Persoonia laurina, commonly known as the laurel-leaved or laurel geebung, is a shrub of the family Proteaceae native to central New South Wales in eastern Australia. Found in sclerophyll forest, it grows to a height of . The yellow flowers appear in late spring.

Taxonomy
Persoonia laurina was one of five species described by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in his 1805 work Synopsis Plantarum, from material collected by John White in 1793 and 1794.  The species name refers to a resemblance to Laurus "laurel". James Edward Smith described this species as the rusty persoonia (Persoonia ferruginea) in his 1805 book Exotic Botany. The horticulturist Joseph Knight used Smith's name in his controversial 1809 work On the cultivation of the plants belonging to the natural order of Proteeae, as did Robert Brown in his 1810 work Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen. Brown also recognised that the two names were the same species.

In 1870, George Bentham published the first infrageneric arrangement of Persoonia in Volume 5 of his landmark Flora Australiensis. He divided the genus into three sections, placing P. ferruginea in P. sect. Amblyanthera.

Within the genus, P. laurina is classified in the Laurina group, a group of three species from southeastern Australia that all have a lignotuber.

Three subspecies are recognised. First recorded as distinct in 1981, they were officially described as subspecies in 1991 by Lawrie Johnson and Peter Weston of the New South Wales Herbarium.

Description

Persoonia laurina grows as a shrub with an upright or sprawling habit reaching anywhere from  tall. New growth is covered with dense grey to rusty-brown hairs. Flowering takes place over November to January. Seedlings have only two cotyledon leaves, unlike many members of the genus, which have more.

Ecology
All three subspecies resprout after bushfire from a woody lignotuber. Subspecies laurina is estimated to have a lifespan of 50 to 100 years.

Uses and cultivation
The bark was traditionally used by Aboriginal people to soak fishing lines and toughen them. Drupes were eaten by indigenous people on the Beecroft Peninsula, though were not as highly regarded as those of P. lanceolata.

P. laurina is an attractive plant with horticultural potential. Cultivating it would most likely require good water drainage, a position in sun or dappled shade and acidic soil. It is hardy to frosts. However, it appears to be short-lived in cultivation, with plants at the Mount Annan Botanic Gardens surviving for a maximum of six years after planting out. While difficult to propagate by seed, it has been easier to propagate by cuttings of new growth.

People who are socially engaged and can easily brush off stress may be at reduced risk for Alzheimer's, a new study reports. The study adds to a growing body of research linking lifestyle and personality traits to a lower chance of developing dementia in old age.
"In the past, studies have shown that chronic stress can affect parts of the brain, such as the hippocampus, possibly leading to dementia," said study author Hui-Xin Wang, Ph.D. "But our findings suggest that having a calm and outgoing personality in combination with a socially active lifestyle may decrease the risk of developing dementia even further." The findings appeared in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
The study involved 506 seniors whose average age was 83. None had Alzheimer's when first examined.
The group filled out personality profiles to identify such traits as neuroticism, or the tendency to become easily distressed, and extraversion, or openness to interacting and chatting with others. Participants were also asked about how often they participated in hobbies and leisure-time activities, and how many friends they had.
After six years, 144 of the study participants had developed Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. Those who were socially active but who tended to remain calm and relaxed under pressure were 50 percent less likely to develop dementia than individuals who were isolated and easily stressed.
Protection against Alzheimer's was particularly strong among those who were socially outgoing and able to handle stress well. Extroverts who were calm and self-satisfied tended to have an optimistic outlook on life, the study found, and also had a 50 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's than outgoing people who were nervous and prone to worry.
The findings held, even after weighing other factors like years of schooling, depression or diabetes, or the presence of the APO-E4 gene, which predisposes to Alzheimer's onset.
Earlier studies have shown that people who remain active and socially engaged into old age have a lower Alzheimer's risk. Regular physical activity and keeping mentally alert through word games and other mental challenges can likewise help keep the mind sharp, research suggests.
This study looked at both lifestyle and personality characteristics, providing further evidence that an outgoing, active social network and shaking off stress can be good for the mind, and the brain.

AMINO ACIDS: Organic molecules that make up proteins. The human body requires 20 amino acids to function properly. Essential amino acids are supplied by food and non-essential amino acids (including creatine) are produced within the body.
ANAEROBIC EXERCISE: Exercise that isn't fueled by oxygen intake (as aerobic exercise is). Anaerobic exercise is defined by short, vigorous, and frequent muscle contractions, and includes activities like sprinting and weight lifting.
ANTIOXIDANT: A substance that prevents oxidation and protects cells from free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that contain an odd number of electrons. They can cause tissue death and damage.
ATHEROSCLEROSIS: A cardiovascular condition which causes arteries to narrow, or clog, with plaque build-up from excess blood cholesterol.
CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE: Apotentially fatal condition in which the heart loses its ability to pump an adequate volume of blood. As blood flow slows, fluid builds up in tissues throughout the body.
DIETARY SUPPLEMENT HEALTH AND EDUCATION ACT (DSHEA): Passed in 1994, this law allows manufacturers to sell dietary and nutritional supplements without federal regulation. According to this act, supplements can be regulated only after they are proven to be harmful to users.
ERGOGENIC: Something that increases work output.
INBORN ERROR OF METABOLISM: An inherited genetic defect present from birth that causes a deficiency in the body's essential enzymes and impairs metabolism.
U.S. PHARMACOPEIA (USP): A non-profit organization that provides standards for prescription and over-the-counter drugs, nutritional and dietary supplements, and health care products. USP publishes its standards in the United States Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary (USP-NF), which are officially recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). USP also has a dietary supplement verification program (DSVP).
Oral creatine supplements first gained popularity among athletes in the early 1990s following the publication of a Karolinska Institute study that found that subjects who took creatine supplements experienced a significant increase in total muscle creatine content. In theory, increased creatine stores would increase PCr stored in the muscles, which would in turn provide a larger power supply for anaerobic muscle activity and exercise (short bursts of exercise which don't require oxygen).
Creatine was thrust onto the global athletic scene in 1992 when British sprinters Linford Christie and Sally Gunnel won Olympic gold in Barcelona after reportedly training with the aid of creatine supplementation. Since that time, a number of clinical studies have looked at both the ergogenic (output enhancing effect) and therapeutic benefits of creatine.
Because creatine is considered a nutritional supplement, it is available legally and without a prescription in the United States. As of early 2002, creatine supplementation was not explicitly prohibited by the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Football League (NFL), and other major national athletic organizations. However, a lack of well-designed clinical studies of creatine's long-term effects combined with loose regulatory standards for creatine supplement products manufactured in the United States has caused some athletic associations, including the USOC, to caution against its use without banning it outright.
Despite these issues, creatine remains well-known as a nutritional, performance-enhancing supplement used by athletes to improve high-intensity muscle endurance and performance. Bodybuilders and weightlifters supplement with creatine to bulk up muscles, and athletes involved in team sports train with creatine to increase their energy for sprints and other short and intense muscular tasks. Statistics show that the use of creatine by adolescent and adult athletes is growing. Yet research is still largely inconclusive on exactly how and in what situations supplements help athletes out of the laboratory and on the field.

Israel's Moral Peril
By Alan Wolfe
In the past few years, a trickle of dissent with respect to Israel has turned into a running stream. Books, articles, and Web sites critical of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, its acquiescence in the messianic designs of its settlers, its foreign-policy decisions on Gaza, Iran, and much more, and the increasing influence of the ultra-Orthodox over the character of its domestic life have begun to appear in significant numbers in America. Some, but not all, of these efforts, moreover, come from writers unused to being in the critical camp. The question is rapidly becoming not whether one should find fault with Israel, but how.
Two quite contrasting points of view have emerged among the critics. One can be called liberal and the other leftist. Liberals accept Israel's legitimacy, search for ways that it can respect the rights of its non-Jewish citizens, and believe that the only viable future for the country is a two-state solution, one primarily Jewish, the other primarily Palestinian. Leftists view Israel's creation in 1948 as an outgrowth of European colonialism, insist that as a Jewish state its character is inevitably racist, and lean toward the eventual creation of one state containing both Jews and Arabs. Should Israel's actions continue to provoke opposition around the world, the question of which of these approaches will attract the most followers will become increasingly important.
I have a personal interest in this topic because I now count myself among the critics. For decades, I managed to write about some of the more controversial issues dominating the world without writing about the Middle East. The reason was simple: I was too intellectually paralyzed to do so. As a child, I had displayed an Israeli flag and carried blue-and-white coin boxes whose proceeds would plant trees in the new state. That, however, was about it: Serious Hebrew lessons, Zionist summer camps, and trips to the Middle East were of little interest to either my secular parents or me. Yet for all my family's tendencies toward assimilation, Israel's legitimacy was never questioned. Jews had been the victims of the greatest monster in history. Supporting the new state was the least the world could do to make up for it. We were, as I recall, vaguely aware that Arabs already lived on the land Israel claimed, but their complaints, to the degree that we heard them at all, seemed trivial by comparison to what had happened to our people.
Attribute it, if you must, to the failure of my parents to raise me as a good Jewish boy, but even my youthful lukewarm support for Israel eventually turned cool. Israel's stunning victories in the 1967 war sent a thrill through the American Jewish community; I felt my share of that, but I was too much involved in the protests against Vietnam to become an enthusiast for war of any kind. Campaigns on behalf of Soviet Jewry in the 1970s left me with an uncomfortable feeling of selective indignation: Of course the Jews in Russia and the Ukraine ought to be able to leave, but among the world's atrocities at the time, including the brutality of Idi Amin and the genocide led by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, the plight of Soviet Jewry did not rise to the top. By 1982, when Israeli forces enabled the massacres of Palestinians by Christian militiamen in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon, I knew that a personal line had been crossed. The more innocent Israel of my youthful imagination no longer existed.
Nonetheless, I kept my concerns to myself. No matter how cruel Israel's actions appeared, I believed that Jews were still entitled to the moral benefit of the doubt. Israel remained a democratic state, a rare achievement in the Middle East. It had been created, in part, as a refuge for the unwanted, and while it might not be an appropriate home for me, there were Jews from Eastern Europe and North Africa who had found a safe haven there. As much as I might take offense at Israel's policies, they were formulated by a generation with a more direct connection to the Holocaust than I could ever have, protected by the decision of my grandparents to move to America in the early 20th century. I would not be a Zionist cheerleader. But neither would I follow the path of Israel's most stringent critics, who viewed it as an outpost of Western imperialism supported by an American lobby wielding, or so it was said, almost supernatural power in Israel's defense.
The ambivalence that once prevented me from speaking out on the Middle East is gone. Israel is now firmly on the right, while I remain on the left. The truly odious Arafat is no longer with us, and new Palestinian intellectuals and leaders are making an impressive case for statehood. The cruelty of Israel's blockade of Gaza, as well as the clearly peace-destroying intentions of Jewish settlers in Palestinian territory, are impossible to ignore. Chilling leaks suggest the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. All that has ended my silence. I wrote about some of these issues in my book Political Evil: What It Is and How to Combat It, and what I had to say about Israel was not kind.
I am hardly alone in this. The Web site Mondoweiss serves as a forum for those, mostly Jewish, who have major qualms about Israeli actions. Bruce Robbins, a humanities professor at Columbia University, is making a documentary film about American Jews, featuring scholars and intellectuals, many roughly my age, who have changed their minds and become critical of Israel. (Watching the trailer made me wonder if there something like a midlife crisis going on among those of us anxious to set the record straight as we approach our final decades.) It is doubtful that the talking heads featured in the film speak for the majority, or even a measurable minority, of ordinary synagogue attendees, but the existence of a certain level of disquiet even there is evidenced by the efforts of the organized Jewish community to adopt a new strategy. For example, in January, JTA, an international Jewish-news service, noted: "Enmeshed in the battle against Israel's delegitimization, mainstream American Jewish organizations are embracing a strategy of acknowledging what's wrong about Israel as a way of getting across what's right about the nation." The article went on to point out that the American Jewish Committee and the Union for Reform Judaism, for example, have strongly criticized Israel for hampering the work of nongovernmental groups that monitor human rights there.
Having such company is comforting, but the question for me still remains: Should my objections take liberal or leftist form? Several new books are helpful to me in making up my mind.
The liberal case has been articulated by two writers much younger than I am: Gershom Gorenberg, an American-born, Jerusalem-based writer whose The Unmaking of Israel (Harper) came out in November, and Peter Beinart, a senior political writer for the Daily Beast and an associate professor of journalism and political science at the City University of New York, whose The Crisis of Zionism (Henry Holt) has just been published.
Gorenberg loves his adopted country and wants to see it flourish as a liberal democracy. To do so, it will need to take three steps: ending the settlements and the West Bank occupation; reducing the influence of ultra-Orthodox Jews by separating synagogue and state more vigorously; and reforming the Israeli legal system so that all ethnic groups are treated equally. Those undertakings will all be difficult to accomplish, but Gorenberg is convinced that Israel will be more viable as a democracy and more secure in the long run if it voluntarily gives up land it cannot control. His is a vision of a much smaller Israel, "a country with a four-fifths Jewish majority and a Palestinian minority that must enjoy equal citizenship."
Beinart was once the editor of The New Republic (of which I am a contributing editor), a magazine known for its pro-Israel positions. His decision to become a critic of Israel, announced in 2010 in "The Failure of the American-Jewish Establishment," a much-discussed essay in The New York Review of Books, has now taken book form. The Crisis of Zionism is an impressive achievement. Among other things, Beinart brings to life a number of important liberal Jews in America, especially an undeservedly obscure Chicago rabbi named Arnold Wolf. Wolf studied with Abraham Joshua Heschel, the civil-rights firebrand, and in 1973 helped found Breira, the first American Jewish organization to come out for a Palestinian state in Gaza and the West Bank. As it happened, the Jews who were attracted to Wolf's perspective recruited a young community organizer named Barack Obama to work with them. Obama, Beinart argues, may never have been part of the Jewish world, but he was very familiar with this liberal Jewish awakening. Influenced by the Wolf circle, the aspiring politician was a liberal Zionist at heart, fully aware that a lasting peace in the Middle East would require Jewish support for a Palestinian state.
Beinart advocates a form of liberal Zionism roughly like Gorenberg's. He is therefore palpably disappointed that under Obama's presidency, liberal Zionism's moment has not come. Bibi Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, has proved himself a master at playing off strong Congressional support for Israel against any presidential inclination to take the peace process seriously. Understanding the futility of fighting a battle he cannot win, especially with the most powerful Jewish organizations in the United States lined up behind the Netanyahu-led government, Obama has caved on his Middle East policy, allowing the settlements and the extremism of the ultra-Orthodox to continue unabated.
For all his disappointment, however, Beinart has not written a pessimistic book. Israel is encouraged on its illiberal path because Jews who are more universalistic in their moral outlook care less about it than do those who make Zionism central to their worldview. The solution, then, is for younger Jews to take their Judaism more seriously. As they familiarize themselves with the ethical side of their faith and promote Jewish learning through day schools, they can develop a voice capable of being both liberal and Zionist at the same time.
Any such quest for a liberal Zionism would be viewed as hopelessly naïve by leftist critics of Israel. One scholar who fits that description is Gabriel Piterberg, a historian at the University of California at Los Angeles. Born in Argentina but raised in Israel, Piterberg has published extensively in the New Left Review, a magazine known for both the erudition of its contributors and the Marxism that, in one form or another, has surrounded it since its birth, in 1960. Zionism is often viewed, both inside and outside Israel, as the story of how an oppressed people learned how to defend themselves by building a state of their own. All that is far too romantic for Piterberg. In a book that has been out for a few years but establishes the foundation for the leftist case, The Returns of Zionism: Myths, Politics and Scholarship in Israel (Verso, 2008), he argues that the history of the Zionist movement cannot be divorced from what he calls "white settler colonialism," the 19th-century efforts by European powers to create societies in their image around the world. The Zionist project, in that sense, was like the British settlement of Australia, the building of a Western-oriented state on land occupied by an indigenous people.
Some of Piterberg's material explores new ground, especially his demonstration of the ways the secular David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, selectively used the Bible to justify Zionist claims. The book also contains a criticism of the work of the Israeli historian Anita Shapira, often viewed as a "humanistic" Zionist for her argument that the founders of Israel only reluctantly came to rely on force in the face of Arab revolt; Piterberg wants to show that all Zionists, left or right, share the same underlying neocolonial assumptions. Finally, he explores the ideas of Western Jews such as Bernard Lazare, Walter Benjamin, and Hannah Arendt, who saw the colonialist implications within Zionism and tried their best to expose them.
Far better known to American readers than Piterberg is Judith Butler, a professor of rhetoric at the University of California at Berkeley. Her book Parting Ways: Jewishness and the Critique of Zionism (Columbia University Press), which will be published in July, insists Zionism cannot be equated with Jewishness; that indeed, it stands in opposition to key themes in the Jewish tradition. "My contention from the outset of this book," she writes, "is that the relation with the non-Jew is at the core of Jewish ethics, which means that it is not possible to be Jewish without the non-Jew and that, to be ethical, one must depart from Jewishness as an exclusive frame for ethics." Long living at the mercy of others, she explains, Jewish thinkers were forced to think about the nature of the other. Like Piterberg, she focuses on Benjamin and Arendt, and adds significant material on the French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas.
Arendt's writings are the most relevant to the situation Israel finds itself in today. The key question for Arendt, according to Butler, is how we come to cohabit the world. Since they never had a state of their own, Jews never had a choice about whom they would live with. It is precisely that state of unchosenness that made Jewish ethics so vibrant. "If Arendt is right, then it is not only that we may not choose with whom to cohabit, but that we must actively preserve the unchosen character of inclusive and plural cohabitation," Butler writes.
The Nazis, it goes without saying, very much exercised choice in this matter: All too criminally, they chose not to live with Jews. Jews should never forget that. Although they consider themselves a chosen people, they ought to be especially wary of choosing to live with people only like themselves, Butler warns. That is exactly what Zionism seeks to accomplish. It is for that reason, she argues, that Israel has been illiberal from the moment of its creation.
Butler cannot be satisfied with the notion that much could be achieved if Israel were to stop building settlements and end its occupation of the West Bank. Because its very essence requires dispossession of non-Jews, justice can be served only if the Palestinians forced from their homes in 1948 are given the right to return. That would not result in the destruction of the Jewish people, Butler argues, but only in "the dismantling of the structure of Jewish sovereignty and demographic advantage." Vague on the details, she believes, as best as I can tell, that in what she calls "complex and antagonistic modes of living together," Jews would make the case on the basis of their own history of exile for why their Arab neighbors ought not to choose living without them. Presumably, then, Palestinian Arabs, in return, would, indeed, recall their more recent history of exile and understand why they should live together with Jews.
Gorenberg and Beinart are the better stylists among these authors, and their books, published by commercial houses, undoubtedly will receive wider attention than the work of academics such as Butler. Still, Butler has many admirers in the United States and abroad, and the views she expresses resonate with those who call for boycotts of Israel or identify with third-world liberation struggles. Which viewpoint becomes the most influential depends on larger political and social trends. Should there be an uptick in left-wing or anarchist radicalism in coming years—unlikely, in my view, but not impossible—the leftist critics could wind up gaining more adherents than the liberal ones.
One reason that the situation in the Middle East seems so intractable is that the current Israel leadership has no foreseeable plan for bringing peace to the region. Another, alas, is that neither the liberal nor the leftist critics of those leaders can spell out a persuasive vision of the future. Liberal critics, in my view, have the right idea, but the reforms they advocate seem hopelessly utopian in the current political atmosphere. Israel's leadership is not interested in criticism; if anything, it is trying to stifle it. Any attempt to roll back, let alone end, the settlements and the occupation is likely to produce violent resistance. There is little or no energy in Israel behind a two-state solution, and even the Palestinians who are trying to build statelike institutions on the ground are facing resistance from militants in their own camp. Israel really does face a choice between being a Jewish state or a democratic state—and the odds are in favor of the former.
The leftist position on the Middle East, however, represents little more than an exercise in irresponsibility. As a critic of Israel, I bristle when told that anyone who does not support Israel in down-the-line fashion is calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. But Butler, if I read her correctly, really is calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. In the trailer for the Robbins film, she ends her remarks with a passionate statement to the effect that honoring the rights of all refugees, Palestinians included, in no way overlaps with being anti-Jewish or anti-Semitic. In that she is right. But at the same time, her views unambiguously classify her as anti-Israel. She rightly points out that there are many kinds of one-state solutions. But hers would leave Israeli Jews at the mercy of people who would surely take revenge against them if given the chance. I realize that Butler is a philosopher and not a political scientist. Yet even philosophers must say something about the real-world implications of the ideas they advocate. Taking into account the other is indeed a feature of the Jewish ethical tradition. Collective suicide is not.
If forced to choose, naïveté is preferable to irresponsibility. That is why, in the end, I side with the liberals rather than the leftists. Israel is a fact of life and, given both its military strength and support from the United States, it is going to be with us for some time. For all its problems, moreover, its existence remains a good thing: At a time when Serbs, Slovaks, and Slovenians have states of their own, it is preposterous to say that Jews should not. In part because of Jewish settlements, but also because Palestinians have realized the advantages of statehood, the creation of one state containing both peoples has become impossible to imagine. It falls upon Israel, therefore, to decide whether its state will be a large one, containing an Arab population so numerous that it could be ruled only in the most repressive ways, or a smaller one, capable of treating the members of its minority Arab population as full citizens.
Because of the Holocaust, Israel really is a special case. Its creation involved more than the taking over of the land of others; it was meant to stand as a rebuke to hatred and intolerance. The fact that it is losing that moral advantage is a tragedy and not just a crime. Anyone concerned with making the world a better place should want to see Israel made a better society. That is the key truth upon which liberal critics insist, and which leftist ones deny.

Alexandrine Latendresse (born April 30, 1984) was the New Democratic Party Member of Parliament for Louis-Saint-Laurent and was elected in the 2011 Canadian federal election. She defeated former Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Josée Verner of the Conservative Party. She had earlier run in Louis-Saint-Laurent in the 2008 federal election, but lost.

Latendresse introduced Bill C-419, which would require future officers of Parliament to be able to function in both official languages without the help of an interpreter.

Latendresse declined to run again in the 2015 election, saying the pace of parliamentary debate had lost its appeal for her. Daniel Caron, a former ambassador of Canada to Ukraine from 2008 to 2011, was acclaimed as the NDP candidate in the district shortly thereafter.

Early life and education
Latendresse was born in Montreal and had a career as a child actor, starring in advertisements in the 1980s that promoted cheese in Quebec. She then had several roles in various television series, including Watatatow and Virginie. She also participated in several films, including Montréal vu par..., La fête des rois, Soho, Aline and Le Jardin d'Anna.

She received a Bachelor of Arts in linguistics at Laval University. Latendresse was to undertake graduate studies in May 2011, but she agreed to postpone this decision until after the election.

Latendresse was named deputy critic for democratic reform in June 2011.

Q: Surge Protection Installation I have a problem understanding the installation of surge arresters in C&I(Control and Instrumentation) protection. The attached picture says that SPDs(Surge Protection Devices) are installed in  the line path. what does it mean? what is the difference with SPD Installation for Power lines?

A: Surge Diverters (SPD in parallel,left image) are protection devices typically connected in parallel to the load. Metal Oxide, Varistors,Gas Arrestors and Spark Gaps, etc. are used in these devices. They provide only shunt diversion and are commonly used at the point of entry to a facility. The offer only coarse protection.
In other words: Only the voltage is diverted but a surge current to the load is not controlled.
The picture shows a 800 kV surge diverter (Siemens)

Surge filters (SPD in series, right image) are typically secondary series connected devices that combine shunt and series elements to provide fine protection against surges. You find them mostly further downstream, closer to the load. They contain the same technology elements as the surge diverters but also utilize a combination of inductors and capacitors. The addition of these 2 additional  elements add the ability to control or block also the surge current.
In other words: They divert the voltage and control current.

From makeup to the set design, five of Walk With Sally's mentors (and notably, the organization's Founder) gathered to share their favorite white style picks and how being a mentor has impacted not only their lives, but the hearts of their mentees.
If you haven't already seen the white fashion feature in the new Southbay Magazine be sure to check it out. From makeup to the set design to keeping warm as the sun fell across the roof deck of Shade Hotel Manhattan Beach, five of Walk With Sally's mentors (and notably, the organization's Founder) gathered to share their favorite white style picks and how being a mentor has impacted not only their lives, but the hearts of their mentees.
To me, the most important role as a mentor is… Learning something new about myself.
Other than the Blues Traveler performance, what do you most anticipate about this year's WLWN? Being on the water in Redondo Beach.
To anyone thinking of becoming a Walk With Sally mentor, I would like to say… Find time, it will change a child and your life.
To me, the most important role as a mentor is… Knowing that I am making a difference in someone's life. This experience has helped me so much as well, as I can take the pain from losing my mother and channel it into something so special and good.
Nothing is more rewarding than when my mentee looks at me and says… "Today was a good day!" Although we have our favorite things to do together, we like to mix it up and try new places, museums, beaches, movie theaters and parks. And no matter where the day will take us, Samantha always finds a moment to say thank you and tell me how much fun she had. This is usually followed by her recounting every detail of the day and smiling and laughing. It's just awesome.
Other than the Blues Traveler performance, what do you most anticipate about this year's WLWN? Definitely the "Taste of the South Bay"! There are some amazing restaurants on the line-up this year, and I plan on trying each and every one. I'm especially excited for Sashi Sushi and Gaetano's as I am somewhat addicted to sushi and Italian food!
To anyone thinking of becoming a Walk With Sally mentor, I would like to say… We need you! There are so many children in our area affected by cancer who would love to have the special attention and experience having a mentor provides. It has been so rewarding to me, especially because of the close relationship I have developed with Samantha and her family.

To me, the most important role as a mentor is… Is to be a friend and have patience. As one can imagine a twelve-year-old boy isn't exactly an emotional over-sharing kind of person. That doesn't mean you're not helping with the healing or grieving process. If you can be a friend and earn their trust you will ultimately become an important person in their life.
Nothing is more rewarding than when my mentee looks at me and says… "Thank you." It may not seem like a tall order but it really feels good when you drop your mentee off and he gives a big thank you with a smile on his face. You know that you may not have changed his current situation but he truly had a great time and potentially a break from the stress and emotions that accompanies losing a loved one.
If I had one word to describe White Light White Night it would have to be… Fun. Although I have not had the opportunity to attend WLWN in the past, I can't tell you how jealous I am after seeing pictures and hearing stories. It's a good night with great people for an amazing purpose.
Other than the Blues Traveler performance, what do you most anticipate about this year's WLWN? Spending the evening with people that care about the organization with the same passion that I do. I hold Walk With Sally, and the work of everyone involved, dear to my heart and I am looking forward to spending the evening with the people that share the same passion for helping these mentees.
To anyone thinking of becoming a Walk With Sally mentor, I would like to say… Do it. I can preach to all day about how great it feels to be a mentor and how much fun you will have spending time with the kids and the other volunteers involved but you will never truly understand how amazing it feels. I genuinely feel lucky to be involved with Walk With Sally.
Sahmon's Style Guide: Shirt by Tasso Elba, pants by Perry Ellis.
To me the most important role as a mentor is… Setting a good example and being a good role model for a young child.
Nothing is more rewarding than when my mentee looks at me and says… "I love you." It is the most sincere and sweetest thing a child can say. I also smile when she asks, "Can we go to Islands?" I took her to Islands for lunch once and she has talked about it ever since.
Other than the Blues Traveler performance, what do you most anticipate about this year's WLWN? Sampling the delicious food!
To anyone thinking of becoming a Walk With Sally mentor, I would like to say… It's a really fulfilling experience, to give of yourself and affect a child's life in a positive way.
Jillian's Style Guide: Halo dress from Doubletake in Hermosa Beach, belt by JCrew, shoes and necklace worn as bracelet from Katwalk, clutch by Hammitt, earrings by J Lynn available at Bella Beach.
To me, the most important role as a mentor is… To be compassionate whether it is something so simple as drawing a picture with my mentee or answering serious questions about the "what if.." with her parents.
Nothing is more rewarding than when my mentee looks at me and says… "Let's pretend you are my aunt!!" Cracks me up every time she says it!
Other than the Blues Traveler performance, what do you most anticipate about this year's WLWN? WLWN always leaves me with this great feeling of how strong and supportive this community is. WLWN is more than just another fundraising event in the South Bay. People love Walk with Sally and they bring that enthusiasm to the event. It is lively and exciting – people are so friendly. There is great food, drink and of course, entertainment. There is an underlying current of energy throughout the evening of community and charity. It is much more than that though. People come out to have a good time but there is something more underneath all the festivities – it is this bond that we all share that cancer changes everything. As a Walk with Sally Mentor, we have a positive effect on others who are walking through what we have walked through before – and that is the real reason for WLWN.
To anyone thinking of becoming a Walk With Sally mentor, I would like to say… It is one of the most rewarding things you will ever do. We, as mentors, come from a place of truly deep understanding of what it is like to have a parent or sibling with cancer and to have the opportunity to not only support my mentee Reagan but her parents also has been such an honor. Loosing my mother at a young age was a difficult thing; Walk with Sally has allowed me to turn that experience into a positive that I am very proud of. . . and I know my mom is too.

The rebuilding North Texas Mean Green in 2016
rebuilding north texas mean green in 2016

February 8, 2016 in Mean Green Football
Home:Dallas, Texas
Interests:Everything Mean Green.
1. Why isn't North Texas good more often?
Back in the late-'90s, when I was busy playing EA's NCAA Football in the dorms, my friends and I noticed an interesting development. By the fourth or fifth year of every simulation, North Texas had become a mid-major power. Once or twice, the Mean Green became a top-five team.
The AI for the game eventually improved, but it wasn't hard to see why the early version would assume a team from Denton could make it into a higher echelon. If you've got to be a mid-major, being a mid-major 40 miles from Dallas isn't too bad an idea. In the simulation, UNT would land enough local recruits to be competitive, win some games, then land more local recruits.
It was so logical that UNT could become a decent program, that almost two decades later, I get a little bit thrown off when the Mean Green aren't. And to be sure, they've spent most of their FBS existence being less than decent. Since rejoining FBS in 1995, they have attended five bowls, but four came in a four-year stretch. Darrell Dickey led them to four New Orleans Bowl appearances in a row from 2001-05. Before then, they averaged just 3.2 wins per season. Since, they've averaged 3.
This doesn't make a lot of sense. The facilities could be worse. Apogee Stadium still has a bit of new stadium smell to it. The money isn't atrocious. The access to talent is solid for a mid-major.
Steven Godfrey and I mentioned UNT as a "why aren't they better?" program in last week's Podcast Ain't Played Nobody.
It looked like Dan McCarney had things figured out for a while. Combining a host of veterans with key transfers, McCarney led UNT to a 9-4 season in 2013, the Mean Green's first in Conference USA. It looked replicable. But it wasn't, at least not for McCarney. An inexperienced squad went 4-8 in 2014, and the Mean Green put a stunning level of awfulness onto the field in 2015. They were 128th, dead last, in the S&P+ rankings. They went 1-11 and came within 14 points of an opponent only one other time. They lost to Portland State by 59 points.
They lost to Portland State by 59 points.
It was predictable that McCarney would be dumped. Mike Canales played out the string, leading UNT to its only win and at least sustaining a slightly higher level of play.

Its really hard to argue any of that post. I think we all felt that way when we moved up to Division 1-A in 1995. I know that I thought the SBC run was a the trampoline to move us upward. Instead, the trampoline broke. We hired two other guys to bring their own trampolines, but Dodge's was broken from the start and McCarney had one that might have worked, but he refused to jump on it.
It is amazing how bad we have gotten, especially being in Texas as a university that has fielded a team for 100+ years. We will be favored, most likely, in 2016 in one game, as the post showed, against Bethune-Cookman. Maybe we do win 3-4 games, as that suggested, but I think that would be an outrageously optimistic thought. Just don't lose to Bethune-Cookman and win another game somewhere else--that would be a good sign for us, basically equaling what SMU did under Morris in his first season, after June Jones last team went 1-11.
I would guess that 1/3rd of the P5 ask themselves this same question and probably 1/2 of the G5. We are not alone.
For the first time in forever, it feels like we are actually trying to improve.

I can tell you why:
RV = Teflon Todd & Dan McCarney.
That's a decades worth of futility. Now, NT has a bigger budget, a new stadium, new athletic buildings, and a student base that is ready for a consistent winner. It can take off with several seasons of good football....

UNT has had all of this for the past 5 years.
This thread is a great example of the denial in this fan base. A coach that has done nothing, recruited a below average class, has an 0-0 record, yet those in complete denial think he is the messiah that will transform the program.
Thats not the way college football works. Not at UNT, Not at Alabama, and not at any program in between.
Seth Littrell doesn't know something that no other college coach in America doesn't know. That's not the way it works. This is a 3-9 team at best next year. Notice that people who write for a living and aren't juiced up on a cocktail of green Kool-aid mixed with a large amount of denial believe the same?
Pat RV on the back next time you see him. Tell him the distraction plan of creating faux-excitement over a new coach worked to perfection, at least on you. He will appreciate the affirmation.
Nothing ever changes at UNT, and you goofs can't seem to process why that is. Head shakingly funny.

Look, few people are thrilled that we've had to get by with this type of recruiting class. We ditched football in the 80s and fiddle in the 90s. Nobody waited for us to catch up. Blame lies everywhere.
However...the hope with Littrell is this: schools like Baylor, Houston, and TCU also stumbled through years of futility until they found guys who could coach up their two-star and less recruits to overachieve year after year after year until the programs got their sea legs.
I've said before, the program won't be turned around in recruiting class, but by coaching. It's a simple as that.
Because of the 80s and 90s, the best we'll be able to hope for is to be a G5 power. That would be fine. But, Littrell...or someone else...will have to do what Franchione/Patterson did at TCU, Briles did at Baylor, and Briles/Sumlin did at Houston.

Not to my knowledge but a concern. But I'm sure he would tell them about his friends if they are looking for those positions. I would think Starling, being higher rated, might cause a pause if CB is a need for them.
Do you think the staff will be pulling offers from players regularly if they start taking visits elsewhere despite being committed to UNT? Or will that be case by case. I kind of like the idea of telling kids you're either with us or you're not. If you're still shopping, we'll move on from you.
FSU must also believe in his potential. It seems right now, unless the recruiting services change his rating (which is common when they looked like they were going to a G5 and then go to a P5) he will be one of their their lowest rated recruit. 247 has DT-B as a .8461 and this same player as a .8567 On3
Sure. It's definitely become a standard in all statements and can see how it could rub people wrong. I just kinda read over it at this point.

Frequency-wavenumber migration
From SEG Wiki
Investigations in Geophysics
Öz Yilmaz
http://dx.doi.org/10.1190/1.9781560801580
SEG Online Store
Frequency-wavenumber (f − k) migration is not as easily explained as the Kirchhoff or finite-difference migration from a physical point of view. Chun and Jacewitz [1] provide practical insight into the principles of f − k migration.
In the 2-D Fourier transform, we learned that dipping events in the t − x domain map onto the f − k domain along radial lines. The steeper the dip, the closer the radial line is to the wavenumber axis. Figure 4.1-24 shows dipping events before and after migration in the t − x and f − k domains. The Nyquist wavenumber is 20 cycles/km and the bandwidth is given by the corner frequencies 6, 12 - 36, 48 Hz for the passband region of the spectrum. (See Figure 1.1-26 for the definition of corner frequencies.) The red is associated with the flat part of the passband region and the blue is associated with the taper zone. Note that migration rotates the radial lines in the 2-D amplitude spectrum outward and away from the frequency axis. The steepest event represented by radial line A maps onto radial line B after migration. The feather-like energy especially prominent in the left quadrant of the f − k spectrum is associated with the flanks of the diffraction hyperbolas in the t − x domain. The energy associated with the left flanks which are dipping opposite to the dipping reflections maps onto the left quadrant of the f − k plane. And the energy associated with the right flanks of the diffraction hyperbolas that are dipping in the same direction as that of the dipping reflections maps onto the right quadrant of the f − k plane and is superimposed on the energy associated with the dipping reflections themselves.
Figure 4.1-24 (a) A zero-offset section that contains a set of dipping reflectors, (b) migration of (a), (c) the f − k spectrum of (a), and (d) the f − k spectrum of (b). Red and blue represent high and low amplitudes, respectively. Energy along the radial line A, which is associated with the steepest dip, maps onto the radial line B after migration. Medium velocity is constant, 3500 m/s.
Figure 4.1-25 Migration in the f − k domain. (Migration in the t − x domain is illustrated in Figure 4.1-1.) (a) A dipping reflector is represented by a radial line OB in the f − k plane. (b) After migration, the radial line OB maps onto another radial line OB′, while B maps onto B′. The horizontal wavenumber is invariant under migration. For comparison, the f − k response of the dipping event before migration (a) has been superimposed on the f − k response after migration (b). Adapted from Chun and Jacewitz [1].
Figure 4.1-26 (a) A zero-offset section that contains a diffraction hyperbola, (b) migration of (a), (c) the f − k spectrum of (a), and (d) the f − k spectrum of (b). Red and blue represent high and low amplitudes, respectively. Energy within the triangular area in (c) maps onto the semicircular area in (d) after migration. Medium velocity is constant, 2500 m/s.
Migration of a dipping event in the f − k domain is sketched in Figure 4.1-25. Note that this figure is the f − k equivalent of Figure 4.1-1. In both figures, we assume velocity equal to 1. The vertical axis in Figure 4.1-25 represents the temporal frequency ω for the event in its unmigrated position B, and the vertical wavenumber kz for the event in its migrated position B′.
Migration in the frequency-wavenumber domain involves mapping the lines of constant frequency AB in the ω − kx plane to circles AB′ in the kz − kx plane. Therefore, migration maps point B vertically onto point B′. Note that in this process, the horizontal wavenumber kx does not change as a result of mapping. When this mapping is completed, the dipping event OB is mapped along OB′ after migration; thus, the dip angle θ ¯ {\displaystyle {\bar {\theta }}} after migration is greater than the dip angle θ before migration. For comparison, these two radial lines are shown on the same plane kz − kx.
We now examine the diffraction hyperbola and its collapse to the apex after migration in the f − k domain. A diffraction hyperbola is represented by an inverted triangular area in the frequency domain as shown in Figure 4.1-26. The Nyquist wavenumber is 40 cycles/km and the bandwidth is given by the corner frequencies 6, 12 - 36, 48 Hz for the passband region of the spectrum. As for the dipping events model in Figure 4.1-24, the red is associated with the flat part of the passband region and the blue is associated with the taper zone. The two edges in the right and left quadrant of the f − k plane correspond to the asymptotes of the flanks of the diffraction hyperbola, the base of the inverted triangle corresponds to the high-frequency end of the passband, and the tip of the triangle in the proximity of the origin of the f − k plane corresponds to the low-frequency end of the passband. Migration turns the triangular area into a circular shape as shown in Figure 4.1-26.
The f − k analysis of the diffraction hyperbola shown in Figure 4.1-26 is based on the representation of the hyperbola as a series of discrete dipping segments. Figure 4.1-27 depicts a diffraction hyperbola in the t − x and f − k domains. We imagine that the hyperbola is made up of a series of dipping segments, such as A, B, C, D and E. The zero-dip segment A is at the apex, while the steepest dip segment E is along the asymptotes. In the f − k domain, the zero-dip segment A maps along the frequency axis, while the dipping segments B, C and D map along the radial lines, increasingly further away from the frequency axis. Finally, the asymptotic tail E maps along the radial line that represents the boundary between the propagation and the evanescent region. The evanescent region corresponds to the energy that is located at or greater than 90 degrees from the vertical. The opposite side of the hyperbola maps onto the second quadrant (negative kx) in the f − k domain. In the continuous case, a diffraction hyperbola is represented by a series of continuous radial lines that constitute an inverted triangular area in the f − k domain (Figure 4.1-26).
Figure 4.1-1 Migration principles: The reflection segment C′D′ in the time section as in (b), when migrated, is moved updip, steepened, shortened, and mapped onto its true subsurface location CD as in (a). Adapted from [1].
Figure 4.1-27 A hyperbola on the t − x plane maps onto an inverted triangular area on the f − k plane. (See text for details.)
Figure 4.1-28 (a) A diffraction hyperbola modeled from an impulse in the t − x domain, (b) the f − k spectrum of (a), (c) migration of (a), (d) the f − k spectrum of (c); (e) bandpass-filtered version of (a), (f) the f − k spectrum of (e), (g) migration of (e), and (h) the f − k spectrum of (g).
A curious fact emerges from the f − k spectrum of the migrated section in Figure 4.1-26. We expect migration to collapse the diffraction hyperbola to a point at the apex. The spectrum of this migrated section really should be more like that in Figure 4.1-28 — a rectangle. Why is there a difference between this spectrum and the spectrum after migration in Figure 4.1-26?
If you start with a point and model it, you get the diffraction hyperbola in Figure 4.1-28. However, in reality we deal with a diffraction hyperbola as shown in Figure 4.1-26. The hyperbolas do not look different in the t − x domain, but note the difference in their f − k spectra. The f − k spectrum of the real-life diffraction, which is always subjected to bandpass filtering (Figure 4.1-26), is missing the energy above the 48-Hz line that is present in the f − k spectrum of the modeled diffraction curve (Figure 4.1-28). These missing high frequencies cause the difference between the spectra after migration.

Thomas Inch: The Scarborough Hercules
When it comes to legends of British bodybuilding, few have surpassed the enduring contribution made by Thomas Inch, the 'Scarborough Hercules'.
Although he might look like a portly butler from Downton Abbey, Inch was, throughout his life, one of the world's strongest men, performing feats of circus-hall strength which far eclipsed those of the great Eugen Sandow.
Of these, the most notable was the incredible – and now infamous – 'Thomas Inch Dumbbell', a lift which has cemented its place in strongman lore.
Winner of Britain's Strongest Youth and Britain's Strongest Man, the charismatic Inch was also a well-respected instructor and prolific writer on physical fitness.
But perhaps his most significant contribution to the fraternity of bodybuilding was his pioneering introduction of plates for dumbbells and barbells.
Without Tom Inch, we might still be lifting clumsy globes filled with lead.
(This is just rhetoric, of course – I'm sure if we can invent nuclear power and fly people to the Moon, some boffin would have figured out a way to make a dumbbell smaller.)
Through his many contributions, Thomas Inch was ultimately the man who bridged the gap between the old school circus-hall lifters and the thriving culture of bodybuilding as we know it today.
Thomas Inch was born on December 17, 1881 in Scarborough, a seaside town on the North Yorkshire coast.
He became interested in bodybuilding and strength as a young boy.
Like many of us, he wanted to be strong, and he wanted big muscles.
Inch learned from his parents that one way to achieve this was through manual labour, so he procured a shovel and dedicated his time to digging up his parents' garden, stooping in rhythm, day in, day out, much to the bemusement of his neighbours.
(Whether or not this was a crafty ploy by his parents to facilitate a new patio is unconfirmed, but quite probable.)
From these honest beginnings, Inch would dedicate the rest of his life to the pursuit of muscle and strength, living and breathing weightlifting until his death in 1963.
Lifting career
In 1902, aged 19, Inch was hailed indisputably as the 'World's Strongest Youth', a claim bestowed on him by one of the biggest strongman publications of the day.
As a young lifter, Inch was, like many of his peers, inspired by Eugen Sandow.
Attending one of the German's famous shows, Inch sat in the audience and watched Sandow perform one of his trademark acts: ripping a pack of cards in half and throwing the split deck into the audience.
Inch caught one half of the pack, proceeded to nonchalantly split that in half, and, much to the annoyance of Sandow, triumphantly threw it back onto the stage.
After further success on the local strongman circuit, Inch went on to win the title of Britain's Strongest Man on June 11, 1910.
The Scarborough Hercules continued to lift right and win competitions right up until his death.
At the age of 68, Inch was still capable of deadlifting 540 pounds!
His lifetime best lifts include a two hands anyhow of 356 1/2 pounds and a bent press of 304 1/2 pounds.
As was customary for many of the country's foremost strength athletes, Inch went on to become a professor of physical fitness.
In 1903, he launched a mail order muscle course that would eventually become the most popular of its kind in the country.
Two years later, he published Scientific Weightlifting, the first in a long line of books.
It was stratospherically successful and went on to sell over 40,000 copies.
By the 1930s, Inch had become a household name and a leading expert on strength.
At this time, his mail order series employed over 70 members of staff, answering up to 3,000 letters every day!
Inch wrote many books on strength training and bodybuilding, his most well-known publication probably being 1907's Thomas Inch On Strength, in which he lays out his various theories on physical culture, sounding a lot like Billy Elliot's dad in the process.
He is a very poor specimen of manhood who has no interest in manly games and sports, old English field athletics, feats of strength, and good physical development.
Aside from the strength advice, it's essentially a tome for 1950's Dads.
So if you have hairy knuckles, smoke a pipe, and live in fear of your daughter dating a communist and/or black man – and you like lifting weights – start reading now!
Strongman show
Throughout his life, Thomas Inch toured his one-man strongman show across the country.
The show, which was sponsored by Bovril (only in the North), saw Inch, who would often dress as a Roman Gladiator, perform ludicrous feats of strength, such as bent pressing a man on a bicycle and bicep curling an otter.
Inch offered financial rewards for anyone that could replicate his lifts.
No-one ever managed this feat – apart from the champion boxer Len Harvey, who became the first man ever (apart from Inch) to close the 'Inch Challenge Grip Machine'.
Displeased with this incident, Inch immediately introduced an even tougher machine into his act to prevent this from ever happening again.
The Inch Dumbbell
Inch excelled at overhead lifts, and undoubtedly his most iconic lift was the Inch Dumbbell.
Sometimes referred to as the '172', this was a dumbbell that weighed 172 pounds and 9 ounces (see right).
In addition to being obscenely heavy, the Inch Dumbbell was practically impossible to lift because of its ludicrously thick handle, which had a diameter of 2 3/8 inches.
Inch lifted this dumbbell overhead for the first time in June 6, 1908 with apparent ease.
In each subsequent show he would challenge his audience to lift the Inch Dumbbell.
Over the next 50 years, most people, including legendary strongman Arthur Saxon and bodybuilding icon Reg Park, failed to lift this dumbbell off the ground, let alone hoist it overhead.
Since Inch, only a handful of strongmen have ever been able to replicate this seminal lift.
Inch was an all-round sportsman and excelled at a wide range of disciplines, from cycling and boxing to darts and billiards.
Indeed, such was his expertise and renown, that he was called in to coach many of the country's top boxers in strength and conditioning.
During the Great War, Inch's expertise in physical culture was further put to good use in rehabilitating wounded soldiers at Fulham Military Hospital.
Death and legacy
Thomas Inch died on December 12, 1963, weeks before his 82nd birthday.
He was, undoubtedly, one of the most influential personalities in the history of weightlifting.
His professional work in the field of physical culture, combined with his popular strongman exploits, helped bodybuilding reach a mainstream audience.
He was also a leading proponent of the health benefits of lifting weights and helped disprove the medical opinion that weightlifting was bad for the heart.
Unfortunately, however, his family failed to share the reverence now bestowed on the Scarborough Hercules, and after his death they brusquely – and tragically – scrapped his collection of bodybuilding memorabilia which he had amassed over his lifetime.
Utter, utter idiots!
Nonetheless, Inch's achievements and larger than life personality continue to endure, inspiring countless more athletes to pursue their dreams of muscle and strength.

What is the Superstrate of a solar cell made of?
What is superstrate configuration?
How efficient are CIGS solar panels?
What is the role of mesoporous tio2 in Dssc?
What is the difference between superstrate and substrate?
What are the advantages of CIGS solar cells?
Which type of solar cells are currently the most efficient?
What electrolyte is used in DSSC?
glass substrate
The discussion on CdTe solar cells in superstrate configuration is divided in five parts: glass substrate, front contact, buffer layer, absorber, and back contact as shown in Fig. 4.
The term superstrate refers to a solar cell configuration where the glass substrate is not only used as supporting structure but also as window for the illumination and as part of the encapsulation. During operation the glass is "above" the actual solar cell. Thus the name "Super"strate.
How does a CIGS solar cell work?
CIGS solar cell, in full copper indium gallium selenide solar cell, thin-film photovoltaic device that uses semiconductor layers of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) to absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity.
Copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) based solar cells are receiving worldwide attention for solar power generation. They are efficient thin film solar cells that have achieved 22.8% efficiency comparable to crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafer based solar cells.
This mesoporous structure could facilitate mass transport and diffusion of the electrolyte in DSSC.
What is substrate configuration?
1 The Substrates. CIGSSe devices are usually grown in what is known as substrate configuration, which means that the substrate remains the first step in the fabrication process, but the back layer to illumination.
A substratum or substrate is a language that has lower power or prestige than another, while a superstratum or superstrate is the language that has higher power or prestige. Both substratum and superstratum languages influence each other, but in different ways.
The benefits of CIGS solar cells include: High absorption: This direct-bandgap material can absorb a significant portion of the solar spectrum, enabling it to achieve the highest efficiency of any thin-film technology. Tandem design: A tunable bandgap allows the possibility of tandem CIGS devices.
How dye sensitized solar cells work?
Sunlight passes through the transparent electrode into the dye layer where it can excite electrons that then flow into the conduction band of the n-type semiconductor, typically titanium dioxide. The electrons from titanium dioxide then flow toward the transparent electrode where they are collected for powering a load.
Monocrystalline solar panels are known to deliver the highest efficiency in standard test conditions when compared to the other 2 types of solar cells. The current delivered monocrystalline solar panel efficiency stands at 22-27%.
In addition, using a solvent-free ionic liquid (imidazolium salts) electrolyte, (137) the lifetime of the DSSC for outdoor use was estimated at over 15 years. The acid–base (or donor–acceptor) interaction between solvents and other components is an important factor affecting the photovoltaic performance of DSSCs.
Which of the following materials can be used as solar cells materials?
Silicon is the most widely used material for solar cells due to its abundance in the earth's crust.

Jamaican Volunteers and the Development of National Consciousness
Title Jamaican Volunteers and the Development of National Consciousness
Authors Smith, Richard
Publisher Manchester University Press
City Manchester
This study explores the dynamics of race and masculinity to provide fresh historical insight into the First World War and its Imperial dimensions, examining the experiences of Jamaicans who served in British regiments. Reluctance to accept West Indian volunteers was rooted in the belief that black men lacked the qualities necessary for modern warfare. This, combined with fears over white racial degeneration, resulted in the need to preserve established hierarchies, which was achieved through the exclusion of blacksoldiers from the front line and their confinement in labour battalions. However, despite their exclusion from the battlefield, the author shows that the experience of war was invaluable in allowing veterans to appropriate codes of heroism, sacrifice and citizenship in order to wage their own battles for independence on their return home, culminating in the nationalistupsurge of the late 1930s. This book offers a lively and accessible account that will prove invaluable to those studying the Imperial dimensions of the First World War, as well and those interested in the wider notions of race and masculinity in the British Empire.

Egyptians Protest After Former Army Chief Won Presidential Election
niyi
With former army chief, who was hardly known before former President Mohammed Morsi appointed him, becoming the president in the just conclude elections, protests have rocked cities across Egypt.
Abdel Fattah el-Sisi won the country's presidential elections in what EU observers called "in line with the law".
Demonstrators took to the streets in the capital Cairo, Bani Suef and Fayoum, on Friday, holding banners with photos of the ousted president Mohamed Morsi and chanting against the president-elect.
A day earlier, an EU team that monitored the presidential election said the vote was conducted "in line with the law", although it regretted the lack of participation of some "stakeholders".
Preliminary results from the three-day election that ended on Wednesday gave 96 percent of votes to Sisi.
Sisi's opponents say Egypt has returned to autocratic rule since he deposed Morsi. More than 1,400 have been killed in street clashes and thousands imprisoned in a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies.
Despite Sisi's victory, the vote was seen as a blow to the military establishment, because of its low voter turnout, a fact noted by EU observers.
Robert Goebbels, a senior member of the EU mission, said "high turnout is not necessarily proof of democratic elections", noting that turnout in states like North Korea with only one candidate can reach 99 percent.
EU officials said the election was held in a "peaceful and calm manner" with "only minor procedural problems and a limited number of violations".
The lack of participation "undermined universal participation in the election", the EU said a statement.
The poll was criticised by the US monitor Democracy International. It said: "Egypt's repressive political environment made a genuinely democratic presidential election impossible."
Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, blacklisted by the military-installed authorities as a "terrorist" organisation, had called for a boycott of the election.

Q: UNIX - How to write a bash script to automatically change to next/previous directory Say I have this folder structure:
MainFolder
    Folder1
    Folder2
    Folder3
    ...
    Folder200

I want to write a script that, if I am current inside Folder2 and execute the script, it will automatically change to the next directory in the list, in this case, Folder3. The restrictions are that the folders could have any name, and I cannot rename it.
So my questions are:
1) How can I know what directory is next on the list? I was wondering if the subdirectories of a directory have a sequential index number that I could use to know what dir comes next.
2) Since I would like to display the name of the new directory at the end of the script, is there a way to display only the dir name? (eg: Folder3 instead of /home/path/to/dir/Folder3 which is the result of "pwd")

A: *

*What defines the order in which the directories are to be processed?  If you have directories without spaces and other special characters in their names, you can use ls to list the directories in order, and then find the name after the current directory:
cwd=$(basename $PWD)
nwd=$(ls .. | awk "/^$cwd$/ { found = 1; next; } { if (found) { print; found = 0 } }")
if [ -d ../$nwd ]
then cd ../$nwd
fi

*The name of the directory (only) is found using basename $PWD or ${PWD##*/}.

A: This should work, assuming the sequence has no holes.
cdn()
{
  cd ${PWD%%[0-9]*}$(( $(echo $PWD | sed 's/.*[^0-9]//')+1))
}

Edit: it seems I overlooked the "directory could have any name" statement. From your example, I assumed they have a trailing numerical id ...
It would have been clearer if you had put random names instead of Folderxx in your example.
Edit2: Here is a shell function that suits your requirements:
cdn()
{
    for i in $(echo "/\/$(basename $PWD)$/
+1,\$p
Q" | ed -s !"ls -d ../*" | tail -n +2)
    do
        \cd $i 2>/dev/null && echo $(basename $PWD) && break
    done
}

Q: How to delete everything outside of the print area in Excel? I am new to VBA and am trying to delete everything outside of the specified print area for every worksheet in my file. I have code that is working alright, but for some tabs, the print area begins in column B, and I need to delete column A because it is not in the print area. I cannot figure out how to rewrite my code to ensure that the column to the left of the specified print area will get deleted.
Dim FirstEmptyRow As Long
Dim FirstEmptyCol As Integer
Dim rng As Range
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        If .PrintArea = "" Then
            Set rng = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
        Else
            Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range(.PrintArea)
        End If
    End With

    FirstEmptyCol = rng.Cells(rng.Cells.Count).Column + 1
    FirstEmptyRow = rng.Rows.Count + rng.Cells(1).Row

    Range(Cells(1, FirstEmptyCol), Cells(1, 256)).EntireColumn.Delete
    Range(Cells(FirstEmptyRow, 1), Cells(Rows.Count, 1)).EntireRow.Delete

A: Try adding this additional code:
 If rng.Column > 1 Then
    Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, rng.Column - 1)).EntireColumn.Delete
 End If

A: You could try this. Find the PrintAreaand then using Intersect you could loop through the cells and find which cells are not in the PrintArea, Union the cells and then delete them at the end. Doing it this way you can delete everything that's not a part of the PrintArea, all at the same time. Hope this helps:
Sub testPrintArea()
    Dim printAreaRange As Range
        With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        If .PrintArea = "" Then
            Set printAreaRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
        Else
            Set printAreaRange = ActiveSheet.Range(.PrintArea)
        End If
    End With

    ' Get non print area cells and union them
    Dim nonPrintAreaCells As Range
    Dim cell As Range
    For Each cell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
        If Intersect(cell, printAreaRange) Is Nothing Then
            If nonPrintAreaCells Is Nothing Then
                Set nonPrintAreaCells = cell
            Else
                Set nonPrintAreaCells = Union(nonPrintAreaCells, cell)
            End If
        End If
    Next cell

    ' do whatever...
    nonPrintAreaCells.Value = ""
End Sub

A: You can use the Column and Row properties of a range to determine where it starts, like this
Sub DeleteOutsidePrintArea(ws As Worksheet)
    Dim rng As Range

    With ws
        If .PageSetup.PrintArea = vbNullString Then
            Set rng = .UsedRange
        Else
            Set rng = .Range(.PageSetup.PrintArea)
        End If

        ' Delete columns to left, if any
        If rng.Column > 1 Then
            .Columns(1).Resize(, rng.Column - 1).Delete
        End If

        ' Delete rows above, if any
        If rng.Row > 1 Then
            .Rows(1).Resize(rng.Row - 1).Delete
        End If

        ' Delete columns to right, if any
        If rng.Columns.Count < (.UsedRange.Columns.Count + .UsedRange.Column - 1) Then
            .Columns(rng.Columns.Count + 1).Resize(, .UsedRange.Columns.Count + .UsedRange.Column - 1 - rng.Columns.Count).Delete
        End If

        ' Delete rows below, if any
        If rng.Rows.Count < (.UsedRange.Rows.Count + .UsedRange.Row - 1) Then
            .Rows(rng.Rows.Count + 1).Resize(.UsedRange.Rows.Count + .UsedRange.Row - 1 - rng.Rows.Count).Delete
        End If
    End With
End Sub

Call it like this
Sub Demo()
    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim ws As Worksheet

    Set wb = ThisWorkbook '<~~~ Adjust to suit
    For Each ws In wb.Worksheets
        DeleteOutsidePrintArea ws
    Next
End Sub


What I most cherish is the observation of the movement of colors. Only in this have I found the laws of those simultaneous and complementary color contrasts that nourish the actual rhythm of my vision. In this I find the actual essence, an essence which is not born out of an a priori system or theory.
I am interested in the creation of space through colour contrasts rather than through simple shading of light and dark.

After Facebook admitted that hackers broke into nearly 50 million users' accounts by stealing their "access tokens" or digital keys, cyber experts on Saturday warned over 2.3 billion users to log out and log back into Facebook, or any of third-party apps that use Facebook login.
Facebook has reset the access tokens of almost 50 million accounts it knew were affected. It has also taken the precautionary step of resetting access tokens for another 40 million accounts that have been subject to "View As" look-up in the last year.
According to Gary McGraw, vice president of Security Technology, Synopsys (Software Integrity Group), this breach emphasises just how important software security is, and how subtle solid security engineering can be.
"When a feature like 'View As' can be turned on its head into an exploit, it indicates a design problem that led to unanticipated security vulnerability," noted Dr McGraw.
"Design flaws like this lurk in the mind boggling complexity of today's commercial systems, and must be systematically uncovered and corrected when software is being designed and built," he added.
If you've ever wondered what keeps you logged into your account even after you restart your laptop/browser - those are access tokens (cookies).
"In this case, hackers were able to steal these tokens, which basically means the hacker could fool Facebook servers to believe they are the authorised users of the target's account that would give the attacker, complete access of the target's account," said Saket Modi, CEO and co-founder of Lucideus, an IT risk assessment and digital security services provider.
According to experts, they don't know for how long the vulnerability existed, who the hackers were and the extent of damage that might have been caused in terms of stealing not only one's profile data but, in this case, potentially the personal messages, pictures and chats, among others.
"As a precaution, all Facebook users must log out and re-login into all the gadgets that they have their Facebook session active like your cell phone (app or browser), laptop and desktop, etc," Modi advised.
"We're working hard to better understand these details and "we will update this post when we have more information, or if the facts change," said the company.
