Fukushima, June 24 (Jiji Press)–Municipalities in Fukushima Prefecture, home to Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s stricken Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant, are increasingly calling for a second round of decontamination work as radiation levels remain above the Japanese government's target in some places.
Decontamination work has already been carried out in many residential areas in the northeastern Japan prefecture, but radiation levels in some cases have not dropped to an annual radiation dose of one millisievert or below, the long-term goal set by the government.
Tagged with De/Contamination, Fukushima municipalities, second round.


Simon Clarke secured the acquittal of the driver of the truck which delivered a container holding 35 illegal immigrants, one of whom had died, to Zeebrugge port and later discovered at Tilbury. His case had been that his employer had duped him into doing the run without any knowledge of the immigrants in the container. His employer was later convicted of being involved in that crime.
In September of this year the same driver, again represented by Simon Clarke, faced a trial for the theft of a container holding a valuable cargo of copper wire. Again his employer, who had earlier admitted the charge, duped our client and again our client was acquitted of the charge, this time after hearing legal argument from Simon Clarke, who argued that it would be an affront to the justice system and therefore wrong to try him at all. The Judge agreed with Simon and ordered the charge to be dismissed.


Infusing sophistication in any decor, this refined porcelain vase is best showcased on a console or side table with tall-stemmed flowers or branches. This vase is unique for the crafting and decorative techniques used to bring it to life. The color pigments are first placed on a flat surface in a pattern of large cobalt-blue circles with a string of smaller gold circles; a rectangular slab is then placed onto the pigments to set and create a smooth, uniform surface. The slab is finally wrapped on a cylindrical mold to give it its final shape that enhances the dynamism of its geometric pattern.


Improve the frontend of your Magento 2 website with the ability to print product data in a professional format. Allow customers to print PDFs for offline usage. This will be useful for both B2B and B2C customers. And you can achieve this goal with the help of the Magedelight Product PDF Print Magento 2 module. Below, we explore the extension's core features and explain how to use it (both backend and frontend tutorials are available.
Note that this is a light version of the PDF Catalog Print Advance.
The core aim of the Magedelight Product PDF Print Magento 2 module is seamless generation of customizable PDF catalogs. Unfortunately, the default Magento 2 platform doesn't provide this feature, so you need a third-party module to provide customers with printed materials.
With Magedelight Product PDF Print for Magento 2, your customers will be able to both print catalogs or save them for further usage. And there is the ability to customize each new catalog, providing a unique shopping experience.
Another important feature is the support for QR codes. Each product page of your catalog gets a QR code that can be scanned with a smartphone redirecting customer to a product pare where the appropriate item can be purchased. This makes your Magento 2 PDF catalog not only highly informative, but also easy to use: there is no need to browse for the selected product – simple QR code scanning does all the job.
As for the customization parameters, they are related to color and fonts. We describe this aspect of the Magedelight Product PDF Print Magento 2 extension in more details below. And you can use HTML tags to generate catalog.
Now, when the core features of the module are described, we can look under the hood exploring the extension's backend.
As usually, we start our backend exploration from the configuration section that is availables under Stores -> Settings -> Configuration -> MageDelight -> Product PDF Print Settings. 5 sections of settings are available here: License Configuration, General Configuration, Fonts, Text Format Options, and PDF Document Header / Footer Configuration.
In the first one, specify serial key and activation key. You get both after purchasing Magedelight Product PDF Print.
In General Configuration, enable the extension on frontend and upload a cover page image. Next, you can enable additional product images and specify their amount, display up-sell and related products in the catalog, as well as enable QR codes.
Then, it is possible to show hide links to wish list, compare, and reviews. Also note that the Magedelight Product PDF Print Magento 2 module supports customer groups. Thus, you can enable the module for B2B clients only or hide it from unregistered customers. The last option in this section allows to add HTML tags to both description and short description.
In Fonts, you can specify regular and bold fonts as well as upload your own fonts.
As for Text Formatting Options, they are designed to configure colors for product titles, links, and attribute heading.
In PDF Document Header / Footer Configuration, upload header logo and type footer text.
Now, when your Magedelight Product PDF Print Magento 2 module is configured, we can proceed to the backend creation of the PDF catalog. Go to Products -> Inventory -> PDF Catalog Booklet. Select a category you want to print a catalog for and hit the Print Product Booklet button.
You will be redirected to the PDF catalog generation page. When the process is complete, hit the download link.

Floating the mysterious Bruneau River is worth the work – Idaho Statesman
River guide Sparky Easom yells out commands as the paddle raft with six passengers pinballs through Cave Rapid, one of the first Class IV (expert) rapids on Idaho's remote Bruneau River.
A raft on the Bruneau River is framed by steep canyon walls few people see. Paddle raft guide Sparky Easom's eyes are focused on roaring whitewater downstream on the Bruneau River. "Paddles ready," he says to his passengers. "It's a place of wonder," river guide Jessie Jarvis said about the wilderness canyon southeast of Boise. Guides Sadie Grossbaum and Jessie Jarvis prepare a dinner at camp on the Bruneau River. It's easy to relish the lunch spots on the Bruneau River. Loaded with rafting gear, a Far and Away Adventures truck creaks its way down the last steep and rocky segment of the road to the Bruneau River canyon. A raft on the Bruneau River is framed by steep canyon walls few people see. Paddle raft guide Sparky Easom's eyes are focused on roaring whitewater downstream on the Bruneau River. "Paddles ready," he says to his passengers.
Easom coordinates the forward and back paddling of the passengers, and the raft zig-zags through a maze of boulders that need the expertise of a veteran river runner.
"Easy does it. Take a break."
It's late May and the Bruneau's flows, after four years of low water and canceling trips, are perfect for the 40-mile wilderness whitewater run in a pristine, 1,200-foot canyon known for being hard to float, hard to reach and hard to predict.
That's right. You have to catch the Bruneau River while you can, and for many, it's a bucket list expedition they want to catch.
Desert roads that tend to be greasy wet have to be passable. River flows have to be just right where they can be run in kayaks and rafts — not too high and not too low. The running season can be months, a few weeks or mere days. The season can be anywhere from April to mid-June, depending on snowpack in the 10,500-foot Jarbidge Mountains on the Idaho-Nevada border, which feeds the river.
Contemplating all the variables, a time can come when all conditions are perfect, and then a desert downpour gums up roads and makes river flows too high to run.
Steve Lentz, who owns Far and Away Adventures out of Sun Valley with his wife, Annie, was watching the river, roads and weather all spring trying to bet on the best days to launch. "You basically roll the dice," he said.
He picked the fourth week in May. Several of his guides scouted the river in the preceding weeks. Anticipating guests got emails that it was a go.
Still, just days before the trip, certain sections of the roughly 50 miles of desert roads leading to the launch site turned into axle-deep quicksand. Back roads going into the Bruneau Canyon can turn into a greasy frying pan of infamous Owyhee gumbo from one freak desert storm. Owyhee gumbo is an extremely sticky goo that results when rain hits the talcum powder dirt. Just add water and it's like Elmer's Glue on tires.
At the last minute, it was a definite go, but still with hesitations on what the rafting convoy of four-wheel-drive vehicles loaded with rafts, raft frames, coolers, food and other gear would find.
In the end, the expedition gets to the launch site on the Bruneau downstream from the confluence of the Jarbidge and West Fork of the Bruneau rivers. The river "put-in" is a gateway into an ancient lava rock canyon of orange-brown, black, gray and seemingly blue colored walls, red cliffs and Christmas tree like junipers. Around each bend are spire-like hoodoos shooting hundreds of feet skyward, deep dark caves and pastel-gray volcanic columns.
The canyon is the home of a variety of wildlife, such as bighorn sheep, songbirds, hawks, redband trout and river otters. Western tanagers escort rafters downstream — yellow flashes flittering from juniper to juniper. The south-north canyon is a migration highway for them in spring as they head to Central Idaho's high country.
All this is hidden from most people.
The Bruneau is a secret canyon in Southwest Idaho's sagebrush plain, located between 90 and 120 miles southeast of Boise. Look across the sage flatlands as you leave the farming town of Bruneau and you don't even know there's a river canyon out there. Miles and miles of sage go by and still no canyon. Then, suddenly there is a gash in the earth and the river appears like a tiny mocha-colored ribbon in the distance.
The Bruneau gets its life-blood flows from fresh snowmelt in the Jarbidge Mountains of northern Nevada and drains north through an area called the Owyhee Uplands. It eventually ends up in the Snake River, one of Idaho's major rivers.
Despite the struggles of putting together such an expedition on a remote river, Far and Away Adventures, a wilderness river outfitter, serves up a luxury trip. For the average person who is not an expert river runner, the best way to experience the Bruneau is on an outfitted trip.
On the river, wetsuits, lifejackets and helmets are provided along with the expertise of guides who have PhDs in whitewater.
Off the river and in camp, guides provide gourmet meals and fine wine; huge, spacious tents and cots with sleeping bags lined with flannel; and plenty of waterproof bags for personal gear. Guides set up camp tents as guests take a hike or relax in lawn chairs taking in the grandiose scenery.
After a day of paddling, it's so relaxing to sit in a lawn chair and anticipate an exquisite dinner. How river guides can get all the fixings for a dinner is a wonder: caprese skewers with balsamic reduction drizzle; spring spinach salad with strawberries; candied nuts and feta cheese and citrus dressing; grilled Basque lamb lolipops in a cabernet, soy ginger garlic marinade; grilled lemon peppered asparagus spears; and sweet potato casserole with pecan crumble.
And, after a day of vigorous paddling, there's still room for dessert — Dutch oven whole-baked cinnamon apples with handed whipped cream topping.
Relaxing after dinner with daylight fading and a fire burning in a fire pan, it's easy to reminisce on the river, the road coming in and the canyon's mystery. With all its inaccessibility and hard work to get to, the wonder of the Bruneau River never grows old. Just ask guides who know the river up close and personal.
"The Bruneau creates curiosity in me. It's a place of wonder," says river guide Jessie Jarvis, who rows one of the large gear rafts. She and fellow guide Sadie Grossbaum clean up after dinner and talk about how special the canyon is to them.
"The Bruneau Canyon is a different planet," said Grossbaum, who never knew it was here while growing up in Idaho.
For many, the Bruneau River is on a bucket list. "I had one guy who had done 17 rivers. After doing the Bruneau, it was at the top of the list," Lentz said.
It's also an incredible trip for whitewater newcomers. Michael Scott of Sun Valley had only done day trips on whitewater rivers. The Bruneau was his first multi-day trip. "It is a fantastic journey, an amazing run. The Bruneau is definitely worth the wait," he said after a day of whitewater and canyon scenery.
Luckily, the wonders of the Bruneau are preserved forever. Congress designated the 89,820-acre Bruneau-Jarbidge Rivers Wilderness in 2009 and the canyon as protected rim to rim. The area is so unique that visitors joke if it was in another state, say like Kansas, it would probably be a national park.
It's the last morning on the Bruneau River and nature's alarm clock goes off. It's a symphony of birds greeting the first faint rays of daylight.
It's an orchestra of chirps, squawks, chatters and tweets, much like the sounds of trumpets, flutes, clarinets and bassoons reverberating off the canyon walls. The background accompaniment is the percussion sounds of the river.
It's also the final leg of the river with an infamous section called Five Mile Rapids. In the mix are Boneyard, Nemesis and Wild Burro thundering up ahead and raring to bounce, buck and douse paddlers.
Luckily, we have paddle guide Sparky Easom calling out commands.

Other Abstract One of the most important functions in the individual development is the interaction and integration of each sensory input. There exist two competing theories, i.e. the deficiency theory and the compensatory theory, regarding the origin and nature of changes in visual functions observed after auditory deprivation. The deficiency theory proposed that integrative processes are essential for normal development. In contrast, the compensatory theory stated that the loss of one sense may be met by a greater reliance upon, therefore an enhancement of the remaining senses. Given that hearing impaired children's learning depends primarily on visual information, it is important to recognize the differences of visual attention between them and their hearing age-mates. Differences among age groups could exist in either selectivity or sustained attention. Study 1 and study 2 explored the selective and sustained attention development of hearing impaired and hearing students with average cognitive ability, aged from 7 years to college students. The analysis and discussion of the results are based on the visual attention development as well as deficiency theory and compensatory theory. According to the results of the study 1 and study 2, the spatial distribution and controlling of the visual attention between hearing impaired and hearing students were also investigated in the study 3 and study 4. The present work showed that: Firstly, both hearing impaired and hearing participants had the similar developmental trajectory of the sustained attention. The ability of children's sustained attention appeared to improve with age, and in adolescence it reached the peak. The hearing impaired participants had the comparable sustained attention skills to the matched hearing ones. Besides, the results of the hearing impaired participants showed that they could maintain their attention and vigilance on the current task over the observation period. Secondly, group differences of visual attention development were found between hearing impaired and hearing participants. In the childhood, the visual attention developmental speed of the hearing impaired children was slower than that of the hearing ones. The selective attention skill of the hearing impaired were not comparable to the hearing ones, however, their selective skill improved with age, so in the adulthood, hearing impaired students showed the slight advantage in the selective attention skill over the hearing ones. Thirdly, hearing impaired and hearing participants showed the similar spatial distribution in the attention resources. In the low perceptual load condition, both participants were suffered great interference of the distrator at the fixation. In contrast, in the high perceptual load condition, hearing impaired adults were suffered more interference of the peripheral distractor, which suggested that they distributed more attention resources to the peripheral field when faced difficult tasks. Fourthly, both groups showed similar processing in the visual attention tasks. That is, they both searched the target with only the color feature in a parallel way, but in a serial way while processing orientation feature and the features with the combination of the color and orientation. Furthermore, the results indicated that two groups show similar ways in the attention controlling. In summary, the present study showed that visual attention development was dependent upon the integration of multimodal sensory information. Because of the interaction and integration of the input from various sensory, it has a negative impact on the intact sensory at the early stage of one sensory loss, however, it can better the functions of other intact sensory gradually with development and practice.

Lenovo's DX8200C Powered by Cloudian Provides Object Storage to Enterprises
Tuesday Jun 19th 2018 by Paul Ferrill
Lenovo has teamed with Coudian on an appliance that combines the Lenovo DX8200C platform with Cloudian Hyperstore to provide object storage.
If you know anything about storing large amounts of data in the cloud, you're probably aware of Amazon's S3 object storage service. Lenovo has partnered with Coudian to provide a storage appliance that combines the Lenovo DX8200C platform with the Cloudian Hyperstore software to bring object storage to the enterprise.
Lenovo sent us three of these systems to test out a 3-way redundant configuration. It actually works fine with just two boxes connected, which is how we did our testing. This setup was a little less complicated to get up and running, although adding the third system would not have been hard to do.
Replication can happen between systems connected locally or over the Internet. All communications use encrypted channels to ensure the data isn't compromised.
The DX8200C platform provides a solid foundation for the Cloudian Hyperstore software. A total of fourteen 3.5-inch drive slots house 8GB SATA disks for a total of 112 TB of available storage. Two Micron 480GB SSD disks configured in a RAID 1 mirror serve as boot disks for the appliance. A single Intel Xeon CPU E5-2630 v4 CPU with 96 GB of memory provides more than adequate CPU and memory resources for this system.
On the networking front, the system includes two Intel X520 Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ adapters for a total of four 10 GbE ports. These serve primarily as replication ports between other systems. You could connect these systems directly without the need for a 10 GbE switch, if you so desired, and have four interconnected systems using point-to-point networking.
Lenovo's Integrated Management Module provides low-level access to the hardware to monitor operations and perform maintenance tasks such as updating the system BIOS or adapter firmware. Figure 1 shows the system properties page with temperatures of various components and current power status.
Lenovo DX8200C - Figure 1 (Click for larger image)
Figure 2 shows the system information with hot links to bring up the page for details on specific components like cooling, power and other primary sub-systems. It's also possible to restart the machine from the IMM should that be necessary.
Software for the Lenovo DX8200C
Cloudian's Hyperstore software comes ready to run on the DX8200C with minimal configuration. The primary items needing adjustment involve the IP addresses for the network ports. Cloudian provides a separate network configuration document to lead you through the process of adjusting the necessary files to accommodate your specific network environment. We were able to make the appropriate changes in under fifteen minutes.
Once the system is up and running you can manage everything through the Cloudian Hyperstore web interface. The first steps would be to configure users either manually or by connecting to a local active directory service.
Cloudian Hyperstore supports any LDAP-based authentication system should you not have an Active Directory Domain controller. Once connected to the directory service you must manually grant access to specific groups of users.
The Hyperstore web interface provides a dashboard with the status of the storage system to include performance and capacity graphs (see Figure 3). This page has hot links allowing you to drill down for more detailed information such as that shown in Figure 4.
The alerts page shows any system message needing attention by an administrator. In this case, a log message indicating a drive repair had been accomplished successfully was displayed and needed to be acknowledged.
Managing users and storage also happens through the Web interface. Individual users connect to this same Web page to manage their data on the server.
To upload or download files from the server you must use the Web interface or some other programmatic method. Cloudian supports the Amazon S3 interface, which is also supported by a large number of backup vendors. Example code in Python and other languages for directly accessing files is readily available from a number of sources.
It should be mentioned at this point that OpenStack also uses the S3 API interface for their Ceph object storage platform. The Hyperstore Web interface includes the ability to enter Amazon credentials should you want to replicate your storage to the cloud.
This replication is bi-directional, which requires moving data into and out of Amazon's S3 storage so it's a good idea to understand your replication volume requirements before you turn this feature on to avoid a large bill from Amazon.
While object storage has been around for quite some time it hasn't achieved mass adoption at the user level. Many enterprises have adopted object storage for high-end data projects, but it isn't something the typical user would know about. That may change in the future as users demand more storage for personal use.
Cloudian also offers a file-based appliance that provides access to SMB and NFS protocols on the front end with object storage on the back end. While this would not be where you would want to provision your high-performance applications, it could serve as a cost-effective alternative to traditional NAS or SAN storage.

The weather seems to be getting nicer and I've stored away my winter Parka!! Good thing I purchased this blush pink coat from Banana Republic. It's warm, the perfect length and the most beautiful blush pink. A wool coat is a must in your closet and here's mine.
Sometimes all you need is a little casual outfit over the weekend for running errands. Wearing black on black is great during this season, but I always like to add a little color to my black outfits. If you know me, you know I love colors. A pink scarf, and a pink purse is the perfect little touch.


In 1971, Motor Racing fan Roman Polanski spent a weekend with world champion driver Jackie Stewart as he attempted to win the Monaco Grand Prix. Polanski was given intimate access to Stewart's world for three days, both on the track and off. The result is an extraordinarily rare glimpse into the life of a gifted athlete at the height of his powers.
Forty years on, Polanski and Stewart meet once again. In a remarkable post-script, they discuss the sport, both past and present, with a unique and unmatched perspective.

OX offers one of Reykjavik's most intimate dining experiences, with two chefs serving about 11 diners each evening. The degustation-style meal promises a delicious introduction to the bounty of Iceland's land and sea; OX's primary chef-founder Þráinn Freyr Vigfússon excels in the art and craft of weaving together ingredients in a way that tantalises and thrills. With bar-style seating around the open kitchen, it's an experience that feels deeply personal, with opportunities galore to chat with the chefs and the other guests.
The culinary voyage goes on for hours, with a seemingly ceaseless parade of pleasures - smoky celeriac and cheese dumplings on hay; chicken liver pate with sea buckthorn; tomatoes with lovage; ponnukokur pancake with lumpfish roe and cultured cream; ground-baked rye bread with whipped butter; monkfish with baked lardo, poached cucumbers and wild onion sauce; and Omnom chocolate with chanterelles (!) and hazelnuts, washed down with Bjork birch liqueur.

For the last few days, there is a boom in the international coverage of the protests in Turkey and the appalling police brutality against the civilian demonstrators. Now, everybody knows that what has started on 27 May, as a peaceful ?occupy? event in Taksim Gezi Park against the demolition of the only green area at the heart of Istanbul, has taken another turn. Among many reports sharing the basic facts with the international community more accurately than the mainstream Turkish media, many keen analysts trying to make sense of the sudden social eruption have drawn parallels between the Arab spring and the civilian protests noting that the protests ?sow the seeds of Turkish spring?[1] and the Taksim protests which spread to 60+ provinces in Turkey by the third day might become PM ?Erdo?an?s Tahrir square?

First off: Do not believe the reports in the media saying that Deputy PM Arınç has apologized. His words were directed to a very small group (the activists attacked in the park on the first night of the events), completely disregarding those killed and the thousands injured by police violence since the beginning; and his ?apology? sounded more like a f*** you. Some people have a way of making anything sound that way? (Here?s a Turkish video of the ?apology?)
Living in Taksim – Daily Report June 4, 2013
Spent most of the day indoors again, my cold is receding though. When I went out to the park at around 20:30, it was even more crowded than the previous days. people are celebrating, singing. There's a field hospital, the kitchen is running, and now there's a small library as well. Everyone is kind towards one another – apparently even on the subway. We went to eat something at Kitchenette on the square, the service, which is usually polite but slow, was kind, fast, and as odd as it sounds, gentle. They let people (and there are tens of thousands on the square) use their bathrooms, let them charge their phones and access free wifi.
I've been away from my blog for far too long. This may be a good time to come back, to post my daily experiences during the most unusual times Istanbul has seen in my lifetime. These are just brief notes, nothing too exciting possibly, but as a resident of Taksim, I have a closer view on the park than most people…

Many thanks to all who joined us in Baltimore and Philadelphia in recent days to celebrate the 200th birthday of St. John Neumann!
On Sunday, March 27, dozens of people gathered at St. Alphonsus Church in Baltimore, MD, for a special Mass celebrated by Baltimore Archbishop Edwin F. O'Brien. St. John Neumann was once pastor of St. Alphonsus, and he was ordained a bishop in that church on his 41st birthday in 1852.
Like us, St. John Neumann faced biting mosquitoes, as a boy had to be bribed to go to Church devotions, failures, loneliness and even struggles in faith. He is our brother. When it was proposed that the process for canonization of John Neumann begin, there were those in the Church who wondered if his life was too ordinary. He did not seem to work great miracles, found a religious order, write great books, or die the death of martyr. The pope at the time, Pope Benedict XV wrote the following as he reflected on the life of John Neumann: "No one any longer should doubt that the simplicity of work performed by John Neumann did not prevent him from a marvelous example. His very simplicity moves to see a new hero and example of faith not difficult for us to imitate.
On Monday, March 28, the 200th anniversary of St. John Neumann's birthday, hundreds of students from Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia gathered at the Neumann Shrine for a prayer service. (Click here to view video of the prayer service.) The Redemptorists also announced the winners of our Neumann Year Essay Contest.

This nonthreatening game draws on each child's experiences and emotions, revealing for the therapist how children see themselves and how they typically deal with their feelings. Sentence completion cards deal directly with self-esteem issues, while other game elements elicit clinical information indirectly. Players have the opportunity, for example, to tell stories about various aspects of their world, thereby giving the therapist a chance to examine feelings, relationships, and responses to the events presented in the stories. The therapist can select meaningful material from the child's stories and incorporate it in the child's treatment. As the game is played, the therapist can tell stories, too, modeling self-expression and showing children that feelings are normal and can be managed. The game can be played by a therapist and up to 5 children.
Includes Instructions; 1 Die; 6 Pawns; 50 Chips; 59 "How I Feel" Cards; and 1 Blank Card, which can be customized by the therapist.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- Maj. Gen. John W. Charlton relinquished duties as the commander of the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command, or ATEC, to Brig. Gen. (Promotable) Joel K. Tyler during a change of command ceremony June 7 on Aberdeen Proving Ground.
A change of command is a military tradition that represents a transfer of authority and responsibility for a unit or command. The history, tradition, and accomplishments of the command are embodied in the colors. The passing of colors from an outgoing commander to an incoming commander ensures that the unit and its Soldiers are never without official leadership, represents a continuation of trust, and also signifies an allegiance of Soldiers to their unit's commander.
Lt. Gen. Gary H. Cheek, director of the Army Staff, presided over the ceremony. He highlighted Charlton's qualities as a leader and thanked him for demonstrating such leadership throughout his time in the Army.
"John and his 34 years of service have a great reputation across the Army as being a leader of great character, great talent… but I will also tell you he's a combat proven leader and innovator," said Cheek. "I think one of the things I really admire about him is he's able to take experiences from his previous assignments and blend those together with how to innovate and make it better at his next assignment."
Charlton assumed command of ATEC December 2016, prior to serving as the Vice Director for Joint Force Development with the Joint Staff in Suffolk, Virginia.
Some of Charlton's highlights at ATEC include: successfully commanded the largest test and evaluation enterprise in the Department of Defense, which included eight subordinate organizations; responsible for $5.5 billion in test infrastructure; served as a key advisor to Army senior leadership on all Army programs; provided independent test and evaluation support to thousands of Army programs annually; and led the way on implementing many initiatives as part of the Army's acquisition reform effort.
"Out of all the assignments I've had in my career, this one has been the most challenging," said Charlton. "This is a massive enterprise and the impact that this organization has on the Army can't be underestimated."
Charlton has been deployed to Germany, Kuwait, and Afghanistan, as well as serving in many stateside locations.
"I am humble and grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this team. It has truly been a remarkable journey for me with this command. I can't think of a better way to conclude my career than with this assignment," said Charlton.
Cheek also mentioned Charlton's wife of 33 years, Heidi, and thanked her for professional service to the Army and volunteer service as a spouse of an Army leader. "You have really just been the complete package and we are very thankful for your service, alongside your husband."
Charlton received the Distinguished Service Medal and Certificate of Appreciation from the Commander in Chief. Ms. Charlton received the Certificate of Appreciation from the Chief of Staff of the Army and the Secretary of the Army Public Service Award.
Cheek introduced the new commander to the ATEC team. "I know him to be a reasoned, thoughtful and a very articulate, capable leader. You come to this command with a reputation as a strong and effective leader who performed exceptionally well as the Joint Modernization Commander. The ATEC community welcomes both you, Stacy and Sophia to the team and we look forward to your leadership."
Charlton also welcomed Tyler to the ATEC team. "I can't think of anyone else that is better suited to do this job. Every day is going to be a challenge but you are going to love it here [ATEC]."
Tyler previously served as the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Joint Modernization Command at Fort Bliss, Texas. His other assignments include service stateside, in the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Korea. Also, he has deployed to Operation Desert Shield/Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Spartan Shield.
"It is clear that we are working very hard to accomplish that sacred task to ensure our decision makers have the truth about our weapons and systems that we test to put the very best equipment in the hands of our Soldiers and give them the competitive edge they need in tomorrow's conflicts," Tyler said.
Tyler noted the challenge for ATEC is to retain that reputation for truth and meet the demand to do that more quickly in the future, and "I look forward to that challenge."


Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGII), an international underwriter of specialty insurance and reinsurance products, today announced it has acquired Italian specialty insurer Ariscom.
Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGII), an international underwriter of specialty insurance and reinsurance products, today announced it has acquired Italian specialty insurer Ariscom. Effective immediately, Matt Harris, head of ArgoGlobal's European and Asian operations, will assume the role of Ariscom Managing Director.
"Ariscom provides an established platform that we can use to efficiently expand our presence in continental Europe," said Argo Group CEO Mark E. Watson III. "Italy is one of Europe's largest and best-performing P&C insurance markets. We're also eager to tap into Ariscom's existing broker and client network throughout Italy, with longer-term opportunities to develop capabilities across Europe - particularly in Spain and Portugal."
In the coming months, ArgoGlobal will rebrand Ariscom to highlight the strength of the new combined organization. "Our international team has a great deal of expertise that will improve the effectiveness, efficiency and, ultimately, profitability of Ariscom," said Jose A. Hernandez, head of Argo Group's International segment. "We are planning an aggressive re-launch strategy and intend to deploy some of the company's proven digital solutions to enhance the value we provide to clients."
This transaction follows a series of recent senior leadership appointments within Argo Group's International segment, and follows last year's acquisition of Bermuda-based reinsurer Ariel Re and addition of a new team of property underwriters from Ironshore. "We have the right team and most of the structure in place. I'm optimistic about the prospects for the future of the international business," added Watson.

'Need for Speed' Opens to Solid $1.1M Thursday Night
The video game adaptation starring Aaron Paul is projected to gross $25 million this weekend
Lucas Shaw | March 14, 2014 @ 9:38 AM
"Need for Speed" grossed $1.1 million Thursday night, a solid start for Disney and DreamWorks' video game adaptation starring Aaron Paul. There are a lot of male-skewed action movies in theaters at the moment, a group led by the sequel to "300" and "Non-Stop."
DreamWorks hopes its movie's realistic feel will prevail over the CG-laden "300," and box office prognosticators forecast "Need for Speed" will gross up to $25 million over its opening weekend.

The movie's Thursday tally compares favorably to other recent movies, grossing a similar figure as "Ride Along," which opened to $41.5 million over a long weekend, and "Oblivion," which opened to $37 million.
Reviews have not been kind to the movie, which scored a 22 percent on aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, but both the game and Paul have loyal fan bases.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla Summer Festival Begins, Paris Siege DLC Readies
July 28, 2021 Special to GiN	Leave a comment
Ubisoft announced that Assassin's Creed Valhalla's next major expansion, The Siege of Paris, will be available on August 12. In addition, Season 3, Sigrblot Season, features exclusive rewards and activities accessible to all players. The Sigrblot Festival is live this Thursday, July 29 for all players until August 19.
Editor's Note: Check out our full review of the main Assassin's Creed Valhalla game and the Wrath of the Druids DLC!
Assassin's Creed Valhalla's second expansion, The Siege of Paris, will release on August 12. Set in Francia, this new adventure will set Eivor on a dangerous path full of gripping questlines across the Frankish countryside, towards one of the most infamous conquest battles in Viking history. Players will get their hands on new weapons, abilities, gear, and skills to take on new enemy types. The Siege of Paris will also mark the return of Infiltration Missions, directly inherited from long-time, fan-favorite Black Box Missions. Here, players will have the liberty to choose the best way to eliminate their designated target. The Siege of Paris will be available for all Season Pass owners or as a separate purchase for $24.99 by all owners of the main game.
Along with the Expansion 2, the "The Siege of Paris" music album will release on August 12th, giving all fans the chance to fully enjoy the complete soundtrack. From today, they can discover "Hásæti", the first track of the album composed by Stephanie Economou. With this song, she wanted to evoke a sense of spirituality and depth in the music and vocals felt like the right avenue to explore. The lyrics are in Old Norse, with "Hásæti" translating to "Seat of Honor."
Starting Thursday, July 29, players can celebrate Summer in the time limited Sigrblot Festival, a traditional Viking festival celebrating the start of the Raiding season. Until August 19, various festive activities will be available in the Ravensthorpe settlement around the traditional bonfire, including:
o Flyting, Fight Tournament, and Dice Game mini-games
o Three new quests available
o Exclusive rewards including settlement decorations, customization items, and weapons. Notably, the one-handed sword Skrofnung can be acquired with Sigrblot tokens in the festival shop for a limited time before the festival ends
To experience the Sigrblot Festival, players must reach England and complete one of the first narrative arcs – either Grantebridgescire or Ledecestrescire – and have their settlement reach Level 2. An additional update is planned for later this season and will bring a new River Raids map pack, with destinations scattered along the rivers of Francia and Ireland.
With development led by Ubisoft Montreal, Assassin's Creed Valhalla offers players the captivating experience of playing as Eivor, a legendary Viking warrior, driven from Norway by endless wars and dwindling resources in ninth century AD. Players can relive the ruthless fighting style of Viking warriors with a revamped dual-wielding combat system and experience new gameplay features such as raids, assaults, and the settlement, as well as a revamped progression and gear upgrade system. Political alliances, combat decisions and dialogue choices can influence the world of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, so players must choose wisely to protect their clan's home and their future.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla is available on Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One consoles, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, as well as on Stadia, Amazon Luna and Ubisoft's subscription service, Ubisoft+.
