"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"
City Council and School Committee Holds Joint Convention to Prematurely End James Boone's Present Term on the Monty Tech School Committee Two Years Early
The City Council and the Gardner School Committee had a Joint Convention the other night, Tuesday, February 22, 2022.
They met together to vote for two new Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School's (Monty Tech's) School Committee Members from Gardner.
The City of Gardner has two seats on Monty Tech's School Committee. They were held by Matt Vance (former Gardner City Councillor) and James Boone (who is a present Gardner City Councillor).
Mr. Vance's 4-year term was up. He was running for re-election. But, the Joint Convention elected Eric Commodore instead of Vance this time around. In the prior election, it was the other way around – where Vance beat out Commodore in 2018.
What had the Citizens' scratching their heads was the fact that Mr. Boone's present term on the Monty Tech School Committee does not expire for another two years.
Mr. Boone was duly elected by this same Joint Convention on February 18, 2020. The approved Minutes of that Joint Convention state that Mr. Boone was unanimously elected for a 4-year term, set to expire on "February 18, 2024."
No one disputes this.
But, the information obtained by Gardner Government Watch is that government officials made the decision that because the Gardner City Clerk never gave Mr. Boone his oath of office for the Monty Tech school board seat, his election was not valid.
The real head-scratcher is that no one can point to any law that provides any support for this. Elections are not so easily eradicated without an act of congress, literally.
Yet, the City Council and the School Committee were all ready to meet and vote for someone else.
That someone else happens to be Eric Commodore's son, Alex Commodore.
The Commodores are family relatives of Mayor Michael Nicholson.
Gardner Government Watch obtained information that Mr. Boone had requested that the City Clerk, Titi Siriphan, simply swear him in. Mr. Boone states that he has always been willing to do so. There is no information from the City to contradict any part of this.
According to public records obtained by Gardner Government Watch, Mr. Boone requested from City Clerk Titi Siriphan information about how someone could make this legal ruling that his 4-year term was somehow terminated in year two.
City Clerk Siriphan responded, in writing (which is a public record): "I got (sic) notification from someone at Monty Tech . . . . Enjoy the long weekend."
The City Clerk then scheduled the Joint Session of the Gardner City Council and the Gardner School Committee.
The City Clerk does not have this authority under the City Charter and City Ordinances, so Gardner Government Watch has requested the name(s) of the city officials who gave her authority to do this. GGW has not yet obtained a response.
The City Clerk's legal position regarding Mr. Boone's election, which she wrote in a public record, is this:
"the timeline between the appointment and now is considered lapsed per vacancy laws. This is similar to what was done for the regular school committee in 2015."
There are no "vacancy laws" in this Commonwealth, or in Gardner. The Clerk does not explain what her legal opinion of "lapse" is. Mr. Boone has been an acting Monty Tech School Committee member since his election in 2020, and has made countless votes from that position.
Mr. Boone requested to take his oath of office, and Clerk Siriphan refused. Gardner Government Watch has requested information from Clerk Siriphan as to who told her she could not give Mr. Boone his oath of office. To date, we have not received any information from the city.
Under the Gardner Charter and ordinances, whenever the City Council elects anyone to any City position (in this case, it's one of the two City of Gardner seats on the Monty Tech School Committee) it is the Clerk's role to make sure the elected person is duly sworn in (takes his oath of office).
But, Mr. Boone's election in February of 2020 was at the beginning of the COVID-19 chaos. Mr. Boone's swearing-in inadvertently fell through the cracks in the middle of the turmoil of the virus and societal shut-down.
At that time, Governor Baker issued a series of States of Emergency which prohibited in-person contact. The Governor's said prohibitions expressly preserved and stayed (put off) all legal time periods during the Pandemic – including Mr. Boone's swearing-in.
City Clerk Siriphan's legal opinion, in which she uses this so-called "lapse" of time as grounds to refuse to swear-in Mr. Boone, clashes with Governor Baker's COVID-19 Emergency Orders. Clerk Siriphan is not a lawyer.
Gardner Government Watch has obtained information that the City Clerk made no attempt to remind Mr. Boone during this time frame that he had to take his oath of office – which, under Governor Baker's Emergency Orders could have been easily accomplished remotely (by Zoom) in minutes.
Two years later, it appears that someone has exploited this Pandemic/COVID-19 related oversight to exact a political advantage. Our sister editorial publication, GRAVITAS, has more to say about this.
Apart from Governor Baker's Emergency Orders, there is no set time period within which someone like Mr. Boone (or any City Councillor or any Mayor – according to the Gardner City Solicitor, John Flick) must take his oath of office.
The City Solicitor, John Flick, has used City Charter Section 23 for his reasoning in this regard.
According to John Flick, it is the election that matters. The election controls, not the taking of the oath, according to Flick. For example, according to John Flick, when Mayor Hawke was elected as Mayor in 2019, and quit before being sworn in, Flick ruled that the Mayor's seat could not be "vacant" until Hawke expressly "resigned." Flick's legal position was that Hawke never had to take the oath of office during the entire two-year term, and Hawke still would have been Mayor of Gardner. Flick ruled that that was because Hawke had been duly elected – and the oath didn't matter.
Mr. Boone, like Hawke, was duly elected. Mr. Boone, like Hawke, has not resigned. Mr. Boone is willing to take the oath of office. This certainly has the appearance that what was all right for Hawke, is not right for Boone.
John Flick has yet to respond to Gardner Government Watch on this subject – though Gardner Government Watch has a request out to him for a response.
The City Council had arranged this Joint Convention to eliminate Mr. Boone's current term of office – despite the fact that no one disputes that Mr. Boone's term has another two years left on it.
The matter was put off to a future date. A motion was made, amidst the furor over this (including by Gardner Government Watch), to get a letter from Monty Tech's legal counsel that Mr. Boone's 4-year term as School Committee member is legally "vacant" because the City Clerk never gave him his oath of office.

A search for star-planet interactions in the υ Andromedae system at X-ray and optical wavelengths
K. Poppenhaeger, L. F. Lenz, A. Reiners, J. H M M Schmitt, Evgenya Shkolnik
Context. Close-in, giant planets are expected to influence their host stars via tidal or magnetic interaction. But are these effects in X-rays strong enough in suitable targets known so far to be observed with today's instrumentation? Aims. The υ And system, an F8V star with a Hot Jupiter, was observed to undergo cyclic changes in chromospheric activity indicators with its innermost planet's period. We aim to investigate the stellar chromospheric and coronal activity over several months. Methods. We therefore monitored the star in X-rays as well as at optical wavelengths to test coronal and chromospheric activity indicators for planet-induced variability, making use of the Chandra X-ray Observatory as well as the echelle spectrographs FOCES and HRS at Calar Alto (Spain) and the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (Texas, US). Results. The stellar activity level is low, as seen both in X-rays as in Ca†‰ ii line fluxes; the chromospheric data show variability with the stellar rotation period. We do not find activity variations in X-rays or in the optical that can be traced back to the planet. Conclusions. Gaining observational evidence of star-planet interactions in X-rays remains challenging.

Signpost in Bainton
Bainton is a village and civil parish in the City of Peterborough unitary authority in Cambridgeshire, England. Bainton is on the southern edge of the Welland valley and lies 7.4 miles (11.9 km) north-west of Peterborough and 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Stamford. Ashton is a neighbouring hamlet and lies approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) south-east of Bainton within the same civil parish. At the time of the 2001 census the parish's population was 305 people and by the 2011 census the parish's population was 290 people.
Formerly known as Badingtun (Old English meaning "estate associated with a man called Bada"), some form of settlement existed in c.980 but was not mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.
At the south-east of the parish of Bainton and adjacent to the nearby village of Helpston is the site of Torpel Manor which is a series of medieval and later earthworks that are a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The medieval village cross called the Butter Cross is Grade I listed, as is the parish church which is dedicated to St Mary. The church of St Mary dates back to the early 13th century, with additions such as the tower and spire which are 14th century. The church includes a monument by Sir Richard Westmacott to Mary Henson who died in 1805. The bell tower contains four bells but these are not able to be rung currently.
Bainton House used to be the home of the Birkbeck family and is a Grade II listed manor house dating back to the 16th century
Bainton lies on the B1443.
To the north of Bainton, the Bainton Gate railway station briefly served the village between 1846 and its closure in 1856. The nearest railway station is at Stamford 4 miles (6.4 km) to the east.

Start-Up Plans to Build World's Longest Power Link from Morocco to UK
by Olivia Lai Africa Europe Sep 30th 20212 mins
UK start-up Xlinks is planning to build the world's longest power link that will stretch from Morocco to the UK as a way to deliver electricity generated from renewable sources to British homes.
A former head of Tesco, Dave Lewis, is one of the forces behind an ambitious £16 billion project to lay down the world's longest subsea electric cable covering a distance of 3,800km between north Africa and the UK. The power link aims to send renewable energy generated remotely to Great Britain.
Xlinks is proposing to have large-scale solar and wind farms be built in Morocco, with a 10.5 gigawatts power capacity, which will supply electricity exclusively to the UK. The energy project has the potential to power more than 7 million homes in Britain.
"We have secured with the Moroccan government an area of about 1,500 sq km," said Lewis to the Financial Times. "On that land we are going to put a solar farm, a wind farm and batteries which combined will produce about 10.5 gigawatts of power."
Additionally, the infrastructure will be working around the clock. Solar power will be generated during the day while wind will take over at night, with battery power to help bridge the gaps."This is renewable energy that behaves like baseload," Lewis said. "We have none of the intermittency."
Xlinks founder and Chief Executive Officer Simon Morris separately said in another interview that the remote energy generation will come from an area with completely different weather patterns as the UK, and could provide significant amounts of resiliency to the energy system.

There's been an uptick of undersea cables, also known as interconnectors, in the energy market as they allow electricity to be delivered and traded across different countries. The current longest interconnector in the world can be found stretched 720km across the North Sea, linking Norway and Northumberland in the UK. The power link can export surplus offshore wind as well as import electricity during low power generation periods.
The UK government has made plans to triple its interconnector capacity by 2030 as it works to achieve net-zero emission by 2050. While Lewis has said that the start-up is not looking for government subsidy, they're seeking to qualify for the contract-for-difference funding mechanism the government has for renewables and big infrastructure projects, which is only limited to power generated in Britain at the moment. The company is requesting £48 pounds a megawatt-hour for the power it would deliver to the UK to make the project "economically viable".
The start-up has at least two factories to manufacture the cables in the works, which according to the company will take less time to complete than waiting for an existing company to make, and hopes to start laying the cable by 2025.

You're beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Slip on this fun, plastic Blinking Lights Necklace to light up any outfit. Order several as delightful presents or party favors. Six colorful bulbs light up and blink. On/off switch. Uses 2 CR-1220 button cell batteries (included). 5-6 hours of continuous use. 30"l.
Just love the necklace. I bought two as gifts. One for a teacher and the other for grandchild. They love them. Perfect for Christmas. The blinking lights makes it extra special.
"The description says you get several different light up colors - but mine had only red ones light up. There are only 6 bulbs that light up. However, my 4 year old grand niece (and her 31 year old mom) loved it! They are pretty and festive. I'm ordering another to see if I get multi colors this time..."
I bought two back in Oct. for Christmas. I just started wearing and everyone that has saw it wants one! My daughter loves it also.


Working women in America are better at maintaining work/life balance than American men, according to a new Harris Interactive survey reported in Inc.com.
The survey, of 223 men and 272 women, found that 50% of mums split their time equally between work and their families compared to just 32% of men, with a majority of men saying they found it difficult to balance work and life as they would like.
The genders were divided over just whose fault that is: When asked if it is easier for dads to maintain work/life balance, 50% of women claim that it is, versus 29% of men.
One possible reason for the difference may be that men seem to focus more on financial performance than women: 59% of men said they could not afford take paternity leave if given the option, with 46% reporting the financial burden of taking time off would be too much even if they were able to earn a part-time salary.
Here are some statistics that defy stereotypes. Young people are supposed to take more risks, but recent figures show that older people are more likely to die as a result of workplace accidents.
A report prepared by the Australian Safety and Compensation Council shows that the death rate for those 65 years and over was 5.4 per 100,000 workers in 2005-06. For the youngest workers, those aged 15 to 24, the fatality rate was 0.8 per 100,000 workers.
The most prevalent causes of fatalities were falls from height (27 deaths), followed by being hit by a moving object (24 deaths), and vehicle accidents (21 deaths).
Australian retailers and landlords are overwhelmingly in favour of the idea of national uniform legislation covering retail leasing.
A survey conducted by Inside Retailing Online found 83% of respondents saying that they would be happy to see the various state-based laws replaced by one piece of legislation.
Only 6% favoured the current system, with 11% indicating they were undecided. There was also strong support for the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) to play a greater role in monitoring retail leases, as well as the idea of having a national retail lease database.

The last thing you want is to be one of those people you hear about who had their assets stolen, so let's talk about a way you can keep yours safe.
Arguably the safest method available to you is through the use of a hardware wallet.
Two of the more popular hardware wallets on the market are Trezor and Ledger.
These wallets offer the features and functionality you need to protect your digital coins.
I'm going to review these popular devices and give you all the details you need to make an informed and educated decision about which one makes the most sense for you.
Ledger and Trezor are two of the most popular hardware wallets in the cryptocurrency industry. There's a reason they rank at or near the top of the market. Both offer plenty of features and provide support for a variety of digital currencies. But before we get into all that, let's take a look at where and when these wallets got their start.
When talking about the history of hardware wallets, you'll inevitably have to begin with Trezor.
The device was first designed and developed by Satoshi Labs, which is a Bitcoin-based organization that resides in the Czech Republic.
Founded in 2013, Trezor initially began its work focusing on security and safety for cryptocurrencies.
Trezor's first device launched in 2014, making it the first hardware wallet for Bitcoin.
The wallet's name, Trezor, means 'vault' or 'safe' in many Slavic languages, including Czech.
Since then, Trezor has experienced significant growth, expanding into more than 100 countries less than a year after its initial hardware wallet launch.
Marek Palatinus, the company's CEO, got his start in the crypto world with Slush Pool.
If you're familiar with Bitcoin, you know this is one of the oldest mining pools in the coin's history. Thanks to Marek's expertise and a strong development team, Trezor has continued to grow, becoming more popular with everyday crypto owners.
In 2016, the company saw its value grow even more as the demand for Trezor wallets surged.
A few years later, Trezor released an updated version of its hardware wallet, the Trezor Model T. While this device has yet to realize the potential of its predecessor, it's an excellent option for storing your BTC.
When it comes to crypto hardware wallets, Trezor is among the best there is. It's easy to set up, secure, and affordable. Trezor hardware wallets allow you to send and receive all your favorite cryptocurrencies while providing the privacy and security you need to keep your digital coins safe.
Trezor is one of the highest-rated hardware wallets on the market, so be sure to visit their website and order your favorite one.

Headquartered in Paris, France, Ledger launched in 2014. The company was founded by blockchain security experts who enjoy collaborating on their hardware wallets.
Currently, there are two device options, which I'll cover more extensively later. For now, just know that you can choose between the Ledger Nano S and the Nano X.
Like Trezor, as the market continues to grow and expand, so does the demand for Ledger wallets.
With offices in the United States and France, the company is now a global player in the cryptocurrency wallet industry.
As a result, Ledger sold almost a million units in 2017 alone. These numbers are a stark reminder that the company is making significant strides as Ledger sold only 30,000 devices in 2016.
Additionally, recent interest in the cryptocurrency world has served to continue Ledger's upward trend.
Investors continue to show support for the company, which is evidenced by the $75 million Ledger raised during its Series B financing round just a few years ago.
If you don't want to mess around with software wallets, you should check out the Ledger Nano S. This affordable hardware wallet is a great way to keep your coins safe and secure. With support for nearly every coin on the market, it's tough to go wrong with the Nano S.

Remember that cryptocurrencies aren't stored on the wallet itself.
These permanently reside on the blockchain. Your wallet is used to store your private keys.
It's your private keys that are used to open up the lock on your blockchain address, which is where your digital currencies are actually located. With your hardware wallet, you can interact with all your coins.
Hardware wallets have two purposes. First, they keep your private keys safe.
These wallets are considered cold storage, which is a way of saying they are offline, isolated from the internet. This helps to mitigate the risks associated with online hacks and attacks.
Second, they provide a way to confirm transactions that occur on the blockchain.
When you initiate a transaction, you're signing it using your private key, which shows ownership of your tokens. Since your private key is your own, there's no way for someone else to sign off on a transaction without it.
Transactions are easy to perform. Just plug your physical wallet into any device that has internet connectivity.
Type in your PIN, initiate the transfer, then confirm that you're sending your funds to the appropriate address. This makes it possible for you to send your digital assets while storing your coins offline.
You use your wallet to protect your private keys, which are secured through a passphrase and a PIN code.
If someone should happen to steal your device, it will be almost impossible for that person to gain access to your keys.
Your private keys aren't exposed to an internet connection, which means hackers don't have access to them.
That's why hardware wallets are referred to as cold storage devices.
If you happen to lose your crypto wallet, you can use your single seed phrase to recover your assets.
This phrase, also known as a recovery phrase, is a list of words you use to recreate your private keys.
With your recovery seed phrase, you can recover your private keys on a different wallet.
Not all physical devices are the same, but for the most part, using them will be a similar process.
Start by plugging the device into your computer and unlocking it using your PIN. Initiate a transaction, then confirm the information on the device dashboard.
That's it! You can move your assets with the peace of mind that your private keys are safe and secure.
With Trezor wallets, your passwords are entered through a connected device, like a laptop or PC, which means it's open for hackers to access it.
On the other hand, Ledger wallets have the password linked to your PIN, which you type in using the keys.
Trezor also offers its Chrome extension, called Trezor Password Manager, or TPM. With this extension, you can sign in to your wallet using Dropbox or Google Drive.
Or, you can connect to your wallet by entering your PIN and then turning on the Password Manager on your device.
These physical wallets aren't perfect, which means they each have their advantages and disadvantages. Here's a quick look at the pros and cons of Trezor and Ledger wallets.
Top of the line security features
Regular firmware updates
Wireless and Bluetooth functionality
Support for a wide range of digital coins and ERC-20 tokens
Works with multiple operating systems
Easy backup and recovery process
Costs more than other hardware devices on the market
Has experienced data breach in the past
Not as durable as other physical wallets
Sleek stainless steel design
Supports many cryptocurrencies and ERC-20 tokens
Compatible with multiple operating systems
Beginner-friendly devices
Secure and protects digital assets
Small buttons make navigation tedious
Non open-sourced software
Both of these wallets offer display screens, which you can use to view your recovery phrase or send your digital assets to other wallets.
Between the two, Trezor has a larger display, which makes using the device a little easier and more convenient. Additionally, the Trezor Model T has an easy-to-use color touchscreen, which makes it a bit more appealing.
Trezor hardware wallets consist of hard plastic, whereas Ledger hardware wallets have stainless steel bodies.
If you want a device that offers a stylish and sophisticated look, go with the Ledger. Plus, its stainless steel exterior makes it more durable than its counterpart.
Of the two, Trezors are more often bigger than Ledger devices. If you want to carry your device in your wallet or your pocket, Ledger might be the way to go since it's smaller.
The size of the devices doesn't have an impact on the way they perform, but a more portable option may come in handy.
Both wallets have two buttons that allow users that manage their digital currencies through the device software.
However, one thing to note is that Trezor's buttons have a decent amount of space between them.
Ledger's are spaced closer together, which makes it easy to press both buttons at the same time by mistake.
Ledger OS
Ledger wallets use their own proprietary operating system called BOLOS. That means that you can't see what goes is installed on the device or the firmware that runs it.
But, Ledger publishes its specifications so that anyone interested can view them. Plus, all cryptographic operations use determinism, so the device has all the necessary information.
On the other hand, Trezor wallets use open-source software and firmware. That means users have access to all the ins and outs of the device and its goings-on.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to using open-source software. For example, but can be quickly and easily identified, but the software comes with additional security risks.
One of the most important factors in deciding which device to select is cryptocurrency support.
However, bear in mind that you can always use both wallets if you need to if that's what you need.
If Trezor is your wallet of choice, you can use it to hold a wide variety of digital assets.
The platform is adding support for more currencies on a regular basis. You can find the entire list of cryptocurrencies and ERC-20 tokens here.
However, keep in mind that there are certain digital coins that the platform does not support due to hardware limitations.
Here are just a few of the cryptocurrencies Trezor supports:
Like Trezor, Ledger offers support for Bitcoin and a range of other altcoins, including ERC-20 tokens.
Here's a shortlist of digital coins that the wallet supports, but you can find the complete list on the company's website.
Bitcoin (BCH)
Something interesting to note about these two devices is that they were each pioneer in their industry.
Trezor was the first wallet to offer a physical storage option for Bitcoin, while Ledger was the first to provide physical support for Ethereum.
Both companies regularly update their software to add support for new coins and additional features and functionality.
Selecting one of these devices for the cryptocurrencies it supports is a bit of a challenge. That's why many people simply choose to purchase both devices.
Trezor works with desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets, so no matter what you're using, you'll have access to your cryptocurrencies.
The device supports Linux, Windows, macOS and is compatible with any Android or iOS device.
Users can also install a Google Chrome extension, which provides a way to manage your wallet and the data you have on it.
Ledger devices support Linux, macOS, Windows, and even Google's Chrome operating system.
Keep in mind that you have to use Google Chrome or Chromium for the extension to work correctly.
It probably goes without saying that one of the main reasons you are considering a hardware wallet is for the additional security it offers.
Of course, security is a top factor you should think about when you compare these two top-of-the-line devices.
Other than the essential design of a hardware wallet to protect your private keys, there are other security features to think about when comparing these two top-of-the-line devices.
Keep in mind that both Ledger and Trezor are very secure, but remember that Ledger is not entirely open-source.
As a result, you're not able to see what firmware is on the device or the code that makes up its software.
That means if Ledger wanted to inject malicious code into its firmware, they could.
This could be something as simple as transferring all your crypto to an address the company controls.
While this isn't a likely scenario, it's something to bear in mind if you're choosing between the two wallets.
Trezor is completely open-source, which means anyone can look at the code and make changes. This is a double-edged sword as it allows developers to find and eliminate bugs quickly but makes its wallets a little more susceptible to potential hackers or other nefarious parties.
Your Ledger physical wallet works with apps like Ledger Live, Copay, Electron Cash, MyEtherWallet, Electrum, Magnum, Binance, MyCrypto, GreenBits, and many others.
Similarly, Trezor is compatible with MyTrezor, Copay, GreenBits, Mycelium, MyEtherWallet, MultiBitHD, Electrum, and GreenBits.
Both of these wallets work with a variety of other apps and wallets. I'm sure you noticed that the two devices have a lot of these apps in common.
When it comes time to choose, compatibility with the right app could make the difference.
Trezor and Ledger both have two models in their lineups. Let's take a closer look at what these devices have to offer and how they compare with one another.
Ledger offers its Nano S and Nano X models.
Nano S
The Ledger Nano S was the first device in Ledger's lineup and launched in 2014.
Its exterior consists of stainless steel and comes with high-quality microcontroller chips.
This wallet is a little smaller and lighter than its counterpart, the Nano X. The screen size is on the smaller side, checking in at 128 x 32 pixels.
Additionally, there are two buttons on the side of the unit to control and manage your assets.
Only wired transactions are supported by the Ledger Nano S, which means the device doesn't have its own battery.
However, Ledger does include a micro USB cable with the wallet. The device isn't designed for performing mobile transactions.
You're much better off using a laptop or PC to perform transactions.
Unfortunately, the device does not offer a lot of storage space, which means it won't hold more than 10 apps at a time.
If you want to use more than that, you'll have to remove one and replace it with the other. However, the Ledger Nano S is still reasonably priced, which makes it one of the more popular physical wallets on the market.
Nano X
The successor to the Nano S is the Nano X.
Like the S, the Ledger Nano X is made of stainless steel, which top-of-the-line microcontrollers.
However, the Nano X also comes with wireless chips and built-in Bluetooth functionality.
The Nano X is heavier than its counterpart, but it also offers a larger screen.
Measuring at 128 x 64, the display on the Ledger Nano X provides more real estate for showing important information.
There are two buttons on the device, one on each side, which makes it convenient and easy to use, and more durable.
A USB type C cable comes with the Nano X, which you can use to charge its 100 mAh battery.
Additionally, the device offers much more stores than the Nano S, as it can handle more than 100 different apps with ease.
If you prefer wireless and Bluetooth support, along with the ability to access your cryptocurrencies anytime you want, the Ledger Nano X is a popular option.
Ledger produces some of the best hardware wallets in the business, which is why you should give the Nano X serious consideration. This sleek device, with an intuitive user interface, and multi currency support is an excellent option for managing all your digital assets.
For all the security afforded with a hardware wallet, head on over to the Ledger website and order your Nano X today!

Trezor's hardware wallets come in two models: The Trezor One and the Trezor Model T.
Trezor One
The first-ever hardware wallet designed and launched by SatoshiLabs was the Trezor One.
This popular physical wallet has two buttons, along with a 128 x 64-pixel display. At first glance, the device looks a lot like a keychain.
It doesn't hurt that the Trezor One is compact and lightweight, which makes it portable.
While the device isn't stainless steel like Ledger's physical wallets, it is made of ABS plastic, which is robust and impact-resistant.
The casing protects the device against minor physical damage. With an ARM processor that clocks in at 120 MHz, you're sure to have a smooth and enjoyable experience anytime you need to access your digital currencies.
This Trezor wallet offers a variety of features, like its Password Manager, which lets you store and manage your login information for multiple apps.
There's also a U2F authentication feature, which provides easy login access to social media platforms like Google, Twitter, Facebook, and others.
Trezor One is an excellent physical wallet if you're on a budget but want to protect your digital assets.
Trezor's second-gen wallet, the Model T, is a newer, more secure, and updated version of the Trezor One. With a faster processor and upgraded casing, the Model T is an excellent physical wallet for advanced crypto user.
You'll get a 240 x 240-pixel touchscreen color display that supports a multitude of digital currencies.
The only way to enter your PIN code or your recovery phrase is through the screen, which makes it less likely that someone will gain access to your digital coins and tokens.
It doesn't hurt that the screen is bigger than most other physical wallets on the market, which makes it much easier to use.
You'll quickly discover that the Trezor Model T is designed with mobility and portability in mind.
It comes with mobile and Bluetooth connectivity, a slot for an SD card, and is compatible with most operating systems.
Plus, the wallet offers its own web interface, which is perfect for transferring your favorite ERC-20 tokens.
One last factor to think about when considering the Ledger Nano devices and the Trezor wallets is their price.
For the first-generation devices, the Nano S and the Trezor One, you're going to pay $59 for both. However, the more premium wallets, the Nano X and the Model T will run you $119 and $181 respectively.
Considering the Ledger Nano X offers Bluetooth and wireless functionality features, it's tough to justify spending more on the Trezor Model T.
That doesn't mean the device isn't worth it. You'll get plenty of features with the Trezor devices. It's up to you to decide whether or not these features are worth the extra money.


5.6" x 5.6" x 3.5"
So many quads, so little airspace. Among stunt-quads there are many common attributes such as the 6-axis gyro, self-leveling systems, one-button flips and rolls, and decent price tags. There are some out there like the hefty Wltoys V383 that can fly inverted, hover upside down, and flip in place with amazing control. On the other end, diminutive little scrappers like the Blade Nano QX 3D can do much more than their bigger, more pricey brethren are able to.
Little brother to the 350 QX, the 200 QX was clearly cut from the same design mold. Its landing gear is removable for reduced weight, with landing pads on the bottom of the motors for soft touch-down. It has uni-body plastic construction which proves fairly unforgiving in crashes -- the rotor outriggers being prone to crash-and-snap, which in turn requires a full body job for reparation. The plastic seems a trifle fragile for a relatively pricey stunt-quad, though there are aftermarket options for replacement parts for the committed Blade flier.
200 QX's LEDs are encased within the semi-transparent fuselage. Curiously red LEDs denote the front while green are on the back. This can be adapted by the ambitious to conform with normal programming. As the LEDs are enclosed, they are difficult to discern in direct sunlight, making lower light flight optimal. With camera optional, the 200 QX BNF functions as a camera platform for the E-flite EFC-721 and will support the Mobius Mini-cam as well.
3 flight modes: Stability Mode offsets the throttle to prevent inadvertent ground impaction by reducing banking angles; 3D Stagility, which features greater banking capacity and self-levels the quad when the sticks are released; and 3D Agility for experienced operators, offering full 3D flight and stunt capability including rolls. This is one that didn't see the need for on and off switches, an always dubious choice for a device with high-speed spinning blades.
Very satisfied with this product! Strongly recommend for any level of experience. The safe technology is wonderful.
Been flying for about a year and is by far the most enjoyable RC that I have flown. Lots of fun!
This quad is simply awesome ... Heaps of power. If you have any heli experience you will love this thing. You can't wipe the smile from my face every time I fly it.
I have to say, I am excited at this point. Everything seemed great. But then I tried the throttle. Nothing! Bummer! What a disappointment! I would never give this as a gift.

The practice is situated in a row of terraced houses that were built on the Aylsham Road in Norwich in 1899.
1930 Lloyd Edward Kent bought 150 Aylsham Road and the first dental practice was launched.
1936 Lloyd Kent died and the building was taken over briefly by another dentist by the name of Outan.
1954 Alex Davies bought 148 Aylsham Road and amalgamated the two buildings into an enlarged practice in 1955.
1973 Alex Davies retired and sold the practice to Barrie Lawrence who over time extended the practice at the back, added additional surgeries and an oral hygiene education room and ran it with four dentists and a hygienist until 1988.
1988 Barrie Lawrence sold the practice to Jim Peirson and carried on as an associate for two years until moving over to his second practice in Aylsham fulltime. For about fifteen years Jim Peirson ran the practice mostly as the only dentist with a hygienist and nurse team.
2011 146-152 amalgamated into one large premises with improved facilities, including a larger entrance and access ramp, a shallower staircase, disabled toilet, separate sterilisation room, separate staff facilities and additional surgeries.
Around the practice there are two aerial photographs of Norwich taken in the late 1970's that used to be on surgery ceilings and an old black and white photograph of the row of terraces as they looked in the early 1900's, courtesy of one of our longstanding patients.


West's Stance on Syrian Chemical Weapons: Prelude to Military Intervention?
News Analysis: Talks of Syrian chemical weapons: prelude for intervention or further pressure on Damascus?
"The real concern is that the U.S. may have other plans; to provide the terrorist groups with such weaponries.. .to justify any foreign intervention in Syria's internal affairs," Syria's Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mikdad told local media on Thursday.
DAMASCUS: The U.S. administration and its Western allies have renewed talks of Syria's alleged chemical arsenal over the past week, sending stern warnings to Damascus against using it.
Such moves have raised questions: is this added pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, or a prelude for a foreign intervention?
He stressed that any foreign military aggression on Syria will be costly and lead to catastrophic consequences in the region.
However, Syrian analysts and experts argued that the United States and its Western allies' talk and warnings only aimed to apply more pressure on Damascus.
He concluded that the Western countries will use all pressure cards to squeeze the Syrian administration.
Other observers believe that the United States wants to stir up the chemical weapons case because it acknowledges the presence of radical fighters of al-Qaida in Syria and that in the case of further deterioration in the country, those weapons might fall into the hands of those fighters which will cause great danger to Israel.
In response, media reports revealed Wednesday Russia's intention to provide the Syrian administration with Iskander missiles in the face of the U.S. Patriots.
Recent developments highlighted the world powers' division on the Syrian issue. Observers here also said the end of the Syrian crisis depends largely on an understanding between the United States and Russia.


Since 2011 The Linux Foundation has been awarding scholarships to those in need. The Linux Foundation training (LiFT) scholarships provide Linux training to developers and IT professionals who show interest and promise in becoming more active in and knowledgeable about Linux and open source development but cannot otherwise afford to the training they need to further their career or improve their skills. Each scholarship recipient receives the free training and their testing fees for certification if applicable are waived.
In 2016, The Linux Foundation received more than 1,000 applications for 14 LiFT scholarships. The most popular category once again was SysAdmin Super Star, followed by Linux Newbies and Academic Aces. Applications were received from six continents with applicants ranging in age from 13 to 66, demonstrating the demand for quality open source education spans geographies and demographics.

My call center ka paseena type dost wasted no time in tapping the keys as he called me on gtalk right away, a minute into our conversation he let out a big "yipppeeeeee" sandwiched between two *Beeps*. I dint need to ask the reason, the mail for which we were waiting for had seduced our inboxes. We were asked to report on 22nd June at the sarjapur office in Bangalore. I have heard enough about the traffic of Bangalore where people use the traffic jams as their parking solution, leave your car there in the morning and find it 10 mts displaced in the evening. (jyaada ho gaya mainu pata hai :P).
Rahul had recently acquired a N70 and so he was hell-bent on some video clips to be taken. Yours truly was the commentator as I described the weather and other finer details of a typical train journey. The video came out to be really phunny and I heard lot of guys enjoyed it. And if kader khans were on board who could stop aruna iranis from boarding the train, and as the train crawled ahead on the red hot rails it gathered enough of the kind from the platforms that dotted the route.
Yaar AC ke tkt nahee mile..kee karta..
Bitchy aruna iranis, sleepy Kadar khan look alikes who snore from two different traps of their anatomy, chunkey pandey chaap students (read "us!!"), Paan-beedi-playing cards waalas who have been taught in their childhood that all train passengers are ch***ya (they try to sell you solitaire cards for the price of a computer), haaye haaye Eunuchs (chakkaas) singing and dancing on "kajra re.." and when they refer to you as 'Salman khan' you have to oblige them with a smiling Gandhi baba, an inevitable verbal clash between the waitlisted passengers and the persons who have their berths confirmed (the words they use reminds me of my hostel days ..Aahh those days when you could call a spade a spade and a *beep* a *beep*!!.)..well this is what that sums up a typical train journey while travelling 2nd class.
Phewhh!! I am glad I am back to my thelaa.by the way have you ever heard idioms like Choohe ke mooh me pohe, langoor ke haath me angoor?? or lets put it this way, Imagine angelina jolie wearing a Relaxo ki chappal to the cannes film festival or may be george clooney wearing a lux-cozi with enough holes in it to make it look like a map of Lakshadweep, and if you are still struggling to picture this have a look at this pic.

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority is seeking feedback on 17 measures - including the introduction of Open APIs - designed to kick start competition in the market for personal and business bank accounts.
Following a two-year investigation into the sector, in August the CMA set out its technology-driven plan to help smaller providers and new entrants take on the big banks and force them to work harder for their customers.
At the centre of the organisation's report is the concept of Open Banking, the use of technology to provide customers with more control over their accounts and financial services.
This means banks being required to introduce an Open API (application programming interface) banking standard by "early 2018" to enable personal and SME customers to safely and securely share their unique transaction history with other providers and trusted third parties.
The CMA is also demanding that banks provide technical support and financial backing to an initiative by independent charity Nesta to develop a set of tools providing comprehensive information about bank charges, service quality and credit availability.
Banks will have to help customers avoid unarranged overdraft charges by texting them when they are at risk of going overdrawn, and also help customers compare the service they get with other providers.
The 17 measures are now up for consultation, with responses to a draft order invited by 23 December.
Alasdair Smith, chairman, retail banking market investigation, says: "These reforms will fundamentally transform banking for personal customers and small businesses. They will break down barriers, increase competition and give customers control over their own money.
"Taken together we expect our remedies to deliver direct benefits to customers of between £700 million and £1 billion."
Despite the bold claims, some have complained that the plans do not go far enough. Back in August, Kevin Mountford, banking expert at MoneySuperMarket, said: "Those looking for wholesale reform of the banking market are likely to be holding their heads in their hands this morning. The CMA's final remedies are more 'gently does it', as opposed to the seminal, watershed moment for British banking that many had been looking for."

Killing of top Iranian general occurred alongside a secret, failed mission in Yemen, officials say
President Trump speaks from the White House on Wednesday in Washington.

The U.S. military tried, but failed, to take out another senior Iranian commander on the same day that an American airstrike killed the Revolutionary Guard's top general, U.S. officials said Friday.
The officials said a military airstrike by special operations forces targeted Abdul Reza Shahlai, a high-ranking commander in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, but the mission was not successful. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss a classified mission.
Officials said both Iranian Gen. Qassem Suleimani and Shahlai were on approved military targeting lists, which indicates a deliberate effort by the U.S. to cripple the leadership of the Revolutionary Guard's Quds Force, which has been designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. Officials would not say how the mission failed.
A U.S. drone strike on Jan. 3 killed Suleimani shortly after he landed at Baghdad International Airport. Trump administration officials have justified the killing as an act of self-defense, saying he was planning military acts that threatened large numbers of U.S. military and diplomatic officials in the Middle East. Iran, however, called the attack an act of terrorism, and early Wednesday it launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles at two bases in Iraq that house American and coalition forces. No one was killed in that retaliation.
The U.S. State Department offered a reward of $15 million early last month for information leading to the disruption of Revolutionary Guard finances, including Shahlai, a key financier in the group.
The State Department said he "has a long history of targeting Americans and U.S. allies globally," and planned multiple assassinations of coalition forces in Iraq. It said that his activities included providing weapons and explosives to Shiite militia groups and directing a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington in 2011.
The Pentagon declined to discuss the highly classified operation.
"We have seen the report of a Jan. 2 airstrike in Yemen, which is long-understood as a safe space for terrorists and other adversaries to the United States. The Department of Defense does not discuss alleged operations in the region," said Navy Cmdr. Rebecca Rebarich, a Pentagon spokeswoman.
The Washington Post first reported the development.

There are few things more enjoyable than a summer night full of stars, good conversation and a fire for outdoor entertaining. While there are many methods used to build a fire pit, it's very easy to build one using a metal barrel. Only a few tools and a little effort stand between you and a cozy fire.
Cut the metal barrel with your cutting torch. Most barrels have three ridges that divide the barrel into thirds. You'll want to cut along a ridge of the barrel so that the bottom third can be used for your fire pit. Grind the edges of the cut barrel in order to smooth them down, alleviating the risk of cuts and scrapes from it.
Measure the diameter of the barrel, and dig a hole matching the measurement. This hole should only be about 6 to 9 inches deep, as you want your barrel to stick up out of the ground some.
Fill the hole with gravel. The gravel will allow any moisture to drain into the ground better.
Drill holes into the bottom of the barrel with your drill. Seven or eight holes are sufficient.
Paint the cut barrel with a flat-black, heat-resistant spray paint. Many times, barbecue paint or engine paint will work for this. After the first coat dries for eight hours, paint the barrel again. Allow to dry for another eight hours.
Set the metal barrel bottom into the hole. At this point, your new fire pit is ready for its first fire.
Trim the outside of your fire pit with curved stone pavers, if you like.

What to do if Instagram gives you an "unknown error"
What to do if Instagram gives you an "unknown error"
Instagram "unknown error"
When you have a network with a billion users every month, and at least half use it every day, it's difficult to keep everything running smoothly. While offering users a wide range of options to show their life online, Instagram is not immune to bugs.
The Instagram "unknown error" presents itself completely randomly and prevents you from accessing your account. Also, you may see it as you try to update your feed. Let's explore this problem and see what you can do to solve it.
Article Contents: hide
1 WHY IS THE ERROR APPEARING?
2 CANCEL CACHE AND INSTAGRAM DATA
3 UPDATE INSTAGRAM
4 CHANGE THE DATE AND TIME
5 A QUICK SOLUTION
WHY IS THE ERROR APPEARING?
As the message states, this error appears because Instagram's servers are unable to communicate with your device. Logically, the first thing you need to do is check if you have a stable Internet connection.
Check if your device is connected to Wi-Fi data or mobile data. If it is on Wi-Fi, check if you are close enough to the router. In some cases, Instagram will not respond because your connection is too weak. If this is not the problem, try restarting the router. The old "plug it out and back in" method should help you solve it.
If you use your mobile data, the easiest way to resolve any network problem, including this one, is to enable and disable Airplane mode. On most Android phones, you will be able to do this by lowering the notification bar and tapping the Airplane icon. You can find the same icon on the iPhone by pulling Control Center from the bottom of the screen.
The above methods should solve the problem, in most cases. But if they haven't helped you, there's no need to worry, as there are some other options available to you.
CANCEL CACHE AND INSTAGRAM DATA
While using it, Instagram stores temporary files and data to make everything more fluid. The problem arises when data is damaged, which can cause several bugs. Furthermore, it takes up your storage space and can become much larger than the app itself.
If you are an Android user, you can delete cache and data by following these steps:
How To Repost A Video On Instagram Using The Repost App For iPhone Or…
How to remove the last seen on Instagram
Tap All apps, then find Instagram.
Tap Clear cache and Clear data
Force Stop
If you have an iPhone, things are a little different. There is no option to delete cache and data, so you'll have to delete Instagram altogether.
That's how:
Go to Settings > General.
Tap iPhone Storage and scroll down until you see Instagram.
Tap the Delete app button below and confirm.
Audio doesn't work on Instagram - What to do
How To Change Your Instagram Username Or Display Name On…
When you download Instagram again, you'll have a new app, so no problems. This should resolve any internal bugs and allow you to log in again.
UPDATE INSTAGRAM
If you are using an outdated version of Instagram, you can expect any kind of bug. Like any other app, it receives regular updates with bug fixes, security patches and many other features that the app must have to function normally.
Furthermore, both iOS and Android receive frequent updates. If your version of Instagram is not the most recent, it could be the reason why you get the message "Unknown network error".
Fortunately, this is a quick solution. All you have to do is start the App Store or Google Play Store, go to the updates section and check for updates available for Instagram. You will receive the latest version available and the bug should be fixed.
CHANGE THE DATE AND TIME
Strangely, some users have found that changing the date on the phone seems to correct the Instagram network error. While the connection to the problem here is not clear, it is worth trying if nothing else works.
Here's what you need to do:
Go to Settings > Date and time and set it to Automatic if it is not already.
Go back and try to access Instagram.
If it doesn't work, go back to the Date and time menu and set it to Manual.
Change the date in four years in the future, then try running Instagram again.
Whether it works or not, remember to go back and set the date and time to the default values.
A QUICK SOLUTION
As you can see, there are some ways to fix the "unknown error" bug and they are all fairly simple. You should be able to access your account again in no time. However, the bug is likely to return after a while. Some users have complained about seeing this error very often, so it is useful to learn these tips.
Until Instagram resolves this problem definitively, they can serve you. Have you encountered this problem before? If you have other suggestions to solve it, go ahead and leave them in the comments below.

Here is how we planned an 11-day itinerary in Iceland with packing list for a September visit. We didn't make the full circle around the island. After flying to Reykjavik, we toured the southern half of the island driving half-way up the east coast. We then returned on the same road, but stopped to see different things, and continued west to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, and back to Reykjavik.
Ideally, If I had the time, I'd spend another day or two in Reykjavik. But unless I had at least two weeks (or better yet three weeks) in the summertime, I don't think I'd take the road that circles the entire island. It's a lot of driving on not-very-good roads. As to accommodations and restaurants, I've only included the names of those we enjoyed.
Note: blueberries and crowberries are free for the picking on hillsides in Aug and Sep unless posted otherwise.
Note: this is as far north as we drove on the east side of the island.
• Reservation: "Taste of Iceland" dinner cruise 6:15 PM in Stykkisholmurl (2 ½ hrs) – loved this!
My blogs about Iceland are topical rather than itinerary-based. Enjoy!

SEZAD signs two contracts for Duqm Port
WCN Editorial Team 21 Nov 2016 MIDDLE EAST TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
The Special Economic Zone Authority in Duqm (SEZAD) has signed two contracts for the Duqm Port in Oman.
One of the contracts will include the construction of four terminals on the commercial pier. These include two for containers with a length of about 1,600m and width of 350m to handle about 3.5M TEUs annually.
Work will also involve the construction of a dry bulk terminal with an annual capacity of about 5M t, a versatile terminal with an annual capacity of about 800,000t, and a port operations area.
The project will be delivered by a joint venture of Turkish SERKA Company and Portugal-based MSF, and is valued at OMR107M ($278M).
The second project, estimated to cost OMR61M ($158M), will include the construction of a fishery port in Duqm. The port will include breakwaters with a length of 3.4km, an 850m-long fishing pier, and a tourist area.
The scope of the work will include the dredging of the harbour basin up to 6m, and the land reclamation to build the port service buildings. The project will be carried out by Galfar Engineering and Contracting.

This course will examine the classification of violence; its forms and motivations; governance and regulation of violence; and its physical, psychological and political effects and uses. It will address questions such as: whether all violence can be considered political; the changing social construction of violence; how a context of violence tends to bifurcate thinking and ways of knowing; how violence becomes enculturated; and whether it can be seen as a form of communication. It considers individual and collective state and non-state violent actors; normative and legal definitions and contexts of violence; and how violence is legitimized or de-legitimized. The effects of violence are considered in historical perspective, the effects of war on populations, the aftermath of political violence for combatants, the changing understandings of the impact of violence on individuals, the use of suffering and the politics of victimhood and contemporary understandings of trauma.
An examination of violence in systems of subordination, namely race and ethnicity; gender and sexuality; and socio-economic inequality and class.
All topics will be illustrated by practical examples drawn from research and experience in the US, UK, Northern Ireland, Israel/Palestine, Pakistan and India, South and West Africa and any other societies contributed by students.
Theoretical and ideological images of a borderless and interconnected global condition in which the nation state's power decreases and "flows" of people, capital and information mark they day, have been continuously challenged since the 1990s. Apart from the financial and austerity "crisis", it is precisely the rise and violence of borders, of restrictive and neoliberal migration regimes and of right-wing populist (xenophobic, racist and islamophobic) calls for securing the "nation" (in Europe and beyond), which have shown the power of (particular) states in the midst of trans-state institutions and unfolding neoliberal globalization.
In studying conflicts, we see quickly that no matter their particularities and specificities, there are common themes and threads, why then do they continue not only to arise but to carry on for so many years? For many, the answer lies in the nature of the international system and its fundamental organising principle, that of state sovereignty, whereby states are considered to have authority over a defined and internationally recognised territory, protected from external intervening forces. As with so many rights and principles, it was never intended that sovereignty be unconstrained. In 2005, in reaffirmation of this idea of "constrained sovereignty" but also as a response to successive, sometimes illegitimate and/or illegal interventions into the sovereign affairs of states, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the principle of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P).
R2P has since been widely debated by reason of the emphasis it places on achieving justice for people, placing obligations on states to protect the wellbeing of their citizens and to face the possibility of a military intervention when they fail to do so. However, less than 15 years after R2P, circumstances are suggestive of a limited and certainly wavering commitment to the principle of rights protection as the larger and longer scale consequences of intervention have been revealed.
In this course, students will be introduced to the underpinning concepts and competing understandings of (non-)intervention in situations of conflict. Students will learn to identify and deliver a critical analysis of those factors that shape conflict and international, regional and national responses to it. Emphasis is placed on the application of concepts and theories to real-life scenarios, examining a combination of historical and ongoing cases that offer insights for us as analysts.
Throughout the course, students will be asked to consider the origins of conflict as well as the conditions under and means through which it can be ended. By examining at least four different cases, the course aims to help students understand the arguments for and against a military intervention, the debate about who should undertake such an intervention and the authority and legitimacy under which it should be done. Four core themes in the study of Intervention will therefore sit at the heart of our studies: Sovereignty, Legitimacy, Legality, Human Rights. The case studies will comprise: Uganda-Tanzania War 1978-79; the former Yugoslavia 1991-99; Darfur 2003-?; Syria: 2011-?
The course will explore dynamics and frameworks enabling the social organization of memory, and modes in which entire communities (and not only individuals) preserve, remember or forget the past, commemorate it, deny or obliterate it. Finally, the course will highlight practices related to memory activism in spaces of mnemonic conflicts over the narratives and representations of the past.
In order to do so, students will be introduced to some theoretical frameworks in social memory studies and in conflict studies. Students will then apply this theoretical knowledge to a number of case studies, allowing them to further investigate the role of memory and memory activism in conflict analysis, and think comparatively about processes in conflict and post-conflict transformation.

I have created a Customer Data with different types of Model Entitites, defining the mix on each one of them. Once the model is running, a message appears saying "The maximun number in system limit for objects of [name of the model] has been exceeded. A possible cause is that the Maximun Number In System has too small of a value". However, I haven´t set any kind of property for the object.
Does anyone know how can I solve this?
Yes, on the ModelEntity, under the Population category you will find the property Maximum Number In System.
This exists because a common error is to allow entity creation to go wild (via an uncontrolled creation loop or an unbalanced system, for example). Since Simio has no limits, if this is allowed to happen you would run out of memory and possibly lose your model. So instead we allow you to set this number to anything that is reasonable in your model.
Thank you very much, that was exactly what I needed!
I would like to create new entities once certain number of entities has left the system. Also, I want the simulation time to be reset. How can I do these two things?
P.S. my entities arrive based on arrival table.


Early Victorian jewelry enjoyed several mystic with hidden definitions being popular. The back formation bracelets where the first mail of each gemstone spelled a word of friendship were very popular. For example a bracelet set with Lapis, Opal, Vermeil [hessonite garnet] and Emerald would spell Love. The Art Neuf period once again saw changes to fashion and jewelry. Chameleons and serpents entwined themselves around bracelets. The mystical Egyptian scarab was found on bracelets and rings. Other popular life included dragonflies, butterflies, bees, peacocks, swans, and even bats. This was a very figural period attached to nature. If charms did not depict creatures it depicted flower blossoms or flower buds.
