Where Was Dr. Strange Filmed in Nepal?
I'll admit, while I don't know much about Marvel's Doctor Strange, I watched trailer the second it came out. Not only does it look like it's going to be a great movie, but—NEPAL! From 30 seconds in, I was so stoked to see my beloved Kathmandu. Here's the scoop on the Nepali filming locations seen in the trailer (and here's the trailer again, to refresh your memory).
This was shot at Pashupatinath temple complex, the holiest shrine to Shiva in all of Nepal. The cool thing about this Hindu temple is that it is devoted to Shiva in his form as Protector of the Animals.
This is also an important cremation site, as the temple is built up on both sides of the holy Bagmati River. There is a temple here which can only be visited by Hindus, but all people are allowed to explore the vast grounds. When you visit first thing in the morning, you can see scores of people jogging & doing calisthenics on the vast grounds. Plenty of rowdy monkeys live along the river here, too.
This is also a hot spot for "sadhus for pay," very ornately made-up Hindu "holy men" who will gladly take a picture with you–for a fee. I once met a cosplay Hanuman there and it made my year.
These shots above were taken at Swayambhunath, aka The Monkey Temple, revered by Hindus and Buddhists alike. BJ visited Swayambhu a month after the April 2015 earthquake and it was just devastated. While the aerial shot might be stock footage, I saw video online indicating they actually did film at Swayambhu, which makes me very happy about the progression of reconstruction. Swayambhunath has a fantastic view of the Kathmandu Valley and is a lovely place to catch sunset.
As for the street scenes, Wikipedia cites Thamel, but I'll be curious to see more scenes when the film comes out. And the courtyard scene with Tilda Swinton is probably primarily a set, but the tiered temple is the background is most likely Patan (also heavily damaged in the quake).

Unverified Rumor Regarding Star Wars: Episode VII Sets at Pinewood Studios.
There was an interesting post at the JC about potential sets built at Pinewood Studios. Unfortunately, I can't locate the original IMDB posts to verify it, so if you can help us find it, that would be neat. Make sure you don't put too much into this at this juncture because it is extremely unverifiable at this moment.
The gist of the rumor is that there was a posting at IMDB in which a person claimed to have been on various sets at Pinewood Studios. They supposedly adequately described a set at Pinewood that was recently leaked in a photograph depicting Tatooine on the Pinewood backlot. Because of this, it means their other details that may have some merit.
An icy planet that was very much like Hoth but was impossible to tell for sure. They claimed this set would connect with exterior location shooting in Iceland.
A location with lots of trees but did not look like Endor or Kashyyyk.
There was also a massive Imperial Docking Bay built.
The final one kind of lines up with the TMZ photos we saw that appeared to have some qualities not unlike what is described as a potential "imperial docking bay." None of it is "smoking gun" solid, even if the posting at IMDB is found. None the less, it is interesting rumor. Hopefully the thread at IMDB can be found and our community can make better sense of it all.
This set is massive, about three storeys high, no blue or green screens, all built in black and chrome, with platforms and gantries etc.. I can't imagine it's anything other than an Imperial set. Now, I personally feel it's likely there will be remnants of the Empire scattered around, but I have no idea how much power they might have, or indeed whether they're actually a new Imperial presence as opposed to what's left of the old one.
So, how much do you think we'll see of Imperials? How much do you want to see them? Personally, I would sell my grandmother to see Snowtroopers again. And there is an ice planet set… very possibly Hoth.
We're not allowed to carry phones on the lot, so unfortunately there's no way to take a pic. And everyone on the lot has been warned in very strong terms not to do so.
The thing about the Imperial set is that it's totally pristine. It didn't look abandoned or un-maintained for 30 years. It really got my curiosity up, more than the others. The Tatooine set is great, but it is what it is, looks like Tatooine. The Hoth set (if it is Hoth and not another ice planet) was also great, has a crashed ship in the snow, and the tree dwelling was also interesting because what I saw didn't look like either Endor/Ewok or Kashyyyk. Not unless they're reimagining Kashyyyk, which I would welcome. I'm hoping that it's Yavin IV. That I would love.
So clearly, this doesn't link his words to the TMZ photos and it doesn't really give any details about the Tatooine set or anything to link it to that photo. So we will just have to chalk it up to information that's out there that might not be true or might be true. The information is still interesting, and hopefully we can get a nod about the authenticity of this information soon.


Throw the Warped Wheel Out is the debut album from Scottish new wave band Fiction Factory. It was released in 1984 and included the hit single "(Feels Like) Heaven". Despite including the hit, the album failed to chart in the UK.
Upon release, Rolling Stone stated: "Fiction Factory are doubtless a most sincere bunch, and here they display excellent musicianship, lavish production and a dozen moderately tuneful songs. Unfortunately, they lack any real spark of originality..." Michael Sutton of AllMusic retrospectively wrote: "Any interest in Fiction Factory's Throw the Warped Wheel Out will most likely originate from the album's opening track, "(Feels Like) Heaven" - an '80s new wave classic. However, one song cannot carry the weight of an entire LP; fortunately, Fiction Factory were talented enough to craft worthy successors. Throw the Warped Wheel Out is a vastly underrated album, disappointing only record buyers who want every track to sound like "(Feels Like) Heaven."

Schwenningen - Romania - Mexico
Daniel Reiser takes advantage of MEDER program for promoting new generation of managers
At KURT MEDER GmbH, young engineer Daniel Reiser is enjoying travels that will take him from the Black Forest to Bucharest and onwards to Mexico. As part of a program designed to promote the next generation of managers, he will spend six months contributing his expertise and helping to optimize processes, first in Romania and then in Mexico.
At Schwenningen's KURT MEDER GmbH, trainees and employees are given the opportunity to gain experience with partner companies abroad. An excellent example of this is Daniel Reiser: after finishing his apprenticeship as a precision machinist, he went on to complete a course of dual studies in mechanical engineering, focusing in particular on design and development. Immediately afterwards, he joined the KURT MEDER GmbH junior management program for young engineers, specializing in the wire sector.
With its large export share, spring specialist MEDER already has a worldwide presence, a presence consolidated by its affiliation to the Kern-Liebers group of companies, whose branches extend across the entire globe. This network is now taking Daniel Reiser to Romania. "Given the number of different companies in the group, it is particularly important for us to continuously develop our communication with each other in order to secure an advantage in our highly competitive market, and we are therefore always happy to send our employees to work with partner companies," explains MEDER Managing Director Magnus Mauch.
The Romanian plant within the Kern-Liebers group, where Daniel Reiser will work for six months, is about ten kilometers from Bucharest, and has been manufacturing parts for the textile industry since the early 1970s. In 2015, a new division was added: the wire spring unit. With around 120 employees, the company is still expanding and working to establish itself on the market. And this is where the expertise of Daniel Reiser from Germany comes in.
But before heading off to Romania, there were a number of other items on the agenda for the young engineer in Germany. "This program is designed to give up-and-coming young people the opportunity to develop their skills and gain the qualifications for higher roles with greater responsibilities within the company," explains Mauch. Reiser worked though the various departments within KURT MEDER GmbH, also taking on three six-month assignments at sister companies Bohnert GmbH and Schweizer GmbH, as well the parent company itself at the Kern-Liebers Wire division (W). "The goal of this program is to internalize processes and transfer know-how," adds Mauch.
Having become thoroughly familiar with group headquarters in the Black Forest, it was time to move on to the plant in Romania, where his role is to pass on his expertise, integrate and optimize processes and promote communication with the German locations. Schwenningen-born Reiser acts not only as an important interface between group headquarters in Germany and its subsidiary in Romania, but also as part of the team responsible for the relocation of products and machines to Romania.
After a few months in Romania, the young engineer has come to his initial conclusions and is enjoying the opportunity to continue his development at a company abroad: "My stay here has already enhanced my professional, personal and social skills. The program is clearly ensuring improved networking of the locations", says Daniel Reiser in summary.
After Romania, on to Mexico: hardly back from Romania, the next challenge awaits Daniel Reiser. After his return in the autumn, he will travel on to Kern-Liebers Mexico, where he will work on day-to-day operations and contribute to a project for six months.

The Guibord Center visits Hsi Lai Buddhist Temple and Monastery in Hacienda Heights to learn the meaning of Buddhist rituals and symbols. Our guide for the journey is Venerable Mankwang, a Chinese Buddhist monastic.
One sees it initially from a distance, the gold curved rooftops and red trim sparkling in the sunlight on the hillside. White stone railings and tall cascading stairs invite stranger and friend alike to enter into this magical mountain monastery. And when one does a world of beauty lies waiting.
Fo Guang Shan Hsi Lai Temple, always abuzz with activity, once again graciously welcomes The Guibord Center's attendees to come and discover more about the signs and symbols of Humanistic Buddhism. We have been here before to learn about the Lotus Sutra, a text at the very heart of Buddhism. This morning we will learn about Buddhism in action and how it orients one in the world through its signs and symbols.
The Saturday we arrive there are other groups forming to participate in monastic retreats and meditations. A children's summer camp is in full swing. The library is open as is the museum and the hospitality area. Volunteers offer tea and explanations to visitors. While we wait for our guide, Venerable Mankwang, to complete her other duties, we are encouraged to stroll down the long corridors lined with beautiful carvings and carefully sculpted gardens.
Soon a docent gathers us like swarming ducklings in the main square. She begins explaining the history of the Temple before our camera crew can even get in place. We try to slow her down but her enthusiasm outpaces our technology. And we trail her, cameras rolling, up the tall stairs into the main temple.
We have come to witness a young nun performing the offering rites for the noonday meal. Venerable Mankuang explains the intention behind the garb, the bow, the incense, the instruments, the prayers,.. and we become witness to humility and compassion made manifest carefully, mindfully, before us. We hear the ancient tale of a 'ghost' mother who during the night steals babies to feed her own hungry children. The Buddha teaches her to feel compassion for the mothers of those babies, and promises to set aside a portion of his every meal for her children so they will not go hungry. Today, the morsels of rice set aside remind us of the story and all those who are hungry.
Our very capable guide invites questions and our group does not disappoint as we get to a level deeper than the basics. Venerable Mankuang has a surprise for us. The Abbot himself has offered to meet with us. Venerable Hui Dong will share his insights about his faith. It is a great honor.
We file into what someone in the group affectionately names "The United Nations Room" because of the microphones at each place and the horseshoe arrangement of the space. We are being allowed an audience of rare intimacy. After we are all in place, the young Abbot enters. He speaks to us not as students but as seekers.
For the next forty-five minutes he shares from his heart with great humility the essence of what he has come to understand as the core of his faith. He shares as a trusted colleague to equals. Without a single note, he clarifies and delves deeply addressing those things that we as people of faith ponder and seek to understand. His time with us is profoundly touching. Again, he too, encourages questions and answers each one with great presence.
When he is done, we are invited to lunch as guests of the Temple in the dining room below where one person is more generous than the next. Those who serve us do so with obvious delight and ask their own questions of us. They are clearly thrilled that we have come to see their beautiful temple and learn about their practice. Excitement flows as we discover more about each other and partake in delicious food and conversations.
We leave the Temple feeling much closer to Buddhism.

Mercat del Born is a former public market and one of the most important buildings in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain constructed with iron.  Located in the lower and eastern side of the la Ribera neighborhood, it is the largest covered square in all of Europe and marked the start of Modernisme in Catalan architecture.

Design
The market is rectangular, with two large domed, intersecting buildings, and 4 smaller naves. The structure is supported on cast iron columns with a flat roof covered in glazed tile.

History
The market was designed in 1873 by the municipal architect Antoni Rovira i Trias (who also designed the Mercat de Sant Antoni) and built between 1874 and 1878 by master builder Josep Fontserè i Mestre and engineer Josep Maria Cornet i Mas. The structure of cast iron columns and metallic horses was fabricated by La Maquinista Terrestre i Marítima.

The market came into operation in 1878 and was in use as the central market in town until 1971.  At its closure, it was functioning as a wholesale market, but was replaced with the opening of Mercabarna in Zona Franca.

Born "District"
In recent years, the area immediately surrounding the market has been referred to as "el Born" or the Castilian variant "el Borne".  A heavily gentrified area considered to be south of Carrer de la Princesa, it is full of restaurants, bar, and some small shops with many expatriates both living and socializing there.  Despite this colloquial name given to the area (which is often applied to the entire district), it is still officially called la Ribera or Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera.

Restoration
Restoration work started and stopped several times since the closure of market.  Each successive city government had a different plan for the very large space.  At some points, there were even plans to lease it to a retail establishment such as FNAC who had expressed interest.

After closure, it fell into a state of disrepair and was restored 1977 to 1981 under the direction of Pere Espinosa.

In 2002 work was started to install the Biblioteca Provincial de Barcelona, but during excavations, extensive ruins of the medieval city were discovered. It was then decided to preserve the ruins and move the library project to another location.

Currently, the market covers these archaeological ruins which were part of the la Ribera district that was demolished in the early eighteenth century after the defeat of Catalonia in the War of Succession in 1714.  This portion of la Ribera was forcibly demolished to make way for the construction of the Ciutadella military structure as ordered by the new Spanish king, Philip V.

The plan that finally came to fruition in 2013 was to expose the subterranean ruins for visitors while preserving space around the exterior of them for mixed use, cultural center, in addition to having a museum about the War of Succession onsite.  At the same time, it is now possible for pedestrians to pass freely from Passeig del Born through to the other side that leads to the park of Ciutadella.

The official inauguration of the restored market was September 11, 2013.

The transformation of the old market into a museum space was led by the study of Varis Arquitectes and executed by the UTE between Sapic, Croquis and Sono Audiovisual Technology. The project of integrated audiovisual systems includes both the exhibition spaces and other rooms and auditoriums of the center. In addition to various display media, such as projection and videowall, the center is equipped with simultaneous translation equipment and a control system to govern all elements.

Facebook terminated its contract with Definers Public Affairs following a bombshell New York Times investigation that detailed how Facebook hired the Republican opposition researcher to counter criticism of its role in spreading Russian misinformation and exposing its users to the political-ad-targeting firm Cambridge Analytica.
The Times says Facebook staff were aware in spring 2016, more than a year before making the disclosures public, that Russian hackers used the platform to interfere with the 2016 presidential election and that CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg decided to publicly downplay concerns about interference even as Facebook staff uncovered the extent of the operation. When Facebook finally revealed, in the fall of 2017, that a Kremlin-linked operation had reached nearly 150 million users with false posts in an effort to sway the 2016 election, Facebook launched an intensive lobbying and PR campaign to minimize criticism.
Measures taken by the company included hiring external firms like Definers. Led by political veterans who have worked and campaigned for Republican lawmakers such as Mitt Romney and Marco Rubio, the firm released materials linking a group advocating the breakup of Facebook with billionaire George Soros and published negative articles about other tech companies, like Google and Apple, on its conservative news affiliate NTK Network, said the Times.
Facebook's employment of Definers was public. The details of the public relations campaign and the lobbying efforts by Sandberg weren't well known, however.
Backlash was quick. Patrick Gaspard, president of Soros' Open Society Foundation, shared a letter he wrote to Sandberg on Twitter late Wednesday criticizing the company for attacking Soros.
Zuckerberg said Thursday in a conference call with reporters that he didn't know about Definers until he read the Times article. Sandberg similarly denied that she knew Facebook hired the firm.
"I did not know we hired them or about the work they were doing, but I should have," she wrote in a Facebook post Thursday night. The firm didn't respond to a Forbes request for comment.
The Times investigation lays out how Definers took on this strategy with Facebook. Articles on its affiliate NTK Network downplayed the effect of Russian meddling on Facebook. "Russian Content on Facebook Amount to Just .004% of Total Content," one headline from October 2017 read, while another headline from earlier that month read, "Majority of the Russian-Bought Facebook Ads Appeared After 2016 Election." Definers President Joe Pounder is listed as editor in chief of the site.
Facebook amped up its relationship with the PR firm after the Times, in an investigation earlier this year, exposed how Facebook was aware that a political ad targeting firm that had worked for the Trump campaign, Cambridge Analytica, had accessed the personal data of as many as 87 million Facebook users, without their consent. A document circulated to reporters by Definers this summer painted Soros, a frequent target of anti-Semitic campaigns from the far right, as the figure behind widespread anti-Facebook sentiment. The firm encouraged reporters to explore any potential financial relationships between Soros and organizations within the Freedom from Facebook activist group, like civil rights advocacy organization Color of Change.
In a statement to Forbes on Thursday, Facebook confirmed that Definers encouraged reporters to explore the funding of Freedom from Facebook. "The intention was to demonstrate that it was not simply a spontaneous grassroots campaign, as it claimed, but supported by a well-known critic of our company," the statement says. "To suggest that this was an anti-Semitic attack is reprehensible and untrue." The company also denied in the statement that it paid Definers to write articles on Facebook's behalf.
Color of Change called for the firing of Joel Kaplan, Facebook's vice president for corporate public policy.


Yesterday we had 126 horseback riders! The corrals were bursting with activity and smiles all day long and the weather couldn't have been nicer. We were truly blessed to meet so many lovely people. The rain has slowed us down some today but we have our fingers crossed for better weather since that's what we Arizona (working) Snow Birds love the most about Cave Creek!
The upcoming new year offers a time for reflection of 2013 and the memories made during. Upon looking back what else can we say but…"wow". The years just seem to keep flying by as our family grows up and gets bigger and as we continue to share a passion for horses and knowledge with our guests. The bits and pieces that make up our days, like dressing up guests in chaps and saddling horses, has melted away another year, leaving behind great memories, new friendships, and more love in its wake. We can only hope that 2014 will present us with equal characteristics and even more opportunities.

So I've been on the search again for curious sounding crisps, and these new Teriyaki flavoured ones appeared on the Morrisons website.Teriyaki is technically a Japanese cooking technique so I was more than a little bit curious to find out how they had interpreted that as flavour for crisps.
The packaging is quite dark and for some reason it took me a while when I saw them on the website to realise they were actually crisps, and not some sort of noodle and cracker meal kit. I guess I'm used the more bright colours of bags we tend to get in the UK.
Once open the aroma from these crisps was very minimal, just a light sort of savoury scent. We shared some out to have with our sandwiches at lunch time. The flavour of the crisps was still delicate, but I could instantly pick up on the lovely Japanese flavour. It was mainly soya sauce in taste, which of course is a wonderful savoury taste. There was a little hint of sweetness in there too, but just a touch, nothing crazy and some hints of spice. The crisps are mild for my tastebuds, but I still liked them and found them very easy to munch on. I'd certainly like to try some more crisps from the range and see what other Japanese flavours are available. Spectre said these crisps were perfect washed down with a glass of lager, if you are looking for a serving suggestion!
These sound so delicious! Next time I see them I'll definitely grab a pack. Thanks for posting!

Rod Bradley – August Mentor of the Month
August 20, 2018 outreachewi
Rod Bradley II has a passion for education and helping children. This passion led him to obtain his early education degree from Cedarville University in Ohio.
Initially, Rod was able to foster his passion by substitute teaching in Des Moines for 3 years after graduating from college. He now works for John Deere Financial as a Processing Coordinator, and is going on his third year of reading with co-workers at Findley Elementary. Rod also read at Hillside Elementary this summer.
This school year, Rod will be starting his third year of reading together with his student Isidro and his second year reading with another student, Joanna. He says that each of these mentoring relationships are different and he enjoys his time.
When asked what he enjoys most about his time with Everybody Wins, Rod said, "I enjoy listening to them read, and assisting them with their phonetic skills. They were, and are, a joy to work with. Isidro and I both enjoy talking about superheroes, and reading superhero books. Joanna and I share an appreciation for our families and her pets. Joanna also like to occasionally read to Isidro and me."
Rod found EWI three years ago during the United Way Campaign through John Deere Financial.
"I love being a mentor because I recognize the importance of children, and young people, having a positive role model," Rod said. "I am a mentor because I can see their potential in being anything they truly want to be. I desire to have a positive impact on their lives. I love being available for the children and I appreciate working with them. Kids are a joy to be around, and they keep me young. It is great seeing them work things out and interact with each other."
He shares this joy in his personal life through interactions with his nieces, nephew and two fraternal twin step-children. He also volunteers with Upward Bound, a program that provides opportunities for participants to succeed in their precollege performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits.
As an ending thought, Rod said "I wish all our EWI students much success over the years. These kids can truly do whatever they would like, with the power of education and hard work. I also encourage volunteers to continue volunteering and mentoring. It takes a village to raise these children, and I enjoy being a part of this village. Thank you, EWI, for the opportunity to make an impact in a child's life."
EWI thanks Rod for his commitment, passion, and dedication for the program.

Sunday evening was really a surprising one for people in Indore because it was the first time ever when the city residents saw a robot managing the traffic on roads, People were amazed to see a robot controlling the traffic in such a way that too so smoothly. The robot was placed at Barfani Dham (Ring Road) red light. It transpired that this was a trial run by the Madhya Pradesh traffic police and it went off quite successfully. Whoever saw this rare event, halted the vehicle and tried to click pictures of the robot as it was an altogether a new thing for them.
According to Indore Police, the first trial of robotic traffic control was successful. In India it has been named 'Traffic robot system'.
Before that robot has been working in Africa to handle traffic. This is the first experiment in India's Indore city after Africa. According to sources, the cost of this traffic robot has come to nearly three million which will be gradually reduced.

North Korea has fired a ballistic missile from its east coast but Kim Jong-un's test appears to have failed, officials in South Korea said.
The missile - believed to be an intermediate-range Musudan missile - was launched at 6am on Wednesday (9pm UK time).
The US military detected a missile launch from North Korea, Navy Commander Dave Benham, a spokesman from the U.S. military's Pacific Command, confirmed.

Japan put its military on alert for a possible North Korean ballistic missile launch and South Korea's Yonhap News Agency said that the North was seen to be moving an intermediate-range missile to its east coast.
North Korea has failed in all four previous attempts to launch the Musudan, which theoretically has the range to reach any part of Japan and the US territory of Guam.

Q: active record recursive many-to-many association I want to set up a many-to-many recursive association with the model Projects
a Project has_many Comps (or comparables), which are other Projects
and a Project can be the Comp of many Projects
I'd like to add other columns to each record, so I need a join table
I've done the following research which has not helped:

*

*This article is a clear basic explanation of sql recursive    associations, but there is no specifics on activerecord    implementation

*this stack overflow article deals with a one-to-many relationship,
and not a many-to-many

*I tried this rails method of setting up what seems to be multiple
join tables, but it is confusing and did not work for me.

*I tried this rails method and it did not work for me, maybe because it assigns primary keys to two columns in a table, which I did not do
In the last link, here is the code in question:
CREATE TABLE tutorship (
tutor_id INTEGER,
tutored_id INTEGER,
hasPaid BOOLEAN,
PRIMARY KEY (tutor_id, tutored_id)
);
how can you have two primary keys in the same table?  If that is correct, is this the issue, and how do i set this up?
Generally, how do i set this up in active record?

A: The term you are looking for seems to be "self referential many to many join".
It's tricky to get right the first time definitely reccomend testing and retesting your associations in rails console as you build this out.

*

*rails many to many self join

*http://railscasts.com/episodes/163-self-referential-association?view=comments
```
class Project < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_many :comparables
  has_many :comps, :through => :comparables

  # rest of class omitted.
end

class Comparables < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :project
  belongs_to :comp, :class_name => 'Project'
end

```
someone correct me if I err'd in the example above.

A: You can't have more than 1 primary key. By the very definition this doesn't make sense. You can have more than 1 unique index though. What you are describing is NOT recursive. It is a many to many relationship. I don't quite understand what you really want here because you have some code that talks about tutors but your original comment had to to with projects.
Let's say you have Projects. And any given project can have multiple comps. At the same time any given comp can be associated with more than 1 project. The way you do this is with a union table.
Something along these lines.

    ProjectID int,

In a hole in the side wall of the working element includes upper and lower profile of the strap, which is attached to the inside of the conduit flap overlying the opening in the side wall of the working element of the conduit, and which is attached to the core racks, symmetrically attached to the movable platform and congruent contact with the vertical wall of the cylindrical housing of the working chamber, the width of the recess in which is equal to the distance between the uprights, and with the walls of the sealed compartments, which contained the mechanisms and motors move the mobile platform and which is oriented perpendicularly to the side wall of the work item. The distance between the walls of the sealed compartments equal to the diameter of the cylindrical housing of the working chamber. Design of hydroelectric power plant can improve its capacity. 8 Il.
The invention relates to the field of hydropower and can be used for conversion into electrical energy kinetic energy videopotokov with different velocity, including relatively neob bottom, the top and side walls, with decreasing flow cross-section connected to the conduits composed of workers, swivel and connecting elements, working with cameras and placed them in capsule units (see USSR author's certificate 1652640 A1, IPC 7 F 03 In 13/08, 30.05.1991).
This famous hydroelectric power plant has a complex structure, caused by the placement of capsule units directly into the waterways and the need therefore to have in the design of the at least two conduit limited capacity caused by the use of horizontal capsule units, limited reliability, as well as limited scope, due to the relative ineffectiveness of hydroelectric power plants in lowland rivers with a small flow rate and low flow.
Closest to the technical essence of the present invention is a "Hydroelectric "VOLKOV", including specified in the stream near the shore, is supplied at the input protective gratings oriented at an angle to the direction of flow, the intake duct with the upper inclined, lateral and lower bottom walls, with decreasing flow cross CE and unified work items, in the side wall are covered with the valve hole, which includes the working blade vertical-axis of capsule units, equipped with devices for regulation and stabilization of the number of revolutions of the capsules and placed in the cylindrical housings of the working chambers with a cutout installed removable on moving platforms that move with the help of motors and mechanisms installed in an airtight compartments on reference sites, attached to work items of the conduit (see Russian Federation patent 2140012 C1 IPC 7 F 03 In 13/00, 20.10.1999).
However, the hydropower plant has a limited scope, the inefficiencies caused by its use in streams with relatively low velocity, so as to ensure its efficient operation of the dimensions of the diversion boxes should be large, a relatively small capacity, due to the relatively small intake and consumption, as well as the relative complexity of the structure caused by the presence in the working elements of the conduit guide vanes, dampers, mounted on the ledges, moving in the slots in the bottom walls of the working elements, and pressurized compartments with servo motors and arc and increase hydroelectric power.
This technical result is achieved due to the fact that hydroelectric power plant includes installed in the stream near the shore the intake duct with the upper inclined, lateral and lower bottom walls, with decreasing flow cross-section, provided at the input protective grilles connected to a conduit of rectangular cross-section, composed of run-off, turning, graduation, and standardized work items in the side wall are covered with the valve hole, which includes the working blade vertical-axis of capsule units, fitted with devices for regulating and stabilizing the number of revolutions of the capsules and placed in the cylindrical housings of the working chambers with a cutout installed removable on moving platforms that move with the help of motors and mechanisms installed in an airtight compartments on reference sites, attached to work items of the conduit.

When it comes to floral arrangements, beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.
Just ask Naomi Watts, who was spotted buying a bouquet of sticks from a florist in Manhattan, New York on Wednesday.
While most people would have preferred a bunch of roses or peonies, the Gypsy star instead opted for some sprawling twigs.
The mother-of-two cut a casual figure, wearing dark blue leggings, a pink knitted jumper and khaki trench coat.
Naomi completed her look with white sneakers, pink cat-eye sunglasses, and a black handbag.
She styled her cropped blonde hair loosely appeared to go makeup free for the occasion.
It comes after Naomi, who is known for films including The Ring and King Kong, revealed her secrets to looking so youthful at 50.
She took to Instagram last week to recommend Onda Beauty, a brand known for its 'clean, non-toxic beauty and wellness' products.
Naomi told her fans to 'stay hydrated', adding that she keeps fit thanks to Pilates, yoga and dancing.
Meanwhile, Naomi is gearing up to star in the highly-anticipated prequel to Game of Thrones on HBO.
The series, which is yet untitled, will begin filming early this summer.
Naomi was in a relationship with actor Liev Schreiber for 11 years before they split in 2016. The former couple share two sons: Sasha and Samuel.


Did you know that most sales reps actually don't spend their time selling? A recent survey and report published by InsideSales showed that sales reps only spend 36.6% of their time actually selling. This means that your company could be losing revenue and wasting resources on internal sales hires.
Oddly enough, sales reps claim that they actually find spending time interacting with people on Facebook was more effective than a lot of internal related activities. They claim that interacting with their peers on Facebook was 7% more effective when it comes to closing deals than dealing with internal policies.
They also believe that internal policies, the time it takes to get approval for deals, and meetings was actually slowing down their sales process.
Most sales people will tell you that CRMs are the bread and butter for closing deals, but in fact sales reps only spend an average of 18% of their time actually on a CRM. They felt that this is similar to "data crunching" that a lot of people in Finance have to do and felt that a lot of the task is an unnecessary waste of time.
In terms of valuable systems, CRM was rated lowest. They also explicitly called CRM out as the most frustrating or not directly valuable to a sales reps objectives.
This doesn't necessary mean that a CRM isn't necessary or effective, but it shows that a lot of repetitive tasks that companies require their sales reps to do on the CRM can be a time killer.
I believe that spending time on meetings and customer interaction is important in sales especially when you need to be closing deals and upgrading customers, but I also believe that internal policies and approvals taking up 12.8% of their time can be avoided.
12% of a sales reps time is spent on researching target accounts and contacts. This means doing research on the prospect, inbound leads, and more, but how necessary is this?
From my experience, reps actually spent more than 12% of their time researching leads. It's more close to 25–30%. That is A LOT of time dedicated to researching leads, finding their emails, and ensuring that they craft the perfect pitch.
I believe that this can be avoided and that the cost of resources can be lowered by outsourcing it to a quality data enrichment and lead generation company.
This is why we built GrowthOK, to provide sales reps with quality leads along with custom data points and research all included in one package.
It seems that from the research report that most sales reps actually don't spend enough time closing and this can be a huge downfall and stall for your company. Because of this, I believe that all companies should revamp their internal process and consider outsourcing all the unnecessary tasks to ensure that the sales peeps can focus on what they're good at.
