Objectives. This study attempted to determine the feasibility and long-term efficacy of catheter ablation by means of either radiofrequency or direct current energy in a selected group of patients with coronary artery disease.
Background. Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia has proved to be highly effective in patients with idiopathic and bundle branch reentrant ventricular tachycardia. In patients with coronary artery disease and recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia resistant to medical antiarrhythmic management, the value of catheter ablation has not yet been established.
Methods. One hundred thirty-six patients with coronary artery disease and one configuration of monomorphic sustained ventricular tachycardia underwent radiofrequency (72 patients) or direct current catheter ablation (64 patients). The mapping procedure to localize an adequate site for ablation included pace mapping during sinus rhythm, endocardial activation mapping, identification of isolated mid-diastolic potentials and pacing interventions during ventricular tachycardia.
Results. Primary success was achieved in 102 (75%) of 136 patients (74% of 72 undergoing radiofrequency and 77% of 64 with direct current ablation). Complications were noted in 12% of patients. During a mean (± SD) follow-up period of 24 ± 13 months (range 3 to 68), ventricular tachycardia recurred in 16% of patients.
Conclusions. Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia in coronary artery disease is feasible in patients with one configuration of monomorphic sustained ventricular tachycardia. There is no significant difference with respect to the type of energy applied. The follow-up data show that in a selected group of patients with coronary artery disease, catheter ablation offers a therapy alternative.


Results: 1 to 10 of a total of 791 results.

How NCIS: New Orleans' CCH Pounder Really Feels About Dr. Wade
Amy Sussman/Getty
By C.M. Crockford/Dec. 7, 2021 10:30 am EST
From 2014 until the show's cancellation in 2021, actress CCH Pounder has been co-starring in the crime procedural "NCIS: New Orleans." Pounder plays the Jefferson Parish coroner Dr. Loretta Wade, who assists the NCIS agents with autopsies and forensics that help them crack their cases. Loretta is a stern but kind-hearted professional whose insights into investigations are invaluable to her friend and colleague, Special Agent Pride (Scott Bakula).
Loretta's life took several turns over the course of the show's seven seasons, from adopting two children who were involved in a major case to struggling to find a healthy way to cope with the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, when Pounder was originally offered the role, she was reluctant to take it. The actress wasn't sure about the character or about the prospect of yet another "NCIS" spin-off, according to AARP. Here's what the veteran actress now thinks of the character she played for nearly a decade.
CCH Pounder loves how three-dimensional Loretta is
CBS/YouTube
While some actors outright dislike the characters that bring them notoriety, CCH Pounder actually likes Loretta Wade and the direction in which the show took the role.
The actress appreciates that Wade has unexpected depths as both a woman of color and a caring mother. During an interview with CBS Minnesota, she said, "I'm able to be a sassy coroner and a woman who adopts two kids because they need a home. In other shows you are relegated to a box, you're the doctor, the nurse, the lawyer. So far it has been an exciting journey."
At first, Pounder thought "NCIS: New Orleans" would be more of a predictable procedural. But that ended up not being the case, and she enjoyed her time on the series enormously. During her interview with CBS Minnesota, Pounder credited the setting with bringing energy to the show. "New Orleans is a character," she said, "that creates different types of characters and beings and this show has paid attention to where they are." She even bought a home in The Big Easy itself after she began filming the series, according to CBS New Orleans.
It sounds like "NCIS: New Orleans" was ultimately an experience that gave CCH Pounder far more than she was expecting.

Author's trip to Ireland fulfills dream
Oamaru author and historian David Harrowfield has fulfilled a life dream by going on a trip to Ireland.
Mr Harrowfield, who is an expert on Antarctica and has visited the continent more than 40 times, embarked on a trip to the Northern Hemisphere in April and visited the South Pole Inn, which Irish Antarctic explorer Tom Crean established after he retired from the Navy in 1920.
The historian said he heard about Mr Crean during his days as a student at Waitaki Boys' High School and never dreamed he would one day visit the Irish inn, situated in Annascaul, County Kerry.
"It was something I just had to do," he said.
Mr Crean went on several Antarctic expeditions, including Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated Terra Nova mission, which has special significance to Oamaru, as the world was informed of Scott's death when the Terra Nova reached Oamaru on February 10, 1913.
Going to the inn meant Mr Harrowfield had, in a way, completed a full circle from Oamaru to Antarctica to Annascaul, he said.
"That was my mission to complete the story from Oamaru," Mr Harrowfield said.
"I came back to Oamaru a few days ago and it was as if I have completed a journey that I was meant to make."
Mr Harrowfield brought back a Crean's pint glass from the inn, now proudly displayed in a cabinet in his "polar room", which is full of Antarctic memorabilia.
Mr Harrowfield spent two months in Antarctica earlier this year on the ship Spirit of Enderby as a member of staff with Heritage Expeditions.
He said he would most likely be making his last trip to the icy continent in January next year on the same ship.

Project acronym ACAP
Project Acency Costs and Asset Pricing
Researcher (PI) Thomas Mariotti
Host Institution (HI) FONDATION JEAN-JACQUES LAFFONT,TOULOUSE SCIENCES ECONOMIQUES
Summary The main objective of this research project is to contribute at bridging the gap between the two main branches of financial theory, namely corporate finance and asset pricing. It is motivated by the conviction that these two aspects of financial activity should and can be analyzed within a unified framework. This research will borrow from these two approaches in order to construct theoretical models that allow one to analyze the design and issuance of financial securities, as well as the dynamics of their valuations. Unlike asset pricing, which takes as given the price of the fundamentals, the goal is to derive security price processes from a precise description of firm's operations and internal frictions. Regarding the latter, and in line with traditional corporate finance theory, the analysis will emphasize the role of agency costs within the firm for the design of its securities. But the analysis will be pushed one step further by studying the impact of these agency costs on key financial variables such as stock and bond prices, leverage, book-to-market ratios, default risk, or the holding of liquidities by firms. One of the contributions of this research project is to show how these variables are interrelated when firms and investors agree upon optimal financial arrangements. The final objective is to derive a rich set of testable asset pricing implications that would eventually be brought to the data.

Project acronym AFRIGOS
Project African Governance and Space: Transport Corridors, Border Towns and Port Cities in Transition
Researcher (PI) Paul Christopher Nugent
Summary AFRIGOS investigates the process of 'respacing' Africa, a political drive towards regional and continental integration, on the one hand, and the re-casting of Africa's engagement with the global economy, on the other. This is reflected in unprecedented levels of investment in physical and communications infrastructure, and the outsourcing of key functions of Customs, Immigration and security agencies. AFRIGOS poses the question of how far respacing is genuinely forging institutions that are facilitating or obstructing the movement of people and goods; that are enabling or preventing urban and border spaces from being more effectively and responsively governed; and that take into account the needs of African populations whose livelihoods are rooted in mobility and informality. The principal research questions are approached through a comparative study of port cities, border towns and other strategic nodes situated along the busiest transport corridors in East, Central, West and Southern Africa. These represent sites of remarkable dynamism and cosmopolitanism, which reflects their role in connecting African urban centres to each other and to other global cities. AFRIGOS considers how governance 'assemblages' are forged at different scales and is explicitly comparative. It works through 5 connected Streams that address specific questions: 1. AGENDA-SETTING is concerned with policy (re-)formulation. 2. PERIPHERAL URBANISM examines governance in border towns and port cities. 3. BORDER WORKERS addresses everyday governance emerging through the interaction of officials and others who make their livelihoods from the border. 4. CONNECTIVE INFRASTRUCTURE looks as the transformative effects of new technologies. 5. PEOPLE & GOODS IN MOTION traces the passage of people and goods and the regimes of regulation to which they are subjected. AFRIGOS contributes to interdisciplinary research on borderland studies, multi-level governance and the everyday state.

Project acronym AFRISCREENWORLDS
Project African Screen Worlds: Decolonising Film and Screen Studies
Researcher (PI) Lindiwe Dovey
Host Institution (HI) SCHOOL OF ORIENTAL AND AFRICAN STUDIES ROYAL CHARTER
Summary A half century since it came into existence, the discipline of Film and Screen Studies remains mostly Eurocentric in its historical, theoretical and critical frameworks. Although "world cinema" and "transnational cinema" scholars have attempted to broaden its canon and frameworks, several major problems persist. Films and scholarship by Africans in particular, and by people of colour in general, are frequently marginalised if not altogether excluded. This prevents exciting exchanges that could help to re-envision Film and Screen Studies for the twenty-first century, in an era in which greater access to the technological means of making films, and circulating them on a range of screens, means that dynamic "screen worlds" are developing at a rapid rate. AFRISCREENWORLDS will study these "screen worlds" (in both their textual forms and industrial structures), with a focus on Africa, as a way of centring the most marginalised regional cinema. We will also elaborate comparative studies of global "screen worlds" – and, in particular, "screen worlds" in the Global South – exploring their similarities, differences, and parallel developments. We will respond to the exclusions of Film and Screen Studies not only in scholarly ways – through conferences and publications – but also in creative and activist ways – through drawing on cutting-edge creative research methodologies (such as audiovisual criticism and filmmaking) and through helping to decolonise Film and Screen Studies (through the production of 'toolkits' on how to make curricula, syllabi, and teaching more globally representative and inclusive). On a theoretical level, we will make an intervention through considering how the concept of "screen worlds" is better equipped than "world cinema" or "transnational cinema" to explore the complexities of audiovisual narratives, and their production and circulation in our contemporary moment, in diverse contexts throughout the globe.

Project Architectural design In Dialogue with dis-Ability Theoretical and methodological exploration of a multi-sensorial design approach in architecture
Researcher (PI) Ann Heylighen
Host Institution (HI) KATHOLIEKE UNIVERSITEIT LEUVEN
Summary This research project is based on the notion that, because of their specific interaction with space, people with particular dis-abilities are able to appreciate spatial qualities or detect misfits in the environment that most architects—or other designers—are not even aware of. This notion holds for sensory dis-abilities such as blindness or visual impairment, but also for mental dis-abilities like autism or Alzheimer's dementia. The experiences and subsequent insights of these dis-abled people, so it is argued, represent a considerable knowledge resource that would complement and enrich the professional expertise of architects and designers in general. This argument forms the basis for a methodological and theoretical exploration of a multi-sensorial design approach in architecture. On the one hand, a series of retrospective case studies will be conducted to identify and describe the motives and elements that trigger or stimulate architects' attention for the multi-sensorial spatial experiences of people with dis-abilities when designing spaces. On the other hand, the research project will investigate experimentally in real time to what extent design processes and products in architecture can be enriched by establishing a dialogue between the multi-sensorial 'knowing-in-action' of people with dis-abilities and the expertise of professional architects/designers. In this way, the research project aims to develop a more profound understanding of how the concept of Design for All can be realised in architectural practice. At least as important, however, is its contribution to innovation in architecture tout court. The research results are expected to give a powerful impulse to quality improvement of the built environment by stimulating and supporting the development of innovative design concepts.

Project acronym AnCon
Project A Comparative Anthropology of Conscience, Ethics and Human Rights
Researcher (PI) Tobias William Kelly
Summary This project is a comparative anthropology of conscience, ethics and human rights. Numerous international human rights documents formally declare their commitment to protect freedom of conscience. But, what is conscience and how do we know it when we see it? How do we distinguish it from self-interest or fanaticism? And what happens when the concept, often associated with a distinct Christian or liberal history, travels across cultural boundaries? The project will examine the cultural conditions under which claims to conscience are made possible, and the types of claims that are most persuasive when doing so. The project addresses these issues through the comparative analysis of three case studies: British pacifists, Sri Lankan activists, and Soviet dissidents. These case studies have been carefully chosen to provide globally significant, but contrasting examples of contests over the implications of claims to conscience. If claims of conscience are often associated with a specifically liberal and Christian tradition, mid-twentieth century Britain can be said to stand at the centre of that tradition. Sri Lanka represents a particularly fraught post-colonial South Asian counterpoint, wracked by nationalist violence, and influenced by ethical traditions associated with forms of Hinduism and Buddhism. Soviet Russia represents a further contrast, a totalitarian regime, where atheism was the dominant ethical language. Finally, the project will return specifically to international human rights institutions, examining the history of the category of conscience in the UN human rights system. This project will be ground breaking, employing novel methods and analytical insights, in order to producing the first comparative analysis of the cultural and political salience of claims of conscience. In doing so, the research aims to transform our understandings of the limits and potentials of attempts to protect freedom of conscience.

Project acronym ANXIETY & COGNITION
Project How anxiety transforms human cognition: an Affective Neuroscience perspective
Researcher (PI) Gilles Roger Charles Pourtois
Host Institution (HI) UNIVERSITEIT GENT
Summary Anxiety, a state of apprehension or fear, may provoke cognitive or behavioural disorders and eventually lead to serious medical illnesses. The high prevalence of anxiety disorders in our society sharply contrasts with the lack of clear factual knowledge about the corresponding brain mechanisms at the origin of this profound change in the appraisal of the environment. Little is known about how the psychopathological state of anxiety ultimately turns to a medical condition. The core of this proposal is to gain insight in the neural underpinnings of anxiety and disorders related to anxiety using modern human brain-imaging such as scalp EEG and fMRI. I propose to enlighten how anxiety transforms and shapes human cognition and what the neural correlates and time-course of this modulatory effect are. The primary innovation of this project is the systematic use scalp EEG and fMRI in human participants to better understand the neural mechanisms by which anxiety profoundly influences specific cognitive functions, in particular selective attention and decision-making. The goal of this proposal is to precisely determine the exact timing (using scalp EEG), location, size and extent (using fMRI) of anxiety-related modulations on selective attention and decision-making in the human brain. Here I propose to focus on these two specific processes, because they are likely to reveal selective effects of anxiety on human cognition and can thus serve as powerful models to better figure out how anxiety operates in the human brain. Another important aspect of this project is the fact I envision to help bridge the gap in Health Psychology between fundamental research and clinical practice by proposing alternative revalidation strategies for human adult subjects affected by anxiety-related disorders, which could directly exploit the neuro-scientific discoveries generated in this scientific project.

Project Technical and Social Innovations in the Caucasus: between the Eurasian Steppe and the Earliest Cities in the 4th and 3rd millennia BC
Researcher (PI) Svend HANSEN
Host Institution (HI) DEUTSCHES ARCHAOLOGISCHES INSTITUT
Summary This project leads to one of the most dynamic regions in prehistory: the Caucasus of the 4th and early 3rd mill. BC. During this vibrant time, basic innovations emerged, which were crucial until the 19th century: wheel and wagon, copper alloys, the potter's wheel, new breeds of woolly sheep, domestication of the horse, and others. At the same time, massive migrations from the East European steppe during the early 3rd mill. BC changed the European gene pool. The project challenges the still predominant narrative that all technical achievements stemmed from urban centres in Mesopotamia. New studies have created space for alternative hypotheses: possibly it was not the development of new techniques, but instead their adaptation from different 'peripheries' and their re-combination and re-configuration that formed the basis for the success of these 'civilisations'. The Caucasus, linking Mesopotamia to the Eurasia and Europe, is for the first time in the focus of a study on innovation transfer. The study will make a major contribution by investigation of four axial innovations: wheel and wagon, metal alloys, silver metallurgy and woolly sheep. 40 wheels will be analysed by computer tomography and strontium isotopes. Some 300 copper alloys artefacts and 200 silver objects will be examined using mass spectrometry with laser ablation. 400 aDNA genom-wide analyses of humans from burials in the North Caucasus will offer the unique chance of elucidating the role of migrations for the spread of innovations. The pottery in the region, often linked to Mesopotamia, will be studied under technical aspects and is a complementary path to shed light on migration and the transfer of knowledge. Excavations in settlements will allow building up a chronology using 400 AMS 14C analyses. The project is multidisciplinary, making use of the most up-to-date analytical methods. Our long experience and reputation on both sides of the Caucasus is the ideal background for cutting-edge research.

The pottery in the region, often linked to Mesopotamia, will be studied under technical aspects and is a complementary path to shed light on migration and the transfer of knowledge. Excavations in settlements will allow building up a chronology using 400 AMS 14C analyses. The project is multidisciplinary, making use of the most up-to-date analytical methods. Our long experience and reputation on both sides of the Caucasus is the ideal background for cutting-edge research.
Project acronym AYURYOG
Project Medicine, Immortality, Moksha: Entangled Histories of Yoga, Ayurveda and Alchemy in South Asia
Researcher (PI) Dagmar Wujastyk
Summary The project will examine the histories of yoga, ayurveda and rasashastra (Indian alchemy and iatrochemistry) from the tenth century to the present, focussing on the disciplines' health, rejuvenation and longevity practices. The goals of the project are to reveal the entanglements of these historical traditions, and to trace the trajectories of their evolution as components of today's global healthcare and personal development industries. Our hypothesis is that practices aimed at achieving health, rejuvenation and longevity constitute a key area of exchange between the three disciplines, preparing the grounds for a series of important pharmaceutical and technological innovations and also profoundly influencing the discourses of today's medicalized forms of globalized yoga as well as of contemporary institutionalized forms of ayurveda and rasashastra. Drawing upon the primary historical sources of each respective tradition as well as on fieldwork data, the research team will explore the shared terminology, praxis and theory of these three disciplines. We will examine why, when and how health, rejuvenation and longevity practices were employed; how each discipline's discourse and practical applications relates to those of the others; and how past encounters and cross-fertilizations impact on contemporary health-related practices in yogic, ayurvedic and alchemists' milieus. The five-year project will be based at the Department of South Asian, Tibetan and Buddhist Studies at Vienna University and carried out by an international team of 3 post-doctoral researchers. The research will be grounded in the fields of South Asian studies and social history. An international workshop and an international conference will be organized to present and discuss the research results, which will also be published in peer-reviewed journals, an edited volume, and in individual monographs. A project website will provide open access to all research results.

Project acronym BIRTH
Project Births, mothers and babies: prehistoric fertility in the Balkans between 10000 – 5000 BC
Researcher (PI) Sofija Stefanovic
Host Institution (HI) BIOSENSE INSTITUTE - RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN BIOSYSTEMS
Summary The BIRTH project will investigate the key biological and cultural mechanisms affecting fertility rates resulting the Neolithic Demogaphic Transition, the major demographic shift in human evolution. We integrate skeletal markers with micro-nutritional and macro-scaled cultural effects on fertility rates during the Early-Middle Holocene (10000-5000 BC) in the Central Balkans. Human, animal and plant remains, will be analysed using methods from bioarchaeological, forensic, chemical sciences in order to: 1) Investigate variability in the pattern of birth rates (number of pregnancies, interval(s) between them and the duration of the reproductive period) through histological analysis of irregularities in tooth cementum of women; 2) Determine paleoobstetric and neonatal body characteristics, health status and nutrition through analysis of skeletal remains; 3) Determine micronutritional changes during the Early-Middle Holocene through trace element (Zn, Ca and Fe) analysis; 4) Investigate the micro and macronutritional value of prehistoric foodstuffs, through an analysis of animal and plant remains and to compare the nutritional intake in relation to health and fertility; 5) Establish a chronology of the NDT in the Balkans by summed radiocarbon probability distributions; 6) Explore the possible role of culture in driving fertility increases, through analysis of community attitudes to birthing trough investigation of neonate graves and artifact connected to the birthing process. Given that the issues of health and fertility are of utmost importance in the present as they were in the past, the BIRTH project offers new understanding of biocultural mechanisms which led to fertility increase and novel approaches to ancient skeletal heritage, and emphasizes their great potential for modern humanity.

Project acronym BROKEX
Project Brokering China's Extraversion: An Ethnographic Analysis of Transnational Arbitration
Researcher (PI) Heidi Østbø HAUGEN
Host Institution (HI) UNIVERSITETET I OSLO
Summary Chinese global engagements are deepening across sectors and geographic regions. The objective of BROKEX is to fill specific gaps in knowledge about how China's extraversion advances. The project takes an original approach by examining brokers who mediate in transnational fields. It opens the "black box" of China's global integration by moving beyond descriptions of input and output characteristics to elucidate underlying dynamics. The objective will be achieved in two phases. First, the PI and two postdoctoral researchers will carry out ethnographic case studies in the Pearl River Delta, South China, that yield complementary information on the common challenge of brokering across geographic scales: * Connecting low-cost Chinese manufacturing with African markets; * Integrating Chinese academic research with global scientific communities; * Transnational architecture production. The diverse cases offer insights into the mechanisms of brokerage across distinctive sectors. In the second step, we build on the empirical findings and literature to develop brokerage theory. Social scientific research on brokerage commonly uses the morphology of social networks as its starting point, and focuses on how actors positioned at the intersection between groups operate. BROKEX adopts an innovative approach by examining how actors strategically seek to shape network morphologies in order to bridge gaps between groups. By directing theoretical attention towards relationship formation that precedes acts of brokerage, this line of inquiry advances understandings of how and why brokered connections emerge. Ethnographic case studies combined with critical theorization will generate new knowledge about the processes beneath the "rise of China" ─ one of the most consequential socioeconomic developments of our times.

Their obsession with rock and roll music since early high school inspired the band. They began playing on the street and by 1999 they were voted Best New Local Act by readers of the Boston Phoenix.
They recorded their first full-length record in March 2001. It was raw and real. They played with the White Stripes and the Strokes, as well as local Boston garage rockers, Lyres. When they recorded their second record, Moanin', they got to work with Jim Diamond and Greg "Oblivion" Cartwright. John Peel soon discovered them too and had them do a session. This led to their first European tour, which was highly successful.
Mr. Airplane Man played many large tours of America in 2003. In the meantime they were back in Memphis where they recorded their third record, C'mon DJ. The new record came out in January 2004.

All this for one suspect is so X-Files. It really is an interesting and strange situation. At any rate even uf its not aliens or paranormal, you can bet the public will never be given the full story given the hubbub here.
You can bet there'll be an element of the public who wont believe they've gotten the full story. There will always be room for doubt, regardless of how candid the government is.
Which government do you know which is candid? I dont know any.
Well, I worked for the US government for over 43 years, and we were always pretty upfront about things. If I told you which agency you'd never believe me though.
The ones you really have to worry about are the politicians. I don't think they know what the truth is.
My crystal ball says you're an Aerospace Engineer!
Say we had a rocket club back in the 1950's with a military crate as a blockhouse - does that count? Everything back then was 'home made' and we did get a full half mile from some of our launches. Space was not that far away!
If they didn't want a suspect to know they were on his/her trail, why did they make a big show of it with helicopters and evacuations and FBI agents running around? You'd think they'd be a bit more ... subtle. But then, that's probably giving them a lot more credit than they deserve. What they've done is create a lasting suspicion that there's something more sinister going on. Even if they say "nothing to see here, we probably mishandled the security aspect" you're going to see conspiracy theorists ruminating on this one for months or years to come.
I don't for one minute believe what the article states about why it was shut down.
There are only two viable explanations as to why the FBI shut it down.
Suspected terrorist, or foreign country compromised the facility, or alien intervention of some kind.
Either way, it will never be known.
Originally I felt it could not have had anything to do with alien intervention, but the more I read about what has been made public, the more I feel the FBI is hiding something.
If it were some terrorist organization, that would have been made public, regardless of what was involved.
Any time something involving terrorism is suspected in this country, it always makes it's way to the media.
No, something happened that was important enough to bring out the FBI, and their unusual secrecy is something that needs to be explored further.
Or it was all a diversion from what was really going on somewhere else in the state.


"Tribal loyalties have riven the world of personal computing since Bill Gates came late on the scene and took every IBM-compatible user with him. A triumph of business manoeuvring, a triumph of opportunism, a triumph of financial acumen, a triumph of all kinds of things except computer science or technological advancement, in the opinion of people like me at least. Every time Windows had a rebirth I would get hold of it and buy a new machine to run it on believing that they must now have got things right and finally created an operating environment that could excite, impress and enthral me. But each time their system got more ham-fisted, more insulting and more indifferent to the pleasures and interests of the consumer."

Looked this morning after parking for 17 hours. Nope, it started at 6500. Garage temperature was 91. Let's see what happens in winter otherwise a trip to the dealer?
yea mine didn't this morning either. We were in the 70's. I have seen it before and seen it when it switched from 5500 to 6500.
How easy it is to clean frameless windows, its like a dream.
I like that the radio stays on when you turn the car off so I can finish hearing what I was listening to.
And that you can turn the radio on even if the ignition/accessory position is not on. Just hit the power button to the radio when the car is off, and it will turn on.
Don't think I've ever used that feature! Thanks for the heads up.
One of the little things I miss is the retractable MMI screen. Had it in my 2016 A6, always thought it was cool.
I had the same car, hate that retractable MMI. it got stuck a few times in the winter, its just another thing waiting to break.
The light up door sills are a nice touch.
So many things, but I'll second how the side bolsters inflate to hug you when you turn the beast on.  Massage seats could be "stronger" at Max setrise but dig them, and love the sunroof screen shade so you can have it open without getting torched.


The drainage of hydrocarbon storage tanks can be a highly random and potentially dangerous operation if it is not automated. This process is traditionally carried out via an operator, who manually opens the drain valves and carries out visual checks to observe the water/oil change. When the operator sees oil in the tank, he/she closes the valve. This method, which requires the presence of an operator in the ATEX zone (potential risks), produces a highly uncertain result.
When the crude oil is decanted into the tanks, the water contained in the hydrocarbon is pushed to the bottom of the tank (because it is denser than oil). Before the refining process, it is therefore necessary to drain these tanks to collect the accumulated water in order to avoid polluting the hydrocarbon.
Our system does this using an oil-water interface detector (Minisonic ISD) connected to a control room. When the Minisonic ISD detects a change in the product (mix of oil and water, emulsion that characterises the end of the presence of water in the tank), the detector sends a signal to the control room using one of the available protocols on the device (4-20 mA, RS 232, or RS 485, etc.). This signal orders the valve to be closed, which stops the hydrocarbon from being released (loss of product) and protects against the risk of an accidental oil spill.
The water, evacuated via the drain at the bottom, will then be sent to the treatment plant.
Available with standard metal casing or explosion-proof box. Clamp-on probes adapted to detect the interface (SXN 1524 / SXN 1679 / SXN 1691).
The interface detector sends at least three ultrasound waves per second: when more than 3% oil is observed in the water, the speed of the sound in the liquid is affected, allowing the device to detect the interface.


BEIJING, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- The fact that China has accomplished in the past 40 years of reform and opening up what had taken the Western industrialized countries several hundreds of years to achieve is truly a miracle in human history.
But this is not the end of the story.
"China's door of opening up will not be closed and will only open even wider," Chinese leadership pledged to the world. More changes brought by further opening-up measures are taking place around the country. Take a look at what Xinhua reporters have found when taking a fact-finding tour in Shanghai, Henan and Shaanxi.
Lisa Liu, marketing director of Festo (China) Ltd, a German automation technology manufacturer, believes the company's best days in China are yet to come.
Since it entered the Chinese market in the 1980s, Festo has secured its position as a leading provider of smart manufacturing solutions in the world's manufacturing powerhouse.
"You could never imagine how eager Chinese industries are for smart production plans we provide, as they are craving industrial upgrading" Liu told Xinhua.
Her confidence is underpinned by the country's new opening-up policy, which allows companies in the pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ) to have easier access to more targeted customs services.
Festo (China) Ltd, based in the Shanghai FTZ, is one of the first batches of foreign-funded companies that benefit from China's new policy, which enables Festo to operate at a lower cost with higher efficiency.
Boosted by the new policy, it plans to expand its Asia-Pacific logistic center and customized production center in Shanghai.
Pilot FTZs have become pioneers in promoting the country's reform and opening-up. The first FTZ was established in Shanghai in 2013 to blaze the trail, followed by 11 more across the country, from coastal provinces such as Fujian and Guangdong to inland provinces including as Shaanxi and Sichuan.
Shanghai FTZ in Pudong published the country's first negative list with items which were off limits for foreign investment. The negative list has gradually been shortened as the opening-up drive expands, with items cut from 190 to 48.
Forty years ago when China began to embrace reform and opening up, it created economic development zones to lure foreign investments.
Compared with economic development zones, pilot FTZ aims to achieve "mutual benefit" and enable the country to participate in global economic cooperation and competition at a higher level, Luo Qinghe, a professor with the Shenzhen University, wrote in a research paper.
Building pilot FTZs was a strategic move to deepen overall reform and widen opening up, and the country must further capitalize on the role of pilot zones as experimental fields of reform and opening-up, according to the Chinese government.
In addition to FTZs, cross-border e-commerce pilot zones have become a new anchor of opening up and reform, as Chinese consumers have become increasingly drawn to foreign brands via e-commerce platforms.
In the Zhengzhou cross-border e-commerce pilot bonded zone, a new customs model has been in practice since May 2013 to facilitate cross-border e-commerce.
Before consumers place the order, imported merchandise has been shipped to a domestic bonded center, gone through quarantine procedures and put into customs files.
After consumers place the order, the cross-border e-commerce platform will inform the customs authority who will complete clearance and inspection of the merchandise and then release the goods to customers.
Such bonded zones play a key role in shortening the time of receiving products for consumers, said Xu Ping, president of the Henan Bonded Group that runs the Zhengzhou cross-border e-commerce pilot bonded zone.
Thanks to favorable government policies, Henan, an inland province, has become a hot spot of opening up and reform, said Sun Jinglin, deputy head of the Henan Provincial Commerce Department.
Figures from the General Administration of Customs show that between January and October 2018, retail imports of cross-border e-commerce reached 67.2 billion yuan (about 9.7 billion U.S. dollars), up 53.7 percent year-on-year.
Boosting cross-border e-commerce will promote foreign trade, drive consumption and create jobs, according to Chinee Premier Li Keqiang.
The government must take a holistic approach and exercise prudent yet accommodative regulation to fully unleash the growth potential of cross-border e-commerce, he said.
The Chinese government has unveiled a new policy loosening cross-border e-commerce trade regulation. No requirements of licensing, registration or record-filing for first-time imports shall apply to the retail imports through cross-border e-commerce platforms. Instead, these goods will receive more relaxed regulation as imports for personal use.
Moreover, implementation of this policy will be extended from the 15 cities such as Hangzhou to another 22 cities such as Beijing, which have just established comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zones.
China-Europe freight trains made 6,363 trips in 2018, surging 73 percent from 2017, according to the China Railway Corporation.
The freight service, a crucial part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), began operation in March 2011. Over the years, trains have rumbled along the route, taking garments, auto parts, chemicals and other Chinese goods to European consumers, while bringing back European food, machinery, equipment and timber.
Numbers are changing fast on the electronic screen in the monitoring and control center of the China-Europe freight train located in Xi'an International Trade and Logistics Park. The Beidou navigation system is helping track the trains in terms of temperature, humidity and the freight on board.
"The China-Europe freight trains and the BRI are so important for us," said Liu Keqiang, deputy general manager of Shaanxi Automobile Group Holding Ltd.
Thanks to them, the company has exported more than 150,000 vehicles over the years. In 2018, 12,757 units were exported, including 5,666 units to the Asia-Pacific region, central Asia and the Middle East.
China is the biggest exporter of goods in the world, contributing 30 percent of global growth, said Stephen Perry, Chairman of Britain's 48 Group Club.

Data taking with KM3NeT
19 August 2019 – Since this spring, the KM3NeT telescopes are routinely operating with five detection units: four at the ORCA site, one at the ARCA site. First data results have been reported on the international conferences and workshops.
For the ORCA detector, off shore the French Provencal coast, four units were installed and connected to the seabed network. An earlier deployed unit was damaged during inspection and had to be recovered for repair in the labs of the Collaboration. It will be re-deployed in a next sea campaign. Also during the Spring-campaigns, three autonomous acoustic beacons were deployed at the seabed in the vicinity of the ORCA array. They are used for acoustic positioning of the optical modules in the detection units that move with the slowly varying deep sea currents. Sea campaigns for further expansion of the ORCA detector are scheduled after the summer break.
Offshore Sicily at the site of ARCA, after a fix of the seabed network, a detection unit that was deployed three years ago, could be revived and is again taking data since. Currently, the seabed network is being re-designed to allow for the extension of the ARCA detector to more than 200 detector units. The successful though temporary fix of the existing network makes connection of more detection units possible, while waiting for the implementation of the upgraded network.
Differences between ARCA and ORCA
The technology used for the ARCA and ORCA detectors is almost identical, but the difference in volume and height of the detectors and the density of optical modules in the detectors are strikingly different. When finished, the volume of ARCA will be more than 100 times larger then that of ORCA. ARCA will have a volume of about 1 Gton and ORCA 'only' about 8 Mton, while the number of optical modules in ARCA will only be twice that of ORCA: about 4000 vs about 2000. Consequently, module density in ORCA will be about five times larger than that in ARCA. How is that achieved? In both detectors, eighteen optical modules are attached to each vertical detection unit. In ARCA, the distance between the lowest and the highest module is about 600. In ORCA this is about 150 m. Also the horizontal spacing between detection units is different: about 90 m in ARCA vs about 20 m in ORCA. Although, ARCA will have only twice the number of detection units, its foot print on the sea bed is much larger that that of ORCA.
The geometrical differences reflect the main scientific purpose for which the detectors will be used. These are also visible in the first character of their names: ARCA stands for 'Astroparticle Research with Cosmics in the Abyss'. The sparsely instrumented detector is optimised for the detection of high-energy cosmic neutrinos from distant sources in the Universe. ORCA is the acronym for 'Oscillation Research with Cosmics in the Abyss'. The more densily instrumented detector is optimised to measure lower energy neutrinos, thus providing data for the study of neutrinos oscillating between the three known neutrino flavours. The words 'in the Abyss' refer to the locations of the detectors several kilometres deep in the Mediterranean Sea.

When you first get into business, the primary focus is on growing profits and expanding. You want to establish yourself. But, what about savings? What happens if your business hits a rough patch? How do you survive? Insurance and savings is your safety net. Here's how to protect yourself, and your livelihood.
When you're self-employed, there are many types of insurance you should consider. Some of that insurance is mandatory, while some of it is optional. For example, if you employ anyone outside of close family, you must have employer's liability insurance. This type of insurance covers you if an employee makes a claim against you.
Let's say an employee breaks her arm while on the job. She may come to you to help her pay your medical bills. But, maybe you believe that she was acting in a way that caused the accident and that you shouldn't be held liable.
She sues you. You need to defend yourself. This is what the insurance will cover.
Other useful covers include product liability, professional indemnity insurance, and stock cover, office equipment and contents cover, and turnover protection.
Before you get too excited about starting a business, you should consult with a lawyer. According to Slater and Gordon, an employee suing you is one of the biggest threats to the stability of your company.
A single slip and fall could put your company in jeopardy. And, if you don't have representation, you're at a serious disadvantage. Having a company lawyer on retainer is something you're going to want, even if you're a small operation.
It's not just your employees either. Customers could sue you if a product is defective or if someone doesn't like the advice you gave them.
A lawyer can also help you navigate the tax laws in the UK and save you money.
Looking to save money? Life insurance with value plans could potentially decrease the amount of tax you pay because, while income used to pay premiums is taxed, the money inside the policy is not. And, the money can be used to grow and expand your business without paying tax on the interest earned in the policy.
Speak with a life insurance agent about setting up a high cash value policy. These policies typically have a high value in the early years of the policy, are sometimes blended with convertible term insurance to reduce the cost of insurance, and always emphasise the living benefits of the contract over the death benefits.
Save money in your business by claiming use of your main residence if you use it as an office. You can also write down many business expenses, and some insurances, from your income, lowering the amount of takings subject to taxation.
Keep records of your self-employed business for at least 6 years after the tax year you filed.
Make sure you always declare the income you make, even when you don't make a profit in your business.
Thomas Sinclare has held several senior positions in relation to tax planning. He is always delighted to share his ideas and insights with others online. His thoughts and tips on this complex subject have appeared on a variety of different online resources.

A mitologia hitita é o conjunto das crenças e práticas religiosas dos hititas, povo que viveu na Anatólia (atualmente parte da Turquia) entre o final do  ou início do  e o início do  A maioria das narrativas que incorporam a mitologia hitita está perdida e os elementos que poderiam dar uma visão equilibrada da religião hitita não se encontram nas tábuas recuperadas na capital hitita, Hatusa, e em outros sítios hititas. Consequentemente, "não existem escrituras canônicas, dissertações, discursos teológicos ou auxílios à devoção privada". Alguns documentos religiosos faziam parte do corpus no qual os jovens escribas foram treinados, e sobreviveram. A maioria deles datam das últimas décadas antes da queima final dos locais. Os escribas da administração real, alguns de cujos arquivos sobreviveram, eram uma burocracia, organizando e mantendo responsabilidades reais em áreas que poderiam ser consideradas parte da religião nos tempos atuais: organização do templo, administração do culto e relatórios de adivinhos, compõem o corpo principal dos textos sobreviventes.

A compreensão da mitologia hitita depende da leitura de gravações em pedra que sobreviveram até os dias de hoje, decifrando-se a iconologia representada em selos de pedra e interpretando-se a planta dos templos. Além disso, há algumas imagens de divindades. Os hititas adoravam seus deuses através das pedras Huasi, que representam divindades e eram tratadas como objetos sagrados. Deuses eram, muitas vezes, representados sentados sobre as costas dos seus animais respectivos, ou eram representados em sua forma animal.

Visão

Embora fortemente influenciada pela mitologia mesopotâmica, a religião dos hititas e dos luvitas continua a ter elementos claramente indo-europeus, como por exemplo Tarunte, deus do trovão, e seu conflito com a serpente Illuyanka, que se assemelha, entre outras coisas, ao conflito entre Indra e a serpente Vrtra, na mitologia indo-ariana.

Tarunte tinha um filho, Telepinu, e uma filha, Inara - uma deusa protetora (dLAMMA) envolvida com o festival da primavera, Puruli. Ishara é a deusa do juramento.

Kumarbi é o pai de Tarunte, e seu papel na Canção de Kumarbi lembra o de Cronos na Teogonia, de Hesíodo. Ullikummi é um monstro de pedra, filho de Kumarbi, reminiscente do Tifão, de Hesíodo.

O deus luvita do clima e do relâmpago, Piassassa, pode ter sido a origem do Pégaso grego. Descrições de animais híbridos, como hipogrifos e quimeras, são típicas da arte anatólica do período.

A cidade de Arinna, cuja localização ainda está por ser determinada com exatidão, era tida como provável centro de culto daquele povo, seguramente era o principal centro dedicado à principal deusa solar dos hititas, conhecida como dUTU URUArinna, "deusa do sol de Arinna".

Os hititas veneravam seus deuses frequentemente através das pedras Huwasi, que representavam as divindades e eram tratadas como objetos sagrados.

A Gainsborough chip shop had a surprise customer when Snooker world champion Steve Davis popped in for his dinner.
The six times world champion was in Gainsborough for an Exhibition and Trick shot event at The United Services Club in Bridge Street, organised by Middie's Fish and Chips owner, Tony Wallace.
After getting stuck in traffic on his way to the event Steve asked where he could find a good fish and chip shop and Tony was only happy to oblige and invited him along to Middie's Fish and Chips in Trinity Street.
Tony said: "We weren't expecting him but we were hoping he might pop in.
"I'd never met him before but I've always been a fan of snooker.
"He must have enjoyed as he ate the lot. But he did say there were too many chips.
"And he apologised to the customers who were waiting in the queue as he got his order.
"He was a really nice guy.
"The photograph of us will be taking pride of place in the shop.
Steve went on to the United Services Club to play eight frames against local league players and a couple of auction/raffle winners.
MC duties were handled by ex-professional player was Ian McCulloch, guest referee was Brendan Moore who was warming up for his duties at the World Championships at Sheffield's Crucible and Jade Slusarczyk of Sky Sports walked on each challenger.
At the moment Davis is also on commentary duties with the BBC at the World's so he was on fine form with plenty of banter and some of the old magic on display.
Rounding the evening off with several trick shots, Steve was given a standing ovation at The United Services Club venue.


United States President Donald Trump on Thursday hinted at the possibility of the release of three American hostages, who were detained in North Korea. In a tweet, President Trump wrote, "As everybody is aware, the past Administration has long been asking for three hostages to be released from a North Korean Labor camp, but to no avail. Stay tuned!" The three American citizens are - Kim Hak-song, Tony Kim and Kim Dong-chul. They were accused of espionage or doing "hostile acts" against North Korea.

Die Vinnenberger Wallfahrt ist eine der ältesten Marienwallfahrten im Bistum Münster zum Vinnenberger Gnadenbild. Sie wurde von der Äbtissin Anna Maria Plönies am Ende des Dreißigjährigen Krieges gestiftet und findet an Mariä Geburt (8. September) statt.

Geschichte
Durch den Dreißigjährigen Krieg geriet das Kloster Vinnenberg in schwere finanzielle Bedrängnis. Auf Anfrage der Äbtissin Anna Maria Plönies ob es dem Kloster gestattet sei, eine Prozession an Mariä Geburt (8. September) abzuhalten, ließ Fürstbischof Christoph Bernhard von Galen am 26. August 1654 durch seinen Generalvikar der Äbtissin folgendes kundtun:

Diese abgehaltene Prozession zog von der Kirche in einer Kapelle im Klostergarten und von da aus zu weiteren Segensaltären auf Bauernhöfen in der Nachbarschaft. Die regelmäßige Wallfahrt wurde erst für einige Jahrzehnte unterbrochen, als das Kloster 1810 aufgelöst und das Gnadenbild ins benachbarte Füchtorf gebracht wurde. 1827 schenkte Friedrich Wilhelm III. der Gemeinde Milte das Kloster Vinnenberg. Sofort begann die Gemeinde Milte das Kloster zu renovieren und bemühte sich energisch um die Rückgabe des Gnadenbildes von Füchtorf. Als endlich 1831 das Gnadenbild zurückkehren konnte belebte sich die Wallfahrt zunächst zaghaft. Als am Ende des Kulturkampfes 1898 Benediktinerinnen vom Heiligsten Sakrament das Kloster Vinnenberg bezogen, fördere dies Wallfahrt enorm. In der Zeit des Laizismus des Dritten Reiches war es dem Bischof Clemens August Graf von Galen zu verdanken, dass die Wallfahrt nach Vinnenberg, wie auch die Telgter Wallfahrt nicht unterging. Aus diesem Grund nahm er auch das Gnadenbild 1941 bei sich auf. Die traditionelle Wallfahrt zum Gnadenbild nach Vinnenberg ist zu Patrozinium am Fest Mariä Geburt, am 8. September. Aber auch durch das Jahr kommen vereinzelte Gruppen nach Vinnenberg. Beliebt ist die Wallfahrt per Fahrrad, oder per Rollschuhe. Aber auch die umliegenden Pfarrgemeinden pilgern regelmäßig nach Vinnenberg; so unternimmt die Pfarrgemeinde Füchtorf einmal im Jahr eine Wallfahrt zum sechs Kilometer entfernten Gnadenbild nach Vinnenberg. Auch nach der Aufgabe des Klosters durch die Benediktinerinnen im Jahr 2005 stellt die "Pflege der Wallfahrt und des Pilgerns" im Bereich der religiösen Kultur eine von vier Säulen des Klosters als Bildungs- und Exerzitienhaus dar.

Q: Running commands on remote server return result to local to process and run another command on remote server I am finding it very difficult to wrap my head round this.
I am trying to accomplish something very simple which is to periodically copy files from one linux system to another through a script on local machine.
The remote system is very limited on memory and as such doesn't support cron or many of the common libraries. Only way is to run a script forever which I'd rather not do. It does have scp on it and ssh to connect to it
I want to ssh from my local machine to remote machine, run find command for all files less than a day old.
I want to then use this result and process it in the form of
scp someone@somewhere.com:"file1.sh file2.txt file3.jpg" /destination

destination being local location. It would be even better if I could rename the file to include full path of file as its name on the destination folder.
Edit 1:
Some progress I used the following command to get a list of files that I want to copy
ssh root@192.168.0.3 'cd /tmp && find -name *.mp4 -mtime -1'

I do have to manually enter password though so this can run as part of a script

A: SSH without typing passwords
To perform the transfer without entering a password, you have to decide which machine should trust the other. If the two hosts are SRC (host with the files) and DEST (host where the copies will go), then either SRC must trust DEST, or DEST must trust SRC (or both!).
Let's say that SRC will trust DEST but we don't want DEST to trust SRC.
To connect and run the copy without user interaction, you will have to store on DEST the equivalent of an unencrypted password. For obvious reasons, this is not a good idea but there are ways to minimise the risk.
One option is to install a command like sshpass but then you really will need to leave the unencrypted password lying around, so I recommend not using this method unless you really have to.
A better method is to set up public-key authentication between the two machines. Normally with this, you generate a private key which is stored encrypted. You type a passphrase to unlock it when you wish to use it, or you unlock it once and load it into a program like ssh-agent. The latter is probably the preferrable approach (the key is stored unencrypted in memory but an attacker has to have already obtained root access in order to make use of it. Clearly someone with root access could just record you typing in your password).
We can avoid the initial passphrase entry by storing the private key unencrypted. If we don't take special precautions, obviously having a private key stored unencrypted on DEST is equivalent to leaving the password to SRC lying around. This is bad. To minimise the risk, we can configure SRC so that it doesn't allow DEST to connect and run arbitrary commands. We can specify that only one command (let's call it COMMAND) is to be allowed. If we are careful, this mitigates the risks somewhat.
Configuring OpenSSH
So, we've decided to configure DEST to be able to run COMMAND on SRC without any password entry. As we are on linux, we are probably using openssh. Here's a way to set things up:

*

*create key pair on DEST:

dest:~$ cd ~/.ssh
dest:~/.ssh$ ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa -N '' -f src-cmd

*copy public key to SRC, limiting use to a particular command:

dest:~/.ssh$ ( echo -n 'command="/home/usr/mkfilelist" '; cat src-cmd.pub ) |\
        ssh usr@src 'mkdir -p .ssh; cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

*Now it is possible from DEST to run the command /home/usr/mkfilelist on SRC (if it exists!) without being asked for a password:

dest$ ssh usr@src -i ~/.ssh/src-cmd

For even more security, consider using from=DEST,command=... so that only connections from DEST are allowed. See: authorized_keys(5) for the gory details.
Collecting the files
Now we need to write /home/usr/mkfilelist.
These days, rsync is a good program for synchronising files between two sets of folders but I'm going to assume SRC provides that staple of historical UNIX: cpio!
cpio reads a list of filenames on stdin and outputs an "archive", or reads an "archive" and creates the files. This will work very well with your find command:
#!/bin/bash

cd /PATH/TO/SRCFILES
find . -mtime -1 -name '*.mp4' -type f -print | cpio -o

The important thing to note is that this will spew the "archive" to stdout (so don't try running it unless you redirect into a file). Also note that you should ensure that find does not output any filepaths that start with / (hence the cd and use of .).
Modify your find criteria to taste and save as /home/usr/mkfilelist on SRC.
Make it executable (chmod +x /home/usr/mkfilelist).
Putting it all together
Now we can take these pieces and put together a script you can run from cron on DEST:
#!/bin/bash

cd /PATH/TO/DESTFILE
ssh usr@src -i ~/.ssh/src-cmd | cpio -i

This connects up to SRC, causing the "archive" to be generated. This is piped into a cpio running in an appropriate folder on DEST which extracts the files.
