Who the U.S. considers resident aliens, and nonresident aliens.
The requirements for nonresident aliens to trade in the U.S Options Market.
General broker's requirements for opening a brokerage account of a non-resident alien.
We consider the Unites States a land of opportunities. Few countries in the world can boast of an ecosystem which allows entrepreneurs and businesses to flourish the way U.S. does. And wherever there is business, there will always be finance. Whether it is technology, media, construction or oil and gas.
Most of the biggest companies in the world are domiciled in the U.S. To put things into perspective, the market cap of Apple is over $900 billion. It is greater than the value of all the stocks listed in the Mexican stock market combined and nearly half of the French stock market.
For an options trader, the most important factors to consider before venturing into a new market are breadth, liquidity and volatility of the given market. Needless to say, due to its sheer size, the U.S. financial markets fulfill all the above criteria like no other country's financial markets.
For a U.S.-based trader, the requirements for trading in U.S. option market are as simple as filling few forms on the web. However, the requirements are much more stringent for someone who is not a U.S. citizen.
However, before we proceed to the requirements, one needs to first identify whether he or she is a 'resident alien' or a 'nonresident alien'.
The Internal Revenue Services defines an 'alien' as someone who is not a U.S. citizen. They are broadly classified into two categories - resident alien and nonresident alien. An individual who doesn't have a green card (is not an immigrant), hasn't stayed in the U.S. for more than 183 days in the past 3 years or more than 31 days in the current year (substantial presence test) and who doesn't have any other business or trade interest in the U.S. (other than trading in U.S. securities like options) is considered a non-resident alien.
Conversely, someone who holds a green card, fails the criteria of the substantial presence test or has business or trade interest in the U.S. other than trading U.S. securities is regarded as a resident alien.
The requirements for trading U.S. options and the tax implications vary according to whether a person is a resident or non-resident alien.
For a resident alien the requirements for trading U.S. options are very similar to that of a U.S. citizen. One needs to select a broker of one's choice and provide the details the broker requires. This generally includes the Social Security Number or a Taxpayer Identification Number (issued by IRS) , driver license number, statement information of assets or cash one wants to transfer to the brokerage account and employer's name and address (applicable only in certain cases). The tax implication for money that a resident alien earns through trading in U.S. securities is exactly the same as it is for a U.S. citizen.
A non-resident alien doesn't need to pay any capital gain tax for income that he/she earns through trading U.S. securities. However, a non-resident alien does have to pay a 30% tax on income through dividends of U.S. companies if the investment is long-term.
Since an option trader isn't 'investing for long-term', a nonresident alien option trader doesn't need to pay any tax in the U.S. for income that is earned through trading options.
The most crucial factor for a broker to open an account for a nonresident alien is his or her nationality. One will need to check with broking firms to ensure if they allow the citizens of their country to open an account. Another important point to note is that even if a broker allows one to open an account, most brokers require the application and necessary documents to be submitted through mail (or fax), in physical form, rather than electronic submission.
Moreover, there can be other compliances and regulations to be followed that may differ from broker to broker. For example, all the transactions could only be done through wire transfers or all the important notifications related to the account will only be sent electronically.
Application form – Details such as name of the applicant, date of birth, nationality, address, profession etc. needs to be filled.
Copy of applicant's passport for identification purposes.
Traders who wish to trade in options might also need to fill a separate form stating the same.
All nonresident aliens are subject to 30% flat tax (or lower if their country has a treaty with the U.S.) for certain income (including trading income). It is mandatory for the payor to withhold this 30% tax and pay it over to the IRS or else the payor will be held liable for it. Form W-8BEN, also known as 'certificate of foreign status of beneficial owner for United States Tax withholding and reporting', allows non-resident aliens to certify their non-U.S. citizen status and avoid the 30% tax withholding.
The W-8BEN is a simple one page form that one can fill without any guidance and its only purpose is to identify the applicant as a non-U.S. citizen. One can take a look and also download the form directly from the IRS website.
Although there are other unconventional methods through which traders can get exposed to U.S. option markets like CFDs and unregulated binary option brokers, none of them are as safe and secure as having a U.S. brokerage account.
Even when it comes to costs, the minimum account opening requirement may work as barrier. However, the commissions charged by registered U.S. brokers, especially online discount brokers is much lower than those charged by CFD firms and binary brokers directly and indirectly (through large spreads etc.).
Moreover, U.S.-based broking firms are regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), so the risk of them going bankrupt or running away with a clients' money is nearly non-existent when compared to other unregulated players.
The U.S. financial markets provide better breadth, liquidity and volatility, crucial factors for option traders to trade in a market, than any other financial markets in the world.
Procedures and requirements for a resident alien to trade in U.S. option market are similar to that of a U.S. citizen.
A nonresident alien needs to find a U.S.-based broker that allows individuals of his/her nationality to open an account.
The procedure and requirements for opening a non-resident alien brokerage account may vary from broker to broker.
General requirements by brokers for opening brokerage account of a non-resident alien include – application form, copy of passport, copy or original of bank/financial statement, copy or original of a utility bill, Form W-8BEN, minimum deposit and a separate form if the applicants wants to trade in options and/or on margin.
Form W-8BEN certifies the nonresident status of an applicant and frees the broker from withholding 30% of the income (trading profits).
Opening an account with a U.S-based broker is the safest and most secure method to trade U.S. option market as they are regulated by the SEC unlike unconventional and unregulated mechanisms like CFDs and binary options.

Ocean X Team är en svensk grupp som letar efter förlista skeppsvrak och andra intressanta föremål som ligger på havsbottnen. Yrkesdykaren Peter Lindberg bildade gruppen Ocean X Team år 1992 tillsammans med entreprenören Dennis Åsberg.

Gruppen gjorde sitt första stora fynd 1992, när teamet hittade vraket av ett amerikanskt B-17-plan i Östersjön. Det andra stora fyndet gruppen gjorde var år 1997, då man fann Galeasen Jönköping i Ålands skärgård.

År 2011 hittade gruppen en märklig formation på bottnen av Östersjön, den så kallade Cirkeln på Östersjöns botten eller även kallat för Östersjömysteriet. År 2012 dök man återigen på platsen för fyndet; man tog bland annat prover och fotografier och gjorde noggranna sonarmätningar över fyndplatsen.

The wife and I travelled by train from Glasgow to Orkney and back to Edinburgh over 3 weeks during May this year. What a great pleasure it was. The land is beautiful. The B&B each had wonderful restaurants. We tried a different Scotch whisky each day and then brought home 6 bottles. One must experience the Highland games! The bag piping made the hair stand up on my neck. At least 60 pipers in the large glend calling all to the games. Whew!
I dont think Scotsman meant anything bad RE Germany, lived there too for 3 years due to my late Dads RAF tour, feel a close affinity with Germany actually, my sister who shared those teenage days there feels the same, great times at RAF Wildenrath and seeing the old RAF GR1 Harriers up close.
All a long time ago though, we came back to UK and as normal of time (and perhaps as requested by my Dad) we landed up more or less where the family started near Inverness at RAF Kinloss for some Nimrod time, settled in Elgin and that was back in 1975 ... I'll be 60 next summer.
Its been good, but whatever happens Brexit wise, will always be a Scotsman and no I never voted for independence against England ... am not that daft Just feel a certain proud loyalty to Scotland.
I do have fiery blood though, but try to keep it in check, heh.
TY all for putting up with me here when I've been wrong.
And for non Scots - just plug those names into youtube for hours of Tartan Twee!, the 1960's never made it this far north - Trust me on that !
Is that Pennan, Colin, from "Local Hero" fame? its as close to you as close to me I guess keep meaning to visit there and will do soon, they keep the old red telephone box there as a tribute I hear, wonderful feel good movie.
Nope that's Cove Bay , a small fishing Village south of aberdeen, Pennan is a fair way North of where I am , close to Fraserburgh, in the middle of the old Banff Stike Wing /s stomping ground.
My sister lives in Aberlour now, Flounder, its a small world for sure.
Will have to give you guys a shout next time we're up!
Hi Colin, are the fishermen at Cove still having grief with the landowner trying to stop them using the bay?
Saw a bit about it a while back but never saw if it was resolved.
Nice list of dubious Scottish culture (?). Always think of stuff like that when I'm in Edinburgh walking past all the shops full of tartan tat and nylon kilts!
I suppose as out American cousins might put it I have some skin in this particular game since my Grandfather used to run the Salmon fishing crew out of Cove in the 50's and 60's and my Father and Uncle had a small crab/Lobster fishing business with a boat there , all gone now I'm afraid..
There's book covering the local history of cove and one of the pics shown my Grandfather carrying boxes of Salmon up the road to the village , taken in 1929, so I guess my roots really do run fairly deep here !
We tried a different Scotch whiskey each day and then brought home 6 bottles.
How true Sir. Please accept my apology.
Pity that dispute's not resolved Colin. Great to hear about your deep roots there though. I travel up on the train to Aberdeen every day and often see the small boats out checking their creels. Seems like a hard way to make a living, especially now, so hats off to them.
The wife has some of the Sinclair green tartan! She had to pay $100 duty on it. Like they make it here.

David Haye makes Jeff Saunders' day
AMATEUR boxing prospect Jeff Saunders is hoping some of David Haye's magic can rub off on him after he met the world heavyweight champion in London.
The Sedgefield 18-year-old met up with the WBA champion at the Jaguar Boutique at the Berkeley Hotel after Haye was announced as an ambassador for the Jaguar Academy of Sport.
South Durham ABC's Saunders, whose older brother Bradley won 2007 World Championship bronze and is a member of GB Boxing's Podium squad, receives a bursary from the Jaguar Academy of Sport.
The Jaguar Academy of Sport was launched in March 2010, and aims to recognise, celebrate and inspire the best of British sporting talent and success.
Haye is one of numerous top athletes who have signed up to get involved as ambassadors, including world heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis, Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard and track cycling legend Chris Hoy.
Among its patrons are David Beckham and Ian Botham.
Saunders has won three age group British titles and a host of international medals.
He said: "When Jaguar Academy of Sport rang and asked if I would like to come down and meet David Haye I jumped at the chance.
"I had an amazing day and I can't believe I have met one of my sporting idols.
"He has been an inspiration to me and I will take all of his advice on board."
Haye said he was equally pleased to pass on some words of encouragement to Saunders as part of his ambassadorial role.
"It is a great initiative and one that could have a really positive effect on young athletes at the beginning of their careers," he added.
"I feel passionately about putting something back into British sport and I look forward to supporting the next generation."
The Jaguar Academy of Sport supports up and coming athletes through a bursary fund and will host a prestigious annual awards ceremony.

Q: STM32F767ZI nucleo board not connecting with USB I am new to using the STM32 nucleo board. I have bought an STM32F767ZI nucleo board. I installed the STM-link utility V4.6 version and stm-link009 drivers. When I connect the micro-USB port of nucleo to my computer, its not getting detected. The COM LED LD4 is blinking. From the manual, I saw that its trying to connect if the LD4 RED led is blinking.
I have tried different computer and different USB cables.

A: The problem was with the micro-USB cable. I had tried different USB cables which I thought was good and worked with my phone to transfer data. But didn't work with STM32F767ZI. I bought a new one and it worked well.

"Giraffe Woman" Spent Five Years Stretching Her Neck With Rings.
Everyone has their own quirks and obsessions. Some of us like video games. Others are obsessed with sports. Maybe shopping is your thing and you can't stop spending until you max out your credit cards. Thankfully, most of us can keep our little obsessions in check. But the same can't be said for everyone on the planet. Case in point, there's a woman from Los Angeles, California, named Sydney Smith. She's known as the Giraffe Woman because she wants a long neck like they have. But while we would never tell anyone not to be who they want to be, people tend to go a bit overboard. But did she?
Sydney Smith carries a giraffe shaped purse around, but that's not why they call her Giraffe Woman.
Smith was taught to be pretty much anyone she wanted to be. But they had no idea that she wanted to become a giraffe. And yet, that's exactly what she set out to become. But it wasn't going to be a simple journey.
Giraffes are known for having spots and one of the longest necks in the entire animal kingdom.
With their long necks, giraffes are able to find food in those hard to reach places like a towering tree. But humans don't have necks this length, so achieving this neck stretching technique was going to be a challenge. But Smith is not the first woman to achieve this.
The women of Kayan in Southeast Asia are total pros when it comes to neck stretching techniques.
They've been using brass coils to stretch their necks for a long time. It's a beauty trend in this region that some girls start when they're young. In the end, they'll wind up with some seriously long necks. And that's exactly what Smith set out to do.
When she was 25, Smith decided the best way to pay tribute to giraffes is to become just like them.
So, she started stretching her neck, which wasn't a very easy thing to do. For starters, she had to have the rings custom made just for her. Over time, she added one ring and then another to push her collarbone down.
The transformation process took five years and, in that time, she managed to stack up to 15 rings.
The rings might seem light weight, but they're not. Combined, the rings weighed 5 pounds which undoubtedly put a lot of strain on her neck. Smith had underestimated how much of a toll this process would take on her.


Home Lifestyle Family Are You Turning Your Child Into a Bully Without Even Realising it?
Are You Turning Your Child Into a Bully Without Even Realising it?
The hot topic at the moment that everyone is talking about is bullying and cyber bullying. We are all worried our child being bullied or in fact even worse, is the bully! What do we do if we know our child is being a bully? How do we change the behaviour in our child if they are the bully or how do we ask ourselves if we are contributing to the cause.
1. Do we gossip or backstab our friends or other people in front of our children.
Has your child grown up around a group of adults that sit around having coffee talking about the business of others? Maybe even having a good old laugh at the expense of the friends that are not there? How have we taught our children to have a group conversation? Is it always at the expense of someone else? Its important children and even teenagers are not always involved in adult conversation. They can sometimes understand more than we realise.
2. Is there a friend that is always the brunt of all the jokes?
When a group of friends are together- is there one person that just keeps getting picked on. We don't really mean it as adults, or do we? It's just that there is always one person we can say the comments too and make fun of them and no matter what they put up with it. Oh yes we always say it's a joke, but then again don't the bullies at school.
3. Do you ever exclude people?
We know we all can't all be the best of friends, but we do need to try and all get along. Do your children ever hear you say- we don't want them there – or are they really coming? Then when you get there you spend the whole time isolating someone and not making them feel included. Then when you get in the car, the whole way home you sit with your partner insulting every little thing they said and did.
This is such a man thing. Having a laugh at all the old stories of the fights we got into at nite clubs, parties and school. Or when we through that one great punch was a knock out. We make ourselves look like heroes. Yet if kids do that now they can get in some serious trouble. In face that one serious punch can often kill someone.
Many years ago Dr. Phil said that arguing in front of your children changes them forever. No matter how couples argue, whatever we do, it shapes who our children are. If we pick on each other's faults, yell and scream, say mean things to each other, go out of our way to hurt each other's feelings, ridicule each other, or the worst case scenario are violent and degrading then that's what we are exposing and teaching our children.
Our children mimic us from the moment they are born. This is just another way they show the world who the adults in their lives really are. If they are being a bully maybe it's time to look at your own behaviour. And be true to the man in the mirror.
If we have noticed some of these behaviours in ourselves then the step first thing is try to stop, or at least in front of our children. Take time out to talk to your child about how you are not proud of the things you have done and you have realised they are only rightfully copying you. Tell them how you regret it and you have seen how this makes others feel. You may also want to seek professional advice from a counsellor and possibly discuss it with your child's teachers. Tell them stories about how you have now realised what you did was wrong. Open and honest communication is the key. Be approachable.

X-ray and Advanced Imaging Policy Statement
The Code of Ethics (?the Code?) of The Chiropractors Association (Singapore) sets out standards of conduct and practice expected of its Doctors of Chiropractic (hereafter known as chiropractors). The Code is not an exhaustive set of rules and conduct not specifically covered will be judged in relation to what is considered the current sound practice of a reasonable and competent chiropractor.
The Code is founded on the principle that the welfare of the patient is paramount. It also assumes that chiropractors are personally responsible for their actions regardless of the clinical environment in which they work. In terms of practice, any action must demonstrate competency and safety to be deemed acceptable practice in the care of patients. Actions must also be considerate of environmental, societal and cultural values prevailing at the time.
Outline of the Code
The Code is divided into three main sections:
A. Duties owed to patient
B. Duties owed to the public
C. Duties owed to the profession
Duties owed to Patient, the public and the profession
1. Freedom to choose patients
a. Chiropractors are free to choose who they accept or reject as patients
b. If a patient presents as an acute case and the chiropractor is unable to undertake treatment or care, the chiropractor should make whatever onward referral is necessary as soon as is practicable.
2. Respect
a. Chiropractors shall listen to patients and shall respect their views and opinions in respect of their health. They will treat patients with courtesy and consideration.
b. Chiropractors shall at all times observe patient confidentiality. This duty extends to the communication of information verbally, electronically and in writing. Chiropractors shall take all steps to preserve confidentially by adopting such practice procedures as are necessary, including training of staff members.
c. Any release of information should be expressly permitted by the patient and chiropractors are strongly encouraged to obtain consent for disclosure in writing.
d. There are exceptions to this rule of confidentiality: (a) when the chiropractor believes it is in the patient?s best interests to disclose information to another health professional or relevant agency; (b) if the chiropractor believes that disclosure to someone other than a health professional is essential for the sake of the patient?s health; (c) if the disclosure is ordered by someone having the legal power to order it; (d) the chiropractor is advised that disclosure is required in the public interest. In all cases, other than when disclosure might endanger the chiropractor?s personal safety, the patient should be informed that disclosure will be made.
e. Chiropractors shall respect the privacy and dignity of patients. This includes a patient?s right to be treated in private and the provision of private changing facilities. When an open plan clinic is in use, a private treatment room must be provided upon request or the doctor must make a referral to a clinic that does provide private treatment rooms. Gowns should be provided for use by patients should they wish to use one. Dignity should be maintained at all times when assessing or caring for patients. This includes using appropriate language and respect for cultural or religious sensitivities or needs. A chaperone or appropriate third party should be considered wherever the proposed assessment or care may involve intimate areas or where the patient is a child under the age of 16 years.
f. Chiropractors shall treat patients equally regardless of their gender, lifestyle, culture, sexuality, religion, political views, social status or country of origin. At no time will they endeavour to exert influence by imposing their own views, beliefs or prejudices on a patient.
3. Openness
a. Chiropractors shall be open with their patients and encourage patients to be responsible for their health.

VIIA Britanica 'rail motorway' launched
FRANCE: SNCF Logistics subsidiary VIIA has launched its VIIA Britanica unaccompanied lorry semi-trailer service between the Port of Calais and Le Boulou near the Spanish border, with the first southbound train departing at 02.00 on March 30.
Described as the longest 'rail motorway' in Europe, VIIA Britanica avoids a 1 200 km journey by road. There is a train six days per week, with a second train planned. Each train is 680 m long, with 20 of the latest generation of Modalohr wagons able to carry a total of 40 semi-trailers. An agreement with P&O Ferries offers integrated cross-Channel transport of unaccompanied semi-trailers by sea to Dover, providing a corridor between Spain, France and the UK.
The operator of the ports of Boulogne and Calais has invested €7m in the project, with EU support. SNCF Logistics hopes the trains will carry 40 000 trailers/year within five years, removing 50 million lorry-km from the roads and reducing CO2 emissions by 50 000 tonnes/year. The launch of the service had been planned for January 12, but was delayed owing to safety concerns raised by the migrant situation in Calais.
VIIA's other rail motorway services have linked Aiton in southeast France with Orbassano near Torino in Italy since 2003, and Bettembourg in Luxembourg with Le Boulou since 2007.

Well done to 9 of our children who participated in the Forest of Dean Panathlon at Hartpury College. In total 10 schools took place, with our team coming 5th overall. The children all tried their very best and took part with fairness and enthusiasm. At the beginning, one or two were very nervous as this was their first time in a sporting competition, but as the competition got underway they became more relaxed and were soon enjoying the whole experience, as did other children. Many thanks to the staff and parents who helped with transport.

Q: Is definining scale-down-utilization-threshold on GKE possible? Can you even define the scale-down-utilization-threshold on GKE?  I can't figure out where I would define this if it is actually possible.

A: I'm not sure if you mean scale down an HPA or scale down a VPA or scale down cluster nodes based on the cluster autoscaler, or scale down GCP instance groups or an AWS ASGs.

*

*A Kubernetes HPA supports it based on a metric (typically CPU utilization). It will scale down to a minimum number of replicas defined in the HPA Kubernetes resource.

*A Kubernetes VPA supports it based on requests/limits (CPU, Memory). Keep in mind that it's not supported if used together with an HPA that is also using CPU and memory as scale metrics.

*The Kubernetes cluster autoscaler also supports downscaling based on the --scale-down-utilization-threshold and --scan-interval options. It's not recommended to use this together with a GCP instance group or an AWS ASG.

*GCP Instance groups or AWS ASGs scale down is supported on the nodes provided that you are not using the cluster autoscaler and using CPU or other metrics specific to the cloud provider VM instances.
Hope it helps

Facebook is still trying to figure out how to make viral apps
July 9, 2019 9:46 pm \ by Carol Edwards
Facebook is still trying to figure out how to make hit apps outside of its core service.
The social network announced that it's forming a new group called "NPE," which will work on experimental apps "focused on giving people entirely new experiences for building community."
It's not clear how large the new team is, or how often new apps will be released, but Facebook said in a statement that all of NPE's projects will launch with "NPE Team, from Facebook" branding (NPE stands for "New Product Experimentation.")
"This is a way for Facebook to develop new types of experiences for people and to try different ideas by creating small, focused apps in order to see whether people find certain features useful or engaging," the company wrote, noting it anticipates "many failures" along the way. Read more…

Cats Protection is the UK's leading feline welfare charity dedicated to rescuing and re-homing stray, unwanted or homeless cats and educating people about their welfare. The charity re-homes some 45,000 cats and kittens each year through a nationwide network of more than 250 volunteer-run branches and 32 adoption centres.
Hertfordshire-based Slam Signs was asked to wrap the charity's fleet of 51 vans and worked with Spandex, a leading supplier of innovative solutions for the sign making, graphics and display industries.
Spandex suggested using Print Wrap Film IJ180mC from 3M for its conformability and high gloss, bubble-free finish.
The film incorporates Comply Adhesive from 3M that has non-visible air release channels to ensure a smooth, bubble-free finish. The advanced slideability and initial tack allows installers to move the film effortlessly across any application surface and then re-position.
Print Wrap Film IJ180mC is available in gloss white, transparent and aluminium metallic options. This enables installers to create innovative designs, including mixing printed images with clear areas for stand-out effects and printing on metallic film for a high-tech finish.
Gloss white was used for the Cats Protection wrap and the team at Slam Signs is now looking to use the other finishes for future projects.

Antonio Carlos Rocha-Campos (Araras, 3 de março de 1937 – São Paulo, 22 de julho de 2019) foi um proeminente geólogo, pesquisador e professor universitário brasileiro.

Um dos pioneiros em pesquisas antárticas no Brasil, ajudou na implantação e operação do Programa Antártico Brasileiro e foi o único brasileiro a presidir o Comitê Científico sobre Pesquisa Antártica (SCAR). Dentro da Universidade de São Paulo criou o Centro de Pesquisa Antártica, do qual foi seu primeiro diretor.

Grande oficial e comendador da Ordem Nacional do Mérito Científico, foi também membro titular da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, do Conselho Internacional de Ciência, sediado na França, da Fundação de Estudos e Pesquisas Aquáticas, da Fundação Nacional da Ciência, dos Estados Unidos.

Biografia
Antonio Carlos nasceu em Araras, no interior de São Paulo, em 1937. Em 1956, aos 17 anos, ingressou no curso de Ciências Naturais na Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras (FFCL), da Universidade de São Paulo, graduando-se em 1960. No ano seguinte, ingressou no doutorado pelo Departamento de Geologia e Paleontologia, ainda da FFCL, obtendo o título em 1964, sob a orientação do Prof. Dr. Josué Camargo Mendes. Em 1969, obteve o título de livre-docente pela mesma instituição.

No mesmo ano, 1969, com a reforma universitária da USP, foi criado o Instituto de Geociências e Astronomia, dentro da Cidade Universitária, que em 1972 se chamaria apenas Instituto de Geociências, para o qual Antonio Carlos prestou concurso para o cargo de professor adjunto e depois, em 1980 para professor titular.

Carreira
Como pesquisador visitante no pós-doutorado, palestrou e pesquisou nas Universidade de Illinois, Universidade da Cidade de Nova Iorque, Universidade de Minnesota, Museu Americano de História Natural e no Serviço Geológico dos Estados Unidos. Também visitou a Universidade de Estrasburgo, na França. Em fevereiro de 1971, tomou posse na Academia Brasileira de Ciências.

No Instituto de Geociências criou o Centro de Pesquisas Antárticas, do qual foi diretor e de onde promoveu encontros e simpósios, além de ajudar na implantação do Programa Antártico Brasileiro. Com seu auxílio e orientação, o centro também promoveu várias edições do Simpósio Brasileiro de Pesquisas Antárticas, o principal evento científico da pesquisa brasileira na Antártica.

Antonio Carlos foi o primeiro geólogo a reconhecer o varvito de Itu, no interior paulista, onde se identificou um antigo lago glacial, posteriormente transformado no Parque Geológico do Varvito, em 1995, criado a partir do desativamento da Pedreira Itu.

Morte
Antonio Carlos vinha lutando contra a Doença de Parkinson já havia alguns anos e morreu no dia 22 de julho de 2019, na cidade de São Paulo, aos 82 anos. Ele foi sepultado no Cemitério do Santíssimo Sacramento, na capital paulista. Deixou a esposa, Maria Lucia Rocha Campos e três filhos.

The Smart Company Exhibition Center (SCEC) specializes in creating a variety of models and the interior design of exhibition halls and museums. Since its founding in 2005, the Seoul-based SCEC has handcrafted exhibition models through labor-intensive and time-consuming procedures.
In 2007, an urgent order required the company's employees to work long hours to meet the deadline. The project ultimately led SCEC to rethink its production model to gain speed. SCEC's planning and management department then purchased a powder-based 3D printer that produced 3D models based on 2D sketch input; however, the company soon realized that the precision and color reproduction of the powder-based models fell short of expectations.
Yoon Chang-sik, head of SCEC's planning and management department, displays one of the company's 3D printed models.


Building on its acquisition of certain assets from Brammo (see our test of the 2013 Brammo Empulse R here), Victory has announced it will put into production the Empulse TT (pictured) as a 2016 model. The Empulse TT follows Victory's participation in the Isle of Man TT earlier this year with an electric bike.
Here is the full press release from Victory, followed by specifications for the Empulse TT, which should be available for purchase in the U.S. later this year.
Medina MN, July 28th – Building on the innovative design and engineering that produced the fastest U.S. electric motorcycle at the 2015 Isle of Man TT Zero race, Victory Motorcycles has introduced the 2016 Empulse TT, the first all-electric addition to the Victory lineup. The Victory Empulse TT is a fully electric street-legal sport bike that is as capable of carving tight lines on twisting roads as it is powering the daily commute. Building on Victory Motorcycle's focus on performance, the Empulse TT features a sport bike-style aluminum beam-frame, an adjustable suspension, and aggressive brakes. With a combination of advanced technology and stylish, modern design, this unique new motorcycle delivers outstanding overall performance, zero-emission output, and a torquey motor.
The 65 mile range is a complete show stopper. Another in a continuous stream of low mileage bikes that will never sell.
Exactly. 65 miles? even at 100 miles its not even close to a usable vehicle. This is stupid beyond words.
Call me when your little electric toys and run all day, or at least recharge while I eat lunch.
Until then… this is a waste of time and money.
That's 65 miles when the batteries are brand spanking new. What will the range be a couple years later after you've put 20,000 miles on them?
There was a guy racing one at RA that charged his with panels on his trailer.
Does the rider get affected by that electric current running beneath them? Looks like a nice rig. I've heard good things about riding one. Have to test one when I get a chance. Victory dealer up the road.
I just hope they have one at Biketoberfest I can demo ride. It's a well known fact that I'm an empulsive buyer.
As a typical American, marketing will eventually wear me down on electric bikes. I would like to ride one, but that is risky, its how I ended up with a Ducati years ago. Like others, the biggest barriers for me are ride time, charge time and price. The range is only good enough for going out to breakfast or the store. A lot of folks would be pushing the limits just to commute on one of these, unless your employer gives you free electricity for a charge. When we go for a ride, it is almost always 100 miles, it just takes that much distance to get in a good ride.
I'll be waiting for better batteries.
This bike is a prime example of the conundrum that a would-be E-motorcycle maker faces. The "ideal" electric application would be an urban/scooter type of bike since today electric moto gets better range in the city and the average American drives 30 miles/day. The problem is, that product won't attract customers so they need to sell to "motorcyclists", who demand more range and performance than they're currently offering.
Better batteries will help, but a gallon of gasoline has always produced the same BTU as it does today. Point being, the battery is not the only opportunity.
I wish I had the dosh to be an early adopter. I really like this bike, both in terms of it look and performance, but the range, recharge and price are simply untenable for me. I know, same thing everyone gripes about, but there has to be a better way. Heck, if it only the price were reasonable I could commute on it and range/recharge wouldn't be an issue. If I can get a 600hp Tesla for $60k, why should I pay 1/3 the money for 1/10 the machine?
You won't get a current Tesla for 60K. It might have that listed as a starting price, but I don't think anybody gets a starting Tesla. By the time you get what most want on them, you're talking 90-100K a far cry from 60. However, 20K for an electric bike I will agree is more than what most will go for.
Wonderful! Glad to see Victory enter the electric market with such a good looking bike. Now we should all know the path that Victory is taking since re-introducing the Indian motorcycle. Now all we can do is hope that someday sooner than later, the electric bikes will be at least more affordable and I'm sure more range. Maybe Tesla's gigafactory will help with the afforable part.
What do you know, a coal powered motorcycle!
Most of the hydro power in the northwest is federally owned and goes to rural electric cooperatives. So chances are if you live in a city in Oregon you would be riding a coal powered bike just like the rest of us.
Apparently in Wayne's world, 100% of our electricity comes from coal. Otherwise he could have conceded that this bike is only partially coal powered, rather than referring to it as a "coal powered bike". It seems the facts are that, on average, coal is around 1/3 of the total power sources of US electricity. We can get all nit-picky and say that in a certain part of Oregon one might get a higher percentage of his electricity from coal, but that's really not the same as saying the bike is simply "coal powered". I did some more digging and it turns out that about 85% of my juice comes from the BPA Hydro, with the most of the remainder from nuclear. Don't get me wrong, I'm not all sappy for electric vehicles, but a blanket statement that the bike is simply "coal powered" seems a bit off to me.
Where I live, it would a 100% natural gas powered vehicle.
All the generation is interconnected so all the generated electricity goes to the grid and you take it off the grid. You use the same mix as is on the grid.
If your local utility is 100% natural gas fired generation then more local demand (an additional electric bike for example) means more natural gas generation on the grid. And it also means that you would be paying rates based on natural gas only and not the grid average even though you are not using only natural gas generated electricity.
The same is true for Oregon. An increase in demand would mean more generation from the local utility responsible for that load. But chances are that it will not mean a increase in hydro generation since they serve RECs and their generation is adjusted up or down in response to REC load primarily.
Damn, Wayne. Way to through a wet blanket over our eco-fantasies!
Wayne, good info and all true.
Exactly how much coal constitutes "1 tankful" of power on this motorcycle?
1.05 pounds of coal = 1kw/hour. Battery capacity =10.4 kw/hour, so "1 tankful" would be 15.6 pounds of coal.
Wow that's a staggering figure to me.
Put in perspective, 1 gallon of petroleum fuel produces 13.8 kwh, or .07gal/1kwh. Coal is just *that* cheap.
How about the range, life expectancy of the battery, battery warranty, and of course, what is the cost of the battery replacement, if and when you should need one?
Now lets see that Pikes Peak bike in production.
Does anyone know if it harms the batteries to plug it in wherever you stop for as long as you stop over the long term? Can you pull that stunt if you do some sort of periodic discharge and charge ritual?
Older battery types, such as NiCad and Ni-MH, developed a memory effect, and performed poorly if not completely discharged on a regular basis. Your garden tools and electric tooth brush probably still use this type of battery. However, Li-ion batteries are the exact opposite, and you should avoid running them down completely. This is true of your mobile phone; if you run the battery down to near zero on a regular basis, your phone battery will die much sooner. The Tesla electric car is designed to never allow the batteries to completely discharge to prolong battery life. If you buy the Victory Empulse, charge it as often as you can, and avoid running it until it is completely dead.
Lithium batteries can be put back on charge at any time just as long as they are not overcharged and get too hot. This is controlled by the charging system so there's nothing else needed from the user. A good charging system for lithium batteries will never actually charge them to 100% for that reason. Likewise, batteries are kept from discharging below about 30% as doing so will likely cause premature failure. Keeping lithium batteries in their sweet spot, between about 30% and 90% charge, they can live a long and happy life.
I know many folks can't afford to be early users of this technology, but I'm glad a major corporation has stepped up to the plate.
I hope I get a chance to try one!
Beautiful bike indeed. I like the paint scheme. Can't wait till the day that electric bikes can go as far as 200 mile range for one battery charge. Definitely it will get there.
so, in a nutshell, this is the first electric non-scooter motorcycle released by a major manufacturer?
A production motorcycle from a major US motorcycle manufacturer, AND it's not a cruiser. Now that's news. Way to go Victory! Glad to see they are trying something other than cruisers.
A good sign to see Victory stamping its name on the old Brammo without cruiserizing it. This gives me hope that there are some exciting things to come from Victory.
Great job Victory I am glad to see that you are taking risk's and starting to get into different styles of bikes including sport bikes (project 156) instead of continuing to make the same old stuff year after year like the so called motor company does.

Q: Custom admin menu order fails if slugs are complicated I'm not able to reorder WP Admin menu items when pages added with add_menu_page have complicated slugs. At least I think that's the problem...
First I create the custom menu items, which is working as expected:
function sma_simplify_admin_ui() {
    global $user_ID;
    if ( $user_ID != 1 ) {
        add_menu_page( 'Menu', 'Menu', 'edit_posts', 'nav-menus.php?action=edit&menu=16', '', 'dashicons-menu' );
        add_menu_page( 'Memberships', 'Memberships', 'edit_posts', 'edit.php?post_type=wc_user_membership', '', 'dashicons-groups' );
    }
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'sma_simplify_admin_ui' );

The new items cannot be reordered. If I put the exact slugs given when they were created, menu_order (and custom_menu_order) simply ignore them and my new items are always at the bottom of the menu.
function sma_reorder_admin_ui($menu_ord) {
    if (!$menu_ord) return true;
    return array(
        'nav-menus.php?action=edit&menu=16',
        'edit.php?post_type=wc_user_membership',
        /* truncated for clarity, there is more stuff */
    );
}
add_filter( 'custom_menu_order', 'sma_reorder_admin_ui' );
add_filter( 'menu_order', 'sma_reorder_admin_ui' );

Setting a priority when I create them isn't letting me reorder them either, which is really weird...
I'm theorising the slug expected by custom_menu_order & menu_order isn't what I'm giving it, but I don't know what to give it. I've also tried every single slug/key/thing that I get when I vardump $GLOBAL['menu'].
Please help me work out how to reorder my menu items!

A: I fixed this by changing the action I create the menu items from admin_init to admin_menu. The former runs far too early and I suppose was creating conflicts. I am now able to reorder my items by referencing them by their original slugs.
For future reference and in case it is helpful to others, the WP documentation for add_menu_page specifically recommends hooking to admin_menu.

Moreover, below drought strain, the expression of UGT74E2 (E. Transgenic Res 2006, 15:13-19. 32. Ye X, Al-Babili S, Kloti A, Zhang UDP-glucosyltransferase) in Arabidopsis thaliana can increase the rooting capacity and alter anthotaxy traits by regulating IBA and NAA activities, thereby enhancing resistance against drought and salt stress . Studies of the poplar transcriptome under salt pressure have shown some glucose glucosyltransferase genes expressed, title= geronb/gbp074 suggesting that such genes are involved in the salt tension resistance response in plants . The ERF (ethylene-responsive aspect) transcription variables belong towards the plant AP2/EREBP (APETALA2/ethylene-responsive element banding protein) superfamily  and play important roles in regulating growth, improvement, and pressure response. title= j.addbeh.2012.ten.012 One example is, exogenous JERF expression activates the expression of a large quantity of downstream genes that function in strain resistance and aids raise resistance against salt, drought, and low temperature tension by activating numerous stress-related cisacting components in transgenic tobacco plants [57,58]. We previously demonstrated that exogenous JERF36 drastically improves the salt tolerance of transgenic poplar (P. alba ?Populus berolinensis) . Prior physiological greenhouse tests have shown that overexpression of JERF36 in D5-20 beneath salt strain can regulate instantaneous water use efficiency (iWUE) and root growth, as a result enhancing salt resistance . Inside the present study, 14 AP2/ERF transcription components in D5-20 had been identified to be differentially expressed, such as 11 that had been up-regulated and three that were down-regulated. Among these,.Including carbohydrates (monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides), non-carbohydrates (proteins, lipids, antibiotics, plant hormones, plant toxins, and other people), some exogenous substances (herbicides and pesticides), and so on . Glycosyltransferase are consequently believed to be involved inside the tolerance of plants to biotic and abiotic stresses. By way of example, overexpression of UGT73C5 in transgenic Arabidopsis can enhance the resistance against fungal toxins . Furthermore, beneath drought tension, the expression of UGT74E2 (UDP-glucosyltransferase) in Arabidopsis thaliana can enhance the rooting capacity and alter anthotaxy traits by regulating IBA and NAA activities, thereby enhancing resistance against drought and salt anxiety . In the present study, several glycosyltransferase-related genes have been differentially expressed, like six UDP-glucuronosyl/ UDP-glucosyl transferase genes (4 up-regulated and two down-regulated), 4 galacturonosyl transferase genes (one particular up-regulated and down-regulated), 1 UDPglucose 4-epimerase/UDP-sulfoquinovose synthase geneZhang et al. BMC Genetics 2014, 15(Suppl 1):S7 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2156/15/S1/SPage 11 of(up-regulated), 4 plant glycosyltransferase genes, two glycosyl hydrolase genes, two glucanase genes, two fructose bisphosphate aldolase genes, and so on (downregulated). In accordance with KOG functional classification, these genes mostly function in energy production and conversion, carbohydrate transport and metabolism, and cell wall/membrane/envelope biogenesis. The phenomena of up-regulation and down-regulation of equivalent glycosyltransferase genes might be as a result of the fact that unique protein goods are encoded by such genes, or that they've distinct catalytic substrates. By way of example, phylogenetic evaluation of six UDP-glucuronosyl/UDP glycosyltransferase genes revealed that the amino acid sequences within a single group have been identical in two up-regulated genes (Potri.017G052400 and Potri.017G052000), and also the other two up-regulated genes had been within a group too. These variations could generate distinctive catalytic activities or distinctive catalytic substrates within the enzyme.

Condo, co-op prices still rising in Manhattan
Year-over-year median-price gains of 6% to 15% seen in Q4
Condo and co-op prices and sales rose in Manhattan during the fourth quarter compared to the same quarter last year, according to a series of real estate market reports released today.
A report by Prudential Douglas Elliman and research firm Radar Logic Inc. found that the median sales price of Manhattan co-ops and condos rose from $799,000 in fourth-quarter 2006 to $850,000 in fourth-quarter 2007 — a gain of 6.4 percent. But the median price fell 1.7 percent in the fourth quarter compared to the prior quarter's median price of $864,397, according to the report.
A separate report, prepared by Halstead Property and data company ValuExchange, found that the median price of Manhattan co-ops and condos rose 14 percent in the past year, from $725,000 in fourth-quarter 2006 to $828,000 in fourth-quarter 2007. And still another report, prepared by The Corcoran Group and Mitchell, Maxwell & Jackson, found that the median price jumped 15 percent, from $799,000 in fourth-quarter 2006 to $915,000 in fourth-quarter 2007.
According to the Prudential report, the average price per square foot among Manhattan co-ops and condos rose 18.2 percent, from $998 in fourth-quarter 2006 to $1,180 in fourth-quarter 2007, the number of sales rose 3.2 percent, the days on market from the last list date dropped 12.4 percent, the listing discount from the last list price was down 5 percent, and the total listing inventory fell 13.5 percent.
The number of sales grew from 2,441 in fourth-quarter 2006 to 2,518 in fourth-quarter 2007. The average sales price rose most dramatically for three-bedroom and two-bedroom units, according to the Prudential/Radar Logic report, and two-bedroom units accounted for 42 percent of all sales, with one-bedroom units accounting for 36 percent of sales.
The average price per square foot of Manhattan co-ops rose 21 percent, from $872 in fourth-quarter 2006 to $1,055 in fourth-quarter 2007, and the average price per square foot of Manhattan condos rose 10.6 percent, from $1,184 to $1,310. And the median sales price jumped 3.8 percent for co-ops and 6.8 percent for condos in the fourth quarter compared to fourth-quarter 2006, according to the report.
"Like the preceding three quarters of 2007, Manhattan has continued to benefit from a weak dollar and a solid economy," said Jonathan Miller, executive vice president and director of research for Radar Logic Inc., in a statement.
Radar Logic also produces a price index based on the price per square foot of homes in market areas across the country. In the latest monthly index, which is based on an aggregate of daily data for a 28-day period, the price per square foot in New York rose 2.7 percent in the latest study period compared to the same period in 2006. And a separate report, the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home-price index, found that prices fell 4.1 percent in the New York market area in October compared to the same month last year.

4 Cups of Passover and the Cup of Redemption
Rabbi Barney Kasdan2018-12-16T16:08:41-08:00
Our G-d, the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, loves symbolism. Perhaps it is because He realizes that we mortals have a difficult time comprehending the things of the Spirit. Yet G-d wants us to understand Him, indeed to know Him in a very personal way. Nowhere does the use of symbolism shine forth more strongly than in the Biblical Holy Day of Pesach, Passover. Through the course of the Seder meal, we make use of a rather strange variety of elements such as parsley, horseradish, and matzah. Yet, all of this is vital for believers to understand not only because it is based on Biblical commandments, but also because the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus of Nazareth) celebrated this beautiful Feast. In fact He chose Pesach to teach His followers many lessons about the work that He could accomplish as Messiah.
For generations Israel has celebrated the 4 Cups of Passover. These were to symbolize the 4 promises which G-d made to our people in Exodus 6:6-7: "I will bring you out…I will deliver you…I will redeem you…then I will take you for my people." What promises these are to celebrate! For Messianic believers the third cup is especially significant.
The Cup of Redemption, as it is called, was of course to remind the Jew of our physical redemption. It is a rich word (ga alti) that G-d uses to describe a slave being bought out of the slave market. And if anyone could understand the concept of redemption it was that generation that was delivered from Egypt! For over 400 years our people had been literal slaves but suddenly they were set free. In a most dramatic way G-d illustrated this redemption through the slaying of the Passover Lamb:
"for the L-rd will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the L-rd will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you." (Exodus 12:33)
Even after that first Passover, Jews continued to remember the redemption; not with the literal blood on the doorposts, but with the third cup of the Passover Seder called the Cup of Redemption. We were slaves, but now we are free! How? By the death of that innocent Passover lamb. To many modern Jews this might sound like outdated superstition. But I can't think of a more practical way to test the true faith of a person; afterall, faith is merely submitting to what G-d says we should do. G-d was showing us that redemption would be realized only as we trusted in His way. We must be brought out of slavery by the purchase made by G-d Himself.
In light of this history of the Cup of Redemption, it is fascinating to take a look at the Passover Seder that Yeshua celebrated with His disciples. He had already proclaimed time and again that He was in fact the Messiah sent from G-d. He had performed many attesting miracles to back up those claims to our people. But what symbol could illustrate to the Jewish disciples the reality of Messiah's redemption?
"And He took a cup (the third cup) and gave thanks and gave it to them saying 'Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant which is to be shed on behalf of many for forgiveness of sins." (Matthew 26:27-28)
Imagine the impact this must have had on those disciples! They had celebrated Passover for many years. Every year they drank the third cup, the Cup of Redemption, to commemorate the physical deliverance from the bondage of Egypt; a deliverance that was symbolically paid for by the death of an innocent lamb. Yeshua of course joyfully celebrated this historical deliverance as well. It was a miracle of G-d! But what is amazing about that last Passover Seder is that Yeshua expanded the meaning of many of the symbols. For Messianic believers the third cup would now also commemorate the spiritual redemption from the bondage of sin and death. This redemption would likewise be purchased by the death of an innocent sacrifice. Not that lamb of Passover, but of the greater fulfillment; the Lamb of G-d, the Messiah Himself! As the disciples raised that Cup of Redemption, they were to remember the blood of the lamb in Egypt. Now this spiritual message would be fulfilled, as Yeshua said "this (cup) is My blood of the Covenant!"
Today most Christians recognize this symbolism in what is called the "Eucharist," "Communion," or "The L-rds Supper." But with proper understanding of Bible history, I think we can see that it is really the spiritual reality behind Passover. It was not something new that Yeshua created, but rather the fulfillment of something very old.
For this reason, the Passover Seder does not become less important for believers in Yeshua (contrary to what some may say). But indeed it becomes all the more important as G-d's teaching tool of our redemption! For us it is a great privilege to gather at the Passover table, to lift the Cup of Redemption and to celebrate the redemption paid for by our Messiah. As Rabbi Saul of Tarsus reminded the early believers:
"For Messiah our Passover also has been sacrificed. Let us therefore celebrate the Feast! " (1 Cor. 5:8)
To this the Messianic believers of today respond with a heartfelt "Amen."
