ADNOC hires Morgan Stanley veteran Klaus Froehlich as CIO
Froehlich spent 16 years working at Morgan Stanley in Europe and the Middle East
Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC), the state-owned energy giant that's using its assets to attract foreign investors, appointed former Morgan Stanley banker Klaus Froehlich as chief investment officer.
Froehlich started in his new role at the end of June, replacing Michele Fiorentino who left earlier this year, according to a person with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified because the matter is private.
Froehlich spent 16 years working at Morgan Stanley in Europe and the Middle East. He was head of investment banking in the Middle East and North Africa until 2014 and more recently joined Saudi Arabia's Binladin Group as chief financial officer.
A representative for ADNOC wasn't immediately available to comment.
ADNOC is leading Abu Dhabi's efforts to raise cash by selling stakes in its energy assets to investors such as Blackrock Inc. and KKR & Co.
ADNOC last month sold a $10.1bn stake in its natural-gas pipelines to a group of six investors including Global Infrastructure Partners, Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and Singapore's sovereign wealth fund. It also sold part of its oilfield services and distribution units.

Like other oil-exporting economies in the region, Abu Dhabi – the UAE's capital and largest emirate – faces the challenge of boosting oil revenues in the face of a supply surplus and the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Brent crude has more than doubled since late April as more economies re-open, but at around $43 a barrel, the benchmark is still down 35 per cent this year.
UAE production slid to 2.43 million barrels a day in June, according to Bloomberg data.
That compares with an average of more than 3 million barrels a day last year, before the OPEC+ producer alliance cut output to bolster the market.

Vinogradov, Ivan Matveevich | Article about Vinogradov, Ivan Matveevich by The Free Dictionary
https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Vinogradov%2c+Ivan+Matveevich
Vinogradov, Ivan Matveevich
Born Sept. 2 (14), 1891, in the village of Miroliub, now in Velikie Luki Raion, Pskov Oblast. Soviet mathematician. Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (1929). Hero of Socialist Labor (1945).
Vinogradov was born into the family of a village priest. Upon graduating from the University of St. Petersburg (1914) he was kept on at the university to prepare for the rank of professor. Between 1918 and 1920 he was a docent and a professor at the University of Perm' and between 1920 and 1934 a professor at the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute and Leningrad University. In 1932 he became director of the V. A. Steklov Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. His works are devoted to the analytical theory of numbers. Vinogradov has solved problems considered inaccessible to the mathematics of the early 20th century. He originated the method of trigonometric sums, one of the most powerful and general methods of the analytical theory of numbers. Almost all problems of the analytical theory of numbers are rather simply formulated in the language of finite sums of terms of the form cos F(X1,....,xn) + i sin F(X1,....., xn), where F is a real integral function and i = √-1. Thus, the main task in many problems becomes a matter of studying such sums and, in particular, of obtaining as exact an estimate for the module of such sums as possible. By taking advantage of the profound arithmetic properties of the sums studied, Vinogradov obtained unusually powerful estimates of the module of a broad class of such sums. This method enabled Vinogradov to obtain the best possible basic results for a whole series of problems of the theory of numbers in such classic problems as Waring's problem, the Hilbert-Kamke problem, and Weyl's problem of the evaluation of sums (1934-35). Another result of the method (1935-37) was the solution of a number of additive problems with simple numbers and, in particular, the solution of Goldbach's problem. Vinogradov's methods have become standard and are being developed and used by many scientists in various branches of mathematics. Vinogradov is an honorary member of the London Royal Society (1942) and many other scientific institutions and societies of the world. He has been awarded the M. V. Lomonosov Gold Medal (1971), the State Prize of the USSR (1941), four Orders of Lenin, and various medals.

Q: Calculate height of iTextSharp PDF document? How can I calculate the height of the PDF document when using iTextSharp?

I'm using iTextSharp to position various images on a PDF document using Absolute Position. However I've noticed SetAbsolutePosition() positions the Y parameter from the bottom, so I need to calculate the height to be able to do something like:
Y = PdfHeight - i

A: You should be able to do that by using the PageSize, like this...
int yPos = pdfDocument.PageSize.Height - i - elementHeight;

i = the position you would set Y if it was from the top of the page
elementHeight = the height of the element you are positioning (e.g. an image)

Former NFL player Nick Lowery sounds off on league grant for research how cannabis could help concussions
By Steve Nielsen
Former NFL player sounds off on league grant for research how cannabis could help concussions
Amid Super Bowl month, officials with the NFL say they are giving $1 million in funding to investigate the effects of cannabinoids on pain management, as well as its impact on concussion. FOX 10's Steve Nielsen spoke with former NFL player Nick Lowery on how this could help keep future athletes safe.
PHOENIX - CTE and concussions in football have been topics for years, and NFL officials have made some major changes to the rules, as well as helmet technology.
Now, during Super Bowl month, officials with the league announce that they are putting big bucks towards research on cannabis, with officials giving $1 million in funding to investigate the effects of cannabinoids on pain management and reducing the amount and severity of concussions.
"This is a very important step," said Nick Lower, a former All-Pro kicker. "The NFL and Player's Association are embracing this, and we can only do more to protect the next generation of athletes and life athletes as well."
Lowery, a seven-time All-Pro NFL kicker, now spends his time making sure future athletes can be safe playing the sport he loves.
"These helmets were really terrible," said Lowery. "They hardly provided any security whatsoever, so helmets have indeed improved a lot, but they never can do what we can do by protecting the neurons in the brain."
In 2018, Lowery appeared on FOX 10 to talk about the burgeoning science of CBD, and how oil from cannabis could help with concussions and CTE. Now, research funding is catching up.
"As important as helmets are, how the neurons protect themselves is far more important," said Lowery.
Lowery is a spokesperson for Neuropathix, which also announced a $3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study a derivative of cannabis to treat neuropathic pain. The research will be critical in determine a future for CBD in the NFL.
Lowery believes CBD can not just help protect a brain, but also help with the pain of concussions.

Springsteen's new memoir, 'Born To Run,' is here, one, two, three, four! The Boss opens up about his early years and dealing with depression in the new book out Tuesday Check out this story on Freep.com: http://on.freep.com/2dsKvjq

'Born To Run' cover jacket of memoir by Bruce Springsteen.(Photo: Amazon.com)
The arrival of Bruce Springsteen's memoir this week is being treated like the discovery of an American rock 'n roll Rosetta Stone, and rightly so.
Acclaimed novelist Richard Ford has reviewed it for the New York Times, while New York Times op-ed columnist David Brooks has waxed eloquent on it for the Atlantic.This is as it should be, because the emotion-stirring nature of Springsteen's music has always been serious. His famously long concerts are the effort of a serious entertainer. Even "Born To Run," the song guaranteed to induce solo car singing in the shyest of people, is a serious scream of escape to a new life set to a throbbing, kickbutt melody.
► Related: Bruce Springsteen sums up 30-year depression battle with car metaphor
Thus it will be necessary to set aside Tuesday, the book's release date, as national Begin Reading 'Born To Run' Day. The memoir named for Springsteen's defining anthem is expected to offer a sense of healing along with a ticket into Springsteen's deepest thoughts – and the legacy of youthful hurt and hope that drove his ambition. "People who choose rock and roll as their vocation are usually trying to break free from constraints, to smash things, to stir up a little turmoil in their souls. Springsteen entered a world of chaos and turned to guitars and amplifiers and lyrics to create order," writes Brooks.
The book promises much insight into how Springsteen became the Boss, starting with candid descriptions of his anxious early years growing up in a working-class New Jersey family with an encouraging mother and a withdrawn, angry father. It also details Springsteen's focus and uncompromising dedication to his music – a commitment that, in his case, translated through unceasing hard work into the ultimate level of fame and a near-universal appreciation of his talent.
"Born To Run" is yet another example of the pact, here in autobiographical book form, that Springsteen has long had with his audience: If you come to me with a willingness to really listen, I'll tell you my truths in a way that speaks to your soul. Serious stuff, but would you expect anything else from the voice of a generation? Bruce is a rock god cloaked in the humble leather and jeans of a bar band singer who struggles and yearns just like we all do. Now that his bible has arrived, you know you'll have to read it chapter and verse.

Q: Absolute imports with rollup I'm trying to get imports like
import { startup } from "applicationRoot/renderUI";

to work, from anywhere in my application.  I thought the rollup-plugin-alias would be a good fit for this.  I tried configuring
alias({
  applicationRoot: "applicationRoot/"
})

in my plugins array. This came close, but the extension is dropped, so I get the error:

c:\path\to\applicationRoot\renderUI doesn't exist.

Adding in
alias({
  resolve: [".js"],
  applicationRoot: "applicationRoot/"
}),

did not change anything.

A: This is not the answer to the original question, but if you are coming here from search results and are using Typescript, you can set the compilerOptions.baseUrl in tsconfig and it will just work.
{
  ...
  compilerOptions: {
    ...
    "baseUrl": "./"
  },
}

Then if you have a file like `src/lib/util.ts' you can import it:
import util from 'src/lib/util'

A: You can use rollup-plugin-includepaths.
Add this to your Rollup configuration:
import includePaths from 'rollup-plugin-includepaths';

export default {
  ...
  plugins: [
    ...
    includePaths({ paths: ["./"] })
  ]
};

That will tell Rollup to also resolve imports from the root of your application, so things like
import { startup } from "applicationRoot/renderUI";

will appropriately find an applicationRoot folder where it is.

Mitt Romney appreciates India more after trip with Charity Vision
by Veena March 10, 2015 01344
Washington, March 10 (IANS) After a nine day trip to India with his family working with Charity Vision, former US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has returned home "with greater appreciation, both for India and for America".
The Provo, Utah, based Charity Vision, whose mission is to "bring an end to curable blindness" provides surgery for the very poor in 25 countries, including India. Last year, it carried out almost 40,000 surgeries.
"Remarkably, it does this on a budget of just over $1 million – about $25 per surgery" wrote Romney in a post on the trip on Medium.com.
"India is sensory overload: the horns, the press of people, the pollution, the heartbreaking poverty, and yes, the beauty of its landscape and edifices are overwhelming," he wrote.
"Through it all, however, inspiring points of human light shined brightly: doctors who donate multiple days every week, a mother who has opened her family circle to include 108 orphans, children who tenderly care for a sister or brother."
"What a blessing for me, my sons, and for my grandchildren to witness another great and free people building a better future for themselves, drawing on the strength of the human spirit," Romney wrote.
"We return home with greater appreciation, both for India and for America."
The former Massachusetts governor, who in January announced that he would not be making a third run for the White House, was in India with sons Matt and Josh and four grandkids.
Josh, who is the part-time and volunteer president of Charity Vision, got the entire Romney family involved in the India trip.
"Together, we hosted 14 people who had generously donated to the charity. We saw the sights in Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Varanasi," Romney wrote.
"We also performed vision screenings for school children and for the elderly; we lifted spirits at an orphanage; and we witnessed the miracle of restored vision for individuals who had long suffered from cataract blindness," he wrote.
Charity Vision's economic efficiency is due to its exclusive reliance on local doctors operating in local health facilities, Romney wrote.
Surgical equipment and supplies are generally sourced from US military surplus and from helpful US corporations, all at very large discounts from their original price, he noted.

The ship's primary mission is to help establish and supply remote field camps in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). These camps are the base of operations for monk seal scientists during much of the year. In ancillary projects, scientists and ship personnel aboard the Sette will conduct sighting surveys of whales and dolphins in waters along the cruise track and collect oceanographic data important to studies of climate change.
The research vessel will be at sea for 16 days in support of the Marine Mammal Research Program (MMRP), part of the Protected Species Division at NOAA's Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center. The primary aims of the MMRP research staff are to monitor the population status of Hawaiian monk seals, found only in the Hawaiian Archipelago, and to discover ways to enhance the recovery of the species. To collect the data necessary for population monitoring and recovery research, the MMRP establishes seasonal field camps at the six major breeding locations of the monk seal throughout the NWHI.
Under the direction of Chief Scientist Chad Yoshinaga, the Sette will transport MMRP researchers to French Frigate Shoals, Midway Atoll, Pearl and Hermes Reef, and Kure Atoll, and will deliver all the equipment and supplies necessary to support field work over the next 3 months. Everything used in the field camps, including tents, stoves, solar power arrays, computers, food, water, clothing, and other materials must be transferred from the Sette into small boats, shuttled to the islands, and carried to the campsite. Offloading materials will be especially tedious at Kure Atoll, where the Sette must anchor approximately 6 miles from Green Island, the location of the field camp. The Sette will also resupply existing field camps at Laysan and Lisianski Islands, where the ship deployed biologists 2 months ago.
While the ship is en route between islands, MMRP biologists will systematically maintain a lookout for cetaceans and document any sightings for further study. The cetacean sighting survey is part of the PIFSC's expanding program of cetacean research in the Hawaiian Archipelago and other parts of the Pacific Islands Region. During the cruise, the Sette will provide support to other agencies conducting research in the NWHI. Supplies and water will be provided to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) biologists on Laysan Island, and a team of biologists from the State of Hawaii, Division of Forestry and Wildlife will be transported to Kure Atoll.
The scientific party is also being accompanied on this cruise by Kazu Kauinana, a Hawaii-based sculptor and an art instructor at the University of Hawaii, Kapiolani Community College, who is on board as part of the NOAA Teacher At Sea (TAS) Program . The mission of the Program is to give teachers a clearer insight into our ocean planet, a greater understanding of maritime work and studies, and to increase their level of environmental literacy by fostering an interdisciplinary research experience. Mr. Kauinana will incorporate his experiences in the NWHI into his class curricula to share with his students. The program provides a unique environment for learning and teaching by sending kindergarten through college-level teachers to sea aboard NOAA research and survey ships to work under the tutelage of scientists and crew.
During the Oscar Elton Sette cruise, NOAA personnel on the ship will take advantage of the opportunity to collect oceanographic data as part of NOAA's continuing mission to observe and monitor the ocean environment. NOAA is actively involved in national and global partnerships to study the Earth's ocean and atmosphere and improve our ability to understand and predict climate change. At various locations during the cruise, Sette personnel will lower a 'CTD' instrument into the water, connected to the ship by a thick cable enclosing electrical wires. As the CTD instrument sinks, it measures the water's Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (hence the name 'CTD') and transmits the information over the electrical wires back to a computer on the ship. Sette staff will also deploy several Expendable Bathythermographs (XBTs) during transit. These disposable instruments, shaped like small projectiles, contain a coil of thin copper wire and sensors that measure water temperature. XBTs are 'shot' into the water from a launch tube on the ship. During their plunge toward the sea floor, they transmit temperature data over the wire to a shipboard computer. XBT temperature-at-depth data are used by oceanographers to determine the vertical thermal structure of the ocean, including the thickness of the upper-level, mixed layer of the ocean where many important pelagic species live.

Platform king beds – If you have a room with a huge corner, try building a frame in what would otherwise be a dead space. If you decided on a platform, you can in turn create space for storage, this way you ensure a more efficient use of your bedroom. An extra point to support environment! Wood pallets are a good resource for most people who like to make their own DIY projects. There are numerous ways to use them. These pallets in their natural state work very well as bed bases with a simple paint finish.
A floating bed base is not so difficult to do. You can create your own by building a simple platform king beds with plywood and installing a skirt finish around it. Then hide legs as close to center of base so it cannot be seen from above. A rustic platform bed can be made from stacking of train sleepers. You can make them as wide or tall as you prefer. Use salvaged pieces, or buys new ones. If you change your design, Can always be reused in your garden!
If your ceiling can support weight of a bed with mattress and you, you can use this classic method to hang it. Simply drill a hole in each corner of wooden platform king beds. Secure four strings from ceiling and pass through each hole, knot underneath. Swing gently to get dream.

Transport infrastructure - roads and railway systems - are frequently built in areas where the soil is highly compressible, such as swamps, marshes or areas near watercourses. In such cases, substantial consolidation work is required to avoid shear failure of the fill used to build the structure. This type of project requires simultaneous management of multiple sites along the alignment and can often involve the use of a variety of solutions to meet the wide-ranging geotechnical conditions and specific constraints of the terrain. To ensure the long-term integrity of the infrastructure and the safety of the vehicles using it, it is essential that these areas are "over-consolidated" to reduce settlement due to primary settlements, creep and to limit differential settlement. For engineering structures built along the alignment, backfill generates very high loads associated with strict settlement limitations. These critical areas generally require even more extensive treatment and careful management of the interfaces.
The Ring Express road joins the existing 3-city Bypass (Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia) and the Highway A1 (Gdańsk – Katowice) in the North of Poland.
This area had extremely bad soils conditions for road construction. There was very organic soil (peat and sludge) with high water content index. The thickness of weak deposits varied from 6 to 25 m with average depth of 12 m.
Two ground improvement methods were proposed: Controlled Modulus Columns and pre-consolidation treatments using vertical drain with surcharge. This solution fulfilled the technical and economical requirement of the investor.


Cover the bottom of a spring form tin that fits in your Airfryer with parchment paper and grease the edges. Tip: it's easiest if you trap the paper in the spring form and trim off the edges.
Sieve the flour, cocoa and salt in a bowl. Chop the dark chocolate coarsely and boil the water. Put the sugar, butter, half of the dark chocolate, the condensed milk and the water in a pan. Heat this on low heat, constantly stirring until smooth.
Add the mixture to the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa and salt) and stir until fully combined. Loosely beat the eggs and add to the mixture, stir well. Heat your Airfryer to 150 degrees.
Pour the mixture into the spring form tin and bake for 50 minutes. Check whether the cake is cooked by inserting a skewer in the center of the cake. When you remove it again, is it dry? If so, the cake is cooked. Remove the cake from the Airfryer and let cool for 30 minutes in the tin. Remove the tin and leave approximately 1.5 hours to cool completely.
Use the cooling time to make the delicious chocolate filling. Chop the milk chocolate finely and put it in a bowl along with the rest of the dark chocolate. Heat the cream until just about to boil, then pour into the bowl with the chocolate and stir until it has melted. Beat the chocolate mixture in the mixer until shimmering and let stand for 30 minutes at room temperature. Carefully cut the cake horizontally in half and coat both halves with the chocolate mixture. Garnish the cake with chocolate decorations, spun sugar or gold leaf.

MV Meets
MAXIMUM VOLUME MEETS: ZAKK WYLDE
Black Label's Zakk talks, about tours, albums, Vegetarian Restaurants and …urmmm alternate uses for Led Zep IV
Ok. Just sometimes things occur that defy description. When the only possible thing to do is to forget what you've just heard and plough on with what you were going to do anyway. This might be one of those times.
"You know, it's like when you are jacking off to Led Zep IV that never gets old. You can't get tired of that shit, can you?"
The man who has just said those words is Zakk Wylde. A few days before our interview, he was all over the entertainment pages jamming with Paul Stanley, Lemmy and Glenn Hughes at Dave Grohl's birthday party ("that was fun, it was good to see the guys again," he says.) now he's telling MVM how he gets on his own Stairway To Heaven.
That is Zakk in a nutshell. A warm, welcoming individual, but one who is fully fledged in rock's major leagues, he chats as though he doesn't have a care in the world, and doesn't appear too interested in playing the salesman either.
To paraphrase what British broadcaster Danny Baker often says when interviewing a celebrity guest, it's highly unlikely that MVM and one of the world's greatest guitar players would have got together today if Wylde wasn't promoting something. So it is that we are supposed to be talking to Zakk about the upcoming Black Label Society tour dates. The trouble is what you are supposed to be talking to Zakk about often gets off track.
For example ask what fans can expect from the tour dates and he replies: "oh shit man, it's gonna be like a Broadway musical, more costume changes than Brittany Spears show, that's our inspiration this time around."
It is at this point we ask him if he still enjoys being on the road, and the mentally scarring image of Wylde alone in his room comes back.
He's every right to be in a good mood, though. A killer new album "Catacombs Of The Black Vatican" is in the bag, and his band are already on tour. He's doing the interview as BLS are preparing to go on in Kansas (or as he puts it, "we are hanging with Kansas Chapter this evening," as if he still believes his band are the last great biker gang in town.) all is very good in the Wylde world it seems.
"Yeah man it's going well, we are out with Hatebreed, and those guys always bring it, and we've got the Butcher Babies with us too, and they are great."
Both those bands are old friends, he says, and handpicked for the jaunt. In the UK one of the opening acts is stoner rock's new stars in waiting, Crobot, and we ask if he had any hand in this too, the answer tells you everything you need to know about Wylde's outlook on life: "I haven't picked them for the tour, no, but I know the music and it's cool. I look forward to meeting with them, hanging out and becoming friends."
This is probably why Wylde is so universally popular. Tales of his shenanigans with his partner in crime Dimebag Darrell have passed into folklore, the open door, open bar policy of the past has won him many friends around the world. His superb playing has won him many, many legions of fans.
On the rare occasions he is serious, it is absolutely crystal clear that this is a man who loves – and lives for – music. He still practices every day: "You are never to old to learn," he explains. "I'm learning things all the time. I still get inspired. I still make sure I do my scales every day. I want to keep getting better. " But for Zakk Wylde you suspect it runs deeper than that.
Happily married to his childhood sweetheart (I've got the best family in the world") two of his four children are named after Ozzy (who is still referred to as "the boss" on numerous occasions during our chat) and Jimi Hendrix. He is absolutely immersed in music. But far from being some dinosaur, he can reel off some new bands far better than you would think a man who is clearly so steeped in classic rock might be able to do. A man who still buys records ("the new Led Zep box set is amazing!" He says with clearly genuine enthusiasm) the last album he purchased is still something of a surprise: "The new Beck one. That's absolutely brilliant," he says. MVM mentions that we'd lost touch with Beck around the time of "Sea Change" and he is offering purchase advice: "oh dude, if you like "Sea Change," you've got to check this one out. It's back to that. I love it."
In fact there are times when it seems that Zakk would rather talk about any other music rather than his own, which is interesting for a man that is responsible for so much superb stuff over the years. He talks about Ozzy, Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, The Allman Brothers frequently. Getting him to speak about BLS, though, that's a challenge.
Eventually he tells us how pleased he is with the band: "This is a great bunch of guys, we love hanging out. We love jamming and we are all playing at the top of our games. Everything is just about perfect in our world right now." He is similarly pleased with the "……Vatican" record. "We never go in with any preconceptions for the albums," he affirms. "Instead we just get in the studio, start jamming and see where it takes us. We've been doing this a long time, we are good at it, you know? And people still seem to dig what we are doing, so that's really cool."
He's quite right, he has been doing it for a long time. And in that time – let's be honest – there's been a drop off in record sales, so does he subscribe to the whole "rock is dead" thing that certain people have been quick to peddle. Not a bit of it, although his typically bullish and upbeat assessment is tempered with some concerns: "Yeah of course you worry for the young kids coming up. How are they going to make a living the way things are?"
Not that he's concerned that the supply of bands is going to dry up. "There will always be kids out there who want to check out their favourite bands influences," he says not unreasonably. MVM mentions at this point that it was his own Pride And Glory band, the first thing he did without "the boss" that turned us on to Southern Rock, and he adds, happily: "Yeah man! That's what I'm talking about! Bands like Avenged Sevenfold will talk about Maiden and Sabbath and kids will get on their iTunes or whatever, and they'll be fans. Those bands will go on forever!"
Such longevity, we suggest doesn't happen in pop music, where in these X Factor, Pop Idol times bands are here today gone the next, does that superficiality bother Zakk? The reply that comes back sums up what is so wonderful about talking to this man: "I honestly couldn't give a shit," he laughs. "And they don't give a shit about us either. The way I look at it is quite simple; pop music to me, well it's like a vegetarian restaurant. I don't know what's on the menu in a vegetarian restaurant. I don't know what people do in a vegetarian restaurant and I don't want to know. I eat steak. And I like steak. I ain't changing. And you know what else? My veggie friends, they don't care about steak. They are happy with whatever they eat. Sabbath, Zeppelin, bands like that, they are steak to me."
The mere mention of Led Zeppelin brings is back to where we started. And that is a scary thought. But hey, even a 24 carat rock star has to get his rocks off somehow, right?
