Nepal impact fund halfway to target
Dolma Impact Fund, the Nepal-focused private equity fund, held a first close on $21 million last week and is targeting agribusinesses across the value chain.
Rebecca Akrofie
Dolma Impact Fund, a private equity fund focused on impact investments in Nepal, is just over halfway to its $40 million target, having held a first close on $21 million last week.
The fund has so far attracted commitments from development finance institutions from Europe and some high net worth individuals. But the fund is now targeting more high net worth individuals and family offices.
"We'd like to remain attractive to all types of LPs including institutional and development finance institutions, which form the majority of our first close. For our final close we are also interested in opening the fund to family offices and high net worth individuals, especially those with a vertical interest in our sectors such as agriculture and clean energy and/ or the region of South Asia itself,"
Tim Gocher, chairman and co-founder of Dolma Impact Fund, told Agri Investor.
The fund has a five year investment period over its 10 year life, with investments ranging from $500,000 to $3 million per project. It hopes to invest in 12-15 projects overall and expects to make two within the first two years, according to Gocher.
The fund is not using a placement agent to source opportunities, but is employing a strategy it believes will put the finance element of the fund first, and deliver appealing returns to investors, said Gocher.
Target investments within agri are agribusinesses that also generate jobs and businesses for downstream enterprises in the value chain. "An example of an agribusiness we're interested in is a livestock feed company," Gocher told Agri Investor. "Making an investment there would link the company to regional farmers that can buy and sell the feed themselves. That helps to improve the supply chain within Nepal, rather than importing everything from other countries like India."
The macroeconomic attraction is also compelling according to Gocher. "Many Nepalis work as migrant workers inthe GCC Middle East countries, Malaysia and elsewhere" he said. "They send hard currency to their families providing them with disposable income which, in the first instance, will be used to buy food."
Gocher first considered using his investment experience – he worked at JP Morgan and Deloitte in the past – and his family links to Nepal to do some good after the civil war ended in 2006; a war that paralysed foreign investment into the country.
"On a macro level, we're looking to develop an institutional investment track record for Nepal. We want to positively impact how capital markets view Nepal and that goal has garnered important support from the Nepali government and regulators," he said.
Gocher founded and managed the Dolma Development Fund in 2003, a non-profit operation providing education and healthcare facilities to Nepali villages in remote locations. But this is the first time he has launched a return-seeking impact fund.
Dolma will use local newspaper advertisements to source some of its deals.

Currier & Viva & Lives & Ives?
by BMINT STAFF
February 16, 2020 January 28, 2019 by BMINT STAFF
The local musical cosmos will presently be aligning for the eminent and much-awarded American composer Sebastian Currier. He answers our interviewer's question, "are you getting rather cosmic?" below the break.
Next Saturday, Boston Musica Viva, Currier in attendance, delivers a musical program calling sharp attention to the challenges facing all of us citizens of Earth and featuring the world premiere of his Eleven Moons. Commissioned for BMV and soprano Zorana Sadiq by Chamber Music America, Currier's work incorporates perspectives from moon-related texts from science, poetry, fiction, religion, and fable. Other pieces at the February 2 BMV concert include Deborah and Richard Cornell's Wind Driven, a stunning multimedia work on climate change; Brian Robison's Bonfire of the Civil Liberties, a sardonic look at xenophobia in the name of patriotism and the atrocities at Abu Ghraib; Michael Gandolfi's Budget Cuts, "a septet for three players and conductor" which takes the arts fiscal squeeze from diminishing public funding to a comical and poignant extreme; and the premiere of Viva!, a bagatelle by Ellen Taaffe Zwilich in honor of BMV's 50th anniversary.
Two months later, May 2th-4th, Currier's new violin concerto, Aether, will be premiered by Baiba Skride with the BSO conducted by Andris Nelsons (a co-commission with the Gewandhaus Orchestra). The concerto, too, explores otherworldly concepts. Its four movements are contained within an aura of sound, an aether, which "For much of the 18th and 19th centuries … was thought to be an invisible substance that pervaded all of universe between celestial bodies," notes Currier, turning 60 next month. As he has had a fruitful collaboration with Anne Sophie Mutter, composing for violin comes naturally; in fact, his third world premiere this spring is a new trio that Mutter will perform at Carnegie Hall. Specifically, March 12th at 8pm Currier's Ghost Trio is premiered by violinist Mutter, with cellist Daniel Müller-Schott and pianist Lambert Orkis, in Carnegie Hall, and they repeat work March 17th at 3pm in Chicago's Symphony Center. In April Currier's 2014 orchestral work Divisions, commemorating World War I, is performed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra led by Ludovic Morlot (April 12th at 10:45am, April 13th at 8pm, and April 14th at 3pm).
Currier was raised in Providence in a musical family. He received a DMA from Juilliard and taught at Columbia from 1999 to 2007. Among his many honors and awards are the Berlin and Rome prizes, a Guggenheim, a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, an Academy Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition. He has held residencies at the MacDowell and Yaddo colonies. He was artist in residence at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study from 2013 to 2016, which spurred scientific interests. "Eleven Moons is a song cycle based on these many projections we imprint on Earth's closest neighbor. I have chosen fragments from various texts—including Wikipedia entries, the Upanishads, passages from Shelley, Poe, and the Brothers Grimm, and a quote from Neil Armstrong—all of which I hope will give a sense of the breadth of perspectives from which we view our lovely celestial neighbor." More biography is available HERE.
BMInt's publisher goes way back with Sebastian Currier and spoke with him recently.
FLE: In 2003 we first met in the context of the world-premiere performance of your Pulse, which the Harvard Musical Association commissioned on behalf of violist Kim Kashkashian and guitarist Elliott Fisk. As I drove you and your father past the Bunker Hill Monument afterward, he remarked that your forbears had fought there. I went him one better and cited my ancestors who paid for the battle. So with those early American beginnings, why haven't you produced any Currier and Ives? And which Ives?
SC: Ah, yes! I do remember that moment. But if your question is somehow whether lineage is destiny, then my situation is a little more complicated. Though my father's family were very early settlers in the Colonies, my mother's family were Jewish immigrants, who came from Russia after the Revolution. And maybe that does fit for my music — I feel I always try to bring different elements together and have them coexist peacefully side by side. As far as Currier & Ives, you're not the first to make that reference. But the only time I remember an actual performance that programmed a piece of mine next to a piece of Ives was with Hugh Wolff, though it took place in Leipzig, and not a single German had ever heard of Currier & Ives! Oh well, maybe another time.
I hadn't heard your music again since Sivan Magen on harp and Itamar Golan played your Night Time in 2017 at HMA. But you've been productive in the interim. And there is a performance crescendo happening in the next few months, where in Boston alone we will be getting to hear two major works of yours for the first time. Boston Musica Viva's The Earth Under Attack on February 2nd opens with your Eleven Moons for soprano and chamber orchestra. When BMV notes that it features an array of humankind's perspectives in the context of the show title, it somehow suggests War of the Worlds or The Day the Earth Stood Still. Is this a message piece? What does it tell us?
Truthfully, I think they developed the idea after I had already started working on the piece but was still trying to figure out what shape it would take. But to draw some connection, I think the moon has a way of taking us out of the here and now. It makes us think more broadly about the world. I remember once some evening walking up out of the subway and inadvertently staring up to see a full moon shining above the buildings — at the moment I realized that nothing was really the way I thought it was. We get so fixated on our terrestrial reality and so easily forget (probably because we want to!) that we are on a little chunk of rock within an immense, strange and baffling universe. In this way, it can bring us to think about how vulnerable the Earth is. But as I say, I wasn't really thinking so directly about this. It was more about how we project our desires and fantasies on the moon. There are endless interesting texts about the moon. At one point I almost thought I'd contact BMV and ask if the piece could be an hour long — but then I came to my senses (it's 20 minutes).
You have a thing with top female violinists. You and Anne Sophie Mutter have advocated much for each other, and indeed this March in New York and Chicago she will debut your Ghost Trio. That piece resonates with passing references to canonical works of Schubert, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn, apparently. What would those composers think?
Yes, I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with ASM over many years now. She's just so wonderful in every way. And yes, in my piece there are ghosts lurking — in the form of short, fleeting, sometimes obvious, sometimes obscure quotes from a number of major trios from the 19th century. As for your question, well, my guess would be this: Beethoven would be angry, Schubert surprised, Mendelssohn would think it was cool, and Brahms wouldn't let on what he thought.
Another violinist brings a new work of yours to life in May, as the BSO will be offering your concerto Aether, co-commissioned by the BSO and Leipzig Gewandhaus for Baiba Skride, which is contained within "an atmospheric aura of sound, … aether thought to be an invisible substance that pervaded all of universe between celestial bodies." Eleven Moons, Ghost, and Aether … are you getting rather cosmic? Is this a stage? early, middle or late Currier?
Who knows? Maybe! Though I think these are strains in my music that can be found in previous works too. I've always had an interest in science and wondered if it could become the source of material in musical works in a way analogous to how religious texts have in past brought forth so much amazing vocal music, etc. I have a piece, Night Mass, that directly addresses this. It uses text from the Latin mass but replaces the Credo, the core of belief, with a scientific description of the world, and in doing so replaces certainty with doubt.
I've also written a piece I like to think of as a set of intergalactic love songs, called Deep-Sky Objects, with a text by the wonderful writer Sarah Manguso. I've also always been drawn to ethereal sound worlds. Quietude and intimacy are very appealing. Part of me would like to write nothing but very quiet, ethereal music — but then the other part of me wouldn't!

Airstrikes Threat On Syria! Third World War? No War But The Class War! (Třídní válka)
325 receives and transmits the latest text by the militant left-radical group Třídní válka about the situation in Syria. PDF version.
More than 110,000 dead, two million of refugees in nearby countries, more than three million internally displaced, 130,000 arrested or missing, tons of bombs, missiles, shells, cluster bombs… This is the reality of war in Syria since two and a half years!
And as if this materialization of permanent war of capitalism against the proletariat was not enough, the mainstream bourgeois media announced us on August 21st the "ultimate horror": chemical weapons were used in a suburb of Damascus, killing more than 1,300 people, some 3,600 others were wounded.
The Syrian regime is accused of this, and it's true that it would not be its first slaughter since it had already proven what it is able to do in terms of repression. Others accuse groups of "rebels", and more precisely jihadists militarily supported by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. (more…)

Massacre and Revolution in Libya
An anarchist call for solidarity
The news that is flooding from Libya is very shocking. Qaddafi's regime is perpetrating a horrible massacre against the masses in revolt, the mercenaries (the equivalent to the Mubarak regime's 'Baltajia') recruited by Qaddafi's regime, besides the regular army and security forces, are opening fire at unarmed Libyan people or, in some cases, armed with only very light firearms. The regime's repressive forces are not only using firearms, but also artillery, tanks, jet fighters and gunship helicopters. In a military sense, this cannot be a war. In fact, it is just a horrible massacre conducted by the Qaddafi regime under the supervision of the imperialist powers in Europe and US but, as ever, those powers are concerned only about oil and money, only about profit, not human rights or even human lives.

Remembering Dalal al-Mughrabi, symbol of the struggle for liberation (Palestine)
Dalal al-Mughrabi, a Palestinian fighter who became a legend for many years, led a group of 12 fighters in one of the most talked about attacks against Israeli forces 33 years ago.
Dalal is still seen by Palestinians and Arabs as a hero and an outstanding fighter. "Dalal will never be forgotten as she will remain an admirable symbol of the Palestinian women's struggle and an example to be emulated by young Palestinian men and women who will pursue the armed struggle until the liberation of Palestine" says her mother.
On March 11, 1978, Dalal along with her group of fighters managed to infiltrate the Lebanese-Israeli border to the coastal plain near Tel Aviv using rubber dinghy boats. She and her comrades destroyed the boats the moment they reached the coast. It was a one-way trip, as they had returned home to stay. They hijacked an Israeli military bus and took its passengers, some three dozen soldiers, as hostages after driving the bus along the coastal highway to the colony of Herzliya, where a nine-hour battle took place between them and Israeli forces. The group was killed in the fighting, so were the majority of the Israeli soldiers on the bus.
After killing Dalal al-Mughrabi, Israeli commander Ehud Barak (now Deputy Prime Minister of Israel) unclothed her in front of the cameras, fondled her breasts, stuck the bayonet of his rifle into her body and performed other atrocities on intimate parts of her body.
Dalal al-Mughrabi, the 20-year old woman, who had never seen her homeland until the moment of her death, was born in the refugee camp of Sabra in Lebanon in 1958. After Dalal's death, her mother said that she preferred that her daughter's body be buried in Palestine.
Three decades after her death, Dalal is still seen by Palestinians and Arabs as a hero and an outstanding fighter. In a message she sent shortly before she died, Dalal appealed during the last gasp of her life to Palestinian factions to point their guns to their enemy – Israel, and not to get involved in internal fighting. She inspired thousands of young Palestinian and Lebanese women to follow in her footsteps, such as Sana Muhaidaly, Yvonne Abboud, Wafa Edris, Ayat Al Akhras and Hanadi Jaradat among others.
According to her mother, who was speaking to an Arabic TV channel "Dalal will never be forgotten as she will remain an admirable symbol of the Palestinian women's struggle and an example to be emulated by young Palestinian men and women who will pursue the armed struggle until the liberation of Palestine."
325 takes a clear class struggle position in regard to the question of national liberation and advocates a non-state solution to the question of Israeli aggression and domination of the region. Long live the memory of all insurgent fighters against oppression – Victory to those who still continue. For global intifada and social war.

The kokanee salmon fishing season is just getting started.
BOISE — Prized for their fighting ability and great table fare, kokanee salmon's popularity continues to grow across the West. That trend includes Idaho, and for good reason: Fish and Game manages quality kokanee fisheries around the state, including in a trio of destinations — the kokanee silver triangle.
Lucky Peak, Arrowrock and Anderson Ranch — three reservoirs in the Boise River system — provide some of the best kokanee fishing the state has to offer, and the 2019 season is just getting started.

Involved in DNA damage response and in transcriptional regulation through histone methyltransferase (HMT) complexes. Plays a role in early development. In DNA damage response is required for cell survival after ionizing radiation. In vitro shown to be involved in the homologous recombination mechanism for the repair of double-strand breaks (DSBs). Its localization to DNA damage foci requires RNF8 and UBE2N. Recruits TP53BP1 to DNA damage foci and, at least in particular repair processes, effective DNA damage response appears to require the association with TP53BP1 phosphorylated by ATM at 'Ser-25'. Together with TP53BP1 regulates ATM association. Proposed to recruit PAGR1 to sites of DNA damage and the PAGR1:PAXIP1 complex is required for cell survival in response to DNA damage; the function is probably independent of MLL-containing histone methyltransferase (HMT) complexes. However, this function has been questioned (By similarity). Promotes ubiquitination of PCNA following UV irradiation and may regulate recruitment of polymerase eta and RAD51 to chromatin after DNA damage. Proposed to be involved in transcriptional regulation by linking MLL-containing histone methyltransferase (HMT) complexes to gene promoters by interacting with promoter-bound transcription factors such as PAX2. Associates with gene promoters that are known to be regulated by KMT2D/MLL2. During immunoglobulin class switching in activated B-cells is involved in trimethylation of histone H3 at 'Lys-4' and in transcription initiation of downstream switch regions at the immunoglobulin heavy-chain (Igh) locus; this function appears to involve the recruitment of MLL-containing HMT complexes. Conflictingly, its function in transcriptional regulation during immunoglobulin class switching is reported to be independent of the MLL2/MLL3 complex (By similarity).

Not Quite Sure If You Need A Class?
With hundreds of questions in our PMP practice exams, it's a great way to get started in preparing for an EdWel PMP course.
The Edwel PMP boot camp is an absolute must. I took the boot camp last Monday thru Thursday and I passed my PMP, on my first attempt, on Friday afternoon. My instructor, Myra Baskerville, was amazing!
My 4-day Edwel boot camp was excellent. I leveraged the course as somewhat of a capstone to my preparation period. I took the exam the very next day after the boot camp ended, and passed.
I took my bootcamp last week with Asad Haque and passed the next day. Asad was easily one of the best instructors I've ever had. If he is your instructor, you will pass this test.

Communications Basics: Market research is wrong most of the time.
As Election Day approached, the opponents of California's Proposition 8 were exulting. polls showed the ballot initiative was heading for a significant defeat. The champagne was put on ice for the celebration as gay marriage would not be allowed in the nations largest and most liberal state. The morning after it was confirmed. Prop. 8 had passed. The opponents were aghast. How could that have happened?
Very simply, the polls were wrong. In fact, according to studies over the past 15 years, polls are the worst form of understanding popular opinion, either for political of commercial purposes. The studies show that human beings generally don't know what they really want or think at any given moment, Yet organizations continue to rely on them to make decisions on marketing. So if accepted market research doesn't work, how can a company or organization make those decisions?
It's not that difficult, actually. First you build their trust, and then you ask if you can hang around them for a while, watch what they do and then make a few suggestions regarding how they might make what they do easier. This is the essence of social media. And it works. But it takes work and getting out of your comfort zone regarding controlling the market conversation.
It is that simple. It is also very hard to do.
The problem for most organizations is that no one has been trained to tell stories. Most people are trained in other disciplines. Some might have an innate ability to communicate, but likely it hasn't been fostered... and there are other things to do. Moreover, most people don't really know what story will engage your audience.
That's why I think journalists may yet have a career in front of them. It's just not going to be where they thought they were going to be. It's going to be in businesses either as freelancers or journalistic ombudsmen that work inside of companies. Those are the people that study how to create informative, engaging content. It's not going to be the VP of engineering drafting a press release or a sales executive cranking out yet another brochure or a marketer hammering on a power point presentation.

Hi Lou - lovely post and there is a lot of truth in what you say - but social media doesn't always get it right either. The classic example is the referendum to change the voting system in the UK - about 76% of tweets around that time were in favour of a change but the proposal got defeated by a margin of about 60-40. The reason - Twitterers belong to a specific socio-economic group not representative of the population as a whole. Social media can be hugely effective but you need to be sure that you know who you're actually talking to and that they are actually representative of your target customer / investor / voter .... base.
That's very true, but when it comes to polls, the most accurate are those taken at the polling stations. And the only value of social media is the conversation you can have, which is my point, with the audience. Twitter is way too unidirectional to be of value from what I can see. But you can gather a ton of information about your audience on Facebook and Linkedin just by getting involved in a conversation with them. With Prop 8 opponents, that was their mistake. They used Twitter and the polls to determine if they war making inroads, but all they got was an echo chamber.

While vehicles with high power and upgrades have an advantage in-game, players with the best race strategy have the ultimate advantage in winning. There are numerous options available for the players to choose from a large collection of superpower vehicles. Players can utilize the platform's native token $HYPO to purchase in-game assets and for staking.
In Hyper League, different vehicles of different categories have their own advantages on the racing track. In this game, players can test out each vehicle's unique characteristics on the track while competing online. These attributes include speed, power, acceleration, steering grip, and durability. As players compete for the winning position on the track, blockchain technology will allow them to create, trade, and own their own dream vehicle collection.
Recently, the final look of Hyper League's NFT vehicles in the game has been revealed. At present, there are a total of five hover vehicles that players can access through the game. CK100p, Destroyer, Burner, and G-Racer 5000 are the significant hover vehicles revealed by Hyper League. In the near future, there is going to be a big announcement regarding the Whitelisting of these hover vehicle NFTs, so be sure to keep an eye out for it. Furthermore, it is anticipated that these NFTs will feature some great features that will enable the racer to easily win the race.
There are a number of exciting race tracks available in this game that are designed for players to challenge and entertain themselves. There are five different types of racing tracks available in Hyper League that include Neon City, Desert, Snow, Water, and Sky City, which are all available to players. Depending on the racing tracks, racers will have to make decisions about what kind of vehicle, driver, and car components they will use in their race.
Similarly, there has been a reveal of the final look of Hyper League's NFT characters in the game recently. It is also anticipated that these NFTs will come with some great features that will assist the racer to win the race. There will be an announcement soon regarding the Whitelisting for these character NFTs, so be sure to keep an eye out for it.
In addition to being an NFT-based GameFi, Hyper League also features beautiful 3D NFT digital artwork. Players' in-game NFT assets are all in-game NFT assets. All of the Hyper League characters, power-boosting weapons, and hover vehicles are NFTs. An NFT asset has immense value in the Hyper League's own NFT marketplace, which is known as the Hyper League NFT Marketplace.
In the First quarter of 2023, the Hyper League team will launch the Hyper League Marketplace Phase 1, which will include outstanding features such as buying, selling, and auctioning NFTs (Cars, Avatars, and Weapons). Moreover, the platform will release the first NFT sale with potential benefits when you own it for participation in the Metaverse and the game. The launch of the marketplace has been postponed due to reasons related to the development of the system and products.
The Metaverse is the convergence of real and virtual worlds, creating a new community where people can work, play, socialize, and even trade. The Metaverse has the potential to lead to a whole new world, bringing numerous opportunities to many people alongside the concept of transcending the current universe.
It will take a great deal of resources for the Metaverse to be able to change drastically. Aside from that, it requires strong support from large technology companies and the community as a whole. We are, however, constantly striving to create our own complete Metaverse, a place that will provide users with the most diverse and real-life experiences across multiple screens.
Welcome to Hyper League's first game development review! 🎉
We have been working hard on polishing the game, adding new features, and developing new game modes since Q1, 2022. The team has been so busy that they have barely had time to update our community about everything that has been happening.

Q: How can I set data-sly-test case insensitive in sightly? I need to set the data-sly-test in order to achieve 'true' as test result comparing two strings in case insensitive way.

true

where value of properties.jcr:language is 'EN'. data-sly-test in this case returns 'false' but I need that the result is 'true'.
Is it possible ?
Thanks in advance

A: It can actually be done in HTL/Sightly by forcing your variable to uppercase and then comparing:

true

A: According to the specification and my experience, you can't do this. Use sling or slice models or the plain use api for your logic.

Thermal diode could allow computers to one day function on heat alone
No more fans for us!
in Electronics, Environment, News, Physics
A research team from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Engineering has developed the first bit required for heat-fueled computers: the thermal diode.
Image credits Mahmoud Elzouka & Sidy Ndao, (2017), Scientific Reports.
Ever since humanity has put together the first electronic computer, we've been locked in an endless battle to keep these things cool enough so they won't fry and shut down. A struggle made all too personal as your phone is cooking in your hand after a particularly lengthy call or game. Is this the price we have to pay for modern communication and computation? Are we doomed to a future choke-full of fans and thermal conductive paste, anxiously blowing into PC cases or wailing at the sight of the on-screen thermometer?
Well, maybe not
Sidy Ndao, assistant professor of mechanical and materials engineering, and Mahmoud Elzouka, a graduate student in mechanical and materials engineering, from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Engineering, developed a thermal diode that may allow computers to harness heat as an alternate energy source and keep on functioning even in ultra-high temperatures. The duo says they got the idea of creating a nano-thermal-mechanical device, or thermal diode, after struggling with the question of how to better cool down computers. Instead of trying to dissipate heat (essentially wasting energy) like before, they decided to try and harness it for the computer's system.
"If you think about it, whatever you do with electricity you should (also) be able to do with heat, because they are similar in many ways," Ndao said. "In principle, they are both energy carriers. If you could control heat, you could use it to do computing and avoid the problem of overheating."
The rectifier (diode) made from a fixed terminal (top), a moving terminal (bottom), and a thermally-expandable structure (v-shaped bent beam). Variable thickness arrow represents the decrease in thermal radiation intensity with distance from the heated surface. (b) False-color scanning electron micrograph of a quarter of the proof-of-concept microdevice, showing 6 pairs of terminals (24 pairs total.) (c) Scanning electron micrograph of the proof-of-concept microdevice. (d,e) Zoomed-in views showing the connection of the moving terminal to the folded-beam spring and the bent beam, respectively.
Their NanoThermoMechanical rectifier (NTMR) uses heat exclusively, meaning it could be powered by waste heat (which the authors note equals about 60% of the total domestic consumption in the US) so would "obviously cut down on waste and the cost of energy," Ndao points out. The system is made up of two metallic plates, one fixed (upper) and one mobile (lower plate), called terminals, and can be constructed "using conventional microfabrication techniques". Near-field thermal radiation processes carry the heat between the two plates, and their intensity decreases exponentially with distance between the terminals. So, the wider the gap between them, the lower the heat transfer rate becomes (negative bias). When the expandable structure pushes the mobile terminal up, the distance closes, increasing the rate of heat transfer (positive bias).
The mobile terminal rests on a thermally-expandable structure, which activates when the lower plate is heated and pushes the two terminals close to each other. If the upper plate is heated, the thermal radiation processes which carry heat between two close-by objects isn't strong enough to heat the expandable structure, so there is no motion — allowing the system to act like a diode.
The prototype diodes.

It's not the first time scientists toy around with heat-based systems for computers, but "the technologies proposed so far operate at cryogenic or room temperatures." By contrast, the team's prototype device still functions at around 630 degrees F (332 C), which is a lot more than my rig can take without melting and/or exploding. Ndao says that in the future, he expects to take the system's limit to some ridiculous temperatures — even as high as 1,300 F (704 C).
The only major gripe I have with this system right now is that electro-mechanical computers tend to be really slow compared to pure electrical ones — that's why we switched to electronic computers in the first place. Well, that and the fact that mechanical computers have a lot of parts in motion which tend to break. So we'll have to wait and see just how fast this thing can be. But if they can pull it off, the thermal computer could comfortably compute in places where regular systems would boil to a halt.
Ndao said the team is trying to make the device more efficient and faster. Elzouka said that although they've filed for a patent already, there is still work to be done to improve the diode and its performance.
"If we can achieve high efficiency, show that we can do computations and run a logic system experimentally, then we can have a proof-of-concept," Elzouka said. "(That) is when we can think about the future."
"We want to to create the world's first thermal computer," Ndao said. "Hopefully one day, it will be used to unlock the mysteries of outer space, explore and harvest our own planet's deep-beneath-the-surface geology, and harness waste heat for more efficient-energy utilization."
The paper "High Temperature Near-Field NanoThermoMechanical Rectification" has been published in the journal Scientific Reports.

For most people the New Year begins on January 1st. For me it comes in early October, when my yearly worldwide preaching tour finishes and I head to Vrindavan for spiritual rejuvenation.
Just before leaving for India this year, I sat down and made up my itinerary for 2009. When I finished, I saw there was hardly a day to spare, with visits to most continents and almost 100 full-scale festivals in Poland, England, South Africa, Hong Kong and Australia.
Although I have visited Vrindavan many times in the past 38 years, I still feel a sense of mystery and expectation whenever I begin another trip there. As I boarded a flight from London to Delhi in early October, I was so excited it was as if I were going to Vrindavan for the first time. As the flight took off I thought about what India had been like in the '70s and '80s. In those days India was still considered a third-world country, and in the West, I would often hear people speak of India's "starving masses." Of course, there were no starving masses in India, but people had little knowledge of the facts, so the rumors persisted.
When our flight reached cruising altitude and the seat belt sign was turned off, I reached for a copy of the International Herald Tribune in the seat next to me and saw an article about President Bush signing an agreement to trade nuclear technology with India, ending a 30-year ban.
The agreement will give India access to civilian nuclear technology and fuel and will clear the way for American and European nuclear corporations to bid for contracts worth $27 billion to build 18 or 20 nuclear reactors in India.
"How times have changed," I thought.
Unfortunately, India's rise to a world power has affected even places like Vrindavan. The sleepy little town I went to in 1973 has grown into a small metropolis with guest houses, homes, and businesses being built at an alarming rate. Gone are the peaceful, quiet days when one could walk through Vrindavan without getting lost in huge crowds and having to dodge motor rickshaws, buses, and cars.
Nevertheless, Vrindavan remains and will always be a pure and sanctified place, untouched by material contamination. To deepen my appreciation for the dhama, I read selected verses from Srimad Bhagavatam as the flight continued to Delhi.
After landing, I caught a taxi to Vrindavan. As we entered the town, I asked the driver to stop, and I got out of the car and rolled in the dust, as is the tradition, much to the surprise of tourists passing by in another car.
I entered the room where I would be staying and set up my computer to check my email. Then I caught myself. "This is not why I've come here," I thought and put the computer aside.
After settling in, I picked up my cell phone to call Jayatam dasa in Poland and get an update on his recent lunch with the Indian ambassador. Again, I stopped myself. "It can wait," I said softly.
Minutes later, a devotee came by to greet me.
I told him about the flight.
"It's hard to say at this point ...," I began.
Then I caught myself once more. "Here I go again," I thought.
I politely excused myself, saying I had other things to do. After my friend left I sat before my Deities and prayed They would give me direction on how to accomplish my purpose in coming to Vrindavan: to deepen my love for the Lord and get spiritual strength for the huge task that lay ahead.
Later in the evening I decided to go on Vrindavan parikrama. I picked up my japa beads and started barefoot on the two-hour walk along the perimeter of the town.
As I rounded the first turn, I saw a man come out of his home and climb onto a bicycle. As he began to pedal away, his five-year-old daughter burst out of the house and ran down the street after him. Crying, she called out to him again and again. But within moments, her father had pedaled out of sight.
The little girl stopped, fell to ground, and continued sobbing uncontrollably.
The next day devotees arrived from different parts of the world to take part in the parikrama that BB Govinda Maharaja and I would be leading. For the next three weeks we immersed ourselves in kirtana and classes in Vrindavan, Jaipur, and Hrsikesh. At every temple, samadhi, holy river, and kunda, I prayed intensely for the awakening of my love for Radha and Krsna and for the strength to preach in the coming year.
And by the Lord's grace, inspiration continued coming. While on Govardhana parikrama with our group, I started feeling tired half way around. "Maybe I should give up," I thought.
After some time I was walking at a snail's pace, focusing on my aching muscles and tired feet. Suddenly a pilgrim walked briskly past me, chanting prayers to Govardhana Hill. I looked at him closely and was shocked to see that he was totally blind.
I caught up with him and spent the rest of the parikrama following in his footsteps, listening to his prayers and praying for the same determination.
previous parikramas, I got up late and rushed through my puja to be on time.
Then I scolded myself. "It's not proper to do puja quickly, especially in the dhama," I thought.
That day as we walked with our parikrama party up the winding road to Varsana, I saw an elderly woman carrying a Deity of Gopal in a small basket. At each holy spot on the way up, she would stop and show Gopal the sacred place. She handled the Deity with such care and attention it was obvious she had much love for Him.
"Is it authorized?" I asked.
Caturatma smiled. "Srila Prabhupada quotes it in the purport to verse 60 of the 13th chapter of Adi-lila in Sri Caitanya-caritamrta," he said.
I found a copy of the book, published by ISKCON's Isvara das from Touchstone Media. Day by day I became more enthusiastic as I read about the previous acaryas and their love for Vrindavan.
But as the month of Kartika was coming to a close I found myself still hankering for more mercy.
As I walked along, I made mental images of all the temples, Deities, and samadhis, hoping the impressions would stay with me throughout the entire year.
Just before finishing the parikrama, I stopped off at a place where my Godbrother Kiran Prabhu had invited me for lunch.
Kiran has been living in India for almost 30 years. Much of this time he spent preaching in West Bengal. While there he wrote a detailed book on the holy places of Bengal and the pastimes of Lord Caitanya and His associates there.
After lunch we talked about having his book published. Then just before leaving, I went to his room to take darshan of his Deities. I was surprised when I found only a small frame on the altar with thin pieces of old wood inside. There appeared to be writing on the wood, though it was faded.
"What is this?" I asked Kiran.
"It's mentioned in our Gaudiya literature," he said.
"But how did you get it?" I asked.
"I was serving with the Bhaktivedanta Charity Trust set up by Srila Prabhupada in the 1970s to restore old temples in Bengal," Kiran replied. "One time I visited a temple in Bharatpura where that Bhagavad- gita is preserved and worshiped. Once a year, on Gadadhara Pandit's disappearance day, the Gita is put on display for the public.
"I arrived just as the priest was taking the sacred text, written on thin pieces of wood, out of a box. As he turned around he bumped into a pillar, and a few brittle pieces of the text broke off and fell to the ground.
He reached for the frame and opened it. With a pair of tweezers he picked up a small piece of wood with a perfectly formed letter on it and carefully placed it in my trembling hands.
"'I am writing Bhagavad-gita,' Gadadhara Pandit replied. "The Lord forcibly took Gadadhara Pandit's writing materials, wrote a sloka, and then returned them. When Gadadhara Pandit saw the verse he became jubilant and offered prayers to the Lord. Lord Caitanya embraced Gadadhara Pandit, who then quickly completed his work on Bhagavad-gita.
"After saying this, Gadadhara Pandit left this world. Nayananda Misra performed the necessary rituals for the spiritual master's departure and moved to Bharatpura.
The next day I left the holy dhama fully rejuvenated and ready for the services and challenges that lay ahead.

The lifestyle of a place reflects the true picture of the society and the community, especially in today's day and age. It is important to know about the way people live in a city or village to understand how it affects the economy and whether every individual has access to the basic amenities of life. Although, nowadays getting access to healthy food, water, hospitals and a house to live in are not enough for a healthy and prosperous living. The same is applicable in case of Beed. Even though the district misses out on a lot of things like proper number of jobs, hospitals and other health care facilities, the place intends to thrive on its own.
This intent to thrive on their own has driven a lot of people in Beed, including the villages to engage themselves into small but efficient businesses that cover areas like beauty, health and appearance. Many people move to the developed parts of Maharashtra to study courses related to beauty, health and designing to apply it in their hometown. This has given birth to a number of gyms and beauty parlours in the different parts of the town and sub-urban areas.
Gyms in Beed
A wide number of gyms can be located in different parts of the town. Even though the gyms may not have all the equipments we find in the gyms of a proper city, it does have the basic instruments like treadmills, weights, cycles etc. They are also equipped with Yoga mats and exercise balls. Some of the gyms also offer therapeutic exercises for ailments that need certain strain free exercises.

It also offers the facility of a personal trainer if required or requested by the customers.
Beauty Parlours in Beed
Beed has many big and small beauty parlours located in prominent areas of the town like near markets, in the scanty malls and different localities in the city. There are also a few nameless parlours in the sub-urban areas of the district. Names like Habib's are barely seen anywhere in the district. Even though the city has beauty parlours for both men and women, mostly women are common visitors.
Boutiques in Beed
Most of the boutiques in Beed are situated within or near the market areas of the city. These places are most in demand during the festive or marriage seasons as they sell a variety of Indian clothes from local but good designers. Almost all these boutiques offer tailoring services. One of the most popular boutiques, located in Beed HO, is Tanishq Boutique. Along with this there are also a few jewellery and accessories boutiques here and there.
Spas in Beed
Strangely the town is home to a number of spas that offer different kinds of relaxing and therapeutic spa treatments. It has all kinds of spas like Medi Spa, Beauty Spa, Style Spa and the popular Outdoor spas. Even though there is no renowned name of any spa, Beed spas offer all therapies we find in a metropolis.
The developed lifestyle sector of the economical under developed Beed throws light on the fact that people are quite health and beauty conscious in the district. They believe in keeping themselves in shape and women take good care of their appearance and health as well.

Ammi visnaga is a species of flowering plant in the carrot family known by many common names, including toothpick-plant, toothpickweed, bisnaga, and khella. Also known as Bishop's weed. It is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, but it can be found throughout the world as an introduced species. This is an annual or biennial herb growing from a taproot erect to a maximum height near 80 centimeters. Leaves are up to 20 centimeters long and generally oval to triangular in shape but dissected into many small linear to lance-shaped segments. The inflorescence is a compound umbel of white flowers similar to those of other Apiaceae species. The fruit is a compressed oval-shaped body less than 3 millimeters long.
Cautions: Avoid during Pregnancy. For external use only, this is considered toxic if taken internally. Dilute before use; may cause skin irritation in some individuals so a skin test is recommended prior to use; Phototoxic - avoid sun exposure if applied topically. Avoid contact with eyes.

KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 14): Selangor Properties Bhd (SPB) said today shareholders have approved the proposed selective capital reduction and repayment (SCR) in the company after the majority of them voted for the resolution to privatise the group.
SPB said in a statement to Bursa Malaysia that shareholders had voted on the resolution at the company's extraordinary general meeting (EGM) here earlier today.
"The results of the poll were validated by GovernAce Advisory & Solutions Sdn Bhd, the independent scrutineer appointed by SPB. The application to the High Court to seek confirmation for the reduction of share capital under Section 116 of the Companies Act, 2016 will be lodged in due course," SPB said.
According to SPB, the special resolution which was tabled at the EGM in respect of the proposed SCR is required to be approved by at least a majority in number of the disinterested shareholders of SPB and 75% in value to the votes attached to the disinterested SPB shares that are cast either in person or by proxy at the EGM.
SPB said the special resolution must not be voted against by more than 10% of the votes attached to all the disinterested shares.
"Based on the poll results, the special resolution was voted for by 76.301% in number and 99.023% in value to the votes attached to the disinterested SPB shares that were cast either in person or by proxy at the EGM. Further, 0.374% of the votes attached to all the disinterested shares of the total voting shares of SPB voted against the special resolution. Therefore, the special resolution has been carried," SPB said.
In a separate statement to Bursa today, SPB said trading in its shares has been halted from 11:46am in conjunction with the EGM outcome announcement. SPB said its share trade will resume from 2:30pm.
Prior to the share trade halt, SPB shares rose five sen to RM6.21 after 53,800 shares were crossed.
SPB officials declined to speak to the media at the EGM earlier.


To the devil with you listeners; we make shows when we want and no sooner. But we hope you will enjoy this "unplugged" episode, where Nathan and Eric riff about their ideas of the types of players we consider great, and what mischief they will attempt to visit on a hapless newcomer on their way to tournament success. As a bonus, tournament stalwarts can play along at home to try to figure out of whom we speak.


i have and can find all duplicates in my library - after i find them is there a way to delete them (in mass) other than deleting one at a time?
The only way they would all come over is if your wife had automatic downloads turned on in her store settings on the phone before she downloaded the apps. A popup for this option also comes up when you first sign into an apple id on the phone in the app store. If she didn't have that setting turned on, she'll have to download them one by one.

You Got Your License in My Keychain!
The One In Which Paul Talks Out His Hat (metaphorically, since he and hats don't get along).
During an entertaining aside in Andy Ihnatko's keynote at this weekend's Voices That Matter conference, I was reminded of a thought I'd had a while ago: Why don't Mac desktop applications store their license info in the Keychain?
Complaining about restoring license keys should be just as trite of a humor topic as little bags of peanuts on flights, but it still holds true. Go to restore a machine, or move to a new one with a clean install, and you can write off at least an afternoon launching and entering at least two text fields per application.
Configure my MobileMe account and sync down the data, setting up my Mail accounts, Address Book and Calendar—and Keychain.
Launch a new copy of my licensed application.
There is no Step Three. Go on your merry way.
I'm not expert enough to suggest that it would improve security of your key, but it sure would discourage casual tweaking more than the plist or hidden file schemes you'd need to develop on your own. Also, separation of license key from a preferences file (hopefully developers are already doing this) allows a user to delete the preferences and start fresh without having to worry about relicensing.
I understand that Keychain development can be convoluted, but is that reason enough to not make the user's life a little bit easier and your support burden of finding a lost license a little less frequent?
As I said at the top, I realize I'm talking out of my…hat here. I don't have experience doing this (yet), so I am interested in hearing reasoned arguments. Until and unless this is proven untenable, simply consider it a feature request for your next release.
