Internet a growing tool for drug trafficking
The so called war on drugs is 100 years old this year, yet the taking of illicit drugs is showing few signs of coming under control.
The International Opium Commission, first convened in Shanghai in 1909 and since then the number of internationally-controlled substances has grown to more than 200. The United Nations' International Narcotics Control Board, in its annual report released yesterday, paints a picture of an ever-expanding and increasingly violent drugs market, with new trafficking routes being opened regularly, many of them in our region.
WATTERS: It will be an ongoing battle. I think it's like a lot of other things we face in life, poverty, discrimination and racism. It's a continuing battle. But certainly things would be a great deal worse if it hadn't been for what was launched in China in the year 2009 [1909]. For example, in 2009 [1909], there was, in China alone there was three thousand tonnes of morphine equivalent of opium being consumed. Now in the whole world today, there's not that much, including what's being used legally. So we know there's been a very significant downturn in the use of that drug, even though it's very much in the hands of very clever criminal syndicates, but we've certainly controlled it to a very large extent.
LAM: Your report also notes that the internet is playing an increasing role in the trafficking of legal and unauthorised prescription drugs. How is the Internet being used for drug trafficking?
WATTERS: Well Sen, like a lot of other areas in our modern life, we're having to cope with changes in technology and certainly the rapid movement of information and the free movement of information on the Internet allows for criminal syndicates around the world to plan their movements of drugs and place their orders using various sorts of cryptology, avoiding the open statement. Then on top of that, we have what we call the Internet pharmacy proliferation around the world and these pharmacies are very often, not all, but a significant number of fronts for Illegal organisations to allow controlled substances to be moved freely from country to country through the postal systems.
LAM: And indeed, with modern communications being so efficient now, the drugs do pass quite easily from country to country. For instance, your report pointed out that Chinese chemicals are being used by Canadian ecstasy manufacturers to make drugs which then end up being sold in Australia and Japan. So it's quite a daunting challenge, isn't it?
WATTERS: Yes, it's an international movement and certainly part of what we've been doing at the International Narcotics Control Board is seeking to control those precursors and we do very, very well in many ways, but when you think that a country like China with its vast numbers, they tell us they have got 50,000 factories there that are producing chemicals that could be diverted illicitly into the methamphedamine markets, so it's a huge task and the India similarly has a big task just to control these things.
LAM: So is there a sort of common attitude by world authorities towards drugs and drug use. For instance, the chair of Britain's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, Professor David Nutt, recently said that using ecstasy was no more dangerous than horse riding. So are we wasting resources by targeting drugs like ecstasy?
WATTERS: Well, with all due respect, I think he's being very foolish to even talk like that. One of the difficulties we face in many countries is to use the term recreational or party in relationship to dangerous drugs. We do know that more than 95 per cent of the member states of the United Nations are signatories to the convention and that covers 99 per cent of the world's population. So in principle, they all agree that we should control drugs, make available where necessary, but certainly not allow for the recreational use of these dangerous substances and to suggest that…there is so much medical evidence that these methamphetamine type drugs can have seriously long term psychotic affects. I suppose it could be said if you fell of a horse and landed on your head, that might be equivalent.

Ghost Story Games •
Ken Levine heads up Ghost Story Games
Philippa Warr
24th February 2017 / 3:36PM
Given Alice is not interested in any ghost stories which aren't terrifying movies she can freak herself out with while alone in the house, it falls to me to tell you about Ken Levine and other senior Irrational folk's new studio, Ghost Story Games [official site].
I'm not sure whether to call it a new studio or a rebrand, actually, as the site seems to position it as a new thing with familiar faces but their announcement tweet is: "The studio formerly known as Irrational Games is now called "Ghost Story"." Maybe it's more of an evolution or transition.There's not a lot known at this point because they are still sitting on their first game announcement, like game developer hens incubating an egg but there are some general statements which offer a bit of speculation fodder and the staff listings which reveal that a lot of core Irrational staff are part of this new venture.
"Ghost Story was founded by twelve former Irrational Games developers and our mission is simple: to create immersive, story-driven games for people who love games that ask something of them. While we believe our new games will have strong appeal to fans of BioShock, our new focus allows us to craft experiences where the gameplay is as challenging as the stories."
As for those twelve, these include the aforementioned Kenny L who's listed as president and creative director, plus Shawn Robertson (art director), Don Roy (executive director), Erik Irland (lead programmer), Emma Clarkson (associate producer), Seth Kendall (senior animator), Jeremy Carson (technical lead) and others.
For a few more snippets here are the team members talking about the studio and their work. A lot of it is vague and it's the sort of optimistic language you'd expect when people are setting out on new things and feeling reinvigorated so I found myself ignoring most of the statements because on the unannounced game front they could be everything or nothing at this stage. Tehy do state that "we are not working on a BioShock Game" though.
It is nice that a lot of people on there seem to be saying they feel like they have an impact on what's being produced and that work-life balance is important. I hope that's something they can maintain if crunch looms. They're also noting that Ghost Story has been participating in game-adjacent work to affect some change within the industry like sponsoring the Boston MIT waitlist of girls hoping to attend a Girls Make Games summer camp.
Picking through the statements it sounds like high production value story-driven games are very much the focus:
"Ghost Story for me is defined by a small but experienced team working together to push the boundaries of what interactive narrative means"
"Emphasis on making games with inspiring and intriguing story and characters, with a high quality bar for execution"
"The world and IP we are creating is richly specific and original, and conveys both wonder and nostalgia."
Ghost Story Games also has "a fully stocked kitchen". I know this because I read the benefits package.
Ken Levine is actually the keynote speaker at Rezzed (thus neatly allowing me to bring this article back round to my favourite subject – going to Rezzed!) RPS is only involved with the RPS bits of Rezzed so I'm as in the dark as any of you about whether he would be chatting about what Ghost Story Games are actually up to right now, but I'm hoping that he might. Or that he might have a version of the unannounced game running on his laptop when he asks me to look after it while he goes to the loo. That would work too.

Designed to fit the specific needs and specifications of the transportation department, BusConduct will help you gain control of on-bus behavior. Our flexible system allows referrals to be routed to specific school administrators for action or informational purposes only.
Classroom referrals are created by teachers and staff and routed to school administratrors for action and documentation. System admins control the referral reason lists and other configuration settings.
Seating charts can be created and managed online with our visual seating chart tools. Students can be assigned to specific seats. After making specific assingment, the remaining students can be automatically assigned by rule.
CONDUCTSUITE - Simple, effective, economic; code of conduct management.
We frequently request feedback from our customers, and what we hear most often -- and enthusiastically -- is how easy our products are to learn and use. When BusConduct is shown to technologically-shy drivers with no experience using computer-based applications, we're told they can usually enter a BusConduct referral with little or no training.
We'll always keep ease of use as a top priority, while continuing to implement new feature requests -- including richer reporting and customization options. While ConductSuites' focus remains student behavior management, the applications are almost infinitely customizable to track a variety of student, staff, or other types of incidents.
ConductSuite exists to make school districts' lives easier; we often hear customers say they couldn't imagine doing their jobs without it! BusConduct was our first Software as a Service (SaaS) product, originally developed in 1999. Eighteen years later the application has matured with input from hundreds of school districts contributing ideas for reports and functionality. Custom workflows and fields add high flexibility to meet district-specific needs.
Due to customer demand, we've expanded ConductSuite to include BusSeatingChart, a visual seating chart application and classroom-based ClassConduct. In our 20 years, we've rarely lost a customer, and never due to dissatisfaction with the application.
We want to earn your business, and invite you to call or email for a no-pressure, personal demonstration and price quote.
As Director of Online Services, Nathan is responsible for promoting and developing the District Conduct Suite. If you have question or need to schedule a demo, Nathan is your first point of contact. He also works with customers to prototype and develop new custom software applications. Some recent projects include; a SaaS Aircraft Maintenance System, a government application to track customer care for Job Service Boards, and custom application for a large water utility in New York City.
Desktop and Web Solutions Architect, Jules has developed several enterprise MS Access solutions. If you call with a technical question don't be suprised if Jules answers your call.


But wait, you're always expressing your opinion in Columbus' forum about how great your life is in Charlotte, hence my remark. I don't care what other opinions including yours are. Charlotte gets a bad reputation in the city vs. city forum, but that shouldn't move one's opinion based on all that criticism.
I don't like Flint, nor do I like Charlotte. I would take living in the North over the South. Did it for several years after college. "Why the heck would you want to live there?" Why do you care where people choose to live?
Sun Belt cities should be worried to some degree about maintaining their rapid growth rates. The pace of construction has long-term consequences that I don't think many, if any, of these cities are really prepared for.
And growth seems to be falling, whereas it is either rising or steadying out in Northern areas. Let's compare Charlotte and Columbus metros in terms of domestic migration.
Migration from Northern States to the metro.
Columbus actually attracted more migration from Northern states in the latest available period than Charlotte did, and the trends are in the complete opposite direction.
Migration from Southern States to the metro.
Again, while Columbus was still losing in the latest period, it was still improving over time. Charlotte was steadily downward and went negative in the most recent available period. It was losing a lot more than Columbus.
Overall total migration from all states.
So Columbus received more domestic migration than Charlotte in the latest period.
2009-2013 will be out soon, so it will be interesting to see if these trends have continued.
Yes, Detroit has fallen but it is still Cleveland and Cincinnati combined. If this issue was between another poster and me, then why did you make a remark concerning my rebuttal to this poster? Again, combine those two cities' populations, MSA's, and GDP, and you arrive at Detroit's population, MSA, and GDP. So why do you refute this?
Little Italy or you mean Tiny Italy? A light rail is being placed along Woodward in Midtown. No need to emulate UC. Hopefully it will be connect to robust pedestrian downtown cities which are across the metropolitan area such as Ferndale, Royal Oak, Berkely, Rochester, Pontiac, Birmingham, Wyandotte, Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Northville, and Plymouth to name a few. Sort of like your Akron. I am not a fan of the UC design. I prefer continuous buildings set on a street in a linear fashion, not a corporate circle with a pond.
I was mentioning that downtown Detroit has theaters with more seating capacity than Playhouse square, and I only named 3 which are in walking distance. Not sure how all of these theater do not constitute a theater district in your mind.
I was merely mentioning that there are grand theaters in Midtown as well. I wasn't combining it with the theater district downtown.
Reread your first post in response to my first post which stated if the OP wishes to find more amenities outside of Detroit, the OP should go elsewhere than Columbus.
I will agree with you that the roads in Ohio are in better shape, and that is always welcomed. So that's a nice change. Sort of like when you enter Michigan from Ohio, you would probably enjoy the scenery of two peninsulas, which would be a nice change of what you're used to seeing. Oh wait, I forgot, Edgewater Park and Hocking Hills....Oh, and do you need anything from the Detroit area? I don't mind bringing you something in case you don't want to order online.

Back to OP I actually like Detroit (actually in DET at moment), mainly the northern suburbs. Columbus has some nice neighborhoods and a nice town as I lived there for a few years and grew up nearby. I am not a fan how it seems to have a become big box retail and food chain haven on steroids tho.

Enjoy it while it lasts. From what I can tell, a large chunk of that growth was through annexation, the same way Columbus grew quickly in the 1950s and 1960s. Charlotte itself is a pretty insignificant city, artificially inflated by huge city limits. In reality, it is nowhere near Columbus.
Cleveland got the GOP. Does that mean Charlotte is on par with Cleveland? The convention in Charlotte was political, of course. They wanted to be in a Southern swing state, and NC has moved in that direction more recently. It doesn't mean anything as to the significance of the city.
It usually takes cities multiple attempts to get a convention. Columbus made it to the Dem's top 3 in the first try. Nothing to be ashamed about.
If Columbus and Charlotte were both 200 square miles, Columbus would have over 230,000 more people. That IS significant.
Columbus is a great city. It is growing and it is diverse. There always things to do. There are great educational institutions. Property values did not plummet as much as other areas. Cost of living is low in Columbus.
Humorous how you twist your explanation to fit your agenda. On your population twist, the census is only stat that matters otherwise the Cin-Day argument as the most populated area in OH has strong merit.
The Cin-Day thing is related to metro definitions. The two cities have, so far, not met those definitions/requirements. That has nothing to do with claiming to be a top 20 largest city because you've annexed yourself into having one of the largest city boundaries in the country. If Detroit annexed enough land, it'd be growing too, or at least higher on the ranking.

Notice that I said "Yearbooks" – Each class had a separate yearbook. The 8A (Sister Mary Kathryn Ann's class) yearbook was produced on purple ditto and seems to have fared well – this was my sister Margaret Mary, aka Maggie's class. The 8C (Sister Mary Corinne's class) yearbook appears to be printed using a very early photo-reproduction copier (aka "Xerox") and has really faded across the last 50 years.

WebRTC (Web Real Time Communications) promises easy interaction with others using just your web browser on a website. SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the backbone of Internet communications interconnecting many devices, servers and systems you use daily for your call. Connecting WebRTC with SIP/RTP raises more questions than what we already know, e.g., does interoperability really work? what changes do you need in the existing devices and systems? does the conversion happen at the server or in the browser? what are the trade-offs of doing the translation? what are the risks if you go full throttle with WebRTC in the browser? and many more. There is a need for a fair comparison to evaluate not only what is theoretically possible but also practically achievable with existing systems.
On one hand WebRTC enables the end-users to communicate with others directly from their browsers, on the other it opens a can of worms a door to many novel communicating applications that scares your enterprise IT guy. Existing enterprise policies and tools are designed to work with existing communication systems such as emails and VoIP, and employ bunch of edge devices such as firewalls, reverse proxies, email filters and SBCs (session border controllers) to protect the enterprise data and interaction from the outside world. Unfortunately, session-less WebRTC media flows and, more importantly, end-to-end encrypted data channels, pose the same threat to enterprise security that peer-to-peer applications did. The first reaction from your IT guy will likely be to block all such peer-to-peer flows in the firewall. There is a need to systematically understand the risk and propose potential solutions so that the pearls of WebRTC can co-exist with the chains-and-locks of enterprise security.
"WebRTC will have a major impact on enterprise communications, as well as consumer communications and their interactions with enterprises. This article illustrates and discusses a number of issues that are specific to WebRTC enterprise usage. Some of these relate to security: firewall traversal, access control, and peer-to-peer data flows. Others relate to compliance: recording, logging, and enforcing enterprise policies. Additional enterprise considerations relate to integration and interoperation with existing communication infrastructure and session-centric telephony systems."
One problem with the growth of SIP was that there were not many applications that demonstrated its capabilities beyond replacing a telephone call. This resulted in telephony mindset dominating the evolution in both standards and deployments. At the core of it, WebRTC essentially does most of what SIP aims for - peer-to-peer media flows and control in the end-points. Unfortunately, telephony influence in existing SIP devices, servers and providers have hidden that benefit from the end-user. There is a need to avoid such dominating telephony influence on WebRTC by demonstrating how easy it is to build communicating web applications, without relying on existing (and expensive) VoIP infrastructure.
Secondly, the open web is threatened by closed social websites that tend to lock the user data in their ecosystem, and force the user to only use what they build, go where they exist and talk to who they allow. This developer focused research is an attempt to go against them, by showing a rich internet application architecture focused on application logic in the end-point and application mash-ups at the data-level. It shows my 15+ crucial web widgets written in few hundred lines of code each, covering wide rand of use cases from video click-to-call to automatic-call-distribution, call-queue and shared white-boards, and my web applications such as multiparty video collaboration, instant messaging/communicator, video presence and personal social wall, all written using HTML5 without depending on "the others" (imagine tune from lost played here) - the others are the existing SIP, XMPP or Flash Player based systems.
"We describe a resource-based architecture to quickly and easily build communicating web applications. Resources are structured and hierarchical data stored in the server but accessed by the endpoint via the application logic running in the browser. The architecture enables deployments that are fully cloud based, fully on-premise or hybrid of the two. Unlike a single web application controlling the user's social data, this model allows any application to access the authenticated user's resources promoting application mash-ups. For example, user contacts are created by one application but used by another based on the permission from the user instead of the first application."
Continuing the previous research theme, this research focuses on enterprise collaboration and enterprise social interactions. The goal is to define a few architectural principles to facilitate rich user interactions, both real-time and offline in the form of digital trail, in an enterprise environment. In particular, my proof-of-concept project described in the paper shows how to do web annotations, virtual presence, co-browsing, click-to-call from corporate directory, and internal context sensitive personal wall. The basic idea is to separate the application logic from the user data, keep the user data protected within the enterprise network, use public web as a context for storing the user interactions and build a generic web application framework running the browser.
"We describe our project, living-content, that creates a private overlay of enterprise social data and interactions on public websites via a browser extension and HTML5. It enables starting collaboration from and storing private interactions in the context of web pages. It addresses issues such as lack of adoption, privacy concerns and fragmented collaboration seen in enterprise social networks.

Netflix has announced the cancelation of the comedy series "One Day at a Time," which included legendary television showrunner Norman Lear among the executive producers. The annoucement led to #SaveODAAT and #OneDayAtATime becoming trending topics on Twitter as fans of the show shared their disappointment at the decision.
"At my age, I can testify that you are never too old to have your heart broken," said 96-year-old Lear in a statement posted on this Twitter account. "I'm also convinced love and laughter add time to one's life."
"I am grieving for the terrible loss of my beloved character, Lydia, on '@OneDayAtATime'," posted veteran actress Rita Moreno on Twitter following the announcement. She portrayed Lydia Riera on "One Day at a Time."
Among the critics of the decision to cancel "One Day at a Time" was entertainer Lin-Manuel Miranda, best known as the man behind the hit Broadway production "Hamilton."
It's been a great honor to work with the legendary Norman Lear on One Day at a Time. I've personally spoken with Norman, and co-creators Gloria Calderón Kellett and Mike Royce, to express my gratitude to them, all the writers, the dedicated crew and the cast including the brilliant Justina Machado and dazzling Rita Moreno for creating a series with such humor, heart and humanity. This was a very difficult decision and we're thankful to all the fans who've supported the series, our partners at Sony, and all the critics who embraced it. While it's disappointing that more viewers didn't discover One Day at a Time, I believe the series will stand the test of time.

June Bug has been asking me what we should put up now that the Christmas decor is long gone. As a mom, I'm always pressed for time and I've made it one of my goals to spend more time doing things with people I love, like my daughter! To sneak some quality time in and give our space some new life, we did a super fun and simple DIY heart garland project over the weekend in preparation for Valentine's Day.
June was super excited to wear her "A Girl's Best Pal" dress for the first time, the perfect dress for arts and craft day. I loved seeing June's eyes light up when she saw what she had created. I hope your little ones light up just the same way when you try it out with them.
It's ok, embrace those imperfect cuts.
June's imperfect cuts were just perfect!
knot the bottom of the first one so it's anchored. We used hemp string that's sturdy and has a stiff texture so it's easier to string through the little holes. It's important that the cord fit snuggly into the 1/8" punched holes so that the hearts stay in position.
but first, a celebratory dance!
You can tape them vertically or horizontally against the walls, above a door, or even across your bed's headboard.
Depending on the colors and paper textures you choose, the possibilities of this project is endless. I hope you enjoy this project as much as June and I have. I can't wait to see what you create with your little ones - tag #EleStoryDIY for a chance to be featured!

JUDGMENT, all judgment is in the hands of Jesus Christ (John 5:21-22). There are different judgments, and one is for believers, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body…." (II Corinthians 5:10, Romans 14:10) When Paul said, "we", in this passage it shows it was for Christians, and this judgment is for rewards. All our punishment for our sins was put on Jesus. Who died for our debt, but at the "judgment seat of Christ" it is for rewards. However there will not only be praise at this judgment seat (Luke 19:16-27), but there will be lack of praise, there will be rewards and there will be lack of rewards (I Corinthians 3:11-15); there will also be those with "confidence" and those who will have "shame" (I John 2:28).
There is also the "great white throne" judgment for the lost (Revelation 20:11-15). "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." (See SIN).
There is a judgment of the nations, "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:" (Matthew 25:31-32) The time is at the second coming of Christ, and believed to be here on earth at the end of the Great Tribulation but before the millennial 1000-year reign of Christ. Here the lost will be separated from the saved, with the saved entering into the Millennium. Those who are still alive at the end of the Great Tribulation will not be raptured or have to die in order to enter the 1000-year reign of Christ here on earth. (Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43, 47-50, see END TIMES, see MILLENNIUM, see RAPTURE).
We are told not to judge, "Judge not, that ye be not judged." (Matthew 7:1-5) Those who have done wrong or are hypocrites will be shown in front of others when Christ comes. "Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come…." (I Corinthians 4:5, Romans 14:10) If someone is sick or has problems, we should not judge the person as being chastised by the Lord for his sin, because we do not know! (John 9:1-2) There are many factors that we do not know, including motives. However, Jesus also said, "judge righteous judgment." (John 7:24) Today if you tell someone that according to the Bible what they are doing is wrong, they may respond, "You're not to judge". I am not their judge, nor am I judging them, but saying what is wrong according to God's Word. If someone sees his neighbor who is rich and thinks to himself, "He must have done something dishonest to have all that money," that would be judging. For we do not know how he received his money, perhaps he inherited it or worked hard for it. But if someone sees a man rob a bank and says, "He stole and that is wrong", that is a fact, or "righteous judgment".

Advances in surgical technique, anesthesia and analgesia, and postoperative supportive care have emboldened surgeons to consider an expanding spectrum of patients for surgical interventions. In most instances, the success or failure of the surgery is defined not in the operating room, but postoperatively, when the adverse effects of surgery may first become apparent and when intercurrent complications may jeopardize the patient's recovery. The respiratory system is particularly vulnerable to the effects of general anesthesia and surgery, and postoperative respiratory impairment is common. While generally mild and well tolerated in otherwise healthy, young patients, postoperative respiratory compromise may have serious consequences in the elderly and in patients with preexisting lung disease. A number of postoperative complications, such as pneumonia, aspiration pneumonitis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) may lead to respiratory compromise independent of the patient's pre-surgical status.
This chapter focuses on the most serious consequence of perioperative respiratory compromise—acute respiratory failure. This complication is associated with a 30-day mortality rate in the range of 25% following major surgical procedures, compared to approximately 1% for unaffected patients.1,2 In addition to its adverse impact on survival, respiratory failure prolongs intensive care and hospital stay, delays convalescence, and increases health care costs among survivors. Clinicians who provide preoperative evaluation and postoperative care must be able to identify high-risk patients who require a greater degree of vigilance, and to rapidly recognize and appropriately treat the complications that result in postoperative respiratory failure.
Several calculators have been developed to estimate the risk of postoperative respiratory failure. All were constructed based on data derived from large national databases, but, notably, none has been externally validated. Furthermore, these calculators share a common definition of postoperative respiratory failure as mechanical ventilation beyond the initial 48 h following surgery or need for reintubation. This definition fails to distinguish patients requiring what most physicians (and patients) would consider to be an acceptable period of limited postoperative ventilatory support from those who truly would require prolonged ventilatory support and its attendant risks and complications. Arozullah et al. developed the first major calculator to focus specifically on respiratory failure, utilizing a database of more than 81,000 cases from 44 Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals in their derivation cohort.3 Respiratory failure developed in 3.4%. The type of surgical procedure was the strongest independent predictor of postoperative respiratory failure; those with the highest odds ratio for developing respiratory failure included abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, thoracic surgery, upper abdominal surgery, and neurosurgical procedures. Other independent variables included in the derived risk calculator were emergency surgery, albumin <3.0 mg/dL, blood urea nitrogen >30 mg/dL, partially or fully dependent functional status, history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and age 60 or greater. Points assigned to each of these parameters are shown in Table 103-1, and the predicted risk of respiratory failure based on cumulative points ...


4tpi is suitable for cutting wood from 20mm thick and above with a fairly decent finish, 6tpi for cutting wood from around 10mm thick and above and will leave a better finish than the 4tpi or 10tpi is suitable for cutting wood from around 6mm thick and above with a pretty good finish but with a slow speed of cut on thicker stock.
The 1/2" x 6/10 M42 is a very popular general purpose blade as it has sections of 6tpi and 10tpi which makes it a very versatile blade with a great blade life.
Another very popular blade for general purpose cutting is the SuperTuff Premium 3/4 Vari-Tooth which has sections of 3tpi and 4tpi. This blade gives a nice clean cut and is suitable for cutting wood from around 10mm thick up to the maximum thickness that the bandsaw can cope with but with a similar finish to a 6tpi blade.

The Future Of Diesel Generators
Hassan Latif ButtUncategorized May 6, 2022
Diesel generators (DGs) are respected across the world for their durability, portability, and simplicity. Their Achilles heel has always been their tendency for both noise and air pollution. Releasing nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM) and non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) into the air. Nevertheless, DG operators throughout the globe have historically seen the machines' merits as outweighing the risks.
Ultimately, the future of diesel generators is intimately related to the greater argument between the demands of industrialization vs the requirements of the planet. While that conflict is being conducted largely between the governments of the globe and their populations. The war over diesel generators is playing out between governments and DG producers in the shape of ever-stricter rules on the technology.
These are incredibly complicated concerns; nevertheless, by peering into the future and analyzing a few of the important environmental, political, and industrial developments. Influencing diesel generators now, we may at least make an informed estimate about what the future holds for them.
Current Diesel Generator Predictions
As we pointed out in a previous article, diesel generator sales are trending up over the near-term. They're predicted to grow steadily to more than $21 billion in the U.S. alone by 2022, up from $12.6 billion in 2014. This is despite substantial obstacles, including low commodity prices that lower demand in commodity-dependent emerging nations. As well as falling costs of rival energy sources that are more ecologically friendly.
That is an astounding degree of growth by any standard, and the foreign statistics are anticipated to outpace domestic growth. In December 2013, the U.S. Energy Information Administration estimated that emerging nations will account for 65 percent of world energy usage by 2040. Since they will witness the highest population increase. As the most effective type of backup power, DGs are prepared to play a vital part in that energy scenario.
Incidentally, China–itself officially a developing nation, according to the World Trade Organization–is now the world's top producer of carbon emissions. But it also produces 25 percent of its energy from renewables. Many pundits have pointed out that as a major diesel genset market.
DGs And Sustainability
Yet practically every nation in the world, including China, knows that sustainable energy generation is the future. And diesel generators have already begun to reflect changing environmental protection legislation. And changing customer preferences through developments in diesel technology.
Hybridized versions of diesel generators is one fast-growing section of the industry. In which diesel engines are paired with batteries, natural gas, solar panels or other renewables. In these systems, the engine only kicks on to charge the battery or manage peak demands. These improvements optimize efficiency and minimize run durations, enabling reduction of emissions of upwards of 80 percent . There are also early data that adding hydrogen infusion to diesel engines might result in lower fuel usage and up to 90 percent less NOx emitted.
While these adjustments limit the usage of diesel, they don't eliminate fossil fuels totally. Solutions like the restaurant waste oil-eating Vegawatt have been operational for at least a decade. But remain a limited section of the industry at best because of their specific demands and typically expensive up-front expenses.
Diesel Gensets Losing Ground To Renewables
Even with improvements, DGs may not be green enough to rescue them in the perspective of some customers. Thus, some of those seeking for energy sources are skipping over the latest diesel genset technology and opting for renewable energy.
For example, a recent two-week trial at a railway station in South Wales integrated 97 percent solar and battery electricity. And in a recent announcement of a breakthrough in generating electricity using ammonia in alkaline fuel cells. UK-based AFC Energy made a point of comparing their technology with the toxic fumes given off by DGs at many construction sites.
But the smaller, portable generator industry (generators up to around 20 kW) is susceptible as customers get acclimated to generators at places that are quieter and maintain better air quality. So although bigger, backup and emergency DGs that deliver electricity to buildings and heavy machinery are more severely regulated. It may be entirely market factors that determine the future of mobile generators.
Diesel gensets are presently the most dependable alternative for temporary or transportable electricity due to its modular, scalable and weather independent functioning. Following several years of instability and lower demand caused by declining commodity prices, 2017 & 2018 has witnessed a recovery to profitability for the majority of manufactures and rental providers, with instances highlighted in the table below. Despite this outstanding performance more stricter emission laws, environmental concerns and unpredictable fuel prices might now create a compelling argument for genset hybridisation with renewable technology. IDTechEx's forthcoming research 'Diesel Generator Set Future Developments and Alternative Technologies 2019-2029'. Analyses the future market in the light of the expanding usage of natural gas gensets as well as the different alternative low/zero emission technologies that are available.
With their cheap up-front costs and round the clock power availability, it is easy to understand why diesel gensets have grown within industries such as mining, oil & gas, telecoms and military. Recently the decreasing costs of solar implies that replacing at least a fraction of established genset capacity with solar panels and/or battery storage systems. Can have payback times as low as 2-3 years. In this paper the increased future demand for diesel gensets is simulated. Alongside the market penetration of other power producing technologies. Such as solar, wind and fuel cells. Profiles and interviews with prominent genset manufacturers and renewable technology developers are provided as well as market segmentation by region and genset size.
It is commonly agreed that there is a rising energy supply – demand imbalance globally, which some predict will be approximately 100GW by 2020. The analysis believes that this will provide advantageous conditions in the short term for diesel genset utilization. Which will see the market value continue to rise, but not necessarily to pre-2014 levels. In the medium to longer term, a more complicated mix of market variables will eventually decide installed capacity globally. For more information and more extensive analysis please refer to the future publication.

Q: Fileprovider always throws IAE I looked at all the answers on StackOverflow and there no answer for me.
Same error for real device and emulators.
Fileprovider always throws IllegalArgumentException
There is Manifest
<application
   ...

    <provider
        android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
        android:grantUriPermissions="true"
        android:exported="false"
        android:authorities="${applicationId}">
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
            android:resource="@xml/filepath"/>
    </provider>

</application>

There is filepath.xml
<paths>
<files-path
    name="logs"
    path="logs/" /></paths>

And there is code which always throw exception
        final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        emailIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

        File file = new File(logger.getFileName());
        Uri uri = null;
        try {
            uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(getContext(), BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID, file);
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

logger.getFileName() - returns real file name for example: "logs_22032019.txt"
What I already tried:
Changes in Manifest such as:
   android:authorities="com.realname.of.package"
Changes in filepath.xml
name="logs"

*

*1) same name of file 2) just /
path="logs/"

*1) . 2) / 3) full path 4) files 5) /files 6) files/ e.t.g
What I'm noted - there is really the path of files:
/data/user/0/com.app.realname/files/log.txt

But FileProvider in it goes to:
"log.txt" -> "/data/data/com.app.realname/files/log.txt"-->

NOTE: I need only INTERNAL storage.

A:
logger.getFileName() - returns real file name for example: "logs_22032019.txt"

That is not a valid filesystem path. It is a valid filename, but it does not say where that file is supposed to be on the device.
This is your FileProvider configuration:
<files-path
    name="logs"
    path="logs/" />

For that, a File that would work is:
File file = new File(getFilesDir(), "logs/"+logger.getFileName());

there is really the path of files... But FileProvider in it goes to

Those are the same filesystem location, for the primary device user.

Everybody's Famous (Iedereen Beroemd!)
EPPC Online
By James Bowman
Dominique Deruddere's Everybody's Famous! (Iedereen Beroemd! in his native Flemish) is a rather charming little movie, though without enough of a sense of detachment from the dream of pop music fame which it otherwise makes fun of. Some will say it is condescending, but I don't think it condescending enough, at least in this sense. Nothing is easier in the world than poking fun at the eagerness of our contemporaries to become famous, but, like Hollywood "satire," Mr. Deruddere's proves quite as star-struck as the simple folk whom it purports to satirize. We get the idea, actually, that the kind of fame they lust after is almost unproblematic, and its presentation of the extraordinary lengths to which they will go to get it is just a case of observing that people are funny.
There is also a sort of continental, left-wing style of politics lurking just beneath the surface of this movie. It holds that bosses typically "exploit" their workers and that, indeed, working in a factory is "hell"—so that anything which provides a man escape from that hell must be OK. "We have the right to take revenge," says Jean (Josse De Pauw) to his friend Willy (Werner De Smedt), referring to their recent lay-off from a bottling factory. "The bastards threw us out overnight." The opportunity for revenge—not against the bottlers but against the system in general—comes unexpectedly as Debbie (Thekla Reuten), an attractive young Euro-pop idol to the ever inscrutable Belgians, comes bicycling down the highway alone just as Jean's old banger breaks down. As Debbie's real enthusiasm is not music (as we might have guessed anyway from the junk that she sings) but car engines, she stops to help and Jean kidnaps her.
To an American audience, there must be some considerable potential for interest in this material—the image of a pop-star as a lone cyclist on a flat and empty Belgian road, untrammeled by handlers or hangers-on. Maybe, after all, fame is not exactly what Jean—and we—suppose. But Deruddere can't think of anything to do with it but recycle the highly dubious moral of Notting Hill, which is that celebrities, especially female ones, are really just sweet and lovable girls-next-door who long for normal relationships with regular guys. Nor is it exactly big news that the pop music industry can almost effortlessly repackage even Jean's unattractive and spectacularly untalented daughter, Marva (Eva van der Gucht), as the next new sensation when such a feat becomes Jean's ransom demand.
There is a certain charm struggling to break through the carapace of all this sentimentalism and faux cynicism, and Josse De Pauw is a wonderful actor who can make us believe in Jean's peculiar sort of desperation as few others could. Miss Van der Gucht is also superb in making Marva unattractive, both morally and physically, without making her unsympathetic. The script, also by Mr. Deruddere gives both a fair bit of comic leeway to draw us in. But in the end the meretricious world of pop-stardom, particularly as we are led to believe it exists in Belgium, is just too disgustingly tawdry for us to regard with any patience people who treat it—as everybody in this movie does—as the summit of worldly ambition. Even Debbie, who is obviously intended by nature to be a mechanic and not a chanteuse, is regarded as little more than a joke for giving up being the latter for the former.
But those who share this movie's dubious values will probably find it entertaining.

Video: Crowley Now Authorized to Import LNG for Distribution in Pacific Northwest and Alaska
(JACKSONVILLE, Fla.; Nov. 10, 2015) – Crowley Maritime Corp.'s petroleum distribution group has been granted approval by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Energy Board – Canada (NEB) to import Canadian-sourced liquefied natural gas (LNG) for supply, transportation and distribution throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.The renewable, two-year import and export licenses now allow the company to import up to 2.12 billion cubic feet (BCF) of LNG via truck in 10,700-gallon ISO tanks or in bulk via ocean-going vessels.
"This approval is an important step in expanding Crowley's capability to provide LNG for the Pacific Northwest and Alaska markets, building on the company's existing service offerings in the region," said Crowley's Matt Sievert, director of business development, LNG. "It's exciting for many of our commercial and industrial customers because the availability of LNG has been very limited in the past, and it's another opportunity for us to prove that we're a total solutions provider in the energy and logistics industries."
The company is now working to secure long-term, 25-year licenses with the DOE and NEB. At the same time, Crowley is actively monitoring the development of Alaska LNG supply projects, which would be a closer source to the Alaska interior markets.
View this video to learn more about Crowley's LNG business. From the sourcing and transportation, to the delivery into the equipment, the entire LNG supply chain will be seamless for Crowley's industrial or commercial customers. The transportation from Canadian-based liquefaction facilities to customers' storage units will be managed by Crowley's logistics experts, coordinating over-the-road transportation and shipping via barge to Alaska. From there, Crowley's Alaska distribution team will deliver LNG directly to customers' facilities, where it can be re-gasified into pipeline natural gas for power generation, and mining, marine and industrial applications.
Similarly, in 2014, Crowley's Carib Energy was granted a 20-year, small-scale U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) export license for the supply, transportation and distribution of LNG into Non-Free Trade Agreement (NTFA) countries in the Caribbean, Central and South America. The licensing permits Crowley to export 14.6 billion cubic feet (BCF) 0.04bcf/d of LNG – roughly the equivalent of 480,000 gallons – per day via 10,700-gallon ISO tanks to these regions.
Crowley in Alaska
Crowley, which has been serving Alaska for more than 60 years, currently operates 22 fuel terminals in western Alaska and the rail belt, with over 265 employees. The company continues to position itself as a leader in the Alaska fuel industry, providing transportation, distribution and sales of petroleum products to more than 280 communities across Alaska. Crowley also supports the energy industry on the North Slope with summer sealifts of large production modules and various marine transportation services. At the southern terminus of the trans-Alaska oil pipeline, Crowley provides tanker escort and docking services in Valdez Harbor and Prince William Sound for Alyeska Pipeline Service Company's Ship Escort/Response Vessel System, utilizing some of the most technologically advanced and powerful tugboats in the world.

Home Movies Director-Actress Penny Marshall Dead at Age 75, Star of "Laverne and Shirley"...
Director-Actress Penny Marshall Dead at Age 75, Star of "Laverne and Shirley" Made "Big," "A League of their Own"
by Roger Friedman - December 18, 2018 1:50 pm
Very sad to report the death of Penny Marshall, at age 75. She was just great. For many years we were very friendly. Twenty years ago this February we fought over a framed Stevie Wonder poster that was in a silent auction at the Rhythm and Blues Pioneer Awards. That's how we met. (I got it, in the end, but Penny coveted it. I still remember her dancing with the Supremes' Mary Wilson that night at Sony Culver Studios. We had a ball.) We also shared Carrie Fisher and Lorraine Bracco in common as friends.
Penny loved her brother, Garry, too, and they had a unique history. Penny played Jack Klugman's hilarious secretary Myrna on "The Odd Couple." Then Garry spun her off "Happy Days" in "Laverne and Shirley." From there they each became directors of hit movies. Penny made "Big" with Tom Hanks and "A League of Their Own" with Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O'Donnell, and Madonna. Her other great movie was "Awakenings," with Robert De Niro and Robin Williams.
That voice! It was famous all over the world. Penny was a real curmudgeon, and so bright, and so much fun. She and Carrie Fisher were really seriously BFFs. It's hard to believe they're both gone. And Garry Marshall, too. They were originals, droll, quick, and will never be replaced but always missed.
