NETL-led project offers prospect of cutting carbon capture cost
World Coal, Wednesday, 09 January 2019 10:15
A computational modeling project led by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has identified membrane materials that will make carbon capture more affordable for coal-fired power plants, reducing the cost to less than US$50 per metric tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) removed.
NETL's Jan Steckel, Ph.D., worked with Chris Wilmer, Ph.D., of the University of Pittsburgh, and NETL colleagues Olukayode Ajayi, Ph.D., and Samir Budhathoki to model the cost of carbon capture for more than 1 million hypothetical mixed matrix membrane (MMM) materials using powerful computational tools. Their work is highlighted in the latest edition of the journal Energy and Environmental Science. Membrane-based CO2 capture uses permeable or semi-permeable materials that allow for the selective transport and separation of CO2 from flue gas. The computational modeling project focused on MMMs that incorporate porous nanoparticles, known as metal-organic frameworks, into the matrix of a sturdy polymer to enhance selectivity and permeability. The team leveraged NETL's computational capabilities to connect atomistic simulations to techno-economic analyses of the membrane-based carbon capture process. Their efforts identified the best combinations of polymers and nanoparticles to make novel membranes with outstanding properties for carbon capture.
The techno-economic analyses indicated that 1153 of more than 1 million MMMs could reduce the cost of carbon capture to less than US$50 per metric tonne of CO2 removed — within reach of the US Department of Energy's goal of US$40 or less for pulverised coal plants. The results highlighted the importance of incorporating the right metal-organic framework to complement a particular polymer. "It was exciting to find that there are so many combinations of polymers and metal-organic frameworks that have the potential to make a dramatic reduction in carbon capture cost," Steckel said. "Many of the promising metal-organic frameworks identified in our screening were published years ago, but nobody has been investigating them for carbon capture."
"This work is a great accomplishment for NETL. We have predicted membrane technologies, using integrated models at scales spanning atoms through technoeconomics, that will change the future of membrane-based carbon capture," said Bryan Morreale, Executive Director of NETL's Research and Innovation Center. "The Lab's multi-scale computational capabilities, combined with strategic partnerships including Chris Wilmer and the University of Pittsburgh in this work, will continue to push the rate of discovery, development and deployment of technologies that will change the future of energy for the US."
NETL will rely on the project's results to focus and refine ongoing efforts to develop membranes that effectively capture CO2 at an affordable cost.

When working with videos, it's very common to specify a timecode. TOML supports this as "Local Time" formatted as HH:MM:SS. While Zola does seem to parse TOML files correctly, it doesn't do anything with the "Local Time" data, and instead - using __tera_context, it looks like it has some weird internal field like $__TOML_private_time (or something similar).
That's toml-rs private date serialization. It's causing quite a few headaches for the front-matter that is trying to do TOML -> struct -> JSON. Probably some cases are not handled properly still? Is that in the extra section of the front matter?
Is that in the extra section of the front matter?
It is in an external TOML data file. I would imagine the same behavior would happen if it was declared in front matter.
I would imagine the same behavior would happen if it was declared in front matter.
There is some code to translate those dates in the front-matter to strings, maybe we can reuse that in the load_data for TOML.
I have added a test in https://github.com/getzola/zola/pull/644/commits/603906de854811bc4d2a30fb5b0efc2837d7b79e but I can't seem to replicate the issue, it seems to work as expected there?
Do you have a sample file that is failing?
I'll take a look when I get home from work later today.


Why use a KOSS Air Eliminator? For improved product quality and more reliable, accurate measurements; also to eliminate pump cavitation, extending pump life.
Raw milk tanker arrives. AE (Air Eliminator) 3" (76.2mm) inlet's hose is connected to tanker truck; AE's pitched inlet drains tanker naturally. When product reaches AE's level probe, pump (located after AE's 4" (101.6mm) bottom vortex cancelling outlet) engages, drawing product out of tanker and through AE.
Product enters AE tangentially via pitched inlet; product spins, increasing surface area exposed to vacuum treatment, more product is exposed longer resulting in fewer bubbles.
Air escapes naturally via top fitting while unique outlet design helps eliminate vortex, preventing air from reentering product without use of additional, hard to clean apparatuses (vortex breakers, floats).
Pump shuts off when product level drops below probe, preventing air from reentering product. Remaining product drains off tanker naturally, allowing for complete product removal. Pump reengages when AE product level reaches probe, pulling in remaining product.
To clean, remove hose from tanker, hook hose to CIP-Supply (usually washes with silo fill line circuit), connect AE's spray ball fitting to small fitting on piping section between check valve & unload pump discharge line.

Along with Collin Kartchner's #savethekids Parent Presentation tonight, Sierra Bonita has the opportunity to have him at our school. He will meet with our 4th-6th grade students on Wednesday morning. He will share what prompted his #savethekids campaign and how our students can rise above the negative social media influence.
His final message will be not to compare their lives with the highlight reels they see on their phones. That to be really happy, they need to put their phone down and connect in real life with the real people around them who truly care about them. That likes, followers, Snap streaks, and retweets do not determine their worth, even though they're growing up in a society where the media and culture teach the opposite. That they are loved, and worthy of love, no matter the mistakes they've made, and that life is offline. They can spend their school days focused on what's happening to everyone else's lives on their phones, or they can look up and get involved in service or spend that time working on their own talents and chase their own dreams.
Parents are encouraged to attend our presentation on Wednesday morning from 9:30-10:30am, if you are available. If you cannot attend please have a conversation with your students on what they learned from Collin's Presentation. Tonight's presentation at Springville High School is strictly for parents. The presentation at Sierra Bonita will be student centered.

Trump Hits Out at China Over Slowing Agricultural Purchases
Alex Wayne, Shruti Date Singh and Michael Hirtzer
Bloomberg July 12, 2019
(Bloomberg) -- Sign up for Next China, a weekly email on where the nation stands now and where it's going next.
Donald Trump complained that China hasn't increased its purchases of American farm products, a promise he said he had secured at a meeting with the country's president, Xi Jinping, at the Group of 20 summit last month.
Xi and Trump agreed to restart trade talks between their countries at the meeting, and the U.S. president said he would hold off on imposing additional tariffs on Chinese imports. Trump also claimed Xi had agreed that China would buy large amounts of U.S. agricultural goods.
But data released Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture indicate that China actually slowed its purchases of American agriculture products following the G-20 meeting. China bought 127,800 metric tons of U.S. soybeans last week, the equivalent of about two cargoes and a 79% reduction from the previous week. Similarly, China bought just 76 tons of American pork, compared to 10,400 tons in June.
Earlier on Thursday, Chinese Ministry of Commerce Spokesman Gao Feng said the agricultural trade is "an important issue that the two sides need to talk about" but didn't confirm whether China agreed to buy American agricultural products as part of the agreement reached in Osaka. In the readout of the Xi-Trump meeting published by the state-run Xinhua News Agency, it only mentioned that Trump said he hoped China could increase imports from the U.S., and didn't say how Xi or the Chinese team responded.
Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the state-owned Global Times newspaper tweeted late Thursday that the "achievement of Osaka summit is a China-US consensus, not a unilateral commitment China made to the U.S. Hope the U.S. will lift all sanctions on Huawei soon and respect the principle of equality."
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin spoke on the phone with their Chinese counterparts this week, marking the first high-level contact following the G-20 meeting.
The American officials spoke to Chinese Vice Premier Liu He and Commerce Minister Zhong Shan on Tuesday, according to an emailed statement from a U.S. government official who declined to be identified. Both sides will continue these talks as appropriate, the official said, without offering more details on the next steps.

Feds prepared to consider proposal to ban handguns, Goodale says
Laura StoneQueen's Park Reporter
Published July 24, 2018 Updated July 24, 2018
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale says there is no known connection between the Toronto shooting suspect and national security concerns, and that the Trudeau government is prepared to consider a proposal to ban handguns.
Still, Mr. Goodale said such changes to handgun provisions would be complex and require a "significant remodeling of the Criminal Code."
When asked on Tuesday about comments made by Toronto Mayor John Tory in the wake of the deadly Toronto shooting this week, who asked why anyone in the city needs a gun, Mr. Goodale said a similar proposal was first brought forward by people affected by the January 2017 mosque shooting in Quebec City, where six people were killed.
"A number of groups and organizations made representations to that effect earlier this year. I said that we would be prepared to consider their arguments and we will do that," Mr. Goodale told reporters on Tuesday.
"We'll obviously examine carefully what they've had to say. Public safety is extremely important to all Canadians and we need to make sure that we get this right."
Mr. Goodale made the comments alongside former Toronto police chief Bill Blair, who was recently named the Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction, as the two headed into a set of emergency meetings at the Citizenship and Immigration committee to discuss Ottawa's response to the growing number of asylum-seekers crossing the Canada-U.S. border.
The public safety minister said at this point in the shooting investigation, which is being handled by Toronto police, there is no known "nexus" between Toronto shooting suspect Faisal Hussain, who killed a 10-year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman and injured 13 others on Danforth Avenue in Toronto on Sunday night, and security agencies. Mr. Hussain also died after exchanging gunfire with police.
Mr. Goodale added that the government's new firearms bill, which was introduced in March, looks to upgrade the law with respect to background checks. He said he'll raise the issue of a national requirement to report mental health issues as part of checks when he meets with provincial public safety and justice ministers this fall.
Mr. Blair said the federal government is working with both the province and city to address the issue of gun violence.
He added that he can't speak specifically about the circumstances that led to the shooting, but Mr. Hussain's family said the 29-year-old battled psychosis and other mental health issues for years.
"Unfortunately in our country there are many ways in which a person can illegally acquire a handgun," Mr. Blair said.
"I am familiar with the way in which people intent on criminal and violent criminal activities can at times obtain handguns both legally and illegally, and overwhelmingly they do it in an illegal fashion."
In May, the president of Quebec City's Centre culturel Islamique de Québec appealed to a parliamentary committee to include a ban on assault weapons in proposed gun-control legislation.
Six people were killed in a shootout during prayers at the Quebec City mosque on Jan. 29, 2017, and Boufeldja Benabdallah told members of the public-safety committee the death toll could have been much higher if the shooter's weapon had not jammed.

1. BBIA Choco Last Auto Gel Eyeliner #V1 Brownie – A waterproof plain brown gel eyeliner because I've had my current one for almost two years :') It's quite budgeproof and at times a bit difficult to remove but glides on ever so well.
2. BBIA – Downy Cheek #5 Downy Coral – A fun coral blush that's really travel friendly. I'm not big on blush (pretty but I hardly wear them) so I'm trying out something subtle. Formula is crazy, practically melts at your fingertips.
3. ETUDE HOUSE Tint My Brows Gel (5g) in #3 Gray Brown- saw the hype going around these and it really fascinated me! (why not give it a go ah?) I tested it out on my sister and myself for around 2.5 hours before removing and it's holding pretty well on the third day. Definitely saves me filling in a lot of my brow but touch ups are still required.
5.ETUDE HOUSE Drawing Eye Brow (0.25g) #1 Black Brown and #2 Gray Brown- kbeauty staples that have been sold out at wcosmetics almost all the time! Bought two because it was buy one get one free and in different shades because I'm not sure which one suited me better.
I first discovered TOUCH IN SOL wandering through the aisles of a city Priceline store and saw a cushion compact :O like woooot. A sales assistant promptly came to me and gushed about how she loved their Flawless Skin Top Coat foundation (really cool packaging look it up!) It's the first Korean brand to hit Priceline shelves and I found them on Beautynetkorea. The price difference is crazy !!! The same foundation on Beautynetkorea was around $14 USD or $20 AUD… Most TOUCH IN SOL products in Priceline are around $40-$50 when you can get them on BeautynetKorea for no more than $15USD. Idek.
Last product (not pictured) is the Tonymoly I'm Real Tea Tree Sebum Pore Lotion (200ml). I tried out a sample of the lotion and fell in loveeee!
And that's the haul!! What products are you loving lately and have you tried Beautynetkorea?
Cute haul! So crazy the markups of Touch in Sol in Priceline! How do the prices compare to W cosmetics? That blush looks so pretty! Congrats on passing your driving test too!Tasha // shiwashiful.
Thanks Tashaaa! – the feeling is glorious. I was grinning like an idiot driving by myself for the first time…and yaass I am all for cute products !! haha, most of these products you can't get at Wcosmetics (they don't sell Touch in Sol) and there's the problem with accessibility/sold out shades so I'm okay with waiting for an order because prices are reasonable.
Naisu! I have heard of Cosmetic Love but never tried. I have previously ordered from ibuybeauti and I think it's all up to which brands /sales are around. And OMG I KNOW I KNOW! my level of self control for beauty hauls is pitiful :') You are not alone !!!!


The new limited-edition beverage takes its inspiration from a traditional Japanese springtime confection.
It's time to picnic under the trees and bask in the fleeting moment of beauty.
Here at RocketNews24, we'll eat pretty much anything. But we especially love wrapping our smackers around limited edition burgers in a variety of hues and consistencies. We've eaten black burgers, red burgers, sloppy burgers, and crusty burgers, but what our little lives have been missing all this time is a pretty pink burger! Luckily KFC China has complied with our wishes and rolled out their brand-new rose flavoured chicken burger.
We sent our lucky reporter Meg all the way to China just to try one of these fancy and feminine chicken sammidges.
In Japan, there are currently 3,440 female inmates confined to seven correctional facilities which all together are built to hold 3,342 women. These statistics come from a spokesperson for the newly opened Saijo branch of Matsuyama Prison, which was built to address this overcrowding problem.
The new prison reportedly offers various facilities and services to cater to women's needs, but most striking by far are the doors, barred windows and furniture all over the penitentiary, which appear to have been painted a soft pink color, as if to remind the inmates that they're ladies first and convicted criminals second.


A blood thinner normally injected into patients at risk of clots can help ease chronic lung diseases when it's inhaled.
Researchers at the University of Portsmouth found that heparin, a drug that has been around for more than 100 years, significantly improves lung function and breathing in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
COPD, which affects around a million people, is an umbrella term for lung diseases such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis; patients find it difficult to get air in and out of the lungs, partly because the airways become inflamed and narrow.
The main cause is smoking, but pollution and genetics have also been implicated. Over time, the walls of the airways thicken and mucus is produced, which worsens symptoms.
One of the first signs is a cough, but it eventually causes extreme breathlessness and wheezing.
Treatment involves medication, often through nebulisers, to reduce inflammation and allows more oxygen into the lungs, or exercise programmes to bolster lung capacity.
Now UK scientists have discovered that turning the drug heparin into an aerosol, which can be inhaled through a face mask, can boost patients' lung function.
Heparin is normally used in injection form for patients at risk of a blood clot, such as those who've recently had surgery or have a faulty heart rhythm.
The drug binds to a protein in the blood which stops it clotting. But research has found the structure of the heparin molecule means it has potential roles in other treatments, according to Janis Shute, a professor of respiratory pharmacology, who led the new study at the University of Portsmouth.
For example, a laboratory study found that heparin has mucus-thinning properties, making it potentially useful for helping clear a patient's airways.
To test this, the Portsmouth scientists reformulated heparin into fine particles that could be inhaled as an aerosol, and put these particles into a device connected to a mask which contained a propellant gas that would force it into the lungs.
In a pilot study involving 40 COPD patients, inhaled heparin was found to boost lung function by at least 10 per cent within days of treatment starting, and this made it significantly easier for patients to breathe in more air, according to a report in the European Respiratory Journal.
It's not clear yet whether COPD patients will need to inhale the drug every day, or just when symptoms are particularly bad.
The researchers are now planning a trial to see if heparin inhaled daily can benefit patients with cystic fibrosis, the genetic disorder that causes lungs to become seriously congested with mucus.
'Nothing we have at the moment does anything to the mucus levels, and it's a huge problem,' says Jorgen Vestbo, a professor of respiratory medicine at University Hospital South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust.

Q: Creating grid of hexagons I have to do a "grid" like this:

Harmonic table
I'm trying to create a ListView with ItemsSource="List<Note>" where every odd note in the list is moved on the bottom...
Is the ListView the right control?
How can I draw an exact hexagon with faces that is near next object?
EDIT: hexagon drawing is solved... this is the xaml:
<Path d:LayoutOverrides="None"
      d:LastTangent="0,0" Stroke="Blue" Fill="Red"
      HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
      Margin="0" Width="100" Height="100" x:Name="Path"
  Stretch="Fill"
      Data="M8.660254,0 L17.320508,5 17.320508,15 8.660254,20 0,15 0,5 8.660254,0 z"/>

A: The container for your notes would be an ItemsControl or a ListBox if you need to select items. Then you give your items a template using ListBox.ItemTemplate where you include your hexagon drawing. You have a nice tutorial on Custom ListBox layout.
At this point, your hexagons are displayed one below the other as a ListBox does by default. To get your special layout, you have to change the ListBox.ItemPanel. Here you have two possibilities:

*

*either you use the Canvas panel that supports absolute positioning. In this case your items must have X and Y properties that you will use to position them.

*or you create a custom Panel, probably based on Canvas, that is able to convert your custom coordinate system (for example note name + octave number) into X and Y. A bit more difficult but much more reusable. An example of Custom Panel on CodeProject.

A: HexGrid: CodeProject article
HexGrid: GitHub repository
The key component of a possible solution is a WPF Panel which can arrange hexagonal elements (Standard Panels operate with rectangular child elements).  Take a look my HexGrid project (too large to post here). The cental part of it is a HexGrid (WPF Panel which arranges child elements in a honeycomb pattern). Child elements are represented by HexItems (hexagon-shaped ContentControls). There is also HexList (selector ItemsControl which displays items in HexItem container on a HexGrid panel) which gives hex selection support out-of-box.
example of usage:
<hx:HexList Name="HexColors" Orientation="Vertical"
            Grid.Row="1"
            Padding="10"
            SelectedIndex="0"
            Background="{Binding Path=SelectedItem.Background, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
            RowCount="5" ColumnCount="5">
    <hx:HexItem Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Background="#006699"/>
    <hx:HexItem Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" Background="#0033CC"/>
    <hx:HexItem Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="3" Background="#3333FF"/>
    <!--...-->
    <hx:HexItem Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="1" Background="#CC9900"/>
    <hx:HexItem Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="2" Background="#FF3300"/>
    <hx:HexItem Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="3" Background="#CC0000"/>
</hx:HexList>

A Standout Singer

Ben Holcman found his "voice" with the support of other band members.
"Music means a lot to me because I feel like music is one of the more creative ways to portray what you're trying to say. Listening to music, and even writing it, is very useful when you're trying to get a point across. I always wanted to sing when I was younger, but…I kind of gave up singing for a while. After I saw that sports weren't going to work out, I went back to singing earlier this year, which is when I joined CME. The songs that I enjoy singing the most are probably older, more acoustic songs along with some folk songs. These songs are usually easier for me to sing and they go best with my voice. In addition to singing I also play the trumpet for the school band. I have never tried to write music before, but that is something that I might be interested in doing in the future. Before going onstage I get nervous, but the encouragement I got from my bandmates in CME really assured me that I was going to do well. It's the little things that my bandmates did that really helped me. For instance, they all came out onstage when I first practiced the song, they all said how excited they were for the performance, and they would all cheer after I sang. It's very encouraging for me to know that I have their support. I chose to sing a song from A Star Is Born called "Maybe It's Time" because I really enjoy that song and I am a fan of the movie. I also knew that the song would go well with my voice because it does not require me to hit any high notes. After my performance, members of CME put a cowboy hat on me because I was actually supposed to wear that hat for the performance, but I got nervous and didn't end up remembering to put it on. I have gotten an incredible response to my performance from my classmates. I was really surprised that even after Spring Break, people were coming up to me and congratulating me. The response I have gotten to my performance has meant a lot to me because before attending Country Day, I went to a school where there was a lot of favoritism and not every kid was given an equal opportunity, so I did not get to do things like this. Going to MCDS and being supported and encouraged to get involved in music has been really great. My biggest challenge in singing is probably hitting the higher notes because I have a naturally low voice, so trying to sing higher is very difficult for me. Hopefully, in the future I will be singing a larger range of songs and a little less country songs. I would love to perform an old Elton John song."

In his various reminiscences about the early twenties Hemingway recalls with grim satisfaction how difficult it was to get his stories accepted. One persistent memory was associated with the rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs, where he lived when he returned to Paris from Canada in 1924 after quitting his newspaper job.
On the table was a volume of Rembrandt reproductions, and a box of English cigarettes—one of which is eventually smoked by Mme. Cuttoli who does not know one goes outside to smoke in order not to stimulate the desire to smoke in Picasso. In the thousands of photographs, he always had a cigarette in his mouth or fingers.
Gustave Lerouge, who died several years ago on the eve of the Second World War, was the author of 312 works (in any case, that is the number of his works in my library), many of which were in several volumes and one, Le Mysterieux Docteur Cornelius, was a 150-page masterpiece of scientific detective fiction in 56 installments; others were not even signed since Gustave Lerouge often worked for publishers of the seventeenth order.
When through who the unotherish twilight up drops but his nib licks Sir Oral Ne Ferdinand Joegesq' (disarmed to the nonteeth by lose able scripture befisto-zr-P—nd subjesting etsemina our light written) and him as mightily distant from a fit of the in cheerful as am our hero but naturally encore when the ittorian extroverts Well why not send your portrait of you and your portrait of me? J, says sprouts, it ch'll bepigged, if only in the name of Adver the Tisement;but will they immaculate it on t'other conception(meaning Brussels) which being respond fully pre answered we thus forth are proseeding.
In New York I was already aware of both the lady and her attributes, and on leaving for France in the spring of 1949 was determined to know her. I arrived like any other Francophile tourist with intentions of spending one summer. But from the outset that insular nation contradictorally greeted me with open arms: within a month I knew and—so much more important!—was known by most of the musical milieu I have frequented since.
I am surprised that no novelist of today has yet devoted a work to the automobile, to the modern highway, to road side inns, to gallant adventures of the road such as Casanova celebrated in his Memories, which were full of post-chaises and hostelries familiar to travelers at the end of the Eighteenth century; or as George Borrow in The Bible in Spain wrote of adventures and encounters along the road in Spain at the beginning of the Twentieth century (a little in the manner ofL'Intineraire Espagnol of t'Sterstevens, except that Borrow hadn't gone to Spain to write a book—that would never have occurred to him—but to distribute the book of books, the Bible, in Spain, and particularly to distribute it—queer idea!—to the gypsies).


"Let's go back to Window island," I asked Asrin, my local friend and host, to drive his motor canoe to the tiny island across. I had explored the area around Tangkian, Asrin's village, for the whole day to find a suitable beach or island for our project: cottages for tourists. There were seven white sand beaches but all of them had been bought by rich businessmen or local government officials. He and I had not enough money to buy from them. Dead end.
We had stopped at Window Island two hours before, but I did go ashore because it did not look a suitable place for cottages, too small (6 x 50 meter), no white sand, and poor coral reefs. Its uniqueness is the hole (two persons-width) in the center of the rock connecting its north and south coasts (see the photo). We landed on the south coast of the Island and walked about five meters to reach the "window." There is only a narrow rocky platform (2 x 1 meter) behind the window. I could see the shadow of Una-una Island in the northwest horizon; the rest is an open ocean. I know the sunset moves across the Island in the year cycle and is always a wonderful panorama for daydreamers.
I looked south. And, the koan struck me. Separated by a narrow strait, about 100 meters, the Sun rises behind the forested hills of Kadidiri Island; its ray slowly changes the nuance of the mangrove leaves on the coast from dark to bright green and reveals the color of coral reef under the crystal water. A perfect view, but . . . no land to build the cottages.
"Do you think we can build stilt house here?" I asked Asrin.
He looked at the shallow bottom of the ocean. "We can, Doctor," he answered.
"Maybe more if they are not big." Then, the hardest problem was solved. The Window Island is a good place for ecotourism because it has a beautiful view around and colorful coral reefs, is near to the local village, and not far from two diving operators.
Later in the evening, I discussed our project plan with Asrin and the Head of the village. We were going to start by three persons before involving the whole community. The locals will provide the material and labor; the Foundation will cover the cost of furniture, electrical, water and sanitation systems, and operational expenses. The Foundation will spend about $750 per hut at the construction stage. The net profit will be divided between the owner (40%), the Foundation (40%), and health service for community (20%). The Foundation staff and volunteers will initially manage the cottages and transfer it gradually to the locals through internship method.
Both the village Head and Asrin were excited with our plan. They hope they can make more money with easier work; I hope I can save the terrestrial and marine wildlife of Togean Islands, my final project goal–the Head is an illegal logger, Asrin is a reef blaster and poisoner. What I need now is to find funding resources for the operational cost beyond the first six months and program expansion to the whole community.

#Pwnd: Lauri Love, Accused Hacker, Forces Government to Return Seized Computers
By raincoaster on May 22, 2015 • ( 5 )
Lauri Love, the Brit/Scot/Finn accused of hacking into multiple US government computers including those of NASA, the EPA, the US Army, the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and the US Missile Defence System, has successfully confronted the UK government, and won. As the Guardian reported:
It is alleged that Love successfully stole the personal details of more than 5,000 servicemen and servicewomen and former government employees, including "numerous" Nasa workers, in 10 separate online assaults. He faces up to 10 years in a US prison if he is found guilty, according to prosecutors, who said that he would also be liable to pay a fine of $250,000 (£154,000) or twice the gross loss from each of the two alleged offences.
His UK home was raided by the UK's National Crime Agency, and his computers and peripheral equipment were seized. Subsequent to that he was arrested. After a prolonged lawsuit for the return of his seized property, he recently achieved partial victory. He's been kind enough to allow us at The Cryptosphere to reprint his remarks on the occasion, first posted over at the hacker's mecca, Github. He still faces one count of gaining unauthorised access to a US government computer, and one count of conspiracy.The FBI press release lists the charges as: conspiracy, causing damage to a protected computer, access device fraud and aggravated identity theft. Those charges come from the US, but no charges have been filed on his home turf. This is a good place to remind everyone that, when the FBI raided Barrett Brown's apartment, they seized his copy of Declaration of Independence, the document that formalized the creation of the United States of America.
Some of Lauri Love's seized and returned equipment
I am glad that 573 days after a bunch of uninvited guests turned up and took all my nice things, they have found it in their hearts to return – for example – my mother's computer with irreplaceable family photos, and my mobile phone, which would even be useful if they hadn't neglected to put the SIM and memory cards back in. The return of my Raspberry Pi educational hobbyist microcomputer is also greatly appreciated, as I hadn't even had a chance to use it before it had to be taken away from me for a year and a half, presumably on the plausible risk that it contained nuclear launch codes.
The law – Police and Criminal Evidence act – makes it very clear that items must be returned as soon as possible, and that items which may be imaged should not be retained at all. 573 days to return inert plastic, educational toys and family memories may be construed as somewhat of a piss-take…
All jokes aside, the sanctity of private property and the limits of the authority of law-enforcement to deprive and interfere with the same are fundamental to the universally admired and revered heritage of the English justice system, a model emulated around the world. Now that all but six of the thirty-one items taken without permission from our home are returned – some of them even still in quite usable condition – we must wait until the hearing under the Police Property Act, where it will be decided whether arguments such as "broken, cannot interrogate" and "encrypted contents" allow the police effectively to deny the use of digital hardware and deprive individuals or organizations of their own data. Keystone-capers and yakety-sax may have characterized this investigation – and a little levity keeps us sane – but the risk is indeed grave that a precedent is set against the security of personal or organizational property and the absolute right to employ encryption to protect sensitive information against criminal intruders, be they government-sanctioned spooks or their less nefarious and ambitious counterparts in the digital underground. We have the dubious privilege of living in the period of human civilization in which information, computing, networking and civic society itself are becoming inexorably intertwined. Your data – and the data held about you – define and direct the course of your life in ways that were simply inconceivable a generation ago. Therefore, the decisions we make as a society during this integration will have repercussions for generations to come. The duty of the citizen is be prepared, if necessary, to mark out the line where the authority vested in the state ends and inviolable personal or organization autonomy is supreme." I look forward to an amicable and cooperative unraveling of a few of the threads in this Gordian knot of technology and society with my good friends at the NCA and the facilitation of the District Judge at Ipswich Magistrate's court, on July 6th. You are all warmly invited to attend. -Lauri Love, May 21, 2015

Darek Wozniak is president of JW Investrade , a currency exchange consulting firm in London, Ont.
Here in the latter half of June, we can expect the euro and United States dollar currency pair to miss its target. Those two currencies are known as the "king and queen," so the pair missing its target will have a bigger influence on exchange markets.
New forces in the foreign exchange markets are at work, and will influence many pairs of currencies for months—and possibly years—to come.
These forces will also influence the U.S. and Canadian dollars pair, setting up a new long-term trend.
Right now, the euro-greenback pair is telling exporters, importers and investors to get their financial matters in order and prepare for interesting times.
Since 2008, the euro-U.S. dollar pair has fluctuated smoothly, reaching its targets, more or less, according to expectations.
Fluctuations were equally spread, providing equal trading and investment opportunities within European Central Bank (ECB) and U.S. Federal Reserve monetary policies.
Recently, however, the movement of the pair has become less dynamic and fluid. The daily, weekly and monthly movements are somehow restrained. The pair's trend since the end of July 2012 to present day looks more like a corrective trend than a fluid movement.
The monetary, political and financial environments in both the U.S. and eurozone have definitely contributed to changes in the king and queen of currencies. The financial markets are dealing with complex monetary policies, a series of negative financial data coming from Europe and unexpected political events.
Without any question, the monetary policies of the Fed and ECB are playing major roles in shaping the movements of the two currencies.
On one hand, we're in the middle of the Fed's monetary tapering policy; and on the other, we're seeing the ECB signal disappointment over its own monetary policy.
This disappointment culminates a long trend of complaints about high euro exchange rates.
The currency exchange rates between the euro and U.S. dollar have worked for the U.S. economy but have become a source of stress for the eurozone.
The Fed, encouraged by the growth of the U.S. economy, continues to taper persistently, restraining the decline of the U.S. dollar.
Although the Fed didn't raise interest rates recently, it's still signalling the tapering policy will continue.
Though some expect rising interest rates in the U.S. over a growing fear of high inflation, the persistent weaknesses in employment, low income growth, budgetary struggles, and relatively weak manufacturing could keep interest rates relatively calm for a number of years.
Moreover, raising U.S. interest rates would cause the greenback to appreciate in comparison to other currencies, and that would negatively impact American exports.
The Fed will likely use minimal interest rate raises combined with other tools to fight rising inflation.
The situation in the eurozone is drastically different.
The eurozone is in the midst of a heavy recession with a high risk of deflation. The ECB recently reduced its deposit interest rate to 0.1 per cent and European banks now pay the ECB to "park" their money.
The eurozone faces declining inflation that has reached 0.5 per cent recently, and a high unemployment rate of 11.7 per cent.
Export declines and falling imports suggest a dip in economic activity. Facing the risk of deflation that could last many years, the ECB has introduced a number of financial tools to pump money into the real economy and has signaled a willingness to "print money" if conditions worsen.
Clearly the ECB's monetary policy hasn't been enough to reach its target of two per cent inflation.
One of the roadblocks to achieving the necessary strong monetary policy is the difference in opinion between the German Bundesbank and the ECB.
Although the ECB's influence is growing in Europe, the German Bundesbank doesn't support a more aggressive approach in fighting deflation. The aggressive monetary policy with extremely low interest rates and printing money contradicts the German central bank's recessionary policies and is highly unpopular in Germany.
It seems low interest rates in Europe are there to stay, and there's no more room to lower them even further.
In the U.S., we can expect slow and moderate increases of interest rates. Therefore, interest rates in the U.S. and Europe will diverge in the near future, and cause an uplift effect on the U.S. dollar in relation to the euro.
In my opinion, though, the degree of the U.S. dollar's growth due to interest rate increases could be moderated by the Fed in its forward guidance on unemployment, exporting and manufacturing.
The present growth of the American economy is leading to moderate growth of the U.S. dollar that would bring the euro exchange rate into more reasonable territory for the ECB.
We can't forget the U.S. dollar's "safe heaven" status in financial markets. The label indirectly and favourably supports the ECB's effort to lower euro exchange rate.
Without any question, the euro-U.S. dollar pair has been also affected by political instability between Russia and Ukraine.
The American dollar is treated, as usual, as a safe haven by investors in turbulent times and the declining value of the greenback in its pairing with the euro was also restrained by high demand imposed by the foreign investors withdrawing their assets from Russia and converting them into American currency.
The insecurity of the Ukraine-Russia relationship will continue to provide the uplifting effect on the U.S. dollar.
Looking at the strategic importance of international trade between the U.S. and Europe, it's clear the U.S. needs a strong Europe and vice versa.
For many years, Americans and Europeans have adjusted their monetary policies to serve their common objective of helping each other in troubled times.
The common objective would see the Fed increase the value of the American dollar in comparison to the euro for a number of years. Consequently, the euro would decline in major pairs as well as in combination pairs with other "minor" currencies.
Such a currency movement would shift the export advantage to the European side and the import advantage to the U.S.
The U.S. dollar would appreciate in major pairs, including with the loonie, and, this time, the Canadian dollar's depreciation would happen without the Bank of Canada's involvement. This U.S. dollar positioning would begin a long trend of its appreciation in the currency pair with the Canadian dollar.
However, the shift in monetary policy towards a stronger U.S. dollar would put additional restraints on U.S. exports and the entire U.S. economy. Therefore, the decline of the euro in its pair with the greenback will depend on the strength of the U.S. economy and it will have a rather less radical trajectory.
Overall, under the assumption of ECB's conservative monetary policy continuation (no printing money in the eurozone), I would expect a rather moderate and toned down crossing of the present belt's lower resistant line, and consequently at the fourth quarter of 2015 the euro-U.S. dollar pair should oscillate at a level between 1.1800 and 1.2400.
The effect of an increased U.S. dollar in its pairing with the loonie will significantly increase Canadian exports to the U.S. and, naturally hedged in U.S. dollars, to other countries.
The increase of Canadian exports will also depend of the Canadian exporters' ability to pass the currency exchange gain to the American and other foreign importers.
In the environment of Canadian dollar decline the Canadian importers would face more difficult times, therefore they should focus their attention on a "timely" capture of the currency exchange gain.
I also do not expect the dramatic inflow of European exports to Canada since the decline of Canadian dollar will be more steeper then the decline of euro.

A hammer may be used for purposeful destruction as easily, although it's performance for that would be much lower and require more skills.
Electric heating elements tend to die pretty quickly, if you exceed the allowed temperature. Also, the controllers, automatically switching them off, are easier/cheaper to implement than with the gas.
yet both are foiled if you simply lay a long dish towel across them and make sure a few flammables in the kitchen are "unfortunately near"
Also, WRT flammable: the highest cooking temperatures are lower than lowest temperatures of the most flammable materials to catch fire. So I suppose any properly tuned safety switch will turn off the heating before it can ignite anything.
maybe it technically wouldn't ignite gasoline or something (I failed ochem SO hard) but it'd be trivial to two-stage the sabotage -- dish towel as fuse towards more flammable things, more flammable things are findable in a house, etc.
software back in the day was "how do we wire this"
@solder_on The temperatures as high as in frying can damage/destroy materials (that's what cooking basically is…), but to ignite them the reaction has to be self-sustained.
Frankly, IDK what would ignite at temperatures only slightly above the boiling point of water in normal atmospheric pressure.
OTOH, this can make the materials more susceptible to other factors (sunlight, sparks, etc.) and cause a "cascading effect".
@solder_on Yes, actually many old-fashioned electric heating elements are "open type", where the tungsten thread can be accessed directly — it's temperature is pretty high, enough to ignite as cellulose as fats. Those are as dangerous as open fire.
So, yep, unless we mean a very specific type of stove, you're right: it may cause fire left unsupervised, and probably will, given enough time.

would I need front and rear flares from Dodge Omni or just the rear from my 73 MGB?
The Omni flared fender cars that I am familiar with, only used the front flares from the Omni/Horizon swapped to the opposite side of the car.
You can use either... but, the fronts are a lot less work. The rears have an inner fender/wheel well attached at the lip. To use them on the MG, you'd need to cut that away & trim it away for a neat look & no rough edges. 10 years ago, that probably wasn't worth the effort. Now that Omni's are a lot harder to find, it might be worth doing as one Omni while hard to find, will still be way easier to find than 2.
That said, VW rabbit flares are very similar & fenders are available new very reasonably.
Not the same thing. Those are Polyurethane (plastic) bolt on flares. Dodge Omni flares are metal & part of the fender.
Thank you for your feed back - so, Rob mentioned using VW rabbit fenders? Would I need only front ones? Has anyone done those on the "How its Done" section?
There's a ton of info on Rabbit flares on this board. Just put "Rabbit flares" in the search box in the upper right of the page and you'll get at least a dozen threads. And yes, easiest would be to use all front fender flares - I've only seen new front fenders for sale. Haven't seen any rear quarters discussed.
I have looked and tried to find Rabbit fenders I can use - no luck Omni forget that - so I'll try to make my own using new shett metal and bending it to suit.
There are at least two on eBay currently. But, if you have the ability to form your own, go for it. Way less expensive that way and you can make any size you want.
I'm a firm believer in the "roll yer own" method, particularly the rear fenders. Done two sets of them now. If you were close enough I'd let you use my English wheel.

University campus vision approved
By Natalie Vincent - Wed 26 September 2018, 3:15 pm
Architect Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios has won outline planning permission for its design of a £300 million city centre campus for the University of Bristol, less than two months after the scheme was approved.

The site will provide teaching, research and innovation space for 800 staff, external partners and 3,000 students, and accommodation for up to 1,500 undergraduates and postgraduates, by transforming the former Royal Mail sorting office and part of Temple Island. A new £43 million Quantum Technologies Innovation Centre has already been announced.
The main academic building will create a 'gateway' to Temple Meads railway station, while the public will be encouraged to use the campus' waterfront, cafes and shops, and the walking and cycling routes. The campus, which aims to take in its first students in 2021/22, will be car-free, apart from disabled access.
Professor Guy Orpen, deputy vice-chancellor of the University of Bristol, said: "We are committed to a world-class centre for education, research, partnership and innovation that will be a success story not just for the university but for the city, its businesses, communities and citizens.
"Our vision is for an open and welcoming campus, with high quality buildings and inspiring public spaces."

Drug Dealing Husband and Wife Sentenced To Federal Prison
U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Oregon
EUGENE, Ore.—A Douglas County couple known for distributing drugs was sentenced to federal prison today after they were linked to the overdose death of man to whom they had sold drugs to for more than a year.
Brian Joseph Ramos, 49, and Christine Marie Ramos, 41, residents of Yoncalla, Oregon, were sentenced to 70 and 51 months in federal prison, respectively. The Ramoses must also serve five-year terms of supervised release following the completion of their prison sentences.
According to court documents, in May 2018, detectives from the Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team (DINT) learned that an adult male stopped by the Ramoses home in Yoncalla after his release from a residential drug treatment program. Later the same day, the man tragically died of fentanyl poisoning. The next day, investigators interviewed the Ramoses who confirmed the man was at their residence the day prior, but denied giving him drugs. Christine Ramos, who was at work when the man stopped by their residence, admitted to selling the man pills for up to two years prior to his overdose. At one point after learning the man was injecting the pills she sold him, Christine Ramos stopped selling him drugs, but resumed thereafter.
Detectives searched the Ramoses' residence and found several dozen grams of methamphetamine, 260 pills, drug paraphernalia, and digital scales. Several pills that later tested positive for fentanyl were found in the Ramoses' vehicles. Evidence recovered from Brian Ramos's phone revealed that he had in fact sold a pill to the man who succumbed to the fatal overdose.
On August 30, 2018, the Ramoses were charged by criminal complaint with conspiring with one another to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, oxycodone, and hydromorphone. On March 29, 2021, both waived indictment and pleaded guilty.
This case was investigated by DINT and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. It was prosecuted by Jeffrey S. Sweet, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.
Formed in October 1989, the Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team is a special investigative unit formed to combat illegal narcotics activity in Douglas County. DINT member agencies include Douglas County, including the Douglas County Sheriff and District Attorney's Offices, the Oregon National Guard, Oregon State Police, and Roseburg Police Department.

One-class classifier that combines density and class probability estimation.
This is a Python implementation of the OneClassClassifier library from WEKA.

For more information see:
Kathryn Hempstalk, Eibe Frank, Ian H. Witten: [One-Class Classification by Combining Density and Class Probability Estimation](https://github.com/drkatnz/CombinedOneClass/blob/master/hfw08-oneclassclassification.pdf). In: Proceedings of the 12th European Conference on Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases and 19th European Conference on Machine Learning, ECMLPKDD2008, Berlin, 505--519, 2008.

Currently still a **work-in-progress** and the code is untested.

## Pre-requisites
```
scikit-learn >= 18.0
numpy >= 1.11
scipy >= 0.17.1
```
Written for python 2.7 support, not checked with python 3.

## Usage example
```
import sys
sys.path.append('path/to/repository/locally/oneclass')
import oneclass

occ = oneclass.OneClassClassifier(contamination=outliers_fraction)
occ.fit(X)

# will predict 1 for inlier, -1 for outlier
occ.predict(X)

# will return an array, each item is the probability of being an inlier.
occ.decision_function(X)
```

### Supported functionality

At this stage just the Gaussian generator is supported for the data generation step. This is the default in WEKA.
If the standard deviation is zero (all values the same) a dummy generator will be used instead of a gaussian.

### TODO

- Weights are not supported.
- Base classifier has been set to scikit-learn's DecisionTreeClassifier, this should be better optimised.
- Uniform data generators not supported.

Q: jquery how to get element html plus text of an textarea element I will be straight to the point. I created a textarea element and I have to return the tag html plus the text inside.
var elemField = $('<textarea></textarea>');
elemField.val('bla bla this is my textarea text');
//changing some properties
elemField.attr("disabled", "disabled");
elemField.width('95%');

found this solution:
var elemFeldCode = elemField.clone().wrap('<p>').parent().html().toString();

Output:
"<textarea disabled="disabled" style="width: 95%;"></textarea>"

Desired Output:
"<textarea disabled="disabled" style="width: 95%;">bla bla this is my textarea text</textarea>"

Any one can help me to have this result in a cross browser manner throw jquery?!

A: For your desired output you'll have to use .text() to set the content of the text area as .val() does not affect the html of the node.
elemField.text('bla bla this is my textarea text');

DEMO

A: You can add it explicitly:
var elemFeldCode = elemField.clone().wrap('<p>').parent().html()
    .replace('</',elemField.val()+'</').toString();

A Dollar Bill Led To Former NASA Scientist's Imprisonment In Turkey
Serkan Golge worked at NASA's Johnson Space Center. (File)
Former NASA scientist Serkan Golge was suddenly released from prison in Turkey this week after spending nearly three years behind bars on terrorism charges – an arrest stemming in part from his possession of a single dollar bill.
The State Department, which has long described the terrorism accusations against Golge as unjust and unsupported, confirmed his unexpected release Wednesday hours after a phone call between President Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The 39-year-old physicist, a dual Turkish and American citizen, had been arrested in the summer of 2016 while visiting family in Turkey, swept up in a massive dragnet by Turkish authorities in the aftermath of the failed coup seeking to overthrow Erdogan.
Golge was one of more than 110,000 people, including at least nine American citizens and several US Consulate employees, detained during the crackdown by the Turkish government on suspicion of participating in the failed coup attempt in July 2016, according to the US Helsinki Commission, an independent federal body focused on regional security and human rights overseas. He was convicted on what the commission described as apparent false terrorism charges without due process and sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison in February 2018, a sentence that was later reduced to five years.
White House and State Department officials have so far not provided any detail about what led to his release. Trump thanked Erdogan while speaking to reporters on the White House lawn Thursday, saying he hoped Golge would be able to return home soon. Golge, however, told NBC News that the conditions of his probation won't allow him to leave Turkey for now.
"My family and I, we haven't been happy for a very long time. But after my release, at least I can now say that there's a light at the end of the tunnel," he said Thursday.
Turkish authorities detained Golge on the morning of July 23, 2016, just as he was leaving his family's home for the airport to return to Houston, where he worked at NASA's Johnson Space Center. Based on a tip, the Turkish officers claimed that Golge was connected to the organization that Erdogan blamed for the coup attempt, describing the Gulen movement as a terrorist group, according to the commission.
After police searched the home two separate times, they finally emerged with a single US dollar bill – the evidence authorities seized to claim that Golge was connected to the failed coup and the Gulen movement. The group's leader, Fethullah Gulen, lived in Pennsylvania.
"One day you're a NASA scientist's wife, the next you're an accused terrorist's wife," Golge's wife, Kubra, told the Houston Press in a 2017 interview. "It's insane."
Erdogan accused Gulen, his former ally, of staging the coup attempt within hours of the violent insurrection on July 15, 2016. Gulen – an Islamic scholar who supported Western ideas and had established numerous schools in Turkey, the United States and elsewhere – denied involvement from the beginning and disputed Erdogan's assertion that his supporters were part of a terrorist organization.
Turkish officials believed Gulen gave "blessed" American dollar bills to his followers, and believed that Turks in possession of the US currency could be connected to Gulen, according to the commission. Throughout Turkey, the commission reported, the dollars were presented at national security trials as proof of terrorism in the cases of countless Turkish nationals and others, suspected of participating in the coup.
At Golge's trial, it was no different.
Along with the dollar bill, Turkish authorities claimed that Golge's US passport and his college degree at a Gulen-affiliated university in Turkey proved that he was a Gulenist, despite attending the school on a government scholarship, according to the commission. The Houston Press also reported that his NASA ID card was also used against him as evidence.
The tip, the commission said, came from one of Golge's relatives who had a dispute with him over a family inheritance: The relative claimed Golge worked as a spy for the CIA.
In fact, Golge worked at Johnson Space Center, where he researched the effects of solar radiation on astronauts in space. He lived in a southwest Houston suburb with his wife and two young children, and had moved to the United States in the early 2000s to study physics at Old Dominion University in Norfolk. Both he and his wife, Kubra, became naturalized US citizens in 2010, according to the Press.
Golge's detention and that of the other American citizens, including pastor Andrew Brunson, strained the relationship between the United States and Turkey as the State Department worked to secure their release.
Like Golge, Brunson was also accused of aiding terrorism and being connected to Gulen. Amid tense negotiations for his release last year, Trump imposed economic sanctions on Turkey last August, doubling US tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum. The financial blow came after Erdogan apparently reneged on a deal to free Brunson, as both presidents accused the other of bad faith. Trump eventually lifted the sanctions following Brunson's release in October.
Trump invited Brunson to the White House that month as his evangelical base celebrated the pastor's freedom after two years wrongfully imprisoned. But so far Golge's release has been less high-profile.
State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus announced Golge's release at a press briefing Wednesday, saying, "We will continue to provide all appropriate consular services to Mr. Golge, including making sure he can return home as soon as possible." But she said she could not share any further details.
Trump said Thursday that he and Erdogan "dealt with" Golge's release, and that "it was great." But he did not name Golge throughout his brief comments.
"They released this prisoner, hostage – whatever you want to call him," Trump said. "He's at home custody, in Turkey. He'll be released fairly soon, so that's good news."
A White House spokesman confirmed Trump was referring to Golge, but did not answer questions related to Trump's phone call with Erdogan or the terms of Golge's release, referring questions to the State Department. The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment late Thursday.
It's unclear how long Golge must remain on probation in Turkey, where his wife and children live, or if US officials can negotiate a swifter return. He told NBC News he must check in with local police three times per week.
"The only thing I want right now is to be able to go back to the United States and start working at NASA again as a scientist,," he said.
