This past week Rosie got to take a short walk around parts of the farm under saddle. I had a feeling she hadn't been out in the world at large much before I got her so it was time to test out my theory. My guess is that she was kept in a stall and only let out for short times in a paddock or to work. She's gotten the whole, "Oh, I stay out all day now," thing down pretty well and she's adapted to being the only girl in the herd. She still hangs near Blue most of the time but occasionally she can be seen with Grady or Sami. Blue can be a grumpy old man and although older men should be wiser and safer sometimes he's just a pain. Sorry Blue, but you are.
After she was mounted in the outside arena and thought she was going to work in there, she got a surprise and was walked out and down the driveway to the gravel road by the pond. She wasn't too crazy about the pond because there is a beehive beside it and there are huge carp in there that can be seen swimming near the surface at times. Even Grady spooks when the carp swim by. So, for her first time out she wasn't forced to stay anywhere she wasn't comfortable because she was a little nervous. Next, she went on with her excellent adventure to explore the path around the outside of the indoor arena. This went a little more smoothly in the absence of strange wildlife. She then was taken into the catch pen and into the next paddock to walk around in the shade under the trees. She's not only used to being in there everyday, but there was a nice breeze in the morning so it wasn't too hot yet, and it seemed like a nice way to end the ride.
What I like about Rosie is even though she gets worried or nervous, she doesn't have a big spook in her. She doesn't bolt or spin. The most she does is break into her little western jog. It must be what she feels safest with and so she reverts to her comfort zone. Which is totally manageable. After this successful outing, Rosie will have lots more time out of the ring and little by little she will go farther afield as she gets used to being out by herself.
Now, it would help if Sami would stop calling to her the whole time she's away from him!
Fun walkabout exploring new things with your girl! I like your non-forcing approach, and ending with a familiar spot. I bet the more you do it, the less Sami will call.
For a little guy Sami has a very big mouth! He just wouldn't stop calling her, good thing she pretty much ignored him though.
Yes! I'm just about ready to start riding tool. It was cool here today, but I was too busy to make my debut in the saddle. Rebel is quite like Rosie!
The weather has been so miserable but I think or hope it will start to cool off and the biting insects will disappear. Rebel seems such a steady eddy sweetheart I'm sure you'll have a lot of great rides.
I like your analysis of bolting versus jigging. My horse cowboy, was like that, too. Like you, I always felt I could handle it. I think riding out near home is the most challenging, so if she is doing that pretty well, it says a lot of good about her. I feel more safe putting them in the trailer and taking them down the road to a neutral spot. But when I ride around here, they act up much more. It sounds like you are having a lot of fun with her!
We are having fun getting to know each other. She's very sweet and a people horse. She likes attention and snuggles and hugs and scratches. She really enjoys being groomed too. So it's all good.
What a great way to get her used to things. The idea that she had such limited turn out is sad.
I'm not sure about her turnout situation with previous owners but I do know she had limited turnout in the sale barn for about a year. She does like to look around at things, which is fine. I prefer a horse to check things out and be able to deal with different situations.
Wow! She's really settling in nicely. When we got Cody we met him in a huge western barn that had many Quarter horses and they lived exactly as you describe - in stalls almost all the time with very limited turnout (which they were taken to by someone in a golf cart holding a long lead line) and mostly ridden in windowless indoor arenas that were accessed through long indoor hallways. There was loud music playing nonstop. It would have driven me mad to ride there, much less live there. But Cody is a wonderful guy and he does a very simple spook-in-place that rarely happens but isn't at all difficult to manage when he does it. For years that little western jog was his default gait but gradually we encouraged him to open up his body and express himself a bit. My goal for the fall is to get him back into work. We'll have to share notes! :) She looks amazing in that saddle!!
It always amazes me how adaptable horses are. They simply adjust to their surroundings given time. The barn where Cody lived sounds like it would have driven me crazy too. I like peace and quiet.
Rosie sounds a real delight! Such a good girl even when she's unsure. I love reading your progress with her, especially your approach of not forcing and thinking of the horse's needs.
Hi Joy, good to hear from you. Sami does like her and she seems to like him too. She's usually hangs near him or Blue during the day.

Q: In a time varying magnetic field why is the current flowing through a conducting wire connecting two points of a closed conducting loop zero? In a Time Varying Magnetic Field like the one shown in the picture below,

if we connect two points on the closed conducting loop using a conducting wire, why is the current flowing zero ?
My textbook says something like "the emf and the potential drop across the connected points will cancel each other out". But I could not understand the meaning of the statement. Can someone please clarify ?

A: Superposition Theorem: The total current in any part of a linear circuit equals the algebraic sum of the currents produced by each source separately.

Let resistance per unit angle subtended at the center (in radians)  of conducting loop be $\lambda$.
Total EMF ($E_{total}$ ) around a circular path in a TVMF is $ \dfrac{d\phi}{dt}=A \dfrac{dB}{dt} $ (where $A$ is the area of the circle)
We join points A and B on the loop. Suppose AB subtends an angle $\theta$ at the centre C.
Now considering only minor arc :
$E_{AB,minor}=\dfrac{E_{total}\theta}{2\pi}$
$i_{AB,minor}=\dfrac{E_{total}\theta}{2\pi \lambda \theta}=\dfrac{E_{total}}{2\pi \lambda }$
$E_{AB,major}=\dfrac{E_{total}(2\pi-\theta)}{2\pi}$
$i_{AB,major}=\dfrac{E_{total}(2\pi-\theta)}{2\pi \lambda (2\pi-\theta)}=\dfrac{E_{total}}{2\pi \lambda }$
Now, in the connecting wire AB currents $i_{AB,major}$ and $i_{AB,minor}$ are in opposite directions and cancel each other out, giving a net current of $0$ in the wire by Superposition Theorem.

Gender-Related Systematics in the NRAO and ALMA Proposal Review Processes
About (English version):
A study has been made of the evidence for gender-related systematics in the proposal review processes for the four facilities operated by NRAO: the Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA; hereafter VLA), the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile which is operated by NRAO/AUI in partnership with the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the National Astronomical Observatories of Japan (NAOJ), in cooperation with the Republic of Chile. A significant gender-related effect is found in the proposal rankings in favor of men over women in the ALMA Proposal Review Processes (PRP) for ALMA Cycles 2-4, with reliability of 99.998% that the underlying rank distributions for male and female PIs are not the same. The effect is largest and most significant for ALMA Cycle 3. A similar overall result is found for the other three NRAO telescopes over proposal Semesters 2012A-2017A, but with lower reliability level overall (98.3%), and with some reversals across semesters in the trend for better performance in the rankings for male PIs. The results align with similar studies recently completed for the HST (Reid 2014) and the ESO proposal review processes (Patat 2016). No correlations are found between the gender-related proposal ranking trends and the gender fractions on review panels. The HST and ESO proposal reviews have come to different conclusions from each other on the role of seniority on the gender-related proposal outcomes at those observatories. The currently available data for the ALMA and NRAO user base do not allow us to investigate the important question of the dependence on the gender-related trends of the seniority of the principal investigators.

Preaching Punchlines:
The Ten Commandments of Comedy
Waiting in the wings is an untapped power that can transform the craft of preaching. It isn't studied or taught because it has been mistaken as trivial or simply the means to get a laugh. What is this ignored superpower? The art of stand-up comedy.
In Preaching Punchlines: The Ten Commandments of Comedy, Susan Sparks brings two decades of experience as a preacher and a professional stand-up to mine the strategies comedians have employed for years. Lessons include framing messages that people will listen to, remember, and share; finding your creative voice; building bridges and community; and bringing full authenticity in the pulpit. The art of stand-up comedy is not just about jokes; it's about developing intimacy, honesty, and trust—three dynamics that must be present before any sermon is truly heard.
How many preachers ever think, 'My congregation deserve joy'? But that's the key question that Susan Sparks puts to us in this lively, practical and searching book, which will make seasoned(i.e. jaded) preachers think again and look at what is demanded of them in what ought to be the joyful role of communicating the divine comedy of healing and transfiguration.
Rowan (not Atkinson, alas) Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury
It should be obvious that the Rev. Susan Sparks has a great sense of humor when she is asking me, a Jew, to write a few words about her new book where she tries to teach preachers how to infuse their sermons with comedy. She has done a wonderful job giving a road map to the clergy on just how to do it. In lovely sweet and humorous lessons, she has done a wonderful job that is simple, direct and to the point. She has given a road map to helping find one's sense of humor and how to use it. From preachers to public speakers, its a book you're going to want to read and refer to. With what I've learned I just may show up preaching at a Church near you.
Lewis Black, comedian
A preacher with a motorcycle, cowboy boots, a wicked sense of humor and a heart that warms you like a huge southern style breakfast. That's my pastor!
Tamron Hall, Broadcast journalist, and television host
"It's no secret that a cross-section of American society regard stand-up comedians as the prophets of our day. A comedian's capacity to speak truth-to-power, hold up a mirror of self-criticism, and make us laugh at the absurd is their true gift. As both comedian and preacher, Susan Sparks is neither ready to cede the centrality of the Gospel nor accept the conventional, dull Sunday morning pulpit sedative. Preaching Punchlines provides playful and practical exercises to enliven our sermons and thus finally awaken those in the pews."
Dr. Jonathan L. Walton, Harvard Divinity School, Pusey Minister to the Memorial Church
The amazing Susan Sparks has come down from the mountaintop carrying two stone tablets with 10 comedy commandments just for preachers (there were 15, but unfortunately she dropped a tablet). Susan has beautifully distilled exactly how to bring more humor, warmth, joy, and impact to our sermons. This is the most fun book on preaching you'll ever read!
Rev. Peter M. Wallace, producer & host, "Day1," and author of "The Passionate Jesus" and "Heart and Soul"
Preaching Punchlines: The Ten Commandments of Comedy is Susan Sparks at her best in blending grace-filled faith and laughter. She reminds us that worship should be and can be a joyful experience. Preaching Punchlines is packed full of practical advice and words of wisdom about using humor to connect with congregations, embracing creativity in preaching, and framing sermons so that people will listen, remember, and share.
Pam Durso, Executive director, Baptist Women in Ministry Atlanta, Georgia
Susan Sparks is a beloved preacher and nationally known speaker thanks to her skill wrapping wisdom in humor. In her newest book, Preaching Punchlines, Susan — well — preaches what she practices!
Rabbi Bob Alper, Comedian and author
Susan Sparks is a refreshing voice of hope in a time of doubt and of humor in a time of angst. While not denying the shadowy sides of life, her bright and bold perspective consistently helps us locate the Light. A don't miss read for preachers … and everybody else who needs a faith lift!
Dr. Michael B. Brown, author, minister, professor, speaker
Religion is too important to leave in the hands of the joyless. In Preaching Punchlines, pastor and stand-up comedian Susan Sparks teaches us to use laughter to shatter our defenses and open our hearts. This is a book for anyone who knows that laughter and love work best when they work together.
Rabbi Rami Shapiro, author, teacher and speaker

Unfortunately the skies above the KeebleCare office in Bury St Edmunds remained stubbornly and uniformly grey with cloud for the entire duration of the eclipse (although typically it is turning into a bright sunny day now). Therefore disappointingly we did not get to see anything of this event, merely got to experience a slight darkening of the skies and a noticeable drop in temperature.
However, our friend and Journalist Mike Gormley did have better luck with the skies in Honiton in Devon and managed to capture this sequence of images.

MLSE FOUNDATION LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN TO 'CHANGE THE GAME' AS KEY PILLAR OF ORGANIZATION'S EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMITMENT
Campaign will aim to raise and commit to investing $30 Million to create more equitable opportunities for youth
As part of its work in the community to address social injustice and fighting racism and discrimination, MLSE Foundation launched 'Change the Game' today, a campaign that will raise awareness and aim to raise and commit to investing $30 million to help eliminate barriers facing thousands of youth, giving them more equitable opportunities to recognize and reach their potential.
The 'Change the Game' campaign reflects the realities that some of our youth face systemic and inequitable barriers which creates an unlevel playing field. Recognizing sport's ability to change lives, this campaign was created by MLSE Foundation, the charitable arm of MLSE, and introduced as part of the company's overall commitment to advancing equity, diversity and inclusion.
"This is bigger than sport. MLSE Foundation recognizes the importance of our voice in the community and our opportunity and responsibility to lead on the issue of equity, diversity and inclusion," said Tanya Mruck, Executive Director of MLSE Foundation. "With the support of the Maple Leafs, Raptors, Toronto FC, the Argonauts and the entire organization, MLSE Foundation has spent the last decade intentionally investing more than $45 million into kids and communities faced with barriers, however, the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the urgency of the social justice movement, have shown that we must do more. 'Change the Game' will help level the playing field for thousands of youth in our city and province and give them a more equitable opportunity for success."
The Change the Game campaign will enable MLSE to contribute to building a more equitable city, building on the community investment pillars to create social change developed by the MLSE Foundation that has raised and invested more than $45 million over the past 10 years. MLSE Foundation will aim to raise and commit to investing $30 million over the next four years to build equity through proven community investment streams, allowing increased support of community partners, providing greater access to free sport programs, empowering community building and creating opportunities for leadership focused on equity, diversity and inclusion.
Part of the investment campaign will fund community grants to support Ontario-based organizations that are using sport and recreation to build healthy communities, with Black and Indigenous youth as priority demographics. Additionally, it will fund MLSE Foundation community programs and MLSE LaunchPad's free Sport for Development programming for youth facing barriers in downtown Toronto, continue to refurbish athletic facilities in priority neighbourhoods and make investments in research to measure and improve youth sport access, engagement and equity across Ontario.
Those interested in learning more about the Change the Game campaign's community investment plan, can visit mlsefoundation.org.

Family Gets $750k After SWAT Raided Their Home, Killed Their Dog—Over Unpaid Utility Bill
Dozens of Children Left Traumatized After Watching Police Kill Homeless Man at Park
Eva Decesare June 12, 2015
Miami police officer guns down homeless man in front of a group of children.
Miami, FL — A Miami police officer gunned down a homeless man in close proximity to a group of children Thursday morning, according to eyewitnesses. Up to 60 people witnessed the killing.
Fritz Severe, 46, was approached by officers responding to a call reporting a violent dispute, according to Miami Police Chief Rodolfo Llanes. Witnesses say he was confronted by two officers, one of whom unloaded five bullets into the man after her did not drop a metal stick he was known to carry around with him. One woman told Local 10,
"He was a homeless man, wasn't bothering nobody…The man walks around, we see him every morning with his stick, the same little stick that he had in his hand when the police officer shot him five times."
Witnesses also told reporters he was not moving aggressively toward police.
As many as 50 kids were said to be at the park on a summer camp outing.
"The kids were hysterical. They didn't know what was happening. They just ran," witness Clarence Bonner told WSVN.
Chief Llanes gave very little details during a press conference, stating only that he knows the officer discharged his weapon.
Llanes qualified the lack of information by stating "We have anywhere between 40 and 60 witnesses that we have to interview, some of them being kids," and added that he also did not know the trajectory of the assassin's bullets.
Wait, what? They couldn't even get the location of the trigger-happy officer at the time of the shooting before this press conference? Good work boys.
Officials have also stated that the killer cop, Antonio Torres a 20-year veteran, has been put on paid administrative leave pending a full investigation, which is protocol for every officer-involved shooting in most departments.
Enjoy that vacation officer, I'm sure it's well-deserved.
We will update this with details as they arise.

This article describes the process by which faculty at Ghent University enculturate graduate students into a Disability Studies in Education (DSE) perspective within a culture that actively supports segregation of students with disabilities. Our curriculum centers around "a pedagogy of hope"—a way of thinking and working in which problems, solutions, and roles are defined differently from the traditional models of disability. To illustrate this work, we present five key incidents (real-life vignettes) that have occurred within the day-to-day interactions with the students and analyze the significance of these incidents in regard to student growth. We conclude with a discussion of ten basic elements of DSE that are central to research, teaching, and action.

Aʅice W. would love your feedback! Got a few minutes to write a review?
A deep exhale, and the appearance of smoke, left the lips of the archer. This frozen wasteland was making it hard to breathe, for every slow breath felt like a thousand needles pricking the inside of her lungs. It was difficult, but withstandable.
Suddenly movement caught those keen eyes, and stuck to the target as the compound bow was brought upright. Two fingers gripped the strings, and slowly withdrew back till resistance refused further pull. A deep breath, body stiffening as alignment was fixated on the man yards away from her position.
Hold… she told herself, eyes squinted slightly, and noticed two other men near her target. Not a problem.
The string snapped from her fingers, hand at her cheek, holding the bow still. The arrow flew fast, and silent, at least until it made contact. It broke through flesh, sticking out of the mans back, for a split second it was there, before it exploded of course. In that instant she exhaled, smoke appeared again as oxygen left her lips, but a small grin was on those slightly parted thin lines.
"Target down, Outrider out." She spoke aloud, the same two fingers that pulled the arrow at her ear. Her left arm lowered the compound bow, and Alessandra took a moment to catch her breath as she listened over the coms.
"Quick work," the voice said. "Guess you didnt need me, huh?" They sounded disappointed, and maybe a little annoyed.
"Like I said before, Battery, I can take care of myself. You didnt need to follow me on this mission." Outrider said as she jumped down from the tree she was previously hidden in, causing fresh snow to puff into the air upon touching ground.
"Maybe I like quiet sometimes, not a loud American thundering at my heels." The smaller woman retorted, and took a step past the other woman only to stop short as the arm of the blonde smacked the tree in front of her face. "What is your problem?" Outrider scowled.
Erin had a blank expression, it caught Alessandra off guard well enough she gripped her compound tightly. She was ready to use it to deflect whatever may come next, because it felt like she was about to get punched.
Punched was an extreme, instead the archer was shoved into the tree vausing her to gasp in shock. Battery took the opportunity of those parted lips to seal them with her own, pressing Outrider into the tree.

My holiday wish is to have everyone back safe and sound in 2005! As you have heard by now, Sean OKeefe is leaving NASA. He was asked to be a candidate as chancellor at Louisiana State University, which he intends to accept. Sean will stay on board with NASA until a new administrator is selected. Sean has proven to be an excellent leader, leading us through the difficult times of the Columbia accident and boldly putting in place the right strategies for the new Vision for Space Exploration. We wish Sean, Laura and their family much success in his new career; we know he will excel in his leadership to LSU. This has been a special month, and I appreciate everyone turning out for both the KSC holiday picnic and holiday coffee. They were both spectacular events as we honored our hurricane heroes and socialized with our KSC family. I thank everyone who took the time to throw two first-class events. Judging by the smiles and feedback, thousands of people had a very enjoyable time. I want to thank the KSC One NASA Team for the super Leader Led Workshop held yesterday. I hope everyone had a chance to attend or catch the main session on NASA TV. It was super to have leaders such as Fred Gregory, Retired Adm. Craig Steidle and Lynn Cline share with us their views on the Agencys transformation and brief us on the progress of the Vision for Space Exploration. After hearing their presentation, Im excited about Return to Flight and the challenges in 2005. Congratulations to our Space Shuttle program on two significant Return to Flight milestone accomplishments that will be completed by the end of the year. First, all three of Discoverys main engines were installed and are ready for final processing for the May-June launch. Second, by the end of next week, stacking of the Solid Rocket Boosters for STS-114 will be completed. With the external tank set for arrival in early January from Michoud, its obvious the wheels for Return to Flight are quickly turning. My congratulations to the team, and I look forward to the external tank arrival after the new year. January 3, 2005 represents a special day for many people, as this is the official retirement date for several NASA employees. Im sure many of our contractor partners are making retirement plans, as well. I want to personally thank all of you for your faithful service to our Agency and country, whether it was for 20, 30, or in some cases, 40 years and beyond. The legacy of accomplishment you leave behind is what we will build upon to achieve the Vision for Space Exploration. When an American astronaut lands back on the Moon, then on Mars, and one day travels beyond our universe, you can rest assured your work played a part in our success. So to all of our retirees, God bless, good luck, and enjoy your golden years! To everyone, from Bernie and me, have a joyous holiday season, a wonderful new year, and well see everyone back here safe and sound in 2005!"When an American astronaut lands back on the Moon, then on Mars, and one day travels beyond our universe, you can rest assured your work played a part in our success." the Space Shuttles safety and management programs. He was a key architect of the presidents new Vision for Space Exploration, announced in January during a historic speech at NASA Headquarters in Washington. The new Vision for Space Exploration led a transformation of NASA and has positioned the Agency to meet the challenges of safely returning the Space Shuttle to flight, completing the International Space Station, exploring the complexities of our home planet, and going back to the Moon, on to Mars and beyond. The president and Congress have demonstrated their faith in us, added Administrator OKeefe. We need to seize this opportunity. NASA has a new direction that will push the boundaries of technology, science, space flight and knowledge, and will inspire new generations of explorers for years to come and secure this great nations future. Encouraging students to study mathematics, science and technology has been a priority for the administrator. In April 2002, he unveiled a new Educator Astronaut Program, in which a select few of the most outstanding teachers would be chosen to join NASAs Astronaut Corps. The new Educator Astronaut candidates were introduced in May on Space Day. During his tenure, Administrator OKeefe realized a number of significant mission triumphs, including Cassinis exploration of Saturn and its moons, the recent successful hypersonic test flights of the X-43A and the historic landing of the twin Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity on the red planet in January.

SPACEPORT NEWS December 17, 2004 Page 7By Jennifer Wolfinger Staff WriterWe all know food energizes our bodies, but corn and other grain products are now providing ethanol fuel for several hundred vehicles at KSC. Housed at the station behind the Headquarters Building, the renewable energy is typically produced from corn and other grain products relying on the fermentation of the plants sugars. Its a constant resource that doesnt deplete oil supplies, said Dennis McGilvray, station owner. This fuels other name, E85, refers to its 85-percent ethanol composition. The remaining 15 percent is gasoline. While it causes slightly reduced mileage and power, E85 does reduce greenhouse gas emissions and is biodegradable. E85 also lessens our foreign fuel co-dependency. Selling for nearly the same price as unleaded gasoline, ethanol isCenter opens first ethanol fuel station for vehiclesdomestically produced, making U.S.-grown feed grains more valuable. Additional ethanol resources, such as agricultural and forestry wastes, are under investigation. Wood, cheese whey, potato and brewery waste are a few specific examples that may prove economical. After ethanol is produced, the remaining protein, minerals, vitamins and fibers are sold as livestock feed. Carbon dioxide escapes through processing, but no need to worry; crops capture the emissions as nutrients and the cycle repeats. In the case of a spill, ethanol also poses less environmental risk than oil or gasoline, as ethanol degrades quickly in water. Alternative fuel vehicles run on ethanol or gasoline. However, gasoline engines shouldnt fill up on E85. Recognizing E85s benefits, the Center not only welcomes the fuel, but is home to 364 ethanol-compliant vehicles as well. This effort is a response to a 1992 presidential Energy Policy Act.BRUCE CHESSON, NASA traffic management specialist, and student intern Jennifer Alvarado pump ethanol fuel into alternative-fuel government vehicles at the Citgo gas station behind the Headquarters building.Ethanol vehicles are called Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFV) due to their ability to run on ethanol (E85), gasoline or any combination of the two fuels. E85 is a blend of 85 percent denatured ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. Ethanol is produced mainly from corn, but can be made from virtually any starch feed stock such as sugar cane, wheat or barley. Because ethanol is produced from crops, it is a renewable fuel and reduces the nations dependence on imported oil. The adaptable fuel has grown in popularity. There areFacts about ethanol vehiclesapproximately 100 refueling sites in North America, and a continually developing infrastructure. FFVs automatically adjust for any mixture for environmentally sound driving. On-board sensors monitor the fuel mixture and the on-board computer adjusts spark timing and fuel flow to optimize performance. Flexible Fuel Vehicles, including those that meet California emission standards, can be ordered and serviced through any dealership.

Q: Delete Relationship with JPQL I have two JPA entities, lets call them A and B.
An A has a ManyToMany Relation to B.
@Entity
class A {
    @ManyToMany
    List<B> bobjects;
}

@Entity
class B {
    String id;
}

I now need to remove a number of B objects from the List in an A object, retaining the B Object.
Naively, I'd iterate over the list, remove the ones I want to remove, and save A again. But this is too slow, the list can become quite long.
I want to remove via JPQL by supplying a list of IDs, but I don't know how to remove the relationship only, I can remove the B objects, but I want to keep them.
This is how far I've gotten.
DELETE FROM A a.bobjects WHERE a.bobjects IN :bIds

Is this possible?
Thanks in advance

← Renault sale still not done says Lotus boss Carter
Sainz out of hospital and keen to race on Sunday →
Horner on Renault: "This is F1, and nothing is impossible…"
Christian Horner has dropped the biggest hint yet that Red Bull could yet end up staying with Renault power in 2016.
The team always had a contract that run into next season, but has been trying to negotiate its way out of the deal in recent weeks. However Renault now seems to be the only realistic option, and Bernie Ecclestone has been trying to smooth the waters.
"At the end of the day nothing as we stand here is fixed," Horner told Sky TV. "We're working on lots of different scenarios. Obviously Bernie is actively involved as well, he's keen to find a solution, and we need to. This team is too good not to be involved in F1, and there's an awful lot of staff members whose futures depend on this decision, and therefore it's important that we make the right one.
"I believe we will find a solution, and hopefully one that's right for the team for the future."
Pressed on what the realistic options were he said: "There's lot of rumours at the moment, everybody's got an opinion on what we should or shouldn't do, and so on. In many respects we are a victim of our own success, and you can understand the trepidation that other manufacturers who have their own teams have in terms of supplying us.
"But we'll find a solution, we'll work our way through it, and hopefully we'll find something that gives us the opportunity to fight for race wins and victories in the future. Everything's open. Well, pretty much everything.
"Nothing is officially finished with Renault yet. Again there's lot of speculation. It's difficult to envisage how we go forward. But this is F1, and nothing is impossible. We are still waiting to hear what are Renault's plans for the future. Are they going to buy Lotus, are they going to stop themselves?"
In stark contrast to the criticism he's heaped on Renault recently Horner indicated some support for the French manufacturer.
"What you don't see is what happens behind the scenes, and the commitment that's gone in to trying to make this power unit work, the investment that's been made, and the solutions that have been provided.
"My priority is seeing Red Bull in F1 next year, I want to see our cars with our drivers on the grid, That means taking to all parties that have a potential interest in us being here next year."
He confirmed that in the end, it will be Dietrich Mateschitz's call.
"That ultimately will be his choice. All I can do is present some good options in front of him for him to make that final call. He's passionate about this team, Red Bull have probably invested more in F1 than any company over the last 10 years. He cares about the employees, he cares about what the future of the company is.
"He's been around F1 for 20 years now, firstly as a sponsor, then as a team owner. He just wants to see us in a position where we can compete. Hopefully we can come to some conclusions which will enable us to do that."

4 responses to "Horner on Renault: "This is F1, and nothing is impossible…""
Horner's humiliation is almost complete. A year of bad mouthing Renault in public to engineer a break-up while threatening that Red Bull would quit the sport, presumably thinking Bernie would get them a deal. Flatly refused by Mercedes who have nothing to gain by helping them. He then calls Ferrari offer of a B spec engine an insult which p's them off. Now he has to slowly soften his language on Renault just in case nothing else is available. This has been the perfect lesson in how not to win friends and influence people.
Heard some pundits suggesting that it's wrong that the others teams are able to decide who to supply their engines to in order to not help a competitor. Surely the point is that F1 is a sport where it's just as (if not more) important to get the politics right as the anything else. Keep the sponsors happy, keep the suppliers happy, keep the fans happy – do all of that in the right way and you'll never be short of friends…Manor have played that game to perfection.
I had a very different interpretation of Horner's "support", which was that they'd spent a bunch at Ilmor getting a combustion redesign only for that to be rejected by Renault.
Peterg
Matershitz and Horner's multiple statements about Renault, in the absence of a done deal with another PU supplier, constitutes the best own goal I have ever seen. Talk about shooting yourself in both feet! They seemed to believe they were entitled to a Mercedes lump. I have absolutely no sympathy for their predicament. 4 WC's on the trot with Renault, followed by a poor 2014 (by Red Bull standards) and they were lashing out from the get go.
However, Cleary Horner has no control over his boss's ultimate decision. What an astonishing position to be in. Vettel chose his exit timing well.

Canada's Libya mission tab at $26M and counting
CTV.ca News Staff Published Thursday, June 9, 2011 5:09PM EDT
Defense minister Peter MacKay listens to questions during a media conference at a meeting of NATO defense ministers at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Thursday, June 9, 2011. (AP / Virginia Mayo)
Canada's mission to Libya has cost $26 million to date, and the price tag will likely more than double by the fall, said Defence Minister Peter MacKay at a NATO summit.
Canada is a participant in a NATO-led mission to protect Libya's civilian population from fighters loyal to Moammar Gadhafi.
"The cost of this leadership, with respect to Canada's contribution to protect civilian lives, is estimated currently at $26 million until June 2, and we need to continue the momentum we've achieved thus far," MacKay told a news conference Wednesday in Brussels.
On Tuesday, MPs will vote in the House of Commons on a proposal to extend the four-month old Libya mission to September, a move that would be in line with NATO's timeline.
Doing so, MacKay said, would bring the cost of the mission to about $60 million.
The costs are associated with Canada's fighter and patrol planes which have been helping protect civilians since March when the United Nations voted to impose a no-fly zone over Libya.
On Wednesday, retired Major-General Lewis MacKenzie told CTV.ca the three-month extension would provide little comfort to Libyans hoping for long-term security.
While Libyan rebels initially made great strides in their uprising to oust Gadhafi, the battle has slipped into stalemate in recent weeks. While rebels control large parts of eastern Libya, Gadhafi's stronghold is in the west.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said recently NATO has no plans to remain in Libya after the conflict ends.

'I Don't Believe You': Prince George's County Teacher Ignored Child's Report of Sexual Abuse, Lawsuit Says
Published March 2, 2016 • Updated on March 2, 2016 at 7:16 pm
A 9-year-old boy told his fourth-grade teacher a school aide was sexually abusing him on school grounds, but the teacher ignored him, according to a new lawsuit in the troubling child pornography and sex abuse case in Prince George's County, Maryland.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday says the child told his teacher at Sylvania Woods Elementary School in Glenarden that school volunteer and choir director Deonte Carraway was molesting him, but the teacher told him to return to his seat.
"I don't believe you. Go sit down," the suit says the teacher said.
Families previously have said school administrators failed to take action when they were informed of possible abuse, but this is the first time a teacher has been accused of ignoring an account of abuse.
On Monday, a federal grand jury indicted Carraway on 13 counts of sexually exploiting children. Prosecutors say the Glenarden resident filmed videos of children age 9 to 12 having sex with him and each other at the elementary school and other locations in Maryland. Prince George's County police have identified 17 victims.
Sexual abuse victim advocate Lisae Jordan said the teacher, who is named in the suit, was obliged to report the student's account to police or child welfare officials even if they did not believe it was true.
"This is a case where a child is saying 'Someone tried to use me to create child pornography.' That teacher should have reported," said Jordan, who is the executive director of the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault.
In Maryland, everyone -- not just teachers -- is required to report child abuse to authorities.
"In Maryland, everyone is a mandatory reporter. So, if you or I know that a child might be being abused, might be being neglected, we have the duty to report that," Jordan explained.
However, while the victim can sue the teacher and school board, in Maryland, the teacher cannot be charged with a crime for not reporting possible abuse.
"There are not criminal penalties in Maryland. That's something that the General Assembly has really struggled over for many years but resisted," Jordan said.
Another gap in Maryland's laws puts children at risk, the advocate said.
"Right now, that teacher could fail to report, the police could know the teacher failed to report, and they wouldn't even have to tell the school board," Jordan said.
The Maryland General Assembly is considering a law to require police to tell a school board if they know of a teacher who did not report possible abuse.
Prince George's County Public Schools declined to comment on the lawsuit and the employment status of the fourth-grade teacher.
"PGCPS has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to abuse reporting," a spokeswoman said. "There is an expectation that staff and administrators report everything."

outfit: queer eye, my 90 year old patient, and the plastic problem.
With all the awful things going on in the world lately, I was yearning for a bit of an escape this weekend, and did so by binge watching new Queer Eye. Does anyone else cry during practically every episode? I think this season is even better than the first. Jonathan is still my favorite of course, but Tan is a close second.
This outfit is plain and simple. Not much to say here.

El paral·lel 76º nord és una línia de latitud que es troba a 76 graus nord de la línia equatorial terrestre. Travessa Europa, Àsia, l'Oceà Pacífic, Amèrica del Nord l'oceà Atlàntic.

Geografia
En el sistema geodèsic WGS84, al nivell de 76° de latitud nord, un grau de longitud equival a  27,016 km; la longitud total del paral·lel és de 9.726 km, que és aproximadament % de la de l'equador, del que es troba a 8.439 km i a 1.563 km del Pol Nord

Com tots els altres paral·lels a part de l'equador, el paral·lel 76º nord no és un cercle màxim i no és la distància més curta entre dos punts, fins i tot si es troben al mateix latitud. Per exemple, seguint el paral·lel, la distància recorreguda entre dos punts de longitud oposada és 4.863 km; després d'un cercle màxim (que passa pel Pol Nord), només és 3.126 km.

Durada del dia
En aquesta latitud, el sol és visible durant 24 hores i 0 minuts a l'estiu, i resta sota l'horitzó tot el dia en solstici d'hivern.

Arreu del món
Començant al meridià de Greenwich i dirigint-se cap a l'est, el paral·lel 76º passa per:

Can This Pipeline Unlock East-African Oil Potential?
By Dave Forest - Apr 25, 2016, 9:47 AM CDT
Critical decision over the weekend on one of the world's most-watched infrastructure developments — in the fast-emerging oil and gas basins of Eastern Africa.
That came from a meeting of the so-called East African Community bloc on Saturday. Where countries including Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi got together — with one of the biggest items for discussion being the route for a massive new oil pipeline in this part of the world.
Here's why this a big deal.
The last several years have seen a lot of oil discovered in both Kenya and Uganda. Onshore Kenya finds by explorers like Africa Oil and Tullow Oil have already reached into the hundreds of millions of barrels. And players like China's CNOOC are actively developing Uganda's reserves. Related: The Real Reason Saudi Arabia Killed Doha
None of these mega-plays are selling oil however. Because of a lack of pipelines to move the crude from inland basins to the coast for export.
East Africa's oil nations have been discussing how best to build such a pipeline. With two major schemes emerging: a Uganda-Tanzania route, and a competing Uganda-Kenya route. The map below shows how the different routes shape up.
Source: qz.com
And here's the big decision: the East African Community bloc decided this weekend to go with the Tanzania oil pipeline route. Related: Horizontal Land Rig Count Summary 22nd April 2016
One of the biggest drivers in the decision was reportedly France's Total. Which is a co-developer of Uganda's oil fields — and which had been concerned about security along the Kenyan export route, especially in areas where the pipe would have passed close to Somalia.
It appears that Total will now get the route they want. With Kenya's oil developers getting the shorter end of the stick — being left on their own to foot the bill for a stand-alone export pipeline.
All indications were that such a Kenya-only pipeline will now proceed, meaning that Kenya's developers will at least have a clearer timeline on first production for their fields. The key now will be financing — watch for news here on how groups like Tullow and Africa Oil will pay for this all-important piece of infrastructure.
Here's to keeping it moving

What's the best way to describe Zenfolio.com? In general, think of it as a website for photographers that basically combines the best parts of Instagram, WordPress, Dropbox, and Getty Images, all in one place.
Officially speaking, Zenfolo.com provides professional photo and video hosting for photographers, with added features and benefits including selling and ordering photos, unlimited media storage, secure client access, media proofing capabilities, and more.
After all, for professional photographers in today's world, the business is about so much more than simply taking great photos. Sure, they're contracted by different individuals or groups to snap artistic pictures of important events, but they also must be able to touch up the photos as needed, display all the photos they took to clients, deliver the final product(s) to their client, and even collect payment for their work.
With that in mind, the story goes that four Silicon Valley friends with a love for photography and a background in technology development banded together to create an online platform for photographers to show off, share, and sell all the great photos they — and others — took.
11 years later, after various spurts of ideas and development, Zenfolio works with over 100,000 photographers all over the world, allowing them to share different types of media for anything ranging from weddings, baby and pet photos, school portraits, school and/or sporting events, landscape and wildlife, general travel imagery, and so much more.
But, again, this is much different than having a board on Pinterest with a bunch of neat photos. Zenfolio.com combines the ability to host and show off these photos with a powerful e-commerce engine that enables these photographers to be compensated for their work and their art.
At the end of the day, Zenfolio.com realizes that the people they want to use their site are photographers and/or videographers, and not web developers. That's why Zenfolio.com gives users the ability to build a beautiful, functional website in a matter of minutes. There are various website "templates" you can choose from, essentially giving photographers the foundation for how they want to position their work.
There are also various styles of website designs, such as having a full-screen page that acts as a "book cover" of sorts for the type of photography you might specialize in; a dynamic grid that shows off all different types of photos, helping photographers who might be good at lots of various niches; and finally, a minimalist homepage layout that places focus on the image itself, which is more geared towards travel and landscape photographers.
Lots of websites lure you in with the idea of being able to share and distribute your media at a low price, but then charge you additional fees as you require more storage space. That's not the case with Zenfolio.com, which offers unlimited photo & video storage, as well as unlimited galleries to organize and showcase all your photos.
On top of that, for photographers who want to share photos with specific clients, Zenfolio.com allows for secure client access to a given set of photos designated by the photographers, which the website allows you to create custom watermarks for. That way, clients can go in and view a preliminary set of photos, comment on which photos they'd like to have adjusted, and mark which photos they'd like to ultimately purchase.
And to make this process easier, photographers and clients can do all of this through their computer, or through the Zenfolio mobile app.
One of the best parts of Zenfolio.com is the robust set of tools and features they offer to photographers, to serve as the backbone of the business component of their work. First and foremost, if you have a domain name — aka, a ".com" for your company — you can have that domain name point to your Zenfolio.com page, making it the central hub for your photography services.
One of the other highly beneficial features that Zenfolio.com offers is its set of integrated marketing tools that come standard with any membership plan. Again, photographers would much rather spend their time working on their photo-based craft, instead of figuring out how to procure their next client.
With Zenfoilio.com, photographers can quickly build email lists, create automated emails, send out coupons and gift certificates, and even leverage a built-in blog functionality, all designed at helping them grow their business and stay top of mind for potential future work.
And once you do get visitors to your site, there's built-in shopping cart functionality that allows buyers to directly make purchases through the site via credit card or even PayPal. Photographers can also use this e-commerce engine to review, edit, and approve client orders, and even provide an effortless way for customers to quickly build photo albums on their own.
Like many web service-based websites, Zenfolio.com offers three tiers of plans, which can either be paid for on a month-to-month basis, or through a one-time annual plan that ends up giving users several months for "free" because of the cost savings (between paying the monthly fee for 12 months versus the one-time annual fee). When you purchase any of the annual plans, you'll immediately save 28% on what you'd otherwise pay through the monthly billing process.
Regardless of what your needs might be, Zenfolio.com gives you a risk-free 14-day trial of the site. That gives you the chance to fully "test drive" what the site has to offer, and see whether or not it works for you. Also, if you time it right. Zenfolio.com often has other great sign-up bonuses they provide to photographers who first join the site. One of the recent features they offered as a free 1:1 consultation on how to best use the Zenfolio.com site, when new users sign up before a certain deadline.
Starts from $5/month when billed annually, or $7/month when billed monthly. This plan is designed for photographers who want to quickly build their website share their work with the world. You get the core features: website & gallery templates, unlimited uploads & storage, and 24/7/365 Customer Support.
The "big kahuna" professional services plan that starts at $30/month when billed annually, or $42/month when billed monthly. As you'd imagine, it's got all the bells and whistles you could possibly want, like multi-user access, advanced order management features, ability to choose packaging and shipping methods, as well as all the features provided in the Starter and Pro plans.
As a baseline for all paying customers, regardless of what plan they're on, Zenfoilio.com offers 24/7/365 Customer Support, which constitutes always-available email support, as well as readily-available on-demand video tutorials and knowledgebase to help answer any questions that might stump any users of the site.
However, one of the major selling points for customers to sign up for the Advanced Plan is the fact that Zenfolio.com offers a dedicated Live Chat & Phone support to these customers, providing instant access to live specialists who are particularly knowledgeable about many of the needs that photographers have for the site.
For the crowd who likes to find the answers to all problems through the power of YouTube tutorials, Zenfolio.com has you covered there as well. Their YouTube channel offers numerous "how to" videos for a variety of different questions that users might have, as well as bunch of recordings for live training sessions the staff at Zenfolio.com had conducted.
Honestly, there aren't any glaring negatives that people have consistently reported on the website.
A few people have commented that some of the billing terms may be a bit tricky and that they were surprised when subscriptions were renewed on their own; i.e. they previously purchased an annual plan they thought they were only going to use for one year, only to find out that their subscription had renewed one year later. Those individuals believed this process was misleading, though they did state that they never explicitly canceled their membership prior to the renewal date.
Also, other users have mentioned that the site does send a hefty volume of emails, almost daily. Those users stated that the "email fatigue" from seeing various promotional and informational emails from Zenfolio.com made it very easy to overlook any important notices or updates that Zenfolio.com sends, since it gets lost in the avalanche of other daily emails.
Otherwise, the clear majority of photographers who have reported using Zenfolio.com have been somewhere between "happy" and "thrilled" with their experience(s). They've applauded how easy it is to design a website that can display all their work, share and sell their photos, and quickly resolve any issues they might have with the site through Zenfolio.com's customer service features.
Given the fact that the site offers the free trial — without having to enter in your credit card information — as well as a 30-day money-back guarantee after the free trial is over, Zenfolio.com seems to be a great option for photographers to explore, if they're looking to take their business to the next level.

«Будівничий з Норвуда» — твір із серії «Повернення Шерлока Холмса»  шотландського письменника Артура Конана Дойля. Уперше опубліковано Strand Magazine у 1903 році.

Сюжет
До Шерлока Холмса та доктора Вотсона приходить молодий юрист з Блекхета, Джон Гектор Макфарлейн, якого звинувачують у вбивстві одного зі своїх клієнтів, будівничого Йонаса Олдакра. Візитер розповідає, що будівничий прийшов до нього напередодні і попросив оформити заповіт. Макфарлейн здивувався змісту слів містера Олдакра, адже своїм єдиним спадкоємцем він зробив його.

Макфарлейн приїздить в Норвуд до Олдакра, щоб розглянути певні документи, які після ознайомлення були поміщені до сейфу. Так як було вже пізно вертатися додому, юрист зупинився в готелі. Зранку в газеті він прочитав про вбивство, у якому звинувачують його.

Існує немало доказів причетності Макфарлейна. На місці вбивства знайдено його палицю. А також те, що вогонь був загашений після вбивства. Здається очевидним, що вбивця Джон Макфарлейн, адже в той час він був у Олдакра.

Розпочавши розслідування, Холмс дізнається, що мати Макфарлейна декілька років тому була заручена, але потім пішла від нього, так як він був настільки жорстоким, що дозволяв кішці спокіно їсти пташок.

Вивчивши заповіт написаний юристом, детектив робить висновок, що він написаний поспіхом, наче тому, хто писав, було все одно, що саме він писав. Також він зазначає, що почерк чергується розбірливим та нерозбірливим, з чого Холмс робить висновок, що заповіт був написаний у потязі, де під час зупинок почерк був розбірливим під час зупинок. Вивчивши всі обставини, він повідомляє інспектору Лестрейду, що, Макфарлейн, якщо Олдакр і був убитий, не причетний до пропажі паперів..

Розслідуючи справу, Холмс розуміє, що в справі задіяна економка містера Олдакра, і що вона є ключем до розгадки справи.

Лестрейд знаходить відбиток пальця, як потім з'ясувалось, Макфарлейна, і вважає, що цього достатньо, для його покарання. Але Холмс зупиняє його зловтіху, пояснюючи це тим, що відбитку не було в перший день розслідування, і що Макфарлейн був весь день під вартою, отже хтось хитрує з ними.

Далі Холмс ще більше вражає Лестрейда та Вотсона. Він імітує пожежу, під час якої з потаємної кімнати зявлвється містер Олдакр, якого всупереч його протестам, затримують.

Вияляється що ця «гра» була влаштована, щоб помститися матері містера Макфарлейна. На жаль, Олдакр переграв зайвого. Також з'ясовується, що горе-жартівник, надсилав собі гроші, отримуючи їх під псевдонімом містера Корнеліуса. Таким чином Олдакр хотів, щоб його вважали мертвим, а самому розпочати «інше життя».

Exodus 3:7-11 continues the account of Moses before God. God's mentioning of the three patriarchs here must have evoked in Moses his deep-seated feelings for both his heritage with the Hebrew people (despite his Egyptian upbringing) as well as the fact of God's redemptive purpose for them.
Note that God does not say "I was" their God, but "I am," implying that they still live (Mark 12:27). This demonstrates God as both protector and covenant benefactor toward His people. The words "I AM" will become God's special name to His chosen people - YWVH, which is pronounced in English as "Yahweh." In Hebrew, the W is pronounced as a V.
The Jews, in fearful reverence, substituted this title for the word "Adonai" which means "My Lord." Seeing God evoked in Moses a sense of dread which is often repeated in the Bible, as in Isaiah 6:1-6.
Jesus uses this very name "I AM" in reference to Himself, which brings forth the condemnations of the Jews in which they seek to stone Him for blasphemy for calling Himself God (John 8:58,59). Yet the church from its inception has recognized in Christ the eternal word made flesh, and having the name above every name (Phillippians 2:11).

Book Review: "Cinderella is Dead" by Kalynn Bayron
Rachel Drummond
"The palace underestimates the resourcefulness of women forced into a dark and dangerous place."
We all know the story of Cinderella, but what if the story we've learned is only just the beginning?
In the new release Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron, Cinderella's death 200 years prior has led to a patriarchal and ruthless society ruled by men, where women are nothing more than prizes to be claimed at the annual ball.
Our heroine, Sophia, wants nothing to do with the barbaric tradition young women are forced into. She doesn't want to attend the ball, she doesn't want a husband, and she doesn't want to live the life her parents and her king tell her she must. She only dreams of escaping with (and marrying) her best friend, Erin, and living as her true self.
This exciting new YA fantasy novel dives headfirst into a society that only looks like a fairytale on the surface. A quick and fun read, it was a joy to follow its heroine – a young, queer, Black girl – on her quest to set things right.
As a lesbian, I'm constantly on the lookout for books that incorporate my two favorite things – magic and LGBT characters. The story will intrigue you with its whispers of fantasy and mystery, and the colorful pictures Bayron weaves of the settings, dresses, and balls. If you're like me, it leaves you wistful for something, nostalgic for the imagination of childhood when anything was possible. But it takes it a step further, because the world in which Sophia lives is anything but perfect. Women have no voice and no power, and even the mention of love outside the confines of a man and woman is punishable with violence. Our beautiful 16 year old Sophia knows she's different, has known it since she was a child, and dreams of a way to escape the vicious cycle. Sophia isn't just a fairytale character, she's a feminist – an apt role model for all of us in our current world.
As Sophia traverses the dangerous terrain of a society where men are all-powerful, I was reminded harshly of our own society. I couldn't help but think while reading, "What an incredible main character that young girls can emulate." Sophia questions things, speaks her mind, and fights back against injustice. I wish I had read a book like this as a teenager or young adult. It has the makings of the books I always sought out, and would read over and over, but has the distinct difference of putting LGBT love in the forefront.
Author Kalynn Bayron
Anyone who enjoys fantasy, fairy tales, or badass heroines will love this book. In fact, my only criticism comes from my gay heart wanting WLW scenes to span the entire novel – there were moments I wished Bayron would have lingered, or dove deeper, but it never made me want to put it down. I devoured it in a day, and I think readers (like me!) will be left excited for whatever Bayron publishes next.
