La symbrachydactylie, classification et traitement. A propos d'une serie de 117 cas
: Classification and treatment of symbrachydactyly: A series of 117 cases
G. Foucher, J. Medina, G. Pajardi, R. Navarro
IRCCS Multimedica
In the present study, a modification has been proposed of the Blauth and Gekeler classification, aimed at a more accurate definition of appropriate surgical treatment. An analysis was made of a series of 120 cases of symbrachydactyly (117 patients); however, surgery was only performed in 86 cases (51 toe transfers in 49 patients; mean age at surgery 12 months). Type I included the separation of short and sometimes stiff fingers; type II, the 'pseudo-cleft', could be subdivided into three groups. Type IIA included those hands with more than two long and frequently hypoplastic digits, regarding which a decision had to be made between removal of rudimentary fingers or their stabilization. In type IIB, hand function was good and surgery was rarely needed. Type III (monodactylous) could also be subdivided into two categories, i.e., normal thumb in type IIIA and hypoplasia in IIIB. Finally, in type IVA, toe transfer surgery was performed on condition that wrist mobility was sufficient to compensate for the insufficient mobility of the artificial thumb on the anterior aspect of the radius. In all cases, a weak but useful pincer movement was obtained, with poor cosmetic results. In the case of toe transfers, surgery was advocated before the age of one year; and although mobility was disappointing (35°active motion), good growth and excellent discrimination (5 mm on average) was observed. Symbrachydactyly is a fairly frequent congenital malformation; its diverse clinical features require a precise classification to better determine adequate treatment management.

Home Business Live Storage Status of 123 Reservoirs in the Country
Live Storage Status of 123 Reservoirs in the Country
New Delhi: Central Water Commission is monitoring live storage status of 123 reservoirs of the country on weekly basis. Out of these reservoirs, 43 reservoirs have hydropower benefit with installed capacity of more than 60 MW. The total live storage capacity of these 123 reservoirs is 171.091 BCM which is about 66.36% of the live storage capacity of 257.812 BCM which is estimated to have been created in the country.
As per reservoir storage data, live storage available in these reservoirs is 139.158 BCM, which is 81% of total live storage capacity of these reservoirs. However, last year the live storage available in these reservoirs for the corresponding period was 134.425 BCM and the average of last 10 years live storage was 116.268 BCM. Thus, the live storage available in 123 reservoirs 104% of the live storage of corresponding period of last year and 120% of storage of average of last ten years. The overall storage position is better than the corresponding period of last year in the country as a whole and is better than the average storage of last ten years during the corresponding period.
The Northern region includes States of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Rajasthan. There are 8 reservoirs under CWC monitoring having total live storage capacity of 19.17 BCM. The total live storage available in these reservoirs is 14.52 BCM which is 76% of total live storage capacity of these reservoirs. The storage during corresponding period of last year was 91% and average storage of last ten years during corresponding period was 81% of live storage capacity of these reservoirs. Thus, storage during current year is less than the corresponding period of last year and is also less than the average storage of last ten years during the corresponding period.
The Eastern region includes States of Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal, Tripura and Nagaland. There are 18 reservoirs under CWC monitoring having total live storage capacity of 19.43 BCM. The total live storage available in these reservoirs is 14.28 BCM which is 73% of total live storage capacity of these reservoirs. The storage during corresponding period of last year was 70% and average storage of last ten years during corresponding period was 62% of live storage capacity of these reservoirs. Thus, storage during current year is better than the corresponding period of last year and is also better than the average storage of last ten years during the corresponding period.
The Western region includes States of Gujarat and Maharashtra. There are 42 reservoirs under CWC monitoring having total live storage capacity of 35.24 BCM. The total live storage available in these reservoirs is 30.60 BCM which is 87% of total live storage capacity of these reservoirs. The storage during corresponding period of last year was 79% and average storage of last ten years during corresponding period was 65% of live storage capacity of these reservoirs. Thus, storage during current year is better than the storage of last year and is also better than the average storage of last ten years during the corresponding period.
The Central region includes States of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. There are 19 reservoirs under CWC monitoring having total live storage capacity of 44.45BCM. The total live storage available in these reservoirs is 38.12 BCM which is 86% of total live storage capacity of these reservoirs. The storage during corresponding period of last year was 79% and average storage of last ten years during corresponding period was 71% of live storage capacity of these reservoirs. Thus, storage during current year is better than the storage of last year and is also better than the average storage of last ten years during the corresponding period.
The Southern region includes States of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, AP&TG (2combined projects in both states), Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. There are 36reservoirs under CWC monitoring having total live storage capacity of 52.81 BCM. The total live storage available in these reservoirs is 41.64 BCM which is 79% of total live storage capacity of these reservoirs. The storage during corresponding period of last year was 77% and average storage of last ten years during corresponding period was 64% of live storage capacity of these reservoirs. Thus, storage during current year is better than the corresponding period of last year and is also better than the average storage of last ten years during the corresponding period.

How do you tote your kit?
Discussion in 'Creative Pursuits' started by JohnE, Sep 19, 2012.
www.kgear.com packs for lenses + body with small lens mounted within a large Camelbak backpack.
Lowepro Omni Trekker. Converts from shoulder to attache to backpack.
Holds 1-2 bodies, 3-5 lenses, 2 speedlights, swivels, chargers, cables, etc. Can even hold a full size tripod on the outside.
Either a small or medium Timbuk2 bag with a Mountainsmith "Kit Cube" inside. Holds a body, 1-2 lenses and maybe a speedlight. Has a drawstring, stuff sack type closure so inside a Timbuk2, it's pretty much rain proof. Can be put inside most any bag, case, backpack, etc.
My gear stays for the most part inside a Lowepro mini trekker. Its okay at best as far as backpacks go, if I had to lug my gear around for any length of time that wouldn't be my first choice. It currently has a body and four lenses, two speedlights, set of pocket wizards, and some miscellaneous stuff in it.
For hiking I'll usually take my Lowepro Photo sport. I like this pack a lot, it'll hold the camera and either a small prime or flash in the camera compartment plus some snacks, spare clothes, and any other little things in the top compartment. It can take a hydration bladder and is a pretty versatile pack. Carries the weight well.
I also have a clik chest pack which works well when I'm hiking and need the use of both hands for one reason or another.
Lastly I have a Patagonia messenger bag with a tenba insert that'll take a camera plus lens plus flash. It's a fair amount of weight to carry across one shoulder and can get pretty uncomfortable if you lug it for any amount of time.
I'm still looking for the ideal pack. Still haven't found it yet.
For hiking I usually take one camera and lens. Sometimes a flash. So it just goes into my day pack, or would if it wasn't around my neck the whole time.
Elsewhere I usually use my messenger bag. It's not perfect, but I already have it, and it works. Some day I'd like something like a Domke F2. I don't have enough stuff to fill it though.
One question matters here: Are you going to be riding/boarding/skiing with it?
I got that Mountainsmith insert for like $25 at REI. It turns any messenger bag into a better-than-a-Domke-bag in my opinion.
I don't get the appeal of Domke bags anyway. They are canvas with thin padded inserts (which are shoddily sewn) and sh1tty steel hook clasps that are a pain to open, and all for a ridiculous amount of money. WTF?
If I was riding or doing anything else that might risk impact, I'd spring for a Boblbee hard shell pack and a photo insert. Not that it would save the camera if the impact was great enough, but it would fair better than any soft sided pack.
i dont. i leave the dslr in the car.
i have the gopro for that. set it up for pictures every 2 seconds, and pray for a good picture to come.
i had a case logic bag, it had like a suspension thing for the camera. excellent bag, had room for a body+big lens + 1 extra lens, plus small pockets. (got stolen with all my stuff though). now i carry my stuff in a $35 canon bag, which has proved to be good for travel (if carried on the waist), since it holds my camera, passport, wallet, deflated neck pillow and small random travel things.
http://fstopgear.com/product/mountain/tilopa-bc as well as a few other of their small ones. Absolutely love these packs.
went downhill riding, to a big hill next to a slum... my window was broken, and they stole my camera plus 2 lenses, bag, xc helmet, camelback, bike tools, radio, wallet.... they forgot to take out the tv and the dvd player (they were hooked to the roof, and apparently, they didnt notice them).
That's funny if you say it in your head with a Hunter S. Thompson voice. Bonus points if your wife has a suitcase full of hallucinogens.
i have, seriously, had this conversation with my wife.
me: "in the event i caught a bike thief, or a car burglar. how liable will i be if i tied the guy to my hitch and dragged him for 2 miles, and how can i avoid/diminish it?"
me: "no, but seriously.... if i put a helmet on the guy... could i claim i had no intention of inflicting lethal harm"... "would that improve my standing in case of a legal proceding?"... "whats the most i could do, and how i could do it, in order to have the best standing for when legal issues came?"... "i dont mind a fine and being under parole, as long as there is no effective jailtime"
wife: "dont you ever try it. i swear i wont come to court if you do".
me: "dont worry... am just asking, besides, you dont have to come.. my sister is also a lawyer".
wife: "dont you ever dare, am serious...."
I second this, though depending on the ICU you have, it can be a lot of unnecessary pack/weight. Great pack for splitboarding/AT though. I even travel with mine a fair amount.
I'd look for a deal on a Lowepro/Thinktank/etc. in the size you want. Lowepro stuff ends up on closeout sometimes.
The f-stop packs are drool worthy, but do you really need a downhill rig for a fireroad?
How much gear do you intend to carry?
carrying sh!t...it's what his kids are there for.
Yeah that f-stop stuff is perfect for skiing. It's pricey but it's setup for being out in the snow......especially for some backcountry gear.

New version of DownSort has been released. With this new build most of the outstanding bugs have been fixed – possibly new ones created, but time will tell. In any case this should be better than the last build.
– Changed the way Sample folders are detected – this should prevent files from the Sample folder being copied to the final destination.
Please let me know if anything breaks or does not work with this build. My apologies for the delay in fixing these issues, I can only work on this in my spare time and it has been pretty crazy lately.
I'm getting a the UAC popup in windows 8 professional. I never got this with the old version.
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to disable this for this program. I'm still digging into it.
That seems a bit odd, I just tested on my Windows 8 pro machine, it did give me a prompt initially that said it might be unsafe to run an unknown application but every time after that it didn't pop up.
I will keep trying to replicate the issue, do you have a screenshot of the pop window that you get?
It won't let me take a screenshot of it.. I guess because it's presented front and center and dims the screen.
Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?
Seems weird.. I copied an older version of Downsort.exe that worked perfect and it keeps on giving me this same User Account Control box. Hmmmmm.
On windows 8, on that dialog box there is a "More Info" link. Click on that and this will reveal 2 buttons, one of which will says run always — or always run something similar. That should get rid of the message box.
Ok, I finally figured out what the issue was. I had the Downsort.exe in C:\Scripts folder which I've always used with all versions. Recently this is what was giving me the popup UAC windows.
I moved the folder from the C: to my F: drive and now no more UAC windows. I'm happy. Hopefully this may help out someone else if they run into this.
I didn't see any other way to contact you so I'm putting this here.
I was hoping to put in a feature request.
I would love to have the option of having the deleted files go to the recycle bin instead of just being deleted. I have lost large downloads a few times because I forgot to add the extension to the keep list. That way I could make sure I'm not losing anything and just empty the bin. I've had to re-download about 100 gigs so far.
I will look into this feature, it may be tricky especially if files reside on a network share.
Since the upgrade the extraction process fails. Downsort and the completed torrent are both on G: and I'm extracting to F: using the Alternate Destination feature. With the old version the log file would be written to the folder on F: with the extracted files. With the new version the log file is written to the torrent folder with the .rar files. the log says the extraction is successful, but no files appear in the F: folder.
I reverted back to the old version and everything works ok again.
My apologies for the issue – i will take a look and see what is causing the issue. Will release a test build as soon as I can.
Eddie, I'm experiencing the same problem – log file says all ok, but no extracted files to show for it. Could you possibly point me in the direction of the older version of Downsort in the hope that might work please?
Does this happen with the DevBuild as well?
yes it does.. do u have any suggestion?
Why is it creating a new folder..?
I suspect that this is also hapenning with my TV shows, but then it is much worse, since the first time it only creates the folder but then if a rared episode is downloaded, it is opened in this folder and then MANY episodes are copied to this folder!
I don't have a clean log to show about the second scenario. I just deleted all of them and will wait till the next time it happens.
This is just from 2 hours ago. Believe 03 just finished downloading at 11:58 and was just a simple mkv file.
Downsort opened Tv\Believe\Believe and proceeded to open folders for 01 and 02 then copy the old mkv files to these folders.
What is causing this behavior..?
Is there any place to download the older version in the mean time?

Q: When to use double-t ("-tt-"), when to use a single-t ("-t-") in spellings? I have the following questions:

*

*Why do words like "Committee" have a double-t ("-tt-") while words like "satisfy" have a single-t ("-t-")?

*Is there a general rule concerning when should one use a double-t ("-tt-") and when should a single-t ("-t-") be used?

A: I'm afraid, English Learner, that like most of English spelling, the rule is "use -tt- in words that have -tt- and use -t- in words that have -t-".
I know that's unhelpful, but there are no general rules.
There are partial rules for specific cases (for example, you often double the 't' when adding suffixes like '-ing' and '-ed' "hitting", "plotted"; but even that is not invariable, eg "editing), but that's all.
Your particular examples are both derived from Latin, and reflect a real difference in the way the Latin words were written, and, probably, how they were pronounced. ("committee" is from a Latin word "committo") But you would need to know Latin to know that. In English, I'm afraid you just have to learn that one has one 't' and the other has two.
Edited to correct "spelt" to "pronounced".

A: Short answer:
When the **
** is a part of stressed syllable, it often gets doubled (it's mostly true for verbs).
You can't tell which syllables are stressed by looking at the spelling. However, most dictionaries give phonetic transcription of words. You'll notice that there's a diacritic mark (') in the transcription, the syllable following that mark is stressed/ accented.
OP's examples:

*

*Committee /kəˈmɪt.i/ - The t gets doubled because it's a part of stressed syllable.

*Satisfy /ˈsæt.ɪs.faɪ/ - The t does not get doubled because it's a part of unstressed syllable.

Explanation:
✴ When the t is a part of stressed syllable and is preceded by a vowel, it often gets doubled in present participle and past participle.
Examples: Submit has two syllables, the t is a part of the second syllable which is stressed so it gets doubled in present participle and past participle.
Submit /səbˈmɪt/ -> submitting, submitted.
Similarly, admit has two syllables in which the second one is stressed and the t is a part of second syllable so it gets doubled in present participle and past participle.
Admit /ədˈmɪt/ -> admitting, admitted.

✴ When the t is a part of unstressed syllable, it does not get doubled in present participle and past participle.
Examples: Elicit has three syllables. The t is a part of unstressed syllable so it does not get doubled.
Elicit /iˈlɪs.ɪt/ -> eliciting, elicited.
Similarly, interpret has three syllables. Stress is on the second syllable and the t is a part of the unstressed syllable so it does not get doubled in present participle and past participle.
Interpret /ɪnˈtɜː.prɪt/ -> interpreting, interpreted.

✴ Monosyllabic verbs that end with t can have -tt- or -t-, it depends on the preceding letter.
1. If the t is preceded by a vowel, the t often gets doubled in present and past participle.
Examples:

*

*Spot /spɒt/ -> spotted, spotting.

*Fit /fɪt/ -> fitted, fitting.

*Jot /dʒɒt/ -> jotted, jotting etc.

2. If a consonant precedes the t in monosyllabic word, the t does not often get doubled in present participle and past participle.
Examples:

*

*Act /ækt/ -> acted, acting.

*Want /wɒnt/ -> wanted

*Jolt /dʒəʊlt/ -> jolted, jolting etc.

✴ Multisyllabic verbs in which the t is preceded by a consonant sound have -t- in their present participle and past participle.
Examples:

*

*Accept /əkˈsept/ -> accepted, accepting.

*Attempt /əˈtempt/ -> attempted.

*Interact /ˌɪn.təˈrækt/ -> interacted, interacting etc.

The trade union movement has always been at the vanguard of political change in Britain. And furthering economic equality goes hand in hand with political institutions that deepen political equality. To ignore the role of the political system (which concentrates political power in a minority of voters in a minority of seats) in driving political inequality, is to miss the potential for radical political change.
To truly shift power closer to the people on a long-term basis requires more than changing the underlying economic structures. Embedding changes in the political system would allow for a change in the very way we do politics, securing better social and political outcomes.
Politics for the Many: The Trade Union Case for Political Reform sets out the opportunities for the labour movement as a whole in uniting behind a broad platform of progressive political reform.
The Westminster model of government has allowed for sweeping legislation, eroding trade union rights in the UK.
Barnet TUC and the Barnet Alliance for Public Services participated in the annual general meeting of the Peoples Assembly Against Austerity on Saturday, just two of many delegations to the largest anti-cuts conference of the year. 2015 has not been an easy year, but it has been one in which the need for and effectiveness of the Peoples Assembly has been thoroughly proved.
Before the motions and the debates, there were introductory speeches. The first up was Dave Ward, new General Secretary of the CWU postal and communications union. He began by urging delegates to view the massive Tory U-turn on tax credit cuts as a big win for our movement, but also cautioned that there are four and half years left of the Tory government which in his own words had created a situation "the rich have never found an easier race to the top, the rest have never had a harder race to the bottom". Ward also condemned the decision for Britain to join the Western bombing of Syria, which he likened to a head down charge. He described his ideas for what to do as both redesigning the fundamentals of the trade union movement for the modern economy, and also supporting the revitalised Labour Party under its new leadership. His vision for a new way to do things in the labour movement is to get sectoral, rather than localised, organisation and negotiation, mobilising as much of the trade unions' six million members as possible.
The next speaker was Yannis Gourtsoyannis, a junior doctor and member of the British Medical Association junior doctors' committee, with a report on the historically unprecedented industrial struggle they have been engaged in. The government has partially backed off imposing new employment conditions on junior doctors, causing the BMA to call off the planned, and potentially massive, strike on December 1st, but Dr Gourtsoyannis said that the proposals would still expand hours and pay differentiation among them under the guise of providing "cost neutral" expanded 7-day services (it strongly reminded me of the attempt to get London Underground workers to provide Night Tube services without costing any extra money). The young doctor emphasised that what at stake was not just the conditions of the staff and the safety of service users, but that if the doctors win they will have forced a crack in the edifice of austerity ideology. The struggle continues.
The third speaker was Christine Blower, leader of the National Union of Teachers. She focused her speech on the NUT's firm belief in the power of social movement trades unionism, and said that the spirit of linking labour organisation to a wider political movement was had enabled successes such as the excellent June 20th demonstration this Summer. Blower gave the meeting some examples of the hardships that her teacher members were seeing amongst children in Cameron's Britain: encountering children who only eat their free school meals because they are not fed at home, and entire cohorts of children at school that disappear as their parents take them away fleeing sky-high urban rents.
Following the opening speakers, a range of policy motions were debated and agreed upon (see the People's Assembly website for these). BTUC and BAPS jointly moved a motion motion urging all member bodies to actively campaign to make all their local authorities into TTIP-free zones. The AGM unanimously agreed to get its local groups to raise petitions and bring motions to local and regional legislative bodies to get them to defy this secretive and menacing deal. This strategy is a real opportunity to redress the fact that TTIP has been largely ignored in the British media, and to raise awareness of TTIP among the public. This has already been done extensively in France, Germany and Spain, as well as 19 British authorities including Conservative run North Somerset.
The main part of the day closed with a key-note speech by socialist Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell, who received a rapturous welcome. McDonnell admitted that the mere eight weeks that have passed since Jeremy Corbyn became Labour leader have been a challenge, but that brave stands by the party are being vindicated. He praised the People's Assembly as essential part of the new politics that Jeremy promised to deliver, and said that these new politics is delivering. Although Parliament did vote for war a majority of Labour MPs and Shadow Cabinet members did vote "No" on a free vote, something McDonnell said he wished the Tories had allowed (only 7 Tory MPs defied the whipped vote on Wednesday).
This lead us well into the final session, which had been added to the agenda in response to the bombing of Syria. The People's Assembly affirmed opposition to war, and to help to build the Stop the War Coalition march on the following Saturday (12th of December) and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament demonstration on February 27th 2016.
On Monday 7 September at 8pm downstairs at the Bohemia Nick Dearden, Director of Global Justice Now and a leading member of the Greece solidarity campaign, will discuss the Greece crisis, its implications and what to do.
These events are public – all are welcome.
So far neither the political range of candidates for the Labour leadership nor the ideas they have voiced have set the world of progressive politics alight.
So if we want to use the selection of a new leader to excite people about the potential of socialist politics, then it's up to us to get this debate going.
I am launching this website to host a debate on the issues the Labour leadership candidates have to address and to promote some of the ideas and policies people think any new leader should adopt.
We start with a hard hitting analysis of Labour's electoral geography in last week' selection by Andrew Fisher, the Director of the Left Economic Advisory Panel.
If you would like to submit a paper on your ideas about what the Labour leadership candidates need to address, send us your ideas by emailing me on radical-labour@hotmail.com.
At the moment the choice of a new Labour leader is looking like a glamour contest between a group of candidates with little ideologically to choose between them.
Let's transform this leadership election into a real debate about the future of socialism, our party and our country.

Largest data center in the Baltics opens
The largest and most energy efficient data center in the region was opened on Feb 17, 2022 in Estonia. The building that cost nearly 40 million euros is the first of the three buildings to be built in the same area, all of which will contribute to the development of the Baltics' e-commerce and digital societies. Siemens has been the technology partner of Greenergy in the data center project.
"Data centers are the physical foundation of our current and future digital society, without which our way of life and business activities would be unthinkable. Greenergy's top-tier and high energy efficiency data center will increase the competitiveness of the Estonian economy and will create the necessary infrastructure for the digital transformation", said the Minister of Entrepreneurship and Information Technology Andres Sutt after participating in the opening.
According to him, up until now, there was no such high-level digital infrastructure in Estonia, and the new data center will remarkably increase the competitiveness of the companies of this area. It will also create favourable conditions for foreign companies to offer their services on the Estonian or Baltic market.
The top the world
Founding the Greenergy Data Centers took more than five years to get from its inception to opening, and experts from six countries participated in the process.
"The complex opened today conforms to all of the highest international security standards and aims at 25% higher energy efficiency than the market's average," said the author of the idea to create the data center, Kert Evert. "Technologically speaking, we are at the absolute top of the world."
Siemens as technology partner
The first building, opened today, spans 14,500 square metres. The total planned capacity of the complex is 31.5 MW – in other words, the center's electrical connections could cover the energy needs of a smaller town.
As the technology partner of the project Siemens delivered the solution for the electrification in the medium and low voltage with busbars to ensure reliable and safe power supply. In addition, the company has delivered a modern energy management solution. An integrated, large-scale and modular system suite optimizes energy use based on artificial intelligence, ensures the right conditions for servers, secures and monitors electricity distribution such as operation, quality and reliability and increases efficiency throughout the lifecycle, and minimizes the environmental impact of the data center.
Smart infrastructure solutions
"The need for smart infrastructure solutions is growing as data is required and used more and more to increase efficiency, flexibility, speed and quality. This is Siemens Osakeyhtiö's largest technology partnership in the area of data centers. Similar solutions can be delivered to very different needs and different sizes," says Jussi Mäntynen, Head of Electrification and Automation Business Nordic & Baltic, Siemens Osakeyhtiö.
Since the data center must be prepared for the unexpected and always function, every important support system of the complex is duplicated. In some places, back-up systems have their own back-up systems. The Three Seas Initiative Investment Fund provided funding for building the facility.

When I bought my Kindle a couple of years ago it was with the intention of having something to read on my way to work every morning. And maybe on vacation or long road trips. I never meant to use it at home and permanently replace the books with this device. Nor have I done so… completely. But what it has done is bring back my love of reading. Just because it is so easy to use and carry around, I can literally read wherever I am.
I love an amazing feature of the Kindle that no book will ever have: the ability to take notes and then search through those notes (once downloaded on a computer). It's a pleasure to relive the books that you've once read by only reading the meaningful excerpts. And as a matter of fact, I just did this a few days ago and realized I have completely forgotten most of my notes.
There was one book that I've always wanted to read thinking that it would completely change my outlook on life and relationships: John Gray's Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. Let's just say that apart from one or two insights, this book was as bland as a knitting workshop with a bunch of grandmas… Wait, that workshop sounds even more entertaining.
The book that I am currently reading is one of my favorites from the last years and it's called Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch. It's an extensive read considering it has three parts (I am just at the first one), and I will most likely write an entire post on it someday.
It makes for a very interesting read no matter your religion or how religious you are. Well… if you consider the Bible as holly as it can get, then you might be a little offended by this book. But if you keep an open mind and just stick to the points that this book is trying to make, and not how it is delivering its content (through an actual conversation with God), then you are good.
All in all, I will probably never quit using my Kindle and, what's most important, I will never have to upgrade it. As it happens with most gadgets, you tend to always buy the newest model because of some extra features. But this particular model of Kindle doesn't need any improvements. Battery lasts a month, the not lit screen is perfect for the eyes and the size is just right also, fits in my hand or travel bag perfectly. It doesn't do much, but what it does, it does beautifully. So that makes it a smart choice in my book.


Nigeria may not be a top-10 oil producer, but it is Africa's largest at almost two million barrels a day in 2016. While the country enjoys a diversified economy, the oil industry was responsible for 9% of economic activity in 2016, and foreign exchange and government revenue remains highly dependent on oil.
Oil exploration in Nigeria has been a slow process, with the early part of the 20th century yielding little of worth. It began in 1907, when the Nigerian Bitumen Corporation started exploratory work, although they later left when World War I broke out. Licenses were later awarded to two companies – Whitehall Petroleum and the D'Arcy Exploration Company – but these also returned their licences in 1923 after failing to find commercially exploitable oil.
In 1937, the newly formed Shell D'arcy Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (a consortium of what is now Shell and BP) started exploration after receiving a license. It was not until 1951 that the first test well was drilled, but no commercial quantities of oil were found until the discovery in Oloibiri in 1956. It had taken almost 50 years of sporadic exploration to find substantial oil reserves in Nigeria. Other important wells followed soon after, and crude oil production started in the late 1950s. Most of Nigeria's primary reserves are now clustered around the Niger Delta, although there are also some off-shore rigs in the oil-rich coastal region.
The late 1950s also saw non-British firms being granted licenses, and many of the big oil giants now have a presence there. ExxonMobil, for example, has two affiliates conducting upstream operations in Nigeria: Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited and Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria Ltd. Mobil Oil Nigeria, a third affiliate, handles downstream operations, such as supplying slideway lubricants like Mobil Vactra 2.
Production in Nigeria has periodically faltered recently as it struggled with militant attacks on its infrastructure, often taking it below Angola in terms of production. It dropped to just 1.27 million barrels a day in March 2017 due to militant attacks on its oil infrastructure and the shutdown of a major field.
Considerable production has been lost due to the attack on the Forcados export terminal in February 2016. Shell attempted to resume exports in October 2016 following repairs, but a subsequent act of sabotage forced it to close again the next month. The Nigerian government is apparently engaging with militants to restore peak production levels.

Eerily evocative, non-linear, and movement-driven, THE DREAM OF KITAMURA tells the ghostly, mythic tale of Lord Rosanjin, who believes he is marked for death by the demon Kitamura. His horror is so profound that he hires two bodyguards—but are they who they appear to be? And what of the icy Lady Zuma, and his petulant daughter Otsu? Danger lurks in the House of Rosanjin as great love kills great love.


The San Francisco-based online transportation giant has its service operated in many parts of the world. With the launch of the ridesharing service, it is easy to ride for the destination without any haste. Unlike the normal taxi service, the Uber cars are available anytime and they drop the riders at the requested destination without a bargain.
This ride-hailing service was started by Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp in 2009 with its headquarters in San Francisco, California.
The riders were able to book their ride with the help of the mobile app that was introduced by the company and the app is available for both the Apple and Android app users.
The drivers those who are working under the brand are not employees, but they are independent contractors who work for the company with their own vehicle. They do not enjoy the benefits of the normal employee, like the retirement plan or the health care insurance or other benefits.
The people who own a vehicle and wish to work for Uber can download the app and register themselves and start taking trips.
The drivers have flexible timing, so they can work as a full time or part time drivers and earn more money. The drivers have to undergo a verification process that involves the background verification, fingerprint registration and they should possess a driver's license and must have a certificate of the one-day training program conducted by the company.
The riders have to download the mobile app on their smartphone and register in the app, the registration process asks the riders for the personal details and the payment details of the payment process.
To book the ride, the ride has to type the pickup and destination place and send the request. The request is sent to the drivers those who are near the location so that the rider need not wait for a long time.
Once when the driver accepts the ride, the rider receives a notification on their mobile phone along with the details of the driver with their photo. So the rider can be aware of the person who is going to ferry them.
At the end of the ride, the rider need not pay cash or find changes to tip the driver; instead, they can make payment using the card.
The pricing in the online ridesharing service is similar to that of the normal taxis, but the payment and the hiring process are handled by the Uber app (Android). The prices are calculated on the time basis, but in some of the cities the price is calculated on the basis of the distance and at the end of the ride, and the prices are automatically billed to the rider's credit card.
The Uber pricing is comparatively lesser than the normal taxi price and the service is a punctual and reliable service.
In some countries, the card payment is not used by all the people, so the company introduced the cash system that allowed people of all strata to ride the vehicle. Some of the countries that make use of the cash payment system are Africa, Singapore, India and etc.
In 2015, the new cash system was introduced in Hyderabad, India and the project received great attention from the public. The Airtel mobile service partnered with the online ridesharing service and allowed the people to make use of the mobile wallet service to pay the taxi fare and the riders were able to access 4G internet service at free of cost.
After the legislation order, in 2016 the drivers were allowed to carry a sign board that reads that they accept tips because earlier the ridesharing service did not allow its drivers to receive tips from the riders.
The online transportation company uses an automated algorithm that is used to increase the taxi fare according to the variation in the demand and supply in the market. This also attracts more drivers to trip during the increased demand.
The riders will be notified during the surge pricing and they can either continue or cancel their ride. The surge pricing is often seen during the festival and holiday times, busy hours, inclement in weather and during disasters.
There was outrageous situation taken place because of the surge pricing were in 2011 New Year's eve the pricing was 7 times more than the normal range.
However, the economic efficiency increased in 2 ways, one is that when there is a limitation in the number of drivers, the riders with the highest demand alone request for the service and the other thing is that it motivates the drivers to take more trips because of the increase in the price.
This increase in the piecing during increased demand is common in all the markets, but the online ridesharing company makes its operation transparent to its riders.
The transportation company has faced several disputes in the United States and many other parts of the world. The company is known for violating the governmental and transportation rules that are set by the local government and the authority.
The ridesharing service follows the carpooling service that allows the riders to share their ride with the other riders who are traveling the same direction. This reduces the number of vehicles on the road and also the price range is lesser that the regular Uber ride.
The Taxi Association and the taxi drivers were against the ridesharing service because of their pricing concept and the regulatory issues. Thus protests and strikes broke out in France, Africa, Australia and some parts of the United States.
Despite the regulatory issues and disputes, the ridesharing company is quite popular among the riders all over the world.
The main advantage of the company is that it provides its service to all parts of the cities including the places where the normal taxis do not offer service. In the remote and the suburbs, the normal taxi service is not available because the chance of getting another trip during the return is very less. So, Uber decided to provide service to all the suburbs and make transportation affordable for all the people.
The company introduced the UberCommute service in 2015 in Chengdu, China and received more response that is similar to that of the ones in New York.
The main problem in the regulation is that the government does not allow the drivers to earn more than a specific fare. The company started the service in Chicago and said that the service will be frequently available in the suburban areas.
Earlier, requesting the ride from the suburbs was a difficult task, but the new service allows the riders to easily cover the destination within ten to twenty minutes. The drivers are also ready to commute to riders from and to the suburbs and make Uber a public transport.
This new service helps the people to easily commute to their work and day to day activities and the cost of the pricing is also lower than the other services or transports. After the success of the pilot project, the company introduced the service in many suburbs in major countries and are receiving good responses.

As I put this blank sheet of electronic paper on to my electronic desktop, I wonder what new twist, what new angle, what new sketch can I draw about AIDS? What can I possibly conjure up to tickle the story of the last thirty-plus years that could possibly do the experience justice and not repeat the thousand other versions that have been offered?
Then I begin to remember the years that came before 1980, the year when my conversion from HIV-negative to HIV-positive occurred. I know this date of conversion because of the blood samples kept on file at the CDC from the visits to the City Clinic to treat the STDs I had encountered as part of the "gay freedom" days of the 1970s here in San Francisco.
During those years, a new way of thinking was being formed. One that began to realize on a larger scale that "we" didn't just mean those that looked and acted like us or lived in our hometown or state or country. It broadened that "we" to include all those who live on this planet. At least that's what the seventies were about for me. It was a "mind blowing" time. By mental and moral experimentation the world seemed to transform and consciousness was raised.
By 1970, I had begun a path that led me to the psychedelic revolution and "freedom." I was led to the Castro and the other gay enclaves that cropped up and attracted men of our particular bent.
The seventies gave me the experiences I needed to make peace with my "difference," to understand what it is like to live a style that had been repressed for all of my earlier years, to be "out and proud" of my difference. I witnessed a sexual transformation in society that allowed a group who had been forced to the sidelines to suddenly find their public voice. I was a cog in that wheel of and for change. There were many voices heard in this new world, filled with courage, passion, determination, anger, rebellion, political action and eventually, shock and awe. The assassination of Harvey. The onset of AIDS.
And then came 1980, the beginning of the AIDS years. The focus began to switch.
Prior to 1980 or so, "Gay Power" was evolving to politically challenge stigma, exclusion, harassment and general misunderstanding or who or what homosexuals and homosexuality were. Suddenly Harvey Milk was killed and our momentum needed a new leader. Many were around to continue his work, but before any reorganization could coalesce significantly, AIDS began killing off the members of the movement and everything changed for the dark. The prior productive years of bringing homosexuality "out of the closet" were eclipsed by a virus.
Harvey's assassination was a big hit, but one that could be overcome by the momentum he led. There were other leaders in the group who could step up and for a couple of years it looked really hopeful. Then came ARC, GRID, HIV and finally AIDS. The group began to disappear. Just staying alive became critical. "Fighting for our Rights" became "Fighting for our Lives". When a leader is lost, others can step up, but when the group is lost, well….
In 1980, I was living in Houston and remember waking up one morning around 3 a.m. in a sweat like I had never experienced before. Everything was soaked and it seemed sweat was coming out of my fingernails. That was the moment that I believe the virus went from forty-nine percent to fifty-one percent and my HIV-positive "adventure" was on. I fell back asleep and awoke the next morning feeling fine. Little did I know at that point about how long and how slowly the virus would take until it debilitated me. That occurred in 1996, when I collapsed with three diseases. The doctor said, "I've seen all three of these diseases but never in the same person at the same time. I can only give you a 50/50 chance at combatting them." After three weeks in the hospital, I was released. We succeeded in pushing back in time the end I'm so clearly heading for.
Most of the time "positive" is a good thing. I'm positive all persons should be treated equally, and yet, I have experienced otherwise. I'm positive that AIDS created a perfect opportunity for all to demonstrate the principles of caring and community I was taught as a kid, and yet, I have experienced otherwise. I'm positive that inside all of us somewhere is a concept of a heart that brims with compassion and grace, and yet, I have experienced otherwise. I was positive that my government was supportive and protective of its citizens, yet, during the "AIDS years," I have experienced otherwise.
Back in 1985, when my test results came back HIV-positive, I didn't even flinch. What else could I expect knowing I had been a heavy participant in the explosive gay sexual revolution. I began at that time a race to give all I could as fast as I could for the next two years that I was predicted to live. It worked out differently and I became a long-time survivor of AIDS. Culminating more recently in being one of the featured participants in the San Francisco Chronicle's project and documentary Last Men Standing, another powerful tribute to surviving with AIDS.
There is a life here still, but it has been gutted by the betrayal of my country in its response to AIDS. I, and those like me living the "surviving" game, no longer are certain that the rights and privileges we fought so hard for will not be taken away. Daily we are bombarded by reports of the easy erosion of the gains attained on the backs of the now dead.
Living is much less the adventure it once was and the recognition that it won't get better makes "being lucky I lived" a bit of a hollow victory. I no longer worry for me, but for those who will come. They may not realize the fragility of what we accomplished and through apathy and naiveté will awaken all too late to the past being repeated.
Harry Breaux is a native of Louisiana and was active in the hippie movement of the early seventies. He moved to a commune in Oregon and then settled in San Francisco, where, as a thirty-seven-year long-term survivor of AIDS, was honored to be in the San Francisco Chronicle's documentary Last Men Standing.


Orange mixed with sage is one of my favorite winter flavor combinations. It is particularly good in this cheese spread. If it is available, I use Laura Chenel's chèvre for the creamiest texture and best flavor. The spread can be served on crostini or with crackers. It is delicious on bagels and terrific with cured salmon on rye or pumpernickel. Double the recipe if you are feeding a crowd.
In a food processor combine cheeses, butter, orange zest, and juice. Pulse until mixture is creamy and smooth. Scrape down the processor bowl with a spatula, then add remaining ingredients. Pulse until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. Place in a serving bowl and chill until ready to serve. Serves 6-8.

I've never tried orange and sage together before. I can't wait to try this!
Natalie, it is a great marriage of flavors along with the tang of goat cheese. Enjoy.

The Iori River and its associated gallery forest are essential elements of the fragile Georgian steppe ecosystem. Home to magnificent birds of prey, wolves, bears and gazelles, and bordered by steppes and barren 'badlands', this dramatic landscape is currently threatened by unsustainable agriculture and the remnants of former Soviet infrastructure. A new landscape restoration project will revitalise this steppe-riverine ecosystem, while enabling local pastoralists to manage the land sustainably in the long-term.
The Iori River, and the gallery forest which stretches along the valley, are integral parts of South East Georgia's steppe ecosystem - vast, biodiversity-rich grasslands, punctuated by scrub-covered ridges, dominate the landscape. As the region's only permanent water source, most large vertebrates inhabiting the steppes including lynx, wolf, brown bear and Persian gazelle, are directly dependent on the Iori River.
The river shapes the dynamics of the landscape by creating periodic wetlands and transporting nutrients from the mountains to the lowlands. The gallery forest which runs along the Iori riverbed acts as a wildlife corridor, providing breeding sites and core habitat for many species including the endangered Egyptian vulture, Saker falcon and Eastern imperial eagle.
Despite the area's protected status, habitats have been degraded by inefficient land-use practices, resulting in biodiversity loss and a decrease in the land's ability to support livestock. During the Soviet era, logging for firewood and the transformation of woodland into pasture drastically reduced coverage of the gallery forest. Tolerated in the absence of an alternative source of fuel, illegal firewood harvesting continues today in the Chachuna Managed Reserve, whilst unregulated grazing has led to widespread degradation and prevented natural regeneration. An abandoned dam project from the late 1980s (the Dali reservoir) also disrupt flood patterns and reduce surface flow and sediment load. The steppe areas themselves have been subjected to over-stocking with livestock, causing overgrazing, erosion and competition with native herbivores.
Despite this degradation, the landscape is relatively intact, and connectivity to other areas in the Caucasus Biodiversity Hotspot creates an opportunity for restoration. Few major roads cross this area, towns are small, very few lands are fenced, and no major infrastructure projects have been undertaken except the now defunct Soviet-era irrigation system – all factors that help make successful restoration a possibility.
Within the Chachuna Managed Reserve, this project will initiate restoration of the natural dynamics of the Iori River, significantly improving the condition of gallery forest along its length in Georgia. It will also lay the foundations for a rotational grazing scheme that will reduce overgrazing of the biodiversity-rich steppes. The restoration of native biodiversity will increase the resilience of ecosystems and improve the livelihoods of local communities.


Obuasi, May 28, GNA - President John Agyekum Kufuor on Friday asked mining companies operating in the country to make inputs that would assist all stakeholders in forging a partnership to promote growth in the mining industry through the new Mining Law. He said such inputs should also ensure the establishment of a durable and harmonious relationship beneficial to all stakeholders. President Kufuor made the call when launching AngloGold Ashanti at Obuasi, in the Adansi West District. The managements of both AngloGold of South Africa and Ashanti Goldfields Company (AGC) of Ghana concluded agreement for the merger in April this year after negotiations had begun in 1999.
The merger has resulted in the creation of an African giant in the mining industry with a market capitalisation of about 10 billion dollars.
AngloGold Ashanti now operates 22 mines in 11 countries including Ghana, Brazil, the US, Australia, Mali, Guinea and South Africa. President Kufuor asked the companies in addition, to continue to sharpen their sensitivity to the needs and realistic aspirations of the communities in which they operate.
"In particular, the need for mining companies to forge important linkages with the local economy while they work together towards a much improved business environment, cannot be over-emphasised", he added. President Kufuor commended the management of AngloGold Ashanti for their resolve in the control and treatment of HIV/AIDS and malaria in the communities where they operate.
He said the merger of the two companies had ushered Ghana and Africa onto the global business scene in an appropriate manner. President Kufuor said the government endorsed the merger because it saw the proposition as a way of promoting the country's private sector and also proving to the world's investor community that Ghana was a congenial investment destination.
He said over the last couple of years two other mining companies had taken some giant steps in the country.
They include Newmont Mining Company, currently reputed to be the world's leading gold producer, which is preparing to construct two gold mines in the Eastern and Brong Ahafo region.
President Kufuor said Goldfields Ghana Limited, operating the Tarkwa and Damang mines in the Wassa District in the Western Region was investing an additional 500 million dollars to expand its existing operations in Ghana.
"These developments will create hundreds f job opportunities for our youth and also utilize the indisputable mining skills available in the country", he added.
Dr Sam Jonah, President of AngloGold Ashanti said the merger had certainly represented a high point in the relationship between Ghana and South Africa, adding" together we have succeeded in creating a world leader from Africa".

Looks exactly like the photo and high quality! The material is double-lined so it is not see through. It is a bit big on me but only slightly. Still very cute regardless!
Really like this! I have a small bust and wore a padded bra in the picture. If i didn't it would have been baggy and might fall off. I love the shirt and the quality it is really soft just a bit big for a small. I am 5'3" and 130lb and i would recommend a xs for anyone around this size. I might also cut the strings cause they are really long.
I am 5'7", 145lbs, size 34B bra and bought a medium. it fits pretty well, a little loose if anything but I love it! the material very soft and seems thin but I can wear a black strapless bra under it with not problems. would recommend this top.
Fits well but I definitely recommend getting a size up, super thick great material.

Boeing traces problem with Starliner parachute system to an unsecured pin
by Alan Boyle on November 7, 2019 at 1:38 pm November 7, 2019 at 2:03 pm

For want of a pin, the use of a spaceship's parachute was lost.
That may be a simplistic way to explain why one of the three parachutes on Boeing's CST-100 Starliner space taxi failed to open. It does, however, serve as a cautionary tale about the one obvious glitch in Monday's pad abort test of the Starliner, a craft that's due to start transporting NASA astronauts to and from the International Space Station next year.
Overall, the test was judged a success: The uncrewed Starliner fired the rocket engines on its launch abort system, slowed its descent with the aid of the two parachutes that did open, and deployed its airbags to make a perfectly acceptable landing at the U.S. Army's White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
If there had been crew aboard, and if an emergency involving the Starliner's Atlas 5 rocket were to come up on the Florida launch pad, the astronauts would have made a safe escape and landing — as a splashdown in the Atlantic rather than a touchdown in the desert.
"This was a robust test of what the vehicle could do if we had an issue on the pad. A huge test," Kathy Lueders, program manager for NASA's Commercial Crew Program, said today during a teleconference reviewing the pad abort test.
The glitch involving the third parachute wasn't serious enough to force a delay for the Starliner's first uncrewed test flight to the space station and back, set for launch no earlier than Dec. 17. Nevertheless, it was important for Boeing's engineers to determine the root cause and take steps to avoid having the anomaly happen again.
John Mulholland, vice president and program manager of Boeing's Commercial Crew Program, said the Starliner team quickly identified the root cause: the lack of a secure connection between the main chute and the pilot chute that was supposed to pull it out of the spacecraft.
In response to a question, Mulholland said the problem came down to a pin that's supposed to be inserted through a loop on the end of a parachute line.
"That pin wasn't through the loop," he said.
Close-out crews missed spotting the problem because the lines and their connections were tucked away within protective covers. But a review of photos taken during the close-out process, as well as an inspection of the hardware recovered from this week's test, pinpointed what went wrong, Mulholland said.
He said Boeing's team have taken "a number of fairly easy steps" to make sure the parachute linkages are secure in the future. For example, engineers will conduct "pull tests" — which sounds as if they'll be yanking on the lines to make sure they're properly attached.
The Starliner team is also double-checking the 18 critical linkages in the parachute lines on the Starliner craft that's due for launch next month, Mulholland said.
He said all but three of those linkages have been verified over the past couple of days, and he expects those remaining three to be verified as well. "We have 100% confidence in the parachute," Mulholland said.
Overall, the Starliner's performance was "outstanding," Mulholland said. Some observers may have wondered about a spurt of reddish nitrogen tetroxide propellant that emanated from the capsule during its descent, but Mulholland said those leftovers are released "by design."
Engineers will pore over the data from this week's test for the next week and a half.
If everything checks out, NASA and Boeing will move ahead with next month's launch of the uncrewed Starliner from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. And if that test proceeds smoothly, a demonstration mission is expected to send two NASA astronauts and a Boeing test pilot to the space station next year.
Meanwhile, SpaceX is proceeding with tests of its Crew Dragon spaceship, which is also on track to start launching astronauts to the space station next year.
An uncrewed in-flight abort test is expected to take place by the end of December. In preparation for that high-altitude test, SpaceX is planning an on-the-ground static-fire test of the Crew Dragon's thruster system on Saturday. A similar test went awry in April, adding months of delay to SpaceX's development schedule.
