Irish mobile media technology firm NewBay has confirmed it has signed a contract worth several million euros with global mobile operator T-Mobile to provide the company with technology to power its European social media service MyFaves.
NewBay, which is currently one of the many Irish mobile companies attending the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, told Siliconrepublic.com that this is one of the largest single deals the company has made to date.
However, the company does already provide T-Mobile in the US with its LifeCache technology to power the mobile operator's online blog and album services.
Paddy Holahan, CEO of NewBay, explained that LifeCache is the family name for NewBay's products, which are all centred around user generated content (UGC), a strong growth area on the web and the mobile because the individual's life is increasingly lived online through the various services where they can share video, write blogs, update photos etc.
"UGC is the huge transition; it is what Web 2.0 is about. In 2010 it is estimated that 70pc of all content on the internet will be UGC, despite the presence of Hollywood films, the online music industry and online TV channels," said Holahan.
NewBay started off five years ago in order to specifically address this area but it wasn't until the beginning of 2007 that mobile operators began moving in this direction says Holahan, and this expertise is why NewBay is winning deals such as the one with T-Mobile.
"We look at the world though the eyes of the operator and the end user, so we offer branded services but of course users want to be able to use their network of choice for interoperability, as well as operators wanting to use their own services.


Google has released an open source framework for reinforcement learning (RL) based on TensorFlow, its machine learning library.
The Google Brain team has developed the framework with flexibility, stability, and reproducibility in mind.
Reinforcement learning – a branch of machine learning in which computer programmes learn to take actions to maximise a certain outcome or reward – has come a long way in recent times.
The best-known working examples of this type of AI come from DeepMind, the University College London startup that Google acquired for a reported £400 million at the beginning of 2014.
DeepMind's RL projects have included DQN, a programme able to master a range of Atari 2600 games and, more recently, the successful AlphaGo, AlphaGo Zero, and Open AI Five systems – all of which were able to play games beyond the ability of expert-level humans.
Developing RL systems often requires researchers to iterate designs quickly, sometimes disrupting established frameworks with no obvious path to follow to find a solution.
Writing in a Google AI blog published this week, Google researchers Pablo Samuel Castro and Marc Bellemare pointed out how flaws in this methodology can slow down the development process and restrict exploration.
"Most existing RL frameworks do not provide the combination of flexibility and stability that enables researchers to iterate on RL methods effectively, and thus explore new research directions that may not have immediately obvious benefits," they wrote.
The package from Google seeks to offer ease of use, tools that reflect the importance of reproducibility, and a raft of training data that will allow new researchers to benchmark their ideas swiftly against established methods.
More details can be found in the GitHub repo, named Dopamine.
As well as releasing its RL framework and training data, Google is launching a website that will enable developers to visualise training runs for multiple agents – a move that should save an incalculable amount of time for those exploring new avenues in RL.
"Inspired by one of the main components in reward-motivated behaviour in the brain, and reflecting the strong historical connection between neuroscience and reinforcement learning research, this platform aims to enable the kind of speculative research that can drive radical discoveries," said Castro and Bellemare.
The post A.I.: Google releases open source framework for reinforcement learning appeared first on Internet of Business.

Home > Outlook > Chinese LED Companies Listed on the OTCBB Benefit from Government Subsidies During 1H15

Chinese LED Companies Listed on the OTCBB Benefit from Government Subsidies During 1H15
Up to 80% of the Chinese companies listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin board (OTCBB) reported significant revenue growth as of Aug. 3, 2015, according to LEDinside observations.
Four LED companies listed on the OTCBB reported an accumulated revenue of RMB 258 million, and a net profit of RMB 23.35 million during first half of 2015, according to LEDinside's partial statistics on 45 OTCBB companies. Average profitability of the four companies was RMB 5.84 million.
Notably, the four OTCBB companies are LED manufacturers that have benefited from government subsidies. Excluding Shanghai Toplite Technology, which has not publicized the amount of subsidies it received, the accumulated subsidies for the three other companies was RMB 3.40 million. Subsidies amounted to at least 14.5% of these companies total net profit of RMB 23.35 million.

From left to right: Kamtatlighting, Shanghai Toplite Technology, Pengyuan Optotronics and Kunshan Sanjing Technology revenue. (LEDinside)
Although, LED Top Light did not publish its subsidy statistics, its financial statement stated the company was eligible for many government financial subsidies, and projected it would receive some of the subsidies it applied for. Additionally, the company will be confirm at a later date the subsidies it has received for the year.
Kamtatlighting, the only LED lighting manufacturer out of the four LED companies, received a mediocre subsidy of RMB 3,000. However, the company posted a net profit of more than RMB 7.50 million for the first half of 2015. In contrast, LED package manufacturer Pengyuan Optoelectronics RMB 3 million subsidy amounted to about half of the company's net profits during the same period.
Chinese government subsidies is not exclusive to the LED industry, but encompasses all companies listed on the OCTBB. About 130 out of 200 companies listed on the OCTBB have received subsidies, with total subsidies amounting to RMB 230 million, based on statistics compiled by Hithink Royal Flush Information Network. Subsidies comprise about 13.5% of these companies total net profits of RMB 1.7 billion. However, these numbers amounted to less than 10% of subsidies on the A shares market.
Government subsidies have benefited companies that are preparing to becoming listed on the OCTBB. Yet, from a long term perspective these subsidies will be canceled someday. In the meantime, the function of these Chinese government subsidies is mostly to support manufacturers and help put them under the spot light.

AS220′s vision for a local unjuried and uncensored forum for the arts was launched in a one-room rental above the Providence Performing Arts Center with a budget of just $800. Today, the non-profit owns and enlivens three mixed-use buildings, each one earning a Historic Preservation Award, in the heart of Providence'sdowntown. AS220 is credited as a national model for urban revitalization and has been recognized for its catalytic role in the revival of community in downtown Providence.
AS220 has earned a national reputation synonymous with an egalitarian, accessible approach to creative community – offering an alternative to the obstacles of conventional presenting venues. We provide an inclusive forum for any and all Rhode Island artists to share their original artwork embracing the full spectrum of the arts: theatre, dance, poetry, photography, music, printmaking, creative "hacking", painting, puppetry, and beyond.

The Spathiphyllum is super easy to care for making it one of the most common houseplants. These shiny green leaved plants normally bloom spring through summer. They prefer bright, filtered, natural light, but are tolerant of low light levels. Water your Spathiphyllum once a week. In warmer temperatures and/or higher light, watering twice weekly might be necessary. Just do not let the soil dry out!
Calathea plants thrive in humidity and prefer indirect light, and will grow best in a shady room. Place your plants away from any open windows with sunlight. You can provide ample humidity by placing the Calathea plant on top of a saucer filled with pebbles. Add water to the pebbles and the humidity will travel up through the pebbles into the pot towards the plant's roots. Calathea plants don't like to be heavily watered. Water the Calathea with room temperature water when the soil an inch below the surface is dry.
Your new ZZ Plant is an extremely easy houseplant to care for. It grows well in low or bright light but never direct sunlight. They are perfect for a windowless, fluorescent lit room. The ZZ Plant is drought tolerant and does not require a lot of water to thrive. Water only when the soil becomes dry. If your ZZ plant starts to turn yellow then you are probably watering too frequently. Fertilize one or two times in the summer with half strength houseplant fertilizer.
Zebra plants prefer household temperatures around 70°F and to like to be kept out of drafts. They need high humidity. Setting the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water, or regular misting, is key. The bracts will bloom in the summer time. The true flowers die within days, but the colorful bracts ranging from red, orange, and yellow can remain for months. Once the bracts begin to die they should be removed, and the plant cut back to allow room for new growth as you enter the new yearly cycle.
Place in bright but indirect light in an area between 65 and 75 degrees. When the top 2" of the soil is dry apply water until it drains through the bottom of the pot. Be sure to empty the saucer after it is done draining. Dracaena do not like standing in water. It is normal for old leaves to fall off, this creates the interesting canes Dracaena are known for. Fertilize monthly with liquid houseplant fertilizer according to package instructions. Dust with a damp cloth, do not use leaf shine on Dracaena. Repot annually into a slightly larger pot (about 1" larger) with fresh potting soil.
Place in medium to low light area, never in direct sunlight. Aglaonema are drought tolerant and do best with regular watering, however will tolerate a couple weeks without water. Water thoroughly when the top 2" of the soil becomes dry. Apply water until it drains out through the bottom of the pot. Be sure to empty the saucer after the plant is done draining. Aglaonema do not like standing in water or soggy soil. Fertilize once or twice a year using liquid houseplant fertilizer according to package instructions.
Your Silverbay or Algaonema can grow anywhere in your home or office. It tolerates both low and bright lighting. It does not need natural light to thrive making it perfect for an office with fluorescent lighting. Water keeping the soil evenly moist, fertilizing twice a year with a general purpose fertilizer. Not for human or animal consumption.
To care for your fiddleleaf fig, or ficus lyrata, place in indirect sunlight. Water when the top inch of soil is dry and fertilize once a month in the growing seasons.
The pothos' glossy foliage prefers medium to bright indirect sunlight, but can withstand any lighting situation. To water, wait until the soil is dry and then drench it. Avoid over-watering. It requires very little, if any at all, fertilizer. Keep the foliage clean with a damp towel. The pothos is easy to care for, making it a great houseplant for anyone.


In about 5-10 minutes, MoonClerk allows you to start accepting recurring and one-time payments online or in-person without any programming or implementation costs. MoonClerk works with small businesses and nonprofit in almost any industry. We'd love to have you Explore MoonClerk for free.
Pros: MoonClerk was suggested to me by my website designer to set up automatic monthly donations through our website. I connect it with Strive, so I have two software systems. For donors, it is easy to give a one-time or monthly donation, and it only takes a minute to give! The customer support was great, and they walked me through how to add it on our website. I'm not a tech-person, but I was able to follow the instructions easily. It is on the our nonprofit's website, and doesn't take you to a third-party website. The fee is based off how many donations you receive.
Cons: I had a donor that wanted to change the amount of her monthly giving, and that is something that I, as the administrator, had to do. There isn't a way for monthly donors to update their preferences.
Overall: I've seen an increase in online giving because it is so easy and professional.
I hope this helps. Feel free to shoot us a message if you ever need help with anything or have feature suggestions. Thanks!
Pros: there are a lot of payment solutions out there, but we were looking for something that worked for our small company. This did the trick and we have no regrets about using it.
Cons: no subscription option, which isn't a problem for us currently, but down the line it could cause some issues.
Pros: I love having payments automatically charged to my website hosting clients. Before, I invoiced monthly and had to wait for them to decide they were ready to pay. It's such a time saver for both me and my client now.
Cons: Setting up the Payment Forms took a little getting used to, but I got help with my use case and I'm set.
Overall: I looked into several different recurring payment platforms, and this was the only one that offered what I needed without paying for a payment processor + merchant account. I'm glad I found it!
Pros: This is a simple way to automatically charge customer credit cards on a recurring basis.
Cons: The interface is a little outdated looking, and the features may be too simple for some.
Pros: Seems to have some decent integrations other platforms don't have and enables things like coupon usage.
Cons: Had a struggle with getting moonclerk setup. My instance for some reason just didn't work, support was not able to resolve the issue and get it working.
Pros: We were able to use this software through one of our websites to collect money for our fundraiser. Allows you to accept payments in different forms as well as international payments. Found it to be very easy to setup and use.
Cons: Moonclerk prices vary by your volume of sales. As your sales start to increase, the price of the software does as well.

Warning, this column has spoilers for Doctor Who season 4, including the two final episodes.
This year at WisCon, the feminist science fiction convention, I was on a panel called Martha Jones: Made of Awesome or Disappointing Stereotype? I had hoped we would explore the different fan reactions to the way the writers handled Martha's character, story arcs, and race. The panel didn't turn out as I expected, but something Chris Hill said sparked a thought. He mentioned feeling that the Doctor's character was uneven–sometimes he's incredibly cruel and judgmental and other times he's compassionate and reluctant to do harm. My response was that I didn't see this as unevenness, I saw it as purposeful part of his character. I truly feel, particularly after the events of Season 4, that the writers want us to think that the Doctor is a complicated and deeply flawed person. He is, to be blunt, a jerk.
The Doctor may not recognize this about himself, but judging from the interviews contained in the Doctor Who: Confidential episodes, the writers and the actor do. I'd go so far as to say that they expect the audience to feel this way, too. Not that they want the viewers to hate the Doctor, but to understand that, for all his running around the universe and time making things 'better', he isn't always right. That's what makes him such a great character and hero–he's as flawed as we are and has just as much trouble admitting that to himself and others.
In Season 3, the Doctor sometimes acts horribly to Martha. Fans pointed out his propensity to yell at or speak harshly to her, his initial "just one trip" nonsense, and the complete thoughtlessness in bringing her to pre-WWI England (where her life would be far more complicated by her race) when he was hiding in "Human Nature". In the last episode, he recognizes that but never verbally acknowledges it. It isn't until Season 4 when he tells Donna how things went wrong with Martha and that it was all his fault that the viewers get solid confirmation that he understood that at all. Unfortunately, he didn't say it to the person it affected.
He fixes Jack's wristband so he can hop through time and teleport in "The Sound of Drums", but in the end of season 3 (and again in season 4) he takes that ability away claiming that "I can't have you running around with a teleporting time machine." Why not, exactly? Why is the Doctor the only one allowed to travel through time at will? There he goes being a jerk again.
In the very first episode after the Doctor's regeneration into #10 (David Tennant) he accuses Harriet Jones of committing genocide as if that's something he would never do. We know better. Even Rose knows better, though she gives Harriet an evil look, too. And for a moment, even I was tisking her. But just for a moment.
My initial instinct to side with the Doctor (before realizing he was being a huge hypocrite) is probably shared with many viewers. He is, after all, the hero of the show. He, very often, is an exemplar of what we should aspire to–bravery, intelligence, compassion, willing to do and stand up for what is right. American audiences, especially, are used to feeling that whatever the hero/heroine or protagonist of a story feels is right and correct, the writers are saying we should also feel is right and correct. However, what if that wasn't the case? What if, instead, the writers are presenting us with a character that we aren't always meant to agree with? Perhaps I'm giving the Who team too much credit, but I think they are trying to create a character that has depth and flaws but is not all flaw and wrongness. That would be too easy and not nearly as interesting.
Look at the scene in "Journey's End" (Season 4 finale) when Davros points out that the Doctor has turned all of his companions into weapons. "They're trying to help," the Doctor said, weakly defending himself, but he knew Davros was right. That countless people had died, sacrificed, and killed in his name. Yes, many of them were better people because of it. Rose realized a potential she might never have if not for her traveling; Jack was a coward and a con artist, now he's a hero of a different mold; Martha was already going places, but her experiences opened up avenues she would never have known existed. But still, when Davros called him "the man who keeps running, never looking back, because he dare not. Out of shame," he wasn't wrong. When Russell T Davies wrote that, he wasn't just creating some standard villain-speak. He was showing viewers the kind of character he (and the other creative team) created and saying: I meant to do that.
And even though the Doctor's soul is laid bare by one of his greatest enemies so that he can't help but face it, he keeps on being who he is. Doctor-clone has to go off to an alternate universe because "he's too dangerous to be left on his own." And who would know better? Passing judgment on himself is so meta, and yet oddly appropriate. It could be said that the Doctor was so tired of seeing the truths about himself that having a mirror of that around would have driven him off the deep end. But what he does next is, to many fans, inexcusable.
He takes away Donna's memories of him and everything she's done since she landed in the TARDIS on her wedding day in order to 'save' her. And he does this against her stated will. No matter how much the Doctor might say that he did it for her own good so that she wouldn't die, Donna said 'no' knowing that it meant her death. Anything was better, she felt, than going back to the way she was before. And the Doctor did it anyway. Because that's the kind of man he is.
It was a selfish thing to do. And confirms that, despite everything else that happened in the episode, he would remain who he was: a wonderful, amazing, selfish, thoughtless man burdened by survivor's guilt and crushing loneliness. The destroyer of worlds. It's no excuse for acting like a jerk, sometimes, but it's certainly a reason.
K. Tempest Bradford has an unhealthy obsession with the Whoniverse and has seen the final three episodes of season 4 far, far too many times.

Ron and Jenny Westwater have returned from hotter climes and bring us five colourful pictures from east Cornwall Many thanks to both of you.
66027 running towards Par 14.13 10th March 2015. Copyright Ron Westwater.
The Department of Transport has issued a Public Notice dated today 10th March 2016 indicating that FGW has proposed to discontinue the experimental passenger service that operates on the line between Westbury East Loop Junction and Hawkeridge Junction. The service will cease to operate from 15 May 2016.
PS I wonder how many trains use this loop at present? Can anybody from Network Rail tell us what this experimental service is please? Surely it is short sighted to remove this handy diversion route?
March 10th was a busy day. First down to Penzance for a precaution against high seas across Mounts Bay.
Once the tide abated there was time to grab a picture of the down sleepers from Mr William's daff field in Hayle. Visiting 57310 makes a fine sight heading the train away from the station stop. An added bonus was GWR liveried 57602 on the rear. (Permission given for these two shots).
Then followed the bridge bash at Tregoss Moor - reported yesterday.
Finally, a lovely Spring like shot of 66169 ready to depart St Blazey with the 6C53. Many thanks Craig.
If you click on Mikes website you'll find it covers not only railways but other forms of transport as well - below is an example.


Pierce Hardware dazzled at the presentation of the 22nd Annual Kappa Tablescapes, an event focused on benefiting Dallas County non-profits and the National Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation. Hosted by the Dallas Alumnae Association of Kappa Kappa Gamma, the first class event was held at the Dallas Country Club on October 17th, showcasing 53 of Dallas' top designers.
Pierce Hardware's Tablescape included a waterfall of exceptional faucets, inspired and designed by Cherryl Bittner Designs. Authentic top brand faucets from Phylrich, Franz Viegener, Eurostyle, Dornbracht and Gessi highlighted the arrangement as well as specialty hardware from Edgar Berebi and Classic Brass–cleverly disguised as tableware–stunned on-lookers.
While the fall brings an array of wonderful events, Kappa Tablescapes is always a Dallas favorite. Each October The Dallas Alumnae Association of Kappa Kappa Gamma hosts this unique two day event to benefit a selection of Dallas area beneficiaries. This year's recipients included: ACT- Advocates for Community Transformation, Austin Street Center, Connecting Point of Park Cities, For the Nations Refugee Outreach, Interfaith Family Services, Mercy Street, Methodist Hospital College and Career Pathways and Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation.

Cities are complex systems of infrastructures and entities, which are usually developed independently, focusing on their efficiency. Cities deliver various services, such as health care, education and transportation. These services are delivered through urban entities such as hospitals, schools, universities and care homes, each built and managed independently. As a consequence, even though there might be enough resources in the built environment, there might be a lack of access in terms of actual service delivery. This is due to the trend that many times urban innovation happens by building new instead of using existing resources in more sustainable ways. Recently, new digital technologies and platforms have emerged to enable the sharing of various resources. However, since resource sharing has emerged on the customer side, institutions are still largely controlling their own independent resources. This article analyzes opportunities for institutional resource sharing and the role of service operations and platform applications. The research reveals new opportunities for operating environments and proposes a new service-oriented model for organizing institutional service delivery and using cities as sustainable service platforms.


BY the second half of 2018 it was already clear that companies which include timepieces in their lineup (if not watchmakers altogether) are the top sellers in the global luxury goods market.
According to the Global Powers of Luxury Goods 2018 report by Deloitte, four companies (each with multiple brands) among the top 10 in the list of the world's best-sellers of luxury items either include watch brands in their portfolio, or are engaged solely in watch-making. And these four companies produce "serious" timepieces, too — not so-called fashion watches. Fact is, one other company in the top 10 list also create watches, although it forms a small part of its business.
On top of the Global Powers of Luxury Goods 2018 Top 100 list is LVMH, which, apart from its Louis Vuitton, Bvlgari, Fendi and Marc Jacobs juggernaut brands also count among its lineup proper watchmakers TAG Heuer, Zenith and Hublot (Bvlgari has proven it can do haute horlogerie, too). LVMH in fiscal year 2016 (the latest available figures) sold luxury goods worth $23.45 billion.
Placing third on the list is a company exclusive to watch brands — the Richemont Group. The owner of Jaeger-LeCoultre, Vacheron Constantin, IWC, Officine Panerai, Cartier, Piaget and Montblanc, among others, made $11.7 billion in luxury goods sales over the same period.
Ranked fifth is Kering. Part of its $9.37-billion take can be credited to Girard-Perregaux and Ulysse Nardin. Certainly, though, the bulk of the company's sales come from such luxury brands as Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga and Brioni.
The last entry engaged in watch-making to make the top 10 list is the Swatch Group (which counts in Omega, Breguet, Longines, Blancpain, Swatch, among others). The company, ranked seventh, sold $7.41 billion worth of its wares in fiscal year 2016.
Besides these groups with watch operations, comprising the top 10 ranking in luxury goods sales are The Estee Lauder Companies (cosmetics, fragrances; No. 2), Luxottica Group (eyewear; No. 4), L'Oreal Luxe (cosmetics, fragrances, etc.; No. 6), Ralph Lauren Corporation (clothing, fragrances, watches, etc.; No. 8), PVH Corporation (clothing, fragrances, etc.; No. 9), and Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Group, Inc. Combined, the top 10 companies generated sales of a little over $102 billion, or nearly half of the $217 billion total when sales of all 100 companies included in the list are combined.
Barely missing the top 10 list are Hermes (which also has a respectable watch division) at 11th place, and Rolex, which is ranked 12th. Hermes's sales are at $5.76 billion, Rolex's (including Tudor's) at $5.38 billion, the Deloitte report bared.
Other companies with watch-making operations as a significant component of its business — as opposed to those which just happen to include a fashion-watch division, like Michael Kors, Coach or Giorgio Armani — to make the Deloitte's top 100 ranking are Fossil (No. 22), Titan Company (No. 28), Patek Philippe (No. 45), Audemars Piguet (No. 51), Chopard (No. 53), Movado Group, Inc. (No. 60), Gerhard D. Wempe (No. 62), Breitling (No. 73), Franck Muller (No. 86), Festina Lotus (No. 90), and Richard Mille, which with its $228-million sales result puts it at 96th place on the list.
Time, and the business of timekeeping, is a luxury the discerning set can afford.
Starting the New Year with a new ride, all thanks to BMW.


Turn off the lights as well as your computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1st time in the world's history, Malaysia participated the 'Earth Hour' for 2009. There are totally 88 countries and more than 4000 cities joined the 'Earth Hour 2009'.
Ah, I believe that many residents especially in KL will support 'Earth Hour'. From what I saw last night in Miri, the housing area where I live, out of 10 houses, I think only 1 or 2 houses supported 'Earth Hour', disincluding me of course. No one gave it a damn about it!!!
Well, Malaysians, be supportive for next year!!! Just one hour, it won't kill you. You can die survive for 1 hour even without a candle as well. Safe mother nature as well as your electric bill! If you think one hour is not enough, go for 2 hours or so on, cheers. Do your own "Home Hour".


SNOHOMISH, WA: Big Trees, Inc. (http://bigtreessupply.com/), a large tree nursery and tree transplant company in the Seattle area, has transplanted a 30-foot Western Red Cedar tree onto the greens of a local, prominent country club.
Big Trees was contacted a year ago to evaluate the feasibility of transplanting the large Cedar to provide a way to block erratic golf balls that would occasionally come into a high traffic area. The Cedar was hand dug into a 12,000-pound root ball in one day, and tightened into a lift-able load with shrink wrap, burlap and rope. Afterwards, the receiving hole was dug with a tractor and made to match the necessary dimensions for the tree to be set in place with a large crane.
The next morning, the Cedar was rigged with a large 800-pound chain around the base of the root ball, and the tree was lifted vertically out of the hole and swung to its new location. The tree was then gently lowered and checked for height and lean of the tree as it touched down. Once all were satisfied with the appearance of the tree, it was detached from the rigging, and the final planting began.
Nancy Penrose is the owner of Big Trees Inc. (http://www.bigtreesupply.com), located in Snohomish, WA, in the Seattle area. The company is one of the largest tree nurseries in the Seattle area with over 120,000 trees available in over 300 varieties. They not only can deliver young trees but also mature trees in a wide range of sizes. Some types of trees available include spring flowering, deciduous, evergreen, and privacy trees. The company also does tree transplanting including large trees. Their blog can be seen at http://www.bigtreesupply.com/blog/ or http://arboristblog.com/. They can be reached at 360-563-2700.


I'm aware of the EOL notice governing the Brocade 48K.
My question is what is the EOL for blades themselves? Specifically, fc4-32 and fc8-48)?
Why do you expect that the FC8-48 is EOL in the near future?
I would assume that FC4-48 is more earlier EOL.
Is it just a double typo?
This was a customer generated inquiry.
As far as I know, FC port blades will go EOSL when the chassis they're installed in goes EOSL; there is not an specific EOSL date for each port blade.
Here EOL and EOS for follow Partn Number Blade.

John Skipper Kelly Fund
Home/John Skipper Kelly Fund
Supporting young people to enhance their skills & leadership potential
Our family established the John Skipper Kelly Fund in 2010, in memory of our father – John Skipper Kelly, who passed away in an accident on 30th December, 2010. John was a passionate man who affected many through his exuberance for life and his determination to make a difference where he could. In the latter part of his life, this was working with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Why we started a sub-fund with Sydney Community Foundation
The values of the Sydney Community Foundation align well with the JSK Fund. The SCF structure allows us to continue to raise funds, and distribute them to our preferred charities.
The focus of the JSK Fund is providing opportunities for young people from a range of backgrounds so that they may contribute to their communities in a positive way.
Over the past 9 years we've raised over $400, 000, much which we've distributed to projects and organisations in line with our mission.
In recent years we have supported the Aurora Project which arranges for law and social science students to undertake internships with indigenous organisations and the Oz Green Youth Leading The World program, which trains young people to tackle environmental problems facing the world today.
On 6 March 2021, we are hosting the JSK Ball in Sydney, celebrating 10 years of the JSK Fund and raising funds to continue supporting young people to use their skills to identify and address issues facing their communities. For more information visit our website at: http://jskfund.com.au/jsk-ball

Federal Reserve Board issues Final Rule modifying the Annual Assessment fees for its Supervision and Regulation of large Financial Companies | site |
(Information contained in press release issued by Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System: November 19, 2020) The Federal Reserve Board on Thursday issued a final rule modifying the annual assessment fees for its supervision and regulation of large financial companies, as required by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA).

The Government of the United States fully supports the U.S. companies identified on the list and encourages all U.S. businesses to continue to work with and invest in Israeli as well as Palestinian communities....

Переходя́щие пра́здники (также подви́жные, скользящие праздники) — христианские праздники, не имеющие фиксированной календарной даты, в отличие от непереходящих. Даты переходящих праздников зависят от дня празднования Пасхи (т. н. Пасхальный цикл), то есть определяются отдельно для каждого церковного года.

Привнесение церковного времяисчисления в народный (аграрный) календарь привело к тому, что в нём также появились «скользящие» праздники, даты проведения которых зависят от дня празднования Пасхи, например, Масленица, которая в церковном календаре обозначается как «сырная неделя», начинающаяся за 56 дней до Пасхи.

В названии многих переходящих праздников и памятных дат содержится слово «неделя» (церк.-сл.), которое употребляется как богослужебный термин и означает «воскресенье», «воскресный день».

Institute of Cancer Research Repository - Testicular dose and fertility in men following I-131 therapy for thyroid cancer.
Testicular dose and fertility in men following I-131 therapy for thyroid cancer.
Testicular dose and fertility in men following I-131 therapy for thyroid cancer. OBJECTIVE Young adults with differentiated thyroid cancer are treated with high doses of radioiodine and have an excellent long-term prognosis. However, there is limited information on the effects of this treatment on the gonads and fertility in male patients. We have reviewed the outcome of treatment in our centre with respect to male fertility. We have also assessed directly the radiation dose received by the testes. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of males attending the thyroid clinic at the Royal Marsden Hospital for treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer. A prospective study was also performed to assess radiation dose to testes in 14 consecutive patients attending for thyroid cancer treatment. PATIENTS Males under the age of 40 years at the time of treatment with a minimum of 3 years follow-up. MEASUREMENTS Number of children fathered by patients and number of congenital malformations. For the prospective study: gonadal function assessed by serum FSH, LH and testosterone measurements; radiation dose to the testes (Gy) measured by thermoluminescent dosimetry. RESULTS Fertility was assessed in 122 men with a median follow-up of 21 years (range 3-39) of whom 93 were under active follow-up. One hundred and six children were fathered by 59 patients; the remainder had no wish to have children. No major malformations were reported. Of these 59 patients, 12 had received a single 3GBq ablation dose, 19 had been treated with up to 14 GBq radioiodine and 28 had received up to 44 GBq. In 14 patients followed prospectively, the median estimated radiation dose to each testis was 6.4 cGy following 3 GBq, 14.1 cGy following 5.5 GBq and 21.2 cGy following 9.2 GBq. There was a transient elevation in serum FSH after radioiodine which normalized within 9 months from the last administration. CONCLUSIONS Radioiodine treatment for thyroid cancer may result in transient impairment of gonadal function. The radiation dose absorbed by the testis after a single ablative dose of radioiodine is well below that associated with permanent damage to germinal epithelium and the risk of infertility in these patients is minimal. Patients requiring multiple administrations for persistent or metastatic thyroid cancer may be at greater risk of gonadal damage although even in this group, we found no evidence of infertility.

Sadly parting with my fully restored Vanagon camper. I've owned it for 18 years. Runs GREAT, goes 70 mph all day long, no less than 60 mph up the steepest hills going to Tahoe. EVERYTHING works. Note, these pictures were taken before I installed the new heavy duty bumpers and swing away spare tire on back bumper.
New Jensen stereo/video player, auxiliary video screen mounted on ceiling, view movies from back or front, 4 speaker system that sounds GREAT.
Bed/Rear Seat reupholstered with Sunbrella "toast" canvas.
SUPER comfortable 8' lower bed mattress of laminated tri-foam (4" hi-density, 2" medium memory foam, 2" soft memory foam).
Large deep cycle marine auxiliary battery under back seat.
Class 3 tow hitch receiver integrated into Go Westy HD rear bumper.
Like new original snap on screen for rear.
Outside (driver side rear corner) connector for garden hose that runs off the 12v pump for dirty gear or dog wash downs.
This is the last year with the wood grain interior. I've replaced all the original vinyl door and side panels throughout the van with varnished birch panels.
Other spare parts, like radiator fan, pretty much anything that could strand you on a trip to the back country or Mexico, you have a spare to take with you just in case.
Comes with Tule Racks and an almost new black Rocket Box.
Will throw in a 9' Gordon & Smith white long board in new condition if purchased by a surfer that seems cool.

When the stories of our life no longer bind us, we discover within them something greater. We discover that within the very limitations of form, of our maleness and femaleness, of our parenthood and our childhood, of gravity on the earth and the changing of the seasons, is the freedom and harmony we have sought for so long. Our individual life is an expression of the whole mystery, and in it we rest in the center of all worlds.
"Don't think that a small group of awakened individuals cannot change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
"If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there's shouting after you, keep going. Don't ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going."
