The Big Match Preview: Sheffield United vs Manchester City (Premier League)
Predicted XI: Aston Villa vs Manchester City (Premier League)
January 11, 2020 January 11, 2020 Danny Lardner
Manchester City will look to build on three consecutive Premier League wins as they travel to Villa Park on Sunday afternoon. Aston Villa sit dangerously above the relegation zone in 17th place, with 21 points, while City are still chasing Leicester in second, and Liverpool, who sit 13 points clear at the top of the table.
Dean Smith's side have won two of their last three games in the Premier League, and are coming into this one off the back of an uplifting 1-1 draw with Leicester in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. Despite the return fixture at the Etihad Stadium finishing 3-0 to the Blues, Aston Villa's enthusiasm to escape from their precarious position at the lower end of the table will threaten Pep Guardiola's side.
Here are the 11 players the Catalan boss may pick to ensure his side maintain their good form following the turn of the year…

For Manchester City, every player has trained except for Leroy Sane, who will probably return to full first-team training in the next few weeks. Aymeric Laporte is nearer to a return, but Sunday's game comes too early for the defender to earn some minutes.
Aston Villa manager Dean Smith has labelled forward Jonathan Kodjia as a doubt due to illness. Matt Targett will likely return after a hamstring injury, while Danny Drinkwater, who completed a loan move to Villa on Tuesday, could make his debut. Striker Wesley is ruled out for the rest of the season, as is Tom Heaton. John Mcginn is also out until around March.

Predicted XI
Ederson looks sure to return in goal after Claudio Bravo's run of fixtures between the sticks. In front of the Brazilian, I think John Stones will partner Fernandinho in the centre of defence. Nicolás Otamendi looked uncomfortable in the second half against Manchester United in midweek, especially in the build-up to Marcus Rashford's goal. Benjamin Mendy will likely start on the left side of defence, after an impressive display at Old Trafford. On the opposite side, I think that João Cancelo will operate on the right-wing to try and test Aston Villa's defence going forward.
In the middle of the pitch, I predict Rodri to line up behind David Silva and Phil Foden. Foden only received five minutes or so of game time in the Carabao Cup semi-final, and has definitely impressed enough in the last few weeks to earn a starting spot this weekend. Kevin de Bruyne, I think, will start on the bench despite his great showing against Manchester United.
Raheem Sterling will probably start in Manchester City's front line once again, having featured in all but one Premier League game this season. On the opposite side, Bernardo Silva might be rewarded for his heroic performance on Tuesday with a starting role. Finally, I think we'll see Sergio Aguero leading the line. Neither he nor Gabriel Jesus was named in the starting eleven at Old Trafford, although the latter was introduced after 80 minutes to replace the injured De Bruyne.
Substitutes: Bravo, Zinchenko, Otamendi, Walker, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Jesus.

Playa Del Carmen Real Estate | 'Camino del Mayab' Multi-Use Trail Circuit Planned for Yucatan
Laura Nazimiec 14 October 2019 0
'Camino del Mayab' Multi-Use Trail Circuit Planned for Yucatan
The beautiful state of Yucatan will soon be home to an exciting new ecotourism project: the 'Camino del Mayab.' This new 100-kilometer (62-mile) hiking and biking trail circuit is being created by the ecotourism group, EcoGuerreros. It will be a vast regional network of multi-use trails that will link 13 localities with conservation areas, cenotes, archeological sites and haciendas in Yucatan, providing endless opportunities for recreation and ecotourism.
The trail network follows a series of roads linking areas of Yucatan that were previously used for the circulation of Henequen by truck, but have since been abandoned. Visitors will be able to enjoy historical attractions, Mayan culture and lots of nature, including natural protected areas, birds and wildlife. Plus, they can stay overnight at any of the destinations.
This new ecotourism project is being touted as an alternative to tourism megaprojects that are often detrimental to the environment. As reported in La Jornada Maya, visitors will require a "trail passport" that will grant people access to the trails and nearby attractions. At each point your passport will be stamped, which will offer additional benefits: for example, you can camp in some of the areas. The passport price will be around one thousand pesos (about $50 usd). Part of the proceeds will be used for conservation of the trail, natural areas and archeological sites.
The 'Camino del Mayab' trail network is expected to be completed in December 2020. The project is made possible by the Yucatan Peninsula Climate Fund, the United Nations Development Program, and more than 10 other institutions and organizations.

Volvo confirms pricing for new S60
Volvo S60 T8 R-Design
SO many choices. When it arrives in August, the shiny new Volvo S60 luxury sedan, and its wagon sibling, will hit the market with a choice of two power plants spread across three trim levels, improved safety, and new technologies.
Under the hood, buyers will be able to choose from the T5 187kW petrol engine that offers 350Nm of torque, or the T8 plugin hybrid twin engine, which delivers a thumping 311kW of power and 680Nm of torque.
The three trim levels offered in the S60 and V60 are the Momentum, Inscription, and the sporty and dynamic R-Design. The S60 is priced from $54,990 plus on-roads in T5 spec, or $85,990 for the T8 R-Design, again plus on-roads.
Its wagon counterpart, the V60 is priced from $56,990 plus on-roads for the T5 Momentum, through to $87,990 for the T8 R-Design. Volvo's Sensus infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is also available.
The S60 and the V60 are also underpinned by Volvo's new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) and include a range of ground-breaking technologies first introduced on its multi award winning XC90 and XC60 vehicles.
Safety and driver assistance features offered on the S60 and V60 include Volvo's semi-autonomous pilot assist system, the latest generation of its city safety system, and run-off road protection and mitigation.
Cross traffic alert with auto brake and a 360-degree camera that helps drivers manoeuvre their car into tight parking spaces are both also offered as standard across the range.
A new clean zone multi climate system also removes harmful pollutants and particles from
outside the cabin to deliver Scandinavian-fresh air on the inside.
"Sedan and wagon vehicles have always been popular with Australian car buyers, and with the addition of our S60 and V60 vehicles we intend to reinvigorate those body styles," Volvo Car Australia managing director Nick Connor said.
"We are confident that with their very distinctive look and competitive pricing the S60 and the V60 will make an immediate impact with buyers who are looking for something very different from the staid models in the luxury segment today."

Canadian teen admits false bomb threat to Ivy League school
The Canadian Press June 1, 2021
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A Canadian teenager accused of making a phony bomb threat to an Ivy League university in New Jersey last year has pleaded guilty to creating a false public alarm and was sentenced to two years of probation.
The 16-year-old boy entered his plea Friday, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office. It was made public on Tuesday.
The boy, who was 15 at the time, called the Princeton University Department of Public Safety on Sept. 19 and said he had placed improvised explosive devices in a least four locations, including the school's art museum, chapel, main library and Nassau Hall. The campus was largely empty at the time, as most classes were being taught remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The teen, whose name has not been released, was identified as a suspect in March after a multiagency investigation involving authorities in the United States and Canada. He was arrested without incident March 24 at his grandparents' house in South Vacherie, Louisiana, a rural community between Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
Authorities have not said why the boy made the false threat.

Preview | Chelsea vs Manchester United
→ FA Cup
Simon Carline
Cup or Bust?
Without being too pessimistic, the 2-0 home defeat to PSG in the Champions League should mean that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer places greater emphasis on Monday night's FA Cup tie with Chelsea. The midweek loss has surely all but ended the Reds' hopes of progressing, barring a miracle of performance in Paris without Paul Pogba. That leaves the FA Cup to be the only piece of winnable piece of silverware for the club this season – United have to go for it.
There will be an element of Manchester United wanting to exact some revenge on Chelsea after last season's final loss but, as ever with trips to Stamford Bridge, it won't be easy regardless of the London side's troubles of late. Maurizio Sarri team will clearly be looking to redeem themselves after their embarrassing 6-0 defeat against Manchester City last weekend, and what better way to do than beat a long-standing rival. Mini-crisis aside, the Blues will be up for it.
It could be argued that, despite suffering the first defeat of Solskjaer's reign, United will go to Stamford Bridge with more confidence than in recent years. The 2-2 draw earlier in the season showed that this team is capable of going there and making a game of it, and that defeat is not inevitable. In the end Jose Mourinho's team were disappointed not to take all three points because of Ross Barkley's late equaliser and there should be a feeling amongst the squad that they can go one better on Monday.
That task is made a bit harder due to the loss of both Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard to injury. The forward pair have been pivotal to United's attacking play, especially on the break in away games against the top sides. The pace that came out of the team at halftime against PSG cleared played a big role in United losing a foothold in the game, with Juan Mata and Alexis Sanchez unable to help the side get through the gears as quickly.
However, being without Lingard and Martial doesn't exactly leave Solskjaer without options in attack. There is a chance that we could see Tahith Chong given minutes to impress with the young Dutchman travelling to London with the squad but it seems unlikely that he will be in from the start. The real question should, and probably will be, which pair come in alongside Marcus Rashford and whether the young forward retains his spot down the middle or is pushed out wide.
On the evidence of Alexis Sanchez's substitute display on Tuesday night against PSG, it is hard to make a case for the Chilean to start on the left. The out-of-sorts forward was guilty of regularly giving the ball away and most of what he tried in attacking areas didn't come off. Conversely, there is an argument that game time will help him to find his rhythm but United can ill afford to be carrying passengers in game with so much on the line. For that reason, it could be that Rashford is partnered up front with Romelu Lukaku operating alongside him from the right.
By default, that could lead to Juan Mata taking the final attacking spot, potentially in the number ten role behind Rashford and Lukaku, or on the right if Solskjaer opts for a conventional front three. Using two strikers with false nine or number 10 behind them has been the plan of action against both of Arsenal and Tottenham in the away ties and could prove effective here. Lukaku would then be more likely to play on the last line of Chelsea's defence rather than coming to collect the ball from midfield. Obviously, Juan Mata isn't as mobile as Jesse Lingard would be in that role behind the strikers but he is adept at finding space and killer paces for the forwards. With the options available, this is possibly the best way to get the best out of the available options.
Elsewhere, there is unlikely to be many changes. David de Gea has gone down to London with the squad which would indicate that he will be starting over Sergio Romero. The Spaniard is usually left at home when Romero is due a start but it doesn't appear to be the case for this occasion. One position that could change again is at the centre of defence with Chris Smalling potentially being used alongside Victor Lindelof to make use of his experience against a top side at difficult place to play.
It's difficult to call which way this game will go, but the lack of replays from this point on in the competition makes possibility of penalties a very real one. If United can simply stay in the game, they'll fancy their chances of progressing and potentially reaching the final with Manchester City the only other big side remaining in the competition.
Confirmed Squad: De Gea, Romero, Grant; Dalot, Young, Smalling, Shaw, Lindelof, Bailly; Matic, Pereira, McTominay, Fred, Pogba, Herrera; Lukaku, Chong, Rashford, Sanchez, Mata
Score Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Manchester United

Davey Martinez thinks Bumgarner definitely deserves a no-hitter
/ by Kevin Brown
Nationals manager Davey Martinez became the latest to voice their support for Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Madison Bumgarner for being credited with a no-hitter for his complete, seven-innings game on Sunday.
"Congratulations to him, it was awesome and I absolutely think that he should be rewarded a no-hitter," Martinez told media on Tuesday.
Despite throwing a shutout in Arizona's 7-0 win against Atlanta, Bumgarner's stellar performance wasn't recognized as a no-hitter due to a 1991 rule that requires at least nine innings for a game, in which a pitcher doesn't give up any hits, to be declared a no-hitter.
This is the first time a pitcher threw a complete game since the MLB started speeding proceedings up in doubleheaders scheduled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic at the start of last season. Bumgarner was up to pitch after the Diamondbacks got seven innings out of Zac Gallen, who gave up just one hit in their 5-0 win over the Braves earlier in the day.
It's also the first time Bumgarner threw a game without giving up a hit in an accomplished career. It's a shame for an accomplished player like the three-time World Series champ that Bumgarner is that this game doesn't count on such a small technicality.
"He didn't make the rules. He got 21 outs, that was the game so I definitely think that he deserves a no-hitter," Martinez said.

Not content with just dominating the ride-sharing market, Uber wants to make inroads into virtually every form of transportation it seems. The company is aiming to establish itself as a freight hauler and technology partner for the trucking industry, reports Reuters. The plans comes on the back of Uber acquiring self-driving truck startup Otto earlier this year. Reuters says Uber has already begun pitching its freight services to shippers and that it will also act as a broker to connect truck fleets and shippers. The main goal of Uber, according to Reuters, is to transform the low-margin $700 billion-a-year trucking industry into a highly profitable operation that Uber controls.

on windows I use 7zip to unpack gz file and then
the problem is that restoring with

I get such errors:

of course the CRM aplication after trying to connect to new server throws errors because restoring was not well, thus we still stay on old installation.

The month of October is supposed to be about the gore of Halloween, but not to the Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility department at Arizona Western College.
On Oct. 17, the department held a walk, starting in front of the 3C building, to spread awareness on finding a cure for breast cancer and stepping up against domestic violence. Breast cancer is the most common cancer, affecting 1 in 8 women in the U.S. More than 2 million injuries and 1,300 deaths are caused by domestic violence.
Along the path that was laid out by pink and purple cones were signs that provided information on the two key issues. The signs provided not only facts but also encouragement. For example, the purple signs informed victims of domestic violence that they aren't alone in their fight. They even provide the signs to look out for when breast cancer starts to develop.
One participant, Samantha Rivas, a second-year college student took the time to do the walk. Samantha herself has never had any type of cancer, but her aunt does, and Samantha came to support her.
"Events like these do spread awareness because, if they don't know anyone with breast cancer, it still brings their attention to the issue and gives them an opportunity to contribute help to others who have been affected by it," Rivas said.
Event organizer Christine Rouff said she wanted to have the walk on campus because it's a good platform for reaching students, staff and community members about the issues. This is the first walk that Rouff has organized the event, and she felt it was a good start.
She said having the cones and statistic signs out on campus gets the topic out there. She likes letting students know that the resources and guidance of her department is available for them any time they need it.
The campus has done cancer walks in the past, but this was the first year it was combined with domestic violence for a single event.
In the hope of attracting as many students as possible, the walk was open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. so that participants could start whenever they wanted. In order to reach everyone, reminders went out on the radio, in newspapers and on social media.
"I don't regret doing the walk because students learned something, and there was a great turnout," Rouff said.
One reason Rouff is involved with this program and in the event is that her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 33, and luckily is doing well. This issue is important to her in being able to see from her sister's perspective and how scary and difficult that situation can be and how important it is to raise awareness of the sufferers' struggles.
Rouff also hopes to set up a support system for victims of domestic abuse, who might be afraid to tell their stories, that people are here for them.
Rouff's departments has events scheduled for every month from August to May on topics such as health and wellness as well as suicide awareness and prevention. Next year, for breast cancer and domestic violence month they plan to hold a fair with even more informational booths.
For information about any of the upcoming events, contact Christine Rouff at Christine.rouff@azwestern.edu or call (928) 317-6067.

Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments
Henry's Concise
Scofield's Notes
Mackintosh's Notes
Kelly Commentary
A.M. 2513. B.C. 1491.
At this chapter begins an account of the instructions God gave Moses for erecting and furnishing the tabernacle. Here are,
( 1,) Orders given for a collection to be made among the people, Exodus 25:1-9 .
(2,) Particular instructions, Exodus 25:1 , Concerning the ark of the covenant, Exodus 25:10-22 ; Exodus 2:0 , The table of show-bread, Exodus 25:23-40 , The golden candlestick, Exodus 25:31-40 .
Exodus 25:2. Speak unto the children of Israel Doubtless when Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and abode there so long, he saw and heard glorious things, but they were things which it was not lawful or possible to utter, and therefore in the records which he kept of the transactions there, he saith nothing to satisfy curiosity, but writes that only which he was to deliver to the people. And God, having now solemnly ratified his covenant with Israel to be their God, and that they should be his subjects and servants, gives orders next concerning a place for his solemn worship, where by visible symbols of his divine presence he might reside among them as their Deliverer, Protector, and the great object of their worship, and might keep his court as their King, that while they had that place in the midst of them they might never again ask, "Is the Lord among us or not?" And because in the wilderness they dwelt in tents, even this royal palace was to be a tabernacle too, a kind of portable temple suitable to their travelling condition, that it might move with them. Probably there never was any house or temple built for sacred uses before this tabernacle was erected by Moses. And the frame, fashion, utensils, ministers, and services of it were to be such as would be a model of that more magnificent temple, its furniture and service, which was to be afterward erected in the land of Canaan, even as that temple itself, with its whole economy, was to be but a figurative resemblance of a more complete and spiritual dispensation under the Messiah. For these holy places made with hands were the figures of the true, Hebrews 9:24. The gospel church is the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched, and not man, Hebrews 8:2. And the body of Christ, in and by which he made atonement, was the greater and more perfect tabernacle, Hebrews 9:11. The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us as in a tabernacle. That they bring me an offering This offering was to be given willingly, and with the heart. It was not prescribed to them what or how much they must give, but it was left to their generosity, that they might show their good-will to the house of God, and the offices thereof.
Exodus 25:4-5. Blue, and purple, and scarlet Materials of those colours. Shittim-wood A kind of wood growing in Egypt and the deserts of Arabia, very durable and precious.
Exodus 25:8. A sanctuary A place of solemn worship; that I may dwell among them. Not by my essence, which is every where; but by my grace and glorious operations.
Exodus 25:9. According to all that I show thee God showed him an exact plan of it in little, which he must conform to in all points. And God did not only show him the model, but gave him also particular directions how to frame the tabernacle, according to that model, in all the parts of it. When Moses was to describe the creation of the world, though it be such a stately and curious fabric, yet he gave a very short and general account of it; but when he comes to describe the tabernacle, he doth it with the greatest niceness and accuracy imaginable; for God's church and instituted religion are more precious to him than all the rest of the world. And all the Scriptures were written, not to describe to us the works of nature, (a general view of which is sufficient to lead us to a knowledge of the Creator,) but to acquaint us with the methods of grace, and those things which are purely matters of revelation.
Exodus 25:10-16. The ark was a chest or coffer, in which the two tables of the law, written by the finger of God, were to be placed. If the Jewish cubit was, as some learned men compute, three inches longer than our half yard, (twenty-one inches in all,) this chest or cabinet was about fifty-two inches long, thirty-one broad, and thirty-one deep; it was overlaid within and without with thin plates of gold; it had a crown or cornice of gold round it; rings and staves to carry it with; and in it he must put the testimony. The tables of the law are called the testimony, because God did in them testify his will; his giving them that law was in token of his favour to them, and their acceptance of it was in token of their subjection to him. This law was a testimony to them to direct them in their duty, and would be a testimony against them if they transgressed. The ark is called the ark of the testimony, (Exodus 30:6,) and the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, Numbers 10:11. The tables of the law were carefully preserved in the ark, to teach us to make much of the word of God, and to hide it in our inmost thoughts, as the ark was placed in the holy of holies. It intimates likewise the care which Divine Providence ever did, and ever will take to preserve the records of divine revelation in the church, so that even in the latter days there shall be seen in his temple the ark of his testament. See Revelation 11:19.
Verse 17
Exodus 25:17. The mercy-seat was the covering of the ark, made exactly to fit the dimensions of it. This propitiatory covering, as it might well be translated, was a type of Christ the great propitiation, whose satisfaction covers our transgressions, and comes between us and the curse we deserve.
Exodus 25:18-22. The cherubim ( cherubim is the plural of cherub, not cherubims) were fixed to the mercy-seat, and of a piece with it, and spread their wings over it. It is supposed these were designed to represent the holy angels, (who always attend the Shechinah, or divine majesty,) not by any effigies of an angel, but some emblem of the angelical nature, probably one or more of those four faces spoken of Ezekiel 1:10. Whatever the faces were, they looked one toward another, and both downward toward the ark, while their wings were stretched out so as to touch one another. This denotes their attendance upon the Redeemer, their readiness to do his will, their presence in the assemblies of saints, (Psalms 68:17; Psalms 1:0
Corinthians Exodus 11:10,) and their desire to look into the mysteries of the gospel, which they diligently contemplate, 1 Peter 1:12. God is said to dwell or sit between the cherubim, on the mercy-seat, Psalms 80:2; and from thence he here promiseth for the future to meet with Moses, and to commune with him. Thus he manifests himself willing to keep up communion with us, by the mediation of Christ.
Exodus 25:23. Thou shalt make a table of shittim-wood This table was to stand, not in the holy of holies (nothing was in that but the ark with its appurtenances) but in the outer part of the tabernacle, called the sanctuary, or holy place.
Exodus 25:30. Thou shalt set upon the table the show bread Hebrew, Bread of the face or presence, because it was set before the ark, where God was peculiarly present. We call it show bread, because it was showed, or exhibited before God upon the sacred table, as a national weekly oblation, in the name of all the twelve tribes, for the loaves were twelve in number, and being an offering to God were to be eaten only by the priests in the holy place, Leviticus 24:5-9. Every loaf must have been of considerable size, since two-tenth deals, or two homers of flour were used for each, which are about six quarts English. This bread, set in two rows, six loaves in a row, was designed to be a thankful acknowledgment of God's goodness to them in giving them their daily bread, a token of their communion with God, this bread on God's table being made of the same corn with the bread on their own tables. And it was a type of the spiritual provision which is made in the church, by the gospel of Christ, for all that are made priests to our God.
Exodus 25:31. This candlestick had many branches drawn from the main shaft, which had not only bowls to put the oil and the kindled wick in for necessity, but knops made in the form of a pomegranate and flowers for ornament. The tabernacle had no windows, all its light was candle-light, which denotes the comparative darkness of that dispensation, while, the Sun of righteousness was not as yet risen, nor had the Day-star from on high visited his church. Yet God left not himself without witness, nor them without instruction; the commandment was a lamp, and the law a light, and the prophets were branches from that lamp, which gave light in their several ages. The church is still dark, as the tabernacle was, in comparison with what it will be in heaven: but the word of God is the candlestick, a light shining in a dark place.

With the approach of the Carnival, women are beginning to think about clothes and makeup that will use in the days of revelry. Who will enjoy the Carnival at balls, blocks and even in avenues must get dressed according to the occasion. And when it comes to Carnival soon thought in colorful clothes and flashy, and makeup could not be different.
The makeup for the Carnival is different from the makeup that we use on a daily basis. Actually, in Carnival everything is permitted, i.e. you can abuse the colours, sparkles and techniques. However, the type of makeup should be chosen according to the place where you go to the Carnival. If you go to a ball, for example, is allowed to abuse the colors and brightness, but if you're in a party more familiar, the makeup must be more basic.
To help you choose the makeup for the Carnival, I selected several make of famous for you to use in various places like the Beach, party, prom, Avenue, anyway, anywhere you go celebrate this joyful and fun party. Check out the following various makeup ideas for Carnival.
For those not afraid to dare and go enjoy the days of revelry at parties, dances and blocks, how about inspire in bold makeup of Lady Gaga? The makeup of pop singer are not discreet, so perfectly match the Carnival. To copy this super colorful makeup, use a eyebrow green adhesive with glitter or any other color of your choice, and a shimmering blue lipstick on the mouth. To do this effect in the eye, make a graphic design with black pencil stroke below the eyes, and pass a lot of eyeliner and mascara on the lashes.
Those who prefer a more discreet retro style makeup, can inspire us makes of singer Katy Perry. The singer is always with makeup taken off, which retains a retro style, and that kind of make can also be used in the Carnival. One of the options is a makeup for the most neutral Carnival with a vibrant red lipstick. To make the eyes, just pass a clear shadow on the eyelids, make a mark with a black eyeliner, and put a fake eyelashes really long. To finish the look, pass several layers of mascara.
Another option for inspiration on the singer's makeup is to use a black eyeliner to make a trait well marked, and a little kitten style above this mark, make a fine trait with a blue eyeliner. To end this makeup for the Carnival, pass a clear pink lipstick, apply false eyelashes and pass several layers of mascara.
Already women who prefer a more sophisticated makeup and joyful at the same time, a good suggestion is to be inspired in the makeup of the actress and singer Katerina Graham. To copy this make, simply use a brown or Golden Shadow discreet on mobile eyelid and eyelashes well marked. To finish the eyes, just spend several layers of eyelashes and apply mask crystals and sequins in the outer corner of the eyes.

Az Államtanács (franciául:Conseil d'État) Franciaországban egy különleges állami szerv.

Története
1781-ben állították fel.

A francia forradalom idején első konzulként, 1799-ben Napóleon újjászervezte az Államtanácsot, amelynek tagjait az első konzul nevezte ki. A törvényalkotási eljárás során a konzulok által kezdeményezett törvények tervezetét az Államtanács készítette el, később pedig képviselte is a tervezeteket a Törvényhozó Testület előtt.

Ekkorra kifejlődött az Államtanácsnak az a fontos  funkciója is, amely az erősen centralizált francia közigazgatás bizonyos tevékenységeinek a felügyelete volt. Ugyanakkor megjelent az Alkotmánytanács bírói funkciója is, amelyből a 19. század folyamán fejlődött ki a közigazgatási bíráskodás.

The wet soil this summer has raised some concerns about soybean white mold. After soybean canopies, white mold fungus produces apothecia, tiny mushroomlike structures that produce spores to infect soybean. In recent extension activities such as Iowa State University (ISU) field days, producers wanted information on white mold risk this season and how to scout for apothecia. Some of the more common questions asked are presented below.

A 100-hour work week that might not be so bad? Experts weigh in on the pros and cons of working too hard.
Nobody can say Lena Podolsky isn't dedicated to her work. For the past year and a half, she has been running her husband's dental and holistic medical practice in Stamford, Connecticut, and New York City, and frequently labors late into the night and on weekends. All of which may not sound that unusual, except one thing: These duties add up to a hundred hours a week—or nearly three times what some people work in one week.
Some people might think of Podolsky as a quintessential workaholic, which is rarely seen as good. Indeed, ever since psychologist Wayne Oates popularized the term "workaholic" in 1971, the popular view of such people has been negative. Defined in the dictionary as "a compulsive worker" or "a person who compulsively works hard and long hours," it's been found to lead to everything from headaches and sleep disruption to family tensions, divorce, and early death.
But just as we used to think that margarine was much healthier than butter, research shows the reality of being a workaholic is ambiguous, at best. A study by the Academy of Management Discoveries of employees at an international consulting firm found no evidence that working long hours was always related to health problems. Overworked employees who didn't enjoy their duties exhibited signs of being at risk for serious health problems. But people who found their work to be engaging were doing just fine. The conclusion: While being a workaholic is sometimes bad, at other times it isn't.
Of course, it doesn't help that Americans top the charts for working a lot. About one in eight workers put in more than 55 hours of labor per week compared to 1% of French laborers, according to researchers at the Royal Holloway University of London and the Paris School of Economics. The increasing use of smartphones and other tech tools, of course, is also creating a murky boundary between work and life. According to an American Time Use Survey, in 2015 at least 24% of respondents said on workdays they did some tasks from home, up from 19% in 2003. "It's become harder to have a separation," says Stacey Perkins, a Dallas-based career coach with Korn Ferry.
Part of what makes working hard complicated is that it often can appear as if everyone is doing it. One of Robinson's current clients, for example, has been working at a tech start-up for the past two years. Despite poor sleep, a lack of exercise, and constantly feeling stressed out, she wants to try and hang on for another two years because everyone around her seems to be in the same predicament.
"You feel you have to get with the program or get out," Robinson says.

Q: Is it best to stick together or spread out in MW3 team deathmatch? This question regards to which method is more effective in winning matches, not necessarily gaining experience or proficiency. Usually, my first instinct tells me that I should always stay close to my teammates in multiplayer shooters. However given how easy it is to die, and how fast it is to respawn, is my instinct still correct?
I'm starting to feel like there's not much advantage to sticking together. And spreading apart at least makes you less vulnerable to explosive damage. Which course of action gives your team the best chance of winning?

A: Keeping a group together, but reasonably well spread out helps to protect you from an experienced enemy team. Keep in visual range in order to be able to provide covering fire, and use your role strengths.
If you are close together, you can lose 2 or 3 people before you can get to cover (the enemy can concentrate their fire and move rapidly from one target to the next) whereas if you keep a looser group you are harder to 'box', less susceptible to a well placed grenade taking out more than one, and force an enemy to have to spread out more.
This looser unit requires very good comms to work well.

A: Sticking together works well if you have a team that communicates well. You can form a nice rolling mob and clear out rooms, campers and snipers and overwhelm other groups. You can split up and flank opponents. It is also much easier to hold a position if you have a well co-ordinated team. If anyone dies you can quickly inform your team members where the kill shot came from.
Your point about explosives only really applies if you are riding each other, if you keep a reasonable distance explosives shouldn't bother you too much.

A: From a strategic standpoint, it makes sense to split up into smaller groups.  In the regular TDM, 3 groups of 2 makes sense.  As stated before, this allows you to not take damage as an entire unit and also allows for teams to cover angles across objectives with other groups of their team (imagine a cross with the objective at the center of the cross and the groups sight lines being the axes of the cross).

A: There is something to be said for having one roamer (using a stealthed class) separate from a main group, as the enemy will often concentrate on handling the mob and be vulnerable to a quiet flanker.
Of course, the person on their own is very vulnerable, and if this tactic isn't working it should be abandoned before you accumulate too many deaths.

Q: "Partition" of an object in a category? Is there a reasonable and useful way of defining a partition of an object in a category the way a partition of a set is defined? I have not found such a definition anywhere so far.
My first thought was to define a partition of an object $X$ as a collection of monomorphisms $A_i\to X$ such that $X$ is isomorphic the coproduct of the $A_i$ and the pullback of each of the diagrams $A_i\to X\leftarrow A_j$ $(i\ne j)$ is the initial object.
In the category of sets, a partition of a set is a particular case of this construction (I think...)
But  we also find this notion in other categories. I believe that in the category of vector spaces, a direct sum decomposition also gives a "partition" in this sense. Since I am obviously not the first person to ever think of this, could someone please provide a reference where this (or a similar) construction is explored?

A: Lawvere and Rosebrugh, in their book "Sets for Mathematics", define partitions simply as epimorphisms.  In the category of sets, epimorphisms coincide with surjections, and a surjection can be expressed as the partition of its fibers.  On the flip side, every partition gives a quotient projection which is surjective.

A: The first part seems to be related to the negation of the property of indecomposable objects in a category.
I guess that you included the second part wishing that it stood for the subobjects being "disjoint" in a sense, but in fact that condition does not capture the appropiate kind of disjointness e.g. for vector spaces. There you would have to ask that, for every $i$, the pullback of $A_i\to X\leftarrow \coprod_{j\neq i}A_j$ is the initial object.
This stronger version of your second condition is automatically fulfilled for coproducts in the categories of sets, topological spaces, differentiable manifolds and even in the categories of modules over a ring, but it is not in the case of rings, where e.g. the diagram $\mathbb Q\to\mathbb Q\leftarrow \mathbb Q$ is a coproduct sink, so I think the stronger second condition is closer to what you mean.
Unfortunately, besides the nlab link I gave at the beggining, I don't know about a place where people discuss this. Interesting question.

What Is Heel Pain (Plantar Fasciitis)?
Heel pain is a common condition that affects our feet. Many people will suffer for a long time, because they think the pain will go away.
Unfortunately, this pain often gets worse and sometimes becomes disabling. Simple activities such as taking a few steps after getting out of bed can be quite painful. Heel pain can be located on the bottom or back of the heel.
It is important to have heel pain properly diagnosed. Our foot and ankle surgeons are able to distinguish between all the possibilities and determine the underlying source of your heel pain. If you ignore your heel pain, the pain can magnify and potentially develop into a chronic condition.
There are many possible causes of heel pain. They are generally related to increased stress on the heel from over-use, improper shoes, injuries, or a combination of factors. The two most common causes of heel pain are plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. If you experience pain on the bottom of the heel and arch whenever you resume walking, especially first thing in the morning, you may be suffering from plantar fasciitis. People who have problems with their arches, either overly flat feet or high-arched feet, are more prone to developing plantar fasciitis.
Wearing nonsupportive footwear on hard, flat surfaces puts abnormal strain on the plantar fascia and can also lead to plantar fasciitis. It is often seen in runners or active individuals who are on their feet all day, but it can occur in almost anyone. If not properly treated, the plantar fascia will continue to be strained and the condition will worsen.
Tightening or burning pain of Achilles tendonitis is located at the part of the tendon that is slightly above the heel bone. Achilles tendonitis most commonly develops from overuse in running too much or from not properly warming up your calf muscles. Along with pain, there may be mild swelling and warmth over the Achilles tendon.
The podiatrists at Peoria Foot & Ankle Specialists will perform a thorough exam of your feet that may include an x-ray, determine the cause of your heel pain and discuss a specific treatment plan.
Wearing supportive shoes with custom orthotics helps reduces stress on the plantar fascia. Anti-inflammatory medications may initially be prescribed to decrease pain and inflammation of the structures around the heel. It is also important to minimize stress on the heel. If needed, a steroid injection may provide the quickest path to relief. In chronic cases, additional therapies such as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) may be required.

Nanoporous Graphene Could Outperform Best Commercial Water Desalination Techniques
(Phys.org) -- Although oceans and seas contain about 97% of Earth's water, currently only a fraction of a percent of the world's potable water supply comes from desalinated salt water. In order to increase our use of salt water, desalination techniques must become more energy-efficient and less expensive to be sustainable. In a new study, two materials scientists from MIT have shown in simulations that nanoporous graphene can filter salt from water at a rate that is 2-3 orders of magnitude faster than today's best commercial desalination technology, reverse osmosis (RO). The researchers predict that graphene's superior water permeability could lead to desalination techniques that require less energy and use smaller modules than RO technology, at a cost that will depend on future improvements in graphene fabrication methods.
The scientists, David Cohen-Tanugi and Jeffrey C. Grossman of MIT, have published their study on water desalination using single-layer nanoporous graphene in a recent issue of Nano Letters.

"This work shows that some of the drawbacks of current desalination techniques could be avoided by inventing more efficient and targeted membrane materials," Grossman told Phys.org. "In particular, tailored nanostructuring of membranes could allow for actual flow of water (with full salt rejection) via size exclusion, leading to much higher permeability compared to reverse osmosis."
This is not the first time that researchers have investigated the use of nanoporous materials for desalination. In contrast to RO, which uses high pressure to slowly push water molecules (but not salt ions) through a porous membrane, nanoporous materials work under lower pressures and provide well-defined channels that can filter salt water at a faster rate than RO membranes.
However, this is the first time that scientists have explored the potential role of nanoporous graphene as a filter for water desalination. Single-layer graphene, which is just one carbon atom thick, is the ultimate thin membrane, making it advantageous for water desalination since water flux across a membrane scales inversely with the membrane's thickness.
Using classical molecular dynamics simulations, Cohen-Tanugi and Grossman examined the water permeability of nanoporous graphene with different pore diameters (1.5 to 62 Å2) and pore chemistry. As previous experiments have demonstrated, nanopores can be introduced in graphene by a variety of methods, including helium ion beam drilling and chemical etching. In their simulations, the scientists strengthened the nanopores by passivating, or shielding, each carbon atom at the pore edge with either hydrogen atoms or hydroxyl groups.

"Because those carbon atoms at the pore edge would be quite reactive without passivation, in one way or another under realistic experimental conditions they will likely have some form of chemical functionalization," Grossman said. "This can be controlled to some extent, so we wanted to explore the two limits of hydrophobic vs. hydrophilic edge chemistries. If we had no functional groups (just bare carbon) then within a short time water molecules would dissociate at the pore edge and likely either hydrogenate or hydroxylate those carbons."
The scientists compared the two chemistries, along with different pore sizes, of nanoporous graphene in their simulations by running saltwater with a salinity of 72 g/L over the membranes, which is about twice the salinity of average seawater (about 35 g/L).
They found that, although the largest nanopores could filter water at the highest rate, large nanopores allowed some salt ions to pass through. The simulations identified an intermediate range of nanopore diameters where the nanopores were large enough to allow the passage of water molecules but small enough to restrict salt ions.
The simulations also showed that the hydroxylated graphene significantly enhances the water permeability, which the scientists attribute to the hydrophilic nature of the hydroxyl groups. Since, in contrast, the hydrogenated pores are hydrophobic, water molecules can flow through only when in a limited number of highly ordered configurations. But hydrophilic groups allow water molecules to have a greater number of hydrogen-bonding configurations inside the pores, and this lack of restrictions increases the water flux.
Overall, the results show that nanoporous graphene can theoretically outperform RO membranes in terms of water permeability, which is expressed in liters of output per square centimeter of membrane per day and per unit of applied pressure. Whereas high-flux RO has a water permeability of a few tenths, the simulations showed that nanoporous graphene's water permeability ranged from 39 to 66 for pore configurations that exhibited full salt rejection (23.1 Å2 hydrogenated pores and 16.3 Å2 hydroxylated pores). Graphene with the largest hydroxylated pores reached 129, but allowed some passage of salt ions.
The scientists explain that there are two main challenges facing the use of nanoporous graphene for desalination purposes. One is achieving a narrow pore size distribution, although rapid experimental progress in synthesizing highly ordered porous graphene suggests that this may soon be feasible. The other challenge is mechanical stability under applied pressure, which could be achieved using a thin-film support layer such as that used in RO materials.
"Computationally, we're looking at a range of other potentially new ways to engineer membranes for desalination and decontamination," Grossman said. "Experimentally, we are currently fabricating nanoporous membranes and hope to test their desalination performance in the coming months."

Looking for information on how to dry flowers? Drying flowers is a great way to preserve the look and feel of summer through the cooler months, or to keep a special bouquet a little while longer.
Dried flowers are a fun way to decorate your home, especially in the winter months when fresh flowers from the garden aren't available. It's really easy and inexpensive to dry flowers, and it doesn't require any special skills or equipment to air-dry flowers.
Dried flower arrangements, when made with the right kind of flowers, can last a long time. You can also make potpourri with dried flowers, which will smell much nicer than the stuff you can buy in stores.
Flowers will dry with different degrees of success. White and pale colored flowers often discolor during drying. Flowers that are stable and strong-looking in life will hold up well to drying.
Dried flowers add a touch of summer to your home.
In addition to the flowers themselves, you can also successfully dry leaves, grass and seed heads (left after the flowers have bloomed and gone to seed). Leaves from any tree or plant can be successfully dried, and many ornamental grasses such as fountain grass, plume grass and pampas grass can successfully be dried as well.
The most important lesson when learning how to dry flowers is how to pick the best flowers for drying. Sticking to the guidelines above will help you find and grow types flowers that are good for drying, but how do you know which individual blossoms will be most successful?
The main thing to keep in mind is that the look of a flower won't improve with drying. If a flower has been attacked by insects, is brown around the edges, or is just shaped strangely, you don't want to choose that one for drying.
The ideal flowers have not quite opened completely because they will continue to open as they dry. They will have a nice shape, no discoloration and no signs of disease or infestation. Even when following these guidelines, some flowers will look better dried than others. If you've got a plan that requires a certain amount of specific flowers, make sure you harvest more than you need so all of your flowers will look perfect.
The easiest way to dry flowers is to hang a bunch upside down in a dry, dark, somewhat warm location. A closet that people don't enter very often is an ideal place. Moisture is a problem when learning how to dry flowers because they can get moldy if left in a damp place for too long.
Flowers with fragile stems, like strawflower, should have their stems reinforced with a piece of floral wire before being hung upside down. Flowers hung this way usually take two or three weeks to dry completely. Try not to disturb them during this process.
Flowers dried by hanging usually come out with relatively straight stems. You can dry stems into curving shapes by soaking the stems in water until they are pliable and gently curving the stem to the desired shape. Weigh the stem down as it dries, or use a piece of curved cardboard to keep the shape in place.
You can also dry flowers with the help of desiccating pellets and your microwave. The pellets are usually made of silica and can be found at your local craft store in the floral section or at a floral supply store.
All you have to do is line a microwave-safe container with the pellets and heat for three minutes to ensure the pellets are dry. Then pour the pellets into a glass bowl so that they are about an inch deep. Place flowers with trimmed stems into the bowl so that they are standing up in the pellets. Pour the remaining pellets down over the flowers so that the blooms are completely covered. Heat the bowl for two to five minutes on high, depending on the size of the blooms. Larger blooms will need more heating time.
Allow to cool for 20 minutes, and then pour off the crystals. Use a paintbrush or cotton swab to clean the petals so they won't have any desiccant on them. Tape the flowers to florist wire to use in arrangements. The color will be a little darker than the original blooms, but they'll look great.

Drone delivery: accelerated by Covid-19...

Drone delivery: accelerated by Covid-19 but not yet taking off
The pandemic has unleashed a swarm of new technologies, especially within the logistics industry. While drones have benefited in particular, the fleet of flying takeaways face numerous headwinds, as Sebastian Shehadi reports.
The restaurant and food service industry has been devastated by Covid-19, but a silver lining has emerged.
"This year has seen a kind of renaissance for tech, driving investment and adoption years ahead of where we imagined it would be," says Brody Sweeney, founder of UK and Ireland-based Camile Thai Kitchen, a healthy fast food chain.
Early in 2020, Camile became the first in Europe to successfully complete aviation-grade drone trials, in partnership with Just Eat and drone delivery startup, Manna, who are also undertaking trials with Tesco this month.
The pandemic has boosted interest in many types of emerging tech, especially drones. Indeed, in a Covid-19 world where human contact is suspect and e-commerce is king, drone technology is an obvious winner.
Drones have proved themselves to be valuable middlemen for delicate deliveries that require careful handling and minimal intermediate interactions: hence the UK government approving their use for medical deliveries during the pandemic.
Meanwhile, over the last 10 months the US has seen Amazon, UPS and Wing receive Federal Aviation Administration approval, allowing them to expand their drone testing programs.
Camile's plans for widespread delivery await certification from the Irish Aviation Authority for Manna's drone technology. Although the process has been delayed by Covid-19, Sweeney expects the certificate to come through later this year, at which point the company will be cleared for take-off in both Ireland and the UK.
Are drones worth it?
Some of the world's largest logistics companies contend that widespread drone deployment will provide huge savings. Amazon Prime Air is striving for 30-minute deliveries, which they say will increase sales.
"[However], while the price of the technology is justified by the value of the service provided – with 80 per cent reduced cost claimed by DHL in China – scaling and generalising these systems can be tricky," contends Mohammed Shaqura, from the Real Robotics Lab based at the University of Leeds.
Larger scale aerial deliveries will kick off in less crowded cities, towns and uncluttered neighbourhoods, he adds. This pilot testing can then be used to scale up the model to more challenging cities.
In terms of mechanics, drones have come a long way. The tech barriers for operator-controlled drones are becoming fewer, with latency and communication failover being of primary importance, says Richard Yonck, founder of Intelligent Future Consulting, who adds that drone systems will not be fully autonomous for at least another decade or two.
Drone development has by no means been perfected. Compact multirotor drones suitable for precision delivery are power-hungry, and have limited payload capacity that directly affects the flight time per charge, says Dr Shaqura.
"Flying conditions like wind and rain can affect the stability of the flying robot and pose risks of degraded or potential hazards. Innovation is also needed for autonomous accessible charging systems. Wireless charging pads or hot-swappable batteries [might be the answer]," he adds.
The larger challenge, however, is that the legal landscape lags far behind drone technology. The key regulatory considerations surround public safety, both for people on the ground and for other equipment in flight.
Meanwhile, rules of play have yet to be formalised. For example, UK law currently prevents flying in public areas (which is most spaces), while drones swooping over private areas would be challenged in the courts very quickly, says Mischa Dohler, professor in wireless communications at King's College London.
Regulation is needed with regards to flying height and official certification bodies must be established, he adds. "I can imagine that larger drones that fly higher and longer could be certified; they would then fly above the typically regulated drone flying zones and only descend vertically when delivering onto private property where the order originated."
With this in mind, some invasion of privacy is inevitable. For one, drones are equipped with high resolution cameras in order to navigate.
"They will collect a lot of information as they fly over our homes and backyards. Our laws protect customers, so opt-out will be the default. That is, drones can't store any information unless we explicitly permit them to do so. Retailers will need to tread this path carefully," says says Milind Dawande, the Mike Redeker Distinguished Professor of Management at The University of Texas at Dallas.
Drones could offer some benefit to the community in return for some loss of privacy, he adds. For example, they could offer to transport life-savings medicines for free or cheaply, or to alert the police if they spot anything suspicious.
A battle for hearts and minds seems likely to unfold.
Richard Yonck is sanguine, contending that social barriers will be limited until a significant accident occurs. Then there will be a period of backlash, before new safeguards are implemented.
Indeed, the flying robots are likely to be well received at first. "[Based on Camile's trials], people loved having their food delivered by drone. There is massive novelty in this," says Sweeney.
Mischa Dohler, however, takes a more skeptical approach: "Socially, it will take a while (if ever) for us to accept volatile things flying over our kids heads, which we know could potentially crash any time."
There are also significant fears that drones, like many other forms of automation, will lead to mass unemployment. During a Covid-19 recession that is pushing many people into packaging or food delivery, this fear is even more pronounced. The flying delivery boys are likely to make very appealing targets for disgruntled delivery drivers made redundant by drones.
The counterargument is well known. "New forms of jobs will emerge. They always have, and always will," as Mischa Dohler puts it. "This doesn't mean that some sectors won't suffer. Automation will decrease mundane jobs (such as driving a car) and form more exciting ones (being creative, helping other human beings, etc). Think of it as: AI will automate jobs and humanise work."
For example, drones are likely to create new jobs for packers, drone maintenance personnel, drone monitoring people, etc, says Dawande. Furthermore these jobs are likely to be higher paying ones.
In sum, drones will promote 'cobot' work (on-the-job partnering of human and robot) with each partner performing the roles they are better suited for. Allowing robots to complete repetitive mechanical tasks increases efficiency and decreases operational injuries.
Governments and businesses will need to work closely to ensure that today's workers have the right training and resources to handle future jobs.
Education aside, one of the most major and critical challenges facing drone delivery is cyber security. Robots, by design, are networked machines where direct real-time remote access is needed to make sure things are kept under control, explains Dr Shaqura.
"Hacking into the system of a fleet of delivery drones could cause tremendous damage," he adds.
In sum, while some design risks still exist, drone technology is gearing up to spread its wings. All eyes, therefore, are on governments and consumers: how fast will regulation move and will drones be deemed friend or foe?

Mexico City, Mexico — A Chinese firm has expressed interest in modernizing the electricity grid throughout Mexico and is expected to enter into tenders next year.
Currently, the company PowerChina works with CFE on improving its hydroelectric plants. However, by 2018, PowerChina is expected to enter into tenders to modernize the electric transmission in the country.
In 2018, the launching of the first tenders for the modernization of the electricity transmission network in Mexico is expected and PowerChina, an infrastructure company that has capital from the Chinese government, wants to be in charge of developing these projects.
For this project, Cintia Angulo de Leseigneur has been name vice president. She is currently Country President and General Director of Alstom Mexicana, a position she has maintained since 2006 before arriving from France where she served as President of Electricity of France (EDF) from 1994 until her arrival in Mexico.
"PowerChina is the most important infrastructure company in China and one of the largest in the world. But they are also an investor and financier, which gives us a very competitive profile in the Mexican market where the investment schemes changed as a result of the reforms," she explained.
The first project of the Asian firm, Angulo said, is to participate in the tender of the high voltage direct current transmission system in Mexico that goes from Oaxaca to the center of the country, which has an investment of $2 billion USD.
"We will participate with a part of the capital, but we will also look for Asian or European partners to enhance the project we will present," explained Angulo.
Currently, the executive said PowerChina also works with the CFE to improve their hydroelectric plants where they have experience, as well as being in the private sector with the construction of industrial parks, another of the company's specialties.
