Kavanaugh Begins Congress Tour, Selling Himself for Court
Associated Presscmaadmin (EDU)
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, mapped out strategy with Republican leaders Tuesday, launching a fierce confirmation battle that could remake the court for decades and roil the midterm elections in the meantime.
Kavanaugh, a favorite of the GOP establishment, first huddled with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. He was then meeting with Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the Judiciary Committee chairman. Joining him were Vice President Mike Pence and former Sen. Jon Kyl, seeking the GOP backing he will need to be confirmed in the divided Senate.
Republicans have reacted positively to Trump's pick, but McConnell has little margin of error in the final vote unless a few Democrats can be brought onboard. Republicans hold a slim 51-49 Senate majority, and pressure is mounting on Democrats from states that Trump won in 2016 to cross party lines for support.
McConnell called Kavanaugh "one of the most thoughtful jurists" in the country and blasted Democrats as "eager to try and turn judicial confirmations into something like political elections." The GOP leader warned against engaging in "cheap political fear-mongering."
The morning after he was nominated to become the next Supreme Court Justice, Brett Kavanaugh visited Capitol Hill to meet with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican Senators. Democrats are promising a fierce confirmation fight.
"We'll hear all kinds of fantastic stories about the pain and suffering that this perfectly qualified, widely respected judge will somehow unleash on America if we confirm him to the court," McConnell said.
Pence called Kavanaugh a "good man."
Democrats are uniting behind a strategy to turn the confirmation fight into a referendum on conservatives' efforts to undo abortion access and chip away at other health care protections under the Affordable Care Act.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York is vowing to fight the nomination "with everything I have."
Schumer warned, "In selecting Judge Kavanaugh, President Trump did exactly what he said he would do on the campaign trail — nominate someone who will overturn women's reproductive rights and strike down health care protections for millions of Americans."
Trump chose Kavanaugh, a solidly conservative, politically connected judge, as he seeks to shift the nation's highest court ever further to the right.
A product of the Republican legal establishment in Washington, Kavanaugh, 53, is a former law clerk for retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. Like Trump's first nominee last year, Justice Neil Gorsuch, Kavanaugh would be a young addition who could help remake the court for decades with rulings that could restrict abortion, expand gun rights and roll back key parts of" Obamacare."
In a prime-time televised announcement Trump called Kavanaugh "one of the finest and sharpest legal minds of our time."
"Brett Kavanaugh has gotten rave reviews — rave reviews — actually, from both sides," Trump said Tuesday as he left the White House for a weeklong overseas trip. "And I think it's going to be a beautiful thing to watch over the next month."
With Kavanaugh, Trump is replacing a swing vote on the nine-member court with a staunch conservative. Kavanaugh, who serves on the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, has taken an expansive view of executive power and has favored limits on investigating the president.
Speaking at the White House, Kavanaugh pledged to preserve the Constitution and said that "a judge must be independent and must interpret the law, not make the law."
Some conservatives have expressed concerns about Kavanaugh, questioning his commitment to social issues like abortion and noting his time serving under President George W. Bush as evidence he is a more establishment choice.
Some conservative and libertarian-leaning activists were disappointed by the pick and doubted it would provide Republicans with the midterm election boost they are looking for to motivate voters to the polls.
"This is going to give heartburn to some conservatives," said Brian Darling, a former Republican counsel to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
"It's not the pick conservatives had hoped for," Darling said.
Paul was among some Republican senators who had favored other options. But the senator tweeted after the announcement that he looked forward to meeting Kavanaugh "with an open mind."
With Democrats determined to vigorously oppose Trump's choice, the Senate confirmation battle is expected to dominate the months leading up to November's midterm elections. It typically takes about two months to confirm a justice.
Democrats have turned their attention to pressuring two Republicans, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, to oppose any nominee who threatens the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. The two have supported access to abortion services.
Kavanaugh is likely to be more conservative than Justice Kennedy on a range of social issues. At the top of that list is abortion. A more conservative majority could be more willing to uphold state restrictions on abortion, if not overturn the 45-year-old landmark Roe v. Wade decision that established a woman's constitutional right.
Like the other eight justices on the court, Kavanaugh has an Ivy League law degree, spending his undergraduate and law school years at Yale. Since 2006, he has been a judge on the federal appeals court in Washington. He also was a key aide to Kenneth Starr during Starr's investigation of President Bill Clinton, worked on behalf of George W. Bush's campaign during the election recount in 2000 and served in the Bush White House.
Kavanaugh's many written opinions provide insight into his thinking and also will be fodder for Senate Democrats who will seek to block his confirmation. He has written roughly 300 opinions as a judge, authored several law journal articles, regularly taught law school classes and spoken frequently in public.
Kavanaugh's views on presidential power and abortion are expected to draw particular attention. Drawing on his experience in the Clinton investigation and then in the Bush White House, he wrote in a 2009 law review article that he favored exempting presidents from facing both civil suits and criminal investigations, including indictment, while in office. That view has particular relevance as special counsel Robert Mueller is looking into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign played any role in a foreign interference plot.

First and most importantly, let me state that I am a firm believer in this country and the hard work you have put in at bettering our nation as an incoming president. On behalf of my humble self, Kogi PDP youths, and thousands of your supporters from across the length and breadth of the country, I heartily rejoice with you and congratulate you on your emergence as the standard-bearer of our great political party at the just concluded PDP National Convention held in Rivers State.
You emerged in a transparent and open process, which is the main reason why other aspirants vowed and publicly threw their weight behind your candidature. This fact has thrown the APC into confusion as their expectation and hopes of disagreement amongst major contenders in the contentious primaries are nothing but mere imaginations. This is the time to galvanize millions of PDP supporters/members nationwide to reinforce your resolve to bring about the desired national transformation needed to turn around the fortunes of our beloved country Nigeria. The task, going forward, is to ensure victory at the polls in order to save our fatherland from the current aberration.
Sir, may I bring to your notice that Kogi PDP, which is a crucial part of the pivotal zone [North Central] that will determine the ultimate winner in this coming presidential election is in disarray. The Peoples Democratic Party in Kogi State is in fresh crisis following the imposition of candidates without the consent of major stakeholders and in the process shutting out perceived popular aspirants out of its primaries. From Kogi West Senatorial District to Kogi East [the centre of PDP's injustice] and a few incidents in Kogi Central , the National Assembly primaries in Kogi is nothing but a farce.
I'm not in this letter stating my personal experience but rather stating what I saw as an insider witnessing these impositions with sheer arrogance, across zones that are very important in the coming electioneering in few months to come. Some respected stakeholders of the PDP and aspirants in the last primaries are already in the APC and other political parties, and these persons are crucial grass roots mobilizers who will be useful in your ambition of becoming the next elected president of Nigeria. If they have being short-changed unjustly and arrogantly, there must be a reason for them to still believe in this party again; reach out to them and bring them back to support your campaigns, they will, I know they will!
The PDP hierarchy is giving abstract excuses as reasons not to resolve this, despite numerous outcry in the media. There have been protests and petitions but all have been ignored. Your Excellency sir, If you are to garner votes ahead of your rival in the coming presidential election, you need to settle these disputes and disagreements for the sake of the ugly consequences it can have on your votes in the state. Kogi State will not have its gubernatorial election until late 2019, which gives APC a chance of concentrating on delivering higher votes for the incumbent. Majority of these candidates who are flag bearers, have their constituencies divided as they got the mandate against popular agitation for free, fair and credible primaries – from Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu to Dekina-Bassa. As it stands, mass defection is imminent in the state as major frontline aspirants are now standard-bearers on different platforms.
Few years ago during your ACN days, in one of my meetings with you, I asked you about your biases on the 'Igala Nation' and your response suggests you acted based on advice available to you. While I will not speak much about what my concerns were then, I can confirm to you that those concerns and fears are still very obtainable till date. My 'people' are first in all I do and I will stand by them always!
My letter calls for unity of purpose that admits no disunion and no internal backbiting but victory through harmony must be attained.
I commit myself to this task and urge you to calm all aggrieved members and opposing factions of our great party and implore them to join you in delivering the needed votes as we set to work as members of one united winning PDP.
One may want to ask what the leaders in Kogi are doing about the present situation, unfortunately, most prominent leaders are helpless. They seem to be undecided as to how to approach the case. They are torn between saying the truth and losing favour or to overlook the conflict and be applauded. I have interacted and consulted with many aggrieved members in Kogi East PDP and I can tell you all is not well. Kogi West is receiving the same measure of injustice though with a more mature way of reconciliation. Their prosaic stance is giving reinforcements to impunity and this spurious transitory come back of the PDP may eventually fade out.
Going by the high population of voters from Kogi East in any given election in Kogi State, I will plead with you to critically examine this unprecedented scenario in Kogi East and make attempts to rescue PDP from dying. I therefore submit that the sole responsibility of every idealistic leader is that he must act with emotional intelligence and see possibilities in every situation where others see limitations.
Your Excellency, I hope this letter will reach you. Thank you for the hard work that you are doing.


I had the scone, which was delicious - I vowed to try to replicate it at home. But I most surprised at how much I enjoyed my tastes of neverfull's salad. It was as she said healthy and tasty. BTW, the coffee was excellent as well.
I stopped by Sophia for brunch about a week ago and the place still doesn't quite have its bearings yet.
My favorite breakfast in Houston - Gorditas Aguascalientes.
@ ruthie j.- i only hear bad things about andy's. what do you order?
I went the other day to try this crazy breakfast salad. Great recommendation! I finished it at breakfast on kept thinking about it all day. It's so simple I'd like to try to make it at home.
they have wi-fi now. and they put in a whole wall of transparent hanger doors. i love the renovations b/c the place feels much more open now. also, i got them to make me a breakfast salad for lunch!

The organization of the component parts of a painting or drawing, and the relationship of those parts must be sufficiently interesting to attract attention. Otherwise people will quickly pass on from your painting to the next. Fundamental design theory tells us that to divide our image area into two equal parts is bad design. It's a generalisation but one worth remembering. As an exercise take a canvas and paint half of it a rich colour while leaving the other half white. On standing back it will be seen that the coloured area appears to carry more weight and will give the optical illusion of being larger. As painters we are thinking all the time in terms of optical illusion so in choosing our design we must understand how the eye and brain will interperate our use of colour and space. That doesn't mean never to divide the canvas into two equal halves, just to understand how your audience will be guided.
When thinking of pictorial design, we are concerned with the colour, tone, line and texture of our composition. What is our focal point and how do we solve the problem of introducing several focal points. An uninspired design will keep to the same basic design rules, while having a generally pleasant feel it will quickly loose it's appeal to the viewer. Those paintings which carry a more individual approach will offer the viewer something more and cause them to linger longer. Your design must be adept at conveying mood, movement and narrative. While it is confined by the boundries of the canvas or paper it must give a sense of what is beyond so that we are not merely looking into a box. Landscapes must convey time and place, portraits must show personality. Look at Cezanne's Old Woman with a Rosary. It is hard NOT to sense her life outside of this picture.
The final result of a painting must be more than the mere recording of facts. Providing the design is sound some of the other aspects, such as accuracy of drawing can be forgiven. Though this does not mean to disregard good draughtsmanship.
Having decided on your subject and what to paint you must then set about designing it. Choosing the shape of canvas and the divisions within it, the relationships of those divisions, the direction of light, the colours of your palette. Will it be a limited colour palette? Where will your focal point(s) sit and how will you lead the eye to and from it. Make a preliminary sketch or small preliminary painting to test your ideas and see how the reality fits with what is in your head.
When looking at an artwork ask yourself two questions. Firstly, what can I learn from this. If there is something about the painting that attracts you, study it to answer the question of how the artist has achieved his/her result. What aspects of colour, design, technique etc have they employed. Understanding what makes a good painting, and why it is good, can only aid you in achieving better results. Secondly ask yourself, what could I teach this artist. If there is something about a painting you feel is not right ask yourself how you would have approached it. There is nothing wrong with criticism if it is constructive. Recognising faults will aid you in avoiding similar errors. It will also give you a sense of how far along the road you have travelled.

The phrase "horse racing software" can mean two different things. It might refer to software used in racing horses or it might refer to a type of software which people use to simulate racing horses.
Whichever interpretation you use, we know that "horse racing software" definitely has something to do with computers. This just goes to show how much technology has changed our world. In case you used the phrase "horse racing software" in the past, it might have been interpreted by people as referring to a cushion which can be positioned on the saddle to make riding a much more comfortable experience. Nowadays, we know that software is the term for programs utilized to make a computer perform a certain task.
1) Training use – one of the interpretations of your term "horse racing software" is a piece of programming that can be used in racing horses. This could refer to the different types of software that are utilized in improving the racing performance of horses. Very few people know the fact that horse racing has been brought into the era of computers. horse racing tax.
There are various types of software utilized to quantify a horse's ability to race. You can find varieties of software designed to monitor a horse's physical development. There are varieties of software which aim to predict the outcomes of various races depending on current trends and statistics. Additionally, there are certain kinds of software which trainers use to organize racing strategies. This is because horse racing isn't just about speed anymore. It requires thinking and finesse to actually win races.
In addition there are various types of horse racing software which help in the conditioning of the horses. They are used to compute the various aspects of a horse's development. This sort of horse racing software enhances the activity of training horses towards the degree of an exact science.
2) Gaming – let us now discuss the other interpretation of the term "horse racing software". This can also be interpreted to mean some types of software that permit individuals to enjoy horse racing over the computer.
There are certain kinds of horse racing software like BetAngel which simulate different facets of the sport or helps betting. Through such type of horse racing software, you can live the life of the jockey, an owner or a trainer. This will provide you with an insight in the sports side of horse racing. Some types of horse racing software also allow you to challenge other players from around the world instantly.
There are also types of horse racing software like BetAngel which let people bet on actual races online. This type of horse racing software along with the free system at GertGambell.net provides people an opportunity to enjoy the thrill of the race without leaving their houses. Often, this type of horse racing software comes with a program that gives you all of the information you need to make a decision in respect of which horse to bet on or make arbitrage like the free calculator at win-every-time.com. Some kinds of horse racing software also have media players to enable you to watch the race from your own home as it happens.
Interpretation is the vital thing to locating the information you want. As you can see, the interpretations of the term "horse racing software" are quite different from each other. To find the details you need, you have to know the interpretation to use.

Q: SSJS - Cannot get the result of post request I'm trying to send a post request via SSJS
var url = 'https://th-apex-http-callout.herokuapp.com/animals';
var payload = '{"name":"wesh moose"}';
var req = new Script.Util.HttpRequest(url);
req.emptyContentHandling = 0;
req.retries = 2;
req.continueOnError = true;
req.contentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
req.setHeader("accept-encoding", "gzip");
req.method = "POST";
req.postData = payload;
var resp = req.send();

To get the result i used this code :
var resultStatusStr = String(resp.statusCode);
var resultContentStr = String(resp.content);
var resultStatusJSON = Platform.Function.ParseJSON(String(resp.statusCode));
var resultContentJSON = Platform.Function.ParseJSON(String(resp.Content));

I got 201 which means that the request has succeeded, but i'am unable to get the result of the request, it's always 'null' :(

Any help is appreciated!

A: After spending more than 5 hours trying to figure out a solution, I decided to abandon Script.Util.HttpRequest  function and use instead HTTP.Post , you know what, IT WORKED!!
Here's the code :
var url = 'https://th-apex-http-callout.herokuapp.com/animals';
headerNames = ["accept-encoding"];
headerValues = ["gzip"];
var payload = '{"name":"wesh moose"}';
var result = HTTP.Post(url,"application/json",payload,headerNames,headerValues);
var json = Platform.Function.ParseJSON(result.Response[0]);
Write('<br>Result: '+Stringify(json));

A: Taken from Comment to answer for easier reference.
You are doing resp.Content for the JSON and not resp.content. As SSJS is case sensitive, resp.Content is null as it was never defined but resp.content will contain the results of your API call.
So you need to change:
var resultContentJSON = Platform.Function.ParseJSON(String(resp.Content));

into:
var resultContentJSON = Platform.Function.ParseJSON(String(resp.content));

and then it will return the JSON Object you were expecting.
As a note too, the HTTP.POST solution you mentioned is definitely a great solution and it tends to be a less complicated way of doing it, but I usually recommend Script.Util.HttpRequest because of the versatility and customization you can get from it. But to be fair, it can be a bit much at times.

Broadway has launched a daily tracker of what shows are performing, an effort to keep consumers aware of what shows are on amid a wave of COVID-related cancellations. The website, accessible via bwaytoday.com, is updated daily and shows performances across the Broadway world for the next seven days.
Despite the cancellations, Broadway leadership has stood fast against rumors that there would be another widespread shutdown of performances, such as the one that began in March 2020 and lasted until shows gradually reopened in the summer and fall of 2021.
"We have absolutely no plans to shut down," Broadway League President Charlotte St. Martin told The Hollywood Reporter. "We are paying serious attention to the protocols. The other 20 to 30 shows continue to perform because we're following the protocols that we set up, and it shows they're working. People are tested before they get in with everybody else, and if their test is negative, then they get to go on."
Several performances are on pause at the moment, including Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, Aladdin, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and The Lion King. Jagged Little Pill also went on pause due to COVID, then producers opted to close the show down for good.
"We are dismayed by what appears to be another substantial public health crisis, and – due to the detection of multiple positive Covid-19 cases within the company – need to prioritize the health and safety of the cast, crew, and entire team working on 'Jagged Little Pill,' producers Vivek J. Tiwary, Arvind Ethan David and Eva Price said in a statement. "In light of the extreme uncertainty ahead of us this winter, and forced to choose between continuing performances and protecting our company, we've made the difficult decision to close our doors."
Broadway has maintained some of the strictest COVID protocols in all entertainment since its reopening, requiring full COVID vaccination and regular testing among its companies as well as full vaccination for all audience members. Its rules were recently updated to extend that vaccination requirement to children as young as five, now that this cohort is eligible for the shot.
St. Martin says that the willingness of the Broadway community to come together and keep to such strict rules has them confident that the industry will be able to weather this hard stretch together and keep the lights on, even if individual productions will have to go on pauses periodically through the winter.
"The biggest success was getting this very disparate group of people and shows to act as a single community," she says. "To get our whole community to work together and agree upon the kind of protocol and the communication strategies was a heart-lifting, amazing lesson that we all have. That was a great success, which to me bodes well for the future when we may have a variant after omicron. We will work together to ensure the safety and security of everyone."

Dr. Fauci Testimony Speech Transcript March 18: "Masks Are Not Theatre"
Rev › Blog › Transcripts › Dr. Fauci Testimony Speech Transcript March 18: "Masks Are Not Theatre"
Sen. Rand Paul questioned Dr. Fauci during a congressional hearing on March 18, 2021 over whether masks are necessary for people who have been vaccinated or have had the virus. Dr. Fauci emphasized that masks are still necessary for everyone to wear, especially with new virus variants. Read the transcript of their remarks here.
Sen. Paul: (00:00)
Dr. Fauci, in a recent British study, David Wiley and others found that no symptomatic reinfections from COVID-19 after following 2,800 patients for several months. In fact, there've been no reports of significant numbers of reinfections after acquiring COVID-19 naturally.
Shane Crody, a virologist at [inaudible 00:00:21] Institute for Immunology concludes from his experiments that the amount of immune memory gained from natural infection would likely prevent the vast majority of people from getting hospitalized disease, severe disease for many years.
In this study, which was published in Science, Dr. Crody showed that antibody levels stayed relatively constant with only modest declines over six to eight months. Dr. Crody reported that notably memory B cells specific for the spike protein or RBD were detected in almost all COVID-19 cases with no apparent half-life at five to eight months after infection.
In other words, Dr. Crody found significant evidence of long-term immunity after COVID infection. Furthermore, Dr. Crody noted B-cell memory to some other infections has been observed for as long as 60 plus years after smallpox vaccination, or even 90 years after natural infection with influenza. That was a woman who got the Spanish flu, still showed immunity 90 years later. So rather than being pessimistic towards people gaining immunity after they've had COVID or had a vaccine, studies argue for significant optimism. In fact, there have been no scientific studies arguing or proving that infection with COVID does not create immunity.
There've been no studies showing significant numbers of reinfections of the 30 million Americans who have had COVID. Only a handful of re-infection have been discovered. In fact, the New York Times reported last fall, more than 38 million people at the time worldwide had been infected with the Coronavirus. And as of that date, fewer than five of these cases had been confirmed by scientists to be reinfections. Scientists interviewed for the article concluded in most cases, a second bout with the virus produced mild or symptoms or none at all.
Given that no scientific studies have shown significant numbers of reinfections of patients previously infected or previously vaccinated, what specific studies do you cite to argue that the public should be wearing masks well into 2022?
Dr. Fauci: (02:31)
I'm not sure I understand the connection of what you're saying about masks and reinfection. We're talking about people who have never been infected before.
You're telling everybody to wear a mask, whether they've had an infection or a vaccine. What I'm saying is they have immunity and everybody agrees they have immunity. What studies do you have that people that have had the vaccine or have had the infection are spreading the infection? If we're not spreading the infection, isn't it just theater?
No, it's not-
If you've had a vaccine and you're wearing two masks, isn't that theater?
No, that's not. Here we go again with the theater. Let's get down to the facts. Okay? The studies that you quote from Crody and [inaudible 00:03:11] look at in vitro examination of memory immunity, which in their paper, they specifically say, this does not necessarily pertain to the actual protection. It's in vitro.
And what studies can you point to that shows significant reinfection? There are no studies that shows-
Let me finish the response to your question, if you please. The other thing is that when you talk about reinfection and you don't keep in the concept of variance, that's an entirely different ball game. That's a good reason for a mask. In the South African study conducted by J&J. They found that people who were infected with wild type and were exposed to the variant in South Africa, the 351, it was as if they had never been infected before. They had no protection. So when you talk about reinfection, you've got to make sure you're talking about wild type. I agree with you that you very likely would have protection from wild type for at least six months if you're infected. But we in our country now have variants that are circulating.
What study shows significant reinfection, hospitalization, and death, after either natural infection or the vaccine? It doesn't exist. There is no evidence that there are significant reinfection after vaccine. In fact, I don't think we have a hospitalization in the United States after the two week period after the second vaccination. Do you have a death in the United States?
You're not hearing what I'm saying about variance. We're talking about wild type versus variance. And now they're-
What proof is there that there are significant reinfection with hospitalizations and death from the variants? None in our country, zero.
Well, because we don't have a prevalent of a variant yet. We're having one… Can I finish? We're having 117 hat's becoming more dominant
You're making policy based on conjecture.
It isn't based on conjecture.
[crosstalk 00:05:17] variance, so you won't be able to wear a mask for another couple years. You've been vaccinated and you parade around in two masks for show.
You can't get it again. There's virtually 0% chance you're going to get it. And yet you're telling people that have had the vaccine who have immunity, you're defying everything we know about immunity by telling people to wear masks who have been vaccinated. Instead, you should be saying, there is no science to say we're going to have a problem from the large number of people being vaccinated. You want to get rid of vaccine hesitancy, tell them they can quit wearing their mask after they get the vaccine. You want people to get the vaccine? Give them a reward, instead of telling them that the nanny state's going to be there for three more years and you got to wear a mask forever. People don't want to hear there's no science behind it.
Well, let me just state for the record that masks are not theater. Masks are protective and we ask-
If they have immunity, they are theater. If you already have immunity, you're wearing a mask to give comfort to others. You're not wearing a mask because of [inaudible 00:06:14].
I totally disagree with you.
Sen. Murray: (06:16)
Dr. Fauci, if you could respond so that we could understand the difference between the virus itself and the variance and the reason for a mask.
I'm sorry, ma'am, I can't hear you.
If you could respond to the question, so that we could all understand the difference between the vaccine in controlling the wild type versus the variants that are out there and the reason for wearing a mask. I'd appreciate it.
Yeah. Yes. First of all, when you have a variant, you have an immunity that you get what's convalescent, Sarah, and the same sort of thing if I vaccinate you and me against the wild type, you get a certain level of antibody that's specific for a particular viral strain.
If there's a circulating variant, you don't necessarily have it. You have some spillover immunity to be sure, but you diminish by anywhere from two to eight fold the protection. So the point I'm saying is that there variants now circulating.
The point that Senator Paul was making was that if you look at wild type only, there is some clear cut credence to what he's saying, but we are living right now in a situation where we're having a dominance of 117, which was the original UK. We have a very troublesome variant in New York City of 526. We've got two variants in California of 427, 429, and we have a number of others. So we're not dealing with a static situation of the same virus. That was the only point I'm making.

These are two sides of the same coin. On one side, we have security for the virtual, or software-defined, data centre. On the other, we have security for cloud-based systems.
These are two sides of the same coin. On one side, we have security for the virtual, or software-defined, data center. On the other, we have security for cloud-based systems. The two are the same but different. They are the same in that they both work in a virtualised environment. They are different in that they have somewhat different challenges to address.
In a local software-defined data center there is complete control and the systems that get spun up are directly under the control of the administrator. Anything that happens in the local environment can be managed and investigated. The organisation owns the data center and, although it might be considered to be a private cloud, it is a closely contained one.
In a public cloud, the administrator does not have complete control. Because it is a shared environment, the cloud operator keeps a level of control that the administrator in a localised data centre would retain. That means that security at the level one would expect in a self-contained environment is not, natively, present in a public cloud. Moreover, the ability to investigate a breach in a public cloud is severely limited by contractual constraints. The solution to this set of challenges is the virtual network equivalent of a software wrapper. You wrap the virtual environment in the public cloud in a layer of protection and administration that, effectively, cuts off the virtual enterprise from those virtual enterprises sharing the same cloud infrastructure.
Our two Innovators in this section address the two sides of the virtual security coin. One focuses on the software-defined data centre while the other concentrates on the enterprise in the cloud. However, one trend that we are seeing more and more – and this certainly applies to our two Innovators – is microsegmentation. This allows highly granular control of security functionality and highly granular management of virtual assets.
This is an interesting and emerging group because the clear future of the data centre is in the virtual – whether private, public or hybrid clouds – and we need a reliable way to protect the data residing in these environments.
Innovation A virtual data centre security infrastructure that provides the protection of a similar stack in a physical data centre, but with the addition of functionality that explicitly addresses the challenges of the software-defined data centre.
GuardiCore was founded with the vision that security for the data centre needs to not only be able to keep up with the rate of constant change, but also be able to close the gap between traditional security technology and a sophisticated threat actor's ingenuity. In order to address that ingenuity, innovators need to be equally – or, perhaps, a bit more – ingenious. The GuardiCore Centra Platform provides a single, scalable platform that covers five elements of effective data center security: visibility, micro-segmentation, breach detection, automated analysis and response.
This Innovator starts by mixing the right people with a set of tough problems to solve. On the product side, the company has innovated by building a unique, highly converged platform within the data center. It combines visibility, both in real time and historically; microsegmentation of the infrastructure, by developing policy with very high resolution; continuous monitoring for breaches and quick reporting of the breach, using deception, reputation, lateral movement detection and semantic analysis to determine forensic details of the breach – all automated of course. Part of this Innovator's philosophy that we really liked is: Create a resilient network that assumes a compromise and learn how to live with it.
We liked that approach. Here is a case where the industry and the creativity of the adversary are the predominating drivers. In our experience, that is a pretty good formula for success as long as you recognise and respond to it. GuardiCore does all of that. To get to that point, however, you need a group of people passionate about security and infrastructure with lots of experience in both the security and IT infrastructure fields. They have that too.
Price Starting at annual subscription of £3,900 per hypervisor for base functionality.
That's a pretty big order. What we found as we looked into this Innovator is that it does a good job of meeting that marketing statement. How?
Networks usually have been built incrementally and that adds complexity and leaves the networks unsecure. This is especially true in the "multi-cloud" (public and private) environment. So, to address that complexity, vArmour has created an abstraction layer that lets customers straddle both kinds of clouds. Built for virtual and cloud environment, this is a purpose-built software designed specifically for virtualised and multi-cloud environments that uses a single logical system consisting of multiple, autonomous sensors rather than agents. These sensors are connected through the vArmour Fabric, which shares information and context across the system.

Q: How to create G matrix in Raptor code? I already finished make G matrix in LT code and and want to make G matrix in Raptor code. I read that Raptor code that combines between LDPC and LT code. So, the matrix of Raptor code is same LT code.It is only different the distribution-(the LT is RSD and Raptor is shokrollahi. Is it correct? Do you implement it in the matlab or C? Can you help me?

A: Not sure if you're still interested, but here it goes:
First of all, which Raptor code you're talking about? R10 (RFC 5053) or RaptorQ (RFC 6330)?
You've got the basic idea right, but the matrix is not exactly the same. If you look at the RFC (any of them) you'll see that there are submatrices apart from the LT one. These submatrices define the constraint relationships and will ensure the very nice properties offered by Raptor codes. The LT submatrix itself, is not the same as a LT code matrix because, as you said, the probability mass function is different (defined via the various generators - e.g., Tuple generator).
As far as implementing goes, it depends on what you want from it. If only want to learn Matlab is definitely the way to go. It will be much easier and you should have a working prototype in no time. If you want to use it in your own software or develop a library for other developers to use, then I would recommend C/C++.
If you're wondering "why you should listen to me": I implemented and maintain a RaptorQ library - OpenRQ . It is open source, if you're interested in checking it out. It was implemented in Java, and I can't say I'd recommend the experience to anyone. But at the end of the day it works and became a really solid project.

Geek Sneaks: Incorporating Science Education into the Moviegoing Experience
Posted on January 31, 2017 January 31, 2017 by Chuck Gahun
Dan Mushalko, Johnny DiLoretto, Katherine R. O'Brien, & Robert E. Pyatt
There are many published examples of strategies for using movies in science education, ranging from individual activities within a class to complete courses like "The Biology of Jurassic Park" at Hood College or "The Physics of Film" at the University of Central Florida (Borgwald and Schreiner 1994; Dubeck et al. 1988; Dubeck et al. 1995; Firooznia 2006). However, all of these strategies employ the use of the film within a formal classroom setting. This paper describes a collaborative program connecting hands-on science activities and new release motion pictures for informal science education in the innovative setting of a movie theater.
Initial Development
The Gateway Film Center (GFC) is a not-for-profit theater which includes eight screens, an art gallery, an upper level bar/ lounge area, a large lobby, and a lower level nautical-themed restaurant. In 2015, the theater was recognized by the Sundance Art House Project as an independent theater of excellence based on "high standards including: quality programming, deep involvement with their local communities, strong financial standing, and recognition from their peers and their communities"(Madden 2015)
The GFC initially began experimenting with science-related supplemental programming through discussions following showings of the film Gravity and the TV series Cosmos in 2013. Based on the success of those events and a love of science by the GFC staff, the theater was interested in broadening that concept to a wider range of new release films. Beginning in 2014, we formed a collaboration with the GFC to develop supplemental science programming related to and in support of films shown at the theater. The mission of the Gateway Film Center includes an educational component, but this traditionally had referred to cultivating film appreciation, movie criticism, and production skills (http://gatewayfilmcenter.org/films-cool/). However, they also promoted their facility as a "learning lab" to promote curiosity and the seeking of new knowledge (http://gatewayfilmcenter.org/films-cool/). We felt that this inspiring philosophy could also apply to science education and the use of the theater as an informal learning environment. This initiative was founded on the goals of (1) integrating science engagement into a unique part of popular culture, (2) exposing moviegoers to real scientists and real science questions, (3) facilitating learning in an informal environment.
FIGURE 1. Advertisement from the GFC promoting Science of Superheroes discussions.
During the 2014 summer blockbuster season, we spearheaded a series of panel discussions hosted by ourselves and other scientists from our immediate area in conjunction with three new films. As one journalist noted in a piece to promote these events, "You can't spell 'science fiction' without 'science'" (Madden 2014). Discussions were held after the 7 p.m. show on consecutive Fridays during the month of May and included topics such as "The Monstrosity of Science in Film" for the movie Godzilla and "The Science of Mutation" for X-Men: Days of Future Past (Figure 1). The series concluded with a discussion on the relative importance of scientific fact or narrative development in motion pictures. All panel discussions were held in the upper level lounge area of the theater and announced at the end of the film screening to encourage people to stay afterwards and attend. Most seats in the lounge area were usually filled for each panel and attendees were typically adults. Discussions were lively and included both expert commentary and audience questions to allow individuals the opportunity to directly interact with scien
tists around topics they were familiar with (e.g., comic books, superheroes, and monsters). When possible, we also supplemented panels with interactive displays such as a collection of insects for "The Hero: Fact vs. Fiction" discussion for the film The Amazing Spiderman 2.
Science and the Geek Sneaks
While the panel discussion format had proven successful, we wanted to develop science programming that was more interactive, broadly appealing to younger audiences/ families, and would extend across a larger range of time/ movie show times. We expanded the scope of our efforts and began developing science-related content for the Geek Sneak series at the GFC. Geek Sneaks are advertised as "the ultimate geeking-out atmosphere: parties, unique pre-show entertainment (think behind the scenes and rare footage) and themed drink and dining specials, with a group that loves the movie as much as you do!" (http://gatewayfilmcenter.org/featured_film_series/geek-sneaks/). Geek Sneaks are held the Thursday before a film opens nationwide and consist of multiple showings of that movie during the evening hours. As promotion for the Geek Sneaks highlighted special pre-show entertainment, this seemed like an excellent environment in which to incorporate an informal science education component.
Science activities related to each film are designed to be of short duration (completed in roughly ten minutes or less) and suitable for small groups of people (the typical sizes commonly attending movies). All activities are designed to be hands-on and focused around science content related to themes in the associated film. The GFC hosts multiple Geek Sneak programs throughout the year, but only those movies with science-related premises were deemed suitable for related science activities. In addition to our work, the GFC also arranged other science guests for some Geek Sneaks to further develop the educational message and promotion around some films.
FIGURE 2. Author D. Mushalko leads some theatergoers through an activity for the movie Ant-Man, using air pressure to increase or decrease the size of marshmallows.
The GFC has eight screens, and Geek Sneak science activities were typically hosted in the lobby area, which allowed them to be accessible to all moviegoers and not just those attending the Geek Sneak. For example, the Marvel Studios movie Ant-Man opened in June of 2015 and tells the story of a superhero who has the ability to shrink in scale thanks to a super suit created by his scientist mentor. As a superhero fantasy, there are many components of the story that lack scientific accuracy, such as the suit's implausible ability to shrink a person to insect size, Ant-Man's superhuman strength, and the ability of a human to go sub-atomic and survive in the quantum realm at the film's conclusion. However with a plot and hero based at least in part on real science principles, we felt that this movie offered an excellent opportunity to couple some related science activities. Two such activities were set up in the theater lobby from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. the evening of the Geek Sneak so that they were prominently visible to all theatergoers. The science activities for Ant-Man included one focused on air pressure as a mechanism to shrink or enlarge marshmallows using a hand pump or a vacuum chamber, as this most directly connects with the movie's plot and the hero's abilities (Figures 2 and 3). Each activity was accompanied by basic background information on the topic, which in this case included a brief definition of air pressure, a description of the composition of marshmallows, and a short discussion of how changing pressure makes them grow or shrink. Participants were also given markers and encouraged to create their own Ant-Man character with the marshmallow before experimentation. Additionally an entomologist and representatives from a local conservatory were also invited to present displays on ants and insects respectively.
For the film Jurassic World, we conducted DNA extractions from wheat germ so that moviegoers could take a sample of DNA they had processed themselves into the theater for the show, and a display of fossils was presented by the Ohio State University Orton Geological Museum including an impressive T-Rex skull. For the film Fantastic Four, science activities included light refraction experiments to mimic the powers of the Invisible Woman, and melting a small piece of the metal gallium (melting temperature 85.58°F) in the hand to mimic the heat of the Human Torch. For Star Wars: The Force Awakens, activities based around the Force focused on magnetism and static electricity (Figures 4 and 5). We have continued to develop film-related science activities with the GFC and have adopted a hybrid approach based on our experiences. For films with broader appeal that are more likely to pull in family audiences, we continue to develop hands-on, film-related science activities for Geek Sneaks associated with those movies. For the film X-Men Apocalypse we presented activities allowing theatergoers to search the human genome using a computer or test their own genetics of bitter taste [Figure 6]. For the film Star Trek Beyond, attendees could examine the warping of space or explore the International Space Station through a NASA computer simulation (Figure 7). Most recently, for the release of Shin Godzilla we showed the random nature of radioactive half-life using M&Ms and demonstrated the use of a Geiger counter with common household radioactive items.

FIGURE 4. An enthusiastic attendee demonstrates the non- contact force of magnetic attraction during activities for the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
For documentaries or other films aimed at more adult audiences, we have moved to hosting panel discussions in the theater's restaurant area to continue conversations about film-related topics after the film has ended. For example, recent screenings of the documentaries The Last Man on the Moon and Science, Sex and the Ladies were followed by lively discussions on the future of manned flight and female sexuality. While documentaries typically do not have the same appeal as Hollywood blockbusters, we find many adult audience members are more interested in digging into the respective topics in greater detail through discussion sessions following the showings.
Audience Reactions and Challenges
Moviegoers have been generally positive towards this unusual science programming, and we frequently receive comments like "That's really cool!" or "Why do you guys do this?" We see individuals coming to Geek Sneaks and checking in with us to see what new science activities we have planned for that film. For Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we conducted "super" experiments to see how a person's grip strength and total lung capacity would compare to Superman's given some of the feats we've seen him demonstrate in movies. We also recorded both measures on a large board for all participants as a comparison across Geek Sneak attendees that evening. We found that not only did moviegoers enjoy these activities, but some came back repeatedly throughout the evening to check their scores compared to others. A few even asked to repeat the activities to try to improve their scores, allowing us to discuss ways they could do that long term. We would also see one individual from a group complete the activities and then go and bring their friends over to try it as well. Most encouraging, however, is seeing groups who have completed the activities walk away discussing their results, which serves as further reinforcement of those concepts. We love watching informal science learning happening in a movie theater.
Given that the reason people are at the GFC is to see a movie, we try to be respectful of their time as they interact with us. We don't want to make anyone late for a movie. If attendees decline to participate, we graciously thank them for looking and comment that we hope they enjoy their movie. When individuals do participate, we often will ask when their show time is and modify our presentation accordingly if their time is limited. The popularity of a given movie directly relates to the number of attendees we will see for a Geek Sneak. For a film with reasonable popularity like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we saw forty people participating in at least one of the activities during the roughly two hours we were present for the Geek Sneak.

The participation of moviegoers was observed during the American premiere of Shin Godzilla. Two activities were run simultaneously for 45 minutes, and 34 moviegoers participated in at least one of the activities; most people did both. Participation was measured if an individual spent at least one minute on an activity. Gender (male; female) and age (child; teenager; adult) were recorded, as perceived by the observer, and each participant was also asked what movie they came to see as part of the demonstrators being cognizant of movie start times. Participation was scored by counting the unique ways moviegoers participated, including if the participant asked a question, answered a question, participated in the hands-on activity, watched the Geiger counter demonstration, helped another participant with the hands-on activity, or shared a story with the demonstrators. Participation scores ranged from a 1 (for someone who, for example, just watched an activity) to a 5 (for someone who, for example, actively participated). An example of a high participation score is the first female participant. She saw another movie but was interested in the activity because her mother is a statistician. While at the table, participant 1 asked and answered questions, shared her mother's occupation, observed the Geiger counter and participated in the hands-on activity. The average level of participation for a participant was 2.5, indicating that they engaged in between two and three unique activity modalities.
Most participants were adults (82%), possibly due to the lateness of the show, as well as the movie being in Japanese with English subtitles, which skews viewership based on reading comprehension levels. Furthermore, most participants were men (70%); however, this seemed representative of the gender skew of moviegoers who came for the Godzilla movie. Of the 10 women who participated, three (30%) women came to Gateway to view another movie, while of the 24 men only four (16%) came to see a movie other than Godzilla. There was no statistical difference between how much men and women participated, though they participated in different ways. Men were more likely to be the first to start the hands-on activity, ask a question, or share a story, while women were more likely to answer a question or help with the hands-on activity.
A recent report by a committee convened through the National Research Council described the venues of informal learning as occurring in the context of three areas: everyday (life) experiences such as personal hobbies, designed settings like museums, and after-school and adult programs (Bell et al. 2009). Studies by Falk et al. have show
n that the public has a broad interest in science, and a 2007 survey identified the "lifelong predominantly free choice nature of science learning" as the primary method of science education (Falk et al. 2001; Falk et al. 2007). Based on their results, the authors then recommend "a more holistic approach to science education" which "integrates school, work, and leisure time learning experiences" (Falk et al. 2007, 464). While extensive research has focused on designed settings such as museums or planetariums and informal programs such as out-of-school clubs and citizen science projects, there is considerably less information about informal science education in everyday settings.
FIGURE 7. With the help of author R. Pyatt, attendees explore the International Space Station using a NASA computer simulation.
A recent publication by Bultitude and Sardo described a new subclass of everyday settings they termed as "generic," which included locations designed primarily for leisure activities, where participants have chosen to be, but for reasons unrelated to science or science learning (Bultitude and Sardo 2012). In their article, the authors describe three such everyday settings including a collective of science communicators called Guerilla Science presenting at a music festival, a physics demonstration set up at a garden festival, and a biological survey (Bioblitz) conducted at a large country park. Through interviews and structured observations, the authors found that attendees of these "generic" events valued "audience participation opportunities and hands-on nature of some activities." The authors subsequently concluded that "holding activities within a relaxed but not habitual environment, where participants are at their leisure, offers clear advantages in reaching non-standard audiences"(Bultitude and Sardo 2012, 32). Our experiences using the innovative setting of a movie theater as one such "generic" everyday setting for informal science education would confirm this. While we have only anecdotal responses from participants, we have observed that hands-on activities and discussions in the theater stoked curiosity and promoted science learning in theatergoers. Especially following panel discussions, we observed that participants seemed to connect to a movie's science content in more personal ways. Finally, these science activities and discussions were excellent material for the Gateway Film Center to use in advertising and promotions which solidified the collaborative nature of this program.
At a recent Geek Sneak during the summer of 2016, we were approached by an attendee who was excited to talk to us. He had attended a previous Geek Sneak for X-Men Apocalypse and had participated in the activity around bitter taste genetics and the TAS2R38 gene. He excitedly told us that since that film he'd read a couple of articles which mentioned the TAS2R38 gene; he had remembered the gene from our activity and had gone to look up additional information on it himself. While it is only a single piece of anecdotal evidence, this is exactly the impact we are aiming for.

The mission of this journal is to explore constructive connections between science education and civic engagement that will enhance both experiences for our students. In the 21st century, mathematical and scientific reasoning is an essential element for full participation in a democratic society. Contributions to this journal will focus on using unsolved, complex civic issues as a framework to develop students' understanding of the role of scientific knowledge in personal and public decision making, along with examining how such knowledge is embedded in a broader social and political context. Since many pressing issues are not constrained by national borders, we encourage perspectives that are international or global in scope. In addition to examining what students learn, we will also explore how this learning takes place and how it can be evaluated, documented, and strengthened. By exploring civic questions as unsolved challenges, we seek to empower students as engaged participants in their learning on campus and as citizens in their communities.

Bhagavat è un termine sanscrito (devanāgarī: भगवत्) che in qualità di sostantivo intende "divino", "glorioso", "adorabile", epiteto di Visnù, di Kṛṣṇa, di Śiva, ma anche di un buddha o di uno jina. Nella sua forma di termine al nominativo di prima persona anche Bhagavān, più diffuso, ma riferito principalmente agli ambiti buddhisti, viṣṇuiti e kṛṣṇaiti.

Nelle scritture pali e sanscrite del buddihsmo, il termine è usato per denotare Gautama Buddha, riferendosi a lui come Bhagavā o Bhagavān (tradotto con la frase "Signore" o "Il Beato"). Il termine Bhagavan si trova anche in altri testi buddisti Theravada, Mahayana e Tantra.

Inteso come aggettivo, il sanscrito bhagavat intende indicare ciò che è "beato", "felice", "fortunato".

Il correlato bhāgavata in qualità di sostantivo indica l'adoratore del Bhagavat, mentre in qualità di aggettivo indica ciò che è relativo al Bhagavat, quindi a Viṣṇu, Kṛṣṇa, Śiva, etc..

Bhagavat, bhāgavata, Bhagavān, ma anche bhakti e bhāga (sostantivo maschile: "parte", "porzione"), sono tutti termini derivati dalla radice sanscrita bhaj col significato di "distribuire", "avere parte", ma anche "partecipare".

In tale ambito, nel Ṛgveda, bhāga indica quella "parte" di una "spartizione", mentre Bhaga è il nome di uno dei sei Āditya, precisamente di quello legato alla funzione del sovrano quando distribuisce la preda di guerra o i prodotti collettivi tra i membri adulti delle tribù arie. Quindi il sovrano umano è bhaga nelle sue funzioni di dispensatore di beni, perciò ricco ma munifico.

Il termine bhagavān appare per la prima volta nel Ṛgveda ed è chiaramente indicato nella Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad:

Da qui i bhāgavata, i devoti beneficiati dal Bhagavān/Bhagavat, quindi quel culto teistico alle origini del viṣṇuismo e kṛṣṇaismo moderni, attestato epigraficamente già a partire dal II secolo a.C.

Bhāskara, il mistico e filosofo hindu dell'VIII/IX sec., autore del Bhāskara-bhāṣya commentario del Brahmasūtra,  intenderà il Bhagavān come colui che detiene il bhaga ovvero che manifesta sei qualità: regalità, giustizia, gloria, prosperità, distacco e liberazione.

Parc Arqueològic de Guissona, Zona Termes
Municipality: Guissona
Region: Segarra
Chronology: 2nd century BC – 6th AD
Promoter: ICAC, Council of Guissona, UAB
Dates: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018.
The different archaeological interventions carried out by ARQUEÒLEGS.CAT at the Archaeological Park of Guissona, the ancient Roman city of Iesso (BCIN), have been located in the pub-lic areas of the ancient city. The interventions were conducted under the co-direction of Òscar Trullàs, within the framework of a research project led by professors Doctor Josep Guitart and Doctor Joaquim Pera.
The different interventions in this sector are intended to identify the different areas and structures that were related to the thermal building of the city, as well as to establish its chronological sequence throughout the history.
The scientific works in the area of the Roman baths began in 1975 by a team from the University of Barcelona led by Doctor Josep Guitart. During the excavation seasons developed be-tween 1975 and 1976, the remains of a building were discovered, which was interpreted as corresponding to the public baths of the city.
Despite the importance of the findings made at that time, the remains were covered and the area was used for agricultural uses again. Except for some surveys carried out in 1983 that did not provide much data on the thermal complex, it will not be until 2004 that archaeological re-search around the public thermal building of the city was resumed.
The dimensions of the thermal building at the peak of its splendour were of approximately 1500 m2, with a minimum of three phases of reform between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD.
The construction of the first thermal building, in the middle of the 1st century BC, took place in a space occupied until then by a neighbourhood from the Republican period. We only have documented this first moment in certain points of the city. However, the available data allow us to propose hypothesis about the structure and functioning of the buildings of this period.
During the second phase, middle of the 1st century AD, an extensive modification and probably monumentalization of the building took place, along with the survival of some elements of the previous phase. The circulation level was elevated and the natatio was built.
Finally, there is a third phase of reforms in the Flavian period. Nevertheless, it remains quite unknown because most of the structures have almost disappeared or are partially preserved. This is due to a new elevation of the circulation level (of approximately 1m).
During the third phase, the areas related to the caldarium of the second phase were modified. Thus, they built a small pool of cold water partially overlapping the old caldarium. This situation forced them to move southwards and to build a new heated room with a hypocaust system.

I have 3 more weeks left in this quarter (counting this week). So everything is coming due and also getting things ready for next quarter is also on my mind.
Right now I have a night class on Mondays, morning and afternoon classes on Tuesdays and an afternoon class on Wednesday. So I have a little time to play around with doing homework, studying and trying to have a life.
Next quarter is going to be a lot different. Morning class on Monday, Wednesday through Friday in school from 6a to 3p and an afternoon class on Saturday. Plus I will have to fit working at an internship (which I'm still looking for/applying to different places) which means a part time job.
And truthfully, the thought of it is a bit overwhelming (and even a bit scary). But it's also very exciting because I'm getting closer to the end and closer to my dream.
And I don't know why I called this post Scheduling. I couldn't think of another title.
You're getting there! It's overwhelming but when it's over, it'll all be worth it. Keep at it. You're doing great.


via AnonHQ.com / March 14, 2016 / Radiation in Fukushima was so bad, they couldn't afford to send people into some places. It turns out, the radiation was so high that even the chrome-domed replacements didn't fare much better.
The solution? Robots. The problem? Robots.
"It takes two years to develop a single-function robot," Masuda said.
As soon as TEPCO's robots, co-designed with Toshiba, get close to Reactor 3, their circuitry gets destroyed by the radiation. The robots are designed to "swim" in the radiated pools where the radioactive fuel rods are located, to search for and recover them.
The robots are unable to enter Reactor 3 because of the concentrated levels of radiation compared to the lesser toxic Reactor 4, where 1,535 fuel rod assemblies had previously been removed. Workers were also able to stand near enough to the pool to directly observe the process in Reactor 4.
This is the same company, mind you, which "accidentally" used radiation monitoring equipment which maxed out at 100mSv when the radiation was 18 times higher – nobody was concerned that the reading was stuck at 100 for really long periods of time, apparently.
TEPCO claims that the radiation levels in many locations at the site have fallen dramatically. We were unable to verify if they were using the correct equipment at this time. However, more than 8,000 human workers continue to risk their lives clearing the site of debris at any one time throughout the day.
Water is pumped into the reactors to cool them, and the irradiated water is stored in leaky, illegally-constructed-by-desperate-poverty-stricken-people water tanks.
So far, Japanese fishermen have refused to allow TEPCO to release the water it has "treated" into the sea… though TEPCO site manager Akira Ono claims that he is "deeply worried" the storage tanks will leak radioactive water into the sea anyway.
Masuda, for his part, claims that leaks have been greatly reduced ever since the company built a wall along the shoreline. Walls are apparently an important solution for every problem in the world.
In February, TEPCO completed construction of the world's largest ice wall to prevent the water from leaking into the groundwater, and thus, into the sea. The wall will only be tested later in the year when water is pumped through the pipes and frozen.
TEPCO is developing another robot that will be ready by 2017. However, it is unknown how long that one will last.
