Incubator egger 88 is a small-sized incubation apparatus for hatching poultry. The Egger 88 combines the functions of an incubator and an output cabinet. The device is intentionally created of such dimensions, so that you can take the bird in any room, without the need to additionally equip it. The model is completely automated, so it is perfect for novice farmers.
The device operates from the power supply system at 220V. The device operates by consuming a minimum amount of electricity. Egger 88 is equipped with a ventilation system for air circulation inside the chamber.
The temperature inside the chamber is maintained by the heater. The main feature of the heater is the ability to change the temperature, changing by one tenth of a degree.
When setting the temperature, it will be maintained autonomously. The chamber has a hole to control the entry of fresh air. The air warms up and enters the incubator at a temperature that is set manually.
The moisture percentage is set manually. You can set the sensor to 40% - 75%. This range is wide enough for a small-sized device.
Water tank holds 9 liters, so you need to pour less liquid. This volume is enough for 4-6 days, depending on the established level of humidity. Increased humidity is achieved through special fans that work offline.
The fan is used to ventilate the chamber, which allows you to control the level of moisture and heat. If the figures exceed the permissible rate, emergency mode is activated.
Features and capabilities:
Egger 88 is an incubator and hatcher! 2 functions in one device. 220 volt incubator. The quality of a professional incubator, only in small dimensions. The technologies are comparable with large incubation cabinets, but at the same time, the dimensions make it possible to display them in ordinary rooms that are not intended for incubation, that is, in an apartment, house, or room. The incubator is as automated as possible, which is a great advantage for people who decide to try their hand in the field of farming. The ability to connect through the inverter to the battery. The Egger 88 has a powerful fan for circulating air inside the chamber, a fast-response heater with low inertia that ensures accurate temperature control within 0.1 degrees. In other words - if you set the temperature to 37.8 - then it will hold exactly that. The incubator has an adjustable hole for a constant flow of fresh air into the incubator. The incoming air has time to warm up before it enters the main incubation chamber, which makes it possible to maintain the temperature in the chamber at a predetermined level. Humidity is automatically regulated, can support at 40% - 75%, which is a large range for a small-sized incubator. The volume of the water bath is 9 liters, which makes it possible to fill the water less often. This volume is enough for 4-6 days, depending on the humidity regime. To raise the humidity, fans are used in automatic mode. A fan is built in to purge the chamber; it can also be used to discharge excess heat and / or moisture from the incubation chamber — to activate emergency mode.
One set of trays is included in the package of an incubator. The EGGER 88 is 4 trays (for a description of the trays, see the paragraph "PARAMETERS").

- it is made and thought out not only for chicks, but also for people (it is convenient in operation),
- incubation and output in one case (everything is thought out),
- precise electronics and sensors (no mass consumption and quality savings),
The incubator consists of:
incubation trays - 4 pcs.,
humidification system with a bath of 9 liters of water.
To move the incubator, there are 3 handles on the cover and walls. In order to be able to convert the preliminary chamber into the hatcher, the model is equipped with a special mat that fits on the false bottom, it houses eggs. The cover and side wall of Egger 88 are completed with clips.
The size of the model is 76 x 34 x 60 cm. The case is made of aluminum profile and sandwich panels with a thickness of 24 mm. Sandwich panels are made of PVC sheets, between which there is insulation - polystyrene foam. Body properties:
high-quality thermal insulation (not less than 0.9 m2 ° C / W),
good sound insulation (at least 24 dB),
high moisture resistance
good wear resistance and impact resistance.
The device operates from the mains with a voltage of 220 V. The power consumption is not more than 190 V during heating.
Incubator Functionality
The main element of the electronic unit is the controller. He performs management:
a roll of eggs
external ventilation,
emergency modes of ventilation.
Humidity inside the unit can be adjusted from 40 to 80% with an accuracy of 1%. Humidity is provided by the evaporation of water, which is supplied from a special tank.
The volume of the tank is 9 liters, it is sufficient to provide automatic control of the parameter for 4-6 days, depending on the selected indicators. Maintained air temperature - up to 39 ° С. Adjustment accuracy - plus or minus 0.1 ° С.
Optimum performance for chicken eggs:
humidity - 55%,
temperature - 37 ° C.
Rotation of trays is carried out mechanically. Trays inside the case are in constant motion and slowly rotate. Within 2 hours, the trays are rotated 90 degrees from one side to the other.
The fans are located in the lower part of the installation, they take air from the chamber and take it out. At the top of the chamber are air intakes. In the presence of a separate fan for purging the camera on a timer, which can be used instead of the main in case of emergency.
The advantages of Egger 88 include:
the possibility of incubating eggs of different bird species,
the combination of the functions of the incubation and excretory device,
ease of moving the model and the possibility of placing on a small space,
simultaneous incubation of the average batch of eggs,
good thermal insulation properties
maximum automation of processes: control of ventilation, humidity, temperature, automatic rotation of trays,
high impact resistance of the hull,
robust design, assembled from high-quality components,
optimized shape and size of the structure, developed taking into account the opinions of both engineers and professional poultry farmers,
installation is easy to maintain and maintain.
The disadvantage of the device can be considered its small capacity and limited functionality, but all this corresponds to its purpose: a simple compact model for small farming.
Instructions on the use of equipment
Egger 88 can be placed in a room with an air temperature not lower than 18 ° C. The thermal conductivity of the sandwich panels of the housing complies with GOST 7076. Fresh air is needed in the room with the incubator, since it participates in the air exchange processes inside the incubation chamber. Do not install the unit in a draft or in direct sunlight.
Preparation and incubation consist of the following stages of work with the equipment:
Preparing the device to work.
Lay eggs in the incubator.
The main workflow is incubation.
Re-equipment of the camera for the withdrawal of chicks.
Chick removal procedure.
Care of the device after the withdrawal.
Video: Egger Incubator Setup
Preparing the incubator for work
For successful hatching of chicks, besides an incubator, it is also desirable to have:
uninterruptible power supply,
0.8 kW electric generator.
Modern generators can be diesel, gasoline or gas. The generator will protect you from possible interruptions in the operation of power grids. The uninterruptible power supply unit is not a mandatory element, but it is recommended to protect the electronics from power surges and is used to smooth out peak voltages.
Before work you need:
Wash the device with soapy water and a sponge for disinfecting surfaces, disinfect, dry.
Check the condition of the power cord and the tightness of the case. Using obviously defective equipment is prohibited.
Fill the humidification system with warm, boiled water.
Incorporate an incubator into operation.
Check the operation of the turning mechanism.
Check the operation of the ventilation system, temperature and humidity control.
Pay attention to the correctness of the sensor readings and their compliance with real values.
If problems are observed in the operation of the systems - contact the service center.
Egg laying
Fix trays for a specific type of eggs (chicken, duck, quail).
Requirements for eggs:
For incubation take clean, unwashed eggs of the same size.
Eggs must be free of defects (thin shell, displaced air chamber, etc.) - checked by an over-sight.
Egg freshness - no later than 10 days from the moment of laying.
Stored at a temperature not lower than 10 ° C.
Before putting the eggs in the incubator, warm them to room temperature at 25 ° C. After the eggs are laid in trays, the lid is closed and the parameters of the Egger 88 are set. The temperature (37-38 ° C), humidity (50-55%) and ventilation time must be set.
Video: preparing eggs for laying in an incubator Now you can close the incubator and turn it on. Then you need to make sure that the device works in the specified mode. If the incubation of eggs of rare breeds, then you need to consider that such eggs are not rejected because of their high value.
When the shells are contaminated, the dirt is scraped off with a knife. Chicken eggs are laid for incubation in the evening - so that the process of hatching of chickens begins in the morning and the whole brood has had time to hatch during the day.
In the process of incubation requires periodic monitoring of the systems - humidity, temperature, air, turning eggs. It is recommended to check equipment operation at least 2 times a day - in the morning and in the evening. In case of deviations from normal temperatures, disturbances in the development of the embryo and developmental delay are possible. Violations in the moisture regime lead to a thickening of the shell, because of which the chicken will not be able to hatch. In addition, in dry air, chickens are small. Excessively humid air may cause the chicken to stick to the shells.
Video: egg incubation
Hatching chicks
3-4 days before the end of the incubation, the eggs from the incubation trays are laid on a special mat on the false-bottom of the chamber. To turn the eggs in this period is prohibited. Hatching chickens start on their own.
After the chicken has hatched - it must dry before it is removed from the incubator in the manger. A dried and active chicken must be taken out, as it will prevent other chicks from hatching.
If the process is delayed and only a part of the chickens are hatching, and the other is late - increase the temperature in the chamber by 0.5 ° C, this will speed up the process.
Possible problems and solutions:
The chicken has broken through the shell, it beeps quietly, but it has not come out for several hours. Such a chicken takes time to get out. He's just weak and gets out slowly.
The chicken has broken the shell, does not come out and squeals nervously. Perhaps the crust has dried and does not allow it to get out. Dampen your hands with water, take out the egg and lightly wet the foil. This will help the baby.
If a piece of shell hangs on the selected chicken, lightly moisten it with water so that it can fall away.
Device price
Price Egger 88 is 18,000 rubles.
The Egger 88 Incubator has an optimal price / quality ratio in its class. The quality and degree of automation correspond to industrial analogues. The device is distinguished by modern design, reliability of components, high energy efficiency. If you have any problems you can get advice from the company's service center.
Artificial incubation of young animals is an ideal way to breed poultry, and Egger 88 will help you to cope with this task. There are practically no similar devices designed for the needs of a small farm and capable of competing with it.

My Name is Jody Williams: A Vermont Girl's Winding Path to the Nobel Peace Prize
By: Carlos de Abreu
'My Name is Jody Williams: A Vermont Girl's Winding Path to the Nobel Peace Prize' is a great memoir that Nobel Peace Prize winner and our friend Jody Williams just completed. What Mia Farrow says about Jody's book… "An Activist's activist." Get Jody's book today!
As Eve Ensler says in her inspired foreword to this book, "Jody Williams is many things—a simple girl from Vermont, a sister of a disabled brother, a loving wife, an intense character full of fury and mischief, a great strategist, an excellent organizer, a brave and relentless advocate, and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. But to me Jody Williams is, first and foremost, an activist."
From her modest beginnings to becoming the tenth woman—and third American woman—to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, Jody Williams takes the reader through the ups and downs of her tumultuous and remarkable life. In a voice that is at once candid, straightforward, and intimate, Williams describes her Catholic roots, her first step on a long road to standing up to bullies with the defense of her deaf brother Stephen, her transformation from good girl to college hippie at the University of Vermont, and her protest of the war in Vietnam. She relates how, in 1981, she began her lifelong dedication to global activism as she battled to stop the U.S.-backed war in El Salvador.
Throughout the memoir, Williams underlines her belief that an "average woman"—through perseverance, courage and imagination—can make something extraordinary happen. She tells how, when asked if she'd start a campaign to ban and clear anti-personnel mines, she took up the challenge, and the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) was born. Her engrossing account of the genesis and evolution of the campaign, culminating in 1997 with the Nobel Peace Prize, vividly demonstrates how one woman's commitment to freedom, self-determination, and human rights can have a profound impact on people all over the globe.

"Jody Williams received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for her work to ban landmines through the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, which shared the Peace Prize with her that year. At that time, she became the 10th woman – and third American woman – in its almost 100-year history to receive the Prize. Since her protests of the Vietnam War, she has been a life-long advocate of freedom, self-determination and human and civil rights."

The Horrifying Truth About Most Shootings |
The Horrifying Truth About Most Shootings
Jessica Valenti
September 18, 2015LGBTQ
A shooting this week in Mississippi - where a teacher at Delta State University allegedly shot and killed his live-in partner and another professor - has been called a shooting spree and a "love triangle". What we haven't really heard it called, however, is perhaps the most important descriptor: domestic violence.
Shannon Lamb, the alleged killer, is believed to have killed Amy Prentiss, the woman he lived with, and a colleague, professor Ethan Schmidt. Lamb was later found dead, apparently from a self-inflicted gun wound.
No matter what police eventually determine that the motive was, this is domestic violence. And until we start talking seriously about the intersection of gun violence and intimate partner violence, we will continue to watch as murders - many of them preventable - are perpetrated again and again.
Most women who are killed by their partners or ex-partners are murdered by men using guns. The rate of gun use in domestic violence murders is so high that women are more likely to be killed by a gun than all other types of murders combined. The same is true of mass shootings in the United States - most are domestic violence murders. When Huffington Post reporter Melissa Jeltsen looked at five years of mass shooting data, for example, she found that 57% of mass shootings involved the killer targeting a family member or partner and that 64% of victims were women and children.
Just this week, a Minnesota man reportedly killed his wife and three childrenusing a gun; still there was no mention of domestic violence in the press. Why are we so loathe to call this kind of violence what it is? Not doing so is not just incorrect, but dangerous. Domestic violence murders are often preventable because they follow a predictable pattern: we know what signs of abuse look like and we know that a woman's chances of being killed by her partner increases significantly when he has access to a gun.
But when the media reports on these killings as standard shootings, or - as they do frequently - say that a killer "snapped", they are sending the message that there is nothing that could have been done to stop these tragedies. It's lazy thinking that allows us throw our hands up and do nothing, even when there is so much still to do.
We cannot passively shake our heads in sadness and disdain every time another person is killed by a gun, every time domestic violence takes another woman or child from us. We may never know if the killings in Mississippi could have been stopped, but we know what we can do to try to prevent future murders. We can limit access to guns, especially among those people who have restraining or protective orders against them. We can listen to domestic violence experts on signs to look out for among our family and friends. And at the very least - both to stop domestic violence homicides and to show the victims of these crimes a modicum of respect - we can call the crimes what they really are.

NACE MR0175/ISO 15156/NACE MR0103
NACE International has developed two significant standards relative to the use of materials in hydrogen sulfide bearing environments. One is titled MR0175/ISO 15156, Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries - Materials for use in H2S-containing Environments in Oil and Gas Production; and the other is MR0103, Materials Resistant to Sulfide Stress Cracking in Corrosive Petroleum Refining Environments. Hydrogen sulfide is not only a poisonous gas, but can also cause stress corrosion cracking in steels and alloys. These standards define material conditions that are suitable for use in given hydrogen sulfide service conditions.
When NACE MR0175 was modified and co-issued as ISO 15156 in 2003, the restrictions on hardness changed from being listed by individual alloys to groups of alloys. Stainless steels and several of the higher alloys supplied by Rolled Alloys are suitable for use in hydrogen sulfide environments and may be ordered to satisfy these requirements.
The common 300 series stainless steels were characterized as "Austenitic stainless steels of this material type shall contain the following elements in the following proportions, expressed as mass fractions: C 0.08% Max, Cr 16.0% Min, Ni 8.0% Min, P 0.045% Max, S 0.04% Max, Mn 2.0% Max, and Si 2.0% Max. Other alloying elements are permitted." As a group, the following restrictions as presented in Table A.2 apply:
The material must be solution annealed and quenched, or annealed and thermally stabilized.
The material must be free of cold work intended to enhance mechanical properties.
A hardness maximum of Rockwell C 22 (Rockwell B 100, Brinell 256) applies.
These requirements are identical to those for MR0103. 300 series stainless steels purchased by Rolled Alloys for stock are produced to standard ASTM/ASME specifications such as A/SA 240 for flat products and A/SA 479 for long products. These standards require the material to be supplied in the annealed and quenched (either water or other means) condition. Rolled Alloys does not enhance the mechanical properties of these products through cold work. Provided the hardness values reported on the material test report reflect hardness levels below Rockwell C 22 (or equivalent), these materials are considered to be in compliance with MR0175 Table A.2 and MR0103 Table 3.
Alloy 20 is a material of Type 3a in Table A.8 of MR0175. AL-6XN© Alloy (UNS N08367) is a material of Type 3b. As these materials are supplied in the solution annealed condition, they satisfy the requirements of Table A.8. MR0175 does not require a hardness to be reported for annealed material. These materials also satisfy the requirements of MR0103, paragraph 2.7.1 provided the reported hardness is at or below Rockwell C 35.
Solid solution nickel alloys (such as 600/625) provided by Rolled Alloys are annealed and satisfy the requirements for these materials as set forth in Table A.13 of MR0175. MR0175 does not require a hardness to be reported for annealed material. In addition, they conform to MR0103 Section 3, provided the reported hardness is at or below Rockwell C 35.
Duplex alloys 2205 (S31803/S32205) and ZERON® 100 (S32760) supplied by Rolled Alloys are supplied in the annealed and liquid quenched condition, and have a ferrite content between 35% and 65%. As such, they satisfy the requirements for these materials as stated in Table A.24 of MR0175. MR0175 does not require a hardness to be reported for annealed material. These materials also satisfy MR0103, Paragraph 2.8.1, provided the reported hardness is at or below Rockwell C 28.
Alloy 718 (UNS N07718) is a precipitation hardenable alloy covered in Table A.32 of MR0175. Rolled Alloys provides Alloy 718 either as solution treated to a hardness of Rockwell C 35 maximum, or aged to a hardness of Rockwell C 40 maximum. Both of these conditions satisfy the requirements of Table A.32 (and MR0103, Table 5). Note that our aged product, identified by Rolled Alloys as NACE 718, also satisfies the requirements of API 6A718.
Since all of these materials are supplied to specifications that ensure compliance to the MR0175 requirements, no further certification is routinely provided by the producing mills.

March 15, 2018 Carlos Freitas
Directed by Amat Escalante
Country: Mexico / other
The work of Mexican director Amat Escalante has been considered as provocative, violent, and emotionally disturbing. This was mirrored in "Heli", with which he won Cannes' best director, and it's easily observable again in his latest feature "The Untamed", a risky piece of cinema that borrows some influence from Andrzej Zulawski's "Possession". It gave him another reputed best-director prize, this time in Venice.
Embracing that similar depressing atmosphere as in his previous work, Escalante raises expectation for this one as he adds elements of sci-fi and erotica to pepper a solid family drama. This combination, not always successful but undeniably trendy, should bring him some more followers. Still, this disquieting canvas painted in dark hues may repulse the most sensitive ones through the gloominess that encircles the story from minute one.
The film, written by Escalante and Gibran Portela, follows two different stories that converge at some point. Alejandra (Ruth Ramos) is a dedicated mother of two who lost sexual attraction for her knavish husband, Angel (Jesús Meza). She keeps showing signs of tiredness due to his improper ways, heavy drinking, as well as possessive behavior. In fact, she has every reason to be concerned because Angel, who adopts a homophobic posture in front of her, is having a homosexual affair with Alejandra's nurse brother, Fabian (Eden Villavicencio). However, the latter is willing to discontinue these dishonorable encounters, especially after he meets Veronica (Simone Bucio), a young woman in need of special treatment due to a deep wound in her belly inflicted by a multiple-tentacle alien that landed on our planet with a meteorite.
This abhorrently weird creature relies on Mr. Vega (Oscar Escalante), a scientist, and his wife Marta (Bernarda Trueba), to find young women to fulfill its concupiscence. "It only gives pleasure and never hurts", says Veronica, but this is only accurate until it gets tired of playing with the same person. The women who experience it, describe this bizarre yet addictive pleasure as sublime, attaining a primitive and pure state of the sexual act itself.
When Fabian falls into a coma due to a brutal sexual aggression, the mysterious tones of the story intensify while the doubts linger in our heads.
Even demanding my attention in several sections, this was not an attractive story at all, given that some of the images can be truly somber and disgusting. Besides, it doesn't take you anywhere beyond the superficial.
Standing somewhere between the art-house explorations of Tsai Ming Liang and Brillante Mendoza, the film presents ever-shifting moods, going from the poignant drama to mild crime thriller to restrained sci-fi horror film. The topics are also diverse, touching homophobia, misogyny, hedonism, and human ignominy.
Slippery and sly, "The Untamed" boasts some originality. In spite of that, the extra-sensorial extraterrestrial fiction that Escalante tries to sell becomes more subfusc than scary as the film moves forward.

Europe is preparing for the launch of the new Unitary Patent and the Unified Patent Court (UPC). A provisional phase for the UPC is expected to start later this year, with a view to a full start of the system in the spring of 2017. In a series of articles, Kluwer IP Law explains the upcoming changes and the consequences they have for patent practitioners. The first blogpost: What is a Unitary Patent?
1. Shall the Unitary Patent replace the existing European Patent?
No. The European patent as we know it, shall continue to exist. The Unitary Patent shall be a new option for patent applicants to acquire patent protection for the territory of (finally) 26 EU member states. The official name of the Unitary Patent is the 'European patent with unitary effect'. After the entry into force of the Unitary Patent Regulation (n°1257/2012), applicants shall have the choice to obtain a national patent, a European patent (of which the territorial protection depends on the member states for which the patent proprietor has validated its patent) or a Unitary Patent for the territory of all EU member states that have ratified the Agreement on the Unified Patent Court at the time of grant of the Unitary Patent (see question 7).
Given the fact that the Unitary Patent is an additional layer of patent protection, the situation shall occur that for certain inventions the patent proprietor shall acquire a European patent for the member states of the European Patent Organization which are not Unitary Patent member states (e.g. Switzerland, Turkey, Spain, Iceland, etc.) and at the same time shall acquire a Unitary Patent for the territory of the Unitary Patent member states.
2. How will I obtain a Unitary Patent?
The granting procedure for Unitary Patents shall be the same as for European patents. Before obtaining a Unitary Patent, the applicant first needs to obtain a European patent through the European Patent Office. After the grant of the European patent, the patent proprietor has to submit a 'request for unitary effect' to the European Patent Office within one month after the publication of the mention of grant of the European patent in the European Patent Bulletin. The request needs to be submitted together with the translation required by the Translation Regulation (n° 1260/2012).
3. Shall a Unitary Patent be cheaper than a European patent?
Yes and no. The costs of the examination phase before the European Patent Office shall be the same as for a European patent. However, in the post-grant phase, the Unitary Patent shall be significantly cheaper than a European patent validated in all Unitary Patent member states. First of all, the translation costs of the Unitary Patent shall be significantly less because you will only need one additional translation for the Unitary Patent, instead of translations in the different languages of the member states as currently is the case for European patents. Secondly, the renewal fees for a Unitary Patent shall be less than ¼ of the renewal fees for a European patent validated in 25 member states. During the first 10 years of the patent the cumulative renewal fees for a Unitary Patent shall be less than 5,000 EUR. For a European patent validated in 25 member states the total amount of renewal fees during the first 10 years is currently more than 29,500 EUR. For the whole 20 year duration of a European patent, the renewal fees amount to 158,621 EUR. The total renewal fees for a Unitary Patent shall only be 35,555 EUR.
If you only validate your European Patents in a small number of member states, it is possible that the European patent remains the cheaper option. As a rule of thumb, patent holders who validate their European patent in four member states or less, the European patent shall remain cheaper. However, your territorial protection is in such case also limited to these four member states (or less). If you choose for a Unitary Patent, you will have a broad protection in at least 13 member states (and in the end in 26 member states).
4. Which translations shall be needed to obtain a Unitary Patent?
If the language of proceedings before the European Patent Office was German or French, the specification of the patent shall need to be translated into English. If the language of proceedings before the European Patent Office was English, the request for Unitary Patent protection shall have to be submitted together with a translation into one of the official languages of the European Union. The European Patent Office shall not perform a quality check of the translation.
5. What is the difference between a European Patent and a Unitary Patent in terms of effect?
A Unitary Patent shall provide uniform protection and shall have equal effect in all Unitary Patent member states. The main consequence of such unitary effect is that a Unitary Patent can only be limited, transferred and revoked in respect of all participating member states. A classical European patent can be revoked in one member state and upheld in another member state.
In case the Unified Patent Court would judge that a party infringes a patent, this infringement shall be established for the whole territory of the Unitary Patent member states.
Although in case of transfer, a Unitary Patent is considered to be transferred for all the Unitary Patent member states, the Unitary Patent Regulation provides that a Unitary Patent may be licensed for the whole or part of the territories of the Unitary Patent member states.
6. Will I be able to invoke Unitary Patents in proceedings before national courts?
No. The Unified Patent Court shall have exclusive jurisdictions for disputes regarding Unitary Patents. This means that e.g. infringement and revocation actions regarding Unitary Patents cannot be brought before national courts. The situation for European patents shall be different. During a transitional period of 7 years (extendable with an additional 7 years) European patents can be judged by national courts or by the Unified Patent Court.
7. Shall a Unitary Patent from day one be granted for 26 member states?
No. A Unitary Patent shall have unitary effect only in those member states in which the Unified Patent Court has exclusive jurisdiction. Consequently, the territory of the Unitary Patent shall in the beginning be limited to those member states which have ratified the Unified Patent Court Agreement. In practice, this means that the territory of the Unitary Patent shall depend on the number of member states that had ratified the UPC Agreement at the date of the request for unitary effect. In the beginning, the Unitary Patent may only cover 13 EU member states, including France, Germany and the UK (i.e. the minimum number of member states required for the Unified Patent Court to become operational). Depending on the ratification speed of the member states, the unitary effect shall gradually grow up to 26 EU member states.

Pennsylvania Adopts Maximum Contaminant Level for PFOA and PFOS in Drinking Water and EPA is Not Far Behind
Bryan P. Franey, Esq.
MGKF Special Alert - Pennsylvania Forecast 2023
On January 14, 2023, Pennsylvania adopted a final rule establishing a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in drinking water. The final rule establishes an MCL of 14 parts per trillion (ppt) for PFOA and 18 ppt for PFOS. Pennsylvania joins a growing list of states to adopt MCLs. By comparison, New Jersey has adopted slightly lower MCLs for PFOA (13 ppt) and PFOS (14 ppt). Pennsylvania's MCLs for PFOA and PFOS apply to all community, nontransient, noncommunity, and bottled, vended retail, and bulk water systems.
At the federal level, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is also planning to establish MCLs for both PFOA and PFOS. EPA had hoped to propose MCLs for PFOA and PFOS by the end of 2022 with a final rule adopted by the end of 2023. In its recent Regulatory Agenda, EPA moved its target to publish a proposed MCL to March 4, 2023 and a final MCL to September 2024. To the extent that EPA's MCL is more stringent than Pennsylvania's MCL, Pennsylvania will likely have to adopt EPA's standard. To the extent there are other conflicts between the two MCL rulemakings, it is unclear how such conflicts will be resolved.

Sumner's Tales: 8 Sting Classics Reissued on Vinyl...
Anyone who ever listened to The Police would know that Sting harboured ambitions beyond the limitations of one particular style. His former band may have come together during the punk and new wave heyday, but their pop nous and incorporation of reggae ensured that they stood out from their contemporaries. As the solo albums collected on the forthcoming 11LP box set Sting: The Studio Collection prove, when it came to carving out a solo career, Sting continued to ignore all notion of boundaries.
Sting The Dream Of The Blue Turtles Album Cover - 300His debut solo album, 1985's The Dream Of The Blue Turtles, established a unique sound that pushed the limits of what was expected of a pop song, as Sting enlisted jazz heavyweights such as saxophonist Branford Marsalis, later Rolling Stones bassist Darryl Jones and percussionist Omar Hakim. Centring around the theme of love, the album also included Eddy Grant on congas and was a Top 5 hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
… Nothing Like The Sun and The Soul Cages Followed, in 1987 and 1991, respectively, both topping the charts in the UK and entering the Top 10 in the US. Expanding on the sound he hit upon for … Turtles, Sting also incorporated strains of world music into his sound. With help from former bandmate Andy Summers, plus Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler and Annie Lennox, the former stands as perhaps the apogee of Sting's ambitions at this point in his career: its songs flow together as a whole, creating a mood piece, rather than a collection of individual recordings. The Soul Cages, meanwhile, saw him working with a smaller ensemble for a heartfelt meditation on mortality, bringing the curtain down on an extremely fertile period in Sting's career. (Its deeply personal storytelling would lay the groundwork for The Last Ship, Sting's 11th studio album, comprised of songs that featured in his stage production of the same name.)
Sting Ten Summoner's Tales Album Cover - 300Through much of the 90s, Sting focused on his songcraft, releasing perhaps his most straightforwardly radio-friendly albums since The Police's Synchronicity. Issued in 1993 and shooting to No.2 in both the US and UK, Ten Summoner's Tales found Sting in total command of his skills, creating a perfect pop album (with no fewer than seven singles worldwide, among them 'If I Ever Lose My Faith In You') that shot to No.2 in both the US and UK. Its follow-up, 1996's Mercury Falling, continued in the same vein, as Sting warded off both grunge and Britpop, emerging as a mature songwriter working at the peak of his powers.
Sting Brand New Day Album Cover - 300Entering the new millennium, Sting had little to prove. Brand New Day ended the 90s with an album that brought the likes of Stevie Wonder, BJ Cole and regular sideman Branford Marsalis on board for a work which merged everything that had come before: world music, jazz and Sting's natural pop inclinations. With strains of electronica creeping in, it proved that he'd lost none of the ambition of yore, and now had the skills to merge that with his finely crafted pop skills. With unwavering confidence, Sting pushed on into the 21st Century with 2003's Sacred Love. An album that fully incorporated the electronic strains of its predecessor, it also saw him working with a wide array of collaborators, among them R&B star Mary J Blige, flamenco guitarist Vincente Amigo, and sitar player Anoushka Shankar. His last studio album for 10 years, Sacred Love sat comfortably at No.3 in both the UK and US, proving that, four decades into his career, Sting's ability to create wide-ranging, forward-thinking pop music hadn't dimmed.

Too scared to leave your 9-to-5? Code Fellows' Brent Turner debunks silly startup myths
by Taylor Soper on October 22, 2013 at 4:37 pm October 23, 2013 at 9:51 am

You hear about the "startup leap" all the time, and for good reason. It's not easy to leave a steady job with nice pay for something that will likely fail.
But Brent Turner, president of Seattle's Code Fellows and veteran entrepreneur, has heard enough of the startup myths that keep people from making the leap.
Turner used his short keynote at Monday's Get a Real Job Fair to talk about the biggest reasons why people won't join a startup — and debunked them all.
1. "I'm busy building skills in a corporate job"
If that's your reason, Turner said you should think about the following questions in regard to your current job: How much have you been thinking about what customers want? About what your business strategy is? Your product strategy? How you differentiate against competitors, how they will evolve, and how you will evolve with them?
"If instead your week has involved PowerPoints, status updates, upward reports, agenda items and follow-ups on action times, maybe a startup is for you," Turner advised. "I think in most corporate jobs, you're building machinery for being effective in your current context, but not necessarily building skills that are really necessary to take you to the next level."
Code Fellows CEO Brett Turner.
2. "I don't want to join a startup because I'm more of an idea person"
Turner said he hears this and wonders what it means.
"If you haven't had the experience that helps you understand how to translate ideas into products that solve problems for customers, you know what your ideas are? They're bad," he said. "And they're dangerous."
He said those "idea people" should consider startups because the experience will teach you the processes it requires to take ideas to market.
"It's not simple at all," Turner said. "But it's a blast."
3. "It takes too much time to work at a startup"
Turner said that professional people can change the way they think about how their time is spent. For many, going to work tires you out and wears you down, while the time outside of the job is for activities you actually like to do.
"There's another way to think about it," Turner offered. "Find something that energizes you, so when you leave work, you're excited."
At his current job leading Code Fellows, a program running classes for engineers that guarantee a $60,000 tech job after graduation, Turner said he has fun. It's something he believes in, and something that gets him excited to go to work.
"Startups in general feel that way," he said.
Is the lack of venture capital funding a problem for the Seattle startup ecosystem?
4. "I don't want to take the financial risk"
There's no question that joining or founding a startup involves more risk financially than taking a secure corporate job. But Turner, who was working at aQuantive when Microsoft acquired the company for $6.3 billion in 2007, said that it can sometimes work out.
And even if your startup has trouble turning a profit or becoming acquired, there's still a lot of value you can earn by working at one. Turner said that your "NPV" as a job candidate increases if you have startup experience, which can eventually lead to higher wages down the road.
If Turner was hiring one candidate with five years of Microsoft experience, and someone else with two years of Microsoft experience and three years at a startup, he's taking the latter.
"Their NPV is just higher," he said of the candidate with startup chops. "They've seen more stuff, been challenged in more fundamental ways. "
5. "What if this fails?"
This is the big one: People are scared of a startup failing.
"It probably will," Turner admits.
But he quickly asks a follow-up question: What are you really afraid of?
"Are you afraid of having gone through a couple startups, failed, and gone through those processes?" he said. "Or are you afraid of looking up and realizing you plowed 10 years into a corporate job, and now you probably can't do a startup. It's a matter of perspective.
"Fear is to be put aside. It's about pursuing what you want because you don't want to look back with regrets. That's a conversation for every one of us and I encourage you to have it as you think about startups."

Motion Fails to Bring Back Outdoor Dining: Two County Supervisors Dispute Science Behind Banning Outdoor Dining
County Health Department warns they are close to issuing Safer at Home Order, closing all retail again.
LA Dept of Public Health
Grandparents are told to stay away from their families this Thanksgiving
Two Los Angeles County Supervisors led a failed attempt to reverse the county Department of Public Health's decision to close outdoor dining at area restaurants. Supervisors Kathryn Barger and Janice Hahn co-authored a motion to allow outdoor dining to continue at 50 percent capacity. The motion failed 3-2.
The two supervisors' motion followed an announcement on Sunday, November 22, by the county's Public Health Department that they were ordering the closure of all outdoor dining, after previously reducing such dining to 50 percent capacity on Friday, November 20. The health department had warned that if cases rose to a 5-day average of 4,000 or hospitalizations reached more than 1,750 per day, they would take this action. On Sunday, the five-day average for cases became 4,097. The case number is apparently what tipped the scales because the hospitalizations on that day were only 1,401 people.
The health department, in their statement on Sunday, repeated their warning of yet further action they will take should the five-day average of cases rise about 4,500 or hospitalizations go over 2,000 per day. In such case, they will issue a new Safer at Home Order, closing all but essential businesses.
Even before such order might take effect and close all retail, Public Health's Sunday statement "reminds everyone to stay home as much as possible for the next two to three weeks to change the trajectory of surging cases and save lives."
"As we modify our Thanksgiving holiday celebrations, we are reminded of the many families who will miss their loved ones who have passed away from COVID-19. We send wishes for healing and peace," added Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Director of Public Health.
In separate statements, Supervisors Barger and Hahn disputed the necessity or effectiveness of closing the restaurants outdoor dining capability. "There is no data to support closing restaurants," wrote Barger in a statement on Facebook. "This action was arbitrary and only further encourages private gatherings, which is where the virus is actually spreading." In her statement, Hahn agreed. " I don't think we have the data to prove that outdoor dining is driving the recent surge in cases, nor do we have the data to assure us that this action will turn our case numbers around. I am also very worried that it will drive more people to indoor gathering."
@justin_hart
Graphic showing relative percents of transmission by industry, constructed from Public Health data
Others on social media also disputed the evidence that restaurants are a major source of COVID transmission. Bill Melugin of FOXLA retweeted a graphic constructed by Justin Hart, based on LA County Public Health data, that showed restaurants responsible for only 3.1 percent of "outbreak" locations. Of these, most of the restaurants responsible were fast-food chains with no outdoor dining.
Since the two county supervisors were unconvinced of a scientific reason to close the restaurants, they decried what they considered the unjust economic burden on this sector. "It would be one thing if we had a new stimulus from the Federal government so that we could help the restaurants and the people losing their paychecks-but we don't," wrote Hahn. "We asked businesses to invest substantial resources to ensure safety, only to force them to close. Small businesses cannot withstand these constant changes and deserve better," wrote Barger.

Some photos from when my littler sister, Meg, got married to Rob in York. It was a fantastically unplanned day, keeping me on my toes and the whole process interesting, but I'd never expect anything less from Meg. Plenty of colour, an impromptu stop off by the river and in the museum gardens, the ceremony, a drizzly open top bus journey, some great food at Patisserie Valerie and a lovely night do... what more could you want?

Q: How to move from Graphlab to pandas I've been learning Graphlab, but wanted to take a look at pandas as well since it's open source and in the future I might find myself at a company that doesn't have a GL license, and I was wondering how pandas would handle creating a basic model the way I can with GL.
data = pd.read_csv("~/Downloads/diamonds.csv")
sframe  = gl.SFrame(data)
train_data, test_data = sframe.random_split(.8, seed=1)
train, test = train_test_split(data, train_size=0.75, random_state=88)
reg_model = gl.linear_regression.create(train_data, target="price", features=["carat","cut","color"], validation_set=None)

What would be the pandas equivalent of the last line above?

A: pandas itself doesn't have any predictive modeling built in (that i know of).
Here is a good link on how to leverage pandas in a statistical model. This one too.
pandas is probably one of the best (if not the best) modules for data manipulation in Python. It'll make storing data and manipulating the data for modeling much easier than lists and reading CSVs, etc.
Reading in files is as easy as (notice how intuitive it is):
import pandas as pd
# Excel
df1 = read_excel(PATH_HERE)
# Csv
df1 = read_csv(PATH_HERE)
# JSON
df1 = read_json(PATH_HERE)

and to spit it out:
# Excel
d1.to_excel(PATH_HERE)
# Need I go on again??

It also makes filtering and slicing your data very simple. Here is the official doc:
For modeling purposes have a look at
sklearn and NLTK for text analysis. There are others, but those are the ones I've used.

A: For modelling, you have to use sklearn library. The last line equivalent is:
model = sklearn.linear_model.LogisticRegression()
model.fit(train_data["carat","cut","color"], train_data["price"])

Credit by Testing and Experience
Credit for Students with Earned Undergraduate or Graduate Degrees
Repeating a course
Appeals of final course grades
Academic amnesty
Graduation Guidelines
Standards of Academic Progress
2014-2015 Catalog > Academic Policies and Procedures > Grading System
A – Excellent: The student has demonstrated outstanding proficiency in mastering course objectives. (4 points per credit in computation of grade point average)
B – Above average: The student has demonstrated above average proficiency in mastering course objectives. (3 points per credit in computation of grade point average)
C – Average: The student has demonstrated average proficiency in mastering course objectives. (2 points per credit in computation of grade point average)
D – Below average: The student has demonstrated below average but passing proficiency in mastering course objectives. (1 point per credit in computation of grade point average)
F – Failing: The student has not demonstrated a minimum passing proficiency in mastering course objectives. (0 points per credit in computation of grade point average)
FX – Failure related to non-attendance: The student stops attending a class or participating in an online class, does not return, and fails. (0 points per credit in computation of grade point average). The FX grade was discontinued after the 13/SP quarter.
I – Incomplete: Due to extenuating circumstances, students may be given an extension of time to complete course objectives. Assignment of I grades is a faculty prerogative and is issued when students who have completed the majority of the course requirements are unable to complete the remainder due to unusual or extenuating circumstances. An I grade must be made up approximately three weeks prior to the end of the next quarter or it becomes an F. (Does not count in computation of grade point average)
P – Pass: P is an indication that the student has completed the coursework satisfactorily. It is used for developmental courses and other courses at the discretion of the College. (Does not count in the computation of grade point average)
R – Re-enroll: The student has made satisfactory progress and should re-enroll until course objectives are completed. R is used for developmental courses only. (Does not count in computation of grade point average)
V – Audit: An audit (no credit) does not count in computation of a grade point average. Audit requests may only be submitted during the first week of class and are processed during the second week. An audit is not an option for online classes.
W – Withdrawal: W is an indication of an action requested by the student. The student must officially withdraw from a course prior to the last day to drop classes. The student may drop via My Services or call Registration to officially withdraw. W's may not be changed to a grade. (Does not count in the computation of grade point average)
WX – Administrative withdrawal: The student registers but never attends the class or engages in a class activity by the date specified in the class syllabus. Administrative withdrawal/disenrollment of a student is based upon the instructor's report via the MCC Student Participation Roster, completed on or before the census date, the 10th day of an academic quarter.
Z – Unreported grade: Z indicates that a grade has not been reported by the faculty member. (Does not count in computation of grade point average)
Students' GPA's are determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of credits attempted in those courses that count toward students' GPA.
To calculate a GPA:
grade value x credit hours completed = grade points
4 x 4.5 = 18
3 x 4.5 = 13.5
2 x 4.5 = 9
1 x 4.5 = 4.5
Hours completed
Grade points
ENGL 1010
BSAD 1000
ACCT 1050
Take the total number of grade points (30) and divide by total hours completed (16.5): GPA= 1.82
Note: Actions of R, P, W ,V , and Z do not apply toward the GPA but do appear in attempted hours.
Students who wish to attend a course without taking examinations or receiving credit for a course may request to audit the course. Students intending to audit should not register for the courses as they cannot already be enrolled in a class they wish to audit. Instead, they must request an audit from the instructor during the first week of class only. Students who audit a class pay the regular tuition rate and fees. Audited courses do not count toward graduation requirements nor do they satisfy prerequisite requirements for other courses. However, audited courses do appear on the transcript with the legend of V.
Courses that are eligible for audit are determined by the appropriate academic dean; some courses may not be available for audit. Online courses may not be audited. An audit student may not change from audit to credit status once the course has started.
Audited courses are not considered when establishing the full- or part-time status of a student receiving financial aid or veteran's benefits.
Students may repeat a course in which they did not receive at least a C grade. Both grades remain on the permanent record; the latest grade is used to compute the GPA. Courses may not be repeated for credit if the final grade was a C or better unless approved through the academic dean.
Final grades for repeated courses for those graduating must first be verified by the Records office in order for those students to be considered for graduation requirements.
Students who wish to appeal a final course grade need to follow the appeal procedure listed below. The appeal process for final course grades must be initiated no later than the end of the quarter (the last class day) following the quarter in which the course was completed.
The appeal process begins when a student writes a letter to the instructor (first level of appeal). Upon receipt of the instructor's response, the student may appeal, if necessary, in writing to the next level, the appropriate academic dean (second level of appeal). Upon receipt of the academic dean's response, the student may appeal, if necessary, to the final level, the vice president for academic affairs, for a final decision.
The procedure for a final course grade appeal at MCC requires that the student and instructor first have a conversation with the expectation of resolving the grading issue between them. The question is mainly whether or not the instructor's syllabus has been followed.
If, after that conversation, there is still disagreement about whether or not the instructor has adhered to the syllabus in dealing with the student's final grade issue, the student may put his or her concern officially in writing to the instructor.
The purpose of that appeal letter (or email) is to seek resolution between student and instructor, pointing specifically to the syllabus and how the student can show that the procedures set up in the syllabus were not upheld.
The instructor's written reply to this letter usually suffices to resolve the issue.
A grade appeal makes it to the level of the academic dean only in the rare cases when a written appeal to the instructor is unsuccessful.
The purpose of the written appeal to the academic dean is to show how the student was not dealt with in accordance with procedures set up in the instructor's syllabus and how the instructor erred in his or her response to the student's written appeal. When a written appeal is submitted to an academic dean, the student must attach the syllabus for the course, the student's written appeal to the instructor, and the instructor's written reply.
A grade appeal makes it to the level of the vice president for academic affairs in the unlikely event that an appeal was not resolved at the first level (instructor) or the second level (academic dean). The student must submit a written appeal that shows how the student was not dealt with in accordance to the procedures set up in the instructor's syllabus and, specifically, where the instructor and the academic dean erred in their respective responses. When a written appeal is submitted to the vice president for academic affairs, the student must attach the syllabus for the course, the student's written appeals to both the instructor and the academic dean, and the respective responses from the instructor and the academic dean.
Final course grade appeal decisions made by the vice president for academic affairs are final and not subject to further appeal.
Students who wish to petition for academic amnesty (elimination of a course(s) from a previous quarter), must meet the below provisions. The amnesty process begins when a student meets with an academic advisor to complete the petition. The petition requests the elimination of up to two quarters of students' classes from the computation of their GPA.
Academic amnesty can be granted only one time and is not reversible.
Students must have successfully completed a minimum of 24.0 credit hours at 1000- or 2000-level MCC classes with a minimum GPA of 2.50 after the most recent quarter being petitioned for amnesty.
Academic amnesty is applied to D and F grades only, which are eliminated from GPA calculation and hours attempted. Courses in which students received an A, B, or C grade continue to be included in students' overall GPAs and are exempt from academic amnesty.
Students' permanent records (transcripts) reflect the original grade(s) received. Original grades are marked with a pound sign (#) on students' transcripts but are not included in the GPA calculation.
NOTE: Academic amnesty has no bearing on financial aid eligibility, as all quarters, including those for which academic amnesty is granted, must be considered.


I'm sure someone's noticed that we at the Naked Grape have a thing for Sauvignon Blanc. So, here's yet another great example of what this great grape can become. It's from the far eastern end of the Loire Valley in central France, 100% from the village of Saint Laurent l'Abbaye.
While California Sauv Blancs tend toward heavy fruit and New Zealand Sauv Blancs tend toward heavy grassy and citrus-y flavors, those from French tend to downplay the fruit and emphasize the mineral backbone of the wine. Pouilly-Fumé shows a variation on the French style with starker minerality, even gun-flint, that is particularly food-friendly. This wine is bright and pale gold in color. The nose is notably mineral with hints of white flowers. It's delicate, well-balanced, crisp and fresh with good length in the mouth.
We invite you to enjoy our wine bar's various selections of wines and tremendously delicious recipes made from scratch every day especially for you.

Hélène Cixous (; Orã, 5 de junho de 1937 ) é uma ensaísta, dramaturga, poetisa e crítica literária francesa. É também professora da European Graduate School. Recebeu diversos títulos honorários de universidades canadenses, irlandesas, britânicas e americanas. Mantém um seminário no Collège International de Philosophie desde 1983.

Autora de uma vasta obra, incluindo ensaios,  romances  e peças teatrais, Cixous é também conhecida como uma das pioneiras feministas da Europa. Foi uma das fundadoras da Universidade Paris VIII - Vincennes e, em 1974, criou, no âmbito da universidade, o Centre de Recherches en Etudes Féminines (atual Centre d'études féminines et d'études de genre), a primeira instituição europeia de pesquisa dedicada ao estudo das questões femininas e do feminismo.

Nasceu em Orã, Argélia (na época, uma colônia francesa). Sua mãe era uma parteira judia alemã; seu pai era um médico, judeu argelino, que, por algum tempo, foi proibido de exercer a profissão pelas leis de Vichy. Seu pai, George Cixous, morreu precocemente de tuberculose, em 1948, quando Hélène tinha apenas 10 anos.

Em 1955, ela deixou a Argélia para estudar em Paris. Só retornou à sua terra natal em 2005.

Obra
Hélène Cixous publicou cerca de sessenta títulos. Além de ensaios e literatura de ficção, ela é também autora de peças teatrais que foram encenadas por Simone Benmussa, por Daniel Mesguich e por Ariane Mnouchkine no Théâtre du Soleil. Em 1963, ela encontrou Jacques Derrida, com quem manteve uma longa amizade e compartilhou inúmeras atividades políticas e intelectuais, incluindo os primeiros anos da Universidade Paris-VIII (Vincennes-Saint-Denis, criada em 1969), o Centre national des lettres (atual Centre national du livre), o Parlamento Internacional dos Escritores, o Comitê Antiapartheid, além de colóquios e seminários no Collège International de Philosophie. Eles compartilharam algumas publicações  em comum ou cruzadas, como Voiles, Portrait de Jacques Derrida en Jeune Saint Juif (Galilée, 2001), H.C. pour la vie, c'est à dire… (Galilée, 2002).

Além de ensaios sobre Derrida e James Joyce, ela também escreveu sobre  Clarice Lispector, Maurice Blanchot, Franz Kafka, Heinrich von Kleist, Montaigne, Ingeborg Bachmann, Thomas Bernhard, e a poetisa russa Marina Tsvetaeva. Seu ensaio O Riso da Medusa foi traduzido em dezenas de línguas.

Q: Dbus mainloop.h missing error I used
gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs dbus-1` hello-serv.c  -o server

to compile a dbus program and getting error:
hello-serv.c:7:32: fatal error: dbus/dbus-mainloop.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

I'm developing in C low level API.
I couldn't find the mainloop.h in any of the include directories.

A: If dbus development files is installed correctly,
the installed dbus might be old
so that it does not have dbus-mainloop.h
If you have yum, try this to check dbus-mainloop.h is provided or not.
# yum provides '*/dbus-mainloop.h'

If it returns none, you should consult with dbus-document for corresponding version.
