1. Technical Field
[0001] The present invention generally relates to temperature forcing systems, which provide a stream of fluid at a precisely-controlled temperature and flow rate, and are commonly used in temperature testing of electronic devices, modules and systems, and, in particular, to a temperature forcing system which uses heat flow by conduction instead of convection to apply temperature control of a device under test (DUT) with increased efficiency and spatial precision.
2. Discussion of Related Art
[0002] A temperature forcing system is a device which produces a stream of flowing fluid, such as air, nitrogen or other inert gas, at a precisely-controlled temperature and flow rate. Such systems are commonly used in temperature testing of electronic devices, modules and systems. In this application, a stream of temperature-controlled fluid is directed onto the device under test (DUT) to affect the temperature of the DUT. The DUT is then run through a series of performance tests to determine whether the performance of the DUT at various temperatures is acceptable.
[0003] These temperature stream testing systems use convection heat transfer to control temperature of the DUT. Oftentimes, it can be desirable to direct the temperature altering mechanism, i.e., stream, precisely, such that only the portion of the DUT actually being tested is affected by the temperature stream. This can result in a reduction in lost temperature control fluid, and, therefore, a more efficient testing system and process.
[0004] According to one aspect, a temperature-controlled fluid forcing system is provided. The system includes a temperature control system for cooling and/or heating a fluid and generating a stream of flowing temperature-controlled fluid. A conduit directs the stream of flowing temperature-controlled fluid through a first outlet. A heat exchanger receives the stream of temperature-controlled fluid from the first outlet. The heat exchanger comprises: (i) a thermally conductive housing having an interior and an exterior, (ii) an inlet at which the stream of temperature-controlled fluid is received, such that the stream of temperature-controlled fluid is directed into the interior of the housing, (iii) a plurality of walls within the interior of the housing, the plurality of walls defining a shaped flow space within the interior of the housing, the inlet being in communication with the shaped flow space such that the stream of temperature- controlled fluid flows through the shaped flow space and is in thermal communication with the housing, and (iv) a second outlet in communication with the shaped flow space such that the stream of temperature-controlled fluid is exhausted from the interior of the housing through the second outlet after flowing through the shaped flow space;. A thermally conductive probe is disposed in thermal communication with the exterior of the housing of the heat exchanger, the thermally conductive probe comprising a thermally conductive protrusion in thermal
communication with the exterior of the housing of the heat exchanger, such that, when the thermally conductive probe makes contact with a device under test (DUT), heat is conducted to or from DUT.
[0005] In some exemplary embodiments, when the thermally conductive probe makes contact with the device under test (DUT), temperature of the DUT is controllable.
[0006] In some exemplary embodiments, the system further comprises a temperature sensing device for sensing temperature of the thermally conductive probe, the temperature of the thermally conductive probe being used to control temperature of the DUT.

[0026] In the description that follows, features that are described and/or illustrated with respect to one embodiment may be used in the same way or in a similar way in one or more other embodiments and/or in combination with or instead of the features of the other embodiments. Description will now be made in detail of exemplary embodiments, one or more of which are illustrated in the drawings. Each embodiment is provided to illustrate the invention, and is not meant as a limitation of the invention. For example, features illustrated or described as part of one embodiment can be used in another embodiment to yield a further embodiment. It is intended that the present description include such modifications and variations as come within the scope and spirit of the invention.
[0027] Fig. 1 includes a schematic perspective view of a temperature-controlled fluid processing system, for example, a temperature forcing system, e.g., air forcing system 10, to which the present disclosure is applicable. Fig. 2 includes a schematic perspective view of another embodiment of a temperature-controlled fluid processing system, for example, a temperature forcing system, e.g., air forcing system 100, to which the present disclosure is applicable. Temperature forcing systems 10, 100 to which the present disclosure is directed can be used to produce a fluid such as air, nitrogen, or other inert gas with a precisely controlled temperature and flow rate, and can direct a stream of that fluid into a particular region, such as, for example, onto a device under test (DUT) 19, 119, to control the temperature of the DUT 19, 119. DUT 19, 119 can be an integrated circuit (IC), which can be contained within its IC package. Alternatively, DUT 19, 119 can be a semiconductor wafer with multiple IC dies integrated therein, or it can be a printed circuit board (PCB) with multiple ICs installed thereon. According to some exemplary embodiments, the temperature-controlled forcing system 10, 100 may comprise a THERMO STREAM® Air Forcing System, as manufactured and sold by inTEST Thermal Solutions Corporation of Mansfield, Massachusetts, or other similar system. [0028] Temperature forcing systems 10, 100 may include a chiller/controller unit 12, 112, which includes a refrigeration system for generating a stream of dry, cold gas, e.g., air, nitrogen or other fluid. The chilled fluid may be directed into a fluid conveyor, such as a tube and hose system 16, 116 which in system 10 directs the air into a head unit 14 and in system 100 directs the air into an insulated "clamshell" box appliance 118, in which DUT 119 is located, such that temperature of DUT 119 can be controlled. Head unit 14 may include a heater for heating the chilled fluid, such that temperature of the fluid can be precisely controlled. The temperature- controlled fluid may exit head 14 through an outlet 18. In some exemplary embodiments, a "T- Cap" thermal cap accessory 22 having a shroud 24 is commonly attached at outlet 18. Shroud 24 can be used to at least partially enclose or cover DUT 19 to provide a contained temperature- controlled environment in which temperature of DUT 19 is controlled. In system 100 of Fig. 2, clamshell appliance 118 provides a contained temperature-controlled environment in which temperature of DUT 19 is controlled.
[0029] Fig. 3 includes a detailed schematic diagram of a portion of temperature forcing system 10 of Fig. 1, according to another exemplary embodiment. In this embodiment, head unit 14 is connected by claims 15 at outlet 18 to a ring 17, which mounts over and at least partially encloses DUT 19. In this exemplary illustration, DUT 19 is illustrated as a PCB with multiple electronic devices mounted thereon.
[0030] Thus, according to temperature forcing systems 10, 100 illustrated in Figs. 1-3, as described above, temperature control is achieved by convection via the flow of the temperature- controlled fluid onto or in close proximity to DUT 19, 119. According to exemplary
embodiments, temperature forcing systems 10, 100 can be modified such that heat transfer by conduction is used to force DUTs 19, 119 to a desired test temperature. To achieve this conversion from heat transfer by convection to heat transfer by conduction, according to exemplary embodiments, the output fluid flow from temperature forcing systems 10, 100 is forced into a high- efficiency heat exchanger, which can be positioned in contact with DUT 19, 119. The heat exchanger is maintained in contact with DUT 19, 119 such that the heat transfer is accomplished using a thermal conduction path. One benefit of conductive temperature control of DUT 19, 119 over convective temperature control is that, with the conductive temperature control of the present disclosure, only the device to be tested, i.e., DUT 19, 119, is affected thermally. Other elements, such as, for example, adjacent components and/or the load board itself, can remain thermally isolated while temperature of DUT 19, 119 is affected. This results in substantially reduced loss or waste of temperature control fluid, which in turn produces a more efficient test system and process.
[0031] Fig. 4 includes a schematic diagram of a temperature forcing system 200, using a conductive temperature probe for controlling temperature of a DUT, according to exemplary embodiments. Referring to Fig. 4, a portion of system 200 is illustrated to facilitate detailed description. The remainder of system 200 not shown in the figure is the same as that portion of system 10 illustrated in Fig. 1. System 200 includes head unit 214, analogous to head unit 14 of system 10. An outlet pipe structure 218 is coupled to the output of head unit 214 to capture and carry the temperature-controlled fluid output by system 200 for temperature control. Outlet pipe structure 218 transports the temperature-controlled fluid into an inlet 230 of high-efficiency heat exchanger 222, which circulates the fluid internally and outputs the fluid at outlet 232, which is connected to exhaust pipe 220. The temperature-controlled fluid circulating in the interior of heat exchanger 222 transfers heat to/from the thermally conductive body of heat exchanger 222, which contacts an optional thermally conductive thermocouple mounting plate 224.
Thermocouple mounting plate 224 can be used as a means for mounting and connecting a thermocouple in proximity to or in contact with heat exchanger 222 to monitor its temperature, if desired. This can provide an optional temperature parameter input, which can be used, if desired, in the temperature control function of system 200.
[0032] When present, thermally conductive thermocouple mounting plate 224 is thermally connected to a thermally conductive DUT contact probe 228, which is mounted on the bottom surface of thermally conductive thermocouple mounting plate 224. If thermally conductive thermocouple mounting plate 224 is not present, then thermally conductive DUT contact probe 228 is mounted to the bottom surface of heat exchanger 222. In either configuration, heat transfer to/from DUT 19, 119 is effected conductively by contact of a contact protrusion portion 227 of thermally conductive DUT contact probe 228 with DUT 19, 119. It is noted that, in some exemplary embodiments, heat exchanger 222, thermocouple mounting plate 224, and DUT contact probe 228 can be held together by one or more pins 233 through mounting holes 248 in mounting bosses 235 (see Figs. 6-8). Other means of attachment can be used, such as screws, nuts and bolts, etc.
[0033] Fig. 5 includes a schematic diagram of a temperature forcing system 200A, using a conductive temperature probe for controlling temperature of a DUT, according to exemplary embodiments. Referring to Fig. 5, a portion of system 200A is illustrated to facilitate detailed description. The remainder of system 200A not shown in the figure is the same as that portion of system 10 illustrated in Fig. 1. System 200A of Fig. 5 is similar to system 200 of Fig. 4, except that Fig. 5 illustrates system 200A making use of one or more thermocouples to monitor one or more respective temperature parameters which optionally can be used in the temperature control implemented by system 200A. Referring to Fig. 5, system 200A includes head unit 214, analogous to head unit 14 of system 10. Outlet pipe structure 218 is coupled to the output of head unit 214 to capture and carry the temperature-controlled fluid output by system 200 for temperature control. Outlet pipe structure 218 transports the temperature-controlled fluid into an inlet 230 of high-efficiency heat exchanger 222, which circulates the fluid internally and outputs the fluid at outlet 232, which is connected to exhaust pipe 220. The temperature-controlled fluid circulating in the interior of heat exchanger 222 transfers heat to/from the thermally conductive body of heat exchanger 222, which contacts an optional thermally conductive thermocouple mounting plate 224. Thermocouple mounting plate 224 can be used as a means for mounting and connecting a thermocouple (not shown) in proximity to or in contact with heat exchanger 222 to monitor its temperature, if desired. An optional second thermocouple 254 can be mounted to and monitor temperature of a portion 258 of system 200 A in proximity to DUT 19, 119. The thermocouples are wired via wires 256 and 252, via head 214, to system controller in chiller/controller unit 12, 112. This can provide one or more optional temperature parameter inputs, which can be used, if desired, in the temperature control function of system 200A.
[0035] Fig. 6 includes a schematic perspective view of heat exchanger 222, according to some exemplary embodiments. Fig. 7 includes a schematic cross-sectional view of heat exchanger 222, taken along line 7-7 of Fig. 6, according to some exemplary embodiments. Fig. 8 includes a schematic cross-sectional view of heat exchanger 222, taken along line 8-8 of Fig. 7, according to some exemplary embodiments. Referring to Figs. 6-8, heat exchanger 222 includes a thermally conductive housing portion 240 fixedly attached to a thermally conductive cover portion 242. Housing portion 240 and cover portion 242 can be made of similar or like thermally conductive materials such as metals, which can be, for example, aluminum, copper, or other thermally conductive material, and can be sealed together by some thermally conductive means, such as welding, brazing, or other process. As noted above, temperature-controlled fluid from head unit 214 of system 200, 200 A enters heat exchanger 222 through inlet 230 and circulates through the interior of heat exchanger 222 via a serpentine pattern of void space 246 defined and contained by interior wall structure 247. The fluid then exits the interior of heat exchanger 222 via outlet 232.
[0036] Contact probe 228 can have a size and shape of multiple possible sizes and shapes, depending on the particular needs of the particular application. Also, contact protrusion portion 227 of each contact probe 228 can be sized depending on the application, as well as the size constraints of the DUT 19, 119, or region of DUT 19, 119 at which temperature effect is to be applied. Fig. 9A includes a schematic perspective view of a contact probe 228A, according to exemplary embodiments. Fig. 9B includes a bottom view of contact probe 228 A of Fig. 9 A, illustrating the configuration of contact protrusion portion 227A of contact probe 228A, according to some exemplary embodiments. Fig. 10A includes a schematic perspective view of a contact probe 228B, according to exemplary embodiments. Fig. 10B includes a bottom view of contact probe 228B of Fig. 10A, illustrating the configuration of contact protrusion portion 227B of contact probe 228B, according to some exemplary embodiments. Fig. 11 A includes a schematic perspective view of a contact probe 228C, according to exemplary embodiments. Fig. 1 IB includes a bottom view of contact probe 228C of Fig. 11 A, illustrating the configuration of contact protrusion portion 227C of contact probe 228C, according to some exemplary
embodiments. It will be understood that Figs. 9A-1 IB are not exhaustive of all of the possible configurations of contact probes 228 and associated contact protrusion portions 227. Rather, they illustrate that the configurations provide a wide range of variations depending on the particular application. Any number of configurations is possible.
[0037] Referring to Figs. 9A, 10A, 11 A, contact probes 228A, 228B, 228C include attachment/location pins 229A, 229B, 229C, respectively. These pins mate with holes on the undersides of heat exchanger 222 or thermocouple mounting plate 224 to locate contact probes 228A, 228B, 228C properly and/or to fixedly mount contact probes 228A, 228B, 228C in thermally conductive contact with heat exchanger 222 or thermocouple mounting plate 224. Contact probe 228 and contact protrusion portions 227 can be made of similar or like thermally conductive materials such as metals, which can be, for example, aluminum, copper, or other thermally conductive material.

What's the Difference Between Burglary & Robbery?
The terms burglary and robbery are often confused by those with little knowledge of the criminal justice system. While these crimes are similar, there are key differences that affect how they are charged and what kinds of penalties they carry.
Burglary and robbery are both property theft crimes. Burglary involves unlawful entry into a home, business, or other property with the intention to commit a theft when the owner is not present. An example of burglary would be entering a person's house and taking items while the owner is away at work. Burglary can be classified as either a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the severity of the crime. Robbery, on the other hand, is always a felony crime, as it involves trying to take something (or someone) using force or threat of force. Where burglary does not involve the presence of a victim, robbery does. An example of a robbery would be entering a business and demanding money from a safe while threatening employees with a weapon.
Grand theft: Grand theft involves the intentional taking of property exceeding the state statutory amount. In Arizona, the theft of more than $1,000 worth of property, or the theft of a weapon or an animal for the purpose of fighting, can be considered grand theft.
Extortion: Extortion involves forcing someone to do something against his or her will by threatening them with financial hardship, damage to reputation, violence, or property damage.
Larceny: Larceny typically refers to nonviolent theft of another's personal property that does not involve illegal entry. The only exception is the burglary of a motor vehicle, which is classified as larceny.
While many of these theft crimes may sound similar, the distinctions are important from a criminal defense perspective. Knowing exactly how to handle a certain charge is key to defending an accused person. At Suzuki Law Offices, L.L.C., we've handled everything from shoplifting to first-degree burglary. No matter what type of theft charge you are facing, our team stands ready to help.

A robotic vehicle dived into Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica to view the unexplored depths of Antarctica.
For this purpose, the robot was formed by a group of engineers and scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Moreover, the robot dove through a 12-inch diameter hole in the ice and down 500 meters into the seafloor. Finally, the robot reveals why the Ross Ice Shelf melts rapidly in summer. Consequently, the team found that the main source of ocean heat causing the ice shelf to melt was sunlight warming the upper ocean after the region's sea ice disappeared in the summertime.

If you are missing one or more teeth, we recommend getting a bridge. When there is a gap in your teeth, the remaining teeth tend to shift and rotate into the empty space, resulting in a bad bite. The gap in the teeth can also lead to gum disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Bridges are commonly used to replace one or more teeth. They literally forma bridge between two teeth, creating a prosthetic tooth in the middle. The two teeth holding the bridge are called abutments. The bridge is cemented to these teeth which serve to anchor the bridge. A new crown is created for the abutments – called a pontic. As with crowns, you have a choice of materials for bridges. At Glen Innes Dentist, we will help you decide which one is right for you, based on the location of the missing tooth (or teeth), its function, aesthetic considerations and cost. We can match ceramic and porcelain bridges to the colour of your natural teeth.
A new artificial tooth can be attached to an implant. This can be an excellent way of replacing a missing tooth or teeth, because other teeth are not involved. An implant is like an artificial tooth root, and is placed into the jaw bone where a tooth has been lost. One or more implants can be used,depending on the size of the space. After a time of healing (usually a few months) an artificial tooth is attached to the implant.
Not everyone has the right jaw structure for this treatment, we will need to check to see if an implant is the right option for you.
There are several types of dentures suitable as a short or medium term tooth replacement.
The plastic partial denture fits on the gum and sometimes has wire clasps to hold it in place. the metal precision partial denture fits exactly with clasps and rests on existing teeth. Both are removable, and take them out to clean.

Ohio State Highway Patrol
Fambro sworn in as 19th OSHP superintendent
By Norwalk Reflector staff • Mar 20, 2019 at 6:00 PM
COLUMBUS — Richard S. Fambro has been promoted to colonel, the highest rank in the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Fambro will serve as the 19th superintendent of the patrol, making history Monday as he became the first African-American to hold the position. He succeeds the former superintendent, Col. Paul A. Pride, who led the agency since August 2013.
A 29-year veteran of the patrol, Fambro was promoted Monday by Thomas Stickrath, director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety.
Fambro joined the patrol in August 1989 as a cadet dispatcher assigned to the Lancaster post. He became a member of the 119th academy class in January 1990. Fambro received his commission in June of that year and was assigned to the Dayton post. In 1994, he was selected as post Trooper of the Year.
In 1997, Fambro was promoted to sergeant and transferred to Springfield to serve as an assistant post commander. In 2000, he was promoted to lieutenant and transferred to serve as the Lancaster post commander. In 2003, Fambro was selected to serve as the patrol spokesman in the public affairs unit.
Fambro was promoted to the rank of staff lieutenant in 2004. He then transferred to the office of logistics and security services. As a staff lieutenant, he also served as an assistant district commander at the Columbus district headquarters.
In 2010, Fambro was promoted to captain and transferred to the office of investigative services. As a captain, he also served in the offices of special operations and criminal investigations. In 2014, Fambro was promoted to the rank of major and transferred to the office of planning and finance. As a major, he also served in the personnel office. In 2018, he was promoted to the second-highest rank of lieutenant colonel and served as an assistant superintendent.
Fambro completed advance leadership training at Northwestern University's School of Police Staff and Command and attended the U.S. Army War College. He earned a bachelor of science degree in business administration from Ohio Dominican University in 2004. He will complete his studies to obtain a master's of science in management degree from Mount Vernon Nazarene University in May.


Erykah Badu's debut album, released when she was just twenty-five. This album marked the dawning of an era of what could be called "conscious R&B" -- or, as it is now known, Neo-Soul. Hip-hop and soul influences mix freely, all tethered together by Badu's somewhat skinny, corrugated vocals that drew comparisons to Billie Holiday. Tracks include "On & On" and "Apple Tree."

The themes of life and our interaction with material pleasure presented by Kohelet seem out of place for the joyous holiday of Sukkot. The opening segment of the book leads us to the conclusion that life is entirely pointless. How can we reconcile that with the commandment to celebrate with joy and gladness?
Sukkot is a foretaste of the Messianic Kingdom, when there will be peace on earth, Israel's enemies will be defeated, and Jew and Gentile will dwell together serving the one true God. Sukkot is a prophetic shadow of the coming kingdom of heaven.
It is interesting that in Jewish tradition Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret are related to the Messianic Era and the World to Come. How fitting would it be if Joseph, a type and shadow of our Master, revealed himself to his brothers during this time?
We recite blessings toward he who has commanded us to dwell in booths and, as the weather is becoming chilly and the rains come, we are reminded of our temporary sojourn upon the earth and our complete and utter dependence upon the LORD.
If John the Immerser was "the Elijah who is to come" (Matthew 11:14), is it not reasonable to assume that his birth took place at the "appointed time" of Passover? And if John the Immerser was born on Passover, then the Master should have been born six months later at the onset of the Festival of Sukkot.


Today's OT18 readings are 1 Chronicles 26-27 and Micah 4.
This devotional is about 1 Chronicles 26-27.
Sometimes you call a company to talk to a specific person but you don't have that person's extension number. If a real, live person answers the phone you can just ask to be connected. Frequently, however, you will get an automated response to your call. It will tell you to press 1 for this, press 2 for that, etc. One of the options is usually, "For a list of all extensions, press *" or # or one of the numbers. Then you can listen as, one by one, in alphabetical order, the name and extension of each employee of the company is read to you.
This portion of scripture is like that directory of extensions. Starting back in 1 Chronicles 22, David began making preparations for Solomon to become king and build the temple. From chapter 23 through chapter 26 today, we've been reading lists of names of people who served in the Lord's tabernacle in some way. Here in 1 Chronicles 27, we have ...uh... chronicled for us the men who served as leaders in David's army (vv. 1-15), the leaders of the tribes of Israel (vv. 16-24), and leaders in David's administration (vv. 25-34). The impression this list makes is that David's kingdom was large and well-organized. Each person who served was known by name and his role in the kingdom was documented. Notice just a few of these details: • There were royal storehouses (v. 25) and they were organized into districts, towns, villages, and watchtowers. Two men were responsible for these storehouses. • There were geographical assignments for certain things such as "the olive and sycamore-fig trees in the western foothills" (v. 28) and "the herds grazing in Sharon" (v. 29). • The king had men on his staff who were his confidant (Hushai) and counselors (Jonathan and Ahithophel (vv. 32-33).
Within these administrative lists, there are indications that some of the men were especially skilled in their jobs. Among the gatekeepers of the tabernacle, some "were leaders in their father's family because they were very capable men" (26:6). Others were described as "capable men with the strength to do the work" (26:8). Jonathan, David's uncle was "a man of insight and a scribe" (v. 32). He sounds like exactly the right man for that role.
My point in all of this is that sometimes people complain about "organized religion." There are some who believe there is virtue in being disorganized and loose with details and responsibilities. Many people dislike accountability even though they accepted responsibility for the results of an area. These lists of men and their responsibilities show us that even way back in the days of the Old Testament, God's servants in worship and kingdom administration were highly organized and their responsibilities were clearly defined. Not many people love administration--I sure don't--but administration serves a purpose: it enables people to glorify God by serving others consistently and reliably.
Where is your place in the administration of God's work in our church? If you are a leader, are your people well-organized with clear roles and responsibilities? Could it be that one of the best ways you could serve the Lord right now is to put some effort into administration?

Gli Aparai  sono un gruppo etnico del Brasile che ha una popolazione stimata in 398 individui (2010).

Lingua
Parlano la lingua Aparai, lingua che appartiene alla famiglia linguistica Karib. La maggior parte degli Aparai parla più lingue, tra cui Aparai, Wayana, portoghese e Tiriyó.

Insediamenti
Vivono nello stato brasiliano di Amapá e Pará, in zone in cui sono stanziati anche i Wayana, gruppo correlato agli Aparai per storia e lingua. Queste aree comprendono le parti superiori e centrali del fiume Paru, all'interno del Parco Nazionale di Tumucumaque e del territorio indigeno del Paru Orientale.

Storia
Sebbene secondo molte fonti storiche gli Aparai e i Wayana abbiano avuto origini diverse (gli Aparai sono originari delle zone meridionali del Rio delle Amazzoni e sono poi migrati nelle aree dei fiumi Curuá, Maicuru, Jari e Paru Orientale mentre i Wayana hanno abitato per lungo tempo le zone centrali e superiori del fiume del Paru Occidentale e del suo affluente Citaré e le zone degli affluenti del fiume Jarí, ossia i fiumi the Litani e Paloemeu e altri piccoli affluenti) gli Aparai odierni, insieme al gruppo dei Wayana, rappresentano il risultato di un processo storico di separazione etnica avvenuto dal XVIII secolo in poi. In questo processo gli Aparai assimilarono le etnie Apama, Pirixiyana e Arakaju. Nel corso degli anni settanta, l'antropologo svizzero Daniel Schoepf riunì gli Aparai e i Wayana sotto un unico gruppo denominato "Wayana-Aparai" ma i due gruppi continuarono a definirsi separati per storia, tradizioni e anche dispute tra clan avversi.

Another Massive Fire Erupts At An Iranian Oil Refinery, Follows Sinking Of Largest Warship
By Ryan Saavedra June 03, 2021 | Image Source: Daily Wire
A large fire erupted late on Wednesday afternoon at an oil refinery near Iran's capital, Tehran, which followed news from earlier in the day that the nation's largest warship sank after it caught fire in the Gulf of Oman.
"The fire struck the state-owned Tondgooyan Petrochemical Co. to the south of Tehran, said Mansour Darajati, the director-general of the capital's crisis management team," The Associated Press reported. "Firefighters believe it struck a pipeline for liquefied petroleum gas at the facility, Darajati told Iranian state television. He did not elaborate."

The Washington Post reported earlier in the day that a fire erupted on Iran's largest warship "under unclear circumstances" around 2:25 a.m. and that firefighters battled it for 20 hours before the nearly 680-foot Kharg sank. The ship was used to resupply other ships, conduct training exercises, and had been in use for more than four decades.
The Jerusalem Post reported:
The vessel left for training at sea several days ago. It caught fire for some reason when a "system" failed on board. The Kharg suffered devastating damage despite Iran's best efforts to send military personnel to fight the fire. It comes a day after an Iranian aircraft crashed and two elite pilots died. … This appears to be a major setback for Iran. Iran has recently tried to increase its naval footprint, acquiring new ships and sending ships to the Red Sea and to Venezuela.
The Daily Wire previously reported that the news came as the Biden administration is in talks with Iran, which is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, to reenter the highly controversial Iran nuclear deal. The news also comes after Israel was repeatedly attacked by Palestinian terrorists last month who launched more than 4,300 rockets at Israel. One of the terrorist organizations in Gaza publicly thanked Iran for supplying it with the weapons that it used to attack Israel.
Following last month's ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist organizations, numerous explosions and fires erupted at Iranian petrochemical plants.
"One person was killed and two others were injured in an explosion and fire at a petrochemical plant in Asaluyeh in southern Iran along the coast of the Persian Gulf … in the third such incident in the past four days," The Jerusalem Post reported last week. "Earlier this week incidents were reported at petrochemical plants at the Kangan Petro Refining Co. (KPRC) and in Shahin Shahr."
An attack last month believed to have come from Israel crippled Iran's Natanz nuclear facility so badly that the facility might not be able to continue enriching uranium until next year.
"Two intelligence officials briefed on the damage said it had been caused by a large explosion that completely destroyed the independent — and heavily protected — internal power system that supplies the underground centrifuges that enrich uranium," The New York Times reported last month. "The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a classified Israeli operation, said that the explosion had dealt a severe blow to Iran's ability to enrich uranium and that it could take at least nine months to restore Natanz's production."

On November 9, Secretary Lv Yesheng of CPC Dongguan Municipal Committee met with Taiwan Biotech Enterprise Delegation headed by Xuan Mingzhi, adviser to Guangdong Provincial People s Government. In-depth exchanges were made in deepening cooperation of Guanrong Program and strengthening biotech industrial connection.
Liang Weidong, deputy secretary of CPC Dongguan Municipal Committee and mayor of Dongguan, warmly received the delegation. Joining the meeting were also Deputy Mayor Yang Xiaotang, Yin Huanming, secretary of Songshan Lake (Biopark) Party Working Committee and director of Songshan Lake (Biopark) Administrative Committee, Song Tao, adviser to Dongguan Municipal People s Government.
At the meeting, Xuan Mingzhi gave an introduction to the status quo of Guanrong Program. Entrusted by Dongguan to the team led by Xuan Mingzhi, Guanrong Program was intended to build a specialized platform to draw quality biotech companies from Taiwan and other areas to Dongguan and ultimately form a globally leading innovative biotech industry cluster. It s planned that 20 enterprises are to be introduced to Songshan Lake preliminarily.
With the strong support of CPC Dongguan Municipal Committee and Dongguan Municipal People s Government, Xuan Mingzhi revealed that Guanrong Program has been steadily advanced. By far, 5 enterprises have joined Guanrong Program and another 2 enterprises have decided to enter Songshan Lake soon. He hoped that Dongguan could render more assistance and support in terms of helping enterprises expand their sales channels in Mainland China and promoting the entry of quality enterprises into Sonshan Lake.
While extending his warm welcome to Xuan Mingzhi s delegation, Secretary Lv Yesheng expressed his gratitude to him and his team for their efforts in promoting and publicizing Dongguan s investment environment. He pointed out that the steady development and optimized structure of Dongguan s economy is indispensible from the endeavor of Taiwan-invested enterprises. After years of development, Donguan s biotech industry has laid a solid foundation. He hoped that more quality enterprises could be introduced into Dongguan, productivity and R&D strengths transferred here to expand the biotech industry.
Secretary Lv Yesheng further revealed that Dongguan has attached great importance to the development of biotech industry strategically, and will further deepen cooperation with Taiwan-invested enterprises, provide quality services, create a better business environment, so that more enterprises can take root and blossom in Dongguan.

2022 Range Rover teased and leaked
The old king is dead, long live the king. There's a new full-strength Range Rover in town, and it's arrived early.
Range Rover offered its first official teaser of the car overnight, which was followed by a torrent of leaks. The exterior leaks you see here were posted on Driven Hard, and Jons Garage Instagram accounts.
From the teasers and leaks we can see the new Rangie will retain the model's upright profile, and much of its classic silhouette.
Traditional design elements such as the clamshell bonnet and blacked-out window pillars have been retained.
Again the Range Rover appears to have smooth body surfaces, but relatively flat sides. Vertical strakes are positioned at the leading edge of the front wheels.
To give the new generation a sleeker, sportier appearance, there's a slight downward curve to the roof, while the top section of the side window graphic slopes downward after the A-pillar.
As is the trend, the fifth-generation car has flush-fitting pop-out door handles for improved aero and a cleaner look.
The most dramatic change, though, has taken place at the rear where there's a thin vertical tail-light strip on each side of the tailgate. Visually these two strips are linked up by a black bar along the upper section of the tailgate and a chrome bar along the bottom.
The Cochespias Instagram account also posted images that seemingly come straight from the press kit or sales brochure, including what could our first glimpse of the car's interior.
Clearly an evolution of the current cabin design, the new Range Rover has fewer buttons, simple surfaces, and a large touchscreen infotainment system popping out of the middle of the dash.
According to Gerry McGovern, Jaguar Land Rover's head of design, the fifth-generation Range Rover will have an exterior of "impeccable restraint" that "doesn't follow fashion or trend" but rather evolves the model's "modernist design philosophy".
He says the cabin will be a "flawless tranquil sanctuary".
Based on Jaguar Land Rover's new Modular Longitudinal Architecture Flex (MLA Flex), the upcoming Range Rover is able to support mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and all-electric drivetrains.
It seems likely the Range Rover will be powered by the company's Ingenium straight-six engines with mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid assistance.
New Range Rover, official teaser
Current Range Rover
Rumours indicate performance models may be fitted with BMW's 4.4-litre turbocharged V8 engine, while an EV drivetrain should appear somewhere down the track.
As part of the company's transformation plan announced at the beginning of this year, CEO Thierry Bollore not only put Jaguar on the path to becoming an all-electric brand by 2025, but also predicted 60 per cent of sales from the Land Rover division would be electric by 2030.

Spurs: Oliver Skipp failed Antonio Conte's test vs Portsmouth
by George McGibbon share
Tottenham Hotspur secured safe passage through to the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon, with Antonio Conte's side besting League One outfit Portsmouth 1-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
However, while it is true that the 53-year-old fielded something of a rotated starting XI against Spurs' lower-league opposition, the Italian will undoubtedly be slightly disappointed in his team's failure to put the result to bed, considering just how close the contest remained until the final whistle
Read the latest Spurs news, transfer rumours and more during the World Cup!
Indeed, both Emerson Royal and Oliver Skipp had glorious chances to find the net, except the former saw his header come back off the upright, while the latter inexplicably blazed over when unmarked from 12 yards out.
Furthermore, with both of the aforementioned duo having found themselves on the substitutes' bench more often than not in recent weeks, neither of their overall performances against Pompey will have done much to convince Conte that they would be worthy of a starting berth against Arsenal next week, with Skipp particularly disappointing this afternoon.
Paratici could unearth Son 2.0 as Spurs submit bid for "spectacular" £106m-rated star - opinion
Conte must finally ditch £31m-rated "beast" as Spurs eye move for "deadly" £53m talent - opinion
Paratici could seal an "unreal" steal in Spurs move for "incredible" £35m "golden boy" - opinion
Indeed, over his 90 minutes on the pitch, the £22m-rated talent largely failed to stamp his authority in the middle of the park. He had 54 touches of the ball – four fewer than his opposite number Joe Morrell – completed 39 of his 44 attempted passes (just four more than Morrell) and ceded possession of the ball on nine separate occasions.
The £40k-per-week midfielder was also beaten by an opponent once, lost five of his seven duels – a failure rate of 71% – and was lucky to not receive a red card in the 28th minute after something of a horror tackle on Michael Morrison.
Rather unsurprisingly, the 22-year-old's display saw him earn a well below-par Sofascore match rating of just 6.5 – the worst of any Spurs player to feature on the day – while Evening Standard journalist Dan Kilpatrick also awarded the youngster a five in his own player ratings for the match.

Harry Winks
Lucas Moura
Furthermore, football writer and Tottenham supporter Andrew Gaffney stated his belief in a post on Twitter that Skipp appeared to be "wearing square boots" against Portsmouth, while Tom Thorogood also dubbed the midfielder's showing as "terrible" on Twitter.
It is true that Skipp was a last-minute addition to the Italian's starting XI today, but if this was the academy graduate's big chance to impress his manager ahead of the north London derby next week, it was one that the England youth international very much failed to grasp.


Chymera VR Inc, a virtual reality advertising platform, has secured funding from a clutch of angel investors, including People Group founder and chief executive Anupam Mittal, Airbnb's global expansion head Varsha Rao, Google executive Surojit Chatterjee, and HHC Holdings chairman Nirav Choksi, among others. The investment was made through the LetsVenture platform, said a company statement.
The startup will deploy the funds to ramp up product development in Bangalore and to increase its publisher and advertiser base primarily in the US, the statement added.
Founded in 2015 by IIT Bombay alumni Sushil Kumar and Smeet Bhatt, the San Francisco- and Bangalore-based startup offers technology solutions to advertisers who want to use VR as a way of storytelling and brand building.
"Our current focus is to onboard quality publishers and improve on ad experience. Chymera has already partnered with 12 publishers in the US, UK and France," Bhatt said in the press note.
Other VR startups which have garnered investors' interest in the recent past include Imaginate Technologies, which raised Rs 3.35 crore ($500,000) in seed investment from venture fund SRI Capital in February this year.
VR game studio Xanadu Heights Inc. secured seed investment from Dheeraj Jain, managing partner at London-based investment firm Redcliffe Capital, in November 2016. Foyr.com, a Hyderabad-based online interior designing and home décor startup that uses AR and VR, has raised funding from a new real estate technology investment vertical set up by property consultancy firm Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) India.
In March, Surat-based ShilpMIS Technologies Pvt. Ltd raised an undisclosed amount of funding from Puneet Gupta, a digital industry veteran and angel investor, Nimitt Desai, partner at Deloitte US, and other high net worth individuals (HNIs). ShilpMIS calls itself the Instagram/PowerPoint of virtual reality (VR).

E-Scrap News
REMADE announces funding for additional research projects
Jared Paben
Federal funding will target e-scrap separation for metals and plastics recovery. | Jer123 / Shutterstock
A government-backed institute that has funded e-scrap recycling research in recent years is accepting applications for another round of grants.
The Rochester, N.Y.-based Reducing EMbodied-Energy and Decreasing Emissions (REMADE) Institute issued a request for proposals to develop reuse, remanufacturing and recycling technologies for metals, polymers, fibers and scrap electronics. The institute, which is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, plans to award up to $12 million, which would be matched dollar-for-dollar by grant recipients.
In terms of e-scrap, the REMADE Institute is looking for projects that "develop cost-effective separation technologies that can more effectively and selectively separate and recover individual metals and plastics from e-waste." It is also interested in funding efforts to redesign products to boost their reuse, recycling and remanufacturing potential. REMADE has allocated a total of $11 million in research and development grants, and it expects to award between 12 and 18 R&D grants.
Additionally, for this third round of funding, REMADE said it has set aside an additional $1 million to support education and training for the workforce, including employees who recycle electronics. It expects to award between four and eight of these workforce-development grants.
Founded in May 2017, the REMADE Institute has supported a number of e-scrap research projects over the past two years. Earlier this year, it announced grant awards for two electronics recycling projects that involve the use of leaching techniques and solvents to extract valuable metals. One involves New York processor Sunnking and the University of Utah, and the other involves Sunnking, the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) and the University of Massachusetts-Lowell.
In 2018, REMADE funded four e-scrap-related projects. They involved evaluating logistics for e-scrap collection and processing, improving the ability to reuse circuit boards by removing a coating material on them, testing circuit boards for defects and redesigning solar panels so they're more easily recycled.

while (reader.Read()) // This returns true if a record is available, and false once all records have been read.

    // Do something with paragonValue.
