Singapore, 18 March 2015 – In a Singapore first, PacificLight Energy (PLE), the electricity retailing arm of Singapore power company PacificLight Power (PacificLight), and Renewable Energy Corporation (REC), a leading global provider of solar energy solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to offer a new hybrid energy solution, which will encourage electricity consumers in Singapore to adopt solar power as a source of clean and renewable energy.
The collaboration between PLE and REC, called the "PLEdge to RECharge Green Energy Program", will provide customisable solutions for Singapore businesses that incorporate the proportion of solar power best suited to each customer's energy needs, regardless of roof space. Through these hybrid solutions, customers will be able to reduce energy costs, while also decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and pledging their commitment to environmental sustainability.
Under the PLEdge to RECharge Green Energy program, customers can elect an ownership or leasing arrangement model for solar panels provided by REC and the desired proportion of energy generated by the solar panels. The remaining energy requirements will be met by PLE through the provision of natural gas-fired electricity from Singapore's energy grid.
The program has been established in response to the Singapore government's support for the development and deployment of solar technology as part of its efforts to diversify the nation's energy mix. It also complements the SolarNova initiative spearheaded by Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB).
The program will be introduced for an initial period of two years, during which time PLE and REC will continue to explore innovative ways to encourage companies to adopt green energy and become more energy efficient.

Davos 2020: Here's what you need to know about tech for good
'Technological progress over the last half century has been staggering.'

Greta Keenan Programme Specialist, Science and Society, World Economic Forum
In the last 50 years we have seen enormous technological progress.
Technologies like quantum computing, autonomous vehicles and biotechnologies will soon hit the mainstream.
Public dialogue and governance are crucial to ensure future technologies are used responsibly and fairly.
When the first participants gathered in Davos in 1971, personal computers and mobile phones hadn't been invented, ATMs were yet to hit the mainstream, and the medical devices and genetic tests routinely used in today's clinical practice were inconceivable.
9 reasons to be optimistic about tech in 2020
How businesses can create an ethical culture in the age of tech
Technological progress over the last half century has been staggering. And as we mark the 50th anniversary of the Annual Meeting in Davos, we're entering a new era of innovation. Disruptive technologies like blockchain, autonomous vehicles and gene editing, which have been on the cusp for several years, are about to impact our lives, for real.
These technologies have the potential to benefit humankind in numerous ways, but only if they are used responsibly and ethically. Take artificial intelligence for instance: the algorithms behind deepfake technology, capable of misleading entire populations and disrupting democracy, can also be used to diagnose diseases like cancer at an early stage, leading to better health outcomes.
What is the World Economic Forum doing about the Fourth Industrial Revolution?
The World Economic Forum was the first to draw the world's attention to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the current period of unprecedented change driven by rapid technological advances. Policies, norms and regulations have not been able to keep up with the pace of innovation, creating a growing need to fill this gap.
The Forum established the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network in 2017 to ensure that new and emerging technologies will help—not harm—humanity in the future. Headquartered in San Francisco, the network launched centres in China, India and Japan in 2018 and is rapidly establishing locally-run Affiliate Centres in many countries around the world.
World Economic Forum | Centre for the Fourth Industrial R...
The global network is working closely with partners from government, business, academia and civil society to co-design and pilot agile frameworks for governing new and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous vehicles, blockchain, data policy, digital trade, drones, internet of things (IoT), precision medicine and environmental innovations.
Learn more about the groundbreaking work that the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network is doing to prepare us for the future.
Want to help us shape the Fourth Industrial Revolution? Contact us to find out how you can become a member or partner.
The expansion of the internet of things (IoT) could put jobs and personal data at risk, but if rolled out responsibly, could revolutionise peoples' health, safety, finances, and daily planning.
Powerful gene editing tools could - in the wrong hands - be used to engineer viruses capable of wiping out entire populations, but could equally be harnessed to save endangered species and eliminate debilitating hereditary diseases.
While there are concerns about the impact disruptive technologies will have on the the lives of individuals and societies, there is little doubt that the decade ahead will be dominated by innovation. World leaders are focussed on how to develop and apply technologies that benefit both people and the planet, and will look to society to shape their development.
Ahead of Davos 2020, here are some insights from participants who have written for Agenda.
Robo-taxis will increase congestion without changes in regulation according to a group of management consultants at Arthur D Little. The only way to minimise congestion will be for everyone to switch to autonomous vehicles and for manufacturers to reduce safety distances between cars.
Microsoft calls for increased governance of how technologies are designed and who they are sold to, and plans to implement a robust Responsible AI governance process.
"It is up to all of us to use technological advancements to tackle the world's greatest challenges and turn them into our biggest opportunities," writes Christian Klein, Co-CEO, SAP.
5G technology will underpin the green industrial revolution that's needed to avert catastrophic warming, writes the CEO of Nokia.
What's coming up at Davos
From quantum computing to robotics, many of the key trends in technology will be on the Davos agenda. You can follow all the sessions from Davos here, and follow the meeting across social media using the hashtag #WEF20. Highlights about tech will appear here. You can submit your own ideas on how to make sure game changing technologies are a force for good, and six other ways to make the world a fairer place, here.

This craggy multi-faceted protrusion not only looks like a diamond but was once the jewel in the crown of the British fleet of war ships attempting to dominate the Caribbean islands. The British and the French fought over so many islands in the early 19th century that ships were sometimes in short supply. Only one ship, the 74-gun Centaur was assigned to blockade the ports of Martinique. By capturing a French ship they were able to double their defences but even this was poor cover because Martinique had two harbours, St. Pierre in the north and the bay which is now called Fort de France in the south.
Short of ships but not imagination, Commodore Sir Samuel Hood declared Diamond Rock a man-of-war and proceeded to equip her as one. Guns were hauled to the top of the rock and the passage between Martinique and Diamond Rock was secured. They even built a hospital in one of the caves on the rock. This was no temporary gesture; the rock remained in service for 2 years.
Thankfully, scuba equipment had not been invented or no doubt someone would have decided that the easiest way of unseating the British would be to send a crack team of navy divers to plant explosives under the rock. Though, the underwater terrain suggests that someone might have tried.
When we arrive at the rock our dive leader decides to do the site known as La Faille, meaning a fault or breach in the rock. We anchor on the west side of the island, protected from the easterly wind and waves. The boats are able to anchor here on sand in 65 feet, on the top of a ledge. As we drop down the anchor line, we can see the edge of the ledge as it drops away steeply and are tempted to explore. But, we had been briefed that a tunnel was fun to swim through so we follow our dive leader as he moves off anti-clockwise.
On the sand and the rocks a healthy crop of sargassum is growing but it soon clears and the scenery changes to a rainbow of sponges and coral. Lively shining crinoids wave their long arms medusa-like. Towering clumps of encrusted rocks sprout anemones and a variety of hydroids. There are numerous trumpetfish well disguised by the sargassum.
A curtain of sea fans draws us through a small tunnel where yet more crinoids hang from the walls and ceilings, filtering the water that passes through and stroking the divers like the outstretched arms of fans eager for contact with their idol. As we emerge from the tunnel a decorative display of hard corals greets us.
Thinking we had seen the tunnel mentioned in our briefing, we are unprepared for the arch ahead which, as we enter, opens up into a tunnel right under the rock. The noise is extraordinary as the sea forces itself through the tunnel, tugging at the very foundations of the rock. The surge lifts and discards us as if we are feathers or at least inconsequential compared to its battle with the cold hard material of Diamond Rock.
As we reluctantly leave the tunnel behind, we are greeted by sunny yellow tube sponges and a whole rock covered in mat gorgonians like a shag pile carpet. Turn around and look back at the tunnel and you will see a rock formation like the bowsprit of a ship, perhaps the rock's attempt to modify its morphology to fit its historical role.
After the tunnel, we turn right and return along a slope toward the anchored boat. There are good brain and flower corals here and elephant ear sponges like huge pieces of discarded orange peel. We see several sargassum triggerfish along this stretch of the slope. It is interesting terrain from 50 feet down to as deep as your dive profile and air will allow. Sergeant majors and damselfish will chase you off their patch and look out for spotted drums under the numerous ledges.
Back on the boat we gaze up at the rock, imagining the colourful life it had for a short spell in the early 1800s. It seems strange to think of the colourful life below the waterline going on then as it does now.
There are a number of different sites around Diamond Rock. One known as La Piscine is relatively shallow (15-25 feet) and suitable for novice divers. At one site there is an old French warship anchor at 35 feet. On the west side an English warship anchor has been found but, unfortunately, it is at 200 feet. Although the rock is on the south side of the island, hence exposed to the open sea, the dive stores are usually able to find a sheltered area for divers to kit up and the area can be dived almost everyday.
Thanks to Philip Callewaert of Subchandlers.

~WATER REMINDS US TO GO WITH THE FLOW, INSTEAD OF FIGHTING AGAINST IT.~As you may sense, too, there is so much happening beneath the surface, behind the scenes, and between the lines now. Those of us who are naturally wired and purposed to be Walkers Between the Worlds are feeling that calling heighten now. The veil is thinning and interdemensional reality is more 'real' than ever. It is important to take time for yourself to recharge during these highly shifting energetic times.
Below I've listed how to use and work with the element of water to help calm your emotions, your central nervous system, and to detox from Energetic, negative, toxic debris. For an Empath water and nature are the healing elements that allow us to recharge and rejuvenate.
Imagine You Are Sitting Right Here. Imagine the sun on your skin, the salt air caressing your lungs, the sounds of nature healing you.
Look at images of water. Let your imagination, that right brain, feminine, intuitive insight guide you to calming serenity and peaceful relaxation .
Breathe 6 Deep Breaths In & Out. Feel Yourself Calming, Centering, Balancing.
Taking a detox bath to clear the mind, body and spirit does wonders. Sea salt is an excellent source to remove negative energy build up.
Given the energies swirling around now, some of the basic energy management practices demonstrate their worth. This one's good to consider for your morning and before bedtime practices to start and end your day.
For this, simply envision yourself under a Divine Love & Light energy or imaginal shower or lovely, gentle waterfall, with a clear and mindful intention to 'hose off' and transmute toxic or otherwise unhelpful energies with a clean vibe energy stream.
So basic, but — as with Grounding practices — there's a reason it's a foundational practice. As with much energy work, clarity of focus and intention are key.
The Water element is also associated with the kidneys, and the emotion of fear, in particular. Something to be aware of, and remember that fear arises to be acknowledged and cleansed — it's a sign, not a perpetual state to live in, and we're all releasing conditioning around this at this time.
This notion and practice was given a boost in more recent times by the work of Dr. Masuro Emoto's images and studies of the effects of positive or negative vibrations (words, etc.) on water crystals.
Based on his work as well as eons long traditions of prayer and blessing, speak or write blessings and other 'high vibration' words to bless a glass, bottle, or pitcher of water that you can then drink and use for other rituals and purposes. You can add flower essences, too, if you wish.
Not surprisingly, some of the highest vibration words and effects noted in Dr. Emoto's work included "Love, Gratitude, Thank You, I love you", blessing … you get the gist? These same words we can feel the vibration within ourselves. By blessing the water before use we are blessing ourselves with good, healing energy.
These are just a few of the ways that Water is our ally as move through the world as Empaths and Energy Sensitives, prioritizing the self care and inner guidance that helps us to more effectively share our gifts with the world and fulfill our purpose amidst the chaotic energies of these transformative times.
Feel Yourself Being Energetically Cleansed and Rejuvenated At The End Of Every Session.
Thank you so much for entering my life Metaphysically~ at this time I definitely feel a super strong shift in the universe and my life as a whole, thanks for the guidance on my journey. If it wasn't for you I would not really know what to do or expect with the much needed life shifting energy I am going through at this time. I am staying super positive and asked for 3 things from the universe, I now posses the courage to have my wishes sent my way. I love your posts so much, they are a God send!! Thank you again. Love Light Peace and Happiness!!

On 5th May 1899, nine gentlemen, meeting in the Exchange Station Hotel, Liverpool, unanimously carried a resolution by Mr EA Morton of Old Xaverians FC 'that a League be formed under the title of the Lancashire Amateur League'. It is further recorded 'that Mr J Grant be asked to take the position of Secretary of the new organisation'. In September that year, the League haltingly got underway, with just seven teams: Old Xaverians, Bolton Amateurs, Leek, Blackburn Etrurians, Melling, University College and Owens College. Many amateur clubs in the cradle of the professional game, Lancashire, were desirous of giving more shape to their footballing endeavours; the League was the consequence. It is clear that they aimed from the start to be prestigious, inviting the President of the Lancashire FA, Mr DB Woodfall, to be the first LAL President, and Mr JJ Bentley, President of the Football League, to be Vice-President. To arrange their first season's fixtures, the clubs' representatives met.
Entry was tightly controlled in the early years — the committee sought applications from clubs it wished to see join, often being rebuffed, and in turn often turned down unwanted applicants. The membership, as a consequence, grew slowly. Meetings of the executive were few in number, and there were no sub-committees; discipline was the main executive concern. Problems of matches-not-played were frequent, referees had a tough time (ring any bells anywhere?). Little appears in the records which would have come as a surprise to a modern Council. Fines, allowing for the relative value of money in those days, were heavy.
In 1901-1902 a reserve division of 5 clubs was formed. In the previous season, the first inter-league game was played, in Belfast, against the Irish Junior Football Alliance. Soon the LAL Clubs were thinking about entering for the Lancashire FA Amateur Cup. Many seeds of today's familiar patterns were quickly sown.

It may not surprise you to learn that user error is one of the biggest risks to your IT security that you can face. In particular, careless or malicious administrators can have a disastrous effect on the integrity of your systems and data. Whether you are an enterprise organization with a team of admins, or a small business with just one, it's important that you know exactly what they are up to and what changes they are making.
As an Office 365 administrator, it's more than likely that you monitor the ways in which your users are interacting with this platform – as you know the potential risks badly structured security policies and configurations and the risks of excessive privilege. Why do you do this? It's not because you don't trust your users to be responsible with their privileges, it's just good practice.
The same kind of attention needs to be placed on monitoring the activities of your Admins. Trust is not a security policy. Rogue admins, or careless admins have far more ability to damage your organization than anyone else. Whether you trust them with this level of responsibility or not, monitoring their activities is simply good practice.
Well, firstly you need to sort out your admin roles in Office 365. If you're a small business, it's likely that you won't need to split roles out between different admins as they can be controlled by a single Global Administrator. If, however, your organization is a bit larger, you can split the workload between eight different roles.
You do not have to assign all of these roles to different people, it depends on your organization. If you do choose to spread these responsibilities out, be very careful about the people you pick to take up the roles. You should choose not only people that you trust but people that know the responsibility of an admin position and the best practices for being secure. They should know how to make changes to the Office 365 environment safely in order to minimize the risk of data breach incidents.
One of your admins has gone into your Office 365 environments and accidentally deleted a large number of user accounts. This person realized the mistake they made and reversed the change, bringing the user accounts back. However, you have received numerous complaints that valuable data has been lost in the process. What do you do?
Clearly, this incident warrants investigation and action so that it doesn't happen again. But where do you start?
Thankfully, there are a number of ways that you can monitor what your Office 365 admins are up to. One is by using the Audit Log Search function in the Office 365 Security and Compliance Center. From this function, you can view a list of all the activities your admins have made in Office 365, so it is the perfect place to begin your investigation.
The Audit Log Search contains information on almost every change or activity in your environment that you can imagine. The powerful searching and filtering functionality also makes investigations fairly simple. The only thing you have to be wary of is the sheer number of available events to choose from. Just make sure you have it clear in your head what you are looking for before you begin your search.
There are a number of reasons why using native auditing when it comes to monitoring your Office 365 users isn't the best method, despite its seemingly powerful auditing features.
Firstly, Audit Logging isn't automatically running in the background of your Office 365 environment – with the one exception being Exchange Online. You will need to go into the Office 365 Security and Compliance Center and activate it manually. The problem with this is that if you experience an incident that highlights the need for enabling Audit Logging, you won't be able to investigate that incident as the audit logs won't exist.
Secondly, as mentioned above, there is a huge volume of raw event logs that you will have to sift through in order to get to the key information you need. With no easy way of separating the key information from the noise, it can take a lot of time, care and attention to draw anything meaningful from the Audit Log Search.
Thirdly, even if you enabled Audit Logging years ago, the audit logs are only stored for 90 days. A large proportion of data breaches are not identified immediately, in some cases going unnoticed for years. If you're having to rely on Audit Logging to investigate incidents like this, you're in trouble, as the audit logs simply won't miss.
Fourthly, it can be very difficult to isolate the action your admins are taking in the Security and Compliance Center, as the Audit Logging diligently records all the activities in your Office 365 environment, regardless of whether it was a user or an admin that was involved. The filtering capabilities of The Audit Log Search do not give you an easy way to separate out user and admin, all adding to the time it would take you to investigate an incident.
There is a way to overcome these limitations, and it may not be as expensive, complex or difficult to deploy as you would think. Office 365 auditing solutions, like LepideAuditor, enable you to easily see what changes your admins are making in your Office 365 environment; including changes to privileged users/groups, configurations and permissions.
Once deployed, LepideAuditor runs continuously in the background, collecting and storing change information for much longer than the 90-day cut-off you get with native auditing. What's more, the searching, sorting and filtering capabilities are far superior, allowing you to see exactly what activities your admins have been up to. Reports and can be delivered periodically and alerts received in real time to ensure that data breach incidents do not go unnoticed for long periods of time.

Bertha and Wall-E Help Kiddos with Tourette's Syndrome Turn Down Their Tics
Kids with Tourette's Syndrome are just like everybody else. They run and jump in the playground, they enjoy making volcanoes bubble in science class, and they love poking fun at their brothers and sisters. However, sometimes kids with Tourette's Syndrome act a little bit different because they make movements and noises called tics. These tics are like little involuntary hiccups, that the kids aren't purposefully doing, or in full control of. For example, if a child has a tic that causes their arm to move a lot, it's much more difficult for this child to write an essay or a math test in school, because their writing keeps getting all scribbly! And to make matters worse for these kids, since other kids often don't understand tics they can often be socially isolated. This project seeks to help kids with Tourette's Syndrome better control their tics, so that they might feel more included at school, during sports and with their family.

The MacMaster Research Lab uses a fun magnetic therapy called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to change how brains function in kids with Tourette's Syndrome. Our TMS device is in a robot named Bertha, and we use a cool camera called Wall-E to track kids as they move and see inside their brains! TMS uses magnets to safely stimulate parts of the brain (specifically the Supplementary Motor Area), to turn down tics in kids with Tourette's Syndrome.
By turning down the expression of tics in kids with Tourette's Syndrome, we can help these kids succeed in their academic, athletic and family communities. The kiddo with an arm tic who has trouble writing – because it keeps getting scribbly – may be better able to control this tic after TMS treatment, to better write tests and assignments at school, improving academic performance. Success in school often leads to employment success, giving these kids their best chance long-term to lead healthy, positive lives in their communities. Approximately 0.3-0.6% of children have Tourette's Syndrome, which is 305,757 to 611,514 children in Alberta alone. Current treatments of antipsychotic medication and behavioural therapy are not always effective or available and may have negative side-effects such as weight gain or fatigue (medication). New treatments are needed for kids with Tourette's Syndrome to help them control their tics, to feel more in control of their bodies, to lead their best lives.

One Arrested For Murdering Girl Friend
Hyderabad NewsTop Stories
Alwal: The Alwal police on Tuesday arrested one, Deepak (19), for murdering his girlfriend, Saraswathi (18) on Monday evening.
According to police, the accused person honey-trapped the girl one year ago by stating that he was in love with her and wanted to marry her. As the girl accepted his proposal, they both started dating each other and also had a physical relationship. As days passed, the girl started asking Deepak to marry her at the earliest, but the accused Deepak did not intend to marry her as he only had intentions of having physical relation with her.
But as the girl kept on insisting him to marry her, the accused Deepak hatched a conspiracy to eliminate her and with this intention, he told the girl to meet him near Kistamma enclave in Alwal on Monday evening. As the girl believed the accused she went to the spot and from there on they traveled to the BHEL colony.
The accused then took her to a secluded place and killed her by choking her throat with her dupatta and took her mobile and bag from the scene of offense and fled from the spot, said the police.
Initially, a case under section 363 of IPC was registered, but the case was altered and the accused was booked under sections 364, 302, 201 of IPC and remanded to judicial custody.

King Pushes to Prioritize Study of Children's Mental Health During Pandemic
Senator and colleagues seek information on anxiety and depression among children and young adults since the beginning of the pandemic
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Angus King (I-Maine) joined 14 of his Senate colleagues in a letter urging the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to prioritize efforts to study and understand the impact of the pandemic on the mental health of children and young adults. Recent reports have highlighted a substantial increase in anxiety and depression among children and young adults since the beginning of the pandemic—with one study finding that nearly one-third of high school students surveyed reported feeling unhappy or depressed in recent months. Earlier this month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data showing that the proportion of children's emergency room visits related to mental health had increased significantly during the pandemic.
"No one is immune to the stress that has accompanied the pandemic, and many aspects of this public health crisis have been demonstrated to adversely affect the mental health of children and young adults. Over 13 million people have had coronavirus in our country, and studies have shown that children are more likely to report mental health issues if they personally know someone infected with the coronavirus. A record rate of 22 percent of children had an unemployed parent in the early months of the pandemic, and research shows that children are more likely to report mental health problems when a parent or guardian loses a job," the senators wrote.
In the letter to NIMH, Senator King and his colleagues call on Director Joshua Gordon to provide information on current steps the agency is taking to study this issue as well as encourage prioritization of these efforts to better understand both the short-term and long-term consequences of the pandemic on mental health in children and young adults. The letter also asks if the agency has any specific initiatives underway to study whether there is a connection between the increased reliance on and use of social media platforms and mental health among teenagers and young adults.
Senator King is a supportive of providing additional resources to bolster mental health services given the anxiety and uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic. In September, Senator King introduced the Social-Emotional Learning for Families (SELF) Act to provide additional resources to support the mental health and safety of children and improve educational outcomes for students. In May, Senator King participated in a video teleconference with Maine Alliance for Addiction and Mental Health Services to connect with their staff that work with Maine's behavioral health organizations and help those coping with substance use disorders and mental health challenges. Near the beginning of the pandemic, Senator King also urged increased investments in mental and behavioral health in future COVID-19 relief legislation. Reports have shown Americans are experiencing negative effects on their mental health due to the coronavirus pandemic – which could pose short- and long-term dangers to their well-being.
Full text of the letter can be found HERE and below.
Dear Director Gordon:
We write to request information about the efforts the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is taking to study the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the mental health of children and young adults and to encourage NIMH to prioritize these efforts to improve the ability of policymakers to respond to this pressing matter.
Recent reports have highlighted the increased prevalence of anxiety and depression among children and young adults as the current public health crisis persists. While this pandemic has taken a toll on the mental health of many Americans, the impact has been especially severe on teenagers, who rely on friendships and connections while handling the pressure of high school. One recent study found that nearly one-third of surveyed high school students reported feeling unhappy or depressed in recent months, and more than a quarter of those students felt disconnected from teachers, classmates, or their school community.
Earlier this month, the CDC released data showing that the proportion of children's emergency room visits related to mental health had increased significantly during the pandemic – increasing 31 percent for children between ages 12 and 17 from March to October compared to the same period in 2019. There was also a 24 percent increase in emergency room visits for children between ages 5 and 11. These troubling findings only further highlight concerns about the psychological effects that this pandemic is having on young people, and in particular on adolescents who are members of historically disadvantaged populations.
No one is immune to the stress that has accompanied the pandemic, and many aspects of this public health crisis have been demonstrated to adversely affect the mental health of children and young adults. Over 13 million people have had coronavirus in our country, and studies have shown that children are more likely to report mental health issues if they personally know someone infected with the coronavirus. A record rate of 22 percent of children had an unemployed parent in the early months of the pandemic, and research shows that children are more likely to report mental health problems when a parent or guardian loses a job.
As the lead federal agency for research on mental disorders, we respectfully request that you respond to the following questions:
1. What initiatives at NIMH are underway to research the mental health impact of this pandemic on children and young adults, including both the short-term and long-term consequences?
a. What steps is NIMH taking to ensure your studies cover a range of communities and populations to account for the different backgrounds and circumstances of children experiencing symptoms of mental health disorders?
b. What systems are in place to ensure that these findings are shared with relevant agencies, Congress, and the public to help inform the decisions of policymakers?
2. As social media and online platforms emerge as critical communication tools during this pandemic, do you have any specific initiatives underway to study the connection between the increased dependence on social media and mental health for children and teenagers? If so, please explain
3. Could additional resources be used to facilitate or improve or accelerate the body of research on the intersection of the pandemic and children's mental health? If so, please describe.
We look forward to hearing about your research initiatives to protect and improve the health of the American people, including the mental health needs of the youngest members of our society.

\section{Introduction}                                        \label{sec:Introduction}

The study of chemical abundances in stars with planetary companions proved to
be fundamental for our understanding of the formation of planetary systems as a whole \citep[][]{Ida-2004b,Mordasini-2012}.
Important clues for the processes of planet formation and evolution have been brought by the discovery that the frequency of giant planets is a strong function
of stellar metallicity \citep[e.g.][]{Santos-2004b,Fischer-2005}, as well
as by the fact that such a correlation does not seem to be present for stars hosting lower mass
planets \citep[][]{Sousa-2011,Buchhave-2012} -- see, however, discussions in
\citet[][]{Adibekyan-2012}  and \citet[][]{Wang-2015}. Also,
the stellar chemical composition seems to be related to the
structure of the planets that were formed: the heavy
element content of a giant planet seems to correlate with the host star metallicity \citep[][]{Guillot-2006,Fortney-2007}.
The whole planetary architecture (e.g., orbital periods and eccentricities) may be related to the presence of
heavy elements in the stellar host \citep[][]{Beauge-2013,Dawson-2013,Adibekyan-2013}.

Specific relative abundances of chemical species may also be reflected in the bulk composition of the planets \citep[e.g.,][]{Grasset-2009}.
Different chemical abundances in the disk
may result in the formation of planets that have different composition and
structure \citep[][]{Carter-Bond-2012}, something that may even change their
habitability potential \citep[][]{Noack-2014}.
Understanding whether the relative chemical abundances we measure in the photosphere of the host star are
related to the relative bulk composition of its orbiting planet(s) may thus
provide valuable clues for modeling planet structure once precise masses and radii are measured.

Recently, \citet[][]{Dressing-2015} has shown that five known rocky
planets (\object{Kepler-10b}, \object{Kepler-36b}, \object{Kepler-78b}, \object{Kepler-93b}, and \object{CoRoT-7b})
with precise measurements of the mass (relative uncertainties less than 20\%) and radius all seem to fall along the same line in the mass-radius diagram: the area corresponding to an approximately Earth-like composition with a silicate mantle and an iron core of a similar mass fraction. Their best fit-model is comprised of 17\% iron and 83\% silicate mantle (MgSiO3), using a simple two-component interior structure model \citep{Zeng-2013}. {This is within 20\% of the iron mass fractions estimates of Earth, Venus, and Mars with
36\%, 30-36\%, and 23-25\% derived, respectively \citep[][]{Reynolds-1969}, using a comparable model that assumes no iron oxides in the mantle.}
More detailed studies strongly suggest that relative abundances of Fe, Mg, and Si are similar among the Sun, Earth, Mars, Venus, as well as meteorites \citep[e.g.,][]{Lodders-2003,Drake-2002,Lodders-1998,Khan-2008,Sanloup-1999}. Meteorites are believed to be chemically similar to the building blocks of planets \citep[][]{Morgan-1980}, because both are condensates from the solar nebula that experienced the same fractionation processes. In the solar system the Sun's photospheric relative Fe-abundance can thus be used as a proxy for the iron mass fraction for three out of four terrestrial planets. This fraction is in turn a key quantity for the characterization of exoplanets: from measurement of mass and radius alone, the interior composition can only be weakly constrained owing to model degeneracies \citep[][]{Dorn-2015}.

It is thus interesting to see whether for the planets analyzed by \citet[][]{Dressing-2015}, a compositional correlation between the host stars and their planets is possible, suggesting that it may not be restricted to the solar system case. This is predicted by planet formation models that include equilibrium condensation models corresponding to small distances to the host star ($\sim$1 AU). As a consequence, these relative abundances do not vary significantly within a disk, whether spatially and temporally \citep[e.g.,][]{Johnson-2012,Thiabaud-2014}\footnote{For a specific planet it is possible that an external process may have significantly altered its bulk composition like was the case for Mercury.}.  If we find observational evidence that many exoplanets follow a mass-radius relation that agrees with the relative composition in refractories of their host stars, this would mean that we can use stellar composition as a proxy to reduce the degeneracy of possible interior models, more specifically, by coupling structure and composition of core and mantle through bulk abundance ratios \citep[e.g.][]{Dorn-2015}.

With the goal of testing these possibilities, we present a detailed study of the chemical
abundances for three out of five of the planets discussed in \citet[][]{Dressing-2015}:
Kepler-10b, Kepler-93b, and CoRoT-7b. In Sects\,\ref{sec:observations} and \ref{sec:parameters} we present our
data, the derivation of stellar parameters, and chemical abundances. We then discuss the results in Sect.\,\ref{sec:conclusions}.

  \section{Observations and data}                               \label{sec:observations}

Spectra for \object{Kepler-10} and \object{Kepler-93} were obtained from the SOPHIE archive (OHP 1.93-m telescope).
The data was gathered as part of a program to derive masses and confirm the planetary nature of
detected Kepler candidates \citep[e.g.,][]{Santerne-2012}. The spectra cover the range between 3870 and 6940\AA.
{The spectra were obtained using the high resolution mode (HR; R=75\,000) for Kepler-10, and the high efficiency mode (HE; R=40\,000) for Kepler-93.} In both cases Fiber\,B of the spectrograph was
pointed towards a sky region. The spectra were reduced using the SOPHIE pipeline. The sky spectra were
subtracted from the stellar spectrum using the information available in Fiber\,B after correcting for the
efficiency difference between the two fibers.
For Kepler-10 we combined five spectra obtained between 2011 July 7 and 2011 September 9 (other
available spectra had very poor S/N). For Kepler-93 we combined two spectra obtained on the nights
of 2014 March13 and 2014 April 26. The S/N of the final spectra is in the range of 80 and 60
as measured using continuum regions near 6500\AA, respectively.

For Kepler-10 we also gathered spectra obtained using the high resolution (R=115\,000) HARPS-N
spectrograph \citep[][]{Cosentino-2012} -- courtesy of the HARPS-N consortium. We combined a total
of 110 high S/N spectra (S/N>50 in order 50) obtained between 2012 May 25 and 2013 October 18.
The final spectrum has a S/N on the order of 600. A comparison between the results
obtained using the SOPHIE and HARPS-N spectra gives us an idea about the
possible systematic errors between parameters and abundances derived using different
spectra.

As we see below, we have already analyzed an existing HARPS spectrum for CoRoT-7.
We point the reader to \citet[][]{Mortier-2013b} for further details.

  \section{Stellar parameters and abundances}                           \label{sec:parameters}

Stellar parameters for Kepler-10 (independently {derived from} the SOPHIE and HARPS-N spectra) and Kepler-93 were derived
in LTE, using a grid of plane-parallel, ATLAS9
model atmospheres \citep[][]{Kurucz-1993} and
the radiative transfer code MOOG
\citep[][]{Sneden-1973}. The methodology used is
described in detail in \citet[][]{Sousa-2011}. The full spectroscopic
analysis is based on the equivalent widths (EWs) of $\sim$250 Fe~{\sc i}
and 40 Fe~{\sc ii} weak lines by imposing ionization
and excitation equilibrium.
Parameters for CoRoT-7 have already been derived by our team (using the same tools
and methods) from
a high resolution, high S/N HARPS spectrum \citep[][]{Mortier-2013b}.

For FGK dwarfs the effective temperatures obtained
using this methodology were shown to be compatible
with estimates from recent applications of the
infrared flux method \citep[see, e.g.,][]{Santos-2013}.
Possible errors in the derived (always more uncertain) $\log{g}$ have little or no influence on the abundances of individual
species as derived from atomic (non-ionized) lines.

{The derived parameters for the three stars are listed in Table\,\ref{tab:param},
where we also list literature values for comparison.
It is interesting that the parameters and abundances derived for
Kepler-10 using the two spectra are similar despite the lower
S/N and resolution of the SOPHIE data. }

\subsection{Chemical abundances: Si, Mg, C, and O

The abundances of magnesium (Mg) and silicon (Si) were derived for the three stars following the same methodology as in our previous works \citep[e.g.,][]{Adibekyan-2012,Adibekyan-2015}.
We used a LTE analysis relative to the Sun with the 2014 version of the code MOOG \citep[][]{Sneden-1973} and a grid of Kurucz ATLAS9 plane-parallel model
atmospheres with no $\alpha$-enhancement.
For the EW measurements, we used ARES2 \citep{Sousa-2015}, for which the input parameters were the same as in \citet{Sousa-2011}.
A visual inspection was done to confirm the reliability of the ARES2 measurements.

The abundances for each star and element were calculated from the average of the values provided by all measured lines
(3 lines for Mg and 16 lines for Si). A two-sigma clipping cut was performed to remove outliers.
Errors in the abundances of the elements [X/H] were evaluated adding quadratically the line-to-line scatter errors and errors
induced by uncertainties in the model atmosphere parameters \citep[see, e.g.,][]{Adibekyan-2012}.
The final abundances of Mg and Si are presented in Table\,\ref{tab:param}.
For CoRoT-7, abundances for Mg and Si perfectly match the ones derived in \citet[][]{Mortier-2013b} using an older version of
MOOG.

Carbon (C) and oxygen (O) abundances were derived with the same tools as Mg and Si
but measuring the EWs of the lines with the task \textit{splot} in IRAF.
Atomic data for the O lines and for the Ni line-blend affecting the oxygen forbidden line
at 6300$\AA$ were taken from \citet[][]{BertrandeLis-2015}. The data for the atomic carbon lines was taken from
the VALD3 database\footnote{\url{http://vald.astro.univie.ac.at/~vald3/php/vald.php}}.

The final abundances derived using each individual line are shown in Table\,\ref{tab:CO}. The errors for the
abundances are mainly due to the uncertainties in the position of the continuum. {In the error estimate, we also considered the
sensitivity of the C and O abundances due to the error in the atmospheric parameters, adding all terms quadratically as done for Mg and Si.}
The error caused by the continuum placement was estimated by recalculating the abundance using different continuum
positions as measured by hand.
{Unfortunately, the S/N of the SOPHIE spectra is not high enough to allow us to measure the weak oxygen lines. Furthermore, the HARPS-N spectra for Kepler-10 shows telluric contamination in the region of the oxygen forbidden line. For CoRoT-7 the oxygen line at 6158\AA\ is too weak. Therefore we could only derive C/O ratios for Kepler-10 and CoRoT-7, based on a single oxygen indicator each.}

For reference, the solar values are also shown Table\,\ref{tab:CO}. While the carbon abundance in the Sun is well defined
using the \ion{C}{I} atomic lines, the oxygen abundance is more uncertain, and the {different indicators (lines) provide different values} \citep[see discussion in][]{BertrandeLis-2015}. Therefore, in Table\,\ref{tab:CO} we give the oxygen abundance values individually.
The [C/O] ratio is also computed using the corresponding solar abundance, depending on which oxygen line we could use.

\section{Discussion and conclusions}
\label{sec:conclusions}

In Fig.~\ref{si_mg_fe} we show the position of the stars in the [Mg/Si] - [Fe/Si] plane. The plot shows that
while Kepler-93 and CoRoT-7 do not seem to have significantly different abundance
ratios than the Sun, the situation for Kepler-10 seems different. Both the abundances derived from the SOPHIE
and HARPS-N spectra suggest that the star has a [Fe/Si] below solar ($-$0.08/$-$0.05 from HARPS-N and SOPHIE data, respectively).
The [Mg/Si] ratio observed in Kepler\,10 also seems to be above solar (0.08/0.06 from HARPS-N and SOPHIE data, respectively).
In this sense it is interesting to see that both sets of spectra provide very similar results, even if the whole analysis was
done in a fully independent way.
It is worth noting that since the model changes (variation in stellar parameters) induce similar effects in the abundances of these refractory elements
(they partially cancel out when computing the ratios [X1/X2]), our reported errors are likely conservative.

For Kepler-10 we find evidence for abundance ratios that are significantly different from solar,
though the differences are not higher than $\sim$0.1\,dex.
{For CoRoT-7 and Kepler-93, on the other hand, the abundance ratios seem to be very similar to solar.}
Following the galactic chemical evolution trends \citep[][]{Bensby-2005,Adibekyan-2012b}, we could expect that stars with
[Fe/H] below solar should on average present [Si/Fe] abundances that are slightly above solar
(i.e., [Fe/Si] ratios below solar), though perfectly allow the opposite trend given the observed dispersions.

Concerning C and O, we first note that the carbon abundances for Kepler-10, as derived from different spectra (HARPS-N and SOPHIE), agree well within the errors.
The [C/O] ratio for this star seems to be subsolar. This is expected since oxygen, as a pure $\alpha$-element, grows more rapidly
than carbon as a function of [Fe/H], for [Fe/H] $<$ 0 \citep[e.g.,][]{BertrandeLis-2015,Bensby-2005}. In any case, the
observed [C/O] ratio values are not expected to have a significant impact on the bulk composition of the planet \citep[][]{Bond-2010,Delgado-Mena-2010}
when compared to a solar ratio.

On the other hand, for CoRoT-7 we could expect a [C/O] ratio that is more similar to the solar value
owing to its more similar metallicity. However, its elevated oxygen abundance yields a lower [C/O] ratio. Although the determination of oxygen abundances can often be problematic for cooler
stars such as CoRoT-7, in this case the quality of the spectrum
allowed us to measure the EW of the forbidden line perfectly, and the spectrum does not seem to show telluric contamination
in the region (which could produce an artificial enhanced oxygen abundance). We note that the high error of [C/O] for
this star precludes firm conclusions.

Whether the observed compositional differences are relevant when modeling the interior structure of the exoplanets is the next obvious question to answer.
In particular, we want to know whether the interiors structure of the planets presented by \citet[][]{Dressing-2015} can be explained when using the specific stellar abundances as proxies for the planet bulk compositions. Given the large uncertainties on mass and radius, as well as on the abundances, we suppose that (1) this is likely the case and (2) the single model of an Earth-like iron-core mass fraction as used by \citet[][]{Dressing-2015} lies within the generally wide range of possible interior models.
A detailed  analysis of this including a full error analysis will be presented in future theoretical work. Here we only make first simple considerations regarding the relative expected abundances of the most important rock-forming elements and, in particular, of iron.

We only have abundances of Fe, Si, Mg, O, and C. However, these rocky-forming elements, together with H and He, are the most relevant ones for controlling the species expected from equilibrium condensation models, \citep{Lodders-2003,Seager-2007}, namely H$_{2}$, He, CH$_{4}$, H$_{2}$O, Fe, MgSiO$_{3}$, and Mg$_{2}$SiO$_{4}$ (All stars have N$_{\rm Mg}>N_{\rm Si}$). A simplified model for the expected mass fractions of different compounds using these species is thus a reasonable approach. In this chemical network, the molecular abundances and therefore the mass fraction can be found from the atomic abundances with simple stoichometry:
\vspace{-0.15truecm}
\begin{eqnarray}
N_{\rm O}&=&N_{\rm H_2O}+3 N_{\rm MgSiO_3}+4 N_{\rm Mg_2SiO_4}\\[-0.1truecm]
N_{\rm Mg}&=&N_{\rm MgSiO_3}+2  N_{\rm Mg_2SiO_4}\\[-0.1truecm]
N_{\rm Si}&=&N_{\rm MgSiO_3}+  N_{\rm Mg_2SiO_4}
.\end{eqnarray}
Similar equations hold for the other species. This way we calculated the expected mass fractions, in particular $f_{\rm iron}$, for the three stars analyzed in this paper. Table\,\ref{tab:massfract} shows the result in terms of mass fractions $m_{\rm X}$ of the five heavy element species  (in percentage points), the total mass fraction of heavy elements $Z$, and finally the iron mass fraction among the refractory elements, which is the key result.
In the table we also showed, for comparison, the results with our basic chemistry model for the Sun using the solar composition of \citet{Asplund-2009}. The table also contains the condensate abundances derived  by \citet{Lodders-2003} (her Table 11, photospheric values) with a full condensation model that includes a much higher number of species. Kepler-93 (K-93) has no oxygen measurement. We assumed a solar oxygen abundance for this star. This is a good assumption given the expected oxygen-to-iron ratio for stars with such metallicity \citep[e.g.,][]{BertrandeLis-2015}. {Error bars were derived as explained in Appendix\,\ref{sec:errors}.}

The table shows that owing to the approximately scaled solar composition of CoRoT-7 (C-7) and Kepler-93 (under the assumption of solar $N_{\rm O}$), their $f_{\rm iron}$ is very similar to the one of the Sun (32-35\%). Only for Kepler-10 (K-10), which is more depleted in Fe than in Mg and Si relative to the Sun, do we see a slightly lower $f_{\rm iron}=27.5$\% (and higher H$_2$O), as expected. Curiously, both Kepler-10b and Kepler-10c seem to be ``oversized'' in the mass-radius diagram of \citet[][]{Dressing-2015} when compared to the Earth composition model. In any case, we find that for the three planets analyzed by \citet[][]{Dressing-2015}, the iron mass fraction inferred from the mass-radius relationship ($\sim$17\%) is on a $\sim$10\%-20\% level, in agreement with the iron abundance derived here from the host star photospheric composition, {and in even better agreement with the mass fraction ($\sim$29\%-32\%) expected from more detailed models of solar system planets \citep[for the Earth see, e.g.,][]{McDounough-1995}}. If confirmed, this interesting result doubles the number of rocky planets (including the solar system's) where the mass of the iron core can be estimated if the stellar composition is known, and brings it to six out of seven rocky planets where such an inference can be made (the exception is Mercury). As discussed in the introduction, this is important for reducing the compositional degeneracy of planet interiors \citep{Dorn-2015} and for constraining impact events.

A much more detailed analysis that combines host star abundances, mass and radius measurements, and internal structure calculations should be done in future work, taking all the associated measurement and model uncertainties into account. If the agreement of the planetary core mass (derived from the $M-R$ relationship) and the stellar photospheric abundances found here is confirmed and extended to additional planets, this would allow a better characterization of exoplanet interiors, even if a significantly different composition (as for Mercury) cannot be excluded a priori for an individual planet. This shows that a detailed chemical analysis of exoplanet hosts is important not only for the architecture of a planetary system, but also for the interior structure, composition, and potential habitability of individual planets.
The detailed characterization of planets discovered and characterized by future space missions such as TESS, CHEOPS, and PLATO-2.0 will certainly gain from this analysis.

Throughout this period of time, some people say these were the golden years of Germany, which is highly debated but most agree that Germany was getting better. The main reason for that is because even after everything: unemployment was still high, agricultural production never recovered and Germans spent more money on imports than on exports, so they were consistently losing money. But it overcame almost impossible challenges presented: two coups, hyperinflation and political instability. It finally seemed everything was going to be okay. Many people contributed to this cause but Gustav Stresemann played the main role. He worked as chancellor and as foreign minister throughout the 1920s, most people say that he was arguably the best statesman of Weimar Republic. He was the main reason for the restoration of Germany's international status after the war. His work was then awarded a Nobel prize for peace in 1926 after Germany was invited to join the League of Nations. So without a doubt that he was one of the most significant people in Germany in the period of 1923-1929.
From the early years of political career, he was a nationalist and monarchist. ADD MORE. His views would always differ from his political party or he just did not like the party's program and approach. Thus, with some of his colleagues, he left the German Democratic party and created his own party, the German peoples' party. His views were further extended, after the loss in world war 1 and the creation of the Treaty of Versailles. He saw the treaty as an economic death sentence, he knew that Germany would not be able to pay off its debts while being stripped out of its resources and ways to create wealth. However, in the early 1920s his ideology changed he got a more practical view of the problem: he realised that economic recovery was impossible without the help of other nations. This sudden change in attitude was because of the occupation of Ruhr(more on this later explained). He saw that the allies would take action if Germany was to disobey the Treaty of Versailles, which would destroy the already damaged nation.
One of the biggest problems he solved and was responsible for his major change in his way of thinking was the occupation of Ruhr, this was when Germany could not pay the reparations. The French thought that they were lying and was just trying to avoid payment while also testing the allies to see if they could take decisive action. And so the allies replied by force. This caused a disaster in Germany: people were killed, expelled from their homes, inflation turning into hyperinflation(caused by the government printing money to rehouse the expelled citizens). When he became chancellor, he put his position in the risk by cancelling the passive resistance in Ruhr. He knew that he would lose a lot of supporters but he did it for the country, that's why he was the most significant person at that time- no one else was willing to sacrifice themselves, even though they knew that there was no other way. After that people started working again this helped the economy to stabilize. And as expected many people disliked Stresemann's decision because they thought that Germany was giving in to and accepting the Versailles Treaty, which was extremely hated amongst the Germans. This resulted in Stresemann to resign from his position when the Social Democratic party left from his coalition- who played the main role in the decision to set passive resistance in Ruhr.
After his resignation, he became the foreign minister. He intended to create a good relationship with other nations, by showing that Germany was not a threat and had no interest in war. His first move was the Locarno treaty, this was the seven agreements negotiated at Locarno, Switzerland. Most importantly, Germany accepted the new western borders made by the treaty of Versailles, and Britain and Italy agreed to intervene if Germany's western borders were to be attacked. From this western Europe saw sudden improvement in the political climate calling it the spirit of Locarno and this was further strengthened by Germany joining the league, right after. Though to the allies, he seemed to want peace but he secretly showed signs of nationalism- he hated Poland and Czechoslovakia. He was hoping that if Germany's western borders were secure, there might not be any opposition when moves to take back lost territory comes into play. Thus, at Locarno, he refused to give any guarantees to Germany's eastern border. Locarno and the cancellation of the passive resistance in Ruhr Gustav Stresemann achieved his policy of fulfilment, where he aimed to improve international status by fulfilling the Treaty of Versailles. He thought that he could revise the treaty. Even though he was nationalist he did not want to use force but wanted to change it so that it was at the least acceptable. The reason for this is that he saw the destruction of the treaty impossible, after the occupation of Ruhr, he believed that the allies would use force if necessary.
After seeing Germans trying to improve their international status and the inability to pay the incredible large sum of reparations the allies agreed to help. An American banker Charles G. Dawes was asked by the allied reparation committee for help, thus he came up with this plan. The main goal was to pull the Weimar Republic out of hyperinflation and to return it to economic stability. The first measure was to set an annual payment of reparation on a set scale, then the reorganization of the German state bank under their control and an increase in international loans. Most people say that this help was brought by Gustav Stresemann's influence, but some say that the allies were just threatened by Soviet Russia. If Germany was to collapse, they knew that a revolution would take place and a communist government would be in control. This, in turn, might spread communism throughout Europe. So Germany's well being was important for the allies. We can not make a real deduction from this and show Stresemann's significance in the Dawes plan.
After all this Germany looked as if it would return to its stability, peoples lives were getting better so people like Hitler and Communists could not rise to power, these parties fed on people's anger and frustration. Meaning that without Gustav Stresemann's actions Germany would have been in a serious problem. Monarchists like Hitler would have overthrown the Weimar Government long ago because they thought that the coalition government was an ineffective form of ruling as they cant make decisive action in times of crisis. Especially since a lot of Germans supported the old ways of fascism. So Hitler would have risen to power sooner than he actually did in history and most likely been prepared more to the next world war. This could have led to him winning the war and him accomplishing genocide throughout the world. Or communists taking over, which would lead to communism spreading throughout the world, this is called the domino effect. This is a theory that states if one country falls into a communist the surrounding neighbour countries will follow the same fate. This is why the allies decided to help Germany out of hyperinflation by Dawes plan and Young plan. However, this is not very likely since a lot of Germans hated communism and there were even groups like Freikorps, who were ex-military soldiers who had strong distaste against communists- especially the soviet union.
The main problems that Gustav Stresemann caused were that he made Germany to dependant on international help. So when the great depression hit, Germany was affected the most because all the loans they took were asked back. The most heavily affected sector of German industry, they were too dependant on USA loans that when they were asked back they could not work properly. This set back every achievement the Weimar Republic achieved during the 1920s, which made everything Gustav Stresemann achieved virtually useless.

Tanovic, O., Ma, R., Teo, K.H., "Simultaneous Power Encoding and Upconversion for All-Digital Transmitters Using Digital PWM", IEEE Asia Pacific Microwave Conference, DOI: 10.1109/APMC.2017.8251579, November 2017.
Pulse-width modulation (PWM) has recently become very popular power coding method in all-digital transmitter (ADT) architectures, which employ switch-mode power amplifiers (SMPA) for high power efficiency. Main drawback of PWM is high level of in-band harmonic distortion when digitally implemented, which limits its usage in transceivers realized for software defined radio. Furthermore, upconversion to RF frequency in such ADT systems is commonly done in digital domain. This introduces additional design difficulties, since significant amount of out-of-band harmonic noise, originating from PWM power encoding process, gets folded back into the input signal frequency band, further increasing the total in-band distortion. This paper presents a novel method for simultaneous multilevel power encoding and upconversion to RF frequency, by the means of a delta-sigma M hybrid architecture. It fully exploits time-domain characterization of multilevel carrier-based digital PWM, to both provide optimal parameter selection for delta-sigma M (which gives truly aliasing-free digital PWM), and to utilize harmonic nature of the PWM output for upconversion to digital RF frequency. Experiments with an arbitrary waveform generator are used to demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed novel power encoding scheme. The novel algorithm uses 3-level digital PWM and offers in-band SNR of more than -40dB.


Governments' attempts to buy out the labour movement is nothing new really, just on this occasion there is an out and out $15M. carrot. Throughout the history of our Labour Movement, various strategies have been employed by the Political Parties aimed at compromising and weakening organized Labour in recognition of its potential strength.
In the early days of the PNM, Dr. Williams in order to influence the popular vote in his party's favour, openly embraced and encouraged unions and their activities. In this regard when Telephone Workers in the then privately owned Telephone Company went on strike in the early 1960's, Dr. Williams when called upon to intervene, stated quite bluntly 'Let the workers strike'. This struck a note with the workers and was reflected in subsequent polls.
From then on with the nationalising of the Telephone Company, Telco and the then Communication Workers Union became a virtual PNM party group, with the then (since deceased) leader of the Union Carl Tull being appointed a PNM Government Senator.
The Doc, master strategist as he was, succeeded in winning over the non-sugarcane Unions to the side of the PNM and so-called Union leaders were rewarded by Senatorial appointments, placement on state boards and sent off as Labour Attaches to varying diplomatic missions abroad.
In 1965 the PNM-controlled Labour Movement was split down the middle when Dr. Williams introduced the Industrial Stabilisation Act and the Industrial Court at the behest of foreign (American) companies invited to set up screw driver industries in T&T. It was the infamous Industrialization by Invitation phase which of course was a disaster.
It was the late President General George Weekes and the powerful OWTU, who broke away from the PNM and along with other Unions like the Transport and Industrial Workers Union (TIWU), formed the Council of Progressive Trade Unions, a split in the labour movement which continues to this very day.
Nothing has really changed since those early days. All Governments in office have utilised every means at their disposal to ensure that the movement remains divided, with many compliant Union leaders settling for crumbs off the table i.e. board appointments, senatorial appointments etc.
In more recent times, the ill-fated Fyzabad Accord (pact with the UNC) and the pre-election 'Understanding' with the PNM is a sad reflection of the lack of self belief by the poor crop of current union 'leaders' and an indication of the strength of the PRIVATELY FINANCED Political Parties, as they step up their common agenda of emasculating the Labour Movement. Whether be it $15M., Board/Senatorial appointments etc, it means one thing, namely: bought and paid for and of course to be sold without notice.
