Ukraine's Critical Infrastructure Is under Strikes Threat: Air Defense Will Help to Stop Putin's Missile Terror
Russia uses every significant drop in temperature to prepare and launch a new missile strike. On average, Russia needs 1.5-2 weeks to prepare a new missile strike, and recently it has been combined with drone attacks. Putin wants to change the situation at the front in his favor and with the help of missile strikes to force Ukraine to negotiations.
Putin does not have any success on the battlefield. The so-called "negative offensive" demonstrated by the Russian troops, withdrawing from the Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv regions, Kherson, etc., has already become a catchphrase. Putin did not achieve any of the goals set on the eve of the invasion. Therefore, it considers missile strikes and de facto terror against Ukrainian civilians as an element of military and political pressure on Kyiv. On average, Russia needs about two weeks to prepare missiles for a mass launch against Ukrainian infrastructure. There are a huge number of missiles in Russian warehouses, but most of them are not suitable for launch, so, Russian experts prepare 5-7 missiles per day. These regularities make it possible to calculate the approximate dates of Russia's subsequent missile strikes, and it is confirmed.
The last rocket strike on December 29 was directed on residential buildings. Thus, a hotel building was damaged in Kyiv, and three people died as a result of direct hits on residential buildings. Putin is no longer guided by any restrictions, his goal is to kill Ukrainians, and therefore he is waging war exclusively with terrorist methods. The shortage of cruise missiles in Russia is becoming more and more noticeable. Putin is combining missile strikes with Iranian-made UAVs' strikes. In order to exhaust the Ukrainian air defense and determine its location, such drones fly, as a rule, at night. The next day rockets are launched with some corrections, which are aimed at critical infrastructure objects.
Missile attacks will intensify in cold weather periods, air defense is the only one instrument to save Ukrainian infrastructure in the winter period. Putin is actually carrying out a mobilization in Russia, because there is no order about its completion. However, the Russian mobilized are low-skilled. The 300,000 who were already called up during the fall, could not influence the situation at the front in any way.
No doubt, the missile terror of Ukraine will continue indefinitely, in fact, as long as Russia has the appropriate arsenal to strike. Putin could not occupy Ukraine in three days, could not defeat the Armed Forces on the battlefield, and his army is ridicule in front of the whole world and synonymous with murderers, rapists and looters. Therefore, Putin wants to inflict the greatest damage on Ukraine and gradually destroy its critical infrastructure.
Ukraine critically needs the Western weapons, primarily air defense and missile defense systems to protect its infrastructure. Its preservation is vital for saving the lives of tens of thousands of Ukrainians who are fighting for their independence, saving it from the encroachments of the Russian tyrant. Ukraine acts as Europe's shield, stopping the Russian onslaught, and should receive maximum assistance and support.

How We Think About Work: Beliefs That Hold Us Back
Margherita Sgorbissa tells how our origins influence our perception of work and what questions we should ask ourselves.
von Margherita Sgorbissa, May 7, 2020
This article was originally published on Margherita's website FairForce and you can find it here.
Ever since I started asking myself questions about my professional identity, I've tried to go deeper and explore how this identity was formed. What has contributed to creating my disparate ideas about work over time?
I have realized that my family experience, my education, my family's level of wealth, the country where I was born, and the cultural narratives and progress of technology are only a few factors that have contributed to form certain ideas of mine about work. I remember my parents being quite negative about work and complaining about it almost all the time. It seemed to me they considered their jobs only as sources of income, not at all as something from which they could gain fulfillment or happiness. This made work feel like something heavy, annoying almost like a conviction.
Work was never associated with joy or passion; it never seemed like something that could be strategically integrated into personal growth, but instead was something totally separate, obligatory and done only in order to survive and pay the bills. I need to add another detail.
The level of wealth in my family has always been fluctuating and precarious. I always had the feeling that there was only a limited amount of wealth available and that, despite the hard work, the expenses would exceed the income to a disproportionate and distressing extent. This is why, when I first started to think about work, my main intention was to make my own money.
On the same topicQueen of the Month: FairForce
It's curious to look back at it now and think about the 16-year old me trying to find a way to monetize my very limited skills. I started tutoring other students, working in a bar, and delivering food for pizzerias and bistros in my area as soon as I got my driving license.
Looking back at it now, I realize that I never thought about myself in terms of having any "professional skills", but only as having "things I can do to get money". I did not have any "professional education", nor did I think of myself as containing a set of potential skills for the job market.
I only knew that work = cash, liquidity, independence.
Growing up in a working class family in a small provincial Italian town made it hard to be exposed to and know more about a world of work that went beyond that limited series of professions I could see in my surrounding area. No one really talked about work in the way I know it today. Back then and until my move to Berlin (at age 22) I thought about work merely as a way to get money, and gain agency.
School and university did not help either.
Acquiring knowledge, studying what I have studied (mostly literature, language, classic studies, philosophy and similar) and the way I got to study it never really offered any relation to the professional sphere.
I am not here to speculate about how much schools and universities (don't) prepare students for work, because the truth is that no schools and no universities can really prepare us for the real world of work.
What I want to talk about, in retrospect, is how much work and everything related to the creation of my professional identity was completely absent from my formative years, including in my formal education.
If I think about the presence of "work" in my younger years, I can see that there really wasn't any.
I never heard any of my professors talking about how they went from school to work. I never heard any of my older friends talking about how they created their own careers. I never had any conversations--until I was in Berlin--about how people applied for jobs, went through the interview process, or even thought about their professional roles, perhaps decided to do one instead of another.
Work was always there, like a given "life thing", but never really like a real "topic". And if it was, well… It appeared to be a difficult, hierarchical and unfair world, with little room to be happy and very little chance to develop what today I would call a sense of agency. I cannot talk about the development of my thinking on work without considering the very specific historical period in which it was formed .
I became a "young adult" in the times of 2008's economic recession.
I saw my dad's business collapse under the dramatic effects of an unprecedented economic crisis. I have experienced the loss, the uncertainty and the powerlessness of not knowing what the future would look like in the few months ahead.
Italy fell into a severe unemployment crisis. Work felt like a privilege, and a very precarious thing. Only a few categories of workers (and I couldn't even name any, to be honest) still had the privilege to choose their profession and develop a career out of their wishes and skills and not out of mere need to make money.
This is the context in which I came into my understanding about work.
This is how I came to think about work as something difficult, as something that and came from "outside," bearing little relation to one's personality and personal vision. It was also something I was supposed to think about later, after my education, after my graduation. Something accessed based on qualifications, after achieving a specific set of steps.
Work was a strict, inflexible world, where I would only have to adapt, follow the rules, learn the job, get the money and hope for the best circumstances. The goal was a safe salary, a long term employment agreement and the ability to make it last as long as my bills were covered and my basic needs secured.
When I graduated and moved to Berlin in 2015, I found a job with a long-term contract in only three months. I was 22.
You may think this is where everything began. And on one hand, it's true. But on the other hand, it's also where everything ended and was newly (or differently) reborn .
It was a decent job, my first job in Berlin, but it was also a job that gave me very little sense of purpose. It was a safe job, but it made me feel little and useless.
I remember finding myself thinking "I have achieved everything I was supposed to achieve: I work a job in line with my studies, I own a long-term contract and am decently paid. Yet, I am not happy. This is not what I want".
My first job experience, in a new country, in a completely different cultural and economic environment showed me that there were other ways to think about work and that I could shape my own idea of work in my own way.
I started to see other options, to hear about other people and career opportunities. I got to know a different economic system, and things that schools, universities and my family never even mentioned. I also realized that there could be more agency in how I thoughtand indeed I should think--about work. This agency would allow me to go beyond what I'd been taught and what I had previously believed about work.
Throughout this process, I have started to question the nature of my professional identity and my professional vision and in doing so, I have learned to think about work in new ways.
By working in different countries, at different ages, in different financial situations, I've come to think about work differently. In fact, extrapolating from my experience with work to work in general, I can say that perhaps how we think about work may not be how we really think about work at all.
It may be more about how we were raised and taught to think about our professional identity. In fact,how we think about work is likely the product of different beliefs and ideas inherited from school, family, society. It might very much depend on the models we had, the examples and conversations we were exposed to.
How we think about work might be a mirror and the result of so many intersectional aspects and have to do with other identity marks: our gender, our origin, our ethnicity, our culture, our religion, our country of origin, our system of beliefs, our class, our socio-economic status.
The set of elements and factors that make up our way of thinking about work can be what makes us unique and successful in our professional sphere. But, at the same time, it can also be something that blocks us from unlocking our potential and our ability to build a happier work idea in line with our values.
Everything that has contributed to building our idea of work could somehow simply be a reflection of what we have been told and taught.
So, it could be a series of assumptions and beliefs that takes us off-road when it comes to building a fulfilling career. The same success in the world of work may depend on the way we have been led to think about work itself. That is why it is important to try to reflect on our ways of thinking about work and always challenge ourselves and rebuild our ideas about work on the basis of our values and vision before we start building a career and a professional life.
How can we shape our internal narratives around work and think about the professional sphere in a way that leads to happiness?
First of all, it's important to consider this shift in terms of a holistic process. The most important requirement when it comes to this kind of transformation is to think about it as an ongoing process and to be willing to enjoy the journey and its roller coaster nature.
Secondly, it is crucial to begin with an unlearning process.
When it comes to exploring our mindset and beliefs, it is equally necessary to be open to questioning our main assumptions, re-evaluating our systems of forming concepts and staying curious about new realizations that come along the way.
Most importantly, asking questions about our professional identities does not mean completely destroying all the beliefs and models we have been previously exposed to. Nor does it mean imposing a unique "doctrine" of narratives that are trendy or strategic for the world of work as we know it today.
Rather, it means finding and refinding a synthesis comprising who we are, who we were and who we hope to become. It means exploring how much there is about us and our values and vision in the way we think about work and how much they matter in our professional vision.
It also means understanding whether we need to widen our thinking about work and our ideas of work and how we can integrate different influences and beliefs into a vision that is balanced and more aligned with our authentic personality.
The ultimate goal is to strengthen our sense of agency and create a new space for our own vision to be more relevant in the way we live within the professional sphere. This helps us become more intentional in how we design our career, how we look for jobs and also in how we create the tools to be more confident in how we want to be seen as professionals.
I understand that this might feel an overwhelming process, so I wanted to offer you some initial prompts to begin with.
If you have some time, why don't you start reflecting on the following questions:
What does work mean for me?
How do I feel when I think about work?
How did my parents / family talk about work?
What have I been taught in school / my education about work?
What was my first job? How did I feel? What did I look for?
What makes me happy and fulfilled at work?
What makes me feel insecure or unhappy when it comes to work and the professional sphere?
How could work be a better, healthier thing in my life?

Google+ Shutting Down: What You Need To Know To Save Your Data
Last updated on April 19, 2019 at 05:59 pm
A few weeks after Google announced that they would be shutting down Google Inbox, Google has announced that Google+ will be shut down in the next few months. This announcement came on the heels of a recently announced data breach that happened on the platform during March of this year.
Launched in 2010, Google+ was the latest attempt in creating a social media platform similar to Facebook. While it may not have been as successful as its competitors, Google+ still has a dedicated following through the communities that have been established. To prepare its users for the shutdown, Google has now created a process that allows users to be able to save and move their Google+ data. We'll be discussing this process, along with more details about the shutdown of Google's social media network.
One of the main reasons that Google+ will be shut down can be linked to the data breach that happened on the platform. Over 500,000 accounts had their personal and private information illegally shared without consent by a number of developers. This event happened on March 2018, which was during the same time that Facebook was under intense scrutiny due to the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, and months before GDPR was launched.
The most concerning part about this information was the fact that Google did not disclose the news for a number of months, which left a large number of profiles vulnerable. While Google has stated that none of the data was mishandled, data regulators would still point out that the breach was not informed to the public. This issue will most likely lead to investigations in the US and in Europe, which could definitely mean very busy months ahead for Google.
Small User Base
Another reason for shutting down Google+ is due to the low number of users on the platform. When it launched in 2011, people across the internet were already using Facebook and Twitter as their main social media platforms, both receiving a surge in the number of users. This meant that Google+ already has hefty competition when it comes to attracting users to their platform.
Despite having dedicated communities and users, their number is still eclipsed by other social media platforms. Initial attempts to get more users to include making Google+ as a way to log-in to Google services such as YouTube and Gmail, a feature that was eventually removed. In the past few years, Google+ has become a social media platform that caters to specific niches, becoming an alternative platform that is less crowded but has a more passionate community.
While many social media users across the world wouldn't bother too much on the shutting down of Google+, the small passionate communities in the soon to be gone platform are now looking for a new social media platform where they can recreate the sense of community.
The Shutdown and Saving of Data
Google+ will be shutting down in 10 months, which means that users would have to export their data out of the platform. To help users do this, Google launched a service called Takeout, which makes exporting data a much smoother and more efficient process. All you have to do is to log-in to your Google Account and begin the process of downloading your data.
You can select which datasets you would want to download, which includes, Google+, Hangouts, and +1s. Once you have selected the data, you can choose the file type and create the archive. This ensures that your data would not be permanently deleted once it shuts down.
Launched with so much promise of being a viable competitor to Facebook, Google+ ended up as a social media platform with a declining user base, seemingly left out compared to the rest of Google's other tools and services. Despite having a dedicated community, it is very unfortunate that Google's foray into social media ends on a low note, as it could have been able to do so much more with the right support.
With this shutdown, it might take time before Google attempts to create another social media platform, as they are busy with other services, such as Google Project Stream, and developing their AI technology. Google+ remains as another Google project that did not take off and joins a list of services that the company has shut down

How Long Did It Take To Build The Great Wall Of China (And Why)?
Exact Answer: 20 Years
Ever felt like traveling somewhere for an adventure. Then do not miss out on traveling to the Great Wall of China. Till the present, China has made many awful operations to harm other countries. Meanwhile, it also has some treasures to offer like the incredible Great Wall of China.
How Long Did It Take To Build The Great Wall of China?
Why Did It Take That Long To Build The Great Wall Of China?
Often included in the lists of Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Wall of China is one of the famous monuments in the world. The wall weaving through China's countryside carries many stories and oddities that are barely known.
The Great Wall of China became the UNESCO World Heritage site in December 1987.
Process Period
Construction of the Great Wall of China 20 years
Whole plan (including finishing) More than 22 years
There are several famous monuments situated in different parts of the world. They were built by great personalities in the past. There exist some stories and reasons behind the construction of these famous monuments.
The Great Wall of China is in northern China and the Central Plains. The exact location of the wall is at Mutianyu, northeast of Beijing. It extends about 7300 kilometers from the Shanhai Pass on the east coast to the Jiayu Pass in modern Gansu province.
The original Great Wall of China was built around 2000 years ago, in 221 BC under the rule of Emperor Qin. The most extensive and best-preserved Great Wall was built during the Ming Dynasty (between 1368 and 1644). The Great Wall had been built over many years by the successive dynasties.
How Long Does It Take To Walk The Great Wall Of China (And Why)?
How Long Is The Great Wall Of China (And Why)?
How Long Did It Take To Build The Great Pyramid (And Why)?
The original wall is believed to have been built over approximately 20 years. The wall that is mainly in evidence today, was built during the Ming dynasty, over around 2000 years.
To construct this great wall, thousands of people were involved.
The wall was constructed by the laborers consisting of soldiers, criminals, and the people. By analyzing the records, around 300,000 soldiers and 500,000 common people were involved in constructing the original Great Wall under Emperor Qin.
Many people sacrificed their lives during the construction work, and archaeologists have discovered many human remains buried under the sections of the wall.
A popular and well-known story of the Great Wall of China is "Meng Jiangnu's Bitter Weeping", which tells of a woman whose husband got killed in the construction of the wall. Her tears were so bitter that a section of the wall collapsed to reveal her husband's body so she could make a funeral and later killed herself in desperation.
China has several beautiful monuments but, the Great Wall is the most beautiful one. It was successfully constructed with the help of hard work, dedication, and sacrifices of the people. It is believed that over 1 million soldiers were safeguarding the great wall against the neighbors during the Ming dynasty.
Talking about the wall, it is not a continuous line. It contains spurs going in different directions and pauses where mountains or lakes offer protection. There was also a popular myth that the great wall can be seen from space with the help of a high-tech lens.
The purpose of the construction of the Great Wall is to protect China from barbarian invasion or attacks by the northern tribes such as the Mongols. The Wall included a series of watchtowers and forts that would house the soldiers, grains, and weapons.
The wall was built from different materials over centuries. The earlier wall during the Qin dynasty was made of compacted earth, surrounded by local stone.
There was much use of local materials to lower the costs and enable the building to continue quickly. The last Ming wall was built largely of bricks.
The Great Wall, situated in China, is one of the most beautiful places and is mesmerizing to the eyes during spring and autumn fall. To avoid the heat, crowds, and freezing conditions, people don't travel in the summer and winter seasons.
The flowers and plants in Beijing's mountains make the Walls look more beautiful. Today many tourists visit the Great Wall and walk along it to enjoy its beauty. It is due to the hard work and sacrifices of the people in the construction of the wall which paid off.

From Potato to Packet: Walkers Crisps As You've Never Seen Them Before
By Newsroom on October 11, 2013 Comments Off on From Potato to Packet: Walkers Crisps As You've Never Seen Them Before
To mark the launch of Farmershub.co.uk, the new site dedicated to the latest news and debate from the British farming community, PepsiCo UK has built an animated, sustainable sculpture, combining photography and video to tell the story behind Walkers crisps.
The animation was created by Royal College of Arts graduate, Sarah Beeby, and captures the journey a potato makes from field to packet, highlighting some of innovative sustainability initiatives PepsiCo uses in the creation of the nation's favourite crisps.
The film uses a range of animation techniques, such as hinged flipbook and a working zoetrope, to bring the process of how Walkers make their crisps, to life. In order to reflect the themes of sustainability in the story, Beeby crafted the sculpture from recycled materials such as second hand jeans, old bike tyres and reclaimed wood.
The potato field featured in the animation is modelled on the design of a Zoetrope, to capture the natural movements in the fields, including the shifting clouds and a hare which made its way into the shot. To simulate the movement of potatoes growing, a rotating wooden block with images of different stages of a potato's growth were attached to all four sides of the blocks and then spun every five frames.
The quality check stage of the potato to packet story was captured via an adaption of the mutoscope, an early motion picture device, before moving onto the potatoes' journey, by road, to the Walkers site. This section was inspired by the knock on effect typically seen in a Rube Goldberg machine.
The 'road' that the PepsiCo truck travels down is made from second hand tyres which is both in keeping with the theme of transportation at this stage and the overall idea of sustainability. In the final stage, documentary footage is shown to illustrate the inside of the Walkers site where the crisps are made. Second hand plumbing pipes and wooden blocks are also used to give authenticity to the working dynamics of a crisp site.
The animation is featured on Farmershub.co.uk, the new online community for the nation's potato, oats and apple farmers to showcase best practice and discuss the most pressing issues for British Agriculture.

Q: Calling a function with uninitalized struct variable as a parameter doesn't produce a warning I have the following code in c++:
#include <iostream>

typedef struct Pair{
  int x;
  int y;
}Pair;

void dumFun(Pair p){}

int main() {
    Pair p;

    if (0){
      p = {1,2};
    }

    dumFun(p);
    return 0;
}

When I compiled the code, I expected to get a warning for the line with dumFun(p) since I'm calling a function with an uninitialized variable.
What I actually want is that my Makefile will give me warning for uninitialized scalar variable issues that I see with the tool Coverity.
Tried to use flag -Wall and I thought it shows warnings for unused variables usage as this - but it doesn't.
Is there any flag to use on a Makefile that will show me warning for the line I wrote above?

A: You did not tell the compiler, but at least in Clang there is no warning that would catch this. -Weverything shows all possible warnings, and you can use it to find the specific parameter needed to trigger each warning. Demonstration with -Weverything shows no warnings.
I did not find a suitable parameter in GCC either.

Every year our pack plans one big trip, like Space Camp or spending the night at an Aquarium, where we get a chance to get away from Atlanta and do something memorable that the kids might not get a chance to do otherwise. This year takes to Patriots Point in Charleston, home of the USS Yorktown.
Eating in the Yorktown mess hall, sleeping in the Yorktown bunks, a tour of the ship, an educational oceanography session, and more! See the attached Overnight Camping brochure for details.
Patriot's Point is located at 40 Patriots Point Rd, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464, about 330 miles (5+ hours) east of Marietta (https://goo.gl/maps/SieEzWuTomP2). We are attending Saturday, March 10 through Sunday, March 11. Our entire group much check in by 11am, so please on arriving by no later than 10:30am Saturday morning. Many people leave Friday night and spend the night in Charleston so they're not rushed Saturday morning.
How Much Is It, and How do I Sign Up?
The cost for overnight stay is $76 per person, whether they're an adult or child. Please note that only those who are 6 or older at the time of the stay may attend.
The Patriots Point team has said that their goal is to have one adult of the same gender as each child attending. They know this goal isn't possible for a group like ours, but families with more children than adults may want to consider inviting a grandparent or aunt/uncle along, and families with more adults than children attending, please let me know if you'd be willing to volunteer to offset one of the extra children. In any case, every child should be supervised at all times while at the Yorktown.
First: reply back with an email to let me know! I'd love to know the number of people and your scout's den for planning purposes, and to follow up if I don't hear from you later. There will also be an event on the scoutbook calendar you can follow. These things are helpful, but won't sign you up.
Second and More Importantly: Fill out the attached form, and bring it with payment (cash, or check made out to "Pack 675") on December 1st at the next pack meeting. I (Bryan Davis, your friendly Camping Coordinator) will be waiting in the adult room to take your signup form and payment. Please fill out the form and bring it with you along with your payment, ready to go. It really keeps the line moving if people aren't filling out forms or writing checks at the table.

We are focused on making wine with grapes grown from locations we think have an ideal climate, soil and growing conditions for each particular grape. In our minimalist approach, we believe wine quality should be determined predominantly by the quality of the grapes.
Our goal is to create easy to approach unpretentious wines that will appeal to people based on their personal taste and preference.
Wine is for everyone, it doesn't need to be fussy, it should be fun!
Their origin began on a vineyard just blocks away from Origin Wines. Both from the Okanagan, Blake is from the Naramata bench and Daiya is from the Black Sage bench.
They have dreamt of a vineyard and winery for many years, feeling the pull back to the Okanagan and back to their roots. Putting the plan into motion in 2009 they have slowly built their way towards the winery, piece by piece.
Their relationship began with an interest in wine and turning their passion into a reality is their dream come true.

Special issue of Matériaux et Techniques devoted to SAM-12
Jean-Pierre Birat
IF Steelman, Semécourt, France
aChairman of the scientific committee of SAM conferences
The 12th edition of the Society and Materials conferences, SAM-12, took place in Metz, France from 23 to 24 May, 2018. This special issue of Matériaux et Techniques collects 9 papers presented during this meeting. These papers can be regarded as highlights of the conference, in as far as they deal with some of the main topics that were discussed during these two days.
SAM conferences are dedicated to the exploration of the interdisciplinary boundaries related to materials and their connection with society, the environment and nature. They try to analyze how anthroposphere, biosphere and geosphere interact. They propose new approaches, new methodologies and act as a laboratory for new thinking in the area.
One boundary between the spheres is related to Materials and Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH):
the paper by Jean-Pierre Birat explores the matter of environmental ethics, which is the contribution of ethics and philosophy for fleshing out the concepts of sustainable development, which the material community has adopted wholeheartedly, of the circular economy, of the responsibilities for pollution, of the nature of pollution, etc. [1];
Michael Kohlgrüber et al. [2] discuss the topic of social innovation and show how impowering the future users of a new technology in the workplace to engage in process innovation accelerates its implementation and its time-to-market. It also speeds up the Social Life-Cycle of that particular innovation (the concept is defined in the previous paper).
Another boundary is related to Materials and policymaking, activism and strategic, geopolitical analysis, i.e. to politics:
thus, Romain Allais and Julie Grobert [3] explore systemic change, which other would call technological breakthroughs or paradigm shifts, in order to deal with the extreme danger to nature that human activities pose in the 21st century;
in a slightly different register, Volodymyr Shatokha explores how development and environmental challenges question the future of the steel industry in Ukraine [4].
Saicha Gerbinet et al. deal with the effect of heavy metals on human toxicity, another boundary between biosphere and anthroposphere, as far as Life is concerned [5]. They do it in the framework of LCA and in connection with agricultural production and show how the methodology introducing toxicology in LCA is still difficult to use and may easily lead to the wrong conclusions regarding the nocivity of some particular toxicant.
Another paper, by Nathanael Ko et al. explores the limits of LCA in the case of space debris, generated at the end of life of satellites and other spacecrafts [6]. What kind of impact ought to be defined? When is a threshold reached for a Kessler syndrome, i.e. the situation when debris become so numerous that a collision will cause a catastrophic series of more collisions?
Next comes a set of papers, which discuss the fate of the minor elements in metals flows, elements which are usually overlooked. They explore how to take this matter into account through MFA methodology. Thus, Kenichi Nakajima et al. on one hand [7] and Zhengyang Zhang et al., on the other hand [8], stress the point that the best way to make sure rare elements are reused in the economy is no so much recycling per se, but the remanufacturing of the goods which include them. The flow analysis is carried out using the MaTrace-alloy model, but practical solutions to extend the life of goods are also explored.
A final paper by Colla et al. shows a practical application of energy optimization to reduce environmental impact in a steel mill, by managing its internal gas resources in a subtle way [9].
As a complement to the selected papers published in this issue, the complete program of the conference is found in Appendix A.

Planning a wedding can be stressful and overwhelming to some people. For a wedding to run smoothly and without hitch, it is important that you keep your finger on the pulse of organization, and this means being aware of everything that is going on. The information contained in this article will help you plan the wedding of your dreams.
TIP! If you choose to take care of your own food serving at your wedding, try going to wholesale stores, such as Costco. Wholesale prices are generally lower.
A wedding dress is a big expense. When you are shopping, try getting a dress that might not be traditionally thought of as one made for a wedding. A dress for other occasions, such as holiday parties, can sometimes work for a wedding dress, and will usually cost a lot less. Besides, you can have a dress altered and still likely spend less than you would have on a wedding dress.
You have to think about transportation when it comes to your wedding. If anyone needs a ride to or from their hotel for the event, you should arrange limos or taxis. This is also helpful for anyone who was drinking at the reception.
Tell your DJ about songs you like and songs you dislike. If you hate a specific song or a genre, such as heavy metal or country, you don't want that played at your wedding reception. Whatever music you hate, you don't want to hear it at your wedding!
Instead of choosing an expensive, towering wedding cake, choose several tiers of mini tarts or decadent cupcakes. This will make things very convenient for you. Guests can pick up their cupcake as they leave.
TIP! Try renting diamonds if you're on a tight budget with your wedding. You will look stunning but won't have to spend a lot, so your budget stays intact.
Schedule your reception for midday. You will find that people are not so ready to drink heavily during the day, which will cut back on the costs of an open bar. Lunch receptions tend to be cheaper than dinner ones because of a possible lower need for alcohol. That money can then be used for other wedding expenses.
If you want a relative or friend to officiate the wedding, they can get ordained online. While having someone special officiate makes the ceremony truly yours, it also has the additional perk of allowing you to redirect the money for something else, such as flowers. Make sure this is a legal practice in your state before you get somebody ordained.
Silk flowers can be a different variety of flowers you could choose for your wedding. Because they're synthetic, you don't have to wait until the last minute to purchase them, eliminating your concerns about floral arrangements on your wedding day.
TIP! Check around for photographers who have glowing credentials. Having your wedding ruined by bad pictures isn't what you're aiming for.
TIP! Fashionable and luxury-loving brides can choose to embellish their bouquet with a touch of sparkle; think Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, and even a sprinkle of diamonds. You can do this by attaching small crystals, costume jewelry, or perhaps a special piece of jewelry with some kind of adhesive.
Gift registries are traditionally associated with weddings. To ensure a more pleasant event, make sure your guests know that a gift is not a requirement. Also give them a wide variety of possible gift options. Your guests should feel that their gifts, no matter how modest, are welcomed and appreciated.
Use flowers that are different heights when decorating centerpieces. Put taller flowers in tall vases with compact heads. Peonies and hydrangeas are wonderful flowers to incorporate. Make sure the fuller, shorter flowers are lighter than the more prominent, taller blooms.
To aid in preparation for the first dance as a married couple, practice dancing together while you are wearing a long skirt or dress. Even though walking and dancing in a long garment may seem normal to you, your future husband may feel differently. This will help him adjust to dancing with you in your dress and prevent any awkwardness, especially if your gown is particularly full at the bottom.
Hopefully, the tips from above have helped you to determine the course of your wedding and will make for smooth sailing while planning your wedding. Bear in mind all you have read in this article, and you can successfully plan a wedding that functions smoothly for all involved.


What is Vodafone Superfast broadband?
Superfast Broadband is broadband delivered over fibre optic technology and is capable of delivering very high speeds of up to 100Mbs, which means you can access online content instantly with speeds never before possible in Qatar.
A fibre optic network is a network built with fibre optical cable and is used to transmit large amounts of data quickly. It's made of hair-thin glass fibres which transport light along its network. This will allow us to bring you even more robust set of broadband and home phone services.
What I have to do to apply for Vodafone Superfast Broadband?
- You are the owner or have a valid lease of a property you want to connect.
- Have a valid Qatari ID.
- Have a Kahramaa ID.
When signing a 3 month commitment period your connection and router will be FREE. Otherwise you will pay a one-off connection charge of QR 399 and QR 299 for the router.
After signing up for the service we will send a technician out to your home to set up your new broadband service.
What if I cancelled the service before the commitment period?
Cancellation of the service prior to 3 months will result in all applicable charges due and payable for the entire t minimum service period. This includes installation, router and your plan costs.
Some extra wiring may be required to co-locate power points and some equipment. The work required is managed on a case-by-case basis by our technicians who will inform you when they visit your property.
Will I be charged for moving service plans?
No charges will apply for upgrading your service plans.
For downgrading the services or plan a charge of QR 100 will be added to your bill.
A moving home request will cost QR 199 and will be added to your bill.
Are there any other charges I need to be aware of?
If you misuse your router and it needs a replacement, then you will be charged for a new router again, which is QR 299 & the installation which is QR399.
What are the available speeds for Vodafone Superfast broadband?
We offer connection speeds ranging from 20 to 200 Mbps.
For more information about our plans and speeds click here.
Can I use fibre services without a Vodafone Home Phone service?
Yes, however it's important to note that with every Vodafone Superfast Broadband plan on the fibre network you also get access to our Home Phone services for no extra charge. This comes with additional benefits such as free local and mobile calling to Vodafone numbers.
We will connect customers to our network at their subscribed internet speeds. It is important to note there are some external factors outside of our control which can impact customer speeds. All speeds are provided in an "up to" capacity. We will connect your service at your subscribed speed however some of the content you access, within and outside of the country, may not support such high speeds. Customers signing up to 100Mbps connections also need to have Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to achieve over 100Mbps.
What's the difference between a direct cable (Ethernet) and Wi-Fi?
A direct cable (Ethernet) connection will provide the greatest speed however it won't provide freedom to connect in multiple areas within your home. Wi-Fi connections enable the possibilities of connecting to the internet wherever you receive coverage. It's important to note that Wi-Fi speeds and coverage can vary depending on your home's construction.

St. Mary's College's Anthropology Department to Host Prof. Martin Gallivan for Visiting Anthropologist Speaker series
The St. Mary's College of Maryland Anthropology Department will host Professor Martin Gallivan, College of William & Mary, for the lecture "The Powhatan Landscape" on Wednesday, Nov. 1 at 4:15 p.m. in Cole Cinema, Campus Center. The event is free of charge and open to the public.
The presentation will offer a new perspective on Chesapeake history by tracing the Native past from the arrival of Algonquian forager-fishers to the rise of the Powhatan chiefdom. The goal will be to shift the frame of reference from English accounts of colonial events toward a longer narrative of Algonquians' construction of places, communities, and connections in between. The archaeological record indicates that scholars' attentiveness to the English arrival in the Chesapeake has concealed a deeper, indigenous past in Tsenacomacoh, the Algonquian term for Tidewater Virginia.
St. Mary's College of Maryland is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education through 2024-2025. St. Mary's College, designated the Maryland state honors college in 1992, is ranked one of the best public liberal arts schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Approximately 1,600 students attend the college, nestled on the St. Mary's River in Southern Maryland.

25 years ago, my husband and I bought an 18th century sea captain's house on the coast of Maine. We found a bit of faded stenciling on a plaster wall buried under modern day wallpaper. Such a revelation! and the beginning of research and practice of this art. I replicated stencils from the era and used them on stair-risers and the passageway between the dining room and library.
Later, we bought and renovated a 19th century saltwater farm; again, the wall art of stencils was used to provide a bit of interest to small spaces.
Now, we are settled in a 20th century house and I am combining my enjoyment of handwork, stencil art, color, and fibre. Linen is the fabric of choice because of its beauty, and the texture is reminiscent of the plaster walls early Americans decorated 300 years ago.
I thank my grandmother and mother for teaching me handcrafts early on and instilling the beauty & wonder of creativity.

A cataract is an abnormal accumulation of proteins clouding the lens of your eye. The lens is responsible for directing incoming light to the retina at the back of your eye. Unless the lens can clearly "see" light reflected off objects in your visual field, the retina is unable to send understandable image signals to your optic nerve and brain. When cataracts become thick enough, clouding of your vision occurs because light entering the eye is blocked or distorted. Since early to middle stage cataracts typically do not cause symptoms, the only way to know if you have cataracts is to have your eye doctor exam your eyes at least once a year. In addition, cataracts remain invisible until they thicken and interfere noticeably with your vision.
How Do Eye Doctors Treat Cataracts?
Some people with cataracts never need to have their cataracts removed because they never cause vision impairment. Others will need to have them removed surgically. Cataract treatment is a minimally invasive, commonly performed procedure involving your eye surgeon removing the old lens and cataracts and replacing the old lens with synthetic intraocular lens. Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure requiring no hospital stay. Recovery time is around 24 to 48 hours.
Silicone or acrylic intraocular lenses are coated with special materials to protect your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet rays, a primary reason for cataract development. Three kinds of IOLs are available: monofocal, multifocal and accommodative. Monofocal intraocular lenses offer a single focusing distance while multifocal IOLs provide near and distance focusing powers for people with refractive errors. Accommodative IOLs change shape or move within the eye to permit focusing at various distances. If you have astigmatism, you might consider astigmatic intraocular lenses to correct or reduce the severity of astigmatism. Your eye doctor will recommend the type of intraocular lens best suited to your vision needs during your pre-surgery exam and consultation.
Over 95 percent of people undergoing cataract removal and intraocular lens replacement enjoy fully restored vision. If your old lens is replaced with a multifocal lens or accommodative lens, your vision may even improve beyond what your past visual abilities.
If you are suffering from cloudy, blurry vision and haven't had an eye exam lately, please call our office today at 408-739-6200 to schedule an appointment with an optometrist.

Angel Vampire Names
Now in this case when we say Angel Vampire Names, we're talking about the Angel TV show - you know, the Buffy spin-off series? Not necessarily celestial beings from the heavens. Okay, so now that we have that straightened out, just how familiar are you with the wild and outrageous cast of characters from the show?
If you're already a Buffy the Vampire Slayer Show fan, then you're going to see some overlap in the cast of character names. But you will see some character names that are entirely new to this show too.
Either way, you will again see some really interesting names - some fairly normal and some that were more old school. But most were fairly unique and not something that you hear someone called everyday.
So, are you ready to look at the list below? Quick, how many can you remember? Several of them? A few of them? Any of them at all? Let's see just how many you can remember.
Some characters were good, some really bad, while some characters - who knew from time to time what they would be? Some easily went back and forth between good and bad. And if you are looking for vampire baby names as suggestions for your own child (or pet maybe), then you will find some great suggestions here.
Now I'll be the first to tell you that we won't list every character who ever appeared on the Angel TV Show (that would just be too crazy) but I will attempt to list the names of all the major characters - with special attention and detail placed on all the vampires and supernatural creatures that appeared on the show.
But if you are seriously looking for a different kind of name - something unusual for a little baby boy or baby girl, or maybe even for your new pet, then many of the suggestions you'll find below from the list might be just what you are looking for. So good luck browsing for your next little Lyla, Doyle, Darla or Fred. But you just might want to think on it long and hard before you name anything Angelus!

How Far Should a Decorative Rod Extend Out From a Window Frame?
Curtains soften the look of a room.
Curtains are the jewelry of a room; they can make or break your room's style, so hanging them right is crucial. With this in mind, you can either follow the general guidelines or intentionally break them to make the most of your space.
You should leave enough room at the outside of the window frame for your curtain to completely gather without hanging in front of the frame. For the average curtain panel, about 48- to 56-inches wide, that translates to around 10- to 15-inches of rod extension beyond the window frame.
If you want to make your window look bigger, extend the rod a few inches further and bunch the curtains a little more loosely to create the illusion of a larger window. To hide an ugly or damaged window frame, hang the rod a few inches shorter and allow the curtains to cover the frame.

Belmont Launches New Hospitality and Tourism Management Major
Program supports growing, diverse industries in Middle Tennessee
Haley Charlton
With a record 343,000 people taking to the streets of Downtown Nashville for the Fourth of July celebrations, it is evident the city's growth and development in the hospitality and tourism industries are not slowing down. Belmont is working to fill an all-time high demand for professionals in this area by incorporating a new Hospitality and Tourism Management major into the Jack C. Massey College of Business.
In recent years, Nashville has seen unprecedented growth in the field of travel and tourism. Data from the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corporation shows direct visitor spending at more than $6.5 billion a year in 2017, and there was a record 15.2 million visitors in 2018. This historic growth has fostered the opening and development of 15 new hotels since 2016, with many more on the horizon. With approximately 70,000 jobs in the Nashville tourism sector, Belmont has a prime opportunity to utilize the vibrant surrounding city to train students to be leaders in the industry.
Belmont Provost Dr. Thomas Burns said the new major is good for both students and the community. "We are excited to offer our students new opportunities for innovative learning experiences through the Hospitality and Tourism Management major. We are essentially creating a pipeline of high-quality employees that will benefit the local business community, as well," he said. "The Nashville tourism industry is booming. We want to make sure our students are prepared to take advantage of all of the opportunities right here in our backyard."
The new major will integrate business, liberal arts and public relations courses to create a unique program and professional degree, giving students an in-depth curriculum that also tackles the legal, financial and marketing tools needed to be successful in the field.
For the required 30 credit hours, students can choose a Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) or a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) route. Unlike other collegiate hospitality programs that focus solely on hands-on skills, Belmont strategically placed the major in the college of business to provide a foundational understanding of all facets of business while still offering access to experiential educational opportunities and front-line internships.
Developed jointly between faculty in the College of Business and the University's Sports Administration program, this major will be unique in its course offerings. For students pursuing the B.B.A., courses will cover higher-level management, accounting, public relations, marketing and finance, and the program will provide a wealth of internship opportunities. Students pursuing the B.S. option will have a built-in minor, which could be another area of business or a program outside of the business school. The B.S. option allows for more flexibility in choosing supplemental courses, such as an emphasis in entrepreneurship or a foreign language.
Associate Dean of the College of Business Stan York said the degree would help students no matter which route they decide to follow, whether they long to become a CEO or head up the food and beverage services for a major hotel.
"It is part of what we do here at Belmont. It's a lot like music business. This major gives you the tools you need to do the behind-the-scenes work," he said. "This major dovetails nicely with Belmont's academic offerings in sports administration, music business and entertainment because all of those fields usually come with some type of hospitality."
Reflecting the diversity of the profession, graduates will be qualified and prepared for corporate management positions in a variety of areas, such as convention and visitors' bureaus, destination management organizations, conference centers, resorts, hotels, entertainment venues and restaurants. With the available course options, students may also build the skill sets of business planning and raising capital to undertake an entrepreneurial venture.
"Where do they want to be? Students could minor in a foreign language and take advantage of our robust study abroad programs at Belmont, then maybe end up in Brussels or Paris," said York. "The robust relationships we can call upon for internships at local organizations also set us apart. By the time the students leave, they have a good understanding of this industry, and it is more than a look at it—it is applied."
Capitalizing on the success of undergraduate and graduate programs in Sports Administration and the reputation of the Jack C. Massey College of Business, faculty will encourage students to think about long-term career advancement. Their hope is that courses such as lodging management would help students start with some leadership responsibilities, and then move up more quickly into management positions. Whether in marketing, finance or event management, there are huge opportunities.

AUDIA offers a wide range of individual hearing solutions, with products in the fields of earmould, ear protection, in-ear monitoring and hearing aids from Bruckhoff.
A team of over 100 works at AUDIA, ensuring smooth operations in all areas.
hearing care professionals trust the know-how and products of AUDIA AKUSTIK – both domestically and internationally.
We manufacture each individual earmould as a unique item. Made in Sömmerda – Made in Germany.
years of commercial success, AUDIA is one of the largest earmould manufacturers in Germany.
Because only those who listen well can offer the hearing solutions that are in demand on the market.
Passion has always been our driving force and guiding principle.
AUDIA was born at the site in the German town of Kölleda, in a former polyclinic. At first, just four shareholders and one employee. The product range included HdO and IO hearing aids, as well as earmoulds and hearing protection.
After just one year, the workforce increased to 11. This is when partnership with Hansaton Akustik began.
The gradual introduction of digital hearing aids, e.g. "Trimant" – the first hearing aid with digital programming – began.
The old business premises had become too small and AUDIA moved into the self-financed current company building on Franz-Mehring-Strasse in Sömmerda. The number of employees grew to 50. In addition, an investment was made in a laser stereolithography manufacturing line.
AQ technology was launched – a charging process that enables contactless charging of hearing aids. It received the iF product award.
Know-how was pooled, the company was re-established and from then on it put all of its passion, knowledge and skills into the fields that it does best: Earmoulds, hearing protection and in-ear-monitoring. Individuality and diversity were the key focus.
At the end of the year, one of the founding fathers of the company, Helmut Steinbrecher, left. He was followed by Thilo Dittes, together with Lutz Kupper.
AUDIA took over the business operations of Bruckhoff Hannover GmbH. Bruckhoff has been producing innovative hearing solutions and medical devices since 1981. It is particularly well-known for its unique combination of hearing aid and glasses in the field of bone and air conduction hearing aids.
Bruckhoff creates significant value for AUDIA AKUSTIK GMBH with its know-how in the mentioned areas and its range of hearing products on offer.
Enjoying continued success on the market, AUDIA celebrated its 25th anniversary. The company now has over 100 employees and has grown into one of the largest earmould manufacturers in Germany.

Q: Active directory won't replicate permissions in sharepoint wss 3.0 I have WSS 3, AD is setup with users, those users are added to the WSS 3 site, I can login with any of the AD users, but if they have a permission level lower than "system administrator" they can't access a folder or item in that folder. How do I get lower permissions to replicate?

A: SharePoint Permissions are seperate to AD permissions - you will need to set permissions on the SharePoint site/list to give access to an AD (or SharePoint) group that the users do belong to.
