THE last eight days of the 2007/08 season were cruel to Watton United.
They saw the Anglian Combination Division One title snatched away from them on goal difference when Loddon United leapfrogged into top spot with a 7-1 drubbing of bottom-of-the-table, Fakenham.
Then they were beaten 1-0 by Premier Division Hempnall in the Senior Knock-Out Cup final at Trafford Park, Wroxham.
At the final whistle, Watton's players were understandably dejected. However, they can count themselves very unlucky to have finished up on the losing side, as joint-managers Derbyshire and Vince Harwood made clear.
But both men expressed their great pride in the way their team performed - not just in the cup final but all season.
"The boys should hold their heads up high - every one of them," Derbyshire insisted.
The future surely could not be brighter if this young group of players stays together. The average age of the squad for the cup final was just 22.
In the end, it may actually have been lack of experience that cost Watton the trophy.
They more than matched their opponents throughout the game and had the clearer scoring chances.
But when Hempnall stole the lead in the 78th minute, United's players lost their heads a little in their desperation to draw level.
Watton had chances - when Bloomfield drilled in a low shot which was blocked by the keeper and the ball ran agonisingly just inches wide.
Nichols and Sharpe had headed efforts. At the other end, Mark Woods did well to deal with one awkward ball in from a corner and young keeper Matt Webster brilliantly tipped over a free-kick.

No campo da astronáutica, uma órbita de espera, é uma órbita temporária na qual um satélite, uma sonda ou uma
espaçonave são inseridos, e ficam em estado de "espera" até que, no momento oportuno, sejam acionados motores que vão direcioná-los ao objetivo
final, em geral um outro planeta.

No caso, o veículo lançador coloca a sonda ou espaçonave, (geralmente junto com o último estágio) em órbita, esse conjunto fica flutuando por um tempo, enquanto
pequenos ajustes na trajetória são efetuados. Num determinado momento especificamente calculado, o motor do último estágio do foguete lançador ou da própria sonda
ou espaçonave, é acionado, impulsionando-a para a trajetória pretendida.

O processo de usar uma "órbita de espera" é oposto ao processo chamado "injeção direta", onde a sonda ou espaçonave é colocada na sua trajetória final, num
processo contínuo de impulsão do veículo lançador.

Justificativa de uso
Existem vários motivos pelos quais uma órbita de espera pode ser usada.

 Ela pode aumentar para algumas horas a "janela de lançamento", para missões interplanetárias. Essa "janela", fica reduzida a alguns segundos ou minutos, caso ela não seja usada.
 Em missões interplanetárias ou orbitais (diferentes de LEO), a última impulsão deve ser executada quando a sonda, espaçonave ou satélite estiver no hemisfério Sul, por exemplo.
 Para missões de órbitas geoestacionárias, o local correto para a última impulsão, é próximo ao equador. Nesses casos, o foguete é lançado, coloca a carga útil numa órbita de espera, flutua por um tempo até que esteja sobre o equador, e então aciona o motor novamente para entrar na órbita de transferência desejada.
 Nas missões tripuladas para a Lua, a órbita de espera, permitia verificações nos sistemas de bordo ainda próximo a Terra, antes de partir para a missão lunar.
 Ela é necessária se a órbita desejada, possui um perigeu muito alto. Nesse caso, o veículo é colocado numa órbita de espera elíptica, flutua por um tempo, até atingir o ponto mais alto da elipse, quando é impulsionado mais uma vez, para atingir o perigeu desejado.

A figura ilustra as duas primeiras justificativas.

Desvantagens
A desvantagem mais clara na órbita de espera, é que o último estágio do foguete precisa flutuar por um tempo e ser acionado novamente em condições de microgravidade.
Além disso, a duração dos dois acionamentos (o de injeção em órbita e o final), depende de "onde", na janela de lançamento, ele deve ocorrer para que o destino final
seja atingido.

An unfortunate accident left Jonathan with a very noticeable traumatic scar in the left eyebrow. Due to his active teenage lifestyle, camouflage makeup was not an option and permanent makeup (tatooing) would simply color the skin and wouldn't address the large loss of eyebrow hair. A single session of transplantation was performed by Dr. Bauman directly into the eyebrow scar using hundreds of single hair follicles harvested from the scalp.
It is a common myth that scar tissue does not support hair growth. Hair follicles can be successfully transplanted into scar tissue and result in living and growing hair. Eyebrow transplantation is performed under comfortable local anesthesia and takes a few hours. Careful, accurate planning and meticulous implantation is required to obtain the correct angle, orientation and position of the transplanted follicles so the resulting growth blends naturally. The resulting transplanted hair needs to be trimmed every six to eight weeks. The "after" photos in Jonathan's case were taken 18 months post-operatively. Click here for more eyebrow transplant photos.
Similar techniques can be used to cover scars on the scalp from trauma or surgical procedures (like neurosurgery or plastic surgery). Dr. Bauman is often asked to perform post-plastic surgery hair transplantation to cover scars and hair loss from browlifts and facelifts. Hair loss in the sideburns, temples, around the ear, on the back of the neck, etc. can be covered using Dr. Bauman's advanced hair transplantation techniques.
The eyebrow transplant procedure can be used to restore living and growing follicles into the eyebrow area. Eyebrow loss can occur in both men and women, and is most commonly due to injury, trauma, overplucking or aging. Under comfortable local anesthesia (using the FDA-appoved Ouchless Needle), scalp hair follicles are moved one-at-a-time into the eyebrow area. Artistic planning and meticulous angulation of each hair is critical to the naturalness of the final result. After several days of healing, the eyebrow skin returns to normal and the transplanted follicles are dormant. Hair will begin to appear first as stubble, starting approximately 6-12 weeks later growing longer and more dense as the weeks go by. The final 'result' of an eyebrow transplant takes 8-10 months to grow in*. The transplanted hairs will need to be routinely trimmed.
NEW: Eyebrow transplants by Dr. Alan Bauman can now be performed with the no-scalpel/no-stitch harvesting technique called NeoGraft FUE for quicker and more comfortable recovery.
Depending on the desired degree of coverage some patients typically require one or two procedures.
Dr. Alan Bauman has performed eyebrow transplantation as a routine part of his full-time hair restoration practice. For more information, please email Dr. Bauman directly at Email Dr. Bauman.
Not just a phenomenon in women, eyebrow loss is being noticed increasingly in men. Eyebrow transplantation can be used to restore a more natural shape and density to male eyebrows. Loss can occur due to trauma and illness, as well as aging. The photo below shows the result of eyebrow transplantation in a male patient, performed by Dr. Bauman. The patient was concerned about a shortening of the length of his brows (loss of the outer, lateral ends), as well as a loss of density. Notice the improvement in density as well as the improved shape, especially toward the outer edges of the brows following the transplant procedure. The photos were taken 'before' and twelve months 'after' a single session of eyebrow transplantation. For more information on eyebrow transplantation, email Email Dr. Bauman click here for a larger male eyebrow transplant photoHere is another example of results from a Male Eyebrow Transplant. This result is seen after six months and will continue to improve over the next few months. Already, you can see the improvement in the density and shape of the brow area.
Eyebrow transplantation can now be performed using the minimally-invasive, no-scalpel, no-stitch harvesting approach called NeoGraft FUE. NeoGraft allows individual follicles or follicular units to be harvested without leaving a linear scar and with a shorter, more comfortable healing phase.
Dr. Bauman has harvested hundreds of thousands of follicles using the NeoGraft FUE procedure for scalp hair, eyebrows and other restorations of living and growing hair.
See how eyebrow transplantation affects the eyebrow area… a more youthful, aesthetic 'frame' to the eye area is seen with the restoration of the eyebrow.

Renewal in Ukraine in parishes
The Renewal in the Ukraine is rather new and it has an accepted a place of service in the parishes. The Krasyliv School of Evangelization is serving all over the country.
We received this spontaneous report from Tanya Kulykivska of the Charismatic Community "Love of Christ". It illustrates the place of the Renewal in the parishes, like representative Oksana Ostapovych told us in our European meeting last March in Budapest.
Tanya Kulykivska: "Let me tell you several words about my community:
The name of my community is "Love of Christ". It was founded 12 years ago. Nowadays there are 74 members in it. At the head of our community there is the community council, which consists of 3 persons. One of these three persons is called "the main responsible". We also have a priest, who is our spiritual adviser.
Each Sunday our community leads worship meeting in our parish church. To this worship meeting usually come people from our community, from our parish and even just from streets. In our parish we also lead intercession prayers.
In Vinnytsya (this the name of our city) there is a branch of the Krasyliv School of Evangelization, and our community is responsible for this branch and for its activity.
Our community also leads different spiritual retreats in our community, for our parish, for other parishes in different cities and towns.
Our main desire is to worship our Lord and bring His message of love and freedom to this world."

The annual Wohlers Report has become the most highly anticipated guide to the additive manufacturing industry since its first publication 23 years ago. With 76 co-authors in 32 countries, the report represents knowledge and expertise from the largest global network of AM professionals. As new players enter the market, from system manufacturers and material producers to software and service providers, Wohlers Report 2018 is undoubtedly the go-to guide for the latest insights and forecasts into the world of 3D printing.
This year is no different, with the 2018 edition highlighting several key insights, including news that metal AM system sales have increased by an impressive 80%. Also, the news looks positive for the additive manufacturing as a whole, with the industry seeing a 21% growth last year.
Terry Wohlers, founder and President of Wohlers Associates, is one of the industry's leading voices, and oversees the publication of the Wohlers Report. We were fortunate enough to speak with Terry about the findings from the latest report, the challenges faced for companies implementing additive manufacturing and his thoughts on the future of AM.
What were the most exciting findings from Wohlers Report 2018?
One of the most interesting findings of all was the dramatic growth of metal AM machines. Sales grew by 80% in 2017, which is a large increase, given that we've been tracking sales of metal AM systems for 18 years. Clearly, sales of metal AM systems are gaining significant traction.
Another finding is the increase in the overall number of manufacturers producing industrial AM systems. For years, we've separated AM systems into desktop machines that sell for under $5,000 — the average selling price of which is about $1,000.
The second category is the industrial systems that sell for above $5,000 — and this is where it gets interesting. We've seen the number of companies selling industrial AM systems grow from 97 in 2016 to 135 companies last year, and 60 of them are in Europe. So the rise in the number of AM system manufacturers is another interesting trend that we're seeing.
What factors do you attribute the growth in metal AM systems to?
Companies are buying a higher quantity of metal AM systems to meet their production needs. Over the past few years, a number of companies have bought one or two systems for testing and qualifying the process and materials. Now, companies are adding system for production, which requires significantly more capacity.
Another reason is that Desktop Metal reported system sales for the very first time last year, which amounted to 357 AM systems. This makes up a large percentage of the total metal AM machines sold in 2017. Likewise, we discovered 12 Chinese companies that are now manufacturing and selling metal AM systems and estimated 213 systems sold by these companies last year.
How much growth in additive manufacturing are we seeing in overseas markets?
We're seeing more development in China than in many other regions. Likewise, we're seeing interesting activity in Japan, Singapore and a few other countries. China is clearly capitalising on the potential of additive manufacturing, and wants to be a big part of the industry in the future.
As additive manufacturing is increasingly adopted by companies and manufacturers, what challenges will they have to face in implementing the technology?
The challenges faced in implementing AM technology are not always well understood by companies. One obstacle is the preparation of data and optimising the designs for production. The second obstacle is post-processing, which involves everything that occurs after the parts have been produced on the AM machine.
With metal AM, many steps are involved to ensure quality. This includes properly removing the powder and going through a stress relief heating cycle so that the parts do not warp and distort from the heat residual stress built up in the parts when they are removed from the build plate. A lot of time is often required to cut and grind away the support structures. Other steps include CNC machining and other finishing work, as well as hot isostatic pressing, which helps to ensure that the part does not contain any porosity. Some of the steps depend on the application of the part.
Those are among the obstacles and considerations that companies they may be unaware of beforehand. It's very important to understand them because they require a substantial commitment and investment.
How much of a role will automation play in streamlining the processes you've outlined?
Post-process automation will play a key role. One key issue is how to minimise the need for support structures, since that's a big part of the reason why you'd want to implement automation. Reducing them in advance will result in reducing the cost of programming robots and fine-tuning the automation process.
Users of metal AM should also ask how they can optimise the design to reduce the number of support structures, or even eliminate them in some cases. Creative techniques can be applied to achieve this, although it depends largely on the design. Overall, automation will play a big role in post-processing, from automated material handling, to moving and positioning heavy build plates with parts attached to them.
Finally, what's the next trend in AM that you're most excited about?
One important trend is the development of design software tools for AM. The next step is for them to become fully and seamlessly integrated in to popular CAD software products. Ideally, designers prefer to work in a single design environment without the need to move data from one software product to another. I am seeing more resources being poured into developing strong, integrated design tools. Companies such as Autodesk, Dassault, PTC, and Siemens are beginning to take AM seriously and exploring ways to make it as easy and as painless as possible for designers of all types to optimise their designs for additive manufacturing.

To guarantee this consistency, we buy our polymer from the same reliable partners every month. Then, we process the same material grade on the same extruders using the same processes, every time.
What is five layer film?
Five layers refers to the five different layers of film which come together to form polythene in the extrusion process. Our five layer production equipment makes maximum protection barrier films. This high strength flexible packaging film provides the perfect barrier properties against gases and moisture to ensure longer shelf life. This multilayer barrier films also preserves the taste, aroma, flavour, colour and texture of your edible products.
Of course, Palagan also offers one, two and three layer polythene films.
We have some of the best in-line printing capabilities in the UK. Our colour printers are fitted to every extruder enabling us to print simple warning notices to product branding. This unique production process guarantees fast product delivery and cost effectiveness.
Printing choices include solvent and water-based printing options as well as weatherable ink formulations.
Each year, we convert polythene film into millions of bags, covers, sheets and form, fill and seal films. We design and develop packaging solutions to meet your exact requirements. We extrude, print and convert in one continuous production process to provide fast turnarounds all year round.
We convert bags and covers either loose (as singles) or perforated on a roll. We offer perforations, to allow air to escape or the contained product to breathe. Once converted, we pack into boxes, polypacks or perforated on a roll. We meet your requirements for racking height, roll diameter and pallet size.
Innovation and imagination are essential in creating new polythene products that are stronger, efficient, sustainable and cost effective. Our Innovation Team are continuously improving the exciting films we produce. We have world-class people and resources with dedicated innovation specialists throughout the organisation to help make our imaginative ideas come to life.
Our research into lightweight, yet stronger, flexible and sustainable packaging materials, coupled with our investment in the latest of equipment technology are guaranteed to reduce your cost and carbon footprint.
We value engineer every product we deliver. We spend time at your facility understanding your processing needs and recommend the minimum film thickness. We also continually evaluate our manufacturing processes to improve film performance and minimise waste. Everything you receive is always of the best value, with no compromise on quality. That's great news for business and the environment.
Our Innovation Team work tirelessly to create thinner, stronger films to reduce the total amount of plastic and energy used. All our polythene is 100% recyclable. Instead of going to landfill, it can be recycled back into polymer. Ask our Customer Service team about how we can help you recycle used polythene and earn money back at the same time.
We believe the future is carbon positive. We have developed SupaGreen, our environmentally improving film that makes the world a better place.

Q: in C how to pass local function variable value to another function and print value without errors #include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int give_options();

int give_options(){

    printf("===== MENU 1 =====\n");

    printf("> store new customer :\t\tenter 1\n");
    printf("> view a customer :\t\tenter 2\n");
    printf("> view all customers :\t\tenter 3\n");
    printf("> exit program :\t\tenter 4\n ");

    int ipt = malloc(sizeof(int));
    scanf("%d",&ipt);

    return ipt;
}

int main(){
    int dec = give_options();

    printf("decision is: %d", dec);

    getchar();
}

Ive started to code in C recently in Ubuntu
im trying to return the value a local variable of one function and have it passed to another
function. I have read that since local variables are assigned to stack the value will no longer
exist after function returns, and that I have to allocate memory in heap using malloc.
when I compile I get this warning:
initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast
[-Wint-conversion] int ipt = malloc(sizeof(int));

when I adjust this to int ipt = (int)malloc(sizeof(int)); -I get:
warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
int ipt = (int)malloc(sizeof(int));

What is the correct thing to do here?
I'm also having trouble with scanf since I switched to coding in Ubuntu.
I tried a different way, trying to use pointers:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int* give_options();

int* give_options(){

    printf("===== MENU 1 =====\n");

    printf("> store new customer :\t\tenter 1\n");
    printf("> view a customer :\t\tenter 2\n");
    printf("> view all customers :\t\tenter 3\n");
    printf("> exit program :\t\tenter 4\n ");

    int* ipt;
    ipt = malloc(sizeof(int));
    scanf("d",&ipt);

    return ipt;
}

int main(){
    int* dec = give_options();

    printf("decision is: %d", dec);

    getchar();
}

compiling this gives me following errors:
warning: format '%d' expects argument of type 'int *', but argument 2 has type 'int **' [-Wformat=]
  scanf("%d",&ipt);

warning: format '%d' expects argument of type 'int', but argument 2 has type 'int *' [-Wformat=]
  printf("decision is: %d", dec);

which approach is right and which one works?

A: You can return the value directly (without using pointers)
change
int* give_options();

to
int give_options(){

and
int* ipt;
ipt = malloc(sizeof(int));
scanf("d",&ipt);

to
int ipt;
scanf("%d", &ipt);

also you can leave
int* dec = give_options();

as
int dec = give_options();

The functions return value is left in r0 when the function returns.
I just noticed that your first example already does this.  Are you just trying to learn pointers?

Poor nutrition in the period from conception to 24 months after birth contributes to 35% of deaths of children < 5 years of age, mainly due to increased mortality from infectious disease (The Lancet's Maternal and Child Undernutrition Series, 2008). For children who survive, the effects of early undernutrition are long-lasting and largely irreversible and include a substantially higher risk of cognitive impairment and adult-onset chronic disease.
A key marker of poor nutrition is unhealthy growth, characteristics of which include intrauterine growth restriction (low birth weight for babies not born prematurely), and wasting (low weight for height) and stunting (low height for age) after birth. Underweight children can be wasted, stunted, or both. Better health outcomes are associated with nutritional strategies that distinguish between these cases, and rather than broadly increasing food energy intake, take a more precise approach, focusing on diet quality and targeting improvements in lean body mass and linear growth.
While it is imperative to develop new ways to promote healthy fetal and postnatal growth, there are unanswered scientific questions which hamper progress. For instance, the causes of stunting and intrauterine growth restriction and their links with other health outcomes are not fully understood. Furthermore, the molecular basis for nutritional deficiencies and their functional effects on tissues and organs remain unclear. Also unclear are the details of the critical role played by the human gut and its associated microbiota in both nutrition and immunity in infants and children.
The goal of this topic is to solicit new scientific understanding and new science-based preventative and therapeutic approaches to improve nutrition and promote the healthy growth and development of infants and young children. We strongly encourage investigating the mechanisms of action of nutritional deficiencies and interventions, since this will provide the basis for new strategies to promote healthy growth and will facilitate developing tests to measure nutritional status and to measure treatment outcomes, including discriminating responders from non-responders in population studies.
When practiced optimally, breastfeeding is one of the most effective available methods to promote child health and survival. Thus, while we include nutritional supplements and complementary foods among the potential interventions, proposed approaches should not interfere with or detract from immediate breastfeeding after birth and exclusive breastfeeding for six months thereafter when the infant only receives breast milk without any additional food or drink, not even water.
Have a testable hypothesis, include an associated plan for how the idea would be tested or validated, and yield interpretable and unambiguous data in Phase I so as to increase the chance of consideration for Phase II funding.

ASUS X509FA Laptop Review (X509FA-DB51)
October 29, 2019 October 24, 2019 by Emil Stefansson
The all-new ASUS Laptop X509FA is an everyday laptop which doesn't stand out that much: as far as looks are concerned, it isn't particularly exciting. Everything about it seems dull, from features to performance, or display quality even. However, this overall grayness does not automatically mean it's a dud.
There are three current models on sale. In my opinion, the ASUS X509FA-DB51 is the best one, with its Intel Core i5 processor. Sure, there's an i7 option, as well, but I don't think the price difference is justified. The only difference between these two models is the CPU. And as far as I'm concerned, there's no need for extra processing power, when all other components stay the same.
Its design is uninspiring to say the least. However, it does feature some redeeming qualities. The all-plastic body is reinforced with these metal support braces. They've added a big one just under the keyboard in order to reduce flexing and two more on the sides of the screen. Presumably to increase the rigidity of the lid and keep it from bending.
So, despite its reinforced chassis, the ASUS X509 still looks and feels like an entry level or low to mid range level laptop, which it actually is. We must also take into account how affordable the ASUS is compared to models with similar specs.
ASUS X509FA review: a people pleaser
Performance-wise, the ASUS X509 is pretty balanced. The X509FA-DB51 model this review is based on features an 8th generation Intel Core i5-8265U processor. This is a Whiskey Lake generation CPU launched in late 2018. It has 4 cores, 6 megabytes of cache and a clock speed of 1.6 GHz to 3.9 GHz.
Compared to the more expensive model, the ASUS X509FA-DB71, which is fitted with the Intel Core i7-8565U processor, the i5 version is about 10% slower. That difference is barely noticeable by most users, even advanced ones. It is my opinion that ASUS should have thrown another upgrade in there to make the switch to this much more expensive model worthwhile.
System memory is rated at 8 gigabytes of DDR4 SDRAM. Considering how the mid range processor will handle everyday tasks, system memory is adequate. You'll be able to multitask, edit photos with ease and use a host of modern software without glitches with this configuration.
It's worth noting that out of all available system memory, you can only upgrade part of it. That is because 4 gigabytes are soldered to the main board. Therefore, if you want to extend memory size, you can replace the second memory module with an 8 gigabyte stick to reach a maximum of 12 gigabytes of RAM.
The ASUS X509FA comes equipped with a speedy 256-gigabyte PCIe Gen3 solid state drive. Regardless of model, that all you'll get. For most users who need an everyday all-rounder, 256 gigabytes are more than enough. However, it would have been nice of ASUS to include a 512 GB SSD on the Core i7 mode.
Still, they've included the option to further extend storage capacity by adding another HDD or SSD, as there's a free available slot.
Graphics and Display
Don't expect much from the X509FA in terms of gaming. Its integrated graphics card, the Intel HD Graphics 620 won't take you too far. That being said, less demanding games like Minecraft, CS:GO, popular MMOGs and such will be playable.
The X509FA features a 15.6-inch screen with Full HD display capable of wide viewing angles. It's nothing spectacular, as colors look more washed out when compared to more expensive laptops. However, considering price, this display isn't that bad. For around $600 you get a FHD IPS-like display.
While it's true that this ASUS features narrower bezels, they're not as thin all across. Therefore, I've noticed its profile is still bulkier than similar modern laptops.
Interface and networking options
I/O options are plentiful. This is an area where ASUS usually shines. The laptop features different connection types. Both modern and legacy USB port are present. Here's the list of all available interface options:
USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C
USB 3.0 Type-A
2 x USB 2.0 Type-A
HDMI-out
Combo audio jack
Fingerprint reader (optional)
Networking options are rather standard for a mid range laptop. The X509FA features Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) wireless connectivity and Bluetooth 4.2 technology.
Portability and battery life
The ASUS X509FA (see it on Amazon.com) is on the heavier side of things, as far as 15-inch laptops go. Also, it's one of the thickest I've seen this year, measuring just south of an inch, while many models boast 0.7 inches already. This 4.2 pound laptop clearly hasn't been designed to be a trusty travel companion.
I wouldn't commute with it, that's for sure. However, this notebook will feel at home on a desk or around the house or even at your office. It's not an ultrabook, but a convenient desktop replacement for everyday tasks.
ASUS haven't published battery life estimates yet. They do say that the X509FA has a 2-cell, 32 Whr battery pack. Which, to be honest, doesn't sound that good. You should probably expect a maximum of 6 to 8 hours out of one charge, but we'll have to wait for real-world scenario testing to emerge, just to be sure.
There is one laptop model that can really compete with this ASUS. The Acer Aspire 5 A515-54-51DJ (full review here) is an extremely popular notebook which features the exact same hardware components (Intel Core i5-8265U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD), but costs significantly less. Also, it has a slimmer profile and weighs less, making it more portable than the X509.
All in all, the ASUS X509FA-DB51 is an acceptable mid range all-rounder. While it does suffer from a couple of drawbacks, its strength lies in what's under the hood. At the end of day, this is a workhorse that won't let you down as long as you'll use it as intended. It will handle all your daily computing needs, and then some.

Logano looks to rebound from slow start at MIS
Last year's runner up for Chase for the Cup has just one win this season, and it's marred with controversy
Logano looks to rebound from slow start at MIS Last year's runner up for Chase for the Cup has just one win this season, and it's marred with controversy Check out this story on Freep.com: http://on.freep.com/2tbkZDN

BROOKLYN, Mich. – With an encumbered win, Joey Logano is in jeopardy of missing out on the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs at the end of the season.
Logano has eight top-10 finishes this season, including the encumbered win at the Toyota Owners 400 on April 30 at Richmond International Speedway. Logano went from worst to first in that race, but NASCAR found an issue with the rear suspension after a teardown at the R&D Center in Concord, N.C.
"It is on my mind," Logano said Friday at Michigan International Speedway. "I would be lying if I said it wasn't, but it isn't something I am very concerned about. I feel like this team is strong enough to get through it. We just need to get through it, build momentum. The way these stages are, you can gain points pretty quick. We have proven we can lose them pretty quick. A couple good races of scoring stage points and a great finish will put you right back to close to where we were."
Logano acknowledged it hasn't been a fun season, but he also tries to keep perspective on the tough times.
"Someone said, 'We aren't curing cancer out there, we are just trying to make circles really fast.'" Logano said. "It is something we can fix. This team is strong. We have been through this stuff before."

Logano, a two-time winner in the Cup Series at MIS, including last June, enters the FireKeepers Casino 400 on Sunday 11th in the series standings with 362 points. Logano, who drives the No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford for Team Penske, got a boost of confidence by running third fastest in practice on Friday (200.479 m.p.h.) behind Kyle Larson (200.798) and Kyle Busch (200.619).
"Any time you come to one of your best race tracks like here at Michigan, especially the way our last month-and-a-half has gone. it is a confidence builder for sure," Logano said.
"To be able to unload today with decent speed, then switch to qualifying trim and find more, that last run is definitely a nice turnaround for us. We have been lacking a little speed but this seems like the best race track for us to turn this around."

Todd Gordon, Logano's crew chief, was fined $50,000 and suspended for two races after the April 30 result. Logano was docked 25 driver points, the team was penalized 25 owner points, and although the win wasn't taken away, he was denied an automatic playoff berth for the violation.
"We have to be able to string three or four solid races together like we know how to," Logano said. "We have strung 15-20 great races together before. It is nothing this team hasn't done before. We are very strong. No one is pointing fingers. There is none of that going on. We just have to get through it as a team together."
Asked what has been off in the last month, Logano said: "We have about 15 areas we think. A lot of it is process of elimination. I think there is a certain area we think we can get better but it takes a lot of time to fix that. It is not just a spring or wedge. Believe me, we have changed every spring we can change in these things.
"Over time, we should be able to get back where we want to and already we are moving that way. We are balancing our cars better and trying to get to where we can get into the corner better. That seems to be our biggest lack right now, the entry of the corners. We are trying to fix that. It seems we've made a decent step this week. It seems like we are in a step in the right direction. We will keep working."

Logano is no stranger to Victory Lane. He's won 18 times on NASCAR's top circuit, including four times last season and twice during the Chase for the Cup playoffs. He finished second to Jimmie Johnson in last year's standings.
"It isn't just the speed. We have had other issues. We had an issue at Dover where we had a top-10 car. We aren't the winning car like we are used to being or want to be but we have made some progress on our cars to where we have gotten faster since Charlotte. We just haven't had a chance to show it because we are trying to overcome things. Our car isn't fast enough to overcome issues that happen in the race right now. If we get faster we can overcome having a flat tire last week."
One reason Logano remains confident that the team can turn things around is the success they've had in the past.
"This team has been racing for a championship the last three years and have come very close the last three years in a row," Logano said. "Nothing has changed. It is the same group, the same people and we didn't forget how to do things. We are just going through a little rough period. We had to go back and relearn some things. Some stuff that worked in the past don't work with this package. We have had to find something new to make us successful and we all understand that. We understand if we work together we will get through it. With that in mind, this whole team sticks together and keeps fighting to persevere."

Another year, another successful Friendsgiving in the books! On Saturday we hosted our 2nd Annual Friendsgiving, and it went off without a hitch! I'm going to go ahead and say that Andrew and I have mastered the art of making turkey. This is by far my favorite tradition that we've started together, and I'm hoping there are many more years to come celebrating this holiday with our friends.
It works out great because Andrew and I focus on the turkey and provide a couple pies, and all our amazing friends each bring a dish to contribute. It makes it relatively stress free to host, and we eat like Kings! This year on the menu we had bacon wrapped turkey, 2 varieties of stuffing, mashed potatoes, a stout beer gravy & traditional gravy, green bean casserole, salad, brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, homemade cranberry sauce, biscuits with honey butter and dinner rolls. That doesn't even include our appetizers! For dessert, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, mini tarts, and apple pie cookies!
Andrew and I start prepping for the turkey a few days in advance. If I've learned one thing, it's that brining the turkey is key! It makes for the most juicy and flavorful bird, I promise it's worth the extra effort. This year, we were feeding a crowd, so we needed an extra large turkey, luckily we found the only 25 pounder Safeway had in stock. We followed the Pioneer Woman's recipe for the brine again this year and let our bird soak for a solid 24 hours, flipping once halfway through. You'll need one of these nifty brining bags too.
After the brine, we followed Alton Brown's steps for cooking the turkey. We rinsed the turkey thoroughly to remove the excess salt from the brine, then massaged the skin with butter and stuffed the cavity with roughly chopped apples, carrots, garlic, celery, onion, thyme, rosemary and sage (don't stuff it too full or it will affect cooking times). With about an hour left before the turkey is finished cooking, it's time to add the bacon weave! On a piece of wax paper create the bacon weave and set aside. Take the bird out of the oven and place the weave over the top, secure with tooth picks if necessary. Then sprinkle brown sugar and cracked pepper on top, and return to the oven for about an hour. Keep a close eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn. When the turkey was finished, we had about 25 people trying to squeeze into our kitchen to take a look at our Andrew's masterpiece!
Dinner was a huge success! Everyone loved the turkey and all the side dishes were amazing, too. Before people started leaving, we even managed to get a group shot, (one serious and one goofy, of course). As the evening went on, we ended up down in the garage to play a few rounds of beer pong/flip cup/etc. It was quite the party and so much fun spending the day with our closest friends!
I wish I had taken more photos, I always get so preoccupied talking to people and playing hostess. Oh well, at least we have the group shot and some after party pictures! I am so thankful for all of our friends and that we have this group get together every year for a fun event. Andrew and I love hosting and are already planning our next dinner party!
If only I knew what they were looking at!
This year I've seen more and more people celebrating Friendsgiving on social media. Did/do you have one with your friends this year? I think it's such a fun tradition!
This looks so fun! I would love to host a Friendsgiving but we don't have seating for all of them in our tiny condo. haha.
Aw, I would love to start a tradition like this and have thought about it many times. Love the pictures and everything looks so festive. You can't go wrong with a Pioneer Woman recipe ever and your turkey looked amazing!
Oh. my. god. That turkey is a work of art!
Our 3rd Annual Friendsgiving is next Wednesday! You did such a great job decorating and the turkey looks amazing!
Our 2nd Friendsgiving is this coming Saturday! I'm so nervous because our guest list has tripled! Much more pressure on us now to cook a great turkey haha. Yours look awesome!
How fun!! I love this tradition. Andrew's turkey looks amazing!
How fun! It looks like you guys had such a fun time! Sam and I actually held our 1st Friendsgiving at our house, but I was lame and didn't take any photos. But that bacon wrapped turkey though?? STOP IT.

Russian director pulls film from festival over Navalny nomination
Wednesday, 07 Apr 2021 07:09 AM MYT
Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky has pulled his latest film from the country's prestigious White Elephants Awards. — AFP pic
MOSCOW, April 7 — Acclaimed Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky has pulled his latest film from the country's prestigious White Elephants Awards in protest at plans to honour opposition leader Alexei Navalny at the event.
In a message on Facebook, the 83-year-old said he had asked that Dear Comrades! — nominated for best film and also shortlisted for the 93rd Academy Awards — be withdrawn from consideration at the festival, as he did not want it to be judged alongside political work by the jailed Kremlin critic.
He was referring to a decision to hand Navalny and his team an award in the Event of the Year category for their video documentaries on state corruption which have been viewed by millions on YouTube.
"This award is one of the most important in Russian cinema for me, as it means recognition of the film's art value from the professional community," Konchalovsky wrote.
He denounced the award given to Navalny's "journalistic project that one can consider a political act but can in no way be judged through the lens" of filmmaking.
Navalny, 44, went on hunger strike last week to demand adequate medical treatment at the prison where he is being held.
He was arrested on his return to Russia in January, after spending months in Germany recovering from a poisoning last summer that he blames on the Kremlin.
Unlike his younger brother, the Oscar-winning director of Burnt by the Sun, Nikita Mikhalkov, who has always been close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Konchalovsky has maintained a diplomatic distance from the Kremlin.
Earlier this year, however, he came out in support of a constitutional referendum that could allow Putin to stay in power to 2036.
Konchalovsky, who lived in the United States for many years and whose Hollywood movies include Tango and Cash and Runaway Train, settled again Russia in the 1990s and has often been critical of western culture. — AFP

Q: Supplying power to ESP32 from a DC adapter instead of the USB port...is it a bad idea? I'm designing this board based on ESP32 which suppose to handle two motor drivers (DRV8874, DRV8840) and a few other modules; a 12V@3A DC adapter seems to suffice powering-up the board according to my calculations. The idea here was to have only one power source to the whole board, even the CP2102A USB_to_UART and ESP32 could both be only powered up via the DC adapter instead of USB port (which a common design in dev-boards is that the 5V on VBUS gate of the MicroUSB goes through a 3.3V voltage-regulator and forms the 3.3V net to eventually supply the VDD on both CP2102A and ESP32 module).
Have I missed anything here? any possible safety issues with the current design? was cutting the power from the MicroUSB's VBUS to the USB_to_UART's VDD and supplying from an external DC source a bad idea?
Thanks.

A: The ams1117 is a linear regulator. At 12V in and 5V out you are dropping 12 - 5 = 7V at whatever current you are pulling. So at 1 amp you are wasting 7 Watts of power. And without a heatsink you are going to have a bad time.

SadBaby is Opening New Doorways for Providing Financial Aid to SMA Patients
July 29, 2021, 9:36 AM ·3 min read
ANTALYA, Turkey, July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The SadBaby project was recently launched to help SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) patients overcome financial constraints in getting proper medical treatment. The SadBaby Team aims to improve every patient's quality of life and gather sufficient funds to support the affected children and their families. As they say, 'No baby should be sad and left uncured', the team behind this initiative is working day and night to popularize the cryptocurrency project through Internet-led advertising campaigns. Needless to say, the project has been grabbing remarkable attention and attracting investors from all over the globe.
Being a unique and thoughtful undertaking, the initiative was followed closely by many companies since the first day of its launch announcement. SadBaby project was anticipated to become a huge success with its public-spirit approach and the good news is, it has lived up to all the expectations. The project is positively moving forward to reach its primary objective of aiding SMA.
Being an almost two-months old endeavour, the SadBaby project has moved at a notably high speed. It has already uploaded its BSC Scan and trust wallet logo. The platform is listed on INDEX AZBIT LAToken exchanges and is working hard to get enlisted on the CMC market. Working together with SMA Association in Antalya, SadBaby has already raised significant donations for babies affected with SMA and is soon organising a concert to further their funding strategy.
SadBaby was approached by the network of a big technology company that is involved in many projects making a big impact around the world. The company has started a detailed study and is looking to invest in the SadBaby project. These investments are likely to push the project development even further.
The SadBaby team believes in transparency and uploads all its official donation information on telegram channels. It not only aims to gather great donations for SMA kids but also serves as a profitable investment means for its community members. Holders of SadBaby tokens can accrue considerable income by staking them instantly in their wallets without locking them anywhere else. The team also takes up coin burning at certain intervals, removing them completely from the supply chain to boost the value of SadBaby token. All the information regarding burning is uploaded on telegram for the angel investors and community members to stay updated.
SMA is a leading cause of death in babies and if not focussed upon at early age, can become extremely severe with passing time. What's unfortunate is that SMA doesn't have a definite treatment and the available medical procedures only relieve and manage the symptoms in patients and are extremely costly. Spinraza, a protein booster drug licensed by Biogen Inc., has to be applied regularly throughout the patient's life. The approximate cost of the drug is between $625,000 to $750,000 initially and later $375,000 each year.
SadBaby wants to make the experience a little less stressful for the SMA kids' families. It encourages the angel investors to contribute at any level to make this world a better place for SMA affected children. SadBaby is also planning to create an NFT marketplace where families would be able to sell NFT products and obtain financial help by this year's end. With the recent news of investment surge and future partnering with big investment companies, SadBaby is definitely going to become a source of light for thousands of SMA babies and contribute efficiently to their well-being in the coming years.

Norwich's Stanton Elementary School, which opens its doors to students and staff this morning for the start of the 2012-13 school year, is one of four schools in the state that is part of Department of Education Commissioner Stephen Pryor's newly initiated Commissioner's Network.
That's not an honor or a distinction to be proud of. The Commissioner's Network, which will grow to 25 schools over three years, comprises schools designated as among the poorest-performing schools in the state.
But neither should a school's inclusion in the network be a reason for despair. On the contrary, inclusion is a reason for hope and optimism where, hopefully, not only will the targeted attention produce improved academic performance, but the lessons learned in turning a failing school around will provide a model that can be used effectively in addressing problems at other struggling schools in the Norwich School District and beyond.
The initiative is part of Pryor's overall plan to thoroughly reform Connecticut's educational system. And in demonstrating his commitment to that, the commissioner attended Norwich Public Schools' annual convocation earlier this week, applauding teachers and administrators for their efforts thus far in developing a plan to elevate Stanton's academic performance.
The goal now is to succeed in implementing the plan and achieve the goals and objectives set out in it. That, however, requires the combined effort of everyone — teachers, administrators, parents and students.
In speaking with the commissioner after the convocation, what we found most encouraging was his desire to provide local school staff with all the necessary tools needed so that their success is within their grasp.
Additional funding and expanded programming is in place. The Norwich Public School District now has the resources its needs to be successful — and we are hopeful that its success will surpass all expectations.
Our young people, here in Norwich and throughout the state, deserve the opportunity to learn and be successful in life.


The battle for truth against error rages throughout the world today, and recent events during the past month are especially instructive. We might begin with a look at the repressive government in China, and then see that our own freedoms in America are under a similar assault. The Wall Street Journal reported (1-20-12, A7) regarding Chinese author Yu Jie, "a threat …leveled at him–that the government could round up all significant dissidents and 'bury them alive'–quickly became a catchphrase on the Chinese internet." How would he be buried alive? Although this Chinese author no longer lives in mainland China, "Mr. Yu's name remains blocked in searches on Sina Weibo, which blocks searches for sensitive terms in anticipation of the government's wishes." (ibid.) Thus in China the term, "buried alive," refers to government actions to prevent free expression. We would not have to fear such things from our own government in the U.S., would we?
Actually, yes! Similar efforts have been made by the U.S. government to gain control over the internet, and literally bury or send to oblivion those that it deems a threat to its agenda, ideas or power. Two years ago, a conservative U.S. Supreme Court majority in the "Citizen's United" ruling overturned a government law banning corporate involvement in politics. This issue has been a cloudy one for many people, but in fact, "The U.S. Government argued in Citizens United that it had the right to ban the publication of books, pamphlets and movies…" (WSJ 1-23-12, A19). We should be aware that even innocent or morally-sounding new laws can often hide a hidden agenda and go far beyond their stated intent. By the way, should not church corporations have similar rights as secular corporations to advocate for morality in government and politics? Incorporated churches in the U.S. are still banned from any such involvement in politics, although the law is typically only exercised against conservative Bible-believing churches in order to attempt to reduce their influence in society.
The frontal assault upon our right of free expression takes on many forms. During this past month, our Canadian British-Israel website www.israelite.ca was brought down due to hacking by unknown parties and remained off the internet for three days while we discussed with the hosting company what had happened and how to proceed to restore our files. Fortunately, we not only back up our files to an external hard disk, but back them up to the "cloud" as well, in case of a physical break-in of our offices. Yet such a hacking incident is disruptive, and our website listing had temporarily dropped several pages in Google until sometime after we restored the site.
This was not an isolated incident. Only a week after this intrusion, our book site at www.migrations.info was also the subject of an unsuccessful attack which was intercepted by our hosting company. Our book site was down for only about thirty minutes on this occasion. We had thought we were safe using a random eight-digit password, which the hosting provider had considered "very strong." We learned, however, that there are a number of computer programs which allow hackers to run through thousands of password combinations in order to gain entry to a website.
In addition to that, a feature article in the Wall Street Journal (1-23-12, A14) was entitled, "Hackers-for-hire Are Easy To Find." It discussed not only readily available "off-the-shelf hacking help" but listed services originating in China that offer to hack into websites for as little as US$400. Some of the websites hacked recently include the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the large French energy company Electricite de France. Our friends in Great Britain are well aware of the hacking allegations that caused the closure of the large tabloid, News of the World, last year. Although the Journal article stated that China is a major source of web attacks, news organizations have reported that the Israeli government was purportedly behind the "stuxnet" virus that disrupted Iran's nuclear program. Viruses can be devastating and we are very cautious about opening any email attachments received from unknown sources.
Many large U.S. corporations now use a sixteen-digit password composed of a random set of numbers, letters, and symbols. This allows millions of possible combinations and makes it much harder for hackers to break in. We have now done this to further secure our websites and email from future attacks, and are thankful to report that there have been no further breaches into our accounts since we have put this new heightened security into place.
We have not heard of any similar attacks upon other B.I. organization websites as yet. Why were we singled out? As someone here told me, "we must be doing something right!" Our websites have been ranking very well and thus achieving a high visibility. Yet this should be a wakeup call to other B.I. groups who should take steps now to secure their sites from such attacks in the future.

No IDyet on rollover victim
Local | October 3, 2004
PETER THOMPSON
A blue 1994 Chevrolet pickup driven by a Coleville, Calif., man rolled over on Highway 395 in Douglas County, ejecting the driver and killing him instantly, according to Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper, Michael Teeuwen,
The crash happened shortly after midnight Saturday about seven miles south of Gardnerville at mile marker 11.
The driver was northbound on Highway 395 when the truck began to drift to the right, according to preliminary investigations. The driver overcorrected to the left, causing the pickup to spin counterclockwise and strike a metal highway marker. The driver then overcorrected to the right as he veered across the yellow lines in the center lane and spun the pickup clockwise.
The truck re-entered the southbound lane in a broadside skid, where the left side tires ripped off the rims and dug into the asphalt, causing the truck to overturn and ejecting the driver, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Highway Patrol has identified the driver, but his name was not immediately released pending family notification.
Alcohol may have been a contributing factor to the crash.
An official investigation is under way.

Will I Have to Give Up My Property?
Although Chapter 7 is a "liquidation proceeding," you will be allowed to keep certain property, as long as the fair market value of each item does not exceed certain amounts. (Fair market value is not your original purchase price. It is sometimes described as "garage sale value," or how much actual cash you would receive by selling the item to an unrelated party.) Certain property such as your working tools, insurance, household furnishings, radio, television, musical instruments, some savings and checking accounts, your car and your home may be entirely protected, or "exempt," through bankruptcy. For more information on exempt property, contact the Bankruptcy Court or see the Resources panel of this pamphlet for other sources of information. Unlike a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a Chapter 13 case usually allows you to retain all of your "non-exempt" assets, and over a three- to five-year period of time you pay to the court the value of those non-exempt assets for distribution to your creditors.


What Day Of The Week Was August 5, 1977?
August 5, 1977 was the 217th day of the year 1977 in the Gregorian calendar. There were 148 days remaining until the end of the year. The day of the week was Friday.
A person born on this day will be 41 years old today. If that same person saved a Nickel every day starting at age 7, then by now that person has accumulated $634.00 today.
Who were born on August 5, 1977?


If you do not want to sell it but only trade it: I`d be willing to trade any of my 14 Ibanez guitars and maybe add cash on top if necessary. If you are interested in a trade, let me know and I can tell you what I got.
i have one. have you got yours yet?
Wow, I can`t believe the bad luck I got.
I just ordered one yesterday.... How much would have been your price?
That would have been a decent price!
I paid a little bit less actually for a new one but it had a huge discount on it (I was just lucky). I figured most people who sell their RG2011 ask for way more given it`s super rare.


Underground water line is quintessential to your everyday living. Through these pipe lines the water for your daily use reaches you. So obviously, for all the activities like bathing, cooking, washing and even drinking – the functioning of these pipes are very necessary. Thus, a problematic water service line can be an unfortunate and often expensive surprise for any home owner or commercial building residents. To solve the issue, contact a reputed water service specialist or a plumber in your locality.
- One of the main problems that underground water lines face is the much dreaded leak. To spot if your pipe has a leak somewhere, see if the areas under which the pipe runs seems to be damp and muddy of late continuously, without any rain or external watering.
- Lesser flow of water when you open faucets at home is a definite sign of something being wrong. Either the line has cracked somewhere between the main line and your house, or there is too much deposits along the inner lining of the pipes to let the water gush in full form.
- If you hear a hissing noise in the pipe near where it is branching off from other lines and entering your house premise, it could be a leaky pipe, or worse, broken. The hissing noise indicates it has found a gap to escape from the pipe.
If you still have a copper one, you need to replace it with something more resilient like PVC by a professional. And while that will cost you, it is better for the long run.


He who believes in Allah and the Hereafter, if he witnesses any matter he should talk in good terms about it or keep quiet. Act kindly towards woman, for woman is created from a rib, and the most crooked part of the rib is its top. If you attempt to straighten it, you will break it, and if you leave it, its crookedness will remain there. So act kindly towards women.

The 552 carat yellow diamond beats a previous record held by a diamond from the same mine
Dominion Diamond Mines ULC ("Dominion"), a world leading producer of responsibly mined diamonds, announces the recovery of the largest known gem quality diamond ever found in North America. The 552 carat yellow Canadamark™ diamond was unearthed in October at the Diavik Diamond Mine ("Diavik"), approximately 135 miles south of the Arctic Circle in Canada's Northwest Territories. The find far surpasses the previous record held by the Diavik Foxfire at 187.7 carats, which was also recovered at the same mine in 2015. Dominion owns 40% of Diavik.
"This incredible discovery showcases what is truly spectacular about Canadamark diamonds," states Kyle Washington, Chairman of Dominion Diamond Mines. "The color and texture of the diamond are a unique example of the journey that natural diamonds take from their formation until we unearth them. Our Diavik Mine has produced some of the most beautiful diamonds in the world, and this one certainly tops the list."
The astonishing gemstone was uncovered while passing through the initial screening process at Diavik's recovery plant. Abrasion markings on the stone's surface attest to the difficult journey it underwent during recovery, and the fact that it remains intact is remarkable. Measuring 33.74mm x 54.56mm and weighing exactly 552.74 carats, a diamond of this size is completely unexpected for this part of the world and marks a true milestone for diamond mining in North America and Canadamark diamonds overall.
Its color, texture and structure are also unique from a geological perspective and may be studied further. The diamond will not be sold in its rough form. Due to the significance of the discovery, Dominion will select a partner in the coming weeks who will cut and polish the stone. The size and highly technical nature of this stone means that only a handful of master cutters in the world are qualified to polish it, ensuring that the stone's beauty, color and brilliance are maximized. Dominion expects to achieve a significant main stone once the diamond is polished, that will be Canadamark certified. As the diamond is still undergoing evaluation, it is too early to determine the ultimate value of the diamond. However, when polished, the Diavik Foxfire yielded a 37.87 brilliant-cut pear shape and a 36.80 brilliant-cut pear shape that were both recently auctioned as part of Christies Magnificent Jewels and were purchased for $1.3 million.

COAM HUB
COAM
We can lift the world
Prestigious installations worldwide using the technology C.O.A.M.
We adopted the slogan "We can lift the world" not by chance.
The history of COAM tells us that our company, in many years of activity, has been able to meet the most demanding challenges, providing the components for lifts and goods lifts not only able to lift important or unusual loads, but also specifically designed for installations with the most varied needs, ranging from design needs to technological innovation, from durability needs to great resistance during use, in the most different contexts.
We are proud that in many plants in which our components are integrated, even after more than 30 years of continuous use, sometimes in extreme conditions, they are still fully functional.
An example among all is the 3 train elevators installed at the central station in Milan.
This means that COAM, with its components and technical design department, is present in the systems installed in the most prestigious and demanding locations in the world among which we recall: the entrance pyramid at the Louvre in Paris, the elevator at "The British Museum World Conservation and Exhibitions Center" the "Museum of Islamic art in Doha", the masts of the flags of "Valletta City Gate" designed by Renzo Piano, the "The point" in Paddington in the city of London, the installation at the "Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology" and the one at the "Europäisches Hansemuseum" in Lubeck and many others, where COAM has been able to take up the challenge to respond to the needs demanded by these important installations in terms of architecture, scope, reliability and technological innovation.
