8. Crude Oil Prices Weaken; Bearish Signs Showing
Crude oil cooled off from its high of $72/barrel mark after concerns of oversupply started emerging. According to Bloomberg, 5 oil tankers carrying about 6 million barrels of North Sea crude have been floating off European shores for 3 weeks. The increase in floating barrels is said to be a sign of weak demand, especially from Covid hit Asia.
Supply is also expected to rise, with a major pipeline completing maintenance by mid-June.
9. SEC Concerned on Tesla Accepting Cryptocurrencies
The U.S Securities and Exchange Commission is said to be 'concerned' on Tesla accepting cryptocurrencies for payments on its cars. Electric carmaker Tesla had said it will accept Bitcoin as payment in February. But on May 12th, CEO Elon Musk said that the company will no longer accept Bitcoin for car purchases, talking about emissions concerns due to use of fossil fuels to mine the cryptocurrency.

Subsequent to removal of 6 USTs, a confirmed release and a free product discovery were filed with MDEQ. Three of the former USTs contained gasoline and the other 3 contained kerosene and waste oil. Retained by owner to close the release. The goal was to delineate the extent of contamination. Potential impact to off site receptors included an adjacent residence, a natural habitat approx 100 ft south of the site, and a utility corridor traversing the site and surrounding the site. Reviewed all previous documentation available on the site. Designed and implemented a scope of work to achieve the client's goals. Contacted MISS DIG to demarcate all utilities on the site and off where investigation would take place. Submitted notice to perform activities to MDEQ in accord with required time parameters. Obtained permits from the City of Walled Lake to advance borings and install and develop monitoring wells on the City's property. Because there was a garage on the site at the time and because the garage had electrical power, performed Lock-Out-Tag-Out to ensure power remained down while working on site. Assessed the integrity of existing monitoring wells on the site and sampled those assessed to be in tact. Advanced soil borings via a geoprobe and colleted soil and water samples and used appropriate preservative techniques. Characterized the soils found in the borings and prepared borings logs. Prepared scaled drawings of the site showing cross sections and included all utilities. Set and properly developed a well south of the site before the natural habitat. Assessed all exposure pathways and based on findings, using RBCA, Certified and filed the Closure report. Upon acknowledgement from MDEQ, properly closed all wells on the site.


Seven snippets of life right now, in no particular order.
Thomas loves being a big brother.
He loves taking care of John Paul and especially his two babies. The bigger one on the bottom is his baby Paul that Grandma got him to help with the transition to a little baby. The smaller one on top is John Paul's little baby, but Thomas adopted him as his own. I walked into the boys' room the other day, and Thomas was sound asleep with his babies, all napping together.
Thomas has taken to calling himself and John Paul in the third person. In the morning, he'll climb in the crib with John Paul and call out to me, "Mommy! The boys are ready to get up!" He loves being part of "the boys". "Mommy, the boys are ready to go to Costco!"
Jonathan was a superstar during his first "boys weekend" with both Wee Skis.
Thomas: When is mommy coming home?
Thomas: Are you kidding me? I'm gonna need some holy water.
Shelley Sprouffske, somehow you make our house less demonic???
What we now know translates to "I'm going to throw up." We had a rough Thursday last week, where Thomas threw up all over his bed during naptime. He didn't "spit" again until I returned home on Sunday, and woke us up last night to tell us. We stayed up with him for a few hours, keeping him upright while his tummy settled. I found an awesome recipe for homemade pedialyte, and have kept that in both boys. John Paul seems to have avoided getting sick. Here's praying Jonathan and I do too!
Thomas is doing so well in potty training.
This was my first weekend away from John Paul.
We began planning for the 2013 Relay training season in Las Vegas. I soaked up a little sun on Friday (95 degrees!) by the pool and got a good jump start on training for the Summits this fall. Friday night was so tough to fall asleep...but come Saturday night, I had a bubble bath and got eight uninterrupted hours of sleep. I won't lie -- it was heaven. But I was extremely happy to come home, drive down the driveway, and see the boys jumping up and down.
So hard to believe John Paul is almost one!
How can a year have flown by?!?
Love being able to come here to catch up with you and your darling family.... Such sweet stories.
Glad to hear Thomas is on the road to recovery and hopefully no one else has landed the bug.
Sending big hugs......we miss you.

Q: When does a hypersurface have contact-type? In a symplectic manifold $(X^{2n},\omega)$, a hypersurface $Y\subset X$ has contact-type if there is a contact form $\lambda$ such that $d\lambda=\omega|_Y$. Recall that a contact form is a 1-form with $\lambda\wedge(d\lambda)^{n-1}>0$, i.e. the opposite of a foliation.  For example, a starshaped hypersurface has contact-type in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$, or more generally an $Y\subset\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ transverse to a Liouville vector field defined in a neighborhood of $Y$.  In particular, any contact manifold $Y$ is a contact-type hypersurface in a symplectic manifold (the symplectization $\mathbb{R}\times Y$).
Now it's nice and useful to consider symplectic manifolds where its boundary has contact-type. And this can usually be done given a compact symplectic manifold (cobordism between contact manifolds).
This leads to the question of whether or not you can always build such a space. In other words:
Given a random hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$, is it of contact-type? How do you tell when it's not of contact-type?
Edit: In light of the posted responses, I think it would be appropriate to tweak one of the questions above. In particular, it was essentially pointed out twice that in the "set of hypersurfaces" there are open neighborhoods which contain no contact-type ones. But, are "most" hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ of contact-type? i.e. Should I expect my hypersurface to be of contact-type?

A: Not all hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ are of contact type.
Weinstein, in the paper: "On the hypothesis of Rabinowitz' periodic orbit theorems", where he defined the concept of contact type, gives a criterion. If $H^1(\Sigma)=0$, and $\Sigma$ is of contact type, then the characteristic line bundle comes with a distinguished orientation, determined by those vectors $\xi$ such that $\alpha(\xi)>0$ for all contact forms $\alpha$. This is independent of the contact form. For periodic orbits this induces a positivity criterion. In the same paper he also constructs an hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^4$ which is not of contact type, by showing that the criterion is violated.
Many hypersurfaces are of contact type, as you remarked. Another nice example are mechanical hypersurfaces. These are hypersurfaces arising as level sets from hamiltonians $H=T+V$, where $T$ is the kinetic energy term $T=\frac{1}{2}\vert p\vert^2$, and $V$ is a potential depending only on $q$. This works in general cotangent bundles.

A: Here is an example of a surface which cannot be made of contact type even after isotopy. The elliptic surface $E(1)$ is obtained by blowing up $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^1$ nine times. It is a symplectic four-manifold with fibre of genus 1 and 12 singular fibres. If we make a fibred connected sum between two copies of E(1) we obtain the elliptic surface $E(2)$, which is a symplectic four-manifold with fibre of genus 1 and 24 singular fibres.
Then $E(2)$ is separated by a torus $T^3$ into two pieces which are diffeomorphic to the complement of a regular fibre in $E(1)$. This shows that the separating torus cannot be made of contact type because, by a result of Chris Wendl, all strong fillings of $T^3$ are diffeomorphic to a blow up of $T^*T^2$.

A: There are also examples that are characterized dynamically.  By Viterbo, every compact, contact-type hypersurface of $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ carries a closed Reeb orbit, i.e. a closed leaf of the characteristic line bundle.  (Actually, Hofer and Zehnder show this is true for any stable hypersurface.)  There are examples of autonomous Hamiltonians on $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ that fail to have any closed orbits on a specific level set, thus providing examples of hypersurfaces that fail to be stable. These are due to Ginzburg and Gurel.

By Bronya Smolen 2015-04-10T00:00:00+01:00
US sandwich chain Potbelly is looking to open 15-20 stores in London, in its first move into Europe.
The sandwich bar, which offers sub-style sandwiches on multigrain or 'regular' bread, is set to establish itself within the UK.
According to British Baker's sister site, M&C Report, the first site will open in the "The Street", part of Westfield Stratford this June, with 10 shops in the capital in the next five years.
The company will operate under the name Buraq Retail (Pot Belly) Ltd and has head offices in Potters Bar.
It says it will aim to deliver a "Potbelly experience by providing fast, friendly and efficient service".
As well as toasted sandwiches, the US shops sell soups, breakfast, salads, milkshakes, freshly baked cookies, and stores feature live local music.
The brand has over 300 sites throughout the Americas, where it is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

AWOLNATION's Aaron Bruno recalls "insane" live cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Mat Hayward/Getty Images
AWOLNATION released a covers album earlier this year, but frontman Aaron Bruno thinks there are some songs that should never be covered. One example, he says, is Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
"To me, covering that song is blasphemy," Bruno tells ABC Audio of the grunge classic.
Ironically, AWOLNATION has covered "Smells Like Teen Spirit" live in the past. However, as Bruno explains, that was under special circumstances.
During a 2018 show in Italy, Bruno was having issues with his voice. Toward the end of the set, Bruno "dared" AWOL's guitar player, Zach Irons, to sing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for the crowd as he was trying to get his voice right.
"[Irons'] family was in town, it was kind of a special night for him," Bruno recalls. "We'd never practiced ['Smells like Teen Spirit'], but the band knew it by heart, because most people know that song. They played it front to end, and Zach … sang the whole thing."
As for how his bandmate did taking on such an untouchable song, Bruno declares that Irons "didn't do terrible."
"It's hard to say anyone could do that song good, besides Kurt [Cobain], of course," Bruno says.
"It was a challenge, and [Irons] accepted the challenge," the "Sail" artist adds. "[The band] did it, and it still remains one of the most insane things I've ever been a part of. But I wasn't even onstage for it, so I don't know if that counts."
AWOLNATION's covers album, My Echo, My Shadow, My Covers and Me, is out now and features takes on songs by Madonna, Scorpions and ABBA, with guests including Rise Against's Tim McIlrath, Portugal. the Man, Incubus' Brandon Boyd, Beck and Jewel.
You can catch AWOLNATION on tour with Badflower starting in October.

20 Classic TV Shows You Can Watch Free Online
Paramount/CBS
Cord-cutting has reached a strange juncture point. Older viewers accustomed to the cable TV format, with its rigorous schedule and dozens of channels, have grown to miss it. Some even seem to resent the chaos of endless choices of on-demand streaming. They miss the structure and order of cable. Sometimes, not having to choose what you want to watch is kind of freeing.
Meanwhile, some younger viewers who never grew up with cable have begun to realize the concept has advantages. Instead of needing to remember where the thing you want to watch is streaming and what episode you were up to, you just click a button, look at a channel guide, and you're off. Newer does not always mean better.
For all of those people, there are a growing number of services and websites that offer a cable-like experiences on streaming. Those sites and apps include Pluto TV, which is owned by Paramount and offers not only on demand movies and shows but also pre-programmed "channels" in a variety of genres. Increasingly, Pluto and other services are also offering 24/7 channels of just one show, so if you desperately need to watch an episode of, say, Three's Company at 4:30 in the morning, you can do that.
In fact, Pluto currently offers well over a dozen channels dedicated to classic TV shows, and they add more all the time. (They just added a channel dedicated to Transformers cartoon shows just a few weeks ago.) Here's 20 you can watch right now — or any time you feel like it.

A new and rapid method for analysing single unidentified fragments within bulk bone samples via ancient DNA (aDNA) sequencing is described in the journal Scientific Reports this week. Small fragments of bone are commonly found in archaeological and palaeontological digs but can be difficult to identify, and aDNA analysis of single samples can be costly and time-consuming.
Michael Bunce and colleagues present a 'bulk-bone' approach whereby they extracted and amplified aDNA dating as far back as about 46,000 years ago from blended samples of bone powder. Each sample contained material from 50?150 fossil fragments found within one of 15 sediment layers across two archaeologically significant sites in Australia: Devil's Lair and Tunnel Cave. They screened the extracted aDNA for amplifiable mitochondrial DNA, which was then sequenced using high-throughput sequencing (a metabarcoding approach). The authors then performed a taxonomic analysis, which indicated that the samples contained DNA from a range of mammals, birds and reptiles.
The rapid and cost-effective analysis of bulk bone samples from excavations and test pits without damaging morphologically important samples represents a valuable tool for archaeologists and palaeontologists. These results offer an initial demonstration of a technique that shows promise for such analysis, and may potentially help to uncover information about past biodiversity from samples that could have otherwise been discarded. However, further work is required to reliably infer information about genetic diversity over time and improve taxonomic identification to the species level.

New Talk
Badlands Bar (map)
Perth-based 'polished scungers' Rag n' Bone have adopted a new moniker to carry them into their next phase. The move has been brought on by the rise of UK star Rag and Bone Man, resulting in a murder of misdirected Facebook messages, baffling playlist additions and undue congratulations from elderly relatives after viewing The Graham Norton Show. To this, the band says "NO MORE"!
Some great memories came from the time with the former name. The last couple of years saw the band release their debut album A Handful Of Ash, play festivals such as Falls, SOTA, Baybeats (Singapore) and Concrete & Glass (China), and shows with Stiff Little Fingers, Future Of The Left, WAAX, Jen Cloher and Gold Class, to name a few.
To usher in the next phase, NEW TALK has releases a new single 'Red Tuesday'. Inspired by a devastating bushfire that ravaged through South Gippsland in Victoria at the turn of the 20th century. Recorded by frequent collaborator Dave Parkin, Red Tuesday is a powerful statement on the importance of place and family remembrance, oscillating between vast space and massive distortion and anchored by Kiera Owen's ever-powerful lead vocal.
Accompanying the track is an incredible one shot video directed by Luna Laure of Via Luna Pictures and produced by Pavlova. Luna's vision compliments the song perfectly, using a fiery lighting display tracked through a flooded basement to capture the song's dramatic themes and intensity.'

The Money War was conceived while Dylan Ollivierre (Rainy Day Women) and Carmen Pepper (Warning Birds) drove across the US in late 2015. Inspired by the trip, a pile of iPhone demos were created. After a chance meeting with producers Thom Monahan (Fruit Bats, Little Joy) and Arne Frager (Prince, Paul McCartney) in a dive bar in San Francisco, the duo were convinced of the value of the demos and began work on materializing a record. Dylan started writing songs when he was 13 and soon began to figure out the recording process. "I got a 4 track cassette tape machine for my 16th Birthday and have been working on production since then".
Dylan's family is from Bequia, in the Caribbean, where his father worked as a shipwright on Bob Dylan's boat 'Water Pearl'. "I got to meet Bob Dylan a few times as he was a friend of my parents. I played guitar with him and talked a little about song writing. I wish I could have the conversation now because I would appreciate it so much more."
After being unearthed by Triple J, 'Recall' from the band's debut EP became the 5th most played song of the year on Triple J Radio for 2017, helping the band grow their fan base in Australia and subsequently opening doors in the US. The band received praise from their peers including Neil Finn who expressed his admiration of the band's songwriting after he watched them side of stage supporting him prior to heading to Austin, Texas to showcase at South by Southwest.
The Money War have been receiving airplay on numerous radio stations across the US including SiriusXM, KEXP, CJAM FM, KXRN California and WLKK New York. They've also been riding high on college radio charts and this exposure was clearly evident at SXSW where fans turned out to shows with the recognition of the songs on their lips. Several blogs including 'Space City Rock' and 'We Are The Guard' highlighted The Money War as one of the best acts at SXSW.
The Money War's latest single 'Hollywood' marks a significant progression in the band's sound, production values and songwriting. The cinematic, dream-pop mood conveys a sense of despair with Carmen Pepper's ethereal vocal underscored by a wondrously swelling, atmospheric soundtrack. 'Hollywood' is due for release August 24 and is the first single taken from the band's forthcoming, debut album.

Statues are a progressive hardcore band from Perth, Western Australia. Since their foundation in 2009, Statues have become renowned for their extremely high energy live shows, treating everything and everyone as a part of the performance. In 2015 Statues released their debut record, "Together We're Alone" to fantastic critical reception, Sputnik Music described it to "be mind-blowing in both craziness and shear heaviness." Following the release of the album Statues went through a line-up change with the departure of Jayme Van Keulen (Vocals) and Dan Harper (Drums). Statues approached an old friend and guest vocalist on Together We're Alone; Alex Shom to step in on vocals and local young gun Matt Unkovich to play Drums. After releasing the line-up's debut single "Dogswamp" the band knuckled down to write what would become their most ambitious work to date. "No Grave, No Burial" is a concept album set in the heart of a civil war, the character must find safety by leaving his home. To escape he must lose loved ones, battle his own demons, face who took all he knows and uncover a horrific truth at the end of his struggles. He fights to find freedom, only to uncover further persecution and a bleak reality.

Born on a different kind of bayou, West Australian trio The Floors combine a very individual air of menace with a charm that is both unsettling and arresting at once.
They are, on occasion, described as a blues band, though the workhorse floor meets the kitchen floor at times, with the sink thrown in for good measure. This music isn't about archetypes, it's the people in your house and sometimes it's you. The lessons were hard learnt when this trio first took to the road over a decade ago…
"We were pure, innocent teenagers," vocalist/guitarist, Luke Dux recalls. "Then we were offered the opportunity to spend a few years touring around the country and we were corrupted. We learnt how to play like our lives depended on it. In some towns it did."
This much you can tell when you witness The Floors in performance. Ryan Dux's tectonic bass locks in with the maniacal march of Ashley Doodkorte's pummelling drums, both permeated by the splitting squall of Luke Dux's cyclonic guitar and curdling vocals, it's clear The Floors mean every note and every word. They harness something wild and visceral – a mood that fans flames and conjures hellhounds without ever bludgeoning for its own sake.
"It could fall apart at any moment and we're trying to tear the earth into two," says Luke. "It's a lot of fun, but we mean what we play."
What else can one say about the three debonair young gentlemen that make the uncouth and unholy racket unleashed in the rolling juggernaut the rest of us unsuspecting citizens now recognise as The Floors? We could count the sheer amount of West Australian Music Awards (9 and counting); the coveted support slots for icons such as the Buzzcocks, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, King Khan, and X; the affinity with the almighty Beast Records (home to the likes of Kim Salmon, The Kill Devil Hills, Cash Savage, and Six Ft Hick); the acclaimed albums; or the legions of fans from Bunbury in the South West of Australia, to Brittany in the North West of France.
But that speaks nothing to the face-melting intensity of a band whose music is nothing if not energetic, driven, base, savage, primal, grimy and above all REAL.

Spellbinding. Captivating. Bewitching. Seductive. Primal. Preternatural. Moana is the creative project of artist Moana Mayatrix, once described by JJJ's Gemma Pike as one of Australia's fiercest frontwomen, who is currently working in collaboration with musicians Lochy Hoffmann, Austin Rogers and Willow Fearns. Since the group's inception in 2013, countless words have been written about the avant garde art rock outfit, all edging around the idea that there is something otherworldly, verging on genuinely dangerous, about this act. Combining the shamanic stream-of-consciousness poetry of peak-era Patti Smith with psychedelic melodies, grungy guitar licks, and propulsive rhythms, Moana doesn't so much craft songs as pagan prayers set to the heartbeat of the world.
Moana transgresses the boundaries of form and genre, incorporating experimental art, theatre, spoken word performance, poetry, costuming, and more in a cross-media syncresis that engages all the senses physical and beyond, in a kind of ecstatic reverie. A singular approach to music and art has gathered to them a fiercely loyal tribe of fans, who have engaged with the project to successfully crowdfund not only their sophomore EP, The Trilogy of the Black Monsoon, but their upcoming debut album.
A regular and welcome fixture on the local live scene, Moana have played stellar local festival slots including RTRFM's In the Pines, State of the Art Festival, Beaufort Street Festival, Norfolk Lanes Youth Festival, Rottofest and have supported the likes of Tim Rogers, Abbe May, and Ocean Alley. Their recorded works have received rave reviews including a slot in "Top 20 Albums of 2014" from X-Press Magazine and their music video The Killer, My Girl was a finalist in "Best Music Video" for the 2014 WAM Awards, while Vader was a Best Music Video finalist at the 2016 WA Screen Awards.
Moana's imminent debut LP sees their music push into uncharted territory, resulting in a sound that is weirder, heavier, prismatic. The 10 track album, under construction for the past 18 months, is meant as an exploration into the wild feminine and the brutal, beautiful natural world, the metamorphosis of insects and humans.
Following that, Moana's next wildly ambitious project is The Colour Red, an artistic vision/psychological analysis/deconstruction of story that combines music, story-telling, visual art, motion-comic and performance-art to dissect and reconfigure the well-worn trope of the murder ballad into something new and challenging.

Turtle Bay Television
Led by Thomas Cockram, Turtle Bay Television have existed in various incarnations since 2012 but have settled on a consistent line up in the past few years, with the recent addition of sax player, Tom Beech, trumpet player, Will Johnson and vocalist, Amy Murray, to bolden their sound. After finding their feet in the local scene, Turtle Bay have gone on to share the stage with various local heroes, including Felicity Groom, Ziggy Ramo, Tired Lion, Demon Days and Ryan Beno. Turtle Bay's sound is a culmination of various influences including post-punk, folk, noise pop and horror movies, leading to a sound somewhere between Sonic Youth and Broken Social Scene. Their sophomore EP, Scared of Everything, reflects upon the process of being diagnosed with a mental illness and the resulting combination of both confusion and morbid relief. The release tries to make sense of these conflicting states of mind and distills this self analysis into erudite, cathartic post-punk

Axe Girl
You know you've witnessed a rock and roll event when you fear for the safety of the performers on stage. Axe Girl's, front woman, Addison, performs as if her very existence depends on it. From the moment she steps up to the mic and the band rumbles into powerful motion behind her, she's transported, visiting us from another world. A reality where the only thing that counts is the intensity and urgency of the performance itself.
When Axe Girl perform, expect to see jaws drop; audiences that weren't sure what they were about to witness rush the stage to get closer; people compelled to movement. Axe Girl are the authentic item and they mesmerise audiences like few bands can.
Hailing from Fremantle, Western Australia, where it's long been known that some kind of magic periodically releases to the world a band of unique majesty, Axe Girl are in good company. And they're that good, nay great, that it's not a stretch to say that they're next in line to be taking their own version of the Fremantle sound to the world. On top of their incandescent live show, Axe Girl have a swag of songs cast in their own original mould — yet almost instantly familiar — that will open any doors they want to step through.
Get along to one of Axe Girl's local gigs while you still can, and witness for yourself the raw power that will make them the next big thing on the international stage.
Having won hearts across Australia touring with icons The Bennies and Clowns, and having supported the likes of Spiderbait, Hard Aches, Meat Puppets, Hard Ons, Abbe May and 28 Days, they now prepare to release their glittery new single 'Yoko' and hit the road in April with ANTY!

After 9 months of writing from 2017 to the beginning of 2018 while rehearsing and fine tuning their new sound,"Shangrila" went into "Sumo Sound Studios" in Perth to record their up coming EP "LOVE AND LEAVING" and couldn't be happier to share with you their first single - "Temptress". After spending the last 7 years of their musical careers playing heavy music the band decided that the best way for them to challenge themselves and truly show people who they are with their music was to take a different turn and head down a more traditional Rock and Roll / Pop Punk path although still with some slight elements of their past genre. "Temptress" is a song about loving something or someone so dearly that you can never seem to walk away. Even when it starts to effect other aspects of you're life in a negative way and you begin to question it, deep down you never stop loving it. This song relates directly to emotions the members of "Shangrila" have experienced together. "Shangrila's" up coming EP "LOVE AND LEAVING" was produced and engineered by Tristan Sturmer at Sumo Sound Studios and mixed and mastered by Forrester Savell who has worked with Australian heavy weights such as "Karnivool and Dead Letter Circus". The band is excited to grab hold of the future and are eager to get back on stage to share their music with the whole of Australia. They feel that they are finally creating and performing music that represents who they are as a band.

Perth pop duo PRISCILLA, brainchild of Luke and Priscilla brands an eclectic fusion of feel-good riffs, party drums and limitless vocals that land you mid conversation between Bjork and Kimbra at David Bowie's house warming party.
The band have played support to acts like WOODES, EDEN, Matthew Young and a large list of Perth acts.
Their latest track stays true to their style of Electro Pop with a touch of 90's, delivering an eclectic disco bombshell that reminds us that sexuality is not a democracy, and you shouldn't have to vote on love. "It was a very emotional, heartbreaking and strengthening time, where the future of people under the rainbow had to be decided upon by others". "The song was written at a very special time in my life, where I was finally beginning to live as my authentic self. So we wrote it for loved ones, and for any person that's ever felt lost, alone or persecuted". "Cause in the end we both realised that people will think what they want, and sadly that may never change... but what we can do is keep fighting, and living for truth... because you shouldn't weather, we (society) should know better"

New handheld 3d imaging device to aid primary care doctors
April 7, 2017 October 3, 2012 by Brian Wang
Eurekalert – In the operating room, surgeons can see inside the human body in real time using advanced imaging techniques, but primary care physicians, the people who are on the front lines of diagnosing illnesses, haven't commonly had access to the same technology – until now. Engineers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have created a new imaging tool for primary care physicians: a handheld scanner that would enable them to image all the sites they commonly examine, and more, such as bacterial colonies in the middle ear in 3-D, or monitor the thickness and health of patients' retinas. The device relies on optical coherence tomography (OCT), a visualization technology that is similar to ultrasound imaging, but uses light instead of sound to produce the images.
To monitor chronic conditions such as ear infections, primary care physicians currently rely on instruments that are essentially magnifying glasses, says UIUC physician and biomedical engineer Stephen Boppart, who will present the team's findings at FiO. The new handheld imaging device would give doctors a way to quantitatively monitor these conditions, and possibly make more efficient and accurate referrals to specialists.
The scanners include three basic components: a near-infrared light source and OCT system, a video camera to relay real-time images of surface features and scan locations, and a microelectromechanical (MEMS)-based scanner to direct the light. Near-infrared wavelengths of light penetrate deeper into human tissues than other wavelengths more readily absorbed by the body. By measuring the time it takes the light to bounce back from tissue microstructure, computer algorithms build a picture of the structure of tissue under examination.
This is a schematic and picture of a handheld scanner doctors can use to monitor biofilms in the ear. It also shows a picture of a healthy middle ear and one covered with a biofilm.
Diabetic patients in particular may benefit from the device. About 40 to 45 percent of diabetics develop leaky blood vessels in their retinas – a condition called retinopathy, which can lead to thickening of the retina, blurry vision, and eventually blindness. The handheld OCT device would allow doctors to monitor the health of the retina, potentially catching retinopathy in its early stages. In some cases, changes in the eye could help doctors diagnose diabetes, Boppart says.
Boppart and his team are hopeful that falling production costs combined with smaller, more compact designs will enable more physicians to take advantage of the scanners, and become a common point-of-care tool. Eventually, they would like to see the imagers at work in developing countries as well. He and an international team of collaborators recently received a $5 million National Institutes of Health Bioengineering Research Partnership grant to further refine the device.
Presentation FTu2C.3. "Primary Care Imaging using Optical Coherence Tomography for Advanced Point-of-Care Diagnostics" takes place Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 11:15 a.m. EDT at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center.

==========================================
Support for PowerVM Performance Monitoring
==========================================

The IBM PowerVM hypervisor provides virtualization on POWER hardware.
PowerVM customers can see benefits in their environments by making use
of OpenStack. This project implements a Ceilometer-compatible compute
inspector.  This inspector, along with the PowerVM Nova driver and Neutron
agent, provides capability for PowerVM customers to natively monitor
utilization and statistics for instances running on OpenStack-managed systems.

Problem Description
===================

PowerVM supports a variety of performance monitoring interfaces within
the platform, providing virtual machine and system monitoring data.
Ceilometer-powervm implements a Ceilometer-based compute inspector for the
PowerVM hypervisor.

Inspector Description
=====================

The Ceilometer compute agent provides an inspector framework that allows
hypervisors to integrate support for gathering instance statistics and
utilization details into Ceilometer. This project provides a standard
Ceilometer virt inspector that pulls its data from the PowerVM Performance and
Capacity Monitoring (PCM) infrastructure.

This inspector retrieves instance monitoring data for cpu, network, memory, and
disk usage. Interactions with PowerVM PCM occur using the PowerVM REST API
stack through `pypowervm`_, an open source python project.

This inspector requires that the PowerVM system be configured for management
via `NovaLink`_.

.. _pypowervm: https://github.com/powervm/pypowervm
.. _NovaLink: http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=AN&subtype=CA&htmlfid=897/ENUS215-262&appname=USN

End User Impact
---------------

The users of the cloud are able to see the metrics for their virtual machines.
As PowerVM deals with 'disk buses' rather than specific disks, the hard disk
data is reported at a 'per bus' level (i.e. each SCSI or Virtual Fibre Channel
bus).

Performance/Scalability Impacts
-------------------------------

None.

Other deployer impact
---------------------

The cloud administrator needs to install the ceilometer-powervm project on
their PowerVM compute node.  It must be installed on the `NovaLink`_ virtual
machine on the PowerVM system.

The cloud administrator needs to configure their 'hypervisor_inspector' as
powervm.

No other configuration is required.

Developer impact
----------------

None

Orange is a good network, They currently offer 400 free texts plus free music when you topup £10 on the Monkey plan.
Giffgaff is one of the less known UK mobile networks, At the moment they offer 250 mins as well as unlimited texts and web for only £10.
Vodaphone is a good network, They currently offer 1,000 free minutes of call time to anyone else who is on the same network when you topup £10. You also keep you credit.
Free sim cards are often offered by many if not all mobile providers in this day and age, However it is apparent that some shops still get away with selling them for between £1 - £5 each.
What networks current provide free sim cards?
What does sim actually stand for?
What does sim actually stand for? to answer that question it stands for subscriber identity module. A sim is a portable and removable small card that stored data on it such as service subscriber key (IMSI) this is used to identify the subscriber of the mobile device. The sim lets its users easily change mobile phones by removing and placing the card from one phone to another.
When was the first SIM card created?
The very first sim card was created in 1991 by Munich smart card maker, Who then went on to sell 300 sims to the operator "Radiolinja"
How big are sim cards?
Sim cards are usually 85.60mm in length, 53.98mm in width and 0.76mm in thickness. (this is a standard sim card size) How many people use mobile phones in the UK?
What type of data does a sim card hold?
A sim card stores network information which is then used to authenticate and recognise the subscriber of the network. A sim card stores other information such as the service providers name and messaging centre number.
SMS – Free sim cards also hold information such as your text messages.
Phonebook – Modern sim cards can usually store over 250 contacts.
How do i backup my old sim card and transfer it to a new one?
It's always a huge pain when you get a new sim card, Messing around writing all your contact numbers down on a piece of paper or typing them up on a computer. Well with modern day technology it's a hell of a lot easier to backup and transfer your sim card with a sim card reader.
Which mobile network is the best?
This is a question that only you can answer, All the networks have different ups and down so finding a suitable one for you is something only you can do. However if you really feel like you need some help you could always contact us.
Can I access all webstites with?
I live in Italy can I only access AAMS ADM Casinos?
How many free sim cards can you order?
All mobile providers offer a different amount of free sim cards, For example 02 offer up to 4 free sim cards whilst T-Mobile offer a maximum of 2 free sim cards. Overall it's a good idea to order only the amount you need however you could order some extra ones to give to your friends or family as a gift!

Graduate students at universities across the country are rushing to take advantage of a recent National Labor Relations Board ruling granting them the right to unionize.
Graduate students at several universities are rushing to take advantage of a recent National Labor Relations Board ruling granting them the right to unionize.
Within hours of the NLRB ruling extending union eligibility to graduate student workers, WRAL reports that students at Duke University had already begun taking steps to establish their own labor union, mirroring similarly swift responses at other universities across the country, including Northwestern University, St. Louis University, American University, University of Missouri, and Columbia University.
At Mizzou, for instance, the Coalition for Graduate Workers, which is affiliated with the Missouri National Education Association, is seeking recognition to represent about 2,600 MU graduate assistants in collective bargaining, according to The Columbia Tribune.
Pattie Quackenbush, a PhD student and non-tenured instructor at Mizzou, said establishing a union for graduate student workers is necessary because the university cannot be expected to honor mere promises.
The Duke Graduate Students' Union is also actively campaigning for the unionization effort on its Facebook page, encouraging prospective members to sign a confidential union authorization card provided by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
Faculty Forward Network in North Carolina, a group of faculty members focused on "raising standards for our students and our profession," has also been vocal on social media, using its Twitter account to rally students in support of unionization.
Others, however, notably the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, have a very different take on the NLRB ruling.
"This is yet another attempt by the Obama NLRB to pay back their union boss benefactors by corralling more people into their forced dues ranks. The National Labor Relations Act's one-size-fits all compulsory unionization model should be eliminated, not expanded to graduate students," the organization's Vice President, Patrick Semmens, said in a statement provided to Campus Reform.
Campus Reform reached out to the DGSU and the Faculty Forward Network for comment, but did not receive a response from either group in time for publication.

Q: Rolling average cost I have the dataframe;
df_exa = pd.DataFrame([['B', 20, 123], ['B', 14, 125], ['S', 15, 123],
                   ['B', 14, 122.5], ['S', 1,124], ['B', 4, 128]],
                  columns=['Buy_Sell', 'quantity', 'price'],
                  index=['Basket1', 'Basket2', 'Basket3', 'Basket4',
                         'Basket5', 'Basket6'])

I am looking to calculated the rolling cumulated cost (so taking in account only the B (for Buys))
And my result should look like the following :
df_exa_avg_cost = pd.DataFrame([['B', 20, 123, 123], ['B', 14, 125,123.8235], ['S', 15, 123, 123.5714],
                   ['B', 14, 122.5,123.3333], ['S', 1,124, 123.3333], ['B', 4, 128, 123.6119]],
                  columns=['Buy_Sell', 'quantity', 'price','avg_cost'],
                  index=['Basket1', 'Basket2', 'Basket3', 'Basket4',
                         'Basket5', 'Basket6'])

I know how to populate the new column avg_cost with a for loop, but i am trying to use something more efficient as the number of basket transactions can grow significantly.
Would anyone know how to achieve this please ?

A: You stated you want the cumulative average cost for just B which is done via:
df_exa['total'] = df_exa['quantity']*df_exa['price']

df_buy_ex = df_exa[df_exa['Buy_Sell'] == 'B'].copy()

df_buy_ex['t_cumsum'] = df_buy_ex['total'].cumsum()
df_buy_ex['q_cumsum'] = df_buy_ex['quantity'].cumsum()
df_buy_ex['cum_avg_p'] = df_buy_ex['t_cumsum']/df_buy_ex['q_cumsum']
df_exa_avg = df_exa.merge(df_buy_ex['cum_avg_p'], how='left',left_index=True,right_index=True)
df_exa_avg.ffill(inplace=True)

df_exa_avg[['Buy_Sell','quantity','price','cum_avg_p']]

This actually gives you the following:

Whilst your desired outcome values are actually more inlined with taking the cumulative average cost for both B and S:
df_exa['total'] = df_exa['quantity']*df_exa['price']
df_exa['t_cumsum'] = df_exa['total'].cumsum()
df_exa['q_cumsum'] = df_exa['quantity'].cumsum()
df_exa['cum_avg_p'] = df_exa['t_cumsum']/df_exa['q_cumsum']

df_exa[['Buy_Sell','quantity','price','cum_avg_p']]

Gives output:

A: As you want avg_price for 'B's only that carries over for 'S' you can do
buys = (df_exa['Buy_Sell'] == 'B')
df_exa.loc[buys, 'avg_cost'] = ((df_exa.loc[buys, 'quantity']*df_exa.loc[buys,'price']).cumsum()/df_exa.loc[buys,'quantity'].cumsum())
df_exa.fillna(method = 'ffill')

to give you
        Buy_Sell    quantity    price   avg_cost
Basket1 B           20          123.0   123.000000
Basket2 B           14          125.0   123.823529
Basket3 S           15          123.0   123.823529
Basket4 B           14          122.5   123.437500
Basket5 S           1           124.0   123.437500
Basket6 B           4           128.0   123.788462

Defenceman Scott Lachance entered the 2001-02 season intending to help the Vancouver Canucks build on their improved play the previous season. A fine passer with good mobility, he played the man well in his own zone and was an asset to his team's transitional game.
A native of Chalottesville, Virginia, Lachance attended Boston University where he became one of the top prospects in North America. He was chosen fourth overall by the New York Islanders in the Entry Draft before joining the U.S. national team. During the 1991-92 season, he solidified the team's blueline and helped his country win the bronze medal at the World Junior Championships and place fourth at the Albertville Olympics.
Following the Olympics, Lachance was impressive in the last 17 games of the regular season. He became a fixture on the New York defence for several years. Although his offensive totals were modest, his smooth skating and sound positional play made him an asset to the club. Lachance was chosen to represent the U.S. at the 1996 and 1997 World Championships and participated in the 1997 ANHL All-Star Game.
When the Islanders began to reconfigure their roster in the late 1990s, Lachance was traded to the Montreal Canadiens. He was a solid performer for his new club but left via free agency after the 1999-2000 season. Lachance signed with the Vancouver Canucks and was a stabilizing influence on the improved club in 2000-01. After two seasons on the West Coast, Lachance signed as a free-agent with the Columbus Blue Jackets in the summer of 2002, and became a solid performer on the team's blue line.
WJC-A All-Star Team (1991) Played in NHL All-Star Game (1997) Traded to Montreal by NY Islanders for Montreal's 3rd round pick (Mattias Weinhandl) in 1999 NHL Draft, March 9, 1999. Signed as a free agent by Vancouver, August 13, 2000. Signed as a free agent by Columbus, July 4, 2002.

A little later than normal, it's time to show to you all what song was my most played gem throughout the month of October. It's one of the catchiest songs of the year that is a total ear-worm and has managed to garner loads and loads of plays on my Apple devices.
It is of course "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift. It received a total of 76 plays throughout October (a new record) and had it's most plays on the 12th October. It's the kind of song that doesn't really hit you at first but over time it just catches up with you and you can't help but sing it in the most random of places.
It was also the soundtrack to my trip to Las Vegas which also happened this week. I will be doing a blog on that shortly, but I will leave you with the sick video for "Shake It Off".
As always, let me know your views. Do you like this song as well? Any recommendations? I am always happy to read your views.

Matt Angus, BA
Matt's forestry degree specialized in recreation management, which laid the groundwork for much of his outdoor experience. Coupled with that degree, he's worked as an environmental interpreter and trip leader, leading backpacking/hiking, climbing, and canoeing trips. He has also worked as a health director for a YMCA camp.
As a field guide at Open Sky, Matt feels as though he is truly helping others while sharing his love for the natural world. He appreciates Open Sky's holistic approach, which includes yoga and meditation—something he finds lacking in other programs. He appreciates that the Open Sky community is compassionate and welcoming one.
As a senior guide, Matt values the full immersion into the work that Open Sky does. He values being an ear to those that wish to be heard and also being able to assist others in their growth as human beings. Matt has a very logistical mindset, which comes in handy for planning expeditions. He believes himself to be open-minded and willing to try new things, as he knows that he is also still growing as a person.
Outside of work, rock climbing and mountaineering are Matt's strongest passions at the moment. So it's highly likely he'll be climbing a cliff or on top of a 14'er (14,000 ft. peak!) on his off-shifts. He's also just as happy reading a book at home and spending time with his dog and his girlfriend.
