Argility SkyData IOT platform to fast-track SA business IOT optimisation
ajustus Oct 6, 2017
South African businesses can now integrate the broad spectrum of their IOT devices into a single management platform to support advanced workflow, compliance, analytics and reporting.
South African technology innovator, Argility, has officially launched its comprehensive IOT framework, SkyData, to enable local enterprises to integrate, manage and optimise their growing IOT ecosystems.
Already successfully implemented in local enterprises of major pharmacy/retail chains and Coltempo Salami production facilities, the Argility SkyData platform forms the foundation of Argility's IOT portfolio, which was developed in partnership with SkyData Communications and various sensor hardware providers.
Argility CEO, Marko Salic, says the SkyData IOT platform was developed to meet growing local demand: "As the infrastructure in South Africa has developed, so has the need to collect huge amounts of data while digitising and optimising processes. As the price of sensors and devices drops and machine to machine communication standards such as MQTT are developed, everything around us will exchange data, becoming one big Internet of things," he says.
Salic notes that IOT is delivering significant efficiency, risk management and compliance returns for industries across all sectors, in areas such as predictive maintenance, logistics, security, smart metering, asset tracking and connected operational intelligence.
"However, traditionally, enterprises seeking to harness IOT typically had to roll out multiple platforms to manage each suite of IOT endpoints. SkyData simplifies the ecosystem," says Salic.
Neil Michelson, CEO of SkyData Communications, notes: "Enterprises are fast recognising the value IOT delivers. In businesses where cold chain management is mission critical, for example, IOT systems are being introduced to replace manual temperature measurement; giving companies ongoing, accurate temperature controls, alerts and reporting. But if a producer wanted the temperature probe system integrated with motion detectors, flow meters, and door open and close monitoring, they would have needed multiple IOT platforms. SkyData is an open platform that allows all IOT systems to be integrated and monitored."
SkyData has multiple integration levels, allowing organisations to collect and process data from any machine or sensor, merge it with transactional data and unstructured information, and set up rules to trigger alarms and notifications to manage the device or machine. The platform also supports the addition of capabilities such as predictive analytics, machine learning and data visualisation and reporting. Designed to serve as the foundation of the IOT ecosystem, the Argility SkyData IOT platform is highly scalable and configurable.
Salic notes that this robust cloud platform uses a web-based administration and configuration dashboard, and offers multiple two-way communications/integration methods including REST, JMS, MQTT and socket based. IOS and Android mobile applications provide insight and notifications in real-time, and multiple pre-existing ICASA certified devices and sensors are integrated and available for use to solve real world challenges.
The scalable, low latency SkyData platform is capable of sending and receiving messages from millions of connected sensors and devices, within a secure and resilient environment.
"Businesses need to have real-time visibility of their operations and assets for quick and informed decision making. With IOT, it is now possible to connect machines and devices to achieve this, and with SkyData, it becomes possible to manage and enhance the value of the IOT environment," concludes Salic.

Tehran eyes growing trade with Muscat: official
Business 29 January 2010 11:52 (UTC+04:00)
The Iranian deputy commerce minister said his country is pursuing ground-breaking measures to expand trade ties with Oman.
Babak Afqahi met with the Omani commerce minister in Muscat on Tuesday and stated that trade between the two countries had grown tremendously in the past few years, the Mehr News Agency reported.
He said that Iran Trade Center, which will be inaugurated in Oman tomorrow, can further promote business between the two countries.
Iran is willing to take part in oil swap deals between Oman and Turkmenistan and wants Muscat to send to Iran its oil specialists and investors in this regard, he said.
Afqahi added that Iran can dispatch engineers and technicians to carry out dam and power plant projects in Oman, further adding that the two sides should establish a joint shipping company.
Elsewhere, in a separate meeting between Afqahi and the Omani deputy commerce minister, the Iranian official called on the Islamic state to promote its ties with Iran in the fields of information technology, cement, textiles, foodstuff and nanotechnology.
He called on the Omani officials to grant port and bank concessions to Iranians to help expand their transactions with that country, and said that Omani businesses can take advantage of Iranian transit routes to other countries.
The Iranian official said he was glad that a work committee had been established to follow up on the negotiations between the two countries, and expressed hope that the neighboring Islamic state has the impetus to foster trade relations with Iran.
Oman is actively pursuing a development plan that focuses on diversification, industrialization, and privatization, with the objective of reducing the oil sector''s contribution to GDP to 9% by 2020.
Oman actively seeks private foreign investors, especially in the industrial, information technology, tourism, and higher education fields.

Latest coronavirus news as of 12pm on 30 September
Analysis supports vaccinating children aged 12 to 17
The benefits of offering two doses of covid-19 vaccine to all children aged 12 to 17 in England clearly outweigh the risks given the current high case rates, according to a new analysis. Children aged 12 to 15 are currently being offered only one dose of covid-19 vaccine unless they are considered high risk.
Researchers estimated the covid-19 hospital admissions and deaths, plus cases of long covid, that would be prevented over four months by fully vaccinating all children in this age group. On 15 September, the case rate among 10 to 19-year-olds in England stood at 680 cases per 100,000. If the rate rises to 1000 per 100,000, vaccination could avert 4420 hospital admissions and 36 deaths over a 16-week period, the study estimated. At a lower case rate of 50 per 100,000, vaccination could avert 70 admissions and two deaths over the same period.
Vaccination would avert between 8000 and 56,000 cases of long covid, the study suggests, assuming that between 2 and 14 per cent of teenagers with covid-19 go on to experience long covid. The study will be published today in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine.
"This analysis shows that, on clinical risks alone, vaccination is warranted for 12 to 17-year-olds in England," said Deepti Gurdasani of Queen Mary University of London, lead author of the study. "While we wait to understand the long-term effects of covid-19 on children, the precautionary principle advocates for protecting all children from exposure to this virus and vaccination is a crucial part of that protection."
The rate of coronavirus transmission in the UK is currently thought to be highest among secondary school age children, with 2.8 per cent in this group testing positive in the most recent figures from the Office for National Statistics on 18 September.
The UK Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) previously decided that, while the benefits of vaccination of children aged 12 to 15 do outweigh the risks, those benefits aren't big enough to justify a vaccination programme for this age group. However, it wasn't in the JCVI's remit to consider how vaccination of 12-to-15-year-olds would prevent school absences or curb the spread of the virus in communities. Taking factors like these into account, the UK's Chief Medical Officers recommended that 12-to-15-year-olds be offered a single dose of the vaccine.
Other coronavirus news
The UK government's furlough scheme, which has helped pay the wages of 11.6 million workers since the start of the pandemic, is ending today. Nearly one million workers were expected to be still on the scheme at the end of September, according to the Office for National Statistics. Economists have predicted that the end of the scheme will lead to a rise in the rate of unemployment, which stood at 4.6 per cent last month.
YouTube says it will remove videos that contain misinformation about all vaccines, expanding its policies around health misinformation which had been strengthened during the coronavirus pandemic. The Google-owned video platform said its ban on covid-19 vaccine misinformation, which was introduced last year, has seen 130,000 videos removed so far as a result, but more scope is needed to clamp down on broader false claims about other vaccines appearing online. Under the new rules, any content which falsely alleges that any approved vaccine is dangerous and causes chronic health problems will be removed, as will videos that include misinformation about the content of vaccines.

Over a third of people recovering from covid-19 have at least one long covid symptom between 3 and 6 months after infection, a study has found. The finding is based on health records from over 270,000 people in the US. The most common reported symptoms were anxiety or depression, in 15 per cent of participants who'd had covid-19, followed by abnormal breathing and abdominal symptoms, both seen in 8 per cent, and fatigue, in 6 per cent.
These symptoms are not necessarily related to covid-19, but the study compared their prevalence in people recovering from covid-19 and in people who'd had influenza, and found that, together, a set of 9 symptoms were 1.5 times more common after covid-19 than after the flu. Long covid symptoms were slightly more common in women than in men, and more common in those who had been hospitalised.
Attempts to estimate the prevalence of long covid have produced widely varying results, depending on how the condition is defined and measured. Recent figures from the UK Office for National Statistics suggested that 11.7 per cent of people who tested positive for covid-19 described themselves as experiencing long covid 12 weeks after infection, but only 3 per cent experienced symptoms continuously for at least 12 weeks.
People receiving a third dose of coronavirus vaccine experience similar rates of side effects to those receiving their second dose, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Out of 12,500 people who completed a survey, 79 per cent reported local reactions such as itching or pain at the injection site, while 74 per cent reported systemic reactions, which were mainly fatigue, muscle aches and headaches.
Pfizer and BioNTech have submitted trial data for their covid-19 vaccine in 5-to-11-year-olds to the US medicines regulator, and say they will make a formal request for emergency authorisation in coming weeks.
The Scottish government will delay the enforcement of vaccine passports by two weeks, first minister Nicola Sturgeon has said, giving businesses until 18 October to comply with the new law. People over 18 will have to show proof of vaccination to attend a nightclub or large event under the policy.

Survey of children in England finds younger ages more hesitant about vaccination
Younger children appear to be less willing to have a covid-19 vaccination than older teenagers, according to a survey of more than 27,000 students aged between nine and 18 in England. Overall, half the respondents said they were willing to have a coronavirus vaccination, 37 per cent said they were undecided and 13 per cent said they wanted to opt out. However, just over a third of nine-year-olds said they are willing to have a covid-19 jab, compared with 51 per cent of 13-year-olds and 78 per cent of 17-year-olds.
The survey was carried out in schools across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Merseyside between May and July this year by researchers at the University of Oxford, University College London (UCL) and the University of Cambridge. The findings come after 12-to-15-year-olds in England and Scotland last week started to get vaccinated.
Young people who believe they have had covid-19 already were more likely to say they will opt out of having a vaccine, the survey found. Students who were more hesitant about getting the jab were also more likely to attend schools in deprived areas, report spending longer on social media, and say they feel as though they did not identify with their school community.
Researchers are calling for more resources and information to be provided to communities and students to ensure young people know the covid-19 vaccine is safe. They say health messaging about vaccine safety and its effects on children should be shared by trusted sources on social media.
The survey found that the majority of youngsters who said they were hesitant about getting the vaccine were still undecided. "That is a huge opportunity for us, but it also suggests that there is risk," said Russell Viner, a study author from UCL. "Young people are potentially vulnerable to those pushing views that are very strongly opposed to vaccination."
Some headteachers have reportedly been targeted by hoax letters with misinformation about the vaccine programme, which include a fake NHS logo and a "consent checklist" to share with students. A school in Ampthill, Bedfordshire, has apologised for passing the letter on to parents in error.
Smokers are 80 per cent more likely to be admitted to hospital and significantly more likely to die from covid-19 than non-smokers, new research shows. The study, published in the journal Thorax, is the first of its kind to look at both observational and genetic data on smoking and coronavirus. It included 421,469 participants in the UK Biobank study, with outcome data up to 18 August 2020. The results showed that, compared with never-smokers, current smokers were twice as likely to die with covid-19 if they smoked one to nine cigarettes a day, while those smoking 10 to 19 cigarettes a day were almost six times more likely to die. People who smoked more than 20 a day were over six times more likely to die compared to people who had never smoked.
Vaccine passports would be required for those attending nightclubs, music venues, festivals and sports grounds in England under the government's autumn and winter contingency Plan B. The proposed plan, published today, will only be introduced if the country faces a difficult winter with rising covid-19 cases in the colder months, the government said. The government is asking for views from businesses, event organisers, and venue operators on its proposals by 12 October.

Neutralising antibodies in breast milk may protect infants from covid-19 infection
Breastfeeding women who have had covid-19 secrete neutralising antibodies against the virus into their breast milk for up to 10 months after infection, according to research presented at a conference. Rebecca Powell at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York and her colleagues analysed breast milk samples from 75 women who had recovered from a covid-19 infection. They found that 88 per cent of the samples contained antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and in most cases they were capable of neutralising the virus.
The findings, presented at the Global Breastfeeding and Lactation Symposium on 21 September, suggest that breastfeeding could help to protect babies from getting infected with covid-19. This is known to be the case for other respiratory diseases such as influenza and pertussis. While young children are at lower risk from severe covid-19 than adults, around one in 10 infants below the age of one require hospital care if they are infected. Antibodies extracted from breast milk could also be used as a therapy for adults with covid-19, Powell told The Guardian.
The study also found that the majority of women who had the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines also had coronavirus-specific antibodies in their breast milk, but lower levels of antibodies were seen in milk from women who had the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. This supports previous research suggesting that vaccinations for breastfeeding mothers can help to protect their babies from covid-19 infection, although this has not yet been demonstrated conclusively.
The covid-19 pandemic has led to the biggest fall in life expectancy in western Europe since the second world war, researchers have found. The study, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, included data from 29 countries, 22 of which saw a drop in life expectancy that was greater than half a year in 2020. The effects were larger for men than women in most countries. Men in the US saw the biggest fall, with 2.2 years taken off their life expectancy in 2020 compared with 2019.
Australian authorities have announced plans to lift restrictions gradually in Sydney, which has been in lockdown since June. Restaurants, retail stores and gyms can begin to reopen on 11 October, but only people who are fully vaccinated will be allowed to resume shopping, eating out, and some other activities. Around 60 per cent of people aged 16 and over are currently fully vaccinated in the state of New South Wales.

Deaths from covid-19 lead to drop in life expectancy for boys born in UK
Life expectancy for men in the UK has fallen for the first time in four decades, due to the impact of the covid-19 pandemic. New figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) suggest that a boy born between 2018 and 2020 is expected to live for 79 years, compared with 79.2 years for births between 2015 and 2017. For women, life expectancy remains unchanged at 82.9 years. The estimates are calculated based on current mortality rates, which were unusually high in 2020, especially for men.
The figures do not mean a baby born in 2018-2020 will live a shorter life, says Pamela Cobb from the ONS Centre for Ageing and Demography. "To get a better estimate of this we need to consider how mortality and therefore life expectancy will improve into the future. It will be several years before we understand the impact, if any, of coronavirus on this," she says.
Covid-19 vaccines have prevented 123,100 deaths in England, according to new estimates. The figures, which have been calculated by Public Health England and the University of Cambridge, cover the period up to 17 September. Previous estimates had put the number at 112,300 deaths. Around 23.9 million infections have also been prevented by the vaccine rollout, along with 230,800 hospital admissions among people aged 45 and over. More than 89 per cent of all people aged 16 and over in England have now received at least one dose of vaccine, while nearly 82 per cent are fully vaccinated.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has endorsed booster vaccines for people aged 65 and over and those with underlying health conditions, following the authorisation from the Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday. The CDC's panel of advisers declined to support booster vaccines for people in jobs with a high risk of exposure to the virus, such as healthcare workers, but CDC director Rochelle Walensky decided to include this category in the agency's recommendation. The advice applies to people who have already had two doses of Pfizer/BioNTech covid-19 vaccine at least six months ago.

US regulator authorises boosters for older people, but rejects broader rollout
The US medicines regulator has authorised coronavirus booster vaccines for people aged 65 and over, people at high risk of severe disease and those who are regularly exposed to the virus, such as healthcare workers. The decision means that these groups can start to receive a third dose of Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine 6 months after their second dose. Those who have had other vaccines will have to wait for further approvals.
Pfizer had asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to allow extra doses for all people aged 16 and over, but the FDA panel concluded that there was insufficient evidence to support boosters for the wider population beyond high-risk groups. A separate advisory committee for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which determines US vaccine policy, is expected to issue guidance today which may include recommendations on which groups should qualify as high risk. The US has already given extra vaccines to over 2 million people with compromised immune systems.
The US will donate 500 million more covid-19 vaccines to other countries, president Joe Biden has announced at a virtual summit on the pandemic, bringing the country's total donations to over 1 billion doses. Delivery of the new tranche will begin in January. At a United Nations General Assembly meeting yesterday, leaders from developing nations including the Philippines, Peru and Ghana condemned wealthier nations for failing to share vaccines equitably.
New travel rules for England that require travellers from some countries to quarantine even if they are fully vaccinated have sparked outrage and bewilderment, The Guardian reports. Under the rules, travellers to England who have been fully vaccinated with Oxford/AstraZeneca, Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna or Janssen vaccines in the US, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea or a European Union country are exempt from quarantine, but people who received the same vaccines in other countries must quarantine for 10 days after arrival. Doctors and politicians from India, Brazil and Nigeria are among those who have expressed anger about the rules.
Winter forecast: A government scientific advisory committee has said that the number of people in England admitted to hospital with the coronavirus could rise to between 2000 and 7000 a day over the next few months. Here's why the predictions for winter are so bleak, despite high vaccination rates.

More than one in a hundred school children in England have covid-19, but absences are lower than in July because whole classes no longer isolate
About 1.2 per cent of school children in England were absent due to confirmed or suspected covid-19 on 16 September, according to new figures from the UK's Department for Education. This compares with 1.0 per cent in July before schools closed for the summer holidays. Most schools reopened in September having removed some social distancing restrictions, including mask-wearing and keeping children within "bubbles" – small groups usually consisting of one or a few classes. Under this system the whole bubble would bel sent home to isolate if one member tested positive. Now, under-18s do not have to stay at home and isolate if they have been in contact with someone who has tested positive – only if they themselves develop symptoms or have a positive test result.
The new rules mean that while there is currently a higher rate of covid-19 infections among under-18s, fewer children have to miss school because of isolation rules. The total rate of covid-19-related absences was 1.5 per cent on 16 September, compared with 14.3 per cent in July. "These national figures mask some significant issues arising at a local level, and we already know of schools that are struggling to keep classes open due to outbreaks occurring," Paul Whiteman, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers told The Guardian.
Australia will reopen its borders for international travel by Christmas at the latest, the country's Tourism Minister Dan Tehan said today. Meanwhile in the state of Victoria, teachers and childcare workers have been told that they must be fully vaccinated against covid-19 before they return to work next month.
The Johnson & Johnson "single-dose" covid-19 vaccine is more effective after two doses, the firm said yesterday. A second dose of the jab given eight weeks after the first led to people being 94 per cent less likely to get a symptomatic infection compared with those who were unvaccinated, in a US trial. Just one dose was 66 per cent effective in the first month after vaccination. Giving the second dose six months after the first led to an even higher rise in antibodies.

Isotopes suggest ancient turquoise mine was prolific
Few minerals are more iconic in the Desert Southwest than turquoise. The blue-green gemstone, which offers a stark contrast to the dusty red southwestern deserts, has been coveted for thousands of years by indigenous peoples, conquering Spaniards and now by a growing market around the world. Despite its past and present cultural significance, especially among indigenous populations, little is known about the early history of turquoise mining. Researchers have now uncovered previously unknown details about a historic turquoise mining site in Arizona that suggest it was more prolific than once thought.

Turkey DNA reveals Mesa Verde denizens moved to New Mexico
The Mesa Verde region of southern Colorado was home to as many as 30,000 Puebloans through the middle of the 13th century, until severe drought drove them south into New Mexico, ending the cliff dwellers' reign. In a new study, researchers have charted this mass migration using mitochondrial DNA from a novel source: turkey bones from the domesticated birds kept by Puebloans in both Mesa Verde and northern New Mexico.

Down to Earth With: Ethnogeologist Steven Semken
As a boy growing up in New Jersey, Steven Semken was fascinated by rocks and minerals. His father, a banker, and his mother, a municipal tax collector, loved to travel and frequently indulged their son's yen for sparkling specimens. They also bought Semken numerous books about geography and geology, including "The Big Golden Book of Geology," which made such an impression that his childhood copy still sits on his office shelf. Semken vividly remembers staring at the book's picture of Ship Rock, a towering volcanic neck on the Navajo Nation in northwestern New Mexico. Little did he know that he would later spend 15 years living and teaching geology with that Ship Rock as a backdrop.

Kennewick Man related to modern Native Americans
After two decades of controversy surrounding the origins of Kennewick Man — a 9,000-year-old skeleton found on the banks of the Columbia River in Washington state — a genomic analysis has revealed that he was, in fact, related to modern Native Americans. The 1996 discovery of the well-preserved skeleton led to a protracted legal battle among scientists, Native American tribes and the federal government over the disposition of the remains, and sparked a scientific debate about the origins of the first Americans.

July 28, 1996: Kennewick man is discovered
On the evening of July 28, 1996, archaeologist James Chatters received an unexpected call at his home in Richland, Wash., from the local coroner. Two spectators at the local hydroplane races had found a skull in Columbia Park on the banks of the Columbia River near Kennewick, Wash. The coroner wanted Chatters, a paleontologist and forensic anthropologist affiliated with Central Washington University who often consulted for Benton County, to look at the skull and determine if it belonged to a recent murder victim. When the coroner arrived with the skull in a 5-gallon bucket, Chatters had scant notion that the discovery would end up challenging the reigning theory of the origins of the first Americans and would embroil scientists in a protracted, precedent-setting legal battle against the federal government.

"Breaking the chain of transmission is the best tool for preventing further variants from emerging," she explained. "If you wait to get vaccinated, you may become an incubator for the virus to replicate and mutate."
Link said people who take a "wait-and-see approach" to the vaccine are taking a chance with their life, since even people without underlying conditions can develop critical complications from COVID-19 and die.
"People may say enough isn't known about the long-term safety of the vaccine, but we also have no idea about the long-term effects of a COVID-19 infection," she said. "Right now, what we do know is that the safety data surrounding the vaccine is strong, and the risk-benefit balance really favors the vaccine."
Link expressed optimism about where the United States is now compared to a year ago.
"If we get vaccinated, wear masks, stay six-feet apart and socialize with our friends outdoors, we're in a better position to have these numbers be much lower this summer," she said.

/ Gold charges up electron by electron
Gold charges up electron by electron
July 22, 2004 By Mark Peplow This article courtesy of Nature News.
Scientists master fresh aspect of atomic manipulation.
Ever since Don Eigler spelled out the letters 'IBM' using 35 xenon atoms in 1989, nanotechnology researchers have strived for ever more control over the building blocks of matter.
That control has now reached a new level. Instead of moving atoms individually, IBM scientists say that they can change their electrical charge, electron by electron.
"People have been moving atoms around for ten years. Here they go one step further, leaving the atoms where they are but changing their status," says Karsten Horn, a physicist at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin, Germany.
The electrical charge of an atom is one of its most fundamental properties. It influences the way the atom reacts with the rest of the world, and also how the atom transfers electricity to its neighbours.
Jascha Repp, a physicist at IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory in Switzerland, and his team used a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) to deliver a single electron to individual gold atoms, giving each one a negative charge. Invented in the 1980s, an STM contains a tip that narrows to an atom-sharp point. As the microscope scans over a surface, individual atoms change the electrical current flowing through the tip.
"Lots of scientists will read this paper and rush off to try it for themselves"
Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, Berlin
Scientists normally use this information to build a three-dimensional map of the atomic bumps and hollows on a surface. But Repp's research, published in Science1 this week, proves that the tip can also deliver electrons to the surface atoms as it moves across them, with exquisite precision. The STM can also go back over the gold atoms and sense whether they are neutral or negatively charged.
Repp's team plans to use the technique to test new materials for useful electrical properties. "On the long timescale, we are trying to find alternatives to conventional semiconductors," says Repp. "Electronics on the atomic-length scale gives you components that are 10,000 times smaller and that create a lot less heat."
He adds that a string of neutral and negative gold atoms could theoretically store information, like the series of 'on' or 'off' switches that forms the basis of binary computing. But he admits that such a device may be decades away from reality.
Writing with atoms
Don Eigler's 1989 piece of nano-art was a key moment in the development of the nascent science of nanotechnology. It proved that applying a voltage to the tip of an STM could transform the microscope into a pair of tweezers to move individual atoms around2.
At the time, Eigler could only make his atoms sit still at a frosty -269 °C, just four degrees above absolute zero, the coldest temperature possible. At higher temperatures the thermal energy of the atoms caused them to dislodge from the surface.
But his experiment laid the foundations for the manipulation of molecules at room temperature, which was achieved just a few years later3. Repp has carried out his experiments at about -269 °C, but he hopes that progress in atom charging will turn up the heat just as quickly.
"This has wonderful potential for science. Lots of scientists will read this paper and rush off to try it out for themselves in the lab," says Horn.

PORTSMOUTH—Over 150 people gathered Wednesday passing plates of turkey, bowls of stuffing and baskets of bread to one another at tables inside the Greek Orthodox Church in Portsmouth.
In its 40th year, the dinner is hosted annually by the Portsmouth Rotary Club. Members, volunteers and donations of food make the event possible.
"We're very thrilled that we have the participation that we have," Betsy Scott, Rotary member, said. The YMCA also aids in compiling the feast.
Nancy Notis, Rotary member and Portsmouth hospital employee, said without the support of the local community, they wouldn't be able to pull the meal off. Specifically, she mentions the support received from Portsmouth Regional Hospital, who donates 100 percent of the food.
All the food for the event is also cooked by staff of PRH.
While many enjoy the meal at the church, which in past years was held at South Church, 130 meals delivered in the area by 15 drivers, including 40 meals delivered to sailors stationed in Portsmouth aboard the USS Virginia. Preparation and setting up of tables and chairs began Wednesday, and cooking kicked off at 9 a.m. Thursday. "It really is a community effort," Betsy Scott, Rotary member, said. Many of the people in attendance, who enjoyed holiday tunes from Leif Garjoy from Betty's Dream, come for the socialization. "We have a lot of people who come just to be with people," she said. Notis was impressed by the volunteers who adjust dinner times and gatherings with their families to help out with this Thanksgiving dinner, complete with a variety of 140 homemade pies.
"I'd be shocked if anyone leaves here hungry," she said. Aileen Dugan, co-chair of the Rotary, said they chose this church because it was handicap-accessible, providing a place to eat for more people of the community. Lila Couture, of Portsmouth, said she really enjoys the day because of the people who make it possible. "It's pretty good. They're very pleasant and always ask what you need," she said, adding the event is a nice place to go where you can see friends. David Blais enjoyed a meal here for the second year with his wife, Susan Donovan. For a while, he said, times were really rough for him, and the church has been a great place to enjoy a meal and company. This year he's thankful for a new job he loves at and steady employment. Marylou Collins volunteers each year with the Senior Companion Program which has 81 members in the Portsmouth area. She gets seniors to the dinner who wouldn't otherwise have transportation. The many volunteers who come together give this event it's meaning. Frank Nappo who co-chairs the Rotary said he got his kids, who are now teenagers, involved volunteering early in their lives hoping to broaden their understanding of the holidays beyond the excitement of presents at Christmas. "You look for an opportunity to do something as a family and give back, " he said.


There have been many developments in national and European financial markets regulation during the past month, such as the publication of a draft bill implementing the Recovery and Resolution Directive. In addition, the Dutch parliament has clarified the tax treatment of CoCos.
Supervisory authorities have also published a large number of consultation documents, draft rules and other information since the last edition of In context. And finally, we highlight important court decisions.

Additional tier 1 capital issued in accordance with the Capital Requirements Regulation is to be treated as debt capital for tax purposes. As is already the case in other European member states, payments on these instruments will be deductible by the party making the payments and taxed on the recipient's part. Early December 2014, the First Chamber of the Dutch parliament adopted a bill to this effect. New capital instruments (e.g., contingent convertibles or CoCos) will be taken into account in calculating the leverage ratio. This will allow Dutch banks to use the additional tier 1 capital to meet the Basel III capital requirements. Also, the new rules are in line with the tax treatment in other European member states.
The new rules are expected to enter into force on 1 January 2015 and will have retroactive effect from 1 January 2014.

The Strategic Project Management Methodology, C3PM, is an organized, tool-supported approach that will reduce your effort, dramatically improve your impact and make heroes of everyone on the project you are sponsoring, managing or to which you're a participant. You may even win national recognition, get over 20:1 ROI, reduce complexity and cycle time by 80% and bask in customer kudos for your efforts! Others have so you could, too.
Most improvement and innovation projects start with only assumptions about or symptoms of a problem or opportunity. The fastest, most optimum solution is not yet known. Projects related to continuous improvement, strategic initiatives, Lean, Six Sigma, customer satisfaction, new product or service innovation and cultural change fall into this category. They are often high-risk endeavors that have fuzzy direction, high failure rates and low ROI. The Strategic Project Management Methodology C3PM is designed to prevent those problems and create heroes, starting with you. It provides the tools and steps from creating a crystal clear charter through construction of a final presentation that is compelling, based on unimpeachable data and supported by prioritized qualitative customer input (Voice of the Customer).
There are nine major steps in the full Strategic Project Management Methodology C3PM project. Not all projects require all the steps. The C3 Tools and methodology are generally introduced in a just-in-time basis by a skilled C3 project manager. This maximizes retention and application of new learning, while tailoring everything to the unique needs of each project team.

From the USA Today bestselling author of The Untouchables series comes your next Regency obsession: The Spitfire Society... Meet the smart, independent women who've decided they don't need Society's rules, their families' expectations, or, most importantly, a husband. But just because they don't need a man doesn't mean they might not want one. After failing on the Marriage Mart, Jane Pemberton has two choices: submit to her parents' edict to marry their boring neighbor or become a self-declared spinster and take up residence in the official headquarters of the Spitfire Society. It's really no choice at all, and Jane is eager to embrace her newfound independence. She soon finds an unconscious viscount on her doorstep and nurses him back to health. When he offers to compensate her, she requests payment in the form of private instruction of a scandalous and intimate kind. Having spiraled into a self-destructive abyss following the murder of his parents, Anthony, Viscount Colton, physically recovers under the care of an alluring spitfire. But it is her charm and flirtatiousness that soothes his soul and arouses his desire-until an extortion scheme forces him to face the sins of his past. Now, to save the woman who's given him everything he lost and more, he'll have to pay the ultimate price: his heart.

Over the long course of Japan's history, its rich natural environment simultaneously supported its human inhabitants and created significant hazards and challenges. The Japanese have also influenced nature in numerous ways, from landscape modification to industrial pollution. How has the human-nature relationship changed over time in Japan? How does Japan's environmental history compare with that of other countries, or that of the world as a whole?
Environment and Society in the Japanese Islands attempts to answer these questions through a series of case studies by leading Japanese and Western historians, geographers, archaeologists, and climatologists. These essays, on diverse topics from all periods of Japanese history and prehistory, are unified by their focus on the key concepts of "resilience" and "risk mitigation." Taken as a whole, they place Japan's experience in global context and call into question the commonly presumed division between premodern and modern environmental history.
Primarily intended for scholars and students in fields related to Japan or environmental history, these accessibly written essays will be valuable to anyone wishing to learn about the historical roots of today's environmental issues or the complex relationship between human society and the natural environment.


Community Led Total Sanitation, or CLTS, is an approach which facilitates a process of empowering local communities to stop open defecation and to build and use latrines without the support of any external hardware subsidy. Since the approach was first pioneered in Bangladesh in 1999 CLTS has continued to spread within that country and many interesting innovations, as well as some important sustainability issues, have emerged. The approach has been introduced in a number of other countries in Asia and in Africa with much success. Interest amongst different institutions is growing, particularly as it is realised that CLTS has a great potential for contributing towards meeting the Millennium Development Goals, both directly on water and sanitation (goal 7) and indirectly through the knock-on impacts of improved sanitation on combating major diseases, particularly diarrhoea (goal 6), improving maternal health (goal 5) and reducing child mortality (goal 4). However, rapid institutional take-up of CLTS has raised some dilemmas and challenges, not least of which is the need for changes in attitudes and mindsets of donors who wish to support and promote CLTS. Reflection on new experiences and lessons is proving important to ensure that the quality and spirit of the approach is maintained and therefore this short update documents recent developments, highlighting emerging innovations, lessons and challenges which enrich the original 2003 Working Paper, which is reprinted after the update. Keywords: sanitation, participation, Bangladesh, update, community, entry-point.

Do you hate your job but want it to improve?
Are you someone who dreads going to work for various reasons? If so, you may be wondering how you can use the Law of Attraction to help you improve your work situation. Believe it or not there are a few ways, but for this article I'll let you know about one of them. It comes in the form of a question. It may sound alarming at first since you're so used to thinking about how much you don't like your job, but here it is: "what do you appreciate and like about your job?" Even though you might be find it really hard to find something you do like, search for something you like or appreciate and focus on that instead of constantly focusing on what you don't like.
For example, say there are a few co-works that you enjoy at the office. Focus on the good times and conversations you have. Or maybe you enjoy the company of other people in general so it's healthy for you to just be out and around people? Could it be that you're helping people in what you do so that's something positive you could focus on? Of course the obvious benefit of going to work is making money. Think of all the wonderful things that the money you make allows you to do and have.
You see, if you focus on what you like about going to work, then eventually the universe will bring into your life a better work situation for you because that's what you've been giving your attention to. But, if you constantly focus on how much you don't like going to work, and other negative thoughts about your job, then that's what you'll keep attracting.
Thinking positive thoughts about your job will lessen the resistance you have about it, and less resistance will help you attract what you do want. It may be hard to do this at first, but with a little practice you'll be able to start finding things you do like about going to work. Eventually you may actually like going to your job because you're focusing on what you do like about it, and then you'll just feel better in general.
Who knows, maybe after you try this exercise you'll realize that you do like your job? But at a minimum, by doing this exercise you'll at least get some practice in focusing on what you like, and the more you do that, the better it gets.

A Housing and Development Board (HDB) terrace house was sold for nearly S$1.2 million in the third quarter of this year, smashing a previous record for the priciest HDB unit ever sold, according to a real estate trends report published by OrangeTee on Wednesday (Nov 21).
A total of 52 million-dollar HDB units were sold in the first three quarters of this year, the report said. Most of them – 40 units – were less than 20 years old.
Data compiled also showed that the prices of premium HDB flats are "holding up better in the current market" compared to smaller, standard flats, the report said.
"The possible increase could be attributed to more BTO flats reaching MOP next year and subsequently ready for resale. The demand may continue to be supported by the healthy job market and robust economy," it said.

The first Wärtsilä two-stroke engine with a high pressure SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system manufactured in China has been introduced. The system is fitted to a 5-cylinder Wärtsilä RT-flex58T-D 2-stroke, low speed engine produced at the Hudong Heavy Machinery Co Ltd (HHM) facilities. The SCR reactor was also manufactured by HHM. This is the first SCR system that complies with the IMO's Tier III regulations for engine emissions of nitrogen oxide (NOx).
The Wärtsilä engine with SCR is to be installed in a new 22,000 dwt multi-purpose vessel currently under construction at the Ouhua shipyard on behalf of China Navigation Co (CNCo). The ship, which is scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of this year, has been designed to allow sufficient space for the fitting of the SCR. This will enable the vessel to comply with the Tier III regulations for NOx control.
The SCR system for this application has been jointly developed by HHM and Winterthur Gas & Diesel (WinGD), the joint venture company of Wärtsilä and China State Shipbuilding Company (CSSC), using a basic design concept from Wärtsilä which has been adapted to suit the particular requirements of the engine and ship. Wärtsilä has been producing its high pressure NOx Reducer SCR systems since the late 1990s. The system injects a solution of urea into the exhaust gas flow to react with and eliminate the NOx emissions. It is a high pressure process because the reactor is located between the engine exhaust valves and the turbocharger turbine inlet. This provides the most compact and efficient system without compromising engine performance or impacting fuel consumption.
The introduction was made at a ceremony held on 23 January 2015 at the factory of CSSC-MES Diesel (CMD) in Lingang Shanghai where the system was tested. Andrew Stump, Vice President Product Management at WinGD commented: "WinGD is committed to an ongoing testing and improvement programme on all areas of Tier III compliance. This first China produced high pressure SCR is an important milestone among many more to come."
"HHM is very happy to deliver the first 2-stroke high pressure SCR produced in China. We have been working on development of the SCR with major designers during the past three years and now the cooperation with WinGD shows what is possible. We look forward to continued growth in this market," says Zhou Weizhong, Executive Director of R&D Center, Hudong Heavy Machinery.
Martin Cresswell, Fleet Director of CNCo, the owner of the vessel where the Wärtsilä engine with SCR is to be fitted, noted that the company will take delivery of 15 new vessels during 2015, all of which will be fitted with Wärtsilä engines manufactured by HHM. "All these vessels are to be fitted with modern Wärtsilä RT-flex engines and are designed to be the most efficient ships of their type and size," he added.
The test bed trials were approved by Lloyds Register. "These trials show that the technology to produce IMO Tier III compliant engines is actually available and hence give confidence that IMO Tier III certified engines will be ready for January 1, 2016," says John Bradshaw, Principal Technical Specialist, Lloyds Register.

NORTH BERWICK, Scotland (AP) Chris Wood and Matt Fitzpatrick were both eliminated from the Paul Lawrie Match Play on Friday, leaving their chances of competing for Europe at the Ryder Cup in the balance.
Top-seeded Wood lost 2 and 1 to Daniel Brooks in the round of 32, before Fitzpatrick was beaten 4 and 3 by Alejandro Canizares in the last 16.
The Englishmen currently occupy two of the final slots in Darren Clarke's European team going into the last month of qualifying. Wood would have sealed his place at Hazeltine by winning the title at Archerfield in eastern Scotland.
The 21-year-old Fitzpatrick didn't drop a shot in his opening two wins - 4 and 3 against Thomas Bjorn on Thursday, and 6 and 5 over Matt Ford in the round of 32 - and only had one bogey against Canizares, who made seven birdies in 15 holes.
James Morrison is the form player heading into the quarterfinals: None of his three matches have reached the 16th hole. He had 4-and-3 wins over Graeme Storm and Michael Hoey on Friday.
Also in the quarterfinals are Haydn Porteous of South Africa, Johan Carlsson of Sweden and Oliver Fisher of England.
Tournament host Paul Lawrie was eliminated in the round of 32 by Richard Green on the 19th hole.


Warmi in quechua (the native language of the Incas) means woman or union. For Amano, Warmi is the union of two unique fibers: Baby Alpaca and Merino Wool. The inspiration for the color card comes from the inimitable palette of Peruvian fruits and flowers. Warmi is presented exclusively in melange colors.


See the key looks of the season from the Louis Vuitton Men's Spring show.
This Spring collection is not about any one destination but rather the world as a whole. Kim Jones who loves to travel, was inspired by what people wear in different countries. Reds, blues, silver and ivory, the coherent and sober palette of colors was offset by an array of shapes and materials. With a focus on scarves this season, this collection has something for everyone, from the epi shoes to the monogrammed backpacks.
