OSTI.GOV Journal Article: Molecular dynamics simulation of sodium aluminosilicate glass structures and glass surface-water reactions using the reactive force field (ReaxFF)
Title: Molecular dynamics simulation of sodium aluminosilicate glass structures and glass surface-water reactions using the reactive force field (ReaxFF)
Reactive potentials are increasingly used to study the properties of glasses and glass water reactions in a reactive molecular dynamics (MD) framework. In this study, we have simulated a ternary sodium aluminosilicate glass and investigated the initial stages of the glass surface-water reactions at 300 K using reactive force field (ReaxFF). On comparison of the simulated glass structures generated using ReaxFF and classical Buckingham potentials, our results show that the atomic density profiles calculated for the surface glass structures indicate a bond-angle distribution dependency. The atomic density profiles also show higher concentrations of non-bridging oxygens (NBOs) and sodium ions at the glass surface. Additionally, we present our results of formation of silanol species and the diffusion of water molecules at the glass surface using ReaxFF.

Understanding the chemistry of cation leaching in illite/water interfacial system using reactive molecular dynamics simulations and hydrothermal experiments
Journal Article Muraleedharan, Murali Gopal ; Herz-Thyhsen, Ryan ; Dewey, Janet C. ; ... - Acta Materialia
Despite long standing pursuit, fundamental questions concerning the chemical pathways of leaching of ions in minerals, a phenomenon crucial to energy extraction, hydrometallurgy, metal recovery, and agriculture remain unanswered. Here we use large-scale ReaxFF reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in combination with hydrothermal experiments to understand the chemistry of leaching in illite exposed to aqueous environment. Here, our simulations show that potassium counterions leach out into the solution much earlier and in higher concentration when compared with aluminum and silicon, which form the structural network of illite. Upon analyzing the chemical pathway from the trajectory of MD simulations, water moleculesmore » supply protons near the illite surface that binds with the non-bridging oxygen (NBO) of the Al-O-Si linkage forming an [Al-O-Si]—H transition state that later converts to silanol group upon Al-O bond dissociation. Proton addition also weakens the interlayer K-O bonds, resulting in the diffusion of K+ ions to illite surface, where they combine with the hydroxyl group formed from water dissociation, to form KOH molecules. KOH molecules diffuse out reactively to bulk water via proton exchange mechanism. Furthermore, we also find that continued protonation results in the formation of Al(OH) 3 and Si(OH) 4 groups predominantly at the surface, which diffuse out into water resulting in the leaching of Al and Si cations. We also estimated the kinetics of surface reactivity from the MD simulations and explored its effectiveness as a surrogate model for leaching kinetics. However, surface reaction kinetics and experimentally measured leaching kinetics seemed to be off by several orders of magnitude. Lastly, we also analyzed the effects of leaching on structural distortion and found that more than 20% leaching is required for a notable structural distortion in illite crystal.« less
Atomistic understanding of surface wear process of sodium silicate glass in dry versus humid environments
Journal Article Hahn, Seung Ho ; Liu, Hongshen ; Kim, Seong H. ; ... - Journal of the American Ceramic Society
Understanding surface reactions of silicate glass under interfacial shear is vital as it can provide physical insights needed for rational design of more durable glasses. In this work, we performed reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with ReaxFF potentials to study the mechanochemical wear of sodium silicate glass rubbed with amorphous silica in the absence and presence of interfacial water molecules. The effect of water molecules on the shear-induced chemical reaction at the sliding interface was investigated. The dependence of wear on the number of interfacial water molecules in ReaxFF-MD simulations was in reasonable agreement with the experimental data. Confirming this,more » the ReaxFF-MD simulation was used to find further details of atomistic reaction dynamics that cannot be obtained from experimental investigations only. The simulation demonstrated that the severe wear in the dry condition is due to the formation of interfacial Sisubstrate–O–Sicounter_surface bond that convey the interfacial shear stress to the subsurface and the presence of interfacial water reduces the interfacial bridging bond formation. The leachable sodium ions facilitate surface reactions with water-producing hydroxyl groups and their key role in the hydrolysis reaction is discussed.« less

Structural features of sodium silicate glasses from reactive force field-based molecular dynamics simulations
Journal Article Deng, Lu ; Urata, Shingo ; Takimoto, Yasuyuki ; ... - Journal of the American Ceramic Society
Atomistic computer simulations can offer insights into silicate glass-environment interactions with the recent development of reactive potentials. Yet, the accuracy of generated glass structures with these potential was usually not fully examined. In this paper, the capability of the reactive force field (ReaxFF) to describe the short and medium range structure features of sodium silicate glasses in molecular dynamics simulations is investigated by comparing a widely used partial charge pairwise potential and available experimental data. Glass structure information such as pair distribution function (PDF), coordination number, Qn species, neutron broadened structure factor, and X-ray broadened structure factor of the glassmore » structures from ReaxFF simulations were calculated and compared to evaluate the generated glass structure. Advantages and limitations of the potentials and glass forming procedures, as well as areas of further improvement, were discussed. The results show that the recently refined ReaxFF parameters through the proposed procedure enable the simulations of sodium silicate glass structures with minimal defects, which paves the way to investigate water-glass interaction mechanisms with the reactive enabled potentials.« less
Stress effects on the initial lithiation of crystalline silicon nanowires: Reactive molecular dynamics simulations using ReaxFF
Journal Article Ostadhossein, Alireza ; Cubuk, Ekin D. ; Tritsaris, Georgios A. ; ... - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP (Print)
Silicon (Si) has been recognized as a promising anode material for the next-generation high-capacity lithium (Li)-ion batteries because of its high theoretical energy density. Recent in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the electrochemical lithiation of crystalline Si nanowires (c-SiNWs) proceeds by the migration of the interface between the lithiated Si (LixSi) shell and the pristine unlithiated core, accompanied by solid-state amorphization. The underlying atomic mechanisms of Li insertion into c-Si remain poorly understood. In this research, we perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the reactive force field (ReaxFF) to characterize the lithiation process of c-SiNWs. Our calculations showmore » that ReaxFF can accurately reproduce the energy barriers of Li migration from DFT calculations in both crystalline (c-Si) and amorphous Si (a-Si). The ReaxFF-based MD simulations reveal that Li insertion into interlayer spacing between two adjacent (111) planes results in the peeling-off of the (111) facets and subsequent amorphization, in agreement with experimental observations. We find that breaking of the Si–Si bonds between (111)-bilayers requires a rather high local Li concentration, which explains the atomically sharp amorphous–crystalline interface (ACI). Our stress analysis shows that lithiation induces compressive stress at the ACI layer, causing retardation or even the stagnation of the reaction front, also in good agreement with TEM observations. Lithiation at high temperatures (e.g. 1200 K) shows that Li insertion into c-SiNW results in an amorphous to crystalline phase transformation at Li : Si composition of ~4.2:1. In conclusion, our modeling results provide a comprehensive picture of the effects of reaction and diffusion-induced stress on the interfacial dynamics and mechanical degradation of SiNW anodes under chemo-mechanical lithiation.« less

Theoretical Investigation of Hydrogen Adsorption and Dissociation on Iron and Iron Carbide Surfaces Using the ReaxFF Reactive Force Field Method
Journal Article Zou, Chenyu ; van Duin, Adri C.T. ; Sorescu, Dan C. - Topics in Catalysis
We have developed a ReaxFF reactive force field to describe hydrogen adsorption and dissociation on iron and iron carbide surfaces relevant for simulation of Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis on iron catalysts. This force field enables large system (>>1000 atoms) simulations of hydrogen related reactions with iron. The ReaxFF force field parameters are trained against a substantial amount of structural and energetic data including the equations of state and heats of formation of iron and iron carbide related materials, as well as hydrogen interaction with iron surfaces and different phases of bulk iron. We have validated the accuracy and applicability of ReaxFFmore » force field by carrying out molecular dynamics simulations of hydrogen adsorption, dissociation and recombination on iron and iron carbide surfaces. The barriers and reaction energies for molecular dissociation on these two types of surfaces have been compared and the effect of subsurface carbon on hydrogen interaction with iron surface is evaluated. We found that existence of carbon atoms at subsurface iron sites tends to increase the hydrogen dissociation energy barrier on the surface, and also makes the corresponding hydrogen dissociative state relatively more stable compared to that on bare iron. These properties of iron carbide will affect the dissociation rate of H{sub 2} and will retain more surface hydride species, thus influencing the dynamics of the FT synthesis process.« less

Hunters Getting Shafted in Hunt for Bucky
doctariAFC
This is a comforting bit of info, isn't it? Since this current drama, which has been playing out since April 2, 2006, is happening literally in my backyard, and in my hunting grounds, one can certainly tell that I am incredibly POed at this entire fiasco!
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,212094,00.html
Squirrel season opened on Sept 1, as did the early Canada Goose Season. We are 6 weeks away from the Archery opener, and four weeks away from grouse and rabbit opener.
Methinks it is high time for these inept cops to come off their proverbial "high horse" and turn back the pages of American History to the days of the Wild West, get together with the Sportsmen's organizations, enlist the help of some of the best coyote hunters in the State, temporarily deputize them, form a Posse, get 6 well-trained **** hounds into the woods outfitted with GPS tracking collars, and about 2 dozen coyote hunters armed with .308 and night scopes. Each man carries a GPS tracker unit displaying the position of the dogs, get the dogs on the scent, and hunt this a-hole. When the dogs encircle an area, move in, surround the area, pick him out with thermal imaging, and have at him.
The reward is now up to $225,000.00. Let's make it $500,000.00, Dead or Alive, and get the professionals into the woods. Meaning, the hunters!

I saw where the trooper with the 1 year old died. They could drop the reward, I know plenty of folks that would hunt that dirtbag for free and they could give the money to his victims families.

I think that is an awesome idea. However, I know there will be at least one governmental official that will choke over the huge liability that is being taken by NYS allowing "civilians" to pursue a fugitive.
vermonster13 said:
Yeah, it sucks. The kicker is although this convict is the prime suspect, as of right now no hard evidence exists that it was indeed him that did the shooting. A couple months back, a State Trooper shot and killed a kid riding an ATV at a big gathering in Sherman, NY (Chautauqua County), with some reports stating that the troopers believed they had gotten Bucky, but it turned out it was not Bucky. A story then was oushed out that the kid dragged the cop a mile on the ATV before the trooper pulled his service pistol and shot the kid, 4 times, in the back.
I have met the kid's father, who is understandably distraught and very POed. The guy was clearing some trees off my sister's property, and that's how I met the guy, and got some of the story from him.
Well, apparently a rumor, and it is only a rumor (I want to make that clear), that Bucky wasn't the shooter, but perhaps one or two of the family members of the kid that got shot off the ATV. I don't hold much water on that one, but, it could indeed be the perfect act of vengeance, couldn't it? Pop a couple cops out of revenge for killing the kid, and you know Bucky will be the one blamed?
Again, I don't buy iy, but, it does make for very interesting speculation, and underscores some of the challenges involved with this entire fiasco.
What really gets me is why has it taken so bloody long to catch this puke? The VA State Police had a manhunt out for a guy who escaped from prison, shot two guards, etc, and they got him in 2 days! Here we are in September - 5 months now!!! FUBAR.
Time to round up the Posse and get this guy.
Tax Lawyer said:
Yeah, I know. My answer is two-fold.
1 - Who Cares. Let's get the job done.
2 - Cops are just like us, people. However, if they do not know the woods, or are not hunters themselves, they are unqualified to fulfill the task at hand, relying on more dumb-luck than anything else. With the amount of money being spent on overtime for so many agencies, I would think we could end this thing quickly, at far less cost, even factoring in liability, to get the profressionals involved.
Let's all remember this guy Bucky is an escaped felon, a convict, a fugitive. He has no rights whatsoever. He has also added to his list of criminal accomplishments the wounding of oat least one State Trooper in June, and quite probably the wounding and killing of two more troopers last week. HE HAS NO RIGHTS. Take him out with extreme prejudice. If we get him alive, that's a bonus, but the first goal should be to remove this danger to society forthwith, rather than the pandering to ACLU types and debating whether this scumbag still has "rights." He forfeited what rights he may have had left when he escaped from Prison. He definitely tossed any reasonable and unreasonable arguments for playing nice when he shot State Policemen.
GET THE HUNTERS ON HIM, and we'll be enjoying the woods again before the end of the week.

Hello chaps, chappettes and everything elsewhere and in-between! It's the "From the forum" time once again and this month I'd like to know about your memories of Tomb Raider - whether you loved the games, hated them, got into it 20 years ago or only tried out the series this year.
As usual, we'll print your answers off, stick them to children and make them play a game of musical chairs until we've whittled the field down to a sufficient number of answers to print, then print those.
Wasnt very keen on the game itself, but loved the mod that made her naked. The developers included a cheat code for Tomb Raider II but when you used it she blew up into bits so didn't realy play it after that.
I always remember how it was used in Spaced, where Tim (Simon Pegg) used it as an outlet of rage over his girlfriend leaving him… by the way of making Lara Croft repeatedly drown.
Tomb Raider III was the first Playstation game I played. I'd been using my Amigas since 1987, and when I got a Playstation in 1999 I put this on first. Me and my Brother were looking at the screen when the game started, with Lara on a grassy slope and we looked at each other and said "Is it on? Is that actually going to move?". I moved the stick and the whole screen spun round in real-time. We were impressed to say the least.
I've played eight TR games so far, and still enjoy them.
Or the bit with the poisonous arrows that if you followed the animal tracks in the snow they wouldn't hit you.
I remember really enjoying it until I got hopelessly stuck on one of the later levels. And people think the Water Temple is hard!
I went into my local Choices Video to buy Fighting Vipers for the Saturn, picked that up and then noticed the Tomb Raider box, thought it looked interesting, and having more disposable income back then bought that as well, loaded it up and absolutely loved it, especially how the beautiful score would kick in at various points, such as seeing a waterfall for the first time.
Didn't touch Fighting Vipers for days!
Hearing that beautiful theme tune kick in at apt moments in the first Tomb Raider game always and still does send a chill up my spine.
Seeing an enormous edifice in front of you and realising it wasn't just background scenery - there was a way to get to the top... if you could find it.
I remember picking up the original and really enjoying it but was i ever rubbish at it. I could never get past the fourth level despite having beaten the final one at a friends house.
Looking down at the endless set of stairs and platforms in the St.Francis' Folly level when playing the first Tomb Raider, and just thinking "wow."
Loved the game up until TR III, then lost it's way for a while.
I first stumbled upon the demo on the magazine cover disc. It seemed okay, but not great. But with rave reviews coming out opted to buy the game for the PS1. And wow. The exploration aspect just had me hooked. The second game tweaked it and made it brilliant, but after that it all got a bit average.
Never really been a big fan of Tomb Raider although it was a groundbreaking game at the time on the PS1.

Are lockdown rules changing? Pubs could be closed until May as Boris Johnson considers extending lockdown
The first bank holiday weekend in May has been given as a possible reopening date
Harry GoldTrainee Multimedia Reporter
Pubs could remain closed for a further four months due to fears about social distancing, reports have claimed.
When England was plunged into a nationwide lockdown last week, non-essential businesses such as pubs were forced to close.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said restrictions could be in place until at least mid-February, but it's believed lockdown measures are likely to remain in place until late March.
Pubs are likely to be one of the last businesses to reopen and government ministers are reportedly looking at the first bank holiday in May as a possible reopening date, the Mirror reports.
A source told The Sunday Times: "The May Day bank holiday is more likely the moment you see pubs reopening."
It comes after takeaway pints were banned last week as part of lockdown measures introduced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
There are fears the difficulty of social distancing in pubs could make them a vector for spreading the coronavirus.
It comes as the Government is also reported to be looking at tougher rules - with major changes to support bubbles and exercise regulations and masks having to be work when in queues or at work - as well as in outdoor areas.
Professor Devi Sridhar, chair of public health at Edinburgh University, told Times Radio that, although lockdowns are "crude" and "catastrophic" for the economy and mental health, one is needed given the prevalence of Covid-19 across the UK currently.
Lockdown restrictions are in place in various forms across the UK in the fight against the new more transmissible variant which has spread rapidly in many parts of the country.
But, Prof Sridhar said, a post-lockdown strategy must be put in place to suppress the virus going into the summer.
She said: "With the numbers we're at, there's no other choice.
"For me, it's a three-phase strategy – first is right now, it's crude, it's catastrophic for the economy and for people's mental health, but a lockdown.
"Get those numbers down, protect the NHS for the next 12 weeks."

She added: "When we get into March and hopefully numbers are low again and we get into seasonal change, get your testing and tracing and your border measures in place to really suppress.
"And then in the summer, instead of taking your foot off the gas and saying 'let's open up everything', actually think 'how do we prevent this winter from happening again? How do we actually protect that low prevalence, get emergency teams in place in case there are flare-ups… go in, have a quick, sharp one-week lockdown and get your testing and tracing to clear the virus."
Professor Devi Sridhar said the four nations will see cases rise again in the summer months if test and trace systems, mass testing and support packages for people self-isolating are not put in place.
She told Times Radio: "We are not at the mercy of this virus where whatever it does we have to react.
"We can dictate how this evolves but we need a bit more agency in being more proactive and ahead of it instead of always behind it.."

Country State Of Mind
Label: Snakefarm,
Genre: Country, Singer/ Songwriter,
CD - £11.99 GBP
Multi-platinum-selling country music star Josh Turner invites fans to join him in scaling what the charismatic performer likes to call his "Mount Rushmore of Country Music" on his outstanding new studio album COUNTRY STATE OF MIND.
The 12-song collection finds Turner in an enlightened "country state of mind" as he pays homage to a cross-section of classic country music icons, including five legends who have long held a firm place in his musical journey: Randy Travis, John Anderson, Johnny Cash, Vern Gosdin, and Hank Williams, "I've always said that any song you hear coming from my voice, you're going to hear bits and pieces of those five guys," says Turner. "They taught me how to be Josh Turner."
COUNTRY STATE OF MIND showcases Turner as a disciple of country music history, with the album spanning more than half a century of classic country music, encompassing both well-known standards and deep-catalog cuts, many of which hold deep personal meaning. Turner also invited other stellar country voices — some heroes, some contemporaries — to join him in the studio as he crafted his celebration of classic country.

I am so excited I can hardly contain myself! If I'm dreaming, please do not pinch me.
I have been thinking about walking the Camino de Santiago for a while now. But, in my heart, I knew I was way past that stage in my life where I wanted to walk all day and then sleep on the ground or in a hostel with the smelly, partying masses of young folk. Not to mention carrying all my belongings on my back. Don't get me wrong – I love young people. I used to be one. Truly, some of my best friends are young. And, I still like a good party! I do not think of myself as old and crotchety, no matter what my kids might tell you. But, when it comes to SLEEP. Now that's a different matter entirely. Let it be known here that I am not nice (and might even be considered cranky if not downright crotchety) when I don't get my full eight hours – preferably in comfort and relative silence. So, I wasn't sure how to make this particular dream a reality. It was definitely a conundrum.
I firmly believe that there is always a way and a brilliant solution came to me in the form of an article written by a woman who had completed what I like to call the "relatively civilized, not too hard but still challenging, with support if and when you need it" version of walking the Camino. Marly Tours was our answer! This discovery made it all seem do-able. All we needed was a little time, a moderate amount of money and good walking shoes. As it turned out, I mentioned our idea to a few friends and now we are a party of six. Hubs, me, my sis and three women friends. It's a big year too – my 65th birthday, my sister's "something that ends in a zero" birthday, hubs and my 10th anniversary. Definitely a year worth marking in a big way. We'll walk about 10-12 miles a day at our own pace and meet up along the way. Then we'll gather together every evening for wine, dinner and story-telling before bed. We'll be a small group of no more than 14 Pilgrims + our Marly "wranglers" who will make sure we don't get lost, carry our luggage, provide snacks, first aid and sag wagon support if needed.
So… we're off. Well not until next September. Exactly twelve months from this week. Call me a light weight, call me soft, call me old, but do not call me between September 17 and 24, because I won't be home. I'll be in Spain, crossing one more item off my bucket list – walking at least a small portion of the Camino de Santiago.
Staying in small hotels like this… Sleeping in a comfy bed like this… Walking along roads and paths like this… Now, I just need to find a home exchange so we can stay an extra week to explore the rest of Spain. I'm working on that too.

Innovators need more encouragement and collaboration
By doug on July 3, 2015 Comments Off on Innovators need more encouragement and collaboration
New Zealand innovation desperately needs more encouragement and collaboration, says the New Zealand Innovation Council CEO, Louise Webster.
Speaking in defence of Rocket Lab founder, and 2014 Innovators Award-winner Peter Beck and his proposal to locate a launch site for his rocket business in remote Canterbury, Ms Webster says Kiwis' need to get behind Peter's efforts and support local companies.
"What Peter is doing is exciting and game changing for our country – and the world. Organisations like Peters, and entrepreneurs like him, put New Zealand on the map and help us all to be more ambitious, more driven, and to have more hope for the future and for our future generations. We are creating new technologies and serving them up to the world in style.
Ms Webster says while we are a nation of idea generators, we need to get better at making these ideas a reality. "It's people like Peter who show us that anything is possible."
The New Zealand Innovators Awards 2015 are open for entries and looking for the next wave of innovators, innovations and organisations that have invested in developing new products, services and ventures, as well as improving the performance of their people and teams.
"Our awards are a breeding ground for ingenious individuals and their ideas," says Ms Webster. "Regardless of size or stage of growth, the New Zealand Innovation Awards wants to hear about all contributions to Kiwi innovation. We can help you put yourself on a national stage, profile your business success and get connected to networks to help you develop and grow.
"Collaboration across industries and sectors is key to growth and development for our country. We need both local and international partnerships and investors to help us test and develop global technologies – that is key to helping the New Zealand economy grow."
"We have moved on from simply being a country of commodity production. Nowadays, we can do anything. To put it in rocket-speak; the sparks that ignite the flame are encouragement and collaboration. Let's get behind people like Peter."
Entries for the NZ Innovators Awards are NOW OPEN until 4 August 2015. For more details, visit www.innovators.org.nz

8th Davines Art Series: "Live sea" conveys message on ocean protection
The 8th Davines Art Series is taking place at the Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA), Vincom Royal City in Hanoi.
'Live sea' is the theme of the ongoing 8th Davines Art Series. The exhibition is open to visitors from October 21-30 at the Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA), Vincom Royal City in Hanoi. Along with the Ocean Keeper project, the 'Live sea' exhibition conveys a message of preserving the ocean as humanity's second home. Regarding marine plastic waste pollution, one of the world's most acute environmental problems, Vietnam is ranked 4th globally in terms of mismanaged plastic waste. Ever-increasing amounts of plastic waste pose significant hazards to marine wildlife. Vietnam is striving to reduce 75 percent of plastic waste in the ocean by 2030. (Photo: VietnamPlus)
Following the environmental protection theme of the 7th Davines Art Series in 2019, the 'Live Sea' exhibition 2020 displays photos, paintings and installation artworks of talented artists and prestigious photographers such as Le Hong Linh, Duong Minh Long and Dang Ngoc Thai, with Le Thiet Cuong being the curator of this exhibition. 'Live sea' is a subsequent part of the 'I maintain the beauty' campaign jointly held by Davines, Dep magazine, and Arena MultiMedia. The exhibition conveys a message of preserving the ocean, as humanity's second home. All artworks showcased at the event convey a message of the beauty of the oceans and a call for the public to protect them. (Photo: VietnamPlus)
The most visually impressive is probably installation artworks. In the photo is an artwork called 'Sea Portrait' by Do Hiep and his friends at Arena. The work is attracting young people who love to take backlight photos. Instead of portraying the sea with waves rushing ashore, Do Hiep's artwork presents the image of sea as a silent and mysterious entity. As proposed by the General Director of the Vietnam Administration of Seas and Islands, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE) has promoted the implementation of the national action plan for marine plastic waste management by 2030, with the aim of reducing 75 percent of plastic waste in the ocean by the year. (Photo: VietnamPlus)
Particular actions of the action plan will be taken to apply the 5R model – renew, refuse, reduce, reuse, and recycle – while putting into operation an international centre on marine plastic debris in Vietnam. The most important action to limit marine debris is to boost communications to raise public awareness and change people's behaviour towards plastic products and marine plastics. Therefore, for each period, MoNRE and its affiliates will study, build and implement projects communicating the harmful effects of single-use plastic products like non-degradable plastic bags on seas and oceans, marine ecosystems, the environment, and human health, said Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Le Minh Ngan. (Photo: VietnamPlus)
This photo is taken by Dang Ngoc Thai on Hon Khoi Salt Field of Nha Trang. The Prime Minister issued the national action plan on marine plastic waste management on December 4, 2019. By 2030, the action plan aims to reduce 75 percent of plastic waste in the ocean, have 100 percent of lost or discarded fishing tools collected, and eradicate the direct discharge of fishing tools into the ocean. Vietnam hopes all tourist sites, tourist accommodation establishments and other tourism service providers in coastal areas will not use disposable plastic products or non-biodegradable plastic bags. Meanwhile, all coastal nature reserves will become free of plastic waste by 2030. (Photo: VietnamPlus)
Three lacquer paintings in the photo belong to Dang Tran Quan. The exhibition is open to visitors from October 21-30 at the Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA), Vincom Royal City in Hanoi. Along with the Ocean Keeper project, the 'Live sea' exhibition conveys a message of preserving the ocean as humanity's second home.

Ever-increasing amounts of plastic waste pose significant hazards to marine wildlife. Vietnam is striving to reduce 75 percent of plastic waste in the ocean by 2030. (Photo: VietnamPlus)
Photographer Duong Minh Long brings to the 'Live Sea' exhibition six panorama photos which demonstrate the vastness and magnificence of the sea. Vietnam boasts a 3,260km-long coastline, nearly 3,000 inshore islands, and Truong Sa (Spratly) and Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelagos in the centre of the East Sea. The country also has a sea area of about 1 million sq.km in the East Sea. Sea-based economic sectors contribute 10 percent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP), according to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. Therefore, protecting the marine environment and reducing marine plastic waste pollution is of great significance to the nation. (Photo: VietnamPlus)
The Vincom Center for Contemporary Art darkroom shows 11 short movies of students from Arena MultiMedia school, telling different stories such as the one about people who devote their whole life to help turtles give birth in Binh Thuan, or a trip to discover Nam Du island to promote the beauty of the nature and the sea here. Along with the Ocean Keeper project, the 'Live sea' exhibition conveys a message of preserving the ocean as humanity's second home. The ongoing 8th

Bacchus gets a boost in the Balkans
The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia water system gets an overhaul that benefits everyone—including the country's winemakers. When it comes to good wine, Kavadarci is as important to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia as Bordeaux is to France. The people of Kavadarci have been growing grapes and producing wine since the fourth century BC. The exquisite vintages have always tasted good, but the same can't be said about the water. A few years ago, Kavadarci, the home to southeastern Europe's largest winery, was experiencing serious water supply problems.
"Sometimes during the summer people didn't have access to water up to 12 hours a day," says Ljubisha Jovanovski, a government official overseeing the rehabilitation of the former Yugoslav republic's water supply system. "Even though the region is quite developed, the water system was flawed and unreliable." In fact, the entire country's system has been outdated and in serious need of upgrades for a long time. The quality of the water had also decreased.
Impressive results across country
In 2010, the European Investment Bank and the government of FYR Macedonia signed a EUR 50 million loan to increase the water supply in rural areas and improve wastewater disposal throughout the country. The project raised water quality in most of the 84 municipalities, improving the environment and public health.

"With the EIB's help, we devised a grading system to decide which projects to fund in each municipality," Jovanovski says. The municipalities were also allowed to submit more than one project proposal, if they needed extensive renovations.
"Most of these projects were small-scale," says Marco Beroš, the EIB's lead engineer in water management, "but the results throughout the country are quite impressive."
More than 100,000 people now have better water because of the new or upgraded connections to the water supply system. Almost 137 kilometres of water mains and distribution pipes have been added or upgraded, involving more than 15,000 water supply connections.
"Even more importantly, the quality of the water increased," Jovanovski says.
"Health risks from drinking water have decreased substantially," adds Snezana Menkovska, a consultant working on the project. "People are drinking cleaner water nowadays."
Installation of water meters and pressure reduction valves in Debar
The project also improved the treatment and discharge of wastewater, making sure it is collected more efficiently and properly treated before being discharged. "We finally got a chance to modernise the sewer system, which hadn't been upgraded since before the country became independent," Jovanovski says.
Berovo sewage pipeline
"The loan enabled rural areas to transition from septic tanks to modern piped sewerage," Beroš says. More than 181 kilometres of sewer and storm-water pipes have been built or rehabilitated, connecting more than 37,000 people to sanitation services so far. " The project also supports the goals of the EU bank's Economic Resilience Initiative, a new programme that is improving infrastructure and investing in services such as clean water, better sanitation and modern solid waste management.
Keeping a tradition alive
"I think that the exposure to best international practises will greatly help us in the future," Menkovska says. "It's a great experience for future project applications. Hopefully, we are going to take a step forward in other sectors as well." In the near future, people all over the country will be drinking safer water because of this project. And in the Kavadarci region, maybe the winemaking tradition will stay alive for another 2,500 years.


Thanks for showing up to the first event. I received some solid feedback and I'm currently working on integrating into a new version of the site. Things should be ready in a month or two with more than enough time for a second swap meet in late September or early October.


Hyundai Motor Brasil has unveiled the Hyundai Creta Diamond at the ongoing 2018 Sao Paulo Auto Show. As revealed by the teasers released last month, the concept carries several styling upgrades tied in with a more feature-laden interior.
The company claims to have reworked more than 200 elements to create the bespoke model.
The Hyundai Creta Diamond concept comes lavished in a 'Deep Dive Blue' exterior paint shade, body-coloured plastic cladding, black-coloured Outside Rearview Mirrors (ORVMs), 19-inch dual-tone machined alloy wheels, rehashed LED tail lights, and a panoramic sunroof.
Moreover, the roof, shark fin antennae, and a rear spoiler feature a black paint finish to complete the dual-tone look. The interior features a dual-tone caramel-white dashboard, a white multi-function steering wheel and gear knob, and microfiber quilted seat upholstery finished in ivory and caramel.
The dashboard of the Hyundai Creta Diamond concept has a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment unit that supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Navigation, and Voice Commands.
The concept model benefits from a high-quality JBL-sourced audio system with three amplifiers, six speakers, and a 750 Watt sub-woofer. Furthermore, the Diamond features dual 10-inch entertainment screens for second row passengers.
The rear screens can stream media from USB, DVD, HDMI and the internet.
Powering the Hyundai Creta Diamond concept is a 2.0-litre Dual-CVVT Flex bi-fuel engine & a 6-speed automatic transmission. It outputs a maximum power of 166 PS on ethanol & 156 PS on petrol. In Brazil, the Hyundai Creta rivals the Honda HR-V, Nissan Juke and Renault Duster and the upcoming VW T-Cross.

Raymond Dudley. Pianist, teacher, b Bowmanville, Ont, 20 Jun 1931, d Columbia, South Carolina, 16 Dec 2004; ARCT 1947, LRCT 1949, Artist Diploma (RCMT) 1952. Dudley studied piano with Alberto Guerrero at the Royal Conservatory of Music and made debuts with their symphony orchestra in 1949 and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in 1951. In 1952 he won the Eaton Graduating Scholarship and a medal at the International Geneva Competition. He made his recital debut 13 Jan 1953 at Wigmore Hall, London. He received the Harriet Cohen Commonwealth Medal in 1953, studied in Milan with Ilona Deckers, and made his New York debut 11 Dec 1955 at Town Hall, subsequently appearing with the New York Philharmonic (1957), at Carnegie Hall (1958), and at the opening (1962) of Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center.
Dudley toured the USA and Canada frequently and performed throughout Europe, first as a Jeunesses musicales of Canada (Youth and Music Canada) exchange artist in 1957. In 1966 he took up the fortepiano or Hammerflügel, forerunner of the modern piano, and began to make a speciality of comparative recitals on the two instruments. Although his repertoire ranged from Bach to contemporary Canadians, he was noted as a Haydn specialist and in 1968 performed all of that composer's piano sonatas in eight recitals at the Purcell Room in London. He recorded several Haydn sonatas for Lyrichord (1965; LLST-7149) and the CBC (1975; SM-309). His A Coronation March was published (1956) by Harris and he contributed articles to American Music Teacher (1965), Music Journal (1968), and Diapason (1969). Dudley taught at Indiana University 1957-63, Florida Southern College 1963-4, University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory 1964-79, and the University of South Carolina 1979-91.
In 1979 Dudley completed an integral recording of the Haydn solo sonatas on the fortepiano for the University of South Carolina label (unnumbered). His interest in period instruments broadened: in 1991 at a festival in Kalamazoo, Mich, he performed appropriate repertoire on five different 19th-century pianos.
Concert tours and master-class invitations in the early 1980s took Dudley twice to the Orient with visits to Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and India, and in 1988 he was guest conductor at the Shanghai and Beijing conservatories. In 1989 he took part in the Claudio Arrau 85th birthday celebrations in Santiago, Chile, returning to South America the following year for concerts in Columbia.
In 1990, he was a solo performer and speaker at the symposium 'Remembering Alberto Guerrero' in Toronto, when he also gave a piano master class. In 1991 he gave a benefit recital in Saint-Paul, Que. (where he and his family maintained a summer residence); the event raised over $18,000 for a local hospital. Dudley was a judge for the World Piano Competition 1994-6.

C-Suite Talk Fav Tech: Bradley Maule-ffinch, UC EXPO
Posted by IDG Connect
on April 28 2016
Name: Bradley Maule-ffinch
Job title: Director of Strategy
Company: UC EXPO
Industry: Technology events
Years' of experience: 10+
What is your favourite personal gadget?
It's got to be my Smart TV – it's a brilliant invention and it's continuing to evolve as more sophisticated models pop up from people like Samsung and LG. It's got everything you need in one place and the choice of channels is endless! Then again, that might not be a good thing as you never leave your sofa…
Do you have a favourite piece of personal software?
I personally am a huge advocate of Evernote – it's an incredibly simple way of organising your life, both personal and professional. It's great for compartmentalising my life and it ensures that I never forget anything!
What was the first piece of technology you got really excited about?
Probably the Commodore 64 (showing my age here!) It's still recognised by Guinness World Records as the highest-selling single computer model of all time – it was revolutionary for its time, when you think about the sound quality and the graphics compared to other models of the early 80s.
What device improves your life most at work?
My laptop – what else? Add that to Evernote and I'm unstoppable! In all seriousness, it's great to have something compact and portable that allows me to work wherever I am.
What software keeps you most productive at work?
I'm going to have to go old-school and say Excel. However, there are other technologies catching up fast – particularly Skype for Business! With events like UC EXPO, we're frequently in contact with technology leaders and providers from across Europe and the rest of the world, and Skype for Business makes it so much easier to keep in contact with them and stay up to date.
Is there any technology that has become extinct that you would like to resurrect?
I'd like to see the pager make a comeback. I'm not sure what need we'd have for it today thanks to the domination of the smartphone, but it would be interesting to reintroduce them into business and see how they were used.
Is there any technology you would personally recommend that you don't think enough people know about? (Hardware or software, work or personal)
In terms of business technology, the benefits of DevOps technologies and providing continuous delivery of applications are still not as widely acknowledged as it could be. The nature of business today is 'always-on' connectivity and continuously updating and evolving, so it's important that businesses are aware of the technologies available to make this work across the company.
I'd also say that collaboration technologies are a factor here – we're all aware of BYOD, the ability to work remotely and flexibly and the 'workplace of the future' but these technologies are evolving rapidly to meet the demands of the changing workplace. It's now about securing these technologies and having a strategy to change and evolve with the technology.
Do you think anything about your personal use of tech would surprise your colleagues?
I doubt it – I'm very vocal about my love of the Smart TV!

Ashley of Live. Laugh. PHOTOGRAPH sent over this perfectly charming Southern wedding, complete with cowboys boots and live country music...Texas style! The couple, Katy + Jason, were wed June 11, 2011 just outside of Dallas at Loma Linda in beautiful Rockett, Texas. Doesn't Katy just look flawless in her strapless gown, pearls and cowboy boots? I love it. The rustic venue allowed for a touching outdoor ceremony under the trees. After, the guest made their way to the reception where the dined on Randy's BBQ's signature cuisine and later indulged in their choice of two fabulous desserts by Dallas Affaires Cake Co. To top of the evening, the guests danced the night away to the tunes of Chad McBride and The Drifters.

At some point in their career, at least a third of doctors suffer personal health problems such as injury, aging, or physical and mental illness, which detract from their ability to function properly and to practice medicine safely. In most, impairment is amenable to intervention, treatment, recovery or resolution. However, some conditions, notably depression, may be overrepresented in the medical profession, under-recognized, stigmatised and undertreated, which may have fatal consequences.
