The main emphasis of the "Environmental Nanogroups" at RCPTM has been the design and development of advanced nanomaterials and technologies for the applications in environmental chemistry including sustainable applications in catalysis. Presently, our group is working on three major areas: 1) Earth-abundant materials for environmental applications, 2) benign catalytic applications and 3) photo- and electrochemical applications. The first area encompasses the development of iron-based species (namely zero-valent iron, ferrates etc.), for the environmental applications including water purification by removal of toxic materials, investigation of ecotoxicity of metal-based nanoparticles etc. The second area focusses on the catalytic applications of metal, metal-oxide, carbon-based nanomaterials for important organic transformations. In this category, our progress in the field of iron-oxide supported catalytic systems offers unique advantages of high recyclability and magnetic separations, thereby making such processes more environmentally friendly as well as economical. In addition, our recently installed state-of-the-art microwave and "Flow reactor" also contributes significantly in enhancing the productivity of the group. Finally, the recent upsurge in the field of photo- and electro-chemistry particularly for their energy-related applications including solar cells, electrocatalysis etc. have also prompted us to be a part of this endeavor and we have been engaged in developing novel materials to be applied in photo- and electrochemical applications.
As these areas are quite inter-related, given the strength of our group members with different expertise, we have also been continuing our successful collaboration not only within the groups, but also outside the group (both at academic as well as industrial levels).

wanted to use the Palace Theater in Hamilton for the session. She contacted the owners and they said yes! We met there for the consultation. I took tons of notes and quickly became super excited. It's not often I have the opportunity to shoot in such a unique location.
Jake plays saxophone, so of course we had to include it in the session. We enlisted the help of one of the theater's employees to run the spot lights, and started our session on the big stage.
I can't say I have ever used a theater spot light in a photo session, and hardly knew what to expect. It was actually easier than I anticipated, so I decided to "go big or go home" and had our lighting guy place a green gel over the spot light (green is Jake's school color). We ended up with my absolute favorite shots of the night.
You can't tell from the finished product, but Jake was not totally comfortable with being an impromptu fashion model. While he felt at home in the suit, he did not feel at home on the wide stage. It took a lot of directing to get him to hit the poses, but after a while, I think he got the hang of it. He may have felt a little silly at times, but he took it all in stride, was able to laugh, and pulled it off. I just hope he sees what I see when I look at these portraits. I see a cool, good looking guy with more confidence than he knows he has.
Once we were done having fun with spot lights, we moved the session upstairs to the bar area. At this point, I was pumped up and Jake was probably humoring me more than he should have. His mom was just laughing at my craziness. I sat Jake at one of the bar tables and asked if there were any rocks glasses behind the bar. We put water in it to look like vodka. I think I forgot for a few minutes that Jake is only seventeen. The scene just didn't look complete without a drink!
We made some jokes about the "vodka" and moved over to the bar where there was some really cool hanging lights. I struggled a little here trying to light Jake's face. The way the bar curved and the space that we were in just didn't allow me to put my softbox in the spot I wanted it to be. After moving it several times with no improvement, I decided to just go with it. In the meantime, Jake was talking with his mom, sister, and the theater employee and laughing. I realized I had to stop messing around with the lights and capture some real smiles. Oh, and I also realized these were supposed to be for a high school yearbook and took his glass of fake vodka away.
Track lighting on stairs...coolest thing ever. That's really all I need to say about that.
During the consultation, we ventured down to the basement level of the theater to check it out. When I saw the bathrooms I almost had a heart attack at how cool they were. I instantly had a vision of Jake in his suit, tie loosened, hat off, leaning over the sink, looking in the mirror, exhausted at the end of a hard day. I HAD to do this shot. We talked about it and there were jokes and laughing. I don't think Jake realized that I fully intended on making him do this. If he had said no, I may have cried. Not on the spot, but later, at home. So at the end of the session, we went down to the bathrooms and Jake looked at me like, "You're really going to make me do this"? I had a VISION! I'm so glad he knows how to laugh at himself. Two of the three bathroom shots made it on to their favorites list in their viewing gallery, so I'd say it was worth it.
This session really brought me back to my days as a photography student, experimenting with lighting and working with fashion models. I absolutely love working with children and families, but there's a part of me that misses creating dark, moody images. With most sessions, I live in the moment and try to shoot based on instinct and emotions between family members. There's not much room for experimenting and vision when you're working with a toddler! Jake and Faith inspired me in a way that I haven't felt in a long time. I am so thankful that Faith put her faith in me for her son's unique senior portraits, and I am so thankful that Jake humored me with a smile. I can't wait to see what ideas Faith dreams up with her other two kids when the time comes!


A fire in a Bangladeshi garment factory that killed 112 workers last weekend prompted massive protests in the capital city of Dhaka for three days this week.
Ken Lewenza and Dave Coles were clear. They want to build a new union so that Canada can become a different country, one where working people are respected, and the most vulnerable among us protected.
CEP local union leaders and members taking part in the union's convention this week in Québec City have voted in favour of forming a new union with the CAW.
It is austerity Canadian style, death by a thousand wage freezes. But the real question is how has labour and the left ceded the crisis narrative?
McGuinty and Hudak are now teaming up to take away constitutionally protected rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms from education workers in Ontario.
Canadians don't need any more politicians who want to further undermine collective bargaining rights or the notion that workers deserve some say over their working conditions.
More than 1,200 unionists from every corner of the globe are meeting in Copenhagen to form IndustriALL Global Union, representing 50 million workers in 140 countries.

Description: The treatment of adult trauma patients within an evidence-based system of care has been a tenet following the advent of trauma centers in the 1960's. Pediatric trauma centers followed soon after. Similar methods of triage and a systems approach to injuries apply to both populations. However, differences in anatomy, pathophysiology, and injury patterns can lead to delays in definitive care and increased morbidity. Using a case-based approach, the presenters will illustrate the need for EMS medical directors to bring pediatric trauma patient disposition to the same level of performance as adult standards.
Use their knowledge of field triage guidelines to revise pediatric transportation determination procedures.
Identify training opportunities to educate providers under their direction to reliably recognize emergent vs non-emergent pediatric trauma patients.

Home World news I won this election – president Trump insists
I won this election – president Trump insists
President of the United States of America Donald Trump has insisted that he won the 2020 presidential election.
The US President shared series of tweets on Saturday November 7, in which he made unsubstantiated allegations of illegality in the voting process – all of which were labelled as disputed and potentially misleading by Twitter. He also insisted he had won the election "by a lot".
Trump tweeted;
I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!
CNN also reported that sources in the White House have disclosed that the President said he won't be accepting the election result. They also disclosed that he will be challenging the election result in court from Monday November 9.
Biden won the presidential election by clinching Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes, after several days of painstaking vote counting following record turnout across the country. The win in Pennsylvania, which the Associated Press called at 11:25am EST on Saturday with 99% of the votes counted, took Biden's electoral college vote to 284, surpassing the 270 needed to win the White House.

Female Navy SEALs: 5 Things You (probably) Didn't Know
Posted on Last Updated: June 12, 2021 June 12, 2021 Author Rob V. Comment(0) 11282 Views
In 2015, the Defense Secretary signed a directive to open all military jobs to women regardless of the level of danger those jobs possessed, and this directive includes female Navy SEALs.
Beginning in 2016, women have the opportunity to receive an invitation to attend the SEAL training pipeline.
Since then, 5 women received an invite to attend, and three women stepped up to attend SEAL training.
With that said, as of June 2021 there are no female Navy SEALs. Why is that, exactly?

5. What Do Current Navy SEALs Think Of Women Joining The Teams?
The Navy SEALs got their start during World War II, officially known as the 'scouts and raiders'.
With that said, it was not until the 1960s when the SEALs were formally founded.
During World War II, a group of Navy and Army service members worked together to recon beaches and help guide assault waves while landing.
Over the years, the group continued its operations on special missions.
The official beginnings of the SEALs happened during the Vietnam War when President Kennedy realized we needed unconventional warfare to ensure success.
Today there are 10 active SEAL teams, and each team has over 200 service members, including those who support the SEALs.
It was not until June of 1948 where women could join the Navy as regular service members. Before 1948, women primarily worked as nurses and in administration.
It was not until the 1970s where women began to take on leadership roles and into aviation.
However, there was what was called the 'risk rule' that made combat roles off-limits to women.
It was in the 1990s when women had access to direct combat roles except for submarines.
With that said, the submarine rule changed in 2010.
In 2016, the Department of Defense opened all military positions to women with no exceptions. From this point forward, women have the right to attempt the SEAL program.
The standards for female Navy SEAL trainees are the same as males. There are no special considerations due to physical ability or limitations, which is a good thing.
All potential SEALs begin with Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training (BUD/S).
BUD/S is a place to weed out those that don't have what it takes, or wouldn't make good Navy SEALs to begin with.
To get into BUD/S, one needs to take the physical screening test, or PST.
Here are the events and minimum (and competitive) standards for enlisted and officers:
500 Yard Swim - Side / Breast Stroke 12:30 9:30 or better
Push Ups 50 75+
Curl Ups 50 75+
Pull Ups 10 15+
1.5 Mile Run 10:30 9:30 or better
500 Yard Swim - Side / Breast Stroke 12:30 8:25
Push Ups 50 98
Curl Ups 50 91
Pull Ups 10 21
1.5 Mile Run 10:30 8:59
Also, the success during the pipeline of training is not just about physical ability. Plenty of physically capable candidates cannot handle the mental stress and strain of training.
Again, the standards for male and female Navy SEALs are the same throughout the process.
Those who survive BUD/S move onto SEAL Qualification Training, or SQT.
SQT is a 26-week course designed to get you fully prepped for life in the SEAL teams.
Upon completion of SQT, the candidate will then become a full-fledged Navy SEAL, and be assigned to either a SEAL team or SDV team.

As of today, we do not have any female Navy SEALs. However, a woman did complete the SEAL Officer Assessment & Selection (SOAS) Program in 2019.
With that said, she went through the selection process and did not list SEAL as her first choice for military service.
Instead, she received the assignment of her first choice, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD).
Also, other women did receive an invite to attend the SEAL pipeline.
Three women made it to SOAS, but so far, only one female has successfully completed the SOAS program.
As we mentioned earlier, she did not 'class up' with a BUD/S class and attempt to become a SEAL.
The odds of successfully completing SEALS training are not in anyone's favor, no matter their gender.
Also, the Navy has no intention of altering the training to accommodate candidates' abilities. Therefore, women go through the same training as men.
The qualifications for age, eyesight, and ASVAB score are the same for men and women.
With all of that said, I would be remiss to not point out the fact that there are big differences between the genders when it comes to physical and athletic ability.
There's a reason why we have a WNBA instead of women playing in the NBA…
There's a reason why we have separate Men's and Women's track and field teams in the Olympics…
There's a reason why there are separate divisions in the UFC for both males and females…
I could go on and on, but I think you get the point.
When it comes to Navy SEALs, or Special Operations in general, this disparity in physical ability presents the same problems.
The difference is, pushing for women to join the SEALs could get someone hurt, or possibly even killed.
It's a high stakes game that should not be 'experimented' with…
By and large, active duty and retired SEALs seem to be overwhelmingly against the idea of allowing women to become Navy SEALs.
From the interviews I've watched on Youtube or read on various forums, it appears that the ones that think it's a good idea tend to be on the younger side (i.e. 'Millennials'), while the ones rejecting the idea are part of the old guard.
With that said, nearly all agree that the standards should not be lowered for women.
If they were, it would have a negative impact on the teams in general, making them less effective as a fighting force.
In my personal opinion, every decision the US Military makes should boil down to one simple question:
Does this make us a more effective fighting force or not?
If it does, I say go for it. If it does NOT, it should be discarded and possibly revisited down the road.
So far, only a handful of women took on the challenge of the SEAL training pipeline to be female Navy SEALs.
To date, only one woman found success in completing the initial training.
However, she opted not to join the SEALS. Instead, she received her first choice of assignment post-training.
The Department of Defense opened combat roles to women in 2015, so since 2016, women can apply as a candidate.
SEAL training is a challenge no matter the gender. The SEALS are currently all men, and on average only 20% of candidates successfully complete the grueling training.
The Navy is not likely to ever change the physical and mental requirements for women who attempt the training.
Is it possible that we'll see a female Navy SEAL in the future?
Unlikely, but anything is possible!
Note: If any SEALs are reading this (which I know some are), tell us why you think there should (or shouldn't) be female Navy SEALs.

Montgomery County weighs cost, benefit of public safety land buy
Jimmy Settle
Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Montgomery County commissioners will spend a week weighing the cost versus benefits of a proposed Dotsonville-area property purchase for a public safety training complex.
Sheriff John Fuson, flanked by county Emergency Medical Services Chief Jimmie Edwards and county Emergency Management Agency Director Jerry Buchanan, brought the proposal for the 326-acre land buy before commissioners in monthly informal session Monday night.
They may cast a vote on the projected $1.9 million purchase next Monday, 6 p.m., in formal session at the courthouse.
"I think it would be a huge step forward for us, to be able to acquire this for Montgomery County," Fuson said.
The property at 2275 Dotsonville Road best fits all of the criteria that area public safety leaders have been searching for in a training site, including location, cost and topographical layout.
The site for the joint public safety training complex comes at a relatively affordable $5,800 an acre, Fuson said.
The sheriff reiterated Monday that the county has no such facility and most training for the public safety agencies happens outside the county.
He added that he had been looking for suitable property for more than two years, and what has been available had price tags in the neighborhood of $14,000 per acre.
The large tract in the Dotsonville area comes with various buildings including an insulated and refinished barn that could serve a multitude of purposes for the local agencies, Fuson, Edwards and Buchanan said Monday.
One existing structure used as an airplane hangar could be utilized for training right away, while other facilities, ranges or specific training structures could be developed over time.
The sheriff reiterated that, such a facility would actually save money because the county now pays for travel and lodging at out-of-county training. Additionally, the complex could generate revenue as other public safety agencies in the region would possibly pay for use of the facilities.
The pricetag of $1.9 million comes with the option of reducing the tract by 45 acres where a house sits, and that would lower the cost to $1.65 million.
But Fuson and County Mayor Jim Durrett said building new structures on the site would ultimately be more costly than paying existing full price and making creative use of what's already there.

Le Chipounov 2A42, est un canon automatique de  soviétique. Il est fabriqué à l'origine par la Tulamashzavod Joint Stock Company depuis les années 1970.

Conception
Le canon automatique de  2A42 fut développé en remplacement du canon 2A28 Grom et il comporte une double alimentation. L'une est pour les munitions HE-T et l'autre pour les munitions AP-T. Le tireur peut sélectionner l'une des deux cadences de tir entièrement automatique, faible (200 à 300 tours par minute) et élevé (550 à 800 tr/min). Selon le fabricant, la portée efficace lors de l'engagement de cibles au sol telles que les véhicules blindés légers est de  tandis que les cibles à blindage léger peuvent être engagées jusqu'à . Les cibles aériennes peuvent être engagées à basse altitude, jusqu'à  à des vitesses subsoniques allant jusqu'à . En plus d'être installé sur une tourelle pour deux personnes sur le véhicule de combat d'infanterie mécanisé BMP-2, ce canon peut également être installé sur le véhicule de combat aéroporté BMD-2, le véhicule de combat aéroporté BMD-3 et le transport de troupes blindé BTR-90 (ou GAZ-5923). Un petit nombre de ces canon a été mis en service. Plus récemment, le canon de  2A42 fut installé sur une nouvelle tourelle et monté sur le toit du véhicule blindé lourd BTR-T (sur la base d'un châssis MBT T-54 / T-55 modifié). Le canon est également l'armement principal du BMPT (Véhicule d'appui anti-chars). Il est également utilisé pour divers projets d'armement de différents fabricants. Le bureau d'études du canon de  2A42 est le KBP Instrument Design Bureau.

Le canon automatique 2A42 fut également utilisé sur le BMPT et le Bumerang-BM, ainsi que sur les tourelles de station d'armes télécommandées sans pilote sur les nouveaux véhicules de combat d'infanterie russes, Kurganets-25, VPK-7829 Bumerang et T-15 Armata.

Russie - Tulamashzavod
Bulgarie - Arsenal
Inde - Indian Ordance Factory
Slovaquie - ZTS
Ukraine - Precision Mechanics Plant

Variantes
 2A42 - version standard.

Variante improvisée
Lors de la guerre Russo-Ukrainienne de 2022 les forces Ukrainiennes ont été repréré en train d'utiliser un canon Chipounov 2A42 modifié pour être utilisé par de l'infanterie sans véhicule.

Munitions
Le 2A42 tire des munitions , une munition introduite dans les années 1970 en Union soviétique pour remplacer les précédentes munitions de  pour canon automatique. Les autres armes utilisant ce type de munitions comprennent les canons automatiques 2A38, 2A38M et 2A72 conçus pour divers modèles de véhicules, d'hélicoptères et de systèmes de défense aérienne ou marins à un, deux ou six canons. Les munitions des 2A42, 2A38, 2A38M et 2A72 sont amorcées par percussion ; les canons marins et aériens utilisent quant à eux un amorçage électrique et leurs munitions ne sont donc pas interchangeables avec les munitions terrestres, malgré le même calibre.

À l'origine, trois types de munitions de base ont été développés en Union soviétique pour les armes terrestres: incendiaire hautement explosif, à fragmentation hautement explosive avec traceur et balistique perforante avec traceur. Plus tard, un obus perforant de calibre inférieur fut introduit. Aujourd'hui, des pays autres que l'Union soviétique fabriquent des munitions à percussion 30 × 165. Les principaux types de munitions sont résumés dans le tableau ci-dessous:

Rethinking the EU's approach Towards its Southern Neighbours
Scazzieri, Luigi
CER Policy Brief
The EU's stated objective is to promote prosperity, stability and security in neighbouring countries in the Middle East and North Africa. But in practice, it has had little success on all three counts. The EU's southern neighbours remain stuck in a middle-income trap, and many are more unstable than they were ten years ago. The EU should make the countries in its southern neighbourhood a more ambitious offer: deeper market access, more opportunities for their citizens to work in Europe and more financial and technical assistance. The EU should also develop an associate membership model for democratic countries in the region that would be eligible for membership were it not for their geographic location. At the same time, the Union should target its financial assistance more strategically, pushing countries to respect human rights and align with its foreign policy goals, and reducing support if they refuse.

18 and Counting: Huskies Topple Pride, 10–3
Milton Posner May 12, 2021 5 min read
File photo by Sadie Parker
By Milton Posner
What seemed in the early stages like another Northeastern blowout, then like a war of bullpen attrition as Hofstra made a late-inning rally, wound up being another Northeastern blowout after all.
A 10–3 win boosted the Huskies to a 16–0 conference record (28–6 overall) and extended their win streak to 18 games, the longest in the nation. That conference start, the best in CAA history, has afforded the Huskies an eight-game division lead; although pandemic schedules are subject to last-minute change, Northeastern has likely clinched first place already.
The nature of the game begot unorthodox substitution patterns. The Huskies and Pride were just three games removed from the capper of their four-game weekend series, and both have four-game series beginning in two days. (Milton Posner and Catherine Morrison will call Northeastern's Friday, Saturday, and Sunday games live for WRBB.)
The Huskies answered the time squeeze with a planned bullpen day. Brian Rodriguez started for the first time all season after 11 appearances out of the pen, ceding a hit and a walk in three scoreless innings.
"Brian has started for us in years past. He had enough rest from the weekend, so it was an easy decision," Northeastern head coach Mike Glavine explained. "We really wanted to win that first inning and keep the momentum on our side. I thought he did awesome — pounded the strike zone, pitched really well. I didn't know how many innings he was going to give us; I just told him to go out and see how it went."
Thomas Balboni, James Quinlivan, Owen Langan, Jake Gigliotti, David Stiehl, Eric Yost, and Brandon Dufault combined to forfeit just three runs the rest of the way. It was the second-most pitchers Glavine has used in a game this season, equaling the 11–2 win over UMass on March 3 (eight pitchers) and trailing only the 11–1 win over UMass on 4/7 (nine). Glavine confirmed that everyone is expected to be available for Friday's game, save for Rodriguez.
Hofstra used a healthy six pitchers themselves, but it appeared to be a lot less deliberate. Starter Jack Jett — who had tossed six or more innings in six of his eight starts this season — exited the game without recording an out. Five days after the Huskies tagged him for seven runs on ten hits, they tagged him again. But this time, they didn't need as many hits.
Jeff Costello and Scott Holzwasser walked to open the game. When they attempted a double steal on ball four to Jared Dupere, third baseman Ryan Morash couldn't handle catcher Nick Marrero's throw, allowing Costello to score. A Max Viera double cashed in Holzwasser and chased Jett from the game.
"That's their Friday starter; he just pitched against us the other day," Glavine noted. "They were probably thinking the same thing we were — wanting to win the first inning and get the momentum. So they gave it to one of their best starters."
Michael O'Hanlon was first out of the pen for the Pride, and though he retired the side in order, back-to-back sacrifice flies from Danny Crossen and Ben Malgeri completed an odd Husky inning: four runs on just one hit, with no runners stranded.
"It might have been our best offensive inning of the whole year," Glavine said. "Our guys really grinded out at-bats. We got to two strikes a couple of times but they couldn't put us away. We really made [Jett] work."
From then on, the Pride were left to play the same sort of bullpen game the Huskies did. And though O'Hanlon, Chris Mott, and Tristan Nemjo allowed just three combined hits in six innings of work, they still forfeited three runs to the Huskies. It was only in the ninth inning that the Huskies scored by stringing hits together. All told, the Huskies produced 10 runs on the afternoon using ten hits (including four doubles, two from Max Viera), six walks, six stolen bases in six tries, and three hit-by-pitches.
"We didn't get the long ball today," Glavine noted. "It was a bit of a hard day to hit; the wind was blowing in, so that's what we need to be able to do — grind out those at-bats, make them work, drive up pitch counts, work our walks, get hit by pitches, steal bases, put pressure on them, and then get some big hits. We also had some big sacrifice flies. We talk about having a dynamic, relentless offense that scores runs in a lot of different ways. Today we didn't do it with the home run; we did it with everything else, which was really great to see."
After six empty innings to start the game, Hofstra finally broke through against Husky hurler Jake Gigliotti, manufacturing a run with a single, a walk, and a single. David Stiehl finished the inning in Gigliotti's stead, but ceded two runs of his own in the eighth on a two-run double by Kevin Bruggeman. Eric Yost came on and nearly got burned on his first pitch to Brian Goulard, but the fly ball settled into Ben Malgeri's glove on the center field warning track to neutralize the threat.
A home run would have pulled the Pride within two runs. But the Huskies posted their three spot in the top of the following frame, and the 10–3 final score barely reflected the fingerprints of the snuffed-out Hofstra rally. The Huskies retained their streak, and the attention that has accompanied it.
"We're streaking. We're just kind of embracing it, owning it. Every day there's more confidence than there was the day before," Glavine said. "No one's arrogant, no one's taking anything for granted, no one's nervous or worried about the streak. We talk about it openly. We know we have the longest streak in the country. We love it."
"We know everybody wants to beat us," he continued. "We know every time we play a game now, someone can knock us off. The guys keep rising to the occasion. If anything, it's heightened their focus, their energy, their passion, and their enjoyment of the game. It really works for us in so many positive ways and it's been great to see."

NEW SALS RESTAURANT - GRAND OPENING - MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1st
Salisbury House is thrilled and proud to announce we have moved and are now open at our new 24 hour location at 787 Leila Avenue.
The official ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at noon on Monday, November 1st. Guests will receive a complimentary Red Velvet Muffin and coffee as part of the Sals celebration. Click here to view the poster.
Ideally located just across from the Garden City Shopping Centre, this 24-hour restaurant features 148 seats, licensed for beer and wine, a private party room and includes our subsidiary division - Red Roof Catering. It also is the new home of our Corporate Headquarters.
"The establishment of this flagship location for Winnipeg's historic north end comes at a wonderfully harmonious juncture in the 79 year history of Sals as an iconic institution in this town", states Earl J. Barish, President and CEO of Salisbury House of Canada Ltd. "As we approach our 80th anniversary in 2011, Sals will be able to offer our legendary classics for generations to come in a convenient and comfortable brand new restaurant.

As it was extremely important to maintain the panache of the neighbourhood meeting place for our guests, we have preserved the tradition of the very popular Sals counter in keeping with the spirit of the original coffee shop motif."
The legendary 'Nip' was introduced to Winnipeg in 1931 at the first Salisbury House on Fort St. Sals original founder, Ralph Erwin, was an American actor who recognized a need for a place to get great food late at night when he was on the road in Canada during the late 1920's. With $135 borrowed from friends back in Nebraska, his plan was to open a restaurant in Winnipeg, the heart of the British Empire. With that influence, he introduced the hamburger and called it a NIP, a small portion of the Salisbury Steak, named after Lord Salisbury.

Q: How to construct a Segal category from a quasicategory? The following are both models for $(\infty,1)$-categories:

*

*quasicategories;

*Segal categories.

Given the above, I was wondering how to set up an equivalence (isomorphism?) between quasicategories and Segal categories? At least, given a quasicategory, what is its corresponding Segal category?
Would anyone know of a source/reference that discusses this? Any help would be much appreciated.

A: The canonical reference is the paper

Quasi-categories vs Segal spaces

by André Joyal and Myles Tierney.
It works in the setting of Segal spaces, but there are standard tools to move between Segal spaces and Segal categories.
For example, see the book

The Homotopy Theory of (∞,1)-Categories

by Julia E. Bergner.

A: The most natural way of constructing Segal categories from quasicategories is to go via (complete) Segal spaces.
Let $I^n$ be the (nerve of) the contractible groupoid $\{ 0 \leftrightarrows 1 \cdots \leftrightarrows n \}$.
Given a simplicial set $X$ we may define a bisimplicial set $t^! (X)$ by the following formula:
$$t^! (X)_{m, n} = \textrm{Hom} (\Delta^m \times I^n, X)$$
Joyal and Tierney [2007, Quasi-categories vs Segal spaces] proved the following:
Theorem.
The functor $t^! : \textbf{sSet} \to \textbf{ssSet}$ is a right Quillen equivalence from the model structure for quasicategories to the model structure for complete Segal spaces.
In particular, if $X$ is a quasicategory, then $t^! (X)$ is a complete Segal space.
To extract a Segal category from a Segal space is easy.
Given a bisimplicial set $Y$, let $R (Y)$ be the bisimplicial subset of $Y$ where $y \in Y_{m, n}$ is in $R (Y)_{m, n}$ iff every iterated face operator $Y_{m, n} \to Y_{0, n}$ sends $y$ into the image of the iterated degeneracy operator $Y_{0, 0} \to Y_{0, n}$.
This is the largest bisimplicial subset of $Y$ such that the simplicial set $R (Y)_0$ is discrete, and $Y \mapsto R (Y)$ is easily seen to be a functor.
Recall that a Segal precategory is a bisimplicial set $Z$ such that the simplicial set $Z_0$ is discrete.
Let $\textbf{PC}$ be the full subcategory of Segal precategories.
Bergner [2006, Three models for the homotopy theory of homotopy theories] proved the following:
Theorem.
The functor $R : \textbf{ssSet} \to \textbf{PC}$ is a right Quillen equivalence from the model structure for complete Segal spaces to the model structure for Segal categories.
In particular, if $Y$ is a complete Segal space, then $R (Y)$ is a Segal category.
Putting the two theorems together, we obtain a right Quillen equivalence $R t^! : \textbf{sSet} \to \textbf{PC}$ from the model structure for quasicategories to the model structure for Segal categories.

I recently installed Ue4 on an old pc i have just for kicks to see if i could possible get it to run until i can get myself a better more suitable machine. Everything installed fine but when i try to run it i get a message.
This installed version of the AMD graphics driver has known issues. Please update to the latest driver version.
Im aware that the pc itself doesn't have nowhere near the power to run certain things but i figured it has enough to dilly dally with until i got something better to work with. Its a toshiba satellite l645d-s4040, windows 7 64 bit, 4gigs of ram (which ive seen other users use), AMD Athlon 2 P320 Dual Core Processor 2.1 GHZ, and its got direct x 11 installed. I could see my power being an issue but it seems somehow the graphics card isn't good enough. When i do manage to get a better pc in the future how will i know if my graphics card will be good enough because all the unreal faq says is "a DX11 compatible video card" which apparently mine is and its an issue. I see they have a list of ones they recommend but if i find a pc that doesn't have a card they suggest how can i make sure its gonna work with unreal before i buy it?
As far as I know, only ATI cards from 5xxx up support DX11. That does not apply to your card. Besides, it is an order of magnitude below the necessary power.
Also, while UE4 running on 4GB of RAM might be somewhat usable, do note that this memory pool will need to be shared with the onboard video card in this case.
I see they have a list of ones they recommend but if i find a pc that doesn't have a card they suggest how can i make sure its gonna work with unreal before i buy it?
Once you find something that fits your budget, post it here. There's a quite a lot of older video cards on the market that will have respectable performance.
Im at a loss though lol. I have directx 11 installed how can it not support it if it let me install it? The part about the memory pool was a bit beyond me you'd have to noob it down for me. I'm not the greatest with pc hardware if you cant tell. It seems to be running quite well at the moment but i haven't really tried to push it. I guess ill just have to take your suggestion into account and check here once i find something i can afford. Thanks for the help.
You can install any sort of software you want, if you really push it you can install a driver for the wrong video card - and it will definitely not work. But hey, you have it installed!
Your card supports up to DirectX 10.1. In addition, it is unsupported in Win 10 - there is not even a driver available as the support has phased out years ago. But that's not a problem at all.
Fully fledged video cards (dedicated/discrete) are separate components with their own v(ideo)Ram - super fast memory helping them store and display prepared data rapidly.
Integrated cards are small chips soldered onto a PCB - they do not have their own memory as they were intended for very light work. They will use your system memory - much slower and used by all processes in your PC.
It seems to be running quite well at the moment but i haven't really tried to push it.
wrong video card - and it will definitely not work. But hey, you have it installed!
Yea i guess your right i didn't give that too much thought. So again im being a noob but you said mine only supports up to directx 10.1, where are you able to find that info so i can look it up for future reference with other pcs? I knew the part about integrated vs dedicated i just didn't understand your terminology and i forgot that some (or all?) video cards do have their own memory but its good to have it in a clearer perspective thanks for that. Plus that will be great for anyone that reads this in the future.
Trust me i'm impressed to. I figured not to get my hopes up but not only did i get it to run but i was building onto the first person template a little and testing things out. I was able to run it on medium quality with resolution scale at 25%. From time to time i have to drop it to low but it pushing through somehow. Having my flashdrive with ready boost seems to help but maybe thats just my imagination. As long as i build everything like geometry and lighting seperately and dont just hit the build button it works but i hit the build button once and that was a mess. Had to force the pc to shut down.
To expand a bit on the DirectX 11 - you'll be able to use some of the features of the API with a card that does not support it fully - but there will be next to no tangible benefits. No extra performance that DX11 brought.
Having my flashdrive with ready boost seems to help but maybe thats just my imagination.
I would not be surprised. Even if it's plugged into a USB 2.0, a half decent USB stick will be faster than the laptop's 5400rpm drive.
As long as i build everything like geometry and lighting seperately and dont just hit the build button it works but i hit the build button once and that was a mess.
Well done, sir. It might be just enough to allow you to mess about with the editor.
Consider marking this as answered - the questions about what are the real min requirements of the editor are a bit of a mystery. Perhaps it will help someone find find their answer quicker.
Done and done thank you so much for your help.

Just back from seeing the prequel come remake of The Thing. Not a bad film with some pretty landscape shots. Unfortunately far too keen to show off the alien, the alien human hybrids and the space ship. Also suffered from too many clichés. Most of the "shocks" were very effectively spoilt by an overly obvious pre-shock – man in nervous situation, someone shouts boo at him then after a slow count to five the alien bursts out of its icy home. Similarly lazy dialogue. A shame because the potential for horror by building paranoia in a small group cut off from outside help lurks through the film.
Can someone explain why a geological expedition to Antarctica in 1982 has two flamethrowers, a box of grenades and at least one assault rifle? Were they afraid some polar bears might migrate from the Artic?
Also suffered from the makers having watched Alien one too many time and wanting their very own Ripley to play with in a sequel to their prequel they left open in the first of their two endings. The second ending cut into the credits pretty much sets up the original film.
The Thing is not a bad film overall but not one I'll be planning to see again.
The original "Thing" is in my top 5 films and after I watched it the first time I had to watch the entire John Carpenter back catalogue. It hooked me on horror films until I was into my late 20s and then all that teen flick "SCREAM" copycat shite happened.
"Slither" is a brilliant horror / comedy film and if you every get the chance to see it grab it with both hands. Bit of a flop at the cinema but I loved the film.
I was over the moon when I found out they were doing a prequel to the Thing and it was only equalled by my disappointment in the delay to the UK release date over the US release.
Flame throwers are just cool, so the real question is why you would NOT take one. Teach that huge frickin iceberg who boss!
The paranoia angle was covered brilliantly in the first film and drawing a comparison with the Alien franchise this was most definitely the Aliens outing. We've done the suspense hiding in the shadows thing and now its time to take it to the max.
I felt there was an issue with the film but mostly down to the monster itself, too much CGI made it look like crap and really took me out of the moment.
… of course this is mainly to get a box set with the original as my copy of the Thing DVD is so old it's only a small image in the middle of the screen.
