The Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum is a stunning, simplistic mechanical keyboard with fantastic lighting and customization. The G810 is fitted with Logitech's proprietary Romer-G Tactile switches which are specially designed for gaming, with a reduced actuation and travel distance. Though solid and well-built, the G810 has thin, flimsy keycaps and subjective, dampened keyfeel.
The G810 Orion Spectrum is a full-sized mechanical gaming keyboard manufactured by Logitech. With a simplistic, minimalist design, the G810 Orion Spectrum sports small, refined bezels, a matte black base/top and glossy black sides. The G810 comes in at an MSRP of $159.99, but can often be found on sale for around $120. Competing in the same price range of other popular keyboards such as the Corsair Strafe RGB and the Razer Blackwidow V2, the G810 offers a unique typing experience with proprietary Romer-G Tactile switches, fantastic backlighting, and robust build quality.
The G810 is fully customizable with RGB lighting and a wide range of preset lighting effects. The keyboard features dedicated multimedia buttons (Pause/Play, Stop, Forward, Back) as well as a smooth-rolling volume wheel and mute button. These buttons are tactile and responsive, as well as backlit. The "gaming mode" button allows you to disable certain keys from being registered when activated, such as the Windows Key during gameplay. The G810 doesn't come with a wrist rest, unlike the G910. However, since the case is shorter and lower profile, it's definitely useable without one. Unlike most other keyboards at its price point, the G810 Orion Spectrum doesn't have any onboard memory. The G810 also lacks dedicated macro keys that can be useful for both gaming and productivity. The keyboard also features 26-key rollover, so it won't miss-track any keypresses while gaming.
The Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum arrives in a simplistic rectangular box. The front displays an image of the keyboard, along with the model number and logo. On the rear of the box, Logitech goes into depth with the Romer-G switch, talking about the lifespan and "speed" of the switches. The 16.8 million color RGB lighting and dedicated multimedia keys are also detailed on the back. Unlike companies like Corsair, Logitech includes no extra accessories, only a short User Guide and a warranty information slip. The absence of extra keycaps, a keycap puller, or a detachable wrist rest doesn't reflect the premium price point of the keyboard.
Logitech offers one switch type for the G810 Orion Spectrum – Logitech's proprietary Romer-G Tactile switches. These switches are manufactured by Omron using two switch leaves, allowing it to achieve a lifespan of 70 million keypresses. Romer-G switches have a quiet, short actuation. Romer-G Tactile has a 45g actuation force and a 1.5mm actuation distance with a total travel of 3mm. These switches have a reduced travel distance (compared to standard Cherry MX Switches), allowing faster actuation. The key wobble is also reduced, due to the stability of the box-like design.
Romer-G Switches are available in two variants; tactile and linear, but the G810 only comes with the tactile variant. The tactile bump is quite small, similar to the bump found in Cherry MX Browns. They feel quite similar to MX Browns with O-ring dampeners. In terms of key feel, the switches are slightly scratchier than retooled Cherry MX Switches, though not by a significant amount. Due to the reduced tactility, heavy typists may not recognize the tactile bump. The bottoming out of the switch is slightly dampened, making the switch a bit quieter. However, this also makes them faintly mushier. Romer-G switches are shaped like a square, with the light rod in the center. This allows for bright, clean lighting with minimal light leaking.
Personally, to me, the tactile Romer-G switch isn't great for typing, due to the short actuation distance (that may cause mistypes). For gaming, however, they feel decent, as key feel is less important then. The fast actuation is barely noticeable, with just a slight difference. The main advantage for Romer-G switches is their sound. They are quieter than their Cherry MX counterparts, and thus can be discreetly used in an office or gaming setup without disrupting others. However, traditional membrane/rubber dome keyboards are still generally more silent than Romer-G.
The Romer-G Switches have a quiet, short actuation.
The entire outer housing of the keyboard is made out of plastic. The top and bottom are matte black, while the edges are shiny, glossy plastic. The switches are PCB mounted, but the internal plate is steel. This gives the keyboard some weight and heft, as well as minimal case flexibility. Five rubber pads are placed on the bottom of the keyboard to prevent slippage. Two front-facing raised feet allow an incline adjustment of 4o or 8o, enabling you to choose the right height.
The G810's keycaps are in OEM profile, made out of ABS plastic. The legends are transparent and located directly in the center of the keycap. However, at around 1mm thick, the keycaps feel quite flimsy and are prone to cracking and damage. The black keycaps also attract fingerprints, which is something to keep in mind.
The Romer-G switches use a different keycap stem than Cherry MX Switches, and thus don't have any third-party options available for purchase. If you'd like to swap out or replace your keycaps, your only choice is to purchase another stock set directly from Logitech.
The G810 Orion Spectrum uses a standard, braided 1.8-meter long cable to connect with any USB 2.0 devices. The cable is quite thick and stiff, and feels durable. However, minor amounts of fraying have occurred on the braiding of my cable. Although it's just a minor aesthetic issue, this may be annoying to some users. The keyboard end is shielded in thick casing that seems obtrusive against the low-profile case.
The Logitech G810 can be used with either the Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) or Logitech G HUB. I'll be going into depth with LGS, as G HUB still has some bugs/issues, and LGS is still the mainstream software for customizing your Logitech G peripherals.
Logitech Gaming Software has a fairly simple, uncluttered user interface, though it is packed full with features. There are 5 main tabs; Home, Macros, Gaming Keys, Lighting, and Keymaps. Unlike Razer Synapse, LGS requires very little resources and I haven't experienced any freezing or bugs within the software. Overall, it's a great, simple tool that allows you to further customize your gaming peripherals.
Within the Logitech Gaming Software, a whole new set of lighting effects are available. Ranging from Fire to Datafall effects, the software allows for much more backlighting customization. Each key's lighting can be individually set, and there are many preset lighting profiles for popular games.
One of the most interesting features of LGS is in-game lighting integration. Logitech Gaming Software automatically detects over 300 popular games, such as CS:GO and League of Legends. The lighting integrates with the game, lighting up gaming keys and adding many visual effects to your gameplay. For example, in CS:GO, the entire top row lights up green as your healthbar, and turns red as you get hurt. Although this isn't too useful in-game, it's a pretty fascinating lighting feature.
On the G810, only the function row keys can be reprogrammed. This is a bit of a letdown, as you'd need to download third-party software to program any other keys. As for customization, you can assign and program macros, set shortcuts, and assign mouse/keyboard functions. You can create multiple profiles and switch between them in the software.
The Logitech G810 utilizes Romer-G mechanical keyswitches, which boast a 5ms response time compared to the standard 6.7ms. Although the slight latency difference is negligible and barely perceptible, the keyboard doesn't have any noticeable latency nor lag. During fast-paced shooter games, the G810 feels very responsive and on-par with other mechanical gaming keyboards from reputable brands. There should be no problem at all with competitive gaming on the G810 Orion Spectrum.
The Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum is a simplistic, yet stylish gaming keyboard with unique switches and mesmerizing lighting. The Romer-G Tactile Switches are fantastic during gaming, with a fast actuation and low latency. The typing experience is quite mediocre, due to the short travel distance allowed and the dampened, mushier feeling compared to a standard MX switch. The LGS software is very clean, organized, and quick, along with a full range of lighting effects and game integration. The keycaps aren't great and wear easily, but the keyboard itself is solid and built very well. For a basic gaming keyboard with a lack of macro keys and onboard memory, the G810 may not be worth the $159 MSRP to everyone. However, if you can find it on sale, it's a decent pick for a mid-range mechanical gaming keyboard.

Q: TextChange while updating input fields I have two text Fields

I have two fields, which is reference and hotel id as stated on the image,
the value (valeur) is editable and the key (nom) is fixed, what I need to do is the above input field of parameters in JSON will be updated each time the below values (valeur) is changed
so input Parameters will get update just the values in JSON format which are modified below.
The input field parameters will be saved in the DB as JSON format like in the image

A: Maintain an object and on an event (say a submit button), pick the values of the textboxes and add to the object. Use JSON.stringify to add that to the hidden textbox.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/abhitalks/2hv2K/1/
var obj = {};  // maintain an object
$("#btn").on("click", function() { // on an event, say a button click
    obj[$("#name").val()] = $("#value").val(); // add the values to the object
    $("#result").val(JSON.stringify(obj)); // stringify and put in the hidden field
});

Edit (based on Op's comment):
If you want to update the object itself, change the handler accordingly:
Demo 2: http://jsfiddle.net/abhitalks/C63tW/2/
var obj = {};
$("input#name, input#value").on("change", function() { // handle change event
    obj["reference"] = $("#name").val(); // update reference property
    obj["hotel-id"] = $("#value").val(); // update hotel-id property
    $("#result").val(JSON.stringify(obj)); // update the result field
});

Markers for persistent specific expressive language delay in 3-4-year-olds
Andrea Everitt, Philip Hannaford, Gina Conti-Ramsden
Background: Identifying 3–4-year-olds who are most at risk of persisting language difficulties, and possibly specific language impairment (SLI), is difficult due to the natural variation of language in young children. In older children, markers for SLI have been identified that differentiate between children with and without SLI. It is not known whether these markers can be used at an earlier age to identify children most at risk of persisting language difficulties. Aims: To identify possible risk markers of current status that distinguish children who have specific expressive language delay (SELD) from the variation observed in normally developing children at age 3;0–4;0 and 4;0–5;0. To determine the most suitable measure(s) that would predict which children with SELD at age 3;0–4;0 were likely to have persistent expressive language delay (PELD) at age 4;0–5;0. Methods & Procedures: Forty-seven children with SELD and 47 children with typical language development (TLD) were assessed on language, nonverbal IQ and marker tasks at age 3;0–4;0 (baseline). Ninety-one children were reassessed on the measures one year later (follow-up). At both time points, the marker tasks were compared with a reference standard (Expressive Communication subscale (EC) of the Preschool Language Scale—3 (PLS-3) (UK)) to determine the most useful marker for identifying children with SELD. Possible predictors were examined to determine the most suitable measure(s) that would predict which children with SELD at baseline were likely to have PELD at follow-up. Outcome & Results: A modified version of Recalling Sentences, a subtest of the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals (CELF)—Preschool UK, was the most useful marker for identifying children with SELD at baseline and at follow-up. Thirty-five (76.1%) of the 46 children with SELD at baseline had PELD at followup. Performance on the Auditory Comprehension (AC) and EC subscales of the PLS-3 (UK) and on modified Recalling Sentences at age 3;0–4;0 were predictors of PELD at age 4;0–5;0. Conclusions & implications: A modified Recalling Sentences task was a good risk marker for SELD at age 3;0–4;0 and SELD at age 4;0–5;0. PLS-3 AC, PLS-3 EC and modified Recalling Sentences at baseline were the best predictors of PELD. The use of modified Recalling Sentences as a predictive marker requires confirmation.

We have had the opportunity to interview one of the major talents in the youth academy La Masia. Meet Georgios Spanoudakis.
Most people, especially the youngest of our readers may not know who you are, Georgios. Can you tell me about yourself?
- I am 14 years old (born 1998), 171 cm tall and I play for the U14 team of FC Barcelona, also known as Infantil A. I came to Barcelona and La Masia when I was 10 years old, is half Greek and half German.
How would you describe yourself as a player? As a classic number 10?
- Yes, I can play on all three places the center of the pitch, while here in Barcelona I play in something called "half-left position" [Here in Norway we may call it a narrow edge, in that he plays offensive midfield, but a little skewed - and located to the left]. But it's probably better if other people describe my skills, says Georgios, which is determined that there is a long way to go.
- I am the youngest on the team, so it's a long way to go. All my teammates are very good players, it's a good competition, which helps me to get better. I always look forward to next season. The number of years and seasons I'm here, the better I get. La Masia is my school, I feel very lucky and happy to be here. Barcelona is not just a club. It is more like a big family.
Us Barça interested can clearly see that human values are emphasized within the club. What many people may not know is that if you don't do well at school, you actually get less football training than the others.
- We get up at 7:00 to eat breakfast and after breakfast arrive at the bus at La Masia, which drive us to school. School starts at 08:00 and ends 13:00. If you are not performing in school, your workout gets reduced until you have fixed what you're behind at in school, says Georgios about everyday life at La Masia.
- At 1:45 p.m. we will have lunch at La Masia, and right up to 16:30 we have free time where we can sleep, play something, surf the internet and the like. After that, we have certain hours where we can do homework and learn our school. We train four times a week and training always starts at 19:00. At 21:30 we eat dinner, and we need to be in bed at 23:00. Our league matches are being held in the weekends.
Do you learn English at school?
- Yes, we have English lessons in school as well as an additional English course at La Masia.
Do you learn anything about Catalan values and traditions?
- Not really, just about Catalan cuisine.
Speaking of food, what food you eat at La Masia?
- Fish, chicken and pasta. No soda, just water!
Compared to the majority of Norwegian footballers, you seem to be very determined and focused to work hard towards the goal you want to reach. What is it you are told at La Masia, ie, what are you asked to focus on?
- Here at La Masia they always tell us that if they fail to make us professional football players, they'll sure make us decent human beings to society and the social life outside La Masia. That is why the school comes before football, and the grades are more important than talent. Xavi, Iniesta and other first team players come and visit us often and gives us lots of advice. They are all great role models and we will all be like them.
It is said that one of the main reasons for your success is "rondo" - how often do you do this?
This is another reason for the success, yes, we do it in training very often. Generally speaking, we use very little space and play on small courts on training, and we do not train strength or speed until we are 15. Until then, the focus is on ball control and passing, reveals Spanoudakis, who, like many others, have Xavi as his idol.
- I would like to be like Xavi. He is a fantastic player in addition to being a great human being. To get there it's a long way with a lot of work, luck, both in terms of being fit and being lucky with the chances I get.
Yes, have you met any of the A-team players?
- We meet them very often, because we are located on the same training fields, as well as visit us at La Masia, says the German-Greek. He also tells us that you are focused on as a player, regardless of size or age.
- Whether you are tall or short, 8 or 18 years, they treat you the same professional way as everyone else here. There are good players and great talents of all ages here. When you're 15 and your body is better prepared for it, there is an opportunity to play for the older teams in some games.
Is it true that Chelsea were also interested in you? Why did you choose Barcelona?
- Yes, I was invited to audition for Benfica and Chelsea. I chose Barcelona because I think they work more professionally at a young age than any other club and we have many academy players who becomes professionals at the age of 17 each year.
- Xavi, Iniesta and Bastian Schweinsteiger, answers Georgios Spanoudakis to the questions about who his favorite player is.
- All my teammates, the older and even the younger players are talented and very good. I am sure that most of them will be professional players one day. I believe that the younger and the sooner you come to Barcelona, the better you will be playing in the end.
How was the first few months at La Masia, compared with other places you have played football?
- The first two months were very difficult, because I had to learn Catalan and Spanish to communicate with my teammates and start going to school. All at La Masia helped me a lot and I had intensive language lessons every day. But football was very different here. I came from Germany where I played for Eintracht Frankfurt, where football was much more powerful than technical, as it is here, says Georgois Spanoudakis.
We thank you for the interview, Georgios. Do you have one last thing you want to say to your readers?
- To all who work hard, regardless of football, to stay humble and always have faith in themselves, anything is possible and you can achieve everything. That's how dreams come true.
aw what a cutie pie! I hope he does well.
Here at La Masia they always tell us that if they fail to make us professional football players, they'll sure make us decent human beings to society and the social life outside La Masia.
one of the reasons I love the whole programme.
what an awesome kid, seems well spoken too.
Thanks for the translation! I hope Georgios is successful at Barca. He's adorable and very well spoken too.
Thanks for this! Yay for La Masia, raising great players and great people. This kid sounds very mature for his age. His admiration for his awesome role models and the accompanying photos are appreciated too!
Aww bless him, hope he does well.
They really do train them up so well in every respect. Makes me all warm & fuzzy about the future, knowing all these little guys getting better every day.
Totally jealous that they get to hang out with the first team.
Thank you for the translation. Hope he makes it to the 1st team. Sounds like a great kid!

2.5 Water balance assessment for the Hunter subregion
2.5.2 Water balances
2.5.2.1 Groundwater balance for the groundwater modelling domain
Groundwater balances for the Hunter subregion modelling domain (Figure 5) are provided in Table 3 for 2013 to 2042, 2043 to 2072 and 2073 to 2102. Water balance terms represent the mean annual volume in GL/year for each 30-year period across the entire groundwater modelling domain, an area of 34,000 km2. The median, 10th and 90th percentile values for each variable of the baseline and coal resource development pathway (CRDP) set of simulations are reported, whereas the difference reflects the change attributable to the additional coal resource development, obtained from subtracting the median baseline value from the median CRDP value. Figure 5 summarises the difference in the median values of each groundwater balance variable for the three 30-year periods.
The dominant water balance terms are recharge and evapotranspiration. The recharge term in the baseline and CRDP simulations varies across the three periods due to changes in rainfall and evapotranspiration from the increases in temperature assumed in the modelling to reflect global warming (see submethodology M06 for surface water modelling (Viney, 2016)). However, the difference between the baseline and CRDP recharge in each 30-year period is predicted to be zero because the groundwater model does not account for changes in recharge that might arise as a result of mine subsidence or excavation of open-cut pits.
Evapotranspiration, on the other hand, is influenced by not just atmospheric conditions, but also the position of the watertable relative to the evapotranspiration extinction depth (a parameter in the model which approximates the maximum rooting depth below which vegetation and atmospheric processes cannot extract water). Since the hydrological change due to the additional coal resource development is through pumping-induced drawdown of the watertable around the mining operations, there is a difference between the CRDP and baseline simulations in each of the 30-year periods, which reflects changes in the area of watertable above the evapotranspiration extinction depth. While, intuitively, one might expect increasing drawdown to increase the area of watertable below the evapotranspiration extinction depth, model results indicate small increases in evapotranspiration under the CRDP. This is because the modelled redistribution of the watertable reflects the combined effects of hydraulic enhancement and landscape position and, as illustrated in Section 2.6.2.7 of companion product 2.6.2 for the Hunter subregion (Herron et al., 2018b), can lead to localised areas of higher watertable. It must be noted that these increases in the median 30-year mean annual evapotranspiration range from 0.5 to 2.1 GL/year, less than a 1% increase in all periods and much smaller than the difference in the 10th and 90th percentiles for the baseline for all periods.

Data: Bioregional Assessment Programme (Dataset 1)
The key water balance term for the mining impact is the mine pumping volume. The reported values are based on the 30-year annual mean extraction rates, which were inputs to the simulations. Between 2013 and 2042, the difference in the median 30-year mean annual pumping rates under the baseline and CRDP was 8.5 GL/year, a 46% increase on the baseline rate of 18.6 GL/year. Between 2043 and 2072, all baseline developments had ceased, thus the comparatively small change in the rate of pumping (1.1 GL/year) was due to the additional coal resource development. In the third period, no mining operations were occurring in the model simulations and there is no difference between the inputs to the baseline and CRDP simulations. The range of values, as represented by the 10th and 90th percentiles, reflects the modelled range using multipliers between 0.5 and 1.5 of the pumping estimates from mine environmental assessment reports (see Section 2.1.6 of companion product 2.1-2.2 for the Hunter subregion (Herron et al., 2018a)).
Figure 5 Change in the median value of each groundwater balance term due to the additional coal resource development
ET = evapotranspiration
Licensed extractions (under NSW's Water Management Act 2000) for non-mining uses, such as irrigation, stock and domestic, town water supply and industrial uses, were modelled in the groundwater model. It was assumed that extractions were the same under the baseline and CRDP (i.e. changes in mine water use under the CRDP do not affect water use by other licence holders). It was assumed that rates of extraction were at the maximum level permitted under each licence and that there was no increase in licensed entitlements into the future. Thus the non-mining groundwater extractions do not differ between baseline and CRDP in any of the 30-year periods.
Changes in other groundwater balance terms, caused by mine pumping and hydraulic enhancement, are reflected predominantly in the surface water – groundwater flux. This is the net volume of water exchanged between the regional aquifer and the river, calculated as the difference between groundwater flow to the river (i.e. baseflow) and leakage from the river to groundwater. In all three 30-year periods, the median of the 30-year mean annual surface water – groundwater flux under the CRDP is smaller than under baseline, indicating a reduction in baseflow in the river with more intensive coal resource development. Across the range (10th to 90th percentile) of modelled runs, this flux varies from about 30% to 160% of the median, which reflects the variation in modelled pumping rate, as well as the influence of varying hydraulic parameters and depth of the river in the model. The difference in medians attributable to the additional coal resource development varies from a decrease of 0.1 GL/year in the 30-year mean annual surface water – groundwater flux for the 2013 to 2042 period to a 0.9 GL/year decrease for the 2043 to 2072 period to a 1.2 GL/year decrease in the 2073 to 2102 period. This trend of an increasing impact over the three 30-year periods reflects a lagged response to mine pumping, which is at its maximum in the first 30-year period. In percentage terms, the reduction in groundwater flow to the river due to the additional coal resource development represents 0.2%, 1.8% and 2.4% of the groundwater flow to the river under the baseline for the three periods.
The boundary flow represents the net flux at the general head boundaries of the modelling domain. These boundaries were selected so that they have no impact on the predictions. The differences in boundary flows between the baseline and CRDP are much smaller than the difference in the 10th and 90th percentiles of the baseline indicating that the assumptions about these boundaries are valid. These boundary fluxes might be of concern if the volumes were large, but the volumes are small and therefore largely inconsequential in terms of quantifying the changes on the water balance due to the additional coal resource development.
The change in storage term is typically a balancing term in a water balance, and for a system in equilibrium should be on average zero. In the 2013 to 2042 period, both the baseline and CRDP show decreases in stored water due to pumping of mine water. The difference in stored water between the baseline and CRDP is significant, with almost 10 GL/year (67%) less stored water under the CRDP relative to the baseline. This largely reflects the greater losses from mine pumping under the CRDP. Once groundwater pumping ceases, the changes in storage under the CRDP and baseline are smaller, as is the difference between them.

De Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) (Chinees: 东方海外货柜航运公司) is de rederij van de Orient Overseas International Ltd. (OOIL) uit Hongkong, Volksrepubliek China. Op 24 juli 2018 werd de overname door COSCO SHIPPING Holdings afgerond, maar OOCL blijft onder eigen naam varen.

Activiteiten
Het beursgenoteerde bedrijf werd in 1947 opgericht in Shanghai door C.Y. Tung. De familie van de oprichter is nog steeds de belangrijkste aandeelhouder met bijna 70% van de uitstaande aandelen.

Op 9 juli 2017 deed het Chinese COSCO SHIPPING Holdings een bod van US$ 6,3 miljard op alle aandelen OOIL. De meerderheidsaandeelhouder in OOIL heeft al ingestemd met het bod. OOCL heeft een wereldwijd marktaandeel van 2,7%. Na de overname wordt COSCO de derde containertransporteur over zee ter wereld, na Maersk en Mediterranean Shipping Company. Na de overname heeft COSCO een vloot van 400 schepen met een capaciteit van bijna 3 miljoen TEU. Op 24 juli 2018 werd de overname afgerond.

Diensten
OOCL biedt wereldwijd containertransport aan, inclusief verschillende logistieke diensten. OOCL alleen neemt bijna de volledige omzet van OOIL voor haar rekening.

Lijndiensten
In 2017 transporteerden de schepen van OOCL 6,3 miljoen TEU. De belangrijkste vaargebieden zijn intra-Azië en van en naar Australië, de Trans Pacific en van en naar Europa. OOCL telde eind 2017 in totaal 102 containerschepen waarvan het grootste deel wordt geleased of ingehuurd.

OOCL werkte samen met andere rederijen in de G6 Alliantie en biedt hierdoor wereldwijd containertransport aan. Partners in de G6 Alliantie zijn onder andere Hapag-Lloyd, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines en Nippon Yusen Kaisha Line (NYK). Vanaf april 2017 gaat OOCL verder in de OCEAN Alliance met de partners COSCO, CMA CGM en Evergreen.

Tussen 2003 en 2007 kwamen twaalf containerschepen van de OOCL SX-klasse, van de Zuid-Koreaanse werf Samsung Heavy Industries, in de vaart. Deze SX-schepen kwamen in 2006 in het Guinness Book of Records als containerschepen met de grootste capaciteit van 8063 TEU. De voorlaatste serie containerschepen, de M-klasse, kunnen meer dan 13.000 TEU meenemen. Alle 10 schepen van deze klasse kwamen in 2013 in de vaart. In 2017 kwamen de nog grotere schepen van de G-klasse in de vaart, een serie van zes schepen waarvan de laatste in januari 2018 is afgeleverd. In mei 2017 werd de OOCL Hong Kong als eerste schip van deze klasse gedoopt. Het is gebouwd door Samsung Heavy Industries en kan 21.413 TEU vervoeren en is daarmee het grootste containerschip ter wereld.

OOCL heeft twee terminals in eigendom, de Long Beach Container Terminal in Californië en de Kaohsiung Container Terminal in Taiwan. Beide terminals hebben samen 2,7 miljoen TEU overgeslagen in 2017. Het heeft verder nog een aandelenbelang van 20% in de Tianjin Port Alliance International Container Terminal en de Ningbo Yuandong Terminal. Deze twee terminals verwerkten samen 5 miljoen containers.

OOCL Logistics
OOCL Logistics Ltd. (OLL), het deel van de OOIL-groep dat zich met cargo en logistieke dienstverleningen bezighoudt, werd gestart in 1979.

Bescherming van het milieu
OOCL werd als eerste containerrederij van de wereld gecertificeerd voor haar "Safety, Quality and Environmental (SQE) Management System" (deze omvatten ISM-Code, ISO 9001.2000 en ISO 14001). OOCL heeft sinds 2001 een brandstofspaarprogramma om kosten en de uitstoot van uitlaatgassen te reduceren. Initiatieven om het brandstofverbruik te verminderen zijn bijvoorbeeld weergeleide routesystemen, om de kortste routes veilig te kunnen bevaren.

Veiligheid
OOCL neemt deel aan het "Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program" (C-TPAT). Hier gaat het om vrijwillige overheids- en economische initiatieven, om coöperatieve betrekkingen op te bouwen. OOCL komt daarnaast ook overeen met de "International Ship and Port Facility Security Code" (ISPS-code) en het "Container Security Initiative" alsook met de "US Customs 24-Hour Advance Cargo Manifest Declaration Rule".

Under threat of poaching, habitat loss and fragmentation, jaguar populations are increasingly at risk. In Acre, Brazil, the Yawanawa have committed to protecting their central sacred species. To support their efforts, WISN sent Andrew Marshall (a Security Consultant with vast experience in protecting endangered and threatened species in Africa) to Yawanawa territory.
Marshall worked with WISN partner and tribal Chief Tashka Yawanawa to determine the most effective strategy to protect jaguars.
As part of WISN's Big Cat Alliance projects, Marshall will soon return to the Yawanawa Territory to begin security training as part of a long-term conservation plan with selected members of the community. The training will complement and build upon indigenous practices and knowledge. In bringing these two ways of knowing together, the jaguars may find sanctuary.
With your support, the Yawanawa community was able to purchase equipment including a new boat engine and supplies to build a watch tower. This is just the beginning.

by the readers of Cafe Society.
In a poll that pitted South Federal vs. Lower Highland, South Federal came away with 53.48 percent of the vote when polls closed at 11:59 p.m. Sunday night. The weekend-long voting was the culmination of Cafe Society's Street 16 neighborhood tournament, which began with a bracket of sixteen neighborhoods.
South Federal may not have the trendy restaurants of other Denver-metro 'hoods (Larimer Square, Boulder, Upper Larimer; all knocked out in earlier rounds), but the food in those restaurants and the support they received in the championship round pushed it to the top spot.
So pho, so good! The pho restaurants -- like Pho Duy and Pho 95 -- of South Federal Boulevard are just the start of the culinary pot-stirring along that stretch of road. You'll also find Vietnamese restaurants like New Saigon and Saigon Bowl that boast more expansive menus; Asian markets and bakeries that sell all matter of exotic ingredients (as well as some of those ingredients already rolled up into sandwiches); Chinese restaurants like Super Star Asian and Hong Kong Barbecue that have special, secret menus; other Chinese restaurants like Star Kitchen that roll out dim sum all day. And, of course, there's an endless array of Mexican options, from La Villa Real, a streetside taco truck, to mole-slinging Tarasco's to stands selling shrimp so fresh you'd swear you were on the coast.
Thank you for voting (!!!) and be sure to read our list of "Denver's ten best new restaurants," because it could shake-up next year's tourney.

Q: Battery selection I'm making a little robot and I can't find a proper battery for it. I thought about CR2032 but it has a very little max current output. I need a battery that can deliver at least 1600mA and a voltage of at least 6V, being as small as posible. Which can I use?
Edit
The voltage is trivial, I could use more than one battery.

A: Although it is not clear in the question, the fact you're looking at 'button' cells indicates you're having some space and/or weight restrictions. These are the same restrictions RC (remote control) hobbyists are having with their RC models, drones included.
LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries seem to be the standard for such uses because they have incredible capacity and current capabilities for their size/weight. This comes with some disadvantages that could be serious in some cases. LiPo cells can burst in flames or even explode if overcharged or short circuited and they can be permanently damaged if you drain them too much. They also need special chargers.
Another alternative is Lithium Ion batteries. The type used in cell phones and laptops. I haven't read up on them so I can't say anything with certainty but I'm under the impression that they are slightly safer than LiPos.


A rare independent property in Waikiki, everything from the quirky lobby features to the unpolished Brazilian hardwood deck enclosing the property's main pool and the hotel's signature scent, feels unique and not mass-produced. This includes the hotel's bar, The Study, which is aptly hidden behind a wall of revolving bookshelves in the lobby. The bar itself is filled with luxurious ottomans and maintains the hotel's minimal and sophisticated interior. Enjoy Happy Hour each day of the week from 6pm to 8pm, and live music nightly from 8pm.
