Nationalism refers to different, sometimes competing, ideologies/movements supporting different nations. Views on nations and nationalism vary, politically correct views seeing the movements/ideologies as recent social constructs, less politically correct views as having partially genetic and racial origins.
A nation is the sense of ethnic/racial nationalism is an ethnic/racial community with shared (genetic) ancestry, shared identity, and shared (genetic) interests.
Ethnicity, nation, and race are related terms with ethnicity emphasizing cultural aspects, nation emphasizing political aspects, and race emphasizing genetic aspects.
The word nation ultimately derives from the Proto-Indo-European root "gene" "to produce, give birth, beget," with derivatives referring to family and tribal groups. Another derivative is the Lain word "gens" with similarities to nation and race. "In classical and Medieval literature, the major term in ethnographic descriptions was gens—a Latin word that is usually translated as "people" or "nation." Significantly, gens connotes a common ancestry or stock (hence its etymological link with genero, to beget or produce), reflecting an ancient way of understanding a nation not as a social or political unit, but as a group of people linked by origin. Gens was therefore close in meaning to "race," understood in the traditional sense of "lineage" or "extraction.""
Ethnic/racial nationalism has been argued to have partially genetic causes. See the article on Racial genetic interests.
There are also partially non-genetic aspects of nationalism, such as preferences for different customs, languages, clothing, food, and so on. However, such different preferences may to some degree be influenced by genetic differences. Furthermore, increasing the differentiation of a group from other groups by cultural markers, even if these markers are to some degree arbitrary, may have served the genetic interest of the group, for reasons such as increasing group cohesion/cooperation and by making it easier to quickly spot non-group intruders.
Ethnic/racial nationalism is often associated with a particular territory and support for greater autonomy/independence for this territory, if it is not already independent. Also this may have partially genetic causes. See Racial genetic interests: Ethnicity and territory.
Ethnic/racial nationalism often argues against race mixing, ethnic heterogeneity, and mass immigration, arguing that these are against the genetic interests of the race/ethnicity, as well as causing other negative effects. See the articles on effects of race mixing, ethnic heterogeneity, and migration.
A state is in one sense a political entity with a high degree of sovereignty over a particular territory. A state can be an independent country, but need not be, such as in a federation of states.
A "nation state" occurs when (almost) all members of a state are members of one nation. Ethnic/racial nationalist movements typically support nation states for their nations and often preferably nation states that are independent countries. They may also argue more generally that all nations have the right to nation states.
The members of a particular nation may be divided among several nation states and/or not live in nation states. A nation state may or may not include all or parts of the traditionally ancestral territory of a nation.
The word "state" is sometimes used in a different sense, as a synonym for "government", but that is not the sense intended in nation state.
Critics of ethnic/racial nations and nationalism often claim that they are recent social construct, that were created and maintained in order to increase internal support among the population for a country and its regime. Nation states and nationalism are often seen as 19th-century European creations, associated with developments such as obligatory state-mandated education, mass literacy, and mass media, supposedly creating in the general population socially constructed senses of national identity and nationalism. This is associated with seeing races as recent social constructs and race denialism.
"Civic nationalism" is different from ethnic/racial nationalism. "Nation" is interpreted as being similar in meaning to country. Nationalism is therefore interpreted as being support for a particular country, without this having deeper ethnic/racial foundations.
Such forms of argued nationalism can then include support for multiracial/multicultural countries, which consist of many different groups with few shared interests and identities, except possibly a superficial, artificially created civic "nationalist" identity.
See also the article on Civic nationalism.
The word "nationalistic" is according to one dictionary "always used to indicate disapproval of someone's views."

Mrs Lunn and a group of students making Easter baskets.
Lots of activity in Room 1!
Shakira working on chick symmetry!
We have had a lovely Easter themed last day of term. The students have made Easter baskets with Mrs Lunn, chick muffins and rice bubble baskets with Vicky and colouring, mazes and co-ordinate with Mrs Jackson.
We are looking forward to the Easter egg hunt this afternoon!
A big thank you to Vicky! We appreciate you giving up your time and organising such yummy baking!!


The main problem with all the many versions is the reliance on each user having a password. The password is used to generate the anonymised ID that represents people on the lovemap and encrypt your information. If you forget the password, then it can't tie you to your ID any more and if you use a new password, you get another ID. Which means that you can end up with a lovemap that involves just 2 people, but has dozens of blobs.
Which is pretty much what has happened on the FB version - there are apparently 2000+ IDs in the system and IIRC only a few hundred actual signed up users. The urge to wipe all the data, remove the need for a password and store everything in clear text is very strong right now. Or maybe have some kind of migration process so that at least some of the data is kept.
Either way, I think this weekend is going to involve a lot of tinkering with code.

'The Simpsons' to Recreate Queen's 'Live Aid' Performance
Dave Lifton Published: October 6, 2019
Tomorrow night's (Oct. 6) episode of The Simpsons will feature a Queen reference, with the long-running animated program recreating the band's show-stealing performance at the 1985 Live Aid concert at London's Wembley Stadium.
Blabbermouth posted the news, along with a promotional shot of Homer Simpson dressed as Freddie Mercury was on that day singing before a stadium full of people, including Simpsons recurring characters Groundskeeper Willie, Moe, Carl and Ranier Wolfcastle. Queen guitarist Brian May subsequently posted a link to the story on his social media channels. The original Live Aid performance was recreated in the hit biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, with the entire 22-minute set being shot in one take.
The episode is titled "Go Big or Go Homer," and TV Guide's synopsis describes the plot as "Homer is demoted to supervising interns, among whom is go-getter millennial Mike, a 35-year-old who asks Homer to be his mentor. However, when Homer inspires Mike to start a business of his own, the two find themselves being chased by the mob."
How that puts Homer in costume as Mercury is anyone's guess, but it's the latest Queen reference in a line of them that goes back to The Simpsons' second season, with Homer singing a singularized version of "We Are the Champions" after catching a giant fish. Homer and friends later drunkenly sang the same song in the showers of the elementary school following a baseball victory in Season 10's "Wild Barts Can't Be Broken." Homer, Lenny and Carl also sang "We Will Rock You" in Season 18's "Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em."
Queen have also been mentioned a few other times in the show's history. In "Three Gays of the Condo" from Season 14, Homer suggests to "Weird Al" Yankovic that he write a pizza-themed Queen parody called "Another One Bites the Crust." In "My Fare Lady" from Season 26, a clean-shaven nuclear regulator says that the reason why he's wearing a mustache in his badge is because, "I was Freddie Mercury in a Queen cover band, but then I got demoted to Brian May." In Season 4's "Duffless," Homer moans over his attempt at a month of sobriety by singing "It Was a Very Good Beer," where he recalls purchasing his first beer with a fake ID and staying up all night listening to Queen.
But only once has the show used Queen's music. In "Moe Baby Blues," also from Season 14, a photo montage of Homer, Maggie and Moe going on adventures was seen over the strains of "You're My Best Friend."

Het Kras Stadion (ook wel geschreven als KRAS Stadion) is een voetbalstadion dat vooral wordt gebruikt voor de thuiswedstrijden van FC Volendam. Het Volendam stadion heeft een aantal jaren de naam Veronicastadion gehad, maar sinds 2002 wordt de naam Kras Stadion gebruikt. Sinds het seizoen 2006/07 ligt er kunstgras in het stadion.

Het stadion is oorspronkelijk in 1975 gebouwd maar sinds 1992 in stappen volledig vernieuwd. Het bestaat uit vier tribunes, namelijk de Dr. Duin-tribune, later omgedoopt tot Henk Kras-tribune, de Jaap Jonk-tribune, de Jaap Bond-tribune en de Pé Mühren-tribune, tezamen goed voor een capaciteit van 6.984 toeschouwers (exclusief uitvak). In het uitvak is plaats voor 400 toeschouwers. Op de Jaap Jonk-tribune zit de Hekside, een sfeergroep.

Na de bouw is het stadion nog verschillende keren verbouwd. In de zomer van 2010 werd de oude Jaap Jonk-tribune gesloopt en vervangen door een nieuwe, grotere tribune. Een paar jaar later werden de twee hoeken naast de Kras tribune dichtgebouwd; hier zitten nu onder andere skyboxen. In de zomer van 2016 werden de skyboxen op de hoofdtribune volledig verbouwd.

Verdeling van plaatsen in het stadion:
Henk Kras Tribune (Ere-tribune): 1080 zitplaatsen /
Pé Mühren-tribune (zuid): 1537 zitplaatsen /
Jaap Bond-tribune (noord): 1030 zitplaatsen, excl. uitvak /
Jaap Jonk-tribune: 2119 zitplaatsen /
Overig (onder andere skyboxen, business seats): 634 zitplaatsen.

Op 18 februari 2023 werd het Kras Stadion eenmalig omgedoopt tot "Wim Kras Stadion" om Wim Kras te eren.

Toekomst
In 2021 werd bekend dat FC Volendam de mogelijkheid onderzoekt tot de bouw van een nieuw stadion aan de rand van Volendam die het huidige zou moeten vervangen. De voorlopige werknaam van dit nieuwe stadion is '"t Skip". Het stadion zou een capaciteit moeten krijgen van minimaal 10.000 toeschouwers.

Autologous Mesenchymal stem cells prevent transplant arteriosclerosis by enhancing local expression of interleukin-10, interferon-γ, and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase
Hsiang Yiang Jui, Cheng Hsin Lin, Wan Tseng Hsu, Yi Ru Liu, Ron Bin Hsu, Bor Luen Chiang, Wen Yih I Tseng, Ming Fong Chen, Kenneth K. Wu, Chii Ming Lee
Transplant arteriosclerosis (TA) remains the major limitation of long-term graft survival in heart transplantation despite the advances in immunosuppressants. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to suppress allogeneic immune responses by numerous in vitro studies. However, the immunomodulatory effects of MSCs in vivo are controversial and the underlying molecular mechanisms are not conclusive. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs on TA in a porcine model of femoral artery transplantation. MSCs or saline were injected into the soft tissue surrounding the arterial grafts immediately postanastomosis. Four weeks after transplantation, neointimal formation increased significantly in untreated allografts compared with the MSC-treated grafts as assessed by intravascular ultrasound (maximum luminal area stenosis: 40 ± 12% vs. 18 ± 6%, p <0.001). Grafts harvested at 4 weeks showed dense perivascular lymphocyte infiltration accompanied by significant intimal hyperplasia in the untreated but not in the MSC-treated allografts. Serial angiographic examination showed that all of the untreated allografts became occluded at the 8th week whereas the majority of the MSC-treated grafts remained patent at the 12th week posttransplantation (n = 12 each group, p <0.001). Quantitative PCR analysis revealed that Foxp3 expression was comparable between the untreated and the MSC-treated groups. However, expression of interleukin-10 (IL-10), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) was increased significantly in the MSC-treated allografts compared with that in the allograft controls (p = 0.021 for IL-10, p = 0.003 for IFN-γ, and p = 0.008 for IDO). In conclusion, local delivery of autologous MSCs alleviates TA by inducing allograft tolerance via enhanced expression of IL-10, IFN-γ, and IDO but not Foxp3-positive cells in the vessel wall. These results suggest that MSCs induce immune tolerance by activating the type 1 regulatory T-like cells.

The Model S come with standard 19′ rims and optional 21′ rims. If you want to change your wheels you can fit 20′ rims on your Model S. In Australia we are lucky because there is one popular car whose rim specifications are very similar: the Commodore.
Tyre quality: It is recommended to go at least Ultra High Performance tyres as this is a heavy car. Falken 453, Khumo KU39 or similar, or better can be a good choice.
Higher sidewall (see why here) therefore more comfortable ride.
Lower sidewall leads to very precise handling.
The standard rim plus worn tyre was weighted in at 27.1kg.
20 inch rims are an option that sits just between the larger and the smaller Tesla options.
Falling between the 19s and 21s in all the other categories.
They look large enough to fill the arches, but not overtly large for those who dislike the "boy-racer" low profile for the 21s.
A set of turbines plus tyres are AU$7,200.
A set of King-produced 20′ rims weighing 12.9kg each was recently purchased at AU$1,156.
245/40/R20 Ultra High Performance tyres can be had from $210~$220 per corner.
All in all, it would depend on what one would like to do with their Model S. If comfort is paramount, then 19s are the way to go. If handling is paramount, then 21s are the thing. For practicality purposes tho, a set of 20′ rims (please ensure weight is under 14kg/rim) with your choice of tyre can not be beaten. Handling, dynamics, looks and affordability are superior to 19s, Blow-out resistance, treadwear, tyre availability, rim rash protection and affordability are superior to 21s. In my opinion, they are the perfect compromise for having a supercar as your daily driver.

Dr. Ann Cavoukian
Executive Director, Global Privacy by Design Centre
Dr. Ann Cavoukian is recognized as one of the world's leading privacy experts. Dr. Cavoukian served an unprecedented three terms as the Information & Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada. There she created Privacy by Design, a framework that seeks to proactively embed privacy into the design specifications of information technologies, networked infrastructure, and business practices, thereby achieving the strongest protection possible. In 2010, International Privacy Regulators unanimously passed a Resolution recognizing Privacy by Design as an International Standard. Since then, PbD has been translated into 40 languages! In 2018, PbD was included in a sweeping new law in the EU: the General Data Protection Regulation.
Dr. Cavoukian is now the Executive Director of the Global Privacy & Security by Design Centre. She is also a Senior Fellow of the Ted Rogers Leadership Centre at Ryerson University, and a Faculty Fellow of the Center for Law, Science & Innovation at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.

As the drinking water advisory persists for residents of Pullman's Mystic View apartment complex, the Michigan Department of Environmental Health is busy testing the water.
A routine water test May 10 showed high levels of cadmium. The water is safe for bathing but not drinking, as cadmium damages kidneys, lungs and bones when ingested.
As of June 25, the department had not yet determined the source of the cadmium, so it may or may not mean the groundwater is contaminated, according to Heather Bishop, district supervisor at MDEQ's Kalamazoo office.
None of those four wells showed elevated levels for any of the metals tested for, including antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium and thallium. Community water supplies are all required to be tested for these elements.
She said lead wasn't regulated at the point of entry of a water system anyway, so it doesn't result in a violation.
The remaining eight wells were sampled June 19 and results were expected soon.
"Lab turn-around time can take up to 10 days under normal circumstances," Bishop said. "We have not established a routine sampling frequency at this time, as we are still trying to quantify the cadmium and its source.
That source will play a role in determining how long the water will be unsafe to drink.
Bishop said the water could be treated to remove the cadmium.
"The Michigan Safe Drinking Water Act lists multiple approved treatment methods for cadmium, should treatment be an appropriate avenue to explore," she said. "We are investigating the source of cadmium at this time, and will make decisions about resolution and treatment at the end of the investigation.
According to Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, eating food or drinking water with very high levels of cadmium severely irritates the stomach, leading to vomiting and diarrhea.
The normal limit for cadmium in drinking water is 0.005 mg per liter, or 5 parts per billion.

Now that you realize different options and types of the , what kind should you choose? the choice to pick a qualified depends on your needs, the element with the room, and layout, design from the area. As an illustration, for those who have a compact apartment with a significant limited space for any family area, you are likely going to discover the sectionals or compact sofa as opposed to the full sofa set. Or for those who have kids in your own home, you'll pick the safe part of (such since the one crafted from leather) instead those made of your rock or stone.
Today, there are plenty of versions which might be custom made with some home planning themes or templates, consequently you don't need to think about acquiring of which works in your home. There is also home furniture designed many different features just to save place and have a one of a kind as well as minimal design. Therefore we have to be more mindful inside searching out the furniture this is actually essential as well as great for the home. Choice of the ideal pieces of furniture may add inner surface highlights on your home. Your house results in being more inviting in addition to comfortable.

HAGERSTOWN, Md., Jan. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — DocuTrac, Inc., a leading developer of software for the behavioral health industry, announced the inclusion of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) documentation content in their QuicDoc® EMR Professional Edition Software. According to DocuTrac's President Arnie Schuster , Ph.D., documentation content for EMDR will enable customers who are trained, certified mental health professionals to record EMDR treatment for clients suffering from Post Traumatic Stress.
The return home of our military men and woman affected by the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq has once again brought to our attention the need for effective, efficient treatment of psychological trauma. EMDR, a nationally recognized therapy, was originated by Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late eighties. According to the EMDR International Association, EMDR therapy has been extensively researched and has consistently proven to be one of the most effective treatments for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), especially helpful for military personnel having faced traumatic events during a tour of duty.
Last year, Dr. Schuster was approached by Shelley Kaufman , Ph.D., a long time customer and user of their QuicDoc EMR software for documenting treatment and patient care. Dr. Kaufman has worked extensively using EMDR therapy with her patients. She asked to have EMDR documentation content incorporated in the QuicDoc software. Dr Schuster liked the idea and immediately began the project. EMDR documentation content was created as a group of notes that can be accessed from within the QuicDoc software. The pilot project was launched at the EMDR International Association Conference in California last year.

Top Drone: Will Fighter Robots Replace Fighter Pilots?
America's aircraft carriers face fresh threats. But will the new breed of warplanes that meet those threats be flown by top Navy pilots, or will they be incredibly advanced autonomous UAVs? The dogfight for the future of navy flying is on.
By Joe Pappalardo
For Ensign Kyndra Chitwood, learning how to fly blind is just part of becoming a U.S. naval aviator.
The 23-year-old strides across the flight line at Naval Air Station Whiting Field. Around her, dozens of orange and white T-34 Mentor training aircraft are lined up, fuselages gleaming in the Florida sun. Pairs of student—trainer teams in flightsuits are making their way to and from the aircraft. A formation flight of two T-34s cruises overhead, wingtip to wingtip.
Chitwood is readying herself for a tense afternoon in the air. A typical five-day week at Whiting, 25 miles northeast of Pensacola in the Florida panhandle, features daily flying tests; each is a high-pressure evaluation. Today Chitwood must prove she can pilot the T-34 using instruments alone.
Just after takeoff she will pull a nylon hood across half of the cockpit canopy to block her vision, then steer the single-engine prop plane through landing approaches at several civilian airfields. She will be asked to demonstrate her ability to use GPS signals, UHF transponders on the ground and radio commands from radar operators.
Within 40 minutes of suiting up, Chitwood and her instructor are cleared for takeoff. The aircraft buzzes down the runway and sails into the sky, banking toward Marianna Municipal Airport, 120 miles east. She would normally handle takeoff on her own, but the instrument tests require that she sit in the T-34's back seat, so her instructor guides the aircraft into the air.
The clouds are so thick she can't see the horizon, so there's no need to pull the hood closed. Once her instructor removes his hands from the controls, the day's aerial evaluation will begin.
Kyndra Chitwood
Primary flight instruction here is the start of a process that makes U.S. naval pilots the best in the world. Every student in the class is graded on a bell curve, and those who score highest usually get first choice of flight assignments.
These aviators are jockeying against one another for seats in cockpits, but the generation of naval pilots after Chitwood may be grounded by new competition: robots. The Navy is aggressively researching the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for jobs now performed by people. By the time a pilot like Chitwood retires in 2030, assuming a full career, there could be a lot fewer aircraft for her replacement to fly.
Dogfight for the Future
Strike fighters are the teeth of an aircraft carrier, protecting the ship from aerial threats and attacking targets on the ground. The idea that UAVs can perform these missions is heretical to officials who say that a carrier deck is too complex for an unmanned aircraft. But the orthodoxy is changing, and two naval aircraft are now vying for future dominance.
In one corner, there's the Navy's marquee future warplane, the F-35C Lightning II. A product of the Joint Strike Fighter program, the F-35C will be the Navy's first stealth aircraft. At $133 million per airplane, it is the most expensive defense program in the world.
The JSF program started in 1996; five years later, Lockheed Martin beat Boeing for the multibillion-dollar contract. The program is producing three F-35 variants: one for the Navy, another for the Air Force and a short-takeoff and vertical-landing version for the Marine Corps. Each aircraft is now nearing the end of a tortured development—years late and tens of billions of dollars over budget.
In the opposing corner is the X-47B, an experimental airplane with something to prove. Even though it's just a demonstrator, it has folding wings that enable it to fit inside a carrier's hangar, twin weapons bays and the ability to fly at high subsonic speeds. The program started in 2000 as one of two $2 million concept studies, but the UAV is no longer a line-item underdog.
The X-47B is a testbed supporting the $2.5 billion Unmanned Carrier Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike program. UCLASS may result in an unmanned aircraft that can perform the same missions as the F-35C but would stay in the air longer and be harder to spot on radar.
When he was selected to head the X-47B program in late 2010, Capt. Jaime Engdahl thought the UAVs would be remotely piloted onto the deck with a joystick. "I didn't even realize, until I really started digging, how advanced some of the things that we're doing are," he says. "This is, no kidding, making an air vehicle that's autonomous and as self-sufficient as a naval aviator."
A few years ago, predictions that the F-35C would be the last piloted Navy fighter seemed overly dramatic. But as the X-47B progresses, the prediction is more realistic. The Navy will not deploy the F-35C on a carrier until late 2016. The Pentagon plans to integrate strike UAVs into the fleet by 2018.
Despite stalwart support from Navy brass, politicians are considering trimming the F-35C and other JSF variants: In 2010 the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform (Bowles-Simpson Commission) recommended halving orders of F-35Cs.
There are signs that the budget crisis may change the landscape within the Navy. Aviation Week obtained a 2011 memo from U.S. Navy Undersecretary Robert Work asking Navy brass to seek alternatives to the F-35C. (He also asked the Marine Corps to examine the impact of eliminating the problematic F-35B.) The response will be ready for the 2013 budget.
The Navy's need for the F-35C and the new UAVs is based on the emergence of fresh threats. Any future strike aircraft needs to be stealthy—advanced radar and antiaircraft missiles make strike and surveillance missions dangerous.
There are other threats that will likely force carriers to operate at greater distances from targets. China is fielding submarines that can lurk in the shallows, where side-scan sonar is less effective. These quiet subs are armed with sea-skimming missiles that can slip past a ship's defenses. The Russians build and sell sophisticated warplanes that can venture from air bases on land to swarm a carrier and its escorts with air-to-ship missiles.
The emergence of these close-to-shore threats is bad news for the Navy because the reach of its strike aircraft has been decreasing since the 1980s. The F-35C's 640-nautical-mile combat radius will reverse the trend, but UAVs such as the X-47B easily double that distance.
And there's another metric to consider: the amount of time a stealth warplane can linger over a target. The military calls this attribute persistence. A manned aircraft's persistence is limited by the endurance of the human onboard. A weaponized UAV, on the other hand, can track a target for dozens of hours in protected airspace and then drop a precision weapon on command.
"My thinking is that [UAV adoption] is too damn slow," Adm. Gary Roughead, chief of naval operations, said during a speech in August. "We've got to have a sense of urgency about getting this stuff out there."
Where Robots Get Their Wings
This July, Lt. Jeremy Debons made aviation history by doing nothing at all. DeBons, call sign Silas, flew a one-of-a-kind F/A-18D through the vast Atlantic test range off the coast of Virginia. His destination: the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower. The F/A-18D and the carrier were loaded with a slew of sensors that enabled the warplane to land on the carrier's deck without any piloting from the cockpit or remote operation by the ship's crew.
The F/A-18D was a surrogate for the X-47B demonstration aircraft. The goal of the summer tests was to prove that the brains of a robot can guide a warplane to a carrier's pitching deck. If this demonstration program succeeds, the Navy can proceed with the UCLASS procurement. After the X-47B becomes carrier-ready, it will then autonomously rendezvous with aerial refueling tankers.
Future unmanned aircraft will not be flown by crews via joystick, as Air Force personnel currently operate MQ-1B Predators. Once launched, a UAV following a prearranged mission plan will use onboard sensors to avoid other aircraft and dodge enemy attacks. It will also identify targets in the air and on the ground and track them without direct command. (These UAVs will contact controllers for permission to release weapons.)
Landing on an aircraft carrier is one of the most difficult feats of aviation, requiring a clever mesh of man and machine. The Navy is building the X-47B's landing capability on technology pilots use today, the Precision Approach Landing System. PALS uses SPN-46 radar to locate an aircraft in relation to a carrier.
To perform the occasional hands-off landing, such as when weather obscures the ship, an F/A-18 pilot can couple the plane's autopilot with PALS data. But the PALS radar covers only the rear of the carrier and is limited by the number of aircraft it can track simultaneously. These deficiencies make it unsuitable for controlling UAVs that are approaching to land.
Instead, the Navy's robotic landing system relies on precise GPS coordinates to obtain 360-degree coverage and automate navigation. The airplane calculates the appropriate flight paths around the ship as the carrier supplies the vessel's speed, the sea state and other data.
The concept behind the X-47B is to replace pilots—but not a ship's crew. As with other carrier-borne aircraft, the final approach of the unmanned vehicle would be monitored by the personnel onboard. Officers on the flight deck, the air traffic controller seated under the deck and officers peering from windows in the carrier's island all play a part in guiding the UAV.
Pilots most often talk with the ship by radio, but for a UAV verbal communication is replaced by digital commands. The carrier's air traffic controllers do the same job as an ATC crew in a civilian airport tower—if the runway were constantly changing location, the aircraft loaded with live weapons, and the process designed to produce as few electromagnetic emissions as possible to avoid detection.
"There's no benefit in changing the way we do deck handling," says Adam Anderson, who heads the carrier integration portion of the X-47B program at Patuxent River, Md. "We're looking at ways to make the least amount of impact. We want a paradigm shift in the number of missions the aircraft can do, but to have no shift in the way it lands."
DeBons's test flights on the Eisenhower went perfectly—the F/A-18D glided across the deck with its nose angled up until a hook on its tail snagged a cable stretched across the deck and jerked the aircraft to a halt. Still, the Navy test pilot says his hands never strayed too far from the controls.
"It wasn't anything new, perspective-wise, in the cockpit," DeBons told reporters after the flight. "But being a new system, as any test pilot will say, we're always on guard."
Human/UAV Coexistence?
The X-47B's next big milestone is a series of aircraft carrier launches and landings in 2013. That is the same year that the F-35C will operate for the first time on a carrier, making its initial sea trials.
A technology demonstrator is a long way from a production-ready warplane like the F-35C. Even the most gung-ho Navy official extolling UAVs also expresses support for the Lightning II. "As rapidly as we want to engage with the unmanned systems on carriers, we are also moving forward with an incredible capability in the Joint Strike Fighter," Roughead says. "We've got to get that aircraft."
The pilot is the F-35C's main limitation, but the human being in the cockpit may also be its salvation. The F-35C is designed to accommodate and enhance the most powerful processor available—the human brain. The aircraft's external sensors are patched directly into the pilot's helmet, allowing him to see 360 degrees by synthesizing data from the sensors, including six infrared cameras and radar. In short, there has never been a better airplane for picking targets and seeing threats.
"Target recognition often involves the generation and interpretation of high-resolution images," Owen Cote Jr., the associate director of MIT's Security Studies Program, wrote in a recent report. "At some point in the future it may become possible to automate that process, but today, and for a number of years, target recognition will require people to interpret the images ... It is difficult to imagine automating this."
Others caution putting too much faith in stealthy UAVs as a solution to every tactical and budgetary problem at the Pentagon. "If you canceled the F-35 you would have to do something else," says Douglas Barrie, military aerospace senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies. "Do you kick off a whole new development program with all the inherent risks and costs that you've just gone through with the F-35?"
It appears that the Navy's near future will focus on human—robot teaming. The F-35C and UCLASS will operate from carriers simultaneously and fly missions next to each other in tomorrow's conflicts. "No platform fights alone anymore," says Edward Timperlake, a former analyst of emerging technology for the office of the secretary of defense. "It's a synergy between manned and unmanned."
But as time goes on, UAVs will become more capable and the ratio of manned to unmanned missions could dramatically shift in favor of the machines. "The era of manned airplanes should be seen as over," the Brookings Institution's Michael O'Hanlon says, echoing other military analysts.
Few young pilots see a threat looming. After all, the number of people the Navy needs to fly is holding steady. The students at Naval Air Station Whiting Field say their careers remain unclouded by robotic competition.
"I don't see anyone concerned about the community shrinking," says Lt. j.g. Bobby Lennon, who finished training at Whiting in August and will fly an MH-60S Knighthawk helicopter. "Maybe this will affect the jet guys more."
But the Navy's effort goes beyond the X-47B. The service is investing $8 billion over the next five years in a family of unmanned UAVs. For example, the Navy plans to retire fixed-wing EP-3 Aries signals intelligence reconnaissance planes and replace them with unmanned aircraft by 2020. The Navy is already operating unmanned reconnaissance helicopters—one was shot down during combat operations in Libya—and it is constructing larger ones to carry cargo and arming others with air-to-surface missiles.
Chitwood, who aced her instrument flight examination over Marianna Municipal and Tallahassee Regional airports, is also unfazed by the emergence of UAVs. "I'm not really worried," she says. "It's hard to integrate them into the fleet. Maybe when I'm close to being done flying I'll see the effect."
It doesn't seem fair to bring up the Navy's unmanned programs when face to face with young aviators. That's policy talk, and every new Navy pilot is solely focused on the work. For them, earning the right to do the job is the only tomorrow that matters.

Feel like Californians don't pay enough in taxes and fees?
Well, then, you will be glad to learn that the California Public Utilities Commission will be collecting $600 million from utility ratepayers over the next 10 years to fund a global warming think tank.
There are so many astonishing aspects to this bizarre departure from the PUC's mission that it is hard to know where to start.
First of all, what makes the unelected commissioners, who are charged with ensuring a reliable and reasonably priced power supply, believe they have the right to impose a new fee on California ratepayers for a pet project, however worthy?
Then there is the price tag. … For that kind of dough the California Institute for Climate Solutions, as the commission has dubbed its modest enterprise, should take a shot at delivering world peace in addition to solving global warming.
And there is the matter of oversight. The PUC, a government agency, is directing utility companies to collect money from ratepayers to be handed over to a quasi-private institute with its own board of directors.
Various arms of the federal government are looking at solutions to global warming. The California Air Resources Board has a climate change program. Stanford University's Global Climate and Energy Project is celebrating its fifth anniversary. Closer to home, a number of researchers at UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography are at the forefront of worldwide research on the topic.
Because the PUC regulates the state's three large investor-owned utilities, including SDG&E, but not municipal power companies such as those in Los Angeles and Sacramento, only about two-thirds of the state's ratepayers will be on the hook for this new fee. That hardly seems equitable.
Fortunately, consumer groups are certain to file legal challenges to this folly, which was driven by commission President Michael Peavey, whose term ends in December. A court ruling that the PUC's plan is illegal would, among other things, spare us the concern that there already is a leading candidate for the plum position of executive director of the new institute – say, perhaps, an outgoing commission president.


Are you the first generation of your family to go to college?
The proportion of first-generation students in college is growing, as the children of immigrants and working-class families realize that college is the key to middle-class stability and social mobility. According to the New York Times, because the 2008 recession hit middle-class and blue-collar families so hard, the education gap between the wealthiest and the rest of us is bad and getting worse.
A college education, professional employment, and financial stability is the American dream, but without money, it's just a dream.
First-generation student struggle – the struggle is real. Besides the challenges of a college course schedule, most first-generation students are at an economic disadvantage. According to the Higher Education Research Institute, median family income for freshmen whose parents graduated from college is over $99,000; for first-generation students, it's less than $40,000. That gap makes a big difference when it comes to paying tuition, fees, books, food, and living expenses for first-generation students. First-generation students are much more likely to need to work in addition to going to school, more likely to need loans, and more likely to take out less-than-fair private loans to make ends meet.
VC is proud to provide a one-time Scholarship in the amount of $1000 to offset the price of tuition for candidates who qualify as a first-generation college students. We want to encourage first-generation students to excel in their program, complete their degree, and pass on to future generations the possibilities of attaining degrees in higher education.

Q: SQL statement to update specific records, but ignore the record if it contains a certain value in a column As the title suggest I need to update the times for days of the week, but ignore records that have a day of the week which is equal to saturday or sunday. The query seems to also update the records that include saturday and sunday which is what I'm trying to avoid.

A post-mortem examination confirmed he died as a result of being stabbed.
Jamal Sheik-Mohammed, of Lansdowne Court, has been charged with Bashir's murder.
The 51-year-old has been remanded in custody and will appear before Bristol Magistrates' Court on Monday, January 14.

Anytime you say, "of course it turned out like this, it always does!" Pause and recognize your narrative.
Just like in an editing room, a footage is useless unless placed in a specific order under a cohesive narrative. If we think about our lives and our experiences, the painful truth hits us in the face-our life is a random order of events under our vigilantly crafted narratives. Depending on our tendencies, our narrative can bring us closer to bliss or towards self-destruction. It is truly our choice.
The closer we hold our narratives and the more emotion we feed them, the deeper our pain. Perhaps that is why some of the most depressed people I meet have a very precise record of events in their lives and reflect constantly on how each event changed them, what it 'taught' them and how they choose to 'avoid' or 'tackle' these situations in the future.
If we take charge of our narratives, we realize that we are the people responsible for bringing cohesion, duplication and replication into our life. No one else.
Can you imagine the day we relinquish our narratives and stop worrying about connecting the dots? For a civilization that sustains itself on stories, it almost seems like an impossible task, right? I optimistically reckon that foregoing our internal narrative could possibly allow the events in our lives to scatter past easy connectivity-out of comfort zones and patterns of fear. On the flip-side, it may leave us without motivation because there is a danger of negating the meaning we have projected onto our existence.
Shouldn't loosing the narrative be our goal rather than to have our lives be a series of almost-identical events choreographed by comfort and fear? Must we aim for the familiar montage of our lives to feel like they matter? Do we really need to follow the standard trajectory, hoping to be toasted as someone who was x,y or z at our funerals?

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has proven a powerful tool for multiplex detection and imaging due to its narrow peak width and high sensitivity. However, conventional SERS reporters are limited to thiolated compounds, which have limitations such as chemical stability and spectral overlap. Here, we used alkyne- and nitrile-bearing molecules to directly fabricate a set of SERS tags for multiplex imaging. The alkyne and nitrile groups act as both the anchoring points to interact with gold nanoparticle (AuNP) surfaces and the reporters exhibiting strong and nonoverlapping signals in the cellular Raman-silent region. The SERS tags were subsequently modified with different antibodies for multicolor imaging of cancer cells and human breast cancer tissues. The reporters have a simple and readily accessible structure, hence providing new opportunities to prepare SERS nanoprobes.

Word of mouth about the simply easier, super fast service, a wide range of much loved sunny leisure and fun city break destinations and the Which? award for Best Airport in the UK have all combined to give London Southend Airport its busiest ever summer.
230,000 passengers travelled through the Essex terminal between 1 July and 31 August 2013 – that's a 29.9% increase on the 177,000 that used the airport in summer 2012, and the busiest summer since formal records began in 1967.
The busiest day of the summer period was 4 August, which saw 4,100 travellers jetting off.
The favourite destination in this July to August period was Amsterdam, followed by the hugely popular Spanish destinations of Alicante and Barcelona – in fact more than 400,000 easyJet passengers have been flown between London Southend and Spain since April 2012.
This bustling summer now takes the total passengers to have used London's newest airport since the new terminal opened in March 2013 to 1.25 million.

The Brandefy App is full of real, comparative reviews of cult favorite beauty products, from their community.

BEAUTY MATTER - Jan 24, 2023 HOW BRANDEFY IS LEVERAGING APP DATA TO FILL PRODUCT MARKET GAPS "Entrepreneurs have been taking a stand against exuberant markups. Beauty Pie, stating that luxury products are sold at nearly tenfold their original production cost, built its business model on cutting out the middleman. Instead, the company replaced it with a subscription model that enables customers to purchase lower-priced alternatives to luxury products. The immense success of affordable skincare ranges like The Inkey List and The Ordinary show a consumer desire for lower-priced, results-driven skincare as skincare connoisseurs became aware of unsubstantiated product pricing and overhyped formulations."
InStyle - Jan 03, 2023 15 Indie Beauty Brands You Need To Try In 2023 "These impressive indie beauty brands — including Tower 28 and Youthforia — shouldn't be slept on. The Brandefy beauty app was launched in 2018 by Meg Pryde when she was a student at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business. The app aimed to help beauty lovers find affordable products with the same ingredients and benefits as more expensive brands. When she realized there were insufficient dupes for a lot of the most popular searches, Pryde founded Brandefy Skin in October 2021. Her mission is to pull back the curtain on the industry, revealing secrets like how some luxury moisturizers might be made in the same factory as brands sold at Target. Her line eliminates extensive marketing and high-priced packaging, and instead focuses on high-quality ingredients and formulas. One of the best sellers is the brand's 15% Vitamin C + E + Ferulic Acid Serum, which is only $49 ($36 for subscribers). That's less than a third of the price of many similar antioxidant serums."
NY Magazine: The Strategist - Nov 16, 2022 The Best Skin-Care Routine for Your 50s "Dr. Engelman recommends this formula from Brandefy because it boosts brightness overall. It has similar ingredients to the very popular (and very expensive) Skinceuticals C E Ferulic, but is less than half the price. Brandefy's formula contains a high concentration of pure vitamin C (15 percent) along with tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), and 0.5 percent ferulic acid, an antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals and also stabilizes vitamin C and E. It also contains propanediol, a humectant that helps skin to retain moisture."

Thankfully for those of us trying to maintain our beauty routines without breaking the bank, there's a new company disrupting the industry and making some of the most sought-after luxury formulas accessible. Enter: Brandefy, a social community and e-commerce platform that uses customer feedback to create value versions of prestige brands. How Brandefy works: When Meg Pryde, Brandefy's founder and CEO (and a beauty-industry veteran), noticed a lack of transparency in the beauty space, she crystallized an idea that would change the way consumers shop forever."
Forbes - Jun 30, 2022 The Best New Skincare Products For Summer 2022 "A dupe of Skinceuticals C E Ferulic at a fraction of the price, this serum also features 15% L-ascorbic acid, 0.5% ferulic acid and vitamin E, with a bonus addition of propandiol.

My second wedding at Shustoke Barn this year. And this time to photograph the wedding of Eleanor and Joe. It's always nice returning to this wonderful rural venue as the hospitality is great and there are some really nice locations for taking photographs.

Fun fact: I wore this dress on my birthday last year when we went to Sketch for afternoon tea. The Pink Room over there has a (yup, you guessed it) completely pink interior so I would've disappeared into my surroundings if it weren't for my yellow hair... in all seriousness though, this dress is one of my favourite vintage finds, I love the colour combination as well as the mix of dainty prints.
Have you ever found a vintage dress that you felt was just the one?
Ah you just can't beat a unique vintage dress! This one is such a pretty colour.
This dress is perfect! And you look completely perfect in it! I love the combination of your hair with the dress. And the shoes are so pretty.
The queen of vintage dresses... Love love love this dress & u look absolutely cute :D This dress is definitely the one for you!
so gorgeous, love the contrasting brogues!
That is such a gorgeous dress! And you look fabulous as per usual.


Elena and I had been looking forward to Natalie and Paul's engagement session for some time. We had such a great time getting to know them during our consultation and we were certain that we would love spending an evening with them taking engagement pictures. Paul warned us during the engagement that he wasn't much for having his picture taken. But, we sure couldn't tell during their session. He and Natalie were so cute and natural together! Natalie, a photographer herself, had some great suggestions for pictures. We had such an awesome time working with them and can't wait to see them again in just a few weeks for their wedding at Mercury Hall!
Based in Texas but we love to travel! Our bags are packed and we're ready to head out wherever you want to take us!
