Li-Cycle and Helbiz Partner to Advance Battery Recycling in Micro-Mobility
Li-Cycle and Helbiz to create a sustainable and circular battery supply chain for scooters and e-bikes
July 14, 2021 08:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
TORONTO & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Li-Cycle Corp. ("Li-Cycle" or "the Company"), an industry leader in lithium-ion battery resource recovery and the leading lithium-ion battery recycler in North America, and Helbiz, a global leader in micro-mobility, today announced a partnership to create a safe and sustainable recycling solution for end-of-life lithium-ion batteries used in e-scooters and e-bikes.
As the global shift toward electrification continues to accelerate, the popularity of micro-mobility is following suit, with the global market expected to grow to $150 billion by 2025, according to Market Research Future. Helbiz, a prominent player in the micro-mobility industry, has set out to develop the infrastructure to create greener cities with less congestion, noise, and pollution while presenting riders with a faster and more affordable way to reach their destinations via its fleets of e-scooters and e-bikes. Li-Cycle intends to utilize its Spoke & Hub Technologies™ to efficiently, safely, and sustainably recover the end-of-life batteries from Helbiz's fleets and return the valuable materials contained within back into the supply chain.
"We believe Li-Cycle and Helbiz are ideal partners as we are two innovative companies working toward the same vision for a sustainable electric mobility sector," said Kunal Phalpher, Chief Commercial Officer of Li-Cycle. "This partnership represents a critical first step for our collaboration as we seek to create a closed lithium-ion battery recycling loop on a global scale. Together, we intend to recover valuable materials from old scooters and e-bikes to be reused in new ones in cities around the world via a truly sustainable, fit-for-purpose pathway."
Both Li-Cycle and Helbiz have previously announced plans to become publicly traded companies in the United States via business combinations with special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and have plans to expand operations in Europe. In the coming months, Li-Cycle expects to recycle 500 lithium-ion batteries from Helbiz e-bikes and e-scooters, with volume set to increase heading into 2022 as Li-Cycle supports Helbiz's operations in the United States and abroad.
"We are proud to partner with Li-Cycle and look forward to working closely with their team to develop and implement a safe and sustainable recycling solution for the batteries used in our e-scooters and e-bikes," said Ruggero Cipriani Foresio, Chief Marketing Officer of Helbiz. "This collaboration further supports our commitment to worldwide sustainability and our dedication to lead each city we operate in towards a greener future."
Li-Cycle is aiming to support Helbiz's net zero emission target by 2022 while simultaneously facilitating Helbiz's ability to achieve a 100% recycling target, with a view to advancing sustainability efforts in the micro-mobility sector and further minimizing the environmental footprint of shared scooters and e-bikes.
On February 16, 2021, Li-Cycle announced its entry into a definitive business combination agreement with Peridot Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: PDAC) ("Peridot"). Upon the closing of the business combination (the "Business Combination"), which is expected in the third quarter of 2021, the combined company will be named Li-Cycle Holdings Corp. ("Newco").

Q: Using VBA to scale excel graph X-axis? I'm using a macro to generate graphs from a table such that the x-axis is a time stamp(date, time) and the y-axis is for the data at that time. So far, there is no problem getting this to work but the result is a graph that has "blank space" before and after the data(roughly 5-10 minutes before and after on a 1-hour time-frame). I have space constraints and this cuts into them so I'd like to utilize the entire plot area. Can I eliminate the blank space by extending the data to end of the plot area somehow? Any help is appreciated.
Additionally the files I need to use are for different time frames and lengths of time(ie, different length of excel rows). Is there a way to only graph the rows with content instead of a "worst-case scenario" like using A2:A100000 because I know it will never be greater than 100,000 rows?

New Boss, New Rules? Yoo and Bolton on Executive Power
By Andrew Potter January 6, 2009
Some corners of the blogosphere are having a belly laugh over an op-ed co-authored the other day by John Yoo and John Bolton, published in the NYT. The column is styled as a warning to incoming president Obama to beware the temptation to use the office of the president to unilaterally entangle the US in a "dense web of treaties and international bureaucracies." In a nutshell, it looks like they are concerned that Obama will go all Koyto or landmine-treatyish or something, thus tying one of America's economic or military hands behind its back. And so they remind Obama that the Constitution requires that treaties gain the approval of 2/3 of the Senate for precisely this reason, viz.,
"to protect the interests of the states from being bargained away by the president in deals with foreign nations. The framers required a supermajority to ensure that treaties would reflect a broad consensus and careful, mature decision-making."
So why the chortling? Well, because there are few men in America over the last eight years who have had less time for constitutional limits on executive power. Yoo, in particular, is the author of the notorious "torture memos" that offered a rather narrow definition of "torture" and which many people claim led directly to the horrors of Abu Ghraib.
Is there any more to this change of heart than the usual flip-flopping of principles that happens whenever one party takes over from another? Is there any relevant difference between the sort of executive power exercised by someone like George Bush, and the same power as it might be exercised by Obama? Bolton and Yoo argue that the key difference is in the kind of power likely to be affected. Eoconomic agreements, like Bretton Woods or NAFTA, might not need 2/3 approval in the Senate, but international agreements that touch on national security certainly do.
Over at Volokh, Eric Posner argues that this is a bogus distinction:
Certainly, the framers did not make such a distinction, and Bolton and Yoo do not explain why there should be different rules for different types of treaties. If the Obama administration can further erode the Senate's role in treatymaking, this will strengthen the president's hand. John Yoo thinks that the president has the power, and ought to have the power, to make war, control American troops, and dominate American foreign policy; if he can do all that, why shouldn't he also have the power to make the agreements that America's foreign policy requires?
Essentially, Posner is asking the obvious question: Why shouldn't Obama be entitled to the same presidential powers that Bolton and Yoo claimed for their guy?
There is one line of argument that preserves consistency for someone sympathetic to Yoo's position. For Yoo, there is a crucial distinction between a treaty that touches on the state's economic authority, and a treaty that limits its power to make war and direct national security. Since the primary task of the President, during a time of war, is protecting US citizens, any hindrance to that capacity, whether US and international law or even Congress, can be considered unconstitutional."
John Yoo is heavily influenced by the writings of the Weimar political theorist Carl Schmitt. Schmitt believed that the liberal commitments to a division of powers, checks and balances, a charter of rights, and so on, are only sustainable during times of "normal" politics, i.e. peacetime. When faced with an existential threat, Schmitt argued, essentially, that liberalism shows itself up as a sham — that a liberal state will inevitably abandon all of these commitments in the name of self-preservation. In abnormal times, the state becomes highly centralised, almost monarchical in operation, with everything, including the rule of law, subordinated to the demands of national security and survival. It is easy to see how this line of reasoning could be used to justify an unencumbered executive in the post-9/11 era.
In short, I don't think Yoo and Bolton are being as inconsistent it might appear. Of course, that consistency comes at the cost of adopting an extraordinarily cynical view of liberalism democracy. and the state that borders on the nihilistic.
For further reading: David Dyzenhaus of UofT has an excellent book on the subject of the newfound relevance of Carl Schmitt post 9-11.

Trump must use Insurrection Act on domestic terrorists!
Larry Klayman says president risks his reelection if he doesn't get tough on rioters
By Larry Klayman
If former President Ronald Reagan were now in office, does anyone who lived during his remarkable modern presidency believe that "The Gipper" would not have taken strong action to hold the Communist Chinese accountable for unleashing what was likely a bioweapon, causing death and destruction in our nation and globally?! Does anyone also think that Reagan would have gone more than 24 hours in taking charge of local police and other law enforcement and put down what is a modern-day Bolshevik revolution to overthrow the vision and creation of our Founding Fathers on July 4, 1776, in my birthplace and the country's birthplace of Philadelphia?! The answer to both questions is a resounding no!
Over the last weeks in particular, I have engaged in discussions with some of my self-professed conservative friends who continue to maintain that what the president is doing, or should I say not doing, in particular with regard to the violence in the streets, is politically shrewd. By putting the onus on local and state officials to quell the violence in major cities and then telling the American people that he must be asked to send federal forces in to lock up the "Bolsheviks," they cynically argue, The Donald is shrewdly harming the political prospects of not just Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, but all Democrats this fall. But cynical political ploys like this have not stopped the looting, burning, maiming and killings of not just the police, property and person, but ordinary citizens, including very young children!
Moreover, attacking the Chicoms with words and not deeds, and not instructing Attorney General Bill Barr, aka "Blowhard Bill," to freeze all Chinese assets to eventually pay for the destruction of our health and our economy over COVID-19, and then also not supporting Freedom Watch's class action suits in Dallas, Texas, seeking redress of the huge damage to the American people, is not presidential, but simply a cop out, pun intended.
Let me be clear, I, Larry Klayman, in my personal capacity will vote for Donald Trump to be reelected. Freedom Watch and I have been his de facto law firm for the last four years, as he was forced to endure the Russian collusion witch hunt and a phony impeachment.
That aside, President Trump must exercise real leadership during this perilous time if he hopes to be reelected, much more truly represent the interests of We the People.
For instance, as pointed out recently by a real and highly distinguished conservative icon, Ambassador Alan Keyes, who not coincidentally penned the foreword to my new book, which can be pre-ordered on Amazon.com, "It Takes a Revolution: Forget the Scandal Industry," under the Insurrection Act of 1807, 10 U.S.C. 251-255 and 10 U.S.C. 331-335 ; amended 2006,2007, which is still on the books and can be implemented, President Trump can take control of even local law enforcement, notwithstanding the military, to put down an insurrection when state and local public officials fail to act.
The Insurrection Act, was signed into law by President Thomas Jefferson, interestingly, since my book is dedicated to this greatest of Founding Fathers and third American president. As explained recently by the History Channel:
"The Insurrection Act gives U.S. presidents the authority to deploy active military (and law enforcement) to maintain or restore peace in times of crisis. The Insurrection Act was invoked numerous times in the 20th century, most famously when Dwight D. Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne Division to enforce the desegregation of public schools in Little Rock, Arkansas.
"But the origins of the Insurrection Act date back more than 200 years to a bizarre chapter in American history – when Aaron Burr plotted to raise an army and establish his own dynasty in either Louisiana or Mexico."
Yes, President Trump has done many good things – including most recently his peace initiative in the Middle East – but today we live in a country that is sinking faster than the Titanic, as the music plays on deck, entertaining the doomed ship's passengers as cable news does today. If our president does not act under these dire circumstances, and merely sends tweets and makes speeches threatening real action, the populace will lose any real faith in government that may be left after decades of corrupt rot.
And, President Trump will lose support among his electoral base as well as independents, support he dearly needs to be reelected.
My criticism is "tough love," not intended to put down the president, but to have him truly serve the interests of the American people. If he does this, surely he will continue as president of the United States, sparing We the People from the clownish, brain-dead if not totally stupid, far-left patsy Joe Biden and his evil and hate-filled vice-presidential pick, Kamala Harris.
Pre-order my new book "It Takes a Revolution: Forget the Scandal Industry!" at Amazon.com and all major booksellers online, and sign up for and support our class action against the Chicoms and other hard-hitting cases and citizens grand juries by going to www.freedomwatchusa.org.

Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, is known for his strong public interest advocacy in furtherance of ethics in government and individual freedoms and liberties. During his tenure at Judicial Watch, he obtained a court ruling that Bill Clinton committed a crime, the first lawyer ever to have done so against an American president. Larry became so famous for fighting corruption in the government and the legal profession that the NBC hit drama series West Wing created a character after him: Harry Klaypool of Freedom Watch. His character was played by actor John Diehl.
In 2004, Larry ran for the U.S. Senate as a Republican in Florida's primary. After the race ended, he founded Freedom Watch.
The author of two books, Fatal Neglect and Whores: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment, Larry is a frequent commentator on television and radio, as well as a weekly columnist, on Friday, for WND.com. He has been credited as being the inspiration for the Tea Party movement. (See "Larry Klayman - The One Man TEA Party," by Dr. Richard Swier.)

You can read more about FastTrack from the Mikrotik Wiki on FastTrack. The function has it's advantages by increasing throughout and reducing CPU load. However I wanted to limit bandwidth to clients and FastTrack had to be disabled in order to limit.
From the RouterOS command line move to /ip firewall filter and issue the print command to view all available rules. Rule 4 has what we are looking for which is fasttrack depending on previous changes made to your rules the placement maybe different resulting in a completely different number.
chain=input action=accept protocol=icmp log=no log-prefix=""
chain=input action=accept connection-state=established,related log=no log-prefix=""
chain=input action=drop in-interface=ether1-gateway log=no log-prefix=""
chain=forward action=fasttrack-connection connection-state=established,related log=no log-prefix=""
chain=forward action=accept connection-state=established,related log=no log-prefix=""
chain=forward action=drop connection-state=invalid log=no log-prefix=""
Now issue the disable command along with the rule number you wish to disable. Alternatively the rule can be removed completely with the command remove but I rather preserve it in case I needed at a later time.
Rule 4 is now disabled as indicated by the capital XI in front of the rule.
With Fasttrack disabled I can add my 20/20 Megabit symmetrical limit.
If you intent to make use of a RSA key make sure you are running RouterOS 6.31 version or above, otherwise you may receive an error like this one unable to load key file (incorrect passphrase?) !. If the installation needs to be update then refer to this post on How to Upgrade RouterOS from the Command Line. NOte: you need access to a Linux system to generate the private and public key pair.
Use the ssh-keygen command to generate an RSA key pair. This step is almost automated for you just wait.
You can view the key pair in their respective directory. Remember: id_rsa.pub is meant to be public and will be the file we upload to the remote system.
The key pair will reside in the ~/.ssh found in the users home directory. Use SCP to copy the public key pair from the Linux system over to the Mikrotik RouterOS system just change the IP address to that of your router.
Now log-in to RouterOS and import id_rsa.pub key we just uploaded. I'm importing a key for the user admin you can change this to the of any other user.
Let's view the user new SSH key.
Using an SSH client with the new private SSH key attempt to log-in to RouterOS, if successful you shouldn't be prompted for a password.
My Mikrotik router was running version 6.30 which I needed to update to version 6.31 in order to support RSA keys. I found updating the router from the command line to be quite easy an straight forward. it only requires a few commands and requires little user input.
I know of two ways to view the current running firmware. My hAP at the time it arrived was running RouterOS version 6.30.4.
Making use of the /system package update check-for-updates we can also view the running version and latest available version of RouterOS for download.
Now that we know there is an available update we tell the router to download and install. The router will reboot.
Reboot for the changes to take effect.
You will be asked for confirmation prior to rebooting.
Installing the new firmware took less than a minute. Let's check again and see what version of RouterOS is currently running.
We are done and the system is now updated to the latest available firmware. Fairly easy and painless to update RouterOS.

Just a heads up if you are looking for a certified Micro USB to Type C adapter then I would recommend looking at the Xiaomi USB Type C Adapter they are a great way of converting the Micro USB cables you already have to Type C. The adapter works just fine with the Nexus 6P I have yet to see any problem after almost two months of use. I bought mine from Geekbuying for under $2.oo USD.
The Raspberry Pi Zero lacks a USB hub and only comes with a single Micro USB port which means you have to be careful with the limited available port. Adding a USB to serial converter is a good way of accessing the Pi Zero without having to plug a keyboard and HDMI connector and it frees the Micro USB port.
There are many flavors of USB to RS232 adapters and one of them is CH340 eBay which is affordable. Another adapter I like is the CP2102 you can find them on eBay. This are just recommendations in the end it's your choice as to the one you choose.
The Raspberry Pi can be powered from the same 5V pin coming from the USB to RS232 adapter, I rather have the Zero use a dedicated PSU for stable power.
There might be a slight difference with your USB to RS232 adapter but I am certain it will be the same as below. Make sure to match wiring with those of the Pi Zero.
On the terminal client of your choice use the COM port assigned to the USB adapter and baud rate of 115200.
If you don't see any output in the console make sure the TXD and RXD pins are in the correct position, otherwise swap them.
It's been a while since I've posted to the blog not because I forgot about it but because it has been a busy few months. Expect content soon I promise.
Updating the Raspberry Pi firmware is easy thanks to a nice utility called rpi-update included by default in Raspbian but I've also included an extra step for those of us who use other distributions for the Raspberry Pi like Minibian(my favorite), Kali Linux, etc… Understand that rpi-update is automated and once executed it will download and install the firmware without any user input. Upgrading the firmware takes less than a minute, however the install might take longer depending on your Internet connection.
The three steps below are included because rpi-update is not included by default in other distributions. Update and upgrade the system. First update and upgrade the OS.
Install rpi-config from the repository.
Rpi-update is automated and once executed it will download and install the firmware without any user input. Upgrading the firmware takes less than a minute, however the install might take longer depending on your Internet connection. Sit back and watch the process.
Reboot the Raspberry Pi for the new firmware to take effect.
Let's check again to see what the Raspberry Pi has to say about the new firmware.
Your Raspberry Pi is now running the latest available firmware.
By default when Kali Linux for the Rapsberry Pi is installed the file system will only expand to occupy 3GB of storage, in my case I have a 16GB Micro SD card in my Raspberry Pi 2 with most of its capacity unused. One can easily expand the file system by making use of a script that automatically does the job for you.
I should note I did not create the script and found it at the following address http://www.raspberryvi.org/wiki/doku.php/raspi-expand-rootfs but it has proven useful.
Download the script into the boot directory. Locally hosted.
Now we make the script executable.
And execute the script. Don't be scared by the output.
Command (m for help): The partition table has been altered!
It is necessary to reboot the OS for the changes to take effect.
Once again us the df command to verify the file system successfully expanded.
If you like you can remove the script from the /boot directory.
Update and upgrade the Raspbian installation.
Install the package necessary to automatically mount USB drives.
Now plug a USB drive and issue the df command to view all volumes. My USB drive was recognized /dev/sdb and mounted as /media/usb0 by the system.
To un-mount a volume make use of the df command above to discover the USB drive mount point and issue the unmount command as follows.
You can view your version of Ubuntu with the following command.
Update and upgrade the system.
If not already installed, then install the update-manager-core package from the repository.
Now follow the prompts to complete the upgrade to Ubuntu 15.04. Read the instructions carefully.
Verify the upgrade was successful with the help of the lsb_release command.

HomeAnalysisWhy Would the Pentagon Give Amazon SJWs the Keys to the Kingdom?
But being in favor of military spending doesn't mean being in favor of wasteful military spending. When the Pentagon engages in bad behavior, such as the infamous $400 hammers of the 1980s, it's actually cheating people in uniform.
It's refreshing whenever Congress learns from the past and tries to control a potentially wasteful long-term military contract.
The agreement in question intends to move all of the Pentagon's data – everything from weapon systems information to subcontractor phone numbers – to the cloud. Right now, all that information is stored on hard drives. The idea to use cloud computing makes perfect sense. The plan itself does not.
The Defense Department wants to give a sole-source single cloud provider a long-term contract worth up to $10 billion. "We are looking for an industry partner who will learn with us and help us find the best ways to bring foundational commercial capabilities to our warfighters," the Pentagon's chief information officer says.
Note the singular – "an industry partner," not "industry partners." That potential partner appears to be Amazon Web Services (AWS). It's so clear, in fact, that when details of the agreement came out this year, a potential rival bidder told Vanity Fair's May Jeong: "Everybody immediately knew that it was for Amazon." The "request for proposals" (RFP) includes provisions tailored for Amazon.
Why not consider using multiple providers, as many private companies do – and, parenthetically, as the law generally requires? Possibly because somebody in the chain of command wants to reward Amazon – assuredly because Amazon will reward him, because that is how crony capitalism's perpetual cycle of professional back-scratching works.
There's an ominous internal threat rising from within Amazon's cadre of rank-and-file employees. This past June, employees hinted at a brewing revolt at the World's Richest Company, complaining to company founder Jeff Bezos that they don't want Amazon to fulfill a government contract for facial recognition products because they disagree with the Trump administration's immigration policies. "In the face of this immoral U.S. policy, and the U.S.'s increasingly inhumane treatment of refugees and immigrants beyond this specific policy, we are deeply concerned that Amazon is implicated, providing infrastructure and services that enable ICE and DHS," their letter said.
Stronger statements exist hinting at a nascent Fifth Column within the core of Amazon. "We learn from history, and we understand how IBM's systems were employed in the 1940s to help Hitler," Amazon's employees wrote. "IBM did not take responsibility then, and by the time their role was understood, it was too late. We will not let that happen again. The time to act is now." Instructive to the DOD is the ominous demand from Amazon's hands and heart (as opposed to the "head," Bezos) that Amazon remove Palantir from Amazon Web Services. Palantir is Peter Thiel's big data firm that utilizes Amazon's cloud services to fulfill multi-billion-dollar contracts with ICE and Law Enforcement. "Our company should not be in the surveillance business," the letter reads. "We should not be in the policing business; we should not be in the business of supporting those who monitor and oppress marginalized populations." Substitute "military" for "policing" and "whose mission is to" for "who monitor and" in that sentence, and the potential for disaster a single-source cloud contract presents becomes obvious and terrifying.
What happens if the employees at a single cloud provider with a demonstrated philosophical bent toward disdain of the law and hatred for law enforcement take the law into their own hands and act subversively when they don't approve of the military's plans for national defense? It would be better not to have to ask that question.
None of that will happen unless Congress makes it happen. The country is fortunate that lawmakers are taking steps to improve the DoD's cloud plan. Let's see whether the Pentagon is willing to respond.
Let's also pray that the fate of our military men and women is not in the hands of a crony capitalist's employees, who may have signaled their willingness to sabotage our national security based upon their personal beliefs.

Seven Card Stud was, until recently, the most popular poker game being played in most home games. With the recent rise in popularity of the World Series of Poker, and with it the rise in popularity of Texas Hold'em, Seven Card Stud has been forgotten among most younger casual poker fans. It's still a great poker game however, and shouldn't be ignored. It's a great game to throw into the mix when Hold'em starts feeling a little stale. Most Stud games are "limit" games meaning that there is a limit to the amount of money that can be bet at one time. That means there are no "All-ins" or pot sized bets. Stud can still be played as a no-limit or pot limit game and there are some variations such as Mississippi Stud which are intended to be played as such and will be explained later.
Ante: A small bet placed by each player before receiving their cards. This is a forced bet and is usually very small, anywhere from 1/10th to 1/4th of the minimum bet.
Door Card: This is the one card that is dealt face up to each player before the first round of betting.
Bring in: This is a forced bet made by the player with the lowest showing door card on third street. Simply put, after every player antes and gets their cards, the person with the lowest showing card will have to make a bet. This bet is called the "bring in" and is usually larger than the ante, but smaller than the minimum bet. In most low stakes games, the bring it is $1.
Small bet: This is the fixed amount that may be bet in the first two rounds of a stud game (third and fourth street). In a $5/10 stud game, the small bet would be $5. Sometimes, the small bet is allowed within a range. For example, a $5/10 stud game may allow small bets anywhere between $1 and $5.
Large bet: This is the larger fixed amount that may be bet after the first two rounds of a stud game, starting on fifth street. In $5/10 stud, this amount would be $10.
After all the bets have been made for the bring-in round, the dealer deals each player one more card face-up. From this point on, the player with the best showing cards moves first but is not forced to bet. This player has the option to check or bet. A bet in this round would still be equal to the small bet. Action then moves to the left and players can check if no bet has been made or call or raise any bets that have already been made. Any raises to a bet must also be equal to the small bet. In a $5/$10 stud game, if the first player to move bets $5 and the next player wishes to raise, he must raise by $5.
On fifth street, each player is dealt another card face up, giving each player 3 face up cards and a complete 5 card hand. Starting from this round, all bets and raises must be equal to the large bet. The player with the best showing hand moves first and action moves clockwise around the table.
On 6th street, each player is dealt a fourth card face up and action continues in the same manner as the last round. The best showing hand moves first and all bets and raises are equal to the large bet.
On 7th street, each player gets their seventh and final card dealt to them face down. Each player now has 4 cards face up and 3 cards face down. The player who moved first on 6th street will move first again on 7th street since the showing cards have not changed. After all the bets have been completed, the players show their cards and the best 5 card hand takes the pot. If a player makes a bet and all the other players fold, that player is not required to show their hand to take the pot.

As Much As Half of Honey Tested Contains Mostly Rice Syrup, Wheat Syrup or Sugar Beet Syrup
May 21, 2019 By HLI Team
People who make honey often put different kinds of syrups in it without anyone knowing. Up to now, it was challenging to discover the presence of sugars in honey.
However, a new method of testing has been discovered, and the same help in detecting syrups in honey. Almost half of the sold honey in Australia has low-priced sweetener in it; such as wheat syrup, rice syrup and sugar beet syrup.
28 honey samples have been taken from stores around the country and have been tested in laboratories in Germany to see if they have cheap sweeteners in them. It turned out that 12 of them are not honey, but some form of low-cost sugar syrup.
Reasonably, when you hear that these honey brands went past the official government purity tests, you will be worried.
Researchers say that honey producers are able to hide these sweeteners and to pass the tests.
Moreover, the official test, which is internationally accepted, is able only to detect honey mixed with corn and cane sugar.
Therefore, producers have come to a knowledge that tests cannot discover the difference sugar beet syrup, rice syrup and honey.
Nevertheless, the new technology called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance can.
Germany's Quality Services International laboratory authorized the Australian horticulturalist Robert Costa to do both types of tests.
Not more than 14 samples passed the NMR tests, and of course, all 28 samples got through the official government C4 sugar test.
Emma Beckett, a molecular nutritionist from the University of Newcastle, says: "The C4 test picks up most fake honey, because most of the cheap sugar syrups used to make fake honey came from C4 plants, like corn and sugar cane. But, newer substitutes, like rice, wheat, and beet syrups, come from C3 plants, and so won't be picked up."
Gudrun Beckh is a QSI's managing director. For almost 30 years, she has been testing honey. In her experience, NMR is the complete test for discovering if the honey has been watered down.
She explains: "Fake honey always existed, but in the last years it's a growing problem because of the people who adulterate using more and more sophisticated methods, so it's more complicated to detect it,".
In 2018, by using the conventional C4 testing method, a study had found that in 27 per-cent of different Australian honey brands, manufacturers have put corn or cane syrup.
The ones with foreign honey, such as China, were adulterated.
Regarding the United States, they do not test the level of quality of honey; thus, the problem must be worse there.
A laboratory analysis, done in 2011, has shown that 76 per cent of the sold honey in the United States hasn't pollen in it. This is an indicator that this honey must be from China and is watered down with low-cost sweeteners and has illegal antibiotics.
Professor and melissopalynologist Vaughn Bryant from Texas A&M University was authorized by Food Safety News to examine 60 brands of honey from stores in the United States.
He found out that all from the tested samples from fast food restaurants and drug stores, and 76 per-cents of the certified samples from stores had no pollen.
According to Mark Jensen, president of the American Honey Producers Association, there is no sense in removing pollen from the honey.
He adds: "Elimination of all pollen can only be achieved by ultra-filtering and this filtration process does nothing but cost money and diminishes the quality of the honey,"
"In my judgment, it is pretty safe to assume that any ultra-filtered honey on store shelves is Chinese honey and it's even safer to assume that it entered the country uninspected and in violation of federal law."
The beekeeper Richard Adee says: "It's no secret to anyone in the business that the only reason all the pollen is filtered out is to hide where it initially came from and the fact is that in almost all cases, that is China,".
The press officer Tamara Ward told Food Safety News that the FDA claimed that "the FDA does not consider 'ultra-filtered' honey to be honey,".
If you buy honey which is categorized as organic you have more chances of real honey purchase. The laboratory results have shown that 71 per cent of the organic honey has pollen in them.
Maybe the best way to get real honey is to buy fresh, concentrated honey.
One ounce of fresh, thick honey has 16 minerals, 18 amino acids, 20 vitamins and a lot of phytonutrients and antioxidants. At the same time, this type of honey has antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial properties. It also has magnesium, calcium, potassium, sulphur, calcium sodium chlorine, phosphate and B2, B3, B5, B6, C.

Q: Setting style for categorized vector in PyQGIS? I'm writing a plugin in QGIS3  which produces a vector file from a thresholded raster (i.e. polygons all have a value of 1 or 0). So far so good. I'd now like to load it in QGIS and display the results so that the 1 values in the vector are displayed (as a filled color) and the 0 values aren't displayed at all. This should just be a display of a categorized vector but I can't figure out the best approach in QGIS3.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, please? I don't have any code to share on this point. I got as far as
processing.run("gdal:polygonize", {'INPUT': self.threshold_raster_obj, 'BAND':1, 'FIELD':'DN','EIGHT_CONNECTEDNESS':False,'OUTPUT': self.out_vectorFilename})
current_layer = self.iface.addVectorLayer(self.out_vectorFilename, "Polygonize_result", "ogr")

i.e. I can polygonize my raster, save it and load it into the main window but I've no idea where to start with the display options. I've looked at some of the examples but I've not been able to understand the right approach for polygons. Unfortunately some things are not intuitive for novices like myself.

A: I've included some code with comments to show how to categorise a layer with the most basic properties which hopefully should get you started:
#current_layer = iface.activeLayer()

# Create dictionary to store
# 'attribute value' : ('symbol colour', 'legend name')
land_class = {
    '0': ('#0f0', 'Transparent polygons'),
    '1': ('#f00', 'Filled polygons')
}
# Create list to store symbology properties
categories = []
# Iterate through the dictionary
for classes, (color, label) in land_class.items():
    # Automatically set symbols based on layer's geometry
    symbol = QgsSymbol.defaultSymbol(current_layer.geometryType())
    # Set colour
    symbol.setColor(QColor(color))
    # Set symbol with value = 0 to be transparent
    if classes == '0':
        symbol.setOpacity(0)
    # Set the renderer properties
    category = QgsRendererCategory(classes, symbol, label)
    categories.append(category)

# Field name
expression = 'DN'
# Set the categorized renderer
renderer = QgsCategorizedSymbolRenderer(expression, categories)
current_layer.setRenderer(renderer)
# Refresh layer
current_layer.triggerRepaint()

The use of the core conflictual relationship theme method in describing and comparing Gestalt and rational emotive behavior therapy with adolescents
Stacey Agin, Iris E. Fodor
The Core Conflictual Relationship Theme (CCRT) method (Luborsky, 1977) is used to study recurrent relationship patterns in therapy and may be employed as a measure of transference as well. We found only one article in the literature in which it was applied to a mode of psychotherapy, other than psychodynamic (Turner, 1992). In addition, there are only a few articles in the literature that refer to the CCRT method with children and adolescents. In this paper, we applied the CCRT method to two videotaped individual sessions of young adolescent boys, one in gestalt therapy and the other in rational emotive behavior therapy. Results showed that both boys revealed similar core relational theme profiles, but that their respective therapists each dealt differently with these relationship conflicts. In this pilot use of the CCRT with adolescent therapy, we were able to describe relationship patterns and delineate key differences between the two treatment modalities.

Disaster fears drive storage choice

Although IT hardware is becoming more resilient, companies are still losing crucial data through storage failures. James Rogers looks at the most effective methods of protecting company data.
Sixty-nine per cent of companies have experienced a failure in their storage system and, in 29% of these cases, critical business data was lost. These are the findings from a survey of 126 IT professionals responsible for storage conducted by Computer Weekly and storage supplier EMC.
But experts say the findings are not altogether unexpected. Claus Egge, programme director at analyst firm IDC, says, "I am not surprised by that number - everybody has lost data here and there." Anders Lofgren, senior industry analyst at Forrester Research, is also unmoved. He says, "Disc drive failures are not uncommon - in fact, they are to be expected. That is why you use Redundant Array of Independent Disc technology to avoid downtime as a result of disc drive failure."
However, Nigel Ghent, European marketing manager at EMC, says, "That almost three quarters of respondents have experienceda failure is a concern, but it reflects the need for reliability, availability and security in storage."
Business data is effectively the lifeblood of the modern company and any glitches in storage systems could have serious consequences. So it is perhaps not surprising that 21% of the respondents admit to having suffered a financial loss as a result of storage problems.
IT hardware may be becoming increasingly resilient, but the problem of data loss underlines the ongoing need for back-up, according to Egge. "Only a minority of businesses back-up all their laptops and all their desktops, but one of the features of the next wave of back-up technologies will be to embrace these types of workstations," he says.
Lofgren also believes that back-up is key and suggests that the disc-to-disc method could provide the solution. He says, "We are seeing increasing interest in disc-to-disc back-up. With cheaper disc products available, such as ATA, it is a much more viable option."
Building sufficient redundancy into storage systems is all-important if companies want to avoid storage failures, says Lofgren. "Firms have to have some measure of protection in their storage systems. Traditionally, they have done that through redundancy, so you would have dual controllers, power and cooling controls."
The survey shows that the need for back-up and disaster recovery capabilities has overtaken the explosion in e-mail data as the biggest driver behind storage demand. Other factors driving investment in storage products are the growth in databases and new applications. These priorities could reflect concerns over recent events, Ghent says. "There are a lot of worms and viruses about, power cuts on both sides of the Atlantic and persistent terrorist threats, making protecting data uppermost in the minds of IT directors."
Although e-mail is no longer the major factor compelling companies to buy storage, firms still have to handle masses of e-mails and increasingly, a massive volume of spam. The scale of this problem is particularly significant, according to the research. Of the 126 respondents, nearly 20% say that spam accounts for as much as half of the e-mails hitting their corporate networks. Despite the challenge posed by spammers and e-mails in general, only 42% publish a formal policy on storing e-mails and 12% of respondents do not even know whether they have such a policy.
From storage failures to the stress of handling e-mail and the spam deluge, it is obvious IT departments have got quite a job on their hands when it comes to running a storage infrastructure. But it is not all doom and gloom. The data created through the production of new applications is third on the list of key storage drivers and this could be a sign that the eagerly anticipated recovery in the IT market is under way.

La paradisea dell'Imperatore Guglielmo (Paradisaea guilielmi ) è un uccello passeriforme della famiglia Paradisaeidae.

Etimologia
Sia il nome comune che il nome scientifico di questa specie (quella scoperta più di recente nel proprio genere) vennero scelti in omaggio al Kaiser Guglielmo II di Germania.

Descrizione

Dimensioni
Misura 31-33 cm di lunghezza, per un peso di 250-265 g: i maschi, a parità d'età, sono più grossi e robusti rispetto alle femmine, anche in virtù delle lunghe penne di fianchi e coda, queste ultime in special modo lunghe all'incirca quanto il corpo.

Aspetto
Si tratta di uccelli nel complesso molto simili alle altre specie di paradisee propriamente dette, dalle quali differiscono per la minore lunghezza delle penne dei fianchi e la maggiore estensione del verde facciale dei maschi.
Il dimorfismo sessuale è ben marcato: le femmine presentano faccia di colore bruno scuro, nuca, collo e spalle bruno-giallastre, ali, dorso e coda di color nocciola e ventre bruno che tende a schiarirsi divenendo grigiastro sul sottocoda. I maschi, invece, possiedono faccia, calotta, gola e petto di colore verde smeraldo, il resto della testa, il collo, le spalle ed i lati del petto giallo zolfo, ali, petto, groppa e coda bruni: le penne dei fianchi sono allungate (anche se meno rispetto ad altre specie congeneri) e dall'aspetto sfilacciato, brune alla base e bianche per tutta la loro lunghezza, mentre le due penne centrali della coda sono anch'esse allungate, ma filiformi e di colore nero. In ambo i sessi le zampe sono giallastre ed il becco è di color acciaio: gli occhi, invece, sono gialli nella femmina e rossi nel maschio.

Biologia
Questi uccelli hanno abitudini essenzialmente diurne e solitarie: essi tendono a passare la maggior parte della propria vita nella canopia alla ricerca di cibo, pronti a sparire nel folto della vegetazione al minimo accenno di pericolo.

Alimentazione
La dieta di questi animali è principalmente frugivora, comprendendo però anche una buona percentuale di insetti ed altri piccoli invertebrati.

Riproduzione

Anche in questa specie vige la poliginia, coi maschi che si esibiscono secondo la formula del lek per conquistare le femmine.

La stagione riproduttiva cade fra settembre e dicembre. I maschi si riuniscono in uno o più alberi vicini, posizionandosi ciascuno su un proprio ramo che viene conservato negli anni ed accuratamente ripulito: da qui, essi si esibiscono in elaborati rituali di corteggiamento dinnanzi alle femmine sopraggiunte per osservarli, rituali che comprendono una serie di movimenti codificati (correre su e giù per il ramo, girare attorno ad esso, rimanervi appesi, tenere posture statiche, convergere verso il centro dell'arena, inchinarsi all'indirizzo della femmina o porsi al suo fianco) eseguiti tenendo le ali aperte e le penne del dorso ben erette, e al contempo emettendo una serie di richiami caratteristici.

Le femmine osservano numerosi maschi in più arene, prima di decidere con quale accoppiarsi: dopo l'accoppiamento, esse si allontanano e si occupano in solitudine della costruzione del nido, della cova e delle cure parentali alla prole, mentre i maschi continuano ad esibirsi.

Distribuzione e habitat
La paradisea dell'Imperatore Guglielmo è endemica della Nuova Guinea ed in particolare della fascia costiera della penisola di Huon, nel nord-est dell'isola.

L'habitat di questi uccelli è rappresentato dalle aree di foresta pluviale collinare, anche disturbata, fra i 450 ed i 1350 m di quota: evita le aree antropizzate.

Bjørge to demerge into two oil and gas service companies
On 17 September 2010, the Board of Directors of Bjørge ASA (Bjørge) resolved to propose a demerger to the company's shareholders, creating two separate companies. The Bjørge Group today comprises two divisions serving a broad range of the oil and gas industry. "New" Bjørge intends to continue as a listed company and include the solutions and services business within valves and instrumentation for the energy and offshore industries. The demerged, new company (NewCo), will include the process, fire and safety solutions businesses and will apply for a separate listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
Creating separate companies with increased focus and flexibility shall benefit the companie's customers, suppliers and employees, as well as their investors. New Bjørge and NewCo will as a result of the demerger be able to develop separately and pursue different growth opportunities geographically, organically and through merger and acquisitions activities. The demerger is expected to become effective in December 2010.
Bjørge's majority shareholder Bokn Invest, owned by HitecVision and Converto Capital, is pleased to share its own objectives related to this investment. "We have been the major shareholder of Bjørge for a year. Having gained thorough insight of the company and its market we believe that the creation of separate, much more focused entities will enhance the value for shareholders, employees, customers and other stakeholders. This restructuring represent the beginning of three exciting company and equity stories" says Frank O. Reite, representing Converto Capital in the Bokn Invest AS board of directors
Bokn Invest holds approximately 77% of the shares in Bjørge ASA. Bokn Invest will ensure that the restructuring and transactions following this process will be performed in full accordance with the Norwegain Code of Corporate Governance. The major owner will aim to provide both companies with the tools necessary to grow organically and strategically. Both business segments have considerable potential for further value enhancing restructuring, while Bokn Invest remains committed to support the market introduction and further development of Naxys.
"This is a natural point in Bjørge's development to focus and sharpen the business model. Over a period of two to five years we expect these companies to grow significantly in terms of both revenues and profitability and we remain committed to the further development and support of the companies" comments Atle Eide, senior partner in HitecVision and chairman of Bokn Invest. Eide adds: "In accordance with our investment model, it is our plan to remain as an active shareholder over the coming years".


We received a nice review from J. Edgar Mihelic via his Econ Autodidactic blog that raises a couple of good questions about WPC Book 1. As this is my first effort as a publisher, getting good, honest feedback will be critical to learning along the way, so I owe a debt of gratitude to J. Edgar for providing me with a chance to learn from his perspective. I've taken a bit of time to consider his comments, and shared a few of them below with my thoughts.
One weakness is that some of the writing is already available in other places. Tressie Cottom's essay about the lived experience of being poor and making the wrong choices as perceived by outsiders is the most powerful essay in the book, and I'm pretty sure I've read it twice before this book because of people posting it on Twitter.
Ultimately though, the book's strength is also part of its weakness. Since there are a lot of voices, there is no one thing that we can take away as the answer to the titular question. Having this be an issue aired recently and on the tips of the tongues from economists like Deaton and Piketty and Milanovic is good, but it is at the grassroots that hopefully will move the needle. I just worry the robots will rise before we work out an equitable distribution to the gains of the productivity and that in ten years we will be asking the same questions from a scarier baseline.
The book is intended first as a reader for the social sciences. The idea was for it to be consumed by students and then reflected upon; so that each reader could then update their priors individually. So I wasn't looking to get everyone on the same page, but rather to have them end up on better pages of their own.
And I tried to write a closing chapter that pulled together threads that ran throughout the book. I really tried, but I failed miserably. My first stab at it ran over twenty pages, and that wasn't nearly fleshed out. Given the length of the book, I wanted to try to close things out in roughly a half dozen pages, but every time I went in to try to pare it back I ended up with more than I started with.
I'm on the same page as far as the need to move quickly to avoid potential tragedy in the not too distant future. I've recently written two essays on universal basic incomes that will be out soon, and at least part of the next Wicked Problems Collaborative book, "What do we do with technology?" will address this issue head on.
For one, there is no identification of the writers and their educational or professional background. This may have been a deliberate choice, but it diminished it a bit as a reader, since I wasn't able to place the writer into my hermeneutic circle or whatever.
This was a pragmatic trade off that was a very difficult decision. In an attempt to keep the price of the book down, I had to minimize the page count as much as possible. (The printing cost of my first attempt was higher than our eventual sales price. Not good.) But our author bios are available online. Here's the link.
I just noticed that J. Edgar posted his review on our Amazon page. (Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!) I can't overstate how helpful this is for independent publishing houses. If you read a book from a small press like ours, I beseech you to take the time to share a brief, honest review. This is the lifeblood of our work.
Without reviews, it's incredibly hard to build credibility. The self-publishing era has made it possible for people like me to put forth offerings; offerings that we never would have been given a chance to publish in the past. But readers know that this opportunity does not come with a promise of quality. We worked hard to put our best foot forward. Now it's up to the reading public to have their say on how we did. We'll see.
I'd be truly grateful if you would.

In 2021, willingness to defend Donald Trump is the single best indicator of whether a Republican is loyal to the base or beholden to the establishment.
For Adam Kinzinger, it's the latter.
Kinzinger was swept into Congress on the heels of the Tea Party movement but immediately stabbed them in the back and has been shilling for the deep state ever since. Now that we're in the 11th hour of crossing the Rubicon / Delaware, Kinzinger is invoking his spirit animal Paul Ryan in an attempt to sabotage Republican efforts to expose electoral fraud and stop the steal.
His criticisms are, of course, a total inversion of the truth. When we follow the Constitution to the very letter of Articles II and III, as well as the 12th Amendment, he accuses us of attacking it. When he goes on MSNBC to suck up to leftists and draw attention to himself by counter-signaling Republican efforts to stop the steal, he accuses others of grifting. Kinzinger, like all other Neocon leftists, accuses his enemies of what he himself is doing.
What could explain this treachery? Is it that he's an intrinsically motivated ideologue? Is it that he's being bribed? Or is it simply that there's a video out there of him raping a kid?
Big think.
In other election related news, rumors are swirling regarding January 6th and whether or not Pence will do the right thing.
I've got the latest!

Q: Can you say "I'm hurting" Was readin song lyrics of a commercial song written in english and have two questions:

*

*One line goes "can't you see I'm hurting" - is that correct english to use?

*One line said "all for you" as implied - (I would do/I eould give) all for you - is it correct english to say all for you in that context?
P.S English is my second language and the songwriter as well I think

A: Why would you doubt that?
Never you mind "lyrics have different rules" or "not everything a native speaker says is grammatically correct"…
"Can't you see I'm hurting" is perfectly acceptable in written or spoken or sung English.
"… all for you" could very easily be correct, but as posted above there isn't enough context to be certain… "I did it all for you" or "everything I did, I did for you" or "this is/was/would be/could be all for you" are perfectly acceptable, as could be dozens of other examples

Q: What does Opt.out mean? Looking at the call stack I just noticed this:

Notice the Opt.out at the top.
Just curious, what does Opt.out mean?
Here's the snippet that I'm stepping through:
function BinaryEquals(Left, Right: pointer; Size: integer): boolean;
....
{$IFDEF CPUX64}
asm
 ....
  sub r8,4
@loop1:
  inc  R8

A: I'm not sure what the mnemonic means, but what the call stack is telling you is that it cannot reliably report the value of the arguments.
Consider this program:
procedure Foo(Bar: Pointer);
asm
  xor eax,eax
end;

begin
  Foo(nil);
end.

Step into Foo. When you do so the call stack looks like this in 32 bit:

Project1.Foo(nil)
Project1.Project1
:76f5337a kernel32.BaseThreadInitThunk + 0x12
:775b92e2 ntdll.RtlInitializeExceptionChain + 0x63
:775b92b5 ntdll.RtlInitializeExceptionChain + 0x36

and this in 64 bit:

Project1.Foo(nil)
Project1.Project1
:00000000772959CD ; C:\Windows\system32\kernel32.dll
:00000000773CB981 ; ntdll.dll

Then step over the first line of Foo. Now the call stack looks like this for in 32 bit:

Project1.Foo(???)
Project1.Project1
:76f5337a kernel32.BaseThreadInitThunk + 0x12
:775b92e2 ntdll.RtlInitializeExceptionChain + 0x63
:775b92b5 ntdll.RtlInitializeExceptionChain + 0x36

and this in 64 bit:

Project1.Foo(Opt.out)
Project1.Project1
:00000000772959CD ; C:\Windows\system32\kernel32.dll
:00000000773CB981 ; ntdll.dll

What the debugger is telling you is that the arguments arrived in registers. It has no control over what you do with registers once the body of the asm function is executed. And so it declines to attempt to report argument values.
If you switch to the 32 bit compiler, and change calling convention so that the arguments arrive on the stack rather than in registers, then the behaviour is different. In that scenario the debugger feels confident to report argument values because it believes that you are not going to trash the stack.
In 32 bit that is made clear by the using of ???. Quite why the text Opt.out is used in 64 bit I don't know, but the meaning of it is clear.


Teaches him. A bird in the hand is worth 2 in a bush.
So how do we stop it if it's unconstitutional?
I have that same problem as well.
Can't believe Canadians are about to elect Trump of the North.
I noticed they finally fixed that annoying touch sensitivity issue. The one where you slightly touch the edges of the remote and the channel changes. Thank god. This glitch forced me to use the iPhone remote app instead of the actual remote.
Bernie should start a third party. With what he has accomplished he's demonstrated that this is very viable. A party that's left of Blue Dog democrats. People in America are tired of always voting for the lesser of two evils. The pundits keep saying he's started a movement and he should be proud of that but I think he can go further and create a lasting legacy with a third party.
I don't think so because in addition to authenticating the account with userid/password you must also be on the subnet class/ip address assigned to the account.
because they'd blow their cover.
During your research, what did you find out about his good deeds?
As far as I know they can't torture him but I think legally they can perform enhanced interrogation.

How to Install VirtualBox Guest Additions on Kali Linux?
In this article, I'm going to show you that how to install VirtualBox Guest Additions on Kali Linux. When you are installing Kali Linux on VirtualBox or VMware, it's important to install guest additions on VBox and VMware tools on VMware. If you want to have a wide display and everything works as real, so it's more important.
On VMware, it's very easy without any problem you can install it but on VBox, it's not that much easy. You must run some commands. Anyway, in this post I'm going to show you in step by step.
These commands are for latest Kali Linux version.
If the above method did not work for you, try this technique. Both methods provide proper mouse and screen integration. When you install the Guest Additions on the guest environment, all the good and advanced feature that you have on real machine. You'll have those features on the guest environment.
Step #1. Start VM and login to your Kali Linux operating system. Once you loged in, from the top menu, tap on "Devices" then click on "Insert Guest Additions CD Image". This is going to work when your virtual machine is turned on.
A new small window will pop up for you that saying "The software will run directly from the medium VBOXADDITIONS_4.2.8. You should never run software that you don't trust. If in doubt, press Cancel." You'll see this message. What you are going to do? If you click on "Run", nothing will happen. Press "Cancel".
Step #2. Now Open terminal then type these commands.
When typed "Reboot", your virtual machine will restart automatically. After restarting, you'll have an awesome wide screen.
In this article, I covered that how to install VirtualBox guest additions on Kali Linux and how the commads worked. All these tasks done in this post. If you did not understand any command or any parts, let us know. Thanks for being with us.
