A few minutes later we came upon a group of Landing Craft Tanks (LCTs) wallowing in the heavy seas and making about half our speed. I muttered something like 'What the hell are they doing here!' Taylor Fellers, who had been sitting on a bench with his men, joined me and told me the LCTs were carrying tanks scheduled to land before us and lead A Company up the beach. This was a complete surprise to me but it didn't make much difference, as they had no hope of getting there on time. We left them in our wake and never saw them again.
It was beginning to get light and the bombardment by the battleships and cruisers had ceased. I could vaguely make out the French coast through the gloom and noticed puffs of smoke moving along the top of the cliffs. Dismissing the thought that it was the USS Texas emptying its gun barrels, I believed that it was a steam train puffing its way along the coast to Cherbourg.
It was approaching the time to form line abreast and make our dash for the shore. I turned round to see how the other craft were coping. I was just in time to see the bow of LCA 911 dipping into the sea and disappearing below the waves. I believe 911 had been damaged during the collision with 910, whilst lowering the boats from the Javelin. All the crew and soldiers had life jackets and I could only hope they would keep everyone afloat until I returned. It goes against the grain for a sailor to leave his comrades in the sea, but LCA 910 had no room and our orders were explicit that we were to leave survivors in the sea to be picked up later. It was essential to land on time.
A few minutes later as we neared the shore I picked out some nasty looking pill boxes and hoped they were not manned. A group of LCT(R)s - tank landing craft carrying rockets on their decks - came up behind me and launched all their rockets woefully short. Not one came anywhere near the shoreline. The heavy swell must have played havoc with their range finding. I remember shaking my fist in anger.
I then gave the signal to form line abreast and told signalman Webb to stop pumping and take cover. Martin pulled down the cover over his head and was guided by me through slits in his armour-plated cockpit. I was watching a particularly menacing looking pillbox at the mouth of the Vierville sur Mer draw in my binoculars and thinking that if it was manned we were going to be in trouble. There was a loud bang in my right ear and I turned to see a LCG (Landing Craft Gun) blazing away with its 4.7s and scoring direct hits on the pillbox. I wished it could have stayed longer but it disappeared as quickly as it had arrived. I had no idea we were getting support from other landing craft. One of the LCAs in the left flank was hit by an anti-tank bullet, passing through the armour plating on both sides of the boat and catching one of the American troops, who was vary badly injured.

The Times – Behind the buffoon Libyans are fighting for their lives
THE THUNDERER
Doing the rounds on Twitter yesterday was a Vanity Fair story that neatly encapsulated the way Libya has been reported for years. Headlined "Dictator Chic: Colonel Gaddafi —A Life in Fashion", it featured a series of outlandish costumes ranging from Saturday Night Fever to Liberace. That's not how it feels to Libyans on the streets of Tripoli. They are more concerned with snipers and helicopter gunships. They're in a fight for their lives.
I was a child born a year after Gaddafi ousted King Idris, with a father who did business in Libya, so the country was a constant backdrop to my childhood in the Seventies and Eighties, To a small boy, it meant Globetrotter suitcases stuffed with blood oranges, dates, bakhlava and multi-coloured jalabas for my mother and sisters. I was only dimly aware of The Green Book, a trio of slim volumes summarising Gaddafi's political philosophy, as an eccentric souvenir on my father's bookshelves.
Only in the Nineties did I experience first-hand the reality of Gaddafi's Libya. "Don't discuss politics anywhere and under no circumstances mention Gaddafi by name," my father said on my first visit. The mukhabarat (intelligence) officials, reviled as "antenna", were everywhere: in hotel foyers, listening in on telephone calls, doubling as taxi drivers.
Years later, after completing a 1,500-mile journey by camel across the Libyan Sahara, a friend and I were put under house arrest for a week. We were investigated by security officials as suspected foreign spies, harangued daily about British imperialism and warned never to mention Gaddafi by name. Our terrified local guide was subjected to a much harsher grilling. We never discovered what the authorities did to him.
This is a regime in which the disjunction between rhetoric and reality, between clown and butcher, dandy and torturer-in-chief, has been extraordinary. Saif-al-Islam, Gaddafi's son, personifies this reality gap. In 2002, I interviewed him at Claridge's, where he expounded the virtues of democracy without any trace of irony.
To oust Gaddafi in the teeth of such vicious government repression, Libyans are displaying astonishing courage. This is a regime that, like its fellow Middle Eastern police state kleptocracies, has serially failed its people with failed socialism, failed pan-Arabism, failed pan-Africanism, support for international terrorists and with a human rights record best exemplified by the award of the 1998 Gaddafi Prize for Human Rights to Fidel Castro.

Brick Efflorescence
Removing & Preventing
Brick Efflorescence Analysis
Firstly: There must be water-soluble salts present somewhere in the wall.
Secondly: There must be sufficient moisture in the wall to render the salts into a soluble solution.
Thirdly: There must be a path for the soluble salts to migrate through to the surface where the moisture can evaporate, thus depositing the salts which then crystallize and cause efflorescence.
All three conditions must exist.
If any one of these conditions is not present, then efflorescence cannot occur.
Even though the efflorescence problem is complex, it is not difficult to prevent.
Although no economically feasible way exists to totally eliminate any one of these three conditions, it is quite simple to reduce all three and make it nearly impossible for efflorescence to occur.
Brick Efflorescence is the stubborn problem that has caused confusion and trouble for masonry since the first time it appeared thousands of years ago on ancient masonry walls. Efflorescence is normally the white, powdery scum that can appear on masonry walls after construction but can also be brown green or yellow, depending on the type of salts. Nobody likes it, nobody wants it on their walls, but occasionally this persistent problem appears.
Great deals of time, money and effort have been spent trying to solve the difficulties efflorescence generates. Many test programs have been developed and numerous attempts have been made to eliminate this problem. Unfortunately, nothing has proven 100% effective against this very stubborn problem. However, even though no surefire cure has been discovered, a great deal has been learned about how efflorescence works and how to prevent it, and if preventive measures are inadequate, How To Clean Brick or remove the efflorescence if it does appear.
This article explains the mechanics of white efflorescence, how to help prevent efflorescence and some traditional methods used to remove efflorescence from new walls.
Three conditions must exist for efflorescence to occur:
Water-soluble salts must be present.
Moisture must be available to transform salts into a soluble solution.
Salts must be able to move through a material to its surface. The moisture will then evaporate and cause the salts to crystallize, resulting in efflorescence.
Water, rain and snow are the primary sources of moisture and may impact the amount of efflorescence. Condensation, groundwater wicking from interior or exterior also may affect the degree of moisture generation.

Keywords: Adult Vaccination, Health Personnel, Family Physician, Attitude, Knowledge
Objective: The aim of this study was to establish the knowledge and attitude of family phys-cians offering primary health care, towards adult vaccination and their own vaccination coverage. Methods: This descriptive study was performed in May 2009 in Kayseri, Turkey. 282 family physician accepted to fill a questionnaire about adult vaccination. Results: Most of the family physcians (83.0%) thought adult vaccination as a modality of protection and 66.7% wanted a vaccination scheme just like the one in childhood. Their own vaccination rate for Hepatitis B was 67.0% and 58.5% for influenza at any time. Only half of the physcians were vaccinated within the season for influenza. Only 9.2% of the doctors have stated that they ask questions to their patients about their vaccination status. When physcians were questioned about the vaccines they advise to their patients aged 65 and more; 70.6% stated influenza and 39.7% stated pneumococcus. Conclusions: In spite of being in the risk group, family physicians have low vaccination coverage rates. Suggestion of the necessary vaccines to the risk groups or to their patients at risk is low as well.
Specially in the recent years, adult vaccination has gained as much attention as childhood vacci-nation nationwide and worldwide. Many studies have been performed with a variety of suggestions regarding adult vaccination [1-4]. But still, vaccination is not seen as a part of adult health care services, and adult vaccination programs are not as effective and as approachable as they are in childhood [4,5]. Lack of knowledge in physicians and in society, preoccupations concerning the efficacy and side effects of vaccins, not being under the coverage of health insurance, the lack of a national health policy regarding adult vaccination and the economic cost that it brings to the government can all be considered as reasons for insufficient adult vaccination [6-8].
In our country, until very recently vaccination has been considered as a special procedure for children, and apart from some exceptional cases and individual applications, adult vaccination has been neglected. Planning, coordination and continuity in administration are all very important issues in obtaining success [4]. Increasing the awareness of physicians, in other words, dealing with the lack of knowledge, which is accepted as one of the reasons for insufficient adult vaccination, and implementing them to give the necessary importance, will provide success in adult vaccination. physicians should evaluate the adults they see in hospitals or polyclinics, whether healthy or ill, regarding immunization against preventable diseases. They should not miss the opportunity of completing missing vaccines, they should inform the patients about the diseases and the importance of vaccination. According to the guidelines that Turkish Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Specialists Association has prepared, the vaccines that could be administered to adults are diphteria, tetanus, rubella, rubeola, mumps, influenza, pneumococcus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, varicella, and meningococcus [9]. Vaccines that should be administered at risky situations have also been stated in this guideline. Physicians have a high probability of being exposed to these preventable diseases and the risk of infecting their patients is also high, this renders their vaccination coverage to be even more important.
Under this condition, this study was carried out to establish the knowledge and attitude of family physicians offering primary health care, towards adult vaccination and their own vaccination coverage.
This descriptive study was performed in May 2009, comprised the family physicians working in the province of Kayseri. A total of 354 family physicians working in the province were included in the study, and 282 (79.7%) accepted to answer the questionnaire. The aim of the study was explained before an educational meeting directed by the Provincial Directorate of Health, and after getting their verbal consent, the questionnaires were filled under the surveillance of the investigators. The institutional ethics committee of Erciyes University approved this study.
Apart from the questions revealing the descriptive characteristics, their vaccination coverage, their relatives vaccination coverage, which adult vaccines they knew, and their attitude towards suggesting them to their patients were all inquired. To establish which vaccines they would suggest, they were asked to write the vaccines in some given situations. The 2009 report from the Center of Disaease Control and Prevention (CDC) was taken into account in the preparation of the questions regarding risk factors and the age at which the vaccinations should be applied [4].
Statistical analyses were conducted with the SPSS version 15.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Data were shown as number and percents. For the comparison of categorical data Pearson chi-square or Fischer exact tests were used. P < 0.05 was accepted as significant.
The mean age of the physicians in the study group was 39.7 ± 5.8, 67.7% male, 89.9% married and, 53.6% had a work experience of 15 years and above. Out of 280 family physicians 80.0% had stated of working in a primary health care setting before. The percentage distirubition of attitude and behaviour of family physicians regarding adult vaccination was shown in Table 1. Thirty one (11.0%) stated that they had never been vaccinated. Of the physicians that stated they had got an influenza vaccine, only 57.6% had been vaccinated in this season. There was no significant difference in vaccination according to age (p > 0.05, chi-square = 4.312) and gender (p > 0.05, Fisher exact test). Vaccination rate in male was 56.0% and 63.7% in female physicians. Fourty eight physicians started they had a chronic disease. Among the 15 physicians stating that they had diabetes, only six had got an influenza vaccination, and only three of them had a repeat dose during this season. Two of the physicians with diabetes had got a vaccination for pneumococcus. Of the 21 physicians with pulmonary, cardiac or liver disease, 47.6% (10 physicians) have stated that they had got an influenza vaccination and 70.0% of these physicians had it within this season. Only two of these physicians (9.5%) had a pneumococcus vaccination.
Of all the group 67.0% stated they had been vaccinated against hepatitis B and 7.1% stated that they had spontaneous immunization. One hundred and eighty four (65.2%) physicians stated that they had been vaccinated against tetanus and 145 of them remembered the timing, of these 96.6% had got a vaccine within the previous ten years. There were three physicians vaccinated against HPV, two married, one single, aged 26 and 31, and one did not state the age.
The most suggested vaccine by physicians was hepatitis B, and the least suggested one was HPV. There was also no statistically significant difference between gender and suggesting HPV vaccination (p > 0.05, Fisher exact test).
Some aspects of the knowledge, attitude and conduct of the physicians regarding adult vaccination is given in Table 2. The vaccinations they wanted to be included into the routine program were; tetanus (27.7%), influenza (22.0%), pneumococcus (17.4%) and HPV (9.6%). 23.4% of the physicians said that their knowledge about adult vaccination was not sufficient. Tables 3 and 4 show the vaccines suggested to some risk groups and to some disease groups by the family physicians and the opinions of physicians about the main reason regarding the low adult vaccination rates in our country are shown in Table 5.
The risk of health personel of being exposed to diseases preventable by vaccination and of infecting their patients is substantially high. For this reason many health authorities and organizations suggest routine vaccination for health personel [4,10]. Health personel should get a repeat dose of Tdap, and their immunity to rubella-rubiolamumps and varicella should be complete. All people dealing with blood and blood products should be vaccinated against hepatitis B, and every health personel should get an influenza vaccination. Apart from these, some other vaccinations are administered in special situations [11].
Influenza vaccination is suggested to the health personel by CDC, since 1980's. The mainstay of this suggestion is that sick health personel pose the risk of infecting patients at work, and in places with non-vaccinated health personel, hospital born influenza epidemics can be seen [12-14]. Vaccination of health personel decreases patient morbidity and mortality and days out of work, and provides economic contribution to healthcare organizations [15,16]. Many worldwide programs are introduced in order to increase the vaccination rates in health personel

but surprisingly, their is a resistance. In studies performed in various countries, the influenza vaccination rates in health personel was below 50% [17-22]. In our study the rate of having been vaccinated in any season was 58.5% and the ones that were vaccinated this season were only half of these. Further studies should be planned for investigating the reasons why physicians do not get vaccinated for influenza.
Vaccination rate for influenza was higher in female physicians compared to male physicians in our study, but the difference was not significant. In a study peformed by Abramson, this rate was higher in males, but again no significant difference was found [6].
Blood born infectious diseases pose an occupational hazard for health workers. With a circular issued by the Turkish Ministry of Health in December 1996, "immunization of health personel against hepatitis B" program has been started. In a study, performed with health personel that had the risk of contacting patients' blood, in 1995 in a university hospital, 37.0% of the physicians were vaccinated against hepatitis B, and the main reason of not being vaccinated was negligence [23]. In another study performed in Isparta in 2006, vaccination rate was 55.8% [24]. In a study performed in residents of a university hospital the vaccination rate was found to be 88.7% [25]. In studies from USA and France the rate was around 80% - 90% [26,27]. In our study 67.0% of the physicians stated that they were vaccinated against hepatitis B. The rate of spontaneous immunization was 7.1% (Table 1). The reason our rates are not as high might be that the physicians working in the field feel that they are under lower risk compared to the physicians working in hospitals.
When the physicians were questioned about the vaccinations they suggested to health personel, the first three vaccinations were; hepatitis, influenza and tetanus (Table 3). Hepatitis B and influenza are the vaccinations strictly suggested for health personel by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The suggestion rates were low in our study. Studies performed in health personel show that the vaccination rates increase with campaigns and vaccinations made free of charge [26,28]. Results from our study, the low vaccination coverage rates among physicians and the low suggestion rates to health personel, point to the necessity of nationwide arrangements in order to increase the vaccination rates in health personel.
Physicians have stated that the vaccination they suggested most to their patients was hepatitis B and influenza, with a rate of 94.7%, and 84.8% respectively (Table 1). In spite of being in the risk group, their vaccination rates were way behind these rates. Vaccination rates of their first degree relatives were also low. These results bring into mind that, though knowledge about vaccination is sufficient, problems arise in administering them. HPV vaccination has been administered for a shorter period of time, compared to the other vaccinations, so it may not be suggested as much by the physicians.
83.0% of the physicians in our study thought of adult vaccination as a modality of protection (Table 2). In a study, 90% of the physicians stated that they believed that adults should be vaccinated [29]. But in this study only 9.2% of the physicians stated that they questioned vaccination coverage in all of their patients. The inquiry rate in pregnants and patients 65 years old and above was also low. Physicians have stated that they usually question the patients they thought were under risk. Although the physicians in our study group have stated that they inquire about the vaccination coverage in the risk groups and that they thought of adult vaccination as a modality of protection, the fact that even the physicians with a chronic disease had very low vaccination coverage rates, is an inconsistent and thought-provoking result.
The performance of serologic tests to establish the HBV status is a matter of defining hepatitis B prevalence and a problem of cost-effectiveness, it is not suggested in the routine. It was stated in circular number 6856, issued by the Turkish Ministry of Health in June 1998, that "there is no need to measure the markers before and after vaccination in children and adults with normal immune systems". In our study, 77.3% of the physicians stated that they measured the antibody level before vaccination, and 7.8% that they could not because they did not have the facilities. This also can be an obstacle in adult vaccination.
When asked about their suggestions for vaccination in special situations, the rates were substantially low (Table 4). The rate of suggesting influenza to 65 years old and above was 70.6%. In another study, 96.5% of the physicians stated that they suggested routinely influenza vaccination to all their patients in this age group [6]. Again, pneumococcus vaccination suggestion rates in the same age group was 39.7%. Similarly, vaccination suggestion rates were low in other risk groups and in patients under risk.
Studies have established that suggestion by a doctor, has a positive impact on vaccination rates [5,8,28]. The most important reason behind missed opportunities for adult vaccination is the lack of the motivation physicians should provide to their patients [5]. In a study, physicians have explained that the reasons for low vaccination rates were; the refusal of patient to come in for controls, there being no reminding warning system for adult vaccination, and refusal of vaccination itself, for a variety of reasons [29]. The first three factors stated in this study were; lack of time, physicians prioritizing treatment modalities, and patients' refusal of vaccination (Table 5). Although these factors were stated as the reasons for low vaccination rates, the main factor is thought to be the physicians' lack of knowledge.
In studies performed in children, it was established that the education of health personel is effective in raising the vaccination rates [30]. Following the same strategy for adult vaccines in Turkey will surely raise the rates. Having the topic taught at school and by in-training education, knowledge will increase and with it the interest to the topic as well.

Q: How is the d[A] interacting with the integral in the problem? I am pulling from a Chemistry book, attempting to understand this derivation and I'm a tad rusty with integration. Need a quick hand, please.
Given the equation:
$$2N_2O_5(g) \rightarrow 4NO_2(g) + 0_2(g)$$
they give the following rate law:
$$Rate=-\frac{\Delta[N_2O_5]}{\Delta t}=k[N_2O_5] $$
from which they use Calculus to derive:
$$ln\frac{[N_2O_5]_t}{[N_2O_5]_0}=-kt$$
For which they give the general derivation, substituting $[A]$ for $[N_2O_5]$ into the non-integrated rate law.
$$\frac{-d[A]}{dt}=k[A]$$
Rearranging to give:
$$\frac{-d[A]}{[A]}=kdt$$
Integrating from $time=0$ to $time=t$,
$$-\int_{[A]_0}^{[A]_t} \frac{d[A]}{[A]} = k \int_{0}^{t} dt$$
to give:
$$ -\lbrace \ln{[A]_t} - \ln{[A]_0} \rbrace = k(t-0)$$
which you rearrange to get the integrated rate law.
So I remember that $\int_{a}^{b} f(x)=F(b) - F(a)$ and that $\int \frac{1}{x} dx = \ln(x)$. I also recall $\int dx = x$. Where I am held up is that I recall $\int \frac{a}{b} = \int a + \int \frac{1}{b}$. So what is to be said of $\int d[A]$? Does it evaluate to one? In general, what is this?

A: $\int \frac ab \neq \int a + \int \frac 1b$. I think you may be confusing this with integration-by-parts.
As you said $\int dx = x$ (+ constant). So $\int d[A]$ is simply $[A]$ + constant . In your problem, the constant is ignored because the integral is definite, that is with bounds.

The monument consists of 10 golden pillars, around 5 meters high, resembling human fingers. set in a circle, the pillars have two sides: a smooth, contoured side facing towards the center, creating a sense of peace and well being as one stands in the circle. the other side, facing outwards, forms a sharp, unyielding blade. this interactive sculpture will invite visitors to walk in and out of the circle of pillars, to touch the gold, to sit on the small seat cut into each pillar, and to reflect on the artwork and the ideas that inspired it. at one level, the sculpture is a study on the nature and purpose of law in society: to create a space for freedom and human flourishing, while providing protection and security. at another level, the work of art speaks of the universal human quest for peace and spiritual well being.

The hub was set up to advise government and housebuilders on zero-carbon homes. It will be put into a dormant state with its office in London to close, but the hub's website will be maintained.
Co-funded by industry and government the hub went on to transform the way in which policy aspiration was translated into practicable regulation and industry action.
The current government decided to drop the target for all new homes to be Zero Carbon (or something close to it) by 2016 and with it, the hub lost its 'raison d'etre'. With a board comprised of private, public and third sector representatives, they struggled with its 'world-leading' remit.
In the nine months since Osborne's announcement, Zero Carbon Hub was forced to focus on overheating in homes and the energy performance gap – the difference between a building's designed energy performance and actual performance.

Exodus begins at Limerick FC as four players depart club
Colm Kinsella
Limerick FC's Daniel Kearns has left the club
RELEGATION-THREATENED Limerick FC have been dealt a quadruple blow on the eve of their crucial relegation six-pointer with fellow SSE Airtricity League Premier Division strugglers Bray Wanderers at the Markets Field, 7.45pm.
Limerick confirmed on Thursday evening that four squad members, Conor Clifford, Mark O'Sullivan, Henry Cameron and Daniel Kearns have all left the club as the summer transfer window is about to open.
Clifford and O'Sullivan were due to miss Friday night's relegation clash with basement side Bray due to a hamstring injury and suspension respectively.
The fear for Limerick FC manager Tommy Barrett and the club's supporters is that more experienced players are likely to leave the club during the transfer window.
Limerick had hit the headlines last month for the late payment of players wages. It is expected that the Shannonsiders could lose up to six or seven players ahead of the final chunk of league fixtures.
Manager Tommy Barrett thanked the players for their service, stating: "We thank the boys for their professionalism, commitment and effort in their time at the club. They are all good professionals, honest and well committed, and we wish them all well in the future."
Former Chelsea starlet Conor Clifford only signed for Limerick FC back in April of this year. The former Dundalk midfielder had just completed a six-month worldwide ban from football for betting offences. Clifford is now sure to be picked up by another league of Ireland club, with the former Stamford Bridge academy player showing plenty of glimpses of his talents in the blue of Limerick FC.
Mark O'Sullivan, an experienced striker in the league, joined Limerick having helped Waterford to the First Division title last season. At 34, it is not known if O'Sullivan will continue to pursue a career in the League of Ireland, but the former Cork City star should not be short of offers from junior soccer clubs.
Daniel Kearns played with Sligo Rovers and is a former Dundalk and Peterborough United player. Belfast born Kearns moved to West Ham as a teenager but didn't feature for The Hammers first team before departing in 2010. A former Republic of Ireland U-21 international, Kearns returned to play with Dundalk and in 2011 played in the League of Ireland side against Celtic in Dublin's Super Cup. As with Clifford, Kearns is sure to continue his trade in the League.
The final confirmed departure, for now, is New Zealand international Henry Cameron. Signed in July 2017, Cameron has failed to set the World alight during his time at the club. Capped twice by the white caps of New Zealand, Cameron who signed with the club from Blackpool, made just 7 sappearances for the Super Blues.
Second-from-bottom Limerick sit six points clear of bottom side Bray, while the Shannonsiders trail eighth-placed Bohemians by three points.
#LimerickFC can confirm that midfielder Conor Clifford and striker Mark O'Sullivan – who both would have missed Friday through a hamstring injury and suspension respectively – have exited the club, as have New Zealand international winger Henry Cameron and forward Daniel Kearns. pic.twitter.com/Zmsn7g9QWX

Natural gas produced from oil and gas wells primarily consists of methane but can also contain natural gas liquids (NGLs) like ethane, propane, and butane. Because NGLs burn hotter than methane on a per volume basis, gas that is "rich" in NGLs has higher heat content than "lean" gas.
The heat content of the natural gas being received on the Alliance Pipeline System in Alberta and British Columbia (B.C.) has been increasing since 2013, from about 40.5 gigajoules per thousand cubic metres (GJ/1000m³) to over 41.5 GJ/1000m³, indicating that the concentration of NGLs in the natural gas stream has been growing over time. In comparison, other pipelines that export natural gas from Western Canada have heat contents of approximately 38.5 GJ/1000m³. Alliance's gas-gathering area is located where exploration companies have been increasingly targeting rich gas because of the extra revenue they can earn on the co-produced NGLs, thus causing Alliance's heat content to rise.
Description: This chart illustrates the monthly heat content of the Alliance Pipeline's receipt volumes from Alberta and B.C. from January 2012 to May 2015. The monthly heat content is calculated by dividing Alliance's received volumes for each month by their total energy, both of which are obtained from Alliance's Monthly Pipeline Throughput Summary reports. The chart shows how the heat content on Alliance in Alberta and B.C. was fairly constant in 2012, but started to increase steadily over the past two years. The heat content of gas receipts from Alberta increased from 40.40 GJ/1000m³ in January 2012 to 40.57 GJ/1000m³ in January 2013 and 41.59 GJ/1000m³ in the most recent month of May 2015. The heat value of gas receipts from British Columbia increased from 40.33 GJ/1000m³ in January 2012 to 40.41 GJ/1000m³ in January 2013 and 41.82 GJ/1000m³ in the most recent month of May 2015.
Pipelines that ship natural gas out of Western Canada, other than Alliance, must do so with the gas in a regular gaseous state. These pipelines require gas to have lower heat contents, because NGLs can otherwise condense and form liquid droplets in the natural gas stream. Any such misting of the natural gas stream has to be avoided, as it would lower efficiencies and even damage equipment. Most of the NGLs are removed from the gas stream in Western Canada by gas-processing plants (including straddle plants) for use in local markets.
Description: This map shows the location of the Alliance Pipeline System across North America, including head offices and mainline compressor stations.
The Alliance System on the other hand, is unique for a Canadian natural gas pipeline because it ships gas in a high pressure "dense-phase" along the transmission mainline. Compressors on the Alliance mainline increase the gas pressure while cooling bays control the temperature until the natural gas enters a dense phase and will not condense. Alliance can therefore handle higher concentrations of NGLs because the mixture of hydrocarbons, including the methane, exists in this dense phase. This also means shippers on Alliance are able to move minimally-processed rich gas out of Western Canada to Aux Sable's gas-processing facility near Chicago, where the NGLs are then stripped out. The processed natural gas and the NGLs are then sold to Midwest and eastern markets.

Q: Fixing vue data map to group by date as well as employee I currently have a vue component and template in which I'm listing employees and their hours/scans by date. The problem is my current map is totaling all hours and scans by the first record and it's date.
I need to modify this because my table headers are dates (today, tomorrow and the day after). So I need to be able to use a v-if statement for each to compare the date in the column header to the date of the record. In this instance, I should only have one record for employee A123 but I should have 2 records for employee D432 because the two records for that employee have different dates.
How can I also factor date into the unique mapping here?

Vue.config.devtools = false;
Vue.config.productionTip = false;
new Vue({
  el: "#app",
  data: {
    rows: [{
        employee: "A123",
        hours: "15",
        date: "2021-08-31",
        scans: "4"

      },
      {
        employee: "A123",

        scans: "2"

      },
      {
        employee: "D432",
        hours: "40",

          if (!result[value]) {
            result[value] = [];
          }
          result[value].push(item);
        }
      });
      return result;
    }
  },

        return {
          employee: item[0].employee,
          hours: item.reduce((acc, _item) => (+acc) + (+_item.hours), 0),
          scans: item.reduce((acc, _item) => (+acc) + (+_item.scans), 0),
          date: item[0].date

News International has launched Sun Mobile selling Sun-branded content for mobile phones, including Page 3 screen savers, games and ringtones.
Sun Mobile will be accessible to users in more than 130 countries, due to News International's partnership with Bango, which manages content delivery and payment. Around half the traffic for The Sun online comes from the US and Canada.
Guardian Unlimited's efforts to date in this space have been limited to text alerts, which have proven pretty successful. But, like everyone, we're having to think about the way mobile changes people's consumption of news and, more importantly, how it changes their perception of the relationship they have with their news provider.


How is this event structured?
There are autonomous hackathons in various cities united by a single theme: smart cities. They are organized by local leads. Some events will take place on February 21-22, 2015. The others will be held on 7-8 March. On Saturday, participants will gather, form teams and start working. On Sunday, they will present their work. Best projects will receive awards at the discretion of the local organizers. The top 2 projects from each location will be nominated for global recognition.
Is Datafest about data analysis, data mining, machine learning, etc.?
Not necessarily. We love projects heavily focused on data, but not more than any other projects that align well with the smart-city concept. Think of data as in "code v.s. data", rather than data in "big data processing". In other words, data flows through different components so that your awesome system makes the world a smarter place!
Yes, if you are attending a local hackathon in-person. However, if you are planning to participate in the contest virtually, you need to check with the organizer(s) in the city where you wish to present your work.
How do I find or form a team?
Please use social media or our Google Group to find other team members, discuss and pitch your ideas. There will also be volunteers at the event to help you form a team and pitch your idea(s).
I already have an idea for my project. Can I start working on it now?
Absolutely. You can form a team and start structuring your project any time. However, we ask that you do the coding during the event. This is to be fair to those who may get started later.
What do I need to bring to the hackathon?
Bring your laptop, your brainpower and your passion for coding and your desire to contribute to a good cause. If you'll be working on a hardware project, bring the kit. Also, check local event's webpage for any requirements specific to your location.
There is no hackathon in my city. Can I compete virtually at an event in another city?
Absolutely. Please see the Participation page for more details.
I want to organize a hackathon in my city as part of this Datafest. What should I do?
Please email us at teresabouza@datafest.net. Also, check out our Hackathon Planning Guide.
I have a question not covered by this FAQ.


The camphor or camphor laurel tree (Cinnamomum camphora) is native to China, Japan and Taiwan with botanically similar sub-species now growing in many other countries.
A member of the Lauraceae family, camphor trees are tall evergreens with a spreading canopy made of glossy, bright green aromatic leaves that smell of camphor when crushed.
The pale wood of the tree is insect-resistant with a long lasting aroma and delicate texture that has been used in construction, cabinet making and for wood carvings in temples and shrines throughout history. Camphor oil was originally harvested from fissures in the rough bark that exude an oil which subsequently hardens.
Stately camphor trees from the distant past still grow to this day close to Buddhist and Taoist shrines.
Natural camphor had applications as a culinary spice, medicinal, insect repellent and component of incense for many centuries.
C. camphora produces a wide variety of essential oils. There are six different chemical variants or chemotypes: camphor, linalool, 1,8-cineole, borneol, nerolidol and safrole.
The chemotypes are dependent on the geographical origin of the tree and part of the tree used e.g leaf or wood/bark.
The Japanese true camphor tree or "Hon-sho" yields an oil that has 50% or more of camphor constituent. Camphor trees in India or Sri Lanka are also a source of camphor-rich oil.
Camphor trees with the safrole chemotype from China are a source of Chinese sassafras oil, a safrole dominant fraction from the crude oil distilled from C. camphora. Camphor oil production centers around the Guangdong, Guangsi, Jiangsi and Fujian provinces.
C. camphora grown in Madagascar yields a 1,8-cineole chemotype varying between 50-70% that is commercially known as ravintsara. The high concentration of cineole in this variant gives the oil fresh, eucalyptus type notes.
Ho essential oil or "Shiu" oil is steam distilled from the wood and leaf of the camphor tree ct.linalool in its native habitat of China, Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam, also known as "Ho-sho".
The trees grown in this region produce an oil with a linalool component between 70-90% and small quantities of camphor, gamma-terpinene and myrcene. Ho wood essential oil provides an alternative to rosewood essential oil, now endangered due to over- harvesting, as both share a similar aromatic profile and high proportion of linalool.
Ho wood oil acts as a top to middle note in a blend and its delicate, woody-floral aroma can be utilised as a blender-modifier in a variety of aromatic compositions.
The dominance of the aromatic monoterpene alcohol, linalool, in Ho wood oil, bestows a warm, dainty, slightly rosy, sweet, woody fragrance to the oil.
It can be blended seamlessly with essential oils such as ylang ylang, cedarwood, coriander, geranium, frankincense, rose, mandarin, orange, tangerine, lavender and sandalwood.
In perfumery, Ho wood is a valuable element in floral, floriental and fougere type fragrances.
Ho wood essential oil from China is a component of the Scentcillo Starlet blend. Its diffusive scent melds with the floral essential oils to gently enhance their radiance and feminine qualities.

A "completely unacceptable" 40 per cent of Barbadians dig into their own pockets to pay for their health care, placing them at risk of financial hardship, Lecturer in Medical Science at the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies Dr Natasha Sobers-Grannum has said.
Dr Sobers-Grannum identified this as one of many inequities and imbalances that have led to deterioration in the quality of the delivery of health care here and called for restructuring of the system.
"From a World Health Organization perspective when you have persons paying out of pocket for health care it means that they are at immediate risk of financial hardship. That is problematic and it is unsustainable. If for no other reason, the mere fact that 40 per cent of Barbadians are opting for out of pocket health care, policymakers should be thinking of change," Dr Grannum said last night as she addressed a town hall meeting in the assembly hall of The Alexandra School in Speightstown, St Peter, which explored ways to sustainably finance the country's health care system.
She pointed out that in an attempt to correct this challenge to health care delivery, most countries have opted for mandatory health insurance.
The leading academic complained about inequities in the system, which she said had a telling effect on the poor.
She pointed to her research on imbalances based on educational and economic backgrounds and gender biases and how these imbalances impact health care.
"There are persons who cannot afford what is becoming basic investigations. There are persons who would go in with a heart condition and they cannot afford an echocardiogram, for example. If you have money $400 looks like nothing to you, but if you do not have any money $400 looks like a lot. You may have to go on a six-month waiting list. That is our reality and these are the inequities that currently exist in the health care system.
"We are talking about universal health coverage because these inequities exist. Part of the definition of universal health coverage says that not only do we make sure that people do not experience financial hardship, but we have to look at reducing inequities. Actually there should be no inequities. There should be no imbalances in the way we experience in the system. It should not matter if you are a man or a woman. Your educational status should not matter, but it does matter. It is starting to matter in Barbados," Dr Sobers-Grannum added.
The UWI lecturer acknowledged that Barbados had a good health system in place, but contended that in recent times the quality of service offered has left a lot to be desired.
She made reference to "long waiting times" at health facilities and "persistent" complaints of critical pharmaceutical shortages.
Dr Grannum dismissed suggestions that the system simply needed "tweaking", insisting that it must be restructured in order to eliminate the inequalities and improve the quality of service.
The Ministry of Health has organized a series of town hall meetings to solicit the public's input as it seeks an answer to the $700 plus annual health care bill.
At one such meeting last week, Director of the Chronic Disease Research Centre at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, Dr Alafia Samuels was among those arguing strongly for Government to impose a "fat tax" on overweight Barbadians.
Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler, in an interview with Barbados TODAY, ruled out the proposed "fat tax", warning that any such move by Government to levy Barbadians based on their eating habits would be "grossly discriminatory".
However, he did not rule out the possibility that other revenue-generating measures would be imposed on the vital health sector when he presents the upcoming budget.
People who can afford it will go to a private doctor. That doesn't put them in financial risk. What you are saying is flawed. You can't paint everybody with the same brush.
True, not everyone who is paying is doing so because they can comfortably afford it. Some people find themselves in situations that they can't afford to wait, either because of the time to get an appointment or the fact that hospital facilities are unavailable!
I think an important point though is that patients should not have to suffer the indignity or uncertainty (with the resulting stress) of not knowing that they can get care – or even the best care – because of finances, at the time they least need to worry.
While larger, more vibrant economies are trying to work out how they can achieve free high quality care for citizens, we appear bent on deconstructing our system which really requires stricter discipline and oversight.
Are these statistics correct ? Is it that 40 percent of Barbadians are paying out of pocket for health care OR is it that 40 percent of the over $700 million ( and it is $700 million, not $700) spent annually on health care in Barbados is spent by Barbadians out of pocket?
This is the same issue, who could afford to go , private , do so , this takes the strain of the public system, the problem with everything public in Barbados , is failing or has failed ,because of bad polical management.. we were told Barbados has become or becoming a middle class society, so they..
This article shows the continuing ridiculous attitude of the Barbados people. Many persons with money are using private doctors and not burdening the system, which should not be the focus point but the focus should be on the upgrade of the QEH.
Also I agree with mandatory Health Insurance in Barbados, it will help aid in the financial and work strain placed on the health care system. Barbadians have their priorities wrong, they will cry and plea heath care is to expensive and health insurance is to much as well. But will have the latest cell phone if not two, brand name bags and enough money in gold jewellery to start a small business. They then turn around and go in A&E because their head hurts or for a stomach ache, and complain that they didn't get through.
The staff at the QEH do a fantastic job with the financial resources and man power they are provided with and I applaud their efforts.
Could the QEH be of a better standard? Yes! but that is for the government to allocate or raise funds to improve the situation. Overall the health care system in Barbados can not be improved until we ourselves choose to take steps to improve ourselves as well as help to improve the system.
