Main aims
Two or three times a year Nuclear Valley organises a Members' Day. The days usually include a tour of an industrial site and presentations on a given theme.
Summaries of the last three Members' Days :
Nuclear Valley members visit DCNS Nantes – Indret
On the 7th November, Nuclear Valley organised the 19th Members' Day on the DCNS Nantes – Indret site.
Nuclear Valley members first of all met for dinner on the 6th, which enabled them to exchange news and information concerning the nuclear sector.
On the Thursday morning, the members travelled to the company DCNS located in Indret near Nantes in the Loire-Atlantique area. This site is specialised in the design and integration of nuclear reactors in submarines and surface vessels.
During the morning, several top managers of DCNS Nantes-Indret gave presentations of the company's activities likely to directly interest the representatives of France's nuclear civil industry. Eric Papin, Directeur Technique Ingénierie et Innovation, first of all provided news about the Barracuda nuclear-powered attack submarine program and the nuclear civil industry. Pierre-Yves Le Boul'ch, Director of CESMAN (Centre d'Etudes des Structures et Matériaux Navals) spoke about R&D and the centres of expertise. Later, François-Xavier Briffod gave a presentation on the Flexblue project, a submerged SMR for which he is responsible for Operations and Institutional Relationships.
The PNB used part of the morning for its own news, especially international subjects. Indeed, several countries, such as Russia, are looking to develop partnerships with French structures in order to make progress with nuclear civil export projects. Also, the launch of the WNE (World Nuclear Exhibition), the first international nuclear trade fair in France will be announced on the 12th November.
CESMAN – DCNS
The afternoon was dedicated to visiting the DCNS installations. First of all, the members were able to visit the manufacturing workshops and in particular those areas concerning machining, nuclear assembly and boilermaking. The group then moved on to the CESMAN centre of expertise for materials which is responsible for metallography, mechanical testing, non destructive testing and chemical research.
Once more, the day allowed representatives of the French nuclear civil industry to meet and exchange news and points of view while at the same time learning about the installations of one of their colleagues.
June 2013 – 18th PNB Members' Day at ANDRA
For its 18th Members' Day Nuclear Valley organised a trip to the ANDRA site at Soulaines-Dhuys in the Aube department on the 19th and 20th June. The evening of the 19th was an opportunity for the members to catch up on news concerning the cluster, to share opinions on international markets and enjoy a convivial meal whilst holding more business-like discussions.
The morning of the following day, the representatives of 50 Nuclear Valley companies attended a series of presentations given by ANDRA concerning the industrial and R&D activities of the Aube sites related to Nuclear Valley's Strategic Business Units (both existing and planned e.g. CIGEO). The tour of the Aube storage facility in Soulaines-Dhuys allowed them to better comprehend some of the issues facing ANDRA.
ANDRA's main areas of research and development: competitive technologies for sustainable development
ANDRA's R&D is centred on four areas: characterisation and sorting of waste and materials "in situ" (Simulation & Measurement); recycling in the nuclear industry of VLL metallic or concrete waste; future containers and containers optimized for multi-sector use; as well as the treatment of low and intermediate level radioactive waste without a dedicated process, the storage of which can be optimized by prior treatment.
Based on these themes, which relate to as many industrial and social challenges, ANDRA plans to launch an invitation for projects – in partnership with ANR – before end 2013.
The objective is to finance applied R&D, with industrial implementation in the coming 10 years and to finance R&D projects much higher upstream, with the aim of generating, in the end, situations resulting in technological rupture.
Multiple stakeholders will be involved, depending on the objectives: SMEs, producers of radioactive waste and independent R&D facilities on the one hand, the academic community and other concerned stakeholders on the other.
The terms of the invitation for projects will, of course, be reported in detail by the PNB – once they have been finalized by ANDRA.
The storage facility for low level waste in the Aube
The centre is located in the municipality of Soulaines-Dhuys and covers 95 hectares, of which 30 are dedicated to storage. Until the end of 1994, LMLW-SL waste was kept at the Manche storage centre. Drawing on the experience acquired on the site over a quarter of a century, ANDRA has perfected the storage technique including the definition of the multi-barrier system which is composed of the container, the storage structure and the geological context.
The waste stored at the CSA is contained in concrete or metallic blocks. The blocks are placed in reinforced concrete structures, 25 meters long by 8 in height, built as and when needed, with a maximum total capacity of 1 million m3. Used storage space is currently at 27% of capacity. Once filled, the structures are sealed with a concrete slab incorporating an impermeable liner.
Finally, a covering of clay will be laid over the structures to ensure long term confinement of the waste. Monitoring of the site will last for at least 300 years.
January 2013 – 17th PNB Members' Day at Creys-Malville
The two themes of the 17th Nuclear Valley Members' Day were: dismantling, and extension of Nuclear Valley to include the Rhône-Alpes region. The PNB delegation was met by Véronique Bouilly, the site manager.
Superphénix was the first industrial scale FBR (Fast Breeder Reactor) and the symbol of French knowhow in this field. With a capacity of 1 240 MW, it was operated by EDF for 11 years before being decommissioned in 1998.
Today, 53% of the dismantling operations have been completed by 90 EDF employees and about 400 people from specialized companies. The principal phases remaining in the deconstruction of Superphénix include the CSA ('Post-Fukushima Complementary Safety Assessments) are:
2009-2015: treatment of sodium and dismantling of equipment and major components inside the Reactor Building (RB).
2013-2017: dismantling of steam generators outside the RB.
2015-2024: dismantling of the reactor vessel.
2024-2028: demolition of buildings and grassing over of the site.
The deconstruction of Superphénix will produce nearly 518 000 tons of waste.
During the presentation, the members were able to appreciate the extent of the works by visiting the reactor building, the sodium treatment installation and the control room.
The main deconstruction operations – currently underway – concern the extraction of the primary sodium (nearly completed), most of the major components having already been dismantled (such as the turbine building).
The primary sodium, contained in the reactor vessel is maintained at a temperature of 180°C by electric heating elements.
It is gradually emptied by an electromagnetic pump. Special draining tools, developed specifically for the site, have been placed inside the reactor vessel.
The secondary sodium is stored in a solid state in tanks at the base of each steam generator. It is liquefied so it can be transferred to the sodium chemical treatment installation designed for the treatment of the 5 500 tons of liquid sodium extracted from the vessel and secondary circuits.
The hydrolysis process transforms the sodium into sodium hydroxide (a stable compound) at the rate of 5 tons per day. The sodium hydroxide is then mixed with cement to form concrete blocks which are, for the moment, kept on-site.
In the afternoon, Alain Ensuque, Director of EDF CIDEN (Centre d'Ingénierie, de Déconstruction et Environnement) gave a presentation on the current status of 9 deconstruction sites (Brennilis; Bugey 1; Chinon A1, A2 and A3; Chooz A; Creys-Malville; St-Laurent A1 and A2) where work is on-going and managed by EDF. On average, 34% of the dismantling work has been completed on these sites. Financing is covered by EDF with provisions of about 1.7 billion euros at end 2012 for the 9 reactors and nearly 20 billion euros at end 2012 for the in-service reactors in France.
The CIDEN/SEPTEM procurement team described in detail the qualification process for EDF subcontractors (necessary requirements, skills / trades, selection criteria etc.), and gave several examples related to dismantling.
At the end of the day the snow had stopped falling which gave much improved conditions for the return trip.

June 13, 2017 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – Husqvarna Motorcycles are proud to unveil the new 2018 Husqvarna FS 450 – an updated supermoto machine that successfully carries Husqvarna's World Championship winning pedigree into a new era. Remaining committed to innovative product development, Husqvarna Motorcycles' engineers have focused their attention on introducing further advances in engine performance, together with a fresh design that remains true to the brand's Swedish heritage.
Featuring high-tech components that have been successfully tested on tracks all-around the world, the new FS 450 offers unmatched performance ensuring that all supermoto riders will have the ideal machinery to achieve their competition goals.
Embodying the pure essence of supermoto, the new FS 450 matches clean and functional design with outstanding performance from the single-cylinder SOHC engine. The updated MY18 engine receives an all-new slipper clutch developed by Swiss specialist Suter Industries. Preventing instability and hopping when braking hard into a turn, the clutch ensures maximum control for perfect supermoto-style drifting.
To further modify the updated engine's characteristics, the FS 450 features a handlebar map switch. Optimised for easy operation, the map switch also activates the launch control feature. By limiting the amount of power to the rear wheel, the system improves traction and prevents loss of control under hard acceleration. Working together to ensure maximum performance are a 44 mm Keihin throttle body, an exhaust system with inbuilt resonance chamber and a precise 5-speed gearbox.
The updated engine is housed inside a hydro-formed, laser-cut and robot-welded steel frame that has been specifically designed by WP Performance Systems with calculated parameters of longitudinal and torsional flex. Unique to Husqvarna models, the composite subframe is made of 30% carbon fibre making it remarkably light and particularly strong.
Designed with inlet ducts positioned precisely to prevent air deformation, the airbox ensures maximum airflow and maximum filter protection. The air filter is easily accessed, without tools, by removing the left side panel. Easy maintenance is guaranteed by the Twin Air filter and filter cage design that features a simple fail proof mounting system for accurate installation.
Using top-level supermoto competition as a base for further development, the FS 450 is equipped with a set of black 16.5" and 17" Alpina spoked wheels for front and rear. The high-quality wheels are matched with Bridgestone 125/80 R420 and 165/65 R420 slick tyres for maximum grip, traction and agility. Manufactured to exacting standards, the ProTaper handlebars are second to none for function and style. Featuring class-leading fatigue resistance it comes with its ProTaper logos chemically applied and scratch and peel resistant. Exceptional stopping power is guaranteed by Brembo brakes, featuring a 310 mm front disc with a 4-piston radially mounted caliper for the front and a 220 mm disc for the rear wheels.
The FS 450 gains a renewed look for model year 2018 with a new graphics design, together with an extra grip seat cover. Complementing these changes, the FS 450 is further enhanced by a full range of clothing and accessories.
The new Husqvarna MY18 FS 450 machine will be available worldwide from July 2017 at all authorised Husqvarna Motorcycles Dealers.
For all details on pricing and availability, please refer to your national Husqvarna Motorcycles Subsidiary or Importer.

Re: Swindon's new monument to itself...
help an old lady out....Did I read some where that one of the first things to be shown on this brilliant tv screen is BALLET? Please tell me it isn't so. I can see it now. Women one side looking for the size of the nut cracker suite and men and boys on the other attempting to look up tutu's.....me in the middle tutting, saying eat some food instead of toilet paper. I know it's supposed to be culture and inspire, but who's the role model in ballet? WAYNE SLEEP

Yes you are quite right ballet and other artistic items will be featured. The council can the guage from the amount of people that regularly watch if a concert hall would be a viable proposition for Swindon. Drunks, dossers and yobs that frequent the area could also be included in any survey.
I can't wait to watch life imitating life!
Oops too much Sonategon....I meant to say Life imitating Art.
It was on today.
Not ballet though.
oh well, can't have everything. I just wanted to watch the drunks trying to prance about....

Gosh, shock, horror, surely this can't be true?
I did chuckle at this bit: a large group of youths were seen riding their bikes all over the new benches and into the freshly painted walls.
Into the freshly painted walls , is this the latest Swindon youth craze, hit the wall of death with Swindon Suicide Freestylers. Bless their little cotton socks. ;)
http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/swindonletters/display.var.2299557.0.letter_from_nick_beaumontjones.php
Letter from Nick Beaumont-Jones todays Adver:
WHAT a wonderful new amenity the New Swindon Company and the council have created in Wharf Green. Although the cost was high there is not doubt about its value for money when one sees the improvement to the streetscape and the opportunity for high quality community activities to be held there.
What a great shame that there appears to be no management regime in place to protect the area from vandals, litter louts and other undesirables. Last night a large group of youths were seen riding their bikes all over the new benches and into the freshly painted walls. The damage they caused to the benches was considerable and added to that already caused by skateboarders only the week after the area was formally opened. Calls to the police to deal with the vandals fell on deaf ears.
This morning litter is strewn over the area (some only a few inches from the new, and already badly stained, litter bins), a vagrant was sleeping on one of the benches, plants have been pulled out of the landscaped area, the new York stone paving is splashed with stains and Wharf Green was beginning to slip back into its old, sad ways.
Come on Swindon. We all know there is a massive amount of pride in the town. Let's make Wharf Green the first step towards showing our visitors that we can be a quality destination and not the town that time forgot.

komadori
Before living in Swindon I lived in Harlow. In Harlow, as in Swindon, people either had 'massive pride in the town' or a strong feeling that it was rubbish, with very few having a view that it was an okay, average place. What seems to differentiate Swindon from Harlow is that in Harlow people had pride in the town for what it is (a post-war New Town, with all the architectural and town planning oddities that come with that) whereas in Swindon the pride is in what the town was (a railway town) rather than in what it became (a post-war London overspill town). It's almost as though people wish that the estates in North-east and south-east Swindon didn't exist, whereas in Harlow developments, though not exactly celebrated, are recognised as being a part of what the town is. Everytime I read a comment like Mr Beaumont-Jones' about Swindon becoming a 'quality destination' its like reading a request to obiliterate Swindon's economic basis as an industrial and commercial town.
Industrial or commercial centres tend to be neither pretty nor tourist magnets. There's nothing wrong with that, and its about time people started to be proud of what we've got and can achieve based on that, rather than wishing to be something prettier but ultimately less viable.
(Apologies for a rather random rant written after spending the evening in the pub.)

Yes - Get the martial arts chap as the elected mayor. He will then kick some ass!!
concerned_of_Old_Town
I was excited when the proposal for TV was announced as thought just the thing which could kick start the re-generation but case of reality not matching the vision.
I was looking at the whole area on Saturday and concluded that even the Chavs are boycotting it (even though there was some fair ground ride there). The thing what really got me was the flower/tree bed to the left of the screen is severely overgrown with weeds and is a right state (only six months old) and seems to reflect the lack of pride the re-generation and stagnation has caused.
Doh... Poor old swindon... I seems that what ever's attempted always gets mired by the grim (or is that twin?) realities of ecenomics and an agressively proletarian population... No project is ever going to succeed if it doesn't recognise those two issues.
The world's first Public Space Broadcasting screen in Manchester 's Exchange Square was launched as an experiment in 2003. Having proved itself to be a powerful magnet for urban regeneration and animation for the city's public space, the model has now been rolled out in loads of other towns and cities including Birmingham, Liverpool, Hull, Leeds, Rotherham, Bradford, Swindon and Derby.
S'magnet, powerful one too. Stand by for regeneration and animation.
Moneyspinner for the BBC and Philips, website and everything.
I just thought I'd disinter this old thread from six years ago to ask... Has anyone actually WATCHED anything on the Big Screen? I mean, instead of glancing at it as they walked past (though why anyone would even be in Wharf 'Green' to begin with is the first mystery)... Perhaps you were bored whilst waiting for your significant other to get a new washing line from Argos, or maybe you were waiting for your McDonalds icecream milkshake to melt down enough to slurp up your straw...?
The reason I ask, is that I read this piece in The Adver, and once again I'm left pondering the point of our digital White Elephant. With so much being cut at the moment, how much has this thing cost us over the years, how much does it continue to cost us, and, frankly, what purpose does it serve if it doesn't actually ever screen anything of any real community interest? I know there's some 'worthy' stuff on their every-so-often, but I hardly think those things are meeting either a mass audience or are being delivered in a particularly effective manner.
Am I alone in feeling more than a little cynical...?
http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/10983884.Big_screen_switch_off/
IT WAS announced yesterday that no matches from the World Cup will be shown on the big screen in Wharf Green this summer.
The decision has been made to both prevent trouble as well as help pubs in the town centre which will be showing the games.
The World Cup is due to be held in Brazil from June 12 until July 13, with interest from fans set to be high.
However, the decision has been taken that no match, regardless of which team is playing or kick-off time, will be shown and talks are still ongoing as to whether either the opening or closing ceremony will be shown.
InSwindon is the company responsible for controlling the screen and says as its funding comes from businesses in the town centre, it is important they are not seen to undermine them.


A variety of farmers, ranchers, food purveyors, and bakers bring to these California certified outdoor markets fresh seasonal produce, honey, nuts, freshly baked breads and pastries, free range eggs, prepared foods, homemade products, flowers, nursery stock and more. There are 5 county markets - most run all year rain or shine: The Ventura city markets run on Wednesdays from 9 am until 1 pm at the Pacific View Mall (H 101 Exit E Main Street), and on Saturdays from 8:30 am until noon at the City Parking Lot at Santa Clara and Palm Streets (H 101 Exit 70A). The Santa Clarita market is held at the College of the Canyons at Valencia Blvd and Rockwell Cyn Road (I 5 Exit 169) in parking lot #8 from 8:30 am to noon.

So, I can at least take solace in the fact meeting Kate's parents can't be quite that bad. I just wish it wasn't going to be so immersive - rather than just having them come into town for dinner one night, we're going to be spending the whole weekend at their place on the Cape before coming back to Boston en masse for Monday night's game. Hopefully that means we'll at least have some common topic of conversation.
I don't think Kate has told them the full story about me yet. Yeah, she talks like she has, but I'm not so sure. She was talking to them on the phone the other night, and I don't think she used a single pronoun. There's also a slight difference between the way people say "Marty" and the way they say "Marti" - the pause between syllables is a little longer in the latter, and it comes in a slightly different place. I think it's because "Mart-y" is short for "Mart-in" and "Mar-ti" is short for "Mar-ti-na". It's a ridiculously minor thing, but it's something I'm either more sensitive to or oversensitive to. One or the other.
I'd rather not be ambushing them, but when you get right down to it, is "Marty's a girl" a bigger ambush than "Marti has the mind of a man because some mad scientist type switched the contents of their brains?" Probably not, although the two together are a heck probably going to be a heck of a whammy.
On the plus side, it will at least alleviate the overcrowding at my place for a few days. Amy's been crashing on our couch since the end of finals because her sublet doesn't start until June 1st. As much as she and her biological parents are cordial, spending the entire summer together, knowing what they now know, would have been uncomfortable to say the least. Besides, she says, her lives are here - the one where she's got friends and favorite places to hang out and the one she's trying to learn about.
It's a crowded house for now, but it's just for a week.
I'm thinking for boys, it's Marrrr-ty. For girls, it's Mar-tee. It's at least a little less deceptive than if your name was Chris or Pat or something.

What passed (and didn't) in the 2019 SF Election
News & Updates Newsletters San Francisco Elections
2019 SF ELECTION RESULTS EXPLAINED
On November 5, 2019, San Francisco residents cast their votes in the San Francisco municipal election. After several days of too-close-to-call ballot measures and candidate races, the results are finally in, and sf.citi recaps all you need to know.
Consisting of San Francisco-only ballot measures and races, this year's election didn't attract the same voter turnout as last year's November election in San Francisco. There was, however, no shortage of election drama. Two ballot measures—Proposition A, or the largest affordable housing bond in San Francisco history, and Proposition D, the Traffic Congestion Mitigation Tax—took several days of careful ballot counting to declare. Both required a two-thirds supermajority to pass. So did they? Find our in our election recap.
The margins of victory for the races to be San Francisco District Attorney and District 5 Supervisor were also razor thin. In the end, Chesa Boudin beat appointed interim District Attorney Suzy Loftus by less than 3,000 votes. Democratic socialist Dean Preston, meanwhile, overtook incumbent District 5 Supervisor Vallie Brown in an even narrower win. sf.citi extends our congratulations to all of the new elected officials—we look forward to working together in the months to come.

LAST sf.citi LUNCH AND LEARN OF 2019 WITH ASSEMBLYMEMBER PHIL TING
sf.citi concluded our final Lunch and Learn discussion of 2019 with California State Assemblymember Phil Ting. Hosted at Google, we were joined by representatives from sf.citi members AT&T, Cruise, Dropbox, Lyft, Slack, Zoox, and more.
Assemblymember Ting represents California's 19th Assembly District, which spans the western half of San Francisco, Broadmoor, Colma, Daly City, and South San Francisco. Assemblymember Ting is well versed on issues facing San Francisco, having worked as the City's Assessor-Recorder under former Mayor (now Governor) Gavin Newsom.
"The good news (and the bad news) from Sacramento is that we're doing a lot of things," began Assemblymember Ting. Of these, housing and homelessness are the top issues he and his colleagues are working to tackle. Assemblymember Ting championed the passage of Assembly Bill 68, which streamlines the construction and permitting of accessory dwelling units, also known as in-law units or ADUs. Much cheaper to build than your standard single unit of housing in California, ADUs represent one piece of the state's larger housing puzzle, said Assemblymember Ting. He is also a co-author of Senate Bill 50, which would mandate high-density zoning around transit corridors. His other priorities include reducing transportation emissions and improving California's education system.
Question for the Assemblymember: What are you excited for in 2020?
"Clean cars," said Assemblymember Ting. Explaining that 80 percent of California's transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions comes from passenger vehicles, he believes zero-emission vehicles are an area "where we can make a lot of headway."

HOW sf.citi MEMBERS HONOR VETERANS
On Monday, sf.citi members shared ways in which they support active military members and veterans—and not just on Veterans Day but all year long!
So many sf.citi members empower veterans in both their workforce and on their platforms. Perhaps most striking is sf.citi members' commitment to hiring veterans and training them for today's increasingly tech-powered civilian life. We've highlighted a few examples from our members below.
Lyft encouraged passengers to round up their fares and donate to the United Service Organizations (USO). sf.citi member Lyft's Round Up & Donate feature in the Lyft app is an easy way to support good causes, including services for military members and veterans. Nine percent of Lyft drivers have served in the military and this Veterans Day, Lyft shared some of their stories.
Salesforce celebrated the five-year anniversary of its Salesforce Military Program. Over the years, Salesforce has proven itself a leader in preparing veterans, service members, and military spouses for high-paying tech careers. The company offers members of the military community free online trainings and certifications to learn high-demand Salesforce skills.
Verizon was ranked the #1 military friendly company in 2019 and has employed over ten thousand veterans. This Veterans Day, sf.citi member Verizon introduced us to a few of its veteran employees. As an added bonus, Verizon offers product discounts to military service members and veterans.
One furry employee (or "Doogler") at sf.citi member Google paved the way for dog-friendly workplaces here in the Bay Area and beyond. Learn more about the legacy of Yoshka, belonging to eighth Google employee Urs Hölzle, here.

Acupuncture for pain management in Frisco, TX, allows you to experience first-hand the wonders of the ancient Chinese medical tradition.
Acupuncture has been used for hundreds of years to alleviate pain in the different areas of the body. While this ancient practice was met with skepticism in the past, it is now widely known and practiced not just in China, but in North America and Europe as well.
Acupuncture is not a magical alternative to Western medical practices. In truth, it is the activation of the body's natural healing mechanism. By sticking fine needles to a painful body part, nerves and muscles are stimulated. Pain is lessened, if not entirely removed after a few sessions.
With studies and experiments as proof, this medical treatment can help cure individuals of chronic neck and back pain, headache or a migraine, arthritis, and gout.
People of all ages who have turned to acupuncture for pain relief have found how effective this practice is. Based on studies from the National Institute of Health (NIH), patients who sought acupuncture for chronic pain have shown great improvement in their condition. They experienced better knee and joint movements.
The NIH also recommends acupuncture for lower back pain. A review of over 22 studies on acupuncture for back pain revealed that those who underwent acupuncture sessions had a faster recovery and overall health improvement than those who received "sham" treatment.
But, is acupuncture for migraines just as effective? According to the American Migraine Foundation, acupuncture for headaches reduces the severity of pain and the frequency of attacks. Patients who took acupuncture treatment for over six months have reported that their headaches were reduced to almost 50 percent.
Meanwhile, acupuncture for sciatica is also popular in China and the US. Sciatica is a major cause of hospitalization in China. Patients either seek strong medications (with adverse effects) or go for alternative treatments. Han (2003) also noted that acupuncture can help release neurotransmitters needed for pain reduction. It is a phenomenon rarely achieved through pain relievers alone. The same effects are true for acupuncture for arthritis. Although more studies are necessary to prove the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating other diseases, one cannot deny the efficacy of acupuncture for neck pain, hip pain, leg pain, and shoulder pain. If you are looking for safe and less costly treatments for your physical ailments, acupuncture is something you should not miss.
Aside from resorting to acupuncture for back pain treatment and neck pain treatment, you may also rely on acupuncture for nerve pain treatment. The needles target various pressure points in the body. They hit – or stimulate – nerves and prevent further damage to them. It's like making these nerves work again.
Once the pressure points stimulate the nervous system, the body will begin releasing endorphins, the so-called "happy hormones". This changes the body's reaction to pain. Such effect of acupuncture is more useful for the individual in the long run. It is indeed a better treatment option, compared to downing pills, antibiotics, and other harmful medications.
Give Yin's Acupuncture and Herbs Clinic a call now and see the results of acupuncture for pain management in Frisco for yourself.

In this day and age of "big box" stores like Costco, Best Buy, Wal-Mart and the never-ending promise of big is better, there's one small store in South Pasadena that's been successful for more than 60 years by serving one customer at a time.
Speers TV, 919 Fair Oaks Ave., has been selling and repairing all types of electronics for more than 60 years. And if current business is any indication, that trend may continue for the next 60 years.
Alen Harikian loves his job with Speers TV and hopes to continue its success for the next 60 years.
This is a family-owned business headed up by 72-year-old Ash Harikian. The Harikian family have owned Speers TV since 1996.
Speers TV was originally founded and owned by Dal Speers when it opened on Mission Street in South Pasadena back in 1951. The business moved to its present location in the early 1980s.
The store is an authorized dealer for Sony, Sharp, Samsung, LG, Toshiba, Panasonic, Onkyo and Pioneer.
Not only does it sell flat screen, smart televisions, surround sound, and anything else offered at the "big box" stores, but it repairs them as well. And it's the repairs that keeps generations of customers coming back for more, Harikian said.
"Actually, modern TV's are easier to repair than older models, more costly, but easier," the elder Harikian said as he gave a reporter a tour of his two-story storefront that is jammed to the rafters with radios, wires, tools, LED lights, TVs, and DVD players, to name just a few of the electronics that fill the workrooms and storerooms.
Alen Harikian works behind the counter in the showroom for Speers TV in South Pasadena.
Harikian was an IBM computer technician from 1970 to 1980 in Tehran, Iran. When the Shah of Iran fell, Harikian fled to safety and changed his job specifications from computers to electronics.
"While I was at IBM, I was training also in electronics and then when the revolution happened in Iran I switched from computers to house electronics. Then gradually over time I learned to repair cassettes, reel-to-reel tape recorders and the televisions." The store still has more than a thousand tubes over 60 years old that were used to run television sets. The store- rooms upstairs and in the back resemble more a museum of rare electronic artifacts than a bustling business, Harikian said.
He pointed to a nearby radio that was sitting among the wires, components and circuit boards.
The Stewart Warner Corp. table top tube-radio was built in 1946. Harikian was repairing the radio alongside the 60-inch flat screen, smart TV.
Repairing modern televisions is easier than fixing older sets.
The ability to work on the ancient coupled with ability to fix the new is another reason the business is flourishing.
The 42-year-old Alen agrees with his father, and said he hopes to continue the business well into his 70s, just like his father.
The old with the new also holds true for customer referrals as well. As an example, Alen said Yelp.com has been a "huge boost" to getting new customers.
In fact, they were planning to head out to El Monte for an installation of a new 75-inch, flat screen TV with surround sound.
Speers TV has been in business since 1951. It has been in its current location at 919 Fair oaks Ave. in South Pasadena since the early 1980s.
And that's exactly what the Harikian's have been doing for one centenarian for a quarter-century now.
Speers TV is located at 919 Fair Oaks Ave. in South Pasadena. Hours of operation are Mon.-Fri. 9:30 a.m.- 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. For more information visit at www.speers-tv.com call (626) 799-3639.

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), says Federal Government will soon repatriate over 50 Nigerian girls trapped in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Director–General NAPTIP, Dame Julie Okah–Donli, said this on Thursday in Abuja while briefing Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, on the outcome of the investigation on Nigerian girls trafficked to Saudi Arabia.
The director general who came along with one of the victims said that the team was set up by the minister after a complaint was lodged by NAPTIP on the nation's youth being innocently trafficked to Saudi.
"There were calls from victims who were being trapped in Saudi, who are suffering and you graciously set up a team comprising NAPTIP officials and the ministry to go to Saudi and investigate.
According to her, most of them are raped while others are made to work 18 hours out of 24 hours.
"There is a very big cartel that works with embassies, who secured visas for the victims because those who have genuine businesses don't easily get visas but the trafficked," she said.
The Minister described the situation as pathetic and said that the Federal Government was going to deal with the issue holistically and see the end of the menace.
Onyeama said that there was a report that had a serious and a very negative impact on the country and the people, which made the ministry to set up an investigation team on it.
"Human trafficking is about trafficking beyond our border and this concerns the ministry of foreign affairs; we are also very much worried.
He said that the ministry was in the process of having inter-ministerial meetings with all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to really address the problem and tackle the issue once and for all.
"And, every effort would be made, that nothing would be spared toward eradicating this menace from this country and from the face of the earth," he said.
The victim who was veiled while narrating her ordeal in Saudi Arabia said that she was lured by a friend living in Dubai who connected her with a woman in Bannex Plaza in Abuja.
The girl who spoke in English fluently but didn't reveal her identities, said she left for Saudi Arabia with other girls on Dec. 30, 2017 before being rescued by NAPTIP through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"The agent promised that I would go to Saudi Arabia as a sales girl and that I would be earning equivalent of N150, 000 there.
"Everything was processed through her and when we got to Saudi Arabia it was a different thing entirely, my passport was seized and I ended working as a house help.
The girl, who said she almost committed suicide before help came for her called on the Federal Government to come to the rescue of thousands of Nigerian girls trapped in Saudi Arabia.
"I want Government to assist those other girls that are stranded because it is not easy, Nigerian girls are passing through hell in Saudi Arabia , there may not be work in Nigeria but it is better to stay back.

The company that was to become Garrard was founded by George Wickes (1698–1761), who entered his mark in Goldsmiths' Hall in 1722. Wickes set up business in Threadneedle Street in the City of London in 1722; the company moved to Panton Street off Haymarket in central London in 1735 as a goldsmith and provider of jewellery and other luxury items to aristocratic patrons. Wickes was an accomplished silversmith known for his work in the rococo style, and gained the patronage of Frederick, Prince of Wales. Two apprentices of Wickes, John Parker and Edward Wakelin, purchased the company following Wickes' retirement in 1760, replaced by John Wakelin and William Taylor in 1776. Following the death of William Taylor, Robert Garrard became a partner in the company in 1792. Garrard took sole control of the firm in 1802, with his sons Robert Garrard II, James and Sebastian succeeding him in running the company, trading as R., J., & S. Garrard (or Robert Garrard & Brothers) until James' retirement in 1835, when the company became R & S Garrard. The company remained in the hands of the Garrard family until the death of Sebastian Henry Garrard, great-grandson of Robert Garrard senior, in 1946. The name Garrard & Company Ltd was registered in 1909, and the company moved to new premises in Albemarle Street in central London in 1911.
In 1843, Queen Victoria appointed Garrard as the first ever official Crown Jewellers, leading to the production of numerous pieces of silverware and jewellery for the Royal Family, as well as the upkeep of the Crown Jewels. The company has dealt with a number of famous jewels, such as the Cullinan diamonds (including Cullinan I, "The Great Star of Africa"), and created such pieces as the Imperial Crown of India in 1911, the crown of Queen Mary for her coronation, and the Crown of Queen Elizabeth in 1937. In 1852, Garrard were given the responsibility of re-cutting the famous Koh-i-Noor diamond into a brilliant.
In 1848 Garrard produced what is now referred to as the America's Cup, and is the oldest international sporting trophy. The Cup is an ornate sterling silver bottomless ewer originally awarded in 1851 by the Royal Yacht Squadron for a yacht race around the Isle of Wight in England, which was won by the schooner America. The trophy was renamed the 'America's Cup' after the yacht and was donated to the New York Yacht Club under the terms of the Deed of Gift, which made the cup available for perpetual international competition.
Garrard amalgamated with The Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company in 1952, when they closed their Albemarle workshops and moved premises to Regent Street. Garrard merged with the jewellery firm Asprey in 1998 to become Asprey & Garrard, moving from 112 Regent Street to premises on New Bond Street. The company demerged in 2002, with Garrard returning to the Albemarle Street site it first occupied in 1911. Garrard was acquired by the US private equity firm Yucaipa Companies in 2006, ending its partnership with Asprey.
Jade Jagger was the creative director for the company from 2001 until being replaced by Stephen Webster in 2006. In 2012 Sara Prentice was appointed Creative Director of the brand.
On 15 July 2007, an announcement was made in the Court Circular, under Buckingham Palace, that Garrard & Co's services as crown jeweller were no longer required, with the reason cited being that it was simply 'time for a change' . This ended 166 years of Garrard's tenure as the inaugural British Royal Jeweller, although Garrard still holds a royal warrant from her son, the Prince of Wales.
More recently, Garrard has been noted as being the maker of the sapphire engagement ring given by Charles, Prince of Wales, to Diana, Princess of Wales for their 1981 marriage.
After the Death of Diana, Princess of Wales, the ring passed to her sons, and in 2011 it returned to the public eye as the engagement ring Prince William, Duke of Cambridge gave to his wife Catherine. The distinctive cluster setting of this ring has become a signature of the House, and is still seen in the designs of the 1735 collection today.
Garrard has created many other jewels that are worn by the British royal family, including the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara which Queen Elizabeth II is seen wearing in the portrait featured on British currency. The Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau worn by Meghan Markle on the occasion of her marriage to HRH Prince Harry was created during Garrard's time as crown jeweller.
Garrard created the Premier League trophy, and produced the original prop of the Heart Of The Ocean for Titanic.
In 2018 The House of Garrard continued its rich legacy of sapphire jewellery creations with the unveiling of a 118.88ct royal blue Burmese sapphire presented in a brooch that features the House's signature cluster setting. The jewel was named in honour of the 65th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, a date traditionally marked by the gift of a sapphire, and pays tribute to the House's role in remodelling the Imperial State Crown for the occasion.

Note that when you were married, your spouse was the one person who you can always confide in and count on in everything which affects your trust in others. When you go through a divorce, you must make sure that your past does not impact your future and you can do this by reaching out to others.
It is essential to spend most of your time with your closest friend or members of the family and share your stress with them as this will help you to cope with the situation in the best way possible. You can handle all the divorce matters in the right way when you open up to the loved ones and closest friends. Court rates and lawyer payment among other expenses are associated with divorce and thus can have an enormous impact on the cash that you have in your pocket. The internet is one of the best places where you can find a perfect site which can allow you to save cash when you are going through a divorce.
Make sure that you take notes on any encounter you have during the divorce period as this will give you a perfect chance to handle it. Many people who are in their offices also get affected by divorce even if they are fully occupied. Do not take a lot of time thinking about the divorce matters as this will increase the heartbreak. Have a journal or a diary which you can use to note the things which are caused by the separation stress. It is essential to understand that having all your thoughts written down like when you got upset will help you to monitor them and live a smooth life. Volunteering your time to assist other individuals in the society when you are is another valid method to deal with stress. When you volunteer to help others, you will ensure that your mind is busy trying to bring a difference to a community.

Zoom is no longer the best-performing work-from-home stock
ივნისი 23, 2020 at 6:03 pm
Zoom may be the technology story of the pandemic. But it's no longer the best-performing tech stock of the work-from-home era.
That distinction now belongs to Fastly, which went public a month after Zoom last year. Fastly shares climbed 15% on Monday to $73.27, following last week's 36% surge. They're now up 222% since the market's peak on Feb. 19, outperforming Zoom, which is up 159% over that stretch.
Fastly's technology helps consumers more rapidly view and retrieve digital content. Its customers include e-commerce software provider Shopify, music-streaming service Spotify and messaging app Slack, which are all seeing usage spikes with so many people working remotely. Some analysts are starting to see Fastly as one of the top technology winners from the accelerating trend toward working from home and staying at home.
"Its customers are a lot of the next-generation bleeding-edge tech companies," said Rishi Jaluria, an analyst at DA Davidson who recommends buying the stock. "It's the combination of a company with really strong fundamentals and everything executing really well and at the same time, I think, momentum is building on that."
Jaluria has the highest share price target of the six analysts tracked by FactSet who have published predictions, but even he hasn't been able to keep up with the latest rally. Jaluria raised his target to $55 from $33 on June 3, when the stock was at $47.84. The other five analysts all have buy ratings, and target prices between $30 and $46.
Last month, Fastly announced a follow-on stock offering at $41.50 a share, 43% below Monday's close.

Imagine never becoming angry or upset. Imagine living every day with joy and peace of mind. The Orchot Tzaddikim writes(Shaar HaSimchah) that someone who has full emunah and bitachon in Hashem will always be happy no matter what is happening, because he knows that Hashem is the cause of everything that happens and Hashem only does what is best for him.
Rav Lugassi told a story about the mekubal Rabbi Daniel Frisch who lived in our times. He wrote many books including the Masok MiDevash edition of the Zohar HaKadosh.
his sefarim. He stayed at the home of a very respectable family. While there, he continued his writing and avodat hakodesh.
In general, he was sickly; his fingers were extremely bloated due to infections in his hands. It was very hard for him to write, but he did so anyway with incredible self-sacrifice. Although it was difficult, even in America he stayed up writing till the late hours of the night. The family hosting him was so proud to have this tzaddik with them.
Those were simple words of emunah that not only kept the Rabbi calm and not only calmed down the boy, but they also taught us a golden lesson on how to live our lives withemunah.
It's not easy to deal with the everyday annoyances when things don't go the way we had hoped. But if we always remember that everything was planned in advance by the One Who knows better than we do, we will be able to accept everything.

Carlos Gomez signs minor league contract and joins Mets in camp
By Deesha Thosar
PORT ST. LUCIE – It's full circle for Carlos Gomez, who seemed destined for a return to the blue and orange threads.
The Mets officially signed Gomez to a minor-league contract on Thursday with an invitation to spring training. Gomez finally arrived at the Mets facility on Wednesday after being delayed due to visa issues.
The 33-year-old said he always thought he'd return to the Mets someday in his career. Gomez is excited and anxious to reunite with the club he debuted for in 2007 – when he was just an unproven 21-year-old from the Dominican Republic.
"It's a dream," Gomez said. "Came back to the team where everything started in my career. A lot of good memories."

Of course, one infamous event is a bitter memory for Mets fans.

Gomez almost returned to the Mets at the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline in 2015. The Mets were ready to send Wilmer Flores and Zack Wheeler to the Brewers in return for Gomez.
The deal fell through when the Mets voiced concern over Gomez's hip issues. Flores, however, heard a premature report that he'd been traded during the Mets game against the Padres. Flores broke down crying on the field in what is now a calcified event in Mets history.
"I have no memories about that," Gomez said of the incident. "It's in the past. Now I'm here part of this organization. That's more important."

The Brewers, Gomez and his agent, Scott Boras, all later denied there was ever a problem with Gomez's health, especially his hip.
Gomez is a two-time All-Star with a Gold Glove to boot, but he struggled during an off-year with the Rays last year. The outfielder hit just .208 with a .634 OPS, nine home runs and 32 RBI over 118 games.

Now Gomez is ready to turn a new page. Gomez said he received offers – all minor-league deals – from other teams, but he chose the Mets because he thought they're the organization closest to winning a championship.

"It's part of the game. You're going to have good years and bad years," Gomez said. "Last year was a tough season but I learned a lot. Finally I have the opportunity to show the Mets that I'm a good player and I can help win games."
Gomez will battle for a spot on the 25-man roster alongside Keon Broxton, Rajai Davis and Gregor Blanco in a saturated Mets outfield.

BATTERY WORK IN PROGRESS
Wilson Ramos caught Jacob deGrom for just the second time this spring training in the Mets' 6-4 loss to the Nationals on Thursday. The Mets ace said he is still getting comfortable with Ramos behind the dish, as he's used to a solid relationship with cacher Devin Mesoraco.

Ramos and deGrom both said building a steady rapport between the pitcher and catcher is very important in a season. Ramos said he already feels comfortable catching the Mets rotation.
"Still a little bit of a learning process," deGrom said on Ramos catching. "He's new, he's gotta get used to what we like to do. He's done a good job asking us what we want to do. It's just get in-game situations and really figuring out my game plan and my approach."

Travis d'Arnaud caught three innings in a "B game" prior to the Mets game against the Nationals. With the front-office's eyes peeled in attendance, it was d'Arnaud's first game catching since April 8 last year. There were no plays at the plate, but he hit a pair of singles before ending his day. Manager Mickey Callaway said the next step is for d'Arnaud to catch in a Grapefruit League game this weekend.
Amed Rosario is "penciled in" the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins, Callaway said. The shortstop was hit by a pitch earlier this week and the X-rays came back negative.
Tim Tebow was hit by a pitch on his left foot during his final at-bat of the game Thursday. He was removed for a pinch-runner immediately after. Callaway said he looked OK walking off the field and took him out of the game as a precaution. Tebow logged an RBI single against Washington.

Q: How to target the MuiChip borderRadius in material-ui? I want to reduce the border radius on a chip component any idea how to target it right ? I tried to target the root class, here is my experimental sandbox.

A: You can do that in many ways but using makeStyles like you do:
"& .MuiChip-root": {
  borderRadius: 1
}

See codesandbox
Also radius on borders is called border-radius in CSS or borderRadius in MUI js based styles, not "borderRadious"..

A: First of all, you misspelled borderRadius as borderRadious, it should be the former.
Second, the value for no border radius is 0, and not "none"
Third, a better way to use classes is just to supply them as a prop to your Chip component, like <Chip classes={classes} /*rest of the props*/ />
The classes that worked for me is
const useStyles = makeStyles((theme: Theme) =>
  createStyles({
    root: {
      borderRadius: 0,
      display: "flex",
      justifyContent: "center",
      flexWrap: "wrap",
      "& > *": {
        margin: theme.spacing(0.5)
      }
    }
  })
);

Give these classes to all your chips and you're good to go

Q: Why are stateless functions not supposed to have methods? I have read in multiple places that stateless functions in React are not supposed to have inner functions. Why is it so, though it works?
const Foo = () => {
 let bar = () => {
    return lorem ipsum
 }
 return
{bar()}

}

This works. But, why is this not supposed to be done?

A: While still valid code, as far as react is concerned, the above example is not a stateless component.
A stateless component is basically a shortcut to the render method of a stateful component (without the same life-cycle) and should "ideally" only return data, not define methods or actually manipulate or create additional data or functionality. With a stateful component, ideally, you do not define methods within the render method so none should be added in a stateless component.
By defining a method, function, or parameter inside of a stateless component but outside of the render method, you are essentially saying that there is a possibility of manipulation within the stateless component, which defeats the purpose.
Mind you, it's still valid code...but just not "react" ideal.

A: N.B. This answer assumes that the use of the word "method" was incorrect, and that we are actually talking about an inner function, as in the example provided in the question.
A stateless component is defined as a function which returns something that can be rendered by React:
const MyStatelessComponent = function (props) {
  // do whatever you want here

  return something; // something must be render-able by React
}

To (re-)render the component, React calls the function, so it makes sense to perform expensive computations in advance and save their result outside of the function.
In your toy example, the function bar is declared once per render, and only used once. Let's assume that it was slightly more complicated and pass it a single parameter:
const Foo = () => {
  let bar = text => {
    return {text}
  }
  return
{bar("lorem ipsum")}

}

By moving bar outside of the component, you don't need to create the function once per render, you just call the function that already exists:
const bar = text => {
  return {text}
}

const Foo = () => {
  return
{bar("lorem ipsum")}

}

Now your component is ever-so-slightly more efficient, since is does less work every time it is called.
Also note that bar is almost the same as a stateless component now, and could easily be turned into one by making the function take a props object rather than a single string argument.
But the bottom line is that you can do whatever you want inside the stateless component. It just is worth bearing in mind that it will happen once per (re-)render.

A: The function Foo is basically the render method of the React component. Therefore, it will be called everytime the component needs to be rendered. By declaring a local function inside it, it will create a new function everytime the component re-renders, which is bad.
Either declare the function outside or implement a stateful component instead.

Terraria Otherworld Delayed - Game Getting Quite a Bit of Rework
By jdodson on 07/30/2016
Terraria Otherworld
Last year Re-Logic announced Terraria Otherworld, a game set in the Terraria-verse that contains more RPG styled gameplay. The initial concept and game shown seemed solid and most Terraria fans were interested in playing it when it launched. As you may have noticed, there hasn't been a ton of news on the Otherworld front and we now know why that is. Terraria Otherworld is getting quite a bit of re-work to bring it up to the level of quality Re-Logic is comfortable with. This means that the game will come out much later than they initially anticipated but it should be that much better for it!
"To keep it short and simple, at the beginning of this year, we undertook a full in-depth review of the project versus our standards, expectations, and vision for the game. It was pretty clear to us at the time that Otherworld needed quite a bit of work - and even a good bit of rework - in a number of areas in order to hit that mark.
We then spent some time in detailed discussion among ourselves and also with Engine Software in regards to how best to get things to where they need to be. We then made a list of requested reforms and changes and such. As a part of this, the project team at Engine now has a new lead designer and art lead along with other changes made to better align to our vision for the game. On top of that, our two teams have laid out clearly what needs to be done and are pushing forward executing towards that roadmap to deliver the game we expect - and our fans deserve - as soon as possible."
The game is getting some pretty sizable visual updates as well as gameplay enhancements and more. This should make for a more polished game at launch, something most fans will appreciate. The nice part here is that there was no promised deadline or early access fans to annoy, just the game getting the attention it deserves.
"We will work hand in hand with Engine to keep up the momentum on the work and rework in the weeks and months to come. We are confident in this new approach - but rest assured that we will remain closely involved and will make sure that Terraria: Otherworld gets finished in a way that will be worthy of the Terraria name.
We don't have a date to give you - our focus is on getting the game done right first and foremost. That said, expect it to be a while still - there is a lot of work to get done and done right. As we know more, we will share it - so expect a return of spoilers (though maybe not every few days as before ;) )."

Thanks for the update. I've been checking up often on the progress of this game. I'm not a big fan of waiting for a game I want to come out, but I do enjoy the fact that developers make sure that they deliver a polished game.
