Laser Welding Repair - Laser Repair Technology | RPM Solutions, Inc.
RPM Solutions' added a carbide wear material with the laser welding process owned and operated by our sister company RPM Innovations, Inc. The lid in this wheel design is a structural and a wear component. Thermal spray process would only produce a mechanical bond with the base material which may crack or flake during operation. The previous thermal spray coating can be seen toward the inside diameter of the lid. Some of the thermal spray material is cracked and some has flaked off. The remaining thermal sprayed material was left in place, and the laser added material was applied right up to the existing thermal sprayed material. The laser welding is a metallurgical bond with the base material which made laser welding a perfect fit for this application. The dilution into the base material is minor and distortion is very minimal.
Previous wear material was applied via a spray process.
Spray processes are mechanically bonded to the base material.
Spray materials have a tendency to crack and flake during operation.
Laser applied material is metallurgically bonded to the base material.
Material dilution into the base material was consistent, controlled, and minimal.
Laser applied material created minimal distortion to the component.
The material for an atomizer drive plate was created by implementing Laser Freeform Manufacturing Technology (LFMT), a process performed by our sister company RPM and Associates. The typical material to be purchased would be a 13-1/4" diameter by 3-1/4" thick titanium plate. In this instance, a 13-1/4" diameter by 1-1/4" thick titanium plate and then hubs of the drive plate were deposited to near-net-shape. The laser deposited material is nearly 100% dense with mechanical properties comparable to wrought materials. The savings was not only 43.5 lbs of wrought titanium, but the many hours of additional machine time and the tooling required to remove the unutilized titanium.
RPM Solutions utilizes other engineering techniques to manufacture other drive plates. These techniques can be viewed in the Engineering section of this website.
Savings of 43.5 lbs of titanium.
Savings of many hours of additional machine time.
Savings of the potential tooling consumed.
Hubs were laser deposited to near net shape.
Laser deposited material nearly 100% dense.
Laser deposited material mechanical properties comparable to wrought materials.
After the machining process of these titanium forging began, it was apparent that there was not enough material to finish the drive plate per print. Rather than discarding the forging and the machine time already spent, RPM Solutions had a few ounces of strategically laser welded titanium added to the forging to achieve a properly tolerance part. RPM Innovations, our sister company that owns and operates a couple of state-of-the-art laser welding machines, utilized this technology to correct this titanium forging. RPM Innovations has been laser welding titanium for many years. Some of their customers include the top aerospace companies in the world. This process has been proven time and time again and has become a standard process in the aerospace industry. It is critical that weld to be of the highest quality, since the atomizer drive plate rotates above 13,000 RPM.
Laser deposited is 100% metallurgical bonded.
After thousands of hours of service, this atomizer case was thought to be permanently retired from service. During operation the atomizer case was subjected to some unusual wear. This wear jeopardized the support for the o-ring. Those responsible did not want the wear to progress any further in fear of failure during operation. RPM Innovations, our sister company that owns and operates a couple of state-of-the-art laser welding machines, utilized this technology to fix this titanium atomizer case. The atomizer case was laser repaired, machined, returned to service, and continues to operate to this date.
Prevention of scrapping atomizer case.
Cost of repairs were minimal compared to cost of new titanium atomizer case.
Required only a few grams of laser added material.
Laser process created unnoticed distortion to titanium atomizer case.

What Chef Eats: Slamet "Uki" Basuki (The Foodie Magazine, May 2014)
I consider Umaku as the one and only local sushi haunt that I really like and my friends even fancy their omakase for its reasonable price. However, I will keep the restaurant story for some other time and instead, let us focus on its chef and co-owner, Slamet "Uki" Basuki.
Chef Uki is an accomplished sushi chef and a restaurateur, but that not was not how it all started for him. Aside from his home cooking background during his school days, he originally wanted to work out on the sea. "I used to think that studying seamanship would land you a really good paying job, but on the contrary, it wasn't at all for me for some reason. However, to make ends meet during my student years, I worked as an apprentice at a sushi restaurant," he says.
That was probably the time when he realized that running a sushi restaurant could be a promising business he thought in the back of his mind, since you could only find a handful of sushi joints then. What's favorable for him was that he can learn about the business directly under the tutelage of a Japanese sushi chef there. "I was simply inspired by his work and I always wanted to learn about everything that he does. I jotted down every recipe and practiced a lot. Not long after, he gave me more responsibility", Chef Uki reminisced.
During the period, Chef Uki encountered a loyal customer in the late Gatot Purwoko who was fond of his work. Chef Uki shared with us their conversation, "He said that we should work together after he retires sometime. Several years later he called and told me that the deal was on!" From there, they started Umaku together and Chef Uki went to the length of learning more on how to appreciate sushi in its authentic way and trained his palate by going to Japan, guided by his former mentors.
Despite the exquisite ingredients he often works with on a daily basis, he confessed that eventually, what he really fancies most are his wife's cooking. "I can never get enough of my wife's tempe. She can fry it straight, or dices it into orek tempe, or anything, me and my family will never get tired of it!" said the chef.
There we were then, while exchanging our thoughts about sushi and sashimi altogether on the same dining table, we savored the best from his wife's home dishes. Everything was impeccably delicious, starting from the tempe, salted fish, lalapan, sayur asem, and a really good yet spicy sambal. "You can't beat this with something else for us Indonesians, right?" challenged the chef.

William Bennett, 49, Guitarist Who Was a Mentor to Many
By ROBERT F. WORTH OCT. 14, 2003
William Bennett, a rock guitarist and entrepreneur whose studio near ground zero provided a haven to frustrated performers with day jobs on Wall Street who dreamed of playing live rock and roll, died on Oct. 7 at Bellevue Hospital Center. He was 49.
The cause was complications of injuries he received in a car accident in the East Village in September.
In 1997, Mr. Bennett, himself a refugee from the business world, purchased a TriBeCa studio, the Off Wall Street Jam, where he coached and encouraged other reborn musicians and helped arrange engagements for them at clubs in Manhattan.
After the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, he raised money to bring music and instruments to downtown schools, and returned to his studio on Murray Street -- within two blocks of ground zero -- and hung out a sign encouraging firefighters and construction workers to come inside and play.
Mr. Bennett was a mentor to the 400-odd dues-paying members at the Jam, keeping files on all of them so he could help them find suitable bandmates. He kept the studio's four rehearsal rooms booked solid and ran open-mike lunch, evening and weekend jam sessions. He also sent out a weekly e-mail bulletin featuring reviews of the previous week's shows and an advice column, Ask Dr. Sharpley. In it, he documented musical pathologies like solofrenia, the disease of guitarists who cannot stop playing solos.
Mr. Bennett, who referred to the Jam as a mental health club, divided all musicians into three classes: Plan A, for serious young artists who hoped to make the big time; Plan B, for those who were good enough to make a living; and Plan C, for the closet rockers who played at the Jam.
He had been all three, said Tyrone Johnson, 23, an assistant at the Jam, which remains open.
William Bennett was born on Oct. 19, 1953, and grew up on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in a family with show-business roots. His maternal grandfather, Jack Blue, worked as George M. Cohan's dance director, and later ran a stage dance studio on Broadway.
Mr. Bennett graduated from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, majoring in music and psychology. As a young man he played in several bands, including the Immortal Primitives, which had some success and opened for the Ramones. But eventually he took a day job at a photography agency, and for several years did not play guitar at all.
Buying the Jam, which had opened in the early 1990's, was a serious financial risk and never earned him much money, said Greg Manning, a friend who advised him to buy it. ''I told him, if you make it work, you might be happy for the rest of your life,'' Mr. Manning said. ''That's how it turned out, though his life was way too short.''
Mr. Bennett is survived by his mother, Julie Bennett Blue, and his sister, Tara Bennett Goleman.
Before his death, he had been planning a three-day rock extravaganza to honor his 50th birthday on Oct. 19, with appearances by dozens of bands he played in, many of them cover acts with names like the Rolling Bones and Abbey Roadkill. Several of his friends said they were going to proceed with the plan in his honor.
Mr. Bennett's principal band, the Rolling Bones, played at a wedding on the night of his funeral.
''Man, it was hard,'' said Mr. Manning, who plays bass in the band. ''But we rocked it. We knew it was what Billy wanted us to do.''

'Catastrophic' avian flu devastates endangered tern colonies in Door County
Paul A. Smith
The spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) across North America in 2022 has taken an unprecedented toll on wild birds, according to federal data.
Already the number of birds dead from the virus is more than 10 times greater than documented in any other avian flu outbreak.
But as with many wildlife diseases, the impacts of HPAI are difficult to assess as wild birds often disperse and die never to be found.
A sobering exception was discovered in early June by researchers visiting Caspian tern breeding sites in Wisconsin.
Where they expected to find colonies of the state endangered bird brooding eggs, they instead saw windrows of dead adults.
The two islands off Door County — Gravel Island and Hat Island — had 1,221 dead Caspian terns.
Many other birds were nearly dead and displayed neurological impairment including head tremors, head tilting, loss of coordination and were unable to walk or fly properly, according to a report by Sadie Odell of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The symptoms are consistent with HPAI.
One adult tern on Gravel Island was observed in an incubating posture next to a nest and unable to move, said Sumner Matteson, avian ecologist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, of his June 2 visit to the site.
Nearby a Herring gull chick sought shelter under the shade of a dead tern.
The dead Caspian terns on the islands represent the loss of at least 64% of Wisconsin's breeding population of the species, according to Matteson.
"Just devastating," Matteson said. "The most horrific thing I've witnessed in my 42 years doing bird work."
Lesser numbers of dead double-crested cormorants and Herring gulls were also seen on the islands.
Necropsies on seven Caspian terns and two cormorants from the islands were conducted at the National Wildlife Health Center in Madison.
All of the submitted birds from both islands were positive for HPAI, said Nancy Businga, DNR wildlife disease specialist.
The case highlights how significantly the virus can impact wild birds.
The 2021-22 outbreak of avian flu in North America is already the worst in seven years among U.S. domestic flocks and the deadliest ever documented among America's wild birds, including raptors and waterfowl.
The highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) strain, called EA H5N1, has been circulating since late 2021. It had been detected in 42 states as of June 24, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
So far 40.1 million domestic birds have died in the outbreak, mostly through depopulations at infected poultry farms, according to federal figures.
It's the biggest since 2015 when HPAI subtype H5N2 affected about 49 million domestic birds. At a cost of $1 billion, the outbreak was the most costly animal health emergency in U.S. history, according to the USDA.
In the last major avian flu outbreak, 98 HPAI-positive wild birds were detected between December 2014 and June 2015, according to the USDA. Most were hunter-harvested waterfowl from the Pacific Flyway.
That number has spiked to 1,585 among wild birds in the current outbreak, according to USDA figures released June 24.
But as evidenced by the Caspian tern findings in Wisconsin, the number of dead wild birds in the federal report vastly underrepresents the toll of the disease.
The global spread of avian flu is driven in large part by migratory waterfowl, according to the USDA.
Knowledge about migratory patterns and intercontinental associations of waterfowl, as well as genetic analyses of viral strains, supported the hypothesis that previous HPAI outbreaks entered North America from Asia via migratory birds.
Wild waterfowl and other species shed the virus into the environment through their oral and nasal secretions and feces.
Scavenging and predatory species can also pick up the virus by feeding on infected dead or live birds.
The disease has affected dozens of species, including bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, Canada geese, lesser scaup and American white pelicans.
Songbirds appear to be relatively unaffected.
But many researchers are concerned about the impact the disease will have on wild bird reproduction and recruitment this year.
Madison Audubon has conducted a Bald Eagle Nest Watch program since 2018 in Wisconsin. The citizen-science effort includes frequent monitoring of eagle nests from the mating season in winter through fledging in spring and summer.
From 2018-21, the program recorded 28 eagle nest failures on 187 nests observed, or 15%. The annual failure rates ranged from 9% to 28%.
This year the failure rate has spiked to 46% on 145 monitored nests, according to data provided by program organizer Drew Cashman.
Eagles in the Fox River Valley fared worse than other areas in the study. Nest failures there reached 71% (17 of 24).
Dead chicks were not tested for disease and it's not possible to attribute all the failures to HPAI. But in one case, an adult eagle in Milwaukee County found unable to fly near a nest and later euthanized tested positive for HPAI.
Colonial nesting waterbirds are being hit hard by the disease. Among the Wisconsin death toll attributed to HPAI are 1,143 dead double-crested cormorants, 106 American white pelicans and 71 Herring gulls, according to data provided by Matteson.
The tally includes 202 dead cormorants and 43 pelicans at Horicon National Wildlife Refuge near Horicon.
It's not clear why Caspian terns have died at even higher rates than the others.
A researcher in Michigan found similar devastation as to what occurred at the Wisconsin islands. Caspian tern colonies were "wiped out" on Bellow Island in Grand Traverse Bay with 255 dead adults, according to a Michigan Radio report.
Conversely, common terns in the region are faring much better, Matteson said. It's possible differences in the migration patterns and habits of the two species will provide answers.
For now Matteson said he and the other researchers were left with an overwhelming feeling of helplessness.
Caspian terns can live to 30 years of age and don't breed until they are 3. The disease has not only killed a significant number of the adult breeding population this year but will likely result in very few, if any, chicks that survive.
Matteson said it will likely take decades for the Caspian tern population to recover from this year's die-off.
"I've seen a lot in my career, but this is the worst," Matteson said. "It's absolutely catastrophic."
Researchers remain hopeful that, similar to previous HPAI subtypes, the virus will dissipate this summer and not spark another outbreak.

Roksana Wegiel will represent Poland at Junior Eurovision 2018!
Tom RyanSeptember 21, 2018Last Updated: September 21, 2018
Today (21st September), Polish broadcaster TVP announced that Roksana Wegiel has been internally selected to represent Poland at this year's Junior Eurovision in Minsk on 25th November. Roksana's song is set to be released at a later date.
Internal selection for the first time
2018 marks the first ever time that Poland has selected their entrant for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest internally. On Poland's past participations in 2003, 2004, 2016 and 2017, they used a national final to select their entrant, however, it has been reported that due to poor results in both 2016 and 2017 (11th and 8th place respectively), they have decided to internally select Roksana this year.
Poland are not the only country to select their entrant internally for this year's contest – Australia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, FYR Macedonia and Serbia have all also selected their entrants for the contest internally.
Poland's announcement of whether they will host a national final again or opt for internal selection has been long awaited, after they confirmed for the contest back at the start of January this year.
Who is Roksana Wegiel?
13-year old, Roksana Wegiel, was born in Poland on 11th January 2005. Roskana rose to fame after winning the first season of the Polish version of The Voice Kids, back in February this year.
Roksana's coach on The Voice Kids was Poland's debut Eurovision representative, Edyta Górniak, who represented the country in 1994 with the song, "To nie ja", finishing in 2nd place behind winners Ireland. Roskana performed a range of songs during the course of the show including Beyoncé's "Halo", Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball", Prince's "Purple Rain", Edyta Gorniak's "To nie ja" and her original winning song, "Żyj". You can hear her performance of "To nie ja" below:
The young singer, who has over 217 thousand followers on Instagram, said in a statement that:
Winning The Voice Kids was an honour and a dream come true, but representing my country at Junior Eurovision is an actual honour. Dreaming and fighting for your dreams is worthy. Thanks for believing in me!"
Poland in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest
Poland made their debut in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest when the contest began in 2003, in Copenhagen, Denmark. After winning the Polish national final for the contest Katarzyna Żurawik represented the nation with the song, "Coś mnie nosi". Unfortunately, they finished last with just three points. In 2004, Poland came out with exactly the same result, finishing in the last place slot with again, three points.
After two years of poor results and despite TVP signing a 3-year contract with the EBU, Poland decided to withdraw from the contest in 2005. The country did not return to compete again until 2016, despite rumours in 2008 that the broadcaster was considering making a return.
On their return in 2016, Poland sent Olivia Wieczorek with the song "Nie zapomnij", which as already mentioned, finished in 11th place with 60 points. Last year, Alicja Rega represented Poland with the song "Moj dom", scoring Poland's best result to date, finishing in 8th place with 138 points.
You can hear Alicja's performance in Tbilisi last year below:
Are you excited to see Roksana represent Poland? What type of song do you hope she performs? Do you think she will better Poland's best result of eighth place?
Let us know in the comments below and on social media @ESCXTRA.

NORWALK >> After being shut out for three quarters, the West all-stars scored a touchdown and a safety in the fourth and pulled out a 12-3 victory over the East in Friday's 605 All Star Football Classic at Cerritos College.
Narbonne quarterback Eban Jackson threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Ty'jon Delancy of Garfield with 10:25 left in the fourth quarter for a 7-3 lead, and a pair of bad snaps on the East's next drive led to a safety.
The East had one more chance with 4:56 left, and set up fourth-and-1 at the 29. But La Mirada's Adam Carrasco was dropped for a loss on fourth down. The West added a field goal by Paramount's Alfredo Solis in the final seconds.
La Serna quarterback Frankie Palmer overcame an 0-for-2 passing effort in the first half to throw for 44 yards in the second, all to La Serna teammates. He found D'Andre Sanchez for a 13-yard game and hooked up twice with Matthew Rosales, but Villa Park's Jason Sanders missed a 29-yard field goal with 1:50 left in the third that would have extended the East's lead to 6-0.
The first half ended with the East leading 3-0, and featured 65 penalty yards, something no uncommon for all-star games. Norwalk's Rashaad Penny had the game's two most exciting plays, a 46-yard pass from Scott Lloyd that set up the only score of the half and a 31-yard run on a hook-and-lateral on the half's final play. Villa Park's Charles Kendrick caught Kyle Blumer's pass across the middle, then pitched to Penny at the 43. He ran toward the West's sideline, then reversed field and picked up several blocks as the crowd rose to its feet. He was finally run out of bounds at the 12, and the team's headed to their locker rooms after some pushing and shoving along the sideline.
After a scoreless first quarter, the East took advantage of an interception in the end zone by Cal's Isaiah Almaraz. Starting from the 20, Lloyd found Penny for a 46-yard catch-and-run into West territory. Lloyd added runs of 15 and seven yards to get the ball to the 13, and Sanders booted a 31-yard field goal with 5:14 left in the half.
The East failed to take advantage of excellent field position later in the half when the ball was snapped over the head of West punter Edgar Tafoya of Montebello. From the West 20-yard-line, the East lost yardage on three consecutive plays, and Sanders missed a 53-yard field goal attempt. On the series, La Mirada's Adam Carrasco was dropped for a five-yard loss, an offside penalty moved it back another five, and Palmer was sacked for a seven-yard loss to Bell Gardens' Ramiro Suarez.
Delancy finished the half with 39 combined rushing and receiving yards, and he thrilled the crowd when he leaped over an East defender after catching a pass from Jackson for a 14-yard gain.

4. Material: Most rugs are made 100% Wool weaved onto cotton thread, some may have silk highlights. So if anyone in your home has allergy issues you may consider other options like pure silk or cotton durries.
5.An estimate of your budget (Optional).
Rug prices vary, the cost of rugs depends on the current design, color in demand in the market, number of knot counts and classic pieces. So it is difficult to price all the rugs, for example one 8×10 rug could cost less or more then the other. Each rug cost varies from the other. However, we will work according to your budget and you wont be disappointed by our selection.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GRANITE, MARBLE AND QUARTZ (ENGINEERED STONE)
Granite & marble are natural products quarried from the Earth. Quartz or engineered stone is a man-made product consisting of 93% quartz. Quartz is non-porous and elements like oils and vinegar cannot harm the stone and bacteria tends not to linger. Granite & marble can be porous and sealer is required and applied when necessary. Also, quartz does have a more uniform look and feel where granite & marble can have a lot of color variation and extreme movement. These unpredictable elements, however, are often viewed as the beauty of the stone and are why granite and marble are still one of the most popular choices of countertops today.
We always set top priority to research and increase the quality value in every product.
Continuously updated, providing quality products, modern models according to world trends.
Protecting the environment and developing community benefits.
Constantly creating, improving professionalism, providing optimal solutions to create maximum convenience for customers.
Devoting to become a reliable strategic partner for every business.
Become the most reputable brand in the construction materials industry, engineered paving stones in the domestic market and on par with major brands in the world, with the motto:
The best quality.
Customer satisfaction oriented

DoE Cleantech Competition
July 03, 2018 July 3, 2018 Samantha Jo LewisLeave a comment
The Department of Energy's National Business Competition
The U.S. Energy Department's (DOE's) Cleantech University Prize (Cleantech UP) looks to inspire and equip young clean energy entrepreneurs and innovators by providing them with competitive funding for business development and other opportunities.
In the previous week, The Energy Department held its Cleantech UP, at a national business competition on June 27-28, 2018 at Rice University within the Jones Graduate School of Business. Twenty-Three teams came together to compete for the 1st place, grand prize of $50,000.
The competition was divided into two separate days, the 1st was a pre-judging practice round. This round is designed to give the teams a chance to test their presentation skills and business models in front of real judges without points deducted for mistakes. During this round, judges are allowed to give feedback meant to help the teams better preform for day two. On the 2nd day the competition is real, and the teams are expected to hit the ground running. This rigorous round took the entirety of the day, stressed teams, but ultimately provided a winner.
There were five GOOSE Society of Texas members there representing GOOSE as judges, mentors, and observers.
The top six finalists where NUMIX, ETC Solar LLC, SurgePower Materials, PolarPanel, Hearth Labs, and CarbonSul. ETC Solar LLC took the grand prize and 1st place.
ETC Solar accepting the Grand Prize
ETC Solar LLC, a Los Angeles, California based is a spin off from the California Institute of Technology, developing manufacturing equipment for solar cell manufacturers. Thereby the efficiency of its solar cells are increased by 5%.
Thomas Russell (CEO & Co-founder) and Michael Kelzenberg (Head R&D Team) were there to represent the company. Prior to the 1st place announcement, Thomas and Michael where interviewed. Thomas, when asked about his concerns coming into the competition said, "Basically the biggest fear is there being one judge experienced in ETC Solar's field asking the tough question(s) that potentially make the business model look weak, but as a start-up we don't know all the answers." Furthermore, Thomas was asked what the team expected out of this competition, he replied, "There are so many judges, it is a great test from outsiders to be able to see if they understand and get the story ETC Solar is telling." Thomas added "This is an opportunity to meet friendly investors to go home on and this gives a boost of confidence. Exposure to all judges is great!"
GOOSE would like to congratulate ETC Solar and their team on the successful win and all other regional competitors in this year's competition!

This past Thursday, June 21, 2018 the GOOSE Society of Texas hosted their summer investment meeting at the Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University. The geese hosted eight companies, two special guest speakers who provided a venture capital community update and swore in a new GOOSE member!
Alex Wesley, CEO of Arovia, on stage at the Texas A&M New Ventures Competition where his company took home the grand prize.
Out of the eight companies presenting GOOSE heard from many different verticals located in 4 different geographies, including Silicon Valley, China, and of course, Houston. The industries presented were consumer electronics, artificial intelligence, robotics, medical devices, and lastly manufacturing in specialty chemicals. The GOOSE Society was pleased to have hosted Forest Devices, the 2017 Rice Business Plan Competition (RBPC) winner that is working towards the better treatment of stroke patients with their device, AlphaStroke. The group also heard from the two GOOSE Society Prize winners of the Texas A&M New Ventures Competition, Arovia and M&S Biotics.
The special attendees were Gina Luna & Russ Capper who represented Houston Exponential (HX), an independent 501C-3 organization that supports the growth of the Houston innovation economy. HX leads on the opportunities that require collaboration across the ecosystem, champions the ecosystem by telling the innovation story of the region and its firms, and it builds and attracts the resources the innovation economy needs to thrive. Along with strong momentum powered by fourteen working groups operated with over two-hundred active volunteers from over fifty major corporations, HX has achieved a major milestone with its new innovation district. This 9.4 acre, $100 million redevelopment by Rice University of the Sears building in Midtown is expected to be complete in two years and will bring a district of dense, mixed used space that attracts talent and creates collisions among entrepreneurs, investors, academics and other ecosystem players.
The GOOSE Society of Texas is also thrilled to have sworn in a new member, Cris Gaut, the Chairman and CEO at Forum Energy Technologies!
The GOOSE Society of Texas looks forward to its next investment meeting in September.

Larry Lawson Receives the 2018 Horatio Alger Award
"Success is not measured by your position in life, but by what you have overcome and made out of it." – Lawson
Each year 10 to 12 individuals receive a lifetime membership in the Horatio Alger Association with the presentation of the Horatio Alger Award. The Award symbolizes the Association's values, including personal initiative and perseverance, leadership and commitment to to excellence, belief in the free-enterprise system and importance of higher education, community service, and the vision and determination to achieve a better future.
The Horatio Alger Association honors the achievements of outstanding individuals in our society who have succeeded in spite of adversity and who are committed to supporting young people in pursuit of increased opportunities through higher education. Since 1984, the association has awarded more than $143 million in need-based scholarships. In 2017 alone, $18 million was awarded to 2,379 scholars, each who received $25,000 for co llege.
Larry Lawson Founder/CEO of HeartcoR Solutions & Proxima Clinical Research, was born in 1945 in Port Arthur, Texas, where jobs were limited to the local Texaco refinery. "Was about the only job in town, unless you went into business for yourself," Lawson says, "a few years after I was born, my father did just that. He left his refinery job to become part owner of a gas station, and we lived in a little house across the street."
The family lived on a strict budget, and by 1950, when Lawson was five, his father had purchased a garage on four acres. The fa
mily lived in a house on the property next door to the garage. Lawson's father continued to work hard through the years and eventually built an auto parts store next to the garage. While Lawson's mother sometimes helped with he store her main concern was for her children, a brother to Lawson who was 12 years older, and a sister who was 10 years old but who suffered from spina bifida.
This situation with the family left Lawson on his own for majority of his time along with his own obstacles to overcome. Lawson, at the age of six, began to suffer from the incorrect development of his hip socket and as a result, he had to be fitted for a leg brace, which he was required to wear for the following six years of his childhood.
"As an active young man this was a difficult situation for Lawson to accept," says Lawson. The kids in school shunned and bullied Lawson for years. Finally Lawson went to his father to ask how to deal with the bullying, as Lawson's biggest encourager he told Lawson something he would never forget.
'Son, life is like a car battery. You have to have a positive and negative force for it to work. So for every negative thing that comes into your life, you are going to have to find a positive thing that can come out of it.'
Since Lawson's outdoor play was limited he was encouraged by his parents to get into music. He developed a passion for rock and roll and by the age of 10 began writing his own music. By age 12 he had began copywriting several of his songs and contemplated his own business. Lawson later recorded his first record which he deemed as his first accomplishment that gave him the confidence to be anything he wanted.
Lawson's social life had greatly improved, by the age of 16, he formed a band with Johnny and Edgar Winter, who went on to become rock/jazz icons in the 1970s and 80s. He played with them off and on for the next three years, including his first year at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, where he
received a music scholarship. Two years later however, Lawson decided music would not be a longterm career and changed his major to accounting. Lawson after participating in another band known as the Clique in 1969, at age 24, decided it was time to leave and pursue a business career.
In 1981, Lawson felt it was time for a new direction and left his job at Deseret Medical to found MESCO, a medical import/export company. Later in 1992, he founded Lawson Medical Association after he was out of a job with Sysco in Houston, Texas. In 2000, he founded Diagnostics Monitoring Associations. In 2004, he founded and headed eCardio, which became INC 500, one of the fastest growing private companies in America. His company developed a better way to detect atrial fibrillation and was acquired in 2014 by Merck and Boston Scientific. He remained as the CEO and chairman, and has remained on the board as the company's largest share holder. In 2015, he founded HeartcoR Solutions, LLC, and ECG core laboratory composed of successful healthcare executives and experienced professionals grounding in diagnostic monitoring services, cardiac rhythm management, health information technology, and medical device development.
Larry Lawson is actively involved with the Texas Medical Center's Accelerator program, providing leadership to start-up companies at TMC. Lawson is also an advisory board member of the Texas Medical Center Venture Fund. "I know the industry, and I know how to make things happen," he says. "I'm advising 30-plus companies and serve on the boards and as an investor in many of them. I'm 72 now, and I should be retired, but I'm working more now than ever. I wake up excited and full of energy because I'm doing something I love," Lawson says.
"…I believe in the saying that for those to whom much has been given, much is expected. I've been given so many opportunities and success, and so I believe a lot is expected of me. I am honored to receive the Horatio Alger Award and vow to do all I can to support the Association's mission," Lawson says.
Other GOOSE Society members conferred to the Horatio Alger Association are: Jack Gill, Art Ciocca and Terry Giles.
Along with Lawson, 11 other individuals were conferred in the Horatio Alger Association in the class of 2018 such as Gregory E. Abel, Ronald M. Bergeron, Sr., Don R. Daseke, Alphonso R. Jackson, David Johnson, James J. Liautaud, Rob Lowe, Reba McEntire, James H. Pugh, Jr., Ernest S. Rady, and H. Lee Scott, Jr.. Other honorable mentions that have been inducted are Tom Selleck, Buzz Aldrin, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Billy Graham, Leonardo DiCaprio, Benjamin S. Carson, President Dwight Eisenhower, President Gerald Ford, President Herbert Hoover and President Ronald Reagan.

As a GOOSE Society member, Larry Lawson was well supported at the Horatio Alger Award Ceremony. GOOSE members sponsored four tables at the Horatio Alger Awards. Lamar University constituents made up one of the four tables. In Lawson's honor, Lamar University hosted a dinner while in Washington DC. Back in Houston, The GOOSE Society also hosted a speciality dinner for Mr. Lawson at the crowd favorite BYOB restaurant, Corelli's.

New Delhi [India], Dec 8 (ANI): On the morning of November 8, Delhi reached the alarming mark of 999 on the air quality index, a score which is labelled as 'severe', and which forced the Delhi government to declare a public health emergency in the city.
In the past few months, multiple cities in North India, including Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi and Patna witnessed a dramatic dip in the quality of air. Apart from the issue of a reduced visibility, this change in the air quality can also have adverse effects on the lives of the residents.
The exposure to smog, a deadly combination of smoke and fog found in urban areas, can cause multiple health complications in individuals, including an increased risk of developing lung cancer according to recent studies in the field of cancer.
'The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)', a research branch of World Health Organisation, has now classified outdoor pollution as a carcinogen, i.e. a cancer-causing agent.
"Air pollution is one of the prominent reasons that can increase the risk of lung cancer. Over the last couple of years, I have seen a huge number of patients, especially women who are non-smokers and do not have a genetic history of lung cancer but are yet diagnosed with the disease," says Dr. Manish Singhal, senior Consultant for Medical Oncology in Apollo Hospital.
While exposure to smoke, both direct and passive, remains one of the leading causes of lung cancer, research has proven that contact with carcinogens like pesticides, arsenic, and other harmful particulate matter found in the polluted air of major cities can also increase the risk of developing the chronic disease.
"The air pollution in urban areas is akin to inhaling multiple cigarettes simultaneously," remarks Dr. Kumar Prabhash Professor of Medical Oncology at TATA Memorial Hospital.
Unfortunately, the problem is not limited to the cities. "In the rural areas on the other hand, the resources like wood and dung which are used for cooking can put the families at risk of developing the disease," explains Dr. Kumar.
According to a 2012 WHO, one in eight global deaths was caused due to air pollution exposure. Hence, it becomes extremely critical to undertake strong measures to check the environmental health risk.
"Reducing emissions should be a combined effort made by the government, industry and the public," says Dr. Sankar Srinivasan, consultant medical oncologist, Apollo Hospital, Chennai.
Apart from these, every individual who comes in contact with the toxic air of the cities must take preventive measures against the chronic disease.
"My advice to the residents of the affected areas is to wear a minimum of N95 mask whenever they are exposed to external environment. Patients who are suffering from breathing problems should visit their nearest hospitals and we usually prescribe a dose of steroids and with nebulization that are that are highly beneficial," says Dr. Singhal.
-Limit your outdoor activities and avoid overexerting yourself.
-Place air purifying plants like aloe Vera, Peace Lilly and English Ivy in your house or invest in good quality air purifiers.
-Keep your rooms well ventilated to prevent congested spaces within the house.
-Avoid consuming junk food, and eat meals rich in Vitamin C and Omega 3 fats to keep your energy levels high.
-Individuals with respiratory problems should avoid visiting highly polluted places and seek immediate medical support in case of health complications like difficulty in breathing and chest irritation.
-The month-long nightmare of the worsening air quality is far from over, as with the approaching winter, the quality of air in North India is expected to deteriorate further.

Q: C++11 Passing a function with arguments to a function running in a thread I am in the process of writing a multithreaded TCP server. I am going to have one thread handle incoming socket connections, and spin off threads to handle the communication on those sockets. However, I want the thread handling socket connections to take as parameters a callback function with supporting parameters, and the compiler is complaining. Here is code to illustrate my problem:
template<class Function, class... Args>
void handleIncomingConnectionRequests(Function&& f, Args... args)
{
    f(args...);
}

void callback(int x)
{
    std::cout << x << "\n";
}

void main()
{
    std::thread handleIncomingConnectionsThread(handleIncomingConnectionRequests<decltype(callback)>, callback, 5);
    handleIncomingConnectionsThread.join();
}

When I attempt to compile this with clang on Windows, I get a fairly large compilation stack error, but the relevant issue seems to be the following:
error: too few arguments to function call, expected 1, have 0

f(args...);

Why does args appear to have no parameters? I'm clearly passing two arguments to the std::thread constructor. I have clearly done something wrong in the way I am passing the variables in, but I'm not sure how to resolve the issue.
EDIT: It was pointed out that I failed to define the second template argument. I have updated the code to read:
template<class Function, class... Args>
void handleIncomingConnectionRequests(Function&& f, Args... args)
{
    f(args...);
}

void callback(int x)
{
    std::cout << x << "\n";
}

void main()
{
    std::thread handleIncomingConnectionsThread(handleIncomingConnectionRequests<decltype(callback), int>, callback, 5);
    handleIncomingConnectionsThread.join();
}

I now get this error:
error: no matching function for call to 'invoke'

This error comes from the xthread file, part of the implementation of the C++ standard library for the thread include file.

A: Change
std::thread handleIncomingConnectionsThread(handleIncomingConnectionRequests<decltype(callback), int>, callback, 5);

to
std::thread handleIncomingConnectionsThread(handleIncomingConnectionRequests<decltype(callback)*, int>, callback, 5);

or
std::thread handleIncomingConnectionsThread(handleIncomingConnectionRequests<decltype(&callback), int>, callback, 5);

The good humour and sunny disposition of Helena Hughes shone through during her recent television appearance at the Rose of Tralee finals.
Helena has described her time in Tralee as 'incredible' and 'one of the best experiences of her life'.
As well as being a wonderful Rose she has obviously found her niche and is now studying a Masters in Fashion Buying and Management on a part time basis. She completed her internship with Penneys head office in Dublin and she has also worked alongside the Irish designer, Liz Quinn. Helena now works in a cosmetics buying position in Brown Thomas and enjoys her role there.
The Kilkenny Rose is enjoying her title and had a great time in Tralee.
"I am very happy to be an ambassador for Kilkenny and I am very proud to be from here. I just love the friendliness of Kilkenny. It is a very create and special city and I really hope the Abbey Site is developed well and that a third level institution comes to Kilkenny. Not everyone gets the opportunity to come back," she added. She cites her grandmother Hannah Mulhall as being one of her biggest influences and greatest friends.

Trader Joe's Reduces Produce Prices and Plastic Packaging
Trader Joe's announced they're rolling back produce prices.
This news alone is exciting, but we're even more delighted about why they're cutting prices. As they work to reduce the amount of plastic packaging they use on items like potatoes, onions, garlic and apples, they're also eliminating the cost associated with it. It's a win for people and the planet!
"The cost of putting those two little heads of garlic in a sleeve added a lot to our costs," said Jack Salamon, Trader Joe's category manager for produce.
Two garlic heads retailed for $1.39. "But now, you can go to Trader Joe's and get a big clove of garlic for 49 cents," Salamon said.
The change comes after frequent Trader Joe's shoppers took to the internet to sign a petition asking the store to reduce their plastic packaging.
At the end of 2018, the store responded and announced they'd be eliminating more than 1 million pounds of plastic from their stores in 2019. Now the company has said that number is even bigger.
"We are on track to eliminate 4 million pounds of plastic from our stores in 2019 and 2 ½ million pounds of that plastic has come directly out of the produce section," said Salamon.
Remember, natural packaging is the best kind of packaging. Avocados, bananas, corn, nectarines, potatoes and tomatoes are all grown with a wrapper! Just don't forget to give these fruits and veggies a good scrub when you get home.
So while Trader Joe's is making strides to do their part, remember to do your part and bring your reusable bags.

Q: Converting date from UTC to CET I would like to convert a date given in the UTC format to a date in the CET format.
The problem is that I need to add or subtract hours accordingly.
Example:
Date = "2015-07-31 01:14:05"

I would like to convert it to German date (adding two hours):
2015-07-31 03:14:05"

My code:
private static Long convertDateFromUtcToCet(String publicationDate) {
    //"2015-07-31 01:14:05"

    SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss");
    //SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
    Date date = null;
    try {
        date = simpleDateFormat.parse(publicationDate);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
    calendar.setTime(date);
    Date givenDate = calendar.getTime();
    System.out.println("Original UTC date is: " + givenDate.toString());

    TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("CET");
    calendar.setTimeZone(timeZone);
    Date currentDate = calendar.getTime();
    System.out.println("CET date is: " + currentDate.toString());

    long milliseconds = calendar.getTimeInMillis();

    return milliseconds;
}

This prints:
Original UTC date is: Sat Jan 31 01:14:05 IST 2015
CET date is: Sat Jan 31 01:14:05 IST 2015

A: First of all, your pattern string is wrong. It's yyyy-MM-dd, not yyyy-mm-dd.
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");

To parse with a given time zone, set it with:
simpleDateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

A: Try using:
long ts = System.currentTimeMillis();
Date localTime = new Date(ts);
String format = "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format);

// Convert Local Time to UTC (Works Fine)
sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
Date gmtTime = new Date(sdf.format(localTime));
System.out.println("Local:" + localTime.toString() + "," + localTime.getTime() + " --> UTC time:"
        + gmtTime.toString() + "," + gmtTime.getTime());

// Convert UTC to Local Time
Date fromGmt = new Date(gmtTime.getTime() + TimeZone.getDefault().getOffset(localTime.getTime()));
System.out.println("UTC time:" + gmtTime.toString() + "," + gmtTime.getTime() + " --> Local:"
        + fromGmt.toString() + "-" + fromGmt.getTime());

Q: Does Visual C++ debug build identify heap corruption errors? I have been struggling to detect a memory corruption error in our product. The memory detection tools like valgrind only tell the problem at the time of the crash, not when the corruption actually occurs. I have seen while using debug builds that it will check the memory area before and after the block being freed, and show a debug assertion failure saying a heap corruption has occured. So can I rebuild my product in debug mode to capture the error right when it occurs? Will it also catch buffer overruns etc? I could not find any information on the internet about debug builds being targetted towards memory error detection.

A: You can use as well the 'Page Heap' available on every version of Windows.
You can use gflags that comes along to Debugging Tools for Windows to configure Full Page Heap for your application.
You can then run your application, even in retail mode, under the debugger. The debugger will stop once you encounter a buffer overrun or access to freed memory.
I like very much this tool, because it is built in the OS, an can even be activated on a customer site (gflags only sets registry keys and you can simply send these keys to your customer).
Some people are afraid when we mention (Debugging Tools for Windows). You can use Visual Studio to diagnose the problem. The only thing you need are the PDBs corresponding to your binaries (you can generate them even for release builds).

A: I am not sure about the debug builds, but for a nice overview of memory corruption tools you might look at http://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/ComparisonOfMemoryTools. It list Valgrind and what it should be able to check for you.

A: "C++" is not a compiler; vendors make their own according (more or less) to the standard specs.
I only have experience with Microsoft's, and I can tell you that it checks heap corruption by allocating "sentries" around each new or malloc block (in debug mode only, of course) and filling them with a special pattern (was 0xCD when I last used it), and then it checks the guards for every write around that location. If they changed, you'll get a run-time error saying the heap got corrupted.
By the way, buffer overflows are heap corruption.

Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood, former Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson and daytime TV host Jeremy Kyle are among the racehorse owners with horses entered in this year's Randox Health Grand National.
The celebrities have named their horses among the 112-strong list, which was unveiled on Thursday for the world's greatest steeplechase on April 6.
Guitarist Wood, 71, is a huge racing fan but has never had a horse run in the Grand National, which is limited to a maximum of 40 runners.
This year his 10-year-old gelding Sandymount Duke could give him a shot at winning the Aintree showpiece, worth a total of £1 million in prize money with more than £500,000 going to the winner.
Wood's horse, which runs in his red and white silks and has won 10 of its 30 races, is trained by Jessica Harrington in Ireland.
The pair have known each other for years and some of his artwork adorns the walls of her home in Moone, County Kildare.
Just getting Sandymount Duke to the Grand National would be seen as a huge achievement for Wood, as he bred the horse himself.
It is also hoped he would be able to attend the race, as the Rolling Stones US tour does not begin until April 20.
In 2015, he came Cheltenham to watch his horse finish third in a novices' hurdle, when he was pictured in the winners' enclosure alongside Harrington and jockey Barry Geraghty.
Sir Alex Ferguson is also hoping to have a runner in this year's National, as his nine-year-old Give Me A Copper could line up on the same day his beloved Manchester United play Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
The legendary manager has owned many horses and had a notable Grade One winner on Boxing Day last year when Clan Des Obeaux triumphed in the 32Red King George VI Chase at Kempton Park.
Daytime TV presenter Jeremy Kyle is also a part-owner of Give Me A Copper and he has another potential runner in the shape of Black Corton, a horse he owns with two other families.
Other notable owners include Michael O'Leary, the Chief Executive Officer of Ryanair, who currently has 14 entries for the race.
O'Leary, one of Ireland's wealthiest businessmen, won the 2018 Grand National with Tiger Roll and he is expected to defend his crown in the spring.
Former Barclays Capital CEO Rich Ricci has also nominated two of his horses, Some Neck and Livelovelaugh, for the marathon and they are two of 47 entries from Ireland.
Last year Hollywood superstar Dame Judi Dench had hoped her horse, As De Mee, would take part, only for an injury sustained in the weeks leading up to the race to force him to miss out.
In its history the Grand National has had its fair share of celebrity connections.
Actor Gregory Peck owned Different Class which ran in 1964, while comedian Freddie Starr owned the winner of the 1994 National, Miinnehoma. Former England rugby star Mike Tindall's horse Monbeg Dude finished third in 2015.


For years. the Democrats pushed the narrative that Trump colluded with the Russians in the 2016 elections. They pushed that narrative, of course, to get him impeached and removed from office but in doing so they wasted a lot of time, energy and resources that could have been devoted for more purposeful endeavors. Like, I don't know, prepping up a credible candidate for 2020, maybe?
Look at the political scene in the U.S. right now. The Russia collusion story is dead, there is no credible candidate for 2020 aside from Bernie Sanders whom the Democrats haven't fully embraced and it looks like they will ditch him as they did in 2020 and Trump is doing better than ever on foreign policy issues and the economy.

A feast of heritage on our doorstep
Bryan Manley-Green 13 September 2021
Photo by author. Haden Hall (right) and Haden House (left)
On the way out, we spoke to one of the museum staff. Credit where credit's due – the Museum Department of Sandwell Council deserve huge credit for undoubtedly working with an extremely tight budget, but coming up with great results.
Since its inception in 1994, one of our favourite times of the year has been Heritage Open Days, taking place each September throughout England. Having recently been very critical of Coventry's City of Culture offering, I will repeat that one of our favourite days out ever was a day spent in Coventry some years ago. Pre-pandemic, we had a great time with the undoubted highlight being a tour around the amazing Council House which is full of hidden secrets.
Heritage Open Days run until Sunday 19 September and have both online and in person events. Check the website for Haden House for opening times.
As we slowly but steadily come back out of our shell, we are still avoiding busy places and being very careful about going indoors. Our usual wanderlust has been well and truly dented. As lots of well-known venues throw their doors open for free for Heritage Open Days, it's easy to forget this can also be a chance to see places not usually open to the public – or places you forget to visit as they fall off your radar, even if they're just round the corner. This year one of the main themes is Edible England and many venues are highlighting our food history.
Hidden Delights
Living just on the Sandwell border of Birmingham, we're as guilty as most of overlooking some amazing spaces nearby. When having a look at how to benefit from Heritage Days, we were delighted to see Haden House and Haden Old Hall on the list of participating venues. It's only a few minutes' drive from us and a world away from the city scape and suburbia in which we live.
It was exactly what we were looking for and absolutely fascinating. We're now kicking ourselves for not going sooner, if only to sit in the grounds when restrictions allowed that to happen. The site actually incorporates two main buildings, Haden House, fully restored by Sandwell Council into its former Victorian glory and the much older Haden Old Hall next door along with both very well-manicured gardens along with a nature reserve, covering no less than fifty five acres. All bang slap in the middle of an urban jungle.
Our visit started with the House. Incorporating some special features for Heritage Open Days, there we found a very interesting history of the property's various owners. Sometimes, the finer details and real history are left to the imagination. For example, one of the owners of the House, Reverend Barrs apparently locked up his step-daughter in her room so she didn't get the chance to marry. Another, Mr Haden Best, has a very intriguing tale of never getting married, but "adopting" two young girls, with whom he often went travelling. It's unlikely the truth will ever be discovered, but the House certainly gives budding authors a huge array of ideas for stories they might like to write, loosely based on the history. On the first floor, there is also a temporary circus exhibition, part of a wider exhibition throughout Sandwell's museums. In keeping with the Edible England theme, some rooms in the House have been laid out as if a summer soirée was taking place.
On leaving the House, we then went to the Old Hall "next door". The two buildings are virtually semi-detached, but unlike the House, the Hall, an older building brought back from dereliction is operated by a team of volunteers who mainly rely on donations. Along with lots of furnishings of historical significance, the Hall also included an exhibition of crafts by local people made during lockdown and a "World According to Cradley Heath".
Children are very well catered for with lots of activity areas. We were very impressed with Covid precautions and felt safe. Plenty of hand gel was available and you were encouraged to think of others by checking in on the app and wearing a mask which were provided for those who had forgotten to bring one.
A shout out for the volunteers
On our visit, we were exceptionally lucky to bump into one of the volunteers, John Bellingham who, belying his 81 years, explained about the history of the area with a huge passion, also informing us of how the volunteers work and raise money. My overwhelming worry when I heard him speak was to ask if there was any succession planning in place for when he might not feel up to doing as much. Thankfully he told me that he'd written scores of notes for future generations – and you can even catch his enthusiasm in a Youtube video.

[Henry Thomas (1874–1930?) was an American country blues singer, songster and musician, who had a brief recording career in the late 1920s which has latterly been influential. He was often billed as "Ragtime Texas". His style is an early example of what later became known as Texas blues guitar.
Thomas was born into a family of freed slaves in Big Sandy, Texas in 1874. He began traveling the Texas railroad lines as a hobo after leaving home in his teens. He eventually earned his way as an itinerant songster, entertaining local populaces as well as railway employees.
He recorded 24 sides for Vocalion Records between 1927 and 1929, 23 of which were released. They include reels, gospel songs, minstrel songs, ragtime numbers, and blues. Besides guitar, Thomas accompanied himself on quills, a folk instrument fabricated from cane reeds whose sound is similar to the zampona played by musicians in Peru and Bolivia. His style of playing guitar was probably derived from banjo-picking styles.
Henry Thomas v, g, reed pipes.
Recorded in Chicago in July & October of 1927.
