Recently, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has launched its Bio-digester, christened as bio-toilets from Dhamara (Odisha) near the Wheeler Island test facility from where it used to test launch long-range missiles like Agni and AAD interceptors.
The Bio-digester, named as ELOO (eco-friendly loo) is said to be the perfect alternative to the current 'Flush and forget' toilets. It is expected that bio-toilets can save billions of dollars for any government in waste management and to ensure good health for all.
It degrades and converts the human waste into usable water and gasses in an eco-friendly manner. The generated gas can be utilized for energy/cooking and water for irrigation purposes.
The process involves the bacteria, which feed upon the faecal matter inside the tank, through anaerobic process which finally degrades the matter and releases methane gas that can be used for cooking, along with the treated water.
Notable Points
Over 60 percent people in India still prefer open defecation due to non-availability of toilets. While out of 2.40 lakh Gram Panchayats only 10 percent GPs are declared as Nirmal Panchayats.
The figure is dismal in Odisha where only 280 GPs are announced as Nirmal Panchayats out of 6300. Other states, with poorest sanitation facilities, include Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh.
Sikkim is the only state where all citizens have access to toilets.
As per Jairam Ramesh, Kerala will soon be the second one in the country and we aim to make all the GPs in the country Nirmal Panchayats within next 10 years under the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan scheme
Earlier, Government was providing Rs 3500 to each BPL family to set up toilets. Now it has been enhanced to Rs 10,000 to each family irrespective of their economic background.
Rural Development ministry has signed MoU with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to produce eco-friendly toilets. Initially, the DRDO has decided to set up the bio-toilets in 1000 GPs across the country and the RD ministry would spend nearly Rs 400 Cr for the purpose.
The toilets cost only Rs 15,000 each and are cheaper if built for clusters.
The government has requisitioned 12,000 units for 10 islands in Lakshwadeep and the Railways 10,000 units for trains to make the tracks clean.
The Bio-digester technology has been developed by Gwalior based Defence Research and Development Establishment (DRDE) and Tezpur based Defence Research Laboratory (DRL. The technology was used to decompose biological waste generated by soldiers deployed in high-altitude regions such as Siachen and Ladakh. The ELOOs can effectively function in extreme conditions and temperature ranging from - 6 degree C to 50 degree C.
Bapu Bio-Toilets
Mr. Ramesh applauded the role of DRDO scientists in developing the bio-toilets, which are based upon bio-digester technology. He suggested that the bio-toilets could be named 'Bapu', as the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi had always stressed on sanitation in rural areas of the country.

Keep Chopping Wood
In early October, we decided to move from LA to Salt Lake City. My wife and I have roots in the area and the allure of being closer to family while we wait out COVID was too much to ignore. With a two-stage move from NY to LA already under my belt this year, I was eager to mix it up. My big idea was to rent two 26-foot U-Haul trucks, fly my Dad and brother in from Salt Lake, and make the drive ourselves. It would cut the cost of moving significantly and be a fun bonding experience to boot. It was only supposed to be a 10-hour drive. How bad could it be?
Turns out, a 26-foot U-haul packed to the brim and careening down an under-construction mountain highway is about as sketchy as it sounds. With the sweat from my hands running off the plastic-coated steering wheel into pools at my feet and stress-induced cramps spreading from my neck into my shoulders, I had serious doubts about the profundity of my plan. But at that point, what could I do? Stopping wasn't an option. With no freeway exits for 60 miles and the fawnish hue of dusk quickly fading to black, my best option was to keep chopping wood, or in other words, stick to the plan and keep driving.
Keep chopping wood, a phrase that reminds me of my 9th-grade gym teacher—an irascible man with a beer belly and an endless collection of tube socks—bellowing at disinterested teenagers to finish running their laps. Despite the tube socks, there is wisdom in the saying. Whether running laps, jamming on a work project, or building a business, sometimes there aren't shortcuts or growth hacks. The sooner we accept and embrace the process the better our results will be. The phrase is still a reminder for me that the unremarkable everyday tasks are often difference makers in life. That consistency in effort is the path to remarkable achievement.
There have been many times during this pandemic where I've felt much like I did driving that U-Haul through the desert. Times when uncertainty and stress sent my mind racing for alternative paths. But I've been fortunate to have people—my wife personally, and my partner Kunal professionally—who have, like my old gym teacher, harped on me to keep chopping wood.
The challenge with trying to write pithy blog posts is that real life doesn't fit neatly into margins—it's messy and nuanced. So while it's true that building something requires dogged persistence, successful people are rarely one-dimensional. Putting in the time to maintain connections with people in your life; recognizing the importance of finding balance by unplugging from what we'll call your primary task is as vital a step as any for success. I'm flagging this because chopping wood is not about focusing on your goals at the expense of everything else in your life. It's about accepting that progress can seem slow and even non-existent at times, but in the long run, if you stay consistent, it will pay off. Chopping wood is like body punches in a boxing match. They aren't the shots that make the highlight reel, and in the early rounds, they don't seem to be doing much. But their effect is cumulative, and as the fight wears on, it's body punches in the early rounds that pave the way to victory. It's understandable to want to land the haymaker, but that isn't how most fights are won.
The path to success is anything but linear. Whether you're landing haymakers or sweating in a U-Haul, your position on the road of progress is always in flux. Knowing that doesn't make it easy, but I hope it helps us find consolation in our setbacks and solidarity with others striving to overcome similar challenges. I've leaned heavily on my gym-teachers these past few months and hope to fill that role for others when I can. It's been one hell of a year, and for many, it may seem like Lady Luck has left for Rumspringa and lost interest in coming home. I say Lady Luck be damned, let's get to chopping.

We installed the new GoPro handlebar mount on my hubby's bike close to the handlebar stem. The basic mount would have the camera pointed to the side but comes with two additional pivot arms to get the camera facing in the direction you want.
With the camera mounted on the pivot arm the camera sits quite high. This is good because it helps get pics/video without the brake cables taking over the shot but bad because the greater the distance between the camera and the bike the greater the chance of vibration. Thankfully vibration wasn't really an issue for me today because I was testing out the time lapse mode.
Overall impression: this mount is a much better design that the cheap one I purchased on ebay. It stays in place fairly well. The angle of the camera did have to be adjusted a few times as the joints will move slightly when the bike is subjected to major bumps or vibration. This is fine when the camera is mounted in the front but would be an issue if you had it mounted on your seat post facing backwards since you'd really have no way of knowing if the camera angle needed adjusting.

Q: Special properties of bounded functions I have a problem understanding the reasons as to why under some circumstances a term can be omitted due to it being a part of a bounded function, and I hoped to get some clarity to this here. There is of course a risk i'm completely amiss, but i would be very grateful for any insight given as to this topic of rules regarding bounded functions.
The specific problem i faced was solving the stationary temperature distribution of a sphere, where solving with the spherical Laplace operator $$-\dfrac1r \dfrac{d^2}{dr^2} \bigg(r\,u(r)\bigg) = q$$ left me with $u(r) = q\left(r^2/6 + A + B/r\right)$.
Now, the problem was solvable and matched the correct answer when assuming $u = q\ r^2/6 + A.$ But why is it that the $B/r$ term can be omitted in this context? All that was given was that the temperature has to be bounded inside the whole sphere, and I can't see how that term defies that.
Thanks,
Os

Mass Effect: Andromeda animation lead confesses: "This one does not understand your human mouths"
BioWare's animation lead has come forward to take full responsibility for Mass Effect: Andromeda's heavily-criticised animations, saying that "this one apologises for not understanding human bones".
Andromeda has been under fire even before it launched, with reviewers describing the persistent animation bugs as "terrifying" and "a perfect heir to the cosmic horror of the Reapers". BioWare has been reluctant to speak out about the issue, but pressure from fans has compelled the company to finally clear the air.
Hovering gently next to the microphone at a press conference outside BioWare's Montreal headquarters and reading from a pre-prepared statement clutched gently in its tentacles, animation lead Vynollendis flashed with bioluminescent regret as they delivered their message.
"This one feels great shame at having to guess how your human bones and muscles function," droned Vynollendis, mournfully. "This one possesses no bones of any kind. This one supports itself using a series of air-filled bladders, and was forced to imagine how it would manipulate a primitive framework of solid calcium deposits."
"This one acknowledges that Electronic Arts HR department forbade it from touching any more human co-workers due to the constant, lethal toxins this one excretes from its skin. This one deeply regrets the loss of several lives."
BioWare's general manager Aaryn Flynn added that the difficulty in finding a team who could "survive contact with, let alone understand what Vynollendis was saying" led to a roster of animators who only had "passing familiarity" with the human anatomy.
"Our commitment to diversity means that sometimes we have to make decisions like this," Flynn continued, shuffling away from a flailing Vynollendis.
"We apologise again for the weird crab-walking and horrific rictus grins, but we are sure our players understand we have to stand up for what we believe in."
"We embrace diversity in all its forms – whether that's ensuring great representation across the community, or hiring literal aliens from space to work on important animation issues that they could not possibly understand."

Most people will, at some point in their lives, be unfortunate enough to suffer a personal injury. However, not all of these injuries are someone else's fault. Many times, people are injured through either unavoidable acts of God or their own actions. When people become injured due to the negligence or intentional acts of others, though, they have the right to pursue financial restitution.
A Porter County personal injury lawyer could be dedicated to helping anyone who suffers injury through no fault of their own to collect the compensation that they deserve. If you have suffered an injury in an accident, contact a professional attorney today.
Most personal injury cases arise out of accidents in which the party responsible for the incident did not mean to cause any harm to anyone. In order to hold that person legally liable, the plaintiff simply needs to prove that the defendant's actions directly caused their injuries. This is most commonly achieved by proving that the defendant was negligent.
Other personal injuries are the result of intentional acts. Almost universally, the defendants in these cases will also face criminal charges in addition to any civil ones. It is important to remember the outcome of any criminal case is independent of any civil claims.
For example, even if a defendant is convicted in criminal court, the judge in the case cannot order the defendant to pay damages to the injured person. Similarly, just because a defendant is acquitted in criminal court does not mean that a civil claim will not be successful.
No matter the cause of the injuries, whether they are the result of an accident or a criminal act, there is a strict time limit that controls when a plaintiff can file a claim in court.
Indiana Code §34-11-2-4 provides plaintiffs only two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This is a short time frame and insurance companies are well aware of this law, but a skilled Perry County personal injury attorney could ensure that claims are filed on time.
At the center of any personal injury claim is, of course, an injury. An injury can be physical, but it can also be an emotional injury. Most of the time, personal injury cases involve both physical and mental injuries.
However, this does not mean that mental anguish cannot be a part of a claim. In fact, a thorough personal injury claim will often make allowances for both the physical and mental effects of the injury.
Plaintiffs can also claim damages for the economic impact of their injury. For most people, this means claiming compensation for time missed at work due to either a temporary disability or for missed shifts due to attending doctor appointments.
Some cases involve long-term compensation for a permanent disability. When this is the situation, plaintiffs can claim damages for any future lost earning capacity.
Suffering through a personal injury is never a pleasant experience, but when those injuries are someone else's fault—regardless of whether the defendant caused the injuries through an intentional act or through negligence—you have the right to seek compensation for your damages.
A Porter County personal injury lawyer could be dedicated to standing up for your rights and defending you against predatory insurance companies. Call today to see what could be done in your case.

Sittin' In The Catbird's Seat
by Walt Koken
The following is an excerpt from the CD liner notes
In 1966 I bought the Orpheum NO.4 banjo that I still play today from a fellow named Dave Portman, who owned a music store in Ithaca, New York. I ended up painting his house in payment for it. The banjo was made circa 1916, so it was about 50 years old then. At this point, I've owned it nearly half its life, and most of mine. We have crossed oceans and continents together, and it has stood me well. Not long after I got it, I had "Rick" Rickard, a friend and founder of Ovation Guitars refinish the neck, as lots of bare wood was showing from wear by a previous owner. In 2007 I had a reproduction neck made for it, as the frets were well worn and during winter dehydration it bowed to the point where it was barely playable. I love the sound of it. In fact, I'm partial to most banjo sounds, especially those of the organic type.
My dad bought me a tenor for ten bucks in April of 1959. It wasn't what I wanted, and it took a few months before my brother found me a five string, but meanwhile I availed myself of the local music store and was strumming chords and playing songs out of books. With the "new" five-string came Pete Seeger's book "How to Play the Five String Banjo". So I was frailing that year. I soon discovered Earl Scruggs and explored that vein for a while, but when I heard the old mountain music, a la Wade Ward, et al, I was hooked. About 1965 I was recruited to play in a very traditional seven-piece New Orleans style jazz band which had some really talented and dedicated players, some of which are nationally known today, so I borrowed a four-string, brushed up on my plectrum chords, and became an integral part of the rhythm section. I still played old time music with my friend, fiddler George Dorian, who loved southern music, but also had made several forays to Nova Scotia, both with and without me, and we loved that music too.
George died in an auto accident in 1969. That's when I took up the fiddle, as I knew of no one who played the tunes the way we had played them. That led to the formation of the Highwoods Stringband in 1972, and my banjo playing was reduced to my spare time, for the most part. Long after Highwoods, in the early 1990's, I began to develop some tunes and techniques, a combination of all the musical forms I had played on the banjo over the years, and I began to realize that development of the five-string was somewhat musically retarded. The minstrel style, documented in the mid 1800's had been replaced almost universally by a more drone-sounding and chordless Round Peak style, and bluegrass style was either shameless imitation of the "Big Three" (Scruggs, Stanley, and Reno), or was bluegrass-ized jazz, which, with a drone/thumb string, didn't always work so well with so many chord progressions. Since bluegrass is not Public Domain oriented, it seems that most innovation has come there (Keith, Fleck, Trishka, & Co.), but often doesn't escape bluegrass inflection by way of instrument style/sound, metal fingerpicks, plastic heads, and twang. The "Classic" banjo community is likewise hard-wired, as they tolerate only the gut-string sound, and written music. Most banjo players these days are oriented toward learning by tablature, usually a computer generated form which is lacking in visual beauty, and often sense, if incorrect tunings are given, as seems to often be the case. We've all but forsaken the early banjo music from a hundred fifty years ago, written in standard music notation engravings. And so banjo music is looked at slightly askance, perhaps as being odd in one way or another by the general public, and pigeonholed into strict codes of conduct for each genre.
With this in mind, I'm hoping that this book and CD will inspire future pickers to think more about developing their music as an expression of themselves, rather than an expression of their vision of their particular banjo genre. Let the fivestring blossom into the beautiful musical instrument it deserves to be.

ElFi is an italo-australian student and artist; she was born in Italy in 2001, but soon after her birth her family moved to her mother's native country, Australia, and lived there for some years before moving back to Italy, where she still lives and studies Art, Music and foreign languages.
ElFi has always been interested in Art, and started drawing and painting when she was only a child. Her art has changed through the years; for a few years, she's been drawing portraits of different people, trying to capture their best features, their beauty; most often she uses (coloured) pencils and charcoals to create a chiaroscuro. During her high-school years she was introduced to Photography; since then, she's been interested in photographing nature, espcially trees and forests. She has often drawn, and sometimes still draws, mountain and country-side landscapes, using coloured pencils and/or acquarel colours to capture all the variety of shades they assume according to light. She often likes to mix different techniques, for example using acquarel colours and coloured pencils together, or pencils and pens ecc… Her main artistic influences are Impressionism and Romanticism.

Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade, which was released recently, is just another episode from the legendary Warhammer saga. The game allows people to compete against each other online, and for this reason, it's strongly recommended to have a consistent Internet connection for a seamless gaming experience. Lagging is caused by many factors, and this guide teaches how to eliminate them for having a fluid in-game user experience.
Intel Software Partner, RegInOut has 7+ features to boost Warhammer Game.
The game itself is very solid and stable, but every once in a while due to any changes at the server, the game has to be updated in order to be compatible with the new changes. Fortunately, Steam includes native functions to update the game automatically, but just in case if it's disabled, the following steps teach how to enable the automatic updates.
1. Launch the Steam client from the Start menu.
2. Locate Library and open it.
3. Locate Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade from the list of available games.
4.Right-click on the game and select Properties.
5. Switch to the Updates tab in the Properties window. Now select Always keep this game up to date under the Automatic Updates heading.
6. Restart the game now. Once it relaunches, Steam will automatically search for updates and download them subject to availability.
The game requires at least 512 kbps of upstream speed, and 1 Mbps of downstream speed for having a stable gaming experience. So if the system doesn't get spare bandwidth for the game, lags are bound to occur. In that case, the culprit which consumes the bandwidth needs to be identified and fixed to retrieve the bandwidth.
2. Download NetLimiter 4 setup and install it. Restart your system once the installation is over.
3. Launch NetLimiter from the Start menu.
4. Once the NetLimiter client is opened on the screen, it will start showing all the applications which utilize the bandwidth of the currently active Internet connection. The following example shows how Dropbox syncs the files in the background.
5. Right-click on any application you wish to top and then select Kill connections to terminate that application's bandwidth consumption.
6. Now, make sure it doesn't start again as some applications tend to restart themselves if their connections are somehow interrupted.
7.If the app you just killed restarts indeed, locate the DL Limit / UL Limit and select the checkboxes in the same row as the application's name to throttle its speed. This will allow the application to consume a very nominal amount of bandwidth while sparing a large portion of the bandwidth for the game.
Since the game has been programmed with the support of DirectX library files, it's necessary to keep the runtime applications up-to-date for having an optimized performance throughout the game. Graphics Driver makes sure that the currently installed Graphics Adapter is compatible with the game and its functionality, and for this reason, the developers recommend to update the driver whenever an update is available.
2. Click on GRAPHICS DRIVERS to download the software that scans for any updates. Once the download and installation is over, allow it to scan the system for picking the most appropriate driver for the currently installed Graphics Adapter.
3. Once the driver is installed, restart the system for the changes to take effect.
2. Click on the DOWNLOAD NOW button to download the scanning software. Install and then launch it to scan for any available updates that are available for the Graphics Adapter that is installed in the system.
3. If an update is available and is subsequently installed, restart the system for the changes to be permanent.
2. Download the executable file, and install the runtime library.
3. Restart the system to finalize the installation.
Video settings in the Settings section of the game can be reduced at the cost of the visual quality for improving the overall performance as well as the frame rate of the game. The following steps only contain the relevant lines of the GameUserSettings.ini which are required to improve the performance of the game. Make sure to use a text editor like Notepad++ for making the editing process easier.
2. Install it in the system.
3. Alongside fixing these settings, fix registry entries, clear browser, and system junk, optimize PC and games with RegInOut System Utilities.
1.Open File Explorer (known as Windows Explorer in previous Windows versions that preceded Windows 10).
3. Use the following settings in the GameUserSettings.ini file. Now relaunch the game so that the changes can be saved and applied.

The Monday Show: Hurricane updates, a brand new iPhone and more
Compiled by Mary Lou Masters
Michael White started up the show with some local news. Early voting opened across the state today for the 2020 election. Here in Clarke County, there will eventually be five places for voters to cast their early ballots.
As for the first two weeks, only one of the locations will be open: the Athens-Clarke County Board of Elections office in downtown Athens. The office will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. this week and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. the following week. Starting the week of Oct. 26, four more locations will open.
Due to social distancing requirements, there will be no voting at the Tate Student Center this year compared to years past, but Stegeman Coliseum will instead serve as the advanced voting site on campus from Oct. 27 to Oct. 29.
As always, voters can request an absentee ballot during this time online through the Secretary of State's website or by mail. If you are using an absentee ballot, ensure that you fill out the form correctly and drop the ballot off at one of the designated drop boxes or mail the form in. We will have more local election news in the run-up to the Nov. 3 election.
Cason Smith reported on the aftermath of Hurricane Delta in Georgia. A CSX train derailed in Lilburn early Sunday morning following heavy rains from the remnants of Hurricane Delta, according to Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services.
Firefighters responded to the train derailment around 2 a.m. after a "911 caller advised the train had derailed and the train was taking on water," Gwinnett Fire said in a statement. "Additional reports advised the train was on its side and two CSX employees were attempting to get out of the locomotive."
The train's engineer and conductor were later taken to a hospital with minor injuries, according to the statement. Crews found 38 rail cars derailed between Main Street NW and Rockbridge Road NW in Lilburn and several rail cars were engulfed in flames shortly after arrival, the statement said.
The fire subsided about two hours later "but still posed a threat to the surrounding area," Gwinnett Fire said. "At approximately 5:30 a.m., crews operating on scene determined the fire and hazmat to be under control with good air quality readings in the area. At that time, the evacuation order was lifted and residents were allowed to return to their homes."
The cause of the derailment has not been determined at this time.
Michael White also detailed the news concerning a new iPhone announcement. Apple will release their highly anticipated 5G phone tomorrow. Expected to be named iPhone 12, the release will begin Apple's foray into the 5G market that telecommunication stocks like Verizon and At&T have been building.
With four expected models, featuring screens ranging from 5.4 inches to 6.7 inches, the models will sell from $649 to $1,099. The anticipated event, titled "Hi, Speed" is leading to Apple's shares rising during trading today. As of 1:30 p.m., shares were up 6% to just over $124 a share.
In other news, IBM announced that they will be spinning off their main business into a separate publicly traded company with IBM staying to focus on cloud computing and artificial intelligence. This news comes after IBM acquired RedHat, a software company, in Q2. IBM has a history of divesting businesses that no longer fit their core model. On the news, IBM is holding fairly flat, only down .7% on the day. With the divestment, IBM is positioning itself to be a player in the ever-expanding AI market.
Wood Smith had the latest international COVID-19 updates. Countries across Europe are tightening restrictive measures aimed at curbing the coronavirus pandemic amid a surge in cases. Europe surpassed 100,000 daily reported COVID-19 cases for the first time last week, with cases continuing to grow over the weekend.
According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the Czech Republic has Europe's highest rate of coronavirus infection with 433 cases per 100,000 people in the past 14 days.
Meanwhile, Russia reported its highest daily coronavirus cases ever on Sunday at 13,634 cases, prompting Moscow authorities to consider closing bars and nightclubs. Russia currently has the fourth highest case toll in the world behind the US, India and Brazil.
In the United Kingdom, the British government is expected to announce a three-tier system of restrictions to simplify the rules and avoid confusion. The move would follow England's Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jonathan Van-Tam's describing the UK as being at a "tipping point" akin to where the country was in March.
Wood Smith also talked about how early voting started today in Georgia, marking the beginning of a three-week period preceding the general election day on Nov. 3. Election officials in some of the largest counties in Georgia are confident that as in-person voting begins, the 2020 general election will not be a repeat of the problem-plagued primary many voters experienced in June of this year.
"All of our workers are trained, all the early voting sites are set up, so we'll be ready to open on Monday morning and serve the voters," said Rick Barron, director of elections and registration for Fulton County, the most populous county in Georgia and home to most of Atlanta.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office plans to deploy field technicians on Nov. 3 to every polling location across the state who are trained to quickly address the most prevalent problems that occurred in June.
Over 90% of the problems encountered during the June primary were concentrated in the metro Atlanta counties of Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb and DeKalb, according to the Secretary of State's office, and Fulton alone was the source of 70% of them.
Numerous organizations across the state have partnered with the Secretary of State's office to recruit poll workers for November. More than 40,000 people have expressed an interest in being poll workers through the state's effort and those names have been passed down to the counties, which bear the responsibility of signing up and training its poll workers.
Cason reported on national news concerning The Nobel Committee awarding its prize in economics to Americans Paul R. Milgrom and Robert B. Wilson. In the announcement on Monday, the committee said Wilson's and Milgrom's research has "benefitted sellers, buyers and taxpayers around the world."
The two developed an improved format in 1994 for the Federal Communications Commission's radio spectrum auctions, which has since been tailored for auctions involving hundreds of billions of dollars, according to the Associated Press.
Work by the two addressed what Wilson called the "snake in the grass strategy," in which a company withholds its interest in an item up for bid before swooping in at the last second.
"It's like sniping an eBay auction," Wilson told the AP. "We had to design rules that at the time sort of restricted that kind of activity."
Milgrom told the AP he was informed of the win by Wilson, who lives across the street. Both economists are based at Stanford University. Milgrom added that colleagues frequently suggested the two might win the economics prize.
Wilson and Milgrom are the latest of seven Americans this year to win Nobel honors. Other Americans laureates this year include poet Louise Gluck, the first American literature winner since 2016, and Adrea Ghez, who will share the physics prize with British scientist Roger Penrose and Germany's Reinhard Genzel.
Mariah Rose ended the show with the Sports Power Minute. Lebron James and the Los Angeles Lakers took home the franchise's 17th NBA Championship and the beautiful Larry O' Brian Trophy in that luxurious Louis Vuitton case in a historic victory.
Despite living in a bubble without his family for the entirety of this NBA restart, the King took home his fourth title and fourth finals MVP despite only getting 16 regular season MVP votes. The matchup was not a close one against Lebron's old team the Miami Heat where the Lakers dominated 106-93.
The win made Jeanie Buss the first female owner to win a chip, tied the Lakers with the celtics at 17 championships, and brought a championship back to LA for the first time since the late Kobe Bryant brought home a chip in 2010.
Anthony Davis told Rachel Nichols after the game, "We didn't let him down."
This also brings an end to the historic NBA bubble where the league managed to have zero positive COVID-19 tests for the entire three months. Now all of the players and staff will be able to return home. Congratulations to Lebron James and the whole Lakers organization.

Undercover inside Britain's new far right
Generation Identity
Generation Identity is a racist movement that calls for 'ethnopluralism', which in practice means separating and segregating people along racial lines.
What is Generation Identity?
The international Identitarian movement started in France with the launch of Génération Identitaire (Generation Identity, or GI), the youth wing of the far-right Bloc Identitaire. It has since spread across the continent with affiliated groups, the most prominent of which in addition to France are based in Germany, Italy and Austria.
In the summer of 2017 leading Identitarians from across Europe came together to launch Defend Europe, a mission to hamper the work of NGOs saving the lives of refugees crossing the Mediterranean. The project raised over €200,000, primarily from American far-right activists, enabling them to rent a ship.
Due to the work of HOPE not hate and others, the mission was dogged by setbacks and mishaps and ultimately failed in terms of its original stated objectives. However, it did serve to raise the profile of Generation Identity which it has subsequently used to expand further across Europe. This includes launching a new branch here in the UK.
What do they believe?
In essence the movement is a reaction against the '68ers and their perceived left-liberal dominance of society. One of the movement's key activists, Markus Willinger, rails in a foundational text for GI against political elites who 'disgust us'.
Martin Sellner, de facto spokesperson for the movement, talks of the need to preserve "ethno cultural identity" which extends back to an ancient European heritage ("30,000 years" according to Sellner) that not only includes their cultural heritage but also their biological heritage.
Martin Sellner, de facto spokesperson of Generation Identity
Indeed, this is put far more explicitly in the UK Generation Identity's own recommended reading, such as Guilliame Faye's Why We Fight – a book in which Faye claims that "Identity's basis is biological; without it the realms of culture […] are unsustainable".
Generation Identity in the UK
Britain's first taste of GI came back in 2013 when Markus Willinger came to London to address a meeting of the far-right Traditional Britain Group. However, besides a video called 'Generation Identity UK: A Declaration of War From The Students of Britain', nothing emerged.
However, in July 2017, at the height of the Defend Europe project, a Facebook page for Generation Identity Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland was launched, billing itself as the "newest branch of the pan-European Identitarian movement".
Since the very start of the new GI UK project HOPE not hate has been receiving information from inside, allowing us to track their progress as it happened.
In late July Jordan Diamond, co-leader of the UK branch, travelled to London to meet Austrian and Norwegian activists to discuss the development of GI in the UK. Later there was a social in London where the handful of existing UK activists got together.
Initial offline activity was confined to putting up stickers and posing for pictures with the movement's black and yellow lambda flag. However, it was clear from the start that the leadership of Generation Identity in Europe had high hopes for the UK branch, seeing it as a wider gateway to the English speaking world.
In a video from the US in late September Sellner directed American and Canadian viewers to the slick and professional website launched in conjunction with the UK branch. Despite having UK leaders the new branch took direction from the Austrian and German leaders and much of the site's content was directly translated from the German GI site.
After having a planned appearance at a UKIP Youth Rally in Sheffield cancelled, partly due to pressure from HOPE not hate, Sellner finally made it to Britain in October. Sellner arrived in the UK alongside the American far-right content creator Brittany Pettibone on the Friday evening (20th) and left the following Thursday. While in London he addressed a meeting organised by the far-right Traditional Britain Group alongside anti-Muslim activist Anne Marie Waters.
We reported from inside the meeting where Sellner said he was planning to turn up at the HOPE not hate offices but no visit materialised.
After the conference, GI activists headed to the Ye Grapes Pub in Shepherds Market, Mayfair, where more threats were made against HOPE not hate. However, Sellner didn't stay long, leaving for a dinner meeting with racial nationalist Nick Griffin, former leader of the British National Party (BNP), where the issue of funding was discussed.
The following day, GI activists reconvened at a large rented flat in Beaufort Gardens, Norbury, to receive guidance from Sellner and to plan their upcoming stunt (a banner drop) and launch. Jonathan Rudolph, from Identitäre Bewegung in Swabia, Germany, was also in attendance.
HOPE not hate will reveal more information on this day-long training session, including footage, at a later date.
After the day's training they went and practised dropping their Generation Identity banner off a road bridge in preparation for their stunt on Westminster Bridge the following day. Early the next morning, to no fanfare and very little press interest, they dropped their banner reading 'Defend London: Stop Islamisation'. This marked the official launch of Generation Identity in the UK.
Interestingly, before flying home, Sellner went to Stephen Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson), former leader of the English Defence League (EDL). Some within GI leadership see Lennon as the possible leader here in the UK, especially considering that Sellner was not impressed with Jordan Diamond and Seb Seccombe (the UK co-leaders).
Sellner's existing concerns will have only been compounded over the last week as, since receiving warning that they will appear in a documentary exposing GI, both UK leaders have gone into panic, distancing themselves from Generation Identity.
Sellner and Tommy Robinson
Despite the growing success of the Identitarian movement in other parts of Europe, it remains to be seen whether the UK branch will ever really get off the ground.
At present they lack quality activists, which might explain why European Generation Identity leaders have been in touch with the Chief Operating Officer and Global Affairs Director of the far-right friendly social network Gab.ai, Utsav Sanduja, with a view to him possibly helping them develop their UK operation.
However, the embarrassing revelation that both ITV and HOPE not hate have had people inside from the very beginning will only serve to make European GI leaders skeptical of the chances of the new UK operation.
PROFILE: JORDAN DIAMOND (CO-LEADER)
Diamond, from Liverpool, has been involved since the start of GI UK and Ireland, having met with other Identitarians to help start the movement here.
Prior to helping leading GI, Diamond expressed his support for the anti-Islam movement Pegida UK, and uploaded a video to his YouTube account of Stephen Lennon AKA Tommy Robinson's speech at the event at their demonstration in Rotherham on 4 June 2016.
In June 2017 Diamond attended the 'UK Against Hate' march in Manchester alongside a cohort of UK anti-Islam activists including Jack Buckby of Rebel Media, previously the press officer of Pegida UK and press officer of the marginal, extreme anti-Islam party Liberty GB.
He also attended a Britain First rally in June and is pictured below with Britain First's Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen.
In June 2017 he joined UKIP to vote for the anti-Muslim leadership candidate Anne Marie Waters
More recently, he supported the explicitly anti-Muslim platform of Anne Marie Waters, attended the far-right gathering of the Traditional Britain Group on 21 October and attended Lennon's book launch in Manchester on 3 November.
Despite regularly tweeting Islamophobia – insinuating Muslims are paedophiles and using the hashtag #IslamKills – he admitted that he had never even read the Koran, tweeting on 28 July, "Just placed an order for my first ever #Koran, thanks @TRobinsonNewEra !".
He also expressed his support for GI's thinly-veiled racist notion of 'ethno-nationalism', which as HOPE not hate recently explained, relies on a fundamentally racial and racist conception of nationalism. On 20 June he tweeted, "ethno-nationalism is the true champion of global #diversity."
He has likewise bought into the conspiratorial, debunked and no-less thinly veiled racist Identitarian idea that there is a 'Great Replacement' threatening "indigenous" Europeans.
Diamond expressed his support for the alt-right during the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally in which anti-fascist activist Heather Heyer was killed. On 12 August he retweeted a tweet stating: "There's absolutely nothing wrong with us Whites loving, supporting, & helping our own race. #UniteTheRight #Charlottesville".
However, perhaps most revealingly, Diamond deleted a retweet of a tweet which suggested that jailing members of the proscribed neo-Nazi 'National Action' group in September for plotting to kill an MP was indicative of a hypocritical attitude towards extremism.
PROFILE: SEBASTIAN SECCOMBE (ALIAS SEB JAMES)
From Lanchester in the North East of England, Sebastian Seccombe is one of the leading figures in the UK GI branch.
He was involved in the 'Don't Fund Terrorism' campaign based around a shop in Sunderland and the 'Justice for Chelsey' campaign, alongside Stephen Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson), formerly of the English Defense League.
According to his LinkedIn he works as a 'Referral Specialist' at the European IT services company Atos, which specializes in, among other things, cybersecurity.
Generation Identity is racist and extreme.
Help prevent them from recruiting and taking root in our society.

Roman and Williams's New Gallery Champions Contemporary Decorative Artists From Around the World
By Elise Taylor
Decorative arts—or the design of high-quality objects that are both beautiful and useful—don't have as many dedicated show spaces as their visual counterparts. An exceptional contemporary painting can be snapped up and shown by a gallery during a flashy opening or fair for purchase or perhaps even acquired by a modern art museum for their ever-expanding collection. Crafts not designated as "antiques," however, have often been devalued as objects that solely belong in the domestic sphere since traditionally, most of their makers have been women. (Take an example from the Bauhaus movement—while Josef Albers achieved international acclaim for his abstract paintings, textiles made by his wife, Anni, actually made the most money for the German school.)
The Guild Gallery, opening in New York City on Friday, wants to change that.
Robin Standefer, one half of interior design firm Roman and Williams, has long been championing contemporary ceramicists and object makers through the her Soho shop, RW Guild. However, RW Guild was, well, just that—a shop. Customers came in looking for everyday things like dinnerware, candlesticks, and vases. "We worked with these artists on a smaller scale," Standefer says. "But we weren't able to fully show their potential."
While visiting Japanese-born ceramicist Akiko Hirai in London, Standefer was transfixed by her Moon Jar. An immense object made from porcelain and ash from an apple tree, the Moon Jar required great physical—and intellectual—labor to complete. Standefer desperately wanted to show Hirai's works to the world, but wondered how. "It was art at a level that really wasn't the purpose of the shop," she admitted. But then, a eureka moment: "They need a proper exhibition," she thought.

And that's something she could execute: Standefer and her husband, Stephen Alesch, had renovated the Metropolitan Museum of Art's British Galleries, which opened in February 2020 to critical acclaim. So when a space opened up right next to RW Guild, Standefer knew exactly what she wanted to do with it.
At a base level, the Guild Gallery is a display space for contemporary design masters. Its inaugural exhibition, "Container and Content," is of Hirai's vases and jars. Each piece is useable, but the point is to demonstrate the object's artistry. "While the Guild celebrates a beauty that derives from function, the Gallery focuses purely on form," explains Standefer.

Standefer and Alesch also hope to change the stagnant belief that art and functional craftwork are mutually exclusive. The Guild now represents 12 artists ("we call them 'artists' because that's who they are," says Standefer) who work in mediums such as marble, wood, and glass. They will show, sell, and promote their works much like a blue-chip gallery in Chelsea does. Everything will be *au courant—*not antique.

Most of all, they will try to educate everyone who walks in that contemporary decorative art is, well, exactly that: an artform. "Objects like these contain profound stories about nature, culture, domesticity and craft," says Standefer.

Q: Adding values (by user) to drop down list populated from db I'm trying to create an "editable" drop down list. I have a drop down list populated from a table "city" in my db, it works perfect but now I want user to be able to add a new value to the list if it doesn't exist there (and I want to save this value, so next time it appears in the drop down list).
Any ideas?
 Thank you
        <select name="city">
    <?php
    // connecting to DB
    $con=  mysqli_connect('localhost','root','1234','e-sage');
    // enable hebrew input
    mysqli_set_charset($con,'utf8');
    // read the city table from DB
    $sql = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT CityName FROM city");
    while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($sql)){
    // creating temporary variable for each row
    $city1=$row["CityName"];
    //assigning a value to each option in dropdown list
    echo "<option value=\"$city1\"> $city1 </option>";
    }
    ?>
    </select>

A: You can provide a 'other' selection in the dropdown. If user selects that then display a new textbox from which you can insert in the database.

A: use datalist tag

A: Then try this:
Lets agree that you already got all the cities in array OK?
<select name="city">
<?PHP
foreach($cities as $city)
{
echo '<option value="'.$city.'">'.$city.'</option>';
}
?>
</select>

<form method="post">
<label for="new_city">New city</label>
<input id="new_city" name="new_city" placeholder="Enter new city name" />
<input type="button" id="addCity" value="Insert city" />
</form>

  <script>
        $(document).on('click','#addCity',function()

                          var new_city=$("#new_city").val();
                          var e=0;
                           $("[name='city'] option").each(function(i,item)
                                                          {
                                                              var check_city=$(item).val();

                                                              if(check_city==new_city)
                                                              {
                                                                 e++;
                                                              }
                                                              else
                                                              {

                                                              }

                                                          });
                           if(e>0)
                           {
                               alert('The same');
                           }
                           else
                           {
                               /*Submit the form*/
alert('This city is fresh and new');

                           }

                       });
    </script>

So the script is checking if the value is already assigned to option. If not - allows to submit the form.

Also on Europe's front pages: Macron's plan to reform med school and Brussels' crumbling palace of justice.
French papers focused on a proposal that could see end-of-year exams nixed for first-year medical students. Libération noted that the exams lead to many students leaving their studies and cause great stress. Le Figaro led with a story and editorial on the approaching U.S. midterms. Le Monde, meanwhile, poked at Emmanuel Macron for "reshuffling without changing direction," noting that his recent Cabinet swaps hadn't led to any real policy changes.
German papers continued to cover the fallout from the far-right rallies in Chemnitz. "There was no mob," Der Tagesspiegel quoted Michael Kretschmer, the minister-president of the Saxony province, as saying. Die Tageszeitung also picked up on Kretschmer's denials. "Did something happen at all?" the paper asked sarcastically.
Le Soir led with a photo of Brussels' Palais de Justice, after a chunk of the building fell on Tuesday due to water exposure. L'Echo also covered the damage, deploying the devastating headline: "A symbol." The paper also reported that a year after TV station TF1 arrived in Belgium, it hasn't proven to be a "Big Bang," as rival media feared. Le Soir also featured a story on compensation for exiting MEPs, noting ex-legislators can receive from four to 48 months of additional salary.

La  , ou neurofibromatose de type , est une des formes des maladies génétiques appelées « neurofibromatoses » (NF) qui a été reconnue seulement récemment. Décrite à l'origine sur des patients japonais, il s'agit de multiples schwannomes cutanés, de tumeurs du système nerveux central et d'autres complications neurologiques, excluant les signes typiques des NF. C'est une maladie rare, affectant seulement autour de 1 personne sur .

Les schwannomes sont, pour la plupart, des tumeurs bénignes qui apparaissent couramment chez des personnes atteintes de NF2 et de schwannomatose (parfois appelées neurofibromatose de type III).
Les cellules de Schwann sont des cellules gliales qui myélinisent les axones des cellules nerveuses.
La myéline est une couche de lipide accélérant la conduction des impulsions nerveuses. Quand les cellules de Schwann prolifèrent hors de contrôle dans une encapsulation, on parle de schwannome.

Bien que les schwannomes soient bénins, ils deviennent invalidants lorsque la tumeur, en grossissant, comprime le nerf.
Les schwannomes sur les nerfs sensitifs causent des douleurs chroniques sévères.
Les traitements possibles sont : la chirurgie pour les extraire, les irradiations, le cyberknife ou l'énucléation intracapsulaire.
Les désignations précédentes pour les schwannomes incluent les neurinomes et les neurilemmomes.

Diagnostic

Prénatal
La schwannomatose ne peut pas être diagnostiquée prénatalement ou dans l'embryon, car le gène n'a pas encore été identifié.

Postnatal
Ferner et al. donnent les critères de diagnostic suivants pour la schwannomatose :
Certain
 Âge>30 ans et >=2 schwannomes non sous-cutanés, au moins un avec confirmation histologique et pas de présence de tumeur vestibulaire sur IRM et pas de mutation NF connue, ou
 Un schwannome non vestibulaire et un parent de premier degré avec une schwannomatose
Possible
 Âge<30 et >=2 schwannomes non sous-cutanés, au moins un avec confirmation histologique et pas de présence de tumeur vestibulaire sur IRM et pas de mutation NF connue, ou
 Âge >45 et >=2 schwannome non sous-cutanés, au moins un avec confirmation histologique et pas de symptôme de dysfonctionnement du  et pas de NF2, ou
 Schwannome non vestibulaire et parent de  avec schwannomatose
Segmentaire
 Diagnostiqué comme certain ou possible mais limité à un membre ou ≤5 segments continus de la colonne vertébrale

Autre groupe de critères
 2  schwannomes ou + cutanés
 Pas de présence de tumeur vestibulaire
 Pas de mutation NF2 connue
ou
 Un schwannome non vestibulaire confirmé pathologiquement et un parent de premier degré qui remplit les critères ci-dessus

Pronostic
Beaucoup de symptômes de la schwannomatose coïncident avec la NF2
 Schwannomes apparaissant à la place de neurofibromes qui sont les signes de la neurofibromatose de type 1 NF1
 Multiples schwannomes se manifestant dans tout le corps ou dans des régions isolées.
 Les schwannomes se développent sur les nerfs crâniens, spinaux et périphériques
Douleurs chroniques et parfois engourdissements, picotements et faiblesses
 À peu près un tiers des patients ont une schwannomatose segmentaire, ce qui signifie que les schwannomes sont limités à une partie du corps, comme un bras, une jambe, ou la colonne.

Il y a plusieurs cas où des patients atteints de schwannomatose ont développé un schwannome vestibulaire (neurinome acoustique). Un neurinome acoustique est un schwannome sur le nerf vestibulaire dans le cerveau. Ce nerf est impliqué dans l'ouïe et les patients avec des schwannomes vestibulaires ont des pertes de l'audition. Cependant, les schwannomes vestibulaires bilatéraux (des deux côtés du cerveau) n'apparaissent pas dans la schwannomatose. Les tumeurs vestibulaires juvéniles n'apparaissent pas non plus dans la schwannomatose.
 Les patients atteints de schwannomatose n'ont pas de troubles d'apprentissage liés à la maladie.
 Les symptômes sont parfois provoqués par des changements hormonaux tels que la puberté ou la grossesse.

Traitement

 Les patients atteints de schwannomatose représentent entre 2,4 % et 5 % des patients subissant une résection de leurs schwannomes
Dans des régions isolées du corps, les schwannomes sont petits et difficiles à localiser. L'échographie préopératoire offre une assistance inestimable dans ces cas en localisant de petits schwannomes et en réduisant le temps et l'étendue de l'incision chirurgicale.
 Quand c'est possible, les schwannomes peuvent être chirurgicalement retirés. Toute douleur associée à une tumeur disparaît habituellement après le retrait de la tumeur. Les nerfs endommagés et les cicatrices peuvent être le résultat d'une chirurgie et la douleur peut être un problème persistant.
 Parfois une tumeur réapparaîtra au même endroit après une chirurgie.
 Si la chirurgie est impossible, la prise en charge de la douleur doit être envisagée. La schwannomatose peut causer des douleurs sévères et intraitables avec le temps.
 À part la chirurgie, avec prise en charge subséquente de la douleur, il n'existe pas d'autre traitement ni aucun médicament pour traiter la maladie.
 La radiochirurgie Gamma Knife peut être réalisée sur des tumeurs de la tête pour aider à stopper la croissance d'une tumeur bien qu'il n'y ait aucune garantie que cela réussisse. L'Université de Pittsburgh a fait une étude sur plus de 829 cas et a rapporté que 97 % des patients ont bénéficié d'un contrôle tumoral à long terme (défini par l'absence de traitement supplémentaire nécessaire) grâce à la radiochirurgie Gamma Knife.
 Récemment, de nombreuses avancées ont été faites dans le traitement des schwannomes. L'une d'elles est le CyberKnife, fabriqué par Accuray. Le taux de réussite, bien que les données soient limitées, semble être de l'ordre de 90%.
 Comme la plupart des schwannomes sont bénins, beaucoup de docteurs prendront l'approche «  attendre et voir » et laisseront les tumeurs tranquilles avant qu'elles ne commencent à causer des effets secondaires douloureux. Les patients atteints de schwannomatose présentent de multiples tumeurs et les risques d'avoir de multiples chirurgies dépassent les bénéfices escomptés.

Étiologie

Le gêne candidat pour la schwannomatose, appelé SMARCB1, est un gène suppresseur de tumeurs qui régule le cycle de la cellule, sa croissance et sa différenciation. Une mutation inhibitrice de la lignée germinale sur l'exon 1 sur le gène suppresseur de tumeur SMARCB1 a été rapporté sur des patients atteints de schwannomatose. Il est localisé sur le chromosome 22 à courte distance du gène NF2. Toutefois, les analyses moléculaires du gène NF2 chez des patients atteints de schwannomatose ont montré la présence de mutations inhibitrices dans les cellules tumorales, mais pas de preuves de mutations de la lignée germinale chez des patients atteints de NF2.

Un mécanisme impliquant à la fois les gènes SMARCB1 et NF2 pourrait être responsable du développement de la maladie car les analyses tumorales des schwannomes indiquent la présence de mutations inhibitrices à la fois sur les gènes SMARCB1 et NF2.
Toutefois, certaines hypothèses suggèrent dans la plupart des cas l'implication d'un ou de plusieurs gènes non identifiés de la schwannomatose. C'est ainsi qu'une étude n'a pas trouvé de mutations germinales sur le gène SMARCB1 dans des cas de schwannomatoses familiales. Certains patients n'ont pas de mutations sur les gènes SMARCB1 ou NF2. De plus, beaucoup de patients montrent une mosaïque somatique dans les mutations des gènes SMARCB1 et NF2, ce qui signifie que des cellules somatiques ont la mutation et d'autres non. Enfin, la genèse tumorale des schwannomes ne dépend pas seulement d'un locus génétique isolé. En ce qui concerne les gènes SMARCB1 et NF2, il est important de comprendre les mutations constitutionnelles et les mutations somatiques. Les mutations constitutionnelles sont les premiers événements inhibiteurs qui sont souvent de petites mutations, telles des mutations ponctuelles et des insertions/suppressions d'une seule paire de bases. Les mutations somatiques sont des mutations secondaires qui surviennent et peuvent être aussi de petites mutations ou la perte de l'allèle restante du gène. Les schwannomes d'un patient partagent les mêmes mutations constitutionnelles mais peuvent présenter des mutations somatiques distinctes. De plus, les mutations constitutionnelles peuvent être présentes dans des cellules saines.

SMARCB1 est aussi connu sous le nom de INI1, hSNF5, ou BAF47. SMARCB1 est muté dans d'autres types de tumeurs tels que des tumeurs malignes du cerveau et du rein chez l'enfant. Il semblerait que les mutations hétérozygotes dans le gène SMARCB1 ont un risque élevé de développer une tumeur maligne du rein tôt dans l'enfance mais si l'enfant survit jusqu'à l'âge adulte, il sera prédisposé au développement de schwannomes. Un patient atteint de schwannomatose aura une mutation dans l'exon 2 du gène SMARCB1. Un autre patient montrera une nouvelle suppression de la lignée germinale du SMARCB1, car la plupart des mutations de SMARCB1 sont ponctuelles ou décalantes (déphasages). Chez ce patient, l'analyse génétique des différents schwannomes indiquera l'inactivation à la fois des gènes SMARCB1 et NF2. La schwannomatose est connue pour être une maladie génétique, toutefois les cas familiaux sont inexplicablement rares.

Mercedes sues Cobasys battery supplier; ML450 hybrid SUV delayed
Motortrend Staffwriter
Without hybrid batteries, Mercedes-Benz will likely have some difficulties selling the ML450 hybrid SUV scheduled for late 2009. At least, that's when the Mercedes ML450 was scheduled for release before the automaker claimed its battery supplier, Cobasys, didn't deliver the goods it agreed to build. As a result of the delay, Mercedes is suing Cobasys and says there is no "commercially reasonable" way for its new hybrid SUV to meet launch dates.
The suit alleges that Cobasys, a joint venture between Energy Conversion Devices Inc. and a division of Chevron Corp., lied about the company's stability to keep a potential customer, Automotive News Europe reports. Mercedes says it paid Cobasys $6 million to produce and deliver batteries. In December (after months of discussion and price adjustments), Cobasys told Mercedes it would not sign the purchase order due to an ongoing dispute between the battery supplier's parent companies.
Cobasys also builds batteries for the Saturn Aura, Saturn VUE, and Chevrolet Malibu mild hybrids, all of which were delayed last winter because Chevron and Energy Conversion Devices fought over who should be financially responsible for Cobasys. Even though battery leakage forced a recall of 9000 General Motors mild hybrid vehicles, GM is reportedly working out a deal to buy Cobasys.
Mercedes's suit says Cobasys held the automaker as a prospective buyer in case the new owners of Cobasys wanted to strike an agreement to build the batteries.
"[Mercedes] remains committed to production of its hybrid vehicle and is working diligently with all of its suppliers in order to meet our goals," says Mercedes spokeswoman Felyicia Jerald. "The hybrid battery to be supplied as agreed by Cobasys is an obvious component of this launch."

The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) is a government agency in the executive branch state of Montana in the United States with responsibility for ensuring sustainable development of the state's land, mineral, natural gas, oil, timber, water, and other resources.

History
Almost two-thirds of Montana voters approved of Amendment 2, the Montana Executive Department Allocation Amendment, on November 3, 1970. This amendment required that there be no more than 20 state executive or administrative offices, agencies, boards, bureaus, or commissions. The Montana Legislature passed enabling legislation, the Executive Reorganization Act, in 1971, which gave Governor Forrest H. Anderson the legal authority to reorganize state government. On December 20, 1971, Governor Anderson used this authority to create, by executive order, the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation. The agency superseded the Montana Council on Natural Resources and Development, Montana Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, Montana State Board of Forestry, Montana State Conservation Commission, Montana State Forester, and Montana Water Resources Board.

Organization and budget

Director and organization
Amanda Kaster was appointed the current Director of Montana DNRC by Governor Greg Gianforte.

DNRC has six divisions:
 The Director's Office—This division provides policy and managerial leadership for the department, and administrative support services to itself and other divisions, boards, and commissions.
 Oil and Gas Conservation Division—This division supports the Board of Oil and Gas. The board has the statutory authority to issue oil and gas drilling permits; classify oil and natural gas wells; administer completion, disaster, and reclamation bonds for oil and natural gas wells; oversees and regulates the plugging of abandoned oil and natural gas wells; and levies civil and criminal fines on drillers and well operators who violate state law and board regulations. Previously the administrative and technical arm of the Board of Oil and Gas Conservation, this division has only minimal attachment to the department.
 Conservation and Resource Development Division—This division provides technical and administrative assistance to conservation districts in the state. It also makes grants and loans to these districts.
 Water Resources Division—This division oversees dam safety; floodplain programs; the development, regulation, and operation of state-financed water development projects; water development and use planning; and the verification, examination, and filing of existing and future water rights.
 Forestry Division—This division oversees the development, management, operation, and regulation of state forests. It also provides forest and prairie fire prevention and fire suppression services.
 Trust Land Management Division—This division manages of trust lands owned by the State of Montana.

In addition to its divisions, nine boards and commissions are attached to the department for administrative purposes only: Board of Land Commissioners, Board of Oil and Gas Conservation, Board of Water Well Contractors, Drought Advisory Committee, Flathead Basin Commission, Montana Grass Conservation Commission, Rangeland Resources Committee, Reserved Water Rights Compact Commission, and the Resource Conservation Advisory Council.

Budget and personnel
The DNRC had a total budget of $240.6 million in 2016. Trust lands generated 48 percent of its budget. Revenue operations (fees, services, etc.) generated another 21 percent of all revenues, with general state revenues adding 12 percent and interest on debt another 10 percent.

The DNRC had 523.8 full-time equivalent employees in 2016.

The Sutyagin House was a wooden structure in Arkhangelsk, Russia. The 13-story, 144-foot tall residence of a local entrepreneur Nikolai Petrovich Sutyagin was reported to be the world's tallest wooden house.
Sutyagin began building in 1992 and in the original plans, it was only going to reach two stories high, a normal house. Yet he was inspired by the vernacular architecture and wooden houses of Japan and Norway to keep going.
"First I added three floors but then the house looked ungainly, like a mushroom," he told the Daily Telegraph in a 2007 interview. "So I added another and it still didn't look right so I kept going. What you see today is a happy accident."
Constructed by Sutyagin and his family over 15 years, without formal plans or a building permit, the structure deteriorated while Sutyagin spent a few years in prison on racketeering charges.
Sadly in 2008, the house was condemned as a fire hazard, and ordered to be destroyed. (Most of the town is built of wood and the concern was that it would catch on fire, fall over, and then cause the entire town to burn.) Beginning with the tower, most of the house pulled down and reduced to a pile of wooden fragments.
What remained as of late 2009 was a small two-story wooden house, roughly the size of what Sutyagin had originally planned to build, before dreams of a wooden tower took hold. These structures were finally destroyed in a fire in 2012.

Are you one of the millions of PC users with a laptop or a desktop system with an integrated GPU as well as a discrete GPU? Before Windows 10 and DirectX 12, all the performance potential from the second GPU goes unused. With DirectX 12 and Windows 10, application developers can use every GPU on the system simultaneously!
Are you an elite power gamer with multiple graphics cards? Well, by giving the applications direct control over all of the hardware on the system, applications can optimize more effectively for the ultra-high end, squeezing even more performance out of the most powerful systems available today and in the future.
We're calling this DX12 feature "Multiadapter", and applications can use it to unlock all that silicon that would otherwise be sitting dormant doing nothing.
At //build 2015 we both announced the Multiadapter feature and showed several examples of how it can be used.
Square Enix created a demo called "WITCH CHAPTER 0 [cry]" running on DirectX 12 and we were very happy to be able to show it at //build 2015.
With about 63 million polygons per scene and 8k by 8k textures, the demo showed the unprecedented level of detail you can achieve with DirectX 12 and Windows 10.
The demo utilized four NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X cards enabling Square Enix to achieve extremely realistic cinematic level rendering; only instead of pre-rendered content, this was being rendered in real-time!
This demonstrated the upper end of what's possible using multiple high power GPUs and DirectX 12.
Take a look at the live demo video from April 30th's Keynote Presentation.
Now let's take a look at how DirectX 12's Multiadapter is also designed to extract all the power from a variety of mixed power hardware.
We used Epic Games' DX12 Unreal Engine 4 to split the rendering workload across an integrated Intel GPU and a discrete NVIDIA GPU to showcase how it is possible to use two disparate GPUs simultaneously to maximize performance.
To show how this extra boost can help gamers, we set up a race between a single discrete NVIDIA GPU and a Multiadapter configuration consisting of the same single discrete GPU + an integrated Intel GPU. In this race, each configuration rendered 635 frames of the UE4 Elemental demo as quickly as it was able to.
The results below show that the Multiadapter configuration manages to beat the single adapter configuration in a race to 635 frames. At the end of the benchmark, we can calculate the overall fps where Multiadapter comes out as the definitive winner.
Looking to the future, this tells us that the opportunity exists to extract even more performance out of the demo hardware.
DirectX 12 already helps you maximize performance by bringing apps closer to the metal. At //build 2015, we have shown you a glimpse of the performance possibilities with DirectX 12 and how it can light up that precious but dormant silicon already in your machine using Multiadapter.
The fine grained-control over ALL of the hardware in the system offered by DirectX 12 gives game developers the power to use techniques that were simply not possible in DirectX 11. Our Multiadapter demos only scratch the surface of what creative game developers can do now that they have the ability to directly use ALL of the graphics hardware in the system, even if such hardware has different capabilities and is from different manufacturers.

The County of Suffolk is a shire of East Anglia, which along with Norfolk, is one of only two counties entirely east of the Prime Meridian.
Suffolk's long border with its northern neighbour Norfolk is marked by the River Little Ouse from its source to the Great Ouse to the west; and by the River Waveney from its source to the sea, the two rivers rising within yards of each other in Little Fen and flowing in opposite directions. Suffolk's border with Essex is marked by the River Stour from Haverhill near the county's western border to the Stour Estuary and the sea. It also has a border in the west with Cambridgeshire. The North Sea washes its flat, eastern shore. Here is found the easternmost point of the United Kingdom; Lowestoft Ness, beyond which lies only the sea, empty of any further islands.
The county town of Suffolk is Ipswich, an ancient seaport which remains the county's largest town. Other important towns include Lowestoft, Bury St Edmunds and Felixstowe, one of the largest container ports in Europe.[1] Newmarket, the home of horse-racing, is in the west of the county, in a bubble surrounded by Cambridgeshire.
The county is low-lying with few hills; the highest point of the county is Great Wood Hill, the highest point of the Newmarket Ridge in the very west of the county near the village of Rede, which reaches 420 feet. The rest of the county is largely arable land and wetland habitats. The wetlands of The Broads cover much of the north-east of Suffolk and large parts of Norfolk. The Suffolk Coast and Heaths are an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty".

The hundreds of Suffolk
Suffolk has a mixture of modest towns, villages and many scattered hamlets. Many of the towns have a rich history, for in Anglo-Saxon times Suffolk was the heart of the Kingdom of East Anglia and later at the forefront of the Danish incursions, and during the later Middle Ages amongst these little towns a great deal of wealth was found from wool (hence the great "wool churches" such as that in Lavenham). The oldest documented structural element of a still inhabited dwelling in Britain is found in Clare.
Most of all, Suffolk is known for its pretty villages, featuring in many a painting. The villages abound with broad greens, thatched cottages brightly painted, and that particular East Anglian art, pargeting (shaped plaster).
The largest towns are:
Haverhill (partly in Essex)
Ipswich (county town)
Newmarket (partly in Cambridgeshire)
Additionally, parts of the towns of Great Yarmouth and Thetford, otherwise in Norfolk extend into Suffolk.
Geology, landscape and ecology
The Waveney near Bungay
Much of Suffolk is low-lying on Eocene sand and clays. These rocks are relatively unresistant and the coast is eroding rapidly. The major town of Dunwich has been almost entirely washed away over the ages. Coastal defences have been used to protect several towns, but several cliff-top houses have been lost to coastal erosion in the past, and others are under threat. The continuing protection of the coastline and the estuaries, including the Blyth, Alde and Deben, has been, and remains, a matter of considerable discussion.[2]
The coastal strip to the East contains an area of heathland known as "The Sandlings" which runs almost the full length of the coastline.[3]
The west of the county lies on more resistant Cretaceous chalk. This chalk is the north-eastern extreme of the Southern England Chalk Formation that stretches from Dorset in the south-west to Dover in the south-east. The Chalk is less easily eroded so forms the only significant hills in the county.
Western Suffolk is, like nearby eastern Cambridgeshire, renowned for archaeological finds from the Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Bronze Age artefacts have been found in the area between Mildenhall and West Row, in Eriswell and in Lakenheath[4]. Many bronze objects, such as swords, spearheads, arrows, axes, palstaves, knives, daggers, rapiers, armour, decorative equipment (in particular for horses) and fragments of sheet bronze, are entrusted to the Moyse's Hall Museum in Bury St Edmunds. Other finds include traces of cremations and barrows.
Sutton Hoo burial mound
Sutton Hoo in the east of the county is the site of one of England's most significant Anglo-Saxon archæological finds. Here, buried within a man-made mound, was found a ship burial containing a rich collection of treasures. Little trace of the ship itself was found, and no trace of the body, long since rotted away, but the remains of armour, jewellery, drinking vessels, gold and silver bowls and a lyre were found, together with some objects defying complete interpretation.
The place is assumed to be the burial place of an East Anglian king, possibly Rædwald the Bretwalda, thus placing his capital within this part of Suffolk.
The majority of agriculture in Suffolk is either arable or mixed. Farm sizes vary from anything around 80 acres to over 8,000. Soil types vary from heavy clays through to light sands. Crops grown include winter wheat, winter barley, sugar beet, oilseed rape, winter and spring beans and linseed, although smaller areas of rye and oats can be found in lighter areas along with a variety of vegetables.
The continuing importance of agriculture in the county is reflected in the Suffolk Show, which is held annually in May at Ipswich. Although latterly somewhat changed in nature, this remains primarily an agricultural show.
Horses on Newmarket Heath
The town of Newmarket is the headquarters of British horseracing. Here is found the largest cluster of training yards in the country, many key horse racing organisations, including the National Stud,[5] and Newmarket Racecourse.
Tattersalls bloodstock auctioneers and the National Horseracing Museum are also in the town. Point to point racing takes place at Higham and Ampton.[6]

Three Women. One Mission
At a time when the country is seeking to make the education system more learner centered and competence based, three women – Janet Mwitiki, Sabrina Habib and Sheela Bowler – show it is possible. The trio came together to start a social enterprise that aims to improve access to high-quality, affordable early childhood care and education to families living in poverty. They spoke to LILY RONOH-WAWERU on nurturing children from informal settlements.
They say there is strength in diversity and this is evident in the partnership among Janet Mwitiki (Kenyan), Sabrina Habib (Canadian) and Sheela Bowler (American). The three were brought together by their passion in childcare and early childhood education. Coincidentally, they had all witnessed the sorry state of childcare and early education in informal settlements and were touched. It was thus a matter of when, not if, they would get into the trenches and change the state of affairs.
By a stroke of luck, or was it fate, their paths crossed and there was no looking back.
"I was developing a model for affordable, quality childcare when I came across Sheela's work. I reached out to discuss the possibility of partnering and learning from each other's experiences. When we were ready to launch our first centre, we realised we needed someone who would understand our vision and help us implement it. It was at this time that we were introduced to Janet and Kidogo was ready to take off," Sabrina, Kidogo's co-founder and chief exploration officer, explains.
Kidogo was born out of a need to address poor quality childcare, abuse and neglect that are inherent in daycare centres in urban informal settlements, which exposes children to danger.
"We realised that many women living in informal settlements lack quality childcare options as they go to work thereby placing the health and nutritional needs of their children at high risk. But with Kidogo, mothers can rest assured that their children will be safe and well taken care of," Janet, the director of learning and play at Kidogo, sheds light on the plight of mothers in informal settlements.
To achieve its goals, Kidogo uses a Hub and Spoke model. Sheela explains that the Hubs are best practice model of early childhood centres operated by Kidogo to provide quality childcare and education services for children between the ages of six months to six years. The Hubs, situated in informal settlements such as Kibera and Kangemi, offer all the building blocks children need to thrive. The Hubs promote play-based curriculum in line with global best practices in early childhood education, with qualified caregivers from the local community.
"The Spokes component of our model supports women, or Mamapreneurs as we call them, who run daycare centres within the informal settlements. We equip them with training; resources and mentorship to ensure their centres offer quality childcare sustainably. Through supporting community childcare in our Spokes programme, we expand our reach so that as many children as possible get the best start to life," Sheela explains.
But perhaps what makes Kidogo stand out is its play-based, child-centered and holistic approach to early childhood dubbed "The Kidogo Way." The curriculum aligns with the Kenya Institute for Curriculum Development standards, and places emphasis on play, socio-emotional development, problem solving and creative thinking for holistic development of the child. The Kidogo Way discourages rote learning of academic skills by presenting them in developmentally appropriate ways, which focus on the individual child.
"We work closely with parents and community leaders to demonstrate the value of play-based, child-centered learning. We also engage in advocacy with government and non-governmental stakeholders to spread the word on the importance of play-based care and education, particularly during the earliest years," says Sheela, Kidogo's chief operations superhero.
"Our aim is to equip our children with lifelong strategies that enable them to succeed in primary school and beyond," she concludes.
