A combination of pipelines and trucks deliver economic activity to an east-central Alberta hub
By Dale Lunan
Many regions across Alberta have felt the impact of the crude oil price collapse since 2014, but many regions have also responded by continuing to build strong investment opportunities.
The Town of Hardisty is a good example of that. In this community of 554 people, it's the tank farms and crude oil terminals that serve as the backbone of economic activity and job creation.
Enbridge and Gibson Energy are the major operators of tank storage in this prairie landscape of east-central Alberta, about 200 kilometres southeast of Edmonton.
No less than 10 pipelines bring crude oil into Hardisty, while four others send it out to markets across Canada and the United States. Some of those inbound pipelines originate in the oil sands region near Fort McMurray, more than 500 kilometres away in northeast Alberta.
"There are four pipelines that go straight into Hardisty from Fort McMurray and any increased volumes of oil moving on those pipelines helps not only Hardisty but the whole region," says Arnold Hanson, chair of Battle River Alliance for Economic Development (BRAED), noting that increased inflows of crude also creates inflows of jobs with the tank farm operators. Gibson Energy, for example, hires a number of contract operators to run their tanker-trailers in support of the terminal operations.
Gibson is aggressively expanding those terminal operations at Hardisty as oil sands production continues to grow, despite the lower crude prices. Its latest project is the addition of three new tanks, which will add 1.1 million barrels of storage capacity. Two of the tanks, each 300,000 barrels, are underpinned by a long-term, fixed-fee contract with a large oil sands producer. The third tank, at 500,000 barrels, will service terminal operation needs.
"Our Hardisty terminal continues to demonstrate its commercial competitiveness and this contract affirms the ongoing demand for our strategic storage infrastructure in support of incremental oil sands brownfield development," Gibson president Steve Spaulding said in a statement.
The terminals operated by Gibson Energy, Enbridge, TransCanada and others help put Hardisty on the map.
"When tanks are being added, we'll usually see an influx of about 100 workers over the course of the project," says Sandy Otto, chief administrative officer for the Town of Hardisty. "And big projects, like when Enbridge added 19 tanks over three years or so, pushed our shadow population to 1,200."
"There are four pipelines that go straight into Hardisty from Fort McMurray and any increased volumes of oil moving on those pipelines helps not only Hardisty but the whole region."
– Arnold Hanson, chair of Battle River Alliance for Economic Development
Those projects add an economic boost to the entire town, with some workers staying at hotels and campgrounds, others at an Enbridge-built work camp in town, and all of them supporting local businesses for the duration of the project.
Although there are 10 pipelines bringing oil to the crude oil terminals at Hardisty, trucks are still an important part of the supply chain. Photo courtesy: Husky Energy
Ben Brunnen, vice-president of oil sands for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, says oil sands development will continue to contribute to Alberta's economy over the next several years, with production expected to hit 3.7 million barrels per day by 2030 from about 2.4 million barrels per day today.
"We will see growth, and a lot of that growth is coming because of existing investments in the oil sands," he says. "We will see production growth from long lead time mining projects, but we will also see some additional investment in SAGD [steam-assisted gravity drainage] areas where they are stepping out production of a known reservoir."
All of that oil sands investment, he says, trickles down throughout the province — an estimated 20,000 Alberta companies form part of the supply chain — and helps economic regions like BRAED and communities like Hardisty.
"One of the biggest drivers of activity right now is the trucking industry, because most of the oil produced around here is hauled to Hardisty and the tank farms there by truck," says BRAED's Hanson. "That's a big thing because it spills o into mechanical services and even some soft custom services and our region needs that."

Hima Das Wants To Be The Fastest And There's No Reason Why She Cannot Win Gold At 2020 Olympics
1.6 K Shares
Abdul GaniUpdated on Sep 09, 2018, 13:27 IST
A day after getting a hero's welcome in the city on return from the Asian Games with three medals, track sensation Hima Das said her next challenge is to compete with all the 51 sprinters around the world who have clocked faster speeds than her.
Speaking at a press conference inside the premises of the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Hima said her target will remain what it has always been — improving her personal timing.
"There are 51 runners in the world who run faster than I do. So I will have to work harder to improve my timing to compete with them in the upcoming international championships, especially the Olympics. The biggest challenge of my career has always been to improve my timing and it will always be so," Hima said.
On being asked about her inspirations, Hima mentioned her father Ranjit Das, footballer Lionel Messi and cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. "Besides my father, who used to be a footballer at the local level, it is Messi for whom I started to play football. I love Messi. I also derive inspiration from the God of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar," she said.
Appreciating the state government's sports policy which provides financial support to athletes, she said, "I'm not comparing it with cricketers who get huge money. But getting some financial benefits do motivate players, especially athletes. I appreciate this move by the state government. A state like Haryana has been producing more and more players because of such motivations. At the same time, we the players also need to work hard to achieve our goals."
Hima added that she had been inspired and overwhelmed to see the number of people who had taken to the streets to welcome her home on Friday.
Hailing from a farmer's family in Kandhulimari village from Nagaon's Dhing, Hima has already scripted history for Indian athletics by winning gold in the World Youth Championships in Finland, getting a 6th place finish in the Commonwealth Games and winning gold in the recently held Asian Games.

Launching a massive game like Battlefield V is equally exciting as it is challenging. Our teams have worked incredibly hard to get Battlefield V to a playable state that's rewarding and smooth.
However, some bugs and issues may have made it into a shipped build, and there may be some that crop up that we didn't catch. The beauty of thriving community and a live game means that when the two work together it results in the quick acknowledgement of issues, and hopefully hasty resolutions of them.
If you've experienced an issue in Battlefield V, use the following guide to help you know where to go to get help or report it to our DICE developers.
What do I do if I've experienced an issue in Battlefield V?

We are currently looking into further improvements to TTK and TTD.
Platoon tag doesn't appear in game chat near User's name.
When squad spawning into a tank, ending up in the top turret position, sometimes you'll end up with an incorrect representation of your weapon and arms (they don't follow your aim). Shooting still works fine, but visually it looks off.
Re-supply positions are too close to the infantry combat area, they will be moved to the edge of the flight radius.
Re-supply time is instant when flying through the re-supply position, combined with the above players can make loops bombing the field. The Beta had a reload, but it was broken and we addressed it in feedback by eliminating it entirely. It was necessary to balance and we will fix it and reinstate the reload timer since simply flying to the re-supply point has proven inadequate to address the frequency issue.
Flak damage vs. bombers should be increased. Bombers have a reduced Flak damage, making them harder to take down due to them being bigger and easier targets. Unfortunately this reduction is simply too much, so we will increase the damage Flak does to the bomber classes. Feedback is clear that fighters are already plenty vulnerable to Flak, and no change is currently needed to those planes. Additionally we will fix some bugs with Flak that caused bombers flying directly away from a Flak to be invulnerable to the flak damage. Since this is a combined effect we are being careful not to over buff flak vs bombers, since they will take damage in a more consistent manner with the bug fix.
Restrict plane spawning in beginning of round to prevent an immediate bombing of the clumped up group of players in their scripted spawn.
Status: Fixes coming in an upcoming update.
Balance rockets, less tank damage, less AoE to require them to be the precision weapons we intended. We believe that bombs themselves are in a good spot, not needing any emergency fixes. We will monitor the situation and evaluate additional changes.

Q: Getting all interfaces of a C# class in Visual Studio Is there a way to get a list of all interfaces of a C# class in the Visual Studio UI without digging through the superclass chain step by step? If not even a list on MSDN would be useful.

King Charles III, the new monarch
At the moment the Queen died, the throne passed immediately and without ceremony to the heir, Charles, the former Prince of Wales.
But there are a number of practical - and traditional - steps which he must go through to be crowned King.
What will he be called?
He will be known as King Charles III.
That was the first decision of the new king's reign. He could have chosen from any of his four names - Charles Philip Arthur George.
He is not the only one who faces a change of title. Prince William and his wife Catherine are now titled Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge, and the king has conferred on them the title of Prince and Princess of Wales.
There is also a new title for Charles' wife, Camilla, who becomes the Queen Consort - consort is the term used for the spouse of the monarch.
Formal ceremonies
Charles will be officially proclaimed King on Saturday. This will happen at St James's Palace in London, in front of a ceremonial body known as the Accession Council.
This is made up of members of the Privy Council - a group of senior MPs, past and present, and peers - as well as some senior civil servants, Commonwealth high commissioners, and the Lord Mayor of London.
More than 700 people are entitled in theory to attend, but given the short notice, the actual number is likely to be far fewer. At the last Accession Council in 1952, about 200 attended.
At the meeting, the death of Queen Elizabeth will be announced by the Lord President of the Privy Council (currently Penny Mordaunt MP), and a proclamation will be read aloud.
The wording of the proclamation can change, but it has traditionally been a series of prayers and pledges, commending the previous monarch and pledging support for the new one.
This proclamation is then signed by a number of senior figures including the prime minister, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Lord Chancellor.
As with all these ceremonies, there will be attention paid to what might have been altered, added or updated, as a sign of a new era.
The King's first declaration
The king will then attend a second meeting of the Accession Council, along with the Privy Council. This is not a "swearing in" at the start of a British monarch's reign, in the style of some other heads of state, such as the President of the US. Instead there is a declaration made by the new King and - in line with a tradition dating from the early 18th Century - he will make an oath to preserve the Church of Scotland.
After a fanfare of trumpeters, a public proclamation will be made declaring Charles as the new King. This will be made from a balcony above Friary Court in St James's Palace, by an official known as the Garter King of Arms.
Queen Elizabeth II crowned her son Charles as Prince of Wales in 1969
He will call: "God save the King", and for the first time since 1952, the national anthem will be played with the words "God Save the King".
Gun salutes will be fired in Hyde Park, the Tower of London and from naval ships, and the proclamation announcing Charles as the King will be read in in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast.
The coronation
The symbolic high point of the accession will be the coronation, when Charles is formally crowned. Because of the preparation needed, the coronation is not likely to happen very soon after Charles's accession - Queen Elizabeth succeeded to the throne in February 1952, but was not crowned until June 1953.
For the past 900 years the coronation has been held in Westminster Abbey - William the Conqueror was the first monarch to be crowned there, and Charles will be the 40th.
It is an Anglican religious service, carried out by the Archbishop of Canterbury. At the climax of the ceremony, he will place St Edward's Crown on Charles's head - a solid gold crown, dating from 1661.
This is the centrepiece of the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London, and is only worn by the monarch at the moment of coronation itself (not least because it weighs a hefty 2.23kg - almost 5lbs).
Unlike royal weddings, the coronation is a state occasion - the government pays for it, and ultimately decides the guest list.
There will be music, readings and the ritual of anointing the new monarch, using oils of orange, roses, cinnamon, musk and ambergris.
The new King will take the coronation oath in front of the watching world. During this elaborate ceremony he will receive the orb and sceptre as symbols of his new role and the Archbishop of Canterbury will place the solid gold crown on his head.
Head of the Commonwealth
Charles has become head of the Commonwealth, an association of 56 independent countries and 2.4 billion people. For 14 of these countries, as well as the UK, the King is head of state.
These countries, known as the Commonwealth realms, are: Australia, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea, St Christopher and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, New Zealand, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu.

Government takes away Rs 29,000 crore of Air India's debt to clean its balance sheet
Anu Sharma
@awnusharma
The government has taken away Rs 29,000 crore of Air India's massive debt burden of Rs 55,000 crore to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) in an attempt to clean its balance sheet, said Rajiv Nayan Choubey, secretary, civil aviation ministry.
"We are providing a partial but significant relief to Air India," Chaubey told reporters on Thursday.
In September, CNBC-TV18 had reported quoting sources that the government has decided to transfer Rs 29,464 crore of Air India's debt to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to clean up the distressed carrier's balance sheet.
Choubey said that the debt taken up by the government will be serviced by sale proceeds from the auction of non-core real estate properties of Air India.
Since the transfer of debt will need restructuring of loans, the carrier has to be in discussions with the lenders for a smooth transition. However, Choubey added that in case the restructuring exercise faces hurdles, the government may look at asking the special purpose vehicle to raise money by monetisation of non-core assets and other means to pay off lenders.
The divestment of the ground handling arm, Air India Air Transport Services Ltd, will be done on behalf of the special purpose vehicle, the Air India Asset Holding Company, and it will be soon transferred to that, he said.
Choubey also added that the aviation ministry has asked Air India to undertake measures to increase savings and as a result, revenue enhancement and cost-cutting measures are likely to result in savings of nearly Rs 2,000 crore per year.
The measures can be seen as an attempt to make the airline attractive for investors as the government has consistently said that it remains committed to divestment of the carrier.
The government had failed to receive even a single expression of interest during the divestment process initiated on March 28, under which 76 percent stake in Air India was at stake.
The government has been infusing equity into the carrier since 2012 in order to help the airline pay all government-guaranteed aircraft loans and interest.
At the same time, a financial restructuring plan was also implemented under which high-cost working capital loans were converted into long-term debt, carrying lesser rates of interest.
Under a turnaround plan approved in 2012, the airline was required to generate Rs 5,000 crore over a period of 10 years starting March 2012 by monetising its assets.
The turnaround plan includes budgetary support amounting to Rs 30,231 crore spread over 10 years till March 2021 and equity support for payment of principal or interest of non-convertible debentures.

The first sketch is in my standard sketchbook size, and it seemed like an easy exercise in camera angles. But he now looks very squat. The foreshortening doesn't quite work. My thunder god is a Tolkein dwarf. Also, that head is a tad simian.
I made a new sketch with the same pose on the larger sketchbook, and I decided to do all the simple linework before doing any shading. Then I can add that incrementally and hopefully avoid the heavy-handed finishing that makes my work seem stiff and drab.
The feet look farther away, boosting that illusion of depth. And presumably he's now very, very tall.
Oh, and, hey, a background!
I'll post the finished work when it's, well, finished.

giving up something as a noun
Thread starter skye
I can't find the right word again, but this time I have no suggestions of my own.
I'm looking for a word that would say that you have to give up something to achieve another thing, a noun.
The sentence is:
Sport demands a lot of time, talent and "giving up things???".
Looks kind of sad, doesn't it? If you have a better idea, please write it here.
I believe the word you want is "sacrifice".
Jana337
How about sacrifice, trade-offs?
Thanks, sometimes you know a word, but you just won't remember it when you need it, I think sacrifice fits the sentence well.

You can also use "sacrifices", depending on how you are thinking. For instance, if you have to give up many things, in different areas…

leenico said:
Thanks for all the answers, I used sacrifices in the end.
I was wondering if there is a difference between sports and sport, but there wasn't anything specific in the dictionary. I thought that sports are probably sports in general, and sport is a particular discipline. Can they be used interchangeably as an adjective?
Hey skye;
If you are talking about one specific 'sport'..I would say..
'The sport of Soccer demands a lot of time, talent and sacrifices'.
General 'sports'
' Sports demand a lot of time, talent and sacrifices'.
You are correct in the usage of the two..'sport'..is used for one type..'sports'..is used for the generalization...when using the word sport..we usually say what that sport is..

"I enjoy sports" might be said by someone who likes to partake.
"I enjoy sport" might be said by someone who likes to watch.
Or am I just imagining it?
lainyn
"Sport" as a singular noun is more of a Britishism. It's perfectly correct English, and doesn't need to be "corrected", but in North American English the construction isn't used.
Some North American English examples:
I like watching sports.
I like playing sports.
It was just for sport. (but more of a literary expression)
Nocciolina
I believe sport can also be employed as a plural noun:
Sport demands a lot of time.....
Why is English referred to as British English? Shouldn't it just be English? What about the Scottish and the Welsh? Is there Scottish English and Welsh English?
Well, you're from England, so it makes sense to call it English. But to a Canadian or an American, it's rather difficult to distinguish English English from North American English, so that's why we say British English. It's kind of a misnomer though, because no one ever means to include the Scots or Welsh in this category. And yes, we say Scottish, but as for Welsh, I've never encountered a Welsh English phrase - so I've never used it.
I'm sorry I'm so used to saying British English for English English ... but it sounds a good better than doubling it for clarity, don't you think?
But you didn't employ Sport as a plural noun here - you conjugated "to demand" as if it were singular (or a mass noun).
~Lainyn
lainyn said:
Sorry, I should have been clearer:
Sport can also be employed as a plural noun, or should have a said a generic, all-encompassing noun to mean sport as a whole, many sports even, more than one hence plural? Conjugated as a singular now. Yes, I am bored at work.
kiolbassa
Sport demands sacrifice.
Both can be used in the same way in the singular. Its much more powerful than saying:
Sports demand sacrifices.
Or at least I think so!
garryknight said:
Ahummmm..Sir Knight;
'I enjoy sport'.??? ..a little cavemanish..no?..
and you enjoy What sport?..ahhh..the sport of talking Caveman...

LIBRIS (Library Information System) is a Swedish national union catalogue maintained by the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm.[1] It is possible to freely search about 6.5 million titles nationwide.[2]
In addition to bibliographic records, one for each book or publication, LIBRIS also contains an authority file of people. For each person there is a record connecting name, birth and occupation with a unique identifier.[प्रमाण देईं]
The MARC Code for the Swedish Union Catalog is SE-LIBR, normalized: selibr.[3]
The development of LIBRIS can be traced to the mid-1960s.[4] While rationalization of libraries had been an issue for two decades after World War II, it was in 1965 that a government committee published a report on the use of computers in research libraries.[5] The government budget of 1965 created a research library council (Forskningsbiblioteksrådet, FBR).[6] A preliminary design document, Biblioteksadministrativt Information System (BAIS) was published in मई 1970, and the name LIBRIS, short for Library Information System, was used for a technical subcommittee that started on 1 July 1970.[7] The newsletter LIBRIS-meddelanden (ISSN 0348-1891) has been published since 1972[8] and is online since 1997.[9]

"Ab Initio Molecular Orbital Study on the Ge-, Sn-, Zr- and Si/Ge-Mixed" by Takako Kudo, Mitsutoshi Akasaka et al.
For the purpose of designing new functional silsesquioxanes (POSS), the structure and stability of the analogous compounds of the heavier group 14 and 4 elements such as germanium (Ge-POSS), tin (Sn-POSS) and zirconium (Zr-POSS) analogues of POSS were investigated and compared with those of the parent POSS and the titanium analogue (Ti-POSS) with electronic structure theory calculations, including electron correlation effects. In order to obtain information about the metalloxane (−X−O−X−) linkage, the structures and properties of the building blocks of metallasilsesquioxanes, such as dimetalloxanes, H(OH)2XOX(OH)2H, X = Ge, Sn and Zr, and cyclometalloxanes, [H(OH)XO]n, n = 3−6, X = Ge, Sn and Zr, were examined. The stability of the Si/Ge-mixed POSS were also studied in comparison with POSS and the completely germanium-substituted POSS.

Day 6489: DOCTOR WHO: The Woman Who Rose to the Challenge
The name is Bond… Jane Bond!
Don't knock it. This week Doctor Who went where no man has gone before. And about time. And she did it in "Casino Royale" style with a little more of the WooWho theme added each time she stepped closer to remembering just Who she fully was.
Fearless confrontation with aliens… build a new sonic… heroic action sequence… turn their own weapons against them… never cruel, never cowardly, always there to help… and you're really going to wear that?
The Doctor's back baby, she's back.
And so are we. Here's Daddy's new Who review.
"All of this is new to you, and new can be scary."
The first impression was that this was very new. The cinematography was more sweeping. The pacing was more measured. The focus more on the ensemble cast – like the opening of "Rose" but paced like Broadchurch not a pop video. The music was less frenetic. The colour palette was more naturalistic, at least for the daytime work.
Let's hope that "naturalistic" means "grim up north and dark" for one episode only, and that alien planets will be different. The posters for this season have been so vibrant and colourful, and Doctor Who should look different to anything else on TV (again!).
There are clearly two ways to handle the transition from Doctor to Doctor: the companions to hold your hand approach as you experience their shock, bewilderment and acceptance with them – "Power of the Daleks", naturally, but also "Robot" or "Deep Breath"; and the all-change method, where the whole team are new and you experience the Doctor brand new for the first time all over again: "The Eleventh Hour", "Rose" or "Spearhead from Space" or even arguably "An Unearthly Child".
But in a lot of ways this was also a step back to something hugely "trad" – not exactly 20th Century Who, but what that might have evolved into along the lines of other British drama.
We've had ten seasons of New Who with emphasis on the "New", both Russell Davies era of fast-cutting, high octane, high contrast based on American series like "Buffy", and the Steven Moffat's puzzle-box genre, in darkness and actinic blues. Right now, something old-school is the radical departure.
And I'm reminded of Sir Humphrey's advice in "Yes, Prime Minister" – if you're going to do something really radical, Prime Minister, announce it from the most traditional wood-panelled library with leather chair and mahogany desk. Everything you can do to comfort people and tell them it'll all be fine.
Because holy crap the Doctor is a woman and half the Internet have lost their minds.
"I'm looking for a doctor"
Which of course is absurd, because the Doctor is still the Doctor and Jodie Whittaker is brilliant.
(Mind you, for a series that defines itself by change, we are talking about a fanbase that has difficulty recognising "the Welsh series", who thought "The Deadly Assassin" was the death of the magic, that colour was maybe a step too far, or that it was all downhill once those two schoolteachers appeared…)
Of course, it's early days, and we've got the excuse of post-regenerative discombobulation to handwave any cuts and trims as writers and actor find the performance. But what we saw on the first night was, let's quote the trail, glorious.
We acknowledge the gender swap with "Why are you calling me madam?" but it makes no difference to the Doctor taking charge like she owns the place, same as the Doctor has always done.
A defining scene was aboard the train, as Yas tries to assert her authority as a police officer (or cadet PCSO), and the Doctor effortlessly takes charge, not by bullying or physical threat but by posing the pertinent questions and showing she's the one with the answers.
Jodie's performance gave me a bit of Tom in, say, the "that nap did me the world of good", and some lovely squidgy-faced expressions as emotive as Sylv, but most reminded me of Matt, with the physical discoordinations and the eccentric distractedness. And the complete confidence in the dress-sense. Which is also very Colin.
But played, and I think quite rightly, with an absolute confidence in her own authority, not arrogance, but certainty.
And kindness.
The seventh Doctor went to the funeral in "Remembrance of the Daleks" but only the thirteenth would stay.
And thankfully after the "am I a good man" gloom that beset the twelfth Doctor, Jodie felt like a Doctor unburdened. Able to offer a helping hand and stand up for fair play because she's – literally – got the spoons now to do so.
"There's echoes of who I was, and a sort of call towards who I am."
Possibly unsurprising given that this is Chibnall, he's chosen to sample some of his favourite Who moments, made a montage from some of the series' quintessential touchstones: the Doctor's speech about family from "Tomb of the Cybermen"; the forging of the new sonic – from spoons and a bit of alien spacepod – harking back to the third Doctor's gadget building, if way more epic; the crane reminiscent of Sarah Jane climbing the Thal rocket in "Genesis of the Daleks", or the Doctor and friends teleporting between adventures as in "The Ark in Space" or again from the end of "Genesis…" with added floating in space effect; the Doctor looking for "a doctor" as Peter Davison was in "Castrovalva"; possibly a nod to David Tennant in "The Christmas Invasion" as the Doctor recovers on the sofa exhaling artron energy; even the first glimpse of the new female companion is in police uniform like Amy (thank god this time she's not really a stripper!). "Will he ever call me grandad" was a line given to Graham, but was planting a flag for the series' roots right back to "An Unearthly Child".
But Chibnall wasn't afraid to subvert the expectations either: two aliens arrive – one tentacle-y one in armour – the Doctor guesses two alien races at war… immediately I'm thinking Sontarrans vs Rutans… but no, he's not afraid for the Doctor to guess wrong, and the aliens – on the same side after all – turn out to be the Jem'Hadar… no, sorry the Stenza.
Well, there's a whole new meaning to "toothy grin", that Terrance Dicks can't have thought of. Possibly Chibnall has been studying too many serial killers for writing "Broadchurch" (yes, I know they didn't actually do serial killer) with their gruesome souvenir-collecting habits.
The tentacle-y thing, meanwhile, was wonderfully Cthuloid. We wondered if it had assembled itself a form from train cabling, incidentally, and might it have build different, more industrial bodies later at the crane site.
And as an aside, I thought it was good that Ryan was able to own his mistake in "granting access" too.
The Woman Who Fell
So, let's look at the supporting cast, who I thought were great.
Of the non-Time Lord regulars, it's interesting that Ryan (Tosin Cole) is clearly the audience identification figure, starting from his vlog as we do. That also makes him the voice of the author for part of the story. And it's his action that incites the incident.
I'm slightly less sold on Bradley Walsh's Graham yet. He's no Wilf. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt if only for the gleeful expression as he detonates an explosion in the season's trailer.
But of the three, I'm favouring Yas as the stand-out, Mandip Gill bringing a bright intelligence and curiosity to the role. Though something that makes Yas a Moffat-style companion (something else other than she's wearing a police uniform – she's earned that uniform!): she knew Ryan in childhood and suddenly finds him again because of the weird stuff he shows her and she doesn't believe!
Not joining us on voyage, Karl Brian Wright, crane operator and "valuable person" was sweet in his own way, and I liked that he said thank you and left (yes, like Derek from "Survival"), though the plot demanded that – like, Alex tells me, the book of "Survival" – the monsters come after him in the end. Nice that the Doctor gave him a ticking off for booting the beaten villain off a crane (though not the full Harriet Jones destroy his life!).
But my favourite was Grace, for all that – curse you the spoilers of pre-publicity – knowing she wasn't a series regular was as good as hanging a "doomed" sign around her neck. She was funny and brave and curious and had as much character as the other three put together. Basically, she'd have been a great companion in the Evelyn Smythe tradition. Several times, I thought she was about to buy the farm, so making it to the last act was almost an achievement, but then it was "No Graham, let me go sticking the probulator into the electric death-ball up the crane", and fate was sealed.
Grace's fall give the episode title poignant double meaning – in retrospect highlighted by Ryan from the beginning telling us that the woman we think this is about isn't the woman who this is about.
Chibnall here strikes a balance between Russell, having people challenge the Doctor afterwards on consequences, and Moffat saying if you wish hard enough there are no consequences at all, (so if you die you just can't have been special enough); he's learnt from writing a long and harrowing detective show (and maybe from reading some PD James) that when people die it has a massive effect on other people, rarely beneficial, sometimes catastrophic, because every person is the centre of their own story with their own web of connections and consequences.
And if Grace is the point of the first episode, is this an author's nod to the US remake of his Broadchurch called Gracepoint?
The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy tells us that the probability of being rescued from the vacuum of space is 2 to the power of 276,709 to 1 against, which as we all know was a telephone number in Islington in the late 'Seventies. So will someone with an Infinite Improbability Drive be along in a half a minute to rescue our heroes?
And looking longer term, are we going for a "quest for the TARDIS" season story-arc (what, the show-runner might have fibbed about all separate stories?!)
And the big question: Will we get a title sequence?

I've seen the point made that Grace is very Doctorish in personality, and this might lead to interesting dynamics with The Doctor and Graham further down the line.

I feel like there has to have been more than one Evelyn Smythe for there to be such thing as the "Evelyn Smythe tradition", but yes.

Gather at Oak Flat, Saturday, February 7
Saturday, February 7 will be a day of speakers, music, inspiration, and sharing to protect Oak Flat.
Please attend the gathering and to bring your friends, family, and colleagues.
Saturday will be a beautiful day in a beautiful place. It will be a great way to learn more about Oak Flat, why we are protecting it, and what you can do to help.
Oak Flat Campground is located south of US Highway 60, 4 miles east of Superior, AZ. You will see a Highway sign for the campground coming from either direction on Highway 60. Follow signs into the campground.
The land near the Oak Flat Campground is a sacred site to the indigenous tribes in the area, including the Apache bands. The new law allows Rio Tinto a run-around to avoid complying with indigenous rights to the land. Activists have been working for many years on the issue and actions are being planned this winter throughout the region to raise awareness and stop the destruction of this wild and sacred space.
Ask the President to Veto the National Defense Authorization Act
Yesterday, December 12, the US Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The Defense bill contains the Oak Flat land exchange.
Please contact President Obama and ask him to veto the NDAA. This is our only step left to stop the land exchange from becoming law.
You've taken action many time to help protect Oak Flat and I'm asking you now to take action one more time to protect Oak Flat.
There are so many reasons that attaching the land exchange to the NDAA is a terrible idea. But let's face it, RIo Tinto's supporters knew that this was there last best chance to give Oak Flat to a giant foreign mining company.
Every day we were learning more about how critical Oak Flat is for religious freedom and environmental protection and Rio Tinto knew they needed to act fast. So, they buried the land exchange deep in a anrelated bill.
Let our President know that the NDAA must be vetoed until the Oak Flat land exchange is removed.
After you have sent your letter to President Obama, also sign a petition asking the President to stop this Apache land grab.
Contact the Senate to remove Oak Flat land exchange from the National Defense Authorization Act
Contact your Senators today to remove the Oak Flat land exchange from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
In a highly controversial move last week, the US House of Representatives buried the Oak Flat land exchange deep in the House version of the NDAA. For 10 years, the land exchange has failed to be become law for very good reasons:
It is the only bill before the US Congress that would give a Native American Sacred site on public land to a foreign mining company;
It would mean the largest loss of recreational rock climbing opportunities on public land
And it bypasses the normal process of permitting mines on public land.
President Eisenhower placed Oak Flat off limits to mining 60 year ago and it remains an ecological, spiritual and recreational haven.
In spite of the will of Congress not to pass the Oak Flat land exchange, its supporters snuck the bill into the defense bill (Section 3003 on page 1103 of a 1,600 page bill). The language of the bill was changed, but is still completely unacceptable.
Please contact your Senator immediately and ask him/her to remove Section 3003, (the new number for the Oak Flat land exchange) and to pass a clean Defense bill.
House of Representatives contemplating adding Oak Flat land exchange to Defense authorization bill
Sycamore in Full fall color in Gaan CanyonWe have learned today that the House of Representatives leadership is trying to add the Oak Flat land exchange to the National Defense Authorization Act as part of a package of public lands bills. Your help is needed immediately to contact your Representative and ask him/her to oppose the Oak Flat land exchange (HR 687) under any circumstances and especially as a rider onto a Defense bill.
The Oak Flat land exchange is the only bill in this Congress that would give a Native American sacred site on public lands to a foreign mining company, would be the largest single loss of recreational opportunities on public land, and would circumvent the normal process of permitting mines located on public land. The House leadership brought the land exchange to the House floor for a vote twice a year ago, but pulled it at the last minute because they could not defeat an amendment to the bill that would have prevented the privatization of an public land that is sacred.
Why is it that at the end of every Congress, Rio Tinto's supporters try to sneak the land exchange through Congress in the dead of night?
Send a letter to your Representative to stop the Oak Flat land exchange now!
Act now to stop the Oak Flat land exchange
Congress has returned for a final session and some Senators may attempt to bundle the Oak Flat Land Exchange, S. 339, with other bills that deal with public lands.
Most of these bill are good bills, but adding the Oak Flat land exchange to the package would poison the entire bill.
S. 339 is a land exchange that foreign-owned Rio Tinto mining company has convinced Arizona members of Congress to introduce on their behalf, a giveaway of land that is sacred to the San Carlos Apache tribe. The bill would be the only bill in Congress that would give away a sacred site to a foreign corporation, would be the largest loss of recreational climbing on public lands, and would overturn a ban on mining at Oak Flat that was put in place by President Eisenhower.
This is nothing new. At the end of every Congress, Rio Tinto's supporters in Congress try to bypass normal procedure by attaching the land exchange to an unrelated piece of legislation. They know they cannot pass the land exchange in the light of day, so they resort to these behind the scenes maneuvers.
We've helped to stop this bill before, now we need your help to do it again!
Tell your Senator that privatizing federally protected lands and turning them over to a foreign mining corporation without federal environmental review or public input isn't right. Sacred sites, recreation and the sensitive ecological area surrounding Oak Flat are more important than a copper mine.
Tell your Senator to save Oak Flat from foreign mining companies!
Arizona Mining Reform Coalition attends Rio Tinto AGM in London
This morning, April 18th, 2013, Rio Tinto held their Annual General Meeting in London. Our Director, Roger Featherstone, was in town and attended the meeting.
During the meeting, Roger was able to ask the Rio Tinto Board of Directors the following question:
Written Opposition to HR 687 / S 339
Resolutions, letters, and testimony opposing HR 687 and/or S 339
May 14, 2013 Group Sign on letter
May 13, 2013 Town of Superior letter to Natural Resources Committee
Town of Superior Resolution
Town of Superior Written Comments to the Committee
Town of Superior Press Release
Queen Valley Golf Association
Town of Superior passes Resolution opposing the Oak Flat land exchange
On March 13, 2013, the town council of Superior, Arizona passed a unanimous resolution opposing HR 687, the latest version of the Oak Flat land exchange. The resolution passed following a town council meeting a week ago in which the town council took comments on their decision to oppose the land exchange and end a Mutual Benefits Agreement with Rio Tinto. At that meeting, the majority of comments supported the town decision. Superior Town Council meeting
During the council meeting Rio Tinto threatened to lay off it's workers if the town passed the resolution. This is similar to a threat Rio Tinto made last November to lay off most of their workers is the previous version of the land exchange, HR 1904, was not approved by Congress. There is no word yet whether Rio Tinto will follow through with their threat now that the resolution has been passed.
See a copy of the resolution.
Town of Superior Ends Agreements with Rio Tinto
Main Street, Superior
On February 21, 2013, the town of Superior officially terminated its Mutual Benefits Agreement with Rio Tinto and withdrew it's letter of support for the Oak Flat land exchange.
The town's letter begins, "Due to the financial condition of the Town of Superior, I have been instructed to inform you that we regret that we can no longer express our unqualified support of the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act (HR 687 or SB 339, as drafted.)"
The letter cites 6 reasons for the termination with its relationship with Rio Tinto:
Queen Valley opposes Rio Tinto's water diversion away from Queen Creek
On December 3, 2012, the Queen Valley Golf Association passed a resolution opposing Rio Tinto's diversion of 900,000 gallons Queen Valley Golf Courseof water a day from its normal course down Queen Creek to a pipeline carrying the water directly to the Phoenix area where it is diluted and dumped on agriculture fields in return for water credits going to Rio Tinto that could be used should Rio Tinto develop a proposed mine at Oak Flat. This diversion has left Queen Valley, a small retirement community centered around it's golf course, with water shortages.See the Queen Valley Golf Association's letter here.
On January 11, 2013, the Queen Valley Homeowners Association passed a similar resolution opposing the water diversion and also opposing RIo Tinto's plans to place a mountain of tailings at Florence Junction. A tailings pile at Florence Junction would seriously impact the community, only 4 miles away. See the Queen Valley Homeowners Association letter here.

Q: Starting string theory studies in grad school How is it possible for a grad student to do research in any modern area of string theory like AdS/CFT or ABJM if they need to start grad school by having to learn QFT from scratch?
Is there a time-line over which this is even possible?
Or one necessarily needs to come to grad school knowing at least Polchinki level string theory to be able to understand AdS/CFT or ABJM? I mean even if one has worked through enough of Polchinki's book one is likely to stare blank at the ABJM paper. Then is it even possible for someone to get to research level with something like this if they start from basic QFT in grad school?
I would like to know what if is a practical implementation.

Der Flugunfall einer Dassault Falcon der Iranischen Revolutionsgarde ereignete sich am 9. Januar 2006 in der Nähe von Urmia, als es an einer Dassault Falcon 20E, mit der ein Flug vom Flughafen Teheran-Mehrabad zum Flughafen Urmia durchgeführt wurde, zu einem totalen Triebwerksausfall infolge einer Vereisung im Flug gekommen war. Bei einer anschließenden, fehlgeschlagenen Notlandung in einem Feld kamen alle elf Insassen der Falcon ums Leben.

Maschine
Bei der verunfallten Maschine handelte es sich um eine im Jahr 1975 gebaute Dassault Falcon 20E mit der Modellseriennummer 333. Die Maschine wurde im November 1975 an die Kaiserliche Iranische Marine ausgeliefert und bei dieser mit dem militärischen Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen 5-2801. Nach der Islamischen Revolution wurde die Maschine irgendwann an die Iranischen Luftstreitkräfte übergeben und erhielt bei diesen ihr neues militärisches Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen 15-2233. Das zweistrahlige Geschäftsreiseflugzeug war mit zwei Turbojettriebwerken des Typs General Electric CF700-2D-2 ausgestattet.

Insassen
An Bord der Maschine befanden sich eine dreiköpfige Besatzung sowie acht Passagiere. Zu letzteren gehörte unter anderem der Oberbefehlshaber der Luftstreitkräfte der Iranischen Revolutionsgarden, Ahmad Kazemi.

Unfallhergang
Der Unfall ereignete sich gegen 9:30 Uhr Ortszeit. Als sich die Maschine unter schwierigen Wetterbedingungen im Anflug auf Urmia befand und das Fahrwerk für die Landung ausgefahren wurde, leuchteten nicht, wie erforderlich, drei grüne Kontrolllampen auf. Aus diesem Grund wurde der Kontrollturm von Urmia überflogen, damit die Fluglotsen vom Boden aus nachsehen konnten, ob das Fahrwerk korrekt ausgefahren war. Während die Maschine über dem Zielflughafen kreiste, kam es zu einem Flammabriss in beiden Triebwerken. Es wurde daraufhin versucht, die Maschine in einem Feld notzulanden, wobei die Maschine jedoch abstürzte. Alle elf Insassen kamen ums Leben.

Ursache
Als Ursache für den totalen Triebwerksausfall wurde eine Vereisung der Triebwerke im Flug angegeben.

The Norwegian Tax Assessment Act is effective from 1 January 2017. In addition to some significant material changes regarding tax assessment, the legislation introduces a new compulsory fine for late filing or non-compliance. Many branches are now at risk of such fines.
Both resident and non-resident entities carrying on business in Norway are obliged to submit an annual income tax return (No: Skattemelding). The obligation applies even if the entity disputes its obligation to pay tax and also if the income is deemed not to be taxable to Norway pursuant to an applicable tax treaty.
An entity with taxable turnover on goods and services in Norway exceeding 50 000 NOK in a period of 12 months is liable to register in the Norwegian VAT register. All subjects registered must file a VAT return form six times annually (No: MVA-meldingen).
If an entity has employees in Norway, the employer must be registered in the Employers and Employees register. Information about employees and payroll must be submitted through a scheme each month (No: A-meldingen). Other reporting requirements may apply to foreign employees working on contracts carried out in Norway (and on the Norwegian Continental Shelf).
All forms should be filed through Altinn (a Norwegian electronic filing system). If the entity does not comply with the obligations above, the Tax Authorities may impose a compulsory fine. There may also be other sanctions such as discretionally assessment of tax and/or VAT, penalty tax and interests.
The fine for non-compliance of the tax return or VAT return form, is NOK 524 each day, limited to NOK 52 450. Late filing of information on third party-obligations (e.g. A-meldingen) are NOK 1 049 each day, also limited to NOK 52 450. All amounts are annually adjusted.
6 March 2017: Filing of A-meldingen for the previous month (February). Generally, the deadline is on the 5th each month with adjustments to weekends and public holidays.
10 April 2017: Filing of MVA-meldingen for Term 1 in 2017 (January and February). The deadlines for other terms are: Term 2: 10 June, Term 3: 31 August, Term 4: 10 October, Term 5: 10 December, and Term 6: 10 February 2018.
31 May 2017: Filing of Skattemeldingen for companies, branches and other entities.

Soooo I've gotten a little behind on my recaps... don't get me wrong... I've been watching and even taking notes for the recaps! But... you know... life.
So... this week we are back in the airport hanger... ironic considering we were left on a cliffHANGER (get it). JoJo wipes her tears and looks better after BAWLING than I do on a good day... cool.
She sends Luke home and everyone is left scratching their heads... but he made you a couch out of bails of hay JoJo! Does that mean NOTHING to you!? JoJo forcing him to sit and watch her cry is maybe the most awkward thing thus far this season. Don't you remember JoJo... you're the one that did the dumping? Luke saying "You didn't want me anymore" broke my heart. Poor little country boy.
As "heartbroken" as JoJo was saying goodbye to Luke, she sure as hell seemed right as rain the next day. And in the words of the Foo Fighters "Done, done, on to the next one".
The group is now in Hua Hin, Thailand and I squeal with delight because I can't wait for our Bachelors and Bachelorette to try to pronounce it but they never even TRY! Sad face.
Robby kind of gets the short end of the stick because their date is walking this like open air market that reminds me of where Aladdin stole bread, but thats besides the point. Not only does he get this less than romantic date, it literally starts POURING. They stop to get a Thai pedicure and strangely enough, this isn't the first time we've seen Robby get a pedicure this season.
When Robby arrives for their dinner date his style says "I don't actually own a yacht, but I wish I did". Also, did anyone notice how strangely dilated his pupils were? What kind of crazy drugs is this guy on? He pulls out a note from his dad and I think it's supposed to be sweet but Danica and I were sitting on the couch rolling our eyes. He of course gets offered the fantasy suite card and accepts. JoJo says off camera "I know I love Robby" wait... what? You do? NEWS TO US! She seems more than excited to "be intimate" (her words, not mine, gross). We get the standard breakfast in bed shot the next morning and then the obligatory walk of shame after.
Jordan arrives on a boat and his date already looks better than Robby's. JoJo's crop top is a bit much for me but since I love her so much it, imma let it slide. They go on a pretty intense hike and I start thinking ehh maybe Robby's date in the Aladdin market wasn't so bad. JoJo is on the hunt for this temple and she mentions it at ever turn. Eventually the find it and apparently you cant show you shoulders there so she puts a shirt on over her barely there macrame crop top oh and you also can't kiss... so they continue to get as close as you possibly can without kissing. Blah blah blah, they have dinner, he gets a fantasy suite card, they end up having breakfast in bed.
Chase arrives on a scooter and it's started to seem like the producers did everything in their power to make sure all the guys had a different entrance. I'm not quite sure where they are but one of the first things JoJo says is "It smells like fish" mmmm romantic! Chase actually seems more fun and silly that ever and I actually kind of start to think he's less of a dud. Somehow in between their day date and their dinner Robby visits JoJo in her room. Now, of course, he could have totally visited on a different day and it was just edited to look like the same day, we'll never really know, but, JoJo seems WAY different at dinner, like she is totally over Chase. She even says off camera "I love Jordan. I love Robby" but is clearly unsure of Chase. Danica and I are cringing trying to figure out how she's going to break it to him. Is she not going to offer him the fantasy suite card? Is she going to give it to him and then after he accepts will she reject? WAIT... WHAT THE DAMN HELL... SHE GAVE IT TO HIM AND THEY'RE GOING! They creep through the sliding back door of the room which is awkward in and of itself and then, after Chase pours his heart out to JoJo and tells her he loves her she "needs a minute", goes outside, composes herself, then comes back and essentially dumps him. Chase is upset, with good reason. Generally when you tell someone you love them, its not the most ideal time for them to also dump you. Like she did with Luke, JoJo starts to play the victim again and I'm kind of getting tired of the tears. I get it, this whole thing is hard but, it's like she doesn't even think that THEY are hurting too. Come on JoJo, get it together. Chase immediately steals my heart upon his exit, with a BEER IN HAND he gets into his transport and says "is this my fantasy suite". YAS Chase, YAS.
Jordan and Robby show up for the rose ceremony and it's like The Battle of the Bulge, literally, how tight are these pants?! JoJo begins to to explain to the other guys how she let Chase go and before she even finishes the sentence, Chase walks in and asks to speak with her. DUN DUN DUUUUN. I'm full on expecting a To Be Continued but its not! He explains how he's not asking for a second change but rather making amends and apologizing that his initial reaction was anger. This move, of course, is to save face and keep the window open for potentially being the next Bachelor.
Jordan and Robby get their roses and now all that's left is one. final. rose.

Consumer sentiment drops to a decade low as inflation fears mount
Stuart Varney, host of FOX Business, says US grocery bills have risen as Biden has flooded the economy with money.
A recent survey by the University of Michigan found that Consumer confidence It fell to a new low in a decade due to concerns economic inflation Growing Amidst the Constant Russian Invasion of Ukraine.
The University of Michigan Consumer Confidence Index (MCSI), a monthly survey of how consumers feel about the economy, personal finance, business and purchasing conditions, ended March 2022 at 59.4%, down 5.4% from the final reading of 62.8% in February 2022 and down by 5%. 30.0% from the index's reading of 84.9% a year ago in March 2021.
The end-March reading of 59.4% is down 0.5% from a decade-low of 59.7 hit in mid-March.

Policymakers should consider the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24 and entered its 32nd day on Sunday, said Richard Curtin, chief economist at the University of Michigan Consumer Survey, a major source of ongoing economic disruption, with the spread of the new COVID-19. Variables are also somewhat of a secondary factor.
The study found that inflation was the main reason for the increase in pessimism, with an inflation rate for next year expected at 5.4%, the highest since November 1981.

When consumers were asked to explain changes in their financial conditions in their own words, more consumers mentioned lower living standards due to higher inflation than at any other time except for the worst recession in the past 50 years: from March 1979 to April 1981, and from May through October 2008 ' said Curtin. Moreover, 32% of all consumers expected their overall financial situation to deteriorate in the next year, the highest level recorded since surveys began in the mid-1940s.

Curtin assessed that the combination of higher prices and a less positive income outlook means that half of all households expected declines in inflation-adjusted income in the next year.
The only area of the economy where consumers remained optimistic was the labor market, where 30% of respondents in March predicted that over the next year, the unemployment rate was likely to decline further compared to 24% of respondents who expected an increase.
"Strong job growth will continue to put upward pressure on wages, leading to higher incomes and stronger job prospects," Curtin said. "This force will then expand consumer demand and eventually lead to another cycle of price and wage increases. These factors represent the necessary (but not sufficient) conditions for the development of inflationary psychology as a self-fulfilling prophecy."
He further assessed that "prevention of inflationary psychology is much less costly before it becomes ingrained in the economic behavior of consumers and firms". While confidence that economic policies will solve the problem is essential, Curtin notes unfortunately, half of consumers rate current policies negatively, and more than three times the 16% who rate them positively.

According to Investopedia, many consumers were concerned that the Federal Reserve had failed to act appropriately on the chances of nipple inflation in its early stages. MCSI assessed in mid-January that respondents' confidence in government policies had fallen to its lowest level since 2014.
The MCSI results for the end of March ranked the current economic conditions at 67.2%, which is a decrease of 1.5% from 68.2% in February, and a decrease of 27.7% since last year in March 2021. The index of consumer expectations was at 54.3% by the British government. The end of March, down 8.6% from February 59.4% and down 31.9% from last year in March 2021.

Q: How indexing on a date field that is constantly updated and or omitted affect performance? In MongoDB, I have a collection with a date field called last_updated I would like to index. Reason being, I am often querying on a date range of that field in addition to sorting by that field and feel as though I can speed the process up. I would like to add as a side note: this collection does see a lot of writes and updates.
However, I would like to know the implications of doing so. My understanding is that updates are the heaviest transaction in a b-tree index structure and would poorly affect performance. Would anyone mind explaining whether it would or wouldn't and if not why it would be just as normal as indexing on another date field (one that is not updated).

A: Hi It will affect but not greatly.what happens is whenever you made change in collection index will be updated and during index update your collection will be locked .So to overcome this you can use index in background  by using:
db.collection.createIndex( { last_updated: 1}, {background: true} )
it will let you use your collection while updating so you will never found any kind of disruption because of your index.
As you have mentioned that you do sorting on "last_updated".I strongly recommend you to use index .you will have high read performance at a minimal indexing cost.


An invaluable device for each and every private investigator and private detective is this landline telephone recorder which will permit them to record vital evidence from both conversations in an investigation, when connected to a landline socket. It's perfect for long term surveillance of telephone calls, recording up to 280 hours of conversation, or to back up a private investigator's or private detective's own calls. A separate battery pack is also obtainable.
A actually useful feature of the device is that it only records the sounds from the telephone line and not random sounds in the room. This ensures that the recordings are of top quality, which is vital to any investigation a private investigator or private detective undertakes, as evidence needs to be clear without background noise to prevent confusion. The landline telephone recorder also comes with an additional external microphone, with a lead a metre in length, so the device could be deployed in a range of situations. To play back the recordings, earphones could be plugged in to listen to the evidence, which are supplied with all the device, or perhaps a private investigator or private detective can listen via a PC with out the need for software, as a personal computer will recognise it as a flash drive USB.


It is a quite simple project where I can use my dusty Myo. The most difficult part is to enable Raspberry Pi to communicate with Myo. Because there is no official SDK of Myo for Linux, therefore we have to communicate with Myo through Bluetooth manually. Previous effort can be found in myo-raw and pyoconnect. I wrapped the APIs in my own library in raspberrypy.

Apple Planning To Shift 90 Million iPhone 6s Units This Year, New Color Option In Tow
By Paul Morris | July 9th, 2015
In an attempt to capitalize and follow on from the successes that came attached to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple is reportedly planning a production run of record proportions for its next-generation smartphone. According to a new report, The Wall Street Journal is not only adding weight to the speculation that manufacturing of the iPhone 6s began back in June in preparation for a fall launch, but it's also suggesting that Apple is demanding suppliers to ramp up production to produce a record number of iPhone 6s handsets in time for the official launch date later in the year.
If the numbers quoted in the article are to be believed then it seems that Apple could be looking to shift 85 to 90 million iPhone 6s units during the final financial quarter of the year. The Cupertino company managed to hit the spot with consumers with the launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, resulting in approximately 74.5 million units flying off the shelves during the same quarter of 2014. That success, coupled together with the potential integration of new features, has led Apple to believe that it can shift even more units of the next iPhone.
In addition to discussing the supply chain, the source also pretty much confirms the existence of a number of previously speculated feature additions. Although the next-generation hardware is expected to be visually identical to the iPhones that we already have and interact with on a daily basis, it does look certain to be manufactured with a display complete with Apple's Force Touch technology that is already present in the Apple Watch and latest range of MacBooks. It's almost certain that the iPhone 6s will also ship with a dramatically improved rear camera component to serve up photography improvements to enthusiasts.
One surprising addition to the iPhone 6s lineup could be the existence of a new color option to compliment the Space Gray, Gold and Silver options that already exist. It had initially been suffused that Apple would continue with the gold theme by introducing a Rose Gold option that differs slightly from the existing gold. However, certain corners are suggesting that the additional color option could be more of a pink solution than rose gold.
With production starting just last month, we should only have to wait until September to see exactly what Apple has in store for us.

OceanPact has new human resources director
Human resources professional Tatiana Melamed was appointed OceanPact's HR director in July. She will be responsible for integrating human resources practices, policies and governance across all the group's companies.
Melamed obtained a law degree from Rio de Janeiro Federal University in 1986. She also has an MBA in HR management from Getulio Vargas Foundation and specialized diplomas in governance and ontological coaching. In November 2018, she started to provide consulting support to OceanPact, helping it structure its human resources area in order to turn it into a leader in its sector. Since then, she has created and implemented a map containing all the professional demands existing in various business areas.
"I understand that my mission is to lead OceanPact's HR area with integrated governance, human resources policies and processes, showing how each person's potential can increasingly drive forward our activities. A company is made up of the right people in the right places. We are building a strong and unique governance in terms of human behavior, careers, policies and processes. That is my great challenge," Melamed says.
She perceives OceanPact as a young, fast-growing company that does what it says it will. "The company is listed on the stock exchange. It is brave and strong. I believe we must grow in a solid and balanced way, always looking ahead, seeing what can be done to become ever more sustainable. People are passionate about OceanPact because it embraces everyone like a wave in the ocean," she says.
