Wind profiles have been measured using monostatic sodar in more than 20 locations in the Northeast US and Canada, in support of wind energy resource assessment programs. Most of the locations have been in complex terrain, and often they have been partly or mostly forested. A better understanding of roughness lengths derived from wind profiles to 200 m would be an aid to modeling the wind resource on a meso- or micro-scale. This is particularly important because modern utility-scale wind turbines have hub heights of 80 m, reaching a layer of the lower boundary layer that is not commonly addressed by tower measurements. Furthermore, many present-day wind farms are large, covering a range of surface types, so that a single roughness parameterization is not adequate for modeling the wind resource for a given project.
Sodar data include the 3 orthogonal wind speed components and their standard deviations. The standard deviation of the vertical velocity was used to make a conversion from the vector speeds to scalar speeds more commonly provided by the reference tower (cup anemometer) measurements. In flatter more homogeneous terrain, agreement between sodar and tower wind speeds is quite good, with slopes near 1.0 and R2 values greater than 0.9. However, significant variation in the wind speed profile is found over short distances in complex terrain or more heterogeneous cover.
For this paper, sodar wind profiles from 30 to 200 m at 5 sites are compared, representing a range of landscape and cover types, as well as stability classes. The roles of heterogeneity in surface roughness (derived from high-resolution aerial photos), as well as stability and terrain to the observed z0 are examined. The accuracy of the commonly used power-law description of the wind profile is evaluated for various terrain types and conditions.

Observing Nepal's 2013 Constituent Assembly Election

Nepal - Politics
Nepal is governed by a Communist government, only the sixth in the world after China, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam and Laos. April traditionally is a month of political ferment in Nepal, primarily for meteorological, rather than ideological, reasons. Protests are almost a springtime ritual here, and the scent of spring flowers in the air is typically accompanied by the smell of burning tires, as the warmer, pre-monsoon weather draws various groups out into the streets to vent assorted grievances.
A final agreement regarding a constituent assembly election was adopted by the political parties in December 2007. It elaborated a plan for an assembly of 601 seats—335 elected under a proportional representation system, 240 under a first-past-the-post system, and 26 nominated by the Council of Ministers. The election took place in April 2008, following months of delay and political maneuvering. Approximately 60 percent of registered voters cast ballots.
The Communist Party of Nepal–Maoist, which later became UCPN–Maoist, won 220 seats to become the largest party in the constituent assembly. The Nepali Congress captured the second largest number of seats with 110, followed closely by the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist), which won 103. The Madhesi parties, collectively, captured the fourth largest share with 83 seats.
The final list of members elected under the proportional representation system was released on May 8, 2008. The members of the Constituent Assembly [CA] were sworn in on May 27, 2008, and the first session of the CA was convened on May 28, 2008. In this session, the CA voted to declare Nepal a federal democratic republic by abolishing the monarchy. Out of 564 members of the CA who voted, 560 voted in favor and 4 against the motion.
Historically marginalized groups around the country, radicalized by the Maoists in the decadelong insurgency, began to press with increasing intensity for their rights and a greater inclusion in national-level affairs. This movement was particularly pronounced among the Madhesi people living in the Tarai, Nepal's southern plains. Unrest in the Tarai continued for many months, with periodic strikes, bandhs (shutdowns), outbreaks of violence, and the rise and proliferation of armed groups.
Elections - 2008
Some observers were concerned that widespread violence may return if the Communist Party of Nepal - Maoist (CPN-M), the group which waged a 10-year armed struggle against the former government of Nepal, felt its political agenda has been thwarted by political opposition in the Constituent Assembly. The Constituent Assembly elections of April 10, 2008, were a key step toward consolidating peace in Nepal and enhancing Nepal's democratic process.
The Constituent Assembly was elected to form the structure of the new government of Nepal. It was also confronted with the need to address economic development and ethnic issues. The Maoists would lead this process as they had the largest representation in the Constituent Assembly.
As violence associated with the former Maoist insurgency abated, intercommunal tensions mounted and at times become violent. This has been particularly acute in the Terai region where the Madhesi live. The Madhesi, or plains folk, seek autonomy to free themselves from what they feel is domination by Pahadis from the more mountainous parts of northern Nepal. The Madhesi added a new regional dimension to Nepal's struggle for political stability. A new threat to the political stability of Nepalemerged from a number of groups representing Madhesi in southern Nepal.
In August 2008, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal (Maoist) was sworn in as Prime Minister. Less than a year into his term, Prime Minister Dahal resigned from the government on May 4, 2009 following a dispute over his bid to dismiss the Chief of the Army Staff. On May 23, members from 22 of the 24 political parties represented in the Constituent Assembly elected veteran Communist Party of Nepal-United Marxist Leninist (UML) leader Madhav Kumar Nepal as Prime Minister. Madhav Kumar Nepal was sworn in on May 25, 2009. On June 30, 2010, Prime Minister Nepal announced his resignation "for the sake of consensus" and to end the country's political deadlock following months of Maoist protests. On February 3, 2011, after 16 rounds of voting, Jhala Nath Khanal (UML) was elected Prime Minister; however, 6 months later on August 14, 2011 Khanal resigned from the government, citing the failure to make significant progress on the peace process. On August 29, 2011, Baburam Bhattarai (Maoist) was sworn in as Nepal's 35th Prime Minister, and the fourth Prime Minister since the 2008 CA election.
The CA could not promulgate a new constitution and dissolved on May 28, 2012,. It failed to finish the constitution drafting process despite repeated extensions, ending four years of constitution drafting. This created a constitutional and political void in the country until the Second CA was constituted. When the CA was dissolved there was a great disappointment among the population and some anger against political parties.
Presidential Election - 2018
More than 330 lawmakers from the Federal Parliament and 550 lawmakers from the Provincial Council are eligible to vote for president. The Federal parliament was formed after the completion of House of Representatives and Province Assembly elections in December 2017. There are also 59 members of the National Assembly who can vote, minus three nominees of the National Assembly whose appointments have been challenged at the Supreme Court. A total of 549 lawmakers from the Provincial Council will vote to elect the new president. The polls opened at 10:00 am and closed at 3:00 pm. Incumbent President Bidhya Devi Bhandari looked poised to win a second term.

Net worth is simply the total value of all your significant assets minus all your debts. Assets include cash and investments, your home and real estate, and cars -- along with anything else of value that your own. Debts include all the amounts that you owe on these assets and other debts, such as credit cards.
To improve personal net worth you must first determine where you currently stand. So let's get started. Write down all your assets, including those items mentioned above, your retirement savings, and anything else of value. Next to each of these assets write down an honest estimated value. After determining the total value of your assets, write down all your debts/liabilities and the amounts you owe on each of them. There are several free online calculators to help you aggregate all your bank accounts/investments and credit cards, which may make this process a little easier. These calculators will also keep up with these accounts in real time so you can perform this calculation more quickly next time. Two of the most popular are mint.com and Personal Capital.
Now that you know your current net worth, here are some tips to improve it. Keep in mind that these tips will help improve your net worth over time. Remember to set reasonable monthly and annual goals. Think of it like losing weight: losing 20 pounds overnight is an unreasonable expectation... so is doubling your net worth by tomorrow.
The general rule of thumb for an initial emergency fund is about $1,000. Depending on your personal situation, you may need a larger amount. This fund is a good idea for several reasons. The cash is there for unexpected expenses and unforeseen events -- rather than having to use a credit card. Remember that using a credit card lowers your net worth, which is counterproductive. If you can't put away $1,000 immediately, set up automatic transfers to a savings or money market account of whatever amount you can afford each pay period.
Begin by paying off the debt account with the highest interest rate and then move on down the line. Credit cards, student loans and car/truck loans (in that order) tend to have higher interest rates. Consolidating debt under a lower interest rate is often a good idea. The will be fewer accounts to keep up with and you will pay less in interest over time.
There are two ways to increase monthly available cash. You can make more money or you can reduce how much you spend. Generally, you have more direct control over how much you spend while you have less direct control over your salary. Evaluate your monthly expenses and determine what conveniences you can reduce or even eliminate. Start small, such as ordering take-out one less time per week. Again, small adjustments make large improvements.
One of the easiest ways to invest your money is a retirement plan. Employers often have a 401(k) retirement plan or some equivalent; and most will even match a percentage of whatever amount you contribute to that plan. A best practice is to contribute at least the amount that will max out your employer's match. If your employer does not have a retirement plan, open an IRA account with a brokerage firm of your choosing. Generally, you can open an account with small automatic transfers to the account, rather than contributing the large initial amount often required by financial institutions.
These tips will only get you started down the right path for increasing your overall net worth. Please consult with your financial advisor for a more personalized plan to suit your individual/family needs.

Regulation of CART peptide expression by CREB in the rat nucleus accumbens in vivo.
Rogge GA1, Jones DC, Green T, Nestler E, Kuhar MJ.
Production of mRNA from the cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) gene is regulated by cocaine and other drugs of abuse in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), a brain reward region. Current hypotheses postulate that CART peptides there oppose the rewarding actions of cocaine by opposing the effects of dopaminergic transmission. Since over expression of CREB was shown to decrease cocaine-mediated reward, we hypothesized that CART could be a target gene for CREB in the NAc and that over expression of CREB would increase CART peptide levels. Transcription factor (TF) binding to DNA is influenced by sequences adjacent to consensus TF binding sites and other factors. We thus examined CREB binding to a 27mer oligonucleotide containing the CRE sequence from the CART gene proximal promoter. Using electrophoretic mobility shift assays and TF-antibody super shift assays, CREB was found to bind to the CRE sequence from the CART promoter. To test if over expression of CREB in the NAc affected CART peptide levels, Herpes simplex virus-1 vectors over expressing CREB (HSV-CREB), or a vector that expressed LacZ (HSV-LacZ) as a control, were injected into the NAc of rats. Western blotting and in situ hybridization showed that HSV-CREB injections increased CART mRNA and peptide levels. Injections of a dominant negative CREB mutant (HSV-mCREB) did not alter either CART mRNA or peptide levels. The finding that CREB can regulate the levels of CART mRNA and peptides in vivo in the NAc supports a role for CART peptides in psychostimulant-induced reward and reinforcement.
Oligonucleotides containing the CART promoter CRE cis-regulatory element bind to CREB and phospho-CREB from the rat NAc. EMSA and super shift analyses were performed using nuclear proteins from the NAc as described in the Experimental procedures (the gel shown is representative of the data from at least five other animals assayed separately in independent experiments). The sequence of the regions of the CART promoter containing the CRE cis-element (the 27mer is referred to as the "CRE") is given below the picture of the gel in the box, and the core binding sequence is underlined. 32P-CRE+NAc transcription factor (TF) complexes were visualized by incubating proteins extracted from cell nuclei with a 32P-radiolabeled oligonucleotide identical in sequence to the CART gene CRE cis-regulatory element along with its flanking sequence, and separating free 32P-CRE (see figure's bottom right) from the 32P-CRE+NAc TF complex on a polyacrylamide gel (complex is denoted by boxed arrow at the figure's top left). The identity of the protein in the 32P-CRE+NAc TF complex was determined by super shift analysis using either a CREB- or ser133 phospho-CREB-specific antibody (see box at top right denoting the 32P-CRE+NAc TF+antibody complex). See text for additional details.
Nissl-stained hemisection in the coronal plane shows an example of the site of injection. HSV vectors were injected into the NAc as described in the Experimental procedures. Stereotaxic coordinates were determined from the Rat Atlas (). The section is at A/V +1.5, M/L±1.6 and D/V−7.6 and 1.6×1000 magnification. The anterior commissure, ventricles and injection site are delineated and the accumbens region has been circled to orient the reader.
HSV-CREB injections into the rat NAc increase CREB protein levels. The levels of CREB protein (approximately 45 kDa) in NAc from an HSV-CREB treated animal was determined by Western blot and compared to CREB levels in a control animal treated with HSV-LacZ (ratio of 1.42±052, p<0.01). The two lanes on the left show duplicate repeats using tissue from one of a pair of animals, and the two lanes on the right are duplicate repeats from the other, control animal of the pair. All lanes were loaded with the same amount of tissue protein as measured by Bradford assay previous to loading the gel. Quantification and statistical analysis of immunoreactive bands were performed using the Scion Image software (NIH, Bethesda, MD) as described in the Experimental procedures. This result is representative for a total of five pairs of animals prepared and assayed separately in independent experiments. See text for details.
HSV-CREB injections into the rat NAc increase CART peptide levels. The levels of CART peptide (approximately 6.5 kDa) in NAc from an HSV-CREB treated animal were determined by Western blot and compared to CART peptide levels in a control animal treated with HSV-LacZ (ratio of 1.32±0.073, p<0.01). The three lanes on the left show triplicate repeats using tissue from one of a pair of animals, and the three lanes on the right are triplicate repeats from the other, control animal of the pair. Each lane is normalized to whole tissue actin (approximately 50 kDa) as measured by Western blot. After normalization, the ratio of the pair of values were calculated and analyzed as described in the Experimental procedures. This result is representative of a total of six pairs of animals prepared and assayed separately in independent experiments. See text for details.
Over-expression of CREB increases CART mRNA in the rat NAc. CART mRNA levels were measured by in situ hybridization 36 h following viral infection with either HSV-CREB or mCREB. Animals received HSV-CREB or HSV-mCREB in one hemisphere and a control (sham injection or HSV-LacZ vehicle) in the contralateral hemisphere thus allowing each animal to serve as its own control. (A) Representative autoradiogram showing increased radioactive CART mRNA signal in the HSV-CREB treated hemisphere. (B) Quantitative analysis was conducted by measuring the relative OD of the radioactive signal in the NAc. Data is expressed as the mean± SEM and significance was tested with a one-way ANOVA and Newman–Keuls post hoc test. HSV-infected animals had significantly higher CART mRNA levels compared to all controls and HSV-mCREB-infected animals (*p<0.01). CART mRNA levels in the NAc of HSV-mCREB treated rats did not differ from those in rats treated with sham injections or HSV-LacZ alone.
HSV-mCREB injections into the rat NAc trend towards decreasing CREB protein levels. The levels of CREB protein (approximately 45 kDa) in NAc from an HSV-mCREB treated animal was determined by Western blot and compared to CREB levels in an HSV-LacZ treated control animal (ratio of 0.73±0.148, p>0.05). The two lanes on the left show duplicate repeats using tissue from one of a pair of animals, and the two lanes on the right are duplicate repeats from the other, control animal of the pair. All lanes were normalized to its histone 2B content using an antibody specific to H2B. After normalization, the ratio of the pair of values were calculated and analyzed as described in the Experimental procedures. Quantification and statistical analysis of immunoreactive bands were performed using the Scion Image software (NIH, Bethesda, MD) as described in the Experimental procedures. This result is representative of a total of four pairs of animals prepared and assayed in independent experiments. See text for additional details.
HSV-mCREB injections into the rat NAc decrease phospho-CREB levels. The levels of ser133 phospho-CREB (approximately 45 kDa) in NAc from an HSV-mCREB treated animal was determined by Western blot and compared to phospho-CREB levels in an HSV-LacZ treated control animal (ratio of 0.64±0.145, p<0.05). In this representative blot showing phospho-CREB levels in a pair of animals, all lanes were normalized to the histone 2B content. After normalization, the ratio of the pair of values were calculated and analyzed as described in Methods. The two lanes on the left show duplicate repeats using tissue from one of a pair of animals, and the two lanes on the right are duplicate repeats from the other, control animal of the pair. Quantification and statistical analysis of immunoreactive bands were performed using the Scion Image software (NIH, Bethesda, MD) as described in the Experimental procedures. This result is representative for a total of seven pairs of animals prepared and assayed separately in independent experiments. See text for additional details.
HSV-mCREB injections into the rat NAc do not change CART peptide levels. The levels of CART peptide (approximately 6.5 kDa) in tissue from an HSV-mCREB treated animal were determined by Western blot and compared to CART peptide levels in an HSV-LacZ treated control animal (ratio of 1.02±0.071, P=0.842). In this representative blot showing CART levels in a pair of animals, each lane is normalized to whole tissue actin (approximately 50 kDa). After normalization, the ratio of the pair of values were calculated and analyzed as described in the Experimental procedures. This result is representative of a total of seven pairs of animals prepared and assayed separately in independent experiments. See text for additional details.

I-83 in Baltimore sees its fair share of motor vehicle accidents
On behalf of Law Office of Christine Saverda Nielson, P.A. | Feb 21, 2019 | Motor Vehicle Accidents
People in Baltimore may jest on social media that car crashes on Interstate 83 often occur by the fabled Pepsi Sign. However, the fact of the matter is that the entire stretch of I-83 in Baltimore sees more than its fair share of motor vehicle accidents. A study conducted by the Baltimore Department of Transportation reports that I-83 in Baltimore sees over two times as many motor vehicle accidents than all other comparable interstates in the state.
According to the study, annually there are over 37 collisions per mile on the stretch of I-83 that goes through Baltimore, resulting in around 250 to 300 accidents each year. Of these crashes, 26 percent were rear-end collisions and almost 20 percent of collisions involved one driver side-swiping another driver.
On all other comparable highways, approximately 16 collisions per mile occur. Of these crashes, 26 percent were rear-end collisions and almost 20 percent of collisions involved one driver side-swiping another driver.
The study examined data from 2010 to 2011, and found that the average motorist on I-83 in Baltimore drives above the posted speed limit. The speed limit on I-83 in Baltimore is lower than that on other interstates in Maryland, going as low as 40 miles per hour in some stretches, but motorists often drive around five miles per hour above the speed limit. In fact, 15 percent of motorists in a 40 or 50 miles per hour zone on I-83 in Baltimore will drive up to 60 miles per hour.
When a motorist drives above the posted speed limit, that motorist puts the safety of others in jeopardy. Even a minor fender-bender can leave a person shook up, and oftentimes injuries suffered in car crashes do not immediately manifest themselves. When a person is injured in a car crash, that person will likely incur medical expenses and may miss work. In addition, depending on the severity of the crash, a person could suffer emotional trauma or may find themselves permanently disabled. Any of these damages can affect a person's life. Therefore, those injured in auto accidents may want to explore their options for compensation to recoup some of what they lost, as well as hold the responsible party accountable.

As shown, 2 Enoch presents Melchizedek as a continuation of the priestly line from Methuselah, son of Enoch, directly to the second son of Lamech, Nir (brother of Noah), and on to Melchizedek.
Assuming the premise that Melchizedek was Shem, he would have been 465 years old at the time and Abram was 75 years of age. Chazalic literature unanimously identify Melchizedek as Shem son of Noah (Targum Yonathan to Genesis chap. 14, Genesis Rabbah 46:7, Babylonian Talmud to Tractate Nedarim 32b).
Melchizedek is an old Canaanite name meaning "My King Is [the god] Sedek" or "My King Is Righteousness" (the meaning of the similar Hebrew cognate). Salem, of which he is said to be king, is very probably Jerusalem.
Although the Book of Genesis affirms that Melchizedek was "priest of God Most High" (Genesis 14:18), the Midrash and Babylonian Talmud maintain that the priesthood held by Melchizedek, who pre-dated the patriarch Levi by five generations (Melchizedek pre-dates Aaron by six generations; Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Levi, …

Melchizedek and Abram both worshiped Yahweh. If you study Hebrew that is the name that is usually referred to God. The name Jehovah wasn't used until the 16th century A.D. If you were to research all the names that the Hebrews used to refer to God, Jehovah was not one of them.
The author of Heb 7:3 affirms of Melchizedek: "He is without father or mother or genealogy; he has neither beginning of days nor end of life . . . he continues a priest forever." Scholars argue that the author draws on Gen 14:17-20, which introduces Melchizedek without the customary identification of his clan or …
Melchizedek[xiii] was born from Sothonim's corpse. When Nir and Noah came in to bury Sothonim they saw the child sitting beside the corpse with "his clothing on him." According to the story they were terrified because the child was fully developed physically. The child spoke with his lips and he blessed the Lord.
He explains Melchizedek blessed Abraham long before the time of Moses and Aaron and the Levite priests, thus Melchizedek is a greater priest. Then he points out Jesus is a greater priest than the Levites, for Jesus is a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
The first priest mentioned in the Bible is Melchizedek, who was a priest of the Most High, and who officiated for Abraham. The first priest mentioned of another god is Potipherah priest of On, whose daughter Asenath married Joseph in Egypt.
IT IS INTERESTING: What does the Bible say about a man who divorces his wife?
Tithing has its roots in the Biblical tale of Abraham presenting a tenth of the war spoils to Melchizedek, the king of Salem. In the Old Testament, Jews brought 10% of their harvest to a storehouse as a welfare plan for the needy or in case of famine.
The high priests belonged to the Jewish priestly families that trace their paternal line back to Aaron, the first high priest of Israel in the Hebrew Bible and elder brother of Moses, through Zadok, a leading priest at the time of David and Solomon.
The offices of the Melchizedek Priesthood include elder, high priest, patriarch, Seventy and Apostle. Those who have this priesthood lead the Church and administer such ordinances as naming and blessing children, healing the sick and giving the gift of the Holy Ghost to newly baptized members.
In the New Testament, the genealogy of Jesus according to the Gospel of Luke traces Jesus' lineage back to King David through the line of Nathan, which the Gospel of Matthew traces it through Solomon, the line of Joseph, his legal father.
Despite serious resistance, tithing became obligatory as Christianity spread across Europe. It was enjoined by ecclesiastical law from the 6th century and enforced in Europe by secular law from the 8th century.
Overview. Salem is referenced in the following biblical passages: "And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God." (Genesis 14:18) "In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion." (Psalm 76:2)

A few months ago, in February to be precise, the Acer liquid Glow was showcased at the MWC 2012.
The Acer Liquid Glow, also known as the Acer E330, has now appeared in front of the FCC gates, and that makes us think we might get to see the device being launched in the US pretty soon.
For those of you who don't know the specifications that the phone comes with, here you go. The Acer Liquid Glow – or E330 – runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS and hides under the hood 512 MB RAM. It comes with a single core 1 GHz processor, in fact.
The device displays a 3.7 inch capacitive touch screen at a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. It comes with 1 GB of Internal storage space and a microSD card slot, which can be expanded up to 32 GB.
The phone also features a 5 megapixel camera, which can take pictures at 2592 x 1944 pixel resolution that comes with an LED flash and autofocus. On the connectivity front, it has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth A2DP and microUSB v2.0. The battery set is Standard Li-Ion.
The Acer Liquid Glow was announced back in the February of 2012 and the company said the device will be available during the summer.
So, it won't be long before we start seeing this phone in the hands of many of our friends. But will it be worth it?
With smartphones that come with dual core and quad core processors sporting screens bigger than 4 inches already ruling the market, will the Liquid Glow really stand a chance? It might, depending on the price of the device. So stay with us to know more on that.

Earthquake in Zipland is a computer game, which was developed by Moris Oz and released in 2004. It is a point and click adventure game. You click on dialogue options and work your way through different scenes. In the game a quest takes the player into a basement full of colorful characters and challenging tasks. The game tries to indirectly deal with a number of issues such as anger, guilt, loyalty conflicts, the fantasy to reunite the divorced parents and other emotional effects of divorce on children.

The goal of the game is to help children whose parents are undergoing divorce to cope with it. Game designer and therapist Chaya Harash says that it is the "first research-based psychological computer game designed to help children deal indirectly with divorce and separation". The game is designed to increase communication between the parents and children. The game comes with a Parent's Guide with tips and information on how to use the game with the child. You could use Earthquake in Zipland as a tool to help support children of divorce. The interactive story may include benefits of bibliotherapy brought to life on screen.

The game is available in two versions, one for parents and children and one for therapists and helping professionals. The game also works on Windows 98 and Windows XP

A substantive MD will be named on Friday.
Transport minister hints at Muhoho's re-appointment.
A new managing director of Kenya Airports Authority has been appointed to replace George Muhoho, whose contract has ended.
Transport minister Chirau Mwakwere has named Mr Muhoho's deputy, Mr Mathew Wamalwa, as new managing director in an acting capacity.
A substantive MD will be named on Friday, Mr Mwakwere told a news conference at his Nairobi office on Wednesday.
However, the minister has hinted at the possibility of Mr Muhoho been re-appointed.
"The position is open to anyone who qualifies. It does not exclude anyone including Mr Muhoho. It does not appear anywhere in the KAA Act that the MD should serve for only two terms."
Accompanied by assistant minister Harun Mwau and Transport deputy secretary Philomena Koech, Mr Mwakwere said he is free to appoint anyone who qualifies irrespective of age as KAA MD.
He praised Mr Muhoho's two terms at the helm of KAA saying he had done his work efficiently.
The minister said questions raised by State audit firm, Efficiency Monitoring Unit over the parastatal's financial dealings concerned the institution and not Mr Muhoho.
"No punitive measures are being considered against him. On corrective measures, the institution is being considered," Mr Mwakwere said.
The EMU raised questions over the parastatal's contracts worth Sh1.7 billion.
Among the projects that have been questioned include work undertaken at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, the Kisumu Airport, the Moi International Airport in Mombasa and the old airport at Embakasi, Nairobi.
In a joint report, the EMU and the Inspectorate of State Corporations revealed how the Kenya Airports Authority board and management failed to comply with regulations in the awarding of contracts.
The largest amount to have raised questions involved Sh1.4 billion ($191 million) accrued as a result of the failure by the contractor, MS Queens Quay Architects, to complete the construction of an apron, taxi ways and other installations at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Work on these projects had been scheduled to be completed in 10 months but was extended by 13 months, causing the initial cost of the projects to rise.
The emergency repair work at the Kisumu Airport runway was also single-sourced to a Chinese firm, M/S China Wu Yi, at their own quoted contract price of Sh17.6 million, contrary to public procurement regulations.
Apart from delay of JKIA expansion project, KAA has also been on the spot over plans to allocate the Old Embakasi Airport terminal for management by a private company.
Mr Muhoho is among parastatal chief executives and permanent secretaries who were mentioned in Parliament last year as past retirement age.
He has been a close ally of President Kibaki since their time in Cabinet under former President Moi.

STARSPORT brings you all the latest news from Manchester United, featuring Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Chris Smalling and Ashley Young.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not start for Manchester United this evening.
The striker is fit again after returning from an ACL injury.
The swede returned to action for the last 15 minutes when United beat Newcastle 4-1 on Saturday.
However, Mourinho does not think the 36-year-old is ready to be thrown into the fray from the start yet.
He told the media on Tuesday: "Zlatan goes on the bench tomorrow. He needs to play and he is useful for us.
"Instead of 15 [minutes], I would say 20, 25. But [he is in] no condition to start."
MANCHESTER UNITED stars were pictured at Manchester Airport today ahead of their flight to Switzerland.
Chris Smalling has hit back at Gareth Southgate after being dropped from the England squad.
The defender has clearly been hurt by the manager's suggestion he wanted central defenders who can bring the ball out of defence.
Smalling believes if he is good enough to play for Jose Mourinho in the Premier League's meanest defence then he should be good enough for his country.
Asked ahead of their Champions League game in Basel if he was surprised by his omission for the recent friendlies against Germany and Brazil, he said: "Yes, I was.
"But you don't play for one of the biggest clubs in the world for as long as I have and probably won the most trophies, bar the Champions League, without being able to do everything a top defender needs to do, be it playing or defending.
"I play for one of the biggest clubs and under one of the most successful managers in Jose."
Manchester United have extended the contract of Ashley Young.
The former Aston Villa man has established himself as Jose Mourinho's first-choice left back this season ahead of Luke Shaw, Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind.
His current £130,000-a-week deal was due to expire next summer but the club have given him the assurance of at least another campaign at Old Trafford.
United have already extended Ander Herrera's contract by further season while similar options are also available with Juan Mata, Blind and Shaw.
Young came off the bench to make his 31st appearance for England against Brazil during the November international break.

Q: Wordpress Gravity Forms: Pass dropdown's value to 2nd page's dropdown I have a Wordpress Gravity Form.
On the 1st page of the form, I have a dropdown box that is dynamically populated. No problems here.
Now, on the 2nd page of the same form, I have another dropdown that I need to dynamically populate too, based on the selected option from the 1st dropdown.
Is this possible, and if so, would not be too complicated to do?

A: Here's an example where I'm populating a drop down on page 2 with post meta based on the post selected from a drop down on page 1:
add_filter( 'gform_pre_render_918', 'populate_post_meta' );
add_filter( 'gform_pre_validation_918', 'populate_post_meta' );
add_filter( 'gform_pre_submission_filter_918', 'populate_post_meta' );
add_filter( 'gform_admin_pre_render_918', 'populate_post_meta' );
function populate_post_meta( $form ) {

    $field_id      = 3;
    $post_field_id = 1;

    foreach ( $form['fields'] as &$field ) {

        if ( $field->id != $field_id ) {
            continue;
        }

        // you can add additional parameters here to alter the posts that are retrieved
        // more info: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts)
        $post_id   = rgpost( "input_{$post_field_id}" );
        $post_meta = get_post_custom( $post_id );

        $choices = array();

        foreach ( $post_meta as $value ) {
            $choices[] = array( 'text' => $value[0], 'value' => $value[0] );
        }

        // update 'Select a Post' to whatever you'd like the instructive option to be
        $field->placeholder = 'Select a Value';
        $field->choices = $choices;

    }

    return $form;
}

Wanted: Neutral Density filters, 1" unmounted and 24mm mounted - SolarChat!
I am modifying and modernizing an older Japanese-made Herschel wedge that I have and am interested in finding neutral density filters to use with it in older scopes. The wedge was made for the Japanese 24mm/0.965" standard, so it's kind of hard to find proper-sized filters now. It's still fun to use the old classics every now and again.
I've tried using a 0.965-1..25" step-up adapter, but this adds both too much length and too much weight on the wedge when using 1.25" eyepieces, even light ones.
1) a 1" (or so) ND 3.0 (0.1% transmission) or so (more is better) UNMOUNTED filter which I can adapt to mount permanently in the wedge. A filter in a damaged 1.25" holder *might* work.
2) a range of ND filters in 24mm filter holders, a la Baader -- "true" ND 0.6, 0.9, 1.8 and 3.0 filters. Even one or two would be better than none. A typical Moon filter is 15% transmission and 0.6 is 25% transmission, so higher numbers are more desirable to me.
If you can help me out, PM me. I'm not in a huge rush to do this, but it is one of those little projects I'd like to get done someday.


Pastéis de Belém is a traditional Portuguese cream pastry that came about in the nineteenth century during the liberal revolution when all of the convents and monasteries in Portugal were shut down. In an attempt to survive, someone who once worked at the monetary made these treats to sell them in the shop.
Belém, the originating town, is a bit outside of Lisbon, but visitors often came by boat to see the grandeur of the monastery and the Torre de Belém. Tourists became used to savoring these tasty treats during their visit, and it slowly became a staple of the area.
The original secret recipe has gone unchanged since the start and has been passed down only to the master confectioners, to be enjoyed by thousands of visitors to Belém each year.

Q: How to use switch and case for strings Based on an answer of the following question:  How do I transform an IF statement with 2 variables onto a switch function using C?
I want to develop SWITCH and CASE macros to use it (like switch and case) for strings.
Some thing like that:
char buf[256];

SWITCH (buf) {
    CASE ("abcdef"):
        printf ("A1!\n");
        BREAK;
    CASE ("ghijkl"):
        printf ("B1!\n");
        BREAK;
    DEFAULT:
        printf ("D1!\n");
        BREAK;
}

what could be SWITCH and CASE and BREAK and DEFAULT here ?

A: If you really want it, well, here it is:
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
const char *kludge;
#define evilmacro(line) label##line
#define fakelabel(line) evilmacro(line)
#define SWITCH(str) while((kludge = (str)))
#define CASE(str) if(strcmp(kludge, str) == 0) { fakelabel(__LINE__)
#define BREAK break; /* out of while loop */ }
#define DEFAULT if(1) { fakelabel(__LINE__)
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
SWITCH (argv[1]) {
    CASE ("abcdef"):
        printf ("A1!\n");
        BREAK;
    CASE ("ghijkl"):
        printf ("B1!\n");
        BREAK;
    DEFAULT:
        printf ("D1!\n");
        BREAK;
}
return 0;
}

Getting rid of the unused labels is left as an exercise for the reader :)
EDIT: fwiw, what I would really do is table driven code.

A: #include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#define SWITCH(S) char *_S = S; if (0)
#define CASE(S) } else if (strcmp(_S, S) == 0) {switch(1) { case 1
#define BREAK }
#define DEFAULT } else {switch(1) { case 1

int main()
{
    char buf[256];

    printf("\nString - Enter your string: ");
    scanf ("%s", buf);

    SWITCH (buf) {
        CASE ("abcdef"):
            printf ("B1!\n");
            BREAK;
        CASE ("ghijkl"):
            printf ("C1!\n");
            BREAK;
        DEFAULT:
            printf ("D1!\n");
            BREAK;
    }
}

EACEA publishes selection results of the support to literary translation projects 2018
The main objectives of the support for literary translation projects, granted by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) of the European Union, were to support cultural and linguistic diversity; to strengthen the transnational circulation and diversity of high quality literary works in the long term; to improve access to these literary works in the EU and beyond as all neighbourhood countries have been included, and to reach new audiences for European translated literature. The call for translation projects recognized the need to support the promotion of European translated literature and encourage the translations from lesser used languages into English, German, French and Spanish as these may contribute to a wider circulation of the works. EACEA paid special attention to encouraging the translation of less represented genres such as works for a younger public (children, adolescents and young adult), comics/graphic novels, short stories or poetry, be it through the appropriate use of digital technologies in both the distribution and promotion of the works.
CEATL particularly appreciates the efforts to raise translators' profiles through the requirement of including their biography in each supported book. Encouragement of the translation and promotion of books which have won the EU Prize for Literature is also welcome, although including their translation into (one of) the four big languages as part of the award might be given consideration.
Out of 130 applications from 32 countries, 372 book translations within 46 two-year projects proposed by 18 countries have been supported by the total sum of 2,421,506.26 EUR.
Out of 21 applications from 10 countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, and United Kingdom), 147 book translations within 15 proposed Framework Partnership Agreements by the listed countries have been supported by the total sum of 1,147,236.76 EUR.
CEATL welcomes the fostering of this vital means of European understanding. At the same time, our umbrella organisation would like to emphasize the need for support for translators, and hopes that the poor practice of double contracts becomes a thing of the past.
The results can be studied here (https://eacea NULL.ec NULL.europa NULL.eu/creative-europe/actions/selection-results/support-literary-translation-projects-2018_en).

What Is Cloud Telephony In 2023?
By Tech Cults
Benefiting from cloud telephony in 2023 means bringing your telecommunications to the digital age. Indeed, this VoIP telephony solution is revolutionizing the sector. All calls go through the web only through software and hosting under remote servers.
These calls then no longer go through a traditional switched telephone network. This technology transforms the voice into electrical signals, which are returned in the form of data instantly and with high quality. Discover all the trends in cloud telephony in this article.
A SaaS Telephone Solution
Cloud Telephony At The Service Of Business Flexibility
Integrating IP Telephony Into A CRM
VoIP Telephony And Productivity
In the case of a SaaS telephony solution, the telephony software is hosted and made available on the Internet. Concretely, for a company, there is no longer any need to install specific infrastructures. However, this makes it possible to avoid a substantial investment, especially since PBX infrastructures require maintenance costs.
Instead of addressing multiple interlocutors, only one is its SaaS provider. The dedicated software is quickly installed and configured and operates intuitively without prior technical knowledge. Cloud telephony for businesses saves money and simplifies switchboard use.
Savings are also made on the cost of calls.
Analog telephony often includes additional fees, especially for international calls. As the rings are made over the Internet, these additional costs are non-existent, whether you are calling a local or international number. This transparency makes it possible to know precisely the price of its telecommunications without unpleasant surprises.
Using dematerialized telephony means freeing yourself from the physical network and, therefore, from managing this service internally. All incoming and outgoing calls pass through VoIP. Only your quality internet connection is enough to benefit from it. In this case, the company gains flexibility.
There is no longer any need for the employee to be in a fixed position on the company's premises. Cloud telephony is ideally suited to telecommuting or business travel. The software is available on all connected media, such as smartphones or tablets. The dedicated app allows you to work from anywhere. This is a solution for the future that supports employee mobility.
A considerable advantage of cloud telephony is the integration with a CRM. Thanks to computer-telephony integration ( CTI ), connecting the telephony system to all its professional tools is simple. This allows all tasks to be synchronized in one place, saving time. All calls are recorded directly on the CRM. New contacts are automatically added to the software. This enriches customer information and makes teams more efficient.
Note-taking is possible directly in the interface and thus improves customer follow-up. Each user has all the information in view during the call. This avoids making interlocutors wait and improves their satisfaction. Thanks to VoIP telephony, 60 business tools can be integrated on a turnkey basis. However, using APIs to integrate business telephony with CRM is no problem.
Cloud telephony appears to be a solution that promotes productivity. Indeed, the integration with the CRM gathers all the information within the same interface. This undeniably makes the difference with an analog telephone switchboard. But other features also save time. A cascading PLC can also launch these calls. Associated with a tag, these are contextualized and classified in the tool's dashboard as in the CRM.
A salesperson's work, like that of customer service, is facilitated by these functions: handling more calls is possible in less time. There are also fewer dropped calls. Dialing a number in one click may only make a difference of a few seconds, but their addition over a working day is not negligible. Cloud telephony in 2023 marks a digital revolution in corporate telecommunications.
With the ease of implementation and use, VoIP offers an innovative solution adapted to the requirements of today's businesses. Without investing too much, each company can find features to improve its customer or commercial service.
From the user's point of view, the single interface, integrated with CRMs and productivity applications, makes for greater efficiency. From the point of view of the interlocutor, the experience is more satisfying, thanks to the data shared between the teams. Regarding the cost of a virtual switchboard, it is accessible to all companies thanks to internet hosting, which does not include any additional cost.

Diabetes: 1 in 5 US adolescents is now prediabetic, study says
By artappraiser on Mon, 12/02/2019 - 7:07pm |
By Michael Nedelman @ CNN via MSN.com, 7 hrs. ago
Nearly a quarter of young adults and a fifth of adolescents in the United States have prediabetes, according to a study published Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. Prediabetes -- a condition wherein blood sugar levels are elevated, but not high enough to warrant a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes -- was estimated at 18% among adolescents ages 12 to 18, and 24% among young adults ages 19 to 34.
Experts say these numbers have risen over the past decade, putting young people at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and other conditions down the line."Until recently, young children and teens almost never got type 2 diabetes, which is why it used to be called adult-onset diabetes," says the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where most of the new study's authors are affiliated. "Now, about one-third of American youth are overweight, a problem closely related to the increase in kids with type 2 diabetes, some as young as 10 years old."
Analyzing nearly 5,800 individuals included in a national health survey from 2005 to 2016, the study authors found that "the prevalence of prediabetes in male individuals was almost twice that in female individuals" [....]

Crap science? Fewer than 2% progress to full diabetes each year, and methods to "treat" "pre-diabetes" seem ineffective.

Thank you, I was suspicious. Definitely thought it newsworthy, however, in that it will effect many for good or ill. Whatever the heck they are actually measuring here--the true meaning I have no doubt be revealed a decade or more down the road--it is interesting that they found it much more prominently in males than females.
Take it from experience patient arta who has heard the truth from top docs: the practice of endocrinology is in its infancy, that is: THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND SHIT ABOUT HUMAN HORMONES, how they work and what they do.
Okay boomer bonus anecdotals: I remember when there was only one kind of cholesterol and it caused heart disease.
I also remember in the mid 60's when my father was diagnosed as pre-diabetic and was told not to eat any sugar at which we commenced at finding him sweet treats without added sugar for several years. Then all of a sudden that was nonsense and he could eat sugar again. He ate a lot of sweets and stayed trim his whole life to his early 90's and never developed diabetes. My overweight mother (weight gained and never lost, I am convinced, with every childbirth.--I amm the oldest and saw her bear the others and saw everything she ate which was not that much--so: HORMONES--she was was tortured to death in her mid-70's by 13 years of complications of type 2 diabetes.

P.S. And lordy, after a couple years struggle trying to find a doctor knowledgeable enough to fine tune my hormone replacement therapy, and giving up to DIY fiddling with an obliging OB/GYN, I just gotta say: all those trans people getting endocrinological "help" these days to have their body match their mind? BEWARE folks, they don't know what they're doing, you are all guinea pigs. To quote head of Endocrinology at Mt. Sinai to me: well, we don't really know what normal levels of many of those sex-related hormones should be
And another thing: seems like 90% of endocrinologists these days specialize in "diabetes" and don't bother with any of those other supposedly unrelated hormones. This enquiring mind wonders: which is the chicken and which is the egg? Did the massive growth in diabetes diagnoses come first, or the huge number of endocrinologists who are prone to diagnose it come first?
Gotta keep docs working. Low hanging fruits...
So there is a plot operating out in the open to falsely diagnose patients with diabetes in the United States?
A Growing Shortage of Endocrinologists
Currently, fewer than 6500 endocrinologists in the United States are available to care for the millions of patients who suffer from diabetes, thyroid disease, osteoporosis, and other hormonal conditions. Although this shortage has many contributing factors, poor compensation is a key driving force.
As seen in the 2017 Medscape Endocrinologist Compensation Report, compensation for endocrinologists is the lowest of any internal medicine specialty and is even lower than that of internists with no specialty training. It is ironic that the three additional years of training to become an endocrinologist are rewarded with a $5000 salary reduction

Sorry, not buying, I think that's spin of two years ago
I googled, here's the ads that come up first for me, tailored to my locality cookies, of course
Salary Estimates
Salary.com
$209k–364kper year
Cry me a river.
And here's the AMA in late 2018 on where the real dearth of practitioners and the main problem is:
The lowest-paying specialties were in the primary care fields, with internal medicine ($230,00), family medicine ($219,000) and pediatrics ($212,000) being listed among the bottom five specialties in annual compensation.
Actually, dentists with an advanced specialty degrees are actually the ones raking in the big dough right now, not M.D.s except for like plastic and orthopedic surgeons. M.D.'s in general have had a big awakening since Obamacare, about lifetime income expectations, leaving private practice in droves--seeing little profit with tons of paperwork, and joining corps. and conglomerates where they are salaried. If you want big money, you go periodontist where there's no rules and no bargaining with United Health or Humana...
Ever hear of capitation? Not making enough money, doc? See more patients in the same amount of time. Throw the simplest diagnosis code at em and follow the protocol and get paid, just that simple. Especially poor folk with the Medicaid insurance, got to crank out more to make the same. No time to figure out what their real problem is, and nice thing about it, you scare them into eating healthier and lowering their b.p., no one is going to sue you for that.

Black Americans Deeply Pessimistic

President Trump made a stark appeal to black Americans during the 2016 election when he asked, "What have you got to lose?" Three years later, black Americans have rendered their verdict on his presidency with a deeply pessimistic assessment of their place in the United States under a leader seen by an overwhelming majority as racist.

GAO: Trump Violated the Law By Withholding Ukraine Funding
submitted by rmrd0000 1 day ago
The Trump administration violated the law by withholding military aid to Ukraine, the U.S. Government Accountability Office said in a decision released Thursday.
"Faithful execution of the law does not permit the President to substitute his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law," the government watchdog said. "OMB withheld funds for a policy reason, which is not permitted under the Impoundment Control Act (ICA). The withholding was not a programmatic delay. Therefore, we conclude that OMB violated the ICA."

Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) naming of impeachment mangers is triggering machinery in the Senate that will result in an impeachment trial.
Senators and aides say it will take several days for opening arguments to begin because the presiding officer, Chief Justice John Roberts, needs to be summoned, senators need to be sworn in as jurors and Trump's defense team needs to be notified and given a chance to respond.

5 tips for talking about money with your partner
Talking about money with your partner isn't always easy.
The thought of sharing what we spend money on and how much we spend can make us anxious.
But experts agree that it's important to find healthy ways to 'talk money' in a relationship in order to build trust.
In the early stages of a relationship
When a relationship is just beginning, your discussions about money may be limited to who's going to pay for a meal, a night out or a short break.
At this stage, your finances are still separate, you have your own individual ways of managing your money and joint expenses are minimal.
Clodagh is in her 20s and although she's seeing someone she says they are not in a long-term relationship.
'Right now I'm like what's mine is mine and what's yours is yours. I'd feel that way even if he made 10 times what I made,' she says.
When it becomes a long-term relationship
When a relationship becomes more long-term, it's time to have an open chat about how much you both earn and how you manage your finances.
Elaine and her boyfriend live in their separate family homes and hope to save for a deposit. They've been together long enough now to discover that they have very different attitudes to money.
'He's really good at saving,' she says. 'I think he gets a thrill out of looking at his account and having money in it whereas if I see money I think how can I spend it?'
It's very common to discover that your partner thinks and feels about money differently.
Tip 1: Respect your differences and talk things through to agree rules for spending and saving.
When you're both saving for a common goal
Regular money chats are a good way to decide what your joint goals are and to agree a plan to get there.
Grainne and her boyfriend lived together while they were abroad and since coming moving home to Ireland have started saving for a deposit for a mortgage.
'I look after everything moneywise,' Grainne says. When they were abroad she discovered that her partner 'wasn't great with money' and he sometimes didn't have his half of the rent when it was due.
'So we decided we'd have a joint account and I'd be the one to manage the day-to-day money,' Grainne says.
It's quite common for a couple to decide that one partner manages the money according to rules that both of them agree on.
Grainne and her boyfriend decide on a set amount each week that they will spend separately.
'Our salaries go into the joint account. We try to live off just the one salary because we're saving for a mortgage. Then we save the other salary in an account that it's hard to get the money out of.'
Tip 2: Jointly agree your goals and decide who's going to manage the day-to-day expenses.
After a break-up
Ellen is in her 30s and broke up with her long-term boyfriend a couple of years ago.
'For the majority of the time he earned a lot more than I did and he handled all the finances. I was still putting my half of the rent into his account but I never saw the bills.'
There didn't appear to be any need to chat about money as her boyfriend seemed to have plenty of money coming in.
But things changed when her boyfriend lost his job and Ellen took over the role of managing the money.
'I spent all of the money I earned just trying to keep the rent and the other bills paid and to buy food.' She also gave some of her salary to her boyfriend for his own personal use.
However, she then discovered that her partner was addicted to gambling and had run up debts with out her knowledge.
The couple broke up and Ellen's partner never repaid the money she had lent him.
'I will never rely on anyone like that again,' she says.
Unfortunately, it's not unknown for people to hide an account, a credit card or even a debt from their partner.
Tip 3: Be honest, make sure you both have sight of your joint expenses and review them regularly.
When you get married
Orla got married last year and she and her husband bought their first home.
She manages the household finances. 'I just don't think it'd come into his brain to do it,' she says.
The couple have a joint account and every month they each put a money into it from their salaries to pay the mortgage, utility bills, groceries etc.
But they also have their own personal accounts and can spend what's left of their salaries as they choose.
Orla says that she doesn't know exactly how her husband organises his own personal money (and he doesn't have sight of what she spends hers on) but that's up to him.
With the household expenses covered she trusts him.
Having a joint account for household expenses and separate personal accounts works well for some couples giving each partner a bit of independence and privacy as well as joint commitment.
Tip 4: Decide whether you want a joint account for all your shared bills and agree how it will work.
Brid is married with children and jointly manages household expenses with her husband.
'My salary goes into my account, he gets paid into his account and then we both feed into our joint account,' she explains. 'The money in the joint account covers the cost of the mortgage and all household expenses plus groceries.'
It's not unusual for one partner to earn more than the other and, in Brid's case, her husband earns a lot more than she does.
Because of this they have agreed that he should contribute more to their joint account than she does each month.
When it comes to spending on their kids, Brid is the one who buys what they need so she spends it out of the joint account.
In contrast, her husband tends to use his personal account to pay for occasional expenses. It's a practical way to manage the difference in their incomes.
Tip 5: Talk through how you might manage things if one of you earns a lot more than the other.
Every couple is different and there are many ways to manage money in a relationship.
Remember, whatever you decide, be clear about your financial goals, honest about your income and expenses and review your money regularly.
