Joan Rivers terrorized a number of big celebrities when she was alive and performing comedy – Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Kardashian and Gwyneth Paltrow to name just a few. But after her tragic death in 2014, could she be terrorizing again from beyond the grave? That's one possibility as to why the buyer of her Upper East Side previously-haunted apartment in New York City is gutting the entire place. Is the original ghost upset about the remodeling or has Joan's spirit showed up to pick on him about his weight?
Did Joan's renovations stir up a ghost?
Joan moved into the penthouse triplex in 1984. When she started her own renovations, she encountered a ghost named Mrs. Spencer who claimed to be the niece of J.P. Morgan (she didn't say if it was Jr. or Sr.) and was the apartment's original resident. It's hard to believe the ghostly relative of one of the richest men in history would object to Joan Rivers gilding the walls but neighbors warned her that Mrs. Spencer's ghost once tore off the heads of every cherub on a chandelier.
Which brings us to the next chapter. After Joan's death, the apartment was put up for sale and was recently purchased for $28 million by Saudi Prince Muhammad bin Fahd, who immediately brought in workers to gut the penthouse. Why?
Does Prince Muhammad bin Fahd have Joan's spirit stirred up?
It could be the prince heard about Mrs. Spencer and wants her out for good. It could be he wants to show her how they treat "grand dames" in his country. That might be a mistake now that Joan and Mrs. Spencer can work together. Perhaps Joan has already made her presence felt and he's trying to get rid of her too.
Good luck with that. Elizabeth Taylor never could. Is a Saudi prince better at dealing with Joan than Cleopatra?
I knew Prince … Prince was a friend of mine … you're no Prince!

About Chatham-Glyn Fabrics
The heritage of our family business dates back over 100 years to the early 1900's. The current director's great grandfather Isaac Jacobs started the family trade by selling remnant pieces of fabrics in a London Market. His Son Johnny Jacobs took over the business in 1953 with his brother Sid where they started selling Leather fabrics from a market stall in London. This was a very busy time in the Market's without the impact of large stores or the internet gaining such a foot hold in business.
When Johnny's son Ian left school he started to work in his father's company. Chatham Glyn Fabrics was then founded in April 1982 by John Jacobs and his Son Ian Jacobs. Originally Chatham Glyn Fabrics was a wholesaler of upholstery fabrics suppling manufacturers and upholsterers at a time when Industry and manufactering was thriving in the UK.
In the 90's as the upholstery manufacturing trade began to decline here in the UK, Ian Jacobs saw the opportunity to steer the company in the direction of curtain and drapery fabrics. Ian worked tirelessly to grow the company into one of the most respected soft furnishing suppliers in the UK. Ian still remains a constant and welcomed presence within the company whilst still finding the time to enjoy his well earnt semi-retirement.
Ian's three children all joined the business shortly after leaving education. Neil, Gary and Ben Jacobs are all working directors of Chatham Glyn and are extremely passionate about the family trade, all three Sons have key positions within the business and with a collective of over 50 years' experience between them.
The fast growing and newly named division "Crafty by Chatham Glyn" was a vision of the directors who had the idea in 2012 to develop this part of the business. Whilst it has been a challenge, they have worked hard to source competitively priced fabrics whilst maintaining the highest level of quality with cutting edge designs.
With the support of each other and our staff we have managed to take the business to new heights in a short period of time, all the team are excited with the future possibilities and opportunities that lay ahead.
The Jacobs family have a vision to further grow their customer base in the UK and in Europe by constantly adding new qualities and new design to the Crafty Collection.
The company, which employs sixteen people currently and sells through 5 agents in the UK and Ireland have quickly become a recognised brand in the craft and dress fabric sector.
We attend the CHSI (Craft Hobby and Stitch) fair at the NEC every February which has proved an important platform to meet new and existing customers.

Cats Eye Chrysoberyl Gemstone Information
Click here to see all our Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl for sale
Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl is both a popular and extremely valuable gemstone that is genuinely rare, being found only in a few deposits in the world. The chrysoberyl, with its hues ranging from honey-colored to mint green, is a popular gemstone, and one which is esteemed by gemstone lovers the world over. Cat's Eyes are particularly popular in men's jewelry. Cat's Eyes color ranges from a golden honey to mint green, with the rich gold colors generally being the most valued.
The attribute that gives this stone its popularity and name is the phenomena known as chatoyancy, also known in the gem trade as "the cats eye effect". The reason for this fascinating phenomenon is very fine inclusions within the stone. When a light source is directed on these inclusions it creates a bright strip that appears and runs perpendicular to the inclusions. This strip will then glide across the surface of the stone when turned over. Though other gems exhibit this cat's eye effect,they are not as defined and distinct, giving only Chrysoberyl the privilege of having the Cat's Eye name. All other gemstones displaying chatoyancy must have their given name preceding, such as Quartz Cat's Eye.
Another interesting attribute that Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl displays is what is known as the "milk and honey" effect. When a light source is directed at the side of the stone, one side of the eye will be a milky color and opposite side will remain gold. When the stone is rotated, the colors switch.
The most important factor to consider when evaluating Cat's Eye is the strength and sharpness of the eye. The eye of the stone must have a fine line running through it that is distinct and easily recognized. The depth of the stone's color and the level of transparency are also important factors and considerably impact upon the stone's worth. These unique and astonishing characteristics along with its rarity makes Cats Eye a popular choice for connoisseurs and gemstone collectors alike.
The prices and value of Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl can vary tremendously, depending on the size and quality of the gemstone. AJS Gems is your source for the highest quality Cats Eye Chrysoberyl and many other precious colored stones from across the globe, available at Bangkok direct wholesale prices. Creating the finest jewelry starts with finding the best gemstones, and the best gemstones are found at AJS Gems.
There are many reasons, but mainly it comes down to value and choice...
When buying your Cats-Eye Chrysoberyl gemstone loose instead of a pre-set stone, you can be sure that you are getting the best value for your money. Loose gemstones are less expensive, a better value, and you can really see what you are paying for. The most important part of getting the right price and finding the best value is to first see what you're getting. A jewelry setting will hide the inclusions inside a gem, and can deepen or brighten its color. With a loose stone you can much more easily inspect the gem and see it for what it really is. In this way you can get a better idea of its true worth and be sure you are paying a fair price.

Translucent yellowish chatoyant chyrsoberyl is called cymophane or "cat's eye chrysoberyl". Cymophane has its derivation also from the Greek words meaning 'wave' and 'appearance', in reference to the chatoyancy sometimes exhibited. In this variety, microscopic tubelike cavities or needlelike inclusions of rutile occur in an orientation parallel to the c-axis producing a chatoyant effect visible as a single ray of light passing across the crystal. This effect is best seen in gemstones cut in cabochon form perpendicular to the c-axis. The color in yellow chrysoberyl is due to Fe3+ impurities.
Cats eye chrysoberyl is a very hard material, with a hardness of 8.5 on the Mohs scale. Chrysoberyl has distinct cleavage and a vitreous surface luster. Chrysoberyl has a refractive index of 1.745. The refractive index (RI), measured using a refractometer, is an indication of the amount light rays are bent by a mineral. Birefringence is the difference between the minimum and maximum RI. When birefringence is high, light rays reflect off different parts of the back of a stone causing an apparent doubling of the back facets when viewed through the front facet.
Most gems have a crystalline structure. Crystals have planes of symmetry and are divided into seven symmetry systems. The number of axes, their length, and their angle to each other determine the system to which a crystal belongs. Chrysoberyl crystallizes in the orthorohombic crystal system, forming in slender prisms and usually has a "tabular" crystal habit. Crystal twinning is common.
The popular cat's eye chrysoberyls come in many nuances between lemon and greenish yellow, and in honey colors and shades from mint green to brownish green, with rich gold colors generally the most valued. The most important value factor is the strength and sharpness of the eye.
Fine cats-eye chrysoberyl gems often also shows the "milk and honey" effect. When a bright light source is directed at the side of the stone, one side of the eye will be milky white and the other remains gold. When the stone is rotated, the colors switch.
Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl gemstones are always cut as cabochons for it is the only cut that will allow the spectacular cats eye effect to be displayed. When cutting a cabochon, gem cutters will center the cats eye slit so that it bisects the stone. The vast majority of cats eye gems have been native cut with uneven bottoms, but this is not a sign of haphazard work or poor lapidary skills. Specialists in cutting these gems are great masters at revealing and centering an eye, which frequently necessitates such unevenness.
Chrysoberyls exhibiting weak chatoyancy are commonly faceted. Faceted Chrysoberyl has a honey-gold color and is found in shapes such as ovals, cushions, rounds and emerald cuts. It may remind you of yellow sapphire, topaz, or citrine. Faceted chrysoberyl is transparent, with few visible inclusions.
Loose Cats Eye Chrysoberyl gemstones can sometimes be irridated in order to improve color and chatoyancy. But this treatment is quite rare.
Cat's eye chrysoberyls are mostly found in the gemstone deposits of Brazil, Sri Lanka ( Ceylon ) or East Africa. Most chrysoberyl is found as an alluvial deposit in river sands and gravels but can also be found in metamorphic deposits of marble and corundum. Cats eye material is found as a very small percentage of the overall chrysoberyl production wherever chrysoberyl is found.
A cat's eye chrysoberyl crystal rough weighing an astounding 317 carats and a finished gem of 72 carats were displayed at a gem & mineral show in 1997. Both pieces reportedly originated in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Despite these rare finds, this particular form of chrysoberyl is among the rarest gems on earth. The future of the cat's eye chrysoberyl remains uncertain.
The name Chrysoberyl is derived from the Greek words "Beryl", meaning green and "Chryso", meaning golden. The two words combined mean "gold colored beryl". In spite what the name implies, Cat's Eye is not actually a Beryl at all. The name Cat's eye is derived from the phenomena displayed by this stone known as chatoyancy, which in French literally means "cat's eye".
Cats Eye Chrysoberyl gems have been treasured for many centuries, particularly in Sri Lanka ( Ceylon ), where it is believed to be a powerful protective stone, particularly against evil spirits. Chrysoberyl has long been considered a good luck charm in numerous cultures.
As mentioned, Cats Eyes are effective protective stones and talisman. They are believed to induce positive thoughts and help promote tolerance and harmony.
Also because of it's golden hue, it has often been associated with wealth.
Chrysoberyls are known to be associated with discipline and self-control. They are said to promote concentration and the ability to learn and to help the wearer with striving for excellence.
In addition to this, they bring peace of mind, clearer thinking, and increased self-confidence helping one become more understanding of the fact that they have everything they already need to succeed.
A dream of cat's-eye chrysoberyl foretold the coming of a treacherous moment.
Cat's-eye chrysoberyl is the international gemstone of Sri Lanka ( Ceylon ).

Google Trend growth of search interest around an LPN increased a lot from 2005 and saw a small decline from 2009 to 2013. From 2013 to 2015 the trend looks very stable with interest. You can see the dotted lines, which are the forecast going into 2016 that it looks like it will increase slightly more than 2015. The trend is still very solid and shows that LPNs have strong interest surrounded around their profession.
Bureau of Labor Statistics information for LPNs is classified under Licensed Practical & Licensed Vocational Nurses. A very popular profession that is always in the need of more workers had a median salary rate in 2010 of $40,380 a year which is about $19.42 an hour. The BLS updated the median salary rate with 2012 data to $41,540 a year which is about $19.97 an hour. This adds $1,160 a year to the pay and shows a bump in the per hour rate by .55 cents. The total number of LPN jobs available on the market in 2010 was 752,300 with a growth rate of 22% expected to take place from 2010 to 2020. For the newer data for 2012 figures the total LPN jobs available were reported as 738,400 and the growth rate was moved up to 25% from 2012-2020. The old number of jobs reported by the BLS was 168,500 licensed practical nurse jobs and was updated to 182,900 for the healthcare job market.

Antigua Edge Out St. Kitts In Basketball Season Opener
Antigua Warriors 2009 Basketball Team
The 2009 St. Kitts Amateur Basketball Association (SKABA) league opened Sunday night (April 26) with a thrilling battle between two of the Eastern Caribbean"s top teams.
The Antigua Defence Force Warriors, led by Coach Bradbury Browne, are the reigning champions out of Antigua and Barbuda and came into their match-up Sunday night against the SKABA Premier Division Champion Ram"s Hitters ready for victory.
Warriors had the momentum coming into the game after defeating an all-star team from the Challengers Basketball League the night before, and the action at Basketball City was definitely fast-paced as Hitters stars such as Shawn Forbes and Marlon Powell clashed with their Antigua and Barbuda counterparts, Shawn Williams and Marlon Charles.
Though the battle was close throughout the game, Warriors pulled ahead in the final minutes and were able to walk away with the winning score of 81-80.
Despite Forbes and Powell scoring an outstanding 37 combined points, Warriors proved to be their offensive equal in a game that could have gone either way.
Earlier in the evening, the 2008 Runners-up in the Premier Division, S. L. Horsford"s Ghetto Roots, were able to knock off one of their top competitors from last year, St. Pauls Hard Wine Tuff Knots.
Roots were coached by Dr. Garfield Alexander on the way to their 81-76 victory, who graduated to the Premier Division spot after coaching the Basseterre Senior High School Broncos to the finals of the Junior Division in 2008.
The revamped Roots were also assisted by former guard for the McKnight Trotters, Levi "By-By" Fyfield. Fyfield managed a massive 25 points, but was still outscored by teammate Carlos Monzac, who looked good with 33 of his own.
The SKABA season was officially opened by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Sports, Tourism and Culture, Lloyd Lazar, and was also attended by the President of the St. Kitts-Nevis National Olympic Committee, Alphonso Bridgewater.
In his address to the 32 league teams and gathered fans, SKABA President James "Barman" Hanley noted that the league is still in search of a sponsor to partner with, which would help to facilitate the local players being able to compete in overseas regional tournaments.
To date, the only division to receive sponsorship has been the Junior Division, which is being backed by attorney Lindsay Grant

Q: Are inertial dampeners a requirement for going to warp speed? Inertial dampeners are used on Star Trek to prevent starship occupants from experiencing inertial effects of the ship. Clearly, for a ship to accelerate at a very high rate via impulse drive, the inertial dampeners are required to prevent harming any of the crew (and also to keep everyone's quarters from looking like the aftermath of an earthquake).
What about entering warp? It's my understanding that warp speed is nothing more than a bubble of warped spacetime around the starship that it then moves through using impulse drive or some other conventional means of propulsion. To those inside the bubble, they are not moving superluminally. If this is the case, it doesn't seem to me that entering warp would cause the occupants to experience a sudden extreme acceleration, since from their perspective they are moving at the same velocity.
The whole reason I'm asking this question is that in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager one of the characters (I think it was Tom Paris) made a remark to the effect of "without inertial dampeners, we'd all be stains on the wall when we go to warp." (I'm sorry I don't have the exact episode - if anyone knows it please feel free to edit/comment) This statement seems to indicate that entering warp on a starship without dampeners would be fatal, and as an episode of a Trek TV series, this has to be canonical.
So if they are required, does that mean Zefram Cochrane had to invent intertial dampeners for his warp ship too? What about the Bajoran sail-ships that "accidentally" attained warp in DS9 - how did Sisko and Jake survive? Was Tom Paris just full of it? That doesn't speak too well for Voyager's crew if their helmsman doesn't even know how his ship's propulsion works.

A: They may be responsible for dumping gravity distortions caused by engaging this spacetime bubble, but I haven't seen this directly mentioned.
About Cochrane -- at least in theory, warp drive (nacelles not the core, which is only a power generator), inertial dumpers and cloak are different implementations of the same spacetime folding technology. Moreover, in the Trek universe it is seemingly easier to master than antimatter annihilation generator, what is in perfect contradiction to the current theoretical knowledge.

A: If it weren't a copyright issue, I'd just scan this guide and upload this somewhere.
This is from the Star Trek: The Next Generation Writer's Technical Manual Forth Season Edition, which was sent to me by Lolita Fatjo (Script Supervisor) when they were preparing me for pitching to them.  This is the guide sent to all writers to define what is "true" in the ST:TNG universe and what the rules are for the series itself.  It's not the series bible, but it's included with it and, essentially, has the same authority.
Page 12, under Environmental Systems: Artificial Gravity (and under that, Intertial Damping Field):

A second set of forcefield generators is used to create a field which absorbs the inertial stress created when the ship accelerates to high impulse or warp drive.  (Otherwise the high gee-forces would instantly crush our crew beyond recognition.)

But it's worth noting this is also included:

The inertial dampening field generators also create a "structural integrity field" which helps reinforce the structure of the ship.

There's also a note about how energy is contained by these fields so it can be re-used.
And on page 40, under Emergency Procedures, subheading Intertial Damping failure:

The Enterprise travels at such tremendous speeds (even when under impulse power) that the acceleration and deceleration involved would instantly turn our crew to chunky salsa unless protected by the Inertial Damping field.  Should this system (and its backups) fail, the ship would be limited to very gentle speed changes (compared to what it ordinarily does).  It would take many months for the ship to accelerate to Warp One, or to change warp factor...

So, yes, Inertial Damping (they use that, not Dampening) is required for warp speed.

A: It was always my understanding/interpretation that, while in a warp bubble, a ship would still need to use its impulse drive to actually move. If this is the case then anything required for use of impulse drive(s) like the IDFs and the SIFs would still be needed while traveling at warp speeds.
They may not be needed to enter warp but they are needed to achieve actual movement while in the warp bubble so… yes.

A: I read the books and its been many years but when Cochrane invented warp drive they had to accelerate slowly up to their desired warp speed when traveling. when research found the answer (being inertial dampeners) they were able to cut travel times between colony planets down because they could just jump to their desired warp speed without worry.
I also remember something about the inertial dampeners not being able to keep up with damage that was dealt to the ship in battles hence why the crew being are sometimes violently thrown from their seats and having trouble keeping their footing when standing.

A: It depends on precisely how warp works. The closest thing we have to a realistic theoretical model of it is an Alcubierre Drive. With an Alcubierre drive, you'd be pulled towards the forward axis of travel by the forward contraction of spacetime, and also pushed along the axis by the rear-ward expansion of spacetime. So the inertial forces are null, or more accurately, they are unrelated to the warp effect. You'd still need to travel at some non-warp speed to make any progress.
You might still need inertial dampeners to guard against imperfections in the geometry of the field, e.g., if the contraction and the expansion are not perfectly balanced, you'll experience a force.
So, I'll propose two in-universe solutions to the problem:

*

*Paris is referring to unavoidable imbalances in the field which are compensated for by the inertial dampeners, or

*Cochrane perfected something akin to an Alcubierre design, which had no need for dampeners, but later progress on warp engines negated this advantage.

A:
Clearly, for a ship to accelerate at a very high rate via impulse
  drive, the inertial dampeners are required to prevent harming any of
  the crew (and also to keep everyone's quarters from looking like the
  aftermath of an earthquake).

Hmmm. I seem to recall that one of the original notions of the impulse drive is that it was NOT a reaction-drive system (unlikely given the speeds involved), but instead acted on the craft and its contents as a whole. Hence, the inertial damper system ought not to be required at all for anything while the ship is operating under impulse. As someone else notes, the whole warp-bubble concept described in TNG and later should negate the need for inertial dampers here, too. The primary need for inertial dampers would be more tied to external forces acting on the ship or the warp field. My own spec on them is that they would be related to the artificial gravity system, and probably worked kind of like noise cancelling earphones. I'm not arguing with the other comments here which quote official canon sources, but I believe those are post-initial conceptual retcons.

Police arrest four men in Harpenden after car chase
Herts Police have arrested four men in Harpenden after a car chase through the town
Four men have this afternoon (Friday) been arrested on suspicion of burglary, after police chased a vehicle through Harpenden.
A spokeswoman for Herts Police has released a statement saying that officers went to a property on West Common Way in Harpenden at 12.50pm following reports of an alleged burglary.
She said: "A dark blue Audi was seen leaving the address which police pursued before it collided with a hedgerow on Station Road at the junction with Coldharbour Lane.
"Four men have been arrested on suspicion of burglary and are currently in police custody. As this is an on-going investigation, it would be inappropriate for us to comment any further at this time."
Residents have been commenting on social media, and contacted the Herts Advertiser after seeing a police chase in the town at about 1pm.
One person reported seeing several police cars pursuing a vehicle, which later had a collision.
And a local woman, who did not want to be named, said: "We heard a lot of sirens, and saw a car coming out of Coldharbour Lane being chased by about seven police cars. There was also a police helicopter."
There was no further information available from the Herts Police as of 5pm.

I'm a bit confused by the question. Are you trying to offer portions of the books for free, or the entire books? Amazon has never allowed authors to put the price at $0. However, if you don't want to enroll them in KDP Select, you can list them over at Smashwords or somewhere that does allow you to put the price at $0, then alert KDP Customer Service to the price difference. They will, eventually, price match.
Thanks for responding and sorry for the confusion.
I would like to offer the first sections of two novels at no cost. The rest of story, i.e. the complete novels, would be available at the regular price. Free 'pilot episodes', if you will.
Regarding free pricing, I do recall the option of $0.00 pricing at some point in the past. The strategy of listing for free/price match at B&N, Smashwords, etc is precarious, as the free books are excerpts from existing KDP material. According to several posts at the KDP Community Forum, Amazon takes a dim view of that practice.
Might be I scratch the idea altogether. Thanks for weighing in though.
I guess you could also expand the size of your sample, though I think the max on Amazon is 10%. Hmmm… Well, good luck!
Hey, good hearing from you. Hope you're well and surviving this weather.
Yeah, I'm leaning that way at this point. I'll ponder another day or two. Maybe I can offer them free here at HSSJ? In PDF, perhaps?
I'll let you know when USS is out.

Abstract. Total alkalinity (TA) regulates the oceanic storage capacity of atmospheric CO2. TA is produced along two general pathways, weathering reactions and anaerobic respiration of organic matter, e.g., by denitrification, the anaerobic reduction of nitrate (NO3-) to elemental nitrogen (N2). Anammox, is another anaerobic pathway, yields N2 as its terminal product via comproportionation of ammonium (NH4+) and nitrite (NO2-); this is, however, without release of alkalinity as a byproduct. In order to investigate these two nitrate / nitrite respiration pathways and their resulting impact on TA generation, we sampled the highly turbid estuary of the Ems River, discharging into the North Sea in June 2020. We sampled a transect from the Wadden Sea to the upper tidal estuary, five vertical profiles during ebb tide, and fluid mud for incubation experiments in the hyper-turbid tidal river. The data reveal a strong increase of TA and DIC in the tidal river, where stable nitrate isotopes indicate water column denitrification as the dominant pathway. In the fluid mud of the tidal river, the TA data imply only low denitrification rates, with the majority of the N2 being produced by anammox (> 90 %). The relative abundances of anammox and denitrification, respectively, thus exert a major control on the CO2 storage capacity of adjacent coastal waters.

This paper focuses on nitrogen cycling, specifically nitrogen loss mechanisms, within an estuary. By supplementing nitrogen measurements with carbon system measurements, the researchers estimated the amount of fixed nitrogen loss that occurred due to canonical denitrification versus annamox. High resolution sampling from a river endmember to the North Sea, incubations, and a process station provide detailed characterization of the study site. Unfortunately, I struggled with following several analyses in this paper, and I would appreciate the authors clarifying these sections, which in many cases involves presenting the data in a different fashion. I suggest major revisions, as specified below.
The primary conclusions of this paper hinge on comparing total alkalinity measurements and N2 production rates in fluid mud samples. I did not entirely understand the conditions for these incubations as well as the specific mathematics for concluding that annamox is the dominant metabolism. Here are some specific challenges
Line ~145: In the incubation set-up, the authors specify that fluid mud samples were taken from stations that were low in oxygen. Can you quantify its concentration? If the concentration is below the sensor detection limit, can you specify that and the limit you are using?
On this same idea, anaerobic respiration also increases total alkalinity. It is not clear to me how this paper differentiates the amount of alkalinity produced by aerobic respiration versus canonical denitrification. Perhaps the oxygen concentration is so low that the small amount of alkalinity produced it produces is neglible? Aerobic respiration does produce a small amount of alkalinity (see "An assessment of ocean margin anaerobic processes on oceanic alkalinity budget" by Hu and Cai (2011) for the precise mathematics)
The structure of Fig. 6 took me a long time to understand the information it contained. Perhaps a plot of DIC vs TA with two lines on it for each sample, and the caption saying that 43 hours elapsed? Another option could be two subplots of TA and DIC with time on the x-axis, as this could also be easier to parse. In addition, I think that it would be helpful to see the N2 data over time for these incubations. Since these values are also averaged, can you add error bars? To visually represent the calculations performed and the link between alkalinity and N2 production, perhaps another figure plotting TA vs N2 and then adding in vectors for the denitrification-derived N2 and annamox-derived N2 could improve clarity?
From the description of your methods (line 170), I anticipate that you calculated the amount of N2 that would be produced based on the measured TA, then compared that TA-calculated N2 against the measured N2 to determine the annamox N2. I would like some clarity that this is the method that was used, because some of the verb choice confused me.
Saying "…we combined the TA generation… with the average N2 production per station" suggests to me that these values were added. Would "compared" be a better verb than "combined"?
For the next sentence, I struggled with the use of "equalized". Based on my understanding, would something more like "converted to _____ equivalents" be more appropriate?
Section 3.2.2 discusses how the measurements at a specific location vary during an ebb tide. Currently, I find the information about this process study lacking, and it difficult for me to contextualize the results within the larger study. A few potential points to improve are specified below
Line 230 specifies that the chemistry of the water column changed due to the tide. Can you provide a subfigure that includes the tidal height during sampling?
I am concerned that some of the data provided here reflects conditions at other places in the watershed, which were advected into the sampling location. Would it be possible to plot the bathymetry near the sampling site? Also, on line 114, your calculation includes the distance and the change in time for sampling, but not the advection velocity. Can you report the water velocity during the sampling timeframe? I think that the RV Ludwig Prandtl should have an ADCP on it. Even an approximate value could help constrain transport in this region.
Other errata:
Would you mind adding a data analysis/software subsection to your methods? This is particularly relevant for figs 2c-d and 3b, because when there's uncertainty in both the x- and y-variables, a type 2 linear regression is required.
In figure 4, the default colormap is not perceptually uniform or accessible for many colorblind people. ODV has better options, such as any of the colormaps with just a single color or viridis. Can you change the colormaps here? See Crameri et al. (2020), "The misuse of colour in science communication" for more information.
In figure 5, would you mind changing the markers for each series of your data? It's a bit hard to see with just the color changes. A different line type could also help.
With regards to the carbon data in PANGAEA, please provide the DOI before the manuscript is finalized! I appreciate the authors' attempt at making this information accessible.
Line 50: I regret to inform you that this paper is probably one of the first, rather than the first, manuscripts to differentiate between canonical denitrification and anammox using carbon parameters. I believe that "Coincident Biogenic Nitrite and pH Maxima Arise in the Upper Anoxic Layer in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific" by Cinay and Dumit et al. (2022) (https://doi.org/10.1029/2022GB007470) uses these measurements for a similar purpose, even if their mathematics differ significantly. I would recommend slightly rephrasing this claim.

This is a review report for the manuscript, entitled: "Alkalinity and nitrate dynamics reveal dominance of anammox in a hyper-turbid estuary" by Norbisrath et al (Manuscript number: bg-2022-226). Overall, stable isotope analysis reveals that N2 production in tidal rivers and fluid slurries are contributed by denitrification and anammox processes, respectively, and discusses two nitrate/nitrite respiration pathways and their effects on TA production. However, the authors' focus seems to be on these two nitrate/nitrite respiration pathways, with only a small amount of text devoted to the contribution of nitrate/nitrite respiration pathways to TA. The experimental design idea is good, but it seems to be inconsistent with the focus of the article, and the authors are recommended to reorganize the story line. I do not think the manuscript can be published in its current form.

Total alkalinity (TA) is the oceanic capacity to store CO2. Estuaries can be a source for TA, by producing it by e.g., anaerobic metabolic pathways like denitrification (reduction of NO3- to N2), a major nitrogen (N) sink. Another important N sink is anammox, which transformes NH4+ with NO2- into N2. By combining TA and N2 production, we identified a TA source, denitrification occurring in the water column, and suggest anammox as the dominant N2 producer in the bottom layers of the Ems Estuary.

Q: Ubuntu 14.04 virtual server security updates - no reboot necessary? I have purchased a virtual server running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. My provider told me that I'm responsible for keeping the virtual server up to date. Precisely, I was told to run
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

from time to time to get all important security updates. So this is what I'm doing but I'm still wondering: will this really get me all important security fixes?
Being a Windows user, I'd expect the system to reboot after important system updates. When I run the line shown above, however, the system never reboots but just continues running so I'm wondering if the line above is really enough to get all important security updates or do I have to do anything else?
Maybe Ubuntu is capable of installing security updates without rebooting but from Windows (and Mac OS, and Android, and iOS) I'm used to reboots after important security updates and it makes me a little worried that Ubuntu never wants to reboot after running the line above.
So I'd be glad if somebody could just confirm (or not!) whether the line shown above is really enough to keep the system up to date, securitywise.

Why President Obama should take the lead on abolishing the death penalty
President Obama recently declared in a press conference with Angela Merkel that he thought that "we do have to, as a society, ask ourselves some difficult and profound questions around these issues", while reaffirming his belief the death penalty is an appropriate punishment for certain crimes". He added: "Racial bias. Uneven application of the death penalty. Situations in which there were individuals on death row who later on were discovered to have been innocent because of exculpatory evidence - all these I think do raise significant questions about how the death penalty is being applied,"
Whilst there will be always people to think that Clayton Lockett was "a rapist murderer, not a victim" of the botched execution, and that "he got off easy" compared to his victim, we should not forget that there are currently a significant number of prisoners on death row who might be facing execution, whilst possibly innocent.
A recent study found there may be as much as 4% of innocent prisoners currently on death row in the USA - a conservative number according to some. That is to say: Over 100 people who not only may die whilst being innocent, but also, over 100 people who could die in a botched execution, such as the one which happened to Clayton Lockett.
Who will support the execution of an innocent man - And who will support the botched execution of an innocent man?

Singapore warns public against crypto as world warms to Bitcoin
6 April 2021, 12:40 am ·2-min read
Singapore once again warned the public about the risks of trading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. (PHOTO: Getty Creative)
By Joanna Ossinger
(Bloomberg) — Singapore once again warned the public about the risks of trading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, a market that while relatively small in the city-state has surged in significance over the past year.
"Cryptocurrencies can be highly volatile, as their value is typically not related to any economic fundamentals," Tharman Shanmugaratnam, the chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, said in response to a parliamentary question on Monday. "They are hence highly risky as investment products, and certainly not suitable for retail investors."
He said that cryptocurrency funds are not authorised for sale to retail investors. The MAS also has powers to impose additional measures on digital token service providers, under which exchanges offering the trading of cryptocurrencies are regulated, as needed, according to Tharman, who is also senior minister and coordinating minister for social policies.
Tharman's comments come as the total market value of cryptocurrencies pushed past US$2 trillion for the first time, doubling in about two months amid surging institutional demand. Bitcoin has been on a tear as investors dabble in crypto as a way to boost returns on cash in a world of near-zero interest rates, with the likes of Tesla Inc. saying last month it will accept its use as payment for cars.
Cryptocurrency trading in Singapore remains small compared to shares and bonds, with the combined peak daily trading volumes of Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP accounting for 2% of the average daily trading volume of securities on the main stock exchange last year, Tharman said.
Money Laundering Risks
While the likes of Elon Musk, Mark Cuban and Paul Tudor Jones have endorsed cryptocurrencies, Tharman isn't the only regulator to express caution about an industry where fraud is still a concern. A European Union watchdog recently warned of "significant" investor risks after Bitcoin's gains, and Gary Gensler, the nominee to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission, said in his confirmation hearing that ensuring the crypto market is free of fraud is a challenge for the agency.
Meanwhile, authorities in Singapore have stepped up efforts to combat money-laundering and terrorism financing risks associated with cryptocurrencies, Tharman said.
Among the measures it has taken, the MAS has increased surveillance of the crypto sector to identify suspicious networks and higher-risk activities that may need further scrutiny, Tharman said. MAS is also continuing to raise awareness on risks of investing in digital assets to help people avoid being cheated or "inadvertently used as mules," he said.
"The crypto assets space is constantly evolving," Tharman said. "MAS has been closely monitoring developments and will continue to adapt its rules as needed to ensure that regulation remains effective and commensurate with the risks posed. Investors, on their part, should exercise extreme caution when trading cryptocurrencies."

Investors are waiting for details from the Fed's policy meeting next week on how it will proceed at a time that inflation is such a hot political issue it could force a more hawkish stance.

The Boulevardier is an alcoholic beverage that's made up of whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Campari. If this sounds familiar, it's because we've featured a similar drink before called the Negroni.
What's the difference between the two? The Boulevardier is essentially a Negroni with American whiskey.
While the switch to whiskey may seem trivial, its use leads to an entirely different cocktail. A Negroni has a lean and crisp flavor, while the Boulevardier provides a rich taste.
The cocktail was the creation of American writer Erskine Gwynne in Paris. Gwynne edited a monthly magazine (think of it as a Parisian New Yorker) called The Boulevardier, which appeared from 1927 to 1932.
So here's what you'll need to mix your own version of the beverage.
