What inspired you to pursue a career in the rubber industry?
I was not at all familiar with the rubber industry through college. While applying after graduation, I came across an open position in the Materials and Process Engineering Laboratory at Lord. Wanting to spend time in the lab, I accepted the position and my quest to learn the properties and processing of rubber began. As I met veterans in the industry, the same theme continued to emerge: "Rubber gets into your blood." After five years, I can understand why that and similar comments are made. There is intrigue and a mystery about rubber that draws a person into this discipline where I hope to stay for the remainder of my career.
What accomplishment are you most proud of so far and why?
The release of the first compound I developed was an incredibly proud moment for me. Following the project from inception to release in production, I rode a roller coaster of highs and lows with great advancements and setbacks in the development process. Through it all, I developed a compound that surpassed the original targets.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
I would like to attain greater depth and breadth of knowledge in rubber compounding and to make a positive impact for my company and for the industry. I want to expand STEM programs to reach more students and help inspire the next generation of chemists, engineers and mathematicians, particularly for the rubber industry.

London house prices have come off the boil, say analysts
Survey by Rightmove shows that asking prices in the capital fell by 0.5%, suggesting they may have hit an 'affordability cap'

The debate about house prices is reignited on Mondayamid claims by Britain's biggest property website that prices for homes have come "off the boil".
For the first time this year, the asking prices posted on the Rightmove website for homes in London fell by 0.5% in early June, compared with the month before, in part due to a rapid increase in sellers rushing to cash in on rising prices.
In some areas, especially in London, prices may have hit an "affordability cap", the website said.
Rightmove added that asking prices have "come off the boil" and prices in England and Wales are at a virtual standstill, rising by just 0.1% – or £272 – on the previous month.
On a year-on-year basis, though, prices in London are up 14.5% on a year ago, even after the slide in asking prices put on sale by estate agents compared to the month before.
Even so Rightmove said the findings will come as a relief to the Bank of England ahead of the meeting of its policymaking body, the financial policy committee (FPC) this week.
The rapid rise in house prices has been the subject of much debate, particularly since last week when chancellor George Osborne said he would give the FPC new powers to impose caps on the amounts banks and other lenders hand out for home loans compared with customers' incomes or the value of their property.
While the FPC is not expected to use such powers immediately, the chancellor announced his intention to give the Bank of England additional scope over lending, just as the governor Mark Carney was warning interest rates could begin to rise from their historic low of 0.5% earlier than expected.
Charlie Bean, the retiring deputy governor of the Bank, told the Sunday Times, that the first rate rise in five years would be a "symbolic step because it will be an indication that we are on the road back to normality".
He added: "Frankly, having interest rates at an emergency level for a very long time is not a situation one wants to be in." According to the Nationwide building society, house prices have reached their pre-crisis peak, with London driving the boom with annual price rises of 18%.
Rightmovemeasures the asking price of houses, while Nationwide bases its findings on mortgages it approves each month.
"The London market powers the rest of the UK but is starting to run out of steam, said Miles Shipside, Rightmove's director and housing market analyst.
"While the legacy of rises in central London continues to ripple out to its better-value commuter belt, fuelling price increases in all southern regions, London itself is now marking time. It's an example to the rest of the country of what happens when affordability and common sense get stretched too far," he said.
The housing market usually dips in June and the summer months but Rightmove said this month's slide was below the 0.6% average over the past 10 years.
"Some sellers will be looking to cash in and possibly get a lot more house for their money further out, but they may have missed the peak in the rush to realise their gains as parts of London appear to have hit the upper limit price buffer.
"This rise in the number of sellers has also been seen in the north and, when combined with this month's price falls in five out of six northern regions, should put paid to some of the ill-informed national bubble talk," said Shipside.
He pointed to the introduction of the mortgage market review, which forces lenders to scrutinise borrowers' income and outgoings and check they can still afford repayments if interest rates started to rise.
"It is certainly causing a major headache for some estate agents with U-turns by lenders meaning sales falling through and heartache for buyers and sellers who thought they had a deal agreed," Shipside said.

After ten years of hotly contested debates centering on state western land claims in the Continental Congress and United States in Congress Assembled (USCA), the time was right for the approval of an ordinance for governing the Northwest Territory. The treasury was utterly empty, the United States had defaulted on its loan payments to France opting to pay Holland or risk impressments of its ships.
The States had relinquish their rights to a "test tract" of land and the USCA's Western Land Ordinance of 1785 was passed on May 20, 1785.
Exhibited is the Pennsylvania Packett and Daily Advertiser, Monday, May 30, 1785, full printing of the Western Land Ordinance dated May 20, 1785 and signed in type by Richard Henry Lee as President of the United States in Congress Assembled and Charles Thomson as Secretary of the United States in Congress Assembled.
The Western Land Ordinance put the earlier 1784 Land Ordinance into operation by providing a mechanism for selling and settling the land. The federal surveyors divided the land into carefully planned individual square townships. Each side of the township square was to be six miles in length containing thirty-six square miles of territory. The township was then divided into one-square mile sections, with each section receiving its own number and encompassing 640 acres. Section sixteen was to be set aside for a public school and sections eight, eleven, twenty-six, and twenty-nine were to provide veterans of the American Revolution with land as payment for their service during the war thus greatly reducing the war debt. The government would then sell the remaining sections at public auction at the minimum bid of 640 dollars per section or one dollar for an acre of land in each section.
The Federal Government under the Western Land Ordinance of 1785 lacked the resources to manage the newly surveyed Northwest Territorial lands because Native Americans refused to relinquish a large percentage of the plotted land and most of the territory remained too dangerous for settlement. This situation required either troops to eject the Native Americans or capital to purchase their land "fairly," insuring the peaceful sale and settlement. Additionally, the small amount of federal land that was not in dispute by the Native Americans was enthusiastically being occupied by western settlers who had no faith in or respect for the USCA operation as a federal authority. The settlers just claimed the land as squatters and the USCA was unable to muster the capital for magistrates let alone troops to enforce the $1.00 per acre fee required for a clear federal land title. With the States no longer in control of the lands and no federal magistrates or troops to enforce the laws, a tide of western squatters flowed into the Northwest Territory. Tract sales were meager and the plan of revenue flowing from the Northwest Territorial land sales became another liability.
By 1787 the USCA was in the right frame of mind to consider plans for bringing the government lands into market because the Ohio Company was willing to purchase millions of acres for private development. Additionally, earlier in the month Delegate James Monroe's committee on the western government proposed the replacement of Jefferson's 1784 eleven states' plan with a system that would result in no less than three or more than five states.
Earlier that year, the Ohio Company replaced Parsons with the Reverend Manasseh Cutler aligned himself with William Duer,  secretary of the U.S. Treasury Board. Pressures on the U.S. Treasury were dire and Duer and his associates formed a steadfast group of New York speculators determined for the settlement of the Northwest Territory. It was the economic strain added to the influence of Duer and Massachusetts Delegate Nathan Dane  that persuaded President Arthur St. Clair and key delegates to permit Dr. Cutler  to work directly with the committee assigned the task of drafting the Northwest Ordinance.
The Committee consisted of only Virginia Delegate Edward Carrington  and Massachusetts Delegate Nathan Dane because committee members James Madison and Rufus King were in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Convention. In the afternoon, the USCA appointed three new members, former President Richard Henry Lee, John Kean,  and Melancton Smith  to replace the three absent delegates. The new delegates outnumbered the old delegates who had been working on the measure for over a year. Additionally, Carrington was elected as the Chairman and they with Ohio Company Agent Cutler took up James Monroe's plan. This committee did not merely revise the ordinances of 1784 and 1785; they began to draft an entirely new plan for the territory northwest of the Ohio government.
The committee, animated by the presence of Lee, went to its work in good earnest. Dane, who had been actively employed on the colonial government for more than a year, and for about ten months, had served on the committee which had the subject in charge, acted the part of scribe. Like Smith and Lee, he had opposed a federal convention for the reform of the constitution. The three agreed very well together, though Dane secretly harbored the wish of finding in the West an ally for " eastern politics." They were pressed for time, and found it necessary finally to adopt the best system they could get. At first they took up the plan reported by Monroe; but new ideas were started; and they worked with so much industry that on the eleventh of July their report of an ordinance for the government of the territory of the United States north-west of the river Ohio was read for its first time in congress.
Cutler added an educational provision which was revised by the committee and became part of Article III. Other revisions were made after input from the President. Dr. Cutler, satisfied with the changes, did not remain in New York for the vote in Congress and left for Philadelphia that evening.
The ordinance required seven votes to pass and the States were divided four South and five North. The reading by Chairman Nathan Dane on the 11th did not include the provision abolishing slavery. The Chairman who has been credited, along with Cutler, with the primary drafting of the ordinance thought it best to leave the anti-slavery language out. He and other anti-slavery delegates believed this would enable the southern delegations to focus more clearly on the favorable attributes of the ordinance. On July 12th, the ordinance was read again by Dane but this time the anti-slavery provision was added.
In a strange twist of events on July 12th, as the all-important Northwest Ordinance bill was being debated on the floor, President St. Clair decided to take a three-day leave of Congress along with what surely would have been a yes vote from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Eight states remained, evenly divided and neither the President nor the Ohio Company was present to effectuate the required seven state passage of the ordinance. On July 13th to Dane's surprise, the ordinance passed unanimously.
On the 13th of July he [President Arthur St. Clair] did not preside. He had gone the day before to New Jersey to visit a friend, and he did not return until two days after the passage of the Ordinance. Only eight States out of thirteen voted for that instrument: Pennsylvania was one of the five not represented. When St. Clair returned to New York, he was accompanied by General Irvine, one of his colleagues. In a letter of the latter, written 19th July, and addressed to Colonel Richard Butler, he refers to the Ordinance which had passed two days before his return, and adds: "Who the officers of that government will be I have not heard, nor inquired."
If the name of General St. Clair had been canvassed, or, if he had had any understanding with the New England people, as is alleged, it would have been known to a friend as intimate as General Irvine. But, furthermore, we have his own testimony, which is of the best, to sustain us. In a letter to the Hon. William B. Giles, he says that the office of Governor was, in a great measure, forced upon him by his friends, who thought there would be in it means to compensate for his sacrifices to his country, and provide for his large family. But it proved otherwise. He had "neither the taste nor genius for speculation in land; nor did he consider it consistent with the office." He declared the accepting of the Governorship the most imprudent act of his life, for he was then in possession of a lucrative office, and his influence at home was very considerable. But he had the "laudable ambition of becoming the father of a country, and laying the foundation for the happiness of millions then unborn."

We have been much engaged in business for ten or twelve days past for a part of which we have had eight States. There appears to be a disposition to do business, and the arrival of R. H. Lee is of considerable importance. I think his character serves, at least in some degree, to check the effects of the feeble habits and lax modes of thinking in some of his Countrymen. We have been employed about several objects; the principal ones of which have been the Government enclosed and the Ohio purchase.
The former you will see is completed and the latter will be probably completed tomorrow. We tried one day to patch up M; Systems of W. Government; Started new Ideas and committed the whole to Carrington, Dane, R. H. Lee, Smith, & Kean; we met several times and at last agreed on some principles at least Lee, Smith & myself. We found ourselves rather pressed, the Ohio Company appeared to purchase a large tract of the federal lands, about 6 or 7 million of acres; and we wanted to abolish the old system and get a better one for the Government of the Country; and we finally found it necessary to adopt the best system we could get.
All agreed finally to the enclosed except A. Yates; he appeared in this Case, as in most other not to understand the subject at all. I think the number of free Inhabitants 60,000, which are requisite for the admission of a new State into the Confederacy is too small, but having divided the whole territory into three States, this number appeared to me to be less important, each State in the Common Course of things must become important soon after it shall have that number of Inhabitants. The eastern State of the three will probably be the first, and more important than the rest; and, will no doubt be settled chiefly by Eastern people, and there is, I think, full an equal chance of it adopting Eastern politics. When I drew the ordinance which passed (in a few words excepted) as I originally formed it, I had no idea the States would agree to the sixth Article prohibiting Slavery; as only Massa. of the Eastern States was present; and therefore omitted it in the draft; but finding the House favorably disposed on this subject, after we had completed the other parts I moved the article; which was agreed to without opposition.
We are in a fair way to fix the terms of our Ohio sale, &c. We have been upon it three days steadily. The magnitude of the purchase makes us very cautious about the terms of it, and the security necessary to ensure the performance of them.
The negotiations with the Ohio Company and their New York Associates syndicate later known as the Scioto Company was fruitful.
Appointed superintendent of the Ohio Company, Putnam arrived at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers on 7 April 1788 with a company of men to found a settlement, subsequently named Marietta. While the work of surveying, clearing, and building went on, the company's directors attempted to raise the remaining $500,000 owed to the government. In October 1789 Richard Platt, a New York merchant and the company's treasurer, reported that shareholders were almost $300,000 in arrears for their subscriptions of company stock, but had all of them paid up, the company still would have been short of the money that was owed. In addition, trouble with the Indians on the company's land meant the hiring of guards, the building of fortifications, and the curtailing of settlements. In 1790 Congress accepted a plan proposed by Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury, to fund all outstanding federal and state debts, a plan that effectively raised the depreciated currency to par value.
[NORTHWEST ORDINANCE] – Exhibited here is the full printing of "An ordinance for the government of the territory of the United States, north west of the river Ohio". The American Museum, or Repository of Ancient and Modern Fugitive Pieces, &c. prose and poetical. For August, 1787. Volume II., Number II. Philadelphia: Mathew Carey, 1787., This is the first US Magazine printing of the ordinance appearing in print only two weeks after it was enacted.
The "Northwest Ordinance", based on an area originally laid out in 1784 by USCA Delegate Thomas Jefferson in his "Report of Government for Western Lands", concerned the land north of the Ohio River, and east of the Mississippi (now the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin). It was one of the most significant achievements of the United States in Congress Assembled.
In its six "Articles of Compact", largely written by Rufus King and Nathan Dane of Massachusetts, the ordinance contained provisions for the advancement of education through land grants, the maintenance of civil liberties and the exclusion of slavery. It provided a legal mechanism for citizens to formulate the state of Ohio in 1803 thus accelerating the westward expansion of the United States. The ordinance, in fact established the laws for the admission of all US states since 1787.
Also in this August 1787 "the American Museum" are published "Resolutions of congress for the establishment of a new money of account for the united States."; "An ordinance for the establishment of the mint of the united States of America; and for regulating the value and alloy of coin"; and a number of letters by scientist and politician Hugh Williamson (1735-1819) as "Sylvius", an ".effective analysis of the domestic economy, the federal debt, the problems of paper currency, the necessity for industrial development, and the need for an excise tax" - Loan Courtesy of KlosYavneh Academy Collection.
We are accustomed to praise lawgivers of antiquity ... but I doubt whether one single law of any lawgiver, ancient or modern, has produced the effects of more distinct, marked, and lasting character than the Ordinance of 1787.
Specifically, this ordinance was an exceptional piece of legislation because Article Five permitted the people North and West of the Ohio River to settle their land, form their own territorial government, and take their place as a full-fledged state, equal to the original 13. The Northwest Ordinance's Article Five became the principle that enabled the United States rapid westward expansion, which ended with the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii as our 49th and 50th states. This ordinance also guaranteed that inhabitants of the Territory would have the same rights and privileges that citizens of the original 13 States enjoyed.
Equally important, Article Six provided that slavery and involuntary servitude were outlawed in the Northwest Territory.
Article Six was the first federal law that finally gave some merit to "... all men are created equal..." written 11 years earlier in the Declaration of Independence.
The Northwest Ordinance required Enlow to free Sarah and also forbade involuntary servitude. Whether's Sarah agreeing to "voluntarily bound herself to serve me and during the term of four years" as a condition of her freedom was legally enforceable is a matter of debate.
Religion, Morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, Schools and the means of education shall be forever encouraged.
This measure essentially legislated that religion and morality were indispensable to good government but it was not carried out by the federal government because the United States confederation was financially insolvent in 1788 and faded away in 1789. A second constitution emerged from Philadelphia that laid the legal foundation that Jefferson would refer to as "thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."  Several western state governments adopted similar legislation to Article Three and provided financial assistance to the churches up and until the early 19th Century.
On August 7th, 1789, under the Constitution of 1787, An Act to provide for the Government of the Territory Northwest of the river Ohio passed by Congress was signed into law by President George Washington. This bill was the reenactment of the Northwest Ordinance passed by the USCA in July 1787 so that "… may continue to have full effect, it is requisite that certain provisions should be made, so as to adapt the same to the present Constitution of the United States." Former USCA Governor Arthur St. Clair was re-appointed by President Washington and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
The law promising "The utmost good faith shall always be observed towards the Indians; their lands and property shall never be taken from them without their consent; and, in their property, rights, and liberty, they shall never be invaded or disturbed...", despite the Northwest Ordinance being re-enacted, were rendered meaningless when the US political situation changed with the release of Georgia's western lands and the acquisition of Louisiana territory in 1803. Native American sovereignty and the policy of peacefully mixing Indians and white settlements drastically change to relocating the eastern Indian tribes to the lands west of the Mississippi.
Additionally, Georgia agreed to cede its western lands reaching to the Mississippi only after extracting a promise from federal officials to "peaceably obtain, on reasonable terms," the Indian title to all land within new Georgia state borders. In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson saw an opportunity to both appease Georgia and legitimize the controversial Louisiana Purchase by drafting a constitutional amendment authorizing Congress to exchange lands in the west for any and/or all eastern lands occupied by Indians. This constitutional amendment was never submitted because Congress authorized President Jefferson to administer an Indian removal and land exchange program that required Native Americans to sign relocation treaties that included allegiance to the United States.
As Euro-Americans poured into the United States, the new citizens sought to move westward claiming Indian land for settlement all the way to the Pacific Ocean. The hundreds of sovereign Native American nations, including the relocated eastern tribes, refused to willingly or voluntarily give up their lands west of the Mississippi. Consequently, the United States government concocted and executed hundreds of one sided treaties with Indian nations that were legitimized by a series of US Supreme Court Decisions. Additionally, Congress passed hundreds of laws designed to redefine relations between the federal government and Indian nations.
Article III of the Northwest Ordinance, within 40 years after its passage, was rendered impotent.
Congress proceeded to the election of a governor for the western territory pursuant to the Ordinance of the 13th of July last and the ballots being taken the honorable Arthur St Clair was elected. Congress proceeded to the election of a secretary pursuant to the said Ordinance and the ballots being taken Mr. Winthrop Sargent was elected.
On October 21st, the USCA approved the sale of over one million acres to the Ohio Company. Governor St. Clair was now responsible for governing, settling and subdividing the territory of what are now Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota whose lands, at that time, comprised more than one half the geographic area of the United States of America.
The President observing, in an address lately delivered by you to the convention held at Chillicothe, an intemperance and in decorum of language toward the Legislature of the United States, and a disorganizing spirit and tendency of very evil example, and grossly violating the rules of conduct enjoined by your public station, determine that your commission of Governor of the Northwestern Territory shall cease on the receipt of this notification.
On February 19, 1803, the Republican United States Congress approved Ohio's constitution and admitted Ohio as the 17th state. Thomas Worthington was hailed as the hero of the Ohio Constitutional Convention and usurped forever the moniker: "The Father of Ohio's Statehood" its founder. Arthur St. Clair returned to his farm in Western Pennsylvania and resided there for 15 years with his wife Phoebe as a private citizen.
… the venerable patriot, in his eighty- fourth year, undertook to go to Youngstown, three miles distant, for flour and other necessaries. He bade good-bye to his Louisa and started off with his pony and wagon, in good spirits. The authorities had changed the Stage road so that it passed along the Loyalhauna Creek, several miles north of the St. Clair residence, and the route to Youngstown was rough and dangerous. Pony and wagon moved safely along until within a mile of the village, when a wheel falling into a rut, the wagon was upset, and the aged General thrown with great force upon the rocky road. In the course of the day he was discovered lying where he had fallen, insensible, and the pony standing quietly at a short distance, awaiting the command of his old master — faithful to the last. He was carried tenderly back to the house, but neither medical skill nor the tender care of loved ones could restore him, and, on the thirty-first, Death came with his blessed message of peace forevermore.
"... My Heart Is not yet so cold as to be insensible to female Praife (Praise) --- it conveyed a Balm to my wounded spirit. Wounded not by the loss of fortune and the need of pecuniary aid, but by confine obloquy and contumely whom I thought (and now since I have their approbation I say it boldly), I thought that I had least merited thanks, for to say nothing of my military services which they have so kindly eulogized. I had, in a great meafsive (massive) therefore at my own expense, raised up for the United States in fifteen years a colony from thirty men to upwards of sixty thousand -- amalgamation the most heterogeneous mafs -- Mafs of population --- carried Laws, Religion, Mounts and Manner to the extreme limits of New Territory --- made the people happy and laid a foundation for the continuance of the happinefs to millions yet unknown and in which every faculty of mind and Body has been overwhelmingly employed. ... "
Several months later the legislature of Pennsylvania finally granted St. Clair an annuity of $8400, and shortly before his death he received from congress $2,000 in discharge of his claims, and a pension of $60 a month.

Доказові обчислення — цілеспрямовані комп'ютерні обчислення, комбіновані з аналітичними дослідженнями, які призводять до строгого встановлення нових фактів і доведення теорем.

Достовірні обчислення
Одним із часто застосовуваних методів доказових обчислень є достовірні обчислення. Під достовірними обчисленнями мають на увазі чисельні методи з автоматичною верифікацією точності одержуваних результатів. Досить часто доказові обчислення будуються на основі інтервального аналізу, де замість дійсних чисел розглядаються інтервали, які визначають точність величин. Інтервальний аналіз широко застосовується для обчислень з гарантованою точністю в умовах машинної арифметики.

Приклади

У теорії чисел
Завдяки тому, що теорія чисел багато в чому оперує цілими числами, використання доказових обчислень у теорії чисел виявляється дуже плідним.

 Стверджується, що число Мерсенна  є простим. Перевірити цей факт теоретично може людина, але практично — лише з використанням обчислювальної техніки.
 Л. Ейлер висунув гіпотезу, що рівняння  не має розв'язків у цілих додатних числах. Проте пізніше було показано, що існує принаймні один розв'язок:

 , , , , .

Причому цей розв'язок знайдено шляхом перебору на комп'ютері.

У теорії графів
Одним з найвідоміших успішних застосувань доказових обчислень у теорії графів є розв'язання проблеми чотирьох фарб. Цю відому задачу поставлено 1852 року і сформульовано так: «з'ясувати, чи можна кожну розташовану на сфері карту розфарбувати чотирма фарбами так, щоб будь-які дві ділянки, які мають спільну межу, були розфарбовані в різні кольори». 1976 року  і  за допомогою доказових обчислень показали, що так можна розфарбувати будь-яку карту.

У гідродинаміці
Застосуванням доказових обчислень у математичних задачах гідродинаміки систематично займалися в Інституті прикладної математики ім. М. В. Келдиша РАНпід керівництвом . Прикладом є така теорема, отримана з допомогою доказових обчислень:

Теорема. При  і  спектральна задача Орра — Зоммерфельда має власне значення, яке лежить у півплощині . Отже, в лінеаризованій постановці за цих параметрів течія Пуазейля нестійка.

For many years, the department of automation and control has been dealing with issues related to digitalization. The aim of the research, which is always very closely oriented to industrial requirements, is the consistent validation of research results under real conditions. The department is organized in three groups: Robotics, IoT in Automation and Interdisciplinary Information Technology.
Robotics deals with industrial robotics in the production environment. These include collaborative robotics and lightweight robots for assembly, handling and other fields of application. New applications such as machining by industrial robots are also part of current research and industrial activities. Other topics include the development of new control architectures using edge computing in robot-supported production plants, model-supported process planning methods and standards for various communication technologies.
The group of IoT in Automation deals with horizontal and vertical networking within automation technology. Vision is an Internet of Things (IoT) in the context of production engineering.
The group of interdisciplinary information technology deals with the cross-domain transfer of technologies and concepts of networked production automation. Current projects focus on the automation of biotechnological processes and the transfer to the Forest and Wood Cluster.

"This week you will be secretly following Björn", the teachers proposed. Make sure he never finds out you're investigating him. Try to find out what his strengths are. At the end of this week, reveal to him that you were observing him and give him a few strength-cards." Yakov (17) and Björn (16) are taking a sabbatical year at the Arbeidsinstituttet Buskerud in Norway. Is it a special school?

This one was a short visit to a nearby location, unfortunately I couldn't get out with my usual partners in exploring so decided to have a venture out by myself to this one.
Until the 90's this was a depot originally for Trams and then latterly for buses, this is where all the maintenance was carried out for the Edinburgh Corporation Transport Department and Lothian Region Transport.
Some pictures of how it used to look can be seen here.
There has been various discussions on what the future plans of the site will be, ranging from a housing development to a site for a large hotel but none of these have materialised with the place seemingly stuck in limbo.

A view of the ladder leading up to a beam which I assume was used to get to the top of the trams and buses.
On getting inside it suddenly became sunny, here's a pic of the sunshine through the little remaining glass.
A view of the circular windows inside, one with and without glass.
Some burnt equipment from inside.
The place was rife with graffiti.
Final shot of the sunshine coming down to the main entrance.
The place was pretty much destroyed with several of the buildings already demolished but it seemed like decent place for a short afternoon explore.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Might Be Getting New Royal Titles
By Editorial Staff April 18, 2018
meghan markle,
Prince Harry,
Just as Prince William and Kate Middleton became the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after their marriage, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will receive new royal titles from Queen Elizabeth after tying the knot on May 19. There are only a handful of dukedoms for the queen to choose from, with some thought to have been ruled out due to past notorieties. Until now, it's been widely assumed that Harry and Meghan will become the Duke and Duchess of Sussex; it's an available peerage that doesn't have any negative connotations.
However, it's now rumored that the queen might revive the extinct dukedom of Connaught, which is named after Connacht in Ireland. This dukedom was created by Queen Victoria in 1874 for her third son, Arthur, and has been out of use since 1943, after the death of the second duke. Coincidentally (or perhaps not), the first duke also held the title of Earl of Sussex.
"It is not beyond the realms of possibility that, almost as a nod and a courtesy to Ireland and the newfound 'détente' that has developed between both countries, the English foreign office would advise the queen that this is a good time to resurrect the title," royal commentator, Noel Cunningham, told the Irish Independent. The title, however, would certainly be a more contentious choice than that of Sussex, due to the original area of the dukedom being outside the UK and thus outside of the royals' sphere.
"I would suggest that one of the highlights of the queen's reign was her visit to Ireland, and there is no doubt it would be seen symbolically as a very important continuation of the close relations that now exist. But we must remember that the Republic of Ireland has existed [for decades], and it just simply isn't conceivable that it could happen without being preceded by substantial debate in Ireland," explained royal commentator, Richard Fitzwilliams, in the Irish Independent. We can't wait to learn Meghan and Harry's titles next month!
Can't get enough of the royal couple? Check out the video below.

How to bet these new head coaches and their team's NFL pointspreads
Handicapping Tips
Three great value "Yes/No" NFL playoff prop plays
Pull the trigger on these NFL league-leading live long shot prop bets
Published by Marcelo Caracas at July 24, 2018
The NFL is an unforgiving league for head coaches. If a coach doesn't show instant results or at least the promise of success in the near future, front offices are swift to swing the ax. There are seven new head coaches in the NFL this season, some of which are fresh to the head coaching ranks while others have a history of wearing the headset.
We look at a few of these coaches and handicapping tips, their teams, and their chances to cash in for football bettors against the NFL pointspreads this fall:
Mike Vrabel, Tennessee Titans
Vrabel is a first-time head coach, earning the Titans big job after serving as a line backers coach and defensive coordinator in Houston. But let's not also pass over the fact that he's a soft connection to the Bill Belichick coaching tree, having played under "The Hoodie" in New England from 2001 to 2008. He'll bring a lot of good habits to a team that is on the brink of being great, but is in desperate need of direction.
The Titans defense will be better under Vrabel but their ability to cover the spread lies with an inconsistent offense, which is hoping new coordinator Matt LaFleur can work the same magic he did with the L.A. Rams last season. The talent is there – on the field and on the sideline – for Tennessee to be a solid ATS play each Sunday.
Steve Wilks, Arizona Cardinals
Wilks inherits the remains of one of the NFC's best teams over the past decade. Arizona is falling fast, with troubles on the field and off. General manager Steve Keim got busted for DUI and president (also son of the owner) Michael Bidwill has been criticized for his take on the whole anthem mess. On the field, the Cardinals' two most important players – QB Sam Bradford and RB David Johnson – are coming off injuries in 2017 and star WR Larry Fitzgerald is well in the twilight of his career.
Wilks is a defensive-first coach, coming over from Carolina, where he helped make the Panthers one of the top stop units in the league. Arizona was a solid group on defense last season, allowing only 311 yards per game (8th best in the NFL). That's a big reason why the Cards finished 6-10 Over/Under in 2017. With those questions on offense (and a playbook that will rely heavily on the run) – and rookie QB Josh Rosen as the Plan B under center – Arizona is once again a good Under play but can't be trusted to cover the spread.
Jon Gruden, Oakland Raiders
Raiders bettors should prepare for plenty of "Spider 2 Y Banana" in the playbook, with Gruden making the move back to the sideline after spending time in the Monday Night Football booth. Oakland is coming off a massively disappointing season in 2017 after contending for the AFC title in 2016. The offense was a toothless joke and the defense only went as far as Khalil Mack could carry it. The Silver and Black has bettors in the red, posting a costly 5-9-2 ATS mark last year.
With Gruden comes a lot of pomp and circumstance, but he hasn't coached a team since his final year with Tampa Bay back in 2008. That's a decade in between gigs and calling out plays on TV is whole lot different than solving those riddles on the sideline. The NFL has changed dramatically in that time, and as we've seen with coaches making victory laps in the past – Ditka, Shanahan, Smith, even Vince Lombardi – it doesn't always meet expectations.
Oakland's offense looks good on paper: Derek Carr, Jordy Nelson, Amari Cooper, Martavis Bryant, Marshawn Lynch, and a great offensive line. But they're working with a new West Coast playbook and will take time to find their stride. The defense is nothing special – outside of Mack – and that could be reason enough to steer clear of Oakland's spreads, at least in the first few weeks of the schedule.

Networking / How Smart Devices Can Rewire Business Processes
How Smart Devices Can Rewire Business Processes
By Samuel Greengard Print
Smart devices are at the core of a growing universe of machines, sensors and systems that redefine business processes. But success requires vision and planning.
Over the past few years, there's been no shortage of discussion—some might call it hype—about the Internet of things (IoT). The ability to connect people, devices and data is increasingly a key to cutting costs, improving business processes, and introducing entirely new ways to interact with customers, employees and business partners.
"There is a growing recognition that the Internet of things will have a huge impact on business," says Craig McNeil, global IoT practice lead, Accenture Digital–Mobility. "But there are huge questions about how to navigate it."
The truth is that key components of the IoT already exist: smartphones and tablets. These smart devices—and the anywhere, anytime connectivity they deliver—play a growing role in defining and redefining how communication, collaboration and transactions take place, as well as how data flows into and out of an organization.
Simply put: Smart devices are at the center of a growing universe of machines, sensors and systems that radically rewire and redefine business processes and practices. As McNeil puts it: "It's not only a way to cut costs and achieve greater efficiency. If it's used to maximum advantage it can lead to entirely new capabilities and new revenue streams."
What makes smart devices so powerful is the array of technologies, protocols and standards they support. The ability to connect communications platforms such as WiFi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC) and cellular networks is transformative. The ability to use the sensors on a device and from external sources introduces exponentially greater gains.
As Michael Liard, an independent analyst and consultant, explains: "Advancing technology, better standards and lower cost points are revolutionizing and redefining business."
Room for a View
The concept is at the center of an emerging digital business strategy for the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel. The 43-story Art Deco-style hotel, located adjacent to Times Square in New York City, has 1,083 rooms, 64 suites and two major restaurants.
"The reality is that almost every person who steps into the hotel has a smartphone in hand, and they are using it on a regular basis," points out John Yazbeck, director of sales and marketing. "Smartphones impact just about everything that takes place, from check-in to check-out. It's important to find ways to enhance the guest experience and make things as simple and pleasurable as possible."
The hotel has introduced a number of features that tap into the power of smart devices. Using a technology platform from Guest Driven, it now offers an app that supports mobile check-in and check-out, room upgrades, requests for things such as blankets and pillows, and in-app purchasing from shops and restaurants.
In addition, the Wyndham New Yorker is turning to beacons in public spaces so that it can send notifications and messages to guests. This makes it possible to inform guests of the historic property that they can visit a museum below the lobby. It is also used to offer promotions and coupons for the Wyndham's shops and restaurants, as well as outside retailers that partner with the hotel.
In the future, the hotel may deploy smartphone-managed lock systems. Also, it will use data and analytics to better understand guests' needs so it can deliver a more personalized experience.
Beyond the App
To be sure, smart devices introduce an array of possibilities. By tapping into geolocation capabilities, accelerometers, cameras, microphones, and various other chips and sensors, it's possible to deploy new and useful features that wouldn't have been imaginable only a few years ago. Services and apps such as OpenTable, Lyft, MyFitnessPal, RedLaser, ParkNav and Shazam demonstrate some of the possibilities.
Other apps and tools allow consumers to scan and deposit checks, transfer money to friends or colleagues instantly, order food and beverages for pickup, and view inventory and product availability in real time. In the B2B space, many businesses are introducing equally innovative features that redefine internal processes and extend into the supply chain.
Accenture's McNeil suggests that business and IT leaders begin assessing the situation, while looking for new and creative ways to combine technologies that are embedded in smart devices with crowdsourcing, social media, RFID, beacons and more. It's critical to look for opportunities to test, pilot and deploy IoT technologies.
The key, he says, is to understand how mobile technology and the IoT can serve as the catalyst for new revenue streams and greater value to customers and the business. In the end, this may require new skills, including hiring data scientists and analysts. It also may require new partnerships and alliances, as well as APIs that connect apps and data from different sources.
"There are incredible benefits possible through the IoT and smart devices," McNeil concludes. "It's important to begin exploring how to maximize and monetize the space."

Regis, could you tell me exactly how you found the original file time stamps on the Details file once its extracted from the .BUP? I have extracted the 2 file from the BUP, but the time stamps on the files is still from the moment the infected file was quarantined. Is the orginal time stamp inside the text of the Details file? I have opened the BUP in McAfee FileInsight, but I can't understand the contents of the Details file (its all code to me). Can you help?
UPDATE: I was able to convert the Details file to Details.txt using the xor.exe utility, but when viewing Details.txt the CreationDay/Month/Year/Hours/Minutes= values are all the same as when the BUP was created (when the infected file was quarantined). Did you get different results?
Like you, we would find the original file time stamp to be VERY helpful in blocking potential malware sources.
I have wrote a nice extraction tool for your use,its gui based c# ( ull need the dot net 4 framework ).
just choose the bup file and a destination folder and the tool will extract the tow files , check the details file for the right name and extension.
and xor the malware to the new folder.
you can Download the Tool HERE .
check out my BLOG for updates on security stuff and more tools (some of the stuff is in hebrew so use google translate-).


As you can see, t-shirt and overalls are back, so it must be Spring.
E! was busy (no picture, sorry, only text; oh, don't complain, you can read a few lines) in the kitchen today, cleaning the floor so we can reseal it, and start moving appliances in.
And we have been freeloading again. Right now, the power company has tree pruning teams work the streets, pruning trees to avoid potential power outages from fallen tree limbs. Anyhow, they produce a lot of wood chips, which they are more than willing to give away. Well, so far we got three truck loads full, which we'll use for our garden, and whatever else we may come up with.

As I make my way towards Texas for the Brene Brown Dare to Lead certification next week, it's been a fascinating and insightful experience traveling in the United States. A country so vast and beautiful, the heartbeat of Western democracy – and seemingly so much in struggle.
Speaking to cab drivers, passengers in ferries, restaurant staff across three states, friends and colleagues – one thing stands out. The Motivation tap is open and leaking energy, with many people feeling uncertain, disillusioned, frustrated, let down and powerless. The changing state of politics of the day is affecting many people profoundly. This is only one country of many experiencing similar emotions.
Motivation leakage is evident and it's a sure sign of resistance.
Countries are experiencing change and deeply divided by polarizing and divisive leadership, where…
'I' leadership is replacing 'WE' leadership
More 'power over' than 'power with'
Naming a shared common vision seems illusive
Connection, Communication and Clarity are challenged
Christine Comaford succinctly describes the 4 reasons people lose Motivation and it's worth looking at how they're playing out at the moment.
A values mismatch: What many people value is no longer aligned with the leadership decisions being made
Lack of self-efficacy: It's going to take enormous energy and commitment to re-connect with what people have in common. To find a shared path through a quagmire of division; and many people are losing confidence in their ability to do this, or even knowing where to start
Disruptive emotions: What specifically are people feeling? The range of emotion and the extent of the resistance on all sides can only be bridged through giving people the chance to talk about their feelings at every opportunity across all layers of community
Attribution errors: Something went wrong and people don't know why! The constant search for meaning is exhausting.
So what can be done to plug the Motivation leakage?
People feel their way through change ~ at no level is it a logical or rational process. There has never been a greater need for more courage and curiosity.
People may not have any political clout, yet they can live each day making positive choices within their own circles of influence by:
Practicing empathy and listening to multiple perspectives without judgement (and without the need to find specific solutions) will help to start building bridges
Talking about how they're feeling and checking in with others ~ address the 'elephants in the room' (name it to tame it!)
Living into values each and every day, and showing up in ways that create hope and possibility
Being kind at every opportunity. The Dalai Lama says "My religion is simple. My religion is kindness"
Living mindfully ~ being present and respectful, and more compassionate to others
Focusing on purpose ~ the greater why (our Noble Goal)

BLOX Total CMS
TotalCMS Social Broadcast limitations
Kevin M. Cox 3 years ago in BLOX Total CMS • updated by Brad Boner 3 years ago • 6
I'm posting here as part of a formal feature request and also to see how the rest of y'all are working around this limitation.
What we've found is that social media broadcasts from TotalCMS are more often then not failing to actually happen. Support pinpointed that this failure will occur anytime an article gets edited (by a line editor or page designer) in between the time an asset gets a Site Tag and passes the Start Date/Time. For us this is a large portion of content.
Here is the note from support:
"The failure of the articles broadcasted from the TotalCMS system results from broadcasting an article that has a start date/time in the future that has additional revisions made to the asset in-between the time it was broadcast and the time it goes live. If the revisions are made after the start time has passed then the broadcast of the asset will be successful.
"To avoid this issue I would not broadcast the asset if the asset will need to be revised before it goes live or be sure to re-broadcast the asset after additional revisions are made before it goes live."
And my response:
"This is behavior that definitely needs to be corrected to support a real-world newspaper publishing workflow.
"We expect reporters to compose the social broadcasts because as the authors they are most closely associated with the content.
"However all articles still need to be edited before publication.
"With the details you've given us it means that we would have to ask the page designers to go back and set the social broadcast information after they have finished designing the pages at the end of the night which just isn't realistic.
"I'm sure we could make some minor changes to our workflow as well, but I feel like there might be some middle ground we need to work towards here.
"If the behavior cannot be changed there definitely needs to some change in the TotalCMS GUI that alerts users to the fact that the broadcast was cancelled. Right now it still just shows the "Syndicated..." text exactly the same as if the broadcast was successful."
In my feature request I'm asking that they either correct the problem of the broadcasts not happening or at a minimum update the GUI in that situation so reporters are aware the broadcast was cancelled due to a later edit.
How are y'all working around this problem or are we the only ones dealing with it due to our workflow?

I asked a similar question and received a similar answer.
Aidian 3 years ago
Wowsa. That's gotta be priority fix. We're supposed to be adopting Total CMS this spring, and that would throw a major monkey wrench in our workflow.
Kevin M. Cox 3 years ago
Checkout Christine's reply in this topic: https://community.townnews.com/communities/1/topics/604-set-broadcast-time-separate-from-start-datetime
It looks like it might solve this issue, but she hasn't confirmed it.
Christine Masters (Director of BLOX CMS) 3 years ago
I'm still trying to get a super definitive answer on this... I will let you know!
The TotalCMS aspect is complex because the product launch phases are so different. So we had to built the new hosted environment so that it understands the legacy TotalCMS broadcast system, as well as the new Total CMS Notifier system at the point where it is launched in the future on appliances. Because of that, I may actually have to get someone to replicate the specific workflow, but I will let you know. =)
Thank you Christine. And I understand if the issue won't totally be fixed until after TotalCMS catches up with the BLOX releases from hosted a couple months later.

Chabad celebrates opening of new building
by Debra Rubin NJJN Bureau Chief/Middlesex
To view photo gallery click here
Less than 24 hours after receiving a certificate of occupancy for its new addition, 400 people celebrated the opening of the expanded Chabad House at Rutgers University in New Brunswick.
The 34th anniversary dinner on Dec. 13 raised $1.1 million toward the $12 million goal for the 55,000-square-foot expansion.
Honored at the dinner were Rutgers University president Dr. Robert Barchi for his support of Chabad House and Jewish life on campus, and Ronald Rak, president and CEO of St. Peter's Healthcare System, for his New Brunswick hospital's donation of abikur holim room at Chabad House where observant Jews can stay while visiting patients on Shabbat and holidays. Among the many dignitaries who attended was NJ Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno.
The expansion includes enlarged dining facilities, the first Sephardi synagogue on a public college campus in the nation, and a 72-bed boys' dormitory. The facility, already the largest Chabad house in the world, has long had a girls' dormitory.
"It was on Hanukka exactly four years ago that we broke ground on a snowy day in a tent," recalled Chabad executive director Rabbi Yosef Carlebach.
He said staff and volunteers had been feverishly working the last two weeks to ready the building. The night before the dinner, Carlebach said he did not arrive home until 4 a.m., when he found his wife waiting up to light Hanukka candles with him.
Attesting to the tight schedule, dinner guest Doug Hutt of East Brunswick said he had joined "dozens and dozens" of volunteers in the last three days.
Less than two hours before the dinner, he said, "I was scraping windows that had paint and [manufacturers'] stickers on them," said Hutt, producing a plastic scraper from his pocket.
Student volunteers led dinner guests on tours of the new building, which still had sections to be completed in the coming weeks.
Ross Leibowitz of Neptune, a dorm resident adviser, showed off spacious dorm rooms and thebikur holim room. "I remember when I first got here, the building was a shell," said Leibowitz. "Now to see a finished building…."
Jessica Loren of West Windsor, Chabad student president, called the new addition "absolutely amazing" and added, "Now we can do so many more things with more students."
Rabbi Yehuda Leib Groner, former secretary to the Chabad movement's late rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, addressed Barchi in his dinner remarks.
"It would seem Rutgers University has a special place with Hashem. He chose Rutgers not only in the physical sense, but Rutgers has the z'chus, merit, to accommodate this great Chabad house," Groner said.
Barchi in turn spoke of the "anchor" that religious organizations such as Chabad can offer students by providing social relationships and a comfortable environment. Jewish institutions on campus also include Rutgers Hillel and the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life.
Chabad administrator Rabbi Mendy Carlebach cited the special relationship with St. Peter's hospital, located four blocks away. He praised outreach to the Jewish community, including staff training to increase cultural awareness and diversity.
Yosef Carlebach recalled that in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy he met Rak in a shelter helping to feed and care for those battered by the storm. Rak, he said, "is a man who believes in God and believes in what God wants."
Rak, whose father died when he was six, said he learned the "value of education in the context of faith" from his mother, who worked various jobs to support him and his sisters.
"It is fitting we celebrate this Chabad house during Hanukka when the Jews revolted when prevented from living their traditions and religion," he said.

David slew Goliath with a slingshot. We just need to get a lot of Davids to slay the giant that government has become.
Einstein said that world war four would be fought with sticks and stones. That maybe all we have for the next American Revolutionary War.
Just the " assault " rocks and multiple projectile capable slingshots.
They will never get the American firearm owner to give up his weapons or to abide by any law that prohibits their ownership.
The majority of Americans do not live in big cities where policemen walk their neighborhoods or even ride patrol cars regularly past their homes or farms. Criminals will always have firearms and citizens have the right to defend themselves.
I'll opt for a Wrist Rocket….have they banned those yet?
New York State is way ahead of Joe on this one. It's been a felony to own a wrist-braced slingshot here for quite some time. Andy calls us the Progressive capitol of the US.
If they do; they're looking for another Civil War.
The Cherokee (Eastern Band, anyway) tell a story about the reasoning behind the hairstyle many (incorrectly) refer to as a "Mohawk".
The Cherokee warriors adopted a very distinctive haircut to stop this. It was meant for that reason – and also as a challange to the "hunters" that, "Here it is, come get it, IF you're man enough!". They also, in the interest of balance, started returning the scalping favor, and the rest is somewhat distorted history.
What do you think, will they be man enough to come at armed citizens? Or do you think that's why they're trying to browbeat us into surrendering like little lambs?
Send joe bidet [sic] a slingshot – there's always the good chance he'll hurt himself with it.
I guess he won't mind if his security guards have only slingshots.


Clean air filters matter. It's important to routinely monitor them so that, when they become clogged with all the dirt, dust and debris that they filter out of the air you breathe, you can respond with a clean filter for better indoor air quality and improved energy efficiency. When the air filter is clogged, your furnace will strain harder to remove these contaminants, increasing your utility bills and shortening your HVAC equipment's life. Just like a car's air filter, a dirty furnace filter starves the engine in your furnace for air.
In fact, a government study indicates that replacing a dirty, clogged filter with a clean one can lower your central air conditioner's or furnace's energy consumption between 5 and 15 percent.
> Here's how to choose the best furnace air filter.
To Properly Insert a Furnace Air Filter, Look for the Arrow!
Ok, so you have realized that now is the time to change your air filter. You have the new one in front of you and the old one still in the furnace. Now what?
1. On your new filter, find the arrow that indicates the proper air flow direction. This tends to confuse everyone more than anything else. That arrow must always face toward the furnace and away from the return duct that carries the air in need of heating or cooling. Forced air furnaces recirculate air throughout a home: pushing air (cool or heated) in and pulling spent air back in for another cycle.
2. Slide the new filter in with the arrow pointing toward the furnace, and you are done.
Here's a helpful 1:42 minute video from Liberty Homes titled insert your home air filter.
Replacing your air filter is not difficult as long as you understand that air flows from your ducts, through the filter, and into the furnace. The arrow on the filter always should point toward the furnace.
