatar work presented on an iPad. Bulloch has always developed installations based on complex systems since the beginning of her career, for example with her "Pixel_Box" works, which can produce millions of monochrome gradations of colour. These installations follow a complex mathematical order contradicting their apparent simplicity.
The sculptures from Pentagon Principle evolve from a virtual image to a physical work, materialized in regular and irregular shapes of the pentagon. Through the distortion and re-arrangement, the work redefines the classical pentagonal figure of the Platonic solids, which is a basic regular three-dimensional element first described in antiquity by Plato and Euclid. Several of the sculptures in the exhibition have light emitting from them, an animation that dims up and down in an irregular wave pattern that is hard for the human eye to find or follow. Beside the sculptures, there are several wall hangings that create the visual illusion of a three-dimensional space, out of two-dimensional visual images of pentagons.
In summary, the primary geometric forms have been continuously explored in Angela Bulloch's works, for example, in the artist's "Yellow Music Station" and the "Electric Wire Drawing" series. We can also brief, that the constants of occidental science are subjected to alterations and irregularities that transform them into the vivid animated sculptural work. The work of Bulloch is full of nuances, not always perceptible to the viewer.
Angela Bulloch has been nominated for the Turner Prize in 1997 with the installation Superstructure with satellites, where colour and sound begin to feature strongly in her work. She has participated in exhibitions at the Guggenheim in New York, The Power Plant in Toronto, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the Serpentine Gallery in London. Recent solo exhibitions of the artist include: Short Big Drama, Witte De With, Rotterdam (2012); Time & Line. Art Award Of City Wolfsburg, Städtische Galerie, Wolfsburg (2011). Angela Bulloch has exhibited in the Venice Biennale, Shanghai, Lyon and Valencia, to name a few.

Orders are usually processed within 24 hours upon receipt of the samples. Please note that our service turnaround time may slightly vary depending on the total number of plates submitted to the daily service queue. Upon order completion, users will immediately receive an email notification.
In the last step of the purification process, the plasmid DNA is eluted in 5 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5 into a V-bottom polystyrene plate. From each well, a small aliquot of purified plasmid DNA is used to determine the DNA concentration. The volume of plasmid DNA solution remaining in each well is approximately 45 ul. If the 96-Well Plasmid DNA Preparation PLUS Sequencing option was ordered, a second aliquot will be removed from each well of the plate (with the exception of well H12) and handed over to the Sequencing group. In this case, the remaining volume of plasmid DNA solution in each well is approximately 30 ul.
Plasmid DNA yield might vary depending on plasmid copy number, E. coli host, and growth conditions (growth medium, incubation time, aeration). For high-copy-number plasmids, yields up to 5-7 ug can be expected if optimal growth conditions and host strain have been selected.
Purified Plasmid DNAs are provided in a sealed V-bottom polystyrene plate and are usually returned within 24-48 hours upon sample receipt. Combined Plasmid Prep PLUS Sequencing orders require at least one additional business day to be completed. A file with the quantitation data (OD260, OD280, 260/280, DNA concentration) will be attached to the corresponding service completion notification email.
Purified Plasmid DNAs can be either picked up at the same remote drop-off location you have used to submit your original samples or directly at our facility (unless specified otherwise). Please see here for details.

Inmarsat today announced the launch of FleetBroadband Multi-voice, a new capability that will allow up to nine simultaneous telephone calls to be made through a single FleetBroadband terminal.The enhancement to FleetBroadband (FB) will enable vessel owners and managers to separate crew communications from operational use. It will also provide crew with more privacy, making it easier to make personal low-cost calls away from the bridge.
The new capability is targeted at any vessel with the need to manage separate voice calls – particularly the merchant maritime market, but also other vessels that have similar crew or passenger communications requirements, such as superyachts or deep-sea fishing vessels.
Standard, which supports up to four simultaneous calls from a FleetBroadband 150, 250 or 500.
Enhanced, which supports up to nine simultaneous calls on an FB250 or FB500.
FleetBroadband users have two ways to access the multiple voice calling capability. Users of Thrane & Thrane SAILOR FleetBroadband terminals can create a fully-integrated solution with just a firmware upgrade and additional handsets.
FleetBroadband Multi-voice can be accessed on existing FleetBroadband equipment, and with the same per-minute tariff for both pre-paid and post-paid calls.
It also supports the "505" emergency calling capability that connects a vessel immediately to a Maritime Rescue Centre.

Eight years ago my husband and I ate a typical, middle-of-the-road diet. We occasionally ate out, we ate ice cream when we wanted to, and we ate some fast food but not too much. We ate fruits and/or veggies with every meal, but we didn't worry about pesticides, GMOs, or synthetic ingredients and chemicals. We certainly didn't buy organic produce or food. Eight years ago we started trying to get pregnant.
eat an entirely organic diet so the Environmental Working Group has compiled a list of "Dirty" and "Clean" Produce. They have even rated the 48 most common produce buys based on the amount of pesticide residue they are likely to have. If you have to make choices, and most families do, choose to buy the organic versions of the foods on the Dirty Dozen list. When you buy meat try to buy organic or natural cuts. You are specifically looking for animal products that were raised cage free (when applicable), without hormones and antibiotics, and are grass-fed (when applicable). Beware that the term "natural" is only meaningful when we are talking about animal products; other uses are simply a marketing ploy. Finally, when shopping for fish, aim for fish high in Omega-3's such as salmon. When possible, try to buy wild fish from Alaska. Alaska has pristine water and a lot of regulations surrounding fishing. These regulations make their fish the "fish of choice". Farm raised fish tends to have fewer Omega-3's, higher levels of antibiotics, and is not always farmed in a sustainable way. These are just a few of the differences between farmed and wild fish. If you don't have local access to wild Alaskan fish, online retailers such as Vital Choice are excellent options.

Liverpool: John Aldridge blasts Reds hierarchy for missing out on Tottenham star
By Pradhan Muthanna
March 29, 2016 13:30 BST
Dele Alli was on the verge of joining Liverpool but ended up at Tottenham following the club's reluctance to complete move Getty
Liverpool legend John Aldridge has blasted the club's transfer decision makers after they allowed Dele Alli slip through their fingers when the midfielder was keen on joining the Merseyside club. The talented midfielder, who is set to become a regular for England sooner rather than later, went on to sign for Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the January transfer window in 2015 and is now a regular for the club under Mauricio Pochettino.
Brendan Rodgers confirmed earlier this year that the midfielder was close to signing for the Anfield outfit with talks at an advanced stage with his family and former manager Karl Robinson. The boyhood Liverpool fan was keen on following in the footsteps of club legend Steven Gerrard, but the club failed to sanction a move allowing the north London club to step in and complete a move for a fee of around £5m ($7m). He remained with MK Dons on-loan for the remainder of the 2014/15 campaign, but has since returned and taken the Premier League by storm.
Liverpool have been wasteful in the transfer market in recent seasons, buying a number of players for bigger amounts, who failed to live up to expectations. Lazar Markovic came for around £25m ($35m) and Mario Balotelli for around £16m ($23m) among others. The former marksman has admitted that he is disappointed to see Alli doing so well for a direct rival instead of donning the red of Liverpool.
The 19-year-old has been one of the key players for Spurs as they challenge Leicester City for the league title, while also building a strong partnership with top scorer Harry Kane. He has already been rewarded with a bumper new contract to ward off suitors and his performances have also seen him break into the senior England squad and is a certainty to make the squad for England Euro 2016 campaign in France later this year.
"Dele Alli is going to be a star - make no mistake about that. I baulk at the fact that Liverpool had this kid and let him go," Aldridge wrote for the Liverpool Echo.
"We've bought so many inept players over the last few years for so much money and you look at what we turned away, it really hurts me to see."
"The kid wanted to play for Liverpool, he was a fan who loved Steven Gerrard when he was younger. He had a manager at MK Dons in Karl Robinson who was keen for him to go to Liverpool."
"So to miss out on him and to now see what he's doing for Spurs and for England, it is hard to take. You can see what a player he'll become, he can play in so many different positions," he added.

» Liberation Theology
Theology Now Its Inheritance
Thu, 20 Sep 2018	| Liberation Theology
Theology now, as in every historical context, has a sense of the legacy bequeathed by the past. A peculiar mark of Western theology in the last two decades is that as the twenty-first century approaches, so its appreciation of the nineteenth seems to increase. Writing from prison in 1944, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, one of the most seminal influences on theology in the second half of the century, commented:
There are so few people now who want to have any intimate spiritual association with the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. [Who] bothers at all now about the work and achievements of our grandfathers, and how much of what they knew have we already forgotten? I believe that people will one day be quite amazed by what was achieved in that period, which is now so disregarded and so little known.
(Bonhoeffer 1971:227)
Perhaps now that prophecy is being fulfilled. Far from the previous century being left behind and outgrown, much of its religious and philosophical thought has returned to question and haunt the present generation, which is increasingly in dialogue with those who brought the Enlightenment to its critical climax and who pioneered theological responses to it. A sketch of how much of theology now sees the main features of that past is therefore vital to understanding the current scene.
There is widespread agreement that in summing up the Enlightenment and in pointing beyond it, Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) redefined the human intellectual task, in both theology and philosophy, in such a way as to provide a continuing challenge down to the present. While Kant believed with the Enlightenment in human reason as the key to knowledge, he radically redefined the scope and role of that reason: it is capable of dealing only with the sensible, empirical world. It does so by applying to the 'phenomena' perceived by the senses the innate or a priori categories with which the human mind operates. Human knowledge is thus a synthesis of the mind working upon sensory data, and thereby contains an irreducibly subjective element. There is no completely 'objective' knowledge of 'things-in-themselves', that is, totally independent of the knowing mind. Along with much else, the traditional metaphysical systems in which the doctrine of God, and the proofs of God's existence, had been framed, collapsed. From Kant onwards, human awareness, subjectivity and feeling became central in Western understanding of 'truth'. Illustrative of this was Kant's own argument for God's existence, based on the human inward moral sense from which the existence of the divine Giver of the moral law could be inferred.
On the Continent, response to the critical situation posited by Kant took several forms. Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834) gave a fresh and long-lasting impulse to Protestant theology by identifying the essence of religion as lying not in knowledge, whether of a scientific or metaphysical kind, nor in the moral sense, but in a specifically religious emotion, the feeling of absolute dependence. G.F.W.Hegel (1770-1831) grappled with Kant in a singularly contrasting way. If, as Kant had argued, knowledge is limited to the scope of reason, then one may as well say that there is nothing outside reason, and therefore reason is itself the basis of reality. On this idealistic premise, therefore, the whole of human, historical reality, and indeed nature as well, was interpreted as the out-working of absolute Spirit or mind in the conditions of finitude, becoming self-conscious in the human mind. Later in the century 'Liberal Protestantism' led by Albrecht Ritschl (1822-89) returned to the ethical emphasis which Kant himself had made so primary, seeing the kingdom of God as the progressive realization of the ethical ideals of human brotherhood as promulgated and exemplified in Jesus.
Amid this diversity of response, one issue stood central: history in general, and in particular the history of Jesus and the Christian movement which somehow flowed from him. For such as Schleiermacher the historical Jesus was important as the definitive example and imparter of the uniquely full consciousness of God. For Hegel and the idealists the figure of Jesus—or at least the doctrines that had been subsequently created about him—had the significance of demonstrating in a particular way the eternal truths of spiritual reality. For Liberal Protestants like Ritschl, and still more so for the celebrated Church historian Adolf von Harnack (1851-1931), it became crucially important to recover the actual 'Jesus of history' as distinct from the Christ of later dogma, so that the specific nature of his ethical teaching could be identified. But at the same time, the element of subjectivity could not be kept out of historical knowledge any more than other areas of human understanding. Is 'objective' historical knowledge of the past, beyond the frames of reference and experiential background of the historian, possible at all? This was the question first explored in depth by Wilhelm Dilthey (18331911). And in reconstructing the past could we get behind the subjectivities and synthetic creations of those who themselves compiled the earliest records? In the Christian case, could we get behind the 'Christ of faith' of the early
Church to the 'historical Jesus'? This last question was posed by Martin Kahler (1835-1912) as one of the most important enquiries which nineteenth-century New Testament scholarship asked itself, just as Soren Kierkegaard (181355) threatened to undermine the whole rationalist and idealist presuppositions with his agonizing recognition that 'truth is subjectivity'.
Perhaps the figure who best sums up the nineteenth century and brings it right into the twentieth is Ernst Troeltsch (1855-1923), in whom elements of the Kantian, idealist and Liberal Protestant approaches can all be seen, within the framework of the most thorough-going historical perspective. For Troeltsch, all human religions are an integral part of the ultimate wholeness of human history. This means that religion is an ineluctable feature of human existence, and that no one religion can claim absolute significance or truth-value over all the others. Christianity can claim to be the one most nearly approaching the absolute, and indeed is the normative one for Western culture. But the absolute can never be wholly manifest within history itself.
In Britain, too, the tendency to emphasize the inwardness of faith and its affinity with moral sensibility, and the divine as an immanent process within nature and human history rather than an external deity controlling from afar or from above, were marked features of nineteenth-century thought, as was the wrestling with the implications of an unqualified commitment to historical (as distinct from purely dogmatic) understanding of religious truth. This can be seen in the explorations of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, in the enquiries of John Henry Newman into the development of dogma and the nature of religious authority, in the authors of Essays and Reviews (1860), and the later High Church Anglicans of the Lux Mundi school (1889).
The fact is that for much of theology now, that century of thought remains deeply significant, and in some ways increasingly so. It is evidenced in the increasing scholarly attention being paid to it by theologians and historians alike. The fundamental reason lies in the fact that the questions being faced then are recognized as the questions still requiring answers now.

Nel 1899 fondò il gruppo teatrale "Moss Empires Ltd", che nel 1905 annoverava 37 teatri di varietà, dei quali il London Hippodrome era il maggiore. Dopo l'ingresso del milionario Richard Thornton, il gruppo si espanse ulteriormente, fino a contare nel 1949 oltre 50 teatri di varietà nel Regno Unito, ed essere ritenuto il maggior gruppo teatrale al mondo.

Nel 1904 il gruppo introdusse il sistema di "quattro spettacoli al giorno" in alcuni dei suoi teatri, ed è stato il primo ad accettare prenotazioni per posti a sedere in un music-hall.

Nel 1905 gli venne riconosciuto il titolo di Sir per la sua attività di impresario teatrale e opere caritatevoli, il primo impresario di varietà a ricevere tale titolo.

USS Sinclair (DD-275) was a Clemson-class destroyer in the United States Navy. She was named for Captain Arthur Sinclair.
2 Fate
Sinclair was laid down on 15 October 1918 by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation, Squantum, Massachusetts; launched on 2 June 1919; sponsored by Mrs. George Barnett, granddaughter of Capt. Sinclair; and commissioned on 8 October 1919, Lt. Cmdr. C. S. Roberts in command.
After shakedown, Sinclair departed Newport, Rhode Island on 17 January 1920 for the Caribbean. Between 7 February and 25 February 1920, she patrolled off the coasts of Honduras and Guatemala during political unrest in those countries. From 13 March to 18 March, she assisted in efforts to salvage the submarine, H-l, aground off Santa Margarita Island, California. She then joined the Pacific Fleet for operations off San Diego, California.
On 9 July 1920, Sinclair embarked the Secretary of the Navy and Commander in Chief, United States Pacific Fleet, at Seattle, Washington, and carried them on a tour of ports in Alaska and British Columbia. The Secretary of the Navy transferred to Idaho (BB-42) on 18 July, and the Commander in Chief to New Mexico (BB-40) upon returning to Puget Sound on 12 August. Sinclair then resumed operations off San Diego until decommissioned and placed in reserve there on 25 May 1920.
On 27 September 1923, Sinclair was recommissioned as a replacement for one of the seven destroyers wrecked on Point Honda on 8 September 1923. After shakedown at San Diego, she sailed south with the Battle Fleet in January 1924, transited the Panama Canal on the 17th, and participated in exercises during the fleet concentration in the Caribbean from 25 January to 5 April. After returning to San Diego on 22 April, she underwent overhaul at Puget Sound from 3 May to 13 June and, after a brief visit to San Diego, rejoined the fleet in the Puget Sound area for a summer exercise. She operated at San Diego from 1 October 1924 to 3 April 1925, was overhauled at Puget Sound from 12 April to 19 June, and rejoined the fleet at Pearl Harbor on 27 June.
On 1 July 1925, Sinclair sailed from Hawaii with the Battle Fleet on a goodwill visit to the Southwest Pacific, and visited Melbourne, Australia; Auckland and Wellington, New Zealand; and American Samoa before returning to San Diego on 26 September. She departed San Diego on 1 February 1926 for fleet exercises off the Canal Zone, returning on 6 March. From 15 March to 30 April, she received repairs at Bremerton; and, on 21 June, departed San Diego with the Battle Fleet for summer exercises off Puget Sound, which lasted until 1 September.
Again departing San Diego with the Battle Fleet on 17 February 1927, Sinclair transited the Panama Canal on 4 March and participated in exercises in the Caribbean until 13 April. On 24 April, she returned to San Diego and then proceeded to Bremerton, Washington for repairs which lasted from 4 May to 28 June 1927. She spent the summer training reserves in the Puget Sound area and returned to San Diego on 9 September.
Sinclair underwent overhaul at Puget Sound from 26 March to 9 May 1928 and rejoined the fleet at Pearl Harbor on 16 May for exercises. Returning to San Diego on 23 June, she sailed on 5 July for summer exercises in the north, lasting to 18 August. From 1 September 1928 to 15 January 1929, she operated off San Diego; and, from 27 January to 21 February, she participated in Fleet Problem IX off Panama. She commenced overhaul at Puget Sound on 17 March 1929 but was ordered decommissioned instead. After returning to San Diego on 8 April 1929, she was decommissioned there on 1 June 1929.
Fate[edit | edit source]
On 22 November 1930, Sinclair was renamed Light Target (IX-37). Due to faulty boilers, however, her conversion to a target ship was cancelled, and she was replaced by Kilty (DD-137). She recovered her original name on 24 April 1931 and her destroyer designation on 11 August 1931.
Sinclair was struck from the Navy list on 5 June 1935 and sold on 30 August 1935 to Learner and Rosenthal, Oakland, California, for scrapping.
As of 2005, no other ship have been named Sinclair.

How to Buy Bitcoin Worldwide?
Home/How to Buy Bitcoin Worldwide?
Bitcoin is a digital coin that you can own through buying or mining. When cryptocurrencies hit the market a few years ago, no one ever thought they would take the world by storm. Over the few years, it is now possible to buy Bitcoin worldwide. You can buy Bitcoin from anywhere as long as you have some funds and an internet connection. Since cryptocurrencies are digital in nature you can buy them online across the globe. Bitcoin is the biggest of all digital coins and is sold through exchanges. All you need is to create a digital wallet and fund it by buying Bitcoins. Whether you are buying from across the street or across the border, you are not charged an extra fee based on distance.
Methods of Buying Bitcoin Worldwide: There are several ways of buying Bitcoin worldwide. The user always chose what is convenient for them. Some of these include the use of fiat currency (cash), credit cards or cryptocurrencies.
There are many exchanges spread across the globe but, there are several with a global reach. Below are some worldwide exchanges with a global appeal and how they work.
CEX.IO is a cryptocurrency exchange where you can buy or sell your Bitcoin. The platform has a worldwide presence and most countries where Bitcoin is allowed are supported. The system allows users to deposit cash through MasterCard or Visa and bank transfers. CEX.IO supports all countries but there are some restricted to bank transfers and credit card-Bitcoin purchases. It is advisable to check the restricted list from their official website before using your credit card or bank transfer. Some of the supported countries include the USA (24 states only), Canada, UK, Finland among others.
CEX.IO is user-friendly and to buy Bitcoin all you need is create and fund account on their webpage. Once you are done with funding the account, you need to link it with your MasterCard/Visa, credit card or debit card. Once your card is verified, you can decide to buy Bitcoin from the CEX.IO trading interface by choosing the price that entices you. You can also choose to buy BTC at the current market price. These are the two more popular options available on the platform. It only takes a few minutes for the purchased Bitcoin to show up in your CEX.IO account balance. You have the freedom to sell your coins anytime. There are no restrictions as to when to buy or sell.
The exchange has a global outlook.
Their vetting process is extensive and seeks to limit users by increasing the buying limits.
LocalBitcoins is an exchange that lets traders buy Bitcoin worldwide. This is a peer-to-peer platform with a global reach. LocalBitcoins is available in almost all countries except the State of New York and Germany. It does not require your personal information to trade. Your personal data is never related to the amount of Bitcoin you purchase. Your trades are kept private and there is no way your transactions can be traced, you can use any payment method available in your country of residence.
You get in-person trades organized fast.
Delivery speeds are entirely dependent on the other party you are dealing with to confirm a transaction.
Coinmama is an online exchange platform where you can convert several coins such as; Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano. The platform was established in 2013 and one of the leading Bitcoin buying marketplace. This is a simple interface that works like PayPal. Coinmama is supported globally except in countries that their website describes as high risk. It is supported in select US States, Europe, South Africa and the UK among other countries.
To buy Bitcoin from Coinmama, you only need to go through three major steps. Their transactions are online, fast and secure.
The first step is to choose your mode of payment. You can choose between credit card, bank transfer or cash.
Depending on the payment option you choose, you will be prompted with simple instructions that are hassle-free.
If you follow the prompts, you complete your payment and confirm that your Bitcoin has been transferred to your specified wallet address.
Coinmama does not offer wallet services and their transaction fees are among the highest in the market. Credit cards and debit card users are charged 5.00% extra.
It is a simple platform to use even for the newbie.
They do not offer wallet services.
This is a global cryptocurrency exchange with wide range digital coins to choose from. It allows traders to sell and buy Bitcoin worldwide. Buying and selling on the platform is instant and you get real-time transaction confirmation. They offer the lowest rates in the crypto to crypto market.
How does the Changelly Platform Work?
The Changelly platform is automated and works like a robot that is integrated into other major exchanges. To buy Bitcoin, you need to create an account first with them and once verified, start buying Bitcoin. The beauty of Changelly is that it accepts buyers from all countries irrespective of the currency they use. The exchange supports all countries in the US, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. However, to buy Bitcoin your local currency will be automatically converted to the USD or Euro. Due to the volatile nature of Bitcoin, there are no fixed rates; you buy at the current rates. The platform has a fixed fee of 0.5% on all Bitcoin purchases.
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital coin that is permissionless and can be used without intermediaries. You are not required to identify yourself when buying Bitcoin. This means all your transactions remain anonymous. Buying Bitcoin worldwide with cash makes your transaction private. Your information remains secure and you cannot fall prey to identity theft. In addition, your transaction cannot be traced by state agents. For the first time buyer, buying Bitcoin with cash is fast; you do not have to wait for your money to be transferred via the bank or go through the verification process at an exchange. Buying BTC worldwide by cash is fast and you end up saving a lot of time. With the volatile nature of Bitcoin, prices change anytime and waiting for bank transfers or verification can cost you more.
Buying Bitcoin in person is a practice that has been used since the invention of the digital coin. This is a person-to-person transaction. This type of trade is through interaction and calls for a lot of trust between the buyer and seller. Such trades happen in Bitcoin meet-ups and are a pleasant way of owning BTC. In person purchases work well when there is trust and you are not charged a big fee. However, the downside is sellers can double cross you and end up losing your cash or sends the money to a different address while aware that the transaction cannot be reversed.
Just like your local bank Automated Teller Machine (ATM), there are specific machines that you can buy Bitcoin using cash. These are Bitcoin Automated Teller Machines. These are found in many major cities where there is a larger number of BTC users. These machines are operational tall times. This method is safe and secure.
Cryptocurrency Exchanges are online systems where you can buy, exchange and sell digital currencies. These are the best platforms for buying Bitcoin worldwide. They are secure, fast and you are not restricted to your location. All you need is create a digital wallet where you store the BTC purchased.
Buying Bitcoin worldwide using a credit card is very easy; however not all exchanges accept this form of payments before you create an account, you need to do some research on which platforms accept credit cards. Once you identify an exchange accepting your card, you create an account and once verified you can buy your Bitcoin. All you need is to create a digital wallet with a provider of your choice. You might be subjected to a verification process and once you are accepted, you can link your credit card with your wallet, transfer the amount you need to purchase BTC with and buy. CEX.IO and Coinmama accept credit cards. You need to check first before making any transaction since there are some countries where they do not accept credit card payments.
Transactions are fast and verification takes a few minutes.
You do not have to use third parties making transactions fees low.
There are also some private channels like Western Union and cash that you can use to buy Bitcoin worldwide. However, these are slow and sometimes you need to trust your partner that the deal does not go sour. Western Union is a money processing platform that has been existence and you can only send money hoping the recipient will receive it and deposit the same value of Bitcoin to your wallet. Western Union available worldwide and the process is not transparent. There is no way you can trust the Bitcoin seller or agent with your cash and hope they will own the trade. This calls for due diligence before sending money.
Their transaction fees are moderate depending on your location.
Just like buying Bitcoin worldwide with PayPal, using internet payment services like Skrill, Neteller and Paysafecard have limitations. However, you can buy BTC using Skrill through Localbitcoins and Bitpanda– this is an Australian Based exchange which acts as a broker. It is online based and you can purchase from anywhere worldwide. They do not have fixed fee but the price will be shown when checking out. You only need to create an account, get it confirmed through an SMS and fund it using EURO. Once funded, you can buy your BTC.
Buying Bitcoin worldwide through bank transfer has become very popular. It is one of the most trusted ways to buy BTC. There is no risk involved since the bank does the transaction on your behalf. However, you need to first check if the service is available in your country. The process is straightforward; you identify an exchange that accepts bank transfer as a method of buying Bitcoin. When verified, you need to fund your bank account with the amount of fiat you are ready to use, transfer the amount to the exchange and provide then with your BTC wallet address where the digital coin will be sent. Some of the exchanges that accept bank transfers include CEX.IO and Coinmama.
This is a conventional money transfer platform that you can now use to buy Bitcoin worldwide. However, PayPal is only available in select countries and does not have a global appeal. To get started, you need to select the exchange that accepts the money processor create an account and fund it using PayPal. From there you can buy your BTC and store it in your digital wallet. PayPal accepting exchanges charge the highest fee in the market and chargebacks are also expensive.
The Bitcoin payment protocol was designed in such a way that only 7 transactions are verified every one second. Only one complete block can be mined within 10 minutes. This affects the handling speed of each transaction made through the network. When the handling speed of a payment method is factored in, some bitcoin payments take longer to process when compared to others. In general, however, bitcoin payments accompanied with a high miner's fee are verified faster compared to those with low miners' fee attached to them.
Currently, there is no official exchange rate for Bitcoin. The rates vary from one exchange to the other and it is important to do a background check on the rates before making a purchase. Cryptocurrencies are volatile in nature and the price changes in no time making hard to have a fixed rate. These rates are not affected by where you are buying from but by market forces including demand and supply.
When buying Bitcoin Worldwide, the fee is calculated using the purchase amount you enter. If the fee is set at 1.4 percent and you want to buy $100 the total amount that you need in your wallet will be $100 plus 1.4%. When selling the fee is subtracted from the amount you enter and these fees are dependent on the exchange you are using and not where you are located.
There are limitations when it comes to buying BTC worldwide. There are some countries where you cannot buy Bitcoin. This happens to prevent fraud or money laundering just to protect the users. Before using any exchange services, confirm if they allow users from your country.
Different exchanges have different forms of verification when it comes to Bitcoin buying. Most of the verification is however done online and it does not usually affect where you are buying Bitcoin from. If your identity is from countries restricted by the exchange, you automatically cannot be allowed to buy from them.
Storing your BTC is very important; you need to be careful when choosing your digital wallet. Wallets are just like your bank account; the only difference is that you are storing virtual currency. There are two types of wallet; Hot and cold wallets. Hot wallets are online and are prone to hacks. The private keys are stored in your online wallet and are not very safe. All your transactions are done through a device that is online and can be hacked or even stolen. Cold storages are the best since your information including your private keys is stored off-line. This could be a USB, safe deposit box or on paper. This is easy to keep and cannot be hacked unless you grant others access to the secret keys to your wallet.
Given that Bitcoin is a virtual coin and transactions are anonymous, regulating it has always been difficult. Bitcoin can only be tracked through a ledger with user information stored in a digital wallet. To regulate it for tax purposes has always been difficult and different countries handle BTC differently.
The new tax laws enforced in the US earlier in the year make it clear that all Bitcoin transactions are taxable. Converting one bitcoin into ethereum will attract taxes. Bitcoin miners will also be required to pay self-employment taxes. But other than that, the Bitcoin industry is largely unregulated in the US.
Currently, you can buy BTC freely whether you are a resident in Germany of you are using the services of exchanges located in Germany. Whether you are buying goods or services using BTC, the Germany government will not tax you since tracing the transaction and taxing the user is currently not possible.
Plans are underway to regulate Bitcoin in Europe but at the moment anyone in Europe can sell or buy BTC worldwide. This might happen in the near future if the risks involved in the digital money markets are not minimized.
Chine has been pushing for the regulation and taxation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but this has not been adopted to date. However, bans on some exchanges and launching of new ICOs seem to have affected the Bitcoin trade in China with the effects being felt worldwide.
At the time of writing, there are no Bitcoin regulations in India and users are not being taxed for spending BTC. However, the finance authorities and the RBI has tried and failed in regulating the digital currency in the sub-continent.
The growth of Bitcoin appears unstoppable despite the risks involved, however, buying of BTC worldwide calls for due diligence and it is important to approach the trade with a lot of caution. You can only invest what you are ready to lose.

Steel is a Family Affair for Dan Simmons — and He's Counting on President Trump to Act
Jeffrey Bonior Researcher/Writer, AAM
The Commerce Department on Jan. 11 sent President Trump the findings of its "Section 232" investigation into steel imports. Steelworkers and steel companies are now counting on Trump to act to defend good-paying jobs — and our national security — from foreign imports. In an occasional series, we catch up with steelworkers across the country to get their thoughts about the president's impending decision.
The U.S. Steel mill in Granite City, Ill. has been part of Dan Simmons' entire life. His father worked there as a general foreman, and Simmons become a steelworker right after finishing high school at the age of 18.
Simmons will celebrate his 40th anniversary at Granite City Works in August, and he certainly has seen a lifetime of changes at the mill.
When Simmons was hired in 1978, there were approximately 4,800 employees on staff. It was a fully integrated steel mill that could compete in almost any sector of steelmaking.
Today, Granite City Works struggles to stay open with about 700 workers.
This is because American steelmakers are under attack from China, Russia and other countries that dump their cheap, government-subsidized steel into the global market, selling it for less than American companies can manufacture the products. This has devastated the American steel industry — which operates in an open market and thus cannot compete with foreign governments — and led to dozens of plant closings and tens of thousands of job layoffs.
But relief for the American steel industry is as close as President Trump's signature. The administration is currently reviewing a "Section 232" investigation into whether foreign steel threatens our national security, and the president can now act at any time to remedy the situation and defend American industry.
Simmons, as president of United Steelworkers Local 1899, has rallied his members in support of a positive Section 232 ruling.
"Our guys have been more educated in the last three or four years when it comes to tariffs and steel imports, and they understand what it is to have tariffs and fight these guys globally where we never had to be that way before," Simmons said. "We talk about it in depth because if affects their livelihoods.
"I think President Trump has all the information he needs from the 232 investigations and the Commerce Department knows there is a serious problem. Our future is totally reliant on this decision."
The entire steelmaking process at Granite City, a St. Louis suburb, was halted in December 2015 when nearly 1,800 employees were laid off. Today, some of them are back at work, but the mill is only doing a small amount of finishing work on steel slabs coming from U.S. Steel's Gary Works in Indiana and Edgar Thomson Works in Pennsylvania.
"I know with the 232 Trump has options," Simmons said. "It's good, better or best. If he gives us a small percentage on the tariffs it might not help much. If it's a better percentage, it will help us, but if he gives us a big percentage, it's going to help us a lot."
A favorable decision by Trump with substantial tariffs could bring at least 700 employees back to the job at Granite City Works, according to Simmons. That would enable the mill to restart the blast furnaces and begin making hot-rolled steel again.
"It afforded us an opportunity to have a piece of the pie. That's what steelworker jobs can do for you... Without this job I doubt it would have happened." Dan Simmons
Granite City Works is unique in that it has the capability of making steel for a variety of niche markets, including automotive, appliances, construction, sheeting tin, pipe tube and other specialty markets.
"This was a mini-mill before mini-mills were built," Simmons said. "We could do everything from rock to the docks. We had our own coke batteries, coke ovens, we made our own pig iron that we torpedoed over to finishing. We had our own blast furnaces meaning we could make any kind of recipe or whatever you want to call it. We could make so many different products with our Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF).
"We can make everything from automotive to OCTG (Oil Country Tubular Goods) to hot band all the way to finish products. We do coating and galvanizing, and before they shut us down, we were successful with high tensile steel."
Simmons, like most employees of Granite City Works, has been able to live a comfortable, middle-class lifestyle, buying a suitable home, raising three children and paying for their educations. He also has educated his union workforce.
"Like most of the workers here, I was able to afford a modest home and raise a family with a nice middle-class job," said Simmons. "We've had good health insurance, which was huge because all of my kids played sports and I still do as an old man.
"It afforded us an opportunity to have a piece of the pie. That's what steelworker jobs can do for you. It has been comfortable. Without this job I doubt it would have happened."

Artificial Intelligence Can Change The Landscape For Good!
The pace of innovation has shown overwhelming growth over the past few years. It is practically becoming impossible for an individual to keep up with every single technological change that is happening around the world. With every passing second, the applied sciences come up with something more advanced and completely transforms the course of things. Amongst all of these dynamic technological transformations happening around us, artificial intelligence is one area that has secured for itself a noteworthy place.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has spread its roots in every arena. People from all backgrounds are savoring the benefits of artificial intelligence without even realizing it. Whenever you are booking a cab on your phone, using google or apple maps, scrolling through social media applications on your smartphone, or operating your smart devices at home, you are basically being assisted by artificial intelligence.
2018 has already witnessed tremendous growth in AI and as 2019 is progressing, tech-enthusiasts predict that growth will continue with the same vigor and speed. Many startups are basing their complete growth on AI technology and it has already been adopted by well-established tech-giants like IBM, Google, and Amazon. Artificial intelligence is, thus, the reason behind enhancing our user experience and making our lives easier.
But, What Does Artificial Intelligence Have In Store For Entrepreneurs?
The benefits of artificial intelligence have extended beyond the larger enterprises. It is no longer limited to firms having extensive financial resources, highly skilled staff, and advanced IT infrastructure alone. In fact, in recent years, small and medium-sized businesses have also been able to enhance work efficiency and enjoy greater returns on investment with the technological advancement that comes with artificial intelligence.
Businesses strive for coherence. Talk about operational efficiency and artificial intelligence automatically pops up in one's mind. Not only does it help save time and money, but also speeds up a number of tasks that were previously done manually. For example, people often forget to meet with their prospective clients for lunch or fail to remember they had a meeting to attend on priority. With the help of voice assistants on their smartphones, entrepreneurs can set reminders about anything and everything they think is crucial.
This has two implications: One, your smartphone has replaced your pocket diary, your alarm clock, and the constant need to jot down the necessary stuff. And two, you become a more organized person with little or no effort.
Your customers may want your assistance 24*7. But it is not practically viable to be available throughout the day. As a new entrepreneur, you may have a series of tasks to manage alone, and it is physically not feasible for you to tackle every single query for your customers. For example, you may be running an accounting and tax software hosting company, and you wish to provide 24*7 support to your clients. In order to enhance your online presence, you can install AI-powered chatbots. These chatbots provide your customers support on-demand, replacing your human workforce in their absence.
There are several AI-powered software that can perform repetitive tasks with great efficiency. This permits humans to shift their focus from tasks that do not need much thinking to those that require efficiency and knowledge and can only be performed by humans. In short, automation promotes better allocation of resources, both human as well as financial, to eventually save time, money, and improve business performance.
For example, accounting software such as QuickBooks helps to significantly automate a number of tasks that were otherwise done manually. With the advent of cloud computing, this useful software can also be hosted on the cloud and is popular as QuickBooks hosting.
Incorporating artificial intelligence is in itself a way of doing smart business. Businesses, whether big or small, are no longer shying away from making technological investments. And when investments are involved, better returns are expected. Artificial intelligence does numerous tasks in less time, with efficiency, and without errors. And when employees are freed from routine tasks, more time and energy can be devoted to innovation and expansion. AI is doing just that!
Each year, companies spend billions of dollars on their employees in commitments such as health and dental insurance policies, learning and development, paid vacations, training sessions, among many other employee benefit packages. With artificial intelligence and advanced software, some employees can be replaced with machines. This gives way to a reduction in the employee expenditure budget, promoting savings for crucial business pursuits.
A lot of people are skeptical about the effects of artificial intelligence. While some individuals panic that robots will take over humanity, others may worry about losing their jobs to artificial intelligence. But, the reality is that businesses cannot escape from artificial intelligence. To stay ahead in the competition and to keep from losing their most valued customers, entrepreneurs have to resort to artificial intelligence after a certain point.

Lucknow: Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has announced that a grand city named after Lord Vishnu would be developed in UP, with a spectacular temple inspired by Cambodia's famous Angkor Wat, if his party is voted to power.
Interestingly, Yadav's comments come after senior BJP leader and UP Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya raised the Ram temple issue last week and suggested that there could be a legislative route for the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
"We will develop a city in the name of Lord Vishnu over 2,000 acres of land near Lion Safari (Etawah). We have a lot of land in Chambal ravines, and the city will have a grand Vishnu temple that will be a copy of famous Angkor Wat temple," Yadav, a former UP chief minister, told PTI.
Earlier, Maurya had said that if the need arises, a Bill for the construction of a Ram temple could be brought in the Parliament. The UP deputy chief minister had suggested that the Bill could be brought if there was "no way out" and his party had the adequate strength in both houses of Parliament.
"At present, in Parliament, we do not have the adequate strength. Even if we bring the matter in the Lok Sabha, our strength in the Rajya Sabha is less, and it will definitely be defeated. Every devotee of Lord Ram knows this. The court will soon give its judgement", Maurya had said.
Yadav, however, promised that if voted to power, he will develop a city in the name of Lord Vishnu, whose incarnations were Lord Ram and Lord Krishna .
A team of experts will be sent to Cambodia to plan the city, which will be a centre for culture and knowledge of our ancient times, the SP chief said.
Angkor Wat in Cambodia is one of the largest religious complexes in the world. It is believed that it was originally dedicated to Lord Vishnu but gradually transformed into a Buddhist temple.
Yadav attacked the BJP claiming it was a party which did nothing on the ground.
